Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

The scene opens up near the top of an Aztec temple as you see some old masonry and an open door leading into nothing but darkness as wooden torches light up an old stone slab table in the middle of the plateau, from the darkness I walk out from the door wearing my normal gear with a Doomsday Prophet shirt on, but this time I have my face painted like the Aztec priests of old. I look around at my surroundings and I think to myself of no matter how advanced for their time the Aztecs where they still held true to their beliefs no matter how horrific the deeds they had to commit to appease their gods. Laughing a little I take a step forwards towards the table and place my hands upon the top.
Seifer: Here we are, finally we are in Mexico and the beginning of the end has started… The calendar is coming to an end and the 13th B’ak’tun is drawing ever and ever to its close, the end of days has been calculated by many people over the years with no real conclusion but there is a common mistake people make… When people see death in the future they expect it to be the end but I know the truth… Death is not the end it is nothing but a change and change is coming people make no doubt about that… The end must come to us all its inevitable and soon enough this week in fact an change will happen and a new era shall dawn… It’s all down to how much you dare to sacrifice to make sure those goals are met…
I take a deep breath tilting my head back and let out a maniacal laugh my voice carrying on the wind and echoes around me for a moment before lowering my head.
Seifer: Here over hundreds of years ago a race of people made their sacrifices to the sun, moon, the rivers and the rain to maintain harmony in their world and protect their tribe from the unknown fears in the world around them. These sacrifices where made because of their belief that each one was represented by temperamental gods that could destroy them at their slightest whim.
I walk around the table taking a cigarette out of my pocket and lighting it up on one of the wooden torches nearby.
Seifer: These people feared what they did not understand so they created these gods in order for them to make sense of the forces of nature that both created and destroyed around them, and each time a sacrifice was made in their mind they were ensuring the future for their family even if it was only for a short while longer…
Getting to the centre of the table I stop again and take a look around the woodland area that surrounds the temple, watching the wind gently ripple across the treetops I think about how the Aztecs would believe that monsters would wander the lands at night, never seeing them for their own eyes but believing that’s what they saw because of pure ignorance.
Seifer: As the Aztecs sacrifices grew greater and grander more and more was sacrificed to the gods in the name of their own safety, each one with their blood taken to appease the unknown forces in their own world… Strange how the sacrifice of blood has stayed as strong now as it ever has been but it is seen in a different light, the sacrifices has turned into warriors and the warriors one day turn into hero’s when they shed enough blood to end their own life.
I take another draw of my cigarette breathing out the smoke into the night air.
Seifer: Now what is that phrase, you either die a hero or you live enough to become the villain, too long I tried to become the hero to the masses, trying to bring justice to those that deserve it but no matter what I did for the fans they forgot me as soon as they saw me when I was fired, ever since Scott saw me wrestle he saw something in me that barely anyone else did.
With another draw of my cigarette I let out a little chuckle as I feel the demon start to stir inside my soul.
Seifer: He saw the potential for the monster inside, he saw that I can be one of the most dominate people to ever step in between those ropes… He saw this in me where many others wanted to smother him and keep the dark passenger down because they were scared of him, if a power like that was allowed to walk free it would be the end of days for the world as they saw it and nothing to do to get it back to the way it once was the demon was let out of its lair…
I take one more draw of my cigarette flicking the ash off the end of it after I do so.
Seifer: Well bad news people the monster is now free, the darkness that people tried to repress inside me has been let out in full force and the Doomsday Prophet is here, the lament forces that has been released is going to be something you are going to learn to fear like the Aztecs feared their gods…. Because I am now your Prophet and all that want to stay safe shall follow the doctrine of S-Pac and Doomsday.
I take one last draw of my cigarette flicking it down the stairs of the temple.
Seifer: Now you all will pay the price, all of you that tried to keep me down… All of you that told me that I will never make anything of myself in the WCF will all pay witness to the rise of the Doomsday Prophet to the top of the world preaching the gospels of the end of all things and like the Aztec days of old it all will start with a sacrifice.
I walk back around the table and back into the darkness of the room dragging something behind me as I walk back out. As I reach the table I pick up a black man from the floor and bind him to the table before placing a rock into his mouth and tying a piece of cloth around his head to he could not spit it out.
Seifer: Orbit, you unfortunate soul… Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time I am afraid, you had to be the champion didn’t you… You see I used to look up to you, I really did… But after I saw the truth of the darkness I realised something, you would have never have wanted someone like me as an opponent and it took me as far as having to beat my own wife in the middle of the ring to be able to get my chance at you… But now here we are, in a fans bring the weapons last man standing match which is going to be you stepping into my own world.
I walk around the table and take a ritual Aztec flint knife out of my pocket.
Seifer: You see Orbit you step out of the normal wrestling world and you step into the world of the ultraviolent, a world that I thrive in… A world where I feel at home… Around all the violence and the blood that comes along with it… You see I love these sorts of matches because over the years I have found I have a passion for inflicting pain onto others and these matches are just perfect for that.
I take the knife point and dig it into the arm of the man on the table ripping into his flesh as I hear the muffled attempt at a scream of pain from the man on the table.
Seifer: And for all the pain and suffering that I inflict unto others I will take myself to achieve my goals, and to defeat you no sacrifice is too great to reach the victory that I deserve… I will need to go to these lengths to beat you, I expect to shed my blood… I am prepared too risk it all to beat you because I understand that is what it’s going to take to beat you… But with all that Orbit you are going to have to ask yourself this question.
I walk around the table back to the other side of the table facing out to the world around us.
Seifer: If I am willing to take myself to the limits of my own existence to make sure that I bring an end to your reign then what are you going to have to do to be able to stop me? I know you Orbit, you are not used to the type of wars that I feel most at home in, what will you do Orbit… What will the great hero do when he feels the blood run down his face… Running into your eyes blinding you… Running into your mouth and making you gag… All the while you will hear me laughing in your ear, the images of what happened to you will run through your mind and drive you mad and in that moment you will have to face your true self… Will you like what you see Orbit… Can you face the persona within and come out the other side stronger for it or will it consume you and make you a shell of your former self…
I place the knife on the man’s chest feeling him flinch under the slightest touch makes me laugh.
Seifer: I have faced the persona inside and now I am in total control of him and he gives me his power… I am him and he is I… He is what drives me further beyond the boundaries of pain than any other mortal that walks this planet… He is what will give me the strength I need to defeat the great hero Orbit… He will make me more terrifying than any over foe you have fought and he will make sure that the end of the night will bring me gold come Asesinato del Mayo….
As the knife reaches the bottom of the man’s chest I plunge the knife into the top of his stomach and tear it down too his waist… Blood sprays out of the wound covering my face and chest as I place the knife down on the table and reaching inside the man’s chest reaching his heart and tearing it out holding it in front of me as I watch it beat in my hand, the blood still warm as it trickles down my arm…
Seifer: So here we are at the end of all things… Where the children play and the mockingbirds sings… All bullets spent and all voices lost In the hubbub of regret…
I place the heart in a stone bowl at the end of the table and take the lighter fluid out of my pocket pouring its contents into the bowl before taking the matchbook from my pocket and lighting them before throwing it into the bowl setting the heart on fire.
Seifer: For this is the final hour of all things happy… Likeness between life and death uncanny…Do you watch as they dance On the pile of rotting wrongs? The world will be cleansed with its filth expunged… As we all join hands for the breath before the plunge…
Picking up an ancient Aztec stone sword I swing at the man’s neck taking his head clean off before picking it up and holding it in front of me…
Seifer: Orbit, come Asasinato del Mayo you face a man who is driven by his beliefs and is willing to make every sacrifice needed to make sure that he will end your reign as the champion and with that gold will plunge the WCF into a new era of darkness, you are a great warrior Orbit but there are demons out there that the greatest warrior cannot slay…
With these words I throw the head down the steps of the temple before untying the body as I hear the thudding noises of the head rolling down the steps. Cutting the ties off the man I pick up the body and throw it down the stairs also. With a sick thud it hits the steps and starts to roll down staining the old steps once gain red with the blood of the sacrifice like it had done hundreds of years ago.
Seifer: Orbit… I am willing to do anything, I am going to bleed and I will be in pain unimaginable to many but a few… I expect to be in this pain Orbit and I look forward to this pain because throughout the years I have learned to love it… I love to take the pain and I more than love to dish it out also… Will you embrace the pain Orbit or will it consume you like so many others… Will it consume you Orbit and leave you paralyzed for the count of ten, will you have what it takes to keep me down for the same amount of time… We will have to see wont we, but let me make this perfectly clear to you…
I take a few steps closer to the camera smiling a sadistic smile.
Seifer: You will have to kill me to stop me Orbit… Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; Created me divine Omnipotence, The highest Wisdom and the primal Love. Before me there were no created things, Only eterne, and I eternal last. All hope abandon, ye who enter in this ring with me for May the devils have mercy on both of your souls for the angels will have none…. These are the words of the Doomsday Prophet Seifer Black Armstrong… Pay heed to my words or you shall all fade to Black…
With a deep breath taking in the night-time air before walking back into the darkness of the temple as I think over the week to come and I realise, more than ever I am ready for the war to come and I can’t be more excited.
Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

This is the time, this is my time… This is the time I need to bring out the best in me and bring home that gold, since I got here each day I have been obsessing about my training, each day I am either in a local gym or going for a run… I need to attack this with everything and no matter what I will know that I am going in ready for this Sunday… On the down side I have not been sleeping properly again, this is something I have grown used too in the run up to a big match and for me it gets no bigger than this Sunday… I think my own obsessions have been apparent too Chels… When I am not working out I am thinking about the match and I tend to zone out… Once again I am sitting in the hotel lost in my own thoughts before I feel a slap across my chest snapping me out of my own melancholy.
Chelsea: You're doing it again.
Seifer: Doing what?
Chelsea: Zoning out, you did it again.
Seifer: Did I? Sorry about that.
Chelsea: It's ok, I’m getting kind of used to it.
Seifer: What where we talking about again?
Chelsea: Our plans for today if i remember right.
Seifer: Oh yeah....
I think for a moment but the idea had gone completly out of my head.
Seifer: What where our plans again.
Chelsea: Swimming...the dolphins?
Seifer: Oh yeah, I remember now.
I look at some leaflets that where on the table.
Chelsea: Yeah we were talking of when we were going to go.
Seifer: When would you like to go?
Chelsea: It's up to you sweetheart.
Seifer: How about tomorrow? Looks like we need to book a timing beforehand.
Chelsea: That works with me.
Seifer: Ok I’ll give them a call.
I grab my cell phone out my pocket and dial in the number, after a moment someone picked up the phone.
??: Hello Dolphin Discovery I am Maya how can i help you.
Seifer: Hi I’d like to book a session with the dolphins tomorrow.
Maya: Ok then, we have a slot open for 3pm is that ok with you?
Seifer: Hang on I need to check with my better half.
I turn and look at Chelsea.
Seifer: 3pm ok with you?
Chelsea: Sounds great.
Seifer: Ok.
I put the phone back to my ear .
Seifer: Yeah Maya that’s a good time for us.
Maya: That’s great, what’s the name?
Seifer: Mr and Mrs Black Armstrong.
Maya: Oh the wrestlers?
Seifer: Yeah.
Maya: That’s cool, all right it’s all done we will see you tomorrow.
Seifer: See you then.
I hang up the phone and smile at Chelsea.
Seifer: It’s all done.
Chelsea: So what are we going to do today then?
Seifer: I was thinking about trying to relax today, went to the gym yesterday so I can’t go today.
Chelsea: That sounds good to me then, been a long few days.
Seifer: Tell me about it, can’t believe how much rope it took to get Orbit to stay on that fencing.
I move a little closer to her on the couch and hold her hand.
Seifer: Tell you what, today is all about you... What would you like to do today?
Chelsea: Honestly I’m kinda open to anything, I’m not very picky today. What are u thinking?
Seifer: Well I was thinking remember when we used to have those lazy days before Shelley came along.
Chelsea: It's been awhile but yeah I think I remember them.
Seifer: Well then what do you say to a day of room service and good movies?
Chelsea: That sounds great to me, been awhile since we did that.
Seifer: I think it’s just what the doctor ordered... A good chill out before this Sunday I think will do the both of us some good.
Chelsea: Let's hope so, things have been pretty tense around here lately.
Seifer: Yeah, and you know I’m sorry about that... You have never given me a reason to doubt before and I should trust you no matter what.
Chelsea: It's ok, we're both to blame in that situation.
Seifer: Nothing brings people back together more than gold, I promise you I will bring the world title to our family.
A small laugh leaves her lips.
Chelsea: After beating me you better hope you do.
Seifer: Very true, you know I can beat Orbit... I’m in his head now and that will make him sloppy and he’s stepping foot into my sort of match.
Chelsea: That might be true but remember don't get overconfident, I’ve paired with that guy in a match, he's tricky.
Seifer: I am more than ready, I recognise how good the man is that’s why I will be going at him full force from the start.
Chelsea: Ok, I just don’t want you underestimating this guy.
Seifer: I’m not going to do that, he’s the champion for a reason I know that, we will have to wait and see if he can stand up against how sadistic Adrian can be.
Chelsea: It's going to be interesting to see.
Seifer: I agree, now talking about interesting to see I have a movie in mind for us to start with.
Chelsea: What movie?
Seifer: American History X.
Chelsea: What is that about?
Seifer: It’s about a man who was a white supremacist after getting out of prison is trying to change his life around.
Chelsea: Well that sounds kind of different.
Seifer: It’s a good movie, I haven’t seen it in years and I recently picked up a copy of it before we left Canada. For you of course I have also got The Avengers for afterwards.
Chelsea: Well that sounds great then, why don't we start now.
Seifer: Sounds good to me, why don’t you go lie down while I stick in the first movie.
Nodding she turns walking toward the bed as I see her gaze slightly out the window before getting comfy on the bed as I get my copy of American History X and get it set up in the blue ray player before joining her on the bed.
Seifer: This is nice, I’ve really missed this.
Chelsea: You aren't the only one, it's been too long.
Seifer: Way too long.
I gently kiss her on the neck before looking up at the screen as the movie starts. She cuddles against me letting her head rest against me chest as she smiles before glancing toward the TV as we relax and watch the movie, today is going to be a good day I can feel it.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

Chelsea: It's been awhile but yeah I think I remember them.
Seifer: Well then what do you say to a day of room service and good movies?
Chelsea: That sounds great to me, been awhile since we did that.
Seifer: I think it’s just what the doctor ordered... A good chill out before this Sunday I think will do the both of us some good.
Chelsea: Let's hope so, things have been pretty tense around here lately.
Seifer: Yeah, and you know I’m sorry about that... You have never given me a reason to doubt before and I should trust you no matter what.
Chelsea: It's ok, we're both to blame in that situation.
Seifer: Nothing brings people back together more than gold, I promise you I will bring the world title to our family.
A small laugh leaves her lips.
Chelsea: After beating me you better hope you do.
Seifer: Very true, you know I can beat Orbit... I’m in his head now and that will make him sloppy and he’s stepping foot into my sort of match.
Chelsea: That might be true but remember don't get overconfident, I’ve paired with that guy in a match, he's tricky.
Seifer: I am more than ready, I recognise how good the man is that’s why I will be going at him full force from the start.
Chelsea: Ok, I just don’t want you underestimating this guy.
Seifer: I’m not going to do that, he’s the champion for a reason I know that, we will have to wait and see if he can stand up against how sadistic Adrian can be.
Chelsea: It's going to be interesting to see.
Seifer: I agree, now talking about interesting to see I have a movie in mind for us to start with.
Chelsea: What movie?
Seifer: American History X.
Chelsea: What is that about?
Seifer: It’s about a man who was a white supremacist after getting out of prison is trying to change his life around.
Chelsea: Well that sounds kind of different.
Seifer: It’s a good movie, I haven’t seen it in years and I recently picked up a copy of it before we left Canada. For you of course I have also got The Avengers for afterwards.
Chelsea: Well that sounds great then, why don't we start now.
Seifer: Sounds good to me, why don’t you go lie down while I stick in the first movie.
Nodding she turns walking toward the bed as I see her gaze slightly out the window before getting comfy on the bed as I get my copy of American History X and get it set up in the blue ray player before joining her on the bed.
Seifer: This is nice, I’ve really missed this.
Chelsea: You aren't the only one, it's been too long.
Seifer: Way too long.
I gently kiss her on the neck before looking up at the screen as the movie starts. She cuddles against me letting her head rest against me chest as she smiles before glancing toward the TV as we relax and watch the movie, today is going to be a good day I can feel it.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
