Mapoko's Thoughts

[mapoko]

Mapoko sits on the bar and addresses the Bartender : Double bourbon ...
Bartender : Right away!
TheBartender reaches under the bar and sips the drink in a glass.
Bartender : Only the best for one of the bests wrestlers GX had !
Mapoko looks him with a look that expresses both confusion and wonder.
Mapoko : Had ?!
Bartender : Well, dont get me wrong - I am huge fan of yours, but ...
Mapoko : But what ?
Bartender : On the TX celebration we saw your partner, Tao, joined TX and secured himself a bright future. What about you ?
Mapoko sips from the glass then chuckle : Ha! Bright future ...
The Bartender seems confused.
Mapoko : Acting without my knowledge ...
Mapoko sips again then continues : He is a loose cannon. Always been.
Bartender starting swiping the bar, while continue to listen to Mapoko.
Mapoko : But, if his choice is to follow the fable dream of a skirt - its his choice.
Bartender : You mean Emma Poulter ?
Mapoko sarcasticly : No, I mean The Downer ...
The Bartender refills Mapoko's glass.
Mapoko : Have you seen the TX theme ? To classify it as circus will be a compliment.
Mapoko sips from the glass.
Mapoko : I remember my first season in GX ... After our debut she asked us to go in her office and ... guess what ?!
Bartender : I dont think I should ...
Mapoko giggles : Hah! You are funny! Not that ... She asked us to change our attire ... I quote : To have more colors, more sparkles, more GLITTER, confeti ... and gay !
Mapoko and the Bartender share a laughter for few seconds.
Mapoko : Thats why we became the splinter in her eye for 3 seasons straight ...
Mapoko stops for a sec then continues : Can you believe it ? It took her whole 3 seasons and an army of 8 to stop just the 2 of us ...
Bartender : Thats one of the reasons that I am such a huge fan of yours ! You 2 never gave up. Fought against all odds and won countless times ...
Mapoko nods.
Mapoko : But seems that the B ... Witch found the weakest link. She understood that she cant lure him with power and she finally had the productive idea to seduce him instead of forcing ...
Bartender : Seduce ?!
Mapoko : Not literally ... No matter how low her standards may be I guess he didnt seduce him literally.
Mapoko looks around the room then changes the subject : Do you know what is a peer pressure ?
Bartender : I guess ...
Mapoko : Well, the problem is that the fans - people like you ... They look up to me. They can see the role model, the powerful being, the unbreakable spirit ...
Mapoko sips from his glass then continues : BUT ... with that woman occupied the management there is no way for my fans to keep seeing what they adore ...
Bartender : I see, I see ...
Mapoko : Practically there is no competition left for me ... Swiping the ring with lower devision wrestlers ... and not to mention friends ! People with whom I party, Train, excersize ... And being forced to smash them in the ring ?
Mapoko pauses for a sec
Mapoko : Thats not me ... Thats not Mapoko ...
Bartender : So ... what are you going to do ?
Mapoko : There are few options ...
Mapoko : To follow my enemies and the rest of the weak minded "purple fairies", which is ... unthinkable ...
Mapoko looks around and continues : The other option is to screw all I achieved in the past 4 seasons and start anew ... But lets face it - starting from a scratch is for losers and people who have nothing to lose ...
Mapoko : That leaves me the option with the least conflict - To take down the B ... witch !
Mapoko : Sadly, I wont be able to lead the charge ... another wrestler already did.
Bartender : You are talking about Black Spirit ?
Mapoko : Yeah ... And despite that he havent earn my respect yet I think I should join his crusade.
Bartender : Why dont you just lead another crusade ?
Mapoko : A wise man once said - Two small armies are easier to defeat than 1 large.
Mapoko : Still ... I havent made my finial decision yet ...
Mapoko reaches for his pocket, but the bartender interrupts him : No, no, no, sir! Its on the house. Its been a honor to serve you! Not to mention you actually talked to me!
Mapoko smiles.

Before Mapoko is able to get up and leave, a hand is put on his shoulder, as Dante slides into camera view, taking the seat next to him. The bartender gives a look at Dante, as Dante slaps a twenty on the bar.

Dante: Some more of whatever he was having.

Mapoko: I don't have the patience or stomach to deal with scum like you. Come to gloat?

Dante: Nah. In fact, what happened to you and Tao kinda sickens me. Not the whole him ditching to join a stronger crew, that I applaud. I mean the whole losing your titles the way you did.

Mapoko: And why do you care? You're goal since coming here has been to see us lose the titles, so mission accomplished.

Dante: Not entirely. I wanted it done on MY terms. And frankly, this whole TX or GX junk means little to me. Just another source of Chaos. Nothing I'm entirely loyal to, on either side. I just go where I can hurt people. But... you know, if I heard right, another wise guy said an army at war with itself cannot stand. Might of been Ozzy... I dunno.

Mapoko: Does this rambling have a point?

Dante: Yes. Yes it does. Despite what has gone on... MoV is STILL the former Tag Team champs. Meaning, you have a rematch owed to you. I suggest... cashing it in.

Mapoko: Yeah, and after what I did I'll just be a sitting target with the enemy in my corner.

Dante: That's the beauty of it. On paper and in everyone's mind, you'll have the deck stacked against you. Toss in some special stipulations that neither side can pass up... namely if you win, BS gets you and Tao. And if you lose, TX gets you added to the mix. They'll never pass up a chance to get the full MoV on their side.

Mapoko: Like they'd take that chance. Plus, all Tao would have to do is throw the match, and TX wins again.

Dante: True... and if you can get me added as the special ref, the pot will just be too sweet for TX to pass up. But... say the ref was... crooked. Not going along with what everyone thinks will happen?

Mapoko: Like I can trust you. With you AND Tao there, I'm again fighting an army, just alone this time.

Dante gets up and lights up a cigarette, grinning.

Dante: I'm not asking you to trust me... just trust in my nature... think about it... and see what you can get done...

With that, Dante exits the scene the, leaving Mapoko alone at the bar, as the bartender returns.

Bartender: I wouldn't trust him even IF he had the cure to Cancer in his pocket.

Mapoko: Me neither... but then again... who here can ever really trust a guy who doesn't care about the long term outcomes?
