Chapter 11: Turned Upside Down
And like that the fighting was over for that day. The next day would have the extra matches go. The wrestlers who got a pass to this round would fight one of the teams who fought today.
Tomorrow would be the black divisions only, featuring Thunder and Lightning vs. Fiona and Okan. And in the Red Division Checkmate and Wally vs. Gepparland and Hammerhead.
But with the fighting over Kevin and Kid had returned to the locker room and were now disposing of their wrestling attire to change in something more comfortable. Kid dressed to impress, as he prepared for a night on the town. When he looked over his shoulder he saw Kevin in his usual black t-shirt, big boats and large trench coat.
"Kid Muscle." Said Checkmate as he walked into the locker room.
"Checkmate." Kid stood up to greet him." Good to see you, good job on your match today."
"And the same to you." Replied Checkmate. Kevin glanced over his shoulder to see the two talking but then preoccupied himself with tying his boats" Kid." Continued Checkmate." Sir Jeager, Sir Terry, Wally and Myself are all going for a night of drinking to celebrate our victories today. I hopest you would join us."
"Of course." Said Kid." I'm down."
"Good show." Said Checkmate. Then he patted Kid's shoulder and then walked out. In the aftermath of his leaving Kid turned to Kevin.
"Hey Kevin." He said. Kevin made no reply and Kid continued." The guys and I are going out tonight would you like to come along?"
"No." replied Kevin sharply not taking his attention off what he was doing.
"Come on Kevin it'll be fun." Told Kid as he walked over and sat down next to Kevin." All our friends will be there and-"
"Your friends." Said Kevin turning to Kid and holding up a finger between them.
"But we're friends." Said Kid." And what's yours is mine right?"
"My answer is still 'No'." said Kevin as he stood up and straightened his jacket around him." Thanks anyway." He added politely at the end.
"Okay." Replied Kid with a nod.
"See you tomorrow." Said Kevin. Then he turned to walk away.
"Okay." Said Kid. But then he walked up behind Kevin and came up next to him." Then at least come out to dinner with Roxanne and ME!" he said with a goofy smile on his face as he began to drag Kevin off." We've got to celebrate our victory somehow." Kevin stuttered as if he wanted to reply but couldn't get words out." And if you really like." Kid said turning to Kevin and talking in a whisper." I could hook you up with one of her friends, I think Trixie's available." Then the two left the locker room.
Roxanne at that time waited for Kid at a small diner. They'd chosen it as their place to meet up, someplace small and quiet where they could catch up. So presently Roxanne waited silently there in one of the booths. Whenever the door would open she'd turned and look only to see it wasn't Kid Muscle. But then when she turned her attention back forward, there was Kid standing before.
"Hey." He greeted her with a smile. Then he moved over and sat next to her. Roxanne replied with a smile.
"Kid there's a seat over-" she motioned to the seat across from her but when she did she saw the seat occupied by Kevin Mask. And when she saw him a strange feeling fell over her and she found herself staring at him.
"Oh I hope you don't mind." Said Kid as he turned and noticed Roxanne had noticed Kevin." But I thought we'd do some celebrating."
"Uh-huh." Roxanne groaned as she slouched back, angered that her alone time with Kid was now ruined. Kevin said nothing but sat there silently, his eyes shifting from Roxanne to Kid. The silence was long as none of them conversed with each other.
But eventually it was broken by a waiter.
"Thank God." Said Kid turning and acknowledging the waiter who would break the silence.
"Good afternoon." He said as he handed the three menus." Can I start by getting you anything to drink?"
"Ladies first." Said Kid turning to Roxanne.
"Water." She said her eyes still on Kevin.
"And you sir?" asked the waiter to Kevin.
"Cup of Tea please."
"I'll have a coke" spoke up Kid.
"Muscle we're in competition." Said Kevin.
"Okay, okay." Said Kid with a wave of his hands." I'll have a diet coke." The waiter wrote down their orders.
"I'll leave you to look over the menu." He said and then he left. Then Kid turned back to his friends with a smile.
"Well isn't this great." He said." The three of us here together, no wrestling, no BS, just three friends enjoying life." Roxanne and Kevin rolled their eyes to each other." Speaking of which." Said Kid standing up.
"Where are you going?" asked Roxanne.
"Bathroom." Said Kid." I couldn't go before the match, I was too hyped up." Roxanne sat back in her place and looked across the table at Kevin, who had not moved since he sat down." I'll be back." Said Kid." You two kids play nice now." Then he turned and left. Now if the silence before was bad, the silence now was pure hell.
After Kid left the two quickly picked up their menus and began to read them over, only hoping to find something other than talk to each other.
But when Kevin looked up from his menu he could see Roxanne's eyes just barely peeking out over her menu and grilling him down.
"Okay." Said Kevin as he placed his menu down." Let's clear the air." Roxanne did the same with her menu." You don't like me."
"Really?" asked Roxanne.
"And I want to know why."
"You want the truth?" she asked her eyes darting away from for a moment.
"That's why I asked."
"Well then I'll be straight up." Said Roxanne." Everyone knows you're not the people type, yet here you are teaming with Kid Muscle who's pretty much the exact opposite of you."
"So you think this is some elaborate plot on my part?" asked Kevin." Trick Kid Muscle into being his friend, form a partnership with him and then betray him?"
"Matter of fact." Said Roxanne." That's kinda what I was thinking."
"Well I can see why you'd think that." Said Kevin." Ex-DMP member, but then I left to live a life of solitude when they turned out to be different from what I thought. I betrayed my father's secret to Mars and then betrayed Mars about the secret. I fought for my own gain in the Chojin Crown, killing one of my opponents even. But there Is one thing I do not do." He said as he looked at Roxanne who looked at him in fright." I have never betrayed a partner. The one thing that's scared even to a man like me is a man's partnership." When he said this he spoke softer and kinder than he had before." Kid Muscle has nothing to fear form partnering with me."
"Well I meant no offense Kevin." Said Roxanne as she breathed easier." I just want to know what was going on here is all." Kevin said nothing in reply and right at that moment Kid Muscle returned.
"So what did I miss?" he asked.
"Nothing." Said Roxanne.
But the day quickly flew by and the night came.
And with that the Muscle Leaguers gathered in the bar of their hotel. There was Terry, Jeager, Checkmate with Kiki, and Wally.
"CHEERS!" they shouted as they slammed their beer glasses together.
"HERE'S TO EVERYBODY!" said Kiki. Then they all leaned back their heads and drank.
"Vhis is great." Said Jeager." Ve all made it past our first matches. Soon ve will all meet in the finals."
"But only one can win the gold." Said Wally.
"Hey a party." Said a familiar voice." Am I invited?" The Muscle Leaguers all turned around to see Dik Dik leaning on a crutch making his way towards them.
"HEY!" they all shouted with smiles.
"Sit Down." Said Checkmate." Fill a seat and a cold ale to fill you." He said sliding a drink Dik Dik's way.
"Thanks." Said Dik Dik. Then he took a sip." So how did your matches go? Judging as how you're all here, I'd say that it went well."
"Didn't you see the matches in the hospital?" asked Terry.
"No they've been running tests on me all day so I couldn't get to a TV." Told Dik Dik.
"Tis True." Said Checkmate." We all vanquished our foes and have come here to celebrate."
"But where's Kid Muscle?" asked Dik Dik after he looked the small group over." Oh God, don't tell me he couldn't compete."
"No Kid passed the first round." Told Wally.
"How?" asked Dik Dik." He didn't have a partner."
"You didn't know?" asked Kiki.
"Know what?" asked Dik Dik.
"That Kid's teaming with Kevin Mask." Said Roxanne as she appeared behind Dik Dik, upon looking everyone saw Kid Muscle there as well.
"Kid is that true?" asked Dik Dik turning his eyes to Kid.
"It's true." Replied Kid." But Dik Dik before you get mad I just want to say-"
"Mad, I'm not mad." Said Dik Dik interrupting him." It makes sense, the only logical choose to replace me would be Kevin Mask although he's no Dik Dik Van Dik."
"Yea." Said Kid with a smile as he and Roxanne sat down." No one can replace you." Kid then turned around slightly looking to see if Kevin was around, saddened a little that he hadn't joined him this night.
"The only thing I'm mad at is how you got Kevin Mask to team with you anyway." Spoke up Wally." Never saw him as liking us very much, you especially for that matter."
"Say." Said Terry." Where is the old dog now?"
"He declined the invitation." Said Kid." He's preparing for tomorrow." But enough about that let's sit back and relax."
So they did just that. And after several more rounds.
And after some time a new face appeared at the bar.
"Oh great." Groaned Roxanne as she put her head in her hands.
"What's the matter?" asked Kid turning to her." You got gas?"
"No." said Roxanne turning to him with disgust." She's here." Kid turned over and saw Trixie coming their way.
"So." He replied turning back to her. But Roxanne kept her hands in her face while Trixie approached. And for a brief moment the two locked eyes but then they looked away.
"Terry." Called Trixie as she approached the bar. Terry turned over and saw Trixie coming towards him.
"Hey there girl." Said Terry in a slurred tone as he stood up to talk to her but when he did he fell over.
"Oh you started the party without me." Said Trixie as she walked over. When she did Jeager and Kid Muscle had picked Terry up and returned him to his seat." Terry." Said Trixie as she leaned towards him." Can I talk to you?" Then she looked past the drunk Texan and noticed all his friends were watching them." Over there." Added Trixie as she pointed to her right. Terry nodded and stood up but then began walking off to the left." Wrong way Terry." Said Trixie calling him. Terry quickly twirled around and pointed to the direction Trixie went and then followed her.
Everyone looked over as the two began to talk privately in the corner.
"Hundred bucks their going to get it on." Said Dik Dik looking them over. Everyone then turned to Dik Dik and looked confused.
"Vhat do you mean get it on?" asked Jeager confused.
"Get it on." said Dik Dik." You know." But Jeager still looked confused.
"Hide the salami." Suggested Wally.
"Storm the castle." Added Checkmate.
"Getting fu-" but he was cut off as Terry and Trixie walked back over to their table.
"Sorry boys." Said Terry turning to his fellow Muscle Leaguers." But Daddy's going to work."
"If he calls himself Daddy one more time I will punch him in the jaw." Said Wally as Terry and Trixie moved around the table.
"Terry." Said Jeager innocently as he watched Terry get up and leave with Trixie." Vhere are you going?" But Terry did not reply and only looked down at Trixie as the two left and headed off to his room.
"Speaking of which." Said Roxanne turning to Kid." That gives me an idea."
"What?" asked Kid turning to her. But she only looked at him and nodded her head hoping he'd catch on." Oh." Said Kid when he realized. Then Roxanne turned and got up. Kid did the same and turned to his friends." Well boys." He said." I'm turning in for the night." Then he leaned towards them and whispered." And by that I mean I'm going to go have sex."
"Kid." Said Roxanne calling him. Then Kid turned and ran after her.
"Vait." Said Jeager when he looked around." Vhat is going on."
Then when Jeager and Wally turned around Checkmate had walked off with Kiki, then they looked back and saw only themselves and Dik Dik left.
"Wanna go bowling?" asked Dik Dik.
"Ja." Said Jeager.
"Yea." Said Wally. And the three quickly got up and left.
The morning came at it was time for the next round of the black division. This match would feature Fiona and Okan the first female Choujin's against the team of Gun Ma and Meltdown, who had not been seen this passing the preliminary rounds.
The crowd was in a roar of excitement as the stands quickly filled. Signs and other propaganda for the two female fighters were all over.
Jeager was sitting next to two empty seats in the front row. He had wanted to see this match as whoever would win he and Terry would have to fight in the final round of the black division. But he had not seen Terry since him leaving the bar last night with Trixie.
Then the attention of the crowd was drawn to the stage where Jacqueline McMadd entered.
"Greetings Fight Fans." She said addressing." And Welcome to the semifinal match of the black division. She paused as the crowd cheered out." In this match we have my favorite female Gladiators Fiona and Okan." She then turned and pointed to the aisle where the two women began making their entrance." Then two women came out waving to the cheering crowd." And their opponents appearing for their first match Thunder and Lightning, Team Disaster."
The lights in the stadium suddenly dimmed and loud screaming music filled the air. Coming out of their curtain were
Thunder and Lightning. Thunder the bigger of the two, wearing gold armor and a metal mask in the shape of a lion's head. He bounded forward and roared raising his arms up and down, back and forth. Lightning the smaller one with skin as white as milk black shoulder pads and two shifty orange eyes.
Like Kevin Mask he made no reply to the screaming crowd around them, perhaps for the fact that no one was cheering for them everyone was silent. But their music kept playing and the two walked into the ring.
Once they did they stood next to each other across from Fiona and Okan, once again easily dwarfing the two. The two stood with a fire in their eyes and a cold look on their faces.
Fiona and Okan looked the two over strangely, they had very gruff and angry appearances and didn't have a friendly fell about them, they felt much fouler.
"My." Said Okan as the two stood before her and Fiona." Aren't you two spunky." Fiona chuckled at her comment.
"You'll be eating those words soon enough." Said Thunder as he stepped forward." They'll be all you have left after you step into the ring with us."
"Easy Thunder." Said Lightning extending his hand and putting it on his partner's shoulder." Soon they'll be beaten and we'll be onto the next round of this tournament."
"Ha." Scoffed Thunder." Your right, these broads aren't worth our time."
"What did you say?" asked Fiona stepping up.
"Why don't you start by making me a sandwich?" continued Thunder pointing to Okan." And you darling." He said turning to Fiona and looking down at her causing a smile to come over his face." I promise I won't hurt you too bad until after this match." Then he winked at her.
Fiona and Okan became enraged and prepared to charge Thunder but Jacqueline got in their way.
"Hold on girls." She said. "The fight hasn't started yet." The two women looked past her to Thunder who chuckled and smiled at them." But with that said." Said Jacqueline backing out of the ring." Let's get this fight underway."
"Lightning." Said Thunder cocking his to his partner." Can I take this one?" Partnerships were supposed to be made of equals yet the bigger, stronger Thunder asked Lightning for permission.
"As you wish." Said Lightning. Then he turned and walked into their corner.
"Fiona." Said Okan to her." I'll take this guy first."
"Got it." Said Fiona." Just save some for me."
"No promises." Said Okan with anger in her eyes as she starred down Thunder. Fiona turned and walked back into their corner.
"Alright." Said Jacqueline." Let's get this fight started." Then with that she banged the bell signaling the beginning of the fight.
Okan wasted no time in charging Thuder. She ran up and punched him in the stomach, then a second time, and then a third. Then she reached up and punched him in the chin causing him to stumble back.
She stood back as Thunder picked his head up and looked at her.
"Is that all you've got?" he asked mockingly, and then let out an evil grin. Okan now filled with rage jumped up and kicked him across the face sending him stumbling back some more. Then she ran up and tried to punch him once more but this time he caught her fist." Apparently." He said standing up straight as she struggled to free herself but to no avail." It is." Then he bent her hand back causing it to crack.
Okan let out a loud scream as he cracked her wrist. Then he let out go and she stumbled back holding her broken wrist. The crowd let out a unified gasp.
"OKAN!" yelled Fiona in shock. Then Thunder ran up and kicked Okan in the stomach, his kick was so strong it sent her flying back into the ropes. Okan bounced off of them and came back at Thunder and when she did he close lined her to the floor, hitting her neck doing so. Then Okan fell to the ground and started gasping for air.
"Hey." Shouted Jeager from his seat." Dat's not right, no man should hit a lady."
"Lady?" asked Lightning turning and facing Jeager." What lady do you see here?" Then he turned his attention back to the ring to see Okan all shriveled up." They choose this just like we did, they choose to fight. If women are equal to men and they can do anything men can do, what's transpiring shouldn't be a problem. Their team name even suggests it. If we were fighting two men right now no one would care, but since it's two women that's a different thing entirely." Jeager turned his hand into a fist and groaned.
"I don't understand." Coughed Okan on the ground.
"What don't you understand Okan?" asked Thunder as he walked up and stood before her." That you are weak. Ah Okan." Then he bent down and grabbed her by her head and then held her up." You shouldn't have forgotten that you are weak."
"No." replied Okan weakly." You're the weak one here, I am strong!"
"Is that so?" asked Thunder. Then he tossed her into the air and when she flew down her punched her in the face. His punched caused her to fly across the ring and hit her head against the ring post. Fiona looked down and saw her tag partner all mangled and beaten, bleeding from her face.
Okan looked up with blurred vision and saw Fiona standing there. She slowly reached out her hand but before she could get it far enough to Fiona Thunder jumped down and stepped on her hand, pinning it to the ground. Okan let out another cry of pain as Thunder stood there and smiled.
Fiona observed the look on his face and went to swing at him but something happened. A metal hand flew out from out of nowhere and punched Fiona in the nose. The hit stunned her and she fell onto the ground with her nose bleeding.
But Thunder stood in the ring and looked down at Okan. He noticed she was in terrible pain as she kept breathing irregular and she was bleeding a lot from her face. So then Thunder reached down and put his hands around her neck and then brought her eye level with him. He turned his head and looked over to Lightning, who had his arms crossed.
"Finish it." Lightning said with a nod of his head.
Thunder nodded his head and turned to Okan. Then he swung her body up and around his shoulders, he held her in place with his arms. Then he jumped into the air and swung her to his right as they came down. When they hit the ring again he had slammed her down with his own body crushing her.
Okan let out a scream when they made impact. And then the final bell rang out signaling the end of the match. Thunder stood up after his victory although the crowd did not cheer his name. But he turned and walked over to Lightning, who stood quietly in their corner.
"Let's get out of here." Said Lightning with a tap to his shoulder and then leapt out of the ring. Thunder nodded and followed after him.
"And that's the semifinals of the black division are over." Said Jacqueline's voice." With Team Disaster heading on to fight Terry Kenyan and Jeager."
In the aftermath of their leaving Fiona finally picker herself up off the ground. Her nose was bleeding and she held it but then she looked into the ring and saw Okan laid out in it.
"OKAN!" she shouted concerned. Then she got up and ran into the ring. She ran up and then sat down next to her tag partner." Okan." She said as she stood over her." Okan, are you alright? Can you hear me?"
"Where were you?" groaned Okan lightly and starred at Fiona with angry eyes. Fiona was shocked and didn't know how to reply.
Just then at that moment the paramedics came in and stood over her.
"Ma'am." They said to Fiona." We'll take it from here." Fiona stepped out of the way and watched as they loaded Okan onto the stretcher. The two however never broke eye contact as Okan continued to glare at Fiona and Fiona starred wide-eyed and confused back.
Jeager had seen the whole match and it angered him to the core.
Meanwhile in the red division.
Kevin Mask stood by himself at the top of the stairway looking down at the ring below.
"Kevin." Said a voice." Kevin." Then he turned over and saw Kid and Roxanne looking over at him from where they were sitting a few rows down from where he stood.
"What are you doing up there?" called Kid to him.
"Getting a better look." Kevin replied.
"You'll see better from here." Called Roxanne." Come down here."
"I'd rather not." Said Kevin with a shake of his head. Kid hung his head as Kevin had declined the offer to sit with them. But then Roxanne quickly got up and marched up to Kevin. "What are you-" Kevin began to say but stopped as Roxanne grabbed him by his jacket and pulled him down the steps. Then she got behind him and pushed him down to the seats. Kevin noticed here that she was incredibly strong for a normal human.
Roxanne continued to push Kevin until he stood right before Kid Muscle. Then she put him down in the seat next to him.
"There all better." She said sweetly as she sat down next to Kevin.
"I'm glad you decided to join us Kev." Said Kid with a smile.
"What did I tell you about calling me Kev." Kevin said looking to him.
"Play nice and watch the fight boys." Said Roxanne to the two with a clap of her hands." You'll have to fight whoever wins this match." So they two wrestlers turned and watched the ring.
Checkmate and Wally were already waiting inside the ring and at that moment their opponents were walking down the isle towards them.
There was Hammerhead and Gepparland, two fish-like Chojins that stood upright. So the two fish men made it into the ring.
"Fish." Said Wally licking his lips. "I'm going to eat them up for breakfast." Then he made a move for the fish.
"Hold my pudgy friend." Said Checkmate with his hand on Wally's shoulder. Then Gepparland moved into his corner while Hammerhead stood on the outside of the ropes." Tis something fishy about these fish, we should be careful."
"If you'd like to go first again Checkmate." Said Wally." I don't mind." Then he turned and walked into their corner while Checkmate stayed in the ring, looking over Gepparland was in the ring with him.
The bell rang out and the fight was on.
Checkmate ran up and locked up with Gepparland. The two struggled for several seconds but then Gepparland was able to push Checkmate off to the right. Then when he did that he kicked up his leg at Checkmate. But Checkmate reached down and grabbed Gepparland's leg. Then Checkmate swung forward and punched him, sending him stumbling back. Then Checkmate went for another punch but this time Gepparland blocked and responded by punching Checkmate in the stomach. Checkmate leaned over and the Gepparland put his arms around Checkmate's head. Then he swung back and knocked Checkmate's face against the mat.
Gepparland was quickly back onto his feet and surprisingly so was Checkmate. So Gepparland charged at him again but Checkmate quickly pressed onto his castle chess piece and turned into the stone structure. Then he ran up and tackled Gepparland into the ropes. Then as he held him there Checkmate punched him in the face, then a second time. And with that punch he sent him over the ropes and onto the ground.
But as they watched the match Kevin couldn't help but get the feeling that he was being watched. He slowly rotated his eyes to his left and saw that Roxanne was looking at him or rather passed him. Then Kevin rolled his eyes over to Kid and saw him doing the same thing. The two sat on opposite sides of Kevin but where looking at each other. Kevin felt as if they were burning a hole through him to each other. And now an idea had begun to creep over Kevin.
"I think I'm going to get something to drink." Said Roxanne as she stood up.
"I'll go with you." Said Kid getting up.
"No." said Kevin sharply as he got up and stopped Kid." We both have to be here to find out about our next opponents." Kid looked past Kevin and at Roxanne who pouted at him, knowing Kevin was right Kid sat back down.
Then Roxanne turned and walked off, but Kid turned and watched her go with Kevin watching him the whole time.
"Kid." Said Kevin, but Kid most likely did not hear him as he kept watching Roxanne as she left his sight." Kid." Said Kevin now getting Kid Muscle to turn and look at him.
"What?" asked Kid confused as he began scratching his chest.
"I don't mean to pry." Said Kevin." But did you." He said pointing to Kid." And your girl." He continued pointing in the direction Roxanne went." Have um-" but he stopped as Kid looked at him confused." Um relations." Said Kevin after stammering for the right word and when he said it it sounded like it hurt.
"If you meant that I tore that ass up." Laughed Kid as he leaned back and put his hands behind his head." Then yes, and let me tell you it was-"
"That's my point." Said Kevin.
"What point?" asked Kid.
"Luckily we aren't competing today but just so you know for next time, do not have 'relations'." He said stressing the word as he said it." The day before we have a match."
"Why not?" whined Kid in Kevin's ear causing Kevin to cringe." Oh I get it." Then he turned to his partner with a sly smile which frightened Kevin." You're jealous because I'm getting it in."
"I would never." Said Kevin.
"But I can see it on your face."
"My face is behind a mask."
"But I'm getting better at seeing your face behind all that iron." Said Kid." And right now you are frowning and sweating." Sure enough beneath his helmet Kevin was doing just that.
"I'm just sweating because it's hot." He replied as he turned his eyes to the ring and crossed his arms and legs.
"But don't worry buddy." Said Kid as he nudged Kevin in the ribs." I'll find a girl for you even if it kills me. By god I'll even-"
"Hey it's not going well for your friends." Said Kevin casually and pointing down to the ring. Kid turned down to the ring and was shocked by what he saw.
Checkmate had Gepparland in a bear hug. But then Gepparaland swung his head forward and hit Checkmate's stone head. It surprisingly did more damage to Checkmate and he stumbled back and landed on one knee.
Gepparaland turned now and tagged in his partner Hammer head. The Shark looking Chojin stepping into the ring and went after Checkmate.
Checkmate had noticed his opponents advances and now stood up. But Hammer head was quick, and he dived down and slid across the ground. He dived past Checkmate and kicked him in the knee, sending the structure to the ground once more.
However when he fell his stone pieces began to fall away and he turned back to his normal form. Then Hammerhead came from behind him and trapped Checkmate in a full nelson.
"Checkmate!" called Kiki." GET UP!" Kid Muscle watched in in distress.
Checkmate slowly came to and noticed something out stretched before him. There was saw Wally's leg reaching out at him from across the ring.
"Tag me." Said Wally when Checkmate looked up at him. Checkmate didn't really want to touch Wally's foot but desperate times call for desperate measures. Checkmate leaned his head forward and tapped Wally's foot, legally tagging him in.
Then without a moment's delay Wally ran into the ring. Hammer head was not ready and still had Checkmate locked in his full nelson.
So Wally ran up and punched him in the face, causing him to drop Checkmate to the ground. Then Wally punched him a second time sending him stumbling back even more. Then Wally punched him again sending him backing into the corner. Then he ran forward and splashed Hammerhead into the corner, squashing him against the ring post and his body.
Then Wally stood back as Hammerhead fell to the ground. Then Wally turned his head around to see Checkmate still laid out in the middle of the ring, most likely too weak to help himself out. So Wally walked over and picked Checkmate up, wrapping one arm around his shoulders and supporting him to their corner. Then Wally lifted Checkmate up and sat him outside of the ring.
"There you go buddy." He said as he did so. "You're okay." Checkmate looked up at Wally and smiled, but then his smiled disappeared as he saw Hammerhead sneaking up behind Wally.
"NO!" Checkmate shouted. Wally turned around now but it was too late. Hammerhead quickly pounced up and trapped Wally in his full nelson. Then Hammerhead swung his body backwards and smashed Wally's head against the mat.
The bell was then rung as Hammerhead stood up and Wally didn't appear to be moving. Then the fish wrestler walked over to his corner to his tag-partner.
Checkmate then stumbled into the ring, tripping over the bottom rope and falling. Then with all the strength he had left he dragged himself to be at Wally's side.
"Wally." He called. But there was no response." Wally." Still nothing. Checkmate reached out to him but it was the last thing he saw as his vision suddenly went blank and he fell to the ground passed out.
"No." said Kiki as she watched from the stands and covered her face in her hands." No, No, NO!" Then she watched along with everyone else as Checkmate and Wally were carried out on stretchers.
Kid Muscle stood up from where he and Kevin were sitting to see the two being carried off.
"Checkmate, Wally." He said solemnly as he lifted his hand slightly out to the side as they were taken from his sight.
"So we know who we'll be fighting tomorrow." Said Kevin from his seat. Kid turned his attention back down to the ring where he saw the two fish Chojin Gepparland and Hammerhead.
