Revelation 6:5-6
“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand, and I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”
Luke hobbles backstage, holding his neck, with the help of Wolf who is holding his own back from the clothesline to the outside from Broom
“Luke...what is our plan from here?”
Luke looks at him, then looks away as he walks out of his grasp
“Well...the same as its always been brother...we just need to get back to it...for the siren has been sounded…”
He walks out of the arena, Wolf looking confused with what Luke just said, then just shrugs and follows him out, they then get into the car and drive off into the night
--------------------------------------------
*Hours later*
---------------------------------------------
The car pulls up to the wooden cabin, The Judge standing at the door, looking down at the floor, waiting for The Father and Wolf to arrive home, The Judge looks up and grunts, before walking to The Father's side of the car and opens the door
“Hello brother...I hope everything was good back home?”
He says getting out of the car, still holding his neck, The Judge tilts his head, confused at Luke’s pain
“Its okay brother...I will be fine in the morning...I promise”
Luke places his hand on the back of The Judges neck and presses his forehead against Judge’s mask, and The Judge responds with a low grunt
“I promise...I am okay”
The Father responds with softly, before removing his hand from the back of The Judges neck, and grabbing the bible and his sunglasses from inside the car door, and heading inside, with Wolf and The Judge following close behind
--------------------------
*The next day*
-------------------------
The doors swing open in the church, the crowd quieting as The Father, Wolf and The Judge walk into the church, The Father's arms out wide as he walks down the aisle, as he reaches the front he turns and looks over the crowd gathered before him, noticing a couple of empty seats, before turning to The Judge and nodding, and The Judge walks out of the room, slamming the church doors behind him
“My children...it is time for the third seal...to be opened...and the siren...the siren has been sounded my children..."
He begins pacing back and forth as he usually does, seeming a bit distracted as he speaks, occasionally looking back at Wolf, before he continues to speak
“I...came up short at the last show...Billy was quite the challenge, and he proved to be all the hype he says he is, especially now…after our match...handing me my first loss in WFWF…”
Luke looks back at Wolf, then at the mans chest skin that is still nailed to the back of the church, before then looking out over the crowd gathered before him
“...I have another challenge before me…”The Delicate Little Flower” Daisy...and I am not sure how this challenge will go for me...for us…”
He holds his hands out over to the crowd of people
“...my children...you all mean the world to me...and with that...being said...I just want to sa-”
Luke is cut off by the doors swinging open and The Judge holding two people by their collar, and as Luke sees this, he snaps back, the sorrow filled Luke gone, and the sadistic, cruel leader returns
“Thank you for finding these lost sheep brother…”
Luke places his hand on the back of The Judges neck again, and presses his forehead against his mask once again
“...you have proven yourself worthy to me...and to our community brother…”
Luke looks back at the two people kneeling before him
“So...you two decided to skip todays sermon...and why was that?”
“Please forgive us Father...we meant nothing of it…”
“Nothing of it?.."
Luke chuckles to himself, before staring a hole through the two
"..do you realise how saying that will change your beliefs? How it will change how you act in this community? HOW IT HAS DISHONORED OUR LORD?!?”
Luke chuckles to himself, before staring a hole through the two
"..do you realise how saying that will change your beliefs? How it will change how you act in this community? HOW IT HAS DISHONORED OUR LORD?!?”
Luke begins to shout at the two
“YOU SKIP THE SERMON, DISHONOR OUR LORD, DISHONOR ME? AND YOU JUST EXPECT TO BE FORGIVEN?!?”
“Luke...he said he was sorry...he is just asking for forgiv-”
“THIS DOES NOT CONCERN YOU WOLF!”
Luke snaps back at his brother
“THIS CONCERNS THESE TWO DELINQUENTS! NOT YOU!”
Wolf looks to the side, clearly upset at Luke yelling at him
“YOU TWO ARE OUT OF HERE! GONE! YOU ARE NO LONGER PART OF THIS FAMILY! YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME!”
“Please Father...we didn’t mean to dishonor you…”
“Please...please reconsider Father...she doesn’t have anywhere else to go Father...her family...they are no longe-”
“I HAVE MADE MY CHOICE!”
Luke calms himself down, and nods at The Judge, before he picks up the man and woman off the floor and begins to take them out of the church, kicking and screaming
“FATHER! PLEASE!”
“PLEASE! PLEASE LET US STAY!”
They continue to scream and cry out to Luke, who just stands there, face expressionless, Wolf is in the background looking at his brother...shocked at what his brother had just done, the doors slam close, and the two people are gone
--------------
Later that evening
--------------
Wolf is kneeling in front of his dresser, looking at a photo of a woman with 2 small children in front of her
“Why is he like this Ma? This...this isn’t like him…”
Wolf says softly, hoping not to disturb Luke and/or The Judge
“...I felt like he knew everything when I first talked to him...which is why I did what I did in that sports bar...because I wanted to protect him...and protect his ways…”
He leans closer to the photo
“Which is why I pulled that gun...which is why I threatened those two random kids...I thought he was right...but Im not so sure now Ma...I feel...I just don't know...now, hes carving people up, he's throwing people who have nowhere to go out of here...I'm just worried he's going down the wrong path with all this…”
“Talking to our Mother...I see…”
Wolf quickly turns his head, and sees Luke standing in the door frame
“How long have you been-”
“Long enough...you have no reason to worry about all this Wolf...it's oka-”
“STOP CALLING ME THAT! My name...it isn't Wolf! And YOU!...You are not Luke Marshall!”
Lukes face loses all expression, staring a hole through Wolf
“What did you just say?”
“I SAID YOU'RE NOT LUKE MARSHALL! THAT IS NOT YOUR GODDAMN NAME!
“Why is all of this being brought up now? Why not talk to me about all of this?”
“BECAUSE...Because Im worried about you...you said you will be fine...you said everything will be okay...but when I saw your face go blue in that submission Broom locked you in...when your head just fell forward...I thought I lost the last family I had...I thought I...we...lost you…”
Wolf points to the picture of their mother...with a tear in his eye
“I don't know how much longer I can deal with this...first the name change...then you carving chunks of flesh off of people...off of your own followers for f*cksake ...I don't know man...I cant..I…”
Wolf stops himself and walks past Luke, bumping shoulders with him and leaving the cabin, starting the car, and driving off, Luke watching it all
-----------------
A dim light bulb turns on, and Luke is sat in front of the camera, no one by his side
“Well WFWF Universe...here I am...with no one by my side…”
Luke looks down at the ground, taking off his sunglasses and continuing to speak
“...Billy beat me at the last show...after quite the beating...which I commend him for...it can't be easy finishing a match after the beating I gave him...but one thing he did which I do not condone is him throwing the book of my people aside like it was nothing...like it had no value whatsoever…”
He lifts up the book, of which the cover is bent and it looks like a couple of pages has fallen out
“...But I am done with you Billy...for now...Daisy...you are now my primary focus...I couldn’t have anyone find anything about you...you are quite a mystery to many...many people Daisy…”
Luke looks up, holding his bible and sunglasses in one hand
“...but not secretive enough...You use people for your own gain...you used so many people for your own gain...and he knows...I know...you are just fragile...a fragile little girl locked behind the people that you use for your personal gain...I normally am not one to fight women...many women here with me...with my family...they are against this match even happening...”
He places his book and glasses down in front of the camera
“...but I for one will be glad to show you the wrongs of your ways Daisy...I can show you the path to salvation...I...I will show you how to clean your heart from all the injustices that you have partaken in...and how to cleanse your wicked...wicked heart…Daisy...this will be the end for your wicked ways...and the beginning of your path to salvation…”
Luke picks up his book again, and opens it to a page, reading it aloud
“...Those who use others for their own personal gain are subject to the punishment that shall be given to them by thy father…”
Luke looks up to the camera, closing the book shut
“...and Daisy...that is exactly what I am going to do to you...remember...I am only doing this out of love...there is no hate in what I do...everything I do I do for the betterment of mankind...and you are just a step towards total salvation Daisy...remember that...please…”
Out of the darkness, The Judge walks into frame, his head being cut off from the feed due to how he is that tall...the feed then begins to flicker and splutter out
“...please do not make me send The Judge out...I hate having to send him out on you poor...poor lost sheep...he does things I do not like Daisy...he will be joining me at ringside for our match instead of Wolf...do not do anything that will cause him to...act out…”
Luke smiles sinisterly between the flickering frames
“...because we do not want to see what he can do...it is for the best Daisy...that you don’t do anything of the sort…”
Luke smirks and gets out of his chair and walks away, The Judge staying behind, looking at the camera like he has never seen anything of the sort before...the camera slowly and slowly begins to die, with the last thing it sees being The Judges fist soaring towards the lens, just before it cuts out you hear the shattering glass, then nothing, darkness
