MANCHESTER, ENGLAND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WARFARE
8TH APRIL 2020

I was watching Kris The Hammer Von Bonn's match from the comfort of an armchair in the locker room backstage. I was interested to see how Kris did, now that he knew I had been the main benefactor of the Misfits. Antony and Melanie 'Crayzee' Childs was once again as usual out there in the Arena supporting their stablemate, or 'client' according to Antony.

I know people would be asking why I wasn't out there supporting my 'client', my 'stablemate', my employee if you will, after all, he would be out there supporting me when I was having matches. That may be true, but I chose not to, today.

Even though it started out bad, and let's face it, Red-X isn't the best, after all, I have beaten him. But Red-X had the measure of Kris early. But watched as Kris slowly got back into the match. I was impressed. But then Rex-X got back on top, but almost had Kris beat, but Kris pulled out all he could muster and turn that around to finally put Red-X in a position to be put on his backside which he was. Kris was able to pull out a win. I thought he did well by coming back from a position of being dominated, to winning the match. Although to me, Red-X should have been dominated early, and taken out early.

When Antony, Melanie, and Kris returned to the locker room, I grabbed my bag and headed for the door. I stopped in front of Kris and held out my hand.

"Good come back dude,"

"Thank you sir,"

I looked at Antony and then back at Kris.

"I'm going to say something that I hope you won't take too personally,"

"No, by all means, I respect someone who has something they want to say to my face, and not waits. That's why I like Antony, and that's why I'm loyal to the Misfits, and you sir,"

I gave him half a smile.

"Very well. You were dominated from the start. Someone of Red-X's caliber, should really never dominate someone like yourself. You should have dominated Red-X from the get-go, you didn't. But I was impressed by how you came back and in the end, won. So that was pleasing to see. Well done."

"Thank you, I guess."

"You have work to do in the way of learning how to dominate, so I;m hoping that Antony will see to that over Easter, is that correct Antony?"

Both Kris and I looked at Antony.

"I'll get that sorted,"

I gave both Kris and Antony a quick smile and headed for the door.

"I'm heading back to New Zealand to spend Easter with my family, I'll catch you guys back in Miami, after Easter."

Antony nodded. I walked past Melanie.

"I expect to see you have a match sometime soon Miss Childs."

Melanie nodded, and smiled, and curtseyed to me. I continued out the door.

I knew I pissed Kris and Melanie off, but I didn't care. They needed my input to be brought up to speed. I wanted the Misfits to be a force in the XWF. And Antony, Kris, and Melanie were part of my plans for that. Kris and Melanie needed more work. I wanted to help Antony out to achieve that.

EN ROUTE FROM ENGLAND TO NEW ZEALAND

I was lost in thought on my way back to New Zealand, thinking about Maria and my 2 sets of twin children, Vin and Jacob, and Bernadette and Louise. I couldn't wait to see them again for Easter. It's been over a month since I've been home.

One of my aides walked up to me with a laptop.

"Sir, there's a Steve Sayors, on the line, requesting a few minutes of your time?"

I nodded, and my aide placed the laptop down in front of me, opened it, and walked away. I sat up, and Steve Sayor's face appeared on the screen.

"Mr. Sayors, how may I help you?"

"Mr. Mastermind, I'm sorry to be interrupting you, I just wanted to ask you a few questions about your upcoming match!!!"

"By all means Steve, ask away."

"You have another shot at the Hart Championship in two weeks time, how do you feel your chances are like at this stage?"

"My chances are 33.33 percent, just like my other two opponents. It's anyone's match. Not just one person's."

"By one person, you are meaning the Hart Champion himself, Centurion?"

I smirked.

"Take that with what you think I meant, Mr. Sayors!"

"But you are obviously meaning Centurion, are you not?"

"As I said, take what I said with whatever you think I meant, and that's all I am saying about that. Move on, Mr. Sayors."

"Okay let me rephrase and reword my question."

"By all means."

"Your opponents are Chris Chaos, and the defending Champion, Centurion. You have another chance of trying to defeat Centurion and win the Hart belt, but out of the three of you, you are the weakest, what do you make of that?"

"Who said I am the weakest of the three, Mr. Sayors? You?"

I watched Steve squirm in his seat on the other side of the computer.

"No Mr. Mastermind. I didn't say that. But it's quite obvious your opponents will, and would."

"I will address them myself about that, the interview is now over."

I slammed the laptop closed, and threw it down the aisle of the plane, and looked out of the window of the plane.

GOOD FRIDAY
10TH APRIL 2020
MASTERMIND'S MANSION
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND

The camera fades into the thinking room of Mastermind, and it finds him sitting in his chair staring at the camera.

"Chris Chaos, and Centurion, the key question here, is if you guys think I am the weakest. Now here's the thing. If you both think I am the weakest, then you both are doomed to fall into that hole, and you will squander a great opportunity. I will take the opportunity and run with it Because if you underestimate me, it will be at both your perils.

"I know that I am the strongest minded person amongst the three of us, and I will use my mental sharpness to outperform you both. No, not only outperform, but also get inside your heads, and take you both apart.

"Centurion, while your reign as Hart Champion has been immense, it has also become stale, boring, and tiring to watch. The sooner you admit that to yourself, the sooner you can move on, we can all move on.

"You may be in the position of being the 2nd best Hart Champion of all time, but you squandered away the fact that you are the most popular, the most extreme, the most avid Hart Champion of the current two years. Tony Santos had the best reign. He never became stale like a loaf of bread, unlike you. He, in the end, beat himself into a standstill that you took advantage of.

"But because you have become stale and crusty like a little old lady, just like you did with Tony, I will do to you, and, come in, and take that precious Hart Championship from you, and your goal of becoming the best Hart Champion of all time will be just that, an afterthought.

"Now moving along to Chris Chaos. We both know that you have too much forward-thinking going on, your mind is what you are about, Chaotic. You are like your name, the most Chaotic person out there.

"Trust me when I say this Chris. I can see in your mind. I can make sense of your chaoticness. But can the same be said for you? I don't think you even know how to clear your mind because you are always babbling away, like someone on drugs such as LSD. Because with people on LSD they don't make sense. You don't make much sense Christopher. Do you even understand the sense you make?

"Where were you in the early days of Centurion's reign, Chris? Hiding like the coward that you are. You had the chance to use your free token into any Hart Championship match, but you never took it. Why? Because you were scared of Centurion? Because you wanted to wait until there was a weak Hart champion? Then you would scoot in, and be a hero. That's right I see right through you Christopher. You are forced to use your free token, and therefore you are not going to win the Hart Championship, because you don't have the balls to win it. I do, and I will.

"At the end of this match I will be holding the Hart Championship above the carcasses of 'The mother fucking boring ass' Centurion and Christopher 'I'm too scared to face Centurion because I've lost my balls,' Chaos. It's my time to rise, and rise I will do. What's so boring about that?

"Now if you guys can excuse me, I'd like to enjoy the rest of this Easter weekend with my family."

Mastermind stands up, and storms out of his Thinking Room. The camera fades out.
