Crimson Cobra · (04-22-2013)

We find Crimson Cobra walking in a hallway of an XWF event, something is different. Cobra’s face… his hair… there is something off but we aren’t able to tell what it exactly is yet. The close up on his face slowly pans out and we see his torso. He is wearing a Crimson Crest t-shirt. His hair is longer than usual and his face looks as if it were a little less beaten.

With another pan out of the camera we see the 24/7 championship around his waist. Crimson Cobra stops at a vending machine the viewer’s waiting for it to fall knowing the ending to this story. Cobra pushes his dollar into the machine… But it comes out the machine spells out “Error” and Cobra shakes his head, easily aggravated. Crimson Cobra looks over to the machine to the left, but there are no bugles in that machine and he is forced to move on, he continues down the hallway.

Stopping at an odd sight Cobra sees what he thought was a snake in the hallway, he made his way over and…

it is his pet Cobra…

in the XWF arena…

backstage…

“What in the hell” this is his first thoughts and all he can really think to himself. The snake slithers towards him then looks over at the new vending machines that seemed to have popped out of nowhere. The vending machine with Cobra’s favorite salty snack seemed to be pushed out a little bit, cobra looks under the machine and sees two feet standing behind the vendor. He stands up getting out of the crouched position and begins to walk to the side of the machine. He leans a little bit balancing on one leg trying to remain undetected.

SMASH!

The vending machine comes crashing down on Cobra’s pet cobra and blood splatters all over Cobra’s leg that is still planted. The man behind the vending machine is now reviled and it is someone that no one was thinking.

No not the Senator.

It’s not Hardy or Nero the former champions.

It’s not even Blaze the rookie that Cobra demolished.

Mr. Russell A. Cobb. The man standing there looking Cobra eye to eye is his own father! His dad just killed the closest thing in Cobra’s life to him, his pet snake. His dad looked oddly younger, he was not at all looking like an old man who escaped from an insane asylum. Crimson Cobra’s FTW UFO title is slowly unhinging itself and begins to float in the air and makes its way over to his father, resting on Mr. Cobb’s shoulder as if he were the true owner. But in a matter of seconds Mr. Cobb’s face begins to bubble. The bubbling doesn’t stop but grows as does the man in height.

John “The Senator” Samuels is now the man standing in front of Cobra the championship that was lost to this man from Cobra is sitting on his shoulder.

Cobra
“There is no way… you are…”

The soft voice of Crimson is interrupted by another bubbling, this time the championship. The title is changing from the FTW UFC Championship to the European Championship, from a meaningless belt to one that means everything. Crimson Cobra is unsure of what to think of this situation, he knows that it can’t be reality but if it were a dream he wouldn’t be feeling as crushed as he was.

Cobra
“You can’t feel pain in dreams right?”

He turns for a second hoping that the odd figure of what ever in the hell it is in front of him will just leave, and move on with whatever it needs. As he turns around the object or person portraying The Senator only moved closer. The heat of his breath is felt on Cobra’s face and the familiar smell of bourbon returns from The Senator’s lips during their first meeting in the ring. Cobra’s eyes close once more and the breathing is gone, nothingness was now what he was feeling. Holding his eyes shut tight in fear of something far worse than John Samuels being there when he opens them. The heat of sunlight on the back of Cobra was all he could feel and this makes him open his eyes.

A new area, Cobra has seemed to have been transported to his home. Weird things have been happening during the night at his house but never had it gone to that extent to make him relive a past event only making it much worse. His nightmares all together but in something that felt much more real; the Senator, his father, HIS SNAKE! Crimson rushed into the room that he keeps his pet and finds the glass aquarium destroyed. Blood has been splattered all around and underneath it.

Cobra
“It was real.

But The Senator would never have the nerves to stand up to me like that. Face to face like the real man he never could be. He is a man of fear and lies. He is nothing more then you every day poser... I guess a better term for that would be a Senator.

I know that wasn't you John just something for my past trying to bring back bad memories and hoping that I fail along with them as I have in the past. Well History is written so that it won't be repeated. Don't you worry Samuels I will NOT fail again.”

Cobra knew what it was he just never wanted to admit it, after the shooting he thought he had gotten away from the demons. He thought that he had escaped and that he would never have to look back, but now… with all of this happening he knew it to be a fact.
