The Last Blacksmith Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 (The following scene takes place during RIOT 571) The scene opens in Riot's backstage. Blacksmith, sore after the tough match he won against Rust Cohle, is headed to his dressing room when he casually passes Stacy Clark's Little Sister, speaking to a camera. SCLS: "Ladies and gentleman, I have some breaking news for you. The Mantis, who was originally slated to take part in next week's match as the mystery sixth participant of the Rookie Rush, has suddenly been removed from the match after a fan-made video depicting him talking about the match with a fan came to light. OCW General Manager Mr. Sensation is reportedly furious backstage following this revelation…" [/b][/b] Blacksmith: Damn it... The Last Blacksmith sighs, and begins to search for The Mantis while SCLS continues her briefing in the background. After a few minutes of searching, The Last Blacksmith finds him looking at his cell phone, leaning on a wall that stands in front of the entrance to the parking lot. The Mantis: Hey, mate! Congratula-oh. You okay- Not even time to finish, as Blacksmith grabs The Mantis, slamming him against the concrete wall. Blacksmith: The Rookie Rush. Does that mean something to you? Do you have anything to tell me? If so, I suggest you do it quickly, or I will send you to the doctor again... The Mantis: Gahh! Hey! Stop! What're you doing?! Blacksmith: YOU WERE IN THE ROOKIE RUSH! AND YOU WERE ABLE TO GET THROWN OUT BECAUSE YOU TOLD EVERYTHING TO A STUPID FAN! Blacksmith: What the fuck is your brain even telling you?! I can't understand what's stopping me from slaughtering you to the point of ending your miserable and nonexistent career right here, right now. The Mantis: No, stop, please! I-I thought I was speaking to someone from the media! It was an honest mistake! Please, you gotta believe me! Blacksmith stares at The Mantis furiously, eventually releasing his grip, before pointing a gloved finger at him Blacksmith: Now listen to me, and listen well. I'm not going to waste time, so be very careful. This is the last bullshit you do. Do something like that again, and I swear I'll leave you in the depths, mocked by useless folks like Elliot Parker or other rookies who don't even know where the bathroom is in this damn building. Is that clear? The Mantis nervously nods yes. TLB: I sure as hell hope so. Tomorrow, Combat Center, 6am. Don't be late. The Last Blacksmith walks away leaving The Mantis a bloody pulp yet again as the scene fades to black... 4
