What do you do when you know you are damned?
When no matter how you live your life, whatever steps to take to atone for past wrongs, it will change nothing?
That is the curse El Gran Diabolico must endure.
His fate was sealed the moment he signed away his soul to save the life of the one he loved; a love that would later betray him to his greatest mortal enemy.
What would you do if you were the man behind the mask?
El Gran Diabolico made his choice, and it was to FIGHT!
To fight for honor and glory in the ring and for justice and freedom out of it.
El Gran Diabolico may bear the Devil’s mark, but he battles against the forces that Fiend commands with every fiber of his being!
It is this noble quest that finds our hero in the dry and dusty library of the Order of St Phillip de Jesus. He stares intently at the open safe, then to the body of the dead monk sprawled beneath it.
Heirodeacon Pedro lights a cigarette before giving the last rites to his brother.
“Lay Brother Alejandro was a man of questionable loyalty to our Lord,” Pedro confessed, “But even did not deserve this.”
El Gran Diabolico shuddered internally at the pale rictus of Alejandro; his visage revealing that his final moments were ones of agony.
“He has been exsanguinated,” the behemothic technico observed, “That can mean only one thing.”
“Yes, that the ones he betrayed us for betrayed him as well, draining him of his very essence after he allowed them access to our vaults,” Pedro exhaled a smoke ring towards the ceiling.
“Las Vampiras Rabiosos,” Diabolico intoned, naming the undead sisterhood directly, “What were they after?”
Hierodeacon Pedro bent down to close the eyes of the deceased Lay Brother Alejandro, “The Book of Infernal Names. With it, they seek to bring to this world a threat far greater than any we have encountered before. Bigger than El Chacal, bigger than Muerte Rastrera.El Perrito Caliente de Logan can bring about the end of all things, as it has to countless other realities!”
“Other realities?”
“Yes, our world is just one of many, my friend. And we are just a singular manifestation of ourselves. There are an infinite number of Hierodeacon Pedros, of El Gran Diabolicos out there.”
El Gran Diabolico wondered to himself if his alternate personas were as doomed as he. He did inquire though; for the issue at hand was not the possible permutations of his own fate throughout the multiverse but this fate of this world right now.
“Do we have a way to find the Brides of Rabid?”
“I have sent word to a colleague: Archimedes Skrue. He may have information on the ritual that could allow us to head them off at the pass. However, there is another way.”
‘Yes: my way.”
Las Vamipras Rabiosos were a Trios Rudo, three of the most fearsome vampire lady wrestlers in the world. Bonita Azul, Pájaro de Fuego Extraño, and the Princesa de Sangre would not be in action in the 2020 Lucha Bowl Showdown, but their rival El Gran Sol would be. It was a distinct possibility that the Brides or an agent of theirs would be at the match, keeping tabs on The Great Sun.
For El Gran Diabolico, his duty was clear: face El Gran Sol, defeat them, and then afterwards learn what he could about their common enemy. For Honor! For Pride! And for the sake of the universe, he must prevail!!!
