Chapter 8: Here Comes The 'Sonic' Boom
As Master Chief finally got in the ring, he immediately went to work.
The first thing he did was give out twin clotheslines to both Cole MacGrath and Crash Bandicoot. And then, as Guile rushed right at him with a clothesline, Master Chief ducked down and surprised the family man with a neckbreaker out of nowhere!
JBL: Wow, Master Chief is cleaning house!
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, talk about making an impact for sure!
However, the cheering for Master Chief died down for sure when Psymon Stark came out of nowhere with a running dropkick!
JBL: Well, so much for that momentum! That madman came out of nowhere.
Michael Cole: Psymon can't help it. He really is that mad!
Psymon started running around the ring like the freak that he was. There was no telling if he was actually on drugs, or for the fact that he was his usual self. When he saw Master Chief getting his balance by the ropes, the erratic snowboarder charged with all of his might...
...
...only for Master Chief to back body drop Psymon over the top rope and onto the floor hard, bringing in a painful elimination!
Jerry Lawler: *cringes* OOH!
JBL: Welp, so long to the freak.
Michael Cole: I'll say, he landed on his back really hard! I hope he's ok.
JBL: Believe you me, Michael. Psymon is never ok.
13th Elimination: Psymon Stark; Eliminated by: Master Chief; Duration: 14:25
After Psymon's miraculous departure from the match, Dante managed to superkick Donkey Kong right in the face, causing the big ape to stumble and trap himself in the ropes.
With Donkey Kong trapped in the ropes, Dante and Morrigan nodded at each other, indicating a 2-on-1 elimination process in the works!
Michael Cole: What a hard superkick that was by Dante!
JBL: DK's trapped in the ropes! That's definitely not good!
Jerry Lawler: I can see what Morrigan and Dante are up to now!
Just like that, the demon hunter and succulent succubus teamed up to try and get DK over the top and onto the floor. The crowd was on their feet for this one. As much as Dante and Morrigan could try to get him off his feet, it was pointless for the both of them.
But 2-on-1 soon became 4-on-1 as Sly Cooper and Cole MacGrath teamed up with Dante and Morrigan to take the ape out. Suddenly, Crash Bandicoot also began helping out, making this a 5-on-1 situation now. Finally, after what seemed like 25 seconds, Donkey Kong got over the ropes and onto the floor with a huge pop from the fans!
Michael Cole: They've done it! DK's been eliminated!
JBL: I don't know how they did it, but they did it!
Jerry Lawler: And it nearly took all of the competitors in the ring to do so!
14th Eliminated: Donkey Kong; Eliminated by: Dante, Morrigan Aensland, Sly Cooper, Cole MacGrath and Crash Bandicoot; Duration: 14:50
Donkey Kong didn't know how to react to this elimination of his. So in typical DK fashion, he slapped himself in the forehead as he left.
After DK's departure, the Rumble clock lit up around the titantron, bringing in the 22nd entrant of the match.
JBL: Here's comes number 22 coming up! I can't wait!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #22: Freddy Fazbear (Five Nights at Freddy's)
As the buzzer sounded, a scary animatronic bear came through the curtain, greeted by a million boos.
Even his scary appearance was enough to make the kids in the audience hide behind their parents. Despite his happy demeanor, this bear was bad news as it was.
Jerry Lawler: Uh-oh, as if the Boogeyman wasn't that creepy! Look who it is!
Michael Cole: For many of you who don't know who this is, this is Freddy Fazbear from the cult favorite, Five Nights at Freddy's!
JBL: His smile's creeping me out, that's for sure.
Despite being an animatronic bear, he managed to jump over the ropes and land inside the ring.
Right away, he started pounding away at Crash Bandicoot with hard ax handles to the back. He kept on hammering Crash repeatedly every chance he would get. He wasn't even letting the bandicoot catch a break for sure.
Jerry Lawler: Whoa, this bear's a savage!
JBL: Yeah. Crash Bandicoot is getting mauled before my eyes.
Michael Cole: I hate to be Crash right about now.
With Crash struggling to get up, Freddy picked him with with a Gorilla Press.
And then, Freddy decided to toss him to both Dante and Morrigan, who caught Crash and went down with him.
JBL: Wow, I never knew the bear had such strength!
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, but don't forget there's more people like him all over the world who's looking to win here.
Freddy was on a roll here. His next target was Guile himself.
Guile tried to throw a perfect roundhouse kick to Freddy, but the bear managed to duck down and hit him square in the nuts.
Michael Cole: *cringing* My goodness! What a hit!
Jerry Lawler: That was definitely uncalled for!
JBL: Are you kidding? That's definitely a smart move if I've ever seen one!
With Guile holding onto his little man in pain, Freddy managed to lift him up by his legs.
Holding him on with such incredible strength, the evil bear slammed Guile down with a hard powerbomb!
Michael Cole: WHOA! What a powerbomb!
JBL: That'll definitely enough to call a chiropractor for sure.
As Guile laid down in pain, Sly and Cole looked at the damage Freddy was causing.
So on behalf, the two men double teamed Freddy by throwing up a double superkick to the bear's face!
Jerry Lawler: *surprised* Oh, hello!
JBL: I'll be surprised, he was quite effected by that!
Michael Cole: Quick thinking by Cole and Sly.
While Freddy looked a little shaken up by that double hit, Sly and Cole managed to double team him again.
They tried to lift him up with a huge double suplex, but the two failed to make him budge. So they tried kicking him in the legs, just to make him numb. After that worked, the two decided to lift him up again. And still, Freddy wasn't moving that much.
JBL: There's no way they're gonna lift a machine like him. It can't be done!
Jerry Lawler: I shudder to think if he stuffed a dead employee inside that suit.
JBL: You may never know!
Freddy wasn't pleased that he was being double teamed like this.
Angry like a bear would be, he managed to grab both Sly Cooper and Cole MacGrath by the neck. With added power and strength combined, Freddy slammed both Sly and Cole to the mat with a double chokeslam!
Michael Cole: Such power in that chokeslam!
Jerry Lawler: Freddy's looking unstoppable!
JBL: I think we may be looking at the new favorite to win here!
The fans weren't too pleased at the fact that Freddy nearly took out the rest of the competitors in the ring. For that, he was booed by a good portion of the Miami while his loyal FNAF fans all cheered for him.
Enjoying the hate from this crowd, Freddy looked at the Rumble clock far away from the ring. With the 10-second timer set to a go, he awaited the next entrant with open arms.
Jerry Lawler: Number 23 is coming! Hopefully, he or she can stop Freddy!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #23: Sonic The Hedgehog
With the buzzer sounding, a blue hedgehog with red shoes rolled through the curtain to a gigantic pop!
After he was done rolling, he stood up on his feet to hear a huge Sonic chant breakout in a sea of Miami fans. With a huge fanbase like his, no wonder he was one of the favorites like Dante and Master Chief.
Jerry Lawler: Hey, look who just rolled in!
Michael Cole: One of video game's groundbreaking icons from the 90's and a huge crowd favorite, Sonic The Hedgehog.
JBL: Yeah, but look who's waiting for him at the ring!
Jerry Lawler: Definitely gonna be a challenge for his kid.
Freddy Fazbear started cracking his knuckles the same time he was caught in a face-off with Sonic.
Sonic on the other hand, tightened his gloves. This was gonna be an intense showdown between bear and hedgehog, and not one seat was being turned from this.
Jerry Lawler: Ohh, looks like he's ready for a fight!
JBL: That bear's gonna make roadkill out of that blue freak.
Like a bolt of lightning, Sonic sped down to the ring in a flash.
And as he slid inside the ring, Freddy managed to grab Sonic and muscle him up for a powerbomb. Being alerted by this counter, Sonic started socking Freddy in the head repeatedly as the hedgehog managed to counter back with a hurricanrana!
Michael Cole: Impressive hurricanrana!
Jerry Lawler: Sonic was this close to being bombed like Nagasaki there!
Finally realizing that Freddy was down, Sonic decided to capitalize on the bear more.
As Freddy was getting to his knees, the hedgehog ran back to the ropes and nailed him with a running dropkick!
Michael Cole: A smooth running dropkick by Sonic!
Jerry Lawler: Sonic proving that size doesn't matter!
JBL: Freddy just didn't see it coming, that's all. He'll get over it.
Not wasting any time, Sonic managed to get him right up away.
And then suddenly, both Dante, Morrigan, Cole MacGrath, and Master Chief all decided to team up against Freddy Fazbear himself. After one huge push, the fivesome all managed to get Freddy over the top and onto the floor, eliminating him to a huge reception from the Miami crowd!
JBL: Wha-?! Oh, gimme a break!
Jerry Lawler: *to JBL* Hey, you said 'he'll get over it', right? Looks like 'he got over' and out!
Michael Cole: That's gotta sting for Freddy!
15th Eliminated: Freddy Fazbear; Eliminated by: Sonic The Hedgehog, Dante, Morrigan Aensland, Cole MacGrath and Master Chief; Duration: 1:30
Right after Freddy left to the delight of the fans, the action continued as Sly Cooper (who managed to recover quickly) managed to choke out Crash Bandicoot with his signature cane.
Bandicoot tried his best to break free, but that cane was pressed forward his trachea, which made it harder to breathe.
Michael Cole: Look at Sly choking Crash with that cane!
Jerry Lawler: Imagine having a shock collar wrapped around your neck! It's not pretty!
With Crash about to be out of it, Sly managed to get his already limp body to the ropes.
But before Sly could ever toss him out, Sonic snuck right behind the thief and tossed both the raccoon and the bandicoot over the top rope and onto the floor. But Sly wasn't so lucky. As Crash managed to remain on the apron, Sly landed with a hard thud on the floor!
Jerry Lawler: Uh-oh, Sly couldn't get away scot-free this time!
JBL: Thank goodness that dreaded thief is gone. I thought we could've called Carmelita Fox on him.
Michael Cole: Sonic with a second elimination this time!
16th Eliminated: Sly Cooper; Eliminated by: Sonic The Hedgehog; Duration: 8:49
As Sly remained right on the floor, Crash managed to roll right himself back to the ring.
But as foolish as that was, Guile managed to get a hold of him by lifting him upside down. As Crash tried his best to break free, Guile spiked his head head-first with a cringing piledriver!
Jerry Lawler: Hey, a piledriver! That's one of my moves!
JBL: And he pulled it like nobody's business! Somebody get benadryl for this bandicoot!
While Crash held onto his neck in excruciating pain, the Rumble clock lit up once again. Which meant that another entrant was about to appear at the count of 10. Everyone in Miami all awaited the 24th entrant with ease.
Michael Cole: Number 24's coming up momentarily.
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
As the buzzer rang, the people of Miami all checked to see who would come behind the curtain.
As stunned as they were, no one was coming out as the next entrant.
Michael Cole: Where's the next entrant?
JBL: Maybe he backed out at the last minute. Second thoughts I guess.
Michael Cole: That's really unfortunate, considering it's-
Jerry Lawler: *looking up top* Hey, who's that coming down?!
Suddenly, the rest of the audience looked up to see a man falling down from the roof.
Much to their amazement, the mysterious human being landed safely on the ring, which brought out a combination of awe and amazement. They were so amazed by this man that a rip-roaring pop broke out in the arena, leading a lot people to chant 'Holy S**t' over and over again!
The man who people were looking at was dressed in a white hoodie (not racist), filled with a small brown cape, and blades sticking from his forearms. Anyone who had played the "Assassin's Creed" games all recognized who this man was...
Entrant #24: Ezio Auditore (Assassin's Creed)
Michael Cole: *shocked* ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
JBL: Did that nut just dive in from the roof?!
Jerry Lawler: *nodding to JBL* Like it or not, he did!
Michael Cole: Ezio Auditore from "Assassin's Creed" just entered the Rumble in a huge way! And listen to this crowd!
Smirking from the response that this crowd was giving him, Ezio began striking immediately.
He began to strike anyone he saw from Sonic to even Master Chief. And just to surprise everyone, he gave out a surprising RKO to Cole MacGrath.
Michael Cole: RKO outta nowhere!
JBL: I'm assuming he's been watching all the Randy Orton matches, despite being middle aged.
Jerry Lawler: *to JBL* I'm pretty sure he's much younger than that!
Ezio was on a roll for sure.
When he turned around though, Guile surprised him with a boot to the gut. And when he picked him up, Ezio managed to get off of him and leap up in the air, hitting Guile with a jumping reverse STO for good measure!
Jerry Lawler: Wow, Ezio's full of surprises here!
Michael Cole: What a stinging leaping STO!
JBL: This guy's way more crazier than Dean Ambrose put together!
While he was still cleaning house, Ezio looked at the upper left turnbuckle to see Dante and Morrigan team up against Crash Bandicoot, setting up the pain magnet for a double superplex.
Deep down, this definitely brought some interesting thoughts from the assassin himself.
Jerry Lawler: Oh no, what's he thinking already?
JBL: I don't know, and I sure as hell don't wanna find out!
Dante and Morrigan was trying hard to lift Crash up, but Crash used his big wits to trap his leg around the middle rope, forcing himself to keep him grounded on the middle rope.
All of a sudden, Ezio approached the duo and grabbed both of their legs, resulting in one double powerbomb through the mat!
Michael Cole: *shocked* MY LORD!
Jerry Lawler: A double powerbomb with both arms? That's insane!
JBL: Insane is what describes this guy the most! I think he's the new Lunatic Fringe!
That added power took a lot of Ezio for sure. As "Ezio" chants soon filled throughout the entire arena, Ezio took the chance to take a breather.
However, what Ezio didn't have coming was Crash stancing himself on the top rope, hoping to strike him from the air.
Jerry Lawler: I wouldn't celebrate that quickly, Ezio!
Michael Cole: Crash is about to strike!
As Ezio turned around, Crash leaped up in the air...
...
...
...only to eat an RKO, courtesy of one Mr. Ezio Auditore!
Michael Cole: Another RKO! Crash just fell into Ezio's trap!
JBL: It's not like they're even trying to take this man down!
Jerry Lawler: Forget Sonic or Master Chief, he may be my new pick to win without a doubt!
With Crash laid motionless on the mat, Ezio looked around the ring for more competitors to fight next.
While he was doing that, the Rumble clock lit up once again, bringing in halfway the 25th competitor of the match.
Jerry Lawler: Number 25's coming, who is it?
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #25: Ryu (Street Fighter)
With the buzzer sounding for the 25th time, a karate master with a white gi and a signature red headband came out to a lukewarm reception.
Far away from the ring, Ezio stared at the next entrant far away with such interest, making this challenge very interesting in his favor. After throwing out a bit of air punches, he tightened his glove as he ran down the aisle.
JBL: Oh man, did this Rumble get more exciting!
Michael Cole: Here comes Ryu from "Street Fighter"! A true street fighting champion at best since 1987!
Jerry Lawler: This is gonna take his competition to the next level, that's for sure!
Michael Cole: Business is definitely gonna pick up!
