An Inconvenient Truth from Another Side

[rickystanton]

"Well now, look at you. You've finally done it. You've finally pissed the entire world off," a female voice says. "And to make matters worse. You created this entire scenario and didn't even realize it because in your arrogance, the late nights at the Rabbit, the drunken moments in your office late nights as you banged your secretary out to oblivion and then fired her, you never, ever, thought for a second that the people you disregarded would be smart enough to pull this shit off. This is very unStanton of you...father..."



The clicks of heels can be heard in the room, along with oxygen being breathed through a mask over the head of none other than "Pretty" Ricky Stanton.



"And it's in this moment I have to ask you again, was it all worth it...Was it worth throwing Brianna in front of you last year as she faced off against your ex Sykobitty? Doesn't matter she found you out nonetheless. But you know what's the tip of these triangle? Justice Cross. Man, I watched through your eyes how you did her. Though she did turn on you first, but man, you ran that homely bitch right out of One Wrestle."



Ricky tries to see who it is, but there's too much rushing around happening. He can hear noises of people yelling and such, but cannot separate the two. He gasps every three or four breaths.



"And then there's BRAAADDDOOCKKK..," the woman says with a laugh. "You met him through disrespecting him at Upstart and you actually disregarded im at One Wrestle. And let's not forget that confusing little bitch known as Brianna. She doesn't know if she's left or right, up or down, and you had her at OUR TRAINING FACILITY. Pathetic....even when I was around THAT would have never happened.Ohhh waiiiittt before that there was Bianca Davis. You and her, indeed a Tragic Kingdom. She never got what you were putting down. She lives blissfully in her own world. And now that world she has been creating collided with yours. What did you THINK she was going to do as she watched you take the Glory Championhip for yourself and NEVER even get her a title shot? You gave it to a dirty creature with nails. She's the dumbest Glory Champion ever and you won't even admit it. Like everything, you just figure it's gonna work out...



And in the end, you knew who came the closest to exposing the fact that you created all these Demons? Dumb ass Travis. A man who doesn't even realize that his father RAN OVER the man known today as Richard Osiris! Richard would have never crossed paths with you IF that drunken idiot didn't get behind the wheel. Oh and to make matters worse, as he laid on the side of the road after being hit once, YOU hit his car, already mangled, which flipped over him causing more damage to his face and you thought YOU hit him cause you were so FUCKING DRUNK. He should kill both of you. But money changes things eh?"



Ricky's eyes flutter open slightly to make out a figure sitting on his bed smoking. Doctors rush around and Nurses are coming in an out of focus.



"What makes this so poetic the moment you were ready to finally grasp an end to your story with Q, you know, that "other one" you had at Stanton Manor the lights went out on it. And you were taken down by the very demons you created....and THEN, THEN when you thought you were getting a hold of that fire, ANOTHER SPROUTED UP and you didn't see that coming either.



And now you have a swelling on the brain from all the blows to the head. They say it's a concussion possibly...I think you're dying, but I think you're too evil of a man to die. And even then I probably won't see you...Do you see me yet? No? It's ok. So Imma tell you why you're here."


And with a snap of her finger he's laying on the mat at One Wrestle Legendary Jan. 31:

BRADDOCK and his partner, Cory Chevelle, have ambushed Ricky Stanton and Aleki Kekoa with chairs and have knocked both men to the mat. Chevelle lays into Aleki with a chair, and stands over him shouting “WHAT GOD!!”



Meanwhile, BRADDOCK has straddled Ricky's chest and is reigning down right hands to Ricky's forehead. Braddock gets up and pulls Ricky up with him. A dazed Ricky Stanton swings wild and BRADDOCK counters by whipping him to the ropes and on the rebound, lifts him and tosses him up in the air. Chevelle grabs him on the descent and drives his head into the mat.



Taj: KO by Gravity!



Stanton is left in a heap and BRADDOCK takes this moment to plug his right nostril with his thumb and blow his nose on Ricky. The arena is thunderous with boos as the two fist bump and observe the carnage in the ring. The group as a whole stand in the middle of the ring basking in their wanton act of violence.

"Oh, and then there's this...."



Snaps her fingers again and he's laid out on the mat at the recent Glory show.

Ricky has a cold look on his face as he looks over at his downed opponents when he notices that Jacob is fixing him with a very cold looking smile that turns slightly smug of all sudden.



K: Wait, why is he smiling about?!



Suddenly the two men with mirror ball masks that have been following Jake suddenly hit the ring! They hit stereo superkicks right into Ricky's face before they do the same to Rowena. One of them slowly arches his head over to look over at Ricky who is starting to get back up to his feet. The two men quickly go over and hoist him up before they quickly drop him with an assisted swinging neckbreaker.



G: What the hell are those two guys doing?!



K: Making Ricky more money in fines alone I think, because this seems to have been a planned attack.



The crowds at ringside don't know if they should be cheering or booing when the two men look at each other. Jacob simply nods in approval before the shorter of the two men reaches up and slowly removes his mask to reveal a face that gets a large pop from the fans. When the other man removes his mask as well, the pop gets even bigger as Jake is handed a mic.



Jacob Striker: You wanna boast and brag about how you brought a little bird to Cedric's company, Ricky...hmm? Well, I brought him and this company a fucking *DYNASTY*!!



Jake hands the mic over to the dark haired man.



Man: Mister Stanton, my name is David Slayton and this tall, glowering example of brutality is my younger brother Patrick. We are known internationally as the Dynasty and before you ask, you little toad suck, we're not for sale. Be seeing you!



David then tosses the mic onto Ricky's chest before the three men leave the ring to Motionless in White's cover of "Du Hast".

"Yeah, that was bad too...too many blows to the head within weeks. Body wasn't meant for that. And now you lay here in everything you've done. All the malice, the pain, the betrayal, the hate. It has all come falling down. What will you ever do? All I do know is that if you are the Stanton that I know you are, you're going to deal with this. There is a way, but it's one that will make you break all your rules. It's gonna carry you back to the beginning of One Wrestle...when it was just you and Eric, working to get a promotion off the ground via the Stanton Network...you know, when you were running all those TV shows and the money was flowing? You've gotta reset....or....OORRRRR you wake up and continue down this Hell...but what I do know is...I'll be watching you. Because through all of this, all that you've created, I know there's a man in there that wants to be normal regardless of your nature."



Leans over into Stanton's ear

 

"We know their hearts are not dark enough. They're not smart enough. They are just blunt objects being swung around. Do us all a favor...duck next time. But until then... I need you to get up.....



...GET...UP.....



GET UP DAD!!!!!!



A gasp leaves the mouth of Ricky Stanton as Doctors hold him down as the heart monitor goes wild! Nurses come in to sedate him as he looks around the room. "MR STANTON!!!! WELCOME BACK BUT YOU HAVE TO RELAX!!! YOU HAD A SERIOUS HEAD INJURY!!!!" Ricky's chest contracts hard as he looks around still and eventually falls back to sleep.



6 HOURS LATER



"There he goes," a woman's voice says. "You scared us there for a moment."



Ricky opens his eyes to a very pretty nurse smiling back at him. "We're gonna get you something to eat ok? You are stablized. The swelling is down and they think you'll be cleared in a few days. That wrestling stuff is dangerous, but it's an honor to meet it's bad guy."



She smiles and leaves.



Ricky looks around the hospital room and sees heel marks on the floor.



"What the..."



The nurse returns with food. "Was there a young lady in here well dressed at any time?" he asks.



"Nope. You were guarded heavily and it's just been us doctors and nurses. Here you go, and I'll be back later to check on you. Watch some TV..."



She leaves, and Ricky takes a selfie to confirm the swelling has gone down. He snaps on of her as well....
