"Filling The Guf With Your Souls..." [Act VII, Scene I]

Scene I of I – “Filling The Guf With Your Souls…”

We open to a bright, vibrant green filling the camera’s view. Slowly, the camera begins to pull back, revealing what appears to be veins that are a deeper, darker green coursing through what we now see to be a leaf that is almost unrecognizable with it’s beauty, looking like something not of this planet. As the camera continues to pull back, it stops just in time to reveal this magnificent tree, which soars quite high, with its illustrious green leaves giving off an unimaginable magnificence. The camera manages to also notice that near the leaves; in fact, all over this tree are bright, luxurious buds that look to be made of solid gold. The camera holds for a moment when suddenly, one of the solid gold buds begins to blossom, revealing a majestic pink and blue flower, which like the tree, is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Once the flower fully blooms, it releases a bright white ball of energy in the air, which as it moves, leaves a sparkling, dusty trail behind it.

The camera follows this bright white ball of energy as it sways carelessly down from the tree and enters a lavish dovecote which looks to be ancient as it is made of stone that looks to have been weathered down over time, with various markings and symbols engraved all over the outside and various tiny dark entrances throughout it, which the bright white ball of energy enters, as it disappears into the dovecote and out of our sight. This awe inspiring sight we are witnessing is interrupted by the rumble of thunder and dark clouds settling in, blocking out the perfectly clear blue sky that once laid behind this beautiful tree and dovecote the camera currently has it’s sights on.

Almost out of thin air, from behind this glorious tree emerges Union Battleground superstar Nemesis who walks under the tree's leaves as a few more gold buds bloom and go through the process we had just witnessed. Nemesis obviously has not a single concern for being under a tree when a possible thunderstorm seems to be rolling in. He is wearing a long, black leather jacket that runs down to his knees, black ripped jeans, black generic work boots and as usual his body from the chest up to the top of his head bares the markings of the darkness and evil that lurks within his soul.

Now turning his back to the camera, Nemesis stands close to this majestic tree and the ancient dovecote that rests right beside it, perfectly aligned in the middle of both as the camera moves up, yet remains a few feet behind Nemesis but at shoulder height as he reaches out and begins touching a leaf next to a gold bud that has yet to blossom.

“You know…I can’t help but laugh at the naivety of mankind, to be proclaimed as a ‘demon’ by those who stand against me is mystifying…look around you right now, would a ‘demon’ have access to this type of beauty?”, Nemesis stops stroking and takes in the sight that lay before us as if wanting us to do so as well before continuing on

“My words seem to have continuously fallen upon deaf ears…or maybe it is because half of the Union Battleground roster is more concerned with who they are currently ‘dating’ or what latest topic they can take to social media about…yet I am supposed to take these feeble minded individuals seriously as competitors? How humorous…”, A light, sadistic chuckle bellows out of Nemesis as he begins to now rub the solid gold bud that rests beside the beautiful green leaf he was previously stroking

“I come from a time far beyond human records…in fact, I was here when the seed to this unearthly tree was planted…when the first slab of stone was laid on the ancient columbaria that rests beside it…I stood and watched as the first bud blossomed…releasing the very energy that creates each and everyone of you…”, Nemesis continues to handle the sold gold bud when unexpectedly it blossoms in his hand with the pink and blue flower releasing the bright white ball of energy which floats up and passes his shoulder

With the bright white ball of energy now passing the camera, Nemesis turns and follows the trail it leaves behind which leads him only a few steps to this ancient dovecote as the camera and Nemesis, along with the viewers, witness the ball of energy disappear into the darkness of one of the tiny entrances on the dovecote, exactly like every other one we’ve seen released by the beautiful flowers. Nemesis now stands in front of the dovecote, rubbing the exterior; giving us the impression that although he may have been here for this beautiful area’s inception, it seems as though it has been a while since he last stood before it.

“The series of events your eyes have seen are in fact a first for man…for what you are witnessing is the Tree of Souls creating life in it’s purest, earliest form…then delivering it to this structure of stone spoken of in ancient texts and thus, known and understood by few, since like I alluded to earlier, the majority of you only trouble yourself with which woman or man you intend to sleep with or marry next…needless to say, the lot of you aren’t exactly a ‘knowledgeable’ bunch”, Nemesis once again lets off a laugh, though this time at the expense of the Union Battleground roster

“But while most of your lives are consumed with trivial, insignificant events and occurrences that have no impact on the world outside the small, pathetic life you live, I myself have been anticipating this moment since I stepped foot in this company, I knew that the opportunity to claim the Union Battleground championship had passed me by in regards to the Championship tournament to crown the inaugural champion, I also understood that no matter the destruction I left in my path, Axel Graves and the entire roster of Union Battleground could not avoid the inevitable; that the chance to become number one contender would present itself to me, sooner or later” Nemesis now turns to face the camera, staring deep into the viewers soul

“But now I find myself in quite the conundrum; what happens when Dick Devereaux takes his rightful place by my side and I, in fact, do claim victory at Guerilla Warfare?...It’s quite simple really, my victory will ensure that there is no threat to the Title that Salvation is destined to possess as a symbol of our dominance”, Nemesis turns back around to face the ancient dovecote as yet another bright white ball of energy has exited a blossomed flower and is entering a tiny dark entrance of the structure

“There is also another requirement Guerilla Warfare will allow me to fulfill as I look to impede the arrival of His Son…my work is yet to be completed and what better way to fill the Guf back up then with the souls that Union Battleground is about to present to me?...Now, while most of you will say the predictable cliché words like ‘There’s a lot of stiff competition’…’Why not me?’…’Anything can happen'…please, before you speak, spare us from the lies you tell and the fear you are trying to bury deep down…look at my track record mortals…I have consistently defined perfection which my battle record clearly indicates, so why should people watching across the world, let alone me, be given any reason to believe that an outcome contradictory to my hand being raised as the victor is even feasible? I’ll tell you why…because it’s not”, After giving off the impression that he’s satisfied with what he has seen Nemesis begins walking back towards the area on the other side of the Tree of Souls that he first appeared by

“At Guerrilla Warfare...the mass cleansing of Union Battleground will commence and the Guf will be filled with the souls of those who oppose me…so, sleep tight and kiss your loved ones goodbye…”, Nemesis stops dead in his tracks while turning his head back towards the camera while the front of his body remains facing away from the camera

“Because I am Nemesis…’The Alpha & Omega’…’The Harbinger of Revelations’…and I am the downfall of you all who deny Salvation...”, Nemesis arrogantly sneers then proceeds to turn his head and continues on under the tree

The camera begins to pull back while panning up as the grey skies from earlier oddly crack loudly as thunder rumbles through them but instead of a shot of lightning following, the sky clears up returning to the beautiful blue, cloudless scene it was when we first tuned it. Ironically, Nemesis is nowhere to be seen as if he disappeared into thin air as we fade out to a Guerilla Warfare commercial on the Battleground Network.
