OOC: RAD means Anthony's Reflection.
FADE IN
Int. An office with lockers and a small kitchen area with a sink and an in wall mirror - Immediately after Trauma
Anthony stands in front of a sink. He looks down at the running water and at his swollen knuckles in the water. He coughs. He coughs again and a mark of a small cry is heard. Anthony looks up to the mirror and sees himself. His reflection looks back at him with an evil grin.
RAD
Stop it! Look at yourself. You pathetic, weak hearted sack of waste! You did what you needed to do.
ANTHONY
I don't want to fight anymore. This isn't what I am!
RAD
You became this when you realized you had no other choices. Grow up! Look at you! You beat a piece of human garbage tonight and you are standing alone in a locker room crying! Be a man!
ANTHONY
I am a man!
RAD
Then act like one! You know you had to beat Blade's ass! You know Blade walked around on his knees saying "please, Anthony. . .kick my ass!" He asked for it, you did it! It's nothing new! Blade begged for mercy! Blade didn't find it! You know he is completely pathetic!
ANTHONY
I'm tired of fighting!
RAD
You know, if it weren't for me, you'd still be wallowing in your own self pity. GROW UP!!!! You have work to do! You are a fighter because I made you that way! You know why??? Because of people who deserve a beating. You know, people like that Lantlas pieces of crap! You have to expose his stupid ass at the weak piece of garbage he is! Him and his fantasy "look at me, I'm make believe" stupidity need to be beaten!
ANTHONY
No! I won't. I haven't!
RAD
Look at tonight. Blade Lionheart. . .Mr. Angel of Death! He came out here and said his "toughness" meant alot and you were a piece of crap! You took his toughness, broke it into ten thousands pieces and shoved it so far up his reptilian ass that now he's going to fart the sound of him tapping out each time he takes a crap! Look at it. . .Blade said he was everything you were. Tonight, you proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Blade doesn't have it anymore! He talks about how tough he is. Talks about how good he is. You just said tonight that he doesn't amount to a good pile of human sh*t!!!
Anthony looks at his hands. He turns away from the mirror.
ANTHONY
Stop it! I know you're right, but stop telling me this!
RAD
Look at your fight next week! Lantlas! Blade! This G-d's messanger! You going to let them beat you?
Anthony's composure changes. He goes from regret to anger.
ANTHONY
His running is over. He broke up a fight of mine and where was he when I called him out on it?
RAD
No where to be found!
ANTHONY
And now, look at this now! Lantlas is done running! Lantlas is done hiding! Lantlas may be a champion, but right now he can kiss my ass! Lantlas, I beat up your little running buddy. . .your new sycophant, Seth Sinn! I beat your little partner Blade to the point that it took an army of men to get me off of him. Blade couldn't beat up the one person he bitches about and how look at him! Broken, beaten, disposed of like a piece of garbage. Blade, you said you were tough, son! You said you could take me out! Why couldn't you? Because you're a loser, Blade! Why would I have helped you in the HHW? Why should I dirty my hands? Get used to that.
Anthony looks his hands.
ANTHONY
I don't give two craps about this piece of leather with gold painted tin on it, Lantlas. You can have it! The American Nightmare and Jason Willard can have those stupid belts you and everyone love so much! It isn't the belt, Lantlas. Just like before, it isn't the belt! It's you, son! It's time to pay, Lantlas. Elves may be immortal, but you're a stupid little man with a stupid little idea that he's some stupid thing from the Beastmaster! I'm the beast, boy! I'm the Wolverine. . .I'm an animal that attacks with fear, regard or hestitation! You ran from me once, Lantlas. . .you aren't running anymore!
RAD
But he has help!
ANTHONY
Blade? Blade, back in the HHW, you couldn't hack it against someone, who on his best day, isn't worth licking the dog sh*t off my shoes and now I'm supposed to fight you? I will tell you this, son. I won't stop! I am a caged animal and, Blade. . .by accepting this fight. . .you just sealed your death warrant! Again! I beat your ass once, and every time I fight you, I will beat your ass again and again, until I turn your vital organs into liquid sh*t! You can talk about how good you are, but the fact of the matter is Anthony Douglas proved you're all talk. You're not tough, boy! You're not anything. Right now it's Anthony Douglas' time, Blade. You wanted to give me a beating in our fight? I'm giving you something at Hostile Takeover. . .an all expenses paid trip to the closest ICU you, and the PCW can find!
RAD
Look at me!
ANTHONY
Lantlas, you seem to have some friends. I know about being jerked around. I've been getting that for the past ten years and now, that your buddy Seth Sinn is out of action, some guy, a sad piece of garbage called "The Captain" Alejandro Walker, tells you you can find a new partner! He says that since Seth Sinn is out with a broken leg, you can have another person with you! Seth Sinn may have a broken leg, and a cast on it, but he's also got a yellow strip running right down the middle of his back. As far as the Captain is concerned, there's a storm blowing his direction, it's called the Wolverine's Hurricane and I can tell me where he can stick his head to hide! You let the "Elf" pick the "Prophet" he save his ass! The Prophet may have a tie in to G-d. . .that's great! We have an Immortal Elf, the Angel of Giving Up and G-d's messanger on Earth! Three made up pieces of crap. Three people who need die! Since I know the Prophet's going to save your ass, Lantlas, I'm sure you'll have G-d on your side. Seth went to pray before he fought me, and G-d gives your the Prophet! Whatever! Your prayers have been answered! Don't worry, you'll see G-d soon enough, after I erase your fake elven ass!
RAD
Look at me!
ANTHONY
I don't want to look at you!
RAD
Look at me!!!
Anthony spins around and punches the mirror, shattering it. The reflection in the broken mirror smiles.
RAD
I told you that you couldn't live without me!
ANTHONY
Come Hostile Takeover, Blade. . .you'll relive your beating again. Only Anthony Douglas has no sportsmanship. . .Anthony Douglas doesn't know compassion. And Anthony Douglas knows no mercy! You want that. . .ask the Prophet for forgiveness. . .since a prohpet is G-d's messenger on Earth! At Uncut, Lantlas. . .Anthony Douglas will take you out permanently. It's nothing personal. I just hate you, and everyone else! You'll understand that hate all to well.
Anthony looks at his bloodly knuckles. He smiles.
ANTHONY
I love blood, Blade. Especially when I'm draining someone else's. Lantlas will learn that soon enough. His new buddy the Prophet will learn that soon enough! Lantlas, your hiding behind the skirts of those two pieces of garbage of your friends are over! Blade should have been you, Lantlas. . .but you're still on the list, and that's the Wolverine's list, which means your Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons loving ass belongs to the Wolverine Anthony Douglas!
RAD
Good! Never question me again! You can't live without me!
Anthony looks at his hand again. He clenches his fists and bloody drips from the bottom to the floor.
Camera focuses on the blood on the floor.
