Locking Them In

[ScylliasExoter]

During an intermission in LAW’s standard programming, the arena went dark and the TitanTron went live.
Music plays
<Drake Benton appears on the screen stepping out of shadow.>
”You know why I’m here. I’m here because I’m not done with Oscar Orelash.”
<Camera cuts to Oscar spitting flames and high five-ing the crowd.>
”I beat you…”
<Camera cuts to Oscar being KO’d by bearhug and a fan crying at the sight.>
”Twice.”
<Camera cuts to Oscar being KO’d in Drake’s sleeper in the rain.>

“But then I see things like, ‘Critics say, Drake only won the rematch because of interference.’”
<Camera cuts to Oscar bearhugging Drake but the twins swoop in and superkick Oscar.>
“Who are these unnamed critics? Not a single p***y critic would say that to my face… So I’m gonna silence them all! I have in my hand, a contract for a match with Oscar Orelash at We Are Law 7. Next week on MONDAY NIGHT LAW I will be in that ring waiting for you, Oscar!
<More scenes of carnage where Drake is beating on Oscar.>
”You can either show up and sign the contract for our match, or prove you really are a ginger b***tch!”
<For reasons unknown to all, Drake tears up the contract he is holding. But at least it’s a cool final effect before the screen goes dark.>

The screen flickered to life briefly, panning down to the torn up contract Drake left on the floor before a hand reached down to pick up a piece of it. Fans would recognize the arm bracer on the hand's wrist as a part of Oscar Orelash's ring gear- the Barbarian Prince's voice letting out a sigh.

"I get the feeling somebody didn't exactly think this through... ah well. As many of you might know... I'm no stranger to hard work"

Oscar's hand disappears for a moment before re-emerging with a roll of clear tape in his hand. The reveal earning laughter from audience members before cheering for the fan-favorite- the screen fading to black for real.

Next week on Monday Night LAW

Spoiler

Drake Benton walked out from the heel tunnel when his music played. Unlike his normal wrestling gear, he had nice light grey slack pants and a blue wavy pattern button down shirt fit for the fanciest club. Drake also wore sunglasses and strode to the ring confidently. He got in the ring, which had a table with two chairs set up on opposite sides.

Drake carried a (taped up) contract with him. Unfortunately Drake did not understand that you couldn’t just photocopy a certified LAW contract. So he had to use the copy he tore up, which Oscar taped up. After enduring the embarrassment of Cyndi having to give Drake the repaired contract from Oscar and explaining how contracts worked, Drake was ready to get this rolling. Drake waited. And waited. Then he grabbed the mic.
”See?! I knew he wouldn’t show up! I told you Oscar was a ginger bi-“

Oscar's theme music kicked in- interrupting Drake as the Barbarian Prince emerged from behind the curtain and marched down the ramp. Fans let out a pop as Oscar slid into the ring wearing a black sweater with ripped jeans and a casual blue T-shirt- wasting little time as he took a mic in hand and stood across from Drake.

"...So. I see Cyndi got the contract to you ok. That's good. I'm glad you didn't decide to shred it again because it took me like... ten minutes to make sure everything was in the right place"

[ScylliasExoter]

Drake huffed at Oscar’s dig about the contract.
”Maybe I wanted you to have to fix it! Yeah! Suck it.”

The Colossus sat down at the table the contract and a pen in front of him. Before signing, he grabbed the mic.
“First off, every time I hear your music, I want to punch you in the face.”
A chorus of boos rang out.
”But upon further reflection, and yeah I can reflect (Thanks Cyndi!), it really reminds me of why I hate you. Because you can be all care free nice and nerdy and everyone loves you. You’re just nice and get everything you want. Everyone just showers you with praise. You know what I got trying to be nice growing up?”
Drake quickly unhooked his belt and wrapped it around his hand before thumping it down on the table.
”At We Are LAW 7, I’m gonna give you a taste. And all these people will know what I know that you know… That I’m better than you and they’re praising the wrong guy.”
Drake signed the contract and tossed Oscar the mic with an impressively accurate toss that went straight to his hand. The ref then slid the contract to Oscar.

Oscar stared at Drake as the Colossus took his belt off and wrapped it around his fist upon mentioning his experience of trying to be nice to others. While Oscar didn't know if Drake did that to soften the punch to the table, use it as a metaphor for something terrible he experienced, or maybe both- the Barbarian Prince couldn't help suspect that there was more going on here with Drake than him being a bully for hire. Especially given the emotions Drake showed when he crashed Oscar's graduation party.

Watching Drake sign the taped up contract before tossing the mic at him, Oscar caught the microphone and took a few moments to conjure up some words before speaking up.

"... I don't know what happened to you in your life when you tried being kind, Drake, but I do offer my condolences to you in that regard- speaking from experience as someone who got beat up plenty of times for being nice"

There was a firm, yet sympathetic tone to Oscar's voice as he adressed Drake- earning silence from the crowd as they listened.

"There are lots of rotten people out there who mistake kindness for weakness, Drake. I lost how many times growing up I had my face shoved into lockers, my lunch taken from me, and been shoved to the ground. The difference between you and I is that by the sound of things, I never let anyone stop me from smiling and being who I am. While you gave in and became there very people who tormented you- run with the pack instead of standing your ground, I always got back up and dusted myself off. I kept smiling and let my tormentors know that it didn't matter what they did to me or how hard they did it- I wouldn't give in... and they left me alone"

Oscar extended a hand to Drake- just gesturing to the steel Colossus instead of being rude and pointing at him.

"But things don't have to stay like that for you, Drake. There's always time to turn things around and be who you really want to be. In fact- I'll be giving you that chance in our match. I'll eagerly await to see who you want to be when the cage comes down on us and locks us in. I accept your challenge!"

The crowd let out a loud pop as Oscar swiftly signed the contract- officially securing their match for the upcoming PPV!

[ScylliasExoter]

Drake smiled at Oscar signing the contract.
”Good. The way it should be. And for the audience, I think we should let them know what we signed up for… The cage will be locked and surrounded by security. No escaping. And no twins getting in to interfere. Best of three falls, so there’s no fluke, no excuses, and no doubt when I beat you!”

Drake dropped the mic and the two men faced off to the roars of the crowd.

[MappleMan7]

Oscar raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Drake's desire for extra security around the cage for the match- even locking the door as an extra measure. Oscar had no desire

"I like the sound of that... just us, the crowd, and a big metal cage so we don't get any interruptions. You're on, Drake!'

Oscar gave Drake a confident grin before taking his own leave. The contract was signed- now it was time to prepare.
