The scene reopens. As before the camera finds itself located on a beach, white sands stretching out for miles, tourists from all sorts of origin now relaxing in a state of relaxation. The waves wash up on the shore, splashing over the shore. But one man does not appear to be in any relaxed state, nor is he enjoying the breezes around him or the warmth of the sun. This man is now stood on this beach, a multi-colored rucksack on his back, wearing only his boots, a pair of red, tartan shorts and some sunshades. This man is the ICWF Television Champion, his belt on proud display; he is The Jackrabbit.
The Jackrabbit is as he was left, having his T-shirt tugged by a small boy in a red T-shirt, demanding the wrestler save his mother from an unknown kidnapper known only as the Sand Witch.
THE JACKRABBIT: �Hold your horsies kiddo, how�d you know your mummy was captured by The Sand Witch? It sounds like some crazy Disney character! There could be a more sensible answer, kiddo. Like perhaps The Joker? Or perhaps The Kingpin or The Hobgoblin?�
CHILD: �No, you gotsa listen sir! It was The Sand Witch! Everybody in this town knows abouts The Sand Witch! She�s an evil witch� made of sand!�
THE JACKRABBIT: ��or two pieces of bread and a yummy delicious center?�
CHILD: �No no, sand! Real sand! And she kidnaps peoples and turns them into sandpeople too! Everyone knows!�
THE JACKRABBIT: �This sounds freaky! There�s only one super-person who can save the day! You know who?�
CHILD: �The Jackrabbit!?�
THE JACKRABBIT: �No, silly, The Punisher! The Jackrabbit isn�t a superhero, he�s a wrestler, you screwball! But The Punisher is a superhero �cos he uses big guns to fight crime! But the problem with this Punisher is, The Jackrabbit� that�s me!� isn�t crime! In fact, The Jackrabbit is the bestest, superist, bestest, most amazing, did I mention bestest?� ally of Mistah Odjie there ever was! Hehehe! The Jackrabbit has a bazillion �Rabbit Fans on one side of the world, two bazillion on another side of the world, and six bazillion on the other side! That�s right� The Jackrabbit has � uhm� he has� err� lots of �Rabbit Fans! How many Punisher Fans be there? None! Zilch�o Zero! Come Sunday, at Bad Blood, nobodies will be cheering The Punisher� because that Joey chappy, he�ll be saying �And here is your winner and still ICWF Television Champion� THE JACKRABBIT! Arghahahahahahahah!�
CHILD: �Uh, sir Jackrabbit? What about my mummy?�
THE JACKRABBIT: �What about her?�
CHILD: �The Sand Witch still has her, sir��
THE JACKRABBIT: �Oh yes! Thunderbirds away! Where is she?�
CHILD: (shrugging) �Uhm� dunno... maybe if we go see my grandpa he can tell us, he always talks �bout The Sand Witch?�
Without wasting anymore time The Jackrabbit and the child set off for the child�s grandfather�s house. They arrive swiftly, as it is no more than a smallish shack located not far from the shoreline. The child leads his new found savior into the shack, poorly furnished but decorated by various fishing trophies and equipment, most mentionable being the over-used and stereotypical fish plaque on the wall. The child leads The Jackrabbit into the bedroom where they see an old man sat on a bed, his face crinkled and his clothes far from being clean and pressed.
CHILD: �Grandpa! Grandpa!�
GRANDFATHER: �Who�s this tramp?�
THE JACKRABBIT: �I isn�t no tramp matey! I am the one, the only, because there is only one, Friendly Neighborhood Jackrabbit! And I�m no tramp why why oh for the love of ice-cream why? Lemme tell you why. �Cos I am a wrestler in the ICWF under Mistah Odjie�s ownerness! And not only that, I am the Television Champion too, ruler of all televisions and everything! But I don�t �spose you people haves televisions, hmph! I�m gonna stay the champ though anyway, dude, �cos no screwball like Punisher is gunna take it from me. I remember that guy from GWO, where he was the World Champ and all that, but Tal beat him once just like I�ll beat him soon too. And into my record book of wins goes his little superhero name: �The Punisher.� This isn�t GWO, Pun-Pun; this is ICWF where even people like Trinity Stiletto can win matches over you. Stick to your GWO World Titles screwball, �cos the Television Title is staying on The Jackrabbit�s shoulders. What? What do you mean what? I didn�t stutter when I said that� Ready Or Not, Punisher, Here Comes The Jackrabbit!�
CHILD: �He�s here to save mummy, grandpa! She�s been kidnapped by the Sand Witch!�
GRANDFATHER: �Ahhh, hum� The Sand Witch, eh? She�s bin known fer years in these parts� kidnappin� folks all over the place, makin� �em like �er. They say �er body is formed purely o� sand, so she can turn into it and disguise herself on the beach so nobody can find �er. Most powerful o� all the Sandpeople she be. They say she lives in a cave ta� the north of �er, along the shorelines, but none would dare look and those that �ave; never returned!�
THE JACKRABBIT: �Kay kay, let�s get going to find this Sand Witch then!�
And The Jackrabbit turns and skips merrily from the shack, followed hurriedly by the young child who sought his help so desperately.
CHILD: �You really think you can stop The Sand Witch, mister Jackrabbit?�
THE JACKRABBIT: ��Course I can, kiddo, they don�t call me The Jackrabbit for nothing, you know? Well� actually, I don�t have a clue why they call me The Jackrabbit but they does, okay? See, it don�t really matter to The Jackrabbit who he�s fighting� be it Punishers, Sand Witches� heck, I�ll wallop even four peoples. That�s what me and Tal gonna be doing at Bad Blood �cos we gotta go toe-to-toe and chin-to-chin with these Misfits and Joshy�s team. Don�t bother me any, cos me and Tal, we�re Mistah Odjie�s best team; we�re Brethren. And just like The Punisher is gunna fall to the strength of The Brethren, that�s �sactly what�ll happen in the tag team match. The Brethren, that�s our team by the way, Mistah Odjie�s team; we already goes The Television Title, that�s mine, and the other belt, that�s Tal�s. We�re gonna get the Tag Team belts, too. Hehe. �Cos we�re easy peasy the best tag team, �cos we�re bestest buddies and known each others for ages� had a rough patch in GWO and stuff, but we�re cool now, yup yup. I forgived him for throwing me off a building, and he forgived me for losing him his Wealthy Commoner title and costing him his World Title shot. That�s the past, this be the future; soon, very soon, we�re gunna beat Sharky, and Doctor Warning� and we�re gunna beat Joshy, the World Champeeeno, and his buddy Watsisface, and we�ll get our shot at the Tag Belts� and win that too. Why Why, for the love of all things icecreamy WHY is I so sure? �Cos The Brethren always gets The Last Laugh! Arghahahah!�
The young child gives The Jackrabbit a strange look but wastes no time in questioning the figure; for he is his hope in retrieving his mother from the evil sands of the Sand Witch. The two rush off North, headed for the lair of the Sand Witch�
