The Following is shot in black and white
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interior: A dark hallway, torn up wallpaper lining the walls, old carpet on the floor and a flickering overhead light with cockroaches and other vile creatures scurrying around.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Already in the scene: Jay Crowley, hair down covering his face, stubble on his face, his usually well kept suit looks sort of messy with the shirt untucked and the jacket open. Crowley is leaning up against the wall with his head in his forearm.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I’m sure you would all think that because of my win over Sauce at Night Of Honor that i’d be riding a wave of confidence like many other wrestlers who think that one big win on a big stage is what makes your career but as my mission is more complicated than that not only do I feel no confidence in my ability but that I have let down myself, the order and my partner in Shelldrake. As at Collision Course, I suffered a humiliating defeat as my shoulders were pinned in the center of the ring and let me state that that loss was not JORMUNGANDR’s but simply my own. I apologise to Shelldrake for my weakness that night and believe me it has been a source of great trouble for me. I have had much regret over that loss but I cannot allow it to consume me as it has, going forward…”
Suddenly we are cut into a shot of Crowley whipping his back with the cat of nine tails as Crowley pauses, turning around with a pained look on his face as he slides down the wall.
“Going Forward… I cannot fail.
Crowley pulls himself back up, he tucks his shirt in and fixes his suit but leaving his hair down as he has a look of rage in his eyes
“I cannot let something like that happen to me again, I will not allow myself to fall in the way that I did previously. Soon… we face a tag team by the name of “The Phantom Troupe””
Crowley Scoffs
“They try to let themselves be known by the name of something that would inhabit the underworld, it’s almost noble of them to own the fact that they are aware that their sinful existences will lead to eternal suffering in the afterlife but have no fear Valentine, Hunter for I am here to help you see the light. I am here to give you the punishment for the sins you have reaped and for the lives you have lived. You both seem to have some sort of hubris about yourselves, desperate to prove your supremacy inside the ring… it’s quite frankly pathetic. You seem to subscribe to the logic that the only thing matters for us is success between the ropes, when there is so much more to life than that. My entire purpose is to utilise my time between those ropes to help those to understand the mistakes they have made within their lives and attempt to teach them the ways of their sins but you all seem to think the only thing that matters is what you accomplish within my place of punishment. You two seem to simply value leather and gold, something that in your mind proves that you are the best. I will show you when we face off at Proving Ground that there is much more to this than that and you will finally receive your atonement for the lives you have lived. You will not succeed in attempting to use myself and Shelldrake as a simple stepping stone to your glory in the tag team division and I will show you the light in the complete and utter failures you have turned out to be within your lives. I will not fail The Order, I will not fail Shelldrake, I will not fail JORMUNGANDR. I will swallow you all whole and take you into an entirely new world of suffering.”
Crowley turns around and he walks down the hallway, disappearing into the shadows as the first half of the video fades to black.

The following is shot in black and white.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interior: A large room with a balcony panel above. A large spotlight stands in the middle of the room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Already in scene: Three men dressed similarly to the attire of Father Exodus sit at the Balcony Panel Above.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Brother Crowley, please enter.”
Jay Crowley enters with his hands tied behind his back shirtless, Father Exodus standing behind him. Crowley does not resist, the binding of his hands seemingly a simple precaution, Crowley willingly drops to his knees.
“Brother Crowley, you have failed in the spreading of the ideology of the order. We, the Three Heads of Cerberus, are here to determine your punishment. Father Exodus, if you could please state Crowley’s failure for us to deliberate on.”
“Certainly, Brother Crowley participated in a professional wrestling tournament and in said tournament he seeked to stop the materialism of others by taking the tag team championship title belts on the line in the tournament, however he found himself to be unsuccessful and on the end of being defeated and humiliated in said defeat.”
“Interesting, Crowley is meant to be the best of us and yet he fell to mere normal people?”
“Now, I feel it is slightly more complicated than that. Crowley did in fact have pure intentions going into this tournament and his failure was not to any normal people.”
“Did he at least lose to the winners of the tournament?”
“He did not.”
The Second head scoffs
“Should he not be exalted from the order in that case? Such a failure is humiliating for our brotherhood!”
“You cannot be serious! One simple failure and you want to send one of our most devoted disciples out of the order! How ridiculous!”
“Well he cannot go unpunished!”
“ENOUGH!”
The second and third head quiet down as they turn to the first head
“Crowley will not be exalted from the order, he is too valuable of an asset for us to lose. He however also cannot go unpunished. Brother Crowley, you will be subject to brutal torture and pain due to your failings. 20 Lashes from the cat of nine tails as well as being locked in a room with nothing but water for a few days in order for you to feel the true emptiness that you have caused others to be able to achieve. Is that clear?”
“Yes, I am willing to take any punishment selected by you three. I sincerely apologise for my failures to the order.”
“I am glad to hear that Brother Crowley, now go your punishment awaits you and I do not expect you to repeat as severe of a mistake as this one ever again, is that understood?”
“Yes Father.”
The first head nod sending Crowley and Exodus away, as the two leave into the Darkness we see the three heads speaking to each other as the scene fades out to black.
