Charles Vs. Florida Man Vs. Chris Sanderson

[MasterEvil]

OOC Episode Number: 026. Name: Fix Match: Charles Vs. Florida Man Vs. Chris Sanderson Note(s): I don’t feel like I deserve to be in this match but thank you Flo and Chris for allowing me to be involved in this.

“The ends justifies the means.” Niccolò Machiavelli Over and over again the same clip plays across the blank wall…of Florida Man having his shirt and gold chain ripped off. Over and over again it plays, as if trapped in an infinite loop, while sitting in front of said wall is a leather chair. A chair that swivels around to face us, revealing the powerhouse known as Rin Kubo in the process as sitting on her lap, getting his head stroked in a Doctor Claw-esque way, is Charles. Rin Kubo “Florida Man…crocodile…alligator…maybe fool should be what you’re known as instead. A fool who admittedly won the Junior Heavyweight Championship in the past, as well as to be currently holding the YTA Championship…but a fool nevertheless. Why, you ask? The answer is simpler than the question, Florida Man… It all started in a maze back in April… When I failed to beat Bloodied Fox for the Junior Heavyweight Championship.” The brunette face falls for a moment, as if reminiscing a bitter memory, before returning her attention to us. Rin Kubo “Even when Nausicaä, Shizuku, Hayley and Maple all try to comfort me…I felt lower than low…for letting SKY Force down. But it was then, when I felt completely inconsolable, that Charles here told me of a plan…a plan so stupid…a plan so risky…a plan so eccentric…that it might just work. For if none of us at SKY Force can take the belt from the fox… What if someone else…an easy to manipulate fool…could do it for us?” Miss Kubo tilts her head with a somewhat condescending smirk marching across her face. Rin Kubo “Don’t you see, Florida? Hayley was never in Charles’ ear…he was in all of our ears. He allowed you to bond with us. He made you believe that you were friends with all of us. He tricked you into thinking that we value you as a possible link between us and our American fans. He even demeaned himself in allowing you to team up with him and even calling the team…American Pussy. I admit to questioning Charles, on multiple occasions, of why you - out of all people - Florida…but, with that confidence Charles gave you, then you did exactly like he told me you would…in dethroning the fox. So all that was left was for him to break your fragile, little, heart and then beat you so that we, at SKY Force, can hold that Championship together.” The clip on the wall finally changes to a montage of exercises between Charles and Tabby Scratch. These exercises range from her trying to play catch with him - but ends up running after the ball herself because he refuses to move - and trying to out scratch each other with Kira Izumi’s leather sofa to Tabby repeatedly losing arm wrestling contests to her older brother. Rin Kubo “Hell we not only brought his sister into the group to secretly train him for this match but also got him clothes to hide among the fans as he watches how you compete. Taking note of every strength to avoid and every weakness to capitalise on. Don’t you see, Florida Man? You were the fool…nonono…you were a ball of yarn for Charles to play with before he buries your remains and leaves Long Beach, California, with the Junior Heavyweight Championship… But then Chris Sanderson RUINED EVERYTHING BY STEALING THE BELT!” One of J-ROK’s Trios Champions screams out before lifting Charles up and pointing his blank, emotionless, face directly at us. Rin Kubo “Don’t you see how angry you’ve made Charles. Everything was going exactly as he planned…until you had to ruin it. Now we do understand that it is easy to overcome the kind of desperation that comes with being too dreadful to win anything worthwhile for almost two years. But desperation has now opened up a door you did not want to open, nor able to close no matter how hard you try. Look into Charles’ eyes, these are the eyes of a feline whose intelligence helped run a company of some rather unruly sorts, a feline whose foresight is proven the moment Florida Man defeated Bloodied Fox and a feline whose claws have been sharpened and ready to unleash his entire wrath upon y-” Hatred is practically frothing from each word departing Rin’s lips but she suddenly snaps out of her focus to blink down at Charles in surprise. Has the sole male member of SKY Force interrupted her? Confused by this the brunette lifts him up to her ear, only to have her eyes open wide in surprise at what she’s apparently hearing and even mouthed ‘you sure?’ to him before nodding to the cat and placing him back down on her lap so both their attentions could return to us. Rin Kubo “You may enter the ring with words declaring that ‘wrestlers been countin’ me out’ out loud…but Charles will never count you out now, Chris. If you were simply someone who slipped into this match then maybe Charles would’ve but now that you are holding his belt there is no way you’ll ever be overlooked again. If anything your stealing is actually more of a mere inconvenience to him and a poisoned chalice to you than an actual problem…hell…you’ll probably be the challenge that will entertain Charles and actually give him an actual exercise, at least more than Florida would or Desolation did a couple years ago, before he tears his belt away from your cold, motionless, hands. Why? Three simple words that you should understand… Family over everything.” A smirk etches itself across the brunette’s face as…wait…where did that picture of Kayleigh come from and when did it get between Charles’ front paws? Rin Kubo “You understand the importance of family…right? After all, why else would you go through rehab…right? Well guess what? Every aspect of this road, of Charles’ plan to take your Title, including this minor detour, has all been for his own family. We at SKY Force are each other’s family…but Charles also has his own little family, with his wife Darla and his adorable children. Adorable children that he is saving college funds for, funds which the extra pay of Championship gold can be extremely helpful towards, and adorable children that he isn’t ashamed about watching him compete. Though…this twerp here-” Miss Kubo touches the edges of the picture without taking it away from Charles’ paws. Rin Kubo “-makes Florida Man look like a glamour model.” The pair effortlessly rips the picture in half, doing so horizontally to give the image of beheading a small child. Rin Kubo “But I do hope little Kayleigh is watching…hell, Charles already reserved a couple of front row seats for your girl, as well as a plus one of your choice since he knows that she needs an appropriate adult with her. After all…she’ll need someone to wipe her little tears as watch Charles play with both her dad and Florida Man like they are merely mice for him to toy with before devouring the both of them. What is that, Chris? You’re worried about finally letting your child see the failure that you truly are? Don’t worry about it…for Charles has already considered such an inevitability… And already paid a local rehabilitation centre to welcome you with open arms - as well as a local fostering care service for Kayleigh - the moment you fall to temptation like the addict you are…after all…like Charles always says…” A self-satisfied smirk scratches itself across the brunette’s face. Rin Kubo “Once an addict, always an addict.” The wall behind the pair changes to show a photoshopped image of Charles sitting on top of both of his opponents while having a miniature Junior Heavyweight Championship wrapped around the cat’s waist. Rin Kubo “Just like how Chris Sanderson, the thief who simply doesn't belong here, has an addiction to failure…Florida Man, whose gullibility we at SKY Force will always be grateful for, has an addiction to being made to look the fool…and Charles - The Super Real, Super Cool, Feline - has addiction to success after success. And at Supremacy, in the middle of Long Beach, Charles will make personally sure everyone gets their fix.” The smirk on Rin’s face actually grew after finishing her words before holding tightly onto Charles as she stood up from her seat and walked away, inadvertently nudging us a little toward the right as she accidentally brushed against us. Thus leaving the last thing we see until fading to black, other than the seat and the imagery on the back wall, is a second chair with Shizuku’s name on it…was she supposed to be here? Is so…why wasn’t she?
