It was a rather dismal day in Tokyo, Japan. Rain had been coming from the heavens for about 3 days straight, the winds hit about 30km/h and above all it was just flat miserable out! Anyone that was brave enough to walk out in the mess that was coming down was a brave soul....either that or off their rocker.
In the midst of the metropolis there was a house that was...”modest”. It wasn't the biggest house on the block but then again it didn't need to be and anyone that walked passed that house knew who lived there. The young man's name? Well it would be Joshua Curtis and the newest signee for the “Dangerous Championship Wrestling League” and he is seen sitting by his bedroom window which is almost ALWAYS open to admire the scenery no matter how dire or desolate the outside looks. It always has a way about calming him and making him feel at peace. The kind of day almost anyone wants to have...
Unless “they” show up!
Who are they? Well to put it plainly “they” are crows! No folks I'm not kidding. If a crow shows up at his window its almost certain that “he” is needed and that is someone Joshua thought he laid to rest YEARS ago!
“He” is the “Dark Angel”: A demented, psychotic and above all dangerous man that when he has taken over Joshua's body in the squared circle he has hurt his opponents badly and barely let them breathe! This part of Joshua's psyche was so dangerous in fact that when he returned to Japan and befriended an American priest named Father Maxwell and his friend Sister Helen he made damn sure that this part would never escape for the cell they buried him in!
This was 12 years ago...
So why are the crows here now? Why did they show up at his window when he was living a peaceful life in the metropolis? Its no secret that in Japan the “Dark Angel” is a folk hero and someone that all the fans in the country worship, but Joshua wanted nothing to do with him after he made him hurt a lot of people in the business!
Joshua took a long look at the crows sitting on the windowsill and he knew what he had to do: Go to the temple that his two friends worked at and get to the bottom of what happened.
As Joshua grabbed his coat and walked out to his car, a 1996 Buick LeSabre Custom , the only thoughts that ran through his head were about the man no...the “spirit” that he met all those years ago in that haunted house and wondered what was going on now. The good news was...he was only 40 minutes from his answer.
40 minutes later...
Curtis' Buick pulled up to the driveway for the temple and the rain had gotten worse! He grabbed his jacket and pulled it closer to him as he walked into the main hall and found Sister Helen waiting for him
Sister Helen – You've been summoned...haven't you?
Joshua Curtis – Well if I wasn't then I wouldn't be here getting soaked. Where is casket we buried him in?
Sister Helen – In the fire room dear friend.
Joshua Curtis – Thanks sister.
Sister Helen – It is our duty to assist you. That is what God directs us to do
Joshua Curtis – Yeah well I wish he would have directed this guy to leave me in peace BUT I'm holding out hope he's learned his lesson.
[Joshua turns and makes the long walk down a hallway to the storied “Fire Room”. THIS is where the “exorcism” of DA from Curtis' body took place over a decade ago. As he slides the door open to the entrance he stares at the elder Father and the individual standing next to him with a cold stare...]
Joshua Curtis – YOU!
Dark Angel – [Smiling] Its been a looong time hasn't it Mr. Curtis?
Joshua Curtis – NOT LONG ENOUGH!!!
[Joshua rears back to swing at DA but Maxwell puts his hand up to stop the punch before it connects with him. Joshua glares at the Priest whom looks as calm as ever before speaking..]
Father Maxwell – You don't think you are going to ACTUALLY be able to hit him now do you Joshua?
Joshua Curtis – Give me one chance and we'll see!
Father Maxwell – [Shakes Head] I'm afraid I can't let you do that.
Joshua Curtis – Why not?
Dark Angel – Because you need me Joshua...now more than ever before!
Joshua Curtis – Have you lost your [BLEEP]ING MIND?!
Father Maxwell – JOSHUA!!!
Joshua Curtis – Sorry Father but that needed to be said!
Dark Angel – So you won't need me for when you go to DCWL then?
Joshua Curtis – Huh? How do you...
Father Maxwell – We DO read the paper every so often you know Joshua.
Joshua Curtis – Fair enough. That place IS a “Satan's Playpen” I hear so...
Dark Angel – So?
Joshua Curtis – Anyone know the first opponent for me in the place?
DA – That would be “The Great Atma”. Your first opponent and OUR first victim!
Joshua Curtis – Indeed. Well it looks like we have to get back in the saddle huh?
DA – You remember how this goes?
Joshua Curtis – Yeah...and you don't feel a thing!
With that said Joshua shook hands with DA and for the last time Joshua Curtis was the truly “happy go lucky' kid everyone knew. Now Joshua Curtis has died...
And the “Dark Angel” is flying once again!
