((The camera opens on Charlie Carmichael and her two young challenge partners as they’re caught in the glare of the spotlight. An alarm blares, attracting a swarm of Echomen. The underage challengers open fire, shooting at the guards as Holt and Gehenna use this opportunity to snag the prize and the win.))
APPLAUSE
((Ome screams out. Rushing forward, she tackles Delphine into a burning barrel. Embers scatter, burning the contestant’s face. The pain only seems to drive Delphine as she grabs Ome by the hair. Dragging her towards the flag pole, Delphine smashes her opponent’s head against it. Beating Ome until she can take no more, Delphine snatches the flag from her and raises it up the pole to win.))
STRANGE NATION!
((Smirking, Lilix pointed to the clock as the last second of the challenged ran out. Offering an animated shrug, he lit the cannon aimed at Kalena Sef. The cannon ball ripped through the set as streamers and confetti burst into the air. Sef laughed after the cannon ball missed her. Her laughing ceased once the cannon ball brought the entire set down a top of her.))
APPLAUSE
((With his hands around Keegan Graham’s throat, Eryk Bon lifts the man off of his feet and above the opening of a freshly dug grave. Releasing Keegan into the grave with his brother, Argyle, the challenge winner has no time to gloat as the walls of the grave crumble. Toppling into the grave, Bon and his opponents are buried alive.))
STRANGE NATION!
((With Raven on her knees and Lilix’s champions ready to end her life with a pickaxe, the roar of the blood thirsty crowd ceases as Matthew suddenly pushes his way through the prisoners. Pleading for Raven’s life, Matthew cries out against the sins of Rhapsody before having two perfect holes blasted into his palms by Holt’s Rhapsody made hand cannon.))
APPLAUSE
((A bullet carves a large hole through Beta until coming to stop within Warrick Watt’s head, killing the contestant and his champion. Watt’s body falls back, landing on the victory buzzer, balloons and confetti burst into the air as the buzzer sounds. With Alpha falling to his knees at the carnage, Salvatore Stokes looks to see where the shot came from. Brandishing a sniper rifle, Ome looks down from upon a crumbling building at the bewildered contestants. With Reverb at her side, Ome looks toward the exit as the Stranger enters and the credits roll. The highlight reel comes to an end as the screen flashes the Strange Nation logo before cutting to a darkened Strange Nation amphitheater. Suddenly the stage lights pop on. One. Two. Three. All shining down, illuminating a large red velvet curtain and an empty stage. The silence is broken by the tip tap of million credit loafers against the hardened floor. The camera zooms in as Jagger James enters the frame. Walking across the stage, James pauses in front of the curtain. With his hands firmly clasped behind his back, he winks at the camera.))
JAGGER JAMES: Some might say that Strange Nation got a little *pauses/looks thoughtfully into distance* let’s say a little out of hand during our last episode. *scoffs* But WHO CARES what your mom thinks! *laughs* As we get closer to determining who our season finally winner is things will only escalate as only the best of the best WILL WIN the opportunity to live within the wasteland utopia, RHAPSODY! We’re going for SHOCK and AWE here, folks! We will make our contestants bleed as they feed the violent hungry masses. *strikes air* YES, BABY! We are giving them what they want and what they want is this…
((With a swift motion of his arms, James points toward the red velvet curtain as he steps aside. The curtain slowly draws back to reveal a massive upright game show wheel. The wheel is pushed forward as upon it, Matthew is tied to its spokes. With his bandaged hands shackled above his head, Matthew calls upon his God. Ignoring his cries, James grabs the spokes of the wheel.))
JAMES: Let’s have a spin on THE WHEEL OF MATTHEW!
((Giving the wheel one large push, James sends it spinning around and around. Matthew spins with the wheel until slowly coming to a stop. With the contestant hanging upside down, the wheel had landed on the name of a challenge.))
JAMES: *looks to challenge name/reads it* BLOOD TIME FUN TIME *winces* OUCH! Now that’s gonna hurt. *laughs to self* I’d say I feel sorry for whoever in our FANTASTIC cast falls on this challenge *pauses* but I don’t! *laughs* I mean why would I? Why would I when we’re going to have ourselves a little feud *smirks*a little family feud. I can see it now. TEAM RHAPSODY versus TEAM WASTELAND! Us versus them.
((James spins the wheel again and begins to walk away as Matthew screams out, promising to smite Rhapsody for their sins. James smiles.))
JAMES: You see folks, after Matthew’s little display during Lilix and Raven’s death match, the Stranger has decided to give Matthew and Raven a second chance. We all know Raven should have died during her challenge but NO *points* Mr. Goodie Two-shoes over there had to come along and ruin it for the rest of us. We’re all about entertainment here at Strange Nation. So, we’re going to make some toxic lemonade out of some irradiated lemons, my friends. We’re going to milk Matthew’s mistake for all its worth. We’re going to make Raven BEG FOR HER LIFE!
((The background image fades out as across the top of the screen members of Team Rhapsody appear as at the bottom members of Team Wasteland appear.))
JAMES: Take a gander at the screen kids because these are our teams and each team will be working together towards their very own prize. Team Rhapsody with their team leader, Echo Nine will get to pick their own prizes but Team Wasteland with their team leader Charlie Carmichael *pauses* well they’ll be fighting for RAVEN’S LIFE! *laughs* FANTASTIC, isn't it? Now I’d like to wish the best of luck to our team leaders and all our contestants here on STRANGE NATION!
