We open as a cab pulls up in front of a hotel. Conner and Rasputin get out, Conner looks weakened and struggling a little to keep up with Rasputin who slows down.
Rasputin Ito- Problem there Hoss?
Conner Edge- Nothing an ice bath wouldn't fix.
Rasputin Ito- You want me to find a store or just hope the ice machine here can handle it?
Conner Edge- I just want to get to the damn room without stopping and I'll figure it out from there.
Rasputin Ito- Probably wouldn't kill you to just take a Tylenol with 20 beers and a bottle of whiskey tonight.
Conner Edge- We'll see, but the odds aren't in that favor.
As Conner and Rasputin reach the lobby the receptionist starts waving to them. They amble over to her.
Receptionist- Thưa ông, có người đang đợi ông trong phòng. Anh ta bắt tôi phải đưa chìa khóa cho anh ta, bạn nên lo lắng, anh ta có một đầu lâu vẽ trên mặt và một người đàn ông lớn với anh ta.
Conner Edge- You speak Vietnamese?
Rasputin Ito- No, um Nihongo hanasemasu ka?
The receptionist stares confused.
Receptionist-Monsieur, une personne effrayante m'a forcé à lui donner la clé de votre chambre.
Conner Edge- I don't speak French either.
Rasputin Ito- I know enough she called you sir and said something about your room.
Conner Edge- Bella speaks French, what time is it in the States?
Rasputin Ito- Like, 9 in the morning I think.
Conner Edge- Fuck it, hopefully it isn't important, cảm ơn.
The receptionist smiles as the two walk to the elevator and get on and push the button for their floor.
Rasputin Ito- First person we've encountered who didn;t speak english.
Conner Edge- Probably should have stayed at the Empire recommened Hotel, but oh no, we pick the one closest to a steak house.
They get out of the elevator and walk to their room. They open the door and hear the TV going. They drop their bags and seem ready for a fight, when they turn the corner they see two figures, only lit by the picture on the TV, one is seated and a rather large figure stands behind him.
Mystery Man- Conner, Ito-san I was wondering how much longer it was going to be, but I imagine Conner took a rather long time at the medics table tonight.
Rasputin turns on the light and we see a man with a skull painted on his face, dressed in a business suit, but having a Insane Clown Posse shirt on underneath. Behind him is an very big African American fellow wearing a full nice business suit.
Conner Edge- Redentor, what brings you to Vietnam?
Redentor- Achilles and I had a meeting with Mark tonight, unfortunately Travis Blake put the kibosh on that.It would have been fun, he'd offer one amount, we'd ask for more, maybe I would have signed, I can't say for sure, what about you Achilles?
Achilles Freeman- Who's to say, who's to say.
Redentor- Ito-san, you remember Achilles, I believe your last match in Japan was against him, no?
Rasputin Ito- What do you want Juan Carlos, it's late.
Redentor- That it is. I just wanted to come by and see some old friends while I was in country, even though you didn't bother to stop by and say hi to me when you were in Japan, but I imagine there was just so many others to see and such little time.
Conner Edge- Alright, you said hi, now leave.
Redentor- Conner, why are you doing this to yourself?
Conner Edge- Cause I don't really like you and am tired.
Redentor- The tired thing Conner, I saw your match tonight. You are coming off a brutal match against a guy who probably turned some of your organs into mush, and you race back in to a brutal match with a former world champion? Boy, have you that little of sense.
Conner Edge- I'm tough enough.
Redentor- The sad thing is your not all brawn and no brains, you have brains but instead you insist on rushing into danger head long. You should have rested this week, you have a match with another former world champion next week, a guy who brutalized your own father, a very tough indiviual and now your going into that at what, fifty percent at best?
Conner Edge- I'm not worried about it Redentor.
Redentor- You two, you train like mma fighters but I never see you use it. How long do you really think Prophet would have lasted if you came out and kickboxed him tonight? You think he knows how to block those moves, or a big guy like you, I doubt he'd have ever been kicked in the leg that hard, probably would have fallen down bawling.
Rasputin Ito- I don't care if you brought the ogre with you tonight, do you really want us to toss you out?
Achilles starts to move forward for a fight but Redentor stands and stops him.
Redentor- No no Achilles, you see Ito-San is just upset that his partner isn't living up to his side of things lately. He views the American competition as weak and has lost interest, hasn't he?
Rasputin Ito- Something like that.
Redentor- Maybe, he needs the right motivation, or maybe, he needs to be replaced.
Rasputin just stares at him, Redentor begins to leave but stops in front of the duo.
Redentor- You don't have to like me, but I've already spoken with Dave, we booked a nice little resort in Thailand to stay at for the next week. He thinks you need my advice and well, I'm still waiting to have my meeting with Mark, so I think I'll help you guys find your way.
Redentor opens the door and outside sits a bell boy with a cart full of ice bags.
Redentor- I had a feeling you'd need these Conner, try and relax, we've got a long week ahead of us.
Redentor and Achilles leave the room, Conner grabs the cart and thanks the man.
Rasputin Ito- You think Dave really wants us to do this?
Conner Edge-I have no idea nor the compacity to think right now. But, you know, I think this might be good for Shogun.
Rasputin Ito- If we can get his fat ass to even show up.
Conner takes the ice in the bathroom and closes the door as as Rasputin goes and sits down.
Rasputin Ito- Problem there Hoss?
Conner Edge- Nothing an ice bath wouldn't fix.
