Chloe "Skie" Reinhardt and Captain Steve Rumlow can be seen walking down a lonely road, seemingly untouched for a very long time. The two soldiers walk carefully as the previously seen Asylum raises above the horizon. the body of the construction worker still hanging, partially eaten by scavenger birds. Chloe looks to Rumlow, some concern beginning to show, though Rumlow's stony gaze gives her some assurance that this will work. They make their way in through the entrance, the decaying building still seemingly holding the poor souls once locked up inside.
Rumlow:
We should never have joined up with that psychotic freak, it was a mistake from the start. We knew what he was like, we knew the heinous things he has done. It was just a matter of time before he lost it again, and this time he brought one of us with him into his madness.
Chloe:
How were we supposed to know? It's not like he made it easy to tell when he'd flip. Shadow knew what we were getting ourselves into, he even volunteered to see if what we were told was true.
Rumlow looks through a door way, hand on his hip where a combat knife is resting.
Rumlow:
We may have walked into it...
Rumlow is cut off by a laughter that seems to surround the two "normal" members of Project Rebirth. Rumlow and Reinhardt spin around, trying to track the source of the maniacal laughter.
Pyro:
How cute. My last two little black sheep have come to play. You know, I expected much more from you two, but I guess I overestimated you.
Rumlow:
Listen here you sick freak, I'll end you for what you've done. You destroyed Project Rebirth for your selfishness, and you have dragged Agent Shadow down with you into that rabbit hole you call a mind.
Pyro:
Dragged Agent Shadow down with me? No, no, no, my dear friend. I didn't do anything he wasn't ready to do. He wanted what I had to offer. Sure, there might have been a few shocks and some drugs to wake up what he was, but nonetheless, here we are. You know, what you're doing is tantamount to trespassing. How ever shall we remedy this little situation?
Chloe and Rumlow split up, believing to have found the source.
Rumlow:
Listen here, clown. You return Shadow to us, and we'll leave. You won't ever see our faces again, and we'll be damned sure never to see yours/
Pyro:
HAHA! You want to play hide and seek. And kidnapping an individual?! Surely you jest. I mean, I may have done one or two kidnapping in my day, but what makes you think I did it this time?
Chloe:
That video you sent us, Shadow all tied up. You tortured him till he became like you!
Pyro:
That is just so adorable. You think he was tied to that chair against his will? That was just to make sure I didn't get hurt during his... Awakening! HAHA! I mean, how else do you think I keep this beautiful smile all in one piece? HA! One down, one to go now.
Out of the darkness, something grabs Chloe, who lets out a scream before her mouth is covered.
Rumlow:
Let her go, freak. What the hell is the matter with you? We were loyal soldiers! You didn't need to do what you've done. You crossed the line, and now we want out.
Pyro:
You never understood. Your pride and ego never let you see past yourself. You were weak, all of you. Weak and pathetic! Shadow came to me, ashamed of his loss. Wanted to be made stronger, and he has! Now he is Toxin, now he is better. It showed last week, beating Kryptops. Moving into this final show on top. Tell me, what do you expect me to do? Let him go with you? You, who never amounted to much in your pathetic little life?
Pyro appears, over Rumlow from a gaping hole in the floor above. The Dark Jester laughing through his paint-smeared smile.
Pyro:
He tried, the "nice" side of me, the great hero. It didn't work. It never worked. Look at his history, I've been stronger in my madness than suppressing it. Now Agent Toxin sees it as well, and he chose. He's always been free to do what he wants.
Pyro quickly ducks back into the shadows, begging Captain Rumlow to chase him. Quickly making his way up the stairs, he is stopped dead in his tracks by an endless amount of dead bodies hanging from the roof, as if in a butcher shop.
Pyro:
For a Captain, you sure do run headlong into situations. I'm surprised you never made it out of bootcamp with how fool-hearty you act. You've stepped into my world. You come down the rabbit hole without an idea of what you will see. Now here we are, me in my home, you running around like you've lost your head. Poor little Chloe is somewhere around here. In my hands, and it's up to you to find her. But you've got a choice. Join me, join my crusade. Be the agent of change we set out to be and you can have Chloe back in your arms. Or don't, fight me, fight Toxin and lose everything you've ever fought for.
Rumlow:
Not a chance in hell will I side with your madness. You don't want to see EVPW restored, you'd destroy it the first chance you get!
Pyro:
Just like the phoenix builds a nest, it's own deathbed, only to rise again! Younger! Stronger! That is what I am trying to achieve, but have never had the chance because every time I tried to be the hero! Every time I failed! Now I know what needs to be done, and I will build an army that will allow me to do so! But not an army of heroes, it will never work. An army of villains, those who aren't afraid to do what is necessary to bring this place back to what it used to! I will bathe this company in blood and fire, with Agent Toxin at my side. You can either join us, or perish in the coming storm!
Rumlow:
Like I told you, there is not a chance in hell I'll help you! I have no interest in EVPW's rebirth if it means you in control. It's not worth it.
With that, Pyro steps out from behind Rumlow. The Dark Jester holds his hand up, which pauses any type of motion from the Captain. The Jester points behind Rumlow, who turns to see Agent Toxin with a tied and gagged Reinhardt knelt down in front of him.
Pyro:
It's a really easy choice from here Rumlow. You come with us, and you both... Well... Maybe you'll both survive the experience. Or don't, and you most certainly will not be leaving here alive. So, which is it. Possible life, or certain death?
Rumlow stands his ground, looking back and forth between Agent Toxin, Chloe Reinhardt, and Chris Pyro.
Rumlow:
What happened to just wrestling? When did that not become enough to create a revolution here, huh? Isn't that the business we got into was meant to be for?!
Pyro laughs as he slowly approaches his former ally.
Pyro:
It was never enough, not when they let the monsters loose. EVPW has always been a blight, and infection in this industry. Nicholas Carson, Metal Dragon, Vladimir Strife. These men were monsters, and to compete with them, you had to become monsters. EVPW became not a wrestling company, but a true house of horrors. I am just reminding these people of that little fact. Those big monsters may have left, but I'm still here. I may not be in this match at the final event, but Agent Toxin is, and he has promised to reap absolute carnage across the landscape, to such a degree that no one who sees EVPW's name will never be able to forget what Toxin did. Now it's decision time. You with us, or against us?
Rumlow still glares at his leader, frustrated at his situation.
Rumlow:
This is between me and you. Leave Chloe out of this...
The Dark Jester quickly grabs the throat of Rumlow, driving him hard into the wall behind him. The Captain comes nearly face to face with a dead body above him.
Pyro:
I don't remember saying it'd be one or the other. You speak for both of you. There is no leaving here. There is no getting out of this unscathed. How alive you are when you leave that front door is up to you. I know your story, you have no where else to go. You fight alongside me, you have a home. You have a place to belong, that is accepting. Look what I did for Toxin over there? I woke him up, and he is all the better for it. Now it's your choice.
Rumlow defiantly spits in the Jesters face. Pyro takes a moment and tastes the spit before looking into the eyes of the man he holds by the throat.
Pyro:
That was strangely pleasent. Not it's my turn.
The shot quickly changes to Chloe, whose face turns to shock and horror as the screams of Rumlow can be heard mixed in with the maniacal laughter of the Jester. Several moments pass, and Chloe begins weeping at what she sees as the screams slowly begin to grow quieter, before disappearing completely. The sound of a knife flipping open can be heard as a few more moments pass. Then a blood soaked Dark Jester arrives on the scene and kneels down in front of his former intelligence officer. Chloe turns her head, tears streaming down her face, horrified by what she had just witnessed.
Pyro:
He didn't leave me much of a choice. I did what needed to be done. Now it's your choice. Will you join your Captain friend over there, or like our Agent Toxin. What will it be?
Chloe tries to look away from the demented Goblin in front of her, but Toxin forces her face back forward, making sure she sees her fate. She slowly nods in acceptance of the Dark Jester's offer.
Pyro:
Good. Good.
Pyro lifts his gaze to his Lethal Protector, nodding his head.
Pyro:
Take her to the chamber. I'll be there shortly. Hurry back, I have some trash for you to take out.
Agent Toxin follows his orders, dragging Chloe away. Pyro turns back to the bloody form of Rumlow, kicking his foot, rousing the bloody human carcass.
Pyro:
Wake up you pathetic waste. You're not dead, though over the next few days, you will wish you were. You see, I stabbed you in just the right places to make sure you live in agony for every minute of your miserable life. You'll remember, with every step, that you had the choice to survive, to live in little pain, while causing this pain to the world. Now suffer.
Agent Toxin steps up and grabs the soldier by the neck of his uniform top, dragging the bloody corpse away as the cameras fade.
