"I would expect nothing less Remington. Take a moment to look at who is here even though we are two short but that is fine. I figured a few would pass on my invitation. You see, as I will make clear in just a few moments this is not about anyone bowing to me. But this is a business meeting and you might just be surprised enough to consider what I have to say."
Thor turns to look over at Rocky J's as his out burst splits the air then shakes his head. He had to laugh as he knew the man was plastered and probably had blood in his alcohol system. Turning his attention to the newly arrived Mark Dread and smiles underneath his mask. Only two were missing and even if they didn't show he had enough people there to start his speech. He walks to the head of the table and nods to Remington as he clears his throat.
"Greetings my fellow EHWF members. It would seem that you have decided to accept my hospitality for the afternoon and for that I am greatly appreciative. Some of you are probably thinking that I called you here to toot my own horn and tell you how the world needs me. Well you are partially right but I am not here to do boring presentation. Now let me get down to business, I built this arena for a now defunct but once great wrestling company. However, the history of this place is not why I called here. No I have called you here because of the Empire of Blood."
Thor stops speaking for a moment and then slowly takes off his mask so that all could see his burn scarred face.
"I called each of you here today because I have seen and heard about your passion in the ring. Each of you have an intensity that matches my own and don't know the meaning of the quit. This facial injury was gained when an opponent threw gun powder in my face then lit it on fire. Most people would have just taken a break from the business to heal up. I simply donned a mask and I suspect that head of you would have done the same. Now the information packets in front of you highlight the Imperial Enterprises and the Empire of Blood. Which are really one and the same but among those highlights you will see that the Empire of Blood has strong in ring championship legacy. Many of you in this room have been looked over and ignored for being different or too extreme."
Thor smiles slightly which causes his still healing face to become almost a death mask.
"Simply put I invited you all here today because while society would cast you out I know that all of you share a common bond. The bond of blood and the pursuit of it in the ring. I would think that for a company that has named itself the Extreme Hardcore Wrestling Federation that there would be more Extreme and more Hardcore than there has been so far. You have seen my action over the last few weeks so I will cut to the chase, Shall we give the fans what they want while we pursue what we want? Will any of you join me in shedding blood in the ring while we turn the very company great by our action?" |

*Mark looks down and he doesn't even look at thw pamphlet. He however would listen to Thor's little idea.*
"One thing about that Thor. Everybody in this room doesn't give a shit about anyone else except themselves. Including you and myself correct?"
*Mark looks from person to person again. He then chuckled a bit and looked at Thor again*
"We have Rocky over there drinking his ass off, but we all know he'll turn on any of us when things go wrong. We got that lunatic Scotty who we all know would turn on you on a dime and ddt your ass in thumb tacs if it'll get him a shot at the title again. Hell, you yourself Thor have shown some two face qualities. I will also admit that if it benefited me I would drop anybody on there neck. It's a old saying that I know you all have heard before: There is no trust among thieves. So what exactly do you expect with so many of us in this group? Are we suppossed to all be on the same page? We all know if that's what your saying that this little meeting is pointless. Nobody in here is going to settle for being second best to anybody else, or..atleast I'm not. So, I guess what I'm asking is this: You plan on getting all of these beasts in the same room..what is going to stop the beasts from tearing each other into?"
*Mark's eyes again scan the room. He was judging facial expressions as he was no longer going to ask questions if Thor answered this one smoothly. Mark however was the type of personality that didn't check in well with groups.*

Alex scanned the documents once as he considered the premise of Thor's invitation. No, Thor and Remington would probably never see eye to eye on many things given their collective egos, but Alex wanted to give this business arrangement at least some thought just in case it was worth his time.
Alex stood to his feet in the midst of all of those who were sitting, walking over to Thor, motioning for him to walk to the side, not wanting to say what he had to say in front of the rest.
"Listen...ah...Thor. I came here today to see if this business proposal would benefit me and would be worth my time. No doubt you've seen your successes in this business and many others, as have I. However, I'm going to have to refuse your offer at this time."
He eyed Thor, gauging his reaction.
"Personally, I don't like you; I'm not going to beat around the bush. But liking someone or being friends has nothing to do with business, and you know that. So I pulled you to the side because I wasn't going to make a showcase of it - I'll just walk out that door and they won't know what happened here. You'll still maintain your image while I maintain mine."
He paused, shaking his head.
"You're wrong though Thor. I can become extreme and I can use a weapon from time to time, but if this company is ever going to expand into the mainstream and leave a lasting impression on the industry, it has to expand beyond that. Sure, we can sell out ball rooms here or there, but if we are going to sell out Staples or the Garden, EHWF needs to clean up its act. Blood is nice, and I love seeing my opponent bloodied and beaten as much as the next guy, but it can't be glorified as the standard for this company."
Turning to walk away, he glanced over his shoulder.
"But on Sunday, you can expect much worse than any of that."
Slipping back on his sunglasses, he turned his back fully to Thor as he walked out of the room, heading toward his own personal jet.

"Uhh... you, big masked motherfucker."
I walked over to Mark, not even knowing his name. I heard him insult me and more or less call me two-faced, which sure as hell isn't true. I was drunk; fine. But I don't ever let no one give me no slack, and Remington and Thor ain't the only ones with images to uphold.
I got right in Mark's face.
"Listen..."
I was stuttering and struggling to get the right words out, on account of that god damn blood in my alcohol stream. Guess that'd a bad thing, right Thor?
"You don't fucking know me, man. I'm not two-faced at all! If anyone here is, you are; you got that mask to hide your real face and you know why? Because you're a fucking coward!"
I took the bottle of Johnnie Walker I had in my hands and smashed it over Mark's head. He was busted wide open, and the alcohol from the bottle was getting in the wounds. Mark was on one knee, writhing in pain. I turned around and looked at Thor. I pointed a sharp finger at him.
"You... next time you want someone of my caliber around, there better be alcohol that I didn't bring, a few woman, and more importantly lighting. This place is a fucking rut, man... and I'm pretty sure I nailed a stripper in here once after a gig a few days ago."
I walked around to the other side of the room and picked up the last full bottle of Johnnie Walker and headed for the door. I stopped and looked at Thor again.
"Oh, don't have assholes like that sorry fucker come in and insult me without even fucking know who I am! Two-faced..."
I walked by Mark Dread who was just starting to get up. I lifted my leg and swung it at him, but it missed and I tripped forward. Everyone was staring at me, but I played it off cool - or so I thought I did. I just walked off, never to be seen again. -Rocky J out-

"Mark you are quite right about that. None of us here will settle for second best. I don't expect us all to become boy scouts around each other and sign around the campfire if that is what you were thinking. No I understand we are all beasts but even the most savage of beasts can respect the fight of another beast. Hell being on different pages is actually a benefit to what I propose. You see Mark I know that Rocky is a drunk and Scott there has a his own row at the movies. We can all agree that we are beasts and if we had own way this would be a brawl not a simple chat. The brawl can be arranged however, I would think that many of you can see the wisdom of releasing the inner beast in a controlled environment."
Thor pauses as Remington stands up and says his piece before walking out. He then turns back to the others and starts to grin in amusement.
"No Mark I don't want us to be all buddy buddy in the ring. I feel that what happens between the bells is for the match and competition only forces us to improve. So simply put I am offering a each of us to improve in the company of like minded individuals as part of a multi-company organization. I admit that some of my greatest matches have been against people who are fellow members of the Empire of Blood. Most predators in the wild work as a team so I have to ask will you work towards the common goal of being the best you can be will people that share your mindset? Or will you stand alone with nothing but your own wits. Of course there are benefits to what I propose."
Thor spreads his arms to encompass the entire building in a symbolic gesture of the benefits of working with him. Thor turns to watch as Rocky J confronts Mark then shakes his head as he leaves. There was a bar behind him that took up the whole wall but that was beside the point. He would try to the man when he was sober. But to say the least this meeting was going close to how he expected it to. Now he would to see what other reactions he would get. |

*Mark Dread didn't even really react. He dropped down for a moment but sat up and simply laughed a little as Rocky left. He shrugged and stood up as he popped his neck. He had to admit the drunk could swing a bottle like a pro.*
"Now that, gives me my answer. Fact is this, the world is meant for two facing that is reality. Any of us will toss the other away to get a title shot. That's what we are here for. Rocky might not in his own opinion be that, but the dumbass is drunk."
*Mark chuckles and picks up the bottle before tossing the handle..the only part that didn't break over his head onto the middle of the table. Mark looks up at Sah'ta Thor before chuckling at what he said.*
"I'll tell you something Thor..you got alot of smarts. I'm here as a man who is here to punish others. Winning some titles on my way would just be icing on the cake. I don't think my mindset..and your mindset quite match. Though if working with you helps me get my chance around here..then consider me..in. Just don't expect me to be buddy buddy with you. I'm not that kind of guy."
*Mark pops his neck again with a grunt and turns walking to the bar and gets a bottle of regular water. He slowly unmasks himself to were nobody else could see and pours some into his very dry mouth before putting the mask back on. He closes the bottle up very slowly and swallows before he looks back at Thor. *

Standing in group still smoking his cigarette, Seraphiel takes one last drag off of his cigarette before putting it out and speaking.
"Thor I'll join you, but remember this we are not friends, for their are no friends amongst one another in this business of ours, each and everyone of us here like Mark stated is here for the very same thing you are here for and that is EHWF Championship gold.
Thor Friendship is nothing more then an illusion, and an illusion as we know it is nothing more then a magic trick, disguised to hide one's true plans, but like I said Thor I'll join you in this stable you call Imperial Enterprises other wise known as The Empire of Blood!"
Seraphiel said looking at Thor.

Sitting in silence this entire time, Scrambles simply watched as everything unfolded. Remington taking his leave for whatever reason, Rocky J doing the same in a much more outspoken manner, while Dread and Valentine chose the opposite route, joining with this "Empire of Blood," while he and Scotty seem to be still undecided. Fun.
::Scrambles the Death Dealer::
Well....that was an enthralling few minutes... I can't help but wonder though... Maybe I just wasn't payin' attention, but what do you seek to gain from all this, Thor? You've made it quite clear before that you've done quite a bit in this business. Are you really just wanting to climb the EHWF ladder as well? I dunno, maybe I'm just paranoid, but I can't help but feel there's more to this than you're telling us.
Scrambles brought up to rub his chin, his elbows still resting on his knees.
::Scrambles the Death Dealer::
All of this is just seems somewhat...self destructive. |

*Self destructive, there's a word Scotty knew well. He looked at Scrambles, and then to the others. He grumbles at his inner voices, as they were rattling off faster then the others. It was hard to keep up, but he was trying to fallow along*
~Scotty~
No, they don't want to hear your opinion ...just be quiet.
*Scotty looked over the group with his beady eyes, as they shift back and forth. He chuckled to himself, as he spoke*
~Scotty~
I'm not sure what we're talking about here. Is this a business meeting or a future stable forming? I can't help it, but I just want to beat people up ...that's all.
</>Female Voice<\>
Scotty, you're so violent.
*Scotty snarls at the voice*
~Scotty~
No I'm not, now hush! I'm trying to talk to these fine folks here.
-:-Male Voice-:-
Liar, you just want to hurt them ...Admit it, Scotty! |

Thor looks at Mark with nod of understanding as he starts to chuckle at his words.
"You will get plenty of shots by working for working with me. I don't expect us to be buddy buddy but I do make it worth the while for those who want join the Empire of Blood. But I do hope that in time you will learn the value of working with me."
Thor then turns to look at Seraphiel after he announces his intent to join the Empire of Blood. He even welcomed the comments about them not being friends. It would make things easier later on.
"Welcome to the ranks Seraphiel. I don't expect us to be would like to think that we can at least respect each other. So let's see what happens in the next."
Thor than smiles under his mask as he turns to look at Scrambles after he says his piece. He was spot on and by asking that question had earned a bit more respect form Thor.
"Very good Scrambles you cut to the quick and I like that. Simply put, yes I plan on climbing the EHWF ladder but that is a short term goal. No Scrambles I see this as a chance to ensure the future of this company. No offense to the management but I think that having a back up plan is worth the mention. And on the flip side I figure that we can bring the EHWF to new heights."
Thor then turns to the unstable Scotty and chuckles.
"Can't the creation of a stable be business? If you stick with me I can point the direction of quite a few targets." |

His head sunk down into his shoulder slightly as he groaned quietly, moving his hand down from his chin as he began to rub his hands together instead, those odd cogs and gears in his head still churning.
::Scrambles the Death Dealer::
I'm interested, yet skeptical, Thor. Is a stable really a stable when everyone has to look over their shoulder for their own team mates? If I'm attacked, can I truly trust these individuals to come to my aid? Cause from where I sit now, it sure as hell doesn't sound like it. Quite honestly, I don't believe in keeping my enemies closer for any reason, whether it's my own benefit or not.
His head turns slightly toward Scotty once again as he argues among himsel...ves, snorting a little in his own frustration.
::Scrambles the Death Dealer::
I suppose I'm more interested in how exactly we will elevate our status in a group where we...aren't a group. |

"Thanks for the welcoming Thor."

*Scrambles had a point, how was this group of rag tag guys going to get along. Everyone had their own agenda, and being buddy-buddy surely wasn't one of them. Hell, with Scotty being so unpredictable. How was anyone going to trust him, including himself*
~Scotty~
I hate to say it, but I got to agree with the Lone Ranger there. How are we all going to trust each other? How are we going to form as a group ...we all want the same thing!
*Scotty then started staring off into space, and grumbling with his voices*
</>Female Voice<\>
Scotty, you want the belt for yourself.
*Scotty snickers, his inner voices knew him well*
-:-Male Voice-:-
Kill'em now, and you won't have to worry about them later.
~Scotty~
Shh, you'll spoil the plan ...
*Scotty looks up, as he realizes everyone is looking at him again* |

"Well it is because of that very fact that we CAN trust each other. We ALL want the gold, we all suspect each other of doing something to betray each other. By that mutual suspicion we will be an almost unified force. The bottom line is that all of us want to be the best and in order to do that we will have a target on our backs. However, I fully EXPECT to have to fight each of you before this is all over but I can such a situation handle with mutual respect." |

He had heard enough. With a heavy exhale, Scrambles stood up in his chair, grunting a little as he began to stretch, his bones popping loudly as he released some of the kinks he had built up from sitting in that position for so long.
::Scrambles the Death Dealer::
I'm sorry, Thor, I cannot coincide with your vision... The fact of the matter is, there is only room at the top for one... and once one of you reaches that top, that's when things will begin to topple...
He stepped off his chair as he began to make his way toward the door, limping slightly as he tried to get the blood circulating back into his leg, tilting his head back as well as he spoke out to Thor just before making his exit through the doors he entered.
::Scrambles the Death Dealer::
But you've managed to pique my interest in at least one aspect, Thor... |

*Scotty sat there, and acted as if he was paying attention. He grumbled at his voices, but tried his best to ignore them. It wasn't easy, but nothing was as of late*
~Scotty~
Shhhh, I'm trying to listen to Thor.
*Again, everyone was looking at him. A smile crossed his tattered face, as he looked back at each one of them*
~Scotty~
Skeletor has a point, but I'm still interested.
*Scotty's inner voices laughed, as he tried to act normal* |

*Suddenly,there was a beautiful but dark gothic lady seen walking on in to this meeting.That lady was known as "The Drak Queen" Ariel Paine,Scotty's wife.She was wanting to make new friends at EHWF and she started that by seeing who was in the meeting.She seen that there was a bar with food added.She looked at the leader,Sah'ta Thor and said right back to him with a wicked smile on her face.*
"The Dark Queen" Ariel Paine:Sah'ta Thor,let me introduce myself to you.I'm Ariel Paine,Scotty's wife.You may was expecting Miss Jaci but if you did'nt know,she's on emergency leave due to what happened in her match.If you want a REAL LADY to join your expansion,then I'M THAT LADY.You see,I want to show you how hungry,passionate,and driven on why I should be part of this expansion.I can defintaly show you how bad that I want to hurt anyone that comes my way.You can be that person,alongside with these others and my wonderfull husband Scotty,to lead me the way.Give ME that shot and I show you how very much damn dedicated that I can be! What do you say?
*She went on over to apologize to both Alexander Remington and Mark Dread for anything that she said to the both of them.She went on over to both Rocky J, Scrambles The Clown,Justin Taker,and Seraphiel De'Valentine to introduce herself before getting a Kamikazie on the Rocks and a Lemon Drop shot to enjoy.After she got her drink,she sat down next to her husband and put her arms around him as she waited on Sah'ta Thor's reply.*
