The scene opens on the twisted burning wreckage of a motorcycle in the middle of the street. The very same motorcycle that Leonard Fox stole in the last episode. There are police and medics on the street. Local news and media were there to try and get the details for the big story. And on all sides of the yellow hazard tape we’re dozens of pedestrians who were just concerned and curious about what happened.
The cops were stumped, however, as there doesn’t seem to be any sign of a mangled and broken body to go along with the destroyed motorcycle. The cops decide to ask a sweet old man who was sitting at a bus stop nearby if he saw anything.
“Eh?”
It was Leonard Fox. And he didn’t have a scratch on him. Leonard cupped his hand around his ear to better hear the policemen.
“Did you happen to see anything related to this motorcycle accident?”
Leonard thinks for a moment.
“Uh….no?”
“Okay, well thanks for your time, sir.”
“Yeah yeah, pissofff.”
Leonard says, waving the police away from him. The police shrug their shoulders and walk away. Obviously the driver couldn’t possibly be a feeble old man.
“Well I’m stumped.”
One cop said as they all walked back to the scene of the crime.
“Better call in unsolved mysteries…”
Another said with a shrug of his shoulders.
“Wait a minute…”
A third cop said as he rubbed his chin.
“Something doesn’t add up…”
That policeman turned back to where Leonard was sitting and he was gone. The policeman scratched his head.
“But I didn’t see any bus…..”
THE HARDKORE REALITY OF STEVE AWESOME
Episode 5: Old Man Hunt part 1
Our heroes were on the search for Leonard Fox. Steve Awesome, Zelda Knite, Adam Knite and his wife Kelly have hit the streets to find their missing family member but so far they haven’t found hide nor hair of him anywhere. They all meet back up with each other at a local park.
“Anybody have any luck?”
Adam said, silently hoping someone at least had a clue.
“Nothing.”
Kelly muttered.
“We checked all his favorite places to go and nothing. Nobody has seen anything.”
Zelda added, matching the discouraged tone of her sister in law.
“He’s probably at a small diner or something. Old people love to go into restaurants and waste everyone’s time.”
The Face of the Franchise stated. He glanced at his fancy Apple Watch.
“Speaking of wasting time, I really need to get back home and get some training in. I want to get some squats in so my booty looks thick when I sit on that throne. I can’t afford to waste anymore time on this old man hunt adventure that is starting to get a little too wacky for my liking.”
Zelda shakes her head and crosses her arms.
“It’s not wacky. We just don’t know where grandpa is yet. People lose their grandparents all the time. This is perfectly normal. Besides, Steve, we need your help. I promise as soon as we find Leonard you can do all the training you want.”
“Okay, but I’m serious. Nothing wacky! Let’s just find Leonard and get this done and over with. Now where in the hell could he be?”
Suddenly a voice is heard from the shadows.
“I know where your old friend is.”
The gang glance over to see a tall and slender elf with platinum blonde hair and pointy ears.
“But you’ll have to do something for me before I give you the information…”
“No, no, no, no…..”
Steve walks up and shakes his head at the strange Elf from the shadows.
“We’re not doing that. Sorry we can’t help-“
Just then Zelda shoves past Steve.
“If you can help us find Leonard Fox then we will help you with whatever you need.”
The elf was pleased to hear her say this.
“My homeland Elftar is being attacked by a terrible dragon! If you can save my land then I’ll tell you where Leonard Fox is.”
Steve tries to intervene but before he could Zelda nodded her head.
“Okay we will help you.”
“ZELDA!”
Steve holds his arms out.
“What the fuck!?”
He pulls her aside.
“I thought we agreed. Nothing crazy. That includes magical adventures that involve fighting dragons and that mythical homeland of friggin elves!”
Zelda sighs.
“I know. I know. But it’s the only lead we have right now. You will get to your game of thrones match later!
“It’s a throne of gold match!”
Steve said with a whine.
“It’s for the XCrown Championship.”
He puts his hands on his hips.
“This is important to me.”
“And finding Leonard is important to all of us. All we have to do is take care of a stupid dragon and then we find Leonard and we go home. It’s that simple.
Steve sighs and accepts his fate.
“Okay fine. But this is the only wacky thing that happens. After this, completely normal until we find Leonard.”
Zelda smiles, hugged Steve, and they all got briefed on the dragon mission.
STEVE AWESOME
Full of Passion
“I need to win this match.”
We open on the Hard(k)ore Champion of the world as he simply nods and gives a quick shrug.
“Yeah I said it before, and I’ll say it again.”
He steps forward and points to himself.
“I -need- to win this match and become XCrown Champion for a third time.”
He gives a quick nod.
“Sure, in hindsight, maybe it makes me look vulnerable? Maybe it shows off my desperation?”
He sneered and shook his head. He didn’t care.
“But to me, the way I see it, being able to admit that shows off my desire. It shows off my will to achieve. I think it shows off the amount of passion I have for being the champion. I think it shows how much more I want it then any of them.
“The other competitors are taking jabs at it though. They think it’s cool to act all aloof and distant. Like they don’t care if they win. Typical kid shit.”
Steve crossed his arms. Steve was in great health and in tip top condition but in situations like this, it makes him feel old.
“That doesn’t sit right with me. You should want to be the XCrown Champion. You should desire it. Covet it. You should want to do whatever it takes to become the champion. When I was coming up in this business it was every wrestler's goal to become the top guy in the company that they worked for. They weren’t “just happy to be here”, they didn’t “just want to wrestle”, nah every single man, woman, and rookie knew they wanted to be the world champion. They wanted the top spot and they wanted that top money.”
“I’m just going to go ahead and put this out there. If you don’t care about winning the XCrown title, if you feel like you don’t want to win or you feel like you don’t need it then you should just grab your shit and go home. Right now. Because you clearly just don’t get it.”
Steve nods his head.
“That’s right BEEF I’m talking to you!”
He points toward the camera lens.
“If you don’t care and things don’t matter to you then you shouldn’t even show up to Night of Champions because if you do, those of us that do care are going to rip right through you.”
“And I get it, you're new to all of this. You are just starting out your wrestling career. I doubt you’ve even truly come up against any actual resistance down there in the Diamond Training Facility. And I get you are a fan….”
He shifts his weight to his left side.
“I personally wouldn’t call my movies “bad” per say but hey as long as you're buying them then I don’t care “why” you are watching them.”
He shifts back to the right.
“So let me put you up on game. From a legend to a rookie. Here is a little piece of advice that you can hold onto forever.”
Steve leans forward and talks through gritted teeth.
“THIS. IS. MY. LIFE.”
“Before all the movies and the fame and all the tv and commercial deals. Pro wrestling was my first and only true love. And you may think that I’m just saying that to be dramatic but as I stand here in front of this camera talking to you, and more and more of the legends from my time slowly drift away out to the pasture….
He points to his chest.
“I’M. STILL. HERE.”
“For twenty damn years. Im still here consistently main eventing, consistently delivering match of the night quality matches, consistently bringing you and everyone else moments that they will remember forever.”
“All because of my drive and my passion to be the best.
To be on top.
To be champion!
I don’t give a damn if I win the Crown ten times, ILL STILL be just as hungry for number eleven.
Steve glares into the camera but then he just shakes his head in disappointment.
“And if you don’t have that, BEEF, then you’re nothing.”
He shakes his head and steps forward.
“So when I say that I -need- to win the XCrown Championship. It’s not a way to draw pity or that I’m desperate or that I feel like this is my last chance…..
Steve slowly shook his head.
“It’s a warning.
He lowered his sunglasses down his nose and peered over the top of the frame and shook his head.
“For anyone that wants to get in the way of me taking what I need at Night of Champions…”
He smirked.
“Don’t.”
He pointed to himself.
“The throne and the crown will be mine and none of you will be able to keep up.
Crotch Chop.
Fade
We find Leonard Fox sitting in a small diner eating a bagel and drinking a coffee. Anytime the waitress would come by to check on him he’d just shout at her to refill his coffee and get him another bagel. After the fourth time the server had enough.
“Listen here you grumpy old asshole! I don’t know who you think you are but you will not talk to me that way!”
Some of the customers in nearby tables were cheering the server on for standing up for herself. Leonard Fox crossed his arms.
“In my day people respected their elders and didn’t talk like filthy mouthed whores.”
The server was left with her jaw dropped. The other customers started boo and jeer and shout at Leonard.
“Yeah yeah pissoffallayas!
Leonard said as he stewed in his anger and continued to eat his bagel. Just then the manager came out to solve the issue.
“Okay old man, you won’t talk to my employees like that. You need to pay your bill and leave.”
Leonard shook his head.
“I don’t have anymore money…”
The manager shook his head and called for two burly bus boys to come over.
“Well then leave before I have you thrown out….”
Leonard just glared at him.
“Awh pissoff ya bastard.”
The manager and his cronies were just about to grip up Mr. Fox when….strangely enough a small group of cats came wandering into the diner. And at seemingly just the right moment the cats started knocking over drinks onto the customers that somehow caused just enough of a distraction for Leonard Fox to slip away and out the door.
The cops were stumped, however, as there doesn’t seem to be any sign of a mangled and broken body to go along with the destroyed motorcycle. The cops decide to ask a sweet old man who was sitting at a bus stop nearby if he saw anything.
