Rookies in the gym

[Amanda Nathan]

The camera faded in on Amanda working out in the gym. It was hours after her dicussion with Scally and she just needed to get some anger out. She was punching the heavy bag as hard as she could. As she threw her punches she thought and the more she thought the angrier she became. Not only did the guy she was falling for dump her like she was a garbage bag, but worse still was waking up in the middle of the night next to her main rival confused the hell out of her and her Pro was acting just like her father. Everything that could go wrong in the last week had. She closed her eyes and tried to breath. To just simply breath. As everything once again washed over her she let out a scream and started to fury punch the bag. Suddenly a sound from behind her made her jump and spin around. She saw who it was and couldn't help, but smile. She tried fronting and acting like she would have before the other night had happened.

Amanda: What the 'ell do you want?

The camera repositioned to reveal The Spry Starlit. Jade held up her hands up, trying to tell her fellow brit to calm down. Amanda placed her hands on her hips as The Gorgeous Gambit's voice began to cloak her.

Jade slowly walked over to her as the Cherry Bomb started to calm down. Coughing a little as Jade gripped the back of her head she smiled weakly at her fellow brit.

"You were really drunk last night at when you tried to leave the bar you fell. Everyone was laughing..I helped you up and well since I didn't know where you lived I took you to my place. I took care of you last night and got you safely to my bed, got you water, coffee and hot coco. You asked me to sleep in the bed with you, but I left without saying anything. But I came back later on and did fall asleep in the bed. Nothing bad happened last night.. I promise. But I'm just glad you are doing better than you were."

Jade gripped the back of her hair a little bit more before walking around to the back of the punching bag and grabbing it.

"Also.. with the way you are hitting the bag, if you actually try to punch someone like that you'll break your wrist way before you ever break their face."

A smirk appeared on the British Beauty's face as she held the bag and motioned for Amanda to hit it correctly this time. Jade stood her ground behind the bag and held it firmly in her grip while waiting for the first punch. Amanda swung at it and the bag jerked in Jade's arms and she smiled and so did Amanda. It continued for a couple moments and soon there were both laughing for no apparent reason.

Smiling Jade and Amanda nodded to each other as Jade instructed Amanda to try kicking now and not to be gentle just because Jade was behind the bag. She Amanda started kicking it when the doors swung open. Amanda looked over immediately and gasped and then quickly turning to Jade just as she poked her head out from around the bag.

"Jade.. go 'ide.. it's--- just go 'ide."

Jade looked confused but by the face Amanda was giving her she decided it was just best she hide. Jade ran over to the gym mats that were leaning up against the wall; however there was enough space for Jade to hide behind. Jade looked out and bit her lower lip as she saw Amanda back up a couple of steps before a body came into view.

"Shit.."

Jade said under her breath while glaring.

TBC- He knows who

[The Templar]

Pavor Nocturnus:
"W-well not a bad start to the day, no? A safe way t-to let out all of that frustration and aggression my little p-protege..."

[/center]
As per usual, wearing his signature old, grimy suit and the burlap mask that covers his face, Pavor Nocturnus makes an advance to his rookie. Adjusting the two tag titles that hang over his shoulders, the Dysphorian Dictator takes a step towards his rookie. Clenching her fists, Amanda takes a step back and lowers her head down to the floor. It was astonishing how much this man reminded her of her own father and how much it disgusted her. In predictable fashion, the Masked Messiah lets out his high pitched and tittering laugh, finding clear amusement in the antics of the young girl. To him this was nothing more than a game.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"A-hah-hah-hah! Oh dear... I'm not h-her for punishment, I'm here for congratulations... I mean, it must h-have been so honouring being in the c-corner of the new King of the Deathmatch, a big step indeed.

"A-and it just gets better f-for you seeing as h-how you get to be in my corner when I rearrange a c-certain young Delta's face... I hope y-your a good luck charm, for y-your sake..."

[/center]
Peering out from behind the ring mats, Jade couldn't believe her sights. Not for a second could she imagine her pro Scally, or any of the others being as blatantly disrespectful. He may have known what he was doing but he was all about-

It was at that moment the small scuffle of noise is heard around her despite Pavor and Amanda still standing in spot yet the sound was coming from all around her, like the roar of thunder across an empty prairie. It didn't take long to figure out as the two massive minions of the Templar, Beast and Kabul rip down the ring mats that cover the hiding Jade Brooklyn.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"Well, well, w-well... What do we have h-here...? Quite the Spy Starlit?!"

[/center]
TBCB Amanda or Jade

[Amanda Nathan]

Amanda had a scared look on her face as she watched Pavor's Templars tower over the person who has actually been helping her. She turned to her Pro and gave him the meanest look she could at the moment. Her body shook and she drove her nails into palms. She couldn't believe how rotten her luck had gotten.

Amanda: (Voice a little shakey.)Pavor... Leave 'er alone. She 'as nothing to do with this. She was just 'ere to explain a few things. Just let 'er go. We'll take care of the matter of Dustin later.

She couldn't believe she just said that. She stared at Nocturnus hoping and almost praying he'd listen to reason. She knew in the long haul things would get worse before they got better, but at least she could say she tried. Pavor just gave his laugh to the statement which made the brit bite her bottom lip. She took a deep breath and repeated herself trying to put more of her brass behind it. As the Templars stood ready to do whatever their master demanded at the snap of a finger.

Amanda: I said.. Leave... 'er.. Alone.

TBC: Pavor

[The Templar]

Pavor looked over at his Templar, towering and imposing over the understandably smaller girl in comparison then over to his rookie, Amanda Brooks. She was visibly upset, she wasn't very good at hiding her emotions at all. The girl cared about this young Starlit and the Masked Messiah couldn't understand why. As a matter of fact he didn't need to, in fact he didn't exactly care himself. He just knew he could use this as an advantage. Why not kill two birds with one stone.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"Kabul... Beast... B-Back down."

[/center]
Surprised that he demand actually got through to the Dysphorian Dictator, Amanda watches in amazement as both members of the Templar step away from Jade Brooklyn and make their way back to their leader, like stray dogs following their way back home. Flanking Pavor on either side from behind him, the Masked Monster and Dysphorian Destroyer monitor the scene while their leader motions for Jade to come closer.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"I s-suppose we should come down t-to the topic of introductions... I am Pavor Nocturnus, man of many n-names...

...And y-you are?"

Amanda Brooks:
"Pavor... Leave 'er out-"

Pavor Nocturnus:
"Amanda... Enough. S-simple questions, yes, yes... Simple questions indeed...

"Y-your AJ Scally's rookie, aren't y-you? Oh Amanda... H-how disappointing... First you plant a t-target on D-Dustin Delta's back and now Scallys? You're quite the man eater! A-hah-hah-hah!

"J-Jade... I don't deal with spies too favourably... H-However, I'm certain there's a good explanation, is there not?"[/center]
Now it's Pavor's hands that clench tightly. The number one contender to the New Age title was enough of a physical threat but backed by the well over seven hundred pounds combined behemoths had trouble written all over it. Jade needed a good explanation, and fast.

Jade stumbled over her words as she stared at the large man, but then couldn't help but smirk.

"Okay I lied.. that was a load of rubbish. See when you can barging in here acting like the king himself with your two overly large bags of shit, who I didn't even know were here.. when you got close enough to my fellow brit over there… hmm I was going to lets say kindly kick your ass and drag her out of her. I don't think she needs your help corrupting her mind with bull shit."

Smirking the Gorgeous Gambit was playing poker with her own life, but she didn't really recognize the threat not at that moment. Crossing her arms once again and sitting into her right hip her face went stoic and she just stared the three men down from beneath the brim of her hat. Tilting her head down some so that they could see her face, Jade looked over to Amanda and motioned with her eyes to quickly start to book it for the doors. Jade remembered this place now and knew that there were more than one exit to get out of the gym. Amanda could use the main one and Jade would skillfully get herself out of the hairy situation by using one of the locker rooms. She'd meet her up around the corner and then they could both book it to where ever they thought was safe. Amanda's eyes widened but she made a slight gesture with her hand saying yes to Jade.

Looking back up Jade raised an eyebrow at Nocturnus and the Templars.

"Oh and by the way.. leave Aj alone. He doesn't know why I am here.. or even that I am here. Leave him alone.. I highly suggest it."

Each word was filled with venom and her emerald irises were like piercing needles into the heads of the men, she was acting she was being completely serious. It was either the stupidest thing she had ever done or she just expected to get away somehow.

TBC- Amanda or Pavor

[The Templar]

Known for his quick and sharp wit, for once Pavor Nocturnus seemed silenced. Smiling over to Amanda, Jade figured she had it in the bag, that she knew the kryptonite to the seemingly superhuman being before her. That was, of course, before the laughter started. Starting out low and deep in his chest, the typical shrill laugh of the Masked Messiah blurted out from his throat. Muffled from behind the mask, it was still entirely insulting, with every bit of fiber within him and the burlap sack he hid behind.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"A-hah-hah-hah! Oh how bold you are... I can certainly see w-why y-you and young Amanda Brooks are such colleagues... I am a m-man of c-curiosity though... Clear things up y-you say? Oh my Amanda... You've b-bitten off a bit more than you can ch-chew I take it?"

[/center]
Possibly shamed or just not inclined to speak right now, Amanda ignores her pro and simply stares back down at the ground. Jade, not one to back down so easily opens up her mouth in protest but the Dysphorian Dictator makes sure she doesn't say a word.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"W-we'll discuss that later... N-now, corruption you s-say? Hardly... If anything y-you taking her out of h-her competitive mindset is the m-most corruptible... B-besides, how does that look? H-Her rival in EVO attempting t-to coax her outside of the P-Pros sights? Tsk, tsk Jade... A little underhanded, don't you th-think?

"H-However... There are s-some things that c-cannot be avoided I suppose... S-somebody needs to deal with s-such audaciousness, do they not? I m-mean Scally has already interfered himself in my affairs, inserting himself into m-my title match with H-Hayden at Dawn of Destruction so his fate is already sealed. There isn't a thing y-you can do to save the Aussie..."

[/center]
Now ignoring his rookie entirely, Pavor takes a step forward towards Jade and looks the young girl up and down. She would be a threat in the competition, however Pavor knew if he swayed Amanda in the right direction she'd go as directed. Behind his own set of emerald eyes, the only thing visible through his mask, the Masked Messiah stares deeply into Jade's.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"Wh-what exactly makes y-you so confident?"

[/center]

Jade smirked up at her assailant and licked her lips while smiling at him. She had no idea what she was doing, but anything to keep his focus off Amanda was good. He was corrupting her.. she in the end was a good person just misunderstood and just as lost as Jade was.

"And deary I wouldn't dream of taking Amanda out of Evo.. I mean.. I love competition. So don't worry your ugly huge head about it.. and yes we cleared things up. Let's just say we h-had a physical altercation.. and it e-ended badly. So I c-came here.. to clear things u-up with her. Get it?"

The Gorgeous Gambit crossed her arms and just stood there every once in a while looking over at Amanda to make sure she knew that when she thought it was best she needed to book it out of here. Not only that but Jade needed to start resting up she had things she had to do tomorrow and people she had to see. Releasing her arms she rubbed a finger up the bridge of her nose, she had a headache already just from talking to this guy. Afterwards she tilted her head and placed her hands on her hips and cleared her throat a little.

"You are practically like every other wrestle here, yes you can talk and yes you could beat peoples asses. But there are some individuals that have an imagination like no other. Could do the wickedest things just because the idea popped up in their head. But that is not like you is it, you are more charge and kill no imagination no thought. I mean dumb Fighty fighty persons don't think do they.. they just act which I guess are more like your brutes behind you than like you.. however you aren't much different. You have the more dominant personality so they walk behind you like the bitches they are."

Jade's face was completely emotionless. This was how she got when she was trying to look out for someone, completely ruthless and unresponsive to any danger she may face. She looked completely relaxed but Jade's lower torso was turned ever so lightly, so at any second she could be in an offensive or defensive stance in a mere second. The Spry Starlit awaited whatever overly dominant male comment came next.
[/sup][/ul][/font]

TBC- Pavor or Amanda

[The Templar]

Stiff as a board and ready for an onslaught, Jade's body language was nothing even parallel to Pavor's stance. Calm and relaxed, Pavor seemed loose and on his toes, not even so much as expecting a slap to the face. He was overconfident and arrogant and embraced the traits entirely. However, staring into the starlet's eyes and grasping how serious she was, the Masked Messiah releases a sly smile from beneath the burlap sack and stiffens up his left arm and slightly cocks back his elbow down his side. He knew if she even so much as flinched a nice elbow to the jaw would be given for her efforts.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"Y-You know... I suppose y-you're right Jade... Goodness gracious h-how could I be so stubborn...

Surprised, Amanda and Jade quickly make eye contact. Maybe Pavor felt threatened by the girl or her words really spoke to him? The Dysphorian Dictator, regardless, seemed to be touched by the words.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"I m-mean of course y-you're right Jade... Every s-single ounce of m-motivation in me is s-spontaneous... When I fight, I d-don't fight thinking, I just fight to kill... Oh how well you know me... I j-just never r-realized it myself... It's exactly why I kn-knocked you on your b-back when y-you insulted me... Opposed my orders... It's why, as of th-this second, security is p-pulling me off of your mangled b-body...

"It's exactly why, J-Jade, I'm about to p-prove you right..."

[/center]
Suddenly it clicked in, Pavor Nocturnus wasn't falling under defeat, he was mocking her. In the cold, calculating mindset a hundred different scenarios flashed through his mind but the most ironic would be to act on impulse however, flashing his emerald eyes into Jade's own, Pavor felt as though he knew exactly where he was going.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"... Or... I h-have a better idea. H-How bout at D-Dawn of Destruction I knock your P-Pro out of this competition? Well, actually, th-that was a given... H-However, you cannot be gone unnoticed and I am a-a m-man of fair trade...

"We could, of c-course, always arrange a l-little match... And s-seeing as to h-how favourably you speak of m-my Rookie Killers, how b-bout a little sparring session with them?"

[/center]
Amanda knew exactly what he was doing. Pavor Nocturnus wasn't the spontaneous, kill for thrills type like Jade assumed, but Beast and Kabul were. She knew they wouldn't be above fighting a girl on his command, nor tearing them apart limb from limb. Combined, Amanda and Jade didn't have enough prowess to take down the tag team champions yet but she had to separate Jade from them, get either her pro and the Templar out of here or Jade.

TBCB Amanda or Jade.

Jade looked stiff however, she was not. Actually the British Bombshell was quite at ease she stayed with her hips turn slightly so that she was ready to either be defensive or offensive, but that was it, nothing was tense in her body she loved the fact that she barely knew how this guy worked it almost gave her a sort of thrill she couldn't explain. But she couldn't worry about that right now, her purpose for being here is to get Amanda away at least for right now from his manipulation and corruption. Amanda in the end was not as harsh or bitchy or self centered as she seemed, she was lost and put up a front much like Jade had been doing. They weren't so different and Jade was going to bring out the best in Amanda.

As Jade was thinking she had lost focus on what was at hand and Pavor saw this and motioned the Beast to 'go make sure she was okay'. The Beast ran for her and once Jade finally noticed she stumbled back some her eyes widened slightly.

"Shit…"

Finally getting a bit of good footing as he got nearer, Jade popped off the ground while arching back into a back hand spring. Her legs came up and flew into the underbelly of the Beast's chin making him groan and cough some. Jade stood on her hands for a second before slowly lowering her legs down and slowly standing up. Jade sighed out some and caught her breath a little as she backed up a couple more feet, but she only hit something hard. Closing her eyes she groaned and then opened them turning around, but as she did Kabul's arms wrapped around her and squeezed her.

"Augh…let… go!"

She struggled against the grip. Jade's own elbows were digging into her sides and as he squeezed more tightly it became harder to breathe. Kabul walked back over towards Pavor, Beast by his side as he stood there holding the little 'heroine' in his crushing bear hug grip. With the increased blood flow but the lack of circulation Jade's head started to spin and because of her concussion she didn't really know how long she was going to last. Jade smirked though a little as she finally opened one eye and looked down at Pavor.

"A-apparently you need your brutes to take me out.. can't do it yourself can you..?"

Kabul jolted some squeezing her hard for a mere second which made Jade cry out a little, but not much. She coughed hoarsely and looked towards Amanda, if anything Amanda could go run and get help.. security, staff, Aj or something it didn't matter, but it would be better than just standing there and doing nothing. Jade had gotten herself in a tight one, she knew it wasn't looking good for her since the two cavemen found her, but she wasn't going to allow Pavor to get to Amanda at least not at this moment. Whatever Amanda did it needed to be quick, Jade was starting to fade her head wrapping circles around absolutely nothing and her vision blurring. Jade just hoped that after everything she had just gone through for Amanda, that she would tell Pavor she'd do what he wanted if he let Jade go. Amanda needed to get her ass out of there and come back with help. Finally without warning, since Jade and the men were a few good yards away from Amanda, Jade screamed at her.

"B-bloody hell Amanda… GO!"

TBC-Pavor or Amanda (ooc: hopefully this is okay. I don't usually control other peoples characters, but at the same time idk! lol but hopefully this is okay, if its not I can think of something else, so please just let me know Pavor.)

[Amanda Nathan]

Amanda looked at Jade for a moment. She couldn't decide whether to run or stay. If she ran Jade would be slaughtered. She decided to do something that Pavor would have loved if he was paying attention. She turned on her prowess of persausion.

Amanda: You know Pavor... I just realized something. Jade 'ere isn't anything. She just another diva. So let 'er run back to 'er Pro and you an I can work this out.


Pavor looked at her with an unreadable look.

Pavor: W-what was th-that?

Amanda slyly gave Jade a wink. Looking back at her Pro she ran her fingers through her hair.

Amanda: I like a good bit of competition. So saying that you should let the girl go. I'm the one you want to control. So 'ere's your chance. You and I one on one? What do you say?

Amanda waited for his response as Jade looked on in both pain from being squeezed and shock of what her fellow brit had just said.

TBC: Pavor or Jade

[The Templar]

In his mind this was going nowhere near what he imagined, yet it was still playing in his favour. He figured it had something to do with the over analyzing mind of women versus his much more direct approach. Regardless, everything was exactly in place as to how he wanted. Both of the girls were foolish and ignorant to his game plan and he enjoyed every second of it. He didn't want to control her, he wanted her to control everyone else. She didn't know it, but she would do it. He would make her think she's won, give her that confidence, then take it away.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"R-Release her"

On command, Jade is released from her excruciating grip. Grinning from behind the mask, Pavor knew this would get out. As matter of fact, the entire roster and wrestling community would find out. Would there be a usurp or rebellion to Pavor's minions? He certainly hoped so. An enraged Scally would be exciting to deal with not to mention all of the potential of Jade's past... Hughes was already taken out but Jaggeroth, Desperado, the list went on.

Pavor Nocturnus:
"And I th-though you'd never ask Amanda... H-However, I don't want such strife between r-rookie and P-Pro to be such public knowledge... B-Bring an audience if you'd like but... It w-wont matter either way.

"We'll rendezvous here, b-back in the gym. B-back in the gym, right before my m-match with Delta... I l-look forward to it Ms. Brooks... I certainly hope you kn-know what y-you're doing..."

[/center]
In an all too familiar fashion, Pavor lets out his high and shrill laugh before ordering his monster's out with him with a wag of his finger. Wandering through the gym door, the Dysphorian Dictator leaves the two girls to discuss what exactly just happened.

End of Thread. Or TBCB Amanda or Jade if they'd like to continue their conversation.

[Amanda Nathan]

Amanda ran her fingers through her hair and bit her lip. She looked over at Jade who was obviously disappointed by what she had just done. As The Spry Starlit opened her mouth to say something, Amanda put a finger up to her.

Amanda: I did what I 'ad to do. Just go back to Scally and don't worry about me.. I'll be fine. One way or another.. I'll be fine. Just go back to Scally... Tell 'im.. Bloody 'ell Jade just go. Unless you're going to do something that 'elps go worry about yourself. I got to get ready for Pavor.

Amanda started to walk away when Jade walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

Smiling weakly and the Sunkist Star in front of her she rubbed her shoulder and then slowly started to walk off out of the gym.

"Please…take care of yourself Amanda.. I think you are the one person I could count on over anybody here.."

With that Jade walked out and started down the corridor trying to walk as confident as she could even though her knees were about to give out on her.

"I need to find Scally.. he needs to know."
