BANG! & Order
Special Gimmicks Unit
In the XHF Network there are wrestlers and there are gimmicks. The special gimmicks unit investigates both.
Two of the members of the Special Gimmicks Unit had a special assignment. There were four wrestlers were on their radar and they were tasked with finding out just what their gimmicks were. Detective Curtis Kanyon and his Junior Detective partner El Combatiente had four XHF Network employees whose gimmicks needed investigating. First on their plate was one half of the team Top of the Class, Mistress Discipline.
Biblioteca Municipal Sant Antoni De Portmany
Public library
Ibiza, Spain
Detective Kanyon and Detective Combatiente have arrived in Spain early ahead of their match to scope out the area for the Rumble and learn about their opponents. This research has brought them here where they hope to learn about Mistess Discipline.
: I’ve never seen a library used as a front for a whore house, but I’m eager to see what that would look like. Not that I want to partake or anything. My smoking hot wife is enough for this man.
: She’s not that kind of Mistress. Her Mistress name rings back to her time before here wrestling career as a librarian, which is why we’re here.
: That’s not nearly as fun.
The two enter the building and immediately notice a young librarian sitting behind the check out counter. The two detectives make eye contact, nod in agreement, and head over to the librarian. Kanyon as the senior detective takes the lead.
: We’ve got some questions for you.
The Librarian shh’s the duo and points to a “keep quiet” sign above her.
: We’ve got some questions for you.
: This is not the place for questions.
: Our questions aren’t about books.
The Librarian again shh’s the duo and points to a “keep quiet” sign above her.
: Our questions aren’t about books. We want information about…
: Information is over there.
The young Librarian motions with her thumb to the information booth. The two detectives turn and look at an older Librarian sitting behind a desk reading information. The two look at each other and shrug before heading in that direction. They approach the booth and greet the Librarian with a nod.
: We need information.
Once again the librarian shh’s the two. They look at each other and roll their eyes.
: We need information. We’re members of the XHF Network.
: I know who you are.
: Good, we need your help.
: You I have no clue who you are. He was president of the United States. You’re just another guy in a mask. It’s a pandemic and you look like everyone else.
EC slumps his shoulders in disappointment.
: You hurt my partners feelings.
Another shh stops Kanyon.
: You hurt my partners' feelings. That was unnecessary. We’re just looking for information.
: Thats what I’m here for. So spit it out or step aside. A line is forming.
: We just need to know about being a librarian to discover more about our most honorable opponent Mistress Discipline. Can you help us with that or not?
: Why would I help you with that? The Mistress is an icon to those of us in the literary arts and you two are looking to take her down.
: We’re not trying to take her down, we are just trying to learn more about what makes her tick so that we can stop her from realizing her dream of becoming a tag team champion. We’d never want to take her down.
: Isn’t that the same thing as taking her down.
EC and Kanyon both Shh the Librarian.
: She does have a point though.
EC shrugs and leans in closer to the librarian.
: Look, I know you think we’re the bad guys because we’re facing someone you feel a kinship with, but we’re the good guys here. So please, help us out here.
: How about you leave before I call the cops?
: Miss, we are the cops.
: Not only are you not real cops, even if you were you wouldn’t have any authority in this country.
Kanyon looks at his partner.
: Shit, she’s right. Let’s get out of here.
The two turn and exit as the information booth librarian picks up the phone and begins to call the real police and we fade on this scene.
I’m not sure what, if anything, I learned about you from the library MD, but also I’m not sure I really needed it. That life might be important to your identity. It may have molded you into who you are now, but it’s not your full identity. You’re not the uptight librarian anymore worried about the quietness of the room. No, you’ve grown and evolved passed all of that. Now you’re a true warrior, one I am proud to have shared the ring with.
I’m sure if you went back and looked at my previous job teaching youngsters Lucha Libre you’d find that I too have moved on and grown. Does that make us bad people MD? Does it mean we’ve lost touch with our identity? I don’t think so MD. I think it just makes us human. Everyone grows. Everyone changes.
What hasn’t changed in a long time has been the location of the Fireside Tag Team Championships. Should that change at your teams’ hands it wouldn’t be a disappointment. We have been looking for formidable teams, but to this point Fireside has failed to produce anyone worthy. Sure, I’d be upset, I love these belts and have a close relationship with my partner, and that is why we won’t go down easy. We want someone to earn it. Will that be you and Death Trap? Or will we again be disappointed?
Chuck E. Cheese
Glorified Arcade
Somewhere in Los Angeles
The two detectives stick out like a sore thumb inside the children’s play land, and not just because they’re the only two who didn’t bring kids in, but because Kanyon said words no adult ever said when they arrived.
: I love the pizza here.
EC just stares at his partner as they walk in. They walk through the line for purchase and walk straight pass the counter. They dodge kids running back and forth trying to get from their tables to the games. They narrowly avoid a server shooting out of the kitchen with a pizza in each hand. Finally they reach the Chuck E Cheese band and stand in front of the mouse himself.
: …
: You can try the silent treatment, but it won’t work. We’re here for answers.
: …
: No sé si puede responder.
(I’m not sure he can answer.)
As soon as EC finishes his statement Chuck and the rest of the band light up and begin to play.
: Welcome to our place! I'm Chuck E. Cheese because we're gonna sing our songs and dance along. So while you all wiggle like all The Wiggles. You should scream and shout. Enjoy the show! Yeah, Yeah!
The two stand dumbstruck as Chuck and his band sing and play their song. When it finishes Chuck slumps back down and Kanyon grabs the robot by the shoulders and shakes it.
: Oh no you don’t. We didn’t come here for a song. We came here for info on your kind. Tell us the secret to Dylan Black.
EC steps between the former President and pushes him back.
: Cálmate, amigo mĂo. Mira a este tipo. No muestra ninguna emociĂłn. Jugando a un policĂa bueno, un policĂa malo no va a trabajar en este tipo. Vamos a tener que cambiar nuestro enfoque. SĂ© que eres mi oficial superior, pero Âżpuedo tomar la iniciativa?
(Calm down my friend. Look at this guy. He shows no emotion. Playing good cop, bad cop is not going to work on this guy. We are going to have to change our approach. I know you are my senior officer, but may I take the lead?)
Kanyon nods to the junior officer and EC turns back towards the mechanical mouse and takes a deep breath.
: Hola, Señor Queso. Es genial conocer a una estrella de tu talla. Mi pareja y yo somos grandes fans y solo querĂa haceros algunas preguntas.
(Hello Mister Cheese. It is great to meet a star of your stature. My partner and I are big fans and just wanted to ask you a few questions.)
: …
: Vale. No queremos ocupar demasiado de tu tiempo. Ves que somos luchadores profesionales además de nuestro trabajo de detective y estamos en un caso candente para saber más sobre uno de nuestros oponentes. ¿Conoces a Dylan Black?
(Okay. We don’t want to take up too much of your time. You see we’re professional wrestlers in addition to our detective work and we’re on a hot case to find out more about one of our opponents. Are you familiar with Dylan Black?)
: …
: No pasa nada. No todo el mundo es un fanático de la lucha libre. La razĂłn por la que preguntamos es porque Dylan se parece mucho a ti. Es humano, pero en su mayorĂa es un robot. AsĂ que esperábamos que pudieras ayudarnos a descubrir su debilidad. ÂżPodrĂas ayudarnos?
(It’s okay. Not everyone is a fan of wrestling. The reason we ask is because Dylan is a lot like you. He’s human, but he’s mostly robot. So we were hoping you could help us figure out his weakness. Could you help us?)
Chuck lights up again.
: Welcome to our place!
: Ya lo has dicho.
(You said that already.)
: I'm Chuck E. Cheese because we're gonna sing our songs and dance along.
: Por favor, no vuelvas a cantar. Mi pareja ya está furiosa.
(Please don’t sing again. My partner is already fuming.)
: So while you all wiggle like all The Wiggles.
: ¿Qué tiene que ver la banda infantil australiana con esto?
(What does the Australian kids band have to do with this?)
: You should scream and shout.
: Si no te detienes, mi pareja lo hará.
(If you don’t stop my partner will.)
: Enjoy the show! Yeah, Yeah!
As Chuck finishes the line Curtis explodes and flies through the robo-mouse with a BANG! The mouse breaks in two and everyone in the place gasps.
: Oh, no.
Kanyon stands up and let’s out a primal scream as he stands up surrounded by the revenants of the robo-mouse. His partner grabs him by he shoulder and reaches up on his tip toes to whisper in his ear.
: Creo que será mejor que salgamos de aquĂ.
(I think we better get out of here.)
Kanyon looks around and then nods to his partner and the two rush out as employees rush to the scene to check on the carnage.
Dylan, it’s been a long road that has lead us here hasn’t it? We went from promising young talents in separate companies to tag partners to this. You know how much I appreciate your friendship. You know how much I respect you. Unlike Top of the Class, though, I just can’t respect your team in this match.
It has nothing to do with you, you know that. It has everything to do with your partner. Now, I know you didn’t have a choice in your partner, but a team with Evan or any member of New Money just isn’t one I can give my respect to.
If I’m being honest, I should be a little scared about this pairing. Not because I think highly of Evan as a competitor. He couldn’t win a match if his life depended on it without the help of his New Money friends. But because you have a history of turning bad partners into winning partners. You did it Dackle who clearly weighed you down winning fed tag belts and just falling short of winning the global belts. You did it with He Who Shall Not Be Named when you were forced to team with him after claiming to be your father winning the global belts. Now here you are again. Forced to team with someone not on your level. I should be scared.
I’m not, though. Instead I’m excited. I’ve shared the ring with you before and it exhilarated me. The chance to once again feel that exhilaration excites me. The last time my title was on the line, and even though I was facing three opponents I still walked out with my belt. Can it happen again? Maybe, but if Kanyon and I some how fail it will be because we were foiled by a better team, I’m just not sure that team exists, and if it does it almost certainly isn’t you and Evan.
