::The scene opens at CCWAandICE, the wrestling academy opened by
Nathan Gust. We see the front door of the facility open, and RWA
superstar, Kamikaze step in. He looks around the fairly good
sized room filled with two square rings, one hexgonal ring, and
weight lifting equipment. The first thing he notices is the
difference in atmosphere between this wrestling academy, and the
academy he was trained at in Japan. This place has a more social
feel too it. Kinda more like a place for the young people attending
to hang out, rather then be taught. In his dojo in Japan, Kami
remembers spending weeks working, and working, and working, before
even once getting a chance to step into any kind of ring. And when
he finally did, he was treated just a little bit higher then a
punching bag for his opponent. Having a 'good time' wasn't part
of the equation, but he notices smiles on these young people's faces,
as they engage in conversation while they work. Kami just walks
through, back towards the meeting office in the back where he was
told to go so he could meet with one of his partners for Reloaded.
He knocks, not wanting to be rude, and is greeted by a voice with
a thick Japanese accent::
Kotomi - Come in.
::Kamikaze opens the door, and sees Kotomi sitting at the table
in the center of the room. Kotomi immediately gets up, and bows
to him.::
Kotomi - Kamikaze-san, thank you for coming. I'm sorry my cousin
isn't in the room right now, she's in Gust-san's office right now,
and assured me she would be returning here to meet with you soon.
::Kamikaze bows in return, not forgetting his Japanese manners and
customs even though he was now in America.::
Kamikaze - That's all right... Thank you for being here as well.
I have to apologize for how we first met the other week. I was still
following the gimmick that the industry had given me then and I was
merely only acting crazy... I still should not have yelled at you
however, it was a horrible way to make a first impression.
Kotomi - Do not worry about it. I understand that wrestlers can
only too well be forced into doing things that they do not wish to
do.
::Kamikaze smiles and gestures for Kotomi to sit down as he does
himself.::
Kamikaze - I'm glad you understand Kotomi. I must say though that
I would really rather like a chance to give you a better impression
of myself. Perhaps I could treat you to dinner sometime?
::Kotomi looks slightly taken back by this seemingly sudden invitation
when the door to the meeting room opens.::
Sara - Sorry Kotomi, Nate's been a real pain in the...oh, I'm sorry
Kami, I didn't realize you had arrived.
::Sara says obviously embarrassed by the fact that she wasn't
there to greet him when he arrived.::
Kamikaze - It's all right. I understand how training can be
annoying at times. To have your uncle in charge must be a real
struggle.
Sara - Eh, it's mostly bullshit. He tries to be all zen-like and
give me deep advice, but it always comes out wrong and he looks
like a doofus....ANYWAY....so, I guess we should, start talking
about our match on Tuesday?
Kamikaze - I guess we can do that now.
::Kamikaze looks at Kotomi and gives her a small smile before
turning back to Sara.::
Kamikaze - I must say I very much enjoyed our past matches and
am looking forward to this coming one.
::Sara sits down next to her cousin.::
Sara - Yea, I am too. I'm hoping maybe I can get my T.V. Title
back if this works out right. I don't think I can deal with the
whole "getting attacked out of nowhere" thing with the Hardcore
Title.
::Kamikaze smirks.::
Kamikaze - If you want I could pin you and you wouldn't have to
worry about it anymore.
::Sara just chuckles::
Sara - I didn't say I wanted to get rid of it. Besides, I need
it as collateral for a deal I've got coming up. So if you want
it, it'll be alittle harder then that to take.
Kamikaze - That's all right. I think I'll be more than happy with
my United Title.
Sara - Anyway, back to the matter at hand.
::Kamikaze gives Kotomi a knowing look.::
Kamikaze - Americans... always straight to business. All right...
well seeing as how all of our opponents are in Superiority Complex.
I figured it would be a good idea for us to have a game plan going
into this match.
Sara - Well I agree with that. So whatcha thinking?
Kamikaze - Well everyone in this match has already faced each
other. So that means they know what we're bringing to the table.
Well they thought they knew. I'm using all the moves I know not
just the ones I've been using so they're not going to expect half
the things I do. Havoc has already beaten Tony and having faced
Havoc in the ring I can tell you he will be more than a challenge
for them. All though I still plan on meeting him later and seeing
what I can do with him. But as the rookie on our team I figured
they may see you as a weak link and try to take you out. So I wanted
to know what your plans were and maybe if we could modify them
somehow so that you can count on Havoc and myself a bit more.
Sara - .....I don't know...to be honest I've never planned anything
in match before...ever. I just sorta make it up in the ring as I go
along.
Kamikaze - Hmm... a plan isn't so much a first I'm going to do this.
Then I'm going to do that. If you plan that thoroughly you won't
be able to complete what you're setting out to do. But. If you
plan to focus on one enemy. One body part... then you have a good
plan that leaves itself open to adaption.
Sara - Oh, well. I guess then...my plan is too....uh...not...get...
pinned?
::Kamikaze chuckles::
Kamikaze - Good plan... Ok how about this... instead of coming up
with a plan spend the rest of your time between now and then
learning a new move. Something that you can hit them with when
they think they're still safe?
Sara - I guess I could try, but theres not much I can do though
other then the stuff I've been doing already. I'm kinda limited
by my size when it comes to that.
Kamikaze - Hmmm... Then learn and use the Deja Vu. That should be
a good move for you.
Sara - I guess that'd work. I'll have something new for you by Tuesday.
Kamikaze - Don't do it for me. Do it for yourself and for the
fans. The fans always love to see a new move. And by bringing one
to the table you can catch your opponents off guard. They don't
know how to deal with it. I'm just trying to help.
Sara - I know, I understand.
::Kamikaze nods::
Kamikaze - Ok... well thank you for meeting me. I hope that on
Reloaded we can teach those arrogant bastards a lesson... Kotomi.
Please think about my offer.
::Kamikaze stands up from the table and bows to the two ladies
before turning and walking out the door leaving CCWAandICE.::
Sara - What offer is he talking about?
::Kotomi's face turns a deep shade of red and she just stares at
the table as the scene fades to black.::
----------
... Mmmm it smells good. To be openly not crazy I mean. I admit I
was a little bit worried how well this was going to turn out. But
all the fan mail and emails and a couple phone calls, which was
creepy please don't call me again, showed me that I'm doing the
right thing. Hell Shawn I got a couple of letters from now former
fans of yours. The message was the same each time, "Shawn Walsh
was my favorite... But now you just seem cooler than him." I don't
know man. I'm not saying "I'm stealing your fans! HAHA!" I'm just
saying that ever since I got out from underneath the industry's
thumb everything seems to be going my way.
When I'm walking down the street people don't cross to the other
side and stay away from me anymore. They actually walk up to me,
thank me, and shake my hand. I don't know why they're thanking
me. I guess it's cause I had the balls to step forward. If you don't
understand what I mean let me explain it to you. You can count
the number of faces in RWA on probably one hand. Off the top of my
head I can say Sara Pettis, Cody Carson, Amy Jo Smyth, and myself.
However, Cody and Amy Jo don't really act like faces so they're off
the list. That leaves Sara and myself and until last Reloaded neither
one of us were faces for the people. We were just faces cause we
weren't assholes and didn't spit in the fans' collective faces.
But NOW, now the fans have someone to fall behind. I am actively
a face against the assholes that have claimed control over this
company. I'm a face that doesn't take shit from the heels and
cocky sons of bitches that do what they want. I'm a champion of the
people, an icon for them, a symbol of good. I know that's laying
it on a bit thick... but hey at this point it looks true to me.
Now I've talked with Sara and I saw what she has to say about the
TV title. She's a right about bringing it out of obscurity, she is
the best thing to happen to that title since it was introduced to
the company. Now she wants that title back really badly. I'm not
going to stand in her way. I'd be happy if she got it back. So come
the match I will have no problem with her getting the pin. I'm not
looking to win a title in this match. I have one. I'm not going to
get back into the Devil's Dance with this match. So other than
winning... what's in it for me? Well let's see all of my opponents
are heels... that all work for Foley... Meh good enough reason for
me to make sure you all leave that match hurting in my eyes.
Shawn... Yes you beat me. Yes it pisses me off. But somehow... the
fact that you're scared of me makes it all ok. Now I'm sure you're
already wondering "what's he talking about?" Let me paint the picture
for you. It's last Reloaded, I just beat up your boss, you came out
to try and stop me... But knowing that I couldn't handle all of you
I took off into the crowd. But there you stop. You see I was smart
enough to know that I couldn't take on 4 people at once. But you
and Tony could have kept chasing after me. In a 2 on 1 situation
I would have stopped running and fought back. But you didn't like
the odds of 2 on 1. You wanted more people at your back. Why? Because
you're scared of me. Why are you scared of me you may ask? Because
you sense your time is almost over... Because you sense that people
like Sara said... don't worship you anymore and you don't know what
to do now that you can't count on having people to lay down in puddles
for you so you can cross the street without getting your feet wet.
And the reason why you dislike Sara and myself so much is because
we openly defy you. We loathe your continued existence in the wrestling
world because you're already old news and hanging on to what little
scraps of dignity you have left. You hate and fear Sara and myself
because we're showing you what the whole world is doing to you. They're
slowly turning away... How many people were at your last autograph
session Walsh? Was it the same number as it was 2 years ago? Hell
a year ago? I doubt it. Why? Because the world is moving on. You
say Sara's a fad... I say maybe, that's up to her to disprove...
But who says you're not a fad yourself?
Tony. You're in the same boat as Shawn is. Except you're even more
of a weak coward than he is. What gives me the balls to say that?
The fact that just like him you didn't keep chasing after me when
I attacked Foley. You also didn't like the odds of 2 on 1. Better
keep it at 3 on 1 or better. But just like Walsh you stayed in the
ring and was content to just yell at him rather than try and make
me pay for what I had done to your boss. But you stayed behind like
Walsh. But what makes you even weaker than him is the fact that
while Walsh is a coward... At least he beat me in our match. You
didn't win your match. You lost to Havoc. And what makes you more
of a coward than him is that.. what was the last match you were
in? I mean... You lost to Havoc and then you haven't really done
any wrestling... or anything... You haven't even defended your title
once since getting it... That's what makes you a coward. You're
even afraid to get into the ring anymore. It's pathetic really. But
don't worry. I'll give you a reason to stay out of the ring after
Reloaded... after I break a leg or an arm... maybe a collarbone.
Lucretia. Here's a situation I never thought we'd be in. But hey
who knows what's going to happen down the line right? You were
once my former fiance's maid of honor... now just like her you've
rebuked your husband and are fighting against him. Well... my ex
didn't really fight against me but if she wasn't busy off being a
slut with what's his name I'm sure she would have found a way to
stick it to me. Can we expect everyone on that side of the wedding
to just turn against us? Us being everyone that will be betrayed.
I don't really know what to say Lucretia... Of course... with how
you and Nirvana act I'm not surprised by this sudden yet inevitable
betrayal. But that's your family business. So I'll keep my nose out
of it. Just know that come Reloaded I may... may not but may get
carried away and maybe get caught up in beating you for my tag partner's
sake. Of course... beating the crap out of woman wouldn't be a very
good guy thing to do... plus I know Nirv... he'd want to do it himself...
Ok fine. I won't get carried away with you. But I won't cry if an
accident happens.
See you all in the ring on Tuesday... Here's to a good match that
will entertain the fans. HAHA! Don't expect me to ever say that
again. If they get entertained it's a bonus. I'm in this to win it
now. And you're all in the way of me winning it. See you all in
the ring.
