Jean: "Hello there sir. How may I help you?"
Nathan: "I'm here to talk to somebody about the ULW in general. I got word that Annihilation had been axed, and that almost half the roster had been dropped. I would like to know where exactly I stand on this"
Jean: "Mr Creed correct?"
(Nathan nods)
Jean: "Well Sheryl gave me a list of any superstars still on the roster. I can check that for you"
Nathan: "Fine, but please hurry up"
(Jean disappears under the desk for a second and reapears with a pice of paper.On it has several names including the likes of Daemon Frost, Hellkat, Orlando Cruze and Psycho. Nathan scans the paper and spots his name. He lets out asigh of relief. He looks it over again and notices something)
Nathan: "I don't see Hunter's name? Has he been released?"
Jean: "As far as I know he has a final shot at remaining. He is to take part in a triple threat match for the twenty fifth spot in the roster"
Nathan: "Damn! I was looking forward to kicking his arse. Thanks anyway Jean"
Jean: "No problem"
(Nathan exits the building and bumbs straight into Nick Phalon. Nick is wearing a ULW t-shirt and blue jeans. He is also wearing a black ULW baseball cap. Nick looks up at him)
Nick: "Woah. Nathan? What are you doing here?"
(Nathan looks dwon at Nick, and raises an eyebrow)
Nathan: "And I could ask you the same thing. I came here after I haerd about the axing. What are you here for?"
Nick: "New jobs. They need me to get some stories for the PPV. Say are you busy?"
Nathan: "No I ain't Nick. So before you say anything just meet me at the pub down the road in twenty minutes"
(Nick nods and heads iside as Nathan walks off down the road towards the aforementioned pub, The Raging Dragon, as the scene closes)
********************
(The scene opens back up twenty minutes later inside the Raging Dragon. Nathan sits at the bar, an empty pint glass in front of him. The bartender sets down a pint of Fosters in front of him. Then in through the door walks Nick, a satchel bag hanging to his left. He walks over to Nathan and sits on a bar stool next to him)
Nathan: "So what you drinking?"
Nick: "Erm...gimme a bud"
(The bartender cracks open a bottle of budweiser and hands it to Nick. Nathan gives the bertender a �5 note)
Nathan: "Keep the change mate"
Nick: "So Nathan you heard about the battle royal?"
Nathan: "Erm...yeah. I mean I am in it"
Nick: "No, I mean the fact that the winner not only becomes World Champ but also gets to face Hellkat for the unification match"
Nathan: "Really? Damn, well I guess this is one important match then. Not as if it wasn't important enough already"
Nick: "Yeah, and already Celestra, Orlando, Magnum and Bullseye have spoken out about it"
Nathan: "Yeah Inoticed. I don't believe Magnum. He bring up a single match almost a month ago and how he beat me. He held me down while Riddick pinned Dante. Wasn't nothing to do with me anywho. So if Magnum thinks that he can take me out of this thing one on one then he has another thing coming. I ain't the same person he faced in UCWF. Derek Steel changed all that, and now I have gotten a lot better. I hope he realises that I ain't gonna be no pushover"
Nick: "Yeah but Magnum has alsways been like that, and he usually backs up his words"
Nathan: "Yeah well there is always the possibility that I throw him over the top rope on my way to the top. Orlando knows that I will back him up in this match, but when the time is right, we will go toe to toe for the right to be called World Champion, and I know neither of us would expect any less. As for Bullseye and Celestra, well they both have the chance to win it,and to be honest they both could. Won't stop me from winning the match mind you"
Nick: "What about the rest of the guys in it? The likes of Synclaire, Phantom, Killjoy, Lomond and Hunter. What about their effect on the battle royal?"
Nathan: "Well I know for a fcat that Killjoy will havea profound effect on it. He always does. He will be the one I am looking out for, not to put down any of the others. Killjoy has this effect on people. Somehow he can intimidate you without needing to say a word, and in a battle royale that is a definate plus. As for Lomond, well he has the power to go far, if not win the damn thing. However, I think he lacks the focus at the moment, but i'm sure he will prove me wrong. Phantom is the wild card. He could pull it out of the bag and get far, or he could fall first and just look ridiculous. I tagged with this guy, and something didn't sit right with him. He wasn't all their in that match, and that could well be his downfall yet again in the battle royale"
(Nathan takes a sip of his beer as Nick drinks some of his)
Nathan: "As for Synclaire, well he has his european Title shot, which should be enough for him, but no. He is gunning for the World Title as well.and to be honest that is greed in its purest form. So I wish Synclaire the best of luck. Simply because when he has to face me he is gonna need it. He may have beaten me once before but he won't beat me again"
Nick: "And Hunter? I know how much you don't like him. What about his chances in the battle royale?"
Nathan: "After I get through with him? None. I will personally throw him over the top rope and ruin his chances at the World Title. He is scum and I will be the one to put him out of his misery. I mean No Offence but this will be his Courtesy Call, and his chance to remember the name Nathan Creed"
(Nathan picks up his drink and starts sipping on the beer as Nick drinks his budweiser. The two slip into idle chit chat as the scene starts to fade)
