(Weapon is seen sitting eyes wide, the anger and nerves in his body building more and more as he watches the latest Cell Block promo, the demon filled Cell Block grabs Sheryl and drags her into the darkness, as the promo ends, Claire looks as shocked as Lethal, she looks over at him, his fingers tangled in the covers, squashing it into the palms of his wrists, suddenly in anger he swipes the vase from of the top of the telly, and looks around at Claire.)
Weapon:
I have to go and get her.
Claire:
But what if it’s a trap, what if he is still there?
Weapon:
If Cell Block is still there, then he is a bigger fool then I first thought, cause I will kill him as I did those other pieces of crap the Death Row Brothers!
(Weapon grabs his keys to the Black and Red Custom Toyota MR2 and storms out of the room, Claire jumps up and quickly follows him, he smashes through the door leading onto his porch and out onto the beach, Weapon just slams through the sandy ground foot after foot like a man possessed, in the background the fading sun can be seen causing the night to drift over the world as darkness begins to draw closer, he runs up the concrete steps to where his car is parked and gets inside, he puts the key in the ignition and starts the engine off, the sound of my reason by Linkin Park playing loudly through the speakers, suddenly the passenger door opens and Claire gets in placing a seat belt over her shoulder, Weapon looks across at her and smiles.
He knows he is happy about her coming, if anything was going to happen Claire would make some difference, he turned back to the thought of Sheryl which lead to the first movement of the car, a wheel spin that drives the car furiously forward toward the run down factory.
The scene flicks to the car still moving at a stupid speed, its heading toward the factory and is less then 10 minutes away now, Inme – Energy is now playing through the speakers and Weapon and Claire are found in mid-conversation.)
Claire:
You know I am there Nick, you mean a lot to me, I wouldn’t let you get hurt.
Weapon:
I know, I just think you should stay in the car. You have phoned Stevie, Hellbound, Barbarian and all the old crew, they are ready yeah.
Claire:
Yeah they all saw the promo as well, a number of them are all ready there, they are just waiting for you to tell them to enter.
Weapon:
No, not until I get there, I don’t need someone else telling me the news.
(Suddenly he turns left through a opening in a mesh fence surrounding an old industrial area, he speeds toward the factories ahead, in front 5 more sports cars can be seen, Stevie is standing in front of Weapons former wrestling friends and current training crew, he is wearing his Heartbreaker shirt and a pair of jeans and looking extremely angry as are the rest, Weapon quickly stops the car and jumps out followed more slowly by Claire, he turns to her indicating her to stay in the car, she looks upset but does as he says getting back in the car, Weapon storms past Stevie and co and kicks the double doors of there hinges with his boot as he enters the destroyed warehouse.
Paper can be seen shuffling around the floor and old utensils and other bits and pieces used by the former company that owned the structure can be seen thrown over the floor mixed with about three years of dirt and dust, he looks over to the corner where the video was shot and gulps hard, holding his hand open back to Stevie unwillingly keeping his eyes on the dark corner where Sheryl was dragged, he shines the torch that direction and see nothing, not even a bloodstain, he looks confused, he turns to talk to Stevie, but in front of him, Kinetic can be standing looking over him, in the background, Hellbound and Barbarian can be seen beating down Stevie. Kinetic grabs Weapon by the throat and pushes him against a wall, his eyes seeming red with hate, Weapon attempts to struggle free, but the grip is to tight, the power of Kinetic begins to lift Weapon of his feet, still holding the efed legend with one hand! Suddenly in desperation Weapon lashes out, kicking Kinetic in the groin with huge ferocity, the big man lets go of the hold and looks in utter pain before being grabbed by Weapon right into a Spinebuster!
Barbarian sees this and turns charging at Weapon, but Weapon counters the run and nearly breaks him in half with a huge spear that rocks all that around them, Hellbound -the eldest and most intelligent- grabs the hurt Stevie and pulls out a sharp knife holding it to Stevie’s throat, he smiles Evilly at Weapon as he walks back toward another dark area, from beside them walks the alive and well Sheryl Marie Gray she is smiling with great pleasure as Weapon goes pitch white in the face, his anger is fuming, but if he moves Stevie will be killed, suddenly Kinetic charges in from behind grabbing Weapon and holding him, Barbarian however is out of it!
Sheryl walks up to Weapon who is now unable to defend himself, she puts her face close to his and sniffs his expensive aftershave, the smell is a turn on and trying to resist from running back to Weapon is hard, her feelings for him are still as strong as ever, but business comes first and Weapon is against her….In Business, she moves away from him, but not far, there noses just inches from each other.)
Sheryl:
Long time dear husband.
Weapon:
Obviously not long enough.
Sheryl:
Ohh..Don’t be like that, we have so much to talk about my dear, loving, husband, firstly about us, why not, you see, we are nothing anymore, you never gave me credit for my part in your career, for my help to make you what you are, you never showed me the respect I deserved, and now…Now, I have proved that you are nothing with out me, you are thick and stupid.
You wanted me alive so bad, you wanted to save my life, why, because you still love me? Oh, get over it, I don’t love you, I never did, you were famous, the money was good, and oh hell, the men I met were damn fine and better then you.
(She knew she was lying, the sadness in her eyes had given it away, Sheryl had only ever slept with one man, and that was Lethal, the lies had hurt her as much as they had hurt Weapon, but he hadn’t known that, or at least she thought he hadn’t, the problem with them both, was they had known each other to long and throughout the last 15 years had been as close as you can get, reading each others lies and feelings was easy, the eyes gave everything away, realising this, she turned from Weapon and looked at Stevie, she had seen his recent interview and in a rage of jealousy over his liking to Claire had smashed up the hotel room she was staying in, knowing her love with Weapon had finally been destroyed, even his friends had turned on her. She saw the blood trickling down his face and smiled, she liked Stevie, but Cell Blocks hatred and the CDC training she had received had made her glad to see the site of his blood, the job had been done on him properly, she then turned back to Weapon, clear faced, not a mark on him, the smile faded away and the realisation that he had been caught but not beaten down sunk in, her plan to make him bleed had not yet been completed and she would be damned if she was going to let her own husband foil one of her plans as he had done CDC’s and MSK’s.)
Sheryl:
Isn’t it funny how four years ago you joined the CDC and threw all they taught you back in there face, you thought you were to good for the them and walked away from everything you gave them, and now four years on, I am here, taught by the best, being trained the same way you were, doing the same things you did, difference is I recognize the hand that feeds me and I am not going to throw that away, you did all you could for me, but your training wasn’t enough, CDC are superior always have been, you think you killed them…Oh no, you haven’t destroyed them by far, they are around just not in the squared circle, you see, they were banned from the wrestling industry, however, nothing said they couldn’t work outside the wrestling circuit, training.
(Weapon remembered the clause, she was right, had she planned this from all the way back then? No she couldn’t have, he carried on listening.)
Sheryl:
Awww, Poor baby, did you think I would be stupid enough to forget my own clauses, just like you thought I was stupid enough to team with a man that would kill me! Ha, come on, give me a break.
Cell is not himself as you have seen, seems he is possessed by Jimmy and Jaime, you remember them don’t you Lethal, the Death Row Brothers, the men you killed, seems they want some revenge for what you done?
Weapon:
Then let them come get some, Cell wants me, why ain’t he here?
Sheryl:
No, no, you see this match tommorow night is going to mark your first defeat in the CWA and your biggest embarrassment, to lose to a man you said was no good, past it… However, I am going to give you an extra incentive…If you win at Assault, if somehow you overcome the power of me and my new found alliance, then you Lethal will be rewarded with a match in three months time…Yes three months…If you win, Cell block will be out of the CWA never allowed to return, that should be enough to make you say yes.
Weapon:
No it isn’t.
(Sheryl looks at him, the confusion in her face masks the shock she feels inside to his decision, for four years all Weapon has wanted to do is destroy the CDC, MSK, Cell Block and 6 Pac, what else could he want?)
Weapon:
You want to know what will make me say yes?
Sheryl:
Go on.
Weapon:
I want Cell Block gone as you said, I want the CDC destroyed in everyway, and the last two things….I want you banned from CWA, forever.
Sheryl:
And the last?
Weapon:
I want my son back, however I’m not like you, after I beat Cell Blocks ass this Saturday then in three months time, ill get my son back and still let you see him, but I want custody of him.
Sheryl:
You want our boy, never.
Weapon:
I thought you were a business women Sheryl, I mean it is what caused us to be over, it is what caused our son to be away from his father in the first place isn’t it?
Sheryl:
But…
Weapon:
NO BUTS, this is business, I loved you, cherished you, for four years I did what I could for you, and you turned on me because of business and power. You were the commissioner, you had a responsibility, and you chose the job over me, unlike Scott, Win, lose or draw you have lost me forever. One way or another I will get Scott back, if it means going to the court, I will surely win, you know that, your not stupid, everyone saw what you done to me and that will be bad for you in court, as odds go, if I was a betting man I would say you would have no rights to see him at all.
So yes…Or No?
(Sheryl knew he was right, how had she been so stupid, she made this match and forgot Weapons main aim, to have his son back, she knew he would make that a clause and to have her disowned by the CWA, she couldn’t believe it, Weapon was after complete destruction of her, Cell and CDC for good, she had to think of something else, but what? If it went to court she would surely never see Scott again, until now she had managed to hold that off, but now Weapon was going to do it, she had to accept, holding the tears in she turned to him.)
Sheryl:
Yes.
(The anger begun to fill her body, Nick (Weapon) had fooled her, he had out thought her and tricked her into losing all she had begun, Cell Block had to win.
She looked at Kinetic giving him a quick nod, Hellbound also took note of this and let go of the beaten down Stevie James who collapses to the floor, he take a step toward Weapon, but Weapon jumps up using Kinetic’s body as a wall to push his weight onto lifting his legs and booting Hellbound in the face knocking him to the floor, at the same time Kinetic is knocked backwards to the floor, Weapon falling on top of him, the two of them scramble to get back to there feet, but Weapon is the quicker he runs at Kinetic, but the big man just lifts his hand and again grabs Lethal by the throat, he stands up towering of the No.1 Assassin, suddenly the double doors behind the big man swing open and Lethal’s friend The Freak, himself charges in he spears the knee of Kinetic knocking the big man down to one knee and letting go of Weapon he then throws right hand after right hand but Kinetic un-phased grabs Freak, but before he can take advantage turns right into a Thunderous Burning Bullet Spear by Lethal Weapon, Claire runs in and sees the carnage, she looks over to see Sheryl now stunned to see Claire, she looks angry and jealous to see her and looks more then tempted to fight her then and there, but Hellbound grabs her and runs out through another set of double doors, Claire and Weapon give chase and open the doors only to see Sheryl’s car leave the industrial area at speed and head of into the distance, Weapon swears under his breath and looks across at Stevie, he runs over to him and looks at the wounds, a few stitches will be needed but nothing drastic, Freak has already phoned the ambulance as Weapon rests Stevie against the wall, Freak kneels down tending to him as Weapon stands up and heads back out to where Sheryl’s car was.)
Claire:
What the hell happened?
Weapon:
She is alive, and well, it was a trap?
Claire:
And Cell Block and ReD, what did they do, did they hurt Stevie?
Weapon:
No, Kinetic, and Barbarian were partly to do with it, Hellbound and Sheryl got away, they were the rest of them.
Claire:
So where was Cell Block?
Weapon:
Being saved for Saturday…Sheryl has made me an offer, I have stated my terms, now I just wait for hers and Cells, I gurantee my career will be on the line, maybe even my life.
Claire:
What have you agreed to?
Weapon:
I don’t know yet, all I know is if I win tomorrow, then I get rid of Sheryl and Cell for good, and I get my son back.
Claire:
Then you need to win.
Weapon:
I will.
Claire:
You can be that sure?
Weapon:
…My son is taken from me, my wife is trying to hurt me, my career is being threatened, and now I have to destroy for the second time Jimmy and Jaime, this time while locked inside the hardcore body of Cell Block. Oh…I am sure.
Claire:
Shall I leave you alone.
Weapon:
For a second.
(Claire’s face is one of sadness and disappointment as she walks away, she wants Weapon to be happy, but it seems now, the only way that is going to be a reality is to destroy those in his way, they have had there good times so far, but now they were at an all time low, Weapon was angry, in pain, and at Assault that was going to be let out.
Standing there he looked at the moon, the stars, the now night sky, the lights of passing cars was a small distraction from those things, the distant sound of engines and people talking, however during the small moments of complete silence, he could hear the night breeze and the sound of paper as it was blown across the dirty concrete, suddenly he thought out loud, hoping his opponents could hear him, some how, some way?)
Weapon:
Jimmy and Jaime, oh the memories we have are so sweet.
So its true, you have so namely possessed Cell Blocks body, I mean you would have had to, Cell isn’t sick enough to eat someone, he is sick, but not that bad, however it does worry me, that between you, he has your intense sickness, and Cell’s very own clever planning, mixed with Sheryl’s intelligence, that of course being a dangerous concoction.
However, as Sheryl found out tonight, I am not the slowest bullet in the gun, and come Assault I am more then ready to face, Cell Block, or even you DRB.
Jimmy, Jaime, tell me how does it feel to steal someone else’s body knowing your is beaten, battered and decomposing in a 6ft hole somewhere nobody cares to visit except maybe the man that is to blame for your death, the man that hides away knowing his fault for your end, Crack Daddy.
Jimmy, Jaime, Tomorrow night, I destroy you once more and finally put you to rest in your graves, then in three months time, after I have destroyed the rest of the MSK and there allegences I will come back, and destroy your former leader, your former boss, and my intentions will be to not only end his career, but end his life and make sure he never returns this time.
As for you Cell Block, you may not be here in person, but you can sure as hell hear me, and you know what I am saying, Jimmy and Jaime are back, but not for long, when they are destroyed tomorrow night, I then turn my attention to you, and 6 Pac, the two men I want to destroy more then anything, and believe me, there will be no mercy, this is far beyond catchy phrases, far beyond pleasing the fans…This is the final act, the end scene, this is it, in three months time, the end is coming, this four year feud between us is over, 6 Pac, you are included in this, in three months I want you both, the match a King of Hardcore Weapons Lair Match, only the second ever in history.
I know you can hear me, and this coming Assault, followed by Sunstroke and the new reign of Lethal as Hardcore Champion, will show my actions, speak just as loud as my words, and there will be no escape from this human wrecking machine, I am undefeated, and that’s the way its going to stay…… Sheryl… I’m taking my boy back, and you can’t stop me.
(He turns to face Stevie who is now standing helped by one of the ambulance men and Freak, he is laid onto a stretcher and put into the Ambulance, Weapon walks up to Claire and hugs her, he whispers in her ear… “its nearly over.” Looking back up he stares at Stevie and listen to the ambulance crew talking of his injuries, the thoughts run through his head, the memories of Stevie, although he was going to survive, Weapon knew, after this match with 6 Pac and Cell, this didn’t have to be anymore, it could all end, and Lethal and Claire could live happily, but would finishing his career there be what he wanted? He didn’t know, 6 Pac and Cell Block had been his targets for so long, looking past them to a future with no MSK and CDC seemed impossible, but it was a fate that was going to happen, and one that was coming soon. The scene ends with Weapon looking over Claire’s head at the leaving ambulance, Freak following, Claire is looking up at Lethal, worry all over her face, she knew this was way beyond anything wrestling had ever seen, tomorrow was going to explode.)
