Lex Sense: You think I don't know what you are capable of?
{The sounds of a bustling airport overtakes your sense of hearing. People are running around trying to make it to their next destination as the camera continues to pan around until it rests on the hooded behemoth himself.}
Lex Sense: I know Angel. I am not a bloody moron. I know exactly what you are capable of but even with that knowledge,...
I wont back down.
You are not much different than the next motherf*cker stepping through nCw's doors claiming to be a monster. Wanting and wishing to be the next big thing.
The only thing that differentiates you from any of them is your legacy.
A history built upon the broken backs of those that fell before you never to rise again. I have seen you commit heinous acts. Gruesome sets of destructive vengeance being perpetrated by your cold heart and iron will are stuffs of legend. Yet, when you talk to me, you sound like a whining child.
This is not about revenge?
Stop being a fool. Of course it is. You came back seeking to reinstate your name back to the glory that it was once synonymous with. The big bad Angel returns to burn the world before him so he could rebuild his own twisted kingdom from the ashes. How very noble. A righteous cause indeed. Even if it is only a self righteous cause.
How very hypocritical of you.
Weren't you the man demeaning me and taking every opportunity to try and screw me because I wanted to do the very same thing you are now? Weren't you the man speaking against those that acted as you are now? Was your loss at my hands really that embarrassing?
You want to make a statement Angel?... Go right ahead.
What do I care? I'm only human after all and in your eyes that makes me weak but you were right about one thing. This isn't about my family. This is about you and I. This is about us ending this one way or another and if you think that tearing me apart is going to be as easy as thinking it then you will be in for a rude awakening. You're not a monster Angel. Just a spoiled child throwing a tantrum because your father refused to let you go outside. I refused to be run over by you and now you seek to outmonster me.
How very childish of you, "monster".
{Sense leans against the baggage handling section of an undisclosed airport. He speaks from under his hood as people pass him by staring at this giant as if he were a would be terrorist.}
Lex Sense: I don't need GOD's mercy.... Or yours.
I just want to end this once and for all and be done with it. You seek retribution then bring it. I'm here all day handing out beatdowns 24/7. I am unafraid by anything you have to state. Any bold statements you make falls on deaf ears. Any idle threats will not be taken seriously. I do not underestimate you Angel. Like I said before, I know what you are capable of. I have experienced it first hand. Just like you've experienced what I'm capable of as well.
You underestimated me once before and we all witnessed how that ended for you.
{Sense pushes off the wall as a little girl, Alicia, comes to a screeching halt in front of him. She breathes heavily from all the running around she's been doing. She stares at the giant man who is her father with an odd smile. He smiles back at her and she playfully sticks her tongue out at him before running away giggling.}
Alice Sense: Did you miss us?
{Alice walks up from the sidelines and stands next to Sense. She has her arms crossed across her chest and she seems a bit nervous standing next to her ex husband. They stand around waiting for their flight back to the states. The hood over Sense's head hides the face and underneath, the face lacks the face paint. His sinister smirk still curls his lip as he turns to face his ex wife.}
Lex Sense: Of course. Why do you ask?
Alice Sense: It never seemed like you cared.
Lex Sense: I was indifferent about many things. Things that I should regret I don't. You, however, drowns my heart with it.
{Alice seems a bit taken aback by his honesty. She seems to get a bit more at ease as she changes her defensive stance into an inviting one.}
Lex Sense: Look, Alice, I haven't been the greatest man to be around but I am trying to change that. I just need to focus. this thing in my brain has left me a bit uneasy and I am facing Angel this weekend. It seems the only time I have control over my emotions is when you are around and I was wondering if you would sit at ringside to help me stay focused?
{The words coming out of Lex's mouth continue to surprise Alice as she scoots just a little closer to him.}
Alice Sense: Match? Should you even be doing that?
Lex Sense: No.
Alice Sense: ... Then maybe you should just stop wrestling right now?
Lex Sense: No.
Alice Sense: You're a stubborn man, Lex. You've always been neglectful but this takes the cake.
{Sense scratches his chin and tilts his head to the side knowing that she was right. Suddenly, two young girls run around his legs and he forgets what he was thinking of as he stares at his twin daughters. They are playing tag or whatever games these kids play nowadays but Lex doesn't care as he just looks at the young girls that share his DNA. His legacy.}
Lex Sense: It's too late to take a step back now. Truth be told, I was going to retire after Road to the Gold but things seem to be out of my control now. Angel is not someone you keep waiting. He's not someone you could run away from. There is no stopping now.
{Alice immediately goes from inviting to annoyed.}
Alice Sense: You wanted us here to try and dissuade you. Subconsciously, you knew I could be the voice of reason. You knew that I would stop you from doing something stupid. I'm telling you to stop now before it's too late. One small hiccup and that thing in your head is going to bur...
{She cuts herself off as she sees Lex bending down to lift one of his girls into his arms. He awkwardly holds her in the air in front of him, almost studying the young thing. He looks into her blinking eyes and realizes that this is the first time he's held one of his daughters. Alice chokes up a little but holds back her tears as she takes her daughter away from him realizing that he wasn't going to listen to anything she had to say. She grabs the other twin's hand as she stares angrily at Lex.}
Alice Sense: You need to realize what is important to you! You have a second chance here to fix your life and maybe repair some of the damage you caused but that's not going to happen if you continue down this self destructive path! Unfortunately, I can't force you to do something you don't want to! Only you can decide for yourself! We are not here to be your crutch! If you want us around, then you have to stop.
{Sense pulls the hood from off his head. The look on his face is not one we've seen before. He displays signs of sincerity. He wishes he can stop but something inside wont let him go. He needs to finish this and he knows the man standing across from him this weekend will not sit idly by as Sense walks away from his destined fate.}
Lex Sense: I can not. It's not done yet.
Alice Sense: Still the same old Lex.
{She turns and walks away in a huff with one daughter in one hand and the other being pulled by her arm. Both Alicia and Alexandria look back to their father sorrowfully. Sense seems to be tearing up himself but he pulls the hood back over his head before one can be sure.}
Lex Sense: No... Not the same.
{Sense's plane's arrival is announced over the p.a.. He grabs the luggage he's been carrying, both physically and metaphorically, as he heads for the gate that leads to his plane.}
Lex Sense: I am not trying to show you something I'm not. I was never acting a role or playing a part. Sure, some of my actions were both foolish and idiotic but I had no control over my emotions. I felt the urge and the desire drove me towards acts of cruelty. I couldn't stop myself. I am what I am and there's nothing you or anybody else could do to change it.
Only I could change it.
You talk as if your victory is guaranteed this Sunday. As if you have all the answers to everything I am going to throw at you. That may very well be the case but even if you walk out victorious, it wont change me and it wont change a damn thing in nCw.
You'll just be another maniac running rampant in his search for dominance.
You want a war?... So be it. Let's go to war. I may not be the most dominant. I may not be a champion. I may not be a monster but I am still a beast that is being pushed back against a wall.
And that's when I'm most ferocious.
{Sense continues to walk down the airport's halls. Headed for the gate. His ex wife walking furiously in front of him. He knows the pain he's caused and wishes to repair it but nothing will be fixed if Angel is there to destroy it once again.}
Lex Sese: This thing between us wont be over because you say it is. This will be over when one of us can no longer compete within a ring. I will not stop Angel. I will come at you from all sides. I will turn your world upside down and leave you laying in a pool of your own blood only to turn it right side up again to force you to shower in it. No mind games. No stalking. No family kidnappings. Just you and me showing the world the true meaning of war.
This is what you wanted. Me at my best so you could dissect my insides for all to see. So nobody could doubt that you are the better man, or should I say monster. So those that watch tremble with fear at the very thought of facing you but you forget....
You have to instill fear in me first.
I will drink from your chalice of insanity. I will eat from your table of madness. I will share in your showers of blood as I take you across my knee one more time to finally end this.
{Sense reaches the gate and immediately the airport's security begin gathering around to check this giant man's person.}
Lex Sense: I will never be one of your kind because I no longer wish to be. There was a time when I looked up to you but that time died the moment I realized that I don't want to be one of your kind,...
I want to be better than your kind.
Better than some mindless giant with no real purpose.
Better than some cruel monster looking to quench his thirst for destruction by laying to waste any man unfortunate enough to stand in my way.
And if I can't accomplish that, then I will die trying.
It's YOU who will never be one of my kind Angel.
{The scene slowly fades away as Sense ducks under the metal detector. You think it's over until the beautiful Dr. Lyons slowly focuses from the darkness on the screen. She's reading over some papers as Lady Die and Guardian sit across from her. She throws the papers aside and they scatter all over the place.}
Dr. Lyons: I can't f*cking believe he would do this. After everything we've done for him.
Guardian: Maybe the dude just need a little time to chill. Ya know. Cool off.
Dr. Lyons: Stop being an idiot musclehead. He knows exactly what he is doing. I knew that bitch Alice would sh*t all over our plans.
Lady Die: We could always let him be? He's never done anything to hurt us.
Dr. Lyons: Listen here you little twat. We helped him make his father dis.... I mean, when his father disappeared. We helped him get out of Menston and we helped him take over his daddy's company. We are entitled to everything we helped create just as much as he is. I want my share.
Lady Die: This is a mistake wench. He's not going to lay down for you or me and I want no part in whatever it is you are planning.
{Lady gets up from her seat and walks out of the office.}
Dr. Lyons: Bitch.... What about you?
Guardian: I'm down for whateva boss lady.
Dr. Lyons: Good. Then we're in.
{Suddenly a man appears out of the side. His back is to the camera, hiding his face, and before he could step into the light, fade to black.}
