The camera shows a bloodied and battered Hiro Masamune staring into the mirror as he has a rag wiping some of the blood from his forehead. As a stereo starts to play The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy starts to play.



Put on your war paint

Hiro wipes some of the blood from the gash on his forehead and uses it to turn into Japanese war paint.

You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July setting fire to the sky
Here, here comes this rising tide, so come on

He washes the remaining blood from his hands as he grabs an elastic band and gathers his hair and ties it into a chonmage.

Put on your war paint

Hiro grabs some makeup left behind to paint the non blood covered part of his face white.

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings

Hiro Masamune: V.V.C., you think this is a playground fun and games and taking what you want... Well you have entered a warzone, so put on your war paint.

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart

Hiro Masamune: We will crush each of you one by one and take NEW back. You woke the warrior sleeping inside and now King Enma rides my shoulder.

Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Hiro Masamune: This isn't about gold or glory this is blood and honor and no longer am I a white knight as I am wearing black.

Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit, " says the note we pass

Hiro Masamune: Dean Tyler, and the rest of your brood is walking into the underworld and you think this blood will scare me and destroy me, well you killed the naive boy that was trying to be a hero...

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart

Hiro starts laughing maniacally.

Hiro Masamune: You awakened my akuma and now you will see what pain is.

Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Hiro Masamune: I have risen like a phoenix!

Put on your war paint

Hiro Masamune rips his tortn and tattered shirt showing his sweat glistened muscles as he grabs his sword and makes a cut over his heart and points the sword at the camera.

The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love

Hiro Masamune: The time ticks down...

The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love

Hiro Masamune: The war drums call

The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love

Hiro closes eyes and looks at the ceiling.

Hiro Masamune: The clarions call...

The war is won, before it's begun (Wave the white flag!)
Release the doves, surrender love (Wave the white flag!)

Hiro Masamune: This is the end of times for the V.V.C. Worlds Will Collide and only NEW remains.

Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Hiro sheaths the katana.

Hiro Masamune: V.V.C. you have walked a bloodied road and now you stand at the gates of Yomi and I am your Shinigami...

Put on your war paint

Hiuro puts his hand over his bleeding chest holds it to the camera and then licks the blood from his hand as the camera fades out.

The camera shows in the parking lot of the Greensboro Coliseum. Isaac Boothe and Alistair are standing with Merxy Black, Deimos, Phobos, and Astaroth. They are all lounging around the V.V.C monster truck stretch limo.

Isaac Boothe: Greensboro,North Carolina. Welcome to the end of the NEW. We said it before and we will say it again. the V.V.C. has come and we have shed blood and tears. We have annihilated your heroes and we have slain your monsters. Now we will take your trophies.

Alistair: You tried beating us at Chess, yet you couldn't even take a pawn. You are a bunch of egos. A motley crew running around with no rhyme or reason. You are divided and Sunday you will fall.

Astaroth: Little small dick boys and little uptight bitches, I am Astaroth the desire of all those with a libido. A distraction that can be deadly, but my fangs and claws can draw blood and rip flesh and at When Worlds Collide one of the V.V.C. will be walking out the champion while the rest of the NEW roster will have to bow and scrape at our feet in ultimate surrender.

Merxy: Don't any of you fools try to get any smart ideas about going after Isaac or Alistair or you will find out why I survived on the streets all my life, it is a painful and bloody lesson you will not want to learn.

Phobos: Look up greatness and you feel that acidic taste in the back of your throat that tension in your stomach. That queasy feeling? That is FEAR! Fear of the God of Fear and the V.V.C. we will leave you face down in puddles of blood and urine and you won't have Commissioner Ambros to run and cry to because he is still sitting at home drinking soup through a straw. That is a fate for the rest of NEW and no one can stop us.

Deimos: As my brother so eloquently put you look at the V.V.C. We are the embodiment of fear, terror, despair, pain, misery, blood, violence, chaos, destruction, and suffering. You are a a collection of great talent and you think this is a free for all for the World title. No this is a war. We have an army, you have individuals fighting us and each other. This is a fight you cannot win. Save yourself medical bills and trips to the hospital and when it comes time to draw your numbers say no thank you, get in your cars and go home, tails tucked between your legs. That is the only way you will live longer...

Isaac and the others turn and walk into the arena.

[Dean Tyler]

Dean's 2nd rp.

A few days have come and gone as the man who is known in the Neo Elite Wrestling federation as “ The Visionary” and the leader of the Visionary Violence Club aka VVC, Dean Tyler is seen inside of his amazing Cincinnati, Ohio house reflecting on his time so far at the fed. He sees that the VVC is doing amazing so far and he’s so damn happy that his stable is growing by the days. He is seen walking around his house and says to himself.

Dean: Ha! Ha! Ha! If you peasants are remotely thinking that the VVC is going to fall and crumble, you idiots have another thing coming. We are growing each and every day. I really am loving it all. I have not heard from the emo pretty boy Juste. I may know why. It’s because he is jumping from one woman to the next thinking that he can play the hero. Why don’t you tell the precious Anisa and your new flavor of the month Maddie to watch you not only get thrown over the top rope but also see you bleed crimson red. I may want to happily hang you and see your life get taken away. Tsk! Tsk!

He is now seen in the kitchen making himself a small pasta salad and a turkey and cheese sandwich to have because he’s getting quite hungry. He is seen saying once again with a wicked smile seen seeping through his mouth.

Dean: Now, moving forward to who all have spoken so far. Leon Dread. You should be dreading at being in the same ring as me. I can’t wait to suck all of your blood right out of your soon to be soul less body.

He is seen looking over the boiling water and not only adds the pasta to the pot but a little salt to make sure that the pasta will not stick to the pot and say.

Dean: Mr. DuLac! You playing the hero role to Uh Oh! Oh, so sweet, so touching! That will be your own downfall .Genocide, I already have heard you speak and you seem to have a liking towards this Stalker person. Gag me with a spoon. Ewww! Before you even think that you will be the new World Heavyweight Champion, you have to go through me. Ambros and Denise, you two are so damn dumb if you both can think of trying to get rid of the VVC. We VVC are not going any damn where so please get used to us being around. Anders, you are simply taking your pure out frustrations right out on the VVC because you LOST to ME in a tournament. You are very salty about that. Please really get over yourself , you old relic. Thantos, welcome to the VVC universe. The universe of us seeing you go back to looking all shades of emo with your Gothic look. Eric Herrera, try to bring your “ army” and see if you have what it takes to dethrone the VVC. Keep trying but you will simply fall and pray.To the geeks, I can’t wait to break every teeth right down your throats until I see you bleed. You see, blood really turns me on. I am a modern day vampire. Hiro, you will see that this is a war that you really can’t win. I can’t wait to see me become the new World Heavyweight Champion even if I remotely die trying,

He is heard evily laughing as he is seen finishing making his pasta salad and his sandwich.

Act 1: Simple Words

Voice Over: Being home is one of those things that can never change. Family is family.

The scene opens on the New York countryside. The sun was shinning brightly in the sky, but daylight was fading fast. The birds songs were starting to fade and the fireflies were starting to float along the vast fields that lined either side of the long stretch of road. We soon see an all to familiar town of Dunwich. The camera moves over the town and soon comes to a stop on the massive manor that sat on the hill. The camera moves to the interior of the house where we see Necra sitting in the kitchen with a little boy with dark hair and red eyes. Ex sits across from them. Uh Oh stumbles in covered in dried mud, blood, and his clothing ripped to shreds. He looks around back and forth and leans against the door panting. Necra looks up and sighs shaking her head.

Necra: What happened to you?

Uh Oh panting and gasping for breath.

Uh OH: Big... bear... white powder... bright sunglasses... bedazzled neon cowboy hat...

Necra: What?

Uh Oh: Someone told me to wrestle a bear... I thought maybe a black bear cub... not a giant Kodiak bear with white powder on his face... sunglasses. cowboy hat and a weird growl that sounded like I was being surprised with Kool-Aid

Ex: Ha! I didn't think you would do it!

Necra looks over at him and sighs.

Necra: Really? He could have been killed.

Ex: With what Seph has been putting him through I knew he could handle it.

Uh Oh: I lost him when I swam through the piranha lake then he found me at the snake pit. I ditched him at the crocodile pond.

Necra: You're lucky you're still alive.

The little boy looks over at him, and in his mind he hears:

Aries: I'm hungry. Can I get dinner?

Uh Oh: Of course, little one how does a Hawaiian salad sound?

Aries: Anything is good.

Ex: Salad? Meat man!

Uh Oh: Hawaiian Salad is ham steaks, mushrooms, mandarin oranges,pineapples and noodles with a garlic herb sweet basil dressing

Ex: Then make it double man!

Necra: Ex why don't you go and take Aries to the game room for a bit?

Uh Oh:  Normal or spicy?

Ex: Spicy.

Ex walks out of the kitchen with the little boy following behind. Necra sighs.

Necra: Sorry about that...

Uh Oh: It is alright I like making food

Necra: No I meant the bear. I didn't even think it was even out there anymore...

Uh Oh: Oh, well at least he wasn't as fast as the wolves.

Necra: The wolves wouldn't hurt you. They just like to chase people.

Uh Oh: I wish I knew that before climbing the tree... and sliding down the tree...pine cones should not go there

Necra smirks.

Necra: I'm sorry. How is your training going?

Uh Oh: Painful

Necra: You're almost done. You've had the talk with him, so that means just one last step.

Uh Oh: He wanted me to meet him and bring a shovel, I'll do that after I make lunch.

Necra's eyes get wide but a small smile forms on her lips.

Necra: Oh...

Uh Oh: Yeah, he didn't tell me too much, I'm hoping its some gardening, you need some more onions, garlic, basil, and tomatoes

Necra: Umm... I know what's going to happen... But I really shouldn't say... You'll know when it happens. All I'll say is don't panic.

Uh Oh pauses and his eyes seem to focus on internal thoughts as if he is contemplating what she means.

Uh Oh: OH! Yeah good call, we're probably digging holes to make fence posts and stringing some fencing to keep the bear out.

Necra looks surprised.

Necra: Yeah, yeah... To keep the bear out. Did he tell you WHERE you were going with the shovel?

Uh Oh: He gave me directions.

Necra: I see. Well my words ring true. I'll be back. And Uh Oh good luck.

Uh Oh: Thanks, tell them lunch in 15 minutes.

Necra: Right.

She turns and walks out of the kitchen leaving Uh Oh alone. Necra moves along the hallway passing by the dinning room. It was empty except the vast lay out of food that had already been started. She moves through the foyer passing by the massive statue of the Lord of the house and the three women that call themselves the Queens of the Darkside. She moves up the stairs and stops in front of a door that was opened. She sighs as she hears voices coming from the upper floor in the attic. She closes the door and continues along the hallway.

Necra: These halls have heard screams, crying, laughter, and the sounds of love. The house itself is alive and full of life once again. The family has come together and trust me when all of us come at people there is nothing that can stop us. The VVC thinks that they have this all figured out, and that they can beat us. But you don't seem to understand what is truly coming.

Necra moves along the hallway passing by pictures on the wall. All of them had dates under them and some seemed to be of the same person. We soon see a picture of Necra, and Ex, and a rather large man with what appears to be a steel hockey mask. She soon comes to a set of double doors and she stops.

Necra: I've walked this hall more times than I can remember. My son now plays in the same room that I played in. All of the children that now reside in this house wander the halls learning from those that dwell within. The point I'm trying to make is simple... When this generation of superstars reigns ends, the next generation will be ready to take over. But for now it's up to us to get what we want. When World's Collide happens it will be just the beginning of what is to come and there is nothing that anyone can to do stop it.

She opens the doors and walks into the massive room. The room itself was done in a light sandstone color on the walls with hieroglyphics telling about the young goddess that dwelt within. The floor was done in a black sandstone and the furniture seemed to be hand made and done in a dark wood. A king size bed sat in the middle of the room, filled with pillows and a giant black panther laid upon it.

Necra: Lets see, where do I begin... Oh Thantos... You do realize that NEW is not a person right? I mean you are treating the company as if it were alive, not a company. Have you gotten hit in the head? Or are you just that stupid? I mean if anyone has really listened to you then they are just as stupid as you are. This company has people in it that are willing to break their bodies and bleed until they have what they want. The Darkside is just one of those factions filled with people that have won titles in other companies and been in hall of fames just to prove a point to the locker room and the rest of the world around us. If you think you have this match won think again. You are nothing! And I will take great joy in destroying you.

She smirks as she walks to what appears to be a desk with designs  all over it. A dressing mannequin stood just a few feet away from it. She looks over the designs and smiles.

Necra: Dean, I'm not sure you understand what is coming your way. You're already underestimating us, and what we can do. You think the VVC is going to save you in this match? No... Everyone is out for themselves and it won't matter in the end if it's you or anyone else in the VVC that will walk away with nothing. You see the Darkside is going to come in there and do whatever it takes to win. Even if it comes down to one of us facing the other, for the simple fact that we are family. But Dean you've done something stupid. You took something that belongs to my dearest uncle, and we, rather HE will do anything to get her back. I'm afraid even you're little love interest is not going to stand by you for very long when you are broken. As for the traitors, Alistair, Phobos, Deimos,  Genesis, Ashtroth, Baalazbul you should never have backed the VVC. You know what happens to those that go against the family right? I guess you don't considering that you did betray us. The last person to turn on the family was hunted down and torn apart. This match at WWC is your end! This will not end well for ANY of you. You can hide behind the VVC but I'm afraid it's not going to help. You know what is coming and there is no where to hide.

She walks toward the window and looks out over the grounds. The grounds themselves stretched out as far as the eye could see, and rose bushes of deep reds, lined a walkway that moved along the grounds.

Necra: Hiro I know that you are fighting against the VVC and I appreciate the help when you appear. I know what you can do and I'm sure that you will do what needs to be done but I'm afraid that you will not make it as far as you think you will. My dearest Dread, I know you would do anything for me, and have done more than I have asked of you. This is a fight where I will need you to be ready for anything and everything that others and I will throw at you. You are family and will always be no matter if we stand together or face off against each other. Genocide... Really? What is it with Stalker that seems to make you all giddy? Did you two have something that no one else will understand or do you just want to destroy him to prove a point? I mean either way you will stand on your own against him. No one cares about Stalker, considering no one has seen him in months, years or however it has been. You are another wannabe that thinks they are just going to show up and win this match. Think again. You have faction, against faction... Well one faction against everyone else. So if you were smart you would just stay out of this match and walk away, but I have a feeling you're not.

She opens the balcony doors and walks out into the late evening. The last few rays of the sun had set over the horizon, as the sound of frogs from the ponds along with wolves howling somewhere in the forest that surrounded the house.

Necra: Eric I remember the matches that Vero and I have had, and you're right we brought the house down each and every time that we met. I'm glad to see that you are on the right side of history and that what has been wronged will be righted no matter what happens or who stands in the way. I know your family will stand with you and right now we are looking for anyone to stand with us against the VVC, but this match is one where teams, family, factions even matter. Everyone is out for themselves and I know all of you will fight to the end.  Jay, Lance you've done the same thing that former members of the Darkside have done. You've betrayed family and that is never good. I just hope you know what you're getting into when you step into this match.

She soon sees Seph leading Uh Oh down a long path way and toward the gate for the cemetery.

Necra: The time has come. Uh Oh will be one of us. More so then he even realizes. Most of us get a choice of how we are brought into our new lives. I don't think Uh Oh realizes it yet... But he will soon enough. As for Jenny, Hope and Faith you three are still new and yet to have a true challenge. This is your beginning but also your end. I know that you are trying to help us which I am grateful for, but I'm afraid you don't realize what you are truly up against in the ring. I know you think you have what it takes to stand against people that have seen a lot action and had longer careers but you don't understand just yet. 

She stares off into the distance, trying to hear the "CLANG" of the shovel but it was to far. She knew what it was like to dig her own grave and climb out. Most of them did. It was a right of passage, the start of a new life...

Necra: My dearest Ander, you have always made me proud. I have stood by and watched you grow up, and find your way in life, and in the ring. You and your sister both have been champions, and proven your worth. This match will be no different. Denise you and I are friends, sisters... We've been partners in matches, we've faced off against each other but we are family. No matter what we have done, the odds we have faced we have always managed to pull a win. And my dearest uncle... You helped raise me into the woman I am today. But now we have to face off against the other as we all have before in other companies when big matches were called for. We are both champions in our own right, and have proven time and time again that we are the best of the best. This match is just another chance to prove that and so much more. I have let you down, but not again. We will take back what is yours and titles along with it. I am the Alpha and the Omega, The Beginning and The End, The Queen of the Dead, The Lady in Black, The Reaper of Souls, The Goddess of Death, The Angel of Death, The Child of Heaven and Hell! Fear me; for when you look upon me you will see your end. See you soon and good luck, you're going to need it.

With that she turns and walks back inside as the scene fades to black.

[Admin]

The camera falls on the exterior of a dark gloomy graveyard. The fresh scent of cut grass and ozone hangs in the air as the sun fades in the background of evening light. The sound of a shovel digging fills the air as the gentle cawing of carrion birds call from the trees. Here we find Uh Oh digging deep into an open hole big enough for a grave. Sweat pours from his forehead as above him the looming shadow of Sephiroth du Lac stares down at him coldly.

Seph: I appreciate this, Uh Oh. I'd ask Ex to do it or Abel but between babysitting Aries and Izzy I think they have their hands full.

Uh Oh: A little hard work won't kill me, at least I am not being chased by wolves today or trying to hit lightning with a metal bat

Seph: I never asked you to do that. that was Sothren trying to get you struck by lightning.

Uh Oh: Oh... well after the third time I discovered I can taste the color purple now

Seph: now the wolves yes though. And wasn't it a pleasant run? You know some people pay a lot of money to run in nature.

Uh Oh: Not with steak tips and bologna in their pockets, between the wolves, raccoons, mosquitos and that one guy Fredericko it was quite a run

Seph: Yes, I should have warned you about the locals. I'm afraid enough generations of inbreeding and you tend to get some... varied results on sanity. Or maybe it's the fact they aren't allowed to leave. I suppose I'll have to get the doctor to make a study while she is home. Well, that is a fine grave. You do good work.

Uh Oh: Thank you, so who is this grave for a friend? Love one? Pet? Enemy?

Seph: Dear friend of mine. By the way can I see that shovel a moment?

Seph holds out his hand wanting the tool

Uh Oh wipes the sweat from the handle of the shovel and hands it to Seph

Seph smiles taking it and holding it up.

Seph: Thank you.

*He then suddenly pulls back and swings slamming the face of the shovel against Uh Oh's head with a loud metal THUNK as everything goes black.

A while later Uh Oh wakes in a small enclosed place in the pitch black. Two small objects felt on his chest.*
Uh Oh: I miss the days when Molly would just kidnap me with nets and not people hitting me with blunt objects...

He feels the objects on his chest.

He feels around and eventually discovers one to be a lighter. He quickly alights it revealing a wooden box and the other a tape recorder. Confused and barely able to move he hits play.

Seph's Voice: Uh Oh... as you might have surmised by now the grave you dug was your own. What I failed to mention before is our initiation rights. See I learned a long time ago that in order to remove one's humanity one must be put in an inhuman position. The box you are in is a makeshift coffin. You have about 2 hours of air.... 1 if you panic. So I ask you to stay calm despite your... delicate position....

Seph: Voice: I can already assume my advice isn't working so I'll be brief. You need to get out. The only way out is up. Break free of this coffin and climb to freedom. Succeed and you will finally kill that part of you that fears death. And if not... I am sorry, my boy. I will save her for you. But I have faith in you. Good luck, Uh Oh... this message will self destruct in 5 seconds.

Uh Oh looks around panicking.

Seph's Voice: Just kidding

In the Grave

The air was filled with the earthy smell of soil as some of it slipped between the cracks in the lid. He let the light extinguish knowing it was using precious oxygen.

Uh Oh: Well you got yourself in a pickle now…think think think… oh bother…

Uh Oh tries to smash the casket lid with the tape recorder trying to use the corner as a focal point to strike but after a few lack luster swings the tape recorder shattered.

Uh Oh: hmmm… if Nintendo made this, I could have broken through with it.

He felt around in the darkness trying to find some piece of the tape recorder to use as a tool. He found a sharp corner and tried wedging it into a crack and slowly working it back and forth trying to make a hole in the lid as a little more dirt invaded the casket.

Uh Oh: Hmmm I should have taken up whittling…

He hears a snap as the plastic piece he was using as a wedge snaps.

Uh Oh: Ph… poop biscuits…

Uh Oh slaps the lid and yelps in pain.

Uh Oh: I’m sorry Joanne… I thought I had gotten stronger…

Uh Oh sighs quietly closing his eyes but the darkness remained.

Uh Oh: All of this is all my fault for not protecting you or myself…such a disappointment…

Uh Oh tries to move but thwacks his head into the lid.

Uh Oh: OW!

Uh Oh: No no no… can’t give up….

Uh Oh flails helplessly trying to break the wood.

Uh Oh: Mr. Casket Lid, I hope you realize I am glaring at you as hard as I can.

After a minute Uh Oh exhales.

Uh Oh: I feel that would have been more effective if I was a cartoon little sister.

Uh Oh feels around and feels the lighter…

Uh Oh: Hmm.. maybe… no.. thats crazy… is it? Maybe…. Crazy enough to work? We’ll never know until we try…

On the ground above the grave we see Sephiroth standing over the grave staring down as Sothren appears beside him.

Soth: What's going on?

Seph: I buried Uh Oh.

Soth: You buried Uh Oh?

Sothren laughs.

Soth: You buried Uh Oh?!

He runs off back to the house and shouts.

Soth: SEPH BURIED UH OH!!!

The others soon come run out of the house.

Emily: What do you mean he buried him?

Soth: He's putting Uh Oh through the final part of the test.

Necra: Oh wow... Let's go and see how long it takes.

They all head back to where Seph stands over the grave.

Maria: How long has he been down there?

Seph: He's been down there for about 15 minutes.

Necra pulls out her tablet and starts to scroll through.

Ex: Checking the list?

Necra: Nothing yet.

Emily: How long does he have?

Seph: About two hours... An hour if he panics.

Maria: You know he will.

Emily: Should we be worried?

Necra: I don't know. But there's nothing yet.

Time passes and soon it inches up on two hours. Seph looks at his watch and sighs.

Ex: He's been down there a long time.

Emily: Should we help him?

Seph: No, he has to do this on his own.

Soth: Dibs on his wallet!

Ex: Stop that. Give some reverence for the dead.

Necra: He's not dead yet!

Little boy: What if he doesn't come up mama?

Emily: I don't know... We'll help him if we need to sweety.

They all start to walk off as Necra looks down and sees fingers come up from the ground.

Necra: Look!

Seph turns and moves to the grave once again.

Seph: Dig him out!

Ex and Abel both start to dig out the dirt.

Flaming hands erupt from the dirt as it appears tattered rags covered bloody hands had somehow caught fire.

Seph seems to smile as he sees hands come up.from the dirt.

Seph: Get in there and help him.

Necra, Sothren and Maria all start to pull him out of the dirt.

The grasping hands are followed by a head covered in fabric that is dirty and burned.

They pull Uh Oh to his feet.

His clothes are dirt stained and burned as he quickly removes the charred fabric from the head and hands.

Uh Oh: What do you nean?

Seph: You are no longer Uh Oh... You are Ulysses

Uh Oh look at Seph.

Uh Oh: Ulysses and Uh Oh. War and Peace. Fighter and Lover. We are one but separate. Uh Oh will always be for the family and will make peace happy. I am meant for war and I will shed blood for the Darkside.

Sothren pats him on the back.

Soth: You made your bones kid!

Ex: You're one of us now little guy.

Sothren walks back to Necra as she smirks.

Necra: I knew you would do it. And daddy you owe me...

Sothren sighs and hands her a dollar.

Ulysses: When do we strike?

Seph: When worlds collide, my boy. Then we shall show them why they fear the dark. You will show them why they cower in the night.

Ulysses: They will find out why you called me Ulysses and why this name, this title means Wrathful.

The camera cuts to the Greensboro Coliseum the night of When Worlds Collide.

Backstage there is tension in the air. While there is an alliance against the V.V.C. It is tenuous at best. Uh Oh is pulling on his boots. Kasumi the NEW backstage interviewer walks in. Her hair tied back into twin ribbons. She bows to Uh Oh.

Kasumi: Uh Oh-san, may I please get a few words with you?

Uh Oh: Me? Uhm… why? Uh sure… okay…

Kasumi: Are you worried about the When Worlds Collide Rumble?

Uh Oh: Well it is a match where everyone is in and anything and everything can and probably will happen so yes I am worried.

Kasumi: Do you have a main goal?

Uh Oh: My goal is to free Joanne and stop the V.V.C. NEW has the greatest roster and I am not deluding myself to think I have a chance at winning especially with my number…

Kasumi: What is your number?

Uh Oh: Nuh uh, it's a surprise, but one thing that won’t be a surprise is when V.V.C. get in the ring they are marked by the entire roster and I will do what I must to get Joanne back. I even packed my old friend Wooden Courage.

Uh Oh hold sup an aluminum bat.

Kasumi: That is aluminum.

Uh Oh: I know but it is so much harder to spell aluminum than wooden.

Kasumi: Okay….

Uh Oh: V.V.C. you think you are the baddest monsters around. Well the Darkside is here and they are the ones who the Bogeyman looks in the closet and under the bed for before he goes to bed. They are coming and I WILL rescue Joanne. Just watch me…

JUh Oh walks past Kasumi as the camera fades to black.

[stalkerknight]

The scene opens and we see all of Parliament gathered around a table including the tiny Elf. Grey is seated at the head of the table, she looks around the table. Her gaze came to rest on Blak. She immediately smiles, but then her smile fades. Grey extends her hand to Blak, and he takes it holding it in his giant hands.



Grey: "At the Pay Per View When World's Collide the V.V.C. all have giant targets on their backs. This is good for us, but it is a match where the biggest facet of the whole thing is every man, woman, and monster for themselves. So this would seem to mean that members of this family could be forced to turn on each other. I want to make it clear right now . . . even if we are forced to face each other, or Gods forbid we are forced to hurt each other . . . at the end of the night we are a family, and we are there for each other."



Grey turns to Elf and her smile returns, she walks to her and lightly brushes her cheek with her hand.



Grey: "Elf, sweet sweet girl. I don't know if you're being brave, loyal, stupid, or some mixture of all three. But I do know that you came to me and asked to be in this match. I took your request to Ambros, and he has agreed to let you compete. So do your best, but also do your best to avoid members of the V.V.C. They are far beyond your abilities."



She moves next to Snow and hugs her.



Grey: "Snow, you are a lifelong friend, you are my tag team partner, and I know that you will protect our members as best you can. I do not want you to worry about us. I want you to protect the one you love. She will need you by her side."



She moves to Eagle and puts her hands on his shoulders before giving him a giant hug. She smiles up at him and plays with his beard.



Grey: "Just like when I was a child. Uncle I know it is safe to play with you and play with your beard, your heart is one full of kindness. I am grateful came to Father's aid - and that you have chosen to stay and fight. This fight will not be a pretty one, it will extend beyond the Pay Per View. It will be bloody, and intense. Because of this, we need you, but we need the version of you that I know lives within. You need to stay loyal to the light, but be as brutal as the light will allow."



Grey waves a hand, and again smiles a hearty smile.



Grey: "Our meeting is over, take your leave and do whatever you need to do to prepare for the match that is coming for us."



As everyone moves to leave Grey puts her hand on Blak's shoulder.



Grey: "Father I need to speak to you privately."



They both just stand waiting for the others to leave.



Grey: "Father, you know the Darkside better than anyone outside of the Darkside themselves. You know the threat they pose, even if their priority is to get back Joanne they are going to be a danger to everyone in the ring. I would honestly prefer if Snow and Elf were not involved, but I also know how much it would hurt both of them to keep them from being a part of it. I ask that you put aside your desire to exterminate the V.V.C. and protect our family. My sister, and the one she loves. And we have another problem. Genocide . . . the man thinks you are someone you are not. Well, more accurately he thinks you are someone you used to be. Show the people, show the locker room who you are. The Father, the protector, a CHAMPION for the side of the light. Focus on keeping yourself in the light, and Parliament will always be there to show you the value, and passion you felt you had lost."



Blak looks at his daughter and smiles. He pulls her in close and kisses her forehead, just like he did when she was a little girl. His smile fades, yet his eyes have a glint in them that only those who have known him prior to 2003 would recognize.



Blak: "Still the ever-optimistic angel aren't you Grey? I bet you are such a believer that you could WILL Santa Claus into existence. But for now, I shall leave so you can focus as we all should."



He kisses her forehead again before turning and leaving, he slips a piece of paper into her hand. When she opens it all it says is Pandora. Her face shows a mild bit of worry, but she shrugs it off . . . for now.



Grey: "Visionary Violence Club, you put on a show of being a mix of dirty vermin Street rats, and psychopathic supernatural monsters. The problem with this is, first you've done something NO-ONE has ever done before. You've brought my Father to the point where he has turned his back on the darkness, and upon coming to the light he has asked for help. He has asked for the help of his family, not their unflinching servitude. That was your first mistake. My Father was dangerous when he had the might of the darkness behind him, but he didn't need it. Now that he has embraced his true self, AND he has come to join with his family his might, force, and will shall be devastating. The second mistake you made, may even be more of a problem for you than the first . . . you pissed off Sephiroth. The stories my Father has told me, shake me to my very core. The man is darkness personified. Then we have people like the World Elite. I don't have much to say to any of you, except maybe this. Your saving grace, grab onto a member of the V.V.C. and fight them until one or both of you are lying bloody on the mat. Because I know Sephiroth and his people will not stop with the V.V.C., but they may be merciful to those who did their best to destroy the vile rot that has manifested on the roots of N.E.W. Parliament we want the destroy the V.V.C. and if you get in our way you will go to the hospital, it is that simple."



She exits the room and slowly moves down the hall. As any good leader should she slightly opens the door when she sees Snow preparing for this war. She is running the ropes, and doing rolls, flips, dives, and other such high-flyer moves. After a few minutes, she stops, leaves the ring, and grabs a water bottle drinking about a third of it in one shot.



Snow: "When worlds Collide, this is going to be a bloody, disgusting war. Truthfully I'd rather take Skye and disappear until after the show. But even she sees the importance of this event. She's not much more than a child she's afraid of everything, yet she is brave enough to stand up for what is right. God, I love that girl. So I must fight. I must fight to protect her. I must fight to protect my family, our beliefs, and our morals. In any other scenario, the morals of Parliament would demand that I deliver swift justice to Sephiroth and his followers."



Snow sets the water bottle down on a bench and then pulls her phone from her pocket. In the background, we can see Grey lightly close the door and continue on her way.



Snow: "But this is different. He didn't start this . . . he didn't strike the match, load the gun, nor did her fire the first shot. But when the V.V.C. took Joanne, they did all of those things and that left Sephiroth no choice but to come for the one that is his."



She once again climbs into the ring, climbs the ropes, and delivers a Corkscrew Dropkick landing perfectly on a mat in the center of the ring. She does a handspring back elbow then pauses.



Snow: "So the V.V.C. have many things to worry about, including myself and Skye. She may be a tiny little gummy bear, but she will do some damage before her time in this match is over."



Grey (Whispered voice.): "Careful Snow, using the child's name like that, could draw unwanted attention to her making your job of protecting her more difficult."



Snow turns back to the ropes, climbs them then thrusts her arms into the air in celebration. A moment later we are back with Grey still wandering the halls. Next, she comes upon Eagle. He is working out, Currently doing a series of Viking lunges. The difference between Viking lunges and more traditional lunges is that he is wearing full armor and has weights attached to his ankles and shoulders. He is counting them out.



Eagle: "97, 98, 99, 100."



He smiles and begins to remove the weights, then he removes the armor.



Eagle: "A personal best. This is very good. At When World's Collide the match calls for something special. This is a primal, animalistic, visceral instinct and awareness. V.V.C., Sephiroth's followers, and the rest of the N.E.W. roster might have two of these qualities, Sephiroth may even have all three, but something NONE of them have is family, trust, and true light embuing them with energy, and power like none other. Besides, who does primal, and visceral better than Vikings?"



Eagle takes a few steps forward, up to a salmon ladder. He takes the bar above his head and starts climbing. Once he reaches the top he pulls himself up until he is fully inverted, then just holds himself there.



Eagle (Somewhat stressed voice.): "This is how my band shows their strength and readiness for a battle. We just hold ourselves until we can hold no longer. Those who last the longest are deemed worthy and sent into war. Well, I need to prove my worth as When World's Collide is definitely a war."



Grey lets the door close ever so slowly, then moves further through the building. She eventually finds Elf. She is the only member of Parliament not preparing for this vicious battle. Instead, she is sitting staring at her bear, Balthazar. It is evident that she is afraid, but also that a part of her is proud of herself for being there to support the others.



Elf: "Balthazar, I am not going to win this match am I? I'm not going to escape unharmed. Honestly, I will probably be severely injured. Why can I not just keep my damned mouth shut?



Grey gasps slightly, then hoping not to be caught she ducks behind the door. When Elf looks towards the door to see who or what made the sound a rune of protection glows an icy blue on Balthazar's right eye. Before Elf can turn back the rune fades away completely.



Elf: "That's strange, I could have sworn I heard something. Balthazar, I'm so scared. How am I going to get through this? I guess I should train a little."



The tiny elf begins doing wind sprints, and suicides. Her game plan is obviously to run. Run hard, and fast, avoid the other people in the ring, even if it means avoiding her own family, this has become her family. In her sports bra when she turns around it is evident that the poor girl was abused as a child. She has burns and scars all over her back. Gret starts walking further down the hall.



Grey: "I swear if I ever find out who put those marks on that sweet girl, my Father's darkness will be nothing compared to what I unleash."



. . .



Meanwhile somewhere over the Panama Canal . . .



Blak: "She needs me to stay in the light, they all do. I am sure HE knows how much I will struggle with this, but the struggle is what I must do. Tonight, before When World's Collide I must ensure she is safe. She may be a witch, but she is MY WITCH. I will find out who did this to her, and when I do then struggle is not an option, suffering is the only option that will be left. Sephiroth, you ensured she'd be safe, but I moved her to my home. During this war, we can be allies, even friends, but trust me you know as well as I do that neither of us wants us to be enemies. The two of us as enemies is something I am not sure the modern world could survive a second time."



Blak shifts in his seat as the plane, a D.C.3. slowly comes down to the ground of a private airfield in Pandora. As he prepares to exit the plane he grins an unsettling grin.



Blak: "Then we have the idiots known simply as the V.V.C. Issac, I have already told you how I feel about your personal petting zoo. But to be honest, you do have a few big threats in your zoo. Baalz, you are a big man. You are a strong man. You are a fearless man. Do you know what the problem with someone like you is? They typically hold their allegiance to only one thing. MONEY."



Blak reaches behind him as he exits the plane. He pulls from it a large briefcase. and sets it on the ground.



Blak: "Twenty Million dollars, Baalz. It is all yours to turn from Issac and the poison he has been feeding you. No questions asked. As a matter of fact . . . to ANY member of the V.V.C. who turns their back on Issac, Merxy, and Dean I extend the same offer. This money was gained through illegal means, it should be used to set at least a few things right."



Blak turns towards a vehicle and slowly walks to it getting inside. Inside is a small man who looks at him with some degree of fear.



Blak: "Carlos, there is no need to fear I am a new man. I want you to officially make the treasury department aware of the rewards I have set in place. I am sure I couldn't take enough cash into the United States to cover everyone, so I am making an order here and now, that anyone who fulfills their end of my verbal contract may come here for payment."



The Hummer slowly comes to a stop after about half an hour. The door opens and Blak steps out. He enters the building and smiles at doctors and nurses. One of them walks up to him and motions for him to stop, he complies.



Nurse: "Mr. Knight, the woman you sent to us for care is down this hallway. Her brainwaves read normal, so we are completely lost as to what is keeping her in her coma."



Blak: "Thank you, take me to her."



They walk down a hall, and the nurse holds open a door for him. Before entering he removes his white jacket, his white hat, boots, and gloves.



Blak: "I know you never cared for the gimmicks, the masks we wear to entertain the people. So I will show you my respect. Tonight I am not here as the Stalker, I am not here as Blak, a member of Parliament. I am here as your friend Jonah Knight."



Jonah takes the woman's hand and holds it the way you would a loved one. A moment later his phone vibrates. He pulls it out, a text message. It says "No . . . for NOW, brother."



Jonah: " Well, I was hoping to have more time to spend with you but it looks as though I have to come up with a new plan."



He gets up and quickly leaves the entire hospital. He goes to the Hummer, gets in and it takes off towards the airport.



Blak: "Another family member down, this is not going well and we are only hours away from the show. He isn't easy to scare, so maybe commitments elsewhere are keeping him away . . . still, having a man of his size in the ring would have helped greatly."



The scene fades as Blak exits the Hummer at the airfield.

[Thantos Myssiah]

Thantos: Next week, we are in Greensboro, North Carolina and the World is at our feet. Suddenly, I have more Instagram followers than Paris and Kim Hilton combined! Reality TV comes at ME quickly! I got Married on the TV series Married at First Site, and became Mr. Lilith Malai …Stunned the World, and went viral countless times.

*Lilith walks out beside him. Her satin purple shirt is unbuttoned, body oiled, and gleaming, what a specimen*

Lilith: That’s right NEW! I could have been whatever, I wanted! Not like the rest of you wretches!!

*The crowd boos loudly*

Thantos: What-eva! What a waste of time, giving them our life story Lilith! They can’t comprehend, what happens to them day to day …let alone understand, the life of the likes of us.

Lilith: They were great days, though the college days. Home runs! Strike Outs! Triple Doubles! Mad Orgies!!

Thantos: We have the world at our feet!!

Lilith: Now, it’s in the palm of our hand! Just like this World Title!

Thantos: Ring the bell, and hand it over right now!

Lilith: The Red Devil was the beginning, next was the self-proclaimed “Ghost Rider” Darrick Kaine and his partner Byker Bytch!

Thantos: A self-proclaimed former Motorcycle Club leader, at that!!

Lilith: Once a junkie always a junkie. Once a loser …

*Lilith ponders her thoughts, the crowd hanging on every word, soaking in his and Lilith’s awesomeness*

Lilith: The Reapers! Yeah, your Fake WIFE and her Former Husband before him.

Thantos: Even the Sara “Lil Girl” Frosts!

Lilith: Oh, Wow! I forgot all about her …

*Thantos reflects for a few moments, before speaking*

Thanatos: There is quite the line up in front of you. I’m right up there in front. I could even be up in the top group, if it were not for who they want me to team with.

Lilith: NEW! You surround yourself with Mediocrity! You could say, you are Shrouded in it!

Thantos: Maybe you could be in the top echelon. Maybe, I mean …you did win a few matches, elsewhere …but then, what did you do after that?

*There is a long pause as Thantos tries to remember*

Lilith: NEW said, don’t bring your family into it, unless you want them to become a target.

Thantos: Did they, now? I guess, even a broken clock tells the right time …twice a day.

*Thantos pauses for a second, before continuing again*

Thantos: So you got past the first round. A one trick pony, is what I think you are! So, unless Bram is secretly married to CC, you got no chance!

Lilith: Zero! Nada! Want me to tell you what you are NEW? You are NOT the Best, wrestlers in the business!!

*The crowd gasps*

Thanatos: Best Of The Rest, Maybe! You are the top of the bottom, and the Bottom of the top!!

*Thantos pauses for a few moments, and then continues*

Thantos: If you are playing a sport, a game, and you are the best player on the team …your team loses. Every damn time. If you are the worst player on the team, your team will win most of the contests. That’s where you lie, in life, and in wrestling! You get on the box and rip a great like Brickheart for being a nutcase, then the next minute …you’re here on our screens having trances, pfft.

Lilith: We are, The Children Of The Damned!!

Thantos: We take out the Trash, and collect all the Cash! We make Stacks, and break Backs! I am the Ultimate Male Supreme! Every breathing Woman’s Wet Dream! A God Damn Wrestling Machine!!

*"Reigning In Blood” by Slayer hits and the scene fades, as Thantos and Lilith pose on the ramp-way*

Act 1: What Happened?

Voice Over: I'm not sure if I should be pissed off, or worried about what happened to my husband? Either way someone is goin' to have the shit kicked out of them!

The scene opens on the manor of the VVC. The early day had faded into late afternoon as Joanne sat in her room going through a few things that she had bought earlier. For some odd reason she had more freedom even if Krieger was with her. She sighs as she hears footfalls in the hall, but her lips curl into a smiles as she realizes that it was Krieger. A knock soon comes to the door.

Krieger: Joanne, may I enter?

Joanne: Sure.

Krieger enters in his tailor made white suit with silver trim.

Krieger: How are you feeling?

Joanne: I'm fine. Has there been anythin' from Seph or the others?

Krieger: It seems Seph took Uh Oh for some special training back home.

She turns and looks over her shoulder.

Joanne: What do you mean?

Krieger: Something about, wolves, a bear, and digging.

Joanne thinks about it for a minute as what little bit of color fades from her face.

Joanne: He buried Uh Oh alive?!

Krieger: I am not sure... I certainly hope not, I don't think Uh Oh would survive very long like that... no offense...

Joannes: Its the final part to join the darkside. Give me a phone!

Krieger hands her his phone.She dials and soon reaches Seph. On the other end a small tone sounds before she hears a very familiar voice.

Voice: Ahoy hoy?

Joanne: I am so upset at you right now!

Voice: Whoa, whoa, why loose your venom on me? I always admired that hot Italian blood of yours.

Joanne sighs and takes a deep breath.

Joanne: Really? Really? After what happened with Uh Oh! I can't even think straight right now!

Voice: Why? What happened with Uh-oh?

She clenches her fist so tight that a trickle of blood comes from her hand.

Voice: Was it the whole Sothren thing about the metal bat and lightning? Cause I already talked to both of them about that.

Her eyes go wide as she paces the room.

Joanne: Oh he is so DEAD! First him and then you!

Voice: Why, whatever for? I don't recall doing anything to hurt Uh-oh. Well not intentionally.

Joanne: You buried him alive! He could have died!

Voice: Nonsense. He is perfectly fine. I think he's making us a souffle right now.

Joanne: What? Some sort of evil, like bug infested, or blood filled souffle?!

Voice: N-no I believe it's just eggs and cheese, maybe some sausage if he's feeling saucy. Speaking of saucy the girls and I were talking last night and...

Joanne: Not interested right now! I know you did somethin' to him! I just know it!

Voice: Joanne, I would never do anything to upset you or hurt Uh-oh. I'm quite fond of him and he came to me for help really. I just helped him reach the next level.

Joanne: Why did he come to you for help?

Voice: I might have kidnapped him first... but the rest was all him

Joanne: You WHAT?

Voice: I can tell you are upset but rest assured he's fine. We've taken very good care of him. He's already one of us.

Joanne: Why does that not make me feel any better?

Voice: Alright, alright... settle down. I shall bring your noble knight post haste. Stacy?!

Stacy: Yes, sir?

Voice: Fetch Uh-oh for me, Joanne wants to talk to him.

Stacy: Yes, sir..

Joanne is hunched over the desk, as she drums her fingers on the desk.

Krieger: Everything okay?

She glares over at him with her eyes flashing red.

Voice: So miss me?

Joanne: Not right now!

Voice: You missed me...

Joanne: Not right now...

Voice: Ah here he is... It's for you, Ulysses.

Soon she hears an all to familiar voice on the other end.

Uh Oh: H..hello?

Joanne: Uh Oh are you alright?

Uh Oh: Joanne?!? Are you alright?

Joanne: I'm fine. They're treatin' me good. Why did you let him bury you alive?

Uh Oh: Well... I wasn't 100% conscious when that happened...

Joanne: Damnit. You don't know how much I miss you and worried about you. Is everyone treatin' you good? If not when I get back I'll have to beat them!

Uh Oh: Well the climbing out was the hardest challenge, but I been helping with the cooking so I can't complain, and the burns are healing nicely.

Joanne: Burns?

Uh Oh: I thought that if the wood was on fire it would be easier to break through...I forgot that besides the casket I was the next most flammable thing.

Joanne: Have the doctor look you over. I'm sure shell make sure you're alright. Just don't take anythin' that's in a tube.

Uh Oh: Okay, I'll be ready for When Worlds Collide. We're coming to free you in Greensboro.

Joanne: I know you will. Who's takin' care of the business while I'm here?

Uh Oh: ... I don't know... MY SOUFFLE! I left it to warm when Stacy grabbed me... I hope Reno or Rude took care of that...

Joanne: I'll let you go then... I miss you. I love you.

Uh Oh: I love you too... I'll see if Seph can find out who is running the business... Oh I don't know who hired Siri as a receptionist but she is awfully rude...

Joanne: I see. We'll deal with that later. I'll see you soon.

Uh Oh: Can't be soon enough. Here you go Seph.

Seph: There are you not satisfied now?

Joanne: I guess so... But I'm still not happy...

Seph: You know I'll always try to satisfy you. Please forgive.... my intentions were pure.

Joanne: Maybe... I'll see you soon. Just keep an eye on him.

Seph: Oh I will. And tell Krieger I said Hello. You'll need to pay him back for the phone.

Joanne: Right....

Seph: And do have them buy you some hair care products, my dear. Your looking a bit haggard.

Click. She looks at the phone before handing it back to Krieger.

Joanne: Thank you.

Krieger: No problem. They letting you get any training in or just trying to keep you out of their way?

Joanne: I've been in the trainin' room a few times already. I think I'm goin' to try and get some fresh air. I have a few thin's to think about.

Krieger: Do you need anyone to stay with you?

Joanne: For some odd reason they've given the run of the estate and the grounds. As long as I stay behind the walls I'm fine

Krieger nods.

Krieger: Very well, if you need me I'll be around

Joanne: I know. But I think I'll be alright.

Krieger: Ok stay safe, I'm going to train for a bit

Joanne: I will.

Joanne slips a pair of sandals on her feet and heads out onto the balcony as the scene fades to black.

The scene reopens on the vast grounds of the VVC manor. The night had started to come on, as the sun started to set. We see Joanne walking along the grounds.

Joanne: I hate the fact that I am stuck here while the others at home tryin' to free me. I know that they do everythin' that they can and I'll be with my sweet Uh Oh once again. But I know that this match isn't goin' to be an easy one. I've been in a few of these and managed to make it to a good spot before being put out. The VVC still believe that they are going to make it through this match unscathed but I'm afraid that all of you are backin' the wrong horse.Toa is just a mindless killin' machine. Nothin' I haven' seen or faced before. Genesis is a dog that you keep on a leash to try to prove that you guys are scary... Please I've seen scarier than him. Dean you are not the visionary that you think you are. I've seen guys like you come and go and trust me they think they are all high and mighty, until someone better comes along. You may have won a few matches but I'm afraid you're not walkin' out of this match with anythin'. The Darkside will take is rightfully ours and run wild while you sit and wonder what just happened. 

She looks back toward the manor and sees Krieger standing in front of the window of the training room. He looks down at her and waves. Joanne waves back before continuing on.

Joanne: Krieger, you are the only besides Uh Oh that has treated me as a friend. Seph and I were lovers long before I met either one of you, and I don't think you realize how deep my feelin's run with him. He was my first in every sense of the word. Uh Oh helped me when I needed someone in my other state of mind. I know you would have to but thin's were in play that I didn't even see. Krieger you will always be a dear friend to me, and you being here has made it bearable to be here. Just know in this match there are no friends and no allies, and if it comes down to you and I, I will give you a decent fight. Oni, I don't think you realize what kind of trouble you are in. The Darkside has big guys too and they will gladly face off against you.. Oh and we do have one thin' that most of you have forgotten... The Devil's daughter is here on earth. Have fun with that...

Joanne continues her walk around the grounds, passing by a few guards as does. They give her space and continue on their patrol.

Joanne: Baalzbul you are just an annoyin' piece of shit that thinks he can use magic to make creatures. Rene does that on the daily. I just hope you realize what you did. But then again, you are an idiot so that is a no. Deimos, Phobos and Asathroth... All of you have crossed the Darkside and now they are out for blood. The last time someone turned on the Darkside they were never seen again. And the same will happen to you, but I have a feelin' that it's goin' to be worse for all of you because of who Emily is. Merxy I have no clue why you get mixed up with these fools. You're better than that and I think you realize it to don't ya? 

She laughs as the sound of an owl is heard coming from somewhere in the forest.

Joanne: Genocide...   I'm not sure where to start with you. I've never heard of you but you seem to have a thin' with Stalker so I'll just keep my nose out of that one. If you were smart you would just walk away and deal with Stalker after this match is all over with. Thantos what in the hell are you talkin' about? Do you think that NEW is human? In the two promos that I watched you are talkin' to the company like its alive. Unless you are adressin' everyone... I mean that would make sense. But that's not what I see. You think you're comin' into this match and winnin' the big title when I know you're not. Tell me what have you even done in this company? Anythin'? I somehow doubt you'll last long in this match, and when you get thrown over I'll be laughin' my ass off. 

Joanne stops at one of the tall trees and stands under it for a moment watching the final rays of the sun set over the stone walls.

Joanne: Jenny, Faith, Hope I know that you want to fight, and I'm glad that you do. This match is not for the faint of heart. As for your friend tryin' to get me out of the contract, I am grateful for that. But this can't be done legally. Sometimes people just need to have the shit kicked out of them to get the message across. I just hope you know what you are gettin' yourselves into with this one. Eric, I know that I have stood in the ring against you more than once and I know that you can handle yourself. The VVC has wronged more than the Darkside and that is never good. They have hurt people in their wake and shown you disrespect in more ways than one. This will be the perfect match to get your revenge...

She smirks as she sees a black raven sitting on top of the wall, and felt better knowing he had eyes on her.

Joanne: As for you Hiro, you have done more than most have against the VVC. You have stood and fought against them without any concern for yourself. I'm impressed. I know that you will fight to the end to make it and get a title but I have to warn you that even your own lover, and partner isn't on your side in this one. Everyone is out for themselves... Includin' me. Next I have the wannbe losers from the Lord of the Rings. Do you really think I'm scared of you? Please... You're nothin' more than larpers on the weekend. Do you really think you're goin' to make it that far in this match against the Darkside? We have more to lose than you will ever know. I'm not even sure why you just randomly showed up for this one. Why don't you sit on the sidelines until there isn't so many in the ring already?  And Juste... I'm not sure where to start with you? Why are you chasin' after a girl that doesn't even know your name? Man find someone that is actually into you and show her a good time. Don't stalk her... That just makes you a creep. I know everyone wants a piece of the VVC, but you're just a follower now... And don't stand a chance. Sorry if it sounds like I'm doubtin' your ability, but you know it's true.

She extends her arm and the raven lands on it. Joanne pets the raven's head as it gently caws at her.

Joanne: Hello Morrigan. I know you miss me. But I'm alright and I'll be home soon enough. Ander my dear boy I know that you have felt the wrath of the VVC more than anyone. But I know that you will fight to defend you sister and that I don't expect any less. I will do everythin' to help you but just know even though we are family only one can walk away with the win. Dread it's good to see you back, and I know Denise and Necra are both pleased to see you. I know that you will fight with everythin' that you have for not only your family but the Darkside as well. This is not going to be an easy match but we will do whatever we must. Denise you have been loyal as a friend and are like a sister to me. You stand with us and for your husband which I admire. This match is goin' to test us all and I now we will stand together until there is a time that we can't. You've held a title for two years straight and couldn't be touched. This is our time to shine and there is nothin' they can do to stop us. Necra, you're like a daughter to me. I've watched you grow up, and become the woman you are today. You can get through this and get to the top with the family with you. No matter what happens fight until the end, and make sure you take some of the assholes of the VVC with you. Now... As for the two loves of my life...

Morrigan caws gently once again before flying off, leaving Joanne alone once again.

Joanne: Seph... You have been my friend, my love, my enemy, and my sire. This match is goin' to be one for the ages and I know how it's goin' to go. You will do whatever it takes to make it to the end, and no matter who you have to put out it doesn't matter. We are all family and when one wins we all win. I will not fight against you no matter what happens, or how they punish me. I'm not stupid. I've done that song and dance before and still have the scars from it as well. And my sweet Uh Oh. You have gone through so much with me, and I want to say I'm sorry that I couldn't be there to help you. As Molly I kept you safe and away from those that were willin' to cause harm to you. Now I still fight tooth and nail to keep us both safe. In this match I will stand with you and the others until I can't. I know you will do what you can and make us all proud. I love you and will see you soon.

She starts to head inside but stops and smiles.

Joanne: And to the rest of you that have not said anythin' yet... Stay out of this match unless you are willin' to be beaten into nothin'. See you soon and good luck, you're goin' to need it.

She turns and heads inside as the scene fades to black.

You know? You guys are bigger jokes than I thought. 250k huh?

Brian laughs knowing that this will bring more heat. As the scene opens. Brian is seen at his gym. He is standing outside the ring dripping in sweat. He has been training harder than he ever has in his entire career. He is in his prime and is now showing it. Oblivion has arrived and putting people on notice is his first priority. Starting with the VVC.

Dean, since when have you became any sort of threat? The only reason you have any sort of power is because you have some other losers running with you. Just like you done in UHW with Curtis Mitchell, another loser that is as worthless as a cum stain on a rug. You’re a joke. Nowhere near on my level. Lance and Jay’s either. Your wanting to be a Ric Flair, Triple H knock off. I get it. Or are you a NOW rip off trying to be like Hogan? Issac Booth, 250k? Your that scared to come see me yourself one on one, that you put a bounty on my head? Son, get in line cause that goes down the street and around the corner. I have bigger and badder people looking to get at me. Go to UHW and maybe you can get someone to try and take that bounty there. Paige Lewis is the biggest threat there. Now here? There isn’t anyone other than my own team mates and Eric’s camp that stands a chance at beating me. That’s facts. At the end kf the day there are a few things certain. 1, VVC you’re the ones with targets on your back. And 2, it boils down this. Just because you have numbers doesn’t make you dangerous, see Dean you are what we call in the industry as a stepping stone. You claim to be all that. That means in every company you are on top. Let’s take a walk down memory road shall we? NCW where I first met you. You wasn’t a champion. You weren’t a threat, more like a pit bulls tug of war toy. Someone we shook around and stepped up to the BBD. See Dean, in the past you might have been taken seriously. Maybe once upon a time you were a house hold name. But in NCW, I held the Tag Titles till they shut down. SCW where you went along with a lot of other, you were a jobber to the stars. Then UHW when you came along.

He pauses. Looking at the camera, growing louder.

What happened in UHW? You team with Curtis and I’ll leave it at this. His back must hurt cause he has been carrying you around on his shoulders. Because any relevance you have is due to Curtis not. Not because of anything you have done. Just like here in NEW. You get a couple goons who is dumb enough to team with you. And now your nuts dropped. Now you think you have a chance. Now let’s take a look at myself. Everywhere I have stepped. I been on top of the food chain. A Champion. Both loved and hated at the same damn time. Cause I’ve been a fighting and defending champion. I just defended the Tag Titles in UHW winning as usual. Unlike you or anyone else you been running with anywhere else you been. And now you suddenly think cause you have . Curtis wasn’t enough so you constantly leave him hanging which makes the both of you look worse and now.

He pauses knowing he is passing off all of VVC.

Question for all of VVC. I’m damn sure your all in a different company. Where is your Titles? Me? I know all the Titles I’ve gained in other places means shit here. Other than I am what I advertise. A fucking Champion and here I am. Looking at getting all 3 singles Titles in one fatal swoop. All I’ve done since I have gotten here is win. You guys make noise, but now I have all of your attention. For the first time you’re a target and you don’t like it. Issac, 250k isn’t Jack shit. If we are putting bounties on people. I have 500k for the each of the VVC that gets eliminated out of this match.

He gets silent for a moment.

Now on to the match. I wasted enough time on q bunch of no bodies that in a few years won’t be remembered. They are not like the Empire that’s in the history books. We will be remembered for the rest of time. But when it comes to these sorts of matches, we’ll let’s just say I make history. NCW done this kind of match. And I was the 1st entry. I was the one that lasted the longest. That’s history. Dean, where were you? Oh you got eliminated so fast you didn’t make a dent. You made false claims little man. You always miss. You haven’t made any noise worth my time. But when I landed in NEW. I made you the mark along with you band of merry men. Now on to Leon Dread, you came in with a short little speech about praying. Praying for what? You to get better mic skills? Praying that you get a chance at standing across from me and winning? Or are you praying that I don’t show up and show out? I never bitch or cry about a loss. No matter who you are that winning streak comes to a stop. Someone is always bad night. Hell Jenny Kay just had one when I toppled her for my last win. Just like Mira, any other night they might have defeated me. Key word. Might.

He pauses as Lance comes up to Brian.

Lance: Here big guy. Stay hydrated. We have a long day.

Jay: Lets go again Brother.

Lance slides back in. Brian looks deep in the camera.

I’m not gonna sit here and run down the entire list and address everyone individually. This is the best way to say this. Eric you wanna right your losses to me. That line runs around the block too. It doesn’t matter who is in this match. I’ve set records for how long I lasted being the very first one in the ring. This time my number is 31. So that means half the entrants will be already in and half that gone. I have 29 more coming after me. My name is Brian Fucking Kennedy for a reason. You all thought I was alone. Well I’m not and neither are my Brothers. One of us will walk out the World Champion. Either way I will be holding two of the other singles Titles and if by some slim chance. And I mean slim,

He gets closers to the camera as another person walks in. But the camera can’t catch who it is.

And I mean slim, keep that belt warm for me. I’ll be there to collect it after I get these other two. I always do what’s good for business and with Oblivion around business is about to pick up. I plan on winning the NEW World Title. And I really don’t see very many people on this roster that can even attempt to stop me. Over half of you have already lost. And not just cause your losers. It cause your just not on my level. And the other half, well I just need to put em in a line and knock em down.

He backs away a bit and smirks.

But don’t take it personal. It’s just good business.

With that said Brian turns and runs towards the ring with the 3 other men in there training and slides in. The scene fades to a BK logo.
