Author's Note: Takes place sometime before Scarlet IV's chapter's events.
It's the day after Extreme Rules (2015) from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Many changes were apparent in WWE. Let's talk about some of those changes.
First off, the Royal Rumble's event saw the triple threat of John Cena v. Brock Lesnar v. Seth Rollins. Lesnar retained his championship. Later on that night, despite The Authority trying to interfere, Sekai won the Main Event spot in the Royal Rumble Match. The new WWE PPV, Fast Lane, saw a Wrestlemania Contender's Match between Daniel Bryan and Sekai Ishtal. Despite how both men gave it their all and gave the fans the match of the ages, much to the dismay of the WWE Universe, the Yes Movement would not advance to Wrestlemania.
Wrestlemania 31 opened up with very high expectations.
One of the three main matches all fans wanted to see was Sekai taking care of business once and for all with Brock Lesnar. As this was Wrestlemania, the man from Osaka decided to go with a dramatic entrance, having been introduced to the ring with a full regalia orchestral play. The music was played by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the chorus done by a choir from the nearby Catholic Church. Sekai was decked out in his Combat Butler uniform as he walked to the ring amidst a silent arena listening to the powerful musical piece, from stage to ring lined by men and women in butler and maid uniforms, in rather militaristic poses (right arms crossed over chest, left arms positioned behind the back). The music played by the orchestra was Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye from the Touhou Project album Charisma Lash Type-M.
The match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship; Sekai Ishtal versus Brock Lesnar. Both men finally have no side businesses to distract them, and could take care of the one business between them. That being when Sekai first appeared in WWE, he trashed Lesnar, Lesnar took offense, tried to beat him up, and was forced to retreat when Sekai viciously fought back. A fierce rivalry that could have happened did not because life and other businesses got in both men's ways. But now months of fans wanting to see their business conclude (and a neutral alliance dissolved between them prior to the Contract Signing for the Triple Threat Match at the Royal Rumble) got to witness two men try and kill each other('s careers).
He persevered, fought and clawed through the enemy, and defeated the one who put the one in twenty-one and one at Wrestlemania to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. With The Authority losing their power, it was only a matter of time before the Scarlet Family took control. But they were biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and seize power.
We now go live to one of the office board rooms at tonight's arena hosting Monday Night RAW.
The whole crew was there (or known on-camera to WWE fans). Sekai sat in one of the larger seats overlooking the long table, with Remilia sitting next to him. On Remilia's side was Flandre, Sakuya, and Siesta. On Sekai's side was Gin and Saito. Kisuke was here as well with Riruka, Yoruichi, and Yukari; the four mentioned individuals were in America since the Royal Rumble event, and on a final tour promoting and selling Kisuke's shop as well as selling all sorts of sweets and delightful treats (a worked business deal between Kisuke Urahara and the WWE in order to allow this).
"Well, it's the RAW after Extreme Rules," said Sekai.
"I know how much you loved to be the WWE Champion, Sekai," Remilia says to her husband. "I admit, I was scared you'd have lost the title, but you still went down fighting."
He smiled. "I wouldn't mind, babe. I'll become champion once again. But it would have been a dick move if I went back on my previous word and pull off a Seth Rollins on DB just after our match concluded."
"So you're really going to wait six months?" Saito questions Sekai.
"Yeah. I know six months seems long, but for all I know, when six months fly by and I return to the championship picture," Sekai says, "Daniel Bryan will still be the champion who I have a rematch with. Or it could be someone else like Ryback, or John Cena, or Randy Orton, or hell even JBL if he decided to have one more championship run."
The audience was chanting for JBL briefly at this point.
"But it has been a fun half month, huh? Leading up to Extreme Rules, the Superstars and the Divas got some action and screen time to showcase their skills and their ability to work above and beyond the call of duty. That tournament idea you pitched was really awesome."
"Yeah, you were a real showcase showdown of insane action," said Sakuya.
A rim shot was heard. All eyes turned to Gin who had his phone out and was smirking. He had played a rim shot sound byte from the phone. "What?" he asks in an innocent manner.
"That was neither needed nor appropriate. No jokes were said," said Sekai.
"So?"
Sekai gives him a light glare. "Putz," he calls Gin, who just smiles away with his eyes in those familiar squints. The WWE GM returns attention to the business at hand. "Now, as I was saying-"
Rim shot.
Sekai returns to glaring at Gin. "Stop it Gin! Are you trying to be funny or something?"
"Is it working?" Gin asks as his smile appears wider than before.
There was a stifled giggle from Flandre and Siesta. It was working, because there was some scattered laughter from the WWE Universe attending as the audience at the arena tonight.
Sekai sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Well, if I tap the excitement well too much, it'll run dry and the people will get bored."
Rim shot.
Sekai looks to Gin, glaring once again.
This time, Remilia was hiding an obvious smile behind her hand, holding back her laughs. Saito had his head down on the table, arms in front. The obvious shaking of his shoulders hinted he was trying not to laugh aloud. Flandre, Siesta, and even Sakuya were smirking with amusement at Gin trying to be funny and annoying to Sekai at the same time.
"What's best for business was a motto The Authority spouted but never understood its real meaning."
Rim shot.
For TV audiences, the background laughter you can hear from the arena now cracking up with laughter is heard. Even Michael Cole, JBL, and Booker T were stifling their laughs while on the head sets.
"Gin, you do that one more time and I will beat you up," the Lord Scarlet warns his silver-haired friend.
"What? I did nothing, Sekai," he says, smiling "innocently".
Sekai's response to that was to give Gin the middle finger. He also purposely ignored the erupted giggle that escaped his wife. It was hard though, not to respond to Gin's funny annoyance himself. He was trying hard not to break into a smile of his own.
"What's best for business is not your own selfish needs and wants and giving the non-verbal middle finger to the fans." Sekai stops here and looks at Gin. He just sits there, listening quietly. Eyes lingering for a few more seconds, Sekai continues. "What's best for business was The Authority being the only ones who got what they desired and no one else. And by doing so, they continue to insult the intelligence of the WWE Universe, even the so-called smarks that we see now and then."
"Weren't you a smark a couple years back, Sekai?" Sakuya reminded the man.
"The difference was I knew when to shut up and give respect to the wrestlers and the talent of WWE during appropriate times. The annoying ones were those who did whatever they want regardless if it was insulting the talent and the wrestlers. Vicky knew that I had great respect for the wrestlers when I was in my on-air color commentary mode, and when the shows were off-air I'm back to being a respectable yet ordinary guy who just continues to live life."
"This was before you move to Japan," Siesta pointed out.
"Yeah. Before moving to Japan," he answers.
"So, what about tonight, Sekai?"
"Tonight's going to be a very busy night for all of us," said Sekai with pride and joy in his voice. "This will be a fun one for the WWE Universe!"
Rim shot.
"That's it!" Sekai's attitude flipped 180, as he shot from his chair.
Gin also shot from his chair and made a beeline for the open door of the office room they were in. Cue the laughter from the others in the room and the audience back in the arena. Sekai this time face palms, sighing roughly; he did not give chase. A part of his fleece poncho was caught in his hand as he face palmed.
"Gin you annoying asshole," he mutters, partly heard by all (and fully heard by the TV viewers).
"It was rather funny. I'm sure the arena's audience is laughing as we speak."
"No doubt they are," said Sekai, shaking his head.
Rim shot.
"Gin! Get back here! I'm gonna kick your ass!" Sekai roars, finally giving chase. The maniacal laughter from Gin can be heard outside in the hallway as Sekai chased after his best friend and brother in all but blood.
The laughter increased in the arena, on commentary, and for many of the wrestlers backstage.
