BTWF WarZone (Part 3)

"I am Perfection" by Cage9 plays as Asuka walks to the ring. The look on her face is both angry worried as she occasionally stops to yell at a booing fan. She rolls into the ring, and yells at the fans from there.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the BTWF World Women's Championship. Making her way to the ring, the challenger, from Germany, she is the leader of the Beautiful People; Asuka Langley Soryu!" Justin Roberts announced as the Asuka continued yelling at the jeering crowd. As Asuka was screaming, the lights in the arena turned light blue, and "Shatter Me" by Lindsey Sterling and Lzzy Hale played throughout the arena.

"And her opponent, from Tokyo Japan, she is the BTWF World Women's Champion, Rei Ayanami!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd cheered loudly for Rei Ayanami, who came out in a light blue robe, and walked to the ring, staring intently at Asuka, who was glaring back at her. Rei got into the ring and gave the title to the referee before she and Asuka got face to face. The referee rang the bell, allowing the two to trade elbows with each other before Rei took control with chops to the chest, a kick to the gut, and a springboard dropkick from the middle rope.

"Rei and Asuka starting this match out fast and furious!" JR exclaimed as Asuka tried to roll out of the ring, but Rei caught up to her with a suicide dive and started hitting her with repeated punches. Rei turned, and raised her arms which made the crowd cheer. However, Asuka was able to get up, and hit Rei with a chop block and throwing her into the steel ring post.

"And Asuka sending Rei into the ring post!" Naoko exclaimed, as Asuka sent Rei and herself back into the ring before she left the ring, and put her legs near the ring post, and rammed her leg several times into the ring post. Asuka yelled at the crowd before wrapping Rei into the figure 4 leg lock in the ring post. When Asuka released the hold, Rei immediately crawled away from the ring post holding her leg. Asuka went back into the ring and started stomping on Rei's leg.

"It's very odd to see Asuka work on the leg," Benson pointed out.

"She doesn't have a submission hold that works on the leg," JR agreed, before Naoko interjected.

"This would work in Asuka's favor, as Rei uses the Frog Splash as a finisher and if her legs are injured, she can't go up on the top rope," Naoko pointed out.

"That's a very good point Naoko. Congratulations," JR congratulated, as Asuka put Rei into the corner and started kneeing her in the gut before wrapping her leg in the ropes, and jumping on it with her knees. Asuka picked Rei up for a couple of suplexes, and a neckbreaker before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Rei kicked out, and Asuka responded with a kick to Rei's chest before hitting her with a DDT. Asuka repeatedly rammed Rei's knees into the ring canvas, before putting her in a Spinning Toe Hold. Rei screamed in pain as Asuka yelled in her face. Rei grabbed Asuka by the hair and gave her a couple of punches to the head before Asuka let go of the hold and hit her with a double foot stomp to the chest, before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

Rei kicked out, and tried to mount Asuka for more punches, but Asuka countered with a belly to belly suplex before putting her in another leg lock. Rei quickly tried to crawl to the ropes, but Asuka pounded on her leg, and brought her back to the center of the ring. Asuka turned her leg lock into another Spinning Toe Hold before Rei countered into a small package.

Ref: 1…2

"I have no idea how Rei is still in this match," Naoko stated.

Rei hit a couple of dropkicks before hitting the scoop slam onto Asuka. Rei hit several elbow drops and a couple of headbutts before Asuka countered an elbow drop from Rei into an arm drag, and mounted her with more punches. Rei pushed Asuka off, stood face to face with Asuka, and slapped her in the face, much to the delight of the crowd.

"Rei is a resilient competitor, Naoko. You of all people should know that," JR responded. Asuka and Rei were exchanging punches before Rei sent Asuka into the corner, and hit a running corner dropkick and hit a hurricanrana on Asuka. When Asuka got up, Rei kicked her in the gut, and hit the Three Amigos, before picking her up again, grabbing both her arms, and hit her with a Wing Clipper.

"Oh my God! A Wing Clipper, made famous by up and coming Cruiserweight Angel Garza!" Benson called out before Rei went for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

Rei sighed in frustration before running the ropes attempting a leg drop, but Asuka moved, causing Rei to fall on her injured leg. Asuka hit a couple of knee drops on Rei's head before repeatedly slamming the back of Rei's head on the mat. Asuka mounted Rei and repeatedly slapped her while yelling at her.

"THAT'S MY TITLE! AND I'M GOING TO FUCKING GET IT BACK!"

Asuka picked up Rei for the Unprettier (Reverse Suplex), before Rei countered into a neckbreaker before attempting to climb the top rope.

"Rei's legs are making this climb to the top rope feel like climbing Mt. Everest," JR said, as Rei finally made it to the top rope. Rei dived for a Frog Splash, but Asuka moved out of the way, causing Rei to hit her leg again. Rei crawled to the corner while Asuka was trying to steady herself and loosened the laces on her right boot, trying to get some blood flow back into her leg. However, Asuka had come back up, and noticed Rei loosening her boot.

"Oh shit…," Rei mumbled before Asuka kicked Rei in the head and put her back in the Spinning Toe Hold.

"And this has to be it! Rei has to tap out here!" Naoko exclaimed.

"You may be right unfortunately," JR lamented before Asuka slipped out of the hold. Asuka was holding Rei's white wrestling boot in her hand, which was the boot that she had untied.

"And Rei getting out of the hold by sheer luck!" Benson exclaimed as Rei was able to get up while Asuka was distracted by her boot and hit Asuka in the face with a running bicycle knee and going behind her to hit her with a Redemption (Cross Rhodes) before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2…3

*Bell rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and still the BTWF World Women's Champion, Rei Ayanami!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd cheered, and Asuka sat down on the mat, looking at Rei clutching her title while laying down on the mat.

"Rei, despite all the odds, was able to retain her championship!" JR exclaimed, as Asuka started arguing with the referee, pointing to the boot on the other side of the ring.

"For someone who's claimed to be such an angel, that was a cheap tactic to retain her title," Naoko commented, as Rei rolled out of the ring, still clutching her leg.

"I'm sure it was all just a coincidence," Benson countered, as Rei limped away from the ring, still holding her title in her hands. Asuka is still screaming at the referee as the crowd is cheering Rei and chanting her name.

"That's what Little Miss. Perfect would want you to think," Naoko said, as the camera panned back to the announcers and Benson gave Naoko an eye roll.

"Well anyway, up next we have our steel cage match for the United States championship as Shinji Ikari defends his title against the self professed Real American, Stan Smith," JR stated, as a graphic with Stan and Shinji's picture in the steel cage appeared on the TitanTron, surrounded by trenches and planes of war.

"This has been a rivalry full of extreme attacks and some racist remarks, and it all comes to a head inside the cage!" Benson exclaimed as the cage started to come around the ring. The cage stopped halfway through, as "Patriot" by Jim Johnston played throughout the arena, barely audible over the loud boos of the crowd.

"The following contest is a steel cage match, where the only way to win is by pinfall, submission, and escaping the cage. Introducing the challenger first, from Langley Falls, Virginia, he is a Real American, Stan Smith!" Justin Roberts announces, as the crowd boos, with some of them chant "Racist" and "Asshole" at him. Stan just glares at the crowd before stepping into the cage. The lights in the arena turn red and white before "Not Gonna Die" by Skillet plays throughout the arena, and the crowd explode into cheers as Shinji comes running from the back, wearing the United States title around his waist.

"And his opponent, from Tokyo Japan, he is the BTWF United States champion, Shinji Ikari!" Justin Roberts announced, as Shinji ran to the cage, got inside of it, gave his title to the referee, and had a staredown with Stan, who was glaring at Shinji with just as much intensity. Once the bell rang, Shinji and Stan started exchanging punches in the middle of the ring, before Stan picked Shinji up and tackled him into the corner. Stan hit several shoulder thrusts on Shinji, before Shinji countered a 4th shoulder thrust with feet to the top of Stan's head, before rolling Stan into a pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Stan and Shinji already going to war with each other, and the match hasn't even been going on for a minute," Benson stated, as Shinji picked Stan up, hit him with a spin kick in the gut, and put him in a headlock. Stan was in the hold for 30 seconds, before he pushed Shinji off of him. Stan knocked Shinji down with a shoulder tackle, before putting Shinji in a seated bearhug. Stan kept Shinji in the hold for a full minute before Shinji elbowed Stan in the head several times, before Stan put Shinji in a full nelson hold instead.

"Stan showing off his wrestling acumen with these various submission holds," JR stated, as Stan tried to wriggle his way out of the full nelson.

"We shouldn't write Shinji off though. He's United States champion for a reason," Naoko responded. Just as she says that, Shinji is able to get out of the full nelson and put Stan in an armbar. After another thirty seconds, Stan pushed Shinji into the corner, and started elbowing Shinji in the back and attempted a German suplex on Shinji, but Shinji was able to land on his feet.

"Some insane athleticism by Shinji with the way he was able to counter that German suplex!" JR exclaimed.

Shinji then threw him into the cage wall. Shinji hit Stan with several punches to the face before throwing him into the corner. Shinji continued punching Stan in the face, before kicking Stan in the chest several times. Stan grabbed Shinji's foot from one of his kicks, but Shinji countered it into a headscissors, sending Stan to the ground, before hitting him with a running shooting star press and went for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

Shinji picked Stan up, and attempted to pick him up for a suplex, but Stan countered it into his own suplex. Stan punted Shinji and started punching him in the face, and slamming the back of his head onto the mat. Stan picked Shinji up and hit him with a belly to belly suplex, but Stan didn't let go of Shinji as he hit two more belly to belly suplexes on Shinji. Stan puts his hand on his heart and yells "WE THE PEOPLE" before he hits a leg drop on Shinji and goes for the pin.

Ref: 1…2

"Stan has been able to take control of this encounter," Benson stated as Stan threw Shinji into the corner and clubbed his back with elbows.

"Targeting the back of an athlete like Shinji would prevent him from doing any of his high flying maneuvers," JR explained, as Stan pulled Shinji by the hair and threw him back to the turnbuckle head first, ran to the other side of the ring, and hit a clothesline to the back of Shinji's head, which sent his face back into the turnbuckle again. Stan picked Shinji up by the hair, and taunted the crowd by slapping him in the face. The crowd was booing Stan doing this, some fans even throwing their empty cups and popcorn bags at the cage. Stan turns Shinji around and hits him with a DDT before going for another pin.

Ref: 1…2

Shinji kicked out and Stan immediately went to work putting him in a rear naked choke with his legs wrapped around Shinji's torso.

"And a Rear Naked Choke applied by Stan Smith!" Naoko exclaimed, as Shinji tried to wriggle his way to the ropes.

"There may be no escape for Shinji Ikari!" Benson exclaimed as Shinji stopped wriggling, rolled onto his stomach, and started to stand up, much to the crowd's delight.

"Does Shinji have the core and leg strength to lift Stan up!?" JR asked, as Stan clubbed Shinji in the face, trying to get him back on the mat, but Shinji kept Stan on his shoulders, and ran to the cage, sending Stan off of Shinji and head first into the cage wall. Shinji and Stan were both laying on the floor, with Stan starting to bleed from a cut to the center of his forehead. The crowd cheered on Shinji as he slowly started getting up. However, at the same time, Stan starting to get up and attempted to run at him with another clothesline, but Shinji countered it into a step up Enziguri and a Michinoku Driver before he went for the pin. '

Ref: 1…2

Shinji slapped himself in the face a couple of times as the crowd and Stan got to his feet. Shinji hit two clotheslines, a running heel kick, a powerbomb into the corner, and a Fly to the Moon Superkick in the space of 30 seconds, sending Stan to the floor. Shinji picked Stan back up and threw him into the cage wall multiple times before hitting a reverse hurricanrana on Stan before going for another pinfall.

Ref: 1…2

"It's amazing how neither one of these athletes have made an attempt to escape the cage and get the easy win," Benson pointed out as Shinji pulled Stan up by his hair.

"This is a personal feud, Benson. The cage is there to make sure the action stays in the ring, but these athletes want to get the pin or the submission on the other," JR explains, as Shinji attempts a back suplex, but Stan is able to hit Shinji in the face a couple of times, before throwing him into the steel cage. Stan grabs Shinji by the tights, and repeatedly slammed Shinji into the same cage wall, causing him to get a cut on both the front of his forehead, and a light gash on the chest. Shinji also got an injury to his nose from the multiple attacks with the steel cage.

Stan slams Shinji down with a scoop slam, and started punching and stomping Shinji. Shinji tried to defend himself with his arms, but Stan grabbed one of Shinji's arms and started stomping on it before he hip tossed Shinji into the corner. Stan yelled at the fans booing him before he hit Shinji with a running knee in the corner before immediately putting him in the ankle lock.

"This ankle lock could spell the end of Shinji in this match!" Naoko exclaimed as Shinji tried to turn and kick Stan off of him, but Stan kicked him in the head and turned him back around for the ankle lock.

"Not only could Shinji tap out, but even if Shinji survives this, this could decrease his ability to escape the cage due to all the damage to his leg," JR explained. Shinji tried to crawl to the ropes, but Stan pulled him back into the ring. Screaming in pain, Shinji turned around again, and pulled Stan to him to roll him up.

Ref: 1…2

Stan was able to get out of the pin, but Shinji pushed Stan away with his leg to prevent the Ankle Lock from continuing. Shinji ran to the corner, and so did Stan, but Shinji was able to move out of the way, causing Stan to hit the ring post, allowing Shinji to roll him up.

Ref: 1…2..

Stan kicked out, and Shinji locked him in the All Wrapped Up (Octopus Stretch) onto Stan. Stan tried to fight out of it by punching Shinji in the face, but started biting Stan's ear to get him to stop punching him. Stan eventually got on one knee, causing Shinji to let go of Stan's ear and started fish holing Stan's face. Stan eventually was able to grab some of Shinji's fingers, and started biting them, causing Shinji to let go, and Stan to elbow him off. Shinji crawls away from Stan, but Stan pulls him back in the ankle lock, this time putting his leg in a grapevine.

"This grapevine to the leg may spell the end of Shinji," Naoko said, as Shinji started screaming in pain and started crawling to the ropes again. Shinji was able to make it to the ropes, but Stan didn't let go of the hold since a steel cage match is no disqualification. Shinji is able to climb the ropes, but Stan still keeps the hold on, so Shinji jumps up a few times, allowing Shinji to slip out of Stan's grapevine. Shinji then hit a springboard moonsault on Stan before climbing to the top rope, and hitting Stan with another moonsault, landing on his knee.

"Two straight moonsaults by Shinji! But at what cost to his leg?" JR asked as Shinji started punching his knee to get blood flowing back in his leg.

"This may have done more damage to Shinji than it did to Stan," Benson stated before Shinji crawled to Stan's prone body, and covered him.

Ref: 1…2

"And Shinji's leg caused him to be unable to get the three count," Naoko stated, as Shinji ran his hands through his hair in frustration, before getting rolled up by Stan.

Ref: 1…2

"Neither one of these two are willing to give up!" JR exclaimed, as Shinji and Stan got on their knees, and started hitting each other with various strikes. Shinji traded his open palm strikes and punches with Stan's punches and elbows. After a minute of trading strikes, Shinji got the upper hand by hitting Stan with some headbutts, before getting up, grabbing Stan by the arms, and hit repeated knees to Stan's face. Shinji ran the ropes, and attempted the Peace of Mind (Curb Stomp), but Stan catapulted Shinji into the cage wall, before catching the falling Shinji into an Angle Slam before going for the pin.

Ref: 1…2..

Shinji barely rolled his shoulder up, causing Stan to practically pull his hair out in frustration. He got up and argued with the referee while blood was pouring from his face and Shinji was starting to stir. Stan pushed the referee before picking Shinji up for a German suplex, before Shinji elbowed Stan in the head repeatedly, to the point that Stan fell down to his knees. Shinji ran the ropes and hit Stan with the Peace of Mind (Curb Stomp), but instead of going for the pin, Shinji looked up at the top of the cage walls, much to the crowd's delight.

"Shinji just hit the Peace of Mind on Stan! But…he's not going for the cover," Benson stated, as Shinji started to climb up the cage. When Shinji got to the top of the cage with his back to Stan, the crowd loudly cheered for Shinji as he raised his hand up in the air, and did a cut throat taunt before he jumped off the top and hit a moonsault onto Stan before covering Stan for the pin, much to the delight of the crowd who were on their feet cheering for Shinji, chanting his name as the ref went down to count the pin.

Ref: 1…2…3

*Bell rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and still the BTWF United States Champion, Shinji Ikari!" Justin Roberts announced, as Shinji raised his hand while he was laying down face first on the mat.

"Shinji sacrificed life and limb to make sure that Stan stayed down for the three count!" Benson exclaimed, as Shinji started crawling out of the cage, with his face still covered in blood and his arm holding his ribs.

"At the end of the day, Shinji is still the United States champion, but we need to go back and look at the moonsault Shinji did off of the top of the cage to put Stan down for the three count," JR explained as a replay played, showing a slow motion version of Shinji's moonsault off of the top rope, showing that Stan nearly bounced off of the canvas of the ring once Shinji actually hit Stan.

"It's going to be amazing if Shinji and Stan still have their ribs at 100% after this gigantic move," Naoko commented, before the camera went backstage where Shoto Todoroki was walking out of the arena before being stopped by a man in a suit.

"Trevor…" Todoroki mumbled before trying to walk out of his way. The man blocked Todoroki's way with his arm.

"That's Mr. Woods to you Todoroki, and I want to know what's going on with you. I brought you into the BTWF because I know you're one of the top athletes in fanfiction wrestling, and I know you're stressed about tonight, but don't let this type of thing get in the way of your friendships. Wrestling has a bad habit of ending friendships, and you have to try hard to keep them alive," Trevor Woods tried to explain to Todoroki, who just walked around him, still looking frustrated before the camera went back to the ring, as Damien Sandow's theme song from 2013-2014 played in the arena as the crowd booed.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is Kaworu Nagisa's Money in the Bank cash in match for the BTWF Championship! Making his way to the ring, from Tokyo Japan, Mr. Money in the Bank Kaworu Nagisa!" Justin Roberts announced, as the crowd booed and Kaworu mockingly smiled at the crowd and showed off his briefcase.

"Kaworu looking confident heading to his world title match against Natsu coming up shortly," Naoko stated, as Kaworu jumped over the rope, knelt down, and spread his arms out like he was waiting for something. When he got up and went into the corner, The lights in the arena turned red and "War" by Sick Puppies played throughout the arena, and the crowd got on their feet and cheered as loud as they were able to.

"And the crowd is on their feet for the BTWF champion!" Benson exclaimed as the crowd continued to cheer as Natsu ran out of the back, and jumped up as the pyro went off, before he ran to the ring with the title around his shoulder.

"And his opponent, from Magnolia, Fiore, he is the BTWF Champion, Natsu Dragoneel!" Justin Roberts announced as the crowd's white hot cheers continued to resonate throughout the arena. Natsu rolled under the ropes to get under the ring, and got into Kaworu's face to hold the title in his face. Kaworu smirked at him before he slapped Natsu in the face, grabbed the title, held it up, and gave it to the referee. Once the bell rang, Natsu kicked Kaworu in the face, and mounted Kaworu to punch him in the face. The referee took the briefcase and handed it to a ring attendant before returning his attention to the match.

"And Natsu starting this match with fire and aggression!" JR exclaimed as Kaworu pushed Natsu away and walked to the corner, before Natsu put Kaworu in an armbar. Kaworu was able to stand up and hit Natsu with a short arm clothesline, but Natsu was able to push Kaworu off of him with his legs, and hit a running crossbody on Kaworu, sending both of them out of the ring. Natsu grabs Kaworu, and hits him with a Gourdbuster on the fan barricade, causing Kaworu to dangle on the barricade by his stomach. Natsu went up to the ring apron, and shot both his arms up, causing the crowd to cheer.

"We know what Natsu is going for here!" Benson exclaimed.

"We sure do, and it's going to hurt!" JR exclaimed, before Natsu dived off the apron, and hit Kaworu with a spinning leg drop, sending both of them down to the floor.

Ref: 1…2

Natsu got up, holding his knee and limping slightly, before he grabbed Kaworu by his gray hair and threw him back into the ring. Natsu got back up on the apron, and attempted a springboard leg drop, but Kaworu was able to move, causing Natsu to hit his leg, and Kaworu rolled him up.

Ref: 1…2

Natsu kicked out, and Kaworu immediately countered by putting him in a half nelson, and hitting Natsu with multiple knees to the gut before hitting a spinning neckbreaker on him. Kaworu curtsied the audience before he hit a knee drop on Natsu's head. Kaworu dragged Natsu to the bottom turnbuckle in the corner and stomped on him before choking Natsu with his boot. Kaworu stepped away from Natsu, and hit him with a running face wash before attempting another pin on Natsu.

Ref: 1…2

Kaworu started elbowing Natsu in the face before picking Natsu up in a full nelson hold, and squeezing. Natsu attempted to kick his way out of the move, but Kaworu swept one of Natsu's legs, and moved Natsu to the middle of the ring. After 30 seconds, Natsu was able to get up and elbow Kaworu in the face a couple of times, but Kaworu walked to the corner, and rammed Natsu's head into the turnbuckle pad several times, before rolling him up.

Ref: 1…2

Natsu rolled his shoulder up, and Kaworu responded by hitting Natsu with a scoop slam and going to the 2nd tope to hit a Bret Hart style pinpoint elbow onto Natsu's forehead. Kaworu stomped on Natsu before putting him in a Texas Cloverleaf. Natsu was in the hold for 30 seconds before he made it to the ropes, which Kaworu responded to by letting go of the hold and hitting him with a Deadlift German Suplex.

"It's amazing how much strength Kaworu has," Naoko commented, before Kaworu curtsied the fans again.

"Just looking at Kaworu, you wouldn't know that he was that strong," Benson continued, before Kaworu went for the pin on Natsu.

Ref: 1…2

Natsu kicked out, and Kaworu hit an Elbow of Disdain in response.

"Kaworu showing that he can hang with our BTWF champion!" Naoko exclaimed, as Kaworu attempted another pin, this time putting his foot on Natsu's chest for a pin.

Ref: 1…2

Natsu grabbed Kaworu's leg and hit a dragon screw on Kaworu's leg, and used the ropes to get himself up, before hitting a springboard Arabian moonsault from the top rope onto Kaworu. Natsu clapped his hands, getting the fans to clap along with him, and roared much to the crowd's delight. When Kaworu got up, Natsu hit him with 2 clotheslines, an enziguri, a scoop slam, and several leg drops to the throat.

"And Natsu getting back in the swing of things!" JR exclaimed as Natsu ran the ropes and hit a Rolling Fire (Rolling Thunder) on Kaworu. Before Natsu could capitalize, Kaworu rolled out of the ring, with Natsu quickly giving chase. Natsu grabbed Kaworu, but Kaworu grabbed his head and hit Natsu's head on the ring apron, before throwing him back in the ring and jaw jacking with a few fans before getting back in the ring himself to hit Natsu with a Uranage before pinning him.

Ref: 1…2

Kaworu got up and argued with the ref, pushing him into a corner.

"Kaworu can't afford to distract himself with the referee's count here," Naoko explained as Natsu started to come to.

"Surprised this genius is making a move like this," Benson said, as Kaworu mimicked what he felt was a slow count by the referee.

"Well in the heat of the moment in an important world title like this, you're bound to make mistakes based purely on emotion, and even a self proclaimed genius like Kaworu is not immune to acting out based on emotion," JR explained as Natsu got up and hit Kaworu with a running shoulder tackle to the back, causing Kaworu to squish the referee, sending him down. Once again, Kaworu escaped the ring, and this time stuck his head underneath the ring. Natsu went to the ropes, and attempted to dive onto Kaworu, but Kaworu got a chair from under the ring and hit Natsu in the gut with the chair before getting back to the ring, and hitting him with an elbow to the back of the head, sending Natsu down to the ground. Kaworu looked at the referee still face down on the canvas, before he prepared to hit Natsu with another chair shot, before the crowd suddenly jumped to their feet cheering as Shinji Ikari, despite his stomach being heavily wrapped in athletic tape, jogged down to the ring.

"And Shinji is here, despite the hellacious match he had only 15 minutes ago!" JR exclaimed as Shinji ran into the ring and grabbed the chair from Kaworu and threw it to the outside. Kaworu responded by kicking Shinji in the gut and hitting him with the Final Request (Full Nelson Slam). As Kaworu absorbed the boos from the crowd, Natsu sprung back to life, and hit Kaworu with a superkick. Holding on to his stomach, Natsu climbed up to the top rope, and hit the Five Star Dragon Splash (Five Star Frog Splash) onto Kaworu and went for the pin. By this time, the ref had come to and crawled closer to Natsu to count the pin.

Ref: 1…2…3

*Bell rings*

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and still the BTWF champion, Natsu Dragoneel!" Justin Roberts announced, as the crowd cheered and Natsu was given his belt.

"If Shinji hadn't come when he did, Kaworu would've destroyed Natsu with that steel chair," Benson pointed out, as Shinji was out of the ring being checked on by ringside doctors, and the referee.

"Shows the heart of Shinji; despite the brutality he went through in that steel cage match, he came down to make sure that his enemy didn't cheat and win the title dirty. That's very commendable from that young man," JR praised, as Naoko rolled her eyes.

"I think he should've stayed out of it," Naoko mumbled, as Natsu celebrated outside the ring and with the fans with his title in his hands, while Kaworu glared at Natsu and held his stomach.

"And believe it or not folks, we have one more match tonight; the interpromotional 12 man tag as the NWO take on 6 members of TWAE in a match for bragging rights and brand supremacy," JR explained as the camera panned around the crowd, who were still lively and full of energy.
