Cataclysm's Eve

"Behold....."
We open in the dimly lit church of The Undertaker. The Undertaker steps up from his throne, and stands in front of his twin torches.
"I prophecized its coming, and it came. Once again, The Fatal Army has been resurrected from the dead to conquer all that would dare to cross its path.
Mr. Piper, you came and you fought...but it just wasn't good enough. You just didn't have it, Roddy. No matter what you tried, you couldn't stand toe to toe with The Lord of Darkness. You were doomed before you even stepped inside of that ring. And please...spare me with your speeches about how you are still alive.....if I had wanted to kill you, I can assure you that breath would not be entering your lungs right now. I told you before this ever began that you were to serve as an example, nothing more and nothing less.
Kidman...Jarrett....two of my former followers aligned? If war is what you seek, my friends, war is what you shall find. Both of you walked with me into the city of darkness, yet you both lacked the ability to dwell within it. You just didn't have it, so you ran from it. You ran like scared children out of a horror movie. Both of you disgust me.
Jarrett, what more do I have to do to you to make you understand that you are nothing? I took you from a mere wrestler, and drove you to become a parody of yourself. Then, I rose you from that parody..and placed you upon an altar of blood...I made you my Chosen One. And when you failed me, Jarrett, I cast you into the abyss. Time and time again, you attempted to gain retribution. Yet you have never been able to avenge that night so long ago. So now you don the attire of The Chosen One once again? Fool. You will never possess the powers you once did. You are a lost cause.
Look at what you did at Rampage, Jarrett. You did nothing. You were unable to stop my wrath from striking down. You may have saved Kidman, but you only delayed the inevitable. You can rest assured that I will have the head of Billy Kidman as my own personal trophy. But did you stop me from taking care of the main event? No, my friend, you did not.
Booker T, I don't give a damn who you are or where you're from. I'm going to make this very short and very simple....you have something that belongs to me. The Intercontinental Title should be, and will be, mine.
You see Booker, let me give you a little history lesson on that belt. I won the Intercontinental Title long ago, and I kept it until I chose Billy Kidman to come into the fold. I presented him with the belt.....so you see, I was never beaten for it.
Later on, I took that belt from Raven after I beat him within an inch of his life. In order for Raven to fulfill his destiny, Booker, he first had to face the wrath of evil first hand. Then, I used the title as a pawn to take care of Kurt Angle. However, the FTR went on hiatus before my plans could be fulfilled, and when it returned...Angle lost the belt to you.
In order for Raven to fulfill his destiny, Booker, he had to undergo great torture. That holds true for you as well. Yet your destiny is not to stand as one with The Lord of Darkness....your destiny is to fall before me as a broken man. Your destiny, Booker, is to lose your Intercontinental Championship to me. That title is a stepping stone to more...important endeavors.
You can rest assured, Booker, that your time is coming.
And as for The Big Show, let me explain this in the simplest of terms.
I do not like Nathan Jones. I do not like Rey Mysterio. I do not invest them with the powers of darkness as I have done with the rest of The Army. They know their roles, and they follow their roles.
For you see, every Army needs men like Destructive Lightning. Every Army needs men who destroy without rhyme or reason. Every Army needs men who don't give a damn, Show. Every Army needs someone who is just in it for one thing..and one thing only....
The money.
And Big Show, what they want...I can provide. Rey Mysterio and Nathan Jones signed an iron clad contract with me...a contract that no one else here in the FTR can match. So boy, it would do you well to come to terms with your loss and move on to something else. In other words.............stay out of my way.
And all of you, be forewarned that this is not the end...but only the beginning. The Army will continue to grow...it will continue to rise......and soon.....
