Shades of Gray (Thunder Rp-2)

[Thunder Kobayashi]

(Thunder Kobayashi sits with his plam to his chin. He sits in deep thought for a moment before standing up. He turns to reveal he's in his gym. Thunder walks down a nearby hall and looks apon his wall of fame. Titles decorate from end to end, along with photo's and magizines featuring him and his friends. He comes across the old AJCW roster pic and smiles, seeing Kodo and Legion along side his son-in-law Kenta Kojima always made him laugh. How his fearsome rival turned into his son-in-law is beyond even him. Thunder continues down to his office and sits behind his desk as the camera's follow him.)

Thunder Kobayashi
The past, thats all there really is, the future is unknown, the present is uncertian but the past. . . the past is what it is and can never be changed.

but the past is also set in stone, and stone cannot be alterd only destroyed. Zodiac i see you have formed the horsemen once again. This saddens me a great deal, i thought you had changed but as i can see, like stone you do not change, only wear.

You ask me why i side with the Shaws to combat you back in yesteryear? Why indeed, there was no true answer, for even if Mike and Tommy where warped they also laid back. They had there vices as all men do but never did they try and cause serious harm onto anyone. They where flawed to say the least but for you and TpT to call them anything is like the pot calling the kettle black.

You see your wrong my old foe, there is no black and white in this world but only shades of Gray. There are no absolutes in this world and never shall be. I am not perfect, I am no where near a great man, i simply survive day to day and live my life how i should. How my god and my family would have me, anything else would be dishonorable. For nothing in this world makes you follow the right path other than your own mind, your own honor and soul.

When we face off this coming Mayhem my friend it will all be up to you, you must decide on what you shall bring to the ring. Shall you follow the right path of Honor or the path of reed and lust for gold? Title belts represent not your own greatness but the greatness of your determination and sacrafice.

For when the Thunder sounds from the sky and the lighting flashes the truth onto this world and your own life, shall your eyes show you the true path?

(Thunder sits back and the scene fades)

[zodiac]

~Zodiac is sitting in a leather recliner behind an oaken desk. The middleweight belt sits upon the desk. To the right of the door is a sofa were sits Ryan and Strongwill each wearing a blue pin-striped suite. Cerberus is located across the room watching the Simpson's movie, laughing while his cigarette burns down. Zodiac straightens white tie, and removes the lint from his black Italian suit. He grabs a cigar and lights it as Ryan and Strongwill starts to throw popcorn at Cerberus.~

I guess it's that time again. It always seems to be closer and closer each time. Well in a way I guess it is. Finally the day has come Zodiac the Icon versus Thunder. The match made in hell but signed by the angels. A match where everyone respects one another, that is truly a rare thing these days. I t always seems like everyone is back stabbing everyone. Nobody wants to give it a fair shake and allow talent and ability to take them to new heights. It's truly a sad situation in wrestling theses days.

~Zodiac gets up from his chair and walks out the door and down the steps to the bar. He gets up on a stool and request a glass of orange juice.~

Thunder you claim you have sadness with my Stable. I ask why? The Horsemen have never done anything bad, the reason we come together is to watch each other's back. They make sure I am not attacked from behind and I do the same for them. We are more than a stable though we are Family.
You say that the Shaw's might have been warped. Thunder look back into the past and realize that you only fool yourself with that statement. The Shaw's were the biggest law breakers there. They jumped the president more than once, the man in the picture you like to look upon with joy.

~Zodiac blows the smoke from the cigar into the air. He creates a few rings which makes the bar tender laugh with amusement. He gives Tay a smile and looks back at the doors.~

For one who knows me so well Thunder you still have a lot to learn about me. I will go to the ring like I always have Thunder, by myself. In all our time I have never had the Horsemen follow me to the ring, and this is not an occasion to change that. This is a personal battle between us Thunder one that only you and I can settle. Whether for good or for worse we will start to settle the difference between us at Mayhem.
Thunder you act all high and mighty like you set the bar for everyone. We are not all led by your codes, we all have or own sets of rules. Mine is to win at any cost, whether I have to sacrifice myself, my body or even my career. I have done all at one time or another. Ask Ryan, I'm sure he remembers me being tossed off a ladder that was upon a cage. I landed into the crowd but walked away by myself. I remember being thrown from the top of a three cage tier into waiting tables. I remember sitting in the hospital only to be told that I was on the card for the next week. I climbed out of bed drove to the arena and put on a hell of a show. So no one can claim that I don't give 150% every night, can you say the same Thunder?

~Zodiac puts out the cigar, and opens the door as the young people enter the night club Starlight's deceit. Zodiac climbs the stairs to the office.~

It's coming to a close Thunder. Just a few more days and the questions shall be answered. So prepare yourself for the ultimate test my friend.
