Battered, Bruised, Unbroken (Spoiler/O2A)

[atlasx0x]

Bleeding on the ground....Dante lay there after the ten count. Thinking over and over to himself what had just happened. Pondering the just moments, when his mind slipped from the task and he was slammed on his face. As Marcus exited from the stage Dante suddently began to feel his body rising up.

What I treasure to myself in life, can not be taken away. I have not been beaten, I have not lost. No more games.... No more mercy.... Here I stand in a new world, here you all stand.

Dante was now on his feet with a microphone in his hand, blood rushing down his face.

Never again will I be dishonored or reminded of the feeling of defeat. However, I did not lose this night....I won. I won a lot of things tonight. Hahahaha, I'm sure you all are wondering what I am talking about? Well let me start with my first prize.... One! I won my self, I won the true animal inside and now it is at my disposal to use. You see, after be undefeated for years, I have finally lost to win. Now that I have acknowledged defeat my instict of survival has kicked in...and there is blood in the water and I am ready to find it.

Secondly, I followed through with the only promise I made...to get up. I got up, however I'm sure Marcus won't be moving for a while after this match. I admit, he has ability. Enough the beat a hibernating animal, but now...I am going to show XWA how an animal backed into a corner will grow claws and fangs.

Dante raises his hand in his own sign of victory.

Dominance hasn't been brought down, only raised to the next level. I brought Marcus and Myself through hell and back, the devil only favored one. Marcus I'm not going to wreak my vengeance on you now....but in the future, in the not so far future...I will reclaim what you took from me.

With that said, XWA expect a new era from me, expect undefined power. Expect, the next match....will be nothing less than brutality. Will be nothing less then the best out of me.

Dante glares straight into the crowd, grins, and lowers his microphone and begins to exit the ring.

[Osiris]

Osiris is still in the Parking Lot from his match, with the EMTs coming to check on Tyson Mannor, when he sees a TV and Dante's words. He finds the nearest cameraman, and a few minutes later, Osiris is on the Tron.

Osiris: You know Dante, your right. A new age of dominance is upon up. But, it will not be from you. No. It will be from me. You lost, while I on the other hand knocked my first opponent in XWA out cold. And if your going to be showing your best to us soon, I won't be expecting much out of you. I destroyed Tyson without so much as a scratch, while you on the other hand were left bloody and a broken man.

[atlasx0x]

Broken...ha. If anything is broken it is the shell that incased my true nature. Listen..punk, I stand alone here in this business, alone at the top. You may see through your eyes that I have lost, however I won one of the greatest prizes I could ever wish for. And you, beating someone without getting a scratch? Not much of a win if you ask me, I wrestle for dominance, I wrestle for challenge, I wrestle for power. Beating someone into the ground without feeling pain yourself isn't a victory in my book.

...when you are bloody, on your last strain of life, when nothing is left in your soul. When you crawl over, after being hit by what seems like ten thousand fists, crawling to the torn body of your opponent and getting that three count. That is victory. Feeling the rush of pain, adrenaline, anger, distraught, and power..feeling like no one can touch you even when you have been put down by the three count...that is victory.

Now, these are the reasons that I am undefeated...all these feelings, all these emotions, all this power I feel...I am always a victor.

If you want me to beat the hell out of you to show you power, I have no issues with that, if you want me to gore you into nothing, fine by me. But...I will...never...lose. I will never be broken, never be daunted by someone as....humerous as you.

Marcus...was a A-Game player, I admit he hits like the best of them. And that is what kept me driving to try and break him in two.

Osiris...the best have to lose sometime, or they would have no reason to be called the best...think on that.

Dante begins to go up the ramp, looking away from the tron.

[Osiris]

Osiris: Well, it's a good thing I don't read from your book, now isn't it? And no need to worry, I have felt the brutal blow of a loss before, and it is not something I care to feel again. And everyone has a different idea of what dominance is. Your's is getting beaten into a lifeless corpse and barely pulling of the victory. Mine is destroying someone without being hurt or injured. By the way, you mean "reasons why I WAS undefeated." You lost, regardless of how you see it.

[atlasx0x]

Suddently Dante walks up behind Osiris on the titantron, getting close to his ear Dante whispers.

I'm not hurt...nor am I injured. You should be the one worrying about getting hurt. Heheh, because...if you want something from me...come and get it. As far as I am concerned, it was mission accomplished tonight, that was to make myself known here in XWA. Known as someone not to be undermined. Its not how you win..its who you beat...in the same essence...its not how you lose..its who you lose to. In your eyes I lost to Marcus Samson...in my eyes I won for myself. I beat the hell out of that kid, I made him question himself in that match. Thats good enough for me, you say I lost? Fine I lost to one of the best. You say you won? You won against a rookie who probably hasn't even tasted victory. Think on that...

Dante walks out of the camera of the titantron.

~END of SPOILER, MOVING to PROMO~

[Osiris]

Osiris turns and looks Dante dead in the eyes, not amused or intimidated in the slightest.

Osiris: Go ahead and preach about how you see it, but I will repeat myself once. You lost. And you say it all depends on who you beat and who you lose to? That sounds more like a excuse then anything else. (mocking tone) Oh, it's okay, cause I lost to Samson. That makes me feel so much better. (regular) So what if my opponent was a rookie? All that means is I don't know what to expect from the guy. But you, I have you figured out. Even when you lose, you try to in your mind make it into your own personal win, trying to claim to being undefeated, even though the entire world saw you lose. So then, what is your excuse for when you lose to me?

[atlasx0x]

Dante turns around in a brief motion looks Osiris in the eyes with the most sternest of looks. Pearing into the red pools of blood Dante speaks only a few words.

The only reason I will lose to you is because I get disqualified for murder. Listen rookie, you need to keep your mouth quiet, you don't know who I am or what I can do. If you have ever seen a shark attack, a brutle beating, or a rogue wolf attack pray..imagine that but twice as worse. I am an animal, a demon, a being of unspeakable force. You have no right to question what I have accomplished.

Getting right into the face of Osiris Dante starts again in a louder tone.

I have sacrificed everything in my life to get here, I could have been anything I wanted to be...anything...but I was gifted with this power and I plan to strain it to it's limits. Boy, you are out of place here. I am power beyond containing, however it appears you want to test my already cracked shell. Prepare to remain a slave for the rest of your life and give into my dominance.

I don't need an excuse to call myself the winner, I don't need an excuse to show how dominating I can be. What the entire world saw was possibly the greatest match of brutality in the last decade. A feat that sadly I don't think I will be able to share with you again. Kid, you think you are big? You think you are demonic, at least judging by those clothes? You haven't seen a demon yet, Hell can't replace something as powerful as me in this world. Are you going to deny the savior in front of your eyes? Because that is exactly what I am going to be, a savior of your misery as I put you down for that three count.

Dante backs up, undaunted by the menacing look of Osiris.

[Osiris]

Now Osiris is amused.

Osiris: You? A demon? Ha. You know nothing of Hell or it's minions. And you have sacrificed your life? That is nothing. Imagine being in Hell itself, taking the worst it has to offer for centuries on end, never stopping. I don't need to imagine a shark attack, a beating, nor a rouge wolf and doubling it, cause that is nothing compared to Hell. And when we do meet, it will be Hell's power that you shall feel.

A slime slowly creeps onto Osiris's face.

Osiris: And who says it needs to be a 3 count? Maybe I should knock you out, same as I did Mannor. Think you can brawl with me?

[atlasx0x]

(Remember Osiris, this is a spoiler, not a promo. Can't call a match here. Just the confrontation.)

Dante looks back over his shoulder and grins, turning around he chuckles.

I'm not here in the Xtroidinary Wrestling Association to learn how to be a boxer. If I wanted to be a street thug I would be the god damn kingpin. If you want to face me it will be in the ring. You don't know me...Hell can hardly amount to the pain I am going to put you through. I don't care if you are Satan himself, I'll chastise your ass with holy water if that is the need be. I am, Atlas, a titan among men, a being of uncotainable power.

Anyways, I am not going to proclaim that it is a sure fire victory over you. I don't know what you are capiable, seeing as your match was schedualed OUTSIDE the wrestling ring, whilst mine was inside the champion's square. But when we do meet, Osiris, I will be sure to introduce you to a true demon.[/color]

[Osiris]

(OOC: Didn't you say this was moving onto a promo?)

Osiris: I don't need to be introduced to a demon, I have met all the greats in Hell, and you are not one. And holy water? Please. That only works on the weakest of demons. I am beyond that. I could be dunked inside a tank of holy water and I would come out the same way I went in. Anyway, I wasn't talking about boxing nor a street fight.

[atlasx0x]

(Okay this will be my last post here, then to promo when it opens, you can finish off the thread if you would like.)

Listen, I honestly don't give a care what match you want with me, I can rip a clown like you in two blindfolded. If your going to approach someone of my caliber and challenge me to a match, I expect respect. If you don't want to give it to me, I'll take it from you. I am here for respect in this business, and unfortunatly it is full of people not willing to give it to me. So I am forced to acquire it by other means.

So what ever trama your parents put you through for you to dress like a circus freak, get over it. This is the real world, its cold, barren, and hard pressed. You either win or lose in this world, there is no draw. So far, I am a winner, and you from the looks of it are playing on the opposite card.

A man once told me...whether or not I wanted to be a knight or just another pawn, I have made my decision. In my match this last night, I made it then, I dropped any form of remorse I had left in me, and feeling of mercy...that is a thing for the weak. I am power beyond containing, and it wouldn't be the same for me to hold my anger inside.

Dante, with swift last words states one opinional fact.

And you...Osiris, are a pawn. A pawn of whatever fake reality your mind is in. You are weak, you are the broken man here. And you will remain a slave for the rest of your life. And with that said, I need to go and clean up for the rest of the matchups tonight.

With that said, Dante turned around and walked into the back, but not without the thought in his mind, of what animal he had realeased into this world.
