Last man standing

("Last Man Standing" by Pop Evil)
Fireworks exploded from the stage in grey and white colors, going up and down the ramp and then left and right on the stage. The fireworks then shot out of the setup for the stage and Titantron in a crazed flurry before going off one last burst from the stage before ending. The lights came on, and the crowd roared with loud cheers as the camera panned throughout the audience. Signs were held up such as "Crash for World Champ!", "We Don't Need Saving, Ben!", "I Want A Nut Punch!", and "Lightning Strikes Twice!" The camera then went to ringside where we see Church and Sarge.
"Everybody, we welcome you to the last stop, the last PPV before Final Clash! We welcome everybody to Last Stand!" Church announced. "We are live from Hyrule in Hyrule Castle! I am Leonard L. Church, and beside me, is of course the always nonsensical Sarge!"
"Hey, I'm not nonsensical! I'm enlightened in the ways of the Reds!" Sarge replied. "But in any case, our night is going to be awesome! We got a very anticipated card, main evented by two six-way matches that are complete bull to me!"
"First, there's the Six-Pack Challenge for the Women's Title! Lightning defends against the top five women today in UCA! Can she do the unthinkable? Or will everything fall hard for her and the RR? Expect this to degenerate into an all-out catfight"! Church stated.
"And then, the Elimination Chamber! Mario must find a way to survive the Devil's Playground with five hungry challengers on his tail! I know the great Red can do it! I know he can make history! But how is the question? This cant' be Mario's last stand!" Sarge stated.
"Only time will tell Sarge, Mario already has so much against him. Is this the end for him? That's for later tonight. For now, it's time to get this show kicked off with our opening contest."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following is your opening contest of the evening...and it is an Elimination Chamber Qualifying No Disqualification Match!"
(No explanation will matter after we begin
Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within
My true vocation, and now my unfortunate friend
You will discover a war you're unable to win
I'll have you know...
That I've become...
INDESTRUCTIBLE!)
("Indestructible" by Disturbed)
The crowd booed intensely as Bowser came out onto the stage with a giant snarl on his face. He looked out to the crowd before giving out a roar of intensity before throwing his fist down, triggering hellfire pyro. Bowser stomped his way down the ramp and got on the apron. He stepped over the ropes and looked out to the crowd before pointing to the Final Clash sign and roaring.
"Introducing first, from the Mushroom Kingdom, weighing in at 401 lbs., "The King of the Koopas" Bowser!"
"Six days ago, Bowser and Sonic were supposed to have decided who got the final chamber spot for tonight, but the Mushroom Kingdom had it go to a no contest." Church said. "As such, Force made the match happen tonight, and to ensure a winner, it's No DQ!"
"No DQ just gives Bowser the option to do whatever the hell he wants to do to Sonic!" Sarge stated. "That dirty Blue decided to screw Bowser out of the World Title...tonight is the night, Sonic pays for it!"
"Bowser is hungry...Bowser has been dominant...Bowser is on a rampage...and he'll do anything to get the World Title tonight! This won't be pretty!" Church said.
(All I ever wanted was destiny to be fulfilled
It is in my hands
I must not fail!
I must not fail!
We've been through the darkest days
This fire burns...always!
This fire burns...always!)
("This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage)
The crowd exploded into thunderous cheers as the lights turned a dark blue, and moments later, Sonic the Hedgehog came out wearing a very dark blue sleeveless jacket with the hood over his head. He took a knee on the stage, stared down for a second before looking at his wrist as if telling time, then shouted "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!" before throwing his hood off and throwing his fist forward. Sonic stormed down the ramp with a dark intensity in his eyes before sliding into the ring, glaring at Bowser before raising his fists high.
"And his opponent, from Station Square, weighing at 210 lbs., "The Blue Blur" Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"Last month, Sonic was screwed out of the World Title by Mario and Bowser in a conspiracy! Sonic has gone to a dark place as a result, and he's made a mission to get retribution. Bowser's his first target; Mario's next after that." Church stated.
"Oh please, like Sonic actually has a chance here! Bowser's going to take this rodent and snap him in two! And maybe then he'll learn why Blues just can't beat Reds!" Sarge exclaimed.
"No Disqualification is in effect to ensure a winner here, and you can bet these two men will take full advantage of that! This won't be pretty!" Church stated.
Sonic took off his jacket and threw it out of the ring before glaring at Bowser across the ring, who glared right back at him. The ref checked on both of them before ringing the bell. The two ran at each other, and Sonic wasted no time jumping on Bowser and raining down vicious punches on him. Bowser took a few of them before pushing Sonic off. Sonic rolled onto his feet and jumped right back onto Bowser, continuing to punch the daylights out of Bowser. The Koopa King again pushed Sonic away, and the hedgehog backed up a bit before running and jumping at Bowser. Bowser caught him though, and rammed him into the corner before hitting hard Shoulder Rams into the gut of the hedgehog. After six Shoulder Rams, Bowser backed up, and ran at Sonic, but the hedgehog lifted a knee to catch Bowser in the jaw. With the monster staggered, Sonic leaped onto the second turnbuckle and nailed a Diving Knee Smash! Bowser was dazed, but still standing and Sonic ran the ropes and nailed a Springboard Enziguri, and that caused Bowser to fall to his knees. Sonic then slid out of the ring and grabbed a chair from ringside.
"Oh boy, Sonic's wasting no time taking advantage of the No DQ stip! He wants to hurt Bowser bad!" Church said.
"Hey, a dirty Blue can't use weapons first! Ref, stop him! This is illegal!" Sarge shouted.
Sonic slid into the ring and prepared to swing the chair at Bowser, but the monster PUNCHED the chair out of Sonic's hands! Sonic was stunned before getting his head booted off by Bowser! Bowser growled down at Sonic before picking him up and Hammer Throwing him into the corner! Bowser then nailed a Corner Clothesline, and followed it up with a Sidewalk Slam as Sonic walked out of the corner. Bowser hooked the leg. 1...2...Sonic kicked out. Bowser frowned before picking up Sonic, but the hedgehog suddenly began nailing Shoot Kicks to the thighs. Bowser however took Sonic down with a vicious clothesline. Bowser then saw the chair he punched away and picked it up snarling as he waited for Sonic to get back up to his feet. When he did, he swung the chair, but Sonic ducked it! Bowser turned around, and Sonic Dropkicked the chair straight into his face! Bowser was staggered as Sonic ran the ropes and nailed a Drive-By Kick that sent Bowser through the ropes, landing on his feet on the outside!
"Bowser got the chair to his damn face, and is now on the outside!" Church said.
"And that damn hedgehog has something on his mind! It can't be good! Ref, make sure he doesn't do what's on his mind!" Sarge stated.
Bowser rubbed his face as he tried to recompose himself, but Sonic wasted no time as he ran and bounced off the ropes, leaped through the ropes...
...and Bowser caught him in his arms as he went for the Suicide Dive! Bowser snarled before lifting up Sonic, and slamming him down onto the announce table HARD with a Body Slam! Sonic lied on the table in pain, but Bowser grabbed the chair in the ring, readied it and SLAMMED IT ACROSS SONIC'S BODY! Sonic cried out in pain, but Bowser just snarled as he went to town on Sonic's body with the chair!
"Oh damn! Bowser is just slamming that steel right across Sonic's body! He just doesn't want to win, he wants to HURT Sonic!" Church stated.
"Of course he does! His dream was robbed of him by that damn hedgehog! Only fitting that Sonic recieves his penance!" Sarge said.
After nine chair shots across the body, Bowser threw the chair back into the ring before grabbing Sonic, holding him in Oklahoma position in his arms, and nailing a Fallaway Slam on the padded concrete! Sonic arched his back in pain as Bowser stood up and began tearing apart the steel steps and held up on set in his hands. He growled as he waited for Sonic to get up before lifting them high, and rushing at Sonic...
...but Sonic suddenly Drop Toe Holds Bowser, and Bowser falls down face-first on the steps he was holding! Bowser held his face in pain as he slowly tried to get up...
...BUT SONIC NAILS A HOMING ATTACK RIGHT ON THE STEEL STEPS!
"Holy sh*t! Sonic just nailed a freakin' Homing Attack on the steel steps! This has degenerated into a war so quickly!" Church said.
"But dammit, Sonic's in control! Steel steps, how dare you betray the one who used you first! Ungrateful b*stards!" Sarge stated.
"Sarge, you are talking to inanimate ob-Oh forget it." Church sighed.
Bowser was laid out across the steps and Sonic took a moment to regain himself before standing up and waiting for the monster to stand back up. Bowser slowly came to and managed to push himself up, where he was greeted with a Roundhouse Kick to the skull from Sonic that sent him sliding back into the ring. Sonic slid back in and covered Bowser!
"Sonic covering Bowser!" Church stated.

Bowser kicks out!
"Please, Bowser can easily handle anything of that nature!" Sarge stated.
Sonic was not fazed by the kick out and began stomping the hell out of Bowser, wanting to make him pay for everything. His eyes caught the chair in the ring and he picked it up before measuring Bowser as he got to his knees...
...AND SLAMMED THE STEEL CHAIR ACROSS HIS SKULL! The crowd went "Oooohhh" at the impact as Bowser was dazed on his feet, and Sonic slammed the chair across the skull again! He lifted the chair up, and slammed it AGAIN! He then repeated the action a FOURTH TIME! Sonic backed up, and raised up his hand to signal for the fifth shot, then ran and swung the chair down...
...AND BOWSER CAUGHT IT! Sonic was stunned as Bowser slowly stood up still grasping the chair, snarling at the hedgehog. Bowser then suddenly kicked Sonic's gut, forcing him to let go...
...AND BOWSER CRACKED THE CHAIR ON SONIC'S SKULL!
"OH MY GOD! Did you HEAR that?! That sounded like a damn gut shot! Bowser nearly took Sonic's head after getting his own head destroyed!" Church said.
"And that chair is completely dented after that last shot! I don't think it can be used anymore!" Sarge said.
Indeed, the chair was now completely bent and dented, and Bowser shook his head to relieve the cobwebs from the earlier chair shots. He then threw the chair away before picking up Sonic and whipping him into the corner. With a snarl, Bowser ran and nailed a Stinger Splash with all 400 lbs. of him! Sonic stumbled out of it before picked up, and given Snake Eyes in the corner! Sonic was dazed as Bowser bounced off the ropes and Big Booted Sonic's head off! Bowser then bounced off the ropes and hit a Leg Drop! Bowser with the cover!

Sonic kicks out!
"Bowser with some brutal offense on the hedgehog, yet Sonic shows his resilience." Church stated
"Well, if he knows what is good for him, he will stay down! Bowser ain't close to being done with him!" Sarge said.
Bowser rolled out of the ring and plundered through the under of it. Bowser then pulled out a kendo stick much to the joy of the bloodthirsty fans in attendance. Bowser slid back in and waited as Sonic got back up, and slammed it across Sonic's gut emphatically! Sonic fell to his knees holding his gut in pain, and Bowser then swung it across his back! Sonic fell to the mat arching his back in pain, and Bowser proceeded to slam the kendo stick across Sonic's back repeatedly! Welts formed on Sonic's back as Bowser dealt eight kendo stick shots before picking up Sonic...
...and dropped him with a Standing Side Slam!
"Standing Side Slam by Bowser! The monster is just brutalizing Sonic right now!" Church said.
"Of course he is! He's the Koopa King! No way in hell can Sonic stop him when he's on a roll!" Sarge said.
Bowser dropped down to the ground and rolled out of the ring, and grabbed the steel steps. He picked them up and slid them into the ring before coming back in himself. He grabbed the kendo stick and slammed it on Sonic to keep him down before setting up the steel steps against the corner. He then picked up Sonic and Hammer Threw him against the steps! Sonic slumped against the steps in pain, and Bowser backed up, snarled, and ran full steam...
...AND SONIC SUDDENLY SHOT AND DROPKICKED BOWSER IN THE KNEE! Bowser fell face-first into the steel steps and stood up in a daze. Sonic quickly grabbed the kendo stick and whacked it across Bowser's face! Sonic then unloaded on Bowser with the kendo sticks before placing it across his throat...
...AND NAILED A WHITE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!
"And there goes those shades of the damn Sandman! Sonic's back in this!" Church said.
"Not for long! Bowser do something! Do something dammit!" Sarge stated.
Sonic hooked the leg!

Bowser kicks out!
Sonic stood back up and grabbed the steel steps in the corner and lifted them up. Holding them, he gritted his teeth and waited as Bowser slowly got back up...
...AND SLAMMED THE STEEL STEPS INTO BOWSER'S FACE! Bowser was down once more, and Sonic lifted the steps high with all his strength and threw them down on Bowser! The Koopa King roared in pain as the steps were on top of him, and Sonic got on the apron, leaped onto the ropes...
...AND NAILED A STEEL STEPS-AIDED SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH!
"HOLY SH*T! A freakin's Springboard 450 on the steel steps sandwiched Koopa King! Sonic risked it all to damage Bowser!" Church said.
"But he also hurt himself in the process! Who the hell would do something like that?! Oh right: an idiotic Blue!" Sarge proclaimed.
Sonic held his stomach in pain before slowly ambling to his feet while Bowser pushed the steps off of him and groaned in great pain. Sonic grabbed the steel steps and adjusted them before waiting for Bowser to get up, then jumped up, grabbed the head...
...AND NAILED A JUMPING DDT ON THE STEPS!
"DDT! DDT! Sonic just drove Bowser skull-first into the steps! Sonic just drilled the Koopa King!" Church said.
"Oh damn that rodent for doing things like this! I hope he goes into a pit and stays there!" Sarge claimed.
Bowser rolled off the steps and Sonic covers him!

Bowser kicks out!
"The monster on a rampage proves how tough he is by kicking out!" Church said.
Sonic shook his head before getting on the apron and climbing the corner. He took a step on top, sized up Bowser, before diving off for a Frog Splash...
...and Bowser caught him by the throat before it connected! Bowser slowly stood up with his hand still around Sonic's throat. Bowser growled before lifting him up...
...but Sonic landed behind Bowser before he could hit the Chokeslam! Bowser turned around and got an Enziguri to the skull! With Bowser dazed, Sonic bounced off the ropes and back to Bowser...
...AND BOWSER THREW SONIC UP AND DOWN WITH A FREE FALL! Sonic crashed onto the mat hard! He stumbled up to his feet where Bowser picked him up in a Military Press...
...AND THREW HIM OVER TO THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR BELOW!
"HOLY-Sonic just got thrown over the ropes and landed with a splat!" Church said.
"Hah, that's just the way I like it! Blue roadkill all over the ringside area! Brings a smile to a Red!" Sarge stated.
Bowser stepped over the ropes and exited the ring, glaring down at the downed Sonic before picking him up and dragging him around the ringside area. When done, he Hammer Threw him into barricade! Sonic groaned in pain, but Bowser then Hammer Threw Sonic back-first into the steel post! He then Hammer Threw Sonic into the barricade again, then did it again into the steel post! Then he grabbed Sonic and nailed a One-Handed Spinebuster! Sonic was down once more as Bowser picked him up and threw him back into the ring. Bowser slid back into the ring and stalked as Sonic as he slowly pushed himself up to his feet. The hedgehog turned around...
...AND GOT SPEARED INTO TWO BY BOWSER!
"SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR BY BOWSER! Bowser damn near broke Sonic in half!" Church said.
"And with that, Sonic..." Sarge began.
Bowser hooked the leg!

SONIC KICKS OUT!
"You Just Got...HEY WHAT?! Excuse me, why did you make a slow count ref?!" Sarge asked.
"That wasn't slow, Sonic just managed to kick out in time, idiot!" Church replied.
Bowser growled in frustration before standing up and backing up once more, stalking the hedgehog as he tried to regain bearings. Slowly, Sonic pushed himself off the mat with his hands and made it to his feet. He turned around...
...Bowser charged at Sonic...
...but Sonic suddenly Drop Toe Holds the monster! He grabs the leg...AND LOCKS IN THE SPEED TRAP!
"SPEED TRAP! BOWSER GOT CAUGHT IN THE SPEED TRAP! BOWSER GOT CAUGHT!" Church said.
"NO! THIS IS A TRAVESTY! YOU CAN'T TAP, BOWSER! PLEASE DON'T!" Sarge begged.
Bowser's eyes went wide in pain as Sonic tightened the hold as much as he could, crying for a tap out! The crowd chanted "TAP! TAP! TAP!" as Bowser gritted his teeth in pain, and after twenty seconds, Bowser's hand was slowly raised and it shook...
...he teased a tap out...
...it still shook...
...but Bowser shook his head in refusal! Sonic only tightened the hold, but Bowser suddenly placed his hands on the mat, and with God Almighty strength, slowly began to push himself off it! Slowly, but surely, he pushed himself upward, until he actually managed to stand up on one leg, with Sonic still applying the Speed Trap! Sonic's eyes widened...
...BEFORE BOWSER FELL BACKWARDS, SQUASHING SONIC ON THE MAT!
"Bowser just used his own damn strength to actually stand up, and then sandwiched Sonic on the mat with his body!" Church said.
"He did what he had to do to get out of the hold, dirtbag! It's called being smart! Something you would know nothing about!" Sarge replied.
Bowser rolled off of Sonic and both men were laid out for a few moments until they slowly began to get to their feet. Eventually, both men stood up and Bowser charged at Sonic, but Sonic sidestepped, and Bowser crashed into the turnbuckle. Bowser turned around...AND GOT HIT WITH THE DASH ATTACK! Bowser stumbled out of the corner, and the hedgehog leaped onto his shoulder and Hurricarana'd him into the middle ropes! With Bowser draped over them, Sonic bounced off the ropes, swung through the ropes...
...AND BOWSER DUCKS THE 619! Sonic spun around and landed on his feet, and gets turned inside out with a clothesline from the monster! Bowser stood up with a scowl on his face before picking up Sonic, grabbing him by his throat, and lifting him up...
...SONIC GRABBED THE HEAD MID-LIFT AND HIT A DDT!
"DDT off the chokeslam! Shades of this past Monday!" Church said.
"Oh come on, you can't rehash old moves like that! That just makes you stupid, dirtbag!" Sarge stated.
Bowser was laid out as Sonic rolled out of the ring, searched under the ring, and pulled out another steel chair. The crowd cheered as Sonic slid back in, glared hatefully at the now recovering Bowser, shouting "THIS IS MY RETRIBUTION AGAINST YOU!" before running at Bowser with chair in hand...
...AND BOWSER PUNCHED THE CHAIR INTO SONIC'S FACE! Sonic dropped the chair as he was staggered, and Bowser lifted him up upside down on his side on his shoulder...
...AND NAILED A RUNNING POWERSLAM ON THE STEEL CHAIR!
"The chair came back to haunt Sonic! A damn Running Powerslam on the steel chair!" Church said.
"Hah, and now Sonic..." Sarge began.

SONIC KICKS OUT AT 2.99!
"You Just Got...HEY, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?! WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST REDS?!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Sonic will not die! Sonic will not fall! He wants that final Chamber spot BAD! He wants retribution BAD!" Church stated.
Bowser was completley incensed as he grabbed Sonic by his quills and placed him between his legs. Bowser made a cutthroat gesture, signaling for the end, but did not notice Sonic grabbing the kendo stick nearby. He grabbed Sonic by the waist, lifted Sonic up by the shoulders...
...
...AND SONIC NAILED BOWSER DEAD IN THE FACE WITH THE KENDO STICK! Bowser let go of Sonic, now dazed, and Sonic landed on his feet, and Sonic swung hard, and cracked the kendo stick off his skull once more, turning him around as a result! Sonic dropped the kendo, leaped up...
...
...AND NAILED THE SONIC BOOM (Zig-Zag)!
"SONIC BOOM! SONIC BOOM CONNECTS! THE ALTERNATIVE FINISHER OF SONIC FOR THE BIG GUYS HE CAN'T LIFT!" Church exclaimed.
"OH NO! OH NO! THIS CAN'T BE! NOOOOOO! HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?!" Sarge questioned.
Sonic hooks the leg of Bowser!

"BOWSER KICKS OUT! BOWSER KICKS OUT! HE'S STILL IN THIS!" Church shouted.
"YES! I KNEW HE WOULD KICK OUT! THIS IS THE KOOPA KING EVERYBODY! NOBODY CAN STOP HIM!" Sarge shouted.
Sonic sat up stunned at the kick out before pulling at his quills in frustration before going over to the kendo stick and began slamming it across Bowser's body repeatedly in an angry fashion! Sonic was pissed off, and taking it out on Bowser! After ten straight kendo shots across the body, he then stood over Bowser and placed the end of the kendo against Bowser's throat, and pressed it against it! Bowser coughed as the kendo was nearly choking him, and after twelve seconds of this, Sonic stopped. He then climbed a nearby corner with the kendo stick in hand, and waited as Bowser slowly stood up to his feet. Sonic dived off as he raised the kendo...
...AND BOWSER CAUGHT HIM WITH AN UPPERCUT! Sonic fell to the mat in a heap as Bowser fell to his knees. The Koopa King panted before seeing the nearby steel steps and grabbed them, standing and lifting them up with his strenth. He called for the hedgehog to stand up so he could "END THIS DAMN ROADBLOCK!" Sonic stumbled to his feet and turned around...
...AND BOWSER THREW THE STEEL STEPS INTO SONIC'S FACE!
"OH SH*T! Bowser just CREAMED Sonic with those damn steel steps!" Church said.
"And this means that the end is neigh everybody!" Sarge stated.
Bowser roared as he went over to Sonic, picked him up by his quills, grabbed him by the throat, lifted him up...
...
...AND PLANTED HIM WITH THE CHOKESLAM!
"CHOKESLAM! BOWSER GOT ALL OF IT AND SENT SONIC TO HELL!" Church said.
"And finally, Sonic..." Sarge stated.
Bowser dropped down and covered Sonic!

"You Just Got...AH SON OF A BITCH! THIRD TIME NOW! LET ME FINISH MY ONE-LINER!" Sarge exclaimed.
"SONIC WON'T QUIT! SONIC WON'T QUIT! THIS QUEST FOR VENGEANCE IS KEEPING HIM IN THE GAME!" Church called.
Bowser stood on his knees in disbelief, not believing what just happened before roaring in complete anger! He picked up Sonic, grasped his throat, and lifted him up once more...BUT SONIC CAUGHT HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE JAW MID-LIFT! Bowser let go of Sonic, and Sonic landed on his knees and grabbed the nearby chair. Bowser recovered and went to Sonic, but Sonic turned around and threw the chair into Bowser's face! Bowser was staggered and Sonic stood, and nailed a Buisaku Knee Kick on the monster! Bowser then rolled onto the corner, got on the second turnbuckle...waiting for Bowser to get up...
...Sonic dived off for a Diving Homing Attack...
...BUT BOWSER CAUGHT HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS! Bowser tried for a Bowser Bomb...BUT SONIC HURRICARANA'D HIM INTO THE CORNER! Sonic grabbed the chair, ran...
...AND NAILED A CHAIR-AIDED DASH ATTACK!
"Double Knees with a side of steel chair to it! Bowser gets hit hard and Sonic's getting back in this!" Church said.
"Dammit, why do the Blues always have to fight back?! It just isn't fair to us Reds!" Sarge exclaimed.
Bowser fell down to the mat, and Sonic used all his might to turn him over for the cover!

BOWSER KICKS OUT AT 2.9999!
"Yes, Bowser's one tough cookie! There's a reason he's been on the rampage he's been on lately!" Sarge proclaimed.
"These two men have beaten the crap out of each other! Hatred, desire, and retribution have all been wrapped into this war!" Church stated.
Sonic slammed the mat with his hand in frustration before standing up and stalking the monster as he used the ropes to pull himself. Once up, Sonic leaped at him, grabbed the head...
...but Bowser held onto the ropes, causing Sonic to fall down and roll onto his feet! Sonic ran at him, but got a Big Boot the face! Sonic spun around in a daze, and Bowser lifted him up...
...AND NAILED A SITOUT BACKBREAKER RACK DROP!
"Sitout Backbreaker Rack Drop by Bowser! Just back and forth between these two!" Church stated.
"And just imagine what one of them inside a Chamber if they are like this, tired or not!" Sarge said.
Sonic arched his back in pain on the mat as Bowser sat on the mat before standing on the mat. He looked at the Final Clash sign hanging from the ceiling, muttering "I am going there...I WILL be champion..." He then grabbed the steel chair and waited as Sonic slowly stood back up to his feet, he waited as Sonic got up, and gave a giant roar. Sonic turned around...
...Bowser ran and lifted the chair...
...AND SONIC CAUGHT HIM WITH A POKE TO THE EYE! The monster held his eye in pain UNTIL HE WAS LOW BLOWED BY SONIC! Bowser fell down to his knees, holding his lower regions as Sonic grabbed the chair and set it up behind Bowser. He waited as Bowser got back up, and leaped up...
...
...AND HIT THE SONIC BOOM ON THE SET-UP STEEL CHAIR!
"SONIC BOOM ON THE SET-UP CHAIR! THE BACK OF BOWSER'S HEAD JUST MET STEEL!" Church shouted.
"NOOOO! THAT HEDGEHOG CHEATED! THAT HEDGEHOG USED DIRTY MOVES!" Sarge exclaimed.
Bowser was down and out as Sonic covered him!

"AND SONIC WINS THIS ALL-OUT FIGHT!" Church called.
(This is the broken ground
Misery begins to rise
Turn away from yesterday
Tomorrow's in my eyes
Nevermore to be held down
By the wings of history
Nevermore to be cast aside
This day is mine)
("This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage)
"Here is your winner, Sonic the Hedgehog!"
The crowd gave out about seventy-five percent cheers while the other twenty five percent was confused with how Sonic won the match. The hedgehog sat up and held his body as it throbbed in pain, but he paid it no mind as he slowly got up and leaned against the ropes as the ref raised one of his arms in victory.
"Sonic has beaten Bowser! After what was an all-out fight, Sonic gets retribution against the man who screwed him over at Royal Reckoning!" Church noted.
"This is bullcrap! Sonic poked him the eye! He utilized a low blow! He went dirty dammit! He's the ultimate cheater dammit!" Sarge cried out.
"It was No DQ, Sarge, and if Bowser decided to do those things, you would applaud it big time! But it IS unlike Sonic to utilize things like a low blow and eye poke! He just doesn't do that! He's in a very dark place right now...but he got the win and that's what matters to him." Church said.
Sonic slid out of the ring and walked up the ramp, his dark expression never leaving him before turning around and raising a triumphant fist in the air before going to the back. Bowser meanwhile, slowly sat up and had a look of disbelief, which quickly turned into a rage of anger knowing what just happened.
"Oh man...Sonic won, but Bowser...his chance...taken from him, and with how Sonic won, it's only going to fuel his rage...I fear anyone who stands in Bowser's path now..." Church stated.
"And his rage is well justified! He got screwed here dammit! Sonic screw Bowser, and now everyone will pay when they get in his path!" Sarge proclaimed.
"Well Bowser may be one pissed off Koopa King, but regardless, Sonic is heading into the Chamber later tonight. But one has to wonder if what he went through in this match will hinder Sonic's chances of winning?"
The camera goes to backstage, where we see Sonic walking down the halls, still nursing his body a bit as he trekked through them, but suddenly came to a stop as he saw someone coming up to him...
...and it was Matt Ishida to the insane ovation from the crowd. He walked up to the side of Sonic and the two stared with each other for a few moments until Matt.
"Well...that was a...interesting end to your match with Sonic. I didn't peg you as the guy who would use THOSE type of tactics to win, Sonic. Just doesn't seem your style..." Matt noted, placing his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah, well you don't know what I've gone through." Sonic stated coldly. "What Bowser and Mario put me through...my road to get here. I wanted retribution dammit, and I wanted to get into the Chamber so I can get the next part of my retribution. And if that meant actually playing a bit dirty in the end to do so, then fine, so be it. And if you or anyone else got a problem with that, I don't care at this point."
"Hmph...you really have changed, Sonic..." Matt noted. "Well, dirty means or not, you've advanced to the Chamber...though I wonder...a lot has been taken out of you...you only have two hours to rest...do you even have a chance of walking out champion...?"
Sonic got into Matt's face and stared him dead in the eye before speaking. "I said this past Monday that I didn't care if I had to go through hell twice in one night. I was going to get payback, vengeance, and retribution for everything that was done to me. And the first part of that retribution has been complete. And I don't care if I am hurt, I don't care if I only have two hours of rest, I don't care if I have to go into the Elimination Chamber. Because at the end of the night, I am going to end up being Mario's worst nightmare. I am going to be the one that causes his world to come crumbling down. I am going to be the one that ends his reign, and stands tall as World Heavyweight Champion. And when I do...then it's you at Final Clash. And I don't intend on losing then."
Matt stared down Sonic in silence before speaking. "We'll have to wait and see if that comes to pass, Sonic. But if you do somehow win, Sonic...know that at Final Clash, your retribution will be a segway for my resurrection...because like I said...NOTHING is stopping me from walking out champion. Keep that in mind, Sonic the Hedgehog...keep that in mind."
Matt then walked away, leaving Sonic to ponder his words as he watched the Destined leave.
The camera changes to another area backstage, and we see the Bully, Wolfgang walking down the hallways with a smirk on his face, the crowd booing him to hell. He walked down until he saw a backstage hand walking by him with cables by him, and suddenly knocked the cables out of his hands. The cable strewn all over the floor and the backstage hand scrambled to get them while Wolfgang just laughed.
"HEY! Come on man! That wasn't cool!" The man shouted as he tried to gather the cables. "These cables are needed! You can't just do that!"
"And are YOU going to do anything about that?!" Wolfgang smirked as he leaned down to face the hand. "Come on...if you don't like it, do something about it, I DARE you! Or you can just walk away and like what happened? The choice is yours...though one choice ends in a much less painful manner then the other."
The backstage hand looked up at Wolfgang with a fearful look, gulping before speaking. "I...I...I think I'll just take what I can and leave...I'm sure you had your good reasons for doing what you did...I'll...I'll be leaving now! Bye!"
The backstage grabbed as many of the cable as he could be running off, and Wolfgang just laughed. "Hahaha, oh, I LOVE being a Bully! So much fun..." Wolfgang said.
Wolfgang then continued to make his way down the halls, satisfied with what he had done and then turned a corner...but as he did so, a light suddenly flickered on and off for a second. This caused Wolfgang to look up at the light in confusion.
"Huh...? What was that...? Eh, must be faulty lighting. We ARE in Hyrule, after all..." Wolfgang grumbled, earning cheap heat from the crowd watching. Suddenly, another light flickered on and off at the ceiling, causing Wolfgang to get even more confused. "What the...? Is this place REALLY that faulty?!" But as soon as he said, the light behind him flickered, then the lights in front of him flickered, then suddenly the lights all in the hallway began to flicker on and off rapidly, getting to Wolfgang as he looked increasingly confused. "HEY! What the f*ck is this sh*t?! I demand to know! Whoever is doing th-" Suddenly, the lights are all turned off, leaving Wolfgang in pitch black darkness. "Okay, if this is someone's idea of a practical joke, it's NOT funny!" Wolfgang said. "I swear, whoever is doing this is going t-" The lights suddenly turned back on, revealing a very pissed off Bully. "About damn time! Any longer and I would hav-"
Wolfgang as he looked at the wall, and jumped back in shock! On the wall, what wasn't there a minute ago, were blood red paintings of the Combine symbol all over it. Wolfgang was stunned at the sight before him, NOT knowing what the symbols meant and not recognizing them.
"What in the hell is...?" Wolfgang trailed off.
Suddenly, the sound of gargled, synthesized chatter was suddenly heard all around Wolfgang. The Bully looked shocked as he looked around for the source of the chatter, but he could not find it anywhere. The chatter kept echoing all around him, until one by one, the voices all flatlined like ECGs for several seconds before the hallway grew quiet. Wolfgang looked around a bit before his face had a look of...concern. Wolfgang shook his head, grumbling to himself as he tried to get what happened out of his head, leaving the area.
However...as Wolfgang left...Gordon Freeman walked onto the screen to loud cheers from the crowd. The Half-Life protagonist simply stared off into the direction Wolfgang left, eyes narrowed and an unreadable expression on his face as the cameras went back to ringside.
"Oh boy...I think the mind games have begun for Wolfgang. And from the looks of things, it's not going to end well for him in my view!" Church said.
"Oh please, Wolfgang can easily handle whatever is thrown at him! He's the Alpha Male for a reason!" Sarge stated.
"I don't know...Wolfgang looked pretty confused and bewildered by what happened there. And he has no idea that Gordon is behind it. I got a sneaky feeling things may get worse before they get better for Wolfgang!" Church said.
"Shows how much you know, dirtbag! Seriously, Wolfgang will be just fine on this night! I know...I am a Red after all!" Sarge proclaimed.
"For some reason, I doubt that." Church sweatdropped. "Well, now it's time to get the next match underway, and people, this one is where two men have a LOT to prove."
(Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The Colt of personality
I know you love me, I'm in your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the colt of personality
Like Tiger Woods and Charlie Sheen
I'm the Colt of personality
The Colt of personality
The Colt of personality)
("Colt of Personality" by Colt Anderson)
The crowd exploded into an EVEN 50/50 mixed reaction as the..."unique cover" of a popular song played. As the music played, Colt Anderson came out wearing an extravagant green robe with the Internet Title around his waist. He took a knee on stage as the mixed reaction grew louder and shouted "Internet Champ, baby! God of the Internet, woo!" Colt then stood up and made his way down the ramp in a confident manner, and then entered the ring. He unhooked his belt, climbed the turnbuckle and raised it high shouting "I'm wearing green, Hyrule! The same color as Link, only better! You know you want to cheer for me!" However, the crowd only gave the same mixed reaction.
"The following interpromotional contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Internet Championship! Introducing first, representing PCUW, from Lemon Brook, weighing in at 160 lbs., he is the self-proclaimed "Colt of Personality" and Internet Champion, Colt Anderson!"
"At Best in the World, Colt Anderson captured the Internet Title in a Fatal 4 Way Ladder Match, but the match left sour tastes in Cage." Church said. "He's called Colt out, saying his win was based on bias, and he wants to prove Colt deserves nothing."
"And he DOES deserve nothing! He's a complete nobody when you move past all the hype! Hell, I PINNED him at the XCW Summer Supershow to become XCW Hardcore Champion! And that DOES make me better than every dirty Blue! And if I could do that, then Cage can easily do the same!" Sarge stated.
"Ever since Cage's promo, the reactions for Colt have never been the same, constantly mixed like tonight, but Colt wants to show he's NOT overrated! Will this be the night he proves himself? We'll see." Church said.
(I am perfection!
Perfection
I am perfection!
So take your best, give it all you got - Bring it on!
Some things are exactly what they seem
I will define the things you dream
Go check the score again
Call mine a perfect ten
The broke the mold when they made me
I am perfection!)
("I Am Perfection" by Beta Wolf)
The crowd gave the same 50/50 mixed reaction as the music played, and moments later, Johnny Cage walked out with head held down and wearing a blue vest that had "RR" on one side, and "MK" on the other. Cage stood on the ramp on a bit before running his hands through his hair and threw them out before making his way down the ramp with an intensely focused expression on his face. Cage walked around the ring, got on the apron, and entered through the ropes. Cage sat on them for a moment however, and looked out to the crowd for a bit before fully entering. He walked up to Colt and got face-to-face with him, giving an intense glare with Colt who just gave his goofy smirk before being separated.
"And the challenger, representing UCA and the Rookie Revolution, from Hollywood, California, weighing in at 231 lbs., Johnny Cage!"
"With a new theme in hand, Cage is probably the most serious I have ever seen him in UCA! Ever since Best in the World, Cage has been one pissed off Kombatant!" Church stated. "He wants to right the wrong, and put down the man who in his view hasn't worked for anything he has!"
"And there's no doubt that he will! Colt is nothing more than some untalented goofball! Stating on the XCW Supershow that he was better than Cage and the UCA roster?! Hah, he's in over his head here! The IWC God falls tonight!" Sarge stated.
"This match has shockingly become one of the most look forward to matches of the night, and with the crowd practically split, there's something that tells me it will be interesting." Church said.
Cage took off his vest and threw it outside, while Colt took off his robe and handed his title to the ref. The two stood in opposite corners, and the ref raised the Internet Title high for all to see before giving it to ringside. He checked on both men before ringing the bell. The two slowly circled each other, looking to get an advantage on the other before locking up. Cage grabbed Colt in a Side Headlock, tightening on the head before Colt backed up into the ropes, and threw Cage off. Cage bounced off the ropes and knocked Colt down with a Standing Shoulder Block, and snarled down at him before bouncing off the ropes again. Colt rolled onto his stomach, and Cage stepped over him before bouncing off the ropes, and Colt stood up and leapfrogged over them. Colt tried for a Dropkick for when Cage came back, but Cage held onto the ropes to stop himself. Colt landed on his knees and ran at Cage, but Cage caught him with a foot to the jaw. Cage ran at Colt, but Colt ducked him. Cage turned around and got hit with a Dropsault from Colt! Colt stood up and began running around the ring, holding his hands up in a peace sign as he practically cheered at his offense. Cage stood up, incensed at this behavior from Colt. The crowd was mixed as Colt shouted "Just the beginning of my victory, people!" before turning around...and getting slapped right across the face by Cage!
"OH! Cage just slapped the taste right out of Colt's mouth! Did you hear that?!" Church said.
"I sure as hell did, and that's what Colt gets for being an idiot! Cage is about to show him what a Red is all about!" Sarge stated.
Colt held his cheek as Cage yelled at him "I AM NOT GOING TO LET YOU ACT LIKE AN IDIOT ON MY MOMENT! I WON'T LET YOU DEMEAN WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME!" Suddenly, Colt turned to Cage with narrowed eyes and threw a right at Cage! Colt began to unload punches on Cage, backing him up into a corner where he would not relent. The ref pulled Colt away from Cage, but Colt broke away from the ref, where he got kicked in the gut and thrown in the corner by Cage. Cage rained down fists on Colt before backing up and running at Colt, but swung through the ropes and caught Cage with a Pendulum Overhead Kick! Cage staggered back, and Colt leaped onto the ropes and nailed a Springboard Dropkick on Cage. Colt went for the cover. 1...2...Cage kicked out. Colt picked up and nailed a few Knife Edge Chops, the crowd going "Woo!" at each one. Colt then whipped him into the ropes and tried to catch him on the rebound with a clothesline, but Cage ducked it, bounced off the ropes again and caught Colt with a Flying Forearm! Cage rolled onto his feet and waited as Colt got back before nailing a One-Handed Bulldog on him! Cage covers Colt! 1...2...Colt kicks out!
"Cage has control of this match after a flurry from Colt! And you can tell he relishes every blow he lands on Colt!" Church said.
"Colt has practically made all of Cage's hard work meaningless with how much he's been given everything! But it WILL end tonight! Justice shall be served Red-style!" Sarge proclaimed.
Cage grabbed Colt in a headlock and tightened his hold around the head, but Colt slowly stood up with Cage still holding on. Colt then suddenly stomped on Cage's foot hard, causing him to let go and hold his foot in pain. Colt then bounced off the ropes at Cage...
...and Cage caught him with a Hip Toss! Colt shot back up to his feet, and Cage caught him with a Dropkick to the face! Cage with the cover! 1...2...Colt kicks out! Cage picked up Colt, but Colt suddenly executed a Drop Toe Hold, and quickly locked in an Ankle Lock! Cage flailed around before turning on his back and kicking Colt away before too much damage could be done! Both scrambled to their feet, and Colt threw a clothesline...
...Cage ducked it and nailed a Neckbreaker Slam!
"Cage with the Neckbreaker! Cage has gotten Colt neutralized right now!" Church said.
"Hah, did you expect anything less, dirtbag?! And watch as this remains the theme of the entire match!" Sarge said.
Cage dropped down and began laying down furious fists on Colt and after nine fists, he picked up Colt and whipped him into the ropes. Cage went for a Back Body Drop, but Colt caught him with a Sunset Flip Pin! 1...2...Cage kicks out! Both got up, and Colt caught Cage with a Jumping Calf Kick! Cage got back up, but was hit with a Jumping Knee Smash that sent him into a corner. Colt then ran and leaped at him, and hit a Monkey Flip on Cage! Colt then leaped onto the top rope, and waited for Cage to stand, and dived off...
...and Cage moved out of the way! Colt landed on his feet, and then turned around and ran at him, but Cage caught him with an elbow to the face! Cage tried to run at Cage, but the champ suddenly hit a Snap Powerslam! Cage rolled over to the side of the ring and stood up, where Colt clotheslined him over the ropes to the outside!
"Colt is back in this thing! Even I find this guy absolutely annoying, but this kid is refusing to stay down! Internet Title means a lot to him!" Church stated.
"Oh come on, Colt is just getting lucky! Give me five minutes, and Colt will be falling flat on his face like he always does!" Sarge said.
Colt watched as Cage slowly tried to stand up on the outside, and shouted "THE FORCE IS WITH ME!" before running at the ropes, bouncing off them, and diving through the ropes at Cage...
...
...AND CAGE CAUGHT COLT IN MID-AIR WITH A SHADOW KICK TO THE FACE!
"HOLY SH*T! Cage caught Colt! He caught him in the damn face with the Shadow Kick! He kicked Colt in freakin' mid-air during the Suicide Dive!" Church said.
"That was all shades of epicness! Only Johnny could pull off such a move like that! Not laughing at him, are you?!" Sarge asked.
Colt was laid out on the outside from the Shadow Kick, and Cage wiped his face before picking up Colt and throwing him into the ring. He got on the apron, climbed up the corner...
...and then hit a Diving Elbow Drop on Colt! Cage covers Colt!
"Cage going for the win off the Elbow!" Church called.

Colt kicks out!
"Oh look, Colt's actually fighting! ...And he's going to be stomped because of it." Sarge stated.
Cage stood up and stomped on Colt's face before picking him up and nailing a Suplex. Cage then rolled onto his feet, and delivered a second Suplex to Colt. He then rolled onto his feet with Colt again, and looked for the trifecta...
...but Colt landed behind Cage and quickly nailed an Inverted Suplex! Cage groaned in pain before getting to his knees, where Colt delivered Shoot Kicks to the chest, chanting "YES!" ever time he lands one. After six Shoot Kicks, Colt went for a Roundhouse Kick to the skull...
...and Cage ducked it! Colt spun around in a circle, and Cage lifted him up into a Fireman's Carry! Cage tried to spin him off, but Colt landed in front of Cage and nailed a Reverse Roundhouse Kick to the skull! Cage stumbled in a daze, and Colt leaped at the ropes...
...and connected with a Springboard Tornado DDT!
"Colt just plants Johnny right on his head! I think for once, Colt may actually be taking this seriously!" Church said.
"I don't care if he takes the entire universe seriously! Colt WON'T win! He WON'T win!" Sarge stated.
Colt covered Cage!

Cage kicked out!
"And THERE is reason for my claim, which will turn out to be true like always!" Sarge stated.
Colt picked up Cage and went for an #Ownage (Stunner), but Cage pushed him into the ropes. Colt bounced off them, and into a Hip Toss from Cage, but he managed to land on his feet and take Cage down with a Snap Arm Drag! Cage shot up to his feet, and Colt took him down with a Spinning Heel Kick to the jaw! Colt covers! 1...2...Cage kicks out! Cage rolls over to the ropes and stands up near them, and Colt runs at him, and Cage Back Drops him over the ropes...
...but Colt lands on the apron! Cage turns around, and Colt nails a Head Kick on Cage! With Cage stunned, Colt slingshots over the ropes...
...
...CAGE BOOTS HIM AS HE SLINGSHOTS, CAUSING HIM TO FALL OVER THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR!
"Boot to the face! Colt went flying, and he just got a foot to the jaw and spilled outside! He may have a few loose teeth!" Church stated.
"And that's how you do a goddamn boot the RIGHT way! ...The RED way!" Sarge said.
Cage glared down at Colt on the outside before climbing up the corner and standing tall on the turnbuckle as Colt slowly stood up on the outside...
...
...AND HIT A DIVING CROSSBODY ON COLT ON THE OUTSIDE!
"SON OF A...! Did Cage just freakin' dive off the turnbuckle onto Colt?! Did he really just do that?!" Church asked.
"He sure did! He's willing to do ANYTHING if it means beating this dirtbag once and for all!" Sarge said.
Cage slowly stood up holding his stomach before picking up Colt and throwing him back-first into the announce table before throwing him back into the ring! Cage slid back in and covered Colt!

Colt kicks out at 2.5!
"And Colt kicks out AGAIN! Cage is beating down the kid, but he just won't quit!" Church said.
"Give it time, give it time, the little IWC dweeb will be begging for mercy soon!" Sarge said.
Cage frowned and said to Colt "Stay down, you worthless piece of sh*t!" before picking him up and placing him against the ropes, and began choking him against them! The ref admonished him and began to count! 1...2...3...4...Cage let go before five and backed off as Colt sat against the ropes and coughed, holding his throat. Cage tried to go back for Colt, but Colt kicked Cage in the knee! Cage held his leg, and Colt kicked him in the knee, forcing him down to one. Colt then got up and kicked Cage right in the face, forcing him back up! Colt ran at him, but Cage caught him with a vicious Forearm Smash! Colt turned around, and Cage grabbed him in an Inverted Facelock! He lifted him up...
...
...AND COLT SUDDENLY FELL BACK DOWN AND HIT CAGE WITH AN #OWNAGE!
"#Ownage! #Ownage out of nowhere! Colt then that Inverted Lift into a Stunner! Cage may be out!" Church said.
"Oh no! Not good! The Blues are trying to steal one! Ref, don't let Blue be dirty thieves!" Sarge stated.
Colt hooks the leg!

Cage kicks out at 2.6!
"Thank God the ref actually sees travesty when it's happening!" Sarge said.
"Sarge, there was no travesty...he was just being a fair referee..." Church deadpanned; Sarge opened his mouth to speak. "Shut up, I don't want to hear more crap about this."
Colt picked up Cage and began nailing Forearm after Forearm into the face of Cage before bouncing off the ropes, and ducking a Clothesline from Cage! He bounced off the ropes again...AND HIT A SINGLE-LEG RUNNING DROPKICK TO CAGE! Cage stumbled up to his feet and backed into a corner, and Colt ran at him and nailed a Corner Dropkick! Cage stumbled out in a daze, and Colt backed up into the adjacent corner, and run full speed at Cage...
...and Cage suddenly lifted Colt over him and into the corner! But Colt landed perfectly on the top turnbuckle with his back turned! Cage turned around...AND COLT NAILED A TWISTING DIVING CROSSBODY!
"Colt is on goddamn fire! Colt is just kicking ass right now, and Cage can't seem to do anything about it!" Church said.
"Oh come on, who does this kid think he is?! CM Punk?! Couldn't even tie that man's shoes!" Sarge said.
Colt stood up and posed for the crowd that was still mixed before climbing up the corner as fast as he could. He stood tall on it, but suddenly Colt shot up and caused Colt to get crotched on the top! Colt grimaced in pain before Cage climbed up there to meet him and delivered vicious rights before hooking up Colt in a Headlock. He went for the You Got Cage'd (Top-Rope Bulldog)...
...
...and Colt pushed him off at the last minute and Cage crashed and burned on the mat below! Colt regained himself a bit before seeing Cage down before standing up on top and measuring Cage. He dived off and flipped in mid-air...
...
...and Cage rolled out of the way, avoiding the Colt 50 (450 Splash)! Colt landed on his feet but stumbled a bit. This allowed Cage to suddenly lift up Colt into an Electric Chair from behind...
...
...AND HIT AN ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP AGAINST THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!
"OH GOD! Cage just dropped Cage viciously against the turnbuckles! I think Anderson may be out cold!" Church said.
"Yes! Just perfect! Colt..." Sarge began.
Cage pulled him to the center of the ring and covered Colt!

Colt kicks out at 2.8!
"You Just Got...Oh dammit! Stupid Colt and his trolling crap..." Sarge muttered.
Cage growled in absolute frustration before picking up Colt and nailing vicious knees to the skull of Colt, unrelenting before whipping Colt into the ropes. Cage then nailed a vicious Clothesline as Colt bounced back to him! Cage drops for the cover! 1...2...Colt kicks out! Cage was getting very frustrated and shouted at Colt "YOU AREN'T BETTER THEN ME! ACCEPT THAT!" before picking him up and whipping him into the corner. Cage ran at him...
...Colt moved out of the way, avoiding the Stinger Splash! Cage hit the turnbuckle hard, stumble back, and Colt rolled him up in a School Boy...
...
...but instead of a pin, Colt grabbed the legs...
...
...AND LOCKED IN THE FIGURE-SIX LEGLOCK (Figure-Four, except legs are in shape of six)!
"FIGURE-SIX LEGLOCK! FIGURE-SIX! COLT'S OWN PERSONAL HOLD! LOOK AT CAGE'S LEG BEND!" Church said.
"THAT DAMN ANDERSON! HE PULLED A FAST ONE ON CAGE! NOW HE'S TRYING FOR SUBMISSION! FOR THE RED GLORY, DON'T TAP OUT!" Sarge said.
Cage was crying out in immense pain as half the crowd was chanting "TAP! TAP! TAP!" while the other half chanted "PLEASE DON'T TAP! PLEASE DON'T TAP!" Colt was tightening on the legs and would not let go! Cage slowly tried to turn himself over...but Colt kept him in the same position! Cage tried to reach for the ropes, but they were too far away! Cage bit his hand, trying to keep himself from tapping out! Cage's face was contorted in pain...
...
...before he slowly sat up in his position...AND SLAPPED COLT STRAIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! The crowd went "Ooohhh" as Colt still held the hold, but now he actually looked pissed...BEFORE SITTING UP AND SLAPPING CAGE! Cage growled before slapping Colt again, and Colt retaliated with another slap! The two began trading slaps like crazy, the Figure-Six Leglock still applied.
"Are you kidding me?! Cage and Colt are slapping each other silly! And all while that Figure-Six Leglock is still applied! These two are just going at it!" Church said.
"That Internet Title means a lot to both men at this point, that's why they are doing this! But obviously, Cage will win this battle! He's from Hollywood!" Sarge proclaimed.
Cage and Colt continued to exchange Inoki slaps at a rapid pace, until suddenly Cage poked Colt in the eye! Colt held his eye in pain and let go of the Leglock, and both men recuperated on the ground until Cage got up, holding the leg that was damaged. He picked up Colt, but Colt suddenly nailed a Shoot Kick at his hurt leg! Cage fell down to his knees from the shot, and Colt backed up...
...
...
...AND NAILED A VICIOUS SUPERKICK!
"OH! I think Colt may have just kicked Cage's head to the goddamn moon!" Church commented.
"Where the hell did that damn Superkick come from?! I demand to know!" Sarge shouted.
Colt dropped over Cage for the cover!

Cage rolls the shoulder out at 2.83!
"Dammit Johnny, stop making me worry! These nearfalls are killing me!" Sarge exclaimed.
"This match is so damn intense! These two are just beating the hell out of each other!" Church exclaimed.
Colt looked in disbelief at the kickout before shaking his head and rolling out onto the apron and grabbed the ropes. He waited as Cage pushed himself onto his feet, and then Springboarded towards him...
...
...
...AND FLEW RIGHT INTO A SHADOW KICK!
"OH DAMN! For the second time in this match, Colt flew right into the damn Shadow Kick!" Church exclaimed.
"And that's what Colt gets for being such an idiotic dirtbag!" Sarge shouted.
Colt was once again laid out as Cage sat on the mat, catching his breath and holding his leg in pain before looking at Colt, then at the corner...and a smirk formed on his face. He stood up, still limping a bit and grabbed Colt, and dragged him to the nearby corner before climbing it himself. He stood tall on it, ran his hands through his hair before throwing them at Colt...
...
...
...AND HIT A COLT 50 ON COLT ANDERSON!
"WHAT THE?! COLT 50 BY JOHNNY CAGE?! CAGE SOMEHOW STOLE COLT'S FINISHER!" Church shouted.
"HAH! DIDN'T THINK HE COULD PULL OFF SUCH A MOVE, HUH?! Colt Anderson..." Sarge exclaimed.

"SHUT UP!" Sarge shouted.
"COLT KICKED OUT! COLT KICKED OUT OF HIS OWN FINISHER! COLT WON'T DIE! NOT TONIGHT!" Church called.
The crowd was going insane as Cage sat up in disbelief, pulling at his hair before looking absolutely livid. He stood up and shouted at the ref that it was a three, but the ref stood his ground and said it was two. Cage cried out in frustration at Colt, shouting "IF YOU WON'T STAY DOWN, I'LL PUT YOU DOWN!" Cage then picked up Colt, stared him dead in the eyes with hatred before lifting him onto his shoulders. With a snarl, he spun him off...

Colt looked surprised but only sighed before getting up and going to the nearest corner. He slowly climbed up it, and eventually reached the top...
...
...Suddenly, Cage shot up, ran at the corner, and climbed up to meet Colt...
...
...he grabbed Colt's head...

Cage was absolutely stunned as he was pracitcally about to explode in rage at the man who he thinks made all his work crap still kick out! He picked up Colt and placed him against the corner, and snarled right in his face, before slapping him hard! He then backed up, and ran forward, and lifted his foot up...
...
...and Colt moved out of the way! Cage missed the Drive-By Kick and hit the turnbuckle instead! Cage held his leg in pain, which was still recovering from the Figure-Six Leglock...AND COLT HIT A SPRINGBOARD ENZIGURI ON CAGE! Cage spun around in a circle and fell to his knees!

...AND HIT THE CAGED FURY!
"CAGED FURY! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! COLT HITS CAGE'S OWN FINISHER!" Church said.
"OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" Sarge cried out.
Colt hooks both legs as tightly as possible!

CAGE KICKS OUT AT 2.9!
"CAGE KICKED OUT! CAGE KICKED OUT!" Church shouted.
"SO CLOSE! SO CLOSE! CAGE, STOP SCARING ME DAMMIT!" Sarge shouted.
Colt was in complete shock, asking the ref "That was three, right? I can go home and party with the girls, right?" The ref shook his head and Colt just sighed. Colt stood up, and then a sneaky grin came onto his face. He grabbed Colt, and lifted him onto his shoulders. He looked straight at the camera and said "Phil, buddy, this one is for you!" He then threw Cage off his shoulder...
...
...lifted his knee up...
...
...AND CAGE CAUGHT THE KNEE ON THE WAY DOWN! Cage brought down the stunned Colt with it...AND LOCKED IN A CALF KILLER!
"CALF KILLER! CALF KILLER! COLT'S MEMENTO TO PHIL BACKFIRED! NOW HIS LEG IS IN PAIN!" Church called.
"THIS IS PAYBACK FOR THAT FIGURE-SIX LEGLOCK EARLIER! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT, HUH COLT?!" Sarge shouted.
The crowd was going crazy as Colt was practically crying out in pain! Colt pulled at his hair, and clawed at the mat as Cage tightened the hold even more! Colt cried out in immense pain more, and he saw the ropes! He crawled his way towards the ropes, but Cage only pulled on the hold, even more, trying to get Colt to tap out! Colt gritted his teeth, but continued to crawl closer...
...
...
...he reached a hand out...
...
...
...it shook violently...
...
...
...AND HE GRABBED THE ROPES! The ref told Cage it was a rope break and counted! 1...2...3...4...Cage let go of the Calf Killer, and stood up with an incensed look on his face! Cage looked at Colt as the IWC God tried to get up, and he grabbed his hurt leg and pulled him away. Colt stood up and hopped on one leg as Cage smirked at him...
...AND COLT HIT AN ENZIGURI TO THE SKULL! Cage was dazed on his feet as Colt shot up and nailed a Swinging Neckbreaker! Both men were laid out!
"Cage didn't act when he should have and got a kick to the skull as a result and a Neckbreaker! Both men are down! Both men are exhausted! They've beaten the snot out of each other!" Church said.
"Both men want to win the Internet Title so much! People may call it a "fake belt" but these two are fighting for it like it's the World Title! And trust me when I say, Cage wants it more!" Sarge stated.
The crowd started dueling chants, chanting "Let's Go Johnny"/"Let Go Colt!" over and over again as Cage and Colt were down until they both began to stir. Eventually, they managed to reach their feet, and Cage threw a right. Colt nailed one of his own, and the two traded rights, the crowd responding mixed with each blow. Eventually, Cage threw a right, but Colt ducked it and nailed a Half-Nelson Suplex! Cage held his head in pain as he got up, and Colt grabbed him and whipped him into the corner, and ran at him, but Cage shot out of the corner with a Flying Clothesline! Cage picked up Colt, and went for a Suplex, but Colt landed behind Cage, and nailed a Roundhouse Kick that was heard throughout the arena! Cage fell down and rolled over to the corner, and sat against it. Colt then went and began stomping a mudhole in Cage's ass viciously, until the ref grabbed Colt and tried to keep him at abay as Cage slowly pulled himself up to his feet. Colt shook his head and pushed the ref out of the way, and went to Cage...
...
...AND CAGE HIT A NUT PUNCH ON COLT! The ref didn't see it as the crowd explodes and Colt's eyes go wide comedically. Cage then lifted Colt onto his shoulders, got in the middle of the ring...
...
...
...AND HIT THE CAGED FURY!
"CAGED FURY! CAGED FURY! CAGE HIT THE NUT PUNCH ON COLT AND THE REF DIDN'T SEE IT! JOHNNY CAGE HAS PLANTED COLT ANDERSON!" Church exclaimed.
"YES! YES! YES! Colt Anderson..." Sarge began!
Colt tightly hooks the leg!

COLT KICKS OUT AT 2.999!
"You Just Got...BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! THAT DID NOT HAPPEN! THAT DID NOT HAPPEN!" Sarge shouted.
"Colt kicked out...Colt just kicked out! He kicked out of the Caged Fury! Can Johnny Cage even BEAT Colt Anderson?!" Church exclaimed.
The crowd was going crazy as Cage laid on the mat, his face completely in shock and disbelief before he pulled at his hair, eyes shut wide as he said. "Why do you hate me, God...? Why? Why do you put this goddamn fool over ME?" Cage was overwhelmed with frustration and emotion as he slowly stood up and picked up Colt and nailed fist after fist to the face of Colt, determined to probably bust Colt open! He wanted to hurt him now! Cage whipped Colt into the ropes and caught him on the rebound with a Flapjack! Cage then picked up Colt, and nailed a Bridging German Suplex! 1...2...COLT KICKS OUT AGAIN! Cage cried out in despair as he stood up again and picked up Colt. He placed him between his legs, and lifted him up for a Powerbomb...
...
...and Colt rolled through it and rolled up Cage in a Sunset Flip Pin! Cage rolled out of that though and both men got to their feet! Cage went for a Discus Clothesline, but Colt ducked it, leaped at Cage from behind...
...
...AND HIT A CRUCIFIX DRIVER!
"Crucifix Driver out of nowhere! Cage just drilled onto his head! Colt has Cage reeling!" Church said.
"Oh no! Not good! Cage do something! Stop this idiot!" Sarge exclaimed.
Cage was out of it as he stumbled up to his feet from the Crucifix Driver, and Colt kicked him in the gut and nailed an Impaler DDT! Colt then got on the apron, climbed the corner quickly, and stood on top. He then shouted "FOR THE INTERNET!" before diving of...
...
...
...AND HITTING THE COLT 50!
"COLT 50! ANDERSON GOT ALL OF IT! COLT JUST DRILLED CAGE ALL THE WAY TO BLOOD GULCH!" Church shouted.
"NO! GOD NO! THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! PLEASE NO!" Sarge exclaimed.
Colt then hooked the legs and shouted with a smile "I WIN, BABY!" before coutning along with everybody!

CAGE KICKS OUT AT 2.999!
"...Cage kicked out...Cage kicked out...JOHNNY CAGE F*CKIN' KICKED OUT! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE?!" Church shouted.
Sarge was in disbelief for a few moments before he spoke. "...THANK THE RED LORD! THANK YOU! CAGE STILL LIVES! CAGE STILL LIVES!" Sarge cheered.
The crowd was at a fever pitch as Colt slowly grasped what just happened, standing on his knees. He looked down at Cage, then at the ref, then at the crowd...and realized that he did NOT win! Colt stood up and ran his hands through his hair, trying to figure out what was going on, as if this did not compute! Colt clicked his tongue before turning around to see Cage trying to push himself up to his feet. Colt shook his head and spoke to Cage off-mic, "Come on man! You know how this ends! I win, I get the celebration, get my popularity back, get all the girls, go on to become World Champion, and become the face of Fiction Wrestling while you go back to making bad movies and irrelevancy! The IWC even said this was true! Come on man! Just accept it! That's just how our futures are!" Cage stood up on his knees, hearing all of this, looked at Colt dead in the eye...
...
...
...and flipped Colt the Double Bird. The crowd goes crazy at this gesture.
"...Cage with flatout defiance to Colt Anderson...Cage flatout telling Colt to go f*ck himself..." Church said.
"...What I see before me is a thing of beauty...Cage is without a doubt one of the best Reds ever..." Sarge saluted.
Colt stared at Cage as he continued to give him the Double Bird, and the movie actor then said "Go to hell, Anderson..."...
...
...
...COLT NAILS CAGE WITH A THUNDEROUS BUZZSAW KICK!
"OH MY GOD!" Church shouted. "COLT JUST SCRAMBLED CAGE'S BRAINS WITH THAT KICK!"
"CAAAAAAGGEEEE! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sarge exclaimed.
Colt dropped down and covered Cage with a big smile of relief, hooking the leg.

"...I don't know what to say...I don't even know WHAT TO SAY!" Church said.
"...Cage refuses to get Sarge'd...Cage just refuses to get Sarge'd..." Sarge repeated.
Colt slowly sat up, the kickout registering with his mind...and after a few moments, for the first time, a look of frustration crossed the face of Colt. He stood up and looked down at Cage for a moment before picking him up...AND DROPPING HIM WITH A DIAMOND CUTTER! He stood up and yelled to the camera "That was one was for you, Jeremy!" before getting on the apron and climbing the corner. He eventually stood tall on it, and looked down at the motionless Cage for a bit...and smiled...and shouted "I AM THE INTERNET CHAMPION! THE FUTURE WORLD CHAMPION! AND THE COLT OF PERSONALITY! WOO!" Colt then dived off...
...
...
...flipped in mid-air...
...
...
...CAGE ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY! Colt crashed onto the mat stomach-first and stumbled up to his feet in pain! Cage lifted him up onto his shoulders, quickly spun him off...
...
...
...AND HIT A SECOND CAGED FURY!
"CAGED FURY! CAGE WITH A SECOND CAGED FURY OUT OF NOWHERE!" Church said.
"THIS COULD BE IT! THIS COULD FINALLY BE IT! Colt Anderson..." Sarge began.
Cage turned Colt over quickly and hook the legs as tightly as he has ever done!

"YOU JUST GOT F*CKIN' SARGE'D!" Sarge finished happily.
"CAGE WINS! CAGE WINS! CAGE WINS!" Church proclaimed.
(I hold your life here in my hands
Though you try hard to understand
Your little mind won't turn
Those little wheels will burn
You'll recognize just who I am
I am perfection!
Perfection
I am perfection!
So take your best shot, give it all you got - Bring it on!)
("I Am Perfection" by Beta Wolf)
"Here is your winner...and NEEEEEEEWWWWW Internet Champion...JOHNNY CAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEE!"
The crowd was in a thunderous mixed reaction, still 50/50, as Cage rolled off of Colt and panted heavily on the mat. Slowly, the realization of the situation dawned upon Cage, and a look of unbridled joy reached his face. He slowly sat up, and the ref proceeded to hand him his new title. Cage took hold of it and stood up, looking at it with a sense of relief before having his hand raised by the victory and he shouted "YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!" He raised the title high before running around like hell, celebrating his victory before exiting the ring and running around it, chanting "YES! YES! YES!"
"Cage did it! Cage has done it! In what was a match that exceeded all expectations, Cage backed up every word he said! Cage beat Colt fair and square and is now the NEW Internet Champion!" Church said.
"Let this day be remembered forever, dirtbag! Let it be remembered as the day that Cage proved that he is NOT a joke! He has rectified the injustices at Best in the World! He has reached the next level and obtained Red glory!" Sarge stated.
"I still hate the son of a bitch...but I have to give him credit where credit is due..." Church sighed. "He fought for that title, and in the end, earned it..."
As Cage continued to celebrate in the ring, Colt rolled out of the ring and sat against the apron, a look of disbelief and devastation crossing his face. He ran his hands through his hair, wondering how in the hell he lost to Johnny Cage of all people. Colt walked up the ramp as the crowd CONTINUED to give him a mixed reaction, some applauding him for his effort, others rejoicing that he lost. Cage watched as Colt walked to the back and smirked in triumph before placing the title over his shoulder and shouting "HAIL THE ROOKIE REVOLUTION!"
"I don't like Colt either, but he put up one hell of a fight just like Cage, didn't want to lose like Cage." Church said. "Give him credit there, but if he had gone for the second Colt 50 immediately, this may be a different story."
"Well, Colt has no one to blame but himself for that! Cage is the better man, and he proved that tonight! Colt goes home a LOSER! Which is exactly the title he deserves! And Cage is now a champion!" Sarge stated.
"Who knows where these two men will go from here, but one thing's for certain...on this night, love him or hate him, Cage gets retribution in his mind! You are looking at your new Internet Champion!" Church said.
The camera goes to the backstage locker rooms where we see Falco sitting down in a chair, hands together and head held down as if thinking about something. Krystal sat beside him, and just sighed. Suddenly, Caboose walked in onto the scene.
"Hey, little blue birdie! Oh, you are so focused! Yeah, I can see that...soooooo...can you tell us a story before your match?! I love stories! They help me pass the time when Church is around doing that thing where he talks during the matches and speaks about stuff no one knows about!" Caboose said.
Falco just remained silent and Caoobse was confused at this. "Ummmmm...is everything alright? Do you need to get you some grape juice or something? Or...?" Falco continued to remain silent and Caboose then whispered to Krystal. "Psst...did he forget his lunch today? I know I get mad when I forget my lunch."
Krystal just sighed before speaking to Caboose. "Look Caboose, Falco is-"
"You want to hear me talk?" Falco asked, which gained their attention. "Well...the time for talking, you see, is over. It's been over since six days ago, and now it's time I take Starforce's own words...and shove them up his ass and kick his teeth down his throat. What he has done to each of my friends...is something I can't forgive. Me and Fox didn't always get along...I sometimes got bored by Peppy's words...Slippy sometimes annoyed me to hell...but they all meant something to me, as my best friends in the world...and for each one of them, Starforce will feel hell..."
Falco then stood up and looked deadly as hell.
"...and a punt to the skull. That is a guarantee." Falco finished with gritted teeth as Krystal looked worried and Caboose looked blankly at Falco for a few moments.
"...So no story time...?" Caboose asked before being kicked out of the room by Falco.
The camera then goes to an area backstage where we see Sly and Jak hyping up Ratchet as much as they can.
"Okay, Ratchet, it's almost time for the Cruiserweight Gauntlet! You and six other guys going for a shot at Final Clash for Cruiserweight gold! Luigi may have screwed you and Jak over last week, but come on, that guy is just a tool! You got this! You are going to win this one for the Saints, and then bring that gold back to us! We are going to back to the top, and it starts tonight!" Sly smirked.
"Yeah, no doubt about it! I am going to win this Cruiserweight Gauntlet! Cruiserweight has always been my domain in UCA, and soon enough, I'll be wearing gold once more at Final Clash! And after I win, you are going to go onto win the World Title tonight in the Chamber! This will be our night!" Ratchet chuckled.
"And yeah, then Final Clash...Ratchet wins the Cruiserweight Title, I'm going to win a title at Final Clash, and Sly will retain in the main event! Final Clash...it's going to be a Sony Saint night for sure!" Jak smirked. "Trust me, this Path to Final Clash is going to be ours for the taking!"
"Got that right! All the other guys in the Chamber...they better watch their backs. Because that World Title is in my sights, and I plan on stealing it under all of their noses. They don't expect me, they don't think I can do it...and that's going to be all of their downfalls. Because that's where I work best...when you don't see me coming. How do they think I pull off all my heists? Because no one ever expects it. Trust me guys...three-time Champ coming your way." Sly smirked.
"Is that so, Sly?"
Sly turned around at the sound of the voice...
...and came face-to-face with Matt Ishida, who stared him down. Ratchet narrowed his eyes before speaking. "Looks like it's time for me to go. I'll catch you later Sly, Jak. Besides, this doesn't need me."
Ratchet then left for his match-up and Jak himself nodded at Sly and left, knowing this was between the two. Sly stared down Matt for a bit until the Destined spoke.
"You are one of the six competitors in the Elimination Chamber...and the one person people say has no chance of winning the Elimination Chamber. The dark horse or underdog as some would say. I've heard people call you a placeholder in this sort of match, that you are easily going to be the first eliminated. If this is all true, should I cross you off the list of people who may face me in a little over a month?" Matt questioned.
"Oh Matty Baby..." Sly smirked as he patted Matt on the head. "It's true...people aren't giving me much of a chance here...I'm the guy that compared to the others, can't pull it off tonight no matter what...I am the proverbial dark horse...but that's just the way I like it. See, last time I was considered a dark horse in an Elimination Chamber like this...I became the SECOND person to retain a title inside the structure. See, everybody is counting me out...when they are all just helping me to win, because it's a position I thrive in. And Matty Baby...I hope you are cool with having your resurrection stolen from you at Final Clash, because that's what I am going to do. It's nothing personal, dude...I'm just a thief, it's what I do."
"Confident, are we?" Matt said as he faced off with Sly. "Well we'll see what happens. Five other guys want that title as badly as you...five very different people that could very well pull it off over you...but I look at you...and you would be a very interesting opponent for Final Clash. I look at you...and the master thief versus the Digi-Destined...interesting. But know this...my resurrection isn't something that can be stolen from me so easy. And if you face me at Final Clash, you'll realize what you are up against. You'll realize that this isn't something you just can't steal...if you win...my resurrection will put you down for the count. Keep that in mind."
"Oh, I will, good ol' Matty...won't stop me from trying though." Sly smirked, tipping his hat. "I'll see you around Ishida...ESPECIALLY after I win the Chamber. Ciao..."
Sly then left the area, leaving Matt to watch him leave with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Interesting confrontation between Matt and Sly...Matt looked over Sonic, and now Sly...is he scouting his possible opponents for Final Clash?" Church asked.
"Maybe so, but all the scouting on these guys is pointless! There's only one man he needs to scout...the great Red himself, Super Mario!" Sarge asked. "Not that it will do him much good..."
"But how can you be so sure that Mario can do what has been done in about six years and retain the World Title in the Chamber?" Church raised an eyebrow.
"Because he's the Greatest Champion Ever, dirtbag! Only the Greatest Champion Ever can do it! So prepare to eat your words later tonight!" Sarge stated.
"Your complete and utter sucking never stops astounding me..." Church sighed. "Well, in any case...time to determien who is going to Final Clash for a different title..."
The bell rang a few times before the announcer spoke. "The following contest is a Gauntlet Match...and it is to determine the Number One Contender for the Cruiserweight Championship at Final Clash!"
The crowd cheered as they waited for the first participants for a bit and then...
(On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain, we watch them as we go
In fire and pain, and once again we know)
("Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce)
The crowd booed as the lights turned into a flame red and Takuya came onto the stage. He crouched down onto the stage for a few moments before standing up and throwing his hands upward with index fingers extended, flame pyro going off onto the stage. Takuya then made his way down the ramp and slid into the ring before stepping on the bottom ropes and raised his arms with index fingers extended in a pose.
"Introducing first, the individual starting the Gauntlet at #1, from Jiyuugaoka, Japan, weighing at 224 lbs., Takuya Kanbara!"
"Well, this is a damn surprise! Takuya Kanabara is going to try his hand at the Gauntlet! He seems like he wants gold and he wants it to be the Cruiserweight Title!" Church said.
"Takuya is one of the wild cards that we did not know about before this! Nice! Takuya may shock everybody and win the Gauntlet here tonight! I like what he is doing for the Reds!" Sarge stated.
"Well, he's going to have to somehow, someway literally get past six other guys. And there's also finding out who he's going to face in the opening minutes of the Gauntlet..." Church said.
(Oh save us all again from a cynic's Armageddon
When your mind didn't want to break, your rusty mouth consented
I think you're all afraid - too afraid to admit pollution
Now there's no easy way to avoid such a hard solution
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?)
("Digital (Did You Tell?)" by Stone Sour)
Loud cheers rang throughout the crowd as Ratchet came through the curtain and onto the stage, holding a blue cloth all over his body. He stood at the center stage, crouching down as he looked out at the crowd for a few seconds before swiftly standing up, throwing the cloth off and raising his arms in the air, pyro going off beside him. He walked down the ramp with a confident stride and got into the ring, holding his fist in the air.
"Introducing the participant starting at #2, from Veldin, representing the Sony Saints, weighing 205 lbs., "The Blueprint" Ratchet!"
"Oh boy, the Sony Saint's high-flying specialist will be starting things off with Takuya, and he looks ready to go! He wants that Cruiserweight Title shot at Final Clash bad!" Church said.
"Hah, this dirty Saint is done for! Starting at the beginning, against TAKUYA of all people! Heh...no chance whatsoever..." Sarge stated.
"Yeah, I would buy that if that wasn't your personal bias talking, Sarge..." Church rolled his eyes. "We'll just have to wait and see what happens and who will get the coveted title shot."
The ref checked on both men before ringing the bell. They slowly circled each other before engaging in a lock-up which had Takuya quickly grab Ratchet in a Waistlock, which was followed by Ratchet executing a Standing Switch. Ratchet pushed Takuya into the rope, and Warrior held onto them and Ratchet rolled away and onto his feet. Ratchet ran at Takuya, but got a Side Kick to the gut! Takuya threw Ratchet into the ropes and nailed a few Knees to the gut before backing up, and nailing a Corner Forearm Smash on Ratchet! Takuya then grabbed Ratchet's head and nailed a One-Handed Bulldog! Takuya tries to go for a quick cover! 1...Ratchet quickly kicks out. Takuya locks in a Side Headlock, but Ratchet quickly stands up and throws Takuya off of him. Takuya rolls back onto his feet, and into a Dropkick from Ratchet. Ratchet picks up Takuya and whips him into the ropes, and Leapfrogs over him as he comes back. Takuya bounces off once more, and into a Sleeper Slam from Ratchet! Takuya stumbles up to his feet, and Ratchet nails a Springboard Back Elbow to Takuya! Ratchet covers Takuya! 1...2...Takuya kicks out! Ratchet mounts Takuya and begins raining down vicious Forearms on the Warrior of Fire.
"Action didn't waste time getting quick and fast-paced. Both men want to end this quickly and conserve as much energy as possible for the later opponents." Church said.
"But you know as well as I do, dirty Blue, that neither of them will go down easily. But Takuya is tougher then Ratchet, so we all know who's winning here." Sarge said.
Ratchet picked up Takuya and went for a Suplex, but Takuya landed behind Ratchet and quickly nailed him an Inverted DDT. Takuya rolled onto his feet and stomped the hell out of Ratchet before picking him up and planting him with an STO. Takuya with another cover! 1...2...Ratchet kicks out! Takuya picked up Ratchet and threw him out of the ring and followed him out of there. He picked up Ratchet and tackled him back-first into the apron, the Lombax crying out in pain, before Takuya then grabbed him and threw him straight into the steel steps. With Ratchet laid out, Takuya picked him up and threw him back into the ring. He then got on the apron, climbed the corner, and waited as Ratchet got back up, and nailed him with a Missile Dropkick! Takuya with another cover! 1...2...Ratchet kicks out again. Takuya got a bit frustrated as he picked up Ratchet, and tried for a Digi-Blaze, but Ratchet elbowed Takuya several times in the skull until he go, and then quickly nailed a Half-Nelson Suplex!
"Ratchet regains control of the match after a vicious assault from Takuya! Both men want to end this so quickly!" Church said.
"But Takuya will pull this one out! Ratchet can take control all he wants, he WILL lose!" Sarge said.
Takuya held his head as Ratchet picked him up, but Takuya suddenly nailed an European Upperct that sent Ratchet back a bit! Takuya ran at Ratchet, but the Lombax caught the running Takuya with a Hurricarana! Takuya stumbled up and into an Enziguri from Ratchet! The allowed Ratchet to grab him from behind...
...and hit him with a Ratchet-Plex!
"Ratchet-Plex! And it's bridged into a pin!" Church said!

Takuya kicks kicks out!
"Hah, the Red shows his superiority with the kick out! I like it!" Sarge stated.
Ratchet picked up Takuya and pushed him into a corner, climbed up to the second ropes, and began to rain down fists on Takuya's skull! 1...2...3...4...5...Takuya suddenly lifted up Ratchet and dropped him face-first across the turnbuckle! Ratchet backed out of it, dazed...
...and Takuya suddenly nailed an Inverted Hurricarana on the Lombax!
"Inverted Hurricarana by Takuya! The Warrior of Fire has got Ratchet down!" Church called.
"And Ratchet..." Sarge began.
Takuya covered Ratchet!

Ratchet kicks out!
"You Just Got...Ah fudge buckets." Sarge said.
Takuya picked up Ratchet, but got nailed with a Sit-Out Jawbreaker out of nowhere! Takuya was dazed as Ratchet kipped-up and went for a Jumping Spinning Heel Kick, but Takuya ducked it, grabbed Ratchet, and hit a Shoulder Jawbreaker! As Ratceht feell, Takuya got on the second turnbuckle and waited as Ratchet got back up...
...
...AND NAILED HIM WITH THE FLARE BLITZ!
"Flare Blitz! That Diving Knee nearly took Ratchet's head off!" Church stated.
"And Ratchet..." Sarge began.
Takuya covered Ratchet!

Ratchet kicks out!
"You Just Got...Oh come on! Not fair!" Sarge complained.
Takuya was a little miffed by the kickout before he picked up Ratchet and grabbed his head, placing him in Suplex position, the crowd booing at this...
...
...Takuya lifted him for the Pyro Twister...
...
...Ratchet suddenly began to knee Takuya in the skull while lifted-up several times! He kept doing it until Takuya dropped him in a daze, and kicked him in the gut. He hooked both arms...
...
...AND HIT THE TURBO VELOCITY!
"And Ratchet gets 100% Turbo Velocity!" Church said.
"Oh dammit all to hell!" Sarge exclaimed.
Ratchet keeps Takuya in a pin!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
"And Takuya has been eliminated!" Church exclaimed.
Ratchet rolled off of Takuya as the Legendary Warrior was rolled out of the ring by the ref and escorted to the back. Ratchet then stood in the ring, running his hands through his fur as he waited for his next opponent.
"Ratchet manages to knock off Takuya, and advances to the next part of the Gauntlet! But how much did the match with Takuya take out of him?" Church said.
"Enough for him to not get past another star! He got lucky here! I can't wait to see who takes him down here!" Sarge stated.
(No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
The scars will remain
I'm falling apart
Leave me here forever in the dark)
("Give Me a Sign" by Breaking Benjamin)
The crowd booed as Luigi came out to the music, a smirk on his face he looked out towards the waving out his index fingers as he raised his arms, and then looked at Ratchet in the ring, who glared at him.
"Introducing next, representing the Mushroom Kingdom, from Brooklyn, New York, now residing in Mushroom Kingdom, weighing in at 220 lbs. Luigi!"
"Oh boy, Luigi is up next, and after how the Tag Team Match between him and Ratchet went down on Monday, you can tell Ratchet wants a piece of him!" Church said.
"Oh he'll get more then a piece of him, dirtbag. He'll get so much Luigi, that he won't be able to WALK once he gets it all!" Sarge claimed.
"...Do you even think before you talk?" Church asked.
Luigi wasted no time in running down the ramp and slid into the ring. Luigi ducked a shot from Ratchet and began nailing his own rights before kicking him in the gut and nailing a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! He picked up Ratchet and whipped him into the ropes and caught him with a Dropkick to the face! Luigi makes the cover! 1...2..Ratchet kicks out! Luigi picked up Ratchet and placed him for a DDT, but Ratchet spun out of it and nailed a Russian Leg Sweep! Ratchet slowly sat up as he recomposed himself before standing up and picking up Luigi. He nailed a few Bionic Elbows to Luigi, stunning him before running at the ropes, and Springboarding off them...
...AND INTO A POWERSLAM IN MID-AIR!
"Powerslam in mid-air! Luigi just snatched Ratchet out of the air and planted him!" Church stated.
"Hah, truly awesome Luigi! Truly great stuff!" Sarge stated.
Luigi covered Ratchet!

"But it ain't enough to get Ratchet down for the count!" Church stated.

...and Ratchet got the knees up and Luigi crashed onto them hard! Luigi held his gut in pain as he slowly stood up, but Ratchet grabbed his arms from behind...AND NAILED A RELEASE TIGER SUPLEX! Luigi held his head in pain as he rolled onto the apron, and Ratchet nailed a Baseball Slide that sent Luigi to the outside. Ratchet then grasped the ropes and waited as Luigi got back up...
...AND NAILED A CORKSCREW PLANCHA!
"And Ratchet just took a risk and it paid off! Luigi is reeling now! Ratchet still has life!" Church said.
"Oh come on, how can he still have life?! Are you Blues trying to mess with me?!" Sarge asked.
Ratchet stood up as the crowd cheered loud, the Lombax pointing to the Final Clash sign with a determined gaze. He then picked up Luigi and threw him back into the ring. He then got on the apron and climbed up to the top...
...
...but Luigi suddenly shot up and climbed up to meet Ratchet...
...
...AND NAILED A TOP-ROPE OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY! The crowd explodes as Luigi stands and waits as Ratchet stumbles up to his feet completely out of it. Luigi grabbed and hooked Ratchet up...
...
...AND HIT THE GREEN LIGHTNING!

"Well it ain't a Green Lightning, Sarge, that's for sure!" Church said.

"Too close for comfort! Ratchet nearly got caught there!" Church said.
Both men scrambled to their feet, and Luigi ducks a clothesline, and quickly nails a Full Nelson Slam on Ratchet! Luigi regains his bearings for a bit before going over to a corner and climbs it, back facing Ratchet. He stood up and readied himself...

"And Luigi goes bye-bye from the Gauntlet!" Church exclaimed.
Ratchet let go of Luigi and slowly pushed himself up, though he was getting more and more tired. Luigi was rolled out of the ring by officials and helped to the back from the big move he took. Ratchet stood up and told them to bring out the next one.
"Ratchet manages to get payback on Luigi after an unbelievable top-rope Ratchet-Plex! He's gotten past two...he just needs to beat four more!" Church said.
"Dammit Luigi, what the hell?! How could you let Ratchet of all people?! Gah! Goddamn Saint! I hope whoever the next person is knocks his block off!" Sarge stated.
(I CAME TO PLAY!
I came to play
There's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray (I came to pay)
Say goodbye to the good old days
They're never coming back

I guess you had a dream
But it can't be saved (I came to play)
I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way

"Ratchet put up one hell of a fight, but the exhaustion finally caught to him! And Toad took full advantage to take Ratchet out of the match with the Life Skills!" Church said.
"Hah, and Toad has this in the bag finally! No one's taking him out! Time to watch the Mushroom dominate!" Sarge stated.

("Meant To Live" by Switchfoot)
"WHAT?!" Church exclaimed.
The crowd exploded into shocked cheers as Toad's eyes went wide as TAILS came out onto the stage with a big grin on his face. He looked out to the crowd and shrugged and said "Why the hell not?" before running down the ramp.
"The next entrant in the Gauntlet, representing the Sonic Heroes, from Westside Island, weighing in at 194 lbs., Miles "Tails" Prower!"
"What?! Tails?! One half of the World Tag Team Champions is in the damn Gauntlet?! Well, he wasn't scheduled for a match tonight...so he think he said "Why not try for a SECOND title"?!"

"Toad takes control of Tails after a big flurry of offense from Tails! Toad may be a Cruiserweight and can fly when he wants to, but he knows how to ground his opponents!" Church said.
"And that's what gives him the edge! His opponents only know how to fly! Toad can both fly and ground, which gives him the edge! Ground the opponent, and he's got this in the bag!" Sarge stated.

"Oh come on! Toad stole it!" Church exclaimed.
"And Tails is OUT OF HERE! Yes! Bye-bye little foxy!" Sarge waved.
Toad let go of the ropes and Tails and backed away from him, a smirk on his face. Tails sat up and looked at Toad stunned and angry before he was told by the ref to leave. With a glare at Toad, Tails exited the ring and walked up the ramp while Toad just laughed.
"An exciting part of the Gautnlet gets soured thanks to Toad using the ropes for leverage! The ref didn't see Toad holding them, and now Tails is out of the Gauntlet!" Church said.
"It ain't cheating if you don't get, and Tails was meant to lose anyway! He's still got that Tag Title...which he lose in no time at all! So who is the next opponent? Bring it on!"
(And I'm feeling for my answers
And I'm trying to find my way
The truth is that I don't know what to say
And I'm fighting for my reasons
And I'll take this all the way

("Finest Hour" by Bulletproof Messenger)
The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Sora came out onto the stage with a smirk on his face. He shook himself as if to get himself into the mood before clapping his hands together and running down the ramp.
"The next entrant in the Gauntlet, from Destiny Islands, weighing in at 203 lbs., Sora!"
"Sora's up next at Number 6! Former Tag Team, Intercontinental, Cruiserweight, and World Champion! 2011 Mr. Money in the Bank! And he looks to add another Cruiserweight reign to his resume!" Church said.
"But he needs to win the Gauntlet to get the shot, and with Toad in his way, I don't think he can do it! Sora's going to be another victim!" Sarge stated.

"Toad gave it all he had, and had one hell of a performance, but in the end, he got taken down by the fresher Sora! And we are now down to our FINAL entrant! Whoever wins here get the title shot!" Church said.
"Dammit, I wanted Toad to win so bad! Ugh...why must the Red gods say Toad can't win here...? Well...Sora's better then nothing I guess...and if the final guy is who I think it is then..." Sarge trailed off.
(I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Whoa, but heaven, no, heaven don't hear me
And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away)

The crowd gave a mixed reaction as the music played, and Sora gave a cocky chuckle as he felt that this wasn't going to be any problem at all.
"And the final entrant in the Gauntlet, from Gotham City, weighing in at 195 lbs., Robin!"
"Robin is final entrant Number Seven in the Gauntlet, and he's entering not only wanting the shot, but also to snap the year-long losing streak he has had in UCA!" Church said.
"Well, it ain't going to happen! It's ROBIN, and we all know how much he's suck! This is just an easy title shot for Sora ri-Hey, where the hell is Robin?" Sarge asked.
The crowd became confused as Robin didn't come out, and Sora himself was wondering where he was as he looked at the ramp.
"Where the hell is that damn Robin?! He needs to come out here and take his loss like a man!" Sarge stated.
"After his words six days ago, it is weird that he wouldn't be ou-HEY! LOOK!" Church exclaimed.

Robin got off Sora and backed into the adjacent corner, the crowd now behind Robin thanks to his passionate performance here. He waited as Sora slowly pulled himself up in the corner, and then ran full speed, and nailed a brutal Corner Dropkick! Sora was dazed as Robin then grabbed him in Suplex position, and lifted him up...Sora landed behind Robin, and quickly nailed a Dragon Suplex and bridged it! 1...2...ROBIN KICKS OUT! Sora growled in frustration before getting up and Dropkicking Robin in the face as he was on his knees! He then picked up Robin and whipped him into a corner, and ran at him. Robin bounced off the turnbuckle AND CAUGHT SORA WITH A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! Robin stood on all fours, trying to get a breather before rolling onto an apron. He waited as Sora slowly stumbled up to his feet, and went for a Springboard Dropkick...
...
...BUT SORA CAUGHT HIM BY THE LEGS! Robin dropped to the mat and Sora tried for the Key-Shooter, but Robin suddenly rolled him up in a Small Package! 1...2...SORA KICKS OUT! Both men got up, Sora went for a Roundhouse...Robin ducked it! Sora spun around...
...
...AND GOT HIT WITH A ROUNDHOUSE FROM ROBIN! Sora stood in a daze, and Robin grabbed, quickly looked at the Final Clash sign before lifting him up Suplex-Style...
...
...AND HIT THE HERO'S FALL (Vertical Suplex Dropped Down into Single Knee Facebreaker)!
"HERO'S FALL! HERO'S FALL! ROBIN HITS IT! SORA'S OUT!" Church said.
"NO! NO! NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Sarge exclaimed.
Robin hooks the leg as tightly as possible!

SORA KICKS OUT AT 2.99!
"NO! SORA KICKED OUT! JUST BEFORE THE THREE! SORA'S STILL IN IT!" Church exclaimed.
"HAH! I KNEW IT! I KNEW ROBIN COULDN'T DO IT! YOUR BEST SHOT WASN'T ENOUGH! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW, DIRTBAG?!" Sarge asked.
Robin was stunned as the crowd was in disbelief, pissed that Robin didn't get the win. Robin ran his hands through his hair, wondering what the hell to do. An idea came to mind, and he nodded as he picked up Sora and placed him between his legs. He hooked the arms and legs, for his WWE finisher, the Package Piledriver! He went to lift him up...
...
...AND SORA BACK BODY DROPPED HIM! Robin writhed in pain as Sora fell down to all fours, trying to recover badly. After a few moments, both men slowly got up to their feet. Robin turned around just as Sora did...
...
...Robin swung his foot..
...
...AND SORA CAUGHT THE ROUNDHOUSE! He tripped him up, placed his leg between Robin's, tied them up...
...
...
...AND LOCKED IN THE KEY-SHOOTER!
"KEY-SHOOTER! Sora's got it locked in and locked tight! Robin's in the middle of the ring!" Church said.
"It's all over now you stupid Boy Wonder! Tap out! Accept your fate!" Sarge exclaimed.
Robin cried out in immense pain as Sora applied the hold as hard as he could, pulling back on the legs! Robin pulled at his hair, but when asked to tap, he refused to quit! He stayed like that for a good ten more seconds until he slowly tried to crawl to the ropes. Sora was pulled with him, but he kept the hold locked in, and slowly but surely, Robin inched his way to them...
...
...
...he reached out a hand...
...
...
...he nearly had them...
...
...
...AND SORA PULLED HIM HIM BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! Sora applied the hold even more, and Robin was practically writhing in agony. Robin's hand shook in the air, as he tried to resist...
...
...
...but after over a minute in the hold, Robin has to tap out!
"ROBIN TAPS! ROBIN TAPS! SORA WINS THE GAUNTLET!" Church exclaimed.
(So where do we go when
The doors keep on closin
You're wasting your time don't stand in our way
So now we have chosen
To just kick them open
Take this as a sign don't throw it away)
("Finest Hour" by Bulletproof Messenger)
"Here is your winner of the Gauntlet, and the Number One Contender for the Cruiserweight Title...SORA!"
Sora let go of Robin and fell down to the mat, tired from what he went through, but the ref knelt down and raised his arm in victory. Slowly but surely, Sora slowly rolled over and sat against the rope. When the realization of his victory came to him, a big ol' smirk came onto his face. A chuckle escaped his lips as he pulled himself up with the ropes and leaned against them as he pointed to the Final Clash sign and shouted "I AM GOING THERE, BABY! I AM BOUND!" All the while, Robin rolled out of the ring, disappointed as hell as he walked to the back.
"Sora has survived the Gauntlet! Seven different men fought like hell for the coveted Final Clash title shot, but in the end, it's the Keyblade Wielder that gets the title shot! Sora is going to Final Clash!" Church stated.
"Dammit, I wanted Toad to win so bad...and so did a man named Cato! God, I can hear his screams of agony! I FEEL YOUR PAIN, CATO! I TRULY DO!" Sarge cried out. "Ugh...Sora's better then nothing I guess."
"And Robin has nothing to be ashamed. He may have lost again, but he put one of the best performances I've seen from him in UCA so long If keeps that up, he may just win a match yet." Force stated.
Sora climbed up a turnbuckle and pointed to the Final Clash sign, motioning that the Cruiserweight Title was coming to him. The Keyblade Wielder had a cocky smirk on his face as he looked at the sign with great joy. Suddenly, the Titantron showed Tidus watching the whole scene from backstage on a TV, the Cruiserweight Title over his shoulder. He gave a nod as he said "Bring it on, Sora...bring it on."
"And there's the Cruiserweight Champion himself, and he now knows who he'll face at Final Clash! The match is set: Tidus vs Sora at Final Clash for the Crusierweight Championship at Final Clash! Final Fantasy vs Kingdom Hearts!" Church announced.
"Well, might as well cheer for Sora here! He's better then that damn dirtbag known as Tidus! Kick his damn block off Sora! Make sure his reign ends in tragedy!" Sarge cheered.
"One match for Final Clash has been made official...another will be tonight inside the Chamber. Damn what an intense first round of matches, who knows what will happen next? But in any case, Sora...Tidus...their Path to Final Clash is set to collide real soon." Church said.
A/N: AND THERE WE GO! The first part of Last Stand has been finished! I am so happy right now! :D My goal is to finish this PPV before the FWAs, and I hope I can do it! I put a lot of effort into these matches, especially the Gauntlet Match snce that one took of a lot of work! O_O Also Asheel, I hope you liked Colt/Cage and liked my portrayal of Colt and that I did him right. I also hope you don't mind the result. I really felt like Cage needed that win more so...please don't kill me! Aside from that, I hope you all loved this chapter!
