Camera on? Mask on!
The scene opens up with NWB's Denise Roundtree quickly climbing a flight of stairs with a camera following her.
Round One
FIGHT!
Camera on? Mask on!
The scene opens up with NWB's Denise Roundtree quickly climbing a flight of stairs with a camera following her.
Lady Dee:
"Come on! Come on! We need to get this scoop before Dutt can!"
Busy trying to keep the shot as clear as he can, the poor cameraman wasn't able to respond to the relentless urgings of the woman as she led the charge up the stairwell. Thankfully for him the duo soon came to the door, carrying the momentum that they had through the entire climb, the two burst through the door and out into the open air as they exited out onto a rooftop high above the Osaka district of Namba. Now with a chance to rest out in the open air, Denise and her cameraman could be heard panting heavily as they struggled to catch their breath. However, Denise didn't let a little heavy breathing deter her from her goal and she quickly began looking about the are for the very reason she had rushed all the way up here. Her scoop. The mysterious newcomer, Kitsune Tsukiko.
Lady Dee:
"W-Where is she? Do you see her? HELLO? HELLOOOOOOO!"
Tsukiko:
"Do quiet down Miss Roundtree. There is no need to shout when I've been waiting for you."
WIth the voice of Tsukiko reprimanding them, both Denise and the cameraman swiveled around to when the voice had come from. Once the cameraman did, a woman wearing a black and silver kimono along with matching black and silver kitsune mask stood atop the roof of the stairwell that they had exited from moments ago. Only momentarily taken aback by the sudden appearance of Tsukiko, Denise quickly walked into the shot and motioned for the woman to come down from her perch. However, that didn't last long. Not underneath that strangely piercing gaze that Tsukiko had when she looked into the camera.
Lady Dee:
"Oooooookay then. Well.......How can we start if you won't come down?"
Tsukiko said not a word as Denise's question hung in the air between the two of them. After several silent moments, Tsukiko turned her back to the expectant duo and walked out of sight!
Lady Dee:
"HOLD ON! WAIT! COME BACK HERE!"
With an exasperated look on her face, Denise turned back to the camera and threw her hands up into the air! Just as she did, the shadowy form of Tsukiko stepped out from behind the frustrated NBW staff member.
Tsukiko:
"You need to relax Miss Roundtree. Too much stress shortens your already short lifespan."
Lady Dee:
"WHAT THE?!"
Tsukiko:
"Again, with the shouting. Please step aside and calm yourself."
Just managing to recover from Tsukiko's second surprising appearance, a look of confusion clouded Denise's face.
Lady Dee:
"What do you mean you mean by that? I came to interview you and you can bet that I will get the job done."
Tsukiko:
You are incorrect Miss Roundtree. You are not going to be interviewing me as I did not request you to. In fact, I merely asked for a cameraman to meet me here."
Lady Dee
"T-That.......I-I can explain! I NEED this!"
Unaffected by the woman's selfish pleas, Tsukiko motioned for Denise to move aside. Visibly reluctant to do, Denise complied and stepped out of the camera shot and allowed Tsukiko to become the sole focus. Once she was sure that everything was in order Tsukiko began to speak.
Tsukiko:
"Ladies and Gentleman watching at home. I am the Zenko kitsune of the moon, Tsukiko. For those wondering why I am here you may rejoice for I shall answer that burning question that dwells within your hearts. Though I doubt you are aware that the question you bear has two answers that are no less important than the other. You see, since my debut in the realm of puroresu I have challenged and been challenged by some of the most impressive warriors that they could collectively offer. Unfortunately, it seems that trend has come to an overly underwhelming end. For that, I offer my sincerest apologies."
Once she finished speaking, Tsukiko bent forward and bowed the best that she could in her elegent kimono. When she straightened back up, however, any and all sense of sorriness was completely erased from her demeanor. Instead, a fierceness dwelled within the eyes of the masked woman.
Tsukiko:
"Despite the obvious mismatch between the two of us, those that rule NBW have chosen for Lilianna Rose to be my first opponent. For the average warrior, it may seem like an incredible chance to prove to the world that they can compete with somebody of her caliber. Unfortunately for her, I am not one of those people. To me, Lilianna Rose is nothing more than a child pretending to be something more than she is. Now I want you all to be keenly aware that I am not discrediting her past accomplishments. Not by any means. It's just that she cannot compare what little she has done within her mediocre life when in the face of mine. I have seen far more powerful men and women rise to power only for them to just as easily fall back down to nothingness. It is a fate that Lilianna also shares. She has reached the peak of her power and now she is in the middle of falling back down to where she rightfully belongs. Obscure nothingness."
As she neared the end of her speech, Tsukiko turned around and began walking over to the end of the building. Once she reached the edge, Tsukiko came to a stop and held her arms out to her side. Slowly a silverish light began to gather and shine within each of her palms. After several moments of holding onto the lights, Tsukiko clapped her hands together! As if mimicking a sound wave, the two silver lights spread outwards from the point in which they had been forcefully slammed together. After the silver light had spread outwards in every direction an eerie smog like substance began to appear before the camera. Off-screen, a loud gasp from Roundtree could be heard, but she said nothing afterward. Unfazed by what was before her, the masked woman faced the camera once more.
Tsukiko:
"For those that were paying attention, what you see before you is the second answer as to why I have chosen NBW. The inky black miasma that you see grants those with a corrupted heart an incredible power. Power to stand on equal footing with beings such as myself. Now that may sound all well and good, but the reality is that the very miasma also destroys them from the inside out. Almost as if they are rooting. Now I am sure you are all wondering where this comes from and why it exists. To that, I have no answer. What I can say is that this very thing is what gives Lilianna Rose a chance to truly live up to what she claims she is. Is her heart corrupted enough to use this evil power? Who knows. What I do know is that I have seen the hearts of the rest of the NBW warriors and they CAN harness the power it grants. In doing so they give me three things that are the most satisfying. A true challenge, the chance to expel that evil within them, and the ability to truly give you all a battle worth watching.
Now I address you, Miss Rose. We both know that you don't stand a chance against me. The words you speak are equal to that of the actions you have taken up till this moment and that is disappointing. You claim you are the pinnacle of world-class warriors, but from what I have seen you are nothing shy of a novice. Being a gold medalist means nothing after a year, just like being on the list. You know this, and yet you still cling onto that out of desperation in hopes that if you repeat it enough people will actually start to care about it. Much like you have gone around repeatedly saying that you're going to be defeating me on Monday. The unfortunate reality is that you are going to suffer a most disgraceful defeat Lilianna. There are no words that can protect you from that just like there is no way that you can protect yourself from the onslaught of carnage that I shall unleash upon your twisted heart. Until the fated day of your defeat, I want your little mortal mind to dwell on a simple question.
What good is a Rose when compared to a force that can break the Moon?"
Leaving one last question dwelling in the minds of everyone, Tsukiko took a step back before abruptly jumping off the edge of the rooftop. With a startled shout, Denise ran over to the edge and back into the scene. Without waiting for her to order him to come over, the cameraman made his way next to the NBW Interviewer and looked over the edge of the building as well only to see what she was seeing in relation to Tsukiko. Nothing. The scene fades to black as Denise silently mouths three simple words. What the fuck.
A seperate life
Tsukiko:
'Finally! Some peace and quiet!'
Unabashedly, Tsukiko flopped onto the bed of her lavish seaside hotel room. Still dressed in the swimsuit she had worn during the photo shoot, the kitsune rolled onto her back and closed her eyes as the santcuary of silence befell her. The entire day had been a whirlwind of people, places, and a staggering amount of pictures being taken. Such was the life of the 20 year old Idol Model Miki Matsumura. To think only a few years ago nobody knew that name, but now everyone in Japan did. So much so that they relentlessly bombarding the company that she was managed by. If it wasn't various varity shows that were begging for an appearance from here then it was some company hoping that she would be the spokeswoman/model for their product. Sadly for the kitsune, the solitude wasn't meant to last. Just as she was starting to relax a long knock sounded at her door.
Manager:
"Miki! It's time for the next set!"
Tsukiko:
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be right there!"
It wasn't until she was sure that the man had truly gone away did Tsukiko move from her spot. To say she was reluctant was an understatement.
Tsukiko:
"I might have to become a recluse."
WIthout another word or thought on the subject, Tsukiko left the room. However, it was not as Tsukiko the kitsune but as Miki Matsumura the Model Idol. Ready and set for yet another set of nearly endless photos that were going to be taken of her in the swimsuit she wore.
