It's all about performance

[Ballistic]

---[ Ballistic is relaxing in his beachfront villa watching the waves and enjoying the serenity of it all. The phone rings, breaking the silence. ]---

Ballistic: "Hello. G'day Mr. Howard. Yeh, i'm really enjoying my week off, thanks for giving me that. A match? This week? Alright sure. Who would I be up against? Angie Ryker? A newbie eh? Thanks alot. Bye."

---[ Ballistic pulls out the tapes from last weeks Sunburn. After being unaware of what went on last week, he is now informed of all the new things that have taken place. Ballistic picks up the phone and dials a number. ]---

Ballistic: "Disturbed, mate, what the hell happened last week?? Yeah I saw that, how did she manage to beat you? You, the deathmatch champion? Mabye i'll have a bit more of a battle on my hands than once thought. Alright mate, good luck in your match. Cya."

---[ --:AT THE GYM:-- ]---

---[ Ballistic begins his daily routine. He adds more reps and more weight so he can build himself up even more, allowing him to become a machine, if you will. He will make himself so that Angie is no match for him and will crumble with his mighty blows. Ballistic is working harder than ever over the last few days, improving everyday. After his session he reaches for his towel, sweat dripping everywhere. ]---

Ballistic: "Phew, that was one hell of a workout, i'm buggered!

---[ Jeremy, Ballistic's personal trainer walks over to talk with Ballistic. ]---

Jeremy: "Wow Ballistic, you're really putting the effort in and the results are showing, very impressive. I must have trained you well!"

Ballistic: "Haha. Yeah mate, i'd be nothing without you. You really showed me just what I could become and how to go about achieving that. Look at me now, i'm bigger and fitter than ever thanks to you. I feel like I could take on anyone!!"

Jeremy: "Alright Ballistic, don't get to excited. Also don't overestimate your challenger this week. Just treat her like any other person you've wrestled. Go out there and give it your all and the result will speak for itself."

Ballistic: "You're right. I'll just go out there and give it 110% and do everything I can to win! Alright Jemery, i'm done for today, thanks mate and i'll see you later, hopefully i'll be able to show off my Australian Title!"

---[ Ballstic left the gym and began to jog back to his villa. ]---

[Angie Ryker]

[As Ballistic is leaving the gym, a female voice nearby is heard.]

Voice: Pfft, the only Australian Title you're gonna have is the replicas you can buy in the DUEW merchandise stands.

[Ballistic looks around to see who it is, which is when we encounter the pretty but bitchy expression on Angie Rykers face. Leaning on a wall, she smiles slightly and continues.]

Angie "Greatness" Ryker: The fate of the Australian Title is planned; it's going to be mine for keeps, and nobody, and I mean nobody is going to be able to take it from me. Because c'mon, let's face it, I'm greatness in a nutshell.

"Unknown Status" Ballistic: What are you doing here? Go have a manicure or something, can't you see I'm going to my beachfront villa to relax?

Angie "Greatness" Ryker: Whoahoho, I didn't come to start anything negative.

"Unknown Status" Ballistic: Then why shit stir?

Angie "Greatness" Ryker: Aww, what I said before? That was a sugar coating! Now, just listen to what I have to say. I've seen footage of you aruond here, and I gotta admit that you're rather impressive. In more ways than one, might I add.

"Impressive" Ballistic: Hmm? What do you mean?

[She smiles again, laughing slightly, and pushes herself off the wall, making her a little bit closer to him.]

Angie "Greatness" Ryker: I was just about to tell you. Impressive in the way that you move in the ring - someone with skill like that should be more respected. And you know.. I respect you.

[Angie then gets a bit closer to Ballistic, who seems to be getting a little awkward. Flipping her hair, she gets almost as close to Ballistic as she can and looks up at him.]

"Impressive" Ballistic: .. are you trying to seduce me or something?

Angie "Greatness" Ryker: What if I was?

TBC By Anyone I Guess.. And It's Harmless Fun!

[Ballistic]

---[ Ballistic stands his ground. He continues to look down on Angie. ]---

Ballistic: "Well Ms. Ryker, just what are your intentions? hmm? You're quite the sweet talker. But that will only get you so far in this business. You'll need to back that up with some performance, in the ring that is."

---[ Ballistic runs his hand through Angie's hair. ]---

Ballistic: "Mabye you shouldn't go for the Australian title. Wouldn't want to ruin that pretty face of yours now, would we?"

---[ Ballistic takes a step back and flexes, looking at his body. ]---

Ballistic: "Impressed? I can understand why people would want some of this, in and out of the ring. You might just get both if you play your cards right..."

---[ Ballistic winks at Angie and turns to walk off... ]---

[Angie Ryker]

[.. but stops when she grabs his arm.]

Angie "Seductive" Ryker: Hold on there. Take my word on this, I can back my words up with the right performance, in the ring..

[She slows her words down a bit.]

Angie "Seductive" Ryker: .. and.. out. As far as playing my cards right go, well let's just say that it's only just dealing time.

[She raises her eyebrow slightly thinking that she's "won the seducing war"..]

Angie "Seductive" Ryker: So what do you have to say to that?

[Ballistic]

---[ Ballstic begins to smile at Angie. ]---

Ballistic: "What do I have to say to that you ask? Well, I just happen to have an empty beachfront villa.. If you're interested of course. We could continue this conversation, say, over dinner?

---[ Ballistic awaits a reply from Angie. ]---
