A fitting stage (XXL/Force)

[Tyson Terra]

Los Angeles, CA- The Staples Center.

"Angel" by Massive Attack begins to play once again over another arena as Tyson Terra steps out onto the stage alone to a silent reaction for the crowd...it's gotten to the point where booing the man makes no difference does it?

He makes a slow and confident march to the ring where a microphone waits for him.

Last week, the tables were turned. Last week on TakeDown you saw full well that the numbers game that was being played by Brandon Force and XXL amounted to nothing. Ha Ha...you thought that you could honestly pose a challenge to me? Things are quite different when the odds are even aren't they gentlemen? Two weeks ago you had the confidence that you could get the job done, only to have those hopes come crashing down as the ref's hand crash down for the three count as my "Tormentor" once again proved his superiority.

So...where does that leave us here and now, gentlemen...hmm? How do you wish to do battle this time around? Might I make a suggestion because things are far far from settled. I'm here to make not one but two challenges.

The first goes to you Mr. Force. Weeks ago this all started when you were lucky enough to bust me open, a commendable feat if I say so myself...but everyone has their lucky days, and you've just about ran out of them. Tonight, if you dare...I'll grant you a chance to truly test your mettle one-on-one against the being that finished you off last week, my "Tormentor" STRYFE!!!

As far as you go Xander...you wanted so badly to have a shot me for old time's sake so to speak...what say you and I do it for real this time...no outside influences involved. You and me in a simple contest...and we will see exactly how "mighty" the mighty XXL truly is.

So what say you gentlemen? Are you up for another game?

{And right on cue, Forces theme, Fallen, hits on the arena sound system. He shoots an evil glare towards Terra, who only seems to enjoy it. He makes his way down to the ring so he could respond to Terra face to face.}

Alright, yes...Xander and I lost against you and the freak. But I'm not going to declare it a fluke. Why? Because I'm not like that. I can realize when I've been bested. Unlike YOU...who sees it fit to describe my first blood victory over you as nothing more than "lucky". Why not come out and say you were beaten at your own brutal game? But I guess thats not the point right now. What I'm out here for is to accept the match agains't Stryfe. I know eveyone has seen what he can do to people. And I know everyone has seen the little special effects he can pull, so I know alot of people would label me a fool for going in against a heartless, ruthless, remorseless, souless MONSTER. I'll admit... NEVER in my two years in the big leagues of wrestling have I been faced with a greater challenge than Stryfe. To date, we've had only 3 encounters in a wrestling ring...all but one ending with HIM finishing ME. The first time back in LXW when he tossed me head first into a cage wall, and third was at Takedown. But tonight, I intend to BREAK that chain of ill fortune by laying Stryfe out dead center in the ring!

{Force lowers his mic as he finishes, waiting for either Terra to respond, or XXL to arrive.}

Somehow I had figured that your confidence would once again come shining through Force. You're bravery is the true sign of a hero, but make no mistakes about it, tonight you are going to be made into a martyr. A man who stands for honor and justice, crushed at the hand of a being who is far superior than he.

Yes you will fight. Hard, bravely enough...but foolishly and carelessly. You're going to let your emotions and that idiotic sense of justice of yours cloud your judgment. It might have served you well against me, but the Tormentor is a far more devastating creature than even I am, of which you should probably have realized by now.

No worries though, if you still haven't yet figured it out...tonight you'll have yourself a firsthand, up close and personal demonstration of what true chaos and carnage is all about. I myself am looking forward to it.

It's a shame that you're new buddy has'nt made his presence made as of yet...I was so looking forward to catching up on old times with him, the pleasure of seeing you and Stryfe stroll down memory lane will be entertaining enough.

I guess all that's left is to wish you good luck, but given the prodigious beating that's going to be bestowed on you tonight, I think it'd be more fitting to say "get well soon". Ha...
