It took all of about 30 minutes for Night Rider to forget about the craziness that was 'One'. Long enough for him to get home and have a nice tall Jack and Coke beside the pool. It was then that his phone rang with a familiar voice on the other end.
Angel Fyre: I hope your in a better mood! I have a little news for you and I don't know if your going to like it or now.
Night Rider: Oh boy, What now?
Angel Fyre: You have a Tag-Team match coming up.
Night Rider: Really? Speede really works quick huh?
Angel Fyre: No, It's not like that at all. You see, Speede decided he was going to team with his old tag partner.
Night Rider: What? Then who am I teaming with? I'm not teaming with NvL again am I?
Angel Fyre: No, Actually your teaming with Jeff Purse!
Night Rider: Jeff Purse! What the hell were they thinking, Knowing we don't even like each other.
Angel Fyre: Wait, Think about it. The guy compliments you perfectly. His speed and your power would be an unbeatable combination. Now the good news. It's for the Tag Team Titles!
Night Rider: Well then! You are right. We could work well together. I could put whatever problems we had behind us. I mean, Everything's been business. The guy is pretty damn good! This will be interesting. Who are we going against?
Angel Fyre: You will be going against the Redneck Express and Roy Speede and Mr. FPV.
Night Rider: Seth sure knows how to schedule them doesn't he! Awesome, Get ahold of JP and set up an interview time. This is going to be interesting, Very interesting!
Angel Fyre: I will get on that right away. I'll call you back as soon as I have more info.
Night Rider hung up the phone and thought to himself for a minute. He and Purse definitely know each other well in the ring and would have no problem gelling together as a team. Sure, Their opponents were former tag champs who never lost the belts. They are going to be out to prove that they deserve the titles back. The Redneck express are a couple of hot tempered hillbillies who are used to fighting. Yes, It would be a very interesting night to say the least! It didn't matter, Those belts were as good as theirs.
Night Rider stared off into the distance, His thoughts racing over the events of the past few days. It was strange the way things worked out sometimes. He stood up and headed through the sliding glass doors on the patio and into his den. Here is where he did the non physical portion of his preparation for his matches. He sat down at his computer desk and moved his mouse to bring the screen to life. He navigated to the WCF website and noticed the card for the upcoming slam event. He moved his mouse over the names of his opponents and clicked on each one. So FPV is Frank Venable, He held the tag titles along with Roy Speede until they were vacated in September of last year. Not long before Night Rider joined the company. He jotted down a few notes and moved on to check on the Redneck Express. He was doing this when the phone rang again. He picked it up on the third ring.
Night Rider: Yeah, What's up?
Angel Fyre: Everything is a go! We have a face to face set up with Kari and Jeff Purse this evening at six. You know the old Family restaurant on the outskirts of town? That is where the meeting will take place. Six pm, And try NOT to be late this time.
Angel Fyre hung up the phone and Night Rider returned to his research. Try not to be late. Shit, This was important. Does she think he would actually be late at a time like this? Too much was on the line here. He would be there alright.
THE MEETING
The parking lot was nearly empty when they arrived. he had stopped and picked up Angel Fyre on the way. As they entered the restaurant they noticed Jeff Purse and Kari sitting at a table in the back where they would have plenty of privacy. There were very few customers around, Save for an old man sitting at the counter drinking coffee. Night Rider and Angel Fyre walked back to join them. They exchanged greetings and sat down opposite Jeff and Kari as Angel Fyre began to speak.
Angel Fyre: I'm glad the two of you showed up and agreed to this meeting. It's a start. What could be the start of something really big! I know that the two of you have some issues with each other and that's fine. You don't have to like each other to be able to team together and be successful. Many tag teams in the past were forged by enemies united for a single goal. That goal in this case is the WCF Tag Team Championship. Now, Is that enough for the two of you to put your differences aside?
Jeff Purse got up from his chair and walked over to a window where three plants sat on a table in front of it. He arranged the plants so that the two larger ones were on the ends and the smaller one was in the center. After doing so he walked back over to the table and began to speak himself.
Jeff Purse:(looking at Night Rider) It's no secret that I don't like you. It's really nothing personal, I just don't like you. Your like this crazy cartoon character and it bugs the hell out of me! That being said, As long as I can count on you to do your part and hold up your end of the bargain. I have no problem teaming up with you. How do I know I can trust you? How do I know that you won't turn on me?
Night Rider: Those feelings are mutual, That's agreed. Especially after the hell we put each other through last night. But what the hell man, My problem wasn't with you to begin with. Sure, We had our history from that other organization but that was just business. You beat me fair and square there and I even congratulated you on your win. I have no problem teaming with you either. But, Like you, How do I know that you won't turn on me?
Angel Fyre pulls a manilla folder out of the briefcase she had with her and put a sheet of paper in front of Jeff Purse and Night Rider.
Angel Fyre: I have the solution right here. This is a Peace Treaty so to speak. It states that whichever one of you that turns on the other will be fined 10,000 dollars and it also states that if you do win the titles that whoever turns on the other will also forfeit all rights to said titles. If you both would sign the papers in front of you we will make this legal! Is it agreed?
Night Rider signed his paper after proofreading it and Handed it back to Angel Fyre. Jeff Purse did the same and the four of them shook hands.
Kari: This is so exciting! I can hardly wait to see what happens. Now though Jeff and I need to get going. We have a few things to take care of ourselves. We will be back in touch tomorrow.
And with that a new tag team was born.
THE SHIT
Night Rider awoke the next day full of energy. He hit the gym early and then decided he would go for a 5 mile run just to stretch his legs out a little bit. After that he did a photo opp and had lunch with Angel Fyre. He still didn't really feel like heading home so he decided to give Jeff Purse a call on the phone. It rang twice and he answered it.
Jeff Purse: Yeah, What's up?
Night Rider: Hey dude, I was just kinda bored and full of energy so I thought I would call and see if you felt like having a drink and shooting some pool?
Jeff Purse: I don't know, I'm not sure about that.
Night Rider: Come on man, We are going to have to get along sometime or at least be sociable. Besides, It'll do the team some good to be seen out in public together. Our opponents will think we are getting along better than we are.
Jeff Purse: You do have a point there. Okay, Where at?
Night Rider: How about Ernies Billiards over on Main and Belmont? I can even have Angel Fyre show up and we can do a Promo at the same time.
Jeff Purse: Sounds good, Make it in about an hour.
After hanging up the phone Night Rider made another phone call.
Night Rider: Ernie, This is Night Rider. How has business been going? That slow huh? Maybe I can help you out a little bit. I want to rent out the place. Keep the table in the back clear and I will cover everything. Yeah, Put the usual sign out. See ya in an hour.
Ernies' was once one of the more popular places in town until. The downturn of the economy left people with less money to spend on entertainment. With six pool tables and 4 dart boards, Not to mention the many poker and video games scattered throughout the place. There was also a full bar and a stage on either side of the tables. During good times many of the local bands would showcase their talents here. Those were some pretty good times and everyone who was anyone in town knew about it. Now it was just a mere shell of it's former self. Customers were few and far between. Night Rider was in the back shooting around on the table. Angel Fyre had her equipment set up and was ready to film when Jeff Purse and Kari walked in the door. Angel Fyre put the camera on auto and then left with Kari while Night Rider and Jeff Purse sat down at the table next to the pool table. A waitress brought them their drinks and left.
Night Rider: Alright man, The camera is rolling. I'm going to start this thing off right. Roy Speede and FPV, You are the past! Your glory days of being tag team champions are over! You see, The two of us don't like each other very much but we dislike the two of you even more! Your nothing but a couple of used to be's who want to recapture their glory! It's not going to happen, Not this time!
Jeff Purse: The two of you are pathetic! Your lousy, Filthy, And disgusting! Your slower than my grandma and she's 65. Hell, I can run circles around the two of you! And you Speede, You act like your big shit! So you held the tag team titles with two different people. Who cares! That also means that you had to lose them at one time! That shows that you aren't as wonderful as you think you are! How about that!
Night Rider: So Mr. Wonderful isn't so wonderful after all is he? You may have made the biggest mistake of your life Speede. You should have stuck with me as your partner. Instead you will be the one feeling my wrath! I am too big, Too Strong, And too quick to be done in by you, FPV, Or The so called Redneck express! My partner and I are just too good for any of you!
Jeff Purse: Redneck Express, Your quest for the tag team titles is about to be Derailed! You see, Neither one of you are any good in that ring! I've seen your work and to be honest with you, You SUCK! You are a couple of uncoordinated, Clumsy, And worthless inbred hicks and the biggest mistake the two of you made was agreeing to wrestle in the first place!
Night Rider: Your right there, Those two are so clumsy we won't have to touch them. They will take each other out tripping over the ropes on their way in the ring! Come on, keep it real! Do the two of you rednecks actually think that you stand a chance against this? Oh yeah, I guess your dumber than I think you are! I almost feel sorry for all four of you! Speede, FPV, Which actually stands for Fucking Paranoid Vegetable! You'll be a vegetable by the time we get done with you! You should have stayed gone boy! It's a whole different show now. Step on up and see how quick we knock you right back down!
Jeff Purse: You see, We aren't your average Tag team here! We're kind of an evil combination here. We are both a couple of crazy, Hot headed, Mean SOB's.
Night Rider: That's good! Your right we are kind of an Unholy Alliance. A pair of Psychos joined by a single goal. Ladies and Gentlemen, Say hello to The Unholy Alliance, Jeff Purse and The Night Rider!
The screen fades to black as Night Rider and Jeff Purse begin shooting a game of pool.
Angel Fyre: I hope your in a better mood! I have a little news for you and I don't know if your going to like it or now.
Night Rider: Oh boy, What now?
Angel Fyre: You have a Tag-Team match coming up.
