January 23rd, 2001 Johnny Storm's Home in L.A.
**It's been two weeks since Johnny Storm stepped off the plane that sat down in the city of angels. After his abduction that no one knew about, he is close to getting his life back. For Four months he sat in a brick prison with a group of men who are now dead. Three at his hands, and one by his own personal taskforce. After ten showers, ten meals, and video after video of GWA footage, he realizes that he is out of the loop. It would take time to get back on track, but luckily things were going smoothly. He was'nt ready for his return to the ring just yet, but it was time to make his presence known once again. There was a certain CIRCLE of wrestlers that owed him a favor. In his absence it was also apparant that The Methods of Violence have disbanded, leaving him by himself to fight his battles. It was of no matter to Johnny Storm, because he had been fighting for himself for the entirity of his life. Now there was no one left except for the fans of the GWA, and they never mattered as much as the prize at the end of the rainbow. Mei Himagaji was the current Gladiator Champion. It was obvious to Storm that in his absence much has changed. Includeing the quality of wrestlers, for if this was their champion, then perhaps there was no point to return. There is however the oppurtunity to put a few people in their place. Includeing some old SWAer's that just don't matter anymore. Now with a newfound chance to reclaim the prize he has saught after since his arival in the GWA. The Gladiator Championship.
Storm sits up from his position on the weight bench. His muscles are sore, but getting stronger. He has been at it constantly for two weeks now. Since his return to the land of the living he has been determined to fulfill one goal. Get back into the GWA as soon as he can. For now the Gladiator Champion, Mei Himagaji has nothing to worry about, but the time will near when Johnny Storm will be back to 100% and Mei Himagaji will learn that she has entered the Federation that Fantastic built without his permission. Standing now he takes a pair of handles connected to a steel cable, and begins pumping out a repetition of Tricep pulls. His mind wanders from the Gladiator Championship to some of the questions he had about the federation itself. Where was Steven Fury? Who Shot Chris Damm? When did they allow Jackasses like the Strykers to enter the Federation? But most importantly where are Griff Truxell, Alek Cage, and Sebastian Bock, and why did they abandon the Methods of Violence in my absence? Storm finishes his reps, and decides to call it a day in the weight room. After a shower, and a light dinner, Storm starts towards the study where he is to recieve a phone call from a GWA represenative...unfortunatly for Storm he finds Leon Sphinx sitting on a leather couch at the far end of the hall. Slapping his forehead and shakeing his head, he starts towards the fidgety reporter, who now shows a grin from ear to ear.**
JOHNNY STORM: Who the hell let you in?
LEON SPHINX: Your butler....he really is a nice guy once I started talking to him and explaining how I wanted to be the first to have an interview with the most Fantastic wrestler in the GWA! You know when your Shirt came out it sold more shirts than anyone elses! That is of coarse except for Chris Damm's.
JOHNNY STORM: (Storm's eyes narrow in on Leaky who squirms) Well I'll have to get a new butler, and flaterer dies a worse death than one that tells the truth. Fortunate for you that you told the truth. So what can I do for you?
LEON SPHINX: (after pulling out a tape recorder) Well first off I want to ask you some questions about where you've been?
JOHNNY STORM: Shoot!
LEON SPHINX: Well...um......Where have you been for four months. Before you left you seemed to have everything under control. You and Sebastian Bock had a spectacular match for the Olympic title in which you won and became the Olympic Champion, and then you were named the Number 1 Contender for the Gladiator Title. You were set up to face Chris Damm again in what was one of the most anticipated rematches in this federations history, and then without warning you disappeared! What's the deal?
JOHNNY STORM: (with a calm & collected smile) I decided that I needed a vacation.
LEON SPHINX: (not takeing him seriously) Vacation? You've got to be kidding me Storm. The fans want to know. They Have To KNOW!
JOHNNY STORM: What's so wierd about that. I think I deserve a vacation from time to time. Listen Leon everyone knew when I came into this sport that I was a buisnessman first. Buisness came up, and I took the oppurtunity to get in a tiny vacation on the side. Buisness & Pleasure if you will. As far as the accomplishments I had in the GWA when I took my leave of it, is because there is nothing that you mentioned that I can not, and will not do again. It's not like they can keep me out of the Federation I helped to build.
LEON SPHINX: Well....I guess that is feasable now that you've reminded us that not only are you an accomplished wrestler you are also filthy rich as well. So, I know you've been watching GWA TV. What do you think? What are your goals and how do you intend on getting back into the title circuit?
JOHNNY STORM: Leon all those questions have no worth. No merit. Johnny Storm is the most well rounded wrestler ever to grace this profession. Not only am I a technician, but I can also mix it up with the martial artists, the high flyers, and the power houses. Speed, strength, and stamina are my strong points, and being able to exploit those same abilities on my opponents is another bonus that I have been gifted with. Not to mention the fact that I am the single most influintial man that ever stepped foot in this federation. When I speak, people listen. And when they don't, they get eliminated. In the past I have reached the highest level of prestige that one in this buisness ever has, and there is no doubt in my mind that I can do so again. Who's going to stop me? Chris Damm is laid up in his home with his stomach missing. Mei Himagaji, Julius Stryker, Tymolin Stryker? PLEASE! The only person at this point I can think of is Reina Saiaki, and at this point, I'm not so sure she can take me either. The only way these people can really accomplish anything is when they work together. Or has everyone forgotten the SWA when they formed the Stryker Service, and screwed everyone over! I'm sure it's only a matter of convenience that they've all gathered in one place, and they all interact with each other still to this day. Well I've got news for anyone who stands in my way, new or old, you will be Fantastically Eliminated, and you will see why Johnny Storm has the most Fantastic body, the most Fantastic face, and soon the most Fantastic gold, around my Fantastic waist. Now, get the hell out of here Sphinx, and if I hear of you comeing to my home uninvited again, it may be you who is destroyed.
**Leon Sphinx's face goes solomn as he places his tape recorder back within his shirt. He then stands to a vertical position thinking, "Well he's still an asshole!" Leon walks slowly towards the door, and exits as Storm sprawls out on his couch. His eyes wander from tapestry to tapestry in thought of what he had just said. Who would be first on his hit list? One name was apparrant, but would he want to start in on such an opponent without a warm up first. Who...who could test his ability now that he's back from the dead. Who? A smile comes up across his face as his mind races onto one person. He stands up, and starts towards the door leading to the hallway. He walks quickly down the corrador, before entering a room filled with Computer equipment. Once seated in front of his keyboard, he presses a few buttons and an image pops on the screen. He smiles as Griff Truxell's logo revolves on the screen. With a few clicks, his computer begins makeing a computerized noise. Within a few seconds Griff's complete background sits before Storm. After writing down a few numbers, Storm picks up the phone, and a devious smile is all that is left on your impressionable little minds.**
