We see Dan Savage walking down a hallway. He's in his ring gear. Savage has just finished his warm-ups and he is looking for Psycho. As he walks down the hallway he passes some crew workers who give him weird looks, no doubt in response to Savage’s often erratic behavior. About another minute passes as Savage continues down the corridor; he comes out into a large open area. Tables with catering are lined up in the backside of the room. Some referees and crew workers are hanging out. Some take notice to Savage then return to their conversations. Ahead of himself Savage sees Psycho walking away. Quickly Savage runs and he grabs Psycho on the shoulder. He turns around to see Savage.
Dan Savage: “Whoa man it’s me, Dan. Look, we’re tag partners tonight, and I don’t really know you, and you don’t know me. But tonight man let’s team up and win our POW debuts. Between the two of us man, I think we can really make an impact… and to be honest I can’t think of a better way to prove ourselves by winning our own debut. Whadda say?”
Psycho stares blankly at Savage. Suddenly Savage’s demeanor swiftly changes and he moves in closer to Psycho.
:::Aggression::: “Listen to me though Psycho, if so much as get our my way we will not hesitate to take you out too. Psycho if you ruin this for us than we personally will make your life a living hell. Because nobody and we mean nobody gets away with hindering our progression and our rise top. We will not see friend or foe; we will take out anybody that stands in our way.”
Savage gets a hold of himself and realizes what he or rather, his Aggression said to Psycho. Psycho looks pissed, as if he were ready to punch Dan Savage in the face right here and now. His jaw drops and once more the look in his face changes.
:::Regret::: “We apologize, we- we didn’t mean that as a threat. What we meant was Psycho; don’t do anything stupid out there. We don’t want to lose our debut, and we know you don’t either. Really, we can’t speak for you, but we know you agree. Tonight, let’s just go out there and give it our best. Tonight, let’s go out there and beat The Order; let’s forget any differences we may have, and beat the hell out of Shadow and Hellfire.”
Psycho’s facial expression turns to a look of sheer confusion and amazement. Savage lets out a long sigh and pats Psycho on the shoulder as he walks by. Psycho turns around and watches Savage continue down the hall, then walks off in the other direction. After walking for about a minute Savage ducks into an empty room. He double checks to make sure nobody is there. His suspicions are correct, the room is vacant.
Dan Savage: “I’m not you can’t you understand? I’m not ruthless or aggressive, but compassionate and headstrong. You will not speak for me, you will be tamed and so as I say. I can survive without you, get out of my head. Voices, apparitions of my soul, leave me be!”
Once more Savage’s look changes, Aggression is overtaking him once more.
:::Aggression::: “Live without us? No, you need us, and we need you. We are here because of your own actions, all of us. Until you learn to control yourself…you will never be normal! You’ll be a freak, everyone knows it. So take out your anger on them, you know you want to.”
Dan Savage: “I want to, but I won’t, it’s not right!”
Another one of Dan’s emotions joins the conversation, adding heat to the argument.
:::Passion::: “It’s not right? We just say what you’re afraid to say. We do what you’re afraid to do! You had thoughts, but you wouldn’t convey them to Psycho, so Aggression did it for you. You needn’t worry, whatever you can’t, but want to say, we will. We will bring ourselves success, the success you crave, the success you need. Sit back and enjoy the ride, because we’re in control!”
:::Aggression::: “You know it to be true. As always Passion is right, you cannot hide your feelings for us, because we are they and they are us. Come on, use us and make everyone pay!”
:::Reason::: “Disregard their voices. Granted, some of what they say is true, but those two are weak. I am the best friend you have, so ask yourself, and are they right? Did Aggression tell Psycho everything you wanted to? Think about it, why fight them when you wanted their aid all along?”
:::Pride::: “You don’t have to answer, he’s not always right! You know what you wanted, that’s enough, why should they need to know. Be a man and give into your hate, no reason to communicate! Psycho knows you’re the best, so how about you show him who’s boss?”
Dan Savage begins to look physically worn from his inner conflict. Hopefully, nobody has heard him arguing with, well himself. Suddenly, it’s as if two emotions have taken over at once,
::;Aggression::: “So how about you wipe the smile off their faces?
:::Rage::: “Show them who’s boss, put ‘em in their places!”
:::Aggression::: “We don’t need to care, show them who’s boss!”
:::Rage::: “What’s the perfect way to get your message across?”
:::Pride::: “Give into hate, it’s easy really! After all, you said it yourself. Neither friend nor foe will hinder us.”
:::Reason::: “What’s it going to be? Listen and go against your own will, or fight back and be strong?”
Dan Savage: “I DON’T KNOW!!!!!!!”
After Dan screams those words the inner conflict in himself seems to subside. Sweat his beating down his forehead and his breath is heavy. As he begins to relax it dawns on him that he had another episode. He rushes over to the door and checks the hallway. Empty, nobody should have heard him. Savage closes the door and looks around the room. A mirror is on the wall and he looks into it. After a long sigh Dan begins to answer Reason’s question.
Dan Savage: “I’ll prove to them all, I’m the best. I will beat down anyone who gets in my way. But…but I will try to be honest. I will abide to sportsmanship, and be a man of honor. My own aggression will be let out, but it will remain contained unless someone gets in my way. It might be Psycho, but I hope not, after all…. I need all the friends I can get.”
Savage lowers his head slowly and lets out a long sigh.
