Defeated and still broken, Bray retreats to the backstage area, shooing away Tom (or maybe it was something else, who cares) and drops to the floor into his locker room. Seconds later, a pair of feet meet his stomach and a towel is thrown over his head.
Ace: Brother…
Bray: Hm?
Ace: You lost…
Bray: Hm…
Ace: To Jett…
Bray (clenching his fist): Hm…
Ace: It's fine. I won at 206 though…
Bray: Hm!
Ace: But you lost…
Bray: Hm...
She steps off of him, helping him to his feet afterwards. After a second of tense silence, Bray clutches his chest and grunts to himself.
Ace: You need to regroup and... brother?
Bray:
The camera pans to the announce team.
Reset, recharge!
Yep!

Strong thunderstorms are moving into the New York area. An all white bronco, much similar to the Killer Running Back’s vehicle in ‘94, pulls in an alleyway.
The headlights turn off and a shadowy figure hops out from the back. As the camera zooms in to get a closer glimpse on who it is.
It’s H2O in gear that looks very much like Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe. He’s equipped with a grappling hook with a rope, flashlight, glass breaker and a utility belt that puts Batman to shame.
H2O: (Whispers) Is this going to work?
Baker: You say that like you’re talking to your “new friend” Vallll…..Kyrie Irving?
H2O rolls his eyes.
H2O: Yeah, he can’t win a championship with just Jimmy Butler. Definitely not here in New York.
H2O goes along with it smoothly. He looks at the camera and shrugs.
Baker: (Laughs) Good one, Best Friend. Now let’s get you in there and get in that time machine! Why are we doing this again?
H2O: Harvey has to retrieve that Buff Blaster Dimsmore offered to me a few months back and drink it. It’ll help him have some sort of chance against Mugen.
Baker can be heard speaking to his tag team partner thru a wireless headset H2O is wearing. He’s getting a play-by-play calling a former Purge member who’s stationed in the van.
He can see what H2O can see with a mini camera installed onto the headset.
H2O hides out in an alleyway behind a couple of dumpsters and awaits for some intel from Baker.
H2O: Harvey appreciates everything you’re doing for him being that that’s your Fasha.
Baker: He’s no fasha of mine. He’s just old news from The Old Country.
Baker: Look up ahead! That’s the place!
H2O puts on his cloaked hood and starts to move in what looks to be an office building.
Baker: He’s going to hear you with all the crap you’re carrying with you. I told you it’s unnecessary.
H2O: This can’t be a place of a Hall of Famer? Tiberius had a fortress. This place looks….
Baker: Unsafe? Yup, it sure is buddy! Took me some time to get out of there and now you want to go in. You’re insane.
H2O: No, Harvey is The Good Light!
Baker starts to give him instructions.
Baker: First, did you bring the IPod that Ryu has given you?
H2O checks his utility belt and finds it.
H2O: Check!
Baker: Does the batteries work?
H2O: How should H2O know?
Baker: Okiiieee dokiiiiiiieeee. I would check it now than laaaaateeerrrr.
H2O is growing in frustration as his partner begins to eat in his ear. A loud crunch can be heard over the headset.
H2O: Grrrrrr….
H2O presses the mute button on the headset and tries find a way on his own. Oddly enough, there aren’t any doors thru the alleyway. There aren’t any windows on the side of the building either.
Harvey stands there flabbergasted with his hands on his hips. Baker can still be heard thru the headset.
Baker: Hello? Anyone home? Harvey? H2O? Good Light? Champ? Anyone of those guys please answer? I’m lonely.
H2O shakes his head. As he does so, his attention was caught by a clanging sound. It’s the wind from the storm moving the door to the metal fence back and forth against the chain that holds it closed.
The World Lightheavyweight Champ walks in that direction to see if he could make an attempt to break in from back there.
Apparently there’s a “backyard” filled with metal barrels and stacked wooden boxes. Got knows what’s in those things.
Harvey sees a metal garage door in the back. H2O unmutes his headset.
H2O: Do you see what Harvey sees?
Baker: Yeah. You may need to watch your Dingleberry here.
H2O uses the hook and rope to get over the 5ft fence. He uses it effortlessly to get over the top. Even in this heavy rain. Harvey hops down and walks over to the door.
Baker: Did you really need to use the hook there? The fence was so low you could’ve just jumped over.
H2O: Yup, just to prove you wrong (Chuckles).
H2O: Uh oh! The door is opening! H2O didn’t do anything.
Baker: Dude, did you press any buttons on that IPod?
H2O: Yeah, to see if the batteries work! That was your idea!
Baker: Oh no no no no! Remember I said to watch your dingleberry?
The garage door opens and The Good Light vision is blinded by a the brightest light he has ever seen.
Baker hears a whirlwind of noise over the intercom. Baker’s calm demeanor turns worrisome as he calls onto his friend.
He hears Mugen’s alarm sound off and still no response from Harvey.
He yells frantically for his tag team partner and still doesn’t receive an answer. He just hears the sound of the rain at this point.
The alarm stops and Baker blasts thru the van doors. He rushes down the alleyway, climbs over the fence and sees the aftermath.
Thunder and lightning sounds off and the rain turns horizontal. Baker looks around and calls for his Best Friend. The alleyway looks desolate.
Baker looks down and picks up the headset H2O was wearing. He looks up and sees a large burnt area in Mugen’s garage.
That’s where Baker saw The Time Machine they the video feed.
Baker: Still don’t think this was a good idea, Best Friend. Hurry home.
Baker is left kneeled down with Harvey’s headset in his hands as scene fades.
The camera pans to the announce team.
Not again!
Have we learned nothing?

THATS WHY ITS CALLED HIGH RISK!
Oh man!
A tall man in a blue suit is seen walking backstage in the Turmoil backstage area. As the camera pans up, he is seen shaking hands and shouting at many OCW stars and staff members alike.
D. Dillinger: Lookin’ good, champ!
D. Dillinger: Hey there, boss.
D. Dillinger: How’s life, chief? Niiiice!
D. Dillinger: Hey did you talk to that guy, get back to me soon.
As Agent D. stops in his tracks, he sees his newest client, Tayy Breizee, who was recently introduced on RIOT 510.
Tayy sees his agent and opens his mouth to speak.
D. Dillinger: Tayy!! Big daddy, Breizeeeee. What’s crackalackin big homie?
Tayy puts his head in his hand, annoyed, and attempts to correct his agent.
D. Dillinger: I know, I know. Hey! So how are you liking this place, eh? Turmoil! Man! This place is bigger than I thought.
D. Dillinger: I dunno, though. I think red is more your color, don’t you?
Tayy grins at his agent and raises his hand before…
D. Dillinger: ... I already know! GREEN is more of your color, my main man! I like the way you think!
D. Dillinger rubs his fingers together in an upward motion, the universal sign for money.
Tayy and Agent D. begin to walk back up the hall, Dillinger clenching tight at his lapel walking by another group of stars and continuing his generic, business man opening lines. His hand on the shoulder of a certain Turmoil star elicits a reaction…
Valkyrie: Excuse me?
D. Dillinger: Hah! Young lady, it’s fantastic to meet you too! My name is Den--- Actually. I'm not allowed to say that around here, I almost forgot! Hahah! Here, take a card!
Valkyrie suddenly turns around and looks annoyed by their presence, as she was preparing for her upcoming fatal four way match
Valkyrie: Great, another self absorbed duo that only thinks about money. As if ShowBlitz wasn’t enough!
Tayy takes exception to the comment, but before he can respond.
D. Dillinger: Money makes the world go around little la… Hey wait a second. Aren’t you Valkyrie?! Ha! Yes of course! Turmoil’s top star! You’re even more impressive in person! Hahah!
D. Dillinger:Hash-tag Do-it-for-Valk, right!? Well I’ll be! Sorry for the disrespect, I’m surprised you don’t have a whole posse following you around… yo!
Tayy puts his hand on Agent D’s shoulder and shakes his head
D. Dillinger: I know, I know. Look, babe. How would you like to team up with Tayy and I here and we’d become the most lucrative team in this industry?
Valkyrie: When will people ever learn that money doesn’t matter at all in life? Take me for example:
Valkyrie: The song I wrote with Quartz, “AC Water Snake”… it’s the number one song on Spotify, it has over 8423792543232431523532 billion views on Youtube and made us sell over a Godzilion of copies of the mixtape. Some say we contributed more to the music industry with that song than John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan combined, and I couldn’t agree more.
Valkyrie: I could technically consider myself “rich” now, but you know what I did with the money? I donated all to charity.
Dillinger gasps at the thought. His single gold tooth shines as he shakes his head eagerly. He leans in close to Valkyrie for his proposition.
D. Dillinger: An untapped gold mine! Let me let you in on a little secret .. Charity is great… but charity doesn’t pay the bills, hun. You think you’re making money NOW… Wait til you team up with me.
Agent D. leans back from his close encounter and shakes Tayy’s shoulder overly aggressively.
D. Dillinger: Ain’t that right, homie?.
Tayy looks directly at Valkyrie and shakes his head disapprovingly before extending his hand out to the Turmoil star, offering his silent apology.
Valkyrie seems to understand Tayy’s intentions and shakes his hand: she then looks directly to him, ignoring Dillinger for a moment
Valkyrie: Tayy, it seems to me like you are the brain of the duo, so let me give you a piece of advice:
Valkyrie: Teaming up with someone is cool and all, but sometimes you are better off on your own. And trust me, I know a thing or two about fake friends…
Tayy grins at the new advice but before he can thank Valkyrie himself…
D. Dillinger: Tayy! My dinkin’ flicka. We have work! Vaaaaaalk, Vaaaaaalk, my talented new friend! Good luck in your performance later. I know you’ll kill it. Here’s my card in case you get tired of giving all of your money to sick children and endangered dolphins. Hahaha!
Tayy shrugs and shakes his head at his agent as both men continue down the hall. Dillinger can still be heard yelling as they walk out of distance. Valkyrie looks on annoyed.
