ACW Season 1: Hope vs Despair Chapter 8: Episode 6: Anarchy Reigns, a wrestling fanfic

(1 year earlier)

"We shouldn't be here right now. Your father would not want this." Nevah Maria said as she she stands in an elevator with Katarina Love.

"My father is dead. It doesn't matter to me if he likes this or not. I want to do it." Katarina said.

"You inherited millions of dollars from your dad. Why would you want to do this?" Nevah asked, only for Katarina to smile.

"It's simple really. I get whatever I want. And what I want is for the middle and lower class people to continue suffering and crying. Even more than what happened when the Ten Children of Despair held up that school nine years ago and forced eight thousand students to commit suicide." Katarina said to the shock of Nevah.

"You didn't just say that." Nevah said

"I did. I mean, they were just a bunch of poor kids. Them killing themselves on national TV wasn't really tragic. They probably would've become criminals anyways. They were mourning the future criminals of America with all those candles." Katarina said, before the elevator stopped. The two sliding doors retracted and Giselle stood there.

"Who's your friend?" Giselle asked as Katarina stepped out with Nevah following after.

"Nevah Maria. She followed me here." Katarina said.

"Unless she's joining Despair, I don't want her in my building." Giselle said.

"But Despair needs my funding. If you want me to align myself with you guys then you should let her stay." Katarina counter, but Giselle was unphased by the threat.

"Do you honestly think you could outmaneuver me with such petty threat? I can see through your eyes. You would stab that woman in the back with a knife if it meant that you could join Despair. You love the pain we cause to ones below you. You want to be apart of us. We don't want to be or have to be apart of you." Giselle explains. "But I understand why you keep her around, so I'll let her stay for now."

Katarina smiles

"I'm glad that you see it my way." Katarina said.

(Brooks Mansion)

Freddy Escobar sits in a chair with Caesar Montana standing right next to him.

"What does Jacob want boss?" Caesar asked.

"Maybe he wants to hire you for security?" Freddy sarcastically states

"Really?" Caesar said

"No! Do you not remember a few days ago when you got beaten up by a women and then that gang of rebels called Anarchy? You freaking suck!'' Freddy shouts

"He's not the only one." Jacob Brooks said as he walks into his office. He looks at Caesar. "Get outside and guard the door."

"Yes sir." Caesar said, before leaving the room. Three seconds later, a butler enter the room.

"Dammit Caesar." Freddy said quietly

"Get out Jarold! I want to talk to my future brother in law in private." Jacob said and the butler instantly walked out, sensing the hostility. Jacob waits a couple seconds, letting the sound of silence get to Freddy, who tried his best to keep his cool. Jacob loosens his tie as he paces back and forth behind Freddy.

"So why am I here?" Freddy finally asked, causing Jacob to stop. Jacob then spins Freddy's chair around and bends over near his face.

"Are you kidding me? You're here because you put my sister in danger. Not only did you fail to get her into the Womens Championship tournament-" Jacob said

"You're the one who got pinned." Freddy said

"Only because you didn't do enough damage beforehand, but your failure to get her into the tournament is not why you're here. It's because you put her in danger last week." Jacob said

"That's Caesar's fault." Freddy said

"You couldn't protect her! Anarchy attacked her and you did nothing but get beat up like that useless waste of a condom standing outside my door! She could've gotten her arm broken like the other girl!" Jacob shouts

"You don't think I know that!" Freddy shouts back, standing up.

"I don't think you know anything! Hell, I don't think you're man enough to marry my sister and help me run my oil company." Jacob said

"Yeah? Is that what you think? You don't think I'm man enough. Someone who had his ass wiped with dollar bills and knows nothing about hard work is telling me that I'm not man enough. I am man enough! I'll take on all of Anarchy by myself. Tomorrow, I'm going to get my revenge on those four for touching my fiance. Just watch." Freddy said, before storming out of the room.

"You better." Jacob said, before hearing his phone ring. Jacob sees it's from an unknown caller but recognizes the zip code. "That's from Mexico."

He answers

"Hello, this Alexis Espinoza…" a female voice said.

"This is Jacob Brooks The Third. How did you get my number?" Jacob questions

"My father was a friend of your fathers. When your father passed, he helped with the funeral. Well, my father passed last year and I took over his businesses." Alexis explains.

"What? Do you want a business meeting or something?" Jacob asked.

"No." The girl spoke. "I want to talk about your future Brother in Law. You know, Freddy Escobar."

"What about him?" Jacob said.

"He stole five million dollars from my father." Alexis said.

"I can pay that back." Jacob said

"No, because he didn't just steal from a business tycoon. He stole from the kingpin of a drug cartel." Alexis said, making Jacob's eyes widen in shock. "He's a millionaire because he stole from my dad. My dad went soft in his later years, but he's gone now and I'm in charge. Your brother in law is going to get hunted down, so out of respect for your family, you better get out while you can. This is your one warning, because people are coming to America for his body."

"Can we negotiate this?" Jacob asked

"No. Because Freddy's going to be a lesson for anyone who crosses me. You don't mess-"

Jacob closes his eyes as sweat drips from his forehead

"-with the Queen of the South."

Just give me a reason

(The first shot is of Jason Sabre with his head held down as he sits with his back against the wall with only street lights providing illumination for the dark night)
To keep my heart beating

(Detrick Cyrus is seen looking up at the night sky as his arms crossed and pressed against the railing on the balcony of Hope HQ)
Don't worry, it's safe right here in my arms

(Natalia cries into the shoulder of Rey Patera)
As the world falls apart around us

(Freddy is seen holding hands with Talia)
All we can do is hold on, hold on

(Then there hands separate as we see Jacob Brooks in the background of this, smirking)
Take my hand

(Giselle is seen in the throne room, looking a little down)
And bring me back

(She then looks behind herself and it zooms in on Azriel sitting on his throne with Micah Hyde next to him. Following that the insturmental kicks in with quick clips of Azriel hitting CJ Hawk with Death's Embrace, then Jason Suplexing Freddy from the Apron to the outside)
I'll risk everything if it's for you

(Jason sees Giselle sitting on the hood of his car)

A whisper into the night

(It then shows the two kissing)
Telling me it's not my time and don't give up

(Ray Kiran is seen poorly shadow boxing)

I've never stood up before this time

(Will Ralston spears Jason onto Thumbtacks, before skipping to a different part of the song)
So stand up, stand up
(We see staredowns of Detrick and Azriel, followed by Giselle and Adela Harroway, before skipping to the end of the song)

Just tell me why baby

(Furno is seen smoking a cigarette with Nyx beside him)
They might call me crazy

(Detrick does a Springboard Moonsault through the Announce table of Furno)
For saying I'll fight until there is no more
(Jason is seen bleeding heavily as he stands over Will Ralston)

Fureri wo fukunda senkougankou wa kankakiteki shoudou

(Azriel is seen choking Giselle, before it flashes back to Jason sitting at the same spot from the beginning, but with Giselle next to him)
Blinded, I can't see the end
(Richard Montoya is seen running down the halls of ACW as images of Anarchy appear behind him)
Look how far we made it

(Ash Russo is seen with a baseball bat)
The pain I can't escape it

Kono mamajya mada owaraseru koto wa dekinai deshou

(Detrick Cyrus is seen still looking at the stars, before Natalia hugs him from behind. CJ Hawk and Erin flanks his sides)
Nando kutabarisou demo kuchi hateyou tomo owariwanaisa

(Azriel sits on his throne as images of Jason Sabre, Giselle, Casey Harris and Detrick Cyrus appear)
It finally begins...
(A title of Card of ACW Hope vs Despair that's divided by Jason Sabre in the middle with Detrick Cyrus on Hope's side with with blue and silver tint as Azriel is on the Despair side with a Red and black tint.)

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ACW. Richard Montoya is not here tonight for some reason, but we still do have a great night of action as we are quickly approaching Glory Road." David said

"Tonight is the last Quarter Final match as Katarina Love, a beautiful and rich Despair member takes on that scum that belongs in jail, Nyx Rosewood. I hope Nyx loses like her boyfriend." Evan said

"A little harsh. Also on tonights show, Lacey Alvarez of Anarchy will take on Talia Brooks. Talia wants revenge for what Lacey and Anarchy did to her last week in an apparent beatdown in the locker room. Speaking of which, Rayleen Barnetts arm has been broken as a result of that attack and she will sit out the rest of this season." David announces

"At least it wasn't Talia." Evan shrugs

"Anyways, up next, it will be Anarchy's Roman McIntyre and Jasper Cage vs Anthony Dre and Raptor Reigns." David said

I testify, this is not a secret meant to keep
Your love, like fire, spreading from my heart straight to my feet

"This match came about after Anthony Dre challenged Anarchy for attacking them after last weeks show." Evan said

"Why did they attack them?" Asked David

"Wrong place, wrong time." Evan said

As I crawl through dirt and mud
I'm sinking under
In a grave of life that was
I saw a light

"Roman and Jasper are half of Anarchy. Jasper is the one who allegedly planned out the attacks from last week." David said

"According to my sources, Roman is the powerhouse of the group." Evan said

"I think we can see that. We don't need dirtsheets to tell us it." David said

"You don't respect good journalism." Evan Neal said

The bell sounds as Jasper and Anthony start the match. Jasper does a side headlock take, before Anthony gets back up and does his own headlock takedown. But, like him, Jasper gets up. Jasper does a light punch to Anthony's back before pushing him towards the ropes. Jasper rebounds off the ropes and tries to hit a shoulder tackle, but Anthony sidesteps it. Anthony catches him with a jumping knee to the back to send him to the ground. Anthony tries to go for a standing moonsault, but Jasper rolls out of the way. Anthony Dre lands on his feet, but Jasper back rolls onto his feet and dropkicks him from behind. Jasper then follows up with a jumping knee drop across the forehead. Jasper then drags Anthony by his arm and tags in Roman. The crowd cheers with some scattered boos thrown in.

"Are these fans really cheering these hoodlums over Hope? They are criminals on the level of Furno and Nyx." Said Evan.

"No offense to Raptor and Anthony, but they don't exactly have the cool factor or charisma of Anarchy." David explains

"LA is a Hope city though." Evan said

"They cheered Jason Sabre over Will Ralston a couple weeks ago. People aren't mindless sheep." David said

Roman stomps away at Anthony, before picking up the much smaller man. Roman grabs Anthony's arm and pulls him up into the air, before taking him back down with a clothesline. Anthony's feet didn't even touch the ground when Roman did that and the crowd cheers the show of power. Roman puts a boot on Anthony's chest, going for a pin, but gets a 0.23, before Anthony pushes his foot off. Roman picks Anthony up and throws him into a neutral corner, before hitting a running clothesline against it. Roman then drags Anthony up to his shoulder. Roman runs toward the opposite corner and lawndarts Anthony into the top turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes! Anthony turns around, dizzy as Roman runs off the ropes and connects with a massive clothesline that sends Dre spinning in the air. A loud 'Roman' chant starts up as McIntyre looks at Raptor who's in the corner. Roman then picks Dre up and biel throws him into his teams corner. Roman challenges Raptor and Raptor Reigns forcefully tags himself into the match.

"Here we go. Raptor Reigns is the 6'5, 265 pound member of Hope who is a decorated Military veteran. On the other side is Roman McIntyre, the 6'6, 270 pound muscle of the renegade group known as Anarchy." Evan said

"The crowd is feeling it right now as Roman is showing some balls by challenging Raptor." David said

Raptor enters the ring and slowly walks to the middle of the ring where Roman McIntyre stands. The crowd is 80-20 in favor of Roman with loud Anarchy chants. Raptor strikes first with an uppercut, but Roman fires back with his own. Roman then delivers a couple right hands, but Raptor fires back with a right hook. The samoan then hits a headbutt to the Irish/Greek Anarchy member. Roman backs up as Raptor follows him to deliver a Axe Handle Smash to take Anarchy's big man down. Raptor picks Roman up and lifts him up for a Somoan Drop, but before he could fall back, Roman slips off and his a discus Elbow to the back of the head. Roman then turns him around and connects with a Lariat straight into his knee! Raptor writhes in pain over the Lariat/Backbreaker combo, before Roman tags in Jasper.

Jasper immediately gets on the attack by connecting with a running double knee press. Jasper then locks Raptor into a Dragon Sleeper. The bigger man slides over to the ropes with Jasper still on him. Jasper milks the entire five count to wear down the bigger man, before letting go. Jasper helps the bigger man up by using his riot vest and deliver a sharp elbow over the head. Jasper then does a sit out neckbreaker on Reigns. Jasper then grabs Reigns and tries to put him on the top turnbuckle. Jasper tries to climb up, but Reigns headbutts him and Jasper falls off. Raptor then feels his leg get sweeped by Roman McIntyre! The ref adomonishes Roman, who ignores him as Raptor Reigns sits on the top turnbuckle, holding his man parts. Jasper then runs toward him, leaps up onto the top turnbuckle and connects with a Superplex, before rolling up with Raptor Reigns and hitting a Falcon Arrow, completing the Shining Moment! He goes for the pin!

…..

"Absolutely impressive power by Jasper who was able to easily lift Raptor Reigns up in one motion." David said

…..

…...

…..

….

Anthony Dre breaks it up at 2.50!

"Anarchy has been dominating a majority of this match. I'm very impressed with what they can do in the ring." Evan said.

Anthony jumps to the middle rope as Jasper gets up and connects with a Springboard Stunner. Roman enters the ring and chase after Anthony, causing Dre to leave the ring. Roman then is forced back into his corner by the ref. Meanwhile, Raptor Reigns picks Jasper up and connects with a Powerbomb. He goes for the pin, but the ref is talking to Roman McIntyre, who is ignoring him and just looking at Raptor. Anthony Dre enters the ring again, but this time, Roman pushes the ref out of the way and charges at Dre. But Raptor jumps up from his pin attempted and catches Roman on his shoulders. Raptor goes for the Cyclone (F-5), but McIntyre lands on his feet behind him. Raptor turns around into a Superman Punch. Roman then turns to see Anthony Dre lunging at him with the Dre Kick (Superkick)! But Roman ducks and Dre hits Raptor with it! Raptor goes down as Anthony looks surprised at what he did. Roman turns Raptor around and kicks him in the gut, before hitting him with a Killshot (Powerbomb into his knees)! Roman rolls out of the ring as the ref is confused at all the mayhem. Jasper then puts his arm over Raptor.

….

…..

…

"Anarchy picks up a very impressive win at 8:32. Roman and Jasper showed us what they got in similar fashion to Lacey." David said

"I wouldn't say that. Roman and Jasper ran this match, unlike Lacey's match last week." Evan said, before noticing Ash and Lacey enter the ring. The music dies as the crowd chants "Anarchy" as Ash looks on with a mic in his hand.

"Looks like you guys know who we are. We are Anarchy. Now, I could come out here and talk about how badass we are. Or how cool we are, but I'm not. You already know that stuff. You look at us and you know it. You guys know that we're the bad guys, but you're still going to cheer us. But I digress. I don't care about cheers. I care about one thing. Last week, I said that you would pay the price for what you did to us. But instead of taking it like someone with a shred of honor, you are hiding. Where are you? Where the fuck are you?! Face us! Face your Ch-" Ash said before being interrupted by the sounds of Power by Kanye West plays.

I'm living in that 21st Century, doing something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it

Ash looks annoyed as his impassioned promo is cut off by Freddy Escobar and Caesar Montana, who is carrying a briefcase. Freddy is about to speak.

"No!" Ash cuts off. "You two aren't needed here. We beat the fuck out of your coke snorting ass, your personal Paul Blart, that MMA chick that no one gives a fuck about and that billion dollar bitch that has no clue when she's being played. I'm done with you two. So unless you want to get beaten down again, then walk back, because I'm not here for you. I'm here for-" Ash is then cut off

"Be quiet your homeless scum. You have a lot of nerve commanding Freddy Escobar around. I don't bow to you four. You four are people who work for people like me. I honestly don't care about who you're after or why you want revenge on them. I want revenge on you for what you did to my wife, so I have a proposal for tonight." Freddy said.

"I'm not in the mood to negotiate." Ash said, before Jasper stepped up.

"Hear him out." Jasper said

"You have one minute before I send Roman up there to end both of you." Ash said.

"Do you see this briefcase that Caesar is holding. It has ten thousand dollars in it. I want revenge on you for what you did last week. So instead of having Lacey and Talia main event tonight. How about you and I go at it for the honor of my future wife!? " Freddy said getting a surprising pop from the fans.

"So let me recap. You are offering us ten thousand for a match with me?" Ash said

"No. If you win, I'll give you the money." Freddy said.

"Okay, I'll play your game, but let's be honest Freddy. You don't love Talia and you aren't fighting for her honor. You just love her big brothers oil company and you're fighting so you can own it." Ash said, before dropping the mic and pissing off Freddy. Bulletproof hits as the crowd 'oohs' at the line from Ash.

(Despair HQ)

A semi muscular with blue eyes and short black hair sits on a bench shirtless. You can see the stitches and scars on his skin from his battles. Suddenly Giselle enters the room. He dries his hair with a towel

"Jason Malice, it's been a while since I've seen you." Giselle said.

"Azriel sent me to Thailand to take care of some traitors who thought that they could escape his wrath." Jason Malice said as he stands up and motions toward six stitches on his upper pectoral muscle. "I picked this up from a knife fight."

"I have been told that you disposed of all of them and their bodies." Giselle said

"Correct." Malice confirms.

"Then I have one more mission for you. Bring us Casey Harris. Alive, not dead." Giselle said as Malice looks straight in her eyes.

"No." He replies

"What?" Giselle questions. "You're denying Azriel. Remember that he was the man who saved you from your past when your wife killed herself and attempted to take you to hell with her."

"I know. That's why I said no. You ordered me to hunt down Casey. Azriel did not. Sorry Queen, but I live to serve Azriel, not you." Jason said

"Do it or I will hurt you and make these scars seem like childs play." Giselle threatens.

"No. You are being insubordinate and stepping out of your bounds. Giselle, Azriel didn't put me on this assignment for a reason. So I have to respect it." Jason Malice said, before putting a shirt on and walking toward the door.

"You would be helping him." She says

"Don't try and manipulate me into doing it. I'm smarter than that. Besides, I'm busy with other things." Jason said before walking out of the room

"If you were smart then you would've said yes. Now you're on my bad side… and when the time comes, you will fear the Rose of Sin." Giselle said to herself.

(Commercial)

(Hallway)

Casey is walking down the hall, minding his own business when he notices Mason Locke and Kyle Stevens walking down the halls together.

"Hey." Casey dully greets. "Thanks for the save last week."

"Don't thank me. Master Rey asked me to do it." Mason said.

"Why?" Casey asked

"Because Azriel wants you." Mason said

"Why?" Casey asked, even more confused

"I don't know. All we know is that Brutus was ordered to kidnap you and I have to protect you." Mason said

"What about you?" Casey asked, turning his attention to Kyle.

"Me & Brutus have a history. We used to be in this MMA group together called 'Fight Club'. We trained together, but he never got along with anybody. Although everyone didn't mind. He was scary. I saw him kill a man during a fight once...his name was Wolfgang." Kyle said

"I've seen my own share of deaths. It doesn't get easier. It just gets more depressing." Casey said, before turning back to Mason. "Anyways, you don't need to protect me. I walk alone."

Casey then walked away, leaving Kyle and Mason alone.

"I wish I could stop, but Rey told me to keep an eye on him." Mason said.

"You gotta do what you gotta do and what I gotta do is take a leak." Kyle said, before walking away from Mason.

(In the bathroom)

Kyle walks into the bathroom and goes to a urinal. He unzips and we hear the sound of the yellow waterfall. As Kyle does this, he doesn't notice Brutus Vicious walking into the bathroom behind him. Anger was the only word that could describe his face. Brutus then hits Kyle behind with a right to the back of the head, causing Kyle's head to hit the handle of the urinal. Brutus turns Kyle around and kicks him in the gut. He then picks him up and does a release Powerbomb back first into the urinal.

"You wanna fuck me over, you piece of shit!" Brutus yells at the toilet water covered man, before kicking him in the face with the bottom of his boot. Kyle's face is sandwiched between the urinal and the boot. Kyle then slumps onto the floor. "Enjoy, your fucking concussion."

Brutus then walks away, but stops and turns back around. Brutus picks Kyle up and biels him into the door of toilet, causing it to break.

"Fuck you." he says, before finally leaving

(In the arena)

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been told that it is time for the last match in the first round of the ACW Womens Championship tournament." David said.

The paranoia is in bloom, the P-R
Transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs

"Here comes the criminal." Evan said.

"Last week, her boyfriend came close in a great match against Detrick Cyrus." David said

"And like him, she will lose." Evan said.

You put a sour little flavor in my mouth now
You move in circles hoping no one's gonna find out
But we're so lucky
Kiss the ring and let 'em bow down

"And now Katarina Love has arrived." David said

"And what a woman she is. Someone with her class deserves to be Champion. She is my favorite to win this entire thing." Evan said

The bell rings and the two women tie up immediately. Katarina changes it into a arm wrench as the crowd chants 'You both suck' at them. Katarina holds onto the arm, before twisting it around and putting him in a hammerlock. She keeps pressure on Nyx, before Nyx walks toward the rope and grabs it. The ref separates the two. As the ref pulls Katarina back, Nyx jumps at her and connects with a running dropkick. Katarina gets back to her feet only to see Nyx running off the ropes. Thinking quickly, Katarina caught Nyx off the rebound with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Katarina then runs towards the ropes and comes back with handspring Phoenix, impressive the originally hostile crowd. She quickly goes for a pin.

…..

Kick out at 2.01!

Katarina drags Nyx to her feet and slaps her across the face. Nyx takes that as a wake up call as she fires back with a chop across the chest. She does a couple more to quickly take advantage, before forcing Katarina's back against the rope and Irish whipping her. But she fakes her out and pulls her back in to connect with a elbow to the face. Nyx pulls her up and goes for a snap DDT. She connects as the crowd chants 'Go to Jail.' This causes her to yell at some of the fans, which turns out to be a bad move, because she gets rolled up from behind by Katarina.

….

…..

Kick out at 1.75

Nyx quickly rolls out of the ring to get away, but Katarina follows her outside and grabs her by her hair. Kat then slams Nyx's face against the ring apron, before throwing her back into the ring. As Katarina gets on the apron, she receives a shoulder thrust to the abdomen by Nyx. Nyx then runs off the opposite set of ropes and comes back at Katarina, only for Katarina to slingshot back into the ring with a slingshot clothesline. Katarina doesn't waste much time as she picks Nyx up and delivers a quick Snap Suplex. Katarina stands up and taunts to boos, before grabbing both of Nyx's legs.

"Love lockdown is about to be locked in." David said

"It's a modified Liontamer." Evan states

Katarina slightly turns Nyx's body attempting to get her on her stomach, but Nyx is able to free one leg and kick Katarina in the chest to force her to let go. Nyx gets to her feet, but Katarina catches her with a discus punch, to stop her from building momentum. Katarina then lifts Nyx onto her shoulders, possibly going for a KatBuster (Firemans Carry Facebuster), but Nyx slides out from the front and catches her with a falling DDT. Nyx gets to her feet. Katarina drags Nyx to the bottom of a corner and uses her foot to choke Nyx. The ref begins his five count, and Kat breaks it right before the five. The ref begins to admonish her. Katarina ignores the ref and bends off to slap Nyx in the face.

Nyx Rosewood, then got angry. She stands up and stares her down, only for Katarina to throw a right hand. Nyx blocks it and delivers her own right hand. Nyx follows with a couple more, before Katarina jumps out of the ring to avoid Nyx. However Nyx joins her by doing springboard forearm from inside the ring to the outside onto Katarina.

"Nyx has gone crazy." David said

"You shouldn't have slapped her." Evan sighs

Nyx then picks Katarina up and looks back at the steel steps. Nyx whips Katarina into the steps, but Katarina stops herself from hitting them. She then turns around and ducks underneath Nyx's superkick. Nyx foot ends up hitting the steel post. Nyx collapses to the floor, grabbing her leg, before Katarina picks her up and throws her back into the ring, seeing an opportunity. Katarina slides in and stomps at her bad leg, before pulling it up and dropping an elbow across it. Katarina then follows by picking Nyx's leg up and simply pulling at it. Katarina then grabs her other leg and finally locks in the Love Lockdown. Katarina pulls on the legs of Nyx while her knee is planted on the back of Nyx's head and Nyx's body is in the air. Nyx grips her black hair as her leg is in more pain than ever as the crowd has no sympathy for the crook. Nyx has nowhere to go and no one to save her, so she finally taps.

"Just like Furno last week, Nyx loses at 6:14." Evan said

"The Semi-Finals have been set. Next week Katarina Love will take on Lacey Alvarez and Natalia Rodriguez will take on Adela Harroway." David announces.

"We could end up with a all Despair finals for Glory Road if Katarina and Adela win." Evan suggests

"Or better yet, a no Despair finals for Glory Road if Hopes Natalia and Anarchy's Lacey win." David suggests

"With opening round in the books and no criminals in title matches, we can move on to our main event. It will be Ash Russo versus Freddy Escobar with 10,000 dollars on the line. This nobody from the streets could make more money than your entire comedy career in one night." Evan said

"Ignoring that. Freddy claims that he's doing this for his wife, but Ash thinks otherwise, but is willing to go along with it for the money. The main event is next." David said

(Jason Sabre's locker room)

Jason is seen watching the show from a couch.

"It looks like Despair wins another one." Jason said, before hearing a knock on the door. "I don't have a good feeling about this. Come in."

Suddenly, Ray Kiran walked into the room with a 'Sabre is Bae' T-Shirt and a goofy smile on his face.

"What the hell are you supposed to be?" Jason questions at he looks at Kiran, who then plants down a box. "What is this?"

"I heard that you like drinking, so I got you a 12 pack of Capri-sun." Ray Kiran said.

"Okay, second question, why are you here?" Jason asked as he got up from the couch

"Oh...no reason. I mean, the two of us are just bros…"

"We'll never be bros." Jason said, causing Kiran to fake laugh

"You're so funny Jason. That's why I like you. Anyways, I was thinking that you and me can start hanging out. I have a Nintendo at my mom's place. We can be the Super Mario Brothers and I'll even let you be Luigi. Then we could microwave some Pizza Rolls and talk trash about all the people who bullied us while listening to my Spotify Playlist and playing Pokemon cards." Kiran suggested

"How about we don't hang out, you hop onto the magic short bus that you came on and go home instead?" Jason said, already annoyed.

"Wait, wait, wait. I have another reason why I'm here." Kiran said

"No, I won't go to prom with you." Jason said

"No, not that...although, I wish you'd reconsider me when the time comes. I want you to help me fight Anarchy." Kiran said

"Why would I want to fight Anarchy? I have no issue with them." Jason said

"But i do. They beat me." Kiran said

"So did the girl scouts, but you're not asking me to fight them with you." Jason cracks

"That's our second fight." Kiran said, causing Jason to shake his head.

"You're pathetic." Jason states

"Listen, think about it. You're the Ace of Pro Wrestling and I'm the Ace of….um….losing. Yeah. I do that a lot. If we team up, we would be the greatest tag team ever. Think about all the women we'd get-"

"I don't have trouble getting women." Jason said

"Oh...do you have any tips?" Ask Kiran

"Drink bleach and hope your next life is better than this one. Now get out of here." Jason said, before patting him on the back and trying to push him out the door, suddenly the lights went out. They came back on and Jason saw two hooded men in skull masks standing in front of him and Kiran. "Get down!"

Jason pushes Kiran onto the ground as both men lunged at him. Jason caught one with a kick to the gut, but got hit with a punch from the other. However, Jason replied with his own, before elbowing the second one.

"Give me a weapon." Jason shouts at Kiran, before Kiran reaches in his pocket and tosses Jason something. "Is this a Spongebob keychain?"

"It matches my undies." Kiran said, to Jason's disgust, before Jason Sabre drilled one of the skull masked men with it, knocking him down and breaking the keychain. A single tear fell from Kiran's eye as the other masked skull man is seen standing over him. Kiran lets out a high pitched scream, before Jason came up from behind and turned the masked man around and hit him with a high knee strike to the temple, causing the masked man to drop down. Kiran is still screaming like a little girl.

"Will you shut up? He's knocked out." Jason said, before Kiran hugged him with tears in his eyes.

"You're the bestest friend I ever had. You're the first person who's ever saved me from bullies." Kiran said

"Get off me." Jason said, before pushing him off. "God dammit, now I have lard all over me."

"Good job Jason." Came the voice of Micah Hyde who was standing in the doorway

"What are you doing here?" Sabre asked angrily before walking closer. Suddenly, Jason Malice walks into the room and stands in front of Micah. Jason stops in his tracks at the sight of the 6'3 man. "Who the hell is this?"

"Some protection, in case you get too worked up." Micah said

"Why the hell are you sending people to attack me? This is not how you convince someone to join you." Jason said.

"Hmm… you mentioned joining Despair. Is that thought on your mind" Micah said

"That's not the point. Why did you send these clowns to attack me?" Jason asked, a little louder this time.

"Just to test your strength. You are very strong, but you're not strong enough to beat Azriel…" Micah turned his back to Jason Sabre. "...you're not even strong enough to beat Detrick."

And with that, Jason ran toward Micah. However, he stopped in a second by Jason Malice who tackles Sabre down. Sabre tries to wrestle free from him. But Malice quickly puts him in a reverse chinlock to keep him grounded. Kiran is seen hiding behind the couch as all of this happens. Micah Hyde walks over to the Jasons and kneels down to get close to Jason Sabre's face.

"But you can be strong enough to defeat both of them. You are the King of Despair, Jason Sabre. Accept your destiny and allow me to give you everything you want." Micah said

"Fuck you." Jason Sabre said as Micah laughs

"I expected you to be hard headed, but you will realize what side you need to be on one day. Believe me, you will accept my offer." Micah then signals to Jason Malice who lets go. Micah walks out of the room with Malice behind him as Jason sits up on the floor looking at them.

Detrick Cyrus sits in a chair at a dinner table as he watches CJ Hawk poorly attempting to cook with Erin Frost and Natalia in a kitchen. CJ, of course had a chef hat on and a kiss the cook apron.

"CJ, you got egg shells in the cake mix again." Natalia whined

"It's not my fault, I'm didn't go to culinary school, I went to wrestling school." CJ Said

"I went to High School...I didn't graduate." Erin chimed in.

"Why am I not surprised?" CJ said

"Listen, we have to make a good dinner for Detrick before his title match at Glory Road." Natalia said

"Yeah, so get your stuff together Hawkman." Erin said before smacking CJ on the back.

"Hey, I didn't even want to be cook. You guys just made me wear this ridiculous costume and told me to cook." CJ said

"I thought that the apron had magical powers that would make you a good cook." Erin said.

"Why would you think that?!" CJ said, before seeing smoke come out of the stove. "Oh no, my chicken!"

"This was a bad idea." Detrick said as he approached the three with envelopes.

"No it wasn't. I'm sure CJ can fix it." Natalia said

"I'm a wrestler, not a miracle worker." CJ Said.

"It's fine. We can all just go out to eat. Anyways, I just got the mail. You got a package Natalia." Detrick said, before handing her the box. Natalia snatches it out of his hand.

"Presents!" Natalia shouts as she rips through the box and starts throwing packing peanuts everywhere.

"Hey! You got packing peanuts in the soup." CJ said

"Maybe it'll taste edible now." Erin said

"What's that supposed to mean?!" CJ shoots back before noticing the weird look on Natalia's face. "What did you get?"

"Someone sent me some weird type of dental floss." Natalia said

Suddenly CJ's got embarrassed as Natalia held up a pure white G-String. Detrick was also taken aback and looks into the box to see a note. He picks it up and notices it's written in Sky Blue paint

"I was going to wear this for you. We were supposed to have a special night. You rejected me. You forgot about me. I'll make you never forget my name. From, your true love." Detrick said.

"What the hell is that about?" CJ asked

"Why was this person going to wear dental floss?" Natalia questions.

"That's not dental-" CJ tries to explain before Detrick interrupts.

"Throw that away right now." Detrick commands. "It's just some creepy dude playing a prank."

"Are you sure?" CJ asked

"Yeah…" Detrick said after a few seconds of silence. He then walks out of the kitchen and notices a Raven sitting on the table. Detrick is confused by it, but then notices a letter, rolled up and tied around its neck. The Raven stood there as Detrick untied the letter from his neck and opened it. The Raven flew out an open window, before reading the letter

"Come join me for a summit at Despair's HQ…" Detrick said

-Sincerely Azriel"

(In the Arena)

I'm living in that 21st Century, doing something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it

"It is main event time and Freddy Escobar is putting ten thousand dollars of his own money on the line in order to avenge his future wife. Or maybe to impress his brother in law and get closer to the Brooks family fortune." David said

"How dare you assume such things. Freddy loves Talia." Evan said

"Does he really?" David questions

"Yes! They're a great couple. I ship it!." Evan said

"You've hit a new low tonight Evan." David said

Contemplating, isolating
And it's stressing me out
Different visions, contradictions
Why won't you let me out?

"What do you mean? Are you mad that I'm supporting Freddy over this criminal, Ash Russo and those other three criminals that'll be at ringside. This bastard had the nerve of spitting on a beautiful relationship and attacking Talia and Freddy last week." Evan said

"I don't condone his actions." David said

"But all these people that are cheering him do. Why are they jealous of the upper class and supporting this low class scumbag." Evan asked

"Maybe because Anarchy is a winning group. Last week, Lacey advanced to the Semi-Finals and Roman and Jasper won a tag match earlier tonight. Momentum is on Ash's side." David said as the ref is about to ring the bell, but Freddy leaves the ring. Then Caesar Montana steps into the ring as the crowd loudly boos.

"Caesar Montana is going to take Freddy's place." Evan states

"Are you kidding me? After all he said earlier tonight, he's going to have his bodyguard fight his battles. That's just disgraceful." David said as Ash chuckles, not caring.

The bell rings as both men circle the ring. Neither takes their eye off the other. The two tie up, but Ash quickly behind Caesar and pushes the larger man from behind. Caesar turns around as Ash smirk and backs up. Caesar bounces up and down as Ash uses the ropes to stretch. The crowd is firmly behind Anarchy's leader. They both tie up again. Despite Caesar being taller and heavier, Ash holds his ground. They struggle for control, but Caesar's power is shown when he throws Ash into the corner, but the tenacious Ash doesn't miss a beat when he shakes it off and goes back into the tie up with Caesar Montana.

Again, they struggle for the advantage until Caesar's power shines through and he shoves Ash to the mat with a lot of power behind it. Ash wipes his mouth from the ground, checking if he accidentally cut his lip as he looks up at Caesar. Caesar decides to pose in front of Ash, not often getting a chance to do something right. The Los Angeles crowd boos him as he yells at Ash to get up. Ash gets up and locks up with Caesar. This time Caesar backs Ash Russo into the corner. The ref calls for a break, which Caesar allows but Ash hits Caesar with a right hand. Caesar tries to hit Ash back, but the smaller ducks underneath and goes behind Caesar, before literally kicking his ass, getting a laugh out of the crowd.

"Dammit Caesar." Freddy yelled from the outside

"That's just embarrassing." David states

Caesar looks angry as everyone is laughing at him except for Freddy, Evan Neal and Roman McIntyre. Caesar roars like a lion and runs at Ash who leaps over the nearly seven foot man. Caesar turns around to get a arm drag. He gets up and gets a second one. Then a third one. Then a fourth one. Here comes number five. Six. Seven. The crowd is counting at this point. Eight. Nine. Ten. Caesar then rolls out of the ring in a fit of rage, starting to grow frustrated with the smaller man, owning him. Freddy is yelling stuff at Caesar, who is trying to get his head in the game. Ash has enough of waiting and bounces off the ropes trying to do a Suicide dive, but Caesar catches him in mid air and throws him against the announce table. Caesar then deliver a hard right hand to the chin of Ash. Caesar then grabs him and rams him, back first into the announce table while Freddy celebrates, taunting fans in the front row. Caesar picks Ash up and walks him toward the ring, before pushing him inside. Caesar tries to get inside through the middle ropes, but Ash dropkicks him on the side of the head, sending him falling to the ring canvas

"Ash is taking the fight to Caesar." David said

"His speed and intelligence is trumping Caesar's power, but this match is far from over." Evan said

Ash tries to pick Caesar up, but the bigger man ends up tossing the smaller man up into the air and catching him with a haymaker. He goes for the first pin of the match after the pop up haymaker, but only gets a 1.10. Caesar then runs off the ropes as Ash gets to his feet. Caesar Montana attempts a Lariat, but Ash counters it with jumping calf kick. Caesar backs up into the rope and Ash runs toward him only to be back body dropped over the top and onto the cold floor below. Ash hits the floor with a sickening thud as the crowd gasps. The ref tries to restrain Brooklyn's finest, but he quickly gets past him and leaves the ring. Caesar kicks as Ash as he crawls around ringside. Eventually Caesar Montana picks Ash up, near the bottom of the steel ramp. He goes for a Dragon Suplex, but Ash elbows him in the face to break free. Ash then walks forward and sees the opportunity, before running at Caesar like a train. But Caesar is there to catch Ash with a Back Body Drop onto the steel ramp.

"Ash just flew over seven feet in the air and landed on the cold steel." David said

"I told you that this match was far from over. Now Caesar is in control and proving that he's more than just security." Evan said

Caesar looks straight at Ash, who is starting to get up while holding his back. Caesar picks Ash up by his hair and drags him to the ring. Caesar enters, before picking Ash up and hitting a Release Dragon Suplex! Caesar goes for the pin.

…..

Kick out at 2.5!

Caesar then does an elbow drop, before going for the pin again

Caesar picks Ash up and goes for another Dragon Suplex, but he picks him up, Ash gets him arms free and turns it into a Victory Roll.

…..

….

Kick out at 1.99!

Ash then runs at Caesar who picks him up and delivers a nice sidewalk slam, before going for the pin. But it results in another 2.5. Caesar then drags Ash Russo up and puts Anarchy's leader in a bearhug. Ash knows that he can't stay in this hold for too long, so he immediately tries to fight by headbutting Caesar twice on the head. Caesar lets go as both men are dizzy from the headbutts, but Ash still manages to bounce off the ropes only for Caesar to turn the tables with a jumping knee to the face. Caesar then picks Ash up and delivers not one, not two, not three, but four gutbuster in a row. Lacey is on the outside, slightly worried for her boyfriend as Freddy is loving this. Caesar then drags Ash up and takes him to the corner, before hitting him with a couple of shoulder thrust. Caesar takes a second to let the crowd boo as Ash is out of breath. Caesar then irish whips him into the opposite corner, but Russo uses the momentum to run up to the second turnbuckle and jump back at Caesar with a flying DDT! The crowd comes back to life as Ash takes a while to breath, before ascending to top turnbuckle. Only to get cut off by a jab from Caesar. Caesar Montana then military presses Ash off the top and onto the ring mat below.

…..

…

…..

…

….

Kick out at 2.69!

"Ash is fighting with everything he has right now, but Caesar is dominating him at the moment." David said

"Good. Keep at it. Earn your pay Caesar!" Evan cheers

We nearing ten minutes into the match as Caesar picks Ash up and drags him into the corner again. He delivers a four quick shoulder thrust, before backing up and running toward Ash for a fifth one, but Ash gets both his feet up to knock Freddy's security back. Ash then elevates himself to the second turnbuckle, but Caesar swats him off of the air with a hard Lariat! A mix of 'Holy Shit' and 'You still suck' chants are heard as Caesar goes for the pin.

…..

…

Kick out at 2.75!

Caesar drags Ash up only for Ash to headbutt him. Caesar grabs his face as Ash schoolboys him from behind. 1….2….Kick out! Caesar gets up and misses a punch, before Ash rolls him up again. 1….2...Kick out. Ash goes for a German Suplex on the bigger man, but Caesar Montana elbows him in the face. Caesar then goes for another Lariat, but Ash catches the incomming Caesar with a dropsault that sends him reeling! Ash then follow up with a Float Over DDT! Ash goes for the pin

…

…..

Kick out at 2.23

Ash pounds the mat, hyping up the fans as Caesar uses the ropes to get up. Ash runs at Caesar who picks him up into the air again, but this time, Ash catches him with a dropkick. Caesar backs up into the ropes, but comes back to take Ash down with a Lariat! Caesar wants to end up and goes for the Ragnarok (Kneeling double underhook Ganzo Bomb). He gets the double Underhook locked in, but when he lifts Ash up, the Anarchist, wraps both legs around Montana and hits a makeshift Frankensteiner that drives the top of his head into the ring mat. Ash rolls away as Caesar crawls toward the ropes. Ash sees Caesar on his knees near the ropes and uses it as a chance to hit the Tiger Feint Kick! Ash then quickly ascends to the top turnbuckle and goes for his Phoenix Splash! He connects as the crowd explodes in joy as Ash lays on top of Caesar.

Kick out at 2.90!

"Are you kidding me?!" David exclaims

"He kicked out! He actually kicked out! I thought Ash had him." Evan said

"So did everyone else. Caesar Montana is proving himself as a in ring competitor tonight against Ash, who is doing the same." David said

"This is a very weird version of David vs Goliath, but I like it." Evan said

Ash sits up, shocked that Caesar Montana was able to kick out. He looks down at the bigger man and mounts him before delivering a few slow, but hard hitting right hands. He then gets up again as 'A-C-W!' chants praise the match. Ash ignores it, instead deciding to climb up to the top turnbuckle again. But Caesar had gotten up by this point and he ends up tripping Ash. Caesar climbs up to the second turnbuckle and hooks Ash up for a Superplex, but Ash ends up shifting his weight, downward and lands behind Caeser on the second turnbuckle. Ash connects with a Burn it Down (Bridging German Suplex from the second turnbuckle.) and of course, it's right into a pin.

…..

Caesar rolls his shoulder up at 2.98!

Ash lays next to Caesar, tired from the damage he's taken in this match. Ash then slowly gets up to his feet as Caesar begins to get up as well. Ash signals for Rebellion (Claymore Kick). He stomps his right foot against the floor as Caesar is on his feet and turns around to see Ash run at him. Caesar catches Ash with a Roaring Elbow! Ash hits the floor and Caesar pins him as Freddy jumps up and down in excitment.

Caesar quickly drags Ash up and pushes him into the corner. Caesar delivers a few jabs, before backing up into the opposite corner. Caesar then runs at him going for his signature Lion Kick (Running Big Boot in the corner), but Ash dodges it and the momentum of the move sends Caesar over the ropes and onto the floor, on the outside. Ash looks at Caesar and then runs toward the corner before connecting with a huge Triangle Moonsault! The crowd explodes as Ash and Caesar lay on the floor. Ash gets up first with Caesar following behind. Ash dropkicks Caesar back first into the steel steps. Ash then picks Caesar up and throws him into the ring. Ash climbs up to the top turnbuckle.

"Ash has done! After 16:44 of great action, Anarchy's Ash Russo has won ten grand." David said

"Dammit Caesar!" Evan said as Roman snatches the briefcase full of money from Freddy and hits him over the head with it.

"Caesar Montana put on an excellent performance that no one expected. But the giant could not keep Ash down and now Anarchy Reigns supreme." David said as Anarchy enters the ring with the money. Ash opens the briefcase. He looks at his gang.

"You know what….fuck this money." Ash said, before starting to bulks of cash into the crowd

"What are you doing?! The poor is giving money to the even more poor! What the hell is wrong with this world?" Evan said

"Your existence, but that's another talk for another day. In the end, Freddy did not get an ounce of revenge on Anarchy and Anarchy stands tall to end the right. Thank you for joining us." David said.

(Asylum)

Oscar Nevermore sits in his padded cell in silence. Suddenly his dark cell is filled with a small light and he sees the Grimm mask in front of him. He looks up.

"Giselle…" Oscar said

"It's time for you to make up for your failures Oscar...or should I say Grimm." Giselle said

(Unknown Forest)

Richard Montoya slowly walks through the forest, avoiding branches and large leaves.

"Where is that bastards tribe?" Richard said, before noticing a small snake on his arm. He screams and throws it off. The snake slithers away toward two sets of feet. Then he sees two little boys that can't be older than five. "What are you children doing out here."

Suddenly one of the boys walks up to Richard…

"Do you speak english?" Questions Richard, before the boy jabs him with an arrowhead. Suddenly, Richard loses consciousness. When he awakes he sees a olive skinned man with one blue eye and one silver eye. Richard sits up.

"Richard, long time no see." The Shaggy black haired man with golden tips who is sitting on the floor, hindu style said. Richard looked around and noticed that he was in what looks to be a hut.

"Seth Sullivan...you really know how to make people feel welcomed." Richard said, before Seth gives him an arrowhead.

"You can keep that. It's the arrowhead that we injected with poison to knock you out with." Seth said

"You give these to children?" Richard questions

"No, the shopkeepers give them to children. I just allow it as the King Cobra of the Snake Tribe." Seth said. "Oh wait, how rude of me. I know how much you like drinking. Russell, pour our friend a shot."

Richard turned his head to see a 6'11 man wearing nothing but a bow tie, sunglasses and a singlet pour some thick liquid into two shot glasses and handing it to both of them.

"Thanks.." Richard said, before smelling the drink. "What is this?"

"Snake Venom." Seth said, before taking the shot. Richard then gave him his shot.

"You can have man. I'm trying to be sober now...for at least an hour." Richard said

"So why did you come to visit, my old friend?" Seth said

"I need you to do me a favor. I have this group named Anarchy...I need you to take care of them for me." Richard said

"Well, you did let me keep my tribe and you do fund us, so I guess I have to say yes. I bet Genocide is going to be happy." Seth said

"Who's Genocide?" Richard asked

"Oh, his real name is Frank, but that's kinda bland so we call him Genocide." Seth said

"So it's just a nickname?" Richard asked

"Pretty much. He got it after he massacred this one tribe by himself. It was a small tribe but it's still pretty crazy that he could do that. Luckily we made he start smoking weed or else we could've all been killed by him by now." Seth said with a slight chuckle

"Bring him." Richard said

"Of course. I wouldn't bring him up if I wasn't going to." Seth said, before laughing. Richard then laughed too. "Hey Russell laugh with us."

Russell joined the laughter as all three laughed the night away

"Anarchy…" Richard thought "You will not reveal the truth….I will not allow it."

A/N: And that ends that. We saw how Katarina got into Anarchy to open the show. After that, Jacob and Freddy had a heated exchange (Sans Caesar being a shitty bodyguard). But afterwards, Jacob got a call from the Queen of the South. Freddy's in trouble. In the first match that was surprisingly better than I anticipated, Anarchy's Jasper and Roman defeated Anthony Dre & Raptor Reigns. Afterward Jason Malice appeared and talked to Giselle. He showed his alligance to Azriel. Casey then talked to Kyle and Mason, before Brutus jumped Kyle in the bathroom. Katarina defeated Nyx in a good match to advance to the semi-finals. Ray Kiran met Jason and tried to become friends with him. It didn't work out and then Jason was about to get jumped by two nobodies. But it didn't work out. Then Micha Hyde showed up and Jason met Jason. Things didn't work out well for one of those Jason's. Meanwhile, CJ Hawk is a bad cook, Natalia doesn't know what a G-String is and Detrick has been invited to a summit at Despair HQ. In the main event, Ash Russo won money in the best thing Caeser has ever done (Although he still lost). Then Grimm returned. Followed by Seth Sullivan's ACW debut. Looks like Cobra Club is coming to help Richard Montoya and whatever his beef with Anarchy is. We are one show away from Glory road! Review please.
