Act 1: Another Challenge
The scene opens on the beautiful city of Helsinki. The night had come on once again, and the lights of the city gave off their light to the rainy streets below. The camera moves past the many restaurants and stores now closed for the evening and soon comes to a stop on the Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa. Lights from the rooms above cast their light to the streets below. A large penthouse suite was dimly lit but voices could be heard coming from inside.
Hiro: Before signing with NEW I have never been to Helsinki, it is very nice here. wish we had more time to enjoy it, but you have your hands full with Eric Herrera.
Gabriela: I know what you mean. We haven't had much time to sight see with any of the places we've been.
She sighs as she stretches. The room that they were in was massive in size. It was one of the many penthouse suites that the hotel had. The floors were done in a beautiful hard wood and the walls were done in a dark wood.
Gabriela: After that match against Jessica I'm sure what to expect. Herrera is no push over.
Hiro: Whenever he has a title he holds onto it for almost a year. So if he wins the Cyber title he will be tough to dethrone, it doesn't help with the VVC running around causing chaos.
Gabriela nods.
Gabriela: Indeed. I mean after what they did to Uh Oh... And everyone else they have stood against... I hate to face off against one of them. Bad enough I have to face off against Herrera...
Hiro: I'll be at ringside, I don't want anyone to interfere in this match.
Gabriela: I don't think it's going to matter. They have the numbers and like to play games.
Hiro: We may have to look for others to aid us
Gabriela: I agree. It seems like the line are starting to be drawn though. I'm not sure who helped me the other night.
Hiro: Could be anyone I think the VVC know who is on their side but maybe we should talk with some others and become an official group maybe...
Gabriela: That would be a good idea. But we'll have to focus on that after my match against Herrera.
Hiro: He started off as a mix of luchalibre and technical and brawling but after facing Ambros he started to add MMA. So he if very well rounded you will have to be on your toes
Gabriela: I'm starting to see where Jessica got it from. She wasn't an easy opponent either.
Hiro: I don't know anyone in their family close or extended who would be a walk in the park. I have to deal with Veronica Rodriguez and they don't call her Fury because she asks for a manager. She is brutal and vicious and Herrera is no different. I mean we could try talking to Ambros for some tips.
Gabriela: That might be the best idea.
Hiro: I hear he will be at Power Struggle personally
Gabriela is taken back and leans down against the dark brown colored couch.
Gabriela: That's hard to believe. He's usually not there. Maybe we can catch him before the show.
Hiro: That's what I am thinking. Something made him fly out here possibly an announcement or maybe something about VVC
Gabriela: I have a feeling you're right.
Hiro: it is hard to get ready for a match when you have to constantly look over your shoulder
Gabriela: Yeah it is. That's why I haven't left the hotel. I'm not sure its safe.
Hiro: It isn't safe to go anywhere alone. They are spreading like a virus
Gabriela: And that isn't good for anyone.
Hiro: I agree, we should go to the arena early and meet up with Ambros
Gabriela: Agreed. But for right now, let's get some rest.
Hiro nods
Hiro: You want to use the shower first?
Gabriela: Sounds like a plan.
Hiro nods and starts unpacking his bag. Gabriela starts to unpack as the scene fades to black.
Act 2: A meeting of the Minds
The scene reopens on the interior of the arena. Stage hands make their way around placing set pieces and the rest of the equipment where it needed to be. We soon see Gabriela and Hiro walking along the halls. They see some workers putting Commissioner name plate on a door.
Gabriela: Is he here yet?
Worker: He is.
Gabriela knocks.
Female voice: Come in
Hiro looks to Gabriella. She shrugs and opens the door. There sitting on one of the couches was Denise dressed in her usual outfit. Ambros sits behind the desk with his hands folded in front of him on the desk.
Denise: Hiro, Gabriela, its good to see you.
Hiro: Good to see you both as well.
Ambros: Close the door. Grab a seat, what can I do for you?
Gabriela sits down in front of the desk.
Gabriela: Well... I'm facing off against Eric tonight... I'm not sure what to expect...
Ambros: Eric is fast and tough. He will come at you with everything he can. Stand up strikes, mat wrestling, high flying, even hardcore brawling. Keep him in your element
Gabriela: That's I want to do. I mean I know its going to be tough but I'll do what I can to make it to the next round.
Denise: That's all you can do. He's quick but you're faster. Keep to the air and work on joints. It'll keep him grounded.
Ambros: Target the legs takes away his stand up game and his flying
Gabriela: Right. Make sure that I'm in control the entire match somehow.
Denise: But remember he'll be looking to do the same thing to you. Hiro you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Eric likes to face opponents on his own.
Hiro: But I am worried the VVC will stick their nose in the match
Denise: I know. They've been a problem. Issac Boothe is a problem... But you need to just focus on your match. We'll handle the rest.
Hiro nods.
Ambros: I have some announcements planned for tonight
Gabriela gets to her feet.
Gabriela: We heard. Thank you for the advice. It'll help a lot tonight
Ambros: Good luck
Gabriela smiles as she walks out of the office with Hiro following behind as the scene fades to black.
