Herb Brooks Center
12:00 AM
The camera fades in to the arena, all emptied out and dark with a light glow in the stands. The ring has been taken down, and where there were once fans and chairs, there are candles burning. In the center there lies The Dreaded Demon on his back. You can see a circle around him, and as the camera gets closer and closer to his face, the light glow of his white and black paint outlines where spots have rubbed off due to his match against Maxwell and Berlin. Death starts to speak quietly, with the camera barely picking up his words...
Death
Tonight...tonight was not in vein. Another mark in the losing column, another blemish on my non-existent record. Another lesson for those around me to learn what is really important. Maxwell...the look of desperation on your face as Berlin covered me for the 1...2...3...do you feel cheated? Should I have taken the victory for myself? No. Instead, I allowed you a chance to embrace what really mattered...a chance to live again. A chance to become motivated...a chance to appreciate what others take for granted...
Death's eyes widen...as he stands up and gets louder, more aggravated..
Death
And everyone around me wants to show their disapproval? They heckle me? BOO ME? And for what? They don't want to see these people...the one's who put their bodies on the line to go that much further and destroy what they were given in this life? No. Ha....no. THE BLAME FALLS ON THEM! My days here are yet numbered, as are the rest of these so called "heroes" they choose to cheer over me! And yet, I'm speaking to soon. For as I attempt to teach those like Valquist...like Maxwell..the message is clouded for those who choose not to see it. And who chose not to see it tonight? That's you Berlin.
Death steps out of the circle and walks to a group of candles in the front row, and as the camera pans closer to them, names can be seen attached to the wax. Names such as Lucas McCann, Mr. E, PKA, Cera, Maxwell, Serra....Berlin...
Death
You see Berlin...you are no different than the rest. You have a flame that glows bright with the rest of these so called "Visionaries" and you have made a name here using me. And I have only one thing to say...you and I are finished. Create your legacy...AND CEMENT YOUR IMMORTALITY. For as I see it, the day will come when...just like the flame of a candle...your light along with the rest...will be snuffed out...thanks to Death!
With that last word....Death blows out all the candles and the scene ends.

Unknown time
Camera opens up to a TV screen, with a focus on VOW's Breakthrough 9 announced card. During the video, Darius Yates can be heard on the broadcast talking about the opening fatal fourway match up featuring two additions to the roster in Judas and Ziu, and two wrestlers with matches under their belt Patrick and Death. The audio picks up when Darius gets a question about Death.
Darius Yates
....and then we have Death, who is otherwise known as The Fallen One...or The Dreaded Demon. He's made quite a name in VOW, but not because of his impressive win streak. Instead, and get this, he only cares about teaching his opponents to appreciate their life. Not much is known about this guy. We've even had a few of his own opponents laugh him off because of his self-proclaimed name.
News Reporter
With a name like Death, it's hard not to take the guy seriously. And he's already lost two matches since he's been here. You're telling me that this guy believes his own hype enough to pick a name that many associate with the grim reaper? That just because he has a scary moniker, others have to take note of him?
Darius Yates
That's the thing! He doesn't care what others think of him or his name. There still isn't a lot known about him. Maybe he has the name so others don't take him seriously or underestimate him. But as he's said before, he doesn't care about being recognized. All he cares about is teaching those who go through life carelessly to show themselves a little bit more respect. Which is why I believe Death may have his hands full with the three men who he will be facing. As I said before, you have one who is obsessed with selfies, one who is flanked by groupies, and one who tried to keep it loose and not take things too seriously. If there is anything consistent with Death by the time this match starts, I'm sure he'll have a field day trying to manage who he teaches, and what lesson or lessons will be learned once it's over.
Dairus and the news reporter continue on down the card as the audio fades along with the scene..

Camera opens to darkness...all that can be heard is footsteps against pavement. A soft yellow begins to enter into the frame, then just as slow a body appears. Only the bottom half is seen as they keep walking towards nothingness, then a door comes into view. A hand reaches out from the body to open the door, and inside are candles...but only four. Across each one lies a name of each competitor for the fatal four way: Patrick Jones, Judas Dathan, Zui Zhong...and Death. The camera pans up to the face of the visitor, and it is the Fallen One himself with a smile on his face.
Death
Ashes to ashes....like me...they have all fallen. Fallen down into their own image. Fallen down into their own product...their own self worth. Their sad, small, weak self worth. And with each fallen person comes a sad, small, weak flame. Five other men have put forth their wanna be greatness in front of me, and some would say they have succeeded....IN SPITE OF ME! IN SPITE OF THEIR TEACHINGS. But they have the flames of puppets whose stings all pulled in the name of glory. Glory....haha....glory fades as life fades. And gentlemen, the three of you have the weakest flames yet AS GLORY HAS CONSUMED YOU.....whole...
Death walks to the candle of Patrick Jones
Death
Patrick....Jones...you have been placed here with the likes of me for a chance at redemption. For a chance to right the wrongs of your past failures. But you don't see it that way, do you Pat? How can you? Carefree, laid back, happy. HAPPY? Do you understand that the only redemption is to give in to those failures and embrace what's coming to you. And here you are, in a
contest with one of the biggest failures in VOW in the past month. Maybe
it is I who will find redemption through you. That doesn't work. That doesn't work as there is NO REDEMPTION for the fallen. And you have fallen so low Patrick, and before long...the only laid back you'll be....is in your final resting place.
Death blows out Patrick Jone's candle and walks to Judas Datan's
Death
Names. What is in a name Judas? What's in a name such as Death? They may say Death is to be laughed at...Death is to be mocked...but Judas...there's more to names than just how others see you isn't there? But you don't understand. How could you? THE GREAT BETRAYER? THE ULTIMATE BACKSTABBER....Judas. And how does it feel to have a name associated with one who caused those to be butchered and maimed in the biblical times? How much in common do you really have with one who turned his back on someone who could have SAVED. US. ALL? You have all the great sins around you...the looks of a model...the followings of men and women who are at your beck and call. And you need protection from them? No...Judas...no...you need protection from what you deserve...payment for your soulless transgressions. You may have not betrayed a savior, but you have betrayed the gift of life. And for that, you too will find in me your final resting place.
Death blows out Judas Dathan's candle and walks to Ziu Zhong's candle
Death
Truly a broken soul like my own. And yet, instead of taking his tragedy, instead of taking the lesson he was given by his parents, his source of life...he uses it for self gain. THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS....not how it works at all. Look at all the pictures you have taken of yourself Ziu...take a good hard look at your "work of art" and tell me what you see when you strip away the layers of lies. I see an ugliness that even now your parents wouldn't love. Their own son taking his gift of life and a chance of self reflection, taking that and using it for his own gain? IS THAT WHAT LIFE MEANS TO YOU? You and I, perhaps we aren't as equally broken as we should be. No, no you instead have only replaced that hole in your heart not with a greater understanding of the value of life, but with a gross disregard to the importance of sacrifice. A sacrifice and a gift that you HAVE NO RIGHT TO ENJOY! "Mr Selfie" will soon turn into "Mr Nobody" because once there are no more cameras for you to pose for, what do you have left? Not your parents, not your imagine, and not your self respect. All you have left is the rest of your life, but even that....like this flame...will burn out...for like you, it is weak. And I will be the one to guide you to your final resting place...
Death blows out Ziu Zhong's candle before finally moving on to his own
Death
And what of me? What of my flame? Ha...my flame is the weakest of all. It shines the least. It burns out the quickest. For I don't add fuel to my own candle. I don't need to feel the warmth of my own image, of my own following, of my own happiness....for like the rest of you, soon my flame will be snuffed out, and when I go down to my final resting place...you will all be there as I have sent you...waiting for me...
Death blows out the final candle and the scene ends there...
