We begin our scene in the locker room, where Hano Eiyu is doing his warm-ups. He's doing splits with two blocks of wood, stretching his legs to a straight length. If people ask if Rob Van Dam had done it before, then you'd be correct. Hano would complete any exercise to enhance his skills against his opponents. He would do whatever it takes to win any match. Title or non-title, he was determined to aim to be GZWA's no.1 wrestler. The stakes are running higher. With his mask on the line, he needed to give it his all to defend his honor. Suddenly, the door opens and a backstage worker comes in.
"Hano, you have an interview with Christy Hemme. Get ready soon."
Hano nods, as the worker leaves with the door shut. The Swordsman From The East gets off and cools off for a bit. An interview for his biggest match of his life. This is quite something for him. Normally, he wasn't into interviews with anyone. However, he had kept quiet to himself for many weeks. This was because there were many thoughts racing in his head. How it felt like to win the biggest match in his life.
Now, it was time to speak up.
Hano Eiyu, all dressed up and ready, had begun to make way to the interview set. There, he saw Christy Hemme preparing herself for the camera as the crew begin to set up. She noticed Hano and smiled with a wave.
"Hano!"
Now, he was always a reserved person who liked to be alone. But Christy was a nice person. They had talked once after one of the Primetime shows. So, she was an exception. He smiled and nodded as he walked towards her.
"You look mysterious as usual."
He nodded at the compliment.
"You're stunning as ever since we last spoke, Ms. Hemme."
"Pssh! Please. I already told you to call me Christy already."
"Alright then, Christy."
"We about to start. Christy, Hano. Get ready."
Hano nods and looks at Christy.
"This is my first time doing an interview."
"Really? I'm not surprised there. You're always the quiet one backstage."
"I am?
"Yeah. You'd always leave early after the show."
It was true. This was because he had nothing to say to anyone. It wasn't like he was cold and distant from other people. He felt like a stranger to people and didn't feel like talking much because he was tired.
"In 5...4...3...2...1!"
Christy looks at the camera and smiles.
"Good evening, I am here with Hano Eiyu, who is getting ready for his triple threat match at Slammiversary."
She looks at Hano.
"So Hano, after winning Riot Control, you are now the no.1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. How does that make you feel?"
"I can feel the sensation for the biggest match of my life. I have only been in GZWA for a few weeks and I'm already headlining for the company's biggest pay-per-view. Riot Control had allowed my adrenaline to reach up to the limit, where I fought 31 other superstars and divas to win the match. I had done it. I had won one of the biggest main events in history to become not just to become the no.1 contender for the biggest championship title, but to become no.2. Why did I say no.2? I may have defeated almost the entire roster, but not the World Heavyweight Champion. I may not be the Golden Boy of the company, which I don't plan on becoming. I'm simply the Silver Lining of GZWA. Second is not enough. To fulfill my ultimate goal, I need to defeat GZWA's no.1. And that is AJ Styles. So right now, I can feel the excitement coursing through my veins."
Hano takes a slow deep breath and lets it out.
"I can feel the limit of my adrenaline breaking."
"Huge words there. With you mask on the line, what are your thoughts about the stipulations?"
"A lucha de apuestas is a huge prestigious match. From what I heard, this is the first time Mr. ZX has booked something like this. My goal is to not only become GZWA's no.1 and to win the World Heavyweight Championship, but to also defend the honor of my mask. 'Faceless' is what people had used to call me before when I was in another company. People have said that I have hid behind the mask to protect my cowardice. Unfortunately for them, once I remove it, if there was a chance, it would make no difference. Because I will still stand strong and tall to motivate myself to achieve my goal. There are many hardships and struggles that I will have to go through. But I will earn my spot into becoming no.1. So whatever Xion Zeros puts in front of me, I will break through it will as much skill as I can deliver. If I have to pin AJ Styles to win the match, then I will do so. Whatever rule or stipulation he puts in front of me, I will overcome the odds."
"What do you think about your opponents at Slammiversary? How will you beat them?"
"AJ Styles is GZWA's blue chipper. He is a show stopper that will make the best matches out of anybody. He is one of the great world champions since Alkertraz's reign. He is a man of honor, who is willing to fight for his life without any disgraceful shortcuts or major setbacks. There is no other man that I would love to face than Mr. Styles. He has gone through thick and thin to defeat his opponents. To earn this new title has to be one of his biggest accolades. We have mutual respect for each other, as we have worked together to make this a fair fight. However, he thinks he can retain his championship against either of us at the end of the bout. I hope he doesn't disappoint me, as I would love to witness his full potential at our match. A worthy wrestler of all, my only hope is to defeat him. I hope my skills will be enough to do so."
"As for El Arrendajo Ardiente, what I admire about him is that he has the determination to put his rival to rest. He will do whatever it takes to defeat him once and for all. However, what disgusts me about him is that he will use the dirtiest tactics to win. He has showed a lot of dishonor to luchadors and high flyers around the world. In fact, whenever I look at him, he's nothing but a masked thug that will use a shortcut to defeat me or Mr. Styles in anyway. I've beaten him along with the rest of the roster. I hope to do so again. I will do whatever it takes to show him that cheaters never prosper. I will show him the way of the Bushido code. El AA. You better listen up. You have better get ready for the biggest match of your life. Because I know I am. I know that I do not have the right to say this, but at Slammiversary, you're not going to pin GZWA's no.1."
He points at himself.
"I am!"
Christy looked at Hano, shocked that he is showing quite a huge passion. So were the crew behind the camera. That is however shortlived as The Ronin regains his composure.
"For my strategies, I will have to improvise. Inspiration comes from the most unexpected places. So I will use whatever creative tactic to wear down my opponents. Whether on the ground, standing, top rope, turnbuckle or outside, I will use my skill in whatever environment I face my opponent in. I may be young with less experience, but I'm a quick learner. That means, I will use my full potential to defeat my opponents."
"Any final words for your fans before we finish?"
Hano nods and looks at the camera.
"To all my fans who have supported me from my debut to my biggest match of my life, I would like to thank you for doing so. From the beginning, I did not expect many of you to cheer me on as I had made my debut. When I was in Riot Control, you were cheering your hearts out for your favorite wrestlers. I thought that I was simply the dark horse of the match. But when it came to the final four, I could hear you all chanting "Hano! Hano! Hano! Hano!". I had never felt more honored in my entire life. Thanks to you all, I had won and defeated almost everyone in the entire roster. I will make sure to honor you all back as I walk through this path of flames. I hope you will all support me as I complete this final trial to become not only the World Heavyweight Championship, but to become GZWA's no.1."
He bows in front of the camera.
"With that, arigatou."
"And...we're clear!"
The camera stops recording and the crew claps for him.
"Nice work there, Hano."
He nods, and just before he was about to leave...
"Hey."
He turns around and looks at Christy, who smiles at him.
"That was a really good interview for a first time."
"Arigatou."
"When you're going up, I'll be rooting for you."
This was the first time Hano had genuinely smiled. He had loved the fans for his support. And he'll need to repay their support by winning the World Heavyweight Championship. He nodded as he walked off as he left the interview set, Christy smiling at him.
((The dialogue here contains fully Japanese. So, google translation advised.))
Our final scene begins in Hano Eiyu's apartment, unmasked but face hidden in the darkness of the night. He seems to be calling someone. As the phone rings, tensions had begun to raise up really high. Finally, the call has been answered.
"Kon'nichiwa."
"Mama, no imōto?"
The receiving end is quiet for a while as he waits for someone else to pick up.
"Otōto?"
"Nē, ane. Watashi wa anata no tame no biggunyūsu o motte iru."
The rest of the scene fades out as whatever we were about to witness will be a mystery.
