A/N: Hello guys and gals! Let's do this!
Backstage
Jason Sabre and Brian Phillips are arguing until they notice something off camera. The camera pans over to show...Samuel Dark.
"Hello" Samuel smiles wickedly. "Are you ready to die, Sabre?"
"I don't know, are you ready to get pinned by The Ace?" Jason smirks. Samuel nods slightly, not in agreement, but in acknowledgement.
"We'll see, Ace" Samuel walks away.
Ring
Follow My Voice plays as the crowd cheers. The camera shows Ryan Tuff and Michael Zero.
"Hello everyone and welcome to SSW Forever! My name is Ryan Tuff and I am joined by 'Deathless' Michael Zero!" Tuff greets.
"Tonight we have a great match card. We have the semi-finals of the SU Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament, as The Beautiful Reality will take on The Misfits" Zero informs.
"We also will see The Horizon vs Ana Dracsu and Katrina Love! But the main event is what is exciting most fans, as The Ace of Pro Wrestling, Jason Sabre, takes on Samuel Dark for the SSW Championship!" Tuff smiles.
"As per the orders of Kenneth Angel, Samuel Dark must defend the SSW Championship until Winner Takes All. Jason Sabre is no slouch, so I expect Jason to be the man to beat Samuel Dark" Zero adds.
"Also- Wait a second, I'm getting word that a situation is happening backstage." Tuff panickingly informs.
Backstage
The camera man is running through the halls before stopping at a locker room, where The Darkest Souls are brawling with someone. Everyone begins to think it's Jay Hero, but Steven and Trevor walk into the shot.
They take TDS down by throwing them into some lockers. Mar walks into the shot with several inmates behind him.
"Test it on them" Mar smiles wildly. Trevor grabs the Metal Briefcase and opens it, pulling out the Mar's Laughing Shot. Trevor injects both Cast and Jacob Carry with it. As Trevor puts the shot away, The Darkest Souls start shaking. Suddenly they stand up, laughing and smiling. "Great!" Mar laughs. "It looks like we finally perfected it! Now then, I need you two to find me someone and bring them here, tonight" Mar informs before he looks into the camera. He chuckles before Steven looks at the camera. Steven walks over, angry, and places one hand on the lens, crushing it.
Ring
"This Mar fellow has a plan" Tuff mutters.
"No really, Ryan? I would've never figured that out" Zero mocks.
"Well, we should move on with the show. Jay Hero will reveal why he did what he did, next" Tuff informs.
Say Amen by Panic At The Disco plays as the crowd boos. Jay Hero walks onto the stage with a new look. He shaved his sides and back and has slicked back the top. He shaved his facial hair as well. He is wearing a Brendon Urie suit (White dress shirt, open blazer, black dress pants, and converses). Jay tugs on his left sleeve slightly before walking down to the ring. He gets on the apron and looks into the camera.
"Oh it's Saturday Night!" Jay lips to his theme with a big smile. Jay gets in the ring and grabs a mic.
"Ladies and-" The crowd's boos cut him off. Jay just looks around with a smirk. "Lad-" The crowd cuts him off yet again.
"Dark-est Souls! Dark-est Souls!" The crowd chants.
"Well, they are insane now, so they can't hear your pathetic chants" Jay mocks. "Ladies and Gentlemen, last week I turned on The Darkest Souls. Everyone wants to know why I turned on them, why I stabbed them in the back." Jay pulls out a black comb and slicks his hair back. "Simple, Evan Neal showed me my potential. I am not a dark soul, I'm a sinner." Jay soaks in all the boos. "I'm The Sinner! They were holding me down! I sinned and betrayed my brothers! I sinned and I am glad I did! It was the best career move I have ever made! I am the best wrestler in the world!" Jay now begins to get annoyed by the boos. "No further questions." Jay drops the mic as his theme plays. Jay leaves the ring and ignores the crowd.
"I still can't believe Jay turned on The Darkest Souls..." Tuff sighs.
"I can. Wrestling is a cut throat business. As a wrestler, you have to watch your own back before anyone else's." Zero replies.
"Well up next is a Semi-Final Match in the SU Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament! We will see The Beautiful Reality vs The Misfits!" Tuff exclaims.
Take A Hint plays as The Beautiful Reality walks onto the stage to boos. They get into the ring and immediately leave on the other side.
Alliance plays as the crowd again boos. The Misfits walk down to the ring, cocky as always. They get in the ring and smirk at TBR.
Kirsi Halonen leaves the ring as Alexandra gets on the apron. SJ Steele slides into the ring as the bell rings. Daria goes for a clothesline, but Steele dodges and Asher hits Daria with a slingshot spear.
Steele gets on the apron as Asher beats down on Daria. Asher tags in Steele and they pick up Daria. Asher lifts Daria into a fireman's carry as Steele stands beside her.
Asher does a cartwheel Fireman's Slam into a backstabber from Steele. Asher leaves the ring as Steele taunts. Steele picks Daria up and pushes her against the ropes over and over again.
Steele smacks Daria before taunting, not noticing Alexandra tag in. Daria suddenly head butts Steele, knocking her to the ground. Daria and Alexandra hit a Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex/Diving Clothesline combo and Alexandra covers Steele.
Asher tries to break the pin, but Kirsi holds her feet down, stopping her from getting in the ring. The bell rings as The Misfits leave the ring. Asher runs over to check on Steele, glaring at The Misfits.
The Misfits all hold up one finger. "One more, baby!" Kirsi exclaims.
"No matter what, the numbers game is too much with The Misfits. I don't care who you are, three on two is a problem." Tuff shakes his head.
"It's genius on the Misfits part. They realize that they have an advantage and they utilize it" Zero replies.
Backstage
Mar is sat in a room, Steven and Trevor on either side. Mar is playing checkers with Steven while Trevor is working on his research. The door to the room opens and The Darkest Souls drag a tied up Karin Jokela into the room.
"We've got her boss" Cast says in between laughs.
"Fantastic!" Mar laughs before looking her in the eyes. "Your hubby turned his back on me. I don't like traitors." Mar glares.
"I'm not afraid of you. I won't tell you were he is." Karin spits on Mar. Steven is about to attack, but Mar holds up a hand.
"Are you sure? I've heard I can be..." Mar reaches into his pocket, revealing a Switchblade, "...quite persuasive." Mar puts the blade against the corner of her mouth. "Let's put a smile on your face!" Mar breaks out laughing.
"Enough!" Mar looks over and sees Will Ralston in the doorway.
"Will! I had big plans for you! Why the fuck did you stab me in the back?" Mar points the knife at him.
"Because I'm loyal to The Resistance. You are nothing more than a Psychopath." Will calmly replies. "How about you and I fight tonight? Alan Riddle has reinstated me."
"Tonight?" Mar thinks for a second. "No, that won't work for me. How about next week...in a No Disqualifications Match?" Mar smiles sadistically.
"Only if you let her go" Will looks at Karin. Mar nods and The Darkest Souls let her go. Karin runs to Will and they hug.
"See you next week, Will." Mar walks past him, Trevor and Steven right behind.
Ring
The Light plays as Rachel Peterson walks onto the stage. She sternly looks at the cheering crowd before Unleashed plays to a pop.
Idrina The Bizarre runs onto the stage, excited as always. She hugs Rachel, who is only slightly annoyed by this.
"The Horizon is a tag team formed from friendship between The Bloody Queen Rachel Peterson and Idrina The Bizarre! It is truly a...bizarre tag team!" Tuff chuckles.
"End my misery." Zero groans.
The Horizon get to the end of the ramp before bumping fists. Idrina slides into the ring as Rachel gets on the apron, stepping in calmly. Idrina waves at the camera man as Rachel gets on the middle rope. Rachel screams to cheers before jumping off the middle rope. Idrina and Rachel wait for their opponents.
Miss Jackson plays as Katrina Love comes out on Crusher Rizzo's shoulder. Crusher sets her on the apron as she gloats. Suddenly, she is taken off the apron by a Rizzo Kick. The attacker is short and is wearing a black hoodie. They remove the hoodie to reveal...Ryen Valenteen!
Ryen leans on the top rope, looking at Crusher Rizzo. Ryen nods before Crusher suddenly locks the Crusher Crab in on Katrina Love.
"Katrina Love may have done many awful things, but she doesn't deserve this!" Tuff yells.
Crusher let's go once Love loses consciousness and follows Valenteen to the back. Ana Dracsu runs out to check on her partner, as do medics. Medics help Love to the back as Ana simply shrugs.
Ana slides in the ring and the bell rings. Ana and Idrina lock up and Ana gets the advantage. Ana immediately rolls Idrina up, but Idrina kicks out instantly. Idrina hits an Enzuigiri, followed by an Inverted DDT.
Idrina covers, but Ana kicks out at two. Idrina is about to get up, but Ana quickly locks in the Vampire's Bite. Idrina struggles as Rachel tries to break it, but the ref won't let her.
Idrina is about to fade when she gets a burst of energy! Idrina uses this energy to make it to the ropes, breaking the submission. Ana quickly scoots away, lining up for the Shuri Knee Strike, but Idrina dodges and hits an overhead kick.
Idrina starts crawling towards Rachel and manages to tag her in. Idrina climbs the turnbuckle and hits Flying Bizarrness(Frog Splash with theatrics), followed by Burn In Hell (Diving 360° Double Foot Stomp) by Rachel. They both cover and Ana Dracsu can't kick out.
The bell rings as Idrina begins to dance. Rachel raises an arm and smirks slightly.
Alliance plays to boos as The Misfits walk onto the stage. "Ladies ladies ladies" Alexandra gets their attention, "good job tonight. No seriously, great job!" Alexandra smirks. "You've had a bye and you beat one person, that takes real skill." Alexandra mocks.
"But next week, you will fall to us, just like everyone else!" Kirsi screams. "You are merely two people who decided to team together, we are family." Kirsi smirks as they drop their mics and leave, Rachel flipping them off while Idrina glares.
Backstage
Jay Hero is standing in a mirror, making sure he looks nice. He pulls out a comb and slicks his hair back.
"Jay! My man!" Evan Neal calls out as Jay smirks.
"Evan, how are you?" Jay smiles and shakes Evan's hand.
"Even better now that you cut the dead weight!" Evan exclaims. "Now, I think it's time that I show SSW Forever who they are messing with. Kenneth may be a good leader, but he doesn't have the numbers I have. Tonight, after the show, I will attack Alan Riddle himself and show him who's in charge" Evan informs.
"Alright. Devan and I will watch your back. I'm sure the Freelancers would, but they are going to be a little preoccupied with Felix Sammet and Mason Strong." Jay replies.
"That is none of my concern. See you after the show" Evan walks off.
Ring
Devious plays as The Freelancers stand in the center of the ring with the SSW Forever Tag Team Championships. Edward is about to say something when Kaze ni Nare plays.
Furī Za Faiā (Japanese for Free The Fire) walks out. Mason Strong and Felix Sammet both have mics. "Let me guess: NJPW sucks. MMA sucks. This is the big time and we are the big deal. Did I miss anything?" Mason says to The Freelancers.
"You missed 'You will never beat us'" Sammet replies. "Because The Freelancers are better than any team in the entire-" Sammet pretends to fall asleep.
"Shit dude, were you watching a Freelancers match?" Mason 'wakes up' Sammet.
"I think so. All I remember is something so boring that I couldn't remain conscious. More boring than The Wayne Bros *Fans Boo*, The Kings of a New Age *Fans Boo*, and The Lopez's *Boos* combined!" Sammet groans. "Freelancers, you may have been considered the best team in the WFA for a long time, but that is the past. Furi Za Faia is the future." Sammet glares.
"You have held tag titles. Let us tell you what we've done...separately mind you." Mason Strong looks towards the ceiling. "I am a 1 time UFC Heavyweight Champion, a 2 time Impact Grand Champion, and a 1 time IWGP Heavyweight Champion." Mason smirks.
"I am a 1 time IWGP Intercontinental Champion" Sammet lists.
"What?" Mason mocks the crowd.
"A 1 time NEVER Openweight Champion"
"What?"
"A 1 time British Heavyweight Champion"
"What?"
"A 1 time Defiant Champion"
"What?"
"A 1 time CZW World Heavyweight Champion"
"What?"
"And a 1 time ROH World Television Champion"
"Wowza! That officially makes us more accomplished than these two nobodies who are attached at the hip!" Strong says as he and Sammet get on the apron.
"Which means that we don't have to rely on each other to win matches." Sammet mutters.
"Which means that even if you take one of us out, we aren't in trouble. We will out wrestle, over power, and straight up dominate you tag team failures." Strong says before him and Sammet drop their mics.
The Freelancers go for an attack, but Furi Za Faia jump off the apron and calmly walk to the back, ignoring The Freelancers screaming curses at them.
"The Origin have got future tag team champions" Zero smirks.
"If they can beat The Freelancers." Tuff adds.
"Anyways, it's time for our Main Event: Samuel Dark defends the SSW Championship against Jason Sabre!" Zero yells.
Weight Of My Pride plays to boos as Jason Sabre walks onto the stage. He walks down to the ring as he ignores fans and even tears up a Kid's sign. He slides into the ring and waits.
Vermillion (Terry Date Version) plays as Samuel Dark walks onto the stage to a mixed reaction. He has the SSW Championship on his shoulder. He has his long hood up so that no one can see his face, instead seeing the Dark Child logo.
Samuel gets in the ring and stands in front of Sabre. Samuel removes his hood and laughs wildly in Sabre's face as he holds up the SSW Championship.
Samuel hands the title to the ref. The bell is about to ring when Imaginary Monster plays to a pop.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen!" Alan Riddle rushes onto the stage.
"Kenneth Angel is forcing you to defend every week until Winner Takes All, Samuel, but that doesn't mean that you have no advantages. As the General Manager of SSW Forever, I declare that all your weekly defenses matches, no matter how many opponents Kenneth chooses, will be..." Alan waits a few seconds as the crowd holds their breath. "…Death Matches!"
Samuel Dark gets a sadistic smile on his face as Jason Sabre turns pale. Samuel suddenly tackles Sabre and grabs him by the hair, slamming the back of his head into the canvas. Samuel suddenly picks Sabre up and tosses him out of the ring.
Samuel quickly bounces off the ropes and hits a beautiful Tope Con Hilo. Samuel immediately gets on his feet and rolls Sabre back into the ring. Samuel slides in himself and, with surprising strength, throws Jason Sabre over the corner.
Samuel bounces off the opposite corner and hits his patented, albeit rarely used, over the turnbuckle Tope Con Hilo. Samuel screams in joy as the crowd cheers. Suddenly, The Original Deal attack Samuel as Brian Phillips reluctantly helps Sabre up. The Origin beats down on Samuel before a portion of the crowd cheers.
The camera cuts over to that section, where PRIDE Champion, The Wanderer Zane Walker is rushing through the crowd, Vlad and Drag not far behind. They jump the barricade and start brawling with Phillips and The Original Deal. Sabre reaches under the ring and grabs a steel chair.
He goes for a headshot on Samuel, but when he brings the chair up, he gets the Black Poison Mist to the eyes. Sabre screams in pain as Samuel smiles, his teeth now black.
Samuel picks the chair up and smacks it against Sabre's back. On the other side of the ring, Phillips has Clotheslined the PRIDE Champion over the barricade.
Phillips reaches under the ring and grabs three kendo sticks. He tosses two of them to Dunkan and Negro and they unleash on Vlad and Drag. Samuel, noticing The Darkness in danger, slides into the ring and hits a suicide dive on Phillips.
Samuel helps Vlad and Drag fight off The Original Deal before Sabre takes them all out with a Sasuke Special. Sabre grabs one of the kendo sticks and unleashes on Samuel, smacking him in the back until welts appear.
Sabre helps The Origin up before they grab two tables from under the ring. They set them up in front of the ramp and grab Vlad and Drag. Dunkan and Negro lift Vlad into a double powerbomb, as do Sabre and Phillips to Drag.
They powerbomb the two giants through the tables, effectively eliminating them from the match. They turn and notice Samuel Dark inside the ring, trying to stand up after that brutal kendo stick assault. The Origin surround the ring, stalking Samuel like he is a tasty prey.
"Samuel may be the most dominant champion in Forever history, but that is still four on one. Sorry Samuel, your time as champion is coming to an end." Zero informs.
Samuel stands up weakly and glares at them. "Let's go boys! I will take you all at once!" The ever defiant Samuel Dark screams, ready to fight. The Origin slowly climb the apron before staring at each other. Right as they step through the ropes, the lights go out. When they return, a big man in a gas mask stands next to Samuel with a black sac in his hands.
"Is that..?" Tuff mutters.
The man removes the mask to reveal...DRACO! Draco opens the bag and tosses Samuel's hammer to him while he takes out a barbed wire baseball bat.
They fight off The Origin thanks to their weapons. Samuel looks at Draco in shock as Draco simply smiles.
"You...you're alive?" Samuel looks up at him.
"Through hellfire and brimstone, Lord Samuel, I will serve you." Draco replies calmly before noticing The Original Deal getting up outside the ring. Draco hands Samuel his barbed wire bat and does a suicide dive to take them out. Samuel smirks before Jason Sabre hits him in the back of the head with a steel chair, shushing everyone.
Samuel's eyes go wide before he falls down to his knees. Sabre drops the chair and picks up Samuel's hammer.
"My turn." Sabre glares before hitting Samuel across the jaw with his own hammer, cutting Samuel's mouth open. Draco glares and attempts to save Samuel, but Furi Za Faia come out of nowhere and attack him. Strong and Sammet help The Original Deal and Phillips up and they all get into the ring.
The Original Deal hits the Deal-Breaker on Samuel as the crowd boos. Phillips picks Samuel up and hits the Bitter End to more boos.
"I've never seen Samuel dominated like this..." Tuff mutters, shocked.
"He usually has the numbers advantage, but tonight, The Origin has it." Zero calmly replies.
Sabre picks Samuel up by the chin and smirks. "I'm the Ace of Pro Wrestling, you voodoo freak!" Sabre yells in his face. Suddenly, Samuel's black and white eyes turn purple for a quick second before returning to black and white. Samuel suddenly head butts Sabre, breaking his nose.
Dunkan grabs Samuel, but Samuel head butts Dunkan and hits DIE! on him, sending him to the outside. Negro goes for Lanza Del Tiburon Negro, but runs right into a DIE! as well!
Strong and Sammet go to attack, but Vlad and Drag slide into the ring and hit double Cactus Clotheslines, knocking all four of them to the outside.
Sabre and Phillips stand face to face with Samuel and Zane Walker, who just rolled into the ring. Samuel and Sabre brawl as Phillips and Walker fight to the outside.
Samuel goes for another head butt, but Sabre catches him with the Hallow Point. Sabre gets in the corner and waits for Samuel to get up before hitting the Final Resolution!
Sabre is about to cover when he freezes. He suddenly grabs Samuel and lays him in front of the corner. Sabre climbs the turnbuckle and stands tall, breathing heavily. Sabre smiles at the camera with his cocky grin before hitting Uprising!
-on the ring mat. Sabre holds his sides as he looks for Samuel. He looks around and sees that none of The Darkness is even standing. He finally looks over and sees Samuel on the ground outside the ring. Standing by him, the man who pulled him out of harm's way, is Edgar!
Samuel looks up at his long time enemy in confusion before Edgar picks Samuel up and rolls him into the ring. Edgar hits a stiff forearm on Phillips as Samuel and Sabre look at Edgar in confusion. Edgar grabs a steel chair and slides into the ring.
Sabre runs at him and Edgar nearly takes his head off with the chair. Edgar looks at the still confused Samuel before holding Jason Sabre up, almost like a sacrifice.
Samuel hits DIE! on Sabre and covers him, successfully retaining his SSW Championship.
Vermillion plays as Draco hands Samuel Dark the SSW Championship as Edgar and Samuel stare at each other. Edgar, to the shock of everyone, raises Samuel's hand. The show ends with Samuel still confused.
After The Show
Evan Neal is walking through the halls with Devan and Jay behind him. Suddenly, Devan and Jay are pulled into two different rooms. Evan turns around, looking for his team, when he is suddenly knocked out.
When he wakes up, he is being dragged into Alan Riddle's office by Mason Strong and Felix Sammet.
"Hey Evan." Alan stands up from his desk and circles around, leaning against it now. "How are you?"
"What...the fuck...happened?" Evan weakly asks.
"I'm what happened." Alan slaps Evan. "I'm tired of you acting like SSW is your playground. I know Jack Classic can handle you on United, but I'm gonna handle you here. All of the people in Forever that aren't working with you are very much against you." Alan glares and grabs Evan by the hair. "I'm going to show you that."
"Wh-what?" Evan replies with a deep breath.
"Boys" Alan looks at Strong and Sammet, "show him to our locker room." Alan smirks as Evan's eyes get wide.
"Wait no! Please Alan, maybe we can work something out!" Evan begs as Furi Za Faia drag him to the locker room.
Locker Room
As Evan gets closer, he hears someone talking inside, someone familiar. The door opens.
"-beaten until he begs for mercy!" Samuel laughs before looking over at Evan. Sammet and Strong throw him into the room. Evan tries running out, but Furi Za Faia slam the door shut and lock it.
"Please!" Evan screams, pounding on the door.
"I love how you act so big and bad until your life is threatened." Samuel smiles as Vlad and Drag grab Evan and put him on his knees in front of Samuel. "Now, can you tell me why you think you are invincible? I ask because I'm so fucking tired of your shit." Samuel glares before looking at the rest of the locker room. He holds up three fingers. "Give me three strikes, then you all can have him." Samuel smiles and twirls his hammer. He hits Evan over the head with his hammer. He then hits Evan in the spine with the hammer. Finally, he hits Evan in the head once again before Vlad and Drag let Evan go. "Have at him!" Samuel leads the Darkness out.
"Wait..." Evan mutters as he notices Jason Perkins and Trance in the corner. "If you all hurt me, Kenneth will have your jobs! Tell them, Perkins! Trance!" Evan smirks.
Perkins calmly pulls up his walkie talkie. "Mr. Angel, Evan Neal is here. He is being held violently hostage by the SSW Forever locker room. Should we save him? You are on speaker, so everyone can hear you." Perkins says into the Talkie, never taking his eyes off Neal.
"…No." Kenneth replies through the Walkie Talkie as Evan Neal gasps. "He has outlived his usefulness. Unfortunately, so has Victor Constantine, but I hope to keep that friendship. My plan no longer requires those two, only Richard Ryder. Leave him to rot." Kenneth coldly commands before Perkins and Trance leave.
"Ryder will have all your heads! He likes me more than you nobodies! I am worth ten Kenneth's! I will-"
"Shut up." Heathen low blows Evan. "That's for Mason." Heathen glares before the entire roster starts attacking Evan.
Twenty Minutes Later
Evan is sitting against a wall, bloody, beaten, and broken. He sees a shadow fall over him. Evan looks up to see...Mar.
"Hello Evan." Mar reveals the Laughing Shot. "Either you take this or Kenneth Angel, Richard Ryder, and Victor Constantine take it." Mar smirks.
"I won't sell out- Wait. I won't sell Constantine and Ryder out, but what about Kenneth?" Evan smiles.
"I'm listening." Mar sits in front of Evan.
