Gaines: Reina turning to the official now who is in her face with admonishment....Reina turning to the fans, and OH!!! CHAIR SHOT TO THE REF!!! She's turning back to Mei now.....raising the chair above her head and BRINGING IT BACK DOWN ONTO HER FACE!!! Mei is out cold, and she is just dangleing from the ropes! Someone has to stop this, and Reina is winding up again!!! OH MY GOD, PLEASE GET HELP DOWN HERE!!!
Tranza: WAIT A SECOND!!! THAT'S JOHNNY STORM!!! HE JUST HIT THE RING FROM OUT OF NO WHERE, AND HE HAS THE GLADIATOR TITLE!!! REINA DOES'NT REALIZE THAT THEIR REACTION WAS CAUSED BY STORM'S APPEARANCE!!! STORM IS BEGGING HER TO TURN AROUND, POISED WITH THE GOLD......REINA SLOW TO TURN AWAY FROM MEI!!! OH MY GOD!!
Gaines: STORM JUST DECAPITATED REINA WITH THE BELT!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, AND THESE FANS JUST WENT BALLISTIC!!! Storm now, going to the ring apron, he has that cane that he had before, he's starting back towards Reina now who is starting to move! He's holding the cane up to her body and Reina is convulsing all over the canvas...what the hell is up with that....WAIT A SECOND!! ZOOM IN ON THE TIP OF THAT CANE!!!
Tranza: ELECTRICITY!! STORM IS TASERING HER ASS!!! Shades of the Storm we once knew back before he disappeared! Reina has been shocked into submission, and she is down, and not showing any signs of getting up either!!
Gaines: Storm down on his hands and knee's jerking Reina's head up by her hair, whispering something in her ear.....I wish we could hear what he's saying to her! Listen to this crowd though Tranza, they are on their feet applauding Storm! Something I never thought I'd see!
Tranza: Storm getting to his feet now, and he's helping Mei get out of the ropes....Mei just slumped down to the canvas, but I believe that she is conscious and is starting to try and get to her feet. Storm grabbing up the Gladiator Title, it appears that he's going to hand it over to her.....She's on her feet now...and OH MY GOD!! HE JUST GAVE IT TO HER ALL RIGHT!! RIGHT IN THE CRANIUM OF HER SKULL!!!
Gaines: DAMN HIM!! DAMN HIM!! JOHNNY STORM JUST STRUCK AN ALREADY BATTERED MEI HIMAGAJI IN THE HEAD WITH THE DAMN BELT!!! And this capacity crowd just went from a frenzy of cheers, to a frenzy of boo's! You can see it in his face, the smile stretching from ear to ear, as he breaks up towards the ropes. Storm reaching for something in his pocket...what else does he have in store for these two gladiators?
Tranza: I don't know, but that was a perfect way to take out two threats with one stone! Do you not see the brilliance behind it Gaines?
Gaines: OH you would like him! Storm pulling out what looks like a white box from his pocket, and he just placed it in Reina's lifeless hand!
Tranza: Storm climbing through the ropes, and is starting towards the back with a smile on his face, and he's jawing with the fans all the way!
Gaines: But LOOK Tranza! Reina is starting to move, and that is a testament to what kind of athlete she is! Reina on her hands and knee's now, she's holding her forehead, and she has been busted open as a result of that shot by Storm with the Gladiator Belt! She has the white box that Storm gave her in her hand. She's looking down with a look of confusion as if she has no idea what happened! Let's get a close up of that box as she opens it!
:;The Camera zooms in on the white box, as Reina looks to the crowd woozily. She then slides the cover off of the box, and within there set's a Black Rose on a read velvet pillow. Her eyes grow first surprised, and then enrages as she throws the package away from herself.....

FLEET CENTER, BOSTON MASS.
DUREING INSURRECTION: 10:56p.m.
FINAL, FINAL MOMENTS
::Johnny Storm rushes down the long hallways of the Fleet Center, followed by lead field reporter, Ross Bobby, and a camera man. The hustle and bustle of the backstage area does not stop Storm who pushes past GWA Superstars, some of which that extend their hands to welcome him back. He pays them no mind, and continues his trek towards the exit. An errand boy for president Nikki Silver is toppled over, and he acts as if he is going to make a remark, but upon seeing who toppled him, his mouth is closed. Storm trudges on past the locker rooms, and his concentration never broken. That is up untill he passes by a monitor. He stops dead in his tracks, and Ross Bobby runs right into him and finds himself ass end on the concrete floor. Storm looks down at Ross in disgust, and then steps back over to the monitor, and watches the screen as Reina Saiaki gets to her feet and fumbles with the box he had given her. Ross pulls himself up, and reviews Storm's expression as his smile grows with every second she fiddles with the package. She pulls the cover off of the box, as the camera gets a close up view of a Black Rose set upon a red velvet pillow. The excitement sets in as her face grows surprised and then enraged. He nods as if an unseen accomplishment has been fulfilled. He starts to continue on to the exit, but the presence of Nikki Silver catches his eye. He watches on as Reina trys to get by him, but he acts as a road block, before holding his mic up to his lips.::
President Silver: Hold on there sister! I know you're in a big rush...being the new Gladiator Champion and all...You got fan's to meet and chicks to eat!
::Ross watches on as Storm's jaw drops, and then he begins to laugh at the comment. He nods, and points to the screen.::
Mr. Fantastic: I think I'm begining to like that guy!
President Silver: There's the matter of President Ali and one GWA referee getting their asses whipped by you tonight. The Ali thing....I can live with....but I can't let the referee thing just slide! AS OF NOW....I'M DECLAREING THE GLADIATOR TITLE VACANT!!! You earned your shot Reina...but I can't let anyone in this federation go above the law! That goes for you as well as everyone else in the GWA! If you want the title back, perhaps I'll make sure you get a shot at the PPV....then again...who knows?
::Storm's eyes light up at the mention of the Gladiator Title being vacant, and he nods to Ross Bobby who stands in stupification of what is going on through his mind.::
Mr. Fantastic: There is no question about it Ross....I deffinently like him!
::Storm watches on as Reina hesitates for a moment, but then finally drops the belt at Silver's feet. Upon watching her power walk past him, Storm assumes a more serious look on his face, and starts back on his original destination followed by Bobby & the cameraman. Upon arriveing in the Parking Lot, Storm finds the Silver Stretch Limo from earlier on in the night awaiting his word for escape. Storm climbs into the back of the limo after the driver pulls the door open. Ross Bobby stops short of entering the limo, thinking better of it from past experiences with Storm Interviews. He stands in silence untill a vioce piereces the darkness inside the limo.::
Mr. Fantastic: Well are you going to just stand there Ross...or are you going to boost the ratings of the GWA?
:: Ross Bobby can't help but allow a smile at the comment for the mere fact that it is probably true, although he would never tell Storm that to boost his confidance anymore than it already is. Ross hops into the limo, and takes a seat across from Storm, and is followed by the cameraman. The door closes shutting out the lights of the parking lot, and the drivers door can be heard opening and closeing. The limo slowly begins to move, and pulls out onto the exit ramp leading to the expressway. Storm leans back in his leather covered seat, and offers the men a drink from the bar....however they decline, and Ross Bobby looks into the camera ready for work.::
Ross Bobby: Hello GWA fans, this is Ross Bobby here with "Mr. Fantastic" Johnny Storm, who has just made his reappearance to GWA TV! And what a reappearance it was...not only did he enter the ring and strike Mei Himagaji who was already beaten down by the challenger, but he struck the newly crowned Gladiator Champion, who also in the same night....was stripped of that title...."The Black Rose" Reina Saiaki! Johnny Storm, for starters, why in the hell would you go after those two women who relatively have nothing to do with you? What is your motivation?
Mr. Fantastic: (Storm gives a sneer to Ross' question, and then turns to the camera paying him no mind.) Motivation? You have the guts to ask me what was my Motivation. Well first off I'm "Mr. Fantastic" Johnny Storm, and that is motivation enough for me to do anything I want too! But I don't think thats what you want to hear, so lets get down to specifics. I'll even number them for you! Number one Reason....back in the SWA, Reina Saiaki was really good at sneak attacks, but not once did she ever face me in a match. Not because I did'nt want it, cause she did'nt want it! She ducked me, and now that I'm back here in the GWA, She isn't going to have the oppurtunity to walk away from me again! Number Two Reason....Reina Saiaki & Mei Himagaji are what we call Step ups. They wait for a federation to get big off of other people's hard eranred work, and they come in here acting like they own the place. I don't think so! This is the Federation that Fantastic Built, along with the other guys that have helped make a name for themselves. We put in hard time, and hard effort to build this Utopia of Superstars, and they think they can walk all over us. Not on my watch, not in my fed! Number Three Reason......Both of those women were carrying around a belt that was not their property! Before my unpredicted absence, I was the #1 Contendor for the Gladiator Title! When Chris Damm was stripped of the title for not being able to defend it, the Gold would have automatically fell around my waist! They even had to change the card of the PPV because of our absences! Now, when I come back, I find out that there are a bunch of little Strykers...Roses...and Mei's running aruond my fed. What the hell has Steven Fury been up to while I've been gone? Does he have his head up his own a$$, or the a$$ of the Blow Job Queen, MJ Francis. Number Four Reason and my favorite of all.....I just wanted to see Reina Saiaki and Mei Himagaji down on there backs where they looke their best!
But you know what Ross, scratch all that off the record. All but the last comment...I actually kind of liked that one(smiles sarcasticlly to the camera). But I was recently put in a situation that allowed me the time to think about my role in the GWA before I left. Steven Fury called me one night after I had retired the first time, when the SWA went out of buisness, and asked me if I would consider joining up in his fed. The Gladiator Wrestling Association. I did'nt think much more about it, untill I saw one man step through the curtain on Television. A man who had faced both Strykers.....Reina Saiaki....Mei Himagaji....and the other tuck tale and run bastards of the SWA! I don't feel a reason to mention his name cause you know who I'm talking about, and this premeditated attack of mind has nothing to do with him! But I will offer this bit of information before it comes up in your next question seggment.....I was'nt behind your attack Chris....because If I was the one pulling the trigger....I would'nt have took you out of wrestling....I would have took you out of life. Now back to the point...I thought if I faced this man, it would be in some way like faceing those that he had faced. The end result was a great fued that will live on in the hearts of loyal GWA Fans. It did not have the effect that I desired, so we have went our seperate ways.
The point that I am trying to make is that The Past is the Past. What I've said and done is over. The reasons I gave behind this attack are over. No way to erase, no way to change. However, there was a motivation. There was a reason behind this attack. Those two women had something I wanted. Something that I still desire for. The Gladiator Championship. And now that Nikki Silver has made this title vacant, this attack has served my purposes even better than I could have imagined. So Silver if your watching...this goes out to you. Do what you gotta do. Put me in your main event at the PPV, and throw Reina Saiaki in the other corner. Hold the Gladiator Championship over our heads....and watch as I destroy one of your competitors, and replace her as the best of the best!
Now Reina...this goes to you, and you alone. Mei Himagaji just happened to be on our playing field when the attack happened. It was meant for you...make no mistake. And I proved what I needed to prove to the wrestling world tonight. I did what I set out to do! I put the woman down.....and I brought out the Black Rose. You can deny me, You can accept me....but at that moment, when you opened the box, and realized who had struck you down...I knew that I was in control. Watch the tape...look at your own expression. It tells the story all to well.
Now get that damn camera right here on my eyes so that she can see that I'm through playing. (Storm glares into the camera as it closes up on his eyes.) You can send the woman Reina Saiaki......you can send the demon "Black Rose"....Hell, you can even send the God Damn Girl Scout Squad if you want...but rest assured, when you step into the ring with me....all the jokes, all the talk, is going to end there...and I will destroy your body, and break your bones to take possesion of my property. Because right now it is a game.......step in the ring...and it becomes reality. Now get the hell out of here Ross, I need to be alone! DRIVER, STOP THE CAR!
::Ross Bobby's mouth drops in astonishment as the limo slowly pulls off to the side of the expressway. Not to long after that, the very back door opens, and the drivers stands ready to escort the two men out of the limo. The Cameraman steps out reluctantly, as Ross Bobby sits glued to his seat in protest. Johnny Storm eyes him, as he starts his speech of rights and wrongs.::
Ross Bobby: Listen, you can't leave us out here! We have a plane to catch! I...I left my Cell Phone back at the arena!
Mr. Fantastic: Now Ross....Who's fault is that!
::Ross begins to say something else, but is jerked up by his collar instead, and shoved to the concrete outside. Bobby turns over and watches on as Storm's sarcastic smile disappears behind the closeing door of the limo. The Driver then steps back around to the drivers seat, and the limo resumes it's coarse to the Air Port. Ross bobby looks hatefully to the cameraman who had abandoned him, and then throws his thumb out at an on passing car. The car whizzes by without so much as a honk, throwing up a trail of mud that finds itself upon Ross Bobby's pant leg. Ross turns to the cameraman, and points sharply in the direction of the Fleet Center, and walks silently along the side of the road. The Cameraman follows laggingly, and not a word is spoken.::
MARCH 22nd, 2001
STORM'S PRIVATE JET
IN FLIGHT: 1:45a.m.
DESTINATION ATLANTA, GA
::Storm was napping when the fax came through. His private Jet was scheduled to set down in Atlanta, GA around three in the morning, and he was already over half way there. The machines noise awoke him, and he sat up on the couch lineing the wall on one side of the plane. On the other an office like atmosphere, along with a few luxurys not allowed on other planes. Storm stumbles up to his feet hitting a button on a side panel causeing the room to fill with light. He squints his eyes, and rubs away the crustations formed from his nap. He steps over to the desk, and looks to the fax. He pulls the piece of paper out of the tray, and sits down in a leather roller chair. He reads over the list of matches, and when he reaches the end, his eyes grow more aware of his surroundings. He places the paper on the table, and pulls a bottle of Southern Comfort out of his cabnet. He then takes a long swig from the bottle, and then returns it to the cabnet it came from. He turns back to the paper lieing on the desk, and reads over the last couple of lines just to make sure that what he had read was not a mis print.::
**A four way. I ask for Reina Saiaki and they give me two more opponents. Who's idea was this? I bet I know.....Steven Fury! That asshole. He probably got his panties in a twist when he heard what I called MJ Francis earlier. Oh well...what do I care. It's just two women that I took out tonig.....**
::Storm breaks his thoughts by looking to a clock in the corner. 1:48. He then resumes to his thoughts.::
**Two women I took out LAST night. It's only Chris Damm, the one guy who's ever made me feel alive when standing in that ring beating the shit out of him. Why is it that I don't like this though....and what the hell is up with a Battle Royal. Oh well, I hope this does'nt make them think that things have changed any. I'm still going to become the Gladiator Title holder, and I am still going to show them why "I have the most Fantastic body, the Most Fantastic face, and I'll soon have Fantastic Gold, around my Fantastic waist!" Ha! That sounds corney when I say it to myself...oh well. It's all nothing but a draw anyways. Bait for the weak minded. They think because I give myself these silly names that I actually believe them. That's just pathetic. I'ld need to go to a looney bin if I really started believeing it. However, it appears that some people have forgotten that "Mr. Fantastic", "The Black Rose", Chris Damm, Mei Himagaji are all just characters. Granted we are very alive...we are very serious about some of the things we say, but I make money off of my name. That's the point. I saw Chris Damm's last promo...just before he went on to face Reina in an Iron Match, and he actually had the audacity to act as if this was all for nothing. Chris Damm may have came into the buisness for money, but he knows just as well as I do that when he walks away, it will be the hardest thing for him to do. He loves getting in front of a camera just as much as I do. However, it is his character's role to loathe it. It all works fine in the grande scheme of it all.....when we all do our battle of wits. But he knows.....that only those who are weak of mind would bite onto a line of bullshit like that. "This match is about nothing!" What a F*cking joke! He wanted a piece of Reina ever since the Pit of Survival match, just to prove he could beat her. However, it did'nt work like that did it Chris. You still did'nt prove a God Damn thing.....your still at a stand still. You still want her don't you....but I bet you want Alexis back more. Hahaha! I bet he thinks that it's his own little secret..how he pushed her out of his life, how he's screwed himself by letting this thirst for his attackers blood take over him. Eat away at him like a cancer untill he really is dellusional enough to believe that he is in it for the money. He's right on one count though..it's not to become a legend. I mean if that happens in the mean time along side your goals, what's so wrong with that. He's right, we are meal-tickets....but you see, he's so blind to what he's saying, that he does'nt realize that he's doing exactly what he says he isn't. He's a hypocrite. He's sitting there building his self esteem in his own mind by saying that somewhere along the way he forgot what this is all about because he was blinded by what people told him. His problem is just that, he listens to the people. He's got it in his mind that he's the single most important entity in this buisness, and then has the gaul to sit on camera, and say "This match is about nothing." Well, it was about nothing, cause it proved nothing. No winner, no loser...what was the point. Now....Now was his chance, and will this hatred that fuels him be enough to destroy Saiaki? This is now getting more interesting by the minuete. These three have hatred for each other...and I'm doing it cause I love it! HA! Reina hates Mei cause she would'nt let her munch on her carpet, and married her nemesis Ryken! Reina hates Damm for the same reason he hates her. Sadly enough, the three of them are slowly becomeing my best friends. The friends you know you can go to, and they will never refuse you. Not once. All it takes is a good shot to the skull with the Gladiator Belt...and sometimes not even that. Just a few goading comments, and they are ready to go at it tooth and nail. Now that is commitment. That is loyalty! What better friends could I have?
::Johnny Storm smiles to himself, and thinks..."You know what....I really am corney now..." He chuckles in under his own breath, as he starts back over to the couch. He falls backwards with a thump on the coushins, and closes his eyes for one more hour of sleep before he arrived in atlanta.::
MARCH 22nd, 2001
THE OMNI HOTEL
PENTHOUSE SUITE: 10:00a.m.
ATLANTA, GA
::Johnny Storm arrived in Atlanta, and was driven in a limo straight to the Omni. Storm arrived there at 4 in the morning, and was expecting a quiet morning, and a warm bed awaiting him on the Penthouse level. What he found was about 1,000 fans screaming and going nuts who had traveled from all over the south to come and see the GWA Superstars. He steps out of the limo unawares, and is swarmed by them. Security tries to help him to the elevator, but he finally gives in, and the line forms for his autograph. By the time it was over, 10 a.m. had snuck up on him, and he was ready to hit the sheets. He stumbles into the elevator, and leans against the railing, and closes his eyes for a moment. He feels something nudge his arm, and he does'nt think anything about it. Another nudge..he cracks his eye, and looked over and see's no one. His eyes close once again, takeing in the quiet of the ride. Finally a tug comes to his hand, and this time his eyes come completely open. He looks down, and there tugging on his arm was a little girl looking back up at him. She smiles sweetly, and Storm shakes his head in disbelief. He starts to turn away, but then stops short. He turns to the little girl, who now reaches for him to take her into his arms. He shakes his head once again, and lifts the girl up much to her amusement. She laughs, and then takes hold of his kneck hugging him. Storm's eyes open wide, not expecting this from the child. Not sure how to react, he pats her on the back, and she finally relenquishes her grip of his kneck, and sits back on his chest looking at him.::
Mr. Fantastic: Can you tell me your name sweetheart?
Little Girl: Tamra...
Mr. Fantastic: (Storm raises his eybrow as if he wants a full name, but finally settles for Tamra)So...can you tell me how old you are?
Little Girl: ........
Mr. Fantastic: OooKayyy! Can you count on your fingers how old you are?
Little Girl: (she smiles sweetly again, and holds up four fingers.)
Mr. Fantastic: Wow! You're a smart girl are'nt ya. So where is your mommy?
Little Girl: (She shakes her head back and forth)
Mr. Fantastic: You don't know? It's dangerous for you to leave mommy's side. Well.....(Storm looks up at the dial of what floor he's on, and he see's that he's close to his Penthouse.) I guess I'll just take you with me, and call the front desk. I bet a sweety like you has a mom worried.
::She giggles as the elevator ascends untill finally stopping on the final floor. He walks into the room and a GWA agent is waiting there to discuss some of the final contract signings dealing with the Main Event at Vendetta. Upon seeing the child his mouth drops, and begins to say something to Storm. Johnny warns him with his eyes, as he sets the toddler down on the couch. He then turns, and discusses the contract for a few moments, and Storm signs where he has to. The agent leaves upon Storm's request, and Storm looks back to the little girl who is lleaning against the side coushin of the couch hideing her face. She then pops up abruptly.::
Tamra: Peak Boo! hee hee hee!
::Storm smiles and starts unpacking his travel bag at the bar seperating the Kitchen from the living room. She smiles and points at a Johnny Storm T-shirt he throws to the side. He looks to it, then Tamra, and flings it over to her. The shirt engulfs her as it lands, and her giggles can be heard in under it as she falls back onto the couch. He continues unpacking, and then calls down stairs to the front office. The mother apparantly already there, was on her way up as soon as the call was over. He stands at the door waiting, and somehow Tamra had found her way into the shirt, that still engulfed the rest of her body. He smiles at her, and even chuckles a bit to himself, untill finally the elevator door opens, and Storm finds himself looking up and down at the leggy woman who steps off of the elevator. She runs to her child scooping her up in her arms, smothering her with kisses. She then quickly admonishes the girl for leaving her side. She looks to Storm and thanks him for his kindness, and then asks him for an autograph. Storm signs the shirt the girl is now dragging across the floor, and a picture he had with him. He then helped them to the elevator doors. The mother clung tightly to the child now, and she had eyes only for Storm. Johnny smiled at the girl, and stared at her for long moments as the elevator slowly creeped up to the top of the floor. Storm had seen eyes like this girls before....but who? Then it hit him......Mei Himagaji! Storm's mind shoots to the evil side, and he escorts the two disturbances into the elevator, and then heads back into the sitting room. He had an idea now...and idea pertaining to all the participants of the matchup takeing place at the PPV. It would be interesting to see how exactly they would relate to it. Storm smuggly starts towards the bedroom, where he falls down into Unconsciousness.
He awakens some time letter, and takes a long needed hot shower. He then gets into some more comfortable street clothes and starts towards the door. He walks the streets for a couple of hours before stopping in at a Wal-mart discount store, and buys certain supplies for his little experiment. He then returns to his penthouse suite, where he makes several phone calls, includeing the phone call to Howard Plather about an interview for later on in the day. The mood was set, the timeing was perfect, and now, Storm was ready to address the world.::

DUREING INSURRECTION: 10:56p.m.
FINAL, FINAL MOMENTS
::Johnny Storm rushes down the long hallways of the Fleet Center, followed by lead field reporter, Ross Bobby, and a camera man. The hustle and bustle of the backstage area does not stop Storm who pushes past GWA Superstars, some of which that extend their hands to welcome him back. He pays them no mind, and continues his trek towards the exit. An errand boy for president Nikki Silver is toppled over, and he acts as if he is going to make a remark, but upon seeing who toppled him, his mouth is closed. Storm trudges on past the locker rooms, and his concentration never broken. That is up untill he passes by a monitor. He stops dead in his tracks, and Ross Bobby runs right into him and finds himself ass end on the concrete floor. Storm looks down at Ross in disgust, and then steps back over to the monitor, and watches the screen as Reina Saiaki gets to her feet and fumbles with the box he had given her. Ross pulls himself up, and reviews Storm's expression as his smile grows with every second she fiddles with the package. She pulls the cover off of the box, as the camera gets a close up view of a Black Rose set upon a red velvet pillow. The excitement sets in as her face grows surprised and then enraged. He nods as if an unseen accomplishment has been fulfilled. He starts to continue on to the exit, but the presence of Nikki Silver catches his eye. He watches on as Reina trys to get by him, but he acts as a road block, before holding his mic up to his lips.::
President Silver: Hold on there sister! I know you're in a big rush...being the new Gladiator Champion and all...You got fan's to meet and chicks to eat!
::Ross watches on as Storm's jaw drops, and then he begins to laugh at the comment. He nods, and points to the screen.::
Mr. Fantastic: I think I'm begining to like that guy!
President Silver: There's the matter of President Ali and one GWA referee getting their asses whipped by you tonight. The Ali thing....I can live with....but I can't let the referee thing just slide! AS OF NOW....I'M DECLAREING THE GLADIATOR TITLE VACANT!!! You earned your shot Reina...but I can't let anyone in this federation go above the law! That goes for you as well as everyone else in the GWA! If you want the title back, perhaps I'll make sure you get a shot at the PPV....then again...who knows?
::Storm's eyes light up at the mention of the Gladiator Title being vacant, and he nods to Ross Bobby who stands in stupification of what is going on through his mind.::
Mr. Fantastic: There is no question about it Ross....I deffinently like him!
::Storm watches on as Reina hesitates for a moment, but then finally drops the belt at Silver's feet. Upon watching her power walk past him, Storm assumes a more serious look on his face, and starts back on his original destination followed by Bobby & the cameraman. Upon arriveing in the Parking Lot, Storm finds the Silver Stretch Limo from earlier on in the night awaiting his word for escape. Storm climbs into the back of the limo after the driver pulls the door open. Ross Bobby stops short of entering the limo, thinking better of it from past experiences with Storm Interviews. He stands in silence untill a vioce piereces the darkness inside the limo.::
Mr. Fantastic: Well are you going to just stand there Ross...or are you going to boost the ratings of the GWA?
:: Ross Bobby can't help but allow a smile at the comment for the mere fact that it is probably true, although he would never tell Storm that to boost his confidance anymore than it already is. Ross hops into the limo, and takes a seat across from Storm, and is followed by the cameraman. The door closes shutting out the lights of the parking lot, and the drivers door can be heard opening and closeing. The limo slowly begins to move, and pulls out onto the exit ramp leading to the expressway. Storm leans back in his leather covered seat, and offers the men a drink from the bar....however they decline, and Ross Bobby looks into the camera ready for work.::
Ross Bobby: Hello GWA fans, this is Ross Bobby here with "Mr. Fantastic" Johnny Storm, who has just made his reappearance to GWA TV! And what a reappearance it was...not only did he enter the ring and strike Mei Himagaji who was already beaten down by the challenger, but he struck the newly crowned Gladiator Champion, who also in the same night....was stripped of that title...."The Black Rose" Reina Saiaki! Johnny Storm, for starters, why in the hell would you go after those two women who relatively have nothing to do with you? What is your motivation?
Mr. Fantastic: (Storm gives a sneer to Ross' question, and then turns to the camera paying him no mind.) Motivation? You have the guts to ask me what was my Motivation. Well first off I'm "Mr. Fantastic" Johnny Storm, and that is motivation enough for me to do anything I want too! But I don't think thats what you want to hear, so lets get down to specifics. I'll even number them for you! Number one Reason....back in the SWA, Reina Saiaki was really good at sneak attacks, but not once did she ever face me in a match. Not because I did'nt want it, cause she did'nt want it! She ducked me, and now that I'm back here in the GWA, She isn't going to have the oppurtunity to walk away from me again! Number Two Reason....Reina Saiaki & Mei Himagaji are what we call Step ups. They wait for a federation to get big off of other people's hard eranred work, and they come in here acting like they own the place. I don't think so! This is the Federation that Fantastic Built, along with the other guys that have helped make a name for themselves. We put in hard time, and hard effort to build this Utopia of Superstars, and they think they can walk all over us. Not on my watch, not in my fed! Number Three Reason......Both of those women were carrying around a belt that was not their property! Before my unpredicted absence, I was the #1 Contendor for the Gladiator Title! When Chris Damm was stripped of the title for not being able to defend it, the Gold would have automatically fell around my waist! They even had to change the card of the PPV because of our absences! Now, when I come back, I find out that there are a bunch of little Strykers...Roses...and Mei's running aruond my fed. What the hell has Steven Fury been up to while I've been gone? Does he have his head up his own a$$, or the a$$ of the Blow Job Queen, MJ Francis. Number Four Reason and my favorite of all.....I just wanted to see Reina Saiaki and Mei Himagaji down on there backs where they looke their best!
But you know what Ross, scratch all that off the record. All but the last comment...I actually kind of liked that one(smiles sarcasticlly to the camera). But I was recently put in a situation that allowed me the time to think about my role in the GWA before I left. Steven Fury called me one night after I had retired the first time, when the SWA went out of buisness, and asked me if I would consider joining up in his fed. The Gladiator Wrestling Association. I did'nt think much more about it, untill I saw one man step through the curtain on Television. A man who had faced both Strykers.....Reina Saiaki....Mei Himagaji....and the other tuck tale and run bastards of the SWA! I don't feel a reason to mention his name cause you know who I'm talking about, and this premeditated attack of mind has nothing to do with him! But I will offer this bit of information before it comes up in your next question seggment.....I was'nt behind your attack Chris....because If I was the one pulling the trigger....I would'nt have took you out of wrestling....I would have took you out of life. Now back to the point...I thought if I faced this man, it would be in some way like faceing those that he had faced. The end result was a great fued that will live on in the hearts of loyal GWA Fans. It did not have the effect that I desired, so we have went our seperate ways.
The point that I am trying to make is that The Past is the Past. What I've said and done is over. The reasons I gave behind this attack are over. No way to erase, no way to change. However, there was a motivation. There was a reason behind this attack. Those two women had something I wanted. Something that I still desire for. The Gladiator Championship. And now that Nikki Silver has made this title vacant, this attack has served my purposes even better than I could have imagined. So Silver if your watching...this goes out to you. Do what you gotta do. Put me in your main event at the PPV, and throw Reina Saiaki in the other corner. Hold the Gladiator Championship over our heads....and watch as I destroy one of your competitors, and replace her as the best of the best!
Now Reina...this goes to you, and you alone. Mei Himagaji just happened to be on our playing field when the attack happened. It was meant for you...make no mistake. And I proved what I needed to prove to the wrestling world tonight. I did what I set out to do! I put the woman down.....and I brought out the Black Rose. You can deny me, You can accept me....but at that moment, when you opened the box, and realized who had struck you down...I knew that I was in control. Watch the tape...look at your own expression. It tells the story all to well.
Now get that damn camera right here on my eyes so that she can see that I'm through playing. (Storm glares into the camera as it closes up on his eyes.) You can send the woman Reina Saiaki......you can send the demon "Black Rose"....Hell, you can even send the God Damn Girl Scout Squad if you want...but rest assured, when you step into the ring with me....all the jokes, all the talk, is going to end there...and I will destroy your body, and break your bones to take possesion of my property. Because right now it is a game.......step in the ring...and it becomes reality. Now get the hell out of here Ross, I need to be alone! DRIVER, STOP THE CAR!
::Ross Bobby's mouth drops in astonishment as the limo slowly pulls off to the side of the expressway. Not to long after that, the very back door opens, and the drivers stands ready to escort the two men out of the limo. The Cameraman steps out reluctantly, as Ross Bobby sits glued to his seat in protest. Johnny Storm eyes him, as he starts his speech of rights and wrongs.::
Ross Bobby: Listen, you can't leave us out here! We have a plane to catch! I...I left my Cell Phone back at the arena!
Mr. Fantastic: Now Ross....Who's fault is that!
::Ross begins to say something else, but is jerked up by his collar instead, and shoved to the concrete outside. Bobby turns over and watches on as Storm's sarcastic smile disappears behind the closeing door of the limo. The Driver then steps back around to the drivers seat, and the limo resumes it's coarse to the Air Port. Ross bobby looks hatefully to the cameraman who had abandoned him, and then throws his thumb out at an on passing car. The car whizzes by without so much as a honk, throwing up a trail of mud that finds itself upon Ross Bobby's pant leg. Ross turns to the cameraman, and points sharply in the direction of the Fleet Center, and walks silently along the side of the road. The Cameraman follows laggingly, and not a word is spoken.::

STORM'S PRIVATE JET
IN FLIGHT: 1:45a.m.
DESTINATION ATLANTA, GA
::Storm was napping when the fax came through. His private Jet was scheduled to set down in Atlanta, GA around three in the morning, and he was already over half way there. The machines noise awoke him, and he sat up on the couch lineing the wall on one side of the plane. On the other an office like atmosphere, along with a few luxurys not allowed on other planes. Storm stumbles up to his feet hitting a button on a side panel causeing the room to fill with light. He squints his eyes, and rubs away the crustations formed from his nap. He steps over to the desk, and looks to the fax. He pulls the piece of paper out of the tray, and sits down in a leather roller chair. He reads over the list of matches, and when he reaches the end, his eyes grow more aware of his surroundings. He places the paper on the table, and pulls a bottle of Southern Comfort out of his cabnet. He then takes a long swig from the bottle, and then returns it to the cabnet it came from. He turns back to the paper lieing on the desk, and reads over the last couple of lines just to make sure that what he had read was not a mis print.::
**A four way. I ask for Reina Saiaki and they give me two more opponents. Who's idea was this? I bet I know.....Steven Fury! That asshole. He probably got his panties in a twist when he heard what I called MJ Francis earlier. Oh well...what do I care. It's just two women that I took out tonig.....**
::Storm breaks his thoughts by looking to a clock in the corner. 1:48. He then resumes to his thoughts.::
**Two women I took out LAST night. It's only Chris Damm, the one guy who's ever made me feel alive when standing in that ring beating the shit out of him. Why is it that I don't like this though....and what the hell is up with a Battle Royal. Oh well, I hope this does'nt make them think that things have changed any. I'm still going to become the Gladiator Title holder, and I am still going to show them why "I have the most Fantastic body, the Most Fantastic face, and I'll soon have Fantastic Gold, around my Fantastic waist!" Ha! That sounds corney when I say it to myself...oh well. It's all nothing but a draw anyways. Bait for the weak minded. They think because I give myself these silly names that I actually believe them. That's just pathetic. I'ld need to go to a looney bin if I really started believeing it. However, it appears that some people have forgotten that "Mr. Fantastic", "The Black Rose", Chris Damm, Mei Himagaji are all just characters. Granted we are very alive...we are very serious about some of the things we say, but I make money off of my name. That's the point. I saw Chris Damm's last promo...just before he went on to face Reina in an Iron Match, and he actually had the audacity to act as if this was all for nothing. Chris Damm may have came into the buisness for money, but he knows just as well as I do that when he walks away, it will be the hardest thing for him to do. He loves getting in front of a camera just as much as I do. However, it is his character's role to loathe it. It all works fine in the grande scheme of it all.....when we all do our battle of wits. But he knows.....that only those who are weak of mind would bite onto a line of bullshit like that. "This match is about nothing!" What a F*cking joke! He wanted a piece of Reina ever since the Pit of Survival match, just to prove he could beat her. However, it did'nt work like that did it Chris. You still did'nt prove a God Damn thing.....your still at a stand still. You still want her don't you....but I bet you want Alexis back more. Hahaha! I bet he thinks that it's his own little secret..how he pushed her out of his life, how he's screwed himself by letting this thirst for his attackers blood take over him. Eat away at him like a cancer untill he really is dellusional enough to believe that he is in it for the money. He's right on one count though..it's not to become a legend. I mean if that happens in the mean time along side your goals, what's so wrong with that. He's right, we are meal-tickets....but you see, he's so blind to what he's saying, that he does'nt realize that he's doing exactly what he says he isn't. He's a hypocrite. He's sitting there building his self esteem in his own mind by saying that somewhere along the way he forgot what this is all about because he was blinded by what people told him. His problem is just that, he listens to the people. He's got it in his mind that he's the single most important entity in this buisness, and then has the gaul to sit on camera, and say "This match is about nothing." Well, it was about nothing, cause it proved nothing. No winner, no loser...what was the point. Now....Now was his chance, and will this hatred that fuels him be enough to destroy Saiaki? This is now getting more interesting by the minuete. These three have hatred for each other...and I'm doing it cause I love it! HA! Reina hates Mei cause she would'nt let her munch on her carpet, and married her nemesis Ryken! Reina hates Damm for the same reason he hates her. Sadly enough, the three of them are slowly becomeing my best friends. The friends you know you can go to, and they will never refuse you. Not once. All it takes is a good shot to the skull with the Gladiator Belt...and sometimes not even that. Just a few goading comments, and they are ready to go at it tooth and nail. Now that is commitment. That is loyalty! What better friends could I have?
::Johnny Storm smiles to himself, and thinks..."You know what....I really am corney now..." He chuckles in under his own breath, as he starts back over to the couch. He falls backwards with a thump on the coushins, and closes his eyes for one more hour of sleep before he arrived in atlanta.::
MARCH 22nd, 2001
THE OMNI HOTEL
PENTHOUSE SUITE: 10:00a.m.
ATLANTA, GA
::Johnny Storm arrived in Atlanta, and was driven in a limo straight to the Omni. Storm arrived there at 4 in the morning, and was expecting a quiet morning, and a warm bed awaiting him on the Penthouse level. What he found was about 1,000 fans screaming and going nuts who had traveled from all over the south to come and see the GWA Superstars. He steps out of the limo unawares, and is swarmed by them. Security tries to help him to the elevator, but he finally gives in, and the line forms for his autograph. By the time it was over, 10 a.m. had snuck up on him, and he was ready to hit the sheets. He stumbles into the elevator, and leans against the railing, and closes his eyes for a moment. He feels something nudge his arm, and he does'nt think anything about it. Another nudge..he cracks his eye, and looked over and see's no one. His eyes close once again, takeing in the quiet of the ride. Finally a tug comes to his hand, and this time his eyes come completely open. He looks down, and there tugging on his arm was a little girl looking back up at him. She smiles sweetly, and Storm shakes his head in disbelief. He starts to turn away, but then stops short. He turns to the little girl, who now reaches for him to take her into his arms. He shakes his head once again, and lifts the girl up much to her amusement. She laughs, and then takes hold of his kneck hugging him. Storm's eyes open wide, not expecting this from the child. Not sure how to react, he pats her on the back, and she finally relenquishes her grip of his kneck, and sits back on his chest looking at him.::
Mr. Fantastic: Can you tell me your name sweetheart?
Little Girl: Tamra...
Mr. Fantastic: (Storm raises his eybrow as if he wants a full name, but finally settles for Tamra)So...can you tell me how old you are?
Little Girl: ........
Mr. Fantastic: OooKayyy! Can you count on your fingers how old you are?
Little Girl: (she smiles sweetly again, and holds up four fingers.)
Mr. Fantastic: Wow! You're a smart girl are'nt ya. So where is your mommy?
Little Girl: (She shakes her head back and forth)
Mr. Fantastic: You don't know? It's dangerous for you to leave mommy's side. Well.....(Storm looks up at the dial of what floor he's on, and he see's that he's close to his Penthouse.) I guess I'll just take you with me, and call the front desk. I bet a sweety like you has a mom worried.
::She giggles as the elevator ascends untill finally stopping on the final floor. He walks into the room and a GWA agent is waiting there to discuss some of the final contract signings dealing with the Main Event at Vendetta. Upon seeing the child his mouth drops, and begins to say something to Storm. Johnny warns him with his eyes, as he sets the toddler down on the couch. He then turns, and discusses the contract for a few moments, and Storm signs where he has to. The agent leaves upon Storm's request, and Storm looks back to the little girl who is lleaning against the side coushin of the couch hideing her face. She then pops up abruptly.::
Tamra: Peak Boo! hee hee hee!
::Storm smiles and starts unpacking his travel bag at the bar seperating the Kitchen from the living room. She smiles and points at a Johnny Storm T-shirt he throws to the side. He looks to it, then Tamra, and flings it over to her. The shirt engulfs her as it lands, and her giggles can be heard in under it as she falls back onto the couch. He continues unpacking, and then calls down stairs to the front office. The mother apparantly already there, was on her way up as soon as the call was over. He stands at the door waiting, and somehow Tamra had found her way into the shirt, that still engulfed the rest of her body. He smiles at her, and even chuckles a bit to himself, untill finally the elevator door opens, and Storm finds himself looking up and down at the leggy woman who steps off of the elevator. She runs to her child scooping her up in her arms, smothering her with kisses. She then quickly admonishes the girl for leaving her side. She looks to Storm and thanks him for his kindness, and then asks him for an autograph. Storm signs the shirt the girl is now dragging across the floor, and a picture he had with him. He then helped them to the elevator doors. The mother clung tightly to the child now, and she had eyes only for Storm. Johnny smiled at the girl, and stared at her for long moments as the elevator slowly creeped up to the top of the floor. Storm had seen eyes like this girls before....but who? Then it hit him......Mei Himagaji! Storm's mind shoots to the evil side, and he escorts the two disturbances into the elevator, and then heads back into the sitting room. He had an idea now...and idea pertaining to all the participants of the matchup takeing place at the PPV. It would be interesting to see how exactly they would relate to it. Storm smuggly starts towards the bedroom, where he falls down into Unconsciousness.
He awakens some time letter, and takes a long needed hot shower. He then gets into some more comfortable street clothes and starts towards the door. He walks the streets for a couple of hours before stopping in at a Wal-mart discount store, and buys certain supplies for his little experiment. He then returns to his penthouse suite, where he makes several phone calls, includeing the phone call to Howard Plather about an interview for later on in the day. The mood was set, the timeing was perfect, and now, Storm was ready to address the world.::
