"Daddy, is the boogie man going to come back?"
( Hayleigh lays tucked in her bed, the covers brought up and under her chin, her hair is loose and almost reaches her shoulders. Angel, her father, bends over and kisses her on the forehead before taking a seat on the bed next to her. )
"No pumpkin, the boogie man isn't going to come back."
"Will you keep me safe?
"Absolutely."
"How?"
I'm going to kill him.
"By giving him the one thing he fears most."
"The boogie man is afraid of something?"
"Of course he is."
"What is he fraid of daddy?"
Me.
"Absolution."
"Whats that?"
"You see pumpkin, the boogie man thinks there isn't a God above watching our every move, he thinks he can just do whatever he wants with no consequences, well what happens at school if you don't follow the rules?"
"I get in trouble, is the boogie man in trouble?"
Big trouble. You see baby, when Daddy is in the ring and I'm wrestling guys like the boogie man, I'm not a nice person. In fact, I'm down right evil, but thats the way of the business."
*giggles*"You not evil."
( Angel reaches out and strokes the side of her face before giving her a tap on the nose. )
"Not to you, but to people like the boogie man, people who try to use my family against me, I can be pretty mean when I want to be. And him coming here like that, trying to scare you and mommy, well he crossed a line pumpkin, a line you just don't cross with me and I promise you that he will forever regret the day he broke that rule."
( Hayleigh sits forward. )
"Cross your heart?"
"Cross my heart."
( Fade.... )
And I hope you die.
So whats your big plan Gib, nail a cross in my yard, scare my wife and hope that it's enough to turn the mind games around on me and get in my head?
Sorry pal, nice try, but it's not going to happen.
You see, if you so much as come near my family, we won't have a match, we won't wrestle for this title, I'll pick up a double barrel shot gun and I'll blow your goddam brains out all over that arena. Think I'm joking?
Try me.
I'm not Steve Awesome or Kristoff Liam Bates, I'm not going to sit back and take it while you try to screw with my personal life, I will strike back and as much as you think you can hurt me I'll hurt you twice as bad.
What you don't seem to understand is, I didn't make friends with your son because I wanted to get in your head, I don't need to, I'm already in there. I already know I can beat you. I already know I can retain this title against you. I don't need Xander in my corner to make you doubt yourself. You do that for me.
I befriended Xander because I feel sorry for him.
Give me whatever reason you want, but he deserved more than a life stuck in your shadow and I've offered it to him, all he has to do is be there when I take you out. And he will be, in my corner, cheering me on because he loves me. Not you. Just like your wife.
Thing is Gib, as much as you want to try and turn this around on me, as hard as I'm sure you'll try to back me into a corner, you can't, because I've already won Gib. Look at you, your in the mask again, your begging me for help, your reciting the same tired threats just like you used to. I put you there because I wanted you there and thats where you'll stay until I say so.
I set you up and now it's time to fall.
But by all means Gib, try to go after my family, try to lay a finger on Shelly, try to frighten my daughter again...
( Slowly we fade in to what appears to be a cometary and Angel, dressed all in black, standing over a grave. The stone is behind him and the name on it can't exactly be seen but we can make out "Loving mother and wife." Angel looks down affectionately at the grave before looking back up at the camera. )
"And you won't be the only one who has to pay for it."
( With those words he takes a rose out of his coat and places it down on top of the stone before he turns and walks away. Fade to black. )
The Devil's greatest trick was convincing the world he doesn't exist, but you do exist don't you? Your going to be standing across the ring from me this Sunday, with your eye on everything I have, everything your going to try and take from me. You think my title will make you happy or even the love of your son? Face it Gib, your lying to yourself, you could take it all, my family, my fortune, my fame and my gold and you still wouldn't be happy because at the end of the day your a broken, bitter little man who no one loves and no one ever will.
Take my life Gib, if that makes you feel better, crucify me in front of all those people for the nCw World Title but it won't make them care, it won't make them love you, it won't make you into who you want to be because you will never be me Gib. You never could be.
I am the Messiah, the Savior, God of nCw, and I will answer the challenge of my brother Lucifer, I will give him the fight he desires but like the Devil, even when you win, you lose, because as much as the Devil wants to be, he never can be God. He will never rule over Heaven and he will never have the praise of the people. You are the Monster, You are the Devil, You are the Beast within and I am the Light that shines through, I will remain steadfast in my mission and I will keep the faith in myself and in my strength.
I will forgive you because you know not what you do. You are ignorant and blind, you are envious and misguided but I will lead you to Salvation. Strike me down and I will rise again. I will be the merciless tide as it washes around you and destroys you. I will be the flood waters that purify and revive you. I will be your Absolution and finally... I will be your Damnation.
Peace be with you.
The end.
Father of all that is merciless
Creates what cannot be more vile
Servants beg their twisted master
To victimize defile
The merciless tide
Consumes and purifies
All those who've done wrong
And believe it's right
Your on the wrong side of a merciless tide
And it's crashing down upon you
On the wrong side of a merciless tide
Up to your throat as it haunts and surrounds you
The merciless tide
Has come to paralyze
All those who've done wrong
And believe it's right
Sink!
You're on the wrong side of a merciless tide
Now it's crashing down upon you
On the wrong side of a merciless tide
Up to your throat as it haunts and surrounds you
On the wrong side of a merciless tide
When your punishment is everlasting
On the wrong side of a merciless tide
Where will you hide, when your fate comes crashing?
The tide has turned on you!
Sink!
