King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Backstage, and in normal time, and Leon Rodez is apparantly still in search. In search of two partners for his six man tag team match, later in the night. Strolling down one of the hallways, Rodez is clearly deep in thought as he passes by the many nameless members of staff. Before coming to a quick stop, as to his left stand Los Conquistadors, conversing with each other in high-speed Spanish. Rodez begins to ponder for a moment, before shaking his head. RODEZ Nah...I'm not THAT desperate... Rodez walks on a couple of steps, only to stop again. RODEZ ...well, yet anyway. Continuing on, Rodez turns off into catering. Still The Silky Smooth One is deep in thought, not even noticing Zack Malibu and Some Guy sitting at one of the tables, amongst the otherwise nameless band of lackeys. Rodez grabs himself a Mountain Dew (SHILL~!), sighing and wondering why it's the only drink you can ever get an OAOAST show...but as he turns around, he's suddenly confronted by Zack! The two former enemies face-off, as Some Guy quickly interjects himself. Zack motions to his buddy that it's 'cool' though and Some Guy backs off. MALIBU Back it up kid. I hear you're having problems with Drek and The GPX. RODEZ What's it to you? MALIBU I think you know 'what it is to me', Leon. You know what the Global Party Exchange did to me and you know what Drek Stone's been doing to me. Hell, you were there when he dumped me out of Battlebowl from behind. So, you know I wanna get my hands around his throat and The GPXs. Now, rumour is, you need two partners for a six man tag match tonight. Right? Rodez nods. MALIBU Congratulations. You've got your partners. A smile slowly forms on Rodez's face as to the side of him, Some Guy bugs out. RODEZ Well, I am kinda running out of time here. So, I guess you guys'll have to do. MALIBU I'm glad you're so happy to have us on board. RODEZ Wha...oh, don't get me wrong, I'm pleased to have you and this guy... SOME GUY Some Guy. RODEZ ...no, I said [i]this[/i] guy. If he's teaming with us, you might wanna get him some cotton buds or something. SOME GUY No, my name is Some Gu... RODEZ No, wait, cotton buds actually [i]push[/i] the wax back, deeper into your ears. I read it one of those women's magazines they have laying in hospital waiting rooms. Informative reads. If you're ever wondering how to get a great bikini body in 2 months, I'm your man. Zack raises an eyebrow, glancing over at Some Guy, who stands with arms folded. RODEZ On a serious note, it'll be great to have you out there. To be honest, I did have you in mind... SOME GUY Yeah, I bet you did. RODEZ What's that supposed to mean? SOME GUY Oh, come on kid. We're not stupid. You expect us to believe that it's just coincidence that you challenged Drek and The GPX to a match, without any partners...and you don't have any partners still, when you just 'happen' to stumble upon us here. MALIBU Man, what are you... SOME GUY You know, it'd be a real shame if a certain [i]someone[/i] had a change of heart all of a sudden, during his match and decided to turn on his partners. Real shame. Shaking his head, Rodez sighs. SOME GUY What's the matter...did I figure out the plan? Did I guess that this is all a Drek Stone formulated plan? Come on man. We weren't born yesterday. You just 'happen' to 'bump into' Drek and his buddies and 'challenge' them to a match. Then, you 'can't find partners'. But, 'luckily', you 'stumble upon us'. We accept because we're so 'blinded with rage', leaving us four on two for when you 'shockingly' allign yourself with Drek and your buddies. RODEZ You know, if you're teaming with me, you might want to get the conspiracy theories out of your head. SOME GUY Well, guess what...Zack might be stupid enough to trust you, but I'm not. Zack turns to Some Guy and looks confused. SOME GUY Buddy, I'll have your back tonight when this kid turns on you. But I'll be damned if I walk right into the path of a beatdown. I've got something else to take care of tonight anyway. Good luck out there though. You're gonna need it. Some Guy pats Zack on the back, to make sure he knows there's no hard feelings, before walking off. Meanwhile, Rodez wipes his hands across his face in disbelief. RODEZ So much for that. Look, I'm really not planning anything. I swear. MALIBU Look, don't worry about him. He's just a little parranoid over this whole uprising that's brewing. He doesn't trust anyone under the age of 25 right now. I'm pretty sure you're on the level though. So, I've got someone in mind that can replace Some Guy. If you still want me on board. RODEZ Of course. Who is it? MALIBU Well...you'll find out. Shrugging, Rodez begins to walk off...but gets stopped by Zack after little more than a couple of steps. MALIBU Just for the record...if you [i]do[/i] try anything, then I [i]will[/i] be ready for it. And I'll have no problem kicking your ass, just the same as Drek and The GPX's. RODEZ *nods* Understood. Rodez finally gets to walk off, as Zack smirks slightly. Edited July 13, 2005 by King Cucaracha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
