Circling your, circling your, circling your head,

(The screen shows Senji smirking out to the crowd from in the ring)

Contemplating everything you ever said

(The screen shows Blue brooding on the stage with a stoic look on his face)

Now I see the truth, I got doubt

(The screen shows Red hitting the Poke-Flow on Johnny Cage)

A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out

(The screen shows Kiva hitting the XLR on Mandy)

See you later

(The screen shows Starforce Megaman punting Fox in the skull)

I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold

(The screen shows Tidus on top of a ladder with the Cruiserweight Title raised high)

See inside, inside of our heads (yeah)

(The screen shows Ben Tennyson holding up the Hardcore Title while holding his head)

Well now that's over

(The screen shows Bowser giving a great roar out to his opponent)

I see your motives inside, decisions to hide

(The screen shows Lightning staring down Tifa in the ring with her Women's Title)

Back off I'll take you on

(The screen shows Crash nailing a leg drop on Scourge from the chain roof)

Headstrong to take on anyone

(The screen shows Sonic nailing Bowser in the back with a chair)

I know that you are wrong

(The screen shows Scourge posing on the turnbuckle with his hands raised in rock horns)

And this is not where you belong

(The screen shows Mario hitting the Super Mario Splash on Sonic and then raising the UCA World Championship overhead)

("Headstrong" by Trapt plays over the loudspeakers)

The crowd exploded into thunderous cheers as the music played, fireworks going off around the Titantron in spectacular fashion. The colors red, blue, and gold decorated the fireworks as they began going off in machine-gun fashion on the stage, before circling the Titantron, and then giving off one final blast of fireworks before the lights turned on. The crowd was going crazy as the camera went over them, the fans holding signs such as "Marry Me, Tifa!", "Tables, Ladders, and Chairs! Oh My!", "Star Fox is Back, Motherf'ers!" and "The Resurrection Will Bowl Mario Over!" The camera then went to Church and Sarge at ringside.

"Hey everybody! WELCOME to Monday Night Flame and UCA! We are live from Jubilife City here in the Sinnoh Region! I'm Leonard Church alongside Sarge, and we are here for another stop on the Path to Final Clash!" Church stated.

"Damn right we are, and we got ourselves a heck of a show tonight! We got the competitors of the Intercontinental Title Match at Final Clash against each other as Hope takes on Chaos and Jason faces Shadow! And I can tell you right now, Hope and Shadow...already DOOMED!" Sarge exclaimed.

"And we also have Sora taking on Robin who is determined to take down his losing streak once and for all! But Sora is looking to build even MORE momentum tonight on his way to facing Tidus, and considering his two previous wins over Robin, he looks to make it a trifecta!" Church stated. "And then there's also Tifa and Tex teaming up against their Final Clash opponents in what is going to be a monumental match!"

"And there's also Red's first match after that damn promo of his, and there's no telling what's going to happen there, and also the main event, Senji vs. Wolfgang!" Sarge stated. "And let me tell you, it will certainly be a Red night for all!"

("Resurrected" by Peroxywhy?gen)

"And look who we're starting out with here!" Church exclaimed.

Matt came out in his casual clothing as his music played, but unlike last week, there wasn't a relaxed or even cool demeanor to him. No, there was a dead-serious, PISSED feeling about him as he looked out to everybody before making his way down the ramp. Quickly grabbing a mic from a ringside attendant, he entered the ring and simply stood in the center of it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the UCA Royal Rumble Winner, Matt Ishida!"

"Matt's here to open the show again, but unlike last week, he's NOT in a good mood! And I think a lot of that has to do with what went down after last week's main event. And quite frankly, I'd be pissed too..." Church said.

"Why? Mario told the truth! If Matt's going to get angry over the truth, then he's nothing more than a whiny Blue! Matt should start a new trend for whiny Blues! HEY, CAN SOMEONE PUT MATT AS THE TRENDSETTER HERE?!" Sarge shouted.

"...Oh my God, I am surrounded by idiots." Church groaned. "Seriously...what the hell? Just...whatever...but Matt's obviously got something to say. And it's quite a bit considering the look on his face."

Matt looked out to the crowd with a stoic, but angry look on his face before speaking. "You know...it's funny. Last week...I started this damn show last week like I am right now. The only thing being different...is that I was in a pretty good mood last week. But man oh man...how much a week, a NIGHT, can change that. See because in case any of you didn't notice by now...I'M PISSED. Yeah, I'm freakin' pissed, when I SHOULD be in a good mood after what I managed to do. And you want to know why that is? Simple...because Mario decided to be a bitter, delusional old ass who can't take a loss like a man and to make this PERSONAL. Because Mario decided to try and crap on me and tell me I can't be a top guy in the business because I'm not TAI..." That earned boos from the crowd as Matt frowned. "He even attacked my past relationship with Sora, and then topped it off by clocking me with his Belt and hitting a Super Mario Splash. So yeah, my night ended in a pretty crappy manner last week. And I've had seven days to think about all of that for this moment..."

Matt paused for a moment before continuing. "Well I'll say this...I'm NOT Tai, alright? I don't have his brown spiky hair, I don't have his goggles, I don't have his recklessness, I'm not the leader of the Destined, I don't have his main character status, and I'm not the XCW World Heavyweight Champion. ...But I'll tell you who I AM...I'M MATT FREAKIN' ISHIDA! I'm the guy that will rock out and give you a show like no other with my guitar and band! I'm the guy that took it to the extreme in the Attitude Era and made my own mark then! I'm the guy that showed that a supporting character CAN make it when I won the Toon Title in 2005! I'm the guy that took down everyone in my way as Toon World Champion in 2009 and was the hottest thing going! I'm the guy that came back despite every odd to go the distance and win the Rumble from No. 2 and become No. 28 in the PWI Rankings! And I'm the guy that's GONNA KICK YOUR ASS FROM HERE TO KINGDOM COME AT FINAL CLASH!"

The crowd exploded at the proclamation as Matt had an intense expression. "And as far as that 'bed' insult about my past relationship goes? ...Well considering your marriage, we shouldn't be surprised you try to project your failures onto me."

The crowd went "OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!" at the jab but Matt wasn't stopping. "You say you want to KILL the Resurrection? ...Well Mario, like I said, I DARE YOU to try it. Because at the end of the day, the thing that's getting killed isn't the Resurrection, oh no...it's going to be your title reign that's getting killed! See, you want to make this PERSONAL with me? No...you DON'T want to make this personal, man, because the moment you do...you sign your death warrant because that's a path you don't want to go down! I didn't come back to be a statistic in your reign! I came back to be the UCA World Heavyweight Champion! And last week...you beat the crap out of me and said 'Welcome to reality'...sorry, but I don't live in YOUR reality, no matter how many beatdowns you give me. But in three weeks...a reality will definitely set in...oh yeah...it's a reality with you no longer World Champion! I swear to you, I w-"

"Oh, Matt, Matt, Matt..."

The crowd JEERED as Matt snapped his head towards the Titantron...

...and saw Mario on the Titantron with his ever-present smug grin on his face in an unknown location, and Matt just narrowed his eyes.

"You just-a don't get it...even after what I did-a to you last week, you still don't get it." Mario said. "You try so hard to play with the big dogs... You try so hard to make yourself out as some grand, extreme hero, and showcase this fantasy of the Resurrection succeeding on every front? ...When it's just that...a fantasy. A fantasy that's about to get torn apart. See, no matter what fantasy you make, we live in reality...and the reality is that you are NOT top star material! You ARE NOT Tai! You are NOT anywhere near my level! And you certainly don't have what it takes to beat me! And the fact that people actually buy into this damn Resurrection just shows much of sheep they actually are."

The crowd booed at this, chanting "MARIO SUCKS! MARIO SUCKS!" but the plumber wasn't giving a damn about them at all.

"Matt...you can deny it all-a you want...but you are nothing more than-a trash waiting to be thrown into the garbage. And it's only a matter of time before I do exactly that and show you your true place in the world. Just like every person before you has, and it'll be quite a sad sight actually..." Mario stated.

"Oh, you expect me to actually believe that crap?!" Matt replied. "No, this doesn't end the way you want it to end, Mario! No way in hell! WE aren't living in your reality anymore! Go ahead, say all that stuff about me. In fact, I welcome it! Why? Because it makes it all the more sweeter when I prove you wrong when I pin you 1-2-3 at Final Clash like I did last week! I know I can beat you now...and trust me...it's gonna happen whether you like it or not! This Resurrection isn't stopping for you or ANYBODY!"

"No Matt...that-a Resurrection of yours is-a going to DIE! I am making it my personal MISSION to make that happen! And it begins tonight!" Mario proclaimed. "See...last week, when you spat in my face, it led me to a realization. See, you DON'T spit in the face of the Greatest Champion Ever... You don't. But last week, you did EXACTLY that...and it made me realize...that in order to bring you, and every single one of these stupid fans, to reality...I would have to take drastic measures. And that's exactly what I'm doing... See...do you know where I am right now, Matt?"

Matt raised an eyebrow, but kept his suspicions and guard up as Mario just grinned and continued.

"Well...I'm sure that you MIGHT recognize this place, I think you've been here a few times in the past, actually." Mario stated, as the camera zoomed out...

...

...and showed Mario within a mansion that was TOTALLY WRECKED. It even seemed like a valuable and nice mansion, and everything from the walls, to the tables, to the windows, to even the priceless valuables...it was all smashed, totaled, scratched, knocked over, anything that indicated destruction in its wake. A few gasps came from the crowd at this, but there were some murmurs among them as to what this was about, although that mansion seemed familiar to a few... Matt just narrowed his eyes, his suspicions starting to rise.

"What the hell? Is that...a mansion? What the hell is Mario doing in a mansion of all places? I mean, it can't be his, that place is wrecked! And what does this have to do with Matt?! Has Mario started to lose it?" Church asked.

"Do not question, Mario! He obviously knows what he's doing, for he is Super Mario, and as such a proud and might Red, he knows all, and he cannot be questioned in the slightest!" Sarge rambled.

"...Okay, what the hell is wrong with you? Seriously, what makes you say this shit?" Church questioned.

"Hmmmmm...this looks like such a nice mansion...or at least, it LOOKED like it. Not so much now considering the obvious..." Mario chuckled; Matt just stared on, not liking where this was going. "Such a shame really. Always a waste to see a good mansion go down in the dumps...but perhaps, the inhabitant of the mansion will be different! I wonder where she is... Hmmmm...where are you, where are you? I mean, what kind of host would you b-AH!" Mario held his hands out with a grin as he saw someone on off-camera. "There she is! I was wondering where you were! Smile for the cameras!" Mario grinned...

...

...

...

...AS THE CAMERA SHOWED PLATINUM BERLITZ TIED UP, MOUTH BOUNDED, AND HELD BY THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM, FEAR IN HER EYES! THE CROWD WAS IN COMPLETE SHOCK WHILE MATT LOOKED ON IN UTTER HORROR!

"WHAT THE HELL?! THAT...THAT'S PLATINUM BERLITZ! YEAH, THAT'S HER! THE NEXT IN THE WEALTHY BERLITZ LINE HERE IN SINNOH! BUT WHAT THE HELL IS THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM IS DOING WITH HER?!" Church questioned.

"I DON'T KNOW, BUT OBVIOUSLY MARIO HAS SOME GRAND PLAN! WHY ELSE WOULD HE HAVE HER?! IT'S DEFINITELY FOR THE BETTER, THAT MUCH I KNOW! IT'S THE ONLY REASON MARIO WOULD DO THIS!" Sarge shouted.

"DON'T GIVE ME THAT RED BULLSHIT OF YOURS! THAT'S CRAP, AND YOU KNOW IT! HE'S NOT-WAIT! WAIT...OH NO...PLATINUM AND MATT...DON'T TELL ME..." Church trailed off.

"Ah, isn't she so beautiful, the girl of the mansion?" Mario chuckled as Platinum struggled in the grip of Yoshi and Luigi, her screams being muffled by the tape over her mouth. "She truly is a sight to be hold...Platinum, is it? ...No wonder she's your GIRLFRIEND nowadays..." Mario grinned, almost evilly as the crowd realized EXACTLY what Mario was doing. "You've been busy outside the ring since you came back, haven't you? Found yourself a new girl to play around with and eventually screw everything up with... Who would have thought, a punk-ass rocker and a knowledgeable rich heir? And now I get to know all the juicy details...up close and personal."

"MARIO, YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU'RE CROSSING THE F*CKIN' LINE!" Matt shouted, anger in his eyes. "DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER! IF YOU LAY EVEN ONE FINGER ON HER, I-"

"Matt, Matt, RELAX..." Mario said with a smug grin on his face. "Nothing's happened to dear ol' Platinum...yet. In fact, all she's done is be our host while we have a sort of extended stay here. Isn't that right, everybody?"

"Yes, brother, it's definitely-a been a great stay. I can say that this has been a very nice mansion from top to bottom. And our host here has definitely a great job in making us have the best experience." Luigi smirked.

"YOSHI!" Yoshi nodded with a dark grin on his own face.

"Yeah, why don't we have a mansion like this? I mean, come on, look at how damn nice this place is! It's hard to find a mansion like this even in our kingdom! Glad that we can get a sample of this! And it's all thanks to our host here...man, isn't he so nice?" Toad smirked as he lounged on a couch.

"YOU SONS OF BITCHES, YOU'RE ALL GONNA PAY FOR THIS I SWEAR!" Matt shouted angrily. "I'M GONNA GET MY HANDS ON YO-"

"Matt, you think you can do anything to us for this? My, how delusional can one person can get." Mario laughed. "But if you really want Platinum back that bad...

...

...then why don't you COME GET HER?" Mario smirked evilly as he disappeared off the Tron...

...

...AS MATT HAD ALREADY EXITED THE RING AND BOOKED IT UP THE RAMP AND TO THE BACKSTAGE!

"AND MATT'S MAKING A DAMN BEELINE OUT OF HERE! THOSE KINGDOM BASTARDS! THEY'VE GONE WAY TOO FAR THIS TIME! I MEAN SERIOUSLY, KIDNAPPING PLATINUM?! IS THIS WHAT MARIO IS WILLING TO DO JUST TO BEAT MATT?!" Church questioned.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, DIRTBAG?! DIDN'T YOU HEAR MARIO?!" Sarge shouted. "PLATINUM'S JUST BEING A HOST FOR HIM AND THE KINGDOM! WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT THAT?! DON'T TRY AND TWIST THINGS WITH YOUR BLUE LIES!"

"DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT, SARGE! YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT THIS IS! THIS IS MARIO CROSSING THE DAMN LINE JUST TO F*CKIN' SCREW WITH MATT! JUST WHEN YOU THINK MARIO COULDN'T GET ANY LOWER...!" Church shouted.

The camera goes to the backstage area, where we see Matt running down the hallways like his life depended on it. He pulled his Digivice out of his pocket, and then grabbed a laptop off a worker he passed, who shouted "HEY!" with Matt shouting "I'LL BRING THIS BACK!" before the Destined barreled out of the arena through the back door.

"And Matt is OUT OF HERE... He's out of arena to try and get his hands on Mario for this! That damn plumber..." Church said.

"I'm sure that when Matt arrives, he'll realize that Mario's just doing the right, and everyone will have a nice laugh! After all, it's the Red thing to do!" Sarge said.

"...SHUT...UP...SARGE...Ugh, we'll keep you posted, I guess, on this when we can... For now, got to move on." Church said.

---

The camera goes to another area backstage, which is an empty, dark room with nothing occupying it...save for a ladder set up right in the middle of the room...a table placed right in front of it...and a steel chair set up on top of the table. This was the only visual for awhile until...

"T...L...C..."

These letters were spoken out of nowhere as JERRY MOUSE walked onto the screen, inciting boos from the crowd as he looked at the camera.

"...Three now legendary letters which only mean one thing in wrestling...TABLES...LADDERS...AND CHAIRS..." Jerry said before turning to the weapons and circling them. "Three words...three weapons when separate are instruments used to cause pain and suffering to all...but when put TOGETHER...they are WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION that lay waste to anybody that they are used upon. They bring about broken bones, shattered dreams, and agony beyond imagining. An environment that is so brutal, so bloody, so insane, so...so..."

Jerry finished circling the weapons, and stood in front of them and stared at the camera hard.

"...So right down our alley. Isn't that right, Tom?"

At that moment, Tom Cat walked onto the screen a smirk on his face as the crowd booed him as well. He nodded before speaking as well...

"Damn right, Jerry, because nobody knows Tables, Ladders, and Chairs better than the Masters of Non-Stop Violence! Hell, at this point, Team 2D and TLC are likes best buds FOR LIFE! We were part of the first-ever TLC Match in UCA history at Survival Games 2000! And in UWE...? ...Too many TLC Matches to COUNT for us! This match is OUR YARD! OUR ENVIRONMENT! When we have Tables, Ladders, and Chairs in our hands...people RUN...or they SHOULD because the body count...it speaks for itself. Which is why...the Elrics have GOT to be the STUPIDEST sons of bitches alive for wanting this type of match."

"I mean, seriously, Elrics? SERIOUSLY?" Jerry asked. "You want to go to Final Clash and ask for a World Tag Team Title Match in a match that we are practically KNOWN for?! Especially considering your track record in TLC Matches... I mean...AWF One Night Star? ...WWE WrestleMania? ...Yeeaahhh, this is pretty stupid on your part! Brave...but stupid! You just never learn do you...? And Sonic Heroes, we haven't forgotten about you two and you can thank the Elrics for what's about to come upon you in three weeks! You got LUCKY the last time we faced off for those titles, a FLUKE on your part! But in this match...there will be no flukes, and we will inflict pain on EVERY...SINGLE...LIMB...POSSIBLE! At Final Clash, your reign is coming to an end, and Team 2D...is rising back to where it belongs!"

"See, we are walking into Dallas to bring down ANARCHY on any living being standing in our way! ...And we will be walking out of Dallas SEVENTEEN-TIME Tag Team Champions in the wake of motionless bodies!" Tom proclaimed. "And you know want to know how we're going to do that? First...we're going to grab a couple of nice steel chairs..." Tom grabbed the chair on top of the table and folded it, and inspected it. "...like this one, make sure they are produced good..." Tom then began to repeatedly SLAM THE CHAIR on the ground over and over with a crazed look. "...AND BEAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR HEADS IN OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU FOUR ARE PUTTY IN OUR HANDS!" Tom exclaimed before throwing the chair away with deep breaths.

"And after that..." Jerry continued for Tom, looking at the table and rubbed his hand against it. "...we're going to find nice tables like this one, sturdy tables, and then set them up all around you...and then one-by-one...put each of you through ALL OF THEM!" Jerry shouted as he slammed his fists against the table viciously repeatedly. "Break your bodies into pieces like the tables you're going through, leaving you with splinters all over, and broken bones until you can't move WORTH AN INCH!" Jerry gritted his teeth into a sneer before he and Tom turned to the set-up ladder.

"And then...after that...we're going to find a ladder like this...make sure it's home-ready...and then set it up under the titles..." Jerry stated as he and Tom got on opposite sides of the ladder.

"And then rung by rung...slowly climb up this ladder..." Tom continued on as he and Jerry slowly grabbed the ladder on each side and climbed it up, rung by rung, step by step. "Taking each step as we go...until we reach the top like we are now..." Tom and Jerry each made it to the top of the ladder, and looked downward. "...and then look at your mangled, broken messes called corpses..."

"...and then TAKE the titles down..." Jerry finished as he and Tom looked at the camera from the top of the ladder. "...and assert what has ALWAYS been true...that we are...the BEST Tag Team in goddamn Fiction Wrestling... Elrics...Sonic Heroes...you better be saying your prayers...because your reapers are coming for you..."

"At Final Clash, you four...we give you the ULTIMATE lesson in Non-Stop Violence as we become the UCA World Tag Team Champions..." Tom sneered. "...And if you don't like the sound of that happening at all...we just got three words for you..."

Tom and Jerry leaned forward from the ladder, and shouted the words expected of them...

"BURN...IN...HELL!"

Tom and Jerry then each raised an arm, their fingers forming the "V" sign as they stared hard at the camera, desire and thirst for blood ever evident in their eyes...

---

"Team 2D...with a DEFINITIVE message sent to their opponents at Final Clash...they are going to bring destruction down on them with Tables, Ladders, and Chairs if they have their way." Church said.

"And they WILL! After all...TLC is their YARD! They made part of their careers off these matches! And the Elrics were STUPID for having it be this match at Final Clash! So guess what? ...Blue shish kabob on a silver platter!" Sarge stated.

"Well, no matter what, Team 2D is out for BLOOD in two weeks, and it's going to be carnage! But we'll also be hearing from The Elrics and Sonic Heroes later tonight as well, and who knows what they'll say after hearing this?" Church asked.

"Does it matter? Result is already known... Team 2D kills everyone with Non-Stop Violence. End of story." Sarge stated.

"Suuuuuuurrrrreeee...let's go with the foregone conclusion that's wrong more than half the time, that's a great idea..." Church stated sarcastically. "Well anyway, it's time for our first match, and it's a doozy!" Church said.

("Finest Hour" by BulletProof Messenger)

The crowd gave a BIG mixed reaction as the music played, and Sora came out onto the stage with the BIGGEST cocky smirk on his face that you could possibly see. He looked out to the crowd for a bit and walked down the ramp, a relaxed and unworried air about him and as he neared the ring, he looked to the camera and said to it "Time for some Final Clash momentum...get ready for victory number 3, everybody." Sora then leaped onto the apron, and then over the ropes, climbing up a nearby turnbuckle, the smirk never leaving his face.

"The following is your opening contest of the evening, and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Destiny Islands, weighing in at 203 lbs., Sora!"

"And here comes the No. 1 Contender for the Cruiserweight Title, Sora, who at Final Clash will challenge the champ, Tidus, for that very title in a Kingdom Hearts vs Final Fantasy battle!" Church stated as a match graphic for said FC match was shown on screen. "But tonight...he's dealing with a rival that's been on him since Last Stand, and if that entrance was any sort of hint, he's not too worried about this."

"And why SHOULD he? After all...he's facing a guy who he's CLEARLY better than! I mean...he made him tap out at Last Stand in the Cruiserweight Open Gauntlet... Then made him tap out AGAIN at the FWAs...and the guy's on a losing streak for a YEAR in UCA... And you think it's going to be hard for Sora..." Sarge stated.

"Yeah, Sora thinks this whole thing is already decided and it's just some momentum for Final Clash! He's about as lax as he possibly can be, but his opponent is probably the OPPOSITE of Sora right now, and with good reason..." Church stated.

("Hero" by Nickelback)

The crowd gave out loud cheers as the lights in the arena darkened, and after a few seconds, Robin was seen running through the crowd in the stands at a fast pace. He jumped over the barricade and quickly slid into the ring, kneeling on one knee as he looked towards Sora and glared angrily at him, who just continued to give off his smug smirk, before going to the turnbuckle and climbing it, raising his fists in the air.

"And his opponent, from Gotham City, weighing in at 195 lbs., Robin!"

"And here is Robin, who is all but DEADSET on doing anything he can to break his year-long losing streak tonight! And after Sora mocked him for his losses to him and others, Robin decided to have one last shot at Sora to end the streak! And this is do or die for Robin here tonight!" Church said.

"And it's time for Robin to DIE! Why? HE CAN'T BEAT SORA! He's already tried twice, and he TAPPED OUT TWICE! I think it's time for the LOSER to go back home...we'll be better off without such a dirty Blue, and maybe he'll save himself the humiliation of tapping out again!" Sarge stated.

"I think he would only take those words as motivation, Sarge...but Sora doesn't look the least bit worried about Robin! But we all know the Boy Wonder would LOVE to smack the smirk off of his face. And he's going to do all he can to make that a realty tonight." Church said.

Sora and Robin stood on opposite sides of the ring, Robin with a determined glare, Sora with a cocky grin, and after they were checked on by the ref, he rang the bell. The two met in the middle of the ring, and engaged in a lock-up, with Sora quickly getting putting in a Waistlock. Robin though managed to slip out and tried to lock in a Hammerlock, but Sora threw him off, and then caught him in a Side Headlock Takedown, and wrenched on the head, but Robin wrapped his legs around Sora's head to break it, and Sora kipped out of it! The two scrambled to their feet, and Sora caught Robin with an Arm Drag, and Robin got up to his feet and then leapfrogged over an incoming Sora...but didn't notice Sora stopping right behind him! Robin landed on his feet and turned right into a HUGE Dropkick to the face! Robin rolled away and sat against the ropes in surprise, all while Sora chuckled arrogantly, splaying his arms out and saying "Too easy...then again, with you, of course it is..."

"And Sora getting REALLY full of himself right now after that surprise Dropkick on Robin! He really isn't taking Robin seriously at all!" Church stated.

"And why should he?! Again, BEAT HIM TWICE! And considering how easy it was to do that, Sora's got this in the Red bag! ...And you Blue CAN'T HAVE THE BAG!" Sarge shouted.

However, Robin got PISSED at Sora's lack of seriousness towards him, standing up and engaging in an aggressive lock-up with him! Robin got Sora in a Headlock, but Sora pushed him off and to the ropes, knocking him down with a Standing Shoulder Block as he came back. Sora chuckled down at the Boy Wonder before bouncing off the ropes, and Robin rolled on his gut as Sora stepped over him and bounced over the ropes once more, and right into a Leapfrog over once more by Robin. Like last time, Sora stopped behind Robin and gave a smirk with a look that says "Really?" as Robin turned around. Sora went for a Dropkick...Robin swatted it away! Sora got up in surprise, but then began to get a flurry of Shoot Kicks to every part of his body relentlessly from Robin. After fifteen Shoot Kicks, Robin followed it up with a Spinning Backfist, sending Sora into the ropes, and then nailed a Front Dropkick, sending Sora through those ropes and to the floor outside. The crowd cheered as Sora stood up and looked in surprise at the glaring Robin.

"...WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" Sarge questioned.

"Sora just got his ass kicked by Robin a bit, that's what happened!" Church stated.

"...THAT CAN'T HAPPEN!" Sarge shouted.

"IT JUST DID!" Church stated.

Robin begged for Sora to enter back into the ring, and Sora now glared at him before slowly getting on the apron...and then getting off the apron and staying on the outside to regroup to some slight boos. Sora circled the ring...but Robin wasn't having ANY of it as he exited the ring, grabbed Sora from behind and THREW him into the barricade! Sora arched his back in pain before managing to sit up against the barricade and Robin DROPKICKED HIM against it! Robin picked up Sora and threw him back into the ring, and Sora stumbled up to his feet as Robin got on the apron...and nailed Sora with a Springboard Clothesline! Robin with a cover! 1...2...Sora kicks out!

"And Robin is just on fire right now, Sora did NOT expect this one bit!" Church stated.

"Of course he didn't, because Robin SUCKS! Why can you NOT see that?!" Sarge questioned.

"Robin isn't sucking right now, Sarge!" Church said.

Robin then mounted Sora and began raining down furious forearms to the face of Sora, releasing all his frustration from his losing streak and for Sora on him! After a good while of this, Robin picked up Sora and whipped him into the corner, then ran at him and nailed a Corner Dropkick to the face! Sora slumped in the corner as Robin got up backed turned to Sora...

...Twisting Enzigu-SORA DUCKED! Robin crashed onto his stomach, and as he was getting up, Sora grabbed him by the waist...

...GERMAN SUPLEX AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES!

"Oooohhh...that's GOT to hurt... No give from the turnbuckles off the German!" Church stated.

"And Sora is back where he belongs...in CONTROL!" Sarge stated.

Sora pulled Robin out of the corner and hooks the leg!

...

Robin kicks out!

Sora picked up Robin off the kickout and kicked him in the gut, causing him to double over, then bounced off the ropes and nailed a Front Dropkick to the head! Sora then stood up and ran at the ropes, and nailed a Springboard Moonsault on the Boy Wonder! Sora stood on his knees with his cocky grin back before covering once more! 1...2...Robin kicks out! Robin rolled over to the ropes and stood up against them but Sora grabbed him and whipped him into the ropes, and a Back Body Drop catch off the bounce back. Sora then bounced off the ropes and nailed a Senton Leg Drop across Robin's throat! Sora picked up Robin and lifted him up for a Back Suplex...

...Robin backflipped out of it and landed behind Sora! Sora turned around as Robin went for a Spinning Backfist...

...Sora DUCKED the attack, and leaped at Robin from behind...

...

...and nailed an Inverted Hurricanrana, SPIKING Robin on his head!

"DAMN! Did you see that?! Robin just got SPIKED courtesy of a Inverted Hurricanrana!" Church said.

"And Robin deserved every bit of that spike into oblivion! Robin..." Sarge began.

Sora turned Robin over and covers him!

"You Just Got-Ah dammit, why does he always fight when he knows how it ends? What kind of insanity is this?" Sarge questioned.

Sora was a bit miffed at the kickout, but quickly regrew the cocky grin on his face as he stood up and looked down at Robin. The Boy Wonder tried to get back up, and the Keyblade Wielder began to mock his efforts, saying "Come on, Robin...come on, keep fighting, you can do it...even though it always ends the same way." Sora chuckled as Robin got to his knees...and SOCKED him right in the jaw! Sora backed up, holding his jaw in surprise as Robin got a foot on the mat...

...Sora ran at Robin and Soccer Kicked him in the chest HARD! Robin fell onto the mat holding his chest, and Sora picked him up and onto his shoulders...

...

...FIREMAN'S CARRY NECKBREAKER OVER THE KNEE!

"And Sora drops Robin across his knee off the Fireman's Carry! Man, Robin trying to be defiant, but he's getting his ass kicked!" Church stated.

"Of course he is, did you expect any less? This is pretty much the expected scenario, shame on you dirtbags for thinking otherwise." Sarge said.

Sora hooks the leg tightly!

Robin kicks out!

"Don't worry faithful Reds watching the show, you will not be forced to change the channel as Robin will lose in no time." Sarge stated.

"...How are you STILL on commentary?" Church asked.

Sora was now getting a bit frustrated that Robin wouldn't stay down, but kept his cool as he stood and grabbed the legs! He tried for the Key-Shooter, but Robin was struggling against it being locked against it, slowly moving himself over towards the ropes. He managed to grab the bottom rope to force a break, and the ref had to pull Sora away from Robin as a result. Annoyed, Sora went back to Robin and picked him up, but Robin threw a Roundhouse Kick at Sora, which Sora ducked...

...and Sora ducked ANOTHER Roundhouse Kick as Robin spun back around...

...

...and Sora GOT AN ENZIGURI AS ROBIN SPUN BACK AROUND AGAIN!

"And Robin REFUSING to stop until he clocked Sora right in the skull! Third time's the charm as Sora is ROCKED!" Church stated.

"Where did THAT come from?! I demand to know! This is clearly the work of some giant force that wants harm on all Reds!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sora fells down to all fours from the impact and crawled away while Robin fell down near the corner. Robin eventually pulled himself up to his feet as Sora stood up and saw the Boy Wonder and ran at him...Robin LIFTED Sora OVERHEAD and Sora crashed face-first onto the top turnbuckle! The Keyblade Wielder was dazed as he turned around against the corner...

...

...TWISTING ENZIGURI TO THE SKULL! Sora fell down to a seated position against the corner, and Robin got up, running to the opposite corner, before running back...

...

...and Hesitation Corner Dropkick to Sora connecting!

"And Robin gaining back that momentum! The air on that Hesitation Dropkick was great!" Church stated.

"Okay, whoever's helping Robin doing this, shall be struck down! Hear me?! STRUCK DOWN!" Sarge exclaimed.

Robin pulled Sora out of the corner and covered him!

...

Sora kicks out!

"And Sora kicked out! But Robin isn't easing on him one bit!" Church noted.

Indeed, Robin quickly picked up Sora and began nailing several angry knees to the face of Sora, each one releasing anger at Sora on the Keyblade Wielder! However, Sora managed to push Robin into the ropes, and tried to catch him off the bounce back with a Clothesline, but Robin ducked it...and then nailed a Springboard Crossbody on Robin off the adjacent ropes! Robin rolled onto his feet as Sora stumbled up to his feet, and Robin leaped at him for a Wheelbarrow...

...

...but Sora grabbed him by the waist before he could complete the move and held onto him as Robin landed on his feet...

...

...ROBIN BACKFLIPPED OUT OF THE GERMAN SUPLEX! Sora stood up and faced Robin, who ran at him...

...

...

...AND PLANTED HIM WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL DDT!

"And Robin with the Tilt-A-Whirl DDT! Robin just PLANTED Sora right on his face! He ain't so cocky NOW, is he?!" Church questioned.

"I STILL question the possibility of this! It's a known fact that Robin SUCKS! This can't be happening!" Sarge stated.

Sora stood right on his head from the DDT before falling down, and Robin covered him!

...

Sora kicked out!

"And THAT is what the No. 1 Contender can do! Robin, face it, you CAN'T beat him! You just CAN'T!" Sarge exclaimed.

Robin gritted his teeth, not liking that Sora kicked out of that before picking him up. He tried to lift him up for the Hero's Fall...but Sora landed behind Robin, grabbed him by the waist and pushed him into the ropes! Robin held onto them and Sora rolled backwards onto his feet, and Robin went for a Shoot Kick to the skull...

...

...Sora DUCKED it, grabbed Robin from behind...

...

...

...SONIC BLADE CONNECTS!

"And there's the Sonic Blade! Right on the button!" Church stated.

"And now, Robin..." Sarge began.

Sora hooks the leg!

ROBIN GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT 2.9!

"You Just Got-Ah dammit, WHY does Robin keep fighting?! He can't WIN against Sora! He just CAN'T! GIVE UP!" Sarge stated.

"I doubt he's doing that without a FIGHT, Sarge! This Boy Wonder wants to win BAD!" Church stated.

Sora shook his head before picking up Robin and placing him on the top turnbuckle in a nearby corner. He then began to climb up there to meet him, but when he was up there with Robin, the Boy Wonder began to fight back with punches, and after a few, Sora retaliated with a few of his own! The two continuously traded fists until Robin PUSHED Sora off the top...

...

...and Sora BACKFLIPPED in mid-air and LANDED on his feet, getting a "WHOA!" from the crowd.

"DAMN! Did SORA just do THAT?!" Church questioned.

Sora managed to keep his balance on his feet before focusing...

...

...and MOVED out of the way as Robin jumped off the top! Robin landed and rolled onto his feet, and turned as Sora ran at him! Robin went for a Leapfrog...

...SORA CAUGHT HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS! Sora tried for something, but Robin managed to jump and seat himself on Sora's shoulders...

...

...AND SPIKED HIM WITH AN INVERTED HURRICANRANA!

"AND ROBIN FINALLY RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH AN INVERTED HURRICANRANA OF HIS OWN!" Church shouted.

"HEY! ROBIN STOLE THAT MOVE! I DEMAND GIMMICK INFRINGEMENT!" Sarge shouted.

Sora rolled onto his back from the impact near the ropes, and Robin grabbed said ropes, readied himself...

...

...

...and nailed an ARABIAN PRESS off the top rope on Sora!

"And a beautiful Arabian Press on Sora! He got ALL of that one! The COVER!" Church exclaimed.

Robin hooks the leg!

SORA KICKS OUT!

"DAMMIT! Too close, Sora! Don't EVER let that be close AGAIN! You'll disgrace the Reds with that!" Sarge stated.

Robin growled, REALLY getting ticked at being so close, yet so far before dragging Sora to the middle of the ring and sitting him up, muttering in his face "This is MY redemption...DEAL with it" before bouncing off the ropes...

...

...

...and SORA DUCKS THE SHOOT KICK TO THE FACE! Sora grabs the legs of Robin as he's behind him, and pulls him down to the mat with them! He stands up with the legs in hand...

"Key-Shooter time! Key-Shooter time! Time for repeating history!" Sarge exclaimed.

...

...

...but Robin began to kick Sora in the face repeatedly, trying to keep the Key-Shooter from being applied! He then managed to kick Sora off and away from him to the ropes! Robin got up and ran at Sora, but Sora Back Dropped Robin over the ropes...

...Robin landed on the apron, and as Sora turned, KICKED him in the head HARD! Sora nearly fell down to the mat as he was forced back a bit, and Robin grabbed the ropes, readying himself! He waited as Sora slowly regained himself and stood up, and Robin leaped on the ropes...

...

...

...

...AND SORA CAUGHT THE SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK BY THE LEGS! Robin dropped to the mat as Sora placed his leg between Robin's, tied them up...

...

...

...AND LOCKED IN THE KEY-SHOOTER!

"KEY-SHOOTER! KEY-SHOOTER! OFF THE SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! SHADES OF LAST STAND! AND ROBIN'S GOT NOWHERE TO GO! HISTORY MAY REPEAT ITSELF!" Church shouted.

"BECAUSE IT WILL! ROBIN ALWAYS TAPS TO THIS HOLD! SO TAP ROBIN! TAP! TAP FOR THIRD TIME LIKE YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!" Sarge shouted.

Robin screamed in agony as Sora applied the hold as much as he possibly could, shouting "TAP! TAP, IT'S WHAT YOU DO BEST!" But Robin shook his head despite the agony, REFUSING to let this happen again! Sora replied by applying the hold even MORE, causing Robin to scream out! Robin pulled at his hair, trying to fight through the pain! Robin saw the ropes...and knew it was his ONLY chance...SLOWLY began to crawl to them...

...

...inch by inch, he crept up to the ropes...

...

...Sora PULLED on the hold even more, causing Robin to stop for a minute! Robin, however, pushed through...

...

...

...he reached a hand out...

...

...

...Sora gave the hold ALL HE GOT...

...

...

...

...AND ROBIN GRABBED THE BOTTOM ROPE TO CHEERS!

"And Robin GETS TO THE ROPE! ROBIN BREAKS THE HOLD! HISTORY ISN'T REPEATING ITSELF HERE!" Church shouted.

"Yeah, well, Robin's still losing because he's a LOSER! GET HIM SORA!" Sarge cheered.

The ref told Sora to let go, and when Sora didn't, began the count! 1...2...3...4...Sora lets go of the Key-Shooter, FRUSTRATED that didn't end it! HOW was this guy fighting back so hard?! Having enough, Sora grabbed Robin and picked him up, but Robin began trying to fight back, nailing a few Shoot Kicks to the leg before Sora pushed Robin away...

...

...

...and the two KICKED EACH OTHER IN THE HEAD! Robin fell down to the mat, and the ref checked on him to see if he was okay, and Sora fell backwards into the ropes, leaning his body over it!

"And Robin and Sora had the same idea: kick the other guy RIGHT in the head! Now both are out of it right now!" Church stated.

"Yeah, well guess what, Sora is obviously going to recover faster because he's so much better than Robin! Robin...HAH!" Sarge exclaimed.

"You know Sarge, sometimes, I wonder if doing commentary with you is w-Wait a second, WAIT A SECOND...!" Church suddenly said.

Somebody came through the crowd as Sora slowly pushed himself off the ropes! That person jumped on the apron as Sora noticed him a little TOO late...

...

...

...

...

...AND TIDUS BLITZ KICKS SORA FROM THE APRON ACROSS THE HEAD!

"TIDUS! TIDUS FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! TIDUS WITH THE BLITZ KICK OFF SORA'S SKULL!" Church shouted.

"WHAT THE...?! WHERE DID HE COME FROM...?! REF, I DEMAND JUSTICE BE SERVED!" Sarge exclaimed.

"REF DIDN'T SEE IT! HE WAS BUSY CHECKING ON ROBIN! PAYBACK FROM WHAT SORA DID LAST WEEK!" Church stated.

The crowd cheered as Tidus got off the apron and quickly exited through the crowd where he came from as Sora was out of it on his feet! The Keyblade Wielder stumbled backwards as Robin was on all fours, and saw the condition that Sora was in...and quickly got to his feet as Sora turned around...kicked him in the gut before setting him up Suplex-style and lifting him...

...

...

...

...AND PLANTED HIM WITH THE HERO'S FALL, TIGHTLY HOOKING THE LEG ALMOST INSTANTLY AFTER!

"HERO'S FALL! HERO'S FALL! ROBIN GOT ALL OF IT! THE HOOK OF THE LEG...!" Church exclaimed.

"NO NO NO, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING...!" Sarge exclaimed.

THE CROWD EXPLODES WITH CHEERS!

"ROBIN DID IT! ROBIN WINS! DICK BEATS SORA! THE BOY WONDER FINALLY BREAKS THE YEAR-LONG LOSING STREAK!" Church shouted.

("Hero" by Nickelback)

"Here is your winner...ROBIN!"

Sora let go of Robin and fell down to the mat, so many emotions overwhelming him at the moment, the most important of them being SHOCK and JOY. Robin crawled over to the ropes and pulled himself up with them, and for the first time in over a year, the ref raised Robin's hand in victory. The Boy Wonder fell to his knees, holding his head as so much joy was swirling with him before he climbed up a corner, and raised his fists high into the air, shouting into the sky in victory before getting off and exiting the ring. He made his way up the ramp, slapping hands with fans before dropping to his knees once more, pumping his fists in the air as he relished this victory.

"ROBIN WINS! DICK GREYSON PULLED IT OFF! AFTER OVER A YEAR OF CONSTANT FAILURES...AFTER TAPPING OUT TWO STRAIGHT TIMES...ROBIN FINALLY WINS IN UCA! ROBIN FINALLY ACHIEVES REDEMPTION!" Church shouted.

"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! THIS CAN'T! WE'VE ENTERED A BIZARRO WORLD CREATED BY YOU DAMN BLUES! WE HAVE! AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF TIDUS!HOW DARE HE CAUSE THIS TRAVESTY! HE DOOMED US ALL!" Sarge exclaimed.

"SHUT UP SARGE! THIS IS ONE HELL OF A MOMENT, AND NO ONE WANTS YOUR ASS RUINING IT! ROBIN FINALLY BREAKS THE STREAK! ROBIN WINS, AND HE IS ON CLOUD NINE!" Church exclaimed.

As Robin celebrated on the stage, Sora finally came to as he leaned against the bottom rope, seeing Robin on the stage...and then Tidus out in the crowd, who smirked from his position, and the Keyblade Wielder realized what happened. Tidus just shrugged as he said "Hey...what goes around comes around, right?" Sora grew a FRUSTRATED look on his face as he glared at Tidus, and nodded to himself, and said "Oh...it's ON now..." as Robin headed to the back.

"And Sora...oh man, he's pissed...he is REALLY pissed, and it's not hard to figure out why. Like the fire just got a giant gallon of fuel thrown onto it here." Church stated.

The camera goes to the interview area where we see Tucker with a mic as he's ready for the first interview of the night.

"Yo, it's Tucker here, one of the FWA-Winning interviewers here, about to interview a pair of ladies! And trust me, the Tuck-man is going to have some with them! ...Bow Chicka Bow Wo-OWWWWWW!"

Tucker was interrupted by a FIST to the face, knocking him down hard...and that fist belonged to none other than Agent Tex who walked into the scene and looked down at the writhing Tucker. Tifa Lockhart came into the scene looking down at Tucker with a bewildered look about him.

"...Is he always like this?" Tifa questioned.

"You have no freakin' idea..." Tex stated as Tucker got up to his feet holding the side of his helmet.

"Owwwwwww...damn, no need to be a BITCH, Tex..." Tucker muttered.

"Ask the damn question before I shove your head up your ass." Tex threatened.

"Alright, alright, sheesh, again, no need to be a bitch..." Tucker grumbled. "Alright...Tifa...Tex...you two are set to team tonight against your respective Final Clash opponents, Samus and Lightning. Any thoughts as you head into the match tonight?"

"Well...I'm not much of a team person, as you know, Tucker." Tex stated. "I may work with you and the Reds and Blues, but I prefer to do things by myself. Trying to work with someone else was never really my thing. But see, I got a chance to get my hands on that damn jealous Samus Aran a little early before Final Clash, and that makes me a very happy camper, Tucker. And the only thing I need to do to get that...is team with Tifa here for a Tag Match. And if that's what I got to do in order to hurt Samus as much as possible tonight...then trust me, that's EXACTLY what I'm gonna do. I don't have much of a problem with Tifa...can't say the same for Samus and Lightning...and after tonight, they're going to be leaving with a few more bruises than they came in with. After all...I got a lot of anger I'm ready to take out on, especially Samus."

"Yeah, me and Tex...we're going to go out there and give Samus and Lightning a taste of what's to come at Final Clash." Tifa stated. "Tex can deal with Samus, that's her area right there...and I'm going to deal with Lightning. Now Lightning...her success is VERY impressive. She's had one of the longest reigns with the Women's Title in recent memory, she's beaten some very big names, she's won plenty of matches, and HELL...she's even become the new Vice President of the Rookie Revolution, technically second-in-command of what has now been declared an entire NATION. I'm NOT blind to that despite what some may think or take from what I said last week...hell, I won't lie...I'm VERY impressed. She's a hell of a competitor early in her career...but I'm NOT going down to her without a fight. She wants to put me out of UCA, try to end me! She wants to make me a statistic, a NOTCH on her belt that she can flaunt and lord over others. Well...I'm not going to go down and be made out like that at all! You aren't going to turn me into what you turned into the others! I want you to know ONE THING, one thing I've tried to convey...you want the torch? ...Then TAKE IT from me. Just like how I took it from Mars and Terra! How Gwen took the torch from Sailor Moon! How Tsuna took it from Domon! That's how the business WORKS...the torch is NEVER passed, it's TAKEN from! And I'm not going to lie down for her and LET her take it just because of what she and others THINK of me and what I should be doing! She doesn't get to tell me what to do! At Final Clash...it's going to be a classic between us, a true classic, I have no doubt about that...and tonight, along with Tex...I'm going to show you...that taking the torch isn't as easy or simple as you THINK it's going to be."

"Samus...Lightning...get ready because this may not be Final Clash, but dammit, it's going to be pretty damn close if we have ANYTHING to say about it." Tex stated before the two left with each other.

---

"Tex and Tifa making their thoughts known as they head into their big tag team match, and it's certainly going to be a doozy considering all the tensions we've got!" Church stated.

"Pfftt, like Tex and Tifa can really do anything against Samus and Lightning! We ALL know who are the superior ones are! ...The ones that aren't dirty Blues, that's who! They will never get momentum! NEVER!" Sarge exclaimed.

"...You DO realize that Tex could be listening in on this right now?" Church asked.

"...I never said anything, you can't prove that I did." Sarge suddenly said.

"What you just said will NOW be viewed millions of times on video." Church stated.

"...You forced me to say it." Sarge stated.

"No I didn't, you DUMBASS. Seriously, I'm not dying with you. Ugh...whatever...let's just move on to the next match before I deal with anymore of this..." Church said.

("King of Kings" by Motorhead)

The crowd boos loudly as dark purple lighting takes over the arena and the lights began to flicker on and off, and when the music picked up, Chaos the Hedgehog came out onto the stage and stood in the middle of it. He held his head down to the ground for a few seconds before looking up and towards the booing crowd and sneered before giving out a battle cry and raising his arms in the air before walking down the ramp in a powerful manner. He leaped onto the apron and entered the ring, walking over to the corner and climbed it, raising his arms in a god-like manner.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 238 lbs., "The God of Destruction" Chaos the Hedgehog!"

"And here we are with the first of two matches involving the men in the Intercontinental Championship Match at Final Clash, and it's between two rivals! Hope and Chaos have been at each other's throats for a LONG time, and this will be their eight meeting with each other!" Church stated.

"And this is a meeting where Chaos stands tall! Come on, Hope actually winning? You're actually being stupid! He's facing the God of Destruction! And when facing a God, it's almost guaranteed for you to lose! It's a scientific fact!" Sarge stated.

"Well, despite that "scientific fact," Hope has defeated Chaos before, but Chaos remembers how their last match went, and he doesn't want that to happen again! He's vicious and determined, and this will be one hell of a bout!" Church said.

("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, now wearing a grey sleeveless hoodie. Hope took a deep breath before throwing the hood off and splaying his arms out in a pose, the crowd cheering at this before he made his way down the ramp with a focused expression, glaring at Chaos who sneered at him. 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.

"Introducing first, the challenger, from South Island, Mobius, weighing in at 218 lbs., "The Warrior of Light" Hope the Hedgehog!"

"And here comes Hope, who came within inches of winning the IC Title two weeks ago, but it was thanks to the guy he's facing that didn't happen! And tonight, he looks to pay Chaos back for that by upping the record between to 5-3." Church stated.

"And THAT is not going to happen! Again, Hope CAN'T beat this God! Not today! He didn't deserve to win the title before, and he doesn't deserve to win now! This will just be a preview of Hope's Blue chances at Final Clash!" Sarge stated.

"Hope and Chaos have had a LONG history in UCA...and they add another chapter to it tonight, and it's one that could go either way." Church said.

Hope took off his hoodie and threw it out of the ring, never taking his eyes off the sneering Chaos, and then the ref rang the bell. Chaos ran at him and threw a fist, but Hope ducked it, and nailed a few fists of his own on Chaos, but the "God" pushed Hope away and nailed a Big Boot to his face, knocking him down! Chaos picked him up and threw him into a corner before nailing furious fists to the skull of Hope before backing up, and running towards the white hedgehog. Hope however brought the feet up, catching his rival in the mouth with them! Chaos was dazed, and Hope got on the second turnbuckle and grabbed Chaos' head, and tried for a Tornado DDT! Chaos pushed Hope off at the last second, and the hedgehog landed on his feet, and ducked a Lariat from Chaos at the last second! Chaos turned around and got a Snap Hurricanrana for his troubles! Chaos stumbled up to his feet, and right into a Dropkick to the face!

"And the two hedgehogs not wasting ANY time here! Fast and furious from the get go as the two are beating the hell out of each other!" Church stated.

"These hedgehogs HATE each other, why the hell would they feel each other out?! They know each other too well!" Sarge said.

Chaos rolled over to a corner and sat against it, but Hope was on with his furious kicks keeping him seated! Once done, Hope quickly stepped up the corner above Chaos, and then nailed a Rope-Aided Corner Dropkick on him! Hope pulled Chaos out of the corner and covered him! 1...2...Chaos kicks out! Hope picks up Chaos and tries to Suplex him, but Chaos remains rooted to the ground! Hope tries again a few more times to no avail, when suddenly Chaos suplexed Hope himself from the position! Hope landed behind Chaos though, and grabbed him in a waistlock, but Chaos caught him with a Back Elbow to the jaw HARD. Hope backed up into the ropes holding his jaw, but then pulled them down as Chaos ran at him, the hedgehog going over them! Chaos landed on his feet though, but Hope quickly bounced off the ropes to Chaos' side of the ring...

...and Chaos dodged the Baseball Slide from Hope. Hope slid to the outside and ran to Chaos...

...AND RIGHT INTO A SPINEBUSTER ON THE APRON!

"OH SHIT! Chaos just dropped Hope RIGHT ACROSS the apron back-first with that Spinebuster! And the apron didn't give at all!" Church stated.

"Well maggot, I'm afraid that Hope won't be needing a chiropractor...HE'LL BE NEEDING A DIRTBAG SURGEON SOON WHEN CHAOS IS DONE!" Sarge yelled.

Hope arched his back in pain, but Chaos picked up Hope and then threw him hard into the barricade. Chaos picked up the pile of heap known as Hope and threw him into the ring. Chaos slid into the ring as Hope stumbled up to his feet, and damn near took his head off with an Elbow Smash! Chaos glared down at the downed Hope before kneeling down, and began smashing Hope's head against the mat repeatedly before picking him up and whipping him into the corner hard! Hope stumbled out of the corner...

...and right into a Tilt-A-Whirl Powerslam!

"And Powerslam Tilt-A-Whirl style by the God of Destruction! Chaos with the cover!" Church called.

1...

2...

Hope kicks out!

"Ah, damn dirty Blue, always kicking out... It's only a matter of time though before justice is given." Sarge said.

Chaos picked up Hope and locked his head, beginning to nail repeated Knee Lifts to the face of the heroic hedgehog, wanting to cave his face in! After over eight of these, Chaos then Snapmared Hope down to a seated position, bounced off the ropes, and booted Hope right in the mouth! Chaos sneered down in sadistic glee as he placed his foot on Hope's neck and began pressing down, choking him with it! Hope flailed, trying to get the boot off of him as the ref admonished Chaos, trying to get him to stop the choke. Chaos eventually let go of the boot, and then picked up Hope, got him in a Full Nelson and lifted him up...

...Hope wrapped his legs mid-lift around Chaos and got him in a Victory Roll!

"Wait, wait...Roll-up by Hope!" Church called.

1...

2...

Chaos kicks out!

Both men scramble to their feet, and Hope ducked a right hand thrown, grab the neck from behind and nail a Snap Neckbreaker on Chaos! Hope picked up Chaos, but the God suddenly lifted Hope onto his shoulders for Ragnarok!

...

...Hope manages to get behind Chaos! Chaos turns around...

...

...and DODGES the Pele Kick! Hope crashes onto his stomach, and as he tries to get up, Chaos NAILS HIM with a THUNDEROUS Knee Smash to the temple!

"DAMN! I think Chaos damn near took Hope's head off with that knee of his!" Church stated.

"And it was a way that would make ANYBODY proud...save for Blues...because they suck...ass." Sarge said.

Hope was laid out, but Chaos wasn't done as he picked up Hope, whipped him into the ropes...

...

...AND CAUGHT HIM ON THE BOUNCE BACK WITH A DOUBLE A SPINEBUSTER!

"Double A Spinebuster on the Warrior of Light! Chaos just rocks Hope!" Church stated.

"And now, Hope..." Sarge began.

1...

...

2...

...

Hope kicks out!

"You Just Got...well dagnabbit, the maggot's still kicking! Why do they always keep kicking?" Sarge asked.

Chaos mounted Hope immediately and began raining down furious fists on the skull of the hedgehog as if trying to crack it, and the ref eventually pulled Chaos off Hope. The God gave the ref a dark glare before picking up Hope and holding him up his quills, giving a sadistic sneer and saying "This time, hero...YOU fall." Chaos then bounced off the ropes towards Hope...

...

...

...AND HOPE JUMPED BACKWARDS ONTO THE MAT, AVOIDING THE DISCUS LARIAT, THEN KIPPED BACK UP TO HIS FEET! THE CROWD GOES "WOOOAAHHH!"

"HOLY SHIT! DID YOU SEE THAT?! DID HOPE JUST PULL THAT OFF?!" Church stated.

"HAX! I CALL HAX! THAT DEFIES ALL LOGIC! SOMEONE GET THE REDS ON HIM!" Sarge shouted.

Chaos was stunned at what Hope just did, and turned around...

...

...

...AND RIGHT INTO A PELE' KICK!

"PELE! PELE KICK TO THE SKULL OF CHAOS! DEAD-ON!" Church exclaimed.

"HEY! THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! SOMEONE CALL FOR A REPLAY!" Sarge exclaims.

Chaos drops down to the ground in a heap and Hope manages to cover him!

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

Chaos kicks out!

"KICK OUT BY CHAOS! But that was too close! Too close to call!" Sarge stated.

"Hope getting himself back in the game here!" Church said.

Hope groaned and rolled over to the apron, standing up on it and went to the corner, and begins climbing the corner. He eventually reached the top...and was STOPPED by Chaos, who had got up and managed to nail Hope with a right! Chaos then began to climb up to meet with Hope, but the hedgehog nailed a right himself, and soon the two were trading fists on top of the corner, trying to gain the advantage! One from Chaos! One from Hope! One from Chaos! One from Hope! One from Chaos!

...Hope suddenly nails a KICK to the side of Chaos' head, dazing him! With that in mind, Hope continued kicking Chaos' head from his position, over and over...

...until Chaos fell off the turnbuckle and to the mat below! With Chaos down, Hope stood tall, steadied himself...

...

...

...AND NAILS THE DIVE FROM HEAVEN!

"And Hope Dives from Heaven, driving the elbow into Chaos!" Church stated.

"Hey who gave you permission to dive from Heaven?! I don't see any angels around here!" Sarge exclaimed.

Hope didn't go for the pin as he stood up and threw his arms forward in intensity as the crowd cheered, and he had a fierce look about him! He looked ready to end this...

...and he was as he went over to the corner, and began stomping his foot in rhythmic fashion, signaling for what's about to come!

"Oh boy...I think Chaos's about to get a certan DOSE from Hope!" Church noted.

Hope continued to stomp as Chaos began to move, an began to stomp faster as Chaos slowly got to his feet! The God eventually stood up, and turned around...

...

...

...Hope sidestepped and lifted his foot...

...

...

...

...AND WALKED RIGHT INTO AN IMPENDING JUDGMENT!

"IMPENDING JUDGMENT! OUT OF NOWHERE!" Church stated.

"And this is it! Hope..." Sarge began.

Chaos hooks the leg!

Hope kicks out at 2.9!

"You Just Got-DANGIT, NOT SARGE'D! Oh these kickouts...they make me mad...make me want to kill Grif." Sarge stated.

"Chaos...isn't happy about that...then again, this is him, so NO surprise..." Church stated.

Indeed, Chaos was LIVID at the kickout, angrily telling the ref that was three, but the ref insisted it was just two! Frustrated, Chaos stood up and gave a cutthroat gesture, signifying what was next! He then placed Hope between his legs...

...

...

...lifted him up...

"Time for Hope to go on a Ride...!" Sarge stated.

...

...

...

...Hope got out of it and landed on his feet in front of Chaos! He kicked Chaos in the gut and placed him between his legs and tried to lift him...

"NO! It may be time for some judgment from Heaven!" Church stated.

...

...

...

...Chaos instead stood and lifted Hope onto his shoulders! He twisted him off...

...

...

...

...

...Hope landed on his feet! Chaos turned around, and Hope ducked a clothesline, leaped at the ropes...

...

...

...AND NAILS A SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT!

"And Chaos gets SPIKED on his head on that exchange! Tornado DDT off the Springboard!" Church stated.

"Dammit...I hate to say it...but Chaos..." Sarge began.

Hope quickly hooks the leg!

Chaos kicks out at 2.9!

"And Chaos manages to kick out just before three! This is intense right now!" Church stated.

"Come on Chaos, you can't let Hope win! He's not on your level! The level of a Red!" Sarge exclaimed.

Hope was slightly miffed but kept his cool as he dragged Chaos over to a corner and put him in a position! He then proceeded to climb up the corner with his back turned to Chaos until he stood on it tall, readied himself...

...

...

...

...and Chaos MOVED OUT OF THE WAY of the Moonsault! Hope LANDED on his feet though as Chaos stands up and then runs at Hope! Hope catches the incoming Chaos with a Hurricanrana...

...

...

...

...NO! Chaos HOLDS ON to Hope...and then LIFTS him into a Powerbomb position!

"UH-OH! Bad move by Hope! He may be going for a RIDE!" Church called.

Hope realized what was about to happen and tried to get out of it, punching Chaos repeatedly in the head!

...

...

...But Chaos HELD ON...lifted Hope even higher...

...

...

...

...

...

...AND GAVE HIM THE RIDE TO HELL!

"THE RIDE TO HELL! HOPE WENT ON A RIDE HE WON'T SOON FORGET! HOPE IS LAID OUT!" Church exclaimed.

"FINALLY! FINALLY! Hope..." Sarge began.

Chaos dropped and hooks the leg!

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

("King of Kings" by Motorhead)

"Here is your winner...Chaos the Hedgehog!"

The crowd booed loudly as Chaos let go of Hope's leg and sat up, a satisfied smirk on his face as the ref knelt down and raised his hand in victory. Chaos quickly snatched his hand away from the ref with a snarl before standing up and climbing up a nearby turnbuckle, and stared at the booing crowd for a bit before raising his arms in a god-like manner, shouting "BOW TO THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION" causing even more boos. Chaos sneered at them before looking at the Final Clash sign, and then pointed at it before motioning for the title.

"And Chaos takes THIS chapter in his long-standing rivalry with Hope the Hedgehog, tying things up between them 4-4. Hope nearly got payback for what Chaos did, but all it took was one mistake, and it allowed Chaos to capitalize with the Ride to Hell! And that gives the self-proclaimed God some damn momentum!" Church stated.

"Momentum he's going to take all the way to Final Clash! I love me some Jason, but Chaos is really determined right now! This is a hog who wants a title and will stop at NOTHING to get it! Jason better watch out...or else he may end up like Hope!" Sarge exclaimed.

Chaos got off the turnbuckle and looked down at Hope who was groaning on the mat. Chaos stared down at him before chuckling darkly and then proceeded to give him a kick to the head to loud boos before exiting the ring. He walked up the ramp and only stopped to look at Hope, who was getting up as he held his head, and then glared at Chaos, who sneered and said "Final Clash...NOBODY stands in my way...not you...not ANYBODY..." before exiting to the back. Hope still held his head as he muttered to himself "We'll see about that..."

"Well that's a damn sign of disrespect if I've ever saw it...but then again this is Chaos, so yeah...but Hope obviously isn't going to let this stop him. Either way, Jason better watch it...because it could end for him like that." Church said.

"And speaking of Jason, he'll be in action later tonight against Shadow...who he will DESTROY WITH RIGHTEOUS RED FURY! SHADOW'S A DEAD MAN!" Sarge shouted.

"...Okay, we'll see about that...I guess...either way...things will be something in this rematch tonight." Church said.

The camera switches to backstage, going to Force's office, where we see Force the Fox himself sitting behind his desk having watched the show so far on a TV.

"Pretty good...pretty good so far...the show's been going pretty good so far, REALLY smiled when Robin got that win of his..." Force chuckled...then sighed. "But then there's what MARIO and the Mushroom Kingdom have pulled...dammit, didn't think he would go that far... And Matt ran off trying to get him... Geez...dealing with that WON'T be eas-"

"FORCE!"

Force turned his head...and was surprised to see RIKU walking into the room with a serious look on his face.

"Riku? ...This is unexpected." Force noted. "What brings me the pleasure of having you barge in my office uninvited?"

"...Give me another chance at Money in the Bank." Riku stated.

"Excuse me?" Force raised an eyebrow.

"I want another chance to get into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at Final Clash." Riku stated.

"Riku...you had your chance against Gold...and you lost. He advanced...you didn't. You know how these things g-" Force was cut off by Riku.

"I know, I know...but I see Sora going to Final Clash with that punk, Tidus...and I want to be doing something at Final Clash like he is. I want a shot at something big like he is on that field I WANT to be on the big stage like I used to...even if I lose on it. WHICH I don't plan to, but you get my point. I want a second chance...because I KNOW I deserve it, and I REFUSE to be left off the card without a damn fight! If Sora's going, so will I... So please...GIVE ME a second chance. And I'll make the most of it...I KNOW I will..." Riku proclaimed seriously.

Force took in Riku's words...and pondered them silently. Riku awaited Force's decision anxiously, gritting his teeth as he couldn't afford a "No"...and then...

"...Alright...I'll be generous, Riku...VERY generous since it seems you won't accept a negative for answer. You'll get a second chance at Money in the Bank..." Force stated.

"Yes!" Riku grinned.

"BUT...this will be your LAST chance..there's only one spot left in Money in the Bank, and second chances to get into a match like this are RARE around here. You won't get another opportunity. So either win...or go home." Force stated. "Simple as that..."

"You got it...trust me...I KNOW I can win. Won't be too hard." Riku smirked.

"By the way...that final Money in the Bank Qualifying Match...it's NEXT." Force stated with a cool gaze. "So how about you head to the gorilla position and see if you can win it?"

Riku was surprised at what Force said...but quickly nodded. "Understood..." Riku then left the office to head towards the ring, and Force just leaned his feet on the desk.

"Well...this should be interesting." Force noted as he turned his attention to the TV.

---

"Man, did I just see that? Riku just managed to convince Force to give him another chance at Money in the Bank! Not many people would've been able to do that!" Church stated.

"Well, I can get behind that! Can't believe Gold got in, but Riku can do something about that loss now! HE CAN GET IN! And I wouldn't have any problems with that! Doesn't matter WHO he's facing! Probably some dirty Blue..." Sarge stated.

"Well we see how true THAT is, Sarge, because as Force said, the final Money in the Bank Qualifying Match is next...and it's NOW..." 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. With a sly smirk, he tipped his hat over his eyes and twirled the cane above him for a few seconds before bringing it down to a flash of pyro all around him. Sly then shot his head up and made his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans at ringside before making his way to the apron and climbing up the nearest turnbuckle, raising his cane in the air, shouting "THE SONY SAINTS ARE COMING BACK...AT FINAL CLASH!"

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

"Sly Cooper looking to enter Money in the Bank for the Sony Saints, who have been trying to mount a comeback for months now, with varying levels of success, recently having failed to get the World Title inside the Elimination Chamber! The Saints have been through a few ups and downs so far, but they recently got a big up after beating the XCW Tag Champs, the South Park 4, on FUSION 6! And Sly looks to use that momentum to get into Money in the Bank here!" Church stated.

"As if! No way will a damn Sony Saints EVER make it into Money in the Bank this year! They can't! Because they would RUIN the Money in the Bank Ladder Match! RUIN! FUSION 6 was a FLUKE! And that fluke ends here!" Sarge stated.

"Sly won the first-ever UCA Money in the Bank Ladder Match back in 2006, so he would love to do it again this year, but he needs to get past Riku in order to do so!" Church said.

("Pardon Me" by Incubus)

The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Riku came out from the back, this time a serious look about him. He ignored the crowd and simply made his way down the ramp before coming up to the ring, and then got on the apron. He looked at the raccoon in the ring, and managed to give a small smirk, and said to him "Watch me head to Final Clash" which earned a grin from the thief, before entering the ring and climbing up a turnbuckle, pointing to the Final Clash sign with vigor.

"And his opponent, from Destiny Islands, weighing in at 253 lbs., Riku!"

"And Riku is walking into this match with one more chance to get into Money in the Bank at Final Clash! He doesn't want Sora to have all the fun, and Force has given him the final chance to get the final spot! And you can tell he wants to make the most of it!" Church stated.

"RIKU ALL THE WAY! I'll take him over the damn Saint any day! If Sly is in the match, then ALL IS LOST! The world shall implode if it hasn't already thanks to Robin winning! We don't need THIS travesty happening! DOWN WITH THE SAINTS!" Sarge exclaimed.

"...People, I apologize for the insanity of Sarge...no, really..." Church deadpanned. "In any case, Riku's got one last chance, and Sly wants to make these last few months worth it. Two men wanting a comeback, but only one can get it!"

The ref checked on both of them, and then rang the bell, and the two circled the ring at each other. Riku went in for a lock-up, but Sly ducked around him, and nailed a kick to the leg. Riku was annoyed and threw a right, but Sly ducked and nailed a kick to the side. Not wanting to deal with this, he grabbed Sly and pushed him into the ropes, but the coon ducked the clothesline as he bounced back, bounced off the adjacent ropes and nailed a Running Dropkick to the face of Riku! Riku got up but Sly whipped him into the ropes, and caught him with a Jumping Calf Kick to the jaw, causing Riku to roll out of the ring! Riku was surprised by the onslaught and silently cursed to himself as he walked around the ring to regroup. But Sly wasn't giving him a breather as while Riku walked around ringside, Sly suddenly nailed a Baseball Slide on him from inside the ring, sending him into the barricade! Sly sat in the ring, legs hanging out over the apron under the ropes, and just said "Oops...sorry" with a smirk.

"And Sly with FULL CONTROL of this match right now! Riku being taken down by Sly with ease, and the thief is just LOVING it right now!" Church stated.

"He SHOULDN'T be loving it! He shouldn't be doing this right now! RIKU! Do something! DON'T LET HIM ENJOY HIMSELF!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sly exited the ring and picked up Riku, throwing him back into the squared circle, then got on the apron waiting for Riku to get up, then nailed him with a Springboard Dropkick! Sly covers Riku! 1...2...Riku kicks out! Sly picked up Riku and quickly nailed a Body Slam on him, placing him near the ropes before getting on the apron. He grasped the ropes, and flipped himself over them...and landed back-first on Riku's lifted knees! Sly stumbled to his feet, holding his back in pain, but was immediately grabbed from behind by Riku, and planted with a Back Suplex! Riku quickly knelt down and laid down several fists to the skull of Sly before picking him up and whipping him into the corner, then running and kneeing Sly in the corner in the gut and then pulled him in for a Northern Lights Suplex!

"Riku finally getting in the driver's seat and taking it to Sly here, and he's certainly not wasting any motion!" Church stated.

"Give him the one-two, Riku! ONE-TWO! Make a Saint wish he wasn't a Saint! THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE HERE!" Sarge exclaimed.

"...You sure you aren't talking about YOURSELF when you say that?" Church questioned.

"No, I am not! Because I CLEARLY know what I'm talking about!" Sarge replied.

"Suuuuurrreee you do..." Church drawled out.

Riku stood up to his feet after that move, and flashed a slight cocky smirk at being in control, and nodded his head towards the Final Clash sign. He then stomped on Sly before picking him up, where the thief tried to nail a few shots, but Riku kneed him in the gut, then bounced off the ropes, and booted him in the face! Riku again picked him up, but Sly suddenly nailed a Sit-Out Jawbreaker on Riku, stunning him! Sly then bounced off the ropes...and right into an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex by Riku! The thief stumbled up to his feet...and right into a HARD Lariat!

"And Sly gets his head damn near taken off by Riku with that Lariat!" Church proclaimed.

"He doesn't need his damn head anyway, I say good riddance to it!" Sarge stated.

Riku covered Sly!

Sly kicks out!

Riku quickly grabs Sly and puts in a Headlock, and wrenched on the head as much as possible, with Sly gritting his teeth. However, the crowd slowly began to clap for Sly to will him on and slowly but surely, Sly stood up as Riku held on. Suddenly, Riku nailed an elbow to the skull to stun Sly, then nailed a Pendulum Backbreaker on him! He then got to the corner and got to the second turnbuckle of the corner...dived off...

...and Sly got the knees up, Riku's elbow crashing into them! Riku stumbled up, holding his elbow in pain, but then got nailed with an Enziguri out of nowhere! Riku was staggered...and Sly planted him with an Inverted DDT from behind!

"And Sly with the Inverted DDT! Sly trying to get back into this!" Church exclaimed.

...

Riku kicks out!

"That's it, Riku! Kick out like you mean it! Make sure no Saint gets ANYTHING!" Sarge stated.

Sly picked up Riku, but Riku suddenly pushed him into the ropes, and tried to catch him on the bounce back with a fist, but Sly ducked and ran to the adjacent ropes, and leaped at the ropes...

...

...Riku DUCKED the Ninja Spire Kick! Sly landed on his feet and turned around...

...

...and right into a Running STO!

"Oh, Sly ran RIGHT into that one from Riku! Momentum grounded to a HALT!" Church stated.

Riku quickly picked up Sly, hooked the arms...

...

...and planted Sly with a Double Arm DDT!

"Hah, now THAT'S how you do a Double Arm DDT! How'd you like that you dirty SAINTS! Sly..." Sarge began.

Riku covered Sly!

...

2...

...

Sly kicks out!

"You Just Got...Oh dagnabbit, he kicked out! Ugh...fine, Saints always try to linger anyway, might as well make them suffer more." Sarge noted.

Riku scowled, not liking the kickout one bit, before picking up Sly and dragging him to a corner and placing him on the top turnbuckle. He then tried to climb up, but Sly began kicking Riku in the head, trying to get him away. One final kick sent Riku off the turnbuckle, and Sly looked to stand up fully on the top...

...Riku quickly came back and nailed Sly with a fist, stunning him! Riku then quickly climbed up the corner, and grabbed Sly! He threw an arm over his head, readied themselves...and lifted Sly...

...

...Sly floated over Riku and landed behind in the ring, avoiding the Superplex! Sly suddenly leaped up...

...

...

...AND PULLED RIKU DOWN OFF THE CORNER FOR A DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER!

"OOOOHHH! Riku's back may need to go a Chiropractor after that! That was a NASTY Double Knee Backbreaker right there!" Church exclaimed.

"NOOOOOO! Riku's back is PRECIOUS! Precious to the Reds! Damn you Sly, that's ANOTHER reason why I hate you Saints!" Sarge proclaimed.

Riku writhed around in the ring, his back in immense pain before he managed to pull himself up to his feet. He held his back as he lurched forward trying to relieve the pain...

...

...

...

...AND GOT A NINJA SPIRE KICK OUT OF NOWHERE!

"NINJA SPIRE KICK! RIGHT ON THE MONEY! RIKU MAY BE OUT OF IT!" Church exclaimed.

"WHAT?! NO! NO! KICK OUT, RIKU! KICK OUT! FOR A SAINTS-FREE MONEY IN THE BANK!" Sarge shouted.

Sly hooks the leg!

...

...

2...

...

...

Riku kicks out at 2.99!

"YES! OH THANK GOD! That was too close...too close...DAMN YOU SLY FOR NEARLY GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK!" Sarge shouted.

"Sly NEARLY had it, he was just ONE split second away from advancing! And now he's wondering what the hell he can do here." Church stated.

Sly indeed got on his knees, a slightly frustrated look on his face as he tried to think of what to do next...then snapped his fingers as a though came to him with a grin! He got up, went to a corner...then began UNTYING the covering for the top turnbuckle! The ref saw this and pulled Sly away, reprimanding him for that! Sly held his hands up in defense as the ref tried to retie the cover! Sly then SLOOOOWWWLLLLYYY backed up with an innocent whistle to the adjacent corner...

...

...and began to casually untie THAT top turnbuckle covering, all the while whistling and looking innocent to laughs from the crowd as the ref didn't see!

"That SNEAKY thief...! He got the ref distracted so he can untie a cover from one of the turnbuckles! He just can't help himself!" Church exclaimed.

"HEY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! IT'S AGAINST THE RULES!" Sarge exclaimed.

"But don't you LOVE it when a "Red" does it?" Church questioned.

"THEY DESERVE THE PRAISE FOR IT! SLY DOES NOT!" Sarge shouted.

Sly finished his work and pulled off the covering, exposing the turnbuckle! He then went over to Riku to do something with him...

...

...but Riku suddenly got up and nailed a VICIOUS boot to the skull, stunning him right there and then! Riku then grabbed Sly and lifted him onto his shoulders...

...

...but Sly managed to land behind Riku, and grabbed him in an Inverted Facelock!

"Honor Among Thieves COMING UP!" Church exclaimed.

Sly went for that very maneuver as he began to twist himself...

...

...

...but Riku spun out of it, and pushed Sly into the ropes! Sly bounced off them, and duked a clothesline, and leaped at Riku from behind and tried for a Crucifix Pin...

...

...

...but Riku HELD ON! He stayed standing as Sly held onto the arms and PULLED Sly onto his shoulders! Sly struggled in his grip, but Riku held on as he ran...

...

...

...AND NAILED A RUNNING SAMOAN DROP!

"SLY GOT CAUGHT AND PAID THE PRICE! Sly gets planted HARD!" Church exclaimed.

"HAH! That's what you get for cheating, you dirty Saint! And now, Sly..." Sarge began.

Riku covered Sly!

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

Sly kicks out!

"You Just Got-GODDAGNABBIT! Why don't you Saints ever stay down for a three count! SERIOUSLY?! We would all be better off if you did!" Sarge exclaimed.

Riku felt the same way (mostly) as he got to a knee and looked down at Sly with a frustrated look on his face. He tried to think of what to do...

...

...but then caught sight of the exposed turnbuckle that was the result of Sly's meddling! It was then that Riku got an idea, and smirked down at the fallen thief! He then picked him up...lifted him onto his shoulder...

...

...and faced the exposed turnbuckle!

"Uh-oh...I think Sly's face about to meet some steel!" Church stated.

"DO IT, RIKU! DO IT! Make his face UNRECOGNIZABLE!" Sarge exclaimed.

Riku readied himself...then ran towards the exposed turnbuckle...

...

...but Sly LANDED BEHIND Riku and pushed him towards the corner!

...

...

...Riku managed to stop himself just before he the steel! He breathed a sigh of relief...

...

...

...BUT SLY DROPKICKED HIM FROM BEHIND, SENDING HIM INTO THE EXPOSED STEEL!

"PLAN BACKFIRED! PLAN BACKFIRED! Riku's the one to taste the steel as he was MEANT TO!" Church exclaimed.

"HE CHEATED! THAT DAMN RACCOON CHEATED! NO, IT CAN'T BE LIKE THIS!" Sarge shouted.

Riku stumbled backwards away from the corner in a daze...and Sly grabbed him in an Inverted Facelock...

...

...

...

...AND PLANTED HIM WITH THE HONOR AMONG THIEVES!

"HONOR AMONG THIEVES! Sly got ALL OF IT this time around!" Church shouted.

"NO NO NO NO NO NO! THIS CAN'T BE! NOT A DIRTY SAINT!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sly tightly hooks the leg!

"AND SLY COOPER'S HEADING TO MONEY IN THE BANK!" Church shoute.

"GODDAMMIT!" Sarge cursed.

("Sin With A Grin" by Shinedown)

"Here is your winner...SLY COOPER!"

The crowd cheered loudly as Sly rolled off of Riku, and sat up, a big ol' smirk on his face as the ref knelt down and raised Sly's hand in victory! Sly got up and quickly climbed up a corner as the crowd cheered all around before he looked up at the Final Clash sign with a look of satisfaction on his face. He then pointed to it, grinning as he said "Oh yeah...the Saints are going there...and it's going to be a blast." Sly then got of the turnbuckle, exiting the ring before grabbing his family cane and shouldering, walking up the ramp with a grin on his face.

"Sly Cooper comes out on top in this Qualifying Match, and Riku didn't make it easy for him considering his own desire, but Sly managed to get one over on him so he can head to Final Clash!" Church stated.

"REVERSE DECISION! REVERSE DECISION! Sly cheated! Can't you see that he did?! That is wrong on so many levels, and as such, the Sony Saints should be punished! They do not deserve this!" Sarge shouted.

"...You dumbass...how many times must I say that you would have exploded for joy if this happened to Sly instead of Riku?" Church questioned.

"Oh like anything you say is TRUE, dirtbag..." Sarge stated.

"At least, I'm SANE...somewhat..." Church exclaimed.

When Sly reached the ramp, he saw his stablemates, Ratchet and Jak, coming from the back to meet him at the ramp. Ratchet had a smirk on his face as he clapped a bit, saying "That's what I'm talking about..." before high-fiving Sly. Jak wasn't as forthcoming, but he did grin and nod at Sly before firstbumping with him. Sly stood with the rest of Sony Saints, turning to the Final Clash sign, and pointed his cane towards it...

...and a Final Clash Match Card Graphic appeared on the screen, with ladders and the MITB logo appearing all around, with the ten competitors for it on it: Sonic nodding his head as he had a serious look, Crash Bandicoot bobbing his head wildly before looking up with a crazy grin, Scourge adjusting his sunglasses downward as he flashed a toothy smirk, Cage holding the Internet Title over a shoulder as he ran a hand through his hair, Toad holding up his hands Miz-style before throwing them outward, Bowser roaring like a monster before scowling hungrily, Gold holding up a Diamond Cutter gesture as he grinned like an idiot, Naruto adjusting his headband before throwing a thumbs-up with a smile, Takuya smirking cockily as he crossed his arms over his chest, and Sly twirling his cane before shouldering it with a mischievous grin.

"Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot, Scourge the Hedgehog, Johnny Cage, Toad, Bowser, Gold, Naruto Uzumaki, Takuya Kanbara, and Sly Cooper...Money in the Bank is finally set...one of these ten men is walking out of Final Clash Mr. Money in the Bank!" Church exclaimed.

"NOT the most ideal line-up I would have hoped for...but it promises to be a hell of a car wreck when it goes down...as a long dirty blue Sony Saint doesn't win it all..." Sarge grumbled.

"Ten men...one briefcase...a chance at the World Title anytime they want...it all goes down at the biggest show in UCA history!" Church stated.

---

The camera went back to the interview area once again, and this time we're joined by Donut...

"Hey guys! Man...Sarge was really angry after that last match...don't worry, Sarge, I'm sure some of your guys will make you REAL happy soon..." Donut stated, NOT aware of the innuendo behind that one. "In any case, I'm joined by a very special person, and she had a bad night last week! I'm hoping that this interview makes her filled with sprinkles and rainbows! Please welcome Kiva Andru!"

The crowd cheered as Kiva made her way into the area, a serious and still somewhat pissed off look on her face.

"Now Kiva," Donut began. "...as I said before, last week...um...things didn't go your way against Green, who kinda pulled one under your nose...and then afterwards she told you that you may not be the worth the hype that has surrounded you, which I'm sure REALLY made you mad. And now you have to have all that in the back of your mind as you have a match tonight! Do you have any words about this and your match tonight?"

"...You know...I STILL can't believe that crap happened to me last week. I really can't... The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off! Green gave me the chance for a match with her, to really show what I could do...and then she decides to pull THAT out from under me just to satisfy her own stupid urges, and has the GALL to say that I may not be worth the hype?! SCREW THAT CRAP! SHE doesn't have any right to say that after what she did, legend or not, and I'm almost 100 percent certain that if she didn't do what she did...what would be talked about would be COMPLETELY opposite of what actually happened...but you know what? She can take her words and shove them up her ass! And if she doesn't, I'll do it for her when I prove her wrong about me, starting tonight! Because I KNOW what I'm capable of, and I plan on proving just that to ev-"

"Oh my God, you are STILL on that?"

Kiva narrowed her eyes as she turned around...as GREEN came onto the screen and faced with Kiva, a smirk on her face. Donut looked between the two...

"...Oooohhh, are we having a party? Is this a way to make up for everything?! I'll go get some things to set up!" Donut exclaimed before running off, leaving the two alone.

"...Wow...he's something..." Green chuckled. "Anyways...man, here I thought you were actually above this?! You STILL bitching about that?! Why?! Is that truth THAT hard to take?! Come on, can't you take it like a woman?! You LOST, and I found out what was true from experience...you AREN'T worth the hype! It's pretty much fact, since you couldn't hack it against me or expect what was most LIKELY to happen! Maybe it IS a bit hard to take...but once you accept that fact, it makes things a little easier, you know. Hey, not everyone can be a top star or legend, you know?" Green smirked as she placed her hands on her hips. "Fact of the business."

"GET OFF your high horse, Green!" Kiva scowled. "Because I'm NOT taking anything you say as FACT! You think just because you say that or cheated a win out of me that I can't be somebody?! Yeah, that makes TOTAL sense! Hell, why should I listen to you when I know that if it was a FAIR match, one-on-one, none of that crap you pulled last week...your shoulders would have been pinned to the mat 1-2-3, and there would be no doubt as to the hype!"

"...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Green laughed, angering Kiva even further. "Ahahahaha...oh man, that was funny, Kiva...REALLY funny. Got a good laugh out of me...? You...beating me... You being worth the hype... Yeah, that's the joke of the century right there! Kiva, come on...you may put up a good fight...but you just wouldn't be able to pull it off!"

"...Then how about you try and prove it...with a rematch?" Kiva challenged, inciting a few cheers.

"...Naaahhh...because you already had your chance, and lost. And I didn't get a lot of second chances back when I rising through the ranks...so why should you?" Green grinned, while Kiva gritted her teeth. But since you seem so determined to try and disprove my words...I'll watch your match tonight...VERY closely. Who knows...could actually be interesting...see ya soon..."

Green left the area then, leaving an even more pissed off Kiva watching her leave. Donut came back with a bunch of tea cups and dolls...

"...Hey, where did Green go? The party was just about to start..." Donut stated.

---

"...Well that's ONE way to piss Kiva off if I've ever seen it...Green seems, well...convinced...on her opinion of Kiva if nothing else..." Church stated.

"You know...for once...I AGREE with Green! She's not all that! Kiva isn't worth the hype, and dammit why can't she see that?!" Sarge questioned.

"Because if you believe that for a second, then you aren't cut out for the business. And Kiva feels she's worth more than that! She has a match tonight to try and put that sort of stuff to rest, but I have a feeling this isn't over between them at all..." Church stated.

("Flatlined" by Modern Echo)

"Oooohhhh boy...I think we know what's about to happen NOW..." Church stated.

The crowd cheered loudly as Fox McCloud came out onto the stage, a hard look on his face as he wore his Star Fox jacket. He looked out to the crowd before nodding and made his way down the ramp, and once he made it to the ring, he grabbed a mic from the ringside crew and quickly entered the ring. He walked around it a bit, taking in the whole situation.

"Ladies and gentleman, please welcome..."Captain Classic" Fox McCloud!"

"And Fox is BACK in UCA after what was a shocking return last week, where he made Starforce pay for everything he's done by costing him a Money in the Bank spot! And he wants Starforce here and now since he's not done with him by a long shot!" Church stated.

"WHY DIDN'T HE JUST STAY AWAY?! WHY?! Because Starforce proved that he's just a piece of trash in today's wrestling! Star Fox can't do anything anymore, yet he still has to make a big deal! Damn, why is the truth so hard to accept?!" Sarge questioned.

"Because Starforce has done so much shit to Fox and his friends, that there was NO WAY that Fox was gonna let this slide! And this is more personal than you can imagine! And now, Fox is out here, and we can only imagine what goes down here..." Church stated.

Fox stood in the middle of the ring, mic in hand as he quickly glanced at the Final Clash sign before he spoke into the mic...

"You know...I could go on a big rant right now, just say so much based on feelings, the time I've been out, who I hate, and so much more...but I'm gonna skip all that and go right to why I'm here. Geo Stelar..." Fox gritted out. "I know you're back there, and I think I've given you enough incentive for this... Get out here...NOW."

"And Fox is calling out Starforce here and now! And you'd have to be stupid to think he won't come out here after what's happened!" Church stated.

"Yeah...and Fox is gonna regret EVER doing this once Starforce is done with him! Biggest mistake EVER...of all time." Sarge said.

Fox paced around the ring a bit, waiting for Starforce to answer his call...

("Burn in My Light" by Mercy Drive)

The crowd booed loudly as Starforce Megaman came out onto the stage, a VERY angry scowl full of hate on his face which was directed at Fox in the ring. He had a mic in the ring as he wasted NO TIME in making his way to the ring!

"And here comes the Gaming Killer...and boy, does he look PISSED... This may not end well..." Church stated.

"PUNT HIS HEAD, KID! PUNT HIS HEAD!" Sarge cheered.

Starforce quickly wasted no motion entering the ring, and came face-to-face with Fox, who matched the hate from Starforce with his own, the two not backing down one bit! It could explode any second! Eventually...Starforce spoke up...

"...WHY?" Starforce hissed out with venom. "...Why? Just...WHY?"

"...Why WHAT?" Fox replied with his own venom.

"...WHY...is that every time I proclaim Star Fox is dead...when I'm CERTAIN that that's the case... One of you ALWAYS has to try and make it seem that ISN'T TRUE!" Starforce exclaimed in frustration. "I gave you the cold hard truth of Star Fox being dead nearly three months ago when it came to you and your career, you smash a glass plate over my skull! I punt your damn head off and send you to the hospital to get the point across, then your little Ace, Falco, jumps in and tries to proclaim it's not dead! I punt him, Slippy, and Peppy to the moon and end Star Fox DEFINITELY...YOU decide to come back and stick your nose where it doesn't belong! WHY?! I keep ending Star Fox OVER AND OVER again! And yet you all just keep trying to say that it's still beating, when it's corpse is lying in plain sight for all to see! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS?! BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, I'M PRETTY FED UP WITH THIS!"

"...Funny thing...I'M fed up just as much you are... Well, fed up with YOU AND YOUR FREAKIN' CRAP!" Fox shouted, glaring at Starforce. "Because for the past month, I've been forced into a hospital bed by you, and had to watch as you took out each of my friends ONE...BY...ONE. Peppy and Slippy didn't even HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS! And yet you brought them into this JUST to try and "kill" Star Fox! I had to watch you break Falco's arm and send him to the infirmary! And when I saw you downgrade and verbally assault Krystal...well, that was IT. No way in hell I was staying in the hospital and letting you getting away with all of THAT! I was lucky that the doctors cleared me and said that I wasn't as badly hurt as I could've been! And when they told me that, I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do! And last week was just the BEGINNING of what I have in store for you! Because this is PERSONAL...and I'm gonna enjoy EVERY SECOND of tearing you apart!"

"Oh NO...NO NO NO NO NO...we're NOT going through this again!" Starforce proclaimed, gaining some boos in the process. "I KILLED your ass! I put you on the list of my victims, along with the rest of your little friends! You don't just "come back" and say Star Fox is still alive out of the blue! I KILLED STAR FOX! You don't get deader than what I did at Last Stand! At this point, I'm not going to waste my time beating on a weeks-old corpse! It's REDUNDANT at this point! You may be back, but the spirit of Star Fox is dead! Done for! Buried for good! And EVERYONE in this arena and around the world KNOWS IT! You want to hang onto a lie, be my guest, but I'm not going to play your game, and I'm not wasting any more time on this! I got BETTER things to do and worry about! So screw you!" Starforce was about to head out to boos when suddenly...

"...Then how come I'm standing here if Star Fox is "dead"...?" Fox suddenly asked, which caught Starforce's attention as he was about to exit through the ropes...

"...Excuse me...?" Starforce questioned as he got back into the ring, somewhat incredulous at that.

"You heard me...if you "killed" Star Fox, definitively did it at Last Stand...then how come I standing here, having screwed you out of Money in the Bank?!" Fox questioned. "Now I won't lie...what you did to me...was one of the worst beatings I've EVER taken in my career! I can't remember the last time I as left motionless and bloodied like you left me...you got one hell of a sadistic streak that few can match...but despite all the odds, despite the fact that I shouldn't have been back for MONTHS...I'm HERE NOW. Standing before you, able to make your life hell and sure as hell able to win this battle! What does THAT say to your claims?! To you having taken down the spirit of what you've been going after?! WHAT DOES THAT SAY?! ...I think it say that you're full of crap and that you might be afraid you won't be able to take me down this time around! ...Then again...then again, you likely have as much luck putting me down as your girlfriend does with Emmy at CCW. Guess that's one thing you two have in common, huh?"

The crowd went "OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!" as Starforce's eyes were WIDE with rage and hatred after that comment as he LITERALLY got in the face of Fox and snarled, but the Star Fox pilot did NOT back down as he snarled right back. After awhile, Starforce managed to utter some words...

"...For once, I try to be the guy to let things go, to move to better things...and yet, you REALLY must want to die, don't you? You REALLY want to do this all over again?" Starforce questioned. "Because this time...I WON'T make the mistake of letting you live..."

"...I'm sure, Geo...I'm DAMN SURE..." Fox replied angrily. "But I'm the not the one that's going down here...no, see, this time around...I'm making sure YOU don't get up. And every blow I inflict...will be for each of my friends. ...We're settling this once and for all...and we're going to have the match we were SUPPOSED to have months ago...and I know where to have it..."

Fox McCloud then lifted his hand...and pointed to the Final Clash sign, never taking his eyes off of Starforce...

"...YOU...ME... FINAL CLASH... Star Fox vs Star Force...what do ya say?" Fox questioned, the crowd exploding at the sound of that challenge.

"...You know what they say...third time's the charm, right?" Starforce stated, a malice in his eyes. "You want it THAT badly? Then fine...at Final Clash...I put the FINAL NAIL in your coffin...and this time, there isn't any coming back for you."

"We'll see about that, Starforce...but I promise you one thing..." Fox growled out. "You're going to pay for everything you did ten-fold. If I go down...YOU are going down with me. Count on it."

No more words were exchanged as the two had their foreheads against each other, staring intensely at each other as the fans around them went crazy, tensions and hatred at an all-time high between the two.

"It's SET everybody! It is SET! Fox McCloud and Starforce Megaman will settle the score at Final Clash, and with how personal it is, this one's gonna be as nasty as they come!" Church stated.

"You got that right dirtbag, the hatred is strong in this one, and we all know that Starforce Megaman will take this one! Come on, history repeats itself! The Reds ALWAYS WIN! You damn right that's the truth!" Sarge stated.

"You always say that, Sarge...find new material. Anyways, there's no telling what will happen between Starforce and Fox...but it's going to be one hell of war, that much I am certain of." Church stated...but then he heard something in his headset. "Huh...? What's that...? ...Woah, you serious, why didn't you tell us sooner, man?!"

"What's going on dirtbag?" Sarge questioned.

"I'm getting word that we got an update on Matt, and that he's now arriving at the scene of Platinum Berlitz's mansion! Oh man, shit's about to go down! We're connecting the feed right now!" Church exclaimed.

The camera went to what seemed to be the outside of the Berlitz mansion...

...and it was just moments later that Matt was seen coming up on the distance on Garurumon, having called him from the Digital World using the laptop he got to open a Digi-Portal! Garurumon came up to the mansion, and Matt wasted no time in getting off of him, and quickly ran up to it!

"PLATINUM!" Matt shouted before kicking the door down and entering the mansion. He saw the entire state that it was in on the inside, and immediately got to work searching around it.

"PLATINUM! PLATINUM, WHERE ARE YOU?!" Matt exclaimed as he kicked over a knocked over shelf. "DAMMIT MARIO!" He looked into a room, and slammed his hand onto a wall. "YOU BETTER COME OUT WITH HER, OR I SWEAR TO GOD, YOU'RE GONNA END UP A BROKEN MESS!" Matt kicked a door open, and cursed to himself when he found nothing and continued his way down the hallway. "F*CK! MARIO, I'M GONNA KICK YOUR AS-"

"Thanks Matt!"

"...Huh?" Matt paused in his anger for a bit as he turned around...

...

...

...and saw a Toad in front of him in the living room! But it wasn't the Toad that we all know, in fact, it seemed like some random Toad you always saw in the original Super Mario video games! His smile was wide and grateful!

"...What in the...?" Matt questioned.

"Thanks Matt! Thank you so much for coming and saving us! But the princess is another castle! So sorry! You can find her there!" The Toad told him, a grateful smile on his face, while Matt seemed incredulous and confused.

"Princess...? In another castle...? What the heck are you talking ab-"

"Oh, Matt, Matt, Matt..." Matt immediately tensed up as he turned around...

...and saw a TV there, which showed MARIO on it, smirking as he had Platinum, still tied up and gagged as she struggled. "Frustrating, isn't it? To work so hard and travel so far, only to realize that who you're looking for is NOT there. Can be quite the anger-inducing thing, can't it? Hope the Toad there is keeping you good company thought." Mario chuckled and Matt was just getting more and more pissed.

"...Goddammit, you son of a bitch..." Matt cursed as he stared the TV in anger, pissed that Mario lead him on and wasn't even there anymore.

"But just to ease you, me and Platinum have been having a good time, we've been getting to know each other SOOOOOOO much! Isn't that right, Platinum?!" Mario chuckled while Platinum glared at him while trying to escape from her binds. "Hahaha, yes, isn't she enjoying herself? Me and the Mushroom Kingdom truly have had the greatest of times...hell, we're on a Sinnoh tour right now!" Mario then turned...and the TV panned out to reveal a beautiful lake in his sight. "Lake Verity...isn't it so beautiful? Why don't you join us, Matt? We would LOVE your company! Though you better hurry, and we could already be taking the next stop on our tour if you don't show up in time...and if you don't show up..." Mario then rubbed the chin of Platinum, who squirmed before he smirked. "...well who knows what might happen to dear Platinum Berlitz here? ...See you later, Matt!"

The TV turned off, leaving only silence...until Matt kicked it down in pure frustration, the TV shattering upon hitting the ground!

"...When I get my hands on him, that bastard's DEAD, I SWEAR...! Shit!" Matt cursed as he ran out of the mansion to Garurumon, to try and catch Mario!

A/N: Geez...TOO LONG since I last updated, huh? I have not given up on this, but lack of inspiration and motivation, distractions in videos, music, and other stuff, and finally college and stuff tend to take time, but luckily, I've managed to get enough to work on this and get this done finally! And I can only hope that this was completely worth it! It took a lot of time and work, and had to push myself to finish it! A lot of stuff happened this chapter, a good chunk of it with FC implications, and trust me, it's only the beginning here!

In any case, as always, if you have any ideas or suggestions, PM them to me, and I may consider them, but I can't guarantee anything! Make sure to leave reviews, because they are much loved! Until next time!
