*OrochiGeese is walking through the hallways of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena with Drake Yoshida*
Drake: It has been a busy week, sir."
OG: "Yes, and the Voltage announcement went exactly as I planned. I knew I'd be able to bait Bak Fu, Twinky, and his pal Nick Strife into coming back to "restore order". Just as I knew that airing Amplitude in Japan would quickly bring Naja, Marauder, Nightmare, and Centurion out of the proverbial woodwork. Now, I trust that planning is going well for the June 'Open' show and for the Universal Champion League?"
Drake: "The 'Open' show has been finalized. However, in regards to the league, have you given any more thought as to who will be the 12th participant? I did my best in scheduling for him but it is impossible to know where best to "place" him without knowing who he is."
OG: "My top choices are still Clyde, Figaro, or Johnny Wang. Having a third Orochi Army member in there-"
Drake: "Third, sir? I was under the impression that Flip Staley was merely a hired gun."
OG: "Yes, but I hired him."
Drake: "And you are sure you can trust him? What if someone offers him a better deal?"
OG: "No one can match the money I am paying him. I am certain he'll perform his duties as ordered, and with the desired results. He is of extra merit due to the expected participation of Bak Fu. Flip is one of the most vicious fighters I have ever seen. Not only a perfect fit for the UBL, but a perfect weapon for me. Every man in this league will have lost a part of themselves after stepping into the ring with him."
Drake: "And you, sir? How will you fend against him?"
*OG laughs*
OG: "I am no exception to the toll he will take, for I will have spent a great deal of money!"
*Drake laughs as well as the two approach a set of double doors. OG glances at them and back to Drake*
OG: "How is it coming?"
Drake: "Construction has been coming along well for the new Universal Battle Chamber."
OG: "Do we have to call it that?"
Drake: "You told me to carry on as many UBL traditions as I could, sir."
OG: "Yes...but that "Battle Chamber" name was too gimmicky for me even then. Why not call it the Chaos-"
Drake: "I think the "Battle Chamber" will set the right mood, if that is ok."
*OG sighs but doesn't seem to care all that much about the topic*
OG: "You have run UBL successfully for years now, including making it something out of the joke it once was. I'm glad to have you here to manage it and make these decisions while I prepare for combat."
Drake: "Thank you, sir. It appears that you may be the only one happy to have me aboard."
*Geese smirks*
OG: "General Celes giving you more trouble?"
Drake: "No, I've wisely steered clear of her and the other two ever since Amplitude. But I'm referring to Thunder Strike, Naja Mask, Marauder, and Nightmare. You saw their reactions at Voltage."
OG: "What about Centurion?"
Drake: "Oddly enough, he was happy to see me. In fact, he even seemed glad for UBL to have a change in surroundings. But he's also insane so his positive reaction did not bring me much solace."
OG: "Drake, you've had the respect of these men for many years. And you will have it again."
Drake: "But how?"
OG: "By showing them that you still have the best interests of the UBL in mind. Specifically, that you intend on carrying over and strictly enforcing the old rules of combat for League matches. That is why I'm placing you directly on the front lines of "the Battle Chamber."
Drake: "Front lines, sir?"
OG: "UBL needs more referees, correct? Kenshin is the only Voltage referee I have employed that is capable of handling a UBL match. He is not enough to handle all the referee duties. But you are familiar with the kind of violence and with the wrestlers that bring it in the UBL. So I need you out there as a referee."
Drake: "But...they'll slaughter me for selling the UBL to you!"
OG: "Not if they still want their place in the league. Not if they still want their shot at ME. Thunder Strike may want your blood for participating in his forced "sabbatical" last year...but he wants MY blood even more. If he attacks you, then any guaranteed match against me is OFF. He's not dumb enough to do that. Nor is Naja, Marauder, or Nightmare. They ALSO want me more then they want you. And arguably, they want to become the Universal Champion for 2007 even more then they want to maim me."
Drake: "Fine but-"
OG: "I will have ample security surrounding the ring. If you are in danger, they will step in..."
Drake: "But Marauder is a one man arm-"
OG: "With tazers."
Drake: "Oh."
OG: "Now let us go inside and see how the new "Battle Chamber" is shaping up. I do hope it was worth it to annex this auditorium to the Venkman Arena rather then make a separate building for it."
Drake: "It will make it easier for the fans to attend these shows as they are already familiar with it."
OG: "And I already have the Orochi-O's vendors and merchandise stands in place."
Drake: "This will be a most profitable project for you, sir."
*OG shakes his head yes with a fiendish smile on his face*
OG: "Yes...in so VERY many ways."
*The two open up the double doors and head into the "Battle Chamber as this promo fun ends!"
