The scene fades in moments after Skyler Striker’s loss to Jack of Blades. We are backstage and Hank Brown walks up to Skyler, mic in hand. Skyler is sweating, and bleeding from numerous places on his forehead, and looks to be on the verge of tears. Hank is brushed aside by Skyler’s daughter Jade, who runs up to her father and gives him a look over.
JS: You didn’t do it, dad. You promised me you’d let me hold that title, inscribed Skyler Striker, and you lied. This is why I supported Jack. He promised me he’d win, and he came through. Unlike you.
Jade walks away and Skyler, now with nothing left, slumps over on the nearby crates and passes out. A minute later, he is revived by Hank, who has splashed water over Skyler’s forehead. Skyler sits up with a faraway look on his face and Hank sits next to him for the interview.
HB: Well, I won’t ask how you feel, Skyler. I know you’re in a bad state at the moment. But there are rumours you may be facing Jack again at Helloween. What are your thoughts on that?
This brings Skyler to full consciousness.
SS: If those rumours are true, Hank, then I promise everyone – including Jade – this: If I face Jack of Blades at Helloween with his Hardcore Title on the line, know this. I will not lose. Before tonight, I was worried. Worried for Jade, worried about my safety, worried about what would happen tonight. Now I know everything that Jack can and will throw at me. I will take that Hardcore Title, and I will take back my daughter. Jack, by messing with Jade, you’ve made one fatal mistake – and that is that you have unleashed the fury of the Fatebringer Skyler Striker. If ever you’ve seen me chilling out or relaxing before, you won’t see that par of me again until after Helloween. The crusade of fate has begun, Jack, and I will not rest until I get that belt and my daughter back.
Skyler stands and walks away leaving Hank alone with the mic as the shot fades.
