(Firewoman and Lucky are in GM The Rick's office.)
Fire: What's going on, boss?
GM The Rick: Don't "What's going on" me. What the fuck did you think you were doing out there?
Lucky: What do you me--
GMtR: STRIKING A REFEREE. You keep assuring me you'll hold back, and then you go out there and you pop an official in the mouth. I thought you could at least keep it to competitors, but apparently not.
Lucky: Okay, so the first time is a fine.
GMtR: This is NOT the first time.
Fire: The first time in a while.
GMtR: Not funny. You've got another suspension. A nice long suspension. In fact, we'll get you just in time for your wedding.
Fire: EXCUSE me? You can't do that, I deserve--
GMtR: A title shot? You're kidding. You can say goodbye to any title shot against Darling any time soon. You want him so bad, tell your buddy Eco to get in a couple licks for you.
Fire: Rick...please....I can't go now, I know I slipped, but I need to get my hands.
*Knock knock*
(Eco walks in.)
Eco: I heard my name?
GMtR: Nothing to do with you.
Lucky: Rick is trying to suspend Fire--
GMtR: Where did you get trying from?
Fire: Listen, boss, I am not going to--
Eco: Hold on. (Eco steps between them.) Would you two mind leaving me with our General Manager for the moment?
Lucky: I don't see why--
Fire: Sure. (She grabs Lucky and drags him out.)
GMtR: She cold-cocked a referee, Juni.
Eco: I know. And she's trying to be better. And suspending her now is NOT the answer.
GMtR: You think you control her?
Eco: No. I think she's listening to me. And that's progress.
GMtR: Vangarde is listening to you, isn't he? And that son of a bitch could have pulled me into the hospital.
Eco: He is listening to me. We hadn't talked about you before then. I can make him stop.
GMtR: That's what I have security for.
Eco: Do you really trust security? As bad as everything is right now?
GMtR: I...
(Eco steps in closer and puts his hand on The Rick's shoulder.)
Eco: Rick. The next couple months are really rough. Shit is going to boil over, as it periodically does, and you're going to have to weather that storm. I understand it's difficult--I couldn't do it as General Manager. I'm here to help you because I've been there.
GMtR: How are you going to help me?
Eco: By cutting off the problem at the root, by draining the river instead of damming it up.
GMtR: Aren't you part of the problem?
Eco: Honestly? No. You saw me just let things drop with Texpress. It was tough, but it was necessary to stop the cycle. Firewoman is listening to me right now. She stopped Moose and LD from starting some real shit last week.
GMtR: She did.
Eco: I'm working with her. I'm working with Wrath. I'm holding Vangarde back like no one else could. Just please...let me keep doing what I'm doing. Let Fire stay here, give her the fine like it was her first time, and you will not regret it.
GMtR: ...you damn well be right.
Eco: I am.
GMtR: I'll give her a fine. Nothing else.
Eco: Thank you.
GMtR: Get out of my office.
Eco: Yes sir.
(Eco leaves the office, and bumps into Firewoman.)
Fire: Well?
Eco: You're taking the fine without suspension, but it took some work.
Fire: Thank you.
Eco: I really want to talk to you a bit more.
Fire: Look, I know I lost it in that match--
Eco: It's fine. I appreciate that you have been listening. Let's walk and talk.
(Eco and Fire walk off together...and as always, we...)

[Eco returns to the Salvation lockerroom, where Vangarde and Tytan are watching the match back.]
Eco: That was a hell of a trick you pulled out there, Tyler. You've definitely got some new...'skills'...since I've seen you last.
Tytan: Why did you have to get us DQed though? They were easybeats, we should have won on principle.
Vangarde: They didn't deserve to be in our ring. I was just making sure that they wouldn't be coming back in a hurry.
Eco: But at our own expense? What was that red stuff you threw at Bunny anyway?
Vangarde: Capsaicin powder. Hotter than habaneros, and with the stinging equivalent to the realisation of one's sins.
Tytan: Is that really necessary? That sounds illegal man!
Eco: I can't keep speaking for you to Rick forever. How about we work as a team for the premise of saving people, instead of pepper spraying them?
Vangarde: The first step to salvation is acceptance of your sins. My methods merely test humans.
Tytan: Well, test them on your own match this week. We need a couple of wins.
[Fade.]

(Tyler walks off leaving Eco and Tytan alone. Tytan is still pissed off.)
Tytan: Where does he get off deciding who is wort being in the ring with us.
(Eco looks interested in hearing what he has to say.)
Tytan: That is not what Salvation is all about. We had a chance to send a message tonight and we blew it because of the damn loose cannon in our bunch. You said you are working with him and now you bring in Damon....another loose cannon.
Eco: I understand-
Tytan: (Cutting him off.) I don't know if you do. You keep on trying to bring in Firewoman and it seems like it is working but the rest of this house is out of control.
Eco: What do you suggest then?
Tytan: Discipline. I go with the Warrior mentality. He needs to learn control. He needs to become a controlled chaos. Not this crap that he is doing now. No one sees that Salvation is the way to go. We look like a joke with him acting like that. I mean all Tyler is right now is another Moose with all the running around jumping people. That is not what we are. So, you need to shorten is leash. Otherwise I will find a way to hang him with it.
I need to be victorious or die in the fight. Not be dq'd because of a lack of discipline.
(Tytan walks away.)
Eco: Interesting, he has learned more then I thought already.

Ravenna, is seen leaving dressing room wearing loose flowing clothing that seems to be fairly conservative. Burkha-clad SFJ approaches her.
BCSFJ#16: Ravenna, that was quite a match, how do you feel about the uncharacteristic civility in the match?
Ravenna continues walking, slinging a black bag over her shoulder.
RB: I'm not going to lie, I am both surprised and impressed, though after seeing what he did to Firewoman, I'm curious about his angle.
BCSFJ#16: Angle?
RB: You know, why he's decided that he will torture a wrestler one night and be the epitome of fair play the next.
BCSFJ#16: Did he give you any indication why when he whispered to you?
RB: For now, that is between myself and Alexander.... I'm going to go contemplate this elsewhere. Ask me in Trinidad.
BCSFJ#16: Where are you going?
RB: We're in Cairo, one of the oldest cities standing known to man. I'm not going to miss an opportunity to pray on the banks of the Nile.
BCSFJ#16: Isn't is filled with dysentery?
Ravenna rolls her eyes and moves past towards the exit of the arena.
RB: Clearly the history of this country is completely lost on you.
BCSFJ#16:...
RB: See you on the plane.

The Texpress are boarding the plane to trinidad when they are accosted by a Randomly Numbered Sexy Female Journalist
RNSFJ: Zane, Chad. What do you have to say about losing your titles.....
(awkward silence)
RNSFJ: You aren't going to correct me?
Zane: .....
Chad: .....
RNSFJ: .....
Zane: ..... Fine. Championships. Can we get on with this, we have a plane to catch.
RNSFJ: Whatever, so soon after winning them? And what about your backstage tirade just before the show?
Chad: Listen toots, at Mayhem, we got beat. End of discussion. We work harder and this week, we get the World Tag Team Championships back.
Zane: As for my little.. what did you call it? Tirade? We have grown tired of other peoples mistakes landing on our heads. We are NOT part of Sanctum. We are NOT part of Salvation. Have a problem with them? Take it up with THEM.
Chad: So get ready to be taken to the limit again Omar, Lucas. Time once again to see if you Measure up
The RNSFJ makes the 'cut' sign to the ninja cameraman.
RNSFJ: Thanks boys, say Chad, I was wondering if you'd come help me later on. I need to decide which bikini I want to wear while we are in the Carribean.
Chad: AB. SO. LUTELY. (grabs her hand and scribbles his number on it.) It would be my pleasure
Zane just shakes his head and after the RNSFJ walks away, hands Chad his ticket
Chad: Awwww Crap. Coach Again?

**SFJ#47 is interviewing L.D. Williams.**
SFJ#47: “L.D., last night you threw away an opportunity to regain the Onslaught Title in a blatant attempt to injure Spin Hansen. What were you thinking?”
LDW: “One, I was thinking there was a minute left in the match – not enough time to put Hansen down. Two, I was thinking that Spin should know better than to mock me by telling Fire to tell me he's 'taking good care of the title'.”
SFJ#47: “Speaking of Firewoman, she seems to be drifting between Ecosystem and the Five. Your comments?”
LDW: “Firewoman is... <Williams pauses as Tyler Vangarde walks by> ...Excuse me.”
**Williams picks up the DDT Iron Man Heavy Metal Title, gets a running start, and SLAMS it into the back of Vangarde's head. Vangarde's face is driven into the wall, and he falls to the floor. Williams squats beside him.**
LDW: “You know Tyler, it's not really fair that the Rick gave me this title. I mean, it's not supposed to be defended in regulation matches, and it wasn't announced as a title match. It feels almost...I don't know...sinful. Tell you what...”
**Williams lay on the floor and drapes Vangarde's arm over him. A referee coalesces out of the ether and makes the three count.**
WINNER, and New DDT Iron Man Heavy Metal Champion, Tyler Vangarde.
**Williams drags Vangarde to his feet and spikes him with a Canadian Destroyer! He covers, and the referee counts three.**
WINNER, and New DDT Iron Man Heavy Metal Champion, L. D. Williams
**Williams props the semi-conscious Vangarde up against the wall and sits beside him.**
LDW: “There. I feel better. You feel better? Good. We both feel better. Now that business is out of the way, there's something I wanted to talk to you about. You're in the same position I used to be in. So anxious to prove yourself, but tied to this guy with so much personality, so much attitude, so many plans, that people look at you and assume you're just a lackey. Me and Moose, you and Eco, not so different. Well, somewhat different. Moose was quick to realize that I'm an ally, not an apprentice, and the fact that our paths coincide is a choice on both our parts. Not sure Eco's figured that out about you yet. The last time you two teamed up, you saved his career. Don't let him forget that. You want to make a name for yourself, and you can't do that from his shadow.”
**Williams gets up and walks away, and Vangarde starts to stir as we fade**

Firewoman sits in a bar at the airport in Cairo, waiting to board, and downing a few Jameson's. Eco pulls up a chair next to her.
FW: Really?
Eco: Do you think you should be mixing those with your sedatives?
FW: Who knows. I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Eco: Just keep on the path you're on. You're doing fine.
FW: I'm .... I don't think I can get out of the second stage, Juni. Anger....It's all I've felt for ... well, as long as I can remember. A million therapists haven't begun to touch it, with the possible exception of Dr. Sid.
Eco: Who?
FW: Some guy Davin hired, I think. Doesn't matter, he gave up too.
Eco: Maybe it was the wrong time. Or the wrong type of help. I think if you look at it right, you're kind of moving on to the bargaining stage.
FW: Huh?
Eco: Think about it. You and Darling. You agreed to a match that is so far from your personality in exchange for earning his acceptance of your apology.
FW: True, but that was his idea.
Eco: But you accepted. And you exchanged apologies with Tytan. But none of that is quite working, is it.
FW: No......
Eco: It's all part of the process, Lisa....can I call you Lisa?
FW: *visible tenses and gets...well, angry* No. Not ever.
Eco: Okay....okay......Fire....it's part of the process you just have to be patient and let it happen.
Voice from behind: She can be patient and let my ass kicking of you happen.
*Ecosystem turns around and sees Moosehead Jack standing behind him.*
Eco: I can see you two have a lot to discuss. I would never think of coming between family.
MHJ: Uh huh.
*Ecosystem stands, nods to Firewoman and leaves. Moose starts to sit down and then pulls a different chair over, and sits.*
MHJ: So, are you going to tell--
FW: Chris called. He is having Lance be his best man.
MHJ: Lance Storm? That'll be....wow, what's the opposite of exciting.
FW: Bland?
MHJ: That.
FW: Yeah, well, then he asked me who was going to be my maid of honor. I don't even know what that is.
MHJ: It's someone who stands up, like a best man, only a chick.
FW: I'm not having a maid of honor.. I like ... Best Woman.
MHJ: So who?
FW: Um....wow, I don't know......does it have to be a woman?
MHJ: Probably not.
FW: Can ... can you do it?
MHJ: Me? No way.....
FW: Why not?
MHJ: Well, largely because I'm giving you away.
FW: You can't do both?
MHJ: No, that's not how it works.
FW: Why not?
MHJ: ....
FW: ....
MHJ: I don't know,... that's just not how it works.
FW: Well, I'll figure something out. I guess I should settle up and get to the plane.
MHJ: Yeah...oh...by the way.....something else.......you may or may not be okay with this.....Rick extended a free flight and hotel stay to Rooster's dad and a few other family members.
FW: Ugh...this is getting to be annoying...all I wanted to do was do a quickie no muss-no fuss ceremony in Vegas and then get on with the Japan tour. It was the only time our schedules even came CLOSE to matching up. Oh well.....I guess if he wants his family there, that's fine.
MHJ: Well, there's more.....Rick is flying in Jericho's family, so ....... *he takes a deep breath* Vince is flying in ours.
FW: Ours? What family?
MHJ: Dad.....and Mom.
FW: You're kidding.
MHJ: Nope.
FW: But I burned dad's house down.
MHJ: He was apparently too drunk to remember that. Shocking.
FW: How did they even find Mom?
MHJ: I dunno, but at least we can see her again. I mean, it's not been as long for you, but I haven't seen her since....what's the matter?
Firewoman gets an odd look on her face and grips her whiskey glass hard. REALLY hard. So hard that it shatters and she cuts her hand, but doesn't let go. Moose races ot the bar and grabs a towel, and then goes back to the table, forcing her hand open, so he can get the glass out of it.
MHJ: Jesus, Fire. What the hell?
FW: Huh? OW!!! What....
MHJ: You just did this.
FW: Oh...yeah.....sorry.....
MHJ: Just keep it in this towel, they'll have a first aid kit on the plane.
Moose pays for the drink and gives the bartender an extra tip for the glass and towel, and they head to the terminal. We cut to a different perspective, where we see that Ecosystem has been watching, and probably hearing the entire thing.

Poe is seated in the airport awaiting the chartered flight. Selena is laying with her head in his lap while listening to her iPod. She also opens a book, then laughs.
Sa-T: I don't read.
A'isha walks to them and sits next to Poe. She takes Selena's book.
Aa-T: Of course you don't
SFJ #37 (lets call her Rachel) comes up to Poe with a mic.
SFJR: Poe, any comments on your upcoming rematch in Trinidad with Texpress?
Poe: Yes, Mr. Myers sure did get upset when I called their win last week "lucky." A'isha my darling...
A'isha sighs, opens Poe's bag, and pull sout his Tag Team Championship Belt. She hands it to Poe. Poe holds it up towards the Ninja Cameraman.
Poe: Well, here we are. Your lucky win was set right. Your glorious, measuring stick reign lasted...a mere week.
SFJR: Well they have won the Tag Team Championships...
Poe: Yes, they're the so-called measuring sticks, yet, at the same time, their so-called gimmick is that they get screwed out of the titles...
Kayfabe appears with crossed arms.
Sa-T: Hi Kayfabe!!
Poe: I seem to remember, during your Run DEA days, you were facing a team I was a member of. That partner is unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but you yourselves seemed to always "escape" with wins over us. I considered you lucky then, and I consider you lucky now. You do not impress me. But I want you to. Impress me. Impress my brother in arms Stank. Show the good people of Trinidad what you're truly made of. If not, well...you know what they say is in Texas...
Sa-T: Oil??
A'isha rolls her eyes and shakes her head.
Poe: We're done Rachel. Namaste.
Sa-T: And shower. You reek of skank. Smile for the Camera.

(Tytan is seen walking and gets stopped by a SFJ.)
SFJ: Tytan after your comments to Eco about the actions of your partner Tyler Vanguard in your last match it seems you are now partnered with Damon Wrath what do you have to say about that?
Tytan: It's simple. Wrath it's about Discipline. You need to control the rage that is inside you and release it at the right moment. Accept the Salvation that has been laid before you. You are a warrior and now you have been given the opportunity to be saved and now you need to make a decision. Will you head down the path the right way or will you follow the path of chaos like Tyler. It simply comes down to a choice and let me know what you plan on doing because if you take the path of chaos I will break you before the match and I will face Nothing Happened myself.
You walked out with us after your match now let Salvation save you and follow the path that was shown to you.
And either way Nothing Happened Salvation will be coming for you and you have two choices.
Accept it or be destroyed by it because I am Salvation and Eco will save you.
(Tytan walks off.)

[Tyler Vangarde walks into the Salvation lockerroom, holding his head. With Damon and Tytan off training tactics, Eco's the only one there.]
Vangarde: Son of a BITCH!
Eco: I saw what happened.
Vangarde: I should go and destroy that punk ass piece of sh...
Eco: That's not going to help anything, Tyler.
Vangarde: It sure seemed to help get the idea in Rick's mind.
Eco: Rick can't physically assault you like LD can. He taught you a bit of a lesson there, that you need to think through your actions and not just lash out at everything.
Vangarde: He doesn't understand! I'm here to fix the problems in the OOW...
Eco: How?
Vangarde: What do you mean, 'how'? I'm on a mission to enlighten people, to make them vulnerable so they know how it feels without salvation in their life. To make them open up to the possibility of you saving their careers.
Eco: You really class throwing capsaicin powder in peoples eyes, hitting grannies with your title belt and losing us matches deliberately 'enlightening people'? Maybe it's time we sat down and had a proper talk, Tyler.
Vangarde: Nothing is wrong with my strategy. We're just going about it two different ways.
Eco: And to what effect? Damon and Firewoman are both listening to me. Is anyone treating you different to the first time around?
Vangarde: Yeah they...well, you raise a point.
Eco: Maybe it's time to cool the teenage angst act and concentrate on your next opponent.
Vangarde: ...

Ai'sha al-Takriti is seated on the couch in Chamber V looking over some documents. Poe joins her and sits beside her.
Poe: What are you doing?
AaT: None of your business.
Poe: No need to get testy. Do you have a moment?
A'isha sits the documents on the floor and turns to face her father. Poe reaches under the couch and pulls out a small package wrapped with a gold bow.
AaT: You put a bow on it? *chuckles* That's so not like you.
Poe: I'll do anything for you. You know that. Even put a frilly bow on something.
AaT: I kinda thought you had forgotten my birthday. You are four days late after all.
Poe: I apologize. I did not forget. I never could forget the greatest day of my life.
AaT: That's sweet. Sickeningly sweet. Stop it.
Poe: Chalk up the delay to the chaotic week it's been. It's no excuse, but...well, I'm sorry.
A'isha gives a sideways grin and opens the box. Inside is a sheet of paper. She pulls it out.
AaT: Is this a...is this a deed?
Poe: Yes, my darling. I'm giving you the Kyoto complex. It's always been your home more than mine. Now that you're eighteen, you have full legal rights over it.
AaT: I...I don't know what to say.
A'isha hugs Poe. Poe smiles and hugs her back (you can tell these don;t happen that often)
AaT: Does this mean I can fire everyone?
Poe: If you wish.
AaT: Did you call Gramma?
Poe: Why would I call her?
Selena bounds into the room and plops down on the couch next to A'isha.
AaT: Uh...It's Mothers' Day.
The fact dawns on Poe.
Poe: Oh, dammit.
SaT: Hey! That's right! Where's my present?
A'isha rolls her eyes and turns to Selena with a murderous look and holds her finger in front of Selena's face.

On the plane to Trinidad, Fire and Moose are talking. Fire is without her sunglasses and hat (but with her bandanna, stupid Alex), and Moose has his sunglasses on, a rum and coke sitting in the cup holder beside him.
FW: Moose....Moose.....Fine, give me the silent treatment. I know, I know. I shouldn't have let Ecosystem talk to Rick ... but if he hadn't, I'd be gone.
MHJ: ....
FW: Of course, now I wonder what I have to do to repay this. Because no one does anything for no reason...wait, was that a double negative? I hate that. Anyway, I'm sure he'll do the whole godfather thing and remind me when he needs a favor for something. I think we should be prepared to address that should the need arise.
MHJ: ....
FW: Not like it's a new situation for me, either. *she sighs, flipping through the pages of a wedding magazine, barely paying attention to the pictures* Pretty interesting...I've got Ravenna this week. I can't tell you how long it's been since I've wrestled another woman and NO, Alexis doesn't count, and NO there will not be hot oil, pudding, or any other stupid wrestling gimmick.
MHJ: .....
FW: As far as...look, Father-of-the-Year and The Whore can't be at the wedding. They just can't. I mean, this was supposed to just be a simple, quick ceremony, no muss-no fuss, now it's turned into a... a... a thing... and I have to get a brides' maid? I mean, not that the whole thing isn't extraordinarily sexist in the first place. I don't even think you should be giving me away, I mean, not like you've had anything to do with my life since I was six, anyway, but you're a better option than... well, anyone. I mean, once upon a time, it would have been Al--
MHJ: ....
FW: Er, uh, yeah, and now I have to do that and Lucky has appointed himself my wedding planner so he's giving me these stupid dress catalogs and.....
MHJ: ....*snore*.....
FW: Dude...are you asleep? *she punches him in the arm, and he doesn't budge* Dammit!
Fire looks around and gets in her leather jacket pocket. She gets an evil smile, and then pulls out a Sharpee she had used at an autograph signing earlier. She gently lifts the brim of his Phillies hat, and brushes hair away from his forehead. He doesn't wake up. She draws in quick and gentle strokes a design on his forehead, which the camera reveals to be a New York Yankees logo. She smiles at her handiwork and gently replaces his hat. She settles back in her seat and closes her eyes. Moose opens his, looks over at her. He sees her eyes closed, adjusts his hat and leans back down to go to sleep.

Chad Madison is wanderng the aisleways of the plane He happens upon a row of SFJ's and helps himself to an empty seat
Chad: Hellooooooooooo Nurses!
Random SFJ: We're not nurses.. DUH
Random SFJ #2: Yeah, and we arne't on the clock, so no interviews.
Chad: Interview? I'm just here to make sure the crew here is taking extra special care of you ladies. Y'all are the lifeblood of this company.
Random SFJ #3: Really? That's so sweet. Would you lke to sit over here?
Chad: (sits between 2 & 3 and puts his arms around both of them.) Now, if there's anything you need... You know who to ask, right? I have alot of pull around here...
(SFJ's schoolgirl giggle in unison)
(Zane Myers appears suddenly, causing the SFJ's to sigh dissapointedly)
Zane: I thought I'd find you here.
Chad: Hey partner, pull us a seat and join us?
Zane: No
Chad: It's a long flight man, I gotta relax for a while.
Zane: No.
Random SFJ #4: How about I interview you and then you join us for the rest of the flight? You look so tense. #77 there gives great neck massages
Zane: (pondering).... Well..... Interview first
#4: (pulls out a microphone from seeming thin air) Zane Myers, Poe issued some strong comments about Texpress this week, any responce?
Zane: Poe, Imressing you is not on my agenda. Congratulations, you now have... 2 clean victories in what.. 3 months? I bet your daughter is Proud of her cheating father. This week, another chance for You to earn Our respect. Wrestle clean. defeat us twice in a row. You've never done that. But Texpress has defeated you and Stank twice in a row. In The Same Night
Chad: (still seated) No matter what. Until that happens, we are still the Measuring Stick around here.
#4: Great Job! sit by Lucy here and let her relax you... (fade out)

*Back of the plane*
Alexander Darling is sitting in the back of the plane for once and seems to be enjoying the quiet when he notices someone walking down the aisle.
Alexander: Hey Shawn, mind sitting with me for a minute?
OGM & AS SJ: Sure Alex. What's going on?
Alexander: First, I wanted to apologize for ignoring you the last few months.
OGM & AS SJ: You don't have...
Alexander: Yes I do. I went to a dark place and I thought it'd be better to get those close to me out of the line of fire. But I think I'm out of that phase now, so if you'd like to...I'd like to have you back as my interviewer.
OGM & AS SJ: Well, I dunno. I mean how do I know it won't happen again? I like this place, for some reason, but I don't want to be pushed aside for the next flavor of the week.
Alexander: The only thing I can promise is that I'll do my best not to push you aside again. That was never my intention. I just knew Moose would come after those I was close to, he's already done it, so I wanted to get all of you as far away as possible. But I'm done with him and I'm trying to focus on being the best in this company. And who better to help me than someone who's the best in her field.
OGM & AS SJ: Hmmm, I guess I can come back on a probationary period. You've got to make sure you use me to my fullest abilities.
Alexander: Oh, I plan on it. *winks*
OGM & AS SJ: Not like that mister. I mean it. I want to become the best interviewer in this company and I can only do that if you help me.
Alexander: Deal. Wanna get started now?
OGM & AS SJ: Sure thing champ. Let's start with the last few weeks. You've wrestled 2 members of Sanctum and both matches were 100% clean. Any reason why?
Alexander: Because unlike some people in this company, I want to prove that I can wrestle any style and not trip over myself trying to stay in control of my emotions.
OGM & AS SJ: I know who you're alluding to and we'll get to that in a moment. But does your attitude towards Sanctum have anything to do with the fact that your twin sister is a member?
Alexander: Yes and no. I want Alexis to do her thing and she knows if she ever needs me, I'll be there in a heartbeat. But my thoughts on Sanctum were there before she even joined. It's a necessary group to try and balance what the Five has done in this company for far too long.
OGM & AS SJ: You've had your issues with most members of the Five, but at the moment you haven't really done anything with them? Do you think they're lying low waiting for an opportunity to strike?
Alexander: The Five have this mistaken belief that Firewoman will be able to keep her head straight long enough to come after me and win this belt. They're completely delusional.
OGM & AS SJ: This is the second time you've mentioned Firewoman in this interview. Are you concerned that your history with her will tip the scales towards her? That she knows you well enough to truly be a threat towards your world championship?
Alexander: Firewoman, a threat? I don't want to take anything away from Firewoman's talent. We all know it's there. But she's never had the head for this business. It ruined her in Japan just as she was on the cusp of greatness and it's ruined her here in the OOWF. She ALWAYS gets sidetracked by revenge and feeling slighted; whether that slight is real or imagined. She gets caught in pointless, barbaric feuds with people like Tytan and Folz instead of focusing on her future.
OGM & AS SJ: Is that the reason she hasn't received a title shot yet?
Alexander: I've told her and I've gone to Rick and told him that it would be my pleasure to defend this belt against Firewoman. But she has to prove she can control herself and she can't do that. She attacks enhancement talent without regard for their health. Hell, she's even attacked referees. The moment she can prove she won't go off the handle and lose control, I'll have no issue whatsoever stepping in the ring with her. But until that day, I'll just defend my belt against those people who deserve it.
OGM & AS SJ: Speaking of not defending the belt, this week you have a non-title match against the leader of Salvation, Ecosystem. What are your thoughts on him and his newfound goal of converting the OOWF to his followers.
Alexander: I actually have a lot to say about the OOWF Messiah, but I'm going to hold my tongue for the moment because I want to hear what Eco has to say about me. But I will say something to Eco, Evans, Ravenna, Folz, and everybody else who's stepped into the ring with me recently. There's a very good reason why I've come out still champion after all of these matches and one day the OOWF will realize this. In order to beat me, you'll have to be your absolute best. There can not be a momentary lapse of judgment in your ability. You must be absolutely perfect. Do not doubt in yourself for even an instant because if you do, you've already lost. And you say its arrogance or cockiness, but the fact is I win because I'm Alexander Darling, and well, you're just not.

(Ravenna is eating at a Taco Bell when Ecosystem comes in.)
Eco: Hello there!
Ravenna: Hello. Thought you might be here.
Eco: As traditional. Where are your partners?
Ravenna: In the other car. And yours?
Eco: I'm the designated pick-up guy today. We usually try to eat somewhere scenic. By the way, nice job against that fucker Alexander.
Ravenna: Very funny.
Eco: I'm serious.You took the fight to him.
Ravenna: Didn't walk away with the title though, did I?
Eco: You took your pound of flesh. I'll follow up this week.
Taco Bell Kid: Hey mac, whattya want?
Eco: ...Do you have a New York accent?
TBK: I don't got all day, mac.
Eco: 6 Five Layer burritos, 4 steak quesadillas. Grab me three bottles of coke, one bottle of pink lemonade.
TBK Yeah, sure.
Ravenna: Lemonade is for you?
Eco: Yeah. How'd you--
Ravenna: I'm observant.
Eco: Fair. And I'm not someone who makes many changes.
Ravenna: (raises an eyebrow) Is that so?
Eco: (walking over to table, sitting down.) Yes. And the sooner you realize that the better, Ravenna. Whether the fans aree cheering me or booing me, no matter who my partner is, no matter what word choice I settle on to profess what I believe, I am the same man.And I still stand for all the right things.
Ravenna: (sighs) Don't really buy that.
Eco: What is it? The fact that I used a little tough love on Gryfon? Do you really buy everything whe's selling?
Ravenna: He's a good man. A little mixed up, a little confused, but he wants to do the right thing. You know that.
Eco: But he's going about it all wrong. He's putting himself out there as the hero all aspire to be, instead of actually reaching out and lifting people up. If he inspires people to do anything, it is to revel in their own complacent self-righteousness.
Ravenna: Generalizing.
Eco: Excuse me?
Ravenna: You're generalizing so you can make everything fit your narrative. As street preachers do.
Eco: (angered) So tell me, Ravenna. Enlighten me. How am I generalizing? What am I saying that's incorrect?
Ravenna: Gryfon putting himself out there as perfect, instead of heroic. Gryfon NEVER trying to lift anyone up. Gryfon NEVER inspiring anyone, ESPECIALLY not young fans. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me, Juni?
Eco: I...
Ravenna: You don't mean it, really. I know you. You can't. And don't give me the "tough love" line. You beat him up for no good reason. Maybe you thought you were teaching him something, but there's no way you made a good-faith effort.
Eco: (pounding the table) The how the FUCK do you expect me to get through to him? Because talking hasn't done ANY good.
Ravenna: What have you ever sold him on besides bowing down to you?
Eco: Oh, not you too. You really think Salvation is about--
Ravenna: About you? Yes, yes I do. Or at least, it's completely focused around you. look at the Defenstrators, look at Team TEaM, and look at you now. It's different.
Eco: Well, maybe I realized there needs to be direction, okay? Maybe I was SICK and TIRED of just going with the flow, waiting for things to change.
Ravenna: And that's great! Really, it can be. Like, when you took down Poe...I really was quite impressed. I know you can take control and do well. But...you just can't trust yourself as much as you do right now.
Eco: What do you mean?
Ravenna: I expected you to help me lead Sanctum. To lead the charge against the Five. To identify the thing bigger than yourself, and focus on it.
Eco: The main problem is not the Five. The main problem is this industry.
Ravenna: The main problem of the world is not genocide, but we fight it whenever we can, because we can't spend all our time focusing on some abstract big picture. Whether you mean to or not--and honestly, I hope you don't--you really have been making yourself out to be some kind of messiah. And it's just...disappointing. I'm just disappointed. That's all.
Eco: You...I...you just don't understand. You're ignorant, deluded--
Ravenna: Again, you don't mean that. You don't. I know you don't.
Eco: ...I don't.
Ravenna: I know.
Eco: What would it take?
Ravenna: Excuse me?
Eco: What would it take for you to join Salvation?
Ravenna: I don't think--
Eco: Look, you're right about one thing. I can change. And frankly, Ravenna, I think you have the right vision for this company, but you're just having trouble seeing it through.
Ravenna: I'll grant you that.
Eco: So what could I do? What could I change, what would we have to say differently or do differently to sell you on this? We are doing something good here--you'll even see it this week when you wrestle Fire and look into her eyes. There's the spark of a peace, a peace she hasn't known in a long time. Irrationals like Damon are a harder care, but we'll work through. We're doing good, Ravenna. We are. We're just missing something.
(Eco puts his hand on her arm.)
Eco: We need you.
Ravenna: Don't.
(Eco pulls back.)
Ravenna: Well, I was done anyway. (Ravenna busses her tray, dumping out her plate.)
Eco: Ravenna, please--
Ravenna: Juni, don't.
(Tytan enters through the door.)
Tytan: Eco, you've been forever. Hey Ravenna--
Ravenna: Hi Tytan. Bye Tytan. (Ravenna walks out.)
Tytan: What's that about?
Eco: Eh. She's just not interested right now.
(Tytan snickers.)
Eco: Why are you snickering?
Tytan: You know. The old note.
Eco: What?
Tytan: The letter from Ravenna.
Eco: ...No, I don't.
Tytan: ...wait a second, did I not...
Eco: What?
Tytan: Well I found a note...addressed to you...about three months ago.
Eco: ...
Tytan: ...Maybe longer?
Eco: ...
Tytan: Did I... (Tytan checks his wallet.)...oh yeah, it's here.
(Tytan hands Eco a small piece of paper, which he unfolds.)
Eco: ...wait...how long did you--
Tytan: I don't even remember at this point.
Eco: Ah. This was--
Tytan: A few weeks after she debuted. So you see why I found it funny?
Eco: Actually...no, I don't. Pick up the food.
(Eco heads for the door.)'
Tytan: oh no you don't.
Eco: Excuse me?
Tytan: Rule of Team Team #53. Don't let a dramatic exit...
Eco: ...get in the way of picking up Taco Bell.
Tytan: Right.
(Eco and Tytan collect their bags.)

*Between matches at the local indy show, Love Me For The Money plays, and Wally B King struts out in a splashy pimp suit. Walyy waves the crowd to silence, and Have a Drink on Me plays as Outback Jack makes his way through the crowd, handing out beers, until he makes his way to the ring*
OBJ (drinks beer and belches): Australian for Hooray Beer!
*crowd goes crazy*
OBJ: I'm excited about this week's match. I remember when Matt Folz did, um, well, when he, you know, OK, I'm not exactly sure who he is or what he's ever done, but I'm sure he has a long history of existence, both to himself and the community. What matters is, I get to kick his ass at Mayhem!
*crowd pops*
OBJ: There aren't too many OOWF originals left, but this old bastard will stay true to it!

Ravenna quickly exits the apparently common Cairo Taco Bell and gets in the car where a hidden ninjacam shows Crete thumbing through a Spandex Monthly catalog.
CTG: Citizen Blue, is everything alright?
RB: Gryph, we're heading to the airport now please.
CTG: Did something untoward happen in that common eating establishment?
RB: No Gryph. We're just leaving NOW please!
Crete throws his magazine into the backseat and gets the car moving.
Ravenna does not turn to look back at the Taco Bell, but does seem to be gripping the handle on the car door with some ferocity.
CTG mumbles: By the way, I thought you were a vegetarian, Citizen?
RB: Not now Gryphon.

(Tytan sits as he watches Damon Wrath. He is going through some drills that Tytan is pushing him through.)
Tytan: That was not good enough. I want perfection.
Damon: (Stopping.) I don't see what in the hell the point is in doing this crap.
(First off pushing Damon to the ground and then joining him in a push-up position.)
Tytan: (Begins the push-ups.) Now begin until I tell you to stop.
(Damon pushes and Tytan hits two for every one that he does.)
Tytan: It's about discipline. If you are going to go anyway and understand what Salvation is and what it can do for you you need to have some discipline. Not go fly off the handle and go attempt to beat up whoever you think you can beat up.
(Tytan gets up and watches Damon.)
Tytan: Keep going. Now, where did your old way get you.
Damon: (Grunts)
Tytan: Exactly, following the may of a warrior will change that. I will turn your mind into one of a Spartan. I will help you see that there is another way. That way is Salvation and that will also mean victory. If there is no victory then there is only what?
Damon: (Stops and looks up at Tytan.) There is only death.
Tytan: (Smiles) Good. It seems something is finally starting to seep into that thick skull of yours. Eco will be proud to see the progress you are making.
Damon: Now, do I continue with the exercises.
Tytan: Yes.
Damon: And we go until they are perfect?
Tytan: Yes. You will become a true warrior yet. And that team we will be facing....
Damon: Nothing Happened.
Tytan: Yes, they will see the same it is Salvation
(Jump cut to Damon)
Damon: Or death.
(Tytan then faces the camera)
Tytan: We are Salvation and we are here to save you.

Hayden Panettiere holding a mic, waiting for Matt Folz to finish his workout. Folz coming towards her.
HP: You know you haven't promo'd in over 2 weeks?
MF: I'm aware. Call it a combination of being busy training, not having much to say, and being apathetic about my opponents. I mean I'm not expecting title matches every week, but who the hell is Damon Wrath? Why did I even have to waste my time with someone not even CLOSE to being in my class? And this week I face Outback Jack? Tough son of a bitch, but I mean....really? Come on. You know why I signed with the OOWF?
HP: The money?
MF: Well yeah, but more than that.
HP: Because you hate the WWE?
MF: Also true, but not what I was getting at. I signed here because I want to face the best. So, I'm right here and now issuing a challenge to the best wrestler in this company...
HP: I don't think Alex is going to give you another title shot.
MF: I didn't say Alex. He may happen to be world champion, and yes, I for some reason can't seem to beat him. Which by the way, REALLY is pissing me off. But he's not the best pure wrestler in this company. No, I'm issuing a challenge to LD Williams.
No titles, no backstage attacks, no personal grudges, just pride. Just a one on one match at the next pay per view, a chance to go up against the best wrestler in the company, to prove to all our fans and to everyone in the lockerroom that I AM one of the elite wrestlers in the company. Mr Williams I hope you take me up on this, I await your response.

*SFJ 53 strides through the Destroyitarium to find the members of D&D enjoying adult beverages*
SFJ: Outback Jack, Matt Folz has just issued a challenge to LD Williams! Any comments?
OBJ (drink, belches): Australian for nobody knows LD better than I do, and let me tell you...
Spin: Actually, Moose knows him better than you do.
OBJ: Right. Aside from Moose, nobody knows him better...
Wally: And of course there's his Momma.
OBJ: Obviously, Wally. I meant among the wrestlers.
Wally: Oh, nevermind then.
OBJ: OK, aside from Moose and LD's Momma...
DHM: What about Donny Viper?
OBJ: What about him?
DHM: They're brothers!
OBJ: Half-brothers.
DHM: Still, they are related.
WBK: I don't think they're all that close.
DHM: But blood is thicker than water.
Spin: I never understood the point of that saying.
WBK: I think it means...
OBJ: Do you guys mind if I try to answer the question?
DHM: What question?
OBJ: The question the sheila asked me.
Spin: Sheila?
OBJ: You know, the sexy female journalist.
DHM: I thought her name was Shannon.
Spin: I suppose we could call Stank... No, not worth it.
OBJ: Right, well, as I was saying, aside from Moosehead Jack, LD's Momma, possibly Donny Viper...
DHM: What about Canadian Dragon? They were partners, ya know.
Spin: Didn't LD hang with Johnny Adrenaline back in the day?
OBJ: OK, aside from several other people, nobody knows LD better than I do, and...
WBK:Looks like she's lost interest, anyways.

[The camera briefly cuts backstage to show Tyler Vangarde preparing for his match. He's visibly concealing a sachet of his red powder into his taped wrist as Ecosystem walks in.]
Eco: Don't do it. Win, on your own merit.
Tyler: Who said it was for my match?
Eco: Concrete still has a chance at redemption. In fact, if it wasn't for your brash attempt at shock tactics, he'd be in the fold with us right now.
Tyler: Doesn't mean he shouldn't feel the pain he's made me feel over the years.
Eco: You're starting to sound a lot like Moose, yknow. That worries me.
Tyler: There is no Moosehead Jack in Tyler Vangarde. He sets out to hurt people for his own benefit. I'm doing it for theirs.
Eco: Just remember the plan, OK?
Tyler: Whatever, Juni.
[Vangarde continues taping over the sachet. Scene fades.]

A few hours ago, safely on the airplane with the other OOWF staff, Ravenna makes her way over to where Alexis Darling is sitting her eyes closed, listening to the in-flight music. Ravenna reaches down and taps on her armrest. Alexis' eyes open to look at her.
RB: *mouths* Can I have a seat?
Alexis takes off the headphones and indicates the empty seat next to her.
RB: Thanks, sorry to wake you, but before we touched down in Trinidad, I wanted to talk to you.
AD: Something on your mind?
RB: Yes. I am going to have to face it, there are three factions vying for space in OOWF.
AD: And?
RB: And we either step into our role, or get demolished in the wake of The V or Salvation.
AD: I have heard a lot of you saying we need to get into action, but you haven't ever solidified what you wanted. Don't you think the problem here is your lack of vision?
RB: Well, I thought it would be *our* vision. But then Juni and Tytan....
AD: (interrupts) Look, if you keep crying over Eco and Tytan walking on you, you're not going to go anywhere. Either suck it up and be clear about what you want, or watch Sanctum be made obsolete.
RB: You make it sound black and white when it's not.
AD: Of course it is. You riled people into trying to get together and fight the V, but then you sat back and let Eco take over. Now look at him. You're good at talking, but you laid your trust in others to see the goal through. If I have one piece of advice for you, know that the only person you can trust is you. So either follow through, or step back and watch.You can't do both.
RB:....
AD: Do you know what it is that you want?
RB: I think so, yes.
AD: Well then you need to stop sniffing the incense and get to acting. Be sure you know what you want before trying to get our attention again. You have a match with Fire to think about....and survive.
Ravenna nods slowly, clearly thinking about what she's said.
RB: I see your point and appreciate your advice. Thanks Alexis.
AD: Sure thing Rav.
RB: You can call me Becca.
Alexis looks confused.
AD: Um okay.
Ravenna stands and makes her way back to the seat next to Gryphon. Alexis puts her headphones back on and leans back, closing her eyes again.
fade out.

Firewoman APPROACHING~! Ric's Sandwich Shoppe after a workout.
RF: WOOOOOOOOO! What'll ya have, missy?
FW: We've talked about the 'missy,' Ric. Don't make me--
RF: WOOOOOOOOOO!! That's right I forgot. Alright, place the order, I ain't got all day. I got jet-flyin' to get to WOOOOOOOO!! and limosine ridin' WOOOOOOOOOO and--
FW: The usual, Rick. Veggie burger on organic whole wheat, lettuce, tomato--
RF: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Ric takes Fire's money and then heads to the back. She taps her foot, checks her manicure, and tries to basically be invisible to everyone around her, when Ric comes back. He's got a bandage on his forehead from where he started to bleed from walking around the corner.
RF: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Sorry, missy, no can do. I just sold the last one.
FW: Dammit, don't call me...wait, sold the last one? To who?
Flair points down the line where the condiments are, and we see Ravenna Blue putting ketchup on a sandwich.
RF: WOOOOOOOOOO!! I can make you a hamburger, it's the same price...
FW: You are an idiot.
Firewoman walks toward Ravenna, as Ric throws his apron to the floor and elbow drops it a few times.
FW: That's my sandwich.
RB: Huh?
FW: The veggie burgers. Ric gets them especially for me, since I'm the only vegetarian here.
RB: Were.
FW: Huh?
RB: WERE the only vegetarian here. Ric is going to double up from now on he said.
FW: Still, scrape that mustard off and give it to me. I'm hungry, I just got done working out, and I'm in no mood.
RB: What? You're crazy.
FW: That is the popular consensus. Hand it over, I'll scrape the mustard off myself.
RB: No way! This is my sandwich, I paid for it. I don't care how crazy you are, or pretend to be, you're not going to intimidate me.
FW: *raising an eyebrow* Really?
Firewoman punches Ravenna in her bad shoulder, causing her to drop the sandwich onto the floor.
FW: Ooops.
RB: Dammit! Now look what you did!
The two women glare at each other a bit.
RB: You know, Eco said that I would see peace in your eyes. But I don't see that at all.
FW: Yeah? What do you see then?
RB: Defiance. No wait....rage. A whole lot of unfocused and misdirected rage. But definitely not peace.
FW: Yeah? And this evening in the ring? All that rage will have a direction and a focus. And guess who that is?
RB: Oh, I know. But I'm still not intimidated. Look into my eyes. Do you see intimidation there?
Firewoman's eyes lock with Ravenna's. Firewoman smirks.
FW: Hm...if I said "spunkiness" would you be offended?
RB: Deeply.
FW: Oh, well, we can't have that, now, can we? Okay, fine. How 'bout..."determination."
RB: That's right.
FW: well, we'll see whether "rage" or "determination" wins out tonight, won't we?
Fire slaps Ravenna playfully on the bad shoulder, and she winces a little bit.
FW: You had a great showing against Alex last week. Very impressive. But I'm not Alex. No matter what he says, deep down he knows who the better wrestler is.
Ric comes out of the grill area.
RF: WOOOOOOOO!! Hey Fire!! I found another veggie burger! Just the way you like it! WOOOOOOOO!
FW: *smiling at Ravenna* cool, thanks Ric. *she takes it, and tosses a tip in the jar. She takes a bite* Damn that's good. See you tonight, Ravenna.

<Fire is walking down the hall and is about to take a bit of her veggie burger when a kendo stick comes down across her hands, sending the burger to the floor>
FW: WHAT THE FUCK! SOMEONE DIES!
<Fire turns around and sees Moose standing there with the kendo stick, before she can react, he swats her upside the head sending her to the floor. Moose stands over Fire and she looks up at him snarling>
MHJ: I FUCKING HATE THE YANKEES!!!
<Fire’s look goes from rage to amusement and she starts laughing, Moose looks like he is going to hit her again, then softens a bit and tosses the kendo stick aside and laughs a little and helps Fire to her feet>
MHJ: Nice little joke, don’t ever fucking do it again
FW: Or?
MHJ: Or, next time it won’t be a kendo stick
FW: Fair enough
<Moose turns to head off>
FW: Where are you going?
MHJ: Gotta talk to someone
FW: You want me there?
MHJ: No. You stay far away
FW: Jerk <Fire trails Moose anyway and we see Moose walk into Ric’s Sandwich Shoppe>
MHJ: Ric, got my order?
RF: YOU GOT IT BIG MAN! WOOOOOOOOOO! ONE VEGGIE SPECIAL FOR THE MOOSE! TO BE THE MOOSE, YA GOTTA BEAT THE MOOSE!
MHJ: Shut up Flair
<Moose walks over to Ravenna, who is sitting stewing, drinking her drink. He drops the sandwich on the table and sits down uninvited. Ravenna quickly looks around expecting an attack>
MHJ: You seem nervous
RB: Uh huh. What do you want?
MHJ: Nothing, I saw you had some trouble with Fire, so I got you a sandwich compliments of The Five
RB: I don’t think so
MHJ: It’s just what you like
RB: I suppose I should trust you, there is no telling what is in that sandwich
MHJ: It’s still wrapped tight. Open it and look
<Ravenna examines the sandwich and looks at Moose, who looks bored. She takes a small bite and does not fall over dead, so she relaxes……..a little>
RB: So what do you want
MHJ: Who says I want something?
RB: You ALWAYS want something
MHJ: I saw your little conversation with Eco
RB: Yeah, and? I am fairly certain you are not going to counter with an offer to join The Five……..not that I would anyway
MHJ: No…….I know that. I think you should consider Eco’s offer carefully
RB: Oh do you now
MHJ: Look, you asked me my advice on Crete……..
RB: Which turned out to be wrong
MHJ: Don’t be so sure. Anyway, you asked me because I knew Crete, well I know Eco as well
RB: oh really, you didn’t sound so thrilled with him when he was trying to save Fire
MHJ: <ignoring Rav> Eco is very manipulative, but, I think he may be onto something here
RB: Uh huh
MHJ: You are not a leader Rav. You don’t need to be weighed down with the responsibility of leading people by the nose. You are a doer. You take care of your business in the ring. Think about what Eco is saying, all Crete is going to do is drag you down and lead to your destruction. You know as well as I do that Crete has completely unrealistic expectations. He can never achieve his goals, all he can do is kill himself, and anyone around him, trying
RB: And Alexis?
MHJ: <laughing> Alexis? Really? She is a Darling. She always will be a Darling. She is every bit like her brother – she is completely out for herself. She sided with you to save face. She NEEDS people around her, because she isn’t good enough yet to be on her own. She hooked up with you, and she latched on to Davin. Once she gets her legs under her, your cause will be an afterthought and she will be gone. She has nothing but HER interests at heart.
RB: <shaking her head> You are doing this to throw me before my match with Fire tonight
MHJ: No. Fire doesn’t need my help. But the very fact that that is how you see it proves my point. You have to worry about everyone else in Salvation, and yourself last. You side with Eco, and you only worry about yourself
RB: So, you think I can’t beat Fire?
MHJ: <Sits back and smirks> You CAN, but WILL you? You need 100% focus to beat Fire. To me, it sounds like you can’t focus on much of anything right about now. You enjoy your sandwich Rav
<Moose gets up and leaves, Ravenna just glares at him as he walks out of Ric’s. Almost immediately Fire grabs Moose and spins him around>
FW: What the FUCK was that about?
MHJ: Don’t worry about it sis. I was just having a little chat with a fellow competitor
FW: Trust you?
<Moose just laughs and walks off>
