Universal Character Association: Week 4

---

The camera goes to the Titantron, which shows the hallways of the backstage area. Kiva was shown in the hallways, leg placed on a nearby box as she stretched herself, preparing herself for her upcoming match later tonight. Kiva was completely focused on her preparations when suddenly...

"Well if isn't the little Future Girl that got a fluke victory last week..."

Kiva immediately stopped stretching, placing her foot back on the ground and turned towards the owner of the voice. Kiva narrowed her eyes as she faced none other then Mandy, the evil girl from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, the cold, emotionless look on her face.

"Well if it isn't the devil reincarnated in female form...an ugly one I might add." Kiva replied smartly.

"You got some jokes...cute." Mandy replied emotionlessly. "Did you pick up that humor from those idiots, Coop and Jamie, in that dump New Jersey?"

"What are you doing here, Mandy?" Kiva asked immediately, already tired of dealing with this girl. "I haven't recalled getting on your bad side or anything, nor anything occuring between us."

"Simple, you and I are part of that Fatal-4 Way Match later tonight, and I'm just giving you a little warning." Mandy replied in monotone. "You think you're something big just because you beat Sally Acorn? Sally is just a spoiled brat who had everything handed to her. She's no longer relevant, so beating her is no accomplishment. Against someone like me, you don't stand a chance. Just go back to New Jersey, and stay there where no one remembers you or your dumb show. After all, what hope do you have against people like me."

"You know...it's funny how people like you are trying to rag on me, saying I'm not skilled, that I got no chance in hell no matter who I beat." Kiva replied calmly. "Well, let me tell you something...the future where I come from...it's a future where I've had to fight for my life against the Glorft. If you weren't skilled, you'd died. I became proficient in the hand-to-hand combat, I know how to fight like hell when I have to. And if that wasn't enough, you know who I was trained by...UCA Hall of Famer, Sonya Blade. A woman who also trained Green and Agent Tex, who are two of UCA's greatest females ever. I got all the tools, all the skills I need to succeed. So don't try to put me down because you're some emotionless, evil little girl who has the Grim Reaper on her side. Because honestly, I've seen scarier things than you, and if I recall, you got your ass by Gaz in 2010 so you aren't that impressive."

Mandy's eyes widened in anger before snarling. "That goth girl...got...lucky! And every one knows it! Every one gets their one lucky victory! But you aren't going to get lucky this time around! I can't wait to kick your ass and knock you back down to the pitiful ground where you belong, because after all, you don't have any chance of becoming Women's Champion."

"You can say that all you want, but it won't change a thing." Kiva replied cooly. "I'm slowly making my way up the rankings and sooner or later, I will reach the top. And whether I have to beat Lightning, Tifa, Peach, or someone else, I will become Women's Champion and prove you wrong. And then I may just rub it in your face. Now could you please leave me to my preparations. I want to be fully read to take you down along with two other women later tonight."

Mandy stared coldly at Kiva for a few seconds. "Oh you will be ready...for me to show why I am the most evil girl there is. I'm going to show you why you don't have what it takes to make it to the top here."

Mandy walked away from the girl from the future, who just shook her head before going back to her stretching, readying herself for her upcoming match.

"When I first saw him…he showed so much potential…so much promise…and up until now…he has lived up to it…"

The Titantron once again returns to the familiar setting of the dark room with the one dim light, and the man was once again looking down at the object he picked up, a crowbar, with a sudden interest that was evident on his face.

"But now…now is the time…for him to be let go…into this new world…"

Continuing to stare at the object in his hands, he slowly placed his hand on the smooth surface of the crowbar, and slowly ran it up and down the object, as if though trying to get a feel for it before pulling away and tightening his grip on it.

"I must admit…I am a bit…reluctant…to let him in...concerning this line of profession…but I have been given…several offers…for his services…I just couldn't refuse…"

As he stared down at the crowbar in his hands, there was the sound of what seemed to be tram doors sliding open, and there was a new light in the room. Looking up, the man saw a new entrance at the end of the room opposite of him, a great light shining from it. Without hesitation, the man walked through the darkness towards the doorway.

"So now…the time nears…for him…ever closer…he will do…a great deal…in a small time span… I am sure of it…"

The man continued to walk until he finally came up to the doorway of light, staring through it with the same unreadable expression on his face. Standing in the same spot for a few seconds, he gripped the crowbar in his hand tightly before walking through the doorway, which immediately closed behind him seconds later, leaving the screen to immediately fade to black.

"So, at Royal Reckoning…Wake up…Mr. Freeman…Wake up and…smell the ashes."

---

The crowd had exploded into absolutely loud cheers at the words of the last sentence, practically going crazy. Church and Sarge looked absolutely shocked at what they just heard and slowly turned towards each other, unknowing of what to say.

"...No way..." Church finally said. "There is no way..."

"It can't be him...it goes against all logic..." Sarge said. "I mean how could he..."

"I don't know, I honestly don't know..." Church shook his head. "But if it's really him...then I think the Royal Rumble match just got even crazier than it already did..."

"How the hell did Force even acquire such a guy if he did?" Sarge questioned. "It should be impossible!"

"That Fox has his damn ways." Chuch replied. "We'll find out for sure at Royal Reckoning..."

("Pitiful" by Blindside)

The crowd gave out a mixed reaction of cheers and boos as the music played, and Sora and Riku came out, smirks on their faces. They looked out to the crowd for a few moments before giving a fist bump to each other. The two ran down the ramp and quickly slid into the ring before climbing up the turnbuckles and raising their fists into the air to the mixed reaction.

"The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from the Destiny Islands, at a combined weight of 456 lbs., Sora and Riku, the Keyblade Wielders!"

"Sora and Riku are finally back in action." Sarge said. "Three-time UCA World Tag Team Champions, this team finally got themselves some time on TV!"

"People don't know what to think of these two." Church stated. "I mean after all, Riku betrayed Sora years ago out of jealousy and anger towards Sora. They seem to have patched things up recently, and some fans think Riku finally realized his errors, while others think Sora betrayed the fans. Their attitude now is hard to pinpoint which is exactly true."

"Ah who cares about that?" Sarge questioned. "All that matters is that they are here to kick Sony Saint ass!"

("One X" by Three Days Grace)

The crowd gave out loud cheers as Jak and Ratchet came out onto the stage, Ratchet having a blue cloth over his body while Jak was behind him with his Vulcan Fury with him. Ratchet crouched down onto the stage before standing up, throwing the cloth off him and pyro exploding on the stage in unison while Jak fired off his Vulcan Fury into the air to machine-gun pyro for a few seconds before the two made their way down the ramp. Sly came out with them and followed them down the ramp as well. Jak placed his gun on the outside before he and Ratchet entered the ring.

"And their opponents, accompanied by Sly Cooper, representing the Sony Saints, from Haven City and Veldin, at a combined weight of 468 lbs., Jak and Ratchet!"

"The Sony Saints are back in action again! The members have be managed to get victories for the past few weeks, are now looking to add another win to their column!"

"Why couldn't they just stay in the rut they were weeks ago?" Sarge complained. "It would have been so much better. I hope Sora and Riku kick their asses."

"Well, that's your opinion, and it hardly matters as it is." Church remarked. "But regardless, I think we all know that these two teams are sure going to bring it here tonight."

It was decided that Ratchet and Sora would start and Jak and Riku got on the apron, letting the ref ring the bell. Sora and Ratchet met in the ring and Sora went for a lock-up, but Ratchet got behind and locked in waistlock. Sora executed a standing switch and locked in a waistlock instead, before landing a Waistlock Takedown on Ratchet and transitioning into a Front Facelock. Ratchet quickly stood up with Sora in tow and landed a few shots to the gut, forcing Sora to let got before whipping hi, Sora reversed mid-whip and whipped Ratchet into the corner, and ran at the Lombax full speed. Ratchet caught him in the face with an elbow, forcing Sora back a bit, and Ratchet ran at him for a clothesline. Sora ducked, and Ratchet turned around only for Sora to go for a dropkick! But Ratchet suddenly swatted the dropkick, causing Sora to land on the match on his stomach. Sora got to his knees, and Ratchet rolled him up in an Oklahoma Roll! 1...2...Sora kicks out! Sora scrambled to his feet, only for Ratchet to take him down with a Headlock Takedown.

"Sora nearly got pinned there and now Ratchet has control!" Church called.

"But why?" Sarge questioned. "I mean, Ratchet having control makes no sense! It goes against all logic! It should be impossible!"

"Seriously?" Church question. "You can't be serious..."

Ratchet squeezed Sora's head in a Side Headlock until Sora made his way to his feet with Ratchet in tow. He backed into the ropes before pushing Ratchet off him. Ratchet bounced off the ropes back to Sora, and sild between his legs to Sora's surprise. The lombax stood up behind Sora and when Sora turned around, Ratchet quickly hit a Headscissors Takedown on him! Sora rolled across the ring and stood against the corner, and Ratchet leaped at him, going for a Monkey Flip. Sora got out from under him, and Ratchet fell face-first onto the turnbuckle. The lombax backed out of the corner in a daze, and Sora leaped at the ropes and nailed a Springboard Back Elbow, followed by a cover! 1...2...Kick out! Sora picked up Ratchet and hit a Snap Suplex before landing a Jumping Elbow Drop.

"Sora finally manages to get some offense in on Ratchet here!" Church stated.

"About time! Those Sony Saints don't deserve to even be in control at any point!" Sarge said.

Sora picked up Ratchet and dragged him over to his corner and tagged in Riku. Riku got in and both grabbed Ratchet from behind and landed a Double Back Suplex! Riku pinned Ratchet as Sora got on the apron! 1...2...Ratchet kicks out! Riku stood up and stomped on Ratchet a few times before picking him up and nailing a few rights to the skull before lifting him up and nailing a hard Scoop Slam. Riku bounced off the ropes and when he came to the downed Ratchet, nailed a Jumping Knee Drop across the face. Ratchet sat up holding his face before rolling over to the ropes near his corner. He used them to get up to his feet, but Riku suddenly Clotheslined him over the ropes! Riku turned his back away and raised his hands in triumph with a cocky smirk...

...but Ratchet had landed on the apron, unknown to Riku. Ratchet stood up on the arpond, and waited for Riku to turn around...

"Oh boy, Ratchet's about to fly and Riku doesn't have a clue!" Church stated.

"No! Riku don't turn around! You won't like it!" Sarge shouted at Riku, who was likely not listening.

Riku continued to gloat, until Sora told him that Ratchet was still there! Confused, Riku turned around...ONLY FOR RATCHET TO NAIL A SPRINGBOARD DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! Riku is down as Ratchet makes the cover!

1...

2...

No! Riku manages to kick out!

Ratchet drags Riku to his corner and tags in Jak. They put Riku up against their corner before backing up a bit, then Jak whipped Ratchet at Riku. Ratched nailed a Stinger Splash on Riku before throwing him to Jak...WHO NAILS A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! Jak drops for the cover as Ratchet gets on the apron! 1...2...

Riku manages to kick out! Jak picks up Riku and grabs him in Sidewalk Slam position and drops him across the knee in a Backbreaker. Jak climbed up to the second turnbuckle, and landed a Diving Forearm Drop across the skull of Riku. Jak with the cover! 1...2...Riku kicks out at 2.5! Jak picked up Riku and nailed a Gutwrench Suplex on the Keyblade Wielder. Jak got him to his feet, and whipped him hard into the turnbuckle! Riku slumped in there as jak ran full speed, but Riku caught him with a foot to the jaw! Jak backed out of the corner and Riku ran at him...

...ONLY FOR JAK TO HIT AN STO OUT OF NOWHERE! Jak hooks the leg! 1...2...Riku shoots the shoulder out! Jak picked up Riku and dragged him to his corner. But before he could reach it, Riku grabbed him a Full Nelson from behind...Full Nelson Slam! Jak held his head as Riku got onto his knees panting before going to his corner and tagging in Sora!

"Yes! Riku manages to tag in Sora! Finally control out of the Saints!" Sarge cheered.

"And Sora's about to fly just like Ratchet did earlier!" Church said.

Sora readied himself on the apron as Jak got up...Sora leaped on the top rope...SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO THE CHEST! Jak got to his knees holding his chest before Sora backed him up to the ropes before whipping him to the adjacent. When Jak bounced off them, he was greeted by a Spinning Heel Kick to the jaw! Jak held his jaw as he got to his knees...AND WAS DEALT A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SKULL! Jak fell to the ground on his back, and Sora leaped at the ropes and nailed a Springboard Moonsault! Cover on Jak!

1...

2...

Jak kicks out!

Sora picked up Jak and wrapped in a waistlock before planting him with a German Suplex! Sora then made his way onto the apron and climbed up the nearest turnbuckle. Once on top, he waited for the Eco Man to get back to his feet. Once Jak did, Sora dived off...only to be caught by Jak! Jak lifted Sora up...

...AND PLANTED HIM WITH AN URANAGE! Jak hooks the leg!

1...

2...

Sora manages to kick out!

Jak quickly grabs the leg of Sora and spins around for a Figure-Four Leglock, but when his back was turned, Sora used his free leg to kick Jak away! Jak goes crashing into the steel post through the turnbuckles shoulder-first, Jak goes staggering out of there, holding his shouder, when Sora suddenly grabbed him in an Inverted Facelock...flashed a cocky smirk at Sly ringside...

...AND PLANTED JAK WITH A ROLLING CUTTER!

"HEY! That was Sly's Honor Among Thieves! Sora just took a jab at Sly ringside!" Church stated.

"Haha! Glorious! Glorious! You make the Reds proud with your actions!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sly frowned as Sora hooks the leg!

1...

...

2...

...

No! Jak manages to kick out before the three!

Sora dragged Jak over to his corner and tagged in Riku, and the two picked up Jak and hit a Double Suplex on him! Riku covers Jak! 1...2...Jak rolls the shoulder out! Riku picked up Jak in a Front Facelock and kneed him in the gut several times before whipping him into the corner. Riku then ran at Jak and nailde a vicious Drive-By Kick across the skull of Jak! The Eco Man fell to the ground in a heap, and Riku quickly picks him up and nails a Spinning Neckbreaker! 1...2...

Jak rolls the shoulder out! Riku picked him up and placed him in the Suplex position, lifting him up...he bounced him off the ropes by the legs...and lands a Slingshot Suplex! Riku then ran at the ropes and back and nailed a Jumping Knee Drop across Jak's skull! Riku covers! 1...2...Jak kicks out! Riku was starting to get annoyed as Jak managed to get to his knees before Riku took him back with a Big Boot to the skull! Riku decides to finish things and picks Jak and places him between his legs to a mixed reaction.

"Oh boy, it may be time for the Way to Dawn!" Church stated.

"Yes! Do it Riku! Take down that stupid Sony Saint! I want to see it!" Sarge said.

Riku hooked him up and went for the Way to Dawn (Neutralizer)...but Jak suddenly Back Body Drops him! The crowd cheers as Riku arches his back and Jak falls to a knee in exhaustion. Riku manages to get back to his feet and goes for a Clothesline, but Jak ducks it. Riku stumbles forward before turning back to Jak...the Eco Man suddenly lifts Riku onto his shoulders...Jak spins him off his shoulders...

...AND PLANTS HIM WITH THE ECO TWIST (Fireman's Carry Spun into Flapjack)

"ECO TWIST OUT OF NOWHERE!" Church exclaimed. "This is the chance Jak needs! He needs to make the tag!"

"But he won't be able to make it!" Sarge exclaimed. "He's a stupid Saint, and Saints can't get anything done."

Both men were laid out as Ratchet began to slam his foot on the steel steps, leading the crowd and Sly to clap their hands to get Jak going! Eventually, both men stirred and slowly began to make their way to their corners. Ratchet and Sora extended their arms, begging for them to be tagged in. Both reached their hands out towards their partners...

...AND TAGGED THEM IN! The crowd cheered as Sora got into the ring and ran at Ratchet, only to be taken down by a Springboard Crossbody from the Lombax! Sora got back to his feet, but was immediately taken by a Clothesline! Ratchet then immediately followed with a big-time Dropkick as Sora got back up! The Keyblade Wielder rolled over to the ropes, and Ratchet picked him up and whipped him to the adjacent ones. Ratchet went for a Back Body Drop, but Sora leapfrogged over him and ran at the ropes once more. Ratchet turned around, and Sora came back at him...

...ONLY FOR HIM TO GET TAKEN DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM FROM RATCHET! The crowd was fired up as was Ratchet from the hot tag! Sora arched his back as he got back up, and tried to go for an Enziguri, but Ratchet caught the leg, causing Sora to fall on his back. Ratchet grabbed the other leg and dragged him to the nearby corner...AND CATAPULTED HIM INTO IT! Sora's face bounced off the turnbuckle, and he backed out of it and turned around dazed...AND GETS A SIT-OUT JAWBREAKER FROM RATCHET!

"There's that signature Sit-Out Jawbrekaer of Ratchet!" Church said. "This could be it!

Ratchet quickls hooks both legs!

1...

...

2...

...

SORA KICKS OUT AT 2.8!

"Yes! Thank you Sora for kicking out!" Sarge cheered.

Ratchet picked up Sora and hooked him up for the Ratchet-Plex! He lifted him up, but Sora got out of hold suddenly and landed behind Ratchet. Ratchet turned around, only to get an Enziguri kick to the skull! Ratchet falls to his knees in a daze, and Sora bounces off the ropes and hits a Running Bulldog! Sora hooks the leg! 1...2...NO! Ratchet kicks out! Sora then went to corner, getting on the apron and climbing up the turnbuckle. Ratchet managed to get to his feet and Sora dived off...

...RATCHET DROPKICKS HIM IN MID-AIR! Sora is writhing in pain on the mat before he managing to get to his feet, but Ratchet grabs him from behind and hooks him up...RATCHET-PLEX! COVER!

1...

...

2...

...

SORA KICKS OUT!

"How the hell did Sora kick out of that?!" Church exclaimed.

"It was the power of the Reds, making sure that he didn't lose to a damn Saint!" Sarge stated.

Ratchet picked up Sora and placed him between his legs, hooking the arms. The crowd cheered as he went to lift him up...but Riku suddenly clotheslines him hard! The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Ratchet was dropped, letting go of Sora, and Riku went to pick him up...BUT GETS SPEARED BY JAK! The Eco Man picked up Riku and tried to lift him up for the Jakhammer, but Riku refused to be lifted fully off the ground. They Keyblade Wielder suddenly kneed Jak in the gut, stunning him, and Riku quickly landed a Double Underhook Suplex on Jak! The Eco Man rolled out of the ring, and Riku turned his attention back to Ratchet...ONLY FOR RATCHET TO HIT HIM WITH A SIT-OUT JAWBREAKER! Riku stumbled back into the ropes from the impact, and was promptly clotheslined over the top rope by Ratchet and to the ground! Ratchet turned back to Sora and went to pick him up...Sora grabbed his legs in a Double Leg Takedown! The crowd popped as Ratchet squirmed in the grip of Sora.

"Oh boy, Key Shooter coming!" Church exclaimed.

"This will make Ratchet tap out like the bitch he is!" Sarge stated.

Sora tried to go for the Key Shooter (Sharpshooter), but Ratchet kept squirming in his grip. Ratchet suddenly used his leg strength to spin Sora off his legs and onto the mat. Both men scrambled to their feet and Ratchet jumped up and nailed a Jumping Complete Shot on Sora! Sora was laid out as Ratchet got on the apron and climbed the turnbuckle. As he did, Sora managed to get to his feet, and when he turned around, Ratchet dived off...

...grabbed Sora's head for the Diving Blockbuster...

...SORA HELD ONTO HIM! The crowd is in disbelief as Sora caught Ratchet and was now holding him upside down like a Suplex! Sora then sat-out and planted Ratchet with a Sit-Out Suplex Facebuster! Sora then turned Ratchet over, grabbed the legs, and wrapped them around his own...

...AND TURNS OVER FOR THE KEY SHOOTER!

"KEY SHOOTER LOCKED IN!" Church exclaimed. "Will Ratchet tap out here?"

"Tap out, you stupid Lombax! Tap out!" Sarge urged.

Ratchet cried out in pain as the hold was locked in, Sora placing a huge amount of torque on the hold. Ratchet tried to crawl towards the ropes for a break, but Sora was not moving an inch and only applied even more leverage on the hold, causing even more pain to the Lombax. After a minute or so, Ratchet raised his hand into the air...

...it shaked uncontrollably and inched downwards a few times...

...JAK NAILS A FLYING FOREARM SMASH ON SORA! Sora lets go of the hold as he falls to the ground and roll to the corner. Jak goes over to Sora and began stomping a mudhole in Sora as he sat in the corner relentlessly. He picked up Sora and rammed his shoulder into his gut several times before grabbing his arm and whipping him...

...Sora reversed and whipped Jak instead...

...INTO A FLAPJACK FROM A RECOVERED RIKU! Jak rose to his knees holding his abdomen, and Sora and Riku nodded at each other before Riku turned Jak around and lifted him onto his shoulder. Sora grabbed Jak's head in an elevated Front Facelock...

...AND THEY HIT THE KEYBLADE (Snapshot)!

"KEYBLADE CONNECTS!" Sarge cheered. "SO AWESOME!"

"BUT JAK ISN'T THE LEGAL MAN!" Church reminded.

Jak bounced off the mat and rolled out of the ring and Sora and Riku gave each other a fist bump before turning around...

...AND RECIEVE A DOUBLE DIVING BLOCKBUSTER! The crowd cheers loudly as both Keyblade Wielders are folded up like accordions, and Ratchet gets up, shaking his hand with renewed fire. Riku gets up first holding his neck and runs at Ratchet for a clothesline, but Ratchet ducked it. Riku turned around, only to be kicked in the gut. Ratchet hooked him up and lifted him up...

...AND DELIVERS THE TURBO VELOCITY!

"TURBO VELOCITY!" Church exclaimed. "Riku is now out of here!"

"And Sora's next!" Sarge cried out.

Ratchet pushed Riku away and he rolled out of the ring, allowing Ratchet to turn his attention to Sora. Sora managed to make it to his feet and turned around, only to be kicked in the gut. Ratchet placed him between his legs and hooked him up...

...only for Sora to hit him with a Back Body Drop! Sora turns it into a Bridging Pinfall!

1...

...

2...

...

RATCHET KICKS OUT BEFORE THREE!

Both men scrambled to their feet and Ratchet delivered a HARD Knife Edge Chop, earning a "Wooo!" from the crowd. Ratchet then whipped Sora into the ropes, and threw a foream at him as he came back, but Sora ducked it. As Ratchet turned around, Sora leaped at the ropes and executed a Springboard Moonsault, grabbing Ratchet's head in a Rear Chancery, and planted him with a Reverse DDT! Cover! 1...2...

RATCHET KICKS OUT! Sora got up and the ref checked on the downed lombax. As the Lombax managed to get to his knees, Sora ran at the ropes and bounced off them...

...and Sly nonchalantly trips him up with his cane from ringside!

"HEY! That damn coon just tripped Sora up!" Sarge exclaimed.

"And the ref is too busy checking on Ratchet to see it!" Church stated.

Sly whistled as if nothing happened as Sora stumbled forward from being tripped. Ratchet noticed this and took advantage, standing up and kicking Sora. He hooked Sora up...

...AND HITS THE TURBO VELOCITY! Ratchet with the cover!

"And Ratchet gets 100% Turbo Velocity!" Church stated.

"No! No! No! Sora, kick out, please, I beg of you!" Sarge begged.

"In the words of Vegeta, this is..." Church said.

1...

"Game..."

...

2...

"Set..."

...

3!

"...and Match!" Church finished.

"Noooooooooooo!" Sarge cried out.

("One-X" by Three Days Grace)

The crowd cheered loudly as Ratchet stood up and raised his hands in triumph, with Jak sliding into the ring. Jak and Ratchet gave big-time smirks before high-fiving each other and continued celebrating their victory in the ring. The ref soon came up to them and raised both hands in victory.

"Ref, don't raise their hands! They stole this victory! That damn Sly tripped up Sora! That Saint cheated!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Hey, it's Sly, what do you expect? He's like Eddie Guerrero, he cheats but at least he's honest about it. And hey, this could be payback for Sora stealing his finisher!" Church explained.

"Dammit!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sly walked up the steps, cane on his shoulder and his signature grin on his face, and he entered the ring. He gave his two friends a round of applause before giving them high-fives and then low-fives before raising both of their hands in the air to signify their victory. Sly shouted out "The Sony Saints are going to OWN the Royal Rumble!" before the three exited the ring and made their way up the ramp. The three stood on the stage and raised their hands in triumph.

"The Sony Saints continue their win steak here on Flame! With major momentum, can a Sony Saint take home the Royal Rumble?" Church questioned.

"No! No! No! They can't win the Rumble! Please if there is a God up there, you will not allow a Saint to win! Please! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!" Sarge pleaded.

The scene goes to the backstage hallways on the Titantron, which shows Grif standing in the hallways with a mic in hand, his stature obviously show his displeasure of being there.

"Good God..." Grif groaned. "Why do I have to be here? I told them a million times, Simmons and Donut are better suited for this crap. But nooooo...they have to put me in this hallway to wait to interview someone. I could be laying around snacking on some chips instead of being here. Dammit...well, someone's coming over here. Might as well get it over with so I can go back to lazing around."

Grif turned to the right and the camera panned out to show the UCA World Champion Mario making his way down the hallway, the live crowd booing him immensely. Mario made his way to Grif and was about to pass him until Grif held the mic in front of him.

"Hey Mario, can you just an answer a quick question?" Grif asked, wanting to get this over quickly. "Do you have anything to say about your upcoming Last Man Standing Match with Sonic?"

Mario just turned his head to Grif, glaring at the Red vs Blue soldier with narrowed eyes, an unreadable look in them. Mario just walked off then without so much as saying a word to him. This left Grif in complete bewilderment as he stood in the hallway.

"Okaaaaaayyyyy...?" Grif said. "What's his problem?"

"So Super Mario's too scared of his title defense to even do a title defense?" Grif turned around to see Ben Tennyson, a cocky smirk on his face. "Can't blame him though. It's only six days before he gets his ass whipped by Mario all over Chicago! He doesn't stand a chance! And he knows it, which is why he doesn't want to talk about his eventual defeat! Now if it were me in his place...well, taking Sonic out would be no problem! After all, I am the hero of UCA, the one the crowd just adores and can't get enough of! So if you are going to interview someone, let it be your hero!"

"Uh...alright." Grif just shrugged. "So anything you got to say?"

"Why yes I do Grif!" Ben chuckled. "I am coming off from a monumental victory over that little angel Pit! One that was never in doubt, and one that I won ALL BY MYSELF! It felt great as I finally got back at the stupid overrated angel for eliminating me in the Battle Royal two weeks ago! A Battle Royal I should have won! But that's alright, that's alright, because the wrong was righted big time last week, and now I'm setting my sights on an even BIGGER Battle Royal! That's right, Grif, I am setting my sights on the Royal Rumble! 30 men, fighting for the opportunity to main event Final Clash, UCA's grandest stage, in a World Title match! And trust me, your hero will kick the asses of 29 other enemies, and throw their asses over the top rope! Nothing's keeping me from that Final Clash main event!"

"That's a funny joke right there!" Ben narrowed his eyes as Naruto entered the scene. "You winning the Royal Rumble is pretty funny, Ben! You may be the top dog in CCW, but here in UCA, even if you have the Word Title here before, you don't even have a chance to win the Royal Rumble! When was the last time you did something here in this company? A phony hero like you shouldn't be the one to win the Royal Rumble! No, the one who should win the Royal Rumble for the second time is Konoha's #! Hyperactive Knuckleheaded Ninja, the next Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"As if kid." Ben smirked. "You may have been big in Fiction Wrestling once, but your stock has severely dropped to all-time lows in this business! You lost the IC Title two weeks after you won it back to Jason Krueger, then got your ass beat again at Ragnarok! Hell, the first time you won the Rumble, you choked at Final Clash! So basically, you winning the Rumble would be a disaster! The only one who can even be perfect to win the Rumble is your one, true hero, Ben Tennyson! And if you or any of the 28 other guys get in my name, then I'll just knock you all out with Galaxy Strikes if I have to! Why? Because I'm the best, plain and simple! This Royal Rumble...belongs to Ben Ten!"

"Heh, cocky guys like you always say that, but in the end, they get their asses kicked all over the place." Naruto grinned. "No matter what hapens, I am POSITIVE that you won't win the Royal Rumble! And trust me when I say, that I will do all I can to become only the second two-time UCA Rumble winner in history...BELIEVE IT!"

Naruto then left Ben Ten, who just scoffed and left as well, leaving Grif all alone. He looked at both directions and said "Is the interview over? Alright! Now I can go back to just sitting down and doing nothing, taking awesome naps!"

"Hey Grif, come here, we need you to clean up this pile of garbage here!" Someone shouted off-screen.

"Goddammit..." Grif groaned.

The scene on the Titantron changes over to another area backstage, where Lightning was against the wall as she watched Starforce Megaman celebrate his victory.

"Did you see what happened out there?" Megaman said excitedly. "Did you see how I DESTROYED "Captain Has-Been" Fox McCloud out there? How I frickin' punted his damn head off his shoulders? Hah! No offense to fellow Rookie Revolution member, Taiki Kudo, but I think I just delivered the greatest punt EVER and took that has-been out of the game! One more veteran taken out of the game! God, does it feel so good!"

"I'll give you props, Megaman, I thoroughly enjoyed what you did Fox." Lightning stated. "About time someone put him out of his misery. And soon, another victory will follow once I retain my title at Royal Reckoning in that Triple Threat Match! I'll show everyone that I am sure as hell one to not be messed with."

"Speaking about your title match, I hear that you got something to say about that in just a little bit." Megaman smirked. "You'll say what you want to say regardless of what anyone else thinks."

"Of course, I've never really cared what anyone else thought about me." Lightning stated. "There's a lot wrong with my title match, even if I will retain it in the end, and I plan on making it known."

"Well, you got my support, sister! No doubt about it!"

Lightning and Megaman looked surprised at the new voice and suddenly, Johnny Cage of all freakin' people showed up on camera, earning boos from the crowd as he wore his cocky-ass smirk on his face.

"Make sure to give those stupid people a good mouthful of truth that they so deserve! They are going to get rocked no doubt about it! And then you'll go on to score a victory for the Rookie Revolution by beating those two bitches, Tifa and Peach! They won't stand a chance against you! You are going to dominate the division for MONTHS to come! High-five!"

Johnny raised his hand for a high-five with Lightning, and Megaman just looked bewildered while Lightning just facepalmed at Johnny's antics.

"Lightning, what is he doing here?" Megaman questioned.

"Well, Johnny here...is the newest member of the Rookie Revolution." Lightning stated.

"You can't be serious?!" Megaman asked surprised.

"No joke, people! Certified member right here!" Johnny smirked, showing off his RR armband. "And now that I've joined the Revolution, it's nowhere but up for me! Do you have any idea how much people have made out as a joke? Have ridiculed me? Laughed at me? Say I couldn't be something? So infuriating! But now that's all change, baby! Now that I'm a member of this great movement, Souichi is going to lead me to greatness! He's going to propel me to heights that no one thought I could make it to! This is the Era of Johnny Cage now, baby, and I'm going to dominate Fiction Wrestling with the Rookie Revolution by my side! You can bank on that, baby!"

Cage struck a pose as he finished his little speech, a cocky smirk on his face. Megaman just looked stunned at what he just saw, while Lightning just sighed at the antics of her fellow member.

"Just make sure you are worth the investment Souichi has placed on you." Lightning stated in cold fashion. "Don't be like Hotsuma from XCW and be an absolute waste of time for us."

"Gotcha, Lightning baby!" Johnny stated with a thumbs-up. "I'm going to be the best damn investment ever! Hostuma ain't got nothing on this piece of nut punching talent!"

"Right..." Lightning sweat-dropped. "Well, I got to go. It's time for my little segment."

Lightning then left her fellow male members of the Revolution, and Johnny placed an arm around his shoulder, devious smirk on his face. "Since she's gone, how about you and I go pick up some hot chicks? Deserving for a pair of RR members such as ourselves. I know a piece of hot ass we would just enjoy..."

---

"Johnny Cage? A member of the Rookie Revolution? Oh God..." Church groaned.

"Yes! Johnny Cage is now in presence of winners! Cage is a member of the Revolution, and now he will go onto greatness!" Sarge cheered.

"Yeah right, I don't care who Johnny's with, he will fail and be a joke, like he's always been. Wonder how long it'll be before the RR realize how worthless his ass is and dump him..." Church said.

"Screw you! Johnny Cage is awesomesauce, and he will win a championship with the help of the Rookie Revolution! He will make the Reds proud!" Sage proclaimed.

"Yeah, somehow I doubt that..." Church deadpanned.

("Playing the Saint" by Digital Summer)

The crowd gave out louds boos as moments later, Lightning came out with her title in one hand. The Valhalla warrior looked out towards the crowd for a moment with her stoic expression before turning around, and showing off the "RR" initials on the back of her jacket, inciting even more boos. Lightning then made her way down the ramp and walked up the steps before entering the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the UCA Women's Champion, Lightning Farron!"

"In six days time, Lightning will defend her Women's Title against Tifa and Peach in a Triple Threat Match!" Church exclaimed. "First one to gain pinfall or submission is champion!"

"And that puts Lightning at such an unfair advantage!" Sarge stated. "She has only a 33% chance of winning, and she doesn't even have to be involved in the decision to lose her title! This is so unfair!"

"Though Lightning is confident she will retain, she doesn't like the match anymore than you do. And she has some things to say about her title defense apparently." Church said.

Lightning grabbed herself a mic and stood in the ring, throwing her title over her shoulder and staring out at the crowd before speaking. "This Sunday at Royal Reckoning...I must defend my UCA Women's Title in a Triple Threat Match. My challengers? Princess Peach and Tifa Lockhart...There are so many things wrong with that you can't even imagine. So wrong it's just disgusting to me. You wanna know what I mean? Simple. The first thing is Princess Peach. If there was ever a definition of a has-been girl, Peach would be the picture for it. Seriously, this damsel in distress doesn't know when to call it quits. She had her peak in 1994, and she's been some little bitch who refuses to let go of her glory days ever since! When she finally retired from UCA in 2000, you would think that she finally decided to let go and let the new generation take their place! But no, she decided to go back on her retirement, and come back to UCA along with the rest of Mushroom has-beens! She's not even that good even more! She sucks ass at wrestling! The only reason she won the Women's Title last year was because she was riding the damn coattails' of Mario! It was disgusting to see her get title shot after title shot, but at least my title defense was one-on-one then...until Tifa came into picture. Tifa Lockhart...the original Final Fantasy girl of Fiction Wrestling...the five-time Women's Champion...another has-been in this company. She was admittedly good at one point, but she just became like Peach in no time: past her peak and refusing to let newer people get the shot. What was supposed to be between me and Peach suddenly had her inject herself into it because she didn't like a few words that I said? Because she didn't like my attitude? Bullshit if you ask me. Her time is over and she should just let me take over as the Final Fantasy girl in Fiction Wrestling, but she didn't like that idea. Because of her stubborness and jealousy of me, she begged for a title shot, and eventually given it. The fact that I have to defend my title in a Triple Threat when it supposed to be a singles match, especially against veterans like Tifa and Peach...it just makes me sick. I can think of very few injustices done worse to a member of the Rookie Revolution than this. But as wrong as it was...it won't matter, because I will defeat both of them this Sunday. Why? Because I am the greatest UCA Women's Champion ever. Yeah, I said it. I'm the greatest, and it's true. It's damn true. My skill exceeds anyone who has held this belt before. No one can match me in this company, and no one ever will. And at Royal Reckoning, I will..."

("My Last Breath" by Evanescence)

The crowd cheered loudly as Lightning snapped her head towards the stage and Tifa came out, a frown on her face and mic in hand. After staring down Lightning she made her way down the ramp and entered the ring, purpose in her step.

"Tifa has made her big entrance, and I think it's clear she's had enough of Lightning's talk." Church said.

"Gah, why she had to come out? I was enjoy Lightning's words."

"Well if it isn't Tifa, the has-been girl from Final Fantasy VII." Lightning remarked. "It's typical that you would come out here and interrupt..."

"Lightning, shut up! I think we've had enough of your mouth. Tifa stated strongly, creating loud cheers from the crowd. "You know I can handle all the talk about me being a has-been and being jealous of you. It really doesn't effect me since I know what you say doesn't mean much. But when you say you are the greatest UCA Women's Champion ever, that's when I step in. You think you are the greatest? You think you are better then the past women who have held that title? You think you are better than Android 18, the only women to be in 3 straight Final Clash Women's Championship matches, and win all three of them?! You think you are better than the Wretched Egg, who had the most dominant Women's Championship reign in the history of this company? You think you are better than Green, the woman who held that title longer then anyone at 14 months?! You think...you are better than Sonya Blade, the six-time Women's Champion and the woman who carried the Women's division of UCA in it's first years? If you do, then you are SORELY delusional. Your ego has inflated to unbelievable heights if you believe what you have just said. What you have done in just one year does not make you better than all those woman, and I'm going to prove that this Sunday, when I take your Women's Title from you after I knock you out!"

"Knock me out? Take my Women's Title?" Lightning asked incredulously. "That's a laugh if I've ever seen one! Maybe long ago you and I would be on equal levels, but not anymore! You're old! You're washed up! No matter your accomplishments, you can't keep up with me now! I am the better woman, obviously, and I will prove that this Sunday when I take out both you and Peach! If you won't move out of my way...THEN I WILL MAKE YOU A CASUALTY OF THE ROOKIE REVOLUTION! And take my rightful place as the premiere Final Fantasy girl of Fiction Wrestling."

Tifa remained silent for a few moments, tapping the mic in her hands before speaking. "Rookie Revolution..." Tifa said slowly. "You know that's all I hear about these days...Rookie Revolution this, Rookie Revolution that...about how they trash us veterans like no tomorrow...well I think it's time I said my piece on this Revolution, more specifically...your leader, Souichi Sagano." Lightning narrowed her eyes. "Souichi...the general of the revolution. The one who created this group of yours. He has proclaimed that it's time for the veterans of old to get out, and for rookies and others to be handed all the title shots. He's the revered leader of this group, held in a glorious light, but there's something you need to know. In my opinion...the Rookie Revolution...is nothing more than Souichi's creation to help further his own career."

Lightning's eyes widened as she said "What?" before Tifa continued. "You heard me. Souichi only created the Revolution to further himself up the ladder. I mean after all, when Souichi first debuted on Animated, he expected so much to be handed to him, to be given to him. He expected to be given a fast ride to the top, with titles and spotlight galore...but it didn't happen. He wasn't bathing in titles and spotlight like he thought would, and it angered him to realize he actually had to work for his share. So he created the T.R.U.T.H with Greg and Rowley to try and push himself upward. He dropped "pipebombs" left and right about the workings of WWE and tried to push Greg and Rowley to the top, all to once again get himself noticed and get all the success he craved...but he didn't. It wasn't enough and why? Because he wasn't that impressive. The people quite frankly weren't blown away by what Souichi had to offer, and it killed him inside. He hated the fact that all his success in CAWF wasn't getting him title shots and promotions right off the bat like he thought would. That he wasn't being put on such a high ladder from his debut."

Lightning practically seethed in front of Tifa as she continued. "That's when he came up with an idea. A genius idea to put himself in the limelight and make himself the biggest thing in Fiction Wrestling. The Rookie Revolution. By dropping pipebombs against the veterans and slamming them down, and bringing rookies together to fight the veterans in a war, he would put himself a spotlight so big it satisfied his big-time ego. It put him on the fast track to titles and success, an easy ride to the top as he led the Rookie Revolution in a "righteous" war against the veterans. It's funny though, that he's leading the Revolution...because from what I've seen, he hasn't done jack shit! Look at the other members of the Revolution! Rukia's taking it to Asui in UWE and attacking other female wrestlers, Taiki's taking on the Z-Fighers on Animated, Starforce took on Fox and punted him in the skull as much as I find it disgusting, and even you have success as Women's Champion. What has Souichi done? Well he's talked...and talked...and talked...and talked. That is all he has done...talk and talk while the other members do all the work for the Revolution. He has been apart of gang beatdowns for sure, but seriously, that's nothing tough or memorable. He's let you all fight the veterans while he takes credit for bringing this together. Hell, many of you already had success before joining the Revolution and were brought in his persuasive words, and now he's using your success to make himself even bigger to everybody, like some great savior of rookies as he helped everyone to success! Souichi has done nothing but talk, while everyone else has done all they can for this Revolution!"

"And I know you will likely say, 'What about people like Johnny Cage? He ain't successful.' Simple. He brought Johnny in because he wants the glory that comes with making Johnny a success. If Johnny, Greg ,and Rowley become big-time players in Fiction Wrestling while part of the Revolution, he can smirk and say 'Hey, I was the one that brought them out of the rut! I led them to their success! I helped them reach those heights.' Souichi wants the credit that goes with making such people big-time stars, that's all. Souichi is using the Revolutions, its member and their successes as a way to propel himself to bigger heights, to reach the big-time scene much faster and with less work. He didn't want to work his ass off like people like Ash Ketchum and CM Punk had done, because it would take years and he wanted the success fast and easy, so he created this whole thing! This group is just to make Souichi a big star! After all, who's the most-talked about member of the group? Souichi, all for creating it and for making big talk while everyone else fights."

"If the Rookie Revolution beat Team Veteran at Best in the World, then all the members will definitely become bigger people, but it will be Souichi who comes out the biggest star of them all and gets all the success and World Title shots and promotion as he was the one who led the Revolution to victory. If they lose, the Revolution will likely disband, but Souichi will still come out bigger than he was before, and he will be the only one to have benefited from the whole ordeal. That's the truth, Lightning. This Revolution is all about Souichi getting the success he didn't get at first and whined for. Now...I know you members will likely just scoff at my words or simply say how wrong I am. I know Souichi will call my words laughable, and drop a 'pipebomb'..." Tifa made air quotes as she said this. "...about me being senile, a has-been, old, that I am no longer relevant, am past my prime, trying to break up the Revolution, and all that same old crap. And quite frankly, I could care less what that asshole says about me. I've heard much worse said to me. This is what I think is the truth, and I hope everyone swallows what I said hard and considers it, because they'll find that it may be right. You Rookie Revolution members say that we no longer matter, that we have been here for too long, that you will take us out and make Fiction Wrestling the place for you...well listen up. You can hurt us, you can take us out, pin us, you can even beat the veterans at Best in the World...but know this...You will NEVER be as big as the names you beat! And that is THE TRUTH!"

The crowd went "Ooooooh" as everyone was in shock at what Tifa said. Lightning looked absolutely livid at what she just heard, while Church and Sarge sat in disbelief.

"Oh my God..." Church muttered. "I can't believe what I just heard...Tifa just dropped one whopper of a pipebomb on everyone. A dose of what she believes to be the truth."

"She can't be right...she just can't be! Sarge exclaimed. "Tifa has to be jealous of the Rookie Revolution! Jealous of how quick their success it! There's no way she can be right!"

Lightning glared at Tifa with a hatred that had never been seen in her before before raising the mic to her lips. "How...HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU SLANDER THE GOOD NAME OF OUR LEADER! OUR GENERAL! SOUICHI IS THE MAN WHO BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER, AND GAVE US THE TRUTH! HE'S THE ONE THAT MADE THIS REALITY AND HELPED US FIGHT OFF VETERANS LIKE YOU! YOU HAVE NOW JUST SIGNED YOUR DEATH WARRANT, LOCKHART! THIS SUNDAY, I AM GOING TO TAKE YOU OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL ALONG WITH THAT DAMN PEACH! AT ROYAL RECKONING, I WILL FINALLY REMOVE THE CANCER KNOWN AS YOU FROM UCA!"

"Say that all you want...but it won't matter in the end." Tifa stated strongly. "The talking is over now, Farron, and I am going to do all I can to deal the biggest blow I am able to against the Rookie Revolution in six days. This Sunday, I am going to show you first-hand that you have a LONG WAY to go before you are even close to being the greatest, that all your talk is nothing. I will humble you, I will gain my sixth Women's Title...and I will knock...you...THE FUCK OUT!"

The crowd was absolutely unglued as the two Final Fantasy girls stared each other with fire in their eyes. Eventually, Lightning turned away to leave the ring...

...LIGHTNING TURNS AROUND AND SWUNG HER BELT AT TIFA! Tifa ducks the shot and Lightning stumbles forward and turns around. Tifa goes for Premium Heart! Lightning ducks it and slides out of the ring! Lightning backs up the ramp holding her title belt, glaring at Tifa as Tifa returns the glare as she leaned against the ropes.

"Lightning tried to take Tifa's head off and is now in full retreat!" Church said. "This was not how Lightning wanted this segment to go!"

"Dammit! This is a nightmare!" Sarge exclaimed. "Lightning has been upstaged by Tifa! I hope Lightning destroys her at Royal Reckoning!"

Lightning backed herself all the way to the ramp and glared at Tifa from there before raising her title belt into the air with one hand, shouting "I am the UCA Women's Champion, bitch! And I am not going to let you take this from me! The Rookie Revolution will bowl you over!" Lightning continued to glare at Tifa from the ramp with title raised...

...PEACH HITS LIGHTNING FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

"OH SHIT!" Church exclaimed. "It's Peach, the third girl in the equation!"

"And she just scored big-time with that steel chair across the back!" Sarge stated.

Lightning fell down on the stage, writhing in pain and agony as Peach stood over her with an angry look on her face, shouting "You don't forget me at all, brooding bitch!" With that said, she picked up the Women's Title off the ground. With a look at Tifa, she placed the title over her shoulder as if it were hers, and stared down Tifa from the ramp and standing over Lightning, with Tifa staring down Peach just as fiercely.

"This whole match-up just got more heated!" Church said. "Three women, but only one title at Royal Reckoning!"

"It's all about the UCA Women's Title, and only one can come out on top as champion!" Sarge said. "And I hope that it's not Tifa!"

---

The scene switches to the Titantron, which shows the backstage hallways and Jason Krueger walking down them with title belt over his shoulder and a sick smirk on his face. Eventually, Link walked towards him from the opposite direction. The two soon walked by each other and stopped, with Link glaring at Jason while Jason just smirked at the Hero of Time.

"What you did last week was just despicable, an action ranked among the lowest of lows." Link stated. "How you can be proud of such a thing I do not know."

"Says the irrelevant veteran that no longer has it anymore." Jason chuckled. "I did what I did to Pit because he deserved for his sins. He's an angel, but he's actually far from it. His goddess is nothing but a sham, the furthest from the light as possible. What I did to Pit was deserved, and now look at him. Broken, depressed, heartache, emotionally wrecked...hehe, what I did has destroyed him mentally, and as such, my victoy at Royal Reckoning is assured! I will retain my Intercontinental Title, and then be the second person to win the UCA Rumble from #1. It's the truth. My, my, this Sunday, I will have my easiest title defense yet."

Link glared at Jason hard until he saw something behind Jason and smirked. "Is that so? You may want to turn around, Jason. You may find those words to be wrong." Link then left out of the camera's view.

Jason was confused and turned around...was met with the angel himself, Pit! The crowd cheered as Pit glared at Jason, who just chuckled at the sight of Pit.

"Well if it isn't the little so-called angel." Jason grinned maniacally. "Surprised you are even here. Still crying over what I did to your precious statue? How much I disrespected your goddess, despite how deserved it was? Realize that I am right about everything I have said? That you have no chance against me?"

"You know...after watching you did, I spent the rest of the week by myself, meditating and praying to Palutena." Pit informed him, bowing his head down. "With my heart torn, my emotions struck like never before, I prayed before Palutena, hoping to find some resolution to the pain I felt. I will admit, what you did I have never experienced before. Your disgrace of Palutena and Heaven was something that struck me more than anything has ever done. But at the end of the week, after all that meditating...I have now come to a realization..."

Pit suddenly shot his head up with a fierce glare, surprising Jason. "I CANNOT let you get away this Sunday! You want to know why I fight? Why I wrestle? Despite being an angel? It's because of people like you. It's because of people like you that inhabit this word! It's because of people like Ben running over Autocylus in CCW! Itachi chokeslamming his brother to oblivion on Animated! You disgracing Heaven itself. Evil like you exists in the world and in this business, there has to be beings like me who keep the light alive! Who keep the light strong to fight against your evil brand of darkness! I fight so that such evils do not take over Fiction Wrestling completely! Through Palutena, I have gained the strength and resolve needed to fight you! You tried to hurt me emotionally to make your defense easier...but that backfired now, as it has only made my resolve to beat you even stronger! This Sunday, I will take your Intercontinental Title and end your reign of terror once and for all!"

Jason was in utter disbelief at what he just heard before he growled dangerously. "So you want to try and resist instead of staying down like a good little dog? Fine! You want to resist, then I'll just make your defeat more painful and excruciating then it was before! You will NOT defeat me this Sunday, I guarantee it! You will realize that your light cannot hope to match the darkness I have, little angel! Until then...here's a little present from me!"

Jason threw a punch at Pit...but Pit blocked it! Pit takes down Jason with a hard right of his own! Jason is down holding his face as Pit stands over Jason, a determined resolve in his face.

"At Royal Reckoning...the angel shall prevail over the devil. Keep those words in mind, Krueger."

Pit then left Jason as the IC Champion stood up, a menacing and evil expression on his face as he clutched his title belt tightly.

---

"Yeah, Jason's plan from last week backfired!" Church said. "Jason tried to play mind games...but it only made Pit even MORE determined in the end."

"Dammit, why didn't that angel just stay depressed?" Sarge cursed. "No matter! Jason will defeat Pit for the Reds in the end!"

"I don't know Sarge, Pit looked like he was ready for a fight, and it seems like he refuses to lose!" Church stated.

"So what? Jason will destroy him in the end!" Sarge stated.

"Well we'll find out once the angel and devil meet in six days." Church said.

("I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin)

The crowd gave out loud boos as Crunch Bandicoot came out onto the stage, looking out to the crowd with a dangerous smile. He popped his neck several times in preparation several times before smirking and walking down the ramp and entering the ring. He then walked over to the ropes and leaned against them, smirking cockily at the crowd.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the UCA Hardcore Championship! Introducing the challenger, from Wumpa Island, weighing in at 313 lbs., Crunch Bandicoot!"

"This match was made last week by Force to add to the go-home show for Royal Reckoning!" Church said. "And what better way to add to it than hardcore action!"

"Crunch is a hardcore competitor for sure!" Sarge stated. "He's been for Hardcore Champion a few times before, and will be challenge enough for ou current champion!"

("Bring It" by Trapt)

The crowd exploded into massive cheers as Senji came out onto the stage wearing his trademark black coat and the Hardcore Title over his shoulder. The Deadman wore a very excited smirk on his face as his body trembled with what was about to happen before he raised his title in the air, red pyro going off at the sides of him. Senji made his way down the ramp and slid into the ring. He climbed the nearest turnbuckle and raised the Hardcore Title high, his eager smirk on his face.

"And his opponent, from Deadman Wonderland, weighing in at 243 lbs., he is the reigning and defending UCA Hardcore Champion, Senji 'Crow' Kiyomasa!"

"Senji is coming off an incredible match with Red just last week!" Church said. "That match-up opened a lot of eyes to Senji, and this crowd is just loving him thanks to it!"

"If there is one person who knows how to be hardcore in UCA, it's Senji!" Sarge said. "But he will definitely have his hands full with Crunch here!"

"Well Senji loves a fight, and he will get it now!" Church stated.

Senji took off his coat before handing his title to the ref, who raised it into the air for all to see before handing it to ringside and then rang the bell. Crunch charged at Senji and threw a clothesline, but Senji ducked it. Crunch turned around and Senji delivered punches to the face of Crunch, backing him up into the corner. Once Crunch was in the corner, Senji delivered a few more punches before backing up a bit and running at Crunch, only for the bandicoot to catch him with a foot to the jaw. Senji backed away in pain and Crunch took him down with a huge clothesline! Crunch picked up Senji and kneed him several times in the gut before nailing a big Double Ax Handle across Senji's back, bringing him down to his knees. Chuckling at Senji, Crunch ran at the ropes and bounced off them...

...only to get taken down with a Spear from Senji! The crowd cheered as Senji rained down punches on the skull of Crunch before picking up the 313 pounder before grabbing his head and nailing a DDT on him! Cover! 1...2...Crunch kicks out! Senji rolls out of the ring and looks under the ring! Smirking, he pulls out a trash can filled with a weapons much to the delight of the crowd.

"Senji ain't wasting any time and is bringing in the hardcore goodies!" Church said.

"And Crunch is about to get rocked by them!" Sarge said.

Senji threw the trash can full of weapons into the ring and then sild into it as well, only to be taken down by a Big Boot from Crunch! The bandicoot stomped on the Deadman several times across the chest before picking him up and whipping him into the corner. Crunch then ran at Senji and nailed a Corner Clotheseline. Crunch went over to the trashcan and pulled out a trashcan lid from it. He waited for Senji to get up and when he did, he slammed the trash can lid across the skull! Senji staggered around in a daze before Crunch nailed a second shot with the lid, sending him down to the mat. Crunch with the cover! 1...2...

...Senji kicks out 2.5! Crunch picked up him up and lifted him up for a Fallaway Slam, but Senj flailed in his grip. The Deadman suddenly got out of his grip and quickly planted him with a Reverse STO! The bandicoot rolled over to the ropes as Senji held his skull in pain. Crunch got to his knees, and but Senji hit a hard boot across the skull, sending him through the ropes and down the mat outside. Senji grabbed the trash can and dumped the weapons inside out in the ring before getting onto the apron. Crunch got to his feet and Senji dived off...

...SLAMMING THE TRASH CAN OVER THE SKULL! Crunch dropped to the ground and Senji covered him on the outside!

1,,,

2,,,

Crunch kicked out!

"And Crunch lost a few brain cells with that shot over the skull!" Church said. "And with it being Falls Count Anywhere in a Hardcore Match, Senji nearly had Crunch!"

"But it will take much more than that to take down a big guy like Crunch!" Sarge stated.

Senji picked up the trash can and slammed it across the back of Crunch before throwing it aside. He went to pick up Crunch, but Crunch suddenly pushed him away, causing Senji to crash back-first into the steel steps! Senji groaned in pain as Crunch got to his feet, and Senji stood on his feet...

,,,AND CRUNCH SPEARS HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Senji's head bounces off the steps as one set is knocked over, and Crunch pulls him in for a cover!

1...

2...

Senji manages to kick out!

Crunch stands up and grabs the set of steel steps that was knocked over and with great strength lifts it up with ease. He stalks Senji as the Deadman slowly made his way to his feet. Senji turned around, and Crunch throws the steels steps at him! Senji sidesteps in time and the steel steps crash to the ground, Senji sliding into the ring quickly! Crunch growled as he followed Senji and slid into the ring after him, only to get a Kendo Stick to the head! Crunch drops to the ground from the impact as Senji grins like a madman before slamming the kendo stick across the abdomen several times, earning cries of pain from Crunch! Senji then picked up Crunch, placing the Kendo Stick across the neck before nailing a vicious White Russian Leg Sweep! Senji hooks the leg! 1...2...

Crunch kicks out 2.6!

"Crunch is just taking a beating out there right now!" Church stated. "Then again, that's to be expect when facing Senji!"

"But Crunch will no doubt come back when the time is right!" Sarge said. "He's definitely hardcore in his own right!"

Senji grabbed the kendo stick once more and climbed up to the second turnbuckle in the nearest corner. Once Crunch was up and facing him, Senji dived off, ready to bring the kendo stick down on Crunch...

...Crunch catches Senji in mid-air with a Big Boot! Senji lets go of the kendo stick as he crashes down the mat and Crunch growls at the downed Senji. Senji makes his way to his feet, only to be taken down with a Spinebuster from Crunch! The bandicoot picked up and with all his strength whipped Senji into the corner, the Deadman crashing chest-first into the corner. Crunch picked up a steel chair that was dumped from the trash can and waited as Senji got to his feet and turned around...

...AND CRACKS THE CHAIR ACROSS HIS SKULL! Senji falls to the ground on his back and Crunch makes the cover!

1...

...

2...

...

Senji rolls the shoulder out at 2.9! Crunch growls under his breath as Senji is bleeding from the head.

"Senji has been busted open!" Church said.

"And he can't control that blood of his in this match!" Sarge said. "So Senji is screwed!"

Crunch grabs the chair and places it in the center of the ring before picking up Senji, backing up a bit before lifting Senji on his shoulder. With a roar, Crunch ran full speed and slammed Senji onto the steel chair with a Running Powerslam! Senji arched his back in pain before Crunch made the cover! 1...2...

No! Senji kicks out before three! Crunch growled before picking up Senji and then lifted him into the air into a Military Press. With a dangerous gleam in his eye, Crunch ran full speed to throw him over the top rope and to the outside, but Senji slipped out of it the last minute and landed behind Crunch. Crunch turned around, only to be clotheslined over the top rope and to the outside! Wasting no motion, Senji quickly climbed the turnubkcle, and stood on top of it. Crunch got to his feet and turned around...

...ONLY FOR SENJI TO DIVE OFF AND HIT A DOUBLE AX HANDLE FROM THE TOP!

"Senji just went flying from the top to the outside!" Church exclaimed. "Damn, that was new from Senji!"

"That crazy Deadman will do anything it takes to win!" Sarge said.

Senji gave out a battle cry as the crowd cheered for him loudly before looking under the ring and pulling out a Stop Sign. With a chuckle and grin, Senji waited for Crunch to get up, and then slammed the sign across Crunch's skull! Crunch fell to the ground and Senji made the cover! 1...2...Crunch rolls the shoulder out! Senji picked up Crunch, but Crunch low blowed him to big boos from the crowd. Senji held his lower regions in pain before throwing Senji face-fist into the steel post! With a snarl, Crunch tore off the covering of the announce table and pulled out a TV monitor. With a sick grin on his face, Crunch waited for Senji to get up...

...AND NAILED HIM IN THE SKULL WITH THE MONITOR!

"OH MY GOD!" Church exclaimed. "Our TV Monitor was just smashed across Senji's skull!"

"Hah, looks like Senji's now the one losing brain cells!" Sarge laughed.

Crunch smirked at the fallen Senji before dropping for a cover!

SENJI KICKS OUT AT 2.8!

Crunch was angry at the kick out before picking up Senji and threw him into the ring. Crunch then looked under the ring for a bit before pulling out a table, much to the delight of the crowd. Crunch slid the table into the ring before sliding in himself, and then proceeded to set the table against the corner. Once set up, Crunch grabbed Senji and dragged him to the adjacent corner. He then lifted Senji onto his shoulder, and then ran full steam towards the table...

...Senji manages to land behind Crunch in time and pushes him towards the table. Crunch manages to stop himself in time and turns around, only to be kicked in the guy by Senji, who then hooks the arms...

...AND PLANTS HIM WITH CROW CLAW!

"Crow Claw!" Church said. "This could be it!"

CRUNCH KICKS OUT AT 2.9!

"No, it is not it, dirty Blue! Don't be so stupid, even if it natural!" Sarge said.

Senji stood up and grabbed the nearby chair, looking it with a crazed look in his eye. He eyed Crunch who was on his knees and slammed the chair across his back! Crunch cried out in pain, and Senji proceeded to slam the chair across the back again! Senji then repeatedly slammed the chair over and over again on Crunch before picking the bandicoot up to his knee and cracking the steel chair across his skull! Senji drops the chair and makes the cover!

Crunch rolls the shoulder at 2.9!

Senji was starting to get a bit frustrated as he stood up and grabbed the chair, placing it in the middle of the ring. He picked up Crunch and led him to the chair, he then hooked the arms for Crow Claw on the steel chair, but Crunch spun out of the hold, and pushed him into the ropes! Senji bounced off of them back to Crunch, and the bandicoot caught him, hooking him up and lifting him...

...AND HITS THE CORTEX CURSE (Irish Curse Backbreaker)!

"The dreaded Cortex Curse!" Church exclaimed.

"And that is a curse that will DOOM Senji! HAHAHAHA!" Sarge laughed maniacally.

Crunch hooked both legs!

...

NO! SENJI ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT AT 2.9!

Crunch was furious that didn't get the job done and landed a few punches to the skull before picking up the Deadman and placed him against the table in the corner. Crunch backed up a bit, a sadistic smirk on his face, before running full speed at Senji...

...Senji lifts his foot up and catches Crunch in the jaw! Crunch backed up from the hit, and Senji ran at the bandicoot! Crunch catches him and lifts him up, but Senji manages to land behind him! Senji grabs the chair as Crunch turns around...AND THROWS IT INTO THE SKULL OF CRUNCH! Crunch is dazed completely as he backs up towards the table in the corner..

...AND SENJI SPEARS HIM THROUGH THE TABLE!

"SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR!" Church said. "AND THROUGH THE TABLE NO LESS!"

"OH MY GOD! CRUNCH MAY BE BROKEN IN TWO!" Sarge shouted

Senji writhes in pain among the debris before managing to pull Crunch out of it and hooks the leg!

"Crunch..." Sarge began.

CRUNCH KICKS OUT AT 2.999!

"You Just Got...WHAT?! Crunch kicked out!" Sarge began.

"Crunch is fighting for that Hardcore Title, and refuses to lose here!" Church began.

Senji groaned in obvious frustration before getting up and placing the nearby chair in the middle of the ring again. He picks up, and with an enormous amount of strengths, lifts 313 lbs. onto his shoulders in Argentine Rack. Sweating in exertion, Senji was about to go for Invisible Black on the steel chair but Crunch landed behind and pushed him into the ropes. Senji bounced off them back to Crunch...

...AND INTO ANOTHER CORTEX CURSE! Crunch was panting as Senji was laid out, and decided to finish things. He picked up Senji and bent him forward before wrapping his arms around the waist to boos.

"Oh boy, it could be Crunch Time!" Church said.

"And this will crunch Senji into oblivion!" Sarge said.

With a roar, Crunch lifted Senji up for the Crunch time...

...but Senji used the momentum to twist himself mid-move and land behind Crunch! Before Crunch could figure out what was going on, he was once again lifted onto Senji's shoulder in an Argentine Rack. Senj position himself just right...

...AND HITS THE INVISIBLE BLACK ON THE STEEL CHAIR!

"INVISIBLE BLACK CONNECTS!" Church shouted. "Add a steel chair to the equation, and that's ball game!"

Crunch's head bounced off the steel chair and he landed on his back and Senji wasted no time in making the cover!

"Crunch..." Sarge began.

"You Just Got Sarge'd!" Sarge finished.

("Bring It" by Trapt)

"Here is you winner, and still UCA Hardcore Champion, Senji 'Crow' Kiyomasa."

The crowd was cheering loudly as the winner was announced, and Senji stood up, face bloodied but a victorious and satisfied smirk on his face. The ref handed him his title belt and the ref raised one hand in the air victory, while Senji used the other to raise his title.

"Senji knocks off a very game Crunch in what was a brutal Hardcore Match!" Church said.

"Crunch definitely nearly had it a few times, but in the end, the Hardcore Title stays in the hands of the 'Crow.'" Sarge stated.

Senji climbed up the turnbuckle and raised his Hardcore Title, shouting "Still the champ! Next stop: Royal Rumble win!" Senji then got off the turnbuckle and backed up the rampway, raising up his title in mere triumph, a wild grin on his face at having enjoyed the fight he was in.

"Senji's still the Hardcore Champ, and now he sets his sights on the big one, the Royal Rumble!" Church said.

"Senji is one of the favorites in many people's eyes heading into the match, but can he win?" Sarge questioned. "I don't think he can."

"Well we can only speculate until Sunday! After all, it can all come down to singular moment." Church said.

The scene goes to backstage, where we see Simmons in the interview area with a mic in hand.

"Man, that was one hell of a Hardcore Match!" Simmons stated. "A Hardcore Match that was obviously enhance by Sarge's great commentary! What an excellent job sir! Let's hope that Senji or Crunch are too banged up! Now, everyone knows Caboose interviewed the Elrics earlier, so now my guests are none other than their opponents, Team 2D!"

The cat and mouse duo appeared on the screen with the crowd booing them, determined expressions on their face.

"Now earlier in the night, the Elrics said that they know how good you are and respect that. But they also said they are just as good as you, if not better, and plan on proving it to you tonight! Your thoughts on those words?"

"Well, it's good to know the Elrics aren't COMPLETELY stupid and that they know the greatness that is Team 2D!" Tom said. "They realize that they are dealing with legends here, they are dealing with one of the best tag teams - wait, scratch that - THE best tag team in Fiction Wrestling today! Good that know that and respect that! They should! But saying they are just as good as us? Oh my God, I have never heard of something more ridiculous or laughable as that! Those Elric brothers are nowhere NEAR the level of Team 2D, and they never will be! They can be underdogs all they want and have their little Cinderella stories, but when they face us, it all means nothing in the end!"

"Yeah, and they want to talk about being signed to four different companies?" Jerry asked. "About winning the CASZ Tag Team Titles and the AWF Tag Team Titles? Please, the fact they are signed to four companies show how overrated they are! It shows that people place too much stock in them, when they are just all hype! And those Tag Titles of theirs? They mean nothing! Those titles have no prestige whatsoever, they are a waste of time! Those titles don't compare to the UWE Duos Titles, which we currently hold in UWE, or the UCA Tag Team Titles, which we have held a record seven-times! So frankly, they don't compare to us! And it is complete BULLSHIT to see them win the Tag Team of the Year Award!"

"Yeah, they don't deserve that Award one bit, we do!" Tom supported. "We won the Tag Team Match of the Year Award, so with such a match under our belts, we should be the ones who win the Tag Team of the Year Award too! But nooooo...the Elrics win it in a cheap popularity contest! Yeah that's right, the Elrics only won not because they earned it, but because they were popular with the crowd, which is just a travesty! Al deserved that Non-Stop Violence we gave him! That Award should have gone to us, but you know what, we'll prove to you all who the better tag team is tonight...AGAIN!"

"Yeah, the Elrics have NEVER beaten us!" Jerry smirked. "We beat them three weeks ago on Flame clean, and then we pinned their asses again at the Fiction Wrestling Awards! I think it's abundantly clear that we are the better team, but of course the Elrics want to be the big underdogs and try 'overcome the odds' by facing us again and try to beat us. And they honestly believe they can do it! But the truth is...they can't. And they never will. We are the best tag team in Fiction Wrestling...PERIOD! And we'll once again prove that tonight once we give those Elrics our brand of Non-Stop Violence!"

"And once we do that, WE'LL be heading to the Royal Rumble, while they are sitting in the back sulking over how weak they are." Tom smirked. "And who knows? Maybe one of us will win the Rumble! But until then...we got to go kick some Elric ass."

Tom and Jerry then gave each other a high-five before leaving the interview area.

---

"Tom and Jerry are confident as hell that they will have no problem beating the Elrics!" Church said.

"And why shouldn't they? As proud Reds, Tom and Jerry have accolades a mile long!" Sarge said. "The Elrics stand no chance!"

"Team 2D may be decorated, but the Elrics can definitely bring the fight to them!" Church said. "If Team 2D wins later tonight, it won't be easy as they claim it will be."

"Whatever, the Elrics suck, Team 2D, it's foregone conclusion." Sarge waved off.

"Well in any case..." Church trailed off. The camera shows the ring, which has a ladder set up in it and the Cruiserweight Title hanging high above it. "We got ourselves a bit of a set-up, and it's obvious what this is about..."

("I Came To Play" by Downstait)

"And it's obvious who this is." Church said.

The crowd gave out loud boos as Toad came out onto the stage with a mic in hand and a serious expression on his face. After looking out to the crowd for a bit, Toad made his way down the ramp before sliding into the ring.

"Toad defends his Cruiserweight Title in six days at Royal Reckoning against the rising star, Tidus." Church said. "No doubt Toad will definitely be out of his element here!"

"But no one ever thought Toad would make it this long as champion!" Sarge stated. "Hell, no one thought he would even become champion in the first place! Toad has proven all wrong before, and he will do it again Sunday!"

Toad stood beside the ladder in the ring looking it up and down before speaking. "A Ladder Match...the most exciting and possibly innovative match in wrestling history...and also one of the most dangerous. The match that was innovated by Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X. The match that was made famous by the Hardyz, the Dudleyz, and Edge and Christian! A match that has featured some of the most exciting, and jaw-dropping moments we have ever seen! It's hard to go through a Ladder Match without seeing at least one crazy moment happen. This is a match designed to be high-octane, risk-taking, and just flat-out crazy! This is a match that has come to benefit high-fliers more than anything! This is a match that favors the likes of Tidus...this is a match that supposedly puts me at a disadvantage..."

"That's what you all think, don't you?" Toad continued. "You think that with it being a Ladder Match, I got no chance! You think I will be so out of my element I can't win! You all think that after Tidus' performance in the Six-Man Ladder Match at the Fiction Wrestling Awards, I don't even stand a chance! Well guess what...YOU'RE ALL WRONG! See, Tidus can be the crazy high-flier if he wants. He can create jaw-dropping moments, and make you all jump out of your seats...but I am in this to win it, and in a Ladder Match, it's not about being jaw-dropping or exciting, it's about picking your spots and taking advantage. All Tidus has to do is make ONE mistake, and I will capitalize! All he has to do is let the adrenaline take over, go for a high-risk move, and FAIL it! I will take advantage of that opportunity! Then I will win!"

"You all think this is just crazy talk, but let me tell you something: you all thought I couldn't win the Cruiserwegiht Title in the first place! And when I did win it, you all thought I would lose it so quickly! Well I proved you all wrong on both accounts! You all call me a lackey of Mario's, but a lackey is not a successful champion! And I am a successful champion! Which is why Tidus doesn't compare to me. Tidus wants to take the next step in surpassing that father of his? Well I'm afraid he won't be taking that step on my watch, because I won't be losing my Cruiserweight Title to him! It's TIDUS who has no chance in hell of winning this match! And whether you like it or not..."

Toad climbs up the ladder with a slow, yet satisfying pace to him and when he reaches the top, he lifts the mic up to his lips once more.

"...the Cruisweight Title is staying right where it belongs. With me and the Mushroom Kingdom. And if you don't like it, then tough luck, jerks."

Toad then went to unhook his title belt when...

("All I Want" by Day to Remember)

The crowd exploded into loud cheers as Toad just lowered his head and sighed in exasperation.

"Oh boy, Tidus is about to come out to crash this party!" Church stated.

"What is this? Interrupt me during my speech night?" Sarge questioned.

"I just KNEW you would do this, Tidus." Toad sighed. "So just come on out here and let's get this over with. I got a lot of things I want to do."

Toad waited on top of the ladder for the arrival of Tidus, staring at the stage waiting for him to come out. The crowd was wondering where Tidus was but then they began to cheer like crazy...

...for Tidus had jumped over the barricade behind Toad, and silently slid into the ring next to the ladder!

"Oh shit! Tidus has just crashed the path alright, but Toad doesn't know it yet!" Church said.

"Toad, get off the ladder! Now!" Sarge pleaded.

Tidus smirked up at Toad, who remained oblivious to Tidus' presence. "Well, where are you?" Toad questioned. "Normally, the entrance music means you are coming out. You better not be pulling my leg."

He felt the ladder shake, and quickly looked down, only to be shocked to see Tidus. The rookie had placed his hands against the ladder and was in a position to tip it over big time! Toad pleaded like crazy for Tidus not to do it, but Tidus just gave Toad the middle finger before pushing the ladder, causing the ladder to fall over with Toad still on it...

...AND TOAD CRASHES ON THE TOP ROPE! The crowd is going wild as Toad bounces off the ropes in pain before crashing down on the mat!

"And there goes Toad, see ya, bye!" Church said.

"Damn that Tidus! He should have faced Toad like a man!" Sarge exclaimed.

Tidus smirked as he grabbed a mic before pulling the ladder back up straight and looked at Toad on the outside. "Actually, Toad..." Tidus chuckled. "What's actually going to happen is me kicking your ass all over Chicago in 6 days with a ladder, beat you up until you can't stand, and then..."

Tidus began climbing the ladder.

"...climb the ladder like I'm doing now..."

Tidus reached the top rung of the ladder.

"...stand here at the top and admire the view...

Tidus grabbed the Cruiserweight Title and unhooked it to loud cheers.

"...and pull down this piece of gold right here! Thus becoming the NEW! Cruiserweight Champion of the World! And take my first step to greatness! Try to stop it all you want Toad, but if you, prepare to get a Blitz Kick to the skull! At Royal Reckoning... MY TIME COMES!"

Tidus then dropped the mic to the mat and raised the Cruiserweight Title high into the air on top of the ladder, with Toad writhing in agony and pain on the outside.

"Tidus has sent a huge message to Toad: He will not be stopped from winning this title Sunday!" Church said.

"But Toad has made a living nowadays of proving people wrong! I have a feeling that he will do it again Sunday for the Mushroom Kingdom!" Sarge said.

UCA Rewind: Royal Reckoning 1999

Royal Rumble Moments; The Rookie Sponge Pulls It Off

"It was 1999, and wrestling was in the throes of Attitude." Force told. "Started by WWE in 1996, 1997, or 1998, depending on your opinion, the feeling of Attitude had spread to other companies, especially the other Fiction Wrestling companies. New stars were being created in this era of wrestling that would become big stars for the rest of their lives. It definitely was a very great and prosperous time for UCA, but I don't think the definition of creating a new star was any more prevalent in this era then what happened at Royal Reckoning 1999."

"The excitement of the Royal Rumble is so huge! Who is next in the Rumble?" Mickey asked.

RIIIINNNNGGG!

The Spongebob Squarepants Theme played throughout the speakers, the crowd cheering as Spongebob came out onto the stage and yelled "I'M READY!" before running down the ramp.

#25 Spongebob Squarepants

"It's the rookie, Spongebob!" Mickey exclaimed. "A month into his UCA career, Spongebob looks to make a good impression at the Royal Rumble!"

"Yeah...I expect him to get thrown out in 2 minutes." Pete chuckled. "I mean a rookie, and a flat-out child-like attitude...it will be fun to see his elimination."

"Spongebob had made his debut in UCA in the month of December, just before the Royal Rumble with some of his friends as well." Red told. "He connected with people quickly with that child-like yet lovable attitude of his that he had at the time. And surprisingly, he also displayed good wrestling ability that no one thought anyone like him could have. He had made a first good impression in UCA, but no one thought he could win the Rumble, because well...a rookie? Just one month into his debut? With that kind of personality? It just didn't seem possible..."

Spongebob leaned against the ropes, and that allowed James to clothesline him over the top tope! The Team Rocket member laughed at his victory, but Spongebob had landed on the apron! James turned around..and was hit with a Springboard Clothesline from Spongebob! Sephiroth grabbed Spongebob by the throat and went for a chokeslam, but Bob landed behind and grabbed the head, nailing an Inverted DDT! Spongebob tuned around, which allowed for Joey to run at Sponegbob, only for Spongebob to catch him...AND HIT HIM WITH THE BIKINI BOTTOM (Rock Bottom)!

"Wow, Spongebob is just on fire here! He's doing better than any of us expected!" Mickey stated.

"I will admit, I thought he'd be done for by now." Pete grudgingly admitted.

"Spongebob was really impressing a lot of people as he stayed in the Rumble." Force stayed. "No one expected Spongebob to do this well. He displayed a skill and talent that wasn't thought to have existed within a rookie not trained by a veteran beforehand. However, as Spongebob was also making waves, there was also another guy out there doing well for himself, one that saved Spongebob on a few occassions..."

James and Butch were stomping down on Spongebob in the corner with glee in every stomp, and Butch stopped for a moment and turned around...only to get clotheselined by Red! James turned around to meet the same fate! Butch got back up, only to be nailed with a Side-Effect like move from Red! James ran at him but Red hanged him across the ropes with a Flapjack! Butch groggily made it to his feet and that allowed Red to nail the Poke-Flow! Out of it, Red picked up Butch and threw him at James who was leaning against the ropes! Butch crashed into him and both crashed over the top to the ground!

"In the end, it came down to the two of us, me and Spongebob." Red told. "I have to admit, I had a great final battle with him in that Rumble, but no doubt the match will be remember with how it ended..."

Spongebob and Red were trading left and rights as the excitement was at a fever pitch! Red managed to get the better of him and bounced off the ropes...and into a Spinning Spinebuster from Spongebob! The sponge yelled "I'M READY!" before picking up Red, and then lifitng him up for the Spongey Edge (Razor's Edge), but Red got out of his grasps and landed behind...Red hooked Sponge up...AND NAILED THE POKE-FLOW TO LOUD CHEERS!

"THIS IS IT!" Mickey shouted. "RED IS GOING TO FINAL CLASH FINALLY!"

"I ALWAYS KNEW THE KID COULD...HEY WAIT!"

Red was about to pick up Spongebob until he saw Giovanni slide into the ring and tackle down to the ground. The two engaged in a heated brawl as they exchange fists on the ground before standing up where Giovanni nailed a hard boot across the skull! Giovanni stomped on Red a few times before picking up the Pokemon Trainer and went to throw him over the top...but Red low-blowed before he could. Red then hooked him up and nailed the Poke-Flow! Red picked up the Team Rocket Leader and threw him over the top rope!

"Good riddance!" Mickey shouted. "He had no business in this match in the first place!"

"Well he didn't want Red to win! That's business enough for him!" Pete stated.

Red glared at Giovanni for a few moments and turned around...INTO A BIKINI BOTTOM FROM SPONGEBOB! The crowd was in complete shock as Spongebob quickly picked up Red...

...AND THREW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE! THE CROWD WAS IN A FRENZY AS SPONGEBOB WAS JUMPING AROUND IN JOY!

"Here is your winner of the Royal Rumble Match, Spongebob Squarepants!"

"MY GOD, I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" Mickey shouted. "THE ROOKIE HAS PULLED IT OFF! SPONGEBOB HAS WON THE RUMBLE!"

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE I JUST SEEN?!" Pete exclaimed. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! A MERE ROOKIE CAN'T WIN THE RUMBLE!"

"HE JUST DID! THE SAYING IS TRUE! ANYONE CAN WIN THE ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH!" Mickey shouted.

"People talk about Danny Phantom being a rookie and winning the Animated Rumble in 2004, but it was Spongebob who originated the 'rookie winning the Rumble' concept." Force stated. "This was also the beginning of his success in Fiction Wrestling. Like Phantom did as a heel, Spongebob would carry the ball as a top face and win the World Title from Kefka at Final Clash. You look at his success in UWE, CWF, and WWT, and you'll now see that it all began with this one Royal Rumble win. Through this Rumble win...came the birth of the Spongebob Squarepants in Fiction Wrestling.

The final shot is of Spongebob celebrating with his friends from Bikini Bottom before being hoisted into the air by them and shouting "I'M READY FOR FINAL CLASH!"
