The image slowly opens up on Thunder and Lightning as they make their way through the streets. They could have gotten a cab, or maybe an Uber, but funds are low and they were only given airfare, so they've opted to walk across the scenic landscape around them.
Thunder - This place really is cool. More people here than I expected, too.
Lightning - Glad that we're immune to all diseases.
Thunder - We're immune to all diseases? When did that happen?
Lightning - I think from all our years of living in abandoned buildings, weekly hotels, and digging food out of the trash.
Thunder - Awesome, glad that's paying off for us.
Lightning - Still, if this whole sponsorship deal pays off, maybe we can finally be something greater! And live in a place... like this!
Lightning throws his hands out, showing off what's in front of them, and the camera obediently turns to show... Las Vegas!
Thunder and Lightning both look pleased with where they are. Sure, the COVID pandemic is still going on, but when's the last time they've been able to go somewhere special like Las Vegas? They both turn around, looking in either direction.
Thunder - So which way do we go again?
Lightning - I don't know. Vegas is so big!
Thunder - Well, let's try this way...
The two men walk off, and we cut to another shot, this one showing them standing near the fountains of the Bellagio, always an amazing show. They take in the music, watching the water shoot from so many directions.
Lightning - That was cool, but we're no closer to finding where we need to go. I guess we should have gotten public transportation.
Thunder - We can ride the monorail after this. Maybe there will be maps there. But we'll find it, brother. We'll find it, and we'll get on our way to being winners again!
Lightning - Again?
Thunder - Don't you remember? Fourth grade?
Lightning - Oh, right. That was such an epic battle.
The beginnings of a flashback start to show, as the screen wavers. But Thunder stops it with a shake of his head.
Thunder - No, no, we don't have time for that.
Lightning - I can't believe you blocked the flashback...
Thunder - We have to stay focused. Once we get a sponsor, the sky's the limit for us, or maybe even further than that. Space is the final frontier, after all. With backing, we can easily take even a powerhouse tag-team like Life After Death. You think Lucas Thames and Mike Zybala can stand against the power of Wrath of the Storm if we have sponsorship??
Lightning - I think we can crush them. I want to get my hands on Zybala and show him that Sleepy Time can be a way of life! I want to shock that Icon Thames thinks he is, and absolutely obliterate their little tag-team before it can even get going and disrupt our rise to the top of the tag-team ranks! If that Janitor gets involved, I want to shove that broom stick so far up...
Thunder - Whoa, bro! Intense!
Lightning - I was going to say up his pants, I swear.
Thunder - But you see? That's what just the thought of a sponsor is doing for you! You sound like a new man! Oh, we're going to be great, brother! It's going to be incredible! Now if we can just find this place... c'mon, let's head for the monorail...
The duo walks off, ignoring the small crowds gathered around the fountain. We cut away once more, this time joining them as they walk into what appears to be an arena.
Thunder - No, this can't be it. I think we've gotten turned around.
Lightning - This looks pretty cool, though. Where are we?
Knight - You there! Stand your ground, villains!
Thunder - Huh?
Suddenly, a group of knights appear, riding on horseback as they surround Thunder and Lightning. The brothers prepare themselves, ready to do battle, their newfound confidence showing in the fact that neither is wetting their pants.
Lightning - You dare challenge the power of...
Thunder - THUNDER!!
Lightning - And LIGHTNING!!!
The two men flex, before resuming their defensive positions. The knights, however, don't attack.
Knight - This be forbidden ground, gentlemen. This is the Tournament of Kings!
The knight gestures around them, and we can see that it is the Las Vegas dinner show theatre.
Thunder and Lightning look around, nodding to themselves.
Lightning - Cool.
Thunder - We are a little lost...
Knight - You thinketh so?
Thunder - We're trying to find this place...
Thunder shows them the address on the paper he was given. The knight shakes his head, then breaks character to try and help them (and to get them out of their training area).
Knight - Guys, I don't know how you got in here, but you are WAY off track.
Thunder - We're warriors, just like you guys are. We're going to be battling two men who are the ultimate in evil villains, and we need the support of a mighty ruler to help us survive. Can you guide us in our quest?
Knight - Just, drop the attempt at an accent, will you? I'll help you. You need to head to the Flamingo Hotel and Casino. That's where you'll find this place.
Lightning - The Flamingo? I think we walked by that earlier... a long while ago... damn.
Thunder - Thank you so much for your help, good knight!
Knight - Good night to you, too. Now get out.
The knights ride off again, as Thunder and Lightning head out the way they came in. Why didn't security stop them in either direction? Who knows, these are strange times. We jump to Thunder and Lightning finally reaching back to the Flamingo Hotel. They go inside, making their way around the casino floor. Suddenly, Lightning starts to get extremely excited.
Lightning - Oh my god oh my god oh my god...
Thunder - Calm down, Lightning! What's gotten into you?
Without words, Lightning points to a poster in the corner, showing that Piff The Magic Dragon is performing at the Flamingo currently.
Lightning - We have to get tickets!! They were amazing on America's Got Talent!!
Thunder - Okay, bro, okay, calm down. I'm sure we can get some seats later on, but we're already late for our sponsorship appointment. We'll have to see this show either tonight or tomorrow. Maybe our sponsor can get us tickets.
Lightning - Oh, man, I hope so! That would be so wicked!
Thunder - I know you're excited, but save that energy for when we fight Thames and Zybala. We'll need to absolutely destroy them to start getting respect in the GCWA, and this will be our opportunity. I mean, Zybala's focused on his merchandising deals and Thames just missed out on the X Division Title. This is our chance to put both of them down for good!
Lightning - We ought to get one of those Sleepy Time Zybala body pillows, just so we can practice beating up on him.
Thunder - No, that sounds too creepy.
Lightning - You're probably right. The whole thing is creepy.
Thunder - Besides, maybe we'll get actual sparring partners to work against! Wouldn't that be incredible??
Lightning - You mean wrestlers who would actually let us learn moves and get victories? Where do we sign up??
Thunder - Right down here, brother. We're almost there.
The two men keep walking, bypassing several gamblers who are big fans of high risk. They're almost out of the casino when Lightning stops, looking at a particular machine.
Thunder - What's wrong, Lightning?
Lightning - I'm feeling something from this machine. I think I should use the voucher we were given...
Thunder - You're sure?
Lightning - I'm sure.
Lightning pulls out a card from his back pocket and feeds it into the machine. It shows that he has a $5 credit, not really that much. But Lightning is determined to win. He pulls on the handle, listening as the wheels spin inside on the fancy machine. The camera zooms up, showing that it is, in fact, a GCWA-sponsored machine. The first pull ends up on shots of Dylan Thomas, Dave Branson, and unfortunately Tony Savage, failing to get a full A-List set. Lightning tries again, and this time he gets The Lost Soul, Terry Marshall, and Space Lord, once again missing out. Soon, Lightning's down to his final spin.
Thunder - This isn't looking good.
Lightning - Come on, lady luck.
The spins take place once more... and land on:
The bells and whistles go off, as the money pours in onto Lightning's card. He celebrates with his brother.
Lightning - We won! We won!!
Thunder - I told you our lives are changing!! Get that money and let's get going!!
Lightning cashes out of his machine, getting a whole $56 now on his card. The two men turn and leave, excited, heading down to the floor outside.
Lightning - This has been the best day we've had in quite some time, brother.
Thunder - And it's only going to get better, brother. Because... we're here.
The two study the restaurant in front of them, smiling. They nod to each other, immediately striking a final pose.
Thunder - THUNDER!!
Lightning - LIGHTNING!!
They then turn and head inside, as we get a full view of the restaurant before we fade out...
Thunder - This place really is cool. More people here than I expected, too.
Lightning - Glad that we're immune to all diseases.
Thunder - We're immune to all diseases? When did that happen?
Lightning - I think from all our years of living in abandoned buildings, weekly hotels, and digging food out of the trash.
