‘For too long, I have looked away. I have turned away, looking to my own business. I have let the W:UK drift into chaos, I have let men like Wesley Crane, men like the Bastards do as they wish. Because it was not my concern, because what were such things to me?’
Takaru Matsui shrugged as he sat in the corner of the ring, his hands steepled before him as he frowned. Then he looked up, shaking his head.
‘The Foundation or what is left of it has shown me that I am wrong. Crane bringing in his friends from HKW has shown me that I am wrong. The Glucks putting their hands on Frank Wormwood? That was another.’
The hand of the Red Slayer curled into a fist, and he looked up with a faint frown.
‘Did Frank Wormwood threaten them? Did he attack them? No, the Glucks were clearly concerned that Frank had overheard something. Some sort of scheme they are cooking up with Crane, but here is the problem! The Glucks have woken me up, the Glucks have angered Takaru Matsui! And so at Legacy in Aberdeen I will lead Neon Bushido down to the ring, and I will start to show the men like you who hide in the corners of the WUK what it means to draw the ire of men like me, eh? You think you’re strong? You’re tough? You’re so powerful?’
Takaru snorted, a smile on his face as he leaned his head back against the turnbuckle. His arms crossed over his knees, and he shook his head before he looked at the camera again.
‘I will show you true strength, I will show you what it means to be tough, and I will show what use is power. I will show you the error of your ways, and you! Both of you will regret the day you put your hands on Frank Wormwood! You will find that I am more of a fight then that little man, you will find that me and Shimo? We may not be as strong, as tough, or as savage as you two. But you will see that we are here for a fight!’
Takaru frowned, and he slid to his feet.
‘The thing is, that you and the others like you have forgotten? I was like you once. I walked in darkness, in shadows, I fought at the side of monsters. I was as merciless, as ruthless, as cruel as any of you. And everyday I look at the ruin that way of life brought me, the pain, the suffering, the sorrow. I will not go back to that emptiness.’
A shrug of leather clad shoulders.
‘But I am your worst enemy, I know all of your tricks. I know exactly what you are capable of, what you think you will do. But Shimo and I? We have stared the dark in the face, we have walked in the shadows. We have dined on blood and fear at the sides of kings, and we are not afraid of you. So Carlton? Chapps? Get ready, because the time of reckoning is here. And Neon Bushido is waiting for you.’
Takarus smiles, and slides from the ring to walk off into the darkness.
