(Sometimes
you can’t hear me because I’m in parenthesis)
Fade into a off-white wall, and a basic style
clock hanging on the wall. By the time,
it is nearly
(Tick)
“I bet
there are at least a half dozen or so people out there who have wondered where
Chamelion has been all week? Usually I’m
right there, quick to comment on what went down at the last event and then blast
right into next week.”
(Tick)
“The
difference would be the opponent I’m about to face.. a return to the heyday of
the PWA… a classic battle against a man for whom I’ve always had a grudging
respect for.. if for nothing more his barely controlled tolerance of my bad
humor. Beyond that, however, I honestly
wanted to wait and let him go first.. to see what explanations he might be able
to come up with for his actions on Monday… and frankly, I’m the HiC World
Champion.. let him scrounge around for material on the matter… “
(Tick
– Sometimes it’s good to be the champion.
Wait, it’s always good.)
“Truth
is tho, a month back we fought opposite in a four on four event.. VDP vs
Raizzor, Sirus Moran, Silverback and… my challenger for the World title..
Nightstryker. Now Bryce, you said a few
things back then I did not get a chance to comment on.. words that made no
sense to the general public and if you thought you’d get away with such moronic
impressions.. think again.”
(Tick
– Didn’t think I’d catch them, did you?)
“The
first was telling Platinum his television was on mute for not hearing anything
coming out of you or Silverback’s mouth.
That, obviously, is a simpleton comment, where as those with a brain
would understand the metaphor that he was trying to explain. In Reality, neither you or Silverback were
saying anything meaningful or for that matter, important enough to keep our
attention focused long enough. Tho,
admittedly, you did catch my ear when you told Lisa you’d drink poison to
intimidate us.”
(Tick
– Maybe you should drink poison, drop dead now and save yourself embarrassment)
“Drinking
poison would kill you, but in no way intimidate us. And if that, kiddo, was a metaphor for
something else… I have no clue.. other then perhaps to show how stupid you
really are.”
(Tick
– then again, don’t go asking much from someone who veggies in front of a video
game)
“Last
month, indeed, you managed to pin Platinum and give the ‘good guys’ a moment to
shine… but not long after, who again owned the night… VDP… and ended with yours
truly walking away World Champion.”
(Tick
– Hold on, I’m getting to it.)
“Yeah
yeah, I’m aware of what happened after the bell rung, but like any mosquito
bite.. a slap, a few days itching and it goes away… and I equivalent Demise to
the likes of a mosquito.. small, annoying, and ultimately splattable.”
(Tick
– and the expected comeback about being the new Tag-Team champions.. ho-hum)
“Now
onto more immediate concerns… I like the video game you got… looks good for the
HiC to be promoting merchandise of said nature to the public.. but unlike the
video game, and the match you played.. real life is by far different. Marcus should be thrilled to see your promo…
its not often he pins Chamelion… it’s like leap year, he scores about once
every four years….but I don’t mean to pick on him too much, he’s not the reason
I’m here. You are.”
(Tick
– Blink, a fast movement of the eyelid.. about as much time as your worth.)
“You do
have something that belongs to me… but it’s not the first time this sort of
thing has happened.. hell, I stole Payton’s title from him at one point… and as
much as I would appreciate my property back.. it is but a symbol for what has
not changed.. and that is Chamelion is Champion, and you.. Bryce, are just above
nothing.”
(Tick
– And if there’s nothing below you to support your stance, guess you’re gonna
fall.)
“When I
came to the ring and opened the door for the HiC to come for me, I didn’t
expect you to show up… but even that surprise was short lived, when I should
have realized that the moment something of such value was presented, your greed
and egomaniacal attitude left you little choice then to take up the offer. It just proves how short your attention span
is… and why you’re here. When Platinum
had the Twister title, you aimed for him… but he lost it before you had your
chance.. now I’m world champion, and lo and behold, here you are.”
(Tick
– Don’t act as if you’re in this for anything more then money and fame.)
“I also
remember said Triple threat, a match where I had to not only deal with you, but
Silverback as well in an earlier guise.
I think I did rather well against two who were good friends at the
time.. and interestingly enough, I also remember how close I came many times,
besting both of you on my own. While
Monday will be our first time one on one, it won’t be the last time I run you
through the ringer, kiddo… “
(Tick
– This is but a warm up, watch out when the fires are truly stoked.)
“Now I
won’t promise you a clean fight, Bryce… asking me to be fair is like asking the
world to turn counter-clockwise… I get to be the bad guy this time around and
I’m going to play it to the hilt.. before, you were M.o.A. and I protected the
PWA… successfully mind you! You best
hope the ref keeps his eyes focused on us the entire time, cause in the moment
he blinks…my forearm’s gonna slam up between your legs, knock your balls into
your throat and send you crashing to the canvas… but don’t fret, kiddo, your
dick’ll still be above them, cause after I roll you over, your knees to your
ears… through them the muffled cry of 1-2-3 will leave you with one thought
left… ‘I shouldn’t stuck to Platinum….”
(Tick
– a bit vulgar, but a true display of power!)
“I think
you deserve that much honesty from me, because even tho we do not care for each
other, you are one of the few in this entire federation to admit you’re up
against a real competitor.. a real challenge… and you are one of the few who
would ever give me the credit I deserve.. not that it will cut you any slack..
but I promise, when I pin you and take you out before you even start here… I’ll
at least shed one single tear.. just for pities sake.. GOT IT?”
(Tick..TOCK!)
