Reid!? Reid wake up!
Reck Maverick's eyes flutter open... He looks around, he back in his hotel room - He doesn't remember coming back to the hotel or passing out in the bed. He reaches up and grabs his and shakes it. He then looks up and sees Reiko Kasumi standing in front of him.
Reck Maverick - Reiko?!
Reck sits up as a smile grows on Reiko's face as she throws her arms around his neck.
Reiko - Thank God you're alright Reid. I didn't think you'd come back.
Reid frowns a little and his drifts off Reiko and down to the ground.
Reck Maverick - He's here Reiko... in New York.
Reiko - Who? The Green Ranger!? Did you find Jayde!
Just shakes his head as Reiko sits down beside him.
Reck Maverick - I didn't see her... but I know in my heart in he is here then she has got to be nearby... Reiko... He beat me again - I can't defeat him..
Reiko sets her hand on his and smiles.
Reiko - Yes you can Reck... Your just too emotional about it.
Reck opens his mouth to speak but Reiko cuts him off.
Reiko - Reid please... I know that you love Jayde but you've left this notion that it's your fault that she was abducted.
Reck Maverick - It was...
Reiko - No! Jayde knew exactly what she was getting into when you two fought the Green Ranger... Reck you trained her to fight - you know that she is more then capable of defending herself against anyone... ANYONE! Reck you have have faith in her and know that she is alright... you have only things to worry about... 1 - Kicking the Green Ranger's ass and 2 - Winning that World Heavyweight Championship.
Reck Maverick - Rei... You know I don't care about something as meaningless as a championship belt right now.
Reiko - I know... but if you keep a part of you mind on something other then the Ranger you'll keep a clearer head and fresh perspective and I promise you'll be able to defeat the Green Ranger next time.
Reck Maverick - You're right... Thanks Reiko - you always know the best advice don't you. Speaking of advice... have you seen Flap around - I got to talk to him... apologize for the way I acted during our last conversation...
Reiko - No I haven't... Flap and his crew rolled out of here just after you left... Rumour is that they headed toward Toronto.
Reck Maverick - Toronto? That doesn't make sense... do you know why?
Reiko - Sorry Reid... I couldn't learn anything more then that.
Reck Maverick - Damn... and Reiko - I'm sorry for flipping out earlier and bailing on you.
Reiko - It's okay Reid... I know what was running through your mind at the time.
Reck Maverick - That doesn't matter... I shouldn't have taken my frustration out on you or Flap... I should be better then that.
Reiko - Reid you have to stop blaming yourself for everything that goes wrong.
Reck Maverick - I know I shouldn't but it's a personality quirk... So what did I miss when I was out.
Reiko smiles a bit at the fact that Reck's mind is starting to bust out of that tunnel vision he's had since arriving in New York.
Reiko - Well you missed a couple of POW press conferences and a public appearance... Don't worry I covered for you but Mr. Nitorinski is pissed off.
Reck Maverick - Sor...
Reiko - Don't...
Reck just grins in response.
Reck Maverick - How did the press conferences go?
Reiko - Pretty good... I'm not as good of a public speaker as you are but I basically told the people in attendance that you respect John Anthony and that you wished him the best of luck in the match.
Reck nods his head.
Reck Maverick - Good...
Reiko - I also tried to justify this seemingly endless hatred you have for Josh Eagles.
Reck takes a deep breath.
Reck Maverick - Reiko... We're not going to get into this argument again are we...
Reiko - Reid... I did a lot of research of the events that have transpired since Josh returned and I'm beginning to suspect that you might be right!
Reck Maverick - What?
Reiko - Well like when Josh returned at Legendaria and attacked Kailus - he blamed Kailus for putting him on the shelf when in a previous interview Josh admitted that he was already hurt going into his match... The injury wasn't Holmes' fault. It was actually Josh that instigated the entire conflict with Holmes and Neverwinter... and Josh winning the belt in a tag match... It seemed like a very Non - James Nitorinski booking move. Reid... I should apologize to you for not believing you.
Reck Maverick - Reiko no... Don't apologize... You have the ability to have faith in people and believe that they can change... Something I wish I could claim to have... Never, EVER apologize for that Reiko... This is one time I wish I could be wrong about Josh... but I know he won't change... He's like Rich Morrison.
Reiko - Morrison? How?
Reck Maverick - You weren't around for Rich's "Good Guy" phase were you?
Reiko shakes her head.
Reck Maverick - Well after Rich was in POW for a couple months he had an epiphany or something and claimed he changed his ways... but after a couple weeks of losing Rich snapped and when back to his old tricks... Josh is the exact same way only he's been successful up until now... but once things start to not go his way... Well start seeing more of the Eagles of old... it's sad but true.
Reiko - But if all these events already happened with Morrison why doesn't anyone else see this coming...?
Reck Maverick - The Three-Month Rule... Nuff said.
Reiko nods her head... The legendary 3 month rule... where after 3 months all wrestlers, staff and fans are suppose to ignore all previous history... I know it sucks... but it's the CRAZY WORLD O' WRASSLIN'!
Reck looks down at himself and notices for the first time that he is still in his combat apparel and that he didn't change back to his usual look when he came back.
Reck Maverick - Reiko... I'm going to grab a shower... why don't you see what's on TV?
Reiko - Okay, that sounds good.
Reck walks into the next room as Reiko moves up the bed and rests her back on the back board and grabs the remote. She pushes a button and the TV flicks on... It's currently on CNN... Reiko's jaw nearly hits the ground as she sees what the top story is.
Reiko - REID! GET OUT HERE QUICK!
Reck quickly pops runs out of the bathroom.
Reck Maverick - What's wrong?!
Reiko points toward the TV set.
Reiko - Look!
Reck looks at the screen and his eyes narrow.
It's the middle of Times Square and there standing in the middle of the the street standing 125 feet in the air is the Legendary DragonZord! and standing upon the head of the beast is The Green Ranger himself playing the Zyusouken and most disturbingly of all is Jayde... tied... almost crucified on the antler of the Giant Robot. The voice of CNN report Carol Lin fills the room that Reck and Reiko are in.
Carol Lin - If you are just turned on your TV this Giant Robot has suddenly appeared in the heart of Times Square. Preliminary reports are showing the man on top of the robot to be The Green Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger... a symbolic icon of the early 1990's... the FBI has quickly concluded that this man is not Dr. Thomas Oliver - the man that originally wore that suit as he was picked up from Reefside California moments ago... At this time the women has not been Identifyied... more details as we learn them.
The Green Ranger lowers the Zyusouken and begins yelling at the top of his lungs.
Green Ranger - RECK MAVERICK! COME AND FACE ME... THIS ENDS NOW!
Reck looks over at Reiko and she frowns.
Reiko - Go!
Reck nods and runs to the window and throws it open he places one foot on the window ledge but stops and throws a cell phone to Reiko who catches it.
Reiko - What's this for?
Reck Maverick - In case I can't stop him... I want you to find Flap, his buddies and Eagles and get out of New York!
Reiko - Josh? Why?
Reck Maverick - I don't care for Josh... but his wife... Jeska has been through a lot in the past couple weeks... She doesn't deserve anymore grief... I'm gone...
Reck dives out the window to go and face his destiny. Reiko continues to sit on the bed.
Reiko - Good Luck...
To Be Continued...
Reck Maverick's eyes flutter open... He looks around, he back in his hotel room - He doesn't remember coming back to the hotel or passing out in the bed. He reaches up and grabs his and shakes it. He then looks up and sees Reiko Kasumi standing in front of him.
