(ShadowDM, the very name that strikes fear into the hearts of people. For a long time now DM has been trying to overcome his anguish and prove that hes acually a nice man, and just when he thought he could do it, Christina Angel, the girl he thought was his friend, hit him with a sledgehammer to his heart nearly killing him. Not only did this "break his heart" but it unleashed the one thing DM has fought for months to keep hidden, his inner rage. We join DM in an abandonded warehouse where hes surrounded by a group of thugs and a television set.)

ShadowDM: You all are probably wondering why your here.

Thug #1: Yea man, you called us here and we've been sitting around doing nothing for like an hour, what do you want?

ShadowDM: Shut the hell up you pussy! Your all here because we all need to take care of alittle buisness. And if you do the job the way I want you to then not only will I get what I want, but you shall get what you want as well.

Thug #2: Money? Lots of money?

ShadowDM: HAHAHAHAHA, exactly!

Thug #3: Yea man thats what I'm talking about! So whats the job?

ShadowDM: Recently I've been going through a small problem with a few people. Christina Angel,Jacob Angel,Scorpion,and Drew Dreamer. These four people have decided to step up to the plate and try me out. I for one do not like being outnumbered, especially by a woman who tried to kill me, two guys that kiss her ass, and a man with an ego problem. I've chosen you three thugs and the rest of you to do a small job for me.

Thug #1: What job is that man?

ShadowDM: Were going to get rid of them, permenately! Begining with this man.

(DM turns on his tv and presses the "play" button on the VCR. He turns up the volume and suddenly Drew Dreamer is on the screen. DM is showing the thugs a tape of the last two promos Dreamer cut saying how he wants to kill DM.)

ShadowDM: This will be our first victim, Drew Dreamer. Dont worry you dont have to lift a finger for this one boys. I've got him. You see no one threatens to kill me and gets away with it, just like Christina, she nearly killed me and now shes in big big trouble. After I beat Dreamer...AGAIN! Then we will set our sites on the others, but be warned, they are very gifted fighters, yes I've beaten all of them, cept for Christina, she has yet to step into the ring with me. But still, they are skilled and CAN beat you, so make sure you watch their every move and keep a small weapon in hand. Now go, I want you three to lead these pathetic morons and follow Scorpion,Christina,and Jacob. Give me a report everyday as I want to see some progress, and when I give the command. You make them feel your wrath! NOW GO!

(The thugs all scream and hollar and run out of the warehouse to go spy on their future victims leaving DM by himself in the now quiet warehouse.)

ShadowDM: I told them in the begining that my goal was to win gold and destory everyone in my way, they wouldnt listen, they made me go through hell for what? An Ironcore Title run and a chance to rekindle an old relationship, HA! Those fools thought they could control me but no more! Nows my time to strike, nows my time to live out my goals, I'll beat Dreamer and go to Soul Survivor the co-#1 contender to the International Title, and I will walk out the champion, whether anyone, uncluding Christina,Jacob,and Scorpion like it or not. Only problem is theres alot of bodies on my way to the gold.

(DM stands infront of the tv screen looking at his reflection.)

ShadowDM: Christina,Scorpion,Jacob,Dreamer,and...YOU!

(DM's relfection in the tv turns from the dark sinister man to the DM we all know and love.)

Good DM: You cant get rid of me so easily.

Evil DM: Damn it Jory why must you try and fight me? Its too late now! Christina and everyone else will now suffer the way they should suffer!

Jory: I will not allow you to hurt them that way DM. They may not like us, thats apparent. But they only way to get our revenge is to show them that we...no..I am better then them, and thats by going to Soul Survivor, winning that International Title, and winning that rumble match, solidifying me as the best in UEF. Thats how we get our revenge, by showing them nothing they can do will stop us!

Evil DM: You dont get it do you? By taking them out I have a way better chance of winning the gold for ME! I will not stand back and let them try and kill me, then try to take my glory! I will not let them take my spot at the top of the mountain, NEVER! Those thugs will carry out my plan and soon nothing can stop me, nothing.

Jory: Thats what you think! I'll stop you!

Evil DM: Is that so? How?

Jory: Like this.

(Suddenly Evil DM loses control of his body and begins walking out of the warehouse.)

Evil DM: NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Jory: Were going to get this settled once and for all!

(Jory begins walking into a dark alley way forcing the Evil DM to go with his. What does Jory have in mind for Evil DM? We'll find out in a sec.)

***Meanwhile***

(We join up with just the three main thugs who are standing outside of the building that Christina,Jacob,Scorpion,and Brendon are staying.)

Thug #1: Remind me why we sent them rest of the gang home?

Thug #2: Boss put us incharge of the gang right?

Thug #1: Yea, so?

Thug #3: So, we send them home, do the job ourselves, and BOOM! More cheese man!

Thug #1: Good idea, glad I thought of it.

Thug #2: Man you didnt think of anything you fick!

(The thugs run up to a window on the side of the house and peek inside the window. They see Scorpion playing with Brandon and Jacob talkin to Christina in the kitchen.)

Thug #3: Hey thats Scorpion, one of the guys boss asked us to take out.

Thug #2: Looks like a close friend of the family, should be fun taking care of this guy.

Thug #1: We need to draw him outhere, and alone so we can take him out, got any ideas boys?

Thug #2: I've got one, watch this.

(Thug #2 walks from the side of the house and over to the front porch. He walks up the steps and knocks on the door. The other thugs watch Scorpion tell Christina and Jacob that he'll get it and walks to the door. He opens it and greets the stranger.)

Scorpion: Uh, hi how can I help you?

Thug #2: Hi sir, listen my car wont start I was wondering if you could give me alittle hand here.

Scorpion: Sure but be warned, I dont know much about cars.

Thug #2: Oh dont worry sir, this will probably only take a few seconds.

(Scorpion and the thug walk off the porch and down onto the sidewalk.)

Scorpion: So, wheres your ride?

Thug #2: I dont have one but hey, even though I dont have a car your gonna be going for a bumpy ride.

(Scorpion turns around in time to dodge the thugs oncoming punch and trips the thug. Scorpion gets the thug in a headlock and presses down on him.)

Scorpion: Why are you here?

(Thugs 1 & 3 walks up behind Scorpion and kick him in the back of the head.)

Thug #1: To help ur boss get alittle revenge!

(Scorpion stumbles to the ground and looks behind him to see a foot coolide with his face. Scorpion's head bounces off the ground and suddenly all three men are kicking and pounding away at Scorpion. Thugs 2 & 3 pick up Scorpion and hold him up so Thug #1 can talk to him.)

Thug #1: Our boss would like to say that he appreciates the wake up call you and the whore gave him, but now its your turn to feel the pain he went through.

(Thug #1 puts Scorpion's arm over his shoulder and hits him with a Rock Bottom. As the two other thugs kick Scorpion keeping him down Thug #1 pulls out a brick and a note.)

Thug #1: Do me a favor brah, when the whore and the weasle come out to save you give them this note, I think they will find it interesting.

(The thug places the note next to the beaten down Scorpion then tosses the brick through one of the front windows of the building.)

Thug #1: Lets split boys.

Thug #2: I hope you hit that little kid brat, heh.

(The thugs run off into the night celebrating their successful beating on Scorpion. After a few seconds Christina and Jacob come running outside to see who threw the brick but only see a beaten and battered Scorpion laying on his back not moving. Christina and Jacob run over to Scorpion with worried looks on their faces.)

Christina: OMG! SCOTT ARE YOU OK!?

Scorpion: *cough* I...was...jumped.

Jacob: By who?

Scorpion: AHHH! It hurts! *coughs some more* I'm not sure, there was about three of them though, they left a note.

(With his last bit of strength Scorpion points to the note thats now on the ground. Jacob picks up the note and reads it.)

"Guess whos back? Thats right, the DM you know and love is back and this time hes looking for alittle payback. You think its funny putting me in a coma? You think its funny trying to kill me? I DONT! I will now show you true revenge, what you did to me is nothing to what I ahve instore for you, first I will get your pal Scorpion out of the way for good messure, take care of that gimmick stealing moron Dreamer, then the fun will begin. Spend as much time together and with Brendon as you can, because soon heh....lets just say I'll have some rooms in the hospital reserved for you. From your pal, ShadowDM."

(Jacob crumbles up the paper.)

Jacob: Looks like DM isnt cuddly anymore.

Christina: hes after us, and has already hurt Scorpion, I hate Jory!

Jacob: Well I cant really blame him babe, we beat the living tar out of him.

Christina: Well he deserved it, help Scott into the house hun I'm going to see if Brandon is alright.

(Christina runs inside as Jacob helps Scorpion into the house to treat his cuts and bruises. Just as they all re-enter the house we pan back to see the thugs looking on from a few houses down across the street.)

Thug #2: This Brandon kid seems important to them.

Thug #1: Yea he does, oh well, lets go tell the boss what we did, he'll be proud!

(The thugs run off once more towards their car so they can go tell their boss what just happened. Speaking of boss...)

***Back to Jory/DM***

(Jory/DM are in the back of an alley yelling at eachother as usual.)

Jory: DM I, we need to make a change for the better.

Evil DM: Like I said Jory its too late, my goons have probably already taken out that lowlife Scorpion, remember him Jory? I know you do.

(Jory has flashes in his mind of all the times hes faced Scorpion and his last encounter with him that ended with a sledgehammer to Jory's heart.)

Jory: I remember him, and someday I'm going to make him pay but..

(Evil DM interupts him.)

Evil DM: But nothing! Its being taken care of Jory, open your damn eyes and ears! Our revenge is on the verge of success!

??: Success eh?

(Jory/DM turn their heads and and nearly pee their pants with what they are seeing, its the ghost of Victor Haze standing their watching them fight.)

Victor Haze: has nothing I taught you gone thru your head DM?

Evil DM: But...but...your dead!

Vic: I know that dummy! But seeing as my brother has failed miserably in taking my place. I've decided to come back and finish what I started, and thats sending you down the path that avoided me so long ago.

Evil DM: Sorry Vic but your dead now and Vinny is nothing but broken down trash now, I can do this on my own!

Vic: See thats where your wrong my friend, right now Jacob and Christina are plotting against you and your "thugs" are going to be worthless. Trust me DM, you need me on this one, let me help you find the light!

Evil DM: The only light I see is the light down the alley chump.

Vic: DM listen to me. Soul Survivor is coming up, Wrestle World 2 is coming up, the biggest ppvs of your life! If you keep up this attitude you will surely lose.

Evil DM: You know Vic if i had hemroids on my ass I'd name them after you, your both unwanted and always one someones ass! So what if Christina and Jacob are plotting against me? My plan is full proof, nothing they can do or you can do to stop it.

(DM hears his thugs pulling up to the warehouse just down the alley.)

Evil DM: Now if you'll excuse me I've got some buisness to take care of, HAHAHAHA!

(Evil DM regains control of his body and flips off Vic's ghost. Vic just watches as DM heads back down the alley and over to his thugs as his thugs jump out and celebrate.)

Thug #2: We did it boss, we took out Scorpion for you sir!

ShadowDM: Good good, my plan is going perfectly. Come! We must go over our next move.

(DM and the thugs head back into the warehouse to go over DM's thought out plan leaving Vic out in the alley.)

Vic: I'm not giving up on you so easily DM, if you think of me as a hemroid well I'm gonna be one and haunt your ass til you see the light.

(With that Vic vanishes into the cold dark night with plans of his own. What will happen on Protocol? Will DM see the light? Will DM's plans work? Stay tuned.)
