Orochi Geese's Funeral

Post by OrochiGeese on Oct 27, 2011 16:25:23 GMT -5
*We fade into a packed but silent crowd in the Universal Battle Chamber of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena. There is eerie synthesized piano music playing in the background while the Battle-Tron has "Welcome to Orochi Geese's funeral" in calligraphic writing on the screen.
There is a black casket, lined with gold, on the floor of the entrance ramp that has consumed everyone's disgusted attention. On the top of the casket is an upside down Orochi symbol in white gold.
The backstage curtain opens up and five men walk to the ring: four of them with their own will: Jakob of Furis, James Ward, Kyle Walker, and Jason Hyde. Furis has a red shirt under his black suit but Jason and Kyle are wearing all black similar to what Kyle wore when he announced this event. James Ward is wearing a "tuxedo shirt" with a top hat. Sergeant Drake Yoshida is among these men but clearly not on his own volition. He is being pushed down the ramp by James and Furis.
Kyle and Jason get on one side of the casket while Furis and James get on the other. They lift it and walk it down to ringside, then slide it into the middle of the ring. Then they walk up the stairs and pass through the ropes single file. They each stand in the four corners of the ring with Drake leaning up against the ropes but too scared to try to escape.
Kyle gets a microphone and laughs bitterly at the crowd's disgusted reaction.*
[Kyle:] "No, we didn't murder Geese. For those self-professed 'smart' fans of UBL who still haven't caught on, tonight is just symbolic. But that doesn't mean the actual casket is empty."
*James opens the casket and we see pictures of Geese's career along with the GWF TV Title and FPCPP World Championship Title belts.*
[James:] "Hey Goro, if you're watching this, you may want to turn away."
*Furis smiles as James Ward takes out a lighter and hands it to Kyle. He ignites it and throws it into the casket. The four stand in silence, to an unsettled crowd, as everything inside the casket burns. Drake looks angry but is doing his best not to draw their attention to his own reaction. Then Kyle closes the casket and kick slides it onto the floor.*
[Kyle:] "Fire has been said to cleanse the spirit but Geese is far too corrupted for even a conflagration like this to save his soul. All we can hope to do is burn away all remnants of his place on this Earth."
*James leans over the ropes and spits on the casket.*
[Kyle:] "Now you're all probably wondering, just what exactly brought this ceremony on? Was I just being an arrogant son of a bitch and decided we kicked so much ass at Battle Formation that we could come out here and claim that Geese is dead? No. "
[James:] "We did kick ass though."
[Kyle:] "That's besides the point. We didn't bring tonight on, Geese did. Last month he had a cordial meeting in his hospital room, the room we sent him too, with none other then Arthur Wingate and, get this, Ruby Moreno."
*The crowd's volume amps up considerably.*
[Kyle:] "You're right to be surprised. Geese had no heat with Arthur but Moreno? How the hell could those two be in the same room without a fight? And yet, there was no violence. Barely any shouting from what Agent 0 told me. Why was that, you ask?
Cause that son of a bitch Geese just sold every one of you out to escape us."
*There are very confused and concerned murmurs throughout the crowd now.*
[Kyle:] "You're sitting in an arena that is now obsolete. Arthur Wingate is the new owner of UBL and is taking it to England. OG-Joshi? Moreno bought it for Destiny in California. Geese sold his original pride to the woman who wanted to destroy it, the woman who has attacked Robin on numerous occasions. And Orochi-O's? The way he made all his money? He sold that poison too.
And now that we've talked about why Geese is dead to each and every one of us, we're now up to my favorite part of the night, the eulogies. I hope you all got some tissues handy. Especially you, Drake. Try to hold it together you sycophantic son of a bitch."
*Kyle slaps Drake who takes it without any further reaction.*
[Kyle:] "But no funeral is complete without some mood setting music. And I'd like to thank the Rapbots for this fitting 'remix' of Geese's entrance theme. After Matt Rivers' elitism got them fired, they wanted some retribution against the UBL. Cue the music. "
*Kyle passes the microphone to James who wipes his eyes as if he was crying.*

*The crowd is on their feet, not believing what they have just seen! Orochi Geese is back and looks incredibly healthy given the physical and mental injuries he sustained this year. Kyle, James, and Jakob are furious!
James Ward leaves the ring and charges the ramp but doesn't realize Marauder has just come out from behind Geese! James is flattened by the "Inertian Hammer" lariat!! Then Goro Yamashita comes out, to much applause, and helps Marauder drag James to the back!*
*Geese raises his microphone as Kyle seethes in the ring.*
[Geese:] "Rumors of my demise...*Geese smirks* have been greatly exaggerated. I am Orochi Geese and no one, NO ONE, beats me into submission. No one makes me quit. While Kyle has managed to collect some measure of truthful information, he does not have the whole story. You'll all be given that shortly. But first, I think there's something you need to see, Kyle."
*The Battle-Tron turns on to show the infamous picture of the injured Holly at the end of OG-FPD Ragnarok from 2010.*
*Kyle starts shaking the ropes in anger as he protests having to see this again.*
[Geese:] "I don't like reliving that either, but I show it to make a point. For months we were all under the impression that there was no footage in addition to that grisly image. But that is no longer the case. The mystery has been solved.
During our meeting, Miss Moreno informed me that in addition to her 'activities' at the end of Night 1 of Ragnarok, her security team placed hidden cameras inside of all the major locker rooms. Normally, I would have been enraged at that invasion of privacy but I thanked her for the resulting image she turned over to me. I have verified that it was not edited in any way by her, Gauntlet, or Destiny. We now know Robin's attacker, Kyle. So to begin rebuilding a bridge, I have turned him over to you for proper retribution. "
*Kyle's anger dies down a little and is replaced by curiosity. He looks around and laughs.*
[Kyle:] "Did we take your vision too, Geese? There ain't anyone guilty here!"
[Geese:] "Ahh, it is quite a shame that the Jinchuu screening process wasn't stricter."
*Geese points to the Battle-Tron and snaps his fingers, causing the picture to change.*
*Humanity doesn't yet have warp drive but Kyle may have just moved at the speed of light to pounce on Jakob of Furis. He starts clawing and biting the downed vampire with reckless abandon and then begins kneeing him in the face. The crowd is unsure how to react to the nightmarish viciousness of this attack in light of the severity of Furis' specific actions and overall behavior.*
[Geese:] "You get 10 more seconds for true Jinchuu against the proper target."
*Kyle continues brutalizing the defenseless Furis who has not raised a hand to stop this. Rather, he has smiled from ear to ear since the footage was shown. After another 10 seconds, Geese raises his hand in an apparent signal. Matt Rivers and Luke Kisiera run down to ringside and, with the help of Drake Yoshida, drags Furis out of the ring. While they prevent Kyle from leaving the rign for a further attack, Furis shrugs off the attack, gets a microphone, and starts cackling.*
[Furis:] "Your sister always called me a joke. Valker! And that tape you showed me of Geese giving me a concussion was doctored! It vas Holly that initiated the whole thing! But it vas her attempt to paralyze Jean Carter at Ragnarok that made up my mind. Holly had to be dealt with. Your Jinchuu was just a convenient cover. But it is over, as is my use for you."
*Kyle tells him to bring it on and Jakob laughs, actually enjoying this.*
[Geese:] "You're 'velcome' to try, Furis, but you don't want to fight a pissed off Walker."
*Furis pushes Matt and Luke away and gets BACK into the ring, but his attempted offense is immediately snuffed by the power Kyle derives from his near psychotic rage. Furis bites Kyle but is immediately tackled to the ground and elbowed in the head. But Furis, despite not being able to get control of Kyle, doesn't appear to feel the pain of the attack. He even verbally taunts him saying: "Your Jinchuu was forged by the blood I harvested." Kyle grabs him by the throat and starts squeezing, cutting off Furis from speaking (or breathing) any more. Geese claps his hands which send Matt and Luke into the ring to knock Kyle off Furis. They once again drag Furis out of the ring but this time, MJC has run down with Dr. Schassberg. The doctor injects Furis with a needle and Furis immediately calms down and is dragged backstage by the four. He even smiles in an almost goofy way and screams out: "I AM A MIGHTY VAMPIRE! FEAR THE MIGHTY FURIS!" The crowd seems to lighten up a bit at that as even MJC smiles at his altered state of mind.*
*Kyle is about to leave the ring to pursue but Geese clears his throat. As a result, Kyle's attention is immediately directed back to him.*
[Geese:] "It is improper for the host of such a formal occasion to leave early. I'll thank you to stay put."
[Kyle:] "What is this, Geese? What the hell are you pulling?"
[Geese:] "Simply telling the truth and clearing up everything that has happened...and everything that will. You were correct earlier. As of January 2012, I will no longer be the owner of all I have built. Last week I sold everything substantial attached to my name."
*The crowd is silenced immediately. Geese even looks at them with legitimate concern as if all of them had just dropped dead.*
[Geese:] "Controlling the Universal Battle League over the past four years was a labor of love and pride. But in January, the Universal Battle League will be operated in England under the ownership and guidance of Sir Arthur Wingate. He has impressively accomplished his stated goal in record time: Bringing the UBL back under the Wingate banner. I am thankful that he has decided to keep Drake Yoshida on in his current Sergeant role. And I am confident that Arthur will do a far better job in emphasizing the core values of UBL, sport and competition, then I did due to my obsession with violence and megalomania. Speaking of megalomania...
OG-Joshi has been sold to the Destiny Organization, under the operation of Ruby Moreno. *The crowd starts booing vociferously* I am fairly certain that she and the Reyes family will merge OG-Joshi and LAWL into a unified whole. *The crowd actually cheers a bit at that* As for those who are concerned about the new power Ruby has, I am reminded of the words of a wise Elwood Allen.
He once said that you can't take over the world by owning a wrestling promotion.
At the time I took that as an affront to my legacy and abilities but he was right. I found out the hard way that by attempting to conquer the world, you make way too many enemies to ever rule anything for very long. And even worse, if you spread your arms too widely to control the world, you must necessarily loosen your grip on what matters most to you. Ruby may be the next direct beneficiary of that knowledge if she truly believes her guiding light of destiny is brighter then the sun."
*Kyle is staring a hole through Geese but is unable to form any words, almost transfixed by what Geese is saying and the implications.*
[Geese:] "Finally. I have sold my Orochi-O's Inc. cereal company to the wealthy Mills Family for top dollar. While I have no particular connection to them, absent Thomas' lackluster UBL career, they are simply a deep pocket for me to maximize my sale profit. And so right now I have more money then an ordinary man would know what to do with. Luckily, I am far from ordinary and have always been well equipped for making intelligent purchases when necessary."
[Kyle:] "Necessary to benefit yourself and only yourself."
[Geese:] "I did not sell everything to make myself more wealthy, Kyle. My business were a gold mine and produced wealth far greater in the long run then the lump sums that I received in each sale. My money has increased but my capital has decreased."
[Kyle:] "Spare me the economics lesson. I meant benefit yourself to avoid facing Jinchuu."
[Geese:] "No. I needed the money for a higher and common purpose. Kyle, have you ever heard of Super NOVA?"
*Kyle reacts through disgust and rolling his eyes.*
[Kyle:] "Don't start on Robin's space sh*t. She wasted her time as a kid looking into the useless science of the stars rather then the reality on Earth. Look at the results!? It corrupted her mind so people like you could manipulate her."
[Geese:] "Your fear and ignorance of rational enlightenment is charming as always. But I refer specifically to a wrestling promotion named Super NOVA. They have a device called the WrestlerTron 10,000."
*A picture of the WrestlerTron appears on the Battle-Tron,*
[Geese:] "While I am insufficiently learned in the physical sciences to fully understand its processes, its goal is to locate any individual who has ever wrestled in a ring. Ever. Even someone who only wrestled once in my promotion and left: promising never to...return."
*"Fields of Fantasy" come onto the speakers as the former OG-Joshi General, Celes, walks onto the ramp. The crowd is in an absolute frenzy of excitement now but Kyle is practically shootingspinning tenzan eye lasers.*
*After the handshake, they share a knowing expression of respect. Kyle is enraged at the sight of the woman who 'broke' his sister.*
[Kyle:] "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THIS!? Do you have Jo Ryder backstage too!? What about Jeremiah Jones?"
[Geese:] "No to the latter two questions. As to the former, I used one third of my new fortune to purchase the right to temporarily use and overclock the WrestlerTron to find Celes. It proved quite difficult but I suppose I have you to partially thank for my success. As luck would have it, my recent stay at the hospital afforded me enough time to reflect on how I knew Celes from my past. Just as I had to hit rock bottom in 2003 before she contacted me the first time, I had to hit rock bottom again for my memories of her to became clear. Once they did, I was enveloped in a sense of shock and an even deeper shame that I ever disrespected her in the manner I did last year. But even more forcefully, I realized she was the answer to many of my questions as she has been so many times in the past."
[Kyle:] "Then, as usual, you were asking the wrong questions."
[Geese:] "Not this time, Kyle. Because Celes is gifted as a healer. I do not know how she did it, I probably never will. But aided by my newfound money, she was able to cure Jeff Monroe. He can walk again. The money used to cure him plus that which I gave his struggling family amounted to the second "one third" portion of the OG-FPD sale money. Now, as for the final 1/3 of my money, it was needed to augment Celes' other project. One that would, in time, solve both of our problems."
[Kyle:] "Vomiting from the sight of her is rarely a long term cure to a problem."
[Geese:] "Fittingly, I do believe there will be an outpouring now, Kyle, but it won't be from the mouth. If it wasn't for Celes... *an actual tear rolls down Geese's cheek* then this might not ever have been able to happen."
*If the crowd was in a frenzy for Celes' return, they blew the roof off the place for the woman who now walks through the ramp and pumps her fists up in celebration. Ladies and gentlemen, Robin "Holly" Walker has entered the arena! She encourages the cat calls from the audience due to her rather immodest wardrobe (and natural color hair). She then hugs and passionately kisses Geese to a deafening reaction.*
*She shakes Celes hand and actually hugs her too (which surprises everyone). Kyle is in disbelief to see his sister and seemingly ignores her displays of affection for his enemies. He has tears in his eyes to see her healthy. Robin runs down the ramp and hugs Kyle who looks like he can't believe what is happening. Geese and Celes slowly walk closer to the ring as Geese raises his microphone again.*
[Geese:] "Now for the hard part. I know Robin's healthy return may not change anything between us, Kyle. But if you are willing to consider putting an end to our hostilities, then I will too. Do understand that I just sold all my possessions in service of the woman we both love."
*Robin begs Kyle to agree to this as Geese walks into the ring, flanked by Celes. Robin tries to join Geese and Kyle's hand together but Kyle pulls his away before contact. He looks conflicted and apologizes to Robin. But he firmly shakes his head no at Geese.*
[Kyle:] "No deal. All you did was just put back what you took away. It's still your fault she was injured and I'm not about to forgive and forget just cause you threw your corrupt money at a problem to make it go away. You're the real problem here. So we're not done, Geese. You can't ever be in her life again cause she'll just end up in another coma because of you. I can't let that stand."
*Geese considers this and shakes his head knowingly. He smiles at Robin and gestures, making it clear he has no intention to attack Kyle.*
[Geese:] "I suspected as much. Then it is only right to inform you of one more health augmentation. Despite your efforts, I am now back to full strength thanks to the abilities of Celes. However, her treatment came on the grounds that I only wrestle one... more... match."
*The crowd buzzes at this and Geese nods to them, confirming what he said.*
[Geese:] "I will grant you one final sporting chance to put your hatred of me behind you, Kyle. After that, I can not guarantee what will happen between us. Robin has not rejected me despite your Jinchuu rationale nor has she fully denounced your actions despite her love for me. By us fighting for an indefinite period of time, we will hurt her far worse then we will each other.
So just as I gave you an additional ten seconds to enact justice on Furis, I will grant you the chance for one final match against me. I make that offer in the hopes that we can both let the extent of our anger out and then leave it all in the ring. If you accept this opportunity, it will take place on the last show I will ever run: The final show that will be held under the Orochi-O's owned, OG-FPD umbrella.
December 13th, 2011...the eighth anniversary of OG-FPD on a show called "Immortal."
Even though my wrestling career and and ownership will be over after that show, the promotions and wrestlers will move on and evolve. My legacy is not dead, Kyle. It encompasses the values and skills our wrestlers have learned here and the entertainment that the fans have derived. it reflects the lessons of what happens when people lose sight of their priorities....but then regain them in the nick of time.
And that's what Immortal is about, Kyle. Regaining our priorities and respecting those we care about. On that note, Drake and Jean will choose the final UBL and OG-Joshi Championship matches. Ruby Moreno has even agreed to defend her OG-Joshi World Title before it becomes her own property through Destiny. She is actually willing to lose what she could have 100% control over by January. And as recognition of that gesture of respect toward us, I am allowing LAWL wrestlers to compete for their OMG Title at Immortal. This show is about recognizing what all three of these promotions have meant to its wrestlers and fans over the last decade."
*Kyle fidgets a bit and Geese smiles.*
[Geese:] "I did not forget you, Kyle, but you will have to be patient for another few moments before I dispense some further advice. And if there's one quality of yours that the strategist in me admires,it's patience. *Geese smirks* I have never seen someone hold in their hatred for so long and hatch a year long campaign like the one you did against me. So rest assured, your patience will pay off. We will be facing each other in the main event of Immortal in what I am formally announcing as my final match."
*The fans give a collective "oooooh". Some chants of "Please Don't Go" and "Good riddance, jerkface!" (we're close to NJ) are heard.*
[Geese:] "To my fans and fellow wrestlers in FPCPP, I have already contacted Commissioner Terry Butcher with my decision to retire. I also informed him about my plans to take the danger of Furis off his hands through means you saw earlier. My belated thanks to HTIMan for coming to my aid in January and my congratulations to him for defeating Furis on the Jar. I appreciate FPCPP's desire to fast track that match so that HTIMan could finish his rivalry with Furis before I got to him.
That my final real match in FPCPP was with Julian Caesaro is an honor for me. But my final match ever has to be with you, Kyle. Not to beat you, not to injure you, but to prove to you that the very passion and conviction I fight with is the same I bring to my relationship with Robin.
Kyle, what you are up against...I am sorry to say, is invincible. Through my own desires and the guidance of Celes...*Geese grins* and Thunder Strike, I no longer have any priorities besides making your sister happy. I care no longer for Title reigns or grudges, for legacies or philosophies. I care only for her. You need to ask yourself what matters more: her happiness or your strict expectations for her. We all look forward to your answer. Just remember that Jinchuu can't truly exist as long as this woman smiles on me as well as you."
*Kyle's face is red and his body is shaking as if his nerves are in over drive. He appears ready to pounce on Geese like he did to Furis, but looks at Robin's scared expression and thinks better of it. So he simply leaves the ring. Robin looks worried about him and Geese motions for her to go and help him. She smiles and kisses Geese again, which causes the audience to roar with applause, which further agitates Kyle. Robin then exits the ring and escorts Kyle up the ramp which cheers him up after the emotional roller coaster of the last few minutes. Geese then addresses the audience with Celes standing next to him with a look of pride.*
[Geese:] "In the coming weeks, the full lineup for Immortal will be announced. Tonight started with a funeral and appears to have actually become a bigger one, but do not misunderstand. This is a not an end, but a new beginning for all of us. A new start for wrestlers who wanted, and deserved, their fair chances to show their skills: like the noble woman next to me always begged me to give them. It is finally time for Illumination as she and Jean Carter envisioned it. This will be a new start for wrestlers distracted by violence. A new start for relationships mired by diversions. Immortal will allow the best of us to accomplish feats that will live forever, and the worst of us to change our ways as this woman knew all of us could do. Even Jakob of Furis. Even Robin and Kyle Walker. Even Orochi Geese..
Immortal will transform OG-FPD from action to spirit. We look forward to seeing you there.
*Geese gives Celes the microphone.*
[Celes:] "The true Orochi Geese has returned to us. Please give him your support."
*The crowd does just that as they give the two a standing ovation as they start to walk to the back. Halfway down the ramp, they are met by Mr. Clyde and Mr. Figaro who embrace Geese and carry him on their shoulders up the ramp to the back. The scene fades.*
There is a black casket, lined with gold, on the floor of the entrance ramp that has consumed everyone's disgusted attention. On the top of the casket is an upside down Orochi symbol in white gold.
The backstage curtain opens up and five men walk to the ring: four of them with their own will: Jakob of Furis, James Ward, Kyle Walker, and Jason Hyde. Furis has a red shirt under his black suit but Jason and Kyle are wearing all black similar to what Kyle wore when he announced this event. James Ward is wearing a "tuxedo shirt" with a top hat.

But it vas her attempt to paralyze Jean Carter at Ragnarok that made up my mind. Holly had to be dealt with. Your Jinchuu was just a convenient cover. But it is over, as is my use for you."
*Kyle tells him to bring it on and Jakob laughs, actually enjoying this.*
[Geese:] "You're 'velcome' to try, Furis, but you don't want to fight a pissed off Walker."
*Furis pushes Matt and Luke away and gets BACK into the ring, but his attempted offense is immediately snuffed by the power Kyle derives from his near psychotic rage. Furis bites Kyle but is immediately tackled to the ground and elbowed in the head. But Furis, despite not being able to get control of Kyle, doesn't appear to feel the pain of the attack. He even verbally taunts him saying: "Your Jinchuu was forged by the blood I harvested." Kyle grabs him by the throat and starts squeezing, cutting off Furis from speaking (or breathing) any more. Geese claps his hands which send Matt and Luke into the ring to knock Kyle off Furis. They once again drag Furis out of the ring but this time, MJC has run down with Dr. Schassberg. The doctor injects Furis with a needle and Furis immediately calms down and is dragged backstage by the four. He even smiles in an almost goofy way and screams out: "I AM A MIGHTY VAMPIRE! FEAR THE MIGHTY FURIS!" The crowd seems to lighten up a bit at that as even MJC smiles at his altered state of mind.*
*Kyle is about to leave the ring to pursue but Geese clears his throat. As a result, Kyle's attention is immediately directed back to him.*
[Geese:] "It is improper for the host of such a formal occasion to leave early. I'll thank you to stay put."
[Kyle:] "What is this, Geese? What the hell are you pulling?"
[Geese:] "Simply telling the truth and clearing up everything that has happened...and everything that will. You were correct earlier. As of January 2012, I will no longer be the owner of all I have built. Last week I sold everything substantial attached to my name."
*The crowd is silenced immediately. Geese even looks at them with legitimate concern as if all of them had just dropped dead.*
[Geese:] "Controlling the Universal Battle League over the past four years was a labor of love and pride. But in January, the Universal Battle League will be operated in England under the ownership and guidance of Sir Arthur Wingate. He has impressively accomplished his stated goal in record time: Bringing the UBL back under the Wingate banner. I am thankful that he has decided to keep Drake Yoshida on in his current Sergeant role. And I am confident that Arthur will do a far better job in emphasizing the core values of UBL, sport and competition, then I did due to my obsession with violence and megalomania. Speaking of megalomania...
OG-Joshi has been sold to the Destiny Organization, under the operation of Ruby Moreno. *The crowd starts booing vociferously* I am fairly certain that she and the Reyes family will merge OG-Joshi and LAWL into a unified whole. *The crowd actually cheers a bit at that* As for those who are concerned about the new power Ruby has, I am reminded of the words of a wise Elwood Allen.
He once said that you can't take over the world by owning a wrestling promotion.
At the time I took that as an affront to my legacy and abilities but he was right. I found out the hard way that by attempting to conquer the world, you make way too many enemies to ever rule anything for very long. And even worse, if you spread your arms too widely to control the world, you must necessarily loosen your grip on what matters most to you. Ruby may be the next direct beneficiary of that knowledge if she truly believes her guiding light of destiny is brighter then the sun."
*Kyle is staring a hole through Geese but is unable to form any words, almost transfixed by what Geese is saying and the implications.*
[Geese:] "Finally. I have sold my Orochi-O's Inc. cereal company to the wealthy Mills Family for top dollar. While I have no particular connection to them, absent Thomas' lackluster UBL career, they are simply a deep pocket for me to maximize my sale profit. And so right now I have more money then an ordinary man would know what to do with. Luckily, I am far from ordinary and have always been well equipped for making intelligent purchases when necessary."
[Kyle:] "Necessary to benefit yourself and only yourself."
[Geese:] "I did not sell everything to make myself more wealthy, Kyle. My business were a gold mine and produced wealth far greater in the long run then the lump sums that I received in each sale. My money has increased but my capital has decreased."
[Kyle:] "Spare me the economics lesson. I meant benefit yourself to avoid facing Jinchuu."
[Geese:] "No. I needed the money for a higher and common purpose. Kyle, have you ever heard of Super NOVA?"
*Kyle reacts through disgust and rolling his eyes.*
[Kyle:] "Don't start on Robin's space sh*t. She wasted her time as a kid looking into the useless science of the stars rather then the reality on Earth. Look at the results!? It corrupted her mind so people like you could manipulate her."
[Geese:] "Your fear and ignorance of rational enlightenment is charming as always. But I refer specifically to a wrestling promotion named Super NOVA. They have a device called the WrestlerTron 10,000."
*A picture of the WrestlerTron appears on the Battle-Tron,*
[Geese:] "While I am insufficiently learned in the physical sciences to fully understand its processes, its goal is to locate any individual who has ever wrestled in a ring. Ever. Even someone who only wrestled once in my promotion and left: promising never to...return."
*"Fields of Fantasy" come onto the speakers as the former OG-Joshi General, Celes, walks onto the ramp. The crowd is in an absolute frenzy of excitement now but Kyle is practically shooting
*After the handshake, they share a knowing expression of respect. Kyle is enraged at the sight of the woman who 'broke' his sister.*
[Kyle:] "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THIS!? Do you have Jo Ryder backstage too!? What about Jeremiah Jones?"
[Geese:] "No to the latter two questions. As to the former, I used one third of my new fortune to purchase the right to temporarily use and overclock the WrestlerTron to find Celes. It proved quite difficult but I suppose I have you to partially thank for my success. As luck would have it, my recent stay at the hospital afforded me enough time to reflect on how I knew Celes from my past. Just as I had to hit rock bottom in 2003 before she contacted me the first time, I had to hit rock bottom again for my memories of her to became clear. Once they did, I was enveloped in a sense of shock and an even deeper shame that I ever disrespected her in the manner I did last year. But even more forcefully, I realized she was the answer to many of my questions as she has been so many times in the past."
[Kyle:] "Then, as usual, you were asking the wrong questions."
[Geese:] "Not this time, Kyle. Because Celes is gifted as a healer. I do not know how she did it, I probably never will. But aided by my newfound money, she was able to cure Jeff Monroe. He can walk again. The money used to cure him plus that which I gave his struggling family amounted to the second "one third" portion of the OG-FPD sale money. Now, as for the final 1/3 of my money, it was needed to augment Celes' other project. One that would, in time, solve both of our problems."
[Kyle:] "Vomiting from the sight of her is rarely a long term cure to a problem."
[Geese:] "Fittingly, I do believe there will be an outpouring now, Kyle, but it won't be from the mouth. If it wasn't for Celes... *an actual tear rolls down Geese's cheek* then this might not ever have been able to happen."
*If the crowd was in a frenzy for Celes' return, they blew the roof off the place for the woman who now walks through the ramp and pumps her fists up in celebration. Ladies and gentlemen, Robin "Holly" Walker has entered the arena! She encourages the cat calls from the audience due to her rather immodest wardrobe (and natural color hair). She then hugs and passionately kisses Geese to a deafening reaction.*
*She shakes Celes hand and actually hugs her too (which surprises everyone). Kyle is in disbelief to see his sister and seemingly ignores her displays of affection for his enemies. He has tears in his eyes to see her healthy. Robin runs down the ramp and hugs Kyle who looks like he can't believe what is happening. Geese and Celes slowly walk closer to the ring as Geese raises his microphone again.*
[Geese:] "Now for the hard part. I know Robin's healthy return may not change anything between us, Kyle. But if you are willing to consider putting an end to our hostilities, then I will too. Do understand that I just sold all my possessions in service of the woman we both love."
*Robin begs Kyle to agree to this as Geese walks into the ring, flanked by Celes. Robin tries to join Geese and Kyle's hand together but Kyle pulls his away before contact. He looks conflicted and apologizes to Robin. But he firmly shakes his head no at Geese.*
[Kyle:] "No deal. All you did was just put back what you took away. It's still your fault she was injured and I'm not about to forgive and forget just cause you threw your corrupt money at a problem to make it go away. You're the real problem here. So we're not done, Geese. You can't ever be in her life again cause she'll just end up in another coma because of you. I can't let that stand."
*Geese considers this and shakes his head knowingly. He smiles at Robin and gestures, making it clear he has no intention to attack Kyle.*
[Geese:] "I suspected as much. Then it is only right to inform you of one more health augmentation. Despite your efforts, I am now back to full strength thanks to the abilities of Celes. However, her treatment came on the grounds that I only wrestle one... more... match."
*The crowd buzzes at this and Geese nods to them, confirming what he said.*
[Geese:] "I will grant you one final sporting chance to put your hatred of me behind you, Kyle. After that, I can not guarantee what will happen between us. Robin has not rejected me despite your Jinchuu rationale nor has she fully denounced your actions despite her love for me. By us fighting for an indefinite period of time, we will hurt her far worse then we will each other.
So just as I gave you an additional ten seconds to enact justice on Furis, I will grant you the chance for one final match against me. I make that offer in the hopes that we can both let the extent of our anger out and then leave it all in the ring. If you accept this opportunity, it will take place on the last show I will ever run: The final show that will be held under the Orochi-O's owned, OG-FPD umbrella.
December 13th, 2011...the eighth anniversary of OG-FPD on a show called "Immortal."
Even though my wrestling career and and ownership will be over after that show, the promotions and wrestlers will move on and evolve. My legacy is not dead, Kyle. It encompasses the values and skills our wrestlers have learned here and the entertainment that the fans have derived. it reflects the lessons of what happens when people lose sight of their priorities....but then regain them in the nick of time.
And that's what Immortal is about, Kyle. Regaining our priorities and respecting those we care about. On that note, Drake and Jean will choose the final UBL and OG-Joshi Championship matches. Ruby Moreno has even agreed to defend her OG-Joshi World Title before it becomes her own property through Destiny. She is actually willing to lose what she could have 100% control over by January. And as recognition of that gesture of respect toward us, I am allowing LAWL wrestlers to compete for their OMG Title at Immortal. This show is about recognizing what all three of these promotions have meant to its wrestlers and fans over the last decade."
*Kyle fidgets a bit and Geese smiles.*
[Geese:] "I did not forget you, Kyle, but you will have to be patient for another few moments before I dispense some further advice. And if there's one quality of yours that the strategist in me admires,it's patience. *Geese smirks* I have never seen someone hold in their hatred for so long and hatch a year long campaign like the one you did against me. So rest assured, your patience will pay off. We will be facing each other in the main event of Immortal in what I am formally announcing as my final match."
*The fans give a collective "oooooh". Some chants of "Please Don't Go" and "Good riddance, jerkface!" (we're close to NJ) are heard.*
[Geese:] "To my fans and fellow wrestlers in FPCPP, I have already contacted Commissioner Terry Butcher with my decision to retire. I also informed him about my plans to take the danger of Furis off his hands through means you saw earlier. My belated thanks to HTIMan for coming to my aid in January and my congratulations to him for defeating Furis on the Jar. I appreciate FPCPP's desire to fast track that match so that HTIMan could finish his rivalry with Furis before I got to him.
That my final real match in FPCPP was with Julian Caesaro is an honor for me. But my final match ever has to be with you, Kyle. Not to beat you, not to injure you, but to prove to you that the very passion and conviction I fight with is the same I bring to my relationship with Robin.
Kyle, what you are up against...I am sorry to say, is invincible. Through my own desires and the guidance of Celes...*Geese grins* and Thunder Strike, I no longer have any priorities besides making your sister happy. I care no longer for Title reigns or grudges, for legacies or philosophies. I care only for her. You need to ask yourself what matters more: her happiness or your strict expectations for her. We all look forward to your answer. Just remember that Jinchuu can't truly exist as long as this woman smiles on me as well as you."
*Kyle's face is red and his body is shaking as if his nerves are in over drive. He appears ready to pounce on Geese like he did to Furis, but looks at Robin's scared expression and thinks better of it. So he simply leaves the ring. Robin looks worried about him and Geese motions for her to go and help him. She smiles and kisses Geese again, which causes the audience to roar with applause, which further agitates Kyle. Robin then exits the ring and escorts Kyle up the ramp which cheers him up after the emotional roller coaster of the last few minutes. Geese then addresses the audience with Celes standing next to him with a look of pride.*
[Geese:] "In the coming weeks, the full lineup for Immortal will be announced. Tonight started with a funeral and appears to have actually become a bigger one, but do not misunderstand. This is a not an end, but a new beginning for all of us. A new start for wrestlers who wanted, and deserved, their fair chances to show their skills: like the noble woman next to me always begged me to give them. It is finally time for Illumination as she and Jean Carter envisioned it. This will be a new start for wrestlers distracted by violence. A new start for relationships mired by diversions. Immortal will allow the best of us to accomplish feats that will live forever, and the worst of us to change our ways as this woman knew all of us could do. Even Jakob of Furis. Even Robin and Kyle Walker. Even Orochi Geese..
Immortal will transform OG-FPD from action to spirit. We look forward to seeing you there.
*Geese gives Celes the microphone.*
[Celes:] "The true Orochi Geese has returned to us. Please give him your support."
*The crowd does just that as they give the two a standing ovation as they start to walk to the back. Halfway down the ramp, they are met by Mr. Clyde and Mr. Figaro who embrace Geese and carry him on their shoulders up the ramp to the back. The scene fades.*
