FLASHBACK
Alechs Aurelio just had left his NGW Tag Team Championship inside of the ring. He was defeated by Julianna DiMaria, a part of the West Coast Genesis roster at that point. With his head lowered, he heads into the back and avoids all of the roster. He forgoes the pleasantries with some of those on the roster that he was friends with. He sulks into his locker room, grabs his back, and heads out of the arena. He jumps into his Grand Cherokee. He has two choices; continue with life going a way where he did not want it to go… or… run. Run away from it all. Get away from the life that he was attempting to live. And live up to a standard that others set forth for him. His, at the time, girlfriend Honey was waiting for him back at their home in Vegas. Alechs exhaled. He had a talk with his younger brother, Antonio, about the possibility of him being gone. He said his goodbyes. He wrote letters. As Alechs pulled out of the parking lot he headed towards Interstate 15. He had a choice in front of him; one route would lead him to Interstate 15 which would be his drive back to Vegas. The other direction would take him to San Diego and near the Mexico border. If he wanted to run, Mexico would be the place for him to get away from it all. Away from Honey… NGW… the memories… his father…. The pain…. All of it.
As Alechs pulls up to the Interstate, the choice is in front of him. He first begins to turn towards Vegas, but pulls a wide turn and goes further South towards San Diego. He slams his foot down on the gas pedal not looking back. His decision was made. Broken heart. Lost. Scared. Alone. This was the time for Alechs to become a new man. It was a chance for Alechs to become the man that he always saw himself to be. Not the pet boyfriend and someone that had to run everything by their fathers for approval. Alechs always did things on his own. He grew up relying on himself, and he felt he was best that way. Not held back by the chains of someone expecting a certain type of life. No. That was not Alechs. He was never a cub. He was a Lion.
The scene opens up minutes after WrestleForce 2 ends. Alechs had defeated Julianna DiMaria for some redemption of his own. He watched his friend, Adrien, win the title. Azul was gone, and Alechs was back. Better than ever. Hannah Lacey was the first to speak and interview Alechs as he was happy to speak to her without the piece of cloth that separated him from the real world. As the interview was about to go live, Allyce slid in next to him ready to be by his side. She knew that tonight, Alechs could do all of the talking for him. It was his idea for her to be his mouth piece. Without the mask, he no longer needed it. This was the time for Alechs Aurelio to rise up. The Lion would stake his claim. And he would roar mightily.
Hannah: Ladies and gentlemen…
Before she could finish, Alechs began to speak.
Alechs: It is so amazing to be here, Hannah. Boy, what a run it has been lately. As El Leon Azul I did what I set out to do. I donned the mask. I proved myself to be a worthy competitor. And I showed my value as a skilled wrestler without the name that many people know me by. I left on terrible terms. And for that, I am sorry.
Hannah goes to talk, but Alechs continues.
Alechs: I needed to become a better man. To find my own light. I was in a dark place. Unhappy. I hid so much behind a smile of discontent. I… I was expected to be someone I was not. Something I was not. And it goes back even further than her. I can remember starting out in this career. I had a friend… someone I cared about. She was wildly famous. Known. And me? I was some punk kid. I never fit in. I was never something that she’d want to stick around. She would discard me like a toy. Then when I met someone I thought was going to save me from a life that I always was embarrassed about… I never felt myself. I was out of my element. I was not happy. Things were expected of me. I was held to a life that I never asked for. I wanted love. And to be accepted. Not to be expected.
He exhales, as he sees Allyce lean into him. She was his rock. His comfort.
Alechs: I abandoned my life. Family. Friends. My stable mates. I have so much making up to do. And it begins today. I promise to show everyone the light. To allow their darkness to disappear. And Julianna was the first person I want to do that for. She can take it or leave it, what she does it entirely up to her. I removed my mask and revealed myself to her. I opened her eyes. I showed her that she thinks that she can simply get away with whatever she feels like. For actions, there are consequences. She got what was coming to her. I do not regret it. Nor do I regret doing what I had to do. I became a better man. I found that someone that accepts me for me. And this street punk? He got a punk girl for himself.
He smirks as Allyce leans up to kiss him. It was obvious the two of them shared something deep. A real connection. A similar history. Something that could not be explained with words.
Alechs: I know that I have a tag team match coming up. I am teaming with someone that I’ve gotten to know better thanks to my friend, Avery. Dead Eye is something that I can count on being a great partner. And we are taking on Jessica Sears and Dean Matthews. Now, while my knowledge on the “Fanged One” is limited.. It is funny that as an original Guardian I am taking on someone that helped to fill in that missing spot. I wish the both of them only the very best, and I want to let them know that this fire that I have in me? It is not going away. It is not going anywhere. And it is a fire I intend in bringing to Dissension.
Alechs turns towards Hannah.
Alechs: Anymore questions?
Hannah looks a loss for words.
Hannah: No.. I think… that covers it all.
