(Fade In: An arena somewhere in Japan, where we see none other than the "Messiah" Zell Hunter stuck as apart of the joint IWA/eNWA tour of Asia. Zell is sitting down on a plain wooden bench in the locker room set aside for the Hellfire Express tag team, he halves of the IWA World ang Television Tag Team titles lay on the bench next to him as a song plays somewhere in the room with him. It's low enough only he can hear it.)
<Song>:
Please come now I think I’m falling
I’m holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I’m trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I’m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
(Zell doesn't move for a few minutes until there is a knock on the doorway and the "Taskmaster" Eddie Maim enters the room with the rest of the Flock Inc. stable in tow. Maim notices his partner's mood and ushers the rest of the gang out of the room and closes the door behind him before moving to sit next to his partner on the bench)
Maim: What's up Kev?
Zell: Woe me, I think I have women problems Ed.
<Song>:
Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain’t so far down
Maim: So, what's wrong? Ever since we started on this tour of Asia with the twin federations, you've been moping and brooding about something and you've already lost the XPW title and now we've got a match to decide who has the right to hold the IWA Joint Tag Team titles. What gives?
Zell: You wouldn't...
Maim: Don't say that #####, kid! I'm the one who's married here remember?
(Zell looks up at his best friend and partner in crime with a smirk)
Zell: Sorry, forgot myself for a moment. This whole thing with Twin Phoenix is getting to me and in both a good and bad way. On one hand, I'm trying to prove myself to Trynyty that I can be a good choice while on the other prove to Yeh Shen Li that I'm not out for the nookie. GRRR!!!
Maim: It's not that hard to figure out you know? I mean the answer is right in front of you, Kevin.
Zell: Alright, Smart #####! Explain it to me, enlighten the Freak!
<Song>:
I’m looking down now that it’s over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I’m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Maim: Alright, Trynyty and Yeh Shen grew up together right? They're best friends and Yeh Shen has only the best interests of her friend in mind. But the problem is that the two of them are radically different. Yeh Shen is traditional minded woman while Trynyty is more modern, so something there is going to have to give. I mean Trynyty kissed you didn't she?
(Zell absently rubs the part of his jaw that the woman in question punched while half glaring at his partner)
Maim: Sorry forgot about strange that one can be. At any rate, Trynyty is right-you can't go proving yourself to her by helping her win matches Kevin. You're going to have to prove yourself to her in a different way.
Zell: Oh really how?
Maim: Don't know, I haven't talked to the woman true?
<Song>:
Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain’t so far down
(Maim stands up and looks at his watch)
Maim: Well, it's almost go time my friend. Did anything I say help?
Zell: *sigh* Yeah it did, but I still got questions...
Maim: Ones that can be answered when you get back to the states and see her in person true?
(Zell nods as he starts to pull on his wrestling boots while Maim picks up both of the tag team titles)
Maim: Besides, at least you can think of it this way.
Zell: Think what which way?
(Zell stands up and Maim hands him both of the Tag titles with a smirk)
Maim: At least you're not falling for her true? I mean you've pretty much kept your head during all of this and at least Yeh Shen doesn't want anything from you other than not to hurt her best friend.
Zell: *blink* what do you mean by falling for her?
Maim: You know, at least you don't have feelings for her past that of what you should have for wanting to ask her out man, you know-that one that starts with an L for pete's sake! Now come on, there is a team out there that want our belts!
Zell: Alright, I'm with you...but go on to the entrance way. I've got to grab my other belt alright?
(Maim nods as he leaves the room, leaving a worried Zell behind as the last lyrics of the song floats through the air)
<Song>:
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there’s something left for me
So please come stay with me
‘Cause I still believe there’s something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
Zell: It's too late *not* to have those feelings...But I'll deal with them later, right now I've got a job to do...
(Zell reaches into a locker stall and pulls out the ECWA championship and slings it over his right shoulder while holding both of the tag belts in his right hand as the leaves the room and we fade out.)
<Song>:
