The camera comes on, focusing on a darkened area of the arena. A place that the crowd has seen plenty of times before. Rex's makeshift temple. There is the stage and the podium with Rex standing behind it. A step behind him and to his left stands Ramona with her arms crossed across her chest. Rex is leaning forward on the Podium, his hood down and a big smile on his face as he looks out at the crowd of cultists that stand before him. Yet there is something different about the crowd this time. It isn't a mere thirteen individuals here to listen this time. There's twenty of them now, all waiting with baited breath to hear their leader speak.

"Well done, my family. Our trip abroad was a most fortuitous adventure indeed. In one of my first matches back, I went toe-to-toe with Erynys and he proved to be victorious. But we punished him for his transgression after, didn't we. Wins have been rare since we returned but punishment. That has been great. The pain we've given to Erynys, Salem, and Avari has been legendary. And as if trying to give me even more of a reason to dominate the lowly wretches of the WWF:G roster, The Serpent has delivered my daughter to me. Emiko Sone, my Mamushi. But with my victory over Erynys, it is time we focus family."


Rex pounds a fist on the podium and the single light above starts to flicker. There seems to be a sound of whispering in the air that doesn't sound as if it's coming from the cultists. It doesn't sound like its coming from anywhere but the air. Krobra straightens up and gestures toward his family.

"You all will be instrumental in the times to come my family. Here at Halloween Havoc, we will make short work of this Bison. We shall destroy him as settlers have decimated his namesake. And once we are done with him, we shall turn our attention to others who are deserving of our punishment. Rights will be wronged and wrongs will be righted, my children. No matter how slight. No matter how grievous. We are going to redress them all. And one by one, they will be sacrificed to The Serpent just as Avari was. And as Erynys was in his home country, home field advantage and we humiliated him. We brought our venom to his doorstep and let it take root. He fought well but he could not fathom the depths of my devotion or the strength of The Serpent."


The lights flicker again. As they come back on, the podium is gone and Rex is standing in the middle of the stage with his arms outstretched.

"Hear my words, my family. Germany was the first step in our march of dominance. Tonight is the Bison. Then we shall bring our venom to all. We will meet again with Hiro. Salem will submit or Suffer. Mick Foley will feel the claw. We will defile the Redeemer, make Power powerless. Between my strength gifted to me from The Serpent and my sister claiming a crown of her own. There is not a soul that will stop us. Everyone will have a single choice. Submit to the Serpent or suffer as a sacrifice....but let's start with..."


The lights go out again. As they come back on, they are red and the entire cult is now facing the camera. Rex on his stage has one hanging at his side while the other is pointing directly at the camera. Ramona is standing at the edge of the stage now, hood down, twisted grin pulling at her lips.

"Him."


The cult lunges, the camera backs away but then suddenly drops to the ground. The camera sits on the ground and in front of it, there are moving figures and feet as the cameraman is assaulted and beaten. He calls for help but none appears to be coming. The camera is then lifted by Ramona who stares into it for a moment before turning it to show the cult carrying off the cameraman, disappearing into darkness. Ramona brings the camera to focus on her face again. She is still smiling a demonic grin. She sets the camera down gently and after a moment, she turns it off and cuts the feed.
