Recharge.

[ADudeFromCLE]

You think just because I bleed that I am mortal?

You thought wrong.

Andrew might have "won" our match this week by making me bleed first, not that any of you would know that since the powers to be have not released the footage of the match, because they don't want you to see what happened after words.

I am a man of my word and we did as I said we were going to do.

We burnt the ring down, and not a single person could stop us.

That's why we are where we are this week isn't it Roberto?

You know, you know deep down in that cold black heart of yours, no one can stop us.

Only we can stop us.

We see Kole walking in a secluded woods somewhere in Japan. He's wearing his jacket with the hood resting on his shoulders, he makes his way deeper into the woods where we can hear a river flowing. Kole stops at the riverbed and kneels down next to it, removing something from his waist we see Zasshu's mask now in his grasp. He dunks it down into the river and we see a slight glow come from the area. Kole's head perks up as he hears a twig being snapped, he slowly turns his head and sees a figure come out of the shadows, it's Xavier Cross.

Cross: The others, they think you are crazy you know.

Kole doesn't respond, he turns his head back to the river, the glowing dies down, he pulls the mask out of the river and ties it back around his belt.

Cross: What's this all about?

Kole stands, takes a sniff of the air and tilts his head to the side his eyes narrow as he looks at Cross.

Kole: This is the spot that the original Zasshu died, the actual dog, that gives this mask it's powers, I've noticed that the powers have been dwindling the past few weeks so, since we are near Japan, I figured I'd give it a recharge...but why are -you- out here I wonder?

Cross gives a smile.

Cross: Just watching out for my investment is all big guy.

Kole isnt buying it as he towers over the smaller man.

Kole: If you were actually Cross I'd believe that.

Cross: What are you talking about? It's me your buddy Xavier Cross.

Kole: Hrm...you look like him, even down to his scars and skin marks, the right hairs are turning gray, the right amount of stubble, I'd even guess your finger prints are the same, but the one thing you couldnt change is the one thing that lets me know you are lying. Your scent.

Cross starts to look angry.

Cross: It's a new cologne.

Kole: Lie to me again and I'll send you back to whatever plane you came from. Hveðrungr.

"Cross" looks shocked.

"Cross": That's a name I haven't been called in centuries. I knew letting you acquire that mask was a mistake...

Kole: It's only a mistake if you cross me, otherwise, I care not for your games you play with the others, they serve my purpose also, my only demand is you make sure young Ulf is on the right side of history when the time comes.

"Cross": Time comes for what?

Kole: You'll know when it happens. Be on the right side of history, or stay out of my path, and we will have no issues, be on the wrong side, or get in my way, and I will send both of you on a one way trip to Hel.

Kole flips his hood up over his head and turns to walk off.

Kole: Until then my mischievous friend, continue to do what you are doing.

"Cross's" eyes narrow as Kole walks off and disapears into the shadows.

This week here in Shanghai the powers to be have pitted the three most dominate forces in the Imperail Wrestling Federation against each other. 

They think this will tear us a part.

Or they hoping we will go out there and cause some kind of shenanigans and throw the match for one of us so they can eliminate all four of us from the Heir To The Throne tournament.

Spoiler alert.

Neither will happen.

This will only make us stronger.

See for me, I view this as a test. I get to test the two of the three men I have aligned my self with, to see if they are worthy to continue to fight by my side, they have proven them selves time and time again outside of the ring, but if they can not compete with me inside the ring.

And if they cant, then the beatings will continue until they can.

But I am not worried about that, see, I know what these two men are capable of doing, and I fully expect both of them to bring everything they have to this match, not because we hate each other and want to beat each other to a pulp, but because all us understand.

The only one's that can BEAT us...is US.

And this wont be the last time we face off either, because after this match, no matter what happens, all of us, all of The Council will be in the Heir To The Throne tournament.

And there is not a damn thing anyone in that locker room can do about it, from Jayson Matthews, to Ryan Shane, to Andrew Jacobsen, not a single one of you can STOP us, all you can do is sit back, watch as we destroy everything you love, and

Pray.
