Scene: the Guardians training facility, the day before Solar Flare. Reckless is riding a stationary bike, while Valour is lounging on a bench nearby. Endgame is in the far corner of the room lifting weights.
Reckless: You excited about tomorrow, Valour?
Valour: Yeah, our big chance, a shot at both the Gladiators and the tag team titles. Surprising considering how much Massif hates me.
Reckless: Surprising maybe, but if Massif hated you I don’t think he’d have given us a shot at the titles when we haven’t even won a match all year.
Valour: No, he hates me. He thinks I’m just some undercard bum.
Reckless: Come on man, he does not. You sure you’re focused for tomorrow?
Valour: I’m ready. I’ll destroy them all, I’ll show the Aethrans who’s boss, and the Troubleshooters, too.
Reckless continues to ride the bike, while Valour turns his attention to a commercial for Neptunian Springs water showing on a nearby holovision set, where a reptilian-looking wrestlers appears in the spot.
Valour: Hey! That’s my commercial.
Reckless: Is that the one for the bottled water? Don’t you remember, every GWF wrestler got invited to appear in that spot?
Valour: They wanted me.
Reckless: They wanted any GWF wrestler, but they were shooting during GalaxyMania weekend, so no one could do it. Don’t you remember? We’ve already had this conversation.
Valour: Look at that stupid lizard guy they got to be in the commercial.
Reckless: What’s wrong with him?
Valour: He looks retarded.
Reckless: He’s an ani-man, what do you want him to look like?
Valour continues to gaze at the screen. At the conclusion of the commercial, a scrolling line appears underneath the reptilian ani-man that reads “coming soon to a GWF ring near you.”

NB Card 28 - GWF WARZONE
Io Coliseum, Jupiter
~~~
Massif is already standing in the ring as the show goes on the air.
Massif: According to GWF bylaws, when the holder of a secondary title is fortunate enough to win the federation’s primary title, said secondary title shall be vacated. Therefore, since Bloodline held the Inter-Planetary Title when he defeated Endgame for the Galactic Title at Solar Flare, the Inter-Planetary title is now officially vacant. Therefore, beginning tonight on WarZone, six men will have the opportunity to become the next GWF Inter-Planetary champion. After competing in qualifying matches this evening, the three winners will meet in a Tirion Triple Threat Match on the next WarZone to crown the new champ. Tonight the three qualifying matches will see Epoch take on Tauran, Disaster versus Kill Prey, and Encubus against Swarm!
~~~
- Latasha defeated Phantasy with the FREEDOM FALL
- Epoch pinned Tauran with an Epoch Slam
- Kill Prey topped Disaster by DQ
- Encubus forced Swarm to tap out to the MAFFEI MASTERLOCK
~~~
Clips of Valour’s recent matches and strange behavior are shown. Then, the video that recently aired of the Guardians training facility the day before Solar Flare is shown again in its’ entirety.
Reckless is riding a stationary bike, while Valour is lounging on a bench nearby. Endgame is in the far corner of the room lifting weights.
Reckless: You excited about tomorrow, Valour?
Valour: Yeah, our big chance, a shot at both the Gladiators and the tag team titles. Surprising considering how much Massif hates me.
Reckless: Surprising maybe, but if Massif hated you I don’t think he’d have given us a shot at the titles when we haven’t even won a match all year.
Valour: No, he hates me. He thinks I’m just some undercard bum.
Reckless: Come on man, he does not. You sure you’re focused for tomorrow?
Valour: I’m ready. I’ll destroy them all, I’ll show the Aethrans who’s boss, and the Troubleshooters, too.
Reckless continues to ride the bike, while Valour turns his attention to a commercial for Neptunian Springs water showing on a nearby holovision set, where a reptilian-looking wrestlers appears in the spot.
Valour: Hey! That’s my commercial.
Reckless: Is that the one for the bottled water? Don’t you remember, every GWF wrestler got invited to appear in that spot?
Valour: They wanted me.
Reckless: They wanted any GWF wrestler, but they were shooting during GalaxyMania weekend, so no one could do it. Don’t you remember? We’ve already had this conversation.
Valour: Look at that stupid lizard guy they got to be in the commercial.
Reckless: What’s wrong with him?
Valour: He looks retarded.
Reckless: He’s an ani-man, what do you want him to look like?
Valour continues to gaze at the screen. At the conclusion of the commercial, a scrolling line appears underneath the reptilian ani-man that reads “coming soon to a GWF ring near you.”
-----
The Guardians lackluster performance in the tag team title match at the PPV is then re-aired, followed by another video from their training facility, shot two days after Solar Flare:
Endgame and Reckless are engaged in a conversation, while Valour is working out in the ring.
Reckless: Man, the PPV wasn’t kind to us, was it?
Endgame: Yeah, but it’s just a temporary setback. Bloodline and I had a great match, and if I was going to lose the belt, at least it was against him in a nice, clean match.
Reckless: I did awful and even if he won’t say it, I know Valour is very disappointed with me.
Endgame: Well, I’m pretty disappointed with Valour lately…
Reckless: Yeah, but you know how he is, he’s always been a little temperamental.
Endgame: Calling Valour a “little” temperamental is like calling Vin Strutter a “little” talkative.
Reckless: Sure, Valour’s gotten a little weirder lately, but at least his heart is in the right place.
Endgame: It’s not his heart I’m worried about, it’s his head. That certainly isn’t right lately. Look at him.
Valour has taken a six-pack of Neptunian Springs water, with a picture of the reptilian Ani-Man on each bottle, and laid them out in the center of the ring. The slightly deranged former resident of the Second Realm then climbs up to the top turnbuckle and delivers a flying elbow to the water bottles! The force of the impact causes some of the bottles to explode, spewing water all over the ring! Valour then exits the ring, puts on one of his “I am not a bum” t-shirts and exits the room, leaving Endgame and Reckless shaking their heads in confusion.

NB Card 30 - GWF WARZONE
Polaris Interstellar Stadium, Ursa Minor
~~~
Swarm and Antak, each holding a bottle of Neptunian Springs water, are standing in the hallway outside the locker rooms engaged in casual conversation, when the topic turns to Valour and his recent antics.
Swarm: What is the deal with Valour? He used to be cool, now he’s just crazy.
Antak: I don’t know. He’s always had the propensity for strange behavior, but he’s certainly over the top lately.
Swarm: I just can’t believe how bad he is now.
Valour suddenly emerges from the shadows.
Valour: What’s that supposed to mean?
Antak: Calm down, man.
Valour (ranting): Calm down? Why does everyone in the GWF think I’m just some undercard bum? Now even you guys hate me? What have I done to deserve this treatment?
Swarm: Relax bro, no disrespect intended. It was just an observation.
Valour: Yeah right. I hear you’re bringing in that one freak from the Neptunian Springs commercial, if that ain’t disrespect to me, I don’t know what is.
Antak: It’s got nothing to do with you, Valour.
Valour: Like hell. That was my commercial and that reptilian Ani-Man freak took it away from me.
Swarm: You better watch your tongue, bro, or this Ani-Man will rip it out.
Valour: More disrespect. I used to think we were friends, but now you’re just like all the others. The Aethrans are jealous of me, Massif hates me, and now the Ani-Men are trying to hold me down.
Valour rips the bottle of Neptunian Springs water, which bears the likeness of the reptile-like Ani-Man, out of Swarm’s hands. Ripping the cap off, he dumps the remaining water over Swarm’s head, then rips the plastic bottle apart with his teeth.
Swarm (laughing): You want respect, Valour? Meet me in the middle of the ring at Galactic Gathering and earn my respect.
Valour: You got it! I’ll show you I’m not a bum. And next year, when that reptilian freak arrives, I’ll take him out too!

Valour is in Massif's office.
Valour: Look Massif, give me an Inter-Planetary Title match. I've proven I'm no bum. It doesn't matter that you hate me, just do your job and give me the title match.
Massif: Valour, I never said I hated you, just relax. But you're not in a position to demand an IP Title match. You're not the #1 contender, and even if you were, Encubus isn't even here tonight. Sorry, you're out of luck.
Valour begin to throw a tantrum, but Massif quickly speaks again.
Massif: However, if you really want a title shot...(Valour stops pouting and listens intently), I'll give you a match tonight against Kill Prey, Titan Death. And just to prove that I don't hate you, if you win, you get an Inter-Planetary Title Match at the 2120 Deimos Perennial show.
Valour, grinning with satisfaction, exits Massif's office.

- A few hours before the Galactic Gathering PPV -
Swarm and Valour are among a group of wrestlers – which also includes Antak, Minotaur, Payback, Endgame and GWF legend Death Masque – watching a holovision broadcast showcasing matches from the TWA (Tirion Wrestling Association) promotion. The gathered wrestlers, Swarm and Valour included, have been making small talk, and everyone appears to get getting along fine. Swarm had even complimented Valour on his recent match against Kill Prey, despite the recent tension between the two.
After several minutes, Swarm starts to become annoyed with TWA’s inferior product, not to mention the obvious low production quality of the show.
Swarm: You know what? This sucks.
Valour: Ehh…it’s not that bad.
Swarm: No. It sucks.
Valour’s demeanor quickly changes and he begins to get enraged.
Valour: How dare you attack my opinion!
Swarm (puzzled): What? All I said was TWA sucks. That’s just my opinion.
Valour: You’re only saying it sucks because I like it and you don’t like me. You’re just being a troll.
Swarm: No, I’m saying TWA sucks, because it sucks. It has nothing to do with you. Why are you taking my opinion so personally?
Antak: Just calm down Valour.
Payback: Yeah, relax man; nobody is criticizing your opinion. You have every right to like this, just as Swarm has every right not to.
Valour turns to face Payback.
Valour (in a whiny 4-year-old’s voice): You’re a joker. (then much louder) A joker!
Swarm (to Minotaur): This guy is a total psycho. One minute he’s ok, then he snaps.
Valour: You’re a joker too Minotaur, and so are you Antak. Massif’s a joker, the Gladiators are jokers, that stupid reptilian friend of yours is a joker, and Death Masque is a joker, too. But you, “bee boy,” you are the biggest joker of all. Yes, that is a personal attack, and since Massif is unfair and hates me, he’ll probably ban me for a while for saying that.”
The others are both confused and slightly humored by Valour’s outburst. Endgame walks over to Valour, but the latter walks away from him, and heads toward Swarm.
Valour: You can hate me all you want, you joker, I don’t care. TWA doesn’t suck and I am no undercard bum. (Valour is now screaming) Tonight, I’ll make you respect me!!!
Valour leaves and heads toward his dressing room.
Antak: What is with him lately, Endgame?
Endgame: If I only knew…
Swarm (laughing): Jokers! He called us jokers. That is the weakest insult I have ever heard.
Payback: No kidding. Does he really think that’s a bad word or something? Maybe if he called us f***ing jokers.
Swarm: Strong.

NB Card 34 - GALACTIC GATHERING
Amazon Arena; Bellatrix, Orion
- Stars & Stripes & Latasha defeated The Troubleshooters & Phantasy, when U.S. Male pinned The Bomb with the PATRIOT MISSILE (*** 1/2)
- Amazing Mann forced Tauran to tap to CONTORTION in a great encounter (**** 1/2)
- In a match of the year candidate, Sly Drury rolled up Bloodline after the latter missed a deathjump in a match that featured interference from Lorelei, Thantos and Encubus, along with 2 missed COSMIC BIG BANGs and a failed LAST CALL (*****)
~~~
SCENE: In the hallway outside the Ani-Men locker room.
Swarm: Man, I’m no shrink, but I think Valour is bi-polar or something. He’s always been a cool guy, but over the past few months, he’s changed.
Minotaur: Yup. A lot of this started when he saw Plethador in that Neptunian Springs commercial. He got really jealous and paranoid that people didn’t like and respect him.
Swarm: True. And hopefully Plethador will be a good fit with us. I’m not too keen on bringing this guy in just because he got a little publicity. I’d rather we add him on because he's capable in the ring.
Minotaur: Well, we’ll see. He’s been a decent wrestler, and Antak’s going to work with him a lot on his skills, so hopefully it’ll be cool.
Swarm: Did you hear that after our little spat this afternoon that Valour got on a message board and started talking smack about us and Payback and Death Masque?
Minotaur: How did you hear that? Been online all afternoon?
Swarm: Swarm does know everything, remember! But no, Antak found it. Some pathetic, second-rate message board that could never compete with the GWF’s official board. Calling us jokers again basically, along with some other second-grade insults.
Minotaur: Weak. What a freak.
Lorelei walks by and overhears the two talking.
Lorelei: How can you guys say that? Can’t you tell there’s something wrong with him? It’s obvious he needs help.
Minotaur: He does indeed need help, that’s obvious.
Lorelei: So why are you making fun of him? Payback’s been saying the same stuff all afternoon, too.
Swarm: Do you have a crush on him or something?
Lorelei (starting to blush): No, I just…er…well, he needs sympathy and help, that’s all.
Swarm: We know that. The best way to help him is to beat his a$$ tonight. Maybe that’ll knock some sense into him.

- COSMIC CAGE MATCH: Payback dominated the match, but then missed a deathjump and Steele Freak hit FRENZIED HEAD SLAMS for the win (***)
