Date: September 12, 2014
Location: An empty field in Denver, Colorado

Johnathan Heartsford is standing perfectly still with his arms outstretched, letting the wind blow past him gently. His eyes are closed, almost like he's in a trance like state with the world around him. The Heavy Metal belt is wrapped around his left shoulder, as he continues to assume the Jesus Christ pose. A small smile can be seen on his face, clearly enjoying the peace that the field provides him. He takes a deep breath in and slowly exhales it before he opens his eyes. He lowers his arms slowly as he takes a knee on the soil below him.

"Beautiful, isn't it? It's much better than being crammed in the cities of smog and salt water. It's also much better than being stuck inside a house full of past memorabilia and former glories. Unfortunately, it seems that my opponent didn't get the memo that the outside world is much better than a dusty mansion."

The knight emits a small chortle.

"Sometimes, it's just better to relax and observe the world around you and enjoy yourself. You know what? I think this is all I need to give me confidence in my upcoming match against the Mastermind. At least, that's what I would call him if everything that spewed out of his mouth recently wasn't a complete lie."

He stands up and cracks his neck a bit.

"I have to get ready to train Christian Gunn for his match against Gilmour in a couple weeks, so I'll make this quick. You say that I am the favorite, but it's clear to me that everyone is labeling you as the underdog. Everyone loves the underdog, that's for damn sure. However, knowing that you're up against me, one of the more real fighters, the one that's closer to the ground compared to the likes of you? You might as well keep the line of losses going, because it won't stop with me."

"Also, some of the insults that you threw at me don't even make sense. Why would I want to get away from my first name? Is it because I'm ashamed of my name? I wouldn't think so, my real first name comes right after "Aerial Knight", so that definitely can't be it. If you had a family? What are you talking about? You're the one who disobeys his father to the point of him just handing you over to a complete stranger! You'd have to fuck up pretty badly in life if you manage to reach that low. It's clear to me that you gave up on your family long before I did. Hell, I'm still in contact with my parents! What about you? You seem to be stuck inside that mansion of yours full of achievements that you can never reach again."

He stretches his legs out a bit before continuing.

"My sister fucked up on her own. She didn't cost me a match, she cost the entire Heartsford family a match. That's just inexcusable, so she deserves the punishment that she received from me. When you disgrace the Heartsford family, you disgrace every family in the entire world. You already did a good job disgracing your own. Hell, I don't even need to say anything more about how badly you fucked up! You can just continue talking about how your family relationship is better until the cows come home; my family still has hope for me."

He laughs as he cracks his lower back. Loud popping is heard.

"The groundhog calls himself the predator, eh? This mountain lion has your number, and that number is catching up very fast. I'm here to make sure that you never reach Sir Gator or win that little gauntlet that you're so dead set on. I've lost enough times to know that I haven't been hitting hard enough. Now I know for a fact that in order to make fighters like you to come down, I have to knock you flat on your ass and give you a taste of what knighthood feels like. If you don't like it, you are more than welcome to give up on me like your father gave up on you. Reality is cruel, but it can also become a benefactor to getting you back to where you belong: the bottom of the ladder."

The knight smirks.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready to train an eight year old to kick a grown man's ass. I'm sure that Christian will one day grow up to become a great person. Better than you could ever hope for."

He then turns away from the camera, walking away from the field of nothing. The scene fades out with the sun shining brightly on the path Johnathan walks on.
