As he walked down the ramp, he gave another quick glance at his opponent still in the ring, now slumped against the turnbuckle. The Black Knight was pleased that his opponent had put up a good fight and allowed the Black Knight to finally experience a real fight. Although something told him that it would not be the last time him and K-Dawg would meet in the ring.
The Black Knight pushed the black curtains; he saw a familiar yet repugnant face. It was Ahmed Jordan, the little ratty bastard who bothered him last time. The Black Knight walked up to him and gave him a cold stare from behind his helmet.[/b]
“What do you want Ahmed?” boomed the voice. It was again a shame he would have to spoil his victorious moment speaking to this low life.
Ahmed clearly wanted to lash out at the Black Knight for asking suck an obvious question, but he remembered how uncomfortable the straight jackets were in the mental ward, so he calmed himself and tried to regain his composure
“An interview? If it is not too much trouble…”
“Again with the stupidities Ahmed? Why are you going to interview me about my match. You saw it. You saw the outcome. Now, with emotion usually goes hand in hand with victory?”
“Well, I’ll skip over that part. But what are your thoughts against your new title defence?”
The Black Knight took a deep sigh and shrugged
“As long as I have this title, I can safely assume that people, with their false hopes of defeating me, will attempt to take it away from me. Now, I may be sounding a little egotistical considering I have won non-stop since my debut. My opponent is one that I have beaten before and I enjoy traditions. BZ shall again face the fury of Luna and will simply lose to my sheer power.”
“Well, your match with K-Dawg was an impressive one, with lots of close calls…”
“He was a good opponent and finally put up a real fight against me. While still my opponent, I have respect for him. I am glad to know his loss hasn’t put him down and I see interesting things happening to him in this business. I am positive I will have to face him again sooner or later. BZ, on the other hand, is one with no talent or skill, so I will have no trouble defeating him. Besides, I haven’t seen his rather unappealing face around here in a while anyways. Which is good for him, maybe he learned his lesson not to go against me, maybe he values something in his pathetic, meaningless existence.”
“Any final words before your match?”
“They call this event Final Cut. And after I am done with BZ, I will show everyone why it will be the final cut for BZ…”
The Black Knight unsheathes his sword and holds it up to the camera. He lets the light of the lamps shine upon it, and without saying anything; he sheathed his sword and walked away…
Scene 2 – An Unwelcome Encounter
As he walked backstage towards his locker room, the Black Knight felt some uneasiness. Something in the air wasn’t right. As he continued to walk down the hallway he felt a hand grasp his shoulder. With an amazing speed, the Black Knight spun around, sword already unsheathed only to have his strike parried…
“Sharp as ever, Black Knight. My goodness did Griel ever teach you well…although I do deserve some credit, no?”
The Black Knight stared into those red, soulless eyes gazing at him. His cocky grin boiled his blood.
“Shut up Arcadas”
Arcadas gave a small chuckle and noticed that the Black Knight still hadn’t taken his blade down, in fact, Alondite was still pressing against his blades of lightning and fire.
“Now now, I would ease that attack stance and lower your sword. Alondite is almost indestructible, but I’m sure it won’t last too long pressed against the fires of hell and the lightning of the heavens, no? I wouldn’t want you to ruin that nice silvery finish. After all, I did spend a lot of time enchanting that blade for you…”
The Black Knight, knowing he was in the right, did as he was told. He sheathed his sword and gave a him a cold, dirty look.
“Atta boy! Seeing, listening to me is the right thing to do.”
“What do you want Arcadas?”
“Nothing, I want to just congratulate you on your impressive victory. Keep it up big guy! Enough victories and you may earn my favour enough to get a second chance and re-send you to Tellius. After all, that blue haired kid just killed your king…
“What!” the Black Knight shouted, “He killed Ashnard!”
“Mmhm, it would seem that you were the largest obstacle that boy had to face. Apparently, his blade cut through him and his entire army like butter. He’s grown stronger you know…don’t think you’re the only one improving. I must say I’m becoming rather concerned, first defeating you, and then defeating Ashnard, then freeing Crimera and restoring it to the way it was before. All this peace and hope is making me sick.”
“I see…” the Black Knight spoke. Images of his battle with that blue haired bastard were now as fresh as ever. Arcadas, feeling the tension and hatred build up inside of him, knew that his work here was done.
“Well, I best be off. You need to rest after your match. Go and enjoy it. I’ll be seeing you soon.”
As Arcadas was fading away, he gave decided to give one more cheap shot to the Black Knight before he totally disappeared.
“Try not to have any bad dreams…”
The Black Knight knew that his punishment wasn’t over. Arcadas would probably make him relieve another painful memory tonight…
As the Black Knight trudged out the exit, he decided to find a place to rest before he would leave for Tokyo. He was too tired to travel now anyways.
Soon enough, the Black Knight managed to find a vacant room in one motel with enough persuasion. As he walked into his small, dank room, he laid Alondite beside his bed. He took off his armour and went for a shower.
After a long shower, he cleaned out his armour shined it, and put on his red and black robes he had purchased beforehand in the day. Although he was used to sleeping in his armour, he was slowly getting used to the luxury this world had to offer. As he laid on top his bed, he awaited for his eyelids to get heavy and prepare himself for the nightmare that would await him. What painful memory would he have to suffer now?[/b]
