Tyberius King has a bag on his back and is carrying another as he walked down the hallway. He stumbles into Eli Zayn and Eli looks surprised to see him.

✦TYBERIUS KING: Hey man, just on my way out.

✦ELI ZAYN: No wait.

Eli places an hand on Ty’s arm to stop him.

✦TYBERIUS KING: What’s up?

Ty seems concerned as Eli made this seem important and he was hoping everything was alright.

✦ELI ZAYN: I didn’t even know you were tonight. Is there a reason we didn’t see you during the show?

✦TYBERIUS KING: Yeah there was.

King sets down his bag and adjusts the one on his back before stepping closer to Eli so he can lean in the microphone. He wipes a hand over his mouth before he speaks to make sure he has things worded the way he wants.

✦TYBERIUS KING: I sat in the back the whole night watching the show and I waited for Fel to come on the screen. I kept staring and hoping that the moment would come that I would see her basking in her own glory to say something. I didn’t even care if it was about me. I just wanted to know she was here, but then there was nothing. That moment never came Eli. I sat here the whole night waiting for it and there was no payoff.

Zayn just cocks an eyebrow at King.

✦ELI ZAYN: Why we’re you waiting for Felicity?

King just smiles and laughs as he pats Eli on the shoulder.

✦TYBERIUS KING: So I could tell her the words I’m now going to have to tell you and hope she watches this. I came here to tell Fel that I’m not going to sit and play the wait till she’s ready bullshit. I’ve been chasing a singles match with her since I came to this company. I know she wants to prove that even though she doesn’t have the title that she’s the best. I’m sick of proving Eli. It’s time to show what I know. What I know is that I’m one of the best in the entire world when I’m between the ropes. That’s not me being cocky and I’m not being arrogant. I can still lose on any night. I’m confident in my ethic though. I know that when it comes to pro wrestling there’s not many who can say that they outwork me and that they are as devoted to this sport as me. That’s why I’m here right now. So I’m not going to take no for an answer. I know that there is a House of Pain coming up.

King takes the mic out of Eli’s hands and then looks directly into the camera. You can just tell by his eyes that he means business.

✦TYBERIUS KING: I’m not going to be long winded, I’ll get right to the point. Fel I am telling you to be there for House of Pain. You’re going to stand in that ring from me and look me in the damn eyes and we are going to set a date and a stipulation from this match. There’s going to be no games and no bullshit. You don’t want me to come looking for you if you’re not there. That’s a promise.

King hands back the microphone to Eli and then picks up his bag. He nods at Eli and then starts to walk away.

✦ELI ZAYN: Well you heard it directly from Tyberius King. He has called out Felicity Banks.

Lyza Reyes

Posted Image

Following the conclusion of Defiance, Lyza Reyes is on her way out of the Golden 1 Center with her weekender bag in hand. Her expression is that of frustration after losing in the main event. Not only did Henny play dirty, but Asha overstepped her boundaries with the connoisseur of all things Ultra. On top of that, she accidentally cross-bodied the World Champion, further moving up the ranks on his shiz list. (Peep the boiler room walls.)

As Lyza waits for a car service to show up, her phone vibrates when an incoming call comes through. She taps the screen to accept the call, placing the phone against her ear.

✦LYZA REYES: Allo...eh, I could be better, but you know. [i[You[/i] know how it is and what’s to be expected from certain individuals. Todos quieren ser las cosas suciamente y despues se hacen los estupidos. Soooo convenient. Anyway, let me stop pretending you understood all of that. How’s A-

Before Lyza could finish her question, the line begins to cut out, only bits and pieces of sound being heard. A second later it erupts in a loud screech of white noise, causing her to pull it away from her ear in surprise.

Looking down at the phone, her expression turning into one of shock as instead of the screen showing the call in progress, it shows a still image. It’s fuzzy, clouded by static, but she could definitely make out what she’s seeing.

It’s a still image of her… right at this moment, looking down at her phone.

The lights of the parking lot flicker ominously, before several go out completely, dimming the area around her.

✦????: Hello, Elizabeth…

The voice seemingly came from everywhere and nowhere, echoing off of the walls around her. Lyza looks around briefly, trying to figure out where the idea the voice is coming from. She turns to look in front of her… in time to see the silhouette of the HKW World Champion, just beyond the threshold of a nearby light fixture. While she couldn’t make out the features of the man before her, Lyza could tell by the look she’s receiving that Kai was still thoroughly pissed from earlier.

✦KAI: Now, where were we…?

He takes a step forward, eyes glinting evilly and promising pain for her “accidental” Crossbody following the main event. She takes a deep breath, knowing this interaction would happen eventually. Better here than at the hotel or at the spa.

✦LYZA REYES: Look, I'm sorry you were the recipient of my attempt at getting Mason to bugger off. He's been a thorn in my side for months. Bad timing, placement, etcetera…

She says this with sincerity in her eyes, never losing eye contact as she explains her intentions. She doesn't even correct him on getting her name wrong...again. Kai’s eyes narrow as he looks over at her, tilting his head.

-✦KAI: So you say. But so far your attempts to remove him and rebuff her...

At the reference to Asha, Kai’s voice turns into a venomous hiss. However angry he is at Lyza, it seems as though his fury at not having gotten his hands on the third member of their match is much greater.

✦KAI: … have given you the misfortune of being in my sights twice now. Perhaps you’re right and it’s simply you being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Or maybe… you’re not as aloof to the situation as you would like me to believe.

She shrugs in acknowledgment of his point. Anyone could speculate that Lyza had ulterior motives considering the circumstances and stakes. In her case against Kai, it would take more than words to convince him otherwise.

✦LYZA REYES: I don’t know whether you overheard my phone call from minutes ago, however, if you did, you would’ve heard me say something in Spanish. I also am unsure of how many languages you speak, so anyway I expressed how it pisses me off that people want to play dirty. I’m sick of it, and I’m sick of people like Asha who get a kick out of acting deluded over it!

A small “hmph” sound escapes her as she gets herself riled up over Asha’s actions as of late.

Kai says nothing for a few moments, observing Lyza carefully. He clearly didn’t trust her, but he hasn’t tried anything yet. Perhaps he’s humoring her.

✦KAI: And you yourself won’t stoop to such lows, even with knowing that both of your opponents will do the same if it means to do what they’ve set out to accomplish? Or in my case… retain what I’ve sworn to keep in my possession with every ounce of blood, bile, and venom my body possesses.

Kai paced back and forth like an animal in the shadows, just a few feet away from her now as he kept his eyes locked on Lyza. She looks at him incredulously.

✦LYZA REYES: It’ll never be the same, Kai. I have to look at myself in the mirror when all is said and done. There’s no way I could ignore or downplay what I did in between to get to the outcome. I will look back one day to reflect or maybe I’ll be seeing my life flashing by before a semi hits me.

She stares off into space for a second as she imagines Sandra Bullock doing the deed.

✦LYZA REYES: I can’t have that on my conscience. And I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure I am not haunted by my own actions.

By this time, it was pretty clear that Lyza came from a different school of thought in comparison to her co-contender and the man standing in front of her. Kai’s eyes never left hers, seemingly piercing right into her very soul as he tilts his head.

✦KAI: Perhaps you are what you say you are… someone who wants to keep true to themselves rather than give in to the temptation of letting this business awaken your darkest desires.

There was very faint something in his voice, almost sounding like respect. But it left as quickly as it came as his eyes narrow.

✦KAI: Not all of us have the luxury of saving ourselves before we become our demons. Some have no choice, driven by the harsh decision because of what we would stand to become without it. Drowned in the thoughts of failure and what could’ve been reverberating within their own mind, lost and forgotten in time.

Kai takes a step forward.

✦KAI: So allow me to leave you with a word of warning…

Before Lyza can react, the lights again dim -- and she immediately feels a hand yank her to the side, lifting her up by the front of her shirt as she meets Kai’s cold, deadly gaze, not even getting the chance to wonder how he’d gotten so close.

✦KAI: If I believe you’ve lied to me here or that I was right in any way about you and you intend to take everything I’ve worked for, bled for, thrown away so much for to get to this point?

Kai leans next to her ear and speaks in a low, threatening hiss.

✦KAI: There will be no place on this planet that will shelter you from my wrath.

Kai lets her go and seemingly fades into the shadows all around them… just as the lights come on, revealing Lyza standing in front of the car she’d been waiting for.

Fade.
