It comes down to this…
Kristoff, they are looking for a replacement, someone that can hold the banner proudly and stand tall at the echelon of the Invictus division, they don’t want a man who is self destructing and falling apart, they don’t want this federation to be represented by a worthless lowlife who constantly discussing his own shortcomings.
IWF needs a hero; they need a messiah to bring them into the Promised Land, to show them the milk and honey. They need a man who can captivate the masses and gain a following and that is just what I do Kristoff, which is what I do. I captivate, I grow and like a plague that spreads across the land I leave nothing but sad memories to those that I face.
But, after a plague, that is the time that I cling to, the time where there is brightness, a time where people can see that the worst is over, when people can see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel a time of change is at hand and that is what I offer, that is what I bring, that is what I give.
What is it that you have given? You have given nothing, you have fallen apart while standing atop and like a tree that has been touched by pestilence you must be felled before you damage those around you, before you damage all that you touch. Because I Kristoff, I am a cure to your pestilence, I offer remorse, I offer something bigger and brighter and more glorious than the swill you preach to the masses.
I offer the truth, and that is all I have claimed to bring forth, and Kristoff I will show you the truth, the truth is you have never known yourself. From the marriage torn apart at the hands of a masked psychopath to the times coming to terms with your homosexuality to the current time that you are a neuter, or an asexual you have always based your life around someone supporting you, you have never been able to stand without a label.
See I know you Kristoff, I know what makes you tick and what makes you move, I know that guides you and of that there is no substance, there is no reality or truth, there is nothing substantial, you are as it would be best put, made of paper.
You are flimsy and frail, you are nothing that can’t be easily torn in half with little effort, and that is all I need, that is all. I am going to simply show the world how far you have fallen, and your letter opener, or whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve will grant you no solace, will offer you no respite and they won’t save you.
Because I am truth, I am reality, I am everything that plagues your thoughts every single day, because when it comes down to it Kristoff you wear your heart on your sleeve.
And that heart is empty, devoid of resolve. And it is out for the world to see.
And I am going to drive a stake through it and put you out of your misery.
The truth will set you free Kristoff, and I intend on setting you free.
{Scene opens to the place where Mary and Judas have been staying in the middle of the woods, the place looks no different, a large statue of The Operator has been constructed in the back of the area, but the parcels of lumber still sit untouched. Soon we see why as the camera pans to the back and we see Michael tied to the large wooden statue, nothing more then sticks and branches tied together crudely with twine}
{Michael’s arms are outstretched, a true homage to the Jesus Christ pose, Judas walks up to him, a sinister look in his eyes and Mary walks behind him, wearing a robe, her head looking down at the ground, Judas gets close to Michael, and Michael raises his hand and spits at Judas, the spit catches in Judas’ beard and he smiles, taking a handkerchief from his pocket and wiping it off.}
Judas: Michael, I am sure that you understand there is something more to you, in the bible it is written in Revelation 12:7-9: "Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down -- that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."
{Michael looks up to Judas, pleading with his eyes}
Michael: Why, why are you doing this to me?
Judas: What am I doing Michael? What am I doing to you? Nothing, I am doing nothing to you but trying to set you free, I am trying to show you that there is life beyond pain, there is love beyond hatred, there is greatness after loss. You are going to fight along my side, you are going to be my carpenter, you will build the buildings that will house our masses, our people. These people that will look to you, these people that will care about you and need you, just like your family needed you.
Michael: And if I refuse?
Judas: You won’t, he told me you are tough, but you are to be one of the flag bearers in the battle of good versus evil, the evil falsehoods are spreading and it is us who will show the truth.
Michael: you are insane, an absolute madman.
Judas: I am sorry you feel that way, but if I cannot sway your opinion I have no other choice…
{Judas reaches back and Mary places a machete in his hand. He holds it in the air and brings it down in a quick motion, Michael screams as the rope binding his arm is sliced in half. Judas repeats the motion releasing his other arm}
Judas: Then you are free…
{Michael opens his eyes, stands and turns to run, Michael runs towards the tunnel that is always passed through, Judas smiles and gets on his knees, Mary quickly follows his lead. The camera follows Michael and as he is about to enter the tunnel the screen goes to static and the Operator is scene before the tunnel, he raises his arm and fuzzy sounds overtake your screen, they sound like alien communications, Michael begins to cough and he falls to his knees. The camera goes out of focus and when it refocuses The Operator is closer to Michael, this happens again and the Operator places his hand on the head of Michael as the scene fades to black}
Frank, are you finally sick of hearing it? Sick of hearing that everyone thought that it was going to be your brother Eddie who was going to rise to the top, that he was going to be the successful singles star?
I can tell, it has been a little thorn that was placed in the back of your mind, one that over the years you have tried to ignore, tried to forget, but the fact of the matter is that this thorn has grown, each and every time you have heard those words until it penetrated your every thought, until it starting tearing your mind apart.
And that thought has grown into what is happening now, you, stepping out with all your southern charms, trying to show the world that Frank isn’t going to be the forgotten brother, and I won’t deny that you have been a worthy adversary over the past month, each time I face you I get a fight, and you come out on top most of the time. But is that because of you Frankie? Or is that because of your brother? Who is leading who, who is the greater person, because that is how it works with tag teams isn’t it?
One is greater than the other.
And now if your chance to be the breakout star, your chance to gain another title for your god, for the person that you follow regardless of his words, regardless of how little he cares for you. Well Frank, there are other people to follow, there are other ways to find your true path in life and it isn’t too late to make a change that will greatly affect the rest of your life. It isn’t too late to understand that you aren’t part of a family, that you are part of an egotist’s self serving ideology.
There are other things to be remembered for Frank, there are other people to look up to, and you have that chance. You can always pledge yourself to The Operator, the man who builds a community of like minded people who are sick of the worlds lies, sick of the drivel flowing freely from the leaders, sick of being an errand boy.
And make no mistake about it Frank, that is what you are to Angel, he is sending you off to retrieve another trophy for his display case, he doesn’t want this for you Frank, but you deserve it.
That is the truth, that is the reality of your situation and the sooner that you see that the better you will be, the better you will understand and the happier you will be. You can fight for many reasons, and I know that fighting is all you know.
So why not fight for the truth, instead of someone’s poor version of reality.
You are better Frank, you are better than Angel and better than your brother.
Claim your legacy, not his.
{Scene opens back at the area, Judas wears a tool belt and he and Michael are hammering out the frame of a building. Judas looks over to Michael and smiles as Mary walks up to the two of them with a pitcher of lemonade. Michael bows his head to her, taking a glass and sitting down, wiping perspiration from his face}
Michael: I won’t lie here Judas, I know that my work here is important, but I cannot lie I won’t be able to finish this, I am a builder by trade, a carpenter, I can do basic plumbing, but I won’t be able to dig a well or create some sort of power source.
Judas: He brings us great things, and he will continue to do so. I have been looking through, looking for the next person to bring to our family, the next person to invite to us, and I found her, the two of you will do excellent work together…
{Judas reaches into his pocket and removes a picture of a woman, on the front the name Cordelia is written}
Michael: Her name means of the sea…
Judas: And that is her specialty, bringing water to the masses, she has worked all over the world bringing fresh water to impoverished lands, she will show us the light of her ways and she will bring us to the next level. Michael, I know you are skeptical, I know you are having trouble with all this, but I have witnessed in my visions a future where he has granted us luxury and love that the outside world never offered us. He shows us the way and has given us the pieces to the puzzle, we just need to put them together.
Michael: Judas… Thanks, thanks for helping me find purpose.
{Judas stands and holds his arms outstretched. Michael comes in and embraces him and Judas wraps his arms around his face, kissing him on the cheek}
Judas: He is good, he is great, and he will bring us all together. From now until eternity, we will stand together and build a kingdom in his honor. Legends will be written of what we create and monuments will be built in your honor, because you are my archangel Michael, and you will fight along my side.
Michael: I will…
{Judas pushes his head away and turns towards the building as the scene fades to black}
