Those who weigh victory engage their people in battle just as if they had released the floodgates on an extrmemly deep gorge -- that is control. ~Sun Tzu -[ The lights flash outside of the Joe Louis Arena in the heart of Detroit. The marquee scrolls non-stop with the words: "Worldwide Online Wrestling presents Malice -- SOLD OUT!!". The camera then cuts to inside of the arena where B-Pac is seen sitting in the front row of the completely empty arena. ]- B-Pac: "I despise this place, this city, this state, this world. But that doesn't change the past... it is only a reflection of it. Many may not remember the events that forced my hatred upon this very place... but to me, it is forever burnt into my brain. This title around my waist is even a piece of nostalgia from the tragic event that took place in this arena not too long ago. This arena housed the darkest day of my lifetime... and I know by now you are all wondering what event that was... "  -[ As B-Pac slides his shades down a little and looks to the screen beside the WoWtron, flashbacks are shown of the last time he was here in this very arena... The day was February 25, 2002... a little over 3 months ago. His opponent was Selena and B-Pac was looking to add yet another title defense against her. It did not happen. ]- Michael D - "Well then, next on agenda...time for the IC title match tonight, Hank." Hank - "This isnt just for the title, this is for pride I believe, Michael." "Mother" blasts on the PA system as Selena comes marching down the WoWtron with a determined look on her face. As she enters the ring, she stands there calmly awaiting her opponent. Hank- "This one could get really ugly, Michael. They should have applied brutality rules." Michael D.- "Indeed, Hank. These two competitors are bent on seeing each other in pain." "Pay Back" by Flaw erupts in the arena as B-Pac appears at the top of the ramp staring down at Selena. He stands there for a few moments before holding his title in the air as fireworks and pyro shoot out through the arena. Selena looks around her as a light in the shape of a blue dragon circles her. Hank- "It's too bad they hate each other now. They were the cutest couple." B-Pac makes his way down the ramp and into the ring. He stands face to face with Selena as the crowd grows quiet. A few words are exchanged and Selena slaps B-Pac dead in the face. In a situation where he would normally retalliate with a punch, he takes a step back. B-Pac takes a few deep breaths before spitting at Selena's feet. The crowd lets out a loud and deep "Ooooh" as Selena grows red in the face with anger. The two then lock up with Selena tripping up B-Pac and slinging him on his back to the mat. Michael D - "Looks like she couldnt wait to get him on his back, Hank. Lucky guy!" Hank - "Your incourageable Michael." Selena kneels down and starts to punch at B-Pac a couple of times before he grabs her by her hair and flings her across the ring. B-Pac gets back to his feet as the ref warns him. B-Pac shrugs it off as he goes towards Selena as he goes to grab her she punches him in the gut causing B-Pac to stumble. B-Pac goes back in again as Selena goes for a low blow dropping B-Pac to his knees. The ref warning her all the same. Selena runs and jumps on the top turn buckle as she comes flying off with a dropkick to the back of B-Pac's head as she goes for a cover. 1....2. kick out by B-Pac. Selena mounts B-Pac as she starts to punch on B-Pac over and over. Michael D - "Just for this match alone, B-Pac is now my hero. GO B-PAC!" Selena stops for a moment to yell something at B-Pac only to be thrown off her by him. Selena stumbles to her feet a bit as B-Pac runs at Selena as he spear her down to the mat going for a cover. 1.....2...kick out by Selena. B-Pac picks Selena back up as he irish whips her into the ropes. Coming back toward B-Pac, she ducks an attempted clothesline, bounces off the ropes only to be nailed by a boot to the face. Selena literally bounces off the mat as B-Pac grabs Selena and does a stalling brainbuster holding her up for what seems like eternity as he drops her down hard. B-Pac makes a cover. 1.....2.....kick out by Selena. Hank - "Selena kicked out? Shes determined isnt she!" B-Pac hits the mat as he begins to pick Selena up again, who low blows B-Pac with a knee to the groin. The ref warns her again as she just yells at him before continuing her beating on B-Pac. Selena runs and bounces off the ropes and dropkicks a kneeling B-Pac sending him to the mat. She then gets onto the top ropes and does a Swanton Bomb onto B-Pac. She goes for a quick cover. 1.....2....kick out. Hank - "There's just something about these two when they lock up in a match...it's magic!" Selena picks B-Pac up and tosses him into the corner where she jumps in with gymnastics back springs and an elbow, but B-Pac catches her in the air and face plants her to the mat. He goes for a cover...1....2....shoulder up by Selena. B-Pac signals for the "Seventh Sign" while sweating profusly. He grabs Selena and brings her high into the air but at the last second, Selena wriggles free and slips behind B-Pac and rolls him up into a pin....1....2....3!!!! The bell rings as "Mother" by Danzig plays and the ref awards the championship to Selena! Hank - "What a smart move by Selena!! She has beaten B-Pac! What a match!!" Michael D - "Hats off to B-pac...he's had a great run there. I think the fans are the biggest winners out of this match." B-pac sits up shocked at how Selena surprised him. The referee hands Selena the title belt but B-pac snatches it from his hands. He stares at the title belt and then at Selena. After a few moments he hands her the IC title belt and raises her hand in the air. The two then embrace in the ring as the fans cheer. -[ On that dreary, cold February night not so long ago, B-Pac lost his Intercontinental title. The very same title that he has around his waist now. Even with all of the hurt and anger evoked by these memories, B-Pac shows no emotion on his face. B-Pac simply stares back into the camera for what seems like an eternity until someone in the background calls out his name. B-Pac quickly yanks the shades from his face and turns around... B-Pac is now standing face to face... with SELENA!! ]- Selena: " B?... Wow... You have changed. Why won't you speak to me anymore? I have made run-ins on your matches to make sure you don't get cheated out of what is yours... but you constantly give me the cold shoulder... " B-Pac: " The cold shoulder? Have you already forgotten what I said to you after the conclusion of our match in THIS VERY ARENA? The fans were overjoyed afterwards when we embraced and I handed you the Intercontinental title because they thought that finally everything was okay... what they didn't know was what I whispered to you during our embrace. "It is done. I leave you; not as your friend, and not as your enemy... but as someone whom is erased from your past." "Does that ring a bell, Selena? I meant what I said... I won't take it back. I am a man of my word. " Selena: " Yes, it brings back memories. But I have gotten over those memories now... we all have to move on. That was a long time ago, B, and we are both very different now. You know, you broke my heart... and I swore that I would never forgive you for that. But I did... and I'm ready to continue on with our friendship. There is no reason not to. " B-Pac: " No reason not to? Well, here's a reason for you: I refuse to let anyone near me again. Friendship, love... the end result is always pain... always bitterness. Well, I've had too much bitterness in my life... so much as to say that I no longer suffer from pain... I HAVE BECOME IT! " Selena: " I don't understand... B, please don't do this. " B-Pac: " There is no room for us in each other's life. I suggest you get over it, and leave right away before I grow tired of this. " Selena: " Before what? You grow tired of this? You know what, I think I am already tired of this!" " -[ As anger grows in her eyes, Selena rears her hand back and smacks B-Pac right in the face. B-Pac holds his head to the side for a few seconds before staring right back into Selena's eyes with a "death stare" of sorts. He then burst out laughing... only his laughter seems to echo from inside of him. Selena look at B-Pac in confusion as B-Pac puts his shades back on his face and shoves Selena down into one of the empty seats. With his eyes widened and his breathing becoming heavy, B-Pac speaks. ]- B-Pac: " Don't you EVER do that again, do you understand me?! EVER! " -[ As Selena sits up in the chair with a look of anger mixed with sadness, B-Pac turns and walks away. The camera fades... to... black. ]-
