"Another Stepping Stone." Part Two.
METHDS OF MADNESS: ahdhdldnwniknxnowjdf. Yeeeaaah, nothing to say here.

Zarek awoke to the feeling of an earthquake, or what seemed to be an earthquake. He began to shake, and could hear noise, but couldn't put the sounds together. He was half asleep and wasn't entirely sure of what was going on. Opening his eyes, he realized that it wasn't an earthquake in the least bit, but his driver, rather, shaking him awake.

"Mr. Lyle, I have been trying to wake you. We've reached our destination."

Destination? Zarek hadn't instructed Gerard to take him anywhere, he had just simply stated he wanted to get out of the arena. Had Gerard took that has bringing him to a specific location? All Zarek had wanted was to rest in the back of his comfortable limo, and enter a world where exaughstion doesn't exist. Gerard has snatched him out of that world, had dropped him into a place unknown.

"Umm...Gerard, I didn't instruct you to drive me anywhere specific, why would you bring me here?"

"Well, I heard you speaking to Miss Gellar on the phone earlier, about how you were going to need all the help you can get against Dannica..."

"You were eavesdropping? Who do you think you are, the FBI or something? You don't have the right to..."

"So I called on a few favors and I arranged for a friend to go out and buy some tapes."

Zarek stopped and blankly looked at Gerard. Maybe it was because Gerard was originally from another country, but Zarek didn't quite understand Gerard's tactics and instantly knew he wouldn't make it in the wrestling industry.

"Tapes? You got a friend to go rent some tapes? I know you're trying to help, but tapes, Gerard? How will watching the latest blockbuster help me?"

"So you can get a good look at Dannica's abilities. We all know she's great, but if you watch some, I think you'll have a better chance of defeating her."

Hmm...it was a thought, but Zarek wasn't sure what good it would do. He had seen Dannica in action before, and didn't see any flaws in her execution, so what could he learn from a tape that he hadn't learned already. All the same, like he said before, he needed all the help he could get, so even though it could be nothing, it couldn't hurt.

"Ummm...okay, sure, why not? Where are they?"

"Oh, I have them right here, I went inside and got them while you were sleeping."

Gerard outstretched his hand with a couple of tapes in it. Zarek glanced at the stack of about four DVDs in little cases. He took them from Gerard's hand and knodded to the driver.

Popping the first DVD in. "Going back a little bit before I walked through the doors of BUD, let's take a look at how Danni performed at Krystmas Kaos. She went head to head against Wallstreet in a Steel Cage Match, with Stephanie McMahon-Margera herself, as the referee. I'm not sure what the circumstances were, surounding this match, but I know what happened during. Dannica performed brilliantly, of course, but wasn't able to pull the win out. Don't give me the third degree, I know she was screwed out of the win, but lost all the same. I do have to admit you put on a spectacular performance though, I mean, you really had him beat, not like anyone doubted you or anything. But the thing that is killing me is that everyone tells me you're undefeated, but how can you be undefeated when you clearly lost on this tape? You were screwed over, yes, but a clear loss. If Leaky Format is allowed to say he got one over on me, then I see no reason why this isn't considered a loss. If I'm wrong, then please tell me, because I wouldn't want to put a damper on Dannica's 'undefeated' record. I suppose she is undefeated, if you go by matches she wasn't screwed out of, but otherwise, no."

Zarek took out the first tape, popped it back into it's case, and quickly popped in another one.

"2007 Wayz 2 Die put you up against Jessica Michaels, a point unworthy in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Miss Michaels is great, but wouldn't be my choice in trying to take the Bytch strap off of Dannica. She certainly was no match for you, was she Danni? It was a good match, but nobody really thought that Jessica would be able to take that title off your waist, did they? Were you so worn out from Wallstreet that you had to take a little breather before taking on some more of the top dogs? I know you have to defend your title at every pay-per-view and all, but atleast you could have challenged yourself. Why do you bother agreeing to these matches that you know are a breeze? We know you're great, you know you're great, so why did you choose to stay down so long? We all know the Bytch Champion isn't on many Hangovers, just each PPV and a couple shows every now and then. But why? Where you afraid that if you were on more shows, then you might actually find someone that could defeat you fairly? Because you sure as hell wouldn't, and didn't, find it at 2007 Wayz 2 Die."

Next stop, Ultimate War VI.

"Ultimate War VI saw Dannica go head to head with Blaze Inferno for the Bytch strap. Wow, THEE Blaze Inferno, wow, Dannica must have had her hands full with this one. Hopefully you all know that I'm kidding. Was Jessica not available for this pay-per-view or something? Oh yes, she was too busy facing Nova to compete for the Bytch title. Was Blaze really the only female left that would take a shot at the champion? How cute, Dannica got herself a bye week. It's almost as if you're going down in the talents of your opponents, Dannica. First we have Wallstreet, definitely a legend on the MSN circuit, then we fall down to Jessica Michaels, an okay opponent but definitely no Wallstreet, and finally down to the bottom where Blaze Inferno lay. The whole world knows that you're better than that, so why settle for a one-on-one with Blaze? I just don't get it."

It was a mystery as to why Dannica was spending her time with such rejects, and not pushing herself to her full potential. It's known that Dannica is one tough chick, and can beat most of, if not all, of the members on the roster, but why has she been wasting her time? Was she a bit afraid to step-up to the next division, she hid out in the division that she knew she could rule with an iron fist? Who knows.

"At BUDmania, management gave you two opponents. Well, they're getting closer, but definitely not enough to keep you down, eh Danni? No, I wouldn't think so. Jessica and Blaze couldn't get the job done on their own, and they would definitely not pull one over on the Bytch champ while competing in the same match. Atleast management tried to throw something at you though, atleast they're trying to challenge you, by throwing to opponents at you. So even though I do consider Dannica to be great, I haven't seen her full potential, atleast I hope I haven't. She lost to Wallstreet, defeated Jessica Michaels, and Blaze Inferno. Hmm..."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a compare to Wallstreet, because at this point in my career, I sure as hell don't, but what I am saying is that I can defeat some of your other opponents. Technically, since I've been here, I haven't seen you go up against anyone special. Blaze Inferno, Genna, Jessica Michaels, no one to match your talent. I'm not flat out saying I can pull one out, but what I'm saying is, I atleast have somewhat of a chance, unless proven otherwise."

Gone.
