Michael Kelly · (01-31-2014)

The XWF camera shows Michael Kelly in a gray Tapout shirt and camo pants sitting on a concrete bench against a gray brick wall, presumably the outside of the Apocalyptic Genesis "home" or "compound"

"My name is Michael Kelly. I am a former Private First Class in the United States Army under the counter-terrorism special operations unit known as the "Delta Force". I am now a member of the Apocalyptic Genesis. A lot of people have been contacting me through various means, and they want to know simply...why?"

"There are numerous reasons as to why I went from a normal young adult who decided to serve his country, to what I am now, a weapon of destruction and a follower of Morrison. But it all began with the events that happened in one day of my life. This is a day that will forever be etched into my body and into my soul, why, it was my 24th birthday...."

We flashback to March 27, 2012, in an unknown city in Iraq

"I had just been promoted to Private First Class, a huge honor for someone of my age at the time. As a member of the Delta Force, we were highly trained and prepared to take on any terrorist act or threat. Little did I know however, that the threat would soon come on this day and that I would be the victim."

"I had been called to Room 329 in our top-secret facility; this facility was actually an old Iraqi school. I knew that it was a room that we used to interrogate prisoners or suspects and I had figured that perhaps, they were allowing me to interrogate someone for the first time as a part of my promotion."

"As soon as I walked in the door, I was ambushed. Struck in the back of the head by a pistol! All of the sudden, there were 3 men, MY MEN, pummeling me repeatedly! A couple with their guns, and one of them with his fists and boots. That one man was David Cooper, a Colonel of Delta Force. One of my own commanding officers, and my BROTHERS were assaulting me for no reason!"

Colonel David Cooper: "Fucking maggot. Didn't I teach you better than to just waltz into a room without your guard up!? You little prick!"

"I had no idea why I should have had my guard up when all I had known in that room were friends, were BROTHERS! And now my own BROTHERS were beating me half to death."

Private James Harrell: "What makes you so special, huh? I've been in the Army for 8 years and yet to be promoted, yet you come in and almost straight to First Class? Someone needs to make you earn it, pretty boy!"

Private Tyler Harrington: "Ya, bitch, that silver spoon ain't gonna save you now!"

"I was being assaulted because of my upbringing? For coming in and busting my ass while others slacked off!? What kind of bullshit was this!? What is the matter with these guys!?"

Harrell: "Now, sir?"

Cooper: "Yes, bring him over!"

"I was dazed, I was battered, and it was now I realized that in the corner of a room, there was a waterboard. Something we used for interrogation, something we used for TORTURING people. And my brothers were dragging me toward it!"

"I was soon slammed and restrained to the table; I fought as much as I could, but every attempt at resistance was met with a punch to the face or a butt of a gun to my midsection. It was then that Cooper placed a rag over my face..."

Cooper: "It's time you learned about how we do things around here, son. It's time you earn some respect, that is...if you live to earn it!"

"I could not believe my ears! What the hell was this!? I was not guilty of any crime, I was not a terrorist! I was only human! I was only a soldier!"

"I then heard a sound that is forever stuck in my head, the dripping of water as the privates carried over buckets and once they had carried 5 full buckets toward the table, Cooper picked up the first one, and then...."

Flashback to present day; we see Michael Kelly with his hands in his face and when he removes them, we see absolute anger in his eyes

"What hit me first was the absolute cold. Freezing water crashing into my face, slowly at first, and then faster and faster. The rag getting wetter and wetter and the air getting thinner and thinner. My face freezing to death, my lungs burning and starving for any hint of oxygen, any hint of mercy! I screamed in my mind, begging and pleading for something to save me, to end the pain, to end it all. Nothing came."

Michael stands and looks off into the distance before looking toward the camera once more

"It was on that day I realized that there is no "God". It was on that day I realized just how sick and just how corrupt some people can really be. It was the day that would be the start of a chain reaction in which I realized also just how corrupt the world can be, how corrupt our government, how corrupt our COUNTRY can be! A country built under the words of "One Nation Under God"! Yet, what happened to me was acceptable in the eyes of many!? What would happen afterwards and for quite some time after would be acceptable? All I had ever done was bust my ass. All I had ever done was be human. That wasn't good enough for anyone. That wasn't enough for most of the world."

"One day, I flipped through the channels on my TV and I saw a man talk about how this world is crumbling. How we need to stop falling for the lies, and start living! There is no right or wrong if you are doing what you believe in! This man was Andrew Morrison."

"I contacted Andrew and asked him to meet me. I told him this story. I told him many more stories. Of all the pain and torture I had seen in the Army, all of the corruption happening before my eyes that I was so unaware of until my eyes were opened on that fateful day. I told him of the day that all of the faith I had in anything other than myself, was drowned. He then opened his arms, and told me that the world will pay for its hypocrisy, that the one that they call "God" will fall as he watches what will happen to this world unfold, that all of those fools who have fallen for the ultimate lies will suffer and we will be the tools to that suffering."

"I realized that I had found a place where I belonged. I realize now what my destiny is. I shall fight alongside Andrew. I shall fight alongside Tera. I will show the world what happens when you take someone, when you built them up to tear them down; when you create something that you cannot control and when you throw more wood on the fire that burns within! I will show the world what happens when torture has a face, when torture has a name..MY name is Michael Kelly. I am a member of the Apocalyptic Genesis. I am a soldier of torture, and come Madness, I will show Demon what it means to be tortured. I will show the world what happens when you step into the ring with Michael Kelly."

Michael Kelly folds his arms across his chest as the XWF camera feed ends
