It's been a long time since we've seen Denver, Colorado. It's a dreadful looking day unfortunately. Forecast is looking for a thunderstorm for most of the afternoon. Reporters and fans are lined up near the runway awaiting for the arrival of H2O coming in from Tokyo, Japan on a red eye.
An Emirates Jet is slowly coming down the runway as airport crews start to work quickly to ensure safety before deboarding.
Inside, H2O is sitting in a private suite looking outside his window at the flash photography of the paparazzi. The crowd signs read “We Can Make H2O Great Again”, H2O taste like bull&%!t”, “#HeadRooklives Matter” and countless others.
H2O slouched in the seat, emotionless with a hoody on and some sweats, sees the anger and frustration from The OCW Galaxy. He also feels it to. To come home after leaving the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlution, as a loser to his one time friend, Anthony Baker. Also, the sudden abandonment of his girlfriend, Heather Angelo has left an empty feeling inside.
Attendant: Mr. Ocean…Mr. Ocean. Are you alright?
H2O: I'm sorry, hun. Yes.
Attendant:You may leave now sir. Your press conference awaits.
H2O grabs his backpack and shades then heads out of the jet. He make his way to the runway where there's a podium set up for him.
There's a mixture of cheers and grumblings from the crowd. Flash photography has increased. Thank god for the shades. Reporters are fighting each other already to ask the first question.
H2O: Good afternoon, Denver. Wow, I haven't been here since I left back in November sometime with… Heather. But anyways, it feels good to back home with all of you and my immediate family.
H2O: It seems like there's a storm coming so let's try to make this quick as possible. I'll start to answer questions now.
An OCW staff member picks out a reporter to ask a question.
Reporter #1: Hey Mr. Aerial Assassin of Denver? Do you think Heather was with you cause you were once a winner and left you because you’ve been losing since the derailment?
H2O: Mr. Aerial Assassin of Denver? Are you trying to be funny? Next question.
The reporter was baffled at the fact H2O disregarded his question.
Reporter #2: Rumor has it that Kappa wants to fight you for Head Rookie status. Is it true?
H2O: Ugh, look the Head Rookie is in the past. I killed my rookie class and they're gone. You know what hold on.
H2O: Enough of these lame questions from you folks. I want to hear from The OCW Galaxy. I want real questions. Security, remove the media from the front and put the fans here. The media I want in the back.
Police officers and airport security removes the media and exchange them with enough fans that can fit in the media area. There's some commotion from the media and some had to be removed. The fans on the other hand are appreciative.
H2O: Now I want to know how you truly feel about your Aerial Assassin. I'll pick them.
H2O: You there, with the backwards 49ers hat? (Laughs) go ahead.
Fan #1: At the end of the day, can you look in the mirror and honestly say that your parents are proud of what you have accomplished this far??
H2O looks over by the limo where his parents are standing. His mother is blowing kisses at him while his father is just standing there with his hands in his pocket. H2O squints his eyes and noticed.
H2O: Happy Mother's Day, mom. You know I couldn't miss being with you today. But to answer your question.
H2O: Yes. I'm sure they're proud of me. But I know also they'll tell me that I can do and be much better that I have been recently.
H2O: My parents came from nothing to something. Nothing wasn't ever handed to them. They had to work hard for all they have now. My sister and I never experienced what they had to go thru growing up.
H2O: I was always the rebel. My sister always fell in line. Daddy's little girl I guess maybe. That's why she's in the Air Force and I'm a fighter.
Everyone chuckles a little bit. H2O looks over and noticed his Mom trying to console his Dad after that comment.
H2O: I realize though that I have to instill that same work ethic that BOTH my parents worked hard for and make sure their upbringing of this Ocean doesn't go in vain.
H2O:Good question, sir. Next question. Yes, you right there in the front with the Sauconys on.
Fan #2: What makes you different than every other rookie who has stepped through OCW claiming you won't give up, that you will be great, why should I believe in you?
H2O: When I came to OCW I came in with a sense of confidence. I wanted and still want to start a movement and lift OCW up to another level.
H2O: People invested their time, patience, and credibility towards me and because that reason and that reason alone I will never quit. I'm not a waste of time, I'm not a waste of energy and I'm not a waste of space.
H2O: All I ask from my fans is to not give up on me. Great things take time. I can't cry over the past or worry about the future cause it hasn't arrived. I must worry about living in the present and making every moment count. One match at a time. That is the difference between me and the rest of the rookies that stepped forth here.
H2O: Thank you too for that thoughtful question. I'll take one more before I go. Yes, you there way in the back with the “H2O taste like bulls(beep)t” sign. What do you want to ask?
Fan #3: Why do you continue to pretend that you aren't the biggest disappointment in the ocw galaxy this season?
H2O takes a moment to respond as if he took a gut shot that knocked the air right out of him.
H2O: I am the biggest disappointment this season. There's no question. The level of competition here is uncanny. I've never experienced tenacious brawlers like a Paul Pugh or tactical fighters such as Kassidy Hayes. I even underestimated Cort Marshall. I wish I can get that one back.
H2O: I refused to believe that I was a disappointment. I kept telling myself that I'm the best of the best before even got my feet wet. I accepted the fact now that I'm not the best of the best. I never had to work hard at anything before. It just came naturally.
H2O: I know now that nothing comes naturally in OCW. If you want anything here you'll have to earn it. The foundation of earning ANYTHING is to work extremely hard. Anyone can beat you on any given match. Fight wisely.
H2O: In order to do that I just have to sit down and be humble. Regather my thoughts on how I want to carry on my legacy this year.
H2O: I came in wanting to fit in so bad. My immaturity caught up to me and my career has suffered. My apologies for making the city of Denver look so bad.
H2O: Everyday will be a new opportunity to make myself a better athlete. I will continue to be strong but not rude, be kind but not weak, be humble but not timid, be proud but not arrogant.
H2O: I thank you sir for that tough question and thank you City of Denver for coming. I must go now and get some rest folks. I'll see you in NY.
Flash photography starts back up again as security escorts H2O to his limo where his mom and dad awaits inside. His mom hugs him and he shows no emotion and his dad reaches out to shake his hand and H2O just gives him a fist bump as the limo pills off from Denver International.

WHAM!
KAPOW!
We're live in the backstage area of Riot as the camera's pan to the resurrected OCW Hall of Famer... Versus.
Everyone in the back has a smile on their face again. Versus catches up with Tom Sanders and Randy Rice from the Turmoil commentary team. Versus shakes their hands and gives them a hug.
He carries on walking past Jim Black and Stacy Clark who all wave at him with the rest of the OCW staff. Suddenly Versus stops as standing in front of him is the man that tried to murder him. OCW legend... Leonheart. Leon appears to have some sort of bag in his hand.
Leon: "Relax, I'm only here with a peace offering."
Leon goes into his bag and pulls out a food bag, inside is, what appears to be a hefty bacon cheeseburger, one of Americas finest.
Versus: "Sooooo, the truck didn't work. Pulling the plug didn't work. Are you trying to give me food poisoning, or high cholesterol?"
Leon: "No, not this time, not at all. What me and Jack did to you was awful, unspeakable."
Versus: "Dude, you tried to kill me...twice!"
Leon: "Yeah... I know. That's why I was hoping I could give you this cheeseburger and that maybe we can let bygones be bygones?"
Versus: "Wait...let me get this right. You're coming to me like "Dude, the whole killing you thing...yeah, my bad. Here's a burger?!."
Leon: "I totally understand. What I did was damn right awful. I am...I was a piece of sheeeet but you helped me Versus, you helped me see the light.
Leon: I know now why everyone lights up when you enter the room, you're the nicest person I have ever met in my entire life.
Leon: You do anything to help anyone, you're a hero to everyone here and you really did help me see the light. I want to help people just like you do."
Leon sounds very sincere.
Leon: "We affected a lot of people and drove Nate to drink so to you and everyone that we affected, from the bottom of my heart. I am deeply sorry."
Versus is thinking.
Leon: "Now I hate cheese but just to show you that this burger."
Leon pulls out the New York Cheese burger from the bag.
Leon: "I really, really despise cheese but just to show you that this burger is not poisonous in any way I am going to take a bite off it. I mean it's nothing compared to what I put you through right?"
Leon takes a bite of the cheese burger. His face goes pale as he chews the bite and then swallows it.
Leon starts retching.
Versus: "Here...let me, um...hold that burger for you."
Leon looks as if he is going to faint.
Versus: "You don't luck so good dude?"
Leon: "I... Hate... Cheese!"
Versus: "Here... Drink this."
Versus passes Leon a bottle of water. Leon opens the bottle and starts drinking it.
Leon: "Thanks. So does this mean?"
Versus who is eating the cheese burger.
Versus: "Look, (he swallows a piece of the burger) as MLK said, 'darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. (eats another piece of the burger) Hate cannont drive out hate, only love can do that.'
Versus: The reason you saw the light, is because I'm filled with the light, I'm filled with the love. In my time on this planet, (finishes off the burger) I will make as many people as I can, see the light and have them spread the love.
Versus: If I had to suffer so you can teach more people to be able to feel...know love, it was all worth it. It's ok brother...I forgive you.
Just as Versus gets done eating it...
