They are ready...

[12]

Torment comes to the ring, he stands in the centre, and all lights are out except a spotlight on Torment in the centre of the ring.

I have been battling Jesse Long for weeks when really I should have ended his career in my first week in uCw. It is taking to long for me to break him, to end this feud in the only way fitting, with him in agony and me standing over his body.
I thought this might be the case; I thought the uCw superstars may be stupid enough to stay in my way, block my route to the top. So, 4 weeks ago, whilst banned from uCw shows I launched my plan. Well, it was more of an experiment, an experiment that would enable to me to get to the top of uCw without having to battle my way through countless uCw morons. The results were quite astounding I’m sure you will agree when you see them again later on tonight.

The lights go out for a second and come back up to show Torment is gone.

[12]

Later on in the evening:Torment is back in the ring; he pulls up a chair and sits in the dead centre. It is still dark as the lights have gone down. Torment is sitting in his suit on the chair, one ankle resting on the other knee, looking quite casual, calm and collected. Next to him is a gravestone and on it is written: RIP Jeff Hardy.


Torment: MI5 don’t just train their “special agents” in using JUST needles and shock equipment, any monkey could do that. No. MI5 are the elite and to be the top agent in MI5 you need to be able to Torment people physically and mentally.
Just ask poor Jesse about mind games, if he can still talk that is.
One of the most useful things I found out in MI5 is that everyone has a breaking point, a place where they have no choice but to talk, or in uCw terms, to tap out.
Everything… (Torment begins cracking his knuckles)
has… (Cracks again)
a… (Crack)
breaking… (Crack)
point.

As for my experiment, it was an experiment into pain. O it’s been a lot of fun, I can tell you. And now my experiment is complete. They are ready to be revealed to the uC w audience.
I wanted to find out what if you could take a person to that point, the point where they were about to snap (gestures that he is going to crack his knuckle again but refrains), and then bring them back and let them recover then the next day you repeat the process, hurting them until they can almost not take it any longer and then stopping and the next day, and the next day… over and over, And what if you coupled this with unrelenting verbal abuse? Playing mind games with them, telling them you had raoed their wives and murdered their children, that they are now alone, breaking them down mentally. Then what?
You can only begin imagine what effect this has on a person. Well you don’t actually have to. You can see the results for yourselves.


Torment is on the screen, he says the words “Breaking Point” the two well built men seen earlier in Torments kidnap plot stride to the ring to the music of Pornography for Cowards by Million Dead, they are both slightly taller than Torment and wear plain black trousers and no shirt, they are wearing the same mask as Torment, except the white is where the black is and where the white is the black is. They join Torment in the ring and stand behind him. They remain silent. Arms behind their backs.

Torment: Let me introduce you to my new associates. Rage and Fury, collectively known as Breaking Point, I chose the name and I must admit I am rather proud of it. They are my experiment. Of course I didn’t take the first people I found on the street. I had to choose carefully. A couple of Indy federations lost their top superstars recently; my gain is their loss so to speak. I wanted only the best specimens for my experiment and as you can see the results are quite astounding. Two, wrestling trained, hate filled minions. What they have been subjected to the last week has been more than an ordinary person can comprehend. They have so much pent up anger because they couldn’t fight me back during our “training” that they are capable of destroying anyone if they put their minds to it and … they are under my control.

Jesse Long you were wrong saying that they were my disciples; disciples follow a person in order to learn from them. Breaking Point don’t follow me because they want to learn from me, they follow me because they have no choice, they are aware of what I am capable of and don’t want to be subjected to it again. Maybe even after I am done with you Jesse at WrestleFest you will want to join us, because you can not stand to be my enemy. This is the power I have.
Jesse Long, I hope you’re not too upset about the other day, this is what I do, it’s my passion, what I live for and when you began this feud I made you fully aware of my capabilities, it’s your own fault you suffered, just like it will be your own fault when I break your little body in two at WrestleFest. Jesse Long WrestleFest draws near, I wish you luck because your going to need it far more than I will.

This is only the beginning. The uCw Tag Team division just got a whole lot more interesting. No one can stop us. We are invincible. Torment and Breaking Point: the future of uCw.

Torments laugh echoes throughout the arena, the lights go out and come back up to show the trio have disappeared.

EDIT: sorry for the double post, wanted to make it clear it's two seperate RP's

[Mr. Long]

OOC: I like the name Breaking Point, for some reason, I like non-plural tag team names (call me crazy).

(All three of The Real Americanz are in the locker room)

Jesse: First off. Torment, I will never join you. I will never leave my tag team partner,The dean of eXtreme Jeff Hardy. And I certainly will never leave the love of my life, Vannah. So in reference to me joining you and Breaking Point...HELL NO!

(the crowd cheers)

Jesse: Torment, you see to think of yourself as the master of pain. You seem to believe that you know what true pain is, and how to administer it. Let me explain to you what true pain is. True pain is sitting at home one morning watching TV, when all of a sudden...BOOM! A plane crashes into one of your country's tallest buildings. What's that...BOOM! Another plane crashes into that tower's "twin." Then all of sudden, those buildings come crashing down, along with the lives of thousands of innocent people. And as those buildings come crashing down, millions of peoples' lives changed forever. Millions of peoples' worlds came crashing down around them. And on that day, there wasn't a damn thing any of those people could do to change that. That is true pain. You see Torment, I was one of those millions of peoples that day, and on that day, I felt true pain. So the point I'm trying to make is, Torment, no matter what you do to me mentally or physically, nothing can compare to the pain I felt that day, so bring all you got, because it won't be enough! I'M AN AMERICAN DAMNIT! And there's nothing you, Breaking Point, or anyone else can do to stop me!

(The camera fades into the uCw logo)

[12]

OOC: I'm not really comfortable using 9/11 in a storyline but I will cause you brough it up and so I have only touched on it here, It just seems if I say something it will be cheap heat and everyone, even Torment can understand what kind of thing happened was awful so I would appreciate it being dropped after this. Sorry.


Jesse, Jeff and Vannah are sitting in their dressing room watching some trashy game show. Rage and Fury burst through the door and stand either side of the door; Jeff and Jesse push Vannah behind them and look ready for a fight. breaking Point just stand one each side of the door an stare at the Americanz, fold their arms and stand, Torment's figure turns into the doorway, he looks quite casual as he strides into the locker-room.

Vannah: What the hell do you want? Get out of here, if you so much as lay one finger on me Jesse will kill...
(Breaking point stride forward between Jesse and Jeff forcing them out of the way of Vannah, Torment walks so he is face to face with Vannah, Jeff and Jesse are struggling against Rage and Fury holding them back. Torment stares for a moment at Vannah who now looks scared, he raises a hand in front of her face and she cowers, he then simply places a finger over her lips like a adult would to ssh a child and says:)Sssssssssshhhh, quiet child, this doesn't concern you. (Torment backs off and Rage and Fury return to their masters’ side, Jesse and Jeff look ready to fight)
Torment: Come now Jesse, you don't really think I want your little piece of rubbish, she's not even in my league, far to unsophisticated and "common", she must also have the typical American intellect if she is dating you.

Vannah looks really pissed off and tries to charge at Torment but Jeff holds her back.

Torment: Easy dear, no need for violence, you start anything now and Rage and Fury will be the ones to finish it so you don't want to be making that mistake. The violence? That’ll come at WrestleFest. I am here to see you Jesse, you see it dawned upon me considering the length of time we've been having this little tête-à-tête, we have never had a real conversation, man-to-man, like adults, which to be fair is not surprising considering your nationality and the fact you haven't finished puberty. But it's worth a go anyway...

Jesse Looks really pissed off: Say whatever the hell you want and get out! You've got no rights being here!

Torment: What do you know about rights Jesse, you’re just a child. I am here regarding your previous comments about "the pain of America". My god that was whiney, seriously. I was almost bored to tears of hearing your pre-pubescent voice moan about how American people have suffered. It was so unbelievably...
(He gestures thinking of the correct word to use)
Naive.
(Serious heat heard in the arena).
Jesse Long I'm not going to dwell on what you said, I'm an intelligent man and can comprehend the atrocity for what it was, but for you to bring it up in context to what I'll put you through, and you have no idea. This'll hopefully be the last time we speak before WrestleFest Jesse, I am getting bore of your immaturity and having to deal with your little immature ramblings are only feeding my cravings to destroy you, so for your sake and mine, maybe it's time we let our actions do the talking in the ring at WrestleFest. I'll see you there Jesse, take care.

Torment turns his back to the Americanz and Jeff makes a run at Torment, looking to attack him, Rage simply steps forward and spinebusters Jeff on the floor, his back thudding against the concrete, Jeff writhes in pain and Jesse stares at the back of Torment's head he is thinking of his ext move, suddenly Torment spins round, he has the sick smile across his face.

Torment: I had hoped Jeffery was the more intelligent of you, he has just proven me wrong, i wouldn't even think about attacking me, this is only the start of Breaking Point's domination in uCw. Come now Rage. Fury. Let's leave them to think things over.

Torment walks away, Breaking point check that Jesse is not about to attack and then follow him out, slamming the door behind him.

[Mr. Long]

OOC: Yeah, let's drop the 9/11 thing. I felt like I had to use it once in a rp. Now that I have, I'm not gonna touch on that subject ever again.

***Continuation of 12's RP***

(The camera fades back in to show The Real Americanz still in the locker room)

(Jesse and Vannah help Jeff up and sit him down in a chair, Jeff is still in ton a pain. Jesse and Vannah kneel down beside Jeff)
Jesse: You gonna be alright man?

Jeff: I will be, once you kick that bastard's ass at WrestleFest!

Jesse: I should have never brought you two into this.

Vannah (putting her hand on Jesse's shoulder): It's not your fault. It's all Torment's fault, there's nothing you could have done.

Jesse: Yes there is, I could have given him the match that he wanted when we first met. That's what I could have done. But that's all in the past. Now there's only thing that I can do. I have to beat Torment within an inch of his life. And after he says those two words, I will put an end to his sick and twisted existence.

Jeff: Bull**** you will.

Jesse: What?

Jeff: I said, BULL...****! You think you can beat Torment?! Hell, you've never won a match that wasn't a tag match.

Jesse (stands up): What are you saying Jeff?

Jeff (slow stands up): What I'm saying is that you don't stand a chance against Torment. Come on, you're sixteen, he's a former MI5 agent! What are you gonna do to stop him?

Jesse (getting pissed): What am I gonna do?

Jeff: Yes Jesse, what are you gonna do?!

(Jeff pushes Jesse)

Jeff: Show me what you're gonna do!

Jesse: I...I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Jeff: Torment was right, you are weak, just like America!

(the crowd boos heavily)

Jesse (really pissed off): You son of a bitch, I'LL KILL YOU!

(Jesse runs at Jeff. Just as Jesse is about to hit him, Jeff slaps Jesse. Jesse stands back for a second flips out. Just as he's about to go after Jeff again, Jeff grabs him by the collar and brings him in close)

Jeff: That's more like it!

(Jeff let's go of Jesse)

Jesse: Huh?

Jeff: I needed to see if you could really cut lose. You were about to kill me man! And if you could something like that to you're best friend, just imagine what you could do to Torment.

Jesse: You don't need to worry about me and Torment. But I have to admit, I needed that, I just didn't have to be so damn convincing!

Jeff: Just don't think about the words "I Quit." Think about the words "No Limits!"

Jesse: You know what Jeff, you absolutely right!

Vannah: Remember Jesse, at WrestleFest, you're not fighting him for me, you're not fighting him for Jeff, you're not even fighting him for yourself, you're fighting him for America!

(The camera fades into the uCw logo)

[12]

Torment stands in the empty arena, Croke Park in Ireland, looking out at the 85,000 empty seats and the empty ring that was set up earlier in the day. Rage and Fury are nowhere to be seen; Torment walks form the top of the entranceway down to the ring, looking all around him as he does. He walks up the steps and into the ring. It is almost silent during this. Torment looks in deep thought. He walks round the ring slowly.
He talks loudly, to himself.

Torment: It is here, this is the place Torment will make his long anticipated televised uCw debut. Torment vs. Jesse Long – “I quit” WrestleFest 2004. It has been a long time coming, from 26th May I have been feuding with Jesse; there have been many twists and turns along the way. When we started there was only me and Jesse, he a stupid naïve kid who had no idea about what real pain is and I, Torment, the man who everyone was talking about, the future of uCw.

In a way I wish it had been just me and Jesse, no Breaking Point, Jeffery or Vannah to complicate things, I understand they were necessary pawns in our game of wrestling chess, but if it had been just me and Jesse, maybe this feud would have ended a long time ago and I would be challenging for the uCw title this coming week and not D-Dogg.

But it has been a fun journey, I must admit. Playing mind games, doing what I do best, grinding away at the edge of Jesse’s sanity and feeding my addiction at the same time. It’s been frustrating as well, knowing that I could have beaten Jesse long ago and not being able to get my hands on him in the uCw ring, not being able to have the thing I crave most, and as the date draws near that my cravings will be gone and I will have the ultimate pay-off, it seems more and more difficult to control them.

I will be glad when WrestleFest is over, for Jesse’s sake as well as my own.
As for now I must make myself at home.

Here is my torture chamber,
Here is where I will make my debut,
Here is where Jesse Long will feel true pain,
Here is where history will be made.

Torment’s reign of terror has just begun.

The camera pans outwards and back up the ramps to show Torment standing in the middle of the ring, looking at the empty seats around him.Thinking.

[Mr. Long]

(The Real Americanz are shown arriving by ...car at the arena that will hold WrestleFest. The fans outside start cheering when they see Jesse, Jeff, and Vannah)

Fan: Hey Jeff, can I get an autograph?!

(Jeff stops and signs an autograph, after he's done, they continue walking toward the arena)

Another Fan (holding out a camera): JESSE!

(Jesse stops and motions Jeff and Vannah over. He hands the camera to a security gaurd who takes a picture. Then they start back towards the arena. As they reach the arena, Jeff LeMass runs up to them)

LeMass: Jesse! Jesse! Torment is in the ring right now!

Jesse: What, he is?!

(Jesse hands his bags to Jeff and runs into the arena towards the ring)

***Commercial Break***

(The camera fades back in to show Jesse running through a doorway to the upper deck of the arena. Torment is nowhere to be seen)

(Jesse sprints down to the ring and climbs through the ropes)

Jesse (shouting): TORMENT! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW! YOU CALL THIS YOUR TORTURE CHAMBER?! WELL COME OUT HERE AND TORTURE ME!!!

(Jesse calms down a little bit and looks around the empty arena. Jeff Hardy & Vannah are shown running down to the ring)

Jeff: Dude, what happened?

(Jesse doesn't answer, he just rests against the ropes looking up at the ceiling of Croke Park)

Vannah (climbs through the ropes): Are you alright baby?

Jesse (comes out of his trance): This is biggest night of my life. Tonight, everything I've ever done in this business could be all for nothing. My career, hell my life could end tonight.

Vannah (goes over and hugs Jesse): Don't worry, tonight, you're gonna kick his ass all over Dublin.

Jesse: I hope so. Listen, I appreciate all the support you two have given me, but I need some time to prepare.

Jeff (comes over and shakes Jesse's hand): Good luck, see you after your match.

Jesse: Thanks man.

(Vannah comes over and she and Jesse share a long kiss)

Vannah: Just remember, I love you.

Jesse: I love you too.

(Jesse steps out of the ring and walks up the entrance ramp as the camera fades into the uCw logo)
