The Prophet
and
The Sacrifice

Our own personal Armageddon.
The end and the beginning.

This is where it gets dicey.
It is so important right now to stay calm.
Stay calm and collected.

Heaven 2 Hell
Fight One Xperience
Will change forever.

Change you're too scared to believe in...
But it's true.

DIRTY GOD
"Michael the Prophet."

Mike Bessette...  You know I've been waiting for you--you know that right?  It is no coincidence that you're here.  Certainly no coincidence that you're a member of No Cash Value.  We've been waiting for the end of the world, you've been watching for it, I've been pursuing it.  You sir simply serve as my voice to the masses.  You warn them of my second coming.  You know now what comes next Mike Bessette.  You will be there finally face to face with your own undoing and you will cry apocalypse.  You will not walk out of Heaven 2 Hell the same man you were walking in.  Everything will change.

I wish to get a rise out of you, I wish to spell it out for you.  You had purpose Mike, in your predictions.  You had purpose in the fact that you could warn us all but all you have done is proven yourself as the "boy who cries wolf."  You insult everyone with your behavior and yet don't see the chicken scratch on the walls of that pit you have fallen into.

"The prophet must die for the prophecy to come true."

Self fulfilling.

Michael the Prophet is ready for his new life in a realm of the unspeakable.  He wishes to wallow in his inclination that he is living on borrowed time.  I'm going to give him the unspeakable, and prove to him that he is indeed living on borrowed time.

"Keep those who wish to betray you on a very short leash."

This is true for you, Prophet.  Your selfishness only leads you to your own prophesized end.  Do you realize the ego you exude by the simple fact that you think you can even fathom what the end will be like?  You assume it's biblical or spiritual.  You choke on the people that point it out as you swallow them.  You're deep throat.  You're no prophet.

"You merely play one on TV."

Michael the False Prophet will walk the gate between Heaven and Hell and he will expect to be judged.  But there will be no bible nor religion there for him.  He will remain the only one who knows of his true sins.  No one will come to chastise him.  He will merely be accepted through due to the way he lived his life--blatantly and completely self absorbed.  To think there could be someone more pretentious and self absorbed in this match than Jaxx, right?  It's true.  This man, Mike Bessette, the False Prophet...  He's a shell...  A shell filled with guilt masquerading as egotism.  When you cross over to the other side Mike, there won't even be a whisper.

"No one will remember your name."

Are you prepared to face inevitability?  Are you ready to face Shane Clemmens?

Don't worry pal, I'll cap you off real nice.

 

DIRTY AMERICAN HERO
"Bessette and Serenity"

I wake up inside Mike Bessette’s bedroom. He’s sitting on the edge of his bed holding a gun. Tears streak his face. He’s rolling the chamber of the revolver steady down his leg and sniffling. Beside him on the bed stand are empty bottles. He’s really a sight… You can tell the gun ways heavy in his hand.

“Mike Bessette and you aren’t that different. You’re both selfish and wasted. Jaded. You’re both coming to the end of the line.” Says the God, “You’re neither ready to hang it up but you see the signs plain as day. It’s nearly over.”

But no. Mike Bessette and I both have fight left in us.

I sit down beside Mike on the bed and nudge him but he doesn’t notice me. He picks up his glass and swigs down alcohol. The smell of it makes me shudder. His breath wreaks of it.

“That should be you Shane. Why don’t you have a concept of sorrow?” Asks the God.

Of course I know sorrow.

“Do you? Really? I think in your life you’ve had mostly happy times.” The God interjects.

Mike laughs against his woe and spins the gun on his index finger. He holds it up and lets the light shine off of it… It shines back into his eyes and makes him wince.

“The end is so close. So close…” Mike whispers.

“No. The end is nowhere in sight.” I reply but he doesn’t hear me.

“Oh but it is. For the both of you. The Sinner will rule and you both will become relics of a time best forgotten.”

“No.” Mike and I both reply.

“Oh, you wish to test fate?” The God chuckles.

“I wish to test everything.” Mike states.

I lay back on the bed and look up at the ceiling. I hear the gun go off sharply and feel Mike roll lifeless off the bed. I close my eyes and grit my teeth.

“This is it now Shane…” The God says, “Wake up… It’s time to give up.”

No.

“You’re running out of time. Give up now before it’s too late. Blame it on something—you’re good at placing blame, buddy.”

I open my eyes and I’m sitting beside Serenity Becker. She’s putting on make up. She looks sad but I don’t have any context or clue as to why.

“She knows what’s coming Shane…” The God growls, “She knows of her fate. Why don’t you accept your own?” He pushes me, “Accept it like she has.”

I look at Serenity’s eyes in the mirror.

“She’s innocent, enough… She won’t be sacrificed.” I say.
“No pain.” Serenity whispers, “No guilt.”

I feel choked up, “She knows more about this than anyone.” I shake my head, “She knows all too well.”

“What does she know that I don’t know?” Asks the God.

“How to have fun. How to live life.” I shake my head and stand up, “You can’t control me because you have no concept of life—only death.” I turn and see a door. I look back at the God. “Tonight the God dies and the Dog returns.”

“What?” The God laughs, “You think that door leads anywhere but back into my clutches?”

“It does.” Serenity whispers, “Go through the door. Before it’s too late.”

“This ends now!”

I march to the door, ignoring the God’s pleas. I roll the door knob open and hear him cry. Serenity yells.

“Go now Shane!” She commands.

I yank open the door and am immediately swallowed by a bright white light.

“It’s too late to quit.” Serenity’s voice disappears…
 

 

DIRTY DOG
"Serenity the Sacrifice."

Fight One Xperience has seen many lovely ladies grace the ring.  So many you lose count.  Some come and go but the one that seems to stick is Serenity.  How could you speak of Serenity without a kind word?  Really?  Even I can see that.  She is the jewel of Infamous and one of the finer personalities on our shows and on promo television.  She's got wit, timing, humor, brains and many other specialties.  Though this entire time Fight One has taken young Serenity Becker for granted.  Just like the United States took security for granted before the attacks of September Eleventh.  Fight One does not realize what they really have in this young lady.

"You never think to find out before it's too late."

She's above so many of you, looking down and you still think you're above her.  Mike Bessette and Nicholas Jaxx both marginalize her in the same way they marginalize Bronwen.  They don't see Serenity or Bronwen like I do.  They don't realize that Serenity represents the future of this sport.  When Bessette and Jaxx are forgotten has-beens, the fans will be watching Serenity entertain.  They will see the future of this sport which is firmly wrapped around Serenity's finger.  To get more trite, she has this gig by the tail.

"Nicholas Jaxx only sees himself.  Mike Bessette, likewise."

Serenity knows what's coming but not in a pseudo spiritual way like Mike Bessette.  She doesn't make assumptions of greatness--following in the foot prints of Nicholas Jaxx.  No.  She sees the opportunity, the danger, and the true importance of this match.  Jaxx and Bessette wish to be blind to this?  So be it.  I'm always ahead on trends.  Serenity would appreciate that.  Yeah.  I think Calvin Peirce put it best when he said "Serenity for the win." because he's another guy who doesn't go blind in the face of intimidation.  Jaxx and Bessette are both so scared of what Serenity represents but they pretend it isn't happening.  They, just like so many of you take Serenity for granted.  Don't say I haven't tried to warn you.

Serenity will be forced to take the role of the sacrifice.  The example to all of you to appreciate a good thing while you have it.  Think about what's become of Fight One Xperience and think about how you could have avoided it when Serenity falls from Heaven 2 Hell.  Think about what it means--the simple fact that Serenity made it to this level while everyone seemed to want to look the other way.  Now you're forced to face it.  Heaven 2 Hell, like her group, will live in Infamy.

Don't fear this though Serenity...  Let them fear you...  You will make an example out of Jaxx and Bessette when I make an example out of you.  I'd say what I'm thinking but you'd call me Tyler.  Think about it.  How can we have Heaven 2 Hell without destroying beauty?  Hmm?  We can't let that happen.  We're going to the ends of the Universe and I don't know if we're ever coming back.

"Come fly with me, come fly away."
