Night time on the sunny California coast. We open in the room of El Rey as he lays asleep in his bed. It’s dark and no lights are on, but light shines through the crack in the curtains from the moonlight and streetlights outside. The young star is the only thing we can see in the room until a shadow creeps up and blocks the light on the bed. Suddenly, the shadow begins to glow green. The change in light seems to bother the sleeping El Rey. He rolls over towards the light, squints his eyes open and remarks sleepily.
El Rey: Stop being creepy Zoran. I don’t like it when you watch me sleep.
El Rey rolls back over and pulls the blanket over his head as the glow holds there for a minute, and we’re left in silence, until we hear a creak of a door and the glow fades.
Zoran: What was Zat my boy?
Zoran creeps from out of the bathroom and into El Rey’s bedroom. El Rey rips the blanket off of his head and looks up at Zoran.
El Rey: I said stop watching me when I sleep. It’s creepy.
Zoran: My boy, I was in zee bathroom.
El Rey: You woke me up glowing over me like some kind of ghost.
Zoran: Zat wasn’t me.
El Rey: Sure it was. Stop watching me and let me sleep.
Zoran looks around the room confused. Maybe his protege was just dreaming? Talking in his sleep? Whatever it is he doesn’t see anything of danger and we fade as EL Rey rolls back over and goes back to sleep.
What you saw in round one of this tournament was only the beginning.
Like I told you then, this is in my blood. Tag team wrestling comes natural to me, and when I have the most dangerous man to ever step in a ring by my side, no one stands a chance.
Thanks to us, you’ll probably never see those two new people ever again. Back to the indies for Bull and Bird.
So what’s next?
Unfortunately, it’s my new friends in the Anointed.
That’s a tough draw for me. I don’t want to cross my new friends, but this is just business and they’ll understand.
They know how much I want this, how much I need this. I need to be a global Triple Crown Champion as much as Steve needs to join the three time X*Crown Champions club.
They know what this is, a business, and for the Anointed business is good.
We open on the ouija board that El Rey found in his house when he moved in. The dusty old wood board is now cleaned and covered with meats and cheeses. The piece that the board uses to speak to its user now has become a dip holder. Noise fills the air as we cut wide and see an Anointed party at El Rey’s house. Steve has the TV remote and he’s searching for his greatest hits, Shit Storm 1-infinity streaming on PlutoTV, while AVB and Crane are shooting the shit near the wet bar. El Rey comes out of the kitchen with a tray of sandwiches in hand.
El Rey: Lunch is served my friends. Thanks for helping me warm my new crib.
AVB and Crane turn to El Rey and each grab a sandwich and raise it up in cheers.
Crane: Glad to be here man.
AVB: Yeah, this place is nice man, even if something feels a bit weird.
AVB turns and winks at Crane behind El Rey’s back.
Crane: Yeah, it’s like, maybe this place is haunted or something.
El Rey sets the tray down and turns back to his friend stablemates.
El Rey: Now that you mention it, there have been some weird things happening and the last owners sold quite abruptly.
Steve is ignoring everything as he tries to decide which Shit Storm to stream for his team. Meanwhile, AVB’s eyes widen.
AVB: Oh really? Maybe this house is…
AVB nudges Crane before he continues.
AVB: …haunted.
Crane fakes shivers as El Rey’s eyebrows raise.
El Rey: Nah. Nothing that weird has been going on.
Just then. The lights go out and the only luminance in the room is the glow from the TV, until we she a glow sneak out from behind AVB. The small figure begins to moan and head toward El Rey and El Rey leaps and screams, and then laughter.
AVB: GOTCHA!
The lights come back on and with the light there’s just a sheet over a little person. Crane pulls the sheet off and Hasbulla stands next to AVB and Crane laughing.
El Rey: Damn guys. What was that for.
Crane: Just some new guy hazing my friend.
AVB: Just a joke man. Don’t worry. Ghosts aren’t real. We were just playing with ya.
Steve: I’ve got it!
The rest of the Anointed turn to Steve in front of the TV and Steve exclaims.
Steve: Gotta start with the original right? Let’s watch the first one. It’s a classic.
AVB: Classic? More like a rotten egg.
All the men laugh, but join Steve in the living room to watch anyway. Behind them the Ouija board begins to glow, but no one notices.
AVB, Hasbulla, I know we haven’t known each other long, but know this, I think of both of us as friends, maybe even family.
Unfortunately for you, if you go back and watch Guns season 3 the Earth Day Spectacular to see how I treat family once that bell rings. I’ve got no problem doing whatever it takes to get the win.
So I’m sorry Hasbulla.
If you enter that ring with me it won’t be for a quick pin attempt like it was against Sky Force. I won’t be working with Steve to help make your life easier. No, I’ll be in the ring and if you come at me I’ll lift your little ass up and toss you ten rows deep into the crowd. If you try and bite my ankle to help AVB. I won’t bestie to punt you so far there either be NFL teams calling me for tryouts. I think of you as a little brother, a very little brother, but that won’t stop me when that bell rings.
And AVB.
We’re pretty much the same. Except for, you know, the part where my legendary father was actually there for my life while yours was a deadbeat drunk who wouldn’t claim you.
Even still.
We’re more alike than we are different. It’s part of the reason it was easy for me to join the Anointed just like it was easy for me to join New Money a few years back. We were both born to be in this business. It’s in our blood. We’ve trained our whole lives to get here. And now that we’re here we do whatever it takes to get the job done.
That’s why I didn’t hesitate to work with Steve to help you and the little guy get through the first round. But that’s not going to happen now. Even if Steve and Crane help you by keeping Zoran out of the match like we did for you last week, it won’t help you like it did last week, because as good as you think you are, I’m better. While your claim to fame is being one half of the tag champs in HardKore World, my claim to fame is fighting through matches just like these ones to get global shots. That’s how I won my first X*Crown and that’s how I’ll move on to win the XHF Tag Team Championships too.
So you may be blessed AVB.
Blessed with talent.
Blessed with friends.
But when it comes to that ring, to global competition, I’m just a bit more blessed than you.
It’s evening. All the other members of the Anointed are long gone and El Rey is alone cleaning the dishes left over from his house warming party. The Ouija board is resting in the dish rack as El Rey is wrist deep in soapy water. The Ouija board begins to glow and just as El Rey reaches down to pick something a knife comes flying out of the dish rack and gets impaled in the wall right where El Rey’s head was. El Rey stands up, looks up and sees the knife. He looks at it sideways and pulls the knife out of the wall and washes it and puts it back in the dish rack.
El Rey: Stop being creepy Zoran. I don’t like it when you watch me sleep.
El Rey rolls back over and pulls the blanket over his head as the glow holds there for a minute, and we’re left in silence, until we hear a creak of a door and the glow fades.
Zoran: What was Zat my boy?
Zoran creeps from out of the bathroom and into El Rey’s bedroom. El Rey rips the blanket off of his head and looks up at Zoran.
