"You had it all."
As members of the audience were just about to leave to go home, they're stopped by a man speaking on the titantron. After hearing his English accent, they look up to see the man staring into a mirror. This man is the former XWA World Heavyweight Champion, Danny Diamond. Cheers are immediately heard, as Danny continues to look at his own reflection in an undisclosed location, a camera filming everything whilst he sits on a stool.
|dannyDIAMOND| "You were on top of the world. Everything was yours. Now ... nothing. You're a nobody, again. A filthy casual, just like the rest of this God-forsaken world. I'm the best. Ever. That's a fact. Yet I let go of the one thing that proved it. I didn't even lose. Pathetic. They stripped me of my whole existence. Now what? Do I fight to get it back, starting at the bottom where I was before? Do I ask for my rightful rematch? Or do I go a ... different route. There's really only one person in this world who knows me, who cares about me. He's always been here for me, from the very beginning. Yet I've shunned him time and time again, thinking he was ruining my life, when in reality, he was saving it. XWA doesn't want a God amongst them? Well, how about a Devil?"
Danny turns his head to the side, picking something off of the table and then getting up off of the stool he was seated on. He walks over to the camera, his hand that carries this item not being seen. Once he gets to the camera, "The Prized Gem" looks directly into it.
|dannyDIAMOND| "Will you all turn on me again when I embrace what's right? I'm used to it by now, the jeers, the hatred. It was nice being the good guy for a little while, but the world doesn't need another good guy. It needs a villain. It needs a realist. This place that we call a home is full of so many fake lies and bullshit. It's about time I embraced the truth. You know what they say, after all. The truth shall set you free. Of course, freedom doesn't exist in this life. We're all just slaves to the higher powers. But what about the highest power? What about that being that none can be above? Is there even such a thing? Or is it just a ... mirage?"
The audience lets out a loud, yet mixed reaction, realizing just what's happening right now.
|dannyDIAMOND| "It's time for everyone to open their eyes. They've been closed for so long."
Danny bends forward, leaning his head off camera. A few seconds pass and he pops back up, but it's not the same man that just bent forward. Donning a beige mask, with two black ovals for eyes and a few rips and tears throughout it, the man speaks.
|MIRAGE| "May the Gods be with you."
"The Illusionist" tilts his head to the side like a confused puppy, before XWA Vendetta #100 abruptly ends.
