[The Red Light District.]
[Or at least it used to be.]
[Jasper Redgrave walks amongst the rubble.]
“As I walk through the wastelands of the Red Light District, I can feel the end.”
[His hands are folded behind his back as he strolls through the wreckage.]
“For so long, Arcadia as a whole has been in shambles.”
“Many of it’s citizen’s stand in praise of Zeus. We’ve followed The Baron like blind sheep into our own untimely demise.”
“While he’s painted the picture of power and control, we’ve quickly began spiraling into chaos and destruction.”
“Criminals and violent serial killers now roam the levels of Arcadia freely.”
“The violence that was supposed to be contained to Olympus began bleeding through to the public.”
“Everything that once felt calm and secure suddenly began feeling dangerous. The civilians of Arcadia no longer feel safe.”
[He stops, kicking aside some debris from his path.]
“It all started here in the Red Light District. It was here, that the end of Arcadia was born.”
“It was this very instance that brought upon Apokalypsis.”
[His eyes search the rubble and debris surrounding him. With a heavy sigh, he continues.]
“The Uprising is Arcadia’s final hope, despite popular belief.”
“It is The Uprising that stands for the end.”
“The end of this charade that Zeus preaches. The end of the insecurity that fills the levels of Arcadia. The end of Zeus’ reign.”
“And this week, we have our chance to prove it.”
“I am the end of Apokalypsis.”
[Jasper turns to face the camera with a stern, cold, almost sadistic look in his eye.]
“If the door to the underworld is opened, it puts an end to my life’s work.”
“And that’s something that I simply can’t have.”
“There’s much more artistic beauty to be explored here in Arcadia.”
“At NXT Level, it will be I who stands across from Apokalypsis inside that ring.”
“It will be I who sings EMM the tune of his outro.”
“And it is I that will clear Arcadia of the pestilence that has plagued us for so long.”
“After this week, John the Revelator’s Book of Revelation’s will be forced to close before it ever opens.”
“Instead, he will be left to write of the End of the Apokalysis.”
“A new day is upon us, and it’s begins with the defeat of EMM and Gemini.”
[Jasper turns away from the camera and continues his stroll. As he does, however, something strange happens.]
[The Red Light District begins to rebuild!]
[Computer generation starts piecing the district back together, becoming a mirror image of what it used to be.]
[Life once again surrounds Jasper within the district.]
“It’s time that we begin to rebuild Arcadia.”
“It’s time that we start anew.”
“And to do that, we must bring this past chapter of our history to an end.”
“This week, I will put an end to Apokalypsis.”
“With that, The Uprising and a new era of Arcadia can truly begin.”
[Jasper poses amongst the computer regenerated Red Light District with his arms out to either side.]
[Fade.]
