A throng of people is standing around a tall leather-clad woman with the GX National Championship draped over her shoulder. Monica makes her way through the fans to the champion.
Monica: Is this a bad time to ask you a couple of questions, Immacolata?
Immacolata: Now is the perfect time. I was ambushed by these fans, but they are pleasant enough company.
Monica: You just won back the National Championship one week ago, but Thoren Black looks like he took you to the limit. How do you feel about your performance?
The champion ponders her answer a moment.
Immacolata: Not great. Thoren threw me around a lot and I could not get any offense going. He had me in a bad way and I only managed to land a few moves, including the only move that counted. What matters is that he dished out all of the punishment he could muster, but he could not put me away.
The fans gathered around her cheer that statement.
Immacolata: On the other hand, he couldn't take my spell, my one big move. It was a very long road to win back a title I had not really lost. It took me to some strange places. But, in the end, I got there, and Thoren is behind me.
Like good followers, her people boo his name.
Monica: What do you think of your new challenger's chances?
Immacolata: Tony Snow?
More boos follow.
Immacolata: I don't like his chances. I like his renewed focus, but we have met inside that ring, and he can't keep up with me. Still, I won't let that cloud my judgment; I expect him to up his game and to attempt to surprise me.
She smiles at the thought.
Immacolata: I wish him luck.
Monica: About the Obsession Challenge...
Immacolata: I was a terrible mentor, I know.
Her fans try to tell her otherwise and the name "Undertaker" can be heard spoken angrily a few times.
Immacolata: Yes, I was a terrible mentor, but I had an ever worse trainee. He had no place at all not only in the competition, but even within these walls. He obviously was not a student of the game. He was, in some fashion, bound to me, and by sucking so much...
A few people laugh at that, others cheer.
Immacolata: He brought shame to my name, so I took care of him, just like I took care of Thoren Black and just like I will take care of Tony Snow. And, with Battlefield of Honor coming up, I have my sights set on another belt.
This announcement raises the biggest cheers yet from the small crowd.
Immacolata: I know everything about my father; I know I can beat him. All I have to do is to throw everyone else out of that ring. But first, I have to go through Gorbus.
Monica: How do you prepare for a match against an opponent such as Gorbus?
Immacolata: Gorbus is an enormously strong wrestler, so all that matters is how soon I can hit him with my spell.
She makes the claw with her hand and is surprised to see a few imitators in the crowd.
Immacolata: Now, I have to get ready for it.
A few people clap her on the shoulders and the title belt as she walks away.
