Hey Guys! This is a little something I posted two years ago that I really enjoyed writing and is now buried in the archives. So, for those that missed it the first time and especially for the new people, I thought I'd repost it here and now. Anyway, I'd like to think it's a fun read. Enjoy!
The show opened with Nemean holding a microphone standing beside Senior aCe War Reporter Allistar Druxton on a stage inside the aCe studio.
Nemean: Greetings and salutations my little Nem-A-Maniacs and welcome once again to the most extreme, the most exciting, and the most entertaining hour on holovision! Tonight, not only will we bring you our usual aCe recaps and exclusive aCe action, but tonight will be a very special episode of The Nemean Show!
I am joined tonight by Senior aCe War Reporter Allistar Druxton, who will be my co-host as the Nemean Show and the Centra Prime Media Network present…aCe Ultimatum: A Look Back at the First Half of 2121.
This show looks super hot! Why don’t you tell all the Nem-A-Maniacs out there what we have in store for them Alley Cat? (Allistar Druxton went to talk, but was drowned out by a heavy knock to the side of the stage. Nemean grabbed the microphone back from Druxton.)
Nemean: What the...? What is that? (A knock was heard again and Nemean walked to the side of the stage to hear the door being pounded on.)
Who could that be? And since when do we have a door? (Nemean opened the door to reveal the tag team of PainMaster and Sycophant! S & M had come to the Nemean Show!)
PainMaster!?
Sycophant!!?
What are you two doing here!!!?
PainMaster: (Screaming) the House of Pain goes where they want! The House of Pain does what they want! The House of Pain watches what they want! And the House of Pain does not want to watch another biased and inane episode of the filth that is the Nemean Show! Tonight, instead of the mindless drivel that is usually shown, our residents of the House of Pain out there are going to get a real treat! This is no trick Nemean, because tonight…the House of Pain is taking over! (PainMaster grabbed the microphone from Nemean and pushed him away as Sycophant jumped on the back of Allistar Druxton)
Mr. Bloat, are we ready? (Bloat is then shown to have replaced the regular Nemean Show cameraman, standing in back of the holovid camera and wearing huge headphones as he gives PainMaster the thumbs up sign followed by a burp. Master is then shown again.)
Then let’s begin…Tonight, I, PainMaster will be your host as the House of Pain present a very special look at the scary, strange, and sadistic universe of aCe. Tonight, as the people on Centra gather with their families and stuff their portly faces with sugary slop, the House of Pain will pay tribute to the gods and demons of the underworlds as we delve into the world of the undead, the supernatural, and everything in between. Be afraid, kiddies... because after watching tonight, you might never be the same….
(Bloody graphics are shown on the holovid screen spelling out The House of Pain Halloween Special and a voiceover announces as host PainMaster, with Sycophant, including special guest Mr. Bloat. Also appearing, Zombie Nation and the Judas Syndicate, with aCe tag team champions the HellRaisers in action, as well as a very special message from Godsend!)

The program returned to show PainMaster wearing a costume of a cape and fangs. The evil wrestling legend was dressed as another evil wrestling legend. It was Count NecroMaster! Sycophant was by his side dressed as Master’s old grotesque partner in the Watchmen. Sycophant looked ridiculous in an oversized Tocsin mask. A huge water tank stood beside them.
PainMaster: Welcome back to The House of Pain Halloween Special! (PainMaster turned to Sycophant.) WHAT THE!? WHAT KIND OF A HALLOWEEN COSTUME IS THAT!? BY THE GRANDFATHERS OF AURIGAE!! What are you doing wearing such a vile mask? That masquerade is not appropriate for this celebration! Get out of my sight gimp, and return with a more suited costume!
(Sycophant bowed out of the scene at the order of his Master as PainMaster continued.)
PainMaster: Still to come, ghosts, monsters, and demons will be ghouling it out in special Halloween spooktacular matchups, when Gheist takes on Hybrid and aCe tag team champions the Hellraisers defend their essence against NuBorn Destruction! Also, the Judas Syndicate will appear in a very special terrifying trick-or-treat video from the streets of Centra, as well as the first ever aCe Mystery Pie Eating Contest! Plus, Godsend has promised something huge tonight for the viewers at home…
But, first…let me welcome our first horrific and disturbed guests to the House of Pain Halloween Special…say hello kiddies to the decrepit duo and the pride of the plague, say hello to…Zombie Nation!
(Noxious and Rotwurm staggered through the stage door and got stuck together in the doorway. The zombies popped out of the door stumbling and nearly fell onto the stage. The two undead ghouls moaned and groaned as they came towards PainMaster. Noxious wore a curly wig, a headband, and a cape. Rotwurm also had a curly wig and a headband. Zombie Nation very much resembled GWF legends Proteus and Actagon! They were the Greek Zombies!
PainMaster: Welcome, welcome to the House of Pain! So, excited to have you both here tonight for my Halloween Special! Nothing says Halloween like a couple of Greeks! Anyway, before we begin our very special Halloween game…let me ask each of you…what is your favorite Halloween treat?
(PainMaster held the microphone up to Noxious, before the zombie let out a blood-splattering moan that soaked PainMaster’s face with red liquid. PainMaster screamed before he wiped off the blood in disbelief and turned to Rotwurm.)
Now you Rotwurm, what do you like best about Halloween? (Master positioned the microphone in front of Rotwurm and the zombie hesitated for a moment before answering with a spew of insects and bugs that sprayed all over PainMaster. PainMaster shouted once again and slapped away the bugs before continuing.)
You idiots! I know what your kind wants! You miserable zombies are always looking for BRAINS! That’s right! So, in our first game of the evening it must be Zombie Nation’s lucky day, because the House of Pain’s Halloween Special presents Bobbing for Brains with Zombie Nation!
(The zombies came towards the water tank as PainMaster picked up a bucket and held it up above the tank. A few brains of different colors and shapes dropped out of the bucket and into the tank as Master continued.)
PainMaster: Alright you bumbling buffoons get over here! You asked for brains, now you got brains!
Rotwurm: Braaains!
PainMaster: BOB, ZOMBIES, BOB!
Noxious: Bahhhhb!
(The zombies both lowered their heads into the tank. The brains kept slipping away from their mouths as the zombies struggled to bite the gooey gray matter.)
(Suddenly, it was Lance At-Las and Aspin Northstar sneaking up from behind PainMaster and the zombies. Aspin looked like another “Chosen One” in a long black trench coat and dark sunglasses. The prosthetic-armed wrestling hero, At-Las was dressed in garb that looked quite similar to a different prosthetic-armed hero from a galaxy far, far away. The Light Brigade pushed Master out of the way before coming up behind the zombies. Neo Northstar held Rotwurm’s head underwater as Lance Skywalker held Noxious’s head under. Zombie Nation thrashed under the water and scratched at the water tank for a minute before the zombies finally were completely motionless. The members of the R.O.C. let go of the zombies and fake punched at PainMaster before leaving the stage area.)
PainMaster: Well, it looks like we have some cleaning up to do…let’s go to the aCe Battlefield as Gheist takes on the monster Hybrid!
Gheist vs. Hybrid
The spectral assassin went right after the wild animal that is Hybrid and attacked him with a backside leg sweep, an undercut uppercut, and a rear choke. Hybrid pushed out of the hold and sent Gheist bouncing off the ropes and into a Hybrid shoulderblock that flipped Gheist head over heels. The Primus beast continued on Gheist with a powerbomb into the turnbuckle that sent Gheist flying over the top rope and onto the arena floor. Hybrid followed Gheist outside and stood on the apron before running off with a sloppy running tackle that missed Gheist and made Hybrid crash against the guardrails. Gheist threw Hybrid back in the ring and spiked Hybrid with a cradle piledriver. Hybrid shook off the attack and flew at Gheist with a pounce and slash that took the bounty hunter down. Hybrid kept on the member of Murdok’s Tomb with a big elbow, a throw into the ring post, and a Brain Damager before finally missing a diving head butt. Gheist hit a leaping side kick on Hybrid before he began climbing the top rope, but he took to long and Hybrid jumped to the second rope and held Gheist on the top rope by the throat. Gheist however took out his throwing star and sliced Hybrid in the face with Possessor’s Edge knocking Hybrid to the mat with a thud. Gheist waited for Hybrid to get to his feet before flying off the turnbuckle with a Soul Slayer that gave Gheist the win over Hybrid in 6 minutes 36 seconds.
After Hybrid stormed out of the arena and toppled guardrails on his way, Gheist stood victorious in the ring, when suddenly the lights went off in the arena. In a moment they came back on to reveal a jack-o-lantern with Gheist’s face carved in it sitting in the middle of the ring. Gheist went over to the mysterious pumpkin and picked it up. Gheist pulled off the top of the jack-o-lantern and put his hand inside before he pulled it out and held a black rose in front of himself. Gheist threw the rose down and stomped on it, doing the same to the jack-o-lantern before leaving the ring.

The show came back to a first-person view of walking through woods. The camera focuses on a rundown and dilapidated church. Someone’s hand pushes the door to the church open to reveal Shepard bowing before an altar. Suddenly Godsend comes into the scene with his arms stretched out behind a praying Shepard before the view fades to black.
PainMaster is standing on the aCe stage.
PainMaster: Dared to return kiddies? You want more morbid and macabre tales of monsters and mischief? Well, then you’ve come to the right place. The House of Pain: Halloween Special continues!
We’ve already seen a pair of swimming zombies. Now it’s time to bear witness to something so frightening and disturbing that it could only come from those traitorous tyrants of terror…The Judas Syndicate!
Let’s go to a terrifying trick-or-treat holovid where the Judas Syndicate brought their own brand of carnage and catastrophe to the streets of Centrapolis…
(PainMaster is interrupted by Sycophant walking into the scene wearing a new mask. This time it was PainMaster’s hated enemy, Mandrill! PainMaster screamed, dropped the microphone, and ran through the side door out of the stage area. Sycophant watched Master run way before he slowly took off the Mandrill mask.)
The Judas Syndicate are shown on the streets of Centrapolis among dozens of Centran costumed children and adults trick-or-treating.
General Rankor: Judas Syndicate we are here on the streets of Centrapolis to send a message! The Judas Syndicate will not be overlooked! We will soon control the aCe just like we are about to control the streets of Centrapolis on their precious holiday of Halloween! After we ruin Halloween for all these boys and girls, the aCe will finally realize we are a force to be messed with! I need the both of you machines to follow the General’s orders and steal all the treats on this block! I have found the perfect disguises for the Judas Syndicate! I have read that Halloween originated on that wussy of a planet, Earth. Well, then what better than to look like the wisest and most respected figures of the planet’s history? Put on your costumes Shock Syndicate and get out there! (Flatliner grabbed a curly parted wig from Rankor as Holocaust took a skull cap from the General. Rankor completed the trio by putting a fake moptop on himself. It was General Moe, Larry-Liner, and Curly-Caust!) Flatliner, get everything! Holocaust, don’t spare a child or candybar! The Judas Syndicate declares war on Halloween!!
(A montage is shown of the Shock Syndicate bringing back several items that continuously disappoint Rankor, including stolen space-roamer radios, a Milky Way bar, a copy of Wrestling Wars, a Greg Valentine poster, a holograph of K-Fed Brit-Brit Paris Hilton III’s crotch, an iphone, and Kris Osk.)
General Rankor: You two stooges! You can’t do anything right! Let me show you good-for-nothing robots what stealing and thievery are all about! (Rankor goes to take candy cane from a little girl, but the girl kicks him with a low blow.)
Perfect…Good….That was nothing the Judas Syndicate could use in conquering the universe….Wait! The General sees something up ahead! Ahhh…yes, a bounty worthy of a leader like myself!
(Rankor walked towards the back of a big old lady pushing a twin stroller that a huge bag of treats rest on. Rankor pulled the lady to him and grabbed the bag! However, Rankor then dropped the bag when he saw that the twin babies in the stroller were really Darkness Falls and the old lady in costume was Paganax!
Krypt and Jakyll sprung up from the stroller and attacked Holocaust and Flatliner as Paganax tossed aside the stroller and his costume to do battle with Rankor!
Soon, it was the Darkness Falls running off the Shock Syndicate as Paganax stunned Rankor and sat the General on the stroller before rolling it down the steep Centrapolis street.

The show returns to a shot of some ancient temple where Shepard is being tied down to a stone table by Godsend.
Godsend: Priest! You worship blindly at the feet of false idols and follow the bogus edict of a bygone faith! Where are your Angels!? Where is your messiah now, Priest!!?
(Godsend continued to tie up the appendages of Shepard as he spoke.)
You know not what you desire or are prepared for! God’s Vagabond does not have the power or authority to challenge a Fifth Realm demon like myself!
You have made an eternal mistake Priest! Now you must steady your innocent soul, Shepard…for the time is soon upon us when you and all those that follow your failed message of hope and promise will never again be the same…when they finally view on the true face of the Vagabond Priest known as Shepard!
Tell your sheep Shepard to start praying for your soul…and for their own as well!
The show returns to the aCe studio to show the stage door being opened to reveal a nervous and hesitant PainMaster. PainMaster slowly stepped back to the podium when he sees someone before him off camera.
PainMaster: Ah, MUCH BETTER my sick one. NOW you look appropriate! MORE THAN appropriate! You look HANDSOME! (Sycophant walks on to the shot dressed as PainMaster himself and heads for the arms of his Master.)
You finally made me proud gimp! Nothing can ruin this night for the House of Pain! I’ve led the aCe universe through a night of horrors and atrocities, Sycophant has impressed me with his new fashion sense, and coming up next Mr. Bloat promises to eat Scorch for breakfast in the Mystery Pie Eating Competition!
What a night for the House! Plus, still to come…Godsend will be back for his final act of Armageddon!
But now we are going back to the ring for the House of Pain Halloween Special Monster Mayhem Main Event! It is the aCe tag team champions those devilish demons themselves, the Hellraisers putting up the essence titles against the muscled-up maniacs of NuBorn Destruction!
aCe Tag Team Championship
Monster Mayhem Main Event
aCe Tag Team Champions
The Hellraisers
vs.
NuBorn Destruction
The battle began with all four hellish combatants inside the aCe ring. Nightmare surprised Tekaro out of nowhere with the power of the Shadow Mist and a Dread Lariat as the bell rung. Nightmare continued on Tekaro with an elbow to the head and a couple of chopping thrusts until Tekaro slipped out of a scoop slam attempt by Nightmare and caught the Hellraiser with an Antillian Atomic Drop. Tekaro positioned Nightmare with a double foot stomp, but missed a soaring leg drop. Nightmare nailed Tekaro with Spear of Shadows as the Antillian warrior got to his feet. The demon spirit Nightmare tagged in Darkseed who came into flatten Tekaro with a top rope powerbomb. Darseed roared in delight as he pounded on Tekaro with a huge headbutt, a sledgehammer fist, a Spiked Mace, and a spinebuster slam. The Dominion’s Beast missed a charge into the corner and Tekaro made the tag to Warfare. The massive fighter Warfare entered the ring to go nose-to-nose with the huge demon Darkseed. The two big men traded dual chokes before Darkseed connected with a punch to the throat only to have Warfare fire back with a clubbing fist and a running spear takedown. Nightmare appeared out of nowhere with another Spear of Shadows, but this time the move was dodged as Warfare got out of the way and Nightmare leveled his partner Darkseed by accident. The big devil was sent out of the ring as Warfare followed up on a surprised Nightmare with a devastating Juggernaut Driver. Tekaro ran in with a clothesline on Nightmare with his spear and Warfare climbed to the top rope. The mental maniac Warfare flew off with a flying shoulder tackle that sent Nightmare colliding into the referee. The referee and both Hellraisers were out as NuBorn Destruction signaled for their finisher. Warfare and Tekaro destroyed Nightmare with Extinction Level Event and Tekaro made the cover, but there was no ref to count the pin. Suddenly, Darkseed pulled Warfare under the bottom rope to the floor and blasted him with the aCe tag team title before climbing the apron to the top turnbuckle. With Tekaro still covering Nightmare, Darkseed jumped off the top rope with Belly of the Beast squashing both Tekaro and his partner Nightmare. Darkseed rolled Nightmare out of the way and Tekaro to the middle of the ring and made the cover as the referee awoke to count the pin on Tekaro in 10 minutes and 13 seconds.
After the bell the Hellraisers quickly escaped the aCe ring with their aCe tag team titles as Warfare went for his warhammers. Warfare smashed the referee with the weapon as more referees and officials ran out to suffer the same fate before Warfare was eventually calmed by Tekaro.
Back in the aCe Studio Painmaster orders Sycophant as he sets a long dinner table.
PainMaster: That is right, Sycophant! The eyeball-opener goes directly under the testicle tongues! Very good, my gimp!
When we return, it will be the menacing Mystery Pie Eating Contest, as well as Godsend will be back to give the aCe Universe a very special final message!
So, as my domesticated defective prepares for tonight’s fiendish feast, we will take a break, but be sure to come right back, because there is still plenty more tricks-and-treats left on the House of Pain Halloween Special!

On the aCe stage a long dinner table is surrounded by two teams. On one side of the table stood Count NecrosMaster, SycoMaster, the returning and soaked Greek Zombies, and Deacon Grimcraft who was dressed as Solaris in a long white robe and a long white beard and wig. On the other end of the table there was Esperanto who was dressed in the garb of chains, bandana, and bling of the Blue Steel City gang and Hustler wore a tan gallon hat, a gun holster, and the mustache of the sherrif. Joining Lance Skywalker and Neo Northstar were Nemean who wore a long curly wig and colorful cape of to look like long time television personality Vanity, and Allistar Druxton, who wore an inflatable dinosaur around his waist to make it look like he was riding the animal like GWF favorite Beast-Rider. Sitting across from each other sat Mr. Bloat who wore a chef’s hat and Scorch who wore a Rasta-like outfit of a tie-dyed shirt and a wig of long dreadlocks underneath a small beanie on his head. Placed in front of both Bloat and Scorch were plates of mystery pies.
PainMaster: Hello kiddies! The House of Pain Halloween Special is finally back and we are now here at the Mystery Pie Eating Contest! On one side of the table there is the gruesome genius of grief and gross-out…the demented dignitary from Parts Unknown…stand up kiddies, for the champion of the chew…Mr. Bloat! (Mr. Bloat burped into the direction of Scorch.)
Then there is that miserable masticator….Scorch.
Scorch: HEY! What are you squeaking about over there? You pointy-eared, twisted freak!
And you! (Scorch points towards Mr. Bloat) What in damn, gory, hell, kind of pie do I have in front of me!? I know this ain’t ol’ ma’s Ragnarock chili pie! I bet whatever you got inside these pies its luvsuckin’ disgustin’, just like your luvsuckin’ disgustin’ mug!
Bloat: Haha…BURP…Haha…Your fear of the unknown humors me…I assure you this is the greatest delicacy in all the four corners of the galaxy…A pleasure to be taken slowly in…
(Bloat suddenly smashes the pie against his face and devours it all at once. The remnants of the pie covered Bloat’s face in a gruesome liquid red coat.)
Eat up, Scorch! Take a slice of Mr. Bloat’s Blood Pie!
Scorch: Damn it! I know there was nothin’ good here to eat! You don’t freakin’ joke about grub!
(Scorch picked up a piece of blood pie and sent it sailing towards Bloat. The pie exploded against the face of Bloat, soaking him in the blood filling. Bloat wiped away the pie from his eyes and picked up and launched a pie at Scorch, but the Trailblazer ducked and unexpectedly Allistar Druxton got smacked in the face with the disgusting dessert. Scorch laughed and Duxton screamed in terror as a bloody pie fight erupted on the aCe stage!
Scorch threw several pies onto the head of Bloat as Esperanto and Hustler propelled Sycophant on his stomach down the long dinner table covering the gimp with crimson crust and blood baked goods. Lance and Northstar brawled with the Greek Zombies and covered them in blood pies as the wet zombies slid and slipped on the aCe stage. Nemean kicked Deacon Grimcraft in the gut and shoved the cake down his exposed mouth.)
PainMaster: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!? STOP THIS INSANITY AT ONCE!!! MYSHOW!!! MY PRECIOUS SHOW!!!
(PainMaster picked up Sycophant from the ground.) This is all your fault! You ruined everything, you stupid gimp!
(Nemean came up with a blood pie and threw it at Sycophant, but Sycophant ducked and the pie smashed onto the face of PainMaster, covering him in the red goop.)
Nemean: Super hot look for you, Painy! (Nemean grabbed the microphone from PainMaster.)
Thanks for the giggles grandpa, but your time here is up! YOU LOSE!
BUT you all out there can be winners Nem-A-Maniacs, when you come back next week for an all new…and back to normal episode of…. The Nemean Show!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!!!
The screen goes black and comes back to reveal a close-up of Shepard’s masked face. Godsend’s voice is heard.
Godsend: I pray, as you pray.
As you, the Shepard’s clergy, pray for the everlasting and pure spirit of your faceless preacher…I pray for you…
I pray for those that follow the word of Shepard and the Cathedral…I pray that they would see the error of their ways and the failure of their faith…I pray that they could, and would, break the shackles of morality and mortality and rejoice in the splendor of the eternal sin that is a god’s life!
HOWEVER! The lord of the demons knows that you have not answered his call!
I can feel you….
You continue to believe in the one called Shepard….you continue to reach out to your guide…you continue to pray for his wretched soul…
I MUST show you my power…I MUST open your eyes to the truth and beauty of divine damnation!
Continue to pray sheep if for your will demands it! Look into the Shepard’s eyes as I finally uncover his façade and reveal to the universe the true identity of the holy Vagabond!
(A pair of hands appeared over the head of Shepard and began slowly pulling away his mask. The mask slipped off to show….GODSEND HIMSELF!!! The demon smiled and looked into the camera.)
Godsend: HAHAHAHA! Hahahaha!!!!!
The little trick is all it took!
Shepard will soon come to realize the strength of my word, but for now YOU WILL DO!!
You will ALL do!!!!
Look into my eyes and hear me speak…
You are under my spell…
the spell of the dark voice…
the spell of the true messenger of virtue and righteousness and suffering and pain…
the spell of…
GODSEND!!
Now come with me passed Hell’s Threshold…
You are a part of my black army now…
a member of my Dominion…
for it is too late…
Now go forth and do my bidding…
…the Devil has Spoken…

Gheist vs. Hybrid
The spectral assassin went right after the wild animal that is Hybrid and attacked him with a backside leg sweep, an undercut uppercut, and a rear choke. Hybrid pushed out of the hold and sent Gheist bouncing off the ropes and into a Hybrid shoulderblock that flipped Gheist head over heels. The Primus beast continued on Gheist with a powerbomb into the turnbuckle that sent Gheist flying over the top rope and onto the arena floor.

Gheist pulled off the top of the jack-o-lantern and put his hand inside before he pulled it out and held a black rose in front of himself. Gheist threw the rose down and stomped on it, doing the same to the jack-o-lantern before leaving the ring.

The show came back to a first-person view of walking through woods. The camera focuses on a rundown and dilapidated church. Someone’s hand pushes the door to the church open to reveal Shepard bowing before an altar. Suddenly Godsend comes into the scene with his arms stretched out behind a praying Shepard before the view fades to black.
PainMaster is standing on the aCe stage.
PainMaster: Dared to return kiddies? You want more morbid and macabre tales of monsters and mischief? Well, then you’ve come to the right place. The House of Pain: Halloween Special continues!
We’ve already seen a pair of swimming zombies. Now it’s time to bear witness to something so frightening and disturbing that it could only come from those traitorous tyrants of terror…The Judas Syndicate!
Let’s go to a terrifying trick-or-treat holovid where the Judas Syndicate brought their own brand of carnage and catastrophe to the streets of Centrapolis…
(PainMaster is interrupted by Sycophant walking into the scene wearing a new mask. This time it was PainMaster’s hated enemy, Mandrill! PainMaster screamed, dropped the microphone, and ran through the side door out of the stage area. Sycophant watched Master run way before he slowly took off the Mandrill mask.)
The Judas Syndicate are shown on the streets of Centrapolis among dozens of Centran costumed children and adults trick-or-treating.
General Rankor: Judas Syndicate we are here on the streets of Centrapolis to send a message! The Judas Syndicate will not be overlooked! We will soon control the aCe just like we are about to control the streets of Centrapolis on their precious holiday of Halloween! After we ruin Halloween for all these boys and girls, the aCe will finally realize we are a force to be messed with! I need the both of you machines to follow the General’s orders and steal all the treats on this block! I have found the perfect disguises for the Judas Syndicate! I have read that Halloween originated on that wussy of a planet, Earth. Well, then what better than to look like the wisest and most respected figures of the planet’s history? Put on your costumes Shock Syndicate and get out there! (Flatliner grabbed a curly parted wig from Rankor as Holocaust took a skull cap from the General. Rankor completed the trio by putting a fake moptop on himself. It was General Moe, Larry-Liner, and Curly-Caust!) Flatliner, get everything! Holocaust, don’t spare a child or candybar! The Judas Syndicate declares war on Halloween!!
(A montage is shown of the Shock Syndicate bringing back several items that continuously disappoint Rankor, including stolen space-roamer radios, a Milky Way bar, a copy of Wrestling Wars, a Greg Valentine poster, a holograph of K-Fed Brit-Brit Paris Hilton III’s crotch, an iphone, and Kris Osk.)
General Rankor: You two stooges! You can’t do anything right! Let me show you good-for-nothing robots what stealing and thievery are all about! (Rankor goes to take candy cane from a little girl, but the girl kicks him with a low blow.)
Perfect…Good….That was nothing the Judas Syndicate could use in conquering the universe….Wait! The General sees something up ahead! Ahhh…yes, a bounty worthy of a leader like myself!
(Rankor walked towards the back of a big old lady pushing a twin stroller that a huge bag of treats rest on. Rankor pulled the lady to him and grabbed the bag! However, Rankor then dropped the bag when he saw that the twin babies in the stroller were really Darkness Falls and the old lady in costume was Paganax!
Krypt and Jakyll sprung up from the stroller and attacked Holocaust and Flatliner as Paganax tossed aside the stroller and his costume to do battle with Rankor!
Soon, it was the Darkness Falls running off the Shock Syndicate as Paganax stunned Rankor and sat the General on the stroller before rolling it down the steep Centrapolis street.

The show returns to a shot of some ancient temple where Shepard is being tied down to a stone table by Godsend.
Godsend: Priest! You worship blindly at the feet of false idols and follow the bogus edict of a bygone faith! Where are your Angels!? Where is your messiah now, Priest!!?
(Godsend continued to tie up the appendages of Shepard as he spoke.)
You know not what you desire or are prepared for! God’s Vagabond does not have the power or authority to challenge a Fifth Realm demon like myself!
You have made an eternal mistake Priest! Now you must steady your innocent soul, Shepard…for the time is soon upon us when you and all those that follow your failed message of hope and promise will never again be the same…when they finally view on the true face of the Vagabond Priest known as Shepard!
Tell your sheep Shepard to start praying for your soul…and for their own as well!
The show returns to the aCe studio to show the stage door being opened to reveal a nervous and hesitant PainMaster. PainMaster slowly stepped back to the podium when he sees someone before him off camera.
PainMaster: Ah, MUCH BETTER my sick one. NOW you look appropriate! MORE THAN appropriate! You look HANDSOME! (Sycophant walks on to the shot dressed as PainMaster himself and heads for the arms of his Master.)
You finally made me proud gimp! Nothing can ruin this night for the House of Pain! I’ve led the aCe universe through a night of horrors and atrocities, Sycophant has impressed me with his new fashion sense, and coming up next Mr. Bloat promises to eat Scorch for breakfast in the Mystery Pie Eating Competition!
What a night for the House! Plus, still to come…Godsend will be back for his final act of Armageddon!
But now we are going back to the ring for the House of Pain Halloween Special Monster Mayhem Main Event! It is the aCe tag team champions those devilish demons themselves, the Hellraisers putting up the essence titles against the muscled-up maniacs of NuBorn Destruction!
aCe Tag Team Championship
Monster Mayhem Main Event
aCe Tag Team Champions
The Hellraisers
vs.
NuBorn Destruction
The battle began with all four hellish combatants inside the aCe ring. Nightmare surprised Tekaro out of nowhere with the power of the Shadow Mist and a Dread Lariat as the bell rung. Nightmare continued on Tekaro with an elbow to the head and a couple of chopping thrusts until Tekaro slipped out of a scoop slam attempt by Nightmare and caught the Hellraiser with an Antillian Atomic Drop. Tekaro positioned Nightmare with a double foot stomp, but missed a soaring leg drop. Nightmare nailed Tekaro with Spear of Shadows as the Antillian warrior got to his feet. The demon spirit Nightmare tagged in Darkseed who came into flatten Tekaro with a top rope powerbomb. Darseed roared in delight as he pounded on Tekaro with a huge headbutt, a sledgehammer fist, a Spiked Mace, and a spinebuster slam. The Dominion’s Beast missed a charge into the corner and Tekaro made the tag to Warfare. The massive fighter Warfare entered the ring to go nose-to-nose with the huge demon Darkseed. The two big men traded dual chokes before Darkseed connected with a punch to the throat only to have Warfare fire back with a clubbing fist and a running spear takedown. Nightmare appeared out of nowhere with another Spear of Shadows, but this time the move was dodged as Warfare got out of the way and Nightmare leveled his partner Darkseed by accident. The big devil was sent out of the ring as Warfare followed up on a surprised Nightmare with a devastating Juggernaut Driver. Tekaro ran in with a clothesline on Nightmare with his spear and Warfare climbed to the top rope. The mental maniac Warfare flew off with a flying shoulder tackle that sent Nightmare colliding into the referee. The referee and both Hellraisers were out as NuBorn Destruction signaled for their finisher. Warfare and Tekaro destroyed Nightmare with Extinction Level Event and Tekaro made the cover, but there was no ref to count the pin. Suddenly, Darkseed pulled Warfare under the bottom rope to the floor and blasted him with the aCe tag team title before climbing the apron to the top turnbuckle. With Tekaro still covering Nightmare, Darkseed jumped off the top rope with Belly of the Beast squashing both Tekaro and his partner Nightmare. Darkseed rolled Nightmare out of the way and Tekaro to the middle of the ring and made the cover as the referee awoke to count the pin on Tekaro in 10 minutes and 13 seconds.
After the bell the Hellraisers quickly escaped the aCe ring with their aCe tag team titles as Warfare went for his warhammers. Warfare smashed the referee with the weapon as more referees and officials ran out to suffer the same fate before Warfare was eventually calmed by Tekaro.
Back in the aCe Studio Painmaster orders Sycophant as he sets a long dinner table.
PainMaster: That is right, Sycophant! The eyeball-opener goes directly under the testicle tongues! Very good, my gimp!
When we return, it will be the menacing Mystery Pie Eating Contest, as well as Godsend will be back to give the aCe Universe a very special final message!
So, as my domesticated defective prepares for tonight’s fiendish feast, we will take a break, but be sure to come right back, because there is still plenty more tricks-and-treats left on the House of Pain Halloween Special!

On the aCe stage a long dinner table is surrounded by two teams. On one side of the table stood Count NecrosMaster, SycoMaster, the returning and soaked Greek Zombies, and Deacon Grimcraft who was dressed as Solaris in a long white robe and a long white beard and wig. On the other end of the table there was Esperanto who was dressed in the garb of chains, bandana, and bling of the Blue Steel City gang and Hustler wore a tan gallon hat, a gun holster, and the mustache of the sherrif. Joining Lance Skywalker and Neo Northstar were Nemean who wore a long curly wig and colorful cape of to look like long time television personality Vanity, and Allistar Druxton, who wore an inflatable dinosaur around his waist to make it look like he was riding the animal like GWF favorite Beast-Rider. Sitting across from each other sat Mr. Bloat who wore a chef’s hat and Scorch who wore a Rasta-like outfit of a tie-dyed shirt and a wig of long dreadlocks underneath a small beanie on his head. Placed in front of both Bloat and Scorch were plates of mystery pies.
PainMaster: Hello kiddies! The House of Pain Halloween Special is finally back and we are now here at the Mystery Pie Eating Contest! On one side of the table there is the gruesome genius of grief and gross-out…the demented dignitary from Parts Unknown…stand up kiddies, for the champion of the chew…Mr. Bloat! (Mr. Bloat burped into the direction of Scorch.)
Then there is that miserable masticator….Scorch.
Scorch: HEY! What are you squeaking about over there? You pointy-eared, twisted freak!
And you! (Scorch points towards Mr. Bloat) What in damn, gory, hell, kind of pie do I have in front of me!? I know this ain’t ol’ ma’s Ragnarock chili pie! I bet whatever you got inside these pies its luvsuckin’ disgustin’, just like your luvsuckin’ disgustin’ mug!
Bloat: Haha…BURP…Haha…Your fear of the unknown humors me…I assure you this is the greatest delicacy in all the four corners of the galaxy…A pleasure to be taken slowly in…
(Bloat suddenly smashes the pie against his face and devours it all at once. The remnants of the pie covered Bloat’s face in a gruesome liquid red coat.)
Eat up, Scorch! Take a slice of Mr. Bloat’s Blood Pie!
Scorch: Damn it! I know there was nothin’ good here to eat! You don’t freakin’ joke about grub!
(Scorch picked up a piece of blood pie and sent it sailing towards Bloat. The pie exploded against the face of Bloat, soaking him in the blood filling. Bloat wiped away the pie from his eyes and picked up and launched a pie at Scorch, but the Trailblazer ducked and unexpectedly Allistar Druxton got smacked in the face with the disgusting dessert. Scorch laughed and Duxton screamed in terror as a bloody pie fight erupted on the aCe stage!
Scorch threw several pies onto the head of Bloat as Esperanto and Hustler propelled Sycophant on his stomach down the long dinner table covering the gimp with crimson crust and blood baked goods. Lance and Northstar brawled with the Greek Zombies and covered them in blood pies as the wet zombies slid and slipped on the aCe stage. Nemean kicked Deacon Grimcraft in the gut and shoved the cake down his exposed mouth.)
PainMaster: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!? STOP THIS INSANITY AT ONCE!!! MYSHOW!!! MY PRECIOUS SHOW!!!
(PainMaster picked up Sycophant from the ground.) This is all your fault! You ruined everything, you stupid gimp!
(Nemean came up with a blood pie and threw it at Sycophant, but Sycophant ducked and the pie smashed onto the face of PainMaster, covering him in the red goop.)
Nemean: Super hot look for you, Painy! (Nemean grabbed the microphone from PainMaster.)
Thanks for the giggles grandpa, but your time here is up! YOU LOSE!
BUT you all out there can be winners Nem-A-Maniacs, when you come back next week for an all new…and back to normal episode of…. The Nemean Show!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!!!
The screen goes black and comes back to reveal a close-up of Shepard’s masked face. Godsend’s voice is heard.
Godsend: I pray, as you pray.
As you, the Shepard’s clergy, pray for the everlasting and pure spirit of your faceless preacher…I pray for you…
I pray for those that follow the word of Shepard and the Cathedral…I pray that they would see the error of their ways and the failure of their faith…I pray that they could, and would, break the shackles of morality and mortality and rejoice in the splendor of the eternal sin that is a god’s life!
HOWEVER! The lord of the demons knows that you have not answered his call!
I can feel you….
You continue to believe in the one called Shepard….you continue to reach out to your guide…you continue to pray for his wretched soul…
I MUST show you my power…I MUST open your eyes to the truth and beauty of divine damnation!
Continue to pray sheep if for your will demands it! Look into the Shepard’s eyes as I finally uncover his façade and reveal to the universe the true identity of the holy Vagabond!
(A pair of hands appeared over the head of Shepard and began slowly pulling away his mask. The mask slipped off to show….GODSEND HIMSELF!!! The demon smiled and looked into the camera.)
Godsend: HAHAHAHA! Hahahaha!!!!!
The little trick is all it took!
Shepard will soon come to realize the strength of my word, but for now YOU WILL DO!!
You will ALL do!!!!
Look into my eyes and hear me speak…
You are under my spell…
the spell of the dark voice…
the spell of the true messenger of virtue and righteousness and suffering and pain…
the spell of…
GODSEND!!
Now come with me passed Hell’s Threshold…
You are a part of my black army now…
a member of my Dominion…
for it is too late…
Now go forth and do my bidding…
…the Devil has Spoken…
FADE TO BLACK
