Chapter 6: First Blood
Nate leaned against the railing, waiting for his race that would be after the skiers finished their first race. Viggo had dominated the opening race, as expected, but a few stragglers were still finishing up. Nate's M-Comm stopped playing music to be interrupted by Atomika.
"This just in you SSX animals. Turns out that Moby's X-tremely Crappy Losers has stolen our idea and is debuting their skiing division next week. All I have to say is; Moby, you're not in SSX anymore, you're not, accept it! You're gone! Bye bye! Get your own ideas, and while your at it get some better hair, you look like freaking Madusa!" Nate chuckled as Atomika continued into one of his infamous rants. The horn rang for the boarders to line up for their race. Nate eyed the stands cautiously, wondering what Moby had in mind. He dropped his board and buckled his boots in. The countdown rang out and the gates flew open. Nate started the race, he fell back in the positions as he was too distracted by Moby's haunting message the previous night. He suddenly heard the forfeit horn blare out, echoing through the mountain, signaling something had happened to make the race a no contest. He looked to his side to see Jurgan and Marty running from the stands and straight at him.
"Oh bring it on." Nate said as he kicked off his board. Fists were thrown immediately as Nate handled both men with little difficulty. Stan and T-Mo jumped him from behind, obviously having come from the opposite stands. The four men put the boots to Nate once he was down. Nate swung his fists while he was down, no one could come to his aid as almost all the SSX boarders were on the shelf, and the rookies he was racing were likely at the bottom of the hill by now. The crowd voiced their displeasure with loud "bullshit" and "Jurgan sucks" chants. The beating went on for several minutes until the fans exploded into a loud roar. Psymon shot up the run in a snowmobile and bowled over T-Mo and Stan. He hopped off and introduced a pipe he brought with him. He clocked Stan with it, hoping to return the favour of the concussion. Psymon still moved sluggishly and almost looked drunk as he fought to keep his balance, but his pipe made him a little less appealing to attack. Marty punched at him but was beat down quickly. He wound up and smashed the pipe off Jurgan's back, staggering the big man. Psymon kicked out Jurgan's knees and raised the pipe high in the air while staggering a circle around Jurgan. The SSX fans ate it up, Psymon pointed the pipe at T-Mo, he stood up slowly, realizing he was in trouble. The SSX fans roared even louder as Psymon pointed with the pipe. T-Mo turned around to run away, but ran right into Nate, who tackled him so hard that he lifted T-Mo off the ground and slammed him into a support beam of one of the large billboards along the run. Psymon staggered over to Nate and the two men slammed their hands together and raised one another's held hands. The SSX fans were deafening as their heroes stood over the fallen XCL boarders.
"They so think this is an act." Nate coughed through heavy breaths. Psymon chuckled, his eyes still glazed and unfocused.

Rahzell paced before Nate and Psymon once again in his office.
"So, you both swear up and down that you no idea that this was going to happen?" Psymon shook his head.
"Rahzell, if I knew they would be here I would have been up that hill a hell of a lot sooner."
"Psymon, you shouldn't be on the hills period, you know that. What if your concussion was worsened?"
"I couldn't let them injure Nate, he would have done the same for me." Rahzell sighed and nodded.
"I know. Nate you knew nothing of this?" Nate nodded slowly.
"Moby did leave a message on my machine last night."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought he was bluffing." Rahzell stood in Nate's face.
"Let me remind you, since this was before your time. The last person in SSX to think someone was bluffing was Jurgan, and we both know how that ended." Nate nodded.
"Yes sir, I apologize, it won't happen again." Atomika walked into the office.
"Chief, I got the news back. Stan is out for the season with a killer concussion."
"Puss." Psymon smirked.
"T-Mo hyper-extended his shoulder from that tackle, Marty seems uninjured, he's as big a coward as he ever was, and Jurgan's nose was re-injured plus he has a ruptured disk in his back."
"Oh damn." Nate chuckled quietly, making eye contact with Psymon. Both men chuckled under their breath.
"But that guy's insane, he's taking no time off. Now, our lawyer says that since Moby's men trespassed on our property and attacked our men first, he doesn't have a leg to stand on, he can't sue us." Rahzell smiled ear to ear.
"Finally some good news." Rahzell dismissed his boarders. Seconds later Viggo came in, his SSX contract in hand. "Viggo, glad you came by. Your contract is about up for renewal isn't it? I guess you're going to want to negotiate more money now that you'll be our top skier?" Viggo slammed the contract on the desk, "shove it" was written across it in red marker.
"Hell with you Rahzell, Moby just made me an offer I KNOW you clowns would never give me. See you later, losers." Viggo flipped his contract at Rahzell and walked out, leaving Rahzell and Atomika slackjawed.
"He… he just jumped ship!" Atomika said, bewildered, Rahzell collapsed in his chair and put his head in his hands. "Rahzell, this is bad, this is really bad."
"Atomika." Rahzell started. "Put that in a memo and file it under 'shit I already know'!" Atomika backed off and stood quietly.

The boarders sat around the table in the lodge as Elise brought them to order."Okay." Elise started. "Those jackoffs have gone too far, they want a fight, we'll give them a fight. They want to run in on OUR races, I say we strike back! Now what we'll do is-"
"We'll do nothing." Psymon interrupted, barely keeping himself awake.
"Excuse me?" Elise asked, insulted that she was interrupted. Nate leaned foreward.
"Moby can't do a damn thing to us 'cuz we were attacked on our property during our show, that puts all the cards in our hands. If we pull that same stunt, not only will they be READY for it, but that will give them a chance to sue us. We heard Rahzell talking about this today." The crew slowly agreed. Eddie leaned forward.
"Yeah, plus Psymon still looks like he's in no shape to fight." Psymon waved it off.
"Those clowns set a foot on this mountain, I'll be able to take 'em." Kaori now spoke up.
"You are doing nothing! You're going to recoup that concussion THEN we can worry about it!"
"People!" Allegra shouted. "Can we get back to business, please?" Psymon looked at her.
"Thank you, Allegra." Elise stared at her crew.
"So that's it? We're just going to sit back and let ourselves be attacked?"
"What's this 'we' crap?" Griff scowled. "You haven't been effected by this in the least, it's us guys and Allegra that have been put in the barrel here."
"So far." Elise said firmly. "I'm not going to wait around to get attacked."
"Then why don't you do what Viggo did, princess?" Allegra gave with full attitude. "Why don't ya just abandon the ship like a rat before it sinks?" The crew all started speaking at once.
"Shut up!" Psymon finally grumbled loudly, deathly silencing them all. "I have a fucking headache. Just shut the hell up, honestly you're like children. Rahzell will not allow an attack like that again I'm sure. Security will be upped at our venues, and I'm sure especially televised events. Just keep going out there, earn your paycheque, and do your God damned job." No one spoke. "Anyone want to argue?" he threw out the open challenge, still no one spoke. Psymon had difficulty forcing himself up to walk away. "Great, meeting adjourned, I'm going home to get some God damned sleep."

I'm also sorry folks that I have officially turned Rahzell into Samuel L. Jackson, but hey I think that would be pretty cool, Sammy don't take no crap from no one. And agan sorry if anyone's offended by the language, I just thought it would express the stress and tension well, and plus you were warned, so if ya don't like it, too bad :p
Keep on reading folks
