So it begins?
::Scene::The scene opens up with Devon stretched out along his bed inside of his hotel room. Staring up at the ceiling, his piercing pale green gaze sparkles with the thoughts that are passing through his head, as they replay results of AWS’ Animosity from last week. Sitting up he then chuckles running a couple of fingers through his thick dark locks, as his thoughts drift back to the after party causing him to smirk.::Scene::
Devon
Man what an after party we threw together.
::Scene::Chuckling again, he swings his legs out over the edge of the bed, placing the bottom of his feet on the thick carpet floor.::Scene::
Devon
Lukas’ time was last week, at the PPV it’s going to be my turn.
::Scene::Smirking again he makes his way over to the TV in the den like area, flipping it onto ESPN Sports Center, as it promotes “The Seasons’ Beatings” its tag line being “Rookies vs. Vets.; The War has begun, which side will you choose?”::Scene::
Devon
Season’s Beatings, Rookies vs. Vets, the battle has begun? So those who have here since the opening days of this company are sacred? Calming that we newbie’s are stepping into these halls treading on their legacy, on their toes, stating that we are disrespecting those who came before us?
::Scene::Chuckling Devon shakes his head, once more running his fingers through his thick dark locks.::Scene::
Devon
Do they not forget that once they were where we are now?
::Scene::Shaking his head, he checks his watch noticing what time it was, 2:30 in the afternoon. Shutting off the set, Devon grabs his shirt sliding it over his toned and tattooed, powerful upper body. Hearing the knock on the door, Devon chuckles.::Scene::
Devon
Right on time as usual dad.
::Scene::Moving over he throws the door open seeing his dad and brother standing there.::Scene::
James
Well ya ready son?
Devon
You bet, you ready to be my practicing dummy all over again Lukas?
Lukas
*smirks* We shall see Dev., less we not forget who got the first win around here between us. So you might want to rethink that statement, about me being the dummy around here.
Devon
*chuckles* One win, and your ego is already almost too big to fit through the door here. We shall see when I am kicking your ass in that practice ring, before securing my own win at the PPV.
::Scene::Both brothers smirk chuckling, before James smacks his sons on both of their backs.::Scene::
James
*chuckles* Alright enough you two, save it for the practice session huh?
::Scene::All three Manson’s laugh before heading out as the scene fades out on the door clicking close behind them.::Scene::
My Time
::Scene::The scene re-opens with Devon and Lukas inside of a training ring, within a downtown gym. Standing in front of his older brother with three unknown young men, seem to be trying to get into the same business as the Manson family has been part of for a long time, wanting to make their own mark.
Leaning against the ropes, Devon listens to his father’s instructions as he stands on the ring apron.::Scene::
James
Alright son, Lukas, Jim, Ryan, and Mike here are going to represent your opponents in the five man rookie battle royal.
Devon
Well two of them are really ugly women then.
::Scene::Smirking, Devon chuckles as his dad punches him in the shoulder, as Lukas just rolls his eyes and shakes his head.::Scene::
James
Pay attention Devon. Now with you probably being one of the biggest, if not one the biggest person in the battle royal everyone will……
Devon
I know dad…..I know….everyone will most likely come after me first, seeing me as the biggest threat, and trying to eliminate me first. Cane just get on with it, and ring the damn bell.
::Scene::Rolling his eyes and sighing at his son’s impatient ness, James shakes his head before hopping down and grabbing the ring bell, ringing it.::Scene::
*DING*DING*
::Scene::Smirking Devon starts to move towards the center of the ring, as Lukas and the three others start to encircle him. As this “dance” goes on in the ring, those in it don’t notice AWS’ very own roaming reporter, Vanessa Dane, along with a remote camera crew, entering into the building. Watching as the other four start to corner Devon, James locks eyes with Vanessa, smiling as he shouts instructions to his son.::Scene::
James
Come on Devon!!!! Don’t allow them to corner you that will give them an opening and make easy for them. Get yourself to the center of the ring and make them work for it.
::Scene::Returning his smile Vanessa makes her way over to where James is standing as Devon fights his way out.::Scene::
James
That’s it…..Mrs. Dane.
Vanessa
Mr. Manson
James
Please call me James.
Vanessa
Then I insist you call me Vanessa.
James
Fair enough.
::Scene::Nodding his head James smirks, as he turns his attention towards the wring, Devon eliminating two of the wannabes with a double clothesline over the top rope, after making them miss. Instructing her cameraman to get some footage, which he does, Vanessa turns her attention back to the matriarch of the Manson family.::Scene::
Vanessa
Thank you for inviting me to this little training session of yours.
James
You’re welcome…..come on Devon don’t allow yourself to back against the ropes, again that’s a way for them to get to you, and eliminate you so easily.
Vanessa
Though I am quite shocked that you would, I would think that you would want to keep a lid on what Devon can do until the PPV and the match.
James
Nonsense, I want the others that are going to be in the ring with my son to see what he can do. Besides I also want the veterans to see why they should be scared, when it comes to someone like Devon.
::Scene::Turning his attention back to the ring, Vanessa following they both grimace as Devon delivers a devastating one handed chokeslam to the last rookie onto the floor below, leaving it now down to himself and Lukas. After going back and forth, Devon gets the upper hand after a wild punch that Lukas throws, completely missing him, allowing him to dump his younger brother to the floor. Turning, James smirks at the younger woman.::Scene::
James
See what did I tell you? Devon’s the victor here, and well be at the PPV.
Vanessa
Impressive I’ll have to admit.
::After heading to the outside and helping his brother up, Devon looks over noticing the interaction between the two. Frowning and growling as he undoes the gloves and tape from around his hands and wrists, he marches over there and leans against the ring apron.::Scene::
Devon
What’s this all about?
James
Devon this is Vanessa Dane…
Devon
I know who the hell she is, I just want to know what she is doing here. Shouldn’t she be out worrying about the so called real stars?
James
Devon I had….
Vanessa
What your father is trying to say is that he invited me to get the perspective stand point from the rookies’ side.
Devon
Is that so?
::Scene::Seeing both his father and the young woman nod, Devon sighs shaking his head, running a couple of through his thick dark locks once more, before nodding.::Scene::
Devon
Alright….
::Scene::Smiling she nods, before setting themselves up in a couple of the steel folding chairs that are lying around ringside. Having her cameraman position himself so they are both in the shot, Vanessa starts the interview process.::Scene::
Vanessa
I am here with one of rookies, new bloods of the AWS if you will, Devon Manson. Devon your father invited me here today to get a glimpse inside the mind of one of the many rookies here in the AWS, especially with this war that seems to have kicked up. The vets of the AWS claiming that young guns such as yourself, aren’t respecting what they have built, your thoughts?
::Scene::Smirking as he leans forward, Devon chuckles a bit. Rubbing his hands together, he stares are her, his piercing gaze burning a hole right through her.::Scene::
Devon
My thoughts?
::Scene::Seeing her nod, Devon chuckles again, before continuing on with his answer.::Scene::
Devon
My thoughts are simply this; they are just trying to keep the status quo the way it is, thinking that we don’t deserve our shot with the lights on bright. But I ask you, were they any different at one time? Were they not at one time where people such as myself are now? They’re scared that once we step up, going face to face and toe to toe with them that they will be shoved into some dark closet and be forgotten about. Do I respect those who came before me and cleared the path of people like me? Hell yeah, but I believe that they have every right to be scared, cause guys like, who have put a lot of their own blood, sweat, and tears into getting as far as we have at the moment, only wanting to go further, will not go quietly into the night.
Vanessa
So you’re saying the even though they have done what they have done, they should give you the respect and the limelight you believe you deserve?
Devon
Yes as I said, I respect the hell out them and what they have done, but Vanessa I’ll tell you one thing about, about me. If I have to, I will beat the respect out of each and every single one of them I am not going to go down without a fight.
::Scene::Nodding her head she changes the subject to his match.::Scene::
Vanessa
Devon, we’re switching gears here now. At the PPV, the first one of the New Year, Season’s Beatings, you’re in a five person over the top battle royal, with four other participants that are rookies as well, Brittany Knox, Aphrodite, Michael Octane, and Own Mcconnaigh, to be crowned the best rookie. Kind of like a rookie of the year award so to speak.
::Scene::Smirking Devon leans back with a chuckle running fingers through his goatee.::Scene::
Devon
Sort like a rookie of the year award huh? Well who wouldn’t want to be consider the best of the best when it comes to rookie in their first year of a company? That just means winning this battle royal will be just that much sweeter.
Vanessa
So you’re claiming victory over your fellow rookies?
Devon
What do you think? Yeah I am. Since my time here, I haven’t heard a dollar with of shit from any my opponents. I have seen their names on the roster and the cards, but I have seen no show after no show now from the four of them. Brittany Knox, and Aphrodite, I will give them credit, they are stepping foot into a mostly male dominated world, and I believe if a woman is just a tough as a man, allow them to do what they want, but I don’t see those as those type of girls. Trust me I know those type; I grew up around them in my neighborhood. Girls this isn’t for those who complain about a broken nail or their make up and hair getting out of place. And then Owen McConnaigh and Michel Octane, I don’t even know what to day about them, except they are just two more to throw over the top rope. Do I think they have cold feet, their nerves hitting, that rumbling of butterflies in their stomach, knowing they have hit the big time, and they can’t handle the pressure? Hell yeah, they are so out of sync, they ran home to their mommies scared shitless.
::Scene::Smirking he chuckles.::Scene::
Vanessa
Is there any pressure going into this match, on wanting to get that win, to be alongside your brother since he got the first win between you two?
Devon
Pressure? *chuckles* Nah….you see I am proud of my little brother, getting the win that he did, and sure we are always going to have that brotherly competition, to see who can outdo the other, but we will always have each others back in the end. But he does know, that I am planning on winning, and tying up that win.
::Scene::Looking over at Lukas who just shakes his head and rolls his eyes, Devon chuckles before turning his attention back to Vanessa.::Scene::
Vanessa
What makes you sure of a win?
:::Scene::Arching an eyebrow, Devon leans forward, staring in a dumbstruck sort of way.::Scene::
Devon
Are you blind, did you not witness what I just did? Are you deaf, did you not hear what my dad just said? I am going to be the target, cause if I am not the biggest person in the match, I am going to be one of the biggest. And history has shown us in situations like this size does matter.
::Scene::Nodding, Vanessa adjusts herself hitting him with one last question.::Scene::
Vanessa
Ok one last question Devon. Let’s say you win this match, you know they are going to be veterans in the wings waiting for their chance to strike at the best rookie the AWS has to offer. What about that?
Devon
I say let them come, and bring what they have to the table. Cause I ain’t backing down and I am not afraid, it’s my time. The claim is a war coming, yeah it is, and as General George S. Patton once said, War is Hell……Welcome veterans of the AWS welcome to hell. Any more questions?
Vanessa
No….
Devon
Good then we are done here.
::Scene::Getting up out of his chair, the scene fades out ending, with Devon disappearing into the locker room.::Scene::
