The story begins in the Locker Room of the NEW Four Horsemen XE. We see Lance Erickson, Big Ci and Reck Maverick just hanging around. Lance and Ci are sitting at a card table playing a game of... looks like Poker, we can't quite tell what style - but you know, it don't really matter because it's not relevant to the plot, meanwhile Reck is working on his Ninja poses - because he is ninja, and presentation is VERY important to a ninja... it's like rule # 471 of the Ninja Handbook (I SWEAR it will soon be on sale in the lobby!)
Big Ci - *Looking up at Maverick* Hey Reck?
Reck Maverick - *Stopping in cool pose* Yeah?
Big Ci - Where did you go earlier?
Reck Maverick - *Hitting another pose* What are talking about?
Lance turns his head to look at the Atomic Ninja and lowers his sunglasses.
Lance Erickson - We were going to see if you wanted in on the game, but you were gone.
Reck Maverick - Oh yeah, Crazy Super-Villain was trying to take over the world - I had to go and kick his ass - Ninja Style!
Lance looks back at Ci
Lance Erickson - In other words the dude at the 7-11 refused to give you a slushy again.
Reck Maverick - Indeed.
Reck grabs a nearby folding chair and drags it over to table and sits down.
Reck Maverick - So... any idle threats or stupid messages from our adversaries during my leave.
Big Ci - Um... yes.
Reck Maverick - Bodacious... Details please.
Big Ci - Something about cheetahs eating ponies.
Reck Maverick - *Singing* Do it like they do the discovery channel...
Lance gives Reck a "wtf" look.
Reck Maverick - What?
Lance Erickson - Ha... Nothing.
Big Ci - And they also made the mandatory Brokeback Mountain reference.
Reck Maverick - Brokeback Mountain?
Lance Erickson - ... The movie.
Reck Maverick - Oh yeah... Wasn't that the film that got rave reviews, and won like a yacht-full of awards and other accolades?
Big Ci - ...yeah
Reck Maverick - So... were they implying that we - The FOUR HORSEMEN XE are the best in the world. That we are award winning and show stealing? That everything else is a mere B-Movie compared to us? What kind of an insult is THAT?
Big Ci - Actually... I think they were trying to imply we were gay...
Reck Maverick - You mean "Gay" as in happy or "Gay" as in...
Lance nods to indicate that they were referring to the second definition... With that Reck leaps from his chair and flying half way across the room. He lands with his Ninja-to drawn looking at Lance and Ci with a crazy-ninja-look in his eyes.
Lance Erickson - We're not...
Reck nods and re-sheaths his Blade and walks back to the table.
Big Ci - What the hell is wrong with you? Are you homophobic or something?
Reck Maverick - Not at all, I have absolutely no problem with anyone's sexual orientation.
Big Ci - That what was with the jumping?
Reck Maverick - Random Ninja Reflex Test.
Lance Erickson - Of course...
Big Ci - Naturally...
Reck Maverick - IT WAS! Now I have motivation for this match...
Heroic music begins to play as Reck stands up. Lance and Ci are looking around trying to figure where the music is coming from.
Reck Maverick - Before now, I only wanted to defeat those two because the were the Cannon Fodder for the real tag team of Murderous Entertainment... But now I got to vanquish them for using a well-made and entertaining movie as ammunition for their lame "Made-for-TV-Movie" quality jokes.
See now I'm not just fighting this match for myself, I am not just fighting this match for the Four Horsemen... No, I'm fighting for every gay person who has been mocked by some sort of "Brokeback" by an insensitive moron trying to prove he's a "Manly man!" For EVERY person who has been offended by a Brokeback parody - you need not fear because your HERO IS HERE...
Lance Erickson - Yo Reck!
The music cuts out with a vinyl like screech.
Reck Maverick - You... you interrupted my monologue...
Lance Erickson - Who are you talking to?
Reck Maverick - I was talking to the... to the people that were offended - were you not listening?
Lance Erickson - Actually no... I had a Royal Flush - but please... do continue.
Reck Maverick - Gee Thanks... *Clears his throat* Um... where was I?
Big Ci - "You need not fear, you're hero is here.
Reck Maverick - Thanks dude.
Big Ci - No prob.
The Heroic Music cues in again.
Reck Maverick - So for Night and for Daye - Dudes, you guys are gonna pay. This is the Next Level guys, you down to your last life, and your power bar is flashing red. You should've saved your last continue, but you HAD to gamble it away in the Bonus Round didn't ya? Well, you live and learn I guess but until that time WATCH OUT! Because HERE I COME... TO SAVE THE DAY!
Maverick dashes off camera and you hear a CRASH and a THUD. Ci looks up from his cards.
Big Ci - ... Door!
Reck Maverick - .... thanks.
