OOC: What do you people think of this whole riot thing? Drop me an email and let me know.

Scene opens at Huntin's Dojo in Chicago, a couple of city blocks from the arena. Outside are, as always, a bunch of protesters blocking the way to the dojo. These people are carrying signs saying "Martial Arts is dangerous", "Evil people are here", and "Teach children ethics, not violence". Outside, we see John Taylor carring a gym bag around his shoulder, trying to get into the dojo.

JT: Don't these guys give it a break already? Or did I just provide the perfect scape goat to them? Hopefully I didn't.

Allison Kempt comes up behind him, with her own gym bag in hand, and walks up beside him.

AK: It's been a week and they are still at it? Man, you must have provided one hell of an excuse for them.

JT: You should see them outside my apartment. They like to throw rocks and fruits at me. The fruit I don't mind because I made a good salad. But the rocks hurt my windows.

AK: And we have a class in about twenty minutes. We really don't need this.

Sean Huntin appears and keeps walking past them, towards the picket line.

AK: What is he doing?

JT: He's suicidal!!!

The line sees Huntin and encircles him, yelling and screaming and moving their signs up and then. Huntin snaps, grabs one of the signs, and breaks it in half, causing most of them to yell louder.

SH: ALL OF YOU SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!!!!

They all stop talking.

SH: We have already taken responsablity for this act, and yet you continue to pester us because we teach people martial arts? Do you even know why?

AK: Oh no.

JT: He's gone off the deep end. It was nice knowing him.

SH: So that they can learn more than just how to hurt people. They learn respect for each other and themselves, they learn to concentrate, to improve their minds as well as their bodies. That is what I teach them, and that's what I exercise the most about these classes. Now, if you mind, please move out of the way.

Huntin moves on ahead, followed by Taylor and Kempt.

JT: It worked, that's a first.

AK: I was expecting them to call him a heritic or something and burn him at the stake. Almost made me wish I had marshmellows.

They enter the dojo and Huntin drops his bag and looks out the window.

AK: Are they gone?

SH: It looks like they are bringing in a catapult of somekind and are putting flaming rocks on it.

JT: As long as it isn't anything dangerous.

AK: Do you two need to make a joke about everything?

JT & SH: Yes.

Kempt gets upset and walks into the women's dressing room.

JT: So, what are they really doing out there?

SH: Well, most of them are gone, the others are using their signs to burn this building down.

JT: Thanks, Sean, you've killed us all.......at least the building. Hope they don't do it during class. Don't need people running crazy and having more property damage added to my list of bad things.

SH: Yeah, we really don't need this. Oh look, it's Steve Ryder with a cameraman trying to get past the remaing protesters.

JT: Any success?

SH: They are beating them up with their signs!

JT: Wow, that sucks. I guess I should go down there and help them.

Taylor stands still for a moment.

SH: When are you going to do so?

JT: I'm going to do so shortly.............ok, guess now will do.

Taylor goes outside to see Ryder and the cameraman getting beat up on more. The protesters get tired and walk away, leaving Ryder there.

JT: Hey Ryder, can you here me?

Ryder looks unconscience.

JT: I guess your here to ask me about my match with Wild Thing tomorrow? I've alreayd said what I was going to say yesterday. But it appears Wild Thing will not be taking me lightly. Wild Thing also knows I've been training my entire life to prepare for just about any situation. He's right, and he's getting prepared the smae way I am.

Because this isn't just a regular match, this is a title match. But Wild Thing, I'm not going to underestmate you in anyway. As a matter of fact I do have some respect for you, but this is a title, a title that I'm going to bring back to the level is belongs.

And just because DBR says he's not interfering, doesn't mean he's not thinking of it. Because the love of his life is in the area, and might get in the way. I'm not going to hurt her, but she better stay out of the way or else she is going to get hurt.

You still with me, Ryder?

Ryder is still out cold.

JT: Good. Because tomorrow night, I will become the IC Champion yet again, and that's a fact.

Hey Ryder, interview's done, get going.......ok, lay dthere why don't you, just have fun or something, ok?

Taylor walks away as the scene fades.
