{Erik Dark stands outside the arena in New York, staring at the lighted sign. Wearing his usual LSW shirt and black pants, in the passing months, he's grown a goatee. He rubs his chin in thought.}
Dark: Opening ceremonies for the KWC...I think I might just make an appearence.
{Erik slaps his hands together and heads towards the back entrance. He waves at the security guard who looks surpriesed, but lets him through. Erik heads through the back, stopping a KWC employee with a headset.}
Dark: A little "Living on the Edge", if you would.
Employee: Right. Two minutes, X is almost done.
Dark: Gotcha.
{Erik heads toward the entrance to the ring, and waits for his chance. Erik hears a smattering of boos, then sees X walk through the curtains. He gives Erik a weird smile, then continues on his way.}
Dark: Don't think I'll ever understand that guy.
Employee: Ready?
Dark: Let's do this.
Employee: Cue lights. Cue music. Go Erik!
{Erik walks through the curtain into the darkness of the arena. He stands at the top of the ramp as the spotlight shines down on him. Erik throws up his arm, igniting the crowd. Cheers rain down from everywhere, and Erik can only grin. He heads down the ramp, slapping fives with fans. He circles the ring before sliding in. He climbs the far turnbuckle and brings the lights back when throws his arms up, the crowd cheering even louder. He leaps down and grabs a mike, letting the crowd quiet before speaking.}
Dark: How y'all doin'!?!
{The crowd responds with a roar. Erik grins.}
Dark: Always loved that. As I'm sure you're aware of now, I am a part of the KWC, and very proud of it. Vengeance is a friend of mine, and I certainly couldn't pass up the chance to help him out. Plus, I kinda miss wrestling, what with the DWF in limbo and all that. But that's neither here nor there. What is important right now is what I'm gonna do here. And simply put, that's become the KWC Heavyweight champion!
{The crowd cheers at the thought of Erik Dark as champ.}
Dark: It won't be easy. There's quite a crew of DWF vets who I know are just as hungry for the big title. And, of course, others from different backgrounds. But I got something that none of them have. That's right, I have each and every one of you backing me up. And as long as I have that, I can't lose.
{The crowd explodes, knowing Erik means what he says.}
Dark: So all I have to say, to all of you in the back. Bring it! You won't beat the Darkman!
{The crowd roars again as Erik slams down the mike and throws up his arms. Erik climbs the turnbuckle and beats his chest, feeding on the crowd. Leaping straight to the floor, eliciting even more cheers, Erik heads to the back. Stepping behind the curtain, Erik pauses for a moment, to grin.}
Dark: Its been much too long. Heh, well, I better get ready to head home. Only have a week to train before the first show.
{Erik cracks his knuckles and heads off as the camera fades out.}
