Entro: When the legends came down, I was there to pick up the torn pages. I am the one that is putting them together, it all started after I talked to a girl named Joanna Blood. Who's cousin started talking to my twin brother.
I have moved on from Joanna then I met a girl named
This was how I became infatuated by Sprit fire.
Have you lost a loved one? What about your parent? Mother? Father? Did they abuse you? Neglect you?
These are a lot of questions to answer, but I have searched for them, painfully. So incredibly painfully that I became a living dead. Riot is not a god, Riot is not a man nor woman, Riot is not mortal nor immortal. Riot is simply Riot, breathing, bleeding, feeling, fearing, hating, loving. This ... is all Riot.
Dreaming of rising from the filth of the earth to the god that cursed Riot to such a painful life, it has been a life long battle. As a young child Riot marked off on a calender. "Oh only blah blah days closer to 100 years old. My life is getting shorter."
Have you been born dead and waited for some one to find you? My twin brother was dead at birth I said fuck that. Half of me has been dead my whole life. Part of me fully alive and the other half sitting in purgatory smirking in my shadows.
Riot did not appreciate life, because what was there to appreciate? The kids saying what a freak Riot is? Spitting spit balls at Riot? Throwing half eaten food or condiments? How about being the youngest with the biggest curse of being a Socialpath and Empath all at once? Do you think this was all a cake walk for Riot? Riot only had Riot and death. "My salvation Ruth Jones. My death, please grant me death. Please make Sprit Fire kill me."
Riot fades out somewhat as he closed his eyes under his mask and was looking over the rainbows that leaped and danced in his head, and the darkness that stroked over them. Evie walked in behind him and stayed quiet. "I do very much fancy your sister. I am sorry."
The ghost of his past seemed to fade in Riot's head.
Now at 23 years old Riot is the youngest Universe Champion. Shane Trudex might think this title defines him, but Riot defines the Universe Championship. Winning this title has changed nothing, only amplified a fire that Dax Clark set ablaze almost 3 years ago. What should have been Riot's back at HalloWicked. It was alright, I am patient, take your time work it slow, you know me I go with the flow.
Slowly Riot smirked and stood up. Riot walked over too a bookcase and took down and urn of his mother's ashes. Riot let out a deep breath talking into the air. "Dear mama, it was four years ago this month that you left. I know you left nobody's soul could be as peaceful as yours the last we talked. I felt my heart become lifted, I felt liberated lately. Perhaps four is the right number. After all when calling the corners you use four. I remember what you told me mama."
Riot started laughing. "Guess what today is 27, I have Four. Don't say I ever didn't tell you Ruth. Take it all in baby, I am everywhere. The wood the rock the mud, I am the fucking scum of the earth. I don't have to preach it they all come to me freely. Because free it the way to be, Blake might have shut Josie's eyes, hence fuck her. ... and I can't really do that because that girl gives me the giggles I could hardly handle her last time I faced her I might have actually crapped my pants that match I don't remember a lot. I get hit in the head so many times that sometimes I forget my name, but people call me AJ and tell me I'm a Riot."
Yes four years ago after Riot watched as his mother died in front of his eyes. Watched as his older sister freaked out and screamed "mommy! mommy NO!"
He took a deep breath, his tears ducks hurt from being too sore to even cry.
That was traumatizing for her ma. I mean she is fifteen years older then me shouldn't she be my elder? Pesh whatever, I watch after my sister I love her. The Middle came over and tried to take over like a mother hen and I was like what the fuck? Uh yes this was rough mama. *sighs* I think dad said that I could not talk for nearly two days. Hahaha! I forced myself to go to school the very next day. I heard the kids insults, I heard their laughter. So far away and distant compared to death. Still there, nothing, nothing, just nothing. Tear kept falling and falling. I spoke to Loren, I spoke to JT. I would have written mama, but remember they locked me away for talking about death. Why should I fear death when he does not fear me? I am as dead as he, lost in the sea for eternity.
Riot took a deep drag off his pipe and thought to himself.
"HA!" Riot stood there thinking the same thing, but showed nothing, only shook, lost the ability to really talk, Riot has lost the ability to speak. Opening Riot's mouth had nothing come from it. All Riot could see was the dead face of his mother right there, just within arms reach. This was real death?
"Only 27 ... in four years my brother and I will be together. My Mother and I will be together. I have accomplished winning the Universe Championship, fuck the world titles people piss over, This Universe! It's a fucking head rush like God fucking you in the ear! Go ask Shane Trudex! Go ask Dax Clark! They fucking know what is going on in my head. The difference between them and I, is I am the future. All my life I have dreamed of this and now I am here and think. Wow, what do I do now mom? I am here but so what?"
Riot leaned on his hand and puffed some more. Kissing Sprit Fire kept playing over in his head. How soft her lips her, the frightening shock he'd seen in to deep honey like eyes.
Then riot started to chuckle. "I'd take you away to spaces far away, it would only be you and I, and I'd let you go back to where you came from. I just want to be there when you get away. Nothing that you'd never wish, but you got to realize that I am just a man, but there would never be another that I'd want to hold their hand. I understand ya can't take the pressure, so that's why I am offering to hold ya when the world explodes. Trust me I can help ya get away."
Riot took a long drag and sat there still dazed and glazed. This was the only way to sleep right before the match. When he woke in the morning he felt more alert and awake like his brain had regrown over night. Becoming as long as the tiny bit of black hair that stuck out the back of his mask.
It hurt a lot right now, reality was closing in and like a hug from death.
"That girl doesn't care, nobody cares that I am the Universe Champion. Sis is caught up in her own ass. The Middle dude is turning into his father, and here I am ... Who am I? I have memories from beyond anything a normal human should remember. It is not fair, it is not fair that I was forced into all of this at all. For my dreams to be nightmares that I would wake to a deathening fright, for me to cry and cry for no reason. Now ... now I feel it again, I feel death. Yes I sleep, I sleep to dream, but now I started thinking to myself. What happens if I never wake up? Who would care f Riot never woke up? Riot holds his hands over his face and then balled up a fist and hit his head very lightly. Thinking about it.
"Amanda ... fuck Amanda. I let her go so she could fly freely and love freely. I do not need her to drown in the muck like I do. She would be fine if Riot never woke up, she would move on fine."
He let out a deep sigh looked at the pipe and pressed it to his lips. Riot used to idolize a certain superstar athlete. Riot used to think that it would be great to have this man's life, he has been through hardship like Riot. He had a sexy wife, he even got the privileged of being a father, but now Riot sees that this man is nothing. It made Riot feel dead, the workd was drying, it was all slowly fading into itself, turning to fire, fire that burned in Riot's eyes. Blake is even less a man then Riot is and it angers him very deeply that such a fool could have what Riot will never have. It was just like Dax Clark had told Riot back in aws, but Riot is a confused little Riot sometimes.
"Heh." Riot took a long drag to hold it all in. He thought about Amanda crying and crying. He loved how she held it in till she was hitting him full of tears. He smiled, good he always thinks. She can feel me now, nobody ever feels me, I am trapped in here. So trapped. Nobody wants to find me, I am too scary to find.
"I do not have to stoop down to calling you Sprit. Just Ruth do you know how long ago it was? that you first met me? I don't remember things, because it hurt to see that such an ass got you hook line and sinker. Dax is my homie and business is business, but look at your arms. The tracks are still there I am sure, you gave him three children. All this he should be thankful for, but he isn't." Riot pulled back his sleeve and revealed to badly scared wrist, all the way up to his forearm.
"I punish myself so that others will be spared, not because of attention, not because I hate my life, tho who does not at times honestly. They will lead you into temptation, and will you devour the truth which is all lies, I'd beg you to remember, but I am nothing to you. I said my piece before the match already to you. Now it's time to put up or shut the fuck up. You forget these other fuckers and explain to me about Sprit's rebirth? Tell me how she will become the first female Universe title, or defeat a man she never wins against. They have you so trapped this is too hard to watch. Dax told me to let it go. I am really fucking amazed that Josie hasn't cast out a lasso to reel you back to her as well. I now how she is she is like me. ha-ha. You got where you want baby, it's only a game and I know your wicked ass wants to play. Like a little kitten staring at me blankly wanted me to pet her, so what happens, if nobody cares for her?"
Riot paused to think about it for a moment. Josie was more about Dax Clark for some reason. Yet she had called out Sprit awhile ago. Not like Josie to just give in after one loss, has Josie changed?
"Well I hit her in the face, I stole her sex toy's definition so now he is the what? The Trademark, oh the trademark or professional wrestling. That's you Shane, stupid dumb ass. Did Raven slip you some acid or something boy? Really? This is just, what? I also heard you are accused of being Alayna's baby's daddy. Ya Boiiiiii! Bet you that Blake's a possibility too, and Adam, hell Primo wouldn't surprise me either. Oh or me I guess, eh. Shane you better wake the fuck up or you going to be Knocked the F'out! This is my Gathering, my title match, and I am going to walk out of Rebirth as the Champion. The spirits are free, but they all want to suck off me, hey not your fault bros. It's in the stars for me just ride the wave and it be alright."
Riot made a ave motion with his hand in the air as he chuckled.
"Can you put a price on peace? Pesh I listen to that shit off tv. Yeah peace sells...,but whos buying. Don't be a damn fool Ruth, you follow your heart, it never lies to you it hates to be broken. I know ... I been there. I am not going to be afraid anymore though. Just scream at me I am so far away, I am not going it break Evvvvvver! There is no way you can break me! ONLY I can break me! God tried to break me through out my whole life, even cursed me with a body of uselessness just to mock me. Wise guy isn't her? hehe. It is I that will get my Last Laugh."
Chapter 1: Do you Remember
Floating in Nothing, hear that tiny voice. Please help me out, I feel like dying. Everything is dying.
Does anyone remember when I was locked away with Maxine Hunter? Do you remember that Sprit? I bet Evie does, Evie is quick to care about everything and it has weighed greatly on her heart. Bless Anubis for taking pity on her and giving her an aid along her journey. Come to think of it Maxine told a simular tale. If you ever listened to the fairy tales Sprit ... if you would only believe in yourself Ruth, the way you believe in he ... heh. Well then maybe you'd figure it all out.
Riot sighs and shakes his head. Riot's voice was a bit raspy, but that didn't stop him from talking.
I love how clever Maxine is, how she is split off from the world. G-GENIUS! I am split off from the world, so I created my own world, here alone in the darkness. I started putting out little lights in the blackness. I was bored. Yes creation was made out of boredom, too bad if you don't believe me this is not your story it's AJ's bitch. I put them in pattern in drawings, then I made them move. They each started to dance and I found that so pretty. I would stare for ever at them. Again... boredom. I stopped them from dancing, and placed in different planets to fly circles in the sky around the stars. One of the planets I seen as most beautiful. Both dirt and water, and together they made mud. I did not do this, well. heh, I did I put them together, but holly shit! So I dipped my finger in the mud, and wow that was some good stuff man. In and out, it was so nasty, but it felt so good. Eventually came a figure that looked like me."
Riot started to laugh, and spun around to walk the other way.
"Oh trust me this being looked like I. Mystified by this second happening I was liked Damn! I wanted to go to earth to be with this creature. How would One go about doing this I thought to myself. There was no answer, so I stood there though eternity trying to figure it out. I grew impatient, so I was like fuck it and searched over Earth for the most beautiful, Godly like spot. There I seen, and I blew my breath to the sand and One was born. Are you paying attention all? This is true I swear. My sweat, my blood, my tears all in this earth. ANnd she loved it, she devoured me, then I awoke and here I was on this earth. I hear stories of my creation, but that world does not exists my world does. Blake can be off in his, Raven can go off to his, but this is mine. The world Mine, and right now I am the Universe Champion, so I think I have a bit more leverage then you two."
Riot took in a deep breath. He himself was fascinated by his own talking like he heard it for the first time.
"So like there I am, walking around this Earth, and it is boring, so I make this and I make that, that shit was exhausting so I laid down. Next thing I know I wake up and there is this image of me on top of me I am like what the frick, get the hell away from me. Then I laughed Hahaha telling me ot get the hell away from me. haha...."
Riot sighed and scratched his head as he smirked to himself.
You know Sprit, you don't think you are more powerful then Maxine? HAHA! Fear makes the wolf look bigger, that big bad naughty wolf. It's been a war for many years, just like the war in my head. Maxine told us about it. JR and I when we were imprisoned. Why do you and your sister fucking like her? I mean, um if I had one day left to life giving that a ride is on my list, but that is hardly likely. How the nymphs would fight with the fey. The Elders cried because of the horrific beauty that was lost because of the power of darkness. Yet ... yet without darkness light would never be appreciated. That is all that stupid fugly husband is trying to say. Hell woman you could wait forever for him to finish mapping out the heavens, or the depths of hades. You really want to do this? I sure the fuck am not. I want to get a move on with my life if that means stepping over Blake then so be it.
Riot looked at the Universe title in his hands and jerked back in great amazement grabbing the top of his masked head.
"Wooooooooooow what is this?! Oh me, right. You know I have only thought that so many times in my life. When I heard and seen Josie for the first time. I just had to poke at her, it was instinct. I was star struck or something. Then seeing how angrily you peck at her and she laughs. Even in IWCA I think it was called. Sprit you crack me up. You take things so serious. I need a diaper for this match because if you show up in the mind set I know everyone wants you too, I might wet my pants and get disqualified for soiling myself of something weird. Yet then if I turn my head a little there is Blake fighting for control of your motions. Hahaha! I thought .. I can not believe this, all attached to another, link after link just follow the dots. WHAT A RUSH!! This dude is Nucking Futs. hehe. That only motivates me though."
Riot made two fist and dropped to his knee shouting and bashing his fist against his chest and then off his head.
"I want it all I want it all for my own!! HAHAHAHA! Come take it from me! Josie would have the longest journey but Mmmmmmmmmm I know that woman's endurance! Blake has no new trick that I have not already learned off of him. so blah. I hate to say this, but you raised the best in Rage, and Rage is who opened my eyes to the lies. Hurriclark only shed light onto them. Look at this title how the stars are so engraved into it sparkling, you might as well enjoy that cozy after glow while it last my beauties, but I represent a higher power! I represent all that is good and evil in the world and I embrace my nature to the fullest. I am INSANE! I am THE UNIVERSE CHAMPION! NOT Shane TRUDEX! NOT Blake ARCHER! NOT Raven TRUEBLOOD! NOT Alejandro PRIMO! Nobody in that locker room could even imagine what is going on in my head! One of them is fast asleep in dream world but whispers in the ear of the Greatest Villain ALIVE! OH YOU DIDN'T KNOW?"
Riot laughs hard and nearly chokes himself before shaking his head and sighing before pacing in the spot rubbing the top of his head menacingly. This time as Riot spoke his voice was smoother and more serious.
"That's right Hurriclark told me your weakness Blake. still so afraid at your age? Nobody is going to remember you boy, they will remember AJ Riot, not Blake Archer! Remember when you broke my wrist? Payback is a bitch, and she is going to get you. Then again sure Shane will remember, I already got Josie good luck because deep inside Josie will always remember me more. Will Sprit forget? It's her choice."
Riot chuckled and decided to lift his mask just enough that his lips could be visible, though he is a bit androgynous looking. Riot smirked and licked his lips before putting a small rolled ciggerette to his lips.
"I can make this message very clear for anyone. If your mind is not on this Universe title, if your mind is not on ME... then don't even show up at Rebirth!"
Riot smirked and took another puff from the rolled cig and held it in as he danced his way back to the giant stero that his mother had passed down from him.
"Since we have so many of you kindred spirits out there in this IWS Universe I am going to play something that can so fully describe my feeling."
Riot picked up the Universe title and kissed it softly before hitting play.
Riot strapped the title around his waist and turned his back to the camera. He slowly listen to the music and kept himself still, though his heart was pumping quickly. Riot thought of one thing he could relate this emotion to. Winning the Universe title, it's not like having a baby, Riot didn't create the Universe title. It wasn't like a little crush either, this title is way more important then some female. Then the thought strikes him as he remembered it. He smirks flashing some teeth.
"Is this what you want Sprit? Ignore Blake, come on baby you come and get it."
Riot extended his arms around his waist and over the front plate of the championship title.
"When the truth is found to be lies and all the joy within you dies. don't you want somebody to love, don't you need somebody to love, wouldn't you love somebody to love, you better find somebody to love. Least ... That's what I think you should do. Remember afterall at the en of every fairy tale, star wars, cranky potter, the princess bride, hell I could go on through all eternity, but I can't stop time for you lovely. Sprit you are a mother, today my mother died. Years ago, present day, future date. That not the point because my life is what matters to me and my mother mattered to me Sprit. When Nikki grows up and deals with the death of Blake, or of you she will think back on that love and feel utterly and completely empty. Just like you are, I watched you over the career how you would punish Blake, not because he deserved it. But because you are just that narsassistic, you like to believe you are not, but you are just as bad as Maxine. Up there in the clouds laughing at the people Blake toys with. You with to toy around too, and he gets angry. Aww."
Riot pretended to be sad and rub his eyes like he was crying in an overly mocking tone.
"Boo woo man, let's get the fuck lifted. We don't have time for little shit like that. We have the here, we have the NOW! So Sprit I will ask you where was that girl I used to know....umm...when I see this title, I think of them all. Those dirty birds in my back yard. I was very scared of them as a child Ruth, then I grew up a little and I would play with them. I could cry to them, they would laugh at me sometimes and make me so angry, once I jumped up and choked this bird's neck. She laughed and laughed and I froze, why is she laughing? WHY, WHY WHY!!?"
Riot paced around slapping his fist to the top of his head repeating 'why' over and over.
"OH! Then it hit me, she laughs because I am too serious. Yes that is the reason. I remembered it from the way I felt when I seen Josie's anger. I was like wow I am like that? Daaaaamn! How I would laugh at her for being angry and she attack me, then I would get angry and strike back and she would laugh."
Riot smiled a little and felt a jolt tremble up him. He chuckled a little licking the edge of his teeth thinking the feeling was very devouring.
"I seen a new beauty in you though Sprit. You are not a you are a rabbit like me. Maybe you'll go to the moon with me to make an elixir of life. Heh, sill things I read in books. Real mythology, there is no proof against it nor for it. Just ... your moral interpretation. When I read about stuff philosophers said I think of men that came before me. I look at this title and think of who came before me. I look at everyone out there. They are a blur to me, nothing but a drug rush that doesn't matter to me. I notice you because you will well would suffer to death willingly. It was that beauty and truth that showed my heart what love is. Just like my mother did. How Blake hurts you yet you never wavier from him. You do not need to suffer any longer Sprit. Even if I must take it upon myself then I will put you out of your misery. I hate seeing you as a punching bag anymore. Just ... let it all out. I will stop the circles spinning around you, I will grant you a freedom from being alone. But you have to rule with me...come on... ya know ya want to go with me Sprit. So who's coming with me man? So help me if that giggle pants Evie raises her hand I'll slap her down. Little girls trying ot get it on with me. I can't handle people less then 7 years my senor...pesh. Oh ... my bad. The point I was getting to is Love. Noting is more powerful then a mother's love for her young, because together they are one."
Riot put two fingers to his lips and blew a peace sign kiss at the camera.
"Peace out freaks and geeks!"
But before he got away he was hit with a needle to the neck and a masked robed person.
As Riot woke up he looked around, caged in razor. He heard the voice.
Voice: AJ why do you cut? To feel, to bleed it all out? You are always in a rush, so I have given you time. Are you willing to sacrifice in order to reach your dream?
AJ thought about it, too scared to really move. just trapped there. looking at the razor wire all over the place trapping her in.
"I don't care if I die, I just don't want to die alone."
AJ woke up and looked across at Max. "I have an offer."
Riot sat there looking and realized that he was behind his mask. He slowly nodded.
"Good, because I need a person willing to listen. Are you more grown now?"
Riot thought about this the scars on his body from the suffering. He slowly nodded his head. "Good."
Maxine started to explain something to Riot, but her voice was unable to be heard clearly. Riot sat there blankly listening to her. To everything she anted to say. Surprisingly as crazy as it all sounded, Riot could tell that Maxine was far less greedy then she used to be. She actually had deep hurt in her voice as she spoke about Sara, she explained why she believed in Raven's Wicked Path. She explained the feelings of somebody else who is already dead. Yet Riot is still alive, and now feels the burden of this poor woman. He nods to Maxine so slowly it felt like somebody hit freeze frame.
"So ... find the pieces and put them together." Max looked at Riot with the sly devilish grin she had, her teeth reflecting. Riot took in a deep breath and let it out with arms crossed and nodded again.
The scene then faded out.
~Conclusion~
Should there really be a sacrifice? The winds bring changes rather we want them to or not, but the secret in the breeze is that they want you to fight back. It's a dance, elegant and beautiful, graceful and light. Yet above the pretty ballerina I see demented shadowy figures. They smirked and call call at her, she is to be placed on a pedestal, not looked down upon. She takes in all their pain so they may move on, yet I do not think she realizes, she is nothing just like me. Just like the world, just like this Universe.
I am the Champion, I set the standards. We are all the same if you let us decay, we all bleed the same, sweat, cry, feel. The Winds will never ever change that about us. To give up infinity in order to have an End. That is true self sacrifice, I know about it, and I know that everyone in this match knows about it. I am down in the grime and dirt with you yet you want to spit at me? So be it, I will let you fall and start your path over again, in face how about a kick in the ass to help. Disappointment in Shane, disappointment in Sprit, disappointment in Blake. *sighs* this is getting so dull why am I the only one noticing it?
*Deeply sighs* If I die do not cry, I will fly down from the sky. But if that is what it takes to bring you to life then I gladly do it. Just never let me be alone, only you need to remember me. My Family, myself. After that life is yours, so take it, take whatever you wish. #1 is always the most true, insane or not. it is still the same power behind it all. The is what I find so beautiful about this world and have not left it.
I have moved on from Joanna then I met a girl named
This was how I became infatuated by Sprit fire.
Have you lost a loved one? What about your parent? Mother? Father? Did they abuse you? Neglect you?
These are a lot of questions to answer, but I have searched for them, painfully. So incredibly painfully that I became a living dead. Riot is not a god, Riot is not a man nor woman, Riot is not mortal nor immortal. Riot is simply Riot, breathing, bleeding, feeling, fearing, hating, loving. This ... is all Riot.
Dreaming of rising from the filth of the earth to the god that cursed Riot to such a painful life, it has been a life long battle. As a young child Riot marked off on a calender. "Oh only blah blah days closer to 100 years old. My life is getting shorter."
Have you been born dead and waited for some one to find you? My twin brother was dead at birth I said fuck that. Half of me has been dead my whole life. Part of me fully alive and the other half sitting in purgatory smirking in my shadows.
Riot did not appreciate life, because what was there to appreciate? The kids saying what a freak Riot is? Spitting spit balls at Riot? Throwing half eaten food or condiments? How about being the youngest with the biggest curse of being a Socialpath and Empath all at once? Do you think this was all a cake walk for Riot? Riot only had Riot and death. "My salvation Ruth Jones. My death, please grant me death. Please make Sprit Fire kill me."
Riot fades out somewhat as he closed his eyes under his mask and was looking over the rainbows that leaped and danced in his head, and the darkness that stroked over them. Evie walked in behind him and stayed quiet. "I do very much fancy your sister. I am sorry."
The ghost of his past seemed to fade in Riot's head.
Now at 23 years old Riot is the youngest Universe Champion. Shane Trudex might think this title defines him, but Riot defines the Universe Championship. Winning this title has changed nothing, only amplified a fire that Dax Clark set ablaze almost 3 years ago. What should have been Riot's back at HalloWicked. It was alright, I am patient, take your time work it slow, you know me I go with the flow.
Slowly Riot smirked and stood up. Riot walked over too a bookcase and took down and urn of his mother's ashes. Riot let out a deep breath talking into the air. "Dear mama, it was four years ago this month that you left. I know you left nobody's soul could be as peaceful as yours the last we talked. I felt my heart become lifted, I felt liberated lately. Perhaps four is the right number. After all when calling the corners you use four. I remember what you told me mama."
Riot started laughing. "Guess what today is 27, I have Four. Don't say I ever didn't tell you Ruth. Take it all in baby, I am everywhere. The wood the rock the mud, I am the fucking scum of the earth. I don't have to preach it they all come to me freely. Because free it the way to be, Blake might have shut Josie's eyes, hence fuck her. ... and I can't really do that because that girl gives me the giggles I could hardly handle her last time I faced her I might have actually crapped my pants that match I don't remember a lot. I get hit in the head so many times that sometimes I forget my name, but people call me AJ and tell me I'm a Riot."
Yes four years ago after Riot watched as his mother died in front of his eyes. Watched as his older sister freaked out and screamed "mommy! mommy NO!"
He took a deep breath, his tears ducks hurt from being too sore to even cry.
That was traumatizing for her ma. I mean she is fifteen years older then me shouldn't she be my elder? Pesh whatever, I watch after my sister I love her. The Middle came over and tried to take over like a mother hen and I was like what the fuck? Uh yes this was rough mama. *sighs* I think dad said that I could not talk for nearly two days. Hahaha! I forced myself to go to school the very next day. I heard the kids insults, I heard their laughter. So far away and distant compared to death. Still there, nothing, nothing, just nothing. Tear kept falling and falling. I spoke to Loren, I spoke to JT. I would have written mama, but remember they locked me away for talking about death. Why should I fear death when he does not fear me? I am as dead as he, lost in the sea for eternity.
Riot took a deep drag off his pipe and thought to himself.
"HA!" Riot stood there thinking the same thing, but showed nothing, only shook, lost the ability to really talk, Riot has lost the ability to speak. Opening Riot's mouth had nothing come from it. All Riot could see was the dead face of his mother right there, just within arms reach. This was real death?
"Only 27 ... in four years my brother and I will be together. My Mother and I will be together. I have accomplished winning the Universe Championship, fuck the world titles people piss over, This Universe! It's a fucking head rush like God fucking you in the ear! Go ask Shane Trudex! Go ask Dax Clark! They fucking know what is going on in my head. The difference between them and I, is I am the future. All my life I have dreamed of this and now I am here and think. Wow, what do I do now mom? I am here but so what?"
Riot leaned on his hand and puffed some more. Kissing Sprit Fire kept playing over in his head. How soft her lips her, the frightening shock he'd seen in to deep honey like eyes.
Then riot started to chuckle. "I'd take you away to spaces far away, it would only be you and I, and I'd let you go back to where you came from. I just want to be there when you get away. Nothing that you'd never wish, but you got to realize that I am just a man, but there would never be another that I'd want to hold their hand. I understand ya can't take the pressure, so that's why I am offering to hold ya when the world explodes. Trust me I can help ya get away."
Riot took a long drag and sat there still dazed and glazed. This was the only way to sleep right before the match. When he woke in the morning he felt more alert and awake like his brain had regrown over night. Becoming as long as the tiny bit of black hair that stuck out the back of his mask.
It hurt a lot right now, reality was closing in and like a hug from death.
"That girl doesn't care, nobody cares that I am the Universe Champion. Sis is caught up in her own ass. The Middle dude is turning into his father, and here I am ... Who am I? I have memories from beyond anything a normal human should remember. It is not fair, it is not fair that I was forced into all of this at all. For my dreams to be nightmares that I would wake to a deathening fright, for me to cry and cry for no reason. Now ... now I feel it again, I feel death. Yes I sleep, I sleep to dream, but now I started thinking to myself. What happens if I never wake up? Who would care f Riot never woke up? Riot holds his hands over his face and then balled up a fist and hit his head very lightly. Thinking about it.
"Amanda ... fuck Amanda. I let her go so she could fly freely and love freely. I do not need her to drown in the muck like I do. She would be fine if Riot never woke up, she would move on fine."
He let out a deep sigh looked at the pipe and pressed it to his lips. Riot used to idolize a certain superstar athlete. Riot used to think that it would be great to have this man's life, he has been through hardship like Riot. He had a sexy wife, he even got the privileged of being a father, but now Riot sees that this man is nothing. It made Riot feel dead, the workd was drying, it was all slowly fading into itself, turning to fire, fire that burned in Riot's eyes. Blake is even less a man then Riot is and it angers him very deeply that such a fool could have what Riot will never have. It was just like Dax Clark had told Riot back in aws, but Riot is a confused little Riot sometimes.
"Heh." Riot took a long drag to hold it all in. He thought about Amanda crying and crying. He loved how she held it in till she was hitting him full of tears. He smiled, good he always thinks. She can feel me now, nobody ever feels me, I am trapped in here. So trapped. Nobody wants to find me, I am too scary to find.
"I do not have to stoop down to calling you Sprit. Just Ruth do you know how long ago it was? that you first met me? I don't remember things, because it hurt to see that such an ass got you hook line and sinker. Dax is my homie and business is business, but look at your arms. The tracks are still there I am sure, you gave him three children. All this he should be thankful for, but he isn't." Riot pulled back his sleeve and revealed to badly scared wrist, all the way up to his forearm.
"I punish myself so that others will be spared, not because of attention, not because I hate my life, tho who does not at times honestly. They will lead you into temptation, and will you devour the truth which is all lies, I'd beg you to remember, but I am nothing to you. I said my piece before the match already to you. Now it's time to put up or shut the fuck up. You forget these other fuckers and explain to me about Sprit's rebirth? Tell me how she will become the first female Universe title, or defeat a man she never wins against. They have you so trapped this is too hard to watch. Dax told me to let it go. I am really fucking amazed that Josie hasn't cast out a lasso to reel you back to her as well. I now how she is she is like me. ha-ha. You got where you want baby, it's only a game and I know your wicked ass wants to play. Like a little kitten staring at me blankly wanted me to pet her, so what happens, if nobody cares for her?"
Riot paused to think about it for a moment. Josie was more about Dax Clark for some reason. Yet she had called out Sprit awhile ago. Not like Josie to just give in after one loss, has Josie changed?
"Well I hit her in the face, I stole her sex toy's definition so now he is the what? The Trademark, oh the trademark or professional wrestling. That's you Shane, stupid dumb ass. Did Raven slip you some acid or something boy? Really? This is just, what? I also heard you are accused of being Alayna's baby's daddy. Ya Boiiiiii! Bet you that Blake's a possibility too, and Adam, hell Primo wouldn't surprise me either. Oh or me I guess, eh. Shane you better wake the fuck up or you going to be Knocked the F'out! This is my Gathering, my title match, and I am going to walk out of Rebirth as the Champion. The spirits are free, but they all want to suck off me, hey not your fault bros. It's in the stars for me just ride the wave and it be alright."
Riot made a ave motion with his hand in the air as he chuckled.
"Can you put a price on peace? Pesh I listen to that shit off tv. Yeah peace sells...,but whos buying. Don't be a damn fool Ruth, you follow your heart, it never lies to you it hates to be broken. I know ... I been there. I am not going to be afraid anymore though. Just scream at me I am so far away, I am not going it break Evvvvvver! There is no way you can break me! ONLY I can break me! God tried to break me through out my whole life, even cursed me with a body of uselessness just to mock me. Wise guy isn't her? hehe. It is I that will get my Last Laugh."
Chapter 1: Do you Remember
Floating in Nothing, hear that tiny voice. Please help me out, I feel like dying. Everything is dying.
Does anyone remember when I was locked away with Maxine Hunter? Do you remember that Sprit? I bet Evie does, Evie is quick to care about everything and it has weighed greatly on her heart. Bless Anubis for taking pity on her and giving her an aid along her journey. Come to think of it Maxine told a simular tale. If you ever listened to the fairy tales Sprit ... if you would only believe in yourself Ruth, the way you believe in he ... heh. Well then maybe you'd figure it all out.
Riot sighs and shakes his head. Riot's voice was a bit raspy, but that didn't stop him from talking.
I love how clever Maxine is, how she is split off from the world. G-GENIUS! I am split off from the world, so I created my own world, here alone in the darkness. I started putting out little lights in the blackness. I was bored. Yes creation was made out of boredom, too bad if you don't believe me this is not your story it's AJ's bitch. I put them in pattern in drawings, then I made them move. They each started to dance and I found that so pretty. I would stare for ever at them. Again... boredom. I stopped them from dancing, and placed in different planets to fly circles in the sky around the stars. One of the planets I seen as most beautiful. Both dirt and water, and together they made mud. I did not do this, well. heh, I did I put them together, but holly shit! So I dipped my finger in the mud, and wow that was some good stuff man. In and out, it was so nasty, but it felt so good. Eventually came a figure that looked like me."
Riot started to laugh, and spun around to walk the other way.
"Oh trust me this being looked like I. Mystified by this second happening I was liked Damn! I wanted to go to earth to be with this creature. How would One go about doing this I thought to myself. There was no answer, so I stood there though eternity trying to figure it out. I grew impatient, so I was like fuck it and searched over Earth for the most beautiful, Godly like spot. There I seen, and I blew my breath to the sand and One was born. Are you paying attention all? This is true I swear. My sweat, my blood, my tears all in this earth. ANnd she loved it, she devoured me, then I awoke and here I was on this earth. I hear stories of my creation, but that world does not exists my world does. Blake can be off in his, Raven can go off to his, but this is mine. The world Mine, and right now I am the Universe Champion, so I think I have a bit more leverage then you two."
Riot took in a deep breath. He himself was fascinated by his own talking like he heard it for the first time.
"So like there I am, walking around this Earth, and it is boring, so I make this and I make that, that shit was exhausting so I laid down. Next thing I know I wake up and there is this image of me on top of me I am like what the frick, get the hell away from me. Then I laughed Hahaha telling me ot get the hell away from me. haha...."
Riot sighed and scratched his head as he smirked to himself.
You know Sprit, you don't think you are more powerful then Maxine? HAHA! Fear makes the wolf look bigger, that big bad naughty wolf. It's been a war for many years, just like the war in my head. Maxine told us about it. JR and I when we were imprisoned. Why do you and your sister fucking like her? I mean, um if I had one day left to life giving that a ride is on my list, but that is hardly likely. How the nymphs would fight with the fey. The Elders cried because of the horrific beauty that was lost because of the power of darkness. Yet ... yet without darkness light would never be appreciated. That is all that stupid fugly husband is trying to say. Hell woman you could wait forever for him to finish mapping out the heavens, or the depths of hades. You really want to do this? I sure the fuck am not. I want to get a move on with my life if that means stepping over Blake then so be it.
Riot looked at the Universe title in his hands and jerked back in great amazement grabbing the top of his masked head.
"Wooooooooooow what is this?! Oh me, right. You know I have only thought that so many times in my life. When I heard and seen Josie for the first time. I just had to poke at her, it was instinct. I was star struck or something. Then seeing how angrily you peck at her and she laughs. Even in IWCA I think it was called. Sprit you crack me up. You take things so serious. I need a diaper for this match because if you show up in the mind set I know everyone wants you too, I might wet my pants and get disqualified for soiling myself of something weird. Yet then if I turn my head a little there is Blake fighting for control of your motions. Hahaha! I thought .. I can not believe this, all attached to another, link after link just follow the dots. WHAT A RUSH!! This dude is Nucking Futs. hehe. That only motivates me though."
Riot made two fist and dropped to his knee shouting and bashing his fist against his chest and then off his head.
"I want it all I want it all for my own!! HAHAHAHA! Come take it from me! Josie would have the longest journey but Mmmmmmmmmm I know that woman's endurance! Blake has no new trick that I have not already learned off of him. so blah. I hate to say this, but you raised the best in Rage, and Rage is who opened my eyes to the lies. Hurriclark only shed light onto them. Look at this title how the stars are so engraved into it sparkling, you might as well enjoy that cozy after glow while it last my beauties, but I represent a higher power! I represent all that is good and evil in the world and I embrace my nature to the fullest. I am INSANE! I am THE UNIVERSE CHAMPION! NOT Shane TRUDEX! NOT Blake ARCHER! NOT Raven TRUEBLOOD! NOT Alejandro PRIMO! Nobody in that locker room could even imagine what is going on in my head! One of them is fast asleep in dream world but whispers in the ear of the Greatest Villain ALIVE! OH YOU DIDN'T KNOW?"
Riot laughs hard and nearly chokes himself before shaking his head and sighing before pacing in the spot rubbing the top of his head menacingly. This time as Riot spoke his voice was smoother and more serious.
"That's right Hurriclark told me your weakness Blake. still so afraid at your age? Nobody is going to remember you boy, they will remember AJ Riot, not Blake Archer! Remember when you broke my wrist? Payback is a bitch, and she is going to get you. Then again sure Shane will remember, I already got Josie good luck because deep inside Josie will always remember me more. Will Sprit forget? It's her choice."
Riot chuckled and decided to lift his mask just enough that his lips could be visible, though he is a bit androgynous looking. Riot smirked and licked his lips before putting a small rolled ciggerette to his lips.
"I can make this message very clear for anyone. If your mind is not on this Universe title, if your mind is not on ME... then don't even show up at Rebirth!"
Riot smirked and took another puff from the rolled cig and held it in as he danced his way back to the giant stero that his mother had passed down from him.
"Since we have so many of you kindred spirits out there in this IWS Universe I am going to play something that can so fully describe my feeling."
Riot picked up the Universe title and kissed it softly before hitting play.
Riot strapped the title around his waist and turned his back to the camera. He slowly listen to the music and kept himself still, though his heart was pumping quickly. Riot thought of one thing he could relate this emotion to. Winning the Universe title, it's not like having a baby, Riot didn't create the Universe title. It wasn't like a little crush either, this title is way more important then some female. Then the thought strikes him as he remembered it. He smirks flashing some teeth.
"Is this what you want Sprit? Ignore Blake, come on baby you come and get it."
Riot extended his arms around his waist and over the front plate of the championship title.
"When the truth is found to be lies and all the joy within you dies. don't you want somebody to love, don't you need somebody to love, wouldn't you love somebody to love, you better find somebody to love. Least ... That's what I think you should do. Remember afterall at the en of every fairy tale, star wars, cranky potter, the princess bride, hell I could go on through all eternity, but I can't stop time for you lovely. Sprit you are a mother, today my mother died. Years ago, present day, future date. That not the point because my life is what matters to me and my mother mattered to me Sprit. When Nikki grows up and deals with the death of Blake, or of you she will think back on that love and feel utterly and completely empty. Just like you are, I watched you over the career how you would punish Blake, not because he deserved it. But because you are just that narsassistic, you like to believe you are not, but you are just as bad as Maxine. Up there in the clouds laughing at the people Blake toys with. You with to toy around too, and he gets angry. Aww."
Riot pretended to be sad and rub his eyes like he was crying in an overly mocking tone.
"Boo woo man, let's get the fuck lifted. We don't have time for little shit like that. We have the here, we have the NOW! So Sprit I will ask you where was that girl I used to know....umm...when I see this title, I think of them all. Those dirty birds in my back yard. I was very scared of them as a child Ruth, then I grew up a little and I would play with them. I could cry to them, they would laugh at me sometimes and make me so angry, once I jumped up and choked this bird's neck. She laughed and laughed and I froze, why is she laughing? WHY, WHY WHY!!?"
Riot paced around slapping his fist to the top of his head repeating 'why' over and over.
"OH! Then it hit me, she laughs because I am too serious. Yes that is the reason. I remembered it from the way I felt when I seen Josie's anger. I was like wow I am like that? Daaaaamn! How I would laugh at her for being angry and she attack me, then I would get angry and strike back and she would laugh."
Riot smiled a little and felt a jolt tremble up him. He chuckled a little licking the edge of his teeth thinking the feeling was very devouring.
"I seen a new beauty in you though Sprit. You are not a you are a rabbit like me. Maybe you'll go to the moon with me to make an elixir of life. Heh, sill things I read in books. Real mythology, there is no proof against it nor for it. Just ... your moral interpretation. When I read about stuff philosophers said I think of men that came before me. I look at this title and think of who came before me. I look at everyone out there. They are a blur to me, nothing but a drug rush that doesn't matter to me. I notice you because you will well would suffer to death willingly. It was that beauty and truth that showed my heart what love is. Just like my mother did. How Blake hurts you yet you never wavier from him. You do not need to suffer any longer Sprit. Even if I must take it upon myself then I will put you out of your misery. I hate seeing you as a punching bag anymore. Just ... let it all out. I will stop the circles spinning around you, I will grant you a freedom from being alone. But you have to rule with me...come on... ya know ya want to go with me Sprit. So who's coming with me man? So help me if that giggle pants Evie raises her hand I'll slap her down. Little girls trying ot get it on with me. I can't handle people less then 7 years my senor...pesh. Oh ... my bad. The point I was getting to is Love. Noting is more powerful then a mother's love for her young, because together they are one."
Riot put two fingers to his lips and blew a peace sign kiss at the camera.
"Peace out freaks and geeks!"
But before he got away he was hit with a needle to the neck and a masked robed person.
As Riot woke up he looked around, caged in razor. He heard the voice.
Voice: AJ why do you cut? To feel, to bleed it all out? You are always in a rush, so I have given you time. Are you willing to sacrifice in order to reach your dream?
AJ thought about it, too scared to really move. just trapped there. looking at the razor wire all over the place trapping her in.
"I don't care if I die, I just don't want to die alone."
AJ woke up and looked across at Max. "I have an offer."
Riot sat there looking and realized that he was behind his mask. He slowly nodded.
"Good, because I need a person willing to listen. Are you more grown now?"
Riot thought about this the scars on his body from the suffering. He slowly nodded his head. "Good."
Maxine started to explain something to Riot, but her voice was unable to be heard clearly. Riot sat there blankly listening to her. To everything she anted to say. Surprisingly as crazy as it all sounded, Riot could tell that Maxine was far less greedy then she used to be. She actually had deep hurt in her voice as she spoke about Sara, she explained why she believed in Raven's Wicked Path. She explained the feelings of somebody else who is already dead. Yet Riot is still alive, and now feels the burden of this poor woman. He nods to Maxine so slowly it felt like somebody hit freeze frame.
"So ... find the pieces and put them together." Max looked at Riot with the sly devilish grin she had, her teeth reflecting. Riot took in a deep breath and let it out with arms crossed and nodded again.
The scene then faded out.
~Conclusion~
Should there really be a sacrifice? The winds bring changes rather we want them to or not, but the secret in the breeze is that they want you to fight back. It's a dance, elegant and beautiful, graceful and light. Yet above the pretty ballerina I see demented shadowy figures. They smirked and call call at her, she is to be placed on a pedestal, not looked down upon. She takes in all their pain so they may move on, yet I do not think she realizes, she is nothing just like me. Just like the world, just like this Universe.
I am the Champion, I set the standards. We are all the same if you let us decay, we all bleed the same, sweat, cry, feel. The Winds will never ever change that about us. To give up infinity in order to have an End. That is true self sacrifice, I know about it, and I know that everyone in this match knows about it. I am down in the grime and dirt with you yet you want to spit at me? So be it, I will let you fall and start your path over again, in face how about a kick in the ass to help. Disappointment in Shane, disappointment in Sprit, disappointment in Blake. *sighs* this is getting so dull why am I the only one noticing it?
*Deeply sighs* If I die do not cry, I will fly down from the sky. But if that is what it takes to bring you to life then I gladly do it. Just never let me be alone, only you need to remember me. My Family, myself. After that life is yours, so take it, take whatever you wish. #1 is always the most true, insane or not. it is still the same power behind it all. The is what I find so beautiful about this world and have not left it.
