Genesis X

[reckless101]

*Time: 12:41PM*

*The scene opens up inside of a school gymnasium*

*The gym is currently being used as a venue for an independent wrestling promotion, there is a wrestling ring stationed in the center of the gym and the bleachers are being occupied with wrestling fans ranging from toddlers to adults all anticipating the next match-up, after a few minutes of scanning the entire gymnasium Mark Spirals enters the gym wearing jeans and a T-shirt so it seems that he is not here to compete*

*Mark looks around for an available seat and after a few moments he spots one at the upper section of the bleachers, as he walks to the spot he then notices that Heather Heaton is sitting beside the vacant space he smirks as he makes his way up the bleachers and meets up with Heather*

[Mark Spirals:] Hey.

*Heather turns and sees Mark standing there, she gets a shocked look on her face but then she quickly smiles at the sight*

[Heather Heaton:] Well, if it isn’t Mr. Mark Spirals, A.K.A. our Co-Captain. What brings you here?

[Mark Spirals:] I just made my first addition and he was booked for a match here, so I’m here to see how he does. How about you?

[Heather Heaton:] I’m here to scout out my potential second member.

[Mark Spirals:] Second member?

[Heather Heaton:] Oh, that’s right; you haven’t met my first recruit have you?

*Heather turns to her opposite side and it is shown that Rachel Sky was sitting next to her the whole time, she appears to be having a friendly conversation with a woman around her age*

[Heather Heaton:] Hey Rach.

*Rachel breaks away from her conversation to acknowledge Heather*

[Rachel Sky:] Yes?

[Heather Heaton:] I’m sorry, was I interrupting something?

*Rachel looks at the woman then back at Heather she then thinks about what Heather could be implying she then quickly realizes what it is and she gets red in the face*

[Rachel Sky:] No, no, Heather. You got it all wrong. We were just-

[Heather Heaton:] Calm down, I was just kidding around. Although, you do look adorable when you’re in a panic.

*Rachel starts to feel a little embarrassed*

[Heather Heaton:] I want to introduce you to the Co-Captain I’ve been telling you about. Mark Spirals meet Rachel Sky, Rachel Sky meet Mark Spirals.

[Mark Spirals:] Nice to meet you.

*Mark smiles as he offers his hand for a handshake, Rachel looks into Mark’s eyes and suddenly gets a look of being star struck, she completely gets caught in some sort of trance like she was hypnotized the moment she looked Mark in the eye, she cannot seem to bring herself to move as if she is paralyzed, Heather notices this and gets a little wide-eyed but then smiles like she is enjoying what she sees*

[Mark Spirals:] I’m looking forward to working with you.

[Heather Heaton:] You know Rach, when someone offers their hand for a handshake it’s polite to accept with a smile.

*At that moment Rachel’s sudden trance is broken as she shakes her head a bit*

[Rachel Sky:] Oh, r-right.

*Rachel accepts Mark’s handshake*

[Rachel Sky:] S-sorry about that.

*Mark chuckles to himself as he takes the seat next to Heather*

[Rachel Sky:] So you’re Mark Spirals, I’ve heard a lot about you.

[Mark Spirals:] From Heather, right?

[Rachel Sky:] Even before then. You are much respected in the independent circuit; some even go as far to say that you’re the best.

*Mark gets a slight depressed look on his face, Rachel sees this and goes into a slight panic*

[Rachel Sky:] I’m sorry. Did I say something to offend you?

[Mark Spirals:] Hmm? No, not at all. I just don’t like being refereed as the best is all.

[Rachel Sky:] You don’t? How come?

[Mark Spirals:] I guess is mainly because I never try to be the best. I don’t intend to “best” anyone. All I try to do is be the best that I can be, nothing more, nothing less.

[Rachel Sky:] “The best…that I…can be”?

*As Rachel repeated those words she gets a look of admiration upon her face*

[Heather Heaton:] Can you believe this guy Rach? He is too modest for his own good.

*Mark lets out a laugh for Heather’s words*

[Mark Spirals:] I suppose so.

*The person sitting next to Mark taps his shoulder, Mark turns and sees 3 teenagers with a pens*

[Teenager] Hey, you’re Mark Spirals, right?

[Mark Spirals:] Yeah.

[Teenager:] Awesome! Can we have your autograph?

[Mark Spirals:] Sure.

*Rachel watches Mark as he cheerfully signs autographs for his young fans, she seems to be falling in another admiration trance but this time it’s broken by Heather who playfully drapes her arm over Rachel’s shoulder and presses her cheek to Rachel’s*

[Heather Heaton:] I never saw that look in your eyes before, I’m jealous.

[Rachel Sky:] What look? What are you talking about Heather?

[Heather Heaton:] Don’t play dumb. I’m a psychology major; you know I know these things. I’m too familiar with that look but I never, not even in my wildest dreams, seen that look on you face.

[Rachel Sky:] What look?

[Heather Heaton:] …Lust.

*Rachel’s face turns cherry red with embarrassment*

[Rachel Sky:] I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.

[Heather Heaton:] I told you not to act dumb. Human behavior is like second nature to me.

*Rachel begins to sulk; she knows this kind of behavior is something she never wanted to show although she never felt like this before, with this being a first time experience she did not know how to go about handling it*

[Heather Heaton:] Aww, come on, don’t be like that. These things happen; it’s hard or even impossible to control. It’s okay.

[Rachel Sky:] …But still…

[Heather Heaton:] Why don’t you ask him out on a date?

[Rachel Sky:] A date?

[Heather Heaton:] Yup. It’ll be your first right?

[Rachel Sky:] I could never.

[Heather Heaton:] Why not? I won’t be surprised if it’s Mark’s first date also.

[Rachel Sky:] It’s not that.

[Heather Heaton:] Oh? Then what is it?

[Rachel Sky:] I’m just not that kind of person. I not as direct and blunt as you are.

[Heather Heaton:] Then I’ll do it for you.

[Rachel Sky:] No!

[Heather Heaton:] What are friends for right? Hey Mark.

[Rachel Sky:] Heather!

*As Mark finishes with his autographs he turns to Heather, when Mark turns around he sees that Rachel has Heather in a partial sleeper hold, Rachel is using her left arm to clutch Heather’s throat and the other arm is being used to cover Heather’s mouth keeping her incapable of speaking, Mark looks confused at the scene*

[Mark Spirals:] Huh?

*Mark then looks toward the ring*

[Mark Spirals:] Oh, hey. It looks like their finally ready for the next match.

*Mark turns his attention to the ring, Rachel releases Heather, Heather cannot help but smile and laugh at Rachel*

[Heather Heaton:] My, aren’t you determined. Alright, fine, I’ll leave it be.

*Heather smiles at Rachel before turning her attention to the ring, Rachel lets out a sigh of relief*

[Rachel Sky:] Thank goodness.

*Rachel calms herself down as she too focuses on the ring*

[Announcer:] This next match is a special challenge match issued by “The Bull” Barry Slade.

*The crowd cheers at the mentioned of Barry Slade’s name, Mark chuckles to himself knowing that these people have been suckered by Barry antics which has lead them to believe that he is still the name he was 20 years ago*

[Announcer:] Mr. Slade has volunteered one of his students to compete in a match here against anyone who would take up the offer. So, allow me to introduce to you all Mr. Slade’s student, Jayden Blayze!

*Jayden Blayze enters the gym with an insane level of enthusiasm; he seems to be pumped up to the highest degree, but despite his energetic entrance no one his pleased to see him, not a soul is cheering for him or even clapping, Jayden enters the ring and looks angered*

[Jayden Blayze:] Fine! You don’t have to cheer for me know but just you wait, once I become the greatest wrestler of this generation you will have no choice but to respect me!

[Fan #1:] Yeah right!

[Fan #2:] You Suck ass!

*The gym occupants start to burst out in laughter with the exception of Mark, Heather and Rachel, Jayden is livid*

[Jayden Blayze:] Who said that!? Come on, who was it!? I bet you can’t come up here and say that to my face!

[Heather Heaton:] Man, tough crowd. What a sad sight, I hate to be that guy’s trainer.

*Mark chuckles*

[Mark Spirals:] Well, meet my first recruit.

*Heather looks shocked*

[Heather Heaton:] Him!? He’s your first member? You’ve got to be joking.

[Mark Spirals:] Not at all.

[Heather Heaton:] Why him?

*Just then Mark starts to clap for Jayden*

[Mark Spirals:] Don’t worry about them Jay! You got this!

*Rachel sees how supportive he is of his teammate and decides to join him*

[Rachel Sky:] We’re rooting for you Jayden!

*Heather looks at Mark then at Rachel, she shrugs and decides to join in but her reaction is not as enthusiastic as her other 2 companions*

[Heather Heaton:] Yay…yippee…you go…boy.

*Jayden looks up the bleachers and sees Mark and 2 girls cheering him on making him smile, he then gives them the “thumbs up” sign*

[Heather Heaton:] Ugh…please don’t tell me he just gave us a “thumbs up”.

[Announcer:] And his oppo-

[Jayden Blayze:] I don’t care who it is. Bring ‘em on!

*The announcer covers the microphone so he can speak to Jayden*

[Announcer:] Hey kid. Shut up.

[Jayden Blayze:] What!? You’d better b-

*The announcer resumes his introduction while cutting off Jayden in the process*

[Announcer:] And his mystery opponent…

*That was the mystery opponent’s cue to step into the gym from the opposite entrance Jayden took from the opposite side, the person is completely covered in a black cloak as the person makes way for the ring, everyone is confused as the figure enters the ring*

[Announcer:] And you are?

*The person throws off the cloak up in air and it lands outside the ring, everyone in the gym is shocked to see that the mystery person is Hayley Storm, one of the toughest joshi wrestlers around, Jayden is completely lost for words as he cannot do anything more than just stand there*

[Announcer:] This is a special treat indeed. Here to accept Mr. Slade’s offer, Hayley Storm!

*The entire arena bursts into cheer and applause while Mark and Rachel look around to observe everyone’s excitement while Heather smiles*

[Heather Heaton:] What a pleasant turn of events.

[Mark Spirals:] What you mean?

[Heather Heaton:] You remember when I told you I’m here to scout my second recruit? Well that’s her.

[Mark Spirals:] Really?

[Heather Heaton:] Yeah. Looks my member is going to face off against yours, this should be fun.

*Jayden is able to recollect himself*

[Jayden Blayze:] Y-y-y-you’re a girl!

*Hayley enjoys Jayden’s shocked expression with a simple smirk*

*The crowd’s cheers starts to amplify*

[Jayden Blayze:] Oh yeah, sure. For you they cheer.

*Hayley continues to stand there with her smirk as she waits for the bell to sound*

*TO BE CONTINUED*

[reckless101]

*Time: 1:07PM*

*The scene resumes with Jayden Blayze and Hayley Storm in the ring sizing each other up for their match-up*

*Jayden looks focused but also a bit depressed that his opponent is a girl while Hayley looks at Jayden like she wants to knock his head off of his shoulders, in typical fashion Jayden pumps himself up by barking out his ambitions*

[Jayden Blayze:] Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you’re a girl!

*Hayley smirks before she speaks for the first time*

[Hayley Storm:] Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you’re pathetic.

*Jayden looks taken off guard by that remark while the fans laugh*

[Jayden Blayze:] What did you say?

[Hayley Storm:] I heard about you. You’re Jayden Blayze, or should I say Jayden Daze?

*Jayden looks angry and embarrassed by that remark*

[Jayden Blayze:] H-how you know about that?

[Hayley Storm:] Idiot. We were both enrolled in the Young Lions Academy Wrestling School; I was in a different class than you. Jayden Daze was a nickname given to you by your classmates because of how clueless you were, looks like you haven’t changed a bit since then. You even have that same dumb and confused look on your face.

*Jayden actually does has a confused look on his face, once he realize that he quickly shifts facial expressions, he tries to put on a real concentrated look but Hayley sees right through it which prompts her to shake her head*

[Hayley Storm:] When I found out that there was an open challenge issued by you and Mr. Slade I was ecstatic because it means that I can finally beat your ass from post to post.

*Jayden is looking angrier and angrier at Hayley’s words*

[Hayley Storm:] I’m sure you want to do your usual trash talk routine but I have a feeling that after this match you won’t be able to talk at all.

[Jayden Blayze:] And why is that?

[Hayley Storm:] Because I’m set to knock your teeth down your throat.

*That was the straw that broke the camel’s back as Jayden snaps as he charges at Hayley, Hayley was fully prepared as she stops Jayden is his tracks with a kick to his mid-section causing Jayden to fall to his knees, she then follows up with a stiff kick to Jayden’s forehead, she pins and gets a close 2 count early, Jayden gets back to his feet he looks to be in pain as he clutches his stomach area, Hayley smiles*

[Hayley Storm:] And it only gets worse from here.

*Jayden charges again and is caught with a vicious kicking combination from Hayley leading up to a hard kick to the side of Jayden’s head, Jayden rolls out of the ring and kicks the ring steps in frustration, the crowd laughs at Jayden’s struggle while Mark Spirals is seen shaking his head in disappointment*

[Hayley Storm:] What’s the matter? Don’t tell me you’re finished already.

*Jayden charges back in, Hayley goes for a high roundhouse kick but Jayden ducks in and counters with a calf kick much to everyone’s surprise especially Hayley who is clutching her mouth and jaw from the impact, Jayden looks excited that he finally got Hayley*

[Jayden Blayze:] That’s right! And there’s more where that came from too! Believe it!

*The fans do not know what to make of this scene, the cannot believe that such a moronic wrestler like Jayden Blayze could land an attack on such a fierce and accomplished fighter like Hayley Storm, Hayley is rubbing her jaw while smirking*

[Hayley Storm:] Looks like there IS some talent in you after all. You caught me off my guard with that one. Now you’re DONE!

*Hayley charges at Jayden again, the 2 go on for about 15min, Hayley took most of the match with her striking ability but Jayden was able to surprise her with some techniques of his own including a Death Valley Driver where he got a real close 2 count much to everyone’s surprise*

*Jayden and Hayley seems to be at a stalemate, they both look absolutely exhausted with Jayden having bruises and cuts from Hayley’s strike attacks while Hayley has her own bruises she even has blood coming from her mouth dripping down from her chin from a punch to the mouth from Jayden, everyone in the gym is amazed at the match even more so at Jayden’s efforts and stamina, Jayden and Hayley are huffing and puffing they have nothing left but that is not going to stop their competitive spirits*

[Hayley Storm:] Looks like you reached your limit.

[Jayden Blayze:] Yeah right.

*During the course of the match Hayley realizes she does not have as much stamina as Jayden but she also realizes that Jayden doesn’t know his limits and decides to use this to her advantage*

[Hayley Storm:] How about he finishes this in one last move?

[Jayden Blayze:] Sounds good to me.

*Jayden and Hayley stare each other down for a few moments before they burst in one last screaming charge, right before the met each other in the center of the ring they suddenly pass out*

*No one knows what to make of this scene; everyone is speechless as they watch both Hayley and Jayden lay motionless in the ring, Jayden is face down and Hayley is on her side it is clear that they are both unconscious, the referee has no choice but to declare the match a draw, the crowd boos at the result because they wanted to see an actual winner from such a heated match, after a few minutes some help from the back enters the gym to escort the still immobile Hayley and Jayden to the back to recuperate, Mark Spirals, Heather Heaton and Rachel Sky all follow*

*TO BE CONTINUED*

[reckless101]

*Time: 1:41PM*

*The scene opens up in a medical room*

*Mark Spirals is seen going through the contents of the folder he was given by Marshall Wallace while sitting on a steel folding chair beside Jayden Blayze who is lying on medical bed still unconscious from his match with Hayley Storm*

*A few minutes pass by and Jayden suddenly sits up to the shock of Mark, Jayden frantically looks around wondering where he is and how he got here*

[Jayden Blayze:] Where in the world am I?

[Mark Spirals:] You’re in the Medical Wing, you passed out.

*Jayden looks upset and shocked at the news*

[Jayden Blayze:] What!? You’ve got to be kidding me!

[Mark Spirals:] You mean you really don’t remember anything?

*Jayden thinks back*

[Jayden Blayze:] All I can remember is that we both agreed to end the match with one last move and then…that’s it.

*Jayden then gets a stunned look on his face*

[Jayden Blayze:] Don’t tell me she won and hit me so hard that I can’t even remember what happened!?

*Mark shakes his head*

[Mark Spirals:] Nope, that’s not it at all. Actually, you both lost consciousness at the same time; the referee had to declare the match a draw.

[Jayden Blayze:] A DRAW! AW, COME ON!

[Mark Spirals:] It’s your own fault. You have to realize that you have limits and you can only push those limits so far until your body fails you. You can have all the determination and ability in the world but if you don’t know how to work within your limits it doesn’t mean a thing in the end.

[Jayden Blayze:] …I guess you’re right.

*Jayden starts to fell bad that he let his match end the way it did but that doesn’t last too long as Jayden realizes something*

[Jayden Blayze:] HEY! If we both dropped at the same time that means that Hayley doesn’t know her limits too right?

[Mark Spirals:] I don’t think that’s the case. Hayley is a highly trained and skilled fighter, I’m sure she recognized her own stamina and limit level during training, and I suppose she let her competitive spirit get the best of her here. Her desire to beat you into a pulp blinded her of how much energy she had left.

[Jayden Blayze:] …I see.

*Jayden gets a angry look on his face*

[Jayden Blayze:] Hey! What you mean “beat you into a pulp”!? You really thought that she could that to me!?

*Mark starts to laugh*

[Mark Spirals:] It sure started to look that way.

[Jayden Blayze:] Come on! Give me a break.

*Mark continues his laughter while Jayden still looks upset, the camera then cuts to another medical room, this one is occupied by Heather Heaton, Rachel Sky and Hayley Storm, Hayley is still out from her match with Jayden as she lays on the medical bed, Heather is sitting on a folding chair beside Hayley’s bed watching her sleep as well as waiting for her to wake up, Rachel is sitting in the back of the room by the door on a folding chair also going through the folder that was given to Heather by Marshall*

[Rachel Sky:] You know Heather, you should be doing this.

*Heather looks back at Rachel and smiles*

[Heather Heaton:] I know, but you look so adorable doing secretary work.

*Rachel giggles*

[Rachel Sky:] Just like high school.

*Heather smiles and giggles a bit; just then Hayley starts to move around causing Heather to quickly turn back to Hayley, Rachel stands and walks over to Hayley’s bed standing beside Heather, Hayley moves around a bit more before finally opening her eyes, she sees Heather and Rachel staring back at her making her sit up in shock*

[Heather Heaton:] You’re awake. I probably could have woken you up but I kinda enjoyed watching you sleep.

[Hayley Storm:] Where the hell am I?

[Rachel Sky:] You’re in the Medical Wing. Hi, I’m Rachel Sky.

[Hayley Storm:] …Hi. How did I get here?

[Rachel Sky:] Jayden and you were having a real battle and before either of you could deliver the finishing blow you both fainted.

*Hayley looks disappointed*

[Hayley Storm:] Really?

[Rachel Sky:] Mm hmm. The referee had to call the match a draw.

*Hayley now looks a little angry*

[Hayley Storm:] I can’t believe I tied with that moron; I must’ve been of my game. Next time I’ll end him.

*Rachel gets a frightened facial expression caused by Hayley’s demeanor when it came to Jayden, Hayley takes notice*

[Hayley Storm:] Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.

*Rachel realizes how obvious her facial expression is and tries to change it to a fake confident look and laugh*

[Rachel Sky:] Don’t mind me, I-

*Heather suddenly wraps her arm over and around Rachel’s shoulder*

[Heather Heaton:] No need to apologize Hayley. Isn’t she cute when she’s scared?

*Hayley looks to Heather and smiles*

[Hayley Storm:] Heather Heaton.

*Heather gives Hayley her a playful smile*

[Hayley Storm:] It’s been a while, but I see you haven’t changed a bit. So what brings you here?

[Heather Heaton:] I could explain it but wouldn’t you rather want to hear Rachel’s voice some more?

*Hayley lets out a small laugh seeing that Heather truly did not change, Rachel starts to explain the situation, the camera cuts back to the medical room with Mark Spirals and Jayden Blayze*

[Jayden Blayze:] So those two other girls that were cheering for me were the other Captain and her first member?

[Mark Spirals:] Yeah. Actually…

*Mark takes a look at his wrist watch*

[Mark Spirals:] How are you feeling?

*Jayden flexes showing that he is full of energy*

[Jayden Blayze:] After that nap I feel great.

[Mark Spirals:] Good. So we can go meet with the girls.

*Jayden nods in approval, the camera cuts back to the medical room with Heather, Rachel and Hayley*

[Hayley Storm:] So you were put in charge to form a team to represent the Genesis Wrestling Society and you want me to be your third member?

[Heather Heaton:] Yup. See? Didn’t Rachel explain that so beautifully?

*Rachel starts to blush in embarrassment*

[Hayley Storm:] This is pretty big. I have to think about it.

*Hayley thinks for about a second before giving her answer*

[Hayley Storm:] What the hell, it sounds like fun. I’m in.

[Rachel Sky:] Awesome! Welcome aboard!

*Hayley could not help but smile at Rachel’s kindness*

[Rachel Sky:] You wanna meet the other Captain and our other teammate?

[Hayley Storm:] Sure.

[Heather Heaton:] Well then, come on, move those buns.

*Hayley gets out of the medical bed and walks out of the room with Heather and Rachel, at the same time Mark and Jayden are exiting out their room, the two rooms are seen to be right next door to each other as the girls meet with the boys in the hallway, when Jayden and Hayley lock eyes the get a furious look on her face*

[Jayden Blayze & Hayley Storm:] YOU!

[Jayden Blayze:] You thought you could hide from me, huh!?

[Hayley Storm:] As if! This is far from over!

[Jayden Blayze:] You just read my mind!

*Jayden and Hayley seems to want to continue their match right in the hallway, the both attempt a charge but the only move an inch before they are restrained by their own injuries, Hayley clutches her left arm and Jayden clutches his ribs*

[Rachel Sky:] You two should really learn how to get along.

[Jayden Blayze:] Why would I ever want to get along with her!?

[Heather Heaton:] Well because…

*Heather looks at Mark and Mark looks at Heather, the both nod in unison*

[Mark Spirals & Heather Heaton:] Meet your teammate!

*Heather points at Jayden and Mark points to Hayley, when they both realize this Jayden and Hayley look enraged*

[Hayley Storm:] HIM!?

[Jayden Blayze:] HER!?

[Jayden Blayze & Hayley Storm:] NO WAY!!!

*Hayley and Jayden argue while Rachel tries to calm them down as Mark and Heather talk amongst themselves*

[Mark Spirals:] I think it would be best if we all traveled together from now on.

[Heather Heaton:] Mmmm…interesting. Alright, let’s do that.

*Jayden and Hayley continue their argument not even knowing that they will be seeing a lot more of one another now that they will be traveling together, Rachel is still trying to play peacekeeper while Mark and Heather watch the scene in amusement*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 5:28PM*

*The scene opens up in a Pizza Hut*

*Genesis X is seen sitting in a booth, Mark Spirals and Jayden Blayze in one and Heather Heaton, Rachel Sky and Hayley Storm sitting in the booth directly next to them, they all seem to be enjoying the time together as they share 2 medium pizza pies, everyone is watching in shock and disgust while Jayden quickly chows down one slice right after another*

[Hayley Storm:] Do you ever get tired of pizza?

[Mark Spirals:] This has to be the fourth time this week.

*Jayden speaks with his mouth full*

[Jayden Blayze:] Pizza is the greatest! How can I ever get tired of it?

[Hayley Storm:] Eww! Swallow your food you pig!

*Jayden speaks with his mouth full again*

[Jayden Blayze:] Oh. Sorry.

*Jayden swallows the food he has in his mouth, he struggles a bit since he ate more at once than he should, Jayden starts to choke a little so he takes a drink of his soda and finishes it, he shakes the cup as he comes to the conclusion that he is out*

[Jayden Blayze:] Be right back. Gotta refill.

[Mark Spirals:] You sure ate a lot. You’re not full yet?

[Jayden Blayze:] Are you kidding? I’m just getting started. Believe it!

*Jayden gets up from his seat and temporarily leaves the group to refill his beverage*

[Hayley Storm:] For the life of me, I cannot figure out why is he on this team. What were you thinking Mark?

*Mark chuckles*

[Mark Spirals:] Well you have to admit, he sure knows how to keep us entertained.

[Hayley Storm:] Whatever.

[Heather Heaton:] So Mark.

[Mark Spirals:] Yeah?

[Heather Heaton:] You thought about who else you’re going to recruit? By my count you’re down two to three.

[Mark Spirals:] It isn’t about who completes their team first.

[Heather Heaton:] I don’t know Mark, sounds like loser talk to me.

*Mark smirks*

[Mark Spirals:] Well, I have a few people in mind but I haven’t made a decision just yet.

[Heather Heaton:] I see.

*Heather looks over to Rachel Sky who is sitting directly across from her, she has not spoken at all because she has her face buried in the folder given to Heather, Heather sees right through what Rachel is doing, Rachel is trying to look like she is busy trying to find Heather’s 4th member but she is really trying to avoid looking at Mark knowing that if she does she would risk fainting and embarrassing herself in front of Mark and the public*

[Heather Heaton:] Rachel.

*Rachel’s face shoots up from the inside of the folder, she looks shocked by just the mention of her name, it seems she was also trying to avoid being pulled into a conversation*

[Rachel Sky:] y-yes Heather?

[Heather Heaton:] Mark is alone right now, go sit with him.

*Rachel blushes at the mention of Mark’s name*

[Rachel Sky:] n-n-no, I-I can’t.

*Heather and Hayley smile*

[Heather Heaton:] You know, you are at your cutest when you’re nervous. If you keep this up I think I’ll have to-

*Heather stops mid-sentence as she and the rest of Genesis X notices and watches the 2 people who just walked in, one of them is a very voluptuous and buxom women in her early 20s standing about 5’10” she is accompanying a light-skinned teenager who stands about 5’7”, the duo walk right up to Genesis X*

[Light-Skinned Teenager:] You must be Mark Spirals.

*The Light-Skinned Teenager offers his hand for a handshake, Mark is confused but he shakes his hand anyway*

[Mark Spirals:] …Yes.

[Light-Skinned Teenager:] I’m Captain Jaysin Gage.

[Rachel Sky:] Captain?

[Jaysin Gage:] Yes. Captain Rank is a new installment in our Wrestling World. It is achieved when a Young Lions Academy graduate displays an extensive and exceptional amount of skill physically and mentally. Once you have been notified about the promotion you are to report to the President to make it official. You are then given this armband to wear to indicate your status*

*Genesis X looks at Jaysin’s armband on his right arm; it’s a black cloth that is wrapped around his arm with a plate that has the Next Era Wrestling logo as the emblem*

[Mark Spirals:] Interesting.

[Rachel Sky:] Excuse me, um…Captain Gage?

[Jaysin Gage:] Yes?

[Rachel Sky:] Did you say that you’re a Young Lions Academy graduate?

[Jaysin Gage:] Yes.

[Rachel Sky:] I don’t mean any disrespect, but how old are you?

[Jaysin Gage:] I’m 18 years old.

*Genesis X all look shocked*

[Hayley Storm:] Don’t you have to be at least 18 to just enroll?

[Jaysin Gage:] Yes. I was 18 when I enrolled. I finished the course in 3 months.

*Genesis X reforms their surprised facial expressions*

[Rachel Sky:] 3 months!? The Final Exam is a one-on-one match against your Trainer, even though you can request the match anytime you want, no one is expected to actually win until at least a few years. So you requested your Final Exam after only 3 months and you were able to win?

[Jaysin Gage:] Yes.

[Rachel Sky:] Wow. You must be a genius.

*Before Jaysin can reply the busty women accompanying Jaysin hugs him from behind with much a huge smile on her face*

[Busty Woman:] He is a genius! He is the best Captain anyone could ever ask for!

*Jaysin looks annoyed as the Busty Woman’s large breasts are resting on his neck and the back of his head*

[Jaysin Gage:] Get off of me Candice.

*The Busty Woman releases Jaysin and stands at his side*

[Busty Woman:] Sorry Captain Gage.

[Heather Heaton:] Who are you?

[Busty Woman:] I’m Candice Valencia. The Young Lion under Captain Gage’s tutelage. Who are you guys?

[Mark Spirals:] Mark Spirals.

[Heather Heaton:] Heather Heaton.

[Hayley Storm:] Hayley Storm.

[Rachel Sky:] I’m Rachel Sky, pleased to meet you.

[Candice Valencia:] Hi. Glad to meet you all.

*Rachel looks at Heather in confusion, it’s no wonder how attractive Candice is so she is trying to figure out why Heather is not being “playful” with her*

[Mark Spirals:] You work under Captain Gage?

[Candice Valencia:] Yeah. So you’re Mark Spirals huh? You are very popular; I myself am a huge fan.

[Mark Spirals:] Thank you.

[Candice Valencia:] Can I have your autograph?

[Mark Spirals:] Sure. You have a pen?

*Candice takes out a pen from her pants pocket and hands it to Mark, Mark takes the pen but wonders where to sign, Candice then exposes more of her already almost totally exposed cleavage to Mark as she leans over to him much to his shock*

[Candice Valencia:] Sign right here.

*Mark does not know what to do as he stares at Candice’s almost fully exposed breasts as the pen shakes in his hand, an irritated Jaysin saves Mark by getting Candice to back up*

[Jaysin Gage:] That’s enough Candice.

[Candice Valencia:] Aww, you’re no fun. I just wanted an autograph.

*Heather and Hayley watched the scene with much enjoyment while Rachel watched in jealousy*

[Jaysin Gage:] As a Captain, not only are you first on the list for any booking outside our
Wrestling World but you are also able be assigned a Young Lion to train yourself.

[Mark Spirals:] I see.

[Hayley Storm:] I can’t help but notice an age gap between you two. How old are you Candice?

[Candice Valencia:] I’m 24. I know I’m older and taller than my Captain but there is no one I’d rather have. It wouldn’t hurt if he smiled more though; he’s always so serious and strict.

[Jaysin Gage:] You mean you want me to be carefree and lazy as you?

*Candice cannot help but giggle in embarrassment because Jaysin was right about her*

[Candice Valencia:] Well not exactly.

[Jaysin Gage:] If I was like you then nothing would get done.

*Genesis X all smiles at Candice’s animated nature as well as the interesting combination Jaysin Gage and Candice Valencia make, with Jaysin being more stern despite his young age and Candice being more happy-go-lucky despite her older age and with Candice working under the teenage Jaysin*

*Jayden Blayze returns to the scene sipping on his beverage*

[Jayden Blayze:] I’m back, you wouldn’t believe the line.

*Jayden notices Jaysin Gage:*

[Jayden Blayze:] Hey, who’s the kid?

*Jaysin gets an angered look on his face*

[Candice Valencia:] Uh-oh.

*Even though that remark made Jaysin upset he was able to calm himself down*

[Jaysin Gage:] Kid? I’m Captain Jaysin Gage.

[Jayden Blayze:] Captain? Well, I’m Jayden Blayze…Jaysin…Jayden. Hey, our names sound alike.

*Jaysin analyzes Jayden noticing the pizza stains on his face and clothing, he then gets a disgusted look on his face*

[Jaysin Gage:] And I guarantee you, that is the only thing that is similar between you and me.

*Jayden missed the obvious remark made my Jaysin*

[Jayden Blayze:] Okay, lil’ Jay Jay.

*Jaysin looks aggravated again but he is able to calm himself down once more*

[Jaysin Gage:] That’s Captain Gage to you.

[Candice Valencia:] And I’m Candice Valencia. Hiya!

*Jayden looks at Candice and notices that her loose fitting shirt is exposing a lot of her breasts*

[Jayden Blayze:] Whoa!

*Hayley notices where Jayden is looking at gets an appalled look on her face*

[Hayley Storm:] Stick your eyes back in your head and quit staring you idiot.

*Candice notices where Jayden is looking and smiles*

[Jaysin Gage:] We should be going now Candice.

[Candice Valencia:] Aww, really?

[Jaysin Gage:] Yes. You have a lot of work to do.

[Candice Valencia:] Do I have to do it now? It’s such a beautiful day today.

[Jaysin Gage:] Now Candice. You put this off for far too long.

[Candice Valencia:] Oh, okay. See ya guys.

[Jaysin Gage:] Until we meet again.

*Genesis X waves them goodbye as Jaysin and Candice exits the restaurant*

[Jayden Blayze:] Who were they?

[Mark Spirals:] Two people I’m sure we’re going to see a lot more of.

*Rachel looks at Heather*

[Rachel Sky:] Hey Heather.

[Heather Heaton:] Yeah?

[Rachel Sky:] You know, Candice is very pretty. I’m surprised you didn’t flirt with her.

[Heather Heaton:] Yeah. She is gorgeous, but her beauty is too obvious. I’m more into subtle beauty.

[Rachel Sky:] Oh.

*Heather smiles*

[Heather Heaton:] Why you ask?

*Rachel looks taken aback*

[Rachel Sky:] N-n-no reason.

[Heather Heaton:] Were you jealous?

[Rachel Sky:] Of course not.

[Heather Heaton:] This is exactly the beauty I’m talking about. Look how cute you look.

*Rachel starts to blush as she looks away from Heather*

[Mark Spirals:] We should go too. You ready to leave Rachel?

*Rachel looks at Mark completely forgetting that she was trying to not look at him all this time, when she locks eyes with Mark she turns cherry apple red in the face*

[Mark Spirals:] Are you okay Rachel? You look sick.

*Just then Rachel faints and falls backwards on Hayley who catches her*

[Jayden Blayze:] What the? How weird.

*The scene closes with the rest of Genesis X tying to revive Rachel*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 6:17PM*

*The scene opens up in a wrestling promotion arena*

*Mark Spirals and Jayden Blayze enter the arena each holding a ticket*

[Jayden Blayze:] I can’t believe we actually needed a ticket to get into this place. Aren’t these types of promotions free?

[Mark Spirals:] Yes, usually, but this is a very important tournament. The Only the Strong Tournament has been around since the 70s, I’m surprised you haven’t heard of it.

[Jayden Blayze:] Only the Strong Tournament, eh? Well, if this is such a big tournament, how did you get 2 tickets in the mail?

[Mark Spirals:] One of the finalists is a close friend of mine; he must’ve looked me up and sent me the tickets.

[Jayden Blayze:] So you decided to bring me, huh? You know how awesome I am so you brought me along so I can see the tournament that I’ll eventually win, right?

*Mark looks confused at Jayden’s brash statement*

[Mark Spirals:] …Uh…not really. I actually wanted to bring Heather so she can scout my friend with me, but before I could get to her you begged me to bring you instead once you found out. Don’t you remember?

*Jayden thinks for a moment while scratching the back of his head, he then starts to laugh*

[Jayden Blayze:] Oh yeah, that’s right. I guess I forgot.

*Mark lets out a laugh as a result of Jayden’s exuberant personality*

[Mark Spirals:] We should be getting to our seats.

*Mark and Jayden walk over towards the seat section where everyone else is, all the other fans who received a ticket filled up the area leaving two open seats available in the front row, one seat is empty while the other one directly next to it has a sign that says “Reserved for Mark Spirals”*

[Jayden Blayze:] This guy must be a good friend to get this prepared for you.

*Mark looks a bit embarrassed*

[Mark Spirals:] I can’t believe he would do this. He knows how much I hate being made a fuss over.

[Jayden Blayze:] How can you hate it? I would love to have this kind of attention. You’re a celebrity Mark, just deal with it.

*Mark sighs*

[Mark Spirals:] I guess it can’t be helped, it’s already been done.

*Mark and Jayden take their seats and at perfect timing, the ring announcer enters the ring as he prepares to announce the match*

[Ring Announcer:] Welcome everyone to the finals of the Only the Strong Tournament!

*The crowd cheers*

[Ring Announcer:] These 2 finalists have been fighting tooth and nail to get here! They defeated 16 other capable wrestlers to reach this stage! They both put on amazing matches against their opponents and fought like champions but Only one can be the Strong!

*The crowd cheers*

[Ring Announcer:] Please welcome, Cliff Johnson!

*Cliff Johnson enters the arena and is welcomed by a pleasant greeting from the crowd as he makes his way to the ring*

[Jayden Blayze:] Is that guy your friend?

[Mark Spirals:] No.

[Ring Announcer:] And please welcome, Tyler Jett!

*Tyler Jett enters the ring and the ring explodes with cheers most of which coming from the female fans who are screaming his name and reaching out to touch him, Tyler plays showman and allows some of his female fans to grab hold of him before entering the ring, Jayden is shown covering his ears*

[Jayden Blayze:] Man! Can these girls be any freaking louder? It feels like my ears are about to explode.

*Mark chuckles*

[Mark Spirals:] That’s Tyler for you, he is quite the showman. For the years I’ve known him, he always been able to attract this kind of reaction of his female fans.

[Jayden Blayze:] Wait! You mean THAT guy is your friend?

[Mark Spirals:] Yeah.

*Jayden starts to laugh*

[Jayden Blayze:] Speaking of girls. He kinda looks like one himself…actually he looks A LOT like a girl…actually…he looks hotter then most girls I’ve seen.

*Mark gets a puzzled look on his face*

[Mark Spirals:] Excuse me?

[Jayden Blayze:] What?

*Jayden takes a moment to think about what he said before he gets a frantic facial expression*

[Jayden Blayze:] NO, NO, NO! I didn’t mean it in a weird way or anything! I’m not like that at all! I’m just saying he looks a lot like a girl!

*Mark cannot help but laugh*

[Mark Spirals:] I know, I know, calm down. I agree with you though. We trained in Japan together and our Master also noticed Tyler’s more famine appearance. He told use the term for it is called “Bidanshi”.

[Jayden Blayze:] Banshee?

[Mark Spirals:] No, not banshee. Bid-on-shi is how it’s pronounced. It literally means “handsome man”, but a more in-depth definition would be “a young man whose beauty and sex appeal transcends the boundary of gender or sexual orientation”. He doesn’t really mind it as it grants him much female interest as you can see.

*The screams of the girls in the audience becomes more intense as Tyler starts to play to them*

[Jayden Blayze:] And hear.

[Mark Spirals:] This is actually a trait that all men in his family share. He is the son of the legendary Roland Jett and he has the same bidanshi appearance. Anyway, let’s focus on this match. Since you decided to tag along I want you to watch and study his fighting style.

[Jayden Blayze:] Ugh…study.

*The camera focuses inside the ring on the match which is about to start*

[Cliff Johnson:] Are you ready to get the ass whoopin’ of all ass whoopins?

*Tyler smirks*

[Tyler Jett:] Attack me if you dare, I will crush you!

*The match starts, the match goes on for about 20mins, both men are visually exhausted, the crowd is roaring in cheers to show their approval, Cliff is waiting for Tyler to get to his feet and when he does he attempts to finish him of with the Cliffhanger (Bottom Drop) but he is countered and Tyler connects with his Blitz Kick (Shining High Kick) and gets the pinfall, the crowd erupts in cheers most coming from the female fans*

[Ring Announcer:] And the winner of the Only the Strong Tournament, Tyler Jett!

*Tyler gets his arm raised in victory and welcomes more cheers from the fans, Tyler shows good sportsmanship as he shake hands with Cliff before heading to the back*

[Mark Spirals:] Let’s go.

*Mark and Jayden follow Tyler to the back area, in the back Tyler is seen with a towel around the back of his neck and taking pictures and signing autographs for his female fans, once Tyler notices Mark approaches he looks happy to see him*

[Tyler Jett:] Hey Mark! Glad you could make it.

[Mark Spirals:] Wasn’t a problem. Congratulations on your big win.

*Mark gives Tyler a congratulatory handshake*

[Tyler Jett:] You know me, just another day. What I really want is a rematch against you; we have to break our 4-4 tie.

[Mark Spirals:] Yeah, I know. We’ll get to that; I don’t want to keep that tie anymore than you do.

*Mark and Tyler share a laugh*

[Tyler Jett:] So how you been? It’s been, what, a few months?

[Mark Spirals:] That sounds about right. I’ve been good, and yourself?

[Tyler Jett:] I feel great, never felt better.

[Mark Spirals:] You say that every time I see you.

[Tyler Jett:] And it’s always been true. So, you got a girlfriend yet?

*Mark looks embarrassed, not because of the fact that he does not have a girlfriend but because of the nature of the question itself and the fact that Tyler would bring it up so suddenly*

[Mark Spirals:] Come on Tyler.

[Tyler Jett:] What? You have to learn how to live a little. Life isn’t all about training, sometimes you have to sit back and-

[Mark Spirals:] Just enjoy life. That’s another thing you always say to me.

[Tyler Jett:] And it’s always been true.

*Jayden looks very annoyed*

[Jayden Blayze:] HEY! DON’T TALK LIKE I’M NOT STANDING RIGHT HERE! You guys are making me feel really stupid.

[Mark Spirals:] Oh, sorry Jayden.

[Tyler Jett:] Who’s this guy?

[Jayden Blayze:] The name’s Jayden Blayze and I’m gonna be a Legend someday. Believe it!

[Tyler Jett:] A Legend, huh?

[Jayden Blayze:] Yup, and I’m gonna win this Tournament too.

*Tyler looks at Mark and gives him a look that means “Can you believe this guy?”, Mark chuckles before Tyler smiles at Jayden*

[Tyler Jett:] Those are some pretty bold statements there.

[Jayden Blayze:] It’s not a statement, it’s a PROMISE and my way of life is to never go back on your promises no matter what. So when I make a promise I intend to carry it out.

[Tyler Jett:] Well Jayden Blayze, I’m Tyler Jett.

*Tyler and Jayden shake hands*

[Mark Spirals:] Now that the introductions are over, I have a proposition for you Tyler.

[Tyler Jett:] A proposition?

[Mark Spirals:] Yeah, I didn’t just come here to watch your match?

[Tyler Jett:] You didn’t?

*Jayden notices 3 girls in their early twenties who are ogling Tyler*

[Jayden Blayze:] Well if you guys can excuse me for a while. I see a few girls who know a Legend in the making when they see one.

*Thinking the girls are watching him, Jayden goes over to them much to their disappointment and displeasure, Tyler and Mark resume their conversation*

[Tyler Jett:] So what is this proposition you have for me?

[Mark Spirals:] I want you to join my team.

[Tyler Jett:] Your team?

[Mark Spirals:] The promotion I’ve been working for went under and to continue their legacy and beliefs the Manager and President named me to gather a team and female wrestler to do the same only with other women wrestlers.

[Tyler Jett:] So you want me to join?

[Mark Spirals:] I figured this was an easy choice. So are you in?

*Tyler looks slightly displeased*

[Tyler Jett:] You’re like a brother to me and I would do anything for you…but.

[Mark Spirals:] But what?

[Tyler Jett:] You know me, man. I like to spread my wings, I’m a freelancer and I enjoy it. There is no real schedule, I make my own arrangements and compete where and when I want. If I join your team I’d feel limited and I’m not a fan of working for and taking orders from others.

*Mark is visually disappointed*

[Mark Spirals:] So you’re out?

*Tyler smiles*

[Tyler Jett:] I didn’t say that. I’ll do it on one condition.

*Mark looks delighted*

[Mark Spirals:] Sure. Anything.

[Tyler Jett:] We have our rematch. You are my closest friend but you are also my top rival, don’t forget that.

*Mark smiles*

[Mark Spirals:] I could never forget that, don’t YOU forget that you are MY top rival.

*Mark and Tyler shake hands to signify their deal, Tyler looks over at Jayden*

[Tyler Jett:] And what about him?

[Mark Spirals:] Who? Jayden?

*Mark looks over at Jayden as well, Jayden is seen having an inaudible conversation with the 3 girls, it appears that Jayden said something dumb as the girls reach the peak of their annoyance, one of the girls slaps Jayden across the face, the other one tosses her drink in his face and the last one stomps on his foot with great force causing Jayden to fall on the floor in pain*

[Tyler Jett:] Is he on the team too?

[Mark Spirals:] …Yeah.

[Tyler Jett:] But he isn’t really ON the team; he’s more like the mascot, right?

*Mark sighs as a result of the scene Jayden just caused*

[Mark Spirals:] Let’s go help him.

*The scene closes with Mark and Tyler helping Jayden back to his feet while everyone in the back laughs at Jayden*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 7:28 PM*

*The scene opens up in one of the Rest Hold hotel rooms*

*Mark Spirals, Heather Heaton, Jayden Blayze and Hayley Storm and are all seen sitting around a long dining table, they seem to be waiting for food as they have silverware by their places at the table, after a few minutes Rachel Sky and Tyler Jett enter the room from the kitchen holding 2 plates each of baked ziti, Rachel and Tyler lay plates for Mark, Heather, Jayden and Hayley*

[Jayden Blayze:] Whoa, Rachel! This smells awesome!

[Hayley Storm:] Yeah. Everything looks great.

*Rachel looks pleased*

[Rachel Sky:] Thank you so much.

*Tyler takes his seat as Rachel goes back into the kitchen and comes back out with 2 more plates, she sets one for Tyler then for herself before taking her own seat*

[Mark Spirals:] Amazing. How did you know baked ziti was my favorite dish?

[Rachel Sky:] …Umm…

*Rachel looks over at Tyler who winks at Rachel to show that he was the one that told Rachel that baked ziti is Mark’s favorite dish*

[Rachel Sky:] …L-lucky guess?

*Mark takes a bite of Rachel’s baked ziti and his face fills with delight*

[Mark Spirals:] Wow, Rachel! This tastes fantastic.

*Rachel’s face lights up at being complimented by Mark, even though she was just complimented by Jayden and Hayley*

[Rachel Sky:] You really like it?

[Mark Spirals:] Absolutely. You know, you’re going to make one heck of a wife someday.

*Rachel’s face turns cherry apple red at Mark’s statement*

[Rachel Sky:] One…heck of a…w-wife?

*Rachel starts to faint but she is caught Hayley, Heather smiles as she decides to stir the pot even more*

[Heather Heaton:] Rachel is quite the chef, isn’t she? You should’ve seen her in her cute little apron, she looked so adorable. It made me wish that she was on the menu because I could just eat her up.

*Heather’s statement causes Everyone, except Jayden, to start coughing and choking a bit on their food because they were caught off guard by her obscene comment, Heather smiles and giggles a little at the scene she caused*

[Jayden Blayze:] What’s wrong with you guys?

[Tyler Jett:] You didn’t just-

*Tyler stops mid-sentence as he realizes that trying to explain what Heather really meant to Jayden would be pointless*

*Tyler sighs*

[Tyler Jett:] Nothing, never mind.

*Jayden shakes his head still not understanding what was said, he just goes back to quickly devouring his food like he was before, Hayley notices Jayden’s rapid eating and gets a disgusted look on her face*

[Hayley Storm:] Would you slow down? What do you think this is, a kennel?

[Jayden Blayze:] Oh, sorry.

*Jayden tries to eat at a slower pace much to his displeasure*

[Hayley Storm:] Idiot.

*Hayley shakes her head at Jayden before turning her attention to Tyler*

[Hayley Storm:] So Tyler.

[Tyler Jett:] Yeah?

[Hayley Storm:] You said earlier that your parents own this hotel, right?

[Tyler Jett:] Yup. After my dad retired from wrestling, he and my mom opened up the Rest Hold and it has been a huge success. It is even bigger now that it’s the official hotel of this college-like-campus called the “Next Era Wrestling Universe”.

[Jayden Blayze:] Yeah, this place does look like a college campus, huh?
[Rachel Sky:] This place has everything a wrestler could need only within a few yards of each other. A hotel, a restaurant, a hospital, a gym, a ring and wrestling promotions.

[Tyler Jett:] That was the idea behind its construction. It has everything a wrestler could need like a regular college campus having everything a student needs like dorms, cafeteria, classrooms, gyms and the like.

[Heather Heaton:] So you’re pretty loaded then.

[Tyler Jett:] Well, yes and no. I’m the heir to the Rest Hold, so I’ll inherit it one day and the fortune that goes with it. But for right now, my parents are the ones that are rich.

[Heather Heaton:] But it is still great to be rich, isn’t it?

[Tyler Jett:] Like I said I’m n-

[Heather Heaton:] Isn’t it?

[Tyler Jett:] …Yeah, it’s pretty cool.

*Heather smiles*

[Heather Heaton:] I thought so.

[Rachel Sky:] You’re the son of the Legendary Roland Jett, that must be something.

[Hayley Storm:] I hear he’s really handsome.

[Tyler Jett:] Funny thing about that, I-

[Jayden Blayze:] He also looks like a girl, just like his son.

*Tyler gets annoyed at Jayden’s comment*

[Mark Spirals:] Jayden, what did I tell you about that?

[Jayden Blayze:] Oh, right. He’s a bidinsee…banshee…boomski.

[Tyler Jett:] It’s bidanshi…dumb ass.

[Jayden Blayze:] DUMB ASS! How ‘bout I-

[Hayley Storm:] Shut up, Jayden. I want to hear what Tyler has to say. So what does “bidanshi” mean?

*Jayden starts to mumble to himself in anger*

[Jayden Blayze:] Calling me dumb ass. At least I’m not the one who looks like a chick.

*Tyler overhears Jayden but he chooses not to comment and decides to answer Hayley’s question instead*

[Tyler Jett:] “Bidanshi” basically means “beautiful boy”.

[Hayley Storm:] Oh. I can definitely see that.

*Hayley giggles a little which makes Tyler smirk a little, Rachel sees that Hayley was flirting with Tyler so she decides to continue the conversation forward herself*

[Rachel Sky:] So how did you meet Mark?

[Tyler Jett:] We both trained under the same man at the same time.

[Mark Spirals:] When I was 18, after I graduated from the Young Lions Academy, I traveled to Tokyo, Japan to train under the Legendary Ryuken Hoshi. When I arrived, I went to the Victory Gym owned by Legendary Shin Katsu. It was there that I meant Master Ryuken; we trained for a year before Tyler arrived.

[Rachel Sky:] So you two didn’t start training at the exact same time?

[Tyler Jett:] No. After Mark’s year of training, my parents wanted me to learn about discipline and humanity so my father sent me to Japan to train with his best friend, Ryuken Hoshi. When I first got there I didn’t want anything to do with Master Ryuken and wanted to go home. Mark and I didn’t exactly see eye to eye either.

[Mark Spirals:] You got that right. We got into more fist fights than I care to count.

[Tyler Jett:] But after 2 years of backbreaking training with one another, we become close.

[Mark Spirals:] We become close friends and each other’s primary rival.

[Heather Heaton:] That’s a pretty interesting relationship you two have.

[Tyler Jett:] Yeah, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[Mark Spirals:] Same here.

*Tyler looks at his plate and then at everyone else’s plate, he notices that everyone’s plate is empty, Tyler then finds a way to avoid doing the dishes*

[Tyler Jett:] Well, I’m done. Good stuff Rachel. Jayden, you got the dishes, right?
*Tyler places his plate in front of Jayden*

[Jayden Blayze:] WHAT?

[Mark Spirals:] It’s only fair.

*Mark places his plate in front of Jayden*

[Jayden Blayze:] HEY!

[Hayley Storm:] Rachel did the cooking.

*Hayley places her plate in front of Jayden*

[Jayden Blayze:] WHAT THE!?

[Heather Heaton:] Who knows? Maybe you look just as good washing as Rachel did when she was cooking.

*Heather places her plate in front of Jayden*

[Jayden Blayze:] WAIT A MINUTE!

*Jayden looks at Rachel who slowly places her plate in front of Jayden as well*

[Rachel Sky:] Sorry, Jayden.

*Jayden is left alone in the room with all the dirty dishes and silverware, he gets an angry look on his face*

[Jayden Blayze:] DAMNIT!!!

*The scene closes with Jayden angrily getting the dishes together for him to wash*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 11:19AM*

*Mark Spirals, Jayden Blayze and Hayley Storm are seen walking through the halls of the Office Building on the Next Era Wrestling Campus*

[Hayley Storm:] I wonder why President Wallace and President Summers want to see us.

[Jayden Blayze:] I know why.

[Mark Spirals:] You do?

[Jayden Blayze:] Of course.

[Mark Spirals:] Well then, please fill us in.

[Jayden Blayze:] Obviously the Presidents both realize my awesomeness and want to officially make me a Legend. It took a little longer than I hoped but I’m not complaining.

*Mark and Hayley both shake their heads at Jayden’s brash assumption*

[Mark Spirals:] That’s an…interesting thought, but I don’t think that’s the case.

[Jayden Blayze:] Then what could it possibly be?

[Hayley Storm:] That’s what we’re trying to figure out, moron! I DO think that it’ll be more sensible than your ridiculous “becoming a Legend” idea, though.

[Jayden Blayze:] What do you mean “ridiculous”!? I WILL become a Legend someday, BELIEVE IT!

[Mark Spirals:] Quiet down, Jayden. We’re almost there.

*As the trio gets closer to the office they see that Next Era Wrestling President, Marshall Wallace, and Rose Garden Wrestling President, Claire Summers, are both standing in front of their office door to greet the group*

[Claire Summers:] Good morning, everyone.

[Marshall Wallace:] Glad you all could make it.

[Jayden Blayze:] No problem.

[Claire Summers:] You’re probably wondering why we asked for you 3 specifically.

[Jayden Blayze:] You’re gonna make me a Legend and you want Hayley and Mark here to be witnesses, right?

*Claire and Marshall look at one another before shrugging not knowing what Jayden is talking about*

[Marshall Wallace:] Um…no.

*Hayley laughs*

[Hayley Storm:] I told you.

*Jayden looks immensely disappointed*

[Jayden Blayze:] Then what’s the deal?

[Marshall Wallace:] We understand that you been having trouble in finding your last male member, isn’t that right, Mark?

[Mark Spirals:] Yes. There are some potential candidates, but no one really fits the bill.

[Claire Summers:] Well, we think we found someone who would be a great addition. We wanted Jayden and Hayley to be here because they know this guy personally.

[Jayden Blayze:] We do?

[Hayley Storm:] Who could it be?

[Claire Summers:] Why don’t you see for yourselves?

*Mark and company enter the office; upon entering they see a white-haired male lying on a couch with his feet up, when Hayley sees the white-haired male her face lights up with joy while Jayden looks disgruntled*

[Hayley Storm:] *Excited and happy tone* Nero!

*The white-haired male now known to be “Nero Vayne” takes one look at the group that entered before he scoffs and continues to lounge on the couch*

[Marshall Wallace:] President Summers and I would like to nominate Nero Vayne as the final male member in Genesis X.

[Jayden Blayze:] HIM!? NO WAY! Anybody but him.

[Hayley Storm:] What are you talking about, Jayden? Nero is perfect for the job. He is just awesome. We have to have him on our team.

[Mark Spirals:] So you two do know him?

[Hayley Storm:] We sure do. Nero was enrolled in the Young Lions Academy at the same time we were. Nero and I were then assigned to assist Jayden since he is so slow. After we all graduated we went our separate ways.

*Jayden crosses his arms in front of his chest and starts to pout like a child*

[Jayden Blayze:] I thought I got rid of him for good.

[Claire Summers:] Nero just returned from his tour in Japan, and when he heard he was in the area we requested him to drop by the NEW Universe Campus.

[Marshall Wallace:] So what do you say, Mark? Can Nero join? It’s completely up to you.

[Mark Spirals:] Well, Jayden and Hayley know him and you both seem to have high hopes….

*Jayden, Hayley, Marshall and Claire all wait in anticipation for Mark’s answer while Nero lounge on the couch seemingly not caring whichever choice Mark chooses*

[Mark Spirals:] …Sure. Nero should be an interesting addition.

[Hayley Storm:] YES!

[Jayden Blayze:] DAMNIT!

[Marshall Wallace:] Great. I wish you all the best of luck.

*Nero gets up and is the first to walk out of the room as Hayley follows right behind him, Mark shakes hands with President Wallace and President Summers before him and Jayden also take their exit, the 4-person group now walk the halls of the Office building with Hayley talking to an uninterested Nero several feet in front of Mark and Jayden who engage in a conversation*

[Jayden Blayze:] I can’t believe you added this guy.

[Mark Spirals:] What’s your problem with him?

[Jayden Blayze:] He’s the biggest jerk I’ve ever met.

[Mark Spirals:] Can you go further into detail, please?

[Jayden Blayze:] Nero acts like he’s superior to everyone else. Everyone calling him a “genius” and thinking he’s “awesome”. He thinks he’s better than everyone just because he’s the son of one of the Elite 15.

[Mark Spirals:] He is? Just like Tyler.

[Jayden Blayze:] Yeah. He’s the son of “The Demon” Vergil Devlin.

*Mark looks a little sadden to hear that name*

[Mark Spirals:] Isn’t he…

*Jayden looks upset too*

[Jayden Blayze:] Yeah…he’s dead. He died when Nero was a kid. Now Nero wants to continue his father’s path, he has the same sick obsession with power just like he did. It’s almost like Nero is just a younger version of Vergil.

[Mark Spirals:] …I see.

[Jayden Blayze:] Power is all that guy cares about; I don’t know how he can have so many admirers with his attitude.

[Mark Spirals:] Looks like Hayley has taken a shine to him as well.

*Mark and Jayden sees that Hayley is still talking to an uninterested Nero, she is trying to catch his attention*

[Jayden Blayze:] Just add her to the list.

[Mark Spirals:] Well, if Nero has an unhealthy desire for power then we, as his new teammates, have to steer him away from such a path.

[Jayden Blayze:] Huh?

[Mark Spirals:] When someone searches for power they eventually get it and when they do it corrupts them to the core. We cannot allow that to happen to Nero, right?

*Jayden takes in Mark’s words of wisdom and smiles*

[Jayden Blayze:] Yeah, you’re right. Besides, Nero thinks he is gonna be a Legend before me….now THAT is something that cannot happen either. YOU HEAR THAT NERO?

*Mark is surprised when Jayden calls out to Nero who turns in Jayden’s direction as does Hayley*

[Jayden Blayze:] YOU’RE NOT GONNA BECOME A LEGEND BEFORE ME! I’LL BECOME THE GREATEST LEGEND OF THIS GENERATION, YA HEAR!?

*Hayley shakes her head in embarrassment for Jayden as Nero looks emotionless*

[Nero Vayne:] …Whatever…just stay out of my way……loser.

*Nero walks off as Hayley laughs at Jayden before she follows Nero, Jayden looks angered by Nero’s words*

[Jayden Blayze:] I can’t stand this guy!

*Mark smiles at the scene Jayden just caused*

[Mark Spirals:] We are definitely in for a wild ride.

*The scene comes to a close while Mark and Jayden follows behind Hayley and Nero as they make their way out of the building*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 5:27PM*

*The scene opens up in a high school gymnasium where a professional wrestling event is taking place*

*It appears that the match in progress is coming to a close as Wrestler A hits Wrestler B with a neckbreaker and covers him for the 3 count*

[Announcer:] The winner of the match and new KTW Champion…Wayne Dwaps!

*The crowd cheers as the referee raises his hand in victory, Wayne celebrates for a few minutes before he makes his way to the back area, Wayne enters a locker room and takes a seat on a steel folding chair, after a few minutes Wayne hears a knock at the locker room door*

[Wayne Dwaps:] Hold on. Give me a minute.

*The knock is heard again*

[Wayne Dwaps:] I said hold on!

*This time the door opens and inside steps the knocker, an older looking man who seems to be in his early 60s, Wayne quickly gets to his feet in surprise but calms down when he notices that the person is an old man, Wayne even chuckles at his sight*

[Wayne Dwaps:] Oh, you scared me for a second there, gramps. How’s it hangin’…Not too well I figure.

*The old man smiles while Wayne chuckles again, the old man speaks with a British accent*

[Old Man:] You can call me Mr. Zero.

*Wayne raises an eyebrow in confusion at Mr. Zero’s odd name but then he smirks*

[Wayne Dwaps:] Oh, I get it. You wanna autograph, right? No probl-

[Mr. Zero:] That won’t be necessary, young man.

*Wayne looks confused again*

[Wayne Dwaps:] So why are you here?

*Mr. Zero looks at the Championship belt that is laying on the seat of the steel folding chair before returning his attention to Wayne*

[Mr. Zero:] That’s a fine Championship you got there.

*Wayne looks at his Championship belt then back at Mr. Zero with a proud facial expression*

[Wayne Dwaps:] Sure is. I bust my ass for that thing, my proudest achievement so far.

[Mr. Zero:] You do sound proud of yourself.

[Wayne Dwaps:] I am. No one is gonna stop me from my rise to fame; it’s only a matter of time before I get a call to join the Next Era Wrestling University.

*Mr. Zero chuckles*

[Mr. Zero:] See, that’s where you’re wrong. Your rise ends here.

[Wayne Dwaps:] What?

[Mr. Zero] A few weeks ago, you defeated a certain individual. That same certain individual paid me a large sum of money to make sure you never walk, let alone wrestle, again.

*Obviously feeling threatened Wayne gets an angered expression*

[Wayne Dwaps:] Are you threatening me old man?

*Mr. Zero chuckles again*

[Mr. Zero:] It’s like I said, your rise ends here.

[Wayne Dwaps:] That does it. You’re done old timer.

*Mr. Zero stands still with a smirk on his face as Wayne charges right for him, Wayne extends his hand out as he attempts to grab Mr. Zero by the throat but before he can do so a hand coming from behind Mr. Zero grabs Wayne’s wrist with much pressure*

[Wayne Dwaps:] What the hell?

*The owner of the hand that grabbed Wayne’s wrist steps from behind Mr. Zero; it’s an attractive woman in her early 20s with shoulder length light brown hair and green eyes, she looks enraged*

[Mr. Zero:] Mr. Dwaps, meet my special servant, her name is simply Agent 18.

[Agent 18:] Don’t you dare touch my Master with your filthy hands!

*Agent 18 shoves Wayne by where she grabbed him with great force which causes him to crash into the steel folding chair and onto the floor; Wayne looks up at Mr. Zero and Agent 18 in disbelief*

[Wayne Dwaps:] You two are really pushing my morals today. An old man and a beautiful woman.

*Wayne looks over to his Championship which is now on the floor before he returns his attention back at the duo*

[Wayne Dwaps:] If you think I’m gonna let you two take what I worked so hard for then you’re wrong!

*Wayne charges at the duo*

[Mr. Zero:] 18.

[Agent 18:] Yes, Master.

*Before Wayne could get to the duo Agent 18 bashes him in the nose with a strong headbutt and breaks in the process, Wayne falls to the floor again and starts to bleed profusely from his nose, Wayne is now defenseless*

[Mr. Zero:] You know what to do.

[Agent 18:] Yes, Master.

*Agent 18 wedges Wayne’s left leg between the steel folding chair and then she violently stomps on the chair which shatters Wayne’s leg, Wayne is now screaming in agonizing pain, Agent 18 then wedges Wayne’s right leg between the chair and prepares to perform the same attack, Wayne tries to speak some sense into Agent 18 but the pain is causing him to have a slight stutter.*

[Wayne Dwaps:] P-p-please…d-don’t…I-I-I’m s-so close to my d-d-dream…please don’t d-do th-t-this.

*Wayne’s heartfelt plea for mercy might as well have been baby gibberish as his words have fallen on deaf ears, Agent 18 has been given an order by her slave master and it is her duty to make sure his commands are met no matter what, it seems that Agent 18 does not understand the emotions Wayne is feeling anyway which raises the question of what else does she not know*

[Mr. Zero:] Finish him.

*Agent 18 bows her head in obedience*

[Agent 18:] Yes, Master.

*Agent 18 stomps on Wayne’s leg and breaks it like she did before, Wayne continues his agonizing screams which causes Mr. Zero to look annoyed*

[Mr. Zero:] Ugh, he’s irritating me. Shut him up.

*Agent 18 gets a frustrated look on her face*

[Agent 18:] How dare you irritate my Master!

*Agent 18 strikes Wayne with and anger-filled punch to the face which instantly knocks him unconscious, Mr. Zero and Agent 18 now stands above Wayne to examine the damage they have caused, Mr. Zero smirks as he picks up Wayne’s Championship belt and drapes it over his shoulder*

[Mr. Zero:] How I look?

[Agent 18:] Excellent as always, Master.

*The 2 now exit the locker room and walk outside where a limousine is waiting, Mr. Zero enters first then enters Agent 18, and inside the limo waits a man, the man smiles at sight of the Championship Mr. Zero is carrying*

[Man:] That was quick.

[Mr. Zero:] It helps when you have reliable help.

*Mr. Zero and the Man both look over at Agent 18 who is excluding herself from the conversation by looking out the window as if she was taught to do so, Mr. Zero and the Man then return their attention back to each other, the Man gives Mr. Zero a suitcase*

[Man:] Here is the payment we agreed on.

*Mr. Zero gives the Championship belt to the Man in exchange*

[Mr. Zero:] Now that the current Champion met a very unfortunate accident a replacement is needed.

[Man:] It’s been great doing business with you.

*The Man exits the limo and walks off, Mr. Zero looks over at Agent 18 and grins*

[Mr. Zero:] You’ve done well.

*Agent 18 looks at Mr. Zero and bows her head*

[Agent 18:] Thank you, Master.

*The scene closes with the limousine driving off*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 3:30PM*

*The scene opens in the park area of the Next Era Wrestling campus*

*Jayden Blayze is seen talking to a Young Lion with much confidence*

[Young Lion:] So you’re really part of that Genesis X team that everyone is talking about?

[Jayden Blayze:] Yup, I’m Jayden Blayze, the very first member to be recruited by the team’s Co-Captain.

[Young Lion:] Wow. You must be pretty awesome then.

[Jayden Blayze:] What you mean “pretty” awesome? I’m TOTALLY awesome, BELIEVE IT!

*The Young Lion is clearly impressed with Jayden and he knows it as he soaks in the Young Lion’s praise*

[Young Lion:] So you guys are representing the entire N.E.W. University in every promotion you’re all in, right?

[Jayden Blayze:] Uh-huh.

[Young Lion:] Whoa.

*Jayden takes in more of the Young Lion’s appreciation a little while longer until Hayley Storm walks up to the 2*

[Hayley Storm:] Jayden, I was looking everywhere for you. We have to get going.

[Young Lion:] Hey, Jayden, you know this girl?

[Jayden Blayze:] Yeah.

[Young Lion:] Who is she to you? Like your sister or something?

*Hayley looks disgusted by that comment*

[Hayley Storm:] Sister!? No way!

[Young Lion:] Then who…

*The Young Lion takes a short while to think about Jayden and Hayley’s situation, after a few moments the Young Lion snaps his fingers and looks like he finally figured it out*

[Young Lion:] Oh, I get it. You’re a smooth operator, Jayden.

[Jayden Blayze:] What?

[Young Lion:] You don’t need to hide it; I know she’s your…girlfriend.

*Hayley is so offended that she is rendered speechless, Jayden is looks pretty shocked at the Young Lion’s assumption as well but he smiles and decides to go with the flow in an attempt to look impressive*

[Jayden Blayze:] Well, you can tell she’s really crazy about me.

*At this point Hayley is now livid, Hayley is so built up with rage that she punches Jayden right in the gut completely knocking the wind out of him and causing him to crumble to the ground, the Young Lion looks confused as he checks on Jayden*

[Young Lion:] Jayden, are you alright.

*Jayden is unable to speak as he is trying to catch his breath and recover from the incredible pain, the Young Lion then directs anger towards Hayley*

[Young Lion:] What kind of girlfriend are you!? YOU’RE A WITCH, AND YOU’RE UGLY TOO!

*Hayley keeps her angered facial expression as she cracks her knuckles to prepare herself to do the same to the Young Lion, the Young Lion recognizes the major mistake he made but it is now too late as Hayley approaches him*

[Young Lion:] …Uh-oh…AHHHHH!

*The Young Lion screams for mercy are in vain as Hayley knocks him for a loop with a hard fist to the head which has more than enough force to slam the Young Lion to the ground, Hayley takes some time to observe her handy work before she walks off, it takes some time but both Jayden and the Young Lion raises to their knees*

[Young Lion:] What in the world is she? I don’t even think she’s human. Did you see how wide her forehead is?

*Unfortunately for Jayden and the Young Lion Hayley was within earshot of the Young Lion’s latest comment, Hayley slowly turns around looking absolutely enraged, the fear Jayden and the Young Lion feels makes them gasp, Hayley starts to sprint after them and in a hurry Jayden and the Young Lion quickly attempts to out run Hayley, the Young Lion runs up ahead but the sudden burst of speed causes him to run blindly and bump into a man, the Young Lion falls to the ground but the man he accidentally ran into remains standing, at the sight of the Young Lion falling to the ground Jayden stops running and Hayley stops giving chase, the man looks down at the Young Lion looking unpleasant*

[Man:] Do you need something?

*Jayden and Hayley both look confused as they never seen this man before, the Young Lion rises to his feet*

[Young Lion:] I’m sorry about th-

*Before the Young Lion could finish his sentence the Man grabs him by the throat and proceeds to choke him, the Young Lion struggles but it is clear that the Man is overpowering him*

[Man:] So, does this hurt, punk?

*The man tightens his grip which visibly increases the Young Lion’s pain*

[Hayley Storm:] Hey, I’m sorry; the whole thing was my fault.

[Jayden Blayze:] YOU BETTER TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF HIM RIGHT NOW!

*The Man ignores Hayley and Jayden*

[Man:] I have some time to kill. I think I’ll mess with you for a while.

*The Young Lion continues to struggle and now starts to flail about*

[Young Lion:] Let go of me you jerk!

[Man:] You’re feisty…but not for long.

*The Man tightens him grip some more and in turn causes more visible pain to the Young Lion, Jayden starts to tremble with rage he then charges at the Man*

[Jayden Blayze:] PUT. HIM. DOOOOWWWWNNN!

*When Jayden gets close enough he throws a wild right hand but the Man easily trips Jayden’s feet and makes him fall on his face onto the grassy ground, Jayden quickly raises back to his feet*

[Jayden Blayze:] You think you’re funny?

[Man:] So you two are part of that Genesis X team. Looks like you guys are full of wimps.

[Hayley Storm:] Who are you? Are you an outsider?

*The Man continues to ignore Hayley, the Man now starts to raise the Young Lion off of his feet and at the same time increase the pressure of his chokehold*

[Young Lion:] Hey…cut it out…it hurts.

[Jayden Blayze:] THAT’S IT, DROP HIM NOW OR I’LL TAKE YOU APART! YOU GOT THAT, FOOL!?

*Feeling that Jayden is getting ahead of himself Hayley puts him in a sleeper-like choke hold in an attempt to calm him down*

[Hayley Storm:] You’re the fool. Making threats isn’t going to help, Jayden.

*The Man smiles*

[Man:] You’re annoying, all of you. I don’t like runts or any scrawny weaklings, so when a wimp like this starts shooting his mouth I just want to break him in half.

*The man is talking about the Young Lion he has in his grasp as he shows when he tightens his grip, Jayden and Hayley look shocked as they hear what the Man is implying*

[Hayley Storm:] What is your problem?

*The Man ignores Hayley once more*

[Man:] First, I’ll take care of this little squirt then I’ll waste the other one.

*The Man cocks back a fist as he gets ready to punch the struggling Young Lion, he charges his fist towards the Young Lion’s face while Jayden makes another charge attempt but before the Man’s fist could make contact with the Young Lion or before Jayden could reach the Man a rock suddenly strikes the Man’s fist which makes him release his hold on the Young Lion and makes the Man trickle blood from his fist, the Man sees the rock he was struck with on the ground and starts to search for where it came from, he looks around before looking up a tree where Nero Vayne is sitting on a tree limb while tossing another rock up-and-down from his hand*

[Nero Vayne:] You’re a long way from home and you’re way out of your league.

*Hayley looks relieved and pleased to see Nero*

[Hayley Storm:] *Excited tone* Nero!

*The Man looks irritated while Jayden looks annoyed by Nero’s presence, the Young Lion quickly gets to his feet and sides with Jayden and Hayley*

[Man:] Oh great, another wimp to tick me off.

*Nero continues to toss the rock up-and-down in his hand*

[Nero Vayne:] Get lost.

*Nero catches the rock one more time but instead of tossing it upwards again he crushes it into dust with his hand to signify that he is far from joking around, the sight of that makes Hayley blush in attraction while Jayden stands looking foolish much to the displeasure of the Young Lion*

[Young Lion:] How come you’re not cool like that?

*Jayden makes a desperate attempt to redeem himself with his next statement*

[Jayden Blayze:] What do you mean? I could’ve taken that guy out in two seconds flat.

*The Young Lion sees right through Jayden and turns his head away which makes Jayden angry*

[Jayden Blayze:] *Mutters* Nero, always making look bad in front of everyone.

[Man:] Hey punk, get down here.

*Nero just gives the Man an intense stare*

[Man:] You’re the kind of pesky little snot I hate the most, all attitude and nothing to back it up.

[:] Ralph Raptor. You’re new here, you should be more respectful.

*The mysterious voice causes even Nero to look surprised and caught off-guard, everyone looks to the right and sees that the mysterious voice actually belongs to the familiar face of Jaysin Gage, he is being accompanied by the very buxom Candice Valencia as always*

[Candice Valencia:] Hiya guys!

[Jaysin Gage:] You just got here and it looks like you’ve already caused a ruckus.

*The man now known as Ralph Raptor sees that he is outnumbered but he only takes note of the superior skill sets of Nero and Jaysin*

[Ralph Raptor:] I was just about to get going, no need to get your Superman drawers in a bunch.

*Jaysin gets an aggravated look on his face as Ralph’s comment was an obvious shot to his 18-years of age but he keeps his cool, Ralph now turns his attention to Jayden, Nero and Hayley*

[Ralph Raptor:] This group of yours really pisses me off. I’m not too crazy about the idea of a group of untalented wimps representing the entire University…and soon enough…you’ll find out that there are more who feel the way I do.

*Ralph walks off to let the 3 Genesis X members ponder Ralph’s statement, Jaysin and Candice walks up to the group while Nero continues to sit on the upper tree limb watching Jaysin intently*

[Nero Vayne:] *Mutters* This guy was able to make that clown leave almost as soon as he saw him.

[Jaysin Gage:] Are you all alright?

[Hayley Storm:] Yeah, just about.

[Jayden Blayze:] I was doing just fine before you and Nero butted in.

[Jaysin Gage:] Nero?

*Jaysin and Candice look up the tree and sees Nero, Candice blushes*

[Candice Valencia:] Well, well. What a hottie.

[Jaysin Gage:] I must be off; I have business to attend to.

*Jaysin and Candice walks off, Nero leaps off his place on the tree and onto the ground in front of Jayden, Hayley and the Young Lion*

[Nero Vayne:] Hey, you. Identify yourself.

*Candice turns around with a delighted look on her face*

[Candice Valencia:] You mean me?

[Nero Vayne:] No, him.

*Jaysin turns around now that he knows that Nero is talking about him*

[Jaysin Gage:] I’m Jaysin Gage. I’m curious about you too. You stopped Ralph with just a pebble and made it look easy; you are definitely someone to keep an eye on. You are you exactly?

[Nero Vayne:] I’m Nero Vayne.

*A few seconds passes by and within that time the tension being built between Nero and Jaysin grows and grows until Jayden breaks it*

[Jayden Blayze:] I bet I’m someone to keep an eye on too, right lil’ Jay-Jay?

*Jaysin gets annoyed by the “lil’ Jay-Jay” nickname but he does not express it*

[Jaysin Gage:] Not really.

*Jaysin and Candice continue to walk off*

[Nero Vayne:] *Mutters* Things are getting interesting.

*Jayden looks depressed as he talks to the Young Lion*

[Jayden Blayze:] Hey, do I seem un-cool or something?

[Young Lion:] Well, compared to Nero, yeah, you’re pretty lame.

[Jayden Blayze:] AAAHHHHH! YOU’RE NOT GONNA SHOW ME UP, NERO!

[Nero Vayne:] Back off, loser.

*Hayley remembers why she came to this location in the first place*

[Hayley Storm:] Come on, guys. We have to catch up to the others.

*The Young Lion waves good-bye as Jayden and Hayley rush off while Nero nonchalantly follows, after a few moments the trio reaches the Front Office building of the Next Era Wrestling University where they meet up with Mark Spirals, Heather Heaton, Tyler Jett and Rachel Sky*

[Tyler Jett:] What in the world took you guys so long? We sent Hayley to get you like a half hour ago.

[Hayley Storm:] Sorry, we got caught up with something.

[Heather Heaton:] Looks like you’ve found our devil’s advocate as well.

*Heather gives Nero a smile which he scoffs off*

[Nero Vayne:] Whatever.

*Nero passes by his teammates and enters first*

[Jayden Blayze:] That jerk. What are we here for anyway?

[Hayley Storm:] We’re here for our evaluation from the Presidents.

*Even though Jayden does not remember the message he received from Mark yesterday he acts like he does*

[Jayden Blayze:] Oh yeah, I remember.

*Hayley sees right through Jayden and shakes her head in disappointment*

[Mark Spirals:] Alright team, let’s go.

*The scene closes with Mark leading his group inside the Front Office building where awaits the evaluations from Next Era Wrestling President Marshall Wallace and Rose Garden Wrestling President Claire Summers*

*TO BE CONTINUED*

[reckless101]

*Time: 4:17PM*

*The scene opens up inside of the Front Office building*

*All Genesis X members walk in the waiting room for those with appointments with Next Era Wrestling President Marshall Wallace and Rose Garden Wrestling President Claire Summers, they are greeted by the Presidents’ assistant Robin Mitchell who is seated by her desk*

[Robin Mitchell:] Hi, everyone. You guys are here for your evaluation, right?

[Mark Spirals:] Yeah.

[Robin Mitchell:] Great, feel free to have a seat and I’ll let the Presidents know you’re here.

[Mark Spirals:] Alright, thank you.

[Robin Mitchell:] No biggie.

*Each Genesis X member finds a seat in the waiting room, Robin uses the intercom on her desk to communicate with the Presidents*

[Robin Mitchell:] Genesis X is here President Summers and President Wallace.

*The scene then shifts to the office of President Marshall Wallace and President Claire Summers where Marshall uses the intercom on his desk to communicate with Robin*

[Marshall Wallace:] Thank you, Robin.

[Robin Mitchell:] No biggie.

*Marshall removes his finger from the intercom to talk to Claire in private*

[Marshall Wallace:] So Claire, how you want to do this?

[Claire Summers:] I figure easiest to hardest would be best.

*Marshall lets out a small chuckle*

[Claire Summers:] What’s so funny?

[Marshall Wallace:] Nothing, I think I’ll copy you.

*Marshall lets out another chuckle*

[Claire Summers:] What is it?

[Marshall Wallace:] You’re really going to go through with this, aren’t you?

*Claire lets out a heavy sigh*

[Claire Summers:] …I have to.

[Marshall Wallace:] Your call. I have to tell you, I would hate to be you today.

*Claire shakes her head in distress*

[Marshall Wallace:] Should I go first or do you want to?

[Claire Summers:] …You go ahead.

[Marshall Wallace:] You know, stalling is just going to make it tougher.

*Marshall waits for a response from Claire but once he realizes he isn’t getting one he moves on*

[Marshall Wallace:] Okay, I’ll get us started.

*Marshall presses the intercom*

[Marshall Wallace:] Robin, send in Mark Spirals please.

[Robin Mitchell:] You got it.

*After a few moments Mark Spirals enters the office*

[Marshall Wallace:] Good afternoon, Mark. Please, have a seat.

[Mark Spirals:] Thank you.

*Mark takes the seat in front of Marshall’s desk*

[Marshall Wallace:] Well Mark, there isn’t much to say to you but congratulations. You are doing an exceptional job as Co-Captain. Your leadership skills have gained you much respect in and out of the University. I also hear you just picked up on your biggest win thus far and earned yourself a spot on the main Reserves roster in the Universal Battle League promotion. All I have to say to you is, keep up the good work.

[Mark Spirals:] Thank you.

*Mark and Marshall shake hands before Mark exits the office, Claire presses the intercom on her desk*

[Claire Summers:] Robin, send in Hayley Storm please.

[Robin Mitchell:] You got it.

*After a few moments Hayley Storm enters the office*

[Claire Summers:] Good afternoon, Hayley. Have a seat.

*Hayley takes the seat in front of Claire’s desk*

[Claire Summers:] Hayley, you are making quite an impact here in the University when it comes to the female demographic. They all appreciate your status in within the team as the “strong and independent woman” and like the fact that you’re trying to prove that in this sport women don’t come in second to men. I would also like to congratulate you on your recent win.

[Hayley Storm:] …Thanks.

*Claire becomes aware of Hayley’s worried facial expression*

[Claire Summers:] Is there something wrong?

[Hayley Storm:] …On the way I met one of the newer members here and he said something that bothered me.

[Marshall Wallace:] “He” huh, you happen to get his name?

[Hayley Storm:] He said his name is Ralph Raptor.

[Marshall Wallace:] Ah, Ralph Raptor. Yes, he’s a new member here. Not exactly one of the nicer individuals.

[Claire Summers:] What did he say that got you concerned?

*Hayley’s worried look grows*

[Hayley Storm:] …He said that there are people who are against the Genesis X team.

[Claire Summers:] I see.

[Hayley Storm:] Is that true? Up until now I always thought we had everyone’s support, it’s not like we heard any complaints or anything. I never even thought that there are others who are against us.

[Claire Summers:] Well, President Wallace and I run a huge University here, its only human nature that there will be mixed feelings for anything and everything we do and coming up with the Genesis X team is definitely one of them.

[Hayley Storm:] …Yeah, I understand.

[Marshall Wallace:] Just remember, if you see anything out of the ordinary are if you feel threatened in any way just come to us and we will handle it.

[Hayley Storm:] …Okay.

*Hayley shakes Claire’s hand before she makes her way to the office door*

[Claire Summers:] Hayley.

*Hayley turns around to face Claire before she can exit*

[Claire Summers:] Try to keep your spirit up, I would define you as the “Powerhouse” of the team so if you look weaken you could make your entire team weak overall. Keep that in mind.

*Claire gives Hayley a reassuring smile which brings Hayley’s spirits back up, Hayley then gives Claire a smile right back*

[Hayley Storm:] Alright, thanks.

*Hayley exits the office with her new found resolve, Marshall presses the intercom*

[Marshall Wallace:] Robin, send in Tyler Jett.

[Robin Mitchell:] You got it.

*After a few moments Tyler Jett enters the room*

[Marshall Wallace:] Good afternoon, Tyler. Please, have a seat.

*Tyler takes the seat in front of Marshall’s desk*

[Marshall Wallace:] Since you didn’t have a match yet I have nothing to report to you in that aspect but your appearances have gained you quite a fan base. Out of the male members on your team, you have the second largest female fan base.

[Tyler Jett:] Second huh, may I ask who the first is?

[Marshall Wallace:] It appears that Nero Vayne holds that position. I guess the ladies have taken a shine to his mystique.

[Tyler Jett:] No kidding.

[Marshall Wallace:] I would also like to commend you on taking Jayden under your wing so-to-speak. It’s no surprise to anyone that he has ways to go so I’m happy to see that he’s in good hands.

[Tyler Jett:] No problem.

*Tyler shakes hands with Marshall before he makes his exit, Claire presses the intercom*

[Claire Summers:] Robin, can you send in Heather Heaton please?

[Robin Mitchell:] You got it.

*After a few moments Heather Heaton enters the office*

[Claire Summers:] Good afternoon, Heather. Have a seat.

[Heather Heaton:] Thank you.

*Heather notices that Marshall is looking a bit nervous in her presence which makes her smile*

[Heather Heaton:] Hello President Wallace. Always nice to see you.

[Marshall Wallace:] N-nice to see you too.

*Heather gives Marshall a flirtatious wink which makes Marshall bleed from his nose a bit, Heather smiles as she takes the seat in front Claire’s desk, Claire has a frustrated look on her face as she looks at Marshall*

[Claire Summers:] Keep it together, Marshall. And clean your face.

[Marshall Wallace:] Sorry.

*Marshall takes a napkin from his desk to clean his face while Claire directs her attention to Heather*

[Claire Summers:] It seems that you have the largest fan base in your entire team, male and female. I’m sure it’s your personality that did it because it’s certainly not your wrestling ability.

[Heather Heaton:] Oh? Why are we saying that?

[Claire Summers:] You are by far the best technician and submission artist we have in the ENTIRE University but nobody can see that because you INSIST on goofing off instead of taking things more seriously like you should. If you would just apply yourself there is no doubt in my mind that we will be holding a Legend Ceremony in your name.

[Heather Heaton:] Legend?...That sounds like a lot of dull work.

*Claire gets an upset look*

[Claire Summers:] That’s EXACTLY the attitude I’m talking about.

*Claire lets out a distressed sigh as she tries to calm down a bit*

[Claire Summers:] Have you even made any progress on finding your last teammate?

*Heather shrugs playfully*

[Heather Heaton:] There are a lot of cute girls around, it’s tough to choose.

*Claire gives up as she places her head in her palms like she is getting a headache*

[Claire Summers:] …Fine. You can see yourself out.

*Heather smiles before she gets out of her seat, she looks over at Marshall who just stop his bleeding*

[Heather Heaton:] Bye, Mr. President.

*Heather winks at Marshall again which restarts his bleeding, he desperately tries to stop it with more tissues, Heather smiles again as she exits the office*

[Claire Summers:] I swear talking to that woman is so frustrating.

[Marshall Wallace:] She does makes things hard……I mean difficult.

*Claire gives Marshall a disgusted look as she pieced together what Marshall inadvertently said, Marshall finishes cleaning his nose as the bleeding stops again before he contacts Robin via intercom*

[Marshall Wallace:] Robin, send in Jayden Blayze.

[Robin Mitchell:] You got it.

*After a few moments Jayden Blayze enters the office*

[Marshall Wallace:] Jayden, have a seat.

*Jayden takes the seat in front of Marshall’s desk as he eagerly waits for his report*

[Marshall Wallace:] During you-

[Jayden Blayze:] You don’t have to say it, I already know. I’ve been so awesome that you are gonna hold a Legend Ceremony for me right?

*Marshall shakes his head*

[Marshall Wallace:] Close, but no.

*Jayden looks upset as he starts to sulk in his seat*

[Marshall Wallace:] Jayden, who is your favorite wrestler?

[Jayden Blayze:] That’s easy, Crymson is my favorite wrestler.

*Marshall gets a shocked look on his face but he doesn’t tell Jayden why*

[Marshall Wallace:] Really, one of the Elite 15, why’s that?

[Jayden Blayze:] Because he fights for people he cares about and for recognition like I do.

[Marshall Wallace:] I see. With that being said, during your time as a member of Genesis X you have gathered quite a following.

[Jayden Blayze:] So I have fans, huh? That’s no surprise, I am pretty amazing.

[Marshall Wallace:] Let me finish, the reason they follow you is to see you make a fool of yourself…and in that you always find a way to succeed.

[Jayden Blayze:] WHAT!? So these people watch me to make fun of me?

[Marshall Wallace:] It appears that way, yes. While most in and out of the University believes you’re bound for failure, Mark speaks very highly of you and that is enough reason for me to keep you on this team. Just don’t disappoint.

[Jayden Blayze:] Failure is not an option for me. I said that I’ll become a Legend and I NEVER go back on my word and I ALWAYS fulfill my promises, BELIEVE IT!

[Marshall Wallace:] For your sake, I hope so.

*Jayden shakes hands with Marshall before he exits the office, Marshall looks over at Claire and sees that she is still drained from her meeting with Heather*

[Marshall Wallace:] I can see you need more time, so I’ll go ahead.

*Marshall presses the intercom*

[Marshall Wallace:] Robin, send in Nero Vayne.

[Robin Mitchell:] You got it.

*After a few moments Nero Vayne enters the office*

[Marshall Wallace:] Good afterno-

*Before Marshall can finish his statement Nero takes the seat in front of Marshall showing much disrespect in the process*

[Marshall Wallace:] …Okay. For you Nero I don’t have an evaluation to give, only advice. You are involved in a group full of great and caring people, by adding you to this team, President Summers and I was hoping that it’ll give you an opportunity to open up. You need to stop pushing these people away and deviate from your current path because I know what’s on your mind, you want to continue your late father’s reign of terror he had in the wrestling world. Yes, you have great skills but use them for your team, not for yourself. That’s all I have to say.

*Nero does not look phased by Marshall’s plea*

[Marshall Wallace:] Do you have anything to say?

[Nero Vayne:] ……Whatever.

*Marshall gets a disappointed look on his face, he extends his hand out for a handshake but instead of accepting Marshall’s gesture Nero takes one look at it and gets up from his seat and exits the office, Marshall sighs*

[Marshall Wallace:] I hope someone reaches to that kid soon.

*Marshall looks over at Claire who looks better than she did before*

[Marshall Wallace:] It’s time, Claire, are you ready?

*Claire sighs*

[Claire Summers:] …Lets just get this over with.

*Claire presses the intercom*

[Claire Summers:] Robin, send in Rachel Sky please.

[Robin Mitchell:] You got it.

*After a few moments Rachel Sky enters the office*

[Rachel Sky:] Hello President Summers and President Wallace, good afternoon.

[Marshall Wallace:] Good afternoon, Rachel, it’s nice to see yo-

[Claire Summers:] Rachel, have a seat.

*After being cut off by Claire, Marshall realizes he should be quiet now*

[Rachel Sky:] Okay.

*Rachel takes the seat in front of Claire’s desk*

[Claire Summers:] From the day I met you I knew you were lacking when it comes to taking decisive action. I was hopeful that being a member on this team would make you reflect on your weaknesses and change.

*Rachel starts to look worried*

[Rachel Sky:] Weaknesses?

[Claire Summers:] You’re short of self-confidence and you’re too soft and kind to your opponents. These are terrible qualities for a wrestler to have; you are rapidly becoming a liability to the entire team.

*At this point Rachel is visibly feeling worse but she is trying her hardest to look professional in front of the Presidents*

[Claire Summers:] We live in a cruel and cold world and in this line of work people can and will go to dangerous lengths in an attempt to attack weak points, and I’m sorry Rachel but you’re that weak point. You’re a very fragile person and I have your safety to consider.

*Claire sighs heavily*

[Claire Summers:] I don’t want to have to do this as your personality has proved to be a positive influence on your teammates but……I am considering dropping you from the team. I will give you some time to adjust but I do have possible replacements ready.

[Rachel Sky:] …Replacements?

*Rachel’s eyes are starting to water as she is still desperately trying to fight back her urge to cry, Marshall sees that and looks to be feeling bad for Rachel*

[Claire Summers:] That’ll be all.

*Rachel stands out of her seat and shakes Claire’s hand while still looking crushed at the news*

[Rachel Sky:] …Thank you.

*Rachel exits the office*

[Marshall Wallace:] I think you were a little too hard on her.

*Claire sighs*

[Claire Summers:] It had to be done.

*The scene switches back to the waiting room where the Genesis X members is waiting for Rachel to return, when she gets back her teammates look happy to see her except for Nero*

[Jayden Blayze:] Hey, Rachel, so how did it g-

*Before Jayden can finish his sentence he stops as he notices tears falling from Rachel’s eyes, the sight of this makes her teammates highly concerned except for Nero*

[Jayden Blayze:] Rachel, what’s wrong?

*Rachel surveys her team and sees that most of them look worried she also thinks about Claire’s words about her being the weakest link in the team, Rachel takes a look at Mark’s troubled look which encourages her response*

[Rachel Sky:] …It’s…it’s nothing.

*Even though Rachel is trying to be strong here she cannot so she collapses into Heather’s arms and starts crying*

[Rachel Sky:] *Sobbing*…P-President Summers said that…I’m at risk on being r-r-replaced.

*The Genesis X members all look taken-aback at the news except for Nero*

[Tyler Jett:] What, replaced?

[Hayley Storm:] There has to some kind of mistake.

[Mark Spirals:] What did she say exactly?

[Rachel Sky:] *Sobbing* …She said since I’m the weakest I could become a handicap to you all.

*As Rachel continues to cry Jayden starts to fill and tremble with rage, Jayden then makes his way back to the Presidents office much to the shock of his teammates and Robin*

[Robin Mitchell:] Hey, what are yo-

[Jayden Blayze:] I’ll just be a second.

*Jayden barges into the Presidents’ office to their shock, Jayden marches up to Claire’s desk and slams his palms on it to show his anger, he also put a large crack in the desk which also shows what Jayden is capable of when he gets lost in his emotions*

[Jayden Blayze:] WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA!?

[Claire Summers:] Excuse me?

[Jayden Blayze:] WHAT YOU MEAN YOU’RE GOING TO REPLACE RACHEL!?

*Claire stands up out of her seat to face Jayden eye-to-eye, she also has a scowl on her face as a result of her feeling disrespected by Jayden and his behavior, Marshall makes the wise decision and stays out of it after seeing the angered Jayden and Claire*

[Jayden Blayze:] YOU CAN’T REPLACE RACHEL, SHE MEANS TOO MUCH TO THIS TEAM! THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN TAKE HER PLACE AND YOU’LL BE STUPID FOR EVEN TRYING!

[Claire Summers:] WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO!? IF YOU DON’T WANT TO GET BANISHED ON THE SPOT THEN I HIGHLY SUGGUST YOU LOWER YOUR VOICE.

*Jayden lowers his voice but the intensity in his face and tone remains*

[Jayden Blayze:] Rachel may not be the strongest on this team but she has a strength none of us has. Rachel is the heart of this team; she keeps us going physically and in spirit. If you replace Rachel it’s like you’re pulling the heart from out of us. We won’t be able to function…without Rachel…we die.

*Jayden notices that he cracked Claire’s desk*

[Jayden Blayze:] Sorry about your desk.

*On that note Jayden exits the office, Claire calms down some as she sits back down, Marshall looks impressed with what just transpired*

[Marshall Wallace:] Wow. Jayden…who knew, huh? I believe I’m starting to see what Mark sees in him. And what a clever line too, I have to admit…I’m impressed.

*Claire sighs heavily*

[Claire Summers:] …I need a vacation.

*Marshall laughs as the scene cuts back to the waiting room where Jayden returns to his teammates, they all look at Jayden wondering what he did, Jayden looks at Rachel and smiles*

[Jayden Blayze:] Don’t worry, Rachel. I don’t think you’re getting replaced anytime soon.

*Rachel dries her eyes then smiles before she goes over and hugs Jayden*

[Rachel Sky:] Thank you, Jayden.

[Jayden Blayze:] Hey, no need to thank me, that’s what friends are for.

*Rachel hugs Jayden tighter as the rest of Genesis X all look impressed with Jayden’s showing except Nero who shakes his head*

*MEANWHILE*

*The scene now shifts to an unknown hotel hallway where the focus in on a room door, there is loud crashing and banging heard from the inside of the room, there are also sounds of a man screaming in agony, this goes on for a few more moments before all the noise and screaming comes to a sudden stop, after a few moments passes by the room door opens and out steps Mr. Zero and Agent 18, Agent 18 has blood on her hands and her shirt she looks emotionless as Mr. Zero smirks*

[Mr. Zero:] Another job well done, Agent 18.

*Agent 18 bows her head*

[Agent 18:] Thank you, Master.

*Mr. Zero and Agent 18 walks off in one direction while a maid enters the scene from the other, she opens and enters the door from which Mr. Zero and Agent 18 came, when she closes the door she lets out a horrified shriek*

*The scene comes to a close with the maid exiting the room and running off in terror*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 11:10PM*

*The scene opens up inside a dimly lit house*

*Not much can be seen inside the house, what can be made out is that Mr. Zero is seen sitting at a table talking to a man who sits across from him*

[Mr. Zero:] So, you want to discuss a deal?

[Man:] I’ll get to that; I want to make sure that you’re the real deal. If you don’t mind, I would like to ask you a few questions.

[Mr. Zero:] What do you want to know?

*The man takes some time to examine Mr. Zero’s older and out of shape body with a uncertain look on his face*

[Man:] You don’t carry out the “job” yourself…do you?

*Mr. Zero laughs*

[Mr. Zero:] Of course not, do I look like a dog to you? That position is reserved for my favorite dog, I call her Agent 18.

[Man:] Agent 18, what happened to Agents 1 through 17?

*Mr. Zero smirks fiendishly*

[Mr. Zero:] Unfortunately, they all met their demise.

[Man:] “Demise”, huh? How come when you say that I think you had something to do with it?

[Mr. Zero:] You’re a clever one. Don’t get me wrong, their “termination” were all sudden, whether it was on the job or when I had to deal with them myself.

[Man:] I knew it, so you did play a hand.

[Mr. Zero:] Sometimes dogs need to be put down, disobedience is something I won’t tolerate. Agent 18 is by far my favorite of my dogs so far but I do plan ahead, just in case she needs to be put down I have an Agent 19 ready to be of service.

[Man:] This Agent 18, did she just sign up willingly?

[Mr. Zero:] Dogs don’t have a will of their own; they just obey their Master without a second thought, which is how I train my dogs.

[Man:] I’m sorry but can you explain?

[Mr. Zero:] Gladly. I pick up my Agents from foster homes, up to five at a time. Their ages range only from the toddler years that way I can mold their minds to my liking. During their growth I’m careful to shield them from anything that could alter my work, such as television and the outside world.

[Man:] Keeping them with a child mentality, that would be the way to go about it. What about education?

[Mr. Zero:] My Agents have the education of a high school graduate.

[Man:] Educated academically but socially…

[Mr. Zero:] Let’s just say that, if I released my Agents right now into society they wouldn’t know the first thing to do. They would be dead before the day is over. My dogs only know how to obey and remain loyal to their Master.

[Man:] What about emotions, surely they must feel terrible about the things they’re doing.

[Mr. Zero:] Emotions are another thing they are deprived of, I made sure to that. I also made sure that they are all killing machines; I paid for top of the line training which they engage in daily with no breaks.

*The Man takes a little time to think about the information about the Agents*

[Man:] So your Agents are all emotionless, deadly, academic, and socially handicapped drones?

*Mr. Zero smirks*

[Mr. Zero:] In other words, the perfect dog.

*The Man nods in agreement and satisfaction*

[Man:] Well, I’m convinced. You mind if I meet Agent 18?

[Mr. Zero:] Not at all, it’s her dinner time anyway.

*Mr. Zero grabs a plate that is on the table and grabs whatever scraps of food he can find from his seemingly massive meal from earlier which shows that Mr. Zero only provides his Agents just enough food so they won’t starve and not fill them for the day*

[Mr. Zero:] It’s right down here.

*Mr. Zero leads the Man down into the basement which resembles a holding cell, Agent 18 is seen resting inside the cell on the floor on a piece of cardboard*

[Man:] Nice setup.

*Mr. Zero bangs on the cell which wakes up Agent 18, she looks over and sees Mr. Zero and the Man standing on the outside of the cell*

[Agent 18:] Master…

[Man:] Wow, she even calls you “Master”.

[Mr. Zero:] Obedience.

[Man:] You got that right.

[Mr. Zero:] It’s dinner time.

*Mr. Zero uses a key to unlock the cell and places the plate of food scraps on the floor for Agent 18 to grab*

[Agent 18:] Thank you, Master.

*While Agent 18 eats the Man looks on*

[Man:] So this is Agent 18? When you were describing them I was expecting some huge, menacing looking individual. She’s gorgeous…I could do without the dirt and dried blood stains, though.

*The Man smirks*

[Man:] Tell me, is these assault assignments her only task…or does she have other “duties”?

*Mr. Zero knows what the Man is implying which makes him smile*

[Mr. Zero:] I have “professionals” for that.

[Man:] Ah, I see, makes sense.

*At this point Agent 18 finished eating and now stands up to be at Mr. Zero’s side*

[Mr. Zero:] Now that all your concerns are put to ease, can we discuss business?

*The Man nods in agreement*

[Mr. Zero:] Come with me, 18.

[Agent 18:] Yes, Master.

*Agent 18 follows Mr. Zero and the Man back upstairs, Mr. Zero and the Man return to their seats while Agent 18 stands by Mr. Zero’s side*

[Man:] A while back in Seattle I was in a tournament, I had a lot riding on my win and when I lost my reputation was completely ruined.

[Mr. Zero:] Who is the guy?

*The Man puts a suitcase on the table and opens it in front of himself and takes out a folder, the Man closes the suitcase and opens the folder and lays a photo on the table*

[Mr. Zero:] This is him?

[Man:] Sure is. That guy took everything from me and I want you to do the same to him.

*It is revealed that the photo is of Tyler Jett, the Man places 6 more photos on the table*

[Mr. Zero:] And who are they?

[Man:] I hear these are the people he is associated with now.

*The other photos are shown to be of Mark Spirals, Jayden Blayze, Nero Vayne, Heather Heaton, Rachel Sky and Hayley Storm*

[Mr. Zero:] Looks like this won’t be easy.

[Man:] I promise to make it worth your while.

*The Man opens the suitcase again and faces it towards Mr. Zero, Mr. Zero smiles widely at the incredibly large sum of money placed in front of him, The Man takes out a sheet of paper from the folder and hands it to Mr. Zero*

[Man:] That is where you can find them.

*Mr. Zero and the Man shake hands*

[Mr. Zero:] You have a deal.

*Mr. Zero now turns his attention to Agent 18*

[Mr. Zero:] Take a good look at these photos, 18.

*Mr. Zero shows Agent 18 Tyler Jett’s photo*

[Mr. Zero:] This is the one we’re after.

*Mr. Zero now shows Agent 18 the rest of the photos*

[Mr. Zero:] But if any of them interfere I want you to destroy them, you got that?

[Agent 18:] Yes, Master.

*Mr. Zero smiles*

[Mr. Zero:] Good.

*The scene closes with Agent 18 staring at all the photos with violent intent*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 4:49PM*

*The scene opens up in the Pitstop restaurant*

*Genesis X members Tyler Jett and Jayden Blayze are seen sitting with Jaysin Gage and Candice Valencia, the foursome are enjoying lunch and each other’s company*

[Candice Valencia:] So you guys were training again?

*Jayden talks between pizza bites, much to the disgust of his fellow dinners*

[Jayden Blayze:] Yup, Tyler said if we trained for three hours straight with no breaks then he’ll pay for my lunch.

[Candice Valencia:] Really?

[Tyler Jett:] Can’t believe I let myself get suckered into that. You think after training with this guy for these past few weeks I’ll remember about his stamina. I tell ya, he’s like a machine.

[Candice Valencia:] High stamina, huh? I’m sure there are a lot of girls here who would appreciate something like that. Right, Jayden?

*Jayden looks at Candice with a confused expression while having sauce and cheese stains on his face*

[Jayden Blayze:] What you mean?

*Candice lets out a disappointing sigh before she shakes her head as Tyler chuckles*

[Candice Valencia:] Never mind.

*Tyler notices Jaysin’s attention is elsewhere as he looks on in the distance*

[Tyler Jett:] Jaysin, something on your mind?

*Jaysin turns his attention to the group*

[Jaysin Gage:] It’s your teammate.

[Jayden Blayze:] Don’t worry Lil’ Jay-Jay, I’m bloated now but after another couple hours of serious training I’ll be good as new.

*Jaysin gets annoyed by Jayden’s comment*

[Jaysin Gage:] I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about…him.

*To be inconspicuous, Jaysin uses his eyes to motion to who he is referring to, the others also try to be subtle as they slighting tilt their heads in the direction Jaysin has motion to, all except Jayden who just turns his head in a very noticeable fashion, they all find out that Jaysin has been observing and talking about Genesis X member Nero Vayne, he is seen sitting several feet away by himself eating a cheeseburger, after watching him for a few moments the group all turn back*

[Tyler Jett:] Nero, huh.

*Jayden looks agitated*

[Jayden Blayze:] Why you thinking about him for?

[Tyler Jett:] I take it you two have met.

[Jaysin Gage:] Briefly. Even though our first meeting was short, I couldn’t help but get a strange feeling from him. It was unsettling.

[Tyler Jett:] He does have that effect.

[Candice Valencia:] Yeah, but it’s no reason for him to eat alone. We should invite him over.

[Tyler Jett:] I don’t think that’s a good idea.

[Jayden Blayze:] I don’t want that jerk over here.

[Jaysin Gage:] Reconsider, Candice.

[Candice Valencia:] Come on guys, don’t be mean. It could be fun.

*Candice stands and starts to wave her arm in Nero’s direction to get his attention, eventually Nero looks her way*

[Candice Valencia:] Hey cutie! Why don’t you come eat with us!?

*Nero scoffs at Candice before he finishes his last bite of cheeseburger, drinks the last bit of his soda and wipes his face with a napkin and walks right pass the group to exit the restaurant, Candice looks disappointed as she sits back down while Jayden looks annoyed*

[Candice Valencia:] Aww.

[Jayden Blayze:] Told you, he’s just a jerk.

[Tyler Jett:] You know what, this has to stop.

*Tyler gets up and puts money on the table*

[Tyler Jett:] That should cover everything.

[Jaysin Gage:] You don’t have to pay for Candice and myself.

[Tyler Jett:] It’s no problem.

[Jayden Blayze:] Where are you going?

[Tyler Jett:] To see if I could talk some sense in this teammate of ours.

*Tyler follows Nero out of the restaurant only to find that Nero is nowhere to be found*

[Tyler Jett:] Nero, I need to talk to you!

*After seeing that calling him out is not going to work he starts to search*

[Tyler Jett:] Man, where could he have gone?

*Tyler spends some time looking for his comrade but only finds several of the other University members; Tyler searches around in the park area of the campus as he continues to look for Nero, he keeps walking until he notices someone laying in some of the bushes nearly undetectable, Tyler goes over to the person out of curiosity, when he gets closer he sees that a young woman is laying face down on the grass looking as if she is fading away*

[Tyler Jett:] Hey! Wake up!

*Tyler starts to anxiously nudge the woman, he then turns her around on her back and the women is revealed to be Agent 18*

[Tyler Jett:] Come on, this isn’t funny! Get up!

*After a little more panic nudging Agent 18 finally shows signs of life as she lightly groans and starts to slowly opens her eyes, Tyler lets out a sigh of relief*

[Tyler Jett:] You’re alive, good.

*Agent 18 appears to extremely weak for some reason*

[Agent 18:] …g-ry.

[Tyler Jett:] What, what you said?

[Agent 18:] ……Hungry…so…hungry.

[Tyler Jett:] Hungry? Alright, stay right here, I’ll get you something.

*Tyler gets up and rushes back to the Pitstop, after a short while Tyler returns to the scene where Agent 18 is along with Jayden, Jaysin and Candice, Tyler is holding a ham and cheese sandwich which looks to be made with much haste and a bottle of water*

[Candice Valencia:] Oh my god. What happened to her?

[Tyler Jett:] I don’t know, I just found her like this. Here, take it.

*Tyler tries to hand Agent 18 the sandwich, she reaches out to take it but then suddenly pulls her hand back and refuses it*

[Tyler Jett:] Its fine, come on and take it.

[Agent 18:] …I…can’t.

[Tyler Jett:] What do you mean you can’t? Just take it.

[Agent 18:] …I can’t…my Master……I’m being punished.

[Tyler Jett:] Punished? Look, I don’t know what kind of crazy game you’re playing at but you’re not gonna die on my watch for it. Now take the damn sandwich!

*Even though her vision appears to be blurred she looks up at Tyler and then the sandwich, it seems that Mr. Zero has placed some type of punished upon Agent 18 which apparently included not eating but Agent 18 now has to decided whether to live or to die, Agent 18 chooses to disobey her Master for the first time and snatches the sandwich from Tyler and begins to eat it like there is no tomorrow, Tyler is relieved*

[Tyler Jett:] Thank goodness.

[Jayden Blayze:] Man, you think that she never had a sandwich before.

[Jaysin Gage:] It appears that she hadn’t had anything decent in a long time.

*Tyler notices that Agent 18 is eating the sandwich too fast*

[Tyler Jett:] Whoa, take it easy. You just dodged starving to death; you shouldn’t ruin it by choking. Here, wash it down with some water.

*Tyler hands Agent 18 the bottled water which she takes and drinks it all without stopping, Agent 18 has finished the foodstuffs given by Tyler as she now takes in deep breathes*

[Tyler Jett:] How you feeling?

[Agent 18:] …Better, thank you.

[Tyler Jett:] I couldn’t let you just die now could I.

*With her vision coming back Agent 18 looks up at Tyler’s face and realizes that her life has just been saved by the man she was supposed to destroy, in an attempt to redeem herself for Mr. Zero, Agent 18 reaches for Tyler’s throat, oblivious to her intentions, Tyler retracts his head and grabs the necklace he wears*

[Tyler Jett:] Hey, watch it. This necklace means a lot to me. Can you stand?

*After some light struggle, Agent 18 manages to get back on her vertical base*

[Candice Valencia:] I’ve never seen you around before. Are you visiting? Did you come with family or friends?

[Agent 18:] I arrived here with my Master?

[Jaysin Gage:] You spoke of this “Master” of yours earlier. What kind of Master would deprive their students of food as punishment?

*Jaysin has misinterpreted the meaning of “Master” in Agent 18’s context, Jaysin thought she meant Master as to student but she really means Master as to slave*

[Jayden Blayze:] What’s your name?

[Agent 18:] Agent 18.

[Jayden Blayze:] Agent 18? That’s a weird name.

[Tyler Jett:] Where is your Master now?

[Agent 18:] I don’t know, he left my side and shortly after I passed out here from hunger.

[Candice Valencia:] That’s so strange. We should get her to the Valentine Hearts Center so they can check her out.

[Tyler Jett:] That’s a good idea. Come on, let’s go. The Center isn’t too far from here.

*Tyler goes to grab Agent 18 by the arm to assist her as he assumes that she is still groggy from her near death experience but before he can do so a voice calls out*

[:] Don’t you touch my dog.

*The group turns around and sees Mr. Zero walking towards them, Agent 18 looks to be at ease now*

[Agent 18:] Master!

*Agent 18 rushes to Mr. Zero’s side*

[Tyler Jett:] Master?

[Mr. Zero:] 18, have you eaten?

*Agent 18 looks away from embarrassment and fear*

[Mr. Zero:] I told you were being punished and not allowed to eat anything for three days.

[Agent 18:] I’m sorry, Master.

[Mr. Zero:] Disobedience will not be tolerated!

*Mr. Zero uses his right hand, which has 3 rings on it, to slap Agent 18 across the face to the disgust and anger of the group*

[Tyler Jett:] Hey, what the hell is the matter with you!? Were you planning on letting her starve to death!?

*Mr. Zero sees that his target is standing right in front of him*

[Mr. Zero:] If you want to please me, then take out the target.

[Agent 18:] Yes, Master

*Agent 18’s face is slightly cut from the slap from Mr. Zero as some blood trickles down a bit from it, Agent 18 looks at Tyler with violent intent while he looks confused as well as the rest of the group*

[Tyler Jett:] Hey, what the-

*Before Tyler could finish his sentence Agent 18 charges in and takes advantage of Tyler’s confusion and punches him really hard in the face and knocks him on the ground, the rest of the group is in utter shock*

[Candice Valencia:] What do you think you’re doing?

[Jayden Blayze:] If it’s a fight you want then you got it!

*Jayden charges at Agent 18 wildly but before he can attempt any kind of attack she easily knocks him out with a swift kick to the head, now some of the University members are seen forming a circle around the scene to see what is going on, after a while a member is seen bringing Mark Spirals, Heather Heaton, Rachel Sky and Hayley Storm to the area so they can see what has happened, Rachel takes one look at her fallen friends and gasps in terror*

[Rachel Sky:] Jayden, Tyler!

[Hayley Storm:] What the hell happened here?

[University Member #1:] That old man and girl showed up and she just started fighting.

*Mr. Zero notices the other Genesis X members standing by and smirks*

[Mr. Zero:] Anyone who is allied with our target, Mr. Tyler Jett, and decides to interfere then you will be dealt with.

*Suddenly a rock is thrown and collides with Mr. Zero’s head, he kneels down in pain as he holds his head, Agent 18 looks concerned*

[Agent 18:] Master!

*Before Agent 18 can go to aid her Master, Nero Vayne steps through the crowd and onto the battlefield holding a rock, he then tosses it aside, Nero smirks*

[Nero Vayne:] That always seems to work.

*Figuring out that Nero threw the rock, Agent 18 looks enraged, the University members all look excited and relieved to see Nero*

[University Member #2:] Hey look! Nero’s here!

[University Member #3:] He’ll end this madness!

*The crowd starts up a “Nero” chant*

[Nero Vayne:] Don’t get me wrong, I’m not here for my so-called “teammates”. I’m here simply because you didn’t want anyone to get involved. You said don’t interfere so I’m interfering.

*Mr. Zero looks less than amused*

[Mr. Zero:] 18……destroy him.

[Agent 18:] Yes, Master.

[Nero Vayne:] Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you’re a girl. I’ll tear you apart like I would any other opponent.

*Agent 18 gets in a fighting stance*

[Nero Vayne:] Okay, before this is over you should tell me what flowers you want for you’re funeral so I can make sure to get the wrong ones.

*Agent 18 charges for Nero, when the 2 collide they start going blow-for-blow, Nero and Agent 18 seems to be fairly even for a while until Agent 18 punches Nero in the stomach and causes him to fall to his knees, Agent 18 then viciously kicks Nero in the arm making him scream out in agony, she then follows up with a punch to his face and knocks him out on the ground with his arm in bad shape, The University members look even more worried now that Nero has been taken out, Hayley looks infuriated now that her crush has fallen*

[Hayley Storm:] That’s it! I’M GONNA KICK YOUR FREAKING ASS!!

*Hayley goes to charge Agent 18*

[Tyler Jett:] Stop!

*Hayley stops suddenly, Tyler is seen slowly getting back to his feet, when he gets back up he wipes the blood away from the corner of his mouth which was caused by Agent 18’s punch*

[Tyler Jett:] You said I’m the target, right? I don’t know why your guys want to take me out and I don’t care. If you want me then you’re gonna have to come and take me.

[Mr. Zero:] You heard him, 18. Take him.

[Agent 18:] Yes, Master.

*Tyler and Agent 18 engage in combat, Tyler looks to be doing better than Nero did as he is able to land in a few shots of his own on Agent 18, after a while Agent 18 gets the upper-hand and lays in brutal shots to Tyler’s face, legs, and ribs, eventually Agent 18 pins Tyler down on the grassy ground and has her forearm pressed against his throat, Agent 18 lifts her free arm high and prepares to deliver the finishing blow as Tyler braces himself and closes is eyes, a few seconds pass by and suddenly water starts to drip on Tyler’s face, Tyler opens his eyes and sees that the water is actually tears coming from Agent 18, Tyler looks confused, Agent 18 releases Tyler and they both get back to their feet, Mr. Zero looks upset*

[Mr. Zero:] What the hell are you doing, 18!? Finish him!

*Agent 18 wipes the tears from her face to properly speak to Mr. Zero*

[Agent 18:] I’m sorry, Master, but I cannot harm him any further. This man saved my life from definite starvation. When it came to these missions I acted with zero hesitation and obeyed your every command for all the years I’ve been of service to you. All I ask, Master, is to please allow me to disobey this one command…I beg of you!

*Everyone in the crowd, including the conscious Genesis X members all look on with concern and sympathy for Agent 18 and her heartfelt plea, Mr. Zero smiles*

[Mr. Zero:] …Fine, you don’t have to hurt him anymore.

*Agent 18 and the rest of crowd look relieved*

[Agent 18:] Thank you, Master.

*Suddenly a gunshot is heard, Mr. Zero appears to have fired the gun and the shot found it’s mark inside of Agent 18’s stomach, Agent 18 has a face that features more shock than pain*

[Agent 18:] ……M-M-Master…w-why?

*Agent 18 coughs up blood before she collapses on the ground much to the horror of everyone in the crowd some even scream in fright, Mr. Zero shakes his head in disappointment*

[Mr. Zero:] Such a shame. I knew this day would come, it always does.

*As Mr. Zero continues to speak Tyler is getting madder and madder*

[Mr. Zero:] First you disregard your punishment and now this. You’ve really disappointed me, you were my favorite dog.

*Tyler keeps looking at the fallen Agent 18 as her blood starts to spread out on the grass, Tyler then looks at Mr. Zero with rage*

[Tyler Jett:] You bastard.

[Mr. Zero:] Excuse me?

[Tyler Jett:] How could you do that? She follows you every command down to the last letter and you shoot her? You don’t deserve her loyalty!

*Tyler now charges for Mr. Zero who tries to shoot him but his gun jams which gives Tyler the perfect opportunity to hit him with a shining enzuigiri and knocks him out, some of the crowd members makes sure to keep him pinned down so he cannot move*

[University Member #4:] We got him, he’s not going anywhere.

[University Member #5:] I’ve called the police, they should be here soon.

[Tyler Jett:] Good, thanks.

*Tyler and the rest of Genesis X, including the now conscious Nero and Jayden, go over to Agent 18*

[Hayley Storm:] What should we do?

[Nero Vayne:] I know exactly what to do.

*Nero walks over to Agent 18 as he holds onto his partially-injured arm, when he gets to her he hovers his foot over Agent 18’s head, Tyler shoves Nero away after figuring out what he was about to do*

[Tyler Jett:] What is the matter with you!?

[Nero Vayne:] What is the matter with you!? Did you forget that she almost killed you?

[Tyler Jett:] But she didn’t, we have to help her.

[Nero Vayne:] What!?

[Rachel Sky:] I agree. We should hurry and get her to the Valentine Hearts Center.

[Tyler Jett:] Right.

*Tyler picks up Agent 18 and carries her in his arms as he rushes to the Valentine Hearts Center while Mark, Heather, Jayden, Rachel and Hayley follows close behind, Nero looks on with disbelief and frustration but he follows behind in a distance, the scene now comes to a close*

*TO BE CONTINUED*

[reckless101]

*Time: 5:30*

*2 days have passed since the events of the arrival of Mr. Zero and Agent 18 occurred*

*The scene opens up inside the Valentine Hearts Center, the medical center of the Next Era Wrestling University, the Center is owned by one of the Legendary Elite 15, Valerie Valentine*

*Agent 18 is seen sitting up on a hospital bed, she is wearing a sports bra provided to her by the Center to compress and aid in healing and comfort she is also wearing large taping around her waist and stomach where she has been shot, Agent 18 looks emotionless as she stares at her wound, a few moments later the youngest daughter of Valerie, Nurse Kim Valentine, enters the room she is holding a tray of easy edible food, she places the tray in front of Agent 18*

[Kim Valentine:] Here you go, lunch is served. Eat up.

*Kim waits for Agent 18 to start eating but she does not, Agent 18 only stares at the food, even though she lacks emotion in her face Kim cannot help but sense a depressed vibe coming from her, Kim sighs*

[Kim Valentine:] You have to eat something.

[Agent 18:] ……Where’s my Master.

*Kim looks surprised as this is the first time Agent 18 has spoken since being checked in*

[Kim Valentine:] You mean that old geezer who shot you? You don’t have to worry about him, he’s long gone.

*Kim says this with a smile on her face like she is giving good news but in actuality it is the worse news Agent 18 could ever receive, her only source of shelter and food is now gone, her anxiety shows in her facial expression which Kim picks up on*

[Kim Valentine:] Hey, what’s wrong? This is good news, he can’t hurt you anymore.

[Agent 18:] …Why did you save me?

[Kim Valentine:] To be technical, Tyler was the one you brought you here. If anyone should take the credit for saving you it’s him. To not be so technical, we saved you because that is what we do here. I have to admit, after what you tried to do you’re not my most favorite patient but we help anyone who checks in here no matter who they are or what they’ve done. It’s my mom’s philosophy and all doctors and nurses live up to that belief at every single angle.

*Agent 18 continues to look disheartened, Kim starts to look annoyed*

[Kim Valentine:] What is wrong with you? You know, with all things considering, you shouldn’t be even speaking right now. The least you can do smile.

*Agent 18 keeps her look, how can she smile if after she checks out she has absolutely no where to go or nothing to live for, unaware of Agent 18’s worries Kim looks even more irritated, after a few seconds Tyler Jett enters the room*

[Tyler Jett:] Hey, you mind if I talk to her for a few?

[Kim Valentine:] Okay, sure. I give up on her anyway.

*Kim exits the room to leave Tyler and Agent 18 alone, Tyler looks at Agent 18 who is still looking at her tray of food with her blank stare before he takes the seat right beside her bed, a few awkward seconds passes by*

[Agent 18:] ……That nurse said you’re the one responsible for saving my life.

*Tyler looks a little embarrassed as he scratches the back of his head*

[Tyler Jett:] She did? Well, I guess that makes twice now, huh. Can you tell me something?

*Agent 18 looks over at Tyler*

[Tyler Jett:] Why were you with that guy? It seems all he ever does is treat you like dirt. Who is he to you?

[Agent 18:] He’s my Master.

*Tyler sighs*

[Tyler Jett:] What’s your story?

[Agent 18:] Story?

[Tyler Jett:] Yeah, how did you meet this so-called “Master” of yours?

[Agent 18:] I don’t remember anything about my family. I was told my parents were killed in a car accident when I was young and forced to live in an orphan home. Soon after, I was adopted by my Master. He hired trainers to teach me how to fight and instructors to school me at a high school graduate’s level of education. As the years passed, I was commanded by my Master to complete missions.

[Tyler Jett:] Let me guess, these “missions” involved you injuring others so you’re “Master” could gain a profit, right?

[Agent 18:] Correct. I’ve done this as long as I can remember. I complete these missions in exchange for food and shelter and if I fail I receive punishments for my incompetence.

[Tyler Jett:] That arrangement sounds much like one a slave owner would make.

*Agent 18 is silent*

[Tyler Jett:] Did you like doing those things?

[Agent 18:] I’ll do anything to please my Master.

[Tyler Jett:] Yeah, I get that but even you have to know what you were doing was immoral.

[Agent 18:] I was taught that emotions were for the weak. I’ve lived without such thoughts.

*Tyler lets out a disappointing sigh*

[Tyler Jett:] I see…I don’t suppose that you were given the necessary skills to live on your own then.

*Agent 18 shakes her head, Tyler looks sadden to see that someone could be depraved of so much, Tyler feigns a smile as he tries to change the subject from Agent 18’s heartbreaking life*

[Tyler Jett:] You know they said you could leave today.

*Agent 18 looks less than enthused*

[Tyler Jett:] That’s actually the reason I came; I wanted to escort you out.

*Agent 18 keeps her look, Tyler grabs a white T-shirt which has the Valentine Hearts Center logo on the front center and gives it to Agent 18*

[Tyler Jett:] Put that on then we can leave.

*Agent 18 does what Tyler says and puts on the shirt slowly to keep from aggravating her injuries, afterwards Tyler hands Agent 18 her shoes so she can put them on which she does*

[Tyler Jett:] Ready?

*Agent 18 nods*

[Tyler Jett:] Alright, let’s go.

*Agent 18 follows behind Tyler much like she would to Mr. Zero, when the duo gets to the waiting room they see rest of Genesis X, even Nero Vayne, waiting for their return, Nero looks disgruntled to see Agent 18*

[Rachel Sky:] I’m glad to see you’re feeling better, Agent 18.

[Jayden Blayze:] Yeah, some people said you weren’t going to make it.

*Everyone, except Nero, looks happy to a healthy Agent 18, Agent 18 does not know how to respond to this*

[Heather Heaton:] Well then, shall we get going?

*Genesis X and Agent 18 following close behind of Tyler exits the Center, the rest of Genesis X walks further so Tyler could talk to Agent 18 once more*

[Tyler Jett:] Guess this is goodbye. You be good.

*Tyler goes to catch up with up with his teammates and leaves Agent 18 behind*

[Agent 18:] Wait!

*Tyler turns to face Agent 18*

[Tyler Jett:] Yeah?

[Agent 18:] Punish me!

*All Genesis X members looks confused*

[Tyler Jett:] What?

[Agent 18:] I’ve caused you nothing but grief since the moment I arrived, I deserve to be punished for my actions.

[Rachel Sky:] There’s no need for th-

[Tyler Jett:] Alright.

*The rest of Genesis X looks shocked at Tyler’s statement*

[Rachel Sky:] What?

[Jayden Blayze:] You can’t be serious.

[Tyler Jett:] I’m very serious. She’s right, she almost ended my career, if she wants to be punished then I’ll be happy to oblige.

*Agent 18 puts her hands behind her back to show she will not resist*

[Tyler Jett:] Brace yourself.

*Agent 18 shuts her eyes and prepares herself for the worse, Tyler charges right for her, Agent 18 hears him getting closer and closer, all of a sudden there is silence, Agent 18 opens her eyes and sees that Tyler is standing right in front of her putting the necklace he used to have around his neck around Agent 18’s, after he is done he looks her right in eyes and smiles*

[Tyler Jett:] Take care.

*As their eyes continues to meet Agent 18’s eyes starts to twinkle, Tyler then starts to make his way back to the group, Agent 18 grabs at the necklace as she remembers Tyler’s words about it*

[Agent 18:] What is this?

*Tyler turns back around*

[Tyler Jett:] It’s a gift.

[Agent 18:] A gift? Why are you giving me this, I thought this meant a lot to you.

[Tyler Jett:] It does mean a lot to me, but that’s the only kind of gift that’s worth giving, right?

*Upon hearing this Agent 18 decides she does not want to leave Tyler’s side, Agent 18 suddenly gets on her hands and knees and bows her head much to the shock of Genesis X*

[Agent 18:] Please, allow me to accompany you. I have nowhere to go. I vow to be a loyal and obedient servant.

*Tyler raises an eyebrow*

[Tyler Jett:] Loyal and obedient servant? I’m not interested in any servants, sorry.

*Agent 18 is disappointed as she bows her head further onto the ground, when Agent 18 looks up she sees Tyler standing above her and extending his hand out for her*

[Tyler Jett:] But a friend, now no one can have too many of those.

*Agent 18’s eyes starts to twinkle again as she looks at Tyler’s smiling face, she takes Tyler’s hand and lets him help her back to her feet, Tyler looks back to Heather*

[Tyler Jett:] Hey Heather, you still need to recruit a member right?

*Heather smiles*

[Heather Heaton:] I like where this is going.

[Tyler Jett:] How about her?

[Heather Heaton:] Let’s see.

*Heather walks up to Agent 18 and gently caresses her facial features, even though Agent 18 does not understand it or even notice it she starts to blush, when she is done Heather looks into her eyes and smiles*

[Heather Heaton:] Okay, you’re cute enough, you’re in.

[Tyler Jett:] Wow, that’s some processing phase.

[Heather Heaton:] I like it too.

*Nero suddenly walks up to Agent 18*

[Nero Vayne:] I’m not as forgiving as they are. I fully intend to pay you back for what you TRIED to do to me. You can count your sad, pathetic life on it.

*Nero walks and passes by, Agent 18 knew she was being threatened and only did not retaliate because she was not commanded to*

[Tyler Jett:] Don’t worry about him too much. Let’s get to your new home.

*The seemingly new formed Genesis X group enters the Rest Hold hotel; Tyler uses his all access keycard to open a vacant hotel room, Tyler and Agent 18 enter, Tyler leads her to the bedroom*

[Tyler Jett:] This is your new home. The fridge is fully stocked; you got a bathroom and anything else you need for the time being.

*Agent 18 looks confused*

[Agent 18:] Where should I rest?

[Tyler Jett:] What do you mean? On the bed of course.

[Agent 18:] On the bed?

[Tyler Jett:] Sure, it is yours. Enjoy.

[Agent 18:] …It’s been so long since I slept in a bed.

*Tyler gets a little sadden by Agent 18’s last statement but he smiles to lighten the mood*

[Tyler Jett:] Well, you can really sack out on this thing. You rest up and I’ll check on you in a while.

[Agent 18:] Yes……Master.

*Tyler looks shocked as he raises his eyebrows*

[Tyler Jett:] Whoa, whoa, whoa. None of this “Master” business okay.

*Agent 18 looks confused*

[Agent 18:] What would you like for me to refer to you as then?

[Tyler Jett:] How about Tyler, it is my name.

*Agent 18 looks embarrassed at the thought of calling Tyler by his given name*

[Agent 18:] I mustn’t.

*Tyler sighs*

[Tyler Jett:] Well call me whatever you want, except “Master”.

[Agent 18:] As you wish……Captain.

[Tyler Jett:] I guess that’ll do until you adjust and decide to call me by name.

*Tyler goes to exit the room but suddenly comes back*

[Tyler Jett:] By the way, what is your name?

[Agent 18:] My name?

[Tyler Jett:] Yeah, it can’t really be “Agent 18”…could it?

[Agent 18:] You want to know my real name?

[Tyler Jett:] Yeah, you do have one right?

[Agent 18:] Yes.

*Agent 18 takes a pause*

[Tyler Jett:] Did you forget it or something?

[Agent 18:] I remember it…it’s just nobody has ever asked me for my real name before………Creed…my name is Shay Creed.

*Tyler smiles*

[Tyler Jett:] That’s a pretty sweet name. Well Shay, you better rest up because today is the first day of the rest of your life. This is the start of your brand NEW life.

[Shay Creed:] My…brand new life?

[Tyler Jett:] That’s right. You don’t have to live by your old methods anymore so get ready.

*Tyler exits the hotel room to leave Shay to reflect on the events that changed her life forever, the scene comes to a close with Shay collapsing comfortably on her bed*

*END*

[reckless101]

*Time: 2:34PM*

*The scene opens up in the Front Office building inside the office of Next Era Wrestling President, Marshall Wallace and Rose Garden Wrestling President, Claire Summers, the 2 Presidents are seated behind their desk, Tyler Jett and Shay Creed are seen standing in front of the desks of the Presidents, the foursome seems to be in the middle of a discussion*

[Claire Summers:] Have you completely lost your mind?

[Marshall Wallace:] Did you fully consider this?

[Tyler Jett:] To answer both questions, no and yes. I’m telling you, Shay can prove to be a very valuable asset to the University.

[Claire Summers:] Just tell me how hard you hit your head. You seem to be completely forgetting what almost happened to you because of her.

*Shay starts to get an irritated facial expression because her self-proclaimed “Captain” is currently being yelled at*

[Marshall Wallace:] Maybe if you let us discuss this further we ca-

[Claire Summers:] There is no discussion here, Wallace. There is no way I’m admitting her into this University. We are just starting up and I’m not going to compromise our tender status for anything, especially for someone who tried to seriously injure one of our members, it’s ridiculous!

*At this point, Shay gets even more angry now that Claire has raised her voice even further at Tyler*

[Shay Creed:] Stop yelling at him!

*Tyler and Marshall looks at Shay shocked and confused while Claire looks heated*

[Claire Summers:] Excuse me? What did you just say?

*Tyler turns to Shay to calm her down*

[Tyler Jett:] It’s okay Shay.

[Shay Creed:] But-

[Tyler Jett:] It’s fine.

*Tyler gives Shay a reassuring smile which makes her eyes twinkles a bit before she regains her composure and nods at Tyler in understanding*

[Claire Summers:] You see!? This is EXACTLY what I’m talking about. That kind of behavior cannot be tolerated.

*Tyler smiles*

[Tyler Jett:] Well, Jayden doesn’t act too differently and we all found a way to put up with him.

*Claire looks even more annoyed*

[Claire Summers:] I cannot believe you’re trying to be funny. Like I just said, this isn’t up for discussion.

[Marshall Wallace:] Miss Shay, do you want to compete here?

*Shay looks at Marshall in acknowledgement but she does not answer his question for some reason, Claire looks agitated at this, even though whatever answer Shay gives it will not convince her she still does not like the disrespect she is displaying*

[Claire Summers:] He’s asking you a question. Answer him.

*Shay looks at Claire angrily then back at Marshall before looking at Tyler, after a few seconds the puzzled Tyler figures out what Shay is waiting for*

[Tyler Jett:] Go ahead Shay, you can answer.

*Shay nods at Tyler in understanding before facing Marshall again*

[Shay Creed:] I will go wherever my Captain wants me to.

*Marshall and Claire look perplexed while Tyler lets out a sigh*

[Tyler Jett:] Shay, could you step out for a while so I could talk to the Presidents?

[Shay Creed:] Yes, Captain.

*Shay exits the office*

[Marshall Wallace:] Captain?

[Tyler Jett:] It’s a long story but this is why I want her to stay here. She has no idea how to live on her own. If you kick her out she could put not only herself but possibly others in danger. I’m sorry, but I can’t let that happen. Yes, she had a perfect chance to put me away but she didn’t, that right there has to tell you that she didn’t like what she was doing even if she doesn’t know it. She is a grown woman with the mentality of a child; she needs the guidance that she never got the chance to receive. Please, just allow me this one chance, I promise you won’t be sorry.

*Marshall looks over at Claire, since a woman was being evaluated it is solely Claire’s responsibility to decide what happens to her, Claire places her face in her palms and sighs heavily before she looks back up at Tyler*

[Claire Summers:] ……Fine, she can stay…for now this is a probationary period. She is exclusively YOUR responsibility, if she does anything to diminish the reputation we’re trying to build then YOU will take the heat. Is that clear?

*Tyler smiles as he does not care out the possible disciplinary acts he is risking he only cares about the fact that he now can change a person’s life for the better*

[Tyler Jett:] Crystal.

[Claire Summers:] Good. I suppose the highlight of all this is that the team is finally finished.

[Marshall Wallace:] Be sure to tell the rest of your teammates that we will be holding a ceremony to celebrate the formation of Genesis X tomorrow.

[Tyler Jett:] Will do.

*Tyler exits the office and meets up with Shay who is standing besides the door waiting*

[Tyler Jett:] Looks like you’re officially in, congratulations.

[Shay Creed:] Thank you, Captain.

[Tyler Jett:] Can you at least try to call me “Tyler”?

*Shay gets slightly red in the face at the thought*

[Shay Creed:] I mustn’t.

*Tyler sighs*

[Tyler Jett:] Well, forget that for now. Let’s grab a bite to eat, I’m starving.

*Tyler leads the way out of the Front Office building while Shay follows close behind*

*THE NEXT DAY*

*Time: 4:09*

*The scene opens up on the park area of the NEW University Campus*

*A stage has been set up in the middle of the park and on it stands NEW President Marshall Wallace, RGW President Claire Summers and the 8 Genesis X members, all the University members have appeared to have gathered for this event, Marshall and Claire are both holding microphones so they can communicate to the vast crowd*

[Marshall Wallace:] Welcome everyone! As all you all know, President Summers and I have asked two of our members to form a team to represent us all.

[Claire Summers:] Today is a celebration as that team has finally been formed. Now please allow us introduce you all to team Genesis X!

*All 8 Genesis X members take a single step forward*

[Marshall Wallace:] First up is Co-Captain Mark Spirals!

*Mark smiles to the crowd as they give him a nice ovation*

[Claire Summers:] Next is Co-Captain Heather Heaton!

*Heather winks to the crowd as they give her a great reception, some of the male members even give her cat calls which makes her smile*

[Marshall Wallace:] Tyler Jett!

*Tyler gives the crowd a two-finger salute as they give him an applause, some of the female members are even screaming out his name*

[Claire Summers:] Rachel Sky!

*Rachel waves to the crowd as they give her pleasant approval*

[Marshall Wallace:] Jayden Blayze!

*Jayden poses for the crowd but no one claps for him, there is an utter awkward silence, Jayden gets angry as he takes Marshall’s microphone*

[Jayden Blayze:] You guys really should start showing me some respect. You’re looking a future Legend! BELIEVE IT!

[University Member:] You suck!

*The crowd now starts to laugh at Jayden’s expense which really gets him enraged*

[Jayden Blayze:] WHAT!? WHO SAID THAT!? COME ON AND SHOW YOUR FACE YOU COWARD! I’LL STOP YOU INTO THE GROUND, I’LL-

*Claire signals at Marshall to take the microphone away from Jayden which he manages to do after some struggling on Jayden’s part*

[Claire Summers:] Okay, moving on.

*After a few more moments the crowd quiets down*

[Claire Summers:] Hayley Storm!

*Hayley gets in a fighting pose with a smile for the crowd as they give her a round of applause*

[Marshall Wallace:] Nero Vayne!

*The entire crowd explodes for Nero which is the loudest ovation thus far; the entire crowd starts to chant his name while Nero looks out to them and shakes his head looking unappreciative*

[Claire Summers:] And…Shay Creed!

*Claire was a bit hesitant as is the rest of the crowd; they still seem to be skeptical about Shay after considering what happened when she first arrived but after a while they give her a decent applause, Shay does not know how to react to this so she looks at Tyler who signals for her to nod at them which she does*

[Marshall Wallace & Claire Summers:] Meet Genesis X!!

*The scene closes with the crowd applauding for the Genesis X team as a whole*

*END OF SEASON 1 “GATHERING THE TROOPS”*

[reckless101]

*GENESIS X (SEASON 2: BONDS)*

*Time: 6:20AM*

*The scene opens a few yards off of the Next Era Wrestling University Campus.*

*The sun is slowly rising as Rachel Sky is seen jogging while listening to her iPod with it on an armband. Rachel finishes her jog as she makes her way back to campus. As she gets closer, Rachel sees someone on campus sitting on a bench; the person is in perfect view of the sunrise and appears to be drawing. Rachel continues to get closer but slows down a bit as she starts to see who the person is, she unplugs her earphones and pockets her iPod.*

[Rachel Sky:] Is that…?

*Rachel reenters University grounds and it is now clear that the person is Nero Vayne. Nero is not aware of Rachel’s presence as he continues to draw in his sketch book, once Rachel sees that the person is actually the person she thought she smiles.*

[Rachel Sky:] I knew that was you.

*Nero flinches a bit before he looks up at Rachel. Nero shakes his head as he goes back to his drawing.*

[Rachel Sky:] Um…good morning. How come you’re up so early?

[Nero Vayne:] …I could ask you the same thing.

[Rachel Sky:] Oh, I always jog around this time. If you’re interested, I’m up to seven miles.

[Nero Vayne:] I’m not.

*Rachel frowns a bit but she immediately perks back up because she realizes how close she is on being the first to engage in an actual conversation with the most anti-social member of the University. Rachel takes the seat next to Nero, to his annoyance, and leans in a bit to see what he is drawing, she is surprised to see that Nero is drawing an abstract picture.*

[Rachel Sky:] Huh?

*Nero sighs in exasperation.*

[Nero Vayne:] Do you mind?

[Rachel Sky:] Oh, I’m sorry.

*Rachel backs up and sits back in her seat.*

[Rachel Sky:] It’s just that I saw you drawing on my way back to campus and since you have such a great view I thought you were drawing the sunrise, but instead you’re drawing an abstract.

*Nero continues to draw. Feeling as if she insulted Nero is some way, Rachel gets a look of embarrassment on her face and she speaks with much haste as she wants to quickly correct herself.*

[Rachel Sky:] *Hasted tone* I’m not saying it’s not a great drawing, it’s beautiful, it’s just not what I was expecting.

*Nero continues to draw, Rachel comes to the conclusion that it is not what she said but the fact that Nero is forcing himself to ignore her, this causes Rachel to continue to push Nero to converse.*

[Rachel Sky:] This is kind of funny. You come off as a loner, who likes to act coldly towards others and yet you have this sensitive side.

*Nero continues to draw.*

[Rachel Sky:] …So…do you have a title?

[Nero Vayne:] …

*Rachel looks disappointed and is close to giving up as she prepares to leave Nero alone.*

[Nero Vayne:] …No.

*Rachel looks shocked since she was finally able to get an honest and productive word out of Nero, she is able to maintain her composure in hopes of starting a conversation.*

[Rachel Sky:] Really, why not?

[Nero Vayne:] I never titled anything I ever drew.

[Rachel Sky:] Is it because you couldn’t come up with a title?

[Nero Vayne:] No, I just never do.

[Rachel Sky:] So you can title them if you wanted to then.

[Nero Vayne:] …I guess.

[Rachel Sky:] And do you-

[Nero Vayne:] I have to go.

*Rachel looks disappointed.*

[Rachel Sky:] Home come? We were having such a nice conversation.

*Nero stands up out of his seat, places his sketch book under his arm, and pockets his drawing and colored pencils before he replies to Rachel.*

[Nero Vayne:] Mostly because you smell like sweat.

*Rachel gets incredibly red in the face with embarrassment as Nero walks off. Rachel stands up and begins to hurry back to her room for a shower but she stops and looks back at Nero who is off in the opposite direction, she smiles as she is satisfied with the valuable information she was able to get from him. The scene fades out with Rachel entering the Rest Hold hotel and Nero walking towards the Pitstop restaurant.*

*END*
