(The scene fades in. The last time we joined the threesome, they were inside the 2000 black Range Rover, cruising down the PCH. Now, it's getting dark, it's dusk, if you will. The sky is the color twilight. The scene comes into focus and what you see before you is a large warehouse building. Skarrphace is standing alone in front of the building. The building itself has no markings that you can visibly see. Skarrphace turns to the cameraman and the reporter and motions them to follow. Skarrphace then turns back towards the building and starts to climb the steps towards the front door. The cameraman and reporter instinctively follow him. As Skarrphace gets to the door, he stops, then taking a deep breath, bangs on the large metal frame door. The sound echos off the metal inside the building and reverberates back to him. The sound seems to go on forever. Then, someone slides a panel about eye level on the door. A pair of eyes scan the situation. After about 2 seconds, the panel slides shut and you can hear the person on the other end unlocked multiple door locks. Then the door slides open and Skarrphace enters. Again, the reporter and cameraman instinctively follow. Once inside, the little light that was outside is gone, and the door is slammed to and the person who opened the door begins relocking the large entrance. The first thing the cameraman senses about the building is it's odor. Not a smell....but an odor, almost a stench. Suddenly, from across the warehouse, another door swings open and a man walks out. You can't see much of the man other than the figure, but then he speaks and his voice echos throughout the building like a siren.)


Unknown Man: Skarrphace, is that you?


Skarrphace: It is me, Master Rudolph. I have brought guests.


Master Rudolph: Then, come. We have much to discuss. Do not delay.


(Skarrphace immediately begins walking toward the figure. The cameraman and reporter hurriedly try and catch up. The camera is shaking uncontrollably as they do so. As they near Master Rudolph, he reaches and flips on a switch, and some light begins to creep in from a few lights on the ceiling of the building. From what you can see of Master Rudolph, he doesn't stand any taller than 6 feet tall and he couldn't weigh more than 230 pounds. Skarrphace stops in front of the man, and the two embrace. Then, Rudolph turns around and opens the door he was standing in front of and he and Skarrphace enter. Skarrphace holds the door open for a moment, motioning for the reporter and cameraman to enter. They do. Again, darkness. Then, a light. The light from a desklamp illuminates the room. Skarrphace sits down in a chair in front of Rudolph, while Rudolph mans the chair in behind the desk. The cameraman and reporter continue to stand.)


Master Rudolph: My friend, I hope life is treating you fairly.


Skarrphace: I cannot complain, Master Rudolph. You received my message as to why I had to come see you.


Master Rudolph: I did. I am puzzled, however. Why are you concerned with this man who calls himself XTC? He does not seem to be half the man that you are.


Skarrphace: I am confident I will destroy him at Wicked Wednesday. But I wanted him to see exactly how I was taught and how I was trained, so that he knows the ways I can destroy him.


Master Rudolph: Ah....would Mr. XTC be watching this footage then?


Skarrphace: For his own protection, I hope...*chuckles*


Master Rudolph: Mr. XTC, you must understand that you have no hope of winning against this man. I have taught him in many aspects of fighting. Shoot wrestling, karate, submissionism. He is a master of all. There is nothing that you can do that he does not have a counter for. There is no punch that you can throw that he cannot recover from instantly. There is not a move you can perform that he does not have a reversal for. I have seen your work, XTC. I keep a close eye on my students wherever they may go, and I witnessed your actions on Saturday night. You are a coward. You have no honor. You attack people when they are not expecting it, and you think you are brave. My friend, you are crazy-brave and very stupid to think you have a chance against this man, this Skarrphace. He is the Legendary Wrestling International Champion for one reason....and one reason only. Because Skarrphace is the perfect machine, he can take out anyone at anytime. There is no task too large, no opponent too dominating, that Skarrphace cannot handle him. Who are you to think you have even a chance against this man? I fear for your safety at Wicked Wednesday. I fear for your very livelihood. Remember to count your blessings before you go to bed Tuesday night. They may be your last.


Skarrphace: Another has decided to call my name....I am puzzled by this because I have said or done nothing against this man, this man who calls himself Spice Dogg....he has said much about me, and I wonder where he gets his information. Surely he has seen how quickly I have risen to the top of the LW rankings. Surely you have seen what I am capable of, but you don't seem to understand who exactly you're dealing with. So remember this, when you're walking around the backstage area Wednesday night....you had better grow eyes in the back of your head. You had better learn to look over both shoulders. Because you have called the name of Skarrphace out....and once you do that, there is no turning back until you are eliminated. So watch your back....because you have signed your death certificate when you called me out.....


Master Rudolph: They will learn, my friend. They will learn in time that there is no hope in facing you. And when they do, it will be yours to control.


Skarrphace: Thank you, Master Rudolph. For now, however, I must go. I am meeting The Awesome One for dinner tonight to discuss some things. I will keep you updated, as always, on this. Until then?


Master Rudolph: Until then....


(Master Rudolph gets up and shakes Skarrphace's hand as Skarrphace stands up to leave. He turns around and heads towards the door swiftly. As the cameraman and reporter rush to follow him out, the battery on the camera begins to run out as the scene fades out. The last thing you see is the large entrance door to the warehouse opening again, and the darkness of the California night has set in as the moon comes into view. The scene then fades to complete darkness.)
