The scene fades into the backstage area where we see Jim Black stationed with mic in hand. Next to him stand Elsa and Justin Jehst, the latter looking just about ready to slam a chair into the next person who pisses him off.
Jim Black: OCW Universe, I, Jim Black, stand here with the ‘Hollywood Piss Taker’, the ‘Occasional Risk Taker’, Justin Jehst!
Justin stands tall with Elsa at his side, his shades still sitting on his face.
Jim: It’s a pleasure to have you here, Justin.
Jehst: It’s a pleasure to be here, Jim; out in the free world instead of locked in a damn cage on 5th Ave.
Jim: I’m sorry you had to go through that absolutely humiliating experience - - -
Justin gently pulls the mic to his mouth.
Jehst: - - - Don’t feel sorry for me, Jim. Feel sorry for Thomas Archer. He may have put me in a chicken suit and made me parade around like a dancing monkey for his own amusement, but my wish came true for later in the night.
Justin looks into the camera and whips his sunglasses off, revealing piercing green eyes full of intent.
Jehst: Ya see, Thomas, I made a wish that evening that Wrex would whip your ass all across the Turmoil arena! And guess what? You got your ass handed to you by a guy who has to piece-meal patch his clothes together!
Jehst: How was that for the ego, trust-fund baby? To know that no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy skill in that ring; you can’t buy toughness, or awareness.
Jehst: Now, I know that you have me by the Jehsticles at this point; I am indeed locked into that contract you now possess. But believe me, I will do everything I can, legally, to get out of it and rid myself of you for good!
Jim: And how do you propose to do that? I can only imagine the amount of money the 0.5% have to throw at a legal battle!
Jehst: Don’t forget, Jim, I have money too; that I earned through hard work and risk taking. And the money doesn’t necessarily have to come from me alone. I have an idea as to how I can possibly get around this whole predicament. Stay tuned, Jim.
Justin pops his lapels on his suit jacket and extends his elbow out for Elsa to take his arm.
Jehst: Let’s go, Elsa, we have some work to do.
And as the pair walk off screen, the camera stays on Jim as he watches them leave the area and the screen fades to black.
The camera pans to the announce team.
Tough talk! I like it!
Jehst gets a chance for revenge NEXT SATURDAY on Summercide PRIME!
Lotus FloJo vs ACE
The camera pans to the announce team.
Good Heavens!
Is she a Ninja?
The camera pans to the announce team.
I cannot wait!
Who you telling!
We cut once again to Cort and Shep, who are now pulled over on the side of the road by a highway patrol officer. He’s trying to be authoritative but it doesn’t really work if you’re looking up a few feet at the person you pulled over.
Officer: Sir, do you… have a permit for this?
Cort: Good question.
Shep: GOOD QUESTION? Tell me you didn’t just do this whole thing without making sure it was legal first.
Cort: Okay, I won’t.
He digs around the glove compartment to find his registration. He leans over and drops it out of the window at the officer, who just stares as it drifts down.
Cort: What?
He slaps the side of the truck.
Cort: Welded doors. Can’t get me fat ass out.
Shep whispers: You didn’t weld the doors.
Cort whispers back: Shut up, I know.
The officer reads over their info.
Officer: This is… rather incomplete. I’m afraid I’ll have to…
Cort: WAIT!
Cort: Do you really want to rest an American Veteran?
He flashes his military ID.
Cort: AND…
He hangs his title out of the window.
Cort: OCW tag team champion!?
The officer sighs.
Officer: Not really. You two have a good day now. Just for the love of God, PLEASE obey all traffic laws.
Cort salutes.
Cort: SIR YES SIR!
The camera pans to the announce team.
HAHA TAG PRIVLEGE!
For real!
The XTRON FLICKERS ON!
The camera pans to the announce team.
Man....
I mean...
Valkyrie comes out on stage with a microphone in her hand
Valkyrie: This Kasstianity thing is getting out of control real fast.
Valkyrie looks concerned
Valkyrie: When I joined OCW I made a promise to every single one of you: my one and only goal was to make this place family friendly again.
Valkyrie: I want to make OCW a wrestling show people can be proud of, a show that families can watch without worrying about negative role models influencing their kids’ minds.
Valkyrie: And well, we got plenty of those here. Which is good, because it means I will never run out of things to do.
Valkyrie: Kassidy Hayes, Anthony Baker and now Heather Angelo… they have all joined this dark cult and they are a real threat, unlike that other cult leader who keeps getting his fat ass handed to him…
Valkyrie: But thankfully, our beloved Jacob Trance has a loving wife who keeps sleeping with him in exchange of title shots, after title shots, after title shots.
Valkyrie: I mean there's a reason why Aerith got multiple title shots this season and I had zero.
As her Walmart clone’s name is mentioned, the crowd starts booing heavily. Then, a “We want Stixx! We want Stixx!” chant can be heard
Valkyrie points her microphone to the crowd, as if she was trying to make the chant get even louder
Valkyrie: Trust me, I feel your pain more than anyone else.
Valkyrie: But back to the matter at hand: Kasstianity.
Valkyrie: They need to be stopped asap. And I will do my part at Summercide by taking out Heather Angelo.
Valkyrie: You know what's funny about her?
Valkyrie giggles
Valkyrie: She calls herself the Harbinger of Death, but that's exactly what “Valkyrie” means in the ancient dialect.
Valkyrie: Valkyries were the angels of death, the “choosers of the slain”: they decided if someone was worth ascending to Valhalla, or disappearing into the depth of Ferelden.
Valkyrie: And Heather, there is no room in Valhalla for you. Not now, not ever.
Valkyrie: And as far as your leader is concerned…
The crowd reacts strongly as she mentions the World Heavyweight Champion
Valkyrie: H2O will deal with you soon enough.
Valkyrie: And to all of you here tonight, I see some of you have bought Kasstianity t-shirt s and Ghoul masks…
Valkyrie: Well, don't get used to this religion because I will make sure it won't last long around here.
Valkyrie then lowers her microphone, waiting for her music to hit, but the lights go out instead.
A diabolical laugh can be heard over the PA System. A laugh that left a lasting impression in Valkyrie’s mind.
A laugh that belongs to Heather Angelo.
The lights suddenly come back, as Valkyrie looks around, a bit scared since she wasn't expecting that to happen
Heather: Buenas noches, gringa. OCW’s Savior, Kassidy Hayes, granted me this opportunity to deliver my homily to you Valkyrie.
Valkyrie quickly looks around behind her and along ringside to find Heather. She cannot see where she is.
Valkyrie quickly makes her way back through the curtains, while the crowd is mumbling in shock
Heather: Kasstianity isn’t just something make believe like those stories you like to read. Stories of Hercules and Zeus, Aries and Aphrodite or like now…..
Heather: Valkyrie and H2O….
Heather’s last comment makes Valkyrie stop pacing around backstage. She stops to look at the loudspeaker nervously.
Heather: That’s right. While you wallow in H2O like a dirty and treacherous bird that you are; I’m walking along the darkside.
Heather: A darkside that I’ve spent my life fighting off because of uncertainty. Do you know what it means to be uncertain, Valkyrie?
As Heather continues to talk Valkyrie now feels threatened. She finds something to grab nearby for protection.
She finds a steel chair already folded against the wall. She picks it up and walks thru the backstage area cautiously for any surprised attacks.
Heather: ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!!
Valkyrie jumps out of her skin as the steel chair falls out of her hands and onto the floor.
The backstage lights flicker after Heather yells. Her voice echoes thru The Barclay’s as if it started to haunt the arena.
Valkyrie: You are out of your mind Heather!
Valkyrie screams as if Heather could actually hear her
Valkyrie: I never touched him. He is… he was your man.
Another diabolic scream can be heard, as Valkyrie suddenly drops the steel chair once again to cover her ears
Valkyrie: Kasstianity is not the answer, Heather!
Valkyrie then makes her way back to the locker room, looking for a safe place to gather herself
But instead, what she finds is even more unsettling
A trail of blood can be seen on the floor. Valkyrie follows it all the way to her locker room, as the lights are still flickering
Valkyrie then remains speechless, staring at the wall: there's a writing on it, which reads...
Valkyrie: Final Resting Place.
The words are written in blood. And next to them, the camera shows a picture of a dead valkyrie, crucified.
Valkyrie: What the f…
Valkyrie takes a closer look: the valkyrie looks very familiar to her
Valkyrie: No way, it can't be!
She was...
Valkyrie: ...Alruna, the daughter of Kjárr of Vallan. The valkyrie I told H2O about.
The lights then go completely out, as Valkyrie is heard screaming right before the camera abruptly ends its feed
