Universal Character Association: Last Stand

---

The camera went to the arena, which this time was showing the Elimination Chamber hanging above from the ceiling...and the lights slightly dimmed as it was slowly lowered down from the ceiling. The crowd went crazy at the sight of this, knowing what was about to happen.

"Ten tons of steel...sixteen feet in diameter...two miles of steel chain...Satan's Structure, known as the Elimination Chamber. And six men are about to enter it for a shot at the big stage." Church said.

"Super Mario...Scourge the Hedgehog...Red...Crash Bandicoot...Sly Cooper...Sonic the Hedgehog...these are the six who shall enter this Chamber, not just for the World Title, but to main event Final Clash. And a glorious Red shall emerge as the victor." Sarge stated.

"But even YOU have to know that these men know that are very well about to shorten their careers. Every single man in this match has experienced the Chamber before, and they all know what it does to them." Church stated.

"Oh trust me, dirty Blue, the Chambers I have called beside you - UNFORTUNATELY - make me admit that. This Chamber lives up to every nickname it has...and even I can't predict what we are going to see this time around. All I know...prepare to see carnage..." Sarge stated.

"The Elimination Chamber Match with the biggest stakes imaginable is up next, and here's how it all came together." Church stated.

---

Mario is holding up the UCA World Heavyweight Championship in the center of the ring, surrounded by the Mushroom Kingdom. As this is happening, a voiceover of Mario on the first Flame of 2013 plays.

"Over two years ago, I was brought back into this company for a reason…"

Mario's return to UCA is shown, with him taking out then-UCA World Heavyweight Champion Pit.

"SUPER MARIO IS BACK! WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN A UCA RING IN OVER FIFTEEN YEARS!" Church yelled.

"Every so-called challenger, every unworthy foe that came my way, I squashed and put back in their place!" Mario's voiceover is heard saying.

Multiple shots of Mario defending the UCA World Heavyweight Championship are shown in rapid succession.

"I mean, you people say that I suck every time I'm in a goddamn ring, but, like always, I prove all of you parasites wrong! I mean, I just keep winning…"

Mario slams a steel chair over the crown of the head of Shadow, following this up with the Super Mario Splash! Mario is then seen raising the UCA World Heavyweight Championship on the Final Clash 2012 stage, the Mushroom Kingdom right by his side.

"MARIO SCREWED OVER SHADOW! MARIO'S WALKING OUT OF FINAL CLASH AS CHAMPION!" Church exclaimed.

"And winning…"

The ref was down as Link has Mario for a Triforce Drop, but Mario spins out of it and pushes Link down to the mat and stumbled back into a corner. Mario suddenly began to mess with a turnbuckle as Link ran at him, and suddenly pulled out brass knuckles and nailed Link with them. Mario is then seen slowly standing upwith the World Title.

"GODDAMMIT, THE BRASS KNUCKLES! MARIO JUST KNOCKED OUT LINK'S LIGHTS OUT!" Church shouted.

"And winning…"

Hope rushes forward at Mario for the Dose of Light, but Mario ducks it and instead hits Shadow instead! Hope is in a state of shock as Mario goes behind Hope and rolls him up, hanging on to the ropes for leverage as the referee counts the pinfall.

"MARIO HAD THE ROPES! MARIO HAD THE DAMN ROPES! HE STOLE IT FROM D-HEDGE X!" Church yelled once more.

"AND WINNING!"

Mario is shown hitting a chair-assisted Super Mario Splash onto Sonic, then is shown clutching the World Title close to him on the stage.

"Goddamnit…thanks to Bowser, Mario escapes with the World Title again!" Church says calmly for a change.

"I'M THE ONE STANDING TALL! Not Red! Not Scourge! Not Crash! Not Sly! ME! ME! I'm the last man standing while all these other men, all these wrestlers who are challenging me at Last Stand are LAID THE FUCK OUT!...

…I am the longest-reigning, best, and quite frankly…LAST UCA World Heavyweight Champion in history. Why…?"

Mario is shown raising the World Title on the stage of Royal Reckoning 2012, the same night that he started his historic reign as a voiceover of him is heard saying…

"…BECAUSE I'M THE GREATEST CHAMPION EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"

The screen goes black for a moment…

(Thousand Foot Krutch – "War of Change)

The screen then shows the Elimination Chamber being slowly lowered from the ceiling as flashing lights go off.

"It's the most unforgiving structure ever put together by the hands of Man. It's a playground where bones will be shattered, lives will be risked, and careers will be shortened. It's the Elimination Chamber…and it very well may be the greatest test of Mario's reign!" Church said.

[It's a truth that in love and war,

World's collide and hearts get broken

I want to live like I know I'm dying

Take up my cross, not be afraid]

Individual shots of Sly, Scourge, Sonic, Red, Crash, and finally Mario are shown before Mario is heard delivering another promo.

"I am Super Mario, the greatest gaming icon in history, the greatest wrestler in the history of Fanfiction Wrestling! No one but me deserves to be the World Heavyweight Champion, so you all better learn to respect that!"

[Is it true what they say, that words are weapons?

And if it is, then everybody best stop steppin'

Cause I got ten in my pocket that'll bend ya locket

I'm tired of all these rockers sayin' come with me…]

Sonic hits Mario with the Sonic Driver, Scourge hits Red with the Spear, and Crash hits Sly with the Crash Landing through a table from their Summer Brawl 2010 match. Then, multiple shots of notable moments in the Elimination Chamber are shown, such as Sephiroth hitting the Masamune Slam on Jackie Chan from the top of the pod, Team 2D catching Sora with the Non-Stop Violence, Gaz Powerbombing Amy Rose through the plexiglass pod. As the latter three videos are shown, Church is then heard narrating over them.

"Only TWO men have ever retained inside the UCA Elimination Chamber! Is this the match that finally usurps Mario from his high horse?" Church asked.

[Wait, it's just about to break

Its more than I can take

Everything's about to change!

I feel it in my veins

Its not going away

Everything's about to change!]

Rapid highlights of the Chamber participants are shown, such as Crash and Sly trading fists in their heated rivalry, Scourge Spearing Red three times in rapid succession, referencing his three straight Pay-Per-View victories over him, and Mario breaking Sonic's leg at Revolution 2012.

Mario's assault on Red, Scourge, and Crash from two weeks prior is shown, ending with him raising the UCA World Heavyweight Championship overhead over their broken and beaten bodies.

[This is a warning, like it or not

I break down, like a record spinning gotta get up

So back off!

This is a warning, like it or not,

I'm tired of listenin', I'm warning you, don't try to get up!]

Red is shown Poke-Flowing Blue, hitting Scourge with the Journey Through Kanto, and slamming Mario down with the Red Spin. A voiceover of him is heard over this.

"Mario's title reign be damned, I WILL become UCA World Champion for a ninth time! You can bank on that!"

Scourge is then shown Spearing down multiple opponents such as Pit, Master Chief, Jak, Naruto, and Link in quick sequence. A voice over of his own is heard over these videos.

"Last Stand will be the night that the King takes back what is rightfully his! Last Stand will be the night that the King takes back his damn throne!"

Sly is shown using his sneaky and crafty maneuvers to win multiple matches. He is then heard saying this over the videos.

"I was one of those two men who retained the World Title inside the Chamber. At Last Stand, I show why that is the case by stealing back the World Title."

Crash is then shown hitting the Crash Landing on Sly, Wumpa Twisting Blue onto a pile of chairs, and hitting Cloud Strife with a Crash and Burn. A voiceover of Coco is heard.

"Crash is really determined for this match! He wants to show everyone that he isn't just a hardcore individual, but that he's World Champion material!"

Sonic is seen in his new persona, screwing Bowser out of his World Title shot, hitting Red with the Sonic Driver, and nailing Mario with the Dash Attack. His own voiceover is heard as well.

"Bowser…he was the first obstacle on my road to revenge. Come the Chamber, the second half of revenge is complete…when I finally rip the World Title from Mario's cold, lifeless hands!"

Mario is finally shown winning the World Title at Royal Reckoning 2012, defeating Red at Survival Games, and screwing over Tails and Knuckles at Ragnarok. His voiceover is finally heard.

"These scum need to realize greatness when they see it! I have held onto this belt for 379 days and counting! There isn't any way that they're taking it from me this close to Final Clash! Last Stand will just be another victory for the GREATEST CHAMPION EVER!"

[There's a war going on inside of me tonight (don't be afraid)

There's a war going on inside of me tonight (don't be afraid)…]

Shots of all six men in previous Elimination Chamber matches are shown, such as Sonic raising the World Title in the first ever UCA Elimination Chamber, Crash shouting, "PANCAKES!" atop the pod, Red hitting the Poke-Flow on Blue on a piece of plexiglass, Sly hitting Fox with the Honor Among Thieves, Scourge Spearing Sonic out of his boots after losing his World Title, and finally, Mario hitting Cloud Strife with the Super Mario Splash.

[It's just about to break

Its more than I can take,

Everything's about to change,

I feel it in my vein

Its not going away,

Everything's about to change]

Sonic turned Red around, lifted him up…AND HITS THE SONIC DRIVER!...

…Red hooked Scourge back-to-back…AND STRUCK WITH THE POKE-FLOW!...

…Sly places Bowser in an Inverted Facelock…AND HITS THE HONOR AMONG THIEVES!...

…Crash comes into the ring…AND HITS THE CRASH AND BURN FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! He throws up a Jeff Hardy pose…

…ONLY TO GET CLOCKED IN THE FACE WITH THE WORLD TITLE BY MARIO! As this happens, one last voiceover by Church is heard.

"Who's going to walk out of Last Stand as World Heavyweight Champion? And more importantly, WHO will be the man that's gonna go on to the main event of Final Clash?"

The final shot shown is of the Final Clash sign hanging from above before transitioning to the Elimination Chamber hanging above the ring before transitioning to the arena once more.

---

The camera went back to the ring, which had Elimination Chamber now surrounding it. The crowd waited in great anticipation as the bell was rang three times, and the ring announcer spoke.

"Ladies and gentleman...the following contest is the main event for Last Stand...and is the Elimination Chamber Match...for the UCA...WORLD...HEAVYWEIGHT...CHAMPIONSHIP!" The crowd went crazy at this announcement. "The rules are as followed: Four men will be locked inside the pods in the chamber, and two men shall start the match. Every five minutes, a competitor shall be released from their pod and into the match. This continues until all six men are in the match. You are eliminated via pinfall or submission in the ring. The last man standing will be declared the UCA World Heavyweight Champion...and main event...FINAL...CLASH!"

The crowd cheered greatly, as they waited for whoever the first entrant would be. Moments passed and the crowd got antsy. Then...

...

"You think you know me?"

(On this day I see clearly

Everything has come to life

Better place and a broken dream

And we'll leave it all behind

On this day its so real to me

Everything has come to life

Another chance to chase a dream

Another chance to feel

Chance to feel alive)

("Metalingus" by Alter Bridge)

The crowd booed loudly as smoke filled the stage, and when the lyrics began to play, Scourge the Hedgehog came out from the smoke, signature jacket and sunglasses on as he stood on the stage. He looked out to the crowd with a very focused and intense expression on his face, no cockiness on his face at the moment. He then looked out to the Chamber for a few moments before making his way down the ramp. Once midway down, he stopped there and positioned himself, before raising his hands up in rock horns to explosive green pyro behind him. Once the pyro finished, he made his way down the rest of the ramp and stood at the steps to the Chamber. He slowly took off his sunglasses and jacket, handing them to the ref as he continued to survey the Chamber before going up the steps and entered the Chamber. He took a deep breath before being led into a pod and the ref chained the pod shut as Scourge looked ready to go.

"Introducing the challengers first, from Moebius, weighing in at 225 lbs., "The King of the World" Scourge the Hedgehog."

"Scourge the Hedgehog catches a lucky break as he will be locked inside one of those lexan pods and not to have to start this match from the get-go. And for a guy like Scourge, that is a HUGE opportunity that he will take full advantage of, especially since he knows what this Chamber is like. His most notable Chamber experience was at Breakdown 2007 when he defended the World Title inside it, a Chamber Match eventually won by another participant here." Church recalled.

"And guess what happened afterwards? Scourge Speared Sonic out of his damn boots and made him pay for that travesty, which allowed Ben to cash-in his briefcase to win the title there. Scourge knows how this Chamber is, and you can tell that he wants to make up for that Chamber loss finally by winning the World Title here tonight and headlining Final Clash. And you bet your sweet Red ass that he's my SECOND pick to win it all here! He's better then most of the others in it!" Sarge stated.

"Scourge has proclaimed his desire to "take back his throne" as he so puts it, and after being the second-to-last eliminated in the Rumble, this is his last chance to not only get back that throne, but to get it in time for the big show. This is a do-or-die situation for Scourge the Hedgehog here, and when he's backed into a corner like that, Lord knows what he'll do." Church stated.

(I never noticed until I focused

On everything you did, you said

You lit the fuse inside my head

Thank you for reminding me of why I'm sick inside

Thank you for the venom, did you think it would paralyze?

These scars I scratch, I tear are there

Under my skin

Where you've always been

Thank you for reminding me to sin with a grin)

("Sin With a Grin" by Shinedown)

The crowd's boos turned into loud cheers as the new music played, and Sly Cooper rolled out onto the stage and into his signature crouch pose, cane in hand. With a big ol' smirk, he slowly stood up and shouldered his signature cane, and tipped his hat to the crowd, before he made his way down the ramp. Once he reached the Chamber, he took off his hat and handed it and his cane to the nearby crew before he took a good look at the Chamber and then quickly entered the Chamber. He shot a quick look at Scourge, and winked at him, the hedgehog scowling before he entered the ring and quickly leaped onto a corner and looked out to the crowd, motioning the title was coming to him before he got off and then entered the pod designated for him as it was chained shut.

"Introducing next, representing the Sony Saints, from Paris, France, weighing in at 226 lbs., "Thievius Raccoonus" Sly Cooper!"

"Everyone's favorite thief is entering the Chamber, and the Coon of the Sony Saints is a dark horse for many for this Chamber. Not many people expect him to pull off the victory, but the thief is not put off this fact. He seems to actually enjoy it, saying it'll be that much easier for him to steal the title when everybody least expects it. The reason for his confidence has got to come from his own Chamber success, most notably Survival Games 2006, where he became the second, and so far, LAST person to retain their title inside a Chamber." Church stated.

"I STILL can't believe this damn Sony Saint was able to pull it off! Granted, I liked him better before then as the Sony Saints weren't even existing then - ah, the good ol' days - but I STILL can't believe he did it to this day! But that was 2006, and this is NOW! And there's no way in hell this abomination of a Blue is going to win! If he does, I will take my shotgun and blow my brains out! Why? Because that as bad as Grif SUCCEEDING! I hope he's the FIRST ONE eliminated!" Sarge stated.

"Despite all of Sly's accomplishments, he has NEVER main-evented Final Clash, and I bet that thief is grinning inside at the thought of changing that fact. Everyone else in that Chamber better be careful, because Sly has shown he is not above using a few dirty tactics to get the win. And with him waiting in a pod and his confidence, he could steal one from you at any time when he's let out." Church stated.

(Hmm-hmmmm

Yeah, yeah

Holy Diver

You've been down too long in the midnight sea

Oh, what's becoming of me?

Ride the tiger

You can see his stripes but you know he's clean

Oh, don't you see what I mean?

Gotta get away

Holy Diver

YEAH!)

("Holy Diver" by Killswitch Engage)

The crowd EXPLODED with thunderous boos at the very start of the song, and who else but Super Mario to come out onto the stage, World Title strapped around his waist and a focused scowl on his face. He completely ignored the booing crowd, eyes solely focused on the Chamber ahead. He looked down at his World Title around his waist, holding it in a contemplative manner before vigorously shaking his head as if in refusal of something, muttering "NO!" before making his way down the ramp. He climbed up the steps and entered the chamber, and then the ring. He looked around it as if scouting it before climbing a corner, unhooking the title around his waist and raising it overhead, shouting "GREATEST CHAMPION EVER!" while glaring at Sly in the pod in front of him. Sly just grinned cheekily at Mario, who growled before dismounting the turnbuckle. He looked at his title before kissing it and handed it to the ref. He then was led to his own pod, then locked shut in it.

"And introducing next, representing the Mushroom Kingdom, from Brooklyn, New York, now residing in the Mushroom Kingdom, weighing in at 235 lbs., he is the reigning, defending UCA World Heavweight Champion, Super Mario!"

"Has the self-proclaimed Greatest Champion Ever entered his own personal demise that he has managed to evade for so long? Mario is the longest-reigning World Heavyweight Champion in UCA history, 389 days as champion clocked in, but his latest scheme to retain the title last month at Royal Reckoning pushed Force over the edge. As a result, Mario has been given the toughest defense his reign has ever faced as punishment. His historic reign started last year inside the Elimination Chamber at Royal Reckoning...will it end inside the very same structure?" Church asked.

"The obvious answer...NO! I love Scourge, but I want Mario to win MORE here! He has held that title longer then anyone when everyone thought he would be taken down like some common Blue trash! But time and time again, he has shown why he IS the Greatest Champion Ever! And I REFUSE to believe that he will lose that gold SO CLOSE to Final Clash! He will NOT lose! He just can't! And I'll be happy to say this every hater when he wins...YOU JUST GOT SARGE'D!" Sarge proclaimed.

"But Sarge, Mario's record of retaining a title inside a Chamber in other companies is ABYSMAL. UWE...CWA...he has FAILED to do it. Add the LOW number of Chamber retentions in UCA, and the one-in-six chance that he has of winning, and Mario's reign is in more jeopardy than EVER! Mario should never be underestimated, he is very tricky, and will do anything it takes...but can even HE overcome all of these odds? Only time will tell." Church said.

With three of four to be in pods revealed, the crowd wondered who it would be...

(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 stood on their feet, and Sonic the Hedgehog came out to the beat of his theme, tape wrapped around his ribs, indicative of his current condition. He glared at the Chamber with a dark look before he took a knee, checked his wrist, then shouted "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!" to even louder cheers before making his way down the ramp and then entered the Chamber. He entered the ring and went to the corner closest to Mario's pod and pointed at Mario, before making a cutthroat gesture, which Mario replied with trash-talking. Sonic then went to the corner nearest Scourge's pod and shouted "I AM GOING TO WIN! I WILL GET MY REVENGE!" Scourge just scoffed and said "You're too hurt, you got no chance" Sonic simply ignored him and repeated the process with Sly, who just chuckled at Sonic. Sonic was then led into his pod and was locked in it, the hog pacing in it, raring to go.

"And the next entrant, from Station Square, weighing in at 210 lbs., "The Blue Blur" Sonic the Hedgehog!"

"Sonic qualified for this Chamber earlier tonight by beating Bowser by...questionable means in a physical No DQ Match in the opening battle of the PPV. Sonic considers that step one of getting payback for what was done to him, step two is winning the title from Mario inside this Chamber. Sonic has had plenty of experience inside the Chamber, being apart of the first UCA Elimination Chamber as the Champion at Survival Games 2002, and even winning a Chamber as mentioned earlier in 2007. But as you can see, Sonic is still bearing wounds from his battle with Bowser. He got two and a half hours of rest before this match, but is he too hurt to win this match?" Church asked.

"Of course he is! Look at him! Does that look like a viable Chamber winner?! No siree, he does NOT! Him winning? What's next? Grif actually becoming competent? If that actually happens, kill me. Sonic is too banged up, and he did not have even close to the amount of rest needed to regain a chance in this! Ladies and gentlemen, meet a guaranteed loser here and now! Line up, and see if you dirty Blues can trade secrets on how to suck so much! Sonic...cross him off the list!" Sarge stated.

"Sonic though has stated last week, and tonight, that he didn't care if he had to go through hell twice, he was going to get vengeance on everything that was done to him. Dude got the luck of the draw with him, so he won't have to start out this match. THAT would have probably destroyed any chance he may still have left. He better hope he'll be one of the later guys released to get as much rest as possible, but can he truly survive hell in his condition? I am not sure...but we now know who the unlucky two to start things are..." Church stated.

The four waited in their pods, knowing that they were safe for the moment. They, along with the crowd, awaited for who would be the first of the two would be out, and...

(Can't you see the writing on the wall?

You're way in over your head

You're gonna drown in the things that you said

Time has come and gone for words

A thousand threats I've heard before

Your words are cheap, but lies are big to take

Time has come and gone for words

A thousand threats I've heard before

And all your words are too big to take)

("No More Words" by EnedverafteR)

The crowd ROARED in thunderous cheers at the sound of the music!

"WHOA!" Church exclaimed.

The crowd was going insane at the sound of the music as Crash Bandicoot came out onto the stage, spinning in an orange twister like crazy, moving around the stage. Suddenly, he then jumped into the air and landed on his feet perfectly, a series of orange pyro exploding at soon as he did. Crash then looked out to the cheering crowd with his signature grin, which this time was laced with insanity and sadisticness. He looked at the Chamber, and gave a loud "WHOOOOOOOOAAAA!" the crowd screaming along with him before he ran down the ramp and entered the Chamber and the ring with no fear. He then went to each corner, staring at the ones in each pod with his insane grin before he stood in the center of the ring, ready for the hell to come as the crowd chanted "CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!"

"And introducing next, from Wumpa Island, Australia, weighing in at 213 lbs., Crash Bandicoot!"

"This crowd has gone absolutely crazy! They are fully behind this insane, risk-taking bandicoot! Crash Bandicoot is the hottest wrestler in UCA right now! You can't find a guy who has more going for him right now in the company than him, and Crash Bandicoot wants to capitalize on all of it and FINALLY win the UCA World Title that has eluded him! He has perhaps the most UCA Chamber experience than anyone else in this match, with three past Chamber appearances! He has yet to win a Chamber in UCA, but is it the night he changes ALL of that?! It could very well be!" Church stated.

"FORGET IT! Crash may be hot right now, he may have his NCW success, he may be back in Animated, and he MAY have won an FWA for Hardcore Match of the Year for that Hardcore Six-Way at the XCW Supershow, but remember...HE'S A CHOKER IN UCA! Every opportunity he's had at the big one, he's failed! Every Chamber Match he's been in, he's come up short! And none of that is changing TONIGHT! He can't win the big match, and guess what? HE'S GOING TO GET MURDERIZED RED-STYLE!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Crash wants to break the glass ceiling bad in UCA! He wants to finally become World Champion in spite of the doubters! He wants to finally win a Chamber Match! He wants to prove to everyone that he can be the top dog here in this company! But in order to pull it all off, he has to survive from the very start, which is EASIER said than done in a Chamber Match! But without a doubt, this environment at least favors Crash. And now...just one left..." Church said.

Crash waited in the ring, body shaking in anticipation as he awaited the man he KNEW was coming out next...and soon...his music played...

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

The crowd cheered like crazy at the familiar game music rang throughout the arena, with the lights turning the recognizable crimson. Then, Red comes out onto the stage, a determined expression on his face. He looks at the Chamber from the stage, before glancing out towards the crowd, then tipped his hat over his eyes and raised a fist into the air. He then shot his eyes up fiercely before making his way down the ramp, eventually reaching the steps to the Chamber. His eyes never left the structure as he took off his signature jacket and hat, handing them to the crew before making his way into the Chamber. He entered the ring, giving each Chamber competitor a strong gaze before making his way to the corner and raising a fist into the air, staring right into the eyes of Mario in his pod before getting off and turning his gaze to Crash.

"And the final entrant, from Pallet Town, Kanto, weighing in at 230 lbs., "Pokémon Master" Red!"

"And the eight-time World Champion has stepped into the Chamber, and he wants to make it nine-time tonight! The man stated that his last goal in Fiction Wrestling is to become a ten-time World Champion, and winning on this night will put him one step closer to that goal. And Red is no stranger to the Chamber. He won UCA's very first back in 2002, but yet has not won a Chamber SINCE THEN. This'll be his third Chamber appearance overall, so can he do what he did all those years ago and reign supreme in Satan's structure?" Church asked.

"Please! Scourge and Mario got this one! Not Red! No one wants to see Matt vs Red! It would stink like hell! Like your damn base does whenever I am around it! Red is a legend, I cannot deny that much, but look...Red just can't do it anymore. Mario has taken his place as the face of UCA - as he rightfully SHOULD - and Red can't hack it anymore. And with Red starting out in the Chamber...his chances...zero just like the chances of Grif being useful. He'll give a good performance or two...but no...no...he's the wrong Red to win." Sarge stated.

"Only you Sarge...well, Red has been having recent problems with his long-time rival, Blue, who has been screwing him over left and right. However, on this night, Red believes the Chamber will keep the obsessed dude out, and I think it will too. And with Blue kept out of it, Red has a strong chance of pulling this off. Starting off the Chamber and winning may be tough, but if anyone can do it, it's the Pokémon Master." Church said.

Red stood in his half of the ring near a corner, shaking his body in readiness. Crash himself crouched down, hands put together, his grin never leaving him. Sly leaned back in his pod, sly smirk on his face at not having to start this off. Sonic in his pod had a dark look on his face, willing to fight through ANYTHING to get his revenge. Scourge had a focused expression on his face as he placed his hands on the pod, knowing what was to come. Mario scowled in his pod, refusing to relinquish what he thought was his. The officials closed the entrance to the chamber, and the ref checked to see if everyone was ready.

"Six men, one Chamber...World Title and Final Clash main event on the line...it begins..." Church said.

And the REF RANG THE BELL!

"...NOW!" Church shouted.

Red and Crash circled each other as soon as the bell rang, and then slowly met each other in a lock-up. Red caught Crash in a Side Headlock and wrenched on the head, and Crash backed up into the ropes then pushed Red into the adjacent ones. Red came back and knocked down Crash with a Standing Shoulder Block. Red the bounced off the ropes once more, and Crash turned onto his stomach and Red leaped over him. Red bounced back to Crash as he stood up and leapfrogged over the Master, and turned around for a Superman Punch, but Red held onto the ropes and did not bounce back to get hit. Crash ran at Red, but Red caught him with a foot to the jaw sending him back. Red went for a clothesline, but Crash ducked it, then Springboard off the ropes to Red...who caught him on his shoulders! Red tried for the Journey through Kanto, but Crash landed on his feet, kicked Red in the gut, and went for the Wumpa Twist! Red pushed Crash away as he spun for it, and Crash turned around and got a Spinning Wheel Kick to the jaw.

"Opening exchange of moves end with Red clocking Crash right in the jaw! And you saw them go for the big moves early! They want to have some time of rest before the next guy enters here! Big advantage there!" Church stated.

"Yeah, but as you saw, no dice there! Too early for any big moves to connect...for the dirty Blues! If it were Scourge or Mario in there, there opponent would already be done and gone! That's how great they are!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Sarge, keep the idiotic ass-kissing away until they AT LEAST enter the match." Church deadpanned.

Red picked up Crash and threw him into a corner, and nailed a series of Forearm Smashes to the face of the bandicoot before whipping him into the adjacent corner. Red ran after him, but Crash caught him with a Back Elbow, stunning him. Crash then jumped onto the middle turnbuckle, and then nailed a Diving Knee to Red's jaw. With Red Dropped, Crash ran the ropes and nailed a Springboard Leg Drop, followed by a cover! 1...2...Red kicks out! Crash picked Red up, but Red suddenly nailed a Jawbreaker that stunned Crash, followed by a Dropkick that sent Crash into the ropes. Red ran at Crash, but the bandicoot Back Dropped Red over the ropes...and Red landed on the steel grating on his feet, avoiding damage. Crash turned around, and got Hotshot across the ropes. With Crash again stunned, Red entered the ring through the ro-FRONT DROPKICK TO RED'S SKULL AS HE WAS BETWEEN THE ROPES! Red was sent back through the ropes and down onto the steel grating.

"Oh damn! What a shot to the skull! Crash managed to quickly recover and damn near kicked Red into next week! And look where Red is! You DON'T want to be outside the ring in this chamber!" Church stated.

"Of course not, it's pain city for anyone that gets outside the ring! There's steel everywhere you go! And Red may be the first to taste the steel!" Sarge exclaimed.

Red held his head as he slowly rose up, and Crash held onto the ropes before leaping onto them as Red stood...

...AND NAILED A SPRINGBOARD HURRICARANA ON RED ONTO THE STEEL GRATING! Red cried out in pure agony as his back collided with the steel!

"Crash with the Springboard Hurricarana, and look at Red! His face tells the whole story right now!" Church stated. "For once, Sarge was damn right!"

"Of course, I was right! How could I not be?! Red is feeling the Chamber's wrath! And I can't help but take great joy out of it!" Sarge said.

Crash stood up and picked up Red, grabbed his head...and threw him face-first into the chain wall! Red staggered back into the ropes, and Crash grabbed him and threw him again into the chain wall! Red fell back into the ropes, and Crash AGAIN threw him into the chain wall face first! Red fell down onto the grating, completely in pain as Crash raised an arm in triumph He then grabbed the ropes, back turned as he waited for Red to get up, then Springboarded back to the Master...

...and Red caught him on his shoulders in Electric Chair! Crash flailed around on his shoulders, punching his head to get off, but Red held onto him, backing up and slamming Crash BACK-FIRST into the chain wall! Crash cried out in pain but Red wans't done as he NAILED AN ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP ON THE STEEL GRATING!

"OH! And Red with the counter! Crash's high-flying bit him there! Back-first into both the chains AND the steel grating! What a nasty drop!" Church stated. "Crash's back has to be in AGONY!"

Crash is practically writhing on the floor in pain and he was picked up by Red and thrown back into the ring. Red then climbed the corner and waited for Crash to stand up...Diving Forearm Smash from Red! Red covers! 1...2...Crash kicks out! Red picked up Crash and nailed several rights to the face of Crash before whipping him into the ropes and catching him with a Hip Toss, then followed by a Jumping Elbow Drop! Red picks up Crash and nailed a Snap Suplex, followed by a quick cover! 1...2...Crash kicks out! Red picked up Crash, but Crash pushed Red into the ropes and tried to catch him on the bounce back with a clothesline but Red ducked it and nailed a Neckbreaker Slam!

"I can accept this. I would choose Red over Crash anyway. So let's go for Crash getting his ass kicked more!" Sarge stated.

Red picked up Crash and locked him in a Hammerlock, positioned himself...spun...

...and Crash ducked the Red Spin and Dropkicked Red in the back, sending him into the middle ropes! He saw Red hanging off them, and Crash grabbed the ropes...

...and slingshot himself over them and nailed a Leg Drop to the back of Red's neck! Red got off the ropes and held his neck in pain, and Crash leaped onto the top turnbuckle...AND DROPPED RED WITH AN OVER CASTLE!

"Crash back in the game, and has Red down and out! That surgically repaired neck of Red is being targeted! Intentionally, don't know!" Church said.

Crash got up and waited for Red to get back up, then hooked him up for an Aftershock, but Red elbowed Crash in the side of the head several times, forcing him to let him go. Red then kicked him in the gut, and went for a DDT, but Crash spun out of it, and nailed a Russian Leg Sweep, followed by a Twisting Leg Drop across the neck! As this all happened, the counter showed up on screen.

"Oh boy...its time for the first man to be released from the pod...this is about to turn into a three-way..." Church said.

"Well...who is it going to be...?" Sarge asked as Crash waited for Red to get back up, then went for the Wumpa Twist

5...

Red pushed Crash into the ropes...

Crash bounced back and he and Red both took each other down with clotheslines...

1...

BUUUZZZ!

The lights went out in the arena, before dim spotlights began circulating between the four pods of the Chamber repeatedly, ominous music playing about for a few seconds, until it finally landed on...

...

...

...MARIO!

"The self-proclaimed Greatest Champion Ever and UCA World Champion is out next, and you know he wants to be the third man to retain the title in the Chamber!" Church stated.

"And he damn sure will, once he gets to work! And with Crash and Red down, he's about to kick some Blue ass!" Sarge stated.

The crowd booed as Mario readied himself as the ref undid the chain and unlocked the pod, allowing Mario out of his pod and he quickly exited it and into the ring. He ran and nailed a recovered Crash with a clothesline, then Red with the same move! He picked up Crash, and nailed a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! He then caught Red with a Spinebuster! He then picked Red up and threw him over the ropes and onto the steel grating, the Pokémon Master writhing in pain as he met steel. He then picked up Crash, but the bandicoot nailed a few rights to the skull before bouncing off the ropes...AND GETTING CLOTHESLINED OVER THEM AND ONTO THE STEEL!

"And Mario took advantage of their conditions and came in like a house of fire! He is now in complete control of this match!" Church stated.

"That's it Mario! Show these two posers what it means to face the Greatest Champion Ever and it should never be done!" Sarge cheered.

Mario exited the ring, picked up Crash, and threw him face-first into the wall! Crash slumped against it, and Mario grabbed Crash's head and began to grind it against he chain wall back and forth with a scowl on his face. After several seconds of this action, he slammed the back of Crash's head against the steel grating. Crash was revealed to have been busted open from what Mario did, and Mario picked up Crash and nailed a few shots to the skull, furthering opening the wound. He then lifted Crash onto his shoulders, but Crash suddenly manage to struggle and landed behind Mario. Mario turned around, and got an Enziguri to the skull! Mario was sent backwards, and in the end leaned against a pod. Crash wiped some blood off his face before running at Mario...

...

...who moved out of the way, and Crash ran face-first into the lexan pod! Crash was dazed on his feet as Mario grabbed him by the waist...AND GAVE HIM A GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE STEEL GRATING!

"FOR THE LOVE OF...CRASH JUST GOT GERMANED ONTO FREAKIN' STEEL! HIS DAMN NECK MAY BE BROKEN!" Church stated.

"IT MAY BE BROKEN?! ...MARIO DO IT AGAIN! IT WAS SO AWESOME, IT MUST BE DONE TWICE!" Sarge shouted.

Crash was folded up like an accordion on the steel grating, and Mario stood up and glared at the booing crowd, and shouted "GREATEST...CHAMPION...EEEEE-"

RED GRABBED MARIO FROM BEHIND IN THE RING AND INVERTED SUPLEXED HIM INTO IT!

"And Mario gloated at the WRONG time! And he gets an Inverted Suplex back into the ring for that!" Church stated.

"HEY! You can't sneak up on the Greatest Champion Ever like that! REF! Disqualify him!" Sarge stated.

"Sarge, there are no DQs, and if there were, that's the stupidest reason to DQ anybody..." Church deadpanned.

Red pinned Mario!

1...

2...

Mario kicks out!

Mario gets back up and gets Forearm Smashes to the face by Red, but after seven, Mario manages a knee to the gut to stop Red and whipped him into the ropes. But Red bounced back with a Discus Clothesline to the Plumber! Mario got to his knees, but began getting Shoot kicks to the chest over and over again, prompting "Yes" chants for each one! After eight kicks, Red bounced off the ropes and nailed a BRUTAL Dropkick to the skull that sent Mario rolling under the rope and onto the steel. Red went to him, picked him up over the ropes, and tried for a Suplex back into the ring...

...but Mario turned it into a Gourdbuster that had Red planted in the ring! Mario shook his head and saw Red in position for something...and smirked as he climbed up the corner.

"Oh man...I think Mario wants a Super Mario Splash!" Church stated.

"YEAH! Red's about to get taken out for GOOD!" Sarge cheered.

Mario reached up top...

...

...AND RED PUSHED HIM OFF AND HE CRASHED ONTO THE STEEL GRATING!

"SON OF A...MARIO CRASHED AND BURNED ON THE DAMN STEEL! LOOK AT HIM WRITHING!" Church exclaimed.

Red panted a tiny bit before exiting the ring and onto the steel and stomped Mario hard, the Plumber's body screaming in pain. Red then picked up Mario, and hooked him up for the Indigo Crusher...

...

...

...he lifted him...

...

...

...and Mario managed to slip out of it and land behind Red! He pushed Red into the chain wall hard, and when he came back and lifted him into a Fireman's Carry! Red struggled in Mario's grip as Mario turned around...

...

...

...CRASH SPRINGBOARD DROPKICKS MARIO! Mario and Red are sent crashing into the chain wall!

"Where the hell Crash did come from?! I thought he was DEAD after that German Suplex! Which would have been great!" Sarge stated.

Red crumpled down to the steel grating as Mario sat against it in pain...CRASH NAILED A RUNNING FACEWASH TO HIM AGAINST THE CHAINS! Crash wiped blood off his face before picking up Mario and throwing him back into the ring. Crash entered the ring as Mario stumbled up to his feet, and he hooked him up...

...

...

...AFTERSHOCK CONNECTS!

"And the Aftershock from Crash! Mario may be losing the World Title here and now!" Church stated.

Crash pinned Mario!

1...

...

2...

...

Mario kicks out!

"Hah! No way the Greatest Champion Ever is the first eliminated! NOT EVER!" Sarge exclaimed.

Crash got to his knees and began raining down flurry of fists to the skull of Mario then picked him up, and nailed a Jumping Knee to the jaw! Mario was stunned and Crash whipped him into the ropes and bent down for a Back Body Drop, but Mario caught him with a Facebreaker Knee Smash! Mario took a breather before scowling down at Crash and picked him up...

...

...

...RED CAUGHT HIM WITH A SUPERKICK! Mario went down as Crash threw a fist at Red, but Red caught the fist, locked in a Hammerlock...AND NAILED THE RED SPIN! Red with the cover!

1...

...

2...

...

Crash kicks out!

"Red nearly gets an elimination off that surprise attack! And the counter is here! We're about to see a new man enter this fray! Who is going to enter this warfare?" Church asked.

5...

1...

BUUUZZZ!

The lights dimmed and a dim spotlight appeared and began circulating between the three pods that had wrestlers in them. This continued for several seconds until it landed on one pod...

...

...

...

...SLY COOPER!

"It's Sly Cooper! One of the only two men to have retained inside an Elimination Chamber! And dark horse status be damned, he wants to steal the title tonight!" Church stated.

"Oh great, this damn Sony Saint is in! He's just as bad as Crash! Someone get him NOW! Make sure he doesn't get a lick of momentum! If he does, the WHOLE WORLD MIGHT IMPLODE!" Sarge exclaimed.

"...You're an idiot." Church deadpanned.

The officials unlocked the pod, and Sly exited his pod, grabbed the ropes...AND NAILED A SPRINGBOARD DISCUS CLOTHESLINE TO RED! Sly got up, and ducked a clothesline from Crash, bounced off the ropes and nailed a Running Knee Smash to him! Sly turned around and CAUGHT MARIO WITH A HIP TOSS NECKBREAKER! Sly stood and looked at the cheering crowd and winked at them before picking up Crash and whipping him into the corner and then running at him, but Crash moved out of the way! Sly crashed into the turnbuckle and backed up, and Crash quickly climbed up it...

...

...

...SLY PUSHED HIS LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM! Crash ended up in the Tree of Woe AND GOT DROPKICKED IN THE FACE BY RED!

"Oh that wasn't how the bandicoot wanted to Crash & Burn there..." Church quipped.

"Nope, but it was how I wanted him to Crash & Burn..." Sarge added.

Red got up and lifted Sly onto his shoulders, but Sly landed behind Red, and nailed a Half-Nelson Bulldog on him! Sly got up...but got a Big Boot to the skull that sent him flying out of the ring! Mario followed Sly onto the steel and picked up the raccoon, shouting in his face "YOU ARE NOT IN MY LEAGUE, THIEF! KNOW THAT!" He then threw Sly into the chain wall...

...

...

...

...BUT SLY LEAPED AT THE CHAINS AND NAILED THE NINJA SPIRE KICK OFF IT!

"WHAT THE...?! NINJA SPIRE KICK OFF THE DAMN CHAIN WALL! SLY'S ATHLETICISM PAYS DIVIDENDS!" Church stated.

"HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT?! NO SNEAKY THIEF SHOULD DO THAT! I BET HE STOLE THE IDEA OF THAT MOVE FROM SOMEONE!" Sarge shouted.

Mario was sent back into the ring due to the impact from the kick, and Sly leaped onto the ropes...

...

...SPRINGBOARD BODY SPLASH! Cover!

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

Mario kicks out!

"And that nearly got Mario out! Mario's title reign is flashing before his eyes!" Church stated.

"Mario do something! You know you are better than these dirtbags!" Sarge stated.

Sly got up, and was immediately met with A SNAP DDT FROM RED! Red with the cover! 1...2...Sly kicks out! Red picked up Sly, but Sly suddenly catches Red with a BEAUTIFUL Dropkick to the jaw! Red was dropped and Sly picked him up, and began nailing Kawada Kicks to the temple of Red before nailing a final that sent Red to an upright position. Sly followed it up with a Jumping Reverse Roundhouse Kick that sent Red into the ropes! Sly then ran at Red, and went for a clothesline...

...

...but Red ducked it, and grabbed Sly in a Full Nelson! He turned them with their backs to the ropes...

...

...

...

...AND RED DRAGON SUPLEX SLY OVER THE ROPES AND ONTO THE STEEL!

"RED JUST DRAGON SUPLEXED SLY ONTO STEEL FLOOR! GOOD GOD, THESE MEN ARE DESTORYING EACH OTHER! IT'S ALREADY A DAMN WAR IN THIS CHAMBER!" Church shouted.

Red panted a bit, leaning against the ropes for a bit before turning around...LEG LARIAT BY CRA-NO! Red caught him on his shoulders and POWERBOMBED HIM! Red backed into the ropes before exiting the ring and climbing the corner...

...

...

...RED WITH THE DIVING ELBOW DROP!

"Red drops the Elbow hard! Is Crash the first to go?!" Church asked.

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

Crash kicks out!

"Aaahhh, that would have made my day. But of course, the Red Almighty must tease me a little." Sarge stated.

Red picked up Crash, but got clotheslined down by Mario. Mario had a scowl on his face before he began stomping the hell out of him. Mario jumped and dropped a knee across the face before he picked Red up, and tried to lock in the Mario Finale! But Red struggled against it, and began nailing several back elbows to the skull of Mario, forcing him to let go! Mario then got an Enziguri to the skull, dropped to his knees! This allowed Red to suddenly perform an OKLAHOMA ROLL! 1...2...Mario kicks out! They both got up and Red caught Mario with a kick to the gut, and then hooked him back-to-back! ...POKE-FL-NO! Mario nailed Red with a few elbows to the side, stunning him. Mario then grabbed him from behind and lifted him for a Back Suplex, but Red flipped out of it and landed behind Mario...

...

...

...AND MARIO LIFTED AN INCOMING CRASH OVER HIM! RED GOT NAILED WITH A LEG LARIAT IN THE PROCESS! Crash quickly got back up AND WAS LIFTED AND SAMOAN DROPPED BY MARIO!

"AND MARIO TAKES BACK CONTROL! Was there ever any doubt this would happen?! It's freakin' Mario!" Sarge asked.

Mario stood up and growled at the two down before going through the ropes to deal with Sl-ROUNDHOUSE TO MARIO AS HE EXITS THE RING! Mario drops down to the steel grating and Sly quickly grabbed the ropes, and nailed an Outer Limitz Elbow on Mario! Sly stood up and posed for the crowd as they cheered for him before he picked up Mario, and placed him in a Inverted Facelock. The crowd popped as he spun for it...

...

...

...but Mario spun out of the Honor Among Thieves and pushed Sly back-first into the chain wall! Sly gritted his teeth as walked back to Mario, AND GOT A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Mario picked up Sly and slammed the back of his head into the chains!

"Oooohhh...Mario may be a cheater, but he's got a mean streak a mile wide and he's showing it here! And...the counter is upon us! New entry! Who is Number Five? Sonic or Scourge?"

5...

1...

BUUUZZZ!

The lights once again dimmed and the spotlight alternated between the two remaining pods for a few seconds, until it landed on one...

...

...

...

...SCOURGE THE HEDGEHOG!

"And it's the self-proclaimed "King of the World"! Ready to try and take back his throne and the World Title!" Church stated.

"Behind Mario, my SECOND favorite to win this match! If Mario is SOMEHOW taken down, SCOURGE ALL THE WAY BABY!" Sarge cheered.

The officials unlocked the pod, and Scourge slid it open...

...

...but he did not exit the pod as instead he saw something, and smirked...crouching down and practically begging for something...

...

...

...

...AS HE EYED MARIO BEATING DOWN SLY NEAR THE POD AHEAD OF HIM!

"Wait, why is Scourge not getting o-OH CRAP! He's got Mario in his sights, and the Plumber's too busy beating on Sly to notice! Scourge has bad intentions for the World Champ!" Church stated.

"THAT POSITON...THAT POSITION...DON'T DO IT SCOURGE! IT CAN BE ON ANYONE ELSE, BUT NOT ON MARIO! PLEASE ON RED HEAVEN NO!" Sarge shouted.

Scourge muttered "Come on...COME ON!" as Mario was stomping a mudhole in Sly with a scowl on his face before he finished up and turned around...

...

...

...

...Scourge ran towards him...

...

...

...

...

...SCOURGE SPEARS MARIO THROUGH THE CHAMBER POD!

"SON OF A BIIIIIIIIIITTTTCCCCHHHH! SCOURGE SPEARED MARIO THROUGH THE POD! SCOURGE JUST SPEARED TO HIM STRAIGHT TO HELL!" Church stated.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE MARIO?! WHHHHHHYYYYYY?! COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN SLY OR CRASH?! THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!" Sarge exclaimed.

"THAT GLASS MAY BE BULLET-PROOF, BUT IT WASN'T SPEAR-PROOF!" Church shouted.

The crowd chanted "Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t!" as Mario was motionless within the pod as the lexan glass was buried around him. Scourge pushed the glass off of him and stood up holding his head and side, smirking greatly at the downed Mario and shouted "I'M THE KING, BABY, AND I AM TAKING BACK MY DAMN THRONE!" He then saw Sly manage to get back up, and grabbed him AND FULL NELSON FACEBUSTER ON THE STEEL! Scourge grinned evilly before getting and entered the ring. he the ran and dropped down to Red, and began nailing him with vicious rights to the skull before standing up and stomping on his face repeatedly before picking him up and nailing a Gutbuster. He then saw Crash coming up and NAILED HIM WITH A BIG BOOT THAT TUNRED HIM INSIDE OUT!

"Scourge is cleaning house! That Spear to Mario has sent Scourge into a frenzy! This hedgehog, no matter how much you hate him, picked his spot and is now benefitting from it!"

"Dammit, I hated what he did to Mario, but him doing this to everyone else gets a thumbs up from me! Like I said, Mario doesn't win, SCOURGE WINS! No ifs, ands, or BUTS about it, dirtbags!" Sarge stated.

Scourge picked up Crash and threw him into the corner and began stomping the hell out of him. Crash took the full force of the stomps and was dropped into a seated position before Scourge backed up, ran, and nailed a Jumping Dropkick to the bandicoot. Scourge smirked at his control before he dragged Crash to his feet, but Crash threw a right. Scourge managed to avoid it and chuckles, mockingly asking Crash to hit. Crash, bloodied and dazed, threw wild fists, each one dodged Scourge, garnering laughter from the arrogant hog. Eventually, Scourge had enough, and kicked Crash in the gut, before locking him in a Front Facelock and smirked to the crowd...

...

...

...and Red suddenly nails an Inverted DDT from behind on Scourge! Scourge rolled away and got up near the ropes...AND RED CLOTHESLINED HIM OUT OF THE RING!

"And Scourge got too cocky for his own damn good! Red takes Scourge out for the moment!" Church stated.

Red was about to go after Scourge...but got a DROPKICK to the back of the head from Crash! Red held the back of his head as he backed up...BACKSTABBER FROM CRASH! Crash covers Red! 1...2...Red kicks out! Crash leaps at the ropes...Springboard Moonsault! NO! Red rolls out of the way, and Crash lands on his feet AND DUCKS A SUPERKICK FROM RED! Red turns around and gets a Stunner from Crash, causing him to stand in a daze! Crash then quickly climbed up a nearby corner...

...

...

...

...CRASH AND BUR-NO! RED MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! Crash landed back first on the mat and writhed in pain before being picked up and lifted onto Red's shoulders...spun off...

...

...

...

...JOURNEY THROUGH KANTO CONNECTS!

"And Crash was sent on a Journey Through Kanto! Red with the cover!"

1...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

Crash kicks out!

"And dammit, that bandicoot survived! I swear I should ju-Hey, what is that?" Sarge asked.

As all of this was going on...behind Red, a square piece of the steel grating outside the ring popped out of place, leaving a hole in the grating, confusing everybody...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND OUT CAME BLUE OAK!

"BLUE?! WHAT?! HOW IN THE HELL DID HE...?! TTHAT OBSESSED BASTARD IS IN THE CHAMBER SOMEHOW!" Church called.

"HE DID MANAGE TO GET IN, AND RED HAS NO CLUE! AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN NEXT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Blue grabbed the square piece of steel grating and entered the ring as Red picked up Crash...AND SLAMMED THE STEEL INTO THE BACK OF RED! Red cried out in pain as he let go of Crash and fell to his knees in pain. Blue stood in front of Red as the Master looked up to him, his eyes widening in shock. Blue shouted "FEEL ALL THE PAIN AND EMBARASSMENT I HAVE EVER FELT, BASTARD!"...

...

...

...BLUE SLAMS THE STEEL ACROSS RED'S SKULL!

"AND THE SQUARE STEEL GRATING OFF THE SKULL! BLUE HAS KO'ED RED, BUT I DON'T THINK HE'S DONE!" Church exclaimed.

Blue threw the square piece of steel grating down into the center of the ring, and glared with pure hate at the downed Red. He grabbed Red by the hair and dragged him up by it, followed by getting into Red's face and snarling with pure loathing, muttering "Seventeen years...seventeen years...this...is all because of you..." Blue then kicked Red in the gut, followed by hooking the arms...

...

...

...

...

...SHELL SHOCK DDT ON THE SQUARE PIECE OF STEEL GRATING!

"SHELL SHOCK DDT ON THE STEEL! RED IS OUT! HE THOUGHT THE CHAMBER WOULD KEEP BLUE OUT, BUT THE DAMN OAK FOUND A WAY IN! RED HAS BEEN LAID OUT BY HIS DAMN RIVAL!" Church shouted.

"THERE ARE NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! IT'S ALL LEGAL! BLUE KEPT HIS VOW! BLUE KEPT HIS DAMN VOW!" Sarge shouted.

Red was laid out as the crowd booed mercilessly, chanting "BLUE SUCKS! BLUE SUCKS!" as Blue stood over the fallen Red before looking out to the chanting crowd and shouted "SHUT UP! YOU ALL ARE PART OF THE REASON I AM LIKE THIS! AND THIS IS THE RESULT! DEAL WITH IT!" The crowd booed louder as Blue scowled, as other refs entered the Chamber and tried to get Blue to leave the Chamber, saying he was not in the match. With his reason being there done, Blue turned away from Red, exited the ring, and slowly exited the Chamber. The ref for the Chamber shook his head before grabbing the square piece of steel grating and tried to place it back where it once was...

...

...

...as Scourge crawled back into the ring and saw Red.

"And Blue finally being led out of the damn Chamber, the ref is pu-Waitwaitwaitwaitwait...Scourge?! ...Uh-oh..." Church said.

"That's riiiiighhhtt...Just because Blue interfered doesn't mean the match was stooopppeed...the dirtbag is down and out in the ring..." Sarge sang out.

"And Scourge...he knows Red is down...that opportunist has got Red in his sights..." Church muttered.

Scourge eyed Red's prone position...and an evil smirk grew on his face as he jumped over to where Red was and pinned, tightly hooking the leg as he called for the ref who finished putting the grating back in place!

"SCOURGE! SCOURGE! He's got Red pinned! And Red just got nailed with a Shell Shock DDT on steel! Is this actually...?!" Church questioned.

"Red..." Sarge began.

1...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

3!

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

"Red is eliminated! Red is the first eliminated!" Church exclaimed.

The crowd booed loudly as Scourge let go of Red sitting on the mat with a GIANT smirk on his face as Red was laid out and began to get rolled out of the ring by officials, and he was helped up and led out of the chamber as he was in a daze. Blue watched this from on the stage with a sick snarl on his face before exiting backstage. Scourge slowly stood up and held his hands up in rock horns, shouting "ALL HAIL THE KING, BABY!"

"I don't think ANY of us saw this coming! Blue dropped Red on his head, and Scourge, ever the opportunist, took advantage! Against all odds, RED is the FIRST eliminated!" Church stated.

"Blue wanted to make sure Red was humiliated, and what better way than MAKING SURE he was the first eliminated?! It's genius! Good job Blue! Good job Scourge! You make Redkind everywhere PROUD!" Sarge cheered.

Scourge chuckled before turning around...AND GOT TAKEN DOWN BY MOONSAULT FROM SLY COOPER!

"WHOA! WHERE THE HELL DID SLY COOPER COME FROM?!" Church questioned.

Sly stood up and his face was a CRIMSON MASK from the Full Nelson Facebuster on steel earlier, and Scourge got up and got a STIFF right that sent him in the ropes. Sly grabbed him and whipped him, but Scourge reversed and whipped him into the ropes instead. Sly bounced back, and ducked the Big Boot! He leaped at the ropes and nailed a Springboard Crossbody on Scourge! Sly rolled onto his feet and waited for Scourge to get to his knees, and NAILED A SHINING WIZARD! Cover off that!

"Sly with the Shining Wizard! COVER!" Church called.

1...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

Scourge kicks out!

"Nope, the King is not losing THAT easily! And if you thought otherwise, then you are such an idiot dirtbag." Sarge stated.

Sly stood up, and ducked a Spinning Wheel Kick from Crash! Crash got up and got hit with a Snap STO by Sly! Sly then exited the ring and onto the steel, grasped the ropes...Tope Atomico onto Crash! Sly with the cover on Crash! 1...2...Crash kicks out! Sly backed up and waited for Crash to stand...Crash slowly stood...Sly leaped at the ropes...NINJA SPIRE KICK! ...DUCKED! Sly landed on his feet and turned around...INTO A CRASH AND BURN OUT OF NOWHERE! Crash covered Sly! 1...2...

...SLY KICKS OUT! Crash picked up Sly and placed him a Front Headlock. He held an arm out...

...

...SCOURGE WITH THE SCOURGE-O-MATIC ON CRASH FROM BEHIND! Crash held the back of his head as Scourge got up, and ducked an incoming Ninja Spire Kick from Sly! Sly turned around...AND GOT FLAPJACKED ONTO CRASH!

"Scourge takes down both Sly and Crash! And...the counter is back, we are down to the last guy, and...wait, Scourge is exiting the ring...and facing Sonic's pod!" Church exclaimed.

"HAH! Smart! Scourge noticed the counter and KNEW Sonic was the last one entering! So he's going to get Sonic the moment he's out! The wounded Bluehog got lucky being the last to enter, but he's about to get SPEARED to hell!" Sarge exclaimed.

5...

Scourge grinned evilly at Sonic, ready to pounce the moment he's released...

4...

Sonic narrowed his eyes at Scourge, refusing to be done in...

3...

Scourge waited on the steel grating, getting antsy...

2...

Sonic readied himself...

1...

BUUUZZZ!

The lights dimmed and the spotlight returned, and did it's normal circulating around pods, though it was simply a formality at this point. Eventually, it stopped at SONIC THE HEDGEHOG's pod! And the refs unlocked the chain and slid open the pod door, and Scourge ran at Sonic full speed!

"HERE COMES SCOURGE!" Church stated.

...

...

...

...SONID DUCKED SCOURGE'S CLOTHESLINE! Scourge stumbled into Pod as a result and turned around INTO A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Scourge was dazed and leaned against the chain wall in front of the pod door. Sonic proceeded to rain down a flurry of fists on Scourge's skull, slowly sinking him to a lower position against the chain wall. After fifteen fists to the skull, Sonic grabbed the pod door...

...

...

...

...AND SLID IT INTO SCOURGE! Scourge cried out in pain as Sonic slid it away from Scourge...AND SLID HARD INTO SCOURGE AGAIN! Sonic slid it away...then slid it back into him again! Sonic repeated this action OVER AND OVER AGAIN LIKE A CRAZED MAN!

"GOOD F*CKIN' GOD! SONIC IS GOING CRAZY HERE! SCOURGE IS GETTING DESTROYED BY THAT POD DOOR!" Church stated.

"YOU DAMN DIRTBAG! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS! THIS IS RED ASSAULT! I SHOULD HAVE YOU ARRESTED!" Sarge exclaimed.

After doing this nine times, Sonic ceased, leaving Scourge lying down in the pod in agony. Sonic then entered the ring and ran at the two in the ring. He grabbed Sly and threw him over the top and caused him to land on the steel back-first hard! Sonic saw Crash leaning against the corner and ran at him...

...

...

...DASH ATTACK CONNECTS! Crash stumbled out of the corner as Sonic bounced off the ropes to him and Spinning Heel Kick! ...Ducked! Sonic turned around and AFTERSHO-NO! Sonic turned it into a Shoulder Jawbreaker, stunning the bandicoot! Sonic kipped up and ROUNDHOUSED CRASH OUT OF THE RING!

"Goddamn Sonic is on fire! He's kicking some serious ass, wounds be damned! I think he can actually do this!" Church stated.

Sonic had a dark look on his face as he shouted "I AM GETTING MY VENGEANCE TONIGHT! DARE TO STOP ME!" Sonic then turned around...

...

...

...AND INTO A SPINNING SPINEBUSTER FROM MARIO!

"AND MARIO IS BACK! What a display by the greatest Red of all! I mean, he's back up after getting Speared through lexan glass! How great can you be?!" Sarge asked.

"And Mario planted Sonic with that Spinebuster! And the injuries he has probably make it worse!" Church stated.

Sonic writhed in great agony while a now BLEEDING Mario held his body, still aching and bruising from the Spear earlier. He stood up, and then began stomping out Sonic with a furious scowl on his face as the crowd booed him. Mario then picked up Sonic and whipped him HARD into the corner, causing Sonic to arch his back, but then got a BRUTAL Corner Clothesline! Mario then pulled Sonic into a Tilt-A-Whirl Powerslam! Sonic's body was practically screaming in agony as Mario picked him up by his quills and began kneeing him in the skull repeatedly, then lifted him Oklahoma-style. He then dropped Sonic across the knee...

...

...

...FOLLOWED BY FALLWAY SLAMMING HIM OVER THE ROPES AND ONTO THE STEEL!

"MARIO JUST FLUNG SONIC ONTO THE DAMN STEEL! THE AGONY...!" Church shouted.

"HAHAHAHAHA! What was that about going through hell twice?! Stupid hedgehog...regretting ever entering this now, huh?" Sarge asked.

Sonic was screaming in pain as he flailed around on the steel, the bloody Mario smirking darkly as the crowd chanted "YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!" and the plumber raised a fist as the crowd chanted, shouting "GREATEST...CHAMPION...EV-

NINJA SPIRE KICK FROM SLY TO MARIO!

"WHAT?! NINJA SPIRE KICK?!" Sarge exclaimed.

"MARIO TALKED TOO LONG, AND FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT, HE PAID THE PRICE FOR IT!" Church shouted.

Sly made the cover on Mario!

Mario kicks out!

"Mario keeps his reign alive...for now!" Church stated.

Sly groaned in frustration as he picked up Mario, but Mario pushed him into the ropes, and caught him on the bounce back in a Fireman's Carry. Sly struggled in his grip and landed behind Mario! The plumber turned around, got a kick to the gut, and was planted with a Sitout Gourdbuster! Mario as down as Sly goes to a corner, leaps up top...MOONSAULT TO MARIO! Sly covers! 1...2...

...

...MARIO KICKS OUT! Sly stood up AND INTO A BIG BOOT FROM SCOURGE! Scourge held his torso with a scowl before grabbing Sly's leg and trying for Scourgacator! Sly however managed to kick Scourge into the ropes, and he bounced back into SMALL PACKAGE!

"SMALL PACKAGE! SMALL PACKAGE!" Church called.

SCOURGE KICKS OUT!

"Too close! That would have been SO bad!" Sarge sighed in relief.

Both men scrambled to their feet and Scourge caught a clothesline and planted Sly with a Half-Nelson Bulldog! Scourge scowled before he stood up and stomped on Sly's gut forcing him to sit up, bounced off the ropes, and jacked his jaw with a Boot! Scourge then picked up Sly and whipped him into the ropes, and went for a Back Body Drop! Sly stopped in front of him, dropped down, and nailed his jaw with a BIG Uppercut! Scourge held his jaw in a daze, Sly got up and went for a kick, but Scourge caught! He spun Sly around, kicked him in the gut, and placed him in a Front Facelock...

...

...

...

...LOW BLOW KICK BY SLY!

"OOOOHHH! RIGHT TO THE KIWIS! Scourge just got a taste of his OWN medicine!" Church called.

"Damn that sneaky thief! I ought to go up there and thrash for damaging the royal jewels of a king! It's my right!" Sarge stated.

The crowd went "Oooohhhh" as Scourge let go of Sly and dropped to the mat, holding his lower regions in pain. Sly chuckled and said "Hey, I'm a thief. It's what I do." He then picked up Scourge, and placed him in an Inverted Facelock...winked...

...

...spun...

...

...

...

...AND SCOURGE SPUN OUT OF IT AND NAILED A JUMPING CUTTER!

"HUH?! OUT OF NOWHERE! SCOURGE WITH THE JUMPING CUTTER?! ...AND I THINK...I THINK THAT WAS A SHOUTOUT TO A PAL OF HIS!" Church called.

"GLORY TO THE RED HIGHEST! SCOURGE HAS SAVED HIMSELF!" Sarge shouted.

Scourge rolled over to a corner, holding his manhood still and pulling himself up with the ropes, having reacted with the Cutter on instinct. He glared down at SLy who trying to recover. He then slowly crouched down, chanting "Spear...Spear...Spear..." as Sly slowly pushed himself off the mat. Sly stood...

...

...

...

...

...SCOURGE NEARLY TEARS HIM IN HALF WITH A SPEAR!

"And a VICIOUS Spear by Scourge! Son of a bitch, I have rarely seen one that vicious from him!" Church stated.

"And with that said, Sly Cooper..." Sarge began.

Scourge hooks the leg!

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

3!

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

"And there goes Sly! Scourge's second elimination of the match!" Church called.

The crowd booed loudly as Scourge pushed Sly away and Sly was rolled out of the ring officials and soon led out of the Chamber. Scourge got up and stood up, stared at the crowd, and slowly raised his hands in rock horns as the crowd chanted "YOU'RE NO KING! YOU'RE NO KING!" Scourge ignored them as Scourge went over to the ropes and reached over to pick up Crash outside. He hooked him up, and Suplexed him into the ring...

...

...NO! Crash broke free and nailed an Enziguri to Scourge'! Scourge was sent away from the ropes as the bloodied Crash grab the ropes, leaped at the ropes...

...

...SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT! Crash with the cover! 1...2...SCOURGE KICKS OUT!

"And Scourge survives the Tornado DDT, but Crash seems to be back in the game! Crash wants that World Title bad! Crash will go to any lengths to get it!" Church stated.

Crash picks up Scourge and nails several fists to the skull before throwing a kick. Scourge caught it, but got a Mule Kick instead from Crash! Scourge was sent into the corner and dropped to a seated position. Crash then ran at the corner and nailed a Rope-Aided Corner Dropkick! Crash pulled Scourge, placed him in a Front Facelock and went for the Wumpa Twist! NO! Scourge pushed him away...

...

...and Crash leapfrogged over an incoming Mario who Clotheslined down Scourge instead! Mario was shocked and turned around into an Inverted Atomic Drop! Mario grimaced in pain as Crash Springboarded off the ropes and nailed a Springboard Clothesline! Crash covers Mario! 1...2...Mario kicks out! Crash stood up and saw Sonic on the steel grating, and got an idea. He bounced off the ropes and ran towards Sonic...

...

...

...OVER-THE-TOP ROPE SOMERSAULT SENTON...THAT SONIC ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY OF!

"Ooooohhhh! That's one high-risk maneuver that did NOT pay off for Crash! Landed on the steel!" Church winced.

"And that shows why he SHOULDN'T be World Champ! Stupid bandicoot..." Sarge stated.

Crash arched his back in pain as Sonic rolled back into the ring. He pulled himself up to his feet with the ropes, holding his taped ribs with his hand as he did so. Once up, he saw Scourge trying to get up, and it was an opening. Sonic ran at him...

...

...

...

...HOMING ATTACK!

...REVERSED INTO A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB BY SCOURGE!

"OH! That Homing Attack sure didn't Home in on that one!" Church quipped.

"And Sonic..." Sarge began.

...

...

...

...

SONIC KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...AH! Dammit...why don't you just get pinned?! You can't win this!" Sarge stated.

Scourge was slightly ticked off by the kickout and stood up and backed into a corner and crouched down into a corner. He urged Sonic to get up and chanted "Spear...Spear..." once more. Sonic held his body, slowly, and painfull getting up to his feet. Scourge slightly smirked as Sonic stood to his feet and turned...

...

...

...Scourge ran...

...

...

...

...SONIC CAUGHT HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE SKULL! Scourge stood completely motionless, and his head was grabbed by Sonic...STANDING SHIRANUI!

"Sonic! Sonic with the surprise Shiranui! The pin!" Church called.

...

SCOURGE KICKS OUT!

"HAH! As if that would take down the King of the World! Come on hedgehog, do better! You are fighting the best of Reds after all!" Sarge stated.

Sonic shook his head as he stood up, holding his body as he waited for Scourge to get to his knees...and began delivering Shoot Kicks to the body! To the chest, to the arm, to the leg, to everywhere! Scourge managed to get to his feet while still getting the rapid Shoot Kicks! Scourge threw a right, but Sonic ducked and ROUNDHOUSE TO SKULL! Scourge was dropped and Sonic covered! 1...2...SCOURGE KICKS OUT! Sonic slammed a fist in frustration before getting up and backed up, waiting for Scourge to get up, and when he did...Sonic ran...

...

...

...AND GOT HIS BODY FLAPJACKED ACROSS THE ROPES! Sonic fell in the ring gritting his teeth in pain, holding his ribs in pure pain! Scourge ran his hands through his quills, and waited for Sonic to get to his feet. Sonic pulled himself up and Scourge ran...

...

...

...Sonic Drop Toe Holds Scourge between the ropes! Sonic gets a burst of adrenaline as he bounces of the ropes...TIGER FEINT KICK TO SCOURGE!

"And there's a Tiger Feint Kick! Sonic just dialed 619 everyone and it went through!" Church exclaimed.

"NO! Bad call! Bad call!" Sarge stated.

Sonic lied on the steel grating outside the ring, holding his aching body before managing to pull himself up with the ropes. He grasped them, waiting for Scourge to stand. He fought through the pain, leaped on the ropes...

...

...

...SPRINGBOARD HU-NO! Scourge caught him by the legs and Sonic dropped HARD in the middle of the ring! Sonic cried out in pain but Scourge tied his legs around his own...

...

...

...

...

...SCOURGACATOR LOCKED IN!

"SCOURGACTOR! SCOURGACTOR! Scourge has got it locked in! And with Sonic's condition, it's GOT to be a matter of time!" Church stated.

"Yeah! Break that hog in half, Scourge! BREAK HIM IN HALF!" Scourge cheered.

Sonic cried out in absolute pain as Scourge shouted "TAP, FAKER! TAP!" as he wrenched on the hold! Sonic gritted his teeth as unimaginable pain shot through his body, but he REFUSED to quit! He saw the ropes, and with all his might, he tried to crawl towards the ropes. Scourge was surprised by this show of will, and wrenched on the hold even MORE! Sonic cried out, actually BITING his OWN finger, trying to keep himself from tapping out! Sonic then crawled closer to the ropes...

...

...

...he reached out to the ropes with all his strength...

...

...

...

...

...

...SCOURGE PULLED HIM BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!

"SCOURGE PULLED HIM AWAY! SONIC'S LAST CHANCE HAS VANISHED LIKE THAT!" Church called.

"NOWHERE FOR YOU TO GO, DIRTY BLUE! NOW TAP!" Sarge demanded.

Sonic cried out in pure agony as Scourge reasserted the pressure, realizing that he could no longer get to the ropes. Scourge pulled on the legs as hard as he could...

...

...

...

...

...MARIO LOCKS IN THE MARIO FINALE ON SCOURGE FROM BEHIND!

"WHAT?! MARIO FINALE ON SCOURGE?! BUT WHY?!" Sarge asked.

"I think Mario caught sight of Scourge and did the first thing that came to mind! Lock in the Mario Finale! He didn't notice Sonic and now Scourge is the ONE in a submission!" Church stated.

Scourge's submission was let go as Scourge flailed around in the Mario Finale, the Cobra Clutch being tightened every damn second! Scourge tried to pull the arms off of him, but Mario's grip was too tight! Mario pulled on the hold EVEN MORE...

...

...

...SCOURGE WITH A LOW BLOW BACK KICK! Mario let go of the hold and held his lower regions...ALLOWING SCOURGE TO NAIL THE RAGING SCOURGE!

"Low blow to Mario! Followed by the Raging Scourge! And Scourge covers Mario!" Church stated.

"OH NO! Why must this pin occur?! I am split!" Sarge exclaimed.

...

...

MARIO KICKS OUT!

"And Mario survives! But that was too close for comfort! This match in INSANE!" Church stated.

"These men want the World Title, and it truly is hell on ea-Hey...What the hell?!" Sarge exclaimed as he saw something.

The camera turned to a side of the Chamber...

...

...

...

...as the crowd cheered as Crash had jumped from the top of a corner and climbed to the top of a pod!

"Wait a damn minute, how the hell did that bandicoot climbed up there?! He was down on the steel!" Sarge stated.

"He must have done it during all the submission commotion in the ring! He took advantage of them being occupied! And when Crash is up high, you NEVER know what will happen! What will Crash do?!" Church asked.

Crash stood tall on the top of the Pod, and got a grasped at chain roof his head was nearly touching. His hand got a good grip on it, and once he realized something, he nodded at it, grabbed the chain roof with both hands...

...

...

...AND BEGAN SWINGING UP THE CHAIN ROOF AS IF IT WERE MONKEY BARS! THE CROWD GASPED IN SHOCK!

"Are...are...ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?! The arm strength...the will...the craziness of this stunt...Crash Bandicoot is swinging from above as if the roof were monkey bars! This CRAZY-ASS BANDICOOT IS ACTUALLY DOING THIS!" Church exclaimed.

"HOW IN THE...WHAT IN THE...WHO IN THE...THE RED IN THE...THIS CAN'T BE! WHAT IN RED SAM HELL IS GOING ON?!" Sarge questioned.

As Crash swung across the chain roof above, Scourge was slowly pushing himself to his feet, completely exhausted from what he has had to go through so far. After wiping some sweat off his face, he was about to go for Sonic when he noticed the crowd was cheering louder than usual. Scourge narrowed his eyes at this, knowing there was nothing for them to cheer about right now, unknowing of CRASH RIGHT ABOVE HIM! Crash hung from the chain roof as Scourge looked around trying to find what was causing the cheers. He then felt something above him...

...

...

...

...looked up...

...

...

...

...

...CRASH LET GO AND NAILED A LEG DROP ON SCORUGE FROM THE CHAIN ROOF!

"OOOOOOHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD! CRASH JUST DROPPED HIS FREAKIN' LEG ON SCOURGE ALL THE WAY FROM THE DAMN CHAIN ROOF! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CRASH F*CKIN' BANDICOOT HAS DONE THE CRAZIEST THING POSSIBLE AGAIN!" Church exclaimed.

"YOU DAMN RED BASTARD! YOU GODDAMN BANDICOOT! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY DID THAT! DOES HE HAVE NO BRAINS WHATSOEVER?! HE NEARLY KILLED HIMSELF AND THE KING! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?!" Sarge shouted.

The crowd was going absolutely INSANE at the move, chanting "HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!" louder than the previous time they did so. Scourge was laid out, absolutely motionless in the ring, as Crash held his tailbone and leg in great pain on the mat at doing the move. Though Crash managed to roll himself...

...

...and drape an arm over Scourge!

"Crash with a pin! And it's GOT to be academic!" Church said.

1...

...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

...

3!

"And Scourge is GONE! No World Title or Final Clash main event for the King of the World!" Church proclaimed.

"Oh damn this bullshit! The King can't be out! He just can't!" Sarge stated.

"He just did Sarge! Scourge will have to find ANOTHER time to reclaim his throne because it ain't TONIGHT!" Church replied.

The crowd exploded in cheers chanting "CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!" as Crash rolled off Scourge and he was rolled out of the ring, pulled out of the Chamber and helped to the back. Crash lied in the ring for a bit before slowly sitting up...

...

...

...MARIO SUDDENLY ROLLS ONTO CRASH'S BODY! He holds onto it as he rolls into a sit-up position...

...

...

...AND SLOWLY STANDS UP WITH CRASH ON HIS SHOULDERS! NINTENDOZER CONNECTS!

"WHAT THE...?! HOW IN THE HELL...?!" Church questioned in disbelief.

"HAHAHAHA! MARIO'S GREATNESS AT DISPLAY! NINTENDOZER! And Crash..." Sarge began.

Mario pins Crash!

CRASH KICKS OUT!

"You Just Got...OH DAMMIT! How in the hell did this bandicoot kick out?!" Sarge asked.

"It has to be his dream! His dream to be the UCA World Heavyweight Champion! And Crash has always been one tough anthro!" Church stated.

Mario was livid at the kick out, asking if it wasn't three, and the ref ensured it was just two. Infuriated, Mario began raining down fists on the skull of Crash, unrelenting in his assault. After eight fists, he then began doing headbutts to the skull, bloody head to bloody head! Mario was relentless, and after seven headbutts, he stood up and dragged Crash to a nearby corner. He climbed the corner and stood tall on it, looked out to the booing coward, and shouted "GREATEST...CHAMPION...EEEVVVEEERRR!"

...

...

...Mario then dived off...

...

...

...

...CRASH GOT THE KNEES UP! Mario's eyes widened as he bounced off them and rolled away, holding his gut in pain! He pulled himself to his feet just as Crash stood...AND CRASH DROPKICKED HIM OUT OF THE RING!

"Crash still has life left in him! Crash is fighting with all his heart!" Church stated.

"Dammit, just stay down!" Sarge stated.

Crash grasped the ropes as Mario stumbled up to his feet...SPRINGBOARD FRONT DROPKICK TO MARIO'S BACK! Mario is sent HARD face-first into the chain wall and slumps it against it, the wound on his face now opened ever worse. Crash held his back, having landed on the steel to perform that move. Crash then stood up and picked up Mario and slammed him once more into the chain wall, and took hold of him. He nailed a STIFF Forearm Smash before turning to one of the turnbuckle corners...

...

...climbed it with his back turned to Mario...

...

...

...Mario suddenly grabbed him in a Powerbomb position as he reached the top! Mario walked forward with Crash on his shoulders, and Crash tried punching Mario's face to get him to let go! But Mario held on and ran...

...

...

...

...

...AS HE POWERBOMBED CRASH THROUGH THE LEXAN POD!

"SON OF A...CRASH JUST GOT POWERBOMBED THROUGH THE POD! WHAT THESE MEN ARE GOING THROUGH...IT'S UNREAL!" Church stated.

"THE BANDICOOT IS DONE FOR! HE HAS TO BE! STICK A FORK IN CRASH, HE IS DEAD!" Sarge stated.

The crowd went "Ooooohhh" as Crash went through the pod and lied among the lexan glass rubble as Mario fell down onto the steel grating trying to recover. After a few moments of recovering, Mario managed to pull himself to his feet and went over to Crash and pulled him out of the pod and lexan. He dragged him up and threw him into the ring, then entered the ring and pinned him, hooking a leg.

"Crash Bandicoot..." Sarge began.

CRASH KICKS OUT AT 2.999!

"You Just Got...WHAT IN THE HELL?! JUST STAY DOWN! STAY DOWN YOU DAMN BANDICOOT! STOP DENYING THE REDS!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Crash somehow survives...that damn Crash Bandicoot just won't quit...how the hell he kicked out after what he went through, I don't know." Church stated.

Mario's bloody face told the WHOLE story. It was LIVID...PISSED...and FRUSTRATED...he slammed the mat repeatedly before getting to his feet...

...

...

...

...

...

...HOMING ATTACK FROM SONIC!

"WHAT?! SONIC! WE FORGOT ABOUT SONIC! HE JUST DRILLED MARIO WITH THE HOMING ATTACK!" Church exclaimed.

"HUH?! WAIT, THAT DOESN'T COUNT! THAT DOESN'T COUNT!" Sarge shouted.

Sonic covered Mario!

MARIO KICKS OUT AT 2.999!

"YES! Oh God...that was TOO CLOSE...don't scare me Mario." Sarge sighed in relief.

"Mario survives, but the Champ nearly bit the dust there! Sonic took advantage of the eye being taken off of him!" Church said.

Sonic groaned in frustration before managing to stand up slowly, holding his body that was still hurting. As he was bent over, he saw Crash slowly rising up...AND ROUNDHOUSE KICKED HIM IN THE SKULL! Sonic took a knee and panted heavily, then glanced at Crash before grabbing him by the hair and pulled him up. He dragged him to the corner and threw him into it. He then grabbed the head and began to knee it repeatedly, each one more vicious then the other. Sonic had a dark look as this happened and after nine knees, Sonic let go and backed up into the adjacent corner as Crash slumped in his. Sonic took a deep breath before running...

...

...

"It may be Dash Attack time!" Church called.

...

...

...Crash moved out of the way! Sonic's knees hit the corner and he crashed within the ring HARD!

"Dash Attack did NOT compute! Dash Attack did NOT compute! Sonic is the one who crashes and burns!" Church stated.

"Sad that Crash didn't get hit, but happy Sonic got hurt...so am I mixed here." Sarge stated.

Sonic cried out in great pain as Crash took a knee. Sonic grabbed the ropes and pulled himself to his feet as Crash turned around. Sonic turned to him, and Crash kicked him in the gut, and grabbed the head...

...

...

...spun...

...

...

...

...and Sonic pushed him away in time! Crash stopped himself and got grabbed in an Inverted Facelock, but broke free and hooked Sonic up for the Aftershock...NO! Sonic elbowed Crash a few times and got himself free...Crash turned back to Sonic, and GOT LIFTED ONTO HIS SHOULDERS...

..

...

...Crash got off Sonic's shoulders! Sonic turned around AND DUCKED AN ENZIGURI FROM CRASH! Crash landed on the mat stomach-first and stumbled to his feet, and Sonic lifted him onto his shoulders...flipped him off...

...

...

...

...

...CRASH TWISTED AND LANDED ON HIS FEET! Sonic was stunned but got kicked in the gut...

...

...

...AND PLANTED WITH THE WUMPA TWIST!

"WUMPA TWIST! WUMPA TWIST! SONIC GOT PLANTED! SONIC'S DOWN!" Church stated.

Crash stood up and went for a pin...

...

...BUT CAUGHT AN INCOMING RIGHT FROM MARIO! He pushed the arm away and kicked Mario in the gut! He grabbed the head, spun...

...

...

...

...AND MARIO SPUN OUT OF IT AND LOW BLOWED HIM! The crowd booed LOUD at this!

"AH A DAMN LOW BLOW! Mario just low blowed Crash out of nowhere! How low can you get?!" Church questioned.

"No Disqualifications, dirtbag! It's ALL legal, so NO ONE can whine about this! Crash had that coming to him anyway." Sarge stated.

"HOW?!" Church asked.

Crash held his lower regions in pain...BUT THEN GOT ROLLED UP IN A SCHOOL BOY!

1...

...

...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

...

...

3!

"AH DAMMIT, CRASH IS GONE THANKS TO THE LOW BLOW AND SCHOOL BOY!" Church shouted.

"YES! One for the GCE - Greatest Champion Ever!" Sarge exclaimed.

The crowd was LIVID with that particular elimination, booing loud and chanting "BULLSH*T! BULLSH*T!" as Crash was rolled out of the ring and led out of the Chamber. Mario stood up and smirked greatly at his deed, spreading his arms out and soaked in all the hatred being poured on him.

"This crowd is P*SSED! They wanted to see a Crash victory SO BADLY, but Mario made sure it didn't happen with a well-timed low blow! Crash could NOT complete his dream of winning the World Title tonight, and no-...Oh no...Oh no no no no no...the last two remaining...are..." Church stated.

"That's right, dirtbag...MARIO...and a WOUNDED SONIC...oh this is going to be GOOD..." Sarge chuckled evilly.

Mario then turned around...and saw SONIC lying near the ropes, holding his body in pain. Mario then gained an EVIL grin on his face...as he ran towards Sonic and dropped down, raining down furious fists on the skull of Mario! The fists would not stop raining down, and eventually, after fifteen shots, Sonic was BUSTED OPEN, and after twenty, Mario stopped and began raining down stomps on Sonic's body. And when done with that, he grabbed the tape around his ribs and began tearing them apart.

"That Mario is like a shark that smells blood in the water. He knows Sonic's condition and he's even tearing apart the medical tape! He is zeroing bad on Sonic!" Church stated.

"Only a matter of time people...so just sit back and watch the show...if you hate it, learn to love it." Sarge stated, kicking back in his chair.

Mario picked up Sonic and nailed an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex that caused major damage to Sonic, followed by running the ropes and nailing a Senton on the hedgehog! Mario stood and walked around the ring with a hearty laugh before jumping and nailing a Double Foot Stomp on Sonic's ribs! Sonic held his ribs in massive pain as Mario picked him up and threw him into a corner and began ramming his shoulder into Sonic's gut several times hard. After six Rams, Mario stopped and chuckled at Sonic's condition, mocking the hedgehog...

...until Sonic managed to get a right on Mario! Sonic then threw a few more rights, trying to fight back despite the pain, but Mario kicked him in the gut...then nailed a Gutbuster, causing Sonic excruciating pain! Mario then grabbed Sonic by the quills, dragged him up...

...and threw him over the ropes and onto the steel grating!

"Mario's just toying with Sonic right now...he KNOWS this match is his, that he's guaranteed victory, so he's just having fun picking apart Sonic. Damn bastard." Church stated.

"Hey, the hedgehog has always been a thorn in his side. Why not get some payback before taking your historic win? I don't see a problem with it." Sarge shrugged.

"Of course you don't..." Church rolled his eyes.

Sonic arched his body as it hit the steel and Mario exited the ring and picked up Sonic and threw face-first into the chain wall! Sonic slumped against it...AND MARIO GRABBED HIS FACE AND BEGAN SCRAPING IT ALL ACROSS THE WALL! Sonic cried out in pain as Mario took delight in destroying his opponent's face with the wall! The scraping lasted for about twenty seconds before he threw Sonic away, the hedgehog's face now even MORE of a crimson mask. He picked up Sonic...AND THREW HIM ONCE MORE INTO THE CHAINS! Mario laughed as Sonic fell down against the wall, panting heavily as pain seeped through his body. Mario picked up Sonic once more, a devilish idea in mind...

...

...then placed him between his legs, looked out to the crowd, and exclaimed "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHALLENGE ME!" before wrapping his arms around Sonic's waist...

"No...No...NO! He's going to piledrive him onto the damn steel grating! The last time that happened, it was Mai doing it Mars in 2004! It was a MIRACLE that Mars didn't have a damn broken neck! But with how Sonic is, he won't be as lucky! DON'T DO IT MARIO! DON'T DO IT!" Church stated.

"DO IT! BREAK HIS NECK! GET HIM OUT OF OUR RED LIVES!" Sarge cheered.

Mario lifted Sonic...

...

...

...but Sonic managed to remain rooted to the steel. Mario was annoyed as he lifted Sonic up again, only to be met with the same result...

...

...

...AND SONIC SUDDENLY TRIPPED HIM UP BY BOTH LEGS! Mario crashed back-first on the steel, but Sonic quickly grabbed both legs...

...

...

...AND LAUNCHED MARIO INTO THE CHAIN WALL!

"SONIC! SONIC! SONIC SENDS MARIO FACE-FIRST INTO THE CHAINS! A DESPERATION MOVE TO KEEP HIS HOPES ALIVE!" Church stated.

"DAMMIT! No matter, just a minor setback! Mario can easily come back from this! This is no problem for him!" Sarge reasoned.

The crowd cheered as Mario fell down and held his face as Sonic rolled over to the ropes, aching in SERIOUS pain. However, he found the will to keep going as he grabbed the ropes and used them to slowly pull himself up to his feet. With a bloody face, he turned and saw Sonic slowly pushing himself up...reacted...

...

...

...

...

...HOMING ATTACK ON THE STEEL GRATING!

"AAAAHHHH! YOU DAMN HEDGEHOG! THAT HOMING ATTACK WAS UNWARRANTED! WHY I OUGHTA...!" Sarge exclaimed.

"SONIC PLANTED'S MARIO FACE ON STEEL! MARIO MAY BE OUT COLD!" Church shouted.

The crowd exploded, chanting "SONIC! SONIC!" as Mario was motionless face-first on the steel as Sonic recovered next to him. Eventually, Sonic slowly sat up and grabbed Mario. He then began rolling the plumber across the steel grating and pushed him back into the ring, Mario's face bloodier then ever. He then crawled through the ropes...

...and proceeded to cover Mario!

"Cover on Mario! Cover! Can he ACTUALLY do it?!" Church asked.

1...

...

...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

...

...

MARIO KICKS OUT AT 2.9999!

"AAAAHHH! Too close Mario! TOO CLOSE! Stop SCARING me...I can't take it!" Sarge stated.

Sonic screamed in frustration as he pulled at his quills before crawling over to the ropes and grabbed them, using them once more to get to his feet. He saw Mario slowly stirring, narrowed his eyes in hatred...

...

...and began stomping his foot rhythmically.

"Oh boy...I think...that Sonic...may be TUNING UP THE BAND..." Church said.

"Oh no...if this HITS at THIS stage...Please NO!" Sarge begged.

The crowd soon got the idea and began to clap along with Sonic's slow stomping, the stomping and clapping getting louder each time. Mario slowly stood to his feet...turned around...

...

...

...Sonic hopped and lifted his leg...

...

...

...

...MARIO DUCKS THE SWEET CHIN MUSIC! Sonic stumbled forward, and got turned around by Mario and lifted onto his shoulders! Sonic however struggled in Mario's grip, and managed to get off the shoulders! Sonic stumbled back into the ropes and bounced off them as Mario turned around...

...

...DISCUS ELBOW SMASH FROM SONIC! Mario was down as Sonic fell over the ropes and held onto them, panting heavily as he slowly walked along the ropes before going to the corner and began to climb them. He fought through the pain and climbed to the top...

...

...

...

...Mario shot up and caught Sonic with a right to the skull, dazing him! Mario then climbed to the top and began hitting Sonic with a few more rights, before he placed his arm over his head.

"Oh man...if Mario hits this Superplex, Sonic may be done for! Who knows how much more the hedgehog can take?!" Church asked.

"I'll tell you how much: NO MORE. This hits...Sonic goes bye-bye!" Sarge stated.

Mario lifted Sonic up...

...

...but Sonic held onto the ropes, refusing to be moved! Mario tried a few more times, but Sonic refused to be moved! Sonic then began to nail a few gut shots, each one loosening Mario's grip further. Eventually, Mario let go, and then Sonic grabbed Mario's head and began nailing headbutts to his head, repaying him from earlier! Each heabutt dazed Mario more and more, until one final one sent Mario off the top and down to the mat below. He rolled away a bit before laying down motionless, and Sonic shook the cobwebs out of his head as he stood tall...

...but then looked up and saw the pod behind him...then back at Mario...then at the pod...

...

...AND PULLED HIMSELF UP TO THE POD WITH ALL OF HIS STRENGTH!

"Sonic's up top an-Wait, wait, wait...No...NO! NO! NO! Sonic, you can't do this! Not in your condition! Don't let your hatred and need for vengeance make you do this!" Church stated.

"Don't you dare jump off that pod! If you do, I'll call animal control and have you locked up! I swear it! Don't jump off onto our great champion!" Sarge exclaimed.

The crowd stood on their feet as Sonic stood tall on top of the pod, looked down at Mario, then the crowd...then back down...and said...

...

...

..."Fuck it..."

...

...

...

...

...SONIC NAILS A DIVING ELBOW DROP ON MARIO FROM THE TOP OF THE POD!

"SON OF A GODDAMN B*TCH! SONIC SAID SCREW IT AND DROVE HIS ELBOW INTO THE GREEDY HEART OF MARIO! SONIC SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO DESTROY MARIO!" Church exclaimed.

"THAT DAMN DIRTY BLUE! THIS IS WHY BLUES SUCK! THAT IDIOT HURT HIMSELF EVEN MORE! IN THE PROCESS! MEANING HE CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE, THANK THE REDS! BUT OUR CHAMPION IS HURT! DAMN HIM!" Sarge shouted.

The crowd was going crazy once more, the whole match being INSANE to them, as Mario rolled onto his stomach holding his chest, his legs pounding the mat in pure agony and pain, while Sonic held his entire body, rattling with pain itself from doing such a move! The two laid on the mat for a few seconds, both completely hurt and spent...

...until after twenty-five seconds, Sonic stirred much to the delight of the crowd, crawling towards the corner. He grabbed the ropes and pulled himself up the corner slowly but surely. Once up, he leaned his back against the corner and saw Mario stirring, and slowly urged him to get up, motioning for what was coming.

"Oh man...I think Sonic wants the end! I think he wants the SONIC DRIVER! If he hits that...he'll have done the IMPOSSIBLE! Hell, the fact that he's managed to fight like this is already a miracle in itself!"

"NO! NO! NO! He can't hit the Sonic Driver! He just can't! That is an impossibility as of this moment! Mario will make sure that never happens!" Sarge proclaimed.

Sonic urged Mario to get up more and more, and the plumber slowly managed to push himself to his feet. When he did, Sonic pushed himself off the corner and towards Mario. Mario turned around...

...

...

...AND WAS LIFTED ONTO SONIC'S SHOULDERS...

...

...

...

...Mario nailed a BRUTAL elbow to the skull of Sonic, causing him to let go of Mario! Mario landed behind Sonic, and nailed a GERMAN SUPLEX! Mario held onto Sonic's waist as he slowly rolled themselves over, very exhausted and hurt himself, before standing up with Sonic and nailing a SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX! Mario rolled themselves over once more, stood up...

...

...

...and Sonic hooked his leg around Mario's, making sure he wasn't lifted! Mario tried a few more times, but then got a few elbows to the skull from Sonic...ALLOWING SONIC TO DROP TOE HOLD! Sonic felt a burst of adrenaline as he stood up with Sonic's leg and tried for the Speed Trap...

"SPEED TRAP! SPEED TRAP! Sonic with the Speed Trap!" Church called.

...

...

...

...Mario rolled over onto his back and kicked Sonic away before he could execute the hold! Sonic rolled over to a corner and managed to pull himself up to his feet, ignoring the pain his body was feeling. Mario stood up and ran at Sonic...

...

...

...Sonic managed to Back Drop the incoming Mario...

...

...

...

...

...AND CAUGHT HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS!

"OH MY GOD! MARIO'S ON HIS SHOULDERS! ON HIS SHOULDERS!" Church called.

"WHAT?! WHAT?! NO! NO! NO! HE CAN'T HIT! HE CAN'T!" Sarge exclaimed.

Mario tried to grasp at the ropes to save himself but Sonic managed to get themselves away from the ropes and to the middle of the ring. Feeling adrenaline and a burst of strength, Sonic gave a great roar...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND NAILED THE SONIC DRIVER!

"THE SONIC DRIVER! SONIC GOT ALL OF IT!" Church shouted.

"NOOOOOOOOO! THIS...THIS CAN'T BE!" Sarge pulled at his helment.

Sonic with every fiber remaining in his hurt body hooked Mario as TIGHTLY as possible, the crowd counting along!

MARIO KICKS OUT AT 2.9999999999999!

"MARIO KICKED OUT! MY GOD, MARIO SURVIVED THE SONIC DRIVER! HE KICKED OUT OF SONIC'S BEST SHOT!" Church exclaimed.

"HE DID?! HE DID?! ...YES! YES! HAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S THE GREATNESS OF MARIO AT WORK! YOUR PRECIOUS SONIC DRIVE DIDN'T WORK! WHATCHA GONNA DO NOOOOOWWW, SONIC?!" Sarge questioned.

Sonic lied on the mat next to Mario, his face full of disbelief as he ran his hands through his quills. Wondering what the hell he had to do to win, Sonic looked up at a corner, and his face gained a dark look on his face. He then got on all fours and slowly crawled towards the corner, and once there, he pulled himself up with the ropes to his feet. Once up...

...

...he began undoing the covering for the top turnbuckle!

"Wait, what the...Oh boy, this is just like with the Bowser match. Doing something he wouldn't normally do...to him, drastic times must mean drastic measures!" Church stated.

"Oh dammit, stop this ref! STOP IT! Why aren't you stopping this crap?! Ah, you are useless! MARIO WATCH OUT!" Sarge warned.

Sonic pulled off the covering and threw it away, and he turned to Mario, a dark look still on his face. He then limped his way to Mario who was still down from the Sonic and grabbed him and slowly pulled him up. He glared at Mario before muttering "Vengenace...is mine..." before dragging Mario to the exposed corner...

...

...

...UNTIL MARIO TRIPPED SONIC WITH BOTH LEGS! He positioned himself behind the exposed corner...

...

...THEN LAUNCHED SONIC INTO THE EXPOSED TU-NO! Sonic managed to land on the second turnbuckle, the adrenaline coming back to him! Once Mario got back up, Sonic went for a Diving Crossbody...

...

...

...AND MARIO ROLLED THROUGH WITH SONIC IN HIS HANDS! He stood and lifted Sonic up onto his shoulders...

...

...

...until Sonic began elbowing Mario in the head, dazing him! Sonic landed in front of Mario AND DROP TOE HOLDS HIM! He stands up and grabs the leg...

...

...

...Mario suddenly rolls through...

...

...

...

...AND SENDS SONIC FACE-FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE!

"OOOHHH! SONIC WAS SENT INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! I DON'T THINK THAT WAS INTENTIONAL BY MARIO, BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP THE STEEL FROM BREAKING SONIC'S FACE!" Church stated.

"HAH! HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR ACTIONS BITING YOU IN THE ASS, HEDGEHOG?! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO SCREW THE GREATEST CHAMPION EVER!" Sarge shouted.

Sonic was out of it on his feet as he stumbled backwards from the impact of hitting the exposed steel before turning around...

...

...

...

...AND GETTING TURNED INSIDE OUT WITH A BRUTAL CLOTHESLINE FROM MARIO!

"SON OF A B*TCH! DID YOU SEE THAT FREAKIN' CLOTHESLINE?!" Church questioned.

"I DID! AND IT WAS THE MOST GLORIOUS RED CLOTHESLINE EVER!" Sarge shouted.

Sonic was completely laid out and unmoving and Mario rolled onto the apron and began climbing the corner slowly. Eventually, he managed to reach the top...

...

...dived off...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND CONNECTED WITH THE SUPER MARIO SPLASH!

"MARIO HITS THE SUPER MARIO SPALSH! DON'T TELL ME...! IS HE REALLY GONNA DO IT?!" Church questioned.

"YOU BET YOUR ASS HE IS! Sonic the Hedgehog..." Sarge began.

"YOU JUST GOT SARGE'D!" Sarge finished.

"MARIO WINS! MARIO HAS WON IT!" Church exclaimed.

(Shiny diamonds

Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue

Something is coming for you - look out!

Race for the morning

You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light

Oh, we will pray it's all right

Gotta get away - get away

Between the velvet lies

There's a truth that's hard as steel

The vision never dies

Life's a never ending wheel - yeah!)

("Holy Diver" by Killswitch Engage)

"Here is your winner of the Elimination Chamber..and STILL...UCA...WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION...SUUUPPPPEEEEERRRR MAAAARRRRIIIIIOOOOO!"

The crowd was THUNDEROUS with their boos as Mario let go of Sonic's leg and rolled off of him and laid on his back, panting heavily and his body aching in pain EVERYWHERE. His face covered completely in blood looked up at the ceiling, wondering if this was all really real, when the ref suddenly placed the World Title over his chest. Then, he KNEW that this was reality as he hugged the World Title as TIGHTLY as possible, eyes closed as he nearly cried tears of joy amid the pain. After awhile of laying there, Mario slowly sat up and was eventually helped up to his feet to the ref. Once he stood up, the ref raised his hand in victory as he raised the World Title high shouting "YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!" before dropping to his knees and clutching the World Title close, as if it were his child.

"Mario did the unthinkable! Mario pulled off what every odd in the book said he couldn't do! He RETAINED inside the Elimination Chamber! He SURVIVED Satan's Structure! He MANAGED to get through Force's punishment! Mario has now become the THIRD person to retain his title within the Elimination Chamber!" Church stated.

"You got that right dirtbag! Mario has created more history here tonight, and guess what?! He's not only done that...he has PUNCHED HIS TICKET to the main event of Final Clash! Glory to the Reds, Mario is going to main event Final Clash!" Sarge cheered.

"For the second year in a row, Mario will main event Final Clash for the second year in a row, a feat only a few elite men in this company have been able to do! And it will be the first in UCA history it will be done within the same World Title! Love him or hate him...Mario has DONE IT." Church stated.

Mario continued to clutch his title and rock it ever so gently when suddenly, the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom came out. Luigi, Toad, Yoshi, Peach, and Daisy all waked down the ramp and entered the Chamber and the ring, clapping for Mario in happiness and proud. Mario soaked in the applause of his stable before getting up and hugging some of his stablemates, ESPECIALLY Luigi and even kissed Peach, before motioning upwards, and then Yoshi and Luigi raised Mario high onto their shoulders. Mario sat upon their shoulders, and raised his World Title high, shouting "GREATEST...CHAMPION...EEEEVVVVEEEEERRR...B*TCHES!" as the crowd booed MERCILESSLY at this sight.

"This crowd may HATE this very sight, but Mario is STILL the World Champion, and he fought like hell in order to make sure that was the case! The longest World Title reign in history continues, and you gotta wo-" Church was interrupted by...

(One more shot

And then I'm over and out

I'm gonna show the non believers what I'm talking about

One Shot

And then I'm under and gone

I'm gonna show the non believers they are nothing but wrong

One more way to make it easy for you

Know I'm gonna make it rough until the end

One less way I have to do this for you

Nothing's gonna bring me around the bend)

("Resurrected" by Peroxywhy?gen)

The crowd exploded THUNDEROUSLY in surprised cheers as Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom snapped their heads towards the stage in surprise and Mario was let down by his stable. Mario stared at the stage...

...as Matt Ishida came out to even louder cheers. The Digidestined of Friendship stood on stage and stared at Mario with a focused look on his face. Mario glared back at Matt from inside the ring and Chamber, and the two stayed like that for awhile, until Matt looked up at the Final Clash sign...

...and slowly pointed towards it, his eyes never leaving Mario as the crowd cheered. Mario narrowed his eyes as Matt pointed to it until he lowered his arm...and motioned for the belt around his waist, saying "The title comes with me...my resurrection will be completed." Mario shook his head and shouted "NO WAY IN HELL! IF I RETAINED HERE, I CAN BEAT YOU! THIS WILL ALWAYS BE MINE!" before raising his title high with one hand, glaring at Matt as the Destined continued his belt taunt.

"Oh man, Mario may have survived the Elimination Chamber, but at Final Clash, he may have a test that is JUST AS TOUGH as the Chamber...the resurrection of Matt Ishida, who will challenge for the World Title at Final Clash! He said he didn't care who won tonight, because he was winning no matter what!" Church stated.

"Well, he SHOULD care that Mario won, because if Mario won the Chamber, NO WAY will he ever lose to "Matty-Baby"! Last year, he crushed the Rumble Winner under his foot, and this year, he will do the exact same thing! Final Clash will be just another part of the Greatest Reign Ever!" Sarge stated.

"We'll have to wait and see if that is true Sarge, but my God, what a night! What a night! Title changes, brutality abound, shocking interference, men put down, men risen, last reunions, and so much more! This was indeed the Last Stand for some, while for others...was just the first victory on their path to greatness." Church stated.

"This was a night that no doubt lived up to every expectation, especially with so many great Reds winning, but it may fail in comparison to what happens in a few weeks, dirty Blue...because next up...FINAL CLASH!" Sarge stated.

"Ladies and gentleman, that is all the time we have for you tonight! I am Leonard L. Church, he's Sarge, and we hope you enjoyed Last Stand! Now it's time to kick things into overdrive! Next up: THE BIG STAGE OF UCA! FINAL CLASH! We'll see you tomorrow on Monday Night Flame, on the Path to Final Clash GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY! WHAT A NIGHT!" Church exclaimed.

The show ended with Matt and Mario staring each other down from the stage and ring respectively, Matt motioning for the belt and Mario raising his title high, both with determined looks on their faces, all while Sonic laid on the steel grating of the Chamber with an unreadable look on his face, staring up at the ceiling before placing his hands over his face in pure frustration. The show's logo appeared on the bottom right-hand corner for a few moments before the screen faded to black.
