We...

The fog broke on the stone. The rough jagged edge of the stone suddenly changed to a smooth face. The camera continued to pan as it moved up the stone face. Shortly, a date came into view. It read, “06/11/18”. As the camera panned up even further, there was other words that appeared in the stone face.
“Here lies Tommy End. He enjoyed playing in the rain.”
The name was scratched out, barely visible. Chisel marks were chipped out of the face. On top of the chisel marks, blood was smeared to hide the rest of Tommy’s name. Above the bloody smear, the name “Jimmy Fuckin’ Havoc” was written in the same blood.
The camera continued to pan upward, but also begun to zoom out. A hand was place a top the tombstone, blood dripping off the slender finger tips. As the camera continued to zoom out, Zahra Schreiber stood behind the stone with a smirk on her face. The look of pure euphoria came to her as she lifted her hand off the stone and licked the blood off her fingers. A shadow crossed in front of her.
Tommy End walked into the screen and placed his hand down on the tombstone. He tilted his head as he looked down at the face.
Tommy End: ”This grave, it was meant for me. I should be the one who is beneath the dirt, but I’m not.
Why is that?”
Tommy lifted his head and he looked forward.
Tommy End: ”I am not buried beneath this tombstone, because quite frankly, it wasn’t my time… Instead, it was yours, my friend.”
He took a deep breath as he turned his whole body forward and took his hand off the tombstone.
Tommy End: ”Jimmy Havoc, you tried to step up and do something that not many have been able to do. You tried to stop then End from coming.
You tried to change your fate, but the butterfly effect was not in your favor. Instead, Jimmy, you did everything I said you were going to do. You looked to far ahead. You let your ego get a hold of you and you over thought this. You over thought me, and that right there. That was your downfall.
See Jimmy, I’m not a man to overlook, as I just proved. I am not a man who is to be thought of as a fool. No Jimmy, and for you to think that little of me, that is why I had to be stern with you. That is why I couldn’t just show you the truth. I had to make you feel the truth.
I had to make you feel that I am everything I say I am. We…”
Tommy pointed to himself and then back at Zahra.
Tommy End: ”We had to prove that we are everything we say we are.”
He placed his hands in front of him as he pause for a moment.
Tommy End: ”Legion is not just a gathering of like minded individuals. We’re not a little group that think we can change the world. No. In fact, we’re a much larger group that have already changed the world you live in. You all are just too blind to the truth to see it.
You think that Legion is just right here in front of you? You think Legion is just Zahra, Dante, and myself?”
Tommy shook his head slowly.
Tommy End: ”That is blind thinking. That is the thinking that got AJ Styles’ head knocked off. That is the thinking that got Jimmy’s head, knocked off.”
He placed his hand back on the tombstone as he looked down. He was silent for a moment.
Tommy End: ”Now Edge, you’ve been around the block plenty of times. You’ve been in countless matches. You’ve fought men that were bigger than you. Small than you. Faster than you. You’ve fought men who could break you like a twig if they wanted to. But, you over looked all that.
You played all the games and seen so many things in this business. You are what some would consider a mastermind in this sport.
Which is why I hope that you have a better head on your shoulders right now than AJ Styles did. More brains than Jimmy Havoc did. I hope that you are willing to comprehend just what you’re getting into that ring with. I hope that you’re will to see that when you step into that ring with me, I’m not alone.
Physically, sure, but I’m never alone.”
Tommy took a step back and stood next to Zahra.
Tommy End: ”You see, this may be a one on one match, but I can assure you Edge, there is more that you’re stepping into that ring against. You’re stepping into the ring with all of Legion. And as I said, do not believe what you see.
Do not think what you see before you is Legion. Zahra, Dante, and myself, we are but a small faction of a greater cause. We are just a spokesmen of what is inside all of us.
The Truth.”
He took a moment.
Tommy End: ”Legion is everywhere. Your mailman. The kid that bags your groceries. That old lady you play bingo with down at the firehouse. They’re Legion.
That girl you hit on at the bar last night. She’s Legion. The caterer who prepared your food. They’re Legion. The person sitting next to you right now…
They’re Legion.
Legion is everywhere, and we are nowhere. We are your fears. We are your dreams. We are the ones who make the rain fall and the sun rise. We are everything.”
He outstretched his arms and smiled.
Tommy End: ”And that is what you’re up against, Edge. That is what everyone in the King of the Ring Tournament is up against. You’re not up against just myself. You’re not up against Dante or Zahra in my corner. No...
You’re up against Legion. And when you’re up against Legion, there is no way of winning. There is no way of surviving. When you’re up against Legion, you’re up against a force you have never experience before, and you will never experience again. When you’re up against Legion, you’re up against the truth. And the truth is, there is no one who can beat us.”
Tommy looked back at Zahra with a smile. He then turned forward once more.
Tommy End: ”We are… Legion.”
As Tommy finished, a loud grunt could be heard. The camera panned out even further and revealed Michael Dante. Above his head, Dante held a sludgehammer. He quickly brought the hammer down with force and smashed the tombstone. The three members of Legion all stood there in silence as the tombstone crumbled and the dust settled.
