Dani Applegate seems a bit jittery as she follows Jaice Wilds into the abandoned wreck of a building. A faint red and orange glow emanates from a room towards the end of a makeshift hallway, Dani starting to have second thoughts.
Dani Applegate: All due respect, Jaice; I've been kidnapped before. And this does not feel very comforting after that incident...
Wilds stops, turning to Dani. He raises his hands in a defensive manner, shaking his head.
Jaice Wilds: Ms Applegate, I gave you my word that no harm would befall you and no ill intent would enshroud you should you agree to this interview. Now, I understand you've had a terrible event that may cause you distress, and I empathize: say the word and I will take you safely back to your car. However, if you choose to trust me, I fully intend on keeping the promise I gave you before we stepped foot into this place.
Wilds waits as Dani takes a breath, surveying the area. While her anxiety is a bit high from something akin to PTSD, she takes a deep breath and nods towards the glow for Jaice to lead on.
Dani Applegate: I trust you, Jaice. I'm just… out of my comfort zone a bit.
Wilds nods to the cameramen close behind, a slight grin crossing his face. He motions for the group to duck under a low-hanging ceiling as they proceed.
Jaice Wilds: That's what the camera crew's here for. A few more trusted comrades to keep you safe and sound. Just a few more feet; the Monster is warming up while he waits.
Dani follows, the cameras close behind. They stop just outside the open doorway, Dani pulling Wilds aside and staring directly at his eyes.
Dani Applegate: Can we trust Oblivion, though? I mean, he is a creature if instinct…
Jaice reaches out a bit, nodding in request as he assures Dani's comfort and safety levels. She nods, Wilds placing his hand on her shoulder.
Jaice Wilds: IT awaits the moment to take ITs due pound of flesh, but yours is not the flesh IT craves. I assure you, he is quite harmless to you and the crew here.
They turn the corner, finding the Monster standing over a pyre. IT turns slightly, a chuckle.
Oblivion: You've brought the virgin sacrifice! Good!
Dani's face goes pale as her eyes widen in terror. Wilds shakes his head, reassuring Dani before turning to the Monster with a sigh.
Jaice Wilds: Really, dude? I just got everyone calmed down. Could we have just a tiny piece of decorum?
Oblivion grunts, rolling ITs eyes.
Oblivion: IT just wants to see Ms. Dani sweat.
The Monster takes in a deep breath. Breathing in Dani Applegate's nervous energy. Ms. Applegate cautiously makes her way to a set of makeshift seats by the fire. Jaice grins a bit, shaking his head as he sits near Dani. Oblivion continues to stand, slowly getting closer to Jaice and Ms. Applegate. Because Oblivion is a fucking Monster and screw a seat, if it ain't towering above the others. The camera crew positions around the trio, setting up the sound equipment. Jaice and Oblivion discuss the direction of the interview with Dani, who is handed a microphone. Wilds and Obi are equipped with sound boxes, and the trio take a deep breath.
Oblivion: The Monster will be the first one to start... Dani, what are your current emotions?
Dani Applegate: My emotions?! Of all the questions, you could of asked me, you asked me how am I feeling?!
Oblivion: Talk about hypocritical!! If The Monster came out being creepy, people would of thought.... "TYPICAL OBI!!" But, I asked you how were you feeling? You basically assumed there were underlined conditions, circumstances or even problems. IT was just trying to be nice.
The Monster stands up, about to walk away, but looks right at Dani, practically burning a hole deep into her soul. Dani Applegate becomes REALLY nervous. Her legs, slightly shaking. Jaice slightly grins a bit, but says something...
Jaice Wilds: Damn it, Obi!! I thought we had a deal about having her calm.
Oblivion: It could of been worse and YOU KNOW KNOW THIS.... MAAAAAAN!! IT could of had her foot in IT's mouth, chewing on her toes... RIGHT NOW!!! You know The Monster is a freaky deaky!!
Dani Applegate has a look of fear and shock, as she starts to slowly hyperventilate.
Jaice Wilds: Look what you did!! She's flippin' the fuck out!!
Oblivion: The Monster could care the fuck less. She's nothin' but a mouth breather that bleeds and pops out other mouth breathers. Why should we worry about her needs?! Who gives a fuck?! The Monster says, since she's here...
Dani Applegate starts to quickly hyperventilate.
Jaice Wilds: WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH YOU?!
Oblivion: Let Oblivion tie her up and gagged. We have a title match to prepare for. We don't have time for tits and ass, to get in the way. Unless we can carve her up later. With a name like Applegate, IT wants to see if she is sweet or sour, if we open her up.
Dani Applegate starts to scream.
Oblivion: THAT'S RIGHT SCREAM!!
Oblivion walks away, then sits down. Jaice calms Dani, assuring her before taking a breath himself.
Jaice Wilds:
Allow me to calm the situation. Corey and Frank have been clinging desperately to relevancy since the fall of WCF by finding rising stars to hook their names to. Case in point: Black spending the better part of eight months stalking me like a desperate fangirl. Noticing the guy who built his own legacy, and managing to continue perpetuating his own spotlight despite a lackluster record. Hunting me like a wounded deer, all the while building himself a monster to face- so he could retire looking like a king. But then he realized what kind of trouble he had made, realized the predicament he'd put himself in by locking horns with another legend of hardcore wrestling… And he panicked. But you know that story.
See, when the chips fell, I left Corey and Action in the rearview. Aside from some legal recourse left from my contract, I all but forgot about the whole mess. But you couldn't, Corey. You were ready to leave it all behind; ready to retire and rest on your laurels until the next XIII event. But then Frankie came outta the woodwork. The boy that wrestling forgot.
Oblivion: Black and FPV... The Monster has a method to IT's madness. Or IT's madness has a method. What things seems to appear isn't always what it seems. Corey, you fucking amaze me. God damn it!! You piss platinum and shit gold!! You heal the sick and read minds. So, when it comes to saying anything off the top of your head, you are allowed to say the dumbest shit. But, remember... you're "#Corey the king of all Black wrestlers#" Remember your moniker? I'm not twisting anything wrong... The Monster doesn't give a shit anyways. But, as many times IT's been smashed in the head, screeching and bitchin', complaining irritates the HOLY HELL out of IT!! The Monster heard you Black. IT also heard you too, Franklin!!
Wilds grins, holding his hand up to pause the Monster for a moment.
Frankie. Same idea, different approach. You saw a chance to shine, an opportunity to bring your career back in a way that seemed like it was never forgotten… And you hung your cape on Corey's laurels. What's great about your attempt to save your career is that, despite hanging onto your partner's name to make yourself relevant, you actually ended up having to put in the work! And look, I would applaud you for such an accomplishment. Repaving your own path to greatness is honorable. But when you came to my house to challenge my champion, you got a little too cocky for your own good. I brought up your name as a means to show some bottom-feeder that we weren't invisible, and you had the nerve to talk down on me.
And yet, when I laid down the gauntlet, you choked. When I challenged you- no titles, no stipulations, just a good, old-fashioned match for bragging rights- you cowered in a corner, content on letting yourself believe you dodged a bullet.
Dani nods, Wilds patting his partner on the chest. Obi scoffs a bit before staring into the camera.
Oblivion: Frank! You claim Man Made Gods are the only team that can win... IT says F*CK YOU!! The Monster puts heart into IT's effort!! Granted The Monster's heart is black and one of the valves is clogged. So... what the Hell!! Oblivion busts IT's ass!! IT WANTS TO WIN!! Not to necessarily impress anyone. Who in APW, does Oblivion need to impress?
But, kicking both sets of your teeth in. Both of you are not unbreakable!! Man Made Gods ARE beatable!! You two are nothing but human!! You two CAN bleed!! Your bones can bend, even break!! YOU TWO CAN EVEN SCREAM!! No matter how many times you try to convince us that we cannot win... WE WILL BE IN YOUR FACES TEARING OFF YOUR EARS, NOSES AND LIPS!! The Man Made Gods just gave The Monster a NEW incentive!! A new reason to win!! IT HAS TO DEFEAT YOU COREY BLACK!! To throw the defeat in your face, to show everyone that you can be defeated, even by Oblivion and Jaice Wilds.
The Monster breathes heavily, Wilds nodding to his partner. Oblivion storms out, leaving Dani and Wilds in front of the camera.
Jaice Wilds:
You call yourselves Man Made Gods. But this isn't how the world sees you, boys. You're nothing but cowards, false prophets hiding behind strong words and minor victories to propel you to greatness. You both ran for the hills when I barked back, knowing that my bite is far more dangerous. And you both decided to exercise discretion rather than to face an untamed primal beast.
Now, you cross paths with myself and Oblivion. And yes, we allowed you to escape with the victory as a guise to build your false hopes. But that was Kingdom Come. At #Bulletproof, you will both find that you are anything but. The false sense of security will be obliterated, your false hopes crushed, and the False Gods will fall before the might and cunning of The Faithless.
Make no mistake, boys. Jaice Wilds has paved a path of resistance through many a federation over the years. Oblivion, much in the same manner, has wrought havoc through the years. But know this: Alpha Pro is my home. Scourge like yourself; bottom-feeding poseurs with nothing but arrogance and ego to back your foolish pride will be eradicated. And if I must employ a Monster like Oblivion to aide me in my cause to flush the shit that is the Man Made Gods from my home, then I shall do what is necessary. Oblivion and I… we are not friends. We are not brothers. We are simply two destructive forces with a like-minded goal.
And when the dust settles at #Bulletproof, you will both find that your end, much like the spotlight tethered to my being, is simply…
Inevitable.
Wilds nods as Dani wraps things up, heading after his partner as they prepare for their big night.
Dani Applegate: All due respect, Jaice; I've been kidnapped before. And this does not feel very comforting after that incident...
Wilds stops, turning to Dani. He raises his hands in a defensive manner, shaking his head.
