(Before the Show)
We can see Sawada Tsunayoshi and Shinji Ikari in the GM's Office with Nazirul.
"You better have a good explanation for having us in this office." Shinji reminded.
"I do have an explaination Shinji. Since I got a match for you guys, I've decided to cut the chase and have a Contract Signing in this office instead of in the ring." Nazirul explained.
"... you don't want any of us to go through a table in a Contract Signing right?" Tsuna asked as Nazirul nods.
"Alright, now sign the Contract to make your PPV Match official." Nazirul ordered.
"Okay. Before I sign this Contract, let me remind you about this Tsuna. Maybe I'm not at good as Taiki, but I will not go easy on you since Taiki picked me as the chosen challenger for your belt. I will fullfill Taiki's order and win one for the Rookie Revolution." Shinji warned before signing the contrat.
"Maybe you're not Taiki, but there's no way I'm going to underestimate you Shinji. Give me everything you got, but the fact is clear: I'm going to retain this title and Headline Anime Mania with it, even if I had to face Taiki all over again." Tsuna responded before signing the contract.
"Thank you for signing this Contract guys. Now go and warm yourself up since you will be in a Tag Team Match. And your respective partners will be Iori Hida and Masaru Daimon. Good luck!" Nazirul said before the two leaves the office.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the go home edition of Thursday Night Battleline, Live in Baltimore, Maryland! Where we are 72 hours away from the Anime Rumble PPV!" Hayato introduced.
"Before the PPV stats, not only we got Daisuke vs Takeru for the 3rd time in AWF, but we also got a Steel Cage match with the Japanese Title on the line!" Wataru announced.
(Kai En Tai Theme Plays)
"This match is set for one fall! Introducing first, representing the Chimeras, Yusuke Urameshi!" Yui announced as the crowd boos.
"After Kuwabara picked up the victory last week, it's Yusuke's turn to try and follow him as he takes on Renton tonight." Taisuke explained.
"If Yusuke wins this match, Masaru will have both members of the Spirit Detectives to watch his back on this Sunday's 6 Way Match for the Extreme Title." Klein continued.
(I Am Phenomenal by Dale Oliver Plays)
"And his opponent, from Bells Forest, Renton Thurston!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"With almost all members of both group at the ring in the same thing, this is obviously an important match." Hayato pointed.
"If Yusuke wins, Iori, Taichi and Amata might have a tough time handling Masaru and the Spirit Detectives in the same ring in 3 days." Wataru reminded.
(Bell Rings)
The two circled around the ring until Renton tried to push Yusuke onto the corner to no effect before Yusuke blasts Renton with several punches onto his back before lifting him up and goes for a Powerslam. Renton however manages to slip away before turning Yusuke around and kicks him away to the chest. After several more kicks onto Yusuke, Renton bounces off the ropes and charges towards Yusuke only to eat a Spinebuster followed by a pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Renton kicks out.
Yusuke picks Renton up only to get several punches to the face and once Renton bounces off the ropes, Yusuke goes for a Clothesline only to have Renton dodging it before Renton bounces off the other ropes and knocks Yusuke down with a Tilt-a-Whirl Arm Drag! Once Yusuke gets up, Renton throws a kick which was caught before he stuns Yusuke with a Dragon Whip! After kicking him out of the ring with a Standing Dropkick, Renton bounces off the ropes and goes for a Suicide Dive on Yusuke. The Chimeras however manages to push Yusuke away, eating the Suicide Dive instead! Once Renton gets up, Yusuke kicks him to the gut and DDT'ed him face first onto the floor!

(1,2,...

The referee counts, "1,2,..." Yusuke kicks out.
Once the two gets up, Renton dodges a Clothesline by Yusuke before knocking him with a Pele Kick and with Yusuke on the corner, Renton went to the other corner before squashing him with a Stinger Splash followed by an One Handed Bulldog! He then climbs to the top turnbuckle and sets for the Spiral Tap, but as the Chimeras tried to stop him, Renton's teammates manages to avoid them from doing so. As he goes for the Spiral Tap, Yusuke manages to roll himself away, sending Renton crash and burn onto the mat instead. While both teams brawled outside the ring and with Yusuke getting up on the ropes, Renton, after getting himself up, goes to Clothesline Yusuke out of the ring only to get Back Body Dropped crashing onto his teammates!
"Renton's team has tumbled down at the hands of the CWA World Champion!" Taisuke reacted.
After his teammates threw Renton back into the ring, Yusuke lifts him up and goes for a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam, but Renton slips away instead. Once Yusuke turns around, he catches a kick by Renton and avoided the Dragon Whip before planting him down with a Wheelbarrow Suplex!

"Here's your winner, Yusuke Urameshi!" Yui announced as the crowd boos.
"Things are now even in 3 days as both teams had 3 members for the upcoming 6 Way Match!" Taisuke reacted
"And now things an now uneven for Renton as the Chimeras are going to turn him into sliced meat!" Klein pointed as the Chimeras are in the ring with a lying Renton. As they are ready to beat him down...
... Iori Hida enters the ring and whacks the Spirit Detectives with a Baseball Bat until Seiji and Oga gangs up on him. The two then retreated as Amata, Taichi and Takato enters the ring to save Iori.
"Good thing Iori got saved by his friends, otherwise he won't made it to the PPV." Hayato said.
"This isn't the last time we'll see them tonight as both Iori and Masaru along with their teams will be in action later on tonight." Wataru reminded.
(Backstage)
We can see the AWF Womens Champion Ruki Makino in the same scene with Misaka Mikoto and Revy.
"... out of all the teammates I could have, I have to work together with you girls tonight?" Ruki questioned.
"It's our GM's f-king orders, and you just stole my line you punk." Revy responded.
"Look, I knew we had our own egos, but look at the bright side. At least we're teaming up in a Handicap Match tonight." Misaka reminded.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're right Misaka. Thanks to Revy for destroying Taiga last week, we got 2 easy pickings for tonight, and those pickings are none other than Hikari and Nanoha." Ruki said.
"If you tried to ruin my fun of destroying them tonight, I'll f-king kill you." Revy warned.
"You and what army Revy? I got Asuka to watch my back so there's no way you'll be able to kill me." Ruki asked.
"I don't f-king care. Screw things up or you're dead." Revy replied before leaving the scene while Ruki turns to Misaka.
"Maybe we're teammates tonight, but remember this: In 3 days, I will be the one to dethrone you from your crown. Have fun keeping that belt warm before I'm going to get it in 3 days." Misaka reminded before leaving Ruki.

Congratulations on your victories my dear Gundam Meisters. For archiving an overkill, we would like to reward you with something super special!" Hirokazu offered.
"We worked on this special gift for you for days. As a matter of fact, we arrived in Richmond before everyone else all just to make this surprise we had in store for you two once you are in this arena." Kenta explained.
"And now without any further ado, here's your victory present, from yours truly!" Hirokazu shouted until...
... multiple slime balloons rained upon the Celestrial Being, forcing the duo to retreat while covered in slime.
"An air strike for the Heavens! That is if God is a practical joker!" Wataru cheered.
"This is sick! They're mocking a warfare with these Slime Balloons! The CB are soldiers damnit! Respect them!" Klein defended.
"Guess what you two? You want a war? We'll give one for you! In 10 days, your mission will be nothing more than a failure at the hands of the World's Greatest Tag Team Champions of the World!" Kenta stated.
"Believe it!" Hirokazu shouted before heading backstage.

"This match is set for one fall! Introducing first, both from Shinjuku, Japan, they are your current AWF Tag Team Champions, the team of Hirokazu Shiota and Kenta Kitagawa, Team HeroKazu!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers. "And their opponents, the team of Rock and Dutch, the Black Lagoon Inc!" she announced as the crowd boos.
"72 hours before their Tag Team title defense and a week after their Air Strike on the Celestrial Being, these two are going to face these two tough guys in Rock and Dutch." Taisuke said.
"If the Black Lagoon managed to kick their asses tonight, then there's no way they are prepared to face the wrath of the Celestrial Being in 3 days." Klein continued.
(Bell Rings)
Hirokazu and Rock starts first. The two circled around the ring until Hirokazu goes for a Double Leg Takedown only to have Rock moving out of the way before grabbing Hirokazu from behind and puts him on a Waist Lock. After elbow tackling Rock's face several times to break himself free, Hirokazu puts him on a Side Headlock until both of them are near the ropes and Rock pushes Hirokazu away. He then catches a kick by Rock before planting him down with a Dragon Screw and after Rock rolled himself out of the ring, Hirokazu tags himself to Kenta, allowing Kenta to knock Rock down with a Seated Senton off the ring apron!
"Team HeroKazu's on a roll... for now at least. Wait until Rock tags himself to Dutch." Taisuke observed.
After Kenta throws Rock back into the ring, he nailed him with a Slingshot Senton before going for the pin. (1,2,... Rock kicks out) He then picks Rock up only to get several punches to the gut before Uppercutting him away and after Rock bounces off the ropes, Kenta lays himself down and let Rock to jump through him before getting up and goes for a Standing Dropkick.

"The champs are exploding! They are too fast for the Black Lagoon to handle!" Hayato pointed.

After dragging him to the corner, Hirokazu climbed to the top turnbuckle and nails Dutch with the Best Moonsault Ever before doing another for good measures and goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,3!"
"Here's your winner, Team HeroKazu!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"And the Tag Champs picked up the victory, 72 hours before the PPV." Hayato said.
"If these two can beat Black Lagoon, I'm sure there will be no problem for them to beat the Celestrial Being." Wataru assured. As Team HeroKazu were celebrating...
"They're here! The Celestrial Being are here to seek and destroy!" Klein reacted as the Celestrial Being appeared from under the ring and ambushed Team HeroKazu!
"After what happened last week, I can't blame them for destroying these so called 'Heroes'." Taisuke said while the CB are beating Team HeroKazu down. Setsuna and Lockon then respectively lifted Hirokazu and Kenta up and plants them down with their respective finishers! (Wasteland and White Noise) Lockon then leaves the ring and grabs a mic from the time keeper's booth.
"Guess what? Last week you showed us an Air Strike. Well here's something that we just showed to both of you, and that is what we called a 'Guerrilla Attack'. Oh and by the way, we are not finished yet." Lockon said before Setsuna knocks Kenta out with the Exia Blade (Bullhammer)! Lockon then enters the ring and knocks Hirokazu out with the Brouge Kick!
"Now that's how you make a statement: Knock your opponents tooth out before executing them in 3 days." Klein praised.
"If this happened again this Sunday, Team HeroKazu's reign of fun with those belts will end and the CB's mission will be accomplished." Taisuke reminded.
(Backstage)
We can see Hikari Yagami warming up with Nanoha Takamachi.
"Looks like tonight's going to be a rough night..." Hikari said.
"No kidding. Thanks to Revy for destroying Taiga, we're one partner down and completely handicapped for tonight." Nanoha replied.
"And we can't rely on Izumi or Sakura to be our third partner as well since Ruki and Misaka might have Asuka and Shana on their backs... in other words, we're handicapped 4 to 5." Hikari said.
"Welp... we're screwed..." Nanoha responded.
"Still, I'm sure we are able to beat them despite this handicap because let's face it, our opponents egos may cause them to lose tonight." Hikari hoped.
"Good point. And..."
"Hikari?"
Takeru Takaishi appeared on the scene.
"Well, see you later in a few minutes." Nanoha said before leaving the two alone.
"Later Nanoha." Hikari replied before turning to Takeru. "Is there anything you want from me Takeru?" she asked.
"I was just wondering, did you blame yourself for my defeat last week?" Takeru asked.
"Of course not. Why are you asking things like that?" Hikari questioned.
"Well, I thought you considered yourself to be a bad luck charm for me since you were there when I lost to Junpei." Takeru explained.
"Me? Your bad luck charm? Silly Takeru, your defeat last week has nothing to do with me. You lost after giving all that you got, that's all." Hikari replied.
"If that's the case... never mind. Maybe I'm worried too much." Takeru said.
"No need to worry about me Takeru. But still, thanks for your concern." Hikari thanked. "And by the way, can I accompany you to the ring again? I want to be your valet before my title match in 3 days." she asked.
"Why not. As long as you didn't get beaten down of course." Takeru answered. "And don't tell me you want to accompany me simply because Daisuke got his own companions tonight?" he guessed.
"Sort of. I want to cheer for you just like how Daisuke's new friends are cheering for him." Hikari replied. "By the way, what do you think of Daisuke right now? We haven't crossed paths with him for a long time." she asked.
"Well... for once I'm kinda glad that he found a new direction in his life. And thanks to that direction, he's no longer a stalker, kidnapper or anything bad to any one of us. That's all I have to say regarding Daisuke right now." Takeru answered.
"Same here. Now I don't have to worry about him anyone since he's pretty much busy with his new friends." Hikari said. "Well, I'm heading to the ring now. Wish me luck Takeru." she wished before leaving Takeru.
"Good luck Hikari, and don't get yourself destroyed!" Takeru cheered.
"Handicap action is up next folks! Stay tuned!" Taisuke announced.

"This is a 3 on 2 Handicap Match set for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Revy, Misaka Mikoto and the AWF Womens Champion, Ruki Makino!" Yui announced as the crowd boos. On the stage, the three looked at each other before Ruki, Misaka and Revy took turns walking to the ring alone.
"Their egos are so huge that they even refused to enter the ring together." Wataru pointed.
"Egos asides, these three are the closest thing to a Power Trio that could wreck anything in their path, even if Misaka is the least destructive out of the three." Taisuke observed.
(LoveFuryPassionEnergy by Boy Hits Car Plays)
"And their opponents, the team of Nanoha Takamachi and Hikari Yagami!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.

"Thanks for saving us back there Iori. We were getting closer to being destroyed without you." Renton thanked.
"You're welcome Renton. Although we can't take a break just yet." Iori replied.
"Because the Chimeras may strike again tonight?"
Iori and his team turns around... and saw the Shounen Knights members.
"That is correct Tsuna. Since we're teaming up against Shinji and Masaru, I'm expecting the Chimeras and the RR to try and destroy us before the PPV." Iori responded.
"No worries. Since we got an extra member compared to them, we won't get our butts beaten down." Tsuna assured.
"Still, why did I have this feeling that something's bad is going to happen after our match?" Negi wondered.
"What do you mean by that?" Takato asked.
"Well, I have a feeling that something's bad will happen, and maybe that thing won't be involved in our wars, but it might change the course of everything here." Negi explained.
"You're thinking too much Negi. What could possibly go wrong when we got an advantage?" Toriko questioned.
"The big guy's right. Nothing to be worried about as long as we're looking on each other's backs." Taichi said.
"Alright. Enough with the conspiracy theories and let's focus on the Main Event." Iori called. "Let's form an Alliance for tonight shall we Tsuna?" he offered.
"Sure thing Iori." Tsuna replied before the two shake hands.
"Now we're an unstoppable unit! Speaking of unit, I wonder what's going on with the Chimeras and the RR right now?" Amata wondered.
"Considering their egos, maybe they're wrecking each other's locker rooms by now." Edward replied.
"Now let's go. Time to prepare ourselves for the main event." Iori called as the two groups left the scene.

"Till this day I'm glad to help Kirito out to archive his goal. Maybe I'm unable to help him tonight, but at the very least I'll cheer for him." Klein bragged.
(Real Rock 'n' Rolla by Eigenkreation Plays)
"And his opponent, accompanied by Team Accel Online, he is the current AWF Japanese Champion, Kirigaya Kazuto!" Yui announced as the crowd boos.
"Even with Haru and Asuna to accompany him, it won't help him as Kirito has to face Domon alone inside the Steel Cage with the only way to win is by pinfall, submission or escape." Wataru reminded.
"Never underestimate Kirito guys. He defeated Domon fair and square 5 weeks ago and he can do that again tonight, Steel Cage or not." Klein reminded.

Once Lionsault onto Domon later, Kirito goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Domon kicks out.

Once the two gets up, Domon goes for another German Suplex, but Kirito tries to escape by elbow tackling him to the face, forcing Domon no choice but to push Kirito onto the ropes and goes for a Roll Up Pin. (1,2,... Kirito kicks out) He then knocks Kirito down with a Double Leg Takedown before grabbing his legs and after stomping on him several times, Catapults Kirito towards the steel cage. Kirito however manages to stick himself on the steel cage before starting to climb it!
"Kirito's going for an escape, and thanks to Domon, he's getting closer from reaching the top!" Klein reacted.
"Domon's not going to let Kirito running away like a coward! He's on the top rope!" Wataru pointed. After several punches onto Kirito's back, Domon catches him before lifting him up...
... and Powerbombs him off the ropes!
"Powerbomb off the ropes! Domon may have shattered Kirito's back with that one!" Hayato reacted.
"Maybe it's not shattered, but that would be enough for Domon to beat Kirito!" Wataru said as Domon goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Kirito kicks out!
"Not even a move like a Powerbomb off the ropes would end Kirito's game! He's determined to retain the belt!" Klein reacted.
"Domon's not going to use the door! He's going to pin or make Kirito tap out! He wants that title back fair and square!" Wataru observed.
After lifting Kirito up, Domon sets for the Sekiha Tenkyoken (F-5) only to get his eyes raked, allowing Kirito to escape before from behind pushes him face first onto the steel cage!

Despite being in pain, Domon manages to slowly crawl to the door and orders the referee to open it!
"Knowing that Rope Breaks are non-existent, Domon's going to crawl himself out of the ring to break the hold!" Hayato pointed.
"No! Pull him away Kirito! Pull him away!" Klein shouted.
Before the door could even be opened, Kirito manages to drag Domon away before going for another Walls of Jericho only to get himself kicked away to the corner! After getting himself up, Domon charges towards Kirito only to get a Drop Toe Hold face first onto the corner before Kirito slowly crawled towards the door!
"Come on Kirito! You're getting closer to victory!" Klein cheered. As Kirito's getting closer to the door...
... Domon recovered and puts him on an Ankle Lock!
"Now that's a way to stop someone from retreating! Domon's going to break Kirito's ankle if he keeps on trying to escape!" Wataru reacted.
Domon tried to pull Kirito away from the doors, but Haruyuki grabbed Kirito's hand and tried to pull him out of the cage. While the two are using Kirito to play Tug Of War, Asuna from the other side climbs the cage!
"Asuna's losing her mind here as she tried to save her boyfriend from Domon's wrath!" Wataru pointed.
"Now that's a good girlfriend, helping her boyfriend out to archive victory and slay the opponent!" Klein cheered.
While Asuna slowly climbing down the cage, Domon manages to pull Kirito away from the ropes and puts him on a One Legged Boston Crab until Asuna attacked Domon. Domon however manages to lift Asuna on his shoulder before driving her back first onto the cage!
"That's despicable! How could a man like Domon hurt a girl like Asuna?!" Klein complained in disgust.
"Asuna deserved it! That's for stupidly trying to enter the ring and confront the King of Hearts! In fact, Domon's doesn't give a damn whether it's a man or a woman!" Wataru defended.
"Looks like it's time to say goodbye to Mother's Rosario because Asuna's game will be over at the hands of Domon!" Hayato pointed as Domon lifts Asuna up and sets for the Sekiha Tenkyoken...
... only to get a Low Blow from behind by Kirito!
"Thank God! A loyal boyfriend always comes in for the save!" Klein cheered.
After comforting the frightened Asuna, Kirito grabs Domon and plants him down with The Eclipse (Bloody Sunday)! With Domon down and out, Kirito and Asuna hold each others hands before leaving the cage together.
"Here's your winner and STILL your AWF Japanese Champion, Kirigaya Kazuto!" Yui announced as the crowd boos.
"With the lovely Asuna as his girlfriend, Kirito has retained the belt and his game is not over yet!" Klein cheered.
"This is the 3rd straight time Domon has lost to Kirito, and we're know what that means. Domon is out of the title picture for a while!" Taisuke reminded.
"Indeed! And now let's witness the Celebration of Team Accel Online. Boo them all you want, it doesn't matter! They are more successful than you!" Klein pointed as Haruyuki carried both Kirito and Asuna on his shoulders to the stage while Kirito raised the title belt to the air.

We can see Daisuke Motomiya entering the room before seeing... a Teddy Bear being left on the floor? He then went towards it, picks it up and recognized it, "Have we met each other before?"
"Of course!"
Daisuke then turns around... and saw Chikaru and her friends.
"Surprise!"
"Woah! You guys really caught me off guard." Daisuke reacted. "What brings you girls here anyway?" he asked.
"Since the Class President can't cheer you up after your second defeat last week, she had decided to call us here to help her out." Remon explained.
"Looks like our surprise managed to cheer you up a bit." Kizuna said.
"Yeah, of course it did." Daisuke replied. "As a matter of fact, you girls being here already cheered me up. Who know that you girls would care about me that much?" he continued.
"We're your friends Daisuke, of course we're here and care about you." Chikaru reminded.
"We're also here to watch you facing your old rival tonight." Remon explained
"And to keep you focused, we've decided to turn your frown upside down. We can't have our friend entering the ring with a frown." Kizuna continued.
"Well I'm... touched. Thanks girls... that's why I'm glad to have you girls as my new friends." Daisuke thanked.
"No problems Daisuke. That's what friends are for." Chikaru replied.
"Still, do you think that I can win tonight? I'm facing a rival of mine whom I rarely beat fair and square." Daisuke questioned.
"Of course you can!" Kizuna answered
"After all, he's facing a new and improved Daisuke. A Daisuke that he haven't faced yet." Remon reminded.
"Good point. After all, this is the first time I'll face Takeru in this new life." Daisuke replied. "But what if I lose and turned into a bigger trainwreck?" he asked.
"Percival thinks that he'll leave you if you became a trainwreck." Kagome said.
"I'm with Percival. Turn into a trainwreck or will abandon you for good." Chikaru warned.
"... you're not joking right?" Daisuke questioned.
"Just kidding. Even if you turned into a train wreck, we'll try our best to clean you up and start all over again." Chikaru replied.
"Thank God. For once I'm scared of you girls." Daisuke said.
"By the way Class President, if Daisuke wins, can you treat us to dinner tonight?" Remon asked.
"Well, alright then." Chikaru answered.
"But if Daisuke loses, he'll treat us to dinner right?" Kizuna asked as Chikaru nods.
"And with that, I'm more determined to not lose tonight's match." Daisuke said. "Let's go girls. Time to see who will win the battle between two rivals and who will treat you girls to dinner." he called before he and the girls except for Chikaru left the scene.
"Hold on Daisuke! I forgot to tell you something!" Chikaru called.
"You girls go ahead." Daisuke said before going back to Chikaru. "Anything wrong?" he asked.
"I want you to dress yourself to this." Chikaru replied before showing a bag which contains Daisuke's special clothes.
"You kidding? I thought that was exclusively for Pay Per Views?" Daisuke questioned.
"This is an exception though since you're facing Takeru one more time. Not to mention that I doubt you'll have all the time to pull that special entrance on the Rumble Match." Chikaru answered.
"Well.. alright. I'll wear that clothes. Just go ahead and follow your friends. I'll be right there once I changed my clothes." Daisuke ordered.
"Got it Daisuke. See ya!" Chikaru replied before leaving Daisuke. Daisuke then looked at the clothes before saying, "An emo with 4 girls... lucky me."
"The battle between two rivals are up next folks! Whoever wins gets a higher number on the Royal Rumble Match! Stay tuned!" Wataru announced.

"For years Daisuke has never beaten Takeru fair and square, and tonight will be Daisuke's only chance as a victory for tonight will put him on the 15th spot in the Rumble Match." Hayato explained.
"But if Takeru wins, he'll move on to face Ash Ketchum in 3 days for the 22 spot in the Rumble. This match is a 'Do or Die' situation for both of these men." Wataru continued.
"Daisuke, accompanied by Chikaru, takes on Takeru, accompanied by Hikari. Who shall win the clash between the two rivals where the winner gets a higher number for the Rumble Match?!" Taisuke questioned.
"Oh goody some of Chikaru's friends are sitting next to us. Looks like Daisuke wants a fair fight after all." Klein pointed.

In the ring we can see Daisuke happily celebrating his victory with Chikaru and her friends who are also happy with his victory.
"Enjoy the celebration with the girls Daisuke! You deserve it! A hell of a fair fight you have shown in that ring!" Wataru praised.
After the celebration, Daisuke turned himself to Takeru who's currently being assisted by Hikari to get himself up. The two rivals looked at each other...
... until Daisuke and the girls leave the ring.
"Looks like Daisuke wants neither to attack Takeru or shake hands with him. He's staying neutral folks." Taisuke pointed.
"And the best part, thanks to Chikaru and her friends, Daisuke's no longer obsessed with Hikari despite seeing her next to Takeru! Good job on changing him girls!" Wataru cheered.
"So it's settled. Takeru will enter the Rumble at No 8 while Daisuke shall enter at No 15." Hayato reminded.

We can see the Rookie Revolution and the Chimeras confronting each other.
"So... I have to team up with a member of a so called Revolutionist group? And said member happened to be one of the most emo guys any company could get? You kidding me?" Masaru questioned.
"Look, even we, the RR, didn't want to team up with a small name gang like your Masaru." Taiki responded. "But let me remind you this. Tonight, you're teaming up with Shinji for a common goal, and that goal is to destroy Tsuna and Iori. So let's team up for tonight only shall we?" he offered.
"Forget it Taiki. Masaru and his group has egos the size of the Oceania continent. I doubt that they'll take your offer." Zenjirou said.
"We do have our own ego, but that doesn't mean that we won't team up with any other group as long as we had common goals." Masaru replied before turning to Taiki. "Fine, we'll work with you guys for tonight only. After this, we're permitted to destroy you guys to a bloody plump." he responded.
"Do whatever you want after this match is over dude, I don't care as long as we'll get to destroy Tsuna and Iori tonight." Taiki said.
"So... can we beat you guys up after the match?" Yusuke asked.
"I'll like to see you try." Zenjirou answered.
"Against a bunch of kids? You guys are easy pickings for us." Kuwabara said.
"Guys, please, save your energy because we got a main event to be in. Let's go." Taiki called.
"You heard the Gogglehead, let's go." Masaru called as well before the alliance leaves the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen this Sunday will be the night that will kick off the Road to Anime Mania, the Anime Rumble PPV. And now let's run down the card." Taisuke reminded.
"First match on the card it's ladies first as the AWF Divas Championship will be on the line as Taiga Aisaka defends it against Revy." Hayato announced.
"Two weeks ago Taiga has finally met her match after Revy defeated her as badly as possible. Will history repeat itself in 3 days, thus crowning a new champion in the process?" Klein questioned.
"Next match will be for the Tag Team Championship as Team HeroKazu enters the war against the Celestrial Being." Taisuke announced.
"Celestrial Being may won the fight, but the war is not over as long as the titles are still in Team HeroKazu's hands. Will the fun continues or will warfare destroy it?" Wataru questioned.
"For the third match, it's 4 girls for their selves as Ruki Makino defends her Womens Championship against Hikari Yagami, Nanoha Takamachi and Misaka Mikoto!" Klein announced.
"4 girls, 4 different agendas, but only 1 shall leave as the Womens Champion. Will the RR Alpha Female retain or will her reign of terror are put to an end?" Hayato questioned.
"4th match will be Hardcore as Iori Hida, together with Amata Sora and Taichi Yaegashi, takes on Masaru Daimon, Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara is a 6 Way Match for the Extreme Championship!" Wataru announced.
"With both teams having an equal number of members, anyone can win the title in this type of match. Will Masaru retain, or will his friends score the belt, or will Iori or his friends dethrone him?" Taisuke questioned.
"And then, the World Title is hanging in the balance as Sawada Tsunayoshi defends it against the chosen member of the Rookie Revolution of all people, Shinji Ikari." Klein announced.
"Tsuna defeated Taiki 4 weeks ago and he might be able to beat Shinji in 3 days. But will Shinji pull a surprise and win the title in a shocking fashion?" Taisuke questioned.
"And last but not least, the Main Event itself, the 30 Match Royal Rumble Match where the winner shall Headline Anime Mania!" Wataru announced.
"Only one of these 30 men shall advance to Anime Mania, but after those series of matches we had seen, I had a feeling that Junpei Shibayama might pick up the win after entering at No 29." Taisuke guessed.
"And let's not forget that Ash Ketchum will enter on No 22 while the Japanese Champion Kirigaya Kirito shall enter the number at any number between 16 to 30!" Klein reminded.
"And let's also not forget that Daisuke Motomiya will enter on No 15, Takeru Takaishi on No 8, Domon will enter at any number between 2 to 15 and Simon the Digger shall start the match from No 1." Hayato continued.
"AWF Anime Rumble will be Live, this Sunday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, home of the Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle and the city that shall crown the headliner for Anime Mania 3! " Wataru finished.

"Ladies and gentlemen I've just been informed by our General Manager that this match will be a Lumberjack Match!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.

"The hell? Who turned off the lights?" Taisuke questioned. The darkness continues for a while...
... until the lights turned on, revealing... several bloody corpses?
"What the? What are those bodies?" Wataru questioned as everyone were confused with what's going on. Then the lights went off again...

A/N: Now things has truly picked up! Who the hell is the one who put those corpses in the ring? Well, whoever it is, Junpei would have a challenge waiting for him at the PPV...
And now, it's time to kick start the Road to Anime Mania as the Anime Rumble PPV will be next! Lots of questions include:
1. Can Tomoki prove himself that he's not weak against Takuya?
2. Will Revy win the title and put the Palmtop Tiger into extinction?
3. Will Team HeroKazu survive the war between them and War Specialists Celestrial Being?
4. Will Ruki defend her title and keep it in the hands of the RR? Or will any three of her opponents dethrone her?
5. Which team shall walk away with the Extreme Title? Team Renton or the Chimeras?
6. Will Shinji pull a shocker against Tsuna for the RR?
7. And the biggest of them all, Who will win the Rumble and Headline Anime Mania?
8. And almost forgot, who shall debut in AWF... and who's the mystery No 30 guy?
The next chapter will be uploaded soon since the Pre-Show only had one match. For the main show... I might spend a week with the title matches and another week for the Rumble Match. AKA, I'll finish the PPV before 2015 starts.
Until then, please review!
