Bitch I Go To Work (o2a)

[Kenji Katana]

As much as you could say he isn't, Kenji is a black man stuck in an asian man's body. He grew up in Compton, what would you expect? He did everything but use that word. Yea, THAT word. He'd probably get killed by some rival gang if he did. On this particular day, he was listening to the new song everybody was. "Cat Daddy" by The Rej3ctz. He was walking around New York, trying to find a certain store. He found it, and was on his way back to the building that housed all the XWA Wrestlers, when he saw a fight break out. Looking at the men, he realized that was Tato Uchiha. He ran over and kicked one of the men jumping Tato, & when the other turned around he used the same roundhouse kick he used on 187. The other man got up and he was punt kicked as well. Kenji helped Tato up and they start the walk back to his apartment.

Tato.... why are you here?
Simple really. I saw what happened at T2TT and I thought you might need a little back up.
Mutha-
No no, I don't mean the match. I mean your fight with 187. I managed to find the security footage from Fort Bragg (Remember those two former AD's?) and I saw how he looked, that wasn't 187.
I kno-

He wasn't paying attention, and he bumped into somebody.
Hey-....
Heheheh.

The person in question was...

[Tyson Terra]

Funny how the man seemed to pop up in the most opportune of moments wasn't it? Tyson was back in New York himself, further spinning the wheels to his "plans".

He had Clayton Lang to "consult" with. He had his two "aces", waiting in the wings. And he had Katana. Well, me didn't actually HAVE Katana...yet, but Terra's not the man to take no for an answer, not without making whoever says no pay for their ill-fated decision that is.

Hmm Hmm, still content with just being a "street fighter", hmm?

He looks off to the not so far distance of Kenja and Uchiha's handywork.

Effective, but sloppy. I understand that you're "soldiers" in your own right, but upgrading your situation might warrant you a little "vital information". Your friend is right about Taylor, 187 if you will. He's...how you say...unique.

Terra reached into his pocket, pulling out his infamous Blackberry.

Of course, if you were me...you'd already know that. See, I've been keeping tabs on quite a few people. Who to look for, who to look out for, and who to simply put...liquidate.

Jury's still out on you though, but I do have some info that you might find quite useful in your own "cause". Unless of course...you think you your "boys" can handle it on your own.

[Kenji Katana]

Who's this g-
Chill...

Kenji remembered Terra. He was the first person he met, even before he met Carmella. Said there was a "war" going on, and he wanted Kenji to be part of his "army." seems like at T2TT, he fired the first shots.

So, if there's any info that would help my "cause", I'd hope you told me now. It doesn't seem like you have too many friends, this "war" isn't gonna go well without them.

So, are you gonna tell me what you know or not?

[Tyson Terra]

Well, since you asked so nicely...

He speaks as he looks at the information from his screen.

It appears that Mr. Taylor has an acute case of schizophrenia. Of course, nobody's been able to get close enough to actually diagnose this but...my "sources" have confirmed one case of 187's "alter ego" showing himself right here in New York City before you had your encounter with him.

Turns out he went on quite the little "field trip" on this particular night, and wound up finishing it off on a park bench in the East Village.

Now, if it were my assumption, I'd say this isn't so much multiple personalities as much as it is a "Jekyll & Hyde" scenario, where apparently one "persona" can take control of the body without the other's consent, or even his knowing.

He slides that vital piece of electronics back into the inside pocket of his suit jacket. Indeed, Terra had been keeping tabs on many people, not just Kenji.

That would make your friend as equally unique as he is dangerous. There's a lot more intel I've gathered on him...but I figured we'd start with the basics first.

[Kenji Katana]

That I've noticed.

Thinking back to the night of the locker room brawl. The strange Jason Vorhees noise he made coming into the room, Kenji sensed something was different. That was the night he changed as well.

Didn't know about the park bench though.

Now, back to that "war" thing you were talking about.

War?

Tato, shut up.

Yes, the war. I'd be willing to join your cause, on one condition.

Smith has money. He can buy whoever or whatever he wants.

His eyes narrow and his look turns more evil.

I wanna know what's going to happen if I get jumped by Smith and.... whoever.

[Tyson Terra]

Smith?

Tyson laughs.

There's a difference between John Smith and I. Unlike him, I understand the importance of silence. We're all predators in a sense, but Smith's like a lion. He has to roar before his strikes, and after for that matter. He has to let everyone in the jungle know that he's the "king".

I don't need such gratification, but back to the point...

Me? I'm a viper. I slither and coil myself up, preparing to strike, so that when I do, that strike is felt and it leaves poison behind, ensuring that "death"...is certain. Besides, Smith's ambitions are way too broad. I have a much more...focused target. Starting straight from the top...or did you not see my surprise for the World Champion Kayn & "the favorite" Jon Payne. That my friend is only the beginning.

Smith, and anyone close to him...would be wise to stay out of my business, and out of my way.

He chuckles again. Cryptic as it may be, Terra gave indication of plans that might be "broad" in and of themselves.

[Kenji Katana]

Hmm, you have a point. And along with that point....

You have a deal.

He stuck his hand out.

Are you sure you sho-

Tato. I know what I'm doing.

[Tyson Terra]

Terra smirks as he accepts the handshake, sealing the deal.

Glad to see you finally listen to the voice of reason. You still have the card I gave you, correct? In a few days, give the number a call. I'll introduce you to the rest of the "team". In the meantime, I'll let you deal with your...nemesis...on your own terms.

Unless you think you might need a little back up. I can have that arranged if you like.

[Kenji Katana]

I'd still have it ready. I can handle 187, and even if he tries to get Lilith into our business, seeing as she already hates me, I'm in the process of having that handled.

But Smith? He's the one I might have the problem with.
