(Conrad stands alone in the middle of the empty floor of what looks to be a dojo. He is wearing his black glove and kilt, practicing sword Kata with a wooden sword. He moves through the fluid sweeping, slashing motions with tremendous grace, power and speed.
A loud clack could be heard as Conrad turns and his sword suddenly strikes the wood of another practice sword. Standing in front of him is a man in full practice armor and his own wooden sword griped in two hands. Though the mesh face covering of the helm the new opponent is wearing, you can see a faint thin smile on his lips.)
Man: (with a muffled voice) Always practicing? I expect that is how you became the best.
(Conrad the strikes at the sword and nods) Conrad: I’m not the best, just better than most.
(The mans smile fades and he attacks, pressing Conrad, and driving him back with a slashing assault that forces Conrad fall back into a roll to dodge. Upon completing the backward roll he then lunges under the swing blade and hits the man square in the chest plate of his armor. Both men then fall back into a ready stand. Conrad then starts his attack on the man)
Man: Everything... all right?
(Conrad breathlessly speaks as he presses his advantage.) Of Course... Why do you ask?
Man: You just seem to have a lot on your mind.
Conrad: Well I do, I mean this week I have my match with ACE and then The Sick Individuals have a title shot at the PPV against Ace/Biggs and Devastation, Inc.
Man:Well I suggest you just worry about Ace for now. I mean he seems to be one of the top wrestlers in the Fed, and he is surely favored over you.
(Just then the man disarms Conrad, but Conrad still is able to dodge his attacks. Suddenly the man attacks with a slash from left to right with both hands, and Conrad grabs the mans wrists and steps into him wrenching the sword from his grasp as Conrad spins around him. Conrad brings the sword up to the man’s neck.)
Conrad: I think you are right about that.
(As Conrad drops the sword, the man tries to punch Conrad, but he gets thrown over Conrad's shoulder and Conrad locks into the Hand of Glory. The man taps out quickly. He then removes his helm to increase the air intake. To reveal that he was the long blond haired man in the blue and white tartan playing drunken Uno with the rest of the gang at the slathered lamb pub.)
Man: I must say you seem to be prepared, but Ace is still a part of TOT
(Both men stand and face each other and circle looking for an advantage)
Conrad: Yeah, but I’ve been looking up his past matches. I don't think he ever won anything that was not a tag match where his partner carried him though it. I could be wrong. I could only find a few matches in the history.
Man: Oh really.
(Both men throw a few kicks and punches, neither get the better of each other...)
Conrad: Yeah I was shocked too. All those long winded Interviews about who knows what. I thought he would have at least done something.
Man: I don't think you have much to worry about though. You have come in and backed up most of the claims you have made.
Conrad: Most?
(The man then catches Conrad off guard and takes him down with a double leg take down. The man then starts punching him from a mounted position as Conrad puts both arms up to block.)
Man: Well you did say The Sick Individuals were going to be the number one contenders.
(Conrad gets a hold of one of the punches and tries to lock the Hand of glory again, but this time the man slips out of his grip and backs off. Both men again return to their feet.)
Conrad: Yes I did say that, and though we may not be the number one contenders we did "weasel" our way into the tag match at School of Pain., which a load of shit as well. We are the best tag team here, and hell, we are the best singles wrestlers as well. In time that will be proven. Our skill alone should put us in that match. But I'm not going to complain. We are getting the shot. (The man then attacks with a fury of punches that Conrad blocks with ease. Conrad then does a drop toe hold which he follows though into a STF.) As I was saying, we didn't get pinned in that triple threat match, which means we didn't get beat.
(After letting go of the STF, Conrad then sidesteps an attempt at a spear, and catches the man in a gutwrench suplex.)
Man: (gasping for air) yes, but first you have to deal with Ace, and I am sure that it will be a massacre.
(As the man stands back up Conrad kicks him in the gut and hits him with the Quick Drop with a sudden stop. The opponent's body then goes limp and Conrad checks his pulse.)
Conrad: I think you maybe right about that.
(Shanon enters the dojo) Conrad it's time to go, we have things to do. (Looking down at the man on the ground in front of Conrad) Is he going to be alright?
Conrad: Yes, but I do not envy the headache he will have when he wakes.
(Both Shanon and Conrad leave the dojo with the man still lying on the floor.)
