Vasarian_Brandy 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 “SON OF A FUCKING BITCH!!!” The words are barely from my lips when I wince at my own voice. The med tech looks up from his work on my knee, and I can just feel the color drain from my face. “Sorry,” I say sheepishly. He shrugs, and then sets back to work looking at my knee. The fucker’s throbbing, swollen… However, it’s distracting me from the general pain and soreness coursing its way through my body. I lean back in the chair… The aggravation… The absolute frustration I’m feeling right now… There’s very little keeping me from going on a complete fucking rampage… Oh… The fact that Lezaire worked my knee into near oblivion, and I can barely walk right at the moment, is stopping me pretty good. I close my eyes, reliving the match in my mind… …Before Fury can power away however, Ace grabs a hold of Fury’s ‘suspect’ knee, wrapping his legs around it in a grapevine and locking on a leg lock! Christian’s mind tells him to escape, but his body is already way ahead of him, scampering towards the bottom rope and clinging onto it to break the hold, but Lezaire still holds on for- “ONE!” “TWO!” “THREE!” “FOUR!” -as long as he can, before Kivell threatens him with a DQ!... I should’ve figured the ropes wouldn’t stop him… Should’ve fought that somehow… That was the start of the downhill to the match… Just when it seems Ace may loose his grasp and let Fury slip away, he improvises, grabbing Fury’s knee and pulling it high into the air, before slamming the joint down against the canvas! A quiet yelp of pain escapes Fury, trying his best to not let anything on, but Lezaire smells blood, and not the trickle escaping from his own nose. With a quick pivot, Ace drives his knee into Christian’s spine, keeping the tag team champion firmly in place before yanking back on his leg with a Single Leg Crab! Unlike before, Fury finds it near impossible to budge with Lezaire’s knee grinding into his back and causing more than great discomfort. However, the real pain in shooting through his knee as Ace torques his leg left and right, pulling back on it as far as it will go! I let this… this kid… Man-handle me, out-think me… The fans cringe as Fury’s head bounces off the turnbuckle pad, but Lezaire doesn’t let go there, instead he keeps a firm hold, letting Fury land spine first down across his knees! OOOOOOHHHHHH!! The sight of Fury, draped over Lezaire’s knees, blood rushing to his head is a sick one, but Ace delights in his opponent’s predicament, not because he likes causing pain, but because it looks great on camera. Lezaire is not just a slave to the spotlight however as Fury will attest to, the Canadian making sure to wrench back on his injured leg mercilessly. This kid gave me barely any quarter… No sort of escape… …Fury then tries an Irish Whip into the ropes, but Lezaire digs in, holding still and not budging. Fury tries again but Ace refuses to move, but as he tries a third time, a searing pain shoots through his knee as he hyper extends in his attempt to whip Ace! Lezaire counters the whip, sending the tag team champion hobbling into the ropes. Lezaire grins as he waits for his opponent to return, making sure to lift him into the air with his injured leg, slamming him down- *WHAM!!* -face first with a flapjack! Lezaire suddenly comes to life, pivoting around and threading his own leg through Fury’s as he lies prone. Lezaire then reaches forward, linking his hands together and hooking them around Christian’s head with a face lock! The crowd cannot believe what they’re seeing as Fury struggles to fight on, Lezaire arching back, putting even more pressure on his neck and legs, which are tangled dangerously around Ace’s. His knee is on fire, pain shooting through it relentlessly… but he fight on! Using his arms which lie free, Fury digs into the mat and tries to pull himself forward, the bottom rope only a few inches away! Lezaire grabs Fury’s arm, holding it in his grasp while he applies the face lock! Fury struggles to move the final inches needed, his arm held at the side of his head as Lezaire wrenches back, until… *DING! DING! DING* And that, as they say, was that. I shake my head, all the pain having finally faded to a low-level throb with me not concentrating on it. Concentration. Yeah, that’s definitely something I was lacking tonight. My mind was completely preoccupied with the events on Lockdown. The cryptic message to Toxxic from Silent. And come to find out… There was another. I saw the replays on the Smarktron… The beating Toxxic took at the hands of the ex-Clan member… I can only imagine what Toxxic was thinking when he saw that little montage. Before this show I got some inside info on what exactly had gone on between the two in my absence, and I understood that there was no love lost between these two. I found myself sympathizing with the Straight-Edge Sensation for a moment. Then I chalked it up to the pain killers. The med tech finally looks up from his clipboard, clearing his throat. I must’ve really been off in my own little word… I look at him expectantly. “There’s some good news,” he says to me. “There’s no permanent damage. Just a little overextension and deep bruising.” He pauses for a moment… A pause I don’t really like. “There’s something else, isn’t there…” “Yes.” He sits down on the footstool by my chair. “If they wind up putting you on the next card, you’re not going to be at full strength by then. And if your opponent focuses on it, which is likely if they’ve scouted you at all, you could be risking some more severe damage.” I sigh, nodding. “The best we can do is send ahead the word to the next venue that you’ll need a pre-show treatment… Probably a shot.” He jots some notes down, gratefully missing the wince I showed. “We can do one for you now, and then some pain and anti-flammatory medication. Otherwise…” He hands me a slip of paper. “Ice it, stay off it as much as possible, typical stuff.” He looks at me for a moment. “Shall we?” I sigh, knowing damn well that I’ll probably not get much rest, let alone be left off the next card. “Hit me, Doc.” Why not? Everyone else had been the past week or so… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vasarian_Brandy 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 You know, I hadn't at all anticipated that the return of Kibagami would have this much impact on anyone else in the fed. Intriguing... It's all the history, my friend... When I first started in the fed, I was the goody-good face... Always fighting the good fight, getting the girl... Then Kibs and I decided to do something a little different. I don't know what it was exactly that started it, but we decided that Silent was somehow going to get me recruited in the Clan. That started a snowball torrent of promos... A kidnapping... A Clan 'basic training' camp, run by Silent... Culminating in (probably at that time) one of the more interesting heel turns known. Oh, and if you ever hear about people carving names in other people's chests... Now you know. And knowing's half the battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you see, Janus... Fury never knew you were in the Clan... Unless you were, like, Malice or something... (Chuckle) Then that would be interesting...

That cut on Ace's forehead must be pretty deep... If his brains are leaking out like that and he doesn't remember THE MATCH... THAT HE AND FURY JUST HAD!
