All right, Wally.
Here we go, dude.
You can do this.
Deep breaths.
I look towards the camera and give a thumbs up. Jay – standing in for Lyndsey, who's still huffy, and won't return my texts – signals back, to indicate he's started filming.
All right, Wally.
Here we go, dude.
You can do this.
Deep breaths.
'The first thing any aspiring hero is taught is that nobody's perfect. You're not invincible, and you won't be in control one hundred percent of the time. You're going to make mistakes, and you're going to suffer setbacks. It's how you react and move past those that defines you as a hero.
In Montreal, this hero made a mistake. I failed to see the plan of attack I had devised for mine and El Vainillo's match against the Misfits through, resulting in our team's first loss in this tournament. But rather than sit and make excuses, and since the only person I owe an apology to has already forgiven me, I've decided to redeem myself by beating the leader of the Misfits.'
Doing good, buddy. Keep going.
'Tiger Mask...in Montreal, your little sister did what you yourself couldn't - get the best of El Vainillo. The same El Vainillo who then beat you for your Supremo Championship, even weakened by that match earlier in the night. I can only imagine how that must feel. And I'm sure you'll be planning to take your frustrations out on the Champion's partner. He's just a fat dork in a uniform, how hard can he be to beat for the former Scramble and Supremo Champion of Pollomania, right?
Well, let me tell you something, Tiger.'
Poker face on, Wally. Be cool. Don't let them see how nervous you are.
'Tiger...when we meet at the Great Canadian Freeze...you're going to see just what this Owl is made of. See, underneath the mask...underneath all this stuffing...is the heart of a hero. And the heart of a hero never gives in.
Tiger...I'm not saying I WILL beat you in Toronto. Only an idiot would promise to beat a former double Champion. But I will prove to the Pollo Nation that you're not bulletproof. You're not invincible. That when you get cut, you bleed, just like anyone else. And I will prove to you, Tiger, that there's no weak link in Masked Justice; and that there's more to this fat dork than meets the eye.
I know I have what it takes to bring you down, Tiger. And on March 9, in Toronto...you, and all the Pollomaniacs, are going to know it too.
So tell me, brother...what'cha gonna do...when some Owlsome justice Swoops down on you?!'
My spirits are soaring as I step off-camera and high-five Jay.
And that's before I get the text.
'Sorry I yelled. Am total b-word. Xoxo L.'
That's the moment I know what it feels like to touch Heaven.
