We see a darkened set, with silhouettes visible of a table. A voiceover is heard from Rob Cartwright.
Cartwright: Ladies and gentlemen, he is the host of The Piercing Truth, you know his name, the Icon of Entertainment, the King of Charisma, and the man who in a few days time will be winning the 2017 Outlast Tournament, he is...TRAVIS PIERCE!
“You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell begins to play, and the lights come on to show a chair sitting backwards behind the desk. A monitor behind the chair shows the logo for The Piercing Truth. The chair slow turns around, revealing Travis Pierce.
Pierce: Welcome to the show! I am Travis Pierce, and welcome to a very special edition of The Piercing Truth, did you miss us? Special occasions call for special occasions, and we are here and back on the air. As always, we begin with top stories!
Travis switches to Camera B.
Piece: The reality show that is American politics took another bizarre twist this week when President Trump blasted the NFL and its players regarding the ongoing controversies concerning player behavior during the national anthem. Players have united in telling the president to stick to politics, in spite of the fact that they have no intention to stick to sports. The idea of staying in one’s lane is a divisive one, however it should be noted that as of late there are many new names and faces showing up in UGWC, thinking that they are up to just jumping in the deep end right off the bat. We even have some returning faces, thinking they can leapfrog back to the top. The piercing truth is that the only return to form that is on the horizon is that of Travis Pierce finally reclaiming his place as the World Heavyweight Champion.
Travis switches to Camera A.
Pierce: The Big Bang Theory is one of the highest rated and most popular shows on television today, but did you know that William Shatner once refused to guest star on it? It’s probably because he knows that you shouldn’t just swoop in and steal the spotlight and credit away from people who have been working their asses off with insufficient reward. Yeah, CJ Wylde and JC are back for one night only, part five. Klaus is back. Va...ahem. Kenzi whatever, that person is here. You’ve got all these newcomers. They’re stealing MY spotlight, and it’s time for all eyes on me, where they belong. Guest appearances. MEH.
Travis switches to Camera B.
Pierce: Segue. It’s been one disaster after another, climate debates and controversy, tragedies from hurricanes and earthquakes. The weather is a dangerous thing, so here to give us an update and a current status, is faux-meteorologist Alan Wallace.
The camera cuts to Vain sitting on a stool, staring at the camera.
And staring.
And staring.
And staring.
And staring.
And staring.
Pierce: Vain, buddy? We’re live…
And staring.
And staring.
Vain: He broke my heart.
The camera cuts back to Travis.
Pierce: So a cold front. Delightful. Love your professionalism.
Travis switches to Camera A.
Pierce: The United States flew bombers off the coast of North Korea this week in order to send a message on military options. Strategy in these situations is key, just like team strategy will be key in the Outlast tournament on Monday. Here to provide us with a Point/Counterpoint debate on team strategy, are Donovan Hastings and Zane Scott.
The camera cuts to Zane and Donovan, seated at opposite desks.
Zane: Donovan, the lair is the most important place there is for any actual or aspiring villain. It's the place that he or she plans missions, lives and relaxes, stores his gains, directs his minions and designs it as he likes.
Pierce: Jesus, are we still on this?
Zane: It should have easy access to transportation, have all of the amenities that the world can offer and even a few that are unlikely to be anywhere else, such as a piano playing donkey named Phil. It should be impenetrable from his enemies, welcoming to his friends if he has any and a place of mystery, wonder and even fear to everyone else. This isn't nineteen sixty-five, so it shouldn't look like the "Bat Cave" from the classic Adam West television drama "Batman". It should be a place that inspires and motivates the villain and terrifies everyone else. Finally, it's ok if it's under a major metropolitan airport be that airport in an American city like New York or a foreign city, such as Hamburg, Germany. That displays a mind that thinks ahead and plans for ease of arrival and departure and anyone who mocks that is just short sighted.
Hastings: Zane, you ignorant slut. We all know full well that you prefer to spread your lairs out in multiple locations. A true Lord must focus his time, energy, and resources in a singular and centralized location from which he can oversee all of his affairs, but fashionable promiscuity means nothing to someone like you, Zane, who would jump from lair to lair with the frequency of a cheap ham radio. The only reason you even went to the donkey is because you originally had a monkey, but he got distracted when somebody stuck a banana on his metronome. You say short sighted, and I say, tomato.
The camera cuts back to Travis, who is staring at the pair with his jaw hanging open. He lowers his head and rubs his temples.
Pierce: We’re going to lose…
Travis pulls himself together and switches to Camera A.
Pierce: Yet in the madness, a pinch of sanity and reason. Dave Rydell would have you believe he is embarking upon his ultimate redemption, but so far he is the same loser he always was. Phrixus Deimos hasn’t been relevant in forever, in fact they both owe their entire shreds of relevance this year to their interactions with me. Jessica Mathis? Hayleigh Fear? They’d both be lucky if they even showed up, a pair of never-was whose latest claim to shame is that Dave Rydell saw fit to pick them. Spoiler alert: Don’t be shocked when my entire team advances to the main event. Then? Baal doesn’t stand a chance. Of course, he did just beat Zane. Vain might be rusty. Hastings has had a lot of hiccups this year. You might be worried that our team comes up short, but let me take a moment and remind you who I am.
Travis leans forward.
Pierce: I am the Alpha Travis, and I am your next World Heavyweight Champion. It’s simply how it is. It’s a fact. It’s the truth, and it’s not my fault that the truth...hurts.
”You Know My Name” plays again as we fade out…
