It is Tuesday Morning. Children all over the nation are watching the end of the day's episode of Elmo's World. The characters are signing and laughing together as Elmo appears on the screen, smiling and waving to all the children.
"Well that was fun! Elmo's tired! Are you tired? It's time for Elmo to take a nap - and you should tell your mommies and daddies that it's naptime too! But thank you for coming to play with me! Today's episode of Elmo's World was brought to you by the Number Six! Elmo LOVES the Number Six!"
The screen glitches. Elmo stares blankly at the screen.
"Six is like a family. The best size for a family. And family doesn't EVER hurt one another."
The screen glitches again. Elmo is once again dancing happily.
"And today's episode was also brought to you by the letter D! What's YOUR favorite word that starts with the letter D? Elmo likes Dog! Or Doodle - which rhymes with Mister Noodle - or D-"
The screen glitches again. Elmo is briefly upside down. The screen blurs and is hit by a wave of static.
Hidden Citizens' cover of Paint it Black begins to play.
When the image returns, Elmo is standing in front of a black background. His eyes are missing. When he speaks, his voice is twisted and distorted.
"Damien."
Elmo begins to burn.
"Devotion."
Elmo is consumed by flames, within its puppet remains an arm wreathed in spiraling black tattoos.
"Dean."
A pair of golden eyes appears in a haze over the screen as the ruined, burning ashes of Elmo fall around the fist-clenched hand.
"You made an error, Dean. I know you are watching. With your father. And your son."
Images of The Pack fighting together. Of Rowan and Dean standing together. Of Dean and Maxine standing together.
"You have made two mistakes. You know the first."
Flashes of Dean betraying Caleb and Brooklyn and walking out of the ring with Mandi.
"Know the second."
Images flashing of the words "Mandi Matthews and Dean Harper vs. Thaddeus Isembard Bancroft and Rowan MacDonnough."
"You know this."
IWF officials declaring after the show that the match would be an Openweight Championship match whenever Rowan and Mandi were in the ring.
"You should have feared THIS."
Flashes of burning figures hanging by the neck from a tree.
"So soon after your Denial."
Images of a city collapsing into a pit, dragging its citizens to their fates.
"So soon after your Display."
Images of Rowan choking Fiona McFly to death in the ring.
"You are in a match against me... a match where I will be Defending my Championship."
Images of chains dragging countless screaming figures into a burning lake.
"Did she not warn you? By IWF Dictation... this match becomes my Domain."
Images of fire. Barbed wire. Iron bars.
"My world. My rules. Your Damnation."
Flashes of Pandora's face being shoved into the flames.
"Your Destruction."
Flashes of bones snapping. Flesh ripping.
"Your Dissection."
Images of people being dragging screaming into their graves.
"Your Death."
Rowan's face appears in full on the screen.
"You brought this on yourself, Dean Harper. Will she forgive you?"
The screen fades to black.
"You and Mandi Matthews... face the Abyss."
The music vanishes. The screen glitches. The video returns to normal.
"Thaaaaaat's Elmoooo's WOOOOOOOOOOORLD!"
