| Luke – Wooo, come on Heros
[Luke is sat alone in Thrax's locker room watching Retaliation on the TV. The Hometown Heros are making their way down to the ring as the sound of the door opening and then closing distracts his attention. Turning he sees Thrax standing just inside the door, and then turns back to the TV with a smile.]
Luke – You owe me a beer.
Thrax – I owe you a beer?
Luke – Yes. Oh come on, don't say you didn't notice the way Princess was looking at you. She wants you.
[Thrax walks across the room to the back. Sitting on the bench he begins to remove his boots]
Thrax – Yeah yeah. You know where the cooler is if you want one. Why aren't....
[The question never gets finished as the bell rings. Both men stare, glued to the screen and the action before them. After a few moments Luke suddenly throws his arms into the air.]
Luke – GREEN MIST!!
[Thrax laughs and picks up a sports bag that was laid at the end of the bench]
Thrax – Right, I'm going to shower. You'll have to let me know what happens
[A seemingly agreeing mumble comes back as Thrax heads into his shower area and shuts the door.
The match progresses with Luke getting more and more into it. As a self-proclaimed “smarky fan” he chooses to suspend belief and enjoy his lifelong obsession. After many “ooh”s, “ahh”s and general comments the final bell sounds. The cheer from Luke drowns out the sound of the shower area door opening.]
Luke – OH YEAH!! Get in there!
[Thrax walks out of the shower area now in a black tshirt and dark blue jeans. His hair pushed back to keep it out of his face. He throws the bag across the room and it lands near the door with a thud.]
Thrax – I'll assume it's a good result then?
Luke – Jun hit a modified Showtime splash and won the belts for the Heros
Thrax – Nice. They deserve the titles. Did you get the Wi-Fi working?
[Thrax sits back in the chair and picks up his laptop from the table]
Luke – Yeah. Once I said I was with you they soon gave me the details.
[Thrax starts to type away on the laptop as Luke watches Timmons and Daniels discussing Ryan Shane. Moving things along they introduce the International title match as a smile crosses the face of Thrax.]
Thrax – There's somewhere I need to go. Mind if I leave you here?
Luke – Off to see lovergirl?
[The comment is met with an unimpressed look. As Luke goes back to watching the PPV, Thrax puts on his coat and heads out of the room]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The apartment door opens and Thrax steps inside. The words of Ruthann still running around his head as he removes his coat. He starts pacing the living room, vocalising his thoughts to the emptiness. In his thoughtful state his mind darts around, not really focusing on any one thing.]
Thrax – Two matches in and already people want to work with me. Maybe I should take this offer? They are a great team and have the titles. I could learn a lot from Yun and Mark and Ruth..
[He stops pacing momentarily]
Thrax - And Princess..
[Thrax goes back to walking around the room]
Thrax - Princess.. She just seems... I'll have to contact her sometime..
[The look of thought on his face become more intense]
Thrax - But can I trust them? Princess' eyes say she is genuine, but Mark seems protective so might snap.
And what do they want with me anyway? I'm zero for two so not most people's first choice. Yeah, I put on a good showing and took out a serious contender in the battle royal, but I've not won yet.
[He stops again, this time his eyes spotting something in the half-open side pocket of his bag]
Thrax - Wait, what's this?
[Thrax picks up a piece of paper from his bag. It bears the official EWA paper header. Reading downwards he sees the card for the next Shatter Point]
Thrax– Must have been delivered during the battle royal. I guess Luke put it in here.
Let's see..
Tag team..
Shane announcement...
Another tag..
Celebr...
[A smile crosses his face as Thrax reads one line over and over again in his head.]
Thrax – That's it... My way to show the Heros I'm serious...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The picture wobbles as it focuses on a black outline stood on top of a wall. A light rain is falling in the dimming light of early evening. The figure is outlined by a trenchcoat flowing in the breeze as they stand with their arms outstretched to the sides in a crucifix style position. Leaning forward they begin to fall. Performing a somersault in midair, they land in a crouched position and go straight into a forward roll to their feet. After a couple of steps to dissipate momentum they stop in front of the camera. It is at this point we see that it is Thrax, his wet hair slicked back from his face.]
Thrax – Zero for two. My record here in EWA. Not the sort of 100% record anyone wants to have, especially in their first major company. Yes, I didn't get pinned. Yes, I eliminated a former multi-time champion. But that means nothing to most people. What you need is wins, and I seem to be lacking those.
[They start to walk, the camera keeping perfect time to remain in front of Thrax for a face-on shot]
Thrax - But despite that, I seem to have interest on both a personal and business level. I'm sure many of you saw Retaliation and the brief backstage interaction between myself and a certain female. Well, I'm going to give you internet-rumour hounds the truth. Yes, messages have been exchanged. Yes, we have met up outside of a work environment. And for the fans that keep saying I'm in with the Hometown boys... Well... You're right. I'm not going to lie or hide behind the misdirection that many companies like to use on these things. Thrax and Princess are getting on outside of wrestling, and she has somehow persuaded the Hometown Heros to ask me to work alongside them. Watch this space guys as I'm sure more details will be released as a group soon.
[Thrax gives a smile to the camera]
Thrax - Now, with that in place I feel I've got to prove I'm right for them. What better way to do that than become number one contender to the International Title? With Jun and Mark holding the Tag Team titles I need to help bring more gold to the table. It won't be easy though. Cassandra Avery will be looking for revenge for the battle royal elimination so I'll have to watch out there, but I think I can beat her.
And then there is Ruthless Aggression... Well, the name speaks for itself. We may have teamed up at Retaliation, but now I need to step out and win. So Ruth, if the chance comes I won't hesitate to pin you or make you tap out. I need to show your faith is justified.
And I'm sure that the EWA fans want to see that International belt in the hands of an International star. I don't want to disappoint. I may be the only Non-North American currently in contention, but that means I'm going in twice as hungry as everyone else.
So Jun Yao..
Mark Jackson..
Princess..
EWA Fans..
For you I stand.. And I shall not break my promise..
[He pulls up his hood leaving only the bottom half of his face visible]
Thrax - Come Shatter Point, The Lone Wanderer will walk away with his first EWA win.
[Thrax walks past the camera and off into the distance as the screen fades to black]
