The scene fades in showing a wooden double door. The sounds of a body hitting a wrestling mat seep out through the doors filling the air. The cameraman’s hand can be seen opening one side of the double doors. He walks in and the camera retakes focus. You can now see Lestat and Fire standing in a wrestling ring. Both are breathing hard as if they had been at this all day.
“Let’s take a break.” she says.
“Okay” he replies.
They both slide out of the ring and make their way to a small sitting area against the wall. Once they sit down, Lestat looks to Fire and smiles.
“Thank you for helping me today.” he says.
“No problem. This is actually helping me out as well.” she responds.
A puzzled look crosses his face, because he is confused about what she said. He was sure she was retired from the business.
“How does this help you out? Did you not retire from the business?” he asks.
Fire smiles realizing she had not told him about the news.
“I’m considering coming back to the forefront again. A company I used to work for, wants me and Mr. Showtime back. I don’t know what his plans are, but I myself am considering it. And, of course we wouldn’t leave P.O.W. because it is our current place of employment.” she replies.
A smile crosses Lestat’s face.
“Well, then at least SoC will be okay. Heck, I’m sure you’ll find your way into gold soon after you arrive there. But where is it?” he asks.
Fire smiles and answers “Well I have only been in two businesses before this one. UWW and BWF were those two. Which do you think?”
Lestat shakes his head.
“I really don’t have a clue. It could be either. Both have closed their doors before. So stop teasing and tell me.” he says starting to get agitated.
“It was an offer from David Blazenwing of BWF.” she replies.
Lestat nods.
“Isn’t that the place you and Showtime won the tag team gold on your first match in that company?” he asks.
“Yes, that is right. We won the Tag Team gold on our first match in BWF, and held it for quite some time even. We were quite a force to be reckoned within those days.” she replies.
“You still are.” he says with a smile.
Fire laughs.
“Yeah, you’re right.” she says with a smile.
“Do you think I’m ready for Reck?” he asks.
“Do I? Of course I do.” she says with a smile. “I know all to well exactly what you’re capable of, and I even have a very good idea what Reck is capable of. So you will do just fine. You will prove a lot in that ring when you face Reck.”
Lestat nods listening closely.
“I’m glad you have so much faith in me. I will do whatever it takes in that ring to pull the win over our super hero friend Reck Maverick. I really don’t see how he isn’t exhausted all the time. It must be tough work to be a super hero and a wrestler. You would think he would have no energy to do both. Perhaps he lets his super hero duties slide.” he says jokingly.
Fire giggles.
“Perhaps, but we will see exactly how well he does when you face him. I know you are more focused then ever. I feel that you will walk away with a win when you face him.” she says with a smile.
Lestat stands back up and starts back toward the ring. Fire smiles and follows behind him.
“Shall we?” she asks with a grin.
Lestat smiles back toward her. “Of course.”
Lestat climbs up onto the edge of the ring and holds the ropes open for Fire. Fire climbs up and goes in through the bottom two ropes. Once in Lestat finishes getting in the ring and smiles to her. They both walk to opposite corners.
“Hmm, no bell to ring.” he says.
With a grin she says. “Ding!”
She rushes for Lestat and he stands his ground until she is close to him. He grabs her arm and tosses her into the ring post. He swings as if he is going to hit her but, she ducks and plants her shoulder into his stomach. Stumbling backwards he groans. She takes a few steps back and spears him to the mat. She smiles down to him.
“I should probably go cook dinner. I’ll send someone down to spar with you, which you’re not gonna handle with kid gloves.” she says as she stands up.
Lestat smiles and stands to his feet also.
“Yeah, who you gonna send down? Mr. Showtime?” he asks.
“Nope. I called over reinforcements.” she says with a smile.
“Last time you called reinforcements it was Dan Harvey. Please tell me you aren’t brining Dan here into Showtime’s home.” he says with worry filling his voice.
“Calm down. I didn’t bring Dan. I asked Armand to come.” she says with a devilish smile.
“Armand? Are you trying to get me killed?” he asks.
“No, but I know he will get you very ready for Reck. He has always been able to whip you into shape when no one else could.” she says as she rolls out of the ring.
Lestat hangs his head.
“Of all people.” he says as he sighs.
Armand walks through the double doors and looks to Fire with a smile.
“So, I take it you want to practice?” he says.
“Not for me this time old friend. Lestat here is getting ready to face one of the elite in POW.” she says walking toward Armand.
“Really? Who is he facing?” he asks.
“Reck Maverick.” she replies as she hugs him.
He nods his head and hugs her back.
“I see. So you want me to get him ready to take on one of the top dogs?” he asks as he steps back.
“Yes, that is exactly why I have called you here. I don’t want him to screw this chance up. If he beats Reck Maverick only good things can come from this.” she states.
“Hmm, I guess you are right. But, after I’m done with him there won’t be any ifs. He will walk out of that ring with another win under his belt, and this time, it will be quite the important win. To knock out one of the big dogs is a great step in anyone’s career. Speaking of careers’ has you decided to come out of retirement yet?” he asks walking toward the ring.
“No, I haven’t decided. Trust me everyone will know when I have came to a decision.” she says as she sits down on the chair to watch Armand and Lestat.
Armand arrives at the ring and looks to Lestat.
“Well boy, do you want to beat Reck Maverick?” Armand asks.
Lestat nods. “Yes I do. I want to beat him and gain respect.” he answers.
“I see. Then I can tell you that you are already in the wrong mind set. This isn’t about gaining respect. This is about doing a job and getting it done. You need to walk out into that ring, do your job, and walk back out. It’s as simple as that.” Armand says as he climbs into the ring. “This is a job not a respect contest. Do you understand boy?”
Lestat shakes his head.
“That is somewhat similar to what Dan Harvey told me when he barged into my home.” Lestat replies.
“Then you should’ve listened to him. He sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. He must have quite the experience in this business.” Armand replies.
“I guess so, but I wasn’t in the mood to listen to someone who barges into my home uninvited.” Lestat says angrily.
Armand laughs at Lestat getting upset over something that really isn’t that bad.
“Boy, you get mad over the wrong things. A man coming into your home who is going to offer you good advice should be an ally. I don’t care if he is taking on Mr. Showtime this week. You should look into having him join Society of Chaos. He can teach you much.” Armand says.
Lestat nods.
“Fire has asked him to join. Though she refuses to tell us what his answer was. It’s like it’s some kind of big secret.” he states.
“Well, boy, did you ever think that it is a big secret. That it might be a bomb they wish to drop on POW at a later time?” He asks.
Lestat rubs his chin for a moment as he thinks.
“No, I really didn’t think of that, however it makes complete sense. Perhaps he has said yes and that is why Fire is trying so hard for me to get to know him.” he says.
“Now you’re starting to think boy. Just wait this thing through and Society of Chaos may be a force to be reckoned with yet.” Armand says with a smile. “Now tell me about this Reck Maverick. What do you know about him? What is his fighting style?”
Lestat hops up on the turnbuckle and looks to Armand.
“Well, Reck Maverick, is a super hero of sorts. If I’m not mistaken, he is also a ninja, and . . . ” he starts to say.
Interrupting Lestat, Armand says. “Wait, did you say he was a Ninja Super Hero?” Armand starts to laugh. “So you’re going up against a guy who can’t make up his mind what he wants to do? I can see it now. A super hero by night and a POW world champion once a week.” he continues to laugh. “What is your boss thinking having a clown like that around?”
“He’s really skilled. Who cares what else he does. When we are in that ring, he is Reck Maverick the Power On Wrestling World Champion. He deserves respect for at least that much.” Lestat says defiantly.
“He may deserve it, but he won’t get it from me. I’m not in this business anymore. I’m just a teacher now. My days have come and gone. The time is now for you, Silver, Fire, and Mr. Showtime. I’m through with my days of wrestling for a living.” Armand says.
Lestat nods understanding Armand’s views.
“Now, let’s work on your skill’s boy.” Armand says.
Lestat and Armand lock up in the middle of the ring as Fire cheers on. The scene fades to black.
“Let’s take a break.” she says.
“Okay” he replies.
They both slide out of the ring and make their way to a small sitting area against the wall. Once they sit down, Lestat looks to Fire and smiles.
