Paramedic 1: You’re gonna have quite a collection of stitches from this encounter.
Bull just huffs at this. His smile is genuine and vicious at the same time. His eyes seem sated, yet a hunter remains.
Bull: We have scars that run deeper than anything you could imagine. The cuts and strings are miniscule to us now. Go ahead and sew up what you think you must, but in the end it will not change things. We heal…we are as we have always been. Just another roadmap of scars that tell a long tale.
The paramedics look at each other and shrug.
Paramedic 2: Whatever buddy. You need not do anything strenuous for the next few days. These stitches can come out in about a week, but you’re not scheduled next week Smash so you have time to heal.
Bull looks at the woman.
Bull: We have a match on Brawl against three others. And we can guarantee you that we are going to be there.
The paramedics look stunned.
P1: After this match?! You are lucky that you’re still standing.
Bull: Luck has nothing to do with it. We have been through worse. This isn’t even a setback for us.
P2: What’s the next match?
Bull grins even harder, a sick twinkle now in his eyes.
Bull: Barbed Wire ropes. So less weapons on us and more weapons all about. We always did love tossing people.
The paramedics look back to each other and then at Bull. Before they speak, Bull stands and walks out of the room, slinging the title over his shoulder. He stops WGWF personnel.
Bull: Someone get us tickets to Pittsburg, now. We are as stitched up as we are gonna need to be.
The man looks like he wet himself as he nods and takes off. Bull grins and starts to walk, but stops and leans against the wall momentarily.
Bull: Fuck we lost a lot of blood. We better get a bottle of shine for the flight. Gotta replenish the system.
Bull chuckles at his joke as he shoves off the wall and leaves the arena.
ON CAMERA
“Somewhere…someone thinks this is funny.”
**Our camera pops on to show the mostly empty waiting area of an airport. Sitting off in the shadows. Taking up an area all to himself, is the Bastard.**
“One week after we brutally show Rocco the fastest way to the ER…and the general smuck of Brawl decides to put the champion in a barbed wire ropes match.”
**Bull grins**
“And it isn’t even our birthday this month. And yet…its gift after gift. This week it is a gift of multiple targets and a lot of barbed wire.”
“Of course we totally expect our opponents to call this our shortest reign possible….Bull has no idea what he is walking into….we guess the sign language equivalent for the gorilla. Truth be told…you might be right. But we doubt it. After all…the only person here that has a shadow of a chance of beating us…isn’t even human.”
**Bull stretches and looks up at the screen that displays flights. For the Pittsburg flight, it says delayed on it. Bull rolls his eyes**
“The guy running Brawl is a cheap bastard. Anyways…”
**Bull stretches as he speaks**
“AL Gorilla. A fucking gorilla! It's amazing what we can do these days…but somewhere we are sure that we are about to violate a shitload of laws. PETA probably gonna sue us or something. After all…it’s illegal to harm a gorilla….and we are actively planning to skin the big bugger alive with barbed wire. We are not being facetious…we are being literal. This is going to be a blood bath to match the BloodBath title. Its going to get ugly real fast…and we imagine after we are done it will be uglier. AL Gorilla…guess you are not going to get to enjoy much after this. Your handlers or whoever thought this was a bright idea…maybe they should also be within grasp reach so we can properly take care of them for being straight up stupid.”
**An announcement rings over the PA system.**
“Flight 001 on Cheap AF Airlines is once gain delayed an additional two hours for pilot error.”
**Bull shakes his head and mumbles**
“You mean the pilots are drunk.”
**Bull huffs**
“We could walk to Pittsburg faster than this. But then we would be giving everyone else an advantage in this match. Especially Gideon King…who as far as we can remember…has failed to win a significant match. King at least shows up to fight…but has fewer wrestling skills than AL Gorilla. King…this is a no-brainer for you. STAY. HOME. It will make your wrestling career last a lot longer. We don’t care….D.E.A.T.H. is an equal opportunity eliminator. But maybe your family might care…so consider that before you walk to that ring and climb inside…because we will not. We will simply walk to the ring…and begin to dismember and disfigure everyone in our way. This title is not leaving our side. It belongs to the real hardcore member of this federation…and that is us. We live it…breathe it…and own it. You all just stop in from time to time and pretend to understand. But King…you can’t navigate a regular match…how the fuck are you going to begin to navigate this? You are not….you are done.”
**Bull pulls up his phone and starts texting**
“Captain Righteous is it now? Let's be perfectly transparent Prince…we both know that isn’t who you truly are…but you and us…we need to keep appearances up, right? We understand that…but you and us…we need to have an understanding here. We will put you through the wringer…we intend to turn this match into an industrial-sized meat grinder. This isn’t something you have any say about. You do not belong….you are not bound for this world. We will eliminate you as if you are nothing more than an afterthought. Nothing you say or do is going to change this factor…it is already determined. If you lack belief…as Rocco how his day is going. Of course..you are going to have to ask him after he is done being stitched…wrapped…and cast into a person again.”
**Bull grin is nothing pleasant**
Off Camera
Outside of Pittsburg at a little diner sits the Bastard. With him are Abagail Vorhees and Robin Moorehead. Both women are modestly dressed and sitting at a table with Bull.
Bull: You two have those reports we talked about?
Robin: Yes, Montoya is a fast worker. Flawless Finish is the name we have settled on for the new cosmetics line.
Bull muses it over. His stitches make him look almost Frankensteinish in manner.
Abagail: Is it bad if I want to kiss you all over and make it better?
Bull chuckles and shakes his head.
Bull: Focus. This is a business lunch. We have a match to prepare for. Robin?
Robin: Right. So company will reinitiate in two months as you requested.
Bull: No, we have thought about it. Keep the compensation pay the same, just start the company in two weeks instead of two months. Tell our workers it is a bonus for their dedication to the brand.
Robing and Abagail look surprised.
Abagail: Are you sure? You are talking a lot of money for..
Bull: …for people that need it. Look, the economy is crap and the only reason DCI doesn’t suffer is because we didn’t put all our eggs in the same basket. We took the fight to different fronts and that is why we have managed to be as successful as we are. Our workers are a priority over everything else. If they are paid well and their families are taken care of….they work harder and our product benefits because of it. It's just smart work practice. Make it happen.
Bull cuts into what looks like a steak and eggs combo.
Abagail: That’s fine. We have run the final numbers for you with the two-month window in mind, but it shouldn’t matter.
Bull: Good. And make sure you send a few of the new products to Mansley. Come up with something…we saw your tiktoks..blah blah blah…make it seem as nonchalant and as ass-kissy as possible.
Robin: But why? Isn’t she the reason you rebranded anyway?
Bull stops eating.
Bull: Yes. But we have an idea and we need to see if it will work. If so…it may influence other steps we take. And someone send Damage some of the moonshine we are working on.
Robin: We haven’t gotten the green light yet. We are working on so many different issues with that.
Bull: It’s fine, dip into our private stock then. Damage will enjoy it. We will let him know to expect it sometime this week.
Both women nod and Bull waves at their food.
Bull: Well let's eat. We don’t have all day ya know.
Bull winks and chuckles and all have a good insider laugh.
On Camera
“Three blind mice…three blind mice…see how they run…”
“But where the fuck are they going?”
**Bull chuckles…finally on a seat of a red-eye heading to Pittsburg**
“This amuses us. You three are completely random competitors in a weak attempt by the GM of Brawl to secure the BloodBath title on the body of one of his wrestlers. He is attempting a deadly game and he is lucky we don’t come to his office and pull a J Mont….but we are much classier than that.”
“Speaking of J Mont…we wonder if he is going to attempt to avenge his cousin on Brawl. Rocco did such a poor attempt at representing their family name…we figure J Mont will attempt to get involved. We truly hope he does…we will wrap him in barbed wire and use him as a weapon.”
**Bull lets out a sigh**
“D.E.A.T.H. is everywhere…it seeps in and out of every aspect of life. For the three individuals unlucky enough to stand across from us on Brawl…it is coming at a much faster pace than a seep. It will be a torrent of pain and blood…we are going to watch the three of you cry out in pain and spill your blood on the crowd. Rocco is going to have flashbacks if he witnesses any of this. We gave that asshole PTSD…so you can expect the full treatment on Monday. Al Gorilla…apologies to PETA…but we are going to truly test our strength and brutality. Captain Righteous… expect a fail on your part. Might want to think about a reset of what and who you are. Try something less violent. And King…well what can we say about you…at least you try. Yeah… that's about it. You try.”
**The pilot announces that their flight is preparing to take off. He sounds drunk.**
“We will see the three of you at Brawl. We will walk in and we are going to end this little debate about what show the BloodBath title belongs on. Spoiler Alert…it isn’t Brawl. Smash is the show to watch. And when a wrestler from Smash is on Brawl..thats the only time you need to watch it. So to all the Smash loyal fans out there…you might as well tune in and try to enjoy your time until our match comes on. No guarantees the rest of the show won’t bore you to D.E.A.T.H.”
**Bull chuckles as the camera fades to black**
