The scene begins in complete and utter darkness. The location is obviously unknown as nothing can be seen except for the seemingly endless shadows of darkness. The seconds pass by which seem to endure on for minutes until finally something can be seen, ever so faint. Little particles are floating down across the screen, the first wave is few and far in between yet as the seconds continue to pass on by it increases as more little dots are floating down across the screen until the camera backs out a little but it only increases, the little dots continuing to fall ever so gracefully. The camera zooms back in and goes forward now as it turns upwards in the direction they were coming from. The camera begins to speed up as what looks like a stream of beige colored particles continue to fall, finally as the entire screen is about filled with this it begins to slowly drift away, the particles become less and less as the view clears up, straightening itself now as we see a pair of hands in the distance, rubbing together as the same particles fall out from underneath them. Sand. The camera follows the sand down�?down�?down�?until the screen begins to become more visible. This time it’s a lighter blue, the sand continues to fall towards calm glassy water below that of a very calm ocean trapped inside a realm of nothingness.
A voice is heard. “I do not wish for you Dark Child to bow down to the Master that is me. Nor will I ask you to bow at my feet when you are defeated. I simply ask one thing of you Da�?Jamal. I simply ask that you go to sleep.�?/FONT>
The sand stops falling for a moment and everything appears to be calm for a moment before everything resorts back to black. Seifer’s voice booms once more, cutting through the darkness.
“Do me a favor, do the entire world a favor and go to sleep. I do not speak of death for I do not wish death upon such a weak man. I simply wish for you to go to sleep for you haven’t a clue how annoying it is to hear you ramble on and on about things that do not matter, that do not contain to our match. More importantly the way you just jump from topic to topic amidst your ramblings. Have you taken a moment to listen to yourself? It’s enough to make a grown man want to cry.�?/FONT>
There is a pause through the silence for a moment as a trail of sand is shown and the hands which with it falls, those of Seifer’s. After a moment it disappears.
“You are not true greatness Dark Child, you are a mere fool playing a genius�?game. Go on about how you are in Miami, as if it is going to phase me. Go on about how you think you’re going to take the MOD after you win the KoPWT, keep building up your dreams because soon you will find out why I enjoy shattering said dreams. You will see the look in my face as I stand above you victorious and you will realize that in an instant it’s over. Your glory, your fame, it’s gone in an instant as I’m already in the back, beyond you, not even thinking of the type of match it was as I prepare for whomever is next. To you this is the match of your career, yet to me you are just another stepping stone. You will soon discover just how worthless you truly are Jamal. Greatness, you are not. Once the push runs out you will find yourself in the same situation you were in BUD and yet you will look back upon this time years in the future and brag about how good you were, when the reality is you were nothing.�?/FONT>
Seifer’s face now appears; his entire upper body is shown as he is wearing a black robe with a hood over his face, he lifts his head up so his eyes are visible.
“I do not ask you to fear me, I simply ask that you go to sleep. You say Bryce and Drew got lucky when they defeated you�?yet then a moment later you say luck is when a blind squirrel finds a nut, or when you can walk after an accident. Hmmm, perhaps you should decide what you believe luck is. For I know it’s the second, but you losing was because their skill, them proving to be better than you. Unfortunately there is much more stupidity on the way. Lightning never strikes twice, yet if this is the first time we’re meeting exactly how can it strike again?�?/FONT>
The figure of Seifer disappears yet the voice continues on.
“Surely you are not referring to people thinking you are going to lose and then you prove them wrong. For I am not like your past opponents. Yet you�?you have proven to be just like every other person in the tournament. You too are claiming yourself to be King already. Prepare as many speeches as you’d like for you’ll soon find out the only speech you should be preparing is an apologetic one to me for trying to come at me hard when you’ve never had a hard day in your life.�?/FONT>
The face of Seifer flashes, he’s laughing, knowing that it would get to DC.
“Don’t come back with your life story either, no one cares about you. No one cares about the week you’ve had. You act as if it was such a big deal who you’ve faced recently, please; it’s not as if you’ve been busting your ass because your performance has been average at best. And if you have well�?looks like this will be easier than I’ve prepared for. This isn’t about what other people think DC, do you think I care who people think are going to win this match? Do you think I’ve taken a moment to see what anyone else thinks about the match? The only information I’ve gained on that is through you because none of that matters to me. Let them talk statistics, I’ll talk the truth. Let them guess what’s going to happen, I’ll orcastrate it. Though DC I thought you would have learned by now that I don’t care about others. I don’t care whom you lost to and what they’re doing. For the King of PWT tournament is the center of attention, and if you crave to be in the center so bad looks as if you’ll have to oust me. Which is something that’s not going to happen simply because you have been and will be out performed. Though I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt just for argument sake. Say you did beat me, who would care? You. No one would care, no one would talk about it. You think PWT is the topic of conversations in other federations? Perhaps a mention here or there as is with most federations but that’s it. You’re the only one who would make a big deal of it as if you’re a poor man who struck gold. Yet at the end of the day, you just got lucky, right DC?�?/FONT>
Seifer appears again, winking his eye, for that’s just the excuse DC was making earlier.
“Now this may shock you for it’s taking a more humble approach but I am not the man to beat right now. Sure you need to beat me to enable yourself a chance at the crown, yet beating me, does nothing. It wouldn’t make you King, it wouldn’t make you champion of anything, it would be as eventless as when you defeated Hexus. It’s not as if it’s going to destroy my career. Though unfortunately for you all of this is just heresy seeing as I have no intentions on losing this match. I’m not like Hexus, I’m not like Damien, I have a much higher level of determination, higher level of will to win, to come out victorious. What your problem is is that you’re too focused on what others think, it’s them who drives you, isn’t it? They say you’re going to lose, you want to prove them wrong. For me it’s different. I say I’m going to win, I want to prove myself right and my opponent wrong, no outside influence when it comes down to my passion. You being the bad guy is about as credible as me watching Spongebath�?what the fuck? Stop being stupid Child. No one thinks of you as bad, they feel sorry for you. Sorry that despite how hard you try sometimes, you always seem to fall a bit short. Yes, always falling short, much like your entire career in BUD. As I said, everyone gets lucky sometimes, especially the longer time you spend in a company. No one ripped your legacy apart seeing as it wasn’t anything grand to begin with. No one made me huge Child, I went in there and dominated, I went in there and raised people’s games, I went in there and did my thing and in doing so I earned the respect of my peers, something that you fail to do. You want respect, but you don’t want to earn it. I was HUGE and GREAT there because I’m, to borrow a line from Triple H, that damn good. You? You made yourself look WEAK and PATHETIC. Always returning to BUD and going at OBM and the Originators until you started losing again, then you made up and became his bitch before leaving and then returning and doing the same thing, again and again. It’s no wonder people take you for a fucking joke there. Then again it’s only a matter of time before you keep dropping the ball here and people realize you ain’t worth the push they’re GIVING you, not something you earned. That’s when they’ll look at you as a joke here to. Then what? You gonna go to some new federations claiming you’re a former People’s Champ and BUD Legend?�?/FONT>
Laughter can be heard from Seifer.
“Give me a break dude, that’s almost as crazy as you thinking I’m untouchable. Nah, if anyone is an untouchable it’s you because you’re an outcast to society. Where as me? I’m not an outcast, I’m one of the higher or highest classes. I’m a guy who has tasted defeat before so not untouchable. Wanna know what my motto is? If you can believe you can achieve�?unless you’re facing Seifer in which case you’re fucked.�?/FONT>
“Once more Dark Child, what does David Van Dam’s speech have anything to do with this match?! Seriously, you jump around more than Axel Rose on acid. Why don’t you try to stick to one topic and finish it before moving onto something else rather than throwing all this randomness at me because it makes your promo longer. I swear if this match were to be based on quality of promos you’d have already lost because you’ve given me no quality whatsoever. Stop providing fillers and wasting my time, please. How can you say you’re not going to be walking into this match as the underdog, yet you’re going to defy the odds? Doesn’t that mean you’re admitting you’re the underdog thus contradicting yourself?�?/FONT>
ZING!! Seifer smiles though we can’t see it. Rather we see another flurry of sand. Seifer’s figure is shown again, holding the sand until he stops, the cameras zoom in and the entire screen lightens a little. We find Seifer sitting on a black leather chair still in his robe. The room behind him is one of emptiness, clearly something almost taken from a Hollywood setting to provide the special effects he was providing earlier. He still has his robe on but now he removes the hood.
“You aren’t going to win Jamal. This isn’t my arrogance speaking either. You know deep down inside you’re not as good as me. You know deep down inside you can’t beat me, you even said it yourself when you get frustrated not really knowing you can do this. That leaves a trail of doubt in your mind. To get rid of that doubt you’re trying to convince yourself that this is your ‘destiny�? Destiny�?the very word that has been whored out the last couple of years. This isn’t your destiny, it’s your dream. Yet you lack the inner strength to defeat me. Without that you are nothing and will forever be nothing. I’m not going to bash you for praying if that’s what you think it’ll take to get it done. I’m going to bash you because ONCE AGAIN it has nothing to do with this match. Sure telling me you’ll be praying does, but turning a new leaf over? Going to Heaven? Wow, I don’t care. I’m not killing you so what difference does it make at the moment? None at all, at least not to me and not to wrestling fans who want to see how much more shit talk you’re going to throw my way trying to impress the multitudes when the only people you’ve impressed is yourself and close allies.�?/FONT>
Seifer slightly shakes his head, it was clear Dark Child was less as intelligent than Seifer and he was proving it, it’d take an idiot to not see it.
“I haven’t bullshitted anything but I guess I can’t comment further because it was yet another thing you brought up but didn’t finish your thought and moved on to the next thing. If I could wish one thing for you Jamal is that you wouldn’t jump around so much, you have no idea how annoying that is. Though I’ll agree with you on that one, it is about how you use your skills. You have a limit and I don’t. I’ve always made sure I never have a limit so I can continue to surpass the level I’m at. Yet I’ve managed to use my skills when I have to, I’ve mastered them, something you haven’t done, something that takes a long time to master and you’re far from it. So not only do I have a higher limit then you, but I am able to use what I know more to my advantage then you do. Tis a shame though, maybe in a year from now after focusing all your energies on getting better you’d be able to beat me�?then again I doubt it, but you’d put up a better fight!�?/FONT>
“As far as having the Main Event spot�?I disagree actually. Sean is a Main Eventer here in PWT and Rebecca is not only undefeated but the woman who captured the Femme Fatale Championship in her first match. So if anyone deserves it then it is them, not you or I. Yeah I may be a big time name but you aren’t near my level, at least we KNOW that they’re going to put on a great match. You and I on the other hand? People, even yourself, know that I’m going to whip that ass and show you just how much I want to win this tournament. Though at least I’m not flaunting my ego saying that I’m the only one who deserves the Main Event. I can give credit where it’s due Jamal. And where credit is due, is to me. I may win a lot, I may sit atop the mountain but I don’t push people down, I help them up, I bring out the best in them because they know they’ve got to raise their game when fighting me and that’s when I raise mine even more. Ensuring that I win, but also pushing them to a whole ‘nother level. You? You helped shaped BUD? Yeah, you helped make it a joke. If anyone gave that company credibility it was me. I was a big, respectable name going in there and once I reached the top of the mountain good things came for BUD. People saw it in a different light because they had a credible champion, one that would beat other federations. They had someone who could carry the weight of an entire federation without breaking a sweat, I may have been on top for pretty much my entire tenure there but at least I put people over. Why do you think I lost the Heavyweight belt a few times? Giving others a chance to shine. It wasn’t all about me Child, yet every time you go back you think about yourself. You’ve always been that way so to say you’re going to win it for the people of Miami, don’t make us laugh. No one takes you seriously and if you did managed to win the crown, PWT’s stock would decline because they have a joke as a King. Much like they have a joke as Member of the Month. You may have a burning rage, a burning desire to win, yet so do I. The only thing is, when I have that burning desire, nothing stands in my way. You had it for MOD, I had it for MOD. I don’t need to tell you who has won it and who hasn’t. I had it for the PWT Championship, I won the PWT Championship. When I set my mind on something I’m going to get it and there isn’t a soul on this earth that can stop me. So throw destiny around all you want because in the end I will prove that my destiny is much more powerful than yours will ever be.�?/FONT>
Seifer leans forward now onto the table, resting his arms on it as he keeps his upper body straight.
“That’s terrific you want to go and see what Miamians think of me, as if it’s going to matter? I doubt it. You want to know why I don’t go after all the girls I can get and be a true playa? Because I don’t need to when I’ve got one that keeps me more than satisfied. Plus you know how normal people are when it comes to stars, it wouldn’t even be fun because they’d want to talk wrestling all the time, trust me, I’ve been down that road before. Though as far as blooding me up�?Child that won’t scar my face unless you tried to cut it up, which I’m not going to let happen. Besides you can bloody me up all you want, it’s part of the business, shit happens, ya know? I’d heal by the time I got back to the hotel anyways or even before then so really it won’t make much of a difference to me or her. Though why don’t you jump into the deepest black hole you can find, because you really are one ugly mother fucker.�?/FONT>
Seifer grins.
“The early bird always gets the bird?! Uh, you mean worm. And if anyone was the early bird thus far it would be me, much like it’ll be me in this match as I begin my mission on methodically break you apart, I’m sure you’ll get in some good offense but it won’t last before I come back and finish you off. You’re right, no one did expect you to get this far, then again you’ve only won two matches and we all know Hexus�?head wasn’t in his so really�?your accomplishment thus far isn’t anything special. Nor is mine which is why I don’t waste time bragging about it. I’m coming into this match to get one thing done and that’s win, that’s it. I don’t care for your well being, I don’t care if it’s a great match or a good match, I’m winning and that’s all there is to it. You aren’t even as focused as you want us to think man, I mean I could have the cops called on you for attacking a civilian. You just went up there and kicked the guy’s ass because he said something you didn’t like. Aww, poor little Dark Child had his feelings hurt, someone give him some ice cream to make him feel better. You’re weak Child, weak. Yeah, that’s right, Child, Dark Child. It’s your wrestling moniker so just because you’re using your real name doesn’t make it go away. By the way you lost to Damien for the right to call yourself ‘DC�? not Dark Child, smart one.�?/FONT>
Sarcasm oozing from that last statement as Seifer smirks before leaning back into the chair.
“Now how are you going to call me out one minute and then the next change it around and say you’d rather fight me at the arena? Isn’t that cowardly of you? But it’s alright cause firstly where I cut my promo wasn’t on the island and even if it was, it’s Key Biscayne you stupid tourist. You feel like Mickie James? So you want to be like me? Come on, just be yourself and make a name for yourself instead of saying you feel like a woman because you have a crazed thirst to win. Make that into who you are instead of stealing someone’s shit. I know what we’re talking about Child, I was merely giving background information to further hype this match since you haven’t given me much of anything to work with. I guess that’s what I’ll have to deal with when facing mid card talent, I hope you really can back up some of what you say though, I don’t want to have to carry your ass through a decent match before I finish you off. Go to sleep.�?/FONT>
Seifer brings his hands up again as the lights flicker out, we can’t see him and then he blows the sand towards the camera as it fizzles out. The lights turn back on and Seifer removes the black robe, revealing a white one underneath. One that is so bright it almost hurts the eyes. Seifer walks away from the desk and over to the center of the room, the floor is a bluish color glass as if it were on top of the ocean. Seifer stands with his arms to the side and his head bowed for a few moments, those moments ended up turning into long minutes as the room continued to lighten, the walls and ceiling were all completely white as Seifer stood there with his head bowed in silence. He wasn’t praying however�?/P>
He was listening and answering prayers for after all, to some he is consider not just a god, but God. Though that’s another story for another time.
My son Jamal, I gave you the strength so you could become a better person and help those around you, not so you can satisfy your dreams of wrestling desires. You have been a good servant yet you come to me on this day asking for me to show you the path come Saturday night, I ask you to do what is in your heart.
Seifer pauses and has a side thought to himself, And in his heart lies doubt, haha, what a sucker.
I celebrate not such things, for it is not something I celebrate, I do not condone the wrestling business for how the things they do and how they even have tried to portray me, yet I still forgive them all. It has nothing to do with celebrates my son, for you should rejoice in my name every day of the year, walk your life with me. You are a very angry man Jamal, for Seifer is not an evil man, he is a saint. Someone who has taken the gifts I have blessed him with and turned them into what is better for society. He is one of the few who have sought out to make the world a better place. He sins just like the rest of my children do, yet I forgive him much like I forgive you for all the anger and hated in your heart. I am not going to aid you in a battle that you choose to fight in for I already know the outcome. All I will say is this my son, do not lose faith if you should lose. If that happens then I will be very disappointed in you. Remember the book of Job my son, I took everything from Job and still he came to me even when I kept taking from him. Because of his loyalty I soon blessed him with riches far more than what he had previously. Remember that as you go into battle for soon your darkest hour will come. I do not appreciate you calling yourself the Anti-Immortal, it is an insult to me who is the one true immortal, yet I forgive you my son, as I always will even when you fail and decide to curse me out. Remember that you have to pick yourself up after defeat and move on and continue to walk the path with me for I will show you greater things then the King of PWT crown.
Seifer is still silent with his head still bowed but a grin is seen on his face as the scene fades to white.
Opening up just a few short hours later we find ourselves looking up at the starry night sky. The location is still unknown at the moment but the voice of Seifer is heard and thus we pay attention.
“You have mistaken what I’ve said Jamal or rather you have taken it in the wrong context my actions. I do not act as if I’m already King, as if I already have the crown. I simply told you from a match perspective this isn’t going to be one that will go down in the record books. It’s just another rung on my ladder to the crown, sorry to burst your bubble there. Then again I don’t think there is a bubble of yours left for me to burst. I don’t want to hear your pity stories about how you are nothing, how you’re record is a losing one, and everything else you said that just oozes a lack of self confidence, I could have told you that so if you think it’s going to get me to feel sorry for you, have pity and mercy on you then you’re wrong. While I may not be looking to make this a superb match, I am looking to win, that means that you’re fucked Child. Not just in the ring but mentally right now for every time you contradict yourself, I expose you. So now it’s ‘big fucking deal�?that I’m MOD Champion? Yet earlier you were preaching how when you’d win it I’d call you Master. It appears as if little darky is beginning to get a bit heated under the collar. You’re cracking under the pressure of being this close to D-Day, being this close to when the two of us meet and battle it out in that ring. I can see it and everyone else can’t, for those who can’t I’m showing them how you’re cracking away at the edges and soon I’m going to truly expose your weakness. As far as you having power�?you have no power Dark Child so quit attempting to put on a façade that says you do when you yourself know that you aren’t going to come out and beat me. Proof of this is what you said next. How I suck as a wrestler. That’s one thing I never liked about you Jamal, is that no matter what the circumstance is you were blind to the obvious. Saying I suck at wrestling is like telling Michael Jordan he wasn’t a good basketball player at all. There’s just no fact to it, there’s no reasoning and it only makes you out to be a complete and utter moron. Thank you for further proving my point on why not only will you lose tonight, but why you don’t deserve to be King.�?/FONT>
The cameras now fade down from the skies as we see Seifer leaning up against a wall. It is one of the few sections sticking out above the roof we’re on. Seifer seems calm and relaxed yet his eyes spill determination. He wasn’t rattled, just ready.
