Sorry it took so long to update. I wasn't really too hot on some ideas. Yes, it took me F'N ages to find the right ideas! – J-Shadow!

Chapter Six: Before the Hell

The Wild Kru all sat around Sierra's bedside in the van, waiting for her to wake up from the traumatic stress of her catnapping. It took a while, but she eventually came to.

'You OK?' Sly asked.

'I guess… what happened?' Sierra replied.

'Vader and his Public Enemy team thought they could get to us by taking you from our care… and it freaking worked!' Sly answered in a rage.

'Don't worry about Vader; you're more- cat –than him.' Sierra explained. Then she kissed him lightly. The Black Cat blushed.

'What was that for?' Sly asked.

'For luck. You'll need it.' Sierra concluded. Sly went up to Larry.

'I know… but if you ever wanna' start something, you have my blessing.' Larry said as if Sylvester's mind was an open cell-phone message.

The XNN program Preshock was broadcast an hour before the PPV. Joey Styles & Mark Madden opened the show.

'Welcome to Preshock live on XNN. I'm Joey Styles, along with my broadcast partner, Mark Madden!' Joey introduced.

'I'm more excited than ever, Joe, because we are one measly hour away from the World Annihilation Tour Final competition of 2005 live on the Hardcore PPV network! Two teams; led by two captains who are focused on battering each other's teams into, for lack of a better term, annihilation.' Mark added.

'What has made the competition for the World Annihilation title more interesting is that both teams were involved in a well-documented fight at the Motor City Mall after Kevin Smith & Bugs Bunny catnapped Sierra the Lion, Larry's daughter; which is a perfect example of the kind of mind-games Darth Vader can play. We all know of Sylvester and Larry's instability problems, and that thing provided just the right nudge for those two cats to reach breaking point!' Joey explained, in a nutshell.

'Word is that HWF officials are going to rescind their original decision on the match between Vader & Sylvester and go with Vader vs. Eddy Green, Joe. I know damn well that this isn't going to sit well with former Xtreme League Wrestling World Heavyweight champion Sylvester, who has dealt with viscous Thunder-Dome matches against Panther Master in XLW, which a whole lot worse!' Mark exclaimed.

'But the HWF officials don't want to violate the terms of their loan to Ultimate Japan Pro which clearly states that Vader is not to be involved in any non-ring fights backstage at HWF events, so I can clearly understand why they had to break their verbal agreement.' Joey added.

'Regardless, here's a rundown of the competitors:

The Wild Kru consists mainly of former Heavyweight and Tag Team champions. The captain is Red Tiger, renovator of the Infra Red Striker (version of the RKO) and Even-Flow DDT finishing moves. His sub-captain is Sylvester The Cat; his former Crazy Cats tag partner, who can pull off the Tornado Tombstone Piledriver at 360 degrees and the Catastrophe Starter; a cutter from the Dominator position. Next in the team is Daffy Duck, who has taken to emulating Sabu in the last few months with his Arabian Tombstone finisher. Larry The Lion- big fan of AJ Styles with his Styles Clash finisher –has never held a title, but has chalked up some big wins, like pinning the Unified World Champion Black Falcon with the Roar Bomb at the Megaslam Wrestling Universe festival last year in a steel cage bout. Eddy Green of Peach Creek, California has held the HWF United States title on 7 occasions and the XLW High Flyin' title twice. His finisher is the E-Driver. And Homer has reinvented himself after losing the Unified title to Black Falcon earlier this year, adding the Super Bomb, Homer Spike and Homing Missile fisherman buster to his repertoire.

The Public Enemy consists of a bunch of egomaniacs. Smoke was the newest member named on earlier this week to join Vader, Maul, Bugs Bunny, Kevin Smith & Doctor Octopus. In 51 minutes live on PPV, the Wild Kru will go against the Public Enemy for the right to be called this year's World Annihilation champions!' Mark explained.

Red & Sly were backstage with everyone else. They didn't need to talk to tell everyone else how they felt, because their looks said it all.

There you have the sixth chapter, folks. I apologise for being so long on getting it together. In the next chapter, the competition begins and so does Sylvester the Cat's quest for revenge on Darth Vader! See you soon. – J-Shadow.
