Maverick: Yo, check this out! A grand for this bad boy, can ya believe it? Feel that adrenaline rush, huh?
slams the flag on the table Look at it, Preach! It's like a rush to the bloodstream, ya know? Ain't no dull moment here, ain't no way!
Ok.. did you have too much caffeine again?
grabs a bottle of water and chugs it Nah, Preach, this ain't about caffeine! This is about living life on the edge!
I know right, cause I do the exact same thing.
wipes sweat from his brow Damn straight, Preach! We gotta keep those adrenaline levels pumping, or else we're just gonna turn into a couple of dull pricks.
smirks Oh, the plan? We're gonna hit up that new underground fighting ring downtown.
puts on his leather jacket and revs up his motorcycle Alright, let's blow this joint and get some real action going!
We arrive at the underground fighting ring
throws his helmet onto the seat of his bike Yo, Preach! Check this place out!
sniffs the air Damn, smells like victory! cracks his knuckles Alright, Preach, time to see who's really the king of this ring.
How are we judging who’s the king?
smirks Simple, Preach. We're gonna witness the ultimate test of skill and strength – a battle royale!
They go to their seats to watch the battle royale
During the battle royale, Maverick gets injured and is taken out by a rival fighter. He realizes he has lost more than just the fight; he has lost his pride and respect in front of Preach.
After the match, the announcer announces that Maverick lost and he loses his pride and respect.
clenches his fists, blood dripping from his wound Damn it, Preach! That little bastard got the best of me. But I won't let this define me.
Hey, losing doesn’t define someone. What defines someone is how they get back up and continue going.
grits his teeth, determination burning in his eyes You're right, Preach. This ain't no time to call it quits.
stands up, clenching his jaw Now listen up, Preach! I'm gonna bounce back from this, bigger and stronger than ever.
We leave the underground fighting ring
grabs his bike Alright, Preach, buckle up! We're gonna head back to the house and start strategizing.
revs up his motorcycle, the engine roaring Hold on tight, Preach! We're gonna show everyone what we're made of!
throws his helmet onto the table Alright, Preach, let's break down our options and figure out a game plan!
Maverick writes down ideas and strategies on a notebook
scribbling furiously Alright, Preach, we gotta think outside the box here. I'm talking big, bold moves that'll make 'em all regret ever laying a finger on me.
Maybe we should train our fighting skills, or find allies to fight with us.
slams his fist on the table Damn straight, Preach! We need to train like our lives depend on it. And we gotta find allies, fighters who share our thirst for victory!
So we need to find a good gym and practice our skills there.
stands up, pacing back and forth No, Preach! We can't just train at some run-of-the-mill gym. We need to train in the heart of the action, where the real fighters gather!
Maverick and Preach decide to train in an underground fight club, where the toughest fighters in the city gather to battle it out.
