The Adventures of Negropolis and Mason - Episode 1: The Mission

 

A dark street, dimly lit by a single streetlamp. Two wrestlers, Madman Mason and Negropolis, stand under the lamp, recently "fired" from the Dark Dominion by Count Vlad.

Madman Mason, shifting impatiently, asks, "When will they be here?"

Negropolis glances at him and replies, "All in due time. It's not like we have anywhere else to go..."

Madman frowns, and they both continue to shuffle impatiently. They exchange some banter to pass the time.

Madman Mason: "This better be worth it. I'm not standing out here just to get jumped by some street thugs."

Negropolis smirks: "Relax, Madman. You worry too much. Besides, we've faced worse things in the ring."

Madman grumbles: "Yeah, like Count Vlad's temper. He fires us, and now we're waiting on some mystery job. Fantastic."

Finally, after ten minutes, a long black limo pulls up. The limo parks on the street beside them, and the driver, a burly, husky man bald with tattoos and a beard, exits and opens the back door.

First to exit is a tall, furry beast they recognize as Yeti. He half snarls, half smirks at them. Behind him, the dapper Count Vlad emerges, all smiles.

Count Vlad, with his trademark style and accent, says: "Sorry I'm late, but the traffic was a beast."

Yeti smirks at the reference, and the two wrestlers sheepishly smile back and say, "It's fine."

Vlad continues, "I really think our ruse went well, and no one suspects that you are still employed by the Dominion."

They smile and nod in agreement.

Vlad, assuring them, adds: "This new job is for the best. You'll see. The opportunities are endless, and the rewards... oh, the rewards."

Negropolis: "As long as we get paid, I'm in."

Madman Mason: "Yeah, and no more cloak-and-dagger stuff."

Vlad chuckles: "No worries, gentlemen. This time, it's all straightforward... more or less."

Near the end of the conversation, Vlad hands them some money and says, "When you arrive, make sure to see Scrooge. He will be the one giving you orders while there."

Vlad smiles slyly.

Yeti adds with a grin, "Do a good job, boys, and you may earn those fangs yet."

Negropolis and Mason smile broadly, looking very eager. Yeti and Vlad get back in the limo.

Madman Mason, looking back, sees a red-headed woman waiting by the limo. "Molly? What is she doing there?"

Yeti locks eyes with Mason and gives a very devious smile. Negropolis grabs Mason and says, "Nevermind. We have a mission to complete," and pulls him away.

After the limo door shuts, Yeti looks at Vlad and Molly. The three begin to laugh uproariously.

Yeti says, "What fools."

End scene.
