*Alicia Gordon is in the UBL Dojo in front of the heavy bag. She's measuring it with roundhouse kicks, focusing more on detecting range than aiming for power. The camera turns on and she acknowledges it after a few more swift kicks.*
[Alicia:] "I hate reinventing the wheel but Wingate bought us a new car so here we are. I was told that everyone who hasn't commented on the Continuum Stream would have a chance to do so in some kind of cowboy round-up before it started. So, even though it was a few months ago, it is beyond me why my comments aren't still relevant to this."
*Alicia's face tightens and she lays into the bag a little harder.*
[Alicia:] "But that's just the thing, isn't it? My impatience that I talked about last time extends to the way that people fail to properly hear me much as it does to the lack of opportunities I was given. I know there are a few among you that get it though. Maybe they are in my block, maybe they aren't. But one man remains my focus: Corey O'Brian.
Corey - your poise and resiliency to change is a testament to your hall of fame career. The fact is, you and I were supposed to get our match at Catalyst but instead we got 'ubbled'.
No, that isn't a coLAWLquialism. Using it as a verb, and dating back to ye olde english usage thanks to Arthur - it's the act of two wrestlers at the top of the card having their long awaited unification match derailed to accommodate a multi-year league. I wanted you to be the next person I faced but now we both have to go through 4 other people first."
*Alicia hits the bag even harder, letting out an audible oomph in the process*
[Alicia:] "The fact is - you reacted better than I did when you heard the news. My impatience manifested as my old friend rage and I kinda maybe shattered a lamp in Thunder Strike's office. I never liked that one anyway, probably because we found pathetically placed Gauntlet bugs in it a few years ago, but that's beside the point.
Fact is - you looked at the positives of the changed scenario. And in the past few weeks, I started to think that just maybe your perspective is the correct one here. I'm not just saying that because I now have the opportunity to become the first Infinite Continuum Champion - clearly a name that was conceived on the moon while being ubbled - but for one simple fact. The best way to deal with a disputed title like the NEXUS is to remove all doubt. What better way to achieve that then including every contender and major Championship ever at stake here. It's like a Jasper Woodruff wet dream of gold...only, luckily, without Jasper Woodruff. The only gold he and his cohorts ever earned was in their pit stains."
*Alicia stifles a smile that just peaks out a little but then looks serious again.*
[Alicia:] "You also mentioned a name on your bucket list: Geese Walker."
*Alicia hits the bag with a kick to the bottom of the bag*
[Alicia:] "'Sirius Mask' lied when John Randolph asked if he had any history or thoughts about Geese.
So I'll just say this now. For your sake, Corey, I hope you get to face him first."
*Alicia follows up with a "uraken" spinning back fist sending the bag careening backward*
[Alicia:] "As for my Block A cohorts - three are worthy of my attention. I will beat the other within an inch of being rendered unsuitable for Kazuo Saji's revenge. Sanders - don't you ever stand in the ring with me again and pretend to be a man."
*Alicia hits the bag with an elbow with such force that a visible dent is seen.*
[Alicia:] "That leaves Tsaoring Chou, Wang Gom-Bu, and Jason Hyde. I want to make this clear - I do not overlook any of you. My business with Corey is highest on my mind but my business with you three are on the forefront.
Chou, as a fellow underdog throughout my career, I will not underestimate you for one second. An opportunity like this is exactly the one you need to break out to the top. We've all seen what you can do in the ring and now is the biggest stage for you to do it on. I've also heard that you've signed up for a tournament in Super NOVA so I admire your drive to make opportunities for yourself. But it's one thing to participate, it's another thing to desperate strive to win. Follow my advice - be impatient - don't let these chances fall through your grasp.
Wang, you're not an underdog but you're an underachiever. Other than winning a Battle Royale, your record here is not consistent with your capabilities. Once you realize and truly feel the frustration of that, you could become the most dangerous man in this entire league. So, like Chou, I won't take you lightly. Every second of our match I'm going to attack you like I'm chopping down a tree because otherwise I'll be crushed under it."
And Jason..."
*The bag is still kind of swinging from the elbow strike and she grabs it to steady it.*
[Alicia:] "Jason Hyde. You helped Jang, Thunder, and I repel Geese at his most dangerous. Then you joined up with even worse company and broke Thunder Strike's leg. Angelica and I go way back, and I know how angry someone can get when their sibling gets hurt. So I'm not Kyle Walker, I'm not going that route. But when you face me in our match, you better look me in the eye and understand this crystal clear. Thunder may have forgiven you but I haven't."
*Alicia remains transfixed on the camera with a glare then suddenly switches gears and lets out a smirk.*
[Alicia:] "But maybe I should say the loud part quiet or else I'll have to fight 16 more people before I get my match with Jason. Then again, 'Ubble't2' would make a great name for the next big event if i'm basing it on recent history."
*Alicia places her left leg behind her as if she's winding up.*
[Alicia:] "Just remember everyone, I'm not ubble't in here with all of you, you're ubble't in here with me."
*Alicia fires her back foot forward into a high roundhouse kick that knocks the heavy bag off the ceiling.*
