RE: Light This Match, B**ch
(CUE UP: "Starshine" by Gorillaz)
(FADEIN: Diablo is seated in his dimly lit Spanish Harlem apartment. Diablo is wearing essentially the same thing he was in his last promo, only now he has a white tank top. He is seated on his tattered couch cross-legged, his brow furrowed in contemplation.)
Diablo: As I tried to discern any meaning from that garbled mess of sounds and words that you have presented me, I did manage to figure out one particular thing you tried to convey to me, aside from the typical "red-ass beat-down" banter. You actually thought that I was envious of you. You actually are of such a simple mind that you would assume I would actually be covet a life so material and unfulfilling? You think I would envy you because "the ladies love Luster"? If it was of any use, I would pity you, but frankly, you are beyond pity.
(Diablo stands up from his couch, and he stands completely still, the camera silently observing his sillhouetted form from the side.)
Diablo: Luster, I gave up on love a long time ago. Physical, emotional, any kind. I gave up because wherever, whenever, whomever I went to looking for love, it was denied. Luster, I was abandoned! I was left on the curb by my parents at the age of 9, no explanation, NONE WHATSOEVER! Just left. You think something like that would mess up a child's perception of LOVE, wouldn't it? If my PARENTS had simply left me, where was I supposed to go for succour, for comfort, for...love? Luster, you think you have the good life, up to your knees in women who are willing to give you their bodies, but not their minds or souls, so called "love", but did you ever think what would happen if one day, it was ALL STRIPPED AWAY? What if Luster was left on a curb and abandoned, all the ladies no longer loved him, no more places to drop his package. This is where...UNH!
(Diablo suddenly collapses to one knee, groaning as if straining against something. He stands up again, perfectly fine, but his face is again twisted into that awful sneer, and his bandana has fallen off. His voice has changed again, as it had before.)
Diablo: ...THIS...is where the darkness came in...
(Diablo turns so that he is facing the camera full on, and brushes the hair out of his eyes.)
Diablo: Soon I learned that there was no such thing as true love, not for me, not for you, it is simply an illusion created by the human psyche to shield itself from the true nature of this world, the true nature of man kind. The world is filled with pain, with desolation, with HATRED, with STRIFE, with ANGER! The darkness inside me is the embodiement of all these produced by the atrocities of mankind...when I was robbed of what may have been love...all that was left was the darkness to come...and consume me...and now it feeds...it LIVES OF MORE PAIN, MORE SUFFERING, MORE ANGER! And where better to find pain, suffering, anger...than wrestling? You, Luster, you may think you have love, but welling deep within you is the truth, that you are merely a shell, and it is only a facade for all the agony, fear, horror that lies withing every man. In the ring, facing me...you will find NO LOVE WHATSOEVER, only pain, only fear, only desolation, only anger, only HORROR! Only...the darkness. When the darkness must feed, nothing can stop it. The darkness will consume you as it has consumed me, Luster! You must realize its inevitability. I will show you the truth, I will show you the darkness, and the Luster will shine no more! Diablo Fuego rages...and I will PUT MY EVIL INSIDE YOU! ...GYAAAH!
(Diablo again collapses, and falls on the floor in a fetal position. He holds himself and shivers violently as we FTB)
