Different Way

[Madelyne 'The Shadow' Wright]

After the shocking events from last week's Superiority, it seems that the newcomer Madelyne has joined forces with the group Trinity, taking the place recently vacated by one R.M. Strong.

"I only did what I had to to get ahead in this business. I was approached about this, and I did what I was told to do. I took out Strong and took my place with the rest of the Trinity. Out with the old and in with the new like they say. And Strong was getting old like yesterday's trash.

Things are gonna change, just you wait and see."

The next Superiority was a few days away at the current time, and Autumn Raven was wandering around in the depths of this big city looking for the next big adventure she could get herself into. It was such a vast change from where she lived, she had to admit. There was a lot more activity and hustle and bustle here, than back home. She wasn’t sure if she could handle living here for even a day, and she wondered how people did it living here all their lives.

She let out a sigh, humming a tune she had heard coming out of a passing car as she stopped outside of Carnegie Hall, one of the most famous musical venues in the world. Her eyes traveled up the length of the building to the very top as she stood back to take a picture of it. Seeing it in pictures, and seeing it in person was a lot different she had to admit to herself.

So much to see and do, she thought quietly, turning around and stepping to the curb, hailing a cab to take her down to the Empire State Building. She wanted a good view of the city while shooting this promo, and that building would do just fine. The yellow cab pulled up to the curb and she opened the back door, sliding in.

”Empire State Building, please.”

The man in front nodded his head and sped off in that direction, the rest of the city buzzing by them both. Several minutes later they had made it to the destination and she paid the driver before sliding out, staring up at the large building before making the arduous climb to the very top. If you had asked her what she was thinking, she would of told you the same thing she always said. The match, of course.

At the last Superiority event, she had the unfortunate business of being eliminated from that match she debuted in. She went into that with a calm mind, half expecting to win and half expecting to lose. She didn't care either way. All she knew was that she was going to make an impact in her debut.

She did...in a way. It wasn't what she did during the match, it was what happened later on that people were still talking about. She had taken a chair to Strong and beaten him with it until he was out cold. It was to teach him a lesson that certain people should not be crossed and failure wasn't going to be tolerated by certain people. Which is why she took his place among Trinity. Pictures of her with the ash drawn cross on her forehead were splashed on pages everywhere.

If that wasn't a true sign of her allegiance with them, then she didn't know what was. Now she had Andre Dixon to deal with this week. The only thing she was told was to go out there and do her thing, make people understand. Bring the fear of the Shadow to them.

Andre didn't know what was coming to him.

There was a reason people hadn't heard of her since the last event. She wanted it that way. The less people knew where she was the more beneficial it was for her. That way she could sneak up on people and take them out without much of a worry about it. Andre thought this was going to be an easy match. He was expecting to coast on by in this one and make an example of her like he did with Chenoa.

There was a vast difference between her and Chenoa.

She wasn't going to fall down and fail at this like that one did. There was a lot more to her than just a pretty face and a good looking body. She had the skills to take you down before you even got the chance to blink.

And people were watching this time. The eyes of the Trinity were watching.

"Andre, oh Andre, I’m talking to you. Be prepared, and be ready. Leave your little worries behind and come to find me. Yes me. Not that girl on the street, not your friends. Just me.

You hear me?

Yeah, they call me The Shadow. But you can call me the winner after this. And you will just be another notch on the totem pole for me."
