Before the show could even open, everything went static-y. A sign soon appears saying:

The Revolution Will Be Live:

"Stand With Us...or Fall With Them"

It then cuts to a cheaply cut phone recording. Clay Marrow soon puts the camera to himself, showing himself in Revolution HQ & with a big smile on his face.

Clay: "Followers of the Revolution! We are back! Live and in color!" Did you miss us? Cause we missed all of you! Let us know how much you've missed us in the comments below! And I must say…it's been a busy week for Revolution! New Horizon has come and gone, another week of Battlefield has come to an end, and Revolution is taking over! We said Sai would break Chris Blade's spirit, and by God did he break that poor numpty's spirit! So much so that…" he looks around then whispers. "Rumor has it that he's planning to retire here! On Training Grounds! He's so broken he can't even show his face on Battlefield! He has to say his goodbyes….on ICW Training Grounds! So let's say goodbye with a commemorative Sai Russo t-shirt!"

Clay unzips his jacket and reveals a Sai Russo t-shirt that shows him standing there with his hands in his pockets. The shirt read "Revolutionizing the Future" on the front. And when Clay shows the back of the shirt, it had an image of a fallen Chris Blade with the words "Leaving the Past"

Clay: "That's right, ladies & gentlemen! Your favorite Revolutionary Russo has his own shirt, and you can get it, too! And for a limited time, use code 'RevolutionRusso' to get an exclusive 20% off when you purchase another copy of this wonderful t-shirt! Dawn of a new day, ladies & gentlemen! Now is the time for everyone to Stand With Us! Because the Revolution will not be stopped! In the meanwhile, let's check up on everyone else."

Clay goes up to the door and unlocks it. When he walks in, the first thing he sees is Ava Knight & Christian McIntyre sitting at the table talking.

Clay: He closes the door and walks over to them. "I wasn't told there'd be a meeting. Something wrong?"

Ava: "Not at all. Christian has an important mission that needs to be completed."

Clay: "Ah. What is it?"

Ava: She smiles and looks at the camera. "I cannot reveal all of the details at this moment, but this task is VITAL for the Revolution to continue rising."

Clay: He turns the camera to his face. "Sorry, guys, no exclusive scoop this time." He then turns it back to Ava.

Ava: She gets up and looks at the charts & graphs on their large white board. "How are the numbers?"

Clay: "You're joking, right!?" He asks. "We're doing BIG numbers! Our ratings are reaching up to Sabre & Reynoso levels of high! The three truck full of merchandise we shipped last week are nearly sold out! Sai is taking over the 18-34 demographic! And to say you got a lot of people talking is an understatement after what you did to Carson!"

Ava: "Good." She says before sitting down. "I'm aware of all the questions, so I requested an interview on Battlefield. I don't expect any hostility so you guys can sit this one out."

Clay: "Okay…so what's our next plan of attack? We aren't short on options! There's Mark and his title, especially after what he said about us. La Rebelion seems to think ICW is under their full control, so they can be potential targets. And apparently those twin brothers lost the tag titles after an open challenge to- get this- Katashi…. & CJ! There's so many moves we can make, Ava!"

Ava: "I'm aware." She says calmly sitting back. "We need to be careful and not overextend ourselves. We risk the Revolution suffering a burnout with the people if we do too much at once."

Clay: "So wait a bit and see how things will play out?"

Ava: "Exactly, though I already have a target in mind. In the meantime…" She looks around the room. "Let's focus on extending our base of operations…." As soon as she says this, the video feed ends.


The screen immediately cuts to the ICW Arena. The lighting was slightly darkened once again as the 6,000 fans sat closer towards the ring.

Jazz: "Welcome, ladies & gentlemen, back to ICW Training Grounds! I am Jazz Conaway, and this week I am joined by… 'The Good Reverend' Rodney Lee."

Next to her sits a a 31-year-old, 6'1, 278lbs mocha colored stocky man with a beer gut, short black hair styled in 360 degree waves with a taper fade, a black chinstrap beard, and is wearing a very bright & extravagant orange suit with brown pointed dress shoes, a large orange fedora, and his signature gold cane.

Rodney: "PRAISE THE LORD ALMIGHTY FOR BLESSING HIS GOOD REVEREND THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THE HOLY WORD INTO THESE UNHOLY TRAINING GROUNDS! NOW GOD, BLESS ME WITH YOUR DIVINE POWER SO I MAY TOUCH THE HEATHENS AND SINNERS ACROSS THE WORLD! A-MEN!"

Jazz: She just sits there, staring at him with a confused and bewildered look. "Ooookay then! Well, tonight, we have a special show for you guys as "The Black Leone" Ced will be in action! Also, Spring Tigress will face MEDUSA in a rematch, and it's a #1 Contender's Match for the Demolition Title as Damien Crowe will go one-on-one with Jason Malice!"

Rodney: "MAY THEIR SOULS BE DAMNED TO HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY UNLESS THEY TURN THEIR SINISTER WAYS OVER TO THE LORD ALMIGHTY!"

Jazz: "...Oh this is gonna be an interesting one. But right now, we're about to have an appearance from Chris Blade!"

Unusual Habit (by Silent Partner) plays, and out walks Chris Blade in a regular black shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. But unlike the usual times where he was full of life and energy, he walks out calmly and silently. There was no theatrics from him as he looked around the crowd, who broke out into a "REVOLUTION" chant! Chris stoically walked to the ring, avoiding eye contact with everyone around him.

Jazz: "This is the first time anyone's seen Chris Blade since New Horizon….and I've never seen him look so down and…almost depressing."

Rodney: "THE LOST SOUL FOUGHT AGAINST THE POWER OF GOD'S WILL AND FAILED! HE BELIEVED IN THE POWER OF MAN TO STAND TALL, BUT NOW HE BELIEVES THERE IS NO OTHER WAY BUT GOD'S WAY! CAN I GET AN A-MEM!?"

Jazz: "...I don't know if that was the only cause, Rodney. Nonetheless, Blade has an announcement regarding his future in wrestling."

Blade enters the ring and grabs a mic. He looks around as the crowd chants "REVOLUTION" before speaking.

Blade: "...I'm going to be straightforward with everyone: Revolution annihilated me. My attempt to stand against them ended with me physically torn apart and made a complete fool out of. But what's worse about the ordeal is that the Revolution showed me something I, admittedly, have been trying to ignore: I can't help but wonder if my time really is up.

Chris Blade takes a deep breath.

Blade: "With each fight I had with them, I can't help but feel that I'm being left in the wrestling history books further away from the future. Nothing lasts forever… especially wrestling careers. And when there's nothing left to fight for, then it's time to say goodbye. So thank you all for the memories, good and bad and weird. It's been a hell of a ride from the very end…"

Chris calmly places the mic and goes to leave. But before he does, Malagueña Salerosa by (Avenged Sevenfold) plays, and out walks Adrian Lord and Katie Striker. Chris watches them bump fists and walks down to the ring. Katie & Adrian enter the ring and look at Chris. They smirk at his cautious expression as Katie grabs a mic. She paces back & forth in front of Blade while Adrian stands there, studying Chris.

Katie: "Chris Blade…." She chuckles. "A bit too premature for a bold move like that, isn't it? But Adrian & I…we understand what you're going through. That feeling you have…that feeling of being irrelevant…a waste…pure nothing….we know that feeling all too well, Chris. In fact, Adrian & I sympathize with where you are in life. Lesser people would fall apart if they went through what you experienced. And yet…you're still here. You're moving. Albeit with a limp, but you're still moving. You're walking, talking, breathing. You're still alive… but filled with doubts. You're uncertain about if you belong, but we're here to give you an out. We don't want to be your enemies, Chris. We're here to give you an offer: a chance to be special again."

Lord comes face-to-face with Blade with a smirk on his face.

Adrian: "All you need to do…is join us…be Tranquillo!" He opens his eyes and raises his fist in the air to Chris.

Chris stays quiet looking at Adrian's offer to fist bump. He looks to the crowd then back at Adrian. He looks directly at Adrian.… and walks out of the ring. Adrian slowly lowers his fist as he & Katie smirks to themselves. Chris Blade simply walks away with his head down, leaving the two of them alone in the ring.

Jazz: "No response from Chris Blade…I can't help but wonder if there's anything left in him anymore. Blade just looks…finished."

Rodney: "HE IS A SOUL WITHOUT THE GUIDING LIGHT OF GOD! ADRIAN AND KATIE OFFERED HIM A PATH TOWARDS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SALVATION, BUT CHRIS BLADE HAS DECIDED TO ALLOW HIS SOUL TO BE DAMNED FOR ALL ETERNITY!"

Jazz: "I wouldn't call Adrian & Katie 'righteous.' But either way, interesting events that we just saw unfold. When we come back, we're gonna turn it over to Hannah with the Battlefield Report!"


((Ad Break))


The screen cuts back to Hannah in the interview room. There was a glass table where she was sitting and a monitor placed behind her.

Hannah: "Welcome, everyone, to the ICW Battlefield Report! I am Hannah, and I am here to recap all the noteworthy events that took place this past episode of Battlefield! With New Horizon coming & going, one takeaway was some notable arrivals to ICW. One of these arrivals include a man with a personal vendetta: Jacob Uso!"

The monitor shows Jacob Uso standing over Aiden Black, who was put through a table.

Hannah: "We heard Jacob's reasoning and motivation over the recent attacks which are directed towards getting revenge over his cousin, Raptor Reigns. And later in the show, Jacob made good on his promise by assaulting Aiden. After a quick win from Lord, Jacob stormed the ring and went on the attack that ended with him splashing Black through the announce table! With Furno set to return soon, and the whereabouts of Raptor unknown, has Jacob formed the cracks in the shield of ReVengeance?"

The monitor then cuts to Revolution surrounding Carson in the parking lot.

Hannah: "Speaking of attacks, we found out that there was a brutal one that took place after New Horizon. As a defeated and frustrated Carson was about to leave the Toyota Center in Houston, she found herself surrounded by Ava Knight and the rest of Revolution. Little words were exchanged as Revolution went on the attack against The Heartbreak Chick! And they left one final message to Carson by throwing her through the back windshield of her car! Hopefully soon, we'll receive an explanation for this sudden attack! Back to you, Jazz!"


The screen cuts back to commentary.

Jazz: "Revolution seems to be rapidly expanding across ICW. And with the attack on Carson, I don't think there's anyone, man, woman or team, that can stop them! And with Jacob Uso on the warpath against Furno, Aiden, and especially Raptor, no one is safe."

Rodney: "THE LORD OF LORD LOOKS DOWN ON JACOB USO FOR UNPROVOKED ASSAULT AS WELL AS REVOLUTION'S ATTACK! BUT GOD ASKS THAT CARSON AND REVENGEANCE FINDS IT IN THEIR SOULS TO FORGIVE GOD'S CHILDREN!"

Jazz: "Forgiveness? It'll be a miracle if they choose to come back and forget! Something tells me there's more chaos to come! Let's get to our first match of the night."

The lights in the arena flash around in a different array of colors as Icon (Instrumental) (by Jaden Smith) hits the PA System. Smoke comes up onto the stage as Ced walks out staring down at the ground. After a few seconds, he looks up and spits water out in a mist as he then makes his way down the ramp. Once he reaches ringside, he stops to take a look at the crowd before making his way to the steps. He walked up the steps and made his way to the corner. He climbed the turnbuckle and raised his fists in the air.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Charlotte, North Carolina, standing 6'3" & weighing 265 lbs: 'The Black Leone' CED!"

Jazz: "Ced recently made an appearance on Battlefield in an unprovoked attack against the former World Champion: Will Ralston. When asking for a quote, Ced responded by saying: 'Will was the guy carrying my bags when I was the top star everywhere! I just reminded him of where he belongs.'"

Rodney: "CED HAS CLEARLY BEEN BLESSED BY GOD WITH THE TALENTS OF A GIFTED ATHLETE! HE EVEN CAME UP TO ME AND SAYS HE PRAYS GOD FOR GIVING HIM THE SKILLS TO BE THE TOP STAR GOD MADE HIM TO BE!"

Jazz: "Well here in ICW, Ced needs to start at the bottom and work his way up to that level like others here."

"And his opponent, already in the ring, from Atlanta, Georgia, standing 5'10" & weighing 193 lbs: 'The Man With the Most Heart' MASON RIVERS!"

Mason waves to the people, but Ced snatches the mic from the announcer.

Ced: "Nah. This isn't happening. I'm not about to waste my time in the opening match of some thrown away show again. Especially with another scrawny little pencil neck loser like this guy here." He motions to Mason. "I'm a main event level talent! I've been a star longer than this guy has ever been alive! So you can get out of my ring because you're wasting my time! Get lost! NOW!"

The crowd boos as Ced yells at Mason to leave again. Mason puts his head down in shame before turns to leave. "That's right, do the right thing and walk away." Ced tells him. "You don't wanna be up against a guy like me. Save yourself the pain & embarrassment-" Superkick by Mason! The crowd pops as Ced stumbles back!

Jazz: "Looks like Mason isn't gonna let Ced talk down about him!"

The bell rings as Mason Superkicks Ced again! Ced stumbles and falls to his knees. Mason then attempts a leaping Roundhouse Kick- Spear by Ced! Ced nearly Spears Mason in half, and the "Black Leone" is LIVID! He begins to beat Mason down and smash his forearm against his head! The crowd goes silent as Ced lets out his frustrations on Rivers. He then grabs him by the waist and hits a Deadlift German Suplex release! Mason flew halfway across the ring before crashing down against the corner. Ced gets up and grabs Mason by his hair. He scoops him up on his shoulders, marches around the ring, and drops him with the Death Bomb (Fireman's Carry Neckbreaker Slam)! Ced places his hands on his chest for the pin.

"Here is your winner: CED!"

Rodney: "WE HAVE WITNESSED THE LORD'S BLESSING IN WORK THROUGH HIS HOLY SON, CED! MAY GOOD FORTUNES AND WONDERFUL BLESSING BARE FRUIT IN JESUS NAME!"

Jazz: "Uhhh…right. But this was a quick win for Ced as he continues his journey to the top."

The referee tries to raise Ced's hand, but Ced pushes him away. Ced held his fists up in victory which earned him more boos. The referee helps Mason up…but Ced BLASTS him with his Creeping Death (Running Lariat) to the back of the head! He then scoops Mason up once more and drops him with a second Death Bomb! Ced then picks up his mic and stands over Mason's body.

Ced: "I told you all…I will NOT be treated like a second-rate talent! I REFUSE to be put on the levels like a Mason Rivers, a Will Ralston, or an Asher Darma! I am the Ultimate Wrestling Athlete! I am the first true WFA legend! And I will DECIMATE anyone who stands between me and what will be mine: the ICW Heavyweight Championship!"

Ced drops the mic and storms out of the ring as the crowd chants "HAS-BEEN!"

Jazz: "A disrespectful display by Ced tonight…a bully who feels that everything already belongs to him."

Rodney: "CED IS A MAN OF GOD WHO KNOWS OF GOD'S BLESSING! HE WILL NOT LET THE SINNERS OF THE WORLD KEEP HIM FROM REACHING THE PROMISED LAND!"

Jazz: "If Ced doesn't get himself under control, he may end up losing everything before gaining anything…"


The scene cuts to a pitch black room. Everything remains black…until Michael Chaos & Brian Ravage walk out from the dark. Suddenly, a third person walks up beside them: a 5'8" muscular built figure wearing a black hoodie.

?: "Michael Chaos. Brian Ravage. I'm their Ace of Violence…I am Jenny Ace. And we are the Nation of Violence."

The figure removes the hood and reveals to be a tanned skinned, half white and half black woman with braided black hair, a strong jawline, and brown eyes.

Jenny: "For a very long time, NOV have lost sight of who they are. Chasing glory, fame, championships… we were content with waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos."

Brian: "That ends now."

Michael: "We're not concerned with having fame or glory. We're here to bring violence!"

Jenny: "And I'm the one who's gonna help them. It doesn't matter if it's in a cage, the squared-circle, or on the streets…Violence will be the order of the day. What we did to Street Dreams was a reminder of who we're meant to be! In this Nation…"

Brian: "WAR is PEACE!"

Michael: "CHAOS is ORDER!"

Jenny: "And VIOLENCE is LAW!"

The three of them step back in the darkness as everything goes black again…


((Ad break))


The screen cuts back to Hannah in the Interview Room.

Hannah: "Welcome back to the Battlefield Report! This past Battlefield, we saw a challenger rise up and a champion calling out everyone!"

The monitor displays Phoenix pinning Edward Mercury in the ring.

Hannah: "The war between La Rebelion & the Lords of Wrestling seems to have taken an interesting turn. On this past Battlefield, Edward Mercury looked for some redemption against Phoenix after Phoenix pinned him at New Horizon. But it would be the 'Bird of War' who would walk out victorious over 'The Antagonist'...and then waste no time calling out Chris Owens for the title AND name of ICW International Champion! And with the way things have been brewing between both sides, it'll only be a matter of time before those two will meet one-on-one, likely for the championships."

The monitor then shows Mark Jacobs in his sit down interview with Jazz Conway.

Hannah: "We now shift from the International to the Heavyweight. On this episode, our own Jazz Conway conducted a sitdown interview with the newly crowned Heavyweight Champion, Mark Jacobs. And it was no short of intense and cutthroat. The 'Bane of Existence' held nothing back as he essentially claimed the ICW roster lacks any credible challengers to face him for the championship while even daring Mr. Neal & Ms. Espinoza to prove him wrong and find him someone that's on his level. In his words, Mark feels 'he's the star attraction and the greatest because he is the ICW Heavyweight Champion.' For right now, we'll have to keep an eye on who Alexis & Evan will find to contend against our Heavyweight Champion! Back to you, Jazz!"


The screen cuts back to commentary.

Jazz: "Sitting down with Mark Jacobs...I can say for certain he believes every single word he says. Call it confidence or arrogance, but Mark Jacobs thinks he's untouchable, and the mere idea of someone being better than him could be enough to set him off."

Rodney: "MARK IS A MAN OF GOD WHO TESTS THE PATIENCE OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY! HE WOULD BE WISE TO THANK GOD FOR HIS BLESSING INSTEAD OF PRAISING HIMSELF! ONLY THEN WILL MARK RECEIVE HIGH FAVORS FROM HIS CREATOR!"

Jazz: "We'll have to wait & see what happens next with Mark and the title scene. Right now, it's a match between two new faces to ICW."

Born Too Late (by Middle Class Rut) starts to play. Out runs a tanned Mexican-American with a decent frame, brown skin, brown eyes, blue long hair that covers his face (the blue part tends to hang over his face, Nakamura style), & a skeleton tattoo that traces down his spine. The guy is wearing blue wrestling tights (with black lines down the sides & "GRAY" written down both sides in white), black wrestling boots, and a blue leather jacket that has "Vegas's Golden Child" written on the back. The guy looks around the arena and sprints to the ring. He rolls in and runs up the corner, raising his arms in the air and surveying everyone.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, standing 5'11" & weighing 205 lbs: LUKE GRAY!"

Jazz: Straight from Sin City, this former Battle Of Los Angeles winner looks to make a sudden impact in ICW. Luke loves to throw caution to the wind and use his entire body as a weapon!"

Rodney: "A MAN WHO MOVES WITHOUT THE FEAR OF GOD IS A MAN WHO SHOULD BE FEARED! THIS MAN IS A MAN WHO NO ONE SHOULD FEAR BECAUSE HE MOVES WITH THE UNHOLINESS OF SUGAR THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT!"

As Luke jumps down and stands in the corner, the lights suddenly go out and the tron stays black. Loaded Lean (by Lil Loaded) starts to play, and the whole screen goes gold! Soon, black words in cursive slowly appear, showing the name "TREY GOLD!" Out walks slowly a caramel skinned man with an egotistical smirk and stepping to the beat of his theme song. The man has narrow shoulders and strong arms, a slender torso and chiseled abs, a medium waist, round hips, and medium-size legs. His black hair is very long and fine, and is always un-styled. He has an oval face, a rounded jaw without facial hair but with freckles and defined cheekbones. His eyebrows are bushy, and his arrogant, wide eyes are black while his nose is bulbous and he has small lips. The man is wearing gold and black armband on both arms, black tights (with golden lighting designs on them and a crown on the top part of the pants), black boots (with golden highlights), a golden scarf (covering the bottom half of his neck) a black trench coat, and several golden chains around his neck and a golden pair of shades. He slowly walks out, his egotistical smirk on his face as he glances at the crowd. As he walks down, he taunts the crowd by showing off his look and gear while bragging about being "the new Gold Standard of ICW". Finally, he makes it to the ring, walking up the steps and glancing at Luke Gray, laughing at him. Then he hops in the rings and does his famous, moving bow before coming back up and spreading his arms like he was some sort of god.

"Introducing his opponent, from New York, New York, standing 5'9" & weighing in at 208 lbs: 'The Golden Child' TREY GOLD!"

Jazz: "Trey Gold is a guy who believes everything he touches turns to gold! He sees himself as the Golden Child and feels he's the future of wrestling. At a young age, Trey has racked up some success which includes IWGP Jr. Championship! He's a show off that's quick on his feet & agile as they come! Don't blink cause this match my go quick!"

Rodney: "THIS MAN IS NOT A MAN OF GOD! THIS MAN IS A FALSE IDOL ROBED IN FOOL'S GOLD! GOD SHOWS HIM NO FAVORS!"

Jazz: She stares at him in his overly colorful attire. "...Uh-huh."

Once Trey took off his coat and chains, the bell rings. The two go face-to-face as Luke offers a handshake. Trey looks at it for a bit, then nods. He sticks out his hand to shake...then slaps Luke across the face! Everyone boos, and Trey laughs at them in response. While Luke held his face, Trey went for a Schoolboy with the tights.

2!

KICKOUT!

Both roll to their feet, and Trey catches him with a Superkick! Luke falls to a knee as Trey runs the ropes. When he charges at Luke, Luke ducks past him and Handsprings off the ropes. Trey slides out of the way as Luke backflips on his feet. When Trey charges at him, he goes for a Back Body Drop…only for Gold to roll over. Luke pushes him off and runs the ropes..except Trey grabs his hair and wanks him down to the canvas! He boasts and mocks the crowd, causing them to boo!

Jazz: "A hot start to this match shut down by a disrespectful act from the ever boastful Trey Gold towards Luke Gray!"

Trey grabs Luke and throws him in the corner. He stomps away and uses his foot to choke Gray. The ref counts to four and Gold lets go. After slapping him upside the head, he whips Luke across the ring only for Luke to run up the corner and flip over Trey. He then runs the ropes, ducking Trey's clothesline attempt, and connects with the Handspring Back Elbow! Trey rolls out of the ring as an energetic Luke kicks back up. He sprints across the ring, runs up the turnbuckle, and hits the Diving Senton to Trey!

Rodney: "LUKE GRAY FALLING ONTO TREY GOLD LIKE A SINNER FALLING OUT OF GOD'S DIVINE BLESSINGS!"

Luke was full of adrenaline! He picks Trey up on his shoulders and recklessly smashes him into the barricade! He lifts Trey up again, and runs around ringside! He then CRASHES each other into the barricade again! Luke gets up and rolls Trey back in the ring. As Trey stumbles back up, Luke rushes in and hits a Shotgun Dropkick! Trey goes flying in the corner! Luke scoops him up for a Blue Thunder Bomb, but Trey lands behind him! Luke spins around just as Trey hits the Gold Rush (Running High Knee)! Luke goes down hard, but Trey isn't done! He waits for Luke to get up, and when he does, Trey runs and hits The Crowning (Spinning Heel Kick)! Trey makes the cover!

1!

"Here is your winner...TREY GOLD!"

Jazz: "That was a sudden impact from The Golden Child! Trey Gold gets the debut victory over Luke Gray!"

Rodney: "THIS LOSS FROM LUKE GRAY WILL LOSE HIM FAVOR WITH THE LORD ALMIGHTY!"

Trey gets up and raises his hand in victory. He leans down over Luke's body and glances at the camera. "You're looking at the future of ICW: the next Gold Standard! If you wanna drip your future in nothing but gold, gimme a call!" He smirks at the camera and turns to the crowd, taunting them.

Jazz: "An impressive showing from Trey nonetheless. And it seems to me he's putting his talents out for sale. Wonder who would ever think about picking him up."

Rodney: "THIS SINNER NEEDS TO BEG GOD FOR FORGIVENESS! NOT ASK OTHERS TO WORSHIP HIM LIKE THE FALSE IDOL! MAY HIS SINS BE CLEANSED OR HE BE CONDEMNED TO HELL!"


Dungeon's Keep

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The scene opens in the city of Calgary where on one of the buildings was a sign that said "Dungeon's Keep." Inside, it was a sizable gym with a large wrestling mat placed in the center with standard gym equipment surrounding it. On the mat, Adrian Young was busy trading wrestling holds and transitions with another guy while Gregg Hart paced around watching. Young immediately pinned his head to the mat with his knee while wrapping & pulling at the other guy's arm & leg. The guy tapped which made Gregg stop the match.

The scene then cuts to Gregg & Adrian sitting cross-legged on the mat looking at the cameraman.

Adrian: "My name is Adrian Young. I am 'The Canadian Dragon,' and I've spent many years trying to perfect my skills in pro wrestling."

Gregg: "My name is Gregg Hart. I am a member of the legendary Hart Family through my grandfather, the legendary Stu Hart, through my uncle, Bret 'Hitman' Hart, and through my father…the late, great Owen Hart. And I say this with all of the pride and joy in the world. And this is The Dungeon's Keep."

The scene shows clips of Adrian & Gregg now trading wrestling holds to a group of trainees sitting in a circle & watching. Gregg had Adrian pinned on his back and had him in a Guillotine. Adrian swings left & right before rolling Gregg on his back, grabbing his arm, and pulling it into an Armbar.

Adrian: "For those who don't remember me, well I don't blame you. I stepped in ICW for a bit looking to see if I could make it to the top by myself." Adrian scratches the back of his head and sighs. "Admittedly, I could barely make it on the cards to wrestle. Being in that spot is…is not easy for someone like me: dedicated to spending their life doing this."

Gregg: He nods in agreement. "That's something I know too well. And I'll be honest, I wasn't sure about getting back in the wrestling ring myself. My family… We have our demons. Especially when it comes to wrestling. There's still some bitter feeling about me heading to WWE, but I regret nothing. I've learned many lessons about myself and wrestling as a whole. Especially since…" Gregg starts to choke up a bit as his eyes turn red. He goes quiet as Adrian pats him on the back.

The screen showed the history of the Hart Family, with a baby Gregg being held by Owen with Stu standing next to him.

Gregg: "There were so many people that loved my father. So many stories and hearing how he inspired a lot of wrestlers…being there helped me feel closer to him." He wiped some tears away.

Adrian: "Me being one of them. Watching his family & their rich history in Canada is what inspired me to get into wrestling. I owe a lot."

Gregg: He takes a deep breath to collect himself. "Despite WWE being fruitful & healing, my time there was rather brief. I felt I belonged as a coach & trainer. I've always had a desire to train the next great wrestler and run my own Hart Dungeon… which is how Dungeon's Keep was founded. In my head, I thought I was done with wrestling. I didn't have much aspirations to get back into the ring, but then Adrian walked in one day and asked me to help with his training."

The scene shows Gregg and Adrian training by themselves. Gregg was giving Adrian tips on wrestling holds as they trade Headlocks & various Takedowns.

Adrian: "I needed to rethink and regroup after my first failed run in ICW. So I heard about Dungeon's Keep & the owner being the son of Owen. So I went to check it out, start from the basics again. At first, it was just him as my trainer."

Gregg: "But…I don't know. Something just clicked with us. I just felt that chemistry. That "It" factor all great tag teams have with each other. It's hard to explain, but like my two uncles, I thought Adrian & I could work well together in the ring due to how similar our styles are."

Adrian: "I've had my fair share of tag teams in my career. But no one's understood my style & wrestling philosophy more than Gregg."

Gregg: "I still had my doubts, but I decided to take a chance and see how this goes. Training Grounds was my first match in a long while…as well as our first tag match together. And… yeah, I think we can make it to the top as a team."

Replays of Gregg and Adrian's tag team debut plays as they walk to the ring and pick up the win over Street Dreams.

Gregg: "I know we still have ways to go before we even think about getting a tag title shot-"

Adrian: "We're still debating on what the team name should be. It's not as easy as we first thought."

Gregg: "Yeah…long ways to go. But we wouldn't want it any other way. Because we love the grind, the struggle, putting in the work and getting stronger. Plus…a part of me still owes it to my father to go out and wrestle. I owe a lot to my dad, just for having provided the wrestling business for us to get into."

Adrian: "Well said." He pats his shoulder.

Gregg: "Thanks. But I don't want my legacy to fool anyone. I'm my own person, and so is Adrian. We have our own identity and our own style."

Adrian: "Nothing and no one's gonna stop us from being the next Tag Team Champions. We have the heart of a dragon, and we're not gonna stop until we make it to the top!"

The scene ends with Gregg & Adrian posing in front of the Dungeon's Keep logo on the wall.


((Ad Break))


The screen cuts back to the Interview Room.

Hannah: "Welcome back to the Battlefield Report! This past Battlefield had their fair share of attacks, but there were two in particular that took everyone by surprise."

The monitor shows Angelica attacking Darla & the Misfits on stage.

Hannah: "This past episode, Angelica Rhodes made her intentions known when she confronted Daria about being the next woman to challenge for the Women's Title. Daria responds by calling her 'Boring' and denying her request. Later on, an enraged Angelica made her feelings known by attacking the Misfits and throwing Kirsi off the stage. No update yet on Kirsi's condition but we'll get an update on the Misfits and hopefully a response from 'The American Princess' about her brutal actions."

The monitor then shows CJ Hawk & Katashi Suzuki standing over the Wayne Bros while beating up security.

Hannah: "And speaking of brutal actions… Probably the most noteworthy event to take place in this past episode was the Tag Team Championship open challenge. Now earlier in the night, Katashi Suzuki took credit for CJ losing his composure at New Horizon and even offered him the chance to team up. Well we would receive our answer when The Wayne Bros made an open challenge for the Tag Team Titles. What we thought was CJ coming out to protect the Waynes from Katashi turned into a sudden and unprovoked assault as CJ aligned himself with Katashi, winning the tag titles in the process. Now we do have word that CJ will explain himself on the next Battlefield, but personally I doubt there's any reason he can give to justify what he did. Back to you, Jazz."


The screen cuts back to commentary.

Jazz: "To say I'm shocked about CJ Hawk… I still don't even know what to say."

Rodney: "IT IS ALWAYS SAD TO SEE A MIGHTY MAN OF GOD LOSE HIS WAY TO THE PROMISELAND! LORD, FORGIVE THE SINS OF THE HAWK CALLED 'CJ' AND LET YOUR HOLY SPIRIT BE THE GUIDING LIGHT BACK INTO YOUR FAVOR! A-MEN!"

Jazz: "You know what? I couldn't agree more. Up next, the rematch between MEDUSA and Spring Tigress!"

The End of a Heartache (by Killswitch Engage) starts to play. When the lyrics start, MEDUSA walks out with her hands behind her back and a cold expression on her face. She looks at the booing crowd before walking to the ring. MEDUSA enters and stands in the center with her hands behind her back and a stoic pose.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Moscow, Russia: 'The Russian Gorgon' MEDUSA!"

Jazz: "A few weeks ago, MEDUSA came up short in her in-ring debut against Spring Tigress. However, she would attack Tigress after her match and demand a rematch in order to right the wrongs she feels Tigress made."

Rodney: "MEDUSA MOVES AS A WOMAN OF GOD AND WILL BLESS THE SOUL OF THE TIGRESS SO SHE MAY FOLLOW IN GOD'S HOLY LIGHT!"

As MEDUSA takes off her long coat, Ike! Tiger Mask (by Shonan no Kaze) starts to play. The crowd cheers as Spring Tigress crawls onto the stage. She rises up and does a tiger pose before crawling down the ramp. Entering the ring, Tigress then climbs the top rope and lets out a roar.

"Introducing her opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: 'The Wildcat' SPRING TIGRESS!"

Jazz: "As I mentioned, Spring Tigress secured her first win over MEDUSA in her debut match! But after MEDUSA's assault a few weeks later, she agreed to a rematch in order to prove that she can be MEDUSA again!"

Rodney: "THIS CHILD CLEARLY NEEDS JESUS! NO CHILD OF GOD SHOULD HAVE TO PLAY DRESS UP AS A FALSE IDOL TO BE BELOVED! GOD DID NOT CREATE HER TO BE AN ANIMAL BUT A HOLY WOMAN OF GOD!"

As Tigress poses on the top rope, MEDUSA runs over and shoves her off the top! And Tigress falls down and crashes horribly on the floor! MEDUSA, dropping her stoic demeanor, rolls out and beats Tigress down to some boos! She then grabs "The Wildcat" and slams her body repeatedly against the barricade! MEDUSA then grabs her leg and pins it between the steps and the ring post! Spring Tigress was too beaten to fight back! And MEDUSA SLAMS the steps against the post, shattering Tigress's leg! The referee runs out of the ring to try and check on her while MEDUSA stands there, watching intensely at the damage caused by her.

Jazz: "A brutal sneak attack by MEDUSA to Spring Tigress! She clearly has no issue with underhand tactics to prove she's superior!"

Rodney: "THIS WOMAN IS DOING THE LORD'S WORK TO REMOVE THE DEVIL'S SPIRIT FROM HER!"

MEDUSA rolls back in and watches the referee check on Tigress. "The Wildcat," despite her leg badly injured, crawled her way in the ring and stood in the corner. The referee tries to talk her out of it, but Tigress refuses to back down and wants to fight MEDUSA. The ref relents and calls for the bell. And MEDUSA immediately hits a Basement Dropkick to Tigress's Leg! She pulls her towards the center and locks in a Single Leg Boston Crab! Tigress was already yelling in pain! But she fought the urge to submit! She crawls over and grabs the ropes! But MEDUSA wouldn't release the hold! So the referee starts counting, and she lets go at four. Spring Tigress tries to pull herself up, but her opponent grabs her bad leg again! Tigress desperately tried to punch her, but MEDUSA dodges the swings and hits a brutal Dragon Screw! Tigress clutches her leg in extreme agony! And MEDUSA pressed her boot down on the leg, posing over her opponent!

Jazz: "It's remarkable that Spring Tigress wants to continue, but MEDUSA's attack on her leg has taken away so much of 'The Wildcat's' offense!"

Rodney: "THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WITH US TONIGHT, JAZZ! MEDUSA IS USING GOD'S BLESSINGS TO TRY AND BETTER THIS LOST SOUL! SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE BROKEN TO BE FIXED!"

MEDUSA releases her foot and grabs the legs. But Tigress twists her body, traps her legs around MEDUSA's waist, and gets in the Wheelbarrow Victory Roll!

1!

.

2! KICKOUT!

Tigress limps up as MEDUSA rolls to her feet. "The Russian Gorgon" charges at Tigress only to get Back Body Dropped over the ropes to the floor! The crowd begins to rally behind "The Wildcat." She pulls herself up, takes a deep breath, and hits a Slingshot Corkscrew Crossbody! The crowd pops for the move, but it clearly took a bigger toll on Tigress's leg. She had trouble getting back up, but she used the barricade to pull herself to her feet! She limps over and picks up MEDUSA, throwing her back in. Tigress climbs on the apron and hits a Slingshot Cutter to MEDUSA. Grabbing her ankle, she rolls her over and covers.

1!

..

2!

..KICKOUT!

Jazz: "Spring Tigress is putting up a hell of an effort! But there's no hiding the enormous amount of pain she's in right now!"

Rodney: "SHE IS FIGHTING AGAINST GOD'S WILL! SALVATION WILL NOT COME TO HER! ONLY PAIN AND MISERY!"

"The Wildcat" limps up and drags MEDUSA back to her feet. She hits multiple rapid forearms to the face, stunning her. But Tigress went for the Northern Light Suplex, but couldn't lift her up. Her injury caught up to her and she collapsed to a knee. MEDUSA takes the chance to grab Tigress and hit a Gutwrench Suplex! MEDUSA rolls and lifts Tigress in the Gutwrench again. But this time, "The Russian Gorgon" hoists her up and hits the Bucklebomb into the middle turnbuckle! With Tigress out cold, MEDUSA drags her body back to the center, flips Tigress on her stomach, and applies the Inverted Cloverleaf! MEDUSA takes a knee, locking in the hold tight!

Jazz: "The Cloverleaf is locked in tight! Will MEDUSA force her to tap out!? How tough is this tiger's will!?"

Rodney: "SPRING TIGRESS NEEDS TO SUBMIT HERSELF TO THE WILL OF GOD AND SUBMIT TO MEDUSA! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!"

Tigress weakly claws her way to the ropes, but MEDUSA pulls her back to the center! "Submit, child!" She yells! But "The Wildcat" still had too much fight to give up! Tigress reaches over and pulls at MEDUSA's leg! MEDUSA trips and falls, and Tigress takes the chance to apply a surprising Ankle Lock! Tigress gets the hold in tight as MEDUSA now struggles to not tap! But "The Russian Gorgon" rolls forward and sends Tigress flying between the ropes to the apron! MEDUSA rolls out to meet her there. She grabs Tigress and attempts a Piledriver, but Tigress fights out of it! She instead gets up and hits several punches to MEDUSA. Tigress then hooks MEDUSA and hits the Tiger Bomb on the apron! Both women roll back in the ring, but Tigress stumbles up first! She grabs MEDUSA and attempts the Sliced Bread out of the corner! But MEDUSA throws her aside, causing Tigress to crash on her bad leg! MEDUSA, clutching her head, grabs Tigress by the leg and puts in the Single Leg Boston Crab again! Tigress wanted to fight free, but the injury and pain was too severe…and she was left with no choice but to tap out!

"Here is your winner: MEDUSA!"

Jazz: "The young tiger put up a valiant effort! But that attack before the match proved fatal, and MEDUSA has secured her first win in ICW!"

Rodney: "AS I HAVE SAID, JAZZ: IT WAS GOD'S WILL THAT SPRING TIGRESS SUBMIT! AND NOW SPRING TIGRESS MUST LEAVE HER TIGER WAYS TO FOLLOW IN THE GODLY PATH!"

The crowd boos as MEDUSA stands over her, arms raised in victory. But then MEDUSA places her foot down on her head! MEDUSA leans down and tells her "Little girls do not belong…especially ones that play dress-up." She grabs Tigress's head…and RIPS OFF her Tiger Mask! Spring Tigress immediately covered her face as MEDUSA held up the mask!

Jazz: "What a disgusting display by MEDUSA! Ripping off a Luchadora's mask is taking away what makes them who they are! Nothing but disrespect from 'The Russian Gorgon!'"

Rodney: "MEDUSA IS DOING GOD'S WILL AND TESTAMENT! REMOVE THE FALSE SYMBOL! NOW THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT FOR THE CHILD IF SHE DOES NOT FOLLOW GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS PATH!"


The screen cuts backstage to Koji Yoshida & The Gambler talking to each other in Japanese. Koji notices something and gets Gambler's attention. They turn and see Clayton Palmer & Jade Madison walking up to them. Clayton & Jade awkwardly approached with shame on their faces.

Koji & Gambler were about to walk away when Clayton & Jade called out to them.

Jade: "Wait! Hold on!"

Clayton: "Just hear us out!"

Koji & Gambler stopped and looked at each other. They soon turn to face Clayton & Jade.

Clayton: "Look…" he sighs. "We've messed up…on more than one occasion. We've been getting in the way when our presence wasn't needed. We thought of ourselves as the solutions to your problems, but we then turn into the problems. Especially with our… heated debates."

Clayton looks at Jade… who looks away and stands there quietly. Clayton clears his throat, getting her attention. She then sighs.

Jade: "My methods….may have not been the most explementary. I haven't helped in the way that would help you two shine."

Clayton: "We're saying all this to say… we apologize. For everything. And we would… would like to negotiate a business partnership. But not as individuals… as a team. Because as much as we want to individually represent one of you, we can see you guys have respect and willingness to work together."

Jade: "And if you two can do that…then maybe Clayton & I can put our differences aside for the both of you. Cause all we want is to help bring the absolute best out of you guys."

Clayton: "So…do we have a deal?" He asks, sticking out his hand. Jade does the same thing and offers hers.

Koji and Gambler think for a moment. They carefully look at the handshake…then back at each other. As Clayton & Jade watch on nervously, they bow and accept the handshake!

Clayton: "Outstanding!" He says, excited. "With my strategies & guidance, the four of us will succeed in-"

Jade: "Hold up." She interrupts. "Your strategies?! Who said we were following you?"

Clayton: He looks at her dumbfounded. "You don't think we're supposed to follow YOU, right? If that's the case, then that right there proves that we need to follow my strategies if we want to succeed!"

Jade: "Your strategies would lead us off a cliff if we're lucky enough! MY strategies will ACTUALLY guarantee these two will have gold around their waists!"

Clayton: "Fools gold if you're leading us! I'll make sure they have real gold over their shoulders & a lot of green in our pockets!"

Jade: "How can you bring in green when YOU still owe ME money!?"

Clayton: "This is a business partnership! My success is your success! And my debts are your debts! Isn't that right, boys!?... Uhhh boys?"

Clayton Jade turns around and sees that Koji & Gambler had walked off, leaving a note in Japanese that says "GET ALONG!"

Jade: "Way to go, genius! Your mindless rambling scared them off!" She says while slapping him in the arm.

Clayton: "Oh MY mindless rambling!? I don't recall YOU-" he points at her. "-Saying something to keep them from running off! Now I gotta fix your mess again!"

Jade: "You mean the mess YOU-" she points back at him. "Keep causing!"

Clayton & Jade continue to yell and argue with each other as the screen fades to black.


((Ad break))


The screen cuts back to the Interview Room.

Hannah: "Welcome back to the Battlefield Report! This past episode was full of reasons to celebrate!"

The monitor shows Sofia and Katarina brawling during La Rebelion's party.

Hannah: "And the show opened in style with a La Rebelion celebration for Sofia Reynoso after she captured the WFA Women's Championship at New Horizon. But the party would be interrupted by Mr. Neal and the debuting Katarina Love, who would then challenge Sofia for the title one day after capturing it. But despite the last-minute change, Sofia successfully defended her title in what people are calling her first of many defenses."

The monitor then shows DJ yelling and giving Natalia a chair while Sabre was held down by Caesar & Dylan

Hannah: "The end to the Battlefield was not as festive, however, as DJ Kingston celebrated his victory over Jason Sabre with the rest of Monarchy, who are now calling themselves Generation M. After self-indulging in his own success, even calling himself 'The Astonishing Ace of Pro Wrestling' now, the party was interrupted by Natalia Rodriguez and, eventually, Jason Sabre. Sabre was looking for payback but the numbers game caught up to Sabre eventually. DJ did try to attack Jason with a steel chair, but he decided to try and make Nattie hit him instead to show her loyalty to Gen M. But this allowed Sabre to break free and send the trio running. To say there's a whole lot of unresolved issues between DJ, Nattie, and Sabre would be an understatement. Where does Natalia stand? How will Sabre get his hands on DJ? We'll have to tune in to Battlefield to find out what happens next! Back to you, Jazz!"


The screen cuts back to commentary.

Jazz: "This Jason, DJ, Natalia situation has quickly spiraled out of control! I can't blame Sabre for being pissed off! But what I'm really concerned with is what Natalia's mind is really at? Was it professional or was it personal?"

Rodney: "NATALIA RODRIGUEZ IS A WOMAN WHO HAS SUCCUMB TO THE EVIL SIN OF LUST! SHE IS A WOMAN WHO WANTS BOTH AND IT HAS PUT HER OUT OF GOD'S BLESSINGS! BUT DJ KINGSTON HAS EARNED THE FAVORS OF GOD AND I CAN ONLY PRAY FOR MORE BLESSINGS TOWARDS THE ASTONISHING, HOLY ACE OF PRO WRESTLING!"

Jazz: "...Riiiiight. Up next is our main event: Jason Malice goes one-on-one with Damien Crowe in Demolition Title #1 Contender's Match!"

The arena goes black as For Whom the Bell Tolls (by Metallica) plays. White smoke suddenly rises and covers the stage. Damien Crowe rises from the smoke as a white spotlight shines down on him. He walks to the ring…as the lights cut back off again! The white spotlight returns, now shining on Crowe sitting cross-legged in the ring, facing the stage.

"The following contest is a #1 Contender's Match for the ICW Demolition Championship! Introducing first, from 'The Other Side of Darkness,' standing 6'2" & weighing in at 230 lbs: 'The Revenant' DAMIEN CROWE!"

Jazz: "There's always a sudden chill when 'The Revenant' makes his presence. But both he and Jason Malice have been on a bit of a cold streak since Immortality 2. This is a match that both can't afford to lose but only one can win."

Rodney: "HEATHENS! SINNERS! DESPICABLE! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS BOTH MEN TO TURN AWAY FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS!"

Bury The Light (by Victor Borba) plays. When the lyrics start, Jason Malice walks out carrying his red & black baseball bat. He wears red and black wrestling tights (with "One True Devil" written on the back) along with matching color knee pads (with a horned Devil skull on them), elbow pads (with the same thing), red & black boots, and kick pads (that has a devil with inverted wings on them). He also has his fists wrapped in black tape and a torn up hooded cloak with torn sleeves and devil skull mask. Malice just walks to the ring, rolls in, and points the bat at Damien. Crowe stands up and stares at Malice, who slowly removes his mask.

"Introducing his opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, standing 6'1" & weighing 237 lbs: 'The Wrathful' JASON MALICE!"

As soon as Malice takes off his mask, Damien runs and kicks him across the face! Jason goes down hard, clutching his now broken nose!

Jazz: "Good lord what a shot to the face! Damien Crowe isn't messing around!"

Rodney: "I PRAY THAT BOTH MEN KNOCK THE DEVIL OUT OF THEIR SOULS!"

The crowd was taken aback by the sudden kick! But Damien didn't even think about their response! He just goes over and starts punching Malice in the face! The referee had to pull Damien away from him! But Jason got up and BLASTS Crowe with a Forearm to the face! The ref just stepped back and decided to ring the bell.

Crowe stumbles to the corner which allows Malice to punch him over and over again! But Damien suddenly strikes back with a STIFF elbow to the jaw! Malice stumbles backwards, and Damien begins to kick him across the chest! Damien wasn't holding anything back as each kick knocked the wind out of Malice's lungs. Jason falls to his knees, and Damien runs the ropes…and gets his head knocked off by a BRUTAL Lariat from Malice! Damien nearly landed on his neck and was out cold! Jason quickly makes the cover!

1!

KICKOUT!

Jazz: "Kick Out at one! How the hell did Damien Crowe survive getting his head taken off!?"

Rodney: "BY USING THE UNGODLY WAYS! LORD MAY YOU SAVE THESE TORTURED SOULS LES THEY SUCCUMB TO ETERNAL DAMNATION!"

Malice was not shocked at the quick kick out! He lifts Damien up and attempts the Reverse Exploder Suplex! But Damien broke free by repeatedly slamming his elbow across the back of Malice's head! Malice was severely weakened by the stiff blows to his head! Crowe connects with a Back Elbow to the face followed by a Spinning Elbow Strike! Jason stumbles, and Crowe follows up with a Back Suplex! Jason tries to sit up, but Damien runs and knocks him down with the Penalty Kick! Crowe makes the cover!

1!

2!

KICKOUT!

Jazz: "This has been nothing but stiff and brutal since the opening second! Which man is hungrier for success!?"

Rodney: "THEY BOTH WILL FAIL IF THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE WORD OF GOD!"

Jazz: "Oh will you give them a break!?"

Damien gets up and looks down at the prone Malice. He then uses his foot to lift him up. He stared deep at Jason's soul for several seconds..and went for Divine Judgement (Spinning Heel Kick)! But Jason catches his foot and spins him around! Malice plants Damien hard with the Reverse Exploder in the corner! Damien slowly pulls himself up as Malice runs across the ring! He charges back…and gets hit with the Last Rights (Bicycle Knee Strike) to the broken nose by Crowe! Malice stumbles back and collapses, grabbing his nose! Damien limps forward and picks Jason up- Sudden Death Superkick by Malice! Crowe collapses against the ropes to keep him up! Jason wipes the blood from his mouth and grabs Damien! But "The Revenant" lets out a STIFF Forearm to the jaw! Malice steps back, Crowe walks forward, and eats a Forearm from Malice! The two began trading Forearms back & forth in the center of the ring! The Forearm exchange soon broke down into double Headbutts to each other! Both men stumbled, but neither went down!

Jazz: "Jesus Christ these two want to beat each other senseless!"

Rodney: "DO NOT USE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN, MS. CONWAY!"

Damien swiftly strikes with a Spinning Back Elbow to the head! He follows up with a Chest Kick & an European Uppercut! He turns to run- Malice grabs Crowe and hits a spike German Suplex! Malice holds on and hits a second Suplex! Crowe could barely stay up, but Malice held on and planted him with a third German Suplex, this time with the bridge!

1!

2!

.KICKOUT!

Malice stood up and dragged Crowe by his hair. Jason pulled his arm and went for a Standing Lariat! But Damien rolls and puts Jason in the Cross Armbar! But Malice manages to keep his hands gripped to stop Crowe! He then rolls over and deadlifts Damien in the air! He gets Crowe on his shoulders and BLASTS him with a Death Valley Bomb in the corner! Malice gets up, rubbing the blood off his face, and drags Crowe towards the center. Jason grabs his face and applies the Mandible Claw! Crowe was struggling to breathe as he was lifted to his feet! Malice went for the Dark Side of Suffering (Mandible Claw into the Choke Breaker), but Damien hit the Reaper's Curse (Snap Double Underhook DDT) out of the air! Damien rolls to his feet and signals for the end! Malice stumbles up, turns, and gets BLASTED with a second Reaper's Curse! Damien makes the cover!

"Here is your winner: DAMIEN CROWE!"

Jazz: "It was intense! It was hard-hitting! But Damien Crowe has secured the win and will receive a future Demolition Championship Match!"

Rodney: "NEITHER OF THEM ARE WINNERS! THEY ARE SINNERS! AND UNTIL THEY TURN THEIR LIFE OVER TO CHRIST, THEY WILL RECEIVE NOTHING BUT HELLFIRE AND ETERNAL DAMNATION!"

Crowe has his hand raised while he rubs his sore jaw. Malice sits against the corner, disappointment written over his face. He and Damien soon locked eyes for a moment, and Jason simply shook his head and left the ring. Damien watches him leave then sits cross-legged in the center of the ring. He spends his arms, causing the lights to dim down and a white spotlight to shine over him.

Jazz: "Well, Rodney, it's been….interesting having you join us here again."

Rodney: "I WANNA THANK GOD FOR BLESSING YOU ALL WITH MY PRESENCE TO PREACH HIS HOLY WORD! A-MEN!"

Jazz: "...Riiiight. Well, this has been Training Grounds! I've been Jazz Conway, and we'll see you all on Battlefield! Until next time!"


The screen cuts to Malice limping backstage after his match. Despite his broken nose and bloodied mouth, he is clearly disappointed and angry with himself. He bangs his fists against a crate and puts his head down.

Malice: "Again… I failed again… why… why can't I succeed… what's wrong with me…."

?: A voice spoke up behind him. "You look lost."

Malice lifts his head up and turns around. He sees a strange and familiar woman sitting cross-legged on top of some crates next to him. This 5ft tall, 115lbs woman has a messy and poofy bob cut that is half purple and half black, pale skin, pink eyes with heart shaped pupils, a porcelain doll face paint (with a few cracks), and a pear physique body while wearing old, raggedy clothes. She looks at Malice with a silent expression with a hint of insanity hidden in her eyes.

Malice: "You're… that woman… from a few weeks ago… Luna, right?"

The woman, Luna Lucifina, stares back at him, not responding to his question.

Luna: "...We've been watching you, Jason Malice. For a long time" She says quietly. "And you've been invited to be part of something that's bigger than you…me…all of us."

Malice: "...What…what are you talking about?" He asks, confused.

Luna: Once again, she doesn't answer his question. "Look for the symbol. Follow the path. And it will change your life forever."

She then unfolds her arms and drops a black card right in front of him. Malice picks it up and looks at it. On one side, there was a dark blue & purple grim reaper symbol. On the front was only one word: ROUGE. Malice looked up again, and Luna was gone.

The screen ends with Malice looking over the card one last time…
