Tiger Gold stands poised on a majestic mountaintop. The smell of destiny hangs in the air...

[Quillz]

***The scene opens at sunrise on a brisk mountaintop overlooking an undisturbed forest. Tiger Gold stands with his arms folded over his chest. An eagle cries out as wind blows majestically across the fur of the solemn warrior’s mask.***

GOLD: “Crusher Sato... the last time we met, you defeated me. Using your powerful arms and tremendous bulk, you brought the mighty Tiger Gold crashing to the canvas with a sound of explosive thunder and the force of a devastating earthquake. Your wicked villainy stood tall, and my warrior’s spirit was scattered to the four corners of the globe by the eternal winds. Victory over Tiger Gold does not come easily. For your ascension, you deserve the accolades allotted to our sport’s true immortals. But your evil triumph shall not go unchallenged. Cherish the sweet taste of the rare fruit of victory Crusher Sato... because you shall not feast on it a second time.”

***Tiger Gold clenches his fist and stares down at the ground. A single bead of sweat drips from his masked brow.***

GOLD: “When we last met... I was a diminished version of the warrior you see before you today. Self-doubt had rendered me a mere shadow of my immortal self. Stripped of my Tiger Breaker, I was unsure of my place in this story of destiny. But in facing you at Assault... I also faced my own inner demons. I stared deep into the mirror of my inner self and saw that the true path of the warrior is one rife with self-reflection and renewal. I faced your considerable might on your terms. I resisted the unholy temptation brought on by the cursed Irigami-Lock, and in doing so... purged myself of its evil influence. I say this not to diminish your unquestionable might Crusher Sato... but merely to inform you that when we meet again, you shall face a whole and complete Tiger Gold.”

***Tiger Gold places his hands dramatically on his hip.***

GOLD: “And meet again we shall... for your vile mentor, the Imperial Assassin, has spouted his heinous lies one too many times. For weeks he has disparaged the valiant fighting women of PWA with his wicked words. As a traveled world warrior, I have encountered many women who put your master’s despicable personage to shame in the ring. The stage of the immortals knows no gender, and refusing to fight female competitors is but a shield of lies designed to protect the Imperial Assassin’s fragile reputation and championship title from a gamut of worthy challengers.”

***Tiger Gold points mightily at the camera as a flash of brilliant sunlight glints off the teeth of his fearsome mask.***

GOLD: “At Assault, master and student shall learn true humility when Crusher Sato and the Imperial Assassin will team together to take on the combined masked might of Tiger Gold... and a new warrior that I am proud to have the honor of fighting alongside... La Nieve! Beware villains, for in a week’s time you shall face the justice of the warrior-born. In La Nieve’s chest beats the heart of a true immortal. And when that righteous fury is combined with the fighting sprit of the legendary Tiger Gold, no force on Earth will be able to withstand our might! You vile villains claim to be the new, dominant force in professional wrestling... at Assault, that dominance shall be tested as never before. Our match will be a true clash of gladiators on the immortal stage! Upon the tapestry of legend shall be scrawled yet another tale of honor and triumph. Beware foul rogues... for destiny awaits!”

***An eagle screeches as a shaft of sun breaks through a cloud, illuminating the mountaintop with solar brilliance. A beam of righteous light dances off the gold sequins that adorn Tiger Gold’s muscular frame. The mighty warrior strikes a fearsome pose, and lets out a glorious roar.***
