Universal Character Association: Week 6

---

The camera goes to the Titantron which shows Tifa Lockhart conversing with Kiva Andru backstage.

"Yeah, it sucks that you were screwed out of being in the Six-Pack Challenge like that." Kiva stated with a frown. "You had Mandy on the ropes, you were about to knock her out and win, but then Lightning gets you disqualified and locks you out of Last Stand. I don't find that right one bit. If she was a champion, she would've let you advance so she could beat you."

"Yeah, I know it sucks." Tifa sighed. "What's worse is that every female involved in this only gets one chance to get into the match. Lose, despite how it happens, and you're shit out of luck. But...I'll earn myself another shot at the Women's Title one day. Maybe I won't get one now, but I'll get one in the future. As WELL as a one-on-one match with Lightning, sooner or later. But for now, I'm willing to sit this one out and leave this to other stars, such as you. You've definitely proven yourself these past few weeks, and you do deserve this shot you are getting. In my view, you are the shining example of what the Women's Division here in UCA should be all about, not Lightning Farron. The skill you've displayed, the respect you've shown, and the wins you've managed to obtain, you are going to be a top star soon. And I wouldn't be surprised if you became Women's Champion at Last Stand."

"Heh, thanks Tifa. That means a lot coming from a legend such a yourself." Kiva nodded in respect. "Knowing you believe I can become a big star, I feel even more confident that I will become the Women's Champion at Last Stand and head to Final Clash with the title."

"Oh please." Tifa and Kiva snapped their heads to Lightning, who scoffed at the two. "Tifa believing in you makes you more confident? Her opinion no longer matters in this day and age. She's irrelevant, and she's a has-been past her prime who has hogged her spotlight. I bet she just wants you to win the title so she can have you get her a title shot at Final Clash. I wouldn't put it past her."

"Tch, there you go again, assuming things about me..." Tifa narrowed her eyes.

"It's not assuming when it's likely the truth." Lightning replied coolly. "But despite making Kiva your little favorite, she isn't going to be taking this title from me at Final Clash! No woman in that Six-Pack Challenge will take this title from me. I've come too far now to lose this title so close to the biggest event that UCA has. People said I had no chance at Royal Reckoning of retaining against you and Peach, but I DID! I defeated the two of you cleanly and walked out Champion! I even got the pinfall for my team at the XCW Summer Supershow! And despite this whole situation being crap, I will retain once more and head to Final Clash as champion! BUT...if I am to lose this title somehow, someway...I can at least take joy in the fact that YOU won't win this title! Because you exemplify everything that the RR despises and wants to get rid off! You no longer deserve to be champion! You don't even deserve to have another shot!"

"Oh shut up, will you Lightning?" Tifa growled. "You spew about that crap over and over again, but who are you and the RR to judge me and so many others for all this? You have your opinions of us, and I can't change them, but the fact that you are condemning is really just a bunch of BS right now! You say I have hogged the spotlight, but the fact is that many others have risen to the top and to prominence! Agent Tex, Hinata Hyuuga, Gaz, Mandy, and others have become prominent players during my second half of being here in UCA as a top star and legend, so you can take your crap about me holding others down and shove it up your ass! I have no problem sitting this match out this time. I can always get another shot another time and it seems this match belongs to others, but you and me will face off one day without anyone else in the way...and when we do, you can consider yourself taken down once and for all humbled."

Lightning glared at Tifa at her words for several seconds...until Kiva stood between them and stared Lightning dead in the eye.

"Until then...you got ME to deal with, and trust me, I ain't going to let you walk out of that PPV as Champion without a fight." Kiva stated strongly.

"Hmph, you actually want to defend this washed-up vet?" Lightning questioned. "You, a girl who is just as much as rookie as me and many of the other members of the RR? Tch, you shouldn't be hanging out with the likes of Tifa. She's just going to impede your progress and keep you from reaching your full potential. You may be one of my challengers, and a favorite of Tifa, but I feel as if though you could be a valuable asset to our group, and do a great part in helping the RR create a new era. You don't need to pander to this damn veteran, Kiva...you can be part of something greater, and help us change things for the better."

"Not a chance, Lightning." Kiva stated strongly. "I don't need to join the Revolution to help my career one bit. I'm already making my own name without it, so why would I join? There's no point to it. That's now how I did things in the future. Plus, I don't like your disrespect of the people that paved the way for us. You say I pander to Tifa...but I am simply showing her respect as one of the best and appreciating the support she has given me. I don't need to trash talk vets, take out people, or be part of some big group to succeed. No...all I need is to work as hard as I can, and not let people like you tell me what I should do. So your little offer, Lightning...consider it denied! And come Last Stand...consider a stake put through the heart of your reign."

"So that's the way it's going to be, huh?" Lightning narrowed her eyes. "Fine, if you wish to defy the Revolution, then so be it. I'll put both you and Tifa down for the count...just like the Rookie Revolution put down Team Veteran at Best in the World. I'll see you at Last Stand."

Lightning then walked away from the Megas XLR star and Final Fantasy girl, who had frowns on their faces thanks to Lightning. But unbeknownst to them, Mandy watched it all from the shadows, her emotionless look on her face.

"Hmph, as if either of them will be walking out champion. That title...is coming back to me. And when it does...I'm ruling the Women's Division with an iron fist once more." Mandy said before walking away.

---

"Tensions flaring in the Women's Division as we head closer to Last Stand." Church said. "Things not only seem far from over between Lightning and Tifa, but Kiva and Mandy are also hot on the tail for the Women's Title."

"The Women's Title scene is no doubt going to be in chaos and uncertainty for the next few weeks." Sarge admitted. "I would normally pull for Lightning, but I don't know who else will be joining the fray!"

"And we are going to have two more qualifying matches tonight for two of those spots!" Church announced. "And with each spot filled, Lightning's odd of retaining become slimmer and slimmer."

"And knowing that Tifa and Lightning aren't done with each other, and Lightning may be in trouble." Sarge stated. "But Lightning managed to retain at Royal Reckoning, so there's a great chance she can do it again at Last Stand!"

"And speaking of Qualifying Matches...we got one of different variety right now!" Church said.

("Sin With A Grin" by Shinedown)

The crowd cheered loudly as Sly Cooper came out onto the stage, a big grin on his face as he held his trademark cane in his hand. With a sly smirk, he tipped his hat over his eyes and twirled the cane above him for a few seconds before bringing it down to a flash of pyro all around him. Sly then shot his head up and made his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans at ringside before making his way to the apron and climbing up the nearest turnbuckle, raising his cane in the air.

"The following contest is a Triple Threat Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing the Sony Saints, from Paris, France, weighing in at 226 lbs., "Thievius Racoonus" Sly Cooper!"

"It's time for to determine who gets one of the remaining spots in the Elimination Chamber, and Sly's looking to take the spot!" Church said. "He wants to get back to the top big time, and this is his chance to do so!"

"Gah, out of the three here, I want Sly to lose the most!" Sarge stated. "Stupid Sony Saint! His buddies lost earlier tonight, and he will too! Like Sly has any chance of getting back into the World Title picture!"

"But remember Sarge, Sly is one sneaky bastard!" Church said. "He won't hesitate to steal victories from people's noses, and a Triple Threat situation fits his style perfectly!"

("Bring It" by Trapt)

The crowd gave a massive cheers, as the music played and the arena lights turned blood red with black highlights. Senji came out onto the stage wearing his trademark black coat and the Hardcore Title over his shoulder. The Deadman wore a very excited smirk on his face as his body trembled with what was about to happen before he raised his title in the air, red pyro going off at the sides of him. Senji made his way down the ramp and slid into the ring. He climbed the nearest turnbuckle and raised the Hardcore Title high, an eager smirk on his face.

"Introducing next, from Deadman Wonderland, weighing in at 243 lbs., he is the UCA Hardcore Champion, 'The Crow' Senji Kiyomasa!"

"Senji is perhaps the fastest rising star in UCA today!" Church said. "He's been Hardcore Champion for over five months, faced off with Red in a Flame classic, eliminated Tennyson from the Rumble, and even pinned the UCA World Champion at the XCW Summer Supershow!" Church said.

"That pin was a fluke though! If it was in an UCA arena, it would have never happened!" Sarge stated. "Besides, Mario was NOWHERE near close to 100% for that match, so the pin is irrelevant! Still, I can't deny that in the eyes of many, Senji is rising!"

"Senji has been given a second chance at finally becoming UCA World Champion and main eventing Final Clash!" Church said. "But to get that shot, he needs to go through Sly...and this man..."

("My World" by Transmissions)

The crowd cheered loudly as the music played as the lights dim and Gordon Freeman came out onto the stage with his crowbar in his hand. The G-Man came out by his side, adjusting his tie and holding a briefcase, and Gordon looked out to the crowd before raising his crowbar and arm high before making his way down to the ring with a purpose, the G-Man following him. Gordon entered the ring and raised the crowbar high once more amid all the cheers.

"And introducing finally, being accompanied by the G-Man, from Black Mesa, weighing in at 237 lbs., Gordon Freeman!"

"Gordon Freeman has made quite an impact in a such short time!" Church said. "From putting on a impressive performance and stand-off with Bowser at the Rumble to going toe-to-toe with the veteran, Wolfgang, Gordon has established himself in a short time."

"I don't get why he is even getting this shot!" Sarge stated. "If anyone deserves this shot, it's the Bully, Wolfgang! Not this damn rookie! Ugh, this is a damn insult to Wolfgang who's done so much in his career!"

"Yeah, and a DQ loss in your first match back TOTALLY deserves a chance like this." Church stated sarcastically. "Gordon's got the chance, get over it, and even though he won't likely win, it'll be a chance to show what he can do! And with the always enigmatic G-Man by his side, anything can happen!"

Gordon and Sly placed their crowbar and cane on the outside while Senji handed his title away. They each stood in their respective corners as the ref checked on them, and then he rang the bell. Gordon and Senji immediately ran at each other and began trading punches with each other, while Sly slid out of the ring unknown to them. Gordon and Senji continued trading punches until Gordon ducked a punch and nailed a European Uppercut. Senji backed up a bit and Gordon walked to him, but got a Big Boot to the face. Gordon fell to the mat as Senji picked him up and went for a Short-Arm Clothesline, but Gordon ducked it and nailed a Snap Neckbreaker. Gordon picked up Senji and whipped him into the ropes, and went for a Lariat, but Senji ducked it, bounced off the ropes, and nailed a Running STO! Senji picked up Gordon and pushed him into a corner, and began ramming his shoulder into Gordon's gut repeatedly before pulling him out of the corner and lifted him onto his shoulder. He tried for Snake Eyes, but Gordon landed behind Senji and pushed him into the turnbuckle. Gordon grabbed him from behind and nailed a Release German Suplex on Senji! Gordon stood up, but Sly suddenly slid in and threw him out of the ring! Sly with the pin on Senji! 1...2...Senji kicks out!

"That sneaky thief! Sly let Gordon and Senji beat the crap out of each other and tried to steal one from them!" Church said.

"Gah, just like a damn Sony Saint to do that! No balls whatsoever! Thanks goodness Senji kicked out though!" Sarge stated.

Sly picked up Senji and nailed a Vertical Suplex on Senji before getting on the apron and climbed the turnbuckle. He waited for Senji to get up then dived off the top to him. Senji moved out of the way and Sly landed on his feet, and Sly turned to run at Senji, but got caught with a Standing Spinebuster! Senji hooks the leg! 1...2...Sly kicks out! Senji mounted Sly and began raining down vicious punches to Sly's kull over and over. After nine punches, Senji picked up Sly and whipped him before pulling him back by the arm, and went for the Wonderland Whip! But Sly managed to land behind Senji and nail a Dropkick to the back of his head, dropping him to a knee. The coon then bounced off the ropes, and nailed a Leapfrog Fameasser on Senji! Sly with the cover! 1...2...Senji kicks out! Sly kicks out, but got a Lariat from a returning Gordon! Gordon picked up Sly and whipped him into a corner, and nailed a Corner Clothesline on him! He then whipped Sly out of the corner and into a now standing Senji, sending the Deadman out of the ring! Sly stumbled back to Gordon, who grabbed his head and nailed a Sleeper Suplex on Sly!

"Gordon's back in the fray! And I don't think he liked getting thrown out like that!" Church stated.

"And now it's time to make the dirty Blue known as Sly!" Sarge said.

Gordon picked up Sly and began landing brutal knees to the gut of Sly repeateldy. After ten knees, Gordon nailed a Single-Arm Suplex on the coon. Sly writhed on the mat before being stomped in the gut, sitting up as part of the reaction, and Gordon bounced off the ropes and nailed a Boot to the face! Gordon drops for the cover! 1...2...Sly kicks out! Gordon wastes no time with a Headlock and wrenches on the head, and after a few seconds, Sly stood up with Gordon and began to elbow Gordon in the gut until he loosened up...

...allowing Sly to suddenly break free and nail a Pele' Kick! Gordon stood staggered as Sly got up and bounced off the ropes...AND RAN INTO A FREE FALL FROM GORDON! Sly stumbled up to his feet in pain...AND GOT A KNEE SMASH TO THE SKULL!

"Oh man, knee to the damn skull in a very bad way for Sly! That'll rattle his skull!" Church stated.

"Hah, watching a Sony Saint get pummeled like this is pure joy!" Sarge laughed. "Can we record this please?"

Gordon covers Sly!

Sly kicks out!

Gordon picked up Sly and dragged him to a corner and placed him on the top turnbuckle. He tried to climb up there with him, but got attacked him from behind by Senji! Senji pulled him away and nailed clubbing blows to the back, but Gordon suddenly grabs Senji and hits a Swinging Reverse STO! Gordon stalks Senji as he gets up and bounces of the ropes...AND INTO A POWERSLAM FROM SENJI! Senji hooks the leg! 1...2...Gordon kicks out! Senji picks up Gordon...

...AND SLY HITS A DIVING CROSSBODY ON THEM BOTH OUT OF NOWHERE!

"Oh man, Sly flies in out of nowhere! The price paid for forgetting about thief!" Church said.

"Well it's not easy to forget about Sly since he's TOTALLY WORTHLESS!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sly stood up before quickly Dropkicking a kneeling Gordon in the skull before picking up Senji and whipping him into the ropes, catching him on the rebound with a Back Heel Kick. Senji rolls over to the corner and slowly stands up against it, and Sly suddenly runs and nails a Step-Up Enziguri to Senji! The Deadman stumbles out of the corner, and Sly hits a Sit-Out Facebuster on him! Sly hooks the leg! 1...2...

...Gordon breaks the count before three! Gordon picked up Sly and whipped him into the ropes, but Sly ducked a clothesline as he bounced back. The thief bounced off the ropes once more and leaped at Gordon, hitting a Hurricarana on him! Gordon stumbled to his feet, and into a Jumping DDT from Sly!

"And Gordon gets spiked on his head, courtesy of the vet! The fact that Gordon is a rookie is really showing here!" Church stated.

"Yeah, and it's causing him to get his ass handed right now! I don't think he can be like Chell from CCW!" Sarge said.

Sly hooks the leg!

2...

Gordon kicks out!

"But it's not enough to put Gordon down for the count!" Church said.

Sly waits as Gordon gets up to his feet and then leaps at the ropes...and Gordon ducks the Ninja Spire Kick! Sly lands on his feet and turns around only to be lifted onto the shoulders of Gordon, but Sly struggled in his grip and landed behind Gordon! Sly bounced off the ropes...

...AND INTO A SPIN-OUT POWERBOMB, CHRISTOPHER DANIELS-STYLE! Gordon has Sly pinned! 1...2...SLY KICKS OUT! Gordon picks up Sly and with all his might whipped him into the corner, where Sly was turned inside out against it in Shawn Michaels fashion. Sly fell onto his feet and stumbled back into Gordon's waiting hands, and was dealt a Capture Suplex from the One Free Man! G-Man smiled approvingly as Gordon picked up Sly, placed him between his legs and hooked the arms and legs...

...AND SENJI BIG BOOTED GORDON IN THE FACE!

"And here coooommmmmeeessss Senji!" Church quipped.

"And he came with one big ass boot to ya face!" Sarge added.

Gordon let go of Senji and fell to the mat and Senji picked him up and tried to whip him, but Gordon reversed it and whipped Senji instead. Senji bounced off the ropes and ducked a clothesline, bouncing off the ropes once more and hitting a Flying Shoulder Block on Gordon! Senji picked up Gordon and nailed a Russian Leg Sweep on him before bouncing off the ropes and nailing a Leg Drop! Senji picked up Gordon and hooked him up for the Crow Claw, but Gordon spun out of it and clotheslined Senji down! He picked Senji up to his feet, and lifted him up for the Gravity Blast (Fireman's Carry into Sit-Out Spinebuster), but Senji elbowed Gordon in the head several times and got off of him. He grabbed Gordon's arm and pulled him towards him...lifted him up high...

...AND HIT THE WONDERLAND WHIP!

"And Gordon gets whipped straight to freakin' Deadman Wonderland...figuratively, just to let you all know." Church said.

"And I think Gordon..." Sarge began.

Senji pins Gordon!

Gordon kicks out!

"Just Got...NOT Sarge'd!" Sarge finished.

"The rookie ain't going to let himself get beat that easily in a match like this!" Church said.

Senji picked up Gordon and placed him in the corner before lifting him up onto the top turnbuckle. After setting him up, Senji climbed up to the top, and went to grab him...

...BUT SLY SWIFTLY CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP AND HITS SENJI WITH A TOP-ROPE GERMAN SUPLEX! The crowd stands on its feet as Senji bounces off the mat hard before lying on it. Sly stands up...ONLY TO BE HIT WITH A DIVING CLOTHESLINE FROM GORDON! Sly stumbled up to his feet, and gets lifted up by Gordon...

...AND HIT WITH THE GRAVITY BLAST!

"And there's Gordon with his signatured dubbed the Gravity Blast!" Church stated.

"And it's a date with Gravity that has the dirty Blue down for the count!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sly kicks out!

"He was down, but NOT out! Sly kicks out just before three!" Church stated.

"Dammit, I was hoping for the out..." Sarge mumbled.

Gordon picked up Sly and placed him between his legs, hooking the arms and legs for the Resonance Cascade, but Sly suddenly Back Body Dropped the One Free Man! Gordon arched his back before getting up and throwing a clothesline, but Sly ducked it! He leaped at the middle ropes and Springboarded back to Gordon, landing on his shoulders in Electric chair position! SLY SUDDENLY PULLED OFF A VICTORY ROLL! 1...2...

...GORDON KICKS OUT! Both scrambled to their feet and Gordon caught an incoming Sly with a Sit-Out Scoop Slam! Gordon makes the cover! 1...2...Sly kicks out!

...AND HIT HIM WITH THE NINJA SPIRE KICK! Sly tried for a cover...BUT SENJI GRABBED HIM AND HIT THE CROW CLAW!

"Holy crap! Senji out of freakin' nowhere! Where did that Deadman come from?!" Church exclaimed.

"Don't care! Because he planted Sly big time! Hah! I loved it!" Sarge shouted.

Senji hooks the leg!

SLY KICKS OUT!

"But it is STILL not enough to keep the master thief!" Church stated.

"Come on ref, that was a damn three count! COUNT FASTER!" Sarge exclaimed.

Senji picked up Sly and lifted him up in the Argentine Rack! He flipped Sly over...and Sly landed on his feet in front of Senji! Sly nailed Senji with a Dropsault that sent him through the ropes and to the outside! Sly went to the ropes and took hold of them as Senji stood on the outside...

...AND SLY HIT A CORKSCREW PLANCHA ON SENJI! BUT SENJI CAUGHT HIM IN MID-AIR IN HIS ARMS! Sly struggled in his grip to no avail as Senji adjusted his position...AND HIT A RUNNING POWERSLAM AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS!

"Oh shit! Sly just gets CREAMED against those steel steps! Bad idea to fly!" Church stated.

"Hah, stupid little Sony Saint! Can we just put the stake in his chances already?" Sarge asked.

Sly cried in pain as he writhed on the floor and Senji smirked down at him before sliding back in the ring. He waited as Gordon got back to his feet before running at Gordon full speed...and gets lifted onto his shoulders! Senji gets planted with the Gravity Blast! Gordon picked up Senji, placed him between his legs, and hooked the arms and legs. He lifted Senji up...

...AND DROPS HIM WITH RESONANCE CASCADE!

"RESONANCE CASCADE! Gordon drops him on his head! Gordon's going to pull off one of the biggest upsets ever!" Church exclaimed.

"Sweet Sodium Chloride, Gordon's going to the chamber! Senji..." Sarge began.

WOLFGANG PULLS GORDON OUT OF THE RING BY THE LEG!

"You Just Got...WOLFGANG?!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Where the hell did Wolfgang come from?! He just kept Gordon from a damn Chamber spot!" Church exclaimed.

Gordon turned to face Wolfgang only to get clotheslined down to the floor by the Bully! Wolfgang dropped down and began raining down vicious punches to the skull of Gordon before stomping the living hell out of the One Free Man! He picked up Gordon and whipped him hard into the barricade back-first before grabbing him and nailing a Belly-To-Belly Suplex! Wolfgang stood over and shouted over to a stoic G-Man who watched all this "THIS IS YOUR CLIENT, HUH?! DOESN'T LOOK SO FULL OF POTENTIAL RIGHT NOW, HUH?!"

"That damn Wolfgang has possibly cost Gordon this match! He cost him a World Title shot!" Church exclaimed. "Damn that Bully!"

"Hey Wolfgang, a true veteran, was passed over by this Gordon! He has every right to do this!" Sarge stated.

"BULLSHIT!" Church shouted. "And you know it!"

Wolfgang backed up a bit and revved up his foot as Gordon slowly got back to his feet. He looked over to G-Man for a moment and shouted "TIME TO SHOW YOU WHO THE ALPHA MALE REALLY IS!" before running towards Gordon and pumping his foot towards him...AND GORDON DUCKS THE WOLF'S KICK! Wolf stumbles forward before turning around...and found himself tackled by Gordon! Gordon began to unleash a barrage of vicious and calculated fists to the skull of Wolfgang with an angry look on his face! Wolfgang did his best to cover up before managing to push Gordon off. He got up to his feet and leaned against the barricade...

...AND GORDON TACKLES HIM OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD! The crowd goes crazy as Gordon stands up and picks up Wolfgang, but the Bully nails a surprise right that sends him back! Gordon and Wolfgang began trading blows with each other as they move through the crowd and away from the ring!

"For the love of God, Gordon and Wolfgang are just beating the shit out of each other! They are fighting through that damn crowd!" Church said.

"But Wolfgang is taking Gordon away from the match! He's pulled him out of the running! It's down to Sly and Senji!" Sarge exclaimed.

Senji stirred in the ring as he held his head and neck in pain as Sly slowly pulled himself onto the apron. Senji stood up to his feet, and Sly grabbed the ropes, and and nailed a Springboard Over Castle on Senji! Senji again held his neck and head as he got to his knees, and Sly began nailing Daniel Bryan-like kicks across the chest of Senji! One kick...two kicks...three kicks...four kicks...five kicks...Senji caught the leg during the sixth kick. Senji stood up and nailed Sly with a sudden Flapjack! Senji picked up Sly, grabbed his head from behind...

...AND HIT A LIFTING INVERTED DDT!

"Hah, yes! That's putting down the damn Sony Saint in his place for good!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Senji's going for the cover! This could be it!" Church stated.

Senji hooks the leg!

SLY KICKS OUT!

Senji growled in frustation before picking up Sly and lifted him up in Argentine Rack position for the Invisible Black! But Sly elbowed Senji across the head a few times and landed behind him, nailing a Snap Neckbreaker in the process! Sly ran at the ropes, bounced back, and nailed a Running Standing Shooting Star Press on Senji! He hooks the leg! 1...2...SENJI KICKS OUT! Sly picks up Senji, and grabs him in a Rear Chancery, and went for the Honor Among Thieves, but Senji spun out of it and pushed Sly into the ropes. Sly bounced off them and into Discus Clothesline from Senji! Senji picks him up and lifts him up with a Full Nelson...

...but Sly wraps his leg around Senji mid-lift and rolls him up in a pin!

"Oh crap, roll-up! Roll-up!" Church exclaimed.

SENJI KICKS OUT AT 2.9!

"Ah Sam Hell, that was too close! That damn Saint nearly stole one!" Sarge exclaimed.

Both scrambled to their feet and Sly went for a clothesline, but Senji ducked it, grabbed the arm and pulled Sly towards him...AND HITS THE WONDERLAND WHIP! Sly rolls onto the apron and slowly gets up on it, but Senji goes over to him, picks him up, and tries to Suplex him out of the ring. Sly suddenly kneed Senji in the face as he was lifted several times before being dropped back onto the apron! Sly gave Senji a Hotshot across the ropes that caused him to stagger back. Sly leaped onto the ropes and nailed a Springboard Dropkick on Senji! He picked up Senji, grabbed his head in Rear Chancery...

...AND HIT THE HONOR AMONG THIEVES!

"HONOR AMONG THIEVES CONNECTS!" Church exclaimed.

"NOOOOO! DAMMIT! NOT THIS DIRTY SAINT!" Sarge exclaimed.

"In the words of Vegeta..." Church said.

Sly quickly hooks the legs!

SENJI KICKS OUT AT 2.99!

"AND NOT MATCH! SENJI KICKS OUT OF THE HONOR AMONG THIEVES! SENJI KICKS OUT!" Church exclaimed.

"YES! YES! THANK YOU DEADMAN FOR KICKING OUT!" Sarge praised.

Sly was stunned at the kickout and asked the ref it was indeed 2, and the ref confirmed. Sly shook his head before standing up and lifting Senji up, and locking him in a Rear Chancery again...

...and Senji spun out of it and nailed Sly with a Short-Arm Clothesline! Sly stumbled up to his feet and Senji caught him with a Standing Side Slam! Senji then got on the second turnbuckle and nailed Sly with an Elbow Drop from there! The cover! 1...2...

...SLY KICKS OUT! Senji picks up Sly but the thief pushes Senji and catches him with an Enziguri that staggers the Deadman! Sly then leaps onto the shoulders of Senji and goes for a Hurricarana...

...but Senji held onto him! With great strength, Senji pulled him back up into a Powerbomb position! Sly nailed Senji with a few rights as the Deadman backed up into a corner...AND NAILED SLY WITH A REVERSE POWERBOMB, SENDING HIM FACE-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!

"And the former World Champion gets dropped right across the damn turnbuckle!" Church stated.

"Hah! Not such a good landing for ya, was it Saint?!" Sarge questioned.

Sly stumbled backwards out of the corner, completely dazed, and found himself lifted onto Senji's shoulders! The crowd popped as Senji had him up and turned around...only for his eyes to widen in shock before dropping Sly...

...AND BOOTED AN INCOMING BEN TENNYSON OFF THE APRON!

"WHAT THE HELL?! TENNYSON! WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING HERE?! THAT BASTARD HAS NO REASON!" Church exclaimed.

Senji glared at Ben on the outside for the attempted interference...

...AND SLY SUDDENLY NAILED THE NINJA SPIRE KICK OUT OF NOWHERE!

"SWEET HOLY MACKREL! THAT DAMN SAINT JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE!" Sarge shouted.

Sly scrambles and hooks the leg!

SENJI KICKS OUT AT 2.999!

"And AGAIN, Senji kicks out! He just won't die!" Church stated.

Sly got on his knees, rubbing his temple in frustration. Suddenly, his eyes found his cane that was leaning against the ring apron outside. Sly looked out to the crowd, and they popped, realizing what he was getting at. Sly smirked and pointed towards the cane, and the crowd roared in approval. Sly shrugged and went over to the corner of the ring and grabbed his cane from the outside.

"Oh boy! The thieving tendencies of Sly are showing themselves! And that cane is 100% legal in this match!" Church stated.

"Dammit, just dammit...why can't that Blue just play fairly for once?!" Sarge questioned.

Sly turned to Senji and readied his cane as Senji slowly got up. Once Senji made it to his feet, Sly swung his cane...

...AND SENJI CAUGHT IT! Sly looked at Senji in shock and the Deadman snarled at him before tearing the cane away from Sly and nailing the thief with a Big Boot! Senji looked at the cane before deciding to pay Sly back for attempting to use it! Sly stumbled up to his feet, and Senji swung for the fences...

...Sly ducked the swing...

...AND SENJI RAN INTO A CROWBAR SHOT FROM TENNYSON ON THE APRON!

"OH DAMN! That damn Tennyson just cold-cocked Senji with Gordon's crowbar that was lying around!" Church exclaimed.

"And I don't think the stupid Saint saw what Ben did!" Sarge stated.

Ben dropped off the apron and hid behind it as Senji backed up in a complete daze! Sly saw Senji's state, and did the first thing that came to my mind! He grabbed Senji in a Rear Chancery...

...AND HITS THE HONOR AMONG THIEVES!

"Honor Among Thieves for the second time in this match!" Church stated.

"Well shit...hate to say this Senji, but..." Sarge began.

Sly hooks the leg!

"You Just Got Sarge'd!" Sarge finished.

("Sin With a Grin" by Shinedown)

"Here is your winner, Sly Cooper!"

A big mixed reaction came from the crowd as some were happy with the result, yet other were pissed at how it came about! Sly rolled off of Senji and out of the ring, grabbing his cane as he did so. Leaning against the apron, Sly held his head before grinning and turning towards the Final Clash sign. He pointed towards it a few times before making his way up the ramp, all the while Ben smirked from his hiding place behind the apron.

"Sly finally picks up the victory, and is heading to the Elimination Chamber, but it's not without a lot of shit going down! First, Wolfgang dragged Gordon out of the match with a brawl, and then all of a sudden, Ben attacks Senji and screws him over! I don't even think Sly knew that Tennyson hit Senji with a crowbar!" Church stated.

"As the hero of the universe, I trust Ben to know what he is doing at all times, but dammit, I hate that it came with the result of Sly winning! Ugh...he better not win at Last Stand or the ratings will go down the drain!" Sarge exclaimed.

"What the hell did Tennyson even gain from all of this?! He had no business being out here! What the hell man?!" Church exclaimed.

When Sly finally made his way to the backstage area, Ben popped up from behind the apron and slid into the ring. He stood over the fallen Senji who was finally stirring and trying to make his way back to his feet. With a shake of his head, Ben picked Senji up, pulled him towards him...

...AND NAILED WITH THE GALAXY STRIKE!

"OH COME ON! NOW THE DAMN GALAXY STRIKE?! WHAT IS YOUR DAMN PROBLEM, TENNYSON?!" Church questioned.

"Don't question the hero of the universe! He saved your ass, so you have no right to do such things!" Sarge stated.

Ben stared down at the prone body of the Hardcore Champion before adjusting his jacket and exited the ring to loud boos from the crowd. Chant of "Ben Sucks" rang throughout the arena, but he ignored them as he walked up the ramp. Senji again stirred in the ring and laid on his stomach, glaring angrily at Tennyson who stopped to look at him from the stage. Ben only flashed a smirk to Senji before heading to the back, leaving the Deadman fueled with rage.

"Goddammit, what the hell is going on?...I get Wolfgang attacking Gordon, but Ben attacking Senji?! What point was there to it?!" Church exclaimed.

"It had to have had something to do with Senji's words from last week! You saw the way Tennyson looked at Senji that time!" Sarge told him.

"BULLSHIT! Ben gets stuff like that said about him all the time, and he rarely gives a shit! Senji should be no different! And being eliminated from the Rumble by Senji shouldn't warrant this as well! What is this guy's deal?!" Church questioned.

"Well, whatever it is, I am sure that is a just reason! After all, the hero is always right!" Sarge stated.

"Idiot...ugh, we better get some answers about this and soon!" Church stated.

The camera goes to the interview area on the Titantron, where we see Donut with a mic, looking a bit stunned.

"Wow...well...that was chaotic...why can't we all just go to a tea party and not screw each other over?" Donut sighed. "I mean, is it really that hard to just get along? Just not right...well in any case...GOOD NEWS! It's interview time! And guess who my guests are? None other than the Tag Team Champions of the World, Tails and Knuckles! Great to have you guys here!"

The crowd cheered as Tails and Knuckles came onto the screen, wearing their titles over their shoulders.

"It's great to be here, Donut. Thanks for giving us this interview." Tails said.

"No problems guys! So eight days ago, you guys successfully defended your Tag Team Titles for the first time against Luigi and Yoshi! But there is no rest for the wary for some reason as a Tag Team Title series is now in place for you guys! The titles are going to be defended two weeks straight, with you defending agaisnt the Elrics tonight, and next week, the titles will be defended against Team 2D no matter who wins tonight! The odds aren't looking good in your favor of walking out of this whole situation as champions. Do you have anything to say as your match with the Elrics near?"

"Well, we will admit...it's going to be pretty damn tough walking out of all this still the champions." Tails stated. "Not only do our titles have to be defended two straight weeks in a row, which is tough to pull off for any champion, but they have to be defended against two of the best tag teams in the business today, the Elrics and Team 2D. I mean, the Elrics won the FWA for Best Tag Team of the Year awhile back, they are the first-ever and current AWF Tag Team Championa, and former CASZ Tag Team Champions! They are the fastest rising young tag team in the business today! And then there's Team 2D, a legendary tag team within Fiction Wrestling. 3-Time ECW Tag Team Champions, 6-Time and current UWE Duos Championa, and a record 7-time UCA World Tag Team Champions! They've held Tag Titles SIXTEEN TIMES! And they haven't lost a step one single step after all these years! They are still dishing out Non-Stop Violence wherever they go! Knowing those kinds of teams are coming after our gold for the next two weeks sure makes it seem like we might not even make it past the first defense against the Elrics...but you know what, we are not afraid! We are not afraid one bit! These teams want to come after our titles, then let come! We made it clear last week that we will take on any and all comers, and beat them all!"

"We know that the Elrics are hungry for their first taste of UCA gold...we know that Team 2D are looking to make history once more...but the fact is that we are determined to show why we are the best tag team today!" Knuckles grinned before pounding his fists together. "We didn't win these titles and stick it to the Mushroom Kingdom just so we could lose them a month later! No, we are going to show those two teams for these next few weeks why we are the World Tag Team Champions! Some may call us two singles wrestlers paired up together, but heh, that's far from the truth. Me and Tails have known each other for years, and we have teamed on so many occassions throughout the years! We know each other like the back of our hands! It's actually kind of a surprise that this is our first time being Tag Team Champions together, but now that we are, we plan on using our complete trust in one another, our bond, and our skills as both individuals and as a team to give a few deep impacts to these two teams! We respect them sure...but hey...doesn't mean we can't beat the crap out of them! This is OUR time right now, and through hell or high water, we are going to head to Final Clash as World Tag Team Champions! The Elrics and Team 2D think they got the advantage...no, THEY are the ones at a DISadvantage...they just haven't realized it yet."

"Elrics...Team 2D...hope you are ready...because today and next week...you four will find out why we are the Sonic Heroes, and the UCA World Tag Team Champions!" Tails proclaimed.

Tails and Knuckles gave each other a high-five before leaving the area.

---

"Tails and Knuckles make their thoughts known about the whole Tag Team Title Series, and they aren't intimidated in the least. They just seem more determined to get the wins!" Church said.

"I will admit I am rooting for them in the match with the Elrics since I despite those brothers, but they won't get past Team 2D at all!" Sarge stated.

"Well if Tails and Knuckles have their way, they WILL get past the cat and mouse and continue their reign as champions!" Church said.

"Hah, like they have a chance of getting out of this with their titles intact! Downright impossible for Blues like them!" Sarge exclaimed. "At the end of it all, Team 2D will reign as Tag Team Champions!"

("Indestructible" by Disturbed)

"Oh boy..." Church muttered.

The crowd booed loudly as Bowser stomped out onto the stage with a vicious scowl on his face and wasted no time walking down the ramp. He got on the apron and stepped over the ropes and into the ring.

"Ladies and gentleman, please welcome "The King of the Koopas" Bowser!"

"Oh man, the Lethal Enforcer himself is here with a new theme song that fits him perfectly! And with that new theme comes one PISSED OFF attitude! And if you watched last week, you would know why..." Church said.

"Of course they would know! Bowser had the World Title won, but Sonic came in and screwed the Koopa King out of it! I'm glad Mario is still Champion, but I can't help but feel bad for Bowser! It was so wrong!" Sarge stated.

"And Bowser ain't wasting any time getting into the ring...He wants to speak, and he wants to speak NO! He's in no mood for games!" Church said.

Bowser tore a mic from the ringside crew and stood in the ring, an angry growl escaping his lips before speaking. "Last week...last week was supposed to be my moment...it was supposed to be the beginning of the Bowser Era! I had the Mushroom Kingdom taken down! I had planted Mario with the Bowser Bomb! I had him pinned! THE WORLD TITLE WAS MINE!" Bowser seethed for a moment. "But it was ripped away from me at the last possible moment...by that damn hedgehog. He hit me with a steel chair and got Mario disqualified! And that ripped the World Title from my grasps because the title couldn't change hands on a DQ! AGAIN, I had the World Title taken from me! AGAIN, I was screwed over! Last week was not only supposed to be the result of four years of hard work in UCA, but of decades of fighting and battling for my very first World Title in Fiction Wrestling! I HAD IT! I HAD IT AND YOU ALL KNOW IT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU HATE IT! But no...Sonic decided to stick his nose in my business and tear me away from lifelong goal! Well...that hedgehog signed his own death sentence. Because if there's ONE THING you don't ever do to me...it's screw me out of the FUCKIN' WORLD TITLE! You would think he would screw over Mario, the bastard he has hated for so damn long, but no...he decides to go after me! That hedgehog is dead...oh, he is dead for certain! May God have mercy on the blue rat's soul because I sure as hell fuckin' won't! He cost me my lifelong goal...now I'm going to cost him his damn career! Sonic I am going to take your back, break it Bane-style, snap your surgically repaired leg by a twig, and leave you a broken, bloody mess! If you think the Devil is scary and dangerous...then you don't know true hell until you face me! Watch your damn back, rodent..."

Bowser made a motion to leave until...

("This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage)

The crowd exploded into thunderous cheers as Sonic came onto the stage with a mic in hand, a very serious expression on his face as Bowser glared at him from the ramp.

"Oh man, things just got more violatile! Sonic is out here, and he is probably in no mood to play games like Bowser is! He has a very serious and dark disposition as of late, and you can't really blame him." Church said.

"How dare that damn hedgehog show his face around after what he did to Bowser! And look how smug he is about it all! Just die you dirty Blue, DIE!" Sarge exclaimed.

Bowser growled angrily at the sight of Sonic. "YOU! What the hell are you doing here, you damn rodent?! How dare you intrude on MY time after what you pulled!"

Sonic just stared at Bowser with a very serious look before speaking. "Does it hurt? Does it sting? Does it hurt knowing that you had the World Title in your grasp, only to have it ripped away from you at the last possible? Does it burn you knowing that you had redemption over a man that had wronged you so many times at the tip of your tongue, and it was torn from you? Does it agonize you every second knowing that you were about to be a World Champion, only for someone to destroy that knowledge in front of your eyes? ...Well now you know how I feel Bowser. Now you how I felt and still feel when you screwed me over at Royal Reckoning! When you attacked me just as I was about to win the Last Man Standing Match and Chokeslammed and Bowser Bombed me, allowing Mario to win! Now you know how I feel! True, Mario is a person I despise with all my heart, and he WILL get what is coming to him in due time for his part in all of this! But let's face it...Mario just picked up the scraps. It was YOU who was the one that screwed me over and won the match for Mario, who robbed me of my chance at vengeance and redemption! And as such, there was no way in HELL I was going to let you win the World Title last week! Not in a fuckin' million years!"

"I did what I did to you because it was purely business, you dumb rodent!" Bowser retorted angrly. "I didn't do it to help that bastard Mario, I didn't do it because I hate you, and I certainly didn't do it out of petty jealousy! I did it to get myself a World Title shot in UCA that had been denied to me for years! Get that through your damn head, Sonic!"

"Even so...you still cost me so much...and no matter your reasons for what you did, I wasn't going to let you off the hook." Sonic stated coldly. "There's an old saying, Koopa King...'What goes around...comes around.' And it DEFINITELY came around last week. You screwed me out of the World Title...so I screwed YOU out of the World Title. An eye for an eye, I say. And with that accomplished, who knows what's going to happen between you and me? But I know this...it's that after the shit that was pulled on me at Royal Reckoning, I deserve to take the final spot in the Elimination Chamber at Last Stand, and finally get damn payback You can love that or you can hate that, but after what I have gone through, I KNOW I am the best candidate for that final spot, and YOU KNOW IT, BOWSER! And you will be forced to watch as I become World Champion and do nothing about it!"

"BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!" Bowser repeated angrily. "If anyone deserves that final spot in the Chamber, IT'S ME! I had the World Title won last week, and you and everyone else know it! Hell, I technically beat Mario, even if it was by freakin' DQ! And as such, a victory over the damn World Champion as well as what happened to ME should entitle me to that damn spot in the Chamber! THE WRONGS SHALL BE RIGHTED FOR ME! And I won't allow you to screw me out of this! No way in freakin' hell! If you don't move aside for this, then your impending demise shall come RIGHT NOW! AND I WILL LEAVE YOU A SHATTERED SHELL OF YOUR FORMER SELF!"

Sonic just scoffed at those words. "You? Leave me a shattered shell of myself? I find that very hard to believe since you make freakin' Mario look underrated with how you are, and that's saying something!"

The crowd went "Ooooohhhh!" as Bowser's eyes went wide with rage. "THAT'S IT, RODENT! PREPARE TO BE SENT TO HELL!" Bowser threw the mic away and exited the ring.

"BRING IT ON, YOU OVERGROWN TURTLE!" Sonic shouted as well before throwing the mic to the side and standing his ground on the stage.

"OH MAN, TENSIONS HAVE EXPLODED HERE ON FLAME! WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE WARFARE HERE!" Church exclaimed.

"YES BOWSER! GO RIP THAT PERSONIFICATION OF ALL THAT IS BLUE APART! SHATTER HIM TO PIECES!" Sarge shouted.

Bowser stomped his way up to the stage as Sonic told him to bring it, and he was halfway up the stage when...

"WOAH! WOAH! WOAH!" Force shouted as he ran out onto the stage and stood between Sonic and Bowser, trying to calm them down! "Hold your horses! Hold your horses! Keep the fists away from each other for a moment!" Sonic and Bowser glared at the fox as he tried to keep things down. "Now look, I know you two want to beat the living shit out of each other, but from my point of view, fighting here and now won't solve anything and it may result in injuries I don't want that for either for you! No...no I got a BETTER idea for you two! You two want to hurt each other bad right? Get the other back for what has been done to you? And you each made CREDIBLE cases as to why you should be in the Elimination Chamber, seeing as how you were both screwed out of your title shots by the other. So what I am going to do...is this. Since the card is full tonight, next week on Monday Night Flame, it will be..."The Blue Blur" Sonic the Hedgehog...going one-on-one...with "The Koopa King" and "Lethal Enforcer" Bowser! And guess what, guys? IT'S GOING TO BE AN ELIMINATION CHAMBER QUALIFYING MATCH! So the winner of that match gets the final spot! Hopefully, next week will settle things between you two! Now if you would please get to the back PEACEFULLY, thank you..."

The crowd cheered wildly at the announcement as Force left the stage and went to the back, leaving Sonic and Bowser alone. Bowser came up to Sonic and stared him down, and the hedgehog showed no fear in response. After a few moments, Bowser said "See you next week, rodent..." before leaving for the back, Sonic watching him the whole time.

"Oh man...Force managed to avert disaster, but he has made one hell of a match for next week!" Church said. "Bowser and Sonic! One-on-one for the final spot in the Chamber! So much at stake!"

"Emotions will definitely be at an all-time high, and you will see Bowser tear Sonic to pieces before heading onto the Chamber! It's set in stone!" Sarge stated.

"Nothing is ever set in stone, Sarge, you know that. After all, remember when you found your entire military career was a lie?" Church quipped.

"Oh shut up, your dirty Blue!" Sarge replied.

---

The camera goes to the backstage hallways where we see Mario, his body bandaged up and World Title over his shoulder, watching what had just happened on a monitor. Mario just scowled in response.

"Mamma mia, are you-a serious?!" Mario exclaimed. "I already retained my title against those two! And in consecutive nights I might add! I shouldn't have to deal with them anymore right now! But now one of them may get into the damn Chamber?! I call foul on that! Neither one them deserve a shot at my title now! They should be out of the title picture! Gone! Kaput! Augh, that damn Force really is trying to find ways to piss me off even more! Such a travesty to do against the Greatest Champion Ever!"

"What's wrong Mario, scared that one of those two will rip the title from you?" Mario snapped his head to see Sly coming to him, his usual smirk on his face. "It's understandable, since either of those two can whip your ass on any day. But good news is that neither of them will be taking your title. Bad news: I'm going to be the one to take that title since I'm in the Elimination Chamber now! And it's been far too long since I've World Title gold in my view! So why not remedy that by winning a Chamber and then heading to Final Clash as champion? Seems like the best solution to me!"

"Oh haha, you and your little jokes, coon!" Mario said sarcastically. "You can go and make all your little assumptions if you want. You may have been able to get into the Chamber thanks to Ben knocking Senji out with a crowbar, but it won't make a damn difference! I have held this title for over a year and still counting! I have survived every damn odd that has been thrown at me! And I will survive this Chamber like I have survived everything else!" Mario raised the World Title into Sly's face. "And I'll be damned if an overrated Pokemon trainer, wacko marsupial, inverted Sonic, and stupid thief like you stop me when I'm this close to Final Clash!"

"Wait a minute...Tennyson hit Senji with a crowbar when I wasn't looking?" Sly asked surprised before frowning. "Of course...why am I not surprised? Well, hearing that, kind of makes my victory a little less satisfying seeing as I rather steal wins on my own, and not with help from a guy like Ben, but nonetheless, I'm in, and I am winning that Chamber. But even if I don't...not like you will anyway. Not only are you not in the best of shapes right now, history is not on your side. Over ten Elimination Chambers have happened in UCA, and only TWICE has the title ever been retained inside it in this company. I should know...I was one of the two who managed to do it. With such history against you, you are already at a big disadvantage."

"In case you forgotten, Cooper, I WON AN ELIMINATION CHAMBER TO WIN THIS TITLE OVER A YEAR AGO!" Mario shouted.

"Yeah...but winning a title inside the Chamber is VERY different from retaining one." Sly smirked. "Like I said, I know that all too well. I mean...your track record with retaining titles inside the Chamber isn't the best. May I remind you of UWE all those years ago...their first Elimination Chamber Match? You walked in as Omega Champion...and you walked out with NOTHING! You lost while PaRappa walked out with his dream. And if you couldn't retain a title in your PRIME inside this structure...you sure as hell can't do it now."

"I WILL RETAIN! I WILL RETAIN NO MATTER WHAT! I AM THE GREATEST CHAMPION EVER! THE CHAMPION OF LIFE! MR. NINTENDO! I WILL NOT BE FELLED NOW OF ALL TIMES!" Mario shouted angrily, pointing as his World Title. "THIS IS MINE DAMMIT! MINE! AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE MINE!"

"Keep telling yourself that, Mario, because let's face it...it's all you CAN do at this point." Sly chuckled. "I have every belief that Last Stand...WILL BE your Last Stand...and who knows?" Sly tipped his hat with his cane, grinning. "The sly little thief may just take back what is his after so damn long. See you later, 'Greatest Champion Ever'..."

Sly walked away, happy with what he had done, while Mario fumed angrily from his position, before slowly holding the World Title close to his chest...a bit of fear in his eyes.

---

"Oh man...Sly laid it out in the only way he can. He showed how much the odds are against Mario this time...not even Royal Reckoning had this much against the self-proclaimed "Greatest Champion Ever"..." Church stated.

"But the greatest RED ever has managed to find ways to survive time and time again! He's like Gwen Tennyson from CCW! It's impossible to take the title from him! He always finds a way to win!" Sarge exclaimed.

"But Sarge...NOTHING lasts forever, no matter how much people may want them to. And though Mario managed to escape so many times, Last Stand may just be what Sly said...his last stand!" Church stated.

"NO! Mario will find a way! He always finds a way! Why?! Because he's the Greatest Champion Ever! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!" Sarge chanted, while Church just facepalmed.

("Killa Queen" by Dale Oliver)

The crowd booed loudy as Peach came out with a scowl on her face. She looked out to the booing crowd for a few moments before turning her back to them and raised her arms Laycool-style. She then mader her way down the ramp haughtily, and quickly entered the ring and quickly climbed the turnbuckle, holding her arms out as if she were to be worshipped and bowed at.

"The following contest is a Six-Pack Challenge Qualifying Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing and from the Mushroom Kingdom, weighing in at 129 lbs, Princess Peach!"

"Last time we saw Peach, she was getting pinned by Lightning at Royal Reckoning, failing to become an eight-time UCA Women's Champion! Tonight, she looks to get one more shot at the title!" Church said.

"And I have full confidence she can get into the Six-Pack Challenge! She's a seven-time champion for a reason! And she's the wife of the greatest Red in damn history! Like anything could stop her!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Well, we'll have to wait and see who her opponent is before assuming that." Church said.

Peach waited in the ring with a haughty air about her, fully confident she would win...until the low-strumming of a guitar was heard throughout the arena...

("Agent Tex (Instrumental)" by Jeff Williams)

"Ooooohhhhhhh no..." Church said as Sarge stiffened in shock.

Peach's eyes widened as the crowd went crazy as Agent Tex came out onto the stage with a focus in her step. She stood on the stage, staring down a stunned Peach before pounding her fist into her palm and cracking her neck menacingly. She walked down the ramp as the crowd chanted "Tex! Tex! Tex!" and she leaped onto the apron and entered the ring. She then threw her hand forward as if though throwing a fist and raised her fist high.

"And her opponent, from Blood Gulch, weighing in at 167 lbs., Agent Tex!"

"Oh shit, Peach is SOOOOO screwed now! Her opponent is Tex! My ex-girlfriend is a three-time UCA Women's Champion, and more importantly, the 2008 Royal Rumble Winner! The FIRST Female Rumble Winner in Fiction Wrestling history! Hell, she even beat Animated's Sailor Moon in a Last Woman Standing Match a few years ago! This girl is one straight badass!" Church said.

"I am forced to agree with you dirty Blue, for I have seen her badassness first hand! I was forced to deal with some of her terrible beatings! And they hurt like hell! Though she only kicked my ass because I never hit a girl in my life! Yet Tex...she's dangerous!" Sarge stated.

"Facing a girl like Tex...a princess like Peach may as well have NO chance in hell! Tex may tear her apart if Peach isn't careful!" Church stated.

Peach gulped in fear as Tex stared at her from corner in the ring, and the ref checked on both of them...

("Seduction" by Eminem)

"What the...?" Church began.

Everyone's head snapped to the stage where they see Samus Aran come out onto the stage. Tex and Peach were confused at the presence of the Metroid protagonist as Samus just stood there on the stage with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Samus?! What is she doing out here?!" Church asked.

"I don't know! We haven't heard much from Samus since she came to UCA! So we don't know what she is up to!" Sarge stated. "Maybe...scoping out the division she's now in?"

"I have absolutely no idea..." Church stated bluntly.

Tex just shook her head, deciding to just forget about Samus and focus on the match. The ref rang the bell and Tex wasted no time in cornering Peach in one of the corners. She went to grab her, but Peach slid out of the corner and nailed a quick right before backing away. Tex followed her and went to grab her again, but Peach avoided her once more and nailed another right before moving away. Tex was getting annoyed as she once again slowly trapped Peach and went to grab her again, b but Peach again dodged her. Peach tried for another right, but Tex caught the fist, shocking Peach. Tex shook her head before hitting a HARD Short-Arm Clothesline that nearly turned Peach inside and out! Tex mounted Peach and nailed several vicious punches that Peach tried to cover up from to no avail. Tex picked up Peach and whipped her hard back-first into the corner before hitting a Running Shoulder Ram to the gut of Peach. The princess staggered out of the corner as Tex bounced off the ropes and nailed a Big Boot to caused Peach to flip completely and land on the mat.

"Oh man, to no one's surprise, Tex is whipping Peach's ass right now!" Church said.

"Peach needs to find an opening and quick is she wants to SURVIVE!" Sarge exclaimed.

Tex picked up Peach, lifted her onto her shoulder, and nailed a Running Powerslam on Peach! Tex hooks the leg! 1...2...Peach kicks out! Tex stands and nails a few Knee Drops across Peach's abdomen before picking her up and whipped her into the ropes. She went for a Back Body Drop as Peach came back, but Peach caught her with a Facebreaker Knee Smash. Tex was stunned as Peach ran at her, but Tex tried to catch her with a clothesline. Peach ducked it, and hit a Chop Block from behind on her. Tex fell to a knee and Peach bounced off the ropes and nailed a Dropkick to the skull. Peach makes the cover! 1...2...Tex kicks out. Peach grabs Tex's head and begins to slam it down on the mat repeatedly before picking her up and whipping her into the corner. Peach ran and naile a Stinger Splash on Tex, followed by a Running Bulldog! Peach hooks the leg! 1...2...Tex kicks out!

"Peach has finally managed to take control against Tex! And here I thought it would be a squash throughout!" Church said.

"Screw you dirty Blue! Peach ain't a seven-time Women's Champion for nothing! And-Oh damn these fans!" Sarge exclaimed.

Peach stood up as the fans began to chant "Tex Is Gonna Kill You!" at her! Peach shouted angrily back at them to shut up, only for them to chant it even louder. Peach responded by stomping the hell out of of the Freelancer and bounced off the ropes and nailed a Leg Drop. Peach locked in a Headlock on Tex, and tightened it as much as she could. Tex stood up however with Peach, and lifted her for a Back Suplex. Peach landed behind Tex and Dropkicked her knee from behind, forcing her back to a knee. Peach grabbed her head from behind and nailed an Inverted DDT! Peach hooks the leg! 1...2...Tex kicks out! Peach picks up Tex and places her in the corner, before climbing up to the second ropes and began nailing vicious punches to the skull. 1...2...3...4...5...6...

...Tex suddenly grabs Peach and lifts her onto her shoulders! Peach flails around as Tex runs across the ring...AND HITS A TURNBUCKLE POWERBOMB ON PEACH! Peach staggers out of the corner, out of it, and was grabbed Tex...

...WHO HITS A GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB!

"And Peach now deals with the power of the Freelancer known as Tex! Those Powerbombs looked vicious as hell!" Church stated.

"And now Tex is going for the pin!" Sarge said.

Tex hooks the leg!

1...

2...

Peach kicks out!

"But Peach somehow finds a way to kick out!" Church said.

"She's tougher than she looks, remember that you dirty Blue!" Sarge said.

Tex picked up Peach and lifted her up for the Texas Dominator (Inverted Sitout Side Powerslam), but Peach got out of it and landed behind Tex. She ran the ropes and bounced off them, ducking a clothesline, and coming back with a Flying Forearm to Tex. Peach bounced off the ropes and nailed Tex a Jumping Knee Smash as she was on her knees. Peach picked up Tex and went to lift her up for a Suplex...

...but Tex remained rooted to the ground. Peach tried to lift her up a few more times, but got lifted up and nailed with a Front-Layout Suplex! Peach stumbled to her feet and Tex quickly hit her with a Spinning Double Leg Takedown! Tex then hooked up the legs, and locked in a Texas Cloverleaf! Peach cried out in pain as Tex wrenched on the hold as much as she could. Peach pulled on her hair, trying to keep herself from giving up. She saw the ropes and slowly crawled towards them. She reached a hand out to them...

...

...and grabbed the bottom rope!

"Peach manages to catch a break and get herself out of the hold before she had to tap!" Church stated.

"The princess needs to find a way to get back in control! Otherwise, Tex is going to destroy her!" Sarge said.

The ref counted to 4 and Tex let go of the hold. Peach used the ropes to pull herself up until she was picked up by Tex. But as she was, she grabbed Tex and threw her through the ropes to the outside. Tex got to her feet as Peach bounced off the ropes and nailed a Baseball Slide on Tex, sending her into the barricade. Peach slid out of the ring, pulled Tex to her and rammed her back-first into the barricade. Peach grabbed Tex and nailed a DDT on the outside! Peach threw Tex back into the ring and got on the apron, climbed the corner...

...AND HIT A TOP ROPE BODY SPLASH!

"Top Rope Body Splash, shades of her XCW Finisher! This could be it!" Church said.

Peach hooks the leg.

1...

2...

Tex kicks out!

"No, so close! Peach has got to stay on top though! COME ON PEACH! YOU HAVE TO!" Sarge urged.

Peach looked frustrated at the kickout before standing up and kicking Tex in the head. She picked Tex up and nailed a Snap Neckbreaker before bouncing off the ropes and nailed a Rolling Senton! Peach covers! 1...2...Tex kicks otu! Peach turns over Tex and locks in a Camel Clutch! Tex hissed in pain as Peach pulled back on the head and yelled at her "TAP OUT, BITCH! THIS IS MY KINGDOM!" Tex shook her head in refusal though, and slowly but surely, she began to get to her knees. She stood up with Peach on her back and the hold still locked on. Peach was stunned as Tex backed up...

...and crushed Peach in the corner! Peach let go of the hold and leaned against the corner as Tex walked out to the adjacent corner, holding her neck for a brief second before turning back to Peach, ran full steam...AND NAILED A VICIOUS CORNER CLOTHESLINE ON HER! Peach's body practically jolted up from the impact before falling back down being pulled in for a vicious Short-Arm Clothesline! Tex pulled her back up for another Short-Arm Clothesline before picking her up once more, setting and lifting her up...

...AND HITTING A CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB ON HER! Tex stood up and gave a battle cry to the delight of the fans before crouching in a corner and stalking Peach.

"Oh man! Oh man! Peach's future may involved getting her body broken in damn two!" Church stated.

"Peach needs to see this! Peach needs to see this! Needs to before it's too late!" Sarge begged.

Peach stirred and did her best to push herself off the mat as Tex crouched in wait in the corner. Peach managed to get to her feet, turned around, and Tex ran forward...

...AND PEACH SIDESTEPPED THE FREELANCE (Spear with Goldberg-like Impact)! Tex crashed into the second turnbuckle hard and got to her feet in a daze. Peach took this chance and nailed a Backstabber on Tex! Tex arched her back in pain before picked up and lifted onto Peach's shoulders...

...AND NAILED WITH THE NINTENDOZER!

"NINTENDOZER! Shades of her husband, Mario!" Church exclaimed.

"YES! Peach defied the odds! Tex..." Sarge began.

1...

...

2...

...

TEX KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...Ah, Of course!" Sarge moaned in despair.

"Tex kicks out and shows that she's still as tough as they come!" Church stated.

Peach looked angry at the kickout before screaming in despondency. She stood up and began stomping the living hell out of Tex, and after ten stomps, Peach picked up Tex and set her up for the Peach Blossom! She tried to fall back to hit Tex's head on the knee, but Tex got out of it and pushed the princess away. Peach ran back at Tex, but Tex nailed her with a HUGE Back Body Drop! Peach arched her back in pain as Tex leaned against the ropes, and the princess managed to get back to her feet...

...AND TEX STRUCK HER WITH THE FREELANCE!

"FREELANCE! Tex nearly destroys Peach with the damn Freelance! And this crowd has gone crazy!" Church said.

"Oh Peach...Peach just got Sarge'd...so not fair..." Sarge groaned in despair.

Tex leaps up and gives out a great roar as the crowd went crazy before giving a cutthroat gesture and throwing her arm down. She picked up Peach, set her up, and lifted her onto her shoulder...

"Oh no! Not the Texas Dominator! Anything but the-" Sarge began to beg.

"HEY! What the hell, Samus?!" Church exclaimed.

Unknown to Tex and the others, Samus had began walking down the ramp when Tex nailed the Freelance, and had now jumped on the apron. Tex looked surprised as she held Peach on her shoulder and turned to her, Samus staring at her with an unreadable expression. "What the hell are you doing?!" Tex shouted at Samus. Suddenly, Samus slowly put herself through the ropes. Tex suddenly got on guard as Samus slowly came through the ropes...

...AND PEACH GOT OFF TEX'S SHOULDER AND ROLLED HER UP FROM BEHIND! PEACH HAS A HANDFUL OF TIGHTS!

"WAIT! WHAT THE HELL?!" Church exclaimed.

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

3!

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Church shouted.

"YES!" Sarge cheered.

("Killa Queen" by Dale Oliver)

"Here is your winner, Princess Peach!"

The crowd was in shock as Peach got off of Tex and quickly got out of the ring as the Freelancer sat up in shock. Samus immediately got her body back out of the ring and got off the apron as Peach ran around the ring and up the ramp in a frenzy. She stumbled onto the stage, with a look of shock and happiness on her face as she shouted "I DID IT! I DID IT! I BEAT TEX!" Peach wasted no time then in getting to the back after that.

"What...what the hell just happened?!" Church asked.

"I'll tell you what happened: Peach beat Tex! Peach defied fuckin' fate and defeated the badass Freelancer herself! She deserves to be the Princess! Only she could have done this! Now she's going to Last Stand! Hooray for Peach!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Bullshit Sarge! She only won because she had the tights when the ref wasn't looking, and you know it! And that only happened because...because SAMUS distracted Tex from getting the win! But why?!" Church questioned.

Tex looked absolutely stunned and confused at what just happened before her sight landed on Samus Aran, who was backing up the ramp with the same unreadable expression she always had. Rage filled Tex's being as she realized what happened before standing up and going over to the ropes, glaring daggers at the bounty hunter. Samus just continued to stare at Tex from the top of the ramp...before flashing a small smirk at the Freelancer, and for the first time since coming to UCA, she was booed by the fans before she went to the back.

"I have absolutely no idea what just happened...first Ben with Senji, now Samus with Tex...what the hell is with these people?!" Church questioned.

"I don't know, but SURELY Samus must have had a reason for what she did! After all, she IS the first Female World Champion after all!" Sarge stated.

"Well, either way, she's got the wrath of Tex on her now, and if she ain't careful, Tex may tear her apart!" Church stated.

The camera goes to the backstage area on the Titantron, where we see Hope and Shadow the Hedgehogs talking with each other about the situation they were now in.

"Wow...got to admit...I wasn't expecting what we are in right now." Hope said to Shadow as he sat on a box.

"Yeah...me and you teaming together...and not just teaming...but coming back together for one night...as D-Hedgeration X." Shadow nodded with a pensive. "The first time we return to our degenerate roots since those damn Mario Bros. forced us to disband last year...it's...kind of surreal. I admit, I didn't expect anything like to this to happen until much later. But here we are now...just 13 days away from the reunion..."

"Yep...and we were just finally accepting to focus on our singles careers in UCA right now." Hope sighed. "It's definitely going to take a bit of work for us to get back into our degenerative mood, you know? I mean, after all, it's not something that we can just click on just like that. It's a mindset that we have to be put into when certain situations happen. I mean, isn't that how D-Hedgeration X first came about?"

"Indeed, Hope, indeed." Shadow nodded in confirmation. "But we got friends and other degenerates and mischievious friends willing to help us get back into the mood, so I think we can pull it off. And beisdes, we are facing those bastards, Jason and Chaos after all. And if any two people are worth getting back into authority-rebelling, prank-pulling, laid-back craziness atittude for, it's those two insane jerks!" Shadow smirked at Hope, who slightly smirked back.

"Yeah, no doubt...it will take some work, but D-Hedgeration X WILL make the reunion by the time Last Stand rolls by!" Hope proclaimed determinedly. "And when we do, we are going to show why we are-"

Hope was cut off as he was knocked off the box from a kendo stick shot from Jason Krueger! Shadow was stunned, but got taken down by Chaos before he could do anything. Chaos unloaded punches on Shadow as Jason slammed the kendo stick over Hope again and again! Chaos picked up Shadow and threw him head-first into the concrete wall before nailing a Double A Spinebuster onto one of the boxes! Jason nailed a White Russian Leg Sweep on Hope before picking him up and grabbing a silver platter and slamming it over Hope's skull! Chaos picked up a steel chair and slammed it over Shadow's skull before lifting him up and nailing him with the Ragnarok, and then tossed the chair to Jason, who threw it straight into Hope's face! Jason then finished things off with a Brink of Insanity on Hope. The IC Champ and God of Destruction stood over the two hedgehogs with sneers on their faces.

"Heh...you can thank Chaos for this little visit of ours...he suggested it, and I just couldn't resist going for it! A perfect way of showing you two what you are dealing with come Last Stand!" Jason chuckled insanely. Chaos knelt down to the two hedgehogs and spoke.

"In 13 days...it won't matter if you are your usual selves...or if you are mischievious, degenerate pranksters...for me and Jason are out for your blood." Chaos proclaimed. "And we will stand tall over you no matter what, just like tonight. However, unlike tonight...you two won't be getting back up at Last Stand. Prepare to feel destruction that makes this look like child's play..."

Chaos and Jason then left the area, leaving Hope and Shadow writhing on the floor.

---

"Oh crap. Jason and Chaos...they just left Hope and Shadow lying...if this is just a taste of what they are capable of...then those hedgehogs may be in trouble come Last Stand!" Church said.

"Of course they are in trouble, dirty Blue! What do you get when you put the God of Destruction together with the Messiah of Neckbreakers? YOU GET TOTAL DESTRUCTION! Hope and Shadow will have their last stand in 13 days!" Sarge proclaimed.

"Hope and Shadow...they need to get back into the degenerate swing of things and soon! If they don't become the "Duo That Made Degeneration Popular Again" again real soon, then Jason and Chaos will tear them apart!" Church stated.

"Hah, as if once again becoming D-Hegeration X will do any good for those damn two! They are going to be taken down by the team I dub 'Unholy Destroyers'!" Sarge said.

("Killa Queen" by Dale Oliver)

The crowd booed as Daisy came out onto the ramp with a haughty and cocky smirk on his face. Giggling out at the booing crowd, she turned her back to them and raised her hands into the air before making her way down the ramp in a haughty fashion before sliding into the ring, holding her arms out in a royal manner.

"The following contest is a Six-Pack Challenge Qualifying Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Mushroom Kingdom, weighing in at 124 lbs., Daisy!"

"The trifecta of Qualifying Matches is completed as the fifth spot in the Six-Pack Challenge ast Last Stand is about to be filled." Church said. "Daisy is a former Women's Champion in her own right, and she looks to join her BFF, Peach, in the match."

"Luigi may have failed to join Mario in the Elimination Chamber, but I have every sense of faith that Daisy will pull through for the great Mushroom Kingdom princess! She's good you know! Very underrated!" Sarge stated.

"Well, we have yet to know who her opponent is, so nothing is set in stone as usual. Let's see who faces Daisy for this spot." Church said.

Daisy stood in the ring, waiting for her opponent for several moments, until...

("Secret Weapon" by MxPx)

"WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!" Church exclaimed.

The crowd immediately stood out of it's feet in shock as Daisy looked stunned...

...

...as Green came out onto the stage, in her FireRed/GreenLeaf outfit, a big eager, and mischievious smile on her face. The crowd went crazy once more for the returning Pokemon trainers before she threw her hands out in rock n' roll style before striking a pose to a blast of green pyro from the stage. Green then walked down the ramp, slapping hands and hugging fans at ringside before getting on the apron and jumping over the top rope. She struck a pose for the fans once more as they chanted "Welcome Back! Welcome Back!"

"And her opponent, from Pallet Town, Kanto, weighing in at 120 lbs., Green!"

"HOLY SHIT! It's Green! The legend herself has made her return to UCA! This woman was part of the original Pokemon Trio of UCA, debuting in 1997, and since then, she has racked up SIX Women's Title reigns, second most reigns with that title! Not only that though, she is the LONGEST-REIGNING UCA Women's Champion in history, holding the title for fourteen straight months in 2000-2001! This girl is a bonafide legend!" Church stated.

"Oh damn, Daisy has a MOUNTAIN to climb to get to the Six-Pack Challenge for her BFF! But Peach was able to survive Tex! So I have every faith that Daisy can do the same! GO DAISY!" Sarge cheered.

"Well, we'll see what happens when Daisy and Green go one-on-one. Uspets can happen, and who knows if anything like what happened last match will happen here." Church said.

Green took off her hat and placed it ringside as Daisy seethed and the ref rang the bell. The two met in the center of the ring as Daisy slack-jawed Green, finishing with "You don't belong here anymore, bitch!" She pushed Green hard, and Green just smirked before nailing a hard right that sent Daisy to the mat. Daisy rolled to the corner where Green began to stomp Daisy into oblivion. The ref managed to pull her away and Green held her hands up with a smirk. She picked up Daisy and whipped her into the adjacent corner. Green then ran and nailed a Running Dropkick to Daisy in the corner. Daisy stumbled out of the corner, and Green bounced off the ropes and nailed a Running Bulldog! Daisy stumbled up to her feet, and Green grabbed her, hitting a T-Bone Suplex on her! Green hooks the legs! 1...2...Daisy kicks out! Green picked up Daisy, but the princess kicked her in the knee followed by a Swinging Neckbreaker! Daisy picked up Green and nailed a Knee Breaker followed by a Overhead Belly-to-Back Suplex! Daisy crawls for the cover! 1...2...Green kicks out! Daisy picks up Green and whips her into the ropes and goes for a Back Body Drop! Green leaps over Daisy and bounces off the ropes as Daisy turns around and nails her with a Spinning Wheel Kick! Green stands up and plays to the crowd, who respond back greatly.

"Man, Green is looking good! I've heard that she was worried about some ring rust when she would return awhile back , but there seems to be no ring rust here!" Church said.

"Gah, this is not good at all! Daisy needs to get back in control soon! We can't have a dirty Blue like Green winning here!" Sarge stated.

Green picked up Daisy and nailed Knife Edge Chops to the chest of Daisy, eliciting "Wooos" from the crowd! Green whipped Daisy into the ropes and caught her with a Jumping Back Elbow as she came back. Green picked up Daisy and lifted her up and nailed a Slingshot Suplex, floating over into a cover! 1...2...Daisy kicks out! Green picks up Daisy and hooks the arm, but Daisy spins out of it and kicks Green in the gut and nailed her with a Flowing DDT! Daisy picked up Green and placed her between the legs, before lifting her up and nailing a Sit-Out Powerbomb! The cover! 1...2...Green kicks out! Daisy picks up Green and whips her into the corner, and then runs after her, but Green caught her with an elbow. Green leaps onto the turnbuckle, but Daisy grabs her and pulls her down to the mat hard! Daisy picks up Green and quickly hits a Shoulderbreaker on her!

"Oh man, Daisy gets back in control! She's actually a very underrated wrestler, and she can take Green to the limit." Church stated.

"She won't just take Green to the limit, she'll beat her! Why? Because she's the BFF of the wife of the Greatest Red Ever!" Sarge exclaimed.

Daisy set up Green and stomped her head as she laid on the mat hard and picked her up. She locked in a Wrist Lock and elbowed the arm hard before nailing a Russian Leg Sweep! Daisy picks up Green and nails a few Overhand Chops on Green, before twisting the arm and nailing a Back Suplex on her. Daisy then got on the apron and climbed the corner. She dived off...

...AND GREEN GETS THE KNEES UP! Daisy crashes down onto them and gets up holding her stomach, and gets a Capo Kick straight to the face! Daisy fell to the mat and rolled over to the ropes, slowly standing up against them. Green clotheslined Daisy over the ropes, but Daisy managed to land on the apron. Green grabbed the ropes as Daisy stood on the apron...slingshotted herself over them...

...AND NAILED A HURRICARANA ON DAISY OFF THE APRON TO THE FLOOR!

"HOLY SHIT! Green just Slingshot Hurrciarana'd Daisy off the damn apron! That's crazy for ya!" Church stated.

"Hey, when the hell did that become possible?! I need the logic meter to see if that was supposed to be possible!" Sarge exclaimed.

"...Sarge, you are no way qualified to judge if things are logical..." Church deadpanned.

The crowd goes crazy as Green stands on the outside and throws up a rock horn with a mischievous smirk on her face. She sees Daisy writhing on the floor and gets on the apron, waiting as Daisy got up...

...AND THEN NAILED HER WITH AN ASAI MOONSAULT!

"AND GREEN FLIES HIGH! That Poke-girl is showing why she is six-time Women's Champion!" Church stated.

"Goddammit, Daisy do something! You are a Red, for Red's sake!" Sarge exclaimed.

Green picked up Daisy and whips her into the steel post...but Daisy reversed and whips Green face-first into the steel post instead! Green fell down holding her head in pain and Daisy wasted no time in picking her back up and whipping her, pulling her back, and nailing a Powerslam against the barricade! Green arched her back before finding herself thrown into the ring by Daisy. Daisy gets on the apron, then climbs the turnbuckle as Green gets up...

...AND HITS A DIVING SWINGING NECKBREAKER!

"Diving Swinging Neckbreaker from Daisy! Daisy may be going to Last Stand with the BFF!" Church said.

Daisy hooks the leg!

1...

2...

Green kicks out!

"Ah dammit, the legend kicked out! Daisy's got to do something to win here!" Sarge exclaimed.

Daisy picks up Green and kicks her in the gut before placing her between her legs and tried to lift her up, but Green stayed on the ground and Back Body Dropped Daisy. Green picks up Daisy and nails a few punches to the face before whipping, but Daisy spins herself mid-whip to face Green, and pulls her into a Flapjack! Green stumbles to her feet, and gets a HARD kick to the face, causing her to stand up in a daze. Daisy grabbed her and nailed a Reverse Atomic Drop followed by a clothesline! Daisy picked up Green and placed her on the top turnbuckle of a nearby corner. She climbed up, grabbed the arm...

...AND HIT A TOP-ROPE ARM DRAG ON GREEN!

"OH SHIT! An Arm-Drag super-sized by Daisy! She's pulling out all the stop to beat Green here!" Church said

"And Green..." Sarge began.

Daisy runs to Green and hooks the leg!

1...

2...

Green kicks out!

"You Just Got...Not Sarge'd...dammit." Sarge said.

Daisy sits up annoyed before picking up Green and lifting her up for a Scoop Slam. Green however managed to slip behind Daisy and grabs her head from behind. She hits a Rear Chancery Backbreaker, and tries to follow it up with a Neckbreaker, but Daisy pushes her into the ropes. Green bounces off the ropes and ducks a clothesline from Daisy, leaps at the ropes...

...AND CATCHES DAISY WITH A SPRINGBOARD ENZIGURI! Daisy falls to the mat out of it, and Green gets up and quickly grabs her in an Oklahoma Roll! 1...2...DAISY KICKS OUT! Daisy gets up, and gets a Spinning Heel Kick to the jaw. Daisy stumbles to her feet, and Green grabs her...

...AND HITS HER WITH A FISHERMAN'S SUPLEX!

"Fisherman's Suplex! Shades of...perfection on that one!" Church pointed out.

Green keeps Daisy in a pin!

1...

...

2...

...

Daisy kicks out!

"But not even perfection can keep down Daisy! GOOD FOR YOU DAISY!" Sarge cheered.

Green picks up Daisy, but Daisy suddenly catches her with a Complete Shot! Daisy gets up and grabs the leg of Green, trying for a Single-Leb Boston Crab. Green fought hard against it, and managed to kick Daisy off her and into the ropes. Daisy bounced off them AND INTO A SMALL PACKAGE FROM GREEN! 1...2...

...DAISY KICKS OUT! Both get to their feet and Daisy tries for a right, and Green ducks it, grabs Daisy from behind, and nails her with a Back Suplex Backbreaker! Green goes over to a nearby corner, climbs it with her back turned...

...AND HITS DAISY WITH A MOONSAULT!

"Man, Green is flying all over the place! Now a Moonsault! Picture-perfect across the stomach!" Church stated.

"No, this can't be! Daisy, kick out! Kick out!" Sarge begged.

Green hooks the leg!

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

DAISY KICKS OUT!

"Oh thank God..." Sarge sighed in relief. "Too close for comfort."

Green picked up Daisy, and hooked her in a Rear Chancery. She tried for her finisher, but Daisy spun out of it and ducked a clothesline. She grabbed Green's head and nailed a Hangman's Neckbreaker! Daisy picks up Green, drags her to a corner, and nails a Reverse STO against the second turnbuckle! Green laid against the corner in pain, but was grabbed by Daisy from behind, and nailed with a Half-Nelson Suplex! Green managed to get to her knees as Daisy bounced off the ropes...

...AND DAISY CONNECTS WITH A SHINING WIZARD!

"SHINING WIZARD! Knee across the skull! Green just got knocked out!" Church exclaimed.

"And ladies and gentleman, Green my Poke-girl..." Sarge began.

Daisy covers Green!

...

...

GREEN KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...KICKED OUT?! Well shit..." Sarge groaned.

"Man, Green just won't quit! She wants her return match to be a successful one!" Church said.

Daisy looked stunned at the kick out before picking her up and grabs the arm of Green, and places her leg over her head. She tries for a Daisy Flower, but Green got out of it, and pushes Daisy away. Daisy ran at Green...AND INTO A DROPKICK! Both women are laid out as the ref began to count. They stirred at the count of 4, and got up at the count of 8. Daisy threw a right, but Green caught it and began laying in fists on Daisy, backing her into the ropes. She whipped Daisy, but Daisy reversed and whipped Green into the ropes. Green bounced off them, and ducked a clothesline, bouncing off the ropes once and nailing a Running Knee Smash on Daisy! Daisy rolled over to the corner and stood up against it, and Green ran and nailed a Spinning Heel Kick against the corner! Daisy stumbled out of the corner and Green climbed up it, waiting as Daisy got up...

...AND HIT A DIVING THROWBACK!

"Throwback by Green with a little high-flying mixed with it! The cover by Green!" Church said.

Green hooks the leg!

2...

...

...

DAISY KICKS OUT!

"Oh man, I am getting so nervous right now! Peach just can't go in without her BFF! SHE JUST CAN'T!" Sarge exclaimed.

Green picks up Daisy and locks her in a Rear Chancery, and tries for her finisher once more. But Daisy suddenly spins around in her grips...AND HITS HER WITH A FREE FALL! Green holds her stomach as she gets up AND GETS A BOOT TO THE HEAD! Daisy picks her up, and sets up for the Daisy Flower. She went for it, but Green threw the leg off her just in time. Daisy tried for a clothesline, but Green ducked...locker her head in a Rear Chancery...grabbed the arm...

...AND HITS THE GREEN MISCHIEF (Rear Chancery Spun Into Sit-Out Facebuster)!

"GREEN MISCHIEF CONNECT! Green just plants Daisy hard!" Church said.

"OH NO! NOT THE GREEN MISCHIEF!" Sarge exclaimed.

Green hooks the leg!

1...

3!

"And Green's going to Last Stand!" Church exclaimed.

("Secret Weapon" by MxPx)

"Here is your winner, Green!"

The crowd stands on its feet in cheer as Green gets up and celebrates her victory. The ref raised Green's hand in victory as the crowd chanted "You Still Got It!" to her. Green got to the turnbuckle and climbed it, raising her hand and bobbing her head to the beat of her theme music.

"Green makes a successful return to UCA tonight, and thanks to her win, she's going to Last Stand for a chance at a record-tying SEVENTH Women's Title!" Church stated.

"Dammit...dammit...first Luigi failed to get into the Elimination Chamber, now Daisy failed to get into the Six-Pack Challenge...dammit, why must this happen?!" Sarge asked.

"Because it did. Green won, and that's that. That makes five of the six spots filled, and next week will have the final spot filled. Things won't be easy for Lightning." Church said.

Green got off the turnbuckle, and turned around...AND WALKED INTO A BELT SHOT FROM LIGHTNING!

"WHAT THE HELL?! LIGHTNING JUST DECKED GREEN OUT OF NOWHERE!" Church shouted.

"YES! THAT'S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!" Sarge cheered.

Green was laid out as Lightning grabbed a mic from ringside and stood over Green with title belt in hand, a stoic expression on her face.

"I keep one damn dirty vet from getting in the Six-Pack Challenge...and two more take her place. First, it's Peach, who I already beat at Royal Reckoning and shouldn't get another shot, and then you, little Green, a woman who has no more business being in the damn title picture. So much is wrong here people, so much is wrong. Green is past her prime...she's a waste and should have never come back! But she did because she couldn't let go! Well, she paid the price moments ago for coming back needlessly...and she'll pay the price once again at Last Stand, just like four other women who stand in my way at that event. People say the odds are against me, that I have no chance in hell, but that's what they said about Royal Reckoning...and I won. Whether it be defiant rookies like Kiva, washed-up vets like Green and Peach, and irrelevant girls like Mandy, I will beat them all. I am a General of the Rookie Revolution, and as such, I will win once more, head into Final Clash as Women's Champion, and spread our cause even more. You can hate it if you want...but I don't give a damn."

Lightning dropped the mic and raised her Women's Title high into the air with one hand, while raising her Rookie Revolution wristband with the other, the crowd booing her the whole time as she stood over the fallen Green.

"Damn...Lightning has made it clear...she has no intention of losing at Final Clash no matter the odds. And in her mind, it will all be for the RR." Church said.

"And I believe Lightning can pull it off! True, I love Peach and Mandy, but Lightning's come too far to lose now! She will win! She survived Royal Reckoning, she can survive Last Stand!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Well at Last Stand, five other women will look to make that statement of Lightning's false because they want the gold just as much. It promises to be a crazy night in 13 days." Church stated.

UCA Rewind: Final Clash 2004

Women Go Straight To Hell

"Final Clash 2004 up to that point was the biggest Final Clash history in history." Tifa stated. "Filled with a great undercard, the event had Red taking on Ash Ketchum for the first-time ever in a media-hyped match in No Holds Barred, and Invader Zim taking on Jecht for the UCA World Title in the classic but successful David vs Goliath story. Force wanted something big to round up those big-time matches, and he wanted it to involve the women. He wanted women to have a big part in Final Clash. And boy...did he make a match that put even MORE spotlight on the event..."

"It's history in the making people! For the first time in freakin' history, the Elimination Chamber shall have women stepping into it for the Women's Title! Six women shall enter the depths of hell and put their careers and livelihood at stake all for the damn title!" Church said.

The Elimination Chamber was shown above the ring during these words spoken before clips of the competitors were shown: Amy Rose grasped the chain wall, looking nervous yet determined; Lara Croft stood on a turnbuckle in the chamber with a smirk on her face; Sailor Mars entered the chamber wearing her Eternal Sailor outfit, showing no fear whatsoever; Gaz stood in the ring, stoic and dark, as the lights were dimmed and she emitted a dark aura; Tifa Lockhart looked at the chamber from the outside and took a deep breath, knowing what was coming; Mai Valentine entered the ring and showed off the Women's Title around her waist, a sneer on her face.

"Oh man...I remember that night vividly..." Amy recalled. "Me, Lara, Mars, Gaz, Tifa, and the champ at the time, Mai...we all were chosen to enter that structure for the Women's Title. We were the first women to enter what was called "The Devil's Playground," and we broke boundaries with what we did. But that match...oh my God, that much...it was pure damn hell. No other way to describe it...what happened was nothing short of brutal..."

Tifa nailed a few rights on Mars as she leaned against the ropes on the steel grating. Tifa took hold of Mars and threw her against the chain wall hard. Mars fell onto the steel grating, bleeding badly from her forehead, and Tifa picked up Mars and placed her between her legs. She lifted her up...

...BUT MARS SUDDENLY BACK BODY DROPPED TIFA ON THE STEEL! Tifa cried out in pain arching her back in immense pain as Mars fell to her knees, panting before standing up. She stalked Tifa as she willed herself to her feet, and when she turned around, Mars went for the Mars Fire Ignite...

...AND TIFA CAUGHT HER WITH THE POWERSOUL ON THE STEEL GRATING! Mars writhed like crazy on the steel as pain coursed through her body, and Tifa stood up...AND MAI GRABBED TIFA FROM BEHIND! She pulled Tifa near the plexiglass pod...AND HIT A SLEEPER SUPLEX ON THE PLEXIGLASS, AND IT DID NOT BUDGE!

...

Lara whipped Amy into the corner and ran after her, but the hedgehog caught her with a foot to the jaw. Amy then leaped onto the second turnbuckle and took Lara down with a Moonsault. Amy got up and leaned against the ropes as Lara got back up and ran after her, and Amy sidestepped her and threw her over the ropes onto the steel grating. Lara writhed in pain, but her eyes caught something and she grabbed it unknown to Amy. Amy reached over the ropes and picked Lara up...

...AND LARA NAILED AMY WITH A PIECE OF PLEXIGLASS! Amy fell down to the mat and Lara quickly climbed up the turnbuckle near Amy with the plexiglass. With a smirk on her face...

...LARA HIT AN ARABIAN FACEBUSTER WITH THE PLEXIGLASS!

...

Mai grabbed Amy and threw her into the ring, and then tried to climb the turnbuckle from the steel grating. Amy quickly got back up and caught Mai with a hard right hand, stopping her. She then got onto the steel grating opposite of Mai, and climbed up the turnbuckle. She nailed a few rights on Mai, before grabbing her for a Superplex on the steel...

...but Gaz got under Amy and grabbed her in a Powerbomb position...

...AND A TOWER OF DOOM RESULTS ON THE STEEL! AMY AND MAI ARE WRITHING ON THE DAMN GRATING!

"This is hell! This pure goddamn hell! How else can you describe this shit?! These women are killing each other all for the damn Women's Title!" Church exclaimed.

"They are all certifiably crazy-ass bitches! Why else would they do all this to each other?! I don't even think the Women's Title is worth this!" Sarge proclaimed.

"That Elimination Chamber Match...it left a mark on my body like no other...it left a mark on ALL of our bodies...we were willing to do any and everything to walk out Women's Champion and the first Women's Elimination Chamber winner." Tifa stated, a reminiscing look on her face. "But...like all other Chambers before and after...the field was wittled down, one by one."

Amy clotheslined Gaz over the ropes and onto the steel grating. Amy wiped the sweat from her brow and grasped the ropes, waiting as Gaz got to her feet. Amy Springboarded off the ropes to Gaz...

...AND GAZ CAUGHT HER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! Amy flailed around helplessly before Gaz Powerbombed her into the chain wall! However, she held on...AND POWERBOMBED HER THROUGH A PLEXIGLASS POD! But she STILL held on, turned around, and ran full speed...POWERBOMBING HER THROUGH ANOTHER POD! And she STILL held on, walking out of the grating with a near-lifeless Amy on her shoulders...

...AND NAILED HER WITH THE NIGHTMARE WORLD (Powerbomb Lungblower)! Gaz picked up Amy and threw her into the ring, entering as well and pinning Amy!

1...2...3!

Gaz slammed Lara's head viciously on the turnbuckle several times before pulling her in for a Short-Arm Clothesline that turned her inside out! She grabbed Lara and climbed up the turnbuckle with her and then got on the top of pod! She then grabbed Lara by the hair and lifted her up onto the pod with great strength. She nailed Lara in the back with a few clubbing blows before placing Lara between her legs, and tried to lift her up...

..AND LARA BACK BODY DROPS GAZ OFF THE TOP OF THE POD AND TO THE MAT BELOW! Gaz was down on the mat absolutely motionless while Lara knelt down on top of the pod. She looked down at Gaz and suddenly the crowd began to cheer Lara, despite her status as a heel, wanting something from her! Lara looked out to the crowd, and then back down to Gaz. Suddenly, an idea came to her head, and despite her better judgment, she stood tall on the pod with a bloody face, letting the adrenaline and cheers fuel her...

...AND HIT HER UWE FINISHER, THE TOMB RAIDER (Swanton Bomb), FROM THE TOP OF THE POD! The crowd is going insane as Lara lays on Gaz for the pin!

1...2...3!

...

Tifa and Mars traded blows inside the ring, both bloody as hell, before Tifa caught her with a Jumping Calf Kick! Tifa picked up Mars and whipped her into the ropes and and tried to catch her on the rebound with a Premium Heart, but Mars ducked it bounced off the ropes, and nailed a Flying Forearm! Mars kipped up back to her feet to the delight of the MSG fans! She saw Tifa getting back to her feet, and stalked her once more. Tifa got to her feet near the ropes, and Mars went for the Mars Fire Ignite!

...Tifa sidestepped it and Mars got crotched on the top rope! TIFA HITS THE PREMIUM HEART ON HER, SENDING MARS OFF THE ROPE AND ONTO THE GRATING! Tifa sees Mai getting up on the steel grating on another side of the Chamber AND HITS HER WITH THE PREMIUM HEART TOO! Tifa finally sees Lara rolling into the ring and getting up, and runs at her and goes for the Premium Heart...

...and Lara ducks it! She then lifts the stunned Tifa onto her shoulders from behind, quickly grabs the head from her position...AND HITS THE CROFT DRIVER (Electric Chair Driver)! She keeps it in a pin!

1...2...3!

...

Mai quickly hooks the arms of Lara on the outside as Mars recovers in the ring, and tries for her finisher, but Lara breaks free, pulls her legs out from under her, and launches her face-first into the chain wall! Mai stumbled on her feet, and gets Back Body Dropped back into the ring by Lara! Lara enters the ring after Mai, and waits as she gets up, and lifts her up from behind for the Croft Driver...

...but Mai manages to get out and land behind Lara, and pushes her forward...

...AND INTO A MARS FIRE IGNITE (Superkick/Sweet Chin Music) FROM MARS! The crowd goes crazy as Lara is practically out of it before being turned around by Mai, who hooks the arms...

...AND HITS THE HARPIE FEATHER DUSTER (Swinging Double Underhook Facebuster)! Mai hooks the leg!

1...2...3!

"It all came down to Mars and Mai...and it was kind of fitting." Amy said. "Because those two had had a very vicious, hardcore rivalry going on for months, dating back to the year before, 2003. They were brutal before the chamber...and they were brutal in the chamber..."

Mai kicks Mars in the guts and hooks the arms for a Harpie Feather Duster, but Mars Back Body Dropped Mai onto the steel grating! Mars stumbled on her feet, the blood loss affecting her slightly, before turning to Mars, and slightly stomping her foot, and when Mai got up, Mars went for it...

...AND MAI DUCKED THE MARS FIRE IGNITE! Mars nailed the plexiglass instead and her leg spasm from the impact. Mai took the opportunity to place Mars between her legs, lift her up...

...AND PILEDRIVER MARS ON THE STEEL! The crowd gasps in horror as Mars stands upside down from the impact before falling onto the steel.

...

Mai, frustrated and angry, tries to lift Mars up for a Superplex, but Mars remained rooted to the turnbuckle. Mars then nailed a few punches to the gut of Mai, forcing her to let go, and then pushed Mai off the turnbuckle and to the mat below. Mars took a breather on the turnbuckle before looking down at Mai, and then up to the pod behind her...and climbs up to the top of the pod to the roar of the crowd! Mars steadies herself with her back turned to the ring, and after checking to see if Mai was still down...

...MARS HIT A MOONSAULT FROM THE TOP OF THE POD ONTO MAI! Mars holds her gut in pain as Mars is practically going crazy with agony in the ring.

...

Mai tries to go for a Winged Assault (Diving Spinning Wheel Kick), but Mars moves out of the way! Mai gets up in pain...AND MARS HITS HER WITH THE BURNING BARRAGE (CM Punk's Muay Thai Combo)! Mai falls to the mat but Mars doesn't go for the pin, but instead stumbles back into a corner. She forms a gun gesture with her fingers, and begins to stomp her foot rhythmically. Mai manages to get to her feet as Mars stomps faster. She turns around...

...AND CATCHES THE FOOT OF MARS! Mars is in shock before she is spun around, and kicked in the gut. Mars hooks the arms...

...AND HITS THE HARPIE FEATHER DUSTER! Mars hooks the leg!

1...2...MARS KICKS OUT!

"SON OF A BITCH! MARS KICKED OUT! MARS KICKED OUT OF THE HARPIE FEATHER DUSTER!" Church exclaimed.

"THAT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO KEEP MARS DOWN?!" Sarge questioned.

"Mars and Mai...their battle inside the Chamber was one for the ages for sure. It helped pushed the Chamber match to the next level..." Tifa stated. "Hatred...passion...desire...all of that and more came from the match...and only one stood tall."

Mai entered the ring with a piece of plexiglass, her face snarling with blood dripping down it, and slammed it across Mars' skull hard. Mai picked up Mar and again slammed the plexiglass across Mars' skull before setting her up, and nailing a Spike Piledriver! Mai however, then didn't go for a pin. Instead, a devious smirk appeared on her face as she stood up and got into a corner...and began stomping her foot to the disdain of the crowd. Mars slowly rises to her feet, bloody, dazed, and perhaps not aware of her surroundings. Mai grinned evilly as Mars turns around...

...she runs forward...

...AND MARS DUCKS IT! Mai stumbles forward as Mars bounces off the ropes...AND NAILS A BICYCLE KICK ON MAI! Mai spins around before falling to the mat as Mars leans on the ropes for support. Mai stumbles to her feet completely dazed, and Mars catches her out of the corner of her eye...

...AND HITS THE MARS FIRE IGNITE TO THUNDEROUS CHEERS! Mars falls on top of Mai for the cover!

"MARS FIRE IGNITE! MARS FIRE IGNITE! MARS CAUGHT MAI! THE COVER!" Church shouted.

1...2...3!

"MAI JUST GOT SARGE'D! WE GOT A NEW WOMEN'S CHAMPION!" Sarge shouted.

"Here is your winner of the Women's Elimination Chamber, and NEEEEEEEEWWWWWW UCA Women's Champion...SAILOR MAAAARRRSSS!"

The crowd was going bananas as Mars rolled off of Mai and looked up to the ceiling, realization and reality setting in. She placed her hands over her mouths, tears mixing with the blood on her face as joy washed over her. She slowly rose to her knees and the ref handed her the Women's Title, placing it over her shoulder. She hugged the title tightly to her chest before placing it against her head in overwhelming joy.

"MARS HAS DONE IT! MARS HAS DONE IT! THE JOURNEY IS FINALLY OVER! AFTER SIX YEARS, MARS CAN ONCE AGAIN CALL HERSELF THE UCA WOMEN'S CHAMPION!" Church shouted.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! MAI WAS SUPPOSED TO RETAIN! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HER NIGHT! BUT THAT MARS WOULDN'T QUIT! SHE WOULDN'T QUIT! AND NOW SHE'S CHAMPION! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!" Sarge exclaimed.

"It was one of the most emotional, feel-good, and amazing moments in Final Clash history..." Tifa stated. "Mars became champion for the first time in six years, and the performance she put in to achieve it was incredible. After years of classic matches, putting other stars over, and just giving so much for the company, the fans were ready to accept her as champion one last time...and they did it with such open arms."

"That Elimination Chamber Match was a truly brutal, sadistic, yet amazing affair that broke new ground for women." Amy stated. "It was a precursor to the Clash of the Titans and their Women's Chamber...it helped lead to the Queen's Elimination Chambers in UWE...it showed that women could enter such barbaric structures and survive and thrive in them...it's remember as a Final Clash classic, and it's a match I, nor any of the others that were in it, will ever forget."

The final clip shown is an iconic shot of Mars actually standing on the top of the chamber, bloody face and all, raising her title happily with one hand as fireworks go off above her.

A/N: YES! FINISHED THIS FASTER THAN THE LAST CHAPTER! I am so happy right now! I hope this chapter was good! I would really hate for it to have disappointed. In any case, three qualifying matches for Last Stand happened, and we the playing field for the two title matches at Last Stand are almost set. I feel good about myself. If I work hard enough, I may have Last Stand up before the year is done. Hopefully that will happen.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and if you ever have any ideas concerning UCA, send them to me via PM and I will CONSIDER them. Please leave a review as they are much appreciated people. So until next time.
