[Abyss]

-Man on the edge plays fireworks explode on the rampway. The crowd give a standing ovation as Abyss walks onto the stage,in a leather great coat, flexing his arms. He points to one side of the crowd getting huge cheers then the other side . He walks down the ramp and the ramp lights up with a fire trail that follows where he walks. He slides into the ring and the fire trail dies down. A ring hand hands him a mic.-

-Abyss-

“I have come here before you for the very first time. I have come to talk to you about my fatal four way match against three superstars who’s chances of surviving are pretty slim. Who should I start with? Perhaps this Herod character…”

“A so called champion of the people. To me he’s just another shady character. A man hiding behind a mask. I think he thinks he’s some kind of super hero. But I respect those who fight for the people. The mask isn’t honestly needed but that is his choice, if he wants to remain hidden. Herod, this man likes to fly. I can see that. But he will be flying when we tangle, just not intentionally.”<br>
“Sometimes I can fight good and bad but then that depends if the situation calls for it. People will always go to all lengths to win matches. I don’t have to try hard sometimes. It’s all about preparation in some cases. And whether you’re headstrong enough to win. Whether you will give up or you’ll resist to the end. That is where victory lies, determination. Herod do you have the determination to beat us three? Cause only if you do can you beat us.”<br>
“I think the bookers favor me in some way, making my debut one for a championship. I could be the first Hardcore champion here. But like everything that is worth anything, it has to be earned. Herod that means going through you and I will go through you as if you weren’t there. Because no matter how high you fly, you can’t escape me. I don’t like to let people escape. Get the job done then and there my friend. That way you don’t have to worry about it later. Better to be safe then sorry. As it is said.”<br>
“Herod your first chance I’m afraid shall be a waste. I’m not a man to be taken lightly and after all I’m playing for something I’m after. And I play to win under any circumstances. You keep that in mind.”<br>
“Goldberg, meh, what can I say? You’re here, and once again, as always you’re ready to kick ass. Unfortunately mine won’t be one of them. Resistant to the end am I. As you’ll see when you can’t spear a scorpion. Then what will you try to do? Jackhammer me? Well, you’ll find it equally hard to land that one on me as well. I’ll evade it quicker than you can say Rising sun.”<br>
“Goldberg this is how the event will go. I’ll swing, you’ll fall. Easy enough for you to understand? We all know how hard it is for someone like you to understand such simple commands. I just hope you understood that. Because that is essential if I’m going to win. Technical wrestling overpowers brute strength. Get the idea. Basic law pretty simple infant school stuff, or whatever your American equivalent is.”<br>
“Alright, time to stop pissing about. You probably are more intelligent than you look. Or at least some people think. You’ve had your accomplishments. And I am yet to earn mine. This match, my debut shall bring my first accomplishment, the ExWA hardcore title. And you have the thought of getting in my way and stopping me wrapping it around my waist. Well think again mate. You can’t stop me not yet. Not just yet…”

“There is adrenalin flowing though someone’s veins. And that somebody wants something. That somebody is me. Goldberg, after viewing your tape, you keep repeating that you are gonna be the best hardcore superstar EXWA has ever seen. I know, and everyone else knows that you can’t be. The hardcore legend is among us and I respect what he has done. Goldberg have you not seen this person? Have you not seen what he has accomplished? Well, he’ll probably show us one hell of a show. But of course I’m gonna beat him. I’m the best in that ring and everyone here thinks so. Am I right?”<br>
The crowd cheer

“Goldberg this hardcore environment, you may enjoy it. No rules, just pure pain in any physical form. But what will happen to you, you won’t enjoy. Just a little education in the way of hardcore. We’ll teach you how to really be Hardcore.”<br>
“Last on my list, Reaper. The so called Hardcore legend. I respect you for what you can do but you are a little crazy for my tastes. You are one sick bastard some times and I don’t like it one little bit. You claim to have beaten the best and the rest but you haven’t beaten me. And I’d like to see you try. You are too old for this sort of thing. You should quit while you’re still the hardcore legend, not the Hardcore pensioner. That’s the worst thing that I could imagine happen to you Reap, but I’m sure you don’t want that to happen.”<br>
“You have performed a few nifty stunts Reap, I’ll admit that. You’ve fought your guts out and bled more than anyone I’ve known. You seem to thrive from pain. Well, if that is indeed the case you will be one guy that won’t go down and stay there. You’ll be the hardest to beat. But life’s never easy. So I don’t see why you should make a difference.”<br>
“You’ve been to the top of the business. And now you’re going back to where you came from. You’ve even developed a mental problem slash split personality on your quest, whoop-de-doo. There isn’t a person here I think who has problems with it. You should understand that. And you should understand that your fears are only just beginning to show. Abyss, will come and lose you into an abyss, and abyss of Sorrow and pain. The rising scorpion is ready for you Reap. Are you ready for it?”<br>
-man on the edge plays as Abyss drops the mic and raises his arm. The crowd cheer. He drops it, rolls out of the ring and leaves.-

[Herod]

Due to Writers Block, Laziness, and School Work I have been Unable to Roleplay for this macth. I thank you for the title shot. The HaRdCoRe Title isnt worth pushing your school work, friends and family out of the way for. Its just going to be taken by some noob after....

I know I asked for a Macth and I thank you. I realise that you gave me a title shot and I gave it up. If you don't give me a title shot again, I don't blame you. I Probaly don't deserve one...

I would'nt just not show up for a macth without a proper explanation. Hence the reason of this post.

Again, Thanks for the Title Shot Anyways.

- Herod

[Reaper]

The scene is set and another dark room. I figure is sitting in a large golden chair with his back to a large window, with no glass in it. A storm is brewing outside and it has already begun to rain. The person in the chair has in his hand a wine glass with a red liquid inside, probably red wine. He makes a gesture for the camera to come closer, which it does.

Voice

“Automated cameras…wonderful thing.”<br>
A streak of lightning flashes and the face behind the mask of the iron man is seen.

“And now the cards are all in my favor. I’m now in my own world. I am going to fight in my specialist technique, Hardcore. My first efforts here went unwanted. People just can’t accept my skill. But now, I’ll show them what I can do. When I’m playing in my yard I’m hard to stop. Hardcore environments are basically my heaven. And a few people are going there this week.”<br>
“Three people have been sent to their execution at my hand this week. Goldberg, Herod, and Abyss. Three with a goal, and three that won’t reach it.”<br>
Another lightning flash. The rain falls harder. The iron man takes a sip of his drink. As soon as he pulls the glass from his face a bolt of lightning strikes the windowsil.

“The unfortunately under-aged…hah hah hah. You three guys are too young to suffer the way you are. And you almost even have my pity. But unfortunately, business is business, and a paycheck’s and paycheck. And of course, I get to brutalize all three of you. What the hell is going on? Has the devil himself made a package that anyone like me would be retarded to decline? Probably so. This will feel so good when I beat all three of you. Sometimes pain can be dangerous for your health, as long as you’re not inflicting it. If you are inflicting it…heh heh…you’re practically immune. Immunity from pain isn’t something I want. I thrive from it, let It come to me. I want you three to bring it to me. And watch me thrive from it in my environment.”<br>
“Goldberg said something that disturbs me. He mentioned something about being the best at hardcore…and my name was no-where near that sentence. What is going through his big dumb head? I’m the man who made hardcore what it is! I am an embodied form of the hardcore God! So Goldberg get down on your knees and worship me!”<br>
The iron man raises out of his chair and throws his glass rather violently at a fireplace on one side of the room. You hear a large explosion noise then there is question to what it was Reaper was drinking. He’s furious.

Ian Dawe: What the hell was he drinking?

“Goldberg you have no frigging idea what the hell I am have you? You dumb fuck!!”<br>
Reaper puts his foot through his golden chair in rage. He begins to breathe heavily and walks over towards the fire place. There is another golden chair there by a table. The chair is parallel to the fireplace. Reaper sits in it.

“I’m tired of your insolence…and everyone else’s. I’m sick of it. It’s time you lot have had a lesson in punishment. It’s time I taught you respect. I’ll start by showing you how to really be hardcore. I’ll start by brutalizing you all…heh heh heh heh hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah”<br>
Reaper puts his hands together and starts strumming his fingers together ala Monty Burns.

“Heh heh…excellent…”

A lightning bolt flashes by the window illuminating the grinning face of Reaper. He gets up and begins walking in a direction nearly towards the camera.

“…excellent…”

He goes to a set of large doors. For a quick second you can see the figure of someone else on the other side. The camera switches itself off and a second of momentary snowstorm is on the action vision. The screen returns following Reaper down a long candle lit corridor.

“…excellent…”

Ian Dawe: What’s excellent?

“More souls for my master to dissect. Heh heh…Goldberg my master isn’t pleased with you. He does not want you displeasing him again. That’s where I come in. I eliminate his problems. Simple package Goldberg. Pure business, gets me paid, gets me through the days, gives me enjoyment. Can’t lose really can I? That’s a similar arrangement to our match isn’t it? I can’t lose. None of you are capable enough of beating me I’m sure of it. After all I am legendary. Have any of you come even as close to me as one of the best? I didn’t think so. And you’ll see what difference that makes in the match.”<br>
Reaper starts climbing some stairs.

“Goldberg the road to the top is like these stairs. Hard and bumpy. But to me it is as easy as climbing them. You will struggle on your path my friend. I will make sure of it. That’s a guarantee Goldberg. And I fill guarantees, heh heh it’s true.”<br>
He reaches the top of the stairs and proceeds into another room. The camera switches off again and another snowstormy Interlude takes place. The screen re-awakes in a large chamber. It starts as a raised camera. There are candles on stands dotted around in files, and a white apocalyptic star on the floor. Reaper walks in and stands in the middle of the star. Then all the lines alight with a blue flame around him.

“Protection as long as you’re in the middle. Goldberg you are on the outside. Protection free, unless you pay his way in. I’m on the inside protected by…oh I don’t know what. But something is protecting me. And that something guarantees me the title. I know I say this a lot but Goldberg your time is close at hand. Your prime has gone and now it’s time for your demise. A wonderful word that, demise. Something that you Goldberg shall experience first hand. Some gift that I will present to you myself Goldberg. And I hope you will be happy for it.”<br>
The flames die down and Reaper begins walking towards the camera.

“Because if people don’t accept my gifts…then I get upset. And when I get upset I get a certain look on my face. And when I get that look…”

His face is right up to the camera.

“People get hurt. Goldberg you are one of those people who’ll get hurt. Personally guaranteed Now prepare to face some one better that you. Preparation is the key. Because when we last met I wiped the floor with you. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Goldberg you are a well made superstar and it’s time for me to demolish you. Time to break you down. And Count you out. Because Goldberg, YOU’RE NEXT!!”<br>
The camera switches itself off again and another short intermission. The camera suddenly returns to an eye.

“YOU’RE NEXT!!”<br>
The camera switches off. Another interlude. The camera restarts in a room with grey smoke which seems to be spiraling to a hole in the floor.

“Meet the Abyss. My abyss.”<br>
Something that is definitely not human sweeps past the screen.

“This is a place where only the strongest or most adept live. Someone like me. That may not be a definition of Abyss but that is what my Abyss is. You want to be slung into it Abyss? I know it can get confusing talking about Abyss’ but soon enough you will get the idea.”<br>
The camera switches to another on the other side of the Abyss. Reaper stands on a bridge. Looking down into the pit.

“ Abyss you are thinking that I am indeed to old and should step down for future generations to become the next icons. Well to That Abyss I say fuck off. Why should I step down when I can still whoop ass just like I used to. And I’ll help you to understand that, when I decimate you. You won’t know the meaning of hardcore until I’ve had my way with you.”<br>
He raises his head, and looks into the camera.

“You’re soul will be mine Abyss. And after I’m finished with it, that’s where it’s going.”<br>
he starts pointing and poking towards the Abyss while looking at the camera.

“Down there…where only my master can bring it back.”<br>
He holds a half-clenched palm towards the camera and it starts shaking. He grins sadistically and it falls off it’s perch.

Ian Dawe: How does he do that?

The camera begins sliding across the floor and falls into the Abyss. After a couple of seconds it’s transmission is cut and another camera switches itself on. Reaper is still in the same position as he was when he ‘tossed’ the camera down the pit. He slowly lowers his arm and looks back towards the wall.

“Abyss you have shown knowledge of my legendary feats. But still you think they are nothing to worry about. How more wrong can you be. We are in my environment. We are playing by my rules. So you’d best get used to it. Because when I play in my yard I usually win. As a sniper finds his target, I have found my victim. As a sniper aims at his targets, I’m aiming at my target. And as a sniper is about to strike, I’m preparing to strike. Abyss as I said with Goldberg you’d better prepare yourself for my might. When I run you down there is no way back. No way to stop me driving you into the dust. And that is the hard bit about life my friend.”<br>
He turns to the camera.

“Someone’s always trying to bring you down. But When I try, I succeed. Keep that in mind when we fight.”<br>
Reaper holds this half clenched fist towards the camera and he ‘tosses’ this one into the pit. After a short while the screens comes back in an elevator With Reaper in it. His back is to the camera, which is on the wall opposite the door.

“Well, Abyss there’s a few sentimental words about you. How about we pay a trip to my armory? Seeing as Hardcore has weapons… “<br>
The elevator stops. Reaper leaves and the camera switches to another. We can see a room decorated with various weapons(close combat).

[Reaper]

“I have my prized weapons. This here.”<br>
He picks up slater.

“This is the weapon I made famous. Slater the cheese grater. My faithful companion since my second match. This little thing has won me many hardcore style matches. Pray you don’t meet him. Next…”

he puts down Slater and picks up a cinderblock and a brick.

“Cindy the cinderblock and Rick the brick. Rick is a new mod but Cindy, well, I end gamed an opponent onto her. And there will be more to follow. Rick though can be used in a similar fashion. Next…”

He puts these down and picks up a lead pipe.

“Lenny the lead pipe. New…but still valuable. I’d love to see him wipe some of that face paint off your face. But now for my most prized of the new weapons.”<br>
He puts down the pipe and picks up a quarter-staff. There are red handles and Gold rims on the top, bottom and between the handles. Dotted up one side are apocalyptic stars. On top is a golden figurine of a robed figure, with it’s head cloaked by a hood. Like a grim Reaper.

“Something that HBK made himself. For the pair of us hooligans to use. He’s still an anarchist at heart. But Abyss the point of this is to teach you what to expect as soon as you step into a hardcore arena with Reaper, The Iron Man, me. You were doomed as soon as I laid eyes on you Abyss. Your soul belongs to me.”<br>
he puts down the quarter-staff and enters the elevator. The camera switches off. It returns as the same as the one in the elevator.

“Herod. A man who disgusts me. A man who fights for who he thinks really are behind him. A so called hero of the people. Herod, do you know why I went bad? Before all of the switching persona crap why Reaper went for the people against the people? Because of the sheer fact…”

the elevator stops.

“They left him for dead when all hope was almost lost. Herod the fans aren’t people you can trust, there is no one in the world that you can rely upon. I learned that a long time ago. People fail each other time and a time again. But of course, some people you can trust. Masters…and closer friends.”<br>
The door opens and a butler offers Reaper a drink of more red liquid. Reaper takes and pats the butler on the head. We are in a large wooden room with a staircase going up through the roof. This room has a door on the far side decorated richly in jewels.

“Herod we are near the end of the tour, almost. Behind this door is nothing for outsiders to see. You are on the outside, just like Goldberg. You though, being a hero of the people are just about stupid enough not to care, or even understand. The game I have chosen t live me life by is all about survival of the fittest. And by survival of the fittest, you need all the qualities, strength, speed, intelligence, endurance, and of course one normal style doesn’t have, the will to bring your opponents close to their untimely demise. You Herod won’t have all of those. You don’t have intelligence or the will. And that is why you’ll fail to beat me. It’s a hard law but that’s how life goes on.”<br>
The sound of thunder is heard. A light starts emitting from a machine not seen on the right.

“Hm, lightning struck the tower. Been a long time since that happened. Even in this continual storm.”<br>
A muffled excellent is heard. Reaper grins and the camera switches off. After the intermission the camera returns as one up on a wall above the staircase. The lightning machine can be seen clearer now and Reaper stands looking at the other camera. Another room can be seen.

“Herod, you like to fly, but that isn’t enough. I like rising, and causing others to fall. People have fallen to the knees because of me and soon they shall do it again. You and the other two will be the first in a new era for the Reaper to bring plague to. Herod you and the other two will be the first to fall to me here in ExWA, but I guarantee you won’t be the last. You’ve fallen into the Demons eyes and he now stalks you as his prey. You cannot fly enough to escape my fury. And it will decimate you like it has done to those before you.”<br>
Reaper begins to make slow movement towards the camera.

“Those who did fall had their admiration. Those who thought that they were the best were indeed decimated by me.”<br>
He walks past the camera and further up the stairs.

“And you shall too have your admiration.”<br>
The camera switches off and another in a white room turns on. Reaper stands in the center.

“ Herod now our encounter is drawing near. And soon it will be a time to decide whether or not you wanna stay for the ride. The road will be a long, hard and bumpy one but you might just make it, in one hell of a long time. And hopefully, you’ll understand…”

As he says each word the camera angle changes around his head in a zoomed in fashion.

“You…won’t…beat…me…and…never…will…You…will…never…be…the…most…legendary…hardcore…wrestler….in…history…”

The camera goes back to it’s regular intermission phase. Then returns on a rooftop. The moon is behind a large tower and a set of shutters fly open. Reaper emerges out.

“And never forget Herod…I’M THE BEST THERE IS! THE BEST THERE WAS! AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE!! HAVE A NICE DAY!!!”<br>
Reaper laughs evily and the camera falls back. Lightning repeatedly flashes behind Reap who is still laughing and doesn’t intend to stop. The funeral march can be heard slightly. The camera fades to black…


(Nice to warn us Herod. BUT I never thought of the title that way. Thank God there's been a shortage of coursework for me LOL)
