Evil Always Wins

Jasper RedgraveJasper Redgrave, Promo

[An Altar.]

[A group of onlookers file through the door and take their seats within the pews.]

“Ladies and gentlemen..”

[An unknown, yet all so familiar voice booms throughout the altar.]

[The curtain behind the podium parts and the OSW World Champion himself steps out.]

[He’s dawned in a white robe, a heavenly glow accompanying him as he steps up to the podium.]

[A state of confusion spreads through the pews, as this is not the Reverend they had expected..]

“We are gathered here today to learn of a very important lesson.”

“A lesson in life which will surely keep you safe should you heed my warning, but could leave you in a grave sense of peril should you choose to ignore me.”

[A wide smile crossed The Killer King’s face.]

“A few short years ago, a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed young rookie cop entered the doors of Olympus with one thing in mind.”

“He, too, wanted to eradicate evil.”

[Jasper’s tone grows colder with each word.]

“Much like your beloved Reverend, he too, thought that he could single-handed stand up to the evil that courses through the very heart of Arcadia.”

“He spent months infatuated with one man. Everywhere his target went, he followed closely.”

“It became quite the game of cat and mouse, but inevitably, the rookie cop lost and one of his superior’s lives were lost.”

“Fast forward a few months to the grandest stage of them all. Red Snow.”

“The now chief of Arcadia’s police force stands just mere feet away.”

“Forced to watch as his brother’s neck is snapped by the very evil he failed to combat.”

[Jasper extends his arms, his hands being placed on the top corners of the podium as his smile twists into more of an evil grin.]

[Darkness.]

[All of the lights in the altar quickly go out. They’re replaced by dozens of candles.]

[The white garb that Redgrave once wore has seemingly turned black.]

[The heads of those that sat in the pew fall over, lifeless.]

“I am that evil.

“Jackson Cade thought that he could protect Arcadia from the violence that I create.”

“And in turn, he lost everything that he held dear.”

[Jasper’s face turns cold.]

“Are you ready to go down that path, Reverend Graves?”

“There’s no doubt in my mind that you will be there come Warzone, ready for a fight.”

“But this is not the fight you’re looking for.”

[Redgrave steps forward and hops down off the stage he once stood on. He walks through the aisleway amongst the lifeless bodies.]

“One quick snap is all it took for me to turn Jackson’s entire world upside down, and it’s all it’ll take for me to end your life.”

“You may come to Warzone thinking you’ll rid Arcadia of an evil that’s plagued it for so long..”

[Jasper opens the large double doors leading out of the building.]

“But in Arcadia, evil always wins.”

[Redgrave gives a bit of a maniacal laugh as he steps out the doorway, the big double doors swinging slowly to a close behind him.]

[Fade.]
