Scene One: The wonderer
Quote: “I roam around and watch you frown, it is all good fun for this mad clown.”
So now that Riot has had a few days to rest, he showed up at Blake’s ‘funeral’ he noticed that even Dax Clark was there. In front of the camera Riot stood there and spoke out loud.
Riot: “I owe Maxine an apology I did learn from her, I learned not to give a fuck. That was three years ago, and I also had JR Rage by my side and together we were the perfect ying yang. I see Maxine Hunter and Raven Trueblood spinning together through IWS in the corner of my eye and realize that the sands of time are falling away. I am not afraid of fading; I am not a coward like Blake Archer was. I am here to stay and implant my damn foot up the ass of this society! Josie wants this championship, what does she want it for? Glory? Fame? Pride? Haha, I promise you that my Pride is greater than yours, I promise you that my envy is deeper, and my wrath is much more wicked. I am everything and nothing is going to stop me, not you or Sprit Fire, just like Blake Archer didn’t stop me. I had to take time before deciding to come back; I spoke to many associates and took some soul searching. If Sprit was just going to take a vacation then what’s the point of being around? I am honestly ashamed, but whatever, if she needs time to go jerk off with her tears as lube then just go do it and get it out of the way and comeback when you want to hang with the real wrestlers. I also thought about Josie, and Hurriclark, then this Ryder guy that is causing a buzz. I cannot just give up on the people in this crazy little world, I can’t beg for death like Blake, and run away from life like Sprit. If they have to watch me bleed or burn, then I will gladly do so for them, but they will never cause me to die! My body is only a shell, I am a lot deeper then my roots can reach.”
AJ stood behind JR Rage and looked at her. He breathed on the back of her neck and she spun around chopping him in the neck. “You fucking hurt me!”
“Yeah well that was not polite. What the hell is this music I am listening to?” JR handed the headphones to Riot and he listen to the song that was playing and slightly started to nod back and forth and eventually just broke out into a full fledge dance to the song and he even sung along.
JT rolled her eyes. “Never mind I remember that song now, you would sing it during high school a lot and have your little goo-goo eyes about Sprit Fire.”
“I’ve watched her wrestle since I was 8 years old!” Riot pulled the earphones out of his ears and turned off the song.
“I used to know the whole choreography to that song, and the chick that sings it looks a lot like Sprit Fire…uh. Man I remember I thought how she would be the ideal girlfriend. Man what is her name?” Riot looked at Rage.
“The singer?”
“Yeah, oh that girl I could do some things to her, make her eyes roll back in her head, make her smile for a little while. Hehehehe!” Apparently Riot got himself too hyped up and he ran away giggling and rubbing his hands together.
JR stopped herself from laughing and just slightly grinned, Riot came running back. “Come on fool! We going to go show that piper my version of the pied piper, oh my god you seen that porn?! Come on Jamie you got to see it all the village whores are like damn look at that piper and then… they fuck him. Hehe, Sprit Fire is the queen of porn. Think of how many wet dreams she has been a part of!”
JR nearly lost her lunch and shook her head. “Please I rather not think of that, it’s bad enough that her and Blake have kids and proof that they mated. It is so nasty.”
Riot rubbed his head still under his mask. “Yeah… her eyes are brown, but I swear in the right light they are green, sometimes even blue and the way she moves and groves… mmm. God I am hungry let’s go eat some steak or something.”
“That sounds perfect, I need some rare meat and you said you had stuff to tell me. Just don't tell me you are going to start only dating people based off brown eyes and blonde hair.” Rage looked at Riot with a raised brow.
"Never... I just take what crosses my path. Though that's been my major spank bank ammunition. I completely am over Josie an d those stupid baby blues."
After Riot had ate at some place with JR he told her about how Josie was out of retirement, he told her who she was in this Inferno match, he even told JR about how he was thinking of just not even showing up. This fight was not about the Universe Championship. It was about Josie Pleasure and her blind hate at Sprit, and then add on the fact that her eyes had been open to the true nature of Sprit Fire, or had they been? It was possibly about the Universe Championship for Sprit Fire, but then she was announcing that she was taking a vacation after the ppv on her twitter, how serious is a champion that needs a vacation?
“She never really had an American boy, yeah Blake… but I am born in a small town, I am evolved beyond this world. Blake is nothing compared next to me.” JR nodded as they sat in the Japanese cab. She seemed to be thinking as she sat there with her arms crossed and her eyes fixed on one spot on the back of the driver's seat.
“Blake cheated on Sprit?” JR asked Riot and he nodded back to her. JR smirked as the lights of the city flashed by in her face like a blur.
“He is dying… he is finally dying, you said in the fire he laughed and thanked you?" She looked back over at Riot.
“Yeah he thanked me…weird huh?”
“Not really, It makes sense Blake always said he wanted Ruth dead because then he wouldn’t need to worry about her cheating on him, I guess… he finally just snapped and decided to act like her.” JR rested on her hand and still stared out the window.
“Sprit doesn’t run around on him, you know that.”
“Oh I know, but Blake doesn’t believe that for a second and why try and convince him otherwise. Blake is looking for his Bellamort, he wants that beautiful death that was promised to him for his suffering. If Raven has convinced Maxine he is the anti-Christ then Blake must also think so… now there is only one thing left. Did you say he acted differently?” She stayed staring away from Riot.
“Yeah, he laughed just like the fire made him happy or tickled him.”
“Keep an eye on that woman he was screwing, if she is pregnant…” She turned and looked at Riot with narrow eyes.
“I know… he said he needs a sun to complete it all. He told me that the Universe Title doesn’t mean anything to him anymore, he said his wife left him not the other way around… what did she say? He is actually sick of revolving around Sprit when she is just nothing, never happy, never sad, never mad, never glad. He is a stew pot of emotions so she drives him nuts. It drives me nuts actually!”
JR was sitting there with her eyes closed and shouted at the cab driver in Japanese. He stopped the car and she tossed money at him she then yanked AJ by the arm and exited the car in a rush. “Don’t you see it! He is Dorian! She woke him up! Who knows why, but it sounds like him. Not caring about global destruction, he is being selfish again, it's all evident. He really is dead. Um...”
Rage continued to stare as she thought on many things.
Riot was being pulled like a toy on a string and listen to JR, Dorian? Loren Bridgestone’s split personality? “No he told me Blake Archer is dead.”
JR grinned and closed her eyes again. “Is he, well then, he is getting serious isn’t he? AJ you have to go back, even if you don’t want to fuck around with Josie and Sprit I want to hear what is going on. I want to hear what Blake is up to, there is something really fishy, if Sprit doesn’t want to talk, then use the whore. Blake is not the only devil in the world.”
Riot knew she was looking at him. “I don’t want to talk to her!”
“Too bad you have to, so what she doesn’t like you, or shit… we need answers. What’s that dude’s name you like… Dax will want answers also. You got to take one for the team, you scared away Blake. You are the new center of the Universe. You are the Champion of the Universe. You can’t sit here with me and drink and laugh, go to massage parlors and shit, you got to get your ass back to the states and fucking discover some shit out.”
“Well Sprit said she is heading back to England…”
JR interrupted Riot. “Come on, England? The worst that would happen to her there is she has a drive by insulting. Oh look Ruth Jones is walking, let’s get her… *imitates driving a car* … Ello Sprit? *pause* You suck! *imitates speeding off like a drive by shooter would* See AJ, Sprit will be fine… I want you to keep your eyes on Josie and Chaz, those are the two that if Blake is up to something, then one of them would know.”
Riot had to think about this. Dax had kept saying Blake was up to some master plan, and Hurriclark said that he had turned Josie against him. Blake turned Josie against AJ, he is the one that hide behind Shane Trudex. Blake was the man that stole the woman Riot was meant to grow up and marry, Ruth Jones was meant to marry AJ, but Blake ruined that destiny. He looked at JR Rage and nodded, she was right. He should have to need her to set him straight, but it was these vixen Amazons they like to pull off his head and toss it around like a ball. Well this time they were not going to get the best of him, AJ Riot is the one that always gets the last laugh.
Scene Two: Long Hard Road out of Hell
Quote: “When you sleep I am there, but yet you never seem to care, awake and sleeping, dead and dreaming, no matter what I can hear you screaming.”
The scene opens up on AJ Riot, he is standing at the top of a building and listening to the cars drive and honk. The night is up and the stars sparkle the sky, the moon is fat and bright after waiting for it to grow Riot stares at it happy to see the fullness of the nighttime light. Many people thought him dead or kidnapped by Blake Archer, why did they think this? Was AJ Riot less of a being then Blake Archer? So what he pulled AJ out of the fire, so what he was married and had kids, nothing made Blake better then AJ! AJ is the Universe Champion he is not some average joe, he is the top motherfucker in this place, the IWS all fell under him and were clawing and biting to get to his level.
He paused perhaps he should finally share his knowledge of what Blake’s tale was from his point of view.
“George Loren Bridgestone he was such a quiet man, he never spoke to hardly anyone in high school, when he ran away at fifteen years old he joined and illegal fighting organization and street racing circuit. This place was run by a man named Damon Turk, he liked taking advantage of the overgrown teenager. He might have been fifteen, but he was very built muscular wise and tall, he stood at 6’3’’. Forgetting all that Loren’s reaction time is out of this world, most people were afraid of him, but Damon had control over him by planting his own fear in him and belittling him.
Two females named (at the time,) Amanda Young and Sara Sullivan noticed this they were fond of the young Loren. They helped him get into a high class wrestling company when he was about to turn sixteen. There he met many of his professional ties, including his future wife Ruth Jones (Sprit Fire,)I was only a young eight year old that envied how all the girls screamed for his pretty boy looks, for his big muscles, all the men wanted to be him or hated him because they couldn’t be him. Sara and Amanda noticed his head getting bigger, as the company tossed him around and around he got chewed up and spit out. Not that I noticed that, it was all in the backstage politics of wrestling. All I seen was a man that was possessive, the mirror image of me and what I should be, not him.
His ring name was Blake Archer, his favorite soap character and his star sign. You know I heard the stars changed so has Blake changed? Is he no longer the Zodiac Archer? I am jumping the gun here, literally…
Jake Green and Blake Archer, the New Bloods, like me Blake grew up loving tag teams. I love them because a tag team partner is closer to you then your girl can get, they know how you think, they know how you move, you are as part of them in that ring as they are you. I have that type of connection with a person, she is not around the United States anymore, but I understand what it means to be in a tag team.
The New Bloods just could not get their head above water, DX called them copycats, and Blake and Jake laughed about it. A Chicago die hard, and an Ohio maniac… Jake had a solid head on his shoulders, he had a deep fire that burned in him and so did his partner. Jake discovered Blake’s darker side after they introduced Sprit Fire into their group. She had been more famous, she had caught the eye of the federation Owner. Blake told Jake wouldn’t it be nice to have some leverage over the boss? Let’s get his hottest talent with us. Jake protested saying they were a tag team, but if anyone who knows Blake, knows how his silver tongue is hard to not give into.
The Downfall of the New Bloods, when Sprit joined the group they did get attention, booked in an elimination match. The boss walked up to Blake backstage. “I want Sprit to get noticed in this match, don’t let Jake outshine her.”
Blake always followed orders; he never stepped out of line. This had been his dream since he was a fetus, if it took some ass kissing he would do it, but not by stepping over his friends. In that match Blake made sure that he worked over the other team, he wore them out and then he faked an injury and let himself get pinned. Jake went on a rampage just like Blake figured and eliminated one person before he got double teamed. His anger was always a huge issue for Jake, he managed to tag in Sprit who took up Blake’s slack and eliminated another person. The odds favored the New Bloods, but Jake seen the man try and cheap shot Sprit, so he jumped in and got hit and eliminated in a matter of a few minutes. In the end Sprit won the match for the team just like the boss wanted. Nobody knew any different Blake hide the truth from his friends and let them stay in their dream.
Can any of you imagine waking up to the dirty reality of the world at only sixteen? You know something Sprit, Jake found these all out four years ago, that’s right. Do you remember four years ago? George Loren Bridgestone told his best friend that everything in his career had been a lie, that throughout the years Blake had been the one taking the beating and never getting his face above water just so Jake could stay afloat. Jake punched him right in the face, and Loren wanted Blake to die. His alter ego Dorian took over for awhile, what was that like to be married to Dorian? He is cold and not loving at all, does he hold compassion? Yes for the meek and dark hearted… how is your daughter Sprit? Wow fifteen going on sixteen, I wonder if she will become like her father, I wonder if she will hate you just like he hates you. You are so disconnected from this reality you might as well follow suit and shoot yourself as well, because after Jake excommunicated him that is what Blake did, he shot himself point blank right in the face, and the bastard still did not die, he went into a coma for four years. Then he woke up and Jake told him he forgave him, that he knew what he did was not meant for cruel intentions but done out of love. That was the first time Dorian really cried; Loren was such a crybaby, but not Dorian. Now that he understood his weaker side a little the two personalities were determined to make their brother of life proud. Yet… yet there is still something holding them back.
I don’t want to waste my air time on a pathetic deadbeat so onto more important people… Me, the Universe Champion, across my shirt it says ‘S-U-I-C-I-D-E’ now I picked this word to remember where I was born from, I want to remember who died for me, and who I die for when my time comes. None of you can imagine, none of you can understand. The most you can possibly do is just deal with it, I am free more than any of you can ever be. Even the famous Dax Clark, the deranged Hurriclark, they both have said they admire me, I have been called their hero! Josie Pleasure back in the day wanted to rip off my skin and eat it for dinner and what a fabulous thought to entertain, unfortunately I am very thickle and don’t see anything of interest in her anymore. Perhaps it was Blake, did he soften you Josie? What about Shane, did he literally fuck your brains out? That might be why you are so unappealing to me, I love brains, mmm that is the best part of a woman.
I love watching this Ryder guy, I admit I underestimated him before. I watched him fight Scythe and I watched him fight Raven. Nothing is stopping him from his justice, and you know what… the same goes for me. You want this title? Of course you do, otherwise you would be giving hand jobs in the insane asylum and keeping your tips in a jar. Which sounds nasty now that I said it out loud, how do you keep them from rotting… no you know what I’ll go there later this is time for me to talk about our match. I am forgetting one extra person… Mrs. Blake Archer. So what am I going to see, am I going to see this Everlasting light that is trying to will her husband back to life? How about that hellcat that used to jump off 20ft steel cages, the blood lusting vixen that used to eat men for lunch and toss their bones out in the trash.”
Riot paused as this was a lovely image to have and he shivered thinking about it. He rubbed his chin and paced around some. This upcoming event Midsummer’s Scream was his first appearance back since he burned down the arena in Texas, and is was in no other place then Columbus, Ohio. The same place he had just witnessed a close personal friend pass away.
“What do we leave behind when we die Sprit? A wife, three children… what Legacy has Blake put on this Earth? You know what people like Dax Clark and I think, he hasn’t left a damn thing. Sure Blake is big, sure he was a good wrestler, but all he did was whine and moan, he was begging for somebody to put that stake into his heart. Pity that his true love doesn’t care enough about him to do her job, but I gladly stepped up and answered his call, for years I have hated Blake Archer. For years I have wished I was Blake Archer, you were suppose to be my girl, you were suppose to be my wife, but all you give a damn about is that stupid loser. You get upset because he beat you, but did you ever try and beat him back? Just face it all Sprit you are as pathetic as Blake, and you are not getting my championship, and neither is Josie, neither of you will be the true champion. Neither of you are alive, you are just ghost that walk to earth and beg for mercy, you cry from pain, all those forsaken memories. Tell me now that you know how it feels, how does it feel baby? How does it feel to be dead? I spoke to you Sprit, I told you that I would give you everything, and you denied me… you denied your master so now I am taking everything from you. Don’t like it, then why don’t you deny me like a real woman and not some pathetic little shit that thinks she is going to be allowed to pass peacefully. You’ll never find peace dear Sprit until you fist find chaos. I’m going to drive that fire so deep up the both of your asses that you’ll finally see what a true scream is like. Merry Midsummer, you two, the longest day of the year and I intend to take full advantage of it before the night starts to take over.”
The scene fades out and ends, but as we reopen we wonder what is honestly going on in Riot’s head, he has claimed he might not show up, but his close ‘friends’ they all sit alone with him and egg him onward. Rage thinks he should at least go to finish what he started. Since contacting Dax Clark, he has said that not showing up would be a coward thing to do. Riot does not want ot be a coward like Blake Archer.
Dorian: “You are a chicken.”
AJ: “And Blake is a coward, I learned from the best didn't I?”
Max: “Poor little baby did you get hurt, game over haha, it’s all game over for you!”
AJ: “I burned your toy, not the other way around!”
Blake: “Are you ok? You are the champion dude, it will be ok. You do what works man.”
AJ: “… … …”
Loren: “You know I am glad I met you and LJ, you two saved my life. I had to burn to be able to go and now I can only hope that I make it to the other side. Hehe… remember what I told you about Ruth.”
AJ: “… Yeah, Namoi was like get the fuck off me, and she wouldn’t, so finally she allowed her to go with her. That was where she met and was redeemed by Boaz…”
Riot slightly smirked, he was completely alone, but these voices all spoke to him, the tales of love and betrayal were always fed into his head from a very small age. All that AJ had ever had growing up was his twin brother.
AJ: “…but Blake… Ruth said, ‘Entreat me not to leave you, or turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.”
Riot felt like he seen Blake, he felt like he was smiling at him and patted him on the head.
Blake: “My little Gideon, my small Leviticus, all my books are written and yet I was worried I would have no legacy. My legacy is all around, in the air, in the wood, in the dirt. If you lift a rock you will find me, split a piece of wood and you will find me. People seem to think they need to wait for me to come to them, they think that about anybody not just me, but yet I use Me, or I to emphasize that we are all the same.”
Riot looked in a window and seen the reflection bounce back at him, his mask it hid who he was outside of this world, but yet this world is more true to him than any other.
Blake: “You want to redeem my wife?”
Riot smirked and nodded at the image in the window, was Blake under his mask? Nearly a year ago he had been. He broke Riot’s wrist and stole his costume. Sprit had been in on all of it too, they wanted to keep Dax from claiming the championship. Shane is the one that Blake wanted to carry on for him, but yet he is promised Josie.
Dorian: “Riot, don’t you hear me? Just lift your mask and there I am. I am free, you are free… what is worth dying for more than anything?”
Riot thought, love? But how can you love if you are not free to love as you wish?
Riot: “Freedom, you kill for it, you die for it. Nothing is more important than freedom, I am free to be a jackass, or a saint, I can be anything I want to be as long as I want to be it. Yet nobody ever seems to share this passion like I do, look at this title around my waist how it sparkled and glows, yet it is only cold heavy metal… but what it represents in limitless boundaries. Josie cannot appreciate this can she? She never tapped into Blake like I did; she never has felt close to him like I have. Josie has never understood Dax Clark like I have, she has always put a wall up to him, well I accept anything he gives me and know that his will is my will, I believe in Hurriclark, I believe that he knows where my allegiance lies just like I do his. Shane also shares this trait that we all do, yet he is tied down just like Blake was. Dax and I are free, we don’t need women, and we don’t need partners. The people that are around us want to be with us, they want to help us, and they know when to back off. Has your Ruth really backed off? Is she going to follow you into death, or is she going to lead the way?”
Dorian: “I lead the way! I am the man, I lead!”
Riot laughed as he had answered himself, this was like provoking a different person almost, he didn’t feel like he was talking to himself all alone.
Riot: “You are right Dorian, we are the man… I should be leading the way, and what a way I have lead so far. No woman is going to step over me, no man is going to take my spot. I am and will forever be what I say I am. Right now I am the Universe Champion and I have to step up as one.”
Now Riot turned and his reflection in the window fades to black and the scene is over.
Quote: “I roam around and watch you frown, it is all good fun for this mad clown.”
So now that Riot has had a few days to rest, he showed up at Blake’s ‘funeral’ he noticed that even Dax Clark was there. In front of the camera Riot stood there and spoke out loud.
Riot: “I owe Maxine an apology I did learn from her, I learned not to give a fuck. That was three years ago, and I also had JR Rage by my side and together we were the perfect ying yang. I see Maxine Hunter and Raven Trueblood spinning together through IWS in the corner of my eye and realize that the sands of time are falling away. I am not afraid of fading; I am not a coward like Blake Archer was. I am here to stay and implant my damn foot up the ass of this society! Josie wants this championship, what does she want it for? Glory? Fame? Pride? Haha, I promise you that my Pride is greater than yours, I promise you that my envy is deeper, and my wrath is much more wicked. I am everything and nothing is going to stop me, not you or Sprit Fire, just like Blake Archer didn’t stop me. I had to take time before deciding to come back; I spoke to many associates and took some soul searching. If Sprit was just going to take a vacation then what’s the point of being around?

AJ stood behind JR Rage and looked at her. He breathed on the back of her neck and she spun around chopping him in the neck. “You fucking hurt me!”
“Yeah well that was not polite. What the hell is this music I am listening to?” JR handed the headphones to Riot and he listen to the song that was playing and slightly started to nod back and forth and eventually just broke out into a full fledge dance to the song and he even sung along.
JT rolled her eyes. “Never mind I remember that song now, you would sing it during high school a lot and have your little goo-goo eyes about Sprit Fire.”
“I’ve watched her wrestle since I was 8 years old!” Riot pulled the earphones out of his ears and turned off the song.

Think of how many wet dreams she has been a part of!”
JR nearly lost her lunch and shook her head. “Please I rather not think of that, it’s bad enough that her and Blake have kids and proof that they mated. It is so nasty.”

He stopped the car and she tossed money at him she then yanked AJ by the arm and exited the car in a rush. “Don’t you see it! He is Dorian! She woke him up! Who knows why, but it sounds like him. Not caring about global destruction, he is being selfish again, it's all evident. He really is dead. Um...”
Rage continued to stare as she thought on many things.
Riot was being pulled like a toy on a string and listen to JR, Dorian? Loren Bridgestone’s split personality? “No he told me Blake Archer is dead.”
JR grinned and closed her eyes again. “Is he, well then, he is getting serious isn’t he? AJ you have to go back, even if you don’t want to fuck around with Josie and Sprit I want to hear what is going on. I want to hear what Blake is up to, there is something really fishy, if Sprit doesn’t want to talk, then use the whore. Blake is not the only devil in the world.”

Blake turned Josie against AJ, he is the one that hide behind Shane Trudex. Blake was the man that stole the woman Riot was meant to grow up and marry, Ruth Jones was meant to marry AJ, but Blake ruined that destiny. He looked at JR Rage and nodded, she was right. He should have to need her to set him straight, but it was these vixen Amazons they like to pull off his head and toss it around like a ball. Well this time they were not going to get the best of him, AJ Riot is the one that always gets the last laugh.
Scene Two: Long Hard Road out of Hell
Quote: “When you sleep I am there, but yet you never seem to care, awake and sleeping, dead and dreaming, no matter what I can hear you screaming.”
The scene opens up on AJ Riot, he is standing at the top of a building and listening to the cars drive and honk. The night is up and the stars sparkle the sky, the moon is fat and bright after waiting for it to grow Riot stares at it happy to see the fullness of the nighttime light. Many people thought him dead or kidnapped by Blake Archer, why did they think this? Was AJ Riot less of a being then Blake Archer? So what he pulled AJ out of the fire, so what he was married and had kids, nothing made Blake better then AJ! AJ is the Universe Champion he is not some average joe, he is the top motherfucker in this place, the IWS all fell under him and were clawing and biting to get to his level.
He paused perhaps he should finally share his knowledge of what Blake’s tale was from his point of view.
“George Loren Bridgestone he was such a quiet man, he never spoke to hardly anyone in high school, when he ran away at fifteen years old he joined and illegal fighting organization and street racing circuit. This place was run by a man named Damon Turk, he liked taking advantage of the overgrown teenager. He might have been fifteen, but he was very built muscular wise and tall, he stood at 6’3’’. Forgetting all that Loren’s reaction time is out of this world, most people were afraid of him, but Damon had control over him by planting his own fear in him and belittling him.
Two females named (at the time,) Amanda Young and Sara Sullivan noticed this they were fond of the young Loren. They helped him get into a high class wrestling company when he was about to turn sixteen. There he met many of his professional ties, including his future wife Ruth Jones (Sprit Fire,)I was only a young eight year old that envied how all the girls screamed for his pretty boy looks, for his big muscles, all the men wanted to be him or hated him because they couldn’t be him. Sara and Amanda noticed his head getting bigger, as the company tossed him around and around he got chewed up and spit out. Not that I noticed that, it was all in the backstage politics of wrestling. All I seen was a man that was possessive, the mirror image of me and what I should be, not him.
His ring name was Blake Archer, his favorite soap character and his star sign. You know I heard the stars changed so has Blake changed? Is he no longer the Zodiac Archer? I am jumping the gun here, literally…
Jake Green and Blake Archer, the New Bloods, like me Blake grew up loving tag teams. I love them because a tag team partner is closer to you then your girl can get, they know how you think, they know how you move, you are as part of them in that ring as they are you. I have that type of connection with a person, she is not around the United States anymore, but I understand what it means to be in a tag team.
The New Bloods just could not get their head above water, DX called them copycats, and Blake and Jake laughed about it. A Chicago die hard, and an Ohio maniac… Jake had a solid head on his shoulders, he had a deep fire that burned in him and so did his partner. Jake discovered Blake’s darker side after they introduced Sprit Fire into their group. She had been more famous, she had caught the eye of the federation Owner. Blake told Jake wouldn’t it be nice to have some leverage over the boss? Let’s get his hottest talent with us. Jake protested saying they were a tag team, but if anyone who knows Blake, knows how his silver tongue is hard to not give into.
The Downfall of the New Bloods, when Sprit joined the group they did get attention, booked in an elimination match. The boss walked up to Blake backstage. “I want Sprit to get noticed in this match, don’t let Jake outshine her.”
Blake always followed orders; he never stepped out of line. This had been his dream since he was a fetus, if it took some ass kissing he would do it, but not by stepping over his friends. In that match Blake made sure that he worked over the other team, he wore them out and then he faked an injury and let himself get pinned. Jake went on a rampage just like Blake figured and eliminated one person before he got double teamed. His anger was always a huge issue for Jake, he managed to tag in Sprit who took up Blake’s slack and eliminated another person. The odds favored the New Bloods, but Jake seen the man try and cheap shot Sprit, so he jumped in and got hit and eliminated in a matter of a few minutes. In the end Sprit won the match for the team just like the boss wanted. Nobody knew any different Blake hide the truth from his friends and let them stay in their dream.
Can any of you imagine waking up to the dirty reality of the world at only sixteen? You know something Sprit, Jake found these all out four years ago, that’s right. Do you remember four years ago? George Loren Bridgestone told his best friend that everything in his career had been a lie, that throughout the years Blake had been the one taking the beating and never getting his face above water just so Jake could stay afloat. Jake punched him right in the face, and Loren wanted Blake to die. His alter ego Dorian took over for awhile, what was that like to be married to Dorian? He is cold and not loving at all, does he hold compassion? Yes for the meek and dark hearted… how is your daughter Sprit? Wow fifteen going on sixteen, I wonder if she will become like her father, I wonder if she will hate you just like he hates you. You are so disconnected from this reality you might as well follow suit and shoot yourself as well, because after Jake excommunicated him that is what Blake did, he shot himself point blank right in the face, and the bastard still did not die, he went into a coma for four years. Then he woke up and Jake told him he forgave him, that he knew what he did was not meant for cruel intentions but done out of love. That was the first time Dorian really cried; Loren was such a crybaby, but not Dorian. Now that he understood his weaker side a little the two personalities were determined to make their brother of life proud. Yet… yet there is still something holding them back.
I don’t want to waste my air time on a pathetic deadbeat so onto more important people… Me, the Universe Champion, across my shirt it says ‘S-U-I-C-I-D-E’ now I picked this word to remember where I was born from, I want to remember who died for me, and who I die for when my time comes. None of you can imagine, none of you can understand. The most you can possibly do is just deal with it, I am free more than any of you can ever be. Even the famous Dax Clark, the deranged Hurriclark, they both have said they admire me, I have been called their hero! Josie Pleasure back in the day wanted to rip off my skin and eat it for dinner and what a fabulous thought to entertain, unfortunately I am very thickle and don’t see anything of interest in her anymore. Perhaps it was Blake, did he soften you Josie? What about Shane, did he literally fuck your brains out? That might be why you are so unappealing to me, I love brains, mmm that is the best part of a woman.
I love watching this Ryder guy, I admit I underestimated him before. I watched him fight Scythe and I watched him fight Raven. Nothing is stopping him from his justice, and you know what… the same goes for me. You want this title? Of course you do, otherwise you would be giving hand jobs in the insane asylum and keeping your tips in a jar. Which sounds nasty now that I said it out loud, how do you keep them from rotting… no you know what I’ll go there later this is time for me to talk about our match. I am forgetting one extra person… Mrs. Blake Archer. So what am I going to see, am I going to see this Everlasting light that is trying to will her husband back to life? How about that hellcat that used to jump off 20ft steel cages, the blood lusting vixen that used to eat men for lunch and toss their bones out in the trash.”
Riot paused as this was a lovely image to have and he shivered thinking about it. He rubbed his chin and paced around some. This upcoming event Midsummer’s Scream was his first appearance back since he burned down the arena in Texas, and is was in no other place then Columbus, Ohio. The same place he had just witnessed a close personal friend pass away.
“What do we leave behind when we die Sprit? A wife, three children… what Legacy has Blake put on this Earth? You know what people like Dax Clark and I think, he hasn’t left a damn thing. Sure Blake is big, sure he was a good wrestler, but all he did was whine and moan, he was begging for somebody to put that stake into his heart. Pity that his true love doesn’t care enough about him to do her job, but I gladly stepped up and answered his call, for years I have hated Blake Archer. For years I have wished I was Blake Archer, you were suppose to be my girl, you were suppose to be my wife, but all you give a damn about is that stupid loser. You get upset because he beat you, but did you ever try and beat him back? Just face it all Sprit you are as pathetic as Blake, and you are not getting my championship, and neither is Josie, neither of you will be the true champion. Neither of you are alive, you are just ghost that walk to earth and beg for mercy, you cry from pain, all those forsaken memories. Tell me now that you know how it feels, how does it feel baby? How does it feel to be dead? I spoke to you Sprit, I told you that I would give you everything, and you denied me… you denied your master so now I am taking everything from you. Don’t like it, then why don’t you deny me like a real woman and not some pathetic little shit that thinks she is going to be allowed to pass peacefully. You’ll never find peace dear Sprit until you fist find chaos. I’m going to drive that fire so deep up the both of your asses that you’ll finally see what a true scream is like. Merry Midsummer, you two, the longest day of the year and I intend to take full advantage of it before the night starts to take over.”
The scene fades out and ends, but as we reopen we wonder what is honestly going on in Riot’s head, he has claimed he might not show up, but his close ‘friends’ they all sit alone with him and egg him onward. Rage thinks he should at least go to finish what he started. Since contacting Dax Clark, he has said that not showing up would be a coward thing to do. Riot does not want ot be a coward like Blake Archer.
Dorian: “You are a chicken.”
AJ: “And Blake is a coward, I learned from the best didn't I?”
Max: “Poor little baby did you get hurt, game over haha, it’s all game over for you!”
AJ: “I burned your toy, not the other way around!”
Blake: “Are you ok? You are the champion dude, it will be ok. You do what works man.”
AJ: “… … …”
Loren: “You know I am glad I met you and LJ, you two saved my life. I had to burn to be able to go and now I can only hope that I make it to the other side. Hehe… remember what I told you about Ruth.”
AJ: “… Yeah, Namoi was like get the fuck off me, and she wouldn’t, so finally she allowed her to go with her. That was where she met and was redeemed by Boaz…”
Riot slightly smirked, he was completely alone, but these voices all spoke to him, the tales of love and betrayal were always fed into his head from a very small age. All that AJ had ever had growing up was his twin brother.
AJ: “…but Blake… Ruth said, ‘Entreat me not to leave you, or turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.”
Riot felt like he seen Blake, he felt like he was smiling at him and patted him on the head.
Blake: “My little Gideon, my small Leviticus, all my books are written and yet I was worried I would have no legacy. My legacy is all around, in the air, in the wood, in the dirt. If you lift a rock you will find me, split a piece of wood and you will find me. People seem to think they need to wait for me to come to them, they think that about anybody not just me, but yet I use Me, or I to emphasize that we are all the same.”
Riot looked in a window and seen the reflection bounce back at him, his mask it hid who he was outside of this world, but yet this world is more true to him than any other.
Blake: “You want to redeem my wife?”
Riot smirked and nodded at the image in the window, was Blake under his mask? Nearly a year ago he had been. He broke Riot’s wrist and stole his costume. Sprit had been in on all of it too, they wanted to keep Dax from claiming the championship. Shane is the one that Blake wanted to carry on for him, but yet he is promised Josie.
Dorian: “Riot, don’t you hear me? Just lift your mask and there I am. I am free, you are free… what is worth dying for more than anything?”
Riot thought, love? But how can you love if you are not free to love as you wish?
Riot: “Freedom, you kill for it, you die for it. Nothing is more important than freedom, I am free to be a jackass, or a saint, I can be anything I want to be as long as I want to be it. Yet nobody ever seems to share this passion like I do, look at this title around my waist how it sparkled and glows, yet it is only cold heavy metal… but what it represents in limitless boundaries. Josie cannot appreciate this can she? She never tapped into Blake like I did; she never has felt close to him like I have. Josie has never understood Dax Clark like I have, she has always put a wall up to him, well I accept anything he gives me and know that his will is my will, I believe in Hurriclark, I believe that he knows where my allegiance lies just like I do his. Shane also shares this trait that we all do, yet he is tied down just like Blake was. Dax and I are free, we don’t need women, and we don’t need partners. The people that are around us want to be with us, they want to help us, and they know when to back off. Has your Ruth really backed off? Is she going to follow you into death, or is she going to lead the way?”
Dorian: “I lead the way! I am the man, I lead!”
Riot laughed as he had answered himself, this was like provoking a different person almost, he didn’t feel like he was talking to himself all alone.
Riot: “You are right Dorian, we are the man… I should be leading the way, and what a way I have lead so far. No woman is going to step over me, no man is going to take my spot. I am and will forever be what I say I am. Right now I am the Universe Champion and I have to step up as one.”
Now Riot turned and his reflection in the window fades to black and the scene is over.
