The history of Jason Long and Havoc is long documented. Whether that be as comrades in war or rivals. Jason happened to be the man that led to the end of the Ashes of the Wake, betraying his own brother in arms. While Havoc never forgave him for it, he still has a soft spot for his former brother.
After taking the Prime Championship away from him, Havoc made sure that their path doesn’t cross each other until Jason is ready. He fought the likes of Billy Bennett, Julius Fairweather, and Mark Hunter to name a few while Jason embarked on his journey of self-discovery. Though, Havoc made a point of keeping a check on Jason’s progress. A lot has changed since their last encounter. Havoc went on to break Jason’s record to become the longest-reigning Prime champion in the company’s history. In fact, only MYOJIN could claim to have held a belt longer than he did since Project: Honor’s inception. While Havoc broke records, Jason has had his own developments.
Havoc always knew that there was darkness surrounding Jason at all times waiting to be brought to light. And with the Entity, Havoc was proven right. A being that rivaled even his own power, Havoc had every reason to be happy. His prophecy of seeing Jason take over his own legacy was only a step away from becoming a reality.
But there’s only so much an eye can tell. Havoc had to know for himself. So, when the opportunity arose to choose your own opponent by challenging them, Havoc took aim and fired his shot. Jason wasn’t the kind to back down and The Nightmare Tyrant knew just that.
The scene begins in Havoc’s lair of darkness as The Nightmare Tyrant is seen prancing around his room. We can see the Iron Throne in the background with the Ascended Prime Championship placed on it. Havoc is almost giddy with excitement as he stares into the camera with blood lust in his eyes.
“Oh boy. I have waited so long for this moment. Yes, the company really wants me to fight Tate Selby. Their new poster child has been climbing up the ranks-- In fact, he has a victory over Jason Long! Now, that is impressive! But even now, my eyes are transfixed on my chosen one. The man who was prophesied to bring us into the new world. The man who I handpicked and helped nurture into becoming the most dominant being on this planet. All those months ago, I had given Jason an opportunity to prove me right. Despite his betrayal, I have been his biggest believer. I have been rooting for him to succeed. In fact, I was ready to die even back then. I was ready to be defeated and put to rest but Jason failed. He let his title and dignity slip away from him as I had to take back the reins over the Kingdom.”
While Havoc was proud of what he had achieved, his goal had always been to make Jason Long ready to execute his will.
“I have been endlessly roaming on this planet for far too long. For years I’ve felt that my time has come but I continue to be denied a fitting end to my story. I am forced to be the personification of chaos in this world because there’s nobody yet to step up into that role for me. And then-- My life truly had a purpose. I had met somebody with the potential of ending my misery for GOOD! I was ready! People like Billy thought that they could get it done and end my life but they failed. Mark Hunter talked a big game but he was brought down to his knees BEGGING for mercy. None of them could satisfy my urges-- None of them were the chosen ones. That role has and always WILL belong to Jason Long. I’ve been patient with that boy. I have let him grow into the monster he is today. I have seen him destroy the minds of his opponents before tearing them limb for limb. I am PROUD of what he has become.”
A faint smile appears on the face of Havoc as he talks about Jason.
“Yet, I continue to wander on this planet. When will my suffering end?! I thought Jason was capable the moment he betrayed me. I thought that he’d be able to take me out for good but he failed. He failed to do so in OWA. He failed to do so in Project: Honor. Time after time, I have given him opportunities to fulfill his prophecy and he CONTINUED to disappoint me. Now, I have shown him a fraction of my power by taking what he loved and ascending it to the next level. The Prime Championship has become the most sought-after belt in all of the wrestling all thanks to my hard work. I beat the undefeated Cottonmouth to unify it with the Ascension Championship. I became a Tyrant. ALL OF THIS-- Was only to get Jason’s attention. I wanted him to be better for me. I wanted him to be better so that he could take his crown back. WHY THE HELL AM I ALIVE, JASON?! That alone is a reminder that you’re a FAILURE! I tried RUINING your life and everything you’ve ever cared for. I played with your mind and made you do things that you’d regret for the rest of your life. I took away everything that you’ve cared about. Your relationships. Your titles. I MADE YOU INTO A MONSTER! AND YET I LIVE! I LIVE TODAY BECAUSE YOU’VE FAILED TO DO THE ONE JOB THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE AGES AGO!!”
There’s frustration in the voice of Havoc, genuinely upset about seeing Jason fail in his sole objective.
“If Jason wasn’t too busy fucking around and fighting his whore ex-girlfriend on Twitter, he’d realize the importance of the task at hand! OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES, YOU LITTLE IRISH CUNT! What is the point of channeling into the power of the Entity if all you’re going to use it for is torturing the stupid bitch whose whole personality is jumping from one man to another? Nobody’s fucking impressed! The Entity is everything that I had ever envisioned it to be and yet you haven’t used it to serve your ONLY purpose in life. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO END ME! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKEOVER! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO USHER IN THE NEW WORLD BUT ALL YOU FUCKING DO IS BITCH AND MOAN ABOUT YOUR PATHETIC LITTLE LIFE!”
Havoc is barely able to contain his emotions regarding Jason’s failure over the past couple of months. Jason has really let himself go and it hurts Havoc to see him in such a position.
“Jason, I have loved you as a brother. You were more than just a soldier in the Ashes for me. You were more than just my right-hand man. While anybody else would have never forgiven you for betraying them, I chose to look the other way. Because I knew that it was part of your development. Gone were the days of Prince Maverick, looking to make most of the ideals taught to him by his King. I was staring at King Jason Long and he was a warrior like no other. While the betrayal did hurt, it made me happy as well. It only supported my decision of choosing you as my successor. You were on the right path-- Until that little wench entered your life. Savannah Sunshine single-handedly DESTROYED you, Jason. You were going strength from strength before and now all I can see is a has-been spiraling down into his own self-destruction. Seeing you like this HURTS me, Jason. I have been wanting to show you the right path again. The Entity is beautiful-- His power is immense. And yet, you haven’t learned to use it to the best of your capability. I wanted to teach you, Jason. While history says otherwise, I know for a fact that you can be better than me. You should have been there already. But you’re not.”
It’s almost like tears are rolling down The Nightmare Tyrant’s cheek—an unfathomable sight for many. But the connection he shared with Jason was real. He felt his pain and it brought him down to his knees.
“Jason, I didn’t challenge you to belittle you any further. In fact, I HOPE that you beat me. I really do. Because you need to remind yourself of who you are. All's not lost just yet. The prophecy couldn’t have been wrong. IT NEVER IS! You are still destined to do all of those things that I have told you. You simply need to move away from the distractions in your life. And if you don’t, I’ll be forced to take action myself. Don’t make me do something I’ll regret Jason. The people you love… The people you care about. They don’t deserve the pain that we’re destined to carry for the rest of eternity. I’d hate to see Dahlia get hurt, even though she’s related to that fucking toxic cunt. These people are dragging you down, Jason. They’re not letting you reach your true potential. If it was anybody else, I’d go about my day without giving a shit. But-- I can’t do that with you. I have a vested interest in your success. You’re my only way to freedom. You’re my only way out of this endless cycle of hatred and misery. But at your current strength, you’re not capable of pulling it off. I need you to break down the barriers between yourself and the Entity. I need you to become the monster that you’re afraid of. There’s only one way to end my life. And at Fallout, I am going to entrust you with that knowledge. Yes-- I am going to tell you EXACTLY what you need to do to destroy me for good. But in exchange, I need to see the REAL you.”
Havoc pauses for an instant, wiping away the tears that were washing away the paint on his face. While the tears may bring out the humanity that Havoc had come to appreciate as Chris, it certainly didn’t change his outlook on the whole situation. He still wanted revenge from everybody who wronged him. That included Savannah Sunshine.
“You can talk about how you’ll beat me. How you’ll get your revenge-- Wins and losses don’t matter to me, Jason. The only way you win is with my body in a fucking casket. So, I don’t care what the records say, you can’t claim to have won when my entire fabric of being WANTS you to win. Do you think I have anything left to prove in this world? I said I’d be the most dominant champion Fallout had ever seen and I kept my word. My reign will go down in history till the dying days of Project: Honor. If my reign comes to an end because my body finally gave up on me, then I consider that as the biggest victory. Because the only way they could pry this title out of my hands was to bury me six feet under. So, be my guest, Jason. Do your absolute worst. Show me that you haven’t regressed further down since our last encounter. Show me that you still have the potential I once saw in you. Just know, there are only so many chances I can give you before… before I am forced to give up on the idea. And that would really hurt, Jason. Since that would mean, our journey together would come to an end. Our bond will be severed. And your life would have come to an end.”
There’s a change in expression on Havoc’s face, one full of disappointment.
“Jason… Mav… For everything that you’ve meant to me, I beg of you to do the right thing. Do not give up on what I told you. Please. I need you. Now more than ever. I am at a crossroads where every path only leads me down to endless misery. I want freedom, Jason. I want this to end. Perhaps, that’s the only way I can bring back Chris. They took away his will to live, Jason. Did you see what they did to him? It was cruel. That man gave humanity so many chances without expecting anything in return. And they paid him back by destroying his identity. I can’t forgive them for that. That list includes Billy Bennett and someone you know very well… Savannah Sunshine. Arik-- Andrew has seemingly gotten a taste of justice. Though, I would have loved to torture him more for my own pleasure. While they’re veering me towards an encounter with Tate Selby, Project: Honor’s next big thing. My eyes are still on you, Jason. Use this opportunity to bring yourself back on track. Show me that you’re better now than you were at Bloodbath. Remind yourself of all the pain I have caused you and channel that hatred towards me. I want to feel the full extent of your power. And I hope-- No… I BEG to fucking Satan himself that you’ve got enough power to end this for good. Just make sure you avenge me, Jason. Avenge Chris. He didn’t deserve to be hurt. Don’t you agree?”
Havoc’s sadness turns into a twisted smile as he crawled toward the camera with devilish intent.
“You’re probably asking yourself why you should help somebody that brought you so much pain. But remember, that’s not the only thing I did for you. I MADE you, Jason. I taught you everything I knew I trusted you to use that when the time was right. While I was harsh to you at times, there was a reason behind it. I was testing your mental fortitude because this isn’t an easy game. Everything I did was for your benefit and even after our public dispute, I kept looking out for you because I cared! I DIDN’T EXPECT ANYTHING IN RETURN, JASON! I NEVER DID! But now-- Now, I want something back. I want you to help me do something that you’ve always mentioned in passing. I know you want to end me. I know that killing me will bring your heart content for all your misfortunes. Even though most of them were your own doing. You can’t just blame me for everything, can you? Not for what Savannah did to you. Or Alyssa. Or anybody else that you chose to be involved with. And while they betrayed you, I was always there. Yet you do not look at me in a favorable light. You accepted my challenge as a way to cope with your recent troubles. Blame it on the fucking demon and take it out on me. Fine! Do what you must. Use me as a way to deal with your sorrow. Stomp my fucking head in. Make me feel pain like I have never felt before.”
Havoc pulls out the knife that was used to stab Jason, which he earned in the Black Friday Mall Brawl. The dried-up crimson layer of blood that belonged to Jason is still visible as Havoc stares at the knife with a glimmer in his eyes.
“I have a gift for you, Jason. I want you to use this to slit my fucking throat. You’re a monster now, aren’t ya? Then show the world what you’re worth by ending the legacy of The Nightmare Tyrant. Take my mantle. Take my title. Take everything I have for you to grow and use that to become my greatest contribution to this godforsaken planet. My most wonderful creation. DO IT! I FUCKING DARE YOU! DO IT!... Please. At this point, enacting my revenge won’t bring me satisfaction. I feel… empty, Jason. Ever since Chris left me-- I am all by myself. I feel like I’ve lost my purpose in life. I’ve lost my identity. But there’s one strand of hope that I can hold on to… And it’s you, Jason. I need you. Please. Help me. Fulfill your prophecy. Become what I envisioned you to be since the day we met. I can’t see the last thing I care about turn into a failure. I really can’t! While I do care about Hana, I am not sure if I can love her as Chris did. It won’t feel right. But the bond between you and I, Jason. That was special. That was something of my own. Something I could hold on to. And for the past couple of months, all I see is you hurting yourself at every step of the way. The losses don’t stop coming. The relationships that you held on crumble in front of you. The people that you trusted turned their back on you. You’re a broken man, Jason. Far more broken than you ever were under my tutelage. You remind me a lot of Chris. He was a broken man too and yet he held on to his ideals till the last day. I don’t see that kind of resolve in you, Jason. You’re an empty shell slowly disappearing into thin air. There will come a point when the world would have forgotten about Jason Long. And I hate every second of it.”
Despite his nature, Havoc was being genuine here. There’s only one person in the world that could get such a reaction out of him. And it was Jason Long.
“If I walk out of Fallout in one piece, then you have failed me. And beyond that, I have nothing more to give you. Nothing more that I can do to save you from your pathetic excuse of a life. The prophecy would be a lie. I will always remember you as the one that got away. The one that couldn’t live up to their potential. And if that happens, I will have to destroy my greatest creation with my own hands. Don’t disappoint me again, Jason. This is your last chance.”
