*Greetings, And Welcome To The Tribute Show To Northern Carnage Wrestling. What's NCW You Ask? It Was A Fictional Wrestling Promotion That Got Me To Join All The Way Back In 2012. Its Part Of The Fiction Wrestling Multiverse, A Collection Of Wrestling Fan Authors. NCW Was But One Of Many Promotions That Featured Fictional Or Original Characters In A Crossover Set In The Squared Ring. While NCW Had A Fruitful Run, I Grew Tired And Wanted To Start With Something Completely Fresh. But There Were Some Loose Ends I Wished To Tie Up Before Continuing.

Sweet Diva (Sakura Hagiwara & Elena Miyazawa) vs. Ellen Ripley & Rika Nonaka vs. Miyazaki Maidens (Nausicaa & San) vs. Team Whiteout (Velvet & Lillian House)

*This Event Has Been Modified From Its Original Version. It Has Been Formatted To Fit Your Reading Consciousness*
We merely fade from black into the NCW Arena that is brightly lit, showing off the packed house of 5,000 (which may be a liability) inside the historic venue. The powerful chant of, "NC DUB! NC DUB! NC DUB! NC DUB!" Rings throughout the building, one of the last nights you may get to hear such a chant. The fans held signs we had seen prior in NCW showings, from the very first to the very last Electric & Prime. Including the "F*** THE HOUSES" banner from WWII.
The camera fades and fixes upon the squared circle under the scoreboard. The ring is plain, simple, effective. Black aprons & posts, black ropes, baby blue ring canvas without a logo in sight. Barricades consist a thin line of steel bars around the ring and up the narrow aisle. There is no stage, merely a walkway from the back as a means to pack as many people into the arena as possible. Standing dead center in the ring is Holo, in a white dress that contrasts starkly with the ring colors.
"Good evening Johnstown and for one final night welcome to the NCW Arena!" Holo announces to the sold out crowd who belt out cheers.
"Wonderful, wonderful enthusiasm like always. Its what every soul in that locker room this eve want. Northern Carnage Wrestling came to an abrupt closure in May of this year….but we were not going to leave the legend of this brief of powerful time go without recognition. Tonight's event is a celebration of the 6 years of NCW. The 6 years of blood from each individual's heart that's been spilled in the ring for your entertainment! We want to give both you and us the biggest send-off we possibly can. Tonight there is no pen booking for the biggest paycheck. That's not what NCW stood for. That locker room tonight is going to try their hardest to give you a tour de force of what made this place so extraordinary. None of us are making a shilling off this event, This Is Purely For You!"
"Without further delay, please give a warm welcome for your commentary team this evening."
"HUR…ah?" the audience's excitement temporarily stems.
"This Is Extreme" by Harry Slash and the Slashtones pierces through the mutters of the fans, who soon give support. The point of view fades to the entryway as from the narrow slit between the extra bleachers emerges a silhouette whose features became clear as they near the camera.
"Please welcome first, the Voice of The Extreme, Joey Styles!" Holo declares to the Johnstown Faithful.
Joey, with format papers folded in one hand, gives a few waves before quickening his trek down to the ring. We can see that the broadcast table for this special night is rubbing into the ring skirt on the east side (according to the hard camera). The iconic anthem of ECW subsides rather quickly, soon to be taken over by another track.
"Anime Abandon Theme" by George Sakalis screeches with speed through the amplifiers in the arena, a sound that fans are not too familiar with compared to the nostalgic song from moments before. The outline of the incoming commentator receiving a mildly pro response is seen in the entryway.
"Joining Joey Tonight, Bennett The Sage!" Holo announces, adding bit of extra power to the line delivery to try and pump the audience up for Sage. Sage gives a lone wave to a cluster of fans far above the floor seaters before making his way down the aisle and to the table where Joey awaits.
"Waiting For The Point" by Rob Scallon & Doug Walker is heard, a riffing tune that amuses none in the audience. Boos rain down upon the floor of the NCW Arena, ones just reaching of the edge of heel heat to "go away" heat. At the edge of the aisle one can make out the sight of the bald Critic, dressed with a leather jacket with a megaphone in hand. The symbols of hammers crossing for a hashtag only draw out the rage for the purposely offending parody to the original song.

Critic throws off the leather trench coat, fingers plugging ears and ignoring the ire of the audience he has drawn up.
"CHANGE THE CHANNEL! CHANGE THE CHANNEL! CHANGE THE CHANNEL!" Are the chants targeted down at Critic, who makes his way to the announcers table at ringside.
Tonight
One Last Hurrah
For The Land Of Carnage
*The Iconic Theme, "This Is Extreme" by Harry Slash and the Slashtones plays once more only now not muddled by the echo of the building. A plethora of highlights from the 6 years of NCW history flash before the viewers eyes (which Mercury is too lazy to bother writing, we apologize for this display of sheer laziness) in a chilling blue before gradually the highlights are shown in full color. Ultimatley the highlight packages zooms out, revealing hundreds to thousands of highlights in little patches standing together collectively. Each mini screen flashes white before all going blue to reveal the NCW logo. Cracks soon form in the façade and the logo falls to oblivion revealing the pay-per-views title, with a barely visible outline in the distance reading "hsw" above The Show Must Go On*
(Static Transition)
When we zap back to the live feed, we are fixed upon the commentating trio who stand behind their table with backs to the ring.
"You look…STUPID…" Joey describes, having a look of disappointed suprise when seeing Critic for the first time.
"Actually its called BRILLIANCE! COMEDIC BRILLIANCE!" Critic explodes in a irritating laugh.
"Its like you raided a Hot Topic and running around with one of those triangles in space not knowing the album it comes from." Bennett states with deadpan in his voice.
"…Please ignore the Critic, but stay for tonights matches. We're heading right to the ring now for your first match of the night! Take it away Holo."
Sokka vs. Naruto Uzumaki
"Your opening contest for The Show Must Go On is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit, your referee in charge Mike Attitude!" Holo announces.
The opening number to Alice in Chains "Man In Box" hits the audio system of the venue, being received with what will be for the sure the first of many pops this night. Fog filled the narrow corridor connecting backstage to the arena, being illuminated by blue and yellow lights. Emerging from the fog was the Heart & Soul of the slain company. Dressed in blue pants with grey boomerangs outlined in white on the side of both legs. Feet protected by shiny black boots. The southern warrior paint only brought out for the utmost of important matches masked the face of Sokka, who as back to his old self and far from the days of the Three Rivers Syndicate.
"War Paint and all, the once Heart & Soul of NCW enters Johnstown for one final time in his career. His true colors shown tonight and they are blue & silver, not black and white." Joey states with warmth.
"Because of course what all people want halfway through a match, paint peeling from sweat and burning in the eyes!" Critic calls out.
He isn't rushing to the ring, taking his time to walk down the aisle. He is soaking in all the positive welcomes from the 4,000+ in attendance. This will be the last time he stands in front of the Johnstown Faithful, every second tonight matters to him. He generously shakes the hands of the fans who are up front at the barricades boxing in the ring, as chants of "SOUTHERN WARRIOR!" echo throughout the building.
"I'm completely surprised the crowds taken so kindly so quickly to him, as if all the harm he did with the RS has been washed away." Bennett states.
A purposeful trip up on the apron is given for comedic effect, as he partially leans back and says something to a particular crowd member about "slipyness" and "the 'Burgh", before sliding under the top rope and standing up in the ring.
"Well, not the wash on that apron apparently." Bennett adds.
He poses out to the crowd, but facing away from the hard camera, before Layne Staley's vocals fade into the garble of the crowd.
The bombastic pounding of "Tap Out" by Adam Gubman. A orange aura illuminates the narrow aisle as the crowd immediately breaks out into another wave of cheers. Black curtains that are almost entirely unnoticeable as seen fluttering open, a silhouette obstructs one of the lights. But quickly the facial features and clothing of the silhouette are revealed to the home audience, as The Orange Spark known as Naruto Uzumaki graces the city of Johnstown one final time.
"Although a great in the the realms of media & fic wrestling, for an outsider to see Naruto's name tied to NCW could still confuse some." Bennett states.
"He might not have fit this place like a glove, but he shined bright in the beginnings. He headlined the first WrestleWars, the event that put this place on the map. And tonight he once more faces the man he shared that headline with." Joey says.
"Naruto won as American Tribute, Sokka got him back at WrestleWars…I'm sure theres a bunch of house shows the producer failed to write for your meaningless format, Joey, but the point is these two will duke it out….wait, why's this at the bottom of the totem pole?" Critic asks.
"Sush up." Joey quips back.
Naruto marches down the aisle with a jovial step. He stops at the end of the aisle, scanning the entire arena with right hand over brow. He points with his left to the ring before sliding under the ropes and upon the center of the canvas. He pops up to his feet, psyching himself up for the audience and the oncoming match.
Naruto's head then softly turns to see his old adversary across the ring, a adversary who responds with a slight wave.
"Introducing first, from the Southern Water Tribe. Weighing in tonight at 212 lbs, He is a former NCW Hardcore Champion and three time World Heavyweight Champion. Ladies and Gentlemen this is the Southern Warrior, Sokka!" Holo announces.
"And his opponent. Hailing from the Konohagakure no Sato. Weighing in tonight at 227 lbs. He is a former NCW Internet Champion, a former holder of the Contract = Titles briefcase, and a former World Heavyweight Champion. Ladies and Gentlemen, This…Is Naruto Uzumaki!"
The bell sounds, the clock starts, the match has commenced. "And quick they are to tie up, horns of bulls!" Joey exclaims as a collar elbow tie up between the two commences, which exemplifies that Naruto has the strength advantage as Sokka finds himself digging in with his heels and trying to push by. He's successful getting a foot forward but soon buckles and quickly is being pushed back toward his corner before breaking away from the lock-up.
"Sokka wants more?" Bennett asks.
But Sokka faints rejoining the lock up and is swiftly standing behind Naruto, waist lock in place. The Orange Spark is able to pry a leg away and push off Sokka's pelvis. Sokka gives himself some distance, although that may be a mistake as Naruto uses that width to catch speed and plow into the Southern Warrior, trying to ram him back into the upper right corner of the ring. This too is averted by Sokka applying his brakes. He seems to stubble down to the canvas, but its no accident as he goes for the foot which triggers Naruto to jump back into the center of the ring. Sokka gets quick on his feet, ducking a dropping boot destined to crush a finger or entire hand. Sokka gets a quick kick off aimed at a kidney, as both have swapped positions.
"He kicks, he misses! Reposition time!" Critic quips as Sokka gains a clutch on Naruto's arm and goes to whip him down not the bottom left corner. But Naruto holds fast when reaching the center and whips Sokka into the lower right turnbuckles. This time he smashes Sokka with a partial body avalanche in the corner, before suplexing him back into the center of the ring with a releasing german.
"Beautiful German Suplex, Naruto demonstrates his strength that at the moment is keeping Sokka out of it!" Joey exclaims over the applause upon impact.
As Sokka tries to get back up, he is smothered into the canvas momentarily with a one handed bulldog. Naruto had continued to run on and purposefully hung himself up into the opposing turnbuckle, taking time to really look around the venue and take pride in the night thus far.
"NAR-U-TO! NAR-U-TO! NAR-U-TO!" Echo the chants!
"The loudest this place ever got for the little devil." Critic jibes.
"Devil? I'd least go with fox." Bennett returns with.
"Doesn't it matter, You Oldtaku!" Critic exclaims.
"What matters is Sokka's going for a retreat!" Joey points out.
Sokka tried to make a retreat, but Naruto was quick to catch him in his grasps and wanting to throw him around with another suplex. But this time Sokka dug his feet, was not budging this time. A few quick shots of the elbow soften Naruto's head up. Sokka uses his leg to pry Naruto away, but drops to the canvas briefly when nothing holds him back once free. Both are at a stand precisely at the same instant, but Sokka firs off a fierce knife-edge chop that echoes to the very edges of the walls. Sokka belts out a second, slightly less aggressive chop, but has Naruto beginning a retreat to a corner with a third. Sokka closes the distance and throws a elbow club at the ninja's head, and tries to whip him clean out of the ring. Naruto teeters, but no tip out. He charges back toward Sokka who swerves aside, cutting Naruto down at the ankle by lunging to execute a drop toe hold with a jaw-first landing.
"That'll downgrade that smile of yours." Bennett quips, aimed straight to the Orange Spark.
"And Sokka now going for the leg, figure four possibly?" Joey asks as Sokka clasped upon Naruto's left leg, trying to get it into some sort of ankle lock which is partially cinched, but no enough to cause any real harm. Sokka soon was being dragged by Naruto, who was in pursuit of the nearest rope. Sokka tries adding more and more pressure, but instead kisses the bottom of Naruto's right boot in a successful bid to break free.
"Not enough, not enough grip." Joey states.
"Its like Sokka's playing with I Am Bread controls!" Critic exclaims.
"..WHAT!?" Joey shouts in complete confusion to what his colleague said.
Naruto is taking a breather, as Sokka retreats to the other end of the ring as a momentary cease fire occurs in the ring. Naruto goes after Sokka, wanting to drop him to the mat by sheer power but Sokka is willing to use Naruto's strength against him, grabbing Naruto's left arm and letting his rush take him down to the mat.
"Niiiice reversal of that momentum, channeling it into something positIVE!" Joey exclaims, voice spiking as The Southern Warrior stabs his knee into the spinal column of Naruto, trying to hyperextend the arm away from the shoulder at a right angle. Naruto keeps turning left, forcing Sokka to continually try and reposition to the right. This endless circling ensures the lock cannot full be applied but doesn't take away from the discomfort.
"Ring-a-round-the-PAIN-and-AGONY!" Critic comedically sings, grunting the words of discomfort.
Sokka sees futileness in the lock and gives up. Hoping to one more work upon the leg, but Naruto pushes Sokka back into the corner with the free foot he got. Sokka rushes with knee held high, catching the Orange Spark square at the bridge of the nose. The match seem to have had its speed toned down as the Southern Warrior is taking the time to stomp on the underside of both of Naruto's knees, with one final dropping knee to the groin and stomach. Sokka gives "YAAAAAAH!" at overly comedic effect, dropping down leg first upon Naruto's left knee.
"Okay their X-Pac." Bennett deadpans.
"Sokka is gonna agitate that weaken ankle again!" Joey points out.
Soon Sokka has his hands wrapped around the ankle, pulling Naruto's right leg further and further back and away from his body. Naruto audibly was feeling the full brunt of the pain courtesy of the hold. He tries rolling around, hoping to cast Sokka off by doing so but with no luck.
Sokka gets to a knee, now having more leverage upon the ankle, starting to behind the leg upwards and in directions it's not meant to go.
"The Ankle Is Sokka's Key To Victory! Or At Least…He Thinks…" Joey declares, but hits tone takes note of Naruto starting to grasp toward the rope, being able to inch toward the rope set closest to the hard camera, pulling away from the center and to the southwest corner. He's first attempts fail, but Naruto eventually makes a lunge to the ropes and achieves the ropebreak count.

Sokka releases with a emphatic drilling of the knee down into the canvas before taking a pace back. Naruto has a slight struggle to his feet, but isn't able to fully stand as Sokka grabs and raises the right foot and leg high the air, giving a fierce tug that yanks Naruto off his feet and back into the center of the ring.
"5 Minutes Have Elapsed, 15 Remain." Holo announces.
Sokka drops his elbow down upon the back of Naruto's neck, and tries to reconfigure him into a arm trap crossface, but Naruto uses his freed left leg to push off in a roll on top of Sokka.
1…
…
"The Bastard Got Him Surprised!" Critic exclaims.
…
…
2…
…
Sokka had his shoulders pinned down, and has to think fast to get a shoulder up, trying to roll Naruto back down onto the canvas. Sokka achieves a tactical victory in this field, now rolling back on top of Naruto. Now he's grappling to keep the Orange Spark down who starts to rise back to his feet. Sokka soon finds himself upon Naruto's shoulders, firing a few elbow shots into the neck and head but to now use. Although sagging, Naruto gets a spring in his left foot that brings him back to his feet as he DROPS SOKKA BACK FIRST With A Samoan Drop!
"Good Lord, His Spines As Bumpy As Shyamalan's Twists!" Critic shouts.
Naruto gets his arms locked around the waist of his adversary, popping up to his feet just long enough to hoist and throw Sokka a little ways across the ring (to northwest quadrant) with a gutwrench suplex. Noticeably Naruto was slacking on the right, and was making no rush toward Sokka who struggled back to his feet. To two meet in center, with Naruto eventually outnumbering Sokka with clubbing forearms and trying to set him up with another gutwrench in the reverse.
"The gutwrench is growing as one note as his sprint." Bennett jabs, but soon The Southern Warrior manages to pry one arm away, trying to retreat only to get caught in a full nelson. Naruto tugs back but a bit too late as Sokka kicks off from turnbuckle and forces Naruto to crumble back down to the canvas.
Now the facelock was being applied to Naruto's head, as Sokka flowed back to a stance and pulled Naruto straight into the center before dropping the cranium of the Orange Spark upon the mat with a inverted DDT.
Sokka gives a few kicks upon Naruto's chest, splaying him out upon his back and sets his sights on the turnbuckles. Scaling perched up top…
…
…
…
…
...
ELBOW DROP AVERTED, Naruto manages to roll himself to safety as Sokka tries to safe his elbow but still lands shoulder first into the mat. Naruto drags away toward the ropes, his only friend in the hour to get him back to his feet. Sokka is favoring his left shoulder badly as he sits back up AND GETS SLICED APART BY THE NINJA KICK!
"NINGEJAHH KICKAH!" Joey screeches.
"…THE HELL WAS THAT!?" Critic questions.
"A NINJA KICK!"
"NOT THAT."
Sokka looks to have been shut down for the moment, as he puts up no resistance when Naruto lifts him off the canvas via a half nelson until running and dropping him down with a neckbreaker. Then tosses the Southern Warrior like rag doll into the lower left hand corner of the ring. The orange Spark clears the runaway, then sprints back at his foe and drills him right in the jaw with a High Knee.
"That Be Part 1 Of The Barrage!" Bennett exclaims. "Sokka Best Wake The Hell Up Or…"
"Nah, Lets Watch The Ninja Barrage Unfold!" Critic adds.
Naruto climbs the turnbuckle, and wants to drop Sokka down with a diving bulldog. But Sokka, more out of instinct rather than conscious sense, ensnares Naruto's left limb.
"Sokka Able To Keep The Orange Spark Tangled Close." Joey narrarets as Naruto tries shaking Sokka free, then tries prying him free but only for Sokka to similar scrap at his knee. Naruto begins wincing in pain as the agitation on that knee starts to mount, with Sokka able to yank Naruto off the turnbuckle and rush forward into the center of the ring, EXECUTING A BLUE THUNDER BOMB!
"NOBODY!"

"EVER"

…
2.89 But The (Inevitable) Kick Out Dashes hopes of this being the end!
"WINS WITH THAT!" Critic shouts.
Sokka delays only a moment before floating over, grabbing Naruto's left foot like a lever before stomping down on the backside of the knee! Naruto attempts to use the right to kick up and knock hi foe away but instead gets the other caught in Sokka's hold, as he tries to cinch in a Boston Crab.
"A Little Boston Crab-NO!" Joey smoothly transitions as Naruto quickly powers through, rolling right and over the Southern Warrior. And after much of the match being devoted to damaging his own knee, Naruto gives a receipt by stomping multiple times upon Sokka's left knee!
"Sokka's Gonna Be Unable To Stand!" Bennett exclaims.
"Get That Man Some Cactus Juice, Best Pain Reliver In The Earth Kingdom!" Critic shouts.
"…And a few other things…" Joey deadpans.
Sokka is whipped across the ring, and on the rebound from the ropes is given a sudden shift of scenery from arena to canvas thanks to a big boot. One could notice the Orange Spark clutching his knee moments after his foot connected to Sokka's jaw, but put the pain aside as Naruto gets Sokka up upon his shoulders. The crowd builds in anticipation for the incoming F-5…
…

…
BUT SOKKA GRABS HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE, HANGING ON FOR LIFE!
"HEY! HEY! HEY! SOKKA'S DANGLEING FOR LIFE!" Joey shouts.
"Its WrestleWars All Over Again!" Critic refences.
Naruto is jarring away, trying to pry Sokka free of his grasp. But Sokka was pulling as hard as one could to take on the safe side of the ropes. It looks like Naruto pulls clean…..but Sokka hag still clutched to the ropes, becoming hung over the top strand. Naruto hurries to grab his pray AND EATS AN ICEBREAKER!
"ICEBREAKAH!" Joey shouts over the crowd's spiking audio as Naruto drops back to the canvas, while Sokka loses his footing upon the apron and COLLAPSES TO THE FLOOR!
Any advantage of the finisher had been zapped by the might of concrete flooring. It's little over a half a minute till we see any signs of Sokka stirring, his arm extending up to thin air before dropping to wrap around one of the bars within the barricade.
"…Not The Barricade Sokka, Not The Barricade…That's Dah Barricade, That's Da Barricade. Good, he can at least crawl on home." Critic says.
"Indeed, his knees were shot to bits by Naruto earlier." Joey makes mention.
Naruto is static, Sokka is moving the equivalent of molasses (selling this like there's no tomorrow), before at last hobbling on two feet and rolling under the ropes and onto the mat. Head whips back, arm stretches for and the Southern Warrior covers his foe for a pin…

THR- IT'S A TRAP! NARUTO POPS UP WITH SOKKA UPON HIS SHOULDERS. THE ORANGE SPARKS SHAKES HIS HEAD, REMOVING THE ACHE FROM THE ICEBREAKER AND DROPS SOKKA WITH THE F-5!
"F-5! F-5! DEAR LORD, MORE EFFORT THEN ANY OF BROCK'S THE PAST FIVE YEARS!" Joey shouts.

Those who stuck behind Naruto to start to end broke in immediate cheers, while the other half admitted defeat and gave respectful applause. Naruto pops a knee, and briefly masks his face via his palms to wipe any sweat back and re-spike his hair. The victory symbolically sealed with Mr. Attitude holding up the hand of The Orange Spark, one finally time in the NCW Arena.
"Your winner of the match at 8:52…Naruto Uzumaki!" Holo declares to the paying crowd.
Naruto bows to the Johnstown Faithful once his arms freed. He opens his hands wide to face the crowd opposite of the hard camera position (so back is awkwardly to the viewers at home for a moment). Over the thunderous noise of "Tap Out", one can see make out the cheers for Naruto from the fans.
"NAR-U-TO! NAR-U-TO! NAR-U-TO! NAR-U-TO!"
He gives one final salute to the NCW Crazies (...huh...I should have gone with that years ago .-.), before directing his attention to The Southern Warrior he slowly sits up. A slightly somber look covers his face which holds only fractions of the facepaint he walked in with. Realizing this may be the last time he ever wrestlers in a city that revitalized him.
Sokka looks up to find Naruto's right hand in front of his eyes. A hand extended from a old adversary...
...
...
...
Sokka softly shakes it, Naruto having to bend over. The Orange Spark pats his old foe on the back before dipping out of the ring. Naruto heads back up the aisle, shaking as many of the fans hands as he can. But as his ovation and victory anthem dissipates once exiting the sight of the fans, all eyes turn to the NCW Original still the ring.
We notice Holo hands her microphone off to the Southern Warrior, before leaving the ring to just the NCW icon.
"SPEECH! SPEECH! SPEECH! SPEECH! SPEECH!" The crowd begins chanting, wanting to here at least something from the three time world champion...but time elapses as fans await what those words might be. The loss of the match still weighing upon SOkka's brain.
"...I...I hate stating the obvious...but...this is quite...emotional." Sokka says with a sheepish laugh that the fans echo. "...I was not expecting to colossally screw up on that scale, not my plan...but...I'm not going to let that sour this moment..."
Sokka at last goes from his indian squat back to a stance, leaning against the ropes.
"...6 Years Ago I Walked Into This Building...And...Ah, Well, I Don't Wanna Bore Yeah!" Sokka jives to the crowd.
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" The crowd assures they're far from being bored.
"Look, you all know I love each and everyone of you. Your my type of guys! Was here when we first opened that doors in January of 2013...and was here to always watch backstage loose its s*** whenever the damn power went down. I mean seriously...how many times did shows get canceled due to outages?" Sokka asked. "Did any of you get refunded!?...Oh please don't tell me they riped yeah off every time that happened."
"BOUNCED PAYCHECK! BOUNCED PAYCHECKS! BOUNCED PAYCHECKS!" The crowd jokingly chants.
"Don't Fret, I Shall Make It Up For All OF That...well, not all of you because I'd be here forever, but I'll pay one of you back!" Sokka yells, lowering the microphone to the canvas before dipping out of the ring...the crowd being confused.
Sokka has retrieved something from Joey at the announcer table, something dark blue and fabric that's all bundled together. Sokka slides back into the ring and unfurls the bundle...
...
...
...
Revealing It To Be A Home Jersey Of The Local Hockey Team, The Johnstown Tomahawks!
"Now I Dappled With Supporting Sports In This Area From Time To Time, I've Worn Several Jerseys IN NCW! Penguins...Flyers" Sokka states, getting boos when Flyers are mentioned.
"Okay...Lets Just Forget That And Penguins Again. So I Have Here A Tomahawks Jersey, Signed By Me...Which I'm Sure If You Sell On Ebay Will Refund You For All The Outages That Canceled Our Shows Over The Years!" Sokka announces, the crowd popping realizing someone's getting autographed merch to take home.
"WHO WANTS IT...WHO WANTS IT!?" Sokka asks, looking around the arena as everyone starts jumping up and down.
"WE WANT FREE S***! WE WANT FREE S***! WE WANT FREE S***!" Chants break out in small droves in the NCW Arena, but are drowned out by the white noise of everyone shouting at the top of their lungs.
"...I Should Say Its A Medium!" Sokka announces...getting boos from several of the audiences better.
"Alright, that's better. Easier selection...AND GO!"Sokka shouts, tossing the re-bundled jersey toward the right corner of the building (from hard camera POV). The jersey is sent flying...and a mob of three all jump upon one another for the jersey.
"THAT'S FROM THE WATER TRIBE!" Sokka shouts, before dropping the microphone. "Man In The Box" plays once more, one final time in the NCW Arena. The entire audience applauds Sokka as he bows quickly several times before dropping out of the ring. He fast walks around the perimeter of the barricade, slapping hands with all the fans once more. He starts heading up the aisle, saying various quips to individual crowd members unable to be picked up by any of the show's audio. But as he nears the edge of the aisle, just before returning to the back, he faces the entire arena. Taking one last good look at the NCW Crowd, The Johnstown Crowd...as many are singing the song.
