HARDCORE CHAMPION-"The Deadman" Ganondorf

WOMEN'S CHAMPION-Princess Zelda

A final promo aired for Armageddon, followed by a video of Fox's attack on Banjo. The usual opening routine of fireworks and pyro signaled the start of the show.

"We are just 48 hours, two days away from our fifth pay per view, Armageddon, and this is out final stop before we head to Armageddon. Tonight, we're broadcasting LIVE in front of a sold out crowd on Wumpa Island! I'm 'Kid Lightning' Plusle alongside my good friend and partner 'Blue Static' Minun."

"Plusle, I'm looking forward to tonight." Said the blue pokemon. "We've got a contact signing, the IC Champ in action, Bowser and Ganon teaming up once more, and a Money in the Bank Last Chance Triple Threat Match!"

"I'll say we got a pumped deck of cards here tonight."

Trino's music hit as he walked to the ring. The ring had two chairs along with a table in the middle, the chairs on opposite sides.

"Ladies and gentleman, please welcome the General Manager of MELEE: Dr. Harold Trino!"

Trino climbed into the mic and took a microphone.

"Welcomes ladies and gentleman to FRIDAY NIGHT MELEE!"

The crowd cheered.

"Now in just 48 short hours, the superstars of the UGWF will go to battle at UGWF ARMAGEDDON. We've got some incredible matches loaded up so far. We have the first ever Money in the Bank match, a Stretcher Match, a Last Ride Match, a 2 on 3 Handicap Match…but we don't even have a main event yet. Which is why I have opened the show here tonight with a contract signing. At Armageddon, Banjo will make his first offical title defense against the Impact Player: Fox McCloud!"

Oddly, the crowd booed.

"So now, I want it in writing. Let me first bring out our World Heavyweight Champion: The Unstoppable Dominator: BANJO!"

The crowd erupted with cheers as Banjo entered the arena, the world title rested around his shoulder. He did his pose as fireworks exploded behind him. Banjo climbed into the ring and shook Trino's hand.

"And now, let me introduce Banjo's Armageddon opponent: The former World Champion: The Impact Player: FOX MCCLOUD!"

Fox entered, usual theatrical entrance. His usual laid back smile was replaced by a stone face of anger and frustrtaion. He entered the ring, staring down at the championship then back at Banjo. Banjo nodded and they both sat down.

"Now, as usual: I am going to ask if either of you would like to say anything before we get this underway, is there anything either one of you would like to say?" asked the General Manager.

Fox, still with his stone face took the mic. "Do you have any idea what it means to be champion, Banjo? Do you have any idea what grief, aggravation, and pain you caused at No Mercy? That title meant everything to me and because of you Banjo, I can't sleep at night without that spear haunting my mind week after week after week. You don't deserve that title. You have done NOTHING to prove yourself. That title belongs to me and this Sunday, it's coming home with me."

Banjo, kept a cool face. "You talk a lot for someone who can't get over something. You're right, I haven't done anything to prove myself yet. So here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to let you Fox decide what kind of match we're gonna have so you don't have any excuses when I whip your ass." The champion signed the contract.

Fox started laughing, which then stopped as he looked Banjo square in the face. "How about we make this real simple and we make it all legal. You and me, one on one: NO HOLDS BARRED!" Fox signed the contract and stood up.

Banjo nodded and held his title up, the Impact Player glaring a hole into his opponent. Fox then jumped up for the Diamond Cutter but Banjo had it well scouted and blocked it. This time, he gave Fox a spinebuster through the table.

"Spinebuster through the table!" said Plusle. "Looks like it's Banjo getting some payback for that cheap metal plate attack last week."

Fox growled and stood up, glaring even deeper at Banjo.

"Without a doubt, these two main event level athletes are going to do everything they can to leave this Sunday with the World Title!" said Plusle. "Up next, Mario and Luigi go head to head with the New Chaotix!"

NON-TITLE MATCH-Mario and Luigi v. Silver and Vector

The NEW Chaotix had certainly made their mark last week with Link. Everyone knew that Silver and the Chaotix had both been on the losing side of the stick for quite some time. Now that they had joined forces, they looked like formidable opponents. Mario and Luigi both had a hard time trying to keep the momentum in their corner but constant interference from Espio and dirty tactics from Silver would eventually come back to bite them.

Luigi had finally managed to get some momentum back as he nailed the Twist of Fate on Vector, sending him out of the ring. Luigi then bounced off the ropes and nailed a Tornado DDT on Silver, while climbing to the top rope, signaling for Down in Flames. However, Espio jumped onto the apron and tried once more to stop Luigi. The referee saw this and stopped Espio, allowing Luigi to hit Down in Flames and then tagging in Mario as he attempted the Fire-Arm. Silver had it scouted and hit a drop toe hold into an Emerald Lock.

"Silver's got it locked in!" said Plusle. "How does he do this?"

But then, Link came running out, jumping into the ring and attacking Silver. The referee rang for the bell as things got worse. Things had now turned into a 3 on 3 attack as Mario nailed the Fire-Arm on Vector, Luigi nailed the Twist of Fate, and Link nailed the Wind Stunner to send the Chaotix out of the ring.

"All hell has broken lose here tonight!" said Minun. "But Link's getting some payback for the Chaotix attacking him!"

The Chaotix regrouped on the rampway as Link and the tag champs celebrated in the ring.

"You know, I've still been wondering who is going to be Link's partner in that 2 on 3 Handicap Match." Said Minun. "He isn't leaving us any clues here tonight."

"Link wouldn't let us all know who it is." Said Plusle. "If Link wants to stand a chance against the NEW Chaotix, then Link had better have the element of surprise in his corner. Up next, the Prince of Xtreme faces off with the Rated R Superstar in a tune up match for Armageddon!"

SINGLE'S MATCH-"The Prince of Xtreme" Kayden Seyak v. "The Rated R Superstar" Crash

The fans were given an exciting show when Kayden and Crash met in the ring. Both of them had received big pushes from their recent matches and this would be like two head on bulls slamming into one another, which is what the fans got to see. Crash took every advantage he could, from holding the ropes to cheap shots Crash was willing to risk it. Kayden has tried to go for his new finisher, the XKO, but Crash had it sighted and this time reversed it into a DDT.

Crash jumped to the top rope and proceeded to nail the Crazy Swanton but Kayden brought his knees up to block it. Kayden took advantage on Crash's hurt back by taking the fight to the outside. But then, it was Kayden's time to take the pain as Crash whipped Kayden shoulder first into the steel steps. Kayden clutched his shoulder as Crash put him back into the ring for a two count cover.

"Theses two magnificent athletes are putting their bodies on the line here tonight!" said Plusle.

However, the crowd didn't love their hometown hero. They resented what he had become and from what they knew, Crash had turned on all of them. The match came to it's climax after Kayden hoisted Crash up for the XKO only for Crash to squirm out and hold onto Kayden in a waistlock. Crash ran with Kayden into the ropes and folded him over, holding onto the ropes with his legs for the 3 count.

"Here is your winner, the Rated R Superstar, Crash Bandicoot!"

"You've got to be kidding me!" yelled Plusle. "Crash cheated!"

"I'll admit, it took me by surprise, but when it gets down to the nitty gritty, you got to go with what you have. And Crash did that, albeit by cheating."

BACKSTAGE-DR. TRINO'S OFFICE

Klonoa, with the Intercontinental Championship belt on his shoulder, was seen talking to Trino in his office.

"So what do you think?" said Klonoa.

"Well from what you're telling me…you don't want to defend your title at Armageddon?"

The cabbit nodded. "Right. And I want to be in tonight's Last Chance Triple Threat Match for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at Armageddon."

Trino looked through his papers on his desk. "Allright. You also requested you would like Fox in that match, tonight?"

"Yes. I want to teach him a lesson for what he did to Banjo last week."

"Allright. You got it. On one condition. Next week, you defend the Intercontinental Championship against Fox."

Klonoa stood up and shook Trino's hand. "It will be an honor."

RINGSIDE

"Looks like that's going to be our main event for tonight!" said Plusle. "And Fox will take on Klonoa next week with the Intercontinental Title on the line."

"What I want to know is if Fox wins tonight, he's going to be pulling double duty at Armageddon!" said Minun.

"I doubt that's going to happen, partner."

SINGLE'S MATCH-Leyla Fray v. Rouge the Bat

After some tough talking, Leyla finally got her match against Rouge the Bat. While their last encounter had resulted in Rouge interuppting Leyla's match with Zelda, Leyla wanted to settle a score tonight. Knowing she had a lot to proove that night, Leyla pulled off an incredible arsenal of moves to combat with Rouge's power game. Rouge had tried to end things early by rolling Leyla up but the ThunderVixen wouldn't go down easily. Rouge hit her Snap DDT on Leyla and while she proceded to go up to the top, Leyla had arisen and brought both of her knees up, making Rouge land on both of them. As Rouge stumbled to get to her feet, Leyla very quickly nailed the ThunderChick Kick and hit High Hopes for the 3 count.

"Here is your winner, Leyla Fray!"

"Leyla gets some payback after Rouge attacked Leyla two weeks ago." said Minun. "Rouge and Zelda were probobly in cohoots and they were going to soften up Leyla for her match at Armageddon."

"We all have our opinions partner." said Plusle.

BACKSTAGE

"Cream here, standing by with the Television Champion: Bowser and tonight, you team up with your old tag team partner, Ganondorf, to take on both Tails and Knuckles, opponnents you both will be facing at Armageddon in matches for your title."

"Let's get past the obvious." said Bowser. "Ganon and I still have an unfinished score to settle. What I wish to know is if I can trust Ganon to have my back tonight. You want to know the truth, I'm glad the Duo of Darkness is back togethor cuz we're both going to lay down the destruction that we been leaving from the very beginning and at Armageddon, both of us will be leaving with our titles."

RINGSIDE

"Oh man, the Duo of Darkness is back for one night only!" said Minun.

"We'll have to wait and see if either one of these guys can trust one another. Up next, Money in the Bank combatants face off!"

SINGLE'S MATCH-"The Franchise" Sonic the Hedgehog v. "The Lone Falconite" Bastion Htarnok

Sonic, concerned for his team mates Tails and Knuckles, had a hard time focusing on the match. Bastion took charge by working on Sonic's shoulders, missing attempts at the Falconite Spear. Bastion kept dodging the Sonic Driver and it wasn't until Bastion nailed a hard belly to belly uplex did Bastion wait in the other corner, ready for the spear. As Sonic rose, Bastion charged. However, he wasn't prepared for what happened next. Sonic hti a drop toe hold in and locked in the Lightning Lock. Bastion struggled to get to the ropes but alas, he was forced to tap out.

"Here is your winner, by submission, The Franchise: Sonic the Hedgehog!"

"Sonic pulled that move out of nowhere!" said Plusle. "And the crowd loves it!"

"I sure as hell didn't see it coming, but I'm impressed none the less. Kudos to Sonic." said Minun.

BACKSTAGE

"Cream here, standing by with the leader of the NEW Chaotix, Silver the Hedgehog. Silver, everyone wants to know, why Link? Why would you choose to attack him?"

"Well I don't know if you realize this...but let's take a little trip down memory lane. The first ever episode of MELEE. The main event: Link, Sheik, and Fox versus Espio, Vector, and Falco. Link...what you did to the Chaotix: YOU EMBARRASED THEM! Time and time again, you defeated them. For monthes, the Chaotix and I have been shown as nothing but losers. So we banded togethor and took charge! You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us and at Armageddon, we'll show you exactly what happens when you mess with the NEW Chaotix! Whoever you choose as your partner, it doesn't matter. We WILL walk out winners and you Link will be bloody, battered, beaten, and humiliated!"

RINGSIDE

"To sum that up, that's confidence for ya." said Minun. "Armageddon is going to be one hell of a pay per view."

"You're telling me. Like I said, Link is going to have to have the element of surprise in his corner if he wants to stand a chance against the NEW Chaotix."

"Princess Zelda defends her title against the up and coming ThunderVixen: Leyla Fray. Zelda had better kick things into high gear to combat with Leyla's impressive arsenal. Expect this one to be amazing." said Plusle. "Mario and Luigi have their hands full with not just with DK and Diddy but with the Techno Twisters AND Gaming's Most Wanted in a Fatal Four Way Texas Tornado Match for the Tag Team Championships. I can't wait to see how it will turn out."

"What about Ganon and Bowser's matches?" said Minun. "Bowser defends his title against the Innovator of Violence in a return match. Not just any match, but a stretcher match! I doubt there is any stretcher big enough to hold Bowser and if there is, I'll have to see it to believe it. Ganon's got a tough one too. For the first time ever, a Last Ride match between Ganon and the former Hardcore Champion: The Rabid Echidna: Knuckles. Knuckles lost the last time these two meet and with the stacks stacked against him, can Knuckles prevail and win his title back?"

"If we're talking about firsts, we'll have the very first Money in the Bank Ladder match, the winner gets a guarenteed title shot at any time, any place, over the next 12 monthes." said Plusle. "We have Kayden, Bastion, Crash, Shadow, and Sonic confirmed so far and tonight our main event will tell us who will be the 6th and final entrant into the match."

"Yeah, but everybody's buying the PPV for one reason and that's Banjo versus Fox 2! No Holds Barred rules, World Title on the line, it will be Banjo's first title defense! Fox has gotten the physcological edge going into Armageddon! Failure to both of these guys will be devastating and there can only be one world champion!" said Minun.

"Allright, ladies and gentleman up next, the Duo of Darkness reunite for one night only to take on their Armageddon opponents, Tails and Knuckles!"

A video showed with highlights between Bowser and Ganon and their opponnents.

TAG TEAM MATCH-"The Lord of Darkness" Ganondorf and Bowser v. "The Innovator of Violence" Tails and "The Rabid Echidna"

Ganon and Bowser's old music played and they came out holding their titles on their shoulders.

"The following contest is a tag team match, scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, the team of the Television Champion: Bowser and the Hardcore Champion: The Deadman: Ganondorf!

Knuckle's music played.

"And their opponent, from Angel Island, he is the Rabid Echidna: Knuckles!"

Knuckles stopped at the bottom of the ramp and waited as Tail's music played.

"And the tag team partner, residing in Casinopolis, the Innovator of Violence: Tails!"

Knuckles and Tails climbed into the ring and the bell rang. Ganon and Tails decided to start things. Tails used his quickness to dodge some of Ganon's hard hitting punches while firing some hard kicks to Ganon's hamstrings. The strategy was working for some time as Knuckles tagged himself him, hitting hard stinnging chest chops on Ganon. Ganon then grabbed Knuckles and shoved him into the corner, reversing the punches and pounding down on Knuckles. Knuckles soon laid back on the bottom turnbuckle as Ganon tagged in Bowser. Knuckles slowly arose to his feet and Bowser charged, slamming his full body weight into Knuckles.

"Knuckles doesn't look too in the beginning of this match!" said Plusle. "He needs to make a tag, now would be a good time!"

Knuckles groaned in pain as Bowser went for the cover. Kickout. At one point, both Knuckles and Tails had knocked Bowser and Ganon out of the ring. While the two recuperated on the outside, Knuckles and Tails gathered into opposite corners, waiting for their chance. When it happened, Tails and Knuckles dove off the top rope and onto Bowser and Ganon. Tails put Bowser back into the ring and stood on the second rope, holding Bowser. tails went for a Tornado DDT but Bowser used the momentum and chucked Tails off of him, Tails crashing and burning on the mat.

"Look at how far Tails went! It looked he was thrown out of a cannon!"

Bowser went to cover Tails but Knuckles broke it up. Bowser knocked Knuckles away and right into Ganon's hands where Ganon went for a chokeslam. On the way up, Knuckles quickly reversed it into the Guardian's Grip. Bowser however jumped on top of Knuckles, making him break off the move. Knuckles began getting fired up as he grabbed Ganon and started giving him german suplexes. After the 4th suplex, Tails quickly climbed to the top rope. Bowser blocked and tossed Tails off. Knuckles then proceded to run and dive through the ropes to take out Bowser but he missed and Bowser turned it into the King Slam.

"A King Slam!" said Minun. "Right here at ringside!"

Tails clutched his back and Bowser rolled into the back of the ring. Bowser and Ganon both grabbed the two tailed fox and nailed a Double Chokeslam on Tails. Bowser then climbed to the top rope and leaped off, Banzai dropping onto Tails for the 3 count.

"Here are your winners, Ganondorf and Bowser!"

"I don't believe it!' said Plusle. "They really could trust eachother out there!"

"I knew it. Simple isolation and the Duo of Darkness prevailed. This could be what will happen to Tails and Knuckles this Sunday at Armageddon."

EMT's came to the ring and helped Tails out along with Knuckles as the both of them were cheered.

BACKSTAGE-DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK

Bowser and Ganon were seen walking backstage.

"It's good to know I can at least trust you." said Bowser.

Ganon nodded, his stone face remained the same.

"Look, we had our ups and downs and we had one hell of match togethor. Even though I beat you, which I am proud to say, you and me are unstoppable."

"Unstoppable...until we lost our championships. My understanding was YOUR plan backfired and we lost. Trust is irrelevant."

"Quit talking like you're some spooky ghost." said Bowser. "You didn't have to go and chokeslam me in our tag team title rematch. But look:" he pointed to the belts. "We got gold. Me, the television champion. You, the hardcore champion. We earned gold either way. Come on, we're a better team then anyone else. We can be Tag Team Champions again."

"I'm afraid I'm going to decline your offer, Bowser." said Ganon, facing his partner. "I work alone now. Any other time we would get the titles back, YOU would have lost the titles again."

Bowser's temper slowly started to grow. "Ok, now you know that's not true! I'm the most dominate force in the UGWF! I am the Television Champion! I am UNBEATABLE. And what about you? You're NOT. You won't be holding onto that championship for long and then you'll lose at Armageddon and end up leaving a LOSER. Hell, I can beat you anyday of the week, twice on Sunday!"

Ganon looked at his championship then back at Bowser. "Is that right?"

Bowser smirked. "I beat you. The ring exploded. I prooved I'm the better one. What does it do to beat you? Nothing."

"You seem quite confident you'll beat me. Then how about a rematch? Next week on MELEE."

"Name your match." said Bowser. "I'll crush you in anything."

"You and me, both titles on the line. STEEL CAGE MATCH."

"I'm going to enjoy crushing the life out of you again. You got it."

Bowser turned around and left, leaving Ganon there with his championship.

RINGSIDE

"Oh boy, so much for soaking in the glory." said Plusle. "These two want at eachother's throats again! This time inside of a Steel Cage! How awesome is that?"

"Pretty awesome. But we got a bigger match. Ladies and gentleman, it is now time for the main event! The Last Chance Triple Threat Match, winner to be the final combatant entered into the Money in the Bank Ladder match at Armageddon this Sunday. Now Klonoa, our Intercontinental Champion is in this match. Fox, declared to be in the main event at Armageddon, is also included. even I'm confused as to why our GM allowed this, but the fact still remains, this is what will happen."

LAST CHANCE MONEY IN THE BANK TRIPLE THREAT QUALIFICATION MATCH-"The Showstopper" Klonoa v. Conker the Squirrel v. "The Impact Player" Fox McCloud

"This final contest of the evening is the Last Chance Money in the Bank Triple Threat match where the winner will be entered into the Money in the Bank match this Sunday, scheduled for one fall."

Conker's music played, mixed cheers and boos.

"Introducing first, from the Other Side of the Woods, Conker the Squirrel!"

Fox's music then played, coming out with a darker look on his face. The fans booed.

"And his opponent, from the Lylat System in Corneria, a former UGWF World Champion, the Impact Player: Fox McCloud!"

Klonoa's music played, the crowd cheering wildly.

"And the final participant, from Lunatea, he is the UGWF Intercontinental Champion: The Showstopper: KLONOA!"

All three combatants got into the ring. Fox and Conker looked at one another and they both charged to Klonoa, double teaming him. Klonoa fought back against them, throwing Conker into the other corner and giving him hard chops to the chest. Fox stood back then grabbed Conker and threw him into the corner, rolling and throwing Conker in the air with a monkey flip. Klonoa attempted to go for Sweet Chin Music but Fox caught him. Fox tried going for the Diamond Cutter, Klonoa grabbed him and chucked him over the top rope. As Klonoa stood near the ropes, Conker bounced off them and catapulted himself over Klonoa onto Fox.

"Look at Conker go!" said Plusle.

The fans cheered, appreciating the incredible show they were getting. The double team on Klonoa continued but the Showstopper fought back with everything he had. During the match, Klonoa waited on the top rope, watching Fox. Fox had caught Conker in a double leg takedown, Fox's back was turned to Klonoa. Without knowing, Fox bent his body back and tossed Conker at Klonoa. On instinct, Conker used the momentum to do a hurricanrana, tossing Klonoa off the top rope. Conker then crawled up to the top rope and leaped off for the Squirel Wrath Press. However, he had failed to see Fox below him as Fox leaped up in mid air and ran, using the momentum to deliver the Diamond Cutter. Fox posed for the fans but as he turned around, Klonoa nailed Sweet Chin Music.

"Fox just walked right into that!" said Minun. "Ballgame!"

Klonoa then springboared himself off the ropes and nailled the Cabbitsault for the 3 count.

"Here is your winner, the Intercontinental Champion: The Showstopper: KLONOA!"

"Klonoa's the final guy!" said Plusle. "He's going to compete in the Money in the Bank Ladder-HEY!"

Fox had arisen and taken a steel chair with him, blasting Klonoa over the face with it. Klonoa slumped to the floor, busted open. Fox grabbed the chair and slammed it multiple times against Klonoa's injured back, then set the chair up in the middle of the ring. Fans booed heavily as Fox grabbed Klonoa, whom could barely stand. Fox pointed to the chair but suddenly, the crowd erupted in cheers. Banjo rushed into the ring and hit a hard spear on Fox.

"BANJO! HE'S HERE!" yelled Plusle.

Banjo helped Conker and Klonoa up but Fox wasn't finished. Fox nailed the Diamond Cutter on Conker and threw him out of the ring leaving Banjo, Fox, and Klonoa all in the same ring. All three of them started brawling and security and the referees quickly came out. They dragged a bitter Fox out of the ring. Banjo had looked to calm down but broke past the referees and dove over the top rope, falling onto Fox as the two brawled on the rampway. Things had gotten out of hand but the security finally got things under control.

"We have just seen a glimpse of what's to come at Armageddon when these two world class athletes compete for the World Championship: No Holds Barred."

"Thanks for joining us here everyone, we'll see you next week with the Armageddon results!"
