Author: Trace VanReardon
Subject: A Sense Of Purpose and a Proposal… (Cage, Connor, and Bock) Featuring: Trisha VanReardon and Mary Jane Francis Jr.










“Purpose…”

“Some of us go through our entire lives without one and some of us would give up all that we hold dear to know what our special purpose was. Last night on Insurrection… Trace VanReardon redefined his direction and his very existence. Trace showed a side of himself that had never been seen before… perhaps he earned some respect… perhaps he didn’t… but he showed one and all that some things mean more to him than recognition and accolades. He surrendered his GWA Olympic Title… and with it… his shot at The Gladiator Title. For a man like my brother… I can tell you that it takes something more precious than life itself for him to release a symbol like a world title from his grasp. But then again… perhaps Stephanie Connor is something more to him than I had imagined…”

“None the less… the deed was done and Trace had embarked on a path that would lead him into the unknown. A brutal match against Alek Cage had showed that he was not to be taken lightly as many had… and his attack on Sebastian Bock left many more questions than answers. Time would have to tell the tale…”



11:42 PM… 20 September, 2000
Honolulu, Hawaii
(Immediately following Insurrection)



Trace VanReardon stormed through the arena, still dazed and bloodied from his tremendous battle with Alek Cage. People moved to get out of his way as he seemed to stumble around in a blind rage even still. As Trace reached the door, he was grabbed on the arm and turned around. Trace raised an unsteady fist and was ready to fight one last time, but instead of finding Alek Cage or Sebastian Bock… it was Mary Jane Francis, and she looked none too happy…

MJ: WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!!!

Trace’s shoulders dropped from exhaustion as he leaned against the wall, unwilling to listen to MJ’s tirade, but unable to escape it…

MJ: It was all that I could do to keep Steven from firing you on the spot for tossing away The Olympic Title! Now… GET YOUR ASS INTO THAT OFFICE AND BEG STEVEN TO GIVE YOU THAT TITLE BACK!!

Trace leans against the wall for a moment or two more before he wipes the blood from his forehead and looks at it. MJ taps her feet impatiently…

MJ: WELL!

Trace’s eyes move slowly up to MJ… his face still covered in blood, dripping from his hair and stinging his eyes…

Trace: I want you to make Stephanie part of The Circle…

MJ raised her eyebrow and poked Trace roughly in the center of his chest…

MJ: And I want you to get your ass into that office… AND BRING ME MY GODDAMNED TITLE BACK!

Trace grabbed MJ by her face and pushed her back as he brought his face to within a few inches of her’s…

Trace: DO YOU THINK I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THAT BELT?!!! DO YOU?!!!

MJ grabs Trace’s hand and yanks it down, leaving a bloody streak down the side of her face. MJ smacked Trace viciously as she bared her teeth at him…

MJ: YOU’D BETTER GET YOUR F*CKING MIND OFF THAT B*TCH AND ON THE OLYMPIC TITLE AND THE GLADIATOR TITLE!!!

Trace stepped closer to MJ and stood over her, staring down at her before he finally spoke again…

Trace: Suit yourself!

Trace turned and walked towards the door. MJ grabbed his arm, but Trace yanked his arm away from her and walked out the door. MJ wiped at the blood on her face and stared down at her hand…

MJ: F*CK!!!

MJ turned and stomped back into the arena angrily as the scene faded…


2:40 AM… 21 September, 2000
Stephanie Connor’s Condo, New York City, New York



Trace held Stephanie close to him in the dark. She nestled down onto his chest as she continued to sleep. Trace stroked her hair as he kissed her on top of her head. He could still feel the deep cuts on his face and forehead, but the pain was dulled by Stephanie’s mere presence. Trace thought back to the battle with Cage… and a bitter taste touched his lips. He had promised Cage that last night would not be the end between them… not until he told him who had been behind Stephanie’s attack… and he got the redemption he wanted… the redemption he craved. The attack on Bock had been a mystery for many… some believed that Trace was merely assisting The Outlaw at the behest of MJ. In fact… neither The OutLaw nor Rachel Winston figured into the matter at all. Bock had made the mistake of giving voice to his desire to injure Stephanie… and right now… in his present state of mind… no one would get near her… without paying a price. Of that… they could be sure… each and every one of them. The scene faded…
