>>19386511Carmody Jefferson is walking backstage with Priscilla, jubilant and triumphant. She has defeated Kanako Leichenburg and Lightning Nika and earned a measure of vindication, capped off with a crushing burial of her hated rival Nika, while leaving her (former?) friend Kanako with no more than wounded pride, as was always her hope. She feels good, standing triumphant by the side of Priscilla Divine as they go backstage together. The future is bright, and full of possibilities!
But she hears a faint sound, and out of the corner of her eye there is a blur of motion from somewhere. She doesn't know who or what and can't guess the identity of the figure dropping down on them, but instinctively she dives at her friend Priscilla Divine and shoves her out of the way, taking the brunt of the impact and going down hard on the steel ramp beneath the force of the unknown hooded assailant's risky maneuver.
