Essentially, EBWF is no different than a herd of lions. Their behavior is exactly the same... Tightly knotted, often starting confrontations with other hers of lions. If an outsider (like him) were to come, he would have to jump through hoops of fire to prove his worth... However, there was no established figure of authority within the herd. This meant there was a constant power struggle within the herd... There was always a fight to stay 'King of the mountain'.
What does it take to make it in the EBWF? As easy as the questions is to answer, there have been only but a handful of people to achieve such a thing. How did they managed to take EBWF as their hunting trophy? People who have gone down in EBWF history have done so by being relentless, ruthless, savage. But at the same time... Logic, clinical and pragmatic... Of course Leo had found out about EBWF's weak spots, but by going further I would do nothing but spoil the fun on how Leo plans to make it to the top.
In the mean time... Defending his Breakout Championship was the task he had at hand. His opponent? The man he beat for it two months ago, Tensai... He and Tensai had locked horns in the past, with Leo getting the advantage and his first ever hunting trophy in EBWF... Leo was not interested in having to face a man who he had beaten before, no matter how big, powerful and menacing he looked. While doing his homework on Tensai, he had not only found the japanese warrior's true weakness, he bumped into a small motivation that would help him in this match.

"Ahhh yes... Tensai is a big opponent, bigger than average... He has a lot of power in his upper limbs... But can also gracefully dance across the ring during matches. He was quite a formidable foe toe to toe. To take him for granted would be a dire mistake... The offensive strategy should of course target the lower limbs, given the excess weight he carries... But the offensive goes far... beyond the human anatomy. Proper offensive begins in the soul..."
Leo wore a brown hooded jacket and olive military cut pants with black hi-top leather combat boots... He walked along the backstage halls, his pace was slow, clinical, insightful. The house show was already over and everyone was heading out, putting things in the truck before calling it a night. Leo's hazel colored eyes examined the surroundings before he dragged the hood of his jacket backwards. He had found what he was looking for... An EBWF crew guy dragged a very familiar black, goth looking throne along the backstage halls. Leo walked right in front of the throne.
EBWF Crew member: Excuse me... Sir... Can I help you?
Leo's lips curved up in a smirk, his smirk turned into a slow cackle.
Leo Kruger: I think it is you who needs help.
Leo slowly placed both hands on the throne, helping the Crew member drag it into the back of the truck with the rest of the stuff. The man went out of the truck to continue on with his job... Leo slid his fingers along the arms of the chair... Soon, between his fingers he gathered a couple of long, raven silky hairs... Which he brought closer to his nose... Rubbing the hand that contained them slowly along his nose trills... Sniffing aloud like a wolverine. He closed his eyes and tried to mentally revive the moment he crossed the owner of the throne... He bullied her... He tried to scare her... He tried to make it seem as if she was in peril... Causing Tensai to snap and become really, really angry... The thought caused him to chuckle a bit. Leo sat on the throne and just smirked... Knowing that enraging the humongous Tensai again was not the way to go this time... Leo truly wanted to break him, for good.

"I have a confession to make."
The voice was heard amidst darkness.
"I... Have come across something..."
The scene faded from black as a camera guided us through the backstage area.
"Someone..."
The camera continued to stroll, the voice went on speaking.
"Someone who escaped me the first time I met..."
The camera stopped at a closed door. The camera panned up slowly, steadily...
"Someone who fits quite well in the 'Prey' category..."
The camera shot a hand turning the doorknob open, by now it was clear it was Leo Kruger who held the door, given the tanned skin and leopard skin armbands he wore.
"Someone who I would adore to corner... And toy with... "
The camera focused on the plaque of the door which read "PAIGE".
"Like a lion does with a mouse..."
The hunter stepped into the room, which had dim lightings provided by a few candles.
"Aww... It looks like nobody's home! Guess I'll just hang out... Have fun here and... I'd love to see you at the ring later."
The camera paced across the room... Finding the throne of the Queen of the ring finalist. Upon the Throne sat a familiar looking plush doll... Which was grasped by his brute hand and brought across his nose.
"Hmmm... Gotta love the scent of your prey... Paige... I know exactly how you smell... And I can't wait to saturate my nose with your sweet, sweet scent."
Once through with the odor sleuth, Leo set the camera down and sat on her throne, the skelecat plush resting on his right thigh... His hazel colored eyes shooting straight into the camera... Leo couldn't contain that smirk that was drawn upon his face. The Breakout title gold wrapped around his waist, Leo was clad completely in black, he could be mistaken by a Shield member.
Leo Kruger: Paige... Only one thing stands between me and my prey... And that thing is Tensai. A man I have no interest in facing, because we all know that after tonight I will end up proving my obvious superiority yet again. But nevertheless a man who I am slated to defeat... You see... I am no longer interested in proving my superiority... This belt that I took from you is no longer a worthy... Trophy.
Leo patted his belt.
Leo Kruger: Instead... I have laid eyes on your Paige.
Leo leaned into the camera.
Leo Kruger: Are you angry? Is your blood boiling? I truly don't mind...
A broken smile filled Kruger's face.
Leo Kruger: You see, I have found out that all of this is irrelevant to you... You don't want to prove you are the most dominant monster in the EBWF... You lost your original drive... And now your only motivation is... my prey.
Leo nodded.
Leo Kruger: She is what makes you open your eyes everyday... She is what made you come back and attempt to defeat me... What is going to happen when I take her?
Leo looked menacingly, picturing he'd stare into Tensai's eyes.
Leo Kruger: No matter how angry you get, you aren't going to be able to stop me from doing my bidding. Let's see... What are the odds that you defeat me tonight? With you being the only obstacle between me and my lovely, lovely, ravishing prey... I think I might once again come on top and add another delicious looking, ravishing, edible trophy to my collection... For I am the only alpha male in the EBWF. See you later... And Paige... Please don't make me look for you...
Leo smirked into the camera one last time as the scene faded to black.
