The path is paved with good intention, yet must be endured anyway.

Before the construct four men are fighting for a shot at the world title. A title held by the daughter of Lucifer. Each and every one of them are brimming with sin. Some prideful, others murderous. Sands can hear the countdown and looks down at his feet. His black pearl like eyes shift to the skies as his hands come together in prayer.
" Lord, my you guide my hand on this night, so that I may become your instrument of balance. May my mission not falter, and may it become clear to those that evil has no place in this house any longer. Bless you. Amen."
His words to his ultimate creator complete, the massive Gabriel returned to consciousness. Stepping out from the curtain, Sands walked with purpose wearing a sacramental red robe with black and gold trim. Undoing his black belt, he slipped the garment off making a sign of the cross as he knelt to one knee. Now his savage appearance was revealed to the crowd. Bare chested, hands taped, a golden red mane burning equal to his fury.
" May God have mercy on your souls."
Gabriel stepped inside of the ropes and was met with a punch to his chest courtesy of the Ripper. Mr. Smash used the distraction to find an empty corner, as Jones and Jason recalling just who this man was joined the Ripper in taking him down. Sands locked Ripper's arm and bashed the elbow joint knocking him straight to the mat, as Steve Jones caught the crusader's left boot. Jason fired a shot to Gabriel's outer body sending Sands to the ropes. There the two locked collar and elbow with Sands getting the best of it, and shoving Jason right to the canvas. Jason was quick to his knee, and slid to his feet coming back to Sands, locking with him, and doing some power shoving of his own.
Mr. Smash gripped Steve Jones who was stunned by Sands big boot, and looked as if he would throw him over the top rope first. The madman worked the charlie horse in his elbow clear and rolled to the side of the ropes gripping the bottom rope waiting for the right moment. With Sands to his back the Ripper leapt on top of him driving a hard fist into the back of his red head. The construct sneered, and gripped the Ripper chucking him off of his back sending him right into Jason's path. As the two collided, Sands noticed Mr. Smash and their history came to a head, as the massive hands struck Smash with a right cross into the cheek. Jones fell from Smash's grip right into the top rope and slid back into the ring.
Smash fired back as Gabriel rocked him with another punch. Now the two men exchanged a series of blows looking for an opening. The countdown for the sixth contender began.
