#There ain't no grave can hold my body down
A soft, haunting melody plays over a black and white video of footsteps walking through the ashes of an old throne room. After a few steps, the figure bends down to pick something up, a piece of parchment paper buried in the ash, An over the shoulder shot from behind the figure shows the paper to have the marking of a black palm, with the words “We Know.”
A soft chuckle, and the paper is crumpled into a ball and tossed away, it’s now we get a shot of the face of Vincent Lyons Jr, the Affliction Championship draped across his shoulder.
Vincent: If I didn’t know better I’d think The Dark Brotherhood was trying to recruit me form Skyrim for putting an end to Havoc. But this is no game is it Sah’Ta Thor? You really do think The Left Hand has a chance to spread it’s plague across WWH. Did you not see the past year with Havoc? I suppose every good act needs it’s sequel doesn’t it? But as we know, the sequel is never as good as the original.Vincent holds some of the ash in his hands, and watches as it falls through his fingers.
Vincent: Now Havoc is scrambling, trying to salvage whatever he has left of his little kingdom. It was a long hard road, and he beat me more times than I beat him. It the end however, It was me who was victorious and as the old saying goes, “they’ll only remember how it ended.”Vincent looks at the championship on his shoulder proudly.
Vincent: He almost broke me. Had me nearly ready to take a sabbatical. I’m glad that didn’t happen because now I stand before you Thor, to let you know that now I DO see The Left Hand’s threat, and it doesn’t impress me. You truly are just the Kylo Ren to Havocs Darth Vader. Why...why is there always some group like this so damn always?Vincent growls slightly, scoffing.
Vincent: You know what I mean. These lost souls led by some dude with a Jim Jones complex, who make themselves appear all dark and mysterious. Sometimes they even throw in references Greek or Roman mythology in their promos to make themselves appear edgy or smarter than everyone else. But that’s all it is, an act.
We get a closeup show of Vincent, and his half-painted face.
Vincent: I paint half my face, but I am not an act. I understand Imperium, Left Hand...or whatever we’re supposed to call you is supposed to be some sort of guardians of balance. I need to understand me Thor. I am the true guardian of balance in WWH. The paint on my face represents that balance. I know that no person is truly good, nor are they truly evil. Only when we are able to keep a balance within ourselves do we truly begin to find an understanding of who we are. When I look at you and the actions committed on Dystopia all I see is evil. I do not see balance. I see a group of cowards attacking and innocent woman, and allowing invaders from a rival company to breach our shores.We get a flash of part of Vincent's painted face where the initials XWF are crossed out.
Vincent: I don’t know or care what happens over in XWF, but if they want to come to WWH, I just hope they know that The Revolutionaries will be ready. We’ll be ready to defend OUR company. I understand you guys want to be part of the better company and be on the better program, but there’s better ways to go about it. What happened to Ms. Ambrose was simply pathetic.Vincent scowls, it’s clear the thought of Angelica having her hand carved disgusts him.
Vincent: Sah’Ta. How much of a threat to me are you really? I seem to recall my sister got her first victory over you during Shogun. You can make excused for that all you want but you still lost. Victoria is still in her rookie year, if you couldn’t even beat her do you really think you can beat her more successful brother? The Left Hand is going to crumble faster than Ashes of The Wake did. I don’t need to make up a championship either, I have a real one right here.
He pats the belt slung over his left shoulder.
Vincent: After a year of ups and downs, I am back on top as a champion once again. I’m not going to let just anyone waltz into this company and lay any sort of threat. As one of it’s champions, it’s my job to be on the frontline and fight off any threat to our company. I am not a man who goes down easy. I’ll keep coming back, keep fighting until justice is restored. If Havoc tries to rise again, he’ll be sent back down as well. Vincent keeps the same usual look of intensity on his face
Vincent: You know, if I offended you on Bloodworks, I do apologize. But I won’t apologize for is the ass kicking I’ll be giving you at War of Attrition. Its what you, Anderson and the rest of the Left Hand deserve. Your quite simply going to learn that you’ll have to put an end to The Revolutionaries if you really want to achieve your dark mission.Vincent holds up a fist, as The Revolutionaries have been known to do.
Vincent: Viva Revolution. The very words we live by. Fighting injustice is something you all would never understand. It’s really easy to be angry and bitter and make threats of destruction. But to be the voice that says NO. To be the voice that speaks and takes a stand against it makes the mark of a bigger and better person. Vincent pauses again, taking a short breath.
Vincent: What do you do against someone who keeps coming? You throw everything you have at them. Do you have it in you Thor to truly go the distance? I know I can. I hope those years are catching up to you, while I’m still young and have years ahead of me. You truly picked the wrong battle to start Thor, and now it’s time you learned your lesson. JUst remember to….BE PREPARED.The camera stays focused on Vincent's face for a few lingering moments before fading to black, as the music plays us off.
