*Following his match against Jeremy Branson and the horrifying way it ended Maniac stumbled to the back where EMTs were waiting. Behind them stood Mandy with a worried look on her face and Maniac couldn't help but smile and shrug his shoulders as he lifts his hands palms up for a brief moment before passing out and knowing nothing but darkness. When he awoke he found out he was in University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center, not to far from where he was in Landover, Maryland. It's here Maniac has been recovering his injuries as he lays in his hospital bed hooked up to an IV and various other machines. Maniac almost looks like a mummy as his entire body and the back of his head are wrapped I'm bandages, leaving only his face exposed. Maniac has just finished watching the end of Blood Sweat and Tears when Antonio appears at his side.*
Antonio: That was one hell of a main event, glad to see Parker still has it.
Maniac: Yeah it was, went better than...
*Maniac can't finish the sentence, the memory of Erica being possed by DreamMaster flashes in his mind. Knowing what's bothering him Antonio continues.*
Antonio: This isn't your fault, that demon is responsible for all this and I'm ending it. I'm making the call to Sammy to get what we need to stop this once and for all.
Maniac: Actually you may want to hold off on that, you see the guys Sammy has helping him were brought to my attention by Erica. We needed able bodied guys and Erica knew where to get them.
*Antonio sighs, shaking his head.*
Antonio: So now we need a new plan...great. Any ideas?
Maniac: Not right now, but we'll think of something. For now call Sammy and give him and update of what's going on and that we'll be meeting up soon in a soon to be determined location. We have to be really careful now Antonio, what Erica knows DreamMaster knows and vice versa.
Antonio: We'll get this ####er and send him back to Hell where he belongs, until then you need to rest. How are you feeling?
Maniac: Not like a winner, I'll tell you that much. Jesus, did you see what she..what THEY did to Jeremy?!?!?
Antonio: Hey, calm down buddy it's ok..
Maniac: No, it's not! We brought that bastard into this world and WE'RE responsible for the damage it's causes. We can't just idly sit by and just watch the destruction with our hands in the air!!
*At this point the machines that Maniac are hooked to are all wildly going off as Maniac gets more frantic. Nurses and doctors swarm his room as they tried to call him down and end up sedating him as the scene fades.*
--------------------------------------------------
On camera
*The scene opens to Mandy standing next to Maniac in his room at University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center. She has a microphone in hand and is at the ready, like Greg is behind the camera.*
Mandy: Mandy Banks here at University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center with Maniac as he recovers from his grueling match against Jeremy Branson at Blood Sweat and Tears. Maniac the world witness what transpired towards the end of your match against Jeremy, how are you feeling about what went down?
*Maniac sighs and shakes his head, looking down momentarily. He lifts his head back up and begins to speak.*
Maniac: There's alot of emotions running through me right now Mandy. Shock, horror, disappointment, shame.
*You can tell Maniac is fighting off tears and he shakes it off and continues.*
Maniac: Jeremy, I'm so sorry this happened to you, I hope that wherever you and Matt are that you're both ok. I'm going to take care of this Jeremy I promise, you just worry about recovery and going on to Ringmaster...but don't you worry I'll see you there.
*Maniac gives a little smile and laugh before grimacing in pain.*
Maniac: Erica, I don't know where you are right now and I hope you're okay but please you must separate yourself from that demon. It's no good for you and will only cause more pain and heartache for you, trust me I know. It's not too late Erica, we can fix this please get a hold of me.
*Mandy puts a comforting hand on Maniac's shoulder.*
Mandy: Speaking of Ringmaster, with Blood Sweat and Tears now in the rear view mirror what is your plan of approach heading into Ringmaster?
Maniac: Well first and foremost it's heal, while I did have internal bleeding luckily it wasn't as bad as first intended. There were a few different incisions that were causing the internal bleeding and the doctors were able to stop the bleeding and close all the incisions up along with the gash in the back of my head. And speaking of that, thanks to you Jeremy I now have a matching gnarly scar like the one I left on Matt. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? But anyway, I'm here a little bit longer and then it's back home for healing and once I'm completely healed it's back to the gym to prepare for Ringmaster. There's NO WAY I'm missing Ringmaster this year, to not only win the tournament but to be the HWA champion is why everyone is here. To be the very best and on top of the mountain with the belt held high. But for now I'm just focused on healing, and while I'm home healing I'll be watching Havoc.
*A look of sadness passes over Maniac's face.*
Maniac: Michelle you're scheduled to take on Erica at the upcoming Havoc, please be very cautious stepping in the ring with her. As you may already know Erica is now possessed by the demon that once possessed me, I don't even know if wrestling her is a good idea. Whatever you decide just please be careful, bring Sarah or Alexis with you to ringside. Hell bring them both just in case, Erica is more dangerous than ever now. If you'll excuse me now, these pain meds are kicking in and it's nap time.
*Maniac yawns and simply passes as the scene fades to black.*
