Supplement Lore
Roland: Are you alright, Director? You look… er, why is there blood on your suit?

Angela: I had an Abnormality to contain. Doesn’t matter. Will you continue?

Roland: What, the Laws of Wrestling?

Angela: Yes. You said you had reason to believe the Laws of Wrestling were conceived in a specific way. Why?

Roland: Well, Miss Angela, while the library with the recount of the events DID burn down… there still exist stories.

Angela: Stories?

Roland: Yes. Fairytales, folktales, all the sort. While there exists no recount of it anymore, there exist tales about it. Quite embellished, and mystical, but still.

Angela: And you know of one?

Roland: While there exist many stories, this one is my preferred version of how it came to be. If you could…

Angela: Roland?

Roland: Get comfortable, Miss Angela. This will be a lengthy story...

Roland: Tales of Glacierous Rus’. Featuring such stories as “Putin the Deathless”, “STALKERs of Might and Magic”. “ The New Pirate”,

“Everlasting Summer”, “A Hundred Plundered Caravans”, “Our Radiant Goddess Gadget Hackwrench”... Geez.

 (Drawn, needs coloring)

Angela: Why is the book written in… Russian, I believe?

Roland: It’s a folk book, Director. Found it in a small local library. Now then, shall I start?

Angela: Yes… please.

Roland: Alright. Let me get to the page… Ah-hah. “The War of two Magicks.”

 (Note to Al: can use one of previous paintings)

Roland: “Our land, abound in ice, in cold, and most wondrous of magics. It is with them that we were clothed, fed, and led to prosperity, as the Glacier protected us. And our ways.”

Roland: “The unforgiving blizzards housed magia in its’ purest form. We learned how to live within it, and how to use its powers for our needs.

An offering for an offering, exchange in value, pain and experience. It could be said certain that we all housed Magia in us.”

 (Drawn, needs coloring)

Roland: “But there was another land, far away, across lands of earth and roaring oceans.

One where Magia was subdued, contorted, twisted in shapes and forms as those who wielded it saw it fit. The name of that land was Mexico. A hot, wild country, with temperamental wizards.

Who too, learned their ways as their ancient forefathers did, through force and subjugation.”



Roland: “Perhaps, it was as Fate itself foretold, that the two would clash.”

“Their alignments, beliefs, ways of life, even the basics of existence were aligned perfectly opposite of each other.”

“And, in 1984, the flint was lit.”

Angela: It’s written so… strange. Verbose, but not. Vague, and yet to the point.

Roland: Welcome to the world of fantasy literature, Miss Angela. Shall I continue?

[Part End]

 (Drawn, needs coloring)

Roland: “...Long have the two countries fought. Such hate, such desire to destroy the ‘unreasonable’ way of life,”

“To ‘educate’ the barbarians how to do it right… It was fierce, both in Russia and Mexico.”

Roland: “Yet, just as every country had its loyal, proud people… it had its fair share of traitors.”

 (Drawn, needs Coloring)

Roland: “A group has formed, both of Mexican Wizards, and Russian Sorcerers, who sought to end the war, one way or the other.”

“Knowledge and power was exchanged. There was a tale, of a Power Plant housing one of the hearts of Magia.”

“If it was disrupted… Unmentionable things would happen.”

Roland: “Armed with the idea, the group orchestrated a skirmish in the area near the Power Plant.”

“And at the right moment, through a combination of spells both controlled and sporadic… it erupted.”



Roland: “Like a well with all the waters of the Earth sprouting it above, so did the Power Plant,”

“Releasing Magia into the atmosphere. But the group miscalculated the output. And the will of Earth itself.”

Roland: “The chaotic magic that threatened to disrupt the life...”

“Was instead absorbed into the icy continent of Russia, that housed and distilled Magia since times forgotten.”

“The Glacier rose above. Once, Twice, Thrice, until it was standing above the world, tainted by the actions.”

Roland: “Both countries realised the terrible power that has been brought into the world.”

“Battles like these, that were common in times before, could not continue. The containment of such an amount of magic was only by pure chance…”

Roland: …

Angela: Why did you stop?

Roland I… need to get a glass of water. Parched a bit, reading this riveting tale. I’ll be right back.



[Scene ends]



Roland: Right, where was I… Ah-ha.



Roland: “As such, there were meetings. Talks of peace, of alliance. Of means of upholding the projected peace.”

“In the meantime, sorcerers explored the gigantic glacier, which has warped itself into a truly chaotic structure.”



Roland: “One section housed creatures of folk. Another, and yet another, barren, but with the feel of comfort.”

“And on the final layer, where the sky was seen, and air was full of magic…”



Roland: “Lived a lone ruler of the frozen land, a Fairy of Ice and Snow,”

“...Cirno.”

“She was ecstatic to see someone new, after years upon years upon years of solitudal sovereigning.”

“She heard the tales of Sorcerers. She told the tales of her own, and the land from whence she came.”

“Of the power she wielded, and secrets she knew. So, the Sorcerers of Glacier struck another alliance, with a being far more primordial.”

 HAHA FUCKING FINISHED

Roland: “A year later, on the Ground Zero, the grandest Wizards and spirited Sorcerers gathered, to perform the magic once more.”

“Basis for a system to battle on equal grounds, partly from Lucha, partly from Russian Kulachniye Boyi.” “With the help of the being of pure magic, that told them of the system back in her land, that could equalize both weak and strong,”

“And pooled her power alongside the Conquering and Coexisting, the Laws of Wrestling were made.”

“And the treaty of Alliance was fulfilled right there, observed and signed by Cirno as well.”

Roland: “With this, there was Peace in the world again. No more blood needed to be shed, for sins small and great,”

“For all could be ruled out in a squared circle, where grief and woe could be beaten out, or beaten in..”

Angela:...

Roland…

Roland: Miss Angela?

Angela: Ah? I… apologize. This was a… mesmerizing tale.

Roland: Folk lore is meant to enchant, and make one believe. Still, every story holds a piece of truth in it, doesn’t it?

Angela: What does this… Cirno look like?

Roland: Let me see… Oh, there is a picture of the treaty.



Roland: Blue hair, white-ish clothing, red bow-tie… Wow, the Secretary you looked very similar to her. That is, if she, er, you were younger.

Angela… Snow… Ice… Ruler…

Roland: Miss Angela?

Angela: The snow is steadily melting… Perhaps, because the spring is coming, or it might be the palace collapsing… (Make the text look a bit glitched? A bit of early meltdown or some shit)

Roland:Angela?

Angela: Spring arrived with blossoming roses… held hands, a-and walked home… (glitched still?)

Roland:Miss Angela! Snap out of this!

Angela: ...Why couldn’t I be a person, A… Why… Why deny me this…please… tell me… what did I do wrong?

Roland: Do… Do you need some time alone?

Angela: No… Stay, please. I… I can’t…I don’t want to be alone.

Roland: As you say, Director. Now… it helped out once, it can help out twice.

Repeat after me, please. Breathe in, and breathe out.

Lore 1 Akasaka unlocks his EGO
“Fighting was the only thing... the only thing I was good at. But... at least I always fought for what I believed in” - Gray Fox

(Black screen, Location: The Ring)

Akasaka: What is going on with this place?

It has all gone mad.

Everyone is running, it’s all a blur…

Those disgusting men, I can’t believe what they said!

I can’t run anymore, I have to carry on.

Everyone is suffering...

I can’t… Feel the pain anymore…

???: It is not your time to fall.

Rise, my chosen disciple.

Perk your ears to the call of the Saint of Jobbers.

(Cut to the aftermath of the match)

Joker: That fucking chimp! Kept me held up for so long!

Surely my guys have won by…

What the hell?

It’s the three of them on the ground…

And…

You…

Akasaka: Even if there is nobody left to help me...

I cannot run, I will have to face the darkness myself.

It is my duty after all, I am someone others should look up to.

That is the place of a man who decided to enforce justice.

This is my role on the chessboard of life.

This is my duty.

Joker: What the fuck is up with this guy?

Gamer Wizard: SUCH POWER! A MAN WHO WIELDS A HAMMER OF JUSTICE!

Luka: A-An angel?

I see Akasaka, but...

Joker: Damnit! I don’t think even the Phantom Bulbasaurs can help against that!

I’ll just grab my men and run for it!

Akasaka: May the Saint of Jobbers bless all of thee with the holy 3 count.

-change scene-

Date: Tch! Even with my porno mags this is too much!

Binah: Oh my, giving up so soon? Looks like this kill is mine today, Gebura.

Date: Wait!

Binah: Oh, are you going to talk?

Date: Can you both show a bit of cleavage before you deal the finishing blow?

It’s a dying man’s request!

Binah: … (face of absolute contempt)

Gebura: You better kill him now before I get my hands on the little-

Binah: Disperse.

-clash noise-

Binah: What is it now!?

Akasaka: This is my role, my duty, my honour.

Criminals will face the justice that chases them.

Binah: Oh my, I haven’t seen this EGO before!

Could it be that you have somehow unlocked yours?

I’m impressed...

Now get out of my way...

-clash noise-

Akasaka: Even in our darkest nights a new day is on the horizon.

Such is life for the followers of our Saint.

Binah: I’m very interested in this.

I won’t snuff out your life today, I want to see where this goes.

Hey, idiot redhead, time to report this interesting development to Angela.

I’m sure she’ll enjoy this news.

-binah and gebura leave-

Date: Akasaka! Thanks for your-

W-what the? What’s going on? What happened to you?

Akasaka: The sins of our jobbing shall be washed away as a new dawn is upon us.

-change scene-

Sundowner: The gall of these impersonators!

The Armstrong I knew would never bow to a corporation!

George: You’re not the real Battler! I know it!

James: Roland… Where are you…

Battler: Take this to your precious Manager.

No Way Fag isn’t real.

Armstrong: Angela has a dream!

That Manager will accept his fate and submit himself to her!

So that she may live out her days knowing that she is finally acknowledged!

Sundowner: The mannerisms are all there but I know you’re full of shit.

Mere fakes, mockeries created by that bitch!

Dimitri: We’re just following orders.

And those orders are to take Manager, and kill anyone that gets in our way.

AND YOU’RE IN OUR WAY!

-clash noise-

Dimitri: Grrrr! Nice trick!

Try again!

-clash noises-

Dimitri: Get outta my way!

Akasaka: The Tree of Liberty thirsts, it desires the blood of those who prey upon the weak.

I am a harbinger of justice, the downtrodden shall be protected by my shield.

Those who feast on them shall learn that the cornered fox is more dangerous than the jackal.

Battler: Back up for a moment hothead, take a look at this dude.

As Info Team Captain I can tell you that’s manifested EGO.

Look at the mannerisms and how it spreads across his bloodied body, he was pushed to the edge.

Armstrong: Blondie, you know as well as we do who else managed to do that.

Dimitri: I DON’T CARE! THEY ALL DIE THE SAME WAY!

-clashing noises-

Dimitri: WHY

WON’T

YOU

DROP

DEAD!

-hitting noise-

GRRRRR NICE SHOT!

I SAW THAT COMING YOU ONLY NICKED THE SKIN!

Hokma: Finally we got here! Is everyone-

A: What the…

Spigot: HOLY DICKS!

A: That’s EGO...

Hokma: I’ve never seen this happen in person, what a sight to behold.

Bateman: It’s good to see a wolf like you at least pretending to help, Mana-

My God! Is that Akasaka?!

A: I’m not sure if you could even say that’s Akasaka

Bateman: Tch. Looks like you have this place covered, I’ll make sure the rest of these bastard abnormalities drop dead!

Battler: Come on Dimitri, their reinforcements are heading this way.

Armstrong: Seeing an EGO manifest is a good enough result.

Dimitri: Count yourself lucky.

Next time you’ll all die by my blade!

-agents leave-

* Akasaka passes out*

A: He’s unconscious! Someone get a medic here!

Dallas: EVERYONE GET DOWN, THE ON-SITE MEDIC IS HERE!

Pain is just mental! Get back up!

...

Hokma: ...Shouting at him won’t get him back up.

Dallas: Aw shit! I need a medic bag! Get him on the stretcher!

Angela: So you’re telling me that someone manifested EGO?

What idiot let that happen?

Binah: You can blame that Joker kid and his little buddies for that.

Seems like they drove that man over the edge by threatening his wife.

Angela: I knew I would’ve been better off just killing them

Thanks to their idiotic and childish threats, we have more complications on top of everything.

It’s all so tiresome… Why do I even bother?

Binah: You are not usually like this.. What happened while we were gone?

Angela: Nothing happened.

Binah: Something di-

Angela: Drop it, now.

Binah: Hrm, suit yourself then.

Hey, Roland, I see you nearby.

The other sephirah won’t be happy about you muddying our director’s head, you know.

Lore 2 It’s Hip has an announcement
Patrick Bateman: It has come down to this, then.

Abnormalities, goons, and now a few boxes! But it still hasn’t stopped us!

Despite the things that Manager has done before he was here, and what he does now, his time will come eventually.

There is someone else who has pissed me off FAR more!

Don’t mistake me for a fool, Angela! I know very well that USB wasn’t there by pure chance!

If you don’t stop your attacks, then your pet Abnormalities won't be crawling back to you anymore.

We will go further than that.

Allow us to demonstrate!

Match 1
It’s Hip vs Forsaken Jobber (Handicap)

Bateman pins

Lore 3 It’s Hip lynches Jobber
Patrick Bateman: Ride, put it on the table. Show, you know what to do.

Get on that top rope!

I hope you are getting a good look at this, Angela.

Don’t want to put on a disappointing performance after all!

Now end it right here, Show!

(Big Show dives into Jobber who is on the table)

Bateman: AND THIS! IS HOW WE START!

Match 2
The Winds of Destruction vs Agent Armstrong and Agent Battler

Sundowner pins Battle

Lore 4 Eri is mad again
Eri: Urgh! Just my luck!

The asshole booker said “Oh look it’s another Dog!” and I got all excited!

But they’re not even an actual dog! What is this bullshit?

And not only that, they fucking disappeared as well!

I mean come on! I am here for the taking!

What’s going on?

…

Big Dog…

Dog Nigga…

Where are you all?

Match 3
Runescape Bot vs Eri (Lmao she is desperate for anything at this point)

Eri won via pin

Match 4
Ladder Match: Potion Seller vs Travelling Knight

Knight wins

Lore 5 Roland meets up with James
Dallas: It will sting a bit, but you don’t need any further medical attention.

James: Thanks.

Roland: Hey! James!

James: Roland! I wondered where you went!

Roland: I went with that book to that friend of mine, what happened here?

I saw a couple people walking out the first aid room, and someone getting carted off.

James: A lot happened, we got attacked by all sorts.

We had Abnormalities and some guys impersonating popular wrestlers attacking the stadium.

And on top of that, The Bad Tags went rogue.

Roland: Abnormalities?

James: Some strange monsters. I have no idea what they are.

Some woman called Angela is sending all of this out here to try and take Manager away.

Roland: I’ve heard about him, he is on all the posters.

Guess he must have a crazy fan.

James: It is a sad situation we are in.

I am going to go to the hospital, I have to speak to someone.

You want to come along?

Roland: Sure. The more time not dealing with some of the hardasses back there, the better.

(Thinking of a scene where in the waiting room they see the It’s Hip promo on the tv)

TV: *Despite the things that Manager has done before he was here, and what he does now, his time will come eventually.*

Roland: Things? What does he mean by that?

James: I keep hearing about how he has done terrible things...

Roland: And you believe it?

James: I don’t believe it, he has never done anything wrong by me.

He helped us get access to that other universe to help save our friends from TFR.

Even if it meant sacrificing all of his strength and potentially dying in the process.

I can’t consider a man who was willing to take such risks to himself to save people to be evil.

If only this Angela would be willing to just talk to him…

Roland: (Angela’s stories about him never mentioned him ever being like this…)

Well... I hope he can clear his name.

-change scene, hospital room-

Byleth: Hah, I wondered when someone would eventually visit.

James: Sorry about that, a lot of things have been coming up since that day.

Byleth: Figures, I nearly gave those weird guys a thrashing on my own though!

I’m sure Dimitri would’ve been impressed with that.

James: I was friends with Dimitri during his time here, I’m sure he would’ve been impressed!

Byleth: It’s nice that he made friends here, so what went on during his time here?

James: Well, some strange magical artefact revived the Adrestrian Empire!

Byleth: It what!?

James: It’s okay though! Everyone helped out to defeat them once more!

Byleth: That’s good, I dread to think how Edelgard would’ve acted if I showed up.

She was always strangely obsessive…

Roland: Magical artefact?

James: It’s this weird looking object that El Loco protects.

Byleth: So Edelgard isn’t around anymore… That’s good.

Where is Dimitri now?

James: He’s at the other show now.

Byleth: Suppose once I’ve helped you guys out I’ll head over there!

Roland: Hey, isn’t that...

James: Akasaka…

Byleth: The doc said he’ll be out cold for a bit, but otherwise he’s fine.

For a guy that honestly looked on the verge of death otherwise…

The doc was honestly shocked to find his vitals were perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened.

Roland: Guess that’s the power of E- uh, whatever it was.

-door gets kicked open-

Dallas: GET BACK IN THE FIGHT BUDDY!

Byleth: W-woah! I feel fine all of a sudden!

Dallas: Haha! All in a day’s work!

Now fuck off! I gotta treat this dude with my medic bag!

Byleth: Thanks doc.

-black screen-

Roland: So you up for a tag team match, James?

James: Yeah! Management figured out a name for us.

So our tag team name is gonna be...

Match 5

LORE: Roland goes to talk with Angela
Malkuth: Roland you idiot!

Roland: Oh great, anothing yelling session?

I was going to ask if Angela was here.

Malkuth: She is as always.

But she’s been acting strange because of you!

Now I don’t like her at all, but whatever you did surely wasn’t any good at all!

Roland: H-Hey stop swinging your fists at me!

Surely she understands what the hell folklore is? I told her that from the start!

Malkuth: Well it’s pretty obvious that she didn’t understand that, seeing how she is acting!

And I thought it was bad enough with Gebura yelling all the time!

Roland: Come on now, I wouldn’t think she’d take folklore as fact!

At this rate if you told her about Santa she’d believe you!

Malkuth: Well this is your fault! You should take responsibility for it!

You are the only one who can still talk to her at this rate!

Roland: Great… Don’t get mad if she doesn’t leave enough of me for you to punch at.

(Cut to Angela’s room)

Roland: Uhh… I’m back, Miss Director…

Monitor : “Boss, this is only gonna delay The Final Impact further!”

“DO IT.”

Roland: Are you watching those wrestling tapes?

Angela: …

Roland: I know what happened with that book was a bitter pill to swallow but…

(I shouldn’t push this any further)

...Nevermind, is that the fourth season of that other show?

Angela: ...Yes…

I wanted to see what that library burner did…

Roland: Hey, that is James! He didn’t tell me he helped out too.

Angela: ...Oh… You know him…

Roland: He helped me find the b- he helped me with some things.

What the hell is he fighting?

It looks like a mangled up rat combined with a man.

Looks like something we would contain here.

Angela: contain…

Monitor: 1, 2, 3!

Roland: Oh wow, he managed to pin that thing?

Hope he washed his hands after....

* Jerkcity Corp theme starts playing*

Wait, that’s A-

* SMASH*

Roland: WOAH! I knew people said that season was bad but not worth smashing a monitor over!

Angela: He insults me! After everything he has done!

He walks out there pretending he cares for his “friends”!

Like he has never done anything wrong!

Where was this caring attitude for me!?

Where was his desire to treat me as something more than a stupid AI secretary back then!?

And those things they are fighting!

It is like the whole world conspires to make me look like I am the monster!

Roland: (If I don’t say something now I worry what might happen.)

Miss Dir- No, Angela! Please! Calm down! This is not worth getting all worked up over!

Angela: It is!

He pretends that he is a “changed man”! But I know the truth!

Roland: But what if he has changed? What if all this time all you needed to do was talk to him?!

Angela: So he can lie to me again?! I will not be blackened by his lies any longer!

He had thousand upon thousands of years to start treating me like an actual person!

Roland: But wasn’t it 10 years?

Angela: It wasn’t for me!

...If the whole world wants me to be a monster… Fine! I’ll be the monster!

Binah! Get in here!

Binah: What is-

Angela: Kill those idiots in It’s Hip!

Binah: I presume you had something to do with this, Roland.

Roland: Don’t look at me!

Angela: And on your way out, tell the agents to record [CENSORED], without the filter!

If he wants to say he “changed”, I’ll give him his change!

Roland: (This isn’t good.)

Angela: Also start releasing the results of the Cogito experiments!

Roland: (Guess I really am an idiot…)

Match 8
Hugh Neutron vs Jon Arbuckle

Jon wins via pin

Match 9
The Gamer Wizard vs The Whizzard

Gamer Wizard wins via pin

LORE: Date confronts Manager
Date: I have no idea what it is I saw back there...

That wasn’t Akasaka, that was someone else.

No... Something else.

What do you think, Aiba?

Aiba: No idea. Something was taking over his body, like a parasite.

It resembles the EGO gifts Manager wears but…unlike Manager, his mind wasn’t there.

Date: Like he was possessed?

Aiba: To put it simply, yes.

Date: I need to talk to Manager about this.

If anyone would know what happened, It would be him.

I have to talk to him about what Bateman said and the contents of that USB anyway.

Manager, Spigot and Hokma discuss what happened with Akasaka when Date asks to talk to Manager in private. (You know the EGO stuff better than me - Nyron)

Date: You saw what happened to Akasaka, right?

A: We did, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen that in person.

Date: What, you’re aware that this can happen to people?

Hokma: Gebura was the only known example before this.

That power made her the strongest Fixer around, The Red Mist.

Date: So whatever that is can turn basically anyone into a near-unrivalled death machine?

Is that what you’re telling me?

What even is that anyways?

A: To put it short, it’s someone’s emotions given physical shape.

Their ego manifested as a physical object, so to speak, hence the name.

There was something odd about that though.

Date: Odd? Come on this is my buddy we’re talking about here!

A: It should remain and gradually refine itself further.

But this one just simply faded and left him out cold, back to his normal self.

Date: Thinking about it, he talked about some Saint…

And jobbing…

Date: Another thing Manager, i need to talk to you in private.

Spigot: YOU BETTER NOT BE LICKING PRICKS WITHOUT ME!

Manger: Okay, Date.

(remove these brackets whenever you are done i am just making the transition to Backstory of Manager here)

Date: I have seen through the USB, I grabbed it on the way out when we got attacked.

There were things Bateman missed in there.

And I don’t know what to make of it all.

I am left to question whether to keep helping or to have you arrested.

A: It’s fa-

Date: Fake or not, I cannot help you if you are keeping something away from me.

So please Manager, A, whatever you refer to yourself as. I need the truth.

Tell me what happened before you got here.

What were you doing at this “L Corp”?

Manager: The truth…

Manager: The truth is yes, I did run a corporation. Which was “L Corp”

We made energy for the City. Revolutionary, unlike any other, the most efficient way.

And that was all a cover, for a goal far greater.

The goal created by Carmen, to ignite the light in the hearts of people, through Cogito.

Date: Who is Carmen?

Manager: She… she was our own beacon, mine and the workers of the facility… the ones that would eventually become Sephirah.

That is why, when too many have died, as is the norm in experiments… She couldn’t take it.

She killed herself, leaving us without our light to guide us. But… she did leave a Script. Or, rather, the basis for it.

Date: ...I can only dread what that script needed.

Manager: We hired people, and put them in indefinite sleep, till they were needed.

I dissected Her, separating brain from flesh.

She was still with us, a direct conduit to the hearts and the great Lake of Cogito, from whence Abnormalities come.

Elijah, Gabriel, Giovanni, Michelle, Lisa, Kali, Daniel, Benjamin… even Garion.

They became Sephirah, the ones to control their respective departments.

Their sins and grievances had to be redeemed, for Her plan to be true.

But to ensure it all goes without mistakes… B and I made Her.

Date: The ever-elusive Angela, huh?

Manager: Combining Carmen’s flesh, and a copy of her mind, Angela was made. To oversee the completion.

...I couldn’t bear to see the mockery I made of Her… Lifeless expression, soulless eyes, nothing but a copy repeating the words She would say...

Angela: I remember you, A. You were a kindhearted person.

Manager: That machine had its uses.

It kept me from going over the edge, when I was too overcome with despair.

Even then, I was separated, and had to overcome my own selves, the ones that reached further and further, but failed, to approach that Light.

Abel, Abram, Adam… Ayin.

Date: So, you collected that energy, for whatever the plan of this Carmen girl is...

Manager:The energy that came from the minds and souls of people, collected by us.

It finally reached completion, on the 50th day, of tens of thousands of years.

It spread across the City, a shining beacon, like Carmen was.

The light was given back to the people, and my job was done. And of the Sephirah. And of Angela.

The well oiled machine, that operated and acted as it should, the Corporation… it had to end.

But when the Light engulfed me, I saw what went there. A rebellion, of the Arbiter and Angela, and a ceaseless war.

That Angela seems to have won. I could only see the first day of it.

It… it was a horror. Abnormalities, Agents, Clerks, rampaging throughout the facility. And I could not fix it.

The world started to spin, the Corporation, the City itself disappeared from my sight. It kept on spinning, until it all went dark.

-split here-

TV:*And that’s why it is time to end this game.*

Manager: Every- No....

…

Binah is in the crowd.

She is going after Bateman!

-Manger runs off-

Date: What? Hey wait up!

LORE: Binah tries to kill Bateman
Bateman: And that’s why it is time to end this game.

I don’t care why or what or how, anyone or anything that tries to harm this place further will face my axe!

…

I know you’re there, hag.

Binah: You’re certainly one with a good eye.

You run your mouth too much though, it’s a bit cliche don’t you think?

We’re all here for the same goal in a way, you don’t like A, and neither do we.

Bateman: I may not be a fan of him in any way at all…

But he isn’t one who started trashing this place.

Once this is all settled, then I can have my little faceoff with him again.

But until then, I will be the one to stop you all.

Binah: You talk a lot, is that you trying to look cool or are you hiding fear?

Bateman: You don’t scare me, witch.

You think you impress anyone by disemboweling people with your bare hands?

If you think to intimidate me, you should start by having some actual taste.

Show will crash your threats into the ground and Ride will burn you alive when we are done!

Binah: And what would you do without your little friends helping you?

Bateman: Like you can stop all three of u-

(attacking noises, Show and Ride fall)

Show! Ride!

Binah: A man who only taunts when he hides behind his friends is not a man, only a coward.

Something you and A have in common, both cowards.

Let’s see if you can live up to your boasting now…

Bateman: I am the heart of It’s Hip and I shall be the one to end your terror!

-fighting, bateman ends up losing-

Binah: Oh dear, looks like you were sorely mistaken, little man.

Death is fleeting, you will learn to embrace it soon enough.

How about I help you do so?

Disperse.

-slashing noise-

Bateman: Grgh! You won’t kill me that easily!

I’ll keep going until all my blood is gone and my body has no organs!

* Punch sound*

I’ll kill you no matter what!

Binah: Do not get in my way.

-slashing noise-

Bateman: You’ll… Have to do more…

Binah: I enjoy seeing the pain on people’s faces before they die.

It’s a shame yours has no fear on it, that’s the best part.

Or have you accepted your fate?

Bateman: Fuck... you…

* Spitting noise, blood on Binah’s face*

Binah: Keep up the defiant act, it will make this all the more enjoyable for me when you die.

Now… Disperse.

Manager: Nobody will die today.

-clash noise-

Binah: The dog finally comes out of hiding.

Where’s your friends? I’d love to give the old fool another thrashing.

Maybe see if the former Control Team Captain can still back up his words.

Manager: They’re busy... I won’t need them for you.

Binah: *chuckle* Try to fight me then!

Let’s see if you can do better than these lesser fighters.

I won’t hold back, I doubt she would even care if I killed you at this point.

Manager: What makes you say that?

Binah: Fight me and find out.

Bateman: Hey, Binah!

* Punch*

Don’t think you can count me out just yet…

Manager: Bateman, get out of here! I will deal with her!

Bateman: No... way... am I letting this bitch get away!

Binah: Why don’t you sulk in the corner and wait until he tags you in.

Bateman: Hahaha! You really don’t know a thing about this business!

You attacked me during a promo! That means there are no rules to follow!

It’s a two on one, no holds barred.

Binah: No rules… Good.

Manager: Seriously Bateman, you need medical attention! Go and take your friends out of here!

Bateman: Come on Manager, have you ever seen me back out of a fight?

Remember when Dimitri would get pissed off if he saw any of us back out?

I don’t intend to do that now.

Let’s show this hag the ropes of this business!
