[Apocalypse]

The scene opens Stalker can be seen sitting on his throne in his castle at the center of Pandora. The room is dark, and bleak. It even has a slight musty smell about it wafting on the air. Sitting on one of the other thrones beside him is his daughter Vanity. She seems to be off in a world of her own creation. The focus is back on Stalker he has an evil grin on his face.

Stalker: "Jeremiah, a man who is named for the Bible. A man who I hope knows his namesake. For within the hallowed pages is said “Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.” the time has come for my to bring down an evil, a darkness which will envelop the world. Are you a spiritual man Jeremiah? Do you have a belief in some form of higher power or do you believe that our bodies are just empty shells, and that without our minds they are rotting husks?"

Stalker twirls something in his fingers. It is dark brown, possibly a rust color.

Stalker: "Personally, I am given to the belief that we are something more, something of substance. If you are a man of belief then I implore you to call out, and make your peace with your inner demons. After this match, they may be the only companions to which you may call out. There is a darkness within all of us. I have held mine down for way too long. It has clawed its way into this world, and I shall bask in the destruction, and devastation which it breeds. Jeremiah Hardin . . . it wasn't you who chose to step into the ring with me. Nor was it you who chose to make this match a dark match. That is on management, that is on the owner Allura, she must be afraid to let loose the hounds of war upon her precious roster. So she tosses me you like chum in the water. Sadly, this means that people must pay. The recompense starts with you Jeremiah the moment that bell rings. This is the point in time when your typical bad guy would make you a promise to end it quickly. I digress, I digress for this isn't possible. You must suffer and suffer deeply for my message to be sent."

The look in the eyes of Stalker changes to a very dark, and nearly black glazed pair of eyes.

Stalker: "Allura, I intend to break every single person you put infront of me until you give me someone WORTHY of what I am. Your roster, your crew, their careers are in my hands. NO ONE is safe. I will take everyone to the edge. I will show them the abyss within their own hearts . . . and then . . . I will laugh as the descend into insanity."

The scene fades to black as Stalker just smiles with an evil look on his face.

[[Big]Jeremiah Hardin[Tiger]]

(We see Jeremiah, Harlow and their four year old daughter Jasmine at Sawgrass Sanctuary in Sunrise Florida and they are walking thru the park. Its a sunny day but its cool so they are dressed warmly.)

[Harlow Hardin]

I am glad you decided to wrestle again babe.

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Me too. I mean it was nice to take a break to be a family man for a little bit but the wrestling bug had bitten hard enough to get me back in it and I am glad Adam recommended NCW. I have heard good things about the company.

[Harlow Hardin]

Me too.

(Jeremiah smiles and puts his daughter on his shoulders. Jasmine giggles as he does and Harlow smiles.)

[Harlow Hardin]

So your first match is against Stalker. He sounds kind of creepy to me.

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Thats ok babe. He is going to find out just who he is dealing with. I am no slouch in the ring so he had better nut up and shut up before he gets hurt.

(Jeremiah thinks)

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Come to think of it hes going to get hurt anyway.

(Jasmine bops her father on hhis head gently. Harlow giggles and Jeremiah smiles as he loves the playful side of his daughter.)

[Harlow Hardin]

You love your daddy dont you sweetheart?

(Jasmine nods and smiles.)

[Harlow Hardin]

What is it that you love most about Daddy.

[Jasmine Hardin]

The way he loves Mommy.

(Jeremiah smiles.)

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Thats my favorite part of me too.

(Harlow giggles and smiles and kisses her husband as they continue to walk.)

_____

(We now see them at the Arena. Jasmine is being held by Harlow and Jeremiah is in his ring gear. His left arm is tattooed in tigerstripes and he has the initials H. H. and J. H. tattooed on his right pectoral in the area where his heart is in dogtags. Chris Clinton comes to them.)

[Chris Clinton]

Hello you two. May I get a few words from you Jeremiah? You have a cute daughter by the way.

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Thanks. Her name is Jasmine and she is four years old. Say hello sweetie

(Jasmine waves to Chris.)

[Jeremiah Hardin]

She is a little shy.

[Chris Clinton]

Truly understandable. Since you are new here Jeremiah can you tell us about yourself for the fans that may not know about you?

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Sure. I am a veteran of the greatest Army in the world. I had served in three tours of Afghanistan and two of Iraq. The all around scar i have on my right arm i got from the last tour of Afghanistan and that was the main reason i am no longer in the Army but I still support my brothers in arms even though I can not fight with them.

[Chris Clinton]

Defintely thank you for your service.

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Thank you for the support. Anyway while i was in the Army i was trained in professional wrestling by my uncle who is the legendary Dark Tiger. He is not only my uncle but he was a father figure to me as my father was KIA when I was four years old myself.

[Chris Clinton]

Killed in Action correct?

(jeremiah nods)

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Yeah. Dark Tiger had to be the father figure and I am glad he was too. My unc is an amazing man and i wouldnt be the man I am if it wasnt for him.

[Chris Clinton]

This lovely lady must be your wife.

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Yes she is. We have been married for four years and they have been the best years of my life. She has been my rock and has kept me sane whenever i have any flashbacks because I do suffer from them from time to time.

[Chris Clinton]

Well its nice to meet you Harlow.

[Harlow Hardin]

Same here.

[Chris Clinton]

Now that the introductions are out of the way you have a match this week against Stalker. He has had some words for you.

(They watch what Stalker had to say and Jeremiah thinks and smiles.)

[Jeremiah Hardin]

So Stalker wanted to get biblical. Yeah I realize that my name is biblical. My late mother gave me that name because she loved the Hebrew meaning of it which means "Yahweh will raise".

[Harlow Hardin]

Thats a reason i love that name too.

(Jeremiah smiles)

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Stalker needs to realize something. He can not and will not intimidate me. No one can and no one will. I will stare Stalker right in his beady little eyes and he will see not fear but determination to succeed here in NCW.

I bear the scar of battle and the images of war still reside within me but those images i have inside my my mind are the images of the comradery i have had with my fellow soldiers of war.

I believe we are something special because God has given all of us a purpose on this earth and those that have fallen in war have surved their purpose and they are a part of the Army of the Lord Almighty who my heart belongs to. My heart belongs to this gorgeous beauty and my little princess who are angels that God have given me and i cherish them.

(Harlow smiles and so does Jasmine. Jeremiah looks into the camera.)

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Did you hear that Stalker? What that literallg means is that you are going to be in a battle you will not be walking out of. You want to talk about letting out the hounds of war being let loose on the roster? I fought alongside those hounds of war on more than one occasion and I have lost comrades and friends because of them. Me being chum in water so i could be fed to you? When that bell rings Stalker the only thing that will be fed to you will be the sole of my boot because I plan on stopping your rampage of madness before it even gets started.

Stalker your dilusuons of madness will be put to bed because I fully intend on whoopin' your but from here to next year. I am a former World champion and even though its a dark match it matters not to me your butt gets handed to at Battery.

[Chris Clinton]

Anything to add to that Harlow?

[Harlow Hardin]

No. He pretty much summed it up better than I could at this point.

[Chris Clinton]

Alright. Thank you for the interview. Its definitely an honor to have someone like you on our roster.

[Jeremiah Hardin]

Its an honor to be part of NCW. I will not let Miss Desmond down.

[Harlow Hardin]

Neither will I as his manager.

(Chris leaves and they stand there as Trenches by Pop Evil ft DMC plays to commercial.)
