Own no intellectual properties. I have had some characters designed for a pro wrestling story for a while now and just wanted to find an outlet on here to put them. After a friend referred me to "Wanna Be the World's Strongest." I felt this was a good storyline and good characters to work with. This story is going to be focusing on plot, characters, drama and action.

Kanae sat down across from Takeo as she pulled out her recorder as well as a pen and notepad.

" I really appreciate you giving me of all people the exclusive Takeo."

" You're Miss Toyoda's friend, plus you're a wrestler. I knew I'd eventually have to talk about it, so I figured it would be best to go through you."

" Well I promise, I wont get too deep on the questions. So let's get started." Kanae said as she pressed the button on her recorder.

" I'm sitting here with the wrestler commonly known as Wild Child. Thanks for talking with me."

" Sure thing."

" So…. You've been wrestling for a while now and you've really been making a statement in the ring over the past few years."

" I guess you could say that."

" Now in spite of having wrestled for that long, it's only been recently discovered you are in fact the son of Kenji "The Lionheart" Sonata. Is that correct?

"….that's right."

" So a lot of people want to know why all the secrecy about who your father is?"

" I didn't want to cash in on his name. I knew I had the skill and drive to be a big name in wrestling on my own merits."

" So why more or less expose yourself when you wrestled 12-Gage?"

" I came to the realization that I wasn't going to beat him without using my training."

" That says a lot about 12-Gage I guess. Given that you've gone this far in your career without revealing your style."

" I hate to admit it, but he is an incredible wrestler. If I hadn't used it, there's a good chance I would have lost." Takeo said.

" So tell me, what was it like growing up as Kenji Sonata's son?"

Takeo paused for a moment as he thought back to a dark moment of his life.

((((Flashback))))

Tears and sweat came down a young Takeo's face as his nose bled. He was breathing heavily.

" You said I had to win no matter what right!?" Takeo shouted.

((((End Flashback)))))

" Challenging…." Takeo said.

Later….

" So I was speaking with Miss Toyoda, and she said a special move might give me just the edge I need." Sakura said.

" A special move eh? That might be smart. Any ideas?"

Sakura sighed " I'm completely blanking….I haven't figured one out yet."

" Well what about the Sonata Sharpshooter?"

Sakura was surprised. " You would teach me that?"

" Yea I mean, even though only 2 people in the world can do it, it's actually not too hard to learn."

" That's the thing, I'm guessing it's like a family secret technique, and just teaching it to me, what would your father think about that?"

" I don't give a flying f-" Takeo suddenly stopped himself. " What he thinks doesn't concern me."

Sakura was quiet for a moment. " I'm sorry…..you really have a grudge with your Dad huh?"

" …..it's a long story…" Takeo said.

" Well…." Sakura began. " If you ever want to tell it…I'd be happy to listen."

Takeo smiled at Sakura. " …Thanks"

" Besides, Miss Toyoda said I have to come up with my own move and it's bad form to copy other wrestlers' techniques."

" Ok, well the offer still stands."

" I appreciate that. So … what kind of special move do you think would suit me."

" Well, you have powerful legs, so either a strike or a submission using them would probably work well."

" Really? Ok, so I'll think of involving my legs in some way." Sakura said. " In the meantime let's get back to work.

" You got it…"

Later….

While collecting his things after another intense training day, Takeo checked his phone to see his coach had left him a message.

" What's up?" Sakura asked.

" It's from my coach. He wants me to come to the gym."

" Seriously? That's good right?"

" Maybe…Hey maybe he wants to take me off suspension."

At Arete…

" Ok, let' be clear. You are still on suspension."

Takeo's eyes were somewhat blank by the let down he felt. Beside him was Haru in his wrestling attire which consisted of a blue mask and blue pants with black wrestling boots after doing a promotion shoot for the gym.

" Ok, so….." Takeo said.

" I called you in here because as you may know Konjo took a short leave of absence." The Coach said.

Hearing this caused Haru to glare at Takeo menacingly.

" Yea…" Takeo said.

" Next month The Bullet Brothers are set to take on the Jawbreakers in the Bad Blood promotion which I believe your pop star friend is headlining. This is a big match as it puts them in title contention so after hashing out the details it's gonna be the co-main event and you being the rocket scientist you are somewhat took Konjo out of commission."

" Coach what are you saying?" Haru asked stunned.

" I'm saying that Takeo is going to substitute for Konjo for that match."

Takeo was somewhat shocked. Haru however was livid.

" What are you talking about? I'm not partnering with this asshole. There are a bunch of guys right out there who would make a better partner."

" I gotta agree with him on that coach." Takeo said.

" Everyone out there is a top notch wrestler. But you two and Konjo are the big 3 around here. I'm not saying you have to be best buddies, but no one out there is on your guys level. Just tag the other guy in when you're tired or in trouble. But for the purposes of getting the team to the next level, Takeo that night you'll be a substitute Bullet Brother."

" I'm fine with that coach." Takeo said. He then looked over at Haru wearing his outfit. " I don't have to wear that do I?"

" Haha, hey I would not be a smart-ass right now if I were you." The Coach said. " Bye."

Takeo got up and walked out.

" Like you should talk Tarzan." Haru said as Takeo walked past him.

Takeo closed the door behind him.

" You're seriously gonna do this?" Haru asked.

" I know you and Takeo wont work as a team per say, but he can go in there and beat down the opponent an then tag you in when he's done. Same goes for you."

" And how do you think Konjo's gonna react to this?"

" Well if we're lucky, he'll get so pissed off he'll come back immediately. But we're talking about a shot at the belts and right now your best shot is with Takeo while Konjo's out of commission."

A knock came at the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and a photographer peered his head through." Hi, sorry to bother you but Hollow Point, we have a few more shots to take."

" We'll talk about this later…"

" Got it coach." Haru said walking out.

As the door closed, the coach reached for his phone and made a call, the name showing up on the caller ID as "Seiichi".

The next day….

" The Jawbreakers!?" Sakura said.

" It's just a tough sounding name." Takeo assured.

" They're known for literally breaking their opponents jaws!"

" I didn't say it wasn't a fitting name." Takeo joked.

" This isn't a joke. Those guys are massive, are you sure you have to take this match? Haru might not help you if you need it."

" That's probably going to happen."

" Why are you so chill about all this?" Sakura asked.

" Honestly, I know the Jawbreakers are strong, I've kinda been wanting to face them for a while. But I never had a tag partner."

Sakura sighed. She shook her head at the situation. " You are probably one of the most impulsive people I ever met."

Takeo's jaw practically dropped. " I'm impulsive? This coming from you?" He laughed.

" (scoff) I don't know what you're talking about." Sakura crossed her arms.

" You're right, silly me."

Sakura looked at Takeo and shook her head. " You're such a dork."

Takeo rubbed the back of his head chuckling.

" Can you just…just promise me you'll be careful." Sakura said.

" Of course I will." Takeo assured.

" That's a solid plan Takeo." Seiichi said approaching. Misaki by his side.

" Mr. Seiichi…." Sakura said.

" As far as tag teams go, the Jawbreakers rank among the highest for title contention. As I'm sure you can imagine they didn't get to that level by being nice to their opponents. They're as ruthless as they come."

" Hai, I've seen Spazz and T-bone in action. They're also not above fighting dirty."

" So what are you doing to prepare for their size and ruthlessness?" Seiichi said.

" I'll be ready for them." Takeo said.

" I'll help you!" Sakura said.

" While I admire your spirit Sakura, Takeo is going to need someone who has the experience needed to deal with opponents like them." Seiichi said.

Misaki and Sakura turned to Seiichi baffled, but Misaki seemed especially concerned.

" What are you proposing Mr. Seiichi?" Takeo asked.

" If you'll grant me the honor, I'd like to help prepare you for the match." Seiichi said.

Takeo paused for just a moment. " Mr. Seiichi, I'd be honored to have your help."

" Excellent, be ready in an hour."

With that Seiichi turned and went to his office.

Sakura stood there confused while Misaki followed after Seiichi.

"So, he's just gonna share some tips with you right?" Sakura asked Takeo.

" Seriously doubt that." Takeo smiled as he went to grab his bag. " I'm gonna get changed."

" W-wait, you're not gonna..you're not gonna actually wrestle him are you?"

" I think that's the idea." Takeo said.

" Takeo! Mr. Seiichi is a sweet man, you can't be serious!" Sakura protested.

Takeo chuckled as he walked back to the locker room.

Misaki followed Seiichi back to his office. " You just couldn't help yourself could you?"

" Why should I let these whipper snappers have all the fun? Besides, Takeo needs a lesson before he can face the Jawbreakers."

"A lesson in what?"

Seiichi looked back smiling at Misaki. " Pain….."
