Our scene opens to the rafters of the arena used for the Sin City Wrestling in Las Vegas, Nevada and we see Equinox standing alone in a dark stairway above the arena most likely in the rafters with an umbrella in hand tilting his head to the side. He presses his hands up tightly around the handle of the umbrella as he looks toward the camera with a faint, twisted smile and lets out a soft laugh.
Equinox: Looks like our time to rise is drawing ever closer. Sin City Wrestling has finally learnt that I am so close to begin what they are looking for and I take my first step on the road to gaining what I seek. For the two of us going into this week’s match there is no warm up, there is no teeth-cutting. Its straight to business and that’s how I like it. I’m not interested in sniffing around in the shadows, waiting for a chance. I came here to do battle Andrew Garcia, you just so happen to be the man coming for my Roulette Championship. The very same belt you lost in your 1st defense. At the last PPV, I struck a win while you struck a lose, which lead to my alter ego capitalizing in wayward dreams the SCW Roulette Championship. I came here to rise to the top. I came here to be the best. Anyone on this roster that says they are here for any other reason is out of their mind, and clearly in the wrong place. Those of us here have been given a tremendous opportunity. To be wrestling in a title match against you a Former SCW Roulette’s Heavyweight Champion, it’s a challenge I look most forward too. SCW has had a long and storied history, but this time it’s going to be written little different with me beating you in my 1st title defense.
Equinox begins to walk down the dark steel steps, his head still titled, rubbing his hands together as he continues to talk.
Equinox: This Sunday in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Gold Coast Casino it’s like a flashback. See last time I fought a former champion at PPV, I came out with the win and then it lead me onto better things . At the end of the night this Sunday, I am going to repeat that result by beating you and retaining my glorifies friend. See here’s the funny thing you were the former SCW Roulette Champion, you got beat by Kain for that belt and you failed to back up your claims that you would beat the man. I faced him once and I beat him. Funny facts about you and him, eh Andrew? What makes you simply think your going to redeem yourself by trying to beat me here at the PPV. I’m going to make sure that I am going to be that person to rise from the ashes of two losses like a phoenix and beat you here and now this Sunday. When all of this has passed, I’m going to be the one you as you look up at the lights and Death Welcomes You. I’m going to be the one that gets that honor, of that I’m sure.
Equinox lets out a soft chuckle before he continues.
Equinox: How can I be so confidant? It’s simple. I have to be. The moment you doubt yourself in that ring, you've already lost. I know exactly what I need to do, and I know exactly how far I’m willing to go to win this. There is no risk I’m not willing to take, there is no reason I will ever give up, and I will absolutely never relent. I will continue fighting until no one is left to stand between myself and Hot Stuff International but the only difference is I will be SCW Roulette Champion past this defense.
Equinox: You’re my 1st opponent that I have to defend this belt against. Word round the block people have called it Magic'...that’s it...'Magic'...What do I say to that? I’m going up against a man who during his time as Universal Champion lost it to the man I beat for it? A man who couldn’t win it back when he lost it and to make it worse is now apparent the Honorable Hulk? I thank management for giving me this shot. I have been asked if I fear You on Sunday? I’m not convinced. Andrew, I’m a man with nothing to lose. I’m a man willing to go to any length to make sure I succeed since I won this belt. I’m going to be generous here and give you a little advice. Focus less on looking honorable which by the way your horrible at and focus more on making sure you are prepared for the coming onslaught. All the spray tan you apply to your orange body in the world won’t help you hide the bruising when I’m slamming you into the mat. Once you step into the ring with me, your flashy outfits will do nothing to stop my fists. I came here to fight, and I came here to win. When I’m done, the only thing 'Magic' about you will be how you make it to any of the upcoming shows when I break your legs before the following week.
Equinox pauses and lifts his face to look at the camera again, another twisted grin spreads across his visage
Equinox: Get some rest, Andrew. And get your head straight. I’m coming for you and not the other way around, and I’m not going to stop until you are finished. I will break you. I will make you tap or pin you. It matters not how I beat you, until your lifeless and I give the fans what they truly want. I will end your run at this championship and the fans will get what they deserve. Don’t be upset, though. Some men just weren’t meant to stand at the top of the mountain. You can go home slunk in a corner and realize your reign is coming to an end and it will be me that does it. As long as I’m here, you will never get another reign as SCW roulette champion. That is the way it is fortold. So let it be written. In heaven. In Hell. On Earth. In the Universe and the space time continuum. You will learn your place as you die that night as I will end your miserable life and let you understand the true meaning of my forsaken name. That’s just the way it is....Welcome to Wayward Dreams, Joker’s!!!!!! The END is near for you, Andrew. Can’t you feel it?
A heckled laugh can be heard as the video feed slowly loses contact.
The scene opens up again…fading from the blackness called life.
T H R E E - D A Y S - R E M A I N I N G
The scene opens up to an abandoned classroom, mid 1800’s and old as hell. Ravens can be seen picking at tables, chairs and bones even little spiders crawling around on the floor as a voice is heard.
“I guess some congratulations are in order…â€
Those words were what was heard as the camera began recording. The location seems to be inside a church that is halfway through a renovation. However the place looks completely empty as there doesn’t seem to be a single soul here, except for the one man who is sitting on one of the benches…Equinox, twirling his umbrella on his shoulder. This upcoming PPV, As for mentioned Into the Void III, Equinox is going up against an old opponent of his in the form of the former SCW Roulette Champion, and probably the Crown Jewel of Hot Stuff International, Andrew Garcia. While the last two weeks have been in Andrew’s favor, this didn’t seem to hold any clear affect on the rather calm looking Bizarre superstar.
“Congratulations Andrew…congratulations on getting in my head and sitting there as I wait to spring on you the greatest demise of all time. Finally the Era of Equinox can start, but before it can start I can let it reign, I must beat you.â€
After saying his words, in a rather relaxed manner for someone who is due to go up against one of Hot Stuff International’s best in a few days time, the now turned hailing from Britain stood up from his bench, turned to the side and walked. His left hand trailed against the top of the bench until he reached the end closest to the recording device and turned himself to face the camera that is recording him.
Equinox:
“I should also congratulate you on some other things as well. You failed to beat me in our 1st encounter in singles competition. You failed to defend you belt against Kain, a match you once called yourself the king of. You scored a win over me, You scored a win in which most would have seen me laugh as you came crumbling through the table. Heck, I should congratulate you for lighting the very fire in my belly. Which happens to be why you are facing me at the Pay Per View.
So congratulations on proving that the 2nd time’s the charm. Now normally, third time’s the charm…that phrase seem to describe your career at the very best because come the PPV your going to need more then three seconds to beat me. It’s as though the volcanic eruption that is your momentum, will freeze over and break down into tiny little pieces as you go one-on-one against the one you beat but haven’t pinned or made submit. Hey Andrew this is me finally talking to you man to man. This Sunday you will not beat me.â€
Even though seeming to be complimentary at first, it quickly came apparent that the male is simply speaking out of confidence as his facial expression is both cold and completely emotionless. Yet once he finished his words the Equinox wrapped in Anarchy began to stroll off. Quickly knowing what the male’s intention was the camera quickly began to follow Equinox until the man finally stopped in front of an empty yet sealed casket.
Equinox
“Of course this is where you casket lies. Under Roulette rules anything can happen. There can be No pins, no submissions, no count-outs, no disqualification, no knockouts…you have never beaten me, but the point that simply remains is you have never pinned me or made me tap out. I will repeat history and pin you or make you submit or which ever the stipulation could be.
You talk about me being cheap knock off of my hero’s and my idols …yet you weren’t the only one who has yet evolve. It was while on Climax Control last week, that I looked in the mirror and realized that you had no chance of beating me. You call yourself honorable but yet you cower like a coward to Mark Ward. Sean Jackson is just his bitch and come Sunday Jamie will put him in his place. For the first time, in what felt like an eternity among the whisper in the wind, I feel free…I feel me…I feel alive. For every Superman there is kryptonite and for every Andrew Garcia, there is me.â€
Even though talking to the camera, Equinox’s eyes were fixated upon the wooden box, his right hand trailing across the coffin in an unorganized manner as he spoke his words. However Equinox’s eyes moved up to look directly into the lens as he spoke out his final sentence before deciding to walk off from the casket. Following the male the camera spotted a couple of metal folding chairs that Equinox walked pass, one of them having a seat on one of them and next to him, he glanced over to a few chairs away, yet the male suddenly stopped and snapped himself around. Without saying a word he walked over to the other chair and picked up the objects off the seconds, which happen to be frames - one having a picture of Sean Jackson and the other having a picture of Michael Hardy - and revealed them to the camera for a moment before placing them both down on the seat before appearing to ponder something.
Equinox:
“Now I think about it…I am quite possibly, literally and in more ways than one the very last person you would want to face in your rematch for this belt. Why, why, why, why, why is that, Mate? The fact that I’ve always beaten you mentally and psychical even after that simple tag match two weeks ago. The other, me lad, is actually created because of you and Hot Stuff International but you already knew this. After running from the ambulance and the hospital, I stumbled upon a cave in Cairo, Egypt. There I was welcomed to a dark place and therefore asked to drink from a goblet of blood by a dark mist and by listening to what it had to say, I was simply given the ability to endure the anguish of losing and defeat but in return given the ability to beat you and end Hot Stuff International. Then comes the Pay Per View where in my 1st match since that dark day, I was against the Duke Topai Ata. I warned him that I was ‘the worst kind of guy’ for him to face in her first match back. Guess what happened? That silly, little, boy didn’t heed my warning and I end up hurting him so badly that he practically vanished from the face of the earth. That’s right, Andre, I KILLED a piece of Hot Stuff International before it had the chance to grow when it just begun and I can, rather easily, kill this Andrew Garcia before me. Look at Max Burke, Gone. Look at Duke, Gone. Look at Jackson beaten like a little boy by the man he claims to drilled a hole in the back of his skull. Why am I targeting you and Hot Stuff International?
How can I, may you ask? Because you and your group took a dream from me and now I take something from you and H.S.I. I wonder, wouldn’t it be amusing if you, the guy who seems to find a way to get into a position to win, end up having your knee shattered into a million little pieces, as if it was the hope of those who supported the Argentinean national football team? Heh, wouldn’t it be amusing…for the death of your career, as well as your era, be caused by the guy who beat the man who ended your reign in the 1st place? Hell, if you’re watching this…hey, Andrew’s dad, be prepared to put your money on me for unlike your son’s failure is simply woven into the cloth of fate by the needle of the past. I will simply go beyond the nice guy and retain this championshipâ€
At first it sounded like the male might actually be losing his sanity yet the more he spoke the more confidently calm and arrogantly relaxed he is. As if to give an image to his words the male used his hands to make a knitting motion throughout this final sentence before deciding to push the pictures off the chair and sit down on it, ignoring the sound of shattering glass as he began to speak up again.
Equinox
“The past…while I have said that history is history, the present is born from future’s past. I know most have foreseen me to lose and that my friend is not an option, I will be damned if this belt loses its value in your hands.â€
Even though calm and arrogantly at first, Equinox was definitely sounding quite serious a he mentioned of various things. He began to think of twitter and wondered if ever for mentioned why it existed.
Equinox
“Those were the two of the three dates of our history, I have a valid win over you and you over me, hence why third time’s the charm shall be for me. You say you look to overcome me and how I will never beat you again for this championship. However that will definitely not happen…at all. There won’t be any Hot Stuff International where we are going because it will become to hot. I will let you know that there will be nobody to save you, nobody to screw me over, nothing to damage, nothing to help…and there will be absolutely no one or anything to blame but yourself as I not only beat you one, two and three…but I’ll also beat you within an bleeding inch of your damn life. And nothing will be there to save you from all the suffering I, Equinox, plan on making you endure.â€
Now, instead of a dry chuckle, the male coughed lightly at the end of his words, the dust from some of the wooden platforms involved in the renovation being a possible cause for this. However once he finished his words Equinox walked over to the ring as if staring at pure beauty, before stepping over to a perfectly set up ladder, as if a construction worker plans to return on the next day, and leaning his own body slightly against it.
Equinox
“And I plan on making you endure a lot…hell, if this was an Elder Scrolls game then I would use a spell on you to heal you well enough so that I can beat the crap out of you yet again. I don’t care that you’ve won the our last match or that I lost my last match, a feat I’ve yet to do is beat Rage and I will in due time, none of those things matter to me at all. As the only thing that matter to me right now is this Sunday, where you will become nothing more than a vintage victim of the guy formerly known as Michael Hardy. Heh, if anything you, dear Former SCW Roulette Champion, could end up becoming nothing more than a simple rung on this ladder as you will watch as I will climb to greatness and beyond. The first step was Kain the only person to have ever beaten you for that belt - while the second step will be you and the third step could be the SCW Heavyweight Champion and finally the SCW Heavyweight Championship above this ladder.
You don’t agree with me? Heh, I guess I should have expected that but if you really disagree with what I say then here is a question I have for you…what are you going to do? Beat me? Don’t make me laugh, Chump. I’ve already beaten you, because I know that all that tough boy you spew from your mule of a mouth is that you are most likely secretly doubt your own chances of victory, dear Orange Hulk. It’s been a contracting factor. I came in beat three guys and you to get my shot at Grimm. I lost. You beat him. I beat Kain and look at where we are nowâ€
It was only near the end of the first half of his words that Equinox made the decision to move and climb up this ladder he was leaning again…going up one step at the mention of Kain, a second at the mention of Andrew Garcia and then a third step before turning to face the camera and question if Garcia does not ‘agree’ with the Paragoned Enigma’s words. An overconfident smirk appeared on Equinox’s face after finishing his before deciding to climb to the top of the ladder. The moment he finished the climb he turned around and sat down on the very top rung before looking down upon the camera, expecting it to zoom in on his face.
Equinox:
“On top of this ladder, looking down on all of you, How fitting…I think I finally realize what it taste like to be at the top looking down upon everybody. A taste that you’ll definitely have to get use to Andrew…as well as fight to get to me and if some how you beat me, for it is often harder to stay at the top than it is to get up to it…another piece of advice. You beat me, there is nothing in this world that will stop me from getting back what is mine. But how foolish of me Andrew. See as SCW Roulette Champion your back automatically becomes a target of everyone on the roster, even the people you think are your friends are simply waiting to stab you in the back and take the belt. But then again, so is being the SCW Champion, I left that fate to chance as one might have it for when I earn the chance to become SCW Champion, all I care about is the present and at the present, better known as Into the Void III, I’ll be the one with my hand raised in victory at your expense…yet again.â€
As if to signalize the possible future victory, Equinox clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it up into the air, causing the camera to zoom out slightly and end up seeing the bright stainless glass, which - at this current angle - make it looks almost like a light shining down upon the guy who calls himself a Paragon of Anarchy for reasons unknown to anybody.
Equinox:
“Heh, here’s another bit of history that you might not know Garcia…out of the everything I have ever done…I have won and I have lost. But I always have rose to the challenge. So it is also for that reason that our upcoming confrontation of action, suspense and even more action shall be when the relationship between that phrase and your career dies. You will see the phrase “Challenge†at its best…â€
With confidence that is perfectly mixed within his voice as the male spoke out yet at the last bit as the SCW Roulette Champion steadily made his way down the ladder before turning around to properly, and fully, face the camera.
Equinox:
“Garcia. You’ve developed into a real jackass since becoming apart of Hot Stuff International… but you’ve developed your game as well and I personally respect that. But this improvement will always go full circle as I beat you once again. You have never beaten me one-on-one and considering the facts that I am SCW Roulette Champion for a reason and you are not… I will let you know this and I will make this perfectly clear…this will be your very last chance to finally get a win over the one you’ve never scored one against before in a singles match. I could wish you luck, but I would be lying…so instead I want you to give it your all, like you did at when you lost to Kain, for this hurdle is just as determined to keep you down. See you at Into the Void III, Andrew.â€
[Scene two]
The lights come on and black out up in the rafters of the one housing the one they call . He is sitting on a rack of steel steps with his umbrella tilted out. He is seen laughing his head off as he cackles about and holding his sides. So many thoughts tumbling through his head and so little care. Andrew Garcia thinks he can scare him? He laughs in the face of danger and hopes that Someone tries to show up and cost him the championship he had fought hard for. He smiled because he welcomed the challenge.
Equinox: I been waiting and waiting. Oh how I have been waiting, seeing the flaps of your neck roam free as you spew your vials words upon Twitter and SinCityWrestling.com with your hate for me, someone who is not you but his own entity. Hardy was a thing of the past and yet you and your bloody leeches have become blind as you seek to suck blood from me.
He smiles and he runs his right index finger softly down his cheek. He growls knowing this might be his only down fall. He tilts his head when another thought runs through his mind. You can see out of the glimpse of the shadows a figure can be seen. A small little man with Joker like facepaint comes waddling down like a penguin right next to Equinox underneath the umbrella as if this little guy loved the darkness. Equinox doesn’t look at him but speaks as though speaking to the little man.
EQUINOX: Where in the hell is my mind tonight? Usually it’d be here by now set to do battle. Then again it is nice and quiet right now. See I am walking into a match where many say I will lose and many say I will end your career because of my deranged state, Garcia. Many say that the Jokers of Paragon will aid me tonight and welcome their assistance. Not because I need their strength. No I want to be their hope as a good guy should have a decent reign he has truly earned it and that I truly have. To all the hatred know that I am more then I made out to be. No I am my own person, my own entity, I want nothing to do with the Wild set of things but only to show my fans from SCW, who I am and what I can do in this very ring. I do what I see fit and not by their standards. I don’t run around with a messed up title list on a long piece of toilet paper and when no one is looking add another for keep’s sake. I earn it. See coming into this match, I have to say this to Andrew, See I respect him. It is the only reason I am happy to have this match. The last match he was in with me was no more than a doorway to our storied history! Because I see me in him, I saw that darkness that has finally come out to play and validated that we are here, we are designed to take pain and we are very, very dangerous. See Andrew despite everything you have said I will be the winner of this outcome. You unleashed the darkness within me and I will take you out just as I did Duke and just as I am going to do to the rest of H.S.I.
He shakes his head. It seemed like the men he once respected were people he could not respect anymore. He had no problem with Sean Jackson, it was a mere friendly challenge. Then they happened. He happened. Now all that stood between Equinox and revenge was H.S.I. They were ignorant fools. Bullies and hypocrites. They did everything and anything to get their so called attention as if though they mommies didn’t love them enough. Equinox welcomed their hate as he thrived on it. It was too quiet for his liking now. From no where a voice comes.

: Those Moronic Fools are so ill fated are they not? You are the two time XCW World Champion, The Current SCW Roulette Champion and yet you let them run their mouths. You feed off their hate and lure them in like Mice to a Mousetrap. How predictable? When will people realize that you are more dangerous when you are hated by people who cannot comprehend your brilliance?
A twisted figure of a cat starts to form and land on the shades of the umbrella. It has a crescent moon like smile. One has to wonder what is going through. He seems very happy to see his old friend again. The cat was right though. He was more dangerous when hated and despised. He turns into an insane man of a monster once the bell rings. He was not the one to anger.
EQUINOX: Chess, welcome back my old friend. It has been a bit of time. It’s funny how you have shown up tonight of all nights as I defend my championship against Andrew. I hope the Jokers are ready to be in for a battle because I plan to give them a fight for them.
Chess: I know, I was there watching from a far. So you finally you are getting your match with Garcia. That is a very good thing. Those H.S.I scoudeldrawls have been nothing but bullies since you’ve unlocked the dark part of your mind.
EQUINOX: That will happen in due time tonight. But the question is can he defeat me cleanly.
Chess: That is so true? I mean he has beaten you in a tables tag team match nothing more. Never pinned you.
EQUINOX: Thought I never did like Andrew, I damn sure want this to be a fair fight, but how can it. We both know Hot Stuff International will be watching. How fitting for a pack of cowards like them!?
Chess: It seems that things are still looking up for you. Maybe this is your chance to show everyone who you are. See you defeat them singlehandedly and that will perhaps prove your worth to the locker room.
EQUINOX: I know that Chess. I am looking forward to this match. See coming here I have a chance to face two guys who can’t stand me and I welcome that. I welcome their hate but the delusion in it all does my tag partner even have my back.
Chess: So have you seen twitter lately, it seems Andrew is highly confident he will beat you..Not that you care.
He smiles at the cat. He knew the mental cat knew how to get on twitter and roam around. He was called a rookie with an Ego. He was not a rookie. Many called him a legend, From where he was standing it was time to show them who he was. But He knew this was going to be the hardest match to defeat Andrew here tonight, in his short run of being SCW Roulette Champion. Yet, He was ready.
EQUINOX: I welcome your wrath Andrew for you are no better then the scum you crawl around with. Come this title match if you will, I like those odds. I will never stop! I will never die! My limits exceed everyone in this damn federation!
Chess: I wonder how far are people willing to go. To shut you down and say you’re a rip off when they have no idea the ability you possess. Andrew Garcia is but a mere mouse compared to you and you have stolen nothing, do you hear me. You simply have done what you could and tonight my son, win, lose or draw I am proud of you.
EQUINOX: You know that is a good point. Wayward Dream is about to be dealt here tonight boys and I won’t quit until they start shouting “Off with their heads†which I will gladly do.
Chess: The Wayward Dream will come to a realization. Now it starts to come more and more into effect. Does anyone have what it takes to stop you? I doubt Hot Stuff International can hold you back.
EQUINOX: At this point not one damn person can hold me back. See I am going into everything, see a little birdie told me I was on my own from the beginning and like it or not I am fine with that. Just know Andrew, I will not let the Jokers down tonight no matter what the flap you’ve said or what you conceive in your pretty little mind as tonight I plan on stripping them bare for all to see and when the time is right it will be “off with their headsâ€.
Chess: Hell, Andrew you must be stupid then to realize Equinox would be so forgiving. He doesn’t need to run his mouth on twitter to talk “Shit†as you could claim. Andrew, I have come to the realization that your nothing but a punk, a low life. A coward. A simple boy who rides the co-tails of Hot Stuff International and are along for the ride. Everyone else in that bloody group on the other hand seems like a bunch of fluid flabber fucks. Andrew, Equinox has said multiple times he respects you and he could give two shits about Hot Stuff Internationals possible interference tonight. You are not apart of this simple stable, You are one man. Tonight he will face you one on one. Question is will you do the same?.
EQUINOX: Who really knows? See Andrew it doesn’t really matter if I lose tonight or if I fall because should I fall tonight, you folks will be losing your heads tonight.
He laughs at the thought. He respected Andrew and laughed at his bullshit of being honorable. Hell, he would of considered Andrew one of the best, but now he had a hard choice to make because of the actions of Hot Stuff, Mark Ward, Andrew Garcia and the rest of the lot. He looks at the cat and snickers shaking his head.
EQUINOX: So in the end of it all Chess, I will walk out with my head held up high. I am not going to stop until I complete what I started! The Hot Stuff International will lose tonight and lose another memeber!
The cat turns with its sinister smile and walks into the mirror. It suddenly vanishes.
EQUINOX: I don't care who you are and I don’t care what you have said! I am not going to lie down! I am not the one to mess with! I am coming to the PPV and defeating Andrew Garcia by myself! I will end his lack luster career! There is nothing anyone can do to stop me! This is my time! So why don't you go ask yourself, Why the Hatter is Mad!? Welcome to the Wayward Dream Joker’s! Joker’s Rise Up!!!!!
As he ends the segment. He lets out a dying piercing scream as if to alarm the arena that the insane mad man called Equinox has arrived. He is ready to play and ready to have the fans shout “Off with their headsâ€!!!
The light begins flickering on and off as Equinox gives an evil smile.
Equinox: Welcome to the Age of Armageddon, Mr. Garcia. There will BE no survivors. The feed fades black.
