Back From The Dead, Here Comes The Money!

6:45 p.m. - AFW Tension Headquarters - Kyoto, Japan

"Can y'all hurry this up? My girl's gon' be cookin' spaghetti tonight and Im hungry as hell..." Said the current 24/7 Champion of Tension: Clyde T. Gastin, carrying his title belt over his shoulder while being questioned by an interviewer at his side, standing there in the interview room with his usual attire of a white T-Shirt, Blue Jeans, Brown Boots, and his precious brown leather cowboy hat. In addition to a gallon of milk that he was drinking right out the carton from, now nearly empty. All while frowning at the cameras that endlessly stared at him, honestly not wanting to be there at all and just wanting to go back home meet Heather in time for dinner.

It hadn't been too long since Friction's Avalanche Pay-Per-View Event, which was the same night Clyde awoke from his coma and reunited with his lover, now Fiancee, Heather Sunderland after her brutal match with Kelly 'The Ghoul' Conway inside an Enclosed Steel Cage. It was also the same night the public became aware that Clyde was in fact 'Alive' after being beaten down by several members of The Gatt Attack before being mysteriously shot by an unknown assailant. Miraculously, Clyde survived thanks to the efforts of his friends, family and Dr. Chesna Matu, whom Clyde currently owed $100,000.00 American Dollars to.

"Well It's Great To See You Alive and Well Mr. Gastin! How Are you Feeling?" Asked the young interview with a rather fake smile who went by the name of Tika Sagaro.

"Hungry." Clyde would respond bluntly to Tika's question before taking another swig of milk from the gallon sized carton he carried, causing to Tika to just look at Clyde with a rather nervous and almost stupefied look.

"What kind of answer is that!? You were just shot and now you're back a month later and you're acting like nothin' happened!" Tika would let out loudly in front of the camera's as her happy demeanor broke.

"Damn right I'm actin' like nothin' happened! That shit ain't botherin' me cause there ain't a goddamn bullet in the world that can kill Clyde T. Gastin!" Clyde would let out before snatching the mic away from Tika, pushing her aside as he looked to the Camera's and began to speak. "Yeah I got beat down... Yeah I got shot... But I'm still here! I'm still rockin' the AFW like a boss! I'm as happy as can be honestly! I'm here, I'm alive... I'm the 24/7 Champ... Im engaged to the woman of my dreams..." Clyde would let out, begening to boast before his last statement caused the entire room to go quiet, prompting Tika to snatch the mic from Clyde's hands.

"YOU!?!? ENGAGED!?!? Tika would let out, eyes wide in astonishment as she looked to Clyde, unable to believe it.

"Can't really picture it, can ya?" Clyde would say with a smug grin before taking in another swig of milk. "Can I... Go home now?" Clyde would ask Tika curiously before she spoke into the mic he held.

"What about you returning to the ring? Has anyone attacked you for the belt recently? When do you plan on defending it!? Tika would ask frantically to which Clyde would answer... "No and... I guess when somebody challenges me..." He'd answer with a shrug before preparing to walk off set, milk and title in hand.

Brittany was in a bad mood today as she was walking through the Tension halls "Why do i have to be here?" Brittany siad as she kept managing to get called over to this place even though she wasn't even on the Tension roster "I mean i know i am beautiful and everybody want to talk to me but this commute sucks and i'm trying to recover." Brittayn said outloud before she heard someone having an interview just ahead of her. Brittany turned the corner and saw Clyde Gastin talking to some stupid girl "Hmm i think i have a good idea" Brittany said as she moved over to the two people and shoved Clyde out of the way and towards a nearby wall "Enough from you, Its time for the world to know i am back and ready to prove that Cecilia's win over me was a fluke" Brittany said as she took the mic from Tika "Hello AFW this is Brittany and its time to know that i'm back and that i'm here to kick everyone's ass and get my revenge on that blonde bitch Cecilia whose victory was only a fluke" Brittany said completely ignoring Clyde who she just tossed aside.

Just as Clyde declared the interview to her over and got to making his exit from the set, he would be suddenly pushed aside by some blonde chick in a tight snake skin outfit who just barged in outta nowhere. "Ah...Hey watch it lady!" Muttered Clyde as Brittany just pushed her way into the interview area and started talking away. Although he wasn't all that bothered by this really snobbish girl at first, it was not until she mentioned Cecilia and called her a bitch, along with naming her victory over her nothing more than a fluke.

"A-Ah! Ms. Brittany 'The Viper' Luuve! What a pleasant surprise!" Tika would declare enthusiastically from beside the girl, not taking any offense to her rude entrance. But Clyde on the other hand was visibly upset by Brittany's words due to being a close friend of Cecilia's, considering her to almost be family for everything that she had done for both him and Heather, whom Cecilia had taken care of during his time in a coma, and for that, Clyde was grateful. He didn't want to imagine all the hardships Heather would have to face having to deal with his near death alone, but thanks to Cec, she didn't have to. Clyde owed Cecilia for alot of things, she protected him, she brought him and Heather together, but to hear her insulted like that was really getting under his skin.

Clyde would then begin to think to himself and wonder just who this girl was as he thought over the name, playing it back in his head over and over until he realized that this was the same girl that Cecilia had defeated at AFW Avalanche, and it was at that moment Clyde realized how his evening now going to end up, for he wasn't about to allow some pompous, snobby brat to insult his friends like that.

"Sorry Heather... Guess I gon' be comin' home late tonight..." Thought Clyde before he stepped up towards Brittany and attempted to snatch the mic from her hands while looking into the camera with a wide, childish grin. "...And if ya don't remember her folks... She's that Snake-Lady who got her ass BEAT by Cecilia Fuckin' Northman at AFW Avalanche not too long ago..." Clyde would say happily into the camera, intending to get under Brittany's skin.

Brittany was continuing to rant over the mic before Clyde managed to take the mic off of her and talking about her in a rude way "Hey dumb shit i wasn't talking to you" Brittayn said as her bad mood came to the front and from out of nowhere she punched Clyde in the stomach "Hey it rude to interrupt me when i'm talking" Brittany would say before grabbing Clyde by the hair and ttossing him to the gorund "Some people just need to learn their place" Brittany said as she took the microphone back "ANd speaking about teaching someone their place. Once i'm fully recovered i'm going to come for you Cecilia and this time i'll leave you beaten and broken on the mat" Brattany said before handing Tika the mic before roughly trying to stomp down on Clyde.

Clyde knew his antics were going to lead to trouble with Brittany, but he didn't know how bad. At least not until he took a surprise shot to his stomach from The Viper. "Guhhhh!!" Clyde would let out with a violent cough as Brittany struck his abdomen hard with her fist, causing him to double over a bit, all before his attacker roughly grabbed him by the hair and tossed him down hard on the floor below, dropping his 24/7 title and spilling the carton of milk he carried.

"Fuck... My Ribs are achin'... Goddammit, my first day back and Im already gettin' my ass beat... And ain't even drunk this time. Clyde would think to himself as he held onto his stomach, feeling his body cave within a little due to the punch, feeling his still injured rib cage and abdominal area cause an array of pain to surge through his body as he was struck by Brittany.

"I shouldn't be fightin' so soon... But I need the money..." Thought Clyde before he looked up and saw Brittany coming at him, aiming to stomp down on him. "Oh No ya don't!" Clyde would let out before picking his hands up towards Brittany's leg as she struck his abdomen, causing Clyde to grunt out aloud in slight pain but also tried to take a hold of The Viper's leg and pull her down towards the side, attempting to throw her down onto the floor.

Brittany didn't really see Clyde as a threat until she felt him grab her leg and toss her roughly to the ground "Ughhh!" Brittany yelled out as she impacted roughly against the concrete with her ribs "Fucking bastard" Brittany thought to herself as pain radiated through her ribs "I'll get you for this you bastard" Brittany said as she kicked out at Clyde to try and get him away from her so she could nurse her injured ribs.

Although Clyde had taken yet another heavy stomp to his abdomen, he felt it was indeed forth it for it allowed him to grab ahold of Brittany's leg and stop any further attacks by her once he threw her down onto the ground next to him, hearing her cry out in pain let Clyde know that he did something good after all as he was able to hurt his attacker with his desperation maneuver.

"You gonna get me like you got Cecilia?" Clyde would snap back at The Viper in a teasing manner before she kicked The Texan away forcing him to roll away from her, clutching his abdomen as he did so.

"Wanna take me down? Don't think ya can... You're just as banged up as I am! Hahahaha... Oww..." Clyde would let out as he went to tease and mock Brittany before he began to laugh, causing his injured ribs to only ache more.

"Name The...Time and... Place.." He'd mutter while sitting up, looking at Brittany with one eye open, gritting his teeth as he clutched onto his sore lower body.

"Fuck you asshole" Brittany said as she began to it up "Cecilia beating me was a fluke and when i'm done with you, you will never be able to wrestle again." Brittany said with an angry glare in her eyes "You have no idea who you are messing with" Brittany said as she stared right at Clyde "Fine in two days meet me in the Tension ring and i will show you your mistake on challenging me" Brittany then smiled "And how about we add some stakes as well. If i win i get your belt and if you win you can have whatever you want"

"Fluke My Ass! Cec fuckin' destroyed ya!" Clyde would argue as he staggered up to his feet while clutching onto his ribs. "...And I sure as hell ain't no push over neither!" Said Clyde before he listened in on Brittany and took in what she was yelling at him, her words taking him a bit by surprise.

"Whatever I want, huh? Fine! It'll be a match for the 24/7 Title... And since I hear you're loaded... How about If I win... I get nice big ol' briefcase of Ten Thousand American dollars... That sound good for ya, Missy?" Said Clyde with a wily grin directed at The Viper, hoping that she'd accept his proposal.

Brittany gets to her feet and glares at Clyde "Fine i accept your conditions" Brittany said before turning to leave "But you better get ready to hand over that title you bastard because in two days it will be mine." Britaany then walked past Tika and shoved her out of the way as she did all the while thinking of how she was going to beat and humiliate Clyde for this injustice to her.
