- A chill falls over the arena, as "Puritania" beings to play over the loudspeakers.
A fog shrouds the entrance, as smoke climbs up the ramp.
Slowly 6 pairs of robbed men precede The Crowing and take their places on the ramps.
*The Crowing then enters the arena, in a hooded fur robe. He walks down the ramp with arms out to his sides. He looks at the crowd in disgust upon arriving at the bottom of the ramp. After disrobing himself he makes his way to the ring stairs and once at the top the ring floor begins to fill with a purple smoke.*
"So it seems I have a little problem here.
Bobkill isn't afraid of the darkness. This little insect has the audacity to speak against the darkness.
*pauses*
"The Invaluable.. Darkness.."
"Now if you really think this is a magic trick you little insect, how about you come down to this ring, and I'll show you what it's like to make you disappear. Or better yet, I'll trap you in the darkness forever and end your career by beating you until your other eye disappears... I'll make sure you suffer...
Hows that for a magic trick?!"
"Now I demand helnik, and hotshot for that match right now! Do what you have to do, I don't care, make it happen. NOW! Or I'll end him, off cameras..."
- Lights dim over the arena as the GM's entrance begins to play
*Hotshot makes his way to the ring with a mic in hand*
"Now look, Crowing all I can say is you're not of high enough contract to be making these kinds of demands around here. Your little feuds are cute, but around here, Helnik and I run the script. You'll get the matches we assign, and what happens in the office stays in the office, there's no need to bring that out here in the..."
- Lights suddenly fade to black. And flicker back on to reveal The Crowing standing behind Hotshot
*The Crowing then hooks Hotshots arm, and sets him up for the Serpentine Offering!!*
[Ring Announcer] "THE SERPENTINE OFFERING! THE SERPENTINE OFFERING OUT OF NOWHERE. Oh Jeez, did he really just do that to Hotshot!?"
The Crowing picks up the mic, "Hows that for a damn magic trick? Understand that this is MY show, and that championship is MY title, I'm just letting everything else happen for the entertainment value."
