[The scene fades in to show a man who is recognizable across the world, but no more so than right here at this very moment in Sin Wrestling. Even seated he has vibrations of power coming off of him and his dark clothes mimic the darkest regions of his heart. The black boots, black jeans, black button-down shirt and black leather jacket are all accentuated by the wraparound black sunglasses that cover his eyes. The avid viewer of Sin should already know who it is, but if they do not then the golden championship belt that lies across the table next to a glass of scotch should give away the secret just fine. It is Slash, the finest wrestler in Sin Wrestling and its Platinum Champion.]

[Tannon is leaning back in the chair, half facing the camera and half facing the table as he reaches out and takes a slow sip of scotch before licking his lips lightly to let the taste linger before setting the glass down and letting out a small sigh.]

�Hi Draco, I�m back. How�s it goin?�

[He smirks at his own joke as he leans back in his chair, his left index finger tracing the edge of his scotch glass slowly as he speaks in a rather unusually calm conversational tone.]

�Pain�the ultimate judge of a man.

The way he reacts to it and the amount in which he can dish out all helps to determine where he will fall in the grand scheme of things. By the looks of things it will be I who will stand tall and you, Draco, who shall be on his knees begging for scraps.

I cannot even begin to understand the thoughts that must have run through your head as you stand there, thinking how you will accomplish getting by me.

[Tannon grinned as he picked up his drink, sipping slowly before setting it down on the table and leaning back again in his chair with his hands folded across his stomach as he continues to speak out at and towards his rival.]

�Your friends cannot protect you from me Draco. I will demolish you.

You cannot protect yourself from the pain that I told you I would inflict.

What kind of a man are you?

If anyone thinks you can protect them, they're fools. You're a bigger fool if you think you can protect yourself from me and the pain I will inflict.

Are you the type of man who will stop at nothing to protect what he stands for or are you the type of coward who will call a spade a spade and move on?�

[Tannon smirks, the tone in his voice becoming more cold and distant as he speaks, almost threatening Draco through the miles of airwaves.]

�Who knows Draco�who knows how much pain I may cause you, how many loved ones I may cost you before our little war ends.

I would love, love�love�to break you down more and more with each passing minute until you become a fearful and scared little man, worried about every person you know, if perhaps they will be the next one I target.

Nothing in this world would give me more joy then knowing that I have ruined you Draco, ruined your life and ruined your mind. I will be able to tell my children, their children, their children�s children about how I once destroyed a man�s love for wrestling, and his chance at gaining what he so desired, the Sin Wrestling World Championship.

I will tell them how I did it in one night and how you slowly broke down under the pressure.

That is my goal Draco and this week, this week I make it a reality when you and I step forth into that ring and compete for the first time ever.

Can you handle the pressure Draco?

Can you walk in and put your full attention on this match when you worry about other things in life?�

[Tannon slowly leans forward, pulling off his dark shades so that his cold eyes were visible. He tossed the shades onto the table as he picked up his shot glass and took a small sip of scotch, letting the taste linger in his mouth for a moment before swallowing and placing the glass back on the table. He leaned back again and just looked out over his large estate for what seemed like hours before sighing ever so slightly and speaking once again.]

�You�re an interesting character Draco�very interesting.

I try to understand what may be going through your mind right about now and honestly, I haven�t got a clue.

I have some ideas, but the exact thoughts are unknown to me.

Pain�perhaps, but more than likely it is an emotional and mental anguish rather then physical pain.

It pains you to realize that I will show you your true place here.

That place is anywhere below me.

You decided to face your biggest challenge to date.

You chose to come after me and that is something you do not do. I have no choice but to break your will. I refuse to stand by and allow you to take this opportunity from me, what I spent months clawing across the Sin mountain to achieve.

I will do whatever it takes to become World Champion and if it means destroying you, destroying Gwenivere Jordan, destroying Tony Millenia, destroying all that you care for then I will do it.

I will not be stopped and I certainly will not be stopped by a man who, at his peak, will never be worthy of carrying me bags.�

[Tannon's tone is matter-of-fact and genuine and the camera pans back slightly as Tannon leans forward and puts his dark shades back over his eyes. He takes a quick sip of his scotch as he stands up on the patio and, with his Platinum Title on his shoulder, makes his way down the patio steps and on to is expansive backyard as the camera follows closely behind.]

[He continues to speak, his voice towards the camera but his eyes never moving from the sight in front of him as he surveys his place of residence.]

�This is all mine Draco. This is just one of eleven homes that I own. I have gotten to this level of lifestyle because of my abilities within the wrestling ring and have broken down barriers that people told me I would never pass.

I have survived�I have surpassed everyone�s expectations of me except for my own. There is no level I cannot achieve, there is no title I cannot grasp and there is no opponent I cannot defeat. I have not gotten to where I am by losing to has-been champions.

You, Draco, you shall not take this from me.�

[He slaps the Platinum Title across his shoulder once to add to his comment before gesturing outwards towards his lawn, his home and finally the magnificent view on the beach below.]

�You shall not take this chance from me Draco. I have worked too long and too hard to lose now this chance.�

[He sips his scotch again as he continues to walk calmly around his yard, the camera never more than five feet away from him as he moves in hopes of not missing a single comment from the Platinum Champion. Tannon does not speak but rather stands calmly near the cliff as a few minutes pass before he finally speaks out again.]

�I will not be another champion in Sin who cannot do his duty as champion.

They all failed�from JJ Robertson to Regan Chambers�to The Dealer and to Danzig Mortis.

Each champion failed at his duty.

I feel embarrassed of the fact of you becoming World Champion.

You'd make a mockery out of the World Title or any other and I won�t allow you to do it.

The fans may hate me for it, but I will never allow you to wear the World Title.

It will be MINE and I will do whatever it takes to get it around my waist.

That includes ending your career, destroying your life or making your body break under my hands as I send you into retirement bone by damn bone.�

[Having walked around the entire edge of his yard he begins to make his way back towards the patio. His voice was now holding a tone of hate, pain, determination and cold evil all mixed into one.]

�Pain Draco, it�s what I do best and it is what makes me shiver in happiness when I cause it.

I admit to enjoying it just a bit to much. As much as when I ditched that slut of mine.

It felt good as the thud of her body hit that concrete.

It was almost�almost orgasmic in the pleasure I felt. But the pleasure of your pain will be much more intense.

No man should ever enjoy the passing of pain as much as I do, but I cannot help it.

There is something about seeing a woman lying at your feet, broken and in agony�her body motionless except for the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest as she breathes slowly, anguishing in her pain.

There is something about it that turns me on Draco�.it'll fell soooooooooo good to hurt you.�

[Tannon's face, as he reached the patio steps, was now overwhelmed by a sick and sadistic grin as he thought back to the brutal attack from Illusions. He climbed the steps slowly, the camera following, and slowly sank back down into the chair he had raised himself out of moments earlier. He placed both the Platinum Title and his glass of scotch onto the table before leaning back in the chair and letting out a small sigh, still smiling as he spoke once again.]

�No�it felt better than good. It felt perfect. Few things in life feel perfect nowadays Draco, but I am running the gauntlet of perfect feelings lately. I mean�just look at these things and try and tell me they wouldn�t make you moan in desire to accomplish them�

I will make a woman out of you and make you cry.

I will make you fear being out alone because you'll never knew where I'll lurk.

I will make you cry out for help.

I will make you realize that no amount of out cry will help, the Sentinels of Insanity cannot save you.

I will make you cry out in pain from the torture of being cut, spit on, screamed at, hit and broken.

I will lay you across the mat, unconscious, and pin you or make you submit.

I will make your blood touch my lips after I destroy you.

Your blood�will taste good.

Pain�I love it�it feeds me and sustains me.

Time for you to feel the pain that only I can bring�

It is time.� [Tannon smirks and slowly reaches forward, taking the shot glass in his hand and raising it up in mock respect towards the camera.] �Here is to pain�yours Draco�.and the Sentinels of Insanity.� "Are you ready Draco? For some total impact!"

[The camera slowly zooms out and pans away as the sound of Tannon's laughter and the soft clinking of glass on glass as he sets his drink down could be recognized as the scene pauses to show the crashing waves along the beach below Tannon's large estate. It held it�s scene for a moment before finally fading to a piercing black as the sounds of waves crashing against rocks slowly faded into the distance...]

[STATIC]

[Nothing]

END SCENE

Are You Ready? For TOTAL IMPACT!!!
