in this world, there are two types of people. those that achieve success, and
those that only dream about it. you must be the first kind, the type of person who
walks into dangerous situations and fears no man. the kind of man who sees the
opportunity to advance in the face of adversity. you are the man who for many years
has focused your energies into the task at hand. and now, my son, the task is to defeat
the paper champion. the task is to defeat hyena. the paper champion. you can do it, mikul
you will do it.

-{{ The scene fades completely in from the fuzz on your screen. After hearing the words of the Master, you are drawn
to a picture of a man standing next to a flame. A large campfire, a bonfire burning in the night. Around you is darkness, you
can't seem to adjust your eyes to the light of the fire and the darkness of your surroundings, so you choose instead to pay
attention to the man standing near the fire. You recognize this man as Mikul Quikk. As you approach, your feet cracking
the broken branches beneath your feet, he turns his head to burn you with a stare. You freeze, and as he recognizes you,
you continue the approach, faster now. As you get to where he stands, now near the flame and feeling the intense heat,
you see Quikk breathing in deeply in ritual preparation. He inhales deeply, then exhales, and his breath plumes out in smoke.
The chill of the air now nips at your ears and nose. Mikul is dressed in an all-black body suit, with no markings. It seems
to be build to hold in body heat. His bald black head shines in the fire and moonlight as he turns to you and speaks. }}-

- "The Machine" Mikul Quikk - :: Welcome to Canada. The home of many things, and I am here tonight to clear my mind and my body. You have found me here, among the trees of the forest and the air and the fire. This is the natural habitat of man. To be among these things is as natural as the skin on our bodies. And now, I'm sure you are wondering about things concerning the OWA. I, of course, had a successful debut in the ring. My opponent was outmatched by my quickness...my agility, and my cunning. Jaymz Hetfield is now only a memory on the books and Mikul Quikk moves on. My new foe is the ultimate target in the OWA...he calls himself Hyena. And while it took me quite some time to decypher his gibberish he calls an interview, I did come upon something that is very interesting, and I'm sure Hyena will want to know....come Saturday night, he will lose.

-{{ Quikk spins around on his heel and picks up a bottle. Opening the lid, he takes a sip and then recaps the bottle, setting
it down on the ground where it was before. Straightening up, he spins again on his heel and regains the position he was in before
and continues speaking, this time in a voice slightly more forceful than the one before. }}-

- "The Machine" Mikul Quikk - :: Hyena....an animal that lives among woods like this by nature. A creature that lives as a scavenger...a predator, yes, but a predator that preys on the weak members of the group....the weaker members of the area. Wounded, hurt, dying....a scavenger. Hyenas as a whole are very cowardly creatures at best, only attacking something when they are certain it cannot do them any harm. So in that way, they are very smart creatures, but very cowardly. I suspect that this name fits this man well. You see, my first opponent for this Saturday was a man they call Tru Soldier, and while I was ready to fight for the North American Championship AND my right to fight for the World Heavyweight Title, I am now reduced to fighting Hyena alone, and for what? A chance at fighting him again for the World Title belt? Why wait? Why don't we just make the fight for all the marbles and put the belt on the line now? I can tell you why. Because Hyena is a coward.

-{{ Quikk lets the sound of that last word surround you, as he turn again, and assume the kata position. He gets in stance
and begins to practice his routine, keenly aware of company. He makes a few moves then inhales deeply, exhaling as he stands
upright once again. He gathers his belongings behind him and starts off in a direction towards the darkness. You follow. Soon,
the light of the fire is no longer illuminating the pathway and you remember that you brought your flashlight. You take it out and
soon realize how far behind Quikk you've fallen, so you begin to run after him. The camera bobs up and down on your shoulder
as you do, but soon you have reached him and slow down to a steady pace. Then, looming in the distance is a cabin. A log cabin
like you might see in the movies. Within moments, you stand near it, as Quikk deposits some of his belongings outside and then
reaches for the door. Soon, he's inside, and so are you, and you take in the sights as the warmth envelopes you. }}-

- "The Machine" Mikul Quikk - :: Make yourself at home. We're expecting company, so please, don't think you're staying long. But you may stay until he arrives.

-{{ Quikk then leaves the room for a moment, going into a bedroom adjacent to the room you're in. You take a seat on the
couch facing the roaring fire. You take a look around the room now that your eyes have adjusted to the light and you recognize
a few things. Pictures hanging on the wall, a table holding a few pictures of it's own, with a few trinkets. After a few moments,
Quikk re-enters the room, now dressed in something a bit more comfortable looking, a pair of workout pants, a white t-shirt,
and some boots. He goes to the kitchen and pours himself some coffee from the coffee maker. He gets his mug and sits down
in a chair opposite of you. }}-

- "The Machine" Mikul Quikk - :: Well then...I guess you're wondering who might be coming to see me way up here in the Canadian Rockies, right? Well, let me break the suspense for you. I am a close friend of a man who owns a company called the Global Wrestling Alliance. The man coming to the cabin this evening has heard of my technical prowess and has decided to help me in my journey...the man you might know....his name is Michael Vincenetti, and you know him as Skarrphace.

-{{ As if on cue, there is a knock at the door. Quikk flashes a grin as he stands up to answer the door. As he opens it,
the man standing outside greets him with a firm handshake. Quikk welcomes the man inside and you see it is Skarrphace.
He enters and takes his overcoat off, laying it on the table. Skarrphace is dressed impecibly of course, head to toe. An
Armani suit, dark grey, with a scarf and tie that match. He takes the scarf off and lays it on the black overcoat. }}-

- Skarrphace - :: Well, this is the place I've been searching for....took me damn near all night....so, Mikul Quikk is it? Nice to meet you, I'm Skarrphace, you can call me that or 'Phace for short.....

- "The Machine" Mikul Quikk - :: I'm glad you could make it up here, Mr. Vincenetti. I'll be brief, since I know your time is of the essence. I feel as if for me to take the next step in my career in the OWA, I need an edge I'm missing now. Something intangible that I can't put my finger on at the moment....something....*voice trails off*

- Skarrphace - :: Well, I'm glad you contacted me. On the flight up here, I read through your file, and I must say, your training speaks for itself. Amazing athlete, and I think there is something....something I can do to help you. I think what you lack is the killer instinct that is in every champion. I have it....the other champions in the world have it. The men who led multi-billion dollar companies have it....the men in power, the men respected by the millions of people around the world, they have it. And when I am done with you, you shall have it...and you will be able to tell if your opponents have it, and take advantage of that.

- "The Machine" Mikul Quikk - :: How is it one acquires this killer instinct?

- Skarrphace - :: I'm glad you asked that.

-{{ Skarrphace then drops down to one knee and slams his fists into Quikk's stomach, doubling the man over. Skarrphace then
grabs the man by his head and flips him over, martial arts style, onto his back and jabs his hand into Quikk's throat, squeezing down
tighter and tighter until it looks like Quikk could pass out. Then, he releases the hold, springs to his feet, and looks down at Quikk
as he recovers. Skarrphace shakes his head, fixes his suit and addresses the man, now gasping for air on the log cabin floor below. }}-

- Skarrphace - :: That feeling you have right now in the pit of your stomach...the feeling of wanting revenge....the feeling of wanting to strike out at whatever it is that made you this way.....this is the killer instinct I will instill in you. Remember this feeling, Quikk....you will be feeling it a lot in the next week.

-{{ Quikk moves to his hands and knees as Skarrphace moves to the kitchen and opens the refridgerator. He pulls out two bottled
waters and tosses one to Quikk, who gets his hand up just in time to catch it. Skarrphace grins down at him as Quikk gets to his feet.
The scene then fades out as Quikk and Skarrphace shake hands again. }}-

the killer instinct is something you must possess if you wish to defeat this
man they call hyena. when you achieve this state of anger and hatred, only then
will you be powerful enough to defeat this man. you can do it, mikul. believe
in yourself, for you are the chosen one that will lead this group into the next
era of excellence. you are the one mikul...you are the one.
