“God works in mysterious ways!!!”
A joyful scream echoes through the sound system as the priest screams through the microphone, walking around as the crowd raise their hands and scream amen after every sentence. The priest stops in front of a young girl as he gets down to his knee.
“Do you believe little girl???”
There’s a smile upon the seven year old girl, who twirls with her hair while nodding her head as she is too shy to say something.
“She says yes people!!! Can I get an AMEN???”
“AMEN!!!”
“That’s right little girl, the entire church said Amen to appreciate you for opening your heart to HE that is our Lord!!”
The crowd react by screaming Amen and raising their hand as the priest walks over towards the center of the stage where we see a large towel wrapped around something as the priest stand there as he takes a pause.
“Did y9ou know that there are people out there that believe that they do not need our Lord??”
We hear some gasps from the crowd as the priest nods his head while lifting up his free hand to silence the crowd as he continues.
“Yes, I know. It’s rather difficult to comprehend that someone would think that their wealth and good looks prevents them to appreciate Our Savior… But it is true!! And I got proof!!!”
He looks at the large robe, wiping away a tear from his face before turning his attention back towards the crowd that awaits him.
“There are people that have been fed with a silver spoon, people that have been told that they can achieve everything that they want to by believing in themselves…. “
He looks over towards the eyes of the people in the front row as he lets the words sink in for a few moments.
“To believe in yourself!! That is their way to tell the world that you need to be independent, that you should not hask others to help you if you do not have the an answer to a question that leaves you clueless. And why is that people??”
“The opening lines of this next song will explain the predicament that people want to put themselves in!!”
The priest patiently runs his eyes over the entire crowd that he can stare in their eyes before opening his mouth.
“You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch people's heads a-roll”
“And what does that tell you people?? I tell you exactly what it should tell you!! That people do not wish to place their faith in the hands of HIM!! That they aare so confident in themselves that they are blinded!! That they are misguided by whatever fake promises that they have made themselves!! And that’s where in the end their heads will start to roll of their shoulders as we watch them tumble into the darkness of their own sinful lies!!”
He shakes his head as he runs his hands through his hair before wiping them off from his outfit in a calm fashion.
“And why do people wish to be a “God”?? Is it the snake that told Eve that she and her Adam that they should eat from the forbidden fruit?? Promising them the wisdom of OUR LORD?? Promising them the KEY to the Garden Of Eden?? Forgetting that they were IN IT to begin with??”
“The serpent’s tongue does not just slither across the ground in search of food, but it also attempts to slither through your brains!! Attempting to alter your perspective of what truly is your guideline to a better life!! To seek the wealth that you truly seek!!”
“All that this pitiful predator is attempting to do is to drag you further down into the ground, watch you wake up when it is too late!! All because you people are just too ignorant to believe that you can watch yourself turn into a god!! While all you need to know that there is only one HIM!!!! And all I can say is that it pains me to see that most of you are too weak to resist it’s temptations….”
The priest turns around, his eyes looks towards the Bible that is resting upon the preacher’s stand. Admiring the crooked pages of the seemingly centuries old book that tells the tale of the existence of their faith as he gallantly nods his head in appreciation before letting out a sigh.
“People misunderstand the humbleness of our Lord the Saviour for weakness, but it is HIS tolerance that allows us to learn from our mistakes!! Where HE only decides to take measures in HIS own mighty hands when the world is destined for a flooding…., where an entire city gets wiped to the ground in a mere whimp…. And where HE allowed HIS people to cross the sea that later on swallows up the Egyptian Pharao and his men because HE could….”
“An apparent common thought that causes people to turn their backs upon HIS word!! Where they take their inventions and fly into space!! And why is that people?? Because you want to see whether there is a Heaven above earth?? Where is your faith? Where is your belief!!!!”
The priest turns his head siceways as he looks over his shoulder towards the watchful crowd and smiles.
“Luckily The Lord has given us a gift, a gift of HIS Messiah!!”
“Amen!!!”
“We should be rejoiced over the gift that keeps on giving!!”
“Amen!!!”
“Because there are many frauds out there that proclaim that they have been granted the same gift that OUR MESSIAH has been granted to spread his arms in order to welcome HIS flock to grace from the eternal fields of life!!”
There is silence from the crowd of people that listen to every single word that he is preaching.
“So I warn you all my brothers and sisters, do not fall in the trap of the wolf that hides underneath the clouds of betrayal and deceit in order to feast upon your innocence!! Because there is only ONE Messiah of Pain!!!”
The priest extends his arms as a door opens and a figure walks out clad in a robe with religious tokens stitched upon its sleaves as his long hair falls over his face. The priest bows his head slightly forward as he allows the man to stand upon his spot to address the people.

“Hallelujah…. Praise the Lord!!!”
A sinister laugh can be heard after Goth has opened up with two infamous statements as Goth is standing in front of the grave of his former wife, the sight of a former torture moment that Joe Montuori used to get under the skin of Goth by doing the unthinkable upon the last resting place. The memories of Montuori urinating upon the grave.
“How often have I not heard that people’s futile prayers have not been answered?? How many times have I not seen people turn their backs upon their beliefs, just because your impatience has not allowed a define interference.”
His gaze remains stoic, remaining focused upon the name of his first wife that has died several years ago due to cancer, where his hands slowly close into fists as he tries to contain his anger towards his mortal foe.
“Have I not shown you the way to the promised land?? Have I not warned you all for the serpent that slithers through the dirt in order to bite you in your Achilles?? And what do you do when it is too late??”
His hair flies in front of his eyes, not losing focus upon the grave as he slowly places his hands upon the headstone as he lets out a sigh.
“The difference between those fools and you my dear wife is that you never stopped believing in me, whereas the masses just go with the flow…. Embrace the new popular entity that has caught their eyes, the flavour of the month syndrome that you liked to tease me with…”
The corners of his mouth slowly rises for a moment as the memories of his wife teasing him pops in his head as he starts to push some hair out of his face.
“But this coming show I will be facing a man that is stuck in his own universe, a man that is so predictable that I could already guess what kind of insults will pop out of his mouth… The fire that is brewing from a fireplace that is mirrored in his contact lenses to give us that idea that he is really “FIRED UP”!! All because the man is all talk, but no essence.”
“And I know this is a hard pill for everyone in EPW to swallow, because all of you may ask yourself the one question that is burning on each and everyone’s lips. What are you talking about Goth?? Why do you deserve a match for that belt when I do not even have one of the best win/loss records in this company??”
He smirks as he runs his fingers over the cold gravestone of his wife before grabbing it tightly.
“When you got people out there that are more dominant than me, when you got people that are quote on quote more deserving than me… And all I got to say is, where were you when you saw your more deserving fools fail against that loud mouth?? Where were you when I crushed him at HIS PEAK? And why did you kept your mouths shut when he disgraced each and every part of personal item that he disgraced right before my very own eyes?? I will tell you where you pieces of shit were, getting all worked up over a youtube socializer who liked or disliked a failed Star Wars show….”
“But then again, where were you??”
Goth slowly kneels in front of the grave, adjusting the vase of flowers so that they stand just underneath the picture of his deceased wife before starting a small prayer.
“Is it the time for all of you to tell me that I need to stop being a one trick pony?? Is it that time that you people tell me that I need to retire??”
“It’s what you want them all to believe isn’t it Joseph?? To have something or someone get under my skin that you can take advantage off? Because you know that you are incapable to do so in the first place??? You are the biggest cry-baby that wants all the attention, yet run off like a miserable bitch when you don’t get your way…”
“Man up bitch, grow some balls and become the man that you paint a picture for each and everyone of us… You beat people in this company that would set you up high as the next big Justin Yorke…. But your expiry date is just as bad when it came down to the Vegas Kid. Promises that you couldn’t keep, it’s just like you are trying to cash in a bet that your funds can’t cash.. “
“But lets just cut the crap Joseph…, we both know what it is all about isn’t it?? Our livelihood, our careers!! Hell our fucking ego’s won’t allow us to walk the same ground and breathe in the same oxygen… you have beaten me, just like I have beaten you. It has been 20 months between our first and this third match Joe… just think about it…. Some of these idiots don’t even have a career that long… And we have a history hat makes us want to drink each other’s blood… Just because you made me want to despise you… And for someone that loves each and every other human being breathing or…”
He looks at his wife’s grave as he swallows a few times
“Or dead… That tells each and everyone of you how much this means for us isn’t it??”
Silence.
“I want to end this Joseph…., the mere fact that there’s a championship to be decided isn’t as important to me as it would have been for each and every other human being breathing. Because when we first started it was about pride… CCP vs. the world…. A group of egotistical assholes that dared to challenge each and every one of us… The second time it was about the mere fact that I had to prove to the world that YOU CANNOT KILL ME!!”
He starts to breath heavily as tears are starting to shed
“I shouldn’t be shedding tears for you Joseph, but I can’t help it. Because once this final confrontation is over I realize that all that is left for me is a void. A void that has consumed me since January 2023…. Where we tore the roof off the building and where I came an inch of proving you wrong…”
“And I was the bigger man, I was the type of guy that would give you your props. I was the type of man that wanted to test his ability against you one more time… Only for you to attempt to deny me that opportunity by trying TO RUIN MY CAREER!!!”
“But revenge is a dish served best cold isn’t it Joseph?? But it wasn’t the revenge that I truly wanted… No, it was a bloodbath instead of two legends take each other on and shake each other’s hands out of respect… “
“You tell me why Joseph?? You dare to look me in the eyes and tell me why… And I can already tell you that you can’t… because that’s not the type of man you want people to believe that you are. But I see through you,, I already know exactly what is going to happen… And that is that it will end up with a disappointment either way…. So enjoy the last few hours while you can, because the void is coming…. It will make you a believer…. “
With that the shot fades.
