The scene begins at the all too familiar setting for the popular news show on CBS Minnesota, as the camera pans into the news anchors standing in front of a Project Honor Mall Mayhem poster projected on the background. Amelia Santaniello and Chris Shaffer continue with the proceedings.
“You’re tuning in for CBS Mornings and we’ve got some Breaking News developed over the weekend. After being closed over Thanksgiving, Mall of America will be coming back with a bang. The biggest mall in America has always been in the limelight, but with Black Friday fast approaching, warnings have been issued by Bloomington authorities regarding the big event scheduled for Black Friday. While the Black Friday sales will commence as expected, the mall will be a battleground for Project: Honor. A wrestling company is holding a brawl for all in the mall vicinity, which the locals have cited as a huge risk to property and shoppers out that day. The mall is expected to have its largest gathering ever due to this new event and the Black Friday sales in combination. Shoppers are to beware of these wrestlers as some of them are known to be dangerous and unstable. So, we’ll open today’s news broadcast with a discussion. Do you think that Mall of America has made the right decision of letting such a barbaric event be held in its vicinity? We’ve got some locals calling in to share their opinion.”
Amelia presents the developing story as Chris Shaffer interjects to chime in on the situation.
“Amelia, I don’t know about you but I am a huge wrestling fan. I see why Mall of America would indulge in such a happening company like Project: Honor but I have been made aware of some of the participants involved. Let’s just say, I won’t be going to the Mall of America for Black Friday.”
Shaffer playfully comments on the fiasco as locals begin to dial in to voice their opinions.
“We have our first caller joining us today. Tell us your name and where do you stand in this whole situation. Should these wrestlers be allowed to partake in dangerous activities in a crowded setting such as Mall of America on Black Friday?”
Amelia set up the question for the caller.
“Hey, it’s Bill. Absolutely not! The authorities are out of their MIND to let these barbaric baboons destroy property as important as Mall of America. Pro Wrestling is barbaric, inhumane, and destructive! Take Project: Honor for example-- I read the news not too long ago about some wrestler nearly losing his life after landing awkwardly on his neck. He doesn’t have a career anymore! People get hurt all the time. Does the Mall of America want to have such a travesty happen in their vicinity? What if a civilian gets hurt?! Who's responsible for that?! Blasphemous!”
The local passionately voiced his displeasure for the upcoming show as Amelia nodded in approval.
“I have to agree with you. I am not sure what they were thinking by letting on such a show on Black Friday. Even if they somehow close out the mall for the broadcasting-- What about the shoppers?! The biggest mall in America should be held accountable for such bad decisions. Well, thank you for your call, Bill. We have our next caller joining us. Take it away!”
“Oh, I didn’t expect to get through!”
Said a familiar voice on the call. He breaks into hysterical laughter as Amelia and Shaffer look around in confusion, trying to skip to another caller thinking of it as some sort of prank.
“You’re trying to push me off? That’s not going to work, sweet Amelia. How’s your daughter doing by the way? Francesca right? Heard she just turned 18. Please send me regards to her!”
It was clear that Havoc had somehow made it into Live Television as the caller as Amelia had a look of concern on her face. She tried to keep it professional but the mention of her family had her on her guard.
“Who is it?! What is the meaning of this?!”
Amelia was trying not to raise her voice, but the peculiarity of the situation was making it difficult to keep her cool.
“Oh, I apologize. How rude of me! I happen to be one of the people that was labeled as dangerous or unstable. Some people call me Havoc. I prefer being known as the Fallout Prime Champion. Now Amelia, was that your own opinion or are you just following the teleprompter word for word? It’d be a shame if you felt that way about me. That’s not a nice thing to say about anybody, is it? You’ve got a beautiful young family that needs you in their lives. It’d be a shame if something happened to you. Or God forbid, young Francesca.”
Havoc's calm yet disturbing tone was getting to the news anchors. Amelia tried to get the show off the air but nothing was working.
“Keep my daughter’s name out of your mouth, freak! Why are you calling us?! And what have you done to our broadcast?!”
Amelia responded with anger as Havoc burst into laughter.
“Oh, Amelia. I didn’t HAVE to do anything. That’s just a sliver of the power that I possess. I do not appreciate you bad-mouthing me or anybody for that matter. We’re not doing this because we want to. It’s our job. Our livelihood. If you’ve any problem with the venue, you can talk to the authorities. I didn’t decide that. But there’s one thing you’re right about. Bloomington and its locals have EVERYTHING to be worried about. You see, Proving Ground isn’t usually known for its brutal violence or heinous acts committed on the show. That’s what we do on Fallout. Unfortunately, Proving Ground was stupid enough to extend the invitation to us Fallout DEGENERATES! Heck, you might have heard about the upcoming Purge in Whalan. Let’s just say, that show is not for sensitive viewers. LIVES may be lost, Amelia. DEAD BODIES might pile up by the end of the night and Whalan would be painted red from all the bloodshed. But that is to be expected from us unstable folks at Fallout! I guess Mall of America did NOT do its homework while sanctioning this show as part of Proving Ground. Fallout is HERE to play. Just a DAY after the Purge, I will be there to take more lives. Mall of America will be drowning in blood. And that includes the stupid people that show up to watch the event. Nobody will be spared.”
Havoc declared as Amelia was hyperventilating in the background. CBS staff rush in to check in on her as Shaffer tries to take control of the situation.
“Listen, buddy. I don’t know who you are and I don’t care what company you work for. If this is a prank, it’s about time you come clean. Things are getting out of hand and you don’t want this lawsuit pal. So--”
Before Shaffer could continue, Havoc interjects.
“Shut the FUCK up, Shaffer. Did you finally grow a pair of balls? Or should I ask your wife Gloria to let go of them? This is anything BUT a prank call. I heard about the CBS agenda to throw mud at us wrestlers and I had to call in. I am not here to debate with you about our supposed barbaric nature. I am here to confirm ALL of your concerns regarding this event. If I were you, I would steer CLEAR of Mall of America on Friday. This is not part of your regular programming. Proving Ground is the kids-friendly wrestling show but we’re not about that life. We’re fucking killers here on Fallout. That previous caller talked about somebody’s life being ended? Yeah-- I did that. I broke a man’s neck on a whim because I could. You’ve got supposed killers on Proving Ground like Ozymandias. THE GRAND CHAMPION!”
Havoc sarcastically comments on the title reign of his former rival.
“It seems like he has been neutered ever since he signed with Proving Ground. I have a history with that man but boy he hasn’t been the same since our last encounter. After being thrown around the ring like a fucking ragdoll for twenty minutes, he may have fluked a victory out of it but his body gave up right after. He won a title off me-- That fucking bastard! I haven’t forgotten that even if Wrestleworld has wiped his name out of the history books. But his dominance was never to be seen again after our match. And now? He’s trying to regain his form. Even winning a title in the process! But that’s not the Ozymandias that faced me. The man who stepped up to me had power that rivaled the GODS! The son of Cthulhu. A monster! What is this watered-down version that we see on Proving Ground?! Ozymandias is as much of a threat as Jason Long. And I fucking beat his ass in record time! There’s nothing grand about Ozymandias anymore. He’s a shell of his former self. The only reason he has gold around his waist is that nobody else is capable enough to be on his level on Proving Ground. But that isn’t saying much! If he was a real killer-- If he was ANYTHING like he used to be, he would have signed up with Fallout. He would be taking part in the Purge. He would be ACHING to kill people as I do. BUT NO! That man is coasting off easy title defenses and he’s taking part in this brawl only because he couldn’t run away from this one. Everybody had to step up. And unfortunately, Fallout is about to EAT them alive. But it’s not JUST Fallout-- “
Havoc pauses for dramatic effect as Chris Shaffer is now shitting bricks, trying to figure out how Havoc knows about his wife. The show is in shambles and a large part of the CBS staff are now on screen trying to do anything to stop the broadcast.
“True Society has come to collect. I am sure those fucks have been paying attention. They know what we’re capable of. Indy Darling has a stronghold over Proving Ground but he doesn’t stand a chance against Arik Holt and his army of fucking killers. We’re not here to make friends. We’re putting all of Project: Honor on notice. A lot of people have folded and understood what the True Society is about. They have joined us in our struggle against the corrupt system. Perhaps, even more, will join in the Purge. Now, it is time for us to expand to the other show. Proving Ground isn’t up to the level of Fallout but there’s untapped potential waiting to be utilized. Speaking of which, I can talk about my former tag team partner-- Arata Asakura. He’s not like the rest of them and I am frankly surprised that he’d be content with being a part of a dull fucking show in Proving Ground. There’s no blood. No fun. That’s not the Arata I know. Shinigami no Tensei may have been robbed of the opportunity of becoming Tag Team Champions but I corrected that mistake to a certain degree. Once True Society captures those belts, we’ll be in the clear with ALL the gold on Fallout. But we’re not stopping there. We want EVERYTHING that Proving Ground has to offer. Everybody who has been underutilized as part of Indy Darling’s regime. I felt that way too when Christian DeMarco ran Fallout. But Arik Holt changed all of that. That’s what the True Society can do for them. Not just them either-- Anybody watching this shit show at home right now. Know that these fucking corporate suits don’t have your best interest in mind. They’re mindless sheep that read out anything that is given to them. They don't have opinions of their own. They’re just tools to these big corporations spewing out bullshit. If you want the REAL Truth, you know where to find it.”
Havoc declared the True Society’s intentions of expanding to Proving Ground. Their goal of running the entirety of Project: Honor was no secret. PG had an opportunity of a lifetime to be on the right side of history. True Society was the present AND the future of the company.
“Are you done?! Please leave us alone! STOP THIS!”
Shaffer demanded but to no avail.
“I will stop when I feel like it. You motherfuckers have done a LOT of talking with nobody to fight back. Consider this our retaliation. If you want to do something about it, pull the fuck up. You know where we’ll be on Friday. Call the damn authorities. They wouldn’t DARE touch me. So no! I am not fucking done. I still have a lot to get off my chest and your terrible show can be my outlet to get it out of the system. You’ve got clowns like Archimedes and TJ Thomson that fit a circus show more than the wrestling company that they represent. They make a mockery out of the business for people like you to joke about. You don’t take us seriously because of cunts like them. What? You’re going to try to censor me?! It’s not going to work. The people DESERVE to hear the pure unadulterated truth. Somehow Lil Petey coasted to another championship win. The way he runs around here, you’d think he’s running the company. That absolute guts on the madman to just step in and claim the title for his own. Heck, Indy practically handed it to him. And then you’ve got his ILLEGAL Grand title victory plastered all over the company site. NO! It’s not counted! Let’s not throw a fucking bone to anybody that comes around. Petey doesn’t qualify to be a champion. He’s a failed fucking rapper whose career went to the drain and now he’s trying his luck with another venture that will go a similar route. That is IF something bad doesn’t happen to him. Don’t think that I haven’t been hearing about the Big Drip Productions rallying their forces against the True Society. Do they really think a group of fucking assclowns stand a chance to even put a dent on our fucking armor?! What a joke!”
Havoc hysterically laughs at the thought of Big Drip Productions standing a chance against the brutality of the True Society.
“Speaking of jokes, we have Swindle Shelldrake! He’s taking pride in that one little moment he had at Clash of the Cup. He’s going to hold on to that single moment of pinning Ozy for the rest of his career. Probably hoping that he gets some consolation prize out of that. By the way, what a disappointment you have become Ozy. This is your level now? What a fucking shame! Here I was expecting actual competition when I stepped into your grounds. I don’t feel threatened AT ALL! In fact, I feel great! I haven’t had an easier crop of people to deal with since our Wrestleworld days. You’re no threat to me anymore. I am going to stomp on your fucking mask until it breaks and expose the world to your ugly mug. Who else stands a chance on Proving Ground? Let me think… Tara Fenix exists. Good for her, I guess. Let’s hope she can hold on to that after this show. That’s not even a threat. This is how we roll on Fallout! We aim to kill and pull the trigger. Now it’s on YOU to survive. This isn’t going to be another happy-go-lucky Proving Ground show where you can coast your way to an easy paycheck. Everybody in this match has their lives hanging in the balance. EVERYBODY!”
The production crew tries turning off the camera but the button is unresponsive.
“That INCLUDES the crazy motherfuckers from Fallout that signed up for this shit. The funny thing is, they don’t even know if they’ll make it for this show. You never know what happens in Whalan. It’s just a funny image to imagine Julius Fairweather being pulled into the Mall of America in a bodybag. I heard about his recent signing to the Big Drip Productions! Congratulations! You’re so desperate to be a part of the Hollywood system that you associate yourself with failed musicians to get closer to your idol. For the people watching at home, I made Julius tap the fuck out when I shoved a barbed-wire bat into his throat. That’s the level we’re getting at. And he STILL thinks he has a chance to contest against the True Society. What a joke! He’d be LUCKY to be alive after the Purge. The latest signing to the BDP might end up on a Rest in Piss t-shirt like every other failing drug-addicted artist in the industry. Hey-- At least he’d finally sell T-Shirts, even if posthumously. He’s desperately holding on to those tag championships but he made a BIG mistake choosing Lil Petey as his partner. At least Indy was somewhat of a credible champion. Now? It’s just a fucking joke. The True Society WILL collect what’s ours. Speaking of which…”
Havoc’s voice changes tone as he brings up a far too familiar name.
“I am disappointed in one Jason Long. After warning him about his failed relationships, that motherfucker has the gall to stand up against the True Society. Yeah, just like the time he stood up to Arik Holt for stabbing him. Oh, wait. He didn’t do shit. He sent his psychotic girlfriend to the trenches and she came out having caught more feelings for Arik than his bitch ass. And now after I strip him away from the last good thing going on in his life, he falls into depression. Really? I have been FIGHTING with Arik to keep him around because I have my own personal interests with him. Yet he continues to disappoint even now. I will make sure that Jason makes it out of the Purge alive. But I am running out of patience. Jason needs to realize that I have his best interest in mind and he should return to where he belonged. Standing by MY side as a loyal subordinate. If he was READY to be a King, the crown would still be his. Yet here I stand with EVERYTHING in my hands! You heard that Shaffer, I AM A FUCKING KING! I rule over Fallout and it’s about time I whip Proving Ground into submission. They will bow down for me. They WILL obey the True Society.”
Havoc’s demonic voice echoes through the set of the show as if he was right there in the building. Some of the crew scatter around out of fear while Amelia and Shaffer try to call their families at home, only to find no signal.
“It’s all pointless, Amelia. Francesca is safe and sound… for now. And you don’t have to worry about Gloria either, Shaffer. She’s in GOOD hands. Nothing will happen to her. You can’t call anybody for help. You can’t call the authorities. You can’t stop the broadcast till I say so. So, listen to me loud and clear. All the things that you said about us-- It’s all fucking true. We are monsters. Menace to the fucking society. Why? Not because of the people we kill. It’s because of the TRUTH that we’re spreading around the world. NOBODY is ready for it. Especially not the fucking old cunts watching this show forming an opinion based on things that they do not know. The world wants to stop us. The authorities WOULD lock us up if they were physically capable of holding me back. But they’re not. They’re powerless against me. I am a NIGHTMARE to deal with for ANYBODY. And now I bring my brand of fear to Bloomington. Mall of America will be a ground for MASSACRE! Anybody and everybody will face the wrath of the True Society. People of Bloomington, this is YOUR final warning. Do not show up at the Mall of America. And if you do, be ready for the FUCKING WORST! I am not going into this mall for golden tickets or mystery prizes. No. I am here to do the True Society’s bidding. I’ve got Slade along with me. We’re taking over this bitch. Whosoever tries to stand against us will be CUT into pieces and fed to the fucking pigs. IS THAT CLEAR!?”
Havoc lets out a threatening scream as Amelia shudders in her seat.
“Please… please leave us alone. Leave my family alone!”
Shaffer begged as Havoc let out a burst of demonic laughter.
“Fine… It’s about time I paid Gloria a visit anyway. See ya later, alligator”
Havoc continues to manically laugh as Shaffer rushes to the camera and pushes the expensive equipment to the ground, breaking it as the screen turns to static.
