Feeding The Hunger (o2a)

[DARKSIDE]

The arena goes dark and Nightmare's entrance music begins to play. The beast emerges from backstage through a cloud of red smoke and pyro. He walks to the ring to a chorus of mixed reactions from the crowd. He hauls his 338 lb frame up onto the ring apron and then he steps over the top rope.

What madness is THIS? Last week, I fought Leon Graves in what served as a brutal rite of passage. His resolve was admirable, but not nearly enough to defeat me. I have sent him on to bigger and better things, as he has come to me and his thirst for combat made an impression on me. A "rare" impression so few of you mortals have made on me in all my life. Those who impress me may possibly gain some respect. Most of you fail miserably and prove what I have known since the beginning of time....HUMANKIND IS A DISEASE...and it is the purpose of me and my kind to eradicate it from this world!

Which brings me to tonight. Was no one "brave" enough to step forward since viewing what I did to Mr. Graves that I am now left with no opponent for this week? Surely, one of you putrid pus bags has the delusion of thinking you can survive after invading my personal space.[/b]

Suddenly, Angel walks out onto the stage with a mic of her own....

You're right, Nightmare. Nobody wants a piece of THAT action! They're all scared little mice, huddled in some dark, secluded corner in the back. They saw how brutally you beat that poor Leon guy last week, and now nobody else has the guts to come out there when you're around.

Same goes for me, I guess[/b]

Angel slithers under the bottom rope and walks toward Nightmare...

I also have NO MATCH for this week's show. Ha ha... Looks like we get the night off![/b]

Nightmare nods for a moment and then strokes his chin as a sinister thought crosses his mind....

No.

No, we will have our time. Angel, our mission to exterminate these humans is never-ending. You know this! We MUST continue on our chosen path. I have a great idea....[/b]

Nightmare calls out in a loud, almost lion-like roar so the whole arena can hear...

ANGEL AND I WILL NOT BE DENIED!

The gauntlet has been thrown, mortals! Any two vermin lurking in the back....get out here and face your doom! Angel....and I.....hardcore tornado tag rules!!

Who among you is foolish enough to make the ultimate sacrifice??[/b]

Nightmare lowers his mic and focuses his glowing yellow eyes toward the stage in a furious, hungry glare. Angel crouches beside her master and wraps her arms around his leg as she awaits a response as well.....

[Raiyven]

Raiyven's fight music plays as she walks to the stage with her street clothes on. She has a mic and then starts pointing at the crowd.

You don't have a fight? You must of got some brain loss like the other barbies earlier tonight. You came out an issued a challenge and then I accepted. And like the barbie under that face paint you did was run away. I guess thinking that next week was better for you than facing me tonight.

You see I don't have a tag partner. I am a loner as you well know. After what I did to Moneymaker earlier tonight. But I will tell you this like I told you an hour ago and that is I am here to fight and will fight tonight. The problem is that you got your big cyclopse over there protecting you once again. But if it takes a man to be my tag partner then so be it. All I want is a fight and remember the last man that got in the ring with me got his ass beat too.

So it doesn't matter to me. I can get one of these redneck drunks to be my tag team partner. All I want is you in the ring. To show the world you are not as good as you claim to be. But I will tell you what. Tonight you guys ain't gotta run away or make excuses to get in the ring. You just come on in and partner or no partner I will take you both on. Just so I can get my hands on your pretty little hair princess!

Raiyven waits to see if there is any man with any guts that will stand by her side or she will do this all alone.

[Sentoryu]

The sound of a Biwa plays,the words flow though the crowd spoken by a wise sounding Japanese elder. Your entire life has brought you to this moment. and as the last syllable fades the stage erupts in a dense fog. The crowd also erupts as appearing though the fog steps Sentoryu. Still a bit worse for wear from last weeks beat down. Even though he is still in some pain he pumps the crowd a bit then runs to the ring. As he reaches the edge if it he is propelled into the air over the ropes. Gracefully he lands then jumps to the ropes and raises his arm to bring the crowd to their feet. Turning he stands just slightly in front of Raiyven bowing deeply. He then turns to the monsters that stand on the other side of the ring. He bows quickly keeping a weary eye on both and the surrounding ringside area. He will not be caught off guard again by SS and Starr.

You think people here n the back fear you for beating Graves? He showed nothing in that match for he was beaten before he began. He was beaten because of your side show antics. He is young and has not the experience of life to stand upon to counter your parlor tricks. This woman here has and so do I This woman proved to everyone she is of a high caliber. She beat Kami. That is something your little harlot has not proven capable of.

If one were to say in a word what the condition of being a samurai is,
its basis lies first in seriously devoting one's body and soul to his
master. My master is this ring and the fans I have dedicated my life to these things. I do not fear Nightmares or Death. I am at peace in darkness. I will stand with this woman against you and your painted Kogal. I will retrive the gaunlet and meet the challenge like i meet every morning sun ...with vigor.

[AJ Pain]

A few seconds later, Epic by Atreyu played as one of the most hardcore men in history steps out beside her, armed with a kendo stick, and a can of beer.
He drinks the beer, smashes it off his forehead, and raises the kendo stick to a roaring approval before grabbing the mic from Raiyven.

No offense Sentoryu, but I got this. You've got a match already with Double S, and Starr.

Did I hear someone say, Hardcore? If I did, and I think I did, then count me in. Not just because of that, but because you got yourselves a sacrificial lamb in Graves, who needs to be introduced to the world he's stepping in. Proclaiming himself to be "The New Horror". Well, if he's the new horror, then allow me to introduce you to the tried and true Prototype Of Violence.

Now Angel. I know you hold him near and dear to your heart, and rightfully so. Any man who can take 100 chair shots to the head a night for his entire career, must be good in bed, and a good bleeder right. Your into that right, bleeders? So, don't take it personal when I use you both to send a message to him, loud and clear, as we tear this sumbitch apart hardcore style. Well, you three can be hardcore, but I prefer, HardGORE!!

He raises the kendo stick again to a loud ovation from the fans again.
They were beginning to anticipate a true hardcore feud if AJ was back to truly baptize "The New Horror" in blood here in I:W

[Sentoryu]

Looking to the sideshow freaks then to the new arrival. Sentoryu smiles.

Very well A.J. I will leave Raiyven in your very capable hands. May you show these new supposed cadaver what the meaning of true pain is.

Rolling out under the ropes to the floor Sentoryu bows deeply to Pain and Raiyven and then disappears into the sea of waiting fans as they wish him luck in his match later on in the show.

[Raiyven]

Raiyven was impressed how quick she had some real men come to her aid and not some barbie ken dolls coming to support her. She looks at Angel with pleasure as she had to address the obvious.

Looks like it is 3 vs 2 unless you can get another one of your grunge lovers to come on down to help you. It could be Graves that Pain so loved to get his hands on or could be the other loser you have in your dark past. Really to me it don't matter.

Raiyven bows to Sentoryu out of respect to him and his culture.

You are truly honorable. I won't let you down tonight because I got an agenda tonight and that is defeating this Darkside to the pulp of the core. I know that I can count on you two to do your part. Two former champions coming to the aid of one that don't give a rat's ass about what I see in the ring before us. All I know is that little princesses play with barbies. Real women like to get a little dirty. A little skin with dirt under the nails is what makes you into a real woman. So tonight it is on. The question is what do they have that can even come close to what we are gonna do?

I say it is time that we make them bleed for their lies and transgressions. I say we go in there tonight and show them what honor and being hardGore is all about. Time to make the wrongs become right and time is a wasting!

[DARKSIDE]

Angel hops up to her feet with a look of excitement...

Oh...my....GOD!! FINALLY...somebody who gets it! Somebody who isn't afraid to lose a little blood. A LOT of blood, even. Right up our alley, huh, Nightmare?

Oh...this is getting SO GOOD!![/b]

Nightmare raises his mic and points toward the stage...

Angel is right. We welcome your acceptance. We welcome ALL of you....to come to this ring...and BLEED like the pigs you are!

Angel and I with Leon Graves....versus a man with a serious death wish, a woman whose ego has been swollen by good fortune....and one who "meets each challenge like the rising sun"...or something. It makes no difference to us! We will take on ALL THREE of you. A 6-man match only breeds more carnage for us to feed off of! As for you, meet this challenge like the morning sun....for when you trifle with the darkness...it may be the LAST ray of sunlight you will ever see AGAIN![/b]

[Sentoryu]

Sentoryu stops and turns to the ring once more. Listening to what everyone had to say. Weighing each statement as it flows from one to the other. Moving slowly back to ringside Sentoryu hears the veiled attempts by Nightmare to trigger an emotion from Sentoryu. That emotion does swell in Kenshin for under his mask he smiles. Jumping back over the barrier he walks to the announce table there he is met by Kazu, who bows to his friend and mentor, then hands Sentoryu a mike. Sentoryu returns the respect and rolls back into the ring to stand in front of the abominations.His eyes squint a bit as his mind races and produces a deep chuckle as he thinks of what would Dice say to this. Laughing out loud he begins to bring the mike level.

Fukaku hamekonde chodai! korrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrra!!!

You talk of my seeing the last rays of light. I welcome that day. I live life as I am already dead. Honor is found in death for the Samurai. People that live outside my culture do not under stand this. Your talk of darkness and carnage, does not bring emotions of doubt to me. To me you are like all foreigners. You talk and talk and never really produce results from this use of words that are inflated with false truth. You Nightmare are like all Americans have been past ,present and future, talk the big talk wasting time and everyone else's energy. then if you do not get your way then you use your military , of which you stole its technology from much more intelligent countries, to bully and beat down weaker less technologically advances cultures into submission.

But the day will come that a combined force of these smaller culture will come together and stand as one against your school ground tactics. That day has come here in Canada, the home of the International peacekeepers, The home of the man that had the foresight to try to bring peace to the world. Together here in this peace loving country. A.J. Pain, Raiyven,and I will be that combining force. We will see the next rising sun we will feel the warmth of its rays as it brings the promise of a new day a better day. One that will not see a defeat for we three. But the demise of the dark as the waking sun will push you back into the hole from wince you slithered leaving your slimy slug trail in your wake.

[DARKSIDE]

I hope you can fight as well as you run your mouth, you nonsensical little man. You scoff at me and my kind, saying we only pretend to be what we say we are....while you come out here looking a rejected Power Ranger. Let me assure you, now that you have presented yourself to us...Angel and I will show you just how REAL we can be. We are not some rubber-suited Kaiju for you to sit and laugh at. No....the monsters you see in this ring are real, and we're going to make believers out of every last one of you. You come out to this ring to make light of us? You obviously have no idea how much shit you've just got yourselves in!

No matter. By the time you've realized the error of your decisions...it will already be too late!

You do well to live as though you are already dead, "samurai". Allow me and my Darkside family to deliver you to the afterlife....personally![/b]

[Sentoryu]

You are not to be taken lightly that is a fact that I do understand. You and your clans exploits in Boston are well know to me!! You on the other hand do not understand that I am not just a Power Ranger reject that you so eloquently surmised. You may see me as a caricature, a hodge podge of stereotypical Japanese traits. I am more then what you see on the surface. I too have ventured to the north east. I have battled in the ring in the Boston Gardens. I have seen your battles there with one of my oldest friends, You may recall him. The fans here in the former TNB will recall him as well. Kyrksen Havgrimur. He was at my side last year here, I regret the things I did here and am trying to make amends for them. Why do I bring up the Viking Hammer you may ask? Well you just implied you are not a Kaiju that I assure you are not. You are no Godzilla,Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, Gamera and King Ghidorah,you are not even a cheap facsimile of a Kaiju. In Boston Big K proved that he is even more then just a simple Kaiju, he showed you on many occasions that he is a true Daimajin. I have learned all he has to offer. He is the true last of the Vikings. He is the true last of the great big men. You are but a origami butterfly. A.J. will pull your wings from there roots. Raiyven will leave Angel laying in the middle of the ring like a forgotten Tamagotchi. I , the Power Ranger reject, will do what Kyrksen had done to all over you on many occasions in Boston. Stand over your prone bodies, as you look to the lights above and wonder why your darkness has failed you. You talk like you are not mortal, but yet in your history you were just two guys that did not like a former promoter, so you burnt him for something as trivial as not giving you the little things that you wanted.

Tonight That will happen once more ,before this night is though you will again not get what you want. But it will be you Angel and Graves that will perish in the flames, The flames of the Fighting War Dragon.

And as you crumble from this world into ashes I and my two teammates will again move on different courses. Mine to become the World Class Champion. Then from there only Bishamon sees my fate.

[DARKSIDE]

Angel cringes and shakes her head at the mention of a 'certain name". She grabs Nightmare's arm and exclaims, Uh-ohhh!!! Did you hear that, Nightmare? He just said the "K word"!![/b]

Havgrimur?? Really? Ah...it makes so much sense now....the way you so ambitiously threw yourself into my business. Tell me something, "ninja". Is the old nag still drawing breath? I thought Darkside sent him to rot at the gates of Valhalla years ago.

Well, congratulations. You just showed your hand, and now....I will take great pleasure in dissecting you piece by piece in honor of your fallen Viking comrade. I hope somewhere....in some broken down shanty, or wherever that piece of Norse crap is watching from....that he sees that we have returned...realizes that he failed in destroying us....and that he pays very close attention to our match so he can see us seperate his dear friend here into 5 equal pieces!! Best part of all this is...there's not a DAMN THING he can do about it!

A damn thing ANY of you...can do about it!![/b]

[Sentoryu]

Sentoryu shifts a bit as he is noticing how his newest teammates seem to be very quiet. Have they lost their nerve? Has Darkside's rhetoric and demeanor caused their faith in their own skills to wane? Had Darkside touched their hidden fears? Or was it they seen what fate has in store for them in the eyes of this dark madness that stands before them in the waiting arms of the clan known as Darkside!! Sentoryu did not have those answers. The only answer he had is that he does not fear the known, for he knew this creatures. Sentoryu had seen them battle and fall away from the hammer sized mitts of his training partner and confidant Kyrksen. Sentoryu knew how to deal with this buffoons as Big K called them. Sentoryu knew their weaknesses though they are not of great supply, he knew what they were and how to use them against them. Clearing his mind he smirks ,his eyes crowfeet as he does, the little sparkle of laughter shining brightly in his eyes. He could feel that he was back to his old self, his 2010 self, yes he had forgiven the company and its owner for the things done to him back then. He had found peace. Steeling himself once more he mutters

That peace I will bring to you two as well very soon.

Nightmare I seen a slight hint of fear pass though you at the sound of his name. But do not worry he is not gone. He is not waiting at the gates of Valhalla. He is Valhalla You can not destroy what is indestructible. But if you like I could call him right now and have him drive over here and crush you like the little dung beetle you are. Well with that being said, Do not fear he has better things to do then come and embarrass you over and over like he had in Boston for seven years. He has trainees to train and a company to run. He is a 50 percent share holder and Chief operating officer of Fuyuki Entertainment Group. It is a Multi billion dollar enterprise,he can not bother with trivial matters of Peons like Darkside.

Now I am usually quiet man of few words, speaking with my actions in the ring, I will now move out of this situation and quietly prepare for what maybe the most important night of my season. The demise of Darkside and the retribution that will fall hard on Brent Starr and Double S. So till later Nightmare enjoy your time you had here tonight in the center of the ring Soon you will not be vertical in it. Bring your tanning gel your Darkside may burn under the hot lights here in Hamilton because you will be stretched out looking up at them soon. Better make a call to your Minion and Dr. because you will need them after AJ ,Raiyven ,and yours truly the humble former power ranger finish knocking the maggots out of your carcasses.

Dropping the mike Sentoryu snaps off a curt bow in the general direction of the caricature of a carnival side show camped in the the middle of the ring. He rolls to the outside turns to the ramp gives a deep and respectful bow to his as Big K would say, newest félagi(Icelandic for comrades) then turns he returns into the sea of fans and fades into the crowd like a "Ninja" Ninja? Kenshin laughs at that word. How could anyone call him a ninja? Sub Zero on crack maybe. Ryu Hayabusa maybe haha but no he was a ninja. and so was Sub Zero oh well I guess Kenshin was a Ninja after all.
Hopefully my dōshi can backup their claims. Blood will flow and maybe even my own. With that Sentoryu strides into the darkness of the shadows, he does not fear the dark it gives him strength. Many fear the dark as it hlds the unknown for Kenshin it hold him in its loving embrace.
