The scene opens with David Berg working out the gym owned by Harold Rosenstein. It is hot and David is sweaty. CJ Walker put him through the ringer. His gray shirt is wet with sweat as he attacks the heavy bag with a bevy of kicks and punches.
The owner of the gym, Harold Rosenstein walks down and asks him politely to come into his office. Berg walks up the stairs, his body still sore from the beating Walker gave him. The big man certainly hits hard.
Rosenstein: Good job, David, good job. I saw your match. The man you faced was quite large but you fought well. Anyway, management needs to speak with you.
Berg: Management?
Rosenstein: We all answer to Management my friend.
Berg sits down and looks at the laptop as Rosenstein walks out of the office and closes the door behind him. A black figure appears on the computer speaking in a monotone male voice.
Voice: Good job Mr. Berg, you are serving your country well.
Berg: Thank you? This is?
Voice: This is how we will communicate. While you pursue the interests of Israel in America. You are still a soldier in the IDF and you as you are aware have the most critical mission in pushing Israel’s agenda to the world.
Berg: Understood.
Voice: Congratulations on your victory. I trust you are not injured?
Berg: Sore. That is all. I threw my heavy arsenal at CJ Walker and he kept getting up. These Americans are tough very tough. Not the woke sissy boys who live in New York and California but the tough rugged people from Texas, Wyoming, Ohio. If we are in a war I want guys named Joe Bob, Bubba and Clete on my side not metro sexuals named Blake, Blaine and Milo.
Voice: Laughs…very good. Ahem. Anyway you have your next assignment.
Berg: Already?
Voice: Yes and I have a scouting report and this will be a Gauntlet Match.
Berg: A what?
Voice: A Gauntlet Match
Berg (Puzzled): Is this where you wear some medieval glove?
Voice: What? No.
Berg: What?
Voice: What?
Berg: What is a Gauntlet Match
Voice: Hold on, I am checking my notes. So it looks like two men begin the match and then when one is eliminated a new opponent appears.
Berg: Doesn’t seem very sporting if you’re the first two men.
Voice: You need to play the cards you are dealt.
Berg: Excellent. So who am I competing against?
Voice: CJ Walker is there and he will certainly want his revenge.
Berg: Revenge? He busted me open and rag dolled me all night. Now he wants revenge?
Voice: You said yourself the toughest guys are Americans and Walker is from Arkansas. He will as the Americans say, bring it.
Berg: Its fine. I am ready to battle once more. Who else do we have.
Voice: Riley the Jackal.
Berg: Jackals are generally small but quick and ferocious animals. Is this man quick and ferocious?
Voice: He is 6’8 275 pounds and he hails from Mississippi.
Berg: I swear do these people grow on trees in America?
Voice: The man is a beast and he cannot speak.
Berg: Cannot speak?
Voice: Childhood accident.
Berg: Good God.
Voice: David, you do realize that while they are bigger, I am not sure they are stronger than you. Our scouting report shows that pound for pound.
Berg (interrupts): Tell that to my body. You take a hit from a 6’8 dude who can’t talk and tell me how you feel!
Voice: Fair enough. Next we have The Crimson Mask.
Berg: The Crimson Mask?
Voice: The Crimson Mask
Berg: So there is only one
Voice: One what?
Berg: One mask.
Voice: What?
Berg: Well its not a Crimson Mask but THE Crimson Mask.
Voice: So literal. Anyway. I cannot find a scouting report.
Berg: I know who he is. He is a 300 pound monster
Voice: My notes.
Berg: Do not worry about it. He manhandled Riley the Jackal did you not watch that match.
Voice: My notes. Um..well I saw yours. I have the show DVRd.
Berg: This is our intelligence.
Voice: This is a new program and my full staff of resources have yet to be provided.
Berg: Oh brother. Anyway this Crimson Mask has my attention. My full attention. If we face off.
Voice: My notes.
Berg: Next?
Voice: Hmmmm
Berg: Hmmmm?
Voice: A woman. A woman is here. Saint Sakura.
Berg: She is not 6’8 is she?
Voice: She hails from Japan and is 5’5. But do not let her gender or size deceive you. Japanese fight to the death.
Berg: The death?
Voice: The death:
Berg: This isn’t the age of the Samurai.
Voice: Her scouting report says she fights to the death.
Berg: Good, she can fight the Crimson Mask and they can both fight to the death.
Voice: That was quite humorous.
Berg: I am 22 and in the prime of my young adulthood. Of course I am funny. I will beat anyone that says otherwise!
Voice: I have no idea what to do with that.
Berg: Is that it then?
Voice: One more.
Berg: One MORE!!!?
Voice: Yes
Berg: How many competitors are in this match. Well the more the merrier as the Americans say. Give it to me.
Voice: Maddox
Berg: Maddox?
Voice: Maddox
Berg: That is a cool name…for a dog.
Voice: I suppose so.
Berg: What is his deal?
Voice: He is 185 pound fancy boy from NYC.
Berg: Fancy boy?
Voice: You know fancy boy.
Berg: What?
Voice: You know the type of man that Muslims kill for being that type of man.
Berg: He is Jewish?
Voice: He is no he is well fancy.
Berg: What?!?!?
Voice: You know how Hamas throws them from the roof?
Berg: You mean he is gay?!?!?
Voice: Yes
Berg: So why did you call him fancy?
Voice: We did not want to be offensive
Berg: This is 2021, I doubt he is offended by being gay. Being from New York, well that is a different story.
Voice: Many of our people live in New York.
Berg: Their Governor was just embarrassed and he is not half as embarrassing as their half wit mayor but enough with this.
Voice: The scouting report on Fancy Maddox is that he is cocky…no pun intended.
Berg: What the heck. This is IDF intelligence?!?
Voice: This is a new program. We are busy fighting Egypt, ISIS-K, Iran, Iraq, KSA and of course Hamas. So we need to staff up for project Berg.
Berg: Seems so. You tell headquarters that if they believe that David…never mind. I will says it. Pound for pound I will not be beaten. I am faster and quicker than most anyone! Including the Sakura. Including Maddox. The time to talk will soon be over.
It is time to fight. You tell Headquarters that I will beat them All.
Voice: What?
Berg: No matter where I am in this match, I will beat them all!
