Fade in…..
Opening visual.. The Old West…panning down from the sky,
with a spanning view of the horizon we are treated to mountains in the distance
and a nearly lifeless plain before us… The breeze picks up as sand is blown up
and around, marring our vision… but we can make out, next to a large boulder
the shape of a man, dressed in the garb of the old west… holding a guitar… the
wind and the music blur together….
Cue music – Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi.
…We move down, closer, circling this person who picks up
the tempo slowly, the air filled with dust, tone and an ominous feeling.
From the lower end of the screen a second ‘picture in
picture’ begins to fade in It’s in black
and white and starts to enlarge as we move away from the performer… A tumble weed floats into the picture, and as
it comes into contact with the smaller screen, it falls into it.. changing to
B&W and tumbling against a worn leather boot…. We follow the boot up…..to
see Chamelion, in torn and worn out cloth from the past, a dark brown dusty
cowboy hat upon his brow, as he opens his eyes…turn to color.
“I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night’s bed
..He walks with a stumbled pace, staring a head of him as
the land before his stretches on indefinitely.
His hands grip into fists at his side, partially covered in a torn shirt
that is wrapped around each one like make shift band aides.
…I don’t know where I’m going
Only I’s knows where I’ve been
..He stares back behind him, as is he’s looking for
someone.. being chased perhaps.. hunted.
I’m a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind
He fades behind the foliage, as if magically disappearing
from site.
Yeah!
Fade to a new place, present time, inside the Sommers Gym,
with Chamelion leaning against the white brick wall, wrapping his hands in
boxing tape. A parallel to the look of
before, as he prepares to do battle in the ring.
When you’re brought into this world
They say you’re born in sin
Well
at least they gave me something
I didn’t have to steal or have to win.
..He turns his gaze upon the white brick wall, as we pan
back to see a poster for Rise of Tyranny, with Chamelion prominently displayed
and Lisa Lorenzo to one side with her bitter gaze, and Platinum on the other, a
determined look gleaming in his eyes.
Well
they tell me that I’m wanted
Yeah I’m a wanted man
He reaches up, caressing the glossy paper, staring at the
imagines laid before him.
I’m colt in your stable
I’m what cain was to abel
He grabs the edge of the poster.
Mister catch me if you can!!!!
And he viciously rips it down from the wall.
Hard cut to Chamelion against Makaveli and the Rupture from
twenty feet in the air. They hit hard in
timing….
I’m going down in
a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
He rolls in pain… covering the challenger..1..2..3!
I’m going out in a
blaze of glory
Cut to Chamelion crashing through the glass pain as
Lord I never drew
first
But I drew first blood
…Cracking his opponent over the head with the glass light
tube in the first blood match!
I’m no one’s son
Call me young gun
…and a close view of his battered face after the fatal four
way in
You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
..and he pushes the electrical equipment into the water…
the shock blacking out the screen. CUT
You ask if I’ll
grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I’ll grow old
…In the doctors office with Sandra and Raizzor as he’s
given the news that he’ll never wrestle again….
You ask me if I
known love
And what it’s like to sing songs in the rain
…Then in the back ally, as he takes the potion offered by
the CABAL to cure him of his ailment.. and the subsequent change in what
Chamelion is and was… the dark green sparkle of his eyes turned cold blood.
Well, I’ve seen
love come
A cut to Jamie Havoc returning to the embrace of Lisa
Lorenzo.
And I’ve seen it
shot down
Lorenzo turning on Havoc, siding with the Vulgar Display of
Power.
I’ve seen it die
in vain
Close up of Chamelion hitting a super kick on another.
Shot down in a
blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
Thunderwolf taking Chamelion out with the Cry of the Wolf.
’cause I’m going
down in a blaze of glory
…In the Bloodlust cage match with Payton Strader, as
Strader bleeds profusely and Chamelion stalking him from behind.
Lord I never drew
first
But I drew first blood
The famous wicked grin adorns his face as he stands in the
fore shadow of a car crash, taking Jacob Moore from the HiC!
I’m the devil’s
son
Call me young gun
Solo.
Chamelion in his match against Showtime, then twist to Lex
Demise. Subsequent cuts from various
matches, seeing both Chamelion performing with amazing skill and speed, and
other times, bleeding and broken on the mat.
His life in the HiC going from the top carrying the Tempest title and
then the defining moment of his career.. as he stumbles and falls dead to the
ground in his match with Woondang… and what would seem like the end of
everything.
All goes to dark as the music slows down.
Fade in to a flash of a match being struck….and the glow of
dancing figures on the wall of an old style cabin back in the old west… the match
touches the tip of a candle, illuminating Chamelion in it’s dancing light. It’s
Each night I go to
bed
I pray the lord my soul to keep
He folds his hands in prayer, looking up towards the
heavens….
No I ain’t looking
for forgiveness
But before I’m six foot deep
He speaks, his voice muted as the words of the song match
what he says…
“Lord, I got to
ask a favor
And I’ll hope you’ll understand
’cause I’ve lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
…Pan up, fade and into the ring… now.. As Chamelion stands
dead center, in wrestling gear….
Staring down the
bullet
Let me make my final stand…
Holding the HiC World Heavyweight Championship over his
head.
Shot down in a
blaze of glory
The Rupture on Showtime…1…2…3!
Take me now but
know the truth
In the ring, locked in conflict with Platinum!
I’m going out in a
blaze of glory
A glimpse of being pinned by his Brother, Raizzor.
Lord I never drew
first
Then a twist glance of him rolling Raizzor up for the
But I drew first
blood
And then Chamelion, alone, no one else in sight as he’s
back in the middle of the ring.
And I’m no one’s
son
And he turns towards us….
Call me young gun
And he smiles…..
I’m a young gun
A bleed over to him smiling and both Lisa Lorenzo and
Platinum silhouetted against the HiC World Title…..cut back to the man in the
old west, close up on his hands on the strings of the guitar…. As he brings
this scene, this story… slowly to a close… and as the light fades from the
scene…
So do we.
