“My victims are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak, I cause millions of accidents, I am cancer in your bones, I fathered the lie, twist what you say, speak not the truth, I am insidious, impartial, deep inside your chromosomes, I take what you love, and leave you in tears, I imprison your soul, your hopes are my games, I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain, While you burn at the stake, I dance with the flames, I bring poverty, sickness and death, A worthless handshake, the slickest thief, I steal your wealth, I answer your prayers for greed and lust, More than evil, I laugh at your trust, I am more powerful than all the armies of the world, I am more violent than violence, more deadly than death I have destroyed more men than all the nation's wars, I am relentless, unpredictable, waiting for your last breath” -Dave Mustaine
Chapter 2 - “The evil that men do...”
Chapter 2 - “The evil that men do...”
“Last month Adam, last month you begged Trent Helms to fight for something other than himself, you begged him so “set himself free”. I wonder is that what you wish of me?. As it stands I fight for NCW, I fight for the company that once was, I fight for the company that allows me to be an obnoxious loudmouth, in fact they don’t just allow it, they pay me for it. I fight for freedom, what do you fight for Adam?. I think we already know the answer. You fight for yourself, for a selfish purpose driven by a need for attention....”
“....You fight for that little Adam Knite inside whose daddy wouldn’t play catch and whose mommy was too busy “watchin her stories” on the TV. You need the attention now so you’ve made the NCW “all about Adam”. You and Angel have got everyone’s attention now, and what have you done with it?. You’ve used the time to ramble on about how you and Trent wanted the same thing, for NCW to stand up against the Revolution and strike you down. What bull****, you could have ended all this Adam, but you didn’t...and why?...because you love the spotlight....”
“You love the power...”
The scene finally opens with AJ Phoenix standing in a crowded city square, people go about their lives moving passed him as AJ just stands still almost not moving at all. He stands in a pair of baggy blue jeans and a zipped up black hooded “Resistance” sweatshirt, the hood pulled over a baseball cap.
“You try to make yourself out to be a martyr, some kind of sacrificial lamb for NCW right?. It’s a lie. You have it all now, like some kind of demented royalty. You have your “queen” by your side with all the power in the world. You have an army to do your bidding. But remember this Adam, your empire will fall. See I’m done sitting on the sidelines waiting for this to simply implode, cause it won’t, you and the others have to be stopped. And I can stop it. I could have stopped it from the beginning. “
“There’s nothing you can do to me that will stop me from coming for you Adam. The punch on the nose?, the busting me open?, it was meant to be a message wasn’t it?, a warning?. Well all it did was prove something. It proves to me that you know I’m a threat, a threat you’re going to try and eliminate. Sorry Adam, but it won’t be that easy. This war is going to get desperate, do you really want Kelly involved?. In these kinds of situations there’s always collateral damage. Weak people could get caught in the crossfire. I was going to use the word “innocent” but you and I both know Kelly Fox is far from...innocent...”
“And to be clear this isn’t a threat...it’s a warning...Although do you really know what I’m capable of?. “
A smile comes across AJ’s face as he keeps standing still in the crowd as they move passed him.
“In a war like this even good men can use underhanded and evil tactics. To win this I realise I have to resort to things that may be against my nature. See I don’t go into matches to hurt people and put them out of action, cause I know to take someone out not only punishes them but punishes their family. But this time I may have to, I may have to go into this match with the mindset that I’m not going out there to simply beat you, I’m going out there to HURT you......”
“You and I have been put into a certain light. It seems that people see us as leaders. In fact the “buzz” is that you stepped up and took Lance Ryan’s place and I took Spike Kane’s. If you and I are indeed the “leaders” then this match is indeed bigger than just you and me. If I win, if I can destroy you in front of the world, the resistance can get a little piece of NCW back, that first piece Adam, that first piece of ground after a big push from the trenches is always the hardest to get and the most important. My men need inspiring. They need to know that all is not lost, that this...darkness you’ve brought upon NCW will end. This is our chance and our time to shine, it’s our time to bring NCW back, it’s our destiny to do this, the revolution will not stand in my way Adam, you will not stand in my way. When I look across the ring at you I won’t see another competitor, another warrior, I’ll see a simple man who’s hunger and lust for power is proving to be a cancer eating away at all that is pure and good in this company and this business. ..”
AJ sighs deeply and closes his eyes trying to relax, his passion overtaking his sense....
“It didn’t have to be this way, it could have been different. It could have been noble. Two great performers stepping in the ring going at it, two men from the great state of Texas who are at the top of their game coming together, but instead we’re going to have a fight born of hatred and anger. A fight that is neither pure or noble. It will be a bloodbath. And trust me Adam, blood will flow. I will stand in a puddle of your blood, raise my fist in the air and proclaim victory...you will be the first victim on the road to redemption.....and remember Adam, in the end, evil is only a word....and actions speak louder than words.....”
AJ smiles and looks down as the scene fades
