("Across the Nation" by The Union Underground)

After the intro, fireworks in the color of red shoot at the Titantron, then red, blue, and purple pyro shoots out all over the stage before exploding left and right on the stage shooting out like a machine gun for a few seconds before one final blast out of multicolored pyrotechnics shoot out of the stage. The lights came on immediately in the arena, and the crowd immediately roared ferociously in fervor, absolutely thrilled as the camera went over them. The fans throughout the arena were holding signs such as "Dante is the TRUE Son of Sparda! Vergil's Jealous!"; "Believe in JUSTICE! Believe in The SHIELD!"; "Téa Gardner: Representing Kick-ass and Sexy Females."; and "Can Anyone Survive the Playground of Blood?"

"Welcome to Awesome Championship Wrestling, ladies and gentlemen! We are live at the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio! One week away from our go-home show before ACW Reign in Blood! Hello, everybody; Kenji Matsuo here at ringside!" Kenji introduces himself as the camera changes to the announce table.

"And Zack Carver right here, baby! Sitting here next to my awesome Japanese half-brother!" Zack smiles. "Kenji, we are—"

"Whoa, hang on, kid! Don't you start without me, bub!" Barney interrupts. "You've forgotten about the Legend— wait for it...dary Commentator in FWM history! And that is ME! Barney Stinson!"

"...So, Kenji, we got ourselves an interesting match card up tonight," Zack proclaims, completely ignoring Barney as said commentator had a "screw you" expression.

"Oh, indeed, my young brother," Kenji smirks. "But before we announce what we got...ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce to you all ACW's newest commentator, welcome YouTube's own Mark Edward Fischbach AKA Markiplier!"

The camera zooms out to show the famous Markiplier himself. "HELLO, EVERYBODY! My name is Markiplier, and as Kenji already said, welcome to ACW: Awesome Championship Wrestling!" Markiplier introduces. "Guys, it's great to join you three right here at the announce table in my old hometown of Cincinnati, baby!"

"Likewise, Mark. Likewise," Kenji chuckles.

"...Where the hell did you come from?" Barney inquires.

"I've been sitting here this entire time, dude. I've been sitting here before the show even started!" Markiplier says with his arms spread.

"...So, can we get on with what goes on tonight, guys?" Barney brushes Markiplier off, as he now also had a "screw you" expression.

"...Well, to explain, Stinson," Kenji says, narrowing his eyes on him, "last week we've made it official with the Playground of Blood Match being filled up to six competitors. All featuring Nathan Drake, Kurt Hudson, Crash Bandicoot, Ash Ketchum, Seto Kaiba, and— the favorite to win— Beowulf!"

"Tch, please! The only one worth to pick is Seto Kaiba himself! He took out an Internet tool known as Colt Anderson and defeated that loser Joey Wheeler all in one night, man," Barney grins. "My money goes to him, man."

"Yeah, we'll see about that, Stinson. Anyways, tonight, as my half-brother said, folks, our match card tonight consists of three matches already declared from last week. We got Bully Griffin against the New Enigma to go one on one for Hernan to avenge his best friend after last week. We got Dante AND Vergil in action tonight as well, but their opponents are chosen by them to each other. Dante picks Vergil's and vise versa for Vergil. Who will they be?"

"Those are the matches set, and the Women's Champ is in action as well despite of Evil Beauty's assault last week, and we got some awesome tag team action set for The SHIELD's Luke Smith and Erik Rollins against the Television Champion Duke Devlin and the Erupting Eds' own Eddward 'Double D' Remington!" Markiplier announces. "Man, this sounds awesome already. It's gonna be so freaking exciting!"

"Heh, well, then, let's get this awesome party started, baby!" Barney says.

[Genocide, genocide, hail, hail

Genocide, genocide

Genocide, genocide, hail, hail

Genocide, genocide]

("Hail, Genocide!" by Gwar)

"Oh, boy...wonder what he wants..." Zack says as the crowd immediately changes into loud, bursting boos as Rogen Townsend rides out to the stage through the curtain on his motorcycle. The Genocidal Giant turns the engines over and rides down the ramps to the ring. Rogen circles around the ring 3 times before making a stop and flipping the kickstand down. Rogen stands from his motorcycle and enters the ring over the ropes. He looks to the crowd and raises both fists in the air, receiving more boos from the crowd; Rogen lowers his arms.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Rogen Townsend!" Maria Lopez announces.

"After displaying destruction on poor Dax last week, you know he's had enough of the insults and mocking," Markiplier implies.

"If anything, I think I'm starting to see that myself, and I don't really blame him," Barney admits. "It's about damn time Rogen showed how much of a monster he is, how much of a threat he is to both Sasuke and Naruto. Though did he have to Genocide Dax through our table?"

"Does that matter now, Stinson?" Kenji deadpans. "Oy...but anyways, Rogen showed what Genocide was all about and I have the feeling he's not through showing it just yet..."

Rogen grabs a microphone from the ringside crew and stands in the middle of the ring. Just before he could speak, the crowd starts chanting, "You're a moron! *Clap-clap! Clap-clap-clap!* You're a moron!" repeatedly and a large scowl appears on his face.

"See...this...is exactly why I attacked Dax from behind and sent them through a table last week. YOU...are the TRUE morons for calling me one...and it pissed me off... It seems to me that this 'Honest Heel'...just isn't working out anymore," Rogen states.

"No s%t. When did you figure that out, asshole?" Kenji asks with sarcasm.

Rogen continues, "As a certain commentator stated last week...'Genocide...fits best for this one,'" he then motions to Zack, "and he was quite correct."

"Way to go, big mouth," Barney mutters.

"Shut up," Zack deadpans.

"...But even before that...you...your chants...your mocking...your insults... All of that...made me an angry Genocidal Giant...and who payed the price? Dax Din. And he payed for it badly 'cause you couldn't keep your mouths shut. Your chants, everything you've all done to mock me, pissed me off...in fact, it gave me a wake-up call... No more taking this bulls%t anymore... No more of your insults... I'm just gonna do what I do...whether you people like it or not. You try to piss me off...you're gonna experience what genocide is all about... Just like how Brian experienced it...just like how Din just experienced it...and soon...how Uchiha...and Uzumaki...will experience it at Reign in Blood. Then...I will become the NEW Undisputed Champion of the World... HAIL...GENOCI—"

[Thank you for reminding me of why I'm sick inside

Thank you for the venom, did you think it would paralyze?

These scars I scratch, I tear are there under my skin

Where you've always been

Thank you for reminding me to sin with a grin]

("Sin with a Grin" by Shinedown)

Rogen snaps his head towards the stage as Sasuke Uchiha walks out, and the fans are giving such a HIGH mixed reaction. Rogen glares at the Viper walking down the ramps as the Uchiha glares back.

"Sasuke Uchiha himself is out here tonight, and he DARES interrupts Rogen," Markiplier says. "Man, this guy's got nothing to lose, does he?"

"He's the same man who messed with Naruto's head over the weeks before Spring Breakdown and took Duke Devlin out of the wrestling game for a month," Zack notes. "Of course he wouldn't. I don't think he gives a damn that he's interrupting Rogen."

"He's either got words to say or a death wish...or maybe both," Barney quips.

Sasuke grabs a mic of his own from the ringside crew and stands across the ring from where Rogen is at the center of the ring. He simply leans back against the turnbuckle, looking casual and keeping the glares at Rogen. Before he could even speak, half of the fans in the arena chant his name "Sasuke!" repeatedly. Yet, a VERY small smirk appears on his face as he brought up the mic up to his mouth and spoke into it.

"...Nice words, Rogen...nice words... Just like your explanation with WHY you turned Heel in the first place... Very moronic..." Sasuke stated; a scowl appeared on Rogen's face. "And it's pretty true... Hell, these fans know it. How you began this entire thing was just...well...let's let the fans chant it for a bit, shall we?" Then the fans resume chanting the words, "You're a moron! *Clap-clap! Clap-clap-clap!* You're a moron!" repeatedly, and it's just getting the giant more angrier and angrier. A smirk grows on Sasuke's face before speaking again, "Exactly, and considering it was Awards Season, there should be an award for 'Moron of the Year'. In fact...it was an Unsung Award for it...and look who won... And speaking of the Awards...you showed up there on Day One...and demolished Brian the Hedgehog. Then from last week, you showed what Genocide was all about to Dax Din. Indeed, you've shown destruction so far, but the thing is...it's not that good enough... Reason is...you only took out lesser known names. You've took out two guys who are rarely known unlike me and Naruto... In fact...what you did to them...won't be happening to us. You took out a red hedgehog no one gives a damn about...and you took out a Din who wasn't as famous enough as his family like that arrogant Christian Din, which we have God to thank about. See, here's the thing, Rogen, unlike them, Naruto and I are not the type of people to be taken down so easily. We don't go down after one chair shot; we don't get easily caught in your WCD. Naruto and I are something you can't even try to get rid of. Just letting you know, Townsend... Just letting you know...that you won't be Undisputed Champion by Reign in Blood. The Undisputed Champion...is what you're gonna be looking at soon. The Viper's coming for the Kyubi's belt...and you...heh, might as well watch from the sidelines."

Rogen had no words as he continues the frown towards his Reign in Blood opponent. He slowly walks up to him and Sasuke backs out of the turnbuckle to walk up to him as well. The crowd cheers for something to come up between them— something to blow up...until...

[I will not bow, I will not break

I will shut the world away

I will not fall, I will not fade

I will take your breath away...

FALL!]

("I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin)

The crowd cheers loudly as the first-ever ACW Undisputed Champion Naruto Uzumaki walks out to the stage with the belt wrapped around his waist. He glares at both Rogen and Sasuke before facing the crowd at his right. He nods to them as he gives the two-finger salute and walks down to the ring.

"Speak of the devil, the Undisputed Champion himself comes out to the arena," Kenji says. "All three of these men standing in one ring...something tells me we might have early pandemonium."

"Or in Rogen's case, genocide..." Markiplier proclaims.

Naruto stands in the ring with a mic in hand as he glares at Rogen before glaring at his old rival, Sasuke. He bring the mic up and speaks into it.

"Yo," Naruto greets coolly. "I don't mean to interrupt this talk between you two...but Rogen...for once, I agree with Sasuke. We are not Brian or Dax. We're not the kind of guys to be taken down easily by you. You can try to nail Sasuke with a steel chair, you can try to Genocide me through a table...but that's not gonna stop us from taking you down ourselves."

Rogen scoffs with a light chuckle, "...You have got to be joking, Naruto... Both of you...working together? I find it hard to believe... Last time I checked...you two hated each other— no, in fact...you two loathed each other within deep inside your hearts. You two would rather kill yourselves than work together."

"...While that may be true," Sasuke admits, glaring at Naruto before turning to Rogen, "but it's a HELL of a lot better than having you as the Undisputed Champion." The crowd cheers loudly from hearing that. "And it's pretty damn true. Naruto and I may hate each other with every fiber of our being...but we do have one thing in common..."

"And that happens to be KICKING...YOUR...ASS!" Naruto states, inciting cheers from the crowd. "The things I'll do come Reign in Blood is make you pay for what you did to my friend, Isaac Clarke," some of the fans are heard chanting his name, "you putting your hands on Hinata, and...I'm going to make sure a friend of mine's dream doesn't die..."

"Well, whoever your friend is and whatever this 'dream' is...I'll be gladly to ruin it all for you, Naruto," Rogen proclaims. "As I said...you will fall under Genocide..."

"...It seems you have already forgotten I'm standing right here," Sasuke says. "Besides, this 'Genocide' won't be happening as I make a mark for myself. You two try to destroy each other...I can easily slither in and take you both out... All it takes is one Venomous bite... Make it two if it counts you both... Before doing so...might as well take out the biggest problem of all that stands in the way..." Sasuke looks at Rogen with a small glare. "...One that stands between me and Naruto from truly having a match of our own... One that should've been dealt with for nearly ten years...since we've went our separate ways..."

"...Now it looks like nearly ten years later, we're prepared to work together again...unfortunately..." Naruto slightly scowls. "Let me give you another history lesson, Rogen. Have you heard of the team known as...Team 7?" The crowd is cheers loudly from remembering said team. "It consisted of me...Sakura Haruno...Kakashi Hatake...and..." Naruto looks at the Viper, "him...my former best friend... At Reign in Blood...he and I...will pretty much doing whatever we can to take you out... Once THAT is done...all bets are off. In case you don't get that, which isn't surprising 'cause you're actually the bigger idiot than I would be...Sasuke and I make a comeback as two-fourths of Team 7."

"Hmph...Like I said...you have got to be joking..." Rogen scoffs.

"You think I'm joking? Might wanna think twice about that... In fact...I might as well show you..."

"Actually, Naruto," Sasuke steps in, "we might as well show him..."

Naruto raises an eyebrow at Sasuke before turning to Rogen. Then he looks back at his rival. "Good point. Question is...when?"

"...Such an idiotic question, Naruto. That very simple answer would have to be...NOW."

Then Naruto and Sasuke kicked Rogen in the gut simultaneously and start hammering away on him!

"Naruto and Sasuke are going all out onto the Genocidal Giant! Both men are showing they're working together in order to take the big man down and settle the score themselves!" Markiplier yells.

As they continue throwing fists onto Rogen, Naruto and Sasuke set Rogen up for the Double Suplex; both men try to lift him up...but Rogen stays on his feet. Townsend then lifts both ninjas over and lands a one-man Double Suplex to both of them! Naruto stands quick and eats a Big Boot from Rogen! As Naruto holds his face in pain, Rogen forces him to his feet by the hair and knees him hard in the midsection. Rogen then puts him in a Standing Headscissors, looking for the Genocide, but Sasuke Dropkicks him from behind. Rogen hits the ropes and Sasuke whips him, but Rogen reverses and Kitchen Sinks him. As both men are getting to their feet, Rogen instantly grabs them BOTH by their necks! Rogen lifts them—STEREO LOW BLOW! Naruto and Sasuke kick him below the belt and nail a Double DDT onto the canvas!

"With a low blow followed by a DDT, it helps them both take the advantage!" Zack proclaims.

As Naruto and Sasuke were down, both ninjas suddenly kip-up! The crowd is surprised as well as both boys themselves. They share a stare-down against each other before looking down at Rogen. They grab him by the head and lift him up to his feet; Naruto gets a kick to the gut from Rogen and Sasuke receives a punch from him. Sasuke staggers back and Rogen clutches his throat. Before he could lift him up, Rogen takes the running Naruto down again with the Big Boot. Rogen throws Sasuke aside, and as the Uchiha Predator nurses his throat and coughs, Rogen exits the ring and pulls out a steel chair from under the apron. Rogen gets back in, places the chair in the middle of the ring, and Townsend turns to his attention on Sasuke...he drapes the arm over his shoulder...lifts him up high...and Sasuke catches him with the Venom—NO! The Genocidal Giant pushes him off! Sasuke quickly stands and gets taken down with a sick Spinebuster from Rogen onto the chair! Sasuke writhes in pain as Rogen picks the chair up and prepares to make the chair shot. He lifts it over his head...and Naruto takes it out of his hands! Rogen turns and Naruto SLAMS the chair onto Rogen's skull!

"And that chair shot to the skull sends Rogen down, man!" Markiplier shouts. "The Undisputed Champion is the last man standing!"

The Orange Spark roars as beats his chest with a closed fist and the crowd cheers loudly. He slams the chair down and climbs up to the turnbuckle. Rogen stands bent-over, Naruto dives off...and lands the Konoha Bulldog— Rogen catches him in midair and Powerbombs him!

"A Powerbomb in midair! Rogen caught the Champion!" Kenji shouts.

"But Rogen is not through just yet," Barney implies as the Genocidal Giant drags him up to his feet.

Rogen brings Naruto onto his shoulders, elevates him high...and Genocides Naruto onto the steel chair!

"Oh! Right onto the chair! Rogen just lands Naruto's spine onto that steel object from the Genocide!" Markiplier exclaims. "That did not go well for young Naruto. Uh-oh..."

Reason why Markiplier just said that...Rogen sees Sasuke getting up...and Townsend starts winding the arm for the World Coming Down. Sasuke staggers back and turns around INTO THE WCD, THE FORCE OF IT TURNING SASUKE INSIDE OUT!

"OH, MY GOD! The force of that WCD turned Sasuke inside out! That looked devastating!" Markiplier reacts.

"I don't think this is gonna end well for either the Champ or the Viper when Reign in Blood happens, folks..." Kenji claims. "This could be a preview of what can happen in their Triple Threat Match... Genocide...could overcome all..."

Rogen then picks up the Undisputed Championship and raises it high as fans continue booing at Rogen with absolute hate. He stands tall in the ring over Naruto and Sasuke as he holds the belt high.

(Commercial Break)

After the commercial break, we see the commentators at their announce table.

"Welcome back to ACW, ladies and gentlemen," Markiplier says, "from what you just saw earlier, in the opening of our show, we saw Rogen Towsend sending a message to the ACW Universe that he's not gonna take the insults anymore. Sasuke interfered along with Naruto, and both men said they're gonna have to work together in order to take the big man down, and well...might as well show you the replay."

"*Replay* The brutality of this monster known as Rogen Townsend... That just goes to show you, you don't ever mess with the power of the Genocidal Giant— say what you like, guys, but I think Rogen may be the guy to become second Undisputed Champion of ACW," Barney proclaims. "He's showing what Genocide is all about."

"Well, I, for one, don't support this," Kenji bluntly says. "I still see Rogen as the moron for this entire thing...though with that much muscle in the bastard, Naruto and Sasuke will have trouble for themselves."

"Yet, if they manage to work together and take down Rogen, that could be a huge advantage for either wrestler," Zack states. "As well, this gives them a big lead into finally getting things down and done between them."

"And speaking of which, guys," Markiplier says, "I just got word from the office of Jesse Alvarez that after seeing the chaos of what just happened earlier, he's decided to make our main event a Handicapped Match featuring 'The Genocidal Monster' Rogen Townsend versus...holy crap."

"What? What?! Tell us, man! TELL US!" Barney grabs Markiplier by his shirt collar and shakes him. "WE GOTS TO KNOW!"

"Let go of me, jackass!" Markiplier slaps his hands off and fixes his shirt. "Geez...as I was saying, it's gonna be Rogen versus...the reuniting team of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha!"

The fans behind the commentators heard them and a few begins cheering for the main match. It even began spread loudly as they chant, "Naruto! Sasuke! Naruto! Sasuke!"

"...Huh. Spreads like wildfire," Kenji analogizes.

"No kidding," Zack says.

[All you'll ever be

Is a faded memory of a bully

Make another joke

While they hang another rope, so lonely]

("Bully" by Shinedown)

The crowd boos loudly as "The Bully" James Griffin walks out to the stage, looking vicious and glaring throughout the hissing crowd. He begins walking down the ramps on the way to the ring. He turns left and walks up the steel steps into the ring through the ropes. He stands in the middle of the ring and glares at the crowd, still booing at him venomously.

The bell rings as Maria makes the announcement, "The following opening contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 225 pounds, James Griffin!"

"The common bully of ACW making his presence tonight and is facing Hernan Ortiz after last week when Griffin brutally assaulted his cousin Ryan Griffin post-match via count out," Zack states. "James displayed all his frustrations into Ryan after being humiliated."

"And as I said time and time again, Ryan freaking deserved it after James was on a freaking roll since Spring Breakdown and that low-life a-hole ruined it for this dude," Barney frowns.

"Well, as much as I don't like James, I can't deny that," Kenji confesses. "James did had a thing going since his win against Ash Ketchum until Ryan kind of screwed it up for him. He did had it coming...as much as I hate to admit it..."

[This is my town

It's my town! It's my town! It's my town!

This is my town

It's my town! It's my town! It's my town!

This is my town]

("My Town" by Hollywood Undead)

Instantly, the crowd changes from boos to cheers as Hernan Ortiz comes out to the stage, energetic charisma and all while pointing at the crowd. He stops at the middle of the stage to glare at his childhood bully. Hernan then walks down the ramp to the ring and slides in. He glares at James for a few moments before standing on the second turnbuckle and poses for the crowd.

"And his opponent, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 195 pounds, 'The New Enigma' Hernan Ortiz!" Maria announces.

"Here's the man who requested this match to happen after the James' attack on Ryan. You can tell Hernan was pissed to see his friend attacked by James," Markiplier states.

"Yeah, boo-hoo! His stupid friend got hurt because he buried James and he paid the price for it, and now this dude is sticking his nose into this. Yo, kid! Mind your own business when it comes to stuff like this, moron!" Barney retorts. "Your friend had it coming BIG TIME! Now YOU will pay the price by suffering James' wrath, jackass."

"It's all about redemption for Hernan in this one, and he won't stop until he beats Griffin," Kenji states.

Hernan and James stand at their respective corners as they get ready. The ref checks if both men are ready...and he calls for the bell. Griffin and Ortiz circle around the ring for a moment before going into a collar-and-elbow lock-up. They continue the lock hold before James pulls Hernan into a straight knee to the gut. Hernan takes a knee and James hits his back with a Forearm Club. James continues clubbing his back before forcing him to his feet and whipping him to the ropes. Hernan comes back and takes James down with a Reverse Elbow. Hernan makes a run for the ropes and James flips himself on his stomach; Hernan leaps over and James stands up. Ortiz gets caught in a near Hip Toss from James, but the New Enigma reverses and rolls Griffin up into a Small Package Pin!

"Small Package! Hernan could get the early fall here!" Zack calls.

Hernan keeps the pin in hold; 1, 2... James nearly kicks out at nearly three! Both men roll to their feet and James kicks Hernan's face in with the Big Boot! "Not this time, Ortiz! Not you!" James shouts at him, referring to his 20 second-loss. He grabs his head and Forearm Clubs him on the back, making Hernan shout in pain. James gets his opponent into the corner and chops him right on the chest, inciting small "Woos" from the crowd. James makes the Forearm Smash into Ortiz's face before whipping him. When Hernan ran into the corner, he uses it to elevate himself and James comes in, missing Hernan completely. Hernan lands on his feet behind the bully and makes a run for the ropes. Griffin looks to Clothesline, but misses, and Hernan bounces off the ropes and lands a Springboard Dropkick to the chest! He hooks the leg again; 1... James kicks out at one! Ortiz then mounts James and starts unloading his right hands onto the face of Griffin. He goes on before the ref had to pull him away. They bicker for a while until Hernan went back to James...only to get a poke to the eye!

"Ooh, an finger to the eyes of Ortiz," Markiplier winces. "Nobody likes that one."

"A cheap shot to the eye by Griffin... Should I be surprised?" Kenji deadpans.

"That's what I call SMARTS," Barney smirks.

The crowd boos loudly as James smirks at his dirty tactic and Hernan holds his eye in pain. James makes Hernan face him and makes a shot to the gut. He hits him with the European Uppercut and whips him to the ropes. Hernan bounces back and James takes him down with a Spinning Spinebuster. Now Griffin covers; 1, 2... Hernan kicks out at two. The bully drags him to his feet and takes Ortiz down again with a Sidewalk Slam. He covers, but Hernan again gets the shoulder up at two. James runs his right hand through his hair, looking a bit annoyed by this. He picks Hernan up by the arm and Lariats him down. Still holding Hernan's arm, James picks him up once again and makes the hard Lariat. James drags him to the center of the ring and Leg Drops him. He covers; 1, 2... Hernan gets the shoulder up at 2.75. He shouts at the ref to count faster before dragging the New Enigma to the ropes. He places his head on the middle rope and begins choking him with it as he has his knee on Hernan's back, pushing his neck into the rope. As he holds it, the referee scolds him to releases the illegal hold as he counts up to five; 1! 2! 3! 4! The ref tries to push him off and James lets go as raises arms up in defense while having the evil smirk on his face, feeling proud of his dirty choke. Hernan lies on the ropes, coughing to catch his breath. When the ref was done scolding him, James sees Hernan still lying on the ropes and grins. He measures him from there, bounces off the ropes, and runs to make a Leaping Body Guillotine...and Hernan quickly gets out of the way, making James hit the middle rope and bounce off onto the canvas!

"Hernan moved out of the way just in the nick of time! This could be the kid's advantage!" Markiplier implies.

"Gah! James, get your ass up! Hernan's about to take control if he gets up, man! Do something!" Barney panics.

Both Hernan and James lie on the mat, trying to catch their breath. The ref checks on both men and begins to make the count— Hernan suddenly kips up! The crowd cheers loudly in surprise as Hernan smirks and looks at James, who is stumbling to his feet. James turns around and Hernan hits the Spinning Heel Kick! Griffin gets up and another Spinning Heel Kick from Hernan! The bully stands on his feet, Hernan whips him to the ropes, but gets thrown to the ropes instead. The New Enigma bounces off, ducks the Clothesline, and Superkicks the bully's jaw off— James catches the foot! He looks to make the strike, but Hernan Enzuigiris him! James gets to his feet and Hernan whips him to the ropes once more. Griffin bounces off and Hernan leapfrogs over him; the bully hits the ropes and gets taken down with a Reverse Elbow. The New Enigma slaps his chest with a shout of pride as he has control over the match, inciting cheers from the crowd. Hernan stands and stalks his childhood bully up for the end. James staggers to his feet and turns to receive a kick to the midsection. Hernan locks him in the Front Headlock, yells out, and connects the Chaos Breaker (Twist of Fate)— James pushes him away! Hernan bounces off the ropes and James catches him with another Spinning Spinebuster—TORNADO DDT FROM THE NEW ENIGMA! James lies on the mat, looking like he's out of it, as Hernan is nearly on a sitting position.

"Goddammit! This is NOT good for Griffin at all!" Barney snarls.

"That was an IMPRESSIVE counter by Ortiz right there, man!" Kenji says. "He's got James right where—"

"Wait, is the kid gonna fly?!" Zack asks, interrupting his half-brother.

Indeed the young New Enigma was. Hernan climbs on top of the turnbuckle, staring down at James as he is lying on the canvas. Ortiz readies himself at the top with his arms splayed...

...

...

...he dives off for the Final Countdown (Swanton Bomb)...

...

...

...

...

AND JAMES CATCHES HIM WITH THE GROUNDED!

"WHAT THE HELL?! WHEN DID GRIFFIN GET UP!?" Markiplier yells.

"He just caught Hernan in midair and Grounded him!" Zack says. "How the hell did he do that?! How in God's name was that possible?!"

"I don't know, but guys, Hernan Ortiz— Oh, wait, James' not done! Ha-ha-ha!" Barney laughs as James brings Hernan up.

He puts him in a Standing Headscissors, lifts him up on his shoulders...and plants him with the Grounded once more!

"Not once, but TWICE James has Grounded the New Enigma!" Kenji says.

"Welp, Hernan Ortiz..." Barney began.

James grins at the downed Ortiz as he hooks both legs; 1, 2, 3!

"...thanks for coming to lose!" he finishes with a smirk as the bell rings.

("Bully" by Shinedown)

"Here is your winner, James Griffin!" Maria declares.

James lets go of Hernan's legs as he grins down on him evilly and says to him off-mic, "Just like the good ol' days, huh, Hernan? Just like when we were kids..." He stands up as an evil laughter is heard from him. The ref raises his right arm, signalling him as the winner. He lets go and James lowers his arm. Hernan holds his head in after being Grounded twice. James walks over to him and disrespectfully nudges his head with his foot. The ref scolds him, and James held his hands up in defense and left the ring. He backs up at the ramps with the sinister, satisfied grin upon his face as the ref is checking to see if Hernan's okay.

"James picks up the win tonight and Hernan has failed to avenge Ryan," Kenji proclaims.

"Truthfully, Benji, my not-good friend, James is the one getting his vengeance here because he was humiliated by his stupid cousin," Barney nods. "Although, I don't think he's QUITE gotten his revenge yet as he now needs to deal with Ryan once and for all."

"That's pretty much something we're gonna have to see ourselves very soon," Markiplier states...before saying, "Hang on...what's going on here?"

Just as Hernan was getting helped up by the ref...

...

...James attacks him from behind with a steel chair to the spine!

"My goodness, James just attacked Hernan with a steel chair from behind!" Zack yells.

"Goddammit, James! What has Hernan done to deserve this?! You've already won the damn match, you bastard!" Kenji frowns.

With the crowd booing venomously, the ref swipes the chair away from Griffin and yells at him to leave already. James didn't give a damn at all as the sick grin was still plastered on his face and left the ring. He backs up at the ramps with his arms splayed and says, "That's what ya get for getting in my business, Ortiz... Just like Ryan...you deserved THAT..."

"Like Ryan, Hernan had it coming when he interfered with his business. This is what Ortiz deserves for getting into personal family matters," Barney mockingly shakes his head, hiding a small grin. "Can't say I blame James for this."

"Do you EVER listen to yourself, Stinson? What James has done was COMPLETELY uncalled for! He already won the damn match and he just added insult to injury with a steel chair to Hernan's spine!" Kenji shouts.

"It's just a simple message, Benji. Hernan should've MINDED his own damn business as this is between the TRUE Griffin...and the peasant Griffin."

James stands at the stage with both fists in the air as the crowd continues booing at him and Hernan is on all fours and is seething with absolute hatred. James scoffs with a smirk as he leaves. The camera soon changes to where we see ACW Hardcore Champion Jason Krueger, who looks...REALLY irritated and pissed after last week's match, as he is being interviewed by Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg.

"Heh-heh—How's it going, Bros? My name...is PEEEEWDIEPIE. And here my guest at this time, as you can clearly see, a VERY pissed off Hardcore Champion known as Jason Kru—ACK!" PewDiePie introduces before Jason grabbed him by the throat.

Jason looked VERY angry as he nearly choking Pewds. "...You must have a death wish, Felix..."

"Gah! I'm just doing my...job, you dick!" PewDiePie said, trying to release himself from Jason's grip. The Hardcore Champ just scoffs and lets go; Pewds coughs as he catches his breath. "...Ah...! The hell, man! God... *Mutters in Sweden*"

"Let's just get this over with..." Jason says, shouldering the belt draped over his shoulder.

"Ugh...whatever, man. I didn't even want to f%king do this," PewDiePie says as he nurses his throat. "Ah...now...getting to my job... Last week from ACW's AWESOME main event, Ichigo Kurosaki became the NUMBER ONE contender for your Hardcore Title at Reign in Blood in an Hardcore Match after Spearing you. And as I am hearing from sources, bro...this is getting into your head. That's no lie. And if this keeps up, not only will you lose it...but this could be his opportunity to take what's yours, and you might lose your Hardcore Title. It seems the Rated-R Reaper is getting into your head, bro. What do you have to say about that?"

PewDiePie holds the mic up to Jason's face as his eye was twitching. "...You wanna know what I have to say about that...? That...is BULL. What Kurosaki has done last week was a FLUKE... He DID NOT get into my head. Just because he pinned me in a Six-Man Tag Match last week DOES NOT mean he's going to do the same again...! He got LUCKY... Reign in Blood...he won't be so lucky. I've won this title after Goring Loredo through a flaming table on the outside...I've retained this title after planting Bandicoot's face in the canvas...I'll retain this again...when I BREAK...ICHIGO'S...DAMN...NECK! In ACW, I am known as the 'Gore Machine'...but once Ichigo steps in the ring with ME...he's gonna learn WHY in UCA I am called...the 'Messiah of Neckbreakers'... Then we'll see if he'll be walking again after that... All in all...it PROVES he won't beat me so easily...it PROVES...he hasn't gotten into my head..."

"...You SURE about that, bro? I mean...it seems you're STILL sore over that loss. That's basically all the dude needs to take away your title. I'm just saying, man...you say he's not getting into your head...but he KIND OF is. And...you're PRETTY much gonna lose your mind AND your belt, man."

Jason's eye then begins twitching violently; he grinds his teeth, a growl is heard from him, and clutched his Hardcore Belt tight.

"...I...AM NOT...LOSING IT, DAMMIT! KUROSAKI GOT F%KING LUCKY BECAUSE I GOT CAUGHT UP WITH FINISHING OFF ALTERED EGOS! I WON'T LET THIS BULLS%T HAPPEN TO ME! I ALREADY HAD ENOUGH BULL WHEN TERRA TALKED CRAP ABOUT MY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE! I ALREADY HAD ENOUGH BULL WHEN ICHIGO F%KING PINNED ME LAST WEEK! I DON'T NEED YOU, A F%KING YOUTUBER TO SAY I'M LOSING IT! I AM NOT F%KING LOSING IT! I AM NOT LOSING MY HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP TO AN MOTHERLESS ASSHOLE JUST BECAUSE HE'S 'GETTING INTO MY HEAD'! I AM JASON MOTHER F%KING KRUEGER, THE AWESOME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING HARDCORE CHAMPION! WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, THAT'S WHO I AM! I WILL DO MORE THAN JUST GORE ICHIGO THOUGH FLAMING TABLES! I WILL DO MORE THAN JUST PLANT HIS FACE ON THE COLD CONCRETE! I WILL DO MORE THAN JUST BREAK HIS F%KING NECK! I WILL END ICHIGO'S CAREER ONCE AND FOR F%KING ALL! SO I'LL SAY THIS AGAIN! I HAVEN'T F%KING LOST IT AND I NEVER WILL! FROM LAST WEEK, ALL IT TAKES IS ONE F%KING BAD DAY FOR A MAN TO GO INSANE! AND I'M PRETTY MUCH HAD ONE LAST WEEK AND I'M HAVING ONE TONIGHT!"

Jason then angrily stomps off as PewDiePie is left with widen eyes in surprise before he blinked twice and looked at the camera.

"...Whoa...that...was pretty crazy there, Bros..." Pewds proclaims. "So, uh...yeah... That's all for Interviews with PewDiePie; I'll see you on the next one. Stay awesome, Bros. Love ya. M-bye..." He stops as he sees something off-screen...

...

...

...

...

...

...and "The Rated-R Reaper" Ichigo Kurosaki walks in front of the camera, looking at the direction where Jason left...and a smirk appeared on his face.

"...Heh...got you right where I want you, Krueger... Just keep it up...and you won't be Hardcore Champion any longer..." Ichigo smirks. "It's only a matter of time..."

Ichigo continues the smirk as we head to commercial.

(Commercial Break)

We return from commercial as the crowd is waiting for anything coming.

[Fear something to get up, up, up, up, up, up

("Fear" by Disturbed)

"Here comes trouble, people, as the Gods of Darkness have arrived," Zack says as the crowd showers the arena with hissing boos as the lights turn phoenix red and Ryo Bakura and Marik Ishtar walk out to the stage with dark expressions read on their faces. Not only that, the evil grins were plastered on their faces, reminiscing from two weeks ago. Both of the self-proclaimed Gods of Darkness walk down the ramps on the way to the ring. Bakura slides under the bottom rope as Marik walks up the steel steps and into the squared circle through the ropes. Bakura requested the ringside crew to bring him a mic immediately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ryo Bakura and Marik Ishtar, The Gods of Darkness!" announces Maria.

"The self-proclaimed Gods of Darkness are here in the U.S. Bank Arena...and the crowd - my hometown - is not happy to see them," Markiplier implies. "Can't say I blame them. I remember EXACTLY what these dudes had done two weeks ago to poor Komuro."

"That highschool punk got what he deserved for running his mouth in the first place. He got firsthand punishment from the Gods and it was quite deserved," Barney affirms.

"What the Gods of Darkness did two weeks ago was quite despicable," Kenji says. "They attack Takashi post-match of the Triple Threat Tag, and nearly cracked his skull open after that devastating Con-chair-to."

"Well, it was a well-deserved punishment for messing with the Gods. That's your lesson, folks: NEVER mess with a god, or in this case, NEVER mess with The Gods of Darkness."

Bakura and Marik stood in the middle of the ring, looking throughout the jeering Cincinnati crowd. Bakura fed off the hate with a smirk and chuckles into the mic.

"...If you're wondering why we're here...we just have a small message...but that...can be quite displayed easily. As of what happened two weeks ago in our Triple Threat Tag Match...known to be Match of the Night that said night...Takashi Komuro learned a lesson of what happens when you f%k with a god... You pay the unfortunate price. That price...well...might as well show you again..."

Bakura then looked to the Titantron as it replays a clip of the post-match with the Triple Threat Tag Match. It showed Takashi being brutally assaulted by Marik and Ryo before being hit in the head with a sickening Con-chair-to. The crowd is heard wincing from seeing that clip again. It ends and evil grins were still plastered, yet grew bigger at the sight of seeing that.

"These two ACTUALLY find this satisfying...disgusting..." Kenji scowls in disgust.

"Hey, Komuro had it coming from the very beginning, man. That's a fact," Barney nods.

Bakura resumes speaking, "And that...was it. Takashi Komuro became the FIRST victim of the Gods of Darkness' hands...and now...he doesn't seem to be here, now IS he? Heh...he's taken this lesson to his head. Though, not sure if he could considering his painful punishment, heh-heh-heh... If so...guess we'll have to keep up his punishment until he actually gets it...or until he doesn't move as the red river runs from his broken skull..." he sinisterly chuckles as the crowd continues booing at him. "There's a lesson in ALL of this, peasants...NEVER mess with a god... DON'T EVER f%k...with a god...TRY...and you'll get the receiving end of Komuro's punishment. And that goes out to EVERYONE ELSE in the backstage and locker rooms of the Tag Team Division," he points at the stage, motioning said places, "that if you try and get in our way...you will be the next victims JUST...LIKE...KOMURO...!"

...

"Is that so?"

Bakura's grin suddenly disappears as he slowly turns his head to the stage...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...and Takashi Komuro is seen on the Titantron screen along with Kohta Hirano as the crowd pops in surprise. The Gods of Darkness is livid seeing them back here.

"...Guess I'll probably receive my punishment again. Then again...I HIGHLY doubt that," Takashi says.

"...So...decided to come back, huh, Komuro? You and your fat friend decide to come back for your well-deserved punishment... Then what are you two waiting for? We're right here!" Ryo tells him.

"Actually, before Kohta and I head down there...you should know that when it comes to guys like you...I'm not intimidated that easily. Yeah, you two nearly cracked open my skull, congratulations. But what's happening? I'm right HERE. I'm standing in this very backstage talking to you two - and I'm living and breathing - so there you go. To quote a personal song of mine...'There's no holding me back...I'm not driven by fear, I'm just...driven by anger.' Those words...describe me well. NOTHING is gonna hold me back from kicking your asses and give you your OWN receiving punishment. I'm not driven by the fear of you two or anything. I've already faced Them before countless times and I'm used to those s%ts. After all, I'm close to losing it, anyways... And my me driven by anger...is simple... I've already been screwed over along with Kohta by you two out of a shot at the World Tag Titles...I nearly got my skull cracked by you two...don't think that doesn't piss me off 'cause I ALREADY AM PISSED OFF! ...So get ready, 'Gods of Darkness'..."

("Whatever" by Our Lady Peace)

"...we're coming... Get ready...to DROP DEAD..."

Takashi and Kohta then begins to walk their way to the Gorilla Position as the Gods of Darkness stand ready for them and "Whatever" by Our Lady Peace continues playing over the loudspeakers.

[There's no holding me back

I'm not driven by fear

I'm just driven by anger

And you're under attack

I'm just climbing up slowly

I'm the one and only

The tease, the way you lie

The stumble in your mind

The fear, the hope inside

They hit here

But whatever you need

'Ever you got

'Ever you want

I'll take back again]

"This kid is angry and pissed, and I don't freaking blame him!" Markiplier confesses. "I can tell by the fire in his and Kohta's eyes that they actually want Ryo and Marik to Drop Dead, and they ain't gonna stop until they get the job done."

"These stupid brats are just asking for a death wish and it seems Bakura and Ishtar are the ones to get THEIR job done as the Gods of Darkness," Barney notes.

Ryo and Marik stand in the ring, waiting for Takashi and Kohta to come out, as they keep their eyes at the stage. As time passes...they don't seem to appear yet.

"...Where are they? They haven't arrived yet," Kenji wonders.

"Exactly," Barney says. "Those punks finally got their brains working and know that—"

"Hang on a minute!" Zack shouts...

...

...

...

...as Takashi and Kohta attack the Gods from behind!

"They snuck up the Gods of Darkness from behind! They're giving them karma over the first time they've been attacked!" Zack exclaims.

"Seriously!? You have got to be joking! I call bull on that! TOTAL BULL!" Barney whines.

"Call it what you like, Stinson. There's only ONE word for this...and it's called PAYBACK," Kenji states.

Komuro and Hirano continued hammering away on them before Marik and Bakura fought back. Both teams trade fists back and forth and they continue this as Takashi has Ryo at the ropes and Irish Whips him. Bakura bounces off and Takashi catches him with a Flapjack. With Kohta and Marik, the otaku is cornered by the Master of Darkness as he is stomping him. Marik picks him up and whips him into the other corner. Hirano stops himself when he makes it and Back Elbows Marik in the face. As Marik staggers back, holding his face in pain, Kohta runs up from behind and lands a Falling Neckbreaker. As both Gods were temporary down, Kohta and Takashi looked around before looking at each other...and a crazed look appeared on Takashi's face.

"KOHTA!" he shouts.

"WHAT?!" Kohta shouts back, having the crazed look as well.

The crowd cheers very loudly as both highschool teens looked at them...before looking back at each other...and Takashi points at both sides of the ring...while yelling three little words...

...

...

...

"GET THE TABLES!"

The crowd pops as Kohta immediately rolls out of the ring and takes out a wooden table from under the apron. Kohta brings the table into the ring with him and he and Komuro begin setting it up.

"These two are looking to put the Gods away through a table and these folks - my hometown - wants it to happen!" Markiplier says. "Should I blame them?"

"To answer, Mark: YES! Blame your moronic people for ACTUALLY supporting this insanity!" Barney exclaims. "I call total bull on this entire thing, man! TOTAL BULL!"

"Like I said, Stinson: it's called PAYBACK," Kenji says.

After they finished setting the table up, Takashi and Kohta stand ready to make Bakura Drop Dead as he slowly gets to his feet. When he did, Takashi lifts him up with a Flapjack...

...

...

...

...

...and Marik gets the table out of the way, therefore, saving his partner from being put through a table, yet he hits the mat from Takashi's Flapjack!

"What the hell?! Where did Marik come from?!" Kenji exclaims.

"*Replay* He took Kohta out before getting that table out of the way," Zack explains as the replay of it is shown.

"Well, what do you know about THAT! Marik makes the save for his fellow god!" Barney sighs in relief. "What a miracle!"

Takashi stands up to see what happened before Marik Dropkicks him away and gets Bakura along with himself out of the ring. The crowd boos loudly at their cowardice as they back up at the ramps. Takashi and Kohta glared at them and Komuro shouts for them to get back in and fight like a man. Ryo motions not today to them as he and Marik look to retreat...but Jesse Alvarez appears on the Titantron screen, inciting cheers from the crowd.

"...Uh...hello, if I can have your attention, please," Jesse calls and both teams looked at the Titantron. "Hey, guys, uh...you know, I've been watching this for quite a while since Spring Breakdown...and my interests have been peaked since. In fact, an idea has JUST popped into my— no, actually, TWO...TWO ideas popped into my head. One that has to do with tonight - I'll get to that later - and...one with Reign in Blood. As Takashi said about three weeks ago, he declared that you two teams face each other in a certain tag match at Reign in Blood...well...it's gonna happen," the crowd is heard cheering at the announcement. "Yeah, that's right. At Reign in Blood, it will OFFICIALLY be The Gods of Darkness - Ryo Bakura and Marik Ishtar - versus Highschool of the Dead's very own Takashi Komuro and Kohta Hirano in a Tornado Tag Team Elimination Tables Match!"

With that announcement made, the entire arena bursts into cheers as Kohta and Takashi nods their heads in agreement to the match as Marik and Bakura...looked a bit angry, but had to deal with it.

"Well, now that that's out of the way, let's move on to the other idea I said I'd tell later," Jesse continues. "That idea happens to be a match that will happen as soon as I am out. That match...it is Takashi Komuro versus Ryo Bakura - one-on-one - in a singles match. And that starts...now."

The Titantron screen immediately turns off and Bakura looked livid, demanding he doesn't want this match to happen; however...Takashi grabs him behind, runs to the ring with him in tow, and throws him inside!

"Oh, here we go! Takashi wants Ryo already and we're gonna see some action between them RIGHT NOW!" Zack shouts.

"Hey, he wasn't ready, man! Bakura wasn't ready, damn it!" Barney yells.

As Takashi got in the ring, the bell is rung, and when Bakura was about to get up, Komuro tackles him down and unloads a fury of right hands onto the Spirit of Darkness! He continues the furious fists until he gets off him, bounces off the rope, and lands a sharp Elbow Drop. Komuro makes the quick cover, hooking both legs; 1... Bakura kicks out. Takashi forces him up and right hands him. His right fists continue hitting Bakura's head before Takashi Irish whips him to the ropes, but he reverses it. Takashi bounces off the ropes, Bakura bends over for a Back Body Drop— Takashi Baseball Slides under him and Dropkicks him from behind. Ryo quickly rolls out of the ring to recover as Komuro slightly crouches, ready to kick his ass again with a smirk. The Spirit of Darkness glares at Takashi as he slowly slides into the ring. Both men circle around the ring for a bit before going into a lock-up. Ryo gets behind Takashi with the waist lock and takes him down with the Back Side Slam before getting him into the Front Headlock. He keeps the arm wrapped around Takashi's neck as said teen is doing his best to get out of it. Kohta at ringside cheers him on as Marik at the opposite tells his partner to keep the hold tight. Bakura roughens the hold for a bit, keeping Takashi in prone on the mat. However, Takashi gets on a knee with his enemy in tow. He slowly gets to his two feet and slams him over with a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex; 1, 2... Ryo gets the shoulder up! He wraps the arms around Takashi, but his shoulders are down again; 1, 2... Bakura, despite his physical form, lifts himself up along with Takashi and spins out of it and battles him into a Backslide Pin.

"Bakura gets up and now these two are battling to see who gets who on their shoulders!" Kenji comments.

"C'mon, Ryo! You're one-half of the Gods of Darkness! You should easily overpower this punk!" Barney cheers on.

With the small battle of strength continuing, Takashi slowly starts to gain momentum and brings Bakura down on his shoulders with the Backslide; 1, 2... Bakura kicks out at two! Ryo rolls to his feet quick and Front Dropkicks Takashi's face in, right before the teen could even stand! Komuro rolls away as he holds his face in pain. Bakura gains a slight grin and brings Takashi up into the corner. He hits the chest with a stiff Knife Edge Chop, making Komuro hold his chest from that slap. The Spirit of Darkness lifts his head up and takes a shot at him with a left hand. He whips him to the opposite corner— no, he fakes it and knees Takashi in the midsection. With Takashi bent over, Ryo grabs him by the hair and Mat Slams him hard. The ref scolds him as Bakura smirks down on the hurt Takashi. He looks bends over near him and tells him, "How does it feel to be overpowered by a god, Komuro? How does it—?" A kick to the skull by Takashi! As Bakura staggers back to the corner, holding his head, Takashi stands up, sees his opponent at the corner, sprints right at him, hits the Shining Wizard! Then, he wraps the arms around his head, runs forward with him in tow, and Bulldogs him! Takashi gets to his feet and roars with momentum by his side now, inciting cheers from the crowd. He sees Bakura down on the ground and gets onto the apron. He stalks him from behind the ropes, looking to make a surprise attack. Ryo stands on his feet and turns around, Takashi leaps onto the ropes, springboards them off, and Clotheslines— SWIFT SPIRITS!

"Swift Spirits in midair! My goodness, Bakura takes Komuro down with that move!" Markiplier winces.

"Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about, baby! That's the POWER of the Spirit of Darkness working here for the RIGHT person to win!" Barney grins.

Bakura hooks both legs, making the cover; 1...

...

2...

...

...

...

...TAKASHI KICKS OUT AT 2.85! Bakura holds his head, gaping in complete shock and anger! He grabs him by the hair and begins dragging him up. He gets him to his feet and a STIFF Roundhouse Kick from Takashi! You can hear kick off the skull echo in the arena! Ryo goes down and Takashi turns him over for a hook of the leg; 1, 2... Bakura rolls the shoulder up at 2.85! Takashi is stunned himself of how he kicked out of that Roundhouse like that. He snaps out of it and drags Ryo up to his feet. Takashi Back Chops him, inciting "Woos" from the crowd...and Bakura Back Chops him back, also inciting "Woos"...and Komuro Back Chops him again...and Bakura returns the favor! Both men continue trading the chops to each other until Komuro starts landing right shots to his head. He keeps it up as he has him backing up to the ropes and Irish Whips him. Ryo bounces off and ducks the Clothesline from Takashi. He bounces off from the other ropes and Flying Lariats Takashi down! He covers quickly; 1, 2... Takashi kicks out at 2.68! Ryo gets a little frustrated and he brings him up to his feet...to get another Roundhouse— NO! He ducks the kick and pushes him off to the ropes! Takashi hits the ropes, Bakura leaps for the Front Dropkick...but Takashi stops himself and Bakura falls onto the mat, making a mistake. As he holds his head, Komuro measures him up...he back to the ropes...and Marik grabs the foot and trips him, making Takashi hit the mat face first! The crowd boos at the dirty tactic as Marik points to his head, motioning he's playing smart, and telling Komuro that he should keep his eye on his surroundings. The crowd's boos then turned into cheers...

...when Kohta comes in and Spears Marik and unloads his fists on him!

"That fat ass is interrupting the match here, man! Ref, aren't you seeing this!? Call for the bell, dammit!" Barney demands.

"Marik interfered first here and Kohta is the one giving him his just desserts!" Kenji retorts.

As Kohta and Marik fought at ringside, Ryo sees Takashi down and grabs him by the head. He slowly brings him up to his feet and gets him in the Inverted Headlock. He looks for the Exiled to Hell, but Takashi manages to spin out of it, ducks the Clothesline, and slams Bakura with a German Suplex! He rolls to his feet with Bakura in tow and lands the German a second time as the crowd counts, "TWO!" Takashi rolls up once more and finishes 3 Alternate Deaths— Wait, no! Ryo catches himself in a Wheelbarrow position and Victory Rolls Komuro! Both shoulders are down; 1, 2... NEAR-FALL AT 2.99999! Both men get up and Takashi catches him in a Half Nelson; he goes for the Half Nelson Bulldog, but Bakura gets out of it, looks to kick him...and Takashi catches the foot. With it, he hits a Dragon Screw Legwhip, hurting Ryo's leg in the process. Komuro quickly grabs Bakura's legs, wraps them around his right leg, turns him over...and sets in the Sharpshooter! Takashi leans and pulls back, keeping the hold in and bring pressure into Bakura 's lower spine, who is screaming in pain as of now. The referee lies near Ryo, asking if he wants to give up already. However, the Spirit of Darkness refuses as he shakes his head. He then begins to stand on his hands, bringing Takashi to his feet, but keeps the Sharpshooter locked in. Bakura then rolls himself in front of Takashi and rolls him up in a Small Package! The ref makes the count; 1, 2... KICK OUT AT 2.99999! Both of them roll to their feet, Takashi catches Bakura into the Crossface— no, he pushes him away. A Roundhouse Kick from Takashi and Ryo ducks it. He hits a Dropkick from behind, sending Komuro to the ropes. He bounces off and...Swift Spirits—NO! Takashi with the Knee Lift followed by a Falling Neckbreaker, nailing the Pulse Check! Takashi stands with his arms splayed and begins clapping rhythmically, signaling the Deadswitch. The crowd follows along as it gets faster and Ryo slowly gets to his feet. His back turned on Takashi and said person grabs the arms, turns him around...

...

...

...

...and makes the Deadswitch!

"Deadswitch connects! The Deadswitch connects!" Zack calls. "Now he's going for the hook of the leg!"

Takashi turns him over and hooks the leg; 1, 2, 3!

"And HAAAABUSKI! That's all she wrote!" Markiplier calls as the bell rings.

("Whatever" by Our Lady Peace)

"Here is your winner, Takashi Komuro!" Maria declares.

Takashi sits up and raises a right arm as he holds his head. The ref helps him up and holds his right arm up, signaling him as the winner. Bakura rolls out of the ring as he holds his head and he brings Marik up from the barricade. They begin to retreat at the ramps as Takashi smirks at them. Kohta rolls in and stands next to his tag team partner as he holds abdomen. Ryo seethes at his Reign in Blood opponents and says to them, "Wait 'til Reign in Blood, Komuro! Wait until YOU are sent through a table by the Gods of Darkness!" Takashi hangs off the ropes and smirks at the Gods leaving.

"Wait until Reign in Blood, kid... WAIT until the Gods destroy you and Hirano!" Barney warns. "By then, you won't be smirking anymore, now will you!"

"I'll say this, Komuro may have won this battle for his team, but the war is far from over, man," Markiplier forebodes. "I just have the feeling these two teams won't just try to send each other through a table...they are going to DESTROY each other."

"Well, it'll be carnage, anarchy, and bloody all over - keyword here: BLOODY - 'cause that's what Reign in Blood is all about..." Zack states. "And we can pretty much expect that from them both."

The Gods of Darkness glare at Takashi and Kohta from the stage as they glare back from the ring before we went to commercial.

(Commercial Break)

Returning from commercial, the camera seems to be on the floor as light footsteps were heard before it became louder. Then two feet are seen walking as it went to a quick static before the camera got picked up. It revealed the person picking up was Hector Ambrose of The SHIELD. A small static met before Ambrose began to speak into it.

"Attention, ACW Universe," Hector calls before turning the camera to Erik Rollins.

"Attention, Eddward Remington," Erik says before the camera turns back to Hector.

"Attention, Eddy McGee," the camera turns to David Reigns.

"Attention, Edward James," David says before the camera turns to Luke Smith.

"Attention, Duke Devlin," Luke smirks. "WE...are The SHIELD."

"On June 7th, a certain...arrogant TV Champion...paid the price," Hector states. "When we sent him through a table, it was a message well sent. Now people say it was uncalled for— that he didn't deserve it. Guess what, people? He DID."

"After what we've seen on May 31st when Duke Devlin returned to ACW," David says, "it disgusted us how the 'Whole Damn Show' managed to get away from a chair shot by James Griffin so EASILY. Duke Devlin was standing tall...UNTOUCHABLE... NO Justice...at all... That was when we came in."

"We decided to teach him a lesson he WOULDN'T forget...but unfortunately, Justice could not be served as the Erupting Eds - Ed, Edd, n Eddy - PCUW's own lovable stable since the beginning of that company INTERCEPTED us from doing what we're supposed to do," Luke says. "And that was to take out the Television Champion."

"THAT was something we COULD NOT allow to be let away AT ALL. But soon...heh, Justice was OFFICIALLY served on June 7th when Duke Devlin— the soon-to-be FORMER Television Champion," Erik says. "The Eds, however...just cannot let it go."

"They INTERCEPTED us once again...but they were too late, heh... Devlin FINALLY paid the price and Justice was Served. One problem, though...we're just getting started," Luke chuckles. "As everyone knows...there are a total of 206 bones in the average human body. For Duke...we've broken his ribs and back when we sent him through a table. Soon...at Reign in Blood...not only will I break EVERY bone in his body...I'll also be taking what's precious of him: The ACW Television Championship. Now...for the people who are BLINDED by corruption...you think that we're doing this to ruin the poor rookie's career, but that's a BIG LIE. We are doing this in the name of Justice."

"And...with Luke Smith by our side, there's no doubt that we'll have another piece of gold in our hands," Hector proclaims. "We already have the ACW Trio Tag Team Championships. Why not take away what BELONGS to Justice? Since we'll be TAKING one piece of gold...we'll also be defending three as well."

"We, the Hounds of Justice, will be defending our Trio Tag Titles against the Erupting Eds after they made their return to ACW post-match of ours at Spring Breakdown. They think they have the upper hand?" David queries. "...Might as well find out if they REALLY do...or will they be the next victims to FEEL the vicious teeth of the Hounds. Duke has already fallen...and we'll make him fall again. That goes out to Ed...Edd...and Eddy...by the time we're done serving Justice to you...The SHIELD shall be the ones STANDING TALL with Trio and TV gold while you all...will be ones left lying on the mat...COVERED...in your own blood."

"Ambrose..."

"Rollins..."

"Reigns..."

"Smith..."

"All four of you...Devlin...McGee...Remington...James...ALL OF YOU...will FALL under Justice," Ambrose proclaims.

"You will BELIEVE in JUSTICE," Rollins says.

"You will BELIEVE in The SHIELD," Smith says.

"BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!" Reigns hollers.

Hector then puts the camera down on the floor and he and The SHIELD walks away. It immediately goes into static as it changes to the interview setup with Mike "The Mic" Martin standing by the ACW Television Duke Devlin; cheers are heard inside the arena.

"Duke Devlin, as of two weeks ago, we saw you answering to Luke Smith calling you out, but only for you to end up through a table by The SHIELD. Do you believe that come Reign in Blood, Luke will do what he says he'll do to you? Do you believe that at all?" Mike asks.

"...Mike...you're asking a guy like as if he has NO confidence in himself. Don't you remember what things I've done in this business since I began here?" Duke asks. "I was the first guy around here to become the ACW Television Champion. All of this while being a ROOKIE. I am the first-ever TV Champ and the FIRST rookie to win a belt on his VERY debut in ACW history. I did all that BY MYSELF. I fought Marcus King in a good ol' fashioned Hardcore Match and won. It's the whole reason why I am," Duke then uses the RVD taunt as the crowd chants along, "the WHOLE...DAMN...SHOW. Yeah, I'm cocky, but at least I can admit I am. I can brag about what I've done in this company because I can back it up. In fact...to quote a favorite song of mine from Kid Rock himself...'It ain't braggin' motherf%ker if ya back it up'... And by Reign in Blood, I'll be backing it up once again after I defeat Luke Smith and defend my TV belt successfully. Sure, they may have put me through a table...but that was two weeks ago, and I'm standing here before you, man. And tonight...speaking of backing it up...I got one tonight." Duke looks to his left as we see Eddward Remington standing next him as the crowd cheers in reaction. "And by tonight, we'll be showing two members of the Hounds of 'Justice' what it means when you underestimate the Whole Damn Show and the Eds. Ready, Double D?"

"Ready when you are, Mr. Devlin," Edd nods.

"Heh, let's go..." he grins.

Duke and Edd leave the interview setup as the camera changes back to the announce table with Kenji, Zack, Barney, and Markiplier.

"Well, from both sides, the TV and Trio Titles scene is gonna get more and more interesting," Zack says. "The SHIELD states that Duke shouldn't even be Champion considering of the...episode four weeks ago with Duke and James. They do kind of have a point there. Duke, however, even though he just paid the price, he's still standing, and I'll admit, I admire that."

"Heh, I'll give Duke credit for his confidence, but it definitely won't be enough to beat Luke Smith at Reign in Blood," Barney affirms. "As The SHIELD stated, Injustice has been taken place and the Hounds of Justice won't allow this kind of stuff to get away. Devlin will pay the price again, and he'll do so along with the idiotic Eds."

"Say what you like, Stinson, but Duke and the Eds won't be going down so easily," Kenji comments. "The real justice here is The SHIELD being put down once and for all."

The crowd goes into loud boos as the lights turn light blue all around the arena. Walking down the arena steps were both Erik Rollins and Luke Smith as they both make their way to the ring. Once they arrived near the barricade, Luke gets across it followed by Rollins. Both men slide into the ring and face the crowd with raised right fists. Rollins shouts, "BELIEVE...in Justice!" and Smith shouts next, "BELIEVE...in The SHIELD!"

"The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing The SHIELD, from Chicago, Illinois and San Antonio, Texas respectfully, at a combined weight of 390 pounds, Erik Rollins and Luke Smith!" announces Maria.

"One-third of the Trio Tag Team Champions Erik Rollins with the could-be Television Champion Luke Smith," Zack says. "These two look for—"

"'Could-be'? 'COULD-BE'? Have you have no brains, Zachery?!" Barney interferes. "Luke Smith is the SOON-TO-BE Television Champion after what message he and the rest of The SHIELD sent to the Eds and Devlin. Learn THAT in your thick skull!"

"...How about you don't interrupt me, please?"

"Look, getting to the point here, Smith and Rollins are gonna show what they means to be the Hounds of Justice, and by how they said in their promo, it seems they're gonna do what they can to take Duke's belt away and defend the Trio Titles successfully," Markiplier states.

The crowd changes into loud cheers as the lights turn dark all around the arena before green pyro started raining down near Eddward "Double D" Remington, who appears standing at the stage between the pyro, with his back turned on the ring. He instantly turns to face the cheering crowd with a large smile on his face and his arms thrown to the side as the lights turn back on with a dim green color. He smiles upon the crowd before looking at Smith and Rollins glaring at him. Edd, with his arms splayed, makes a DX crotch chop, signaling green pyro to shoot up from the stage in formation of an X three times before making a huge one with one last crotch chop. He starts walking down the ramp and high-fives fans along the way. He soon stops at ringside, now glaring at the two SHIELD members.

"And their opponent, representing the Erupting Eds, from Peach Creek, weighing in at 190 pounds, Edd Remington!" Maria announces.

"Here comes the brains of the Eds, Edd 'Double D' Remington! From what we've known most recently, this Brainy Ed is known to be a contestant in the Dragon Ball tourney in WWE: Animated," Markiplier says. "And from what I see here, Edd's happy to be here, but you can QUITE tell the glares he's sharing with The SHIELD."

"Indeed, Mark. Since his and the Eds' return on Spring Breakdown, they sent a very clear message that they still want to get back at The SHIELD for taking them out, save Eddy, and they also want their Trio gold," Zack states.

"Yeah, and Kenji will get laid," Barney jokes as Kenji glares at him. "I really don't see WHAT is in this dork that everybody loves. He may be the brains of his fellow dorks, but he's the weakest link of the Eds and THAT is a fact!"

("One of Kind" by Breaking Point)

[One of a kind!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

One of a kind!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

One of a kind!]

The crowd continues the loud cheers as red pyro explodes at the top of the Titantron and 'The Whole Damn Show' Duke Devlin comes out to the stage with the Television Championship around his waist and a cocky smirk upon his face. He stops at the middle of the ramps and points to himself with his thumbs à la Rob Van Dam, "The *crowd joins in* Whole...Damn...Show!" The TV Champ stands by Edd and they both get into the ring (Edd slides in as Duke rolls in) and make quick glares at Luke and Erik before stepping onto adjacent corners. Duke stands on his side making an RVD pose again while Edd poses at his side, splaying his arms out before crossing his arms in formation of an X.

"And his partner, from Domino City, Japan, weighing in at 141 pounds, he is the ACW Television Champion, 'The Whole Damn Show' Duke Devlin!" Maria announces.

"The first-ever ACW Television Champion Duke Devlin coming in action since since his return and is ready to fight tonight against two members of The SHIELD— one of them being his opponent at Reign in Blood for the belt around his waist," Zack says. "Since two weeks ago he's been put through a table, Duke looks like he's in his cocky, arrogant form, yet is serious as well."

"Yeah, that's gonna help him," Barney rolls his eyes. "Perhaps this kid hasn't been through enough tables yet to get the messages that Luke is taking away what BELONGS to him. Cockiness won't get you anywhere, kid!"

"It got him the Television Title in the ring and a girl outside the ring. Say something about THAT," Kenji smirks.

"...Shut up."

Duke and Edd step down from the corners and both teams went their respective ones. After short discussions, it was decided that Edd and Luke would start it off first. The ref signals for the bell to ring and the sound of is made. Edd and Luke circle the ring, looking to see who gets the upper hand first. Edd offers a Test of Strength and Luke quickly accepts it. Both continue the battle before Luke twists Edd's arms and gives him a straight kick in the midsection. Edd is bent over and Smith Mat Slams him hard! He picks him up and Scoop Slams him followed by a Leaping Knee Drop to the face. Double D sits up holding his face as Luke makes a quick tag to Erik. Both SHIELD members bounce off the ropes and give Edd a double Running Big Boot to the face! Smith exits onto the apron as Erik quickly covers with the hook of the leg; 1... Edd kicks out. Erik brings him up and looks to Suplex him...but Edd wraps his right leg around Erik's left leg, stopping him from doing so. With this, Edd delivers a knee shot to the gut...then another...then a third...a fourth...and a fifth and Erik lets go, holding his abdomen and bent over. Edd backs away and lands an Enzuigiri across the skull!

"By goodness, I think I heard his skull crack echo around here!" Zack comments. "Edd and Duke might get the early win here."

Erik, however, rolls away into the corner and slowly picks himself up. As soon as he stood, a Shining Wizard from Edd— He hits the turnbuckle instead when Erik moved out of the way in the nick of time! Apparently, Double D has hurt his knee when he hit the turnbuckle. Erik grabs him from behind and sets him at the top. He grabs his head from behind, runs forward, and lands a devastating Neckbreaker. Rollins makes the pin; 1, 2... Kick out at two by Edd. Though the neck is hurt, Edd still aids his slightly injured knee...and Erik sees it. A smirk grows on his face as he steps back a bit for Edd to get up. Double D manages to stand, but gets taken down from Rollins' Chop Block to the knee Edd injured just earlier. Remington holds his right knee in agony before Rollins grabs the leg and gives straight kicks to the injured knee. He continues the kicks before holding the leg and landing a DDT to it, bringing more damage to it. Erik drags Edd by his leg to the ropes and places the injured limb on the bottom rope. Erik uses the ropes to leap himself up high and lands a rope-aided Knee Drop on the injured leg! Edd rolls away in absolute pain, writhing from his knee, as Rollins smirks arrogantly. He goes over to the brainy Ed, grabs his injured leg, turns him over, and locks in the One-legged Boston Crab. Edd shouts in agony as Erik leans back, bring pressure into the leg. The ref checks Double D to see if he wants to quit, but Edd shakes his head, letting him know he wants to keep going.

"Right now, Rollins is zeroing in on the now-injured leg of Double D with the Half-Boston Crab," Kenji observes. "This could be huge trouble for Edd and Duke if he doesn't make the tag here."

"If Erik can keep this up, he may be able to break Sockhead's scrawny leg at this point," Barney says.

Duke grabs hold of the tag string as he shouts for Edd to make it out. He even starts slapping the turnbuckle pad rhythmically and the crowd follows along with rhythmic claps. The claps start going faster as Edd raises his head up, hearing the crowd clapping for him. He stands on his hands and Erik continues to pull back at the bad leg. Edd manages to turn himself around and grab one of Rollins' leg, making him fall back. Edd rolls back to his feet and nails a Shining Wizard to Erik's face with his good knee! The crowd is cheering in excitement as Edd stands behind the ropes on the apron. Bad leg be damned, he wanted to do this. As soon as Erik stood up holding his jaw, Edd springboards off the ropes and connects the Forearm Smash (Markiplier: Bad knee be damned, Edd took a risk and he makes that unbelievable forearm! ; Barney: Erik better pick something up because this isn't working out so well for him and Smith!) Both Remington and Rollins lie on their backs on the canvas, exhausted. The ref checks both competitors before making the count— Edd suddenly kips up to a surprised cheering reaction! He winces in pain from the damaged leg, but he shakes it off. Edd stands at an empty corner...Erik stumbles to his feet...and Edd looks for the Superkick...only for Rollins to catch the foot! Erik throws the foot aside and Elbows— Edd backflips and makes the Loss of Intelligence (Pelé Kick)!

"Loss of Intelligence! Double D nails the maneuver onto Erik's skull!" Zack exclaims. "Erik made a rookie mistake by not taking out Edd's bad leg and he paid the price with that backflip kick to the head!"

"Damn it, Rollins! How couldn't you see that coming!" Barney shouts. "Crap, both he and the dork are down and one of them could make the tag here! C'mon, Erik! Make it, man!"

Duke and Luke grab their own tag strings from their corners as they have their arms extended out for a tag. Erik and Edd crawl to their corners, dragging themselves to tag out. The crowd stomps and claps for Edd, hoping he can make it to Duke. Rollins tags in Smith...and runs in...

...

...and Edd makes the tag as well! Devlin leaps from the top and lands a Diving Savate Kick to the chest! Luke gets up and a Spinning Heel Kick to the face by Devlin! Smith gets up once again and Devlin whips him to the ropes. Duke looks for another Spinning Heel Kick, but Smith ducks it and kicks Devlin straight in the gut. Smith then drapes the arm over his head and lifts him up for a Vertical Suplex. He looks to nail a Front Suplex Slam...but Duke was able to get him in the Small Package! Shoulders are down; 1, 2... Luke kicks out at 2.95! Both men roll to their feet and Duke kicks him in the gut before draping the arm over his head, lifting him up in a Suplex position, and nails the Snake Eyes! As Duke gets up, he sees Luke is near the apron on his back and sees the ropes far from his left. A smirk cracked on his face and he stands by the side of Luke before making a pose à la RVD, "The *crowd joins in* WHOLE...DAMN...SHOW!" He runs to the ropes, bounces off of them, rolls forward, springs up, and lands the Dice Roll (Rolling Thunder)! After landing that Senton, Duke drags Luke near a corner and leaps up to the top turnbuckle. He stands high, another RVD pose, dives off for the Five-Star Frog Splash...

...

...

...NO! Erik pushes him off and Smith gets out of the way, causing Duke to crash onto the canvas!

"Where did Rollins come from!?" Kenji yells. "He just pushed Devlin off the turnbuckle!"

"He managed to save his partner from doom as well! Well done, Rollins! Well done!" Barney gives a thumbs up.

With Devlin writhing in pain from his midsection, Smith grabs Duke by the head and forces him to his feet. He drapes the arm over, looking for the Silversmith...but he pushes Devlin away as he saw something coming at him...

...

...and Edd takes him him down with a Springboard Somersault Senton! After taking him out, Edd sees Erik coming at him with a Clothesline, but ducks it and makes a run for the ropes. He leaps onto the second rope - bad leg be damned again - flips off into a Moonsault, and catches Rollins with the Edd-ucation Assault (Springboard Moonsault onto a standing opponent transitioned into an Inverted DDT)! The crowd cheers loudly over excitement as Edd gets up, nursing his injured limb, before getting taken down with a Chop Block from Luke! The SHIELD member drags him to his feet, lifts him up, and plants him with the Silversmith! Luke kicks him away and goes after Duke—DICE SHOT BY THE TV CHAMP! Devlin brings Smith up into a Vertical Suplex before slamming him down with Snake Eyes! Duke leaps onto the top once again and, wasting little time, dives off, and lands the Five-Star Frog Splash!

"THE FIVE-STAR! FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH BY DUKE DEVLIN!" Zack calls. "ERIK IS OUT AND HE CAN'T HELP LUKE FROM HERE! HE'S GOING FOR THE COVER!"

"NOT LIKE THIS! SMITH, KICK OUT, MAN!" Barney pleads as Duke hooks the leg.

1, 2, 3!

"AND HAAABUSKI! THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE!" Markiplier calls as the bell rang.

("One of a Kind" by Breaking Point)

"Here are your winners, Edd Remington and Duke Devlin!" Maria declares.

Duke rolls off from Luke as he holds his stomach in pain. He stands on both feet and raises a right fist. He sees Edd at the corner nursing his bad leg and helps him up. Smith stands near the barricade with Rollins as he holds his stomach in pain as well from that Frog Splash. Both SHIELD members glare at Edd and Duke as they glared right back at them. Reign in Blood would be the time they settled the score.

"Two weeks away from our third pay-per-view and we'll be seeing two different parts of The SHIELD in their matches with Duke and the Eds," Zack states.

"It's something we're all looking forward to, man," Markiplier nods before the camera changes to show Dante walking to the Gorilla Position with a casual smirk and the U.S. Title draped over his shoulder. "And folks, something bigger I'm looking forward as well is Dante's match against an opponent of Vergil's choice. I wonder who would he be?"

"That we'll find out after we return from the break!" Barney says as we head to commercial.

(Commercial Break)

Returning from the break, the crowd is on their feet, looking forward to see the U.S. Champion come out already. A few "Dante" chants are heard before...

("Shout at the Devil" by Mötley Crüe)

[Shout! Shout! Shout!

...

Shout! Shout! Shout!

Shout at the devil!]

The crowd bursts into loud cheers as the lights turn crimson red and Dante walks out the stage with a smirk on his face and the U.S. Title draped over his shoulder. Dante walks at the ramps and as the lyrics kick in, Dante points to the right and the fans say, "Shout!" Then at the left and they say, "Shout!" Then both sides, "Shout!" After that, it repeats, "Shout!...Shout!...Shout!", then Dante cups his hands around his mouth and shouts to the crowd, "Shout at the Devil!" before throwing a fist at the camera and—"BOOM!"—fire explodes from the stage! He walks backwards to the camera with his arms splayed as his back is turned. Dante turns back around and struts up to the steps and looks to the crowd before entering the ring. He walks to the turnbuckle at his left in front of him, stands on the second rope, points both hands with his index finger and thumb like guns and "shoots" at the crowd before stepping down and taking off his coat.

"The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the ACW United States Champion, Dante!" Maria announces.

"ACW's first-ever United States Champion Dante of the original Devil May Cry series set for tonight's match after making some interesting deals with his twin brother Vergil," Zack says. "As of last week, it's said Dante faces an opponent of Vergil's choice and it's vise versa for him."

"Then on the go-home show," Kenji continues for Zack, "Dante and Vergil choose the wrestlers that will face each other and if Dante's wrestler wins, he gets to pick the stipulation of the match. If Vergil's wrestler wins, vice versa as well."

"To me, guys...this going to be an interesting two weeks between both sons of Sparda," Markiplier says. "This rivalry HAS been going on since the very beginning of ACW and all three months of this rivalry shall be led up to Reign in Blood."

[Halo over my demise

("Halo" by Machine Head)

The crowd goes into a mixed reaction filled with cheers and boos as the ACW Intercontinental Champion "The Dark Saint" Mason Stone walks out to the stage with the belt around his waist. Mason looks throughout the crowd and nods before walking down the ramps. He steps into the ring and gets on the second turnbuckle with raised fists.

"And his opponent, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 210 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion, 'The Dark Saint' Mason Stone!" Maria announces.

"Hey, look who's back! The first-ever ACW Intercontinental Champion Mason Stone!" Markiplier said. "We haven't seen him much in action since his tag match with Marcus King."

"So this is Vergil's choice of Dante's opponent...things are about to get interesting here, man," Kenji says with a small smirk. "What Vergil has done is create a match between the United States Champion and the Intercontinental Champion. Champion versus Champion Match right here!"

"And from the look of Dante's face, he looks he's going to have a lot of fun with this," Barney says. "Knowing him...it's obviously true."

Dante, standing against his corner, smirks the entire time when Mason showed up. His face tells he's gonna have fun with this one. Mason stands at his respective corner and the ref checks if both men are ready. They nod and the official calls for the bell. Dante and Mason circle around the ring for a bit before going into lock-up, but Dante ducks him. He wags his finger to Mason, saying he ain't gonna get him that easily while having a smirk on his face. Stone chuckles off-mic, "Okay...that's how it's gonna be..." The Dark Saint and the Crimson Sparda circle each other again and go for the lock-up once more, and Dante just ducks Stone again. Dante backs up to a corner with a smirk and lies on the top, obviously not taking this match seriously as the fans chuckles upon his antics. The ref tells him to get off as Mason looked a bit annoyed by it now.

"Uh...Dante's not taking this seriously, is he?" Markiplier raises an eyebrow.

"I'm not surprised, really," Zack shrugs. "Dante is the type of guy to not take things seriously until later."

"Well, he should stop the bull and get the match over with!" Barney shouts. "This is a Champion vs. Champion Match over here!"

After the ref was done talking to him, Dante brushes him off and gets off the turnbuckle. Now Dante gestures Mason for the lock-up and they both do so. The Crimson Sparda turns it around with a Side Headlock and brings him on the canvas with the Headlock Takedown. Mason has his shoulder up, making sure he doesn't get pinned. He then wraps his legs around Dante's head to get him to release the Headlock and Dante pushes himself out of it. Both men stand up, run at opposite ropes, come back to each other, and Dante brings Mason down with a Clothesline. He makes a run for the ropes, Mason flips onto his abdomen, and Dante leaps over him. Mason stands up and leaps for a Dropkick, but Dante stops himself at the ropes, therefore, making Stone going for the Dropkick too early. Dante smirks as Mason gets up and he motions him to come at him. Without thinking, Stone just charges at the arrogant U.S. Champ and said champion pulls the top rope down, making Mason fall over the top to the outside. Dante stands up and chuckles at this while Stone seems to be very irritated as of now. He stands up and looks to get back in the ring and Dante catches him off with the Slingshot Plancha! (Zack: Whoa! ...Okay, THAT I didn't see coming! Dante just caught Mason off with that Crossbody ; Barney: Oh, NOW he starts to get serious!) Dante stands on his feet and raises an index finger up, inciting cheers from the crowd. He grabs Mason, but the Dark Saint throws him over into the steel steps!

"Ooh, Mason just slammed Dante right into the steel steps!" Markiplier winces. "I think the Dark Saint is showing he's not messing around here."

"For once, I am cheering for this dude to show Dante what happens when you underestimate your opponents," Barney nods.

As Dante nurses his back, Mason grabs him by the head and slams his skull off the steps! He falls back and Mason brings him up to throw him into the ring. Mason slides in and delivers the elbow onto the back of Dante's head and covers; 1... Dante kicks out. Stone grabs him by his head and brings him up to the corner. Stone starts sending kicks to the midsection of Dante as he stomps away. He continues the kicks until he starts delivering Shoulder Thrusts into the midsection. Mason then backs up from the corner, sprints at the U.S. Champion, and nails a Sting— Dante moves out of the way! Mason hits chest first to the turnbuckle corner! As Mason backs away from the corner, Dante catches him with the Devil Trigger (Jumping Reverse Bulldog)! He hooks both legs; 1...

...

2...

...

Mason kicks out at 2.85! Dante picks him up and whips him to the ropes. Mason bounces off and gets taken down by a Flying Forearm Smash from Dante and he kips up. Stone slowly gets to his feet and Dante picks him up at his shoulders, Fireman's Carry-style, and makes the Rebellion— MASON PUSHES HIM OFF! Dante turns around and Breaking the Light! (Kenji: Breaking the Light by the Intercontinental Champion! That may be it for Dante! ; Barney: Ladies and gents, in the words of my good friend, Vegeta, this is...) He covers him; 1 (Game!)...

...

2... (Set!)...

...

...

...

...

...

Dante gets the foot on the bottom rope!

"MAT—EHHHHH!? What the hell just happened?!"

"The U.S. Champion got his foot on the rope!" Zack shouts. "He manages to get the rope break!"

Stone sees the rope break and runs his hands through his hair in frustration as he just can't keep Dante down. Mason backs away and decides to measure him up again for Breaking the Light. Dante helps himself up with the ropes and shakes the dizziness from his head off. He faces Mason and Breaking the Light...

...

...

...DOESN'T CONNECT AS DANTE GRABS HIS LEGS! He stands, holding Mason upside-down with his legs wrapped around his arms, and catapults him to the turnbuckle corner, making him hit face-first into the top pad! Stone stumbles back from the corner and Dante takes him down with a Flying Forearm Smash after bouncing off the ropes and a kip-up by the Crimson Sparda! The Intercontinental Champion stands and Dante ducks the Clothesline. Both turn to each other and Dante catches him with a Reverse Atomic Drop. He follows it with a Scoop Slam and climbs to the top turnbuckle. He stands tall on the turnbuckle with a confident smirk...dives off...slaps the back of the elbow...and connects a Diving Elbow Drop! (Markiplier: Elbow Drop in the shades of HBK!) Dante leaps up to his feet and now gets the crowd pumped up à la Shawn Michaels! (Kenji: And the crowd is already loving it from the Crimson Sparda!) Dante now measures Stone from behind. The Dark Saint staggers to his feet, Dante locks him in the Inverted Facelock, and plants Mason with the Devil May Cry (Spinning Lifting Inverted DDT)!

"A brand new move by Dante called 'Devil May Cry'! That one looked devastating!" Markiplier says.

"Folks, in the words of Jeremy Ellis, you might as well..."

Dante hooks the leg; 1...

"Set it!"

2...

"And..."

"Forget it!" Zack completed as the bell rings. "Dante is the winner!"

("Shout at the Devil" by Mötley Crüe)

"Here is your winner, the United States Champion, Dante!" Maria declares.

Dante stands and raises both index fingers in the air as the ref holds one of his arms up, signalling him as the winner. He then passes Dante his U.S. Title belt and he raises it high with both arms. Mason lies in his corner, holding his head, as the ref passes him his Intercontinental Belt. Dante walks up to him and helps him up. Stone was a bit surprised as Dante pats his shoulder, letting him know he did good. The Dark Saint nods and tells him that he'll do better next time and exits the ring. Dante smirks and stands at the corner with the U.S. Title raised high. That is until...

[You'll die as you lived

In the flash of the blade

In a corner forgotten away

You lived for the touch

("Flash of the Blade" by Avenged Sevenfold)

The crowd turns to an immediate mix of reaction filled with cheers and boos as the lights turn dark blue and Vergil comes out to the stage with a cold, expressionless look on his face. Dante sees him...and gives out the same cocky smirk he head before and steps down from the corner. Vergil stands the stage, looking at his twin with the stoic, cold stare. Both twin sons of Sparda stare down from far distances as Dante holds up his U.S. Title.

"Folks, I think you already know what's coming up next. Vergil's match against Dante's choice of his opponent!" Markiplier announces. "We're gonna find out who it is after the break!"

(Commercial Break)

We return from the break and we see Vergil in the ring, just...standing there with his coat off, looking at the stage for his opponent to come out as "Flash of the Blade" by Avenged Sevenfold continues playing.

"The following contest is set for one-fall! Introducing first, standing in the ring, weighing in at 231 pounds, Vergil!" Maria announces.

"Welcome back, folks, to ACW and we'll be seeing Vergil in action in just a second as soon as his opponent comes out," Zack notes. "And as well we know WHO it is."

"Whoever Dante pick probably will be too easy for Verge to even beat, man," Barney scoffs.

"Uh, you do know I'm sitting right here, right?" Dante asks as he is sitting back at the announce table with his feet on the table and relaxing. "And besides, the guy I picked as Verge's opponent isn't as you THINK he is, Barn-boy. I think you'll be very surprised, heh..."

"...Why did we let you sit here again?"

"Why not? Besides, I feel comfy here."

"Anyways, we all know what the question is running through our minds as of now," Kenji implies. "We know who Dante's opponent was and that was the Intercontinental Champion Mason Stone."

"And we're about to find out who Vergil's opponent is...right now," Markiplier says.

Vergil's music slowly turns down as he continues staring at the stage with no emotion. He slowly glaces at his left side of the crowd, who continue the mixed reaction of cheers and boos, before looking back at the stage. He waits for his opponent to come out...then...

The crowd POPS LOUDLY as Kenshin Himura walks out to the stage and he looks throughout the cheering fans with a small smile. He nods to them and walks his way down to the ring. He enters the squared circle and sees Vergil looking at him, still coldly, yet slightly surprised by his appearance. The Wandering Samurai stands on the turnbuckle and holds up an index finger as the crowd is still popping for him.

"And his opponent, making his debut into ACW, from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 126 pounds, 'The Legendary Battōsai' KENSHIN HIMURA!" Maria announces excitingly.

"OH...MY...GOD! IT'S KENSHIN HIMURA! KENSHIN FREAKIN' HIMURA IS IN ACW!" Markiplier shouts happily seeing the ECW Legend. "KENSHIN IS VERGIL'S OPPONENT TONIGHT!"

"THIS MAN IS A LEGEND IN ECW: BLOOD & INK AND WWE: ANIMATED! THIS SAMURAI WAS KNOWN TO BE AS AN ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE LEGENDARY ANIME DYNASTY, AND THE ONLY MAN ALONG WITH SANOSUKE SAGARA TO KNOCK OUT THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAYIAN BROLY HIMSELF!" Zack says. "THIS SAMURAI IS BACK AND IS HERE IN AC-FREAKING-W! DANTE, HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HIM?!"

"Easy...I managed to get a nice talk from him. We had tea and all and that's pretty much when I asked him to be Vergil's opponent," Dante answers coolly. "He did say rumors said about him debuting already, so...why not have him debut against my bro? He agreed and...well, there ya go."

"...Well...all in all as of now...it's Vergil versus Kenshin Himura... The elder son of Sparda versus the Legendary Battōsai...Swordsman versus Swordsman...both in ONE squared circle..." Kenji states.

Kenshin and Vergil stand at their respective corners and the ref soon calls for the bell. Kenshin stands ready in front of Vergil as the elder son of Sparda stood perfectly still, staring at Kenshin with emotionless eyes. Kenshin's facial expression turns to a serious one and both samurais engage in a collar-and-elbow lock-up. Kenshin gets behind Vergil with the Waistlock and Vergil looks for the Back Elbow, but only for Kenshin to duck and has his head under his armpit. Kenshin lifts him up for the Back Suplex, but drops his back on his left knee with a Backbreaker. Vergil nurses his lower back as he backs up to the ropes and Kenshin grabs his arm and Irish Whips him. Vergil comes back and a Running Knee Lift to Himura's face! Vergil grabs him by the head and lifts him up in a Fireman's Carry. He looks for a Fireman's Carry Neckbreaker, but Kenshin stands in front of him, kicks him in the gut, and plants him with a DDT. Kenshin makes a cover, but Vergil kicks out. Now Himura drags Vergil up and nails a Knife Edge Chop to the chest, inciting loud "Woos" from the crowd. Vergil winces...before making a Backhand Chop of his own to Kenshin's chest, inciting a second loud "Woos" from the crowd. Kenshin winces as well...and nails a Spinning Side Kick to the gut of Vergil and runs to the ropes. He bounces off and Vergil catches him with Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker.

"A Side Kick from Himura and Vergil counters with that Backbreaker," Zack observes. "This seems to be going back and forth between both men."

"I guess I can admit the old samurai's still got it, but Vergil's the one that'll pick up the win here!" Barney says.

"You are too damn obvious to know, man," Dante comments.

Vergil stands drops the elbow onto Kenshin's chest and hooks the leg; 1, 2... Kenshin kicks out at two. Vergil drags him up to his feet and pushes him to the ropes. Himura bounces back and gets slammed on the mat with a Spinebuster from Vergil. He covers again; 1, 2... Another kick out by the Wanderer. Vergil drags Kenshin up and nails a Forearm Smash across the skull. He has him at the corner and begins stomping away on the former battōsai. He continues the vicious stomps to the chest until the ref pulled him away. He holds his hands up in defense, letting him know he's backing off. As Kenshin is recovering in the corner, Vergil stands back against his own...sprints towards Himura, and nails his face with the Face Wash! (Kenji: Ruthless aggression being displayed by Vergil against Kenshin with that kick to the face. ; Dante: That's obviously something my bro's been hiding all that time. He ain't gonna fully display it till our match.) Vergil backs away as Kenshin nurses his jaw. The elder son of Sparda grabs Kenshin by his feet, lifts him high, and plants him with an Alley Oop Powerbomb. He's him pinned; 1, 2... Kenshin kicks Vergil's head with both feet. Vergil rolls away, stands, and receives a large Dropkick from Himura! The samurai brings Vergil up and throws him over the top rope. Vergil hands onto the ropes and stands on the apron...only for him to be taken out of the ring with a Triangle Dropkick from Kenshin!

"Vergil is thrown out and Kenshin with that Dropkick, sending him out of the ring for good!" Kenji calls. "It seem the former samurai is taking control so far."

"And that ain't good for Vergil, he's gotta find a way to take back the momentum in this one," Barney states. "C'mon, Vergil. Show this old samurai you're a real one!"

As Vergil is recovering on the outside, Kenshin climbs to the top turnbuckle and scales Vergil from there. Vergil turns around and Kenshin dives off for the Stinger Splash...and Vergil pushes him aside onto the barricade! (Barney: Hey, THERE it is, Vergil! Now you're getting it! ; Dante: That's my bro for ya. ; Zack: Chest-first onto the barricade! Kenshin has got to be hurt after that.) Kenshin falls onto the floor, clutching his chest, and Vergil picks him up. He then RAMS Kenshin's back straight onto the apron! He doesn't stop, however, as he RAMS Kenshin, this time, into the barricade! Kenshin falls to the floor and then Vergil brings him back into the ring. He slides in and turns Kenshin over for the cover, but gets a near-fall at two. He runs a hand through his hair and brings Kenshin to his feet. When he did, Kenshin nails a surprise right hand to the jaw! Vergil staggers back from that strike and Kenshin whips him to the corner. He hits chest-first into the corner and Kenshin hits a Double Knee Strike straight to the spine of Vergil! He staggers back and Kenshin runs up to the corner in front of him, bounces off from it, and nails a Crossbody! He has both legs hooked! 1...2... VERGIL MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT 2.89! Both men stand up...Kenshin attempts a Clothesline...Vergil catches the arm...drapes the arm over...lifts him up...and plants him with the Power of Sparda (Vertical Suplex Powerbomb)!

"The Power of Sparda displayed right there onto the Battōsai! Sparda's power possibly sent into Vergil with that move!" Markiplier exclaims.

"Go for the cover, man! It's all over right here!" Barney says as Vergil hooked the leg. "Folks, from Vegeta once more, this is..."

1...

"Game!"

2...

"Set!"

...

...

...

...

...Kenshin kicks out at 2.999999!

"Ma—ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? WHY WON'T YOU STAY DOWN?!"

"Kenshin still fights on...heh, not bad," Dante smirks.

Vergil ran his hands through his hair in shock and frustration right now. He glances at Dante, who is still smirking, and glares at him. He stands up and begins shouting at him...as Kenshin is on all fours and sees Vergil distracted. Dante just sat at his seat with his cocky smirk and Vergil scoffs at him. He turns around to get Kenshin...

...

...

...

...only to get tripped and fall onto the second rope! Kenshin makes a run for the ropes, bounces off, comes back...and nails Vergil with the Wanderer's Code (Tiger Feint Kick to the head of an opponent draped over the second rope)! (Markiplier: Wanderer's Code by the Battōsai! Vergil let his anger and frustration distract him and Kenshin caught him with it! ; Barney: Damn it all, man! I blame YOU for all this, Dante! ; Dante: Hey, don't look at me, man. I'm just in my seat.) As the crowd is popping loudly, Kenshin sits on the apron while holding onto the top rope as he pants and sees Vergil getting up. He quickly stands on the apron, leaps onto the rope, springboards off for a Leg Lariat...and connects—POWERBOMB BY VERGIL!

"VERGIL COMES BACK WITH A POWERBOMB!" Barney exclaims. "KENSHIN WENT FOR THE LEG LARIAT, BUT VERGIL SAW IT COMING!"

Vergil immediately drags Kenshin to his feet, drapes the arm over, and lifts him at the other side of the ropes. He drags onto the top rope and has him hung-up from there by his feet as he holds his head. As he holds him up, Vergil glares at Dante for a few moments before planting Kenshin with the Yamato (Rope-hung Cutter)!

"The devastating Yamato by the elder son of Sparda. No way Kenshin's kicking out of that," Markiplier proclaims.

Vergil drags him away from the ropes and hooks the leg while glaring at Dante.

"Guys, you can say that..." Barney begins.

1...

"Kenshin..."

2...

"...is..."

...

...

...

3!

"FINISHED," he completes as the bell rings.

("Flash of the Blade" by Avenged Sevenfold)

"Here is your winner, Vergil!" Maria declares.

Vergil lets go of the leg as he stands and glares at his twin brother from the announce table. Dante took his headset off and stands from his seat, now staring at his brother back. Dante holds the United States Championship high with one arm as he and Vergil continue the stare down.

"Two weeks, ladies and gentlemen...these brothers will go to war at Reign in Blood..." Kenji states. "The Sons of Sparda will collide against each other."

"Oh, man, I just can not wait to see this match— whatever it is that Dante or Verge bring up after next week's match," Barney says. "If the wrestler Dante chose wins, he picks the stipulations of the match. If the wrestler Vergil chose wins, it's the same with him."

"Might as well see what happens on the go-home show of ACW before Reign in Blood," Zack states.

The twin sons of Sparda continue staring each other down from where their at as we head to commercial.

(Commercial break)

We return from the break and we see Clarissa Rivera standing in the interviewer's setup with a microphone in her hand and a beautiful smile on her face.

"Hi, everybody! 'Violet' Clarissa Rivera here to bring you your usual interviews! Before I do my job, I'll say myself personally that I can't wait for Dante versus Vergil to happen. So exciting to see the twins face each other! And speaking of twins...I happen to have another pair of them with me," Clarissa says with a wink. "And by that, I mean this, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome with me at this time, they are known to be the first-ever ACW World Tag Team Champions, Yugi Mutou and Atem, Altered Egos!" The crowd reacts with loud cheers as the camera pans out to show Altered Egos themselves with the Tag Belts around their waists. Yugi, however, looks to be small healed cuts and bandages. "Guys, as of two weeks ago, we witnessed Carter Young and Stan Terra of Alpha & Omega defeating Takashi & Kohta of H.O.T.D. and The Gods of Darkness in a unbelievable Triple Threat Tag Match to become number one contenders for your World Tag Titles. Now Alpha & Omega along with Kendra Daniels, the Rookie Revolution members, have made it no secret that they want to throw you and Téa Gardner out of the spots you've worked hard to get to. They want your Titles and will do anything to get them. Your thoughts on it all?"

Atem speaks up as Yugi doesn't feel like saying anything, "Clarissa we've had a tough couple of days. Yugi was accused of purposely doing something he did on accident by a certain squirrel, and that led to him Spearing said squirrel through some glass. So pardon him if he's a tad silent today, but that entire thing doesn't change this: at Reign of Blood, we're going to allow Stan Terra and Carter Young to step into our world. Our ring. We've gone through hell to get to where we are now and we'll be damned if we let Alpha & Omega run their mouths about how we need to leave or we should give up. Yugi and I have never given up in our lives and we won't be committing that action for a first time tonight. So if they WANT us, they had best come GET us inside the ring, not by running their mouths. We are determined to walk out still your ACW World Tag Team Champions, and that's a fact."

...

...

...

"Nooo, it isn't..."

From off-screen comes Carter Young and Stan Terra of Alpha & Omega to boos from the crowd. Carter had said the line with a giant smirk on his face. Yugi turns to glare at them while Atem shook his head.

"I call BS, my 'friends'. We know you won't beat a couple weeks from now. We know we have your numbers. And we know that everything we have said about you three...you, Yugi-boy, and the brunette...is 100% TRUTH in television." Carter walks closer to Atem and stares him in the eye. "Me and Stan are not guys who'll just lay down for entitled 'legends' like you. We know that you don't have what it takes to hang with the next generation. It's why you can't beat us, because we epitomize the next gen. You two epitomize the last gen and all the problems it had. You don't have the skill, star power, and charisma...if Yuge over there ever had any to begin with...to carry those straps and this Division. Stan and I have that in SPADES. You two and Téa continue to feed your egos. ...But then you realize that, 'What was the hype about The Egos & Téa again?' And that's after everyone else figures it out; you two are pathetic. And it's made even sadder that 'ole Yuge here, the hypocrite, keeps whining about how he didn't mean to 'hit' Coco in WWE and asks Conker to stop, but you know that if Conker hit Téa, he'd go ballistic... You know what, what if me and Stan went over and knocked her around a bit? Yeah, bet Yugi would—"

YUGI HAS HEARD ENOUGH AND GRABS CARTER AND STARTS TO ATTACK HIM! The King of Games tackles Carter and starts going to town on his face with lefts and rights! Stan tries pulling Yugi off, but Atem PUSHES him away and throws him into the wall before beginning a brawl! Security comes around to separate them, and Yugi is PULLED OFF by the officials! Carter gets up and stumbles off to get Stan while Yugi huffs and groans, security holding his arms and shoulders, looking absolutely LIVID. The cameras switch back to the announce table, where the commentators had just saw what happened backstage.

"This rivalry between the Tag Champs and the number one contenders is getting intense every second, guys," Zack proclaims. "With how it just went down, things will probably take a turn for the worse."

"Yeah, worse for poor ole Altered Egos," Barney mockingly shakes his head. "Yugi really should've kept his cool there."

"The only reason Yugi turned angry is because Carter was talking trash about Yugi's own girlfriend along with what he just did on Smackdown which was an accident, dammit!" Kenji retorts. "The damn kid went too far!"

"Yeah, well, Yugi should've watched out when Coco was on the apron. That's Conker's girl, man! You NEVER do that to a lady, even if it was an accident. So, you can't exactly blame Conker fully."

"No, you can't, but still..."

Come on and kiss it, kiss it]

The crowd goes into immense boos as "The Anaconda" Allison Wilson walks out to the state with her hands on her hips and a smug grin on her face. She brushes her hair back and walks her way to the ring with now a hand on her hip like in a model-like way. As she gets closer to the ring, she turns a right before making a left in a corner and gets up on the apron. As soon as she got her leg on the other side of the middle rope and is bent over à la Stacy Keibler, she gives a small sexy smirk along with a wink before entering the ring.

"The following Diva contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, representing Evil Beauty, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 125 pounds, 'The Anaconda' Allison Wilson!" Maria announces.

"Okay, is the building getting hot right now or is it just me? Because, seriously, woo!" Barney howls. "Allison Wilson in the ring representing beauty and HOTNESS right now. God, I am DEFINITELY seeing why she's a former model."

"Yeah, well, keep it in your damn pants, Stinson," Kenji deadpans.

"Allison looks pretty confident in herself, I can tell by that much as she is ready for her first singles match," Markiplier says. "Since her debut into ACW, she has been proven to be an impressive athlete so far along with teaming up with Kendra and Eliza. Not only this match to her is for her to win, but for Evil Beauty as well to show how dominate they can be to the Diva/Knockouts Division."

[Here she comes again, like good medicine

Every step she takes, my blood is flowing

Her legs go on and on for days

She's got a hold on a me, I need the remedy

Just to hold her would be a cure for me

I can't keep going on this way

("With Legs Like That" by Zebrahead)

Jeers turn into loud cheers as Téa Gardner walks out to the stage with the Women's Championship around her waist and blows a kiss to the crowd à la Maria Kanellis before changing her smiling face into a serious expression when she sees Allison in the ring, grinning smugly. She waists little time walking down to the ring and slides under the ring rope to enter. The referee immediately holds her back as Téa already wants at Allison already. She stops and slowly backs away, glaring at the grinning Anaconda.

"And her opponent, from Domino City, Japan, weighing in at 113 pounds, she is the ACW Women's Champion, Téa Gardner!" Maria announces.

"What's going on here is a match right now is set between Allison and Téa after Evil Beauty's assault from last week. Téa requested this match personally and she looks to be trying to get her redemption," Kenji says.

"Benji, with how Téa deserves her just deserts, that's redemption enough for Evil Beauty. Yet, it seems she wants to get her ass handed to Allison as of tonight."

"Overall, guys," Zack says, "redemption is what's on Téa's mind right now. You can see see the fire in her eyes as she wants it bad since the attack last week. But the thing is redemption won't be just on Allison; it'll be also on Kendra come Reign in Blood."

Téa and Allison stand at their respective corners before the referee calls for the bell. As it did, Allison charges at Téa, who moves out of the way and runs to the ropes, and she misses her. Téa bounces off the ropes and takes Allison down with a Lou Thesz Press followed a fury of right fists, unloading on the Anaconda! She continues fists of fury until Allison blocks it and goes on top of Téa, now delivering her own fists to the Women's Champion. Soon, Téa blocks it and gets on top of Allison this time and pins her arms down, having shoulders on the mat; 1... Allison gets a shoulder up, but Téa puts it back down; 1, 2... Quick shoulder up by Allison, Téa puts it down once more, lifts herself up in the air, and Allison catches her with both feet. Téa quickly gets on her feet with Allison in two and is already on her shoulders. The Anaconda flips back for Hurricanrana and connects— Téa flips herself forward with a Sitout Powerbomb to Allison!

"Allison with a Hurricanrana— incredible counter by the Women's Champion with a Powerbomb!" Markiplier says. "Wow, that was unreal, man!"

"How in the hell did she even do that?!" Barney queries. "*Replay* Did she, like...Allison went Hurricanrana perfectly, yet Téa didn't get hit; she only nailed a Powerbomb."

"And now Téa has Allison's shoulders down on the mat," Kenji observes.

The ref counts; 1, 2... Allison kicks out at two! Téa pushes her off and rolls to her feet. Allison stands and receives a Sitout Jawbreaker from Téa. She staggers back, Téa grabs her, drapes the arm over, hooks a leg, and plants Allison with a Bridging Fisherman Suplex; 1, 2... Allison kicks out at a near three-count. (Zack: Man, despite being attacked last week, Téa is on fire right now. She's just going all out on Allison. Quite obvious she's showing a message to her Reign in Blood opponent.) Allison gets herself in a corner and Téa nails a Forearm Smash onto her skull. From this point, she starts stomping a mudhole onto Allison. The referee pulls her off and away from her opponent as he scolds her to take it easy and Allison is recovering. Téa then goes back to Allison, who thumbs her in the eye! (Kenji: Cheap shot! Cheap shot by the Anaconda! ; Barney: Now that's a way to take back control, baby!) Allison quickly gets on the middle rope as Téa nurses her eye and is looking away. The Anaconda grows a snake-like grin, leaps over Téa, and lands a diving Throwback! She quickly hooks a leg; 1, 2... Téa kicks out at 2.68. The brunette slowly sits up, holding her head in agony after that Throwback, as Allison stalks her from behind and lands a rough Soccer Kick to the back of her head!

"Allison taking control and a sick kick to the back of Téa's injured head!" Zack exclaims. "I think Allison may be targeting the injured part of Téa's head from last week!"

"This is plenty smart right here—targeting the very injured part of the human body: the head," Barney says. "Allison keeps zeroing in on that, she'll be able to have complete control of the match."

Téa rolls away onto the apron as she holds her injured head and Allison walks over. She leans over the ropes and grabs Téa by her hair. Allison then runs with Téa in tow on the apron and rams her head into the turnbuckle pad, sending Téa off to the arena floor! As Téa lies on the outside, nursing her head, Allison raises her arms in a haughty manner while wearing a smirk on her face, inciting boos from the crowd. The curly blond woman then rolls out of the ring and grabs Téa by the head. She runs up to the turnbuckle post and rams Téa's skull off the steel! "Oohs" were heard as Téa nurses her head and is on all fours. Allison continues the grin as she stalks up to her from behind and kicks her straight in the ribs. Téa rolls away as she holds her abdomen in pain and Allison gets her up to throw her inside the ring. The Anaconda slides back in and measures her opponent up. As soon as Téa made it to her feet...Allison locks in the Rear-Naked Choke Hold!...but Téa has the arm blocking her submission from being locked fully!

"Allison has that Rear-Naked Choke Hold, but Téa somehow manages to block it from being locked in!" Markiplier says. "The veteran with her experiences catches Allison off."

"No way Téa can block the hold for this long. Just no way," Barney says. "Allison will be taking control in just this very minute!"

Téa continues her very best to keep Allison from having the Choke Hold completed with her arm blocking it. Allison went as far to leap on her back and wrap her legs around the Women's Champion's waist in a Bodyscissors. However, this was going to cost her as Téa runs back to a near corner and rams Allison's back into it! However, the Anaconda doesn't let go easily just yet. Téa then runs to the opposite corner, turns her back, and rams Allison into it. She was very close to letting go of the submission and Téa looks to ram her again to another turnbuckle...but Allison pushes her off! Téa, however, runs up to the turnbuckle...and Whisper in the Wind to the Anaconda! (Kenji: Whisper in the Wind! That was a tribute to her boyfriend, Yugi Mutou!) Making that impressive dive, Téa already picks Allison up and has her on her shoulders. She lifts her up for the Apricot Dominance...and Allison gets behind her with the Rear-Naked Choke Hold! Téa flails her arms around to get out of it, but to no avail. Allison leaps up to wrap her legs around Téa to keep it lock it...wait, Téa manages to nail a Sitout Jawbreaker, countering the move! Allison staggers back, nursing her jaw, and Téa grabs her from behind and plants her with the Apricot's Endgame (Extreme Twist of Fate)!

"Another move in a tribute to Yugi!" Zack exclaims. "She calls that the Apricot's Endgame!"

Téa already hooks the leg and pins her; 1, 2, 3!

"And HAAABUSKI! That's all she wrote!" Markiplier calls.

"Gah! Dammit all, man!" Barney cries out.

("With Legs Like That" by Zebrahead)

"Here is your winner, the ACW Women's Champion, Téa Gardner!" Maria declares.

Téa stands on her knees, grasping her head in agony, but has her arm raised in victory as the referee holds it up. Her arm is let go and she receives her belt back. She heads up to the corner to stand on the second rope and poses with the Women's Title above her head.

"An hurt Women's Champion, but she stands strong somehow in the very end," Kenji says. "This is undoubtedly showing that Kendra should not underestimate her very much."

"She got lucky this time around here, Benji. Just pure luck right here... Wait until Kendra gets her hands on you, you brat," Barney grumbles. "Wait until the REAL Women's Champion takes you out!"

Téa holds the pose proudly for a few moments before stepping down and faces the other side of the crowd and raises the title for them to see, inciting loud cheers. The Apricot Champion had a small smirk just right before...

[And I hate how somehow I always give in

To those lips that can paralyze

Though I know that she is the devil

She's so beautiful, so evil]

("So Beautiful, So Evil" by Digital Summer)

Loud boos rained upon the U.S. Bank Arena as the number one contender for the Women's Championship, Kendra Daniels, walks out to the stage and Téa glares at her from the ring. Soon, Eliza Hart comes out from the backstage standing next to Kendra. Téa puts her Women's Title aside and stands her ground in case Kendra and Eliza go for the attack as they walk to the ring...

...

...but they stop at ringside...

...

...and Allison catches Téa off-guard with the Rear Naked Choke Hold! She takes her down as she wraps the legs around the Women's Champ with the Bodyscissors! Allison keeps the submission hold locked in as Kendra and Eliza slide into the ring and stomp onto Téa only.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Kenji shouts. "A three-on-one assault to the Women's Champion! This should've been just between Kendra and Téa ONLY! Allison and Eliza have nothing to do with this!"

"There's a saying for a group like these, Benji! 'All for one and one for all!'" Barney quotes. "That's what the Three Musketeers said and this is what Evil Beauty is representing!"

As they continue the vicious stomping on Téa, Allison lets go of her and drags her to her feet. She puts her head between her legs and looks to drill Téa with the Package Piledriver...but Kendra stops her for a moment. The Anaconda raises an eyebrow in confusion as Kendra gains a grin and motions her to give Téa to her instead. Allison returns the grin with her own and passes the brunette to Daniels. The number one contender has her in the Side Headlock and just talks trash to the Women's Champion...and looks to drill the Daniels Driver to Téa...

...

...

...but the crowd suddenly cheers...

...

...

...when the ACW Women's Tag Team Champions Hinata Hyuga & Samantha Hart come sprinting to the ring to save Téa from any more damage! Evil Beauty runs out of there! Kendra, Allison, and Eliza run through the barricade as the Tag Champs are livid. Samantha stands at the second rope, shouting for their Reign in Blood opponents to step in the ring and fight as Hinata glares at them while aiding the Women's Champion. Hinata helps her up as Evil Beauty stand in the crowd, glaring right back at their Reign in Blood opponents as well.

"Evil Beauty were so close to actually take Téa out before Reign in Blood, but the Women's Tag Team Champions came just in time," Zack says.

"Well, thank goodness for Hinata and Samantha coming in quickly," Kenji says in relief. "If they hadn't come in time, Téa probably wouldn't even be in condition for Reign in Blood."

"I believe it's too late for that, Benji," Barney remarked. "Evil Beauty has already done the damage to this little brat last week and they delivered a lot more this time before those lame-o Women's Tag Champs stuck their noses into Evil Beauty's business."

"Um, technically, Barney, they had every right to get into this since Evil Beauty - well, Eliza and Allison, mostly - are the number one contenders for the Women's Tag Titles," Markiplier notes. "So, therefore—"

"Shut up!" Barney cuts him off.

Samantha continues glaring from the ring at Evil Beauty in the crowd as Hinata helps Téa up and both of them glare down at their opponents for Reign in Blood before we black out to commercial.

(Commercial Break)

When the cameras return to the show, Naruto is seen in his locker room as of now preparing for his main event match as he is wrapping his wrist with black wrestling tape. He stretches the tape out, grabs it, and rips the long part of it apart, securing the tape to his wrist. He then nurses his back, wincing of what happened earlier tonight. He softly curses to himself before putting his his jacket and zipping it up. The sounds of a door opening is heard...and walking right in was Sasuke himself with the crowd giving a high mixed reaction. Both ninjas have a small stare-off before breaking the silence.

"...Look at that...when we said we were gonna have to work together in order to take out the big man...we ACTUALLY have to fight together in a match against him," Naruto says. "Who would've thought?"

"Hmph, I didn't exactly think it would happen as a one-night reunion... The team of Naruto Uzumaki...and Sasuke Uchiha," Sasuke says. "...I hate this."

"Trust me, you're not the only one, but we gotta deal with it. We have him to deal with tonight as well. So...are you ready take down a giant?"

"I believe the answer to that, dobe...is yes," Sasuke replies with a small smirk before it disappears. "...But stay out of my way. Don't think we'll be friends after this."

"Hmph, likewise. Now...let's go...our match is starting."

Naruto walks away off-screen out of his locker room as Sasuke looks at the direction where Naruto left. The Sharingan appears in his eyes and he walks out of the room as well, following Naruto. The camera changes to the announce table with our commentators.

"In just a few minutes, guys, we will see our main event of the Handicapped Match between 'The Genocidal Giant' Rogen Townsend and the reuniting for one night only team of the current ACW Undisputed Champion, 'The Orange Spark' Naruto Uzumaki, and 'The Viper' Sasuke Uchiha," Kenji notes.

"Man, two weeks away and we're already gonna see a preview of our pay-per-view main event tonight," Barney says. "I'm calling it already, this is gonna get explosive with either Rogen displaying Genocide onto his opponents...or the team Naruto and Sasuke imploding already."

"But you never know what can happen in a night," Markiplier states. "You don't know what can happen at Reign in Blood...and you can never know what can happen tonight."

[Genocide, genocide

Hail! Hail!

Genocide, genocide

Genocide, genocide

Hail! Hail!

Genocide, genocide]

("Hail, Genocide!" by Gwar)

The crowd bursts into boos as Rogen Townsend rides out to the stage through the curtain on his motorcycle. The Genocidal Giant turns the engines over and rides down the ramps to the ring. Rogen circles around the ring three times before making a stop and flipping the kickstand down. Rogen stands from his motorcycle and enters the ring over the ropes. He looks to the crowd and raises both fists in the air, receiving more boos from the crowd. Rogen lowers his arms before removing his sunglasses off.

"The following Handicapped Match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, standing at 7-feet-tall, weighing in at 301 pounds, Rogen Townsend!" Maria announces.

"This man's been on a monster roll since the Awards and I don't think anybody should try to mess with him now after what he did earlier tonight; he brutalized Naruto and Sasuke single-handily," Markiplier notes.

"And we could be able to see that once again when he faces Naruto and Sasuke in this Handicapped Match," Zack says. "Once they all stand in that ring, things could get explosive."

("Sin with a Grin" by Shinedown)

[Take a good look at agony

Force fed pass down time release

I'm inspired to find the liar

Black list X on the back of a soulful man

I've got ways you understand

Look left, look right, but I'm behind you]

The crowd bursts into a huge mixed reaction as Sasuke walked out to the stage with the emotionless expression upon his face. Sasuke begins his slow walk down the ramps on the way to the ring, looking intimidating at the moment. As he makes it at ringside, he stops and slowly looks around the arena from left to right. He then turns to his left to the steel steps where he walks up and enters the ring. By the time he reaches the corner he walks forward to, he stands on the second turnbuckle, scanning throughout the mixed crowd before splaying his arms in a Legend Killer-pose.

"And his opponent, formerly residing from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, weighing in at 125 pounds, Sasuke Uchiha!" announces Maria.

"The Viper arrives in the U.S. Bank Arena and is looking completely focused tonight in this match-up," Kenji says. "You know how much he and Naruto want Rogen out of the way so they can deal with each other already."

"Can't exactly blame him there. Hell, if I wanted to have a one night stand with a hot chick, yet an ugly one steps in, I'd just say, 'Get lost.'," Barney states.

"...What the hell does that have to to do with anything?" Markiplier questions.

"Hey, it make sense, doesn't it?"

"Oy..." Kenji face-palms.

("I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin)

[FALL!]

Yellow pyrotechnics explodes from the stage and Naruto runs out to the stage to an electric crowd, shouting at them to get pumped up as the cheer loudly. He stands at the middle of the stage, looking all around the arena with a small smirk. He raises two fingers up to his forehead, gives a two-finger salute to the fans, and runs his way to the ring. He enters the ring by sliding under the rope and and sees both his Reign in Blood opponents. He stares at them for a few moments before unstrapping his Undisputed Belts from his waist and faces the crowd with the title raised above his head with one hand.

[Now the dark begins to rise

Save your breath, it's far from over

Leave the lost and dead behind

Now's your chance to run for cover

I don't want to change the world

I just wanna leave it colder

Light the fuse and burn it up

Take the path that leads to nowhere]

"And his partner, from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, weighing at 122 pounds, he is the ACW Undisputed Champion, 'The Orange Spark' Naruto Uzumaki!" announces Maria.

"The ACW Undisputed Champion of the World teaming up with the Viper against the Genocidal Giant...who would've that would actually happen?" Barney queries.

"When you have a huge problem that you want to deal with it once and for all, you gotta get some help, even if it's your worse enemy helping you," Markiplier states.

"Hm...interesting, Mark. So, if me and Benji were to have a huge problem such as him trying to get laid, we'd have to work together? How fascinating!" Barney says sarcastically.

"Oh, keep your damn mouth shut before I make you, Stinson...baka..." Kenji scowls.

Naruto passes his belt to the ringside crew, and Naruto and Sasuke stand in their respective corner as Rogen stands at his, staring right at his opponents with an unreadable expression. Both ninjas discuss which one of them should go first...and Naruto stays in as Sasuke stands at the apron. Naruto and Rogen glare at each other right before the bell rang. Immediately, Naruto sprints at Rogen and fists starts raining on the Genocidal Giant! The fists continued before Rogen PUSHES Naruto away with great force. The Orange Spark rolls to his feet and charges at Rogen once again, but only to receive a Big Boot to the jaw! Townsend grabs him by the hair and viciously throws him into his corner; he then starts landing large fist after large fist onto the skull of Uzumaki. Rogen stops and KNEES Naruto straight in the midsection before whipping him to the opposite corner. Naruto manages to run up at the corner and flips up into a Moonsault on Townsend...but only to get caught in his arms!

"Naruto with the athleticism and—Rogen catches him! Jesus, Townsend caught him in midair!" Kenji says.

"Now THAT is real power right there! Naruto could've landed that Moonsault, but Rogen decides to use his brains for once and catch him in time!" Barney says.

Rogen would then walk around the ring for a bit...lifts Naruto high with a Gorilla Press...and drops him onto his knee, connecting a Gorilla Press Gutbuster to the Undisputed Champion! Naruto rolls away from Rogen, holding his abdomen in agony, as he lays against the ropes. Townsend places his foot onto Naruto's throat and starts choking him, pushing him against the ropes. The blonde's legs start flailing due trying to get out of it as the ref scolds the Genocidal One and counts; 1!...2!...3!...4!...4.4 Rogen releases the hold as Naruto coughs to catch his breath. Sasuke shouts from his corner at Naruto to get up as he holds tight of his tag string. Naruto would quickly go to tag Sasuke...but Rogen grabs his foot and pulls him away, then lands a Leg Drop the back of Naruto's head.

"The Genocidal Giant has the complete momentum over the match already in the beginning. Naruto is not looking so good as Townsend is just brutalizing the Champ trying to keep him away from Sasuke," Zack says.

"Like I said, Rogen's finally using his brains for once," Barney remarks. "You try to keep your opponent down while keeping him away from getting the tag. That is damn smart."

"Well, Naruto better figure out a way to take control and get the tag before things get worse for him and Sasuke," Markiplier says.

Naruto grasps his head after being hit from the Leg Drop and rolls away to recover. Rogen walks over the Undisputed Champ and looks to grab him...only to get a Dropkick to the knee. Townsend falls to a knee and Naruto nails a Soccer Kick to the chest. Naruto nails another...and another...and another, with the crowd chanting, "YES!" every time the kick connects. Naruto reels back, looking for a Ninja Kick, with the crowd going, "oooooooOOOOOOOHHHHH..." as Naruto swings the leg at high-speed...and connects the STIFF High-speed Roundhouse Kick to the skull! (Markiplier: Naruto Uzumaki takes a page out of his UCA book right there! He knocked Rogen's head clean!) Rogen goes down as Naruto quickly hooks the leg; 1...2... Rogen kicks out at 2.75! Naruto stands at the ropes near Sasuke as Rogen slowly gets on all fours. As soon as the giant stood up on his feet bent over, Naruto runs at him and plants him with a Throwback. Unbeknownst to Rogen, Sasuke had already tagged himself in when Naruto charged at him. Naruto brings him up to his feet and Rogen clutches onto his throat! Rogen lifts him up for the Chokeslam, but Sasuke takes him down with a Chop Block! Rogen falls on his back as Naruto gets away; Sasuke sneers down at Rogen as he viciously stomps on the left arm of the giant...then the left leg...right leg...right arm...and a final Garvin Stomp to the skull, completing the Avenger's Stomp (Garvin Stomp while circling a grounded opponent).

"With the tag made, Sasuke is now quickly taking control over Rogen in the match," Kenji says.

Sasuke mounts Rogen and starts nailing a brutal fist after brutal fist to the skull before shouting, "YOU SHOULD'VE STAYED OUT OF IT...YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!" The Uchiha Predator continues nailing the vicious Mounted Fists before the ref had to pull him off from Townsend. He scolds him as Sasuke pushes him away to the sides and went after Rogen again for multiple Mudhole Stomps in the corner. He repeats the stomps to the chest before backing away to the opposite corner...then running straight forward to the Genocidal Giant...and runs his foot at his face with a Face Wash! Sasuke drags him out of the corner and pins his face against the mat; 1...2...Rogen gets the shoulder up. The Viper stands, leaps high, and connects a Leaping Knee Drop to Townsend's face. Sasuke then sees Naruto having his hand out for a tag and he walks over to him. Both ninjas stare at each other for a few moments before looking at Rogen, who is on one knee. Sasuke faces Naruto again...and slaps Naruto's hand, tagging him in; the Orange Spark smirks and nods as he enters. Naruto and Sasuke walk over to Rogen and lift him up to his feet. They drape his arms over their heads, looking for a Double Suplex...but they can barely lift him up and Rogen lifts them both up instead!

"Holy crap, Rogen lifts both ninjas high! This is not gonna go well for Naruto and Sasuke now," Markiplier says.

Townsend still has them lifted vertically, looking to Suplex both...but they begin to hit the top of his head with knee shots. They keep up the knees to the temple of Rogen as he slowly loses his grip, and both ninjas land on their feet...and drives Rogen down with a Double DDT! (Zack: There's the counter right there! Naruto and Sasuke managed to come back with that Double DDT!) Sasuke rolls out of the ring as Naruto already begins climbing to the top rope. The Kyuubi Jinchūriki crouches on the top pad, measuring Rogen up, as said seven-foot-tall man begins standing up. Townsend soon stands up...Naruto stands tall...dives off with both legs out...and plants the Konoha Bulldog to the back of Rogen's neck! The Orange Spark stands and roars throughout the arena as he beats his chest with a closed fist, inciting a large roar of cheers from the crowd. As Naruto still had the fire within him, he grabs Rogen's leg, looking to lock in the Will of Fire!...but Rogen turned himself around and pushes him away. Naruto stands and gets a kick to the stomach by Rogen. The giant puts him in a Headscissors and flips him onto his shoulders. Rogen elevates him high for the Genocide—Naruto slips away...and...manages to lift him on his shoulders with a Fireman's Carry?!

...

...No, Rogen nails an elbow to the side of Naruto's face and pushes him to the ropes, making him bump into Sasuke! The Uchiha falls to the outside from the apron onto the ring floor. He shakes his head after what just happened...and growls. Naruto staggers back, turns around to face Rogen, and he grabs the ninja's throat once again! The Undisputed Champion is doing whatever he can to get out of his grip, but to no avail. Rogen lifts Naruto up for the Chokeslam...wait...Sasuke dives off the turnbuckle with a Diving Double Ax Handle, hitting Rogen's skull—NO! Rogen catches Sasuke by his throat! He lifts both ninjas high...and nails a one-man single Double Chokeslam, all the way down to hell! Townsend...doesn't go for the cover, though. He stands and backs up to the ropes as both Naruto and Sasuke slowly getting up, unbeknownst of them seeing Rogen...who now cracks a small evil grin as he flexes both arms, getting ready to take them both down with the World Coming down. Rogen mutters off-mic, "C'mon...get up...BOTH of you..! Get up!" as the Orange Spark and the Viper finally get to their feet...Rogen hurtles over to them, going for the WCD to the ninjas...who ducks him and SOMEHOW Back Body Drops him over the top ropes! With the fans going absolutely wild, Naruto and Sasuke look to each other...and nod in unison and run at the ropes. Townsend stands up, turns to get back in the ring, but gets taken down with a Double Suicide Dive!

"A SUICIDE DIVE—DOUBLE, MAN!" Zack exclaims. "YOU CAN SAY GENOCIDE ALL YOU WANT, BUT COMMITTING SUICIDE RIGHT THERE JUST PUTS IT OVER!"

Rogen lies against the barricade catching his breath while Naruto grasps his head as he stands on one knee and Sasuke tends to his back. Naruto grabs the behemoth and manages to bring his dead weight back to the ring. Naruto slides in and turns him over for the cover; 1, 2... Rogen powers out at 2.95! Naruto, on his knees, grew his eyes wide as he couldn't believe it. He curses to himself before climbing to the top turnbuckle once again. He stands high and, wasting little time, leaps off for the Konoha Drop, and...Rogen rolls out of the way and Naruto crashes onto the canvas!

"Naruto with the Konoha Dr—Rogen moves! The giant dodges that elbow from the Champ!" Kenji exclaims.

Townsend then pulls Naruto up and puts him in the Headscissors once more. He brings him onto his shoulders, raises him up by the waist, and GENOCIDES Naruto right on the canvas! He turns around to face the booing crowd as they chant, "Rogen sucks! Rogen sucks!" and he just raises both fists...and Sasuke kicks him straight to the back of the knee, forcing Rogen to his knees! At the advantage, Sasuke wraps the arm around his head from behind and hits the Uchiha Backbreaker (Inverted Headlock Backbreaker)! Townsend holds his head as he rolls away to the apron and Sasuke stalks over. He clutches his head and apparently drags him onto the second rope by his feet. Sasuke glares at Rogen as he holds onto his head and the ref is counting; 1!...2!...3!...4! ...4.9...Sasuke suddenly snaps a sadistic grin on his face and connects the Viper's DDT! Sasuke roars in the air, going insane like Randy Orton, as he stomps his fists onto the mat, a predator gone mad!

"DDT connecting by The Viper! Vintage Uchiha!" Zack shouts.

"I think he may be hearing voices in his head now!...Oh, wait...wrong guy," Markiplier quips.

Sasuke continues stomping his fists on the mat as he sizes Townsend up to his feet. As soon as he saw Rogen slowly sitting up, he gained a psychotic snake-like grin, muttering, "C'mon...get up...get to your *stomps fists on canvas* ass up!" The Genocidal stands on a knee, unknowing Sasuke is behind him, who is on a knee as well. Rogen stands up, stumbling into Sasuke behind him...the Viper leaps up...

...VENOM—WAIT! Rogen pushes him away RIGHT INTO THE REFEREE, KNOCKING HIM OUT! Sasuke bumps into the ropes and turns around RIGHT INTO THE WORLD COMING DOWN, TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT!

"HOLY S%T, ROGEN MAY HAVE KNOCKED SASUKE'S HEAD CLEAN OFF WITH THAT VICIOUS LARIAT!" Markiplier shouts.

"THIS IS THE END FOR NARUTO AND SASUKE HERE! THEY ARE DONE RIGHT HERE!" Barney exclaims.

Rogen just kicks Sasuke away and leaves him on the apron as he drags Naruto back to the center of the ring to pin him...but sees the referee is out cold still after bumping into Sasuke. "F%K!" Rogen shouts off-mic as he runs hands through his hair and pulls them out in frustration. He stands and walks over to the referee and shakes him to wake him up. He did whatever he can to do so, but to no avail. The expression on his face tells, "Are you f%king serious?!" and just pushes the referee out of the ring. He shouts at him, "WORTHLESS! YOU'RE F%KING WORTHLESS!" Townsend turns around to see Sasuke still out cold as well...but sees Naruto slowly sitting up. Rogen would then have an idea...and quickly gets out of the ring...goes through his motorcycle...and he takes out...a 50-inched long steel biker chain! He starts wrapping the chain around his right arm as he slides back into the ring. Rogen finishes up and starts winding the arm, getting ready for a chain-aided WCD to Naruto.

"Oh, dear God—no! No! NO! Rogen, for the love of God, don't do this, dammit!" Kenji pleads. "You're gonna kill him here! Naruto, move out of the way!"

"Okay, this seems a bit too much for me, but this is the message Rogen has to send in order for people to respect him," Barney says.

"Uh, I'm not sure it could be in this way, man! This has gone far enough!" Markiplier says.

Rogen motions the Orange Spark to stand as said ninja uses the ropes to help himself up. Naruto makes it to a vertical base...Townsend bounces off the ropes...he extends the arm out...Naruto faces Rogen...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND DUCKS! Rogen turns back to Naruto and GETS A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! Rogen falls to the ropes and bounces off, and Naruto LIFTS him up on his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry! He screams as immediately goes for the Ninja's Way...but barely pushes him off his shoulders...

...INTO THE VENOM FROM SASUKE! The crowd explodes with cheers for the double teaming of both ninjas! Naruto stands on a knee, panting heavily after lifting at least three-hundred pounds of man, as Sasuke glares down at the Genocidal Giant. He turns to Naruto and walks over to him; the Orange Spark slowly looks up to face the Viper's cold eyes. He slowly stands on his feet and has a small stare-off with his biggest rival. Sasuke then slowly looks at Rogen...then back at Naruto...and motions him to pin Townsend. Naruto nods and begins walking over to him...

...before getting turned around and caught in the Venom!

"The Venom! The Venom by Sasuke!" Zack calls.

"There's a lesson when it comes to this: NEVER trust the Viper! Never trust an Uchiha!" Barney exclaims. "He will STRIKE you with his poisonous Venom!"

"From my point of view, I believe Sasuke was as well showing a message that he's after Naruto after taking out Rogen!" Markiplier states.

With 60% of the crowd booing at Sasuke, the Viper stares at the unconscious Naruto with a stoic expression. Sasuke backs away from him and exits the ring, slowly making his way to the ramps. Rogen wakes up and sees Naruto down and out for some reason. His questions would be answered later as he crawls and turns the blonde ninja on his back. Rogen hooks the leg as he waits for the ref to wake up. Fortunately for the giant, the official crawls back in the ring and slowly makes his way to them. When he reached them, he begins the count; 1!...

...

2!...

...

...

...

...

...

...SASUKE PUNTS ROGEN'S HEAD OFF BEFORE THREE!

"HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD! SASUKE SAVED NARUTO FROM GETTING PINNED WITH THE VICIOUS PUNT KICK!" Markiplier yells. "NOW ROGEN AND NARUTO ARE JUST OUT OF IT!"

"YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VIPER WILL STRIKE, MAN! YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!" Barney exclaims.

"GUYS...I'M NOT SURE THIS WAS TO SAVE NARUTO...BUT SENDING ANOTHER MESSAGE AS WELL..." Kenji implies.

Rogen lies on the mat, unconscious with Naruto, as Sasuke is the last man standing in the ring. He slightly tilts his head with the stoic look still on his face.

"...Time to close the show, guys, 'cause we're already out of time..." Barney says.

"Yeah, you're right..." Kenji says. "Folks, we...want to thank you for joining us tonight. Be sure to watch our go-home show before Reign in Blood... I'm Kenji Matsuo..."

"Zack Carver..." Zack says.

"I'm Markiplier," Markiplier says.

"And this is the 'Legend—wait for it...dary Commentator' Barney Stinson...signing off," Barney finishes. "See ya...next week."

The show ends with Sasuke staring stoically at Naruto and Rogen as the crowd rains the arena with a mix of cheers and boos...
