Segment: Friends forever? (Credit: BK London)
BK London has finally caught up with Liljakie, and the two are engaged in an intense discussion in their locker room.
Jakie: London I still can't believe you made that stipulation to your match. I mean what will happen to us, we promised each other that we would be a tag team forever in ACW.
London: Now Jakie, I have to do this for myself. Maybe this stipulation will push me to actually win the match. But get off this subject we have a match tonight.
Jakie: No, I won't get off of this subject. London we are best friends and I won't have you leave.
London: Listen, if I happen to lose I know you can survive by yourself. You are a former World Champion, I think you will do fine in the singles competition. Or you will just have to........ find another partner.
London leaves the room teary eyed as Jakie looks at him very puzzled. Jakie doesn't know what to do now, but he realises he has to focus because his match is up next.
In the corridor, BK wipes the water from his eyes; as he steps forward he collides with AK, who has been waiting for him to come out.
AK: Ah, just the man I wanted to see. Latino told me what you said to him on the roof.
London: Oh, so you two really do share everything. Well I’ve made my mind up; this is just something I have to do.
AK: Oh I understand that, BK, I just wanted to remind you that you have some way to go before you beat my record.
London: Eh? I don’t understand…..
AK (smiling): For consecutive losses, BK, my record for losses. Believe me, the figure’s scorched into my mind; at one point in GFWWE I went seven matches without a single win. There were times during that period when I was ready to walk away, to pack it all in……but it was my friends who kept me going, they never stopped supporting me the whole time. That support was incredibly important to me BK, and I just wanted you to know that you’re not alone either. Ginger believes in you, or he wouldn’t have asked you to help him before the PPV, and you know that Jakie will always be behind you, as will many others. I know it’s none of my business, but you’d be a fool to throw that away.
With that, AK spins around and walks away, leaving BK to his thoughts once more.
Fade out.

Match 6: Brian Carnage vs Jack Fury
The fans have already welcomed 4 new faces to ACW, and they get set to meet a 5th as Philip gets up to do his stuff.
Philip: Ladies and Gentlemen, this next match is set for a single fall………introducing first, from Greenock Scotland, making his ACW debut – Brian Carnage!
”Duality” by Slipknot hits, and Carnage comes out to meet his first ACW crowd. He waves and acknowledges their cheers, and this instantly earns him an amount of extra goodwill from the fans as he steps into the ring and begins to stretch and warm up.
“I am” hits, and the crowd is already booing and shouting as Fury enters the arena……..
Philip: And his opponent, also from Greenock Scotland, the ACW Junior title holder…..Jack Fury!
Fury scowls as he stalks down to ringside; he glares at Carnage but his friend is not intimidated and stares right back. The tension between them is palpable, and the referee quickly takes Jack’s belt and gets the match started without delay.
Bell Rings.
Fury has no intention of engaging in a long, drawn out match; he goes immediately on the attack with a burst of rapid punches that drive Carnage back to the ropes. Carnage is taken by surprise but he recovers his senses and fights back, pushing Fury back a little way and then springing from the top rope into a hurricanrana. Fury is not expecting a high flying move so early in the match and is caught off guard; Carnage makes a cover but Fury pushes him away before the referee is even in a position to start counting. The pair lock together and Fury quickly overcomes Carnage, shifting into position to german - suplex him; he moves around into position for a normal suplex and adds a pinning hold at the end, which Carnage struggles free from just before a count of 2. Fury continues his assault; Carnage tries to whip Fury but it is reversed and Carnage runs into a Big Boot on his return. Fury pins again and receives an identical 2 count. Carnage rolls back to his feet and dashes to a corner; he demonstrates his willingness to take risks with a huge swanton that has enough force to drive Fury back down to the ground as he approaches the corner and draws an audible exclamation from the audience. Carnage stays on the mat for a pin attempt, but Fury busts out before 2. Carnage and Fury both rise and circle once more; Carnage smiles and goads Fury, taunting him and raising his anger further. Fury snaps and charges at Carnage, who neatly sidesteps and then cheekily kicks Fury in the posterior as he dives headlong out of the ring through the ropes.
Carnage laughs at Fury as he sprawls on the outside crash mats; he launches into a Plancha aimed directly at Fury, but Fury recovers far more quickly than Carnage has anticipated and he manages to catch his opponent in mid – move before nailing a swift and painful DDT on to the metal entrance ramp. Carnage reels, and Fury angrily grabs him by the hair before proceeding to drive his head against anything to hand – the security barriers, the apron, and even the steel steps to the ring. The crowd boos Fury intensely, but this just increases Fury’s enjoyment and he flips them off before smashing Carnage’s head against the ring post. Carnage though sees a chance to turn the tide, and he grabs on to the post so that Fury cannot pull him away. Fury is annoyed and steps directly behind Carnage so that he can use both hands to prise his opponent off. As soon as he is close enough, Carnage kicks out behind him and scores a low blow on Fury without the referee seeing it; Fury screws up his face in pain and leaves himself open to attack by Carnage. Carnage kicks out at Fury and lands a succession of blows before whipping Fury into the steel steps; the impact disassembles the steps and Fury tumbles painfully over the pieces. The referee’s count is becoming urgent and Carnage rolls back into the ring; swearing at both the cheering crowd and his opponent Fury pulls himself back up to the ring just in time to avoid an embarrassing disqualification.
Fury is fed up with Carnage’s continuing resistance, and he steps up his game to demonstrate his credentials as Junior title holder. Fury traps Carnage in a corner and his Triple – H style punches do great damage to his opponent; Fury follows through with a Stinger splash and Carnage slumps down to the ground. Fury hits a straight piledriver and pins; Carnage responds after 2.5 but he is obviously being affected by the sustained assault. Fury doesn’t let up in his attacks; more punching leads into a Fury Effect (evenflow DDT) and Carnage struggles to get his shoulder clear of the canvas before the 3 count. The crowd shouts and calls for Carnage as Fury verbally rips into him, taunting him and slapping him about the face for his bravado; Carnage is very angry at being disrespected by his former friend and he fights back, countering Fury’s next attack and landing a double underhook DDT. Both Fury and Carnage are driven on by anger; Fury floors Carnage with a Yakuza kick but Carnage is straight back up and responds with a mighty Dragonwhip. Carnage tries to capitalise but Fury summons all his power and swings his fist for a crushing right hook; Carnage’s legs buckle from the shock of the impact and Fury lifts him for the Fury Bomb. As he holds him however Carnage fights back and forces Fury to drop him; he springs against the ropes and rushes forward, jumping to meet Fury and executing his Carnage Buster (X – Factor) with precision timing. As the pair hit the mat Carnage rolls Fury over and then quickly rolls him up; Fury is too dazed and disorientated to realise what has happened until he hears the bell ringing for a successful 3 count.
Philip: Here is your winner……..Brian Carnage!
Quick as a flash, Carnage exits the ring; Fury springs back to his feet and his expression is a mix of shock and rage at Carnage’s snatched victory. Carnage isn’t about to hang about and wait for Fury to beat him down; he pauses briefly at the top of the entrance way to salute the crowd and flip off Fury before retreating into the safety of the backstage area. The crowd is delighted to see Fury take a fall at last, and they jeer him as he stalks back up the ramp; Fury though gives them as good as he gets, and he taunts the crowd with the belt as he leaves the arena.

Segment: Hope Springs Eternal (Credit: White Rose)
Rose walks back to the empty Demon’s Pit after her match, sad, angry, and disappointed. She does not sit in Ridley’s throne, but on the floor of the Pit.
Rose: The Journey is over, to think it ended like this. I should have gone to help him the moment he and Latino went backstage. It is my fault this happened.
The door opens slowly and RDK enters the room. He has a sad look on his face, the look brought about by the loss of a friend.
Rose: What are you doing here RDK? Why are you not with your new found old friend BladeShadow.?
RDK: I was walking by and I overheard what you said. Rose, Ridley was my best friend in this business, all the time we had together, I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. He was a good and loyal friend. Don’t blame yourself for what happened. Ridley, even though he could never find a way to say it, he…..he loved you too Rose.
Rose begins to look sad again, but she does not cry. After a few seconds of deep thought, Rose and RDK stand up and get ready to exit the Demon’s Pit for the final time. Before they can, Druid #2 enters the room holding a Golden Ankh, the same one which he was seen clutching at the start of the show.
Rose: #2, what are you doing here? I told you, you are free to go.
Druid #2: Mistress Kaesar, there is not much time to explain. Lord Ridley had foreseen all of this. In his last few days, he foresaw the future. He knew that the chain of events had been set in motion and could not be stopped. Hours before the beginning of Seven Deadly Sins, he created this.
Druid #2 holds up the Golden Ankh and it shines brightly.
Druid #2: This Ankh contains the power to revive Lord Ridley. Please take it. Rose, I am sure Lord Ridley taught you a chant, didn’t he?
Rose: Yes, he did, he said that you taught it to him many years ago.
Druid #2: Yes I did, It is a very special chant. Use it with this Ankh at the Ridley’s grave site, his wounds will heal, and his soul will return to him.
RDK: But #2 why, why do you of all people want to resurrect Ridley?
Druid #2: Serving Lord Ridley has been my purpose in life for many years now, I will not forsake him like the others. Beware, they will try to stop you.
Rose: Let them try. RDK will you come with me?
RDK: Well this all sounds weird as hell, but yes Rose, yes I will.
Rose and RDK exit the room; Druid #2 stays behind and it looks as if a large weight has been lifted from his shoulders. The camera shows Rose and RDK running through the parking lot, they jump in RDK’s rental car and speed off. After a few seconds there is an almighty and terrifyingly familiar horn blast, and the camera shows the black 18 wheeler, driven by the disloyal druids, pull out from behind the arena and set off in hot pursuit.
Fade Out.

Match 7: Top Draw (BK London & Liljakie) v Venomous (Venom & Spider)
As match 7 approaches, the crowd is anxious to see whether BK London can finally put a stop to his losing streak. “Warrior” by Lloyd Banks is already starting to play as Philip goes to work.
Philip: This will be a tag team match, set for one fall. Entering the arena first, from Brooklyn New York………BK London!
BK walks out swiftly into the arena lights; the crowd is still of a mixed opinion but the majority of the calls he hears are now supportive. BK slides into the ring and warms up as he waits for his partner.
Numb by Linkin Park hits, and BK cheers with the rest of the crowd as Liljakie appears on the stage.
Philip: And his partner, the second half of Top Draw…….from Dover NH, Liljakie!
Jakie greets the crowd, but he is not slow to reach the ring and he stands shoulder to shoulder with BK as they face the entrance.
Transform by Powerman 500 hits, and Spider stalks out on to the stage to a mass of boos. [/i]
Philip: And their opponents, first from San Diego California, he is the ACW Entertainment Title holder……..Spider!
Spider walks down the ramp, flaunting his title belt and flipping off the crowd; he climbs into the ring and taunts BK and Jakie, who keep their emotions in check and stare him down coolly.
Tonight by Staind hits, and everyone waits for the last participant to show himself.
Philip: And finally, the second half of Venomous…….from Las Vegas Nevada, Venom!
Venom’s entrance music and video play, but no one enters the arena. Everyone looks confused, and finally the house lights come back on; the referee consults with the timekeeper and then speaks to Philip.
Philip: Ladies and Gentlemen, it would appear that we have a no – show on the part of Venom. Therefore this contest will go ahead in a modified format, as a handicap match.
Spider tries to protest but the referee is having none of it and he hands the belt to Philip who takes it with him as he leaves the ring. Spider takes a last glance at the ramp, and his major annoyance with Venom is coloured by a feeling of deep unease and concern for his partner. Nevertheless Spider is still determined to win the match, and he draws himself up to full height as Jakie and BK decide who will start. BK steps forward, and he and Spider stare one another out as the referee finally signals for the match to begin.
Bell Rings.
Spider smirks at BK and continues to taunt him over his PPV loss, but BK knows that he cannot allow his rival to distract him and he dodges Spider’s first attempted strikes to land a couple of blows of his own. The pair scrap for a few moments and circle the ring before Spider gets lucky and manages to close in on BK enough for a suplex. BK gets right back up and responds with a swift DDT, but Spider too is on his feet easily enough. BK, although a strong man, does not have the raw power of Spider so he has to think carefully; as he just avoids another swinging right hook from his opponent he has a flash of inspiration, and he takes hold of Spider’s right arm before twisting it painfully behind his back. Spider grits his teeth as BK wrenches his arm, pulling and aiming kicks at the joint simultaneously for as much damage as possible; Spider spins around and tries to hit BK, but BK is alert and he jumps back out of range. As Spider clutches his arm BK makes a tag to Jakie, not because of fatigue but because the pair have decided that short, sharp bursts are the best way to keep their opponent guessing about what they will have to deal with next. Spider instinctively punches out at Jakie with his right arm, but this causes a wave of searing pain to shoot along it and Spider does not deliver the blow with his full force. Jakie sees a gap in Spider’s armour and he rebounds from the ropes into a spear, catching Spider out and driving him to the mat; Jakie leaps up on to the turnbuckle in a single bound and delivers a flying elbow drop to Spider’s neck. Jakie pins Spider, and his reward is a 2 count; With no partner to tag to Spider is in trouble, but he is not ready to give up and he stands back up, fully intending to teach Top Draw that he is not a man to be crossed.
Spider is not as fond of attacking with his left hand, but he still has more than enough power in it to cause Jakie serious problems. Jakie staggers from the force of Spider’s blows, and Spider hits a powerbomb before covering. Jakie kicks out at 2, and Spider uses a full nelson slam followed quickly by whipping his dazed opponent and nearly taking his head off with a massive clothesline. Spider pins once more and Jakie gets a shoulder up at 2.5. Spider is making progress and he scoops Jakie up for a DVD, but BK shouts out to his partner and Jakie responds, bucking in Spider’s grip until he is forced to let him go. Jakie hurtles over to his corner and switches back to BK, who leaps into the ring; BK is travelling at speed as he runs into Spider and he pushes him all the way back into the corner; he lets fly with a barrage of shots, using the ropes to get the height he needs to attack Spider’s head and upper body. Spider’s head spins, but he responds by wrapping his arms around BK and clasping him in a bear hug, walking forward out of the corner and trying to crush all the air out of BK’s lungs. BK still tries to attack Spider and the two wear each other down; BK’s blows get weaker, but Spider is becoming disorientated from the repeated head shots and he inadvertently strays close to Jakie on the apron. Jakie takes a chance and calls to BK; BK twists in Spider’s grip and Jakie just manages to touch his hand. The referee sees the touch and allows the tag; Jakie rockets into the ring and starts attacking Spider from behind as the referee orders him to drop BK. Spider does let BK go, but mainly so he can deal with Jakie; BK rolls out of the ring as Jakie and Spider meet in the centre of the ring once more.
Spider is becoming frustrated; every time he comes close to wearing his opponents down, they switch places and force him to start once more. Spider realises that decisive action is needed, and he chains together a variety of suplexes, each time ensuring that he is between Jakie and BK. Spider pins Jakie, and gets a count of 2.5; satisfied that stage 1 of his plan has been successful he produces his most powerful moves, forcing back the pain in his right arm to nail his “Spider Bite” (Powerbobmb to DDT). Another pin, and Jakie is almost spent, just managing to weakly raise an arm before 3. On the turnbuckle BK sees the danger, and he starts to clap and stamp on the apron, whipping up the crowd; BK is also feeling the combined effects of the match and he knows that if he successfully tags that the match will rest on his shoulders; Jakie does not have enough in reserve for another switch. The cheers from the crowd help Jakie to snap out of his dazed state, and as Spider moves in on him to finish him off he counters with a whip to the corner and immediately follows through with a turnbuckle splash. Spider is facing into the ring and slumps down into a sitting position; with a salute to the fans Jakie runs in and hits his Bronco Buster. The audience have given Jakie a brief surge of energy, but his aching limbs and head tell him that it is time to get out, and Jakie entrusts the match to BK as they tag for the final time. Spider is on his feet, and BK can tell that his efforts to put Jakie away have cost him dearly; BK and Spider lock together, and BK focuses in on his previous work on Spider’s arm, giving it another wrench to distract his opponent with the pain. Summoning all his strength, BK lifts Spider for his explicit action (suplex to RKO) and the ring shakes; BK pins, and Spider just responds before 3. BK rolls back to his feet and waits for the perfect moment to act; as Spider gets up and is kneeling on one knee BK runs up and launches for an awesome shining wizard, a true “final shot”. The numbers game has caught up with Spider, and BK pins with a hooked leg; the referee count 1,2, and his hand slaps the canvas for 3 just milliseconds before Spider breaks free.
Philip: Here are your winners……..Top Draw!
BK jumps to his feet and throws his arms in the air; Spider gets back up and glares, but with Jakie also entering the ring to congratulate his friend he resists his urge to attack further and retreats to the locker rooms, holding up his belt defiantly. In the ring, BK looks around and listens to the cheers that are now unequivocally in his favour, and he almost feels a physical load being lifted from his shoulders. BK raises Jakie’s hand and encourages the crowd, who do not hesitate to cheer him as well; then together the pair make their way back to the locker rooms to celebrate their first ACW victories further.

Match 8: Bladeshadow vs V3
The crowd may not approve of PDogg’s method for booking matches, but no one can deny that the upcoming contest is one which many people have speculated upon at length, and the fans debate amongst themselves the likely outcome as Philip enters the ring.
Philip: This match has been set for one fall………..introducing first, from Las Vegas Nevada, the ACW International Champion – V3!
”Git Up” hits, and V3 paces out into the spotlight for his first match as a champion, the international belt displayed proudly around his waist. The fans whoop and cheer him, and V3 responds by waving back as he comes down to ringside.
“The Game” by Drowning Pool blasts from the sound system, and Bladeshadow cuts an impressive figure as he approaches the ring.
Philip: And his opponent, from Upstate New York………..he is the reigning ACW World Champion – Bladeshadow!
Blade climbs into the ring to a storm of cheering and support; he climbs the turnbuckles and shows off his belt before returning to the centre of the ring. The referee takes the belts from the participants, and Blade shakes hands with V3 in an affirmation of their friendship before they begin to circle and the referee gestures for the match to begin.
Bell Rings.
V3 doesn’t hang about; he runs straight in and tries to tackle Blade to the floor, causing Blade to have to dodge quickly to the side. V3 hits the ropes and cannons straight back; Blade swings a mighty kick but V3 anticipates and drops into a sliding tackle that chops Blade’s other leg from under him. Blade falls to the mat and V3 hops back up before somersaulting from a standing position to land on top of Blade; Blade’s shoulders are down and V3 tries to hold him, but Blade easily pushes V3 away before the 2 count. Both men get back to their feet, and they exchange blows; Blade has more power in both feet and fists, but V3 has watched his friend training countless times and the rhythms of his attacks are well known to him, helping V3 to avoid the most dangerous shots. V3 sidesteps Blade’s attacks, and then when the opportunity presents itself he goes for a whip into the corner. Blade though reverses this and runs in to drive his shoulder against V3’s chest; using his exceptional agility V3 comes straight back out of the corner and produces a huge “leapfrog” over the top of Blade to escape. Blade manages to stop just short of the post, spins on one foot and charges back; this time V3 does not have time to evade and Blade clotheslines him to the floor. V3 springs back up to his feet, but Blade is ready and V3 receives a powerful fisherman’s suplex. Blade completes the trio of moves with a powerbomb and immediately pins; the crowd is torn over who to support and there are both cheers and groans when V3 breaks out just after the 2 count.
V3 is aware that he is outgunned on pure power, so he decides to take a more indirect approach to dealing with Blade. As the two rise back to their feet V3 urges Blade to pursue him, gently ribbing him with comments along the lines of “no wonder that championship match was so bloody long, you couldn’t catch a cold moving like that”. Blade raises his eyebrows, but he still falls for his friend’s trick; he charges toward V3 who is close to the ropes, and V3 counters the attempted attack with a back body drop that sends Blade up and over the ropes to land heavily on the outside. Without pausing V3 leaps up on to the top rope and springboards off into a moonsault, crashing down on to Blade before he has any chance to roll clear. Both V3 and Blade take a few seconds to get back up from the move, and on standing V3 lands a couple of body chops on Blade before swiftly retreating around the side of the ring. Blade is a little dazed from the fall and so he tries to pursue without thinking about what V3 is up to; V3 smiles as he flits just out of Blade’s reach, trying to wear down his reserves of energy which V3 hopes are still depleted after 7DS. This, however, is a risky strategy, and it backfires badly on V3 when Blade produces a sudden burst of speed to catch up to V3 and whip him hard against the ring post. V3 hits back – first and pain shoots up his spine; Blade capitalises on this by hitting a backbreaker against his own knee to further increase the damage. With V3 clutching at his back, Blade rolls his opponent back into the ring and covers; the count reaches 2.5 before V3 kicks out. V3 grimaces as he gets back up, but he has a further plan; as Blade approaches he grasps his arm and twists for an over the shoulder arm drag that floors Blade. Once Blade hits the canvas, V3 keeps hold of his arm and grabs the opposite leg; now Blade is the one who suffers as V3 shifts into position and applies his Invertigo hold.
Blade is some distance from the ropes and the nature of the hold makes it difficult for him to move; The crowd is roaring for V3 now and some of his more ardent fans are shouting “Tap! Tap!” with gusto. Blade however has no intention of doing so; he breathes deeply, forces the immediate pain from his mind and then unleashes his strength in a single explosive fit of struggle, so intense that V3 eventually has to release him or risk injury to his own limbs. Blade rolls away and the crowd’s cheers and support for both men lifts them both and gives them new energy. Blade stuns V3 with a kick and then climbs the ropes for the Thor’s hammer, but V3 shakes the stars from his vision and chases after him. V3 attacks from behind, hammering at Blade’s back; he forces Blade to turn around and defend himself, which gives V3 the window of opportunity he needs for a swift Superplex. The impact as both men land shakes the ring, and V3 pulls himself over to Blade for a cover; he hooks the leg, but Blade still manages to break out at 2.5. V3 leg drops on to Blade’s chest, and as the crowd roars he takes to the corner himself for the Ragin’ Azn. V3 leaps off with amazing height to his jump, but Blade has been anticipating his partner’s famous move and he manages to roll so that V3 only partially connects with him. V3 pins once more, but again Blade manages to escape just before the 3 count can be given. V3 is tiring now and he looks to end the match; he lifts up the heavier Blade and prepares for the dominator. Blade though is ready and waiting, and as V3 tries to lift him he struggles free. Before V3 can think about evasion or a counter move, Blade scoops him up and without hesitating lands the Lights of Orion; the crowd roars and waits for the inevitable count – 1,2,thr – no! Blade and the entire crowd are shocked as V3’s shoulder somehow lifts off of the mat. Blade is genuinely astonished at his Tag partner’s fortitude, and decides that he will have to repeat the move; he lifts V3 once more, but this time it is V3 that manages to escape. V3 drops down behind Blade and jumps incredibly high to hit a standing dropkick to the back of his head; Blade staggers and sinks down on to his knees. With the crowd going mental V3 uses the last reserves of his energy to drag himself to the corner; everyone yells for the Ragin’ Azn once more but V3 has a final card to play. Drawing on his hours of training with his close friend, V3 lifts off………and strikes with a Thor’s Hammer, Blade’s very own legendary finisher. The move that has spelled disaster for many a wrestler is no less effective on its creator, and V3 covers Blade; the arena roof is almost displaced by the storm of sound as the referee counts 1-2-3.
Philip: Here is your winner……..V3!
V3 rolls off of Blade and stays there for a few moments, letting the reality of what he has achieved sink in. Blade sits up and breathes deeply; V3 looks anxiously over at his friend, but Blade smiles and the two shake hands before standing back up. Blade raises V3’s hand in the air, and V3 looks almost tearful at the standing ovation the crowd are giving to both men; the referee hands their belts back and the pair leave the ring together, their friendship not only intact but stronger than ever before.

Segment: The Resurrection of Ridley (Credit: White Rose / AK)
The last match is completed, but the show is not over and the fans somehow know it; not a single person leaves their seat and after a few moments the Titantron flares into life, showing a helicopter tracking shot of a small blue car speeding along the freeway……..
The hatchback weaves in and out of the traffic, breaking the speed limit and startling other drivers. A horn blast is heard, and the 18 wheeler begins to edge into the shot, slowly closing in on its prey. Other cars are forced to swerve as the huge truck bears down on the small vehicle; suddenly the car cuts across 4 lanes of traffic and dives down an exit lane. The truck skids and knocks other cars aside as it just narrowly avoids jack-knifing, but the little car is low on power and the mighty 18 wheeler is soon right back on their tail. The chase cuts through suburbs before heading out into more open country; only the lights and silhouettes of the vehicles can now be seen in the darkness, but the truck is getting dangerously close and the horn sounds over and over again. The truck close right up on the car and rams it; the car speeds up to its maximum velocity but even this is not enough, and the truck rams it again. Just when it looks like the truck will run the blue car off the road, the car abruptly swerves and 2 figures bail out as the car smashes sideways into the stone gateway of a cemetery. The 18 wheeler smashes straight into the abandoned vehicle and a fireball erupts; the druids driving the truck quickly make their escape and the helicopter rapidly descends to land on an ornamental lawn just inside the cemetery gates. The ACW camera crews leap out and rush to the crash scene; Rose and RDK have managed to escape any injury and they stand together a few feet from the entrance.
Rose: RDK, are you still in one piece?
RDK: Yeah, but heck Alexandra, that’s the last time I let you drive my car!
Rose and RDK turn their attention to the 2 druids who were driving the truck; from the back of the vehicle there is a slamming sound as the doors are thrown open, and all the rest of the druids (excluding #2) clamber out. They are dressed in their street clothes, and all are armed with crowbars and baseball bats. Druid#1 comes to the front and is obviously the ringleader.
Druid #1: You all know what our former tormentors are trying to do, and what will happen to every one of us if they succeed. Do whatever you have to do to stop them, our very lives and freedom depends upon it.
The druids grip their weapons tightly and start to advance.
Rose: No, no, we are so close……..I will not let you keep Lord Ridley and I apart!
Rose takes up a fighting stance but RDK puts a hand on her shoulder.
RDK: You go on ahead Rose, I can hold them off long enough for you to resurrect Ridley.
Rose looks at the malevolent horde and feels a twinge of fear for RDK, but she nods and runs into the cemetery. The druids move to follow but RDK blocks their path and a violent battle breaks out. RDK fights valiantly, cracking heads and taking many druids down, but slowly they overwhelm him……
A second camera crew has followed Rose into the cemetery, and the shot switches to show her standing at the foot of a freshly filled grave. Rose kneels, kisses the ankh for luck, and then places it on the grave as she begins to softly chant.
Rose: Analathra Deus Van Dienday. Analathra Deus Van Dienday………..
Thunder begins to rumble in the sky above, and Rose’s chant swells and grows louder……..
Rose: Analathra Deus Van Dienday………..
The camera shot flashes back to RDK, who has been overwhelmed and is held down by six or seven druids; Druid #1 walks forward and addresses him.
Druid #1: Give me the Ankh, RDK and I will spare you and Rose a lot of suffering.
RDK (defiantly): I don’t have it, and even if I did I would never give it to a Jabroni like you!
Druid #1: Very well then, Ridley did teach me one worthwhile thing….Ridley taught me how to get results.
The thunder is almost constant now, and a powerful wind whips around the group; RDK spits in Druid #1’s face in defiance, and druid #1 wipes it away in disgust before kicking RDK in the gut. With a dark smile, Druid #1 raises a crowbar above his head and prepares to put an end to RDK once and for all……..
At the grave site, the atmosphere is now utterly eerie; a storm force wind blasts against Rose, and as the ankh glows and sinks down into the soil she screams her incantation one final time, throwing her hands to the sky and her head back……
Rose: ANALATHRA DEUS VAN DIENDAY!!
Another camera switch, and Druid #1 takes aim…….
Druid #1: Time to die RDK.
At that exact moment, a huge bolt of lightning streaks down and strikes the crowbar which druid #1 is holding, throwing him off of his feet to land a few metres away in a smoking heap. Simultaneously, a further bolt hits the plain tombstone of Ridley’s grave and blows it to bits, knocking Rose on to her back.
The lightning strike renders the other druids speechless, and afraid; RDK breaks free from his captors and is ready for a further fight, but all the other druids are staring at #1, who is howling pitifully from the agonising burns that have appeared all over his body. RDK turns and finds himself face to face with Rose; she has one or two cuts on her face from flying stone chips, but her face is alight with new hope and she smiles for the first time since the PPV.
RDK: What happened? Did it work? Where’s Ridley?
Rose: Ridley will come to us. I can feel him deep down in my soul, he is alive…….he is alive!
Rose’s spirit soars, and she finally realizes that the journey is not over…….but a new path has opened.
End of Show.
