Unleashing the Beast

Backstage.

The Dangerous Mix’s David Fox is leaning on the wall, holding hands with his wife Saori, and smiling.

David Fox: So this is it, huh? The big PRIME debut.

Saori Kazama: Nervous?

David chuckles and smirks.

David Fox: Nah. You know the vibes. Get in the ring, and don’t take any of them lightly, but also don’t sweat it too much. Freeman and Schwartz, they’re a pair of hungry young kids who need to grow into their talents, but that doesn’t mean they can’t slip one past us. I’m sure they’ll give their best, though.

His wife nods.

Saori Kazama: And the other team?

David Fox: You mean 2BECOME1? Oh, brother. I got half a mind to tell you to apply for a new manager’s license real quick just so you can crack a shinai across Vickie Hall’s back so we can go out and have a wrestling match without hearing nails on a chalkboard the whole time. Good gravy. ESPECIALLY since I wanna give Jonathan-Christopher a piece of my mind. Darin Zion, he’s trying to put it together, but who knows if he will with that couple. After that letter Hall wrote, though? He’s probably gonna end up as collateral.

Saori Kazama: Yeah, I saw it too, and I’m surprised! You seem to be taking it well.

David Fox: Sure am. But you know who isn’t?

A beat, and a silent pause… gradually interrupted by a rumbling growl, and the stamping feet of a certain beast.

Mushigihara: grrrrrrrrrrrAAAAAAARGH!

Mushigihara walks on-camera, and walks off just as quickly, seething in fury.

Mushigihara: Keshirashite kure yo!!!

Saori looks on in surprise, while David grins at his smoldering tag team partner.

David Fox: …what did he say again?

Saori looks at her husband with a look of concern.

Saori Kazama: He said he’s going to lay them to waste.

With a nod, David Fox smiles and chuckles again as the camera closes in on his face.

David Fox: Awesome.

Cut.
