The shot returns us to where we've been before, in a field somewhere in Texas. Likely close to Dallas, as neither Thunder nor Storm have a lot of money to spend at the moment. It's also very, very cold due to the arctic freeze that has made its way all the way to Texas. Thunder appears first, flexing in a heavy jacket that pretty much covers up everything.
Thunder - THUNDER!!
Thunder waits for a second, holding the pose, before looking off to the side.
Thunder - C'mon, Gene, you said you'd do it this time...
After a few more seconds, Lightning walks out as well. He doesn't strike much of a pose.
Lightning - Lightning...
Thunder shakes his head and sighs at the lack of enthusiasm from his partner.
Thunder - You know if you keep this up, they're just going to lay us off and find new low-card guys.
Lightning - Sometimes, I wonder if that would be best. Weren't we happier wrestling in El Paso?
Thunder - We've transcended that dump, Lightning! Now we're The Wrath of the Storm!!
Lightning - But we haven't gotten a single win since we got here...
Thunder - But this week, we BOTH have matches! That's double the chance that we can be victorious!
Thunder holds up two fingers excitedly. They're both on the same hand, for those of you thinking for a second that he was double-flipping off the camera. Although that would have been awesome. Lightning still doesn't look too thrilled.
Lightning - Maybe so, but we're facing Tony Savage and the North American Champion, Duce Jones.
Thunder - Exactly! Both of them are badly beat up from the fight they went through! They're easy pickings for the Wrath of the Storm!!
Lightning shakes his head, looking away. Thunder, a little frustrated, comes up with a new plan.
Thunder - Okay, brother, how about this? You and I, we make our own little side bet for this match.
Lightning finally looks back, staring at Thunder.
Thunder - We both have matches against similar, injured opponents. So let's say whoever puts on the longer match, or whoever gets the victory faster, is the winner! And the loser has to buy the other a steak dinner!
Lightning - Don't be ridiculous.
Lightning shakes his head, before smiling.
Lightning - You know damn well I'm going to last longer than you. Why would you make such a stupid bet?
Thunder - Hah! We shall see, Lightning, we shall see. So, I get to face Tony Savage, a military man. It's Veterans week so thank you for your service. Now I'm going to have to give you the power of Thunder! Because Thunder will come first!!
Lightning can't help himself, sputtering into laughter at what Thunder just said. Thunder looks at him, confused.
Thunder - What? It's the truth! You feel the power, and then it comes!
More laughter from Lightning.
Thunder - Oh, who cares what you think? I'm going to make sure I outlast you, and I'm going to get our first victory, too! I'm bringing the Thunder, baybee! Prepare to feel the roar... of THUNDER!!!
Lightning: .... AND... he he he he he... LIGHTNING!!
Thunder - There you go!
Lightning goes off to compose himself, as Thunder stands, proud of himself.
Thunder: Thunder ALWAYS comes first!
Thunder then shivers, and decides to head for the car to warm up. Fade out.
Thunder - THUNDER!!
