Rasslers, Rusty Nails and Referencing.
The Icarus teetered perilously over the city streets below. Fragments of brick from its perch occasionally fell, breaking car windows and sometimes causing people to bleed severely from their heads.

Today no whole bricks fell. It was merely pebbles that hit the front pavement of the Hapi Tuuriste. They had been loosened due to the slight vibrations that the Icarus was undergoing.

Nephrid pounded through the leather strap of his newly acquired belt with a large hammer. Rusty nails pierced the strap in odd places and found their way into the bulkhead

He stepped back to admire his work.

The Improv Belt was permanently affixed to a wall of the Icarus.

“There we go.” Nephrid dusted his hands solemnly. “Now no one can take it away.”

Nephrid was indeed happy about his triumph over the Shocel. There was no question about that. He didn’t let it show, though. It was simply not in his character.

Just then, C-R4P stormed in, looking quite irate. He was waving a small black videotape in the air and yelling something about a travesty.

“What is it?” Nephrid turned to the robot.

“I just saw ZZYZX’s latest segment.” His oculars narrowed.

“What the hell is a ZZYZX?”

“He’s your opponent for the new episode.” Fourpee explained, “He’s the wrestler from Texas.”

“A Texan wrestler? Oh, you mean a Rassler.”

“Yeah. That’s it.”

“What about him?”

“Watch this.” Fourpee popped the tape into a nearby computer panel. It was a scene from ZZYZX’s latest segment.

Nephrid stared in awe as he saw what looked like himself pouncing on ZZYZX. Then he- or whoever it was-got thrown through a wall. The tape cut off into black and white snow afterwards.

“What-”

“What did you DO?” Fourpee yelled at Nephrid, “Why’d you go attack ZZYZX before the match?”

“Wha-” Nephrid had no idea what was going on, “I didn’t attack ZZYZX! I never met the guy!”

“Then how do you explain that?”

“Well…whatever it was…it wasn’t me.” He stated simply, and with confidence.

“Then there’s only one explanation.” The gears in Fourpee’s head whirred, which was strange, since most of his gears were located in his ass.

“Maybe it’s a clone.” Nephrid offered up a suggestion.

“No…we’re not going to be doing THAT again.” C-R4P said, while Nephrid raised an eyebrow.

“Then what’s your explanation?”

“…AN EVIL TWIN.”

Nephrid’s shoulders slumped and he gave Fourpee a condescending look, “The sad thing is, that’s the smartest thing I’ve heard all day.”

“We’ve gotta find some way to stop this guy before he does any more damage to your reputation. We can’t have our Improv Champion running around and beating on people before his matches.”

Nephrid hadn’t listened to a thing and just rambled off an idea, “Don’t evil twins usually have goatees or something?”

“True.” Fourpee conceded, “But this guy must’ve shaved it off.”

“Right.”

“Well, I’m gonna go after this guy and beat the shjt out of him.” C-R4P headed towards the exit hatch, “Wish me luck.”

“Farewell, Bot of La Mancha.” Nephrid offered a sardonic salute.

“Damn straight!” Fourpee hopped out the exit.

As the hatch closed, the Improv Belt wriggled out of place and fell to the ground with a loud, metallic thud.

“Son of a bitçh. Lemme get the Krazy Glue.”
