His music still blasting through the PA System, Antonio Everrett steps through the curtain in gorilla position, where the various backstage begin clapping and cheering as he stumbles through the area. Blood still pouring down his forehead, he is bombarded with medical officials holding cleansing wipes but he shrugs them off timidly..
Antonio eventually slows down when he eventually reaches Terra Daturas, who is stood with her palms clasped together. Though she is slightly pale in the cheeks and lightly shaking in anxiety, she has a wide smile on her face.
Terra: How do you feel?
Antonio doesn’t even say a word, he just throws his arms around her and begins softly sobbing into her shoulder for a good thirty seconds.
Terra: I am so proud of you!
Everrett lifts his head up and looks into her eyes; he’s still an absolute bloody mess. Terra grabs the towel draped over his shoulder and wipes his face, and then dries his eyes. She places her hands on either side of Everrett’s cheeks.
Everrett: ...We did it.
Terra: No, Ant, YOU did it.. I was there to simply guide you on the path Mater Natura intended. I knew you could accomplish this goal all along.
Terra: Can we please get Mr. Everrett some assistance?
Terra is waving to officials and medical staff.
Everrett: … I hate it when you call me Mr. Everrett…
Everrett still seems out of sorts after his grueling war with his former best friend. His eyes are glazed over slightly and his words are slurring a little. Terra notices this.
Terra: We must get you to the doctors, your spirit has willed your body forward, but it can only take so much. You do not seem okay.
Everrett: No... no… I don’t need them to look after me… I want you to do it.
Terra smiles and shakes her head at Antonio.
Terra: You must not be so stubborn all the time. Come on then!
With that, Terra heads over to the medical officials and grabs the supplies required to tend to Antonio’s wounds. She puts Antonio’s arm over her shoulder and assists him to the locker room as the scene fades out.

Picture perfect! |
Previously at The Combat Center
It’s been a long time since I had time to think. Last time I did, I considered myself as The Future OCW World Heavyweight Champion.
But the future is now. As your current, reigning and defending OCW World Heavyweight Champion - I will always attempt to reach new heights.
As we fade from black we see Harvey Ocean sitting in the back corner lounge area of The Combat Center. Everything is turned off except for a big screen tv on the wall.
Harvey stands there with his cell phone at hand. He presses on the screen of his phone and an old OCW Film is played on the television.
The Ambition Era’s ”Canadian Dragon” Tiberius Dupree, Lucas Dimsmore and them together were Seriously Fire. If my role model “Mr. Air F’n Canada” Zac Moore was there with them like they were in the indies, he would’ve bridged the gap between the two OCW Legends.
These two men hated each other even though they had an unbelievable bond.
Much like Bobby Minio and myself. We could’ve become legends together. The Inception meant we were The Beginning. But unfortunately all of us together meant the beginning of the end of ALL of our friendships.
(Sigh), now I sit here constantly watching film after film of Hall of Famers. I come to realize I am much like my idol Zac Moore. I am that bridge that merges Dimsmore and Dupree. As I watch countless hours of film of these two I learned a thing or two.
Not everything has to be High Octane. Some things can be slowed down and methodical like Dupree. In some cases, damn near sadistic and bone breaking like Dimsmore. But I think I covered a fraction of that part against KD and Drago.
A Tiberius Dupree highlight reel shows him finishing various opponents in a multitude of ways. Harvey keens in on one move and particular.
He pauses the video and rewinds it back to the beginning of the moment that sets up the maneuver. He watches again and again and again.
Elijah: Mornin’ Mr. Ocean!
Harvey’s trance is broken by the new upcoming talents arrival to The Combat Center Elijah Sanders.
4:30am on the button. Punctual and professional. I like this kid already. But….
H2O: Drop your bags right there and give me some push ups until I tell you to stop.
Elijah is shocked by The OCW World Heavyweight Champions attitude. He drops his bags and starts to do push ups right away.
Elijah: Mr. Ocean what...did I...do?
H2O: Early is on time. Right on time is late! Keep going!
You hear Elijah counting to himself as Harvey goes back to studying tapes.
I have to test and strengthen this kid’s resolve early and often. You think you do everything right in a match but it’s that one little thing that may cost you some push ups….
In my case...The OCW World Heavyweight Title.
Harvey pauses the video of Dupree doing a move as Harvey cracks a little grin.

OH MY GOD!!! |

NO WAY! |
We enter the Kasstianity locker room to see Empress alone staring at a CD case for a moment before taking a seat on the floor. She takes the CD out of the case and puts it into the CD player. “The Sounds of Nature '' by Terra Daturas starts playing on her phone.
Empress takes a deep breath and lets out a heavy sigh.
Empress: I can’t believe I'm doing this but, I have to do something I can’t let my temper get the best of me this time. It cost me too many matches and friends.
She closes her eyes tightly trying to block out the random sounds of the noise from the arena. As the sounds of the arena fade away the soft sounds of wind blowing through the rustling leaves and birds chirping can be heard coming from the speakers of the player over taking the locker room.
Empress: Clear head...Come on get it together...get it together.
The moment she seems to become relaxed she hears what she thinks is The sound of Ashley Moore’s voice coming from the CD Player. Empress starts to tighten up her fist in anger as she tries to ignore the sound of her voice. Before getting annoyed and tossing the CD Player against the locker.
The sound of Empress screaming and metal banging can be heard from the outside of the room’s door as Staff members come running into the locker room to see what was going on only to find Empress insanely beating the hell out of the CD player with a chair.
Empress stops for a moment and looks over at the door to see Staff members staring at her. She drops the chair on the floor, clears her throat and sweeps the strains of hair out of her face.
Empress: The fuck you looking at? I was testing anti-skip technology!
The staff looks at each other with a very concerned look on their faces before slowly backing out of the room closing the door behind them.
