Kat Jones had not been in the best of moods as it was but after the last EXP she had been in an even worse mood. What Kat was still pissed off over was the way the match ended.. A DQ.. She should have known.. She should have known that a Game changer would pull such a stunt. But somehow it pissed her off even more that EA would do that.. Out of all of the Game changers he did not seem the type to stoop so low.. But he did.. And in doing so cost Kat the title.. And it looked like the contendership as well.. One she had earned and robbed from her in one single slamming motion with the briefcase.. Now if that was not bad enough she happened to catch sight of the ending of the show while she was being checked over by the medical team.. She hates Larry Tact with a passion and with very good reason to do so.. And to see Mac Bane teaming with them.. That truly only angered her even more so.. And then the memo came..
CHEAT CODE LADDER MATCH:
Whoever retrieves the Game Genie from the top of the ladder wins Can get a shot at any title, any time
'Superstar' Peter Vaughn vs. Donny Mason vs. Ziggy Morgan vs. Guy Manson vs. Emily Simms vs. Victoria Salinas vs. Samantha Voxx vs. Kat Jones vs. Chelsea Skye
Kat never liked doing ladder matches.. She did not like them and they cost her too much in the past.. It does not fit her at all.. She is a more technical wrestler.. She prefers to grapple and twist and turn bodies into pretzels.. Very pain filled human pretzels.. Multiplayer matches in general are another thing she is not too keen on.. Her foul mood was noticed quickly by her man and when she showed him the memo he understood why she was in such a foul mood. Having seen the action on EXP he understood better than perhaps anyone just why Kat wanted to get her hands on now every single one of the Game Changers and rip them apart.. She would get her hands on EA again.. And this time take him down before he can cheat to keep that title still.. This was an opportunity to do it but she does truly hate this type of match.. She always had.. And with good reason.. It cost her and him both a lot..
It was early morning still in the Colorado mountains when Kat was standing in the kitchen drinking coffee.. She had already finished off the second pot of coffee with Chris and he saw the strained face.. He knew she was still angry and she had every right to be but enough was enough..
Chris : Babe..
Kat looked at him and frowned at the tone of his voice..
Chris : Time to prepare for this match and let them feel just how angry you are..
Kat : That is the worst part.. I am not angry with anyone in this match.. I am a firm believer of channeling the anger where it belongs and it does not belong to anyone in this match..
Chris : You and the girls have a speed advantage over some.. And you have the experience advantage over others.. Use it..
Kat : Right.. I know you are right.. But the only thing I want to do right now is take out the Game Changers..
Chris : What better way to get to the game changers than to win this match and use it to take that title away from EA…
Kat smirked towards Chris seeing a game plan forming in the sparkle in his eyes..
Chris : I was thinking.. How about…
Now I know you did not expect me to lay the plans out for the world to see.. Nah.. Not quite yet..
By mid morning both Kat and Chris were drenched in sweat as they and the trainers of the HellsGates had been training with a ladder set up in the middle of the ring and the goal for Kat was to keep every single one of them from climbing to the top and for her to make it up the ladder before anyone of them could stop her.. Kat hates ladder matches.. She had never been a fan of them.. She is not scared of heights but she knew the dangers all too well and a ladder match had taken years of her career before.. And she was not looking forward to it this time around.. With the sheer mass of fighters in the ring she was facing odds not that much different than that near fatal last time she was in a ladder match.. It was evident in training that the fear was real but also fading slowly as she was taking more risks and after 2 grueling hours she was at the top of the ladder just in time to escape the clutches of Kim.. Who smiled up tiredly towards Kat..
Kim : You are not going to get anymore ready Kat.. I think you have well and truly overcome the hesitations..
Kat nodded and made her way down the ladder and Chris held her tight as she still trembled a little.. Was it fear or the adrenaline rush.. She had no clue.. But it was both there..
Chris : I know you can do this but if you feel like it is too dangerous or getting too dangerous.. There is no shame in having to step back and live to fight another day Kat… This type of match cost me having you in my life once before.. And I do not want to see it happen again..
Kat : Never again babe.. Not like that…
Chris held her close as the others made their way out of the ring..
Kat : I was stupid to go then.. I may never forgive myself for that.. I promise.. If this match gets too close to hurting me again I will back away.. Never again..
The couple made their way out of the ring where Whisper stood waiting on Kat and she also placed her hands on Kat’s shoulders while Chris still had his arm wrapped tightly around her waist..
Whisper : Chris is right.. Back away when you need to..
Kat : I will.. I have no desire to die in the ring at Doom..
Whisper nodded and Kat and Chris made their way out of the HellsGates together..

Kat is sitting at what appears to be the kitchen table of her mountain home. She is holding a mug filled with steaming hot coffee.. Her voice is soft and her eyes dark and serious.. A very different woman than Level Up has seen before..
Kat : When I faced EA for the title.. I did not expect him to use his briefcase and smash my contendership match with a cheap ending.. And here I am again in a contendership match.. I am going to be real honest with every single one of you.. I do not want to be in this match.. I am for sure not going to be motivated to win this match.. I hate ladder matches and I have reason to do so.. I am not a fan of multiplayer matches of any kind but that is nothing I can not handle.. No.. It is the cost those matches take from you.. It is not a question if those matches will take something from you.. They will.. Just how much is the question you should ask yourself.. I am going out there.. And I am going to try for sure.. Anyone that says they would not try is a goddamn liar.. But I know probably better than anyone in this match what this can cost you..
It is no laughing matter and you do not see me smiling do you.. I have been in matches like this before.. I was reckless and young like most of the entrants in this match and I may be one of the oldest stepping into the ring in this match at Doom.. I did the stupid stunts.. I gave it all I had so many times.. I have had my back smashed into ladders and I crashed down from the ladder to the mat so many times.. Lord was I stupid.. I have come away scared and bruised like most of these violent matches will do to you.. But the last time I was in a multiplayer ladder match.. It cost me more than anyone should be willing to give..
Kat lifted her chin and let the light fall on the scar she has on her neck..
Kat : The last time I was in a ladder match like we are preparing to enter on Doom I ended up on the shelf for 9 months and I had to fight, scratch and claw my way up to get cleared to compete again.. And while I know I am wrestling on borrowed time and have been doing so for the past few years.. I am not going to let this match end me.. If I have to walk out of the match to quite literally save my neck I will do so.. I would rather drop down to the bottom of the federation and fight my way back to the title scene then end up being carted out of the PPV destroying my career and maybe even my life for a chance to fight for any title.. I know the odds and they are not good..
This is not some boohoo story you can put away the kleenex as I am not going to give anyone the sob story.. Nah.. Not my thing.. I just know when I am reaching a limit I am not willing to cross again.. Some people are amazing in Ladder Matches and some are not.. I know that I am not good at it.. I am quick enough.. I am not scared of the heights but when you have crashed and burned.. Burned badly at that.. You become a bit more careful when it comes to saving yourself from the dangers that come with this type of match.. Will that mean that I am not going to be there.. Hell no.. But I will make sure that I am going to be walking out of the arena.. I have much more I want to accomplish before I give in and hang up the boots for good.. And this match is not it..
Kat took a sip of the coffee and her obvious hesitation for this match was clear for the world to see..
Kat : If that makes me a loser.. Then I prefer to be a loser.. I would rather fight again then lose the ability to do so forever.. You can only crash and burn so many times before it takes out your career or even takes your life.. And as much as I love LevelUp.. As much as I want to use the opportunity it gives us to take another crack at EA.. It is not worth that much.. It is not worth losing my health over.. It is not worth my life.. As much as you may believe it to be.. Most of these names in the match are young.. Reckless.. And perhaps even more so dangerous competitors as they have no idea just how much it will take from them.. The first time you enter such a match it may take a few days.. But when you have been defying the odds as much as I have done over the years.. The cost is higher..
So think about it guys and girls.. Is it worth it to you.. If it is.. Good luck to you.. You are going to need it in the days and weeks that follow it.. I have had my share of the aches and pains that comes with this type of match and I am not going to regret not taking the risks again..
With that said the scene fades to black..
~Off Camera~
Chris had turned the camera off and he smiled towards Kat..
Kat : It is not worth it babe.. Not again..
Chris leaned in and kissed her softly.. Her words meant more to him than he could say. Kat closed her eyes and returned the kiss.. It was not worth it and she felt it with all her heart.. No title shot was worth her health ever again..
Kat : I meant it babe.. It is not worth it.. I will fight my way to the top again in another way.. I have done it before.. I will do it again.. My will to fight is not gone.. But my will to risk my life for a title has.. It is not worth it.. I am not a victim to gold fever..
She got up and stepped into his arms and let herself just be held..
