The scene opens to a place where time is non complacent, to a place where the sky and the ground are not so easy to tell apart. In this place there is a contradiction to everything within it, and yet somehow it still remains quaint. There is something unnatural about the place but at the same time it is exactly what you know deep inside as natural. There is a feeling of comfort while yet still a chill that crawls deep down your spine.

Two figures walk towards where the camera is located. One can be identified as Ariel �Sickle� James, and the other as Daniyel James. The two peacefully sit down, and they begin to talk in a most dignified manner of things to come and things that have already happened.

Daniyel: Ariel you must understand that you cannot kill Maleficus. His power is so extreme that it exceeds what he is suppose to have even as an angel. I think he has been tapping into human witchery which would make him almost unstoppable. I am starting to wonder if I can stop him myself.

Ariel kinds of gives his father a questioning look

: You are supposed to be a fallen angel same as him why would you be unable to stop him? I understand the magic part but lets face there has to be some way to beat him.

Daniyel just lets his head hang, as he looks downwards in shame

Daniyel: I have been around for quite awhile my son, my time draws near, I understand this now. However, I will not let Maleficus destroy my family. We will find him Ariel, and if anything we will at least make him cower back to the depths from which he came.

Daniyel then looks at Ariel with a questioning look of his own

Daniyel: So what are your plans with the match at Shockwave? Maleficus is too clever to put all his eggs into one basket so one has to wonder what is he really up to with this match, what is he trying to pull? If you could say something to your opponents what would it be son?

:You know something Orlando, and Bruce I have something to say that addresses both of you. I used to have respect for you two and do you know why? Because you Bruce jump into any match without question or because you Orlando managed to grab a title here and there? No! It is not because of either of these but because you two stood on your OWN! Even though I really don�t do it all that often myself. I do admire those who do. That was something to be proud of you two. You stood on your own two feet. You both stood for you, and the fans. Then instead of appealing to the fans, instead of remembering them you decided to follow a man that you knew nothing about, like a dog on a leash. You let that rats ass use you and he is still using you two. He is playing a game of chess here, and guess what you two are nothing but pawns! Do you really think he cares about whether or not you win? No, he wants to get to Draven and I. He wants to weaken us so that it will be all the harder to get the title back. He has not intentions of letting someone else get the title. I can see that now. He doesnt want one of the Revelation members to get the world title. He wants it! You have been following him for quite some time now, and tell me how many times has he helped either of you? How many times has he leaped to your side?

Both of you will be destroyed in this match, and it will be more than swift. What no one seems to grasp yet is while yes there can only be one victory over this match. It was clearly stated that the last TWO count it now boys the last TWO men standing get a shot at the title. Do you two really believe that Draven and I are going to destroy each other first? Do you really believe that even Xande is going to try to destroy us first? No! He is going to try to take out at least one if not both of you first because simply put it will be a lot easier, all Xande has to do is be one of the last two men standing he does not have to be the clear cut victor in order to be one of the TWO number one contenders. Everyone in this match except for maybe Xande is more than aware of my talent but only one has a clue of my capability. There is no way that I will not at LEAST be one of the last two men standing in this match.

Orlando, maybe you should be listening to Badger because he is the only one making sense around here. You think the Revelation is the dominant force? You guys do not even hold the world title. Hell Revelation does not even have the National Title. If you think this is going to be clearcut victory for Revelation as I have explained before you are so wrong. This is not only going to be a clearcut victory for the Dark Riders Gang but it will also be a manslaughter upon those who dare to align themselves with the murderous group known as Revelation. You think you are big around here Orlando? People like you are like a boy band, they rise and they fall. Get used to that hardcore belt because that is probably the only title you are ever going to hold around here, and even that will probably be cut short once you get that usual cocky attitude that comes usually after you finally get a break and manage a victory. It is through your arrogance that you will find your defeat. It is through your overconfidence that you will find your defeat. First you are in a hardcore match with a man that is probably going to beat you senseless, take your title, and then tell you a bunch of fat jokes about your mother which are probably close to accurate. Then you are going to be in a five way battle royal for the number one contendership of the EFW World Title against the very man that you fought for the hardcore title, the true hardcore legend Eric Draven, and the Gothic Icon me. But lets not forget number five your fellow Revelation member Bruce who appears to be wondering whether or not he wants to be in Revelation or not. There are seeds of doubt already planted into that mind of his. There is doubt about whether or not he can win, there is doubt about him being a puppet of Maleficus, there is doubt about him being able to trust you. The odds are more than just stacked against you here Orlando, hang up your coat after the hardcore match because I guarantee that you are not going to come out of this match triumphant. Now as far as Revelation being a dominant force it appears to me that Revelation is dropping like flies, but hey maybe that is just me

Now Xande, you are a damn fool if you believe that you are going to take me out easily. Everyone who has ever talked about how big they were or how great they were has lost to me. Only TWO men have ever beat me and only one was clear cut, and that was Vlad. I was allowed myself to be distraced by the prescence of my sister whom I thought was dead. I allowed my mind to be set astray and that led to my downfall. The ONLY clearcut lost I have EVER had in the EFW. So the real question here Xande is what makes you think that you change the odds against you? You are a pedestrian in the middle of a WAR! You are going to be nothing more than a casualty at best.

Draven, I know that you have the capability to beat me, and I know that I have the capability to beat you. We both are extremely talented, and are both very dangerous. I say for the time being when we step into this ring lets knock all three of these guys out of the running, leaving BOTH of us in line for the title, so that the title might come back safely to the hands of the James Family. Now as for the clearcut victor. I have as much at stake on this match as you do, and we are indeed closely matched. I have faith in myself and believe that I will win but only time will tell for sure. I will have to hope that this time fate will be with me, if not at least the title will be in the family....

Ariel is cut off quickly as he is kicked down by a group of men. Daniyel is nowhere to be seen

man: What do you want to do with him Radu?

A dark skinned man with Arabian style clothing on, and long lushious dark hair replies with a voice that reaks of evilness

Radu: Beat him some more, tie him up, and take him to the Maleficus. But, if Maleficus wants him he is going to have start showing the dough. Lets see if we cant get Maleficus to double the price of this ....

Radu is cut short as a group of men in black militia clothing overrun Radu's gang, slaughtering all of them but Radu. One of the men steps forward, quickly throws Radu to the ground, puts a boot on his neck, and whips out a .22 caliber with a silencer. The man rips off his mask to reveal himself as non other than Rapier.

Rapier: Maleficus told me you would try something.

Rapier then fires three shots, two into Radu's right arm, and one into his leg. Rapier quickly moves his boot, and throws Radu into the arms of two of his men who hold Radu tightly. Rapier then nails Radu in his jaw, and an cracking sound can be heard as he connects. The two drop Radu on the ground, and then one grabs a rifle, turns it around and knocks Radu out with the butt of the gun.

Rapier then walks over to Ariel, revives him, and then spits on him as him and his group leaves through a tear in the void

Once the last man of their group disappears Daniyel comes up behind Ariel and unties him.

: Where the hell were you!?

Daniyel: I was hiding in the shadows, do not worry if I had any indication what so ever from any of them that you were as good as dead I would have killed them off quickly. But luckily for us it appears that Maleficus wants you alive.

Ariel looks at Daniyel with a look of concern and question

: Is it a good thing?

The scene fades out with those final chilling words
