While Dark Matter was fighting Declan McGinnis in his first match to be the inaugural AWS American Champion, Drake Nygma, the man Dark Matter is supposed to face on Monday Night Ward, hit him on the head with a chair, causing him to be the first to be eliminated.  After the flashback/recap, Dark Matter is seen backstage cutting a promo.

"I don't know if you'll still be the AWS American champion by the time we meet at Monday Night Ward for our match, Drake Nygma, but either way, I will show the world how inept you are to represent any nation, much less the United States of America.  You speak with voices in your head and ignore other voices around you.  When the bell rings, you can ignore me all you want, it'll only guarantee your demise..."

 

A flash of light, that which shimmers like the opening of a great portal breaches the air. Amidst the ethereal energy of the portal a figure can be seen obscured by shadows. Those Shadows acting like a second skin. Like armour.

Thus the light broke, darkness taking its place. A darkness that showed no signs of breaking. Signs that it never would be broken. Pale eyes gleamed, a look of unquestionable hunger residing there.

“As good as we once were, that’s how far we have fallen. Our eyes have been opened. No longer do we accept the lies laid out like a feast. This theatricality, this performance is but a prelude to that which we value above all.”

The gleam deepened, grew immeasurably stronger, suggesting a secondary presence lingering below the surface. This gleam was empty of light, chilling composure held true in every word delivered.

“Run. Run. Run. Run. Run along little rabbits. It is said that every man wears two masks, the one he presents day to day. And his true mask. The one that represents who he truly is, that second mask allows that which is dark to come out and play. We however know differently, that first mask is the lie, that grandest of deceptions.”

Slow relaxed breaths surged forth, displaying an entity that seemed to be at ease with who they are.

“Dark Matter. You are young, a bright future could be yours. We wonder how the darkness will change you. Darkness changes everything, corrupting the light until only the truth remains. We are so much lovelier when we fall. You can only fight the truth for so long. Eventually you all will figure out that purity is a lie, that playing the role of a would-be hero will only harm you in the long run.”

Amused laughter slipped out, a thin smirk was all that could be seen. Tendril like vines crawled up the cracked walls of the modern looking castle that came into view, a castle sheathed in an obsidian darkness. In the very centre of this castle lay a gleaming white throne, the only hint of light in this eerie landscape.

“All that you dream shall be turned to ash. We shall exploit that which you fear. On with the show. Buried in your bones, that flesh-like form you know we speak the truth. Minds can be broken, torn apart in a flash. We prefer to destroy the minds of those we fight, after all a body can heal. The mind never forgets the horror it experiences. We know this to be the single most obvious truth.”

Drake’s narrowed eyes turned in the direction of the portal, catching a glimpse of the black clad figure standing no less than a few feet away.

A moment of silent communication seemed to be taking place as Drake took several steps forward, a lack of fear present in his eyes.

“It is a fantastic plan. We have a fantastic plan. Let me take over, let me guide your hand, guide our hand. We’ve seen how you’ve suffered, how you’ve endured that which threatened to drive you mad. Together we could remind the waking world of all they’ve forgotten. The perils of obedience. What say you? Will you lay your humanity at our feet and accept the darkness?”

Drake Nygma offered a chilling smile, a swift nod as he spoke.

“Yes I shall accept the darkness. I shall lay my humanity at your feet. I want to show them the perils of obedience. As i suffered, so too shall they”

“Sphinx. Sphinx. Ask me why. Ask me whither goes the wind. Whence the endless tick-stream begins. Sphinx. Sphinx ask me why, All mothers beneath the Earth and sky Hold their children’s hands for a while, their hearts forever - yours and mine .Make me guess who’s the one Behind the mask of Father and Son.Make me wonder what’s the meaning of life. Challenge The Sphinx and you shall see…”

All this left the question, who or what had taken control of Drake Nygma.

“The Sphinx has come, we have come. Our Darkness is awake, punishment is our goal, of this we are certain. There are many faces to be punished, many minds to break.  a darkness older than this mortal world has come to life”

 “Even more fascinating is the chance to observe a rising star up close. New knowledge shall be gained from this encounter, we shall test the limits of your skill, the eyes of the ancient world are now studying you , fate it seems has chosen to put you to the biggest test of your life"

An eerie whisper coiled and uncoiled through the air as this mysterious entity known as The Sphinx walked through the glowing portal, an unsettling silence following this movement. Thus this new darker entity seemed unhinged and yet at the same time…. There was something deliberate about the way this entity acted and spoke.

“I did not start off with this dark ambition, this desire to crush all beneath my hand. I only wanted to remind the waking world of all they had forgotten. To make them remember the old ways. The way events have fallen have proven only one thing, you wish me to be your villain. So be it. We shall play the role of villain.
