Scene Location: Colombus, Ohio
Scene Title: Raven Overcame The Madness?
Time: 10:12 P.M.
Status: On camera



(The scene begins as we are taken to the back of the arena where Slam took place this past week in Colombus, Ohio. It opens up as we are taken into what appears to be an outside area right outside of the arena. A big wooded building is sitting up outside, and as the camera moves down we see none other than Raven, and the rest of The Gathering, Julio and Alexis, standing around close to him.)

: || Julio || : Man Raven, you totally dominated out there tonight ya know? But it really wasnt as impressive as I thought you would be!

: || Raven || : What? It wasnt as impressive as you thought it would be? What the hell is that supposed to mean Julio? I did what I wanted to do, I continued my journey, I completed this part of my destiny, and the end comes down to winning a championship. I have been waiting to win a championship my whole wrestling career, and where have I got Julio huh? Where have I got? Thats right, I have got nowhere. Even Funaki can get shots at belts and I cant. WHAT ABOUT ME!? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN!? Is there something that the sick minds of the world have against me that they dont want me being on top of the federation? Is it that they know that I will go to whatever heights I have to in order to fry their soul and to show no mercy, and show them a little bit of how I feel, and how I have felt all of my life. You see Julio, they can doubt me all they want, but I just beat two guys that I told everyone that I was going to beat. I took their souls and I crushed them. See, I told everyone that when they both stepped into my kingdom, that I would knock them out of it? And what did I do Julio? What did I do? I did exactly that. See, there is my point, nobody wants to believe what I say, they take it as if it is some kind of joke. Thats the thing I dont understand, all these stupid people try to doubt me, because I dont look like I am the type of person that can beat people night in and night out. Well all of you need to come to your senses!

(Raven then begins banging his head against the wood door on the little structure outside of the arena.)

: || Alexis || : Raven, its ok, you got through this match and you know that you are going to be one of the best here, and thats all that matters right?

: || Raven || : No Alexis, thats not all that matters, because it helps to have some people to back me up. But you know what? The more I think about it, it doesnt matter to me whether I have people backing me up, whether I have fans, or not, because I couldnt care, because I am going to win either way, and I am going to show the world just who I really am. I still have not brung out my real self Alexis, I havent shown them who the real Raven is, but in the coming weeks, I will begin to prove myself to everyone. Everyone that has doubted me all this time, will get it proven to me, because I am going to show them exactly who Raven is. I will very soon become one of the best in this federation Alexis, Julio. And you two will be there along the way and will be witnessing the Raven Effect flying full force. Everyone I am put up against will become members of the group that I call the Raven Effect!

(As Raven is sitting there and Julio and Alexis are standing up by him, a wMe employee is seen walking out to where they are. Raven spots him.)

: || Raven || : Who are you? Get the hell away!

: || wMe Worker || : Raven, sir, I was told to come here and to inform you of your match that you have coming up next Sunday at Vengeance!

: || Raven || : What are you talking about? Are you telling me that the management have booked me for a match at Vengeance? What kind of small match is this? It doesnt matter though, because I will continue my journey, and complete my destiny soon enough!

: || wMe Worker || : Well, actually, this match is a title match for the X-Division Title. You will be going up against nine other guys, in a Hardcore Elimination Match to see who is crowned the X-Division Champion!

: || Julio || : Well who in the hell are his opponents for the match then?

: || wMe Worker || : Well, the nine other people that he will be going up against are Goldust, Tommy Dreamer, Amazing Red, Bradshaw, Alex Wright, Rosey, Jamal, Bubba Ray Dudley, and D-Von Dudley, quite a few good superstars there!

: || Raven || : Quote a few good superstars? What are you talking about? I have proved that I can beat Alex Wright, Rosey, and Jamal, now I just gotta go in there and show the other guys just why I am the person everyone fears. You see, people like you just take me for granted, you take me for granted because I sit on the lonely streets night in and night out, because I want a better place to go to think about my career, and I do it here on the streets. Now, these guys in this match are the same way, they know who the better man is in this match, but they dont want to admit it because they know that the beating they get will be worse if they decide they want to talk stuff about me that is not true. I will give them the benefit of the doubt on one thing, I would be scared of me if I was someone else too, because I would know better than to mess with someone who you know will destinquish you, who will put you out, who will end your career in an instant, and I am like that, I will do whatever it takes!

(Raven then puts his head down and looks at the ground. Then a few seconds later, he puts his head up and looks straight into the camera.)

: || Raven || : You see, if there is one thing that I am not, I am not afraid of anyone here in the wMe, and I will never be. What do I have to be afraid of? I know that whoever steps into my kingdom will get thrown out. After all the pain, all the suffering, all the trials and tribulations I have went through in my life to get somewhere, to go someplace, pain does not hurt me, it doesnt phase me one bit. And you will figure out just that come Vengeance, because I wont let down, I wont stop the beating I will give you, because I am starting with a title in this federation, and I am going to get one my third match in. People may say that you guys are tough competitors, and you may say that you have beaten everyone in the federation. Well you havent beaten everyone until you have beaten ME, Raven! I am the one man that stands alone in the dark shadows of the alley, and kill you. You see, I will have no remorse for you once Vengeance comes, so be ready for the fight of your lives, because I wont let up! Welcome to Ravens Clockwork Orange House of Fun!....

So it is written,
So it shall come to past,
Quote the Raven,
Nevermore!

(The scene fades as Raven begins hitting his head on the walls of the wooden structure outside of the arena.)

Scene Location: Short Hills, New Jersey
Scene Title: Raven Is Ready!
Time: 3:44 A.M.
Status: On camera

(The scene begins as we are taken once again to the site where Raven set on fire a mere few weeks ago. We go inside of the house, as The Gathering, Raven, Julio, and Alexis are seen sitting in the main room, well once the main room. They are sitting on the ground as they begin to speak.)

: || Raven || : One mans failure is another mans destiny. When that one person fails, another will succeed and get somewhere. But this Sunday night at Vengeance, it wont be only one other person failing, but it will be nine other people failing and me succeeding and becoming the X-Division Champion. I have been thinking that once I win this championship, I will be on the run for more gold, and higher ranking gold. Some people may doubt me, some people may think different, but I will prove them wrong this Sunday when I single handidly take nine other souls and crush them and make them no more. You can say what you want, but everyone knows the truth, everyone knows exactly what will happen, and that is me coming out on top. But if there is people out there that feel different about me, then thats fine, they can think what they want, but they will get proved wrong along with all the superstars who will be extinguished this Sunday at Vengeance!

(Raven turns his head and looks around the room and then looks back at the camera to talk again.)

: || Raven || : You see, Vengeance will be the night of reckoning. Goldust, who are you trying to be? Because you go around thinking that you are funny, thinking that people like you, but Goldust, if they dont like me, they dont like you, and at Vengeance, you will step into my kingdom, and your soul will be taken. Be ready Goldust. Tommy Dreamer? Ive had enough of you back in the ECW, and I beat you there, what makes you think that I cant beat you now? Is there something different between me and you that I need to know? Because the way I see it, it will be like it has always been before, it will be me beating you and going on to win the X-Division Title! You see, the thing all these people need to get into their heads is that I will walk away with the X-Division title, whether they come to the ring and fight me or not! Amazing Red? Who is this guy? I have seen you before, but you need to lay back and let me take care of this, because this will get you nowhere Red, you will just become another member of what I like to call the Raven Effect! Bradshaw? You can drink your beer, you can do what you like, but the one thing that you wont want to do is step into the ring in this championship match at Vengeance. Go ahead, drink all your beer before the match to get ready, because it doesnt matter, because the results will be the exact same as I said all along, it will be you falling victim and becoming a member of the Raven Effect!

(Raven then looks around as it is pitch black, with only a candle lit.)

: || Raven || : Alex Wright, do you think that you are one of the best the wMe has? Are you kidding me? You think that because you almost beat me, you think your one of the best? Alex, you need to think about something, and you need to think about it quick. I will finish what I started before, and I will continue the beating soon enough. And finally, I will take your soul and I will crush it until you are no more! I know what is going to happen, and you know what is going to happen, so dont waste your energy, dont waste your time in coming to the arena, because I am just going to prove to you who the better one is, and you know who that is! Rosey, who do you think you are getting in a match with me again this week? If im not mistaken, you already stepped into my kingdom last week on Slam and I beat both you and Jamal in a handicap match, did I not? Think what you want Rosey, but I will once again prove to you that you cannot step toe to toe with Raven, I will show you once more! Jamal, I beat you last week as well. You think you are something? Well then why did you get fired from the WWE before coming to the wMe? You can tell everybody what you want to tell them, but I know the real truth Jamal, I know what really happened!

(Raven then turns his head and looks towards Julio, as Julio begins to speak.)

: || Julio || : Well Raven, what about Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley?

: || Raven || : Julio, let me do the talking, I was getting to them. Bubba Ray, you claim to like to put people through tables, but I havent seen any tables lately. And you claim that you are extreme? Where is the extreme in you? Where is the Bubba Ray I once faced in the ECW? Its obvioussly not here, because I dont see any tables lit on fire, I dont see people going through them. Bubba, you have changed, and ou have made a bad change, because now you are the Bubba Ray who just thinks he can beat peoples asses every night. But Bubba Ray, there is one thing you need to learn, there is one man that you cant beat, and thats me, Raven. You can try all you want, but I have a destiny, and I am going to make it to the top. So be ready Bubba, because the real Raven is on your tail and ready to put you out of commision! D-Von, you are the same as Bubba, you were once good when you were in ECW, putting people through tables, but you have changed. You even went low enough to be a reverend, where did that come from D-Von? You go from putting people through tables, and making people feel pain, to trying to praise people and being a reverend? And now you change back to the real D-Von? D-Von, you need to give it a thought if you want to take the chance of getting in the ring with the only real person in this federation, me, Raven! Give it a thought. Welcome to Ravens Clockwork Orange House of Fun!.....

So it is written,
So it shall come to past,
Quote the Raven,
Nevermore!

(Raven then turns his head towards where the candle is and then he blows it out as the camera fades to black.)
