We open up to show a clip from Climax Control 321 where Mac Bane topples over Supreme Machine with the help of Ken Davison. The clip repeats and repeats until it begins to distort and turn into a glitchy mess and then static. The static lasts for a good minute or two until the clip starts repeating again, going forwards and backwards, slomo and sped up and a voice starts speaking out.
“We’ve held our silence enough. Two weeks ago Mac Bane made a choice. One that he will live to regret. The man who strives to rule SCW with an iron fist went through mental gymnastics that would net him an olympic medal to justify lashing out on us. He is afraid of his reputation. Of the way he is perceived. Pathetic. Truth is, he liked our solution. He is not afraid to reap the benefits of our actions. A hypocrite he is. He thinks he can fix his reputation by casting us out. All he does is play right into the Ravens hand. He weakens himself and his Saviors. So be it. We have no connection to them. We came here only to serve our own needs. When the Raven lashes Mac Bane down, we will stand aside and laugh. He brought it on himself.”
The feed cuts to show Supreme Machine standing in the middle of an empty park at night. Moonlight caressing his bare torso with snowflakes gently landing on him.
“Yet, we are not finished with SCW. We have two things we will seek to do before we even consider continuing on. To triumph at Blast From the Past… and to exact vengeance on Bane. To teach him one does not cross us and get away with it scot free. And the reason we are continuing our path in the tournament is because even if we must do it alone… we are going to prove that we are force to reckon even when disadvantaged. We need no partners… yet due to the rules of SCW we are saddled with one. She is talented… and maybe once in the past we could have appreciated her ability… but now all she is good for is doing her part. She did it in the first round, we expect her to do it in the second.”
A short pause follows as SuMa gazes into the night sky. You an almost make out a small smile on his mangled lips.
“As far as our foes go… we have little interest in them. Goth is our primary focus as he is the one we shall be fighting after the bell rings. He represents something we have always found laughable. A subculture that tries so hard to appear edgy and different… When all you need to do to be different is to act according to your base desires. Be it violence, greed, jealousy or lust. We need no label to mark us. We are what we are. Many are thrown our way. Monster. Beast. Demon. The list goes on. We ourself do not care for those. So when a man chooses a label as their name one can only imagine the weakness of character that persists within. Especially one who has crafted such a careful image to present themselves. All that will be torn down at Climax Control. All that will be laid to rest at Climax Control. And all that will be exposed at Climax Control. We have strayed from our path since we lost to Fenris. We have no desire or intention to stray again. Goth will serve as a reminder that despite setbacks… we are still someone to be wary off, someone to be afraid of. We will remind SCW and men like Bane of what we are capable. To make sure they snap out of the confident stride they have gotten themselves into. And once we are done with Goth, once the Blast from the Past ends in our triumph… we will go after Bane to show him the error of his ways.”
His focus is obvious. A single minded purpose, suffering no distractions.
“Then there is Candy. Whom we know nothing about and in all fairness… we do not even care. She is of no concern for us. Her strengths and weaknesses do not matter to us as we are barred from fighting her. Studying her, looking her up, learning her capabilities, that is Marlowes job. We are there only to worry about Goth and making sure Marlowe does her part. This is the extent of which we are going to talk about Candy.”
A hint of distaste in his voice as he says this.
“Our time in SCW has been a mixed bag. Many will point to our record and say we have failed. And on the surface level you might be correct. But our actions lay deeper than the surface. We have left a mark on Fenris, pushing him further than anyone. We have exposed Bane and his vulnerability. We have drawn the Raven into a conflict. Our goals have been met. Wins and losses are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.”
SuMa turns to face the camera and stretches to his full height, letting the moon illuminate his impressive physique.
“Climax Control 324 isn’t going to be any different. We will come in, do what we do best and the result will speak for itself. Our path of destruction continues indefinitely…”
He starts laughing that menacing, creepy laughter of his as the view cuts to black.
