I’m at Athens, Georgia, on my way to see Dani Applegate for an interview before I defend my Action Wrestling Television Championship. It still feels a bit unfitting to be walking around on Earth, but I at least have Damian by my side, as we’re at his home state. What’s even more unfitting is that I’m in a vehicle that relies on a nonrenewable resource that’s detrimental to Earth’s environment. As Damian takes me to our destination, we notice someone on the sidewalk trying to catch our attention. Damian parks and rolls down the window.
Damian: Can I help you?
Fan: You’re members of the Guardians! I’m a huge fan! Sorry for interrupting, I just noticed you from the distance, and I instinctively wanted to catch your attention.
L Verez: No worries, Earthling. We’ve not much time, but we can spare a minute or two.
We exit the car to greet the excited fan. She takes something out of her purse. It looks to be a picture of the Guardians from last year.
L&DK: Sure!
She hands us both a marker to sign. She’s seems oddly prepared to meet us.
L Verez: I can assure you, I very much am not of this world. Here you go.
We hand her the papers, and she suddenly embraces me. It feels strange to be enveloped by someone besides a Guardian.
She holds up the symbol. I do the same, with a smile.
Damian: Yeah, see you!
We return to the vehicle, and continue to head to Dani.
L Verez: I suppose so. I’m unsure why.
Damian: You’re the champ, and the leader. You’re more popular than you think.
As Damian leaves me feeling warm, we make it to the Squared Circle headquarters. We quickly head into the office, and finally, we see Dani.
Dani: Thanks. I never expected to get this far. It’s an uplifting experience, honestly. Anyway, before we start, L, I do want to warn you that I will be interviewing Zima afterwords. She didn’t want me to tell you, but I didn’t want you to find out after the fact. I hope you don’t mind.
I was taken aback at first, when Dani told me. I didn’t expect Zima to catch this attention so quickly. I’m admittedly a bit agitated about this, but I shouldn’t take it out on Dani.
Damian stays behind, and Dani and I head to what looks to be a sound room. We both put on headsets before we begin.
Dani: Hello, everyone, I’m Dani Applegate with Squared Circle News, and I’m joined by none other than the Action Wrestling Television Champion and leader of the Guardians, L Verez.
Dani: Your match this Monday at Clash is a title defense against Ultimate Destroyer, someone you’ve faced before. How do you plan to differ your strategy this time compared to the last?
Dani: Surely, you should still consider a strategy. You did defeat him, but he could surprise with some tricks up his sleeve.
Dani: Well Jaice also has a huge match to look forward to in the next PPV. What was your reaction to him gaining an opportunity at the Action Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship?
As Dani asks her next question, I noticed someone talking to Damian through the soundproof glass. As I view them with my peripheral vision, I figure out that… it’s Zima.
