[The gym is empty only Morten is sitting on the ring apron, putting on his gloves. As the gloves are on he rolls into the ring, slowly rising towering over the sandbag he placed in the ring center. Looking down on it, he closes his eyes trying to focus on the task at hand. Suddenly he explodes into movement grabbing the bag swinging onto his shoulder and smashing it to the mat as he drops into a seated position, quickly he jumps up doing it again and again.]
I know what the dreams mean now!... I have to get back to who I was!... I can't be afraid of who I am inside... can't be afraid of my nature!
[Executing the move the final time almost seems to him as he is moving in slow motion, as time has stopped for him in mid air]
Deep inside I still am who I was back then, both Beast and Primal are parts of me I can never let go, why did I even try to forget that?
[he lands on the mat and lets himself fall back and just lies there staring up at the ceiling]
It was an accident I never meant to hurt anyone!
[all is silent around him again it is like time has stopped as he lets his mind travel back to that fateful day]
I still remember it all so clear, the roar of the crowd as i ran down the ramp and her staring straight into my eyes as she was playing her part hugging Ryan. I still see her sending that confident smile to let me know that she was ready for what was going to come
[inside his head he re-creates it all the filled arena roaring fans, the ring where he and his old friend Ryan Scott stand staring each other down and his girlfriend, who was managing Ryan, stepping out on the apron]
As Son as the bell rang we were at it, trading blows, we were dead set on stealing the show that night. I remember Ryan complaining that I wasn't explosive enough, that I somehow held back in our earlier matches, so this time I had promised myself I would let loose and just become Primal
[The two men are going at it hitting one big move after the other, Primal finally catching Ryan on the rebound from the ropes hoisting him high into in a Gorilla press and throwing to the outside]
It was all set up, I'd thrown him out of the ring, Kelly would run over pretending to protect him and signal me when to hit the suicide dive, it all went according to plan except....
[Kelly is helping Ryan up outside the ring, signaling Primal to do the move by screaming and cursing him, Primal flies through the ropes crashing into the two on the outside, Kelly getting squashed into the guardrail and the two men landing on top of her]
...she didn't have time to get out of the way, I was to fast for her to move, I botched the move and...
[EMT's are rushing Kelly into a ambulance on a stretcher in the background Primal is held back by Ryan and the backstage crew, crying and screaming]
How is she?... where are you taking her?... Kelly!!!!!
I still see them driving away, I was panicked and frightened, but most of all I was angry, angry with myself that I botched it, that I didn't think of her safety.
[The imagery of that night slowly fades from his mind as he sits up, teary eyed he looks over at the bench where he put his training bag]
I should call her, just call her and talk with her like we used to. I know she said that it wasnt' my fault, that she didn't held it against me, but I couldn't forgive myself, I couldn't stand being with her, seeing the pain I caused her... that Primal cost her... but now I need him back....
[Slowly he stands and walks out of the ring, out of the room, still conflicted with what he is doing]
