We start our story with an epic
battle between El Terrible’ and Tia’s father. Tia’s father appears to be
winning the match, until El Terrible’ reviles that he is going to kidnap Tia
and her mother. Tia’s Father tries to warn his family watching at home through
the cameras. Tia’s mother gets the message and tries to escape the house only
to see El Terrible’s goons arriving outside the house. With no other option Tia’s
mother hides Tia behind a book case and tells her not to come out no matter
what. The goons break in the front door and take Tia’s mother. Back in the ring
Tia’s father takes devastating blows from El Terrible, as he refuses to fight
back, trying to plead with him to leave his family alone. El Terrible’ gives
him the option of giving up and removing his mask and he won’t harm the family.
Tia’s Father agrees and removes his mask in the ring, conceding the fight and
taking the dishonor. While El Terrible’ gloats around the ring, Tia’s Father
slips out and runs home. Once he gets back to his house he finds it in
shambles, he thinks all is lost when he hears Tia from behind the book case. He
takes Tia to his Parent’s farm house and asked them to look after her and keep
her safe, as he’s going back to try and save Tia’s mother. He never returns.
Tia grows up on the farm outside
the city with her grandparents. Everyday Tia works on the farm growing strong.
Her Grandfather recognizes her natural ability to fight and trains her how to
fight like he did with her father. Tia grows up to fast, strong and able to
fight. Every night she can see the lights of the city from far away and wonders
if her father is still there and why he never returned with her mother. One day
while working on the farm with her grandfather, she asks why her father abandoned
her. Tia’s Grandfather says that’s not what happened, and she should never
think like that. Because Tia thinks that’s what happened, her grandfather
decides to tell her what happened to her father and mother, and who El Terrible’
is, and what he did to her family. He shows Tia posters and pictures of her
father as a great masked wrestler and even shows her, her father’s first mask. Because
of this Tia wants to go to the city and find out what happened to her farther.
Her grandfather says that the city has changed and that it wasn’t the place it
used to be, after El Terrible defeated her father that night, his fame grew,
and that he ultimately runs the whole city now, making it a dark place filled
with crime and bad people, and he forbids her to go to the city.
That night Tia backs her bag, with
her father’s mask and heads for the city. She takes a bus and falls asleep on
the bus ride were she has dream of what it would be like to have her father and
mother in her life. When she wakes the bus is stopped and people are getting
off. She looks around and sees her bag is missing. She franticly looks around
to see a small boy off the bus with it heading towards the exit of the bus
station. She pushes her way off the bus and runs after the boy. Once outside
the station she is almost overwhelmed by the city, people, lights, buildings
noise, it is all almost too much. She remembers the boy and begins to look
around, she lost him to the crowd.
She begins to wonder the city not
knowing where she is or where she is going and comes across a skinny man being
mugged by 3 masked wrestler thugs. She tells them to leave him alone, which
switched their attention to her. She fights them off with ease and they runway.
She then asks the man if he’s alright. The man introduces himself as Skinny and
thanks her for saving him, and asks her why she helped him. She says simply
because he looked like he needed help. Puzzled but pleased he asks her what she’s
doing in the city because he can tell she’s not from the city based off of her
dress and willingness to help a complete stranger. He offers to buy her a meal
for saving him. She declines at first saying she really must be going but then
her stomach growls and she remembers all her food and money was in her bag
which was stolen.
Tia
accompanies Skinny to a nearby restaurant/ bar (only type of restaurants in
city), there Tia learns that Skinny is not a fighter but a builder and fixer
and that doesn’t mean much to anybody else in the city. Tia thinks that that is
an admirable quality. During the meal Tia recognizes the boy who stole her bag
in the bar. The boy gives the bag to a big masked wrestler at the other end of
the bar, she get up to go reclaim it. Skinny tries to stop her but Tia ignores
him. She approaches the man and tells him that that’s her bag and she wants it
back. The man just laughs and continues to drink. Tia reaches for the bag and
the man grabs her arm, Tia just smiles and grabs his arm and flips him across
the bar into the wall. Tia picks up her bag and walks back to the table. Skinny
explains that that is a member of a local wrestle gang and he won’t be happy
about that. Tia says she can handle herself.
It's not all up yet, still typing most of it, as well as working out some story issues that I keep running into. I have about 7 pages in my note book, just been having a lot of computer problems this weekend. I used some of the Ideas from Jades story as well as rewriting pretty much all of the original story. I decided to put a main focus on Tia, and how its her journey to reclaim her family as well as finding her place in the world. And yes there will be no more rat people.
ReplyDeleteWe can still use all the characters we already have, they will stay, I feel we will be able to use a lot of the different wrestlers more efficiently with the new style of story as well.
