::Prior to the opening of Shockwave, scenes were shown from the end of last week’s broadcast, starting at the point where Snake had bullied his way into the KTA locker room where Women’s Champion Aurora Jansen was surrounded by Kelsia and her associates.  The first images betrayed little except for security trying to get the door open while chaotic noises sounded behind it.  After a few long moments, they managed to get the passage open…just in time to see Kelsia, her eyes wide and with fear in her facial expression, yelling at the massive intruder who’d burst into her locker room.  Her voice didn’t betray the fear in her eyes, though…it remained stern and authoritative.::

 

Kelsia: "I don't know who you think you are, Snake! Get out of here!"

 

::Snake would turn his transparent emerald green eyes to Aurora, looking at her before speaking to Kelsia again, just the smallest change of expression coming to his features.::

 

Snake: "Do you truly think I would allow you to possibly triple team this young woman and beat her truly magnificent gift out of her? Oh, my little used up harlot I think not. Now, be a good little girl and tell your dogs to leave...unless of course...you wish me to leash them and grab my newspaper."

 

::Tony tried to haul back and hit Snake for calling Kelsia a harlot, his expression pissed; Snake easily grabbed the smaller, lighter man and threw him with great force into the nearest wall, gazing dispassionately and watching him slide to the floor unconscious as Aurora shoved past Adrean to throw a hard shot at Kelsia's face.  Kelsia returned the favor with an elbow to the forehead and the pair locked up as Adrean made to grab at Aurora to pull her away from Kelsia - which Snake was hardly going to allow, grabbing him up by the throat.::

 

::Snake's arms barely flexed as he slid Adrean up and off his feet, holding him up against the wall by the throat and squeezing.::

 

Snake: "Now, now, now Kelsia. I wouldn't want to clean up the mess his head is gonna make when it pops like a tick, but that's just me. Now, BACK UP!"

 

::Kelsia, having turned around and seeing that Adrean was being choked out, backed up from Aurora staring at Snake.::

 

Kelsia: "Let him go!"

 

::Aurora seemed to respond to that shout, letting Kelsia go and backing away from her, visibly trembling and trying to control her temper.  Her hands were shaking as she brought one up to wipe a little blood from her plush lower lip, unsure if it was Kelsia's or if she had cut her lip against one of her fangs or something.  Those amazing green eyes lost some of the heat in them, and she looked over at Snake, curiosity starting to grow in her expression.::

 

::Snake released Adrean and let him go to his knees trying to catch his breath, and turned to Aurora to lift his hand and poke her in the nose, lightly.::

 

 Snake: "And you my dear. You take better care. I may not always be around....or so inclined...to catch you."

 

Aurora:  "Thank you, Snake..."

 

::Snake looked at Aurora then to the carnage that was on the floor of the room, and a glance to Kelsia who was showing nothing but signs of fear. Walking to the door he opened it and security backed away as Snake motioned for Aurora to leave first. After they both left the room Security called for the EMTs to tend to the fallen Tony, who by then had Kelsia, and Adrean, who was holding his throat, by his side.  With barely a pause, the scenes shifted to those of the show’s opening display.::
