Witch Hunt

[The lights in the arena slightly dim, and Warlock's music begins to play, prompting the crowd to erupt in cheers]

Jim “The Amp” Johnson: It looks like Warlock is making his way down to the ring!

Warhead: And the fans are loving it already!

[Warlock walks onto the stage, nodding and pointing to some of the fans. He moves to the center of the stage, getting ready to pose, when a hooded figure attacks him from behind]

Jim “The Amp” Johnson: What the?! Who is that?!

[The figure picks Warlock up, then throws him off the stage to the floor below. The figure lowers his hood, revealing himself to be The Filthy Friar]

Warhead: Of course, it would be The Filthy Friar!

[The Friar jumps down to the arena floor, and picks Warlock up. Warlock unleashes a series of punches to The Filthy Friar, drawing cheers from the crowd. Warlock attempts to Irish Whip The Friar into the crowd barricade, but the Friar reverses it, sending Warlock back-first into it. The Filthy Friar finally picks Warlock up, and slams Warlock through a table. Emerging from backstage a few seconds later, Benjamin the Blessed appears, holding a microphone and lit candle]

Jim “The Amp” Johnson: Well you had to figure that if the Friar was around, Benjamin wouldn't be too far away.

[Benjamin stands over Warlock, then starts to pour the hot wax onto his body. Warlock's instincts take over, and he sits up in pain. Benjamin then smashes the candle over Warlock's head, knocking him out]

Benjamin: We heard you last week, Warlock. I was able to respond to you with actions, but now, I want to respond to you in words. You want the NRWL to stay the same, and that makes you our most outspoken enemy. We can not have people speaking against our mission, promoting the lifestyle of the heathens! You call yourself ”Warlock.” You celebrate the occult by that very act! This can not be. We will not allow this! The Filthy Friar will see to it that you are finally destroyed.

Warhead: These guys are insane!

[Benjamin the Blessed looks up from Warlock, then turns toward the crowd]

Benjamin: You are all witness to moment! The truth of your cult leader has been unraveled for all to see! The next time you see Warlock, his music will blast through the arena. Fire and explosions will burn and shake the surrounding concrete! You may be inclined to cheer for this man, to make your voice louder than the artificial sounds around you! But know this: The loudest your voice can go...will be nothing compared to the shrills of your soul, as it suffers for following false idols! Di te incolumem custodiant!

[Benjamin throws the microphone down and walks away with The Filthy Friar, leaving Warlock lying in the carnage]

Jim “The Amp” Johnson: I think we need help out here for Warlock! And who's going to stop the Holy Duo?!

Warhead: From what we've seen of Warlock so far, I think he'll be volunteering once he's recovered!
