Lord vs.Gladiator: Who's the better cruiserweight

[edwarddubin0604]

(Niko is watching holographic images of Lord Dominicus's matches including the thirteen man battle royal with the same intensity he has whenever he steps into the ring.)

Niko:  "I still do not understand why this Lord Dominicus calls himself a lord when he has no noble title to his name."

Commandrix:  "It seems he calls himself that because he believes that he is wrestling royalty.  There are many examples of those who believe they are wrestling royalty. For example King Brad Swann or one King Jerry Lawler well as Queen Charlotte Flair as well as Empress of the Future Asuka. The list goes on and one."

Niko:  "Yet he calls himself a lord even though he never earned it.  I'm areal man.  I'm a gladiator who's earned his noble reputation and I shall prove it when we step into the ring." 

Commandrix:  "In two weeks you and Lord Dominicus step into the ring for the opportunity to advance to the next round in the Cruiserweight Tournament and glory for Shaakar."

Niko:  "Imagine a Gladiator vs. a Lord for the opportunity for the glory of being one step closer to becoming the NPW Cruiserweight Champion.  The opportunity for holding two championships is something no one on our planet has ever done for over two thousand years."

Commandrix:  "There has been examples on earth of boxers holding unified championships and occasionally professional wrestlers doing the same thing on various occasions
and defending them either on one night or every other night depending if that champion is called out by an opponent or someone he or she is feuding with."

Niko:  "Why does he call himself a lord if he acts like a complete idiot coming up with all these dumb evil schemes."

Commandrix:  "There is always a method to one's madness Niko.  That is how this sport is Niko and with each situation you must adapt to all situations when the time is necessary against the opponent you face."

Niko:  "Yet this Lord Dominicus almost gets unmasked by Scott Steele and thus embarrassing himself in front of anyone watching the broadcast. Then to give all his opponents earth creatures as offerings is unheard of on our world."

Commandrix:  "This final month of the earth year is the season of giving to the other.  Lord Dominicus failed to commit any evil acts of revulsion just to get something called coal."

(One of the individuals The Dark Stars and Dark Novas liberated come running up to them with a box and salutes.)

Woman:  "Commandrix a box has come for Niko."

(Niko takes out his dagger and makes ready as Commandrix  scans the box and slowly opens it and a Corgi's head appears.)

Woman: "It's a dog."

Commandrix:  "Stand down Niko it matches the description of the other dogs your opponent sent to every other opponent last event."

(Niko resheaths his dagger.)

Niko:  "Why would he send this Corgi creature to me."

Commandrix:  "Obviously to try and get some psychological advantage."

(A golden holographic image appears and Commandrix puts the box down and the Corgi leaps out of the box and sits down looking at them.)

Shaakar: "What is going on Commandrix.  I haven't heard from you in quite a while."

Commandrix:  "Niko is training for combat against one Lord Dominicus."

Shaakar:  "Who is this Lord Dominicus."

Niko:  "Might Shaakar he is a wrestler who is my opponent in this tournament for the title of cruiserweight."

Shaakar:  "I see and what else have you accomplished besides entering this tournament of combat and glory." 

Niko:  "Myself and Kono are currently the best NPW tag team and hold the NPW Imperial Crown Tag Team Champions."

Shaakar:  "An amazing accomplishment. What else have you accomplished since the last mission."

Commandrix:  "We have bought this old toxic plant and have continually restored it so we can both train and carry out our missions."

Shaakar:  "Very good Commandrix."

(Shaakar sees the Corgi.)

Shaakar:  "What is this creature."

Niko:  "My opponent sent this to me just like he did to his other opponents."

Shaakar:  "What is this creature."

Niko:  "The earthlings call this creature a dog and this breed is called a Corgi."

Shaakar:  "What does this species of creature do."

Niko:  "From what I have seen this species likes to play but you must feed it certain kinds of meat and you need to be sure to provide a place to let it release whatever fluids and solid stuff comes out of it.  This creature will do it as you let it walk with you."

Shaakar:  "I see."

Commandrix:  "Do you wish to possess this dog Great Lord Shaakar."

Shaakar:  "I have of plenty of pets and since this Lord Dominicus gifted him to you.  He shall become your pet and you shall raise it to it's full age."

Commandrix:  "We shall be quite honored to do so."

Shaakar:  "What else is there to report."

Commandrix:  "We suspect that this planet's law enforcers are on our trail attempting to capture us."

Shaakar:  "Deal harshly with them."

Commandrix:  "Actually I have a plan to deal with them and accomplish our goals for your glory."

Shaakar:  "Good Commandrix.  Do not fail in using these earthling enforcers to our advantage."

Commandrix:  "We shall not fail."

Shaakar:  "What else."

Niko: "My fellow gladiator brother and his wife Terminatrix are going to be locked in a struggle with one Isabel Rios and John Cavanaugh."

Shaakar:  "Then prove your superiority against your opponents for the glory of Shaakar."

(Commandrix and Niko salute and shout his name before he disappears.)

Commandrix:  "Let's continue your preparations."

Niko: "Yes Commandrix."

(They look at the Corgi.)

Niko:  "Shall we make accommodations for our new companion."

Commandrix:  "Do it."

Niko:  "When me and Lord Dominicus meet in the ring we're going to have an epic war and I'm going to prove that the gladiator is is the better cruiserweight than a lord."

(He continues his preparations while the Corgi sits and watches as the scene slowly fades to black.)
