I'd have liked to do more, but all I can manage is shoot this week. Work has been a pain in the ass all week. Speaking of which, I'm probably going to be late back from lunch, so post and run...

OOC: Guys, I'm sorry for the lateness. We've been hit with a massive snowstorm and the internet kept flickering on and off. Because most of this was written last night, I haven't had a chance to read Christy's rp. The first part is CD and the red last section is MR. Enjoy!

[align=center]Sunday Night Aggression!


Gods, my head...my back...

I hadn't felt this much pain since...the last time I had been knocked, which had been at Gang Rulz last year.

Gods, everything hurt and yeah...I could barely hear the fans shouting and roaring. The light trembling of mats as someone was dropped, probably either Kayl or Matthews, I didn't know...

Sleep...

Yes, I wanted to sleep. I had done enough. I had fought and proven my point. Kayl and Matthews could have this match. No one really wanted or expected me to win. It was stupid to think that. I had botched my championship match and-

AH! My back, it hurt to move. No, just relax your body and sleep for a moment.

I wanted to, I had learned enough and the truth was, if I wanted to get David Helms-gods I felt lucid right now- I would need more time and more challengers. Maybe a former heavyweight champion like I did with Syren. That would help. Or Lucas Knight. Was he still around? CHBK? Shawn Winters was gone so that wouldn't work, but I thought I had seen Masquerade earlier so that could work too.

It's alright, my mind told myself. You proved that you could still hang and unlike Alex Jr. you're here and uninjured. This isn't even part of Body, Heart and Soul. You're a pre-show warmup to the main thing. Better than a dark match but still not worth losing your progress over. You did well. It's enough.

It's not enough! Don't you dare quit!

My eyes shot open though I had to close them again as the blinding lights of the arena stung my eyes.

Get up, Christian!

Savior (barely a whisper): Rose?

Who do you think it is? Get up now! Matthews is about to tap!

I can't. It hurts to move.

Get up!

Her screaming in my head...why was she even here?! I was busy working! This was exactly what Gabe had warned me about! This...we both were calling it ghost now so why not just stick with that... was driving me up the wall. Driving me crazy. She was going to get me killed or have me kill myself! But her screaming to "get up" was causing the headache from the kick from Kayl to get worse and worse.

Fuck! If it will get you to stop yelling at me!

My hands found the ropes and quickly, though I couldnt be sure how, I pulled myself into the ring to see Matthews locked in some kind of reverse figure-four...did people still do the figure-four-

He's going to tap! STOP KAYL!

I acted on the yelling of whatever was in my head, be it ghost or dementia and all but flopped down to Donovan...Devon...whatever!...my feet landing at his temple. He released the hold and rolled out of the way-

Oh great, my mind screamed as I got to a knee...Now the match is going to continue- Dear god, what was I-

Christian, behind you! Seven o'clock!

That phrasing... I...I don't know how it...My head jerked around to the side at the angle I knew where to look in time to see Matthews charging at me...

The energy...

The feeling...

The moment...

I couldn't help the smirk that came to my face...

It was time. He was wide open...the moment where exhaustion clouds judgment and drops defenses...

Now.

I charged, roaring from my throat as my shoulder found its mark. Matthews body gave like a thing bag of rice, clumping to the ground.

I hit it. I hit it! I hit the spear! I could still do it! Desperately, I grabbed the leg and pulled him up for the pin-

Oh please don't let Kayl get in the way! Please dont let Thirteen come in for revenge. Please give me this-


The referee's hand hit the mat the third time and I heard the bell rang. My eyes quickly scanned around me to see if Kayl was nearby. He was but no where near to a pin on someone or me.

That meant...

Savior (to himself): I won...

I fell back, my body shaking as I backed away from the two other combatants, the energy leaving me and the adrenaline fading as the referee came over to raise my arm.

I won...I did it...

Yes you did.

My head jerked around just in time to give a nod as a I saw the figure standing at the corner I lay near, her face a bright smile and her hands clapping as tears filled her eyes.

I'm so proud of you.

Slowly, my hands found the turnbuckle and allowed me to climb up it to celebrate the win. The fans thought I was celebrating with them. In a way, I was, but really...

I was celebrating with her. Truthfully, I was kind of proud of myself too.

_____________________________________________

And that's what happened.

And you then left and came back here?

More or less.

That's quite remarkable, Christian.

I know. I just...wow...

He he...you're still a little stunned?

Yeah, I...she helped me. I would have gotten nailed if it wasn't for Rose shouting at me.

And you're sure you saw her at the end of the match?

Absolutely. When I sat in the ring, she was there. She looked happy.

Probably because you were happy with yourself. Considering how YOU felt with such an accomplishment. You're still feeling it.

Yeah, but you asked me to tell you when something different happened with her.

You're referring to her involvement in your match. It's never happened before?

Not once. And never have I seen her in an arena. It's always been somewhere private or quiet.

And you said at first it bothered you.

She was nagging me.

I see. Heh. Then?

Well, then I just acted- that's the part I wanted to tell you about as well.

Okay.

When she said something to me- I mean- when she warned me of Matthews, she said "Seven o'clock".

Does that time have a particular significance?

No, but it's...okay...you know how the hands on a clock...the little spaces on it that represents the hours can be used for head directions-

Where to look?

Yeah. When I was...like way back in my first job- a little business called "Monday Nite Wars", Rose was my manager and valet. She wouldn't really wrestle till later. When we started working together, she would use the "clock" system, yelling times during matches or training sessions on where to look, kick and that kind of shit.

Please watch the language, Christian. You know my rules of etiquette.

Sorry, slip of the tongue.

No apologies needed. You were saying?

Well, it was that kind of training that allowed me to be a good wrestler back then and carry on through SCW. That's why I was winning alot back then in IWC and SCW.

You think Rose is trying to re-train you?

I think...she's trying to help me re-train myself.

And why is that, do you think?

Because...I really have no where else to head? No, that's not it. Maybe...all this talk about starting from the bottom and working my way up...

Take your time, Christian. There is no rush.

Okay...I...I never would have gotten so far in my career without Rose training me at first. And when I really became myself in SCW, working with her saved me on several occasions and gave me a hell of a lot of success. The good kind. Maybe, in wanting to start over, maybe Rose is going back to the basics I would instinctively go to?

Well, you mentioned how alive you felt knowing what the time meant and seeing Matthews...you mentioned that you felt amazing being able to deduce his movement.

And then spear him. Yeah, I felt like I was finally in control of something.

But may I ask you a personal question?

Sure.

What makes this particular spear better than the one you hit in your last match with Natalie....Dubrinsky?

....

Because...the one I hit on Natalie was really desperation and last resort kind of thing. I just reacted. Matthews...I saw him coming and I executed it in full control. I felt like that move was mine to make.

I felt like the opportunist again.

And Rose was there.

Yeah. Especially that. What do you think?

Well, Christian, I think that our first discussion of this is becoming more and more accurate. It's clear that Rose is, for one reason or another, involving herself more and more intricately into your life. Whether that be because of your acceptance of her as a spirit or she truly is a spirit, I cannot say and I won't in my notes. But if this is aiding your progress-

It is. I feel so excited about my next match. Win or lose.

Then I cannot see a reason for it to cease. Psychologically, it's been most beneficial for you.

And as a friend?

I remind you to keep your wits about you. This is not something you can publicly announce. You must remain confident and driven but DO NOT mention her involvement or the circumstances surrounding it. If you do...I don't know what would happen.

Uh-be-be-be-be That's all folks.

Heh, exactly.

So...continue where I'm going?

Provided you keep safe and on the right track and continue with progress? Yes.

And if I see her again in a match or something?

Then take her advice into consideration, but do not be reckless. You still have that knee to deal with.

Yeah, I'm kinda worried about that. The next opponent usually attacks in packs and...she's gonna be tough.

Would you rather not compete?

No, I do! I just am worried about my knee.

Be careful.

I will, and I'm sure Rose will say something to that affect eventually.

Speaking of which, I forgot to ask. How long did she stay after you saw her?

Hmmm...All night. She was in the locker room after the other superstars congratulated me. She stayed with me in the apartment till I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up, she was gone. Haven't seen her since.

Still, that would be, what? Twelve or so hours?

Around that mark, yes.

Interesting.

Why?

Just interesting.

...


I still want to get together with you and Alex, okay?


Yeah.

Is next week okay? Alex is home for three days during when you usually come in.

Ummm...sure. I'll call if there's a problem.

Good. Any last notes?

Nope...I kinda said everything I wanted to. You?

Just to be mindful of that knee and to keep focus on your reality. Rose may be there, but there is a reason you can only see her. Remember that.

I know, I know. This isn't "the movies", right?

I'm serious, Chris. You're not in an easy situation. It can easily turn bad if you're not careful.

Thanks, Gabe. And I'll be careful...but I just...

I like feeling proud of myself.

You should be proud, Christian. You have every right to be.

_______________________________________________________

[align=right]I am proud of myself.

I know what you're thinking, "with pride cometh the fall". I think it was Shakespeare who wrote that.

Speaking of "Shakespeare", did you guys see that spear I did on Matthews. Man, that felt good. Like cracking a homerun for the first time or lifting a weight you thought you couldn't.

It felt really good.

And if that's pride and I have to fall...well, I already have fallen so to go down again would just mean I have to pick myself up, dust myself off and try again.

Isn't that what this is all about? My entire rise? To fall and fail and keep climbing?

Do you honestly think I'm not going to fail? If Sunday Night Aggression was any indication, I am definitely going to fail. I will lose. No one is unbeatable in SCW. No one. The odds are too great. But it's all about what you make of losses and and how you mold them into success.

I don't feel arrogant or unbeatable. I beat two very talented wrestlers, yes, but it was pride that I was able to do while taking so much punishment.

So yeah, I am proud of myself, that I'm really turning this around. Making my life mean something. That my drive to Thirteen continues on and I'm that much closer to David Helms, which will lead me to Thirteen! I'm proud that I can continue forward.

Can you say, I'm wrong, Christy? I know you can't. I know it because, truly, Christy...you've been where I am.

I know, forgive me for being so blunt in this. I hate to bring up old wounds, but it was in all the news of SCW when it happened. Your loss to David Helms after winning a tournament...your loss to him...wasn't it Body, Heart and Soul two or so years ago or something like that?

You attempted suicide, didn't you?

Matthews, please...I do not wish to bury you in dirt when I say that...

I say it because...I'm inspired. I'm inspired by that story. You HAVE been where I was. Where I am so close too still. There's still that dark little demon, that voice, in my head, telling me to give up and surrender. To embrace oblivion and give in.

But you didn't, did you?

You fought through your dark moments. You fought tooth and claw every step of the way and...you got the SCW Title. The cause of your pain- you found redemption, Christy.

It is so inspiring to me...

Can you imagine now when I say how I consider myself truly invigorated to face you again?

Because it didn't end when you lost the title on Breakdown, did it? You were haunted and threatened and opposed and you kept going, headlining last Rise to Greatness after winning the Trios Tournament-

Hell, even last week, you outlasted Xander Valentine...the damn Executioner of SCW. You brought a rest to his and Damian's stalking and attacking of you, we can only hope. I hope because I don't want either of them interfering in this match.

You constantly prove that you're there to grow and advance. To take your wins and losses and make the most of them.

You inspire me...and I envy that, Christy.

To have that faith, continuous for so long, unfettered and undeterred. It's...

They say the candle that burns brightest also burns the fastest.

I have feared that my drive...my passion...my faith in this endeavor will end the moment I am able to silence Thirteen once and for all. That it all will come to a crashing halt and the phoenix will burn up once more...

I did fear that...until Body, Heart and Soul. In that match, Christy, I wanted to give up. To preserve myself so that I could last a little bit longer. I was okay with losing and surrendering the match if it brought me a little closer to another day and another chance.

But...that's not really what I do. What people like us do, is it? We take our opportunities when we get them. We take and fight each battle until we have no breath left in us. And when we have no breath left, we punch ourselves in the gut to force more air out and into our lungs and then we push a little more and when that idea doesn't work, we hold our breath and keep pushing till we fucking pass out.

That's what we do, Christy. That's what I need to do. In every match, every moment. And if that causes me to burn out like a raging inferno, then so be it. Because now, I may...may just be the number one contender to the Adrenaline title. Imagine that. I know Helms will be busy at Retribution so any possibility of facing him is small, but to be even considered...means I'm going up as you did, Matthews...

But that's the future. The present gives us a present. You and I. Two climbers. But where you are at the top of a new mountain, having conquered so many already, I am merely at a hill, clamoring up as fast as I can.

But my hands are in deep as I claw up that hill. In really deep. Deep enough that no wind or snow or howling or even an avalanche from your mountains will deter me. You know what it's like to be here, so know the truth in what I say.

I have no hesitation in stepping into the ring with you, Christy. You are a former World Champion, far longer in reign and effectiveness than me. You're pretty much the dominant force in the Order of Chaos.

I'm just me.

No long title reign to brag about in the last three years. No faction to support me. Just me, Christian Savior.

And I've never felt more exhilarated by being that. I want to face you, Christy. I want to face someone that's conquered there demons and fights with a fire that rivals mine. I want to face someone that knows how to fight and claw and use all they have to progress forward. I want to fight someone that knows how to survive.

You're all those things, Christy, and in you fighting me, you'll bring all these things out in me. I'll have to claw and pounce, I'll have to survive...

But more than that, I'll have to be ruthless. No hesitation. No remorse and no second-thoughts. See, I know from our past how you fight and I was arrogant and didn't take you seriously. I am not that kind of fool anymore.

I'm a different fool altogether. And like I mentioned as the flame burning on the candle, I know that if Xander could not get the job done in a "last person standing match", then it's gonna take a whole new kind of ruthless being to put you away.

But think of it like this, Christy. If I can. If I can be THAT ruthless and put you away for a three count, or make you submit...or even...even if I can just fight and survive you till the ref says "the match is a draw"...if I can survive you in any of those factions...

I'll prove that I can be...I am that ruthless...Ruthless enough to target David Helms. To make him see me further...

To understand that I am a very real threat to him and that he is next on my list.

He and the Adrenaline Championship.

So let us fight, Christy. You and I. One more time. And we'll see if my fire can match yours. We both will fight and we both will burn and we both will try and survive...

But remember my words, Christy. I will show you the power of the spear and you will show me your "fairy tale ending" with a twist, and as we both go into the ashes, hand in hand...remember...


Ex Cineribus Resurgam...
From the Ashes, I will Rise...

I am the Phoenix!
