Who cares about Xander and Gib right now, who cares what they are accusing me of, I know what is right, I know the truth and frankly if that isn't good enough for them, if that isn't satisfactory then **** them. With Christmas on Sunday, and Zelda's birthday right today there isn't a single thought going through my head worrying about them or this match. Whatever “punishment” they have in store for me, whatever grand goal to beat the hell out of me in Kelly's name they might have, it is all meaningless. Kelly wants to turn her back on me? Hmph. There is only one thing on my mind right now, my problems will work out, “her's” can't be fixed so easily.
[Adam walks into his sister's room at her father's house, he has waited for a time when Gib and Xander are both away to deliver his present to her, the one that is neatly tucked behind his back as he walks in through the door. Zelda has a small pink Legend of Zelda kiddy birthday hat on her head and sits on the edge of her bed looking at the floor solemnly.]
“Hey sis.”
“...”
“I got you something... thought it might cheer you up.”
“...”
“Here. Open it. You'll love it I swear.”
[Zelda slowly takes the present, her gaze and her expression are unchanged as she slowly pulls back the box lid and looks inside. Her eyes get wide with surprise in a sudden shift of emotions, she was expecting the typical gift of a classic video game, but she sure as hell wasn't expecting the golden NEW cartridge that laid inside the box in near mint condition.]
“th... the nintendo world championships gold cartridge? A... Adam... I...”
“You've been through a lot... I wanted your twenty first birthday to be something you remembered and not because of well.. you know.. 'that'”
[Zelda finally gives him a half smile when she turns to look at her brother with tears swelling up in her eyes. The unique reaction of both happy and painful tears makes Adam smile nervously until Zelda dives at him and wraps her arms around him in a tight embrace. The tears begin pouring now as Adam's shoulder is clearly soaked, but he doesn't care as he just hugs his little sister back.]
I've fought so many men in my career who have some from every little dark corner of the arena to step up and challenge me for whatever inane reason they might have that week. I've taken on everything Leonard Fox could throw at me, everything that Steve Awesome could do to try and destroy me and my marriage and I've knocked down every single person who has stood in my way. I've broken men's bones, I've crushed people's dreams, and I've ripped away their every hope and desire, but this one... this one hurts. This one cuts deep. I've been stabbed in the back and I have seen my fair share of Benedict Arnolds but I was expecting more from you Xander, I thought your father had taught you better than that... but I guess when he's the one who is throwing the finger of accusation my way, it's only natural for you to fall in line like that good little mindless sheep that you are.
I tried to teach you to use your head, I tried to teach you to survey your surroundings and make a quick but intelligent assessment without thinking with your wild impulses of wanting to inflict the swiftest and most rampant destruction. You always thought, you always reacted with your heart, your savage desires and never with your brain and I told you over and over again that it would lead to your downfall sooner or later... and here we are, you getting on the wrong side of Adam Knite, you walking into the lion's den and to top it off... trying to get inside of my wife's, among other things, head in doing so.
“It's going to be.. You're going to be ok Z.”
[Zelda pulled away from her brother and has laid down on the bed with her hands resting on her stomach, where a growing baby should be and looks up at the ceiling as Adam sits on the edge of her bed patting her leg gently to comfort her, the two apparently having a nice brother/sister conversation, with long, somber faces.]
“You should probably go...”
“You're my sister, it's your birthday, and I'm not going to leave you in this “condition””
“Xander and Daddy are going to be home soon”
“So.”
“So I don't want a big fight on my birthday, don't you think I've been through enough?!”
[Adam turns his head and looks at his sister with a sinister little half grin, the one he always does when he's being a jackass and Zelda just rolls her eyes at the reaction.]
“It wouldn't be much of a fight.”
“Ha.Ha. Come on? Please?”
“Ok sis, just because you said the magic word.”
[Zelda leans up and the two hug again and say their goodbyes but before Adam goes, Zelda grabs his arm and prevents him from walking away, just for a second. She looks worried, and Adam realizes this and gives her a nervous smile while dreading the question he knows is coming.]
“Adam... where's Kelly?”
“She needed some time to 'think'”
“Adam... did you?”
“Z! Do you really have to ask me that?”
“Well Leonard has put you and I both through a lot, I don't know.”
[Adam shakes his head back and forth, very disgusted right now as he lets out a long sigh.]
“Look Z...”
“Nevermind, look, if your innocent you need to prove it to her ok? I'm not going to see you two broken up over this, just don't let her walk away like you almost did with Steve. She loves you, and trusts you.”
“I know Z. I have every intention on proving myself to her... Xander's got nothing... and I'm going to make sure it stays that way.”
Everything you have is because of me Xander, every little peon who is singing your praises is doing so because I led you to the top, every fool that is walking around wearing a Xander Famularo T-Shirt is doing so because I put you where you're at! You'd still be walking around as the big dumb jock with absolutely no personality if I would not have come in and gave you direction, if I would been able to direct that aggression and raw power. That's right, no world title, no Road to the Gold.. nothing, you'd still be the guy losing to Rob Diamond in his every title defense had I not came in and taught you the fight way... and this is your way of thanking me, this is your way of showing your gratitude by trying to rip apart my life, by trying to ruin me?
So typical of you, just ignore all that I've given you and expect more, not looking at the big picture but more at the short sighted and quick gains that you can try and run away with. You don't want to think about the ramifications of your actions, you just know “me want” and nothing else. So much so that the man who is practically your brother means nothing in your eyes, because you've been blinded by greed.
You owe me Xander.. it's not the other way around.
You're not getting what I have. You're not taking her from me.
Without me, you're nothing. Without me, you're nobody.
I'm am your entire career, I made you.
You'd still be walking around in the skull face paint,
Hatebreeder,
If it wasn't for me.
Deal With It.
