ACW Season 1: Hope vs Despair Chapter 31: Final Destination Part 6, a wrestling fanfic

"The date is October 24, 2027. The venue is the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The attendance is 78,300 people. On a night we saw Roman McIntyre win the Wildcard Championship, Sara Lewis lead Adela Harroway into the Deathly Hallows, and Seth Sullivan save and then be turned on by his friend. On a night where Erin Frost through in the towel for Natalia. On a night where Freddy Escobar came close to winning a six man tag match only for his fiancee to turn on him. On a night where Jason Sabre forced Rey Pantera into reaching his Final Destination. And on a night where Ash Russo made the Revenant find an enemy that he couldn't bring to justice. This night has reached its conclusion as the sun that illuminated the stadium during the four way to the sun setting during the I Quit match to Rey Panteras Final fight under the stars. The stars are shining bright as our main event is next." David hypes

"Much like my face, the scenery above us is beautiful. But the match that will close the show might not be. It is the biggest match of the season. Detrick Cyrus challenges Azriel for the ACW World Championship. No Jason. Just The Ultimate Hope and the new leader of Hope against the King of Despair and most dominant wrestler in ACW. This is what the entire season has led to. Welcome to ACW Final Destinations main event!" Evan said.

Till I Die by MGK instrumental plays as we see Rey Pantera appear on the screen.

"Years go bye. As these years go bye we grow older. We watch our children turn from children into adults. Eventually we must all realize our humanity. Some grow bitter at this. But some accept it. A man must be able to sacrifice something for the future generation and I have sacrificed my life to watch this generation to grow. It is time for my labor to pay off. It is time for the torch to be passed. With the torch I lit up a path for you and now it's time for you to take it." Rey Pantera says, before the camera pans to the side to reveal Detrick Cyrus.

"Yes master." Detrick said, before we come back the arena where a White version of Rey Pantera's mask is seen on a pedestal. The arena is dark and only a spotlight shines on the pedestal. The instrumental is still playing. Suddenly a pair of hands take the mask.

I hear them loud and clear
Telling me to listen
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just wanna listen
As my, world turns
The heart beats
Not only in my chest
But the heart of the streets
So when they feel this, they feel me
But I can't feel nothin', outside these Dre Beats
I am from the city of people who came from the bottom
Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, what's up?
Exception shows me as the dead man walkin',
But reflections show this kid's still got it
Better be known I got the throne like I don't know that there's a king
Never grew up around a family 'cause I'm not a human being
And anyone under my bubble that's coming in my spot, the top
Let 'em have it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops
Lace up Kells
I hear voices in the air
I hear it loud and clear
Telling me to listen
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just wanna listen

Two large white pyro's shoot up the sky, before a white pyro display spins around the arena three times from around the top of the stadium as Invincible by MGK begins to play. We then return to the stage where Detrick Cyrus wears his tribute to Rey Pantera's mask instead of his own. The stadium is lit back up again as Detrick is seen wearing White/Gold shorts. On the white side 'Hope' is written in gold. On the Gold side, you can see the names 'Eddie. Vickie. Freddy. Matteo. Shaul. Sherilyn. Kaylie. Alexis. Matteo. Nattie. CJ. Erin. Pantera. Jason.' written in white in a list format. He is wearing corresponding elbow pads and wrestling boots. He drops to his knees and says a prayer, before standing up and pointing to the sky. The crowd is clearly behind him as he walks down the catwalk and to the ringside area. He slaps hands with fans and takes a couple photos with kids, taking a second to talk to a young boy, before sliding into the ring for the most important match of his life.

Death Dance by Adrian Von Ziggler plays as the lights in the arena turn a dark and eerie shade of purple. The large screen turns off as Micah Hyde walks out again with a smile on his face and the ACW World Championship in his hands. In the ring, you can see Detrick is less than happy at the sight of him. Micah walks down to the end of the catwalk as multiple druids walk out, with large torches in their hands. Six stand on one side. Six stand on the other. Than two more druids come out with a casket. The song begins to pick up as the casket opens to reveal a wooden version the crest of Hope in his. Suddenly the music stops and Hail to the King by Avenged Sevenfold starts

Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
Royal flames will carve the path in chaos
Bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding in the town with armor
Because thail take all your rights
Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king (hail, hail, hail, the king)

A lighting bolt strikes the casket, lighting it and the Hope symbol on fire as Detrick watches from the ring. Suddenly, Azriel is seen walking onto stage. He pushes over the burning casket containing the symbol and looks straight at Detrick. The druids cross their torches, so it's only a few inches above Azriel's head. Azriel walks underneath the fire torches slowly. He is wearing a long black cloak with the shoulder's having black spikes on them. The collar is popped up. Behind him, you can see Giselle walking in a short black dress that stops right above her hamstrings. She was wearing thick, six inch heels, a diamond necklace that was in the shape of Despair's crest and a tiara over her beautiful Dark Brown hair. As she walks behind Azriel, every druid lifts their torches up to make sure she doesn't walk under them. Azriel meets Micah Hyde in at the catwalk. Giselle stands right behind her. Micah then starts to step down, leading Azriel down to ringside. Micah then offers a hand to Giselle, so she can walk down the steps. She rejects the offers and walks down the ramp herself. Azriel steps on the ring apron and enters the ring. He removes his jacket to reveal his traditional gear of long leather tights, boots and sleeveless shirt. Micah hands the Championship to the ref, who raises it as Detrick and Azriel stand in their own corners. The music fades away as excitement builds.

Finally, the bell rings. "Detrick Cyrus" chants can be heard. Azriel puts both his fists up. Detrick does the same. The 6'1 Lucha Warrior and 7 foot tall King of Despair approach each other in the middle of the ring. There seems to be a big distance in the middle of the ring between the two as both look for at opening. Azriel uses his reach advantage as he delivers a jab with his right hand to the face of Detrick. Detrick instinctively tries to swipe him with a right hand but misses due to the distance, before Azriel closes the gap with two blows to the chest and a right hand to the face, sending Detrick down to the match. Detrick goes down and Azriel backs off of him, knowing he was victorious in the exchange. The crowd boos as Azriel stays in his fighters stance, watching as Detrick gets up. Detrick puts his fists up but Azriel catches him with a right hook to the jaw. Detrick is wobbly on his legs as Azriel closes the distance again and hits a hard right hand to the side of Detrick's head. Detrick crumples to the ring mat.

"If this was a boxing match, Detrick would've lost." Evan said.

"Throwing hands with Azriel, although admirable, is a moronic idea. I assume Detrick wanted to show no fear toward Azriel, but in the end he's crumpled on the ring mat while Azriel is standing over him. Detrick needs to change strategy." David said

Detrick gets back to his feet but is caught by a uppercut. Detrick reels back into the ropes as Azriel follows. Azriel delivers three blows to the midsection, before attempting to Irish Whip him. Detrick tries to reverse, but Azriel doesn't budge. Instead, Azriel pulls Detrick in and rams his shoulder into Detricks. Detrick goes down, but Azriel still has a hold of his arm. Azriel lifts him up from the ring mat and into the air, holding him there by his one arm. Detrick kicks the air and tries to wiggle out but it's no use as Azriel turns around and dumps him onto the ring apron. Luckily for Detrick, he lands on his feet. Detrick uses the ropes to elevate himself up to do a overhead kick to Azriel, hitting his first move of the match. Detrick then slingshots into the ring with a Slingshot DDT! Azriel isn't very affected by the move and tries to get up, but Detrick hits a low dropkick to the face on his as he uses his elbows to lift himself off the mat. Detrick turns around, trying to be as quick as possible and attempt a Springboard Moonsault but Azriel rolls out of the ring. Detrick is able to land on his feet and he quickly dives over the top rope with a Somersault Plancha! The crowd cheers loud but it turns to boos as Azriel is still standing from the move and is only knocked into the guard rail. Detrick is on the floor after connecting with the move but gets to his feet quickly and runs at Azriel. But Azriel back body drops him over the guard rail and into the ACW fanbase. Detrick lands on the laps of two fans knocking them over from their seats and in the process kicking another fan in the face in the second row with his foot.

The ref has reached a two count at this point, going slow on purpose because he doesn't want to ruin this historic main event. Azriel reaches over and drags Detrick up by his mask. Cyrus surprises with a headbutt to the mouth. Azriel moves backward a few steps as Detrick ascends to the top of the barricade. Detrick dives off with a Crossbody but Azriel catches him horizontally, before lifting him up in Military press position. Azriel throws Detrick back into the audience knocking down six men and women. Azriel then steps over the barricade and into the crowd. We see a kid who was trying to cheer on Detrick who is laid out amongst the people, back away as the King of Despair approached. Azriel drags Detrick up and lifts him into the sky in Military Press position. Azriel throws Detrick right feet from his spot to the ringside floor. The refs count has reached six. Detrick rolls over to the barricade and uses his hands to pull himself up but gets knocked back down by a big boot from Azriel!

"Azriel is endangering the fans in his goal of making Detrick look like a weakling." David said

"He spends his free time sitting alone on a throne. He cares about these poor people as much as I do." Evan said

Azriel steps over the barricade, back into the ringside area. Azriel slowly walks behind Detrick as he crawls toward the ring. Once they are near the ring apron, Azriel lifts him up. Azriel is then given a surprise elbow to the chin. Detrick quickly fires at Azriel with a Superkick, but the King of Despair is still on his feet. Detrick rolls into the ring and runs off the ropes with all his might and connects with a Sommersault Senton over the top rope and onto Azriel. This time it knocks him down and the crowd goes wild. Detrick stands up on his feet and connects with a Standing Moonsault on the floor. Detrick quickly rolls into the ring. He waits for Azriel to start getting to his feet again, going for a Tope Suicida, but Azriel swats him out of the air with an uppercut. Detrick falls flat on his face as Azriel takes control again. Azriel lifts him up and rams him into the ring apron, before laying him supine on it. Azriel gets on the ring apron and walks over to the ring post. He gets up to the second turnbuckle and jumps off attempting a Guillotine Leg Drop. He connects, dropping all 286 pounds across Detrick's chest! Detrick rolls away in pain, but Azriel follows him inside and pins Detrick.

Kick out at 2.12!

Azriel stalks Detrick as the Lucha Warrior stumbles up to his feet. Azriel throws another right hand to the chest, causing Cyrus to drop down to his knees. Azriel grabs Detrick and pulls him up, so his head and neck is between his legs. Azriel lifts him up for a Powerbomb, but Detrick starts to wail away with lefts and rights. Azriel's legs are seemingly starting to wobble as Cyrus goes to town on him with lefts and rights while sitting on Azriel's shoulders. Azriel drops down to one knee, allowing Detrick to lean by and do a headscissor that sends Azriel's head crashing into the ring mat. Detrick keeps the man in the headscissors trying to choke him out. Detrick's legs are wrapped around his neck and he keeps them around Azriel, like a snake on his prey. Azriel tries to reach the ropes, but seems to be a few inches short with his arm. However, he is able, to shift his lower body and use his long legs to touch the bottom rope. The ref begins his five count. Detrick lets go and rolls up to his feet. Azriel gets up as well but Detrick stays on him with a few chops. However Azriel easily takes control by wrapping his hand around Detrick's throat and forcing him closer to the middle of the ring. But before he can do anything, Detrick lifts his leg up and kicks Azriel's hand away and spins around. As he rotates, Detrick catches him Azriel with a Spinning Heel Kick. Detrick then continues to rotate and uses his other leg to hit a Strong Roundhouse kick to the back of Azriel's head, sending him to a knee. Detrick quickly runs off the ropes and connects with a Leaping Reverse STO! Detrick goes for the pin.

….

…..

Kick out at 1.75!

"It took 15 minutes, but Detrick Cyrus is finally getting some consistent offense on Azriel." David said.

"Will it be sustainable though? Azriel has a distinct advantage over him when it comes to strength and durability. He's going to have to rack up a lot of high impact moves before he can come close to beating Azriel." Evan said

Detrick tries to stay on him by mounting him and throwing a series of right hands. Detrick then gets to his feet and runs towards the ropes, jumping up to the middle rope. He then jumps up to the top rope, before springing up with a Springboard Corkscrew Splash on Azriel, before attemping another pinfall.

…..

….

Kick out at 1.97!

Detrick gets up and kicks Azriel in the face, to keep the large man down. Detrick then steps out onto the ring apron. Detrick goes for a Springboard Frog Splash, but Azriel lifts his hand up from the ring mat and catches Detrick perfectly by the throat. Azriel then sits up as the Ultimate Hope realizes he's caught. Azriel drags himself and Detrick up before attempting a Chokeslam. But Detrick counters into a DDT! Azriel's head is drilled against the ring mat as Detrick rolls him onto his back. He looks up at the top turnbuckle and hears the roar of the crowd. Detrick seizes the opportunity to climb up to the top turnbuckle. Detrick points at the sky, before jumping off with a Frog Splash! But Azriel rolls slightly causing Detrick to hit the ring mat. Azriel then readjusts his body, before putting Detrick in position for his submission, Blackest Death ( Undertaker's Hell's Gate)

"Blackest Death is locked in! Azriel lured Detrick into it!" David said

"There's a good chance that Detrick might tap or pass out. Hope is going to fade." Evan said

Detrick is on both knees as Azriel has the hold locked in. Azriel pulls Detrick's head and throat into his shin, cutting off his air flow. Detrick raises hand, looking for support from a crowd that was more than willing to chant Detrick. Cyrus is able to get to one knee, before rolling forward into a pinfall.

…

Azriel pushes him off. Detrick smartly rolls away, coughing and trying to catch his breath. Azriel gets to his feet and walks toward Detrick who is leaning against the corner. Detrick ducks underneath a punch from Azriel and runs underneath his arm. Detrick attempts a 915 (Trouble in Paradise), but Azriel sidesteps it. Detrick lands in a kneeling position, but Azriel quickly pulls him up into a Powerbomb position, before dropping him with a rotating four times and dropping him with a sit out Spinning Powerbomb! The referee sees the pinning opportunity.

"This could be it for the Ultimate Hope after 20 minutes. He put up a great fight." David said

"Too bad he can't have the ACW World Championship in his new office at Hope Headquarters." Evan snarkily comments

Kick out at 2.5!

Azriel forces Detrick up to his feet, before delivering a Vertical Suplex on him. Azriel sits up as the crowd boos. Azriel reaches over to Detrick and picks him up again, before hitting a second Vertical Suplex, this time with even more power. Detrick feels the pain in his back, before Azriel lifts him up again and connects with a Release Vertical suplex that sends him crashing down. The crowd chant 'You Suck' at Azriel, who replies with his signature cut throat while his eyes are rolled back taunt, signalling that the end is near. Azriel watches as Detrick slowly gets to both his knees, with one hand on his mid back. Azriel then plucks him up and puts him in position for Death's Embrace (Bray Wyatt's Sister Abigail). But Detrick slips out of it and walks towards the ropes. Azriel runs at him, but Detrick uses the ropes as a boost and gets both his feet up. Azriel runs into them and backs up. Detrick connects with a desperation 915! But he doesn't go for the pin. The crowd chants "Detrick!" as he takes a few seconds to rest up, before getting up and walking over to the corner. He exits the ring and goes on the ring apron, before ascending to the top. Detrick dives off with a Falling Star (High Angle Senton Bomb)! But after connecting, he rolls away holding his back in pain.

"Those Suplexes did a number on Detrick's back." Evan said

"This is your chance Detrick! Fight through the sting that you're feeling in your back and pin Azriel! For your mentor! For the Championship!" David cheers on

Detrick gets to his feet holding his back, as the crowd is still behind him. Detrick exits to the ring apron again and climbs up to the top turnbuckle again. Detrick then soars through the air and connects with a Emphatic Frog Splash. Detrick rolls off after impact, but eventually gets on top of Azriel with a pinfall!

"Frog Splash! Frog Splash! Frog Splash! Detrick hit him with it! Does Hope still exist for him?!" Evan questions

…..

…

Kick out at 2.9!

"It wasn't enough! A Falling Star followed by a Frog Splash and it wasn't enough to beat Azriel! What the bloody hell is it going to take to slay the monster?!" Questions David

Detrick lays beside Azriel in absolute shock. He looks up at the night sky above as the crowd "A-C-W!" Detrick gets to his feet and tries to ascend to the top turnbuckle one more time. Detrick goes for another Falling Star, but Azriel rolls out of the way! Detrick lands on his back as Azriel gets some distance before getting back up to his feet. Azriel sees Detrick lying prone on the floor and decides to go over to put him in a waistlock. Azriel squeezes on Detrick's midsection for a few seconds. He then drags Detrick Cyrus up and sends him flying back down with a Overhead German Suplex. The crowd boos as Azriel reaches down and lifts him up by his mask. Azriel wraps his hand around his throat and lifts him up for a Chokeslam, but Detrick escapes and lands behind him. The crowd pop in hopefulness as Azriel turns around into a 915! Azriel is stunned, but not down. That's when Detrick drops down to one knee, and lay Azriel's upper half across his shoulders. Then with a loud scream, fighting the pain in his back, Detrick stands up with Azriel on his shoulders. Loud 'D-K-O' chants are heard, but Azriel ruins it by Elbowing him and sliding off his shoulder, making sure that he lands in position for Death's Embrace. Death's Embrace connects on Detrick!

"So close! That show of power was impressive but Death's Embrace has been felt." Evan said

….

…..

The ref notices Detrick's hand is on the bottom rope and stops the count!

"That lucky bastard stays alive in the match!" David said

"You gotta be kidding me?!" Evan said.

Azriel is fuming as Micah tells him to calm down from the outside. He says some other stuff as Giselle just watches from a distance. Azriel drags Detrick to his feet and pulls him away from the ropes and to the middle of the ring. Azriel goes for Death's Embrace! But Detrick's swings out of it and lands behind Azriel. Azriel quickly turns around into a desperation Superkick! Azriel is phased as Detrick is clearly tired, but he still hits a second Superkick. Azriel is still up. Detrick hits a 915! But Azriel is still up. Detrick then lifts Azriel onto his shoulders as the crowd is on their feet. DKO (Fireman's Carry into a Overhead kick) connects to a monstrous pop! They can't believe it, as Detrick excitedly goes for the pin!

…..

"DKO! DKO! DKO! He actually hit it!" Evan said in disbelief

….

…

"The power that must take is unimaginable. Was it enough? Is this Detrick's night?!" David questions

…..

…

…..

Shoulder up at 2.99!

"It's not! Somehow it's not! Los Angeles is shocked! Detrick Cyrus almost made a believer out of every doubter after half an hour!" Evan said

"Detrick has to be depressed after that. The DKO connecting on a monster like Azriel had to have felt like a satisfying conclusion. But it was not the climax of this story like you, I and this amazing crowd thought it would be. The happy ending hasn't happened….at least not yet." David comments

Detrick pounds the ring mat out of frustration over hitting his finisher and not ending it. Detrick then hears 'Falling Star' chants and takes that as his cue to ascend to the top turnbuckle once again. He flies off going for the Falling Star and he connects! But he rolls off Azriel, before he can pin him as the velocity of the move caused him to bounce off the large man. Detrick lays next to Azriel, exhausted. But he scratches and claws until he drapes an arm over Azriel's chest.

….

…..

…

….

…

Azriel grabs Detrick by the throat to break up the pin. He sits up forcing Detrick to sit up on his knees. Detrick is tried, but still throws a right hand at Azriel, who absorbs it and gets to his feet with Detrick still in his grasp. Azriel goes for a Chokeslam. It connects! Azriel pins Detrick!

…

….

…..

…

…..

…

…..

Kick out at 2.94!

The crowd can't believe it and neither can Azriel. Azriel stands on his feet, looking down at Detrick Cyrus, who has fought so hard to stay in this match. Detrick gets on all fours, right in front of Azriel's feet. He looks up at Azriel, who does his Cutthroat taunt. Detrick throw very light hands, before Azriel kicks the masked luchadore in the face. The King of Despair then forces Detrick Cyrus onto his feet. Death's Embrace connects on Detrick Cyrus! Azriel pins Detrick

"Death's Embrace has connected and there will be no rope breaks to save the Ultimate Hope!" Evan said

…..

…

"After 33:15 of hard fought action, Detrick Cyrus has failed to capture the ACW World Championship from Azriel who completes his second Championship defense." David said as Purple Pyro shoots up to the sky and the name 'Azriel' is spelled out in the sky

"Hope has fallen. They lost every match tonight." Evan points out as Micah Hyde enters the ring with Giselle watching from the outside. Micah hands the Championship over to Azriel, who looks down at Detrick.

"ACW Final Destination was an epic conclusion to an Epic season. In the end of Hope vs Despair, Despair wins." David said, before Azriel raises the ACW World Championship as the lights turn Dark Purple and Black confetti starts to rain down into the arena.

(Fade to Black)

(Epilogue)

(Dude Love's Groovy Juice lounge)

Ray Kiran, Asher Darma and Yul Bannok sit around a table at the juice house. We could see children running around them, playing arcade and jumping in ball pits.

"Hey mon, why did you bring us here? We're getting dirty looks from the parents." Yul said

"That's because we're adults and don't have any children with us." Kiran said

"You're an adult." Yul raises a brow

"Yul, my friend, why are you being the negative about this groovy lounge of juice owned by a dude who loves. Have you not tried this beverage that I am holding. It is so clear and delicious." Asher said taking a big sip out of his cup

"That's water brotha." Yul said

"What?! Like from the toilet?! I never knew that's what was in there. Oh, no wonder only the rich people can get such a luxury in my village." Asher said

"Hey Asher, how are we going to make me a winner by the end of next season?" Kiran said

"Well, Kiran the Ray. I devised a full proof plan on this paper napkin." Asher said as he held up a napkin with badly drawn stick figures. "You see, we will find a magic lamp and rub it. Then we can have three wishes."

"Wow, that's great. I'm so lucky to have a smart friend like you." Ray Kiran said

"Good idea, but there's no such thing as genie's my friend." Yul said

"Have you not seen the movie Aladdin?" Asher said

"Movie's aren't real." Yul said

"Really? What about wrestling?" Asher asked.

"That's real." Yul said

"Oh...that is very very good. However my idea to get our sphere shaped friend into Papa Hawk's agency has failed." Asher said.

"Come on guys, we have to think of something." Kiran said, before noticing a woman step in front of them. Asher and Yul's jaw dropped at what stood in front of them. It was almost like a godess was in front of them as the 5'6 woman stood.

"Ray, it's time to go home." She spoke. Her skins was perfectly porcelain. Shoulder length brown hair with the most perfect curls that sat gently on her shoulders. Eye catching brown eyes with an eye catching body headlined by a pair of Double D that were highlighted by the dark red Criss cross keyhole mini dress.

"But I'm hanging out with my friends Keyra." Ray Kiran said

"Whoa mama!" Comments Asher. "Who is the hottie hot hottie Kiran the Ray."

"What do you mean? My sister can't be hot. Look at how small that dress is. She has to at least be at room temperature." Ray Kiran said

"I don't have time for this. Mom and dad didn't let you stay at our beach house the entire summer and fall, so you could fool around with your cute little friends. You have to go home and do your homework." Keyra said

"She called me cute Yul!" Asher said "This is at least a top five moment in my life. Right next to when I received my pet cow, Mr. Moo Moo."

"Fine. I'm sorry my sister came here guys. She's so uncool." Ray Kiran said, before storming off pouting.

"It was nice to meet you two." Keyra said, giving both of them a wink, before leaving.

"Those two are related? Did I eat a brownie or something?" Yul said

"Yes you did. But you are not hallucinating. That beautiful goddess of a woman is Kiran the Ray's sister. I shall marry her one day." Asher delcares

"Did you eat a brownie too?" Yul asked

"No. I ordered a cheesecake, but they haven't brought it out yet. They have great water, but awful service. I shall only rate it four and a half Ash Meltzer stars on the " Asher said

(Despair HQ; Throne Room)

"The casket has been burned." Sara Lewis reports to Azriel who sits on his throne with Giselle.

"Good. Now I want you to do something else." Azriel said

"What is it, my lord?" She asked

"Kill Seth Sullivan and take the Golden Cobra." Azriel demands.

"It will be done." Sara Lewis said.

(Freddy's Mansion)

Freddy Escobar walks in pissed off as Caesar follows.

"God dammit! I don't get it!" Freddy yells, before stopping at the sight of thirty men pointing guns at him.

"Boss. How did they get in?" Caesar asked

"Because my security team was with me at Final Destination." Freddy comments as all of them point their guns at Freddy. Escobar raises both of his hands. "Listen guys, I don't know who you are, but I have a feeling that you're all connected to the person who's been behind my life being ruined. I can tell by the look and body language of you guys that you're from Mexico. You guys probably work for pesos. I can give you guys a life in America. Just don't shoot and join me."

"You couldn't pay them a dime." Came a familiar voice. Freddy looks up at the staircase to see Alexis Espinoza walking down with Sofia Reynoso behind right next to her.

"Alexis." Freddy comments with wide eyes.

"Do you know her boss?" Caesar said as she gets closer.

"He used to work for my dad." Alexis said, standing in front of Freddy who has his hands up.

"Until he stole a bunch of money and made himself wanted by the Queen of the South." Sofia adds.

"Queen of the South? It's you, isn't it? You were the one masterminding everything. Why are you doing this?" Freddy said.

"My dad died with one blemish on his record. That was you. You, a nobody who plucked out from Los Angeles California, outmaneuvered the most feared man in Mexico. He owned the entire cartel and you took from him and ran. But you didn't go far enough and you never will. I hunted you down and ruined your life, but this is just the beginning. When you turned your back on my father, you pissed off the princess. Now the Princess is the Queen and I want revenge. I could honestly kill you and this pendejo right now if I wanted to, but I want you to suffer. I want you to lose everything." Alexis said

"How did you get Talia to join you?" Freddy asked

"I told her the truth. You were really keen on marrying her, weren't you? Why is that? You're supposed to have millions of dollars and you have your own business, right? I guess you didn't tell her the truth. Your company is in the red. You're going bankrupt and that your underground business in Texas has been going downhill. It's been going downhill so much that you can't even afford this mansion anymore. It's been going downhill that most of your cartel is gone, including those two bitch boys, that came to me with information on you. They even gave me keys to this place. I think their names were DJ and Dylan. What happened to them?" Alexis asked.

"You cut one of their dicks off and fed it to the other." Sofia said. "We could do the same to you two right now if we wanted to."

"No one asked for your input." Freddy said.

"I'm on the side with the guns. I wouldn't be talking back right now if I was you." Sofia said

"Listen Alexis-" Freddy said

"Shut up! You listen. I'm not listening to a piece of shit like you. See, in the life that I chose, I know I'm not a completely good person. I'm probably not even close to a half decent one. But you. You're worse than the cumstains in a gas station's bathroom. I don't even know how to describe you. You think you're above loyalty. You tried to marry Talia to save your own ass from going bankrupt. You stole without even thinking twice. You used everyone and threw them away. You're irredeemable. I guess I'm your karma for every bad thing you've done." Alexis said

"I'd rather live like an asshole who's rich, than die like a nice guy who's poor." Freddy said.

"You're going to die like an asshole who's poor. I promise that." Alexis said, he turns to her men. "Let's go."

Alexis walks out, followed by the men, leaving only Caesar, Sofia and Freddy.

"Why are you still here?" Freddy asked with disdain in his voice. Sofia still had a smile on her face, before reaching in her back pocket and pulling out a gun. Freddy quickly reached into his pants for his.

"Don't worry, you're not the Freddy I want to shoot." Sofia said, before pointing her gun at a nearby bust of Freddy and shooting it in the head shattering it. "But you will be the next Freddy that I shoot."

Sofia then makes her exits as Freddy looks at the shattered pieces of his bust.

(Despair HQ; Throne Room)

Jason Sabre stands in front of the throne.

"Soon, it'll be yours." Giselle said, as grabs Jason's hand.

"Why does Maria work for us now?" Jason asked.

"Your ex wife is on our side and you get to see your daughter. I don't think it is a bad move for us to bring her in. Besides, she already knows about us and our child. She's been supportive and useful to me." Giselle said

"You don't see the possible conflict between my ex wife and you working together?" Jason asked

"I do, but if she turns on me, she knows what will happen." Giselle threatens.

"That's the mother of my child." Jason replies

"As am I." Giselle points out. The two stay quiet and just look at each other.

"That's going to be known as Azriel's child in the public's eye." Jason said.

"You're going to dethrone him before this baby arrives. Then we will reveal the truth to the world." Giselle said. "Destiny will happen"

Giselle then plants a kiss on Sabre. The Ace nods, but little did they know, Micah Hyde was watching from outside the door.

"That woman will be the death of my plans." Micah said

The Next Day

Maria Martinez picks up a newspaper. She sees the front page and drops it immediately. Tears begin to flow down her face as she sits down on a chair in her dining room. A 5'8 woman with matching brown eyes walks over frantically. She had really tan skin and a slender body. Her hair was raven black, but neon pink streaks were seen dyed all over it.

"What the hell are you crying about." The girl said

"That old bastard, Izzy…" Maria comments

"We are very sad to announce the death of Rey Pantera." Freddy Alvarez said

"Man...um...the guy was a legend. Last night him and Jason had a classic match. Definitely five stars, but, his heart just gave out. He lost too much blood." Ash Meltzer said.

"This is tragic, but in happier news. The Supreme Court has ruled that Richard Montoya is not responsible for the Children of Despair. They have no evidence against him and he will not be impeached. Looks like Ash Russo's leaks were fake news." Freddy said, before the tv is turned off and we find ourselves at Anarchy's hideout.

"Dammit." Ash said.

"Don't worry Ash. You can change the world. You already have. There is no more Revenant and you are easily gaining followers." Aldo said

"I don't give a damn." Ash said

"Frustration and anger isn't going to get you anywhere. Next season is going to start in Mexico. That's my country. We have the advantage." Aldo said as he looks over to Roman who has the Wildcard Championship draped across his shoulder.

(Cobra Tribe)

Seth Sullivan is smoking a cigarette as he twirls the Golden Cobra in his hands. He sits on top of a hill, just enjoying the view and thinking. He has a great view of his tribe below the kill. He doesn't know that Sara Lewis is hiding behind a tree. Seth Sullivan takes another drag, before burying the butt of the Cigarette into the ground.

"You're not going to kill me." He said as he stands up and turning his head toward the tree that Sara is hiding behind. "You've been there for fifteen minutes and you haven't noticed that you're already dead."

Sara was confused by the comment and then she felt a little snake slither out from her shirt. Seth begins to walk down the hill as Sara Lewis falls over. Her face begins to turn pale and can't move. Seth Sullivan doesn't even look at her.

"Say hi to the first Sully for me. You know, before you get sent to hell, fucking witch." Sullivan comments as the snake follows him. "Good job Junior. You're proving yourself as a worthy successor."

Seth then puts another cigarette in his mouth and lights it up.

In what looks to be some type of large ruin. A 5'7 woman with a short buzz cut brown hair, small mole on nose, broken heart in a skulls mouth tattoo on right arm, blackwidow spider on left forearm and green eyes walks in front of Genocide. She is leading him across a dusty hallway until she stops in front of what looks to be a jail cell.

"Ruin, it's me Zea. I brought you lunch." Zea said, before pointing at Genocide. Genocide willingly walks up to the cell and opens the door.

"Forgive me for everything I have done lord." Genocide speaks, before entering the cell. All we hear is screams as Zea smiles at the sight.

(Los Angeles, Downtown)

Thousands of people are filled the streets at night as we see a large photo of Rey Pantera with smaller photos lined up around it. We can see Hope at the front of this crowd. Each wearing black. And none of them looking to good or happy after the prior night. We can also see other ACW wrestlers have shown up and are around. Detrick walks up to the memoriam with Rey Pantera's mask in hand. He sets it down, in front of the large photo. Suddenly he feels someone behind him. He turns around to see Jason Sabre. Detrick didn't know how to react

"Why Jason?" Detrick asked. "Why did you have to join them?"

"I didn't want to. I had no choice. This is the path I have to walk down for a better life." Jason said

"I could've gave you one if you joined Hope." Detrick said

"You wouldn't. You're a selfish prick. The only reason you're in the spot you're in today is because I let you. You were handed a place. While I was suffering in this city, you were living life under the facade of some hero. You were handed everything, because you come from a family with a little bit of legacy and money in their name. I was smarter than you and I was more talented than you. Yet I had to work ten times as much as you, because I'm just an orphan while you're some 'Ultimate Hope'. If I hadn't switched those test papers, I wouldn't be Ultimate Hope. Do you know why? Because this old man was an asshole and I wouldn't have fit the image he wanted for that role. Maybe I didn't know enough Spanish. I hope he's looking up from hell when he sees that you tore apart what he spent a decade building up." Jason said, before Detrick gets right in Sabre's face. The two go nose to nose to nose

"You have a lot of nerve showing up here and saying that shit." Detrick said

"I didn't come here to talk shit." Jason said, before pulling out the mask he burned last night and throwing it down. "I came here to tell you this. The next mask that I'm taking is yours."

And with those words, the battle of Hope vs Despair has turned into the story of a Broken Bond.
