It’s a dark, rainy night in Chicago. In a highrise apartment overlooking the skyline of the second city, Derek Jacobs stands looking out his large window, watching the rain pour. He takes a long drink of the beer he’s holding, and begins to speak.


Derek Jacobs: "You mean to tell me that I’m in the opening match of Aftershock again this week? After I ran Mr. Butty AND that freak Joe Mason out of the company? What the hell is this?"


A voice behind Jacobs speaks, sounding very calm, but at the same time chastising.


Unknown Man: "Calm yourself Derek. You need to learn to control your temper. You can’t keep having outbursts like you did last week when you tried to bully around Matt Tastic. He gave you some pretty good advice, and it seemed like you used it in your match last week against Mason. I know that you’re angry that you’re the curtain jerker again this week."


(Jacobs shoots the man a cold glare but lets him continue)


"I know, but that’s what it is. You need to prove yourself to management that you belong here."

"It would be easy for me to do that if they put me in the ring with quality competition! I’ve been in the ring with a Captain America, A guy who thinks he’s a superhero of some sort, a teacher, and a dude who talks to a stuffed tiger, for Christ’s sakes! And now I’m in the ring with a guy who thinks he’s a damn alien! Mr Burna needs to take control over this company! It’s turned into a madhouse with Bateman in charge."


"The change in management is good, Derek, but you also need to prove yourself more. You’re 1-2 here in WZCW. That’s not impressive. You need to show everyone in WZCW the same thing you showed me in that alley. It’s been, what, 3 years ago now?"

(Derek looks passive, as he reminisces on the events that took place in that Chicago alley)


"I had just found out that I didn’t get drafted. I was so pissed, so I decided to go to the bar and drink my sorrows away, and maybe find a girl to take home."

(He chuckles to himself before continuing)

"Heh, just out of college and only one thing on my mind. After I left the bar, it had started raining and I decided to just walk home in the rain instead of taking a cab, just to, you know; think. And then I saw those guys beating on you in the alley, and for some reason, I decided that I needed to help. I used to be the like the guys pounding away on defenseless people like you where, but I never used weapons like they were, so I came and took them out."


"I thought that I was going to die that night, Derek. But you saved me."

(The man laughs and continues)

"And you also beat the hell out of those thugs, which is when I knew you were something special, so I took you in. gave you purpose."

"You gave me a job where I wrestle freakshows! There is no money in this! I’ve been waiting on a huge payday to come along, but ever since I’ve been here I’ve been conned. Once by Butty, and then that little brat Bull. Punk still owes me money..."

"The reason you haven’t received the big payday yet Derek is you look like a joke right now. You need to make a bigger name for yourself before you go around saying how you feel like you’re being held back. When you can put together a win streak, you’ll be taken more seriously. Use this Krypto guy or whatever his name is and make him your stepping stone on your path to greatness. Be the guy in the alley that put 4 thugs in the hospital. Be Dr. Pain."


(Derek downs the rest of his beer and turns around to face his mentor)


"You’re right. You’ve always been right. The only person holding back Derek Jacobs is Derek Jacobs. Krypto, I don’t know you, I don’t know where you come from or what your plan is in WZCW, but I promise you, you won’t be able to accomplish it. You’re going to be in the ring with Dr. Pain Derek Jacobs, and you will not survive. No more game playing. No more curtain jerking matches that barely make it onto the card. From now on, I’ll be the most talked about athlete on aftershock. And you can bank…on…that."

The Misadventures of Krypto
A New World….kind of.

The scene opens to what Krypto thinks is his flying saucer having a rocky landing on the corner of a block downtown, but is really just a cardboard box he’s been living in falling out of a garbage truck onto the street. Krypto believes he’s an alien who has finally made it to the distant planet Earth looking for excitement and adventure. He looks amazed yet puzzled at how everything looks in the big city, confused at the clothes people are wearing and wondering why people don’t look like the aliens from what he thinks is his home planet of Nova Terra, but is really just an old 1970’s alien horror film, and he’s really just wearing one of the alien costumes from it. He soon begins to talk to what he thinks is his faithful android companion RJX9, but that is really just an old and dirty R2D2 action figure.

Well RJ, we made it. We finally made it to Earth! We finally can explore a new world with new opportunities and experiences like never before!

Yes we have sir; shall I send a hologram message back to your family on Nova Terra alerting them of our arrival?

Sure thing, tell them their baby boy Krypto is no longer a child, but he is man who is now the first Terrian to make it to Earth. The question is, what shall we do first RJ?

Well sir, according to my database the food sensation of McDonald’s is a popular thing among humans.

Food can wait; I want to have some action, like in those movies we observed in the telescopes from the one named Chuck Norris.

Well, according to my database the action packed, high adrenaline promotion of WZCW is in town tonight.

Perfect! I can’t wait to spar with a human.

Are you sure about this sir? From the looks of it these humans are fairly larger and taller than you.

What kind of Terrian would I be if I backed down from something because it’s bigger RJ? Us Terrians are notoriously short specimen compared to humans I get that, but we are pretty agile as well. Come on let’s go see about this WZCW.

Krypto and RJX9 then walk about streets greeting strangers and even giving some kisses and hugs because that’s how people greeted each other back on what he thinks his home planet, but eventually they make it to the AfterShock arena and accidentally bump into a very nervous Chuck Myles and accidentally spills hot coffee on him.

For the love of! Look what you did you little creep, what are you doing in my arena, and why are you carrying a dirty action figure?

It’s not a figure, it’s my helpful robot RJX9, and do you humans not have helper bots here on Earth?

Myles pauses and stares at Krypto

Ok somebody get this lunatic out of my arena!

Wait! We come in peace! I came here because I want to be a part of this WZCW. Are you in charge here?

Look I don’t have time to deal with some costume wearing freak trying to cut it as a wrestler right now, with Ty Burna gaining control of the company I have to work under his power and obey his commands, WZCW is in a very dark place and I need time to regroup.

Well sir I’m sorry but I’m not wearing a costume, I’m Krypto of Nova Terra.

Nova Terra?! Isn’t that some horror movie from the seventies?

What is this horror movie you speak of?

It’s the genre of movies whose purpose is to strike fear in human’s sir.

Ah, that makes sense.

Are you talking to that action figure?

No, it’s RJX9 I just told you he’s my helper bot.

.....Oh god, this place has really gone downhill.

Look sir, I came here because I heard the WZCW was a place where great warriors clash. I want to be one of those great warriors, please give me that chance.

Sigh…well lucky for you a wrestler did just leave the company and this show is where young rookies are supposed to prove themselves. You got your debut match tonight against let me see here….Derek Jacobs. Now get away from me.

Myles then walks away with a very stressful look on his face.

How is awesome is that RJ, I’m in my first ever wrestling match on earth!

Truly amazing indeed sir.

Now let’s get some information on this Derek Jacobs.

My database if empty, I have no records of any humans. But there is a thing humans here are calling a “library”, perhaps there would be a good place to start.

Wonderful Idea

Krypto then walks to the closest library and begins doing research on his opponent.

Derek Jacobs, it says here on WZCW.com he’s some kind Mercenary who loves money.

Ah yes, this is the human emotion called greed sir, it’s something humans have which makes them obsessed with fortune.

He’s also a lot bigger and stronger than you sir.

But I’m faster, more agile it says he’s afraid of heights; high risk is kind of my specialty.

I just think you should be careful sir, you’re not accustom to fighting humans, in fact back on Nova Terra there was no fighting whatsoever. These humans can have tricks that we don’t even know about.

I know that RJ, that’s why I wanted to come to Earth, everything was so simple, nice, and boring back there, no excitement action, no twists, no turns, no intrigue, back on Nova Terra everyone was an open book, nothing was left to the imagination. I may not understand this Derek Jacobs and his thirst for money, hell I don’t even understand this backwards world yet, but I damn sure understand that to win a fight here in WZCW you have to be ready to give it everything you’ve got. Derek Jacobs is doing this for the money while I’m doing purely for adrenaline rush, the danger factor, the chance to finally have some fun. From the looks of it Derek Jacobs is a human who can’t control his anger and can be tricked into anything with the promise of money. I plan on using that to my advantage. Soon not only will the WZCW know my name but the whole planet Earth will as well!

The Librarian then taps Krypto on the shoulder.

Sir, this is a library I’m going to have to ask you to lower your voice. And…why are you talking to an action figure?

Has no human ever had a talking android before?

Krypto picks up the R2D2 action figure and storms off.

Be cautious sir, you may be looking for fun on this planet but some humans here may not share your same sense of adventure.

Ah come on RJ, all humans can’t be bad people can they?​
