The scene opens to show the current Crimson Glory Champion
Falcon, walking through a field. Resting on his right shoulder is his pet falcon
Talon. As Falcon walks around his approached by his former manager and ex
girlfriend Troy.
FALCON: What in the hell are you doing
here Troy, you know I don't want you around this place.
TROY: Well Falcon, as your manager
I think that I should know where you are at all times.
FALCON: Well you know Troy. I've been
thinking about that. Since you know how I feel about you, why don't you and I
make a deal.
TROY: What kind of deal?
FALCON: This week at Quell, I'll allow
you to be in my corner. If I win then allow you to return full time as my
manager, but if I lose you and I will go our separate ways for good.
TROY: So let me get this straight. You
let me be in your corner for your match this week against Devon Stevens and if
you win I'm your manager again?
FALCON: That's what I said. So are you
interested in that offer or are you just going keep trying to play your little
games?
TROY: You know what Falcon. I'll take
you up on that offer. You are a hell of a lot better then Devon Stevens. In my
opinion he is a lost soul trying to find his way. There is no doubt in my mind
that you can beat him. This Thursday at Quell when you destroy Devon Stevens...
FALCON: Troy, Devon is part of Seek and
Destroy. I won't be destroying him in the ring.
TROY: Falcon if you walk into the match
with that attitude Devon with annihilate you. This match has nothing to do with
the fact that you and Devon are both in Seek and Destroy. It has everything to
do with the fact that he wants your Crimson Glory Championship. If you go in
holding back, Devon will beat you from one end of the ring to the other. Plus
are you completely sure that you can trust him?
FALCON: I trust Predator's judgment and
Predator trusts Devon. But you are right Troy, this match is entirely about my
Crimson Glory Championship. In a way I am pissed that my first defense is
against a fellow SnD member, but what can I do?
TROY: Kick poor Devon Stevens ass and
send a message to the CMW. Let the bookers and wrestlers know that Falcon is not
a push over. Over the last few weeks you have been on one hell of a run. Ever
since you landed in Mexico you have been unstoppable. You and Excalibur
humiliated the Icons. Then you and Predator absolutely destroyed Joker and
Monoxide. Hell since that match no one has seen or heard from Monoxide.
FALCON: Then there was last week when I
was forced into the match with Darrel Music against Excalibur and Chad Colombo.
TROY: Well that is Phil Styles for you,
the man thinks he's the biggest thing in this fed. If he wasn't one of the
executives he would have had his ass handed to him long before know. But I
wouldn't worry about old Mr. Styles right now, if I were you I would focus on
Devon Stevens challenge this week at Quell.
FALCON: You know what Troy, once again
you are correct. I can't dwell on the past or focus to much on the future. One
thing I do know is that somewhere down the road, my path will cross Darrel
Music's. When that day comes I will once again beat his ass from one side of the
arena to the other. But for the moment I will put my focus on beating Devon
Stevens and retaining my Crimson Glory Championship. I will not rest until I
have beaten Predator's record as the longest reigning Crimson Glory
Championship. I am nearly a third of the way there. And it's like you said Troy,
over the last few weeks I have been on one hell of a role. At this time in my
career I feel unbeatable.
TROY: I wouldn't get to confident
Falcon, you know as well as anyone that things can change in a moment. Hell you
have gone through more then your fair share of slumps.
FALCON: Don't you think I know that? But
you should know better then anyone else in this world? You should also know that
I don't dwell on the past.
TROY: Speaking of the Past. I've noticed
over the last few days that your old Trinity partner Archangel has been trying
to get his job back.
FALCON: You know what Troy, who cares. I
could care less if he gets back in. I thought he was someone I could trust to be
there when I needed him, but he packed his bags and walked out on me. All I have
to say is that if the CMW decides to let him back in I want him first. He and I
have several issues I want to address. So Troy, you seem to be well informed,
what can you tell me about these "European Rules" that have been set for my
match?
TROY: I am still looking into that for
you. I am trying my best to find out if there is an actual European Rules Rule
book. The moment I do I will tell you what I know.
FALCON: Are you telling me that I may
have no idea what the rules are going in?
TROY: Unfortunately. But I don't think
that you'll have much to worry about, after all you are fighting Devon Stevens.
Who I think is the weakest link in Seek and Destroy. I swear Falcon if you lose
to Devon Stevens you should consider calling it a career.
FALCON: You know what Troy, if I lose to
Devon Stevens that means that you have to sign the papers nullifying our life
time contract.
TROY: So are you saying that you are
going to throw the match?
FALCON: You really don't now me anymore
do you? You should now that winning means everything to me. I would never throw
a match just to make my life more convenient. The way I see it I am going to
give Devon Stevens my all, if I lose I lose. I win then I am stuck with you.
TROY: That is true.
Falcon then reaches in his pocket and pulls out a chunk of
meat. He hands the meat to Talon. Talon then soars off of Falcon's shoulder and
disappears over some trees.
TROY: You still let him fly free?
FALCON: He's the reason I bought the
Sanctuary. Well Troy, I have to get going. I'm making a stop home before I hit
New Orleans. See you at Quell.
TROY: Yeah see you at Quell.
Falcon then walks away. Troy watches him for several moments
before pulling out her cell phone. She dials a number then begins to talk.
Through the miracle of modern science we are able to hear the voice on the other
end.
VOICE: Hello?
TROY: Johnny its me. I just wanted you
to know that bird boy took the bait.
JOHNNY: I told you he would. So where is
the "Great and all Powerful" Falcon?
TROY: Gone to catch a plane back to
Canada.
JOHNNY: I had a feeling he would do
something like that. I'll have to beat him there and lay the seeds of suspicion
when he tries to explain this to my sister.
TROY: That you do. Anyway I am going to
head for a last bit of sunshine before meeting up with Falcon at Quell.
JOHNNY: Have fun.
Troy hangs up the phone and walks off toward the entrance of
the Sanctuary as the scene fades to black.
!!!FADE!!!
