The camera cuts to Ty and Serafina sitting atop a rather tall tower on the outskirts of a city. Serafina quietly hums to herself as Ty stares off into space, the WZCW World Title resting comfortably on his shoulder. The wind picks up lightly and Ty's hair moves with the breeze. Serafina looks up at Ty and speaks softly.
Serafina: So we've returned home Master, why?
Ty: It has been so long Serafina, when we were innocent children with not a care in the world. Now we are corrupt and wanting nothing more than the greed that leads us to such corruption.
Serafina: It was so long ago Ty, why do you hold onto the past like this? Isn't it time to move on?
Ty: This is where I became who I am Serafina. No matter how much we try to run or forget, this city will ultimately be what defines us. We cannot let go the actions and the events that brought us to where we are today. I think it's time I paid a visit to where it began, and get the perspective I need for All or Nothing.
Ty stands up and stares off into the city once more as clouds begin moving in over the moon. Serafina looks up at him and sighs.
Serafina: Please hurry back to me Master.
Ty nods and the scene cuts to black.
The scene reopens to a blackened room with the exception of a lone light hovering over a dark oak chair. The camera moves from behind the chair to the side, revealing a red carpet rolled out up to the chair. The camera looks up and reveals Ty Burna sitting in said chair, his leg crossed and his head resting on his hand. The WZCW World Championship sits in his lap as he stares out into the emptly blackness.
Ty: The old adage says that it's much more difficult staying on top then it is getting there. It has proven true for my previous two predecessors who have held this prestigious belt before me. Titus and Vengeance both failed to secure this title after earning it in grand fashion, and thus they are now out of WZCW. Do you know what the common thread between those two are? It was because of me that they no longer carry this belt. It was no secret that the title was rightfully mine for the taking only I needed to play the correct hand to reach this goal. I believed that siding with Vengeance would get me closer to this, only for Vengeance to take my opportunity away. It was my hand that dealt Titus the fatal blow in his loss to Vengeance, and the blood on my hands shows that I was the one to end the man known as Vengeance. And so it goes, now we have a new challenger to the throne, a man with no history with me or anyone I have been involved in the past year.
Ty gets up and begins walking down the red carpet, the hovering light following behind him. Smoke begins rising from the floor and swirls around him as he continues walking. His head is lowered to the ground and he drapes the WZCW World Title across his shoulder.
Ty: You ask why this is important? Why do I care that Gordito has nothing to do with Vengeance, Titus, or even Showtime? I have concern because the last few months have been fueled by personal vendettas and the adrenaline that has given me the ability to rise above it all and claim this ultimate prize on my shoulder. Now, I have nothing but the satisfaction to inflict the suffering that will become upon Gordito, and the threat to take away what I fought so hard to achieve. You won the Gold Rush Tournament Gordito, for that I will applaud your success, but luck was on your side because of Myles' issues with Big Dave. Without that you would have been fighting for the Mayhem Title still. Be thankful for whatever higher power was looking out for you that evening, because it will not be with you at All or Nothing.
Ty continues walking the seemingly endless carpet, and the smoke continues to swirl around him, slowly taking the form of various faces, some are recognizable, most are not however. Ty raises his head, revealing his eyes glowing red.
Ty: Understand this Gordito, while the fans cheer for me and I have somehow won them over, I will not show mercy to you. I did not become a cheerful man overnight with a heart of gold. I am not a hero who will show compassion to the weak. It is the weak that I have conquered, and it will be no different when I step over your broken body. Or should I be concerned for your safety? Should I become a gentle champion, one that goes out of his way to make things right in this world? Should I become what Titus was and befriend all that cross my path and become a righteous and pious soul? If the fans continue to respect my dominance and applaud me or they turn on me for breaking you, it matters not. I am not the one they should look up to as a role model, or even as a champion of the people. My intentions are strictly my own and the blood spilled path behind me is not to appease an audience.
Ty smirks and stifles a laugh as he suddenly stops and brushes his hair back. One billow of smoke takes a startling grasp at the WZCW World Title, but it merely disperses around it. Ty takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.
Ty: You have been the darling of WZCW these last few weeks Gordito, everyone has sung your praises for defeating well known names that in all likelihood would have received a title shot before you did. They hope and pray that you somehow defeat me, they say that they would love to see you as champion, but do you know why that is Gordito? Do you believe these people have the best intentions for you? No, in fact they simply know they cannot defeat me nor have the fortitude to even attempt it. So they pat your back, on the chance that you are victorious so they can stab it immediately. They see you as the easy path Gordito, someone to be trampled over the moment you open that gate up. And yet through all the hype of your victories Gordito, everyone has forgotten about me. They have all forgotten just exactly how dangerous I am, and in some ways you have forgotten as well. I have yet to lose since winning this title, and at All or Nothing it will be just the same. Immediately after, the phantom claims to my title will continue, the desperate grasps for glory at my expense will expedite, and the clamoring of a new challenger will overshadow my work.
Ty opens his eyes again and begins walking. More of the smoke lashes out towards the WZCW World Title as it spirals closer around Ty. His voice slowly deepens as he continues speaking.
Ty: It is nothing but a cycle Gordito, and you are just a pawn in the fate the Ouija has spelled out for us all. It matters not what desperation or confidence you show, ultimately the victory will be mine. And as you walk back to the locker room, your soul crushed and your mind spinning out of control, you will realize that it was not your time. I hope then that the respect I deserve washes upon you, and you fight harder to become better than what you are now. Our discussion the other night gave you the needed boost to defeat Phoenix and lay claim to a shot at me, but you are far from my level Gordito, and once I prove again at All or Nothing that I cannot be stopped, then perhaps the doubters and the outcries will be silenced for good. At the same time, this title is far more than just to prove I am the best in WZCW, it is bait for the souls that I have yet to conquer, those that I have yet to break, and those that will submit to my will just as you will my unfortunate friend. I am the one that controls it all, the strings that you dangle upon will be snipped and you will crumble to the ground.
Ty suddenly begins laughing maniacally as the smoke completely surrounds him, the shape of hands and claws forming and continually grabbing at the World Title. Ty looks amused as he slides the title off his shoulder and hoists it into the air. The hands and claws try desperately to reach for it as it rises up.
Ty: But through it all, it matters not who tries to take this from me. Whether it is you Gordito, the Constantine's of this world, or if Vengeance himself returns to face me once more, I will cast them all aside, one by one until there is no one left to challenge me. It all starts with you Gordito, you will be the first block to fall on the next phase of my conquest of WZCW. I am the World Champion yes, but I do not have the respect that I rightfully deserve, nor have I crushed everyone in my path.
Ty lowers the title down and raises his other hand, and the smoke disperses quickly from him. He gazes forward as wailing cries start all around him.
Ty: Gordito, my nightmare has been never ending. I have gone from broken homes, to living in the streets and I have endured suffering unlike you have ever dreamed of. In essence, I have lived in my own hell my whole life, and I will be damned if I allow you to take the one possession that I have gone to war for.
Ty reaches the end of the carpet and stops. At the end of the carpet hovers the smoke from earlier, now taking the form of various people. One resembles Showtime while two others take the form of Titus and the other the form of Drake Callahan. Finally standing in front of all them is a form of Vengeance. Ty stares the figures down before speaking once more.
Ty: And yet it seems the ghosts of my past continue to haunt me, forever reminding me of what I've done to reach this point in my life. They remind me of the sins I have cast, the ones that are never forgiven. At All or Nothing Gordito perhaps I will cast another sin, and it will be the force necessary for your downfall Gordito, and it will be necessary to continue my reign as the King of Darkness. A dark reign has begun Gordito, you are nothing more than a victim standing in the way of my continuing glory.
Ty walks past the smoke figures and they dissipate once more. Ty stops and places his hand forward when a billow of smoke brushes past Ty, causing him to turn his head and look. He gets a glimpse of the figure before the black around him shatters and reveals a room nearly engulfed completely in flames.
Ty: While one sin is washed away with vindication, another will never be pardoned, regardless of a lifetime of remorse. Let it be known Gordito, I am walking out of All or Nothing with everything I want, the WZCW World Title, and the pleasure knowing I took everything you could muster, your hope and dream of being World Champion, and crushing it within my grasp.
The flames quickly engulf Ty and the scene suddenly fades to black, and Ty can be heard whispering.
Ty: Thus it is written, so shall it come to pass.
The feed cuts out.
