Tortured Soul (Leviathan, Nitro, Didi, Scythe)

[SwitchBack]

Failure. That was the only word for it. Against All Odds had been the end of all things for one man. That man was Warren Peace, who is now found in his locker room, alone.

[glow=blue,2,300]"What? How could this happen? One week ago, The Kings of Hardcore on top of the world, Didi beginning to show some compassion. And now ... nothing. Scythe using the excuse that I am no longer a title holder to avoid facing me in the ring. Fear. Yes, fear. Of course. The great Scythe fears Warren Peace!"[/glow]

Warren laughs to himself at this thought.

[glow=blue,2,300]"And Didi ... Sweet Didi, what has become of you? Perhaps the stories about your love of gold are true after all ... but not any gold is enough, it must be the most coveted prize in OCW to win your affections. What else could Nitro have to offer you?"[/glow]

Warren sighs as he replays the events of Against All Odds in his mind. He sits up suddenly as if an idea has just struck him.

[glow=blue,2,300]"A new beginning, yes. It is time for greatness to walk these halls again. And once I have faced Leviathan, and ended his Gauntlet, I will find what I am looking for ..."[/glow]

Warren turns towards the camera as a sadistic smile forms on his lips.

OOC: TAG OR FADE

[Deathie]

{Warren's smile quickly changes to an expresion of surprise as, from off-camera a familiar feminine voice is heard.}

Didi: Are you sure that you know WHAT it is that you are looking for?

{Warrens head snaps to the left. The camera follows his lead & pans over to show Didi before zooming out to put Warren & Didi in the shot together. Warren opens his mouth to speak but Didi resumes speaking before he can utter a syllable.}

Didi: You seem to be so inaccurate in how you perceive things that I have to wonder if what you believe that you are seeking is actually what you are looking FOR. Against All Odds was a difficult night for you…I believe that your judgment has suffered as well.

{She walks closer to Warren, a devious smirk forming on her face.}

Didi: Scythe fears NO shorttimer, Mr. Peace. Had you not so arrogantly placed your half of the OCW Tag Team Championship on the line in some bizarre stipulation match, you would be preparing to face Scythe at Adrenaline. Perhaps Renegade might have been more protective of his partner were his own half of the belt in jeopardy. Maybe Renegade is the man you should be focusing on…Instead you present yourself as a sacrificial lamb at the feet of Leviathan.

{Didi circles around Warren once stopping in front of him & fixing him with an emotionless smile.}

Didi: You speak of my lust for gold…I do lust, Mr. Peace…but not for gold. Titles are coveted by The Creatures of the Night. They are a symbol of their power & control…I merely seek to liberate you & your compatriots of those symbols. Perhaps without them, your cTn won’t seem as imposing to the rest of OCW’s roster…perhaps not a lucrative to some of their membership, as well. (a mischievous glare fills her eyes) I must thank you for helping to consolidate some titles, Mr. Peace…It lessens our targets.

{Didi walks toward the door, pausing as she reaches it. She turns back to Warren with a malicious smile on her face.}

Didi: You pondered what Nitro could have to offer me, Mr. Peace? (she rubs her bruised face) He certainly can offer me more than you did as your cTn comrades assaulted me. Perhaps the disappointment of losing your belt had overcome you…perhaps your love of gold would not allow you to interfere with their machinations.

{Didi reaches for the doorknob. Just as she touches it the lights briefly flicker 3 times. The lights return to normal showing Warren alone again in his locker room

Warren ponders Didi's words for a few moments before turning towards the camera.

[glow=blue,2,300]"I hope you're listening Didi. Your little games might work on the fragile minds of people like Nitro, but they have no effect on me. Do you really think I would turn my back on my friends, just because I lost my half of the Tag Team Title? You, like so many others before you, have underestimated me. Perhaps in the last few weeks I may have been misguided; maybe I thought I saw something in you. I was wrong; you are no different from any of the other so-called "short-timers" around here. You have been a distraction in recent weeks, but when I enter that ring and end Leviathan's Gauntlet, I will prove to you, the rest of OCW and the world that I am back to claim my rightful place in OCW history!"[/glow]

Warren pauses to crack his knuckles.

[glow=blue,2,300]"Today, Leviathan will learn the true meaning of respect."[/glow]
