***The scene opens at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, Ontario, Canada where an ambulence has just rushed into the emergency lane and has screeched to a stop at the main doors. The driver rushes out of his door and runs to the back, and unlocks the door. Two more medical technicians spill out of the back and wheel an elderly man is rushed inside the hospital and straight into a room to see a doctor. Minutes later we see a doctor come running down the long hallway, and he turns hard to get into the room with the full head of steam that he had built up. The curtain is then pulled around the bed as the doctor calls for the electronic paddles, and yells out CLEAR! A loud zapping sound is heard, and this procedure is repeated three more times. The curtains part at the middle, as the doctor walks out with a saddened look on his face as he walks to the receptionist. He whispers something in her ear, and she hurriedly picks up the phone and dials a number.

The scene cuts to a bedroom of a rather large house, in a Barrie suburb, where a telephone rings. A man is seen running into the bedroom and answering the phone on the third ring. He listens on the reciever, and its the hospital calling. The man listens to the woman on the other side of the line explain to him that his father had a rare disease where air bubbles form inside the body, therefore taking over in the bloodstream, and eventually invading the heart, causing it to rapidly stop. The man is completely in shock and falls to his knees and breaks down into tears. He hangs up the phone and walks into the next room where his family is sitting, and breaks the news to them. The family (Wife, Son and Daughter) share a big hug with the man, as the scene fades out, which just goes to show you, something as small as an air bubble can invade a bloodstream, almost as easily as a former federation of wrestlers can invade a new company. This has also showed that invasions are all around us, but more importantly, within the IoA.

After this brief interlude, the scene opens to the Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where a man that has been missing for nearly a full week has been spotted. IoA wrestler, "Too Xtreme" Eric Badger is seen walking towards the departure gate for an international trip. Some wrestling fans that know who he is stop and stare as he walks by them, but none have the courage to walk up and shake his hand. He continues toward gate 10 and sits down in a chair, next to a young child and who seems to be his young mother. Eric, being the bashful gentlemen that he is outside of the ring, works up the courage and introduces himself to the woman.***

TXEB - Excuse me Miss, are you heading to Milwalkee too?

Woman - Yes I am, my son and I are going on a vacation for a few weeks, isn't that right Josh?

Josh - Yeppers momma! Hey, I know you! You're that wrestler..."Too Xtreme" right?

TXEB - Yes I am! Are you a fan little buddy?

Josh - I sure am! I've never been to a live show before though...mom doesn't think I'm old enough.

TXEB - Well, thats a good part by her. She knows what's best for you, so you better listen. (Eric shoots a smile at the direction of the mom)

Josh - Well Mr. Xtreme, I'd love to go to the Milwalkee show for the IoA, do you have any tickets?

Woman - Josh! That's awfully rude of you! Apologize to him right now!

TXEB - Oh that's alright, he doesn't have to, in fact, how would the two of you like to be my guests at the show? I could show you around backstage, introduce you to some of my friends, and go out for a bite to eat after the show maybe?

Woman - Well, I don't know...I don't really know you...

Josh - Oh Mom please!! That would make my year!

Woman - Well, okay, but if I change my mind about any of this you have to obey me young man.

Josh - (sighs) Okay Mom, I will.

TXEB - Great! This is going to be a blast for the both of you! By the way Miss, what is your name if you don't mind me asking?

Woman - My name is Laura, and yours? Or is there a secret wrestler code that you can't tell your name to people?

TXEB - (laughs) I get that quite a bit, but for the record, my name is Eric, Eric Badger to be exact.

Flight Attendant over PA - Now Boarding, flight 145 from Toronto to Milwalkee, Wisconsin, repeat, Now Boarding flight 145 from Toronto to Milwalkee, Wisconsin report to gate 10 immediately.

*Eric and Laura together* -  That's our flight!

***Eric and Laura both smile at each other and grab their carry-on bags. They walk toward the gate as Josh runs ahead of them down the hallway. He gets on the plane, along with Laura and Eric, and strangely enough, their seats are all together on the left side of the plane. Eric has the window seat, but gives it up for young Josh to have to look out the window. The plane prepares for takeoff as Eric and Laura being talking to one another again. The plane rips down the runway and takes off into the air as the scene fades to black.***
