4. Monday Night Flame Week 2 Part 1

Universal Character Association: Week 2

---

("Headstrong" by Trapt plays over the loudspeakers)

Red, blue, gold, and white pyro suddenly shoots out all over the stage before exploding on the sides of the Titantron, and then just going left and right on the stage like a machine gun for a few seconds before one final blast out of pyro shot out of the stage. The light came on immediately in the arena, and the crowd immediately cheered out loudly, anxiously anticipating the show that was about to happen. Signs were held up by the fans such as "Welcome Back, Sonic!" and "Red Rules the Rumble!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to UCA Monday Night Flame!" Church shouted. "We're live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California! I'm the always sarcastic Blue commentator, Church!"

"And I am the superior, more handsome Red commentator, Sarge!" Sarge exclaimed. ""Last week was Title Night in Madison Square Garden, and what an epic night that was, even if some of the outcomes were absolutely crap!"

"Yes indeed, last week was one hell of a show!" Church agreed. "I mean, the praise for that show was off the charts! People have been telling us just how awesome they thought UCA was last week! It was one of our highest rated shows ever! UCA made itself known last week, and we're just getting started here!"

"For once, I can agree with you, Blue!" Sarge stated. "We got ourselves a Six-Man Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal, a non-title rematch from Ragnarok, and a Triple Threat to decide the No. 1 and No. 30 entrants in the Royal Rumble! Holy tamoli, isn't tonight just epic or what?!"

"You got that right, and not only that, but last week we had the shocking and epic return of Sonic the Hedgehog!" Church stated. "And not only that, but he will be challenging Mario for the World Title in a Last Man Standing Match of all things at Royal Reckoning! Just unreal!"

"That still isn't right, in my opinion!" Sarge stated. "Mario should not have to deal with this injustice at all! A travesty! Mark my words, Mario will have something to say about this!"

("Holy Diver" by Killswitch Engage)

"Speak of the devil..." Church said.

The crowd showered the arena in thunderous boos as Mario came out onto the stage, the World Title on his shoulder and an incensed look on his face. He stomped his way down the ring, waving off the booing fans with a scoff. He walked up the steel steps and entered the ring, raising his World Title above his head for all to see, before taking a hand and flipping off the booing fans, angering them even further.

"Speak of him, and he shall appear." Church said. "Mario had one bad night last week. Not only did he and Luigi lose the Tag Team titles to Tails and Knuckles, but his eternal rival, Sonic the Hedgehog, returned to UCA and will be challenging him at Royal Reckoning! And it won't be a regular match, no it will be Last Man Standing!"

"And all that was just wrong, like Blues gaining an advantage over the Reds!" Sarge screamed. "Mario and his brother were screwed out of their titles and what's worse, Sonic was given a title shot without Mario even knowing he was going to be back, and is put in a brutal match with him! A proud Red like him shouldn't be treated like this!"

"Boohoo, cry me a river, Mario has had this coming to him for a long time." Church reiterated. "Unfortunately, my money is on Mario flat out protesting this...right about now."

Mario held a microphone in his hand as he held the World Title over his shoulder, anger practically oozing rage as he spoke. "Last week was supposed to be a night of celebration, a night of triumph after I successfully defended my World Title at Ragnarok. Instead, it turned into a night where every wrong imaginable was done to me! First off, let's start off with the fact that me and Luigi were forced to defend our Tag Titles! Not only we were put into a title defense on such short notice without much time to prepare, but we were forced to defend against Tails and Knuckles of all people!" Mario just shook his head in disbelief. "I already beat those two at Ragnarok to retain my World Title! I proved myself superior to them, I shouldn't have had to face them both again the next night, especially for the Tag Titles! They didn't deserve a chance at those titles, hell, they didn't deserve to be in the same ring with me after I defeated both of them!"

The crowd boos and begins to chant "Mario Sucks! Mario Sucks! Mario sucks!" as Mario continued angrily. "And then there was happened in the match...I had Tails and Knuckles beaten! I had Knuckles set up for the Super Mario Splash, and was going to hit! I had those two beat CLEAN, STRAIGHT-UP! But then the music of that blasted hedgehog rang out! That infernal music distracted me, it took my damn attention, and Tails and Knuckles, like the cowards they are, attacked me from behind and stole the Tag Titles from us! Me and Luigi were goddamn screwed!"

"Your damn Toady distracted Knuckles first, and you took advantage of it!" Church shouted. "You were going to screw Tails and Knuckles first, you son of a bitch!"

"And then there was the greatest wrong of them all." Mario breathed out in barely contained rage. "Without me even knowing, without me being even informed of it, that blasted, infernal, meddlesome hedgehog, SONIC, returned out of the blue!" The crowd cheered loudly at this and started to chant "Sonic! Sonic! Sonic!" "Not only was I not informed, Sonic should never have returned in the first place! His career should be dead, he should be retired, he should be done for after what I did to him! And on top of that, he's named the No. 1 Contender for my World Title?! Mamma mia, that is not right at all! Sonic does not deserve a title shot one damn bit, he has no right to one! He should be stuck in the mid-card where he damn belongs! He does not deserve to face me after the amount of times I've beaten him! And the greatest wrong of all? The match was made Last Man Standing! How dare Force even make such a match! You do not put the World Champion, your biggest star in this company, in such a brutal, vicious match, where he could possibly be injured! You do not put me in such a dangerous match against such an unworthy challenger! All that happened to me last week was a travesty! And I demand it be righted!"

Maroio turned towards the stage. "Force, as your World Heavyweight Champion and face of UCA, I demand you give me and Luigi a rematch for the Tag Titles tonight! And what's more, I DEMAND YOU REVOKE THE WORLD TITLE MATCH AT ROYAL RECKONING! I DEMAND THAT YOU RIGHT THE WRONGS!" The crowds sounds off with thunderous boos and begins to chant "No! No! No!"

"He can't be serious, can he?!" Church exclaimed. "Does he really expect Force to actually renounce the World Title match at Royal Reckoning?!"

"It's the right thing to do, cupcake!" Sarge replied. "Mario's our World Champion and a proud Red, and you shouldn't tread a red like him so badly! Revoking the World Title match is the right thing to do! No one wants to see the match!"

"You must be brain dead, because EVERYONE wants to see it!" Church retorted. "I don't know what planet you're living on!"

("Boom" by P.O.D.)

The crowd cheered loudly as Force the Fox came out onto the stage with a mic in hand, a look of disbelief on his face as he looked at Mario from the stage. He proceeded to walk down the ramp and entered the ring, facing off with Mario in the ring.

"It's the boss, and I have a hunch that Force ain't going to do things Mario's way." Church stated.

"Aha, thanks for proving me right, because since you're a Blue, you're always wrong!" Sarge exclaimed. "Meaning that Force will obviously listen to Mario and do things his way!"

"You have seriously messed up logic, Sarge." Church shook his head.

Force continued to look at Mario disbelievingly as he held the mic to his lips. "Mario, what you just demanded...you can't be serious."

"Oh, I am serious." Mario smirked. "And if you know what's good for your company, you will do as I have demanded. It's for the best!"

"Wow, even for you, this is ridiculous." Force stated, earning a frown from Mario. "Where to start? How about with the Tag Titles? Listen good Mario...you WILL NOT get a rematch for the Tag Titles!"

The crowd cheered loudly as a look of anger spread across Mario's face. "You can't be serious!" He yelled. "You can't do this! Me and Luigi have a rematch clause! We are entitled to a rematch! If you don't give us what we..."

"Woah, hold on there, Mario, hold off the rant!" Force stated, holding his hand up to calm him down. "You should have let me finished, man. YOU won't be getting a rematch...but your brother Luigi will." The crowd and Mario looked at Force in confusion. "I know you and Luigi have a rematch clause, and I respect and acknowledge that, but I'm the boss, so I can change that clause around a bit as I want, and when you were one half of the champs, the titles and the Tag Team Division were completely pushed aside. I didn't want that quite frankly, but unfortunately, you and your World Title overshadowed the Tag Titles, and were rarely defended. You couldn't handle the duties of holding both titles and give both equal spotlight, and one division suffered as a result, and I can't allow that again. So here's the deal Mario, at Royal Reckoning, the rematch clause will be used and Luigi will challenge Tails and Knuckles for the titles with a partner of his choosing! That's my final word on the matter, take it or leave it."

"Wow, we have another match made for Royal Reckoning!" Church stated. "Tails and Knuckles defend their newly won titles against Luigi and a partner of his choosing!"

"Dammit, I can't believe Mario won't get his shot at the titles he was screwed out!" Sarge exclaimed. "Gah, no matter, his brother will come through with him! He'll put those damn anthros in their place because he's the brother of the great Mario!"

Mario stayed silent for a second before speaking. "Fine, Luigi will choose the best partner imaginable and beat those two and bring the titles back to the Kingdom! But there is still something that must be righted, something that must be done! You must renounce that Last Man Standing Match for my World Title! I do not deserve to be put in such a brutal match, especially against Sonic! Do the right thing, Force!"

Force just sighed and scratched the back of his head before speaking again. "Mario...there is no way in hell I am cancelling the match." The crowd cheered loudly as Mario looked enraged. "Believe it or not, Sonic actually deserves this match. He deserves it as well as the title shot after you and the Mushroom Kingdom screwed him out of the title when he cashed in Money in the Bank, and proceeded to injure his leg, taking him out for six months! He deserves a chance at payback and a shot at the title after what you did to him! And to be quite honest, you need this match, Mario."

"Tch, as if." Mario scoffed. "I don't need this match at all. I've been World Champion for nearly a year, I've beaten every challenger that's come my way, I have become the face of UCA! I'm the greatest champion ever, of all time! There is nothing for me to prove anymore!"

"YOU HAVE MORE TO PROVE THAN YOU REALIZE!" Force shouted, taking back Mario. "You want to know why people don't think you're the greatest champion ever? You want to know why no one even thinks all you said about yourself is true? It's because for the past freakin' year, you have cheated your way out of every title match you've been in to escape with that World Title! You used every dirty tactic in the book: low blows, rake to the eyes, distractions, illegal chair shots, DQs, and interference from the Mushroom Kingdom, in every match so you can walk out as champion! That doesn't prove your a great champion, that just shows you are nothing but a cheater and a coward that can't win straight-up! That's what everyone thinks of you Mario! But let me tell you something, that all comes to an end, Mario, because at Royal Reckoning, during your match with Sonic, the Mushroom Kingdom is banned from ringside!"

The crowd went wild as Mario's eyes widened to the fullest. "WHAT?!" Mario screamed. "You can't do that! That's not right at all! You can't ban them..."

"And why?" Force asked. "Because without them, you can't win?" Mario remained silent as he looked in shock. "That's the problem, Mario, that's why no one thinks your a great champion, because you can't win on your own, you can't win fairly. You need the Mushroom Kingdom to interfere so you can win, you need to cheat to escape with the title! You want to prove your the greatest champion of all time? You want to prove your the best this company has to offer? You go to Royal Reckoning, you face Sonic, and you beat him straight-up, you beat him clean, you be the Last Man Standing in that ring, with no Mushroom Kingdom interfering! You show to everybody that you are what you say you are, and not some phony, not some shell of who you once were! Beat Sonic in Last Man Standing, and you prove that you could possibly be the greatest champion ever!"

Mario remained silent as he looked down at the ground. "You know what, I'll even sweeten the deal." Force stated. "If you beat Sonic under the conditions I have set, then you will have earned the right to name your next challenger after Royal Reckoning. The choice is yours, mate. Go through this match willingly, or resist and have things end like hell for you with everyone thinking your a joke.

Mario remained silent still, clutching the World Title around his shoulder before looking out to the crowd. The crowd booed loudly at Mario's gaze on them as he looked around the arena, deep in thought. Suddenly, he turned back to Force, looked him the eye, and spoke.

"Alright Force, I'll do things your way..." Mario agreed. "If I have to beat Sonic within an inch of his life to get the recognition I deserve, then so be it! At Royal Reckoning, I will be the Last Man Standing, and I will still be the World Champion!"

"Yeah, sure you will..." Force said unconvincingly. "We'll have to wait and see if that's true in the end. But for now, there is tonight to worry about. And I got a very interesting idea for the main event. See, Sonic's back, people." The crowd cheered loudly at that statement. "And man, is he ever itching to get back into action! And considering all that's going on right now, I have the perfect match! Tonight, in the main event, it will be the Mario Bros., versus...Sonic the Hedgehog, and the new Tag Team Champions Tails and Knuckles, the Sonic Heroes! In a 3-on-2 Handicap Match!" Mario's eyes widened to the fullest. "I'd include Toad and make it a Six-Man Tag, but he's kind of preoccupied tonight, so this'll have to do."

The crowd went absolutely bananas as Mario was absolutely livid. "You can't be serious?! That's not fair!" Mario shouted. "I'm the World Champion, I can't be put in such a position! You're out to get me, dammit!"

"Oh trust me, Mario, I'm being as impartial as I can be." Force stated with a smile. "If I was really out to get you, I would do a whole lot worse than this, like Vince McMahon level worse. I suggest you go get ready for your match, if you want to win tonight and gain some momentum. See ya later, Mario."

("Boom" by P.O.D)

Force dropped the mic and exited the ring to a flurry of cheers, the music playing over the loudspeaker. The fox smirked to himself as he walked up the ramp and to backstage, while Mario just looked on in anger at the turn of events that just happened. Eventually, Mario went to the ropes and pounded on them in anger before exiting the ring as well.

"Man, Mario got one hell of a wake-up call if you ask me!" Church stated. "If he ever wants to be even considered the greatest ever, he's got to be a man and face Sonic in Last Man Standing, and beat him straight-up! And with the Mushroom Kingdom banned from ringside, he's got no choice but to do just that!"

"But what's happening tonight is once again screwing Mario!" Sarge exclaimed. "Forced into a handicap match against the Sonic Heroes?! Force is out to screw Mario! Our boss wants to destroy Mario!"

"Hey, trust me, Force can do a lot worse than what he's doing." Church stated. "Mario should consider himself lucky he didn't get worse. At least he's got a partner in that match in Luigi. But regardless, I'm pretty damn sure that match is going to be a good one no doubt about it."

"D'oh, Mario shouldn't be treated in such a way in the first place." Sarge stated. "He's a proud red and our World Champ. He should be respected."

"Like Grif or anyone else respects you?" Church said.

"I hate you, you dirty Blue..." Sarge stated.

The Titantron goes to the backstage scene, where we see Lightning walking down the hallways with her Women's Championship over her shoulder, her stoic look on her face. Suddenly, there was the sound of the giggling, and suddenly a female voice spoke up.

"My, my, Peach, isn't it just disgraceful that someone like her is holding the Women's Title?" Lightning scowled as she turned to the left, and Peach and Daisy walked into the scene, smirking at the champion.

"Of course, Daisy, isn't it obvious?" Peach giggled as well. "I mean, let's face it, this girl is nothing compared to us. She's just a scowling, emotionless, brooding piece of trash who isn't worthy of even touching that title. There's no way she can ever hope to match up with the likes of us, especially me."

"What do you two want?" Lightning asked irritably. "I have more important things to do than stand here and listen to you two prattle like a bunch of inbred idiots."

"Oh my, such harsh words." Daisy chuckled. "We're just here to tell that your time as Women's Champion is running out, because now that Peach is the No. 1 Contender, it's just a matter of time until she beats you and become the champion for the eight time."

"And it's so obvious it will happen." Peach smirked. "I mean, look at you, and then look at me. I'm one of the most recognizable characters of all time, people practically drool at the sight of me. I'm a big reason that the Mario series truly succeeded, along with my lovely Mario, of course. I'm one of the most successful fiction female wrestlers in the business, I've held that title you're holding more times than anyone else in UCA history. I've practically done it all. While you...heh, nobody knows who you are. You haven't done anything noticeable at all, you're just a rookie! A brooding, stoic, ugly girl that can never be as graceful or as amazing as a princess such as me."

Lightning remained silent as she looked at the ground for a thoughtful second before looking up. "At least I can damn sure handle myself and don't need to be rescued all the damn time by a big fat red plumber because I'm so useless."

The crowd "Ooohhh" at the comment while Peach and Daisy looked at the pink-haired woman in rage. "Let me get something straight here you two." Lightning continued. "I don't care if you are part of some great franchise, if you are recognizable. I don't care what you think, and I certainly don't care what these hypocritical fans think of me. Say what you want, but nothing will change the fact you two are just spoiled princesses who's only famous trait is being saved time and time again by Mario and Luigi. You don't even hold a candle to the names that Tifa listed to me last week, while they don't hold a candle to me! It doesn't matter if you're a veteran, you don't stand a chance against me! Now I suggest you get out of here, and get ready to step aside for my inevitable rise before I show you how dangerous I can be."

Peach and Daisy continued to look at the champion in anger, and began to advance on her. Lighting readied herself for a fight before...

"Woah, woah, woah!" Force suddenly jumped into the scene, standing between the women almost instantly. "Back it up, ladies! Back it up! Damn, I'm on my way back to the office and I find a catfight about break out here in these very hallways! Damn, can no one behave themselves around here?"

"Force, this tramp just disrespected me!" Peach exclaimed. "She was practically begging for me to take care of her!"

"You were the one who tried to belittle me in the first place." Lightning said with narrowed eyes. "You need to learn to let go of your glory days, you old hag."

Peach's eyes widened in rage and was about to go after Lighting until Force backed her up. "Hey, hey, I'm not going to have a fight break out here while I'm around. Now, if you all want each other so badly, you all will settle it in the ring."

"Do you mean that..." Peach began anticipatedly.

"No, it will not be your Women's Title Match, Peach." Force stated, earning a frown. "I'm saving that for a more appropriate time when it means much more. But I do have an idea for tonight that will settle all your desires for a fight tonight. Peach and Daisy, tonight..." He turned to Lightning. "...the team of the Women's Champion..." He went up to Lightning and smirked devilishly.

"...and her partner, Tifa Lockheart!"

Lightning's eyes widened in shock before she narrowed her eyes dangerously. "You can't be serious..."

"I may be a sarcastic guy at times, but I never joke with my wrestling decisions." Force replied. "Tifa will be informed of this arrangement, so I suggest you get over it quickly. Now I suggest you all go get ready, or else."

Lightning and the two princesses glared at each other hatefully before they walked away in opposite directions. Once they left, Force just sighed as he scratched the back of his head.

"Damn, there's always something going on around here ready to explode." He remarked.

---

"Wow, that was one hell of an intense situation!" Church exclaimed. "Lightning and the Mushroom Princes had some very choice words, and it looked they were one second away from tearing each other apart! If it weren't for Force that is..."

"Oh come on now, I wanted to see a fight back there!" Sarge stated. "There are a few things better than watching such beautiful women get into a big catfight backstage!"

"I admit I wanted to see it too, but I'm not going to be Tucker and make lame, lewd jokes about it." Church commented "But still, we now got ourselves another match tonight! Lightning and Tifa are forced to team up against Peach and Daisy! After what transpired last week, you can bet your bottom dollar that Lightning and Tifa won't be as smooth as a whistle...hell, even a shovel would be more smooth than those two together!"

"Of course those two aren't going to get along well!" Sarge stated. "Tifa dared to insult the great Lightning! How she will pay for her insolence! She is now a priority enemy of the Reds!"

"And that will effect her...how?" Church questioned.

"Shut up, dirty Blue!" Sarge replied.

("All I Want" by Day To Remember)

The crowd cheered as the music played and moments later, Tidus came out on the stage with his sword in hand, and threw it into the air before jumping in the air, twisting as he did so, and catching the sword in mid-air before landing on the rampway, blue and gold pyro going off on the stage as he did so. He walked down the rampway, holding his sword high in the air before leaping on the apron and entering the ring and throwing his sword in the air, catching it and striking a pose.

"This is the opening contest of the evening,and it is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from the City of Zanarkand, weighing in at 215 lbs., Tidus!"

"Last week, Tidus made his case for another shot at the Cruiserweight Title, however, Force wasn't just going to give him the title match just like that." Church stated. "Tidus says he can beat Toad no doubt, he's got a chance to prove it tonight. Do it, and he will get another title shot at Royal Reckoning."

"What kind of crap is that anyway?!" Sarge stated. "Tidus is a loser, he had his chance, and he choked like Rai does in a World Title match on Animated!" Sarge stated. "He does not deserve to even have a chance to gain another shot! He is not worthy!"

"What, afraid Toad will lose?" Church asked smugly.

"Of course not! Toad will squash this Final Fantasy reject just like at Ragnarok!" Sarge replied.

("I Came to Play" by Downstait)

The cheers quickly turned into boos as Toad came out onto the stage, holding his title belt over his shoulder. He stopped in the middle of the stage, and held his title over his head with a smirk before walking down the stage, the title raised high above his head in glory. He leaped onto the apron and turned to the crowd, raising his title in the air again while taunting the crowd before entering the ring and climbed the turnbuckle with his raised title.

"If Toad even wants to keep Tidus away from his title at Royal Reckoning, he's going to have to beat him again!" Church stated.

"Which he will do, obviously!" Sarge stated. "He beat Tidus like a government mule last time! What's keeping him from doing such a thing now?!"

"Oh, let me see, Toad had to CHEAT last time in order to win." Church pointed out. "And it's likely Tidus will be on his guard this time, so yeah, that's keeping him from winning this time."

Toad got off the turnbuckle and handed his title to the ref, who handed it to ringside and then rang the bell. Tidus and Toad circled each other around the ring before meeting each other in a lock-up. Tidus grabbed Toad in a side headlock, who backed Tidus up to the ropes and pushed him off to the opposite ropes, and ducked a clothesline from Tidus, and when he came back, went for a Hip Toss! Tidus flipped onto his feet, however, and hit Toad with his own Hip Toss! The crowd cheered as Toad got back up, only to be taken down with an Arm Drag! Toad scrambled to his feet only for Tidus to follow up with a huge Dropkick! Toad falls tot he mat and rolls out the ring. The Champ looks at Tidus in shock while the rookie just smirked and made a "bring it" gesture to his hand.

"Hah, looks like Toad just got owned there!" Church called.

"D'oh, Toad will turn it around, just you wait!" Sarge stated. "Toad is so much more awesome than Tidus!"

"Yeah right." Church scoffed.

Toad looked at Tidus irked before sliding back into the ring and charging at Tidus. The rookie ducked a clothesline, and when Toad bounced back towards him, Tidus hit him with a huge Back Body Drop! Toad sat up in pain from the impact, only for Tidus to bounce off the ropes and nail a hard Front Dropkick to his face! Toad dropped to his back as Tidus make the cover! 1...2...Toad kicks out in time! Tidus picks up Toad up and places him for a DDT, but Toad spins out of his group and goes for a clothesline, but Tidus ducks! When Toad turns around, Tidus leaps up for an Enziguri kick, but Toad ducks and the rookie lands on the mat stomach-first! Toad immediately reacts and leaps in the air and lands an elbow across Tidus' back!

"Haha, Tidus makes the mistake he was destined to make from the start!" Sarge laughed. "Now watch as Toad shows him how inferior he is!"

Tidus screamed out in pain and Toad immediately standing to his feet, stomping away at Tidus to boos from the crowd. Tidus was picked up and whipped into the ropes, and Toad nailed a Dropkick on him! Tidus dropped to the ground and Toad dropped for a quick cover! 1...2...Kick out by Tidus! Toad picked up Tidus and whipped him into the corner, and followed him in, but the rookie moved out of the way, causing Toad to crash in the corner chest-first. Toad held his chest in pain as Tidus ran and bounced off the ropes, and charged at Toad, but the champ suddenly grabbed Tidus and hung him across the ropes! Tidus rolled across the ground, holding his throat in pain as Toad leaped onto the second turnbuckle, sized his opponent up, and nailed Tidus with a Diving Clothesline!

"Damn, Toad has gotten Tidus reeling here!" Church cursed. "That damn lackey can't win here!"

"Who are you calling a lackey?!" Sarge demanded. "Toad is no lackey!"

"Who follows Mario around everywhere and obeys all his commands again?" Church questioned.

Toad with the cover on Tidus!

1...

2...

Tidus kicks out before the three!

Toad picked up Tidus and whipped him into the corner, and as he slumped, Toad readied himself in the opposite corner, and then dashed forward at Tidus and went for the Koopa Clothesline (Jumping Corner Clothesline), but Tidus moved out of the way! Toad goes crashing into the turnbuckles and is hanged between them. As Toad sits between the turnbuckles in pain, Tidus suddenly leaped up, grabbed Toad's head, and slammed him down with a Neckbreaker from his position! The crowd goes "Oooohh" at the sight of the move!"

"Oh damn, Toad just got folded up like an accordion thanks to that Neckbreaker!" Church cringed. "And thanks to Toad's position, it definitely had to hurt like a bitch!"

"No! Toad!" Sarge cried out.

Toad's body was upside down completely as he landed on his neck before falling to his side, holding his neck in severe pain, while Tidus gets back to his feet, panting a bit. He picks up Toad and starts to land right after right on the Cruiserweight Champ before backing him up into the ropes and whipping him into the adjacent, hitting a Jumping Reverse Elbow as he came back! Tidus goes for the cover! 1...2...Toad kicks out! Tidus picks up the champ and hooks him up, lifting him for an Olympic Slam...but Toad suddenly reverses it into an arm drag! Tidus rolls across the ring and both scramble to their feet! Toad goes for a clothselines...Tidus ducks it...Toads turns around...

TIDUS NAILS A SICKENING ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THE CROWD "OOOHHH'S!" LOUDER THAN BEFORE AT THE IMPACT!

"Oh shit, that kick nearly took Toad's head off!" Church exclaimed. "Tidus may have knocked Toad clean out!"

"Ah fudge pops, Tidus cheated!" Sarge exclaimed. "He wasn't supposed to do that!"

"Like hell he wasn't Sarge, now shut up!" Church retorted.

Toad drops to the ground like a sack of potatoes and Tidus drops for the cover!

"This has got to be it!" Church exclaimed. "You can't kick out of a kick like that!"

1...

2...

TOAD ROLLS THE SHOULDER UP AT 2.9!

"Yes!" Sarge cheered. "Shows how much you know, dirty Blue! Toad kicked out, and you were proven wrong for the millionth time!"

"Damn, Toad's tougher I thought." Church admitted. "That, or he just flat out reacted on instinct."

Tidus got on his knees, a bit shocked Toad kicked out of a such a kick, and got to his feet, backing up a bit. Toad began to stir and slowly made it back to his feet, and once he did, Tidus rushed at him and leaped onto his shoulder, looking for a Hurricarana! However, Toad suddenly keeps a hold of him on his shoulders...he walks over to the ropes...

Bounces Tidus' body off the ropes...Turns around...

HITS THE BO-OMB (Slingshot Powerbomb) ON TIDUS!

"Haha, Toad just pulled out an awesome counter!" Sarge laughed. "You can your last chance at a title shot goodbye!"

Toad has Tidus in a pinning position!

1...

2...

TIDUS GET THE SHOULDER UP!

"Heh, looks like this time you were the one who was wrong for the millionth time!" Church stated smugly.

"Ah shut up, you dirty Blue." Sarge grumbled.

Toad groaned in frustration, wondering what was going to keep Tidus down. He picked up Tidus and placed him in position for the Toad Swing (Swinging Inverted DDT). He swung Tidus' body around, but the rookie suddenly spun out of the hold! Toad turns around, but Tidus hooks the champ up...OLYMPIC SLAM! COVER! 1...2...! NO! KICK OUT! Slightly panting, Tidus picked up Toad and nailed a DDT on him, laying him out across the center of the ring! Tidus then ran to one side of the ring, leaped onto the middle ropes...SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!

BUT TOAD GETS THE KNEES UP!

"Hah, once again Toad counters the damn rookie!" Sarge laughed. "That'll show for thinking he can..."

"NO WAIT LOOK!" Church shouted.

TIDUS GRABBED THE LEGS UPON LANDING, AVOIDING THE IMPACT!

Toad's eyes widened at this sight and tried to wiggle his way out, but Tidus refused to let go of his legs and slowly began to turn Toad over...Toad fights with all his might...but Tidus continues to turn him over...

TIDUS LOCKS IN A BOSTON CRAB ON TOAD AS THE CROWD CHEERS!

"Tidus just outsmarted Toad here!" Church exclaimed. "He countered the counter and now he's got a Boston Crab locked in!"

"No Toad, don't tap, please don't tap!" Sarge exclaimed. "Please don't embarass the great Mario!"

"What does Mario have to do with any of this, you idiot?!" Church stated.

Toad screamed out as pain shot through his legs and back, flailing his arms around as Tidus continued to pull back the legs. The crowd chanted "Tap! Tap! Tap!"as Toad gritted his teeth, trying to fight the pain in his body. He looked up to the ropes and began to crawl towards them, inch by inch as Tidus kept a firm hold on his legs. Suddenly, Tidus began to wrench them back even more, causing Toad to scream in pain as the crowd begged for him to tap. Eventually, he was close to the ropes, but then he lifted his hand up, shaking it slightly, as if he was to tap...

The crowd was waiting anxiously as Toad raised his hand in the air...

It shook like crazy, as if ready to tap at any time...

TOAD GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE! THE CROWD BOOS LIKE CRAZY!

"Damn, Toad gets to the rope!" Church stated. "How the hell did he do that?! Toad isn't the toughest guy out there, you know!"

"He survived because he hangs around with Super Mario!" Sarge exclaimed. "Super Mario has made him strong in so many places!"

"Once again, how does Mario factor into this match again?!" Church exclaimed.

Tidus was forced to let go of the hold by the ref and groaned in frurstration, all the while Toad stood back to his feet with help from the ropes. Tidus turned around and went for Toad, but the Champ suddenly kicked Tidus' leg out from under him, forcing him to his knees...

AND TOAD FOLLOWS WITH THE MUSHROOM DDT (Snap DDT to Kneeling Opponent)! COVER!

1...

2...

TIDUS KICKS OUT AT 2.99!

"Woah, that was too close for comfort!" Church stated. "Damn if that Mushroom DDT didn't almost do the trick!"

"Dammit, by logic it should've!" Sarge replied.

"Well, your logic is wrong then." Church remarked.

Toad dragged Tidus to one of the corners, and then began to climb the turnbuckles himself until he stood up at the very top of it. He then sized up the downed Tidus, and jumped off the turnbuckle, curling up his legs before extending them forward for the Goomba Stomp (Diving Double Foot Stomp)...

...ONLY FOR TIDUS TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY!

"TIDUS DODGES THE GOOMBA STOMP!" Church yelled. "TIDUS AVOIDED NEAR DISASTER!"

"DAMMIT, THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!" Sarge cursed.

Toad lands on his feets and rolls across the mat as Tidus gets back to his feet. Toad gets back to his feet and rushes towards Tidus...

TIDUS WITH THE BLIT-NO! TOAD DUCKS IT!

"NOW TOAD DODGES THE BLITZ KICK!" Church called.

"AHA, TOAD SHOWS TIDUS JUST CAN'T MATCH HIM!" Sarge exclaimed.

Tidus landed on his feet and turned around to a kick in the gut from Toad! Tidus bent over in pain...

Toad bounced off the ropes towards Tidus...

TOAD LIFTS HIS KNEE UP FOR THE LIFE SKILLS (Reality Check)...

WAIT! TIDUS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THE KNEE...

SPINS AROUND TOAD AND GETS BEHIND HIM, GRABS HIM...

ROLL UP! TIDUS ROLLS UP TOAD WITH THE SCHOOL BOY!

"Tidus has Toad rolled up in a pin!" Church called.

1...

2...

3!

"WAIT, WHAT?!" Sarge exclaimed.

("All I Want" by Day to Remember)

Tidus got off Toad and immediately rolled out of the ring, a bit shocked himself at what just happened before grinning greatly and cheering and celebrating outside the ring. Toad gets on his knees, looking absolutely shocked as he stares at Tidus backs up the ramp cheering. The ref gets out of the ring as Tidus backs up the ramp cheering, and raises his hand in victory. Toad's face takes on a look of anger and pounds the mat in frustration.

"What the hell just happened here, Blue?!" Sarge questioned.

"What happened was that Tidus just got one over Toad!" Church stated. "He rolled up Toad and did exactly what he said he would do: beat Toad!"

"Goddammit, this isn't fair!" Sarge stated. "Tidus stole this victory, he stole it! How can the ref not see that?!"

"Did Tidus hit a low blow? Did Tidus use ropes or tights for leverage? Did he use brass knuckles?" Church asked. "NO! So in essence, Toad got beat clean, so your argument is now made of bullshit!"

Sarge just grumbles at this.

Toad continues to glare at Tidus, who now stood on the ramp and motioned that the title was coming to him. Toad grabbed his belt from ringside and raised it high above his head head, yelling out "This is mine! You won't take this from me ever!" Both of them glared at each other from their positions until...

"Hey guys!" The crowd cheered as Tidus and Toad saw Force on the Titantron. "Awesome match you guys had! Showed exactly what our Cruiserweight Division was made of! Now Tidus, you backed up exactly what you said last week, and a deal's a deal. You will get another shot at the Cruiserweight Title at Royal Reckoning!"

The crowd cheered as Tidus just smirked, Toad just continuing to frown. "However..." Force added, catching everyone's attention. "This isn't going to be a regular match, oh no no no. No, this is going to be something more. You both hold one victory over each other, so this is going to be the rubber match. And I've had the kind of match decided the moment the possibility of the match came up last week. So here's the deal, Toad, you will defend the Cruiserweight Title at Royal Reckoning against Tidus in..." Everyone waited in anticipation at what Force was going to say.

Fox leaned into the camera and smirked devilishly. "...A LADDER MATCH!"

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Church exclaimed.

The crowd goes wild as Toad's eyes widened in shock as Tidus' mouth is hung open in joyful shock, and he pumped his fist in the air in satisfaction! Toad was now livid in the ring, shouting out like crazy! Tidus just grinned at Toad and backed up the ramp, motioning for the title, and Toad just glared at him from the ring.

"Damn, I did not see that coming at all!" Church stated. "Ladder Match for the Cruiserweight Title at Royal Reckoning! That's huge!"

"That's not fair though, a Ladder Match favors Tidus too much dammit!" Sarge stated.

"It's the Cruiserweight Division, idiot, high-flying stuff like Ladder Matches are meant for that division!" Church stated. "In any case, though, this Ladder Match has the potential to steal the show at Royal Reckoning!"

---

The Titantron shows the office of Force, where the fox in question was laying comfortably in his chair, leaning against with a satisfied smile.

"I just keep amazing myself more and more." Force chuckled. "I swear, where do I get these ideas? Maybe I'll get the GM of the Year Award, I definitely got the charisma for such a thing."

"Force the Fox..."

Force opened his eyes and swung his chair around, coming face-to-face with the Intercontinental Champion, Jason Kreuger, across the desk, and the Mobian hybrid had a very intense, yet pissed off look on his face. Force just narrowed his eyes in response to this appearance.

"Well, if it isn't my IC Champ." Force stated calmly. "What can I do for you?"

"I didn't get the chance to talk to you about this last week, but I will now." Jason stated darkly. "Now...what the hell are you thinking, fox?"

"Excuse me..." Force said with a hint of annoyance.

"You heard me, what the hell are you thinking putting me in the position you put me in at Royal Reckoning!" Jason growled. "I will take on all challengers, there is no denying that, I don't care who comes in my way, they will be fodder for me! But you are making me defend my title on the same night I enter the damn Royal Rumble Match! And what's worse, you've put me in a situation tonight where I could be forced to start that match of at No. 1! What are you trying to pull here?! I am the Intercontinental Champion, your fastest rising star! But here you are trying to screw me over before the PPV has even come! How dare you do this to me! I demand you..."

"That's enough!" Force yelled, getting out of his seat and surprising Jason. "I've had enough to hear from you! Jason, listen, I remember when I first saw you. Stuck in that South Island Asylum, looking like nothing but skin and bones and just a runt of the litter! At face value, you were nothing special, even Connor from UWE felt that way! But I knew different! I saw the potential and skill you held, the potential to be the next big thing here in UCA! So I took you out of that asylum, and you debuted here! And you have lived up to my expectations very much, even if your attitude and actions are not something I very much enjoy. The only reason I haven't done anything serious to you for harassing my female staff and hurting so many others is because of how valuable you are to me, plus I like to think you have some sort of good inside you somewhere...though it's very much buried right now. You should be grateful I pulled you of that asylum when I could've left you to rot, so you have no right to say all this shit to me! You signed up for this when I gave you the choice, and as champion you are to take on all comers and challengers at any time any place, no matter the situation! This may not be ideal to you, but this is my decision, and I'm the boss so it goes! If you want to show everyone you're so dangerous, go to Royal Reckoning and retain your title, then put on a strong performance in the Rumble, maybe even win it from whatever entry you have! Show me that I didn't make a mistake investing in you! Now get out of here, man, and find a TV. The Six-Man Battle Royal is next and I suggest you pay close attention to it since it will decide your next challenger."

Jason glared hard at the fox, who did not back down and glared just as hard, and the two engaged in a stare-off. Eventually, Jason scoffed and turned away, walking out of the room. Fox sat back into his chair, obviously a bit pissed at what he was forced to go through as he sighed, and then remembered something. He pulled out a cell phone, dialed a certain number, and waited for a few seconds as he held it to his ear.

Force growled as he heard something through the phone. "Voicemail again, dammit..." He said. "Can't he just answer the damn calls?!" Force just sighed and waited a few seconds before talking again. "Hey dude, it's me, Force the Fox. The owner of UCA that left you a message last week. I haven't got a response from you yet, so I wanted to send you another message to make sure you get it. I don't know exactly what's going on with you, I admit it. It could be about what happened with you at the Clash a few months ago, it could be something to do with your friends, I don't know. But I know for a fact you can't remain silent forever. You got to get back on track here, and UCA can help you with that. Me and my company can raise you to new heights no damn doubt about it, you can put what happened to you and whatever problems you have in the past. UCA here can really help you out here, both from a personal and business perspective, so I hope you call us soon. UCA is where your destiny is man, I hope you realize that. I hope to get a reply soon. Bye." Force hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair with a sigh.

"I hope he does at least reply to that call. Because I don't want to deal with these voicemals anymore."

---

"There he goes again, trying to talk to whoever he's trying to talk to." Church stated. "Just who the hell is this guy Force wants?"

"Got me, Blue, I'm still stuck on why Force is so red yet acts like a dirty Blue!" Sarge stated.

"Ugh, whoever he or she is, Force really wants the person bad." Church stated. "However, it seems like he doesn't like dealing with the voicemails here."

"Ah, let's worry about that for another time!" Sarge replied. "Right now, it's time for the Six-Man Battle Royal!"

The bell suddenly rings, the sound echoing across the arena. "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Six-Man Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal! You are eliminated when you are thrown over the top rope and both feet hit the floor! The last man standing will face Jason Krueger for the Intercontinental Title at Royal Reckoning!"

("Johnny Cage's Theme" by LA Riots)

The crowd gave out loud cheers as the music played, and none other than Johnny Cage himself came out onto the stage with an arrogant smirk and swag. Cage looked out towards the crowd and just continued to smirk arrogantly as he slicked his hair back before throwing his hands forward Dolph-Ziggler style before walking down the ramp. He entered the ring and getting up on turnbuckle, acting even more arrogant.

"Introducing first, from Hollywood, California, weighing in at 239 lbs., Johnny Cage!"

"Crap, it's Johnny Cage again." Church groaned. "Last week, Johnny ran his big mouth about how he was going to win the Rumble, and got a Poke-Flow for his troubles. Now, for some damn reason, he's in this match tonight! But why in the hell are these people cheering him?!"

"It's because we're near Hollywood baby, and these people love their Hollywood stars!" Sarge stated. "It truly is a joy to see them cheering their hometown hero, baby, and you can bet that will give Big Johnny a great advantage!"

"Big Johnny?" Church questioned. "Are you serious?"

("Hero" by Pop Evil)

The cheers quickly degenerated into boos as Ben Tennyson came out onto the stage, a bit of a stoic expression on his face. He looked out to the crowd for a second before smirking and shouting "Thanks for the support!" causing the crowd to boo him louder. He walked down the ramp, stretching his arms out along the way before sliding into the ring and got on the ropes raising his hands while stretching out his index fingers.

"Introducing next, from Bellwood Illinois, weighing at 243 lbs., Ben "Ten" Tennyson!"

"Ben Ten is in action, and he's had a good career in UCA." Church stated. "A former World Champion in his own right, he also won Money in the Bank in 2007, and is a former Intercontinental Champion and Hardcore Champion. But damn, if this kid doesn't have mental issues! This crowd absolutely hates him, but somehow he thinks they're loving him and think he's some sort of hero, even though most of the stuff he does are downright bad!"

"He is a hero, you dirty Blue!" Sarge replied. "These people are just too stupid to realize it! Ben is there hero, whether they like it or not, and he does great things for us all! Go Ben Ten!"

"As always you show us why you are such an idiot, Sarge." Church stated. "As if this kid wasn't already messed up in CCW. But despite her personality problems, he's still a hell of a talent, and has a good chance in this Battle Royal."

("My Town" by Hollywood Undead)

The crowd went absolutely wild with cheers as Naruto Uzumaki came out, a big excited grin on his face. He played to the crowd a bit, making them cheering even louder before pumping his fist through the air and running down the ramp and sliding into the ring. He ran across the ring and bounced off the ropes several times before pumping his fist through the air once more and held it high, the crowd cheering him the whole time.

"Introducing next, from Konoha Village, weighing in at 235 lbs., Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Naruto Uzumaki is in the house ladies and gentlemen " Church stated. "This guy's a three-time Intercontinental Champion, former Hardcore Champion, and a former Tag Team Champion with Sasuke. He even won the 2009 Royal Rumble and main-evented Final Clash that year! He's done quite a bit here!"

"Yeah, but guess what? No World Championship in that resume." Sarge stated smugly. "Lost to Blue in the main event of that Final Clash, and has been an absolute failure ever since! He was a victim of Jason before, and he'll be one again if he wins this!"

"Screw that, Naruto can beat Jason for the IC Title a few months ago!" Church stated. "The reign may have lasted only two weeks, but Naruto has proven he can beat Jason! And he can get another chance to do it if he wins tonight!"

("Frontline" by Pillar)

The cheers continued as the angel himself, Pit, came out onto the stage, a big smile on his face as he suddenly flew into the air, spinning around a few times before landing on the ground to white pyro coming out of the stage. He held up his bow above his head as he walked down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans before he leaped onto the apron and then over the ropes. He then twirled his bow into the air before flashily catching it and raising it, striking a pose.

"And introducing next, from Overworld, weighing at 216 lbs., Pit!"

"Looks like Pit is going to be in this as well!" Church stated. "Pit's also a former World Champion and 2010 Money in the Bank winner, and he's also held the Cruiserweight Titles twice, and is a former Intercontinental Champion as well! Kid's got crazy talent!"

"Ugh, I hate Pit so much." Sarge stated. "Such a damn goody two-shoes, too damn optimistic about things, and I hate that damn smile! Stupid little angel..."

"Hey he's an angel, how else would you expect him to act?" Church replied.

("Song of the Sage" by Amorphis)

The crowd cheered loudly as moments later, Link came out onto the stage, and walked down before stopping on the rampway, looked out into the crowd and then raised his fists in the air, green pyro going off behind him. He then made his way down the ramp and entered the ring, climbing up a turnbuckle and raising his fists in the air.

"And now, from the Land of Hyrule, weighing in at 245 lbs., "The Hero of Time" Link!"

"Link has got to be a definitive favorite here in this match up!" Church stated. "A definite legend, Link is a six-time Intercontinental Champion the second most reigns with that title in history, former two-time Tag Team Champion with Sheik, former Hardcore Champion, and a two-time World Champion in UCA!"

"Even I have to admit that he is a great in the business." Sarge stated. "No doubt he is a great, but guess what? His time is up! His legacy was killed by the Gaming Killer, Megaman! He no longer deserves to be in the great Land of the Reds!"

"Land of the Reds...seriously?" Church asked disbelievingly.

("I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin)

The cheers finally turned into boos as Crunch Bandicoot came out onto the stage, looking out to the crowd with a dangerous smile. He popped his neck several times in preparation several times before smirking and walking down the ramp and entering the ring. He then walked over to the ropes and leaned against them, smirking cockily at the crowd.

"And finally, from Wumpa Island, weighing in at 313 lbs., Crunch Bandicoot!"

"And here is the multiple time Tag Team and Hardcore Champion!" Church stated. "The guy is one hell of a damn powerhouse! Straight up nasty, mean, and vicious! Combine that with his size, and he is one dangerous dude!"

"And he was no doubt at his most dangerous in 2005, rightfully betraying that insane Crash and joining the great Rival Empire!" Sarge stated. "Crunch was absolutely awesome during that time, and he is still great as a Red to this day!"

"2005...man, what a nightmare year that was for UCA." Church grimaced. "But that was then, and this is now, and if Crunch can win here, he'll have a chance to win his first Intercontinental Title. But he's got to throw five other guys over the top rope to do so right now."

Crunch took his place in one of the corners as each of the competitors took a place in the ring, and the match began with Johnny immediately rushing at Crunch, only to get turned inside out from a vicious clothesline! The competitors immediately began to pounce on another, with Ben and Pit immediately traded blows while Link and Naruto double-teamed Crunch and backed him into a corner. They continued to gang up on the bandicoot until Crunch used his strength to throw both of them off. Naruto dashed after Crunch only for to get dropped with a Big Boot to the face! Link ran after Crunch and jumped up for an Enziguri, but Crunch ducked it, causing Link to crash onto the mat! Crunch picked up Link and then lifted him up for a huge Thrust Spinebuster! Ben caught Pit with a hard right knocking him down, and then rushed at Crunch and leaped towards him, only for Crunch to catch him in his arms and hit a Fallaway Slam on him!

"Damn Crunch is dominating here!" Church stated. "He's swatting everyone that comes his way like flies!"

"They're note even flies to Crunch, no...they're amoebas!" Sarge exclaimed.

Crunch surveyed the damage and his eyes laid upon Pit who was leaning against a corner, and Crunch wasted no time running towards him and crushing him with a Corner Clothesline! Pit staggered out of the corner and Crunch picked him up onto his shoulders. He smirked and went for a Running Powerslam, but Pit got out his hold and landed behind him. Crunch turned around, only for Pit to leap at the second ropes and bounce off them, nailing a Springboard Tornado DDT on the bandicoot, taking him down! Pit got back up only for Naruto to sneak up behind, grab him in a waistlock and go for a German Suplex! But Pit flips onto his feet and backs up into the ropes and goes for a clothesline on Naruto, but the ninja ducks it and when Pit comes back, slams the angel down with a Powerslam! He picked up Pit and attempted to throw him over the top rope, but the angel held onto the ropes! Naruto to continue to push harder until Ben struck him from behind, and proceeded to grab his head and hit an Inverted Facelock Backbreaker followed by a Neckbreaker Slam!

"The chaos of this Battle Royal is finally unfolding!" Church stated. "Everyone's getting jacked from behind left and right!"

Ben leaped into the air and landed an elbow across Naruto's chest, and went to pick him, but Link came in and clothesline Ben! He picked Ben up, whipped him into the ropes, and caught him when he came back with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker! Ben arched his back in immense pain and Link proceeded to pick him up, back him up the ropes, and tried to whip him, but Ben reversed and whipped Link instead towards Pit, and the angel bent over, and threw him over the top rope!

...but Link manages to land on the apron!

"Damn, that was too close a call for Link!" Church stated.

"Dammit son, be eliminated!" Sarge exclaimed. "Your time is up now!"

Ben ran full speed at Pit, looking for a right hand to the face, but Pit ducked, and the Omnitrix-wearer ran right into Link's own right hand, Ben staggering back from the impact before falling down. Pit turned around and looked to hit Link, but the Hylian blocked it and nailed a stiff kick to Pit's head from the apron, dazing him. Link then grabbed him and placed him in the suplex position, and proceeded to lift him over the top rope and upside down! As Link was about to let go of Pit down to the ground...

Johnny Cage suddenly ran to Link, dropped to a split-leg position...

NUT PUNCH (Split-Legged Low Blow Punch) ON LINK!

"NUT PUNCH!" Sarge yelled. "JOHNNY'S SIGNATURE MOVE! STILL AWESOME EVERY TIME!"

"OH SHIT!" Church cringed. "EVEN I FELT THAT! AND IT'S NOT DQ SO IT'S LEGAL!"

The crowd "Oooohhh's" very loudly as Link dropped Pit back into the ring, and the Hylian immediately held his lower regions in absolutely infinite pain, face contorting in pain. With Link leaning against the ropes on the apron, Johnny immediately got back to his feet, jumped into the air, and hits Link with a dropkick! Link falls off the apron and crashes down to the ground!

"WHAT?!" Church exclaimed. "YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! JOHNNY ELIMINATED LINK?!"

"HAHA, JOHNNY ELIMINATED A FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!" Sarge exclaimed. "JOHNNY'S GREATNESS HAS JUST SHINED!"

The crowd went wild as Johnny began to jump for joy in the ring, celebrating like crazy as if he had won the Battle Royal. After cheering in exaggerated fashion, then pointed to each remaining competitor, saying "I'm taking you out! I'm taking you out! I'm taking you out! And I'm taking out! I'm taking you all out!" Johnny then raised his hands in triumph as the hometown crowd cheered, the remaining wrestlers looking irked at him.

"Oh great, now Johnny's acting like he's already won this Battle Royal!" Church groaned. "Stop celebrating you idiot, you haven't won the match!"

"He deserves to celebrate, you idiot, he just eliminated a legend!" Sarge replied. "This is his moment! Celebrate Johnny!"

"This is one reason why I hate that...Hey, wait, look." Church said.

Unbeknownst to the cheering Johnny, the remaining four wrestlers had slowly began to surround him from all sides, annoyed and irked expressions on all their faces. Eventually, they had formed a circle around Johnny, blocking him from all sides and once Cage had stopped cheering, he saw the position his opponents were in and stood still, the smile disappearing from his face. His opponents continued to stare at him with irked expressions...

...and then all converged on Johnny and started beating the crap out of him!

"No! Johnny!" Sarge cried out.

"Looks like everybody in the ring hates Johnny and his giant ego as well, and Johnny's paying the price for it!" Church stated.

The crowd booed loudly as their hometowner was brought down to the ground and the four men continued to stomp, kick, and punch the former Hollywood actor relentlessly. Crunch then picked up Johnny, and then proceeded to deliver Crunch Time (Gutwrench Powerbomb) on Johnny Cage! Johnny was completely laid out and all four men picked up the dead weight and proceeeded to throw him over the top rope and down to the ground, eliminating him to a chorus of boos!

"The hometown crowd may not like it, but Johnny got his ass whipped and eliminated!" Church stated. "That's what you get for having a big fat mouth!"

"Ooooh, damn them all! How dare they do that to poor Johnny! A travesty, I tell you!" Sarge exclaimed.

Crunch leaned against the ropes and glared at Johnny on the ground, trash talking him for a bit, smirking all the while...

...WHEN THE OTHER THREE MEN LIFTED HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND FELL TO THE GROUND!

"WHAT?!" Sarge exclaimed.

"IT'S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF HERE!" Church exclaimed. "CRUNCH LET HIS GUARD DOWN AND PAID THE PRICE!"

Crunch got to his knees on the ground, looking absolutely shocked at the three still in the ring before the look turned to rage and he tried to get back into the ring, but the refs stopped him and eventually got him to make his way to the back. In the meanwhile, Ben struck both Naruto and Pit from behind, and tried to lift both of them over the top rope, but they both held onto the ropes and proceeded to push him away. Ben tried to get rush at them, only for the two to Double Dropkick him! Pit went for a clothesline on Naruto, but the ninja ducked it. Pit bounced off the ropes back to Naruto, and was immediately sent flying with a Back Body Drop. Pit arched his back in pain as he crashed on the mat, and went he got to his knees, Naruto readied himself, and swung his leg for the Ninja Kick (Buzzsaw Kick)! But wait! Pit ducks it and immediately stands up, and went Naruto turns around, Pit hooks him up...

...AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH THE ANGEL Slam (Standing Side Slam)!

"Pit slams Naruto down with the Angel Slam!" Church called. "That move is sure to jar Naruto right out of his boots!"

Pit picked Naruto and dragged him over to the ropes and attempted to throw him over the top rope, but Naruto grabbed hold of the ropes and held on with all his might! Pit grabbed hold of the legs and attempted to left him over, but Naruto kept fighting to stay rooted to the inside of the ring! Ben suddenly grabbed Pit from behind and dragged him to the center of the ring. He locked in a waistlock, lifted Pit up...AND HITS THE GALAXY STORM (Belly-to-Back Facebuster)!

"Ha, ignoring Ben like that was a huge mistake!" Sarge stated. "You don't ignore the greatest hero of all time!"

"Sarge, shut up, please!" Church exclaimed.

Ben looked down at Pit for a moment before Naruto rushed towards him, but Ben sidestepped and maneuvered behind the ninja, grabbing Naruto and lifting him up for another Galaxy Storm, but Naruto backflipped his way out Ben's hold and landed behind him. Ben turned around only to be lifted up onto Naruto's shoulders, and DRIVEN DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THE KONOHA DROP (Twisting Samoan Drop)!

"Konoha Drop connects!" Church stated. "These three are pulling out all of their big moves right now!"

"They want that title shot against Jason badly, but only the mightiest Red of them all can win!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Sarge, I swear, did you get dropped on your head as a baby?" Church questioned.

Naruto decided to finish off Ben and picked the Omnitrix-wearer up, getting behind him and wrapping his arms around Ben in a waistlock! He then pushed Ben forward into one of the corners, rolled backwards with Ben in tow, then stood up...AND LIFTED BEN FOR THE NINE-TAILS DESTROYER (Chaos Theory)...WAIT, BEN FLIPS OUT OF NARUTO'S GRASP AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! Naruto gets to his feet, but is grabbed by Ben and THROWN THROUGH THE TURNBUCKLES INTO THE RING POST!

"Oh shit! Naruto just got DESTROYED being thrown into that ring post!" Church winced.

"Of course he did! That's the result when you go up against a hero!" Sarge stated.

Naruto staggered out of the corner backwards, holding his shoulder in immense pain, and Ben took advantage by grabbing him from behind in a Single-Arm Straight Jacket, twists him out of it, AND KNOCKS NARUTO OUT WITH THE GALAXY STRIKE (Souvenir Elbow)! The crowd explodes with boos as Naruto lies flat on his back before Ben picks him up and throws him over the top rope and down to the ground!

"Damn, Naruto is eliminated!" Church stated. "He won't be getting a rematch with Jason for the Intercontinental Title!"

"Ha, of course not!" Sarge laughed. "After all, it was nighty-night for him once Ben hit the Galaxy Strike! When do people learn they can't win against such a hero?!"

"Well, it's down to Ben and Pit here!" Church stated. "One of these two guys will face Jason at Royal Reckoning for the Intercontinental Title!"

The crowd continued to rain boos down on Ben for his elimination of Naruto, and Ben looked out to the crowd with a smirk and raised his hand shouting "Don't worry everybody! Your hero is here to save you all!" The crowd continued to jeer and boo him and Ben turned his attention to the downed angel. With the smirk still on his face, he picked up Pit and lifted him onto his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry. The crowd booed Ben and chanted "Ben Sucks! Ben Sucks! Ben Sucks!" Ben laughed as if though the crowd cheered him and went for the Omni-Slam (Wasteland), but Pit suddenly squirmed in his grasp and landed right behind Ben!

The angel backed up into the ropes and bounced off them just as Ben turned around...

Pit spun around 360 degrees...

Lifted his foot upward...

AND NAILS BEN WITH THE ARROW SHOT (Discus Running Big Boot)! THE CROWD EXPLODES AS BEN IS DROPPED!

"ARROW SHOT!" Church exclaims. "DAMN, PIT JUST SMASHED HIS BOOT RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW OF THE SELF-PROCLAIMED HERO!"

"CRAP! THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" Sarge exclaimed.

Pit leans against the ropes, slightly panting as he rested up a bit. After a few moments, Pit went to the downed Ben, picking him up and readying him. Once good, Pit proceeded to throw him over the top rope, but Ben reverses mid-throw, and throws Pit over the top rope! Pit however holds onto the ropes and lands on the apron. Ben goes over to the ropes to take out Pit, but the angel catches him with a hard right that sends him back a bit! Pit leaps onto the top rope, and Spirngboards off it towards...BUT BEN CATCHES HIM IN-MID AIR ON HIS SHOULDERS, FIREMAN'S CARRY STYLE!

"OH SHIT!" Church cursed. "BEN JUST CAUGHT PIT, AND LOOK AT THE POSITION HE'S IN!"

"YES, ONE OMNI-SLAM COMING UP!" Sarge exclaimed.

Ben prepped himself and goes for the Omni-Slam...but Pit gets off Ben's shoulders and lands in front of him! A kick to the gut of Ben bends the self-proclaimed over, and places Ben between his legs...

Pit hooks the arms...lifts Ben up...

AND DRIVES BEN DOWN WITH THE WINGS OF ICARUS (Angel's Wings)!

"WINGS OF ICARUS!" Church exclaimed. "PIT NAILS THE WINGS OF ICARUS! CAN YOU SAY NIGHTY-NIGHT TO BEN?!"

"NOT THE WINGS! ANYTHING BUT THE WINGS!" Sarge cried out.

Ben bounced off the mat and lied across it absolutely motionless, and Pit wasted no time picking up the limp body of Ben, grabbing him tightly, and threw him over the top rope! Ben crashes down to the ground outside!

"Ben's been eliminated! Pit wins! Pit wins!" Church exclaimed.

("Frontline" by Pillar)

"Here is your winner, and No. 1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship, Pit!"

The crowd exploded in cheers as the winner was announced, Pit throwing up his hands in victory as he fell to his knees. A ref came into the ring and held up one of Pit's arm in a sign of victory, and Pit immediately jumped into the air in joy before leaping onto one of the corner turnbuckles, raising up his arms in triumphed before motioning that the title was coming to him.

"Pit has outlasted five other guys and won this Battle Royal!" Church stated. "As a result, Pit will challenge Jason for the Intercontinental Title at Royal Reckoning! Man, is that ever going to be a battle between two opposites!"

"Grr, it should've been Ben getting the honor that Pit does not deserve!" Sarge exclaimed. "Ah, whatever, Jason will destroy Pit anyway!"

"Can;t count Pit out dude, he's one tough kid if I've ever seen one!" Church replied. "Expect Pit to give Jason a big-time challenge at Royal Reckoning!"

Pit continued to celebrate on the turnbuckle, the crowd cheering him the whole time as he smiled out at them. He leaped off the turnbuckle and turned around...ONLY TO GET CLOCKED IN THE FACE WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE BY JASON!

"SON OF A BITCH! IT'S JASON!" Church shouted. "Where the hell did he come from?! He just blasted Pit with the title!"

"Who cares, stupid Blue, we're about to witnessed destruction at its finest!" Sarge exclaimed.

Jason stared down at Pit with a sadistic and disturbed look on his face before throwing his title belt to the side and picking up the angel. He lifted Pit up onto his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry, and with a sadistic sneer to the crowd...proceeded to drive Pit down on his head with Absolute Destruction!

"Dammit, Jason nailed Absolute Destruction!" Church cursed. "This maniac has just taken out his future challenger!"

"Ha, all is fair in love and war, and Jason just made a statement here!" Sarge exclaimed. "That's the way the Reds do things!"

"HE'S NOT A RED, YOU STUPID BASTARD!" Church exclaimed.

The crowd booed loudly as Jason stared down at Pit, a satisfied grin on his face as he picked up his title. He stood over the fallen angel and raised his title, a cold, yet evil and sadistic look in his eye.

"Will this be the scene at Royal Reckoning?" Church asked. "To be quite honest, I certainly hope not."

"Well, tough luck, Blue, because this is exactly what's going to happen so get over it." Sarge stated.

The Titantron suddenly goes to the backstage area and we are shown the locker room, and in that locker room were none other than the reunited Sonic Heroes. Tails and Knuckles were sitting in some nearby chairs with their newly won Tag Titles over their shoulders, looking at the scene before them with great amusement. As for what that scene was...well, it was just Amy squeezing the life out of Sonic in a joyous, bone-crushing hug.

"Oh Sonic, you're back!" Amy exclaimed with a big smile,squeezing even tighter. "I'm so happy! I haven't seen you in months, and it really sucked not having you around! Especially with so many horrible people like Peach and Mario around! I was so lonely! But now you're back, Sonikku! And we're going to be so happy together!"

"Amy..." Sonic choked out. "Can't...breathe..."

"Oh!" Amy realized, immediately letting go of Sonic and allowing him to breath. "I'm so sorry, Sonic! I got carried away! I mean, I wasn't expecting you back, and now you're here! It's just..."

"It's cool, Amy..." Sonic panted. "But you should really know your own strength. I nearly suffocated here."

"Sorry." Amy said sheepishly; her expression turned a bit sad. "I feel a bit bad though. Last week Tails and Knuckles win the Tag Titles and you made a shocking return and got a World Title match, while I got beat by Lightning. I feel I kind of let the team down."

"Hey don't worry about that Amy." Sonic said comfortingly, placing a hand on her shoulder. "We can't win them all, and besides, that Lightning chick just got lucky last week. I know you'll beat her the next time you face her."

"You think so?" Amy asked.

"Of course I do." Sonic stated with a grin.

"Oh thank you, Sonikku." Amy replied with a smile and blush.

"Also..." Sonic turned to Knuckles and Tails. "Congratulations on your title win guys, I'm really proud of you."

"Heh, thanks Sonic." Knuckles smirked. "And it was only more sweet to have taken them from those asshole Mario Bros. after all they've done to us. Seeing the look on their faces as we took their titles was priceless."

"Yeah, becoming Tag Team Champions was great, especially now that we can elevate the division back up." Tails stated. "Though we do have to deal with Luigi at Royal Reckoning, and we don't even know who his partner will be."

"Ah who cares, without his brother he's useless, so no matter who he chooses, we'll win hands down." Knuckles stated confidently. "And then there's tonight. We get another chance at those Mario Bros., and it's 3 against 2!"

"Heh, not every day you see the good guys get the numbers advantage." Sonic smirked his signature grin. "But I'll take it, nonetheless. Seeing Mario on the other end of the stick for once is greatly satisfying. About time he got what was coming to him, and I get the chance to show him exactly what's going to happen to him at Royal Reckoning which is real simple: Me beating him within an inch of his life and walking out World Heavyweight Champion."

"That sight will absolutely kill Mario, you know." Knuckles chuckled.

"I know, which is why I'm going to do that." Sonic replied. "It's time for some payback, no doubt about it."

The scene changes to the interview area of backstage, and this time, there is a regular blue-colored soldier there holding a microphone, though he seemed unusually happy for some reason.

"Hello, everybody." He said in an excited voice. "My name is Michael J. Caboose, and I'm...Wait...I AM ON TV! HI MOM! HI DAD! I HOPE YOU ARE WATCHING ME! I am so excited right now! This is like a dream come true! I am a TV star!"

"Caboose, shut up, you're supposed to be doing an interview right now!" Tucker shouted from off-screen.

"Oh right, sorry." Caboose apologized "Okay now. My guest right now...is the most awesomest, the most greatest, the most favoritest guy in the world! And I am his number one fan! It's the Pokemon Master, Red!"

Red appeared on the screen from the right side, and the arena went insane with loud cheers at the sight of Pokemon Legend himself.

"Red, I am a huge fan of yours!" Caboose stated. "You are the greatest Fiction Wrestler...EVER! I have merchandise of you, posters, action figures, the games, the mangas, plushies, I have every single merchandise of yours plastered all over my room! That is how awesome you are!"

"Uh, thanks...I think..." Red replied, a bit creeped out.

"Okay, I think I'm supposed to ask a question right now..." Caboose said, pulling out a note card and reading it over. "Okay here it is. Red, you have recently entered yourself as one of the thirty men in this year's Rumble Match, but you have done so much in your career here in UCA, even winning the Rumble Match twice already. The question is that now, what are your plans for your future and career?"

"Well Caboose, you're right, I've done practically everything there is to do here in UCA." Red confirmed. "Intercontinental Champion, Tag Team Champion, Cruiserweight Champion, first-ever Hardcore Champion, and eight-time World Champion. First-ever UCA Grand Slam Champion, and first-ever UCA Undisputed World Champion. I main-evented Final Clash more times than anyone else. And like you said, I already won the Rumble twice. So that begs the question...what else is there for me to do? Well...I've been thinking that for awhile now, and while I have done so much that's worthy of a first-ballot Hall of Fame induction, there's one thing that's left that I want to do, one thing I have yet to achieve...And that's become a ten-time World Champion."

The crowd went crazy as Red continued. "There have many people who have been World Champion in the business of wrestling, but only the greatest have ever reached the much-desired ten title reigns. Triple H, Sting, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair are among the non-fiction names that have reached the number, and are considered among the best of the best. In Fiction Wrestling, guys like Mario and Charlie Araya of UWE have reached that plateau, legends themselves. I want to be among those elite names. When I retire, I want to be one of the few who managed to reach that great height. I want to have the honor of saying I was a ten-time World Champion when my career ends. And the road to that begins at Royal Reckoning. The Rumble is where I shine. I lasted 65:33 in 2000, the longest time ever in UCA, and won my second Rumble in 2006 to gain my fifth World Title. And at Royal Reckoning, I'm going to be only the second person in wrestling history, alongside Steve Austin, and first in Fiction Wrestling, to win three Rumble Matches. I will go on to Final Clash, and become a nine-time World..."

Red suddenly trailed off when his eyes caught sight of something and a few seconds later, Senji Kiyomasa came onto the screen, Hardcore on his shoulder and a smirk plastered on his face as he looked at Red.

"Red...the very face of UCA." Senji stated. "The greatest star this company has ever seen. An eight-time World Champion, and the first-ever holder of the title on my shoulder. A legend in this business."

"Senji..." Red said slowly. "May I help you with something?"

"Actually, you can." Senji said anxiously. "See, I'm a guy that's always looking for a challenge, the thrill of a fight. I got the challenge I wanted last week, and I know I'm going to get the challenge I want in the Rumble Match. But I want myself another fight, and right now, I am looking at the best that UCA has to offer. The man who provides the greatest challenge to anyone he faces."

"Are you implying what I think you're implying, Senji?" Red questioned.

"You got that right." Senji smirked. "Next week, you and me, one-on-one in the middle of the ring! You're the best, and I want to fight the very best. I would say tonight, but I want to give you a chance to be ready so you won't have any excuse when I beat you."

Red nods in response. "You're on, Senji. I haven't wrestled in awhile, so I can use a good warm-up. Just be sure to bring your best out there in the ring. I didn't get where I am today without knowing how to go in the ring."

"Oh I will, and trust me, it will be much more than a warm-up for you. See you next week." Senji then turned around and left the interview area. Red stared after him for awhile before leaving as well, leaving Caboose alone.

"Wow...that was awesome." Caboose stated; he then looked forward. "Hey, I'm on TV! HI MOM! HI DAD!"

"Who the hell's bright idea was it to make Caboose do this interview?!" Tucker shouted off-screen.

---

"Well, as usual, Caboose is a fucking idiot with a few marbles short of a bag." Church stated as if it was obvious. "But man, we already got ourselves a HUGE match made next week! Red vs Senji! I think this may be the first time they've faced each other!"

"You got that right, and I will say that it will be nothing short of explosive!" Sarge stated. "The legendary, multiple-time World Champion veteran versus the crazy motherf*cker that is violent and loves to fight! Can you say EPICNESS?!"

"Man, that is going to be a war if I've ever seen one." Church stated. "Both men will definitely bring their A-game as they looked to build momentum towards the Rumble. And right now, it's time for a match with two people who have a lot of history together."

("Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit)

The crowd boos loudly as dark purple lighting takes over the arena and the lights began to flicker on and off, and when the music picked up, Chaos the Hedgehog came out onto the stage and stood in the middle of it. He held his head down to the ground for a few seconds before looking up and towards the booing crowd and sneered before giving out a battle cry and raising his arms in the air before walking down the ramp in a powerful manner. He leaped onto the apron and entered the ring, walking over to the corner and climbed it, raising his arms in a god-like manner!

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 238 lbs., the "God of Destruction" Chaos the Hedgehog!"

"Last week, Chaos got eliminated first in the Hardcore Title match, and decided to screw over Shadow as some sort of payback!" Church stated. "As a result, he now finds himself facing a close friend of Shadow in Hope, and these two are no strangers to each other!"

"Of course not, dirty Blue, their history together is very storied!" Sarge replied. "They've been rivals since they first appeared here, they even faced each other in their debut match! And hot damn, what an epic match that was!"

"That match years ago certainly opened up a lot of eyes to these two, and ever since, they've traded many victories over one another." Church informed. "Tonight, I believes marks their seventh meeting, with them tied at three victories a piece. And you can bet Chaos looks for victory number four over Hope tonight."

("I Am (Third Remix)" by Dale Oliver)

The crowd cheered loudly as white pyro rained down from the Titantron above the stage, covering it completely. Seconds later, Hope came out through the white pyro wearing a sleeveless white jacket with a hood over head, standing onto the stage and looking out to the crowd. He then crouched down before throwing the hood off his head standing straight up, throwing his arms to the sides in a pose, exciting the crowd even more. He stared down Chaos from the stage with an intense look before making his way down the ramp. He walked up the steel steps and entered the ring and threw his hands out to the side again, patting his chest a few time for the crowd.

"And his opponent, from South Island, weighing in at 218 lbs., the "Warrior of Light" Hope the Hedgehog!"

"Hope is in the house, and this kid's got skill no doubt!" Church stated. "A two-time Cruiserweight Champion and three-time Tag Champion with Shadow as D-Hedgeration X, Hope's got all the potential in the world. And right now, Hope looks to use that potential to kick Chaos' ass!"

"In my opinion, Hope has no damn business getting involved with Chaos right now!" Sarge stated. "That damn hedgehog keeps poking his nose in stuff that doesn't concern him, and now it's going to cause him his destruction!"

"Like hell it doesn't concern him!" Church exclaimed. "One of his closest friends got attacked by Chaos last week, and he'll be damned if he'll let it go unanswered for! Hope is looking for payback no doubt about it!"

Hope shed his jacket and placed it outside the ring and faced off with Chaos on the opposite side of the ring as the ref rang the bell. The slowly made their way towards one another and engaged in a lock-up in the middle of the ring. Slowly, but surely, Chaos backed Hope up into one of the corners and kept him there, and the ref began to count, and soon enough, Chaos broke the hold on him. But suddenly, Chaos slapped Hope right across the face, earning very loud boos from the crowd.

"Damn, what a slap to the face!" Church exclaimed. "Complete disrespect right there!"

Chaos smirked evilly as Hope's head turned to the side, the white hedgehog registering the slap and narrowing his eyes. Chaos chuckled to himself, but Hope suddenly turned towards Chaos with a fire in his eyes and struck him hard with a right hand, the crowd loud with cheers. Chaos backed up from the impact and Hope suddenly took him down and began to beat the crap out of him with repeated punches. The ref tried to pull Hope off Chaos, and the white hedgehog eventually got off his rival and picked him up. He whipped Chaos to the ropes and when he came back, leapfrogged over him, allowing Chaos to bounce off the ropes to once more. And when he did, Hope leaped up and nailed a picture perfect Dropkick right to the mush! Hope covers Chaos! 1...2...Kick out!

"Oh damn Chaos, do something!" Sarge cried out. "Don't let this wannabe beat you!"

"Looks like that slap may have only motivated Hope to kick some ass!" Church stated.

Hope picked up Chaos and nailed a few knees to Chaos' stomach, buckling him before hooking him up and lifting him for a Suplex, but Chaos flipped out of the hold and landed behind Hope, pushing him into one of the corners. Hope stopped himself before crashing, and when Chaos rushed at him, he elbowed him in the face, causing the violet/black hedgehog to stagger back a bit. Hope then leaped up onto the second turnbuckle, then onto the top one, and jumped off for a Double Springboard Crossbody! But Chaos suddenly moved out of the way, causing Hope to crash down to the mat stomach-first. Hope stood on his knees, holding his abdomen in pain when Chaos suddenly ran forward and booted Hope right in the face! Hope collapsed to the ground as Chaos made the cover! 1...2...Kick out! Chaos immediately mounted Hope and began drive punch after vicious punch into Hope's skull!

"Damn those punches look absolutely brutal!" Church winced. "You won't find anyone with a more vicious punch than Chaos!"

"Of course not, he's the God of Destruction, what else would you expect?!" Sarge exclaimed.

Chaos stood up and stomped viciously on Hope's chest several times before picking up Hope and landing a Belly-to-Belly Suplex on him, and then bounced off the ropes and landed a Leg Drop across the neck! Cover! 1...2...Kick out! Chaos growled and picked up Hope, whipping him into one of the corners and following him! Once Hope reaches the corner, however, he climbs it suddenly and backflips off it, landing behind Chaos as he stop himself. Hope then proceeded to run towards the ropes and bounce off them, Chaos attempting to clotheseline him, but Hope ducked it and bounced off the ropes again! When Chaos turned around, he was struck by a Flying Clothesline from Hope! Both scrambled to their feet and Chaos was greeted with a kick to the gut by Hope, and the white hedgehog lifted Chaos for a suplex again, but again Chaos landed behind Hope and lifted Hope up for a Back Suplex, but Hope himself backflipped onto his feet...ONLY FOR CHAOS TO DROP HIM WITH A STUNNER!

"Damn, these two are just going all out here!" Church stated. "When these two face each other, it's like they go at a whole other level!"

"And hot damn, is it ever so fun to watch such beatings take place before our very eyes." Sarge said. "Quality Red entertainment at it's finest!"

Chaos dropped for a cover on Hope! 1...2...Kick out! Chaos picked Hope up and whipped him into the ropes, bending over for a Back Body Drop, but when Hope came back, he leaped over Chaos and ran over to the ropes, bouncing off them as Chaos turned around, nailing a Spinning Heel Kick on the violet/black hedgehog! Hope with the quick cover! 1...2...Kick out! Hope picked up Chaos, placed him in the Suplex position, and proceeded to finally hit the Suplex he's been looking for! Hope then climbed the nearest turnbuckle, and when on top, raised his hands up Macho-Man style before leaping off for the Dive from Heaven (Diving Elbow Drop)! But Chaos gets the knees up, Hope's elbow crashing down on them! Hope screams out in pain as he staggers to his feet, holding his elbow in pain until he turned around and was kicked in the gut before being planted with a DDT by Chaos! Cover! 1...2...Hope gets the shoulder up!

"Back and forth, back and forth!" Church stated. "Damn, these two just keep trading momentum here!"

"Dammit though, Chaos should've ended it with that DDT!" Sarge cursed. "Damn Hope for not knowing when to bow to a God!"

"He's not a god dumbass, get that through your head!" Church stated.

Chaos growled in frustration before picking Hope up, hooking him up from behind, and lifted him up for a Pumphandle Slam, but Hope maneuvered himself behind Chaos and ran to the ropes and bounced off them...ONLY TO RUN INTO A DOUBLE A SPINEBUSTER! CHAOS COVERS!

1...

2...

KICK OUT!

"Damn too close right there!" Church called. "Talk about getting drilled big time! Hope nearly payed for his mistake!"

Chaos picked up Hope and picked him up onto his shoulder, readying himself before going over to one of the turnbuckles and throwing Hope off of him, hitting Snake Eyes on him! Hope staggered out of the corner as Chaos ran to the ropes and bounced off them, lifting his foot for a Big Boot to the face of Hope...

...Hope suddenly ducks it, causing Chaos to stumble forward a bit. Chaos turns around...

...RUNS INTO A PELE' KICK FROM HOPE!"

"PELE! PELE!" Church screamed. "Hope hit the Pele out of nowhere and he got all of it!"

"Damn that hedgehog to hell!" Sarge exclaimed. "Why can't he understand that he's no match for a god!"

Chaos fell to the ground in a heap as Hope laid on his stomach, attempting to regain himself. He slowly got back to his feet, and dragged him to the center of the ring, and placed Chaos on his knees. Once readied, Hope bounced off the ropes and ran towards...

BUT CHAOS SHOOTS UP AND HITS A BLACK HOLE SLAM!

"Now it's Chaos' turn to come out of nowhere!" Church stated.

"Yes, put this one in the books!" Sarge exclaimed. "Count with me everybody!"

Chaos covers with a leg hooked.

HOPE GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT 2.9!

"Hope's still alive!" Church stated. "Hope isn't going to go down that easy!"

"Stupid, little punk." Sarge grumbled.

Chaos was getting more frustrated and he decided to finish things once and for all! Chaos picked up Hope and lifted him up onto his shoulders Fireman's Carry style, and the crowd booed loudly as they knew what was coming! Chaos smirked darkly at the crowd before him before spinning Hope off by his legs...

...AND HOPE SUDDENLY LANDS ON HIS FEET! Chaos turns towards him ONLY TO GET A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SKULL! The violet/black hedgehog fell to a knee, completely in a daze. Hope took advantage by bouncing off the ropes, leaping towards Chaos...

...AND NAILS THE SHINING WIZARD! THE CROWD CHEERS AS CHAOS FALLS DOWN!

"SHINING WIZARD, BABY!" Church exclaimed. "Chaos just got his clocked clean big time!"

"Dammit, that wasn't supposed to happen!" Sarge shouted.

"Like hell it wasn't!" Church replied.

Hope with the cover!

1...

2...

CHAOS KICKS OUT AT 2.9!

Hope dragged Chaos over to a corner and proceeded to climb the turnbuckle. When he reached the top turnbuckle, Chaos suddenly shot up to his feet and swfitly climbed the turnbuckle, meeting Hope up there! Chaos headbutted him a few times before stepping up onto the top ropes and grabbing Hope, but Hope suddenly begins to punch him in the gut, buckling him! Hope pushes Chaos off the turnbuckle!

But Chaos rolls through and gets back to his feet...

ONLY FOR HOPE TO LAND A DIVING CROSSBODY ON HIM!

1...

2...

CHAOS KICKS OUT AT 2.9!

"Damn, another close nearfall!" Church exclaimed. "That Crossbody was just picture perfect! Chaos is getting pummeled right now!"

"This is going against all logic right now!" Sarge exclaimed. "Why has the world gone topsy-turvy?!"

The two scramble to their feet and rush at each other, with Chaos nearly taking Hope's head off with a HUGE clothesline. Chaos with the cover! 1...2...Kick out! Chaos' frustration continued to rise as he glared hatefully at Hope before picking him up and whipping him into the ropes, and lifts him up when he comes back, but Hope suddenly wraps his arms around Chaos' head and plants him with a DDT! The crowd goes wild as Hope gets to his feet and gets on the apron, climbing to the top turnbuckle and standing on it. He raises his hands once more Macho-Man Style, leaps off...

...AND DRIVES DOWN THE ELBOW WITH THE DIVE FROM HEAVEN ON CHAOS!

"Hope just drove his elbow across the unquestionably black heart of Chaos!" Church stated.

"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" Sarge exclaimed.

Hope hooks the leg!

1...

2...

CHAOS GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT 2.99!

"YES! THANK YOU CHAOS FOR KICKING OUT! Sarge shouted. "YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY!"

Hope's frustration began to mount as well as he picked up Chaos and applied a three-quarter facelock on him! He then leaped up and backflipped himself over, still holding Chaos' head for a Shiranui!

...

...

BUT CHAOS WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND HOPE'S HEAD AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A STUNNER!

"FUCK! DID CHAOS JUST TURN A FUCKIN' SHIRANUI INTO A STUNNER IN MID-AIR?!" Church exclaimed. "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"

"AHA, CHALK UP VICTORY NUMBER FOUR FOR CHAOS!" Sarge exclaimed.

Hope bounces from the impact onto his back and Chaos makes the scrambled cover!

1...

2...

HOPE GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT 2.999!

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Church exclaimed. "HOW THE FUCK DID HOPE KICK OUT OF THAT?!"

"WHY IN THE DAMN HELL IS HOPE DEFYING LOGIC?!" Sarge cried out. "WHY, WORLD, WHY?!"

Chaos cried out in frustration as he gripped his quills tightly. Glaring hatefully at Hope, he picked up the white hedgehog onto his shoulders once again, looking for Ragnarok again! But Hope suddenly squirms in his grasp and lands behind Chaos, pushing him into the ropes! Chaos stops himself at the ropes and when he turns around, Hope rushes at him and Chaos bends forward to Back Body Drop him over the top rope!

But WAIT! Hope lands on the apron as Chaos staggers forward, unaware of Hope's position. The white hedgehog readies himself...

Chaos turns around...Hope leaps up onto the top rope...

SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Chaos just got a mouthful of forearm straight to the face!" Church exclaimed.

"WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!" Sarge cried. "WHY?!"

Hope got up and dragged Chaos over to the nearest corner and once he did, he slowly made his way to the top. Once on the top turnbuckle, he stood on top of it, looking down at Chaos as he sized him up. Once ready, Hope threw his arms back, and leaped off the turnbuckle!

HOPE SPINS 630 DEGREES IN MID-AIR! SHINING HOPE 630 (630 Senton)!

WAIT! CHAOS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! HOPE LANDS ON HIS FEET!

"WOAH!" Church shouted. "CHAOS ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SHINING HOPE 630! YET SOMEHOW HOPE LANDED ON HIS FEET!"

"STOP DEFYING LOGIC, YOU STUPID HEDGEHOG!" Sarge exclaimed.

"HOW THE HELL IS HE DEFYING LOGIC, YOU IDIOT!" Church shouted back.

Hope leaps up from the landing and rolls through to his feet and rushes at Chaos! But the violet/black hedgehog suddenly lifts him up onto his shoulders!

Chaos spins Hope out by the legs! Grabs his head...

CHAOS DRIVES HOPE DOWN WITH RAGNAROK!

"SHIT! RAGNAROK!" Church cursed. "THIRD'S TIME THE CHARM! HOPE GETS DRILLED!"

"YES! GOODNIGHT, SWEET HEDGEHOG!" Sarge cheered.

Hope went limp on the mat as Chaos turned him over and hooks the leg!

"Hope the Hedgehog..." Sarge began.

1...

2...

HOPE GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT 2.9999!

"You Just Got...WHAT THE FUCK?!" Sarge suddenly screamed.

"SON OF A BITCH, I DON"T BELIEVE IT!" Church exclaims. "HOPE ACTUALLY KICKED OUT OF RAGNAROK! HOPE JUST FLAT OUT REFUSES TO DIE!"

"FUCK! JUST DAMN THAT HEDGEHOG AND HIS ABILITY TO DEFY LOGIC!" Sarge cursed.

Chaos sits up in absolute shock as a look of disbelief crosses his face. The hedgehog pulled at his head quills crying out in pure anger and frustration, pounding the mat several times! He turned his attention to the downed Hope, glaring with a spite that could drop a person dead before angrily picking him up and placing him between his legs!

"Uh oh, it may be time for a Ride to Hell!" Church stated.

With the expression of a crazed man pissed beyond belief, Chaos wrapped his arms around Hope and lifted him up onto his shoulders...

...ONLY FOR HOPE ROLL THROUGH! HOPE ROLLS UP CHAOS IN A SUNSET FLIP PIN!"

"HOLY CRAP! HOPE'S JUST ROLLED UP CHAOS!" Church shouted.

"WHAT?! NO!" Sarge shouted.

1...

2...

CHAOS KICKS OUT AT 2.999!

"SHIT, ANOTHER KICK OUT!" Church exclaimed.

"DAMMIT, THAT DAMN BLUE SYMPATHIZER NEARLY STOLE ONE!" Sarge shouted.

Both hedgehogs scramble to their feet on adrenaline, and Hope suddenly lifts his foot up for the Dose of Light (Sweet Chin Music)...

...ONLY FOR CHAOS TO DUCK OUT OF THE WAY! HOPE KICKS THE REF'S HEAD OFF!

"SHIT!" Church exclaimed. "Hope damn near took the ref's head off! That ref is completely out!"

"Nighty-night ref, we will miss you for all your contributions...NOT!" Sarge shouted. "That's what you get for not giving Chaos the win!"

Hope looks on in horror as the ref lies across the mat, shocked at what just happened. Hope turns around, only to get lifted onto Chaos' shoulders AND GETS DRIVEN DOWN WITH A SECOND RAGNAROK! CHAOS WITH THE COVER!

"RAGNAROK FOR THE SECOND TIME!" Church shouted. "THAT'S GOTTA BE IT!"

"But there's no ref, dammit!" Sarge cried out. "Dammit, you stupid pin-striped buffoon! Wake up and count those shoulders down or suffer my Red wrath!"

Chaos kept the cover on Hope for a few moments, the ref not moving a muscle. Chaos broke the pin and looked at the ref in disbelief before crying out in frustration at not being able to win this match. Deciding to just f*ck it, Chaos grabbed hold of Hope and placed him between his legs. Chaos grabbed Hope around the waist for the Ride to Hell...

...WHEN SHADOW SUDDENLY ENTERS THE RING AND DRIVES A STEEL CHAIR INTO THE SKULL OF CHAOS!

"SON OF A BITCH!" Church shouted. "IT'S SHADOW, WHERE THE HELL DID HE COME FROM?!"

"DAMMIT! NOT YOU!" Sarge cried out. "STAY OUT OF THIS! THIS MATCH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!"

"IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HIM!" Church shouted. "DON'T BE A HYPOCRITE!"

Chaos crumpled down to the mat in a heap, letting go of Hope in the process, and Shadow proceeded to strike drive the steel chair down onto the violet/black hedgehog multiple times over and over again, the crowd cheering loudly and chanting "One More Time!" after every hit! After over ten chair shots, Shadow picked up Chaos...placed him between his legs...hooked him up...

HITS THE CHAOS NIGHTMARE ON CHAOS!

"CHAOS NIGHTMARE!" Church exclaimed. "IT'S DEJA VU! THIS IS NEARLY EXACTLY HOW CHAOS DESTROYED SHADOW LAST WEEK! NOW SHADOW'S RETURNING THE FAVOR! AND WITH THE REF OUT, THERE'S NO ONE TO STOP THIS!"

"NOOOOOOO!" Sarge cried out.

Chaos bounces off the mat onto his back and Shadow looks down at Chaos with an angry look on his face before going over to Hope and picking him up. Hope realizes it's Shadow and the two look at each other before the black hedgehog points to Chaos and says "He's all yours, man." Shadow then exits the ring and walks up the ramp, Hope looking at him before a devious smirk crossed his face, and he began to drag Chaos' body over to a corner, and proceeded to climb it!

"Hope's going to take the advice of Shadow!" Church stated. "Hope's going to take advantage of a beaten Chaos!"

"This isn't right! THIS ISN'T RIGHT!" Sarge shouted.

Hope stands tall on the turnbuckle, looking down at Chaos before turning his gaze to Shadow, who was now looking at the scene from the stage. With a smirk, Hope suddenly performed a crotch-chop to the absolute delight of the fans, before jumping off...

...Spinning 630 degrees in the air...

SHINING HOPE 630 CONNECTS!

"HOPE JUST TOLD CHAOS TO SUCK IT AND NAILED HIS 630!" Church shouted.

"NO! FIGHT, CHAOS, FIGHT!" Sarge shouted.

Hope covers Chaos and hooks the leg, and as he does so, the ref finally comes to and slowly counts the shoulders!

1...

2...

3!

"NO!" Sarge screamed.

"Here is your winner, the "Warrior of Light" Hope the Hedgehog!"

Hope rolled off of Chaos and got to his knees, panting as the adrenaline began to wear off, slowly raising an arm in a sign of victory. He turned his attention to the still-present Shadow as he slowly got to his feet. Shadow continued to gaze at Hope with his stoic expression, but the white hedgehog smirked and gave a thumbs up to Shadow, shouting "I owe you one, pal!" Hope then walked over to a corner and climbed it, throwing his hands out to a side in a pose to the cheers of the crowd.

"What an epic match!" Church exclaimed. "After a constant back-and-forth from these two, Hope takes the lead in his series against Chaos with a fourth victory after a Shining Hope 630, with a little callback to his D-Hedgeration X days mixed in!"

"Oh shut up, dirty Blue, let's call this what it is, complete bullshit!" Sarge stated. "Shadow came in and screwed Chaos out of this match! How dare he wrong a god like that!"

"Hey, Chaos did the exact same thing to Shadow last week!" Church retorted. "In my opinion, Chaos got exactly what was coming to him dude, so quit your whining!"

As Hope continued to celebrate, Chaos slowly came to his senses and dragged himself to the nearby ropes, leaning himself against them. His eyes finally saw Hope celebrating, then turned towards Shadow on the ramp. When he realized what had just happened, his expression turned into one of pure rage as he practically seethed at the black hedgehog. For the first time since appearing, Shadow broke out of his stoic look, flashing a smirk of satisfaction towards Chaos before making his way to the back.

"How dare that damn hedgehog mock Chaos like that!" Sarge shouted. "I should've known he was a Blue sympathizer! Chaos did not deserve this!"

"Once again, last week, Sarge, duh." Church replied. "But damn if Chaos isn't completely and utterly pissed. He looks about ready to kill! Even I know he ain't going to take this lying down one bit!"

Hope got off the turnbuckle and saw Chaos on the ground leaning against the ropes, and the white hedgehog chuckled lightly saying to him "Better luck next time, Chaos." Hope then proceeded to leave the ring and up the rampway, his fist raised in victory as he left Chaos to seethe in the ring. Hope turned around on the stage and threw his arms out to the side for one final pose, with Chaos saying to himself "That's how you want to play, Shadow...Fine by me."

A/N: First part of Week 2 is finally here! I have to say, I feel kind of proud of this chapter, mostly because of the epic match I had made with Hope and Chaos! I felt I had created the best match yet in this UCA story, and I hope you all feel the same way as well. Storylines were advanced in this chapters, matches made for Royal Reckoning, and our main event was set up for the week! Pretty exciting, no?

Next chapter will feature the return of UCA Rewind and feature another moment in the history of UCA. If you guys have any cool ideas considering the history of UCA and what should be shown on UCA Rewind, just let me know via PM or review, and we'll discuss. I'm always open for suggestions, just make sure not to swamp me or anything.

Also, any ideas for storylines, rivalries, segments, that sort of thing, let me know. Like I said, I'm always open for suggestions and always listen to my viewers the best I can while maintaining my vision of UCA.

I will see you all next time, and hopefully keep up my momentum here! See you in the next chapter of UCA!
