I'm Back!

by Ryan Apollos April 25th 2010, 10:58 pm

The scene opens in the middle of a wooded area, birds are seen flying over head and animals are running all over the place. One stops as it sees something in a clearing. The animal walks over and sees that it’s a person unconscious, lying face down in the ground. The animal sniffs the person and at that moment the person begins to move, the animal scurries away in fear. The man looks around confused as to where he is at. He stands up and stumbles over to a tree that is in front of him. The guy looks around again but remains confused.

???: Where am I?

“Well it seems you finally are awake.”

???: Huh, who’s there?

“I see you don’t remember at all.”

The man turns around and sees nothing. He walks around the clearing and still sees that there is no one there. He begins to become frantic.

???: Hello? Where are you? Who are you?

“I believe the better question to ask is, Who am I?”

???: I… I don’t know.

“Think, think. Deep down you know who you are. Think, think.”

???: I don’t know. I… Wait, it’s starting to comeback, my name… My name is Ryan Apollos.

“There you go.”

Ryan Apollos: Now the only thing left is to find out who the hell are you?

“Oh come now Ryan, you know who I am. You and I are closer than anybody you may know. I am closer than your father. I am closer than your mother. I am closer than your sister. I am closer than your brother. I am closer than Alexis Moon.”

I begin to think as I walk. I stop as I come up to a fresh water lake and kneel down. I take a handful of water and splash my face with it. I look down at my reflection and a look of confusion comes back to my face.

“I am closer than you think.”

I fall backwards as I see that the voice is coming from my reflection. I look even more confused now than I was seconds ago.

“What’s the matter never seen a reflection speak to you before? I told you I was closer than you think. Now do you see that I am you?”

Ryan Apollos: I don’t get it. If you’re supposed to be me than how is this possible?

“Okay, let me rephrase that, I am not exactly you, but rather you’re psyche. I am merely a vision your mind is allowing you to converse with. But I have been free for a while. You see you were dead. And dark and evil figures crucified you to a cross to finally put you away. But you were given a second chance, a chance to redeem yourself. You see during your time in the afterlife, You had become a vessel, an empty shell and that nothing could save your body. So the only logical thing to do was for me to take control of your body and bring your body to safety. For I knew that you would be given a second chance. You’re life was taken from you too soon. You had let people step on you. After Alexis was murdered, you became emotionally unstable. Everywhere you went you became a threat to humanity. The only way to put an end to your misery was to put you down like an animal. That is why about a month and a half ago, you were killed."

Ryan Apollos: WHAT?! That’s impossible?!

“It wasn’t impossible. You see there is an old saying that goes ‘Death is only the beginning’ and that was so true to you. For you see the one true god.”

Ryan Apollos: Okay stop right there, I know most of my memories are still missing but I remember rebelling against some jerk who claimed he was a god.

“You are correct Ryan, his name is Brenton Cyrus. But during your “death,” Brenton ended his crusade as most people called it by disbanding Salvation the very same group that you fought to destroy. He felt like there was no more need for gang wars to occur. Now as I was saying, the one true god, who is not Brenton Cyrus, came to me and presented this task. To take control of your body while he clenses you’re soul of all impure problems that had arisen in the past six months. He wanted me to make sure nothing happened to your body. So about two or three weeks after your body was placed on The Hill in the City of Salvation, it returned to life.”

Ryan Apollos: Like a zombie?

“Sort of. You see, your body had returned to life with me behind the wheel, so to speak. You see despite your death your body could still be moved. But your body had become nothing more than a soulless transport for your psyche.”

Ryan Apollos: You mean you.

“Exactly. I managed to escape The Hill somehow, make it out of the City of Salvation by some miracle without getting caught. And proceeded to make my way into the forest and let me tell you this is one huge forest. I managed to find a safe place right here on this lake and proceeded to make a shelter to protect your body till your soul returned.”

Ryan Apollos: The funny thing is I don’t remember wearing this, I do know remember how I died but I was not wearing this.

“Oh that reminds me. One of the ways I managed to survive was that I found some hiker and I kind of “borrowed his stuff.”

Ryan Apollos: You didn’t kill him did you?

“Oh for the love of god, no. I wouldn’t kill someone when I gave a promise to god himself to take care of your body. I simply knocked him out and took his backpack. Though you were already wearing the cargo shorts.”

Ryan Apollos: I remember that much.

Ryan Apollos shifts through the pockets of his shorts and pulls out a deck of cards. These did not look like any ordinary playing cards though.

Ryan Apollos: Tarot Cards?

“No, not tarot cards. I do remember these as some kind of keepsake you always had with you, after all I am part of your mind. So I do have some of your memories.”

Ryan Apollos: Oh that’s right. I remember these, I always had them with me as a good luck charm after I became a pro wrestler. A lot of good they did me.

Apollos puts the cards back in his pocket and began to walk towards a path just about fifty feet from the lake as the screen fades.

-The Match-

Well guess who is back. That is correct “The Slayer” Ryan Apollos. Old attitude, old style of fighting and a whole new out look on life I am prepared to take on anyone who thinks I am an easy opponent. I was not mentally sound two months before. Every week a different emotion controlled me. Though I have no damn clue which one controlled me enough to let Brenton kill me, but whatever.

Anyways, guess Jason has accepted my open challenge. Which is ironic cause about three weeks earlier we were both on the inactive list, we both faced each other in our NLWF debut back in October and we both have known each other for close to a year. It’s almost come full circle and the end of the circle will involve me standing victorious at the end of the night while, Fakie McLiarpants, will be outshined for the second time in two weeks.

Screen fades to black.
