X-Rated: “So anyways, I was at the airport and this total Killah Sin look alike comes up to me and starts getting in my face, saying that I screwed with the god, and that I will feel his wrath.”

Dark Soul: “Really? What did you do?”

X-Rated: “I did what ever self respecting man in my position would do. I knocked him on his ass. First off I don’t tolerate that shit from Killah Sin, so what makes this kids think in a million year I would just stand there and take it from him?

Dark Soul: “I agree man, I was hoping you weren’t going to tell me you were a pussy and just turned the other cheek and walked away from him.”

X-Rated: “DS, you have known me how long? Have you ever known me to just turn the other cheek and walk away from anyone? I don’t care if that guy is a fan or what the hell he is, if he wants to get up in my face, he better be prepared to lose his, plan and simple.”

Dark Soul: “So, X, I have to ask you man, what is the deal between you and Leitro? I mean last week you both helped each other out, so what gives?”

X-Rated: “I have nothing to do with Leitro, I only came out last week to screw Anthrax, I didn’t care who he was facing, the fact that he was facing some up and coming nobody just made that screw job that much better, I mean did you see the look in Anthrax eyes? You know he wasn’t too happy about losing the Internet Championship. I mean I know that when he finally stops licking his wounds he will comes on live TV and tell the whole world that he doesn’t give two dime bags about the Internet Championship, and that all I did was relieve him of the burden that was the Internet Championship but you and I both know that is bull.”

Dark Soul: “What I want to know is if Anthrax can’t beat Leitro why the hell is Sugar J wanting him as the next World Champion, I mean come on when you got a monster like me that could represent the company, why even bother having Anthrax attempt to get it?”

X-Rated: “Now hold on, I have no problems defending the World Title against anyone, but come on now, seriously why would I defend it against you? I mean no offence, but we are friends man, I don’t want to have to kick your ass again like I did back in the CEWF. And as far as Anthrax goes, ATTEMPT is the key word. Anthrax knows he can’t compete with me, but none the less he will attempt to get the job done at Beach Fest and try and capture the World Championship.”

Dark Soul: “X, man come on you know you never beat me in the ring, you never were able to beat me. Lets not forget who took the CEWF World Heavyweight Championship from you….ME

X-Rated: “You cheated to win that match and you know it. In a fair fight, I could and would defeat you. That’s why you resorted to cheating and breaking the rules to win that match in the first place, you had no other choice.”

Dark Soul: “X, man, you need to come to grips with reality here. I didn’t cheat to beat you, I totally owned you in that ring. As far as breaking the rules goes, I have never been one to follow the rule book and you know it. But if you really think you can beat me, then prove it! I have no problems stepping in the ring and taking the World Championship from you. You know that when you step into the ring we put our friendship aside, unless we are standing on the same side of the ring. So you just name the time and place and I will be more then happy to show up and kick your ass!

{Suddenly XXX jumps up off the couch and starts yelling at both X-Rated and Dark Soul}

XXX: “Now, stop it you two, I don’t want any blood on my carpets. Who cares who beat who in the CEWF, or how they did it. We aren’t in the CEWF anymore, we are in the ICWL. Besides that was like 5 years ago, so just focus on tasks that lay in front of both of you this week. Payton, you have to team with Leitro this week to face Anthrax and Killah Sin. Now I know you have faced these two before and have beaten them, but that doesn’t mean you can just sit back and relax. After what you and Leitro both pulled this week, you know they are going to be even more focused then they have been in the past, so get your head in the game and prepare yourself for your match up.”

“Dark Soul, this week you are in a match that could very well end you god damn career, so stop talking about what you have done in the past and think about what you are going to do in the future, the very near future. You both only have 5 more days until you face your opponents, and from what I have seen from Bane so far, he is not out to just hurt you but to burn you completely alive! So lets think about what you are going to do when you face him, and how you are going to not only win the match, but survive it in the process.”

“Payton, get on the phone with Leitro and make sure you are both on the same page. I know you both want the same thing, and that is to rid the ICWL of both Anthrax and Killah Sin, but you know those two will have a game plan going into the match up and will be able to work as a team, I think you and Leitro should do the same don’t you? Payton this isn’t about money anymore, and it certainly isn’t about what you have done in the past, so stop talking about that shit, because it doesn’t matter. Listen, you know I love you, and I am just as proud as you are for everything you have be able to do in your career, but if you still want to be able to wrestle week in and week out, you have to stop thinking you are invincible, and start thinking about how you are going to be able to continue on.”

“My neck injury made me realize that nothing in life is a given, I not only just about lost my career, but I almost lost my life. Now, I have seen what you have done to get your revenge, and I’m glad you have put a dent in the Systems Armor, but now you are the World Champion, and you are the one with the target on your back. The System is a non issue anymore, the issue at hand is keeping the World Championship around your waist as long as possible, and if you don’t start thinking about what you are going to do to keep it there, and stop thinking about what you have done in the past, then guess what you are going to lose it, whether it be to Anthrax, Killah Sin, or some one else. WE have worked to hard to get to this point, and I don’t want to see it all thrown away because you were to busy thinking about what you did 5 years ago!”

{X-Rated and Dark Soul just sit, completely speechless, as that was completely unexpected. Finally X-Rated finds the words}

X-Rated: “Kasie calm down, and don’t worry, I am thinking about what is going to happen this week when I face Anthrax and Killah Sin, with Leitro as my partner. In fact, the two us has are suppose to get together over the weekend. I’m not worried about what I have done in the past; I’m more worried about what I am going to do in the future. I’m not going to just walk away from the World Championship, I am going to defend it to the bitter end, and prove to everyone that I am just as great, if not greater then people like Silk, or Ric Vicious.”

Dark Soul: “And trust me, I am ready for whatever Bane has planned. This isn’t the first time someone has been out to end my career, and this isn’t my first go around in an Inferno match either. Bane doesn’t know what he has gotten himself into and nether does anyone else in the ICWL. When Wednesday arrives, and the bell sounds, I will be at the top of my game, just like I am every time I step into the ring. You two have known me a long time, and you know that I only deliver 110% and nothing less. So let Bane try and end my career, hell let him even try and set me ablaze, it doesn’t really matter to much to me, because in the end the only one that is going to be a walking bond fire is Bane ‘The Dark Angel’ Crow.”

XXX: “Well I hope for both of your sakes that you are right, because if not, then you will both be eaten alive!”

{XXX walks out of the room and into the master bedroom, closing the door behind her.}

Dark Soul: “What’s the deal with her man?”

X-Rated: “I only wish I knew man, she hasn’t been the same since her injury. Maybe it’s some post traumatic stress shit or something. She has been on edge even since she got home from the hospital.”

Dark Soul: “Oh well, she is a tough broad, I’m sure she will be fine. Just give her some time.”

X-Rated: “Hey, that’s my wife you are talking about, she ain’t just some broad alright!?”

Dark Soul: “Hey man, chill, I didn’t mean anything by it I’m just saying she is one tough lady that’s all.”

X-Rated: “Then say that, don’t call her a broad!”

Dark Soul: “Alright man, sorry, didn’t mean to offend you or anything. Anyways, I wanted to ask you, what is the deal with Kobra showing up last week?”

X-Rated: “I don’t know man, I just came out to see what he was up to, make sure he wasn’t out to attack you or anything. I didn’t call him or anything if that’s what you are implying.”

Dark Soul: “Nah, I’m not saying you did or anything, I just thought maybe you knew something seeing as you were out there watching and seem to approve of his actions.

X-Rated: “I completely approved of his action, that part you are right on, lets not forget what Reynolds did to me two weeks ago, but I had nothing to do with his arrival. To be perfectly honest with you I didn’t even know the guy was still alive, let along still wrestling. I haven’t heard from him since the CEWF when down four years ago.

Dark Soul: “Me either, but anyways, I got to get going man, I have to meet Amy at the airport, and well you know what she is like if you are late.”

X-Rated: “I understand, anyways, if you are going to be in town for a couple of days, give me a call, I can show you around town or something.

Dark Soul: “Will do man, catch you later, and wish me luck on making it in time.”

{Dark Soul gets up and walks out of the penthouse, an X-Rated walk over to the Master Bedroom door and knocks softly.}

X-Rated: “Kasie, DS is gone, I want to talk to you.”

-=X-Rated opens the door and walks into the room closing the door behind him. The camera fades to black.=-
