In a wrestling ring at a gymnasium, “Deathstryke” Cyan Komar stands in the middle of the ring. He goes through a series of lightning fast kicks. He starts out low, switches to a midsection kick, clips up high to about jaw height, and then snaps off a directly overhead kick that awes onlookers as he does the splits to kick that high. He then switches to a blistering fast series of touch strikes to hit all of the major pressure points of his would be opponent. At ringside, Gill Snider claps his hands. An action that is echoed by several other onlookers.
Cyan gives a respectful bow in response to the applause and smiles as Gill Snider enters the ring. He is the lead interviewer for Phantom Star Wrestling.
GILL SNIDER: Great showing there, Cyan. What can you tell fans about your background? I've read your dossier, you have quite the history as a wrestler. Though, you do have a rather large gap in your wrestling career. What have you been doing?
CYAN KOMAR: Well, I was born in a monastery, hidden in the mountains in Japan. The Order of the Phoenix, a ninja clan that worked with the great spirit of the Phoenix to produce the most powerful ninjas the world has never seen.
GILL SNIDER: Never seen?
Cyan laughs a little at Gill’s realized eyebrow.
CYAN KOMAR: They are ninja still. Their work is meant to be unseen. My father is the Grandmaster of the Order. I was still stifled by my progress and the Warhammer Corporation promised access to deadlier arts and a more exciting mission profile. So, I left the Order of the Phoenix and was adopted by a Lin Kuei clan in China that had mastered a deadly touch mastery style of Kung fu.
GILL SNIDER: I thought the Lin Kuei was a Mortal Kombat invention. Chinese ninjas?
Cyan nods with a smile.
CYAN KOMAR: They are real. Or rather, this clan was real. Once I mastered the style of combat, the Warhammer Corporation exterminated the clan to ensure I would be the only master of the style remaining. I murdered my adopted father, the master of the clan, myself.
GILL SNIDER: All this before you became a professional wrestler at Hardkore World?
CYAN KOMAR: Yes. I was an assassin for the Warhammer Corporation for a number of years before I switched gears to become a professional wrestler under the guidance of Allen Anderson. I tagged with “Knife Edge” Takeda Yokosuda to become “Final Contract”. As you can see from my bio, most of my title victories have been tag team title wins. We supported Anderson as he rose from manager to owner, wrestling under his management.
GILL SNIDER: And the long gap in wrestling? Did you retire? You’re what forty-six?
CYAN KOMAR: I left the company to strike out on my own for awhile, but was drawn back into the company. I married the granddaughter of Warhammer Asia’s Director, Tehuai Anxiu. Her name is Tehuai Zetian. I know it isn't a popular choice amongst my fans back home in Japan that I would marry a Chinese woman, but it is what it is. I've carried out a few missions for Anxiu that we probably shouldn't talk about as death and such have little place in a wrestling ring.
Gill nods in agreement, moving on.
GILL SNIDER: You come back to Phantom Star Wrestling in their inaugural tournament and face “the Superhero Supernova” Space Oddity in the ring for your first round match. What do you have to say about him?
CYAN KOMAR: Is this a joke to him? Is he joking about this? I don't understand the selection of his name in relation t the name of the company. This just seems like he's laughing at the company and making tings into one great big joke. I'm going to knock him down a few pegs. Maybe he’ll rethink this ludacris name and tank of something that makes some kind of sense.
GILL SNIDER: I rather doubt one thrashing will get Space Oddity to rethink his name.
CYAN KOMAR: Then maybe I delay the Duatsu a little bit and the ensuing brain damage will give him cause to forget his stupid little name.
GILL SNIDER: The Duatsu? What's that?
Cyan sends a single touch strike into the air, curls his fingers into a hook, and bring them back.
CYAN KOMAR: When I hit the Deathstryke on my opponent, the Duatsu is needed to replenish blood flow to the brain. If not done, my opponent could very well die in the middle of the ring.
GILL SNIDER: It really sounds like you need to rethink your finishing move as I think management would ban the use of that move. What if someone attacks you right after the match and you don't get the chance to do the...Duatsu?
CYAN KOMAR: Then it will be as if my opponent has suffered a stroke. If the blockage doesn't undo itself the damage done is similar. Brain damage and then death.
GILL SNIDER: Yeah, I'm going to say that it won't take but a time or two of doing that move before management catches on to how deadly it is and takes steps to prevent you from performing it.
Cyan just shrugs with a smile.
CYAN KOMAR: Nothing new there. I've been performing the Deathstryke off and on for twenty years. Past management teams have not banned it, this one won't either. Chances are, they won't care if someone dies in the ring. So long as it isn't one of their top earners, I'll be safe.
GILL SNIDER: What about the rest of this tournament?
CYAN KOMAR: Tournament? I suppose it is technically a tournament, even if it is only three matches in total. I'm going to come out of the tournament as winner of course. Now leave me be while I go through my katas to prepare for my first match against that joke guy, Space Oddity.
GILL SNIDER: This has been Gill Snider with “Deathstryke” Cyan Komar.
