6CW Seasons' Beatings 2013 22nd December 2013

(OOC: This takes place a few days after today's show.)

Our scene opens in a cordoned off area of a small auditorium, the camera pans around revealing what looks like a makeshift backstage area, lining the walls are various kit bags hung up on pegs, we see various wrestling costumes before coming to a crumpled poster that has been stuck to the wall, the camera zooms in revealing it to be for a charity wrestling event, as the camera pans down it reads “Featuring a very special guest...TBA!” The camera zooms back out and continues to pan, suddenly a familiar figure walks in to the scene with a serious look crossing his face.

The Viper Liam Wood makes his way through being escorted by the promotion runner Bobby James, he directs Liam to his section of the backstage area but Viper looks disinterested...Viper removes his EWF hoodie revealing a Kill Steen Kill t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, his tattoos on full display, Bobby continues to talk but Viper looks distracted, his phone begins to ring but he places it down on the side, the camera noting that the incoming call is from Emmy, Viper looks down and shakes his head before cancelling the call, Bobby James finally gets his attention.

James: Here we go Viper, it's not much but for the next few hours you can call this home...it might not live up to 6CW but-

At the mention of 6CW Viper once again goes in to his own little world, his phone vibrates again, this time a text from Emmy, the preview on the screen reading “I hope today goes well, I hope that we're...”, Viper looks at the screen for a second before turning the phone off and placing it inside the locker along with a few other items, Bobby continues to talk in the background but Viper is clearly distracted by other things. A voice breaks the distraction...

???: Look who it is...the big shot slumming it dow here with the amatures...

James: Brendan, just cut it out...Liam is doing us a massive favour taking part in this event and doesn't need you acting like...well, you!

Viper stares at the guy in front of him, Brendan Perez, the federations hottest star and the guy most likely to break out, Brendan ignores Bobby and begins to square up to Viper, a smirk covers his face as he notices a few of the other wrestlers beginning to watch.

Perez: You do realise that no-one buys it right!? This whole Thunder and Viper forever till death do you part bullsh!t!

Viper's jaw clenches as Bobby attempts to get between the two of them, Brendan waits for a reaction but Viper holds back, the smirk covering Perez' face turns to a snarl as he further pushes Viper

Perez: He stole your title...he stole your rematch and soon enough, he'll be stealing your girl, it's making you look like a pathetic loser...If it was me...I'd...well to tell you the truth, I wouldn't have let it happen in the first place, I would have pulled on the S.O.A t-shirt and showed the world how smart I was.

Viper attempts to walk away but Perez pulls him back in and a smug smile covers his face, finally Viper responds

Viper: I'm here to fight...not talk about 6CW or discuss how much better I am than you so I'll see you out there. A tip for you though, I am NOT in the mood for some no name punk acting like he's the next me...

Viper shoves past Perez who begins to laugh, he and the other members of the federation begin to mock Viper as he makes his way out to the ring where the fans are getting excited to see the surprise guest.

We cut to the auditorium that is packed with wrestling fans of all ages, the camera pans around to show about 250 people all getting ready for the main event of the night which see's Brendan Perez take on a surprise guest, suddenly “€666” by I Killed The Prom Queen begins to blast from the PA System and The Viper Liam Wood comes out sending the crowd in to a frenzy, he bursts out of the entrance high fiving the fans as he does, they start up a 6-C-DUB chant as he makes his way to the ring, taking a mic and rolling in.

Viper: THIS is the reason I do what I do!

The crowds chants get louder and the noise of stamping feet takes over the small room, Viper walks around the ring for a second before continuing to talk to the fans.

Viper: I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight and for watching me in my last match of the year.

As the fans chant for Viper a boo can be heard over the PA, the crowd turn to the entrance to see Perez standing with a mic to his lips, he continues to boo as he walks to the ring going nose to nose with Viper before continuing to antagonise Wood.

Perez: How does it feel to know you're about to lose your last match of this year? My tip is to leave now actually...if you mess with me, this might be your last match ever...

Viper smirks as the crowd chant “@sshole” towards Perez, the chants turn to cheers as Viper delivers a stiff right hand causing Perez to hit the matt hard, the ref runs down and splits the two before ringing the bell to start the fight and we join Lucas Andrews on commentary.

As the match starts Perez begins to shout about Wood's failed EWF title run and how Emmy and Thunder were against him, Wood grits his teeth as Perez bursts towards Viper with a head of steam looking for revenge for the punch, the crowd go crazy as Wood uses Perez' momentum against him hitting a huge spinebuster before dropping down and laying in to Perez with thunderous ground and pound

Andrews: The Viper is already showing the fans here why he is a former TV and World Heavyweight Champion, if Perez can't fight this attack off then this could be over quick!

Perez attempts to cover up but Wood finds a way through landing hard fists to the face and jaw of Perez. Perez manages to push Wood back using his legs but Wood is relentless, hitting a huge running knee to the side of Perez's face as he gets to his knees before returning and hitting a double stomp to the chest of his opponent. Perez begins to crawl in agony as Wood begins to stalk him, as Perez pulls on the ropes of the ring to pull himself up Wood runs in hitting a rib cracking kick.

Wood pulls Perez up and throws him in to the turnbuckle, landing punches to the ribs, as Perez attempts to guard them he receives a huge forearm to the face, followed by countless European Uppercut taking Perez down to a sitting position near the turnbuckle, Wood climbs to the second rope and hits a huge slingshot drop kick busting the nose of Perez wide open.

Andrews: Perez likes to call himself the pretty boy but Wood is certainly attempting to change that...

Wood steps back as Perez rolls around the ring in agony, the blood pouring from his nose as a result of the impact, Perez manages to get to his knees and can be heard screaming sorry as Wood looks down at him, Wood begins to walk towards the ropes before pausing for a second, suddenly a look of rage covers his face as he turns his attention back towards Perez...he darts across the ring hitting another huge knee to the kneeling opponent further busting him open before falling down on top of him landing punch after punch, the ref attempts to pull him off of his opponent but Wood pushes him away and continues the attack

Andrews: My god, Wood seems to have lost it...We heard that there was tension between these two and it seems to have spilled over, it seems like Perez may have got under the skin of the 6CW star...I guess he's regretting that now!

Suddenly two members of the roster burst in to the small venue and attempt to pull Wood off of Perez, one of the members sucseeds but is caught with a huge combination of lefts and rights before being tossed to the outside, Wood turns his attention back to Perez who has managed to roll down to the outside, Wood follows him down grabbing a chair as Perez begins to crawl, the crowd cheer as Wood lands a back breaking chair shot across his opponents spine, Perez lets out a scream as Wood lands another followed by a third before placing the chair across the steel steps and pull Perez up on to them to with him.

Andrews: No...he can't do this!

Crowd: HOLY SH!T x 10!

The crowd gasp in shock as Wood pulls Perez in to a pedigree position before jumping in the air and landing both feet on to the back of Perez's head sending him face first on to the metal, more roster members come down and finally manage to break up the beating, the camera zooms in on Wood, he pushes members away and walks to the back

Our scene changes back to the dressing room, Wood walks back and punches the wall over and over again until Bobby James storms in.

James: What the hell is going on!? We wanted a wrestling match, not a f*cking massacre!

Wood pauses for a few seconds before charging at James and slamming him against the wall, a look of fear crosses James' face as Viper responds.

Wood: I don't give a damn what you wanted...I came to fight and do what I do best...that's what you got...you put me up against some snot nose little punk who wants to push my buttons, he brought it on himself

James: I understand that the Authority are getting to you bu-

A look of rage covers Wood's face as his grip around the neck of James gets harder, cutting off James' sentence

Wood: You have NO idea what I am going through right now so I advice you shut you god damn mouth...You're lucky that I went easy on Perez because I could have ended his career before it even have a chance to begin...you called him your next big star but all I saw was a guy who thought he was good enough to be the next me...you wanted me to test if he could back that up...well I guess you have your answer now.

Wood throws James to the side and exits the room, the scene ends with James sat in the locker room in shock.

Our scene opens in an abandoned house, the camera moves slowly down the halls as the dust slowly floats along being illuminated by the light that pours through the cracks in the walls, the camera shows the dust covered windows blocking out all light, the wallpaper has become rotten and peels revealing the cracked brick work beneath, as the camera continues to travel the wallpaper is all but gone and the brickwork has scrawled text along every inch.

The phrase “Día de Muertos” is repeated hundreds if not thousands of times, along the walls in a thick red substance, suddenly the crackle of a vinyl record is heard in the background as a slow, distorted version of CCClouds by He Is Legend begins to play, it seems to echo around the halls, the record skips for a few seconds and the camera footage flickers to static as it does, in amongst the static the sight of a pile of rotten animals being consumed by maggots can be seen, it quickly snaps back to normality and the camera continues to travel, once again the walls of the house are covered in thick red text, the substance runs and the words blend in to one, it begins to become so merged that it resembles blood pouring down the walls, the light is now non existent apart from a dull, flickering light bulb, as it flickers the shadows from the items in the hall dance around the room, for a split second the music pauses and the shadow resembles a monstrous figure.

A haunting laugh can be heard in the background as the camera flickers again, this time in the static a statue with bleeding eyes is show, the blood covering the face as the footage changes to a pile of skulls, the words Dia De Muertos once again written in a thick red substance above them, the footage once again snaps back, the hall opens up in to a grand room that is all but empty apart from an old style record player that comes to an end and CCClouds stops playing, being replaced by the sound of the stylus scratching in to the centre of the record for a second before the arm automatically returns to the off position, the room is in complete silence again for a few seconds, the room lit up by the warm glow of candle light, the camera pans around the room showing the walls lined with hundreds of candles, the wax drips to the ground and melts in to the ground, the camera flickers again showing the familiar sight of a place mask before snapping back, the laugh is heard once more as the candles all go out, suddenly the camera pulls back, returning through the hall in which we started until it reaches a door, the door is thick with dust but a sign can be read, it appears to be a baby sign for a door that reads “Edward”, the door slowly cracks open to show a figure sat in the centre of the room, his back to the camera, he begins to let out a sick laugh as the camera moves in to the room and pans around him, the figure is revealed to be The Reverend Edward Plague who is wearing his trade mark Plague mask as he looks down at the item in his hands, a teddy bear that appears to have been burnt, he clutches it with all his strength as he talks to himself.

“I'm home Mother...hehehe...Your boy is ready to make you proud”

The camera flickers as pictures of a picturesque family are shown, a Mother, a Father and a smiling little boy, the footage distorts this time showing the same family but just the Mother and the boy, the smiles are gone, one last photo is shown where the Mother and Son stare emotionless, the camera flickers again and the pictures burn to ash as we return to Edward in the room.

“They told me I was wrong...hehehe...that I was sick...hehehe...give me the power to change them...to make them pure...hehehe...like you did for me...hehehe...the day is nearly upon them...I'll make you proud...hehehe...I promise.”

The scene fades to black with Edward letting out a sick laugh as he holds the teddybear, the camera zooms out as the room is revealed, revealing what looks like a baby's room that has been damaged by fire, the same text of Dia de Muertos is written on every inch of the wall in a thick red substance that is slowly running down the wall, the music starts again...

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis by Thrift Shop, blast out of the sound system. For the first few second of the song, the centre of the entrance fills with smoke. Robin Reborn jumps through in to a forward roll. He flips to his feet and puts on the trilby in his hand. He runs down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope, before leaping on to the turnbuckle to salute the fans.

Robin grabs a microphone from the commentary box. As he steps to the centre of the ring and opens his mouth, the big screen whirls into life. The screen fills with static before turning to black screen with a green, biohazard symbol in the middle.

Thunder
Hello 6CW. I am still alive. Let me just boost the signal then you’ll be able to see me.

The screen fills with static, the green, biohazard symbol barely visible. When the static dissipates Thunder can be seen through some static, sat in a dimly lit room. He fiddles with a few buttons and sits back as the static disappears completely.

Thunder
That’s better. Firstly, Nightwing, sorry for stealing your air time but, the Authority has blocked me talking to the 6CW crowd for the last few weeks. So, to be able to talk to you all, I’ve had to hack in to the production booth, from this secret location. Now, all the guys in the booth are scrambling around trying to block me. I wouldn’t bother guys, I’m bouncing off so, many proxy servers that by the time you find my signal, it would have switched to another server. Therefore I’m not going anywhere.

The crowd cheer loudly as Thunder pauses. Robin smiles as he shrugs, he walks over to the turnbuckle and leaps up on to the top rope. There Robin sits and watches with the fans, he gestures for Thunder to continue. Thunder rises from his seat, his hand slides under the camera and he lifts it up, he holds it slightly above him and looks into the camera as he continues.

Thunder
Thank you for understanding Nightwing. Keep watching though, I think you’ll enjoy this. There are a few things I’d like to clear up. Firstly, Authority, I’m going to tell you what I told the bullies as I grew up. Every week you beat on those you persevere as weaker than you but, now you try mind games, my arena of expertise, really? Well, lets see what this does.

Thunder turns up the lights to reveal that the room he was in was the office of the Authority. The door remains locked, the windows closed, leaving the question of how Thunder got in there. Thunder turns the camera to reveal that he’s using Mr Jones’ computer. Thunder rests the camera on the desk and returns to the seat, putting his feet up on the desk.

Thunder
So, Nightwing, you like what you’ve seen so far?

Robin remains sat on the top rope, he laughs and mouths yeah.

Thunder
You’ll love this then.

Thunder hits a few buttons on the keyboard and the screen flips through a couple of security camera images. Firstly showing Kelsey’s office, the word Harpy sprayed on the wall. It then flips to the Authority locker room, which is trashed. Finally it flips to a the outside of a hotel room, in which Kelsey and Roth are just about to enter. The screen flips back to Thunder.

Thunder
Why did I show you all that? Simple. I wanted you all to know that none of you are untouchable. Not even you Enforcer.

Static fills the screen before changing to video footage of Enforcer entering the building. He walks down the hall way until he get to the lift, he presses the button and waits for it. Thunder creeps out from behind a nearby roadie crate. He sneaks up behind Enforcer and sprays a yellow strip down the back of his jacket, before disappear back behind the crate. The static returns and disappears again, returning to Thunder, now sat on the desk.

Thunder
See what I mean? Just because you people have money and connections doesn’t mean your safe, that you’re untouchable or that you won’t get your comeuppance. All of you will be brought down a peg or two, starting with you Enforcer. You capitalised on my mistake to steal that belt. To further prove you ineptitude, when you debuted in EWF you came up against me. You won your first match yes but, you had to cheat. Then you faced me again and lost because you couldn’t beat me you got yourself disqualified. Now come Seasons Beatings, you’ll discover why they call me the on coming storm. You will be enforced…wait, those aren’t my words.

Thunder walks off out of the shot, lost in thought. The door opens and closes before Thunder comes back in to shot.

Thunder
One more thing. I remembered my words, let’s rock, <as the crowd join in> and ride.

Thunder once more disappears from the shot. The screen fills again with static before fading out and back to ringside.

Our scene opens as we join the former EWF World Heavyweight Champion The Viper Liam Wood in the backstage area of the Copperbox Arena, the camera follows him as he walks along the hall, as he walks the camera picks up the new poster for Season's Beatings, he looks at it for a second before shaking his head and continuing to walk, suddenly a familiar voice stops him dead in his tracks

???: You know you're going to have to make a decision soon enough, so why not make the right one?

Viper pauses for a second before turning around, revealing a concerned looking Emmy wearing a white old style EWF t-shirt, she walks up to him and kisses him on the cheek.

Viper: And what's the right one Emmy? Either way, I have to do something I don't want to do...

Emmy: Over ten years of friendship and you have to ask what's the right thing to do!? Wether Thunder wins or loses, it should be because that's what was meant to happen...not because his best friend gave in to the Authority and screwed him over...I get that it's hard but you know, deep down...you have to call it down the line...that way, no matter what...you know the right thing was done.

Viper: Maybe doing the right thing isn't always what's best for...

Emmy: ...Business? God Liam, you're starting to sound like them...don't you get it...this is what they want and unless you show them that you can't be bought, they win...I get that the title means a lot to you but I thought friendship meant more...

Emmy is cut off as a slow clap comes from behind Emmy and Viper, the camera changes angle to show a devious looking Kelsey stood wearing a a short red skirt, she walks up to Viper attempting to place her hand on his chest only for him to brush her hand away and shake his head

Kelsey: Well isn't this sweet!? I might actually agree with Emmy on this one...you should be a good little boy and do the right thing...then when Daddy takes away your chance to ever be champion again you can use that as the excuse to why you never truly made it because to be fair, for a guy who talks about being the best...you didn't really hold that title for very long, though I guess we know who was to blame that time

Kelsey mouths the word Thunder to Viper and giggles before continuing to talk

Kelsey: The truth is Liam, I know what you should do at Season's Beating and so do you...you can worry about right and wrong all day but at this point, it's hardly black and white...Emmy wants you to do the right thing and help Thunder...the “best friend” who lost your rematch, the “best friend” who cost you the title in the first place and the “best friend” who seems to spend more time talking to your girlfriend than you...I get that friendship is important to you but, is it important to Thunder?

Emmy shakes her head and grits her teeth after clearly hearing enough from Kelsey

Emmy: You are so full of bullsh!t Kelsey...do you really think this is going to work!? Liam and Mike have been friends for half of their lives and you think he'll throw that away because your Dad and his Brother say how high? Maybe you should spend less time having “talent relations” and watch the damn show...you'll see that Liam isn't for sale and isn't someone you can treat like a puppet.

Kelsey: Oh that's a shame because I like the idea of him being tied up and under my control

Emmy see's red and launches herself at Kelsey, Liam stops her before trying to calm her down only to have Kelsey further taunt her

Kelsey: Oh Emmy, you should take that as a compliment...it's almost like you don't trust your boyfriend around me...

Liam pauses for a second before losing it, he cuts Kelsey off before walking out leaving Kelsey and Emmy stood looking confused. Kelsey attempts to talk to Emmy but Emmy cuts her off as the scene fades to black

Kelsey: Emmy! Look what you've done no-

Emmy: Shut the f*ck up Kelsey, don't you have a roster member to sexually harass!?

The arena fills with green lights as Heroes are Hard to Find blasts out of the sound system. The green light flashes and turns to darkness, before three green pyros go off center stage. Half the song passes by and still no sign of Thunder. As the song nears it's end, Thunder finally bursts through the curtain, sporting his old, tan, trench coat.

Thunder stands in the center of the stage, microphone in hand. He lowers his head and then raises it to look at Enforcer. Thunder makes gestures with his hands suggesting that he's going to clap. He stops as his hands near each other and instead rises the microphone.

Thunder
I fear you as much as fear any other man, that is to say I don't fear you. I've seen scarier things in the toilet. I have played the fool for far too long. At Seasons Beatings, you will see why they call me the on coming storm, when I take either your title or you out.

Thunder stands between Enforcer and the entrance waiting for Enforcer to reply.

Thunder laughs at Enforcer.

Thunder
Do you hear yourself when you speak? Of course I'm deluded to some degree, I'm several cards short of a full deck. And that makes me a problem for you and for Authority. See, you or them bully me, I get up, I laugh and I come back.

You all try to push a wedge between me and Liam, I think last week showed you, you can't. In fact, Liam listen up. I'm not going to spout some crap about blood being thicker than water or, being closer than brothers. All I'm going to say is screw me, I won't blame you and I'll understand.

I've admitted to my delusion, it's time you recognise yours. I'm not the same person you bullied in EWF, yes I'm an entertainer first but, as a close second I'm a lunatic. Yes, Liam and I have had our issues but, he loathes you far more than me.

I hope he calls it down the line for your sake, otherwise you won't be walking out never mind with the title.

The fans cheer asThunder charges down the ramp, as he nears Enforcer he looks for a closeline. Enforcer ducks underneath causing the fans to boo, dropping the title belt as he does. He pushes Thunder towards the steel steps as the fans shudder in unison. Thunder leaps up on to them, causing the fans to gasp with surprise, he looks shocked that he actually managed to do that.

Thunder looks back at Enforcer and grins. He dives off, again the fans cheer, twisting in midair looking for a diving crossbody. Enforcer catches him in mid air, the fans cheers turn to boos. Enforcer readjusts Thunder so, that he sits on his shoulder. As Enforcer looks to lay Thunder out, the fans will Thunder on, he elbows Enforcer's head and wiggles down his back.

Thunder, takes a couple of steps back before, edging forward looking for the super kick. Enforcer, has the move scouted and begins to back off up the ramp. Thunder's fired up and eggs Enforcer to bring it on as he continues to back away.

Thunder spots the title belt on the floor and gestures to it, suggesting for Enforcer to come back for it. Enforcer shakes his head, he's not that stupid. Thunder steps so, he's standing over the belt. He picks it up and offers it to Enforcer. When Enforcer shakes his head again, Thunder picks up the microphone that Enforcer dropped.

Thunder
One more thing, come Seasons Beatings, the EWF title returns to the fans. So, as you don't want to come get your belt, it might as well go to them now.

Thunder lifts the belt above his head, as the fans chant his name. Thunder tosses the championship belt out in to the crowd. Enforcers faces scrunches into anger, as Thunder just smiles as the scene fades.
