EMERGE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
#2
Fact was, it hadn’t gone well for the Heartbreakers since their return to action as a tag team. People saw EMERGE as a development company for the ‘big leagues’ there was little doubt about that. People were expected to ‘pay their dues’ before moving up to the main roster… much like Peyton Rice had. But the Tag Team Division in EMERGE was actually as good as anything on the main roster, and therefore it had been difficult for the Heartbreakers to establish themselves. Finally though it looked like they had been given a break, and they found themselves in one of the biggest tag team contests ever, inside the Elimination Chamber. But that didn’t stop the team themselves feeling more than a little ‘ignored’.

 
Niles: You can’t tell us that we are wrong Jodie. When a team can actually just turn up and be in the Chamber, it makes a mockery of everything we have done for tag team wrestling… and let’s face it, that’s pretty much everything
 
Corey nods his head in agreement.
 
Niles: When we stepped into UWA a couple of years ago tag team wrestling was seen as an afterthought. It was bland, it was unexciting, and Corey and I changed that.
 
Jodie: I don’t disagree
 
Corey: No, we haven’t won tag team Gold, but look at the teams that have come to the fore on the back of what we have done. I mean look at the Modern Marvels for instance, how can anyone say that they are not a carbon copy of us? And look at the tag champions in SCW, why do you think James Evans and Angelica Jones want to be good… it’s because of these two guys right here. And I didn’t just point at your breasts.
 
Niles: Correct bro, they’ve copied the formula, and got lucky with management, getting there first. While we…
 
Corey: Have been ignored. Like the Fat Ginger Kid at playtime. And I refuse to be a fat ginger kid.
 
Jodie holds up her hands. Fact was, Jodie was still enjoying herself no matter what. She had two gorgeous young studs that she could do pretty much whatever she wanted with. And to be fair to Corey and Niles, they were always happy to please her, in more ways than one. But she understood what they were saying, the Tag Team Titles had avoided them like the plague ever since their inception, and they were running out of patience.
 
Jodie: Look boys, there is no doubt that to this point we have been ignored, I can’t dispute that.
 
Niles: Damn right we have, and we will continue to be ignored whilst the company has a hard on for Tombstone. A great, massive Dirk Diggler type hard on.
 
Corey: And the two steroid enhanced freaks Mordecai and Dante bro, don’t forget them.
 
Niles: Yeah, them too. Fact is Jodie, if we don’t win this Elimination Chamber, which being honest has very little to do with skill, and all to do with the luck of the draw, we’ll go back to facing the likes of Lilith and Mya, over and over again.
 
Corey: And quite frankly Jodie, that sucks, because Mya has a really bad hygiene problem. Her coochie has a distinct aroma of Tuna.
 
Niles: I smelt that too bro… Ewww. I bet Lilith fucks like a ho though
 
Corey: For sure, it’s a given.
 
Jodie: So OK, what are the two of you saying?
 
Niles: We are saying sweet cheeks, that if this Chamber deal isn’t successful, we want to walk. We want to compete in a company that sees the interest that we generate, and pays us for that accordingly.
 
Corey: We want to be respected as not only the best tag team in the world, but also as the best looking… though that Beard fella is quite the dish.
 
Niles: And that Beard bro
 
Corey: I know, I know. Jealous much.
 
Jodie: Leave EMERGE?
 
Niles: DING!!! That is the correct answer. Now for the bonus round, where do you think we will go?
 
Corey: Come on Jodie, this is like Obvs.
 
Jodie: I dunno…
 
Niles: Come on Jodie, you’re running out of time
 
Corey: Going to have to hurry you
 
Jodie: I honestly don’t know.
 
Niles: Oh no, that is the wrong answer Jodie. You should have said that the Heartbreakers will go straight to the Beauty Factory and work for people that not only believe in them, but know what the fuck they are doing.
 
Jodie: What… I don’t understand
 
Corey: This shit we find ourselves in, we blame you.
 
Niles: You may have exquisite breasts darlin’, but that doesn’t excuse you. You either find a way to guarantee our victory in that Elimination Chamber, or our little ménage a trois is over.
 
Jodie: …
 
Niles: And that’s the bottom line…
 
Corey: Coz, Corey and Niles said so.
 
Jodie scowls… she’d heard that somewhere before but couldn’t place it. And Niles and Corey start talking amongst themselves, purposely turning their backs to Jodie. She realizes pretty quickly that she had to come up with a plan, a surefire way that Niles and Corey would finish Invasion as winners of the Elimination Chamber and also the new EMERGE tag team champions. And she had to do that, knowing that in the back of her mind that weren’t as talented as the Modern Marvels, nor were they as brutal as Mordecai and Dante, or indeed Tombstone. And Beard and Brody… well they were pretty good looking too. They probably wouldn’t go out first… Lilith and Mya had that nailed on, but winners… she had her work cut out. And she’d probably give up, if she didn’t have her own ambitions, and if the Heartbreakers couldn’t go ALL night.
 
THREE WEEKS LATER
 
Truth be told, Jodie had racked her brains constantly, trying to come up with a plan for success. She’d thought about rigging the order of entry, she’d even thought about ensuring that other teams couldn’t compete, but no matter what she thought, she couldn’t guarantee victory for the Heartbreakers. Thankfully for her, the answer had fallen into her lap. In Corey and Niles opinion, they thought she had it easy, she was working with the best tag team bar none, and had been given a pretty comfortable life off the back of them both. It should have been easy to formulate a plan. However, they were starting to have their doubts, stood by what could only be considering a ‘shack’ somewhere in Detroit, in the dead of night.
 
Niles: Is this some kind of sex game you’ve concocted to take our minds off your failure?
 
Jodie: Just have patience Niles… I told you that I’d come up with something, and I have.
 
Corey: And that somehow includes us standing in the back end of bullshitsville, freezing our nuts off?
 
Niles: He’s right, the soldiers have gone inside… I’m talking all the way inside.
 
Jodie: Just a little bit longer
 
Niles and Corey both hear a noise from behind them, a branch cracking in the undergrowth and impending footsteps. A shadow then steps out of the forest and into the clearing, walking towards them
 
Niles: What the fuck?
 
Corey: She’s got someone to take us out bro… after everything we’ve done
 
Niles: This is some proper Michael Myers shit Jodie
 
Jodie: Calm down boys, calm down. This right here is the reason that you are going to win the Elimination Chamber… thank you for coming… Dante.
 
Niles eyes widen, and Corey’s jaw drops as Dante doesn’t indeed step from the shadows and into the light cast by a single lamp on the shacks porch.
 
Dante: I see you boys have found my holiday home… I hope the rats made you feel welcome.
 
Corey: Is this some kind of trick?
 
Jodie: No trick
 
Niles: You really are going to take us out?
 
Dante shakes his head, Jodie putting an arm on Niles shoulder
 
Jodie: No, it’s neither of those things.
 
Dante: Please, there is no need to be afraid. Let’s sit, and talk like adults. You two can do that right?
 
Corey: Are you calling us kids because if you are…
 
Dante: You will do what? I’d advise against it, whatever is running through your thoughts right now, this forest has many, many different places that would allow me to make you ‘disapeer’. Now SIT!!
 
He voice goes a whole lot more ominous, and after dusting off the porch step, Niles and Corey sit on it.
 
Dante: That’s better… now just for a few moments allow me to speak. Do not interrupt, do not ask me questions, and allow me to explain what you are doing here, and what I want from you.
 
Niles: Want from us?
 
Dante: Yes, believe it or not, you can be of use to me. And I you.
 
Jodie: Tell them what you told me.
 
Dante: Remember… no interruptions… as you are aware, the Elimination Chamber will be my final match. What you may not be aware, is that decision isn’t as ‘by choice’ as I have made it out to be. The fact is, my body could shatter at any moment…
 
Niles: Like Mr Glass from the films… sorry bro
 
He realizes he has interrupted and quickly shuts up
 
Dante: As such, I cannot necessarily rely on myself, hence my alliance with Mordecai. Consider him my weapon in the Chamber… but there are four others teams as well as ours and Tombstone. For once, I cannot worry about the ‘other’ teams… my whole focus HAS to be on Tombstone, and retribution for what they did to my brothers. Therefore, the deal is simple. The moment you enter that match, you concern yourself with the Marvels, the whores, and those two who have just waltzed in and think they can take over, and Mordecai and I will deal with Tombstone. Once we have broken Tombstone in half, once Eli and Sawyer are eliminated, and incapable of feeding themselves except by means of a straw, I will personally ensure that you two become the EMERGE Tag team Champions by eliminating anyone who gets in your way.
 
He stops, which Niles takes as his chance to speak
 
Niles: And Mordecai?
 
Dante laughs
 
Dante: I’m pretty sure he has no desires on the titles either, but if he was to become a problem, I’ll take care of it. I have no loyalty to him, he is just a means to an end. But, I am a man of my word, and I WILL hand you the titles.
 
Corey: No shit?
 
Dante: None. This way, we both get what we want, and as a bonus you won’t have to worry about Tombstone coming for your new shiny title belts. Because they, like I, will be gone.
 
He holds out his hands
 
Dante: That’s the pitch, so what do you say?
 
Niles turns to Jodie
 
Niles: And do we have an alternative.
 
Dante laughs, a belly laugh that is perhaps even more ominous than his words
 
Dante: The alternative Mr Gray, is you become an enemy as opposed to an ally. I trust you are savvy enough to realize what that means?
 
Niles then turns to Corey
 
Niles: What you reckon bro?
 
Corey looks at Jodie, then at Dante and back to Niles.
 
Corey: I say we go for it…
 
Niles: And you think we can trust him?
 
The question is directed at Jodie, but Dante answers by grabbing Niles around the throat and pushing him backwards so that his back is against the door of the shack which buckles a little under the impact. Dante puts his face right in front of a scared Niles, staring deep into his soul
 
Dante: I gave you my word… do not now test my patience.
 
Jodie puts a hand on Dante’s shoulder, Dante turning his head
 
Jodie: We will take you up on your generous offer Dante. On behalf of the boys, I thank you.
 
Dante releases Niles, leaving him holding his throat.
 
Dante: You are more than welcome Ms O’Hara. Now, it would probably be a good idea if you pretty folk got out the forest and on your way home. There can be some pretty undesirables around here at night.
 
Jodie: Yes, of course. Goodnight
 
Jodie heads away from the shack, and Corey and Niles follow, Dante watching them go with a smirk on his face.
 
Dante: Idiots.
 
#LISTENUP
 
The scene opens with Jodie sat in the middle of Niles and Corey, a hand on each of their laps. She wears a skirt that is dangerously short, and a blouse open two buttons too many, whilst the boys are casual in shorts and a tee shirt, and both wear sunglasses. The scene pans out a little, and we now realize that they are on the deck of the Symphony of the Sea, the sun beaming down on them.
 
Niles: Hard life…
 
Jodie smirks, Corey nodding his head.
 
Niles: Let’s just get one thing straight off the bat shall we? There’s going to be a lot of things said over the next few hours, but let’s make it pretty clear. When it comes down to who is the best looking tag team in the World, you really do not need an Elimination Chamber to find the answer. Corey and Niles, The Heartbreakers ARE the reason there is so much interest in EMERGE’s tag team division, and not the predictability of SCW, and indeed GCW. We define trends, WE are ahead of the game, years ahead of our time. WE give every other tag team in this Chamber a purpose. Yes Beard, we are not stupid, we accept that you are indeed a fine specimen of a man…
 
Corey: And the Beard itself Niles
 
Niles: Yes, the beard itself is magnificent
 
Jodie fans her face with her hand.
 
Niles: But fella, you’re not in the same league of handsomeness that the Heartbreakers. So with all that said Corey, we are a little bit confused aren’t we?
 
Corey nods his head and begins to speak
 
Corey: That’s right, because if it is so easy to accept that Niles and I are ridiculously good looking, credit to Derek Zoolander, why can’t any of these teams accept that we are FAR, like another Universe or something, FAR more talented that any of them. I mean, Mordecai and Dante might have the monopoly on the darkity dark batshit crazy promos, and Beard might have the bod, and Brody be able to drink us all under the table. Tombstone might have the goat fucking… hold on, can I say that?
 
Jodie shrugs, Corey continues
 
Corey: Forgive me, Tombstone might have the inbred fucking down to a tee, and Lilith and Mya… well, that might fuck anything that will have them, even Benjamin Flynn.
 
Niles: And don’t get me started on the champs… or Heartbreaker version 0.5.
 
Corey: But none of them have the agility that we have
 
Niles: None of them have the speed that we have.
 
Corey: Somehow, we have been portrayed as the underdogs in this match, not given a chance whilst Tombstone have been pushed as if they are invincible. We’ve sat on the sidelines, treated the same as fucking Lilith and Mya, whilst Beard and Brody have come in on a shit ton of fanfare, for no apparent reason.
 
Niles: We had to watch the blatant copyright infringement from the Modern Marvels, and look on in shock as the fans have bought into this bullshit, when we are a million miles away from underdogs.
 
Corey: That’s right Niles, we are not the underdogs… we are the favorites to eliminate every other team in this match, no matter how big and daft they are.
 
Niles: We are the favorites because we are THAT GOOD!!!
 
Corey: Let’s play a game, see if you can guess who we are talking about. Do you really want to have EMERGE tag team champions, whose friendship has been up and down more than a whores drawers?
 
Niles: Or, do you want Champions whose depth of move consists of punch, slam, rinse and repeat?
 
Corey: Perhaps you’d like champions who spend more time on Twitter firing off double entendres with his fuck buddy, and his partner whose drunk all the time… a fine example
 
Niles: Or maybe Goat Rituals are your thing? Or wrestlers that played a little bit too much Resident Evil Seven than was good for them.
 
Corey: Or maybe you want to be represented by two people who claim to be ‘marvelous’ even though they won the EMERGE tag team championship by default, the number one choice for company bigwigs who wanted their ‘Yes’ men in place. Two people who somehow manage to make a simple Super Kick look bad.
 
Jodie squeezes his leg and smiles at him, Niles taking up the rhetoric.
 
Niles: Fact is, if you are really EMERGE fans, there is only one choice, one team that can carry this company forward and give EMERGE the ONLY tag team that they can be proud of. A team what can excite you the moment they step into an arena. Because Invasion: Symphony of the Sea can only end one way, because EMERGE is about to get an upgrade…
 
Corey nods, Jodie tilting her head to one side as Niles leans forwards.
 
Niles: Niles Gray and Corey Zenner NEW EMERGE tag team champions… and the also rans?
 
He turns to Jodie, who answers as seductively as she can
 
Jodie: Heartbroken.
 
With all three of them smirking, the scene fades.
