**--The scene opens up in a rally-type of scenario. A mass of humanity listening to a speaker address everyone from a stage. We have people from all origins, races, religions and creeds standing and listening to one person speak about the inequalities and discriminations that are still ravaging this planet. The camera microphones can start picking up who the speaker is after the crowd gives a huge pop…Jonny Cedrone!--**
“And who will stand with me in this fight for unity, in this fight for peace, in this fight for equality all around the world?!”
**--Another huge pop from the audience--**
“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, as YOUR Champion, as the Champion of the People ALL over the World, I will not rest until there is no more racial divide! I will not rest until there is no more religious divide! I will not rest until all of my brothers and sisters are considered by only one race, the Human Race, and are treated with respect!”
**--The camera finally finds Jonny who’s standing on the stage with microphone in hand and Gloria by his side with the International Championship cradled in her hands, each wearing jeans and t-shirts.--**
“For too long has judgment been passed down from those who think that they’re better than anyone else, and I say ‘No more!’ We were ALL created equal and it’s high-time that everyone sees that!”
**--Another pop from the crowd--**
“I think that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr would be rolling over in his grave if he knew what was going on in this world right now. There are a few lines from his I Have a Dream speech that have been on my heart and have been jumping out at me a lot recently.”
“‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ At first glance or first sound of that statement, it makes sense right? If you fight darkness with darkness it can only get darker. If you fight hate with hate it only breeds more hate. As I said on the last episode of Dystopia, what this wretched world needs now more than ever is sweet love!”
“That quote kind of leads me right into this next quote: ‘Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ Nothing fills the heart with more love and more joy than doing something for others and doing it without the expectation of something in return. Neighbors reaching out their helping hands to help their fellow neighbors! Family helping other family members get back on their feet! Brothers and sisters being there for one another! And when I say brothers and sisters, I don’t necessarily mean biologically. I'm here to tell you that we are all brothers and sisters!”
**--A big pop from the crowd--**
“We were all made from the same cloth! No matter where you’re from, what race you are, what religion you are, what gender you are, or what your sexual preference is…we ALL bleed the same color!”
**--Another big pop--**
“If you cut me, do I not bleed red? When you bleed, is it not red? And how about you?”
**--Cedrone pauses to let the message sink in--**
“Now, I’m no scientist and biology wasn’t really my thing in high school, but I’m pretty sure that no matter your financial status, no matter your creed, religion, race…everything else…everything on the inside looks the same. When we were all born, we didn’t know that we were different. Nobody knows hate when they’re born. Hate is taught.”
“‘We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.’ Another wise person once said, ‘Life sucks and then you die’ which is sad but true. What jumps out at me about both of those statements is the fact that no matter who you are, you’re going to encounter disappointment. Just look at the world right now. It’s a big mess of disappointment, whether you’re talking about civil rights, human rights or the environment…anything really. I look at this world and I just have to say, ‘Really?! I know we can do a lot better than this people!’ The human race has become its own worst enemy and it’s also become the earth’s worst enemy. But just because there’s so much disappointment in the world, just because there are so much injustice in this world, just because there’s so much wrong in the world, we canNOT lose hope in the fact that we can fix everything that’s wrong! We canNOT lose hope in the fact that we can out-love the hatred in this world and make it a better place! Our future generations are depending on us! Our future generations can only benefit from everything that we can and will do to reverse course on this path that this world has taken!”
**--The crowd gives another pop--**
“Brothers and sisters, if you are within the sound of my voice, I’m reaching out to each and every one of ya! Just reach out and take my hand and together we can fight the good fight! Together we WILL move this world in the right direction! Together we WILL win the fight against injustice! Together we will win the fight against the corrupt! Together we will make a difference!! Thank you and I love each and every one of you!!”
**--The crowd gives a huge, very boisterous ovation for the International Champion! He and Gloria cheer along with the crowd before exiting, stage-left. Once off stage, Gloria makes her way away from the stage with the International Championship still in her possession, Jonny takes a turn and goes through the crowd. The camera zooms out and we see where Gloria is heading; she’s heading in the direction of the World Wrestling Headquarters interviewer, Kaitlyn Monroe! Both women sport huge grins as they meet each other--**
“Hi Miss Gloria! How are you doing?!”
“I’m good! How’ve you been?! It’s been a while!”
“Too long!! I’ve been good! Looks like you’ve been doing well! How excited are you that Jonny’s the International Champion?!”
“I’m pretty excited actually! Anyone that knows Jonny knows that for what he wants the International Championship to stand for, there’s nobody better suited for it than him. There’s so much love in that big, beautiful, golden heart of his.”
“I have to admit Miss Gloria, his love, his desire, his passion are all very infectious!”
“The entire world could stand a whole lot more people like him, that’s for sure!”
**--The two women look on as we see Jonny make his way out of the crowd giving hugs, shaking hands, signing autographs, talking to anyone that needs to talk along the way, doing his best to make each individual feel that they’re the most important person out there in that moment in time. He’s finally able to make it out of the crowd and head over to Gloria and Kaitlyn who are both patiently waiting for him. He’s met with big smiles and a big hug and kiss from Gloria. He picks her up off the ground in the embrace then puts her back down. He turns his attention to Kaitlyn.--**
“Well hi Kaitlyn! How are ya?!”
“I’m good Jonny! How are you?!”
**--Jonny wraps his right arm around Gloria – between her shoulder blades to the small of her back and rests his hand on her right hip. She returns the gesture in kind wrapping her left arm around his waist with a tight squeeze.--**
“Never better Kaitlyn!”
“What a riveting rally you had today!”
“Thank you!”
“I really adore and appreciate the fact that you make it your priority to address the ailments of – not only the country – but society as a whole, all across the globe! If anyone can unify the world, I think it could definitely be you.”
“Well thank you. I hope so, but don’t think that I’m a fool or anything because I know that not everyone is on the same page. I know that not everyone sees this vision that I have. I know that not everyone will join me in this fight for what’s right. I know that, and I know this is going to be controversial but, I also feel that it’s okay that they don’t. If they’re that ignorant, if they’re that blind, if they’re that close-minded to not see the benefits of being one, to not see the purpose of this fight, then there’s not enough words in any dictionary in any part of the world to get them onboard. I just don’t think they’re in the right place. Despite all that, I still love them. I still want what’s best for them. I still want them to be happy, some of them may not know what happiness is, but I still want them to be happy. That’s what I’m all about. Happiness. Love…I’m starting to sound like a flower child from the 60s!”
**--All three share a laugh--**
“With all that said Jonny, you have a match coming up at Dystopia.”
“You’re right about that! And what a match – what a fight I’m in for huh?”
“At DreamState Chris put up a good fight against your friend, Vincent Lyons Jr but it was Vincent Lyons Jr who got the win. You think you have what it takes to get the win just like your friend did?”
“We all know that Chris Matthews is a fantastic athlete and a formidable opponent. There’s no denying that fact whatsoever. But do you remember why Mr. Lyons wanted that match so mad at DreamState Kaitlyn?”
“Because Chris Matthews eliminated Vincent Lyons Jr from the War of Attrition battle royal and cost him a title shot.”
“Exactly. Chris Matthews had a way of stepping on a lot of people’s dreams that night didn’t he? Because ya see, Mr. Lyons wasn’t the only one who Mr. Matthews eliminated from the battle royal. He found me in a vulnerable position and eliminated my other shot at catapulting to the top that night.”
“But ya know what? I really wouldn’t consider myself mad at that. In all honesty, that is the name of the game. You do what you have to do and eliminate who you have to eliminate to try to win the match and make your own dreams come true and make your way to DreamState. The irony in all that is that through all of the dream crushing that Chris Matthews did that night – he too got his hopes and dreams dashed into a million pieces, didn’t he? He didn’t win the match himself did he?”
“No. You know why? Because it wasn’t his fate. It wasn’t his destiny. Matthews did make it to DreamState, but it was to be the victim of Mr. Lyons’s revenge. This episode of Dystopia? Kaitlyn…Mr. Matthews’s fate, his destiny will be no different than that he suffered at DreamState. Sure, at DreamState I got revenge on one of the two people that denied me at War of Attrition. At DreamState I won the International Championship from Jacoby Spencer, one of the toughest fighters I’ve ever fought against in my career! And if I can stand toe-to-toe with Jacoby Spencer and wrestle away one of the most important things in his life, then I can take on the entire world.”
“Like I said, Mr. Matthews is one hell of an athlete! Without a doubt, he’s one of the best this company has to offer, but with the momentum that I’m feeling at this moment, with this sense of success that I’m feeling right now, I almost feel ten feet tall and bulletproof to be honest Kaitlyn. At Dystopia, I'm gonna get revenge on the other person that denied me at War of Attrition!”
“Wow! I’m hearing a resounding sense of confidence Jonny! Did your winning of the International Championship boost your level of confidence?!”
“Absolutely Kaitlyn! I don’t mean to sound cocky. In this line of business there’s a fine line between confidence and ego, but in all honesty if you don’t have at least a little bit of an ego, then you probably won’t make it far. In my career, I’ve had my shares of ups and downs and right now I’m riding a wave of high spots that I want to ride all the way to the end. The next spot is getting the win and revenge over Chris Matthews for War of Attrition, and with all of my fans, with everyone in the world behind me to help me along the way, this wave that I’m riding – that we’re riding – will last for a very long time Kaitlyn!!”
“I’m certainly looking forward to watching the match-up!”
“Thank you so much! I would be remiss if I didn’t say that I’m looking forward to wrestling Mr. Matthews myself. I believe this is the first time that we’ve faced each other, other than in War of Attrition, so I’m looking forward to seeing what he has to offer. To him, I guess I’m still just some ‘noob’ that has wandered into ‘his’ company and is trying to take over because I ‘don’t deserve’ all of the success that I’ve been experiencing. I get that. If I had been in a company for a while and had somebody come in and bypass me and slingshot to the top, I’d probably be a little defensive and protective myself. But in the end, I’ve shown him and I’ve shown the rest of the roster that I deserve to be here, I deserve to be among the elite here in World Wrestling Headquarters and more importantly I’ve earned it. And at Dystopia…I look forward to facing him and proving it to him firsthand that I’ve earned my spot here!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PROLOGUE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
… … … … …
You know, I always thought I would be stuck inside of the nuthouse. But I have to say that it feels good to be out of there. Now I can move on to something better.
Funny, isn’t it? When I was sent there I was going to be nothing more than an inmate looking to fight his way out of everything. But it felt like years of torture going through my soul. I spent two years inside of that place and felt the brutality that came with it.
When I finally got those release papers, I knew I made it. Now I never have to go back to the hole where the food tastes like it's expired. After all the things that have happened, I can move on with Mellie and we can finally get back to everything that matters.
I can finally say that I can get something interesting to happen, that is when I get the chance to face someone like Jonny Cedrone. He is the current International champion and that is something that I never had a chance to have. Jonny is a fighter and I love it when I get a chance to get in the ring with a fighter like him. I always felt like there is something special about Jonny, and I would be right.
But Jonny, when Dystopia comes around you’re gonna be in for a fight of your life and I know that better than anyone. Jonny, when I left that Sanatorium I knew that my time towards Dystopia is going to be a lot tougher and I welcome the challenge that’s gonna be in front of me. You’re an international champion for a reason and I know deep down you want all kinds of challenges coming your way and looks like I’m that next challenge. Now, don’t get me wrong, you’re as good as you say you are but there something you need to learn, Jonny. I ain’t just anyone in that ring...Nah, I’m much more than that.
But Jonny, I’m gonna show you what happens when you step in the ring with me. You know me and you know just how far I’ll go to win. When I get my first back right on Dystopia, it's going to be one to remember. This will be remembered as the time where Chris Matthews moves on from that hole into something brighter. If you thought you knew Chris Matthews, then you better strap yourself in I’m gonna show you what I’m gonna do.
… … … … …
================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scene 1 » Lift you up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Dystopia is coming a lot quicker than Chris ever expected. But he knows that he needs to get ready for it. His first match back on the main brand is going to be something that he has dreamed of. After getting out of that hole of the Sanatorium, he knew that wrestlers on Dystopia would be tougher than the inmates of the Asylum. But even then, they were as tough as nails. This match against Jonny is going to be something new that and he knew that he needed to be ready for whatever is to come. So, Chris is seen wearing a gray sleeveless shirt, black shorts, and black sneakers on his feet. He is seen outside of the gyms resting on the beach right next to his girl, Pandora. Who is wearing a sleeveless Chris Matthews shirt, booty shorts, and black and purple sneakers on her feet.*
*Deep in the back of his mind Chris was nervous about the upcoming fight. He knew that Dystopia is a going to be a whole new playground and needs to roll with the punches. The inmates at the Sanatorium are tough but now he’s out and the wrestlers for Dystopia a whole new ballgame. If Chris wants to be successful for his new role then he needs to make sure that he leaves something to be remembered.*
PANDORA ✪ BARRETT “Chris, I think we need to talk about something?”
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Can't it wait? I need to focus on this match against Jonny.”
PANDORA ✪ BARRETT “Which is why we need to talk. This is your first match back and you're facing tougher competition. I just want to make sure they made the right move of getting you out of that Sanatorium.”CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Babe, listen, you know how long I wanted to get out of that hole? For a very long time. I just couldn't stand being inside that place. That place? That place was hell. But honestly can’t think about that right now as I need to keep my mind focus on the task at hand that’s Jonny. I have all the respect in the world for Jonny and what he has done so far. He has won the title that he has been chasing for so long and now he gots it. But when he realized that I want something I ain’t gonna stop until I get it. That title that he has - I want it. I want it more than I ever thought. When I see him having that belt, I know that I need to do something and find a way to beat him and take away his little momentum.”PANDORA ✪ BARRETT“ Don't get so cocky now, Chris! Since joining he has shown something that I never have seen before. I don't want you thinking that you have this in the bag because if you do, then you're gonna fall hard.” CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “I ain't gonna doubt anything about Jonny. I know that he's shown that he belongs here in the WWH. But if you remember, I eliminated him from the War of Attrition battle royal. And it was that nights where I destroyed the hopes and dreams of some of the superstars in the ring.”PANDORA ✪ BARRETT“ Yeah? Well, you need to remember that you lost to Vincent at DreamState. That night, it killed me to see you fall against him.” *Chris lets out a grunting sound. That night was something that I was hoping to forget but he knows deep down that he can't and the record books will say that Chris lost to Vincent at WWH biggest stage.* CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “That night I want to forget...but I know I can't. It going to weigh on me for the rest of my life. But that ain't going to weigh let it take my mind of this match. When I get my hands on Vincent, I'm going to put my hands around his neck and choke him.”PANDORA ✪ BARRETT“ CHRIS, FORGET HIM! I want you to focus on Jonny. I mean it, I don't want you thinking about anything other than this match.” CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Kinda hard to forget when he ruined my life. I need to get my hands back on him and hurt him.”*Mellie could tell how upset he is about what happened at Dreamstate. So she goes and puts her hands on his cheek and kisses his lips gently and breaks it. Her orbs look into his.* PANDORA ✪ BARRETT“ Listen, I love you, Chris. Just please, don't go down that path again. I want you to be the man that I fell in love with. So, please just don't do anything that you'll regret. I want a good man that I'm gonna marry and the father for our children. You and I have gone through so much that nobody would dream of. I want to make sure that you have everything that you could ever want.” CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Listen, I won't ever be that man that I once way, okay? I've learned from that past that being a dick isn't the way to go, and I know that. But at the same time, I know I'm an asshole, but I don't care about that.”*She giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She couldn't stop looking into his eyes and getting lost in them.* PANDORA ✪ BARRETT“ Yeah, but your my asshole and i adore you for it.” CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Really? Do you think I should be an asshole to Jonny in my promo?”PANDORA ✪ BARRETT“ That's not up to me, Chris. That is all on you on how you want to act in front of the camera. Truth be told, I wouldn't care either way. Because I know it's not about the words you speak in front of the camera as it more about the skills in that ring.” CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Listen, why don't we get to the workout and we'll order in for supper. Which we do anyways since your cooking skills sucks.”PANDORA ✪ BARRETT“ Asshole!” CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “I know I am.”================================ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scene 2 » Rise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*The scene comes up on the beach next to the ocean. It was bright outside and with the waves crashing the sand. Chris Matthews is seen sitting down next to a palm tree. He's wearing a black dress shirt with a few buttons unbuttoned, black and white loose-fitting shorts, black tinted shades, and some crocs on his feet. One of his legs is resting on the sand while the other is raised against his chest. His eyes are looking at the waves of the ocean and he takes a moment to reflect on everything that is going on in his life.*
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “The ocean seems like a nice place to take a moment and reflect on everything that is going on right now. The beach was always the place I felt the most comfortable at. Back in Grand Rapids, there was never a time I wouldn't want to go to the beach. It was like a world that could be once forgotten, but not for me. I could never forget all the times I went to one. This place is the one place I could come to and get rid of all the BS that is going on in the world and on twitter.”
*He turns his head towards the camera as he kept one knee up next his chest. Chris has a lot to think about and what it means to come back to the Dystopia.*
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “What can I say, Jonny? My first match back on Dystopia has a lot of people buzzing on Social Media and the news. Chris Matthews vs Jonny Cedrone! Oh man, what can I say, Jonny? I love the feeling of fighting someone like you of your skills. I always told myself that I wanted to face the best competition that WWH has to offer and they delivered. Honestly, I'm excited about this matchup because Iknow you're one tough cookie to crack. I can say that facing you is going to make everything for me perfect. Why? Because of my first match back, I'm facing you, who is the current International Champion. Do you want to know why I'm excited Jonny? Huh?”
*He softly and gently touched his chest with an open palm and taps it ever so gently.*
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “I'm excited because I know that beating you is going to skyrocket me to the top where I so rightfully belong. It's going to show the entire world that Chris Matthews is as good as he always says he is. The people, the staff, the bloggers on the internet are gonna see Chris Matthews take on Jonny Cedrone in one of the best matches that WWH has ever seen.”
*He slowly stands up as the sand covered his knee and some of it falls off of him and hitting the ground again.*
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Now, don't get me wrong, Jonny. You're awesome in that ring. I believe that you'll go far. You're the international champion, Jonny and that says something. You know, a lot of great people held that title. Honestly, that is one of the titles that I never held, and trust me, you and I will fight for that title one day. But right now, there is nothing that I can do as this is a non-title match. But the question is, what happens if I beat you? Huh? Does that make me the number one contender because I beat you? I would say that is the case but I ain't the one running this company now am I? Jonny, like a phoenix, I shall rise to whatever comes my way. I have always shown the world that Chris Matthews is at the top of his game.”
*He takes off his shades and lets them hang on his shirt. His eyes beam on the camera and crossed his arms over his chest.*
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “I suffered so much inside that sanatorium, Jonny. There were times where I questioned my Sanity and wondered if I belonged there. But through all the chaos and madness, I kept myself from going crazy like the rest of the inmates. After Eden gave me the papers of my release, I knew it was time to step up my game. I know exactly how tough the wrestlers are on the Dystopia brand. When I was told who I was going to face, I knew it was time to step up my game. The best part about all of this is that I'm not gonna do it alone. I'm going to have Pandora with me by my side to make sure nothing funny happens in the match.”
*He walked towards the camera as the camera moves back. Chris continued to walk forward and moved to the side. He went next to a bar and leans his back against it.*
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Dystopia where I'm going to make my impact. The wrestlers, the management, the staff, the fans, and everyone else will see that Chris Matthews can take on the best competition and not fail. But I think you know a lot about failing, right Jonny?” *He chuckled and gave a half-hearted smirk on his face.*
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “Battle of Attrition is where you failed when I threw your ass over the top rope. Dystopia is going to be the place where you'll fail once again. I'm going to enjoy hurting you and breaking you down into tiny little pieces. At Dystopia, the world is going to see the great Jonny Cedrone fall and once again see the great Chris Matthews rise. And Jonny...”
*He put on his shades up to his face and covered his eyes. His still has that half-hearted smirk on his face.*
CHRIS ★ MATTHEWS “...Be ready. Because you can be sure that I'm gonna be ready for the fight that's ahead. See you there.”
*He walks away as the scene fades to black.*
