(frightful music) (metal tinging)
-
- [Lucas] Why me?
-
What landed me here?
-
The name's Lucas, or as the media has dubbed me,
-
the queen killer. (drum pounding)
-
I'm currently on trial for allegedly killing
-
the beauty queen of our town,
-
a known celebrity in our small parts,
-
found nearly decapitated and torn at the seams,
-
like a discarded rag doll.
-
I just happened to be the last person who saw her.
-
(ghastly string music)
-
We were kind of dating
-
so it made sense that I would be the number one suspect.
-
It's been quite the circus,
-
so I can't say I'm surprised they sought me out.
-
But you see, here's the kicker.
-
I wanted them to find me. (Lucas chuckles)
-
I knew being involved in a high-profile case
-
would get their attention,
-
Mica's eyes in particular.
-
Mica's the eccentric old bag that runs this joint.
-
In the arena (distant cheering)
-
Mica's ring runners had broken into a unified roar
-
as something made it's way towards my cage.
-
(chains rattling)
-
Behind me, the gate opened. (metal clatters)
-
(feet pattering) Then footsteps.
-
I turned around and there she was.
-
Her bleeding gouged eyes wrapped in gauze,
-
her dress stained from past victims,
-
and those blood rusted chains!
-
This was exactly where I wanted to be.
-
To be face-to-face with these monsters!
-
And I got to be face-to-face with the Mohawk hunter herself,
-
Estelle.
-
You see, I found a book,
-
a tome, a long while back,
-
that spoken of incredible creatures
-
with even more incredible powers.
-
I knew in my deepest being they were real,
-
and I had to find them.
-
And here I am, my discovery feet away from me.
-
But I have no interest in fighting them.
-
No, I'm here to free them.
-
Estelle stood facing me,
-
a growing silence between us.
-
Suddenly (electricity zapping)
-
a violent shock engulfed her. (metal fence rattling)
-
Her body spun into strange contortions,
-
dropping her to the mat. (body thudding)
-
I looked up to see Mica cackling in the distance,
-
holding a remote.
-
I approached Estelle gently but it was a ridiculous attempt.
-
Before I knew it her chains had taken hold
-
of my arms behind my back,
-
forcing me down to my knees.
-
As the chains tightened (chains rattling)
-
my skin pinched and bled between each link.
-
I needed to convince Estelle that I was on her side.
-
"Estelle!"
-
She gave a slight hesitation,
-
cocking her ear towards me.
-
Hesitation was all it was though
-
as she wrapped another layer of chains around my neck.
-
I told her about the tome, that I knew all about her,
-
the Mohawk, that she's the protector of the weak.
-
Every word I spoke was a link in the chain
-
turning my adam's apple
-
into applesauce. (rubber squeezing)
-
I was becoming faint.
-
With my last breath I told her,
-
"I can free you." (rubber squeezing)
-
Then darkness.
-
I was pretty sure I was dead,
-
but that wasn't the case.
-
I came to and Estelle was standing with her back to me.
-
It felt like she was,
-
like she was letting me play dead.
-
I didn't have time to waste.
-
So I took my chance and I jumped onto her,
-
making it look like I was attacking her,
-
but I was trying to get that collar off.
-
(body thudding)
-
We wrestled around stumbling everywhere,
-
chains gliding and smashing into the gate around us.
-
But the fun wouldn't last for long.
-
I almost had the collar off and then Mica caught on.
-
(Mica laughs) Then, it hit.
-
Mica pressed her remote, (remote clicks)
-
sending a shockwave (muffled screaming)
-
through both of us. (metal fence rattles)
-
Estelle's chains nearly cut me in half because of it.
-
It was crippling to say the least.
-
But I had also locked my hand onto part of the collar.
-
And then crack! (metal clangs)
-
I finally broke it off.
-
I fell off Estelle landing on my back.
-
When I rose Estelle had disappeared.
-
(ghastly string music)
-
I looked around me,
-
sharing the same surprised expression
-
as Mica's minions outside the cage.
-
We all looked around.
-
More in disbelief than the fear we should have had.
-
Out of the darkness
-
the gentle tingle of metal against the walls
-
could be heard gliding around us.
-
Everyone unaware I was no longer the entertainment,
-
they were.
-
In an instant Estelle's chains
-
punctured in and out (goo squelching)
-
of Mica's goons sending their blood and guts everywhere.
-
Men and women ran screaming (men and women screaming)
-
for what would be their short-lived miserable lives.
-
I looked to Mica in her box above it all
-
as she ran for her life.
-
Apparently she's not one
-
to go down with the ship. (chains rattling)
-
It was then.
-
Estelle rose above them all,
-
holding herself up by her shackles.
-
Her incredible chains piercing
-
through each victim. (goo squelching)
-
I caught my breath and witnessed the power
-
I had with this monster.
-
Of what I could have with all of them.
-
I couldn't help but laugh out loud
-
at my possible omnipotence.
-
(Lucas chuckles)
-
But something had broke my thought.
-
Estelle's steel whips
-
had slithered their way around my feet,
-
holding me in place.
-
I spat my wonderment at her as I tried to fight free.
-
"Why me?
-
"I freed you!
-
"All of this is because of me!"
-
Her chains, seeped in blood,
-
covered me from head to toe.
-
They squeezed out my last breathing words to Estelle
-
as she lowered herself to me.
-
"I killed the beauty queen for you!"
-
And with that Estelle decided that I was the real monster.
-
She wrenched the chains (chains rattling)
-
tightly around my body, (rubber squeezing)
-
spilling blood, bone, and bile
-
out of her chains. (goo squelching)
-
(Lucas suffocates) (chains rattling)
-
(goo squelching)
-
(drum beats)
-
(frightful techno music)
