Becky Serra is standing nervously outside a dressing room with Leon Kensworth arguing
Leon: Look, someones going to have to do it, the guy has a shot at the Championship.
Becky: Theres no way Im going in there. The guy is creepy
Leon: Well Im not going in! Hell, Klamors never been the same since this guys buddy beat him up.
Becky: So basically, weve to tell the boss that no-one can interview the guy?!? Good luck on that one Leon.
Diego San Pablo is seen walking down the hallway.
Leon: One minute Becky. Hey, Diego. Come over here a minute.
Diego: Si señor.
Leon: Diego
this is normally something Id ask Johnny to do, but hes a little
indisposed right now after a little incident backstage. How would you like to be the first person to actually have an interview with Vengeance?
Diego: It would be a honour
Leon: Excellent. Now, Im required to warn you that while a wrestler isnt meant to lay a hand on an interviewer, its a risk that you take.
Diego: He lay hand on me, I hit him with brass. I take the risk
but tell me homes. Why you or the chica not interview him?
Leon: Ehhh
well. One minute. brings out phone Yes boss, yes Ill be right there. Everest? Ill send her now. hangs up Becky, the boss is looking an interview with Everest and he likes you. Diego, Im sorry to leave you here, but Ive an urgent meeting to attend. Cameras already in there for you. Good luck
Both leave, leaving Diego outside the locker room, muttering something about cojones. He turns and knocks the door.
Silence answers him. He opens the door and sees nothing but a lit candle in the room.
Diego: Hola homes. Any one home.
The door closes behind him, leaving him in darkness with the camera in the room focused towards the far wall.
A voice comes from the darkness
So I present them with the opportunity and they choose not to take it. If only they knew the significance of what is to take place, they would be begging to go down in history.
Diego: Porque?
Look around. See what has come to pass since I arrived, the paths that have been cleared in preparation for what must come to pass. A Dynasty has fallen, the corrupt regime has been shattered; liars, cheats, violent men
all have fallen away before; the power hungry have been destroyed and those who crave gold have been humbled. The signs are pointing towards the Glorious Appearing, the day when all will see the planning unfold and bow before The Master.
Diego: Pardon
but who is this Master. Does he even exist? For all we know, youre loco esse.
Silence meets the question
Diego: You no like the question? Ok. Youre up against four other men who want the title for their own. What will it take to beat them homes?
Three men oppose my goals, each wanting the belt for their own. Men who seek the prestige and riches of being a champion, all the while deceiving and claiming it is for the fans, for honour. CHARLATANS!!! (this echoes around the dressing room. Vengeance pauses for a few seconds before continuing) These men oppose everything in the path laid down, the things which must take place and must be destroyed for this alone. Atonement for their other sins will take place, starting with Everest, and Bratchny and Stokes will receive recompense for their deeds.
Diego: Youre semi-final match is agai
(interrupted)
Everest who has made it clear he seeks nothing but gold. Who charms his way into making you think he is good and upright. Yet his actions of late have shown a sadistic side. This is the man who took it upon himself to injure Reaper in malice, to assault a prone Alex Bowen. He parades himself as an angel of light, all the while acting like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Diego: Nonetheless, señor, the Everest is capable of beating you
(chuckle from the darkness) Capable
being capable and doing are different matters. You see WZCW, all have been capable Eric Derf, Murfish, Daniel Stokes, Steamboat Ricky all capable but how many have pinned me in the ring.
Diego: I believe Ricky beat you in the King for a Day tournament.
No-one who has beaten me stands before me today. The Master has seen to that. And will continue to ensure that may path is not blocked by those who would seek to oppose me.
Diego: Señor
there is one more person in the tournament. A man no-one has ever beaten.
(pause) Manzo, a monster whose path mirrors my own. Both of us seek to win for the same reason, for our Master. And yet, both of us differ. Manzo serves because he is owned for a short time
a ****e turning a trick because he is paid for. Manzos loyalty to his master is one of necessity. I serve the Master, not because I am swayed by money or vain words. No, Manzo
I serve because I see, I know, I understand that which I serve. I know the path ahead and I go forward, not merely following as a sheep.
Diego: Anylast words before you prepare for the match?
An end! The end has come on the four corners of the ring. The end is now on you, and I will send the Masters anger on you and will judge you and will lay on you all your abominations. My eye shall not spare you, and I will not have pity. You shall know that I am Vengeance. The time has come, the day of tumult is near
For so says the Master: I will soon pour out My fury on you and fulfil My anger on you. And I will judge you according to your ways and will put on you all your abominations.
Behold the day! Behold, it has come. Violence has. None of them who dare to oppose me shall remain. They will ring the bell, but no one will stand after the battle, for my wrath will be displayed to all. Even the silver and gold of Magnus will not be able to save.
Anguish comes! They shall seek peace, but disaster on disaster must come before the peace. The time is here when the Board shall mourn, when the rest of the roster shall be terrified. Because according to their deeds, I will do to them, and according to their actions, I will judge them. And they shall know that Vengeance is mine and I shall repay.
Now
LEAVE! The camera stays.
Footsteps can be heard as Diego walks away, and light fills the room as the door is opened before it is heard slamming shut.
Vengeance steps out from the shadows and into the light of the candle, visible for the first time.
Master
the time has come for the abominations of WZCW to atone for their actions. They have been given warning and I have not failed you in your demands. I have been a faithful witness in proclaiming that they must be ready for your appearing. The time is at hand, and soon they shall be forced to bow before you as Lord and Master. None shall be allowed to stand.
I pray that you would give me the strength, the determination to do what is expected of me, what you see as reasonable service. Let me not fail in doing your bidding, but clear the obstacles from my path
Let your will be done. The time for redemption has passed, only judgement remains and it shall be meted out, first on Everest and then on whoever dares to stand before me. Let me bring the glory and that which you seek and lay it at your feet
the WZCW Heavyweight Championship.
I go now to fulfil your will
Vengeance moves past the camera, leaving the candle casting his shadow as he walks out the door, closing it behind him. The camera remains on, looking at the camera until it gets blown out, and then the camera is turned off.
