Mastermind is sitting in the airport lounge, waiting for his private jet to be ready. He was heading straight to Tampa Bay, Florida, earlier than expected because he had just been to a visit with Doctor Louis D'Ville. He was trying to get his head sorted so he could patch things up with his father. Suddenly his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller display.


He smiles and answers it.

"Hey Babe what's up?"

MARIA: "I just wanted to hear your voice. You don't have a match Monday, so I thought you would have made a quick detour home."

"I was but I detoured elsewhere Babe, I had to see someone in order to get my head sorted."

MARIA: "Oh okay, how did that go?"

"Pretty good actually, I felt I got more out of one session than a whole lot of sessions full put together."

MARIA: "Wow, really, that's impressive. Who did you see?"

"Doctor Louis D'Ville."

MARIA: "Oh... Oh... Okay."

Mastermind could tell the tone in Maria's voice was not good.

"What's wrong Babe?"

MARIA: "No... Nothing."

"Come on Maria, I know your tones. Tell me what you are thinking."

MARIA: "Well do you think it was safe to go Doctor D'Ville, I mean he's one of your many opponents."

"Look, he may have taken my X-Treme Belt, and I may have spoken out against him but we both have an understanding. He's one of a few people who I trust and admire. He is after all the new Universal Champion."

MARIA: "But he's just joined a cult."

Mastermind smiled.

"It's called a stable Babe. And you know my views on joining stables. I don't. Because I don't trust anyone."

MARIA: "Your father said you were double crossed by an old tag team partner. I read the article."

"So you see my distrust for tag teaming and joining stables."

MARIA: "I hear what you are saying, but please be careful when seeing the Doc again. He seems evil."

Mastermind's Co Pilot of his Private Jet, walked up, and gave him the thumbs up sign, that it was time to go.

"Don't worry about it Babe, I'm not seeing the Doc again, once was enough to work. Hey I have to go, my planes ready to fly to Tampa Bay. I'll definitely be home after Wednesday."

MARIA: "Okay I'll look forward to it. Beat Baa Face and the Shining Armor of nothing."

Mastermind smiles.

"I think you mean Goat Face and Aerial Knight."

MARIA: "Yeah those two. I'll let you go, I love you."

"Love you too."

Mastermind closed his cell phone, and nodded at the co-pilot. He got up and followed him.

Half an hour into the flight Mastermind fell asleep. He started to focus in on some of the stuff the Doc had said to him.

---

This evil that took over your life was proving to you that there is evil in you.

Evil that can change your XWF career and turn the tables on everyone around you.

He wasn't trying to hurt you, my friend. He was trying to help you.

He was trying to help you.

He was trying to help you.

You call yourself the Master of Minds, so open your mind a bit and consider what I have told you.

Show each of your opponents what you are truly capable of, Mastermind.

Don't let the anger drown you like it did once before.

Embrace it.

Embrace it.

Embrace it.

Use it against your opponent and bring them to their knees.

It's time to take control of your own life and instead of running from those feelings inside, start using them to your advantage.

Start using them.

Start using them.

Start using them.

Those demons inside of you can be manipulated and molded into something that YOU want.

Manipulated and molded

Manipulated and molded

Manipulated and molded

Something YOU want.

Something YOU want.

Something YOU want.

But you will surely reap the benefits from this transition. Look deep inside yourself Mastermind and take hold of the monster and let him out.

Look deep inside yourself.

Look deep inside yourself.

Take hold of the Monster

Take hold of the Monster

Let him out.

Let him out.

Let him out.

NOW

Mastermind awoke with a start. He sat up on the couch. His face was all sweaty. He felt himself shaking.

"What the fuck was that all about?"

Mastermind got up and headed for the bathroom. He opened the door and walked in. He poured some water into the sink. He looked at himself in the mirror.

"Will you calm yourself down, it was just a dream."

Mastermind placed his head over the sink, and splashed water onto his face. He looked back up at his reflection, breathed in, and out.

"Again it was just a dream."

Mastermind let the water out, and dried his face. He opened the door to the bath room. The co-pilot was standing there.

"Is everything okay sir?"

"Everything's fine thanks."

"Okay then, just letting you know that we are a couple of hours out from Tampa Bay."

"Thanks I'll try and get some more sleep."

The Co Pilot went back to cabin, whilst Mastermind went back to his couch and sat down. He laid back down and just tried to think what he had to do. How he needed to trust TJ Wallace would turn up and provide some great promos. Could he trust him? Only time will tell. He also had to deal with Goat Face Killa and Aerial Knight.

---

"So here we are, finally, finally, someone else has decided to show up for our match. And yet it's not my tag team partner TJ Wallace. Wallace you better show up, or there'll be hell to pay. As for Aerial Knight, he's too busy running around getting ready to challenge Gator to yet another match which he will lose in again. Booooooorrrrrringg.

"So that brings me to Goat Face Killa. The new man here in the XWF. I must say Goat Face, I was impressed with you and how your handled your matches, but since you brought up yet another point that so many of my opponents bring up, then I'm so disappointed in you. Instead of acting like one of your precious Goats, you instead act like a Sheep and follow the other sheep and rehash old stuff. Come on Man be more creative. Can you do that? I don't think you can.

"I want to bring up something you said, so let's play that part."

Goat Face Killa Said:Let's play a game called win against someone that's relevant.

"Ha, ha, that's funny, that's the pot calling the kettle black. Let's play that game and see where it gets us hey. See who's the first to become relevant. All my wins have been relevant, but that doesn't matter. I was rooting for you when you took on the Doc for the X-treme Championship, but you let me down. You let yourself down, and you let everyone else down around you. You couldn't pull of a win against the most relevant person here in the XWF. So mate don't be throwing stones at glass houses if you can't fix the windows.

"That's all I have to say on the matter for now."
