The camera goes over to the Oreburgh Mines in Oreburgh City, which seem empty for the moment and nothing stirred as mining equipment was all over the place...

...and as usual, the sound of the galloping that had become familiar to the audience was heard by them...and Matt rode into view on Garurumon and not two seconds after they arrived, Matt jumped off of Garurumon and began running all around the mines to try and find Mario and Platinum!

"MARIO! WHERE ARE YOU FAT BASTARD?! COME OUT AND FACE ME LIKE A MAN! PLATINUM! IF YOU HURT, I SWEAR TO GOD...! F*CK!"

These were some of the things Matt cursed out in his anger-induced search, but for the next few moments, he turned over all sorts of mining equipment, looked behind and under every boulder and rock, even went inside the mines themselves to try and find Mario's hiding spot out here...

...BUT NO MARIO, KINGDOM, OR PLATINUM...just like the times before. And that fact PISSED OFF Matt even MORE as he walked out of the inner mines with a giant scowl...and grabbed a nearby pick axe and threw it down in frustration!

"DAMMIT! They're NOT here! OF COURSE they aren't! Why would they be?! It's Mario playing f*ckin' games with me!" Matt scowled, coming up to Garurumon. "And I'm quite frankly SICK of it! I'm sick of going through these hoops, and finding nothing he-"

"Thanks Matt!"

A DARK look appeared on Matt's face, while a deadpanned one appeared on Garurumon's face...as they turned around...as they saw the now-annoying presence of yet ANOTHER common Toad, holding a video tablet in his hands and a sickly sweet smile on his face!

Thank you so much for coming and saving us! But the princess is ano-"

"I KNOW ALREADY! SHUT UP AND GET AWAY FROM ME!" Matt shouted in complete anger, fed up with this crap, snatching the tablet out of the Toad's hand...who was shocked...and just left feeling down.

"...Well that was blunt, Matt." Garurumon noted.

"I don't care...I'm FED UP with all of this..." Matt stated as he played the tablet, wanting to know what Mario's up to NOW...

"Well-a hello there, Matt!" Mario greeted as he popped up in the video, he and the Kingdom shown to be traveling a road. "If you're seeing this, and you most likely are, then you arrived at the Mines! Congratulations, I knew you could make it there, you always had a good sense of direction! HOWEVER...you still didn't make it on time, and we had to leave. Oh, aren't you just a bad boyfriend, Matt? To be late so many times...tsk, tsk, so terrible Matty Baby...but not to worry, Matt! For you see, Monday Night Flame appears to be in the middle of its final hour, and we need to get back for the end of the show! So tour's over...and the lovely Platinum is showing us the way back..."

Mario at that point and time pulled the gagged and tied up Platinum onto the screen, who was screaming and flailing as she tried to escape.

"She's been such a big help, really..." Mario chuckled. "We wouldn't have gotten around Sinnoh so quickly without her...she's such an amazing guide...how are you with her again? Hahaha...but my my...she's done so much for us, yet we haven't done anything for her. Well we should fix that...she looks a bit chilly, doesn't she look a bit chilly, yes she looks chilly. We need to make sure your warm somehow, and I've got just the thing! Luigi! Yoshi!"

At the sound of the words, Luigi and Yoshi came onto the screen...

...pushing a CASKET into focus and Platinum's eyes widened at the sight of it, and Mario smirked.

"This is the best thing for you Platinum...we're going to put you into this casket, and it's going to protect you from the cold, and you'll be warm and fuzzy. "And you'll stay warm in there THE WHOLE WAY BACK. That sound great?" Platinum screamed and flailed, not wanting to be stuck in a casket. "GOOD! Glad you agree! Now...let's make sure you get inside nice and quick..."

Mario picked up the gagged Platinum who tried to escape, and Toad opened up the casket as Mario placed her inside the casket...and with a devious smirk...CLOSED the casket on Platinum and chuckled, leaving her to flail and hit the inside of the casket with her bindings to no avail.

"There...we've done something for her. Now my conscience is clear...she'll thank us later, I am sure of it." Mario chuckled as he tapped the casket. "You know...now that this was done, this feels like a very powerful symbol really...yes...a symbol...

Mario then turned to the screen, with a MALICIOUS grin...

"...A symbol of the DEATH of your Resurrection, Ishida! Because Platinum...she represents the new life you've created for yourself, and the aspirations you hold for your future...and this casket...it represents where that's ALL GOING when I'm done with you at Final Clash...IN THE GRAVE! Platinum, resurrection...casket, the grave...and Platinum's in the casket...isn't that powerful symbolism? Hehehehe...it's been fun leading you all over Sinnoh, Ishida, it really has, messing with your head and your girl. Has a very nice satisfaction to it...but we must get back to the arena. I have something to say to everyone after all...and I know you'll be there listening to every single bit... See you there, Matty Baby. Hahahaha!"

And with that said, Mario and the Kingdom began pushing the casket off-screen and presumably towards the arena...

...

...and it was there that Matt SNAPPED the tablet in half over his knee and THREW the remains down to the ground. With a heavy scowl of anger on his face he walked towards Garurumon...

"Come on, Garurumon...we're heading back to the arena." Matt said as he proceeded to get on him.

"...He knows you'll come for him, as you've been trying to do. He's leading you into a trap..." Garurumon noted.

"I know...but I got an idea. Let's go...we're coming, Platinum." Matt said as he rode off on Garurumon away from the mines, and towards the arena.


"...Mario's damn games continue...and now he's shedding light on what he really wants with Platinum... He wants to use her to create a symbol of Matt's Resurrection dying in order to get in his head... He is ONE SICK FUCK if you ask me." Church said.

"Don't you DARE stain the great name of Mario! He's obviously doing this for some other reason! You can't possibly hope to understand how his mind works! So go back to your hole, let the real geniuses work here!" Sarge stated.

"Of course, justify everything Mario does no matter how horrible it is, that's just great, huh?" Church asked.

"YES IT IS, DIRTBAG!" Sarge shouted.

"...For God's sake... Mario's going to be arriving at the arena eventually, and Matt won't be too far behind... No telling what will happen when it does. But the show must goe on and we got a match here..." Church said.

("Firewater" by Sinister Growley)

The crowd booed loudly as Jason Krueger came out to the beat of his song, erratic twitching and a snarl on his face, IC Title in his hand. He looked down at his title, and shook his head, muttering "No...not ever..." before stalking down the ramp with bad intentions on his mind. Once he reached the ring, he entered it without much theatrics and circled it. As he did so, he held his title close to his chest as if it were something precious, muttering "This is mine...it will ALWAYS be mine..."

"The following contest is scheduled for one-fall. Introducing first, from South Island, weighing in at 234 lbs., he is the UCA Intercontinental Champion, Jason Krueger!"

"...Jason got the worst news of his UCA career so far...when he was told last week he would have to defend his UCA Intercontinental Title against THREE hedgehogs in a Fatal 4-Way Match at Final Clash. And considering the paranoid mess he was BEFORE, this made him even WORSE..." Church said.

"How DARE Force! This is Jason Krueger! The Messiah of the Neckbreaker! The man who will break your neck by looking at you! ...He deserves the HIGHEST praise! PRAISE TO THE MESSIAH! YOU DO NOT DESERVE THIS! TRULY YOU DO NOT!" Sarge stated as he bowed to Jason.

"...Riiiighhhtt...sorry to anybody who's like "WTF?"... Anyways, two of Jason's challengers earlier faced each other, and Chaos defeated Hope earlier in the night. And Jason looks to do the same with the final hedgehog of this match..." Force said.

("Voices" by Rev Theory)

The crowd exploded into loud cheers as Shadow came out with his stoic, serious expression on his face. He stood onstage staring down Jason in the ring before slowly making his way down the ramp in a methodical manner. He reached the ring and walked up the steps, entering the ring. He walked across the ring, eyeing Jason as he did before climbing up a corner and staring out into the crowd.

"And his opponent, from Space Colony ARK, weighing in at 231 lbs., "The Ultimate Life Form" Shadow the Hedgehog!"

"Shadow looking to gain some serious momentum here tonight, but this isn't the first time he's faced Jason. These two fought a couple of weeks earlier, and some say Shadow was about to beat Jason when Chaos decided to stick his nose into things..." Church said.

"LIES! LIES, I TELL YOU! How could someone like Shadow defeat a Messiah like Jason! THEY CAN'T! That's what makes him such a great Red! BREAK HIS NECK, JASON! GIVE IT TO ME AS A SOUVENIR!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Well we're going to find out if that's the truth or not, because I'm sure this time around, we're getting a clear winner. And you know what, I like the sound of that, though I'm sure some companies find that silly." Church said.

Jason handed his title (reluctantly) to the ref, and the bell was rang. Shadow and Jason charged at each other, and Shadow ducked a right from Jason, who turned around and started getting Forearms to the face repeatedly. Shadow slowly backed Jason up, until Jason kicked him in the gut, then nailed a vicious knee right to the face! Shadow was dazed, and Jason grabbed him and whipped him into a corner, then ran at him, but Shadow caught him with a foot to the jaw. Jason backed up, and Shadow ran at him, but Jason ducked the clothesline, and caught the arm, and spun Shadow around...Shadow spun out of the Arm-Trap Swinging Neckbreaker and pushed Jason into the ropes, and Jason bounced back right into a Back Body Drop. Jason arched his back in pain, and Shadow bounced off the ropes and nailed a Jumping Knee Drop across the head! Shadow with the cover! 1...2...Jason kicks out!

"Shadow with the first cover of the match, and he's got control! Shadow knew that Neckbreaker was coming... Not hard to see though when a guy's known for them though." Force said.

"They always get the first shots on everything, but guess what? They always FAIL AT THE FINISH LINE! This won't last long, I know it won't! ...It's better for everyone that way." Sarge said.

Shadow picked up Jason and nailed a European Uppercut before whipping Jason into the ropes, and looking for a Back Body Drop. But Jason stopped after the rebound and kicked Shadow in the chest, sending him upright. Jason went for a Clothesline, but Shadow ducked it, and Jason rebounced into a Snap Powerslam! Shadow with the cover! 1...2...Jason kicks out! Shadow picks up Jason and drags him to a corner, lifting him up to it, he tries to go up there with him, but Jason suddenly began nailing vicious rights to the skull of Shadow! The hedgehog backed away, taken back by the fists in his face, and that's when Jason dived off and nailed a Diving Double Ax Handle on Shadow! Shadow managed to get back up, but was immediately brought back down with a Swinging Neckbreaker! Jason covers! 1...2...Shadow kicks out!

"And there's Jason with one of his patented Neckbreakers! Jason is the best with Neckbreakers, and the more he hits you with them, the bigger your chances are of losing!" Church said.

"He may as well know every Neckbreaker there is out there, and a guy that knows THAT many Neckbreakers, will be breaking your neck! And we WILL see a broken neck tonight! AWESOME!" Sarge cheered.

Jason stood up and stomped on Shadow's face before picking him up and throwing him into the corner, and began nailing Shoulder Rams into his gut repeatedly before pulling him in for a Clothesline! Jason with another cover! 1...2...Shadow kicks out! Jason wastes no time with a Headlock, and wrenches on the head, causing Shadow to grit his teeth. Eventually Shadow slowly stood up with Jason in tow, and begin to elbow his gut repeatedly...but Jason suddenly went for a Back Suplex! Shadow backflipped out of it and landed behind Jason, who turned around...

...into a kick to the gut AND WENT FOR THE CHAOS NIGHTMARE EARLY...!

...but Jason spun out of it, put an arm between the legs, grabbed the head, lifted him...

...

...AND DROPPED HIM WITH A PUMPHANDLE NECKBREAKER!

"Shadow tried to end things early, but he just got a Neckbreaker of the Pumphandle variety across the knee instead! That's a new Neckbreaker from Jason!" Church said.

"Jason's always looking for new ways to maim his opponent...and let me tell you...that's pretty damn awesome...like the awesomest of awesome...without all the sucky bits...with a little dosage of cool." Sarge rambled.

Jason hooks the leg!

Shadow kicks out!

Jason grabbed Shadow's quills and dragged him over to the rope, placing him against it throat-first, and pushed Shadow against it with his feet, choking him out! Shadow flailed as the ref admonished Jason and began to count! 1...2...3...4...Jason backed off, but the damage was done as Shadow coughed. Jason grinned as he pulled Shadow up, and begin kneeing the hedgehog in the face repeatedly, as if trying to break his nose, before dropping him with a Neckbreaker Slam after the sixth knee! Jason with the cover! 1...2...Shadow kicks out! Jason quickly mounts Shadow and begins to beat on him with rights to the skull, shouting "YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY TITLE! YOU HEDGEHOGS WON'T! I'VE COME TOO FAR, BASTARDS!"

"Jesus...that is some Grade A viciousness right there...he is REALLY that paranoid about his titles..." Church stated.

"HEY! A man LOVES his gold, and who wouldn't want to keep gold?! GOLD IS PRECIOUS! GOLD IS LIFE!" Sarge exclaimed.

After raining down so many blows, Jason picked up Shadow, and grabbed him, and tried for the Brink of Insanity...

...

...but Shadow remained rooted to the ground! Jason growled and tried a few more times, but Shadow would not budge! Livid, Jason tried once more...

...

...but Shadow landed behind Jason, grabbed him and lifted him...

...

...AND PLANTED HIM WITH A SIT-OUT WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER!

"D'OH! OH COME ON! Jason did NOT deserve that! He was just doing his JOOOOBBB! RESPECT THE RED'S JOB!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, Shadow's also doing his job as well, and that involves planting Jason on his FACE!" Church retorted.

Shadow turned Jason over and covers him!

...

Jason kicks out!

"And Jason kicks out in the nick of time! But Shadow's back in the game now!" Church stated.

"Oh I HATE when the Ultimate Life Form is back in the game! When is it EEEVVEEERRR good?!" Sarge exclaimed.

Shadow slowly got to his feet, and stalked Jason with a frown as the IC Champ slowly got up. Once Jason was onto him, Shadow ran and leaped at him...

...

...Jason AVOIDED the Chaos Blast! Shadow landed on his feet, and turned around into a LIFT ONTO THE SHOULDERS...

...but Shadow landed behind Jason, avoiding the Absolute Destruction, and pushed Jason into the ropes! Jason rebounded...

...

...

...AND RIGHT INTO A DOUBLE A SPINEBUSTER!

"And there's a PICTURE PERFECT Double A Spinebuster for Jason's troubles! Jason won't be having Absolute Destruction any time soon!" Church said.

"No, no, Jason, kick out! A Spinebuster can't do you in! NO!" Sarge cried out!

Shadow hooks the leg!

...

Jason kicks out!

"Oh! Thank God! Don't give me a damn heart attack! I don't have enough money to replace it if I get one!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Yeah, well don't breathe a sigh of relief yet, because this match isn't over yet! And Shadow's looking for something big!" Church said.

Indeed, Shadow had already gotten up and went over to a nearby corner and began to climb it as he sized up Jason. He reached up to the top...

...

...when Jason shot up and caught Shadow with a right, stunning him! He nailed a few more rights, then climbed up to the top, grabbing Shadow and placing his arm over his head! He went to lift him...

...

...but Shadow held onto the turnbuckle, avoiding the Superplex! Jason tried a few more times, but Shadow would not budge, who then began to nail rights to the gut of Jason, slowly forcing him to let go! Once Jason let go, Shadow nailed a headbutt...

...and Jason fell down to the mat below with a splat! Shadow then stood on top, steadied himself...

...

...AND 450 SPLASH!

...

...AVOIDED! Jason rolled out of the way, and Shadow LANDED on his feet!

...

...

...AND JASON QUICKLY TAKES THE CHANCE TO PLANT HIM WITH THE MENTAL BREAKDOWN!

"MENTAL BREAKDOWN! Out of freakin' NOWHERE! Shadow tried to fly for once, but all he got was a breakdown he could've done without!" Church stated.

"And guess what?! Thanks to that breakdown, Shadow..." Sarge began.

Jason covered Shadow quickly!

...

...

Shadow kicks out!

"You Just Got...NOT SARGE'D?! OH COME ON! I love Mental Breakdowns of Blue! They offer such educational analysis for everyone that's not a dirtbag!" Sarge stated.

"Yeah, well too bad Sarge, but Shadow decides to say "F-U" to a breakdown...and Jason...well he's NOT happy a-you know what, I'll say it, the dude's breaking down himself!" Church stated.

As Church said, Jason was twitched in pure ANGER at that not working, clenching his fist as he growled. Muttering "you won't win...you won't come CLOSE to it...you don't UNDERSTAND...NEVER..." Jason then went over to an adjacent corner as Shadow writhed...crouched...and stalked Shadow...

"...UH-OH...I think he wants to call upon a certain finisher from some of his other companies... Something that makes him a MACHINE..." Church noted.

"GORE HIS ASS! GORE IT TO HELL! AND SEND ME THE PICTURES! I WANT TO PUT IT ON THE WALL OF RED BASE!" Sarge cheered.

Shadow slowly got up to his feet, and groaned...turned around...

...

...

...Jason RAN at Shadow full-speed...

...

...

...

...SHADOW LEAPFROGGED OVER THE GORE! Jason STOPPED himself JUST in the nick of time from hitting the turnbuckle!

"GORE AVOIDED! GORE AVOIDED! But Jason stops himself in time! But he's NOT out of the woods yet!" Church shouted...

...For indeed, as Jason turned around, he got a KICK TO THE GUT! Shadow bent him over, HOOKED THE ARMS...

...

...

...Jason spun out of it again, and PULLED HIM DOWN FOR THE TOTAL CORRUPTION!

...

...

...but Shadow fought against it and quickly rolled through the Arm-Trap Crossface and onto his feet! Jason quickly got to a knee to deal with Shadow...

...

...

...

...AND TOOK A CHAOS BLAST TO THE FACE AS A RESULT!

"CHAOS BLAST! Shadow unleashed the Chaos Blast, and Jason's gone for a freakin' loop! Jason's down!" Church exclaimed.

"OH NOOOOO! NOOO! Jason, I'm so sorry to say...but..." Sarge began.

Shadow dropped for the cover!

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

Jason kicks out!

"You Just Got...NOT Sarge'd! Hah, I knew he would do that! Because Reds are the KINGS of kicking out! What do Blues kick out of, their own inferiority?!" Sarge questioned.

"You know...one day, someone's gonna check your mind. Why? Because they'll gain a goddamn fortune figuring out how you come up with this shit." Church said.

Shadow frowned in silent frustration before he picked up Jason to his feet, and grabbed him. He tried for the Chaos Control (Lifting DDT into a Neckbreaker)...

...

...

...but Jason remained rooted to the ground. Shadow tried again, but Jason would not leave his feet. Shadow growled and was going to try again, but Jason suddenly pushed Shadow away! Shadow quickly ran at Jason, but the Champ sidestepped Shadow...

...

...

...and Shadow rebounded into a BRUTAL boot to the skull! Shadow was dazed as Jason grabbed Shadow and set him up...

...

...

...

...AND NAILED THE BRINK OF INSANITY!

"And Shadow gets taken to the BRINK OF INSANITY! And the brink may be too much for his sanity to bear!" Church said.

"And this is where I proudly say...Shadow..." Sarge began.

Jason wastes no time hooking the leg!

SHADOW KICKS OUT AT 2.85!

"You Just Got...DAMMIT! You damn hedgehogs don't know when to quit! If you did, we'd all be living happier lives!" Sarge stated.

"I think Jason feels that would be the case, because he is MAD... That guy just wants Shadow to die here and now!" Church stated.

Indeed, Jason was snarling in pure frustration and anger, wondering what it would take to put down the Ultimate Life Form. Jason yanked Shadow up to his feet and shouted in his face, "YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME! YOU'RE NO ULTIMATE LIFE FORM, YOU'RE JUST A HEDGEHOG WHO'S WAITING FOR HIS NECK TO BE BROKEN! THE TITLE IS MINE! MINE! AND NO HEDGEHOG WILL EVER TAKE IT FROM ME! THIS IS THE PRICE FOR TRYING!" Jason then SLAPPED Shadow across the face before lifting Shadow in a Fireman's Carry...

...

...

...and with a snarl RAN TOWARDS THE CORNER...

"OH CRAP CRAP CRAP! He's going for Absolute Destruction AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES! HE'S GOING TO BREAK HIS NECK!" Church called.

...

...

...

...Shadow got off Jason's shoulder at the last second and pushed Jason into the corner! Jason stumbled out of the corner from the collision...

...

...and got a kick to the gut, then got himself bent forward and arms hooked...

...

...

...

...CHAOS NIGHTMARE CONNECTS!

"THE CHAOS NIGHTMARE! Third time's the charm as Shadow gets ALL OF IT!" Church exclaimed.

"DAMMIT! This wasn't supposed to happen! Unfortunately, I have to say, Jason..." Sarge began.

Shadow turns Jason and hooks the leg!

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

("Voices" by Rev Theory)

"Here is your winner...Shadow the Hedgehog!"

The crowd cheered loudly as Shadow stood up to his feet, stoic in his gaze as the ref held up his hand in victory. The hedgehog then pulled his hand away and climbed a nearby turnbuckle and stared out into the crowd stoically, before pointing to the Final Clash sign, a silent affirmation that the Intercontinental Title would be his come the event. Shadow then got off the turnbuckle, and stared down at Jason was slowly coming to after the Chaos Nightmare. Shadow simply said "Hold onto that title real tight...because you won't have it for much longer." Shadow then exited the ring and made his way up the ramp and to the back.

"And Shadow with one HELL of a win here tonight! He just pinned the Intercontinental Champion, and that is a huge momentum booster right there! Hell, momentum like that could lead him to take the Intercontinental Title at Final Clash!" Church said.

"Dammit, why did this happen?! Why didn't anyone tell me Shadow as gonna win?! I demand that this be rectified, he's just a damn dirty hedgehog who's gonna get his neck broken, how was he supposed to win?!" Sarge questioned.

"Well he just did, Sarge, and if anything, Shadow has a hell of a good chance to win come Final Clash! He has the mental advantage now, and the Fatal 4-Way may be his soon enough!" Church said.

After Shadow had left for the back, Jason finally came to, coming to a sitting position...and he slowly realized what happened as he looked around. His eyes went wide, and his breath slowly became hyper-ventilated. He muttered "No, no, no, no, no...No, no, NO, NO, NOOO!" Jason then slammed his fists on the mat in pure insanity and paranoia, the fact that he lost this close to Final Clash getting to him! He shouted "THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN! THIS WILL NOT STAND! I AM THE CHAMPION! ME! MY TITLE! MINE! NO HEDGEHOG WILL TAKE IT!" Jason then rolled out of the ring, grabbed his IC Title, and tightly held it against his chest as he stomped his way around the ring and up the ramp, snarling and foaming at the mouth, muttering how he wouldn't lose what he worked for.

"...You know, that is NOT surprising. Seriously, you had to see that coming if you knew Jason at all." Church deadpanned.

"Well what do you expect?! He got beat by a dirtbag hedgehog! There is no other worthy reaction! He can't lose to any of the dirty Blues, he can't!

"Jason was already a paranoid, insane mess before, this is only going to worsen it. And that's bad news for everything else in his path...this Fatal 4-Way Match is going to be pure CHAOS..." Church said.


The cameras on the Titantron go backstage, where we see Shadow walking through the halls with the same stoic look on his face, not showing indication of any joy he took over his victory. That was when Caboose ran up to him...and then right past him as he crashed into something off-screen.

"OW!" Caboose yelped off-screen. "...Now who put that there? Where is Freckles? He was supposed to be with me for this!"

"You're not having an Assault Rifle with an AI! Now do the interview!" A worker shouted, kicking Caboose back onto screen next to Shadow, who did not look amused.

"Oh...right. That's what I was here for...I forgot." Caboose noted before seeing Shadow. "Oh hello, scary, broody hedgehog! See I was just walking around, you know minding my own business, holding this..." Caboose then held up the 2014 FWA for Interviewer Team of the Year, the second one for the Reds and Blues. "...which I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS FOR, but it makes the others happen...when some guys pulled me aside...they were very mean and uncaring and a bit sloppy...and then they told me to talk to, and I forgot what they told me to ask you... Yeah, that's what happened..."

"ASK HIM HIS THOUGHTS ON THE MATCH HE JUST WON, YOU IDIOT!" A worker shouted off-screen.

"OH! Right...you know, you don't have to shout. Freckles doesn't like it when you shout..." Caboose said. "Sooo...you won your match, yaaaaaaayyy! ...Do you have anything to say about it?"

Shadow just watched this all with an annoyed look but shook his head and talked. "...Tonight...I showed Jason Krueger one thing. That for all his ranting, for all his proclamations, for all his tightening grip on his title...that he is vulnerable...and he is NOT invincible when it comes to that title. The Messiah of the Neckbreakers CAN fall, and I proved that if our last bout didn't have Chaos involved...I would have won. And it's only the beginning...for time is running for Jason Krueger. All reigns come to an end...and his will be the next one at MY hands, regardless of Hope and Chaos also in the match. They may all have their strengths...but I am the Ultimate Life Form, and I've come TOO FAR to be denied. At Final Clash, you're looking at the new Inte-"

JASON SLAMMED HIS TITLE INTO SHADOW'S SKULL OUT OF NOWHERE!

"SON OF A BITCH! JASON JUST CLOCKED SHADOW'S SKULL!" Church exclaimed.

"BRAWL TIME! BRAWL TIME! TIME FOR A GOOD OL' FAHSIONED BRAWL BACKSTAGE!" Sarge exclaimed.

Shadow fell down and Jason began raining down fists on him as Caboose ran away, shouting "I DON'T WANT TO GO TO BAD DREAMS, FREDDY KRUEGER!" Jason was shouting "YOU WON'T TAKE IT FROM ME! YOU WON'T!" Jason then picked up Shadow and SLAMMED him into a nearby crate, before crushing his head in with his knee! Jason was FOAMING at the mouth, a twitch in his eye as all he saw was a threat to everything he had built up for himself! He then picked up Shadow and lifted him into a Fireman's Carry...

"OH DAMMIT! He's trying to break Shadow's neck again! HE WANTS HIM OUT OF THE GAME ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Church exclaimed.

"HEY, HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEATEN HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE! HE HAS NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HIMSELF!" Sarge shouted.

Jason snarled and was about to go for Absolute Destruction on the concrete floor, not noticing someone had climbed up a nearby ladder...

...

...

...

...AND GOT A MOONSAULT FROM HOPE OFF THE LADDER, DROPPING SHADOW IN THE PROCESS!

"WHAT?! WHERE DID THAT HEDGEHOG COME FROM?! THIS IS OFFICIAL NECK-BREAKING BUSINESS, HE CAN'T INTERFERE IN IT!" Sarge exclaimed.

"HOPE JUST GOT HIMSELF INTO THIS DEAL! WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE HE WANTS JASON OR WANTS TO HELP SHADOW, HE'S IN IT NOW!" Church shouted

Jason fell down to the ground, and Hope wasted no time in mounting him and rained down fists on the head of the IC Champ. Jason eventually managed to push Hope off of him and stood up, but got TACKLED into the wall by the hedgehog, who kept on raining the fists into Jason's skull! Jason took them for a bit before he began BITING Hope's nose, the hedgehog cried out in pain from this sudden tactic! He managed to pull away and held his nose, but got a Big Boot to the face by Jason! Hope fell down to the ground, and Jason growled at the hedgehog before stomping the hell out of him, shouting "YOU DON'T GET INVOLVED, YOU DAMN HEDGEHOG! YOU DON'T STOP WHAT IS BOUND TO HAPPEN!" before picking up Hope and throwing him away and down to the ground! Jason snarled, losing it...then took a three-point stance...

...Hope slowly got to his feet...

...

...

...

...Jason CHARGED AT HOPE...

"JASON GOING FOR THE GORE GORE GOOOOREEE!" Church shouted.

...

...

...

...Hope LEAPFROGGED over Jason just in the nick of time! Jason was stunned and cursed mentally before turning around...

...

...AND GOT A DOSE OF LIGHT TO THE JAW, THE IMPACT HEARD DOWN THE HALL!

"DOSE OF LIGHT! HOPE JUST GAVE JASON AN EXTRA PAINFUL DOSE OF LIGHT TO HELP EASE THOSE MENTAL PROBLEMS!" Church shouted.

Jason fell down to the ground, dazed and holding his jaw and Hope panted a bit before turning around...

...

...

...

...INTO A KICK TO THE GUT AND A CHAOS NIGHTMARE FROM SHADOW!

"CHAOS NIGHTMARE! HOPE JUST HAD HIMSELF A CHAOS NIGHTMARE COURTESY OF SHADOW, PAL OR NOT!" Church said.

"EVERY MEN FOR HIMSEEEEEELLLLLFFFF!" Sarge drawled out.

Hope was flat on his face and limp, Shadow on his knees as he said "Sorry Hope...but consider us even for that Dose of Light two weeks ago. Every man for himself." Shadow then stood up...

...

...

...

...AND GOT A CHAIR TO THE SKULL FROM CHAOS!

"OOOOOOOOHHHHHH! DAMN, I HEARD THAT FROM HERE! WHERE DID CHAOS COME FROM?!" Church exclaimed.

"HE CAME FROM WHERE ALL GODS COME FROM...THE GLORIOUS REDS! AND HE WANTS DESTRUCTION!" Sarge shouted.

Shadow crumpled to the ground, but Chaos did not waste any time! He lifted Shadow onto his shoulders, spun him off...

...

...

...AND NAILED RAGNAROK ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR! Shadow was laid out and Chaos got to a knee, but then he saw Jason trying to get up to his feet. Chaos smirked darkly before he picked up Jason, placed him between his legs...

...lifted him up by the waist...lifted him up even higher...

...

...

...

...

...AND GAVE HIM THE RIDE TO HELL ON A METAL CRATE!

"AND JASON JUST TOOK A RIDE TO HELL, AND IT'S A RIDE HE WON'T FORGET! CARNAGE, EVERYWHERE! AND CHAOS STANDS TALL!" Church shouted.

"CHAOS PICKED HIS MOMENT, AND TOOK IT! THIS IS WHAT BEING A GOD IS ALL ABOUT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Jason rolled off the metal crate from the impact and fell flat on his face, and indeed, it was Chaos that was standing over every body, and smirked at all the destruction around him. He then saw the IC Title lying on the ground, and grabbed it and lifted it up...saying...

"You cannot deny a God what he wants...for he will do whatever it takes to get it. This is MINE...and it becomes official at Final Clash. BOW DOWN to the God of Destruction."

Chaos then draped the title over Jason's body, and walked off, leaving the three opponents of his to writhe on the floor in pain.


"Well...THAT was all-out carnage right there. Those four guys beat the living crap out of each other, proving it was indeed every man for himself, and Chaos was the one standing tall with the momentum." Church said.

"The God indeed has all the momentum, and there may be no one to stop the path of destruction he's on. He's on a mission, and Jason...poor, poor Jason...he's about to get Sarge'd in the WORST way." Sarge shook his head.

"As if Jason wasn't a paranoid mess BEFORE...now he's gonna go off the deep end. And it's gonna come to a head when these four clash in three weeks." Church said.

("Agent Tex (Instrumental)" by Jeff Williams)

The crowd went crazy as Agent Tex came out onto the stage with a focus in her step. She stood on the stage, staring down at the ring before pounding her fist into her palm and cracking her neck menacingly. She walked down the ramp as the crowd chanted "Tex! Tex! Tex!" and she leaped onto the apron and entered the ring. She then threw her hand forward as if though throwing a fist and raised her fist high.

"The following contest is a tag team contest scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Blood Gulch, weighing in at 167 lbs., Agent Tex!"

"And here comes my ex-girlfriend, who is on a MISSION to tear apart Samus tonight just weeks before their Final Clash match, and she's even willing to do it with a partner! That shows how angry she is!" Church said.

"Tex can be PRETTY painful...I still feel the pains, the HORRIBLE pains...and the fact that she's willing to be on a team is something else. Samus better be careful when getting into this match or else." Sarge said.

"Tex and Samus have been having problems dating all the way back to Royal Reckoning, and those problems are about to ramped up tonight along with something else..." Church said.

("The Other Side" by Evanescence)

The crowd gave out loud cheers and Tifa Lockhart walked out from the back, clad in her Advent Children attire as she had a focused look on her face. She pulled on her gloves a bit before throwing her fist into the air, setting pyro off around her. She then made her way down the ramp, a determined look on her face as she slapped hands with a few fans. She then got on the apron and leaped over the ropes and into the ring, running to the ropes and threw her fist forward as she reached them. Tifa then pulled down at her gloves, as if prepping herself up more.

"And her tag team partner, from Edge, weighing in at 133. lbs. Tifa Lockhart!"

"And it's the Women's Title situation! And Tifa, the Number One Contender, is finally able to get her hands on Lightning, and as evident by tonight, she wants to make it clear she REFUSES to lay down for Lightning just like that!" Church said.

"She shouldn't put up a fight at all! Can't she see that she's not impressive anymore and she should just go away AND THAT AT FINAL CLASH, LIGHTNING WILL MURDER HER LIKE THE DIRTY BLUE SHE IS!" Sarge cried out.

"We'll see about that Sarge, because tonight, we're gonna get a little preview, and if Tifa has her way, we'll be seeing a knockout tonight." Church said.

("Seduction" by Eminem)

The crowd gave loud boos as opposed to the mixed reaction from a few weeks earlier, as Samus came out in her Zero Suit, a cocky smirk on her face as she stared Tifa and Tex. With a confident stride in her step, she made her way down the ramp. Ignoring the fans, Samus leaped onto the apron and entered the ring, still grinning with confidence.

"And their opponents, first, from the Planet Zebes, weighing in at 198 lbs., Samus Aran!"

"Last week, Samus broke her silence, stating her reasons for attacking and screwing with Tex was that she didn't like everyone saying Tex paved the way for her after all she did, and she wants to prove that wrong by beating her." Church said.

"AND SHE WILL! ...I will never say this in front of Tex, I value my life. But SHE WILL! She has all the tools, and she did what she did regardless of Tex! And it's time to show the world the truth!" Sarge said.

"It's Female World Champion vs Female Rumble Winner at Final Clash, and this whole deal is about to get a lot more fuel to the fire." Church said.

("Playing the Saint" by Digital Summer)

The crowd gave a big mixed reaction, 65 percent boos and 35 percent cheers as the music played, and Lightning came out onto the stage, Women's Title over her shoulder and her Women's Champion of the Year FWA in hand. She held a hard gaze towards the ring before she looked out towards the crowd, before raising her title high with one hand, turning around and pointing to the RR initials on the back of her jacket. She then walked down the ramp, focused as ever and got on the apron, and looked at Tex and Samus, then entered. She then stood in the middle of the ring and held up her title and FWA.

"And their opponent, representing the Rookie Revolution, from Bodhum, Cocoon, weighing in at 145 lbs., she is the UCA Women's Champion, Lightning Farron!"

"And here comes the Women's Champion, who became a recent two-time FWA Winner! Women's Champion of the Year and Technician of the Year! That is HUGE for the Vice President of the RR, but to Lightning, that's not enough. No she wants one more thing..." Church said.

"And that's the destruction of Tifa at her hand! She wants the torch, and she'll TAKE IT FROM HER COLD, LIFELESS HANDS! In the name of the Reds, only a Red as great as her could do such a thing! DO IT FOR US!" Sarge shouted.

"Lightning and Samus don't like each other, but they've agreed to put their differences aside for the sake of tonight, and who knows what could happen from that." Church said.

It was decided that Tifa and Samus would start the match as their partners got on the apron, and the ref rang the bell. Samus charaged at Tifa, who dodged the bounty hunter and gave a few Shoot Kicks to the leg. Samus threw a right at Tifa, but she ducked and kneed Samus in the gut before whipping her into the ropes, and going for a Clothesline. Samus ducked it and nailed a Neckbreaker Slam on Tifa, and covered her! 1...2...Tifa kicks out! Samus picked up Tifa and tried for a Gutwrench Suplex, but Tifa flipped onto her feet! Samus turned around, and Tifa went for a Roundhouse Kick, and the bounty hunter ducked in time! Samus pushed Tifa into a corner, and ran at her, but got caught with a foot to the jaw, which was then followed up with a Spinning Heel Kick! Tifa picks up Samus and goes for a Body Slam, but Samus slips behind her and METROID KILL-Tifa ELBOWS Samus in the jaw in time to escape and quickly tags in Tex to loud cheers!

"Ooooooooh SHIT! Tex is in the ring the same time as Samus! It's about go down in Sinnoh!" Church stated.

"I can't wait for this! It's gonna be AWESOME! ...AVENGE ME, SAMUS!" Sarge shouted.

Tex got into the ring and glared at Samus across the ring, who just stared right back at Tex unmoving and unflinching. Samus smirked, and Tex made a beeline for her...and Samus just walked back to her corner and tagged in Lightning. The crowd booed as Samus got on the apron, and Lightning shook her head as she got in. Tex glared at Samus, who just said "My terms...NOT yours." and Tex decided to take her anger out on Lightning as she threw a right at her, but the Champ ducked it and kicked Tex in the gut, followed by a sweep of the legs dropping Tex, and then a Jumping Knee Drop to the gut! Lightning picked up Tex and nailed a few forearms to the face repeatedly before bouncing off the ropes AND RIGHT INTO A BRUTAL LARIAT FROM TEX! Tex stomped on Lightning repeatedly before picking her up and lifting her into a Military Press...then throwing her down to the ground with authority!

"And Tex is MANHANDLING Lightning right now after Samus...well...bailed on a fight with her!" Church said.

"She didn't bail! Rule number one in Samus' bounty hunter book, that I bought on eBay...SAMUS chooses the fights, not her opponent." Sarge said.

Tex dropped down and nailed a few fists to the skull of Lightning before picking her up and whipping her HARD into a corner! She then ran and nailed Lightning with a vicious Corner Clothesline, then pulled her into a Tilt-A-Whirl Powerslam! Tex hooks the leg! 1...2...Lightning kicks out! Tex pulls her up by the hair and drags her to her corner...but Lightning suddenly nails a Back Suplex on Tex! Tex groaned in pain before getting on her knees and getting a KICK TO THE SKULL! Tex went stiff, and Lightning quickly picked and lifted her up...and BRAINBUSTER ON THE KNEE!

"Oooohhh, Lightning just busted Tex's brain across her knee! That's NOT good to feel, I am damn sure of!" Church said.

Lightning hooks the leg!

Tex kicks out!

"And even I knew Tex would kick out there, but don't worry, it's just softening her up is all! Yeah...I hope to GOD." Sarge muttered.

Lightning wasted no time in dropping knees across the body of Tex to keep her down before picking her up, and begins nailing Kawada Kicks to the skull! One, two, three, four, fi-TEX CAUGHT THE FIFTH KICK! Lightning was shocked until she was PLANTED with a Thrust Spinebuster! Tex then tagged in Tifa and picked up Lightning and whipped her over to Tifa...who nailed a Discus Big Boot on her as she came close! Tifa dropped for the cover! 1...2...Lightning kicks out! Tifa picked up Lightning, and nailed big Kneelift to the face of Lightning, stunning her, before bouncing off the ropes...

...

...and nailing a Savate Kick right to the jaw of Lightning!

"And now TIFA FINALLY gets her hands on Lightning, and you can tell this is something she's been dying to get a taste of!" Church said.

"This is just stupid luck! Guess what?! TIFA'S ABOUT OUT OF IT! AND LIGHTNING IS FULL OF IT! SO GO FULL ON LUCKY, FARROOONNN!" Sarge exclaimed...while Church just stared with a "What the f*ck" look at Sarge.

Tifa drops for the cover! 1...2...Lightning kicks out! Tifa quickly picks up Lightning against, and lifts her for a Powerslam...Lightning slips out behind Tifa, grabs the waist, and pushes her to the ropes! Tifa holds onto them as Lightning rolls backwards and onto her feet...

...and then runs into two punches to the face, Shoot Kick to the leg, then a Spinning Backfist...

...

...Beat Rush (Two punches to face, Shoot Kick to leg, Spinning Backfist, and Lariat Combo) DENIED as Lightning DROPKICKS Tifa as she went for the Lariat portion! Tifa stumbled up to her feet but Lightning grabbed her in a Front Headlock...but then Tifa spun out of it and went for a Roundhouse Kick!

...Lightning DUCKED, and Tifa was now in a Pumphandle as Lightning had her...

...

...

...and nailed a Pumphandle Fallaway Slam on her!

"And Lightning REGAINS control by perfectly countering Tifa every step of the way! That pull into that Pumphandle move was GREAT!" Church said.

"HEY! Don't be surprised...it's what we Reds do after all...and you dirty Blues can't...because you suck...and you don't matter...and we will always be better than you." Sarge said.

Lightning hooks the leg!

...

Tifa kicks out!

"Tifa with the kick out before two...but the match is NOW in Lightning & Samus' control. And they are about to get to work!" Church said.

Lightning went over to her corner and tagged in Samus, who quickly climbed a corner as Tifa was stumbling to her feet...AND NAILED HER WITH THE ICE BEAM! Samus goes for the cover! 1...2...Tifa kicks out! Samus stands over Tifa and kicks her in the side hard, causing her to cough before picking her up and throwing her into a corner! Samus then began nailing Shoulder Thrusts to the gut of Tifa! Samus was nearing ten when Tifa suddenly CAUGHT HER with a Knee to the temple! Samus backed up holding her head as Tifa pulled herself to the second turnbuckle...

...dived...

...

...and SAMUS CAUGHT HER AND NAILED AN OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!

"And Samus just plucked Tifa out of the air and threw her over like it was NOTHING!" Church said.

"That's why she's a former World Champion, dirtbag! Think about it...if she wasn't stronger than everybody else...how could she be better than you?" Sarge asked.

Samus stood up with a cocky smirk on her face and turned to Tex, pointing to Tifa and said "This is in your future, girl. Memorize your fate." Tex clenched her fists in anger from the apron before picking up Tifa, and nailing a Back Suplex Backbreaker on her! Cover!

...

Tifa kicks out!

Samus picks up Tifa and tags Lightning back in and threw her to the Women's Champ, who caught Tifa with a Flapjack! Another cover! 1...2...Tifa kicks out! Lightning then grabs Tifa by the hair and says to her "You don't want to be a statistic?! ...Your whole career has been built JUST to be my statistic! THAT is fact, has-been!" Lightning then BRUTALLY knees Tifa in the face before whipping her into the ropes...

...but Tifa held onto the ropes to not rebound back! Lightning scowled and ran at Tifa, who Back Dropped her over the ropes...but the Champ landed on the apron! Tifa turned around, but got a kick to the gut through the ropes, bending her over! Lightning slingshotted over the ropes...

...

...and Tifa CAUGHT THE LIGHTNING FLASH AND HAD LIGHTNING ON HER SHOULDER! Lightning was shocked as she was PLANTED WITH A BRIDGING NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!

"Now THAT was a HELL of a counter! The always underestimated strength from TIFA! She's got Lightning!" Church said.

...

...

Lightning kicks out!

"NO SHE DOESN'T! So much for your COUNTER, Tifa?! Hah! What are you gonna do NOOOOOOWWW?!" Sarge questioned.

The two quickly scrambled to their AND TIFA DAMN NEAR TOOK LIGHTNING'S HEAD OFF WITH A DISCUS ELBOW SMASH!

"HOW ABOUT THAT?! TIFA MAY HAVE JUST CLOCKED LIGHTNING'S LIGHTS OUT!" Church shouted. "This is her CHANCE!"

Tex indeed felt the same and had her hand held out shouting "COME ON LOCKHART! GIVE ME THE DAMN TAG! GIVE ME IT!" Tifa heard Tex's shouts and slowly began crawling towards her as Lightning was down. Tex reached out her hand as much as she could...and Tifa LEAPED towards her...

...

...

...

...but SAMUS RAN IN AND KNOCKED TEX OFF THE APRON BEFORE THE TAG WAS MADE!

"HAHAHAHA! THE GENIUS OF THE REDS! Didn't see that coming, did ya Tex?! How's that feel?! ...Oh God, please don't let her hear that." Sarge said.

"Dammit, Samus made sure Tex couldn't be tagged in, and you BET she did that JUST to hurt her Tex as well and get to her! Samus is obviously a bitch like that..." Church said.

Samus smirked cockily at the downed Tex before turning around...

...

...

...AND TOOK A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SKULL, COURTESTY OF A TICKED OFF TIFA! Samus rolled out of the ring from the kick, and Tifa glared at Samus before shaking her head and turning around...

...

...

...

...AND GOT A VALHALLA STRIKE THAT TURNED HER INSIDE OUT!

"VALHALLA STRIKE! SHE KEPT HER EYES ON SAMUS TOO LONG, AND TIFA PAID THE PRICE WITH A JACKED UP JAW FROM LIGHTNING!" Church exclaimed.

"And THAT'S THAT! Tifa..." Sarge began.

Lightning quickly hooks the leg!

1...

...

...

...

...

Tifa kicks out!

"You Just Got...NOT Sarge'd?! Damn these Blues and their tendency to kick out! Seriously, you Blues should just know better. After all, why do we keep beating you?" Sarge questioned.

"...You know the Reds and Blues haven't fought for YEARS, right?" Church questioned.

"You're just waiting for the chance to strike at us, I KNOW IT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Lightning scowled in frustration before standing up and began stomping out Tifa repeatedly before KICKING the side of Tifa's head hard! She then saw Samus slowly getting on the apron, holding her head and tagged her in! Samus then entered the ring and kicked the head of Tifa as she was trying to get up, then lifted her up, and dropped her with an Uranage! Samus stood with an arrogant swagger as she slowly walked over to Tifa, taking her sweet time before shoved Tifa's away with her foot, showing complete disrespect to her!

"...And Samus is just now TOYING with Tifa, filling her own ego with crap like that. Seriously, do people like that grow on trees or are they really assholes deep down in their black hearts?" Church asked.

"Sssshhhh...quiet, dirtbag... I'm watching great work before me. It needs SILENCE." Sarge demanded.

Samus continued doing this to Tifa for laughs for a few more moments before picking her up, whipping her into the corner, and she stumbled out of it...and got dropped with a Running STO! Samus covers! 1...2...Tifa kicks out. Samus just grins as she picks up Tifa again, and nails a Pendulum Backbreaker on her! Another cover...another kick out! Samus was simply having fun at this point but then dragged Tifa up to her feet, and hooked her with a Double Chickenwing from behind...

"Uh-oh...this may be the END...Metroid Killer time!" Church called.

Samus lifted Tifa up HIGH by her arms...

...

...

...

...Tifa freed an arm and ELBOWED Samus in the jaw as she was lifted, causing her to let go! Samus held her jaw, but got a Jumping Knee Smash to that very jaw, sending her to the ropes! Tifa panted a bit before running to Samus against the ropes...

...

...who caught her with a kick to the chest, sending her back a bit! Samus ran at Tifa...

...

...

...

...WHO POPPED HER UP IN THE AIR AND NAILED HER WITH THE DOLPHIN BLOW (Pop-Up European Uppercut) ON THE WAY DOWN!

"DOLPHIN BLOW! DOLPHIN BLOW TO THE MUSH! SAMUS TOOK TOO MUCH TIME AND PAID THE PRICE FOR IT!" Church said.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS CANNOT BE! DAMN YOU DOLPHINS! DAMN YOOOOOUUUUUU!" Sarge shook his fist in anger.

Both women were down and out as Tex paced on her apron, knowing this was the chance! Tex held out her hand, practically shouting "TAG ME IN NOW, OR I SWEAR TO GOD, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS! NOW!" Tex kept her hand out, and Lightning also had her hand held out for a tag, sensing one was needed as well. Eventually, Tifa rolled onto her stomach and crawled over to Tex slowly but surely! Samus eventually came to, and in a daze, pulls herself to her own corner...

...

...they inch closer and closer...

...

...

...

...

...AND TIFA TAGS IN TEX, AND SAMUS TAGS IN LIGHTNING RIGHT AFTER!

"TEX AND LIGHTNING ARE IN! IT IS ON NOW, PEOPLE! IT IS ON!" Church said.

Both of them entered the ring and ran at each other AND TEX BOWLS HER OVER WITH A RUNNING SHOULDER BLOCK! Lightning stumbles up to her feet in shock and Tex RAMS her into a nearby corner and begins nailing vicious Shoulder Thrusts repeatedly before pulling her onto her shoulders and dropping with a Samoan Drop! Tex stood up then ran and BOOTED SAMUS OFF THE APRON AS SHE WAS STANDING ON IT! Payback from earlier! Tex growled at Samus before turning and picking up Lightning, but Lightning suddenly gave a Snap Arm Drag! Tex easily rolled onto her feet, but got Lightning swerving behind her and rolled into a School Boy! 1...2...TEX KICKS OUT! Tex rolls onto her knees and DUCKS A SUPERKICK! Lightning turns around and GETS A BRUTAL UPPERCUT TO THE JAW!

"Tex is kicking some MAJOR ASS! She is PISSED, and she wants to HURT PEOPLE! BAD!" Church said.

"...Can we throw Grif in there? I want to see his balls destroyed by Tex. Lasercorn will LOVE that." Sarge said.

Lightning fell into the ropes, where she got a relentless barrage of punches and kicks by Tex to all over her body and she is unable to defend them! Tex nails an especially vicious Right Hook to the jaw of Lightning before putting her between her legs, lifting her...

...

...

...AND PLANTING HER WITH A POWERBOMB!

"POWERBOMB! Lightning's in la-la land, and that may be it for the Vice President of the RR!" Church said.

"NO NO NO! NOT LIGHTNING! ANYONE BUT LIGHTNING! SHE'S TOO GOOD FOR THIS! TOO GOOD!" Sarge shouted.

Tex covers Lightning!

...

LIGHTNING KICKS OUT!

"ONLY TWO! Lightning stays alive but for HOW LONG?! An angry Tex is not a Tex you want to deal with for long! She hurts you...in ways...I cannot go over. I REALLY can't...it would scar you." Church shuddered.

Tex glared down at Lightning before dragging her up to her feet and lifting her onto her shoulder for the Texas Dominator...

...

...

...but Lightning slipped out of it and towards the ropes! Tex stomped over to Lightning...BUT THE CHAMP DROP TOE HOLDS TEX INTO THE MIDDLE ROPES! Tex falls down holding her chest, and Lightning slides under the ropes and stands on the apron! She waits for Tex to stand...

...then slingshots over...

...

...

...

...AND NAILS A LIGHTNING FLASH!

"LIGHTNING FLASH! LIGHTNING SPIKED TEX RIGHT ON HER SKULL!" Church exclaimed.

"And now...for the FINALE! Tex..." Sarge said.

Lighting wastes no time hooking both legs as tightly as possible!

...

...

TEX KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...A KICKOUT?! GAAAAHH! Why can't I have my fantasies be reality?! WHHHHYYYYYY?!" Sarge questioned.

"Tex is a tough bitch, Sarge, you know this! It's gonna take a lot more to put HER down for the count!" Church said.

Lightning growled in furstration, angry that she hadn't won this match for her team! She decided it was time to end before standing! She then grabbed one of Tex's leg and lifted it...then wrapped the back of her leg around the back of Tex's leg...

"Huh? What in the hell is she doing? Is this some s-" Church said.

"OH!" Sarge said in realization. "I KNOW THIS! IT'S THE NEW SUBMISSION OF HERS! THE ONE SHE'S USING IN HER ARSENAL! LIGHTNING LOCK OMEGA (Mike Quackenbush's move of the same name)! SHE LOCKS IT IN, IT'S OVER!"

Lighting grab Tex's other free leg and went to tie it around Tex's first leg...but Tex's leg started struggling...and began kicking Lightning in the face with said leg! Eventually, she had to let go of Tex and back off, allowing the Freelancer to stand up! Tex went to grab Lightning...

...

...

...

...AND GOT A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW...

...

...

...

...BUT TEX STAYED STANDING LONG ENOUGH TO BOOT LIGHTNING'S HEAD OFF BEFORE FALLING DOWN! TEX AND LIGHTNING ARE DOWN!

"SUPERKICK TO TEX! BIG BOOT TO LIGHTNING! BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN! IT'S ANYONE'S GAME AS THEIR PARTNERS HAVEN'T GOTTEN BACK ON THEIR APRONS YET!" Church shouted. "WHO'S GONNA TAKE ADVANTAGE?!"

The two stayed down for a little while before they began stirring. Eventually, Lightning used the ropes near the corner to pull herself up while Tex pushed herself to her feet. Tex staggered around...saw Lightning...and on instinct, RAN at her...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND SAMUS CAUGHT THE RUNNING TEX WITH THE RING BELL TO THE SKULL, SAID BELL RINGING ACROSS THE ARENA!

"WHAT THE HELL?! SAMUS?! SHE JUST CLOCKED TEX IN THE SKULL WITH THE BELL! WHAT THE F*CK, MAN?!" Church shouted.

"TEX'S HEAD WILL CERTAINLY BE RINGING AFTER THAT!" Sarge added.

The ref called for the DQ...though the bell to ring the decision was in Samus' hands. Samus glared stoically down at out of it Freelancer...before she threw the ring bell down to the ground, then dragged Tex up. She hooked Tex with a Double Chickenwing...

...lifted her...

...

...

...

...AND DROPPED HER FACEFIRST ON THE BELL WITH THE METROID KILLER!

"AND METROID KILLER ON THE DAMN BELL! WAS THIS EVER ABOUT WINNING IN THE FIRST PLACE FOR SAMUS?!" Church stated.

"NOPE! FOR SAMUS, IT WAS ABOUT MAKING A STATEMENT! AND SHE MADE A RINGING ONE HERE AND NOW!" Sarge said.

Tex wasn't moving as she was face-first unconscious on the ring bell as Samus stood up and looked down at her! It seemed like she was going to do MORE...

...

...but TIFA slid into the ring and went for a PREMIUM HEART ON SAMUS! The bounty hunter saw it in time and DUCKED before she got knocked out and rolled out of the ring! Samus backed up the ramp quickly as Tifa glared at Samus, not liking what she did at all and shouting "What the hell's your problem?! Couldn't beat us so you had to beat us UP?!" Samus just smirked from her position on the ramp...before pointing behind Tifa...

...

...

...and Tifa was confused...until her eyes widened, and she turned around...

...

...

...

...RIGHT INTO LIGHTNING CLOCKING HER IN THE SKULL WITH HER FWA!

"SON OF A BITCH! NOW LIGHTNING WITH HER FWA OFF TIFA'S SKULL! IT WAS NEVER ABOUT WINNING THE MATCH FOR EITHER OF THEM!" Church shouted.

Tifa fell down to the mat, laid out from the FWA shot as Lightning glared angrily at Tifa...before dropping down to her knees and began SMASHING the FWA REPEATEDLY into the skull of Tifa, UNRELENTING with her assault! After the eighth shot, Tifa was busted open, but still Lightning did NOT relent! After about sixteen shots with the FWA, Lightning stopped, Tifa's head a bloody mess from all the shot. She then laid the FWA on the mat...and then dragged Tifa over to it...

...

...she pulled Tifa's arms back...causing the upper half of her body to be lifted over her Award...

...

...

...

...AND SHE CURBSTOMPED TIFA'S FACE RIGHT INTO THE FWA AS HARD AS SHE COULD!

"AND TIFA'S HEAD HAS JUST BEEN STOMPED INTO PASTE! TIFA'S COMPLETELY OUT WITH A DAMN CRIMSON MASK! SHE'S NEVER GOING TO FORGET THAT FWA NOW!" Church said.

"SOMEONE TAKE PICTURES OF THIS! COMMIT IT TO MEMORY! MAKE SURE THIS GLORIOUS MOMENT IS NEVER FORGOTTEN!" Sarge shouted.

Surprisingly, the FWA did NOT break OR bend from this...it was sturdy surprisingly. But Tifa's blood was starting to cover it, and Lightning pulled it out from under her, letting Tifa's head fall to the mat as she began wiping the blood off her FWA casually, all while boos rained down on her. Once done wiping the blood off, she set her FWA down and slid out of the ring, grabbing her title and then looked under the ring...

...

...and pulled out a strange blue gauntlet that had a heart symbol on it.

"Huh? What the hell is that thing? It looks UGLY...it's got the color BLUE on it, eh..." Sarge stated.

"Wait a second...that's...HOLY SHIT, THAT'S ONE OF TIFA'S PREMIUM HEART GAUNTLETS! THE GAUNTLETS HER DISCUS KO PUNCH IS NAMED AFTER! Where did LIGHTNING get THAT?!" Church questioned.

Lightning then slid into the ring and laid her title down before sliding the gauntlet onto her hand. After making sure it fit...she dragged Tifa up to her feet, the FF girl completely out of it...looked icily into Tifa's eyes...

...

...

...BEFORE NAILING A PREMIUM HEART ON TIFA WITH THE GAUNTLETED-HAND!

"...Tifa's own Premium Heart finisher...with Tifa's own Premium Heart gauntlet... That's just insult to injury of the HIGHEST level." Church said.

"Really? I think it's POETRY. Beautiful poetry...so beautiful...why can't Lightning be one of the great poets of our time?" Sarge asked.

Tifa was LAID OUT and unconscious in the ring, bleeding out as Lighting looked down stoically at Tifa before pulling off the gauntlet and throwing it down onto Tifa, then picked up Tifa and her FWA, and then got herself a mic. After shouldering her title, she spoke...

"...You still there, Tifa? Are you?" Lightning asked mockingly, even using her foot to move Tifa's head in mocking fashion. "You seem pretty out of it...that's a shame. Just goes to show that you REALLY don't belong here anymore. Hell, your five Women's Title reigns...nothing but CRAP. Anybody could do what you did...and yet you're glorified and act like you're some big somebody? A true shame indeed... It seems your only place in this world is to go and be the housewife of that insane idiot, Deadpool. Fitting for someone like you, isn't it? And at Final Clash...I make sure you STAY there...PERMANENTLY." Lightning crouched down and spoke in a cold tone. "Want me to TAKE the torch from you? ...GLADLY. And when I do...it'll be the most PAINFUL experience of your life. And you'll realize...you NEVER should have stood in my way. This is my time...my FWAs...my title...and my Vice Presidency prove it...and at Final Clash...you'll just be another casualty of the Rookie Revolution."

Lightning then dropped the mic onto Tifa's body and stood up, raising both her title and FWA high into the air, as boos (with a smattering of cheers) rain down upon her. All while Tex is also laid out on the side of the ring, all while Samus watched from the top of the ramp with a smirk on her face.

"...And Lightning just made it LOUD AND CLEAR. She's out to END Tifa and "take the torch" no matter the cost. And after what happened tonight...Tifa may be in BIG trouble." Church said.

"And let's not forget what happened to Tex! Samus also sent a message loud and clear, and Tex is FEELING that message no doubt about it!" Sarge stated.

"Lightning Farron...Samus Aran...the balls are in THEIR court...and THAT is bad news for their opponents and EVERYONE else." Church said.


The cameras then go to another area, and it seems to be just outside of the arena in the night of the day. Eventually, the cameras eventually land on the Tornado, Tails' own plane...and Miles "Tails" Prower himself sitting on the plane, his Tag Team Title hanging from his hand as he has a contemplative look.

"Tables...Ladders...and Chairs." Tails began. "These three words instantly cause so many feelings within so many people. I don't need to go over the basics, The Elrics and Team 2D did that for us already. Just know that at Final Clash, three teams walk into a metal death war, all for the glory of our Tag Team Titles. And as we are about to head into this highly dangerous...one thing becomes clear..."

"...We're the underdogs, me and Knuckles. WE'RE the underdogs." Tails proclaimed. "Not only do we have a 2/3 chance of losing our titles...but me and Knuckles have never teamed together in a TLC Match. We've been in them before...but NEVER as a team. Team 2D and The Elrics however...well they told of you their great experience first hand. Honestly, the statistical odds are against us in every way...why bet on us all at all? But you know what...?"

"THOSE NUMBERS DON'T MEAN A DAMN THING!" Knuckles shouted as he came into picture, Tag Title around his waist as he pounded his fists together angrily. "I've never been good with numbers, and honestly, I could care less with them right about now! WHY?! Because all I care about is beating The Elrics and Team 2D into a PULP! Ed gave me a damn Automail Clothesline at Last Stand, and his BROTHER, Alphonse, had me DROPPED on a ladder with an FMA! And Team 2D?! That stupid cat and mouse have been hounding and attacking us for WEEKS, and I'm SICK of it! Tables, Ladders, and Chairs?! THANK YOU, FORCE! Because SCREW us being underdogs, I'm gonna relish every second of pain we put all of you four through with those weapons! And once we're done, we're gonna climb up those ladders, get our titles, and LEAVE YOU IN THE DUST!" Knuckles POUNDS the ground, leaving a fist imprint in the concrete as he scowls at the camera. "HOW YOU LIKE THAT, HUH?!"

Tails leaped off the Tornado, using his tails to float down to the ground before holding Knuckles back, calming him down a bit before turning to the camera. "I won't lie...I didn't always agree with Knuckles on matters related to this...but I DO agree on this. I had no problems with you Elrics despite Knuckles, but after last week...we DO have a problem now! You want to go this route with us? Then we'll gladly go down it. And Team 2D? Think you're so grand? That you're badass? That you're just gonna take our titles? Newsflash: we BEAT you before, we can DO IT AGAIN! We survived THREE TITLE DEFENSES in the span of one month that NEARLY got us an FWA once! I think defying the odds is something we do WELL. So Tables, Ladders, and Chairs? ...Bring it on. I think you four may just find yourselves SURPRISED by what we can do."

Knuckles grinned as he brought his fists together eagerly. "We're World Tag Team Champions...and you four will NOT take them from us so easily. You can take all your experience and SHOVE THEM UP YOUR ASS. Because it won't mean a damn thing when you're buried under tables, ladders, and chairs, heh."

"Final Clash...let's end this...FOR GOOD. The Sonic Heroes are ready... We're not Mobians you're gonna walk over...we're World Tag Team Champions who will be your worst nightmare in three weeks."

Knuckles then unhooked his belt around his waist, and him and Tails raised their titles, determination and anger in their eyes as they are READY for whatever is thrown at them.


"The Sonic Heroes are READY AS HELL as I've ever seen them! They've been burned WAY too many times, and they want to burn right back when it comes to TLC!" Church said.

"Yeah, and guess what?! THEY'LL STILL GET BURNED ANYWAY! The Sonic Heroes don't mean JACK anymore, JACK! Can we write their names off already? Because that'd be great." Sarge stated.

"You always say that, Sarge. It never happens. Get over it. At Final Clash, Team 2D, The Elrics, The Sonic Heroes...these three teams are gonna KILL each other for those weapons of destruction." Church said as the bell rang a few times...then...

("Sleep Now In The Fire" by Rage Against the Machine)

The crowd was booing loudly as Wolfgang came out with a sneer on his face before he looked out to the crowd, before howling like a wolf as the crowd jeered him. Wolfgang then made his way down the ramp, taunting and mouthing off to some fans as he does so before getting on the apron and entering the ring. Wolfgang stood in the ring and sneered more at the crowd saying "Weenies" before howling once more to the sky.

"The ollowing contest is your main event for the evening scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Hillwood, weighing in at 245 lbs., "The Bully" Wolfgang!"

"And here comes The Bully himself...who has been having PROBLMES with one Gordon Freeman, who along with G-Man, has been F*CKIN' with Wolfgang's head for the past several weeks! And the Bully has not been a happy camper!" Church said.

"You THINK?! He DESTROYED Link last week for what Gordon has been doing to him! He doesn't want to be a pushover, he's not some mindgame test dummy! And guess what?! Gordon will PAY for it! He will, that mute FOOL! FOOL!" Sarge stated.

"Wolfgang takes on Gordon in three weeks at Final Clash, and he intends to use this match as a chance to gain even MORE momentum for that match." Church said.

("In The End" by Fade)

The crowd cheered loudly as the lights turned red with black highlights, and Senji came out with his trademark grin, and wearing his black coat about him. Senji stared at Wolfgang eerily before pointing at him with a gun gesture and simply said "Dead-Center..." before making her way down the ramp with a purpose. He then got the apron before climbing up a nearby turnbuckle, looking at Wolfgang with that grin of his, while Wolfgang just snarled and said "Anime WEENIE...' Senji just chuckled before jumping into the ring.

"And his opponent, from Deadman Wonderland, weighing in at 243 lbs., "The Crow" Senji Kiyomasa!"

"This isn't the first time we've seen Senji tonight! Earlier tonight, Senji decided to finally get his hands on Ben and show him what he's in for at Final Clash in Sadistic Madness! And Ben had to leave a bloody mess thanks to the Crow!" Church said.

"A CRIME! WHAT A CRIME BY THIS BASTARD! He should be locked back up in some prison for what he did! MONSTER! MONSTER! Ben will make sure he'll never do this again! Ben's not afraid! NOT AFRAID!" Sarge proclaimed.

"Well Ben left the arena after what happened to him, so Senji looks to add to his momentum tonight, but Wolfgang may look to make an example out of him as well." Church said.

The bell rings and Wolfgang arrogantly walks right over to Senji. Wolfgang smirks at the former Hardcore Champion and starts trash talking him. Senji just stares at Wolfgang as the bully continues insulting him. Wolfgang pokes Senji in the chest and dares him to do something. Senji gives his own smirk and gives a reply...in the form of a hard punch to the face! Wolfgang recoiled back from the shot, turning his back to Senji and holding his jaw in pain. When Wolfgang turns around Senji viciously tackles him to the ground. Senji mounted Wolfgang and began raining down a fury of punches to the bully's skull over and over, Wolfgang attempted to block the punches but failed. After the multiple strikes, Senji picked up a now dazed Wolfgang and whipped him before pulling him back by the arm, and turning it into a sidewalk slam!

"And Wolfgang made a HORRIBLE mistake there! NEVER badmouth The Crow unless you're ready for a FIGHT! And Senji is giving it to Wolfgang!" Church said.

"DAMMIT WOLFGANG! ...KICK ASS, THEN INSULT LATER! IT'S RED 101!" Sarge exclaimed.

Senji picked up Wolfgang, lifted him high into the air, and dropped him face first on the turnbuckle for a snake eyes! Wolfgang fell back onto the mat and when he did Senji started stomping repeatedly onto the bully's back! Wolfgang managed to block another stomp, rolled out of the ring and slowly stood up on the outside. Senji sized up Wolfgang from the outside, bounced off the ropes and ran at him for a baseball slide, but Wolfgang sidestepped out of the way, causing Senji to slide out of the ring and onto his feet. He turned around, and Wolfgang grabbed his head and hit a Rear Chancery Backbrekaer on him! Senji held his back in pain as the Bully composed himself before glaring angrily at the former Hardcore Champion. Senji got to his knees, Wolfgang was having none of that as he kneed Senji hard in the face! Wolfgang then dropped down and began hammering Senji with vicious rights! During all of this the ref had started his count.

"And Wolfgang just POUNDING away at Senji! That Bully has a MEAN STREAK in him! But he better be careful not to get DQed!" Church said.

"Hey, he's just doing what ALL Bullies do...bully. It's an art form." Sarge stated.

Wolfgang laid in right after right on Senji's skull before grabbing the throat of the former Hardcore champion and began choking the life out of him! Wolfgang had a snarl and shouted "Nobody makes a fool out of me! Not G-Man! Not Freeman! And sure as hell not you!" The ref told Wolfgang to break it while also continuing to count. Wolfgang did stop choking Senji then picked him up and got him back in the ring, with Wolfgang following suit just as the ref had reached the count of 8. Wolfgang stood up and started kicked Senji repeatedly. Wolfgang picked Senji up and whipped him into the ropes, catching him on the way back with a big boot! Cover! 1...2...Senji kicks out! Wolfgang got up and yelled at the ref, but just as Wolfgang was about to go out back on the attack something in the stands caught his eye. The bully's eyes widened...

There in the stands was G-Man! The fans freaked out at the G-Man actually being near them!

"HOLY...! Is that G-MAN?! G-Man's in the goddamn stands, and Wolfgang can't believe it! The FANS can't believe it! What's he doing there?!" Church asked.

"I don't know, but he shouldn't be there! HEY! G-MAN! GET AWAY! GET AWAY NOW! THIS IS NOT FOR YOUR EYES! IT'S FOR RED EYES ONLY!" Sarge exclaimed.

Wolfgang starts yelling at G-Man from the ring. Wolfgang then grabbed Senji and turned to G-Man, "This is what's gonna happen to-" but Wolfgang stopped mid sentence when he saw that G-Man was gone! Even the FANS were bewildered as he was literally there a SECOND ago. Wolfgang was shocked and angered by this but before he could do anything Senji punched Wolfgang hard in the gut, then grabbed the bully's head and delivered a jawbreaker! Wolfgang stumbled backward as Senji got up, grabbed Wolfgang's mid section, and delivered a belly to belly suplex!

"And Senji PLANTS Wolfgang with that Belly-to-Belly! But WHERE THE HELL DID G-MAN GO?! He was like...seriously!" Church questioned.

"Dammit, I hate it when he does that! Leaves me with NO answers! And he just gave Senji an opening to work off of! Damn you G-Man!" Sarge stated.

Senji picked up Wolfgang and placed him in the corner before lifting him up onto the top turnbuckle. After setting him up, Senji climbed up to the top, and went to grab him...But Wolfgang starts to fight back with a few hard rights directly to the side of Senji's skull! The former Hardcore champion becomes dazed as Wolfgang climbs to the top. Wolfgang grabs Senji's head... AND HITS SENJI WITH AN AVALANCHE SWINGING NECKBREAKER! The crowd stands on its feet as Senji and Wolfgang bounces off the mat hard. Senji is on the mat arching his back in agony as Wolfgang starts to get to his feet.

"And Wolfgang just DROPPED Senji from off the top with that Swinging Neckbreaker! That was NEW from Wolfgang! But that's how badly he wants to win here!" Church said.

"And that shows how great he is! He has a RIGHT to bully! Yes, a right! It's why the Bullies stable was formed after all!" Sarge proclaimed.

Wolfgang picked Senji up, but Senji pushed him away and went to for a clothesline, but Wolfgang ducked, grabbed the former Hardcore champion by the arm and hit him with an STO! Wolfgang quickly goes for the cover!

1...

2...

Senji kicked out!

"And kickout by Senji! But Wolfgang's got complete control right now. The Crow needs to turn this around, and QUICK!" Church said.

Wolfgang picked up Senji and pushed him into a corner, and starting to punch Senji repeatedly! Wolfgang changed tactics and began ramming his shoulder into Senji's abdomen about five times before pulling him out of the corner by the arm, and whipping him into the ropes. Senji bounced off the ropes and Wolfgang drills him with a running clothesline! Wolfgang got up and walked over to the downed Senji, the bully trashed talked the former Hardcore Champion before kicking him on the side of the head. Wolfgang taunted the fans who booed in response, but his taunting suddenly stopped...

G-Man was suddenly in the front row, and the fans were STUNNED as where did he come from!

"And it's the G-MAN AGAIN! And he's up there close to the action! How the hell does he DO THAT?!" Church asked.

"I don't know, but dammit, STOP DOING THAT! YOU'RE CREEPING ME OUT! I HATE BEING CREEPED OUT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Wolfgang looked shocked before quickly getting angry and getting out of the ring. Wolfgang was just about to come face to face with G-Man...

...but G-Man was no where in sight! The fans didn't know WHAT to make of this as he was vanishing before their eyes!

"And again, he's gone! I repeat, HOW THE HELL DOES HE DO IT?! At this point, I think him AND Gordon are f*ckin' with Wolfgang." Church said.

"Dammit, of course he is! YOU BASTARDS! Your mind games suck! Th

Wolfgang was livid, "WHERE ARE YOU! COME BACK OUT AND FACE ME OLD MAN!" the bully looked around the crowd but G-Man was no where in sight. The bully shook his head before deciding to go back in the ring...

...BUT AS SOON AS HE TURNED TO FACE THE RING SENJI CAME FLYING OUT AT HIM WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!

"And SENJI WITH THE SUICIDE DIVE! The Crow may not fly that often, but when he does, he comes at you like a missile!" Church said.

"DAMMIT! Why did you have to fly, Senji?! That isn't you! DAMN YOU FOR CHOOSING THIS DAY TO BRANCH OUT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Senji got up with a grin, saying "Dead-Center" and then grabbed Wolfgang by the head, Senji walked them both to the ring post and started banging Wolfgang's head off it! After the third time Senji then rolled Wolfgang back into the ring and followed suit.

"And there's that viciouness from The Crow. Love him or hate him, Senji can be one brutal and remorseless bastard, and this is only a FRACTION of what he'll show at Final Clash." Church stated.

Senji then picked him up, grabbed him and whipped him into a corner. Senji ran and nailed a corner clothesline, then whipped Wolfgang into the opposite corner and hit another corner clothesline and allowed Wolfgang to stumbled forward. Senji bounced off the ropes and nailed a running DDT onto Wolfgang! The Bully was dazed as Senji picked him up into a fireman's carry position. He walked around with Wolfgang on his shoulders...

...but Wolfgang got off his shoulders and nailed Senji with a Russian leg-sweep! Wolfgang got up and began stomping on Senji's stomach mercilessly before picking him up. Wolfgang nailed a few forearms to Senji's face before whipping him into the ropes. Wolfgang bent over to prepare for something, but Senji stopped in front of him and nailed him with a facebreaker knee smash! Wolfgang stumbled back and leaned himself on the ropes. Senji went up to the dazed bully, grabbed him, placed Wolfgang's legs on the ropes...

...AND WOLFGANG'S HEAD GETS SLAMMED INTO THE MAT BY SENJI WITH A ROPE HUNG DDT!

"And ROPE-HUNG DDT BY SENJI! The Crow is taking the Bully to town, and he may have him here!" Church said.

Senji turns Wolfgang over and hooks the leg!

WOLFGANG GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

"YES! Good job Wolfgang! No letting the criminal win! He should NEVER win! NEVER!" Sarge exclaimed.

Senji, now looking beyond frustrated, picked up Wolfgang and lifted him up and prepared for the Invisible Black (Argentine sitout facebuster). But Wolfgang suddenly suddenly springs to life, kicks Senji hard in the mid section, lifts him up...and brings Senji down right on his head with a piledriver!

"OOOOHH! Piledriver out of NOWHERE! Wolfgang just DROVE Senji right on his head!" Church said.

'"Wolfgang, you have done the Reds proud with your deliverance of brain damage." Sarge saluted. "And now, Senji..."

Wolfgang covers!

...

SENJI KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...NOT Sarge'd?! ...Well of course, he didn't have many brain cells in the first place. That explains SO MUCH." Sarge said.

Wolfgang's eyes widened before growling in frustration before he stood up and walked over to the ropes, and crouched as he stalked Senji, revving his foot up as Senji slowly stood up.

"And you have to know what Wolfgang is looking for here! The Wolf's Kick to en-WHAT THE F*CK?!" Church suddenly shouted.

Wolfgang was about to go for the Wolf's Kick, but caught something out of his eye...

...

..AND G-MAN WAS AT RINGSIDE AT THE SIDE OF THE RING WOLFGANG WAS AT, STARING A HOLE IN THE BULLY!

"G-MAN! G-Man spooking the hell out of Wolfgang and the rest of us out of THIN AIR! ...HOW THE HELL DOES HE F*CKIN' DO THAT?!" Church shouted.

"STOP DOING THAT! SERIOUSLY! STOP! I CAN'T TAKE IT! I CAN'T TAKE IIIIIITTTT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Wolfgang was TAKEN BACK, truly not expecting G-Man so close with that sort of stare as he backed up a bit! Wolgang was creeped out and flustered and was about to do something, but saw Senji standing up! He looked back and forth between him and G-Man...and shouted in frustration before he went for the Wolf's Kick...

...

...and Senji DUCKED! And as he did, he caught the arm of Wolfgang, turned him around, and pulled him towards him and LIFTED HIM INTO A MILITARY PRESS...

"WONDERLAND WHIP COMING RIGHT UP!" Church called.

...

...Wolfgang managed to slip out of it and land behind Senji! The Crow turned around and got a kick to the gut, placed between the legs, and lifted for the Bully Bomb (Powerbomb into Piledriver)...

...

...and Senji actually escaped out of it and landed in front of Wolfgang! Senji quickly hooked the arms...

...

...AND PLANTED HIM WITH THE CROW CLAW!

"CROW CLAW! CROW CLAW CONNECTS FULL-ON!" Church exclaimed.

"NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! ANYTHING BUT THIS! ANYTHING BUT THIS!" Sarge begged.

Senji wasted no time in picking Wolfgang up after that, and lifted him into an Argentine Rack on his shoulders...

...

...

...AND PLANTED HIM WITH THE INVISIBLE BLACK!

"AND THE INVISIBLE BLACK TO CAP IT ALL OFF!" Church said.

"Nooooooooooo...my DREAMS..." Sarge weeped. "...Wolfgang..."

Senji turned Wolfgang over and hooks the leg!

"You Just Got Sarge'd...woe is the Reds..." Sarge groaned.

("In The End" by Fade)

"Here is your winner...Senji Kiyomasa!"

The crowd cheered as Senji sat up with a grin on his face, having clearly enjoyed that match-up and fight. He stood up and the ref raised his hand in victory, and then The Crow cricked his neck, saying to himself "Heh...now THAT was a good warm-up. EXACTLY what I needed." Senji then smirked and exited the ring, but then looked at the camera and said "But it's gonna be anything BUT a warm-up with you, Tennyson." Senji chuckled before going up the ramp as Wolfgang regained his bearings in the ring.

"And SENJI takes the victory, gaining some serious momentum as he heads into his Hardcore Title Match with Ben! And you can be-" Church said.

"WHO CARES?! The BIGGER story is the TRAVESTY that has occurred thanks to the G-Man! And Wolfgang is about to MURDER a mysterious entity for it!" Sarge exclaimed.

Indeed, when Wolfgang finally came to...he was glaring DAGGES at G-Man who still stood at ringside, simply adjusting his tie as he stared impassively at the Bully. Wolfgang had about freakin' ENOUGH with these mind games, and now they were screwing with his MATCHES...he was about ready to SNAP... Wolfgang, slowly stood up to his feet...a menacing aura about him as he slowly inched towards the side of the ring the G-Man was at...

...

...

...AND HE WAS SUDDENLY TURNED AROUND AND QUICKLY PLANTED WITH THE RESONANCE CASCADE BY GORDON FREEMAN!

"FUDGEBUCKETS! GORDON FREEMAN?! YOU BASTARD, HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO WOLFGANG, WHAT DID HE DO ASIDE FROM MENTALLY HURTING A FEW DOZEN KIDS?!" Sarge questioned.

"WHERE THE HELL DID GORDON COME FROM?! HE JUST DROPPED WOLFGANG WITH THE RESONANCE CASCADE OUT OF NOWHERE! SHIT!" Church exclaimed.

Wolfgang was laid out on the canvas as Gordon stood over him, looking at him silently before turning to G-Man at ringside...who simply nodded in return. It was then that Gordon dragged a lidded trash can that he had pulled into the ring before planting Wolfgang to the center of the ring. He then took off the lid...

...

...

...

...AND THE TRASH CAN WAS FILLED WITH ANTLION GRUBS, THE LARVAE MOVING AROUND ALL INSIDE THE CAN!

"...I think...I think I'm gonna be SICK... Gordon's fucked up..." Sarge said.

"Son of a BITCH...those are Antlion Grubs...you don't think he...?! ...Shit, he IS!" Church realized.

Gordon stared at the contents of the can for a bit before he turned to Wolfgang and dragged him up to his feet! He then lifted him onto his shoulder...walked over to the can...

...

...

...and Wolfgang came to in time to see what he was staring at in the can AND PROMPTLY FREAKED THE EFF OUT! Wolfgang wasted no time in squirming out of Gordon's grip and down to the mat, and ran out of the ring and backed up the ramp as fast as he could!

"And Wolfgang SAVES HIS OWN ASS! He knew what he was staring at and got the hell out of dodge...but the damage may have been DONE..." Church said.

Wolfgang fell onto his backside on the stage, and stared in shock at Gordon Freeman who stared a hole in him from inside the ring, with the G-Man beside him, who had entered the ring and now stood beside his client. Gordon pulled out his legendary crowbar, and pointed it at Wolfgang as the crowd cheered, and "My World" by Transmissions played. And The Bully?

...The Bully was pulling at his own hair, practically seething with pure frustration and being freaked out, the mind games WEARING at his mind immensely.

"...Wolfgang escapes another day...but the One Free Man is NOT done with The Bully, and Wolfgang may have bitten off more than he can chew here." Church said.

"Damn you, Gordon and G-Man...why do you have to be...YOU? DAMMIT! WOLFGANG, BEAT THEM! I DON"T KNOW HOW, BUT DO IT!" Sarge exclaimed.


A legendary rivalry that has spanned nearly two decades...

Red and Blue are shown first fighting in 1996 as rookies, then it goes to their Final Clash 2000 match, then Royal Reckoning 2003, then Final Clash 2006, and to the present.

"RED VS BLUE MAY BE UCA'S GREATEST RIVALRY!" Church shouted.

One that has consumed both men with hate, rage, and anger...

Clips of their massive brawl on the show after Last Stand, fighting each in and out of the ring, with security trying to hold them back, and Red's suicide dive on Blue and security.

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THIS IS COMPLTE CHAOS! RED AND BLUE CANNOT BE CONTAINED!" Church exclaimed.

One is a man who has been torn inside by the failures against his rival...

Blue is shown nailing a Champion's Blast on Sly, a Diving Clothesline on Shadow, and a Shell Shock DDT on Red, but is then being shown pinned by Red once again and left laying with that weighing on him.

"I HATE YOU RED! NO! I LOATHE YOU, YOU BASTARD, WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!" Blue shouted.

The other a man who can no longer take the hell and pains his rival has put him through...

Red is shown nailing a Superkick on Mario, a Journey Through Kanto on Crash, and a Poke-Flow on Blue, but is then shown getting nailed in the back by Blue with a steel grating, and getting attacked at Reckoning.

"I HAVE COME TO HATE HIM AS MUCH AS HE HATES ME! I HATE HIM AND EVERYTHING HE STANDS FOR! I LOATHE HIM FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE TO ME!" Red exclaimed.

And now, for them, in three weeks, it all comes to an end inside...

...Hell...in a Cell.

The infamous Cell is shown hanging from the ceiling of a stadium as ominous music plays, and quick clips of past Hell in a Cell Matches are shown...until "Save Me" by Stereo Black plays over the rest of the promo.

At Final Clash, it is the end of an era...

Red and Blue are shown continuing to fight, and Blue breaking Red's neck off a car in 2005, Red Powerbombing Blue's sister, April Oak, through a table, and the two double Clotheslining each other all while shots of the Cell are between it all.

"ONLY BEATING RED CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING! AND UNTIL I DO, I WILL MAKE HIS LIFE HELL!" Blue shouted.

...as one of Fiction Wrestling's greatest feuds ever comes to a climatic close!

Red and Blue are shouting obscenities at each other, Blue driving Gary's car into Red's house, Red burning Blue in Professor Oak's lab, and the two pounding away at each other furiously, while shots of people being thrown into the cell, and even off the Cell are also shown.

"At Final Clash...one thing WILL be for certain...me and Blue...WILL GO STRAIGHT...TO HELL!" Red proclaimed.

And neither man will walk out of Hell the same ever again.

Red nails Blue with a steel chair to the skull, Blue Spears Red through a table, Red Powerbombing Blue over the ropes to the floor, Blue launched Red like a lawn dart into a steel post, and the two exchanging blows...

...until it stops on Red and Blue staring at each other in the ring with hatred in their eyes, and then fading into a shot of the Cell from the ceiling. It then went to a Final Clash match graphic of the match.

Witness the end of an era at Final Clash in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas! Live on Pay-Per-View! Starting at 7/6 Central Time!


The camera finally went back to the ring, panning over to the fans that had clearly enjoyed themselves on this night cheering loudly at being on camera, and it went to Sarge and Church at ringside.

"It has been a HELL of a night here, Sarge. It truly has been, something to be expected as we are on the Path to Final Clash!" Church said.

"It certainly has been, dirtbag, and it'll be only better when more of the Blues lose as the Path continues! Because the only good Blue is a losing Blue...aside from a dead Blue of course." Sarge said.

"But you know...one thing plagues my mind still...WHERE THE GODDAMN HELL IS FREAKIN' MARI-"

"HELLO-A SINNOH!"

"...Well ask, and I will recieve it seems." Church deadpanned.

"SHUT UP, DIRTBAG! MARIO'S HERE! BOW!" Sarge demanded.

The crowd's cheering immediately turned into NUCLEAR HEAT...as Mario walked out onto the stage, World Title around his shoulder and his FWAs in hand with a shit-eating grin on his face. Luigi was right beside him with a grin, clapping his hands, while Toad and Yoshi pushed the casket that housed Platinum onto the stage as well. Mario just smirked at the boos raining down on him and continued.

"Aaahhh, it's so good to be back here. It really is... The tour was nice, and it was pretty enjoyable...but my enjoyment of it was a bit hampered by the fact that Sinnoh is a true blue DUMP. Seriously, who actually REMEMBER this place?!"

The crowd's booing got even LOUDER if that was even possible, but Mario couldn't give a damn as he was having the time of his life.

"In any case, we're here, and we have much to do. So let's get into the ring, Mushroom Kingdom...make sure that our "guide" is comfortable where you set her, alright?"

Mario then made his way down the ramp with the Kingdom, the casket being pushed down the ramp along the way and when they reached the ring, Toad and Yoshi positioned the casket so that it was horizontal and next to the ring, and the Kingdom entered the ring right after, standing in the middle of it, Mario just with the douchiest smile he could have.

"...What...a...DICK." Church deadpanned.

"QUIET! The Greatest Champion Ever is talking." Sarge hushed Church.

"Now that we have that out of the way...thank you for the warm welcome, everybody." Mario said, clearly messing with the crowd, who just hated on Mario. "You know...this has been a pretty fun evening for me. It REALLY has...WHY? Simple...because of how I've led poor little Matty Baby all over this godforsaken rock like a blind little sheep, and he followed without think of anything else, never with a hope of catching me at all. Me...always one step ahead. It truly was a RIOT...but it was also indicative of one thing... That Matt's Resurrection doesn't MATTER in MY reality."

The crowd chanted "ASSHOOOOLLLLEEEE! ASSHOOOOLLLLEEEE!" as Mario continued. "That's what I've ALWAYS been trying to tell him... Reality doesn't give a damn about him, he's not good enough to hang with the top dogs, and if he thinks otherwise, he will pay the price! It's SO OBVIOUS...yet he didn't get it. But now he does..after tonight, he sure as hell does." Mario pointed to the casket at ringside. "Inside that casket...is his lovely girl, Platinum Berlitz. The Poke-brat he got together with awhile after he came back...and it meant so many things. New happiness, new love, new friends...a NEW LIFE after his old one fell apart. That's what Platinum represents in truth...Matt's new little life, and his Resurrection from whatever hole he came from. And guess what?"

Mario smirked evilly. "It's in the F*CKIN' CAKSET! The damn GRAVE! Platinum is in that casket right now, and it shows that Matt's new little life is DEAD, and it never meant a DAMN THING! THAT'S the Resurrection's fate right there! That's where it's gonna end up at Final Clash! WHY?! Because Matt picked the WRONG FIGHT! He's living in MY WORLD, and in my world, Matty Baby is nothing more than a cockroach who got too big for his britches after crying himself to sleep! This whole night was designated for one thing...to show how HELPLESS he is when up against me, and that I ALWAYS have the power! And at Final Clash...the Greatest Champion Ever officially KILLS the Resurrection and reminds you all...who the REAL World Champion is around these parts."

The arena had never been louder with boos than it was at that point, and Mario chuckled. "And that leads me to NOW... I know Matt. He's followed us all the way here to get little Platinum back...and that's fine. Because THIS is where we put the exclamation point on this whole evening, and make it POIGNANT as to why I'M the World Champion and HE will NEVER BE! So come on out, Matt Baby...try and get your girl back...if you can..." Mario grinned as he dropped his mic and waited with the Kingdom.

"...The crowd's right...this guy is an ASSHOLE. MAJOR ASSHOLE. But Matt wants to get Platinum, and the numbers aren't in his favor. He can't go out there!" Church said.

"Yeah, well if he wants his girl, he WILL get out there! And he probably will because with how angry he is, he's just as stupid as Tai is with his leg!" Sarge stated when...

...

...

("Resurrected" by Peroxywhy?gen)

The crowd EXPLODED with a thunderous ovation, and the Kingdom just smirked to themselves as they just waited for the inevitable...

"WELP! TIME TO WATCH A MASSACRE! ENJOY THE SHOW BLUE!" Sarge exclaimed.

"This is NOT going to end well at all...Matt's got no ba-HOLY SHIT!" Church shouted.

...

...

...

...AS MATT LEAPED OVER THE BARRICADE FROM THE CROWD BEHIND THE KINGDOM, CHAIR IN HAND! HE SLID INTO THE RING AND SLAMMED THE CHAIR INTO TOAD'S BACK!

"MATTY BABY! MATTY BABY'S HERE AND HE GOT ONE OVER ON THE KINGDOM! THEY GOT TOO COCKY AND UNDERESTIMATED MATT!" Church said.

"WHAT?! NO FAIR, THAT'S CHEATING! YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THAT, THE KINGDOM IS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Toad fell down as the Kingdom turned around in surprise, and Matt jammed the chair into Yoshi's gut and slammed it into his back! Luigi tried to strike Matt but got a VICIOUS chair shot to the skulll! Matt was going WILD as the crowd loved this, and he DUCKED a title belt shot from Mario, and SLAMMED the chair into his chest, bringing him down! Matt began brining the chair down on Mario angrily...but only got three shots in until Toad grabbed his legs and pulled him down! Matt began slamming the chair into Toad to let him go, but that allowed Mario to slide out of the ring and hightail it out of there with his title and FWAs.

"Dammit, Mario slinks away before any real damage could be done! His damn Kingdom saved him!" Church said.

"RUN MARIO RUN! SAVE YOURSELF! REDKIND CAN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU!" Sarge exclaimed.

After six shots with the chair, Matt had gotten Toad to let go, but saw that Mario had gotten away and was watchng from the top of the ramp! With a deep scowl, Matt NAILED Yoshi in the shoulder with the chair, sending him out of the ring before turning to Toad! With pure anger in his eyes...he brought it down on Toad once...twice...three...four...five...six...seven...eight...HE WAS GOING TO TOWN ON TOAD WITH THE CHAIR! After the seventeeth shot, Toad was limp as hell and the chair was dented, but Matt threw it down, picked up Toad and set him up...

...

...

...ROCKER SMASH ON THE CHAIR!

"And there's the METAL version of the Rocker Smash! Toad pays the ultimate price and becomes a message sent to Mario!" Church said.

"DAMN YOU, MATT! THAT'S MARIO'S GREAT LACKEY! YOU DON'T TOUCH THE LACKEYS!" Sarge cursed.

Matt stood up and glared at Mario from inside the ring, who glared right back with just as much anger, before deciding to help his girlfriend. He went over to the casket, putting the upper half of his body through the ropes saying "Platinum, are you there? It's me, Matt. I'm...SORRY...for everything, but it's all over now" as he opened the casket...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...AS TOAD SAT UP OUT OF THE CASKET AND NAILED MATT FLUSH IN THE HEAD WITH A KENDO STICK!

"WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! TOAD?! BUT...HE WAS JUST... THERE'S NO WAY...WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS SHIT?!" Church exclaimed.

"...MY MIND HAS FINALLY SNAPPED CRUEL WORLD! CRUEEELLLL WORLD! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Sarge shouted.

The crowd GASPED in pure and utter shock as Matt backed away in his own shock and pain, holding his head! Toad quickly got out of the casket and into the ring AND NAILED MATT WITH THE LIFE SKILLS! Matt was down as Toad stood...and looked at the OTHER Toad...and said "Sorry, man... I owe you one." Toad then pounced on Matt and began pounding on him (many shots aggressive as he took his anger on certain issues out on Matt) as it began DAWNING on the crowd...

"...Wait...wait...AH SON OF A BITCH! THAT WAS A DIFFERENT TOAD! THEY USED A DIFFERENT TOAD TO STAND IN FOR THE TRUE ONE! SON OF A BITCH, THIS WAS A SET-UP!" Church said.

"GENIUS! PURE GENIUS! ONLY OUR GREAT MARIO COULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS! BRAVO, MARIO! BRAVO! YOU TRULY ARE THE GREATEST CHAMPION EVER!" Sarge shouted.

Eventually, Luigi and Yoshi slid back in the ring...and joined in the punching and stomping of Matt as he was left defenseless...all while Mario LAUGHED victoriously from up the ramp before making his way down the ramp with an arrogant stride. He then entered the ring as Matt got planted with a Green Lightning by Luigi, and grabbed the mic off the mat as he told the Kingdom to back off, letting Matt writhe on the ground, and Mario crouched on the ground.

"Well, well, well, Matty Baby...that didn't work out like you thought it would, did it?" Mario smirked as the crowd booed VICIOUSLY. "I'll give you credit, you took us by surprise there, didn't go the predictable route, and brought a weapon to the fight...but here's the thing...the Greatest Champion Ever is ALWAYS prepared. I knew you would try something, so I had Toad switch places with Platinum on the way here, and had another Toad take his place to fool you, so you would have a surprise waiting for you. Smart, isnt it?" Mario chuckled. "And look at you...writhing on the mat with NOTHING gained...oh, but don't worry, we made sure to take good care of Platinum! We really did!" Mario turned around...

...

...and Peach and Daisy were shown dragging Platinum down the ramp from the back! The Berlitz lady was crying TEARS as she shouted "MATT! MATT, NO!" from her position as the three were now right next to the ring and casket. Matt saw Platinum, and his anger grew as he tried to get up and Mario smirked.

"Heh...yep, we did a good job with her, didn't we Matt?" Mario turned to said rocker. "But here's the thing...this was never about HURTING her. Nothing was to be gained from actually harming her, not with you. No...what we did with her...was for one thing...to show you YOUR PLACE. That this fight is FUTILE...that no matter what you do, WE always WIN...just like tonight. No matter what you did...we were always one step ahead, and that's how it's always going to be. THIS is the reality I was talking about, and it took THIS to get it through your head. Such a shame indeed. Face it...your Resurrection is nothing more than a FARCE, and it won't mean a thing in the end. ...Just like your relationship with Platinum won't mean a thing after tonight, am I right?" Mario gave a douche grin...

...

...AND GOT A HEADBUTT TO THE FACE FROM A DEFIANT MATT ON ALL FOURS!

"And MATT STILL defiant even now! He won't take the crap from Mario as long as he's breathing!" Church said.

"Yeah, well he won't be breathing for LONG NOW! BREATHING IS NOT HIS RIGHT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Mario held his head and the Kingdom was about to attack Matt again...but MARIO held them at a bay with a hand gesture. Matt was slowly getting up to his feet, and Mario looked at his hand and said "Huh...not bad..."

...

...

...before KICKING MATT IN THE GUT, placing him between the legs, HOOKING THE ARMS...

...

...

...

...AND PEDIGREE TO MATT CONNECTS! PLATINUM SHOUTED "NO! DAMMIT, YOU HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING!"

"And PEDIGREE TO MATT! FULL-FLUSH! And that move was just INSULT to injury, considering Matt's history with TRIPLE H in WWE..." Church stated.

"I call it JUSTICE being dealt out...and Justice never felt so sweet." Sarge said.

Matt was limp in the ring as Mario began directing traffic in the ring with the Kingdom. Luigi and Yoshi nodded and they began rolling Matt over to the open casket and placed him inside it, the Destined laying inside it motionless as Mario grabbed the casket lid.

"At Final Clash, Matt Ishida...I SWEAR this on my life...

...

...

...

...

..."THE RESURRECTION DIES! AND THE GREATEST CHAMPION EVER...WILL LIVE FOREVER!"

Mario then SLAMMED the lid down, shutting the casket as hard as he could and putting the final down on his intention to KILL the Resurrection!

("Holy Diver" by Killswitch Engage)

The crowd's heat was practically NUCLEAR WINTER at this point, as the hatred was at peak level, and Mario just stood in the middle of the ring, the smarmy, cocky grin on his face as he raised his title and FWAs in the air and shouted "SUPER MARIO ALL THE WAY!" Luigi was dancing a little tune, celebrating himself, while Yoshi shouted "YOSHI!" in an almost roar-like way. Toad was just standing there, looking at the casket and then his fellow Toad in silence. Mario then told the Princesses at ringside to let "the baggage go" and the Princess dropped Platinum down to the ground hard, and the men exited the ring, and the Kingdom began their walk up the ramp. And Platinum slowly pushed herself off the mat and climbed up the casket, laying herself against it as she cried to herself, scarred beyond belief by this incident as Matt laid inside the casket.

"...Mario REALLY has no remorse for almost ANYTHING he does, does he? He REALLY doesn't...all he cares about is that World Title. And he showed...just how far he's willing to go to make a point for it and to keep it. Poor Matt...poor Platinum..." Church said.

"As Mario said, THIS is reality and this is his world! Matt wanted to play it and he paid the price! What else did you expect? Rainbows and butterflies? HAH! This is the Resurrection's fate, and Matt should accept it!" Sarge said.

"I don't think Matt will accept it...but on this night...the Kingdom wins...and things are TERRIBLE here in Sinnoh. No one's forgetting for a LONG time. Sorry to end on a downer, but that's ALL the time we have. I'm Leonard L. Church..." Church began.

"And I'm Sarge, Leader of the Reds!" Sarge stated.

"And we'll see you all next week on the Path to Final Clash..." Church finished.

"HAIL THE GREATEST CHAMPION EVER!" Sarge added.

The show ended with Platinum Berlitz standing against and crying over the casket Matt was placed in, all while the Mushroom Kingdom celebrated at the top of the ramp, Mario holding up his FWAs and World Title and shouting "GREATEST...CHAMPION...EEEEVVVEEEEERRRR!" with the smuggest grin ever as boos poured on him, the show's trademark appear on the bottom left hand corner before fading to black.
