Universal Character Association: Week 8
The camera goes to backstage, where we see the interview area, and none other than Tucker standing by with a mic, and it seemed behind his helmet, he had a big ol' grin on his face.
"Hey yo, it's the Tucker! And not JUST the Tucker, but..." Tucker began, before raising an FWA with his free hand. "But ONE of the FWA Winning Backstage Interviewers of the Year! That's right, the Tucker is an FWA Winner, baby! Hate that I have to share this trophy with the other guys! I mean seriously, can't they realize what this award could do for me?! It's a great way to pick up chicks! I mean, once I flash this, they'll be all over me and wanting a piece of what I offer! Bow Chicka Bo-"
"GET ON WITH THE INTERVIEW!" A worked said off-screen, throwing a rock at Tucker.
"AH ALRIGHT DUDE!" Tucker exclaimed as he ducked the rock. "Geez, why can't you let me gloat what I won? It's rare that we Red vs Blue guys actually win anything. Okay...so right now, we have on hand the NEW Internet Champion, welcome the RR's own Johnny Cage!"
The crowd exploded into a HUGE mixed reaction as Johnny Cage came onto the screen, Internet Title over his shoulder and a satisfied smirk.
"Now Cage man, last night, you and Colt Anderson competed in a match that exceeded everyone's expectations without a doubt. You two battled tooth and nail, grudges and anger spilling out like a lady does when she's satisfied! Bow Chika Bow Wow! But in the end, you won the Internet Title from Colt Anderson! How does it feel right now?" Tucker asked.
"Tucker, I feel AWESOME! I dealt with that damn Colt Anderson, and made him pay for all he did to me, for how he made me out to be! And now I have what was always meant to be mine! The Internet Championship! And look at what winning this title has done for me! People take me SERIOUSLY NOW! They actually give a damn about me! They recognize me, and hell, they are even starting to remember my WCW career! I am getting some damn recognition, and it's all thanks to this title and my glorious victory last night! So again...I feel AWESOME! Never better man!"
"Well, good to hear, I GUESS. And also, earlier, you were announced as one of the participants in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at Final Clash. So if you can get your mind off the high it's on, what are your thoughts on that?" Tucker asked.
"Dude, you have NO IDEA what that means to me. This will be my FIRST time being in a Final Clash, so that's already something big for me! But also being in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match as well?! Tucker, there is NOTHING stopping me from getting that briefcase! Nothing on this planet that will keep me from that guaranteed World Title in the form of a contract! And I don't care if anyone likes it or not, because at the end of the day, BOTH of my shoulders will be occupied with straps of gold! And if Sonic, Bowser, Toad, Crash, Scourge, or anyone else wants to get in my way...well let me remind you all that you are dealing with the Internet Champion of the World...and when you are reminded of that...realize...that you have NO CHANCE in hell of winning over me." Cage chuckled with a smirk.
"Speaking of that Internet Title, some people are wondering if, or EVER, you will defend that championship. I mean, it's not exactly something prestigious, I wouldn't put it past being a prop, something to show the ladies just like my FWA right he-" Tucker said.
"HOLD IT...right there..." Cage frowned, interrupting Tucker. "Now listen up...this Internet Title...is NOT a prop. This title has damn near rejuvenated my career, and I'll be damned if people want to write it off as a belt worth absolutely NOTHING! See, Colt was the first Internet Champion...but ME...? ...I am going to be the FIRST to LEGITIMIZE this belt! I am announcing tonight that I am going to be defending this belt against any and all comers, hell, I will defend this belt against people from other companies! I will go to their houses, and beat whoever wants to take this belt and use it to make themselves! Hell, I'll say that next week, I am throwing out an Internet Title Open Challenge! I am going to go out to that ring, and I will defend the belt against whoever wants a crack at it! He could even be from another company! You want defenses? You'll get defenses...but know what you won't get...a new Champion, because this belt is staying with me for a LONG time since nobody will come close to what I can do." Cage smirked before running his hands through his hair and then throwing them to the camera.
"All Hail...the Rookie Revolution, baby..."
"Well...there you have it! Cage shows that he isn't afraid of defending his title! He says he's going to go out to other companies and defend the title! And he just threw out an Internet Title defense next week! ANYONE from ANY company can come out and challenge for the title!" Church stated.
"Now THERE is a fighting champion right there! Cage is going to make that belt as prestigious as it can be! The mark of a TRUE Red! Man, I can't wait to see it! It's going rock!" Sarge stated.
"Winning the Internet Title got Johnny Cage noticed in a big way, so it can do the same for whoever wins it next! An opportunity like that has to mean a lot of people who really want to get to the next level!" Church stated.
"But guess what?! Doesn't matter who wants to get noticed through that, because Johnny is beating anyone that is put in front of them! Why?! BECAUSE HE IS CAGE, BABY! AND CAGE WILL DEMOLISH EVERYONE AS THE INTERNET CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!" Sarge shouted.
"Yeah...uh-huh...we'll see about that. Well in any case, we got ourselves one HELL of a HIGH-STAKES match next! Why? ...Because it's going to be for the INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE RIGHT HERE ON FLAME!" Church exclaimed.
The bell rang a few times and the ring announcer spoke. "The following contest is scheduled for one fall...and is for the Intercontinental Championship!"
("I Am (Third Remix)" by Dale Oliver)
The crowd cheered loudly at the sound of the music as white pyro descended on the stage, and Hope the Hedgehog came out through them. The crowd cheered even louder as he was wearing a "UWE Forever" T-Shirt, an obvious tribute to the now dead company he started out in. Hope took a deep breath before splaying his arms out in a pose, the crowd cheering at this before he made his way down the ramp with a focused expression. He then slid into the ring before spinning around splaying his arms once more in a pose, bobbing his head to the beat of the music. The hedgehog then motioned to the "UWE" on his shirt, and nodded in respect to the fallen company before taking off his shirt and handing it to a ringside crew.
"Introducing first, the challenger, from South Island, Mobius, weighing in at 218 lbs., "The Warrior of Light" Hope the Hedgehog!"
"Hope the Hedgehog is ready for his title match, and look at what he just wore to the ring! A "UWE Forever" T-Shirt, an homage to the now defunct company that he started out in, that gave him the jump start in this business, and proved so much in! Paying respect to UWE, he may be looking to win the title tonight in honor of the company!" Church stated.
"Yeah, I can be okay with the company homage, even IF it's on UCA TV, but he ain't winning tonight! No way against Jason! He and his degenerate friend, Shadow, may have gotten lucky last night, but Jason won't lose with his title on the line! You forget that Hope is fighting the Messiah of the Neckbreaker! Yeah, now you realize how fruitless this will be." Sarge said.
"Hope earned this title shot last night when he pinned the Intercontinental Champion last night, and he has a chance to take home his first major singles title in UCA! But doing so is easier said done when you face..." Church said as...
("Firewater" by Sinister Growley)
The crowd went into a booing frenzy as the lights flickered on and off, and moments later, Jason Krueger stepped out from behind the curtain, an unhinged snarl decorating his face. With the IC Title held tightly in one hand, he stared down the hedgehog in the ring for a few moments before raising the title high in the air. He them slowly made his way down the ramp, never taking his eyes off the hedgehog in the ring. He walked up the steps and entered the ring, glaring at Hope darkly before climbing a corner and raising his title high once more. He then got off the corner, stared at Hope...and then gave him a thumbs down with a growl.
"And his opponent, representing the Rookie Revolution, from South Island, weighing in at 234 lbs., he is the reigning, defending UCA Intercontinental Champion, Jason Krueger!"
"Man, Jason looks as pissed off as one can get, and with how things went last night, you can't say this reaction is expected! He had to team up with Chaos, a man not known for tag-teaming, against the reunion of D-Hedge X, and not only did they lose, Jason himself got PINNED in that match which lead to this match!" Church stated.
"And then there is everything else going on in ACW and NCW and other stuff! It's all compounded, and now he's one dangerous Red ready to tear apart the hedgehog in front of him! He's going to take all his frustrations out on Hope, and make him suffer bit by bit! And then...HE'LL BREAK HIS NECK! BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE DOES!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Jason is a two-time Intercontinental Champion, and he wants to keep the title with him at any cost! But Hope is determined to win the title tonight, especially in honor of UWE! This will be one hell of a match for the gold in my view!" Church stated.
Jason handed his belt to the ref, who raised the belt high for all to see before handing it to ringside and then rang the bell. Hope and Jason then met in the middle of the ring in a lock-up, and Jason used his superior strength to quickly push Hope into a corner. Jason then proceeded to rain vicious fists on the skull in rapid succession, only stopping when the ref pulled him away and admonished him. Jason scowled before grabbing Hope and whipping him into the adjacent corner and ran after him. But Hope grabbed the ropes as he reached the corner and pushed himself above the incoming Jason and landing behind him. Jason stopped himself and turned around, and got a Snap Arm Drag from Hope. Jason got back up, but was nailed with a Headlock Takedown from Hope. Hope wrenched on the head, but Jason slowly stood up with Hope in tow, and suddenly slipped out of the head and planted Hope face-first on the mat! Hope got back up, but was immediately taken down with a Neckbreaker!
"And there goes Jason with a patented Neckbreaker of his! Dude is better at the Neckbreaker than anybody else, and you can bet he'll use it against Hope!" Church stated.
"And when Jason gets into a Neck-breaky mood, you can bet that it will be the beginning of the end for Hope!" Sarge proclaimed.
Jason covered Hope! 1...2..Kick out! Jason picked up and nailed a few fists to the skull before whipping Hope into the ropes and catching Hope with a Hip Toss, followed by a quick Elbow Drop to the heart. Jason then set up Hope and locked in a Chinlock, and pulled back on the head. After a few seconds in the hold, Hope suddenly slammed his head into Jason's several times, forcing him to let go. Hope then got up and went for a Clothesline, but Jason ducked, and went for a Neckbreaker. Hope got out of it, and pushed Jason into the ropes, and caught him on the bounce back with a Jumping Calf Kick. Jason stumbled up to his feet, but got nailed with a Dropkick! Hope went for a kick as Jason got back up, but Jason caught it, and spun Hope around. He caught Hope with a kick of his own, and then tried to lift him up for a Suplex...but Hope landed back on his feet and nailed a Sitout Facebuster!
"And Hope starting to build up some momentum here! Putting the match to his pace!" Church called.
"Oh I hate when the pace goes Hope's ways! It never brings any Red good!" Sarge said.
Jason held his face as he was covered! 1...2...Jason kicked out! Hope picked up Jason and whipped him into the corner and ran after him, but Jason Back Dropped him over the ropes! Hope landed on the apron though and caught Jason with a Head Kick to the skull! Hope readied himself and Springboarded as Jason was in the middle of the ring...
...and Jason moved out of the way! Hope landed on his feet, turned around...and got nailed with a Big Boot to the face! Hope fell to his knees, and Jason immediately nailed a Kneelift to the face! Hope stood up in a daze as Jason bounced off the ropes...
...and nailed a Swinging Neckbreaker!
"Three move combo to the skull of Hope! His head has to be ringing in some way after that!" Church stated.
Jason covered Hope!
1...
2...
Hope kicks out!
"Ah, he's just softening Hope up anyway! When a big move hits is when Hope will really be done!" Church stated.
Jason stood up and stomped out Hope viciously before picking up the hedgehog and nailed an Inverted Headlock Backbreaker, followed by a Neckbreaker Slam! Cover again! 1...2...Hope kicks out! Jason picked up Hope and proceeded to throw him out of the ring hard! Jason then had an evil idea on his face, smirking insanely as he waited for Hope to get up. When he did...Jason bounced off the ropes, ran towards the ones nearest Hope...
...dived through them...
...
...HOPE CAUGHT JASON WITH A PELE KICK AS HE WAS GOING THROUGH THE ROPES!
"Jason going NCW on u-OH MY GOD! Did you just SEE THAT?! Hope caught Jason mid-Suicide Dive with a PERFECT Pele Kick!" Church stated.
"GAH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! ...Now granted it was cool admittedly BUT DAMMIT IT ALL TO RED HELL!" Sarge shouted.
The crowd cheered in excitement as Jason hung between the ropes from the kick before sliding off them back into the ring. Hope got on the apron then grasped the ropes...
...Tope Atomico connects!
"And Hope with the Tope Atomico, perfectly executed!" Church stated.
Hope covered Jason!
1...
2...
Jason kicks out!
"But no Tope Atomico can keep down this Messiah of the Neckbreaker! Not in this lifetime!" Sarge exclaimed.
Hope picked up Jason and threw him into the corner, and then proceeded to nail several Shoot Kicks to his chest in the corner. After six Shoot Kicks, he grabbed Jason and whipped him into the adjacent corner. Hope then ran full speed at Jason...
...
...Jason moved out of the way! Hope missed the Corner Dropkick and crashed into the corner! Hope groaned in pain as he got back up...BUT GERMAN SUPLEXED BY JASON! Hope writhed in pain as Jason picked him up...and nailed a Neckbreaker Slam on Hope! Jason held on though, and stood up with Hope...and nailed a second Neckbreaker Slam! Jason then stood up still holding onto Hope...
"Jason going for his personal rendition of the Three Rolling Germans or Suplex, the third in the Three Rolling Neckbreakers!" Church stated.
...
...
...Hope spun out of it and pushed Jason into the ropes! Jason bounced back AND DUCKED A DOSE OF LIGHT! Hope stumbled forward and turned around...
...AND GOT NAILED WITH A SUDDEN MENTAL BREAKDOWN!
"And there is the patented Mental Breakdown! That's what Jason is capable of! That's what happens when you mess with him! Hope..." Sarge began.
Jason covered Hope!
1...
...
2...
...
"You Just Got...Gah, so close! So close to retaining the title for all of the Reds! No fear, he'll just get him next time! He always does!" Sarge stated.
Jason scowled angrily at the kick out before picking up Hope and nailing several forearms to his face before whipping him, but Hope held onto a rope to stay in place. Jason tried a few more times, but Hope suddenly pulled Jason towards him and caught him with a kick to the gut. Hope then tried for a Suplex over the ropes...
...BUT JASON SUDDENLY PULLED HIM DOWN FOR THE TOTAL CORRUPTION!
...
...WAIT! Hope managed to roll through it, and rolled up Jason in a Oklahoma Roll! 1...2...JASON KICKS OUT! They both got back up...
...
...
...PELE KICK-JASON CAUGHT THE LEG...
...
...AND LIFTS HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!
"JASON CAUGHT THE PELE! HOLY...HE'S GOT HOPE FOR THE ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!" Church shouted.
...
...
...
...Hope gets out of it and lands behind Jason! He stumbles back into the ropes, and Jason runs at him! Hope catches Jason in the jaw with his foot...and USES THE MOMENTUM to flip backwards over the ropes and onto the apron! He leaps onto the ropes...
...
...
...SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH!
"Springboard Forearm Smash! The cover!" Church exclaimed.
1...
...
2...
...
Jason kicks out!
"Jason don't you DARE scare me like that again! Please! I hate having scares like that!" Sarge stated.
Hope stood up and went over to a corner, pointed to the sky...then began to stomp his foot on the mat...again...and again...and again...
"Hope's prepping it up...he's prepping up a very special dose for one Jason Krueger!" Church proclaimed.
Jason slowly stood up to his feet as the crowd slowly clapped in tune with Hope's stomp, especially as they got faster and faster. Jason stood up, and turned around...
...
...
...Hope skipped to him...lifted his foot...
...
...
...JASON SIDESTEPPED THE SUPERKICK! Jason grabbed Hope from behind...HALF-NELSON NECKBREAKER CONNECTS!
"And the Messiah of the Neckbreaker does it again! Hope..." Sarge began.
Jason covered Hope!
1...
...
...
2...
...
...
Hope kicks out!
"You Just Got...NOT Sarge'd! Well why don't you just GET SARGE'D and let us Reds have our moment in the sun!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Hope manages to fight out, and every kick out from the hedgehog just incites more and more anger from the IC Champion! Just look at him!" Church noted.
Sure enough, Jason was getting more and more frustrated, heaving deeply as the unhinged snarl grew larger. The Champion stood up to his feet, looked out to his crowd, and motioned and shouted "NECK...BROKEN!" He then grabbed Hope and lifted him onto his shoulders...
...
...
...HOPE SLIPPED OUT OF IT AND ROLLED UP JASON IN SUNSET FLIP PIN!
"ROLL-UP! ROLL UP!" Church called.
1...
...
...
2...
...
...
Jason kicks out!
Both men rolled onto their feet and Hope caught Jason with an Enziguri! Jason fell to his knees, and Hope quickly bounced off the ropes to him...
...
...
...
...JASON DUCKS THE SHINING WIZARD! Hope quickly recovers and stands up, but Jason catches with a BRUTAL Lariat that nearly takes his head off! Jason pants heavily before picking up Hope and setting him up another Mental Breakdown...
...
...
...HOPE CATCHES HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE TO THE JAW!
"Ooooohhh! What a roundhouse! I wouldn't be surprised if Jason was legit out cold after that!" Church stated.
"Gah, I always hate it when he does that! Seriously, does he has nothing BETTER to do then using roundhouses?!" Sarge questioned.
"Sarge, he's in a match for a TITLE! What else do you expect him to do?!" Church questioned.
"To Roundhouse Kick a dirty Blue that truly deserves it!" Sarge replied.
Jason was laid out on the mat as Hope fell to a seated position on the canvas, taking a slight breather for the moment. Shaking his head, he stood to his feet...
...
...
...THEN GOT TAKEN DOWN WITH A DISCUS LARIAT FROM CHAOS!
"OH COME ON! CHAOS?! ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?!" Church questioned.
"CHAOS IS PISSED ABOUT LAST NIGHT, AND HE WON'T LET IT GO! NOT ON HIS LIFE!" Sarge exclaimed.
The crowd booed loudly as the ref called for the disqualification, Chaos not caring as he rained down punches and stomps down on the white hedgehog, anger pouring out from him. After over fifteen seconds of this, he picked up the hedgehog, lifted him onto his shoulders...
...
...
...
...AND DROPPED HIM WITH RAGNAROK!
"And that damn Ragnarok connects! This great title match ruined by this god-complex hedgehog!" Church stated.
"Yeah, well it's Hope own fault that this is happening! Should never have done what he did to Chaos!" Sarge said.
"WHAT DID HE DO, YOU IDIOT?!" Church questioned.
Chaos snarled down at his rival, practically ready to inflict more damage on him...
...when he was turned around by Jason Krueger, who had a dissatisfied and pissed look on his face as he began shouting angrily at Chaos, who shouted back at the Champion.
"I DON'T think Jason is really happy that Chaos interfered in this match-up..." Church noted.
"Why? Didn't Chaos do this to Shadow when he faced Jason a few weeks ago and Jason was fine then?" Sarge questioned.
"Yeah, but I think Jason wanted to beat Hope personally, and then there was last night, which I believe he felt happened because of Chaos...so I don't think he's receptive THIS time around..." Church stated.
The arguing between the two, and eventually, it escalated with Jaosn shouting at Chaos "I DON'T NEED YOU BUTTING INTO MY BATTLES CONSTANTLY! I CAN BEAT HIM ON MY OWN! I DON'T REQUIRE YOUR HELP! ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU BRINGING ME DOWN THAT WE LO-"
CHAOS NAILED A BIG BOOT TO THE SKULL OF JASON!
"And Chaos decided that talk was cheap and just drilled his boot to Jason's skull! Any hope for an Unholy Destroyers Tag Team is done for with that!" Church shouted.
Jason held his face in pain as he stumbled up to his feet, and he got lifted onto Chaos' shoulders...
...
...
...RAGNAROK ON JASON!
"And there's a Ragnarok for Jason! Chaos is pissed, and he's taking it out on everybody!" Church stated.
"Ah dammit, I hate when Reds fight Reds! I mean seriously, why must good Reds fight?! It brings jot to nobody! Wait...YES! Go after Hope! He's the dirty Blue that should get beaten even more! Please beat him up!" Sarge pleaded.
Indeed, Chaos had set his sights on Hope once more and picked him up. He placed him between his legs...
...before pushing the hedgehog away as SHADOW slid into the ring and began to lay rights on Chaos, the god-complex hedgehog retaliating with rights of his own to Shadow!
"And Shadow is here! Shadow is here! Shadow's here and wants a piece of Chaos!" Church stated.
"Why can't these damn hogs just leave things be?! I hate when they butt into business that doesn't involve them!" Sarge proclaimed.
Chaos and Shadow continued to exchange rights over and over until Shadow slowly began to get the better of Chaos...until Chaos nailed a KNEE to the gut of the black hedgehog! Chaos then grabbed Shadow...STANDING SIDE SLAM CONNECTS! Chaos growled in anger as he picked up Shadow and placed him between his legs! He wrapped his arms around his waist...
...
...
...SHADOW BACK BODY DROPPED HIM! Chaos arched his back in pain before getting back up...met with a kick to the gut from Shadow! Bent down, arms hooked...
...
...
...CHAOS NIGHTMARE CONNECTS!
"And Chaos gets the Chaos Nightmare for his troubles! Shadow with the save for Hope, his friend!" Church stated.
"GAH! Damn, does this ALWAYS have to happen?! I swear, can't ANYTHING right happen with this?!" Sarge questioned.
Shadow stood and glared down at Chaos, and as he did, Jason and Hope slowly made their way up to their feet. Jason stood up first, and Hope saw him in position. Going for it, Hope sprang up and stepped towards Jason, lifting his foot...
...
...
...
...JASON DUCKED! HOPE NAILS SHADOW WITH THE DOSE OF LIGHT INSTEAD!
"OH DAMN! JASON DUCKED! JASON AVOIDED THE SUPERKICK! SHADOW TOOK THE HIT INSTEAD!" Church shouted.
"I KNEW THAT DAMN HOPE WOULD TURN ON SHADOW! ONCE A DIRTY BLUE, ALWAYS A DIRTY BLUE!" Sarge exclaimed.
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT SARGE, THAT WAS COMPLETELY BY ACCIDENT! AND YOU KNOW IT!" Church replied.
Shadow fell down onto the mat, laid out and KOed as Hope looked on in shock and horror at what had happened. Before he could even react, he was turned around by Jason, lifted up...
...
...ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION BY JASON!
"And there is Absolute Destruction from Jason! Hope has just been dropped by the Intercontinental Champion! This has been chaos!" Church stated.
Hope held the back of his head and neck in pain as he was down on the mat, and Jason laid across the mat, panting heavily before rolling over to the side of the ring. He then demanded his belt from the ringside crew, and was given it by them before sliding out of the ring. He then walked around the ring and began to back up the ramp, holding the title close to his chest as if it were the most important thing in the world. He surveyed the damage in the ring with all three men in the ring laid out, and Jason just shook his head, still clutching the title tightly, muttering "Mine...this title is mine...the title started it for me...it's mine" as he walked to the back.
"And the man standing tall in the carnage...is Jason Krueger! This is what happens when you mess with the Messiah of the Neckbreaker! Our Intercontinental Champion!" Sarge stated.
"Jason manages to escape this carnage still in one piece, STILL Champion thanks to the disqualification! But this isn't over knowing the three in the ring! Jason survives...but for how long?" Church asked.
"As long as he wants, dirtbag! As long as he wants! Never doubt Jason Krueger, for if you do, he'll break your neck! This is Jason's time, and with how he is these days, he'll make you suffer for everything!"
The camera goes to backstage where we see Grif conversing with a backstage worker, bag of chips in his hand as he was slacking off on his work...AGAIN. Not surprised.
"I mean I got this fullproof plan for when the zombies eventually take over." Grif said. "I mean come on, inevitable right? I'm going to Alaska when it happens. Reason why? Zombies have no body heat. Up there, they'll freeze like corpsesicles. And I'll be safe. Of course Simmons is going to stay safe in his attic with two weeks worth of supplies, stupid I know, an-"
"WHERE...IS HE?"
"Huh...?" Grif said as he and the worker turned...
...to face Wolfgang, who had a PISSED OFF look on his face! His upper head was wrapped in bandages, no doubt from the beatdown he received last night, and his body was shown with a few bruises, but that didn't seem to deter him as he had a snarl on his face, glaring at the two in front of him.
"WHERE...IS HE?" Wolfgang repeated.
"Ummmm...sir...we were having a discuss-" The backstage worker tried to say but was cut off by Wolfgang.
"Weenie, you shut the hell up...or I'll take your damn head and give it the swirly of a lifetime before giving you the BEATING of a lifetime...and THEN call Big Brother over so he give you a giant Wet Willie then send your ass packing!" Wolfgang threatened, and the backstage worker gulped by the threat and simply walked away from the Bully. Wolfgang disregarded the backstage worker and turned to Grif. "ONE LAST TIME...WHERE IS HE?"
"Ummmm...where's WHO?" Grif questioned, digging through his bag of chips.
"You know who I am talking about..." Wolfgang threatened. "GORDON FREEMAN...that damn mute freak! Last night, he decided it be such a LAUGH, a RIOT to play some stupid mind sh*t on me the whole damn night! I had to deal with flickering nights, damn things in my locker room, and some sort of giant ant things eating some carcass! I had a crappy night thanks to that stuff! And THEN to top it off...I had to endure this DAMN BEATDOWN! I got nailed with a crowbar! Steel stairs! Steel chair! I GOT PUT THROUGH A DAMN TABLE! AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF HE IS LEFT WALKING AFTER WHAT HE DID TO ME! NOW TELL ME WHERE HE IS!"
"How should I know? I don't keep tabs on the guy." Grif said lazily. "Plus, he's with that G-Man, and you know how HE can be. Not like you'll find him any time soon unless he wants to be seen..."
Wolfgang glared at Grif who kept digging his through his bag of chips before speaking. "Fine...you know what? How about if you see him, you give him...AND Force a message from me. That freak wants to think he can beat me down? Think he can come out on top? ...Well how about I prove to him to who the REAL Alpha Male is, why a rookie like him can't match up to a vet like me...AT FINAL CLASH!" The crowd watching EXPLODED with cheers at this proclamation. "Hell, if he's hearing this right now from whatever hole he's hiding in, accept this challenge if you got any balls! Even though when I am done with him, he'll know what happens when you deal with a Bully! ...YOU LOSE!"
"Yeah sure whatever, I'll let him know if I see him and Force as well." Grif said nonchalantly, not looking at Wolfgang. "Though it's kind of obvious that Gordon's going to kick your ass. I mean, the way he beat you down last night wa-"
WOLFGANG WOLF'S KICKED GRIF! The crowd booed loudly as Grif was laid out and Wolfgang snarled down at him before picking him up and dragging him over to a nearby trash can! He lifted up Grif...AND DUMPED HIM HEAD-FIRST INTO THE TRASH CAN! Grif was stuck inside the trash and the can upside down, and then Wolfgang tipped the trash can over, and proceeded to kick it down the hallway, where it rolled off-screen. Crashing could be heard off-screen, and Wolfgang only snarled.
"...Weenie." Wolfgang simply said as he walked off...
...
...not noticing Gordon Freeman and G-Man appearing from around a corner, having heard and witnessed everything!
"My, my, Mr. Freeman...Mr. Wolfgang seems...displeased with your actions last night. He has even gone as far as to make a challenge for Final Clash...what is your response, Mr. Freeman?" G-Man asked him.
Gordon simply stared at the direction Wolfgang walked off...before turning to G-Man and having a determined look on his face.
"...Yes, I figured as much, considering your...attitude to such things. Let us...visit Force...I am sure he would be thrilled...to have another match for Final Clash." G-Man smiled enigmatically before walking off, Gordon following him after a last look at Wolfgang's direction.
"THANK YOU WOLFGANG! THANK YOU! YOU ARE A TRUE AND HONORED RED! SOMEONE GIVE THAT MAN A MEDAL! HE DESERVES IT FOR GIVING GRIF WHAT HE DESERVES!" Sarge shouted.
"...How do I deal with you?" Church sighed. "...Well, while Sarge practically gushes over Grif getting hurt, your eyes and ears did not deceive you! Wolfgang threw down the challenge, and Gordon accepted! And you can bet Force will find out and make it official soon! Gordon Freeman...Wolfang...at Final Clash!"
"WOLFGANG, YOU ARE THE SHINING EXAMPLE OF A RED! ...And when it's official, know everybody that Wolfgang will make Gordon pay for what happened last night! Gordon just got lucky last night! Every rookie does! Oh trust me, Wolfgang is about to each Gordon a lesson!" Church stated.
"Don't know, Sarge! Gordon's proven he ain't that easy to take down! What he did to Wolfgang, and the performance he showed at the FWAs, nearly beating TIMMY TURNER shows that he's one tough SOB!" Church stated.
"Only in your delusions will anything close to Gordon beating Wolfgang back then! And even THEN it's unbelievable! WOLFGANG SHALL WIN FOR THE REDS! FOR HE IS THE MAN WHO BULLED GRIF!" Sarge exclaimed.
Church shook his head at this word. "Well, time will only tell how this will go between them. But for now...we got ourselves another match. A VERY important match with Final Clash implications...coming up! Fatal 4-Way to determine the Number One Contender for the Women's Title at the big event!" Church stated.
("My Last Breath" by Evanescence)
The crowd gave out loud cheers and Tifa Lockhart walked out from the back, clad in her Advent Children attire as she had a focused look on her face. She cracked her knuckles a few times before throwing her fist into the air, setting pyro off around her. She then made her way down the ramp, a determined look on her face as she slapped hands with a few fans. She then got on the apron and leaped over the ropes and into the ring, running to the ropes and threw her fist forward as she reached them. Tifa then pulled down at her gloves, as if prepping herself up more.
"The following contest is a Fatal 4-Way Match scheduled for one fall, and it is to determine the No. 1 Contender for the UCA Women's Championship at Final Clash! Introducing first, from Edge, weighing in at 133. lbs. Tifa Lockhart!"
"Tifa looking to get one more chance at the Women's Title, and in the process, Lightning herself! Her last chance to get a title shot got taken away from her last month, but here she's looking to most of the opportunity!" Church stated.
"This damn hag dared to attack the Women's Champion after her epic title defense last night! Damn hag has no respect for the new gen!" Sarge stated.
"More like she was saving Green from an unwarranted attack! And besides, Tifa said she was coming for Lightning no matter what! And tonight, she looks to earn a title shot by winning the Fatal 4-Way! But it's easier said than done!" Church stated.
("Dead White Guys" by Joseph Saba and Stewart Winter)
The crowd exploded into loud boos as the music played, the lights turning a bright gold. Moments later, Sally Acorn came onto the stage wearing a dark purple royal robe with a crown over her head. She twirled around in a royal manner before looking out to the crowd and raising her arms in a haughty manner, the crowd booing her viciously as she did so. She walked down the rampway with a smug smirk on her face before stepping up the steel steps, and then entered the ring. She stood in the center of the ring raising her hands like she was better than everyone.
"Introducing first, from the Kingdom of Acorn, weighing in at 129 lbs., "The Princess" Sally Acorn!"
"Sally Acorn, the second-longest reigning Women's Champion in UCA history, looks to get back into the groove tonight! Last time she was in action, she lost to Kiva! That had to sting for her." Church stated.
"But she's looking to put it past her! Why? Because if she wins, she's going to Final Clash! It could be time for the Princess of Acorn to once again take her place on top back! She has the skill to do it!" Sarge stated.
"Well Sally has always been an arrogant and self-serving one, but there's no denying she's good in the ring. She wants to be the one to dethrone Lightning, but three other women want to do it as much as her." Church stated.
("Agent Tex (Instrumental)" by Jeff Williams)
The music roared throughout the arena, and as it picked up, Agent Tex came out onto the stage to a loud ovation of cheers. Tex stared at the three in the ring, before punching her fist into her palm, and cracked her neck in anticipation. She then made her way down to the ring.
"Introducing next, from Blood Gu-"
SAMUS CLOTHESLINES TEX DOWN FROM BEHIND!
"WHAT THE HELL?! SAMUS?! SHE'S IN THE MATCH, BUT SHE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OUT HERE YET! WHAT'S SHE DOING?!" Church questioned.
"PAYING TEX BACK FOR WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK, YOU DIRTY BLUE! ISN'T THAT OBVIOUS?!" Sarge questioned.
Samus glared down silently at Tex as the crowd booed loudly at her for the actions. Tex held her head and growled as she stood up...but got a kick to the gut from Samus! The former World Champion grabbed Tex...
...
...AND THREW HER OFF THE STAGE AND ONTO THE CONCRETE!
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! SAMUS JUST THREW TEX ONTO THE DAMN CONCRETE! TEX IS COMPLETELY BROKEN!" Church exclaimed.
"Yeah, that's what I am TALKING about! Tex has been taken out just like that! Just perfect! PERFECT! ...And I hope Tex doesn't hear this when she's back up!" Sarge stated.
"DAMMIT! What the hell is Samus' problem?! She's been fixated on Tex for some damn reason since she first arrived in UCA, and she hasn't uttered one word! What's her damn DEAL?!" Church questioned.
"I don't know. Even a Red can't know everything...though they know more than you do." Sarge stated.
Samus simply stared at the hurt and writhing Tex as officials and medics checked on her, before making her way down the ramp. She slid into the ring and motioned for the ref to start the match. The ref tried to protest, but Samus simply motioned that Tex wasn't going to compete and that the match had to go on. Tifa could only watch in anger and disbelief at what Samus had just done, while Sally looked like she just wanted the match to happen so she could win it. The ref then sighed, and rang the bell, knowing the match had to go on.
"Dammit! Samus just made sure Tex couldn't compete in the match! That was her damn plan, and now this match has just become a Triple Threat!" Church stated.
"Hey, we have to have a No. 1 Contender's Match! And if Tex can't make it! Too bad! At least we cut one potential contender down! AND THAT'S A GOOD THING!" Sarge exclaimed.
Samus went after Tifa and threw a fist, but Tifa ducked it and began nailing several fists to Samus, backing her up into a corner. Sally pulled her away, and tried for a right, but Tifa caught it and Clotheslined her down. Samus grabbed her from behind and nailed a Bulldog, followed by vicious stomping to the torso. She picked Tifa up, but then got a Dropkick to the jaw from Samus, sending her down. Samus got back up and Sally whipped her into the ropes and caught Samus with a Hip Toss. Tifa then suddenly grabbed Sally from behind and nailed a German Suplex on her! Sally held her head as Tifa grabbed her and whipped to her a recovering Samus, but Sally reversed and whipped her instead. Samus caught Tifa with a Back Body Drop, and then ducked a Big Boot from Sally, which was followed by a Neckbreaker Slam from Samus onto Sally! Sally rolled over to the ropes and stood up against them, and was clotheslined over them by Samus!
"And Samus takes Sally out of the equation for the moment! And now she has Tifa alone for the moment!" Church said.
"Tifa better watch out, because Samus is about to go old-school on her ass!" Sarge stated.
Samus went over to Tifa and picked her up, but suddenly got a Backfist to the face! Samus spun around for the impact, and then got a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Tifa covers! 1...2...Samus kicks out! Tifa picks up Samus and nails a few rights before hitting a Snap Suplex. Tifa then got up and quickly dropped a leg over her throat, then picked her up and whipped her into the corner. Tifa then ran at Samus, but got caught with an elbow to the jaw, and Samus ran for a Discus Clothesline! Tifa bounced off the ropes and tried for a Crossbody Block, but Samus actually caught her in her arms after stumbling back a bit. She then adjusted Tifa on her shoulders...and then nailed an Oklahoma Stampede! Samus covers! 1...2...Tifa kicks out! Samus stands up, but then gets an Elbow Smash to the back of the head! She lifts Samus back up, and then nails an Enziguri that sends Samus out of the ring! She then sees Samus on her knees, and hits a Swinging Neckbreaker!
"And Sally takes out Samus! Sally thinking to pick up the work Samus had done already!" Church stated.
"It's how a Triple Threat! Taking advantage of other people's work! In the end, as long as a Red wins, everything is okay!" Sarge stated.
Sally then picked up Tifa's head and slammed it into the mat before locking in an Armbar! She pulled at the arm, determined to pull it off, and Tifa gritted her teeth. She shook her head refusing to tap, and slowly stood up with Sally still pulling on the arm. Tifa then nailed a few rights to the skull of Sally, then managed to throw her into the ropes. Sally bounced back, and Tifa lifted her up, but the Princess used the momentum to land behind Tifa, and then quickly nailed a Half-Nelson Suplex on her! Tifa held the back of her head in pain as she got to her knees, but then got a Front Dropkick right to the skull! Sally chuckled as she splayed her arms out in an arrogant manner, and the crowd booed her, chanting "AMY'S BETTER! AMY'S BETTER!" Sally scowled at them before waving them off and picked them, and hooked the arms.
"Oh boy, I think she may want to end this one here and now with Blue Blood! Quick win here and now!" Church stated.
"Oh yeah, go for it, Sally! Drop that hag on her head! It's the Red thing to do!" Sarge cheered.
Sally tried to lift her up, but Tifa remained rooted to the ground. Sally tried again...but suddenly got Back Body Dropped by Tifa, who keeps it bridged! 1...2...Sally arches up her body...and spins them back into their original position! Sally tries for Blue Blood again...
...and Tifa spins out of it and nails a Roundhouse Kick! Sally falls down as Tifa drops to her knees, catching a breather before standing up and waiting for Sally to stand. When she does, Tifa nails a Rolling Elbow to the jaw of Sally! Sally bounced off the ropes from the impact and tried for a kick, but Tifa catches it, spins Sally around, and nails her with a Clothesline! Sally stumbles up to her feet...
...and Tifa pops up Sally and nails a HUGE Samoan Drop! Tifa covers! 1...2...Sally kicks out! Tifa waits for Sally to get up, and runs at her...Sally Back Drops Tifa over the ropes! But Tifa lands on the apron...
...WHICH SAMUS QUICKLY POWERBOMED HER OFF ONTO THE FLOOR!
"OH! Powerbomb straight to the floor! That's what happens with the multi-man matches! Always someone about to spring at you!" Church stated.
"And may I add that that Powerbomb was a thing of beauty!" Sarge said.
Tifa was laid out on the outside as Samus slid into the ring. Sally turned and threw a Clothesline, but Samus ducked it, grabbed her from behind...
...Full Nelson Facebuster connects! Samus quickly turns her over for the cover!
"Samus with a Full Nelson Facebuster followed a cover! Is this it?" Church questioned.

Sally kicks out!
"No, still has a lot left in Sally! Though Samus isn't one to give up so easily!" Sarge stated.
Samus picked up Sally and nailed a few knees to the gut before nailing a Gutwrench Suplex, followed by another cover! 1...2..Sally kicks out! Samus picks up Sally and then places her on top of a turnbuckle. Samus nailed a few shots to the skull before climbing up there with her. She grabbed Sally, and lifted her...
...but Sally held onto the ropes, refusing to be lifted! Sally then nailed a few shots to the stomach, but then Samus began nailing headbutts to the skull of Sally, dazing Sally once more! She then set up Sally...
...and nailed a Superplex on Sally!
"Superplex from Samus! And was it a BIG one! And there's another cover!" Church stated.

Sally kicks out!
"But Sally showing why she is one tough princess! Yeah, you haters can hate how tough she shows to be!" Sarge stated.
Samus picked up Sally, and hooked the arms in a Double Chickenwing! He lifted her up...

"WAIT! ROLL-UP FROM SALLY!" Church shouted!

Sally rolls her over for the pin! 1...2...Samus kicks out! Sally picks up Samus and places her against the middle rope! She then bounces off the ropes, and nails a Crossbody against her! Samus fell down off the ropes, and Sally smirked an irritable smirk before picking up Samus...who suddenly kick Sally in the knee, buckling her! She then grabbed Sally's head...
...
...WHO SPUN OUT OF IT AND NAILED A LIFTING REVERSE STO!
"Reversal by Sally, who nails the Lifting Reverse STO!" Church exclaimed.
"And Samus, I have to say..." Sarge began.
Sally covered Samus!

"You Just Got...NOT Sarge'd! Not Sarge'd! The galactic bounty hunter STILL lives!" Sarge exclaimed.
Sally frowned at the kickout before standing up, and pointing to the Final Clash sign! She picked up Samus, hooked the arms...
...
...
...DISCUS CLOTHESLINE FROM TIFA!
"WHAT THE...?! Where did that damn Tifa come from!? She damn near took Sally's head off!" Sarge exclaimed.
"I don't know, but Tifa is refusing to let the title shot get away from her this time around!" Church said.
The crowd exploded in cheers as Tifa stood up and saw Samus up in a daze, and then nailed a Spinning Heel Kick to her jaw that sent her down! She then grabbed Sally and whipped her, but Sally reversed with a whip of her own into the ropes. Tifa bounced off the ropes, and ducked a clothesline, and quickly nailed a Snap Neckbreaker! Sally held her neck as she rolled over to the corner and stood up against it, but Tifa nailed a Jumping Forearm Smash to her! She pulled her in for a Powerslam...
...
...but Sally slid out of it from behind and went over to another corner! Tifa ran at her, but got nailed with a foot to the jaw! Sally then puled herself to the top turnbuckle...
...
...TIFA CLIMBED UP THERE SUDDENLY AND NAILED A LIMIT BREAK ON HER!
"LIMIT BREAK! TIFA JUST BROKE HER LIMIT AND TOOK DOWN SALLY! SALLY IS OUT!" Church shouted.
"WHAT?! NO! NO! NO! NOT THIS DIRTY BLUE! ANYBODY BUT HER!" Sarge exclaimed.
Tifa hooks the leg!

Samus breaks up the pin!
"And Samus saves the match for herself! That Women's Title shot means a lot to these women!" Church stated.
Tifa stood up and was greeted with vicious fists to the skull by Samus! Samus then nailed a Jumping Knee to the jaw, dazing the Final Fantasy girl and Samus then whipped Tifa into the ropes and caught her with a Spinebuster! Samus then motioned for something big, and picked up Tifa! She lifted her up Suplex-style...
...
...Tifa landed behind Samus and pushed her away! Samus turned around and MOVED AWAY FROM THE PREMIUM HEART FROM TIFA! Samus slid out of the ring as Tifa begged for Samus to get back in here, the bounty hunter only glaring at her from outside!
"And Samus avoids the instant KO Premium Heart! A breather is what Samus decides she ne-WAIT A MINUTE!" Church suddenly exclaimed.
The crowd suddenly exploded into loud cheers and Samus was confused. Samus turned around...
...
...
...AND GOT TACKLED DOWN BY TEX! TEX RAINS DOWN FURIOUS FISTS!
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S RED?! TEX?! BUT SHE WAS THROWN OFF THE STAGE! TAKEN CARE OF BY SAMUS!" Sarge exclaimed.
"YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAT TEX IS ONE TOUGH B*TCH! SHE ISN'T LAYING DOWN LIKE THAT! SHE'S COME TO TAKE HER RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THIS MATCH AND MAKE ONE SAMUS ARAN SUFFER!" Church shouted.
The crowd feverishly chanted "TEX IS GONNA KILL YOU! TEX IS GONNA KILL YOU!" as Tex continued to rain down angry fists on Samus before picking her up and ramming her into the steels steps! She then slammed it over and over again on the steel relentlessly before grabbing her and throwing her HARD into the barricade! She then picked up Samus...AND SPINEBUSTERS HER ON THE FLOOR! Tifa watches all this in the ring...BUT THEN GOT GRABBED FROM BEHIND AND NAILED WITH A HEADLOCK DRIVER!
"OH DAMN! With all the destroying of Samus by Tex on the outside, we forgot about Tifa in the ring, who FORGOT HERSELF about Sally! Headlock Driver to the MAT!" Church called.
"HAH! And that's what happens when you take your eyes off the ball! Tifa..." Sarge began.
Sally covered Tifa!

Tifa kicks out!
"You Just Got...AH CRAP! Tifa kicked out! What a crappy moment indeed!" Sarge exclaimed.
Sally frowned in frustration and looked at the outside, and watched as Tex had lifted up Samus...AND POWERSLAMMED HER ON THE PADDED CONCRETE! Realizing Tex neded to be taken out, Sally slid out of the ring as Tex glared down at Samus angrily before turning...Sally ran at her and threw a right...
...
...Tex CAUGHT the fist! Sally was shocked before being lifted OVERHEAD by Tex...
...
...
...MILITARY PRESS INTO THE STEPS!
"OH SH*T! Now you want to talk about brutal...THAT right there is brutal!" Church winced.
"Oooohhh, the memories...I hate remembering THOSE memories..." Sarge groaned.
Tex glared down at Sally, and then looked in the ring, and decided to finally be in the match she was meant to be in. She slid into the ring, where she was greeted by a Spinning Backfist from Tifa! The Final Fantasy girl then whipped Tex into the ropes and tried for a Back Body Drop as she came back, but Tex caught her with a kick to the face! Tifa stood up, and Tex nailed a lighting quick Twisting Reverse STO! Tex covers Tifa! 1...2...Tifa kicks out! Tex then picks up Tifa and holds her in her arms, and tries for a Fallaway Slam!

...RELEASE TIGER SUPLEX! Tifa was dazed on the mat as she was on all fours KNEE TREMBLER TO THE FACE!
"GOOD LORD! I think my ex-girlfriend may have just knocked Tifa into next week!" Church called.
"Dammit...hate to say this...but Tifa..." Sarge began.
Tex covered Tifa!

Tifa kicks out!
"You Just Got...Wow, Tifa kicked out! Huh...and here I thought Tex had KOed her...huh...I was wrong for once..." Sarge stated.
"For once...? Really...?" Church deadpanned.
Tex shook her head as she picked up Tifa, and lifted her onto her shoulder for the Texas Dominator...
...
...but Tifa slid out of it and landed behind Tex! She bounced off the ropes as Tex turned around AND DISCUS BIG BOOT TO THE JAW! Tifa leaned against a corner, raised her hand...and pulled at the glove on it before tightening it into a fist.
"And I think Tifa wants the KO...she wants the Premium Heart!" Church called.
Tifa waited as Tex slowly got up to her feet. She pushed herself off the mat, and managed to make it to her feet. Tex turned around...
...Tifa spun towards her...
...
...
...TEX DUCKED IT! Tex bounced off the ropes as Tifa turned around...

SAMUS BREAKS UP THE PIN! Samus then picks up Tex and throws her out of the ring!
"You Just Got...SAMUSED! YES! SAMUS SAVES THE DAY! 'ATTA GIRL, SAMUS!" Sarge stated.
"Tex was literally a breath away from winning this match, but Samus stops the count! And now we got a fight on our hands!" Church stated.
Samus exited the ring and was immediately greeted with the fists of Tex which she gladly returned in kind. The crowd cheered loudly as the brawl went on for fifteen seconds until Tex grabbed Samus and threw her head-first into the steel steps once more! Tex ran at her...
...and got Drop Toe Hold into them by Samus! Tex held her face in pain as she stepped around the steps, and Samus quickly grabbed a chair from the ringside and closed it up! She went to Tex...
...AND SLAMMED IT INTO HER BACK HARD! Tex fell to her knees in pain, and Samus SLAMMED IT INTO HER BACK AGAIN! Tex fell down and Samus again slammed it into the back! Samus was about to go for another, but saw Sally incoming and threw the chair INTO SALLY'S FACE!
"Damn, Samus has taken control! She's subdued Tex, and she just knocked Sally for a loop! The silent, but deadly bounty hunter is taking people out here!" Church stated.
"And there's no one better suited for such a task! This is a Metroid Killer at her finest, people! Yes, I know, be jealous. It's common." Sarge stated.
Samus caught a glimpse of Tifa sliding out of the ring holding her torso, who tried to make her way towards Samus, but got caught off with an Elbow Smash by said bounty hunter. The former World Champ picked up Tifa and slammed her head against the announce table, then proceeded to do it several times before picking her up and nailing a Back Suplex on the outside! Samus then motioned for the end and picked up Tifa...
...hooked her arms from behind...
...
...Tifa broke free and pushed Samus away and in front of the barricade!
...
...
...
...TEX FREELANCES SAMUS THROUGH THE BARRICADE!
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! TEX JUST FREELANCED SAMUS TO HOLY HELL! TEX JUST PUT SAMUS THROUGH THE DAMN BARRICADE! OH SH*T!" Church shouted.
"AAAAAHHHH! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT FREELANCER COME FROM?! DAMMIT, TEX JUST POPPED OUT OF NOWHERE AND MURDERED SAMUS! YOU SICK B*TCH!" Sarge exclaimed.
The crowd was going crazy, chanting "Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t!" at what happened as Samus and Tex were laid out among the barricade debris for several seconds until Tex began to stir. She slowly crawled out of the wreckage she created as the crowd cheered on. She managed to make it to her feet...
...
...WHERE SHE WAS GREETED WITH A KICK AND A BLUE BLOOD FROM SALLY!
'"SALLY! SALLY WITH BLUE BLOOD! SALLY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND TOOK OUT TEX!" Church shouted.
"THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DARE DESTORY A RED LIKE THAT! PAYBACK IS A MOTHER, HUH?!" Sarge exclaimed.
The crowd booed loudly as Tex was laid out and Sally stood up with a loud laugh before noticing Tifa getting up. Sally then knocked down Tifa with a hard clothesline, and then picked her up and threw her into the ring! Sally then slid in, picked up Tifa, and nailed a Snap DDT on Tifa! Cover! 1...2...Tifa kicks out! Sally was miffed but picked up Tifa and tried for a Suplex, but Tifa suddenly nailed a knee to the gut, followed by a Swinging Neckbreaker! Tifa panted heavily before getting up and picking up Sally...but then Sally suddenly nailed a Dropkick that sent Tifa into the corner! Sally then readied herself in the opposite corner, and ran at Tifa...
...
...
...
...AND RIGHT INTO A PREMIUM HEART!
"PREMIUM HEART! SALLY RAN RIGHT INTO A FREAKIN' KO FROM TIFA LOCKHART!" Church shouted.
"DAMMIT SALLY, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! THAT WAS THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED!" Sarge exclaimed.
Tifa hooks the leg of Sally!

"And Tifa's going to Final Clash!" Church exclaimed.
("My Last Breath" by Evanescence)
"Here is your winner...and the No. 1 Contender for the Women's Championship...TIFA LOCKHART!"
The crowd exploded into loud cheers as the winner was announced as Tifa rolled off of Sally and panted, trying to regain composure. Slowly, she pushed herself off the mat and onto her feet, where the ref raised her arm in victory. When the ref lowered her arm, Tifa surveyed the damage all around the ring and outside, from Sally KOed in the ring, Samus lied out among the barricade, and Tex nursing her head and neck. Tifa then took a deep breath, taking in the situation before climbing the corner, pointed to the Final Clash sign, and saying "Final Clash...where me and Lightning are heading!"
"Tifa wins! Tifa wins! After one crazy match that saw a person thrown off stage, a Freelancer making an angry comeback, speared through the barricade, Blue Blood on the outside, chairs, and more, Tifa has punched ticket to Final Clash! She gets what she want! A one-on-one match with Lightning...all for the Women's Title!" Church stated.
"And trust me, Tifa will soon regret ever wanting that match in the first place! She may have gotten lucky on this night, but when she faces Lightning, she's going to find out what happens when you mess with the Revolution!" Sarge stated.
"Tifa earned her title shot, and you can only ima-" Church began but...
("Playing the Saint" by Digital Summer)
Tifa snapped her head towards the stage as she got off the turnbuckle, and sure enough, Lightning Farron came out form the back, Women's Title in hand as she stared down Tifa. She kept her eyes on Lockhart as she made her way down the ramp and then slid into the ring, come face-to-face with Tifa. Tifa and Lightning didn't exchange a word, but didn't break eye contact until Lighting slowly looked up to the Final Clash sign. She held her gaze for a few seconds before looking back at Tifa, and then raising her title high into the air for Tifa to see. Tifa looked at the title for a second before back at Lightning, nodding as she continued to stare down with Lightning.
"People...it's official. At Final Clash, the eras of Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy XIII will collide as Tifa Lockhart and Lightning Farron do battle on UCA's biggest stage for the richest prize in the Women's Division." Church stated.
"Oh boy, even I can tell that it will be one hell of a clash when it happens! Especially when these two don't like each other! And it will be a clash that a Revolutionary will come out on top of! Guarantee it!" Sarge stated.
"And let's not forget Tex and Samus. This whole match just added even more fuel to the fire between them. There's no telling what else will happen between them as well. Damn, this is getting intense, and it's only going to get bigger from here on out." Church said.
The camera goes backstage to the hallways once more, and we see Blue Oak walking down the hallways towards the gorilla position, stoic look on his face. However, Simmons came running up to him, stopping him as he had a mic in his hand, while Blue looked displeased at being kept from his course of action.
"Blue! Thank Goodness I found you just in time! I mean seriously, I've been wanting to get an interview before your match, and I am glad I found you just in ti-" Simmons said but was slowly silenced by the dark, dangerous look from Blue that was directed at them. "Ummmmmmm..."
"...Make your questions simple...and short. I have no time to deal with stupid questions..." Blue said, a dark undertone in his voice.
Simmons gulped. "Alright then...well...last night, you broke into the Elimination Chamber, and attacked Red, in the process screwing him out of the World Title. I was wondering if you could give us any words considering that event...Please don't hurt me, I go through enough pain as it is without adding to it."
Simmons cautiously held the mic to Blue, who stared stoically at Simmons for a few seconds, before he finally spoke...
"...Everyone, even Red, thought I wouldn't get into the Chamber. Everyone thought that structure would keep me out, and Red would be on his merry little way to becoming a 9-time Champion. Happy ending for all! ...Shows how much THEY know huh? They underestimated the lengths I am WILLING to go keep the vow I made! I warned everybody...but like always, they didn't listen to me. And Red paid the price for it dearly, being eliminated FIRST, as he should for all that's happened to me." Blue shook his head in hatred before continuing. "And now...I have his full attention. I know for a fact that that bastard is going to come after me for this and more that I've done to him."
"And you know what? ...That's EXACTLY what I want! I want him to come after me, I want him to try and get vengeance. Because when he does, THAT is when I end him once and for all. That is when I validate everything I've gone through for almost two decades, THAT...is when I will finally beat him once and for all. And I don't care what low I will have to go to do so. I don't care what evils I must sink to in order to get what I want, what I NEED! I don't care if I have to be the most sick son of a bitch on this goddamn planet to finally pull it off! I WILL beat Red! And whoever gets in my way will be ANNIHILATED! Whether it be Crash, Shadow, Senji, or even Gary!"
"...Oh Gary...my damn twin brother on Animated." Blue growled in contempt. "He's become a part of my quest for validation, because for so long, I have had to deal with his damn cockiness, his damn jokes! Always lording over his girls, popularity, and success over me, always making fun of me never beating Red while he always beat Ash! He made me feel SO INFERIOR! ...Until it was confirmed...that I had 11 better years to his 6...ELEVEN TO SIX! I HAD THE BETTER CAREER! But then he goes and challenges me to a match at Pride & Glory...a "You're the Better Twin" Match. All to prove he's better than me as usual for him, and to make way for his 100th comeback of his career! Woopeedo! Just great! You know...before a certain point, I would have just settled for beating the crap out of him, making say the wods, and leave it at that! Simple as that...but then he had to go and cut that promo. To show why he's such a cocky badass, he had to go cut the promo...and say the WRONG THING when it came to me..." Blue's tone took an absolutely mental, disturbing look on his face. "...He DARED to put down, insult, and demean the greatest year of my career, 2005..."
"...NOW...Now his fate is sealed just like Red's is. At Pride & Glory...for one night, I will forget about Red and focus on him solely, and I won't just beat him...I am going to MURDER HIM. I am going to destroy every inch of his body, and leave him a bloody, broken mess and force him to say the words he's never wanted to say since we were kids, that I am the better twin! What started in 2006 will end with me coming out on top! And THEN, I'll go on to send Red into a damn retirement home after I give him seventeen years' worth of hell after I beat him 1-2-3! I'll make him unrecognizable to his friends and family! And I will go to ANY length you can think of, no matter what people think of me! BECAUSE I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS LONG ENOUGH! AND WHEN I AM DONE WITH THEM, AND I LEAVE THEM LYING IN THEIR GRAVES, THEY WILL KNOW WHO TO BLAME! THEMSELVES AND EVERYBODY WHO WILL PUSH ME TO THIS POINT! HATE ME IF YOU WANT! I'LL WELCOME IT! CALL ME PYSCHOTIC AND EVIL, MAYBE I AM, BUT IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT FOR THE FATE THAT IS ABOUT TO COME DOWN ON YOU! IF YOU THOUGHT I WAS BAD BEFORE, OH JUST SEE WHAT I DO NEXT, BECAUSE EVEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO!"
Blue breathed heavily before taking back a stoic look, and spoke once more.
"...Soon...it all ends...and I will get what I need...and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it! Want to know why...?"
...
...
...
...
"...Because I'm the BEST in the UNIVERSE...and I swear that I will prove it once and for all."
Blue then left for the gorilla position, leaving a very uncomfortable, shifting Simmons where he was.
"Blue's quest for vengeance and retribution in his mind is getting more and more out of control. Dude's lost it in a big way, he's obsessed to the max." Church stated.
"And I don't blame him one bit! After what Blue has gone through, he has every right to make peoples lives hell, those who have wrong him in so many ways! And he's starting soon enough!" Sarge stated.
"But I have a feeling that what Blue may do in the future may not justify his feelings and reasoning soon enough! Dude's psychotic, even admitted he doesn't know what he'll do next!" Church stated.
"Doesn't matter! The ends justify the means, dirtbag! And trust me when I say that the means will get Blue to his end no matter what! Trust me when I say that Blue's only scratched the surface of what he can do!" Sarge stated.
"Oh boy...at Pride & Glory, he'll deal with Gary, but here in UCA, he's going to focus on Red, as evident by last night's actions. And right now, he's looking to prove he can back up everything he says he will do." Church stated.
("Unsettling Differences" by Blue Smock Nancy)
The crowd booed thunderously at the sound of the music, though a good section could be heard cheering smarkily, and the lights dimmed a dark blue. And soon enough, Blue Oak came out from the back, stoic look and all with a black jacket over his body. He stood on the stage and glared darkly down at the ring before turning his back to it, arms splayed and backed down the ramp, the back of his jacket saying "Best in the Universe" in blue lettering before turning back into the ring. He got on the apron and entered the ring and stood in it, still stoic as ever.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Pallet Town, Kanto, weighing in at 227 lbs., the self-proclaimed "Best in the Universe" Blue Oak!"
"And there's the man we were just talking about, and he's in his first one-on-one match in UCA since returning! Can he put this match in the win column for him and get some momentum for himself?" Church questioned.
"Admittedly, this match alone doesn't mean much to Blue in the long run, but any win is very helpful, and hey, who doesn't love a good bit of momentum? Consider this a demonstration of what Blue is capable of." Sarge stated.
"Blue's opponent won't be Red, but that doesn't mean Blue won't take out some of what he is feeling on his opponent! Whoever is facing Blue better be prepared fully for what they will face!" Church stated.
("Sin with a Grin" by Shinedown)
The crowd cheered loudly as Sly Cooper came out onto the stage, a big grin on his face as he held his trademark cane in his hand, though he held his body slightly in pain. With a sly smirk, he tipped his hat over his eyes and twirled the cane above him for a few seconds before bringing it down to a flash of pyro all around him. Sly then shot his head up and made his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans at ringside, though you could tell that he was still sore from last night. He then got on the apron and climbing up the nearest turnbuckle, raising his cane in the air.
"And his opponent, representing the Sony Saints, from Paris, France, weighing in at 226 lbs., "Thievius Raccoonus" Sly Cooper!"
"And here comes Sly, who last night, competed in the Elimination Chamber Match for the World Title, and as you can see, he is bearing the wounds of war! He was eliminated second by Scourge the Hedgehog! Though some say the reason he wasn't eliminated first was because of the man he is facing, though I am sure Sly would disagree!" Church stated.
"Well I don't, because Sly can thank Blue for not being eliminated first! It's because of Blue that it happened! And for taking on Blue after such a generous thing, I swear, Blue is going to make Sky hurt even more after this match!" Sarge said.
"Sly wants to bounce back from the Chamber loss, and you can bet a victory over Blue will go a long way in doing that! But the self-proclaimed "Best in the Universe" isn't going to go down that easily!" Church said.
The ref checked on them before ringing bell, and the two engaged in a lock-up, which Blue transitioned into a Front Facelock, dropping a few hard elbows on the body of Sly. Sly slowly stood up with Blue in tow, and then spun out of hold, and nailed a Shoot Kick to the chest! Sly then nailed a Snapmare and locked in a Chinlock, pulling back the head! Blue gritted his teeth as he managed to stand up, though Sly still held the head, but then Blue trips him up with his arm! Sly rolls back to his feet, but a nasty Forearm to the face, then Blue grabbed the head and nailed a Jumping Knee to the skull! Sly backed into the ropes dazed, and Blue clotheslined him over the ropes! Blue slid outside, picked up Sly, and threw him face-first into the steel post! Sly held his face in pain on the ground, but Blue picked him up again, and Back Suplex against the barricade! Sly held his back in pain, and slowly sat against the barricade! Blue then backed up, ran, and crushed Sly's head against the barricade with his knee!
"Good God, the viciousness! Blue's treating Sly as if he were Red right now!" Church stated.
"Well Red ain't here right now, so imagining Sly as Red is the next best thing!" Sarge proclaimed.
Blue picked up Sly and threw him into the ring, and slid back in and stomped on Sly's face. He picked up Sly and threw him into the corner, and the Blue ran at him! Sly though caught Blue with a Thrust Kick to the gut, causing him to back up doubled over, then leaped over him in a Sunset Flip Pin! 1...2...Blue rolls backwards and grabs the legs! He sets Sly, positions them, and then launches Sly into the corner! Sly lands on the second turnbuckle though, and nails a Springboard Back Elbow as soon as Blue stands up! Blue stood up, and Sly quickly nailed a Snap Hurricarana! Sly hooks the leg in a Rana Pin! 1...2...Blue kicks out! Sly lifts up Blue, but Blue suddenly grabs Sly's head and pulls him down, rolling over and getting on top of him! He then stood up with Sly, lifted him, and Suplex Backbreaker across the knee! Sly arched his back before Blue bounced off the ropes and nailed a Double Foot Stomp! Blue hooks the leg! 1...2...Sly kicks out!
"Sly was getting a good thing going, but Blue stops him in his tracks just like that!" Church said.
"This dirty Saint can have his moments of offense, but you can't just outdo the Best! That's a fact!" Sarge said.
Blue doesn't waste time in nailing vicious fists to the skull of Sly several times before picking him up and whipping him into the ropes. Sly bounced off the ropes, and slid between Blue's leg as he did so. Sly stood and Dropkicked Blue's back, sending him into the ropes, and the Oak bounced off the ropes chest-first, and right into an Enziguri to the back of the head! Blue fell face-first on the mat, and Sly nailed a Standing Moonsault to the back! Blue groaned in pain and tried to get back up to his feet...
...and got a Leapfrog Famousser from Sly!
"And there goes a Leapfrog Famousser from Sly! Blue gets planted on his face!" Church stated.
"Damn, Sly's actually putting up a fight! Guess dirty Blues like them will fight even a losing battle!" Sarge said.
Sly pinned Blue!

Blue kicks out!
"But the self-proclaimed Best isn't going to let himself get beat that easily!" Church stated.
Sly picked up Blue and nailed a Spinning Thrust Kick to his gut, followed by a Snap Suplex! Sly then went over to the corner, climbed it with his back turned off, flipped off it...
...Blue rolled out of the way of the Moonsault! Sly landed on his feet as Blue stood up, and the Oak ran at Sly! The thief leapedfrogged over Sly...but Blue CAUGHT Sly on his shoulders instead! Sly struggled, but Blue held onto him and flipped him off...
...Sly landed on his feet, quickly bouncing off the ropes as he did so back to Blue! He then held onto Blue and then Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors Takedown!
...But Blue held onto Sly as he went for the Headscissors...and then got free and nailed a Pendulum Backbreaker!
"Damn, what a sequence of moves! Sly and Blue exchanging moves until Blue catches Sly with that Pendulum Backbreaker!" Church stated.
"Hah! Only the Best could have pulled that off! That's the skill of Blue at work! What a great Red! Wish he didn't have Blue as his name though. Would be better for him." Sarge stated.
Blue covers Sly!

Sly kicks out!
Blue picks up Sly, lifted him into a Suplex, and then dropped his body against the ropes. Blue then bounced off other ropes, and nailed a Swinging Neckbreaker on Sly off the ropes! Blue then grabbed the leg, and turned Sly over into a Single-Leg Boston Crab, pulling back on the leg, looking for the submission victory! Sly gritted his teeth in pain as he felt the pull on his leg, but shook his head in refusal to give up. After a few moments of enduring this, Sly pushed his body off the mat, slowly turned themselves over, and kicked Blue several times away, forcing him to let go! Both men got up, and Sly threw a clothesline, but Blue ducked the clothesline, and nailed a Snap Neckbreaker...
...but Blue held onto Sly's head, stood up with Sly in tow, and held onto him...
...
...BLUE DRI-NO! Sly landed behind Blue, and quickly nailed an Reverse Sit-out Mat Slam! Sly then ran at the ropes...SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!
"Oh, Springboard Moonsault off the Edge-O-Matic! Sly hooking the outside leg!" Church stated.

Blue kicks out!
"Oh, Blue kicks out! Thank Goodness for that! Sly as always, tried to steal one! Blue wasn't letting that happen!" Sarge stated.
Blue managed to get to his knees, but Sly bounced off the ropes and nailed a Front Dropkick to the face, dropping him! Sly covered Blue! 1...2...Blue kicks out! Sly picked him up and whipped him into a corner, and Sly ran and leaped at him, and then nailed a Monkey Flip! Sly then went to Blue and nailed a Twisting Leg Drop across the throat! Another cover! 1...2..Another kick out! Sly picked up Blue, but suddenly got lifted up by the legs...
...
...ALABAMA SLAM! Blue then went over to the corner, and managed to climb it to the top! He stood tall, dived off...
...
...SLY GOT THE KNEES UP! Blue's elbow crashed onto them, and he held his elbow as he stood up...
...
...SLY QUICKLY NAILED A FACEBREAKER DDT!
"And Sly just drops Blue's face across his knee in one HELL of a way!" Church stated.
"Dammit, that shouldn't be happening! Not with Sly of all people on BLUE!" Sarge exclaimed.
Sly covers Blue!

Blue kicks out!
"And Blue kicks out again! Blue again refusing tonight to lose! Not with what's ahead of him!" Churhc said.
Sly sighed before picking up Blue and going over to a corner and placing on the top turnbuckle. Sly quickly climbed up their with him, set him up...
...but Blue caught Sly in the gut with a punch, doubling him over! Blue then nailed a couple of Bionic Elbows to the skull of Sly, finally getting him dazed! Blue stood up slowly, setting Sly up...
...
...
...SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
"OH DAMN! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB OFF THE TOP ROPE! CALLBACK TO HIS CRUISERWEIGHT DAYS!" Church shouted.
"OH YEAH! That's what I am talking about! Sly..." Sarge began.
Blue had Sly pinned!

Sly kicks out!
"You Just Got...Ah dammit, Sly kicked out! What a bummer..." Sarge grumbled.
Blue growled at the kickout before picking up Sly and dragging him to the center of the ring. He hooked Sly by the arms...lifted him up...
...
...
...Sly flipped out of the Shell Shock DDT and landed on his feet! He leaped at the ropes as Blue turned around...
...

...Sly spins out of the finisher, then ducks a clothesline! Sly leaps at the ropes...NINJA SPIRE KICK CONNECTS!
"THE NINJA SPIRE KICK! Sly finally got it on Blue Oak! Blue may be out cold!" Church stated.
"Oh dammit! No, no, no, no, NO!" Sarge exclaimed.
Sly hooks the leg!

"And Blue manages to kick out of the Ninja Spire Kick! Sly so close right there!" Church stated.
"TOO CLOSE! I swear, if Sly wins, there will be HELL to pay! What line of thinking has SLY BEATING BLUE?!" Sarge questioned.
Sly shook his head before standing up and waiting for Blue to stand. The Oak slowly made it to his feet, and Sly leaped at the ropes...Blue DUCKED the Ninja Spire Kick this time! Sly landed on his feet, and turned around, and got tripped up by Blue! Sly struggled against Blue's grip on his legs and kicked him away! Sly rolled onto his feet, and quickly slipped behind an incoming Blue, Inverted Facelocks the head...
...
...
...
...BLUE SPINS OUT OF IT! Blue pulls Sly towards him, quickly sets him up...AND CHAMPION'S BLAST CONNECTS!
"CHAMPION'S BLAST! Blue nails it out of nowhere!" Church called.
"And what comes next is..." Sarge trailed off.
Sly held his body in pain as he stumbled to his feet...right into his arms being hooked by Blue...
...
...being lifted up...
...
...
...

...AND DROPPED WITH THE SHELL SHOCK DDT!
"BOOM! THE SHELL SHOCK DDT! Another Saint put down! Sly..." Sarge began.

"You Just Got Sarge'd!" Sarge finished.
("Unsettling Differences" by Blue Smock Nancy)
"Here is your winner, Blue Oak!"
The crowd booed loudly as Blue pushed the leg he hooked away and sat up, the scowl still on his face. He stood up to his feet, and the ref raised his arm in victory as he glanced down at Sly for a second before pulling arm away and leaned against the ropes, the brooding and dark look never leaving his face.
"And Blue picks up the victory here tonight, and proves that he still can go and get the job done! Though it's obvious that the victory does nothing for him personally! No, there's likely only ONE victory that matters to him at this point!" Church stated.
"That's right, and THAT is the victory over Red!" Sarge stated. "The victory that has been wrongfully kept from him for seventeen years is what he deserves! And he'll get it! No matter what Red can ever hope to d-"
("Trainer Red Theme" from Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver)
"Ooooooohhhhh SH*T!" Church shouted.
The crowd exploded into thunderous cheers as Blue snapped his head towards the stage...
...
...
...as RED walks out from the back, anger and hatred in his eyes as he took off his hat and vest and threw them down to the ground, eyes staying focused on Blue!
"IT'S RED! IT'S RED! AND SOMETHING TELLS ME HE AIN'T HERE TO TRY AND END THINGS PEACEFULLY AFTER WHAT HAPPENED AT LAST STAND!" Church shouted.
"WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CLUE DIRTBAG?! THAT RED IS HERE FOR A FIGHT, AND DAMMIT, WE ARE GOING TO GET ONE!" Sarge shouted as well.
Blue was not backing down one bit as he practically shouted at Red, begging for him to get in here, wanting Red in the worst way. The Pokémon Master obviously obliged as he stomped his way down the ramp...before going to a full-blown SPRINT DOWN THE RAMP...
...
...
...
...
...AND RED SLIDES INTO THE RING AND BEGINS FIGHTING BLUE! THE TWO EXCHANGE FURIOUS BLOWS AS THE CROWD SIMPLY EXPLODES!
"RED ON BLUE! BLUE ON RED! IT'S EXPLODED HERE IN SPRINGFIELD! THE POKEMON MASTER AND BEST IN THE UNIVERSE ARE GOING AT IT AS IF NOTHING ELSE MATTERS! HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE!" Church shouted.
"THIS CROWD IS GOING CRAZY, AND FOR ONCE, I DON'T BLAME THEM! I AM LOVING THIS HERE, THESE TWO HATE EACH OTHER, AND THEY ARE SHOWING IT HERE! SEVENTEEN YEARS IS EXPLODING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!" Sarge exclaimed.
Red and Blue continued exchanging angry fists between each other, beating the hell out of each other until Red tackled down Bleu and rained down fists on him, hatred in his eyes evident! Blue managed to get a few shots in from his position before rolling them over and now having the mounted position with the fists being rained down! They eventually got up, and Blue rammed Red into the corner and the two continued to come to blows even more, until Red grabbed Blue and threw him out of the ring! Red exited the ring and two continued to fight even more, crashing into the apron, barricade, steel steps and more around the ringside, their fight getting more and more out of control as time went on! Blue rammed Red into the barricade, but Red managed to tackle Blue into the apron! The two were practically beating their fists into each other's skull...
...
...
...until security finally came down, feeling enough was enough and converged on the two, managing to pull them away from each other! The crowd hated on this, chanting "LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!" wanting to see more of the fight.
"SECURITY IS HERE! SECURITY IS HERE TO BREAK UP THIS FIGHT! AND THIS CROWD DOESN'T LIKE THAT ONE BIT! THEY WANT TO SEE THESE TWO TEAR EACH OTHER APART!" Church shouted.
"THIS ENTIRE FIGHT WAS STARTING TO GO OUT OF CONTROL! THESE TWO DESPISE EACH OTHER SHOW, AND IT SHOWED IN THE BRAWL THAT JUST TOOK PLACE!" Sarge also exclaimed.
Red and Blue were practically struggling and fighting against security in order to try and get to each other! The crowd kept chanting for them to fight, but the security kept them away from each other...
...
...
...
...UNTIL RED BROKE FREE AND WENT AFTER BLUE, RAINING DOWN FISTS EVEN MORE! The crowd exploded as Blue managed to retaliate even more as security converged on them once more! They managed to pull Red off Blue and pulled him into the ring as the rest of security dragged Blue around the ringside towards the ramp! Red continued to struggle, trying to break free...
...
...
...
...AND BLUE HIMSELF BROKE FREE THIS TIME AND SLID INTO THE RING! He ran at Red and jumped on Red, taking him down through security and punching his lights out!
"RED AND BLUE! RED AND BLUE ARE BREAKING THROUGH SECURITY! THEIR FIGHT WILL NOT BE STOPPED! THEY WANT EACH OTHER BAD!" Church exclaimed.
"NOT EVEN PEOPLE MEANT TO KEEP PEOPLE AWAY CAN STOP THESE TWO! THESE TWO ARE FULL OF RED HATRED! THEY ARE FULL OF THE DESIRE TO DESTROY EACH OTHER! AND DAMMIT, WE ARE SEEING IT HERE!" Sarge shouted.
Blue and Red kept going at each other, security trying to pull them apart, but they would not be separated so easily this time around...
...
...
...and now WRESTLERS such as Link, the other Sony Saints, Scourge, Luigi, Robin, Yoshi, and more came down the ramp and slid into the ring, helping to separate Red and Blue! With their support, they managed to get Blue away from Red and pulled him out of the ring and tried for up the ramp! Blue thrashed in their hold, shouting "LET ME GO, YOU BASTARDS! LET ME AT THAT SON OF A B*TCH!", though they would not let go...
...
...
...
...RED NAILS A SUICIDE DIVE ON BLUE AND THE PEOPLE HOLDING, BRINGING THEM ALL DOWN! Everyone goes down as Red goes over Blue and keeps with the fists over the skull as the men in the ring slide out and pulled Red off of Blue and away from him! Red struggled against them, even trying to PUNCH a few of them to break free...
...
...AND WAS TACKLED DOWN BY BLUE! The fight again resumed, but this time everyone pulled the two away from each other as Blue was dragged up the ramp, and Red was kept in place, the two shouting obscenities and trying to break free!
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THIS IS COMPLTE CHAOS! RED AND BLUE CANNOT BE CONTAINED! THEY WANT TO SEND EACH OTHER TO THE PITS OF-"
"ENOUGH! THAT IS ENOUGH!"
Everyone shot their heads towards the stage...where they saw Force the Fox walking down the rampway with an angry and damn near frustrated look on his face as he got between the two men and their captors.
"IT'S FORCE! FORCE IS HERE, AND I THINK HE HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THIS ENTIRE DAMN DEAL!" Church exclaimed.
"THAT'S IT! THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH!" Force shouted, anger in his voice as Red and Blue kept trying to break free, though eyes were still on him. "THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR OUT OF CONTROL, AND I WON'T LET THIS KEEP HAPPENING! FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS, YOU'VE BEEN AT THIS TIME AND AGAIN! AND AFTER THESE PAST FEW MONTHS, IT'S TIME FOR IT TO BE OVER! YOU TWO WANT TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER?! YOU TWO WANT TO LEAVE EACH OTHER BROKEN?! YOU WANT TO FINALLY END THIS?! WELL YOU'LL GET YOUR WISH! BECAUSE AT FINAL CLASH, THIS WILL END AS IT WILL BE THE POKEMON MASTER, RED...VERSUS...THE BEST IN THE UNIVERSE, BLUE..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"HELL...IN...A...CELL!"
"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!" Church exclaimed.
The crowd practically BLEW THE ROOF off the damn arena at the announcement, and Red and Blue weren't even shocked...in fact, they seemed to WELCOME the damn match! They continued to thrash around amid the resistance, Red shouting at Blue from in front of the ring "I'M ENDING THIS AT FINAL CLASH! ONCE AND FOR DAMN ALL!" Blue shouted back as he was dragged up the ramp "I AM GOING TO SEND YOU TO HELL, AND LEAVE YOU THERE! MARK MY WORDS!" The crowd continued to roar in excitement as Force just stood there, a strict frown on his face as he shook his head.
"MY GOD, I DON'T BELIEVE IT! FORCE HAS JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL! RED VS BLUE, ONE MORE TIME! THE THIRD IN THEIR FINAL CLASH TRILOGY! AND IT WILL BE INSIDE SATAN'S STRUCTURE! RED AND BLUE ARE GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO HELL TO END IT ALL!" Church shouted.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT DAMN FOX ACTUALLY DID THIS! HE'S PUTTING THESE TWO IN THE MOST DANGEROUS STRUCTURE IMAGINABLE! FORCE IS SENDING THEM TO HELL ITSELF!" Sarge exclaimed.
"FINAL CLASH...THE END OF ERA...FOR UCA, POKEMON, AND FICTION WRESTLING! RED AND BLUE SETTLE THE SCORE ONCE AND FOR IN HELL IN A CELL IN FIVE WEEKS!" Church shouted.
UCA Rewind: Final Clash 2005
Stealing the Show One Final Time
"Sailor Mars...hands down the best in-ring performer, men or female, this company has ever seen." Force stated, honesty in his voice. "There was nobody who stole the show more times than her in UCA. Nobody else who gave so much to produce classic after classic like her, and with as much passion and love for the business and fans than her. She was such an integral part to the company, she was, through and through, a Senshi Showstopper.
"She was the Heart and Soul of the Women's Division, she helped the Women's Division get out of the gate and to great heights back in the 90s. She's one of the best of all time, and she loved UCA as much as it loved her back. Which is why, when the day came, it was one of the hardest events to ever go through for a lot of people." Amy said.
Clad in her Eternal Sailor attire, Sailor Mars walked down the rampway and stood in front of the ring, taking a deep breath knowing what was next. She walked up the steel steps, and quickly entered the ring, standing in the middle of it and striking her Sailor Scout pose. The crowd ate it up, but at the same time it was accompanied by chants of "PLEASE DON'T GO! PLEASE DON'T GO!" Mars smiled sadly at them before closing her eyes, and taking in the air around one final time.
"Everybody, it's time. Time for the career of one of the greatest female wrestlers to reach its end here in UCA. This...is Sailor Mars' last hurrah, and she is looking to go out with a bang."
"She was the last of an era in UCA in her mind." Force stated. "See, her only other workplace at the time, WCW, which she loved just as much as UCA, closed its doors four years prior to this, leaving just UCA. And in UCA, everyone else from or around her time was gone. Sonya Blade, Chun-Li, Android 18, Peach, Zelda...they were all gone. She was the last. And she felt it was time for her to hang up the boots, no matter how much she didn't want to, and pass on the torch. But in typical Mars fashion, she was going to go out in show-stealing fashion. And one person got the chance to do that with her on that night..."
"Facing Mars in her last UCA match, at the time her last match ever, was both an honor...and one of the toughest things to do. Because I was helping to end one of the greatest careers that UCA had to see, and despite knowing I would be her last match, it was a hard pill to swallow to know what I was doing." Tifa stated.
Tifa stared down Mars in the middle of the ring as the crowd around them was raucous, the entire situation being surreal to them. Mars stared back at Tifa...and held out her hand towards the Final Fantasy girl. Tifa looked down at it...and shook the hand in a sign of honor and respect. Mars said to Tifa "Don't hesitate, and don't hold back. Let's steal the show" before backing up. The two circled each other, and locked-up...
"The match they had...pure magic." Amy stated.
"That match was AWESOME! Five-stars through and through!" Green chuckled.
"It was like they clicked into another gear, and just kept on running...everything worked on that night." Kiva stated.
Clips flash in rapid fashion: Mars catching Tifa with an Arm Drag; Tifa nailing a quick Sleeper Slam on Mars; Mars with a Corkscrew Neckbreaker on Tifa; Tifa turns Mars inside out with a Discus Lariat; Mars hits a Diving Hurricarana; Tifa nails a Bicycle Kick!

Tifa has Mars set up on the outside, and lifts her up into a Powerbomb! However, Mars suddenly reaches up and grabs the top rope of the ring from her position...
...and pulls herself OFF OF TIFA'S SHOULDERS AND SKINS THE CAT BACK INTO THE RING! Tifa was stunned, until she got a Dropkick through the ropes and into the barricade! Tifa held her back as Mars grabs the ropes...
...AND NAILS A CROSSBODY PLANCHA ON TIFA!
...
Mars stomps her foot as Tifa turns around, and she skips and lifts her foot up...TIFA CATCHES THE MARS FIRE IGNITE! Tifa then spin her around by the leg, then spins herself...
...MARS DUCKS THE PREMIUM HEART! She then leaps at her from behind, hooks the arm, and pulls her down into a Crucifix Pin!
...TIFA ROLLS THROUGH WITH MARS ON HER SHOULDERS! She stands up...DEATH VALLEY DRIVER CONNECTS!
...
Tifa has Mars on top and climbs up there with her! She nails a few rights to the face, before lifting her onto her shoulders for a Limit Break...
...Mars however, nails a few elbows to the skull of Tifa, dazing her! She then manages to push herself to a seated position on Tifa's shoulders...
...SUPER INVERTED HURRICARANA FROM MARS!
...
Mars is on the apron as Tifa stands to her feet, leaps on the ropes...Springboard Crossbody! ...But Tifa rolls out of the way and out of the ring!
...Mars manages to land on her feet and sees Tifa on the outside! She bounces off the ropes, dives through the ropes...
...TIFA CATCHES HER IN MID-AIR WITH A POWERSOUL ON THE OUTSIDE!
"THIS MATCH IS UNBELIEVABLE! THESE TWO WOMEN ARE STEALING THE SHOW! GIVING THEIR SWEAT AND TEARS TO PUT ON A MATCH FOR THE AGES!" Church shouted.
"It was a match that tugged at everybody's hearts, and nobody wanted it to end." Amy stated. "Not just because the match was amazing, but because when it ended, Mars would be gone. And EVERYBODY, INCLUDING TIFA, did their best to delay that...to keep the match going as long as it could."
Tifa slumped into the corner, and Mars ran at her...AND GOT A ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM LOCKHART! Mars spun away from Tifa due to the impact, dazed on her feet! And Tifa ran and spun in a circle with her fist...
...
...RIGHT INTO A MARS FIRE IGNITE!
"MARS FIRE IGNITE! TIFA PRACTICALLY SPUN INTO THAT SUPERKICK!" Church shouted.
"OH DAMN! THAT'S GOTTA BE IT! Tifa..." Sarge began.
Mars dropped and laid an arm over Tifa!
1...2...TIFA KICKS OUT!
"You Just Got...NOT SARGE'D! SHE KICKED OUT! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" Sarge exclaimed.
...
Tifa was dazed as she stood, and GOT A DIVING CLOTHESLINE! Mars then went and grabbed the legs, but Tifa struggled, and managed to kick Mars away! Tifa stood up...
...
...BURNING BARRA-NO! Tifa caught the last kick of the sequence, AND THEN DROPPPED MARS WITH A FISHERMAN DRIVER!
...
Tifa nailed a Spinning Thrust Kick to the gut, doubling over Mars, then bounced off the ropes...
...
...Front Dropki-Mars moved out of the way! Tifa landed on her back AND MARS ROLLS OVER, GRABS THE LEGS AND LOCKS IN THE BEETLE LOCK OF TED KORD! The crowd was in panic, chanting "PLEASE DON'T TAP!" as Tifa cried out in agony!
...
Tifa Back Droppped Mars over the ropes, but the Scout landed on the apron, and nailed a Hotshot against the ropes! Mars then Slingshot over the ropes...
...
...AND TIFA CATCHES HER WITH A PREMIUM HEART! The crowd explodes in shock as Mars tumbles over to the outside and lands on the floor KOed!
"PREMIUM HEART! PREMIUM HEART! MARS JUST KNOCKED OUT BY TIFA! JUST LIKE THAT!" Church exclaimed.
"BUT SHE GOT SENT OUTSIDE! TIFA CAN'T CAPITALIZE!" Sarge shouted.
"Sometimes, I like to think that Premium Heart from Tifa the first time was done that way so she wouldn't HAVE to capitalize and pin Tifa off it! Again...Tifa didn't want this to end anymore than anyone else did..." Green stated.
Tifa gingerly climbed up the corner, exhausted out of her mind from the match. Mars was pushing herself off the mat, only half-aware of where she was. Tifa stood tall as Mars stood, and dived off...
...
...MARS CAUGHT TIFA IN MID-AIR WITH THE MARS FIRE IGNITE! THE CROWD EXPLODES AS TIFA IS LAID OUT AND MARS COLLAPSES IN EXHAUSTION!
"OH MY GOD! MARS JUST PICKED TIFA OUT OF THE DAMN AIR WITH THAT MARS FIRE IGNITE! TIFA HAS JUST BEEN SUPERKICKED TO HELL!" Church exclaimed in shock.
"MARS DID IT OUT INSTINCT! BUT LOOK AT THE BLUE, MARS! SHE CAN'T GET THE PIN! SHE'S SPENT EVERYTHING! THEY BOTH HAVE!" Sarge shouted.
"DAMN...that Superkick in mid-air...I swear, I think Tifa's head was sent to the moon! EVERYONE thought that was it, but Mars just couldn't pin her...too exhausted to do so...but it all came down to the moment..." Force stated.
Mars stomps her foot faster and faster in the corner, the crowd eagerly waiting for what was to come. Tifa slowly stood up, and Mars skipped as she turned around...lifted her foot...
...
...SUPERKICK DUCKED! Mars turned around AND ROUNDHOUSE TO THE SKULL! Mars was stunned on her feet AND THEN GOT A POP-UP EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! The crowd exploded in shock as Mars was down and Tifa practically stumbled down into the corner! Tifa panted heavily as she watched Mars on the ground, slowly stirring, and then pulled herself up the corner! Standing up but with a tired posture, she raised her fist...clenched it, and brought it down!
...but then looked at the fist in uncertainty, hesitation crossing her face.
"HUH? What the hell...what is Tifa doing?! She has Mars where she wants her! She has her BEAT!" Sarge stated.
"That's the thing! I don't know if she WANTS to win or end this match! She doesn't want to end Mars' career! She doesn't want to help bring an end to Mars in UCA! She's not sure if she can do that!" Church stated.
Tifa continued to look at her fist, unsure if she can do it...
...until Mars managed to get out "What are you waiting for?" as she slowly pushed herself off the mat with all he remaining strength. Tifa looked at her in surprise as Mars was on her knees and said "Do it, Tifa! Do it! Don't try and delay it!" Tifa looked uncertain, and Mars said "Everything's got to end sometime...this is my end...please...give me a good ending ." Tifa closed her eyes, took a deep breath as Mars stood...
...
...
...AND THEN NAILED THE PREMIUM HEART TO MARS! The crowd shouted "NOOOOO!" as Mars fell flat on her back!
"PREMIUM HEART! MARS WANTED IT! MARS GOT IT!" Church exclaimed.
"AND THAT HAS TO BE IT! Sailor Mars, for the last time..." Sarge began.
Tifa dropped down and hooked the leg!
1...2...3!
"You Just Got Sarge'd!"
"Here is your winner...TIFA LOCKHART!"
"And that was the end...the end of a match that won Match of the Year honors for several publications, and the end of a legendary career within UCA." Force stated. "Nobody wanted it to end...but it had to. That's how Mars felt, and Tifa gave it to her as she wanted. It was such a sad thing for many people when it did happen...but what happened afterward was so emotional..."
Tifa looked down at Mars, and slowly helped her up to her feet. The Scout managed to stand on her own two feet despite the exhaustion she had, and looked at Tifa dead in the eye, and said "Thank you...for giving me the best last match I could have..." And Tifa replied "No...thank you...for everything..."
...Tifa and Mars then hugged in the ring, prompting the crowd to applaud and cheer at this display of respect and emotion. Tifa pulled away, and then raised Mars' arm as if she were the victor...and maybe she was in some people's minds. Tifa then backed away, and clapped in respect for the Senshi Showstopper, and soon the crowd followed. With a nod, Tifa exited the ring and then left up the ramp, leaving Mars to have her final moment. Mars stood in the middle of the ring, and looked out to the crowd, as they applauded her and chanted "WE WILL MISS YOU! WE WILL MISS YOU!" Mars then slowly broke down crying, emotion overtaking her as she realized this was her end in UCA. She then resolved herself...
...and struck her Scout pose one final time, the crowd eating it up and chanting "MARS! MARS! MARS! MARS!"
"It was an emotional end to a great career in UCA, and I don't think Mars would have had it any other way now that I look back on it." Tifa stated. "It was tough at the moment to do what I did, but nowadays, I realize that it was a honor to give Mars the best ending possible her career. Ken Anarchy, the insane bastard, may have been able to get Mars into WCW: Showdown for one final run...but as far as UCA is concerned, Mars had her ending match, and she couldn't be happier with it."
"Mars did so much for UCA and the Women's Division, and she will never be forgotten. She's going into our Hall of Fame this year, and she DAMN SURE deserves it! Many have made their mark in UCA, many have become legends here...but as far as UCA is concerned, there will be only ONE Senshi Showstopper...and we wouldn't have it any other way." Force stated.
The final shot is of Sailor Mars kneeling down on the Final Clash stage, tears spilling from her eyes as she smiled with emotion, the crowd chanting "THANK YOU MARS! THANK YOU MARS!" as loud as they could.
A/N: AND IT'S DONE! MUCH FASTER THIS TIME AROUND! The UCA Rewind was a little longer than I thought it would be, but I am happy with how it turned out! I hope you are all satisfied with it as well, as with the rest of the chapter! This chapter has been one I've been wanting to do for a long time! Lots of development and matches for Final Clash made! And with only one part for this week done, you can bet that something else big will happen there! And I hope to get that part done soon!
As always, if you have any suggestions, let me know via PM, and I may consider them at the least. Hope you enjoyed the chapter, and make sure to leave reviews, because reviews are loved and appreciated! Until next time!
