Starting my path.

[Angel]

In the OCW bar room angel sits on a stool with a couple of empty shot glasses before him and a rum and coke in hand. Angel waves over to the bartender for another shot. As the bartender comes have with the shot in hand he looks at angel. Though just losing the Tv title to nate strong angel doesn't seem down at all.

BT- Hey weren't you supposed to be here the other day with that Nate Strong fellow for some kind of a friendly contest right here in the bar?

Angel looks up at the bartender for a moment then does the shot sitting before him.

A- Yea but plans changed. We ended up having our "friendly" competition in the ring.

BT- Oh really how'd that go?

A- Umm I lost.

BT- Oh sorry to hear that, you'll win next time for sure.

A- Riiiiight... Well anyway I think I drank enough for one evening, i'm gonna head out.

Angel throws some money on the table and heads out of the bar room. Stumbling a little bit as he heads towards his lockeroom he spots Hugh Jass out of the corner of his eye with a camera crew wondering around.

A- Oh great...

Hugh Jass spots angel and moves the camera crew towards him. Quickly Hugh gets right down to questioning angel.

H- Angel your thoughts on losing the Tv title to Nate Strong?

Angel just looks at the Hugh, then the camera, then back at Hugh and flips him off as he starts to stumble down the hall again. Hugh just shurgs his shoulder as Angel walks past. But quickly angel turns around and grabs the mic.

A- You... ahh want my thoughts.. eh? Wellz I lost my title but whooooo cares. See me, I now can move on wit my career. That title just hold me back. Time now like Oni said to make better for self.

Angel holds up his fists and leans on the wall a bit to support his weight.

A- All I needs is lefty here and umm..... lefty number 2! Now and I can win.

Angel turns and walks down the hall way and stumbles into his lockeroom which was just within veiw. One of the camera guys look at Hugh

C- Umm did you understand what he said?

H- Not a word...

[College]

As Hugh Jass looks to leave he notices someone sitting and meditating in the hallway. It is Oni! Hugh Jass walks over to Oni to ask some questions.

Hugh Jass: Oni?, Oni? Can I get a word with you?

Oni comes out of a trance and looks up at Hugh.

Oni: What do you seek Hugh?

Hugh: Uh...well. How does it feel knowing that Nate Strong succeeded where you failed?

Oni: Hugh...Though Nate Strong won the title and I did not does not mean he overpassed me? Angel did not fight the same way he fought me in our match a week ago against Nate Strong. I brought out a side of Angel in that match that tested him and myself. Nate simply overpowered Angel, which as his teammate I am proud of but as a warrior I do not compare to my skills. My war with Angel is not over, the winds of change have only begun.

Hugh: What do you mean?...I can't follow you!

Oni: One of your mindset cannot understand what you do not have any experience in. One match does not end a war. One confronatation does not bring resolve. This war will not end until Angel and myself have shown each other the very best we can offer and that will come very very soon. Angel is the mountain I must overcome and I will overcome it, no matter how many times I fall, I shall continue to climb to the peak and when I have reached it, I will make my stand and continue my path of the warrior.

Hugh: Oni?...What is the path of the warrior?

Oni rises up and looks long and hard at Hugh.

Oni: For you to ask me that question, proves you are not ready to hear my answer...I want you to deliver a message for me. Tell Angel, once he has let the demons of alcohol leave him, I want him in a match at Overdrive. Our war isn't over, I want Angel to put his number one contendership on the line as well, if I beat him I want his shot at the TV Title, My path is clear Hugh, my destinantion is certain, I am a warrior and my time of greatness is finally at hand.

Oni walks away leaving Hugh wondering whether he should deliver the message, not thinking twice about it he runs off to find Angel.

[Angel]

After a couple hours of searching, Hugh can't seem to find angel. Just as he is ready to give up and head home for the night just out of the corner of his eye he sees angel walking towards the parkinglot. Quickly he runs to angel, though for Hugh Jass quickly is still rather slow. Angel no longer staggering but obviously still buzzing a little bit looks over toward Hugh and sighs.

H- Angel, Angel, Hold up, I have a message for you.

Angel rolls his eyes and leans against the wall looking towards the ground and not at Hugh.

A- What do you want fat man, my time is not something to be taken lightly. I have important matters to take care of.

Out of breath Hugh Jass stands before angel panting trying his best to catch his breath.

H- Oni...*pant**pant* You....*pant**pant* Match...*pant**pant *Overdrive.*pant**pant*

Angel looking confused looks at Hugh for once as Hugh finally catches his breath.

A- What the hell are you talking about?

H- Oni said he wants you in a match on Overdrive. He said you were a mountain and he had to climb you. He said there is the path of the warrior on the mountain somewhere that he had to follow and wants you to put your number contenders spot for the tv title on the line on the next Overdrive.

Angel scratches his head a little trying to figure out exactly what the hell Hugh is talking about.

A- Riiiiight.... and he sent you to tell me this, and expected me to understand the jibberish that you just said. Well i'm sure he didn't say what you just said i'm sure if I heard him say it that it would have been more like, he must follow the path of the warrior and I stand on top of that mountain he must climb to be the best. Well you can tell Oni that I don't back down from any challenge. Then again i'm pretty sure he knows that already. I accept and I will place my shot on the line. Now go be off.

Angel makes his way through the door out to the parkinglot as Hugh stands there still tired from running, and now having to refind Oni.

[College]

Overdrive has finished and yet Hugh Jass has been unable to locate Oni. As Hugh Jass begins to figure he might as well quit and move on, he notices Oni walking down the hallway.

Hugh Jass: Oh shit...Oni?...Oni? Can you wait up?

Oni looks up and notices Hugh Jass coming toward him, Hugh Jass is running so fast he loses his step but Oni steps to the side and avoids the collision. Oni helps Hugh Jass get up.

Hugh Jass: Thanks....Uh....Oni, I have a message for you.

Oni: What news do you bring me?

Hugh: News?......Oh!....Angel has accepted your challenge!

Oni has a pleased look on his face.

Oni: Well, that is good news Hugh....however,.....I will have to put a hold on that match at least until my next match.

Hugh has a confused look on his face as he tries to stop his heart from going so fast from all this running.

Oni: Hugh....I was just in company with D. Carter who informed me that he is impressed with my actions as of late and has given me a shot for the TV Title....I will have to wait until I have won the title before I can finish my fight with Angel.

Hugh: Do you really think you can beat Nate Strong?....Are you guys not on the same side?

Oni: Hugh, Nate Strong and I are allies but that is not the case in this match. Nate knows that when you are champion, you must be ready for all competitors! This is not personal between Nate and I, this is what we came to OCW for. We came to be champions and at Adrenalin, I have a chance to take down a very strong adversary and possibly become champion. This match wil not change anything between Nate and myself. We will go to the ring, fight to our best ability and let the final decision come to pass.

Hugh Jass: Well...good luck in your match...Great to see you are not scared at all.

Oni: Warriors do not fear others Hugh...The stronger the opponent...the stronger the challenge. I live for the challenge, I live for the struggle. That is the path of a warrior....oh and would you please give Angel my apologies.

Oni walks off and leaves Hugh going "Aw shit!" as now he must tell Angel the news and feel the pain and cramps he already has suffered today.
