We open back up to Corey Black and Nikki Venus inside Corey's car, traveling down a four lane highway. Corey has his CD player on, playing Machine Head's latest album "The Blackening."
Nikki Venus: Where the hell are we going?
Corey Black: Well, Rick Mad kinda got me thinking. He's going to his past to train and crap ... why can't I?
Nikki Venus: Because you've been active the past four years and you don't need it?
Corey Black: Oh. Uh. Yeah, you're right. I don't need to stoop to nonsensical shit to try to get a leg up. Touche, my good lady.
Nikki smiles at Corey. Music comes over the CD player, a cell phone ringtone. Corey scrambles for his phone in his pocket and snatches it. He looks at the caller ID and turns his head a bit.
Corey Black: Why the fuck?
Corey slides his phone up and answers the call.
Corey Black: What?
Voice (speakerphone): Mister Black, now, is it? I remember you as Volz. I've been wanting to get a hold of you for a while now.
Corey Black: Do tell me why.
Voice: We have unfinished business.
Corey Black: Look, I'm sorry it had to end the way it did, but I really couldn't have done it any other way.
Voice: You've gotten away with murder TWICE now.
Nikki Venus: Corey, who is that?
Corey Black: Nobody, Nikki.
Voice: You'll get yours soon, Corey. I brought back an old friend once before, and I can sure as fuck do it again.
Corey hangs up on the person, throwing his phone in the backseat. Corey whips his car to the right and to an offramp, coming to a stop at a rest stop.
Nikki Venus: Corey...
Corey Black: No, no don't worry about it. It's been teased before and didn't happen, and it won't happen this time. Plus, we already have a snowman.
Corey lifts his door up and exits his 300c. Nikki does the same and they walk into the rest stop, and up to a giant map of Iowa. Corey looks at it for a split second before heading over to a soda machine and placing some quarters in it.
Nikki Venus: So, we actually were going to see your trainer, weren't we?
Corey Black: Yeah, we were. I have a better idea now. It's going to take a lot, though. And you can't be with me.
Nikki Venus: I understand, I guess.
Corey pushes the Mountain Dew button, and the bottle pops out the bottom of the machine. He cracks it open and takes a drink before taking Nikki's hand and leading her back to the car. The two get in the car, and allow the cameraman to get into the back seat. Corey starts it up and heads back on the road.
Corey Black: You know something I don't understand, is the fact that the entire tournament is people that hate me. The only people to take advantage of my generosity are assholes.
Nikki Venus: Isn't that good, though?
Corey Black: That's my point. I don't have to destroy anyone I like OR respect. There's even three people that nobody knows. Wilson, Daniels, and Johnny Vice.
Nikki Venus: JOHNNY CRAVEN! Wait, isn't there a mystery entrant?
Corey Black: Oh, yeah, that. Boone got hurt or whatever on Slam, Chino took his place, and then quit. All in about five minutes. It's obvious Chino is a complete pussy and all the weed in the world couldn't calm his nerves. He'll be there, though.
Nikki Venus: What?
Corey Black: Chino signed up late, probably on purpose, then got his chance, and goddamnit, he's going to participate.
Nikki Venus: I don't think you can force people to compete.
Corey Black: I can do whatever the fuck I want. This is WCF, not GWC, Hardaway.
Nikki Venus: I'm not Kevin Hardaway.
Corey Black: Well you're sounding like him. And in retrospect, that's kinda creepy.
Nikki Venus: ... I'm sorry?
Corey unscrews his Mountain Dew and takes a long drink, not once taking his eyes off Nikki. He stops drinking and puts his eyes back on the road.
Corey Black: It's ok.
Nikki punches Corey in the arm, for what seems like the thirtieth time.
Nikki Venus: Stop that!
Corey pulls off the road and onto a side street, then quickly into a driveway.
Corey Black: This is where you're gonna stay while I do my thing.
Nikki Venus: Wait wait wait ... isn't this Nick Woo's house?
Corey Black: ... yeah, it is.
Nikki Venus: OH GOD DAMNIT.
Corey Black: I'M SORRY! He's the only one around anymore. Everybody else is wrestling in Japan!
Nikki Venus: Fucking hell. Fine. Just hurry up. Woo is not only annoying, but a giant pervert too.
Corey Black: I know, I know. I'll try.
Nikki lifts the door and exits, closing it behind her. Corey waves and takes off in reverse, as the scene fades out.
