“Oh, you don’t have to worry, or for that matter, fear me, Fall guy…”

 

Back in Club Syn, Chamelion has moved himself to what he thinks is the most quiet part of the club, the music still blares in the background, but at least here he can think a little more clearly.  Rolling his eyes a bit at the atmosphere, he turns his attention back to the topic at hand.

 

“You see, while you have more pressing issues to deal with, I have much larger fish to fry… Mmm, I love that cliché… you see, there are people here in the HiC who are more dangerous, more powerful and much more entertaining then your rehashed clump of words… and I do mean rehashed… you should have just saved everyone’s time and combined Bronx and myself into one breath… I mean, the words were similar, the idea the same.. “once great man, now big nothing’… I mean, come on.. a little variety would be nice there, kiddo.   Now this comment of course made to me about saving my breath is just you hoping you can get your ‘licks’ in and not have me come back atcha… I mean, who’s the one opening old wounds?  Me, uh uh… and I think I’m well aware that I’m not the HiC World Champion… but then, the company I’d be keeping is almost an insult.. for I’ve not seen one worthy champion wearing that crown since day one of the HiC, and only just recently did Deathsun change my opinion slightly on that one…….Now, the Tempest Title on the other hand……down the road….. will be a trophy worth earning.”

 

Turning his attention to the club, Chamelion eyes Platinum at the bar, and a grin breaks out.

 

“He’s worried, you know?  He doesn’t show it, he would deny it.. but Platinum questions if he’s really worthy of that title belt… I suppose he is, I mean, he did set up The Corpse so I could knock him down… they do give kudos to assists in basketball, so why not here?  But he doesn’t have to worry about me… not for now anyway, I support my allies.. even if I don’t much like them.  I mean, here I am in the middle of the lion’s den…flirting with the very Pride… and not one bit worried…they have goals, you see, Aura…I can call you Aura, can’t I??  I like that name… seem to recall defeating him for the PWA World title, ya know?  Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked…they have goals that they actually are trying to carry out… the targeted Duncan, and partially succeeded… Woondang prevented Showtime from capturing gold.. I stopped XTC…and Platinum won the Twister title… Even Lisa did her part… “

 

Rotating his shoulder, Chamelion stretches and puts his fingers together and cracks the knuckles. 

 

“But we do seem to have a common splinter by the name of Bronx Williams…a man that I’ve challenged and he has accepted…but it seems the HiC has bigger things in store for the most Devious S-O-B in the business today, and that would be the one and only… NEW Tempest Champion, XTC!!!”

 

Shaking his head in surprise, Chamelion allows himself to show a bit of shock on his face and he whistles….

 

“DAYUM, XTC!!…….”

 

Did that get by the censors??

 

“Ever stop to catch your breath…. I don’t know what’s worse…the trash you’re spewing, or the way you’re spewing it.  I don’t know about anyone else, but I was beginning to get a headache just trying to make heads or tails out of what you were trying to say… and if there’s  anything Chamelion despises more then part-time idiots like yourself, it’s a headache.”

 

“Indeed, let us really look at the ‘factorial’ as you so eloquently put it… in our two meetings, you have not had ANY success in stopping Me, while I’ve done nothing but show you up.  I did win at the PPV… it may not have been a 1-2-3… but it kept you from making the mark you promised.  Chamelion always finds a way, and when something blocks my path, I either go through it or if need be, I discover a path to get around it.  But you’re right about one thing, kiddo, we’re going to meet again… and this time, I won’t take you for granted… Oh no… I mean, heck, you’ve already doubled your amount of appearances here, so I have to admit, just maybe.. MAYBE.. you’ll actually put some real effort in.  That should at least be entertaining enough for the fans of HiC….”

 

“Jealous?  Heehehehehe, of what? You?  Nah, but of the situations you luck into, maybe so.  Do you have any idea how close I came to being the one to battle Protean?  A lot closer then you’d care to know… but it just means our next encounter will be all that much more valuable for Me….Currently I am the only VDP member who does not hold a championship title.. … and I really should bring a gift to the gang..So, XTC,  be ready for me…unless of course, this tough act of yours flitters out the window once the stakes get too high!”

 

“Pantera CD?  Is that any different then taking a stable name from a movie?? Especially one with “Waterworld’ Kevin Costner in it?? To shame, XTC, next time you want to try to cut an insult, don’t leave yourself open so easily!  This is just the opening bell in a long battle between you and I…. Your claim to fame is going to run about as long as Protean’s… and Chamelion is going to reclaim the very championship he stumbled away from two months ago…. You see, XTC… you, belong to me.. now”

 

With a sinister look in his eye, Chamelion grins wickedly and continues.

 

“Dalton, you want $2000 from Me? No problem, how about I send you ohhh, $30,000 and I can be ahead for 14 more assaults?  You P****!! You created HiC to be HIGH IMPACT….and that’s what it was.. and now you’re afraid of little lawsuits… Makaveli and Hartman are both terrible losses, that is true… but turning the HiC into a child’s playground and is becoming fast a place of boredom and despair… trust me, oh man of eight chicken legs… the Impact Chamelion makes, is going to be far more devastating now, then ever before.”

 

“VDP is fast gaining ground here in the HiC… and even though there are pitfalls ahead, we’re going to hold a lock on this place for along time to come… Duncan felt it Monday… the rest are sure to follow… and XTC, Kiddo, prove you have what it takes, and this time don’t wait till the Eleventh  hour to show your face… cause next time, I’ll be their to strike you down… and leave you just where everyone else who’s high in the head… in rehab…withdrawn from the real world.. Got it?”

 

Pushing off the wall, Chamelion makes his way back to the bar area, where VDP is celebrating Deathsun’s amazing victory on Monday…. END
