*The scene opens up in the mountains. These mountains look familiar. Where have we seen them before? The idyllic scenery is marred by the garish site of a man appearing to fly into the scene? He lands with a grunt in the superhero pose.*
Man: WHOOSH!
*He looks around. We finally get a reveal of the man. He is dressed in green and black and wearing a domino mask. Clearly a superhero.
: My Hurrisenses have directed me to this mountain near my home town in North Carolina. There is something here that needs my assistance.
*he looks around*
: I don’t see anything. Perhaps I should have stayed in the air. … No matter, ever since the Trons went missing last year, the hero business has been more difficult. And the Borgs being gone made things … worse? WHASSUP WIT DAT?
*He crosses his arms and pouts*
: Needless to say with all this evil afoot, my job has been hella hard. I miss the halcyon days of yore when I could go bury young talent on the Hardy farm, or win the XHF Tag team titles with a little person. Truly good times. I wonder what the XHF is up to these days. Last I heard it had returned from the pits of Tartarus!
*A weak, tired, bedraggled animal sound is heard just off camera.*
: GADZOOKS! WHAT WAS THAT?
*He poses in that signature Hurricane pose, cape in front of his face. He bounds off camera and when the camera returns he lands, as if he flew, near a tall mountain. It appears to be the site of some horrific vehicular traffic that has torn up the mountain. There are corrosion marks, drag marks, tentacle marks, etc. He scans the area with a hand blocking the sun from his eyes.*
: Oh my gosh! Why this poor creature has been crushed, dismembered and run over! But it’s … alive! WHAT SPIRIT! He’s lost 3 of his 9 lives! Poor kitten … I will abscond with you and take you to safety. But the nearest medical facility is 42 minutes away by flight!
*The kitten cringes at the mention of the number of miles. For some reason. Even though this is TOTALLY a distinct and new creature. Any reasonable person would not mistake it for any previous former AWF Around the Clock champions. I mean it has four legs. Hurricane scoops it up and turns to fly away.*
: STAND BACK! THERE’S A HURRICANE COMING THROUGH!
*He bounds off screen as we do a Batman style screen wipe with the Hurrilogo spinning big and then back out off screen.*
FIVE WEEKS LATER: SEPTEMBER 13, 2021
: NOW! My loyal sidekick! It is time to get back into shape! I’ve spent weeks nursing you to health and nurturing your powers to the surface. It is time. For the world to meet the new and improved HURRI-DUO!
*A cat bounds onto the top of his head, it wears a domino mask, wouldn’t want it’s secret identity getting out.
Hurricane pats his partner on the head and then looks up at a TV advertising XHF End of Days. There is some intern on the TV pleading with the world for a final entrant. One slot remains and everyone is too scared of Redmond Fury to risk signing up. I mean only one of the fighters will get the chance to walk to the second round by fighting Dylan Black.*
: Why, my feline compatriot. You don’t think … this is a sign! It’s been so long! Surely Mongo would remember me and welcome me back! After all, I make minimum wage. And with my Hurripowers I heal instantaneously and need no medical care!
*the cat cringes at the mention of XHF but nods at the green clad hero. He puts his hand to his chin in a thinking pose, as is the calling of all masked men, and Hurrithinks. His powers make his mind work extra quick. Like .01% faster than a normal human! Or 50% slower than a supergenius like Nikola Tesla.*
: It’s decided my friend. STAND BACK XHF! THERE’S A HURRICANE COMING-
: -MEW!
SEPTEMBER 25, 2021
*Hurricane bounds into the screen with his new caped and masked kitten beside him. They both pose.*
Man: Um … can I help you?
: You must be XHF Commissioner James Mueller!
Man: Uh… XHF HQ is in Minnesota, we’re in Trenton. B) I’m just a tech roadie. C) The commissioner is Bobby Barratt.
: Who?
Man: I could ask you the same question. How did you get through the talent entrance?
: GASP! You don’t know who the greatest superhero in XHF history is? WHASSUP WIT DAT!?
Man: … You sound like you belong in 2003.
: Why, my good citizen. I am the green gladiator, the storm of superheroics, the HURRICANE! XHF legend, former XHF Tag team champion! A man who battled the likes of Chris Kanyon and Gravedigger and Matt Hicks for the European title!
Man: … Is that … does the freak know you’re here?
: MOW!
*The cat scratches him for his insolence.*
: Now now my feline avenger, there is no need to punish ignorance. This is 2021 … if we do that the entirety of Washington and a large population of America would end up pinging our villainometers! Use the Hurripowers. Control and contain that anger! You have much to learn. Now my friend, this here is my new sidekick. THE PURRICANE!
*beat*
: MEW MEW MEOW!
: I simply came here to know who I am facing in the End of Days Tournament. I am here to retrain myself and learn of the state of the XHF. Does it need saving? Are there villains afoot?
Man: Uh … Hurricane … let me see. Says here … oh … oh you’re boned. You got Anthony Caffrey.
: The internet talk show host?
: Mew mew mew.
: What? He was the longest reigning AXW champ and former X*Crown champ? He won a rumble? WHASSUP WIT DAT?
*He ponders.*
: Well this is exciting. I didn’t expect to draw such a worthy opponent in round one! Surely my victory over him will seal my return to the top of XHF. Mongo will hire me to be his NEW security force. No more beans on toast for breakfast. Dunno how the Brits put up with that. And the Hurri-flatulance … the Hurricave hasn’t smelled right since 2007. I have much research to do. Come my companion!
*He bounds off screen to study his opponent.*
Man: WHOOSH!
