Armed to the teeth with rocket launchers, nunchuks, mohawks, tattoos and leather vests, the street thugs closed a circle around the elderly man. Smiling evil smiles, they prepared to completely anihilate the kindly old fellow.
"Say yer last words, old man!"

"Yeah, pops...watchou gonna do...whimper for us....?"

"Or beg....? Huh....?"

Suddenly, with a single flex of his awesome jungle-bred muscles, the White Lion's disguise ripped apart...and he unleashed an ear-splitting, glass-break, soul-shaking, heart-rending....ROAR! The gang flees before the fury of the Lion Hero, who bounds after them...but ultimately lets them go, constrained as he is by the true code of the jungle...which values mercy and forgiveness above all else! Nonetheless...the White Lion is troubled...troubled to the core of his soul over the misguided, drug-abusing youth...who seem to have no idea about the Lion Hero that lives inside of them...who do not realize that there are people that believe in them!

The White Lion could defeat such youth...and send them away to prison...and perhaps, in some small, infintessimal way...society would be safer...and yet...he wondered...was there a way to reach them? Was there a way...to make those youths unlock their dormant inner-lion heroes...? To unleash their sleeping, untapped rumbling potentialities in a volcanic, explosive geiser of self-actualization!

In that moment, his beast's brain lit up with an idea to awesome to ignore...a concept that was daring...crazy...and yet...JUST CRAZY ENOUGH...THAT IT MIGHT WORK.

LATER...AT POSITIVE POWER RECORDS....

Max Mogul: White Lion...what you're saying...its crazy...I mean, you really, honestly think that...I mean...the dude's a hardcore drinker, a punk-rocker that's always throwing around obscenities in his music...and paranoid as heck to boot!

White Lion: Max Mogul...right now, Chris MacBeth is held in the grip of an alcohol ankle lock...pinned beneath his paranoia...but he's not going to tap out to the first hold...and he's going to kick out of the second! The White Lion can see the savage superheroics in his eyes...the White Lion sees the energy that Chris MacBeth can bring....he's in a deep, dark dungeon of the soul...but when he steps in that ring with the Lion Hero and the Slick One...he's going to find himself travelling into the lowest level of that dungeon...he's going to fight through goblins...orcs...trolls...and finally...he's going to find a key...a golden key...and just as the Slick One levels him with a spear...just as Chris MacBeth looks up at the lights...in anger and apathy...

It will...begin. The agonizing battle...the arduous dungeon crawl...to bring the best in him...from the pit of his personality...to the fore of his mind!

You see...bad attitudes, negativity...is not going to get you anywhere...when you're in the ring with the Lion Hero and the Slick One...when you're teamed up with the surviving soldier, AJ Powell....when you need to show the crowd...that you belong in the ring...when you need to put on a performance of the ages...then Chris MacBeth will realize the power of positive thinking...and then....rising from the ashes of the ring...when the smoke clears...when another amazing match is in the history books...

...a phoenix shall fly up from the ring...the Lion and the Slick superman will look on in wonder...Powell, in pride...as they finally see and know...and understand...

....the children...will have found...the next...major...musical icon...the power of punk rock...the energy of paranoia...but purefied into 100% positivity! And this MacBeth...the MacBeth of the millenium...will have beaten the bottle...and walked away with hardwon wisdom...wisdom he will share! In his songs, in his words...in the speeches he's going to make in high school auditoriums all over the world...hope will spring eternal from every fiber of his body...

He can do it...I know he can...the White Lion believes in Chris MacBeth! He's going to drown the drunk inside of him...he's going to pound away his paranoia...he's going to sign with you Max Mogul...he's going to sing to the kids...and he's going to...

....he's going to....ROAR! WITH! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
