The scene is the same old dive bar, and Takaru sits at the bar with a few beer bottles at hand. He absently rolls the bottle back and forth on the edge of it, a faint smile on his lips before he shrugs. He lifts the bottle taking another drink, and he motions for another as he slides the empty bottle aside.
'It will not be long now, when I face down three of the rising stars of NPW.' Takaru shrugged, and he glanced arond the empty bar as classic rock played from nearby. He opened his next bottle of beer, and took a long drink before he tapped his fingers against the wood of the bar. 'And I will defeat them, I will take them apart inside of that ring, because it is my destiny to rise. I respect these men, I appreciate their skill, but I will not let them stand in my way. I will not let them defeat Takaru Matsui.'
He smiled, a hand waving before he turned back to the bar. Head tilting as he watched the TV above the bar once more, and he tapped the bottle against the wood of the bar. He leaned back, hands resting on the surface of the bar as he thought for a long moment. 'I intend to battle my way past them, to drop as many of them as I have to, and then I will rise in victory. And then? I will challenge for the NPW Openweight title.'
A shrug of leather clad shoulders, and he took another drink of beer.
'D, I have seen you. You are a fighter, a warrior, you are quite skilled. To face you would be an honor, and a challenge.' Takaru smiled. 'As for your own challengers? I have seen their works as well. Steve Awesome, a man consumed by his own desires, a man who is afraid of the consequences of his choices, and his own lust. If I face Steve Awesome? I will let him wallow in these choices after I lay him out with a kinsasha.'
Takaru's eyes narrowed. 'And then there is him. I know him well, and I know what it means to face him. If it is you, my old friend? I will repay you for your latest sins, your latest depravities. But first? I have three other men to go past, and I will because destiny is at hand. Only three men stand between me and it.'
