We find ourselves in a familiar place, when the camera opens up to the old grounds of the Crimson Palace. It looks as though it has been untouched in quite some time, as the windows are boarded up and there are cobwebs along various corners of the palace.
The camera zooms out to reveal Skull standing before the palace, between it and the Crimson Lake. He is wearing a long, flowing trench coat, which the tails of the coat are whipping in the wind.
Once again, he is left to his solitude. Just He and his queen remain from the once almighty Crimson Dynasty.
The camera spins around to get a front profile of Skull. His eyes are closed and his head is hung low. He begins to speak, keeping his head hung low.
“It seems as though, I am left alone once more. Although the only true family I have known has left, I will still remain. Though thoughts of controversy and deceit are ever prominent in my mind, I keep my piece of mind to myself.
The controversy surrounds not my successful title defense, and it surrounds not anything to deal with Santiago or Blue Finger. It surrounds that of my Dynasty. The only one that has remained faithful to me has been my queen Tamara. My children are yet to fail me, and I doubt they will. But in another dimension they shall remain to prevent further harm.
And though my friends, for it shames me to call them family, have left me. I will remain true to what I have for the past 9 months. When I first arrived in this federation, I stayed to myself and was quick to be alone, for it loneliness is what I have always known. Humanity is a cruel thing, and it is humanity to blame as to why I am left with just my queen. I shall stand once more, with my queen by my side, but this time I shall stand higher than any man in this federation.
There is the question circulating amongst the administration as to if Crimson Skull is loyal to the JWF.
That question cannot be answered by me. For no matter what I say or how hard I try to convince anyone of anything, humanity prevents us from ever believing everything to be true.
Humanity leads us to lie, and to want to be lied to.
That is why I have abandoned all human emotion from my person. That is why I am the way I am.
I am not a weak individual that seeks pleasure in the fallacies of this world. By fallacies I mean drugs, alcohol, sex, or any combination of the aforementioned. I speak this to a certain individual and he knows who he is.
Though you have battled me and beaten me time after time in the small battles, the battles that matter are which you are yet to beat me.
And the battle that you have continuously lost time after time is not to me, it is to the fallacies I have mentioned. Crimson Skull will not be the downfall of Johnny Stylez. I will be one of the deciding factors, but Johnny Stylez will cause the ultimate downfall of Johnny Stylez.
Your hunger for more wealth, fame, and glory will lead to your defeat. The human body can only withstand so much before it begins to fail itself. And though you are young, in a sense, the wicked pleasures you seek have aged your body and your soul in a plethora of ways.
And it is in those ways that makes me stronger than you.
You may hold the power of the golden tongue and you can talk even to the deafest of men. But you will never be as strong as I.
The difference between you and I is this, I find my weaknesses and I patch them up and prevent any further damage.
This is why you are unable to defeat me as of late, Johnny. I realized a few short months ago my mistakes, and I learned from them. You continue to make the same mistakes time after time.
Each time that you have proclaimed and promised that you will win, you haven’t been able to keep your word as of late. But let us not look in the past, there is no future in the past.
I am going to try and put it into simpler terms, Stylez. You’re future as champion is non-existing or far off. So I ask you this one favor, please quit while the both of us are young and in our prime. Save yourself for someone that you can actually overtake in the long run.
Pride yourself on being a 2 time champion, and pride yourself with the simple fact that you hold a few victories over me. I’ve told you time and time again, this title is not going to leave my waste for a very, very long time. You had a long title reign but I will hold it longer. At People’s Choice I defended my championship successfully at a major Pay Per View, and I will continue to do so for even more major Pay Per Views.
You’ve had your run as a main event for long enough, now it is time for you to step aside and let someone else share the spotlight with me.
You can only hope that you will main event Miami Mayhem, but the simple fact remains that I will go in as the champion, defending my title against an unknown opponent as of this moment, and I will walk away with my title around my waist.
Barelai Von’Vicious could have made a better challenger than you Stylez, but it seems that I am stuck with you until injury overcomes you, or the pain of defeat will convince you that you are past your prime.
Sometimes, changes are in order, and a change is what happened whenever I won the title at War Games. I changed, I brought my best to the table, but it was too much for you to handle. At People’s Choice, I brought my best to the table, and it was too much for you there as well. That should tell you something Stylez, you can’t remain the same cocky, conceited, ignorant Stylez. You are in line for a major change in your style and in your abilities. The powers you possess as of late, aren’t good enough for you to get over me.
You can remain your usual stubborn self and proclaim “Nah, bra they ain’t nuttin wrong wit dis playah” or however you like to talk.
It’s clear and easy to see that you wasted time you could have spent on an education, fucking your brains out and trying to be on the ‘in’ crowd and down with the latest trends.
Look where this ‘cool’ and ‘hip’ style has gotten you. Sure, it got you somewhere at a point, but now you are on the losing side. You can say that you are a legend in this business, but the success you pride yourself over. I have been that much more successful. For every title rein you have, I have matched. I brought the King of the Flames Championship back into one of the most prestigious titles in this business. I am a two time Tag Team Champion, the last Anarchy World Champion, and a two time World Champion.
I am the original of all these ‘darkies’ as you like to call them.
People can say what they like, but if it weren’t for me, Kaos would still be slicing his wrists in the old abandoned sanitarium that my father established. If it weren’t for me, Barelai Von’Vicious would have still been eating sewer scum and going into random catatonic states, if it weren’t for me Hallow Wicked would have stayed in the dark of night and sleeping in a wooden box somewhere.
Let’s face it Stylez the JWF wouldn’t be what it was without me. Sure, you made a name for yourself right around the time I debuted, but this federation could have lasted prominently with or without you. You aren’t one of the strongest points this federation has. If I had never shown my face, the most successful people in this federation wouldn’t even be here.
So, the next time you want to think of yourself as a legend waiting to happen, think twice and think of the others that are far ahead of you.”
Skull raises his hands high above his head as a super cell storm, rapidly appears. The storm produces a great, green whirlwind that begins to suck anything and everything up that it touches.
It rotates over the palace for a moment until every inch of the palace has been taken up by the whirlwind. The whirlwind then dodges Skull, he doesn’t even acknowledge the storm, and then the whirlwind begins drinking up every drop of the Crimson Lake.
This makes it turn into a swirling whirlwind of green and red. Skull opens up his mouth and begins to inhale. The tail of the whirlwind leaves the ground and goes directly into Skull, and he inhales it entirely.
The scene is left as a barren desert wasteland as Skull turns and walks away from the camera.
