**Erick sits in his bunk, looking over the games he's played. Suddenly, Ragnar and the head coach come in

Erick "Ragnar! Coach! It's a pleasure to see you guys.."

Erick stands tall and smiles warmly, Ragnar sighs and frowns

Ragnar "Erick... You've been a good man on our team... But we're afraid we need to cut you. You're bloating our teams value way too much, we're going to get slaughtered if we keep you on."

Ericks happy smile turns into a shocked frown as the Head coach tosses over a large bag of gold

Coach "Heres your Payment for the four games, and compensation for the six more games we signed you on for."

Erick "But... But, I'm a part of the team! I'm one of you!!!"

Coach "Yes, but, you have no real development. You hardly score, kill, or even hurt the enemy! We're going to need to let you go."

Ericks expression sinks and he slumps over a bit

Erick "I... I don't understand... I've tried so hard... But... I guess I must. Its been an honor playing by your side, Ragnar."

Erick walks out of the bunk-house, heartbroken.

Ragnar clears his throat

Ragnar "That doesn't mean you still can't play one last game, Erick... Maybe if you prove yourself, we'll let you stay on."

Erick looks back and smiles

Erick "You... You mean it?"

Coach "Yeah... Might as well see.."
