UKWF Moment of Truth 

BANG!

The loud noise echoed throughout the nearly empty locker room. Gaia Galanos was all alone in the locker room after having defeated Moonlight Master, but not the way she wanted to. Yes, the record books would show that she had a victory over Moonlight, but she would always remember that Moonlight was on the verge of tapping out. On the verge of tapping out. Something that no one else in the history of the sport could claim.

The Spartan woman cursed in her native language before sitting upon the bench before her locker. She lowered her head, allowing her golden locks to hang over her face. This disqualification win over Moonlight meant one thing. It meant that no matter what happens when Hunt By Night and The Master Sisters face off, whether The Masters win or Hunt By Night did, Gaia Galanos and Moonlight Master had unfinished business. Tonight’s show, Moment of Truth, should have been aptly named so Gaia and Moonlight could take their frustrations out on one another, and put their rivalry behind them once and for all, but Aurora and Carnival had to ruin that. Thus, the rivalry continues.

Just then, Night Train peeked around the corner of the lockers. She creeped into the room, and tapped her shoulder. “Is partner friend, okay? Me know things not go way you like, Gaia. But look for bright siding. You get another shot just next show. Hunt By Night versus Master Sister. Me know you had her, this close. You get her again, I smack taste out of their mouths, yeah?”

Without looking up, Gaia muttered, “it’s not the same. I want Moonlight one-on-one.” Slowly, Galanos brought her gaze to meet with her tag team partner’s own. Those icy blues stared straight through her. “Ever since GPW,” she began, “Moonlight Master versus Gaia Galanos has been a dream matchup, and when it finally happens,” Gaia’s voice trailed off as she brought a hammerfist down on the wooden bench causing it to quake under her power.

Night Train frowned, understanding. She just nodded and hugged Gaia. “You get another one-on-one sometime soon too, me guess, okay? Forget this.”

For a long moment, Gaia sat there with Night Train embracing her. She pressed her cheek against her partner, taking comfort in her presence. It was in this moment that she knew the wild Ayano was most definitely the partner she could trust to rise to the top along side. “Efcharistó, Night Train,” she said, smooshing her cheek against Ayano’s own. “Mind giving me a moment, and we’ll go find Sophia together,” she requested of her partner. Night Train patted Gaia on the shoulder and stepped out into the hallway at Galanos’ wish.

Night Train was right. A rematch would happen, and Moonlight would taste defeat not on the Masters’ terms, but on The Lioness’ terms. Gaia Galanos stood and walked toward the door of the locker room. She glanced back at the dented locker before exiting.

[The Master]

Aurora and Moonlight are in the middle of the ring, while Carnival is outside playing Nintendo 3DS, seemingly not caring much about what was going to be said. 

Aurora:  

Hello inferiors, my name is Aurora Master and this right here are the number one contenders to the most prestigious title in UKWF, because, seriously, Blaise Fader? Either way… Tonight we’re going to give you a dream match, because we’re just that great.  

Now, I know the last time Moonlight and Gaia faced things didn’t end up like YOU wanted, but WE don’t care! We’re not here to give you instant classics, we’re here to have fun ruining lives. BUT! But we’re feeling nice today so we ARE going to give you that instant classic. Why? Well, this way we can gloat when Moonlight comes victorious! After all, we… 

Moonlight covers Aurora’s microphone and takes it from her hand.  

Moonlight:  

Gaia. I know what’s going through your mind. “I could have one our last match! But her sisters had to ruin it!” That is the fuel that you will use in this match.  

Back then I was angry, but I’m not anymore. I’ve realised something… I don’t need to look up to you, you’re not above me. I don’t need to prove you anything. I don’t need this match. You do.  

This time, it’s you who is trying to prove something, you’re the one that wants, NEEDS, to win, to be better than me.  

Last time you almost defeat me, but last time doesn’t matter. The one you’re facing is not the one you faced, and the result will be different.  

Sure, you fared well against Moonlight, but the question you should be asking is not “Can I prove I’m better than Moonlight this time?”, it’s “Can I survive Murderboss?” 

Moonlight follows the trait of her older sister and throws the microphone away before leaving the arena in silence.

Moonlight:  

C-Come on, aunt. Get u-up...  

Red was on the floor of the bathroom barely showing signs of conscience. The dark hair paint was starting to fade and she looked more like her twin, my mother, as ever before. I was about to leave the bathroom when Aunt Green got inside and closed the door.  

Moonlight:  

Uh… W-We’re s-still here.  

Green:  

Oh, you’re stuttering again, are you? 

I glared at her. 

Moonlight:  

What about it? 

Green:  

I thought that, since you told everyone you were faking that you’d just stop that. 

Moonlight:  

I don’t do it for the world, aunt. I do it for me. It’s not just the stuttering, it’s… it’s Moonlight, being that person makes me feel better, makes me feel safe against myself… 

My aunt chuckled. 

Green:  

Really? You’re weird. 

Moonlight:  

Weird? 

I punched the wall at my side, I could feel the tears running down my cheeks. 

Moonlight:  

WEIRD?! Of course I’m fucking weird! Have you seen this dysfunctional family? And all of this… you think it’s funny? I hate myself! I hate who I am! And it’s all YOUR fault!  

My aunt looked at my eyes with fear and regret… something I don’t think I had ever seen in her happy go lucky face.  

Green:  

S-sorry.  

She opened the door and left quickly before I had time to apologise for the stupid words I said.  

It’s not that it wasn’t true… but I know my aunt always tried to do the best for me, in her stupid ways.  

I looked at Red, who was still on the floor before leaving the bathroom. Carnival was waiting for me with a piece of cake. 

Carnival:  

‘Sup MurderBruce Springsteen? 

I grabbed the cake and forced a smile. 

Moonlight:  

D-Don’t let Aurora l-l-listen to that horrible, horrible joke. Happy 24th C-Carny.  

Carnival:  

Thank you! I’m aiming for at least more twenty four of these! Are you ready for Gaia, by the way? 

I sigh and nodded. I had to be, right? The dream match… I was getting tired of it, to be honest. For once, couldn’t I just stay in bed? But I guess we still had things to settle… But would my life and Gaia ever stop being interconnected? 

Moonlight:  

Yeah. I a-am. She i-isn’t stronger t-t-than me!  

Carnival:  

Damn right, she isn’t! You got them sexy strong muscles! I wish I was like you! 

Moonlight: 

Y-you do? 

Carnival:  

Yeah, and so does Rory, she’d love to be you. You’re lucky. We’re stuck with weaker bodies.  

Moonlight:  

I’d t-trade with you e-easily… 

Carnival: 

Eh… don’t, momma Pink always said to enjoy what you have! 

Of course, aunt Pink has two disabled kids, another one who is albino, Carnival, a dead husband and dementia… but I guess I can kind a see what she would mean… She does seem to enjoy her life when she’s sane… 

Moonlight: 

Y-you seen a-a-aunt Green? 

Carnival: 

Yup, I think she went home, why? 

Moonlight: 

I need to apologise.

“There’s a saying that everyone is familiar with:,” began Gaia Galanos as UKWF’s latest video upload began, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” As if she had never pointed this out, Gaia skipped re-routed her subject. “Six months ago, the United Kingdom was robbed of the rightful outcome of one of the biggest dream matchups from GPW. To this day, it continues to haunt me,” said Galanos dryly as her eyes became cold.

“Everyone in attendance at the York Hall that night knew, just as well as I knew and you can bet your whole fortune on the fact that Aurora knew,” Gaia paused a moment as her jawline visibly tightened, displaying a feeling that Gaia wasn’t quite over that night, “Moonlight was about to tap out to the Galanos Clutch. I had her exactly where I wanted her, and, naturally, Aurora and Carnival couldn’t allow that to happen.”

“So,” Gaia raised a single index finger and clinched her teeth before raising her eyes back toward the camera and continuing, “before I address your beloved little sister, Aurora, I want you and Carnival to listen closely and carefully because if you don’t, if you don’t,” she reiterated the words to ensure that her subjects understood them clearly, “I will dismantle both of you until you can’t even think about walking down to the ring much less trying to compete in it.”

“Moonlight,” Gaia began again after pausing long enough to ensure that her words had sunk in for Aurora and Carnival. “I want you to take a look at these.” Gaia lifted not one, but two championships up on each shoulder. One title was easily recognizable as the UKWF Tag Team Championship and the other, naturally, was the renowned World Crown Championship. “I wasn’t handed either one of these. Nor was I just gifted a shot at either of these. Six months ago, you learned why I am as decorated in professional wrestling as I am. You learned why within my first year I was holding two major championships at the same time… or at least you would have. Because despite the fact that you were at wit’s end. Despite the fact that you were a mere second away from tapping out. Despite knowing damn well I had you defeated, you’re sisters bailed you out. That won’t happen again, Moonlight, because ‘The Lioness’ doesn’t deal in wins with asterisks beside them,” Gaia pointed out with a devious grin growing on her features. “Those who do not learn history,” she began again, “are doomed to repeat it.” Her words were slow and calculated. “At UKWF Faceoff, I will win, but history will not repeat itself.” Without another word, Gaia’s hand reached in and the feed went black.
