The scene opens backstage at Ascension 27; Big Dave is in his locker room watching Titus being in the ring with Everest. Dave is staring contently at the screen as Titus reveals he has a contract and is officially back in the WZCW. Dave slowly takes deep breaths but seemingly cant keep his eyes off the screen. His sister Dani emerges from the door into the locker room.
Dave, youre not going to believe
She stops to notice Dave staring at the screen, realising that he knows the events that have just occurred.
Dave?
He still keeps staring at the screen.
Dave?
Im fine!
Fine?
Dave uncrosses his arms, looks at Dani and smirks for a moment, he turns to go to his bag, only in a sudden burst of rage he punches a locker with full might while letting out an enraging scream. Dani wants to consult with him, but fears a stray right hand.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! TITUS
TITUS IS BACK IN THIS COMPANY?! THE STIPULATIONS STATED THAT IF HE LOST, HE WOULD RETIRE!!!
Dave, I
DONT!
He inhales deeply before resuming.
If Titus thinks he can rejoin this company with ease, Im going to send him back out the same way he left!
Dave is about to head off but Dani stands in the way of the door, preventing him to pass through.
Out of my way Dani! I mean it! If you dont let me pass I will
Dani then suddenly slaps the taste out of Daves mouth. He looks at her directly in the eyes and she responds accordingly.
Look! Forget about Titus...hes old news! Focusing on him is not the task at hand! You just got your place in the King For A Day and you are now set! If you can contain your anger until then, the other competitors stand no chance! Nothing can come between you and your anger when locked inside that cage. But now, lets get out of here and forget about all this, well focus on whats to come when know thing, ok? Ok?
Fine!
Ok, lets get going!
Dani goes to grab her stuff as the camera fades out to them leaving the room.
-----------------------
A few days later Dave and Dani are being driven to one of the House Shows, its very early in the morning; the only sights are the tech guys bringing all the tech items from the trucks into the building. Once they park up, they leave the car and head straight into the building, Dave leading with an intention while Dani behind him.
Why are we here? Youre not even scheduled to be here.
Something I have to do.
What?
Dave enters the empty arena and sees it right before him, the ring, standing in isolation in the centre of the arena. Dave stares at it with intention and heads straight to it, he climbs in and stands around, feeling the energy of the ring consuming him.
Dave, is this necessary? You need to train and have some words for your match against Baez.
Dont see what Im doing Dani? I am training for him.
How?
By putting myself in the place he had the confidence to speak against me when we last faced off.
Couldnt you have waited until Meltdown rolled by?
No! I needed to do this now. It was in this ring that he said those words and in this ring he had the fortune to get that victory.
Ok, Ill sit and wait.
Dani pulls up a chair while Dave feels the energy about him, he keeps his eyes closed for a moment before he smirks and then re-opens them.
Baez
how time flies
you came down the night before our match and you tried to sing a tune to the fans, one so sycophantic and out of tune that I found it laughable. Yet, these words inspired you
to do what? The Cynical Nightmare as you call me, you set out to vanquish me, comparing our paths to what lead us there that night. And what were those words you said
Oh yes, I'll be damned if I let, Dave's run as Eurasian Champion and Titus' career go up in smoke, because of how "change" has turned this world into a twist of insanity... and that unlike me, you know where youre going and that's up. A place I can't go to. Baez, should I laugh? Because tell me, what have you gone on to do since that very night?
Dave shifts around as if hes waiting for an answer. He goes and sits up on one of the turnbuckles still waiting for his answer, he taps on his knee before jumping back down.
Ill answer it for you, nothing!
Lets see, you go running on that momentum to try and win my former championship at All or Nothing
last I checked Chris Beckford was still holding on to it and you werent even involved in the decision. You challenged Showtime for the Elite X Championship
how is that belt looking around your waist? Oh wait, what belt? And then theres the Lethal Lottery, you go on about how I didnt win it and was a thing of the past, yet, who was it that eliminated you? Dropping you on that thick skull of yours harder than anyone of your own chairshots could ever do!
Baez, is theres one thing I have found in life is that there is nothing more unforgiving than a hypocrite! You continue to ride on the success that was your one off victory over me stating that I did nothing since then and that my downfall has occurred?! Let me ask you something Baez, how did you get into the King For A Day? Did you actually have a qualifying match? I sure as hell didnt see you in one. Did you earn it on merit? Well my examples say no. How about demanding it? Ill help here, your little friend Gordito wanted you in there, you only got in because Gordito is spending most of his weekend in Chuck Myles Sludge Pit to grant you an opportunity to get into this match! That must really get your blood pumping Baez, knowing you would have probably been stuck in another Mayhem Scramble earning your 7th and shortest Mayhem reign had it not been for him. That must really bug you, because you know that if you did win King For A Day, you know you couldnt have done it without him, Ill let that one sink in for you!
He continues to smirk at himself while he continues to stand in the ring.
Baez, all joking and bitching aside, you caught me at a very good time because if you havent guessed it, I am really pissed off right now. Sure, I may have got screwed over in the past six months more than you have in a lifetime, but what you are seeing is a flame inside that is starting to heat up as the days move on, willing and ready to unleash on anyone who gets in my way but oh so much so hell can be saved for The Chamber. But you must understand this Baez, your victory over me last time is merely fuel for this fire and if theres one thing you SHOULD fear is what Im going to do to you this time around before I even get into that cage. I am a bull Baez and you are the red cape that I am targeting, the time to run is now because I am going to gore you down that your mask is a saving grace for you, if you have one. This isnt one of you Kickassery sessions, it is pure annihilation that is awaiting you at Kingdom Come, Im just getting warmed up to save you a preview because if Meltdown is just an example of what I do regularly, then imagine what its going to be like trapped with me inside that Chamber.
To end on something you said once before Baez, it is time I prove how blind YOU are and show you just what it means to be a real champion because Ive been there Baez, you havent. And Kingdom Come will bring my success once again, even if I have to take you out beforehand!
Dave nods his head in a fired up mood, he smiles and turns to Dani whos sitting there, he exits the ring to face her.
Thats the Dave I know!
Not yet
Dave walks on ahead while Dani looks on concerned at what Dave just said as the camera fades.
