As the scene opens, a voice can be heard coming from the cell of "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom...
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom Tora… Nishida…
Tora… Nishida…
Tora… Nishida…
He whispered the name over and over, rocking to and fro, arms clutches around his legs as he sat like a child. His head was tilted, eyes wide and fixed sideways towards the ceiling. He was wearing a custom made t-shirt that had a picture of a zombified Tora Nishida looking like he wants to rip someone's face off. Behind the cartoon zombie Tora was the big screen of a drive-in and a full moon beyond that. The text on the shirt read ‘Raiju of Sanatorium’ in 90’s alternative rock lettering.
The room, if it was a room at all, was dim, its only source of light coming from a lamp mounted on the wall above him. The wall itself was brick, and the floor concrete. He went normal, or what may qualify as being normal for Phantom, which was probably more like, less bizarre. He held a finger up as if he just had a sudden epiphany.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom You know… I don’t think anyone was surprised that people like you have found a way to get the victories over me in the past in the ring, including me. It’s what people like him do, isn’t it Tora? People like you find a way, it’s your mantra; it’s what has made you somewhat popular here. You've been successful with your refusal to lose… People like you are selfish with the spotlight, isn’t that right…
Tora… Nishida?
Well, do you?
Do you see?
Tora Nishida?
He chuckled. There was something different about Phantom less than was a month ago. He was evolving new characteristics every time he stood in front of a camera. He wasn’t the smelly kid running for King of the Monsters. He wasn’t the re-wired, re-programmed robot discovering his human form. He wasn’t the monster stalking the Final Boss. No. This time he was something else.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom I don’t think you do. Let me show you what I see, Tora. I see a man. I see a man who’s trying to find his place in an industry that’s passing him by. You’ve seen it before, haven’t you? But you never thought this would happen to you. You’ve always been relevant, in some way or another. I see a man. I see a man trying to cope with the realization that he may not have it anymore, desperately clutching the edge. I see a monster pleading to be released from the vessel that it’s trapped in. I see a monster trapped in a shell of a man. You’ve got all the potential to be what you really want to be, Tora Nishida what I see? We can help you become someone else, a better version of yourself.
He peered into the camera. He smiled, glancing down at the concrete floor, then back up.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom You know… People here, they used to think I didn’t get it. They used to think I was naive and that I didn’t belong here. Things have changed. People don’t overlook me anymore. People are cautioned when they meet me in the ring that they’re so proud to be competing in. I respect your kind of combat. When you look into the eyes of someone like Tora Nishida, they’re vacant of fear. They’re full of awareness. Tora Nishida, that is why people truly succeed.
Something scurried off camera, grabbing Phantom’s attention. He cranes his neck to look, wide-eyed. He glanced back at the camera and whispered.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom Gotta go. I’m not done with you, quite yet, Tora Nishida. Don’t you worry. You’ll be my toy, to torture and eventually truly destroy.
He winked and scurried away himself, leaving the camera alone, focused on the brick wall, illuminated only by the yellow lamp above. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then we see "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom over the body of an orderly in a nearby room not far from the training area. But as the camera zooms closer to see Phantom holding a wireless microphone and apparently also speaking with a Soulless One.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom What are your thoughts on Tora Nishida, my dear Soulless One?
Phantom is sitting on the floor. While a Soulless One rocked in his chair nearby and then an entirely different Soulless One sat on a stool next to the other one, and another Soulless One is seen snoozing in what looks like a hammock that is hanging between a series of hooks along the wall. Phantom looks up at the third Soulless One with amusement.
Soulless One #1 Is this what we’re doing now? Conforming to the most basic template that’s out there? I’m surprised at you.
The next Soulless One shrugged.
Soulless One #2 I just thought we could do something different.
The third Soulless One stared, shaking their head. Phantom shrugged again, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth.
Soulless One #3 Well, I don’t know. I can certainly say that I appreciate his seemingly violent nature.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom Uh huh. I second that. People like Tora Nishida apparently has quite the silver tongue as well, does he not?
The three Soulless Ones look on and nod their heads in agreement.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom He does. He’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but I certainly enjoy his presence. You know how he comes across to me? He comes across as a monster type. He lulls you into a delusion, on purpose. He pulls you further and further in, until the time is right, and then…
He made a hand motion and a snapping sound with his tongue and teeth. The first Soulless One smiled on with amusement, who leaned down and grabbed a glass of lemonade that was concealed by his chair. He took a sip and set it down.
Soulless One #1 Which reminds me of the current status between The Order of the Soulless and people like Tora Nishida. I’m really… Digging… What they’ve become. Tora, I never would have predicted someone like him would do what he does as of late. And to everyone else involved in the Sanatorium bracket of the Shogun, the shadow has dropped behind their eyes. They are now staring into the abyss that we love so much.
The second Soulless One chuckles a bit.
Soulless One #2 Apparently I don’t need this sock of marbles anymore…
He paused, looking out at the window across the way.
Soulless One #2 ”The Insanity" Aaron Jones… A fascinating moniker indeed, if not a little peculiar. Wouldn’t he be a nice fit in the Order, sir?
Soulless One #3 No.
The third Soulless One said it without so much as flinching in the hammock. The other two Soulless One glanced over at them. Then Phantom gets up and walks over to a nearby wall and stares at it.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom Someone of you think a lot of people would fit in well with us, my dear boy. Convincing someone to waltz into the darkest parts of their minds is a difficult task. Mainly, I think, because they fear what they see when they look into those unvisited, paranormal parts of their psyche. And even then, they don’t enjoy it. Not like we do… No… Not like we do.
He touched his chin with his index finger as he seemed to zone out, apparently to be staring at one particular brick in the wall. One of the other Soulless Ones only gaze at him, with a frozen grin on his face. It was like time was standing still. Finally, Phantom continued.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom I say we give some like this "The Insanity" Aaron Jones some time, before we start thinking about recruiting someone like him. There’s nothing wrong with respecting what violence he’s capable of dishing out, however.
He touched his chin again, gazing out into that same particular brick, eyes wide, like he was in a trance.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom Yes… I suppose that would be all right, wouldn’t it?
After a few moments, he snapped out of it once again. He sighed, looking up at the sky.
Soulless One #1 You speaking somewhat normal is really bizarre, sir.
The second Soulless One looked at the first Soulless One, who was already staring at him, both smiling.
Soulless One #2 I don’t like it. But I will follow the directions of "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" of The Order of The Soulless into the depths of Hell itself if it leads to everlasting Nirvana and Salvation with the Lords of Light and Darkness.
The third Soulless One lifted up from the hammock and grunted in agreement with the other two Soulless Ones. Then the third Soulless One nods, as they gaze into the that one particular brick again, apparently in the trance that Phantom was in. Then the three Soulless Ones disappear leaving only Phantom in the room now. Then he continues to stare the wall for a few moments before turning to face the camera that is located in the room.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom Tora Nishida... Even though you are my first opponent in the Shogun tourney, I am already scouting my other opposition that I have to face as well. "The Insanity" Aaron Jones intrigues me with his style and mentality. But in the end, no one can match my brand of craziness. Travis Levitt, you have returned to the W.W.H. and think that you can recur your previous successes. You are dead wrong. Elijah Copeland, simply put you are a whiny brat and maybe Dr. Sly should have finished the job. But when we face off, I will gladly do so. Ace Michaels, I have respect for you due to your journalistic integrity and knowledge. While you may have experience in the past, you have never fought someone like me. So be prepared for a KILLING! Giant Tiger, you are even simpler to determine. You have no shot against me due to my experience and my brutality. Abby Evans, I will be sorry to hurt you due to your "relationship" with my brother in arm, Chucky Ross. But even though you are pretty much family, I will have to hurt you. And lastly we have Levi Tsingine, the new kid on the block. While it seems like you have a lot of combat experience, you have not fought a monster like me. In the end, you all may think you have a shot at this but in the end you will all be on the end of the Satan's Spike.
Then he grabs something from off the floor and starts to toss it in the air.
"The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom Tora, you will be my first victim and then I will move onto the rest of the field. Then I will have the Sanatorium side of the Shogun bracket and fight to show that while people like me may be crazy, I can still be a top contender in any division.
Then he throws the item at the camera as the scene fades to static and then black.

The scene opens up right outside of a fine dining restaurant in Serenity, California. Tora Nishida was sitting at a table in the far right corner of the restaurant with two empty seats. He had a glass of Zinfandel red wine on the upper left side of his plate with a napkin below it. There was a juicy seasoning steak right on the plate in front of him. He was using a fork and knife to cut the steak into small pieces as he took a bite before taking a nice sip of his wine. Compared to the food served at the sanatorium, this was like heaven to the Japanese wrestler. Especially with what happened to him on the last sanatorium show and what he saw before his match against Mya Denton. His thoughts were soon interrupted by two people he was waiting for to show up after he made a phone call after the show. However, the camera switches to facing Nishida with the two men's back facing the camera as they sat down.
Tora Nishida
I was worried that you wouldn't show up.
Mystery Man #1
Of course we would show up, it's been quite a while since we saw each other.
Mystery Man #2
Yeah, so why exactly did you call us?
Nishida picks up the napkin as he dabs his lips with the napkin before placing it on his lap.
Tora Nishida
Recently I've been having some trouble with two individuals that are starting to become a thorn in my side. I refused to give them a shot at my...title and you know how they reacted? They had a disgusting mud show match before mine and had the nerve to attack me after my match with God damn kendo stick!!
Because of them, i have kendo stick marks all over my back and i can barely even sleep on my bed without wincing in pain. Worst of all, i keep getting constant headaches from time to time. Do you know how painful it is to be hit repeatedly by a kendo stick over and over on your back and head!?!?
Nishida nearly shouted as he banged his hand down on the table. Causing it to shake from the impact and nearly made his glass of Zinfandel red wine spill.
Mystery Man #1
Woah woah, calm down man. We get it, you're pissed off at those two pendejos for attacking you. You can't let them get into your head or else you'll let them win.
Nishida slowly takes his hand off the table as he relaxes a bit. He lets out a sigh as he grabs the glass of wine and takes another sip.
Tora Nishida
Your right, I can't let those idiots get to me. I have worked too hard to have a bunch of outlaw mud show wrestlers get under my skin and demand a shot at my championship when they haven't even earned the right to face me for it. Right now, i need to focus on winning the Shogun tournament, but I have a feeling that both of them might try something throughout the tournament.
Mystery Man #2
I'm guessing this is where we come in.
Tora Nishida
Exactly, those two had the numbers advantage against me for the past two sanatorium shows. Now it's time to have a little bit of payback and show them that I'm someone you shouldn't mess with.
A waiter would soon arrive with two glasses of red wine for the two mystery men. He sets the two glasses down for both men before taking his leave. Nishida raises his glass of wine up in the air as he looks at the two men.
Tora Nishida
So gentlemen, will you help me?
The two mystery men stay silent for a few moments before they both grab their glass of red wine.
Mystery Man #1 & #2
Of course!
Tora Nishida
Well gentlemen, a toast to a new beginning
The two mystery men raise their glasses as the three glasses of red wine clink against each other as the scene fades to black. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tora Nishida
At the 2019 Shogun Tournament, I represented my country of Japan and failed to make it to the semi-finals and win the whole thing. Now I have an opportunity to walk away the winner of this year's Shogun Tournament. However, it's not going to be an easy task to do since my first opponent in the tournament is none other than "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" Phantom.
There's no secret what kind of a man-no, what kind of a monster Phantom is. Phantom only cares about causing mayhem and leaving a path of destruction in his wake, not giving a damn about the trail of bodies he leaves behind him. However, even though he's a monstrous powerhouse, he has a love for...hardcore.
Nishida said the word "hardcore" with a disgust time in his voice.
Tora Nishida
You would think that a guy who calls himself "The Unstoppable Killing Machine" wouldn't even need to use weapons or resort to dirty tactics like hitting his opponents with low blows or poking them in the eye. I mean, why would a monster like him resort to such things...unless he's not a monster or an Unstoppable Killing Machine. Just a poor man with voices in his head hanging out with the crowd type of people.
Don't worry Phantom, unlike your so called 'friends', i'm actually going to help you. As the last champion in sanatorium and it's savior, it's my job to help those that need it and cleanse them of their hardcore ways. At sanatorium, I'm going to do just that for you. I am going to cleanse you of your dirty tactics and hardcore ways and make you into a true monster, a true unstoppable killing machine that no one has ever seen in WWH history.
Once i have cleansed you of the hardcore filth, all i ask in return is for you to pledge yourself to me and my cause. Unlike the Order of the Soulless, I can help you achieve singles gold. A man such as yourself deserves better than having the WWH World Tag Team titles as the only accomplishment here in WWH. A man such as yourself deserves to be wild and free, not led to ring like some wild animal. A man such as yourself…deserves better. I can help you and even your soulless one friends, and all you have to do is look me in the eyes when I ask you this: will you join me into making the sanatorium better or will you try to defy me?
