“Stardate: -308785.73059360724” The camera comes into focus with a little bit of light to see Jackal sitting in a chair, half asleep. He takes his tattooed hand and rubs some of the sleep out of his eyes for a moment before speaking again. “Here I am, days before Unstoppable 4, and I've got the night off. So, I figured I would do a little video blog to get some shit off my chest.” Jackal paused for a moment, scratching the stubble that was taking up residency on his neck in the shape of a light beard. “Hell, now I don’t even remember everything I was going to rant about.” Jackal looked up in shock at the sound of a dog growling and barking in the next room. “What is it, Zeus?” The image of a red nose pitbull appears as the dog lays his head on the arm of the chair as Jackal begins to pet him. “I know, buddy. You’re still getting used to the new home.” Zeus gave a light whimper before nudging Jackal’s hand and walking away, obviously wanting to go outside. “It looks like this video is going to be on hold.”
Jackal turned off the video feed and grabbed a jacket on his way out the door, Zeus on his leash, out into the chilly Detroit air. Zeus sniffed feverishly before finding a good spot for his first bathroom stop, as Jackal couldn’t help but shake his head. “Zeus, you think I have what it takes to be MSW’s first world champion?” Zeus cocked his head to the side and gave a light bark. “You really think so? I mean, I did have a pretty easy victory with Johnny Hardcore. It was like he didn’t even try to put up a fight.” Jackal reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bag of dog treats, tossed one to Zeus and put the rest back in his pocket, when he noticed that his neighbor started walking over. “Fucking wonderful. Just what I need, a nosey neighbor.”
“Morning, neighbor.” The man closed his suitcase in his car as he started walking across his lawn over towards Jackal. “I’m Kevin. I haven’t seen you around the neighborhood before and figured I’d give you a warm welcome before I took off, since you’re out walking you…dog.” At that moment, Kevin noticed Zeus on his leash. “He’s not vicious, is he?”
Jackal gave a light chuckle. “He is, only if I tell him to be. Now, how about you get the fuck off my lawn?” Kevin gave Jackal a serious, yet confused, look before slowly backing away towards his own yard. “Good boy.” Jackal knelt down next to Zeus and began scratching him behind the ears, whispering quietly to his trusty sidekick. “When he’s gone, we’ll come back and you can shit in his yard.” Zeus began wagging his tail happily as Jackal got back to a vertical base and made his way back to the house. Once inside, Jackal closed the door behind him, removed Zeus’ leash and the two went back to their own business, which included Jackal’s video that was suddenly stopped earlier as he sits back down in front of his computer and turns the camera back on.
“Alright, let’s try this again. Hopefully I won’t have any interruptions this time around. Uh…Stardate…whatever. I don’t fucking care anymore. I’m just pissed that I don’t have a match. I guess they figured I need to recover after my ‘impressive’ showing against Johnny Hardcore, when, in reality, it was nothing more than a warm-up. See, a real show will come when I publicly embarrass Daniel Smart at Unstoppable #5 and advance towards the finals of the Best of the Best tournament to crown the first MSW World Champion. I hope he’s made peace with his demons, cause there won’t be any coming back from the beating that I will deliver. Don’t take it personally. It’s just business.” On that note, Jackal killed the video feed.
