The scene opens to something you may have seen before: a view of a large, skybox corporate office, straight out of the corporate mastermind villain’s base from a movie. This is no movie though, this is the reality, the environment to which the star of today’s scene, E.A. Blizzard is accustomed. The room is beautifully adorned with rare art pieces, a huge oak desk behind which sits the aforementioned man; the large city skyline through the huge windows behind him is not even enough to detract from the aura of the huge, imposing man sitting front and center. A woman, apparently a secretary, scurries out of shot with a sharp hand wave from the man, no words needed, a command of all around him. A command of you watching, as his steely eyes meet the camera, and he begins to talk; dominance and power integrated to every syllable of his speech.
EAB: Kept you waiting’ didn’t I? Let’s not beat around the bush here folks, things at the good ol’ Level Up have been less than stable lately, there’s been some turmoil, some tough tumbles here and there to put it politely things have not always been spot on or gone according to the plan. Luckily for everyone they have people such as myself ready to step up and take charge to steer this cruise ship away from the iceberg and avoiding this whole grand voyage turning into another Titanic. Even with a man like Trent Steel at the helm it does not mean that all hope is lost.
The behemoth of a man sits back in that lavish chair behind his desk and has a somewhat calming expression on his face, which to anyone even remotely familiar with E.A Blizzard would seem at the very least off putting.
EAB: Teamwork, makes the dream work they say. However my vision for this great company is not some silly pipedream, it’s not wish upon a star and sit on your laurels to wait all Jiminy cricket to waltz on in and fix everything for you like some sort of a fairy godmother. Oh no, Jimbo you try coming anywhere around this vision and you’ll be lucky if the only thing you lose is that tophat of yours..
He smirks at the camera.
EAB: Figuratively speaking of course, I would never even attempt to threaten anyone, even a made up character. That’s not who I am or what I’m about. For all of you doubting this just look at who I am teaming up with come EXP 31 ISAAC and Drake Wilcox, those men are absolute brutes, beasts and monsters the pair of them, do you think I would have to as much as utter a threat to someone and they would not do a better job of imposing themselves on the world? Of course with this narrative you have to put on the warped view of the world where the Game Changers and everyone involved within the group are some collective of crooks, ruffians and thugs.. Which is outright ludicrous as anyone who is in control of their mental and physical faculties can tell you. These men are like sons that I never had to me, like the younger brothers that grew up too big to fit to the box they were tried to be put in. I am not a handler to them, I am not some organ grinder watching them break everyone in their path to the tune that I choose to play. These men are great physical specimen without a doubt but they possess the brains to go along with all that brawn and they are able to make decisions and function on their own. So to say that three of us are a working team would be an understatement they have been with the Game Changers from the ground floor Lawrence Tact knows just as well as I do that these two individuals in question can be the focus of the tag team division, they could be the whole damn division if they so choose but since they aren’t greedy or bullies they are willing to compete against anyone and everyone to prove their worth like the upstanding, honest and sincere men that they are.
Watching Blizzard’s face makes it evident that there is not even a touch of a joke in the statement he just made.
EAB: So imagine my surprise when myself and these two fine gentlemen get put up against Peter, Paul and Mary–
His face twists up.
EAB: That can’t be right!
Blizz’ snatches his trusty glasses from his coat pocket and checks a printout.
EAB: I KNEW IT it’s not Mary, it’s Michelle! Cripes on Friday can’t anyone proofread these days?!
He glares at the camera.
EAB: Chuck, if you see this before I get to you. Clear out your stuff and be out of the company premises by the end of the day or there will be repercussions.
we hear a voice off camera
Voice: Mr. Blizzard sir, Chuck didn’t proofread the match listing, Phil did, you see Chuck was on sick leave and he couldn’t do it so Phil..
Blizzard’s voice is cold as ice.
EAB: I do not care. Fire both of them..or would you like to be joining them in the unemployment line.
Voice: No sir, I would not.
EAB: Smart man, with the economy being the way it is you have to do what’s best for you and yours, you are a good man Chuck.
Voice: Actually sir, I mean Mr. Blizzard my name isn’t Chuck or even Charles I’m–
Blizzard slams his palms to the desk.
EAB: I do not care, get out of my office, RIGHT NOW!
We hear rushing footsteps and a slam of the door, silence settles to the room and Blizzard gets back to a rather calm and expressionless mood.
EAB: Now, that being dealt with our match at EXP 31 against Peter, Paul and Michelle the Royals as I’ve heard some mention them by will be a great testament to what real teamwork can accomplish. You see, we that make up the true core of the Game Changers don’t need fancy titles or pretend to be treated as royalty or better than others. We are just individuals who each and every single one of you watching should aspire to be. Now sure, we are successful already which you, well you aren’t but folks the Game Changers are living, breathing proof that you can achieve so much in your life if you set your mind, body and heart to it. Sure sacrifices need to be made from time to time and there’s bound to be some mistakes and stumbles on the way however those won’t stop us from going forth towards the grand vision that is making Level Up bigger and better than it ever has been before and if you ask me or Lawrence Tact he’ll happily tell you that there is no pair of peers that we would rather have on our side, our team than Drake and ISAAC. So I am not worried going into this match against Vaughn, Montuori and Riggs, none at all. Because what you three may assume that you have pales in comparison to what the three of us possess. Sure Mr. Wilcox and Mr ISAAC might seem a bit rough around the edges at times, they might not be the type of people you would bring along to your garden party or a friendly game of golf at the country club but in a match? In a fight? In or out of the ring. I’d happily take my chance with them against anyone, and I do mean anyone so with no slight towards our esteemed opponents come next Tuesday I am not expecting you to just walk through us, I’m not expecting you to end us or even beat us. No, why? Not because I’m overconfident or arrogant or just too darn determined to make sure the match will go our way by hook or by crook. Nope, I know the match will be a night to remember and I know that anyone who comes at the Game Changers looking for trouble will end up finding some, but just remember this folks. We don’t instigate, we don’t start these things. We defend ourselves and we finish things. That is why we are the Game Changers because we as a whole have changed the way team dynamics work. There are no egos, no pecking order, no other petty nonsense like jealousy. We are equal, united in the one common goal to make this place better and anyone who opposes us and goes against it? Well as I said already, some sacrifices do have to be made at times to achieve success. Don’t let any of this discourage you three from doing your absolute best though, because if you don’t? Oh it will be something you will royally regret See you out there.
We see Blizzard showcase that familiar eerie pearly white grin of his but as usually would there is no fade to black.
EAB: Oh goddamn it, Chuck! Get in here and turn this damn thing off!
We hear the door open and a frightened voice.
Voice: Yes sir, Mr. Blizzard, right away sir.
Blizzard glances at the camera.
EAB: Huh, I guess teamwork does make the dream work, doesn’t it Chuck?
We fade to black on him letting out a sinister chuckle.
