Homecoming Main Event Promo
“Minor Threat”
The trip from Tokyo to L.A. wore me out. After Cloud’s victory I wanted to go home from Vegas, but my sensei had other plans for me. She talked me into a training session with various members of the JET Academy. Cloud and Azumi would be taking on LUMINOID at Sakura Blooming for the JET Tag Team Championship. Stephanie was excited to be teaming with Azumi again, and would talk non-stop about it during the flight.As annoying as it was, there was this little gleam in her eye whenever she would bring up the match. I wouldn’t put it past her that being involved with JET reminded her of much simpler times. These days she held the biggest women’s title in the industry, where she historically unified it with a title from a merged promotion. She did it on the biggest stage in pro wrestling, and boy what a sight to behold. Me, my mother, Lauryn, and the Wild Boys went over the barracks to celebrate with her in the ring. We brought her to the back to her suite where we partied until around 4 in the morning.
I thought I was the first to wake up (judging by the collapsed bodies on the couch and floor), when I walked onto the balcony, I caught Stephanie in a state I haven’t seen her in for a while. She was curled up on the corner weeping with her face buried in both women’s titles. As I inched closer, it sounded like she was thanking my father repeatedly. I forgot what happened the following moment, but I ended up buried in Cloud’s bosom, crying my eyes out. I may have remarked how much dad would be proud of her and how proud we were of her accomplishments. Cloud and I very rarely had moments like these, but it made me think about what it would be like when I won my first company title. Maybe I would be like how Cloud was then- how we both were. Regardless of how I would handle my victory, the first step was to win the title in the first place.

“The Minor Era huh? Sounds kind of lackluster. You seem to be so sure of yourself that you’re going to walk away with the Lethal Angel Championship. You think your hardships were any different than mine!? I struggled and grind just as much as you Miranda! You give this impression that I’m this princess who grew up with everything! Heh, life wasn’t easy for me either. But let me avoid comparing personal tragedies and cut to the chase: Homecoming. LAW’s first show and one of us is guaranteed to walk out of there with the strap! I inherited a legacy that I plan on taking to new heights, and someone as ‘minor’ as yourself won’t be able to stop me. I understand you may feel a bit intimidated by my narrative, so I get the need to overcompensate. You’re not the first person to feel a certain way about my presence, and you won’t be the last.”
(Serenity grins)
“I love my fans. Those who feel so triggered by my identity, they can’t help but talk about it; where I come from, who my daddy is. You can see the hate seeping from the pores of their skin. They want my legacy, but don’t know how to earn one for themselves. So here we are, where we have some minor Bronx chick who think I’m scared of her bad make-up and her deflated aggression. Okay dear, how about you fix that eyeliner before you come for me. I’m not trying to sound superficial, but you seem to have a lot of bass in that voice for someone who thinks of herself in such a ‘minor’ way. I’m sure you’ve heard these puns before, but I couldn’t help myself. You think you have what it takes to change the world, but all I see is a girl who likes the idea of being a champ, but doesn’t know what that means. It’s okay, I’ll help you figure it out.”
(Serenity leans forward before turning off the camera)
“I’ve dealt with these threats before. They’re just minor ones, nothing to worry about.”
