The scene opens up on a lavish mansion. Three stories, a pool, beautiful garden, the estate is the definition of excess. The camera comes up the front walk, and out of the front door comes Noah Fox, one of the newest talents in UKWF. He motions around him as the camera pans.

"Impressive, no? I bought it with some of the extra money I had lying around after my most recent business deal. It still needs some work, but I think it has some real... potential.

Noah looks at the camera as if everyone is in on his joke. After several moments of suspense, Noah finally let's us in.

"Yes, potential, just like the UKWF. You know, as I squandered around America, looking for something more, I heard about this company and how much it had to offer me. But, now that I'm here, I'm a little underwhelmed. I'm hardly seeing anyone who is worth my time or effort. A bunch of washed up wannabes? OK, I could've stayed in the states and found that, but I'm game, I guess. You see, the things about Fox's, both the animal and the family, is that we never just lay down. Have you ever seen a fox hunting? It's always ready, always waiting, for that perfect...moment.

"And you see, UKWF, my moment is now. This company, it cries out for a moral savior, a superhero. And that, UKWF, is me. You see, I am a light in the darkness of the world today. While so many others are content with their meaningless lives, I strive for more. I am the true role model that everyone needs. Ages 1-100 can learn from Noah Fox, UKWF, and class begins this Sunday. It all starts with Ms. Halter. She'll be the first to understand that you can step into the ring with greatness, but you can never match it. It's the Year of the Fox, UKWF, and it's time for me to take my place at the front of UKWF!

"Now, if you'll excuse me, my masseuse should be arriving any minute. Don't want to get too tight, something I'm sure Ms. Halter never has a problem with!"

Noah shoots a quick wink before chuckling a bit and walking inside. The camera shuts off.

With foxes we must play the fox.

Outsmart those who believe we are beneath them. How do you defeat such an intelligent animal? With enough fire and smoke, Noah Fox, you can kill just about anything. No God, superhero or great animal can live through certain traumas. You say you are a cure for UKWF? You think yourself above everyone on this roster? That's where you've show how truly ignorant you are! A pot calling the kettle black. There are men like you everywhere! Entitled, greedy, silver spoons oozing acid and yet you think yourself different! How dare you belittle me without knowing a single thing about who you are facing. You think I care about your fancy words? You're process of 'changing' UKWF' for the better? That is for everyone to burn you down with. I... simply want to win this match. I'm going to give you a Nice Resting Place for this very first introduction. I don't give a damn where you wish to go after this match... While you are in the ring with me? You lose.  

I don't wrestle to treat others like garbage, build myself up in ivory, or any other nonsense... I wrestle because... I need to. It's not difficult to understand if you find yourself in love with this sport for the right reasons. No one can tell me what they are. Some people fight for ego.... violence... I do it to be able to breathe again. Feed a hunger deep within my soul that nothing else can rid aside from climbing between those ropes. No agendas. Simply to do. For me, wrestling, training, is essential for being able to live... No one has to understand it.   

Normally, I have no opinion of my opponents. They are complete strangers, blank slates, but Noah spoke first. He warped things, tried to convince me he was better than I could ever be; as they always do. Regardless, Noah is like anyone else I step into the ring with because winning will be unbiased... There is no amount of fear that can be instilled now. In this moment, I have what I've wanted for several months. Perhaps I should spend more time beating Noah's character into the ground... but I won't. Right now, I want to get into the ring to wrestle. It doesn't matter if he were a veteran or a rookie... we all start on even ground when entering into a company. That concept alone doesn't make sense but that is how this business works. 

No, I won't bother grinding Noah verbally... admit it or not... None of his words will stick after this match is over. They won't ring like a dread bell over a period of time. They'll fade. Slip from my ear like a random saying in a mild conversation overheard from a distance...There is no more to say. I Just want my abilities to say the rest for me inside the square circle before it's taken away from me again.

Now we're out back at the Fox Mansion, as Noah sits around a large bonfire, smoking an impressively large cigar. He takes a puff, and looks up at the camera.

"You know the one way to keep yourself off of a predator's radar? Silence. Owls, Tigers, Bears, Foxes, they all rely on a keen sense of hearing to discern key information regarding their prey. And just when that little mouse or stoat thinks they've escaped..."

Noah snaps his fingers

"They're gone, just like that.

"You know, it could've been that way for Sophie Halter. She could've stayed quiet, laid down, and things would've gone on. She would've been embarrassed, sure, but she could've come back from it. Built up a nice reputation, had a nice career. But, no, that wasn't easy enough for her, was it. She just had to go and open that stupid, big mouth of her. She just had to fire back. Talk about how pompous I am. You know what? She's right! I am. Unapologetically so, in fact. But the thing is, I've earned it. I started from nothing, and built my way up. And every single day I make more money than most women do in their entire careers! So, yeah, I want to enjoy it. Sue me! But actually, don't, because I'll bet my lawyer is better than yours.

"So, now what to do, Ms. Halter? You've challenged me! Called me out, let me know that you're really going to give it the old college try. OK, give it a try. You won't be the first to do so. A lot of people have tried. You know what they have in common? Failure.

Every

Single

One of them.

"You said it yourself, I'm the smarter animal here. And with fire and smoke, I can defeat anything. Ah, how little they know. Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.

"Sophie, like you I look forward to this match. But, unlike you, I step into this match comfortable, ready, and confident. And if you won't heed my words, I'll have to beat the sense into you. I am better than you, because that is the way God created me. You're right, we all start equal....

Noah slowly lets his hand drift upwards.

"But the cream rises to the top.

Noah takes one last drag before throwing the rest of the cigar into the massive fire

"See you Sunday."

With that, Noah rises and walks in the house. The camera shuts off.

Tangled together, but not in a conventional location, Sophia and Evan were on the floor of an hotel room. That was where she was the most comfortable and he'd do anything to keep her in that state. Their silence interrupted by broken speech, “I...am... not ready.”

Evan shifted and wrapped his arms tighter around Sophia's waist. “Why do you say that, Soph?”


“I-I'm not ready for this to continue. I'll grow accustom then— Oh god— Evan!” She curls up with both hands gripping the side of her head. “What is they take it away again?! I—I can't deal with that!”

This was the difficult part of their relationship. The roller coaster of emotions that had become normalcy. Regardless, Ev hated seeing her in pain. “Shh, Soph... They won't take it away. UKWF is lucky to have you in their roster.”

She continued to tremble which cause Evan to wind his body like a shell, protecting her from everything he could. A kiss to her head then something to distract a bit, “Tell me about this match. Are you excited?”

“Yeah...” Sophia relaxes a bit. “So far I've already gotten myself into trouble though. How did I get mixed up in a feud? Doesn't have anything to do with me... but I hate that smug way Aurora believes she knows a damn thing about me... I hate her... Guess it also doesn't help my opponent seems full of himself...”

Evan chuckles, “Aren't they all? Who cares. You're going to kick his ass. He won't have anything to be high on once that happens.”

His unwavering trust in her abilities was always a douse of good energy. A small smile appears on her face and turns to look at him. “Want to go get some food?”

“Of course.” Evan leans forward giving his girlfriend a soft kiss.
