Steel Angel [vs] Death-Angel

[The scene reopens as I'm pulling to the lot of clubhouse and garage on my Dyna Superglide Harley, I'm wearing my Saints cut, a black "Reaper Crew" t-shirt, army green combats and a pair of black and white skater trainers. I pull up in my parking spot and head toward the clubhouse where I'm greeted my Jax, Irish, Ryan, Jensen, Sammy, Jared, Ortiz, Eddie, Wes, Jimmy, Les and Winston... We exchange greetings before we go to head inside but as I go in Winston pulls me back... I look to the others...]

Angel: We'll be in, in a second...

[The others head in as I stand outside with Albert...]

Angel: What's up pops?

{Winston is one of the first nine along with my father and Caine and is in his mid sixties which is why we call him pops and is the father of Jax}

Winston: Hows Aeryn doing?

Angel: Not good pops... She hasn't spoken since Canada...

Winston: Anyone with her?

Angel: My mum came back with her...

Winston: So it's true your mum is back in town? Does Caine and Kate know?

Angel: Haven't really thought about it pops... Been a lot happening lately...

Winston: You mind if I go visit your mum later... Been ages since I saw her last...

Angel: Sure she's saying at my place...

Winston: Just watch Caine and Kate things didn't end to well the last time your mom was in town...

Angel: My mum is here to be with Aeryn that's it... She doesn't want anything to do with the club so Caine and my aunt have nothing to worry about!

Winston: Just be careful things have been chaotic around here while you were gone!

Angel: Angeli?

Winston: Among other things... Anyway better not keep our fearless leader waiting... But it's good to have you back home...

Angel: Good to be back home!

[I head into the clubhouse and as I do my aunt Kate rushes over to me wraps her arms around me the moment I set into the main room...]

Kate: My boy is home!

Angel: It's good to be back home aunt Kate...

[The door to church opens and out walks Caine...]

{Church is the room where we hold club meetings in and the meetings are often referred to as Church}

Caine: Ah the prodigal son returns...

[I smirk at him...]

Angel: Good to see you as well old man...

Caine: Lets get down to business, church now!

[All the patched members in Saints head into church while the others wait in the main room. A lot of club business is discussed as well as the rising tension the Saints have with the Angeli during the meeting. After the club business is settled Caine ends church session with a bang of his gavel... We all get up and go to leave but Caine pulls me back to talk... Ryan, Jax and Winston go to stop as well but I wave them off and they leave church closing the doors behind them leaving myself and Caine in church by ourselves, Caine takes his seat at the head of the table...]

Caine: So you have fun up in Canada?

[I look at him with a puzzled look...]

Angel: I rescued my old lady...

Caine: You know what kind of trouble that can bring down on us?

[I look at him with an slightly annoyed and puzzled look.]

Angel: They took my old lady so I went up their and rescued her...

Caine: You know who you killed...

Angel: Some wetback that was going to rape my old lady!

Caine: He's the son of their President... Not to mention nephew of a high ranking member in the Mexican cartel!

[I look at him and feel my blood start to boil...]

Angel: He kidnapped and was going rape my old lady, hopefully someday the mother to my children...

Caine: Where's your proof...

Angel: I was fucking there... He had a gun to her fucking head and ripped her top off... What the fuck do you think he was going to do...

Caine: I hope that bitch is worth is cause she's clouded you damn judgement and has been nothing but a damn...

[My blood feels like it's boiling and I lose it as I grab Caine and slam him to the wall by his throat causing his chair to slam hard into the wall as well...]

Angel: If you ever talk that way about Aeryn like that again, I will pound those hands so hard into that table, you wont ever be able to hold that gavel again that alone ride a damn motorcycle!

Caine: Try it and I'll put you down like the little dog you are! If it's not that wench that has your head turned its another... And I hear the queen bitch herself is in town...

[I feel my fist ball up and am about to punch him when Winston, Ryan, Jax, Irish and Eddie burst in...]

Ryan: Bro you need to to get your arse to Saint Mary's it's Aeryn...

[I slam my fist into the wall inches from Caine's head before I let go of Caine who slumps down into his chair...]

Angel: What happened?

Ryan: Your mum called... She found Aeryn in the bathroom out cold in the bathroom with blood everywhere!

[I race out of the club house followed by Ryan, Jax, Irish, Jensen, Sammy, Jared, Ortiz, Wes and Winston and I jump on my bike and race off to the hospital with the others following close behind.... About fifteen minutes later we arrive at Saint Mary's Hospital, we rush through reception and head to the emergency department where we find my mum Tessa waiting...

Angel: What happened, where's Aeryn?

[I start to panic so my mum wraps her arms around me...]

Tessa: Andrew she's been seen by the doctor now... She was getting a bath and the next thing I hear is a loud crash and when I went to check on her she had the door locked, once I managed to get through the door I found her unconscious and covered in blood with a slither of broken mirror laying beside her on the floor...

[I try to understand what my mum is telling me but my mind just can't seem to understand it... As I stand there trying to understand what happened Aeryn's doctor and mentor Doctor Hunt approaches me...]

{Despite getting distracted by my lifestyle Aeryn is well on her way to become a doctor which is something she's worked hard for since high school with a lot of help from her mentor Doctor Hunt.}

Doctor Hunt: Ah Andrew... Can I have a word...

Angel: Sure doc...

[I follow her into a side office and she closes the door behind me...]

Hunt: First off Aeryn is ok for now, we've had to sedate her as she appeared to have deep self inflicted wound on her arms not to mention the bruises and cuts that have seemed to have started healing... As a result we've had to transfer her to psych watch and restrain her to the bed for her own good but we've managed to stop the bleeding for now but I'm seriously worried about her mental state... I'm not going to hide the fact that I'm not keen on some of her personal choices but despite your chosen lifestyle you seem to be a good influence on her... She has a brilliant medical mind and has accomplished a hell of a lot in her time so far... But I'm worried for her as she seems to have suffered a mental breakdown and with your how should I put this politely...

Angel: My lifestyle?

Hunt: Your Lifestyle I was hoping you might be able to shed light on any psychological trauma that she may have sustained... I need you to be honest with me Andrew... She needs help...

[I feel my legs go beneath me and I manage to slump into a nearby chair...]

[Scene Ends]

[The scene reopens at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, I walk through the backstage area dressed in my I Stand Alone cut, baggy jeans and a pair of black and white trainers along with a black baseball cap while I'm on the phone to my mum back home.]

Angel: How is she?

Tessa: She's still out cold... Anything changes I'll let you know... Just handle your business and then come back here ok... She needs you...

Angel: I didn't want to leave...

Tessa: I know you didn't hun but you would of ended up getting sued and right now you need to have a break and take out your frustrations... You're like your father you both let your anger build up until you reach a breaking point... So do what you do and beat the crap out of Marcus Silverstone and show that you are what you say you are and that's the Best Wrestler In The World Today!

Angel: Thanks mum... I got to go but call me if anything changes with Aeryn... No matter the time... If you can't get me you have AJ's number...

[I look up and see AJ standing infront of me...]

Angel: Speak of the devil... Listen mum I got to go speak to you in a bit and remember any changes...

Tessa: You're the first person I call... Bye Hun!

[I hear the dial tone as I slip the phone back into jean pocket and smile at AJ who's dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a black and red checked blouse...]

AJ: How is she?

Angel: Not good...

AJ: Sorry to hear... She get the flowers I sent...

Angel: Yeah thanks for those...

AJ: No problem... are you ready for your match with Crimson Skull...

Angel: Yeah, Thanks...

AJ: thats good any thing new...

Angel: besides Returning to the ring.

AJ: that sounds great...

Angel: Yeah it is!

AJ: Oh and Javier Sanchez is waiting on the sound stage for you, I'll lead the way...

Angel: Thanks...

[I follow AJ who walks down the corridor and after a few turns we come on the sound stage where Javier Sanchez has his camera set up...]

Sanchez: Hey Death Angel...

Angel: Hey... You mind if I just say what I gotta say and then head off... Sorry got a lot on my mind at the minute...

Sanchez: No problem...

[I stand on the sound stage infront of the camera as Javier Sanchez cues me in... 3...2...1..]

Angel: So at Heroes Also Die I face Crimson Skull in my return to IWF.


[I pause...]

Angel: At Heroes Also Die you will see the Rise of a new Angel.

[I look directly into the camera...]

Angel: Insurgency Wrestling Federation will see dark days as Death Angel returns to the ring once again with a new goal and that is to become the IWF World Champion and to take out my own brother Steel Angel.

[I walk away from the camera as the scene fades...]

[Screen opens up to Angel and Aeryn walking up a hill. Angel's wearing jeans, a black T-shirt with a backwards black on black baseball hat. Then it jumps to them together on a couch.]

Angel - Whats good...

Aeryn- and I'm his wife Aeryn Savage.

[Angel and Aeryn smile. Then it cuts to Sara and her new boyfriend Skyler Johnson.]

SJ - What's up I'm Skyler and this is my girlfriend Sara.

Sara - Hi everyone!

[Cut back to the hill. The two couples walk up to a gate. A tan man pops out from there.]

Host - Hello and welcome to our hotel. Angel, Sara, you two are coming with me.

[Angel looks confused while Sara sits there with her dumb smile on her face.]

Host - Skyler, Aeryn, you two will be going home.

Aeryn - Oh no way you're not letting me in somewhere. I'm Aeryn Savage bitch!

[Security grabs Aeryn and helps Skyler leave. Aeryn keeps cursing as she's dragged away from the hotel.]

Sara- Andgel, like, this is going to be soooooo much fun. I can't wait!

Angel - AW Fuck.

[The scene cuts to a van where Aeryn is steaming. Skyler just sits not non-chalantly. The driver speaks.]

Driver - You two aren't really going home. You're going to a separate hotel to spy on your significant others.

Aeryn - What? Why am I being banned again from staying with Andrew? He's not better than me.

SJ - Cool, man.

[Scene cuts to Angel and Sara checking into their room.]

Angel - Guess I'll take this bed.

[Angel puts his suitcase on a bed.]

Sara - So this is the bed we're sleeping on?

Angel - This is the bed I'm sleeping on.

Sara - Cool, I'll like put my pillow over there because I just bought this special little pillow.

Angel - Kiddo, you're sleeping on that bed.

Sara - Why would I do that your sleeping on this one? That's silly!

Angel - You're still fuckin weird. I'm married to Aeryn.

Sara - I know, I think that's kinda hot.

Angel - What are you talking about? You and Skyler are dating.

Sara - Yeah, for like a month.

Angel - A Month?

Sara - Yeah, I met him after are little thing in NLWF at another house show.

Angel - Yes i remember are little thing but we will never happen again ever.

Sara - You look hot in those jeans.

Angel - This weekend is gonna blow big time.

[Scene cuts to the hotel room where Aeryn and Skyler are staying. It's a very low class hotel.]

SJ - I'll take this bed.

[Skyler jumps on a bed and lays down.]

Aeryn - What the hell is this hotel? Do they not know who the fuck I am? I'm Aeryn Savage, bitch! I don't deserve this shitty ass hotel! Give me a phone I'm calling my agent this is bullshit.

[The host walks in.]

Host - Welcome to the Effect. You can see where your significant other is on that TV. Angel is the green light and Sara is the red. First off you have to opportunity to either listen to but not watch them at a day spa or watch but not listen to them play a game of basketball.

SJ - Basketball.

Aeryn - Shut up Skyler I'm picking! Basketball.

[Scene cuts to Angel and Sara at a basketball court. The host walks on the screen.]

Host - Today you'll be playing strip Horse.

Sara - Strip whores?

Host - No (chuckles) Horse. Same rules apply but instead of getting a letter you remove an article of clothing. Angel, you're first.

Angel - Ok Cool.

[Angel goes to the foul line and shoots a shot.]

Angel - Buckets. Go ahead Sara.

[Sara doesn't even look when she shoots and misses horribly. She removes her shirt.]

Angel - You sure you don't wanna start with your shoes or something?

Sara - No, lets keep going.

[Scene cuts to Aeryn and Skyler.]

Aeryn - Andrew! That asshole! He probably told her to start with her shirt!

SJ - I don't think so.

[Cuts back to the game. Angel shoots a close up shot.]

Angel - Seriously try and make one this time im not playing these games.

[Sara again misses on purpose. This time she takes off her pants.]

Angel - Come on Sara, what are you doing?

Sara - Playing. Lets go.

[Angel goes right underneath the basket and shoots it in. Sara goes and throughs it up in the air. It surprisingly goes in. She takes off her bra.]

Angel - Sara, it went in!

Sara - I didn't see it go in.

[Sara goes to kiss Angel but he ducks out of the way.]

Angel - Whoa! I'm married!

Sara - I don't care.

[Scene cuts to Aeryn and Skyler.]

Aeryn - That little tramp!

SJ - I know.

Aeryn - I'm gonna beat her ass for trying to kiss my husband!

SJ - Easy, it will get worse.

[The host walks in.]

Host - These two are now heading out for dinner. You can listen in on them for ony a few minutes.

Aeryn - Okay, lets hear that bitch.

[scene cuts to Angel and Sara at dinner. You can see but Aeryn and Skyler can't.]

Sara - So whats you been up to?

Angel - I made my return to the wrestling ring again facing off against Crimson Skull.

Sara - Crimson Skull?

[Angel looks a bit confused for a sec but continues.]

Angel - So now I get to face Steel Angel in my Return match to Battle Grounds.

Sara - Yeah, Steel.

Angel - You haven't changed at all, have you?

Sara - What do you mean?

Angel - Do you wanna just get fucked or something?

[Angel winks at the cameraman.]

Sara - Haha, maybe.

Angel - Yup still the same as always.

Sara - I'm not a slut or anything. I just miss you.

Angel - You have Skyler.

Sara - He's just my now. You and me had something. We were married.

Angel - Yeah, and you left me for dead. I'm married to Aeryn now.

[back to Aeryn ]

Aeryn - You bet your fucking ass you are.

[Back to dinner]

Sara - Baby I know I made a mistake and I've changed. I want to come back to you.

Angel - This is like the first time we've talked in a clean year and a half.

Sara - I know.

Angel - Whatever, I'm going to bed.

Sara - Ooooooh.

[Back to Aeryn and Skyler.]

Aeryn - Going to bed? What the fuck does he mean by that? That asshole!

SJ - Better watch out.

Aeryn - We can see them on this TV thing.

SJ - Why is the red light going back and forth onto the bed with the green light?

Aeryn - I don't know why.

SJ - They are doing some kinky shit over there!

[Scene cuts to Death Angel trying to sleep while Sara Wolf keeps trying to sneak into bed with him. Death Angel continues to push her out of bed with him but she keeps trying. Back to Aeryn and Skyler.]

SJ - Maybe we should sleep together? Since they are.

Aeryn - You're not touching me you sick freak.

SJ - Come onnnnnn.

Aeryn - Don't touch me you dirty prick.

[Aeryn goes to bed, alone. The scene fades out and back in to the next day. The host is talking to Angel and Sara.]

Host - You two have a choice. Either stay with the person you're with, or go back to your Ex. Choose wisely.

[Montage of them thinking. Finally Death Angel walks up to Aeryn.]

Aeryn- Don't even look at me you sick son of a bitch. You know I was watching you fool around with Sara?

Angel - Fool around? That bitch was crazy! Kept trying to fuck me and all. Baby, I did nothing. I love you.

Aeryn - Really?

Angel - It's why I picked Sara.

Aeryn - YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!

[Aeryn starts hitting Angel as he's laughing.]

Angel - Im kidding Im kidding. Of course I picked you baby.

[Aeryn stops and smiles.]

Aeryn - You better have, or I'll cut your balls off.

[Angel starts to laugh but realizes she's serious. Scene cuts to Skyler and Sara.]

Sara - So like I totally think I love Andrew and stuff. So I'm gonna pick him.

SJ - Figured. Call me later.

Sara - Alright no problem.

[Skyler walks off. Angel and Sara now meet.]

Sara - Andrew, this past couple days made me realize how much I miss you. I really want to get back together, I pick you.

Angel - How many times do I have to tell you. I'm married to Aeryn.

Sara - But you're picking me?

Angel - No Fucking way am I ever picking you again.

[Aeryn walks over to Angel and he puts his arm around her and kisses her on the cheek.]

Aeryn - Move bitch.

[Sara smiles and walks off. Scene cuts out to Angel and Aeryn smiling as Death Angel holds Aeryn from behind.]

The scene opens up somewhere in Washington D.C.'s Georgetown district as a taxi cab with Carmen St. Johnson and a cameraman as lone passengers pulls up along the sidewalk in front of the abandoned rundown gym. In front of her taxi is another taxi as a familiar passenger is seen paying his fare.

Cameraman - Hey Carmen. Isn't that...?

Carmen - Michael? Are you shitting me? Pull this cab over NOW!

She looks over to Tom, 'Pay the fare while I deal with the asshole!'

Carmen steps out of the cab angrily and walks over to Michael.

Carmen - Just what the hell are you doing here?!

Michael - Well, well, well, what a coincidence. Ms. St. Johnson.

Carmen - Coincidence my ass, Michael! Just answer the question. What are you doing here?

Michael - I'm here to get the biggest scoop in the Wrestling world to interview The Legend Death Angel. Why?

Carmen - Like hell you are! How did you know where to find him?

Michael - I have my sources.

Carmen - Hm! Well I've got my sources you won't get that opportunity.

Michael - Really? How so?

Suddenly...

WHAMMO!!!

Carmen St. Johnson with a hard swift kick to the nuts of Michael sending him crumpling to the concrete sidewalk like a sack of potatoes as he groans and clutches his groin in pain.

Carmen - Now. Let's get that interview.

Carmen turns and faces the building and reads the sign above the door; "Hell's Rejects Golden Gym."

Tom - Are you sure this is the place?

Carmen - Yeah. Not what I was expecting. Come on, let's get this over with before Michael recovers.

As our brave reporter & cameraman makes their way inside, they are not prepared to witness the condition of the abandoned gym. As they emerged from the main lobby and into the main expanse of the old gym, a solitary rat skitters across Carmen's feet; thus causing her to shriek and jump. The air inside smells of sweat and musky.

Tom - Whew! This place reeks! What the hell just happened here?

Carmen - Tell me about it. Shh! There he is. In the ring. Got your camera ready?

Tom - Always.

Carmen - Good. Let's go.

Tom - Fuck no way! You go!

Carmen - What?! I ain't going in there by myself!

Tom - He's giving you the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to boost your career. Not me. I'll hang back and zoom in from here. No telling what'll happen here.

Carmen [nervously] - Y ..you're leaving in there? Alone?

Tom - Would you rather have me fetch Michael to do this for you? Go! I've got you covered.

Carmen - You little chickenshit!

The camera pans towards the ring as a single beam of light is shining down in the middle of a blood stained ring. A lone figure sits in a chair, a sweat & blood-stained towel draped over his head. His body in sweat and blood. His taped hands tattered and bloodied from some sort of barbaric workout regiment only best known by himself. Another figure stands alone in the corner in the shadows - Seren.

Our roving reporter, Carmen St. Johnson had received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity courtesy of Seren and Death Angel of whereabouts the newest member would be available. Carmen wanted nothing more than to score an all-exclusive scoop and a much needed career boost with the monster loose cannon of a man they call... Death Angel.

Carmen - What the hell just happened here? The place looked as if somebody been murdered here.

The figure sits motionlessly.

Seren - Ready for your 15 minutes of fame?

Carmen - Death Angel ?

Angel [growls] - WHAT!?

Carmen [nervously] - We agreed to do this interview for the Wrestling world?

Angel : that i did but it was to be with some one else.

Carmen [nervously] - That's correct.

Death Angel chuckles silently to himself.

Carmen - I've been searching for you high, low, and upside down looking for place. You sure are a hard one to find.

Angel - That's because folks a round these parts are afraid to talk about the monster that resides here.

Carmen - What just happened here? There's blood all over the place.

Angel - No murders have been committed here. Sacrifices mainly.

Carmen - Sacrifices? Are you with some kinda Satanic Cult or something?

Angel - My Dear Ms St. Johnson, you have entered my domain. My personal hell.

Carmen - Quaint little place. Why do you stay here? Never mind! Anyways, I'd like to welcome you back to the wrestling world.

Death Angel slowly lifts his head to face the camera as sweat drips down his face.

Angel - Why not. You see Ms St. Johnson, this is a place where men become warriors. This place separates not men from boys, but men from immortals. This is my personal hell where pain becomes non-existence especially when you start training using the most barbaric methods beyond one ordinary man's abilities to endure.

Carmen - You have quite a resume. You have held numerous titles in your career, including a 6-time OWS Undisputed Heavyweight Champion and a Hall of Famer in NLWF. Not to mention you 're a CEO of Demon's Incorporated. Why come back to the ring?

Angel - To take care of a little unfinished business.

Carmen - IWF World Title?.

Angel - You Pass Go and collect $200.

Seren chuckles quietly.

Angel - You're looking at your worse nightmare. I will be IWF's very own resident hellraiser. I will turn IWF upside down and inside out. Stopping at nothing to get what I want ... and more. It won't be long before IWF becomes a bigger bloodbath in the hands of the monster they call ... DEATH ANGEL !

Carmen [shocked] - WHAT?!?

Angel - That's right, girls. I'm here to dominate IWF. Who knows. I just might rattle a few cages and a couple hornets' nests to get my way. Defy me... try me and see what happens. I can personally guarant-dam-tee it won't be pretty.

Carmen [confused & shocked] - Th ..that's impossible! No one has ever tried to dominate the whole federation!

Angel - No? Well, let me make it worth your while to prove to you that I mean business.

Seren tosses Death Angel a string of barbed wire and wraps it around his hands and bashes his forehead. Blood starts to flow immediately covering his entire face into a crimson red. He gets up and suddenly grabs Carmen by the neck and pulls her face close as Carmen struggles to look away at the horror of Death Angel ...

Death Angel [growls] - Look at me ! I SAID, LOOK AT ME!!

Death Angel tightens the grip of the neck of Carmen St. Johnson and lifts her off the floor. His barbed wire fist at the ready threatening to hit the reporter if she doesn't do as she's told.

Carmen St. Johnson slowly begins to look at Death Angel.

Angel [growls] - Does this face look like I'm to be taken lightly?

Carmen [chokingly and fearfully] - I... can't... breathe...

Angel - Answer the question, BITCH!

Carmen [chokingly and fearfully] - N ..n ..no ....

Death Angel releases the grip sending Carmen down to the mat. The Demonoid Phenomenon looks back towards the camera ...

Angel [with a sadistic grin] - YOU!! Cameraman, zoom in closer jackass if you know what's good for you!

The cameraman fearfully zooms in on Death Angel.

Angel [growls] - Make no mistake about it IWF! Be prepared to come along for the ride on the Highway to Hell! Your nightmare is coming...

Death Angel notices there is a wet streak running down Carmen's tight pants. Carmen St. Johnson had lost control of her bladder and peed her pants from fright.

Angel - Ms. St. Johnson, get the fuck out of my gym before you shit your pants! Never mind! I've got a better idea.

[A scream from the reporter followed by an evil sadistic laugh by Death Angel is heard as the scene fades to black]

An unsettling feeling is in the air. Death Angel is alone inside his rundown gym somewhere in the Nation's Capitol. He is sitting on a bench after having to deal with Carmen St. Johnson earlier that afternoon. A lot is going on in his mind, especially after becoming the biggest surprise return to the ring.

As sweat & blood stained towel draped over his head. His face drenched in sweat. his body ached. his taped fists, tattered and bloodied.

Disturbing flashbacks of his past begins to take hold as he struggles to try and forget.

*FLASHBACK 1*

Death Angel as young boy named Andrew, 9 years of age. His father, an abusive alcoholic with a mean streak, comes home in a drunken state, upset all because his dinner was not hot at the kitchen table. He had decided to stop on the way home from home for a few beers after work.

Father [in drunken rage] : DANA ! Where's my fucking dinner ?!

Dana, his wife of 15 years, a pretty petite brunette who once worked for a successful lawyer's office until 2 years ago, he had killed himself after being dragged into a high-profile scandal of running an illegal gambling ring. Since then, she has not been able to find work. With her husband making enough to get by, things were going to be okay - or so she thought.

It's not long before another scandal broke out. His world began to crash. A fall from grace from a high-paying supervisor of a large construction company, now downgraded to lower management. All because he chose to ignore OSHA's demands to protect it's workers. Until one day, it came too late. A fellow worker fell to his death off the bridge. A faulty harness was caused his demise.

Dana [angrily] : It's on the fucking table, Billy ! What are you!? Fucking blind ?!

Father [angrily] : This?! It fucking cold! I want a hot dinner!

Dana [angrily] : If you came home like you were supposed to, you would have got a hot meal!

Billy [angrily] : You bitch!

A hard slap is heard as Dana falls to the floor crying, clutching her cheek from the blow. Andrew had just come into the kitchen after hearing the argument decided to protect his mother. It was too late. His father starts kicking her in the torso and head.

Andrew : STOP IT! STOP KICKING MOM!

His father is not one to take kindly to his own children telling him what to do. His father becomes even more enraged grabs the child and drags him into the living room. His father strips off his belt and starts whipping his son unmercilessly.

Andrew [cries in pain] : Stop! You're hurting me! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!

No sooner, Dana stumbles in and grabs her husband's arm and begs him to stop. He turns around, slaps her in the face and shoves her across the room.

Dana lands next to a telephone nightstand and reached in the drawer and pulls out a gun and takes aim at her husband's back.

A single gunshot rang out in the room. Billy stood stunned as he dropped the belt, turned around and looks at Dana. His hand reached to his chest as his hand searches for where the bullet had pierced him. His finger finds where the bullet had exited his body from behind as if searching for answers.

Andrew's cries is reduced to a whimper as Andrew turns to see his father drop to his knee. A pool of blood forms at Billy's feet as Andrew runs towards his mother burying his head to her chest.

Billy [pained & shocked] : Wh ... what did you just do to me ? Wh ..Why?

Dana [teary anger]: Go to hell! Go straight to fucking hell!

Dana's arm tremors from the recoil of the deadly weapon. A single tear forms from her eyes as she watched her husband slump to the floor. Dead.

Dana dropped to the seat of her pants as a next door neighbors rushed through the front door and scans the carnage. The neighbor cautiously approached Dana, still clutching the deadly murder weapon reassuring her it's over. For good.

Neighbor : Easy, Dana. Put the gun down. It's all over now. He ain't gonna bother you anymore. Frieda! Call the police and an ambulance.

[fade out]

Death Angel wakes and finds himself laying in the middle of the ring of the abandoned gym. He sits up and rubs his eyes as the pain in his brain continues to pound the living hell out of him.

Angel [angry] : GODDAMMIT!! THIS PAIN ... TOO UNBEARABLE!! THIS ... PAIN ... Uhhhhhh ....

Death Angel collapse and lets whatever horror of his past take over his mental state. One flashback ends, another begins.

*Flashback #2*

The Trial of Dana Savage vs New York State has become the biggest news sensation that has gripped this sleepy town nestled at the Gateway to the Adirondack Mountains.
It has been 9 months since the death of his abusive alcoholic father who was murdered by his own mother, Dana. Now Dana is facing a possible prison term of 25 years to life.

Sitting behind the barrier that separates Dana and the public are Dana's parents and her son, Andrew. it looked as if they were the only family she has that has come out to support her. Cousin, aunts, uncles ... all frown upon her since that fateful night. But why?

The prosecution says it was deliberate; the defense team says it was in self-defense. Both parties have exhausted all eyewitnesses for the trial. All except for ... Dana's son, Andrew.

Judge : Are there any more witnesses you would like to call?

Andrew looks over to the prosecution side and notices a cousin of his mother leaning over to the team of lawyers on the prosecution side whispering to each other. A lawyer looks over toward Andrew and nods in agreement and rises to his feet.

Prosecution : Your honor, the Prosecution would like to call Andrew Savage to the stand.

A sound of shock is heard from his grandmother as she grips Andrew to prevent him from enduring harsh questioning by the prosecution.

Grandmother [whispers sharply at the defense team] What! This is an outrage ! They will twist his mind and confuse the boy in admitting his mother guilt!

Dana is shocked at the announcement and confers with the second lawyer in defense.

Defense : I object, your honor!

Judge : May I ask why?

Defense : Your honor, he has gone through enough trauma during this trial. There's no way ...

Judge : Overruled.

Andrew had looked over and saw a smirk come over his mother's cousin face as she settles back into her seat.

Judge : Would Andrew Savage please come to the stand.

His grandmother kept a firm hold on her beloved grandson as the lawyer tries to convince her to let him go to the stand.

Andrew : It's alright, mama. I'll be fine.

Andrew rises from his seat and enters the booth next to the Judge's bench.

Court Matron : Place you right hand on the bible. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me God?

Andrew : I do.

Prosecution : Please state your name. son.

Andrew [nervously] : Andrew Savage.

Prosecution : Andrew. Can you descibe what was your family life was like?

Andrew : What's there to tell?

Prosecution : We want to hear your side of the story. What kind of relationship did you have with your mom & dad? Were you a troublemaker? Did you disappoint your parents?

Andrew : I was not a troublemaker! And no I didn't disappoint my parents!

Prosecution : Okay. Let me ask you this. Why did you get involved with the argument with your father?

Andrew : He was beating up on my mom. What am I supposed to do ? Sit by and let him get away with it?

Prosecution : You could have called the police.

Andrew : I could have but I couldn't sit by and watch my mom get killed by him. That's why I told him to stop. When he didn't like the response from me he dragged me into the living room and beat me with the belt.

Prosecution : So it was you that caused your mother to murder your father.

Andrew : I didn't cause anything ! My mom tried to protect me from him. She came up to him and tried to push him off of me. My dad retaliated and pushed my mom across the room.

Prosecution : Did you see your mom pull out the gun?

Andrew : No. I only heard the shot.

Prosecution : Were you aware there was a gun in the drawer of the telephone stand?

Defense : Objection!

Judge : Overruled! Answer the question, son.

Andrew : Yes. He kept it there for a reason.

Prosecution [surprised] : Oh?

Andrew : Yeah there's more to the story than you will ever know. About my father that is.

Prosecution : Really? Would you please enlighten us?

Andrew : I'm sorry, mom. This needs to get out. There is something else you don't know about.

Dana [confused] : What are you talking about?

Dana's lawyer leans over and tells her to be silent and listen to what he has to say. It was quite obvious the he knew of an explosive that could turn the tide in Dana's favor.

A few days prior to the trial, the lawyer was approached by Andrew regarding the gun and much more.

Judge : Go on ...

Andrew : That gun is not my daddy's. It belonged to someone else. There's a reason dad had that gun in the telephone stand. He was waiting for the right time to put it to good use it.

Prosecution : Oh come now! How can you possibly be telling the truth?

Andrew : I am telling the truth! You want the truth? It's gonna hurt you more than it's going to hurt everybody else - especially you, mom. You need to know this.

Andrew : Dad was having an affair for some time now. The gun isn't his. It was his lover's.

Prosecution : And how do you know about this supposed affair?

Andrew : One night, I got up to get a drink of water down in the kitchen. As I was coming down the stairs, I heard voices in the living room; my dad and another woman. I saw the woman give my father the gun and tell him to get rid of her so they can be together. She also told him to make it look like an accident.


A shocked hush comes through the courtroom.

Prosecution : Oh come on! How do you expect me to believe that?

Andrew : It's the true, sir! In fact she's here in this courtroom. And has been for the duration of this trial!

Prosecution : She is? Where?

Andrew : She was sitting right behind you. I saw you leaning back to her when she whispered something in your ear.

Dana & his grandmother look over to see who it is. Needless to say they do not see her. Until ...

Woman : You little shit!! How dare you spy on me!

Dana [shocked and angry] : Arlene ? W .. why ? How could you?

Grandmother [shocked and dismayed] : Arlene? Oh my ...

Shouts and murmurs has begun to get out of control.

Judge [banging on his hammer] Order in the Court! ORDER!!!
[continued banging] I said ORDER!!!

The courtroom quiets down as the judge resumes the trial.

Judge : Now then, Andrew, Would you mind telling me who this woman is?

Andrew : Her name is Arlene Delaney. She's my mom's cousin.

Arlene : You little bastard! I'll get you for this!

Suddenly she pulls a gun out of her purse and takes aim at Andrew at the stand. A look of fear comes over his face.

Arlene : Dana, darling. Since I no longer could have Billy, I guess you can no longer have your precious son!

Dana [screams fearfully] : NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

A gunshot rang out as spectators and police officers rush towards the assailant in attempt to restrain her.
