A bright and early morning in the small town of Clovis, New Mexico. The place where Angel last saw his brother, Adan, alive.
"Adan. Eight years ago you were set free by our Lord. He gave you a chance to live with him in Heaven and you took it. While I do miss you greatly, I am also happy. I know it wasn't easy trying to be a parent, but you did a great job. I love you so much Adan."
Angel kneels down and a tombstone is seen that reads:
"Adan Herrera Jr.
July 14th, 1984-May 15, 2001
Finally Free"
Angel picks up a single rose from the ground next to him. He rubs it against his mask where is lips areas if to kiss it and sets it next to the tombstone.
"You are free my Brother. I hope to see you again one day. I know we will."
Later that night, Angel is sound asleep in his bed. A loud noise is heard inside his hotel bathroom. He jumps out of his bed and looks at the door. He goes and opens it. Nothing. He sighs and turns around and his heart sinks. He was staring at himself sleeping. Surely he must be dreaming. Another crash sends him turning back around towards the bathroom. He nearly faints. Standing in front of him is Adan.
"Adan...?" He whispers. "Is that you...?"
Adan looks at him. He smiles a bit and nods. Then they both rush and hug.
"How is this possible?"
"You entered the spirit world but that's not important. What is important though is that you need my help."
"Your help with what?"
"You're career. I have been following you and your matches. Triple threat win over Kypto and Scott Williams, a loss verse Darren Bull, teaming with the tag champs and you're mentor, and the rest. But you have never competed in a Relay Match before. If you lose, you are out of the mentorship. There is a lot on the line."
Angel sits on his bed. The thought of losing the program makes him disoriented. Adan comes over and sits next to him. He puts his arm over his little brother and tries to comfort him.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to be so blunt."
"No, no. It's fine. I should have be thinking this all along. I need to be more focused on the prize."
"Not just the prize. You need to find out who you are as a wrestler. Look at your mentor Titus. He is pretty much the Superhero of WZCW. He has been here since day one. He is a veteran. He knows the ups and downs. He knows the ring like the back of his hand."
Adan stands up and goes leans against the wall in front of Angel.
"You have the chance of a life-time right now, brother. You have the chance to make something of the Herrera name. Make something of Angel. Only one man can win this thing."
"You are right like usual, Adan."
Adan smiles at his brother.
"I think it's time for you to rest. I'll still be around but you can only enter the spirit world when you sleep. So if you need me, you know how to get in touch."
Angel springs awake, panting trying to catch his breath. He gets sad as he realizes that he had just been dreaming. He shakes his head. What a horrible dream. Dreams are suppose to be peaceful. That made him upset. He was just a victim of the worst nightmare ever.
A day goes by and Angel is out for an afternoon jog. The days are getting closer until Apocalypse and he can start to feel his nerves kicking in. All of a sudden, a branch breaks from a tree over him and falls, smashing into his head, leaving Angel unconscious.
"Angel. Angel it's me wake up."
Angel moves a finger and starts to come through.
"Angel? Thank God you are awake."
"Am I dead?" He says in a calm but scared voice.
Chuckling "No. You are just knocked out, but you are fine."
"I thought the other night was a dream."
"It is kind of like a dream. You can only see enter the spirt world when you are asleep. It's like I'm here but not at the same time. None of this will ever seem real. But I'm glad you are here. You need to listen to what I have to say. You're opponents are not push-overs. They are strong, quick, and smart. All great competitors. And all of them have great mentors as well. Arashi is really fast in the ring. Watch out for him. He probably has a lot of hatred for what Isabella Stone did to him. He has revenge on his mind. Instead, focus on Scott Williams. He seems to be weakest of the bunch. And don't even worry about the rest of your opponents. What you need to do is pick your spots. You need to hit people from behind. You need to...."
"Hold your tongue, Adan. I don't attack anyone from behind. Whether or not they would do the same to me is not of importance. I won't ever do that to another person."
"I know that you have your morals and whatnot but you need to focus on winning."
"I don't need to cheat to win. I can do anything I put my mind to. And that includes winning this Relay Match."
"I don't doubt your skills Angel, but I think you need the edge. Think about what this win can do for the orphanage."
"I can get the money without cheating. I have done without it my whole life. I've done without it my whole career. And I can do without it the rest of my life too."
"You were always stubborn. I think it's time you go back brother. I'll be around if you need me."
With that being said Adan disappears and Angel wakes up on the side of the road. It's weird. He hasn't seen his brother in years but he gets the feeling like him being back is unnatural. It's not right. While he is happy his brother is back, he won't take the advice and cheat. That's not what Titus would want. That's not what the fans would want. That's not what he wants. And more importantly; that's not what God would want.
