Paul: Holy shit dude! I can’t believe it!
Enigma: Yeah man, Dame Edna is a dude.
*A couple of people who are walking past laugh a little at Paul’s apparent ‘stupidity’. It’s not until the group are out of earshot of the Aussie Rebels that Paul cracks up and Enigma stares at the distant group in bewilderment*
Enigma: Damn, they really believe your act don’t they? Didn’t they see that episode of ‘What are they really like’ with Jase?
Paul: Nah, they don’t get SBS shows in the US.....except for South Park, Drawn Together, and the Boondocks.
*They continue to walk down the streets of LA towards the ‘Dragons Cave’ gym. It is a beautiful, sunny, 85 degree day, and even the local gangs seem to have taken a day off of the turf wars to enjoy the weather.....don’t know why, as this is usual LA weather, but who am I to judge? Anyway, I digress....They reach the gym and enter as Forewell takes a dive into the first foam pit. They try to hold back a laugh as he struggles to get to the bottom of the pit. As he finally gets to the bottom, the two enter the gym and get into the vacant ring in the middle of the gym*
Enigma: Man, a lot of really weird things happen in UGWC hey?
Paul: Nah, that’s probably the only seriously crazy guy we have.....Used to have some space nutter who used to hang around with a Communist Russian, but even Forewell is crazier than that.
*Enigma laughs*
Enigma: I think I remember that guy, was his name Tim Kingsley or something like that?
Paul: Yeah, something like that.....we just called him Nerf herder.
*Enigma laughs as he ducks a clothesline attempt from Paul*
Enigma: Looking forward to your title fight mate?
Paul: Hell yeah man! I have a good chance of at least holding some gold too.
*Paul leapfrogs over a running enigma, who bounces of the ropes, and is met with a hiptoss from Paul. He picks himself up*
Enigma: Why do you think that?
Paul: Well, it’s the cross Hemisphere championship right? I am from the other hemisphere, and it’s been all North Hemispherians who have held the title in UGWC, maybe I can bring home the gold on that notion. It’s probably also worth mentioning that John Russo guy wasn’t able to compete last week because he was injured; so that should still be hanging over his head. As for Pierce, the guy is unpredictable, but if I win against Russo, then you know that I am going to take the bastard to the absolute limit.
*Enigma takes the opportunity that has presented itself and hits Paul with an ensiguri as Forewell gets out of the pit and follows Alex up to his office. Enigma laughs as Paul lays on the mat dazed*
Enigma: Yeah? Well, you aren’t going to win the title leaving yourself open like that.
*The scene skips a few minutes ahead as Paul and Enigma leave the ring*
Enigma: Dude, I have to go and plug that match against the Newbie’s. I’ll see you around.
*Paul starts to towel himself down as A-Kis makes his way out of his office. Paul notices and figures it might be a good opportunity to get some insight into how to fight Pierce if he won against Russo*
Paul: Hey.....HEY! ALEX!
*A-Kis turns to see Paul; he looks somewhat perplexed as he generally didn’t call out for him much. Nonetheless; he makes his way over to Paul*
Alex: Hey Paul, what can I do for you?
Paul: I need some insight into how Pierce operates in the ring. As you’ve had to deal with him for a while, I thought that maybe you could give me some pointers.
Alex: What about your friend JK? He took on Pierce in the invitational tournament a few months ago.
*Paul nods solemnly*
Paul: I would normally see what he could offer, but with the recent murder charge, he has been meeting with his Lawyers like crazy. And even if he wasn’t, I don’t think he is really there mentally right now.
*Alex furrows his brow in thought*
Alex: Alright Paul, I’ll give you a few pointers on Pierce.
*The scene fades away to JK in a room with his Lawyer; he paces the room as his Lawyer is scribbling down some notes, possibly arguments for the case at hand. The Lawyer finishes writing, takes off his glasses and looks at JK*
Lawyer: Are you sure that there were no witnesses to the act apart...
*JK cuts him off*
JK: Apart from Jasmine, yes.
*The Lawyer sighs*
Lawyer: Right, well then we’ll need some character witnesses to talk about your normal attitude in your work, in your private life, is there anyone you can think of?
JK: There is one person that I can think of Dan...
*Once again, we fade to the backstage area of the UGWC Arena. We see Jet Somers walking through, and soon, we see Dan the Lawyer walk into shot*
Dan: Mr. Somers?
*Jet turns*
Jet: Yes?
Dan: Mr. Somers, my name is Dan DiMaggio; I represent Mr. King as his legal counsel.
Jet: Mr. King? Do you mean JK?
Dan: Yes. Now as you are possibly aware, my client is currently undergoing a certain legal issue, and we require some character witnesses to help paint a picture of what he is like.
*Jet shakes his head in confusion*
Jet: So where do I fit in all this?
Dan: Jet, may I call you Jet?
*Jet nods*
Dan: Jet, as I said, we need character witnesses. Now, Mr. King personally named you as a perfect candidate as he believes that you can give us the best result as you are not personally related to him, and you can give the best judgement of his character from a workmate standpoint. We need you to help Mr. King out of this mess he is in, will you help?
*Jet seems a little conflicted as to what to do*
Jet: umm, yeah; I’ll help JK out. Just give me a court date.
*We fade to Paul practicing his moves in the ring. As he gets up from a practiced flying Lariat a voice chimes in from the front row*
Voice: With moves like that, Russo and Pierce had better be scared.
*Paul faces the front row*
Paul: Glad to see you here JK.....but I thought you weren’t allowed to come to the shows?
*JK gets out of his seat and climbs over the barricade and into the ring*
JK: Here on court business buddy. Dan is backstage getting some character witnesses.
*JK gives a half hearted smile. The first smile he has given in weeks*
Paul: Reminiscing to before all this shit happened?
JK: Yeah, back to when I’d hear the fans chanting my name, to when I was the youngest champion in GIW history, as well as the longest running GIW.com champ in history. Marrying Jasmine in this very ring over a year ago...
Paul: Hey man, don’t worry too much. You’ll be out of all this....I just know it...
*JK gives another half-hearted smile*
JK: Thanks man.....So, the big Numero Uno contender to the Cross Hemisphere title huh? How’s it feel?
Paul: If I’m honest, I am absolutely terrified that I’ll screw it up the first chance I get...
JK: Don’t worry too much about it. I mean, worst case scenario, you lose that shot, and you work your way back up. You did it once, you can bloody well do it again, mate.
Paul: You’re a good friend, man, thanks.
*JK goes to leave the ring*
JK: No problemo dude, just do me one favour and kick as much ass as possible!
Paul: Will do, mate, will do.
*JK takes a sigh and exits the ring as Paul throws a few more shadow punches, building up the speed of the strikes with each punch as we fade away*
Enigma: Yeah man, Dame Edna is a dude.
*A couple of people who are walking past laugh a little at Paul’s apparent ‘stupidity’. It’s not until the group are out of earshot of the Aussie Rebels that Paul cracks up and Enigma stares at the distant group in bewilderment*
