Back outside with our Hardcore Heroes, they've arrived where The Hardcore Animals were thrown off the bridge. The scene was black and white, like a noir…
"The dumpster was still warm…and wet…" Psymon said in his head, "These former Hardcore Champions…and myself, the ever handsome and brilliant mind that is Psymon Stark…were hot on the trail of The New Nation. Huey Freeman and his boys (and girls) sent those animals to a grave so awful, Annie Frazier would have a seizure. These kids (and one 70s loving jive brotha) were on the run from us. Somehow they keep outrunning us. I can't even fathom how they can still know when we're coming, even WITHOUT us on TV or them being near a TV set. But rest assured…I, Psymon Stark, will lead our team to total victory."
Psymon looked over at Senji and Tommy arguing over whether to use police procedural or guns blazing to try and search for The Nation 2.0. Aries was about to flip over his own car, and was slamming Spin around in the process.
"…It seems they need my brain power. They need me. They wouldn't survive without my help. But I am gracious enough to help my lower IQ hardcore brothers. If they need me, I'll help their tiny minds along the-"
"PSYMON…" Vercetti yelled out, snapping Stark out of his trance as the scene went to full color, "…we can hear EVERYTHING you're SAYING…"
Senji deadpanned at Psymon, and shook his head. "Dumbass."
"BACK TO THE CAR, WE NEED TO RIDE! CATCH THAT NATION!" Aries yelled, throwing Spin onto the bumper. The hedgehog was dazed…but probably wanted a break. Senji and Tommy followed Aries into his new souped up Infuego, and Psymon sighed while staring into the water.
"…Wherever you are Nation…fear your impending doom…" He said silently. "Fear-"
"PSYMON COME ON!" Screamed a very irritated Senji, prompting Psymon to amble over to the car.
"…So is there progress being made?" Dash asked.
"No." Jim Ross replied bluntly, he and King back at commentary.
"There's as much progress being made here as Valve with Half-Life 3." King said, "…You kids got that, right? I was told that was relevant to you."
"Yeah I think they got it, Mr. King." Dash shrugged.
We go backstage…
…and Gary Oak (getting a huge pop) is sitting on a bench, mentally preparing himself for what comes next. It was all going down. Him vs. Blue. But Gary got an unexpected visitor…
…"Gary…"
The fledgling professor looked up to see his visitor…and nodded. "…Hey Gramps."
Indeed, it was Professor Oak (who also got a sizeable pop), and he had a look of extreme worry on his face. Gary got up and gave his grandfather a hug, and then asked, "What's up?"
Prof. Oak, he shrugged and looked at Gary, "…Gary…I…I'll cut to the chase…please don't go too hard on your brother tonight."
SURPRISED by this request, Gary's head jerked back a bit. "Wh-Wha-What? Gramps? The heck? You know I can't do that. Blue's had this coming to him for a long time. He ISN'T about to be let off the hook. I don't care what he and Red do. That's THEIR business. I'm sick of everyone trying to make this 'Blue's Redemption Tour'. What I got with Blue ISN'T related to Red. Hearing it from Blue is one thing…he's nuts. Hearing it from others INDULGING Blue…that's giving power to the ramblings of a crazy man. I'm not about to 'go easy' on him, Gramps. He needs somebody to give his head a few poundings. I'll drag him BACK to the family and BACK to sanity if need be. It BOTHERS me, Gramps. It BOTHERS me how people have actually INDULGED HIM. YOU DON'T INDULGE A CRAZY PERSON. You don't give into their sick fantasies! But that's what many have DONE for Blue! I can't let him screw up any more people…or himself."
"Gary PLEASE…" Prof. Oak was starting to plead, his hands together in a prayer/begging gesture, "Gary he's not WELL, you said it yourself. He isn't SANE. He's LOSING HIS MIND, if he hasn't lost it already. He was always competitive but taking competition THIS FAR, he…he had some psychological breakdown from losing a lot, I understand, but Gary you CAN'T INJURE YOUR OWN BROTHER…let alone your own TWIN. WE CAN'T LET THE CYCLE CONTINUE. YOU have to be the one to break it. You can't BEAT him down like an animal, forcing him to say those words because HE WILL NEVER SAY THEM. He would rather die than say them. Gary, YOU have to be the bigger man. YOU have to be the bigger brother. You need to end this PEACEFULLY…"
'Peacefully'?...Gramps this is wrestling. We don't do peace here." Gary said.
Prof. Oak was nearing his wits end with this, putting his hands on his forehead, "Well maybe you NEED to TRY doing it for once! Gary, is this about your own ego? Why do YOU need this?"
"Gramps, the question, why does BLUE need it?...Let's face it…we both got egos. Blue and me, we're cut from the same privileged stone. The only difference is, HIS ego got crushed by Red while I was able to win. And then he had a tantrum and went on a freakish tirade for a decade, even turning my own SISTER against me because I had commitments I couldn't make because of WRESTLING. Gramps, Blue doesn't DESERVE mercy or grace. People like him deserve PUNISHMENT. What he's done to split this family and make everyone give us dirty glares is UNFORGIVABLE. I'm TIRED of his whining and complaining about his losses and all that. GET. OVER. IT. He has everything ELSE in the world, but he complains over not beating Red or me being treated a bit better? Guess what? That's LIFE. That's the TOUGH way to put it, but that's how it is. But having a HISSY FIT over it is flat out unacceptable. He needs to grow up and learn you can't always get what you want. That's LIFE. You gotta move on with your life. Try something ELSE. But he wants to be selfish and, family be DAMNED, screw up OUR Oak name. You want me to CONDONE that and give him something he doesn't DESERVE?... Feed into his ego a bit more?..."
Professor Oak shook his head, groaning internally at this extremely touchy situation..."…No…I just think…if you lay aside your own pride this ONE time…and end this peacefully…we could save this family…THAT'S all…"
"Hmph…put an L in MY loss column for HIM, AND possibly still screw up the family?...No thanks Gramps. Smell ya later." Gary got up from his bench and walked out of the room, leaving a very distraught Prof. Oak to…actually sit on the bench himself and start to break down. His face in his hands, he starts to cry…uncertain about the future of his own family…
…and then we go BACK to the ring…and the bell tolls for the beginning of this affair…
"The following match is an I Quit Match!...But the winner MUST beat their opponent SO MERCILESSLY, SO BLOODY, SO SENSELESS, that they have to say to their brother, their own FLESH AND BLOOD, 'You Are The Better Twin'…" Gadget REALLY laid it on thick there, not entirely being very courteous to the more sensitive members of the audience (or the Oaks)…lovable oaf. "…Sounds ENTERTAINING!"
"Oh yeah it does! Nothing sounds better than some 'ole folks BEATING THE SNOT OUTTA EACH OTHER!" Sam exclaimed.
"WHAT? You sick man? These are BROTHERS…TWINS…this match won't be awesome, it'll be tragic…" Dash said. "I could never imagine fighting my friends…"
"Yeah, but these aren't friends…these are twins…" JR said. "I had to call Jeff vs. Matt years ago, and it is NEVER easy to call these matches with two brothers."
…
The drums to "Unsettling Differences" by Blue Smock Nancy play, and the crowd knows who's new music this is…
"Here we GO…" Dash said.
I ain't your friend,
And you're not mine,
This difference,
Helps me cross the line,
BLUE OAK walks out…wearing jeans and a blue tank top…and keeping an eternal scowl on his face. The crowd gave him half boos and half cheers, because some supported him and some didn't…but he didn't care. He had ONE thing on his mind tonight…retribution…
"Coming to the ring first; representing UCA; Blue Oak!"
Every time I'm confronted,
I'm unafflicted by my actions,
"I think Blue Oak has done EVERYTHING one human being can do in their career in UCA. Rumbles, World Titles, Intercontinental Titles, the first Cruiserweight Champion, Hardcore Champion in UCA, Tag Titles, he has done it ALL…but he hasn't beat Red." JR said. "And that was the catalyst that sent him down a swirling tornado of unchecked emotions and rage. This match won't be for the faint of heart, but not for the last match's reasons. The last match was brutal and unsettling…but this one…will be something sad. A family torn apart."
Suffering is the result of the game,
Victory at the cost of pain,
Like a freight train,
You're tied to the tracks,
No way to escape, there's no coming back,
The camera pans out, showing the scope of the metallic Roman/Greek themed arena, the long ramp Blue is walking down, and the large crowd chanting FOR or AGAINST Blue…
"Gary and Blue…they're the same person." King said. "They BOTH have egos. They had 'em since they were kids. Just Gary backed up his ego against his rival and Blue couldn't. He was a competitive one."
"That is true, they BOTH got some huge egos." Sam said, "Blue's ego just couldn't catch up to his reality though. So he went NUUUTTY. I just wanna see Gary win so our company gets another POINT."
You're in my way,
And I haven't got the time today,
Best you walk away,
And live to fight another day
"Blue is so talented…I don't get WHY he thinks he NEEDS this. You have so much. What's one more accolade? HBK couldn't beat Taker at Mania. HHH couldn't beat Taker period. And Hogan couldn't beat Taker. …Wow people can't beat Taker… Maybe he should just be HAPPY with what he has." Dash sighed. "I don't GET IT."
"Some people just have a craving for what they can't have or don't have." JR said, "He just wants to beat Red…and he wants to beat Gary so he can finally say he beat…his demons?"
"But WHAT demons?" King asked. "Gary isn't a demon that's his damn BROTHER. He shouldn't equate his brother to a DEMON because of stuff that happened in their childhood. HE made these demons. His head is a MESS. He doesn't need a match he needs psychiatric HELP."
Nothing personal, I just don't care,
Won't bother explaining,
It goes nowhere,
Just know that tomorrow won't come,
If I end things today,
"Maybe he DOES King…but until then, he has his mind on this match…and so do his followers and fans." Courage said as the camera panned to the crowd…
We see Ninja Kyle, William Dunbar, and Whitney in the crowd…the latter looking very…distraught…
Suffering is the result of the game,
Victory at the cost of pain,
Like a freight train,
You're tied to the tracks,
No way to escape, there's no coming back,
Blue gets into the ring, no theatrics needed. He needs no special gimmicks right now…he only needs one more person…
…and he comes in when The FireRed/LeafGreen Rival Encounter Theme plays to huge cheers and boos, supporters of Gary or booers of Gary…
"And his opponent; representing WCW; Gary Oak!" Gadget announced as Gary stepped onto the stage in purple pants and a black tank top.
"Gary Oak, the first of The Pallet 4 to win a World Title, beating TJ Detweiler and becoming The Corporate Champion alongside Vince's other man, The Rock!" JR said. "Similarities in their careers, Blue and Gary. BOTH have faced their rivals in Ironman Matches for World Titles. Gary vs. Ash at Survivor Series '98 with Gary winning at the LAST second…and Red vs. Blue at Royal Reckoning 2003 in the longest Ironman in history, with Red winning at 80 plus minutes after double overtime. ALSO in January of 2003, Gary Oak faced Ash Ketchum to unify the Cartoon and Toon Titles, and Gary became The FIRST Toon World Champion. BOTH had their greatest matches in 2003 of January."
"Their GREATEST triumphs…Gary becoming the first Cartoon World Heavyweight Champion and Toon World Champion…and Blue and '2005', creating his own World Title and reigning for a year, the longest Title reign for its time before Mario broke it, and ruling UCA with The Rival Empire." Courage said.
"Yeah after Blue injured Red with an ambush." Dash said, "It would have NEVER happened if Red was there! And when Red came back he KILLED Blue's reign and stable."
"But you can't deny the GREATNESS he had in that year." Sam said, "Son of a gun was still talented and beat everyone in his way."
"Well let's not excuse Gary out of making this feud as well. His own ego was shot after it was revealed HIS own career, compared to Blue's, was not as adequate as Blue had eleven good years to his six." Courage said. "But Gary left more for his own work than Blue. Gary travels the world, training to be a Pokemon professor. But he still took it to heart, and soon got over it after healing from his own concussion. He said he had some growing up…but let's face it…Gary's ego is STILL there."
"And the ego won't die in EITHER of them." JR said, "Folks, it's hard enough to say 'I Quit'. But saying, 'You're The Better Twin' takes more mouth movements. The opponent would have to be BEYOND the realm of DEFEAT in order to say that. There won't BE a winner in this, as Professor Oak once said. There will not BE a true victory in this match. It's just a matter of, 'Who's Going to Be Stretchered Off Before the Match is Done'?"
"Gary said he wants to bring Blue BACK to the family and mend them…and he wants to do it by BEATING the SNOT out of Blue until he's given up…is it possible?" Courage asked.
The music dies as Gary steps into the ring…the rowdy crowd either chanting, "MF'IN OAK!" or "BLUE! BLUE! BLUE!" The brothers glare at each other from across the ring…and then step closer. Gary and Blue, twins born together…are about to bleed together…
…
*DING DING DING*
"HERE WE GO!" Dash exclaimed.
Blue and Gary continued the stare off…two legends of their own companies…two trained by the biggest heels of their times (Daffy for Blue, Vegeta for Gary)…two brothers together since conception, split from the same cell…
…START OFF THE FIGHT WITH A SLAP TO THE FACE FROM BLUE TO GARY…and Gary holds his cheek…
"OH…you could see the skin cells SLAPPED OFF of Gary." Dash said.
Gary holds his cheek and growls…and then responds with his OWN CHEEK SLAP! Blue holds his cheek, with Gary having put a little more mustard in it. "YOU GOT ONE MORE CHANCE BLUE…I'M GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO GIVE UP SO WE CAN MOVE ON…"
…and Blue responds with…"GO TO HELL…" and DECKS Gary in the jaw with a nice right hook, so Gary comes back with his own right hook! And NOW THE BRAWL IS ON! THE TWO BROTHERS TRADE RIGHTS AND LEFTS!
"THIS IS NO BACKYARD SCHOOL BRAWL! NO FIGHT OVER THE LAST COOKIE! THIS IS ABOUT RESPECT, RETRIBUTION, FAMILY, THIS IS ABOUT WHO TRULY IS THE BETTER TWIN!" JR exclaimed.
Gary starts gaining the upperhand, keeping on Blue with rights and lefts and backing him into the ropes! Blue pushes Gary off and runs to him, and gets a Back Body Drop RIGHT onto the mat! Gary puts Blue in a Rear Naked Choke and immediately tries to get him to submit. Gary yells for the ref to ask him, and referee Chuck Woodson (he's a short guy with big dreams to make it in this business, wife & kids, optimistic) asks Blue if he wants to quit…of course Blue replies with, "No!", and Blue starts trying to find ways out of the hold. He IS starting to choke a bit, but he manages to start rolling himself and Gary over to the ropes. He gets under them…and then falls on the ringside floor on TOP of Gary, getting him to let go.
Gary gets up, and Blue grabs onto him and THROWS HIM SHOULDER FIRST ONTO THE BARRICADE! Gary holds his shoulder, and Blue runs and BOOTS Gary's head RIGHT into the barricade! Gary holds his head, and Blue lifts him to his feet…and SNAKE EYES ONTO THE BARRICADE! Gary holds his head even more, groaning in pain as Blue backs up…and then runs…and GARY REVERSES THE BOOT INTO A CAPTURE SUPLEX OVER THE BARRICADE!
Blue is writhing at the feet of what seems to be their sister April…and Dunbar.
"OOPH, right in front of their own sister.' King said.
"She must be DISTRAUGHT by this. Gary and Blue…Gary chasing Blue into the crowd." JR said.
Gary goes into the crowd and says, "I'm SORRY, sis." And then STOMPS OUT Blue on the ground before picking him up and throwing him into a few more chairs! The crowd makes way as Blue stumbles about in the crowd, pushing away several crowd members in order to get away. Gary gives chase, and TAKES HIMSELF AND BLUE OVER THE BARRICADE OVER TO SIDE OF STAGE! Gary gets up, but Blue is slower to stand. Gary grabs Blue and YANKS him up by his spiky hair RIGHT FOR A KNEE TO THE JAW! Gary stumbles and holds his jaw, and Blue sends his brother over to the electric equipment. Gary shakes his head, and Blue grabs his head and SLAMS his head into the electric board! Sparks fly up a bit and Blue LOVES that…he continues to SLAM AND SLAM his head into the electric equipment, sparks FLYING up from the control panel!
"OH LORD!" Exclaimed JR, "Blue's trying to COOK GARY!
Blue tells referee Woodson to ask Gary as he himself pulls his brother up onto the control panel. "SAY IT! SAY IT!" Blue yells…and Gary shakes his head, "HELL…NO…". This was music to Blue's ears though. Meant he could lift Gary from a Standing Headscissors upside…
"Oh nooo nononono Blue no no!" JR shouted, "BLUE THIS IS TOO MUCH!"
…AND BLUE PILEDRIVES GARY ONTO THE PANEL, SENDING SPARKS AND LIGHTNING FLYING EVERYWHERE! THE LIGHTS SPARK IN AND OUT ON THE TITANTRON!
"GOOD LORD! WE AREN'T EVEN TEN MINUTES IN YET!" JR screamed.
"ALREADY OUT THE GATE AND WE HAVE THEM ALREADY MAIMING EACH OTHER!" King exclaimed.
"SPORTS ENTERTAIN ME YOU GLADIOTORS! FIGHT TO THE DEATH!" Yosemite Sam exclaimed.
Blue got burned on that deal as well…but Gary's head was covered in soot, and he was coughing out smoke. Blue got up, and he said, "I'm gonna make you SCREAM…" to himself. He yanks Blue up and runs with him and THROWS HIM LIKE A RAGDOLL INTO THE STAGE BACK FIRST! Gary's neck and spine are on FIRE, and Blue picks him up AGAIN and throws him onto the stage. Gary tries getting up on the stage, but Blue grabs him and yanks him up to his feet. Blue asks Gary if he gives up…and of course Gary refuses…so Blue sets him up AGAIN…and he wants another Piledriver…AND HE'S LOOKING TOWARDS OFF THE STAGE…
"BLUE YOU'RE GONNA BREAK THE DAMN NECK! STOP! STOP!" Dash exclaimed.
"HE DON'T CARE! HE CARE ABOUT WINNING! BUT DURNIT BLUE PICK AN ALTERNATIVE!" Sam shouted.
…
…
…
…however, Gary manages to PULL HIMSELF UP to Blue's shoulders and does a Cruiserweight move on HIM, HEADSCISSORING HIM OFF THE STAGE AND RIGHT ON HIS HEAD ON THE HARD FLOOR!
"GOOD…OUCH…" Courage cringed, "These guys don't care WHAT they damage! Gary with an ironic move, nailing a normally Light-Heavyweight based move on the first UCA Cruiserweight Champion!"
"Pain is NOTHING for two men possessed by egos and years of pent up aggression!" Sam said.
Gary sees Blue get up…and he himself stumbles backwards away from him…and then runs forward and JUMPS OFF TO NAIL AN EBLOW TO A STANDING BLUE, SENDING HIM BACK ONTO THE HARD FLOOR! Gary gets up, and he walks over towards a bin…and pulls out a kendo stick. "BLUE…GIVE UP…SAY IT…" he yells out…and Blue REFUSES…and so Gary WHACKS him over the back with a kendo stick! He does this a second time…but then realizes…this helps NO ONE…Gary also heard someone in the crowd yell out, "GANSO BOMB!"…and Gary exclaims, "OVERRATED"…and grabs the legs of Blue…and upon twisting them into place…he leans back and LOCKS IN A MUTA LOCK AIDED BY THE KENDO STICK! HE'S CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF BLUE! BLUE'S FACE SHOWS HE IS IN PURE DISTRESS AND PAIN, AND CAN BARELY GET ANY AIR IN HIS LUNGS!
"HE'S CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF BLUE! AND HE AIN'T ABOUT TO QUIT! I KNOW IT!" Dash shouted.
"He NEEDS TO! If Blue wants to make it out of this ALIVE HE HAS TO…HE COULD BREAK HIS DAMN NECK!" King shouted.
"ASK HIM! ASK THE MAN!" Gary shouted, and Blue BARELY seemed like he could speak! "Blue do you quit?" The frazzled ref asked, kissing a picture of his two sons and one daughter (beautiful kids, one plays junior varsity football, one loves to draw, and the youngest daughter is the light of his world). Blue…well he SOMEHOW MANAGES TO REPLY…"NO…"…and Gary JUST WRENCHES THE NECK EVEN MORE! AND BLUE…HE TRIES POWERING OUT WITH ALL HIS MIGHT…and he finally gains SOME TRACTION…and, with one big rush of adrenaline, MANAGES TO BREAK THROUGH THE KENDO STICK PARTIALLY…but this slight snap allows him some freedom to escape the hold! Blue rolls away from Gary, coughing and spitting out mucous and saliva. Gary, discarding his broken weapon, glares at Blue while formulating more plans to get him to quit. He walks towards Blue and picks him up BUT ONLY GETS A BLOWTORCH TO BLIND HIM!
"OH NO! BLOWING A TORCH IN THE DAMN EYES OF HIS OWN BROTHER!" JR exclaimed.
"SWEET CELESTIA!" Exclaimed Dash exclaimed, "GARY MAY BE BLIND!"
Gary stumbles about, holding his eyes and SCREAMING in pain…and Blue runs to his back and BULLDOGS HIM ON THE EDGE OF THE STAGE! He rolls and holds his face, rolling around in pain. And when he moves his hands, we see his face was CUT by the Blue's Bulldog! His head had a cut across the forehead, and he slowly gets up onto the stage. He slowly gets up, and Blue grabs his head and SLAMS it into the stage. Blue picks up Gary, and deadlifts him INTO A FALLAWAY SLAM ONTO THE STAGE! Gary tries standing up, and Blue KICKS him in the temple! "QUIT, GARY! ADMIT I'M BETTER! SAY IT YOU BASTARD SAY IT!" Gary shakes his head…and yells, "NO, SHUT UP!" Blue looks at referee Woodson (who LOVED his job so much; it took years to get here and he didn't want to lose his job through any awful means…his family needs him) and yells at him! "ASK HIM! ASK HIM!" But the ref says Gary does NOT want to give in…and Blue GRABS HIM BY THE COLLAR AND THROTTLES HIM!
"HEY LET HIM GO BLUE HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!" JR exclaimed.
Blue THROTTLES THE REFEREE…
…and then GARY TACKLES HIM OFF OF THE REFEREE! AND GOES POUNDING ON THE FACE OF BLUE! "STOP! BRINGING OTHERS! INTO YOUR BUSINESS!" Gary got up and STOMPED on Blue's head…and then picked him up and lifted him onto his shoulders. He runs towards the MiniTron AND SLAMS HIS HEAD INTO THE SCREEN! Gary drops Blue, and is just not sure how to get Blue to give in…
…but even on the ground, Blue is ASKING THE REF IF GARY WANTS TO QUIT…
"Is…is Blue crazier than we thought?" Dash asked. "He's on the ground, ASKING if Gary wants to quit!"
"That headshot scrambled his brains worse than Caboose in season 1." King said. "…I was told you kids got that one."
Gary shrugs and says, "NO YOU IDIOT…" and he STOMPS-no one, because Gary gets a push into the Tron. Gary's back and neck hit the screen, and the pain from the Piledriver comes back as he holds his back WHEN BLUE CHARGES AND SPEARS GARY AND HIMSELF RIGHT THROUGH THE MINITRON, DESTROYING THE SCREEN AND PROJECTION AS SPARKS AND A FIRE FLY EVERYWHER!
"GOOD GOD! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!" JR exclaimed. "BLUE SENT HIS OWN BROTHER INTO HELL *Sparks still fly around* BAH GAWD!"
THE CROWD IS JUST SHOUTING,"HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!"
"THERE'S A FIRE! A FIRE! SOMEBODY GET SOME DAMN HELP OUT HERE!" King exclaimed.
"BLUE ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED TO QUIT! HE ASKED HIM! BUT DURNIT I DIDN'T THINK HE HAD THE POWER TO DO THAT!" Sam shouted.
"OH CRAP..." Ash shouted from the audience as he ran from the audience, trying to enlist any stars' help for the situation.
Red...he did NOTHING...he just stood there in the back...why? ...Because he'll be damned if he helps BLUE.
"SHIT SHIT SHIT..." Tidus growled as he got up and went over to the situation as well.
17 sighed...and decided to help. "Come on 18...after all, I'm tired of watching this CRAP..." 17 stood up and 18 nodded in silent agreement before following her brother.
"OH NO NO NO NOOOOO!" Gold exclaimed as he jumped over his seat, and ran over to the situation.
"Oh shit. Guys I'll be back!" Justin told his friends as he ran to the stage.
"Okay this has gone far enough." Hernan muttered while running to the stage.
"AHA! I TOLD YOU! I TOOOOLD YOU!" Kai exclaimed, proud of being right. "HE ASKED HIM TO GIVE UP, HE REFUSED, AND SO HE MUST BURRRRRRN!" Kai gave the sign of the cross…and before Jonathan could say a word (which he hardly could because he was choking on his own heart right now) Jeremy patted him on the shoulder and said, "I got it, bro…" moving past him to check on the two Oaks.
The Rainbooms just gasp in shock and horror at the Spear, this was certainly not a side of wrestling they were expecting to see. And in the back the older versions of the Digidestined of Hope and Light just stood and watched the monitor in silence, O-TK holding O-Kari close. Upon seeing stars moving from their seats to help the blonde officer looked at O-K. "I'm going out there. Stay back here, okay?"
She shook her head, "Not a chance," before running on ahead. O-TK sighed and shook his head while following her, one thought on his mind.
"Hopefully we're not just pulling out corpses."
From the back came Renji, Kevin (EEnE), Kevin Levin and Muscle Man, Ace Bunny and Rev Runner to assist.
"You think we should help?" Dan asked. ; "I would but I just got all this food and I really don't want to get back up..." Arin replied, taking a bite out of his nacho
"...Stay here." Jason told a horrified Annabeth before rushing out of the audience to aid the Oaks; one of the only selfless things you'll EVER see him do.
GT Goku: Oh no, they didn't die from that, did they? O_O
GT Gohan: I'm gonna be right back. *Gets up and heads for the stage*
GT Goku: Same. I hope they're okay... *Gets up and heads to the stage with GT Gohan*
Gumball: *Starts clapping* And that's how you settle a feud.
Darwin: I hope that this doesn't happen to me and Gumball.
Drew, Hiccup and Lubbock run down to check as well with the others
COMMENTARY WENT SILENT…AND SEVERAL STARS FROM THE AUDIENCE AND THE TRAINERS AND OTHER WORKERS RAN OUT…
…and the crowd goes SILENT…
…stars from Tidus to Android 17 and 18, Gold, O-TK, Justin Stewart, Hernan Ortiz, Jeremy Ellis, Ace Bunny, Muscle Man, Rev Runner, Kevin (EEnE), Kevin Levin, Renji, Jason Grace, Drew Cage, Hiccup Haddock, Lubbock, GT Gohan, GT Goku, and WWE stars and legends…even Daffy Duck and Vegeta themselves run out to check on their old charges. Rubble needs to be cleared…and Gary and Blue seem to be barely moving…
"...It's a damn shame to see family have to do this..." JR said, the only word commentary said during this moment.
Vegeta goes with some stars to help Gary up...while Daffy and other stars try to help Blue out of the rubble...
…
…BLUE THROWS RIGHT HANDS…but they connect to no one…"LET ME GO…LET ME THE HELL GO, THIS MATCH ISN'T OVER!" Gary smirks in his own pile with his handlers. The crowd cheered, happy to see them okay…and then the bloodthirsty fans asked for the match to CONTINUE…
…
…and Gary just weakly nods…HE wants it to continue…and we know BLUE does too…and Blue tries moving past his crew…and Gary tries to move, but he stumbles…"LET ME GO…" Blue shouted…HE was covered in soot and burned…and so was Gary…but Blue seemed in a MUCH better state than Gary…but even GARY wanted the match to continue. Blue heard GT Goku and PUSHED him away as soon as he suggested ending the match. He starts pushing through his handlers, not even CARING who was holding him! "BRING IT…BRING IT…"
Gary told Jeremy to shut up, and then Blue told Jason to shut up…at the same time…weird twin stuff…
…but the ONLY person with the authority to restart this match was Chuck Woodson. A wholesome man with wholesome values. HE wanted to end this match…but Chuck JUST got this job…and he heard the fans…and he heard the competitors…
"…Referee deciding if the match should CONTINUE or not…" Dash said, "I say end it."
"Agreed. Don't let this keep going." King said.
Chuck gulped…he was NOT sure what to do…he WASN'T…let these two heal…or let the entertainment continue…he was at dire straits...he was nervous…this was his BIGGEST TEST as a referee to date…if he let this continue…he would have blood on his hands…Blue and Gary were too hot to listen to ANY of the advice…and he heard stars telling him to end the match…
"I SAID SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU!" Blue SCREAMED at every star talking. Daffy said, "Kid, you got a GREAT CAREER! LET IT GOOO!" Vegeta…
"…Let 'em fight." He said, "…They won't solve this without violence…"
"SHUT UP!" Blue actually DECKED Tidus in the jaw, and continued PUSHING through the wall of people! He didn't care AT ALL…he would PUNCH THROUGH ANYONE to get to Gary…and Gary just GOADED him on…
…but the crowd shouted, "ONE MORE MATCH! ONE MORE MATCH!"…and Gary and Blue were close to BREAKING THROUGH…
…finally…Chuck remembered that this could be remembered for all time…and he could be the referee who refereed said match…he could get even more press…and press was money for the family…and he was a family man…and he could get more referee opportunities for big moments…he could be Earl Hebner or Lil' Naitch Charles Robinson…
…so he raised his hands and said, "RING THE BELL! THIS MATCH IS CONTINUING!"
"WHAT?" King asked.
"Oh LORD…REFEREE WOODSON…WHAT HAVE YOU WROUGHT…?" JR asked.
"ANY AND ALL BLOOD IS GOING TO BE ON YOUR HANDS, WOODSON…" Courage said.
AND THEN BLUE JUST JUMPS OVER EVERYONE AND TAKES THEM ALL DOWN JUST TO GET TO GARY! BLUE JUST FIRES OFF RIGHTS AND LEFTS TO POUND ON HIS BROTHER, BUT GARY FIGHTS BACK WITH HIS OWN RAPID FIRE FISTS!
"This will never STOP…NONE OF THEM ARE GOING TO SAY IT, DAMMIT!" JR exclaimed. "THIS MATCH SHOULD HAVE ENDED!"
Chuck Woodson looks at the stars…and shrugs and said, "They wanted it…my career needed this…". Blue yanks Gary up and starts carrying him over past the gorilla position and THROWS him past where the MiniTron was! Blue grabs Gary…"You made me this way…YOU MADE ME THIS WAY…I AM THE BETTER TWIN DAMMIT…I AM!" Blue grabs the arms of Gary and Double Underhooks him…and he is RIGHT ABOVE THE PROJECTOR FOR THE MINITRON…
"COME ON GARY! JUST SAY IT!" Dash exclaimed.
"NO GARY! WE CAN'T LOSE!" Sam shouted.
"OH WILL YOU FORGET THE LOSS RECORD, WE CAN'T CATCH UP NOW ANYWAY! THINK ABOUT THE WORTH OF A HUMAN LIFE!" Dash said.
The Shell Shock DDT is SET UP…

…AND GARY LIFTS BLUE UP OFF THE MOVE AND SLAMS HIM ON HIS BACK ON THE PROJECTOR WITH A MAKESHIFT SHELLSHOCK(Fireman's Carry Sitout Spinebuster)! THE ENTIRE DEVICE JUST SMASHES AND BLUE'S BACK JUST BURNS EVEN MORE!
"GOOD GOD! GOD PLEASE STOP THIS MATCH!" JR cringed, "SHELL SHOCK DDT REVERSED INTO THE SHELLSHOCK…"
Gary slowly gets up…Blue's eyes WIDE IN PAIN…he can't even catch his BREATH…his spine CONTORTED ON THE PROJECTOR…and Gary starts taking off his Belt…and Blue rolls off the projector…"GIVE UP DAMMIT! DON'T MAKE THIS MATCH CONTINUE!" Gary shouted. "YOU GOT APRIL CRYING IN THE DAMN CROWD! YOU GOT GRAMPS UPSET! DAISY ISN'T EVEN DAMN HERE! YOU CAUSED THIS BULL! SAY IT!"
The ref asks Blue…
…
…and he looks over into the crowd to see April…crying her eyes out…
"YOU GOT ALL THESE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN OUR DAMN FIGHT! YOU GOT A DAMN ISSUE!? YOU WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN!? YOUR EGO THIS BIG!? ARE YOU THIS INSECURE!?" Gary rolled up his belt while Blue looked around him and saw the crowd of stars outside the room they were in…he watched April…he felt the absolute pain he was in…he saw Daffy look absolutely DISTRAUGHT at what was happening…and he saw his own grandfather…
…
…
…
…and he stayed silent…he didn't SCREAM…he started to THINK about the entire situation…
…
…
…
"What's he thinking…?" JR asked.
"…I…I dunno…" King said, "He CONTEMPLATING IT?..."
Gary held the belt…and Blue looked around still…he his lip quivered as he stood up, trying to crawl away…and saw the stars, Daffy, April, and Grandpa Oak…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Blue said…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…"NO…GO. TO. HELL."
"Oh for the love of GOD…" JR cried.
Blue had looked around and saw EVERYONE…
…
…including RED…and he did NOT WANT TO GIVE UP AS SOON AS HE SAW HIM…
Gary shook his head…and he raised his belt AND STARTED WHIPPING BLUE WITH THE METAL BUCKLE…AND EVERY HIT ON BLUE'S BURNED BACK WAS ONE EXCRUCIATING STRIKE AFTER ANOTHER…BLUE WAS GROWING WELTS AS HE STARTED CRYING OUT…Gary kept HITTING Blue, STRIKE AFTER STRIKE AFTER STRIKE…
"GARY OAK WHIPPING HIS OWN BROTHER LIKE A PARENT DISCIPLINING A CHILD!" Courage exclaimed, "HE WON'T STOP UNTIL BLUE SAYS IT!"
Blue keeps crawling away, but Gary keeps WHIPPING and WHIPPING Blue! Gary is near TEARS at this point, because even HE feels uncomfortable doing this…but he HAS TO. In his mind he HAS TO. WELTS are on his back…his back has MULTIPLE BLEEDING CUTS…it's BRUISED and DISCOLORED…and Gary finally just STOPS. It was going nowhere. Gary sighs…and Blue is gasping for air while he tries to get up…and Gary grans Blue and throws a right hand, causing him to stumble. Blue continues crawling…and then Blue grabs onto Gary…and he PUSHES Gary and tackles him RIGHT into the camera man and Woodson! And both go tumbling, and we lose the camera as Blue and Gary continue rolling and brawling out of sight!
"CAMERAMAN DOWN! CAMERAMAN DOWN!" Dash exclaimed, "Where'd they go?"
"Where the hell are they?" JR asked.
The crowd was CONFUSED as to where anyone was…
…"Where ARE they?" Dash asked.
"Somebody get a durn camera out there!" Shouted Sam.
"My goodness, we LOST 'EM!" JR said, "My goodness. We lost two volatile ANIMALS…"
A minute passed…and referees, security, and trainers were on the search…
…until Daffy pointed…"LOOK…"
…
…
…
…BLUE WAS CRAWLING TO THE TOP OF THE TITANTRON, AND GARY WAS FOLLOWING HIM!
"OOOH NO NO SOMEBODY GET THEM DOWN FROM THERE!" Courage shouted, "PLEASE!"
"PLEASE, CELESTIA, LET THEM BE OKAY…LET THIS END NICE…" Dash exclaimed.
Gary trades punches with Blue…and Gary starts getting the upper hand, throwing rights and lefts, and then KICKS Blue. He grabs the head and wants a DDT…and Blue LOW BLOWS GARY! And Gary LOSES HIS FOOTING…
"OHLORD!" Courage yelped.
…and yet manages to stay on the TitanTron.
"I…I almost had a heart attack…" JR tries to calm down.
Blue…he grabs the arms and legs of Gary…
…and he DOUBLE Underhooks them…
…
…
…AND SHELL SHOCK DDT-GETS FLIPPED AND HE SLAMS HIM OVER THE HEAD AND RIGHT ONTO HIS BACK…
…
…AND BLUE NEARLY FALLS OFF, BARELY HOLDING ONTO THE TITANTRON AS HE DANGLES ABOVE THE ENTIRE ARENA!
"OH MY GOODNESS…" Courage yells.
"GARY! BLUE'S ABOUT TO FALL! HE'S ABOUT TO FALL!" Dash exclaimed.
And Gary stood over Blue...as he DANGLES...and Gary says, "SAY IT!"...
...
...and Blue says, "NO! HELL. NO."
...
...SO GARY STEPS ON THE RIGHT HAND IF BLUE, AND THE PAIN MAKES HIM TAKE THE HAND BACK...AND BLUE IS HANGING ON BY ONE HAND...
"DAMMIT GARY THIS IS YOUR BROTHER! HELP HIM PLEASE!" Dash exclaimed.
"GARY, SAVE HIM! SAVE HIM!" JR exclaimed.
Gary raises his foot...
...and STOMPS on the hand of Blue...
...he raises his foot.
...and STOMPS on the hand of Blue!...
"SAY IT BEFORE YOU FALL YOU IDIOT!" Gary shouted, DEMANDING his twin say the words.
...
...
...
..."NO!" Blue SCREAMED, dangling by only one hand...
...
...so Gary raises a foot...
and STEPS on the hand of Blue!
...Blue is slipping...
...and Gary raises a foot...
...
...and then stops...
...
...he sees his own Grandad in the crowd...
...
...and looks at Blue...
...
...and looks at April...
...
...and then wonders..."...He really won't say it no matter what..."
...
...
...
...HE RAISES A FOOT...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
..."...You're The Better Twin!"
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...said GARY as he lowered his foot, and a SHOCKED BLUE just WIDENED HIS EYES...
"Wait WHAT?" Dash looked around, "Did he just...DID GARY...?"
Charles Woodson looked around...SHOCKED...but Gary DID say it...so the bell rings, and "Unsettling Differences" plays as Gary extends a hand to Blue...and whether Blue wants it or not, he helps him up The TitanTron.
Inspector Gadget, with a SIGH of relief, just announces, "Here is your winner; Blue Oak!"
"Gary just SURRENDERED to his brother..." Sam said, "...Ah durnit. We lost another one."
"Gary KNEW..." JR said. "He damn well KNEW his brother would not GIVE UP...Gary ended the match. HE gave up. He did it for the sake of his family. THAT is showing he gives a DAMN about his family. Gary forgot his ego for a few seconds and GAVE UP just to bring some damn PEACE to The Oak Family."
Gary was about to go down the steps...but he stopped and looked at Blue. He then extended his right hand to him...in an offer of burying the hatchet...
"Let's end it bro. Let's end this here. Let's bury this entire feud tonight and look forward." He said to his own twin, hoping he would shake his hand too.
Blue just stared stoically at Gary...then at the hand...he did not expect the match to end like this at all. He didn't know what to think right now...so many thoughts were running through his his head...
...
...
...
...ten seconds passed...
...
...
...
...and Blue started to WALK PAST GARY TO A CHORUS OF BOOS...
...
...
...
...before he STOPPED...
...
...
...
...
...and SIGHED before saying "Damn... Alright, F*CK IT..."
...
...
...
...
...before turning back around and GOING TO HUG HIS BROTHER TIGHTLY, STOIC AND ALL.
The crowd POPPED TO A HUGE CHEER AS BLUE HUGGED HIS BROTHER, AND THEN GARY HUGGED HIM BACK TIGHTLY!
"OOOH...What a TOUCHING moment!" JR exclaimed. "BROTHERS! TWINS! FINALLY...united as one at LAST...' Courage smiled.
"OH COURAGE! BUDDY!" Dash swelled up with so much joy, she hugged Courage tightly.
"...JR, come on..." King sajd, holding his arms out.
"Well only because you'll keep asking if I don't." Jim Ross chuckled before HE hugged his old buddy King.
Sam sat there at commentary...nobody to hug.
"...Ah pal you look like you need a hug!" Gadget exclaimed before hugging Sam, who looked he was struggling to break free! And then suddenly the crowd began to hug each other...cause reasons.
Anyone who wasn't currently hugging someone else in the crowd suddenly started a chant of "HUGS ARE AWESOME!"
"Ooooohhh..." April started to LAUGH...and he HUGGED William in JOY.
William returned the hug with April, not exactly the loviest-doviest fellow…but her joy was his joy right now. And besides…Blue still won.
Max's attention was only on the now-hugging Oak twins…and he breathed a sigh of relief as the two of them embraced…thankful that it seemed like there was truly closure. He then leaned over to hug Kirby…paying no mind to the granola bar in his own back pocket which Kirby had a direct view of.
Kirby is all too happy to return Max's hug...and discreetly inhale the granola bar. And Max's pants. And his seat.
Jonathan nearly broke down right there, as what he felt was VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE…was actually happening. He saw his brother Jeremy walking back over to him, and immediately he lunged at his brother and hugged him like he was his last lifeline. Jeremy felt the embrace…and hugged Jon right back, a relieved smile on his face.
Ben wondered…if THIS were possible…if THIS could actually be true…could it be possible for him and Gwen to do the same? It HAD TO be, right? Maybe there was STILL HOPE after all, even if their estrangement differed a tad… He looked over at Lightning, all of these thoughts in his head…all of this hugging going on around them…
Lightning turned to Ben...saw him...and sighed. "Alright, alright, JUST ONCE you can hug me..." Lightning rolled her eyes.
Ben exhales and smiled at that, getting the green light for just this one time, and gave Lightning a hug of his own…a warm, happy hug…
Kai Green, meanwhile, sensed that this was a parable from her goddess in disguise: it meant that sometimes a hug could solve everything…and so she looked over in TD's direction…a suggestive and coy grin…
Kennelly looked at Kai...and groans. And he side hugs her just to be nice and in the moment.
Kai giggled with glee from this side hug and returned with a hug of her own to TD. "Friendship, yay!" she proclaimed
"Hehehehe...well isn't that something sis?" 17 grinned...as he hugged HER...just to annoy her.
18 rolled her eyes, but hugged back as well.
Team 2D look at each other in the back upon seeing the hugfest.
"...Aw, come here, ya big kitty." Jerry spread his arms out as Tom embraced his tag team partner, joining the hugfest.
"HUG ME, HOPE!" Sackboy cried out, suddenly dressed like Bayley as he hugged his hedgehog friend.
"...AH WHY THE HELL NOT?!" Hope exclaimed as he HUGGED Sackboy back as well.
Misty, behind Sackboy and Hope with the Gyrados Army...just sighs and hugs Ash, Ashlyn, and Pikachu. Ashlyn just cuddles against the electric mouse...
...and then the Gyrados army just hugs each other out of pure joy!
Tammy swoons and hugs Asui tightly, and sends telepathic hugs to Jeremy and of course Mr. Spin.
Asui just chuckled and hugged Tammy, deciding to take part in the moment because for once, it turned out alright.
Spin who had a mini TV while searching for The Nation felt the telepathic hug...He hugged Senji and Tommy "I love sort of happy endings that came from near death" Spin said.
Jeremy felt the telepathic hug and smiled. "…That girl's gotta teach me how to do that sometime," Jeremy said.
Jonathan felt his face licked and chuckled a bit. "…Oh quiet you, I had good reason," he remarked…before rubbing his head and giving him a gentle hug too. "…I'm just glad it's all…okay…"
joan sees Jonathan hug Jeremy, smiles in private while she has no clue what was eating jonathan up all this time, she was glad he was over it
"Awwww..." said Grim Jr, one of the few WND kids left...before making a gagging noise. He then turned to his sister and mischievously held his own arms out...and got an empty popcorn bucket to the head. ; "Sorry, but no thanks. Now get me more popcorn, bonehead. Some fat cat's eaten ours." Minimandy ordered with an amused smirk.
"well this turned into a hugging session" joan bewildered
valvatorez is hugging fenrich
"my lord?" fenrich said in confusion but decides to just go for it and hug him back
"Aww...such a touching moment..." Pinkie said as she had the other Rainbooms wrapped in her arms. The others just sighed and returned the gesture best they could.
O-TK had O-Kari in an embrace, both looking up at the Oak brothers with a small smile on each of their faces. "Kari...promise me that I'll never reach this point with Matt."
The brunette giggled, "No worries TK...I have faith that neither you or your counterpart will cause this to happen."
Van and Corey look at one another, smiling.
"I NEED A HUG!" Corey shouted before hugging Van tightly.
"ACK! Corey... Too... tight!" Van choked.
Angel slowly put her arms around Duke to hug him.
The four members of Disturbed looked at one another and huddled together for a group hug.
Zach hugs Drew much to his brothers annoyance but happily returns it. Weiss sighed and opens her arms as Ruby hugs her!
"Family hug!" Sarah yelled as she pulls Hernan, their mom, their dad, and their kids into a group hug.
"I love you guys." Hernan told his family.
"...Can you guys believe this-" Rock began, but then sweatdropped at seeing a tearing up Serenity hugging an equally teared up Kotonoha, and a smiling Justin hugging a blushing Hotaru.
"Well...isn't this a happy ending?" Dante chuckles lightly, wrapping an arm around Vergil. "Ain't that right, Verge? How about a hug?"
Vergil plain-faced and elbowed his brother in the gut, "Shut up."
The Crimson Showstopper felt pain as he nursed his abs...but grinned despite the pain. Vergil rolled his eyes at his brother's antics...but he couldn't help but smirk himself, at least secretly.
"HUG ME BROTHER!" A tearing up Minako yelled as she pulled Minato into a big hug.
Minato simply chuckled as he returned the hug to his sister.
"Aw... Now I wanna hug..." Iroha muttered at seeing everyone hugging. "To bad master's not here... Oh well." She said as she hugged the closest person next to her, who turned out to be Sheele.
"...Eh, it's a touching moment." Sheele said as she let Iroha hug her."For the first time in so long, The Oak Thanksgiving Dinner won't be so awkward." Dash said happily.
