Universal Character Association: Week 5

---

The Titantron showed the backstage hallways where we see Wolfgang walked down them, a big ol' smirk on his face as he talked to himself.

"Hah, that showed that Four-Eye freak just who was dealing with!" Wolfgang said, chuckling at what he did not long ago. "He thought he could just some come up to me and take me down because he's some hot-shot rookie? Well apparently, he didn't know that I am freakin' Wolfgang! The Ultimate Bully! The Alpha Male! And what did he get for thinking he could actually stand up to me? A Wolf's Kick right to the jaw, and his head sent to the moon! These weenies never learn, do they? They never realize they can't stop us Bullies. Oh well, I made sure Four-Eyes learned his lesson, and showed that I am back, and that I am here to once again dominate UCA!"

"I...beg to differ...Mr. Wolfgang..."

Wolfgang stopped in his tracks and turned to the left, and a man with a wrinkled face came onto the screen, wearing a blue business suit, a black tie, and had a crew cut with brown hair. He held a suitcase in his hand as he adjusted his tie, Wolfgang just raising an eyebrow at the sight of the man.

"Who the hell are you?" Wolfgang questioned.

"I...am Mr. Freeman's...'employer' you could say...I am the one who...gave UCA access to Mr. Freeman's services..." The man answered. "And since Mr Freeman...is more of the silent type...I can also be considered his manager...My name...well, I am known simply...as the G-Man."

"Well, G-Maaaaaaaannnn..." Wolfgang drawled out mockingly. "I hope your little 'employee' just enjoyed getting his head kicked off by me! See, he just learned what happens when you decide to mess with a Bully! And hopefully you learned that lesson just as well from watching the experience. Then again, was the result ever in doubt? Could anything else have happened to some upstart like him? Of course not. I have put UCA on notice as the Alpha Male is taking back his kingdom of UCA!"

"I find what you say...very laughable, Mr. Wolfgang..." G-Man said, rubbing his fingers together. "For what I saw out there was Mr. Freeman matching you...move for move...Mr. Freeman really impressed out there against a veteran such as yourself...and not only did he impress...he, well...he had you beat. Yes, he had you set up for the Resonance Cascade...once hit, your fate would have been sealed. You knew it was coming...and you also knew could do anything to avoid...except one thing. So you low-blowed him to make sure you didn't get pinned...you low-blowed him...because you knew you were beat."

Wolfgang's face took on an angered expression as he fired back. "You must really be losing it, old man! He did not have me beat dammit! I was just letting him get a fake advantage on me to give him false hope! And that low blow? I did that because I could do whatever the hell I want! I was the one who stood tall in the end, and that's all that matters you damn idiot! THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!"

"But technically, Mr. Freeman technically won the match, regardless of how he did...so in reality, Mr. Freeman won this..." G-Man stated matter-of-factly, causing Wolfgang to grit his teeth. "You Bullies...such a dime a dozen...all the same...nothing really special...your career has been good...but anyone could duplicate it...anyone could get it with the help of the men you have at your disposal...but Mr. Freeman...he has SO MUCH potential...more potential than you could ever hope to have. And he has realized a great deal of that potential in his life...with even more potential lying asleep in him. He has taken on the greatest of horrors all by himself...and conquered them all. That speaks a great deal...of how much different he is than you. And after seeing his match with you, I can say this with great certainty..."

G-Man stared down Wolfgang in the eye with a subtle smile on his face before speaking.

"Mr. Freeman...is better than you...in every conceivable way..."

Wolfgang's eyes gained a serious rage as he snarled down at G-Man. "Are you really serious?...You CAN'T be serious?! HIM...better than ME?!...THAT'S THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF BULLSHIT I EVER HEARD! You're saying that I don't compare to Four-Eyes?! That I, a former World Champion, don't compare to damn rookie?! CRAP I SAY! That weenie couldn't be better than me even if he trained for twenty years! What I just heard you say is the biggest damn insult I ever heard!"

"Yet...I believe the fans themselves agree with me...don't they?" G-Man questioned.

The crowd immediately responded to G-Man's query with chants of "FREEMAN! FREEMAN! FREEMAN!" that could be heard from where they were. Wolfgang snarled at G-Man once again.

"Mr. Wolfgang...it is simply fact...Mr. Freeman is better than you...and if you don't see it now...you will soon enough..." G-Man stated.

Wolfgang shook his head in utter contempt as he turned away from G-Man briefly. "How dare you insinuate such crap to me?! The fans think he's better than me?! Well the fans are stupid as hell for thinking that!" Wolfgang turned to face G-Man. "And you are..."

Wolfgang was cut short when he saw that G-Man was nowhere to be seen! He had disappeared with a sound or a trace! Wolfgang was stunned before he began to look around himself, trying to figure where the business man had gone to. When G-Man was nowhere to be seen, Wolfgang just scoffed and brushed off the strange occurrence.

"Ah, who cares where that weenie went to anyway?" Wolfgang waved off. "But better than me? That four-eyed freak? Just freakin' crap in my view. Just freakin' crap. I can't believe such a thing was suggested to my face. And if these fans actually agree with that G-Man...then I'll guess have to bring them back to reality in no time at all."

---

The screen changed to the interview area, where we see Donut with a mic in hand and ready to interview.

"Donut here, here to vring you happiness and smiles among all the tension here on the Path to Final Clash." Donut said."I mean seriously, why must everything be so tense and serious? There should be laughter, and more tea parties. Well, anyway, I like to introduce to you all, the NEW UCA Cruiserweight Champion of the World, TIDUS!"

The crowd exploded into loud cheers as Tidus came onto the screen, Cruiseri\weight Title over around his shoulder and armpit and a big smile on his face.

"First off Tidus, congratulations on winning the title!" Donut said.

"Thanks Donut! Big moment me for to finally win this title and finally call myself champion!" Tidus grinned.

"So Tidus, you finally won the title you've been chasing after for quite awhile!" Donut stated. "Your Ladder Match was praised as one of the best matches on a very stacked up card! You have stated many times that winning the Cruiserweight Title was your first step towards greatness. So now that you have taken that step, what's next for you?"

"What's next for me, huh?" Tidus repeated, adjusting his title. "Well, I've made it pretty clear that I want to surpass my father in every sense. And winning this title right here..." Tidus patted his title proudly. "...was my first step into doing just that. So what's the next step? Simple: be the best damn Cruiserweight Champion I can possibly can be! I mean, it's been said before by many people: it's hard to become a champion, but it's even HARDER to remain Champion. And there are still some people out there that claim that my Ladder Match wasn't as 'radical' as they thought it would be, that I don't deserve this title. Well, I am determined to prove those critics wrong by having the best Cruiserweight Title reign in recent history! Certainly better than that stupid Toad's was. This reign, this championship means a hell of lot to me, and I sure as hell ain't letting it go any time soon because I know this reign could define me in my future years. If I lose this title quickly, then it won't mean a damn thing in the end, and I sure as hell won't let that scenario happen! This is my time people, and this is only the beginning of legacy in UCA! By the time I retire, people will remember as one of the greatest Cruiserweight Champions of all..."

Tidus stopped mid-sentence as he caught sight of something...and Toad came onto the screen facing Tidus, loud boos emanating from the crowd. The two stared each other intensely until Toad clapped his hands in a sarcastic applause.

"Congratulations Tidus...congratulations..." Toad said, his eyes never leaving Tidus'. "You are the new Cruiserweight Champion. You managed to beat me in the Ladder Match and get yourself a title. Very impressive indeed. You finally reached the mountaintop you desired to reach for so long...too bad you're going to fall off that mountaintop in no time at all. You said that its harder to remain champion than to become champion? Well, I don't think you have what it takes to remain a champion, to BE a champion. You got your feel-good moment, you got the one victory of your career that will get you a title, but mark my words, this little mistake of a reign will be mercifully ended soon, because you can't be a champion like I was. I held that title for nearly five months, FIVE MONTHS, longer than anyone ever thought I would hold it. I was a TRUE champion, more of a champion than you'll ever be! Your reign will be so pitiful, people will want to forget it the moment it ends!"

"Heh, why am I not surprised you're here to try and trash me and my reign just as it begins?" Tidus smirked. "Seriously, I would've been surprised if you HADN'T come here and tried it. But you? A TRUE champion? Hah! That is such a laugh man! Really, you know how to tell a joke! I mean, yeah, you held the title for a good time, but you were B-O-R-I-N-G! BORING! Seriously, people were freakin' TIRED of you as the Cruiserweight Champion! By the time our Ladder Match came about, people were BEGGING for me to win this title from you! And I did! I saved everyone from the crap known as your reign! And I will be a better champion than you were at least! You can say my reign will suck, Brandon Whitaker of ROH can say I don't deserve this, but no matter what you two or anyone else says, I am the Cruiserweight Champion of the World, and I will prove you all wrong in the end like I always do!"

"You may be champion now, but you sure as hell ain't going to be that way for long!" Toad shouted angrily. "You know why?! Because I got a rematch clause, and I am using it NEXT WEEK!" The crowd exploded into cheers as the sound of that. "I would do it tonight, but we both know we're not in top physical condition to truly do a title match. Plus, I don't want to regain my title in front of all these idiotic animals, would I? Would actually devalue the meaning of my eventually title win." The crowd booed intensely at those remarks. "So what do you say, Tidus? Next week, you and me for the Cruiserweight Title."

"Toad, I got NO PROBLEM defending this title against you next week." Tidus grinned. "It'll be nice to get a title defense under my belt so quickly, and beating you again will be a plus for me for sure! Get ready for next week, little Toad, because you are getting your ass whipped all over the arena just like last night! And we all know how much you enjoy getting beaten down for our enjoyment!"

"Hell no, Tidus! I am not going to be your whipping boy! Next week, I am going to get my title back and make you look like the fool you are!" Toad exclaimed.

The two rivals stared each other down intensely as Donut watched from the sidelines, and commented. "Yep...this place has too much tension...where are the tea parties when you need them?"

---

"Oh boy, do we got ourselves one hell of a match next week or what?!" Church said. "Toad cashes in on his rematch clause and will face Tidus next week for the Cruiserweight Title!"

"I hope Tidus enjoys having that Cruiserweight Title for the short time he can, because Toad is taking it back next week!" Sarge stated. "Tidus got his moment last night, but it won't last long!"

"Toad is definitely one crafty cookie who will do anything it takes to get his title back!" Church said. "But Tidus just won the title, and he sure as hell ain't going to lose it so quickly!"

"Tidus was only able to win the title because it was a Ladder Match!" Sarge stated. "Next time, it will be a regular match, and that will be advantage Toad!"

"We'll see about that, because I think Tidus will be on his way his successful title defense next week!"

("Firewater" by Sinister Growley)

Jason came out with his Intercontinental Title draped over his shoulder, the crowd booing his very presence. Jason just sneered at the fans before raising his title into the air with one hand. He draped it back over his shoulder before making his way down the ramp, and entering the ring. He looked out to the crowd before once again raising his title high in the middle of the ring.

"The following contest is scheduled for one-fall. Introducing first, from South Island, weighing in at 234 lbs., he is the UCA Intercontinental Champion, Jason Krueger!"

"Well Jason has got new theme music to his name, and it's coming off a successful title defense against Pit last night." Church said. "AND breaking Pit's neck no less, which was totally uncalled for!"

"Such a thing should make Jason happy, but he's not!" Sarge stated. "Know why? Because he didn't win the Rumble, all thanks to one stupid little goody two-shoes hedgehog, Hope! He got back at Hope, and he's going to make his friend, Shadow, pay as well for the wrong done!"

"Jason's just being a sore loser here!" Church said. "He lasted nearly 50 minutes in the match, he should be proud, not angry! In any case, Shadow will have his hands full with an angered Jason!"

("Voices" by Rev Theory)

The crowd exploded into loud cheers as Shadow came out with his stoic, serious expression on his face. He stood onstage staring down Jason in the ring before slowly making his way down the ramp in a methodical manner. He reached the ring and walked up the steps, entering the ring. He walked across the ring, eyeing Jason as he did before climbing up a corner and staring out into the crowd.

"And his opponent, from Space Colony ARK, weighing in at 231 lbs., "The Ultimate Life Form" Shadow the Hedgehog!"

"Last night, Shadow went to war with Chaos in a very physical match-up, but in the end lost to the God of Destruction!" Church said. "He managed to get a small measure of payback by eliminating Chaos in the Rumble! And now, he's going to face Jason tonight!"

"Hmmm, let's see...you got a guy who lost last night...against a guy who won last night...what could the result here possibly be?" Sarge questioned sarcastically. "Why it's obvious! The guy who won last night wins here!"

"Jason may have the momentum, but when it comes to Shadow, you can never count out this tough hedgehog!" Church said.

The two stood off in respective corners and the ref rang the bell to start the match. The two circled each other in the ring for a few moments before meeting each other in a lock-up. The two tried to push each other back only to create a stalemate between each other. They broke the lock-up and Jason went for a right, but Shadow ducked it. Jason turned around and Shadow dealt several rights to his skull. Shadow kicked Jason in the gut, and hit a Suplex on him. Jason got to his knees where he was kicked in the chest by Shadow a few times before being picked up and whipped into the corner. Shadow ran at Jason, but Jason caught him with an elbow. The Champ ran at Shadow, but the hedgehog caught him with a Snap Powerslam! Cover! 1...2...Jason kicks out! Shadow picked up Jason, but the Champ suddenly punched Shadow in the gut, followed by a European Uppercut! Jason grabbed Shadow and landed a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Jason mounted Shadow and began delivering a flurry of fists!

"And there's the viciousness of Jason's coming into play!" Church said. "Seriously, this psycho can be flat out brutal whenever he wants to be!"

"Yeah, and that mean streak will definitely put Shadow on an even higher plateau than the Ultimate Life Form!" Sarge said.

Jason picked up Shadow and whipped him into the ropes. The Champ caught Shadow with a Back Elbow when he bounced off them, then bounced off the ropes himself and landed a Leg Drop across the throat before making a cover! 1...2...Shadow kicks out! Jason wasted no time in applying a Headlock, and that worked for about five seconds until Shadow stood up with Jason still holding on. Shadow pushed Jason into the ropes, and Jason bounced off them and nailed Shadow with a Shoulder Block. Jason bounced off the ropes, and Shadow rolled onto his stomach and Jason leaped over him. Shadow stood up as Jason came back to him and went for a Hip Toos. Jason remained on the ground though, and went for a clothesline! Shadow ducked it and quickly nailed an Edge-O-Matic on Jason! Jason rolled away and got to his knees, but was promptly kicked in the skull by Shadow!

"And Shadow takes back control with a brutal kick to the skull!" Church said. "Jason wants to get vicious? Shadow can get just as vicious as he can!"

"As much as I am loathe to admit it, I must agree with you, dirty Blue!" Sarge stated. "He's considered a badass by many, and that's one of the reasons why!"

Shadow stomped on Jason several times before picking up the champ and nailing a Gutbuster on him! Jason coughed a bit in pain before being covered by Shadow! 1...2...Kick out by Jason! Shadow picked up Jason and whipped him into the corner, and then ran at him and nailed a Shoulder Ram to the gut! Shadow then pulled Jason out of the corner and nailed a Reverse Atomic Drop on him! Shadow then nailed a Reverse STO on the IC Champ! Jason rolled over to the ropes and pulled himself against them, and Shadow clotheslined him over the ropes and to the floor. Shadow waited as Jason slowly got back to his feet, and he bounced off the ropes to Jason. He dived through the ropes...

...AND JASON SIDESTEPS! SHADOW CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE!

"HOLY CRAP! Shadow just went splat against the barricade! High-risk did not compute! I repeat: did not compute!" Church said.

"Hah! That'll teach Shadow a lesson: hedgehogs don't fly!" Sarge said.

Shadow lied on the floor holding his head in immense pain before slowly getting up, but was grabbed Jason and thrown into face-first into the steel steps. Shadow lied face-first across the ground in agony before being picked up by Jason and gets planted with a Reverse DDT on the outside! Jason picked up Shadow and threw him into the ring. Jason got on the apron and climbed to the top turnbuckle. He waited until Shadow and and dived off...

...and hit a Diving Double Ax Handle on Shadow!

"Jason with the Double Sledge to the skull of Shadow!" Church said. "That ain't going to do any favors for the head!"

"It sure won't, but it will do WONDERS for Jason's eventual victory!" Sarge said.

Jason drops down for the cover!

Shadow kicks out!

Jason wasted no time in getting up and dropping several Elbows across the chest of Shadow before picking him up and landing a Back Suplex on the hedgehog. Jason then wrapped his legs around the head of Shadow and locked in a Headscissors. Jason tightened the grip of his legs around Shadow's skull and began to land elbows across the temple of Shadow. He kept the hold locked in, but Shadow would not be deterred. Slowly, Shadow rolled him and Jason over to their stomach, but Jason still had on the Headscissors. Slowly but surely, Shadow pushed himself off the mat...

...and began to stand up with Jason on his shoulders! Shadow was slowly getting to a vertical base with all his might...

...but Jason gets off his shoulders and lands behind him! Jason grabs Shadow AND HITS A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX!

"Shadow just displayed some freakish strength, but Jason was quick to react and dropped Shadow on his head and neck!" Church said.

"And now Shadow is done for people!" Sarge said.

Jason with the bridged pin!

Shadow kicks out!

"No, he is not done for! Not enough done to him!" Church said.

Jason picked up Shadow and placed him against the ropes, and began choking him against the middle ropes. The ref admonished him and began counting. 1...2...3...4...Jason let go of Shadow and left him draped over them. Jason ran at the adjacent ropes and bounced off them, hitting a Crossbody as Shadow was draped across the ropes. Jason picked up Shadow and quickly placed him into the corner and then onto the top turnbuckle, He nailed a few rights to Shadow's face before climbing up there with him. After a few more shots to the face, Jason grabbed Shadow...

...stood tall on the turnbuckle along with Shadow...

...JASON HITS A SUPERPLEX ON SHADOW!

"Jason just nailed one hell of a Superplex on the Ultimate Life Form!" Church stated. "He hurt himself to deal even more damage to Shadow!"

"With a mind as unpredictable as Jason's, it's not surprising he would do just that!" Sarge stated.

Jason arched his back in pain before going over to Shadow and covering him!

...

Shadow kicks out!

Jason just growled at the kick out before picking up Shadow and whipping him into the ropes. Jason went for a Back Body Drop as Shadow bounced back, but Shadow caught him with a kick. Jason stood up from the impact, and Shadow bounced off the ropes once more for a clothesline, but Jason ducked it. Shadow turned around got a Jawbreaker from the IC Champ. Shadow was stunned and Jason kicked him in the gut. With Shadow doubled over, Jason grabbed him for the Brink of Insanity. He lifted him up...

...but Shadow remained rooted to the ground! Suddenly, Shadow lifted Jason up instead and hit a Suplex Stunner on him! Jason rolled over to the apron and stood on it, but was kicked in the gut through the ropes by Shadow. Shadow grabbed Jason's head and pulled his body through the ropes until Jason's feet were on the ropes...

...Jason suddenly got off the ropes and Back Body Dropped Shadow over the ropes! Shadow landed on the apron and Jason turned around, allowing Shadow to grab his head and nail a Hotshot against the ropes. Jason fell to the mat before stumbling to his feet as Shadow reentered the ring and ran at the Champ, and hit a Swinging Neckbreaker on Jason followed by a cover!

...

Jason kicks out!

"Shadow is gaining some momentum here!" Church said. "He's not doubt looking to get back on the winning track, and he won't let Jason stop him!"

"Too bad, because look for the Messiah of the Neckbreaker to put Shadow down for good!" Sarge proclaimed.

"Messiah of the Neckbreaker...?...Really?" Church deadpanned.

"Jason came up with the idea! I thought it was the best idea since Grifball!" Sarge stated; Church facepalmed.

Shadow picked up Jason and whipped him into the ropes, and went for a clotheseline as he came back. Jason ducked it and bounced off the ropes once more, and ran into a Jumping High Knee to the face from Shadow! Shadow lifted up Jason to his feet, grabbed him by the waist, and went for a Gutwrench Suplex! Jason landed on his feet, and Shadow reacted quickly with a right hand, but Jason ducked it and kicked Shadow in the gut. He grabbed his head and turned them back-to-back...

...HANGMAN'S NECKBREAKER!

"Jason with the Neckbreaker, and ridiculous title aside, Jason really knows his Neckbreakers!" Church stated.

"And no one can deliver a more painful Neckbreaker than Jason, dirtbag!" Sarge stated.

Jason covers Shadow!

Shadow kicks out at 2.85!

Jason frowned before picking up Shadow, but the hedgehog suddenly pushed Jason into the ropes. Jason bounced off them and hit a Shoulder Block on Shadow knocking him back down. Jason sneered down at the hedgehog before bouncing off the ropes once more...

...and Shadow shot up and caught Jason with a Flapjack! Jason held his chest in pain as Shadow stood up and stalked the Champ. Jason stumbled to his feet and turned around...

..AND DUCKS THE CHAOS BLAST! Shadow stumbled forward before turning around, and was lifted onto Jason's shoulders! He tried for the Absolute Destruction, but Shadow struggled in his grip and landed in front of Jason! He kicked Jason in the gut before placing between his legs and hooking the arms...

...Jason spun out of it and grabbed Shadow arms and tried to bring him down for the Total Corruption! Shadow stumbled across the ring a bit as he kept to a knee for a bit as Jason continued to try and pull him down. Shadow managed to get up to his feet and threw Jason into the ropes...

...AND CAUGHT HIM WITH A SIT-OUT SPINEBUSTER!

"Shadow busts the spine of Jason, and now he's got him covered!" Church said.

"Jason, for all the Reds in the world, please kick out!" Sarge begged.

Shadow has Jason pinned!

...

Jason kicks out at 2.65!

Shadow picked up Jason and wasted no time in dealing a HUGE Knife Edge Chop across his chest! The crowd chanted "WOOOO!" as the chop echoed across the arena, and Shadow nailed a few Knife Edge Chops on Jason backing him into the ropes. He tried to whip the Champ, but Jason twisted himself mid-whip to face Shadow. Shadow went for a clothesline, but the Champ ducked it and quickly hit a Neckbreaker Slam on Shadow! Shadow stumbled up to his feet, and got a Knee Smash to the skull from Jason! Shadow stumbled back into the ropes completely out of it, and Jason pulled him to the middle of the ring, lifted him up...

...AND NAILED HIM WITH THE BRINK OF INSANITY! Jason with the cover!

"JASON GOES TO THE BRINK OF INSANITY!" Church stated.

"And Shadow..." Sarge began.

...

...

SHADOW KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...Ah dammit!" Sarge cursed.

Jason got angry and wasted no time in grabbing Shadow's arm and trying to lock in the Total Corruption! Shadow fought however and pulled himself over to the ropes! He got a foot on the ropes just as Jason locked in the Total Corruption! The ref began to count Jason! 1...2...3...4...Jason let go of the hold, displeased with Shadow getting to the ropes. Jason nailed a few elbows across the back of Shadow's head before backing up a bit and waiting as Shadow got to his feet. Jason ran at Shadow with a full head of steam...

...Shadow caught Jason's foot, blocking the Bicycle Kick! Jason looked stunned until pulled out the other leg, causing Jason to fall onto his back. Shadow dragged him to near the corner, and fell back, launching Jason face-first into the turnbuckle! Jason stumbled out of the corner, and was grabbed by Shadow, set up...

...AND NAILED WITH A STRAIGHT-JACKET NECKBREAKER!

"Shadow with the Straight-Jacket Neckbreaker, straight from his UWE playbook!" Church stated.

"HEY! You can't use Neckbreakers on the Messiah of Neckbreakers! That's not logical!" Sarge stated.

Shadow hooks the leg!

JASON KICKS OUT!

Shadow frowned at the kick out before picking up Jason and placing him between his legs and grabbing him by the waist. He lifted him up for a Powerbomb, but Jason used the momentum to land on his feet in front of Shadow. He kicked the hedgehog in the gut and bounced off the ropes for a clothesline, but Shadow ducked it and grabbed the arm for an Arm-Trap Swinging Neckbreaker! Jason spun out of it though and pushed Shadow into the ropes. Shadow bounced off them and into a vicious Forearm Smash from Jason. He grabbed the stunned Shadow and lifted him up into a Gutwrench over his shoulder...

...GUTWRENCH ELEVATED NECKBREAKER CONNECTS!

"Oh man, Jason pulls out a new Neckbreaker from his arsenal, and Shadow pays for it!" Church stated.

"No one knows his Neckbreakers like Jason!" Sarge said.

SHADOW KICKS OUT!

Jason stood up and hit a Leg Drop across the neck of Shadow before picking him up to his feet. He dragged him to the center of the ring and lifted him onto his shoulders. He went for the Absolute Destruction, but Shadow landed behind Jason. Jason turned around, and Shadow went for a Double Knee Jawbreaker...

...Jason caught him in mid-air! Shadow was stunned as Jason backed up to the corner and dropped the hedgehog face-first into the turnbuckle. Shadow stumbled out of the corner, and was grabbed by Jason from behind who nailed a Dragon Suplex on him! Jason smirked as he waited for Shadow to get up, and when he did, Jason grabbed his head for the Mental Breakdown...

...Shadow reversed and turned it into a Half-Nelson Bulldog! Jason stumbled to his feet holding his face, and was lifted onto Shadow's shoulders and hit with a Samoan Drop! Shadow covered Jason!

...

JASON KICKS OUT AT 2.73!

"Shadow's back in control and he just got a nearfall off that Samoan Drop!" Church stated. "Is Shadow moments away from taking the victory?"

"Stop being delusional, dirty Blue! Like that could ever happen!" Sarge said.

Shadow got up and waited as Jason got up to his feet, revving up his foot. Once Jason was up, Shadow ran with a full head of steam and went for the Chaos Blast, but Jason ducked it once again and grabbed Shadow from behind. He pushed him into the ropes and Shadow held onto them. Jason rolled across the mat and got to his feet. Shadow ran at him, but was Dropkicked in the knee by Jason, causing him to stumble. Jason bounced off the ropes and grabbed Shadow's head...

...and Shadow threw him off, avoiding the Bulldog! Jason landed on the mat in slight pain and got up...

...AND ATE A CHAOS BLAST!

"Jason's face just met with an unforgiving Chaos Blast! This could be it for the Intercontinental Champ!" Church stated.

"No, Jason, do something! Don't let this poser win! Don't let him!" Sarge pleaded.

Shadow signaled for the end and the crowd cheered for this. Shadow picked up Jason and placed him between his legs. Shadow hooked the arms...

...CHAOS SLIDES IN AND HITS A BIG BOOT TO SHADOW'S FACE!

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Church exclaimed.

The ref rang the bell for the disqualification as Shadow fell to the mat and Chaos began to stomping the hell out of the black and red hedgehog before dropping down and began to rain a flurry of punches down on him. Chaos picked up Shadow and whipped him into the ropes, and nailed a Bicycle Kick right to the mush of Shadow as he came back. Chaos then waited as Shadow got onto this knees and booted right him in the skull!

"Dammit! What the fuck is this all about!? Church shouted. "Chaos beat Shadow last night, there's no need for this!"

"Oh yes, there is! Last night was also the night Shadow eliminated Chaos from the Rumble, dashing his chances of bringing the Era of Destruction to UCA!" Sarge stated. "And Chaos does NOT like that one bit!"

Chaos continued the beatdown of Shadow for about a minute or so before picking him up and lifting him onto his shoulders. Chaos smirked evilly as he walked around the ring for a bit, and...

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

The crowd exploded into cheers as Chaos snapped his head to the stage in surprise, and Hope came out backstage and ran down the ramp with a full head of steam.

"It's Hope! Hope the Hedgehog is here, and he's here to help his friend!" Church stated.

"And he's going to get put down by Chaos for attempting such a thing!" Sarge said.

Chaos dropped Shadow to the mat as Hope slid into the ring and threw a right at him. Hope ducked it and began laying rights into Chaos' face when he turned around, backing him to the ropes with each punch. He whipped Chaos, but Chaos reversed and whipped Hope instead into the adjacent ropes. Chaos tried for a Big Boot as Hope came back, but Hope ducked it. Hope bounced off the ropes as Chaos turned around, and nailed a Flying Forearm Smash on him! Hope fell to the mat on his back, and kipped back up Shawn Michaels-style much to the approval of the crowd! But Jason suddenly came in and clotheslined Hope down to loud boos!

"Jason's back up again, and you know Jason's not happy that Hope's out here!" Church stated.

"Jason gave Hope warning, and now Jason's going to kick Hope's ass for not heeding it!" Sarge said.

Jason growled down at Hope before picking him up and began nailing a flurry of straight fists to the skull of Hope, dazing the hedgehog greatly. Jason suddenly backed up and nailed a Big Boot to the face of Hope, dropping him down to the mat. Jason continued to growl as Hope got to his knees before bouncing off the ropes back to Hope...

...AND HOPE SPEARED HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Hope began to rain down a flurry of furious fists to the man who cost him the Rumble. After a few moments of this, Jason suddenly turned them over and began to rain down punches on Hope as well, until Hope turned them over again and began to beat the crap out of Jason now! As the two brawled, Chaos recovered and saw the brawl going on. Growling, Chaos went over to get Hope...

...BUT WAS INTERCEPTED BY SHADOW! The Ultimate Life Form punched Chaos like crazy backing him into a corner, but Chaos suddenly grabbed Shadow and threw him into the corner and instead and began punching Shadow as well!

"All hell has broken loose between these guys! Emotions are running wild, and hatred is pouring!" Church stated.

Anarchy reigned as the four brawled with one another, the crowd going crazy as they watched the fight going on before them. After at least two minutes, Hope bounced off the ropes to Jason, but Jason lifted him up onto his shoulders for an Absolute Destruction. Hope landed behind and nailed a HARD Roundhouse Kick to the skull of Jason, which sent him into the ropes! Hope then clotheslined Jason over the ropes and to the floor! Hope then saw Chaos having Shadow on his shoulders, about to execute the Ragnarok, and Hope Chop Blocked the leg of Chaos. The God of Destruction let go of Shadow and fell to a knee before getting up and turning around...AND GETS HIT WITH A CHAOS BLAST FROM SHADOW! Chaos was sent through the ropes and to the floor!

"Chaos and Jason get their heads kicked in and then sent flying out of the ring!" Church stated. "Shadow and Hope stand tall!"

"What the hell?! That wasn't supposed to happen! Someone get me a Genie, I need to correct this!" Sarge exclaimed.

The crowd cheered as Hope got on the ropes and trash-talked the two downed foes as Shadow stood intensely in the middle of the ring. Jason and Chaos managed to recover and stood up, seeing Hope and Shadow standing tall in the ring. The white and black hedgehogs dared for the two to come back in and get things started again. Jason just glared at the two, but Chaos looked about ready to kill them, he was about to get back in when...

"HEY! HEY! Stop it, all four of you!"

The four snapped their heads to the Titantron, which showed Force the Fox in his office, looking with an annoyed expression on his face. "Knock it off, all of you! Seriously, like I said before, I am NOT in the mood to deal with any of this shit! Now what I just saw what obviously an explosion of bad blood, personal grudges, and payback all together in one simple package. You four beat the crap out of each other, and it's obvious you all are not satisfied with what just happened. You all want to hurt each other even more than just now, and you know what? I'll be happy to oblige those desires of yours! And I got the perfect idea that will not make a fight that you all want happen, but do it in a way that the fans will just LOVE."

"So you guys, listen up. At Last Stand, get ready for each other, because at that event...it will be the Intercontinental Champion Jason Krueger...teaming up with the God of Destruction, Chaos the Hedgehog...

...

...AGAINST THE TEAM OF HOPE THE HEDGEHOG AND SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!"

The crowd went completely bananas as all four combatants looked at the screen in complete shock as they all realized the impliactions behind those words.

"That's right, everybody...at Last Stand, you will all see...THE ONE-NIGHT REUNION OF D-HEDGERATION X! And with that match made, please make your way to the back so we can get on with the show."

Force disappeared off the Titantron as the crowd continued to cheer wildly. Chaos looked absolutely livid at what had just been made, Jason just shook his head in absolute disdain, wondering how this had happened, and Shadow and Hope just remained stunned at the match made. They looked at each other, trying to wonder how to really make of this.

"Oh...my...God..." Church stated. "I can't believe what I just heard. At Last Stand, Jason and Chaos must team up...against Shadow and Hope. They must team up against the most degenerate duo this company has ever seen. The team that made it popular to be a degenerate again in the modern era!"

"NO! NO! NO!" Sarge shouted. "This can't be happening! D-Hedge X should be dead! Gone! Kaput! Zapped to oblivion! It should be done for good after Mario and Luigi made the team disband!"

"Well, Force decided to bring the team back for one-night only!" Church stated. "Oh man, what the hell is going to happen when two dangerous forces such as Chaos and Jason go up against one of the best teams ever in UCA? Can D-Hedgeration X truly come back? My God, Last Stand is going to be something else!"

---

The screen goes to the Titantron, which shows the backstage hallways, and Agent Tex was walking down them in a calm manner. She continued her way down the hallways until she came across the Sony Saints.

"Heh, even with Bentley's intel, I didn't see you coming at the Rumble at all." Sly smirked. "And I sure as hell didn't see the beating you gave there coming at all. You still are a badass, no doubt at it."

"How can she not be when she lifted me up and threw me into Jak with ease?" Ratchet chuckled.

"Great job at the Rumble, Tex. May not have lasted long, but definitely left an impression." Jak nodded.

"Thanks." Tex nodded. "Good to know that I can still kick ass and take names."

Tex then left the Sony Saints and continued her way down the hallways until she came across Tails, who clapped for the Freelancer.

"Got to say...I know personally now why you won the 2008 Royal Rumble." Tails stated. "Nearly speared me in two, you did. However short your time was, it was still damn impressive what you did. Good job, Tex."

"Heh, thanks Tails. Nice to see that a lot of people liked what I did last night." Tex stated.

Tex then left Tails and continued her way down the hallways, but this time came across Tifa Lockhart. The two women looked at each other for a moment before Tifa spoke.

"Tex...what you and Samus did last night at the Rumble made all women in wrestling proud." She stated. "You two showed everyone that we could hang with the men if we wanted, and that we are their equals. You did great, Tex, and the women of Fiction Wrestling are proud of you."

"Thanks Tifa, glad to have made women's wrestling proud." Tex nodded proudly. "After all, we got to show from time-to-time we can face those men on equal footing after all."

Tifa just smirked and fist-bumped with Tex before the Freelancer continued her way down the hallway, obviously happy with the praise she was getting. But a few moments later, she looked up and stopped her in tracks, having seen something in front of her. She kept herself focused on what she had see as it came on screen...

...and it was Samus Aran as she came up to be side-to-side with Tex. The crowd cheered loudly as the two females stared off with one another intensely, neither woman backing down from one another. The two continued to staredown one another for several more moments until Samus began walking away, her eyes still trained on Tex a bit more before leaving. Tex just watched her walk away, her gaze never leaving the female.

---

"Man...that was one intense staredown between those two females." Church stated. "You got to wonder what that was all about between them..."

"Well, we got a short battle between the two of them last night during the Rumble Match, and it was something else!" Sarge stated.

"The first female World Champion...the first female Rumble Winner...a true dream match...think it could happen?" Church questioned.

"I sure hope so, dirty Blue, because I think a match between them would be awesome indeed!" Sarge said. "And it would be even better if UCA hosted it!"

("Hero" by Pop Evil)

The crowd booed loudly as the lights turned green and Ben Tennyson, cocky swagger and all. Suddenly, a big smirk appeared on his face, throwing his arms out and shouting "Thanks for supporting your hero!" which only caused the crowd to boo louder at him. Ben then made his way down the ramp with the smirk still on his face before sliding into the ring and raising his fists in the air, shouting "I am your hero!"

"The following contest is an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Bellwood Illinois, weighing at 243 lbs., Ben Tennyson!"

"Well we are at what I'm hearing is the last of our Chamber Qualifying Matches of the night, and Tennyson here looks to get into Chamber big time!" Church said. "He failed to get to the main event through the Rumble, but he looks to get there through the Chamber!"

"Tennyson has never main-evented Final Clash despite being a former UCA World Champion!" Sarge stated. "How great would it be if our hero could walk into Final Clash as champion and retained?"

"I think it would just inflate Ben's ego to the point of no return, but Ben will have to win this match to even have a chance at the Final Clash main event." Church said.

("Trainer Red Theme" from Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver)

The crowd exploded in thunderous cheers as the lights turned red and when the music picked up, Red came out onto the stage, the crowd going crazy at the sight of him. Wearing his trademark jacket and vest, Red looked out towards the crowd for a few moments before tipping his hat over his eyes and raised his fist into the air. He walked down the ramp, fist raised high as he came to the ring and leaped onto the apron. He entered the ring climbed the turnbuckle and raised his fist high into the air once more, tipping his hat over his eyes.

"And his opponent, from Pallet Town, Kanto, weighing in at 230 lbs., "Pokemon Master" Red!"

"Red is one pissed of Pokemon Master, and you can't blame him!" Church said. "Last night, he got screwed over by Blue again who used his music to distract Red so he could get eliminated! And then he got a Shell Shock DDT on the stage! No doubt Red's got a lot of anger to take out on Ben!"

"It's Red own fault that he got eliminated from the Rumble!" Sarge stated. "He said he was expecting Blue, and he STILL got eliminated despite it! So much for that sort of talk!"

"Well Red's got a chance to make up for his Rumble loss and get into the Elimination Chamber!" Church said. "But to do that, he needs to beat one Ben Tennyson to do so."

Red took off his hat and vest and put them on the outside, and the ref checked to see if both of them were ready. Once they were, the ref rang the bell. Red and Tennyson slowly circled each other before meeting in a Collar-and-Elbow Tie-Up, and Ben quickly grabbed Red in a Side Headlock. Ben tightened the hold before Red backed them up to the ropes and tried to throw Ben off, but Ben took a knee to keep the hold on him. Red would not be deterred as he backed up into the ropes to push Ben off again, but Ben again knelt down to prevent this. Ben cockily smirked at keeping Ben in his grasp, shouting "That's how a hero does it!" But suddenly, Red put his leg in front of Ben's and sweeped the hero's legs from under him, causing Ben to face-plant on the canvas.

"Ben gets planted on his face, thanks to Red! That didn't go as he planned!" Church said.

"Just a minor miscalculation. It happens to all heroes at one point or another." Sarge waved off.

Ben got back up, angry at that action, and threw a punch at Red, but the trainer ducked it and nailed a Knife Edge Chop across the chest, eliciting a "Wooo!" from the crowd. Red nailed a few more Knife Edge Chops to the chest before grabbing Ben Tennyson and nailing a Snap Suplex on him, followed by a quick cover! 1...2...Ben kicks out! Red picked up Ben and nailed another Knife Edge Chop to Ben's chest before whipping him into the ropes. Red bends for a Back Body Drop as Ben bounces off the ropes, but Ben leaps over him and rolls him in a Sunset Flip Pin! 1...2...Red kicks out! Both men get back up to their feet and Ben catches him with an Arm Drag. Ben holds onto the arm and locks in an Armbar!

"Ben's now working on that arm of Red, and I have to admit, smart strategy! If he hurts it enough, he'll take out the Poke-Flow!" Church stated.

"Haha, how smart of our hero! Great job Ben, I'm so prud!" Sarge clapped.

Red gritted his teeth in pain as Ben wrenched on the arm, but after ten seconds of this, Red slowly stood up with Ben in tow. Once up, Red began to hit Ben in the gut repeatedly, stunning him. Red landed one final hit that caused Ben to let go of him. Red nailed another Knife Edge Chop to the chest before bouncing off the ropes. Ben tried to catch him with a Forearm, but Red ducked it and bounced off the ropes once more, nailing Ben with a Spinning Wheel Kick! Ben stumbled up to his feet and Red grabbed him and nailed a Saito Suplex! Red covered Ben! 1...2...Kick out by Ben! Red picked up Ben and lifted him onto his shoulders, but Ben landed behind Red, and threw him into the steel post shoulder-first!

"And Red hits the post shoulder-first! And that's the arm Tennyson worked on earlier!" Church stated.

"And it's time to pick that arm apart piece-by-piece!" Sarge said.

Ben pulled Red out of the corner, grabbed the bad arm, and nailed an Armbar Takedown on him! Red held his arm in great pain before finding himself pinned! 1...2...Kick out by Red! Ben held Red's arm across the mat before stomping on it, with Red crying out in pain as a result. Ben picked up Red and grabbed him in a Wrist Lock before holding up the arm and slamming it down across the shoulder. Ben repeated this action two more times before facing Red and pulling him in for a Clothesline, but Red and nailed a Neckbreaker Slam on Ben!

"Neckbreaker by Red! This could be an opening he needs!" Church stated.

Red manages to cover Ben!

Ben kicks out!

Red picked up Ben and nailed a few rights to his face before nailing a Backbreaker on him. He bounced off the ropes and nailed a Jumping Knee Drop across Been's chest. He picked up Ben and whipped him into the ropes and lifted him on the way back for a Spinebuster...

...Mid-lift Ben turns into a Dropkick to the chest! Red stumbled up to his feet, and Ben immediately hit him with a Double Knee Ambreaker! Red held his arm in pain before finding himself pinned by Ben! 1...2...

...Red kicks out! Ben stood up and stomped down at the Pokemon Master a few times before holding his hurt arm down across the mat and began dropping knees across the arms over and over again!

"Ben is just targeting that arm mercilessly!" Church stated. "He knows it could be his ticket to victory!"

"That's it, Ben! Take out that arm!" Sarge cheered. "Take out the arm...take home the victory!"

Ben dropped several more knees across the arm before once again locking in Armbar, all the while dropping several hard elbows across the side of his head! After about eight elbows to the skull, Ben dropped Red and covered him!

Red kicks out!

Ben picked up Red and nailed a few knees to the gut before whipping him into the corner. Ben raised his hand high into the air before running full speed at Red, but the Pokemon Master caught him with a foot to the jaw. Ben staggered back and Red ran at him, but the her caught him with a Reverse Atomic Drop. Red stood holding his backside in pain, and Ben smirked at him before bouncing off the ropes for a clothesline. Red suddenly caught him with his good arm...

...and hit a Lifting Reverse STO on him! Ben held his face as Red got up, favoring his hurt arm before picking up Ben by the hair and kicking him in the fut, doubling him over. He bounced off the ropes and nailed a Knee Smash to Ben's skull! With Ben dazed, Red grabbed him and quickly hit a Facebreaker DDT! Red covered Ben!

Ben kicks out!

Red picked up Ben, but Ben suddenly broke free and kicked Red's hurt arm! Red cried out in pain until Ben grabbed him and threw him shoulder first into the corner!

"AGAIN Ben targets the arm of Red! If Red doesn't do something, that arm will be the end of him!" Church stated.

"Against anyone else, he may be able to do something! But this is the hero of the universe he's facing, so Red ain't doing jack!" Sarge said.

Red leaned against the corner in pain until Ben ran in and hit a Shoulder Ram to the gut! Red stumbled out of the corner, where Ben grabbed his arm, set him up...

...and hits an Armbar Legsweep on him! Red held his arm once more being pinned!

Red kicked out!

Ben picked up Red, and grabbed him from behind. He lifted Red up for the Galaxy Storm...

...

RED LANDED BEHIND BEN! Red backed up into the ropes and bounced off them as Ben turned around. Ben went for a clothesline, but Red ducked it. The Pokemon Master bounced off the ropes once more...

...

...AND RAN INTO A SPEAR FROM BEN!

"SPEAR! Shades of his good friend, Scourge!" Church said.

"Not as good as Scourge's, I admit, but damn, the hero nearly broke Red in two!" Sarge stated.

Ben hooks the leg!

...

Red kicks out!

Ben decided to end things before picking up Red to his feet. He placed the Pokemon Master in a Single-Arm Strait Jacket before cockily smirking at the crowd, shouting "Your hero is ready for victory!" He spun Red out of the Strait Jacket...

...he pulled Red in...

...RED DUCKED THE GALAXY STRIKE! He grabbed Ben's head from behind...

...AND HITS A SLEEPER SUPLEX!

"A Sleeper Suplex!" Church stated. "Red pulls out one hell of a move to get himself back into this!"

"But against a hero like Ben? This chance can't last long!" Sarge stated.

Red took this chance to take a breather as he laid across the mat before both of them slowly stood up. Once up, Red nailed a wicked Knife Edge Chop across Ben's chest. He nailed three more Knife Edge Chops before trying for an Irish Whip, but Ben twisted mid-whip and faced Red, kicking him in the gut. Ben tried for a DDT, but Red spun out of it...

...Double Knee Jawbreaker to Ben! Ben fell into the corner from the impact in a daze, and Red stood up still favoring his arm! He ran at Ben and nailed a Step-Up Enziguri to his skull! Ben staggered out of the corner and Red lited him onto his shoulders...

...AND HITS THE JOURNEY THROUGH KANTO!

"And Red just sent Ben on the Journey Through Kanto!" Church stated. "Skull gets dropped across the knee!"

Red covered Ben!

...

BEN KICKS OUT!

Red picked up Ben and quickly nailed a Side Suplex on him. Once done, Red ascended the nearest corner until he reached the top turnbuckle. He was about to dive off when Ben suddenly shot up and pushed Red's leg out from under him, causing Red to get crotched on the top turnbuckle! Ben nailed a few rights to Red's face before pulling him off the top and onto his shoulders. He walked to the center of the ring and tried for the Omni-Slam, but Red landed behind Ben. He put Ben in a hammerlock, and placed his arm around his head. He swung around for a Lariat...

...Ben ducked the Red Spin! He grabbed Red from behind, and lifted him up...

...GALAXY STORM CONNECTS!

"And Ben takes Red out with the Galaxy Storm!" Church stated. "Red just got planted on his face!"

"Red..." Sarge began.

Ben dropped down and made the cover!

RED KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...Ah dammit! Red kicked out." Sarge cursed.

Ben groaned in frustration before standing up and backing up into a corner. Ben prepped up his elbow as Red slowly stood up to his feet, and Red turned around. Ben ran forward and swung forward his elbow...

...Red ducked the Galaxy Strike! Ben turned around...AND GETS A SUPERKICK STRAIGHT TO THE JAW!

"Red just nearly kicked Ben's head clean off his shoulders!" Church stated. "Ben may be out of it!"

"No! No! No! Ben come to! Please come to! For the Reds!" Sarge begged.

Red fell to a knee, a bit tired as he held his still hurt arm before picking up Ben. He got himself back-to-back with Ben, and hooked him up...

...

...

...

BLUE SUDDENLY RUNS DOWN THE RAMP AND GETS ON THE APRON! The rival gets Red's attention with a few mocks and taunts about he got eliminated in the Royal Rumble before flipping off the Pokemon Master! Red, still angry over what happened last night, let go of Ben and ran at Blue. The rival got off the apron before Red could grab him though and just sneered at Red. Red glared at Blue for a few moments before turning around...

...AND GETTING A GALAXY STRIKE RIGHT TO THE FACE!

"AH DAMMIT IT ALL TO HELL!" Church exclaimed. "BLUE'S DISTRACTION ALLOWED RED TO GET AN ELBOW TO THE FACE! BLUE IS GOING TO SCREW RED AGAIN!"

"You know what they say, Red..." Sarge began.

Blue chuckled evilly as Ben dropped down for the cover!

RED KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...WHAT IN THE GODDAMN HELL?! THAT BULLSHIT! THE COUNT WAS TOO SLOW!" Sarge shouted.

"No it was not! The re counted the right speed, and Red still kicked out! He ain't going to be screwed over by Blue again just yet!" Church shouted.

Ben looked at the ref in disbelief and argued with him that the count was three, but the ref insisted it was two. Blue was absolutely livid on the outside and angrily stomped to the area near the announce table and grabbed a steel chair.

"Oh crap, this ain't going to end well...Blue's got a crazy look in his eye..." Church muttered.

Ben, frustrated so much, stomped on Red a few times before picking him up onto his shoulders just as Blue got on the apron with the steel chair. Ben tried for the Omni-Slam...

...

...but Red landed behind Ben! He pushed Ben towards the ropes, and the hero crashed into Blue! The rival fell off the apron with the steel chair as Ben backed up in a daze! Red rolled up Ben from behind in a School Boy!

3!

"WAIT WHAT?!" Sarge exclaimed.

"He got him!" Church yelled.

("Trainer Red Theme" by Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver)

"Here is your winner, "Pokemon Master" Red!"

The crowd exploded into thunderous cheers as Red let go of Ben and sat on his knees holding up a fist in joy and triumph! Blue had recovered on the outside and saw what was going on inside the ring. A look of pure rage enveloped him and he slid into the ring with steel chair in hand, but Red saw this and quickly got out of the ring as fast as he could. Red backed up the ramp still slightly favoring his hurt arm as Blue angrily looked at Red before going crazy in the ring, shouting obscenities at him. Red just slightly smirked before raising his arm once more in victory.

"Red's going to the Chamber, people!" Church stated. "Despite Blue's intervention, Red managed to roll up Ben for the 1-2-3 and is now heading to Last Stand! It's no doubt a little retribution for last night for Red!"

"This is crap, in my opinion! A travesty! How could this happen to Ben and Blue?!" Sarge exclaimed. "This is not fair! Ben should be winning, and Blue should be getting payback! It's pure logic!"

"Well your messed-up logic didn't work here!" Church stated. "Red managed to get past Blue here, and now has a chance to become a nine-time World Champion in three weeks."

Red left for the back and Blue was still fuming angrily, staring at the spot Red was once at until he was turned around by an angry Ben. Ben shouted off-mic "You cost me my chance at the World Title!" Blue shouted "You idiot! I was trying to help you beat him!" The two argued for a bit until Ben said to Blue, "You failed to keep Red from the Chamber! Just like you fail against him EVERY TIME!" Ben shoved Blue and those were the breaking points for Blue...

...AS HE SMASHED THE STEEL CHAIR ACROSS BEN'S SKULL!

"AAAAHHH! BLUE JUST CRACKED BEN IN THE SKULL WITH A CHAIR! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" Sarge asked.

"Ben struck a nerve with the words he said, and ate some steel as a result!" Church stated. "Blue didn't care if Ben was a bad guy like him, he just lost it!"

Ben writhed on the mat holding his head as Blue seethed down at him angrily before throwing the chair down and exiting. He walked up the ramp in an angry manner as the crowd booed his ass straight to hell.

"This situation with Red...it's pushing Blue over the edge...It's pushing him into a VERY DARK place." Church stated.

"And you heard what he said before, he plans on making Red's life hell no matter what!" Sarge stated. "I can only imagine how this turn of events is going to affect Red's fate at Blue's hands!"

The scene changes to the interview area on the Titantron, which shows Simmons with a mic in hand.

"Sarge, first off, I would like to say that once again, you have proven to be the BEST heel commentator in the business today!" Simmons said. "And now that that is said, I would like to introduce to you all the challenger for the World Title tonight, the Koopa King, Bowser!"

Their were thunderous boos raining down from the crowd as Bowser came onto the screen, a focused expression on his face.

"Now Bowser, you've certainly had a crazy 24 hours." Simmons began. "You screwed over Sonic in the Last Man Standing Match last night all as part of a deal with Mario. And then you went into the Royal Rumble and eliminated ELEVEN men in that very match, coming close to Jecht's record. And now, you actually got a World Title Match tonight here in Mobotropolis. How are you feeling as you head into this momnumental chance?"

"Oh, I haven't felt this good in YEARS!" Bowser chuckled darkly. "Last night, I practically guaranteed myself a World Title match when I screwed over that blue rat, whether I won the Rumble or not. I was going to finally get the World Title I have deserved for so long. But then I enter the Rumble and DOMINATE it, eliminating a number of men not seen since Jecht in 2003. My performance has been praised by many, and I proved to everyone that Bowser has arrived in UCA, and he ain't going to be stopped no matter. And the cherry on the top? I get my World Title Match earlier than expected! Instead of Last Stand, I get my shot tonight! And trust me when I say I will Chokeslam that fat plumber straight to hell!"

"But Bowser, you and Mario worked in collusion to help keep Sonic away from the World Title." Simmons stated. "You don't have any qualms about destroying a guy who gave you this shot?"

"Of course not, Simmons, what do you expect?" Bowser scoffed. "I didn't do what I did for Mario because I suddenly liked him, because I want to join his group of lackeys, or because I want to team up with him. I did it because it was a good BUSINESS decision for me. It was simply business. It got me what I wanted, and now that I have just that, there is no more reason for me to work with that red plumber. For years, I have had to deal with constantly losing to that fool, humiliated over and over again by his ass while he gets all the glory. Well, let me tell you that that ends tonight. I am hungry, Red soldier, I am hungry for that World Title and I will not be denied. Mario is still hurt, and I am a shark who smells blood in the water. Tonight, I squash Mario like the bug that he is, and FINALLY become the UCA World Heavyweight Champion! Then I will go on and defeat five worthless chumps in the Elimination Chamber at Last Stand! And then I put down that Digi-loser Matt Ishida and walk out of Final Clash still champion! Tonight...the Bowser Era begins, and it won't be denied."

---

"You heard it...Bowser is hungry for the World Title!" Church stated. "He wants it bad!"

"I still think it's unfair that this match has to happen like this..." Sarge stated. "Mario's not even fully healed from his Last Man Standing Match!"

"It's Mario's own fault that this is happening." Church said. "He tried to play the system, and it ended up biting him in the ass. Now he has to deal with the consequences."

"I like both men, but this is so unfair that this must happen under such conditions..." Sarge moaned.

("Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple)

The crowd exploded into loud cheers as Edward and Alphonse came out from the back with big smiles on their faces. They looked out to the cheering crowd before high-fiving each other and making their way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans. They entered the ring and raised their fists in the air as the crowd cheered.

"Ladies and gentleman, please welcome Edward and Alphonse, the Elric Brothers!"

"Well look who we have here, the Elrics!" Church said. "These two are coming off a MASSIVE victory over the legendary duo, Team 2D, last week on Flame that definitely raised their stocks!"

"I still can't believe that happened!" Sarge said. "That went completely against all forms of logic! It shouldn't be possible for the Elrics to have won!"

"Maybe with your messed up logic, but in the real world, it DID happen!" Church stated. "And now, it seems we're going to have to hear from them now!"

Ed and Al stood in the ring with mics in hand and were about to speak, but stopped as the crowd chanted "Elric! Elric! Elric!" to them. The brothers smiled at this until the chant died down and Ed spoke up. "Hey Mobotropolis, what's up?!" The crowd cheered loudly at the question Ed posed. "Man, last night was something else! Shocking moments, title changes, grudges intensified, high-flying spots, the Royal Rumble Match - where we admittedly got duped by Sly - and Matt's shocking return! A lot happened last night, but there was one event that went by under everyone's radar yet had our biggest attention throughout it all. One match where its result would truly affect how we would do things in the future. One match that would tell us who we were to go after. And that match everybody...was the Tag Team Title Match between Tails & Knuckles and Luigi & Yoshi!"

"And with Tails & Knuckles retaining, we now know exactly who we are gunning for in our pursuit for those titles!" Al stated. "We've been chasing them for months, working our way up the ladder to get a shot, and I think we have damn sure earned a shot! I mean, last week, we managed to beat one of the greatest tag teams in Fiction Wrestling, Team 2D! No one thought we could do it, but we pulled it off in the end! Not just anyone can beat those two CLEANLY! And the fact that we did should shoot up straight up to a World Tag Team Title shot! We've never held the Tag Team Titles during our time here in UCA, but that is going to change no doubt! We know we've earned title shots and now that Tails and Knuckles are free, we're next in line as challengers!"

"Tails, Knuckles, we know you're back there." Ed stated. "We had a confrontation during the Royal Rumble Match last night, and I think everyone can say that from what they say, they want more from the four of us! So how about you come out here and we make a title match between us four official for the future?! It's about time we get ourselves a type of dream match going on, and see what kind of champions you are!"

"Oh boy, the Elrics are calling out the Tag Team Champions!" Church stated. "They want a title shot, and they may just get one!"

"As if! They don't deserve title shot! Send them back to jobber status where they belong!" Sarge exclaimed.

The Elrics waited in the ring for the Tag Team Champions to come out when suddenly...

("Drop The Bombshell" by Powerman 5000)

Ed and Al looked very surprised as the crowd gave out shocked boos as Tom and Jerry came out onto the stage and slowly made their way down the ramp with mics in hand.

"Oh man, not good!" Church stated. "It's Team 2D, Tom and Jerry! Not who the Elrics wanted, but that ain't going to make this less voilatile!"

"Yes! Finally, a truly great tag team that we all can enjoy! The Elrics should just take a damn hike!" Sarge said.

"You two really are serious, aren't you?" Tom questioned as they walked down the ramp.. "You are actually serious with what you just said. You think you've EARNED a title shot? You think you are the next in line for those titles just because you beat us one time? Well, you did beat us, as much as I hate to admit it, but let me tell you that one simple victory CANNOT get you a title shot, at least not for the Tag Team Titles! You may have beaten us last week, but remember, we beat your ass four weeks ago on Flame FIRST, and then we pinned your asses at the Fanfiction Wrestling Awards not long ago! We've dominated your asses long before you got your little victory! So yeah, you managed to beat us last week, congratulations for you, but the fact still remains: YOU...WILL...NEVER...BE BETTER...THAN US! I mean, how could you be better than SIXTEEN-TME Tag Team Champions in Fiction Wrestling? Answer: You don't.

"If anyone deserves a World Tag Team Title shot around here...IT'S US!" Jerry proclaimed as they entered the ring and stood off with the Elrics. "I mean, we've deserved Tag Title shots for MONTHS NOW! We've been tearing it up in the Tag Team Division for so long now, kicking ass and taking names, and we should be standing here right now as EIGHT-TIME UCA World Tag Team Champions and SEVENTEEN-TIME Tag Team Champions in Fiction Wrestling, but that damn Mushroom Kingdom kept a damn iron grip on those titles and refused to defend them for months, denying us the title shots we deserved and earned! But now that those idiots are out of the title picture for good, it's time for us to cash-in on those title shots we EARNED and get back OUR titles! And no way in hell are we letting an overrated underdog team get in our way of making more history!"

"Of course..." Ed shook his head. "Of damn course...Even after we beat you 1-2-3, you STILL refuse to acknowledge that we're as just as good as you. You still continue to demean everything we have done and make us out as worthless. It's gotten really damn old by this point, and quite frankly, I'm not taking it anymore! You two may have been on fire awhile ago, but aside from beating us, you two haven't been so hot this past month! I mean, first, you lose to Jak and Ratchet..."

"BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU DAMN ALCHEMISTS!" Tom shouted angrily.

"Regardless, you still lost to them. And then yoooouuuuu..." Ed pointed to a scowling Tom, and then back to himself. "...lost to me. And finally, you lost last week to us and failed to get into the Royal Rumble Match as a result. You two have slowed down considerably, while we've been on an absolute roll as of late! We are the one who deserve a Tag Team Title shot more than anyone else! We are the bigger investment right now, and we know we're gettng what we earned in the end!"

"We've wanted the UCA World Tag Team Titles for so long now since they are among the most prestigious Tag Titles in the business." Al stated. "They've been held by the likes of Donald & Goofy, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle,s the South Park Four, Ren & Stimpy, Yugi & Joey, Star Fox, the Mario Bros., D-Hedgeration X, and of course, you two! We've been chasing those titles for so long now, and it's about time to finally the tag team mountaintop of UCA! We're facing Tails & Knuckles for the titles and winning them, and we're not going to let even a legendary duo like you stop us! In fact, we'll just beat you again if you try and get in our way!"

Tom and Jerry stared angrily at the Elrics before them before Tom spoke. "...You know...it's been awhile since I put someone through a table in UCA..." The crowd slightly popped at those words. "And I think it's time we put an end to that drought...with you two!"

"You want a fight?! Bring it on, pussy cat! We're not afraid!" Ed yelled before throwing down his mic, which was followed by everyone else. The two teams looked about to ready to throw down some fists when...

("Sonic Heroes Theme" by Crush 40)

The crowd cheered loudly as the two teams in the ring snapped their heads to the stage and Tails and Knuckles came out from the back, Tag Team Titles around their shoulders and armpits, and mics in hand as well.

"The World Tag Team Champions are here, and just in time too!" Church stated. "Team 2D and the Elrics were just about to brawl like crazy before the champs came out! And they have been a huge element of this conversation up until now!"

"But what do these two anthros want?!" Sarge questioned. "There's no reason for them to break up a glorious fight that would obviously end in Team 2D standing tall! What could they be thinking?!"

Tails and Knuckles just smirked at the two teams before Tails spoke. "Man, Knuckles, we're less than 24 hours removed from our very first title defense, and ALREADY we got several teams breathing down our necks for a shot at our titles! And man, are they doozies! We got the legendary duo of Tom and Jerry, Team 2D, and then we got the decorated Edward and Alphonse, the Elrics! Man, you can't ask for any bigger challengers than that in my book! But they are arguing over who should get a chance at us, and I question...why? Why should they argue? Because from our point of view, there's no reason to argue, am I right?"

"Got that right, Tails." Knuckles nodded. "Team 2D, Elrics, listen up you four! You all want shots at our titles, you all arguing over which team is more deserving of that shot, of who should get it over the other! But you should know this about us: we are FIGHTING champions! We take on any and all comers just like we did with Luigi and Yoshi last night, and we accept any challenge that any team wants to make with us. You two teams want title shots?...All you had to do was simply ask us. We'll be more than happy that give you those title shots, and prove why we are the best damn tag team in UCA today, no matter if you are legendary or decorated! You want us...come get us."

"I couldn't agree more!"

Everyone in attendance looked up and saw Force the Fox once again on the Titantron, which was met with loud cheers. "Now I've been watching this Tag Team Title situation develop in front of me, and after hearing what everyone involved had to say about this, I think I've come to a decision about this. Now Elrics, in my view, Team 2D HAS earned a World Tag Team Title shot. They've been impressive over the past few months beating many teams in their way, and they should have had their title shot long ago if it weren't for the Mushroom Kingdom being difficult with those titles."

Team 2D smirked arrogantly at the Elrics and mocked them, much to the brother's chagrin.

"Buuuuuuutttt...Team 2D, the Elrics ALSO make a good point. They have been just on fire these past few weeks as of later, making headlines as the Tag Team of the Year not too long ago, as well as beating you in both singles action and tag team action cleanly, which is NOT the easiest thing to do in my view. So in my view, they have ALSO earned a World Tag Team Title shot."

The Elrics smirked at this turn of events and Team 2D just growled at this turn of my events.

"So in my opinion, you two teams have both earned INDIVIDUAL title shots for what you have done lately, no one else involved in them." Force proclaimed. "And Tails and Knuckles, you say you are fighting champions, that you will take on any and all challengers and put them to the test, so we're going to put that to the test. And since this is the Path to Final Clash, I'm going to get a bit creative and give you all a treat. We're not going to go the predictable Triple Threat route for this, but instead...for the next two weeks...

...you will all have BACK-TO-BACK World Tag Team Championship matches!"

The crowd exploded into loud cheers as all three teams out in the arena looked on in astonishment.

"That's right, for the next two weeks, the titles shall be defended against the Elrics and Team 2D in individual titles matches! Tails and Knuckles shall be the ones defending in the first title match, and if they were to say lose the title to say...Team 2D in a hypothetical situation, then Team 2D shall defend against the Elrics the week after, it would also work vice versa if the Elrics were in Team 2D's situation. So basically, for the next few weeks...the Tag Team Titles are anyone's ball game. Is everyone involved cool with this situation?"

There was some looks exchanged looks between the three teams before the crowd until Tails spoke up from the stage. "Force...we GLADLY take on this challenge you set up for us. We are going to take on both Team 2D and the Elrics in back-to-back weeks, and beat both of them with our titles on the line! Then their will be no dispute that we are the best damn tag team in the world today! That is...if Team 2D and the Elrics are willing to go through this, willing to get beaten by us?"

"Are you kidding me?!" Tom shouted angrily at them, having picked up a mic again. "We GLADLY accept this little idea of Force's, and once we beat you for the Tag Team Titles next week, we'll beat the Elrics the week after, and show why WE are the best tag team in Fiction fuckin' Wrestling!"

"Woah, hold on there, pussy cat!" Al interjected, also having a mic again. "Now we agree to this little deal too, but who said you were going to get the title shot first? Me and Ed are not going to wait any longer than we have to get our title shot, so we're going to beat Tails and Knuckles next week, and then beat you two...AGAIN!"

"That ain't going to fly, and you know it!" Tom shouted back. "We're getting the first title shot, and you ain't going to stop us!"

"Hey, stop the arguing before it gets out of hand!" Force exclaimed. "I had a feeling you guys would debate over who would get the first title shot against Tails and Knuckles, and I already have a solution for such a thing! Right now, Jerry will face Alphonse in that ring, and the winner will get their team the first title shot against Tails and Knuckles next week. Now Tom and Ed, please clear the ring so Jerry and Al can have their match."

Force disappeared off the Titantron, and the Elrics and Team 2D stared each other down until Tom and Ed got out of the ring and stood at ringside. Tails and Knuckles observed from the ring as a ref ran down from the back and entered the ring.

"Oh man, the Tag Team Title scene just a got a huge shake-up!" Church stated. "The Tag Titles will be defended against Team 2D and the Elrics in seperate matches in back-to-back weeks! And right now, we got ourselves a match to determine who gets the first shot!"

"Justice was served with Team 2D getting their shot,...but injustice was ALSO served with these damn Elrics!" Sarge stated. "They shouldn't be getting title shots at all! Hell, Team 2D should be getting their title shots first! Not have to fight these bozos for it!"

"Well, get over it, this is the most fair for this situation to happen in!" Church stated. "And right now, it's time to see who will get the first title shot!"

The ref checked to see if Jerry and Al were ready, and then rang the bell. Jerry and Al circled each other in the ring before meeting in a lock-up. Jerry grabbed Al in a Side Headlock and hit a Headlock Takedown on him. He wrenched on the head, but Al slowly stood up with the mouse in tow, and began elbowing him in the gut, loosening his grip. Eventually, Jerry let go of Al, and Al took the chance to hit a Snapmare Takedown on him, followed by a Dropkick to the back of the head. Al picked up Jerry, but the mouse broke free and nailed a Forearm to Al's face. Jerry backed up into the ropes and bounced off them for a clothesline, but Al ducked it. Jerry turned around and was immediately nailed with a Dropkick to the chest by Al. Al picked up Jerry and nailed him with a Snap Suplex, and then climbed up the nearest corner to the top. Once there, Al dived off for a Double Foot Stomp, but Jerry rolled out of the way. Al landed on his feet and turned around, but Jerry Drop Toe Holds him face-first into the second turnbuckle.

"Al just went face-first into that turnbuckle, and you know Jerry's going to take full advantage!" Church said.

"Time for the great mouse to give Al the good ol' 1-2!" Sarge stated.

Al stood up in a daze, and Jerry grabbed him from behind and hit a Back Suplex on him followed by a quick cover! 1...2...Al kicks out! Jerry picked up Al and nailed a few Forearms to the face before whipping him into the ropes. He tried for a Hip Toss as he came back, but Al stayed rooted to the ground and tried for a Hip Toss of his own. Jerry wouldn't be lifted either and tried for a clothesline, but Al ducked it. The mouse turned around, and swatted a Dropkick attempt from Al. The alchemist stood back up, only to be hit with a Reverse Atomic Drop by Jerry, followed a Jawbreaker! Jerry makes the cover! 1...2...Al kicks out! Jerry stood up and shouted down at Al, "Just give up! You aren't better than us!" followed by several stomps, which earned applause from Tom and a scowl from Ed.

"Jerry's just mocking Al right now! That defeat last week really didn't change a thing about their attitude!" Church said.

"Why would it? Team 2D are still the better tag team, and always will be!" Sarge declared.

Jerry picked up and nailed a few shots to the face of Al before slamming him down a Scoop Slam, followed by a Jumping Knee Drop to the chest. Jerry then locked in a Headlock on Al and wrenched on the head as hard as he could. Ed suddenly began to clap to will Al on, and the crowd soon followed sui with the alchemist. Al began to feed off the crowd'e energy and slowly stood up with Jerry in tow, and suddenly lifted him up for a Back Suplex. Jerry backflipped out of it onto his feet though, and when Al turned around, Jerry hit a Savate Kick that sent Al into the ropes. Jerry ran at Al, but the alchemist sidestepped and threw Jerry over the ropes and to the floor outside. Al grabbed the ropes and waited as Jerry slowly stood to his feet...

...AND HIT A CORKSCREW PLANCHA ON THE MOUSE!

"And Jerry just realized what it's like to deal with a high-flying alchemist!" Church stated.

"Alchemist aren't meant to fly! Stop doing things you aren't supposed to d, Elric!" Sarge said.

Al posed for the crowd as they cheered before picking up Jerry and throwing him back into the ring. Al got on the apron and measured up Jerry as he stood back up...leaped onto the ropes...

...and hits a Springboard Crossbody on Jerry! Al has the cover on Jerry!

Jerry kicks out!

"Jerry kicks just before the three! But Al is finally getting some momentum going for himself!" Church stated.

"But momentum? For an Elric? BLASPHEMY!" Sarge shouted.

Jerry slowly got up to his knees, and Al took this opportunity to land a HARD kick across the chest of Jerry! Jerry reels before Al lands another kick across the chest, and repeats the action over and over again! Al hits about six kicks, and goes for a seventh, but Jerry catches the leg! Jerry stands up holding the leg, and pulls Al's other leg from under him. He drags Al to a nearby corner, and launches him into it...

...but Al lands on the second turnbuckle! Jerry stands up and sees this, but is unable to stop Al from hitting a Diving Back Elbow off the second turnbuckle! Jerry stumbles up to his feet and gets a Back Heel Kick as a result. Jerry slowly stands up, and Al hits a beautiful Dropsault to his chest! Jerry rolled over to the corner and sat against it, and Al ran towards it and goes for a Hardyac Arrest Dropkick...

...but Jerry rolls out of the way! Al crashes down to the mat and gets to his knees...AND JERRY HITS A SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF AL'S HEAD!

"Damn, did you see that knee across the back of Al's head?!" Church exclaimed. "I wouldn't be surprised if Al was out!"

"And that's what happens, ladies and gentleman, when you mess with a mouse!" Sarge stated.

Jerry rolled Al over for the cover!

Al kicks out!

"And Al stays alive!" Chuch said.

Jerry picked up Al and put him in an Inverted Facelock, and tried to lift him up for the Saving Grace, but Al did his best to remain roooted to the ground. After several tries, Jerry nailed a few shots to the gut of the alchemist before lifting him up successfully for the Saving Grace...

...Al landed on his feet behind Jerry, and nailed a Capo Kick to his skull when he turned around! Jerry fell back into the ropes and bounced off them in a daze...

...and Al hits a Wheelbarrow Bulldog on him! Al hooks the leg!

...

Jerry kicks out!

"Man, I can't believe Jerry actually kicked out of that! That combination of moves almost put Jerry out of the way!" Church stated.

"Don't be surprised, this is one tough mouse, dirtbag!" Sarge said.

Al picked up Jerry and whipped him into the corner and ran at him, leaping onto his shoulders Kofi Kingston-style and began nailing punches to the face. After the tenth punch, Al rolled off Jerry's shoulder and dropped back to the mat, and then hit a Monkey Flip on Jerry. Al ran at the ropes, and springboarded off them for a Springboard Body Splash...

...JERRY GETS THE KNEES UP! Al crashes down onto them stomach-first and falls to the mat in pain, and Jerry wastes no time in picking him up, grabbing him in an Inverted Facelock...

...AND HITS THE SAVING GRACE!

"And the Saving Grace connects big time! Second time's the charm for Jerry!" Church said.

"Al..." Sarge began.

Jerry hooks the leg.

...

Al kicks out at 2.87!

"You Just Got...Aw fudge pops!" Sarge cursed.

Jerry looked stunned at the kick-out and so did Tom at ringside. Jerry scowled before picking him up, and hooked him up. He lifted him up for the Mouse Trap...

...but Al suddenly fell forward and threw Jerry off of him! Jerry rolled to his feet and ran at Al...and gets hit with the second Capo Kick of the match! Jerry fell to his knees before standing up doubled over in a daze, and Al bounced off the ropes and gave the mouse a Throwback! Jerry bounced off the mat onto his back! Al then sized up Jerry and nailed a Standing Shooting Star Press on him, and hooked the leg!

"Al's got the cover off the Shooting Star! This could be it!" Church said.

...

...

Jerry kicks out!

"Obviously, it is not! Stop being an idiot, dirty Blue and realize that Jerry's winning this!" Sarge stated.

Al dragged Jerry over to the nearest corner before climbing up there with his back turned to Jerry. Al stood on top for a Moonsault, but Jerry suddenly got up and grabbed Al, pulling him off the top and down to the mat below! Al held his head in pain before finding himself picked up by Jerry, who nails a Double Underhook Suplex on him...

...but Jerry held onto the arms of Al and stood up with him into, and nails a second Double Underhook Suplex...

...and Jerry continues to hold onto Al, stands up...AND HIT A THIRD UNDERHOOK SUPLEX!

"Man, a TRIFECTA of Butterfly Suplexes! That's not something you see every day!" Church said.

"Ah, beautiful to see a master of Non-Stop Violence at work like this!" Sarge stated.

Jerry hooks the leg!

AL KICKS OUT!

Jerry was starting to get very frustrated and picked up the alchemist, and tried to hook him up for the Mouse Trap. Al however, fought out of it and pushed Jerry into the ropes. Jerry bounced off the ropes and ducked a Roundhouse Kick from Al, and when the alchemist turned around, Jerry caught him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Jerry backed up and waited as Al got back to his feet, and ran at him...

...Al avoided the Knee Smash! Jerry turned around...and got an Enziguri to the skull! Jerry was left dazed on his feet, and Al quickly got back up and nailed a SECOND Enziguri to the skull of Jerry! Jerry fell to the mat on his back, and Al quickly climbed the corner. He stood on top and sized up Jerry...

...AND HITS THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS!

"And Al hits an AMAZING Shooting Star Press on Jerry!" Church exclaimed. "This could be it!"

"No, it can't be! Not like this!" Sarge retorted.

Tom saw the whole thing go down, and realizing he needed to act quickly ran around the ring to the side of it Al and Jerry were close at...

...AND GOT AN AUTOMAIL CLOTHESLINE FROM ED FOR HIS TROUBLES!

"Tom just got his head taken off by Ed!" Church exclaimed. "Ed isn't going to let Tom get in the way of this match!"

"NOOOOOOOO!" Sarge shouted.

Al hooks the leg!

"And that's ballgame people!" Church stated.

("Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple)

"Here is your winner, Alphonse Elric!"

The crowd cheered loudly as Al got off of Jerry and celebrated his victory before the ref raised his hand to indicate his win. Ed clenched his fists tightly with a smirk on his face as he realized the implications of this victory. Al got onto the turnbuckle, and raised his hands in triumph before he and his brother looked over to Tails and Knuckles, who were still on the stage and had smirks on their faces.

"Al has managed to knock off Jerry, and you know what that means!" Church stated. "Next week, Tails and Knuckles will defend the World Tag Team Titles against the Elrics in what is sure to be an amazing match!"

"No! No! No!" Sarge chanted. "This can't be happening! Those Elrics shouldn't be getting the title shot first! They shouldn't! Stop making this such a crazy world, you damn Elrics!"

"Sarge, PLEASE stop complaining about this. It won't do a damn thing." Church stated. "Get over it, and deal with it. Team 2D still have a Tag Title shot of their own regardless!"

Al exited the ring and walked up the ramp with Ed until they came face-to-face with the Tag Team Champions. Tails and Knuckles continued to smirk before raising their titles high into the air, signifying they weren't going to let them go without a fight. Meanwhile, Tom slid into the ring with Jerry and the two came to, looking at the scene on the stage before them. Angry scowls appeared on their faces as Tom bashed the mat with his fist, and Jerry just glared at the two teams on the stage.

"Next week is going to have one hell of a title match, but man, Team 2D is PISSED!" Church stated. "Things have just not been going their way as of late!"

"This is one of the best tag teams in damn history, dirty Blue, and those Elrics are just getting in their damn way!" Sarge stated. "Screw those Elrics to hell!"

"It was once thought that Team 2D had the number of the Elrics, but could the Elrics now have the number of Team 2D?" Church questioned. "The Tag Team Division is certainly heating up for the next few weeks!"

UCA Rewind: Survival Games 2002

The First UCA Elimination Chamber

"With Survival Games just around the corner in 2002, I wanted to do something big to make this edition one of the biggest ever." Force stated. "I wanted to make it an event that everyone would remember, and I as was trying to think of something, I heard about WWE looking to debut a new match-type contest around the same time. I loved the concept, and wanted to use it. So I went to Vince and WWE, talked with them a bit...and they allowed me to also use the match as well for Survival Games, just a week after their Survivor Series. And thus, we had ourselves the first UCA Elimination Chamber, and man what a line-up that match had...

Clips were shown of the six men who competed in the first UCA Elimination Chamber: Jeccht stood in his chamber pod with his arrogant smirk on his face; Sephiroth stood in the middle of the ring with lights darkened and looking out to the crowd ominously; Red entered the chamber with a sense of awe yet determination; Sonic stood on the turnbuckle with the UCA World Title raised high with one hand; Jackie Chan looked around the chamber he was in with a sense of apprehension; Blue stood outside the chamber and looked at it with narrowed, intense eyes.

"These six men are about to go straight into the devil bull pit!" Mickey shouted. "These six men are about to go straight to hell inside the Elimination Chamber! There's no telling what will happen here tonight!"

"Jecht, Sephiroth, Red, Sonic, Jackie Chan, and Blue." Force listed off. "These were the six men who were the first in UCA to delve into the Elimination Chamber, all for Sonic's World Title. And man, that was just brutaility..."

"I remember that match very vividly." Sonic stated. "It was a match that took a toll on every single one of our bodies. I mean, the hell I went through was so unreal. What we did to each other in that Chamber on that night really was on par with the Chamber Matches in WWE at the time..."

Blue stood on the steel grating and grabbed Jackie Chan, who stood in the ring, and tried to Suplex him over the ropes and onto the steel. Jackie refused to be lifted though, and after several attempts, Jackie suddenly broke free and nailed a vicious Roundhouse Kick to Blue's skull, causing him to back up and fall to his knees. Jackie readied himself with the ropes as he waited for Blue to get up. Once he did, Jackie leaped onto the ropes and springboarded off them...

...but Blue moved out of the way! Jackie suddenly latched onto the chain wall though, ala' Spiderman, much to the shock of everyone! He waited for Blue to turn around to face him, and backflipped off the chain wall...AND NAILED A REVERSE DDT ON THE STEEL FLOOR!

...

Jecht stomped on Red as he sat against the chain wall with great viciousness, an arrogant smirk on his face the whole time. After a few more stomps, Jecht bounced off the ropes towards Red for a final blow, but Red suddenly Drop Toe Holds him into the chain wall face-first! With Jecht dazed, Red picked up Jecht, and hooked him up for the Poke-Flow on the steel, but Blue suddenly came in and tackled Red down, forcing him to let go of Jecht. Blue picked up Red, but Red suddenly kicked Blue and threw him face-first into the chain wall. Red turned his attention back to Jecht, but was grabbed by him and thrown against the plexigalss of a pod! Red leaned against it in pain...

...AND JECHT JECHT KICKS (Brogue Kick) RED THROUGH THE PLEXIGLASS!

..

Sephiroth placed Sonic between his legs and lifted him up for the One-Winged Massacre (Sit-Out Crucifix Powerbomb), but Sonic slipped out of it and landed behind Sephiroth. The angel turned around, and got dealt repeated kicks to the thigh from the blue hedgehog. Sonic followed it up with a Dropkick to the chest, sending Sephiroth down to the mat, and then got on the apron. He measured up Sephiroth as he got up, and then springboarded off the ropes to him, wrapped his legs around his head...

...Sephiroth caught him on his shoulders! Sonic flailed around helplessly as Sephiroth ran towards the ropes...AND POWERBOMBED SONIC OVER THEM ONTO THE STEEL GRATING!

...

Clips of the match were shown rapidly: Sephiroth chokeslamming Red, Sonic Spearing Sephiroth into chain wall, Jackie Chan hitting a Spinning Wheel Kick on Jecht, Red hitting a Diving Clothesline on Blue, Blue pushing Jackie Chan off the turnbuckle and onto the steel, and Jecht hitting a Running Powerslam on Sonic.

"I can't believe what we are seeing here! This is absolute destruction!" Mickey shouted. "It's a freakin' demolition derby in there! And these men are killing each other all for the World Title!"

"Brutal, bloody, vicious, barbaric...all these words describe UCA's first-ever Chamber Match." Sonic stated. "Hell, I'm pretty sure my career was shortened because of what I went through in that match. There was nothing we weren't willing to do to walk out as the World Champion."

"Every man in that match wanted to be World Champion so badly, but of course, they were eliminated one-by-one, until one two were left..." Force stated.

Jecht sized up Jackie Chan as he slowly stood up near the corner, and ran forward for a Jecht Kick, but Chan ducked it! Jecht turned around, and got a Dropkick to the knee! He fell to his knees, and Chan immediately knocked Jecht out with a Chan Special (Buzzaw Kick)! Jecht was lied out on the mat and Chan stood over him, and suddenly looked up at the pod before him. The crowd suddenly cheered loudly, begging for Chan to go for what they were thinking! Chan looked out to the raucous crowd, and gulped audibly before reluctantly climbing up the corner, and then up to the very top of the pod! He stood on top with the crowd going crazy, looking down at Jecht and said "Bad day!"...

...AND HITS A DIVING LEG DROP OFF THE TOP OF THE POD! The crowd is going crazy as Jackie Chan holds his tailbone in pain before draping an over Jecht!

1...2...3!

...

Sephiroth grabbed Jackie by the throat and lifted him up, but Jackie caught him with a DDT! Sephiroth was laid out as Jackie stood up, and looked up at a pod. Feeling a sense of bravery and risk-taking overatke him, Jackie climbed the corner and then up to the very top of the pod much to the crowd's approval! Jackie crouched on top of the pod...

...when Sephiroth suddenly sat up! He quickly stood up and climbed the corner at a fast pace, stunning Jackie! This caused Jackie to be unable to stop Sephiroth from grabbing his throat from the top turnbuckle, and giving him a dark smirk...

...BEFORE HITTING A MASAMUNE SLAM (Reverse Chokeslam Facebuster) OFF THE TOP OF THE POD! Jackie was motionless before Sephiroth turned him over and covered him!

1...2...3!

...

Sonic stood over Sephiroth as he was one his knees, panting like crazy before bouncing off the ropes...and into Sephiroth's hand! Sephiroth hits a Chokeslam on Sonic! Sephiroth picks up Sonic, and sets him up once more for the One-Winged Massacre...but Blue suddenly grabs Sephiroth from behind and hits the Kanto Strike (Inverted Suplex Stunner) on him! Sephiroth stands up in a daze before being picked up by Red on his shoulders, and gets nailed with a Journey Through Kanto! Sephiroth stumbles up to his feet, and Sonic suddenly shoots up to his feet, and lifts Sephiroth up...

...AND HITS A SONIC DRIVER! Sonic hooks the leg!

1...2...3!

...

Red and Sonic traded blows in the middle of the ring before Red started to gain the upper hand in the fight and bounces off the ropes to hit a hard clothesline! He picks up Sonic onto his shoulders for a Journey Through Kanto, but Sonic squirms in his grip, and suddenly pushes himself off Red's shoulder, and hits a Homing Attack! Sonic stalked Red as he slowly stood up, and lifted him up onto his shoulders, turned around...

...BLUE SLAMS A PIECE OF PLEXIGLASS OVER SONIC'S SKULL! The crowd gasps as Sonic drops Red and stands in a limp fashion, before finding his arms hooked by Blue...

...AND GETS DROPPED WITH A SHELL SHOCK DDT! Blue tightly hooks both legs!

1...2...3!

"MY GOD! SONIC'S ELIMINATED! THE WORLD CHAMP'S GONE!" Mickey shouted. "I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"

"WE'RE NOW GUARANTEED TO HAVE A NEW WORLD CHAMPION!" Pete shouted. "AND IT'S DOWN TO THE LONG-TIME RIVALS, RED AND BLUE!"

"A MEMORABLE RIVALRY IS REIGNITING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!" Mickey exclaimed. "WHO WILL WALK OUT THE WORLD CHAMPION?!"

"It came down to Red and Blue, and it was another epic chapter in their long-standing rivalry." Force remarked. "It was the first time since 2000 that they were fighting one-on-one, so the atmosphere was absolutely electric for their battle. And those two really tore at each other inside that Chamber, very brutal stuff in the Final Two. But it came to an end with this..."

Blue kicked Red in the gut, set him up, and lifted him for a Powerbomb, but Red rolled through with a Sunset Flip Pin! 1...2...Blue kicks out! Both scrambled to their feet and Red ducked a clothesline from Blue, and caught him with a Flapjack as he turned around! With blood pouring down both of their faces, Red stalked Blue as he slowly got up, and then hooked him up back-to-back...

...BLUE CATCHES HIM WITH A LOW BLOW BACK KICK! The crowd booed viciously as Red let go of Blue in pain, and Blue turned him around, hooked him up...AND HIT A SHELL SHOCK DDT!

"DAMMIT! Blue just nailed Red low, and hit the Shell Shock DDT! He's going to steal this victory!" Mickey shouted.

"No DQs, motherfucker, and Blue FINALLY beat Red! Finally, he regains the World Title!" Pete exclaimed.

Blue pinned Red!

1...2...RED KICKS OUT!

"NO! BLUE DID NOT BEAT! RED KICKS OUT!" Mickey shouted. "RED STILL LIVES IN THIS CHAMBER!"

Blue was stunned, which was soon followed by a cry of great anger from him. He stood up in a furious manner before catching sight of the piece of plexiglass from earlier and picked it up. With a snarl, Blue sized up Red as the Pokemon Master gingerly made his way to his feet. Once he was up, Blue swung the plexiglass...

...and Red ducked the swing! Blue stumbled forward before turning around...AND GETS HIT WITH A VAN DAMINATOR FROM RED, SENDING THE PLEXIGLASS INTO HIS FACE! Blue is laid out on the mat as Red crawls to the plexiglass and sets it down on the mat before picking up Blue, hooked him up...

...RED HITS THE POKE-FLOW ON THE PLEXIGLASS!

"POKE-FLOW! POKE-FLOW! RED HITS IT ON THE PLEXIGLASS! THE COVER!" Mickey shouted.

1...2...3!

Red let go of Blue's leg and lied across him in pure exhaustion as the crowd went thunderous with cheers in the arena, the victory slowly registering as he weakly raised a fist in the air.

"Here is your winner of the UCA Elimination Chamber, and NEEEEEWWWWW UCA World Champion, REEEEEDDDDDD!"

"RED HAS DONE IT! RED HAS PULLED IT OFF! RED HAS MADE HISTORY!" Mickey shouted. "RED HAS WON THE FIRST UCA CHAMBER, AND AFTER NEARLY A YEAR, RED IS ONCE AGAIN LIVING HIS DREAM AS THE WORLD CHAMPION!"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! RED HAS REACHED THE MOUNTAINTOP FOR THE THIRD TIME!" Pete shouted. "I THOUGHT BLUE HAD IT, I THOUGHT HE HAD IT! BUT DAMMIT, RED IS THE CHAMPION!"

"It was disappointing to see myself lose the World Title to Red, but it was no doubt a historic and memorable moment." Sonic admitted. "And it certainly went a long way to eventually establishing Red as "The Man" of UCA in the future. And despite my loss, and despite the hell I went through, I was proud to have taken part in UCA's first Elimination Chamber, especially when it was as good as it was."

"Survival Games 2002 really set the bar for future UCA Elimination Chamber Matches, no doubt." Force stated. "It's the standard for Chamber Matches, and it's been very hard to top. Hell, some say that the original is STILL the best UCA Chamber Match to this day. All six men went all out in this chamber, and it produced one of the most memorable matches in the history of the company."

The final shot is of Red standing in middle of the ring inside the chamber with the World Title raised high with one hand, blood pouring down his face and a weak, but happy smile on his face as his confetti poured from the ceiling.

A/N: YES! YES! YES! I FINALLY FINISHED THE UCA CHAPTER! So for the slow update this time around, loyal fans of UCA, but I've been held back by lack of motivation and inspiration, college work, and of course, playing the AWESOME new Tomb Raider game. But, I would not be denied in bringing this chapter to you all, and here it is! I hope that this chapter as really worth the wait for you all. I really don't want my fans feeling dissatisfied with my work. T_T I gave it my all for this, so I hope you all enjoy this.

If you have any ideas and suggestions for storylines and rivalries or UCA Rewinds, let me know via PM and I will consider it at the least. Until next time, my loyal readers, leave a review! Reviews are very much appreciated, my friends!
