XWF Xtreme Warfare.

August 23rd 2018.

The Palestra.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I might be in too much debt with the hell in my head

I'm way too aggressive

The nervous ticks, the twitch in my neck

I'll never oppress it…

*The loud scream from Beartooth's Aggressive song is suddenly combined with the loud scream along the lines of a female voice, the scene cuts to an illuminating background covered nearly entirely in a gray colored fog that seems to have been rising up from the floor. The instrumental to Aggressive slowly begins to fade out as a silhouette of the form of a woman appears within the fog as footsteps are heard slowly walking from the depths of the fog. The woman revealed from the smoke is none other than "The Supernova" Kailene Starr, dressed for her upcoming battle with Maxine Helmsley later on in the evening. Kailene looks to have been almost a shell of her former self, while her attire was bred of many forms of stars and endless galaxies, the look on her face was telling an entirely different story, her expression covered up mostly with her sleeveless gray hoodie, her hand tracing over the red and black label 不調で狂った which meant "Unhinged and Crazy" in Japanese stitched into the left corner of her jacket, close to her heart. Kailene continuously stared into the camera, a uncomfortable silence lingering around her as she begun to look all over and around her arms: the marks, the scars that remain on them from her battles all over the globe to get to this very moment*

Kailene-"The XWF World Heavyweight Championship. One of the most…wait, excuse me, the most prestigious prize in all of professional wrestling today. I've been all over the world, honing and perfecting my craft from high school gyms and local bars where barely anyone even knew the very concept of pro wrestling to 10,000 arenas packed with the most passionate of wrestling fans screaming to the pitch top of their lungs, hanging on every awe and every move that you perform in that very ring. From ROH, Chikara, CZW, AAA, New Japan, every one of those canvas that I've shed damn near every drop of blood, sweat and tears has led me back here to this very moment right here in XWF. I'm one of the remaining originals of Xtreme that's still here, that never had a shred of doubt that XWF would return one day and it is here. The revival is here and alive, Philadelphia!"

Kailene-"And I'm here too. I'm back and I'm better than ever. The XWF Championship is perhaps the greatest title that I have yet to hold in my grasp. To tell you the truth and to be a straight shooter, I don't know if I could keep going on with my career without ever holding the XWF Heavyweight Championship of the world. Its something that I cannot envisioned, its something that I don't even want to think about. It eats me alive day in and day out, It's a disease within me that will eat me whole, that will haunt me for the rest of my life if I never get to hold that title in my hands, just once…just once! That's something that 500 pound lard of garbage, Armando Cyrus doesn't seem to get, even with having his greasy fingers all over the damn title belt. It's something that Katrina Love doesn't understand, that Eddie Styles doesn't understand, that Ryan Keys, Jaden Cage and even…

*Kailene lets out a small chuckle from within herself as the person treads her mind*

Kailene-"…Detrick Cyrus, The Lucha Warrior could never understand if his life depended on it."

Kailene-"Now to Maxine Helmsley, the heir to Triple H, the Queen of Queens, it seems that she has inherited her father's abilities. Including that giant sized nose of his as well. You see Maxie Pad, I actually respect you, I respect your abilities to get the job done in that squared circle. I respect the work that you've put in, I truly, truly do but your work isn't even a 1/3 of what I've done. It's not even compatible at all. You, you didn't need much work in because of your last name, because of the genes that's running through your body at this very second, Maxine. You only had to work just enough to get a place, I had to scratched and claw my nails to the very bone of my fingertips to even be recognized, to even be noticed! That's something you don't and never will understand in your life. You don't understand the drive, the hunger, the constant times of wanting to give up and give in, times where you'd wish you were dead because you couldn't take it anymore!"

*Kailene slowly removes her hoodie from her jacket, her long black hair draping over her face as her head slowly rises up, her piercing eyes staring straight into the camera, her arms moving from the sleeves of her jacket as the leather material falls to the floor as the dozens of scars on the arms of Starr is shown in a brief camera closeup as Kailene turns her arms in all manners to show the hell she's put herself through to get to this moment. She could feel, she could sense the XWF World Heavyweight Title in her clutches and she was going to be dammed if anything were to get in her way. Kailene moves her hand up to her head, brushing her lengthy waves of hair from out of her face as she looks into the camera, nearly visualizing staring into the eyes of Maxine Helmsley as if she was in front of her at this very moment*

Kailene-"I've faced failure and rejection in my life over and over and over again, it is not a new feeling to me but tonight, it's going to be for you, Maxine. For the first time, failure is going to hit you, its going to feel like a knife has been stabbed right into your chest and you're going to be the one to not know what you're going to do or where you're going to go following this. For the first time in your life, you're going to be left wandering around like a lost soul in this world that we call the business of professional wrestling. I've been down that road one too many times and now, its time for you to venture down that road. Its time for you to wander into Parts Unknown. Maxine."

Kailene-"Maxine….
今夜、あなたは超新星に燃えています

Kon'ya, anata wa chōshinsei ni moete imasu

(Tonight, You're getting burned by the Supernova).

*The scene transforms into a visual of Kailene Starr being watched from a television monitor as the scene pans back to a dark room as three illumining feminine figures wearing masks that looked to have had a skull like design on the front of each of them walked around the television, staring right at the television screen as one who appeared to have been the ringleader of the trio takes out a large brown envelope from behind them, taking out the contents of the envelope to revealed to have been three separate stacks of what looked to have been $10,000 in cash for each of the three members. The trio counted their shares of the money in quick fashion as the ringleader stares back at the television screen that had Kailene on it as she motioned a throat slit motion as she pointed back towards Kailene, the other two nodding their heads in agreement as the trio slowly walked off into the darkness surrounding the room, their faint footsteps are the only source of sound to come from the room as the scene cuts to black*

*The scene cuts to backstage as Detrick Cyrus is seen walking back from the arena, a large grin placed over his face as he just defeated Alex Carter and was moving on to the second round of the tournament, inching closer and closer to his dreams of being the XWF World Heavyweight Champion. As Detrick walked down the hall, the sounds of clapping is soon heard coming into the surface as out walked from the side of Cyrus was the owner of XWF, Armando Cyrus who looked to had a brown bag in his hands as he stared right at Detrick with a wicked smirk across his face, Detrick quickly removes the tape from around his hands as he stood in a stance, preparing for anything that was going to be thrown his way or for any shady tactics that Armando may have had in mind for his nephew*

Armando-"Relax, relax, sobrino. Just take a chill pill, amigo? You're letting the adrenaline get to your head now, man. I'm not here to fight you. I'm just here to wish you congratulations for what you did out there. Alex Carter was nothing but a scrub that couldn't get the job done even on his best day and even on one of your worst days as well. Job well done and I got you something too. It was from your uncle Eddie and.."

*Detrick places his hand just mere inches from the face of Armando, cutting him off which didn't seem to please the owner of Xtreme Wrestling Federation*

Detrick-"Save it. Don't go there. Do not go that route, Armando. Don't try to use Eddie to try and make yourself some saint now. First, you try to hand me the XWF World Championship on a silver platter, then you boot me right in the face when I reject your offer? Try to cost me my dream? My chance to be the XWF World Heavyweight Champion? What are you trying to do? What exactly is your reason for all of this?"

*Armando tosses down the bag as he storms over closer to Detrick, looming over him with his large stature and physique*

Armando-"My reason?! My reason?!
no soy dueño de ninguna explicación,
Quién crees que eres?! We are blood, we are family! This business will eat you up and spit you out like you're garbage! Do you see what it done to Chavo? huh?! What it done to Vickie?! It made fun of her and mocked her, the widow of Eddie! This business killed your uncle, Detrick! It killed Eddie! I'm protecting you! I'm trying to prevent the same thing from happening to you! This business has used up the Guerrero name for years upon years and treated it with nothing but classlessness and disrespect. I'm here to right the wrongs that all these gringos has done to our name, to our family legacy!"

*Detrick slowly backs away from Armando, almost as if he agreed with the words that Armando was saying, they really hit home to the Lucha Warrior and his heart as small traces of tears looked to have been forming in the eyes of Cyrus, lowering his head down as he brushed his hand over his face, contemplating his next words to Armando as he suddenly raises his hand and slaps Armando right across the face! The sound echoes loud from the surroundings around him, Armando's head remained frozen in a adjacent angle as he looked almost in shock and disbelief at what had just transpired right before his own eyes, his large hand covering over his face*

Detrick-"Don't you dare speak that shit to me! This business didn't kill Eddie!
¿quién diablos eres tú para decir esa basura! Eddie gave his life, his blood, his sweat, his passion, his life to this sport! This goes generations beyond generations and now to me! I'll be dammed if I ever associate myself with the likes of you ever! I'd rather die and rot in hell for all of eternity than to ever sell my soul to the likes of you,
Bastardo! So you can take whatever it was that you stole from Vickie, take it back to her and get the hell out of here..and get the hell out of my life..for good! I'll be the XWF World Heavyweight Champion! On my terms! My own way! The right way!"

*Detrick turns his back on Armando as he begins to walk in the opposite direction of Armando as a loud yell of his name is heard coming from the source of Armando Cyrus. The loud and passionate scream of rage and hatred emitted from Armando sounded enough to make Hurricane Florence shifted backwards. Detrick remains turned away from Armando as Armando turns his head towards the direction of Cyrus, his hand still holding on to his face from the slap from Detrick just a few moments ago. Detrick then suddenly turns his head over his shoulder, looking back at the sight of the fuming and raging sight of Armando Cyrus*

Armando-"Don't go just yet, kid. I want you to pay close attention tonight..especially to the main event. Your cousins, right? Eddie Styles vs. Katrina Love? Guess what? Whoever wins that match will be your opponent in the second round of the tournament. And since I don't trust referees around here and you're free..I'm making you the special referee."

Detrick-"Is that all?"

Armando-"Far from it. You see, XWF is filled with useless employees that I've been paying for to do absolutely nothing for a long time now. So..whomever shoulders you pin to the mat, whether its Katrina's or Eddie's…well, they're going to be terminated from Xtreme Wrestling Federation!"

Detrick-"What?! You can't do that!"

Armando-"I just did. I told you that I'd make your life a living hell if you wasn't going to do the right thing and join me, learn the ropes. So, I'd have to make those closest around you lives' hell. Oh…and one more thing, watch closely to the tournament matches tonight as well. Especially Maxine vs. Kailene, that one may seem to be a bit close to home for you."

Detrick-"What the hell is that suppose to mean?! What the hell does that mean, Armando?!"

Armando-"Whoa. You sound a little tense there, What's going on? You seem rather concerned about someone, huh? Is it Maxine?"

Detrick-"If you do anything to her..I swear to God…"

*Detrick remains silent as if looks could kill, Armando would've been exhumed and in a body bag in a matter of a few seconds, Detrick tried to hold on to any linger amounts of rage and anger that was controlling his body as Armando picks up the brown paper bag from earlier as he walks closer towards Detrick, placing his hand over his shoulder as he leaned to the ear of Detrick*

Armando-"Just so this is a future lesson for you to look back on, Detrick. I know my sources and I know my ways. Nunca intentes joder conmigo. And don't swear to god anymore because as this looks right now..I am GOD to you and anyone else that believe that they can try their luck with him..Oh, and here's your present."

*Armando reaches into the bag as he pulls out a referee shirt, slamming it right against the chest of Detrick who snatches the shirt as he tries to contain every ounce of venom that is flowing through his body at this moment*

Armando-"Good luck out there, ref."

To be continued….

A/N- Okay, I know there wasn't much matches in this chapter but I wanted to leave something to look forward to and with Hurricane Florence coming soon and with me in Charlotte, I don't exactly know what the extent of the damage may be to me, in regards to the power and whatnot, so this was a bit rushed to get out early before Florence gets here. I thank everyone that's been tuning in and back into watching Xtreme Wrestling Federation evolve and process into something meaningful and very special to my heart. Always remember to leave a review on the story and PM me if you have any questions or concerns revolving XWF or your character in here. See you guys soon.

Peace, DomoAdams.
