Post by Ryan Gates on Nov 2, 2018 9:05:44 GMT -8
The sounds of metal clanging against the cement floor can be heard as the dim lighting in the bowels of The Sanctum come to life. In the middle of the room is a fifty-five gallon barrel and the smell of kerosene fumes fill the room. Wood and cardboard are shown sticking out of the top of the barrel. A silhouette of a man steps forward and the flicker of a match brings forth a flame. The figure drops the match into the barrel igniting the kindling inside. The flames rise and flicker to reveal the identity of the shadowy figure to be Ryan Gates of the Enigma Protocol. He stares at the flames and appears to be in some sort of trance. The barking of his tag partner, Miguel, can be heard in background. Ryan snaps out of the trance and smiles as he looks up towards the camera.
“Questions. They are the means of getting information about certain people, places, and things. Sometimes they are asked when they’re not needed which can lead to swift often severe consequences. Which brings to mind the question of my absence last week. Where was I when Miguel was out there handling business the only way he knows how? I was handling some family business back home in Toledo. What type of family business, you ask? The type of family business that is none of your fucking concern. Speaking of concern, I heard that Queen Mush-Mouth has been running her dicksucker to anyone who would listen about how her and her moron of a partner had the Protocol beaten. So she’s been granted a rematch at a later date.”
Ryan scoffs.
“Don’t count your chickens yet, Azurine, because everyone knows that the outcome will be the exact same as it was in our first encounter. The two of you going to the back with your tails tucked between your legs and licking your wounds. The Protocol doesn’t give a damn about how close you’ve gotten to beating us. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. We have no use for two yapping bitches whose biggest complaint in life is getting the wrong coffee at a fucking Starbucks. You two make me absolutely fucking sick to my stomach.”
Ryan turns his head to cough and spits out a wad of mucus into the distance.
“Turning my attention to the task at hand. It seems that Finale (in his infinite wisdom) has found another ‘team’ to try and take our championships. On one hand, you have some glorified lap dog and on the other you have a woman who can’t win the big one. It’s funny that she seemed to be the one who spoke up in a little confrontation with Isabella. You have a lot of confidence in yourself, Sam. Which is admirable for someone who has failed against F.M. Young on four separate occasions. I guess getting your ass beat by her, again, at Wideawake finally triggered that ‘flee’ response in your brain. Yet, in doing that it also triggered the ‘dumbass’ response as well. That happened when you decided to fuck with the Protocol.”
Ryan laughs.
“Then like the protector he is, your lover decides to interject himself as well. Have you two not learned anything from the teams that came before you? It’s a bad idea to get involved with Protocol business. Ask Alyssa Daniels what happens when you decide to fuck with Miguel and myself. Ask Erik Holland about the Protocol and he’ll piss his pants at the mere mention of our names. I would say to ask K-Remix but he hasn’t shown his face around here since Miguel and I beat the hell out of him.”
A breath escapes Ryan’s lungs.
“Joseph, I know you’re trying to make up for all of your indiscretions when it came to Samantha. Which is admirable but you’ve chosen the wrong time to try and be the knight in shining armor. You’ve made the mistake of involving yourself with someone who has crossed our path. We are not some no name competitors who show up to collect a check. We are the best and only tag team here in Elysium. Yet, you had to protect your lover. I get it because that’s what any man would do for his woman. But Joseph, you have no idea what you’re getting in to by entering the fray. We have taken other teams and left them in broken, bloody heaps. We made the leader of the Infinity Revolution kill himself because of his fear of what we would do to him. We are the violent thoughts of everyone’s mistakes. We ended the careers of the men who trained us. We did that to people we respect. Imagine what we’ll do to the two of you in this match. Joseph, Sam, I have one question to ask the two of you.”
Ryan takes a breath.
“Do you two realize what you’ve done? You made the biggest faux pas in wrestling history. You have gotten in the way of the blood tornado known as The Enigma Protocol. Your bodies will be strewn all over the ring and you will end up as just a fucking statistic.”
Ryan turns away from the fire to join Miguel and Isabella as the fire burns down slowly.

6th November, 2018 15:31 PM EST Toronto, Ontario Exact Location: The Sanctum Warehouse Status: On-Camera
”I’m the loser. That right, Isabella?”
Sam is standing in the ring for Chapter IV. Beside her is Joseph. He stays silent … for now, allowing Samantha to have her chance to speak, as this is primarily her promo.
”Okay. You wanna go down that route? I can play that game with you. Let’s go back to WideAwake, shall we? Between me, Ryan, and Miguel, who lasted the longest? Who had the longest fight?”
Joseph smirks as he quietly nods and points to Samantha.
”Damn fucking straight. Your so-called animal didn’t even last a whole three minutes against Alyssa. And that was before she took the World Championship from SHIDO! So … you wanna talk shit about me? I mean … “
Sam shakes her head, scoffing lowly.
”Okay. Just know that I’m not the only one here who, by your ‘definition’, is a loser. Ryan? Take a goddamn number and get in line. You know how many people keep bringing Young up? Tons. You know how many damns I give right now about fighting her in WideAwake?”
Samantha puts her hands behind her back.
”None. Sorry, not sorry, Young. As tough as you are, I am still ticked about facing you. But now it’s less about feeling like that was purposely rigged and more because I simply like new competition. Like DEIMOS and the Enigma Protocol. It’s … repetitive. And with the Iron and Hybrid Championships gone? I’d rather wait to face you again when those are returned, or about to be.”
Sam moves to the nearest set of ropes and sits on top of them. Her arms cross over her chest.
”So … run that by me again, Ryan. When exactly did I heed the ‘flee’ instinct over my ‘fight’ one?”
She looks over to Joseph.
”Hun? You know what he’s going on about?”
Joseph shakes his head.
”Not a damn clue.”
The Titaness smirks, nodding in agreement.
”That's what I thought,” she mutters in agreement before looking back and gazing into the camera.
”I admit, yes. You both have all the reasons in the world to believe the outcome will be the same as before. However, there are major differences between the two of us and previous teams who have faced you. Very, very few opponents have had a close bond like we have. The last people who even did were Tiami and Erik.
“Not to say Talia and Azurine don’t have a meaningful partnership. However … from what I’ve seen, they haven’t worked or been together as long as we have.”
Sam holds both hands out, slowly raising fingers one by one. They stop when she counts up to seven.
”Almost eight, in fact. But there ya go. Seven years. I don’t think - with all due respect to them - that Holland and Tiami stayed together that long. You know what kind of devotion it takes to remain with a person that long? You know how much trust that involves?”
Her arms go back over her chest.
”You should. Lest I’m mistaken, Miguel and Ryan have been together even longer than we have, yes? Not as an intimate couple, no. But … a partnership in its own rights nonetheless. Perhaps just as importantly, however, is the million dollar question, so to speak.”
Sam smirks knowingly.
”So, what have you two boys been doing since Elysium’s door closed? Where else have you fought?”
A slight pause lingers before The Titaness replies.
”Nowhere or, maybe, just maybe, you did some underground fighting. As someone who used to do that, I know they don’t make announcements about matches known to the public much, if at all. But until I hear otherwise, I can only assume you’ve sat on your asses, partied like it’s 2009 - 1999 is too cliche - and had far too many siestas. Me? I’ve always been fighting. The longest I stopped was for one to two weeks, and that was to help the Shieldmaidens scout for a new place we could all walk into and dominate. Aside from that?
“I have always been in a ring. I have fought far worse opponents than either of you. Worse meaning taller, stronger, far more intimidating, and quite a few even more ‘feral’ than both of you combined.”
Sam chuckles.
”Not only did Miguel fail to beat Alyssa, he couldn't get a clean win off of DEIMOS. He had to use shady techniques. And he’s supposed to be the animal between you two? He should be ashamed of himself. A true beast doesn’t need to sink to those levels. They only need their fangs, instincts, and the will to rip their foes apart.”
She quickly raises her right index finger.
”Don’t think for one second I’m assuming this fight will be easy. I’m not that foolish like I used to be. However, if you think you can pull those same tricks against me and Joseph?”
Her head shakes.
”Think again, boys. We will do what no one has been able to succeed in. We will defeat Enigma Protocol. Both Isabella and Ryan have already very stupidly underestimated the both of us. Haven’t even tried keeping up with our careers. You’ve got the same idiotic mindset SHIDO had before he lost the World Championship. He thought he was perfection incarnate. That because he’d held his title for so long, no one could take it away.”
Sam’s smirk widens.
”And look how that went, eh? You wanna keep thinking you’re invincible just because you’ve had a long reign?”
Sam scoffs, shaking her head.
”I'm sure you two have heard the saying about what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted, right? You'll both see that scenario come to life when Chapter IV arrives."
One last confident grin is seen before blackness replaces the feed.

We see Isabella sitting on one of the Sanctum’s docks. Her pale legs hanging over the edge and swinging freely. “ My brother beat DEIMOS just like I said he would. Just like he and Ryan beat Paradise Tango. Just like they are gonna beat weird couple team number two.” She laughs slightly. “ And since Sam decided to bring it up, Miguel did what he had to do to win. Not every wild animal is a rabid brute. Sure, Miguel likes to take that route. But when he needs to be cunning, like the wolf he is, he can do it.” “ And make no mistake, he is every bit the wolf he claims to be. He is ferocious when it is needed, and he is cunning when that is what it takes. It’s how one survives. Brute force can only take you so far.” A wicked grin creeps onto Isabella’s face. “ You should know that better than anyone. Since you want to bring up facts and statistics two can play that game. But I will give you some props. Your little diatriba was almost convincing. You almost had me believing you.” “ You see, Miguel and I were out in the woods, his usual non-ring training, and were out of contact with people. When we got back I got my notifications of your little video and the debrief from Finale. I figured your video was the more important of the two. So I sat down and watched it with Miguel. And I must say,” Her thumb pops up, “ You were really believable. Then, I figured I would give FInale’s little thing a watch. And can you guess what I found out?” Pause with mock surprise for effect. “ That all your talk about being better because of this match or that match, was actually certifiable mierda.” She shakes her head. “ There was Finale, our boss, talking about how great Ryan and Miguel are. How after Chapter Four either one of them could be a contender for the World Title. I was speechless. How could this be? Samantha Hamilton just got done telling me how she is so much better than them. That they aren’t that great and are gonna get beat.” “ Surely Sam couldn’t have been lying could she? Maybe despite what she’s said she does have a bad case of over confidence. Then, at the end of the show, they gave the current top fifteen rankings. And to my surprise there, in a tie for third place, were Ryan and Miguel. Behind the World Champion and the challenger facing her this show. And there in the middle of the pack, as always, was our lovely Sam Hamilton. And practically bringing up the rear her little partner.” Isabella picks up a piece of debris and tosses it out into the water. “ Wait, what’s that I hear? Is that all of little Sammy’s bluster and bravado? Oh, Lo siento. Your spin game was almost on point. You really could have fooled someone. Sad that, you know, facts, got in the way of your fantasy world. This is how things are going to go down, love birds. Enigma Protocol is going to beat you, like they have every other team put against them. They will take their rightful place as longest reigning champions, period, and then one of them will go on to challenge for the World Title. Personally, I hope it’s Miguel. He has some payback for The champ. That is, assuming she keeps the belt.” “ But every journey has a start. The start of Enigma Protocol holding all the titles in Elysium, begins with their defeat of you two. Don’t get me wrong, you two will come and fight. Everyone always does. You might even be impressive. But the outcome will be the same. Doesn’t matter if it's you two, Tango, or any other team Elysium wants to bring around. Enigma Protocol are going to walk out with the Tag Team Titles. It’s what they do. You can think what you want. Try and spin some narrative that they aren’t a big deal. But, puta, you gotta realize something.” She smirks. “ They are the best team in Elysium. Period. End of statement. Every team they have faced has disappeared shortly after losing to them. They are predators slowly making their way through all of the prey. You want to think because there weren’t off like you, trying to prove some meaningless point in company after company, that they aren’t going to do what they have always done? How? Maybe if you and your boyservent were their first defense. But that isn't the case. They came into their first defense since Elysium came back and do what they always do. Defend their titles. The Tag Team Division is their territory. They are the rulers of it and they say who gets to survive. You two could have skirted around below their notice if you were smart. But you had to stick your noses out and get noticed.” She stands up and tosses the last little bit of debris into the water. “ I hope you two are ready. I really am. Simply because I know what Ryan and Miguel can do when properly motivated. They ended careers of three wrestlers since Elysium signed them. What’s stopping them from ending two more? Who are you two to think you actually stand a chance. You can be a couple all you like, but that doesn’t transition into being a good tag team. You, as a couple, can only be so close. Ryan and Miguel are practically brothers. Nothing is closer than that sort of bond. We are the wolf pack that maintains the size of Elysium. Hope we don’t think it needs a little trimming.” Isabella chuckles and gives a little wave before the scene fades.

”Seems like everyone in this industry finds a way to twist and manipulate words. Shame, really. But I suppose that’s just the loss of the person who was foolish enough to make such a gesture. In this case, that falls upon you, Isabella.”
We see Joseph sitting atop a log outside. In his right hand is one of his hunting daggers. Meanwhile, a knife sharpener rests beside him. He tosses the weapon from one hand to the other a few times, re-catching it again in his right before beginning to run the blade against the metal surface.
”I could go on and on correcting her about what Sam did or didn’t say. But nah. No point in doing so. Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? Before that, though, one last quip; I was a tad amazed and disappointed I didn’t hear from Miguel directly. Would have preferred it, but …”
Joseph shrugs.
”I suppose Isabella is the new F.M. Sloane we gotta deal with since she speaks for the others.”
His eyes roll as Orion mutters one single word.
”Lovely. Anyway … there are some things about me that do need straightening up. First and foremost, Ryan? You don’t tell me when I’m ready. Get it? Got it? Great. And secondly?”
A knowing smirk appears on his face.
”You think I’m coming into the ring as Sam’s white knight? Seriously?”
His head shakes as he chuckles darkly.
”No, no. Nothing close. See, white knights help out damsels in distress. Sam is anything but that. She’s a warrior. You guys tried to go on and on about us being scared of you. But answer me this. When has she shown fear? Like Young pointed out, she has repeatedly gone against The One Woman Army despite the risks or dangers of being permanently incapacitated. Would someone who’s terrified of another fighter willingly do such things? If you can say yes with a straight face …”
His head shakes as he continues sharpening the knife.
”You’re fools, the whole lot of ya. More so than you already are, I suppose. In case you haven’t been seeing it, change is swimming through the Elysian Fields. SHIDO, the once invincible God, has lost his title. This caused him to disappear into whatever realm he enjoys hiding away in. The Hybrid and Iron Championships have been removed for the time being. And now … we are being given an opportunity. One that you two have only had to worry about losing two other times.”
His eyebrow raises a bit.
”Two defenses in nearly almost a year-long reign? That’s … kinda sad. I get it and all, but still … that won’t change my opinion. I digress. Maybe it hasn't been obvious who exactly I am, and that's my fault. See, I've been the same person who has recorded Sam ever since she debuted as a professional wrestler. I have watched every fight she has partaken in. All seven years' worth. I have seen what every opponent she has faced is capable of. So for your spokeswoman to think we're charging in and have zero ideas on what we're doing … ”
The words trail off on purpose as Orion smirks.
"Patético. Don't worry. We both know fully well what we're doing, as well as who we're going against. I promise you, the last people Enigma Protocol are going against this time are people who will hesitate. Nor are we prey. We're both hunters. Predators. And we're very hungry for opportunities like this."
Finally, Joseph pulls the knife away from the sharpener and begins quietly examining it at various angles. When he's satisfied, he smirks and sheathes it away, withdrawing a second. He then begins to enhance the new weapon whilst still giving his attention to the viewers.
"I'm sure at least one of you has heard 'there's more than one way to skin a cat' before. The same applies to wolves, ya know? Few people just attempt to try using it on another animal."
As he finishes with the second knife, the sharpener seems to vanish into the air itself. Orion stands, revealing he's clad in a matching camouflage top and pants.
"You can be a full-fledged, literal werewolf for all I care."
As he makes a 'come here' gesture, Sam jumps down from a tree. The two begin silently stalking through a nearby forest.
"But that isn't gonna stop us. We're coming for you both, like it or not. You may have all the reasons in the world to boast. That's fine. But a reign like yours only makes the two of you a bigger target. The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
In the distance, Miguel and Ryan can be seen. They turn and see only Sam. Joseph has seemed to have hidden himself. Sam charges forward, taking them both on and preventing them from trying to find her partner's location. She handles herself pretty well. Even knocks Ryan out after a few minutes of fighting the two. Miguel, however, manages to tackle her down. He leans down, ready to rip her throat out.
It's at this moment that Joseph jumps down and stabs Miguel, causing the wolf to howl in sheer agony. He snarls angrily, trying desperately to toss Orion off, only to get stabbed with the second dagger. For good measure, Sam thrusts a knee up, slamming it into Miguel's chest. The Titaness smirks as Miguel collapses and stands beside Joseph.
"Streaks die, just like people and pride. It's a matter of 'when', not 'if' it'll happen."
One last shot of Sam and Joseph standing over the defeated duo is seen before the feed cuts out.
