The scene opens with a still frame of Xander Youngston covering Fire at Deadend. The camera pans out to reveal Xander Youngston sitting in a light brown leather seat aboard his private jet with a remote in his hand. Youngston presses play, and stares at the video as the ref counts the 1, 2, 3, but right before his hand hits for the 3, the bell begins to ring. Youngston rewinds the tape and watches the count once again, then another time, and another before he shuts the TV off, and tosses the remote onto the ground. The noise wakes up Xanders personal assistant Sarah who is sleeping in the chair across from him. She wakes up and looks over to see Xander with an expression of anger, as he cracks his knuckles.
Sarah
Xander, what's wrong? Why don't you try to get some sleep?
Xander Youngston
It's that damn match, hell it's the whole night. First off they slap some time limit on my match and don't even inform anyone of it. I had that piece of trash fire beat, the ref counted the one, two, three, and then they say it's a draw.
Sarah
It's fine everyone saw what you did, and they know that you had him beat. You'll get him next time, don't obsess over it.
Xander Youngston
I had him this time, I beat him, but it's going to go on my record as a draw. Then that damn battle royal was a farce to begin with. How the hell are you going to decide a heavyweight champion in one of the most unpredictable matches where certain people have the advantage of coming in later than others. They'll probably try to stack the deck against me, and make me start off that gauntlet match. I'm telling you this Nightmare asshole has it out for me. He's scared that my star will eclipse his, and people would forget about him. I mean it's a little coincidental that he forfeited the title the very same week it was announced I'd be coming to the AWF.
Sarah
I really doubt that he has some kind of grudge or vendetta against you Xander. The title thing was a coincidence, and the time limit thing just happened, and I'm sure you won't have to start out the gauntlet match, and if you do then it's just bad luck.
Xander Youngston
Bad luck or bad management? I mean doesn't he realize what I'm doing, don't the fans realize what I'm doing? I'm trying to save them from mediocre wrestlers, and boring matches. It's why I made targets of Maeda, Johnny K, and Fire and Niji when I came in. It's the same damn reason I took out Maeda and X-Klaus at Deadend, I kept the fans from having to witness a horrible match between two losers.
Sarah
You didn't really do that did you? I mean I know what the little note said, and everyone thought it was you, but I figured it was just a crazy coincidence.
Xander Youngston
No I did that, and I'm proud of it. Those two are an embarrassment to the wrestling business, and the AWF.
Sarah
Xander, look I get that you don't like these people or whatever, but you don't need to go around attacking people and making enemies.
Xander Youngston
I don't care about enemies or friends Sarah, I'm better than everyone on this damn roster, and I can attack whoever I want. I'm going to prove that the draw was a fluke, the battle royal was crap, and that no matter what they want to do in that gauntlet match, I'll be the one coming out on top.
Sarah
I'm just saying that you have other things to worry about than just AWF. I know that you want the title, and I know that you'll win it when you get a real chance, but remember you do have other business. You still have to focus on your responsibilities within Youngston enterprises.
Xander Youngston
I know all about what I have to do with the damn family business, but that' simple.
Sarah
Well focus because when we land, a cars going to be waiting for you. I'll head to the office, and gather some information on your opponents in the gauntlet match. You have to go the Malibu Compound, and see how things are progressing with project 46.
Xander Youngston
They're still not done with that?
Sarah
No, that's why your father wants you to go out there and see why it's still behind schedule, and what it's going to take to not only get it back on schedule, but completed.
Xander Youngston
Fine, I'm going to go ahead and get some sleep.
Xander just leans back in his seat closing his eyes, as the scene fades to black.
*** 8 Hours Later ***
The scene opens as a white 08 Rolls Royce Phantom pulls up outside of a large factory. The car comes to a stop, and quickly a driver exits from the front. The driver goes around the car, and opens the back door for Xander Youngston to step out.
Driver
Here we are sir, the Malibu compound.
Xander Youngston
I hate coming to this place, just wait for me hopefully I won't be long.
Xander Youngston simply walks ahead, and opens the door heading into the large building. He is immediately greeted by a guy in a white coat who's name badge reads Dr. Kinslow.
Dr. Kinslow
Ah Mr. Youngston, it's great to see you again.
Xander Youngston
Cut the crap Kinslow, I'm hear about project 46
Dr. Kinslow gets a surprised and somewhat anxious look on his face as Xander says this.
Dr. Kinslow
Oh well, we're hard at work, there have just been unexpected complications.
Xander Youngston
Unexpected complications? You're 3 months behind schedule asshole.
Xander is clearly angered at this point, as he gets in the doctors face.
Xander Youngston
Take me to where they're working right now.
Dr. Kinslow
Yes sir.
Dr. Kinslow then leads Xander down the factory, and then to a small hallway down the left. At the end of the hallway they reach a solid metal door, that only has PROJECT 46 printed on it in black letters. The doctor swipes a key card, and then has to give both a hand print and retinal scan before he can open the door. The door opens to several scientists busy at work all gathered around a table.
Scientist 1
I'm telling you it needs more power, there's no way it'll work on that amount.
Scientist 2
It's not the power, it's the weight, it's too heavy.
Scientist 3
We need a lighter metal.
Scientist 4
A lighter metal will burn up.
Scientist 5
What if we used an alloy to drop the weight some, upped the power, and gave it some kind of flame resistant lining?
Scientist 6
That could work, but what about the pulse blasts, I think it would overpower everything, and possibly explode in mid air.
Dr. Kinslow
Ladies, gentleman, stop for right now. We have Mr. Youngston here.
Xander Youngston
No don't stop, keep doing your damn job, and explain to me why everything is so far behind schedule.
Dr. Kinslow
Well as you just heard, we're having problems with many of the technical aspects.
Xander Youngston
It's called testing, how many of those brilliant ideas have you actually tried out?
Scientist 4
Well 2 of them.
Xanders eyes go wide, and he looks ready to explode.
Xander Youngston
TWO, TWO IDEAS? HOW MANY FUCKING IDEAS HAVE YOU HAD?
Scientist 2
Uhm, probably about 30 or so.
Xander Youngston
AND YOU'VE TRIED TWO... Get your shit together, start doing more tests, and try out anything and everything. You idiots have one month to get the prototype completed and ready.
Dr. Kinslow
Sir, there's now way it can be ready in a month
Xander Youngston
You find a damn way, or every one of you will be out on your asses.
Youngston just turns, and walks straight out slamming the door behind him. Dr. Kinslow tries to go after him, but he doesn't listen, and just goes straight out to his car, as the driver opens the door or him.
Xander Youngston
Office now, quick as possible.
Xander just gets into the car, and the driver quickly does the same as he heads off. Xander is clearly angry and upset at the lack of progress on the companies latest project, as he opens a small compartment next to him, and pulls out a bottle of Chopin vodka, and pours himself a large shot. He puts the bottle and glass back before grabbing himself a bottle of Defense Vitamin Water, before he gets out his phone. Xander scrolls through his contacts list before stopping on Sarah's name and calling her.
Xander Youngston
Sarah, I just left the Malibu compound, I'll be at the office in about 20 minutes. Call the AWF camera crew, and have them come there. I need to do something to get my mind off of this Project 46 bullshit.
Sarah
What's wrong with it, I mean besides being behind schedule?
Xander Youngston
The team working on it are a bunch of idiots. Almost a years worth of research, and they’ve only tested two of the ideas they've had. Two out of thirty, they're completely incompetent. The government is breathing down our damn necks, and because of some stupid scientist who are supposed geniuses we have nothing. I just want to forget about that for 10 minutes, do some research for my match, and issue a statement about my opponents.
Sarah
Everything will be ready when you get here, Also they released the order for the Gauntlet match.
Xander Youngston
Let me guess Nightmare pulled a bitch move and put me in at one or two, that son of a bitch is driving me crazy.
Sarah
Actually you're in at number 6, Santino and Reyes are one and two, Roebuck is number three, X-Klaus is number four, Kraven in number five, you're number six, Kevin Blade is number seven, and Duncan Aries is number eight.
Xander Youngston
Well at least Nightmare was almost fair, and knew not to screw over his top talent. Still no surprise that his little bitch Aries got the number eight spot.
Sarah
Yes he had quite a bit to say, I have the footage from him, Kraven, X-Klaus, Santino, and Roebuck.
Xander Youngston
Perfect, now what would I do without you.
Sarah
Probably forget your social security number.
Xander Youngston
Hey I know that, it's eight.
Sarah
You're missing seven numbers Xander.
Xander Youngston
Well that's what I have you for. Anyways, tell the camera crew to be there in an hour. I'm ten minutes from the office, that should give me time to watch the footage from those idiots, and go over a few things.
Sarah
Of course.
Xander Youngston
Thanks, I'll see you in a few minutes.
Sarah
Bye Xander.
Sarah hangs up as Xander does the same, and the scene fades to black.
*** 1 Hour Later ***
The scene opens with Xander Youngston sitting behind a solid glass desk in a large black leather chair, as he goes over a few papers. He looks over tem for a few seconds, before a camera crew comes through the door of his office.
Xander Youngston
Good, right on time.
Cameraman
You said an hour, so we're here. Just give us a little bit to set up, and we’ll be ready to go.
Xander Youngston
All right.
Xander goes back to his work, as the crew set everything up. About five minutes later the main cameraman motions to him.
Cameraman
Ready to start whenever you are.
Xander Youngston
Let's get this going.
Cameraman
All right, 5, 4, 3
The cameraman counts off 2, 1, and then the view shifts as if looking through the camera.
Xander Youngston
Santino Esposito, Draeden Reyes, Chris Roebuck, X Klaus, Kraven, Kevin Blade, Duncan Aries. These are the seven other men involved in the gauntlet match at the next upcoming Vengeance. These are the men trying to become the team captain of team AWF at the Summer Games pay per view. These are the seven men that I'm going to have to defeat. These are the seven men I'm going to have to break. These are the seven men I'm going to have to humiliate. Of course when you look at the order of entry in this match, I'm only guaranteed to be facing Kevin Blade and Duncan Aries, the two men who will enter after me, those are the only men that I am guaranteed to beat, before that anything could happen, I could have to come in and wipe the mat up with any of those five other men.
It could be Santino Esposito, the guy coming in at number one, he could potentially go all the way in this thing, until I come in. I do have to say that the guy has guts, the guy has been in some wars over his short career, and now he's even fighting with a gun shot wound. I know that can't be haled up yet, because he keeps re injuring it every single week, he just keeps making it worse, and that's going to be his downfall. Santino an old friend once told me something that I've always remembered going into a fight. He told me attack a man's strengths, nobody ever expects you to go after the strongest part of the castle. Your strength is you will, your desire to win, and it would be so easy to turn that against you. If it is you that I'm facing when I come in, all I have to do is wait for you to make that one fatal mistake, to take that big chance, to show the kind of determination and will you have, and then simply capitalize. Santino you're a talented guy no doubt, and nobody can ever say that you're not willing to do whatever it takes to win. However you're just not that smart, you're not intelligent enough to realize that sometimes there's a better option, there's a shortcut, something that you can exploit. I on the other hand always look for that shortcut, that simple thing I can do to make getting a win just that much easier.
Of course maybe it won't be Santino at all, maybe it's going to be his good buddy Draeden Reyes, maybe he'll take you right out of the match before you can even do something stupid Santino. Hell I almost hope it is you Reyes, because then not only would I go one step further in becoming the team captain, but I could also continue my mission of taking out the trash here in the AWF. See Reyes you're exactly the kind of person that doesn't belong in this company, you're a thug, a want to be gangster, a pathetic little street bitch who got lucky that he had some friends in this company. What have you even done Reyes, won a tag match, beat some overgrown monkey, and hit some people from behind. You don't even deserve to be in that ring at Vengeance, and if somehow you make it until I come in, I'll prove that to you very quickly.
Now speaking of trash we have X Klaus, now Roebuck don't worry I didn't forget about you, I just figured it was a nice segway. X Klaus, you're an even better example of the trash I’m trying to rid the AWF of then even Reyes. You and your step brother are not only a plague on this company, and wrestling, but you're a plague on this entire world. You idiots do nothing, and have nothing. You give nothing back to society, and you sit around in what is probably a crack house drinking, and rambling on about sexiness or some kind of moronic crap like that. X Klaus you are simply the lowest common denominator, the bottom rung of society, you are what shit calls shit, you are what people scrape off the bottom of their shoes, you are pathetic, you are worthless, and you are absolutely and completely devoid of any purpose. I can only pray that someone ends the misery that is your life before Vengeance so that I don't even have to risk seeing someone like you.
Now however we move to almost the other end of the spectrum, we move to one Chris Roebuck, a man who while still being a loser, and in no way close to the level of myself, actually has the slightest bit of class. Chris you're not on my level, by your own admission, you're not ready for the Justice or even the intercontinental or great lakes championship, whatever they're calling it. Now I have to wonder how a man who says that he himself is not ready to go after the biggest prize in this company, thinks that he's worthy of the biggest honor in this company. Chris you do realize that there's a whole lot more than pride on the line at Summer Games. You realize that the man who wins it all not only gets bragging rights, but he also gets a shot at the WWA World Champion. You sit there and say you want to focus on singles gold, maybe the Vengeance or Brawler championship, and that's just fine for you. I however am focused on becoming the top man not only in this company, but in the entire WWA. How do you expect to be a successful captain, when you don't even think you're worthy of fighting for the top title in this company?
Now one man who does think he's worthy, one man who thinks he was pretty much robbed of the Justice title at Deadend is Kraven, the man who enters the match right before me, the man with everything to prove, and almost nothing to lose. One way or another this guy will be on the AWF team at Summer Games, and while I don't like the guy one single bit, I will say that he's the only man in this match that I would accept losing to, he's the only other man in this match who I view as being worthy of the captains spot. However that doesn't mean I'm not going to do everything I can to beat you if you're the man who's in there when I enter the ring Kraven. I may respect you, but you would still be standing in the way of me and my ultimate goal. See I know that everyone in this company hates me, and no matter how much I do, unless I win this gauntlet match, I would get shut out of the team over pure jealousy. So Kraven, if you are that man when it's my time, be prepared for the fight of your life, be prepared to end up as the hunted, and the slaughtered.
Now the two men who enter the ring after me, that's where the fun really starts. First we got Kevin Blade, the guy who for the last several weeks has been beaten, bloodied, and broken. Feeling a little naked there without that Vengeance title to keep you warm, Kevin? You know maybe about a month ago I could have seen you being in this match which is supposed to be for the best of the best, but not anymore. Kevin you simply don’t have it anymore, it's like you won that title, and just lost all focus, all drive, all motivation. You've seemingly been a shell of the wrestler you once were, and come Vengeance I have a feeling it will be quite easy to take you out of this match, and keep getting closer to being the captain. I'll simply take you down and out, and be left with one man to beat.
Now that one man who I'll have left to beat has been the cause for a lot of talk, and a little bit of controversy. Now Aries, I'm not going to sit there like Kraven or Esposito and say that you did nothing, because I know that you did make an elimination or two. Did you catch a lucky break by being the last man to enter the battle royal, well yea, but can't exactly fault you for having good luck. Are you catching another lucky break with this gauntlet match by being the last man to enter? Yea, and I would like to say that it's just good luck once again, but we both know that isn't the case. Still I don't want to get into that right now Duncan. I will say that you seem to understand the way things work, I actually see a lot of similarities between myself and you. See you know just like I do that greatness comes to those who take it. You also say whatever you want to say, and are okay with being the bad guy so long as you get the win. Now that is all well and good, my problem, with you comes from one simple fact. There can only be one villain in the story, and I was here before you.
For everyone in the battle royal, it doesn't matter if you're a champion, an ex champion, a perennial runner up, a piece of trash, or too dumb to know when to quit, come Vengeance you will all fall at the feet of your new team captain, and you will all Meet the Metro King.
As he finishes, the scene fades with Xander giving a cocky grin as he leans back in his chair.
Sarah

*** 8 Hours Later ***
The scene opens as a white 08 Rolls Royce Phantom pulls up outside of a large factory. The car comes to a stop, and quickly a driver exits from the front. The driver goes around the car, and opens the back door for Xander Youngston to step out.
Driver

Xander Youngston

Xander Youngston simply walks ahead, and opens the door heading into the large building. He is immediately greeted by a guy in a white coat who's name badge reads Dr. Kinslow.

I on the other hand always look for that shortcut, that simple thing I can do to make getting a win just that much easier.
Of course maybe it won't be Santino at all, maybe it's going to be his good buddy Draeden Reyes, maybe he'll take you right out of the match before you can even do something stupid Santino. Hell I almost hope it is you Reyes, because then not only would I go one step further in becoming the team captain, but I could also continue my mission of taking out the trash here in the AWF. See Reyes you're exactly the kind of person that doesn't belong in this company, you're a thug, a want to be gangster, a pathetic little street bitch who got lucky that he had some friends in this company. What have you even done Reyes, won a tag match, beat some overgrown monkey, and hit some people from behind. You don't even deserve to be in that ring at Vengeance, and if somehow you make it until I come in, I'll prove that to you very quickly.
Now speaking of trash we have X Klaus, now Roebuck don't worry I didn't forget about you, I just figured it was a nice segway. X Klaus, you're an even better example of the trash I’m trying to rid the AWF of then even Reyes. You and your step brother are not only a plague on this company, and wrestling, but you're a plague on this entire world. You idiots do nothing, and have nothing. You give nothing back to society, and you sit around in what is probably a crack house drinking, and rambling on about sexiness or some kind of moronic crap like that. X Klaus you are simply the lowest common denominator, the bottom rung of society, you are what shit calls shit, you are what people scrape off the bottom of their shoes, you are pathetic, you are worthless, and you are absolutely and completely devoid of any purpose. I can only pray that someone ends the misery that is your life before Vengeance so that I don't even have to risk seeing someone like you.
Now however we move to almost the other end of the spectrum, we move to one Chris Roebuck, a man who while still being a loser, and in no way close to the level of myself, actually has the slightest bit of class. Chris you're not on my level, by your own admission, you're not ready for the Justice or even the intercontinental or great lakes championship, whatever they're calling it. Now I have to wonder how a man who says that he himself is not ready to go after the biggest prize in this company, thinks that he's worthy of the biggest honor in this company. Chris you do realize that there's a whole lot more than pride on the line at Summer Games. You realize that the man who wins it all not only gets bragging rights, but he also gets a shot at the WWA World Champion. You sit there and say you want to focus on singles gold, maybe the Vengeance or Brawler championship, and that's just fine for you. I however am focused on becoming the top man not only in this company, but in the entire WWA. How do you expect to be a successful captain, when you don't even think you're worthy of fighting for the top title in this company?
Now one man who does think he's worthy, one man who thinks he was pretty much robbed of the Justice title at Deadend is Kraven, the man who enters the match right before me, the man with everything to prove, and almost nothing to lose. One way or another this guy will be on the AWF team at Summer Games, and while I don't like the guy one single bit, I will say that he's the only man in this match that I would accept losing to, he's the only other man in this match who I view as being worthy of the captains spot. However that doesn't mean I'm not going to do everything I can to beat you if you're the man who's in there when I enter the ring Kraven. I may respect you, but you would still be standing in the way of me and my ultimate goal. See I know that everyone in this company hates me, and no matter how much I do, unless I win this gauntlet match, I would get shut out of the team over pure jealousy. So Kraven, if you are that man when it's my time, be prepared for the fight of your life, be prepared to end up as the hunted, and the slaughtered.
Now the two men who enter the ring after me, that's where the fun really starts. First we got Kevin Blade, the guy who for the last several weeks has been beaten, bloodied, and broken. Feeling a little naked there without that Vengeance title to keep you warm, Kevin? You know maybe about a month ago I could have seen you being in this match which is supposed to be for the best of the best, but not anymore. Kevin you simply don’t have it anymore, it's like you won that title, and just lost all focus, all drive, all motivation. You've seemingly been a shell of the wrestler you once were, and come Vengeance I have a feeling it will be quite easy to take you out of this match, and keep getting closer to being the captain. I'll simply take you down and out, and be left with one man to beat.
Now that one man who I'll have left to beat has been the cause for a lot of talk, and a little bit of controversy. Now Aries, I'm not going to sit there like Kraven or Esposito and say that you did nothing, because I know that you did make an elimination or two. Did you catch a lucky break by being the last man to enter the battle royal, well yea, but can't exactly fault you for having good luck. Are you catching another lucky break with this gauntlet match by being the last man to enter? Yea, and I would like to say that it's just good luck once again, but we both know that isn't the case. Still I don't want to get into that right now Duncan. I will say that you seem to understand the way things work, I actually see a lot of similarities between myself and you. See you know just like I do that greatness comes to those who take it. You also say whatever you want to say, and are okay with being the bad guy so long as you get the win. Now that is all well and good, my problem, with you comes from one simple fact. There can only be one villain in the story, and I was here before you.
For everyone in the battle royal, it doesn't matter if you're a champion, an ex champion, a perennial runner up, a piece of trash, or too dumb to know when to quit, come Vengeance you will all fall at the feet of your new team captain, and you will all Meet the Metro King.
As he finishes, the scene fades with Xander giving a cocky grin as he leans back in his chair.
