You come into my house in the middle of the night, you knock me out, tie me up, and now you've got me looking at whatever dumb plan you've concocted?!

The scene is that of Garland's broken down warehouse. Well, not that he owns the place, it's just where he so happens to be staying. The camera is focused at the main entrance way and, after a short while, the door is pushed open as Robert Garland pushes another figure ahead of him. The figure is revealed to be that of Chris Williams, a bag over his face and his arms tied behind his back. Garland slams the door shut, removing the bag from his partner's face to reveal Chris' mouth to be tapped shut. Chris looks to be freaking out, Garland heading over to flip the lights as the entire scene is currently pitch black with hardly any windows to let the moonlight shine in. Once the lights flicker on, Chris is able to see a big cage standing in front of him, bathroom objects littered throughout Garland's makeshift wrestling ring that is set up inside. Chris still doesn't know what's going on as Garland rips the tape off of his mouth with a serious look on his face...
Robert Garland - Well? I had to make sure you'd show up on time for our trainin' session. I tried to call ahead, but you must have already been asleep. We had to move quick cause I only have this ring for another few days. I had no choice, man! Anyway, all's well that ends well right? Here you are, just in time!
Garland heads over to the cage, beckoning for Williams to follow as Williams asks him to at least untie his arms. Garland makes a face to imply that he forgot they were tied up in the first place, heading over and pulling a knife from his pocket to cut the ropes. Chris suddenly realizes that Garland must have had that knife on him the whole time, as he gets his hands free and punches Garland right in the mouth!
Chris Williams - I see you were prepared to bring me here no matter what, huh?!
Robert Garland - What? *Garland looks at his knife that has since fallen to the floor as he was knocked down* Oh... Oh?! Oh no, no way! Don't worry man, I was cuttin' up some of those soda can rings before I headed over to get you. Bought some drinks at the nearby gas station and remembered all the ducks that live around here. Didn't want them to choke if they got into one of my many trashcans!
Chris looks distrusting, Garland getting back to his feet and rubbing his chin. A short smile comes over Garland's face, Chris now looking back at the ring Garland had mentioned earlier. Williams is silent, probably wondering what's going on in Garland's head as Garland starts to laugh a bit...
Robert Garland - But this is perfect Chris! This fire, this hatred you're seethin' with. This is the kind of attitude you need to bring against Barrel at this comin' Unstoppable! This is what I wanted to harvest. This attitude is gonna be what you need to grab hold of if you want to win the Pure 15 Championship! You need to focus this passion towards your opponent... And then BAM! One! Two! Three! Baw Gawd, we have a new Champion! I mean... That's not all you'll need of course. Barrel's a tough dude, right? That's why I'm here to make you even tougher!
Chris Williams - ...What do you want me to do?
Garland heads back over towards the cage, turning back to Williams as he opens the door and keeping that twisted smile on his face that Garland is known for.
Robert Garland - That's easy Chris... I want you to bleed, sweat, and cry. After all, that's what makes a great man in this business right?
Chris looks uneasy, but follows Badger into the cage. What follows next is a montage of their training session throughout the rest of that night along with most of the next day...
--------------------------
*Badger hits Chris with a plunger, breaking it over his back as Chris howls in pain*
Robert Garland - How's that feel!? Come one Chris! Wake up the monster that Barrel has yet to meet!
Chris Williams - Why are you training me with bathroom utilities?!
Robert Garland - Because I'm the king of the bathroom stall brawl! This is what Rech would do every time I was about to have one of those matches. This was my trainin' for all three of them back in the day!
Chris Williams - And you never won any of them!
Robert Garland - Huh... Good point...
--------------------------
*Next, Garland is coaching Williams as he does laps around the warehouse. Garland is ferociously blowing into a whistle to annoy Williams and Chris completes his twentieth lap.*
Robert Garland - Don't let the crowd get into your head! Stay focused on the task at hand! Don't lose sight of your goal!
Chris Williams - I'm going... To shove... That whistle.. Down... Your throat!...
--------------------------
*The sun has already risen, and it is now early in the morning. Chris is covered in sweat as Garland is talking to another figure off screen. Chris seems to be on break as the camera pans over to reveal Luke Jackson on the scene.*
Luke Jackson - Why did you call me over here again?
Robert Garland - I don't know, man! Can't you teach Chris some flippy shit or somethin'? A few new moves and his offense will be all over the place!
*Jackson shakes his head, heading out the door and leaving behind the breakfast Garland asked him to pick up on his way over. Garland looks at the food and thanks him, yelling to Jackson as he leaves.*
Robert Garland - Good luck in your match!
--------------------------
*In this scene, Garland and Williams are just sitting down enjoying a few doughnuts. Nothing really important to the upcoming match, they're just both really hungry. Chris asks for a beer, Garland yelling at Williams with his mouth full of two doughnuts at once...*
Robert Garland - *Muffled* No!... You need to lose some weight!
--------------------------
*In the next scene, the camera is doing a close up on Chris as Garland is yelling at Williams, who is busy doing his hundredth push up. Relatively normal until the camera pulls out to reveal a small pyramid of bathroom sinks on Williams' back...*
Robert Garland - Come on Chris! One Hundred More! Barrel said you'd have to throw everythin' includin' the kitchen sink at him! Well, can he handle a man who is doin' push ups with three bathroom sinks?! Huh?!
Chris Williams - Drop the bathroom motif already! Geez!
--------------------------
Finally the training session is over. The camera set up outside the warehouse as Chris emerges from the main entrance with a tore up looking white T-Shirt that reads... "I graduated from Garland's Gauntlet". Garland shows up behind him, patting him on the back as Chris can't believe he was forced to wear this ridiculous outfit where the writing on the shirt looks like it was done with a last minute sharpie. With that, Garland offers to drive Chris back to his place, Williams mentioning that he'd feel better with a taxi, but taking him up on his offer anyway. The scene cuts to a close and the match ahead lingers on the horizon...
