Well, this could have gone better...much better...to say the very least.

Sure, when Zarek chose both Jade and Scott Addams, he didn't expect things to go well. But then again, he didn't expect things to go this horribly bad, either. Zarek had loyal friends, and certain alliances throughout BUD, but as time progressed, they all ended up leaving the domain. As fate would have it, the only people Zarek would even think about teaming with, he didn't exactly like very much. Jade, there was a hell of a lot of history there, and everyone knows how that turned out. Scott Addams, the cocky loud mouth that Zarek would like nothing more than to kick his face in. He was man enough to admit he needed there help, but would they really let personal relationships stop them from representing the new generation against the veterans? If so, it would be revealed soon.

"First things first, I am all for actually pulling this out of our asses and winning. I wouldn't have picked you two if I knew you wouldn't be able to do it. I wanted to have a challenge. Frost thought the win over him was unfair, so what better way to prove to him that the new generation is better, than if I partner with two people I don't exactly get along with? Think of it as another obstacle to overcome. Both of you. Don't you want to be able to say you stuck it to three veterans while partnering with two other people you despise. Don't get me wrong. I dislike both of you just as much as you dislike me, but if we actually pull this off, then there will be no doubt in anyones mind who is better. The new generation is rising, we all know that, but how about we actually prove it and defeat them once and for all?"

He let it sink in for a few seconds, hoping that no one would object. He had to admit, he made a good argument. Even Jade and Scott had to be inspired by such words. Then again, they would have to be in a good mood for what was coming next.

"With that being said, this whole figuring out a leader deal...if anyone will lead this team into complete chaos it's going to be Scott."

Jade piped in.  "I second that notion..."

Of course, Scott had something to say.

"I don't think you understood me the first time, you d..."

Same as before, Zarek put his hand in front of Scott's face in order to shut him up.

"Save it for someone who actually cares about your bullshit, Scott. Your way of 'leading' this team would be showcasing you, in turn running us into the ground. I could care less if you've won a tag title or not, and even if I did, Drew probably carried you to that damn belt. You've been name dropping, and busting out all these so called accomplishments since you've gotten here. What you don't get is that nobody cares, and you still haven't proven shit around here."

"What would you call this undefeated streak?"

"I call it a stroke of luck? You had me on your team for one win, you beat a newcomer, you beat Manic who was obviously experiencing some problems in his life, due to the fact that he left right after. This little streak you are having, as Jade said, can easily be damaged if we decide to not show up."

"I'm the number one contender to the BUDvision title, and what are you? Nothing."

Zarek smiled, despite the fact that Zarek had attempted to cram such things into his brain, Scott still didn't get it. For some odd reason, he still though he was the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe a humble pie would do. Zarek partly wanted to throw the match, just to see him get pinned, but would ultimately decide against it. No, the day would come that he would fall, he would fall hard, and Zarek would be there to laugh his ass off.

"You've been here for how long Scott, and you're only the number one contender? I captured that title in under a month. What have you done? Chased down a number one contenders spot? Sorry. I'm pretty sure I hold superiority over you in that area."

"I really don't see how past wins are going to help us here, Zarek. You won the title a year ago, he's the number one contender, I'm the champion, big fuckin' deal. Tell me again why this matters?"

"Yeah, dipshit. Why does it matter that you got lucky ages ago?"

"The truth, I'm attempting to make some point about how we're all in the same boat. It's not really working because someone keeps interupting!"

"Admit it Zarek, you can't lead this team to victory. I'm the only one with enough tag team experience to do so, and you know it. Admit it Zarek, you talk all big, but in the end, you're nothing."

"You know Scott, I successfully defended the BUDvision at Ultimate War last year, and I won't hesitate to win it again this year."

"Don't forget who the actual champion is Zarek."

Obviously, these words were getting them nowhere. Whenever someone tried to take control of the situation, the other two had something to rebel against. They were all a couple of leaders, and wouldn't be able to change into followers overnight. They all wanted to take control, but what they all failed to see is that no one person would be able too.

"Here's the thing. As much as I hate to admit it, Jade's right..."

Adding, in her arrogant tone. "Of course I'm right."

"That's besides the point. The truth is, this match isn't about one person showcasing what they've got, it's about teamwork. Believe it or not, if it were one of us against three of them, even you Scott wouldn't be able to take them out. Do it. Prove me wrong, I dare you, but you know it's true. If we want to walk out of this, then we're going to have to work together."

"And how do you suppose we do this, oh mighty sensai? I'm not exactly known for my great teamwork. I prefer to work on my own, because on my own, I'm perfection."

Zarek laughed, but he'd let that one slide. They'd done enough fighting. Atleast they were on the same page at this point.

"I think we've all discovered that we'd all rather be working alone, Scott. You think I want to work with you?"

"And you think I want to work with you? Sorry babe, but you forget, I've seen you in the ring first hand. To be honest, I'd rather be working with one of the better divas, like Tani Lyons."

"Ha. Tani has nothing on me, which is why she's only been able to make it in a female dominated division. See this title, it's put out there for both genders to hold, and yes, it's mine. I'm pretty sure you've been thinking about how you're going to injure me, so you can get the upperhand at Ultimate War. Even if you do, you're not walking out with my title."

"Like I would even need to attack you to get the win. You do a great job of screwing up, all by yourself."

"Hey! I'm not saying we have to be best buddies. We don't even have to be friends. Hell, I don't even like you." He turns his glance to Jade, "Either of you. Akasha, Justin Black, and Jake Frost may not be as impressive as us individually, but together they are murder."

"I still think this was a stupid idea..."

"Well you know what, nobody asked you. If you want to keep your title, and Scott if you want to keep your precious ego, then we're stuck together. It's as simple as that, really."

Great, something they already knew. So now they were right back to where they started from. Looking for a strategy with them actually working together, while trying desperatly attempting to hold back on tearing each others throats out. Nice.
