The New Breed Awakens

["The Hybrid" Damian Dimitri]

*The pirated video feed of The Blackwells' Personal Cameraman, Emrys statics to life for the first time in ages. Today, the scene is set in the very bowels of Trevor Blackwell's House of Horrors in Lake Grove, Long Island, New York. Normally, this is a place of crushed egos and shattered dreams where the screams of the tortured can be heard across the road at the Smith Haven Mall. But today it is a proving ground. Today, the sawdust covered mat of the poor excuse for a wrestling ring that serves as a training ground will be a nest where a young hybrid gets to stretch his wings and fly... hopefully... That young bird stands in the ring now... 5'11" tall... 225 lbs... He is "The New Breed" Damian Dimitri. He is the prodigy of this torture chamber. Across from him stands his mentor. The Original King of Hardcore. The Excellence of Extreme. "The Career Killer" Trevor Blackwell and today he wants nothing more then to clip this young bird's wings... Standing outside, her hands slapping at the ring apron is "The Vicious Vixen" Tabitha Crowley. She's had more then her hands in this boy's development as well and today she gets to see if all of her "encouragement" has paid off. She slides a Steel Chair in to Trevor. Both he and Damian eye the weapon but The Career Killer strikes first. Like a viper, he lunges for the chair, picking it up and swinging for the fences. But The Hybrid ducks, spins, and comes back with a Roaring Elbow that smashes the Steel Chair into his mentor's face with a loud CLACK! Blood and bone spray the sawdust covered mat as Damian's hero goes down like Dr. Matt on Hurricane Jeff. Immediately, Tabitha Crowley hops up onto the ring apron and scales the top rope. But Damian Dimitri is too quick. Again, he spins and nearly takes The Vicious Vixen's head off with a Spinning Heel Kick. She crotches herself painfully on the turnbuckle and now its The Hybrid's turn to strike. He launches himself at Crowley, wraps an arm around her neck, drags her out until only her ankles touch the ropes, and drills her head first to the mat with a dangerous DDT. The last man standing, Damian turns and lays the Steel Chair over the face of The King of Hardcore. He hops out to the ring apron once more and springboards off the ropes, landing with an Elbow Drop that crushes Trevor's skull under the steel. Moving the chair, he drapes his knee across the back of Blackwell's head, grabs his ankles, and starts wrenching back just like Tabitha taught him. Bloody and battered, Trevor Blackwell's hand slaps the mat vehemently. Damian lets out a groan as he finally releases. Through his badly broken nose, Trevor looks up at his student.*

Trevor: You're ready...

*Damian smiles and wipes the sweat from his brow, glancing at the fallen Tabitha Crowley*

Damian: Are you sure?

*Trevor laughs through the blood*

Trevor: Yeah... I'm sure. The question is... Is APW ready for you?

*Damian grabs a towel... no longer a student... and leaves the ring*

Damian: The will learn to... fear me...
