Lopez: Hardcore Rules. Ghensi wins, he proves that he belongs here. I win, he's out of this company. Anyone that has seen me compete knows that I'm no stranger to the Hardcore style. I've been in so many brutal battles. Some of it has ended with my face covered in blood. All of those battles have made me feel like pure Hell.


He looks up for a few moments.


Lopez: That's what I expect from our war, old friend. You have the most to gain from this match than I do. You win, you get to fight another day in this company. Lose, and you're exiled from this company, and I may be the only one that can bring you back. Back then, there was the one constant in our battles: Me walking out as the winner. A lot has happened since the last time we fought. We'll see if you can finally beat me, or if you can't put down The Demon.


He walks away from the camera's view as a demonic shadow appears where he was standing before the view goes to static.

Chris Ghensi sits alone in his dark room.

Hardcore. The environment in which I thrive. I have had my body broken in these matches. I have been worn down and torn apart in these matches. Lopez, if I cannot defeat you in my own specialty, then what purpose is there? Or, can you even stand to beat me knowing the repercussions? Knowing that defeating me will end my time in the ring? I put the gun to my head, it is now up to you to pull the trigger.

We see Francisco Lopez sitting at the bottom of a staircase.


Lopez: A lot can change in three years. Three years ago, you and I fought on the same side, against some authority figure who only wanted to feed his own ego. You and I were allies. Then, you got sidelined with an injury and that place got shut down. While you were biding your time until you re-appeared, I went to other companies to grow as a wrestler and try to find success. While I became a Champion in some companies, I would suffer multiple setbacks in other organizations. Some of it was in the ring, and some of it was personal. I've fought through every single injury I've suffered, and trust me a lot of those injuries, the average person wouldn't be able to come back.


He stands up and looks around for a moment.


Lopez: Ghensi, you've got the most to lose in this match. You lose, and it's game over for you. You lose your last life in wrestling, and you're out of here. If you really want to stay here and get to the top, you better drop all the doubt that's clouded your mind for the last three years and give me the fight I know you can give me. I don't want to see the Chris Ghensi that I'm looking at right now. No, I want the Chris Ghensi that I went two-out-of-three falls against. I want the Chris Ghensi who gave me the toughest challenge before I became the first So-Cal Unplugged Champion. That's who I want to see fighting to survive against me. I want Chris Ghensi, the man. Not the little wuss that's too afraid to face the light. If I don't fight that guy, then I'll just pull the trigger, and leave. If that's what you want, then there's no point to this match. If you do want to fight with everything you have to survive, then the least I can do is bring out The Demon one more time.


He walks under the stairs and we see the Demonic Shadow almost merge with him as the screen goes to static.

Chris Ghensi sits in his dark room in front of a mirror. He is clearly deep in thought.

Three years. Three goddamn years! I was powerful. I was monstrous. You want that side out? YOU WANT THAT SIDE OUT?!

He stands up and kicks through the mirror.

That... that is what I call the Lusus Naturae. The freak of nature. The unstoppable brute. You want me to face the light? I see it. This dark room. I thought it was the darkness of my soul. No, I know now. You want me to face the light?

Ghensi claps and the lights turn on revealing the burned down SCU Arena. Along the walls are pictures of Lopez. Directly behind him are pictures of their former Army teammates, Rayne and Monolith. He smashes the pictures. Fury overwhelms Ghensi.

Three years. Three goddamn years I brooded! And now, now I have the chance for my ultimate redemption. And you wish to bring him back? It is beyond the Lusus Naturae. It is... it is the diabolical, the insane, the sadist and the masochist. It is the King of Hardcore, it is Mr Body of Pain. It is the true me. You wish to bring him back?

Ghensi drops a match he had been holding behind his back. The flame lights a trail of gasoline as the ring and the building once again burn around him. His voice returns to being calm.

You've fucking got him.
