Backstage in a dimly lit room is Arthan who is sitting on the floor surrounded by a bright Red chalk drawn pentagram. On each point are various sized White candles and the flames illuminate the room allowing view of Arthan. Fitted with a lapel microphone, resting his elbows on his legs, his fingertips touching together. With a deep sigh, he speaks but his head bowed.
...sigh…
"The beginning of what was to be an epic battle has become nothing but a mere reminder now of regret that had been made. Was it a regret to enter battle because I am a warrior? No! But it is with regret I allowed myself to not utilize my full capability at full capacity. It was at the battle zone (2021 Ways to Die) where I showed vulnerability. It’s been years since I have stepped foot into a war zone with men who were just as prepared. It can easily be said that I have lost a step but until you know my true intentions, then you will understand.
Let me enlighten you. It was never my intention to win that battle. It was never my intention to fulfill whatever destiny I had but it is and always has been the goal of the Left Hand for far better. Maybe it was those who sat in suits who thought my introduction here should’ve been inside a war vested for me, but again, that was not the goal of the Left Hand. Yes, I know I am my own person and yes, so does the Left Hand. But we fight as one and it is The One who has spoken this prophecy.
So to you Alex Scott, congratulations for your survival. With that, however, comes what’s next and what is next is a new constellation to pursue and that isn’t in the form of the Hardcore title, no, that new pursuit requires two. I speak to you, the team who will fall at the Left Hand”.
The lights flicker and suddenly go dark. as the candles are also extinguished. As the lights return, so do the candles ignite again and Arthan is seen now standing still inside the pentagram and still surrounded by the lit candles.
“In my previous life, the APW Hardcore title has eluded me but I stand before you a reincarnated being with new intentions, a mission if you’d so like to call it. Mason Martinez and Christian Laurens, or should I call you (he sounds confused as he says) Indie Rebellion? I’m not sure even what to call you because we know who you are, but management doesn’t even know who you are because when they booked this match, they called yourselves Indie Revolution? Like I said, I know who you are but I’m sure by now management has seen their flaw and fixed their error. But I ask you for a favor, so please, indulge me. I ask you, each of you, to bring your little manager with you, that Abigail Rain along. Bring her not so she can interfere but bring her so you both can have someone to beg for your lives, beg the referee to stop the match, and beg for your torturing to stop. Better yet, Abigail, bring your phone because you’re going to have to call their next of kin. It’s a good thing that APW has your dental records on file because when we are done, you will not be recognizable”.
Arthan laughs as he turns away from the camera and then looks back at the camera.
“How forgetful of me. I forgot to mention the reason we are fighting. It’s not for free although let’s face it, I like to. But no, it’s because there is something on the line and that’s for a chance at you two, the APW Tag Team Champions. Damon (Warrens) and America (Jackson), you two have something that we want and that’s those titles. Sure, we could easily beat you up and take those titles but no, we’re going to take that out on those Indie guys. Maybe we’ll leave some scraps for a scene because we know a bloody Serengeti makes for good TV and well, us hungry lions, are just looking for the main course.
But don’t get me wrong, we’re not going to look past our opponents. No, we know what these guys are capable of. They’re called Indie for a reason. Before we made it here, we all were on the Independent scene and it’s because of our talent that we’re here. It’s just sad that you two call yourselves Indie Rebellion not because you couldn’t find another name to call yourselves, but you don’t want to lose where you came from. That’s good though and I commend you for it because that’s where we all started from. The difference is that you still hold onto that because that’s your Linus blanket. You remember him right? You watched Charlie Brown and how he always carried around that blanket because he hadn’t yet grown up to find out that it was the blanket that was linking him to his immaturity and never allowing himself to grow up and become a main character but just a recurring cast.
Ditch the blanket when you step in the ring with us because we’re not here to hold your hand. We’re not here to give you a few good minutes of exposure. We’re going to hurt you. We’re going to beat you and we’re going to make you wish that you should’ve stayed on the Independents because this isn’t what you signed up for. We don’t play games here and we don’t care who we hurt, we’re here to make a statement at any and all costs. You just happen to be who management felt like throwing to the lions. So it’s easy, prepare to be devoured and if you think you’re going to be a Daniel in the Lion’s den, think again. On second thought, maybe you should pray but even that won’t save you from what’s going to happen.
And when we’re done with you, then it’s no secret that we’re coming for the Tag Team Championships and when we have them, then the Left Hand will stand tall and proclaim that Alpha isn’t just the name of the company but it defines who we are. We, the Left Hand, have come to seek and devour all who stand in our way and you are in our way. It is the goal to fill the treasure chest of The One and the first of many titles for our taking are those Tag Team Championship titles. But if it be that we have to go through this exhibition match to get to you, then their blood will be on your hands.
Don’t say that we didn’t warn you but let this warning be on you as well. The Left Hand, we do not sleep and we do not stop until our mission is complete. Mark this day on the first day of February, that you Indie Rebellion, you proved that you could get to the main event but it was too big a task to try and break free from your past to grasp hold of your never inevitable future. But as your future is clearly out of reach, it is you, Damon and America that should watch this match closely because it is you who have much to lose. As Mason and Christian have good intentions, we definitely do not. Do what you can but it won’t matter for the beating and mauling and destruction that comes as the prophecy that has come before us has warned you and this land about. He that hath ears let them hear but those who do not dare to hear, they will be dealt with by the Left Hand and consumed by our wrath. You two, Indie Rebellion, you will feel the wrath and as we stand face-to-face with you wearers of Gold, you will too realize that you are wearing what you think places you on the mountaintop, but you will realize that Alpha Pro Wrestling is our mountain.
I will leave you with these final words. Mason, Christian and even you Abigail Rain, your expectations on achieving something that is out of your reach is not a goal that you should give up on, just a goal that you will not come until you do as all will do and that is kneel and give in to the urge, the urge and the truth that the Left Hand is and always will be. Until you come to the understanding of that truth, you will not seek what you hope to find. Indie Rebellion, a name that has traditional ties but unconventional qualities, will meet the forerunners of Him who is to come. For it is He who is much greater than I. It is He who is much greater than he who stands next to me. It is He who all will kneel before and stretch forth your Left hand and proclaim that there is nothing more greater, more powerful and more destructive than that of His name which will be written on your forehead.
I tell you this not to scare you but to put the fear of the unknown in the back of your heads that while your torture will be painful and unbarring, your future can be saved through your sacrifice. Those who do not follow His ways, will be sacrificed and shall be laid at his feet in reverence to the One who has always been and who shall always be. So heed my warning and the result be of your own negligence. The time is at hand for the battleground has been made and the execution has been declared. Indie Rebellion, as the time draws nigh for your fate, I remind you again of my warning. He who does not bow a knee shall face His wrath and tonight, by nothing of our own, your fate has been sealed. Shall we sacrifice you Mason or you Christian or even you Abigail Rain? That is your fate and for that you can thank your APW management for this.
In the darkness, you search for light but find none. In the darkness, you seek help but there is none. Nothing you search for is found but it’s until the Left Hand seeks and finds, then your revelation becomes clear. Your Genesis has not yet begun but should all who side with the Left Hand carry the burden together that has weighed us down, it’s then we find that He is the one who has watched with his all seeing eye just what we have become and where we came. So I say to you, stand with us and don’t battle a fear that dominates you but become the fear that will soon consume and dominate all who dares the fear”.
Arthan places his hands together as if he’s praying and from underneath him, smoke starts to rise. His head bowed, his eyes closed, he began a chant or prayer. Whatever the words, the candles around him begin flickering as if controlled by a light switch yet they are candles that were lit by a match. The smoke that rose up from underneath him turns to a Red color as Arthan lifts his head and looks into the camera. His face looks different as his eyes are blackened as if wearing Black contacts. Behind him on the wall, the logo of the Left Hand is seen. The scene ends with the sound of an evil laugh playing in the background.
