  • (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)

(frightful music) (metal tinging)
