baxter and stax in the lockers

[Chris Baxter]

*camera opens in Baxter and Stax in the locker room stax is in the corner holding his journal, his hand is shaking as he writes and mutters to himself*

 

He still hauntes me day to day. i hear his voice every time i close my eyes. i dont know how long i can repress him anymore. Chris tries his best to keep him at bay.. but the light he gives cant reach the bottom of the hole Akumu has in my soul

 

*Baxter looks at stax from around the corner, his face is covered in shaving cream, he looks conserned at Stax*

 

Baxter: You ok man..your shaking.. im getting really woried about you..

 

Stax: *breathing heavily* yeah.. im.. im ok. But hows your ass .. D-jack sure had his way with you

 

Baxter: *laughs* yeah.. he sure did.. hurt like hell too..you sure your alright?

 

Stax: yeah, im fine. just some things going though my head.

 

*Baxter goes around the corner*

 

*Stax continues to mutter and write*

 

His kind heart is in the right place.. but i fear his cause is lost..

 

*Stax continues to write in his journal; his writing is getting more violent.

 

You can not escape me no matter how hard you try Stax.. i am always here. you can never escape youself; and you can never escape me. for i am you.. all the pain you;ve suffered, sleeping dormant inside you. I was created from those feelings and soon, I will cast everything you hold dear aside. and you will experiane a TRUE Knightmare

 

Stax: GET OUT OF MY HEAD

 

*Stax punchs the nearby wall and puts a hole in it. he looks at his bloody knuckles*

 

*Baxter runs back to check on him.. his beard is half shaven off*

 

Baxter: Seriously man.. what is going on.. i hate seing you do this to yourself. you keep distancing youself fro me.. your family.. and your kids. they have to hear about you from me.. how do you think they feel when they cant even reach their own father anymore.

 

Stax: I'm fine man.. thanks for all your doing for me man, but why me man, there are so more deserving people.. and your putting away your pirate gear; why all this for me.

 

Baxter: Because your my friend man, besides who else would. and where were you last week, i was watching at home and this Akuma guy was in your match instead..

 

*Stax mutters under his breath* Thankfully he still has no idea

 

Baxter: what??.. anyways..i got to finish shaving this thing off

 

*Baxter goes back to shaving his beard around the corner*

 

*Stax coninues to mutter and write*

 

I dont deserve a friend like him at times.. so innocent and care free.. a true friend to the end..

 

It's a shame too.. to destroy such a kind man.. but i can help you stax.. i can bring you to the top.. but you need to lose everything first.. including him, he is what will hold you back.. only I can set you free, only I can give you power.. and only I can do that.. if you just give in.. you are only delaying the inevitable stax .. let me consume you

 

Stax: Never.. i will never let you hurt anyone..

 

Baxter comes from around the corner, his beard is shaven, wearing a bandana under his hair now.. he is in jeans and a rated arrr superstar t-shirt*

 

Baxter: So.. How do i look?

 

Stax: Just great man..

 

Baxter: Since we're going to be a tag team.. we might as well fit the part right?

 

Stax: yeah.. stay safe man...

 

Baxter: you too..

 

*Baxter walks out of the locker room and leaves Stax alone with his thoughts; his hand is still bleeding slightly, he dabs his finger in the blood and drags the blood across the bottom of the page*

 

*Stax's Eyes widen in fear as where he draged the blood, letters start to appear.. as if all along someone knew this was going to happen*

 

Let The True Knightmare Begin
