Match 17: Eli Zechariah Goddard (EMERGE) vs. Katie Steward (SCW)

[Team Desire]

SCW Goddess | Katie Steward | "A Stroll through a Town"

{The episode starts in an open field with tall grass that stretches for miles. The scene opens to Katie Steward walking through the grass. She is dressed in a long white gown and wearing a floral crown on her head. She walks towards a run down carriage that looks to have set up a small camp ground. She walks up the carriage door and knocks on it checking if anyone is inside. She can overhear movement inside and a few seconds later the door opens. Katie steps back to not get smack with the door. Out of the carriage steps a young man dressed in black leather garb.}


Katie Steward: Hello. Are you Eli Zechariah?


Eli: It depends on whose asking?


Katie Steward: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m Katie. I’m on a journey and I was told that maybe you could help me. Well not so much you specifically, but Autumn Daniels told me I could find someone out this way and I found your camp here. So…


Eli: And what is it you think I can help you with?


Katie Steward: I don’t know. Autumn is never really that straight forward with anything. Always so dark and cryptic. Well seeing you I kinda of figured…


Eli: Figured what?


Katie Steward: You know, just forget about it. I’m a Goddess… or at least I use to be. I’m trying to get my powers back, but things don’t ever seem to go my way. I’m just trying to find someone who can help point me in the right direction.


Eli: I see.


{Eli starts to pace around Katie as he takes in what she told him. He makes a full circle around and stops. He turns to her and smiles.}


Eli: I think I understand.


Katie Steward: Really? Oh thank you. You don’t know how much this means…


{Katie notices something off with the way he looks at her. The smile he flashes isn’t a helpful one, but one of opportunity. Eli casts some wicked dark magic that blasts Katie back and into the tall grass.}


{Katie wakes up several minutes later as the blast had knocked out. She looks around and the carriage and the camp is gone and so is Eli. Katie sits up and sees the trail left behind that is made in the grass. She stands and sprints a couple of feet.}


Katie Steward: No, no, no… Oh my Goddess, why does this have to be made so hard?


{Katie follows the trail and she hurries before it disappears on her. The trails leads her into a run down town with a few dozen homeless who have fallen on hard times. Katie continues on the trail and finds the carriage, but no sign of Eli. Katie looks around for clues on where he could’ve gone. She notices a suspicious barn nearby. She walks over to the open door frame where the door is missing. She peaks inside the darkened barn, but she can’t see anything. She gets an uncomfortable feeling that someone is watching her. Katie spins around ready to back elbow someone and it’s caught by an old friend, Weasel.}


Katie Steward: Weasel? What are you doing here?


Weasel: I’m not sure.


Katie Steward: Have you been following me?


Weasel: No. I just noticed you were headed into The Brotherhood hideout and thought I should stop you. It’s not to friendly inside there.


Katie Steward: The Brotherhood?


Weasel: It’s a bad gang that hangs around this shabby little town. That run this place.


{Katie stand in front of the hideout and she looks through the door frame and wonders what any of this means.}


Katie Steward: The Brotherhood? This is why Autumn sent me out here. If I can beat the Brotherhood then maybe it’ll get me closer to finding my Goddess powers again.


Weasel: What does any of that mean?


Katie Steward: It’s a long story.


Weasel: Oh well, maybe we need some time to catch up then.


Katie Steward: Maybe.


{Katie steps away from the doorway and joins Weasel as the two walk away from the hideout and catch up on what the other has been doing since the last time they talked.}


______________________________________________________________________________________________________

{The scene changes around an hour later inside a small bar in the town. Katie and Weasel sit at a table next to the front window as the two reminisce about themselves.}


Katie Steward: So you have no idea how you got here? Are you ok? Is the blackouts painful?


Weasel: I don’t think so. I can’t remember much of anything lately.


Katie Steward: Oh my Goddess, I’m so sorry.


Weasel: No, I’m sorry. I bought the mood down. We should talk about you. You’ve done a lot since we were together. Championships, friends, movies… it’s amazing.


Katie Steward: Oh well it keeps me busy and out of trouble. At least that is the plan normally. Now I’m just on this journey trying to find my Goddess powers again. I thought this Eli guy was who Autumn send me to find, but doesn’t seem to be the case.


Weasel: Eli Zechariah?


Katie Steward: Yeah. You know him?


Weasel: No, but it sounds like a name of someone from the Brotherhood.


Katie Steward: What is the Brotherhood? I don’t understand.


Weasel: There just a group. They act like a gang. They run things outside the city lines. It’s best to go back and don’t mess with them.


Katie Steward: No. I’m not leaving. If what you’re saying is true then this is what I need to do. I need to defeat the Brotherhood and save this town.


Weasel: Are you crazy? You can’t fight them. I just told you they run this town.


Katie Steward: Yeah and look at this place. It’s a dump. Clearly this is what I was sent here to do.


{Katie glances out the window and she sees Eli right there. He’s just standing out on the road is plain view of her.}


Katie Steward: There he is.


{Katie jumps out of her seat and rushes out of the place. Katie steps outside and makes a b line straight at Eli. She yells at him getting his attention.}


Katie Steward: Hey! We still have business to take care of.


{Katie marches straight at Eli looking for a fight. Katie gets closer and Eli raises his hand and opens his palm up and blows some kind of smoke in Katie’s direction. Before the smoke hits Katie she is tackled to the ground by Weasel. The two roll on the ground and Katie fights Weasel off and stands back to her feet and looks around and Eli has run off.}


Katie Steward: What is wrong with you?


Weasel: I told you you can’t fight them.


Katie Steward: Yeah, well I don’t really have a choice. This is what I have to do. I need my Goddess powers back and beating Eli is what I must do and if I don’t… if I can’t… I don’t know what I’m going to do.


Weasel: I’m sorry.


Katie Steward: I’m not your valet anymore. I think that maybe, we should just continue on our own journeys.


{Katie turns around and walks away leaving Weasel behind. Katie takes a deep breath as she tries to control her emotions. She walks on the path out of the town trying to get out of their as fast as she can.}


______________________________________________________________________________________________________

{The scene opens several minutes later and Katie continues on the path out of town. She comes across another on the path out of the town and it happens to be Eli.}


Katie Steward: You have some nerve. I came to you looking for help, but you attack me and left me alone.


Eli: Sorry about that. Nothing personal. It’s just out here we can’t trust too many people. When you show up asking for help. Usually the start of something shady. Then you show up again with him.


Katie Steward: Him? You mean Weasel. What does he have to do with anything?


Eli: He is the one with the demon inside of him. I was trying to knock him out back there.


Katie Steward: (laughs) Yeah right. He said you were the ones that ran that town into the ground. This fight is between me and you.


Eli: I respect the challenge, but we keep order and you’re the one on the wrong side.


{Katie stands there and thinks to herself. She wonders if Eli is telling her the truth and a cold chill suddenly breezes on by. The tall grass blows and Katie hears something running up on her. Weasel pushes pass her and knocks her to the ground. Weasel grabs Eli and pulls out a blade.}


Katie Steward: Weasel, no! He’s my fight. I have to defeat him.


Weasel: You’re right. I sensed your powers weakened since we met in town. Beating Eli won’t give you them back.


Katie Steward: I know, but it’ll bring me a step closer to it. Whoever that person is.


{Weasel lets go of Eli and he pushes Weasel off him and run down the trail.}


Katie Steward: I can beat him. I’ve come along way from our days in the nation. I’ve became a Queen, a Goddess and even a World Champion.


Weasel: Good luck.


{Weasel taps Katie on her arm as he leaves her side and the scene fades.}


______________________________________________________________________________________________________

{The scene changes back to Katie’s house in Los Angeles, California and we join Katie and Katelyn in her basement sitting around a table with a paper map laid down on it.}


Katie Steward: So what do you think? Is the story amazing or what?


Katelyn Buehler: Oh I’m so looking forward to your match with Goddard. You’re totally going to show him why you’re SCW and he’s Emerge.


Katie Steward: That’s going to be so interesting. I’ve never faced anyone from Emerge before. Well I did face Peyton Rice. She did take my TV Title… SCW should’ve canceled that program immediately after.


Katelyn Buehler: Oh I agree.


Katie Steward: First Valor and now Emerge this is what I need more than ever to prove myself again. To earn my place again and be a World Champion. This is how it’s done. I’m going to show Goddard what a world class storyteller Katie Steward is.


{Katelyn smiles at Katie as she claps for her as Katie gets ready for her next God of Wrestling match.}
