The scene opens to the backdrop of a logo, specifically, the Heroes for Hire logo. The leader of the group, Your Hero and Mine, Mark Storm - paces around a four sided ring, one situated at their training facility. He looks frustrated, rubbing his fingers through his long hair as he compatriots and co champions, Mitsuo Shimada and Takashi Shinobu, look on from opposites sides of the ring.
Mark Storm: "You know what guys, I've had it... I've had enough, everybody keeps talkin' about how we haven't defended our titles, and how we're paper champions and I'm sick of it!"
Storm stops in the center of the ring, whilst Shimada and Shinobu share a glare.
Mitsuo Shimada: "Brother, no one has said that."
Takashi Shinobu: "Yeah, this is the first I'm hearing it."
Storm scoffs, continuing to pace as he replies;
Mark Storm: "Nah, maybe you guys don't get it... maybe you guys aren't clued in but I've been seeing it, on the social medias and the comment sections - I know what they're all thinking... they're starting to question whether we're really and truly fighting champions, and I'm not gonna let that slide - I can't!"
He stops once again, clenching his fist in revolt.
Mitsuo Shimada: "So what are you proposing?"
Takashi Shinobu: "We've defended these titles the most out of any team before us... plus we're coming up to the longest reign."
Storm disregards Shinobu instantly and replies;
Mark Storm: "I'm proposing, an open challenge... to whatever team feels like they have the balls to step up to the challenge and take these JROK Trios Championships away from us. To whatever scumbags out there, to all the low lives and the maggots - they're invited to come try, we want the best of them. And you're right Takashi, we're creating history as I speak right now but still, that isn't enough... I want more, we need more. We need to elevate these titles to another level and make them the most desirable titles in this industry... right now, we're cementing our path and paving our way to get there but the job's far from over. Remember when we signed here... we had dreams of taking over this place from all fronts... I was talking about the Visual Kei Championship, we were talking about having every title on lock..."
Storm looks to the outside of the ring; turning his attention to, whilst unveiling the presence of - Strike 2 Kill's Liam Richardson and Miles Watson, who are also members of the faction.
Miles Watson: "Ah c'mon man, you know we've been trying!"
Mark Storm: "Hey, I'm not saying anything!"
Richardson shakes his head, disapprovingly.
Liam Richardson: "You didn't have to mate."
Mark Storm: "But now that you mention it, you two haven't exactly been pulling up your weight since you got to Japan, but you both know that. And you two, are one of the best tag teams in the world, you know you've got that juice to get your shit together any day of the week... but those Super Duos titles have been alluding you for a hot minute, I'll be damned. But it's not just you guys... it's us as a whole, I don't know... I just feel like we've become stale, we've become complacent and we need a shake up, right about now - goddamnit... my problem is I want the world and more but at the same time, it works as my greatest strength. I need to lead by example. If we truly wanna cement ourselves as legends, we need to lay our mark and show the world exactly what we're capable of, on all levels. Everybody has us down and out, they've already written us off but that's good... that's perfect, because from the ashes, we can rise and we can fulfil what is our goddamn prophecy... becoming the greatest faction in professional wrestling."
Storm pauses, nodding his head in a calm gentle manner, almost completely alleviated from all the stress he had beforehand, whilst everybody else look as if the stress had been transferred over to them. The scene gradually fades.
