A New Road

(When we last left off; Jory,Becca,and Scotty had returned from the past and went off to the hotel to talk things over then get ready for the NYR ppv. At the ppv itself all three of them had some of the greatest matches yet. Jory walked out of his match the winner over Ice Cube, and Scotty walked out a Co-International Champion with Stiv Strummer. Becca, on the other hand wasn't so lucky. After taking a huge bump by putting current Krash Course and Tag Team Champion Hiddukel thru a casket using her finishing move "Chizzled Sapphire" then being Stiv Slammed thru a table on the outside she ended up in a bad situation..one that may cost her her UEF career.)

***Backstage at NYR**

(NYR, first ppv of the new year and the excitement backstage is overwhelming. UEF Superstars like Thorn and Ryan White are all over the arena warming themselves up while others are just fresh off their matches and showering or celebrating in the back with other members. Jory on the other hand, hasn't had his match yet and is relaxing in his locker room with Kerrie Storm and Joseph Storm, watching the International/Krash Course Title match. Kerrie is warming herself up in Jory's locker room while Jory and Joseph examine the match and the four fighters in it.)

Jory: Man, Scorpion is like Superman in that ring, look at the beating hes taking.

Joseph: Scorpion is a UEF Legend bro, he can hang with the best of them, even us.

Kerrie: *Looks back at them as shes stretching out her muscles in her legs* Jory and I can attest to that.

Jory: Yea, hes good, so its a no brainer why his ass is in LOW haha.

Joseph: Safire,Hiddukel,and Stiv Strummer are very talented as well, I mean who else could have pulled off a Tainted Heaven like that? I'm amazed.

Kerrie: It was quite amazing, but I hope to outdo that move and many others tonight, I gotta fulfill the UEF dream of becoming the Champ.

Jory: You'll do fine Kerrie, just keep your wits about ya and you should be able to survive.

Joseph: Speaking of which *looks at Jory*, how was your trip down to Tombstone Mr.Fickalos? Heard it was quite the experience.

Jory: *Ponders the question*.....It was alright.

Kerrie: Anything exciting happen at least? *Takes a small break and sits down beside Jory*.

Jory: Ahh, well you know the usual stuff that happens in a ghost town/tourist trap. People rip ya off and the sights arent as cool as expected. But it was still quite the experience..being able to walk down the streets and go into the buildings that the legendary old west outlaws once did.

Joseph: I think that would be cool, being able to actually follow in the footsteps of an outlaw like Billy The Kid. Wish I could go back in time and do a lot of that stuff and experience everything that only books can say now.

Jory: *Mumbles* You dont even know man.

Kerrie: I'd like to be able to do that too. Soak up the history of the world by first hand experiences *timer goes off*...oops...forgot to finish my work out.

Joseph: Oi, time for all of us to get ready for our matches. We'll leave you be to get ready Jory, we'll cya after the ppv man.

Jory: Mmk *Shows Joe and Kerrie to the door* Goodluck tonight guys, looking forward to the match!!

(Joe and Kerrie wave and take off to their locker room to get ready. Jory sees Prometheus walk by icing his shoudler and gives him a wave then closes his door to get ready for some wrestling action with another good backstage buddy of his, Ice Cube. Jory takes off his street clothes and starts putting on his rign attire while still watching the screen amazed by the moves being put on by the four competitors. After Jory slips on his attire he begins to put himself into what Kerrie has termed "DM Mode" to psych himself up for his match and put on one hell of a show for his fans. As he psychs himself for the match and stretches out his msucles he cant help but watch Safire fly off the turnbuckle and go crashing thru a casket that had Hiddukel ontop of it. Jory flies over to the screen with a worried look on his face to see if Safire is even moving at all.)

Jory: What the hell was she thinking!?

(Jory watches the ref reassure everyone that she isnt damaged too bad and the match continues on with her in it. Jory slowly shakes his head then goes back to stretching out his muscles and doing a few pushups here and there working up the energy needed to perform. After his ritual, Jory slides on his elbow and knee pads to protect those parts of the body from any series injuries and makes sure hes fully stretched before he walks out the door, before he can finish everything off though he suddenly catches a glimspe of Safire flying thru the air. He turns towards the tv and watches as Stiv uses one of his finishing moves to put Safire thru a table on the outside and even Jory knows that a professional taking that kind of bump is going to be hurt one way or another. Match or not Jory has to make sure shes ok before he can go on and wrestle and turns off the tv. Jory heads out of the room and down the hallway to the Gorilla Pit where Safire is rolled in via her being locked in a casket and the crew men pick the lock so they are able tog et her out. When they get the casket open they see a bloody and battered Safire still not moving and looks to be completely unconcious. Jory, trying not to panic, helps the paramedics slowly take Safire out of the casket and onto a stretcher so they can take her to the hospital to view the damage done to her. Kidd Krash, who also saw the incident, rushes over to DM as he tries to enetr to amublence with his loved one and stops him from getting in.)

Kidd Krash: DM, where ya goin?

Jory: *Worried* I'm heading to the hospital to be by Bec's side.

Kidd Krash: I understand you are saddened about Safire not being able to walk out of the match DM, but she put herself in that position and we still need you to face Ice Cube tonight.

Jory: *Sighs and looks at Bec*...I'll be able to leave the arena after my match right?

Kidd Krash: *Nods* Yes.

Jory: *Turns to a paramedic* You take good care of her or your ass and the hospital's ass is mine, got it?

(The medic nods and Jory slowly steps away from the ambulence and it speeds off towards the hospital. Jory stands there feeling helpless, wanting to help her in any way possible but it unable to til after his match. Jory shakes his head and tries to re-focus himself on the match looking to get it done and over with so hes able to be by her side. All the while Jory is doing this hes hoping he himself will be able to walk out tonight as well.)

***Fast forward to the hospital***

(Its late now, the ppv has passed and everyone gave 100% to the event. Kerrie walked out as the Ultimate Champion, Criminal Sypher reclaimed his UEF UK Championship, Hiddukel finally got revenge on Safire for taking his Krash Course Title back in November, and Scorpion has become a Co-International Champion with Stiv Strummer. What a night it was for many superstars, the unlucky one though, Becca, is sound asleep in a hospital bed with Jory by her side, who was fortunate to walk out of his match the winner. Jory is resting on a couch not to far from Becca's bed, staring at the ceiling waiting for an update on her condition. Earlier she had awaken from her unconcious state but the pain running throughout her body was too much for even "The Queen of Extreme" and she was put to sleep to ease the pain, but it does little to ease Jory's worries. Even though he isnt able to relax too well, the match took a toll on Jory's body and he finds his eyelids beginning to close on him. Knowing hes gonna needs his rest anyways he lets his eyelids close on him and finally falls asleep. Jory, expecting some shut eye before the doctors update him, isnt preparing for the horrifying experience hes about to partake in.)

***Billy and Ike have nothing on this***

(Jory finds himself running down a dark and narrow hallway that seems to go on for eternity and is being followed by Scotty who looks like hes just seen a ghost. Though, in dreams we all know that nothing you want to do goes right, and Jory feels like hes running R-E-A-L-L-Y slow as if hes stuck in quick sand or something. For some reason, that undeniable sensation of fear has built up in his chest and he cant help but feel that ehs being chased by something not of this realm. The running continues and it doesn't seem like Scotty and Jory are going anywhere as they continue to run like snails in an Olympic race, so Jory finds the courage to turn his head to see what they are running from and sees a sight that make Jorys heart suddenly feel like 1,000 needles were piercing right through it. His eyes gaze upon a flying apparition whos wearing a black robe that flows all along the room as if wind was whipping right thru it. Its hands are burnt and appear to be human but with long nasty looking finger nails and its face has a small doll like mask covering its face. The eyes of this ghostly monster glow with a firey red and you can tell tis intentions are to hurt Jory and Scotty. The fear in Jory forces his dream to allow him to run faster then he was originally and amazing hes able to spring faster in his dream and into a small like in the center of the hallway. Scotty catches up to Jory and joins him in the light and both men watch as the apperition grows closer to them, thirsy for their souls. Jory and Scotty stand firm though, prepared to die like men, and just when it seemed they were going to, the demon's hand started burning..it had reached into the light and for some reason the light burnt the already scarred flesh of the ghost and it was scared away by it. Confused Jory looks at Scotty who shrugs as well and suddenly a horrible shriek scares the wits out of both of them and Jory suddenly finds himself awake on the ground, he had fallen off the couch after the shriek and Bec's doctor is looking down at him curious as to why hes on the ground.)

Doctor: Um..*pauses*...bad dream?

Jory: *Rubs his eyes and slowly climbs to his feet* Uhh, yea, something like that. Whats up doc?

Doctor: Well, we've done some tests on Ms.Levin here and analized her situation and it would appear that shes only got a slight concussion with some brusing in her back and her shoudler is out of place. She'll be bedridden for a while but she wont need any surgery and should be up and about within...2-3 months at the least.

Jory: *Smiles* Great news Doc, so she wont be paralized or none of that crap?

Doctor: Nope, just needs to stay in bed and take some medicaiton and she'll be fine.

(Scotty enters the room after the doctor finishes his sentance and walks over to Becca's bed to place some roses next to her. Scotty himself looks pretty beaten up, with a bandage or two on his forehead and a black right eye. Scotty walks over to Jory and the men shake eachothers hands and Scotty looks at the doc.)

Scotty: Hows she doin Doc?

Doc: Like I just told Mr.Johnson here, she'll be out for 2-3 months tops with brusing in her back and a seperated shoulder, nothing too serious.

Scotty: *Looks at Jory* Man, thatw as a close call, I tried to protect her man...

Jory: *Interupts* Dont apologize man, it wasn't your fault.

Scotty: *nods* Well, I'm just glad shes ok.

Jory: *Looks at the doc* When will I be able to take her home?

Doctor: Anytime you want, just make sure she takes it easy ok?

Jory: Sure thing doc.

(The doctor shakes their hands then exits the room to treat another patient leaving Jory and Scotty behind to figure out what to do with Becca.)

Jory: Well, I figure we should take her home and let her rest there, hospitals and Becca really dont mix.

Scotty: Sounds like a plan bro, maybe we should get her an in-home nurse though, that way she can be taken care of when needed.

Jory: Good idea, I'll hire one when we get home.

(While Jory and Scotty talk things over, Becca begins to slowly open her eyelids, awakening from her deep deep sleep. Her eyes wonder around the room the suddenly lock on Jory & Scotty and a small smile forms on her face.)

Becca: *Mumbling* Hey....guys.

(Jory and Scotty stop talking and look over at Becca and are met with a warm smile. Jory walks over to Becca then leans down and gives her a soft kiss on her lips.)

Jory: Hey you, how ya feeling?

Becca: *Groans*...I've had better days.

Jory: I know, you took a brutal beating.

Becca: I dont remember much after I took out Hiddukel, how'd he do by the way?

Jory: Well, the rules of the match were changed mid-match and he was able to sneak away with the KC Title.

Becca: *Winces in pain* Argh, I messed him up and he still took my title?

Jory: Yea, he helped Stiv put you away, then snuck behind Stiv's back and took the KC Title while he and Scotty were dazed.

Becca: That bastard...*tries to get up*.

Jory: *Puts her back down on her bed* No no, your staying in bed, you've got some bad injuries to recover from..your in no condition to go back to the ring.

Becca: How bad am I?

Jory: *Runs his fingers through her hair* Your back is deeply bruised and your shoulder is out of place, your gonna be out for a while I'm afraid.

Becca: Oi....thats just wanted I needed to hear.

Jory: *Turns to Scotty* Hey man, go get a wheelchair so we can get her out of here.

Scotty: Will do.

(Scotty heads out of the room and down the hall to pick up a wheelchair for Becca while Jory slides his arms around her and slowly helps her up to her feet. She winces in pain every inch of the way, no matter how gentle Jory is, and finally brings herself to her feet but must cling to Jory to keep her balanced. Making sure not to hit her sling Jory keeps her on her feet and watches as Scotty walks in rolling along a wheelchair.)

Scotty: Scotty Dillon Driving Services here to pick you up ma'am *sticks his tounge out*.

Becca: *Laughs a little* Thank you Mr. Dillon.

(Jory helps Bec into the wheelchair and makes sure shes safely in before giving Scotty to go ahead to wheel her out. Jory heads over to the front desk and signs her out while Scotty calls over the limo he took to get there and helps her into the limo. Jory finishes the papers then receives the medicine needed for Bec's injuries and joins the two in the limo and it drives off for one of Jory's many homes, one which stands on the outskirts of New York City. Bec cuddles up to Jory who has his head leaning up agaisnt the window of the limo watching life pass him by while Scotty is stretched out on the other side looking to sleep, clearly the match has killed him. For some reaosn, the limo has a sence of calm about it and the three wearly travelers fade away into dream land, once again expecting a nice smooth journey...but it wont be that simple..not yet.)

***Time to die***

(Jory has slipped into dream land and now finds himself back on board of the Queen Mary. Last time Jory was here he had a hellacious battle with "Evil DM" inwhich the forces of good and evil played a tug-a-war with him and he lost out to evil. Jory is walking along the corridor that leads to the pool, but unlike the last time he was here, the walls and ground hes walking on is covered in blood. Jory quickens his pace, the quicker he moves the more blood seems to pour from the walls and seep up from under the ground. Jory now finds himself running down the corridor and is greeted by a gruesome sight as he enters the pool area. Blood is flowing everywhere, and his friend Scotty is lying in it, his stomach cut wide open and his insides infested with maggots and other disgusting nasty bugs. Scotty's face reveals everything, a look of fear is spread over his face, as well as huge claw marks on his face and the rest of his body. Jory backs away from the decapitated body and covers his mouth in disgust, not sure if to run or try and at least salvage his friend's body. Noticing the blood is starten to thicken Jory decides that its time to go but a voice infront of him stops him from moving. Jory looks ahead past the pool to see Becca calling for help and running towards him, the look on her face is the same as Scotty's...absolute fear. Jory watches on and reaches out his hands to Bec but the closer she gets to further away she seems to be. Jory tries to move toward her but he seems to be stuck in a huge puddle of blood and all of a sudden an all too familiar shriek enters Jory's ears and he freezes in fear. Jory slowly looks up and sees the same apprition in the dream before fly over Bec then swoop her up into the air. Becca screams at the top of her lungs and then....shes silent...her head falls down to the bottom of the pool and joins several other severed heads. The apprition gives out an evil ghastly laugh then tears off her limbs and tosses her down to the ground into a heap of bodies and blood. Jory falls backwards into a blood soaked wall not sure what to do with himself, his girlfriend was just mutilated right infront of him and every ounce of his body feels weakened from the sight. The Appirition spots Jory at the enterance of the hallway and wastes no time in making him suffer. It flies across the room heading straight towards Jory and once again he stands his ground, obviously this time not able to move. The ghastly form gets closer to Jory and Jory suddenly feels something in his hand...a flashlight. Jory stares at it for a moment then remembers what happened the last time the ghost interacted with light. Jory fiddles with the flashlight then turns it on and points it at the ghost just before it can reach Jory and with a scream that would make your skin crawl off your skin she disappears and Jory finds himself back in the limo, Scotty and Becca are also awake...but their faces are different..they are pale white and they are shaking.)

Jory: You guys ok? *looks concerned*.

Scotty: Yea man, I just had this weird dream.

Becca; Me too, I got killed by...something very scary.

Scotty: Dude! I did too! And the hallways were...

Jory: *Interupts and says slowly*.......Covered in blood.

Scotty: Yea, how'd you know?

Jory: Cause, I had the same dream, and saw you two die.

Becca:....But...*looks at Scotty and Jory*...how?

Jory: Something messing with us guys, I had another dream just like this back at the hospital. Maybe this is what Morgan was warning us about.

Scotty: Dude, if us fighting the Cowboys was his way of preparing us for this then hes majorly ficked up, that thing is demon like!!

Becca: What do we do?

Jory: You, Becca, are staying at my house to recover. I'll have a nurse stay with you to take care of you. Myself and Scotty need to go to the place where these dreams are coming from and find out why this is happening.

Scotty: But...where are these dreams coming from?

Jory: The one place we all know I want to avoid....Queen Mary.

(Becca looks at Jory worried and hugs him tighter with her free arm. Scotty looks at Jory whos looking down at Becca worried about her condition and theres..but he knows what he has to do. Jory and Scotty are beginning a new road now...one that'll change their lives forever.)
