Change of strategy

[Dave Carter]

The scene opens in locker room area, where some loud shouting can be heard. As the camera focuses on one of the locker rooms, Dave Carter and Jonathan Winston Hill can be seen inside. At that moment, Carter appears to be really pissed, signified by him grabbing a nearby trash can and throwing against the wall.

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
Calm down Dave.

~~Dave Carter~~
They can't fucking do this! They can't! It's my title! I made it! Vortigern has no right!

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
I said down, damn it!

The last words of Jonathan echo loudly through locker room area, finally getting Dave's attention. Realizing throwing a tantrum in from of his business partner might not be the best decision for him, the Lightning finally settles down, takes a few deep breaths and now begins to speak in a lot calmer manner.

~~Dave Carter~~
You are right. I'm sorry. Still, Stone Orchard have no god damn right to make the MD vs Ryan match for the New Age title. That is my fucking title. I made it what it is today. It's my blood, my sweat, my tears that's covering that title. If it wasn't for Dave Carter, it would be just a simple belt worth absolutely nothing. And now... now they will destroy every ounce of legacy that title possess. You can't allow that to happen!

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
Dave, I agree with you completely that Vortigern had no right putting the New Age title on the line at Total Carnage. But the damn board tends to disagree. They say that Vortigern's, as the new commissioner's, decision was legal and final. As much as I wished to, I can't do anything about it now.

~~Dave Carter~~
How did made such a mistake. How did we let it slip through our eyes. Vortigern becoming a share holder...

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
They pulled a page from our book, that's how they did it. But no matter... it's actually even better.

~~Dave Carter~~
How is it any better having those three umpa-lumpas running around, thinking they call the shots?

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
Dave, Dave, Dave... you know me. I am a man that loves gamble. That loves to compete. That loves to win. Now before this little unexpected mistake, we didn't really have anyone to challenge us. We didn't have a worthy competition...

~~Dave Carter~~
We still don't have that now.

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
Good point... Well, we didn't have any competition at all. But now, we have some. So in my eyes, things just got a lot more interesting. It's a game. A competition. A chance to test ourselves and the "Golden Saints Inc.". But most importantly, a chance to score another victory... cause one way or another, I always win.

A little smile appears across Dave's face.

~~Dave Carter~~
I see your point. Alright, I'm for this game. As long as I can make Stone Orchard suffer.

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
My friend, they will regret the day they decided to return. Yet first, we need to adjust out strategy and strengthen out team.

~~Dave Carter~~
Strengthen, huh... leave that to me. I just happen to know a few guys, that might be interested in some power and good pay.

After finishing the last sentence, Dave exits his locker room and heads down the halls, apparently searching for someone. With that the scene fades away.

-----15 minutes later-----

The scene opens up again, this time at the different part of the GHW backstage area. Dave continues to walk through the halls, his eyes intensively searching for something. Finally, they lock on spot. Carter stops on his track and smirks, before slowly begins to approach his target.

~~Dave Carter~~
Finally... I found you. Welcome to GHW...

TBC by they know who

[angelicninja]

Three dark cloaked figures are seen standing just a few feet ahead of Dave Carter. One man is easily recognizable by the katana strapped to his back, that being the Rogue Ninja himself, Chris Pyro. The other one is also fairly recognizable as the blonde haired ninja. The third one is new. He wears the same garb as Pyro and Tenshi, the black over sized cloak with red clouds, but he has black spikey hair and an orange mask with a swirl pattern that only shows his right eye.

Dave:
He's new, what happened to the other one you had?

Pyro turns around, as the three men look at the GSI leader.

Pyro:
He got in the way of a mission I was given, so I killed him. This one is Akira Hiroto. Now, what do you want Dave? You don't talk to me for almost a year and now you come up to me?

Tenshi and Akira step up beside Pyro and look at the man, curious as to their relationship. Pyro looks between the two, and judging by the curious look on Tenshi's face, he decides to fill them in.

Pyro:
Before I opened my eyes to the world, me and Dave were two members of All That Counts, trying to save the pathetic wrestling business. He left shortly after we started, leaving us behind. So what do you want Dave?

All three ninjas look to Dave for an answer.

TBC: Dave

[Dave Carter]

Dave chuckles a bit and smirks, before replying.

~~Dave Carter~~
What everybody wants Chris... money... power... revenge... The question, however, is - what do you want? What do you desire?

Pyro seems rather confused about Dave's words.

~~Dave Carter~~
You want to make changes, Chris. Rid the world of corruption, right? Alas, Chris, you should have realized by now, that no matter how many you kill and make suffer, you can't change the world with a sword. But you can change it with money and power.

Carter steps closer to Pyro, showing no intimidation by him.

~~Dave Carter~~
I'll cut it short, Chris. I need a few vicious, strong and wise men for my team. And you need support. They way I see it, one little deal could make both sides happy. So the question is very simple - yes... or no?

TBC by Pyro

[angelicninja]

Pyro looks at his former ally as he offers a hand gaining power, but when he hears that he can't change the world with a sword, a scowl comes across his face.

Pyro:
You must have me confused for some other pathetic person. I never said I wanted to change the world with Kakozu. I could careless about power, I'd rather bring down those in power then have it myself. But I do need money if I'm going to get what I want done.

Pyro looks at his ally, seeing the lack of fear he has towards Pyro.

Pyro:
I'll help you, for a price. I haven't liked Metal Dragon or Matt Oliveira or their mule Vortigern. I don't have much of an interest in you either Dave. So, I'll help you if you give me a good pay day for doing your dirty work. And you better make sure its a price Stone Orchard can't top, otherwise I'll be sure to lend my services to the highest bidder.

Pyro's red eyes lock onto Dave, awaiting to hear what he has to offer him now.

TBC: Dave

[Dave Carter]

Dave doesn't look to happy about Pyro's lack of motivation to join GSI and a moment of silence fills the room. As Chris continues to stare down at him, Carter slightly begins to doubt is such attitude will fit for his team. The silence, however, is unexpectedly interrupted by Jonathan.

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
So this is the new recruits you went out to seek. Interesting.

~~Chris Pyro~~
Who in the hell are you?

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
Jonathan Winston Hill... The mastermind behind the "Golden Saints Inc" and the true, sooner or later the only, owner of GHW. You must be Chris Pyro... I heard a little about you.

As Jonathan extends his hand for Pyro to shake, Chris and his minions just stare him down, looking indifferent.

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
Quite an attitude. Perfect. This careless mentality is just what we need. We'll take it.

~~Chris Pyro~~
Take it? You must be delusional. As I said Dave, the only way I'll join you is if you can offer a generous pay. One that Stone Orchard can't top.

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
Oh I heard that. But I'm not worried. I doubt they could offer anything reasonable. And to tell you the truth, I'm not gonna offer you anything either.

Both Dave and Chris now looked confused at Jonathan, not understanding what this sudden change of situation means. Hill, however, just smirks and reaches in to his pocket. A second later he pulls out a check book and a pen. He then proceeded to write something on the first page of the check book, before ripping that check of the book and handing it to Pyro.

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
Here you go, Mr.Pyro. The check is signed. The only thing it misses is a number. The number of sum you'll get paid.

Dave now begins to smile again, as Jonathan extends the pen to still confused Pyro.

~~Jonathan Winston Hill~~
You will fill that in.

TBC by Pyro

[angelicninja]

A small smile can be seen over the brim of the high collared cloak. Pyro reaches his hands out grabbing the check and pen.

Pyro:
A blank check? I'm not sure if you're a smart man or a stupid one.

Jonathan:
A smart one, considering I'm the name on that check and aquiring your services.

Pyro's head rocks back as he lets out a small chuckle. Pyro puts pen to check as he writes down the price.

Pyro:
Three million, one million for the three of us. Hope your bank account is that deep. But don't for one second mistake my services for friendship, last time I did that, you betrayed me Dave.

As the last words creep from Pyro's mouth he turns with the rest of ANBU and walks away with check in hand. Pyro hands the pen over to Akira who promptly throws it back towards the two GSI members, hitting Dave right between the eyes as the scene fades to a commercial.
