Backstage at EVPW On the Road, Chloe "Skie" Reinhardt and Steve Rumlow are in the Project Rebirth War Room, as a news report is set in outside a run-down mental institute.
Reporter:
We are outside this old mental asylum where the site of what seems to be a grisly murder can be seen.
On the outside of the building, outstretched between the doors is a body of a construction worker. Written in blood outside the doorway is "Project Rebirth"
Chloe:
What is this all about? Why is our name up there?
Rumlow:
This is not good... Have you called Shadow?
Chloe:
I have, nothing. After last week, Pyro seemed rather angry. You don't think?
A knock on the door draws the attention of the two soldiers. Rumlow answers the door, only a box, smeared with a bloody smile. The look on his face drops as he is recognizing what this means.
Rumlow:
This... This... Dammit, what happened?!
Chloe:
What are you talking about? What's all this...
Rumlow:
He... It... Thi...
The fear grips Rumlow as he drops into a chair, the box falling from his hand. Chloe sees the smile on the box, as a video tape falls out of it. She grabs it, and before Rumlow has the chance to stop her, she hits play.
=======================================
The tape starts up with the body of the construction worker being strung up, a figure clad in black military style attire pulling the ropes. The voice eerily laughing.
Voice:
This is what happens when you play with something that isn't yours! Who said you could touch it, huh?! hehe. You think that because you wear this shiny orange vest, it saves you?! HAHA! Guess again.
The figure walks back and grabs the camera, lifting it to reveal the evil grin of the Dark Jester.
Pyro:
Captain Steve Rumlow, Chloe "Skie" Reinhardt, I'm sure by the time this tape has reached you, you've seen the news. My handy work. I'm also sure you're wondering WHAT this is all about. You see, I've been watching you over these months, and I am very disappointed.
The Jester of Nightmares walks into the asylum, the grim facade filled with the echoes of something slamming into the floor. The laughter coming from the Dark Jester sending shivers down the spine of Chloe and Rumlow.
Pyro:
You see, that great Soldier tried to fight me, and fight for this wretched company. I watched you three fail again and again. I was willing to wait. See how long he could go till he resorted back to his old roots. To what made him feared. To stop relying on friends and soldiers. What it would take for him to finally man up. It. Never. Happened. Last week, watching your little friend fail to such a lousy competitor like Kahlan made me sick. So I forced my way through his little walls, and I took action.
Finally at the source of the banging, Agent Shadow, bound to a chair, can be seen. More laughter breaks from the Demon with the Smile. A look of rage and terror on the face of Shadow as Pyro begins to pet him.
Pyro:
I was tired of watching me work as a cog in an absurd machine. You see, every time he locks me up, puts me away, he thinks he is free. But the funny part about it... His freedom, is prison! It locks him up, makes him weaker. He lives in fear, and it drives him mad. All the time, his defenses weaken. Never able to keep me away for long. Now he is free. I am free...
A call from the opposite end of this asylum can be heard, an a look of annoyance crosses the face of the Jester.
Pyro:
Some people just have no manners. I clearly leave a sign on the front of the building, and still people barge in. Just a moment.
The camera drops and the Dark Jester can be seen marching into the distance. Suddenly the sounds of horrified screams tear through the building, Agent Shadow twisting in his chair to see what is going on. Finally returning, smeared in blood and the screams silenced, is Chris Pyro who picks the camera back up gleaming into the camera like a kid who just got the best present ever.
Pyro:
Now where were we? Oh, yes. Now that I'm free, I'm taking this little pet's place in this EVPW on the road show. Spreading my madness like a disease. Steve, Chloe. You try to stop me, you won't like what you'll find. I'm content on letting you soldiers live, but you're under new management. Should you choose not to follow my orders, you are free to leave. You try and stop what I'm going to do...
The joyful look on the Jester's face quickly becomes deadpan serious.
Pyro:
What happened to that construction worker will be the least of your concerns... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The camera cuts off as it hits the ground.
=======================================================
Rumlow rubs the bridge of his nose, the fear and anger he feels now that the Jester is loose again nearly binds him. Chloe is even worse for wear, having never witnessed the Jester like this, the reports she has read not doing the demon justice. Both sit in silence, contemplating what to do.
