A limo drove up to a house, and it came to a halt. The door opened, and out stepped Mastermind. He was dressed in a business suit, and was looking really smart. He had been back in New Zealand for a day now, since he lost to Monolith at Wednesday Night Warfare in China. He had also lost on Monday in the first round King of the Ring Tournament. He was due to go back to the States to face Ghost Tank on Monday Night Madness. He felt he needed a night off.

He walked up to the door of the house, and knocked. The door opened, and standing right in front of him was Maria, who he had met on a day off in a pub a few months ago, they went out for a meal, but hadn't been in touch since, as Mastermind got too busy.

Maria was standing there in a red dress, red shoes, she had a blue top, and her hair was down. She looked beautiful and stunning. Mastermind could not believe what he was seeing.

MARIA: "Are you going to stand there, or are you going to say something?"

Mastermind gulped, and tried to find the right words.

MASTERMIND: "You look amazing, you look beautiful."

MARIA: "See that wasn't hard was it?"

Mastermind laughed.

MASTERMIND: "Shall we go?"

MARIA: "We shall."

Mastermind held out his arm, and Maria took it, and wrapped her arm around his, and Mastermind led her to the limo.

MARIA: "I must say you look spiffing yourself."

Mastermind smiled.

MASTERMIND: "I hate wearing suits, but I'm making an except for tonight."

MARIA: "I'm glad to hear it.."

Mastermind opened the limo door, and stood there waiting for Maria, who smiled, and climbed into it, Mastermind followed and shut the door. He pushed a button on the side door.

MASTERMIND: "Jackson can you take us to the destination please."

JACKSON: "Yes sir."

The limo pulled away.

MARIA: "I hope I'm not stopping you from training for your match with Ghost Tank. I wouldn't want to interfere with that."

Mastermind looked at her.

MASTERMIND: "No Maria you are not. After I'm through with him on Monday, he'll be feeling like a stunned mullet."

Mastermind laughed. Then Maria did too.

MASTERMIND: "Besides, I have missed you, and wanted to see you again. Nothing else matters at the moment, I need time out to recover from my last two losses."

MARIA: "I saw King of the Ring, you should have won your first round match at least."

MASTERMIND: "I was robbed, the least said about that the better, and as for Monolith, I underestimated him, and as a result he won, .taking nothing away from him, he was good."

MARIA: "And what about Ghost Tank?"

MASTERMIND: "I've got his number, he thinks he's a beast, I've slayed many a beast in my time, people who call themselves Beasts, and think they are animalistic and crazy, well sorry to say Ghost Tank, I've beaten those types.."

Maria smiled.

MARIA: "It does sound like you are ready to face him?"

MASTERMIND: "Almost ready, tonight I am just going to enjoy myself, then head back to the States tomorrow."

Maria smiled, Mastermind did too. They looked at one another, the attraction was starting to rise. The silence was deafening.

Mastermind is seen sitting in his chair, he faces the camera.

"Ghost Tank, you call yourself a beast., not just any type of beast but a new breed of Beast. A new kind of Monster, one that can hunt me down, put me through pain, and destroy me at will."

Mastermind starts laughing.

"Been there done that Ghost Tank. You need to think of some other way of scaring me. I've come up against different types of Beasts in the past, and I've been able to take them with a grain of salt. I've been able to come out on the winning side.

"You don't scare me, in fact anyone calling themselves Beasts, makes me rise to another level, and this coming Monday I will be rising to the level of Beast Slayer, Ghost Buster, a perfect machine, because why? Because I am that dam good. Maybe by Win to Loss ratio is bad, but I don't care. I turn up and compete, I turn up and try to win. I turn up to win.

"And this coming Monday, when I have you squirming around like a Stunned Mullet, like a fish out of water, like a Beast who has come up against a Slayer, like a Ghost who has come up against a Ghost Buster, then you will be the one on the wrong side of the ledger.

"Oh and I'm hearing voices already Ghost Tank. Do you want to know what I am hearing? They are saying...

"Slay the Beast.... Kill the Beast.... Stop the Beast that is Ghost Tank.... Slay the Beast.... Stop the Beast.

"I'm ready for you Ghost Tank. Are you ready for me? Higher Power or no Higher Power, they aren't going to stop me. Nothing can. You be ending up in my Mind Controller like a Stunned Mullet, getting ready to tap out. Then I will say to those voices.

"The Beast Has been slained."

Mastermind starts laughing again, and then the camera starts to fade out.
