A crisp but quiet night in an upscale neighborhood. The moon shines brightly illuminating the festivities happening - pumpkins line the street as smaller children dressed as ninjas, monsters and more go door to door knocking on them and asking the age old question; "trick or treat?" One kid in particular seems distressed. She's dressed up as Action Wrestling wrestler L Verez, latex mask and clothes look spot on. The child stands back as the group she's with all run up to the door and gleefully get candy from the strangers in the homes. They make their way down the road, little L not going up to any door, biding her time for the biggest score.
They head toward a dark part of the street, trees covering the moonlight casting shadow and come across a particular house where they all stop short. The outside of the home is black, enclosed within a tall fence. The kind of house where nightmares are made of. The porch light is on, yet flickering. Jack-o-lanterns at the doorway are scarier than usual, nails used as teeth, just terrifying stuff. But our little trick or treater isn't worried. All her friends have stopped just short of this nightmare but she puffs her chest out and walks right up to the front door, this will be her biggest candy haul yet.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
No answer.
She's determined to get that candy.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
Still no answer.. but the door creeps open from the force of the knocking. The group of kids behind her all gasp and call out not to go in. Little L isn't scared though. She might be the quiet one of her group, barely wanted around, but she's not afraid of a black nightmare house. She slowly pushes the door open, peeking inside - it's dark. Very dark. A low purple glow comes from under a distant door, otherwise it's pitch black in here. On top of that, there's no candy visible. Determined, little L sneaks her way through the dark home to the glow-lined door. She slowly opens it and peeks in, only to have the door slammed out of her hands! She jumps back, startled. She's not giving up that easy, she opens the door again and beyond the doorway is something unimaginable. A room that looks like a dusty, broken down old cabin with a huge hole in the floor. Little L creeps around the hole and looks in, finding two bodies in the rubble. A man and a woman, both knocked out cold, the woman laying across the chest of the man. Little L rummages around looking for candy when she notices movement in the hole. Both their eyes open at the same time, yellow glow emanating from them! They raise up without even touching the ground, little L shrieks in terror, lunging for the door but the woman grabs her ankle! L kicks at the woman and she eventually breaks free and turns to run for the door which is being blocked by the man! He picks L up and hurls her across the hole into the wall, slamming into it and sending dust flying!
Little L is hurt but not beat, she jukes left but goes right, sending the woman and man careening into each other with the force of NFL players! They explode into dust themselves as L exits the room and the door slams shut. A purple arrow on the door points upstairs. Unwavering, little L sneaks up the steps, making sure they won't fall or make noise.
She gets upstairs and it met with a fences in square that has a candy bowl in it. But there's no way in and no way out. She runs up to the cage and shakes the wall, trying to get in to no avail. Beside the cage is a broom, which she picks up and puts the handle through the fencing, trying to knock the bowl over so she can put her small hand in and get a piece of candy. The broom is just barely too short. As little L pulls the handle out, it gets caught. She turns to see what it is, and a giant purple monster has the broom handle in its mouth! The beast is on all fours, ugly and rather large. The broom handle snaps in its jowls! Little L falls down and the monster leaps toward the steel cage wall, slamming into it and sending green ooze drool all over L's body. The sticky substance slinks off her, as she surveys the scene, looking for a way to get that candy.
The hero of our story circles the cage, the purple beast following her every move. Soon she begins jogging, making the beast turn faster, running now, faster and faster, until the beast goes for the killshot! He knocks over the candy bowl sending treats everywhere! L grabs up a couple and smiles at the beast, who did himself in. His goal is now all over the floor thanks to his own exuberance. The beast turns around a few times before laying down, defeated. Little L opens a piece of candy and takes a bit but spits it out near immediately, she throws it down and grunts in disgust. Truly a victory that left a bad taste in her mouth, she didn't earn it, she just lucked into it.
The quest for candy continues, little L heads back downstairs and goes to leave out the front door but it slams shut as well, she turns to see a dark figure clad in black and purple. He smiles a toothy grin and a glimpse of his fangs are seen. Little L marches right at him and she reaches out to grasp only a blackened mist. He materialized behind her and scoops her up onto his shoulders, she's facing the roof, he drops her down on her head! Instantly she's teleported outside the home. She lands in a thud next to the group of kids who had been waiting for her with baited breath. Little L gets up, groggy but with it, and she walks with purpose right back toward the nightmare house. She kicks the door in to find a completely different set up. An open floor plan, the dark figure standing in the middle of it, and four coffins, one in each corner of the room. Little L slowly walks toward the middle of the room when the coffins all explode open and purple ghost-like demons pour out of them! Four of the creatures circle little L Verez, causing her to cower in fear. She begins openly weeping, tearing her mask off, revealing her true self within. The dark figure walks over to her, smiling, fangs out - he grabs the poor child by the throat and lifts her high into the air, licking his lips - and taking a big bite into her neck.
Outside, the house glows a purple hue, sending the group of kids running. Wall by wall, the house implodes in on itself until nothing stands. An empty lot remains, black mist spits up from the ground. The hopes and dreams of candy have died within the nightmare. The group of children scatter, running in different ways, likely running home - until they all converge on the same block. They all stop, all five of them, who all ran opposite ways ending up running into each other. They survey the scene, confused, scared, and the man with the fangs steps out of a shadow. They kids scream and one by one they're rounded up by the large purple beast. When they wake up, all six - back with their friend - are within the cage in the house. No escape. All have holes in their neck. The fanged man sits on a throne overlooking them, smiling, licking blood off his lip.
The Nightmare Chamber is set up and ready to go, enclosing the ring with tons and tons of steel. Corey Black is in the arena, inside the chamber, checking on everything to make sure it's all good. He checks the walls, they're sturdy. Nikki Venus walks down the ramp and comes in through the giant door, she enters the Nightmare Chamber for her first time.
Nikki Venus
This is what it'll take to end this? Bringing in your own creation?
Corey Black
She just won't die, Nikki. This is finally it. She's got no chance in here against me. The souls this structure has taken will scream as I add another to its long list.
Nikki Venus
Then after this match, you need to go. Get away from Action Wrestling, this place has done nothing but ignite something in you we thought was long dead.
Corey Black
My passion for the sport has never died, Nikki. That's all this is. I want to finally put this to bed, no more playing games, no more cabins or steel cages, L's final resting place will be the rhing of Nightmares.
Nikki Venus
I just don't get it. She beat you in the cabin, she beat you in the cage, she-
Corey puts his hand to cover Nikki's mouth. She stops short.
Corey Black
L Verez has never BEAT me. She's gotten victories, but she has never put me down by her own hand. To get the win in this, she has to do it herself. She has to make me say she's the better person or else it won't end.
Nikki Venus
Alright, Corey. Just don't do anything stupid. Or something you'll regret when you look back on this.
Corey Black
I'll regret not destroying her, Nikki. She thinks she's so fucking good, such a great wrestler because she runs with a crew of enablers that do nothing but hype each other up and fail. Maybe I'll get through to her this time, show her she doesn't need them to succeed - she just needs her luck and her wits.
Nikki Venus
So what is it, do you want to help her or destroy her?
Corey pauses. He looks around at the structure around him, he breathes in deep and sighs.
Corey Black
Both? I'll kill her so she can be reborn and live her own life.
Nikki Venus
So that's what it's all about, you can't believe someone is being held down by those around them?
Corey Black
I've seen it happen a million times, it's ridiculous. She's their puppy dog when she should be leading the pack.
Nikki Venus
You're going to try to eliminate L Verez just so she can open her eyes? It just might work.
Corey Black
It has to work. She's taken me to the limit time and time again, at some point you start to earn a measure of respect for the vessel. Believe me, I'm going to brutalize this bitch and absolutely try to break her, but in the end, I hope in a year or two when her body heals, she will not need the crutch of the Guardians to get her to where she wants to be.
Nikki Venus
Corey fuckin' Black, that's both the worst and best thing I've heard you ever say. You're an odd one.
Corey Black
Never said I wasn't, Nikki.
The two inside the ring high five then hug, both leaving the ring and the Chamber at the same time. They walk up the ramp and look down upon it, Nikki smiling but Corey snarling. Did he even fucking mean what he said?!
A dark room, Corey Black sitting alone against a wall. He sits stoic, near motionless, staring out into the darkened void of the room.
"Trick or treat, L. We finish this within a structure you may be familiar with, but with implications unlike anything you've seen. What began as nothing more than a man seeking competition, turned into a war that can only end one way. Submission or surrender. Your luck has finally run out. There's no landing on me and getting a three count. There is only suffering and destruction. You see, L, it didn't have to be this way. You could have turned around and done literally anything else. But you had to keep pushing, didn't you? You had to try to prove you're better than the King of All Wrestlers. And to your credit, you've yet to fully suffer my wrath. You sneak out here, somehow pull out win after win, only infuriating me. You're not better than I am, Verez, you're simply in the right place at the right time. That physically cannot happen within the Nightmare Chamber. Your fate is sealed within the demonic structure, the confines created by Satan himself. I will drain your blood and use your lifeless carcass as a welcome mat for the next unfortunate soul that dares cross my path.
World Championships have changed hands within the Nightmare Chamber, feuds have ended, companies have battled, but never has something so personal been contested. You could do so much better if you'd just believe in yourself all the time the way you believe in yourself when you fight me, L. You should be at the top of this card against everyone, not just with me name attached to it, but here we are. Your priorities are in helping your friends instead of helping yourself. So here I am, to help you by destroying you. You cannot rebuild if you think you're fine. You're not fine, you took me out of contention for All-In with my own sword, the least honorable thing anyone could ever do. It was in that moment I knew you have what it takes to lead, but you lack the know-how. You don't know how to get there without leaping on the Guardian spaceship. And so, I set out to humble you. Show you that you are not only one of the best, but you're able to be beat. You have to take the lumps on your way to the top. I was nearly killed time and time again before I was finally able to look at the people around me in the light I look at them now. They're all beneath me. They're all beneath you. And when I nearly kill you this time, L, you'll see. Your eyes will be wide open. My mission is to end you, but a byproduct of that will make you better. As you are now, you're a stain on the mat, but when you rehabilitate your mind and body, you will be a bright, shining star in the sky.
Never fucking forget who got you there.
The days are getting shorter, night runs longer and longer, soon the daylight will only be a fleeting moment as darkness consumes all and the winter will be fully set in. Hopes and dreams similar. Your window is all but close, L, and my foot is firmly on your throat. You're choking. You are suffocated by the pressure of the Chamber. On the outside you show no signs of doubt, but being honest with yourself, take the mask off and look at what is in front of you.
I will end your current fairytale. You will enter the Chamber and exit reborn. We're finished after this, not because the rules of wrestling dictate a trilogy ends, but because I will make goddamn sure you're never the same after this. At first it will seem like you've changed for the worst, but as time passes, the wounds heal, you'll be better for it. You may think you have it all figured out, but by GOD you have no idea. You've yet to see the worst I can bring, little L, and to save you, I'll destroy you."
Corey smiles, fangs protruding out from his lips. Hard cut to black.
They head toward a dark part of the street, trees covering the moonlight casting shadow and come across a particular house where they all stop short.
