...
*Della makes it back to her seat just in time. Gavin is ready to announce the next matchup* Alright! Is one half of the Young Bucks Matt Jackson, in a very tough task up against CHIKARA Founder Miiiiiiiike Quackenbush!
*The screen flickers, and theres Quack* Hmm...so Im up next...well thats good, I'd hate to be waiting until later that would simply be agonizing. But whats going to be agonizing now are the holds I inflict on Matt Jackson. Now I dont hate Matt Jackson in fact he seems like a nice fellow with big sparkling eyes that for some reason make the girls put him in sacks and drag him away...but I digress. Matt you are an incredibly talented competitor, but you are still young, you're quick...but one mistake is all I need and you'll be in one of my many moves. Nothing personal, its how the cards have fallen...good luck out there tonight, because I'll be darned if I let you stop me from advancing in this tournament, so good luck out there, and give it your best shot, I expect nothing less.
*screen flickers again and theres Matt Jackson* ...*he blinks* Umm...*looks around a little...looks to the camera blinks, not much for talking so...he grins widely...you'd swear you see the edge of the grin sparkle slightly with that *ding!* sound and waves, Mikko stares... blushes a little, looks down. Dells sees that and frowns* Don't even go there.
*Mmmbop by Hansen starts up, and out comes Matt Jackson grinning and waving. Jackson goes around high fiving everyone...trying not to be carried away by fangirls, the only one he lets hug him is Della, then uses the ropes flips in the ring, lands on his feet and grins waving. Mikko:..sneaks a peek. Blushes again. Della keeps noticing this and sighs...*
*'Break it Down Again' by Tears for Fears' starts up. Out strolls Quack. Della stomps and cheers at the top of her voice. Quack claps hands a few times and cracks his neck, then goes around slapping everyones hands, squeezes Dellas as he goes to the ring*
*Leonard sighs* ...Wel ladies and gentleman surely this will be a great match of the veteran skill and technical prowess of Mike Quackenbush, vs the speed and quickness of one half of the Young Bucks, Matt Jackson. Joining me at this time...Hallowicked...
Hallowicked- A gash a made ogoda! Hagnada nog ah jata gooba koga baada!
Leonard- Wonderful...
*Quack and Matt Jackson circles the ring quickly, Matt cartwheeling and such, Quack moves in a few times, but Matt sprints away grinning*
Leonard- Good strategy here Matt obviously knows what might happen here if Quack gets ahold of him, he is going to have to use all of that speed and quickness to get the upper hand her and wear Quack down
Hallowicked- Ah gash ma sogolllee sogola!
*Quack locks up with Matt who tries to get away, but Quack turns getting Matt in a wrist lock, Matt rolls through and kicks up, but Quack turns again and reapplies it to Matts arm forcing him back down to a knee. Quack goes to turn the wristlock into an arm lock but Matt rolls the other way using momentum to get up, slaps Quacks hand to break the hold, Matt goes for a kick, but Quack grabs his leg, Matt sees his mistake, he uses the momentum to flip up and break Quacks grip, he lands on his feet, but Quack is already running at him and delivers the Shotei Palm Strike, Matt flops, and rolls out of the ring before Quack can get ahold of him to capitalize*
Leonard- Matt's going to learn fast that quickness will not be enough alone to throw Quack off, a beautiful Shotie Palm Strike I believe just told him that one
Hallowicked- Haga jah notta gah sodha!
*Matt walks around on the outside a bit shaking his hand and the cobwebs from that shotei...he doesnt see Quack running right for him, he turns just in time to see Quack spring for a Sommersault Plancha, a no rope frontflip to the outside. Matt goes down hard, Quack lands on his feet and nods to the crowd, who claps in approval*
Leonard- As you can also see from that Sommersault Plancha, Quack is no stranger to quickness himself, and Matt is in trouble now...
*Quack gets Matt up and delivers a chop or twwo before rolling him back into the ring, Quack gets to the ropes, Jackson spring up and super kicks Quacks middle, Quack falters a bit but he doesnt let go of the ropes, Jackson runs at him, Quack sticks out his shoulder stopping Jacksons momentum, gets his feet on the bottom rope, secures Matts head, goes for tail of the dragon, but Matt shoves him off! Matt goes for a Hurricanranna, but, Quack stops it and throws Matt off, he runs at Quack again, but Quack picks him up, and maneauvers Matt around a little, hooking him around his back, and hooking Matts arm and Legs for Lightening Lock Classic! Matt flails in pain*
Leonard- And there is a big mistake by Matt, he ran right into Quack, and quicker than a hiccup, Quack sinched in one of his many Lightening Locks! This one is the Lightening Lock Classic! Will Matt be able to get out of it!
Hallowicked- A haga na gooha faga jadda gura! *waves arms*
*Quack doesnt fully sinch it in and Matt uses his strength in his legs to kick out of it and rolls away, Matt runs at him but Quack counters grabbing his arm, and spinning him into a reverse DDT position and lifts him up for a spiked reverse brainbuster cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Quack immediatle tries to sinch in the CHIKARA special, but Matt kiks desperately, getting Quack in the head and rolls away. Quack though, not that much faltered, runs at Matt, who spins and delivers a leaping back elbow to Quack. Quack rolls out of the ring a second, but thats all Matt needs, Quack turns, and Matt has lept to the top rope, and springs for a Moonsault Suicida, a tope rope moonsault, hits Quack perfectly. They both sprawl to the floor*
Leonard- Matt finally realizing the severity of the situation of if Quack can catch him, now with that beautiful Moonsault Suicida, but can he keep it up?
Hallwicked- Ahsa baga booda gaba goodade!
*Matt gets up wobbily, leaning against the guardrail...right by Mikko again, Mikko stares a bit. Matt turns for a second, smiles and waves, but doesnt take too long, is back on the attack of Quack. Mikko stares...smiles dreamily, Della frowns*
Leonard- And as you can see, the Young Bucks get into the hearts of many girls
*Hallowicked makes a gagging motion*
*Matt rolls Quack back in the ring, springs off the rope for a Springboard Splash, Quack rolls out of the way and Matt hits nothing but ring mat. Matt gets up, Quack goes to the outside of the ropes, Matt goes for him, but Quack delivers a palmstrike dazing him, hooks his head again outside of the aprin, and this time springs in and plants him soundly with Tail of the Dragon! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Quack sighs, he was sure that would do it...*
Leonard- Oh and a beautiful Tail of the Dragon by Quack and he's got Matt on the ropes!
*Hallowicked makes a 'Blah Blah Blah' motion*
*Quack gets Matt up, gets him in a suplex position, hooks under his one leg, and goes for Quackendriver III, but Matt counters, and gets behind Quack, delivers a jumping Eneguri kick to the back of his head, Quack wobbles and Matt turns him around and grabs his neck, flipping over him, and slamming his head down for a Shironu/Sliced Bread! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Matt pouts, Mikko just grins that he's wining now. Della facepalms* Why...
Leonard- Very nice Shironu, Sliced Bread to some, but Quack does not go down so easily, Hallowicked being a Gen 1 graduate you know this alot more than most!
*Hallowicked sighs...but nods* Ah gasha da udda a nade...
*Matt picks Quack up, and Quack delivers a desperation palm strike sending Matt away. He stumbles into the corner, Quack runs at him, but Matt moves quickly. Quack hits the turnbuckles stumbling back turning, back to the turnbuckle holding his face in pain. Matt takes the chance, leaps over quack, goes to the top rope, and does the Sommersault Phoenix Ace Crusher! Quack spikes the mat hard. Vintage Matt Jackson! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Matt has a small tantrum on mat, he cant believe it...*
Leonard- Matt is taking control of this match but kid dont let our frustrations cloud whats more importiant here, keep the momentum going!
*Hallowicked grunts* Ahh gah boda gade smodora...
*Matt picks Quack up, and brings him to the center of the ring, rolls into Quacks middle, Quack grips him in a wheelbarrow position or Quesadora, and Matt flips up, going for Worst Case Scenerio!. He goes to roll through and splat Quack onto the mat face first, but Quack counters, he tries to flip through again but Quack has none of it and gets Mat onto his one shoulder, maneauvers it into Lightening Lock Delta!, Matt flails in pain*
Leonard- Oh and Quack reverses the Quesadora, and shows his masterful art of submission work, and gets another Lightening Lock in, this time it's Delta, and this might be it!
Hallowicked- Gah Rada boragah! Nasha goora ha dade ha! *Leonard hopes...he cant take much more of this...*
*Matt flails trying to get Quack to not lock it in fully...and he knees Quack in the head! Rolls out, quickly as Quack gets up dazed, Matt Superkicks him in the middle, and then Superkicks him in the head. Matt yells, and grabs his neck again, flips for a Shironu, and Quack stops him when he's right over him, and drops him into a piledriver position, crosses Matts legs...and Delivers a Quackendriver II!*
Leonard- OOOH! OUT OF NOWHERE, QUACKENDRIVER II! Alot of people have their own opinions of Quacks most dangerous move in the arsenal, if we're taking a poll, I'm voting Quackendriver II!
Hallowicked- Ooooooh...Hada ga mada...*runs thumb across throat, goodnight Jackson*
*Matt flops limp in the ring. Quack covers 1...2...3! PINFALL! Quack is moving onto the next round! Della applauds greatly as Mikko frowns...but claps.*
Leonard- Thank you for joining me Wicked its been...a pleasure...*Hallowicked groals and leaves, Leonard thanks the heavens above...*
*Quack kicks up, nods at Matt...currently out cold...a very valient effort, very applaudable...but he didnt want this as badly as he did...one opponent down...the medical staff comes and takes Matt to recover, and Nick is also right there to make sure he's alright. Mikko is also watching intently, Della just sighs and says* Demons are tough, he'll be fine... *Mikko nods and sits back down*
*Gavin gets back in the ring* No rest for the weary, lets get right back to it! And now for the next contest, we have one third of the Batiri, against one third of the Colony! Its the unstable Obariyon, vs the ever popular Greeeeeeeen Ant!
*The screen flickers to Obariyon who grins* So my first opponent is Green Ant...a very good technical technico, hes done alot, head of the Colony, King of Trios, and some big time wins. Yeah Green Ant you're the talk of the town aint ya? ...Well get ready for one hell of a rude awakening...if you think Im going to be pushed around in ths match you have another thing coming. People think Im just some green goofball that twitches alot...well the people who listen to my brother are stupid! Just you wait Green Ant...you havent seen exactly what I can do in that ring, but Ill guarentee...your about ti find out! *Mikko looks worried coming back to earth. Tiana wouldn't miss this match, not one with Obariyon... and will Obariyon be hurt if he doesn't see her there?*
*Screen flickers to Green Ant* Obariyon, buddy! So its you I get in the first round well...to be fair Obariyon yes not many people give you the credit you deserve, yes you have great ring skill, and I'll admit I wasnt the biggest fan of yours but I'm looking forward to this. Obariyon...tonight, its you and me going one on on, now Im not going to brag about my accomplishments, because that gets you nowhere...what gets you soemwhere is going in that ring everynight like you're a newcomer, with a new challenge, a new obsticle, and thats what you are Obariyon, a hurdle I must overcome to pass on to the next round. Im going to do whatever it takes to do that. Obariyon...you're prepared to show me what you can do in the ring, well I welcome you're challenge...see you out there... *Mikko is silent, and looks around...no Tiana...she looks over at the entrance.*
*The Batiri's theme plays, and out comes Obariyon growling, ready to this match. However he goes over to Della and Co...and sees the empty seat...and quickly looks away, he will not lose focus, but...where was she? MIkko raises two Obariyon flags. One that's hers, and one... well... she'll cheer on behalf of both of them. Darkdiamond backstage watching this, falters for a second. Mantis takes her away from the entrence and to the back, and the Colony's theme starts, and our runs Green Ant* Yeah! Lets get this going! *Mikko and Della wave the flags. Green Ant high fives Della and steps in the ring
Leonard- Wrestling fans we are in for a treat here in the ring and on commentary we have Lightening Mike Quackenbush joining us and in the ring we have Obariyon vs Green Ant, both men have alot to prove, what are your thoughts Mike?
Quack- Well it is a pleasure to be here first of all, and of course this is a contest where in my opinion there is no clear cut favorite. Green Ant is someone who I trained hard in the wrtestlefactory, and he is a very gifted young man, however Obariyon is a brawler, and very unpredictable in the ring, and I have seen some of his hard hitting moves. We will see how both interact with each other in the ring...
*The bell sounds, and Obariyon and Green circle the ring, the lock up, Green and gets him in the headlock and Obariyon shoves him off, Green grabs Obariyons arm and spins back into the headlock, sinching it in, Obariyon growls, lifting up Green like Kodama did Icarus for a suplex counter. Green kicks his legs stopping the momentum and plants his feet firmly, Obariyon takes the momentary distraction and shoves Green Ant off into the ropes, but Green comes right back with a leaping headbutt to the chest sending Obariyon right down*
Leonard- And thats the danger of Green Ant, he can go from a slow paced technical game right into a quick burst of energy!
Quack- And Leonard that is the type of offense that has won Green Ant alot of matches
*Obariyon groans, gets up, to be met by another leaping headbutt sending him down again. Green goes for a third, but Obariyon counters getting up and driving a knee to the stomach. Green Crumbles, Obariyon picks him up by the antenne and forearms him in the head, then holds his arm groaning in pain. Green Ant roars, grabbing Obariyons head and delivering a headbiutt, Obariyon flops rolling out of the ring on wobbly legs, turns in time to see Green Ant Suicide Dive right on top of him, Green gets up screaming, theres some of that Fire Ant spirit. Obariyon is still down, Green Ant stares, then gets up on the ring and...climbs to the top rope! points to Obariyon, and leaps going for a Splash onto the outside, Obariyon springs up! and hits Green Ant with a drop kick on the way down, both sprawl on the floor*
Leonard- Great quickness by Green Ant, but even better reflexes by Obariyon there, seeing that top rope splash coming, and Obariyon dropkicked him hard, now the question is can he capitalize
Quack- Well it certianly was a fine counter, but outside of the ring wont get anything done, he has to drag him into the ring now, which is easier said than done*
*Obariyon gets up slowly, and grabs Green Ant chucking him in the ring, gets in the ring and covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Obariyon sighs, picks Green Ant up, goes for a suplex, Green Ant flips over countering, landing behind Obariyon. Green delivers a headbutt to the back of the head, hooks Obariyons arm and lifts him up for an Inverted Samoan Driver. Covers 1..2...KICKOUT! Green Ant gets up wasting no time gets up and looks to apply the Cloverleaf, but Obariyon rolls through and runs at Green Ant, Green Ant sends him into the opposite ropes but Obariyon counters and grabs Green Ant, fips over him, hooking him and applies an Octopus Stretch, Green screams and flails, trying to stay on his feet, and trying to get to ropes*
Leonard- Very nice by Obariyon there just when he seemed on the ropes he applies a very nice Octopus Stretch like hold there
Quack- Green Ant however is very deceptively strong, and is also very smart. It is a fine hold, but Green Ant has been put in tougher...not to discount Obariyon of course, however, I did not train Obariyon, and I did train Green Ant...
*Green Ant screams, and reverses, flipping Obariyon right into a tilt-o-whirl backbreaker! Obariyon flops to the mat, Green Ant points to the top rope, climbs there, and leaps for a Top Rope Splash, hits Obariyon perfectly, cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Green Ant growls* Ah come on!
Leonard- Well Quack you were right but Obariyon showing good heart here, wont be put down so easily!
Quack- As I expected, Green Ant as I said, is very reliant and technically sound, but what Obariyon is is stubborn, but in a good way, so Green Ant is going to need to put alot into this fight to make this green demon stay down...
*Green grabs Obariyons legs for the second attempt at a Cloverleaf, but Obaryion rolls through again, getting to the ropes, Green Ant steps back, then runs at him. Obariyon leaps, Green Ant hitting the turnbuckle, Obariyon comes down driving his knees into green ants back for a Lungblower! but he doesnt go for the coer, he crawls up to the top ropes, signals for his flying DDT as Green Ant staggers to his feet*
Leonard- Not going for the cover there Obariyon seems to want to put this away with that Flying DDT!
* * Hmm...well in my opinion you go for every cover you can get, but if he hits this that wont matter...
*Obariyon is about to leap, but then, for a SPLIT second...he gets distracted...staring at that empty chair. He shakes his head, turns and quickly leaps, and Green and Springs up, headbutting him right in the stomach as he comes down, and rolls through, sinching in the Cloverleaf! Obariyon screams reaching for the ropes that look a mile away, Mikko shouts* Come o-on Obariyon!
Leonard- Oh Obariyon paused, and it cost him, a bit headbutt to the stomach, and now Green Ant's signiture Cloverleaf!
*Quack watches...he know exactly why he paused, and saw exactly where he looked*
*Obariyon crawls desperatly to the ropes, but Green Ant turns and applies a knee directly on Obariyons head, Obariyon screams in agony, reaches, theres nothing there...and...taps out!...Green Ant wins by Submission! Mikko stares...and frowns angrily. Tiana's going to get an earful from her later*
Leonard- Oh a tough break for the Batiri in round one here, Kodama is the only one making it through, however Green Ant scors one for the Colony after Fire Ants loss! Its been a pleasure talking to you Mike!
Quack- Of course Leonard *nods smiling and leaves*
*Obariyon rolls out of the ring to Della and Co...Tiana not being there effected him more than he'll admit. Just nods going to the side, Green Ant cheers, shouts* one down baby! *high fives della, even pats Obariyon on the back as he goes by, going up to the commentary booth. Della high fives him... then goes over to Obariyon. Puts a hand on his shoulder. Quietly* You alright 'Bary? *She can't help keeping the nicknames for her favorites. Obariyon nods* ...Yeah Im good...that Cloverleaf hurt like hell though... *Della frowns* Not what I'm talking about.*Obariyon pauses, and sighs* ...Im just wondering where she is...something really must have her attention to be missing this...*Dell squeezes his shoulder gently* Maybe she got tired early and went to bed. She's still really little. *Obariyon sighs* Yeah...these matches are taped...Im sure she'll want to see me later even if I lost. *Della smiles* You did great 'Bary. You really gave it your all. I think you even got Green Ant's respect there. *Obariyon nods* Yeah...thanks...at least Kodama made it out of the three of us...*Della pats his shoulder* Yeah... *Goes back to her seat. Mikko is frowing furiously at the empty seat.*
*Gerard stares at Mikko* I must be rubbing off on that kid...the frown give me a run for my depressing money...*Tom grins a little, but no time to ponder that, the next contest is ready to be announced by Gavin*
*Gavin booms* Next up we have the baddest of the Insect Evildoer Ultramantis Black! Versus one third of F.I.S.T., the Whole Shebang, Johnnyyyyy Gargano!
*The screen flickers, and theres Ultramantis* Ahh the time for reckoning has indeed come! Yes...YES INDEED! hahaha! The Orders rise has already begun in this tournament, Hallowicked disposed of the meek Kobald...just as I will dispose of the ridiculous and disposable Johnny Gargano. Gargano has alot of nicknames for himself, the whole shebang, the cats pajamas, the bees knees. Yes...ALOT OF NICKNAMES...indeed indeed. Well Johnny...when I am through with you, they'll only be calling you one thing...ROADKILL...as I leave you flat on the ring beating within a an inch of your pathetic life! And the rise of the Order of the Neo Solar Temple will only rise greater in this tournament! First Gargano...then...THE WORLD! HAHAHAHA! ...DEVIOUS! *Tom has a sedative on hand if Della gets out of hand*
*Gargano is on next...he sighs* Wow...Ultramantis...you...you really got me scared there, im litterally shaking I mean...I dont know if Ill ever be ablee to step in the ring again...oh WOE is me...*smirks* Yeah right, Ultramantis you're little scary act you like to put on isnt gonna work on the Whole Shebang here. See Ultramantis, Im a member of F.I.S.T. and well...people have differing opinions on F.I.S.T. members...except Icarus...people really have a definitive opinion on Icarus. Anyway, beside the point, tonight Ultramantis I have one thing in my favor you dont. You have what four little cronies that will applaud for you...but when you step out to that crowd, they arent going to be cheering for you...they'll be cheering for me to kick your mandibles down your throat, and thats exactly what I'm going to do. Mantis you're going to regret the day you took me lightly...you're really...going to regret it *he smiles and winks. Darkdamond Is back to standing straight and tall at her post, crosses her arms at Gargano's promo.*
*F.I.S.T.'s theme starts, Blue Monday by Orgy, and out strolls Gargano smirking* WHO WANTS TO SEE AN INSECT SQUASHED IN THE RING TONIGHT? *Della screams* ME! *Tom nods* Yep. *Mikko has a thunderstorm brewing, shes already ticked as it is. Gargano nods* Ill be sure to make it happen people! *takes a chair in the ring, stands on it and poses, crowd cheers*
*The Order's theme starts up, Teraing the Veil by Cradile of Filth, and...out strolls Ultramantis, staff and all, just glaring at the ring containing Gargano, Della grips the guardrail...almost bending it, Tom squeezes her shoulder lightly*
Leonard- Hello wrestling fans, Leonard Chikarason here with this very interesting match, the one time Gargano may have a big following behind him, as he faces Ultramantis Black, joining me is the most recent winner, Green Ant ladies and gentleman!
Green- Hey Leonard, and you are right, Gargano's a guy I dont normally root for but under these circumstances he's gonna get alot of support from me to know Mantis out of this Tournament...
*Gargano doesnt even give Mantis time to get in the ring, gets to the outside and starts beating him down, gets his Staff and tosses it, and rips his robe off of him. Gargano strikes with right hands and kicks to the side, throws Mantis in the ring, Mantis springs up and knees Gargano who is outside of the ropes, runs to the opposite end of the ropes, springs off running at Gargano intent to knock him off the ropes hard. Gargano however, has something else in mind, and springs in using the middle rope and spearing Ultramantis hard. Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Gargano groans, he didnt think it'd be that easy*
Leonard- Gargano on the early assault here good strategy dont want to give Mantis any momentum here
Green- Good spear there from Johnny, but he'll need more than that, as much as I hate Mantis he's tough...
*Gargano gets Mantis up again, delivers a spin kick to his middle, and runs to the ropes for possibly another spear, but Mantis counters sidestepping him, Gargano turns and runs at Mantis who scoops him up and hits him with Cosmic Disaster! Spiking Gargano on his head! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Gargano flails away, that was way too close, Mantis pulls him back, gets him up and delivers a falling neckbreaker, snapping his head back again, cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Mantis growls, holding nothing back, being very ruthless right now, Gargano really ticked him off*
Leonard- Andd here is what we were talking about folks, give Mantis an inch and he'll take a mile!
Green- And with a Cosmic Disaster so early in the match, Gargano cant be feeling good after that...
*Mantis picks him up, and picks him up in position for Cosmic Doom, an even worse spike on the head, but Gargano elbows out of it, spins mantis around and delivers an Enzeguri kick to the side of the head, Mantis drops to his knees, Gargano steps back, and delivers a Ace Crusher or 'Baby' Ace Crusher neck breaker to Mantis, spiking him on the head, cover, 1...2...KICKOUT! Gargano groans...this match has turned hard hitting very fast...*
Leonard- Both men have wasted absolutly NO TIME bringing out the big guns. Its claear that they dont want this match to be drawn out, bith want to win, and want to win quickly
Green- Sometimes doing that though can be a mistake, trying to really fast pace a match can expell just as much energy as a normal paced one, both Johnny and Mantis though have big egos...so neither may not care about that at the moment...
*Gargano picks Ultramantis up on his shoudlers and gets him by the arms in a Reverse Cross Bomb position, and runs to a turnbuckle, and runs at the opposite one going for the 'You're Dead!' a lauch of the opponent with all your might into the turnbuckle head first. Mantis kicks, gets off, grabs Gargano from behind in a full nelson position and delivers a Full Nelson Driver, slamming Gargano on his back, Covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Mantis groans, growing impatient. Della mumbles* Twist his head off...
Leonard- Mantis and Gargano not the only ones wanting this match over, Della is noticibly riled up at seeing Mantis
Green- For obvious reasons, we can only hope that Gargano can get back into this one...
*Mantis gets up, gets Gargano up and goes for Cosmic Doom again but Gargano counters, turns Mantis over and spin kicks him in the gut. Gargano lifts Mantis up in a reverse cross position again, and runs to the turnbuckle again, and delivers the You're Dead!, Mantis's head smacking right into the middle turnbuckle, Gargano runs at him, grabs him around the middle, and delivers a bridging German Suplex, holds on and bridges, Mantis spiking on his head folding, Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Gargano growls and pounds the mat furiously*
Leonard- A good counter and brilliant set of moves there by Johnny but it still isnt enough, Mantis will not go down
Green- Come on Johnny stay on him...
*Gargano gets up, Ultramantis on his knees, Gargano delivers a kick to the side of his head, Mantis droops, Gargano picks him up, looks like he's setitng up for something but out of nowhere Mantis picks him up on his shoulders screaming and delivers a Death Valley Driver, Gargano smacking his head hard on the mat, cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Mantis roars at the official* YOU LIE...YOU LIIIIIIEE! *Official groans* It was 2 Mantis! *Mantis roars back* YOU'RE MAKING IT UP!
Leonard- Mantis getting frustrated here, but the again that isnt hard to do...
Green- Hopefully that gets to him...
*Mantis gets Gargano up, and goes for Cosmic Doom AGAIN, Gargano slips behind him, gets him in a Full Nelson position, lifts him up, and drops him to the side, smacking his head hard off the mat for the Hurts Donut! cover 1...2...KICKOUT! *Gargano looks at the celing flopping on the mat...he cant believe it...that was his finisher! *Manti flops like fish out of water on the mat*
Leonard- Got to be KIDDING me! The Hurts Donut is Johnny's finisher, how did Mantis kick out!
*Green Ant groans* Cpome on you have him on the ropes keep at it!
*Gargano picks Mantis up, hooks him in another Full Nelson, hoists him up for another Hurts Donut, but Mantis Counters kicking, turns, kicks Gargano in the middle, and goes for Cosmic Doom again, Gargano flails with all his being countering out of it, goes to throw Mantis out of the ring, Mantis counters, Gargano holds onto the outside, positions for spear, Mantis turns back around and sees him there, Gargano springs, Mantis goes to the left and delivers a kick right to his face, Gargano reels on his knees*
Leoanrd- Oh I felt that from up here...
Green- I wont be surprised if a bone broke there...
*Mantis roats* DDAAAAHH! *picks Gargano up, underhooks both arms in a Wings of Icarus Tiger Driver position, and then lifts him straight up, Gargano is helpess upside down, then Mantis spikes him right on his head, The Praying Mantis Bomb! Gargano just goes limp, Mantis covers 1...2...3! Pinfall! Mantis advances...Mantis smirks* Hmhm...HAHAHA! *rolls out of the ring dazed* DEVIOUS! Very Devious! *Deela seethes and Tom gently rubs her shoulder, but she doesnt look happy at all*
Leonard- Oh a valiant effort but the Praying Mantis Bomb is devastating, and Mantis advances and...*sighs...he'll be next on commentary*...it was a pleasure talking to you Green Ant
*Green Ant nods* Thanks and...good luck...*he leaves as Mantis begind walking up*
*Not son after, Gavin is announcing the next match* Next we have two newcomers looking for the chance of a lifetime! The intergalactic Luchadora Saturyne versus the elegant unknown, DarkDiamond.
*Mantis immediatly perks up as he sitts next to Leonard, Leonard arches an eyebrow to him, then turns to the promos*
*Screen flickers to Saturyne, she smiles* Hey there fans...Im pretty new on the block but Im hoping to give it my all out there and go as far in this tournament as far as I can. So DarkDiamond, you're pretty new on the block too...so good luck out there...but Im going to do my best send you into orbit *nods smiling*
*Screen flickers to Darkdiamond, and...Frightmare...looks like he'll be doing the talking for her* A gadda mash de a la gooda a ga de! Una des na grasumbgaa! greela bunga dodo! RAAAAH! *DarkDiamons stays silent as they walk off screen*
*Saturynes theme starts up, a sort of spacey, a very base sounding theme, and out she comes High fives the fans and goes around the ring*
*The Orders theme starts up again out comes Darkdiamond stoically followed by Frightmare accomanying her to the ring*
Leonard- Folks we dont know much about either competitor here, Saturyne is the newest Wrestlefactory graduate, and DarkDiamond...Mantis?
Mantis- Oh she is a PRIZE! Trust me...
*Leonard blinks* So she is the newest trainee from...you?
*Mantis nods* Oh yes, yes INDEED! And you are about to see what she can do first hand! So let us watch...
*Saturyne and Diamond lock up, Saturyne headlocks, Diamond counters spinning out getting Saturyne in a wrist lock, but then brings her leg up eligantly to kick Saturynes prone arm, Saturyne groans holding it. Diamond advances and grabs her by the head, snapmaring her over into a sitting position, and delivers a kick to the back, hops over saturyne not breaking stride and kicks her across the chest*
Leonard- Well first impressions are something and these movements and kicks by this arkDiamond are very impressive, Saturyne has beeen thrown completely for a loop here
Mantis- Yes Leonard as you can see her style is very strike based! *Although he is seeing this the first time himself...he cant let anyone know that,..*
*Diamond doesnt go for a cover, takes Saturynes hands, and places a foot on Saturynes chest and delivers a reverse curp stomp driving her foot right to her chest,, Saturyne oofs, wind being driven out of her*
Leonard- Oh a devastating Reverse Curb Stomp there, but why is DarkDiamons not covering here?
Mantis- Well of course its her first match I would ASSUME she doesnt want it to end early...
*Diamond picks Saturyne up, who breaks out of her grip and delivers a kick to Diamonds leg, followed by another, Saturyne runs and springs against the ropes, ducks Diamonds clothesline and leaps cross bodying her. Covers 1...Kickout! Saturyne rolls through, as does diamond, Diamong grabs Saturyne in a Uranage position,does a backflip WITH saturyne, slamming her on her back, called a Spanish Fly. Gets Saturyne into a sitting position and delivers another kick to the chest...she still wont cover...*
Leonard- Saturyne is trying here but DarkDiamond is someone she couldn't study up on, someone who just came out of thin air and she is very unpredictable. She still wont cover however what is wrong with her?
Mantis- Well I for one thing this match is going splendidly!
*Saturyne gets up, runs at Diamond who just stands there for a Hurricanranna, but Diamond shovers her off, Saturyne flips off and turns again to run at her, but Diamond grabs her by the neck falling down spiking her for an Ace Crusher!*
Leonard- Oh an Ace Crusher out of nowhere, but she STILL wont cover, is she enjoying this?
Mantis- I know I am...
*Saturyne gets to her knees, Diamond turns, flips, and delivers a Pele kick, the top of her foot cracking Saturyne right in the head. Saturyne crumbles, Diamond picks her up, turns to Frightmare...Frightmare nods*
Leonard- Wait a minute...she was waiting for the ok to finish her?
*Diamond gets Saturynes neck, looks like shes going to snapmare her, but just goes down, slamming Saturynes head into the mat for a Snapmare Driver!...Cover...1...2...3...pinfall! DarkDiamond advances*
Leonard- Oh and a very impressive win there, Mantis I must say wherever you got this girl she- ...Mantis? *he's gone*
*Mantis strolls back to the ring...strolls into the ring with a microphone, Della growls*... What's HE doing here again? We saw enough of him already... *Mntis just yells on the microphone* I told you! I told you all a new dawn was rising...and it starts here! *points* with DarkDiamond! This is what happens when people meddle in buisiness that is not their own! There are consequences that benefit me in the end! *Della blinks* What's he talking about? *Mantis speaks up* ...Before that however...a brush up on the rules of this tournament. Once entered, unless severaly injured to the point you cant walk for your next match or heaven forbid...you die...hmhm...you cannot be taken out of this tournament. You enter...you finish until you lose...isnt that right oh supreme Director fo Fun? *Mandy glares from the box office she is sitting in...but its true it is the rule she made, Mantis laughs* I've trumped the system, Ive trumped the technico family, and...not the only family I got revenge on...Darkdiamond!...Remove your mask please!
*Darkdiamond bows to Ultramantis, and removes her mask...there is Tiana...and about the entire crowd goes dead silent. Della stares...and looks like she is about to pounce in the ring, but Quck quickly runs to riungside and Quack ties her up gently* DELLA DONT! IT'S WHAT HE WANTS! *Mantis grins* Hmmm...yes...*pats Tiannas head and pinches her cheek* As you can see I think...a few people know who Darkdiaomond is...very well...*A green blur zooms to the ring, but he's blindsides by Frlghtmare, and then Crossbones grabs him, Obariyon, and throws him into the guardrail, he slumps in pain having already been in a match, Mantis continues* Do not interfere! No one will interfere...you cannot take DarkDiamond out of the tournament, you cant do anything to her, DarkDiamond is mine...and once I win this tournament, she'll be mine...FOREVER HAHAHAHA! *Della shouts* GOD, QUACK LET ME GO, THAT'S MY DAUGHTER! THAT'S MY DAUGHTER, TIANA! TIANA COME HERE! GET AWAY FROM HIM! *Tiana shows no signs of recognition for Della or Obariyon. You can practically hear Della's heart break... again...*
*Quack growls* What have you done Mantis? *Mantis smiles* You like it? A nice memory erasing spell...easy to mold her in my image then, and look at her, perfectly refined! Now Della...the only way you'll get your daughter back, is if she loses...and with my training that will not happen, if all goes as planned...it will be me and her in the final match, and she will lay down like a good girl...and I will have the crown jewel...and I will RUUUUULE ALL! *Della stares. There's nothing she can do, it's against the rules, even saving her daughter from this creep... she lowers her head, her body going limp. She's not going to attack. She can't. Not just because of the rules. Mantis broke her by taking one of her daughters. She doesn't have fight IN her right now. Tom, however, is standing by the ring, and motions to UltraMantis.*
*Mantis turns to him* No Tom, you cannot fight me, and you can not overtake me...what you dont understand is that these tournament rules are strictly binding...the only one who may take me down is someone here...And no one is going to stop me! NO ONE AHAHAHAHA! *incidentally...Fightmare can be heard screaming and Crossbones running in the ring, Mantis turns blinking, just in time to see Frightmare being launched into the steel turnbuckle so hard he does about two spins beofre landing limp...standing where he was is Eddie Kingston, staring stoically at the ring...slight...eye tick, Mantis glares at him as Tom says* If you think that was bad, just wait until the tournament is over. The second I legally can... I will personally remove your head from your body with my bare hands. *Looks over at Tiana, who just rushes over to Frightmare and lifts him up, glaring at Kingston. He sits back in his seat. Mikko is just staring blankly, like she can't believe what just happened.*
*Eddie doesnt stare at her, Ultramantis and co leave dispercing, Obariyon getting up with help from Kodama, Kingston steps in the ring, and grabs the microphone* ...I swear...by my life, and I swaer...by my dying breath, and Im not speaking for me..Im speaking for every technico. This is the voice, of everyone of them...we wont stop...until that baby girl is returned home. I promise you that, and we promise you that. As for Mantis, the things Im going to do to him and his little group...*he twitches*...Cant exactly describe it...it's just...going to come to me like a good painting comes to an artist...and when it does, Im going to make sure...its a masterpiece...*Tiana replies disdainfully* I'm nobody's baby girl, I'm a servant of the great Ultramantis Black *tosses her head, donning her mask again* And I'm already home. Della grinds her forehead into the ground, clenching her teeth and trying not to break down right there, in front of everyone in the middle of Quack's hold*
*Quack releases her* Della...breathe, its not her talking...we'll bring her back, we all promise...breathe for me...nice and slow...you're pregnent, this isnt good for the baby...*Tom walks over. Puts a hand on Quacks shoulder* Thank you. *Kingston goes over next* Della...look at me please...*Della can't seem to. Tom lifts her up in his arms, and gently turns her head to Kingston, continues* Della...if I have to die...to get her home to you...I will do it. I promise you this will be temporary...she will come home...and Mantis will regret every second of his life afterword...*Della opens her mouth, but can't respond. Tom, for her, says* Thank you, Kingston. We trust you. *Della just closes her eyes, Kingston nods* I know its going to be hard to ask, but just go back to your seat...breathe, and relax...there are alot of technicos that care about you and love you, and want to see you when they wrestle...and want to help in anyway they can. Just keep it in your ind baby girl...this is temporary...it wont last...its like a bad dream that will be over soon...we'll all make sure of it. *Tom nods, takes her back to her seat*
*Mikko, meanwhile, runs over to Kodama and Obariyon, to make sure Obariyon's okay, and he is not...anything he can lift up at ringside he can throw, he is in a complete rage, Mikko stares* O-... O-... *grits her teeth. She WILL say a complete word without stumbling over it!* Obariyon! *Obariyon just keeps throwing things, turns finally eyes burning* WHY...WHY HER? WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THE ONE I HAD TO PROTECT? WHY DID I FAIL! HUH! IT COULDNT BE YOU? *Points to Kodama* FOR ONCE I CANT GET A BREAK HUH! SHE HAS TO FOLLOW AROUND THAT...THAT...PIECE OF SCUM! *Kodama sighs* I know you are too angry to know what you are saying so Ill let that slide...*Obariyon roars* ITS NOT FAIR! ITS JUST NOT FAIR! *Tirades kicking the guardrail, goes near Della. Della stares...she slides out of Tom's arms. Her limbs feel like lead, but Obariyon is losing his mind. Her knees buckle and she falls to them. Reaches out a hand. In a choked voice,* 'Bary. *Obariyon turns, breathing heavily, stares* ...WHY? ...WHY HER? ...*breaks down* WHY ME? *Della pulls him into a hug, shoulders shaking* I don't know...I don't know 'Bary...I wish I did... but they'll bring her back. They promised. She'll be back... she has to...*Della hugs Obariyon tightly and says* Listen... okay?... I don't blame you. If none of us, none of us at all, saw this coming...it's not all on you. You didn't fail her...we all did. I... *Swallows* ... I failed my daughter... it wasn't you.
*Obariyon just leans into her hug, he needs consoling...he feels like he failed his whole mission and lost his best friend even though he wont admit it...Gerard sighs, to Tom*...You know Tom...Ive been pretty depressed in my lifetime, pretty turmoiled yada yada, but...I dont think Mantis quite knows the hell he just jumped into. Almost makes me smile...*Tom growls* Oh he has no. I. Dea. *He's gripping the edge of his chair, and the metal is beeeeeending and molding under his grip. Vin pats his arm* Breathe big guy...they got this...*Tom nods* For now they got this. Afterward, he is mine. *Gerard sighs* Kingstons lucky he hurt me enough to not leave this chair for now...dont worry...I have enough hate for Mantis to also want to see him hung by his antenne. Dont worry, plenty of technico fire to go around with mine...
*Obariyon is calming down...says* Kodama...you're still left in this thing...bring her back for me...please... *Kodama nods* Like Kingston said...I'd die for Tiana...*Mikko Squeezes Kodama's hand. Quietly* But d-d-don't die if you can h-help it. Kodama nods* Oh I wont *Della lets go, kind of.* 'Bary would you... *still kind of wobbly* Would you sit with me too... I know I need to stay here for her but... I don't know if I can do this...*Obariyon nods and sits in Tianas chair nodding* Lets watch the rest of the matches...if anything can help take our minds off it...its people beating each other up...*Della sits there, nods weakly. Nothing is going to take her mind off it, but at least it will pass the time. Obariyon adds* Besides...Crossbones is still to be announced.,..I want to see that fat piece of crap get his...
*Della motions to Quack for a second, Quack walks over* Yes Della? *Della is silent for a moment...then says* Quack, I know you don't want to hurt Tiana, none of you do. But... *knows she is going to sound like a horrible person for saying this*... if it comes down to a choice between hurting her to take her out of the fight, or leaving her with UltraMantis Black forever...know that I won't hold it against any of you... if you do what you can to take her out of the fight. *Quack takes her hand and squeezes it* We're going to do out absolute best not to hurt her badly...I luckily know a flurry of painful holds that wont hurt...forever...but I dont know who she'll face next, whoever it is...strategy will be talked up...
*Della nods, and lapses back into silence. She said what she had to. Turns her attention back to the matches...she still needs to root for her friends in their matches...but now her mind is focused on one thing...saving her daughter...*
