'Preparing'

The scene opens in a rather unknown location in Atlanta, as we seem to be in an abandoned warehouse, which is almost worst for wear. Broken windows, hanging off their hinges doors, and the smell of waste and urine seem to overcome the decency of the two figures standing alone in the warehouse.

One of the figures is the mysterious person that is otherwise known as the dealer for Nicky Mills' new narcotics business, and the other is of coarse, 'The Outlaw' Nicky Mills himself, dressed in a tuxedo. This is quite comical because the location of where they are at is not one for being dressed smartly. Nicky has a disgusted look that stains his face as the figure has a baseball cap that covers his face so his identity is not shown. The former TnT champion turns to the figure and shouts at him with a sound of pure anger in his masculine voice. The last time we saw both men, they had escaped from a hospital where Mills had to have a blood transfusion due to a large amount of blood loss, which was reported to have almost killed him.

Nicky Mills: What are we doing here, man? I don't want to be in no dump for long, you bastard.

The figure looks around the place before answering Mills, as he lights up a cigarette.

Mysterious Figure: I have found you a bodyguard. An assassin, to be ultimately precise.

What? Oh I see. And we're meeting in this dump, of all places?

You always seem to be very pessimistic, Nicky.

Hey, fuck you. A billionaire does not spend his time in no dump.

Then why did you hang around with a drug mule?

Well, what business is that of yours? Let's not get into my personal business and who I am friends with, okay?

As you wish.

The figure laughs and takes a puff of his cigarette, while Nicky begins kicking at an old soccer ball against the wall. Soon, a cell phone begins to ring, and the figure quickly uses his free hand to dig into his jacket pocket and quickly answers the cell phone, then holds it to his ear, and still with the cigarette in his mouth. Moments pass, and the figure nods his head before speaking.

We're just inside the warehouse.

Hanging up the phone, a roar of a motorbike is then heard and slowly, a Harley Davidson pulls into the warehouse, and the person on it is an incredible height. We don't understand this until the bike is shut off and the person steps off the bike.

He is around seven foot tall, and he too cannot be identified, but his long black hair hangs off his shoulders, but a hooded jumper and a baseball cap prevents full identification. Nicky however, stops kicking the ball about and his eyes wide open in horror as he quickly steps back, as if he knows who the person is.

You...

I believe you two know each other.

Unknown Assassin: Nicky Mills. it's been a long time.

Mills is lost for words and takes a moment to compose himself, where he takes some deep breaths before speaking.

First Nic, and now you. Jesus Christ...this is turning to be some fucking week.

I've been watching you, you know.

So it was true...you were alive...

Of coarse it was. You didn't believe him all this time? He was telling the truth, and you didn't think to listen?

I thought he was just trying to attract attention. Oh man...

Don't say anything. We need no apologies, and all is forgiven between one another.

I remember you back in the UwA. A small time player, and now your getting into narcotics. That's a pretty giant step, dont you think?

So how's being dead?

Not great. Trying to get money anyway I can, so I took this job because I didnt know where else to find it and its obvious I cant do anything legal now. It's hard being officially dead and people gunning for your ass so you can be in a casket.

Now, Nicky and, for the benefit of identification, Mr Smith here, you two will be working together.  Remember Mills, this is your business, so you have to hire everyone else. I do believe you can hire some poor souls who want to do some dangerous work. Mules are always cheap to find anyway.

I'll do anything for you, Nicky. Just as long as the money is good.

Well, that's good. But you still have to keep a low profile.

That's kind of obvious. Thanks for pointing that out, even though I know already.

No joke, here. If anyone finds out your alive, it'll be my ass as well. And I hate those bastards, man.

You've dealt with the CIA. You can deal with those dicks. But I know what you mean.

This is going to be tough, but a definite money maker. The more you get, the more you sell, and the more territory you can use. Now gentlemen, why dont we get out of here before someone spots us in this...dump?

Alright. Damn, I have a wrestling match to prepare for.

The mysterious figure walks away from the warehouse leaving the assassin and Nicky alone in the warehouse. Mills goes to walk away but the large man tells him to wait, and Nicky turns around.

The past is the past, okay? Whatever happened has happened, and we cant change it. So we may as well drop our little history.

Okay, that's cool with me. Look, we've got to get out of here. I'll see you later, eh?

The giant man nods his head and puts the key into the ignition of his motorbike which gives a loud engine noise. Nicky then gives him a thumbs up, and the man then roars away into the distance, while Mills shakes his head and walks out towards the waiting car, where the figure is. That car then speeds away in the same direction as the bike went, and the scene fades to black.

The Crucible.

Nic Totopoulous.

Two things that are standing out in the head of Nicky Mills right now, that are dug deep into his skull so that he does not forget about either of them. If one thing is on his mind, he also thinks about the other.

The Crucible is like the Superbowl of professional wrestling, where men will find out who is the better out of UwA and TnT Wrestling. Wrestlers such as Reverend Snow, Big Boss, Jimmy Vetalo and such will be competing in this gigantic match. It doesn't need an under card, it just stands out. People pay to see these men battle each other to find who is the better, who is the King of wrestling. Only now, it contains more feds. XPWA have put themselves in this game, along with N.E.W, and the Kovenant will represent themselves in this battle of the best. But how is there competition where retards like Big Boss exist? It's absolutely disgusting. But it WILL be a Kovenant victory, and that's an absolute promise.

At the moment, all that matters is one man. Nic Totopoulous.

Nic was an idol of Nicky Mills'. They both had a tremendous amount of respect for each other. People were dying to see a match between them and it was quoted as 'a wrestling fans wet dream' by TnT Wrestling Magazine. Both men are technical superiors, and trained by the very best. It would be a dream come true and would steal the show.

But then 'God' had to go and turn all religious, and blame Mills for everything. Sins and such, he has turned into a complete lunatic who only wants to see Nicky's destruction. A man that once respected him is now having to hate him because Nic is...jealous. He knows that Mills is the better man, and it haunts him in his dreams and in his thoughts. Nothing can prevent the thoughts, because he knows that the 'best in wrestling' has been taken from him. And if he is God, then Nicky is the Devil, and his rival.

And Mills said he would destroy Billy Dee, even when Reed 'The Cripple' Harrington whined that Nicky would lose because Dee beat him last time. What he failed to mention was that it was an unfair win because Dee had to have interference, and Mills didn't. So then Hell in a Cell came along, and guess what? No interference. Nicky absolutely destroyed Billy Dee, and retained his Eurasian title. That was supposed to be it. It was all meant to be over there and then.

And then 'The Voice' exposed himself to the entire world. Venom, Joe Shmoe, James Sanderson, Billy Dee, and Nic Totopoulous. All giant forces of the wrestling industry at one point. Nicky grew up watching 'God' and wanting to one day face him in the ring. Now, he has to deal with his once loved idol now an enemy of his, and Nicky is pissed off that this man has tried to ruin his entire life. Coma's, unfair attacks, this isn't the Nic that Mills once knew. This is a different man with a different agenda.

The scene cuts to a flashback where it's the date Sunday May 9th 2004, and just after the Totopoulous vs. Mills showdown where Nic won the match but Nicky's foot was on the ropes. We cut backstage to the backstage crowd giving them a standing ovation as Totopoulous enters from the gorilla position and looks worn out. A moment later, Mills walks through the curtain, tired and exhausted from the match. The two then embrace in a hug as wrestlers gather to give them a standing ovation. The two men then walk away from the crowd and into Marcel, who shakes both men's hands for their efforts. The two then walk away from the crowd while Nicky is given a bottle of water by a staff employee.

Nic Totopoulous: Nicky, that was some match tonight, man.

Nicky Mills: You betcha. You know there's a rematch somewhere down the line.

Definatly. I'll be looking forward to that one. Your one of the best around here.

So how's it feel to wrestle again?

Great. You know, keep this stuff up, and they have to give you a title shot.

It aint about titles, Nic. It's all about the wrestling.

Said like a true prodigy. And very true. You know, you see these clowns wanting the money and the attention, but guys like us...we want to please the crowd and give a good wrestling match. That's why these guys never last, but you and me, we always last in this business.

Always, man, always. I have to run, man.

You want a ride back to the hotel?

Um, alright. That seems cool to me.

The two men then head out sight as the scene fades back to the narration.

Once good friends who respected each other.

Now they're enemies.

How sad does this business get? Nic Totopoulous is obviously realizing Nicky has surpassed him, and is now annoyed at him because of this. Well, all I have to say is, that the man Mills once respected is going to get a taste of his own medicine. All bets are off now. It's going to be a war between 'The Gods Disciples' and Nicky Mills. TnT Wrestling will have never seen anything like it because they will tear each other apart.

The battle has begun. Once again.
