Previously on…
The scene opens and we follow an IIW drone on a beautiful Monday morning, as it’s weaving itself in and out of the majestic Grand Canyon in Arizona. As it flies through, sometimes dropping as low as to where the Colorado river runs before climbing back up, right past many families enjoying whitewater rafting. It aims for a particular peak where a single person is sitting at the very top of. As the drone catches up to the person, we recognize him as Xavier Lux, sitting at the edge of this cliff with his legs pulled in and his arms resting on top of his knees. He is in Arizona for the week, as IIW comes to the Phoenix area for Combat’s next big show: Civil Unrest. He is dressed in hiking gear, having spent all morning climbing his way up to this popular spot in the canyon, though for the time being he finds himself all alone. As he sits there, admiring the vastness of the canyon, he takes a sip of water from his canteen and then removes his sunglasses, placing them over his bandana-covered head. He then turns to face the drone, finally acknowledging its presence. Xavier: Found me yet again huh? Well, I know why you are here so let's get to it. First things first: let’s address the whole Mecca situation… and I know a lot of people are shocked.. a lot of people are pissed, how dare he leave Combat during a time of transition?! How dare he go to “the other brand” and join the most amazing, talented individuals that brand has to offer?! Because let me tell you something, Fred Debonair, Kim Pain, Bam Miller and of course our World Champion J-Mont are the only talented people in Mayhem right now… I have seen Bam Miller grow leaps and bounds over the last two years and while we have been running parallel careers, and our paths barely crossing, I have respect for the man and his talent level. I know Kim Pain from CCPE and she could be consider Chris Page's right hand woman, so of course I would respect her and value her as a teammate... Fred Debonair is the rightful United Kingdom champion, anyone with half a brain cell can see that and he is the man responsible for me being in IIW so of course I respect the man and hold him in the highest regard... and last, but definitely not least.. J-Mont... He is currently holding three world championships; he is the best wrestler in the business and the whole Mayhem roster should be kissing his ass right now!He stretches his legs and then puts his arms to the side, palms down so he uses them for support as he leans back, tilting his head and closing his eyes to feel the warm, not yet burning, sensation of the Arizona sun which according to the locals just hits differently than anywhere else in the US, or the world for that matter. He smiles before continuing. Xavier: You see? The best of the best... So of course, they would band together against the rest of the promotion and of course I would jump at the opportunity to join them when invited… J-Mont doesn’t just invite anyone… He is as selective as they come when it comes to his inner circle, so when he asked me to join him, I didn’t have to think twice about it… I said: “hell yeah bruh, just tell me when and where and I am there”. The when was last month and where was The World's Collide Pay-Per-View and the War Games match and guess what boys and girls? We went into that match, we kicked so much ass, and the match was so one sided that all that was needed from me was one single move and the other team was done. Victory was Team Mecca's as expected, and now the question in everyone's mind is, what is next for not only the group, but for Xavier Lux, the- He sits up, grabbing a hand full of rocks and then begins to throw one at a time as he says… Xavier: Undefeated…Throw.Xavier: Undisputed…Throw.Xavier: Mega Star of Friday Night Combat!Throw.Xavier: Is he going to honor his contract and come back to Combat? Will he be a subject to Sebastian Hamilton's ruling after what Seb pulled at Riot Act? He throws a few more for effect.Xavier: OF COURSE I AM. He stands up and then takes a deep breath, getting his lungs filled of that dry air that gets filtered through the multicolored stones.Xavier: You all may think what you will of me, but I am a man of my word and if I said I was going to join Combat and make it the best brand in this promotion, than that is exactly what I am going to do... But no, I will not be a subject under that shmuck’s ruling and guess what? I am not coming back alone, sorry to burst your bubble Nightmare Court... But I am coming with the full backing of Team Mecca... I am coming with the support of our World Champion who has given me permission to start my own chapter of Mecca right here on Combat... So, for the whole roster, this is both good and bad news at the same time... Good because a man of the caliber like myself, will be here to help the ratings go through the roof, sell tickets and merchandise like never before... But bad, because if you are not in my very short list of possible candidates for Mecca, then that makes you my enemy... That makes you Mecca's enemy and what that means is simply this... You either fall in line, get out of the way or we end you... It all starts at the Civil Unrest Pay-Per-View when I not only embarrass the Nightmare Court again, but win not one but two championships in one match... That's right, you are looking at the next Uprising and Hardcore Champion: "Venom..." Xavier.. Lux. He winks at the drone who zooms back a little and comes around to the other side before Xavier continues. Xavier: So here we go, once again I must face against The Court, but instead of facing them one-on-one, two of them are being thrown at me plus El "Just Happy to be Here" Landerson! Here is a guy who clearly doesn’t deserve a title shot OF ANY KIND, yet Seb makes the same mistake the previous GM made and throws him in this match, if only to aid The Court in ensuring that I don’t win the gold and it stays inside their little group. Let’s call this what it is Sebastian, because it isn’t a fatal-four-way match, this is a 3-on-1 handicap match that you hope will go your way. But you know what? I like those odds, you know why? Because none of these fools are on my level! None could beat me one-on-one, so now that there is three of them, they probably think they have a chance… They probably think there is no way he can get past all three of us at the same time, right? WRONG. You see, while I may be facing all three of you at once, I only must pin one of you... and since anything goes, I can use any kind of weapon of my choosing and it will be all legal. He then reaches for the drone, grabbing it by the bottom so he doesn’t get his fingers chopped off like some idiots have done in the past. He brings the drone camara-to-face with him, its blades spinning furiously just above Xavier’s forehead but he isn’t bothered by it, his eyes are full of intensity, so nothing of what he is about to say gets lost in transmission.Xavier: For those of you that don't know me, I am a man who is known to get extreme... To be as hardcore as they come... Ultimate Tables, ladders, falls count anywhere, steel cage, single or double hell in a cell, ultimate x, prison yard, and so many other matches, I HAVE DONE THEM ALL! I have nearly killed many men in matches and have been almost killed myself, and those times, while rare and far in between, I have gotten up, dusted myself off and continued and here I am, ready for another hardcore war... So come one come all, Jack, Tex, El... There is nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before and while all three of you have fought me one-on-one and lost, when there are no rules, I am a whole different animal... and I know Jack likes to talk about preys and shit, but if there was ever a time where the three of you have become the hunted, it is now... So say a prayer, grab each other's hands and run... because the Venom is coming for all three of you.He gets a text notification on his iWatch, and he lets go off the drone who, almost if offended, zooms away from him but doesn’t leave just yet. The text is from his sister who tells him “she’s here”. He looks at it and then waves the drone off; dejected, it leaves. He pushes the mic and records an audio message. Xavier: I’m three miles up a mountain, I’ll see you in a little bit, you guys can take a nap or something, food on the table and drinks in the fridge. He sends the message and then walks over to where his backpack is. He takes one last, long zip of water before throwing the canteen inside and then closing it and throwing it overs his shoulders. He then begins to make the long decent down the mountain and the scene fades to black briefly. When it fades back in, it’s some time later and Xavier is now walking on a path that leads to a hangar-like cabin. The roof is made out of aluminum and so are the walls but the front has stone masonry and wooden windows and doors. There are wooden steps leading up to the entrance. There are a couple of rocking chairs, and in one of them we see Cassandra. Xavier notices that she is sitting at the edge of the rocking chair with her face buried in her hands and when he doesn’t see his nephew, he realizes something is not right. He quickly walks up the steps and dumps his backpack by the door. She looks up and throws herself at him, not giving a damn that he is covered in sweat. Xavier: Cass, what’s wrong? Where is Bray? She takes a moment to answer, but in between stutters she manages to blurt out… Casandra: They got him. Xavier: Who got him? She begins to cry uncontrollably, and all Xavier can do is hold her tightly, to prevent her from falling to the ground as her knees grow weak. He caresses her hair, with nothing but confusion on his face.
To be continued…

The scene comes back inside the cabin. Xavier and his sister are sitting at the kitchen table, both having a beer half full in front of them. Cassandra appears to be much calmer now. Xavier: What do you mean Don Andolini took your son? I thought The Don was dead, killed by our father. Casandra: That’s what I thought too… until I read the letter my father left me… You remember me telling you about it right? Xavier: Yes, though clearly, you clearly left some details out.Casandra: The reason I didn’t tell you we were in trouble or who or what the trouble was because I didn’t want to spook you right away or bring forth any sort of emotions that would make you not want to help me or want to be a part of our lives. Xavier: and you think me finding out this way is any better? Casandra: Well I’m sorry but I wasn’t planning on The Don finding us so soon and taking my son! Xavier: Alright, let’s put a pin on this, tell me exactly what happened. Casandra: We were coming out of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport, walking towards the limo we thought you had reserved for us. You know Bray, he got all excited as he usually does when he gets to ride a limo… he went in first and just as I was going to go in, the driver stopped me and closed the door. Then this man came from behind and grabbed me, pointing a gun to my back, as the limo driver got into the limo and drove off. Then he gave me an envelope, told me to walk away without making a scene or he would murder me right there and then. I did as told, and when I was back inside the airport, I opened the letter, and… well… She hands him the letter; he unfolds it and reads it out loud. Xavier: Occhio per occhio? What the hell does that mean? Casandra: It’s Italian, means an eye for an eye. Xavier: I didn’t know you spoke Italian.. Casandra: Took it in high school and college. Xavier looks at her puzzled and then continues reading. Xavier: Hello Cassandra, your father did well to keep you hidden from me for decades, but I have finally found you… and your son. But worry not, no harm will come to him, after all, he is not the son I'm after… I'm after your father’s son, tuo fratello Xavi. He looks up to her briefly and she nods towards him. He goes back to reading.Xavier: Bring him to me at the address below, tonight at 8PM and I will exchange him for your son. Fair warning, I know your father Scorpion was a jack of all trades and could pull all the stunts… He murdered me at least three times… yet here I am… Do not try to be like your father, it will only get the three of you killed. Do this right, and only your brother will die. With warm regards, Andolini. Xavier crumbles up the letter and tosses it aside. Cassandra studies him, not wanting to say anything to him that will trigger him. Xavier: I am not father, I am not an assassin… I don’t know what to do here but what the letter ask, go meet him and… Casandra: We should go to the authorities Xavier, get someone to help. Xavier: Nah, I’m sure he has people everywhere… My father said he had his hands everywhere world wide… The only thing that matters right now is saving Bray… We do the exchange, you and Bray get to safety and I’ll deal with The Don and my father’s sins… Casandra: But he’ll kill you. Xavier: Yeah, well, I killed his son… in self-defense, but I killed him. Just then there is a knock on the door and both look towards it. Xavier tells Cassandra to stay quiet by putting a finger to his mouth. He then slowly gets up and walks towards the kitchen where he slowly opens a drawer and takes out the biggest knife he can find. He walks towards the door and then is startled as he hears a voice he is surprised to hear. Braylon: Uncle X, is me, Bray, are you there?! Xavier opens the door without thinking twice and his nephew is there, all smiles, zipping on Slurpee and holding a hot dog. Braylon: Hey uncle, is my mom here? Oh hey mom! Bray walks over to his mom who grabs him and hugs him and kisses him in the head. She then looks at Xavier with a confused look on her face, and Xavier returns that same look at her.
Flashback
We go back to the spot where Cassandra has fainted slightly in Xavier’s arm. He quickly pulls out his phone and makes a call. Xavier: Hey Marcus, look I don’t know how or why but someone took my nephew. I’m about to send you his location, yeah, I put a tracker on this chain I gave him a few weeks ago… Yeah I know man, it was just a hunch, glad I was right, though not really. Look, get your men and go get him before whoever took him does something to him. Yes, thanks MK, I owe you.
Present Time
Xavier steps out of the cabin and there he finds his long time friend, and tag team partner Marcus Ka’Derrion, dressed in a black leather suit, black shirt and red tie. He wears leather gloves and has long curly black hair that he has pulled back and tied into a pony tail.Marcus: Sup brotha, we stopped at 7-11, kid loves Slurpee’s.. Xavier: Yeah he does. Thanks for getting him… any sign of The Don? Marcus: Nope, as soon as you sent me his location we got to the limo, forced it to stop and took care of the driver and Bray was never the wiser for it. He had fallen asleep in the backseat. Xavier: Thanks bro, I owe you one. Let me get back in there, I’m sure Cass has a lot of questions. Marcus: No worries, what are partners for? Plus I’m sure you do too.
Xavier sighs deeply.Xavier: Yes, I do. They hug, say their goodbyes and then Xavier heads back inside the cabin as the scene fades to black.
A few nights later
Xavier Lux is sitting in front of a firepit, drinking some Macallan whiskey, the IIW drone buzzing in front of him.Xavier: I don’t like to get handed things.
I like to earn my way, I like to earn my keep, I like to earn everything that I have ever gotten my hands on. Yes, I know I come across as very cocky and arrogant, as God’s gift to Friday Night Combat if not IIW as a whole… Especially for someone who hasn’t accomplished much in over a year but got a few title shots, some big time cross-promotional main event matches and a number four ranking in the world at the World Series of Wrestling… And sure, I’m rubbing shoulders with IIW’s World Heavyweight champion but like the saying goes… Greatness recognizes greatness.
But that doesn’t mean that I’m willing to take short cuts or take easy.
When I came to IIW it was with the understanding that I was starting all over again after putting in over a year’s worth of work into a promotion that didn’t value me at all and simply didn’t see me as championship material. It was that same understanding that told me that I was going to work twice as hard, and earn every victory the hard way… and Combat has been just that and then more for me… Regardless of how I may feel personally about everyone I’ve faced so far, they were tough opponents in four difficult matches. All of them are considered IIW staples and I have come out victorious after each one but none of those guys laid down for me… and I really hope they are not about to start now.
Where are you hiding Nightmare Court? Did beating two of your pillars in Tex Attwater and Jack Tyde cause your foundation to come crumbling down? Was I dropping Tex on his head and making Jack bleed badly enough for them to not want to go a second round with the man with venom in his veins? Or are you hiding now because with Sebastian Hamilton choosing to tuck his tail between his legs and choose a desk job instead, made you realize just how little of a chance you have against someone like me? Did you really become the court of owls instead and flew the damn coop? At least someone has shown his face, though not literally because he wears a mask to hide his hideous, boiled-covered mug… El Landerson… here you come with your backstage promo, delusional as ever. Oh, you are making your big come back to IIW?! Did anyone actually realize he was gone? I sure as hell didn’t, but at the same time I don’t worry about who comes and goes because the only one that matters in this brand is the man staring right back at me in the mirror, ME. So where did you go El? Took some time off to lick your wounds of the countless asskickings you have received over the months? Did you go get some physical therapy for your lower back from having to carry all them L’s? I hope I never have to watch one of your promo’s ever again, and I’ve only ever watched two, but my brain goes numb from listening to you talk… If I try to listen again, I’m going to be the one needing therapy, but the kind nobody wants to take… Listen to me very carefully El because I am going to say this as slow, and as clear as I possibly can.
-You-
-Do not-
-Have a chance-
-At winning-
-NOT the Uprising title-
-NOT the Hardcore title-
-NOT any title… EVER.-
Why you even mentioning the Global champion? MAN ARE YOU THAT STU-STU-STUPID? You haven’t even gotten past me, and you want to name drop Crush? He may have the name but come Civil Unrest, I am going to be the one doing the crushing… of your head, when I drop you right on it with The Cure…
El, do us all a favor after you lose this fatal-four-way match… Leave, retire, go do something, anything else but be any where near MY Combat show. You do not belong, I said last time we faced, and I’m saying it now.
Now back to you Tex and Jack… Where are you hiding? Training vigorously for yours truly? I doubt it… You didn’t take me that seriously the first time we met and that didn’t go that well for you… Maybe the Time Travelling Cowboy is stuck in the past somewhere…. Maybe The Lure of the Sea finally drown on his own frailties. Well, whatever the case may be with you two… Whether you are training really hard for me or taking me lightly once again, the result at Civil Unrest will be the same: “Venom” Xavier Lux, standing tall, undefeated, undisputed…. AND NEW Uprising and Hardcore Champion.
And then… I’ll turn my attention to the Television championship… Because as much as I hate Ben Hamilton… that man had vision… and seeing as he has given up the title of belt collector to be a paper pusher, don’t think he’ll mind if I pick that up myself and roll with it. Because while picking up wins is great, picking up gold is way better and I haven’t picked up a single piece in over a year. Your man Venom is thirsty... and at Civil Unrest, I am going to drink… my… fill.
He waves the drone off as he normally does as the scene comes to an end.
