Outside of Glenn's Locker Room
Mark barely even let Glenn get through the door before he pulls him into a hug. The two of them have been friends for years. Glenn looks Mark over intently. Mark has been out of work for the last few months with a back injury.
"Oh don't give me that look Red. I'm fine…..really I am. The trainers think I can come back in a few weeks. I plan on hooking back up with you guys in Sacramento next week. "Mark says his deep voice booming threw the small space as he starts down the hall away from Glenn's locker room.
"I don't know man. I guess you know your body best, if you think you're ready to come back then I guess you must be. Plus I bet your driving yourself insane at home all alone" Glenn chuckles to himself. Mark hadn't been the same since his last divorce. It seemed like anytime they had time off Mark was coming home with him just to not have to be alone. That was going to change now due to the fact that Glenn's ex-wife got the house in the divorce.
"Enough about my back" Mark says frowning. "What I want to know is have you seen him yet?" Marks stops and looks at Glenn intently there's almost a spark in his eyes.
"Seen who?" Glenn asks confused.
"The Reaper, Glenn, with how secret McMahon is being about this new guy I was just wondering if you had seen him yet. I know that he does suppose to debut tonight. What do you think I'm doing here? Did you think I came all the way to Portland just to see your sorry ass?" Mark snickers to himself. Glenn has to stop himself from laughing out loud Mark always did have a way to make him feel unimportant.
"Well I guess it's just too much to hope for. That the Great and Powerful Undertaker would come out to see me his best friend." Glenn pauses to give Mark a hurt look. Mark just shakes his head and starts to walk down the hall again. "Well I should ask if you want to be surprised like the rest of the world or not" This grabs Marks attention as he stops after a few feet and turns around and to fix Glenn with a firm look.
"What do you mean?" Mark asks his eye brows sinking with the question.
"Well do you want to meet The Reaper and ruin the surprise or would you rather just wait until later in the evening. I mean the shows going to start in an hour and The Reaper makes their debut about an hour in. So I want to you know do you want to meet The Reaper now and spoil the surprise or wait and be as amazed as everyone else?" Glenn smirks over at Mark and Mark has to keep from rolling his eyes.
"So then I guess you have met him already?" Mark asks a slight amount of humor in his voice.
"You could say that. I mean for the time being The Reaper is in my locker room." Marks head snaps in the direction they have just come from.
"I just want to meet the man that's cutting in on my turf. You know that the whole Prince of Darkness is my thing. Or well was my thing. I'm not even here tonight to protect my yard" Mark frowns at Glenn frustrated for the fact that Vince thinks it's a good idea to bring in a new Superstar person so similar to his original. Mark begins to head back towards the locker room.
"Mark I don't think The Reaper choose to be The Reaper" Glenn says softly this makes Mark stop for a moment and stare hard at his best friend.
"What's up with all this The Reaper this and The Reaper that bull you're pulling out In fact now that I think about it you haven't specified The Reapers gender at all. Why dose Vince have you so closed mouth about The Reapers gender." Mark inquires seriously.
"Open the door and you'll find out" Glenn says motioning to the door they are standing in front of. Placing his hand on the handle and taking a deep breath Mark has a look of concern on his face. Normally Glenn is much more helpful in situations like these.
A Few Hours Later In the Arena
The arena is plunged into blackness and the crowd goes quiet. They all know what's coming and it has them waiting on the edge of their seats. The Sound of hideous laughter fills the arena and Blue by the Birthday Massacre the instrumental version blares out of the speakers. The titan tron flashes to life with pictures of desolate places. About 17 seconds into the song pyrotechnics go off lighting up the arena with a blue haze.
The lights flash in time to the music as The Reaper steps out on top of the ramp. She makes her way slowly down to the ring where Randy Orton is pacing around like a caged animal. She slowly steps up to the ring the lights returning to normal as her music is still ringing out across the arena. She walks over to the steps and slowly climbs them then enters into the ring facing Randy Orton. Randy Orton motions for a microphone and one is given to him. The crowd and commentators are stunned into silence.
"So this is The Reaper" Randy says gruffly into the mic as he slowly starts to circle around Vaness. "Is this some sort of a Joke? This woman…this woman is The Reaper?" Randy continues with an almost dumbfounded sound to his voice. Vaness just slowly nods her head and begins to remove her jacket. She tosses the now useless article of clothing out of the ring and once again faces Randy who then continues to circle her. "No…no you must be some sort of a gift for me maybe a nice new piece of ass" Randy finally decides quickly moving towards Vaness and slapping her on the backside. He laughs out smiling at her.
If Vaness's full face could be seen there would be a look of fury upon it. She takes no time to deliver a visually devastating round house kick to the side of Randy's head that drops him to the mat. He drops the mic in the process and Vaness bends down to pick it up picks it up.
She gets right down close to his face giving him a look of hatred. "Orton" Vaness does her best to make her voice sound demonic and domineering. "You have been measured and your soul has been found to be damned. You are as black as the depths of hell and it's time to send your soul back home. Judgment has been passed and I am here to collect payment for your sins." With that Vaness tosses the mic aside and the match begins.
Everything is going just like it did with the trainers even thought Vaness can feel Orton's rage boiling just under the surface. He is really not happy about that kick to his face. They don't deviate from what's been planned with the exception of the round house kick. Just as Vaness locks in Death's Grip, a variation of the steal cross, Evolution shows up. She holds the submission for as long as possible not even breaking when the first chair shot rings out across her back. HHH exchanges a worried look with Rick Flair but then brings the chair down again across her back. She lets go of Randy and drops down to one knee.
Seeing that she's still mostly up Randy Orton rips the chair from HHH's hands. He's determined to get her back for that kick earlier. He brings the chair down hard directly on her head and she yells out a little bit. She goes down the rest of the way landing hard on the mat on her back.
"What are you doing Randy" HHH whispers to Orton making it seem like he's checking to make sure the younger man is ok.
"She kicked me" Randy whispers back. The Four men look at each other each knowing that they have to stick to script but all slightly worried that she may be hurt. All of them except for Randy. All four men then begin the beat down that was planned. When they think they have done a good enough HHH bends down close like he's whispers malicious things to The Reaper.
"You ok" He asks the young woman laying face up on the mat. She barely twitches her lips up into a small smile. "I'm going to take that smile as a yes" HHH stands back up and kicks her one last time while yelling something outrageous to the fans. With that the four men turn and walk out of the ring.
Just at the four men reach the bottom on the ramp Vaness sits up and glares in the men's direction. The four see this on the Titan tron an turn around to give her looks of surprise. Vaness stands up slowly a wicked smile spread across her face. The four men look at her astonished. She then extended her arm out in their direction her fingers bidding them to come back and do their worst. At this moment just as planned Kane's pyrotechnics go off. While everyone is distracted Vaness slides out of the ring just as Glenn walks out on the top of the ramp.
The lights in the arena flicker on suddenly and Evolution notices it's between a rock and a hard place. None of them really like a fair fight and especially not one with Kane. They make a quick getaway up the side of the ramp and around the back of the titan tron. Vaness continues up the Ramp to Glenn. To the fans it looks like Kane is about to pummel the Reaper or the other way around. So when Kane kneels down in front of the Reaper and bows his head like he's paying homage. There is a collective gasp that can be heard around the arena.
The Reaper places a hand on Kane's shoulder. This makes Kane snap his head up. Their eyes meet and Glenn can almost see a wicked gleam in Vaness's eye she then tilts her head back and laughs manically then the arena is plunged into darkness.
