Shangri-La, Kowloon, Hong Kong

- Nathaniel Havok wasted no time in leaving the arena after Overdrive went off of the airwaves. Rather than continue fighting with the other five, he decided to save it for the pay per view. He was delighted to find out that waiting back in his hotel room was none other than Trixie, ready to congratulate him for his most recent accomplishment. However, Nathaniel knew that this was no time for romance. Nathaniel has a press conference scheduled for in the morning, and he wants to be at his best. -

Trixie: I just couldn’t believe it! All I had planned was to get you ready for Victor Hades, but now the Elimination Chamber! We might need five other girls to join me in getting you ready. What do you say?

- Nathaniel walks out of the bathroom, brushing his teeth. He is wearing nothing but a towel, as he has just taken a shower. He smirks at Trixie, and the continues brushing as he walks back into the bathroom. -

Trixie: I’m not kidding, you know. With one phone call I could have your ever need taken care of.

- The water in the bathroom comes to silence, and Nathaniel turns the bathroom light off, walking out shortly after. -

Havok: Yeah, well, I can also have my every need taken care of with just one phone call.

Trixie: Yeah, but you know what I mean.

- Nathaniel walks over and kisses Trixie on the forehead. She smiles at him as he turns and walks over to his suitcase. -

Havok: You know, winning the APW World Heavyweight Championship is going to take a lot of my time away from the Underworld. You know, with all of the media coverage, interviews, and guest appearances. It’s going to take a lot of my time up. I’m going to need the Brotherhood to step up their game, and I’m going to need you to keep me informed of how things are going.

Trixie: That’s fine with me, but let’s be real for a minute, baby. You haven’t won the World Heavyweight Championship, yet!

Havok: Come on, now! Look at who you’re talking to! Becoming the World Heavyweight Champion is what I do! It’s what I know best, it’s all I know. Besides demons.

Trixie: Yeah, but this Elimination Chamber match is going to be brutal! There are five other people gunning for the same thing that you are! To be honest, there’s going to be a lot of stiff competition. You might need to stop being so overconfident, and work on your modesty a little.

Havok: Are you joking with me, Trixie?

Trixie: I’m trying to keep you modest, Nathaniel. That’s all.

Havok: My legend in this business is bigger than any of those jobbers could ever dream of! The only one that could ever even hold a candle to me is Level-One!

Trixie: And Sally Talfourd? I mean, she did beat you.

Havok: What are you trying to say, Trixie?

Trixie: Nothing! I’m just trying to bring you back to reality! You know, Nathaniel, I remember a time when you weren’t so cocky. That’s when you were at your best! You knew that you could lose a match any day, at any time. That’s what kept you going, that’s what led you to survival! Now days, you just think that you’re untouchable, and you wont even accept that Sally Talfourd was able to take you out weeks back! You need to come back to reality, or you’re never going to win that title!

Havok: You’ve lost faith in me? Is that it? What’s next? Are you going to turn on me? Take the Underworld for your own, like Aiden did?

Trixie: No! Not at all! All I am trying to say is that you’re not the man you used to be! You’re less humble, and not to be rude, but you’re a couple of years older.

Havok: I’m still in my damn twenties! How in the hell am I not in my prime?

Trixie: Because you’ve been doing this since you were a teenager! Your body has taken enough punishment already! Guys like you, along with the style that you wrestle, don’t last a real long time in your profession. You know that! If you want to continue your success, you’re going to have to take a step of two back. You need to realize this, before you end your own career for good.

- Nathaniel has finished changing, and sits down on the bed next to Trixie. -

Havok: I have been doing this for so long, yet I still feel like I did when I started. Trixie, I’m the Source of all Evil for Christ’s sake! I have people who can heel me around the clock! My age isn’t my concern, and it shouldn’t be yours neither!

Trixie: But what about your attitude? Where is that going to get you?

Havok: I have the attitude that I have because I have earned the right to act this way! It’s no secret that I am one of the best that this business has ever seen, and I will never have a problem letting people know! Nathaniel Havok is a champion, I always have been and I always will be. Nothing is going to change that! Regardless of whether it’s an Elimination Chamber match, or a one on one with Level-One himself, I’m going to win that World Heavyweight Championship at One Night in Hell. You can believe it if you want, or you can try and keep me modest. Either way, I’m doing things the way that I want to do them. That’s how I have done it my entire career, and I’m not going to change things up now!

Trixie: I know, I really do. You’ve always known what is best for you, and your career. But right now, I think that you’re going to need to improve yourself as a person! Action Packed Wrestling is filled with overconfident, cocky, arrogant ass holes that think their shit doesn’t stink. But what happens? They walk out on Overdrive thinking that they’re going to win easily, and they almost always take an ass kicking. I’m just trying to make sure that you don’t turn into this. I know how much your career means to you, and if you don’t start looking at professional wrestling like you used to, then you’re going to start believing your own hype! That’s when you’ll start slipping, and you might find your chances with the World Heavyweight Championship, slip away as well.

Havok: That APW World Championship means more to me than my life itself! I will do anything that I have to do to become the champion! You don’t need to tell me how good my competition is, I know how good they are. I haven’t forgotten how Sally Talfourd beat me on Overdrive, how could I? It’s like I said last week, all I was doing was waiting for my chance for vengeance. At the pay per view, I will get my chance. Sally Talfourd wants that title just as bad as I do, and just as bad as everyone else in the match! My vengeance will come when I walk out as the new World Champion, and she is carried out, holding nothing but her broken bones and injured body parts.

Trixie: But she’s the only one of them that you’ve ever been in the ring with! How do you know that Mark Mania isn’t going to pull an ace from his sleeve, next Sunday? Anything could happen to you, and then what will you have to show for it? Young Mannie has been gunning for Level-One forever now! He’s not going to stop until he’s taken everything from Level-One! So what makes you so confident that you’re going to just walk all over everyone? You need some modesty, or you’re going to fail!

Havok: Would you cut out this modesty bull shit? I don’t need a life coach! I just need your appreciation, and your support! That’s all! Nothing more, nothing less!

- Trixie crawls to the end of the bed and starts rubbing Nathaniel’s chest. She kisses him on the cheek and looks at him. -

Trixie: I’m sorry. You know that you’re always going to have my support, no matter what. I’ve stuck beside you for years, and I’m not about to stop now. But I love you Nathaniel, and I want to see you happy.

Havok: If you want me happy, then just keep the negativity to yourself.

Trixie: Just, remember what I’ve said to you. I want you to at least understand my intentions, and take what I said somewhat to heart. You need to know that the other five people in this match want the same thing you do, just as bad, if not more.

Havok: Nobody could ever want that World Heavyweight Championship more than I!

Trixie: Well then, go out and prove it. But also keep in mind that anything can happen. Keep in mind that at anytime, you could be the victim of someone’s attack, and that attack could very well diminish your chances of winning the belt. I love you, and I want to watch you walk out of the pay per view with the title. I’m not saying that I don’t think you can do it, because I know that you can. But I am trying to tell you that you need to slow your role, because you’re not the champion yet. And even when you are, you know as well as I do, it’s easier to earn it than it is to defend and keep it.

Havok: I know, trust me. But Trixie, in this business, if you don’t have the attitude that I have, people will try and walk all over you. If I would have came into Action Packed Wrestling with a nice guy attitude, I would be opening the card with guys like Branden Harvey, not main eventing in the Elimination Chamber. You have to let them know that you’re the best, or you wont get the best. Therefore, you wont beat the best. I beat Pence Weatherlight earlier tonight! Then, I went out and put Victor Hades on the shelf! That’s one hell of a night, if you ask me! What I have been doing in APW, and carrying myself the way that I have, have gotten me to where I am today! I couldn’t tell you of anyone who has made this big of an impact in APW since their debut, besides me! I know that I am one of the best that this business has ever seen, and I came into this company wanting to prove that I still was. I have continued to gloat for weeks, telling people that I am just as good as I was back in the day, if not better. What people don’t realize is that the more they doubt me, the more I am going to prove them wrong! You know, since I’ve returned, people have said that I’m not the same. They say that I’ve lost a step, and that I’m not the Nathaniel Havok that everybody knew and loved. You know what else, they’re right. I’m not that Nathaniel Havok anymore! But it’s not because I’ve lost a step, and it’s not because I’m reaching my thirties, but it’s the fact that I have neglected them, and don’t care what they think about me anymore! When I turned my back on the fans, they traded on me. They proved that they’re nothing more than bandwagon jumpers, and they’ll whore themselves out to the next big fad at anytime! Nathaniel Havok doesn’t need to care what the fans think, because I’ve done enough for myself! I made a name for myself in this business while at the same time, trying to please those sheep that we call fans! When I stopped caring what they thought, winning became a whole hell of a lot easier. So why do you think I know that they can’t stop me? Because while they’re still pandering to those filthy, fat ass hicks, I will be winning, not caring if they cheer or boo me.

Trixie: You know, when you talk about kicking asses in the ring, it can really turn a girl on.

Havok: Well then, don’t watch Action Packed Wrestling at your brothers house.

Trixie: And why is that?

Havok: Because, I don’t want you getting all hot and bothered with all of his friends around.

- Trixie giggles, swatting Nathaniel on the arm. -

Trixie: Nathaniel Jacobs, how dare you! You know damn well that I wouldn’t do that to you!

Havok: Oh yeah? And how in the hell do I know that?

- Trixie gives Nathaniel a sarcastic look. -

Trixie: It looks like I’m just going to have to prove it to you.

Havok: Well, unfortunately, that can’t be done tonight.

Trixie: Oh yeah? And why is that?

Havok: I have a press conference at nine in the morning. I need to get some sleep.

- Trixie lets out a little chuckle and then looks at Nathaniel. The two begin to kiss and Nathaniel lays her down at the top of the bed. Without looking, Trixie searches for the light chain on the lamp by the bed, pulling it and turning the lights off. -

Trixie: It’s okay. Sex replaces sleep, just fine.

Shangri-La, Kowloon, Hong Kong[/b][/color]

- Fresh off of his Overdrive victory, Nathaniel couldn’t be feeling any better. And after the night he had with the beautiful Trixie, Nathaniel Havok is riding on cloud nine. But this morning, it’s business as usual. Nathaniel has a press conference lined up before he leaves Hong Kong for Tokyo. This should be quite interesting. Nathaniel walks up to the podium, flashing a grin that goes from ear to ear. He quickly however turns the smile off, ready to talk business. -

Havok: Let’s make this quick, and don’t expect me to interpret.

- Nathaniel points at a reporter who lowers her hand and begins to speak. -

Reporter: Nathaniel, I would like to first start by congratulating you on your hard fought victory over the APW Legend, Pence Weatherlight. I have to say that even I was impressed, because I thought that Pence might have your number. But near the end of the evening, you came back out to the ring, and to be honest, took things too far in my opinion.

Havok: Allow me to cut you off right there for a second. Now, I will let you continue to ask your question in a minute, but I would like to point out just a couple of things. Number one, you’re right, that is your opinion. Now, I understand that opinions are like little penises, all Asian men have one. But the second thing that I would like to point out, is that I could really care less what your opinion is. To me, your opinion means absolutely nothing. All of this was, just for the record. Now please, continue.

Reporter: Well, before I continue, wouldn’t you agree in the slightest that maybe your actions against the Xtreme Champion were a bit excessive?

Havok: The Xtreme Champion? Who’s the Xtreme Champion?

Reporter: I’m sorry. The now former Xtreme Champion. Victor Hades.

Havok: Do I think that everything I did to him was excessive? Not at all. For weeks, I have begged and pleaded with Victor Hades to stop avoiding me, but he didn’t want to listen. I warned him, for weeks, I warned him! He just didn’t want to listen. What he failed to realize was that when Nathaniel Havok talks, everyone has no choice but to listen. I did everything that I could to try and get his attention, but he did nothing but take the beatings that I dished out, and continue to act like I didn’t exist. I just couldn’t take it anymore, I had taken enough! If I didn’t have his attention then, I will have it now, when he wakes up in the hospital.

Reporter: Well now that we all know the Xtreme Championship has been vacated, what are the plans for the championship?

Havok: That isn’t my choice, I’m no longer the number one contender, and I have no say in the happenings of the championship whatsoever. The decision on what to do with the APW Xtreme Championship lies in the hands of both President Jeff, and the Overdrive General Manager, Biggs. I am no longer focused on Victor Hades, or the Xtreme Championship. I cashed in my number one contendership for the APW Xtreme Championship so that I could participate in the main event at One Night in Hell, and I think that I made the right decision.

- Another reporter stands from his seat, and Nathaniel immediately points to him, for him to begin. -

Reporter: It all seems so planned, doesn’t it?

Havok: What?

Reporter: I’m not saying that it was, or anything. I’m just saying. Why would you do what you did to Victor Hades, knowing that if anything serious happened to him, your championship match at the pay per view would be jeopardized? My sincere apologize if I’m completely wrong, but it just sounds so planned to me.

Havok: So you’re implying that I knew about the change before I took him out? So let me get this straight, you’re questioning the integrity of either President Jeff, or Biggs? Or better than that, both of them at the same time? Give me a break! Nathaniel Havok does no dealing in professional wrestling politics. I go to the ring, kick someone’s ass, and let my actions do the talking! Sure, I’ve been called one of the best mic workers of all time, but I don’t just talk out of my ass. More than that, I don’t chose sides. Nathaniel Havok is like this, if you’re not on my side, you’re on the wrong side. So to answer your question outright, I had nothing to do with the quick decision to put me in the Chamber. I put Victor Hades out, because I knew they would still want the Enforcer of Sorrow to grace the pay per view. I knew when I took the Xtreme Champion’s career last night, that they would have no choice but to put me in the Chamber. I did it all for the betterment of my career, and the betterment of the Action Packed Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship!

Reporter: What exactly do you mean by the betterment of the World Championship?

Havok: Let’s face it, with that championship on anybody in APW besides the Enforcer of Sorrow Nathaniel Havok, it has far less value. When I take the World Championship away from Level-One, the APW World Heavyweight Championship, will have all the prestige that it deserves once again!

Reporter: Level-One is one of the greatest champions in professional wrestling history. He is one of the only men in professional wrestling to be as decorated as he is. I know that you are just as decorated as he is, but I have to be honest, he’s at the top of his game right now. While you might be at the top of your game as well, what makes you think that you bring more value to the championship than he does?

Havok: Level-One is one of the greatest competitors that has ever been in a professional wrestling ring. He is one of the greatest athletes that I have ever seen, and I respect him to the fullest. Even though he is a great performer and one of the best, he’s still not the best. That spot is reserved for yours truly. But what happens when one of the best meets the best, the APW Championship becomes mine, that’s what happens. I understand that Level-One is a great champion, maybe the greatest champion that APW has ever seen! But the fact is that I will end his reign at the pay per view! Regardless of whether or not he is apart of the final decision in the match, I will still be taking his title home, at the end of the night!

- Many reporters stand to their feet, all shouting questions in unison. Nathaniel points at a young, beautiful lady in the front row, and the room quiets down. -

Reporter: Nathaniel, since coming to Action Packed Wrestling, we have seen a mean streak come out of you that we have never seen before. What can you tribute this to? What has changed in you to make this beast that you’ve become?

Havok: You follow this business, you should know! There comes a time in every wrestlers career where they have to reestablish themselves. That’s all that I have done. At twenty seven years old, I am in my prime. I have already won countless championships, and carried several companies on my back, all the way to the top. APW Management knew when I came to the company that I would eventually be in the position that I am right now. But I also knew coming into APW that I would have to step up my game. This isn’t the minor leagues, this company is all major! The competition in Action Packed Wrestling is some of the toughest competition in the world. APW is known for the stiff competition, and I knew that all along. I made the choice to sign with APW because of that. But at the same time, I knew that I would have to work twice as hard. Well, a few months later, and I’m on my way to One Night in Hell to compete for the most prestigious prize in the professional wrestling world! This is exactly why I stepped my game up, all of it for Action Packed Wrestling.

Reporter: Do you think that you’re better today than you were back in the Global Wrestling Alliance?

Havok: You can never get worse, you can only get better. The Global Wrestling Alliance was the place to be when they were around, much like APW is today. But I can tell you from experience that the competition I faced in GWA years ago, is nothing compared to the boys and girls in the APW locker room! Here, the bar has been raised to a level it has never been before. But like I’ve said, I knew that coming in. I knew that the wrestlers were going to put me through hell, I knew that I would have to work even harder to obtain my goals. But I never let it stop me! Seeing as how I am running through the competition in Action Packed Wrestling like I am, I would definitely have to say that I am much better than I was a few years ago. Just take a second to think about that. I’m better today than I was then, but everyone seems to think that I was in my prime back in GWA. Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?

Reporter: As a personal fan of yours, heel or face, I don’t think that you were in your prime, but I do think that you were more exciting. Today, while you might fly, you still remain a bit more grounded than you used to. Be it due to injury, personal decision, or whatever, many people think that you were in your prime back then, because you’ve changed your wrestling style.

Havok: I was always a brawler, everyone knows that Nathaniel Havok can throw hands with the best of them. But when I was younger, being reckless came with no price. But today, even just a few short years later, the game has changed so much. You have to change your style, you have to become unpredictable in this business, otherwise you’re going to be figured out and picked apart by everyone in the company week after week. So for those who think that I’ve lost a step just because I’ve changed up my style, they need to keep an open mind, and stop being idiots. I understand that sheep are very stupid creatures, but I would expect more out of the fans than that. I guess I just gave them too much credit.

Reporter: Havok, in my own personal opinion, it’s those same fans that you’re slandering, who made you who you are today. Do you think that you would have gotten any kind of push back in your earlier days, if the fans had not responded so positively towards you?

Havok: Listen, I know that ratings run this business. I understand that the popularity of the wrestler can often increase or decrease the time that the creative department spends on a specific person. But my talents speak volumes. Let’s say that the fans had never taken to me. It wouldn’t have mattered, because the Enforcer of Sorrow would still be standing right up here at this podium today! Even if the creative department isn’t spending too much time on you, you can make a name for yourself without them! Win after win, the fans still cheered for me. But without those cheers, a win is still a win. Companies would have had no choice but to push me, even if the fans would have never taken to Nathaniel Havok. Now, next person please.

- Nathaniel points to someone not too close to the podium, hoping that they might have a better question than the reporters up close. -

Reporter: Nathaniel, a few weeks ago in your Overdrive debut, Sally Talfourd was able to beat you. In that match, you got yourself disqualified, and many believe that it was because you didn’t think that you could beat her. Looking back after hearing everything that people have said about it, would you get yourself disqualified if you had the chance to do it again?

Havok: I do have the chance to do it again. I have the chance to take the championship home, and she’s in the match. This time though, it’s going to be in the Elimination Chamber. That means that there is no way that I will be disqualified, so it plays right into my hands. But to answer your question, hell yes I would do it again! I didn’t go out that night planning on capturing the win, never crossed my mind. I wanted to go out to the ring against Sally Talfourd, and prove that I belonged in the same spot that she is in APW! Obviously, I did just that. If I hadn’t taken out Sally Talfourd like I did in my Overdrive debut, I might still be opening the card, instead of being one of the marquee attractions. The success you achieve in this business is measured by the amount of impact that you can bring, and Nathaniel Havok made one hell of an impact in his Overdrive debut. And although it was a disqualification loss, no one in the recent future is going to forget what I did to her, no one.

Reporter: In everything that you just said, I picked up the feeling that you might underestimate her because of her sex, is that correct?

Havok: How would I know how her sex is? I’ve never slept with that skank!

Reporter: Allow me to re-word that. I get the feeling that you think you can just throw her around as you please, just because she is a female.

Havok: Sally Talfourd is a very skilled competitor. If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t have gotten as far as she did in our match on Overdrive. If Sally Talfourd wasn’t half the fighter that she is, I would have just crushed her and pinned her before I could even pull out all the stops to make my statement. I know how good she is, and I know what she is capable of. Sally Talfourd could have very well been one of the odds on favorites to win this match, before Nathaniel Havok’s name was tossed into the Elimination Chamber hat. Now, she doesn’t stand a chance. But don’t think that I’m saying that because she’s a female. I say it with confidence because nobody stands a chance. Not Sally, not Level-One, not Mania, no one. From the minute that Nathaniel Havok was placed into the Elimination Chamber match at One Night in Hell, everyone’s money should have been placed on me. Now, back on subject, don’t be a douche bag. Don’t get all reporter-like and try to put any words in my mouth. The fact that I know I am going to beat Sally Talfourd within an inch of her life at the pay per view, is not because she’s a damn female! There are a tremendous amount of female competitors in this business who can do just as much damage as a male competitor of my caliber, her being one of them! Next question, and please, don’t be as dumb as the douche bag that I just picked.

- Tons of reporters stand to their feet talking in unison. Some reporters are just sitting back and taking notes, which makes the selection process a bit easier. Nathaniel picks a new reporter as everyone else sits back down. -

Reporter: If my memory serves me correctly, this will be the third time that the Enforcer of Sorrow has been in the Elimination Chamber. In your first showing, you had a great outing for the OVW Television Championship six years ago. In your second outing back in the Global Wrestling Alliance, you didn’t have as much luck. You were ousted by Goth, a former friend of yours. To make matters even worse, it was for the GWA Global Championship, a title that Goth was successful in defending. This time, with a similar belt on the line, do you think that your fate will be different?

Havok: Come on now, what kind of damn question is that? You know, I was always told that Asia was one of the most intelligent spots in the world! But if that’s the case, do all the non-intelligent children eventually become sports news reporters?

- All of the Asian reporters seem offended, while all of the other nationalities in the room snicker. -

Havok: I swear, this overseas tour has been nothing but a nightmare! I can’t wait to get away from you pathetic people, and back to the states! But to answer your question, if anyone goes into any kind of match thinking that they’re going to suffer any fate other than victory, they need to get out of this damn business! I’ve already told you a thousand times today, Nathaniel Havok is walking out of One Night in Hell as the Action Packed Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion! I have worked way too hard on this plan, and I have sacrificed the Xtreme Championship to do this! I will not accept defeat! At One Night in Hell, my five opponents are going to feel something indescribable. They will experience something that they never have before, and never will again until the next time they’re in the ring with me! In the ring, I always give it my all. But when the lights are at their brightest, I always have a little something extra for my victims. It’s something that I can’t explain, yet it’s something that happens every time Nathaniel Havok has no choice but to deliver. And when I possess that special something extra, it makes me damn near unbeatable, if not immortal!

- As Nathaniel finishes, tons of reporters stand to their feet and begin to ask questions. Nathaniel simply puts his hand out to shush them, and the room goes silent. -

Havok: I’m done with all of your lackluster questions, you don’t deserve my time. I have better things to do than stand here repeating myself over and over for people who are never going to understand a damn word that I’m saying.

The Sources Chambers, the Underworld[/b][/color]

- Nathaniel has decided that commuting in the Underworld might be a breath of fresh air, so he has made a special appearance at the Brotherhood meeting. For some reason, Kevin Sullivan is nowhere to be found. Kevin never misses these meetings, and it sets uneasy with Nathaniel. As he sits on his throne, the meeting continues without his favorite Darklighter. -

Havok: I can assure you that the territory will successfully be staked if the plan goes as I have it mapped out. However, one mistake could throw this plan off completely, so we need to be sharp. If everyone does their job just as they’re told, we wont have a problem. But somehow, someway, someone always screws up. And with everything that I’ve got going on, I don’t want that. I wont be a happy camper.

Cole: And with Barbas out of the way, we have no one that is going to screw up.

Trixie: What happened to Barbas, anyways? I haven’t seen him since I got back.

- Cole and Nathaniel look at each other, both wondering if they should let Trixie in on what happened, or whether they know there is a leak in the Underworld. Trixie sees that they’re looking at each other, and begins to show agitation. -

Trixie: What? What in the hell happened? Answer me!

Havok: We have a leak in the Underworld.

Trixie: What? What are you talking about?

Havok: I took out Barbas.

Trixie: Nathaniel! Why would you do such a thing?

Havok: Didn’t you just hear me? We have a leak in the Underworld.

Trixie: Okay? From the way you’re talking, the leak wasn’t Barbas. So why in the hell did you vanquish him?

Havok: Barbas lied to me.

Trixie: About?

Havok: The question isn’t what did he lie to me about, yet the question should be what didn’t he lie to me about. Barbas was a member of the Brotherhood after Aiden Payne vanquished me to become Source. After which the Charmed Ones vanquished him for the umpteenth time. That was something that he failed to mention to me when I saved him from purgatory. That alone is punishable by death. However his treachery was much more than just that. Don’t dwell on it though, Barbas had it coming. It was only a matter of time until he got himself killed again, I was just the one that pulled the trigger first, no pun intended.

Trixie: Okay, understandable. Even though you don’t have to answer to me. But what’s up with this leak situation, do you have any idea who it could be, or who it is?

Havok: We have a few ideas, and one of them was Barbas. But since Barbas has been gone, it’s like the Elders still know what we’re up to. They know our every move. That’s why we’re keeping everything under lock and key. Only the Brotherhood will know our plans from now on.

Trixie: And what if it’s someone in the Brotherhood? What then?

Havok: Then their betrayal will be punishable by death, plain and simple.

Trixie: I’m just asking, because if everything is confidential, and the leak is still getting out, it only makes sense that it would be someone in the Brotherhood. What other explanation is there?

Cole: And who are you suggesting?

Trixie: Guilty conscience?

Havok: You two shut the hell up! I don’t need this right now! No Trixie, it’s not Cole. Trust me, he’s not that stupid. And don’t worry, you check out too. I know that I had you on assignment. But whoever it is, wont last too long after I find out. Bank on that.

Trixie: Did you ever think that it could be Aiden?

- Once the name of Aiden Payne is mentioned, Nathaniel stands up from his throne, and begins to pace the floor. -

Trixie: I’m sorry, baby. I just thought that you might want to hear my ideas.

Havok: No, I do, and you’re right. I have thought time and time again that all of this Aiden Payne nonsense could be true. I’ve been thinking that maybe he had it in him to escape the Wasteland, but if it were him he would have attacked by now.

Trixie: Are you sure?

Havok: I know Aiden Payne. I was his best friend for years! He can’t wait five minutes at a restaurant for his damn food! So what makes you think that he’s going to wait and come up with some plan to kill me? I just don’t believe it. I don’t think that he’s the one.

Trixie: So you’ve ruled him out?

Havok: No, well, not completely anyways. I just don’t think that Aiden could really do it. Like I said, I’ve known him for years. Aiden was always the kind of person that had to have someone holding his hand the entire way. He couldn’t have escaped the Wasteland, he doesn’t know how.

Trixie: Yeah, but somebody does?

Havok: And who in the heavens might that be?

Trixie: Barbas.

- Nathaniel continues to get more agitated. -

Havok: Let’s just stop this nonsense! Aiden Payne is not back, and he’s not going to be coming back anytime soon. He’s dead, and that’s the way he’s going to stay. Furthermore, Barbas is dead. And I don’t see him being in any kind of hurry to resurface anytime soon. Trust me.

Trixie: I’m sorry. But whatever happens, whoever comes after you, I will always be with you.

Cole: I second that, my liege.

Havok: Thank you, thank you both. I’m glad to know that I have at least two people who will stand by me through everything.

- All of the sudden, Brotherhood member Kevin Sullivan shimmers into the room. -

Havok: Well, it’s about damn time.

Kevin: Nathaniel, we have a problem.

Havok: Don’t we always?

Kevin: No, you don’t understand! I found someone lurking around the Underworld!

Havok: Well, who in the hell is it?

Kevin: Should I bring him in?

Havok: By all means.

- Kevin waves his hand in the air, and a young man appears in front of the entire Brotherhood. Trixie gasps for air, as Nathaniel’s jaw drops to the floor. -

The Home of Nathaniel Havok, Indianapolis, Indiana[/b]

- The man that stood in front of Nathaniel and the brotherhood was none other than Nathaniel’s long lost brother, Staniak. They have no blood relation, however they are related by magic. The Source had created Staniak in his image, however becoming the Source was not his destiny. When the two found their paths crossing, they knew that it was fate. Staniak has been hiding for quite sometime, after his wrestling career ended, he had nothing left to do but go home and heel up. But why show back up now? As soon as a leak is found, he just so happens to be lurking around the Underworld? Nathaniel smells a set up, and he knows not to trust him. Go figure, Nathaniel can’t even trust his very own brother. -

Havok: So what have you been doing with yourself?

Staniak: Nothing really, licking my wounds, taking some time off. You know, the usual thing retired wrestlers do.

Havok: Seriously? I thought that retired wrestlers all went to that one Nursing Home. What was it’s name again?

Staniak: Total Nonstop Action?

Havok: That’s it! Thanks.

Staniak: No problem.

- The two men sit in silence for a minute, sipping coffee out of their cups. -

Havok: So why now?

Staniak: What?

Havok: I don’t know, it just seems a bit off to me.

Staniak: What does?

Havok: The fact that you’re here, with me, right now. It all seems a little bit off to me.

- Staniak looks confused and Nathaniel decides to explain. -

Havok: Just listen. Don’t try to defend yourself, just sit there and listen. I have a lot going on right now, and stress is the last thing that I need. The Underworld has a leak. Someone is letting the other side know what we’re up to down there. It’s not setting well with my demons, and it’s not setting well with me either. Every time we try to do something, someone always shows up to stop us. It’s getting so bad that the Brotherhood has detected a surge in power. That means that there are factions forming in the Underworld to try and overthrow me. Now, with everything that I have going on in Action Packed Wrestling, I do need shit like this right now. I have a chance to become the APW World Champion at out next show, One Night in Hell, and I don’t need to be looking over my shoulder wondering when a random fireball is going to vanquish my sorry ass! So just tell me, do you have anything to do with this?

Staniak: No, and I never would. To be honest, I was wondering around down there hoping to see a familiar face. Someone that could point me in the direction of the almighty Source of all Evil.

Havok: And after all this time, why would you be looking for me?

- Staniak stands up from his seat and begins pacing the room. He sips from his coffee cup before stopping, turning, and looking at Nathaniel with pain in his eyes. -

Staniak: What have I become?

Havok: Is this a trick question?

Staniak: Look at me! I have no more career, I have no power like you! I have nothing! I need a purpose in life, Nathaniel! I need your help!

Havok: What do you want me to do?

Staniak: Give me a purpose. Give me something to live for! Anything!

Havok: No what can I do, to make that happen?

Staniak: Get me a job with Action Packed Wrestling!

Havok: Are you kidding me? What am I supposed to say? How am I supposed to do that?

Staniak: You can do it! Use your powers! Use that mind trick stuff that you used on the cops that one time.

Havok: No, not at all. If you want a job in APW, get a tryout match. Win the match, and they’ll be more than glad to take a look at you.

Staniak: I haven’t been in the ring in years!

Havok: Then why are we having this conversation? If you’re going to ask me for a job in APW, what in the hell else would you expect to do besides wrestle?

Staniak: I don’t know, be a road agent?

Havok: I don’t think so.

Staniak: Then make me a demon.

Havok: Stan! I can’t do that!

Staniak: What not? You’ve done it before! Hell, you did it for Trixie! You even did it for Kevin!

Havok: I know. But being a demon is a tough life! Constantly watching your back, wondering when the next witch is going to interfere and try to take you out. Then, then there’s demons! You have to watch your back more for them, than you do witches! Bro, it’s a tough gig!

Staniak: And what do I have to live for? I’m nothing these days! Look at you! Back in the game, living life to the fullest! Action Packed Wrestling is the dream organization for every professional wrestler out there! You’re getting a chance to live that dream! Me, I’m living off of the same paychecks that I received back in the GWA! You’ve got the money to spare, you’re getting new paychecks! Life hasn’t been real easy for me, lately. It’s almost as if when I left GWA, everyone forgot about me. I did everything that I could to let companies know that I was a free agent! But no one wanted to listen! No one fucking cared! Do you know how bad that sting feels? Do you know what it’s like to be forgotten, shrugged off, ignored?

Havok: As a matter of face, I do! Look at you! This isn’t the same guy that took me to the limit the first time we went one on one! This isn’t the same guy that once held the GWA Global Championship high in the air, reigning over everything in the wrestling business that he saw! You’re not the man that set a house on fire, just to get back at someone who had fucked you over! What happened to you? Where did you change?

Staniak: You think that I’ve changed?

Havok: I can see it! It’s right in plain view! You’re not the same man that you used to be! You show weakness, just like you’re showing me right now!

Staniak: No! I show you weakness because at one time, you were my best and only friend. Somewhere along the way, you forgot about me, and I’m giving you the chance to make up for it by giving me a new lease on life!

Havok: I forgot about you? You mean to tell me that leaving the Global Wrestling Alliance, and crawling down into a hole for damn near four years without saying anything to anyone, justifies ME ignoring and forgetting about YOU? Get a grip, man! Get a fucking grip, and then come talk to me. But until you do, don’t be bringing this bullshit around me. I have enough on my plate as it is.

Staniak: I’m sorry.

Havok: Get out.

Staniak: No, listen!

Havok: I said get out!

Staniak: NO! Now earlier, I allowed to pretty much accuse me of leaking information about you! Now you’re going to sit here and listen to me! I need you! You’re the only person I was ever able to trust and count on! I have no one else, I have nothing. You’re my only hope, and I could serve you well! So please, you have to have something you need help with. I’ll do anything! Just don’t let me leave here without a purpose. I’ve lived without one for far too long.

- Nathaniel sighs, and sits back in his loveseat. He then once again leans forward. -

Havok: Sit down.

- Staniak sits back down in his chair, looking at Nathaniel with even more pain on his face. -

Havok: I do have something for you.

Staniak: Anything.

Havok: I need another member of the Brotherhood. Now, if I give you this gig, you’re going to have to prove yourself to me. Just like Trixie did, and just like Kevin did as well.

Staniak: I live to serve you, my lord. They call you that, don’t they.

Havok: My inner circle doesn’t have to, most of the time. You’ll be apart of that inner circle. But you have to understand Staniak, the demonic community is a cut throat culture. You have to watch your back at all times! You can’t trust anybody, and you can’t risk getting yourself into a pickle. You have to make sure that all of your bases are covered, and you damn sure can’t get tricked into bed with the competition. Every single breath that you take, could very well be your last.

The Slippery Noodle, Indianapolis, Indiana[/b]

- Nathaniel Havok, Trixie, Cole, and Staniak have decided to have a night on the town, taking in the air, burning the midnight oil, and indulging themselves in as many alcoholic beverages as possible. Sitting in V.I.P., many people continuously try to ask for autographs. Finally, security comes over to keep an eye on things, and keep people out of Nathaniel’s hair. As the four sit at their table, they’re enjoying the local band on stage. Nathaniel takes a sip of his beer, and then get’s everyone’s attention at the table. -

Havok: You know, I never thought life would feel this good. I want to take a second to thank you guys, thank you for your loyalty, your faith, and your sacrifices. Your deeds towards me and the Underworld do not go unnoticed. Your efforts for the advancement of our people, also will never go unnoticed. And to tell you the truth, as much as you three live to serve me, I live to make sure you’re served. I love you three, and I will never let anyone take you from my side.

Staniak: It’s great to be apart of this. It’s even better to have a purpose once again. I want you guys to know that I’m a quick study. I’m going to do everything that I can to get up to snuff with the rest of you, as soon as I can.

Trixie: Trust me, none of us will ever be able to catch up with Cole, here. Cole’s been a demon longer than our combine ages!

Cole: Yeah well, some of us are forced to live forever.

Havok: Oh shut up. Watch your mouth, or I will put you back where I found you.

- The entire table has a laugh at what Nathaniel has just said. As the band on stage makes their way off, the crowd becomes more talkative. All of the sudden, someone can be heard shouting. -

Unknown: Nathaniel Havok couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag!

- Nathaniel looks up to see security holding a young man back from getting to the table. The grin on Nathaniel’s face doesn’t give indication to friend, or foe, as Nathaniel could very well be enjoying this buffoon humiliate himself. -

Unknown: Come on man, tell them to back off!

Havok: Go ahead, let the little bitch through.

- Security let’s the young man through, and he slaps hands with Nathaniel, sharing an embrace after. Nathaniel invites the young man to sit down for a drink, and orders another round for the entire table. -

Havok: Guys, this is Ryan, he’s an old junior high buddy of mine.

Cole: Delighted to meet you, partner.

- As pleasantries are exchanged, the waitress brings the drinks to the table. After tipping here with a twenty dollar bill, Nathaniel turns his attention to his old friend. -

Havok: So what have you been up to?

Ryan: A whole lot of nothing. I just wanted to come over and wish you luck this weekend. Action Packed Wrestling? I never thought you’d make it to the big time.

Havok: Oh, well thanks a lot.

Ryan: You know I’m bullshitting you. But I just wanted to know how you’re feeling. You took a nasty fall onto that table last week.

- Nathaniel snickers. -

Havok: Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. Nothing is going to stop me from winning that damn title. If I didn’t believe that, I would have not sacrificed myself to end Victor Hades career like I did. But I knew then, and I know now that no one is going to be able to stop me from capturing that belt. It’s my destiny, it’s my right.

Ryan: Man, I’ve been watching Level-One lately, he looks better than ever!

Havok: Yeah, but after the beating he took this Thursday night, I highly doubt that he’s going to be a hundred percent at the pay per view.

Ryan: What about you? You’re burnt.

Havok: Not at all. I’m a hundred percent.

Ryan: Impossible. I saw some of the burns a few nights ago! They looked nasty!

Havok: Nope, all gone.

Ryan: Liar.

- Nathaniel stands up from the table and lifts up his shirt, showing that his back has no injuries whatsoever. He sits back down with a smirk on his face as Ryan seems flabbergasted. -

Ryan: How in the hell did you manage that?

Havok: I’m the Source of all Evil man, what else did you expect?

Ryan: Okay…

- Ryan shows a look of concern on his face, startled by the fact that maybe Nathaniel Havok really is the ruler of the Underworld. Thinking that the gimmick might not be a gimmick at all, Ryan stands up from the table. -

Ryan: Well, if you’ll excuse me, I have to use the little boys room.

- Ryan walks away from the table, vanishing into the crowd on his way to the restroom. -

Cole: Nice kid.

Havok: Troubled, very troubled.

Cole: What do you mean?

Havok: Back in school, he had a real bad issue with his popularity.

Cole: Ah, the whole popularity issue, eh?

Havok: No, not really. He just got himself caught up with the wrong people. For a while, he thought he was meant to be born black, and in the ghetto. Unfortunately for him that wasn’t the case. His fate was to be a nerdy white kid, and he just didn’t realize it.

Cole: What happened?

Havok: Found himself on the wrong end of a gun, and then found himself in the hospital. The he found his way to a bank with a gun in his hand, and found his way out in handcuffs. He looks like he’s got his shit together, but who knows.

Cole: Must have been tough.

Havok: Why do you say that?

Cole: Growing up, not knowing who you are.

Havok: He did it to himself.

Cole: No, not really. It’s got to be tough being a human and not knowing who you are. Me, I’ve always been a demon, I was born that way. I knew right from the start that my only purpose in life was to kill, and cause pain. I’ve always known that the ultimate goal was the advancement of evil. It’s got to be tough not knowing what your purpose is. I just don’t know what that feels like. I’ve never had to face that.

Havok: Well, even with that being said, he still brought it on himself. It’s called free will, and it’s the great flaw of the grand design. You chose your path up here on earth, and that’s the way that they want it. You have the freedom to do what you want, when you want. Whether it be good or bad, it doesn’t matter. They just have two different outcomes in consequence. Everything that he did as a young man, were his decisions and his alone. No one made him go into that bank, no one made him get into that gang fight. He knew when he got jumped into that gang that the day was going to come, he just didn’t think it all the way through.

Cole: Still, I can’t see how not knowing who you are could be better than knowing who you are right away. It’s just so foreign to me.

Havok: You make you who you want to be on earth, it’s that simple. If you want to be a good person, than you’re a good person. If you want to be a son of a bitch and a bastard like myself and Staniak here, then you can be a son of a bitch and a bastard. If you want to be a sexy little vixen like Trixie over here, than you can be a sexy little Vixen. And like it has been said, if you want to be a white kid with a handkerchief on your head and your pants sagging to your knees, then you can be one. He chose to be who he was, and he did his thing. Therefore, he did it to himself. But at the same time, being able to make that decision, is the beauty of it. Well, at least that’s what humans think. But I do understand what you’re saying. I completely know where you’re coming from.

Trixie: Was the poor guy even given a chance in life?

Havok: Of course he was! Everyone is born with a chance! He had a better chance than most! A wealthy family, a powerful father, he had it all! He just didn’t know how to use it the right way. He thought that his destiny was away from daddy and his money. He wanted to make money on his own. He just chose the wrong ways to go about it. He chose to make money with a gun, rather than with his fathers help. He chose to have fun with the money making, rather than work like the majority of the rest of the world does.

Staniak: If you ask me, a family is all you need. I didn’t have one, and I made something of myself! But it was hard as hell without that family support system. Life would probably be ten times better if I would have had one growing up.

Havok: Hello, what the hell do you think I went through growing up? I didn’t have a mother or a father either. I mean, they were there, but they weren’t. And then I lost my father, didn’t really have a male to look up to other than my brother Nick, and Nick was a pussy! You make yourself who you want to be, your surroundings as a child have nothing to do with it.

- Cole taps the shoulder of Nathaniel, and points him in a certain direction. -

Havok: What the hell is she doing here?

Trixie: Who?

Havok: Look!

- Both Trixie and Staniak now join Nathaniel and Cole at staring away in the distance. Trixie notices that the Seer is standing in the corner, looking right at their table. -

Trixie: What in the hell is she doing here?

Havok: Who knows.

Cole: Watch what you say, she could be listening. She could be the leak.

Staniak: Who is she?

Havok: She’s the Seer. She’s a demon, but like I said, you can’t trust anybody. Come on guys, let’s get out of here.

Staniak: Wait, what about you’re friend, Ryan.

Havok: Isn’t it obvious? He’s not coming back. I didn’t expect him to though.

Staniak: Why not?

Havok: I showed him that demons are real. He saw burns on my back Thursday night, and now they’re gone. He now knows that this world is real, he just doesn’t want to face it, just like the rest of them.

The Source’s Chambers, the Underworld[/b][/color]

- As the group left the bar, the Seer had already left. They shimmered into the chambers, where the Seer was waiting for them. -

Havok: What the hell are you doing here?

Seer: Thank you for following me down here. It’s urgent that I speak with you.

Havok: About what?

Seer: Aiden Payne. I’ve had another vision, and trust me, he is alive and well.
