Roleplay for the End of Day's Night Three X*Crown Qualifiers (vs. Lucas Swann)
September 15th, 2019
Feargal’s Basement, Earth IX
Feargal’s Basement, Earth IX
Maverick: So tell me this, what does it look like for me now? You've showed me the point of a fucking breakdown and have made me suffer one, what do I look like now? Do I look any buffer than what I am now? Do I weigh a bit more? Am I taller? Is my dick bigge-
Man: Okay, stop. I can't answer all of those questions because some of them are one side of the scale and the rest are on the other side.
Maverick: Considering I'm on the side where I'm in the Infinity Realms, where does that put me?
Man: Well, when it's on the futures where you did retire and then came here... You've gained weight and have gotten a bit sleeker looking. 195 pounds is what you're destined to be weighed in at an MCCW show against it's former Champio-
Maverick: Excuse me?
Man: I should have told you this, how silly of me. You actually didn't resign with AWF, you went to Master Class Championship Wrestling and signed there, you met with Aleister Mayfield and wrote your name on the contract.
Maverick: I remember Aleister, I remember Master Class Championship Wrestling, I remember Master Clash. Myself and Drago, Tag Team Champions and we fought Nelly and Randy Angel, Dos Angeles they called themselves. I remember it clearly.
Man: That's strange, you remembered it a few minutes ago.
Maverick looks at the man with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Man: Oh shit, you're suffering from Memory Loss! That was what I had hoped wouldn't happen when walking through these time warps.
Maverick: What's going on?
Man: Jay, tell me something that helps you sleep?
Maverick: Well, there's music I listen to. Would you like me to play you some?
Man: Not needed, but I'll give you a quicker way of sleeping.
The man pulls out some sort of futuristic device from his pocket, he places it on the neck of Maverick before pushing one of it's buttons. Maverick's eyes roll into the back of his head as he falls back onto the floor. His head bouncing off the ground upon impact. The man slaps his face a few times before standing up straight again.
Man: See you in a few hours, Jay.
Fade to black.
Few Hours Later.
The scene begins with Maverick back in the same dressing room from earlier, laying down in the makeshift bed he made for himself for the time he's been in the realms, as he sits up and holds the back of his head. He begins to look around the room, nothing's changed except for the television that's now turned on. It's not displayed anything since August 13th, the last known episode of Infinity Realm Wrestling's set date. Only static is shown before it cuts to The XHF Network itself. First, it shows Nathan Santiago and his new stable, The Cure. Then Bobby Barratt losing to Anthony Caffrey at Night of Champions 10 as he also disappeared off the radar. Then to Ascension Wrestling Federation's Fired Up tournament, where Drago and Hyperion battled in the finals where Hyperion became the new Prestige Champion. And then one more jump cut to Master Class Championship Wrestling's Mastery In Detroit show, an after-show press conference begins to air. That press conference is the only thing that doesn't jump cut to anything as we see Aleister Mayfield appear on the screen in front of a crowd of reporters, holding their cameras and microphones up high to capture any news that man's ready to speak of. He speaks of the new signings that his promotion has gained whilst The Mastery Tour continued on, some of the roster members that they'll release due to substance abuse and then one announcement that leaves Maverick's jaw dropped.
Aleister Mayfield: ...And I am pleased to announce returning to MCCW to join our roster full-time is none other than a former AWF United States Champion and XHF Tag Team Champion, "The Iconic Prince" Maverick! He is one of our biggest signings coming out of the Mastery Tour and with that, I am also pleased to announce that he will represent MCCW as we come one step closer to holding one of the XHF's biggest prizes, The X*Crown Championship! He will join many others as End of Days rolls closer, and I wish him the best of luck with his journey on bringing the X*Crown to MCCW...
Maverick raises both hands to his face, covering it whole as he comes to the realization of what he's just heard. He raises his head out of his hands and quickly gets to his feet, he grabs his phone from the bench where it's been left to charge and checks the date... Still September 15th. He turns around to go back onto the makeshift bed but as he turns, he notices a figure by the door of the room. Maverick jumps, startled by the sudden appearance of the man in a trench coat. The man smiles, near enough to make it out to be a smirk as a slight chuckle comes from the man.
Maverick: Who the fuck are you? How the fuck did you get in here?
Man: Do you not remember me? Maybe it's the change of look, I had to, I apologize.
Maverick: ...you're the same guy from earlier?
Man: Yes, I had to... do some things whilst you slept.
Maverick: Yeah, I was about to ask what the fuck did you do to me?
The man sighs.
Man: I put you to sleep, that's all. Your memory was beginning to wipe away, I had to do some experiments to make sure I wouldn't lose all of your memories. I'd expect you'd like to keep all of them, would you?
Maverick nods, he then looks closer at the trench coat that the man appears to be wearing, noticing the bullet holes in it. The man looks down at where Maverick looks and sees the holes in his jacket for himself.
Man: I can explain those.
Maverick: Yeah you can, now fucking speak up.
Man: Fine, I know you wanted to know more about me anyway, so here it goes. My name is Jason, a genetically advanced human from the 6th Dimension. I was told to come here to help you find your way, relive the moments some of the futures hold for you so you can change them when you back to the present day. Call this a job I took to escape, if you will.
Maverick: A job you took to escape? What does that mean?
Jason: I'm a war criminal on that dimension, I was on the run and I had to escape.
Maverick: ...What did you do?
Jason pauses for a moment to think.
Jason: Have you ever heard of the Atomic Bombings in Hiroshima on the dates of August 6th and 9th in 1945?
Maverick nods.
Jason: Think of something like that, but in London, and all in one day.
Maverick: How many did you kill?
Jason: Hiroshima in your dimension killed roughly around 146 thousand people. London, in my dimension, holds over 10 million people... and I wiped out 2 million of them.
Maverick: You sick bastard. YOU SET A TERRORIST ATTACK ON LONDON AND KILLED TWO MILLION INNOCENT PEOPLE!
Jason: I told you I was a War Criminal, Jay, I was doing what needed to be done to save my world! A sacrifice is made nearly everyday, and I had to make a sacrifice that fateful day. I always went by that one verse in the bible, Jay. He who says he abides in him ought himself also to walk just as he walked, John 2:6
Maverick: You think you're gods gift to this entire world, don't you?
Jason: I don't think of it, Jay, I know of it. I stopped World War Four, I saved billions from that tragedy that would have wiped out the entire world and ruined everything we've developed.
Maverick: There's four other doors out there, how about you take me to your world and let me see the damage you caused.
Jason: If you insist.
Maverick: How good are you with... that look? Are you going to be safe?
Jason: Totally new look, it'll take them hours to track me with sensors. Enough time to go in there and out.
Maverick: Let's do it then.
Jason turns and opens the door that's behind him and leaves the dressing room, Maverick follows, closing the door behind him. Jason heads down the hallway and faces the door opposite of the door they entered earlier. As Maverick moves closer to Jason, he reaches up to the plaque that's covered in some sort of dust particles and brushes it away. The plaque reads a date like the one before... "September 15th" Maverick takes notice of the date but doesn't speak a word of it, Jason opens the door and walks through, as does Maverick a few seconds after he enters. The door shuts before the scene travels to...
September 15th, 2019
London, England
Earth VI
...As we open up to what can be only described as a warzone, both Maverick and Jason walk through what seems like a metaled hatch in the ground. Jason looks out on the patch of land that's nothing more but fallen rubble of destroyed buildings from a height whilst Maverick looks around and somewhat admiring the city's destruction.
Maverick: So you did this?
Jason: Yes, though at the time... I felt like I was being forced to do such a heinous crime.
Maverick: I thought you said you did it to save your world?
Jason: I did, it ended World War Four. Saved billions of lives all to end two million of them. Innocent men, women and children... all murdered on a cold rainy day in London, their blood on my hands, and I cannot let that go.
Maverick: I can see why.
Maverick climbs the rubble that Jason stands on, looking out to the land that he also sees.
Maverick: So tell me about my dimension, my own world. Tell me about End of Days.
Jason: You saw the transmission, didn't you?
Maverick: I woke up to the damned thing.
Jason: Of course. Back in your earth, you met with Aleister Mayfield and signed on the dotted line, as you might have been aware.
Maverick: And I decided to be their representative for that X*Crown Match?
Jason: Yes, you volunteered. And you'll have to qualify against Lucas Swann.
Maverick looks at Jason with a surprised look.
Maverick: Since when did Brad change his name to Lucas? Is this like a different dimension Brad Swann?
Jason: Nope, none at all. They're not even connected in any way. In my world, Brad Swann disappeared and died. In your world, he still remains to be XHF European Champion... and alive.
Maverick: Tell me more about this Lucas Swann. Who exactly is he?
Jason: He went under the allias of Zack Sawyer in AWF, went off the radar and came back, joining PSW and changing his name after his attempts to be like his brother. He claimed he found his voice, his style and himself... Renaming himself along the way.
Maverick: Be like his brother?
Jason: He claimed after watching his own brother compete in the ring once, he decided to get into professional wrestling and in the efforts to follow the same pursuit of success, he named himself after his brother but his attempts in being in the same success boat as his brother seemed to have been unsuccessful for Lucas.
Maverick: Typical.
A drone is seen scanning the area as it hovers past the duo.
Jason: There's a lot of ugly things in this world, Jay. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible.
Maverick: To Kill A Mockingbird?
Jason: The one and only. You entering the realms in the first place was a mistake. That "Random Hero Selector" picked you by accident. If it wasn't for that, then you'd be still at home.
Maverick: In better terms of putting it, I was shit out of luck.
Jason cracks a smile.
Jason: I guess you could say that. At least you could say you didn't murder millions just to end a war of humanity and technology.
Maverick: I wonder what this dimension's Maverick is doing right now.
Jason looks down at Maverick, opening his mouth to say something but holds it back, like a secret he's not telling. Jason looks away from Maverick, before he's tapped on the leg by Maverick.
Maverick: What is this dimension's me doing here? Is he safe?
Jason: Oh he's safe, don't worry about that. He's... he's residing in Ohio, where he's at home, safe and sound.
Maverick: What about Hanna?
Jason is left silent, unknowing how to answer the question at all.
Maverick: Jason, what happened?
Jason sighs, looking at Maverick and silently pleading for him not to answer.
Maverick: What happened to her!
Jason: She... I... You went on a trip to Cleveland, you went to a bar whilst she went off to a local mall with some friends of hers. And... a bomb went off inside of the mall. Killing her, and their daughter.
Maverick: Thei- Their daughter?
Jason: Yes, yourself and Hanna in this world had a baby girl named Alannah. She was only two when the incident occurred.
Maverick: When did this happen? How did this happen?
Jason: September 15th, today. It was a robotic attack drone, self-destructed in the mall along with seven others. One was right beside the two of them when it detonated.
Although unseen by Maverick himself, Jason's eyes begin to water up, like he's about to start crying. He wipes the tears away before Maverick could take notice.
Maverick: Jesus fucking Christ... We need to stop it.
Jason: We can't. I tried so hard but nothing could save her. Nothing. That attack was what started World War Four. Targeted 13 different cities around the world. It took me 7 months after this started when I set off that detonation.
Maverick looks around with a face of shock, unknowing what else to say as he begins to walk away from the rubble and head towards the metal hatch where they came from.
Jason: Jay! Come back, it's not safe.
Maverick: I wanna go back, I don't want to be here. Let's just go back.
Jason: Okay, okay... Let's go.
Jason climbs down the rubble and heads for the hatch, he spins the handle around and pulls it towards him, opening the hatch as the interior of Feargal's Basement is seen from inside of the hatch, Maverick is the first to enter before being followed by Jason as he closes the hatch shut, ending the scene with an explosion as we cut to black.
Man: Well, when it's on the futures where you did retire and then came here... You've gained weight and have gotten a bit sleeker looking. 195 pounds is what you're destined to be weighed in at an MCCW show against it's former Champio-
Maverick: Excuse me?
Man: I should have told you this, how silly of me. You actually didn't resign with AWF, you went to Master Class Championship Wrestling and signed there, you met with Aleister Mayfield and wrote your name on the contract.
Maverick: I remember Aleister, I remember Master Class Championship Wrestling, I remember Master Clash. Myself and Drago, Tag Team Champions and we fought Nelly and Randy Angel, Dos Angeles they called themselves. I remember it clearly.
