On camera

The scene opens at Front Street Café in Pemberville, Ohio which also happens to be the hometown of fellow HWA wrestler Wolfy. On the way to Nashville, Tennessee for the next Havoc  they passed right through Ohio so Maniac decided to stop in not only to get something to eat but hopefully meet up with Wolfy. Maniac is enjoying a S.O.P which is two grilled slices of house made bread made of onions and green peppers sautéed in frobose smoked butter atop a grilled sausage patty covered in melted mozzarella cheese while Mandy is enjoying a Stack Attack which is three homemade buttermilk pancakes, slathered with homemade butter and covered with real maple syrup served with a side of bacon. They both joyfully eat their food in silence for a few moments before Maniac finishes his bite and begins.

Maniac: Jeremy, so glad that you took my advice and kept dancing. I see you over there Johnny doing that heel turn, but while you’re no Ren you still got the steps down pretty well. It’s a dance that has been done before, not too long ago I was doing said dance, as was Matt, as many have before, as Erica is now…as are you. Are you following me Kenickie? You seem to be listening to me at least about your emotions so why don’t you use that big brain of yours and think for moment instead of trying to turn Lunatik against me with your petty mind games.

Maniac shakes his head and then takes another bite of food before continuing.

Maniac: You know it’s not going to work Blane, Lunatik and I have made our amends and our friendship is stronger than ever. Good luck on your crusade against me though and I do hope you realize that bitching at me everyday and constantly reminding me of my mistakes isn’t going to have an affect on me anymore, ok Marcy D'Arcy? I’ve got an HWA Championship to earn a shot for and you’re not going to stop me, let alone with a guilt trip. Riddle me this Jason Todd, who are you going to blame If you meet the same fate as Matt? Because just like him you are making the choice to walk this path even though you know where it leads but that doesn’t matter does it Judge Dredd? Oh no, you’re so caught up in your revenge plot that you don’t see that you’re playing right into that demon’s hands.

Maniac takes a drink of his soda and continues.

Maniac: This is EXCATLY what it wants Kevin, for you to be its advocate. It wants you to help spread hate and darkness to others like it did through me, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s been trying to get Hans and Butch to help stop me. And why would it want me stopped? Because it knows I’m on the right path to sending it back to Hell and it’ll do whatever it can to protect itself. If you won’t listen to me then ask Matt, I know he and I don’t agree on much of anything but I do believe we’ll agree that we should be all working together to stop DreamMaster instead of fighting amongst ourselves and only helping it’s cause.

Maniac takes a few more bites of food before continuing.

Maniac: Delicious food… anyway, Lunatik my brother from another mother glad you are getting things straightened out. You know that clone fooled me along with everyone else for all these years and to think it has Senester’s DNA it seems crazy to the new generation of HWA but only if they were here when he was know what it was like. That man was diabolical, I mean straight comic book villain like Hugo Strange mixed with a splash of MODOK, Grigori Rasputin, William Stryker, Kingpin, you get the idea. What I’m getting at is Senester is a long-term planner so just be careful my friend.

Maniac takes the last few bites of his food and washes it down with his drink before continuing.

Maniac: Wolfy I’m sure you can recognize where Mandy and I are right now, we were on the way to Nashville, Tennessee and were passing right through Ohio so we thought we’d make a pit stop, get some food, and hopefully we can meet up. We have business to finish, I almost have all the pieces and once I do I’ll need yours and Lunatik’s help. We’ll be in town for a few days so I’ll be easy to find give me a call or just come to the bus.

Maniac smiles and turns back towards Mandy so they can decide where to park the bus while the sleep as the scene fades to black.
