Too bad for Commander Sam, I always liked him. Nerver was a fan of Omega. This was a great card and Morpheus once again shows his dark side. Things are going to explode between him and Omega real soon I think. Gina is a great character addition, and I think Omega's going to have to come to her aid at some point in the future, if not sooner after leaving with those two guys Morpheus hired. Thanks for reading. GLad you like the addition of Gina to the story. I am really starting to like that character, which makes it hard to keep putting her in bad situations. But that won't stop me  If you like Commander Sam , wait till you see what happens to him on th enext card. The dice took his match and his character in a whole new direction (with Morpheus pulling the strings, of course.) |

Morpheus is in his office.
“BEEP! BEEP!”
The door signal goes off.
“That fool is here.”
Morpheus takes a drink of Romulan Ale.
“I have been dreading this all morning. ENTER!”
Omega walks into the office. He sees the bottle of ale on Morpheus’ desk.
“Drinking this early?”
“Just need to calm the nerves. I’ve got a lot of meetings today.”
“Then let’s get to work. What was all that with Commander Sam’s entrance last night”
“I was trying to get the fans excited about Sam and the title match.”
‘That had to cost a lot. Why didn’t you run that expense by me? We are supposed to make large financial decisions together.”
“I know that. But Sam was your opponent. It would have been a conflict of interest to include you in any decisions regarding that match.”
“And exactly how did all that pre-match hoopla benefit the GWF?”
“It didn’t. Sam was not ready for the spotlight. I pushed him into a position that he was not ready for. I am sorry. I made a bad call.”
‘I am glad to hear you admit that, old friend. Now, what about Gina Willa Firestar?”
“That is one area that I will not apologize for. The ticket sales were up last night. It was all about Gina.”
“How can you say that? And even if it was due to her, is that the reason we want fans coming to the GWF? For sex?”
“It’s not like they were sleeping with her, you idi….”
Morpheus pauses.
“Listen, I am willing to make a compromise here. I will let you design the next commercial spot. No Gina. No sex. Just promote the matches any way you see fit. If the gate is up again, then I will concede to your wisdom, ‘old friend’. That will prove that the fans just want good one on one competition. If that is the case, then I will fire Gina. But if the gate is down, will you agree that she does help sell tickets?”
“That is fair, my friend. I agree. But you will see. People want to watch good, honorable competition.”
“About that, I have some exciting news for you. I have managed to secure you several speaking engagements at schools across the galaxy. You will go and talk about the benefits of athletic competition as a means of releasing pent up aggression. This is your opportunity to spread the message of the GWF to kids all across the galaxy.”
“What a great idea. Thank you for setting this up.”
“Now, ‘old friend’, I don’t mean to rush you, but I do have a day full of meetings.”
“I understand. Thank you again for these speaking opportunities. This will be great for the GWF!”
Omega leaves the office.
“And it will be great for me to get you out of my hair for a while.”
BEEP! BEEP!
The door signal sounds again.
“ENTER”
Ricken Prince enters the office.
“Ricken Prince, I am so glad you could meet with me today.”
“The pleasure is yours.”
“Indeed it is. The reason I asked you to meet with me today is that I think you are one of the GWF’s top stars. But there is something that keeps you from making it to main event status.”
“The Prince lacks nothing!”
“That is where you are mistaken. I have been watching your matches closely. And it seems like you are lost.”
Ricken Prince stands up and begins to leave.
“The Prince will not tolerate being insulted by a mere peon.”
Ricken Prince turns to leave.
“A Princess!”
Ricken Prince stops.
“You need a Princess. A man of royalty cannot be truly complete without a noble princess at his side.”
“You make sense. Go on.”
“I do not know about royalty, but it seems to me that a genuine, royal princess should be able to inspire her prince to achieve greatness never before imagined.”
‘YES!”
Ricken Prince sits back down.
“I really want you to find your princess. After your next match, I want you to cut a promo. Talk about how you will be searching for a princess. Then, at future GWF events, you will pick a potential ‘princess’ from the audience. If you win the night’s match, she gets to come back again to prove her royal ability to inspire you. If you lose, then she was obviously not your princess and you will need to select another candidate at the next card. How does that sound to you, your Highness?”
“The Prince finds your idea to have merit, despite coming from a peon. I will commence my search for a suitable princess. Perhaps this quest is why I was drawn to the GWF in the fist place.”
“Good luck, my ‘Prince’”
Ricken Prince leaves the office.
“And with that, Omega will see yet again that sex does sell!”
Morpheus refills his glass with Romulan ale. He takes a drink.
BEEP! BEEP!
“Enter!”
Solar Flare and Moonstrike enter the office.
Solar Flare speaks.
“You wanted to see us?”
“Yes. Thank you for making time to meet with me. The two of you are an amazing tag team. You nearly took the GWF Tag Team Championship away from me, not once but twice. You guys have the potential to be two of the most popular wrestlers in the GWF. We just need to tweak your image a little.”
Moonstrike looks upset.
“What do you mean by ‘tweak’?”
“I mean this…”
Morpheus gets up from his chair and walks over to two cases located to the side of the desk. He pushes a button on each case, which causes them to open up, revealing two 20th century electric guitars.”
“What are those?” asks Solar Flare.
“Guitars. They are an old musical instrument. They were very popular on Earth in the twentieth century.”
“You want us to play music?” asks Moonstrike.
“Yes! Yes I do. You see, my research shows that we are not reaching the teenage girl demographic. And teenage girls like young men that play guitars. The two of you will be very popular!”
“No way!” declares Solar Flare. “We are here to wrestle, not to pander to little girls.”
“Just think about it. You guys will be selling cd’s, T-shirts, stuffed bears,…the possibilities are endless.”
Both members of Paladin Power turn to leave.
“We are not interested.” reiterates Solar Flare.
“Just think about it. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. Fame and fortune. Don’t pass it up.”
Paladin Power leaves the office.
“They will be back.” declares Morpheus as he takes another drink of ale.
BEEP! BEEP!
“Enter.”
A dark haired young man enters the office. He hands Morpheus a data disk.
“Did you get good holo-photos?”
“Oh yes. You will find them very provocative. We had a GRAT time last night. It was almost so much fun that we would have done it for free.”
“I am glad you enjoyed yourself. Now, get out of here before someone sees you.”
The young man leaves the office.
Morpheus refills his glass with the ale. He inserts the data disk into his computer and puts his feet up on the desk.
“Let’s see if those boys got some good shots of our Miss Firestar in compromising situations.”
KA-BOOM!
Morpheus’ computer screen blows up and at the same time the lights in the office go out.
A voice sounds in the darkness.
“Heed Vallah’s Message! Do no harm to the girl’s soul.”
The lights in the office come back on.
Morpheus looks at the bottle of Romulan Ale.
“Maybe I need to give up drinking.”
He sees the glass of ale on his desk and finishes it.
“No, not a chance of giving this up. Must be stress. Time to call it a day.”
Morpheus retrieves the data disk from his computer.
“Miss Firestar, we will continue this at my place.”

Really great promos my friend!!
I like that Morpheus is letting Omega discover for himself that sex sells wrestling.
Ricken Prince looking for his princess from the crowd at each show....BRILLIANT!!!
Paladin Power with a rocker image....LOL!
And the foreshadowing of The Messenger's entrance into the EC era...EXCELLENT!!!
Finally, you are doing a fantastic job detailing the character of Morpheus.
"Miss Firestar, we will continue this at my place." That is amazing character depth right there! Great job buddy!!

"Miss Firestar, we will continue this at my place." That is amazing character depth right there! Great job buddy!! Thanks for the compliment on my portrayal of Morpheus. I started my Early Classics fed because I wanted to focus on Omega, but Morpheus quickly became my favorite. I quickly saw him playing Darth Sideous' role in The Phantom Menace, manipulating events behind the scenes to his advantage. He is a TON of fun to write. Too bad we won't know what Morpheus had in mind for Paladin Power's rocker image And I sure hope The Messenger retains the CWA title so he can follow up on his threat to Morpheus. OR was that merely the ale talking?  ? |

A close up of the GWF Heavyweight Championship gold medal is show. Omega’s voice is heard.
“This is the symbol of excellence. The ultimate prize for two men competing, one on one, in honorable competition. Come to the Deimos arena and witness two of the best in professional wrestling compete for this prize as I, Omega of Cetus, take on Torin Caelum for the GWF Heavyweight Championship. The GWF-your place for the best in honorable professional wrestling!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morpheus grows red in the face. He throws his glass of Romulan Ale at the Holo-screen.
“THAT IDIOT! He thinks THAT is going to get people to come to our next card?”
Morpheus walks over to the small bar in his apartment and pours a new glass of ale. He then takes a data disk and inserts it into a holo-player.
“Oh Miss Firestar, if only you knew how much you help me relax.”
He pushes play.
“It looks like we are going to need your services BIG TIME!”

The door buzzer sounds.

The men leave the office.
Morpheus pushes a button on his communicator.
‘Miss Firestar, it’s Morpheus. How are you? Good. Can we meet tomorrow to talk about a new round of GWF commercials. No, we decided to go back to using you as our spokesperson. Yeah, the new marketing idea is just not working. Yes. Yes. Good. I’ll see you tomorrow. By the way, how are things going with that nice young man you met at the last show. Really. I’m sorry to hear that it did not work out. He seemed like such a nice boy. Well, we’ll talk more tomorrow. Good night Miss Firestar.”

“I, Ricken Prince, am searching for my Princess. I believe that destiny has brought me to the GWF to find a magical female to be my Princess. Beginning with next month’s card, I will search the crowd for that one, magical female amongst all of you peons. If she is truly a Princess, she will be able to inspire The Prince to victory. If you believe that you are that magical female, be sure to be here next month and do what needs to be done to get my attention. You have been privileged to hear a word from Ricken Prince.”
The man rolls up the scroll.
-Omega is lying on a cot in the clinic. Morpheus is at his side.
“Omega, you cannot defend the title tonight. Not with a mild concussion.”

“Great, cause’ that’s exactly why they are here.” says Morpheus, sarcastically.
-Commander Sam vs. Torpor
Commander Sam comes to the ring to new music.
As his music plays, the fans begin to chant
“YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!
Commander Sam looks saddened by the fans reaction. When he reaches the ring, he grabs a microphone.
“I know that I let all of you down at the last GWF card.”
The fans boo.
“But that was just one night. I put my life on the line for you day after day after day during the Galactic War.”
The fans boo louder.
“I….”
Tears come to Commander Sam’s eyes.
“I don’t deserve this.”
Morpheus is in his office watching the match on a monitor.

The whip CRACKS again.
“CROCK!”
“You all finally realized that when Omega and Morpheus decided to push that madman Commander Sam.”
CRACK!
“MADMAN!”
“They tried to call him a hero. You want to know who a real hero is….Torpor. He has no friends backstage, because Omega and Morpheus want all of us to think that he is evil. But we befriended him. And do you know what we learned? Torpor did not want to fight in the war. Torpor was a teacher. But he was drafted into the Cygnan military. And to make sure he fought, they imprisoned his sister. That’s right. Hs sister. If he refused to fight, she would have spent the rest of her life in jail. He did what he did for his sister. Now THAT’S a hero.”
CRACK!

“Now that you know the truth about Omega, Morpheus, and Commander Sam, I promise you that Dorado Sundown will stop at nothing to bring those HYPOCRITES down!.”
CRACK!
“HYPOCRITES!”
The fans cheer loudly.

There is nothing better than coming home from a job you hate and finding out that a friend not only read my fed, but liked it and posted comments about it. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my favorite Early Classics card so far. So many character development items. Sam gets frustrated and turns heel. Dorado Sundown becomes unlikely fan favorites. Omega and Morpheus are now booed because of their association with Sam and the fact that the Dorados don't like them. Ricken Prince looks for his Princess but is too "good" to address the crown himself so a page reads a scroll. It was a lot of FUN to write. I am flattered at the Fed of the MOnth candidate. There are so many AMAZING feds out there. I am just glad that people find mine enjoyable. |

I really like how this card shows the power of the fans voice. They pretty much decide who your faces and heels are going to be and it is going to be an interesting flip to see Dorado Sundown on the face side of the fight with Omega/Morpheus.
Oh and I hope Screw puts Omega down.
