We join Lord Allton still in the police station going over his story with the police officer from the events from just a few hours before when there is a knock at the door.
Police officer: Yes?
The door to the room opens. A younger police officer stands there looking into the room like a deer in headlights.
Young officer: Um… Sir…
Police officer: What is it?
Young officer: Just to let you know Sir…. Mr. Barrows has left sir. He’s gone.
This angers Lord Allton. His adversary is gone and yet he is still here. Going over and over and over what happened.
Allton: What?! What do you mean he’s gone?!
Police officer: Mr. Culliford, please… sit - I mean…
Lord Allton smirks at the police officer’s obvious mess up.
Allton: Go ahead and say it. I dare you.
Police officer: Look, just stay quiet, alright? I’ll be right back.
With that, the officer leaves to talk to the younger officer. Agitated that his old adversary has escaped Allton justice again, Allton reaches into the bag around his waist and pulls out his phone.
Allton: Hello, Lissie? I don’t suppose you’re in New York at the moment?
Lissandra: Rob, hi! Actually, yeah we are. Dylan and I are catching up with the Larossia Brothers and Roxxie. Why don’t you join us? It sounds like you’re in town?
Allton: Darling, I would love to. But I’m in a spot of bother with law enforcement.
Lissandra: Say no more. We’ll be right down!
Allton: You are a miracle worker darling. Thank-you.
======================================================================
Within the hour, Lord Allton has left the police station and is back at the Larossia Brothers’ Italian restaurant and is explaining to the A-List Family just what happened at the Broadway show. Allton may not be an ‘official’ member of the A-List Family on TV since taking an OCW Management position, but they are all still friends and family behind the scenes.
Allton: So there I was meeting Ben Platt and the rest of the ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ cast after the show, when I was invited by Laura Dreyfuss to sign a few autographs because who knew? Theatre nerds are also by and large wrestling fans.
Lissandra: ……And then?
Allton: Jonathan Barrows turned up.
Everyone but Roxxie gasps. They can’t believe what they just heard.
Roxxie: Who’s Jonathan Barrows?
Allton: Jonathan Barrows is a man who I thought originally was a decent human being. A man who had a fine head for business. But I was wrong. Jonathan Barrows decided to throw his lot in with Peter Vaughn. He decided to turn Vaughn from a disgustingly sweet, happy-go-lucky fan favourite janitor wrestler (although I saw through all the bullshit happiness from day one) into…well I dunno what he turned him into other than the word c***. I don’t know how else to describe Vaughn other than the word C U Next Tuesday.
Dylan: And you know the hatred is strong when Rob pulls out that particular word. Holy Fucking Hell.
The reunited A-List Family all smile and laugh at this and Roxxie and Allton share a kiss while the screen fades out.
=====================================================================
Well now Vaughn… isn’t the next show just going to be an absolute doozy?! I can do ANYTHING that I want to you so long as you live by the end of it. Peter, do you know what this means? I can, if I so desire - and I’m seriously considering this - taking a sledgehammer and breaking every bone in your body, and that would be just the start, Petey.
I’m considering tying you to a chair, making an incision SOMEWHERE on your body and bringing a few rats to clear up my mess. Yes ladies and gentlemen, the hate between Peter and I is real. It has always been real and now you’re coming back out of nowhere Pete and you think that you deserve a shot at MY world title.
Pete, my issue is that I don’t believe that you deserve a shot at my title, I mean: you haven’t been here for God knows how long. BUT I am granting you the shot because it means that after three years waiting - THREE FUCKING YEARS - I finally get to kill you! (Figure of speech, Mr. Zybala).
Pete, after the ending of Supercard of Equality, there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. I am coming for you… I am coming to destroy you. When all is said and done and the dust settles, I’ll loan you my wheelchair. The one that I no longer use because I swear on my family, I swear on the A-List Family, I swear on my beautiful girl Roxxie that you’re going to need that chair when I’m done with you.
Oh and Pete, tell Barrows: When I’m done with you, I’m coming for him next. This match between you and I Pete may end at Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but the war between myself and Barrows will only be over when I say it is. Tell your buddy that he better watch our match very carefully, because I’m coming for him too. And guess what? No. Clowns. Needed.
======================================================================
When we fade back in, it’s a few days later and Allton and Roxxie are making their way to Houston ready for Texas Chainsaw Massacre when an alert comes through on his phone. He asks Roxxie to turn on the news on her phone and as she does, Allton can see the breaking news story:
‘PSYCHOTIC MAN KIDNAPS LITTLE GIRL AND WAITS FOR WELL KNOWN WRESTLER TO ARRIVE IN TEXAS’.
The man has a hood over his face but Allton recognizes the girl all too well. It’s his good friend Penny aka Lady Penelope, aka PennyLass. They are standing on the roof of a Houston building overlooking the city and they are standing hand in hand with Penny looking obviously distressed.
The rage inside Allton grows and grows and Roxxie Gobbler gasps at the news story. She puts her phone away and Allton turns to the camera, breaking the fourth wall.
Allton: OK, Vaughn! Now you’ve really made it personal.
The camera once again fades out and when we fade in, Allton and Roxxie are at the scene of the kidnapping with cameras around everywhere. Allton wants to get up on the roof to save Penny, but he can’t see a way up. Just then, a Texas police officer comes walking over to Allton and Roxxie.
Police officer: He wants you.
Allton: Is it Peter Vaughn?
Police officer: He won’t give his name. But the kid is calling for you.
Allton: Get me up there!
Police officer: Sorry but that’s against regulation. We can’t give him what he wants. We just need to keep him talking.
Allton: Look, if that is who I think it is, that little girl is in grave danger. He will not hesitate to hurt her just to get to me. You can’t just talk to him.
======================================================================
After a long back and forth with the police officer, Allton finally gets his way and manages to make his way to the roof of the building via a window cleaner lift. At the top of the building, Penny is screaming for Allton while the hooded man continues to securely hold her arm. Allton’s rage is such that he could blow a gasket but he maintains his composure because he’s scared for Penny’s safety and doesn’t want to scare her.
Allton: Peter, this is between you and I. Don’t scare Penny anymore than you already have. Please! Let her go!
The hooded man smirks under his hood and speaks with a voice changer. We don’t actually know if it really is Peter Vaughn, Allton just assumes it is.
Hooded man: This little girl is important to you, isn’t she?
Allton: Yes! She is!
The hooded man suddenly shoves Penny towards Allton who catches her in time.
Hooded man: Well, I brought some friends to keep you busy.
A small group of men suddenly surround Allton as the hooded man escapes by jumping off the roof. Just before jumping, the hood falls. Allton believes he saw Vaughn but he cannot be one hundred percent sure, unfortunately. Allton keeps Penny close to him just when Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin starts to play from the sky! A Dragonzord drops from the sky and Allton can see a reunited Life Before Death - Mike Zybala and Lucas ‘The Icon Thames through the Zord’s window.
Allton smiles and the Zord rains finger rockets down on the men that surround Allton and Penny. The Zord lets out an ear splitting shriek but Allton cannot help but smile. The Zord then lowers its hand and Allton and Penny climb on. Slowly and carefully the DragonZord then lowers Allton and Penny down to the ground as the surrounding crowd looks on with a cheer. Zybala and Lucas then climb out of the Zord and it powers down. Allton cannot help in the back of his mind watch for Peter Vaughn.
