[Lee]

We see Becky Serra, Stacey Madison, Johnny Klamor and Leon Kensworth all stood in a corridor. Johnny is holding an envelope. There are a mix of people walking past, most seem middle aged and all are smartly dressed.

Stacey I'm not doing it, it seems like a complete load of rubbish.

Johnny I have no need to do it, nor do I want to do it.

Becky The entire idea scares me, I'm not doing it

Leon Whoa, no way, no way! What if I'm told something I don't like?

Stacey You're going

Becky Yeah Leon can go

Johnny That's you son

Leon Ahh darn it.

Leon grabs the envelope and walks reluctantly up the corridor. He passes a sign saying “Passing over, with Steven Manna” the scene cuts.

We reopen to a room with audience seats sat in an oval shape and there's a lit up floor bright white in the middle. Aside from that the room is black, save for the lighting on the audience.

The lights go off as some music plays, then you hear a voice over.

“In a land where many are dead, one man stood up, one man said I can talk to the dead, many people thought he was crazy, and most assume he still is, until one day he found a magical ouija board, now his critics are few and far between. Now ladies and gentlemen please welcome Steven Manna!”

The crowd all stand on their feet cheering as a man with a half face mask on, ala the phantom of the opera, comes out. He is holding a ouija board above his head almost like Link holds an item in the Legend of Zelda games. The crowd cheer again, as he puts the ouija board down on the table. The lights go back on the audience.

Manna I'm looking for someone who has passed

There are various shouts from the crowd already as Manna points to one lady.

Manna You have someone passed, his name is John?

Lady Well no, his best friend was called John though

Manna It was just a test to see if you were paying attention, you see John is the best friend of James or David.

Lady Daniel? My husband was called Daniel, he knew someone called James, David and a John. WOW you are a genius.

Manna It isn't me, the power comes from...

All lights go off as a spotlight shines on the Ouija board

Manna THE OUIJA!

The lights come back up

Manna Now Daniel wants you to know that he's enjoying himself so much, he met some girl called Sarah and they're having fun hanging out. Do you know a Sarah?

Lady Sarah was, Sarah was....Daniels first wife!

The lady runs off screaming.

Manna Another happy customer thanks to...

All lights go off again as the spotlight shines on the Ouija board

Manna THE OUIJA!

The lights come back up

Manna Before I carry on with the readings, it's the time of the show where I choose someone at 100% random to come and have a private reading with me after the show. Remember folks this is a 100% random randomness selection process. The ticket is number...4. Who has ticket four?

There is a lot of hustle bustle, Leon Kensworth puts up his hand.

Manna Good good, Leon here is out winner. He shall interview me after the show!

Leon But how did you know my name?

Manna THE OUIJA!

The crowd cheer loud at this

Manna Now I'm looking for a Jo...

The scene cuts as we open back to a room, Manna on one side, Leon on the other side both sat down, there is a table sat in the middle with the ouija on it.

Leon I want to ask one question just so I know what you say is true.

Manna Go forth entitled one, ask what you will.

Leon What is my biggest fear?

Manna moves his hand to the Ouija board...First the letter V goes, then E, then N, then G, then E, then A, then N, then C, then E.

Leon goes white as a sheet.

Leon Oh...my...

Manna starts laughing out loud

Leon What are you laughing at? This isn't funny!

Manna takes his mask off to reveal it's actually Titus.

Titus You honestly thing Ouija's work? I asked my all pal Manna if I could pretend to be him for a show to show how easy it is to manipulate someone in this sense, he's retiring anyways so said go ahead.

Leon Why would you go out of your way to do that?

Titus Ty Burna, for too long he's received words from the Ouija board, everything he does is down to that thing. That's pretty messed up if you ask me, his sub concious dictating what he should do, and people say I'm the crazy one!

Leon So we know you're facing Ty this week on Meltdown, how do you feel about this match?

Titus It's interesting to note Leon, that to my knowledge this is the first time me and Tyrone have had a one on one match, we've faced up a few times in tag matches and in Lethal Lottery. I am excited, however, to see how things go in this match against Tyson, the man has skill in the ring, that's obvious by his Mayhem and EurAsian days, but can he pull it off? I wouldn't be cancelling me out just yet.

Leon But you've hardly been on form since the unification, how can you assure you're going to win?

Titus There's no assumptions in any match, that's something I've been working on recently, that if any assumption is to be made, it's not that you will WIN but rather you will get BEAT. My logic is if I know I'm gong to win, I loosen up and generally do something silly costing me the match. There are plenty of examples of that in my past, yet when there's even a doubt I will win I pull the stops. Look at Lethal Lottery, look at me v Everest, look at the title unification, the odds were very much against me and no one had me for a win, yet I pulled the stops out.

Leon So what about the unholy alliance that Ty and Vengeance have going on?

Titus A very weird situation, there are four of them in this alliance with Tarja and Serafina also involved, you have to look at the actual dynamics. Firstly anyone knows that these two ladies want their men to do the best, do you think Tarja will let Serafina get away with Tyler being number one of the two? Do you think Serafina will let Tarja get away with Vengeance being number one? No way! Do you think Vengeance will let Tymothy be number one? Or Tyrell letting Vengeance being number one? NO they're all in it for themselves at the end of the day, they may put on a front, but I know that Vengeance prefers to act alone, he doesn't need Tybalt to do his dirty work.

Leon So what about your title match at Apocalypse? What would you say on that?

Titus Simply put, I am frustrated with the belt, everything about it. The Elite X I made mine, the Oscars I made mine, my best in competition award aged 9 for the science fair, that award was mine, yet for some reason I haven't been able to connect to the World title that, in turn this is leading me to a new level of frustration. That being said, I will think about that after Meltdown, before hand I need to show TyrannosaurusRex how a champion operates!

The camera cuts to black.

 

[Ty Burna]

The camera feed slowly fades into the scene. The camera is at street level showing black leather boots walking briskly down a dirty sidewalk. Crumbling brick buildings can be seen in the background as the camera slowly pans out and moves up, revealing the person in the leather boots to be Stacey. Her blond hair is tied back and she looks around nervously at the decaying neighborhood. The clicking of the heels on her boots echo through the quiet streets, her breathing quickening as he makes her way around a corner. The white of eyes can be seen around shadowed alleys, steam slowly rising up from manholes in the road.

Stacey: Why did I agree to take on this assignment again? I could have just interviewed some regular wrestler like Jordan Lights and stayed at the arena.

The streetlight above her goes out, leaving her in an even more dimmed light. A shadowed figure makes it's way behind her, another more lithe figure joins the other one behind her.

Ty: It's good to see you found your way down here Stacey. I was worried you would get lost or fed to the streets before reaching our meeting place.

Stacey spins around quickly. The streetlight resumes power, revealing Ty dressed in a black leather coat with his hair tied back. Serafina stands next to him, wearing a pair of tight leather pants and a leather jacket herself. Her typical piece of rope hangs across her shoulders, her arms stretching it out. Stacey narrow her eyes at the two before speaking.

Stacey: An escort would have been appreciated, but whatever. Now pray tell me why you wanted us to meet in this part of Keystone. There are so many nicer places we could have met. Safer places too.

She shudders as she looks over her shoulder, noticing a few street urchins wandering across the street. They look over at Stacey for a moment before making their way down the street again.

Ty: Exactly why I wanted this interview here Stacey. Come.

Ty motions for Stacey follow and the three begin walking down the sidewalk again. Stacey constantly looks back at Serafina, though Serafina seems to be more alert at her surrounds rather than Stacey.

Ty: You see Stacey, this is the part of Keystone City that Titus has constantly failed to mention, or even allow fans of WZCW to see. He only wants you to see the glamorous and wealthy side. I wanted to show everyone the part of Keystone City that has been neglected by him. The part that even his delusional superhero persona was too afraid to travel to.

Stacey: Red Mask, from what I understand, made a big difference here in the city Ty. You can't honestly believe him to fix all the city's problems.

Ty: But did he try to Stacey? No, he left the people here to rot with no hope and bleakness in every day they exist. These are the exact type of people I struggled with Stacey, the people that would do anything short of maiming their own children just to eat. You struggled to survive, or you died. There were no alternatives. What do you think the people think of the great hero Red Mask, or also known as the glitzy and glamorous actor Titus? Let me show you.

Ty quickly turns into a crowded alley. A dozen or so homeless sit against the brick walls, gloom can be seen in their eyes and many seem to be in dire health. Ty walks up to a homeless man staring off into the distance.

Ty: Sir, what have you done to get here?

The homeless man grunts for a moment before clearing his throat to speak.

Man: I did nothin to deserve this. I never had a chance. While those other folks in the rich part of town eat lobster dinners, I fight just to eat a leftover biscuit.

Ty: And what do you think of this supposed hero Red Mask also known as Titus?

The man's eyes suddenly light up with anger and throws the forty ounce bottle in his hand across the alley. It shatters and sends glass flying.

Man: Good fer nothin actor. He's nothing more than an actor looking for the admiration of them rich folk.

Ty nods and straightens back up, turning towards Stacey.

Ty: You see what I mean Stacey? He is nothing to these people. He is a straw man that stands for everything that holds them down in this world. Their plight is the plight I shared growing up.

Serafina: We walked through streets as bad as this, never asking for a handout. We scratched and clawed for everything we had, a fate cruelly forced upon us from the get go.

Stacey: So what does this have to do with your match with Titus at Meltdown then Ty?

Ty laughs loudly as he reaches into his jacket and pulls out a twenty dollar bill. He hands it to the homeless man he spoke to and begins walking again. The camera stays focused on the homeless men in the alley, as they all suddenly surround the man. A brawl ensues over the twenty dollar bill.

Ty: Quite more than you expect Stacey. While Titus has dined with the famous fools who believe that their lives are more important those in these streets, I fought and continue to fight for my existence. I am hardened to adversity, and just like I did to Titus and Showtime last week, I will run right through anything blocking my path. Titus meanwhile tries to duck his hardships. Why do you think he became an actor? Why do you think he tried his hand at being hero? Because his reality was too much for him to bear. He has to create these characters to hide his own weaknesses and insecurities. I see through it all though Stacey. I see that he is but a feeble man trying to hold onto the glory before it is torn asunder from his ego.

Ty stops in the middle of the sidewalk, as do the two women alongside him. A muffled and quiet cry can be hear down the street.

Ty: Allow me to show you how easy it is to gain the people's adulation. Comedy and saving non lethal situations may have gained the people's approval now, but they are finicky, as soon as someone better appears they will flock to his words and actions.

Ty walks briskly to where the cry was heard. He looks down the alley to see a young woman against a brick wall, her clothes slightly torn and tears streaming down her eyes. Three men surround her, sick and twisted looks crawling across their faces. Ty walks between the three men.

Ty: It's a shame you three must take advantage of a woman such as this.

Man 1: Who the hell are you?

Man 2: Get the hell out of here, unless you know what's good for you freak!

The three men turn towards Ty and begin attacking him. Ty dispatches two of the men with right hands, turning towards the third man and knocking him hard into the brick wall behind him with the Consecrated Banishment. The woman cowers in fear as Ty approaches her.

Woman: Don't hurt me please!

Ty: My dear, I just saved you from these three men, and you still fear me? I am not one to do such a thing. Now run home quickly.

Woman: Who are you?

Ty: My name is Tyrone Blades my dear. If you must, spread the name of your savior to all you know.

The woman nods and quickly runs off. Ty cackles loudly as Serafina and Stacey walk towards him.

Ty: And just like that, the seeds have been sewn for a new savior of Keystone City, a true hero for the people. Only they don't realize their savior will lead them down the path to destruction and pain.

Stacey: You are sick Ty. You bring me here just to show you attempt kill Titus' credibility in his own town?

Ty: No Stacey, I will kill Titus' credibility as WZCW Champion at Meltdown. What I have shown here is simply that his heroic accomplishments mean nothing. He can save every bank in Keystone City for all I give a damn. I saved a woman from a fate that no one deserves. He helps the corporate world and their corrupt leaders, while I help the people. Do you not see it? I am the one that should be praised, not the corporate lapdog Titus.

Stacey: Fine, I want out of here. But not before you answer one last question. What of your match at Apocalypse with Showtime Cougar?

Ty laughs as Serafina leans against him. He puts his arm around her as he looks intensely at Stacey.

Ty: Showtime is just like Titus, pining and parading around for the people's approval. They are one in the same. While they play for the crowd, I prepare my plans to crush all that they hold high like a god. Soon though, they will both bow down to the Ouija's dominance, and it's Champion will hold the WZCW World Title high above their whimpering grasps.

At that the streetlights all go out and Ty's laughing begins echoing throughout the streets. Silence soon follows as the lights come back up, showing Stacey standing on a corner by herself.

Stacey: Wait....where am I? You can't leave me here!

The feed cuts out.
