[Cut Backstage.]
[Just minutes before the double debut match between "Awesome" Andy O'Brien and The Scythe Meister, The Awesome One's agent Mr. Brown is busy preparing a coffee for both he and O'Brien - apparently, Mr. Brown has heard that last minute caffeine intake can act as an extra stimulus during a rigorous bout of exercise...]
[In other words, someone has been telling Mr. Brown one or two mistruths...]
[As Mr. Brown adds milk to both cups, before giving them a good stir, many of the viewers begin wondering exactly WHY we're witnessing this... err... unspectacular event. Well, you're about to find out.]
[Coming round the corner is none other than The Scythe Meister - and as Mr. Brown spots the disfigured superstar, he immediately begins trembling, spilling coffee all over his hand.]
[BROWN]: Aww, damn it!
[Mr. Brown drops the cups, and nurses his scolded hand. Meanwhile, The Scythe Meister advances toward the nervous agent, eyes narrowed. Mr. Brown laughs nervously.]
[BROWN]: Hehe... Err... Hi there! Umm... So what's up? I mean... Good luck in your first match tonight, Scythey... Err, Scythe Meister...
[As Mr. Brown continues to stumble over his words, The Scythe Meister walks even closer to the agent extraordinaire, until they are practically face to face. Still, The Scythe Meister remains silent.]
[BROWN]: So, umm... Can I help you? Would you like some coffee?
[Scythe Meister says nothing, but merely stares into the eyes of the panicking Mr. Brown.]
[BROWN]: Umm, so... NOW!
[And as soon as Mr. Brown shouts, "Awesome" Andy O'Brien appears out of nowhere with a steel chair in hand - and as Scythe Meister turns, startled, Andy delivers a VICIOUS chair-shot to the head, busting him open - wide open. As Scythe Meister staggers back, dazed, Mr. Brown moves, allowing him to tumble back onto the coffee table. He then looks up at Andy.]
[BROWN]: Let's get the Hell out of here!
[And with that, the two disappear, knocking the camera out of the hands of the cameraman as they do so.]
[PAGE]: MY GOD! Did you see that? The Scythe Meister is out, at the hands of Andy O'Brien and his agent!
[McCOY]: That was great!
[PAGE]: We need to get another camera back there to see what is happening.
[Cut to a promo for The Crusade For The Chosen One.]
[Back.]
[PAGE]: Folks, we're just moments away from the match between Scythe Meister and "Awesome" Andy O'Brien, but we're not sure about the condition of one of the superstars! Let's get backstage where we have another cameraman waiting.
[Another cameraman speeds to the scene of the attack, to see the original cameraman down, his camera pretty much smashed - but The Scythe Meister is nowhere to be seen!]
[McCOY]: HUH?? Where the heck'd he go?
[PAGE]: I... I have no idea!
[The new cameraman looks up, and heads in the direction Andy O'Brien and his agent apparently went. Running, he soon catches up with them, outside their locker room.]
[O'BRIEN]: Oh MAN that was great! Y'know, I reckon this match is in the bag, after THAT! There's no WAY he'll be able to compete!
[BROWN]: Yeah, it couldn't have worked out any better than tha---
[Mr. Brown falls silent as he opens the locker room door and walks inside. There, on the wall facing them, is a message written in large writing - seemingly done in blood.]
Revelations 6:8
[Mr. Brown turns, as if he's about to be sick, while Andy looks absolutely stunned.]
[Back to ringside.]
[PAGE]: WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON???
[McCOY]: Did Scythe Meister write that if so what does it mean?
[PAGE]: No way! It's not possible! Or is it?
[McCOY]: Then who did?
[PAGE]: I... I'm confused! And folks, it's nearly time for their match! We will try and find out the meaning of that message.
