Jonny is standing in front of a massive picture in the DUEW HQ Foyer, covering a wall from top to bottom. He is wearing an old brown poncho, a tattered blue scarf around his neck, all accompanied by faded green trackpants. The picture is of Ballistic, clutching the World Title to his chest. He is on his knees arms raised right over his head, face screwed up in pain and joy, a paradox not lost on Jonny. Above it words are printed.
“The ways to happiness is to be well grounded, to be strong willed and most of all to be honest. Throw in hard work and you have a recipe for a happy life. And success will naturally follow”<br>
Jonny: “I was grounded, strong willed, honest and happy! But where is my success? My name cannot be remembered through the ages! **Shouting** You’re a liar Ballistic, it isn’t true! I can wear a suit, bum clothes or anything but…”
Jonny takes his hands and places them over his face, gouging and scratching, leaving red blots and skin deep wounds. He takes them away and looks upon the hands
Jonny: “More blood on my hands, but this time its my own! Who is my friend who is my enemy? I am my own enemy yet…my own friend**Looks at the Picture** and you? Friend or foe?”<br>
Jonny scrunches his own face up, not in pain or joy but utter confusion. He gets to his knees, the blood on his face, from himself and Julio in his previous match, was now dry.
Jonny: “So it is that my blood, like all things, stiffens and dies off so does my love for all things, except **His Eyes Light Up** THE SEA! That bloody sea that never dries, I must cross it and then…but first, first I will whet my taste, sharpen my blade. Ballistic **Looks back onto the picture** you look so smug now, I will show you…HOW DARE YOU CELEBRATE PAIN! IT IS NOT YOUR PAIN TO BASK IN! WHEN I BRING YOURS THEN WE CAN CELEBRATE TOGETHER! **His voice softens now** Yes and Disturbed can come, and Nicho and even Julio and Hare and we can do it in “Thin lizzys”…But first I will hurt you make you have pain that you and only you can celebrate! Yes, Yes, Yes, What a gift I shall give him today”<br>
Jonny rubs his hands together and walks out of the foyer, heading to the arena. On the way he says
“My gift of pain is the greatest he can get”.
