A video of Gilmore and Alek is shown with shaky camerawork and clearly filmed on an Android phone. Gilmore and Alek go through chain wrestling, and different basic moves. Laughter is heard. The camera spins to Alek, who is sitting on the couch. A tear creeps from his eyes as the mist from last week returns. Covering up patches of his face with the Cheshire mask, Alek's eye goes from looking at the tv to moving to the camera. The tear steadily falling as everything freezes.
" Odyssey, a great story. Betrayal, rising above all odds. Homer out did himself. This tournament can be my Odyssey. The creation of a legend. A story for years. Having to defeat my former teacher, and a formidable opponent in Virginia. Like I said last week, I want respect. I'm looked over by a ton of people and fans. Fate keeps giving me these opportunities and I keep failing to grasp them. Now, this one is special. The storytelling on full display. A student surpassing the master. A rivalry being born. I am the greatest natural physical specimen in this whole federation. I am dying to prove it. Dying to show the world and the higher powers that I can be a champion. I pity my two opponents. Fate has chosen me and has scorned you."
The only thing moving that whole time was Alek's mouth. The uncovered side. A handprint slowly burnt into the Cheshire mask as Alek spoke. The outline of the hand glowing.
" Let Fate decide the start of my Odyssey."
