Darkness, nothing but darkness. A weird humming chant is heard in the background, just humming.
Click!
A light flashes on overhead, a smokey granite like floor is seen, the smoke slowly drifting around the hard floor. Footsteps are heard walking in the distance, until a leg is seen in the circle of light shining down. The camera moves up the body to see Hot Stuff Mark Ward, wearing torn blue jeans and a shirt with an English flag wrapped around.
HS: Oh shit been a while since I've been here.
Another man walks in to the circle of light, his eyes as red as blood, his hair slicked back with skin peeling from his pale skin face.
HS: Hello Satan
Satan: Hello Mark, it has been a while.
Hot Stuff stares Satan up and down.
HS: Yeah, I remember. Last time I saw you, superkicked your arse in to some burning lava.
Satan turns around, pushing his hands together and snorting.
HS: You look different, done something new with your hair Luci?
Satan: People change appearence after eight years or so Mark. Well, you're the exception to the rule, you got the same hairstyle, the same torn blue jeans, the same shirts that show you're proud to be English.
HS: Same superkick
Satan: Same everything.
Hot Stuff rubs his chin, looking at the man.
HS: So you invade my dreams again, you only do that when you wanna put further down in my head, so come on, let's hear it, so I can go back to dreaming of boobs.
A smiles crosses the face of Satan, as he walks around Hot Stuff in a circle
Satan: It's like you know me so well Mark.
HS: I've had the pleasure of meeting you a few times Luci.
Satan: Well Mark, I have to ask you a question. I know in your mind you doubt what you're doing, what you plan on doing to Kain, I know you're not sure if it's the right thing to do, but as I'm the curious type, I gotta ask ya. What makes you think you can destroy Kain? I mean, I thought I made that one very strong, the new you in fact.
Hot Stuff smirks
HS: Behave yourself Luci, you couldn't get a new me. It's simple my fiendish little hellraiser, Kain isn't good enough to lace my boots let alone replace me in any aspect of my life. Let's be honest, he had to brainwash some stupid chick just to get in her knickers for the last god knows how many years.
Satan: Please refrain from using that G word. Don't wanna talk about my father.
Hot Stuff smiles
HS: Daddy issues?
Satan: Only for the past couple of thousand years.
Hot Stuff nods
HS: Yeah, I've seen Supernatural
Satan: That show is more accurare than people know.
Hot Stuff shrugs
HS: So you brought me here to ask me why I know I can destroy the monster that is Kain.
Satan shrugs at Hot Stuff
HS: I make a living out of it, I make a living out of destroying what I know will turn out bad.
Satan: Please! You're talking like one of those Winchester boys. You know they're not real, right?
HS: Yeah, but it's the same sort of thing. I hunt evil, even though I'm hated for being better than the rest, I hunt evil, I destory threats. Kain is a threat not only to me, but the world, to everyone in it. You can sit there and put evil in to all your little terrorists and shit like that, but Kain, he was created to harm the world.
Satan smiles
Satan: I am rather proud of him
HS: I bet you are, he's your kind of guy, but here's how I see it. I'm in business, I run a place where I can legally stop Kain from hurting another human life, and in twenty years time, when he has put more bodies on a slab, ruined more lives, people will ask me why I didn't stop him when I had the chance.
Satan: You'll be fifty three
HS: And I will still look fucking amazing.
Satan: You know, all this talk is making you sound very "face". That's the right term, correct?
HS: Hmmmm.
Satan: You must be losing your touch.
HS: Nah, he's just a bigger dick then I am.
Satan: You still haven't answered my question.
HS: I did. He's a threat to everyone who comes near him, and someone's gotta take the glory for stopping him, so it might as well be me.
Satan: Just like you was a threat to everyone close not long ago.
HS: I was never that much of a threat, I never used to effect that many people with pure hatred.
Satan: No, but people looked at you that way Mark, they hated you, they still do. Do you think for a second that because you're going against a man just as hated as you are, that you think people like you? No Mark, you're respected but you're not liked.
HS: Matter of opinion bud.
Satan's voice gets louder.
Satan: They hate you Mark. I know they do, you are a man with no limits for what he does and I respect that, but you need to see things from a different angle.
HS: And what's that?
Satan: What if Kain was sent to destroy you?
Hot Stuff smirks
HS: What if's mean nothing. What if my aunt had bollocks, she'd be my uncle. End of the day, Kain will be destroyed by me. Don't worry, I'll send you his soul.
A large inhale is heard as Hot Stuff wakes up in bed. The scene completely changes to the sun creeping through the curtains on a bright, yet cold London morning. He looks down to see Angelica laying on his chest, her eyes opening as she looks up.
Angelica: Morning
HS: Morning
Angelica: Did you have good dreams.
Hot Stuff smiles
HS: Oh yeah, met the devil, had him try and put doubt in my head, only made me more determined to kick Kain's arse. I think I was dreaming of tits before that though.
Angelica: So a normal night for you then
HS: Pretty much
Angelica rubs her hands over Hot Stuff chest as the scene fades.
Hot Stuff is seen looking in a mirror, wearing a silver suit, a light blue shirt and matching tie. Hot Stuff straightens up his tie, as Angelica wraps her arms around his waist, looking up at Hot Stuff.
Angelica: Looking good babe
HS: I know, gotta look good for these TV people.
A knock on the door is heard and Angelica walks away from Hot Stuff.
HS: Gonna knock 'em bandy!
Nick Jones face appears from behind Hot Stuff, looking in the mirror.
Nick: What the hell are you going on about limey? What the hell is bandy?
HS: Figure of speech
Nick: You speak so much shit limey
HS: Learned that from you yank.
Nick raises an eyebrow
Nick: Why are you dressed like you're about to get married or something?
Hot Stuff shakes his head and looks shocked.
HS: Get off those drugs, they're messing with your mind. Actually, meeting with a TV exec to get SCW shown in England on TV, rather then just streaming. Worth a lot of money to SCW.
Nick: Does that mean I get a pay rise?
Hot Stuff scoffs
HS: No, means I get a pay rise for all my hard work.
Nick: Hard work? You sit on your ass all day, making out you're doing stuff but really, you sit there messing around on Mafia Wars on facebook and playing games.
Both Hot Stuff and Nick look at camera with a shrug and then back to each other.
HS: That's not true.
Nick: Ok, you also play on Twitter.
HS: That's more like it. Except if this deal happens, I get paid more for doing it.
Nick: It's only fair you should pay your champion more money, considering I'm the one that brings the fans to the arena, I'm the one that gets more people watching the shows.
HS: Only to see you get your yank arse kicked.
Nick scratches his head
Nick: Still works though. I get people in the arenas, so I should get paid more.
HS: I think you need to talk to your entourage more buddy boy.
Nick sighs
Nick: What have those idiots done now?
HS: Well they tied your contract up so damn well, you won't be getting a payrise for a long time.
Nick: Oh great.
Nick's sarcastic tone fills the room, causing Hot Stuff to smile.
HS: You might wanna hire some people who know what a contract is all about, or at least people who can spell their own name.
Nick: You know the story with B.
HS: Yeah, but he spells B wrong!
Nick rolls his eyes
Nick: Typical. Anyway, so when do we leave for these negotiations?
HS: We?
Nick: Yeah, we. I figure as I'm here, and I have the heavyweight title belt in the car, I can show off the gold, they'll love me and you get a new TV deal.
Hot Stuff rubs his own forehead
HS: It's new, I'll give you that, but I know you, this has got disaster written all over it.
Hot Stuff closes his eyes, shaking his head and thinking.
HS: Just sit there and be quiet and listen. One day, you might how a federation and have to do all this hard work.
Nick: I could run a federation if I wanted, if that Craig guy can do it, so can I.
Nick turns and winks at the camera.
HS: You couldn't run a race.
Nick: Why would I want to?
Hot Stuff raises his eyebrows. He opens his mouth to speak but the words don't come out.
Nick: That's what I thought.
HS: You can think? I never knew that.
Nick opens his mouth, but like Hot Stuff, the words don't come out
Nick: Just shut up
Hot Stuff smiles
HS: Ok, let's get going, just sit there and watch
A little while later, we join Hot Stuff Mark Ward and Nick Jones inside a huge office. Both of them sit one side of a desk, Nick with his SCW Heavyweight championship over his shoulders. zz
Nick: Where is this guy? I thought you came here, signed something and we all go out and get drunk.
Hot Stuff looks at Nick as a balding man in a suit comes in to the room and sits behind the desk. In his hands he holds what looks to be a contract.
Executive: Sorry to keep you and your PA waiting.
Nick: Hey buddy, I'm not his PA.
HS: No, he prefers the term secretary.
Executive: My appologies
Nick kicks Hot Stuff from under the table, but Hot Stuff just smiles at Nick.
Executive: My partners here on the network seem to highly rate your shows Mr Ward they have told me any great things about your company, but there is a lot of money involved in this deal. Why should we air Sin City Wrestling on our channel?
HS: Because it's the hottest thing in America right now. No other wrestling shows compare to ours, even bigger companies steal from us because we simply are the best and worth every penny on the table. I pride myself in finding the best stars the world has got to offer, we do everything Vegas style, so it's nothing but entertaining.
Executive: Go on.
HS: There's a huge buzz around us right now, we get thousands of hits every day on our site, thousands of people stream our stuff over here.
Executive: So why change format to television?
HS: Security. Having a show on television beats having it streamed. Financial rewards are better for all involved.
Nick: Bor-ing
Nick whispers but Hot Stuff ignores him.
HS: We know we are the best, we have a television deal in Vegas and California, we stream to the rest of America, we stream over to Europe, you will be the first to have exclusive rights to Sin City Wrestling in England. You have the power to show the whole of the UK what we're all about.
Executive: I'm still not convinced
HS: What you don't see is how much money is there to be made from this one deal alone. The joy you can bring to the fans over here that are stuck with two choices for wrestling and one steal from us, the other is poor.
Nick lets out a yawn.
Executive: Is your secretary ok?
Nick's eyes widen.
Nick: Ok, enough is enough here. I am not his damn secretary, I'm Sin City Wrestling's heavyweight champion, I'm the man that leads the company and draws new viewers in and not to be cocky here, but I've been champion for a while and the numbers have grown because of me. You want a reason to put Sin City Wrestling on your screens? I'm the reason, cause the women will flock to your channel to see me, your ratings will be the best you've ever had, and maybe this guy will pay me more because of it.
The executive looks taken back with shock, and turns to Hot Stuff
Executive: Is that true Mr Ward?
HS: Yeah, most tune in to see Nick here get his arse kicked.
Executive: I can see why.
Nick: Hey!
Executive: Do all your superstars have that kinda passion?
HS: Yeah, they have the passion to entertain.
Nick: And we wanna earn more money out of this for putting our bodies on the line. We put on a good show, people will love you for bringing me.... I mean us to your screens. Women will be all over you to thank you for bringing us to their screens. We all get rich out of it, I can't seem to see a bad thing about all of this, can you?
Hot Stuff puts his hand over his face
Executive: I actually can not, and may I say Mr Ward, it was a very smart idea to bring your heavyweight champion to this meeting.
Hot Stuff takes his hand away and looks at a smirking Nick
Executive: I think we have a contract to sign.
The executive pushes the contract in front of Hot Stuff with a pen. Hot Stuff picks up the pen and glances at Nick, who is smiling widely. Hot Stuff looks back at the contract and signs before putting the pen back down.
Executive: Congratulations Mr Ward, We will start airing Climax Control from the first week in May.
The executive shakes Hot Stuff's hand and Nick's hand. The duo turn and walk out of the office. Nick smirks at Hot Stuff.
Nick: So when do I get my commission for this?
HS: What commission?
Nick: I just landed you a huge deal here, made you some serious cash.
HS: Ok, I'll buy you a beer.
Hot Stuff taps Nick on the shoulder and walks away. Nick calls after him.
Nick: Hey! Don't walk away from me! I've tried what you call beer, and it's shit! I want the money. Hey!
Nick chases after Hot Stuff as the scene fades out
Much later that night
The sound of an owl hoots distantly in the background, the echoes of cars driving past, first quiet, becoming louder, then fading away as quickly as the noise increased. The cames focuses on the moon for a few seconds before rolling down to ground level. Tombstones and crosses are seen rowed along the grassey ground. A clear image of a graveyard is seen, and the light shining down on one particular area is seen in just the corner of the screen. The camera spins viciously to the light and a man is seen sitting on the top of a tombstone. The camera moves in to see that man as Hot Stuff Mark Ward, looking down in to an open grave before looking up at the camera.
HS: Hot Stuff in a graveyard, I bet you wouldn't have guessed that.
Hot Stuff shrugs, a look of concern on his face
-
HS: Well, one person probably did, but still.
Hot Stuff blinks rapidly before looking in to the hole in front of him
HS: I hate doing this you know. I truthfully do, but this goes beyond a war of words, this goes beyond most things I've done before, but this has to be done. I've been thinking so much lately, since I went to that confession box, since I had to doubt if I'm doing the right thing. If by taking out a monster, would make everything right again, if it would spawn a slight hint of justice for every life that said monster has ruined in one way or another, including his own. I've thought constantly in my mnd about this, I've thought of nothing else as I watched him with that murderous look in his eyes as only last week, he set out to destroy anothers life. I watched that woman by his side step down and break someone's arm because of the vile life changing choices this monster made for her, I watched it and felt sick, physically sick that this monster is walking amongst us still, that this inhuman piece of scum, has spread his evil, brainwashing belief's on an innocent woman. He enjoyed watching his darkness spread as she did what he has always told her to do. The monster is proud of his work.
Hot Stuff shakes his head in disgust.
HS: Very proud of robbing someone of their innocence and turning them in to a beast. I tried to be human about everything, God knows I tried, God knows I've tried to stop myself from feeling this anger. I did it before, I stopped someone in their tracks before they could explode and ruin their own lives, I stopped it. I wasn't proud of it, but needs must and all that stuff. I'm trying to fight it this time but the most I watch, the more it's confirmed. I have to do what I have to do, I have to stop the corruption, I have to now before it's too late. I was so close to stopping myself and then I saw thar cage fight. I put my eyes on that and that was it, the light went off and I knew what I had to do. The ego, oh the ego of thinking of his greatness, drives the monster. Yes, I have an ego, I know I'm the best at what I do. Do I want to be known as the best of ruining lives? No. This ego of his pushes him to want to kill, physically kill and become a murderer. This is where we differ so much. I want people to be alive when I beat them, to relive it. This monster is happy to leave them dying.
Hot Stuff shakes his head again
HS: It sickens me to think of life disregarded just like that, but it's his power. He feeds of fear, it's his oxygen. Here's the thing, I don't fear him, I see him for all that he is. Behind the brutality, behind those eyes, I know how he works. As much as he feels he is better then us all, in that mind he wonders about the day he will get taken down a peg or two. I know he loses in the wrestling ring a lot, but he's coming up against the biggest name he's ever faced. He knows the trophy he will get from adding my heart and soul to his collection, he knows what's at stake. I know that if I don't stop him now, no one will. I will stop you Kain.
Hot Stuff stares down the camera, looking up for the first time.
HS: I have to do this, you need to be stopped because you will become out of control. I have seen it all before. While you've been getting your fix, your rush elsewhere, I've spent time around people, I haven't been in my own little world and I've seen it all. I've seen the monsters, I've seen the dominant, I've seen guys that walk around like their shit don't stink and you are all of the above. Now if you took the time to look back on me, see what makes me tick like I have done with you, you'll see the way I'm talking, the way I'm acting, is very out of character for me and you know why?
Hot Stuff closes his eyes for a second.
HS: Because I've seen your future, I've seen who you will become and this is why I will put everything on the line to stop you from becoming that person. Your words rattle in my head a lot Kain, you wanted things to be this way, YOU, no one else, YOU! You shoulda seen from day one what was there on the table for you, but that ego, that attitude stopped you from doing what was right, because no one has ever reached out to you before. You brought all this on without any help from me and you must prepare to suffer for your words for your actions, you must prepare for this all to bite you in the arse, cause god knows, it's what's gonna happen. You're so far ahead of yourself, you've already planned your victory party, where you and our brainwashed crew are going to celebrate taking out a legend, you're not ready to taste that defeat that will leave you bitter. Alex, you're being overrun by Kain.
Hot Stuff stares deep in to the camera.
HS: Alex Grayson, I'm talking to you, not Kain now, you, because you are letting Kain take over your soul, you are not the monster here Alex, you are human, but Kain is not. You're not the same person. You're not this ego driven wanker who thinks he's better then the rest of us, you're normal Alex, you are a person. Kain thinks I'm a lowlife, but Kain is driven by saying things like that to make himself feel good, to make himself feel better then he should be, because he's not. He's nothing, Kain is nothing, but you already know that, don't you Alex? Yes, you do. You see in your head, you know who I am, you know what I'm capable of, you know because you've seen me. You've read up on everything I've done, you know I'm a threat, but Kain brushes that away because he sees the bloodlust. He doesn't want to think about it, he thinks this one is already said and done, but you know better. You've seen all I've done Alex, you know I've done it all on my own, those titles I won, you respect me for, Kain does not. He seems to think I need help. He will see after London Brawling, when I beat Kain on my own, without the help of anyone else, that his words mean nothing. This is your chance Alex, stop letting Kain rule who you are, stop letting his delusions of grandeur control your life.
Hot Stuff looks serious for a few second
HS: Kain does not know what he speaks Alex, he doesn't know how wrong he is. He doesn't see the years of work I've put in to be in the position he wants to be in. He doesn't understand. He thinks I needed him, when all I wanted to do was save him. I could have done it Alex, I could have made you rise to the top and shake off this stupid "rip off from a computer game" moniker. Kain thinks I needed him, but I don't Alex, I wanted you, not Kain, you. You have your eyes open, you see what it takes to succeed, but Kain is destined to wander this earth bringing nothing but pain to innocent people but you, you do not. You want to break out of this depression, you want to be the one to be at the top. I may have said I needed Kain, but once I got you to see who really controls things, Kain would be no more and you'd be the one running things Alex, you, not Kain and you're the man who gets things done, because you don't need the bloodlust, you don't need to ruin lives because you're smarter then that.
Hot Stuff links his fingers behind his head
HS: Kain thinks I left him for dead Alex, do you see what's wrong with that statement? He's judging me by his own dirty self. He's trying to make me look like him, so I become another faceless person he can fight, even though you know I'm different from that, you know I'm so much more then a face in the crowd. His dulusional ways will get you killed Alex, you will be the final victim of his reign of terror. I need to end Kain to save you Alex, I need to save Alex Grayson (#SaveAlexGrayson trend that!)
Hot Stuff removes his hands from his head
HS: I am the only one that can do it, I'm the only one who can save you from this monster that controls your life. He doesn't even control your life in a good way, Kain is stupid. He thinks I'm jealous of his success, he thinks that, but you know that is not the case. Everything I've done in my career, everything I've ever won up till this point, is more then he will ever win in his career. It's more than most will win in their career. How can I be jealous of someone who has done less than I have? Kain has done fuck all in Sin City Wrestling, fuck all, there's me, don't wanna brag or anything, but I've kept the place going. I see that as more of an achievement then anything he's ever done here. You see what I mean Alex? You must see that Kain taking over you is the worst thing to happen to anybody. He's as thick as dog shit. He thinks I wanna be him, he thinks I wanna be a monster, a killer, a common crook. Why would anyone wanna be him? He latched on to the first chick who would go near his wang. He's been plowing the same old field for years because as much as he is confident in his fighting style, being around women is not his strong suit. Who would really want to be him? Want his life? Who? No one Alex, not even you wanna be Kain, you wanna be free. He thinks he has no arrogance but you were there, you saw the look on his face after beating that nobody gang member, pointing the sword at the leader, can you tell me that is not arrogance? His mind does not match up to his physical abilities, but you Alex, you have the mind and the physical abilities, being taken over by "Kain" has surpressed your own brain power. He mocks the people close to me, but he doesn't see the people close to me. Heavyweight champion is close to me, does he not see that I am the ruler of the path of success? He wants that title, but he wasn't good enough and yet can only come up with me being jealous of him.
Hot Stuff shakes his head.
HS: Poor form from Kain, Alex, very poor. Everything Kain says is garbage Alex, you know it, you can do so much better. He seems to think this was his plan all along. This guy can't think of much, does he really think he could outsmart me? Does he really think that I couldn't read him well enough to know that the arrogance wouldn't bleed through and have him see me as a way to further his career by beating on me?
Hot Stuff rolls his eyes
HS: Kain's not that smart Alex, we both know it. Kain is actually, a moron, got the IQ of a peanut. He thinks I really care about the monks he used to beat me up? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's that flying fuck I don't give. He thinks he's gonna take over SCW Alex, he does. Can you get more stupid then that? I mean what's he think I'm gonna do? Just hand the keys over to him if he beats me? HA! Almost as stupid as him ripping off a Motorhead song for his own nickname. This shows his mentallity. He thinks I come in to this lightly, like I'm going to stuggle against him, but I'm not. Fear not Alex, I will save you, I will put Kain to rest so you can rise up, break that stupid persona, be you, be who you truly are. He is not right Alex, he think's he's my biggest challenge.
Hot Stuff smirks
HS: He's not even in the same league as the guys I've faced. Billy James, Adam Rich, Jordan Williams, Austin Parker, hell, even Spike would eat this guy alive. This is why I need to kill Kain, Alex, because he will get you hurt, he will get you hurt on Sunday. He has taken me too lightly and he now needs to go. I mean he quotes Titanic for fucks sake! Come on Alex, how can you let this persona control you! He quotes something that made Celine Dion millions, gave her a career for a piss poor annoying song! You let this moron take you over Alex, when you are better then this.
Hot Stuff looks seriously down the camera.
HS: I will destroy this monster persona that is Kain, I will save you Alex, and I will save the world of having to put up with this creature.
Hot Stuff stands up, running his fingers across the tombstone.
HS: I doubted myself until I saw some more, but I now know the answer to the question that has bugged me for weeks.
Hot Stuff tilts his head and nods
HS: Two wrongs do make a right.
Hot Stuff walks away with the camera focusing on the tombstone before fading out.
