Kitt Kennedy · (09-28-2016)

(The scene opens in the darkened study of the Kennedy mansion. Kitt is seen leaned back in his leather desk chair, his empty whiskey glass and tv remote on the desk while Kitt is soundly sleeping. Plastered across the flat screen is a Michael McBride match and between the television and the fireplace they provide the only light into the room. The study door opens slightly, the light from the hallway piercing the dark room and Alex pops her head in. She sees Kitt sleeping and smiles. She slips into the room quietly and carefully closes the door. She slowly makes her way across the hard wood, her bare feet allowing her to slip along quietly. She stands next to Kitt and smooths her short silk robe before slipping onto his lap and laying her head on his chest. This awakens Kitt with a little jolt and he realizes it’s Alex.)

Kitt: Hey you.

Alex: Hey you too. You fell asleep.

(Kitt looks up at the flat screen then grabs the remote off the desk, switching it off.)

Kitt: You don’t realize how boring a McBride match really is do you?

(They both have a little laugh.)

Alex: Well I know that he will at least have one exciting match….well, for the fans and you, not so much him since you are going to beat the hell out of him.

Kitt: That, my beautiful lady, is a fact. Are you ready to make our trip?

Alex: (smiles) Lead the way.

(Kitt smiles and kisses Alex. She stands up and reaches for his hand. Kitt takes her hand and stands up. The couple walks out of the study and to the bedroom to get dressed.)

***SCENE CHANGE***

(The scene opens in a darkened arena, the only light is a spotlight shining down on an empty XWF ring. It’s the UL Sport Arena, the venue for this Wednesday Night Warfare. The seats are all empty and the arena is completely silent. The camera pans around to see the announcer’s and timekeeper’s table are set up in the shadows cast from the spotlight when the silence is broken by a voice from the darkness.)

Kitt: Ireland….isn’t this where it all started for you McBride? Your ancestry…your lineage…the home of your people. I bet they are all behind you and are so excited to see their country’s son coming home to perform for the masses. They are all going to have their little Michael McBride signs and buy your merchandise, hoping maybe they can have you slap your sloppy little signature on it with a little thumbs up. They may even be hoping to capture a Kodak moment with you to put in their little book of memories. (chuckles) You should tell them not to waste their time, tell them to get their money back because this isn’t going to be a celebratory homecoming….this is going to be a homecoming of pain and sorrow.

(A silhouette of Kitt can be seen slowly walking down the steps of seating area of the arena leading down to ringside.)

Kitt: You’re an Irishman, correct McBride? So you know what types of monsters your people believe in. The monsters that send chills down their spines and keep them awake at night….the monsters that come to destroy what they have set their sights on. Much like you, McBride. I have set my sights on you and I am out to do one thing and one thing only….destroy you as quickly and painfully as possible. I read up on your culture Michael and there is one creature that stands out, one that epitomizes my quest to eliminate you….have you ever heard of….

(The Kitt makes it to ringside and jumps up on the apron, partially thrusting his face into the light casting eerie shadows across it, making his eyes appear black and sullen.)

Kitt: ….the Dullahan!? The Dullahan, the headless horseman of Ireland, comes riding after thoses that are doomed to die. Once you are a marked man, there is nothing that can be done but accept the consequences. Once their name is called they perish immediately…poof…done. Just like the Dullahan, I’ve come here to rid the world of you! I’ve travelled a great distance and now I’m calling your name Michael! There is no running….no hiding….no escaping your fate.

(Kitt steps between the ropes and slowly walks to the middle of the ring.)

Kitt: You see Michael, you are a victim of circumstance. I know you never wanted to ever have to step in the ring with me, I don’t blame you a bit for that. I’m on a meteoric rise to the top of the XWF and no one is going to step in my way….those that do….they fall by the wayside. You see McBride, I’m on my way to doing great things. This Saturday night, I become the new XWF Savage Champion. I get my first taste of XWF gold…but first I have to make a pitstop to dispatch of you. You are nothing but a pothole that I have to roll over on my way to cementing my legacy here….a minor detail in my grand scheme of things.

(Alex enters the ring and walks over to Kitt and wraps her arms around him. Kitt smiles at her and puts his arm around her.)

Kitt: Tick tock, Michael. Your time is slowly coming up and then you will realize that I am exactly who I say I am, I’m the real deal. After tomorrow night….(slowly looks up and points to the ceiling)…when you are on your back, looking up at the rafters, (looking back at the camera) there one name that you will never…..ever….forget. That name is….

(Kitt points to the large screen above the ramp as Alex hits a button on a small remote she has in her hand. The screen comes to life with a giant picture of Kitt Kennedy and “KENNEDY!” boldly posted at the bottom of the picture.)

Kitt: ….Kennedy!!!

(Kitt takes the remote from Alex’s hand and walks closer towards the camera.)

Kitt: But for now….enjoy your precious last moments before you step into the ring with me. Come tomorrow night, I’m going to give your people a real superstar they can look up to….a man they can be proud to cheer for….a true champion. Prove….me….wrong….tomorrow night….I give them the Highlight of the Night….as for you….tomorrow night….

(Kitt steps back and puts his arm around Alex and both stare into the camera smiling.)

Kitt: ….your career goes….

(Kitt quickly raises the remote in the air and hits a button. The power to the spotlight and the screen is cut, plunging the entire arena into darkness.)

Kitt: ….”Lights….Out”!!!

(Kitt and Alex can be heard laughing in the darkness as the camera fades completely out.)
