The Fanged Angels, Level Up!
File 018: Tandem | タンデム (Part 1)
“Of all the days for the camera to not work…”
Rosalyn Fernandes visibly twitched before the camera. She continued to make adjustments and checks, making sure all the cords were connected.
Rosalyn: “That’s in the right place. This is connected. Internet is… oh, there we go.”
She moved behind the camera, lifted it up, and aimed it towards Jessica Sears. She was wearing her Captain America cosplay, for the time being, her long blonde hair flowing freely without being tied or braided. She looked towards the camera with a sheepish grin.
Jessica: “This is what happens when we decide to record at the last second…”
Rosalyn: “No kidding. You’re lucky I’m a pro!”
Rosalyn stuck her tongue out before she zoomed out a little. She was focused on the attire of Jessica’s choice.
Rosalyn: “Alright, you’ve seen what Dead Eye and El Azul Léon… er, I mean Alechs Aurelio have recorded, right?”
Jessica: “Yes, I’ve done my research.”
Jessica walked up to the center of the living room of the suite. She took a single chair with a nice decor and turned it so the back was towards the camera.
Jessica: “So… one of the Original Guardians has finally returned.”
And with a simple beginning, Jessica took a seat and placed her right arm along the top of the chair. She mimicked the same look that Steve Rogers gave the viewing audience in those mentor videos from Spider-Man: Homecoming… at least before she started giggling.
Jessica: “I’m sorry, I swear I rehearsed this move and I still think it’s funny!”
She rested her head on her arm and her giggle fit continued. Behind the camera, however, Rosalyn rolled her eyes.
Rosalyn: “Oh my god…”
Rosalyn shook her head.
Rosalyn: “Dean! Corral your woman!”
The big man came into view behind Jess, no longer dressed in the cosplay, as he wasn’t nearly as into it as she was. He wore instead a simple black T-Shirt with the words “The Fanged Entity” across the shoulders and a blank front. An old shirt of his dad’s and a pair of black jeans. His own hair was braided down his back, no doubt by Jess as she loved to braid his hair.
He glanced down at Jessica and lifted a brow before looking up at Ros and shaking his head. Nah, he wasn’t gonna corral his woman. He liked her having fun… but they were on a deadline.
Dean: “Focus.”
Jessica: “I know, I’m trying. Teehee, hang on…”
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly once. Twice. Three times… and by that third time, she adjusted her position and looked into the camera, the look in her eyes friendly but still determined. It was her trademark, after all.
Jessica: “WrestleForce 2, the world saw the Blue Lion face off against the wicked Julianna DiMaria. It was an intriguing build to this moment, and while I was still regaining myself after suffering the effects of the Hundred Rending Fists, I was able to pay attention. After you defeated Julianna, you began to slowly take off your mask… As much as Julianna doesn’t want to relive the moment, the fact of the matter is you were the man behind the mask the entire time, Alechs. One of the original Guardians who stood tall with Adrien Cochrane, my future brother-in-law. Through the sheer brutality of an inferno match, you were banished into the darkness by the very same woman you finally sought vengeance on. You called it “showing her the light”. That’s kind of what a paladin does. We just do it with a little more force.”
Sears offered a sincere smile and rested her left arm over the top of the chair now.
Jessica: “After fighting in two gruesome wars… I don’t think I’m tied to the Oath of Vengeance anymore. I helped stop the Destroyers. I assisted in the disbandment of the Children of Nephilim. My journey of vengeance is over. Vengeance is no longer my affinity… My purpose. This must be a similar feeling, right Alechs? Looking for a new path, a brand new light in your life. Mein Liebe knows all about that.”
With a bigger smile, she turned her head to look back at Dean. Dean shifted from looking down at her to the camera. Unlike her, there was no friendly determination in those cold icy blue eyes. There was only the promise of violence, pain, and suffering. Though, he did crack a tiny smile.
Dean: “You know. I find myself disappointed.”
Jessica: “Why is that?”
Dean: “I want the half an hour of my life back it took to watch their promotional videos. Like seriously, one passing comment from Lucha man and less than that by Mr. Eye. Seriously? Did I waste half an hour of my life for that? Come on boys, you gotta do a little better than that, or we aren’t gonna think you are taking us seriously. Which wouldn’t just be a mistake….it would be a fatal one.”
From behind the camera, Rosalyn spoke up.
Rosalyn: “He’s not wrong, gents. You’ve taken so much time focusing on the past and the future… that you’ve hardly paid attention to the present. This tag team match is happening tonight, Alechs, Charles. There’s barely any time to say anything else. Hell, Dean and Jess are on the verge of running out of time.”
Jessica: “There’s still time, relax.”
Looking up from her seat, Jessica faced the camera once again and sighed.
Jessica: “I will admit… Dean and Rosalyn make a good point. You’re an established professional wrestler, Alechs. You’ve been in NGW longer than I have. You’ve always been one for honor and respect. I expected so much more out of you. You came off a great victory against Julianna at WrestleForce 2. You were a bit short in the triple threat match at Fallout… against Kayla Richards and Dead Eye, no less. You’ve still got an impressive record. I just wish there was… more going into this match. I wanted to be inspired, Alechs. Instead, you’ve kind of left me… wandering. You say a few words towards us and that’s the end of the video. Boom, done.”
She drew her arms back and casually shrugged. Her body language almost expressed boredom. As if to make this a literal conclusion, Rosalyn manipulated the camera to fade from one perspective…
