During the Commercials on Sacrifice:
{The monks chanting signals the beginning of “Crushed” by Parkway Drive as the lights dim}
“BROTHERS! MY BROTHERS!
IS THIS ALL THAT WE ARE!?
SISTERS! MY SISTERS!
WE’VE BEEN..
CRUSHED BY THE FISTS OF GOD!”
{As the pyro explodes the lights flash on and Spike Kane walks out to a mixed reaction, a few more cheers than usual, dressed in a Rob Diamond “InFamous hoodie and a beanie hat, with jeans and sneakers, and a kendo stick in hand, he marches right for the ring.}
Vasco Dias: Well this is weird Terri, Spike Kane isn’t scheduled to appear here tonight.
Terri Morasco: That’s true Vasco, after coming up short last week against Andrew Jacobsen Spike actually had the night off. We saw something of a shift in Spike when he went to save Andrew from a beatdown from Ryan Shane-
Vasco Dias: Not that it did either of them any favours.
{Spike stands in the ring, swinging the kendo stick around, as he pulls the microphone from his back pocket with his free hand.}
Spike Kane: I know you’re all pretty surprised to see me. I know you’re all probably expecting me to make excuses for why I’m not out here with the Imperial Championship around my waist. Probably expecting me to blame Shane, or make up some bullshit excuse….but I’m not. For once, Andrew was the better man on the night, and he beat me fair and square….now….in no way, shape, or form does that mean my quest to be Imperial Champion is over….but, when I turned my head last week? When I decided NOT to walk away from Ryan Shane laying the boots to our Imperial Champion? Something in my brain clicked….and I realised, that I’m never going to be THAT guy, until I clear some of the red in my ledger…
{There’s a mixed reaction from the crowd. Some of them don’t want Spike to change, some of them don’t care for it, some of them don’t give a shit.}
Spike Kane: Now...I’m not a white hat. I’m never gonna come out here, tell you all to say your prayers, eat your vegetables, and take your vitamins….I’m Spike Kane. I do things my own way, and right now? I know there’s someone backstage who is itching for revenge. Crawling the walls to get their hands on me….so like I always say, like I’ve said to idiots like Gilmore from day one….I’m never hard to find…..but this time? I’m adding a little twist. Nighthawk! You want your pound of flesh?
{Spike places the kendo stick on the matt near the ropes and takes a few steps away, pulling off his hat, and his hoodie revealing his bare chest, before kneeling down and spreading out his one arm.}
Spike Kane: Come and take it….
{Spike drops the mic and lowers his head, both arms extended. The crowd grow quiet as they look towards the ramp, expecting, and waiting for Nighthawk to come out.}
Vasco Dias: What the hell is he doing?
Terri Morasco: In his own mind Vasco? I think at least? The right thing.
Vasco Dias: Pffft, he’s an idiot.
{After what seems to be becoming an uncomfortably long time, nobody comes out and Spike starts to chew his cheek a little, he grabs the microphone, and climbs to his feet.}
Spike Kane: Look….Hawk. I know you have your code of honour and all that, but I’m trying to make amends here. I did you wrong, you wanna kick my ass, so I’m offering it to you right here…..you too much of an asshole to actually take it?
Terri Morasco: I get the feeling he probably doesn’t trust Spike.
Vasco Dias: Why would he? He faked cancer!
Terri Morasco: Actually he faked faking cancer…..that sounds weird.
{Spike begins to pace the ring, clearly getting annoyed now. The crowd are growing restless.}
Spike Kane: Come on you piece of shit! You too much of a coward to come out here and face me! What!? You ashamed I’m ruining your hero moment!? You think I’m gonna upstage you!? I’m a son of a bitch Nighthawk! Come and punish me! Come and put me down! I attacked your students! I put threw you down a flight of stairs! I put my hands on your wife!
{As soon as Spike finishes his sentence “I Remember (Spartan IX Intro” by Tristan hits the speakers and Nighthawk begins to sprint to the ring. Spike Kane, all worked up and full of fury seems to have completely forgotten his whole reason for coming out and charges the ropes. Diving over them and landing into a forearm on Nighthawk who just takes it and the two of them begin to unload forearms on each other like you wouldn’t believe.}
Vasco Dias: Holy crap! This is insane! I’ve never seen Nighthawk fight like this!
Terri Morasco: He’s not a man to throw the first punch so to speak Vasco, but this? This is not a match, this a deeply personal fight!
{The two men begin to grab at each other and throw each other into the guardrail, almost as if they were rolling around on the floor but on their feet. Hawk creates a little distance and clotheslines Spike over the guardrail. Nighthawk starts to climb up and over after him, but Spike grabs his legs and pulls them out from under him sending a punch down after. Hawk lands on the barrier taking a pretty sore bump, but he takes the punch in his stride before sending a really well placed kick right to the jaw of Spike that staggers him backwards. Suddenly, and without notice both men are swarmed with security pulling them apart.}
Terri Morasco: Thank god for that! These two were going to tear each other apart! What started out as a weird peace offering turned into a beat down brawl.
Vasco Dias: Nighthawk may be a man of honour, but Spike Kane corrupts everyone.
Terri Morasco: That, I think, is why nobody trusts him right now.
{As security pull Spike away through the crowd, he smirks at Nighthawk through his bloodied mouth, and Nighthawk is shouting at Spike, about Extreme Endurance.}
