October 30th, 2017 - LIVE at The 13th Ring
Scorpion: I'M THE FIRST MEMBER OF TEAM AU!!!
The crowd explodes like thunder! They can't believe it! Scorpion is returning to the ring once more to take on team FWA! He will lead team XHF:AU! The whole of the Legion venue seems to shake as the crowd go wild! Duke Kosloff is in shock, he looks back towards the ramp then charges his fist towards Scorpion! Scorpion ducks and kicks him in the gut! He goes to hit a massive lariat off of the ropes but Kosloff ducks and rolls out of the ring! The crowd go crazy as Kosloff stands holding his gut on the outside and Scorpion raises his arm high in the air for the world to see. As Kosloff storms off furious to the back, Scorpion celebrates in the ring. He then walks into the back, shaking hands with fans. He walks up the ramp into the back. As soon as he walks through guerilla, a duo of men clad in all black from head to toe emerge from the shadows with baseball bats in hand, and just destroy Scorpion, going crazy attacking him.
CRASH! BANG! ALAKAZAM!
The two men beat Scorpion to a pulp as people just stand around, watching. They then put his body in a straightjacket, put a bag over his head, and drag him to a black van. They toss him in the back and climb in behind him, and speed off from the Legion venue.
November 3rd, 2017 - Backstage at Friday Night Coldwar
We see Dylan Black walk into a room with a plaque next to it that states Butyrka prison Warden beside the doorway. He closes the door to the room behind him, and notices Levi Kosloff sitting behind a desk in the room, his arms crossed and a smile on his face. To the side, are a few unknown men sitting on a couch, clad in all black and with rifles by their feet. That’s probably for if Ozy goes rogue, or if anyone dares to attack Levi or Duke, he thinks. Levi motions for Black to sit in the empty chair in front of him. Black takes off his sunglasses, placing them on his forehead as he sits in the chair. Levi leans forward and slides an envelope towards Black. Black eyes it but says nothing, then looks back up in the face of The Godfather.
Levi: Mr. Black, I’m glad you have decided to take me up on my offer. In that envelope is the payment for completing the last job, in full. Now, you remember what you must do next, right? What the terms of our agreement were? Let me remind you who I am, where we are, and what I can do for you. You’re in Moscow, Russia. I practically own this country! I can get you anything. Now, get out of my office. I have important work to complete.
Black nods and stands up, grabbing the envelope and pocketing it, and gets up and begins to walk outside the room, putting his sunglasses over his eyes.
Levi: Oh, Mr. Black? One more thing…
Black stops and semi turns around, staring holes into the fearless Godfather.
Levi: ...Duke wishes to speak with you. I wouldn’t keep him waiting though, he’s not as nice as myself.
Black nods again, and he walks outside, leaning against the wall and pulling out the envelope of cash and begins to count it. As he begins to count, he hears Levi’s voice cut through the air.
Levi: Boys, keep an eye out for Black and Dackle. Those two are dangerous guys, and I’d hate to be on the receiving end of their anger. Again, they’re very dangerous men.
Black smirks. Damn right you should be scared, Levi. Black finishes counting the cash in the envelope. $50,000 USD, as promised. He pockets the money and picks up Crimson, whistling and carelessly swinging Crimson around. Backstage employees cower away, hoping to not get hit by Crimson. He walks up to another door, this one marked with a big K on the door. He knocks, and Duke answers.
Duke: Come in.
Black walks into the room to find a similar setting as the one he left a few minutes before. Duke is sitting behind a desk, completely empty on the top. There is no chair for Black to sit in, so he just leans against the wall, arms crossed. On two separate seats in the room, are Black’s partner “Scorpion” Steven Dackle, and Duke’s enforcer, “The Doctor of Chaos” Rob Wyatt. Black nods at all three men, and Duke begins to speak.
Duke: At ease, Black. It’s just us four here… Alright, now that we’re all here, we have a big problem. The chances of one of us bringing in that Cold War Championship are a slim 33%. So we’re going to eliminate some factors. Wyatt, I want you to go to Lethe’s locker room and destroy her. Make it so she can’t compete tonight. Do that, and you’ll get a shot at the Cold War title next week.
Wyatt nods and leaves the room. Kosloff turns to Dackle.
Duke: Now, Steven, as much as it pains me to say this, I need you to lose to Grace. I say this is because Wyatt gets a shot next week, and both you and Black will be fighting for the Firestorm Heavyweight Championship. You just gotta beat your opponents, Lethe and Jordan what's-his-face, respectively. So long as you two win your matches, it’ll be an easy breeze bringing the gold closer home to the Soviet Connection. You two will get a Fire and Ice Championship shot eventually, and that’ll leave just the Hardcore title and Women’s titles. But let’s focus on the task at hand. Dackle, I hear them announcing you so you better get in guerilla.
Dackle walks out, fist bumping Black as he leaves to execute their plan. Duke then turns to Black.
Duke: And that leaves you, Black. I’m sure you met up with my cousin, Levi, right? You got the cash you earned from the last job? Alright, well now I need you to go get you-know-who and get ready to bring him out to ringside for after the match. I have plans for that piece of shit.
Black grins and walks out, walking deeper into the complex to an unmarked cell. In the cell, clad in a straightjacket and a bag over their face, is obviously a prisoner of some sort. Black takes the handle of Crimson and raises it up above his head.
CRACK!
Black brings the handle down, hard, on the top of this mysterious mans head. He laughs, and takes a step back, and the man groans on the ground.
CRUNCH!
He takes that handle and smashes it straight into the guys clavicle. The man by now is coughing, as the front of the bag turns reddish. He lets out a barely audible “Please….. Don’t…..” as Black picks up a china plate that was kept in the cell.
GLASS SHATTERING SOUND! THUMP!
Black smashes the heavy plate over the prisoner's head, and he slumps over, presumably unconscious. He grins, picking up the guy and dragging him outside and comes face-to-face with Dackle.
Dackle: What took so long? Were you beating his ass more?
Black: All in good fun, eh buddy? Help me drag his sorry ass out to the pasture for Duke.
The Darkness lift up the prisoner and carry/drag him outside to Duke and Wyatt. As The Darkness enters the ring with this mystery person Duke Kosloff point to them to remove the bag.
Alexander Socrates: What the hell! The Darkness just brought XHF: AU's Scorpion out here to the owner Duke Kosloff.
Nikkoli Putski: Yeah, it looks like they have done a number on him, you can see his face is all bloody.
Alexander Socrates: I know Scorpion is XHF: AU's team leader to face FWA at Xtraction, but I didn't think he would have him beaten and brought here tonight.
Nikkoli Putski: Well, Duke Kosloff is a Soviet Monster. He has no feelings for anyone no remorse and well, he does what’s best for him and his company.
The Soviet Monster reaches out grabbing Scorpion by the face forcing him to look him in the eyes.
Duke Kosloff: Scorpion, remember you started this. Now I wanted you to see first hand what you have to fear come Xtraction. I assume you have met two of your opponents in our little match, the most dangerous tag team in the business today, Dylan Black and Steven Dackle, THE DARKNESS! That will be the only members you get to meet today, but I want you to give your boss a little message for me. Boys get me the gasoline.
The Darkness jump out of the ring grabbing two gas cans sitting next to the announce table as Scorpion sits on his knees barely able to move. The Darkness step back into the ring walking up behind the beaten and broken Scorpion waiting for Duke Kosloff to give them their orders.
Alexander Socrates: I can't believe this! You don't actually think he is going to do what we're all thinking, right?
Nikkoli Putski: I don't know but The Soviet Monster is living up to his name he just told the Darkness to pour the gas on Scorpion.
Alexander Socrates: ......And they're doing it! This is crazy! I know here in the FWA there are no rules no law but this is going way beyond HARDCORE.......
Duke Kosloff pulls out his old trusty gold lighter and flicks it open lighting it up a small flame starts to burn. Duke lifts the microphone back up to his mouth to speak once more.
Duke Kosloff: Scorpion, I want you to remember this moment the moment you became history! Now let your boss know that come Xtraction, he and all of XHF:AU will FEEL THE BURN!!!!!!!
Duke puts the fire to the gasoline and with his Soviet Connection by his side, laughs as AU’s Scorpion is set aflame. The four men walk into the back as people come with fire extinguishers to put out the burning wreck that is Scorpion.
