Taming the Demon

[Pegasus]

The crowd would be shocked as Jonathan Steele made his way out wearing his black trench coat, green t-shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers as he just shoved his hands in his pockets. He started strolling down the ramp looking down at the metal as his feet grazed each thud that came onto it. Soon, the Instant Classic made his way ringside and asked for a mic as a ringside worker nearly threw it at him being so afraid as Jonathan grabbed the middle rope onto the apron. He got in the ring walking around on the canvas and raised his mic to his mouth as the crowd just stood in silence not knowing whether to cheer or boo the man behind the monster they witnessed when the Heartbreakers were nearly white as marshmallows after the match with the beast and the shaman.

“I’ve had a few days to really think on how I wanted to say things….and how I want to respond to questions. I’ve always had an interest in the supernatural, bud it’s different when you become the supernatural one. It’s honestly hard to explain,” Jonathan stated as he looked around the ring one more time before continuing.

“For one matter, I’m still Jonathan, but I’ve been known to act on impulse and my ever-changing anger. My anger grows, because lots of people here tend to piss me off. No one wants to hold them accountable. Quite frankly, this place is out of control and I thought the only way to salvage what’s left of this wreckage was to tap into this demon boiling inside of me. I used to be so scared of him, so afraid that he would….hurt people I cared about, but the more I see evil brewing here, the more I realize I don’t have to be scared of him. He makes things better. And he’s going to help conquer this evil.” Jonathan explained.

Jonathan looked into the crowd as they slowly cheered, but most were still unsure of what their reaction to this news should be.

“Allow me to demonstrate. Selket, I know you’re one for the mind games and trickery. Let’s have a little chat,” Jonathan called out to the back.

The crowd started cheering even more as they had a soft spot for the Egyptian priestess ever since her title match against Astrid Ostberg, but some heavy boos came in as they know her to be truly evil. Jonathan waited as he walked around the ring waiting for the woman in question.

No one was quite sure how to react to Jonathan and his.. ominous explanation or intentions. It was borderline scary to some, and off putting to others, but overall no one had a definitive reaction one way or another. That is until, like a saving grace he called out a pretty well known name in Selket. Someone that fans could at least use to draw a line in the sands for who to root for. Granted she now had more fans lately than before, but there was still quite the deafening boom of boos while the lights went out and fog drifted from the top of the stage and Selket's entrance music began to play.

As the song played many fans stood up while turning on their phone flash lights, hoping to catch some glimpse of Selket as she made her way down to the ring in the darkness. But despite many eagle eyed fans squinting their hardest, there wasn't so much as a sighting of a blur of the woman. Immediately a murmur went through the crowd as confusion set in. Confusion that would soon be alleviated once the lights came back on, revealing Selket sitting on top of the ring corner with her legs crossed, as if she was a queen sitting atop her throne, looking down on the commoner that was Jonathan Steele.

Mic already in hand Selket would raise it up to her lips with a coy smirk on her face. "Kufufufu, you certainly are a confident man Mr.Steele." She said in a thinly veiled taunt towards the man before continuing. "Or rather, you're rather confident in this 'demon' of yours. But you do know what happens when a demon stands against the vessel of a goddess yes?" She asked with a smirk, as if flaunting the difference in their supernatural themes, causing the fans to murmur once more in unease at what may happen.

As she spoke though Selket would hop off the corner, landing gracefully on her feet and strutting over to Jonathan with a smirk on her face. "I recall that you wanted to make me a.. demonstration yes?" Selket asked before getting a downright evil look on her face. "Try your best then, cause I look forward to smiting you." She hissed out with a venomous tone, but a look of ill intent and vicious glee in her eyes while waiting for a response from Jonathan.

Jonathan heard the lights go out just standing there in the darkness as Selket’s music hit and he looked around knowing he could get jumped from the offset. However, the lights came back on as Selket was sitting on the ring corner just taking in the amusement of being called out like this. Selket said that Jonathan was confident in his demon to which Jonathan brought the mic to his mouth, but his tone had surely changed in the darkness.

“I am confident, Selket. Confident that he will make you a shell of your former self. See, you might hide in the darkness, but you eventually come out in the light. He hides in darkness where he grows stronger than ever. Let’s not forget last year…..when you were bested by Astrid Ostberg. And you sit upon an imaginary throne as a queen? You can’t even make it past jester, my dear,” Jonathan explained as he covered his mouth to stifle some maniac laughter.

It was then he turned his back and started laughing out loud making the audience even more unsettled and it was clear Jonathan had the bigger creepy factor to him than Selket. Upon turning around, he faced down the evil glare of Selket as he laughed right in her face before she called him out on his challenge.

“You are one of the most supernatural beings in this promotion. I simply want to rip that title from you. Maybe have him make you a darling puppet. A disciple to server under him. After all, the only queen I see is the fraudulent wrench who plays pretend!” Jonathan spat back making a biting motion with his teeth at Selket’s face.
