A Salvation Mass

by **Shadow Demon** August 14th 2009, 5:22 am

-August the 14th, 12:30 AM, Beverly Hill Hotel, Los Angeles, USA-

Shadow woke with a start. His body was clothed in sweat, from the nightmare he had just had. He looked over to Rouge, who was lying on the other side of the bed. “She looks beautiful” Shadow thought, running his hand softly over her hair, as not to wake her. He slowly got out of bed and walked over to the window, rubbing his head with one of the hotel towels on the way. He looked out the window, running his hands through his hair as he did so. He looked out at the crowded city, the moon and stars barely visible under the cloudy sky. He turned back to face the apartment. He sighed. He was supposed to get the briefcase back last week. And then, what the hell happened?! Nick Ridicule mugs him, and then dresses up as him to get the title. Shadow would have hit something in frustration, but he didn’t want to wait Rouge, so he decided to just fume silently.

Shadow walked around in the darkness, looking for ways to waste time. Eventually, he had an idea. Every hotel usually had a bible, right? So, he would get it, and just read it in the toilet until he fell asleep. He walked over to where the bedside drawer was, and pulled out the bottom one. He felt around in it, and touched the cover of the bible. He grabbed it and slowly shut the draw, and walked over to the bathroom. He quietly opened the door, and stepped inside. He slowly shut the door and turned on the light. He sat down on the toilet seat, and looked at the cover of the bible. His eyes narrowed as he read it. It read: “The Bible of Salvation”. Shadow groaned. “What the hell is this?!” He thought, studying the inside of the so called “Bible of Salvation”. “Just another trick” He thought, “Just trying to mess with my head”. Shadow spoke quietly as he stood up.

Shadow Demon
Nice try, Mr. Ridicule.

He was about to walk out of the bathroom, but he just couldn’t. He was interested in the bible. Maybe it wouldn’t be the bore he had been expecting. So, he walked back and sat back down on the toilet seat, and flipped open to the first page of the bible. Shadow again spoke quietly as he read.

Shadow Demon
In the beginning, there was the one God, Brenton Cyrus...

Shadow chuckled and shook his head, but still kept reading.

Shadow Demon
Brenton Cyrus, with Chuck Matthews at his right hand, brought Salvation to the No Limit Wrestling Federation. Brenton Cyrus saved the No Limit Wrestling Federation from sin and evil, he saved it from the black disease of Cyber Punk...

As Shadow kept reading he got more and more engrossed in the book. Hours passed as he kept reading, he had read almost through the entire book before tiredness overcame him. As he fell into sleep, he suddenly disappeared...

-5:20 AM, The Mass of Salvation-

Salvation Priest
All may now stand...

Shadow looked around him, shocked. He was inside what looked to be a small chapel. All around him were people wearing Salvation clothing. They all stood up, and he decided to stand up as well. Around the chapel were pictures of all the people who had been crucified Salvation, and also all the championships that Salvation had ever won. Shadow turned and looked at the priest, who had just finished reading out a passage of the Bible of Salvation.

Salvation Priest
The word of The God Brenton Cyrus, Amen.

Shadow saw that the others said amen as well, so he slipped in an Amen as well. He came in a bit late though, and the priest noticed.

Salvation Priest
Ah, it seems we have a new follower among us, brothers.

The crowd all turned to Shadow, muttering about themselves.

Salvation Priest
Please, step out the front, newcomer.

Shadow paused for a moment, wondering what he should do, before deciding that the right thing would be to walk out to him. So Shadow moved his way out of the pew, before walking out to the front.

Salvation Priest
Tell me, newcomer, have you accepted the lord Brenton Cyrus into your life?

Shadow Demon
No...not yet...

Salvation Priest
Do you want to?

Shadow suddenly felt an impulse to say yes. He had secretly admired what Salvation had been able to do on Direct Hit, and wondered that if there would ever be any chance to join them.

Shadow Demon
...Yes.

The priest smiled.

Salvation Priest
Have you ever been baptised?

Shadow Demon
No.

Salvation Priest
You must be baptised if you want to accept the lord Brenton Cyrus as your personal saviour. Are you ready to become a follower of Salvation?

This time, Shadow had no doubt in his mind about the answer.

Shadow Demon
Yes, yes I am.

The Salvation Priest then called for a bowl of water to be wheeled out, and for the rest of the congregation to sit. Once the bowl had been wheeled out, the priest climbed up behind the altar and began to speak.

Salvation Priest
We are gathered here today to welcome a new follower of Salvation into our congregation. This man has decided to accept the lord Brenton Cyrus into his life as his one and only God. We will now purify him with the blessed water of our streams.

The priest slowly walked down to Shadow, and put both hands on his head. He slowly lowered Shadow’s head into the bowl of water, and held it under for a couple of seconds, before lifting it back out. From the moment Shadow’s head had been lifted up, his features had obviously changed. His hair was now read, and his nose had grown bigger, and his teeth were almost like daggers that had been stuck into his gums. The priest smiled at him, and made the sign of the cross with his fingers on Shadow’s forehead.

Salvation Priest
Go now, follower, to love and serve the lord Brenton Cyrus.

Shadow nodded, and suddenly felt like he was falling, before he woke up on the toilet, the bible of Salvation in his hands. He looked to the window and was assaulted by light. It was morning. Just as he was about to get up, when Rouge opened the bathroom door, and stared at Shadow.

Rouge
Uh...

Shadow Demon
It’s not what you think!

Shadow Demon
Now, before you all go into an uproar about me betraying everyone because I’m joining Salvation, let me just say a few things. Nick Ridicule and Ashley Matthews, and so on aren’t actually that bad. I mean, come on, who doesn’t like Cyrus? Pretty much everyone is friends with him, and he’s still part of Salvation! I’m finally agreeing with Salvation. They are the cure. The virus is all of the washed up and finished acts like Johnny Styles, The Mexican Samurai, and so on. I am finally tired of being called a stupid, choking clown. I’ve had enough of it! I’m proud to call myself a follower of Salvation.

:And my opponent for this week is...:

Shadow Demon
BOBBY OCEAN!! Wow! The most useless superstar of the NLWF! Well, maybe besides Razor Xtreme, but still. Ocean, call it down the line, you don’t deserve that Freedom championship. You couldn’t beat Cyrus without the help of, yes I’ll say it, the worst team of the year, Rossi’s Rebellion!! You should really ditch them, Ocean. You could really be something! But no, you decide to hang out with ‘buttheads’ like Bobby O’ Day, and Adam Williams! I’m sorry, Mr. Ocean, but your reign as Freedom is over. Pack it in Ocean, because I’m going to show you the brutality Salvation can bring to a man.

:Salvation gives you wings!:
