Made in the Underworld

[Nathaniel Havok]

Empires Erased IV: Made in the Underworld

[The scene opens up, as the following words make their way onto the screen…

“Action Packed Wrestling Presents…
In association with Havey Creations…
Made in the Underworld”

The Underworld… As far away from the earth realm as you can get. It‘s here that Nathaniel Havok continues to rebuild him empire, plotting world domination that will shift the balance of power into the favor of demons. We find ourselves traveling the streets of “Demon Central“, a buy/trade road for demons. You can get anything you want here! Powers, souls, you can ever hire protection and hitmen! As Nathaniel Havok strolls down the street, every demon he passes, bows their head out of respect for the Source. Satisfied at the fact that his people recognize his greatness, Nathaniel can‘t help but flash a grin. As he walks backwards to address the cameras, Nathaniel slows down his pace, as to keep an eye on where he‘s going…]

Nathaniel Havok
Do you see this? Everything you see before you, is everything that I’ve worked so hard to rebuild. We survive, by banding together. Creating factions, having the backs of our brothers, to reach a common goal. There’s no higher power than aligning yourself with the Source of all Evil, and everyone you see before you, has pledged their allegiance to my kingdom. I guess you could say that they all work for me, their my employees, if you’d like me to put it in mortal terms. They work for me, making sure that my goals and plans are carried out without error.

I need each and every single one of them, to ensure that my kingdom rebounds as powerful as ever. As much as they need a leader that will provide them with guidance, I need them to provide me with loyalty. These demons, they all have something very unique about them. Whether it be their powers, whether it be their demonic species… Regardless of what it is, they all play a pivotal role in the success of the demonic race. Me? Well, my job goes far beyond not only the Underworld, not only the wrestling ring… But far beyond any comprehension that a mere mortal could possess.

I was chosen by these people, chosen to be their Source. I was once, just like all of you. Nothing more than a man, walking the earth as just another face in the crowd. Sure, I already had fame, I even had a nice amount of money tucked away. But it wasn’t until I found out about my true destiny, that my life really began to take off. It wasn’t until I found out who I really was, and once I did, my life would forever change. But believe me, everything worked out for the better. Today, I can truly say that I am one of a kind. Seek if you must, but there is not another Source of all Evil, nor will there ever be!

Do you understand what I’m trying to say to you? No one directly, more like seven people. Do you understand what I’m saying? I’m trying to tell you that the power I possess, is something that the seven of you could never hold for yourselves. I was born to do this, everything in my life has happened for this very purpose! Mentally, physically, emotionally, there’s not a single one of you that could measure up to the Enforcer of Sorrow. While I might not have known it then, I understand everything quite clearly now. When they say that everything happens for a reason, they’re not too far off.

A drunken dead father, a drug addict mother, and a home broken right from the start. I used to ask “why me”, but now I understand. I used to ask God “why”, but now I don’t have to. I used to cry to my siblings, begging for a change. Now I can comprehend the happenings of my childhood. Everything that happened to me, prepared me to be the fearless leader of the Underworld. It hardened my heart, forced me to become a very calloused person. I had seen the worlds evil, in all of its forms. I had witnessed the worst possible things you could ever imagine, from every angle possible. But it served a purpose, it made me who I am today.

[Nathaniel stops walking, and stares straight into the camera.]

Nathaniel Havok
Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you? With everything I’ve said thus far, are you beginning to understand where I’m headed with all of this? The entire story that you just heard, there’s an underlying message to it. A message that tells you exactly why none of the seven of you will be walking out of RassleMania with the North American Championship. A story that tells you where I’ve come from, where I’ve been, and ultimately, where I’m going. All of this, everything I’ve told you about what I’ve been through in my past, I’ve thrown it all out there, to teach you all a very valuable lesson.

You’re all extremely tough individuals. To be in Action Packed Wrestling, you HAVE to be a tough son of a bitch. Therefore, as I’ve said in the past, I see each and everyone of you as a threat in your own right. Some of you, I see as bigger threats than others. And those are the people that Nathaniel Havin intends on making primary targets. Don’t worry, I will get my hands on all of you. I’m going to enjoy inflicting pain on seven other people. Normally, I only get one, two, MAYBE three in a match. But this week, I’ve hit the jackpot, and I get to lay into seven of you at once!

I continue to bounce thoughts around in my head, playing out the match over and over again. Believe me, I plan on winning. However, I understand how tough this task is truly going to be. I’ve spent time focusing on each of you as individuals, but I also have to view the lot of you as a group, too. In matches like these, truces can be called, which can leave people singled out, unable to withstand the assault of multiple opponents who are only focused on them as an individual. I really don’t have a problem with this. Hell, I would do it too, IF I could find another person in this match that’s even viable enough to team up with!

Seeing as how I am who I am, I have no doubt that there will be truces made mid-match, in an attempt to single me out, and take me down before I can win the title. I understand this, and I won’t be surprised if it does indeed happen. I have every reason to believe that I should expect the worst in this match. Expecting the worst, always leads to a lighter result. But the way I see it, there’s nothing that can stop me from winning. Taking into account everything and everyone that’s in this match, this match was still built for the Enforcer of Sorrow to not only take over, but to win.

[Nathaniel looks around at all of his people, as they all continue to go about their business. He starts walking backwards once again, as the cameras move with him.]

Nathaniel Havok
If you have any questions regarding my toughness, my ability to perform under pressure, or my "twisted form of logic"... You need to pay attention to what I'm telling you. Everything I've opened up about today, everything I've said regarding my own personal history... It's to inform all seven of you, that Nathaniel Havok has endured more than you could ever imagine. It's changed me, it's made me something that all of you are not.

Pressures I've endured, trials and tribulations... They're not even of your world. The things I've seen, everything I've done, the average person would think of me as a savage. You think this is all an act? You think that what I've done in my past is all made up? What? I fit the bill for all these lavish "special effects" in my promos, to add to the gimmick? Give me a break! The things that I do, you can't make up. Hell, who could even fathom the Source of all Evil?

When I was a boy, I never thought that such things could ever exist. Up until the point of my crowning as the Source, I would have never thought that anything so horrendous could be possible. It is possible, and I'm living proof of that. I possess a mental and physical toughness that nobody in Action Packed Wrestling could ever match, and with good reason! Trust me, The Guv'nor couldn't! And Warren Peace? Hell, you couldn’t even walk a mile in my shoes! Why? Because Nathaniel Havok was destined for these things.

I was destined to endure more, because I destined to DO more! More than any of the seven of you could ever dream of doing, or are even capable of doing in the first place. And while my life outside the ring has nothing to do with what goes on inside... The lessons I've learned and the things I have seen or felt, they've all assisted me in getting to where I am today. They've MADE me who I am today. A mastermind, a leader, and one of the toughest "mother lovers" that you'll EVER meet.

If you'd like a comparison, allow me to enlighten you. Do you think that the likes of a "lady killer", a "kid", a blonde feminist, a woman who thinks she's Robin Hood, a communist with a good lawyer, a paper champion, OR a guy named LENNY, could ever be fit to do what I do? I run an empire, the biggest empire in the world! While it might not be seen on the stock market, while I might not have investors, and while it very-well could never be seen by the world, I run it nonetheless. I was, for all intents and purposes... The chosen one.

[Nathaniel once again stops. As he looks around, every person he looks directly at, bows their head in a show of respect to the Source of all Evil.]

Nathaniel Havok
This empire that I've built, it expands far beyond the Underworld. My job is simple... To spread as much evil as I can, infecting those who are as impressionable as they ever could be. Thus, turning them into my very own slaves. Slaves just like the seven of you. Weak minded individuals who can easily cave to the thought of conformity. Slaves that are taught what is and is not socially acceptable, then begin to play "follow the leader".

You see, that's what separates the Enforcer of Sorrow from the rest of you. While you're all amazing and gifted performers in your own rights, Nathaniel Havok has a bit of a leg up on the competition, simply because of the fact that Nathaniel Havok truly isn't from your world. While I was at one time just like the rest of you, like all things must, I have evolved. The seven of you continue stagnant, set in your ways, and unable to appreciate or accept change. Nathaniel Havok, he is that change.

I have taken to heart, everything that has been said about me. Amy Zing sang my praises, and to her credit, realized that I truly am a gifted mastermind. She also pointed out my failures last year, implying that I'm ready to right those wrongs. Amy is right, I am ready to right that wrong, and move on with that moment in my past, and a bright future ahead. If anyone can do such a thing, if anyone can go from being terminated from APW, to being the APW North American Champion, at the same event, just one short year apart from one another, it's Nathaniel Havok!

I'm sorry, Amy. I'm sorry for the fact that your overconfidence will be your downfall. You claim that your tired of falling short time after time, when all you're going to do at RassleMania, is come up short yet again. Amy, it's the story of your life. While my destiny was to lead the Underworld to a better tomorrow, your destiny always was and always will be "coming up short" to competitors like myself. I mean hell, we all need a launching pad, don't we? We all need that "special someone" that can elevate us. And in professional wrestling, Amy Zing knows how to elevate those around her. All the while, being left behind. Amy, it's what you were born to do.

[Nathaniel begins to chuckle, thinking about something else that had recently said about him.]

Nathaniel Havok
I'd really like to know who this "Foley" guy is, that the female Robin Hood is talking about. In this company, we don't recognize those spares! Well, that's not completely true, because APW DOES recognize spares like yourself! Face it, in this match, all you are is an "also ran" competitor, Robina! You're here to fill in a void, and to lay down, just like the other six! Face it, and chose to love the role you've been given! Because like it or not, you're not going to change fate!

You've got quite the mouth on you, don't you Robina? Calling me a "Finnish Bitch"? Listen here, skank... It's apparent that you haven't done your homework. Maybe you should pop in some film, pay a bit of attention, and learn something about your opponents! Yes, it's true. I made my way back to APW by claiming to be some kind of "Finnish Phenom". But the Finnish Phenom was just a gimmick, much like you wishing that you were a member of the Peter Pan cast, it was all a gimmick, a ploy to get myself back into Action Packed Wrestling!

Nothing else about us is even remotely the same. When I took off that mask, all gimmicks were thrown out the window! And with that being said, I want you to do me a favor and ponder something... What are you going to do, when the lack of studies you've done, when the lack of attention you've given, leave you broken and without a championship belt? Because like it or not, it's going to happen. And much like Robin Hood, I'm going to take my bow and arrow, aiming it right at you. But instead of shooting an apple off the top of your head, I'm just going to get you right between the eyes!

AND THEN... Then there was the guy who claimed the show would be nothing with Nathaniel Havok as its champion. The guy who has been able to get the best of me on three separate occasions, doesn't even stop to realize that Nathaniel Havok knows him better than anybody else in this match does! Lenny, you and I have beaten the hell out of each other from pillar to post. We've had some amazing battles, and you're right, you've always gotten the best of me.

Stop for a minute, Lenny. Stop and realize that your ego is just too big for you to be able to realize what you're doing to yourself. The truth is, you're setting yourself up for failure. Because while three times before, you've been able to outlast me, there still IS a reason that they call me the Man with the Show on His Shoulders! You want to win the title for the sole purpose of stopping me? Well, much like Robina, what are you going to do when you can't get the job done, and Nathaniel Havok walks out of RassleMania as the NEW APW North American Champion?

You're going to fail, Lenny. Because when it's time for you and I to lock up, I'm going to be ready! I know you better than you know yourself! I know things about your in-ring ability, that nobody else in this match knows! So I'll sit back, let you pick them off, and then, I'm going in for the kill! And while you lay flat on your back, motionless and unable to comprehend what's going on around you... I'll stand over your lifeless body, North American Championship in hand, bringing you back to reality with two simple words...

...'Ello Guv'nor!

[Nathaniel smirks. He then scoffs at the camera, taking to heart the fact that the champion Warren Peace, never even acknowledged him with his promo.]

Nathaniel Havok
The Guv'nor has to worry about me, much like the rest of you. But Warren Peace, you've managed to strike a nerve within the Enforcer of Sorrow. By not even mentioning my name, by not acknowledging the fact that I am your biggest threat, all you’ve managed to do was dig your own grave! Your time as APW North American Champion is up! Not because you were a paper champion to begin with, which you are… But because you gave me more inspiration.

Without mentioning me as your biggest threat, you allowed me to realize that I’ve not been holding up my end of the bargain lately. Guv’nor said that I’m not who I used to be, and your lack of mentioning me, means that you think the same thing! I know what I have to do, and I’m going to do it! You all think I’m done? You think that Nathaniel Havok is old news? Well, do I have some NEW news for you! Nathaniel Havok has only just begun! So what are you going to do with yourselves, when I walk out as the APW North American Champion?

[Nathaniel smirks once again.]

Nathaniel Havok
I’m the Enforcer of Sorrow Nathaniel Havok, and I was made in the Underworld!

[Nathaniel begins to chuckle, before regaining his composure.]

Nathaniel Havok
I’ll see you all at RassleMania. Havok has spoken.

[Nathaniel turns and begins to walk forward, as the scene fades to black.]
