Raging Scourge w/Money in the Bank Competitors
"Welcome everyone...to the Raging Scourge."
The crowd gave a mixed reaction because some of their favorites were there...and because it was Scourge hosting it. Sly Cooper, Gold, Takuya Kanbara, Bowser, Sonic, Toad, Naruto Uzumaki, and Johnny Cage sat around the ring (Crash wasn't there as he was still gone thanks to NCW WrestleWars) as the ring was covered in a black sheet, had certain "tears" on it all, stools they all sat on, some royal decorating for the "King," the Raging Scourge symbol at the center of the ring. Ladders were all around the ring, while the Money in the Bank briefcase hung above them all, and Scourge in the middle...
...but he wasn't happy. His tone wasn't his usual cocky, arrogant spiel nor was it full of energy. No, it was angry, frustrated, and lacking in patience. And anybody who watched Pride & Glory knew why. Scourge seethed in his seat for a few seconds before continuing...
"We are five days away from Final Clash...and the ten of us...oops, wait, I mean nine because a Bandicoot couldn't make it because he was murdered..." The crowd BOOED loudly at this callous statement. "...the nine of us go into Money in the Bank for practically a guaranteed World Title whenever we want. And I've gathered us here for one final stop before it. Now...this is the part where I ask you all your thoughts on winning before you lose to me..."
"...But that's not happening." Scourge growled. "I did that for everyone else in my last Raging Scourge before P&G...let them all talk. So THIS time...you ALL don't get talk. I get to talk, YOU get to listen, and YOU find out WHY I'M winning this match!"
Scourge stood up out of his seat, an angry expression on his face as he continued. "...I had it at Pride & Glory. I HAD IT! The Toon Championship, I FREAKIN' HAD IT! Charlie Brown was a broken mess I Speared in TWO! He wasn't going to kick out! I HAD HIM! I COULD TASTE THE TITLE! FEEL MY THRONE! ...UNTIL TOMMY F*CKIN' OLIVER, THE STUPID POWER RANGER, TOOK IT ALL AWAY! He RUINED it for me! He COST me MY Toon Championship after I was so close! ...I got to Spear his ass in vengeance...but that's NOT enough, oh HELL NO, it doesn't make up for it! So NOW...you don't get USUAL Scourge...oh no, you get a SCOURGE HELLBENT on winning THIS match after that bullcrap!
Scourge walked across the line stars, looking at them all with a scowl before continuing. "I have been kept away from my throne FAR TOO MANY TIMES. And it ENDS NOW. I WON this match before in 2008, I KNOW what it takes! And I'm gonna do it AGAIN! Because this is a King who will TEAR YOU ALL APART to get that briefcase! And if I DON'T win this match? ...You all will WISH I did because the consequences if I don't will be something you DON'T see coming! I'm the King of the World, and I WILL tear you all apart come Sunday night! Doesn't matter if your a washed-up thief, overgrown turtle, my lesser counterpart, or a JOKE! Money in the Bank is MINE AT ANY COST! And you will all will LEARN to HAIL THE KING, B-"
"Scourge, do us all a favor and save our ears by SHUTTING UP." Sly suddenly piped up on his mic to loud cheers, earning a glare from Sly. "So you got an easy victory over CB taken away from you and you're ticked, that's something to behold. You really think you intimidate us? Scare us?"
"I SHOULD because you have NO IDEA what I'll bring on you all if I DON'T win..." Scourge growled.
"Yeah, well, I'm still not convinced either way. I can handle you, and I'm PRETTY sure everyone else here can, it's NOT that hard." Sly smirked slyly as Scourge glared at him. "Besides, you're not winning...neither is anyone else...because I am. You talked about winning this match in 2008? Funny, because I strangely recall a devilishly handsome, quick-witted raccoon winning the FIRST iteration of this match back in 2006. Remember that?" The crowd popped at the reference. "...I DO. And as far as I'm concerned, I'm the king of this match! NOT you. The time for a comeback for not just me, but the Sony Saints is NOW. And Money in the Bank is the KEY to that, and I know I can win this match again. It's what I do best? So I hope you're all ready for me to steal Money in the Bank case number two, and World Title number three. After all...that's what a master thief does best, right?" Sly winked with a grin...
"YOU? WIN? Come on, Sly, this is what? Comeback attempt number 500? You really need to find something better to do with your time." Cage grinned as he adjusted his Internet Title over his shoulder. "Coon, your time is up. Just accept it...because MY time is now. I've been through more than ANY of you all. I was treated like a JOKE by you people, NONE of you took me SERIOUSLY. You thought I couldn't hack it...but the RR did. They knew I just needed a chance...so they gave me that chance. And where are we now people? Where are we now? ...Internet Champion...making this belt legitimate...PINNING Bugs Bunny...taken SERIOUSLY... Uuuhhh...yeah, Johnny Cage 1, you all ZERO. And I take the next step with that briefcase. No one may remember my WCW World Title reigns...but you're all gonna remember THIS. Because the jokes stop HERE...and you all will realize you JUST GOT CAGED. And you all will learn to Hail the Rookie Revolution."
"...Johnny, you winning this match would be like pigs flying." Naruto spoke up.
"Yeah, yeah, REAL cute, Uzumaki, keep joking like that when I got the briefcase over you all." Cage replied.
"No, you won't, because I GOT this. Now everyone knows my career...I've had a hell of a career. Beat Brock Lesnar in my debut, won three different Rumbles, had Match of the Year candidates, my...rivalry...with Sasuke..." Naruto uttered that last part cautiously. "...and won EVERY World Title I can...except the UCA World Title. I had my chance...back in 2009 against Blue at Final Clash...and I FAILED. And that has eaten away at me ever since...failing when it mattered most. I failed to prove I could do it in UCA...and I barely got another chance to pull it off. But now I GOT that second chance! And I WON'T let it go to waste! UCA is the one World Title that's escaped, but this briefcase can change ALL of that for me! Can FINALLY put the ONE REGRET in my career to SLEEP! And in the process, I'll also do one more thing I've never done: WIN MONEY IN THE BANK! And Johnny can throw his Internet Title at me, or Scourge can try to bring down hell on me, Sly can try to steal this from me, BUT NARUTO UZUMAK IS THE NEXT MR. MONEY IN THE BANK! BELIEVE IT, DATTEBAYO!"
"Yeah, yeah, believe it, dattebayo, yadda, yadda, got any other catchphrases you want to throw at us, Uzumaki? You seem to have loads of them." Takuya snarked, causing Naruto to glare at him. "MEANWHILE, I'm the one with the most to prove out of anyone in this match! How many of you have defeated RED IN THE MAIN EVENT OF FINAL CLASH?! HUH?! ...I rest my case! I'm a former Rumble Winner! A former World Champion! I BEAT RED! And I am NOT gonna let it mean NOTHING! That MEANS SOMETHING! That was no fluke people! And I'm gonna show you all when I win that briefcase! It's my TICKET back to the big time! And it won't even matter if it's the fat plumber or the Destined who won't go away! Because either way, I'm the NEXT World Heavyweight Champion! You will ALL remember who's at the top of the food chain here!"
"...Wait, but didn't I also beat Red in the main event of Final Clash?" Gold said in a confused manner, scratching his head.
"Yeah, but that doesn't compare to when I did it!" Takuya snapped back.
"But I did it first, in a huge passing of the torch moment at the time. It was pretty memorable." Gold blinked twice.
"NO ONE CARES, GOLD!" Takuya shouted.
"WELL I DO, AND I THINK EVERYBODY DOES!" Gold shouted back. "See, you're so focused on proving you're a "somebody," but me? ...I just want to finally win a World Title again. It's been EIGHT YEARS since I LAST WON a World Title! I may have won other titles, I may have won the Triple Crown, hell, even the GRAND SLAM...but no World Title in eight years...that just sucks man. ROYALLY sucks... I mean, top tier LEVEL suck, man. To go THAT long without winning the big one after a big time in career makes me feel like I dropped the ball...and no one wants to drop the ball...but that's gonna change this Sunday. And I don't care if I have to drop you AGAIN with a Gold Cutter..." Takuya sneered at those words. "...or Bowser...or Cage...or Naruto...or the milkman! Or Gary! OR EVEN THE REF! OR EVEN SOMEBODY WHO ISN'T EVEN THE MATCH BUT GETS IN BECAUSE THEY HATE ME! I WILL WIN MONEY IN THE BANK! Eight years will be VALIDATED with that briefcase, and there isn't ANYTHING that's gonna stop me! ...Then me and Zoe can have the TIME of our lives afterwards..." Gold winked at the camera.
"...Really? ...Because I can stop you." Bowser growled dangerously as he held up his FUSION Tag Team Title. "...Because you haven't won a World Title in eight years? ...I have NEVER won a World Title. EVER. Despite my size...despite who I am...despite everything...I have NEVER won one in any company. My ONE World Title Shot in UCA was RUINED by the blue RODENT...and I am SICK of it, SICK of never making it to the top. I am a MONSTER...I am HELLBENT on getting what I want...and you all better pray to the FWM GODS right now for mercy...because I WON'T have ANY come Sunday on ALL OF YOU. I will DESTROY YOU ALL to FINALLY get my guarantee of becoming a World Champion! DESTRUCTION will be had...and there's not a DAMN thing any of you can DO about it."
"...I think I can do a thing about it." Sonic glared at Bowser, who glared back. "JUST like I did something about you in your World Title match. Just like I did something about you at Last Stand. I can do something about it..."
"...You're treading DANGEROUS ground, rodent..." Bowser snarled.
"I'll GLADLY RUN over that ground! Because YOU SCREWED ME AT ROYAL RECKONING! You KEPT ME from the World Heavyweight Championship and taking it from MARIO! And then you proceeded to Chokeslam my ass through a TABLE the night after Last Stand! And I will NOT LET THAT GO!" Sonic shouted in anger. "I am on a MISSION OF VENGEANCE here! On both YOU AND MARIO! And this match goes a LONG WAY towards that! It's gonna MAKE UP for LAST YEAR when I FAILED to win the World Title from Mario with the briefcase and got my LEG BROKEN due to him! And with you...Last Stand wasn't enough...so TONIGHT...I'm gonna BEAT YOU in the middle of this ring AGAIN...and then I'm gonna make sure YOU don't win Money in the Bank...then WIN the briefcase myself...and then CASH IT IN ON MARIO and take what's most precious to HIM! REGARDLESS of whatever shot a Destined has..." The crowd gave a HUGE mixed reaction at what he was implying. "I will have my vengeance on you two...and it will come in the form of that case...REGARDLESS of what you and anyone else will try to do."
"...I'm gonna enjoy breaking you tonight in our match." Bowser growled.
"I'm gonna enjoy watching you try and FAIL..." Sonic fired back.
The two glared at each other hatefully at each other...all while Toad sat in his stool with a contemplative grimace...he had heard everyone,and he had been silent a long time...and was about to speak...
"You ALL can make whatever proclamations you want, but it's all just HOT AIR!" Scourge said, interrupting Toad and UPSETTING him even MORE. "That briefcase is MINE! You hear me?! MINE! I've been through too much crap to just let THIS slip through my fingers, and no way any of YOU are taking this from me! Not the LESSER me...not the trainer with brain damage...NOT the overgrown turtle...NOT the JOKE...and CERTAINLY not the LACKEY-
"I AM NOT A LACKEY!" Toad snapped, FINALLY having enough as everyone in the ring was taken back by his outburst.
"...I am NOT a lackey! I AM NOT! NOT ANYMORE!" Toad shouted, truly fed up with it all. "Maybe I was a long time ago, but that shit is over with! I am TIRED of all the crap I put up with! I am TIRED of having MY victories used so SOMEONE ELSE can PROFIT! I am TIRED of helping someone and GETTING NOTHING OUT OF IT! I am TIRED of my people being USED! Because I am MORE THAN THAT DAMMIT!" The crowd actually began to cheer, because they knew what he was implying. "I am a FORMER UCA Cruiserweight Champion, I had a classic Ladder Match with Tidus earlier this year! I was No. 50 in the PWI 50, I was actually in the ranking! Hell, I'M A FORMER ECW WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION! I FOUGHT AND THRIVED IN THE LAND OF EXTREME!" The crowd POPPED for that mention of ECW from Toad. "I'm NOT a lackey...I'm a SOMEBODY! And I'm gonna show EVERYONE that this Sunday when I win that briefcase...and go on to cash it in AND BECOME THE UCA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! So you all better get ready...because in six days, I'm taking you ALL...to the EXTREME!"
The crowd POPPED at that, mostly for the ECW stuff, even chanting "E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!" as Toad glared at all of them...before slowly looking up towards the briefcase...and everyone else soon did the same...staring at the briefcase that could change it all for them...
...before they all turned their attention towards EACH OTHER, glaring at each other for a bit...
"...Okay, forget this shit." Scourge suddenly piped up, garnering attention. "We ALL know how this is gonna end up people, and I'm in a bad mood. So how about I break the norm here, and start us of-"
SCOURGE SUDDENLY SLAMS THE MIC INTO SLY'S SKULL, AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE FROM THERE!
"OH SHIT! SCOURGE JUST FIRED THE FIRST SHOT, AND IT'S OPEN SEASON PEOPLE! THE MONEY IN THE BANK PARTICIPANTS ARE WAGING WARFARE TO GET THE LAST LAUGH HEADING INTO FINAL CLASH!" Church shouted.
"I DON'T CARE WHO WINS, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT A DIRTY BLUE! I CAN LIVE WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN THAT!" Church shouted.
*Skip*
Sly and Naruto were trading fists with each other when Naruto suddenly hits a NINJA KICK to the SKULL! He then grabbed him by the waist and when for a NINE-TAILS DESTROYER! But Sly backflipped out of it and then leaped on the ropes AND NINJA SPIRE KICK! Naruto fell down as Sly gets up AND IS CHOKESLAMMED BY BOWSER! Bowser gives a great roar before he turns around and CHAIR TO THE FACE from Sonic! Bowser stumbles backwards into the ropes, and Sonic runs and CRASHES the chair into Bowser, sending them both over the ropes! Johnny Cage meanwhile ducked a fist from Scourge and NAILED A SPLIT-LEGGED NUT PUNCH ON HIM! Scourge fell down holding his nads in pain, and Cage slid out of the ring and grabbed a ladder, closing it up and slid it into the ring...
...He slid back i-SUICIDE DIVE FROM GOLD ON CAGE! Gold stood up and held up the Diamond Cutter gesture before sliding into the ring and grabbing the ladder! He set it up in the middle of the ring and began climbing it up towards the briefcase...when TAKUYA climbed up the ladder behind, and nailed a few shots to the skull from behind...and nailed an INVERTED DDT ON HIM OFF THE LADDER! Takuya begins climbing up the ladder himself and reaches towards the briefcase, but NARUTO is back up, pushes the ladder...and Takuya falls off and CRASHES into the ropes HARD! Naruto takes the opportunity to climb up the ladder himself...but Scourge grabs his leg...pulls him down and SPEARS HIM! Naruto rolls out of the ring, and Scourge climbs up himself now, scowling the whole time...is up on the top...reaches...
...and TOAD SPRINGBOARD DROPKICKS SCOURGE OFF THE LADDER! Scourge hits the mat hard and rolls out of the ring, and Toad stands and measures...before running and climbing to the top and CROSSBODIES SCOURGE ON THE OUTSIDE!
"THIS IS CARNAGE! Every man out here is trying to make a statement, and it's pure CHAOS! All to make the biggest statement possible! An-OH SHIT! IS THAT...?! DAMN, IT IS!" Church shouted.
"HE CAN'T BE HERE! HE CAN'T! HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD STILL! DEAD I SAY!" Sarge shouted.
Every Money in the Bank competitor slowly got up outside of the ring, and were trading fists with each other...
...
...NOT SEEING CRASH BANDICOOT CLIMB UP A HUGE LADDER NEXT TO THEM TO A HUGE POP! The Bandicoot had come in through the crowd when they weren't looking, and now stood on top of the ladder...he measured...they all looked up...
...
...
...
...CRASH LANDING OFF THE FIFTEEN-FOOT LADDER ONTO EVERYONE! THE CROWD EXPLODED, CHANTING "HOLY SHIT!"
"HOLY SHIT! CRASH! CRASH IS BACK IN UCA IN TIME FOR MONEY IN THE BANK! AND HE JUST MADE THE BIGGEST STATEMENT OUT OF EVERYONE!" Church shouted.
"YOU DAMN BANDICOOT! I HOPE YOU BROKE YOUR SPINE OFF THAT! MAY CHRIS HOUSE MURDER YOU AGAIN AT WRESTLEWARS III!" Sarge exclaimed.
The crowd continued to chant "Holy Shit" at the move, and everyone was DOWN...until CRASH stirred...and rolled himself off everybody...and slid into the ring...he then stood up, stumbling to the ladder...and began CLIMBING IT, rung by rung...before reaching the top, grabbing the case and the hook...
...and UNHOOKED THE BRIEFCASE to LOUD CHEERS! Crash held the briefcase longingly before holding it up shouting "WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA!" as the crowd did the same as "No More Words" by EndeverafteR played!
"...Will THIS be the scene at Final Clash? Will Crash Bandicoot climb the ladder and gain the briefcase that could lead him to his first-ever UCA World Title? Nine other men may have something to say about it!" Church shouted.
"Of course they do! They always do! If they didn't, we got the most boring match out of any match! NO BANDICOOT WILL WIN! Instead...it will be BOWSER! ...Or CAGE! ...Or TAKUYA! ...Or SCOURGE! ...Or TOAD! ...ONE OF YOU WIN DAMMIT!" Sarge shouted.
"Ten men walk into Final Clash for the ultimate power in UCA...only ONE walks out Mr. Money in the Bank!" Church shouted.
Ben Tennyson Backstage Promo
The cameras had went backstage...to find a room of nothing but darkness. Silence filled the room, there was nothing to it all, everything was quiet as a mouse...until...
"To be the hero...I can't be the hero."
The camera looked around at that voice, trying to find the source of it when it repeated...
"To be the hero...I can't be the hero."
The camera jerked around, unable to find the voice...until it turned to the left and found BEN TENNYSON standing in the room, Hardcore Title over his shoulder and his appearance...rough and scraggly looking with a stoic expression on his face before he repeated.
"To be the hero...I can't be the hero."
Ben looked down a bit before he began pacing. "People have been wondering what that meant ever since I said it last week. What does it mean? How can such a thing be true? Don't have to BE a hero to BE the hero? ...Well here's the thing. Last week...I came to a realization. A STUNNING realization. See...up to this point...I have fought against Senji for the purpose of saving UCA from him! He's a CONVICTED CRIMINAL! A DEADMAN! He's PSYCHO, he's CRAZY, a MONSTER! He was convicted for MURDER! UCA doesn't need him as a WORLD CHAMP, it needs him GONE! Which is why I took it upon myself to do just that, like the hero I am! And for awhile...it was working! I took his Hardcore Title, I screwed him out of World Title shots, I made sure he didn't get into Money in the Bank, I made sure he didn't get an OUNCE MORE! I was DOING MY JOB..."
"...Until he made our rematch...a SADISTIC MADNESS MATCH." Ben gritted out the words. "A match he's never lost...a match my cousin nearly..." He didn't finish the sentence so he continued. "Ever since then...it's been one bad thing after another. My car was WRECKED, DESTROYED...he snuck up on me and attacked me...he attacked me after Bowser beat on me..I was left bleeding TWICE in a ROW. I didn't get it! What was I doing WRONG?! I was the HERO! The Hero Always Wins! It didn't make sense! I did so much to him, but here he was, making me suffer time and time again! I told myself that I wasn't afraid of him, I COULDN'T be! All he did was make me angry! It DIDN'T MAKE SENSE! NOT A DAMN LICK OF SENSE WHY IT WAS HAPPENING!"
Ben shouted those last words...before settling into an eerie calm.
"...Until I saw my own blood on my hand last week...and as I stared into it...what he did to me, and how he was able to do it...what I have been doing up until now...the Hardcore Title being on the line...the match we were going to fight in...it all CLICKED into my head, like a LIGHTBULB went off. See...here's the thing...what the phrase "To be the hero, I can't be the hero" means..."
...is that in order to save UCA from Senji...
...
...I can't walk into Final Clash with the intention of saving UCA...and instead UNLEASH the PSYCHO within me."
Ben had a WILD look in his eye as he said this. "That's right... Seeing the blood he spilled from me made me realize how he has NO REMORSE for what he's trying to do. He doesn't care about being a criminal or hero, about good or bad with me...all he wants to do is MURDER ME... He will go to the absolute darkest DEPTHS with a sadistic grin on his face if it means making me suffer! I've been trying to act as if his game doesn't exist, and instead, he only laughs while I lose MORE AND MORE in the process! This is his playground...and I've been floundering in it playing "hero" when there ARE no heroes in a match like this... I WAS afraid of Senji...of what he would do to me...I admit that. And through admitting that, I realized...this would be my fate no matter what."
"So in the end...I can't be the hero...because being the hero will ONLY get me KILLED here. It will NOT work with Senji in THIS match...where Sadistic Madness is EXACTLY THAT. So for ONE NIGHT ONLY...I WON'T be the hero. I won't do anything for the greater good, to help save a company, to beat a criminal, or to make sure the happy ending is achieved... No, for that night...you will get PSYCHO Ben Tennyson! The Ben Tennyson that wants to see Senji BLEED TO DEATH because it AMUSES HIM!" Ben pulled at his hair with an unhinged look. "And I will enjoy EVERY second of his screams of pain as I torture him! I will become what I FIGHT! What I HATE! I will go into the darkest depths of my soul that I never thought existed...and unleash a side of myself that cares for only one thing...inflicting PAIN and AGONY on another human being and will SMILE at it! I will truly EMBRACE THE SADISTIC MADNESS, ALL TO BEAT SENJI AT HIS OWN GAME! THAT is how I win! By unleashing the PSYCHO within! This isn't about being a hero, this is about coming up with ways to hurt only a MADMAN could think of it because I WANT HIM TO SUFFER! I will do things I will forever regret! I will go to places I never thought I would go! In the end...in a way...I MUST become the VILLAIN."
"...And by doing so...by becoming the villain...by unleashing the PSYCHO...I will END Senji Kiyomasa once and for all. I will free UCA from HIS influence...and accomplish what I set out to do... Ironic. To be the hero...I CAN'T be the hero. To save UCA from Senji...I must become the PSYCHO...like him."
Ben then leaned towards the camera, a truly mad and dark look on his face, bangs of his hair shadowing his eyes...
"I apologize...to Grandpa...to Gwen...to Kevin...the Men of Action...my fellow RR mates...to everyone I care about... I apologize...but this must be done. At Final Clash, I will let myself be overcome with SADISTIC MADNESS...and Senji...I hope you're ready...because when the Madness finally subsides...you will be left with NOTHING...not even your LIFE...and as you see me standing over your carcass, holding up the UCA Hardcore Championship with your streak broken, realize once and for all...that even though you forced me to be this...to go THIS far...
...
...
...
..The Hero...Always...Wins."
Ben held up his Hardcore Championship with a dark, demented look on his face...before pushing the camera over and walking off as the camera turned off as a result.
Singles Match - Hope the Hedgehog vs Shadow the Hedgehog
Hope nailed a few forearms to the face of Shadow in the corner before running to the opposite corner and then coming back for a Jumping Corner Clothesline! Shadow fell out of the corner, and Hope measured him before leaping onto the top...
...
...and Shadow got the KNEES UP TO BLOCK THE MOONSAULT! Hope held his gut in pain as he stumbled up to his feet AND RIGHT INTO A FACEBREAKER KNEE SMASH! Hope fell to a knee, stunned...
...
...
...AND GOT A CHAOS BLAST TO THE FACE!
*Skip*
Shadow was stomping out each limb of Hope methodically, no emotion escaping from his face as he did so before jumping up and nailing a Knee Drop across the chest. He then picked up Hope and Irish Whipped him into the ropes...
...
...and catch Hope off the bounce back with a Double A Spinebuster DENIED! Hope slipped out and landed behind Shadow! The Ultimate Life Form turned around and got a Spin Kick to the gut, and Hope bounced off the ropes once more...
...
...Shadow Back Body Dropped Hope! Shadow turned around...
...
...
...INTO A PELE KICK AS HOPE HAD LANDED ON HIS FEET OFF THE BACK DROP!
*Skip*
Hope and Shadow were barraging each other with relentless forearms in the face to each other before Hope suddenly broke away from Shadow and DROPKICKED him into the corner! Hope rolled onto his feet and ran for a Stinger Splash-MISSED! Hope hit nothing but corner as Shadow moved away, ran to the opposite corner and back...YAKUZA KICK CONNECTS!
"YAKUZA KICK STRAIGHT TO THE MUSH! Shadow and Hope beating the hell out of each other after constant misfires on each other and retaliations! D-Hedgeration X may be done for, but these guys have a competitive streak with each other! And Shadow's in control!" Church called.
"...Dammit, I can't root for either of them! Even Shadow though he's a badass, HE'S STILL A DAMN BLUE! DAMMIT, GIVE ME SOMEONE TO CHEER FOR! I NEED SOMEONE TO CHEER FOR!" Sarge exclaimed.
Hope was dazed as Shadow grabbed him and lifted him up to the top of the corner. Shadow then proceeded to climb up there with him...when Hope began headbutting Shadow suddenly! Shadow was surprised by this move by Hope, but recovered and began headbutting him back! The two were headbutting each other repeatedly neither relenting...
...until Hope suddenly struck out with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK to the skull! Shadow went limp and fell off the top to the mat below. Hope shook his head to get the cobwebs out of his head before he stood tall on top of the corner...
...
...
...AND NAILED THE DIVE FROM HEAVEN ON SHADOW!
"AND DIVE FROM HEAVEN ON SHADOW! The elbow connects to the heart of the Ultimate Life Form! And we all know what comes after this! One head may be flying soon enough!" Church said.
"...You just HAD to make this match, didn't you Force? Had to make me SUFFER..." Sarge groaned.
Hope stood up to his feet and walked around in a fiery frenzy, the crowd cheering at this! Hope then stood in the corner...pointed to Shadow...and began STOMPING rhythmically...the crowd knew what was coming. Shadow slowly stirred...the stomping got faster...Shadow slowly got to his feet...
...
...
...Hope shuffled and SIDE STEPPED...
...
...
...
...RIGHT INTO A GORE FROM JASON KRUEGER OUT OF NOWHERE! THE REF CALLED FOR A DQ AS JASON LAID OUT HOPE AND BEGAN WAILING ON HIM!
"WHAT THE F*CK?! JASON?! He just GORED the hell out of Hope out of freakin' nowhere! Oh damn, this has to be because of the damn title match! His paranoid ass couldn't take it and he had to try and destroy one of his challengers!" Church shouted.
"YEAH! YEAH! FINALLY! SOMEONE TO CHEER! GO JASON! BREAK HIS NECK! DO IT BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE BEFORE YOU!" Sarge exclaimed.
*Skip*
Jason was THROWING Hope all over the place, slamming him into turnbuckles, the barricade, the steel post, the padded concrete, everywhere he could, all while shouting "YOU WON'T TAKE MY TITLE FROM ME! YOU WON'T, YOU DAMN HEDGEHOG!" Jason then slammed his head into the apron before he pulled off the top of some nearby steel steps! Then grabbed Hope...
...
...and lifted him into a Fireman's Carry...
*OH NO, YOU PARANOID BASTARD! I know what he's gonna do, he's gonna try and break Hope's neck on those steel steps! DAMMIT DON'T YOU DARE! He didn't do ANYTHING to you to deserve th-Oh who the hell am I kidding, he'll probably do it ANYWAY!" Church shouted.
"YEAH! Which is why this will be a GREAT SHOW!" Sarge exclaimed.
"SHUT UP SARGE!" Church shouted back.
Jason growled before making a run towards the steel steps...
...
...and SHADOW BASEBALL SLID HIS FEET INTO JASON'S FACE FROM THE RING! Jason dropped Hope and was sent into the barricade! Shadow slid out of the ring and began nailing VICIOUS rights to the skull of Jason!
"SHADOW! Shadow with the save, and now he's going to town on Jason! I think he's had enough of Jason's crap, and he wants to finally kick some ass!" Church shouted.
"HEY! GET OFF OF HIM! That's our Intercontinental Champion! We can't have him hurt!" Sarge exclaimed.
Shadow backed up and RAMMED his knee into Jason, sandwiching his head into the barricade! He then picked up Jason and DROPPED him with a DDT! Shadow glared down at Jason and said "I'm TIRED of you quite frankly...and this Sunday, I end you and your reign. For now...you will face punishment." Shadow then went over to the top steel steps...lifted them up...and measured Jason as he stood up...

...
...and threw them AND THEY HIT HOPE INSTEAD! JASON DODGED AND HOPE TOOK THE HIT INSTEAD! Shadow looked stunned and cursed under his breath before turning to Jason...
...
...
...AND GOT LIFTED AND DROPPED WITH AN ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!
"ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION! On the OUTSIDE! The miscommunication between Hope and Shadow CONTINUES as Hope just took steel to the face! And Shadow gets dropped on his head and neck as a result! That's GOT to hurt!" Church exclaimed.
"HE'S THE MESSIAH OF THE NECKBREAKER! This is the result that is to be expected EVERY TIME! HAIL THE MESSIAH!" Sarge exclaimed.
Shadow was laid out as Jason held his head and stumbled up to his feet...
...
...into a KICK TO THE GUT FROM CHAOS FOLLOWED BY A SUPLEX SLAM ONTO THE APRON!
"OH SHIT! Now CHAOS! Chaos is HERE! The self-proclaimed God just DROPPED Jason in the worst way! He picked NOW to make his mark, and Jason's SUFFERING for it!" Church stated.
"...HAIL THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION! HAIL HIM! This is the result to be expected EVERY TIME from him!" Sarge stated.
"YOU DUMBASS, YOU SAID THAT LIKE A MINUTE AGO FOR JASON!" Church exclaimed.
Jason held his back in pain as Chaos smirked crazily down at him and shouted "LIKE IT JASON?! LIKE THE DESTRUCTION YOU FEEL?! MORE WILL ARISE WHEN I RIP THAT TITLE FROM YOUR LIFELESS HANDS!" Chaos then picked him up and threw him into the ring. Chaos slid into the ring and KICKED Jason HARD in the head! Jason was dazed and he got yanked up as Chaos sneered into his face "Feel the taste of destruction that is soon to come..." He then lifted Jason onto his shoulders...
...
...SPUN him off...
...
...
...and Jason LANDED on his feet! He backed up into the ropes and bounced off them as Chaos turned around AND GORED HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
"GORE! GORE! GOOOOOREEEE! JASON JUST GORED CHAOS DOWN HARD! ALL THREE HEDGEHOGS ARE DOWN! DESPITE GETTING HIS ASS WHIPPED, JASON MANAGED TO GET THEM ALL! STATEMENT MADE! REVENGE HAD!" Church shouted.
"DAMMIT, WHY MUST YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE?! WHY COULDN'T HE GORE HOPE AGAIN?!" Sarge cried out.
Jason held his aching body as he laid next to Chaos for a few moments before he rolled out of the ring. He was all on fours, and grabbed his IC Title that he brought with him and crawled up the ramp, holding it to his chest as he shouted "MINE! ALWAYS MINE! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE IT! NEVER!" before stumbling up to his feet. Chaos rolled to his side, holding his gut...and actually LAUGHED, shouting "THAT'S IT, KRUEGER...FIGHT! FIGHT AS HARD AS YOU CAN AGAINST THE DESTRUCTION! IT'S THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO BEFORE YOU LOSE IT ALL!" Hope pulled himself up against the apron, holding his head, glaring at Jason...before turning to Shadow for a moment...while Shadow just sat against the apron, scowling to himself and vowing to end Jason's crap at Final Clash. Jason stood on top of the ramp, holding his title close to his chest as he stared at the ring and hedgehogs, muttering to himself.
"Jason gets the last laugh here tonight, but will that be the case six days from now? It'll be every man for himself in six days, and only ONE walks out with the Intercontinental Championship. It's gonna be INSANE." Church stated.
"As long as either Chaos or Jason walk out the winner, I am happy! NO DIRTY BLUES WILL HAVE THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP! GO UNHOLY DESTROYERS...EVEN IF YOU'LL KILL EACH OTHER AT FIRST!" Sarge shouted.
Triple Threat Match - Knuckles the Echidna vs Edward Elric vs Tom Cat
Tom was kneeing Knuckles repeatedly in the skull before nailing a Stunner on the echidna! Knuckles stood up in a daze and Tom nailed a Jumping Forearm Smash to the face! Knuckles rebounded off the ropes...and Tom lifted him into an Argentine Rack and ran for the early finish...
...
...Knuckles slid out of the Feline Frenzy and landed behind him! Tom cursed and turned around but GOT A BOOT TO THE FACE! Tom stumbled around...
...
...AND INTO AN EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE FROM ED! Ed stood up AND CAUGHT KNUCKLES WITH AN EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE AS WELL!
*Skip*
Ed had Tom on top of the corner, and was nailing several rights to the face to keep Tom stunned! He then grabbed onto Tom for a Superplex...but Tom remained rooted to the corner. Ed tried again...but no luck...and Tom suddenly broke free and nailed BIG headbutt on Ed...
...
...and that allowed Knuckles to come from behind and get Ed in an Electric Chair on his shoulders! Ed's eyes widened as Knuckles backed up with him...
...
...AND TOM WITH THE DIVING KNEE SMASH TO KNUCKLES! THAT CAUSED KNUCKLES TO ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP ED! Two birds with one stone! He then bounced off the ropes and nailed a SENTON on Knuckles!
*Skip*
Tom was stomping out both Knuckles and Ed as much as he can, taking turns with each of them! After having his fill, he picked up Ed and whipped him into a corner, then Irish Whipped Knuckles into the corner to have the two stacked there. Tom then got to the opposite corner, grinned and ran...
...
...AND THE TWO MOVED AWAY AND AVOIDED THE STINGER SPLASH! Tom crashed into the corner and stumbled out of it RIGHT INTO AN AUTOMAIL CLOTHESLINE FROM ED! Tom was laid out...and Ed went for one on Knuckles...
...
...but Knuckles dodged it AND NAILED A GERMAN SUPLEX! Then got back up again with Ed...and ANOTHER GERMAN! Got back up again with Ed AND A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX! Ed rolled onto his feet in a daze and GOT SPINEBUSTERED! Ed was laid out and Knuckles gave out a loud roar! He then picked up Tom and placed him between his legs...wrapped his arms around his waist...
...
...
...JERRY SLID IN AND NAILED A STEEL CHAIR OFF KNUCKLE'S SKULL! Knuckles let go of Tom and fell down!
"WHAT THE SHIT?! JERRY?! DAMN, HE JUST CRACKED THE CHAIR RIGHT OFF THE ECHIDNA'S CRANIUM! AND IT'S NO DQ, SO IT'S LEGAL!" Church shouted.
"THANK YOU, JERRY! Your service shall forever be remembered as among the greatest of all Redkind!" Sarge saluted.
*Skip*
Jerry was bringing the chair down on Knuckles repeatedly, slamming it over and over again on him! He saw Ed trying to get up and slammed the chair over HIM to keep him down before going back to Knuckles! Tom got up...and GRINNED at what Jerry was doing before the mouse shouted at Tom "TOM...GET THE TABLES!" Tom nodded as he went outside the ring, making sure to STOMP on Ed's face before he did! He then looked under the ring and pulled out a table to boos!
"These two don't care about Tom winning this match right now! Oh hell no, this is about sending a message to these teams before Final Clash! They want to establish dominance before TLC! They want to give a TASTE of Non-Stop Violence!" Church shouted.
"And it's a taste WELL-DESERVED! Never mess with Team 2D, dirtbags! Otherwise, you will never move again for you will be lying in unimaginable agony." Sarge stated.
Tom slid the table into the ring and slid into the ring himself before standing-AND GOT A SPRINGBOARD DDT OUT OF NOWHERE FROM ALPHONSE! ALPHONSE PLANTING TOM!
"AL! ALPHONSE ELRIC! He just came OUT OF NOWHERE and planted Tom! Oh hell, this should have been expected! No way were they just going to let Team 2D have their way!" Church stated.
"DESTROY HIM! DESTROY THE ELRIC! HE DESERVES NOTHING BUT DAMNATION! THEY ALL DO!" Sarge shouted.
Jerry saw Tom get planted, and his eyes widen before he went to swing at Al's head as he got up-DUCKED! Al ducked the shot and then nailed a Savate Kick to the jaw of Jerry, causing him to drop the chair! He then grabbed the head of Jerry, ran towards the corner...climbed it...
...
...ARMOR CHANGER-DENIED! Jerry held onto the ropes so he could stay standing, and Al landed behind him AND JERRY NAILED HIM WITH AN ELBOW! Al staggered back as Jerry went over to him BUT GOT A FIST TO THE FACE! Jerry held his face but struck back and the two began trading blows in the middle of the ring...
...
...
...AND A BANDAGED UP AND BRUISED TAILS SUDDENLY NAILED THEM BOTH WITH A LADDER!
"WHAT IN TARNATION?! TAILS?! GET THAT STUPID FOX OUT OF THERE! HE IS NOT WELCOMED HERE! NEVER! HE'S NOT EVEN HEALTHY!" Sarge shouted.
"TAILS! Tails inserting HIMSELF into this for his partner, injuries from UWE be DAMNED! And he brought a steel ladder for everybody to enjoy!" Church exclaimed.
Al and Jerry fell down and rolled out of the ring from the ladder attack, and Tails threw it down before he climbed a corner, ignoring his body screaming at his to stop, and measured the two outside the ring. Once he saw the two stand up...he stood tall...
...
...
...AND CONNECTS WITH A SPIRAL TAP TO THE OUTSIDE THAT TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN!
"SPIRAL TAP! SPIRAL TAP! Tails just wowed EVERYBODY and took down Al and Jerry! NOW it's an even match once again!" Church shouted.
*Skip*
Tom slowly got to his knees, and saw Jerry taken out with Alphonse by Tails...and he growled. He did NOT like that at all...and he was not going to take that lying down! He then grabbed the table and began setting it up in the ring! Once he was done setting it up, he went over to Ed and picked him up...
...
...
...WHO NAILED HIM WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! Tom's eyes rolled in the back of his skull AND HE GOT PLANTED WITH THE EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE!
"OOOOOHHHH! Edward got one over on Tom! He got the steel chair when he wasn't looking, and Tom pays the price! Tom is OUT LIKE A LIGHT!" Church said.
"NO NO NO NO NO NO! JERRY DO SOMETHING! BE THE GREAT MOUSE YOU ARE AND SAVE YOUR PARTNER!" Sarge exclaimed.
Tom was laid out, and Ed wasted no time in picking him up and throwing him onto the table. He then grabbed the chair and placed it over Tom...then went over to the ladder, picked it up...and SET IT UP NEAR THE CORNER TO A LOUD POP! Ed then began climbing the ladder...
"...Oh no...WHY must this happen to the great people? WHY? DAMN YOU YOU ELRICS!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Edward is climbing that ladder, and he's about to put Tom through it al-OH SHIT!" Church suddenly said...
...
...
...as KNUCKLES climbed the ladder from behind Edward! Edward didn't notice him...and he noticed too late as Knuckles SUDDENLY grabbed onto Edward as they were high on the ladder, and LIFTED him onto his shoulder as Ed's eyes widened...
...
...
...
...
...AND NAILED THE DEEP IMPACT OFF THE LADDER ONTO TOM AND THE CHAIR, PUTTING THEM BOTH THROUGH THE TABLE!
"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH! DEEP IMPACT! DEEP IMPACT OFF THE LADDER, AND THE TABLE BREAKS ALONG WITH TOM AND ED! TABLES, LADDERS, AND CHAIRS COMES EARLY! KNUCKLES WITH THE COVER ON TOM! NO DQS IN TRIPLE THREAT!" Church called.
"DAMMIT...I hate to say it...but Tom..." Sarge stated.

("Whatever" by Lady Peace)
"Here is your winner...KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNAAA!"
*Skip*
Knuckles is slowly getting to all fours as the ref hands his World Tag Team Title to him, Tom and Ed still laid out among the table debris. Tails slides into the ring leaving the laid out Al and Jerry outside, his own Tag Title in hand and helps up Knuckles gingerly. The echidna nods, saying "Thanks for the help..." and Tails nods before pointing to the ladder...and Knuckles nods. The two then grab the and position it at the center of the ring...and the two climb up each side of the ladder to the top...and they stand tall on it as they both hold up their Tag Titles over the fallen tag teams, Tails shouting "WE'RE THE UNDERDOGS...AND WE'RE GONNA OWN TLC!" Knuckles simply nods and said "Final Clash...OUR moment..."
"Tails & Knuckles...they've made an EMPHATIC statement tonight. The Champs are showing that they won't be bowled, and they made the most out of Tables, Ladders, and Chairs. And in six days...this will be on a FRACTION of the carnage we will see." Church exclaimed.
"Oh it damn sure will be, dirbag! This is TLC...and this is where tag team warfare THRIVES... Tables will be broken...ladders will be crashed into...chairs will be dented...and in the end...only one team will be World Tag Team Champions...and it will be Team 2D." Sarge said.
"Sonic Heroes...Team 2D...The Elrics...Three-Way Tag Team TLC Match for the World Tag Team Championships! Get ready for violence on another level!" Church stated.
Singles Match - Crunch Bandicoot vs Gordon Freeman
Crunch Bandicoot had Gordon reeling in the corner, nailing Clothesline after Clothesline on the One Free Man with intensity rarely seen from him in recent times. He then backed up and ran and nailed a Corner European Uppercut on him! Gordon stumbled out of the corner AND RIGHT INTO A SIDEWALK SLAM! Crunch covers while G-Man watches stoically from ringside.

Gordon kicks out!
"Crunch has been ON FIRE recently! Man, ever since his team, the Rebirth, won on FUSION, he's had a fire lit under him! He wants to beat the rising star, Gordon! He wants to get his name back out there!" Church stated.
"I'LL SUPPORT HIM OVER GORDON ANY DAY! GO CRUNCH! CRUNCH HIS ASS!" Sarge exclaimed.
Crunch growled and picked up Gordon, setting him up for the Cortex Curse...but Gordon elbowed his way out of it! Crunch let go and growled and turned to Gordon, but Gordon nailed a VICIOUS ELBOW SMASH! Crunch turned around from it AND THEN GOT A SLEEPER SUPLEX FOR HIS TROUBLES! Crunch stumbled up to his feet AND GOT LIFTED AND PLANTED WITH A GRAVITY BLAST! G-Man nods in approval at this.
"And GORDON'S starting to kick some ass! Gordon Freeman is getting going, and he's not slowing down for ANYBODY! And you know what he wants next!" Church stated.
"ABORT! ABORT! CRUNCH, ABORT NOW!" Sarge exclaimed.
Gordon stalked Crunch as he slowly got to his feet...then pulled him in and hooked the arms and legs...Crunch twisted out and nailed a BIG Uppercut to the jaw of Freeman! Gordon bounced off the ropes into the arms of Crunch WHO LIFTED FOR THE CRUNCH TIME...
...
...
...GORDON LANDED ON HIS FEET! Crunch turned around INTO A HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL! Crunch was dazed and SUDDENLY PLANTED WITH AN IMPALER DDT! Crunch was dazed and lifted onto his feet, then had his arms and legs hooked, lifted...
...
...
...AND DROPPED WITH A RESONANCE CASCADE!
"RESONANCE CASCADE! The GAME Crunch PLANTED on his skull by Gordon Freeman! And that's it people!" Church stated.
"Crunch..." Sarge began.
Gordon hooks the leg!

"Here is your winner...GORDON FREEMAN!"

Gordon stood up to his feet and watched stoically as Crunch rolled out of the ring. He simply gave a nod towards Crunch and walked o-HE GETS TRIPPED UP ON HIS FACE AND PULLED BY THE LEGS OUTSIDE THE RING...

...BY DUNCAN AND BRAD BUTTOWSKI?!
"WHAT THE F*CK?! DUNCAN?! BRAD BUTTOWSKI?! BUT..BUT THOSE GUYS ARE WWE AND WCW STARS! THEY DON'T WORK HERE IN UCA!" Church exclaimed.
"WHAT IN FUDGEBUCKETS IN A HANDBASKET...?!" Sarge questioned.
Duncan and Brad began punching down on Gordon with viciousness, but Gordon pushed them away and Big Booted down Brad, while grabbing Duncan and nailing a Standing Side Slam! He stomped on Brad-BUT THEN SILVER WOLF ATTACKED HIM FROM BEHIND! Gordon turned around struck Silver Wolf down, but then DASH jumped over the barricade and went on Gordon! And soon enough, FRANCIS, BUFORD, LARS, TERRENCE-THE BULLIES! THE BULLIES WERE HERE IN UCA AND THEY WERE ATTACKING GORDON FREEMAN!
"THE BULLIES?! IT'S THE DAMN BULLIES! FROM WWE AND WCW, AND THEY'RE ATTACKING FREEMAN! THEY'RE INVADING UCA! GET THEM OUT OF HERE! THEY DON'T WORK HERE!" Church shouted.
"THE BULLIES HAVE COME, THEY COULDN'T TAKE THE INJUSTICE HE WAS PUTTING THEIR LEADER THROUGH, AND HAVE TAKEN MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS! JUSTICE IS BEING SERVED, BULLY-STYLE!" Sarge stated.
Gordon was throwing rights and kicks at anything that damn sure moved, and he was fighting his hardest as he knocked as many Bullies as he could down, but the NUMBERS GAME caught up to him as he got knocked down from behind by Francis and the Bullies began to beat down on Gordon and they were beating down on him HARD! After a few seconds of this, the Bullies picked him up and THREW him into the announce table, then threw him in the apron, then into the steel post-THE BULLIES WERE THROWING GORDON INTO EVERYTHING THEY COULD FIND! And they finished it off by throwing Gordon into the steel steps! Gordon was writhing in agony, but he still moved as he pulled himself up the apron and reached into the ring. Silver Wolf just grinned "LOOK AT THAT, HE WANTS MORE, GUYS! LET'S GIVE HIM MORE...!" Silver Wolf went to Gordon...
...
...AND GOT A CROWBAR TO THE SKULL! Silver Wolf was down as the Bullies ran at Gordon, but Gordon nailed Brad with the crowbar, then Lars! DASH suffered one to the skull! Terrence went for Gordon but GOT A POP-UP POWERBOMB ON THE APRON! Gordon went CRAZY, striking every Bully he could with the crowbar, trying t keep them from converging on him!
"GORDON'S GOT THE EQUALIZER! HIS TRUSTY CROWBAR, AND HE'S GOING TO TOWN! GORDON'S TRYING TO FIGHT THE WORLD HERE!" Church stated.
"COME ON BULLIES! YOU GOT THE NUMBERS! NUMBERS MEAN EVERYTHING! JUST LIKE BEING RED DOES!" Sarge shouted.
FRANCIS brought Gordon down with a forearm to the back of the head, grabbed him BUT GOT A CROWBAR TO THE GUT! Francis fell down and Gordon stumbled upward, getting tired from fighting all the numbers BUT DUNCAN GRABBED HIM FOR A JUVIE DRIVER-GORDON SPUN OUT OF IT AND CROWBAR TO THE SKULL! Gordon placed Duncan between his legs and hooks the arms and leg...
...
...
...
...RESONANCE CASCADE-WOLFGANG WOLF'S KICKS GORDON!
"OOHHH! WOLF'S KICK! WOLFGANG! THE DAMN LEADER OF THESE BULLIES...! HE KICKED GORDON'S HEAD OFF!" Church shouted...
...
...
...as Gordon spun around into hands from BIG BROTHER around the NECK...
...
...
...
...
...AND GOT CHOKEBOMBED THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
"AND GORDON JUST WENT THROUGH OUR DAMN ANNOUNCE TABLE! WOLFGANG SET THIS WHOLE THING UP! HE BROUGHT THE DAMN BULLIES HERE TO GET SOME REVENGE, CONTRACTS BE DAMNED!" Church exclaimed.
*Skip*
The Bullies had recovered from the crowbar attack from Gordon and were now stomping and beating down on the One Free Man repeatedly, all while Wolfgang pulled at his hair with a frustrated look on his face before grabbing a mic and shouted at the Bullies to back off, and they did just that. And as Gordon lies among the table wreckage, Wolfgang walked over and stood over him with a wild look in his eyes...
"Thought it was funny, huh?" Wolfgang said. "REAL funny what you've been doing to me since Last Stand?! HUH?! THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY TO MESS WITH MY FREAKIN' HEAD AND PUT ME THROUGH HELL?! YOU BASTARD! BET YOU AIN'T LAUGHING NOW! WHERE'S G-MAN?! WHERE'S THAT SUIT-WEARING-" Wolfgang then saw G-Man in the crowd...having teleported there during the fight...somehow...and Wolfgang snarled. "THERE you are... You beady-eyed, shriveled nobody... You had your fill of fun, I bet...REAL cute... Thought four-eyes was SO great, huh? ...WELL LOOK AT HIM NOW! He ain't so GREAT NOW, HUH?! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?! HUH?!" Wolfgang then turned his attention back to Gordon and kneeled over him, grabbing Gordon by the chin with a growl.
"...I've had ENOUGH OF YOU... I'm tired of your MIND GAMES...of your MONSTERS...of the HYPE AROUND YOU...of talks about HALF-LIFE 3...of the G-MAN...AND I"M TIRED OF YOU! I AM TIRED OF YOU AND YOUR CRAP! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! CONGRATULATIONS! YOU PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE! YOU ACTUALLY DID WHAT FEW HAVE DONE! NOW YOU FACE THE CONSEQUENCES, BECAUSE I'M ENDING YOU!" Wolfgang pulled at his hair angrily as he held down Gordon. "...I could end you NOW...give the signal to my Bullies here...but no...I won't. No...I'm gonna do it MYSELF at Final Clash this Sunday. In front of the entire world...I'm gonna BREAK you, rookie. I'm gonna HUMILIATE you like you've humiliated me, and I WILL END YOUR CAREER BEFORE IT EVEN BEGINS! And then you'll be just like your LOSER girlfriend, who's too far for her own good-"
Gordon HEADBUTTS Wolfgang for that comment...SO WOLFGANG NAILS HIM WITH A RIGHT! Wolfgang holds his head with a snarl before speaking again...
"...At Final Clash...I end you for good. The career of Gordon Freeman reaches an early grave...but until then...you can have THIS to remember me by..."
He pulled Gordon up to his feet...hooked his arms...AND DROPPED HIM WITH A PORTAL WOUND, THE DOUBLE ARM DDT OF CHELL'S! The crowd BOOED as Gordon was laid out and Wolfgang stood over him...
"...See you Sunday...four-eyed NERD. Remember...NEVER mess with the Bully..."
Wolfgang dropped the mic as he stood with the rest of the Bullies and shouted at the downed Gordon "BULLIES RULE! AND YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER VICTIM WAITING TO HAPPEN!" Wolfgang then hopped over the barricade, and motioned for the other Bullies to follow, which they did, some of them even mocking and spitting at Gordon as they did so, and they left through the crowd to a chorus of boos.
"...Well Wolfgang's snapped. He has SNAPPED, and he made it clear...he wants to end Gordon for good. Wolfgang's absolutely wild at this point...and Gordon..." Church said...
...as Gordon rolled onto his side...and there was a DARK look in his eye...the look that wanted nothing but Wolfgang's UTTER destruction at this point...and G-Man watched Gordon from the crowd, and adjusted his tie in intrigue.
"...Gordon is hellbent on WOLFGANG'S destruction at this point... Final Clash is where the One Free Man and the Alpha Male do battle, and only one comes out on top...and I can only imagine Duke and Force are NOT gonna be happy with the Bullies invading UCA like that..." Church said.
"WHATEVER! I just want to see Gordon DESTROY! YOU BETTER DO YOUR JOB RIGHT WOLFGANG! Do it RIGHT this Sunday!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Wolfgang...Gordon Freeman...six days from now, only one will stand tall as the dominant man!" Church said.
World Heavyweight Championship Match Sit-Down Interview
"Hello everybody, I'm sure you all know by now as Force the Fox." Force said as he sat down in a private locker room in the backstage the camera was showing. "I'm usually owner and GM of UCA and Monday Night Flame, but tonight...I'm gonna act as interviewer because of the circumstances, and ask the important questions to the two men competing in one of Final Clash's biggest matches this year. They are my guests at this time..."
The camera zoomed out...and show SUPER MARIO and MATT ISHIDA sitting in chairs on opposite ends of the room, the former with his World Title over his shoulder as Force sat between them. Matt and Mario stared at each other stoically, never taking their eyes off of each other as Force readied himself.
"The UCA World Heavyweight Champion, Super Mario...and the UCA Royal Rumble Winner, Matt Ishida." Force introduced. "Now men...I want you to know I intend to be an impartial and unbiased interviewer for this big sit-down interview, but also keep in mind that I want zero physical contact tonight. I understand the animosity between you two, but it is not productive for the moment. You will save it for Final Clash, and if one blow is thrown, there will be severe consequences. Understood?"
"...Crystal." Mario simply said, while Matt simply nodded.
"Good. Now we all know why we're here. To talk about the UCA World Heavyweight Championship. Mario defending against Matt at the AT&T Stadium at Final Clash! One of three main events for the show. Now Mario, we'll start you. You've been World Champion for a long time, over a year. Longest reign in history. Tell us, what does it mean to you professionally to be Champion? To hold that belt?" Force questioned.
"It means I am the Greatest Champion Ever." Mario simply said. "It means that I am the top of the food chain here in UCA. Everyone in UCA wants to be the World Heavyweight Champion, but it will never happen because it belongs to me. As you said, Force, I am the longest-reigning UCA World Champion in history. I've held this longer than anybody, that says a lot. Its one of my greatest achievements. I'm the longest reigning World Champion today. It solidifies my place as the Greatest Champion Ever, and the best that UCA and the FWM has to offer. No. 1. It means everything to me."
"Yeah, especially after you couldn't win another World Title during P&G week. That means that World Title is all you got left and you're clinging to it so much." Matt snarked.
Mario glared at Matt. "...Watch your tongue, boy."
"Simmer down, simmer down..." Force calmed down. "Let's continue... Matt, you had a...tough journey. I should know, I brought you to UCA. You've been through the Destined Decade Slump, Davis' betrayal, Sora leaving you for Tai, your depression...and you came to UCA in spite of that to win the Rumble. Now that you've reached your title match, how you do you feel about it all in hindsight?"
"...It feels surreal. You know damn well how bad it was for me. I went through so much, there was a point I didn't think I WOULD come back. That's how beaten down and broken I was. And seeing that now is...insane, to know I was that far gone." Matt shook his head. "...It puts a lot into perspective. But at the same time...they made me the man I am today. You helped me snap out of it, Force...and I learned a lot of lessons from all those experiences, and they helped me to get to this point. And despite feeling stunned at how I was before...I accept it...and at Final Clash, I'm ready to end that journey and put it to rest. This is my Resurrection, Force...and it's coming to an end in six days."
"Yeah, too bad that the Resurrection is gonna be killed instead in six days." Mario stated.
"You've tried killing the Resurrection so far, and how's that worked for you?" Matt fired back.
"Oh Matty Baby, that was just practice. The REAL MURDER comes when you try the hardest yet FAIL." Mario scowled.
"You know, I TOTALLY expected this amount of shots fired, but I'll take it over fisticuffs." Force deadpanned. "Now back to Mario. You were...well, PINNED by Matt over here in a Tag Match a couple of weeks ago. The World Champ PINNED by his challenger. Did that do anything to your mindset or change your approach to this match, knowing he could do that?"
"No, it doesn't, because it was a fluke." Mario stated firmly. "He got lucky was all. Every dog has its day, and it was his. So he better celebrate because it's not happening again. Besides, it was a tag team match as you said. Not one-on-one...but a tag match. And one-on-one is so different from tag teams...he can get pins on me in those matches all he wants, but when it's just the two of us...I'll always come out on top. I'm a big match player, Force, remember that. I always come through when it matters most...he can't. He's no big match player...he's just a fool who's lasted longer than he should, but that ends Sunday. His victory over me...doesn't matter in the end."
"Yeah, that totally explains your complete rage and meltdown over getting beat by me and trying to bury me as a result? Good to know that's when it 'doesn't matter.'" Matt remarked.
Mario was ANNOYED at this point. "The more you talk, the more you worsen your fate at Final Clash. May I remind you of all the times you've laid at my feet broken?"
"Yeah, and it's what seals your fate when I'm done with you at Final Clash. I got a lot of things in mind for you." Matt stated with a glare.
Mario returned the glare."Well just bring it then, I'll make sure to show how insignificant and worthless they are when they all fa-"
"Guys, guys, can we please put our focus back on the interview where it belongs? Jesus, you guys focus more on snarking at each other than actual answers." Force shook his head. "Matt...you're at a disadvantage. All challengers are...you have to beat Mario. Pinfall or submission in order to become World Champion. But he doesn't have to beat you, DQ or countout allow him to retain. How does that affect you?"
"The possibility doesn't surprise me, I've always know...because that's the kind of guy Mario is." Matt replied strongly. "He's weaseled his way out of nearly title match, had his little stable bail him out, cheated his way to the top, and I know I speak for everyone when we're sick of it. Mario trying to DQ or count himself out is no surprise because that's just who he is, especially since he knows he can't beat me-"
"Hold on a second, 'I know I can't beat you'? What kind of nonsense are you spewing out?" Mario growled.
"Well, I think it's obvious since you've had your stable help your ass out on most occasions, and have used them to deal with me as much as you can. That's how you've survived so long. You're a coward, Mario, a cheat, and you can't beat me by yourself, plain and simple. You know it deep in your heart, and it's gonna be affirmed on Sunday." Matt replied strongly.
"Oh, so I can't beat you by myself? I can't? Well here's a reality check, Matty Baby, if I can retain in the Chamber by myself, I can beat you by myself! You want proof? Mushroom Kingdom..." Mario then made a sweeping motion with his hand. "...Non-factor. They won't get involved, and I won't try to DQ myself because I want to beat you, Matt. That's the only real way to kill this stupid Resurrection. So you got your wish, no one to interfere, no one to get involved, and it's gonna be the sweetest victory I've ever had when I pin you 1-2-3."
"Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it when it comes to you. Regardless, it doesn't matter if you bring the Mushroom Kingdom or try to get yourself DQed or counted out." Matt frowned. "Because I came to win... I came to become a World Champion once more, I came to complete the Resurrection, and hell or high water, that's what I'm gonna do."
"...Well...that escalated quickly." Force quipped. "Moving on... Now...the World Title's at the center of all of this...but there's this huge animosity between you two. A lot of anger and hate...and much of it stems from...Mario kidnapping Platinum and putting her and you, Matt, through so much..." Matt scowled at the memories. "...so I have to ask...why? Why go that far, Mario? Why do that to a girl who doesn't even work here and make this that personal?"
"He needed to be taught a lesson." Mario simply shrugged. "People like Matt...they're too thick to get the memo most of the time. Of when to quit and know when they're outmatched. They like to keep fighting as if there's hope...when he doesn't realize reality and who rules it...me. So I kidnapped Platinum, I led Matty Baby on a wild goose chase, and I got the last laugh because I can do just that, and more. I rule this company, Force. You can hate that all you want, but I do, and Matt didn't know that...but now he does, along with anyone else who tried to deny it. He realized how far outclassed he is, that I truly am the Greatest Champion Ever! The greatest wrestling in history! Unfortunately, he still wishes to be defiant. You know what, that's fine. Just means the final kill will be that much more fun! This is reality, and it's a reality Matt's gonna get used to after I send him back home crying to wherever he came from while the greatest reign ever conti-"
"God, I hate you." Matt spoke up with an exasperated tone, and narrowed Mario eyes. "...I hate you so much, you arrogant, egotistical jackass. The funny thing is, I actually respected you at first because of your career, but now I can only find a desire to maim your ass in its place, and it's all your damn fault for what you've done. And if it weren't for Force's damn ruling, I'd do that here and now with a smile on my face."
"Like you even can, Matt. This is my world, my reality-" Mario began.
"And it's a reality I'm gonna make crumble. I'm gonna destroy everything you cherish, and burn your reality and your kingdom to the ground. And you ain't gonna do a damn thing about it. Because Force didn't ask me what the title meant to me." Matt stated.
"Huh...he's right. I didn't...damn, I completely missed that. Like I was SUPPOSED to...weird." Force shrugged. "So what does the title mean to you, Matt? What does it mean to be World Heavyweight Champion?"
"It means a lot of things." Matt stated as he stared at Mario. "It means finally putting my past to rest, it means finally affirming the new life I've built for myself, it means becoming a World Champion alongside Tai and Sora as XCW World and Women's Champions in the ultimate scenario, it means finally ending your reign, Mario, and freeing everybody from your crap, it means popping your ego, it means being the best, it means finally proving I can still reach the top, it means that I completed my Resurrection for good, it means...everything to me. To be World Heavyweight Champion...means I can go up to your face, Mario...and say... 'I'm Matt Ishida...World Heavyweight Champion. And I'm better than you.' And I know that's gonna eat you alive every day after...and that puts a smile on my face."
Mario glared darkly at Matt for those words, who just glared right back...and Force scratched his head.
"Well...this certainly got very heated...then again, who didn't see that coming? Thanks for being...somewhat..professional, I think, and thanks for actual following rulings for once on this. Any last words to say to your challenger before this Sunday, Mario?"
"...Yeah...I do. Yamato Ishida..." Mario began, actually using Matt's Japanese name. "...I don't respect you. I never have, and I never will. I don't like you, your hair, your music, your wrestling style, your career, your friends, your family, your life, I don't like a damn thing about you. You are nothing before me...and you always will be. And at Final Clash, you will get the absolute best Super Mario there can ever be...and you're going to realize that's just too much for you to handle. I'm tired of hearing about this stupid Resurrection...at this point, I just want it dead no matter what. So at Final Clash, it dies for good, and you'll wallow in depression, while the true face of UCA kicks you to the curb so the real stars get to play. You are nothing, Yamato Ishida...and the Greatest Champion Ever ends your dreams this Sunday. Because I am the absolute best...and you just don't compare.
Mario leaned back in his seat, adjusting his World Title over his shoulder as Matt just stared at him and Force whistled at that...
"...That wasn't demeaning and disrespectful at all..." Force remarked sarcastically. "...Matt...I'm sure you got final words with that said. What are yours?"
"...Mario...I'm done with you. I'm just done with you and your crap." Matt stated strongly. "And I'm gonna do the entire Multiverse the ultimate favor when I take what you cherish most, the UCA World Heavyweight Championship. You can try and kill the Resurrection all you want, try as hard as you can...but it just can't die, not at this point. It's gonna run you over, and leave you with nothing because that's what you deserve at this point. For everyone you've screwed, for everyone tired of you, for the Destined, for my friends...for Platinum...I'm ending your little world. At Final Clash...the Resurrection finally completes the journey, and I become truly reborn. And if doing that means destroying you...well, then that's just the greatest...bonus...ever." Matt drawled out, mocking Mario. "So get ready, Mario...cause the next UCA World Heavyweight Champion will be...Yamato "Matt" Ishida...and I hope you choke on that."
Mario just stared daggers at Matt...who stared right back...and the Champion just raised his title belt to affirm his status...and tension was high between them...
"Well...who says you can't get intense without needing to yell a thing?" Force quipped. "Mario...Matt... Thank you for your time, and for giving us this interview. I speak for everyone when I say this is gonna be one hell of a match, one to remember... Damn, I love owning this company, I'm so glad it managed to get to this point. Heh...World Title on the line...Mario and Matt...who's gonna win? Back to you, Church and Sarge. Keep doing your jobs."
Singles Match - Sora's Open Challenge
Sora stood in the middle of the ring twirling a mic in his hand as the crowd gave him a mixed reaction...
"Soooo...I'm sure you all saw Pride & Glory, right? And if you saw it, you saw that Tidus RETAINED the UCA Cruiserweight Championship in his match!" Sora stated, garnering loud cheers. "Yeah, Tidus managed to keep the title in UCA against all odds...and I say that's good because THAT means I get to be the one to take the title from him myself." Sora smirked...but then frowned. "But see...Tidus is getting a big head...I bet that sort of victory, along with time he's gotten over on me means he's starting to think he can beat me. Well he has another thing coming, because ANYTHING he can do...I can do BETTER. He needs to learn that I am his BETTER...and that his time's running out after all the stunts he's pulled on me...
"...so I'm issuing an OPEN CHALLENGE. That's right, anybody that wants to face me right now, come out and try your luck! I'm gonna show Tidus just EXACTLY what he's gonna beat by in six days...and considering other crap I'm dealing..." Sora grimaces for a second. "...I so need this. So Open Challenge...starts NOW... Whoever wants to get beat...come on out."
Sora dropped the mic to his side and began pacing inside the ring with a grin, awaiting whoever would answer the challenge...
"Sora's pretty cocky...then again when is he NOT? But Sora throwing out this Open Challenge, really trying to one-up Tidus here." Church said.
"Well of course he is, he's better in every way, right? No surprise he's trying to! And no matter who comes out, he's gonna do exactly th-" Sarge said when...
("Immortal" by Eve to Adam)
"...What in the popsicle Sam hell? Sarge questioned.
In a way, the crowd asked the same thing just without the nonsensical crap as they wondered whose music this was...until they saw a blue flash come through the back and appear on the stage...and a blue jackal with black ears anda black snout, yellow torso, and such, was kneeling on the stage, spike on his hands and knees, before standing fully...
...and there was a SHOCK POP as Lucario stood on the stage, arms crossed and eyes closed as he calm and collected before he snapped his eyes open, burning with focus towards Sora, who just raised an eyebrow at this. Lucario observed Sora a bit more before he made his way down the ramp...
"Wait a second, is that... Damn, it is! It's LUCARIO! From our developmental territory, Animated Universal Wrestling, and he's one of our top prospects there! Lucario's come into his own there, and he actually came here to answer Sora's open challenge!" Church said.
"...He's a Pokemon..." Sarge said.
"He's a former AUW Heavyweight Champion, Sarge! And he's had some of AUW's best matches in history!" Church stated.
"...He's a POKEMON." Sarge repeated.
"He's a guy who's been touted as the future, and one of the leaders of the dubbed 'Pokemon Revolution'!" Church tried to tell Sarge.
"HE'S A POKEMON!" Sarge shouted.
Lucario entered the ring and stood off with Sora, who still had that raised eyebrow about him...all while the crowd...didn't know what to MAKE of Lucario. After awhile though, Sora smirked...
"Well...not what I expected...but I'll take it. So you want to be famous, huh Pokemon? You want to get your name out there." Sora smirked, and Lucario just continued to stare. "...Well you came to the right place because I'm about to give you your fifteen minutes of fame, and I'm gonna give you a great match. Just know that that's how long it'll last...because there's NO WAY you're beating me! But hey...you can tell your Poke-pals you got beat by the future Cruiserweight Cha-"
LUCARIO ROUNDHOUSED SORA IN THE SKULL! Sora fell down and rolled away as the crowd popped in surprised. They LIKED that bit of attitude from Lucario! Sora sat up against the corner and looked stunned at Lucario as he held his head, and Lucario just glared at him as if to say "How about you shut up and fight me already?"
"LUCARIO damn near kicked Sora's head in! Lucario didn't want to hear any more of Sora's talk than he had to! He came for a match, and he's going to get it!" Church said.
"HEY, you can't do that to him, you damn Pokemon! SORA, TEACH THIS GUY A LESSON...IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE RED!" Sarge exclaimed.
Sora narrowed his eyes...before standing up to his feet and nodding, saying "Alright...you got it. Be careful what you wished for though..." And that was the call for the ref to ring the bell...
*Skip*
Sora ducked a Clothesline from Clothesline, and nailed a Jumping Knee Smash to the jaw! With Lucario dazed, he grabbed him a Full Nelson and lifted him up...but Lucario suddenly rolled through with a Victory Roll! Sora managed to roll through that and get to his feet near the ropes, while Lucario ran at him, but Sora Back Dropped him over the ropes...
...
...but Lucario landed on the apron! Sora turned around to face Lucario, but the Aura Pokemon slid himself under the ropes and between Sora's legs to get behind, then stood and DROPKICKED him through the ropes! Sora stood on the outside, but Lucario bounced off the ropes towards him...
...
...AND NAILED AN OVER-THE-TOP ROPE SOMERSAULT SENTON ON SORA!
*Skip*
Lucario had Sora reeling in the corner, nailing vicious Forearms to the face repeatedly, before Irish Whipping him...but Sora reversed and Irish Whipped him into the opposite corner instead! Lucario was against it AND AVOIDED A CORNER CLOTHESLINE! Sora turned around and SHOOT KICK to the chest to daze him! Sora groaned...while Lucario backed up...and RAN...
...
...CORNER DROPKI-Sora LIFTED Lucario OVERHEAD with the momentum...AND THE POKEMON LANDED ON TOP OF THE CORNER WITH AWE...
...
...AND SORA SUDDENLY CLIMBED UP THERE WITH HIM AND NAILED A TOP-ROPE GERMAN SUPLEX!
*Skip*
Lucario was fighting back as much as he can, nailing hard Palm Strikes to Sora before boucing off the ropes and into a JUMPING CALF KICK! Lucario stumbled to his feet and into a Body Slam from Sora! Sora grinned before he ran towards and leaped off them...
...
...and Lucario ROLLED out of the way of the Springboard Moonsault! Sora landed on his feet and ran at Lucario, but Lucario POPPED him into the air and CAUGHT HIM with a HARD Shoot Kick to the chest as he came down! Sora held his chest in bloody murder on his knees as Lucario ran the ropes...
...
...AND STRUCK SORA WITH A BEAUTIFUL SHINING WIZARD!
*Skip
Lucario was nailing repeated Shoot Kicks at the chest of a kneeling Sora, unrelenting as the kicks came in faster and faster as the crowd chanted "YES!" with every kick! Lucario was getting more and more intense with each kick..before he backed up and measured Sora...ROUNDHOUSE-DUCKED! Sora ducked the final kick and grabbed the Aura Pokemon from behind and pushed him into the ropes...
...
...and Lucario held onto the ropes as Sora rolled backwards onto his feet! Lucario ran and GOT LIFTED ONTO SORA'S SHOULDER...
...
...FIREMAN'S CARRY NECKBREAKER! NO! Lucario actually flipped himself and LANDED on his feet...
...
...BUT GOT LIFTED FROM BEHIND AND PLANTED WITH A SONIC BLADE! COVER!

LUCARIO KICKS OUT! And Sora can't believe it!
"Lucario kicked out of the Sonic Blade! He kicked out! Sora's getting more of a fight than he bargained for, but I don't think the fans mind all that much! They're getting their money's worth here!" Church said.
"Well I MIND! Who told him he could get in this much offense?! I DEMAND TO SEE THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TRAVESTY!" Sarge shouted.
*Skip*
Sora and Lucario were trading exhausted rights with each other in the middle of the ring, the crowd into their battle. Lucario then struck with an Elbow Smash, Sora with a Jumping Knee Smash, Lucario with a Spinning Kick to the gut, and Sora suddenly lashed out with a Gamengiri to the skull! Lucario fell back to the ropes BUT PENDULUM OFF THEM AND CAUGHT SORA WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK! Sora stumbled up in a daze...AND INTO A JUMPING DDT ONTO THE CANVAS! COVER!
"LUCARIO! LUCARIO PLANTED SORA ON HIS SKULL! LUCARIO HAS THE NO. 1 CONTENDER DOWN! UPSET! UPSET!" Church exclaimed.

...
SORA KICKS OUT AT 2.99!
"DAMMIT, SORA! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT! I CAN'T TAKE IT!" Sarge shouted.
Lucario cursed Sora's resilience before deciding it was time to end this. He rolled over to the corner and stood near it as he observed Sora...and patted his knee as he crouched and measured Sora...
"Oh boy...I think Lucario's looking for the end game! He wants that Aura Storm! That Busaiku Knee Strike of his! That hits, it's OVER for Sora!" Church stated.
"SORA! QUICK! GROW EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD!" Sarge exclaimed.
Lucario waited patiently as he watched Sora slowly stir. He narrowed his eyes as Sora slowly rose to his feet. Sora turned around...Lucario CHARGED full speed at Sora...
...
...
...AURA STORM (Busaiku Knee Strike)...DOES NOT CONNECT! Sora SIDESTEPPED the knee in the nick of time! Lucario growled as he got back up and went over to Sora...
...
...who ducked a Clothesline, and spun him around by the arm AND DUCKED A ROUNDHOUSE! Lucario spun around RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK! SORA SUPERKICKED LUCARIO!
"OOOHH, SUPERKICK TO THE DAMN MUSH! Sora got ALL of it, and Lucario may be OUT OF IT! And he's NOT DONE..." Church said.
"THAT'S more like it! GOOD JOB WRESTLING GODS!" Sarge cheered.
Lucario was laid out as Sora went to the corner and leaped to the top...measured Lucario...
...
...
...AND NAILED THE KINGDOM KRASH! Sora hooks the leg!
"KINGDOM KRASH...and that's gotta be it, people! The hook of the leg!" Church said.
"Lucario..." Sarge began.

("Finest Hour" by Bulletproof Messenger)
"Here is your winner...SORA!"
*Skip*
Sora leaned against the ropes and holds his head as the ref raises his arm in victory, a smirk on his face. Sora says "All in a day's work, people... That's how you one-up, Tidus." Lucario had rolled out of the ring and sat against the apron, frustrated and disappointed in his loss after fighting so hard. However, when he heard some of the crowd's clapping in appreciation for his efforts as they chanted "YOU WERE GOOD! YOU WERE GOOD!", he knew it wasn't in vain, and nodded before he stood up and made his way up the ramp. All while Sora pointed to the Final Clash sign and shouted "NEXT CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION IN SIX DAYS, PEOPLE!"
"Sora gets a HUGE win in a great match, huge momentum heading into Final Clash! But Lucario really opened a lot of eyes! He brought it to a FORMER WORLD CHAMPION and took him to the limit! And if the crowd reaction was any indication, Lucario has a lot of things in store for him in the future!" Church stated.
"Yeah, he did alright...for a Pokemon. But the real story is SORA and his win! He ONE-UPPED Tidus for damn sure! He took on somebody he did not know about, and beat him in damn great match! And guess what? That's the same thing that's gonna happen this Sunday! Sora's your future Cruiserweight Champion! Accept it, DIRTBAGS!" Sarge stated.
("All I Want" by A Day To Remember)
"Oh NOW WHAT?!" Sarge questioned.
Sora snapped his head to the stage...where TIDUS came out from the back. The Cruiserweight Champion had his title in hand as he looked down Sora before making his way down the ramp, making sure to give a nod of respect to Lucario who he passed by, who nodded in return.
"Oh boy, the Cruiserweight Champ is HERE...and this is getting INTERESTING..." Church said.
*Skip*
Tidus was in the ring with Sora, mic in hand as the two stared each other down before Tidus spoke...
"...Not bad, Sora. Not bad. I gotta admit, you had a pretty damn good match out here. Hell, who knows? You might have actually "one-upped" me." Tidus stated as Sora smirked. "But...you know what? ...I'm kind of tired of one-upping you." Sora raised an eyebrow at this. "I mean, look at what we've done to each other so far... You used my moves, I used your moves, you screwed me out of a match, I screwed you out of a match (against ROBIN no less)..." Tidus chuckled as Sora sneered. "...I had an awesome match against three crossover opponents, you had an awesome match against the future of the biz... I mean, what else CAN we do to each other at this point to really one-up each other? ...Answer: nothing else...because all that's left to do is...to decide THIS..." Tidus held up his Cruiserweight Championship which Sora stared at longingly.
"...And that's going to be the FINAL one-up between us. Because whoever walks out with this, gets the last laugh here, because he'll be Champ while the other's not. And after retaining against a UCA legend, a gamer punk, and a Minecraft favorite at Fiction Wrestling's biggest crossover stage to keep this with UCA, the same stage my old man LOST on...I feel like I can take on the WHOLE WORLD right now. So get ready Sora...to get BEAT by the BETTER MAN on UCA's biggest stage."
Sora stared at Tidus after he said those words before chuckling himself, grabbing his own mic and speaking.
"Cute, Tidus...real cute. Lot of bravado right there..." Sora stated. "But you know what? You're right...you're absolutely right. I'm tired of one-upping you constantly...so I'm gonna one-up you for GOOD this Sunday. You managed to retain in that Fatal 4-Way, good for you...but I'm BETTER than all of them combined, and you KNOW it. Because I KNOW I can beat you, Tidus...and you know it too. And you better hold onto it real tight...because these are your last days with that belt. And trust me, when I am done with you, you won't ever want to face me again-"
SORA WENT FOR A SUPERKICK ON TIDUS!
...
...TIDUS DUCKED IT! Sora turned around...
...
...AND DUCKED A BLITZ KICK FROM TIDUS! The two got up and stared each other down as the crowd cheered...and Sora and Tidus...grinned at each other.
"Oooohhhh...shots fired tonight between Champion and Challenger... And they both know it was just warning shots...the real shots will be fired this Sunday with the title on the line." Church stated.
"And when the real shots are fired...only Sora's will find the mark! Because he's just that damn good!" Sarge said.
Sora smirked and said "Good job, Tidus...just know that won't be happening Sunday." Sora then dropped down and slid out of the ring, backing up the ramp as Tidus walked over to the ropes and stared at his challenger with his own grin. He then simply held up his Cruiserweight Championship, affirmation on who was the top dog, and who would REMAIN the top dog after Sunday. Sora just continued to smirk as he motioned for the belt before pointing towards it, the two staring each other down with the Final Clash sign in the background.
"Sora and Tidus clash in six days for the Cruiserweight Championship of the World, and it's gonna be one hell of a high-flying battle. But only one can be Champion, and get the final "one-up"..." Church said.
Master Chief Returns And Speaks Segment
The crowd waited in anticipation...this was something they waited the whole show for...and they knew the time was near for this one...
...
...
...
("Unknown Soldier" by Breaking Benjamin)
The crowd BLEW THE ROOF off the place as the new music played...
...
...
...and the cheers got even LOUDER as MASTER CHIEF came out onto the stage, his first time in UCA in MONTHS. Chief stood on the ramp, looked around and simply said "Good to be back" with a nod before making his way down the ramp...
"And the MASTER CHIEF IS BACK! YOUR EYES ARE NOT DECEIVING YOU! Master Chief is BACK in UCA, after making a SHOCKING return at Pride & Glory after the The RR and Team Quest, and left the RR LAYING! And he's back for ONE THING... STAR FORCE'S HEAD..." Church said.
"WHY THE HELL DID HE COME BACK?! WHY?! Who AUTHORIZED his return?! Dammit,
*Skip*
Master Chief stood in the middle of the ring with a mic as the crowd cheered, chanting "WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!" and he just stared silently at everyone until...
"Well, they certainly are happy to see you, aren't they Chief?"
A female voice sounded through the PAs...and the crowd POPPED as CORTANA appeared right beside Chief in her hologram form. The AI had her hands on her hips as Chief stared at her for a second before saying...
"...So it would seem."
The crowd cheered loudly upon hearing Chief speak, and Cortana replied "Now, I know you're not one for too many words...but do you think you can spare a few for them? After all, they HAVE been waiting so long for this, you know?"
"...I think I can do that." Chief nodded before turning to the crowd. "...I've been out for a long time. I've been in a hospital bed, watching as everything passed me by. And I gotta say...a lot's changed here in UCA and the FWM."
"You're telling me...several UWE revivals, new companies, a war between CCW and WWE, a giant RR nation, Red and Blue about to kill each other...yeah, that's a lot of changes there. Surprised we didn't get a new FWM altogether." Cortana remarked.
"...And I saw a lot of things go down. But no matter what changed...no matter what happened...I always knew what my goal was. I knew what I would do, regardless of anything else. I...would RETURN. And after so long...I finally healed, and I knew the time to return was NOW. And what better place to do just that...than at Pride & Glory?"
"...And I made sure to protect those kids the RR were attacking...Team Quest, and took them under MY wing. Because those kids NEED somebody to help them, a mentor...a guardian angel, you could say."
"My idea...thought they would need it since Quest is gone." Cortana shrugged. "Those kids were never going to make it without SOMEBODY helping them, no matter what manly jargon they spewed."
"...They're MY squad now...Team CHIEF. They're under MY protection, and I made that clear when I left the RR laying. And the fate of Team Chief...that will become clear as time goes on. But that's for the future and others matters...because I got my OWN mission and objective. Because I knew I would return and I knew WHY I would...
...TO TEAR GEO STELAR APART."
The crowd POPPED loudly as Cortana remarked "Oh yes, that's something I can't WAIT to see now."
"Star Force Mega Man...he broke my neck months ago. He Giga Crushed my head into concrete, he "Gaming Killed" me...all to "stop me from taking up space" and to add an accomplishment to his career. And I give him credit...he managed to put me on the shelf. Not many people can say that. But he made a fatal mistake...
...he thought I would NEVER come back. But I ALWAYS come back."
Chief's face was covered (as always) by his helmet, but you could tell from his stance that he was getting REALLY serious. "He thought I was gone for good, that he got what he wanted and everything would be fine. He was WRONG...and now I'm back for GOOD. And he's gonna PAY. He tried to end my career, he tried to take everything from me...now I will take everything from HIM. He may have been Sole Survivor at Pride & Glory...but I swear...he will NOT survive m-"
("Modern Echo" by Flatlined)
The crowd stood up in shock as Chief and Cortana turned to the stage in surprise...
...and FOX MCCLOUD came out onto the stage, a hard look on his face and a mic in hand. He stared down Chief and Cortana, mostly the former, while the latter said what Chief was thinking, "I don't like the looks of this..."
"FOX? Oh boy, it's the OTHER man that was wronged by Star Force and nearly put out by him! The one who has a grudge match with Star Force Sunday! But what's he doing out here NOW of all times?" Church questioned.
"I don't know, but I HOPE they beat the crap out of each other! THAT'S the only redeeming thing about this that can happen!" Sarge stated.
*Skip*
Fox was in the ring, staring down Chief, who stared right back at him, and the tension was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. Cortana...simply watched it with a confused expression...before speaking up...
"Uuhhh...hello there, Fox?" Cortana asked with a raised eyebrow (well as raised an eyebrow a hologram form can give).
"...Is there anything I can do for you?" Chief asked suspicious. "Any reason why you're out he-"
"STAY OUT OF IT." Fox said firmly.
Chief paused for a second...before replying. "...Excuse me?"
"I repeat, STAY OUT OF IT. THIS...is between me...and STAR FORCE." Fox said strongly.
It was then that the crowd caught on to what he was implying...and gave a MIXED reaction to this, while Chief was most likely narrowing his eyes behind his helmet. Cortana crossed her arms with a frown and said "Oh, that's gonna go over well with the Chief..." sarcastically...
"...And why should I do that?" Chief asked with a...STRONG...tone shall we say? "Because I have just as much problem with him as you do-"
"NO...you DON'T." Fox remarked. "Because I get why you're angry...I know why you hate him. I don't blame you...he nearly broke your neck. He damn near Punted my head off...but see...he only affected YOU. I didn't get that luxury...because he proceeded to the same thing to EACH of my FRIENDS. Peppy...Slippy...Falco...they ALL got punted by that damn bastard and put OUT by him! Even my girlfriend, Krystal, got HARASSED by him just so he could rub it in! My friends...my love...my TEAM...they've SUFFERED thanks to that bastard! And I REFUSE to let him get away with it! I managed to return early so I could make him PAY! Make him pay the CONSEQUENCES his actions! I had my match with him...I knew the path I would take...and then YOU return..." Fox paused for a bit...looking down...before continuing...
"...and as good as it is that you're back for everyone... I'm NOT happy...because you could ruin EVERYTHING."
A mixed reaction from the crowd came as Chief continued to stare at Fox, not giving anything away before he spoke once more...
"...I can help though. I can help you make Star Force pay for BOTH of us-"
"Yeah...like Koldblooded have helped the STARKS in CCW, right?" Fox spoke sarcastically. "Like how Jesse helped Hakumen beat Vega in UWE awhile back... Or maybe we can go to Tsubomi trying to help Yaya Nanto at WWE/WCW Fallout and it ended up costing Yaya? Or we can even go in a different way with it in how Griff Simmons "helped" Yakko advance in the WND World Title tourney...only for it to go wrong and make the match a Fatal 4-Way? ...No...I KNOW how this sort of thing goes. I can feel it...you get involved...it's all gonna go wrong. Star Force will get away...and I refuse to let that happen. So you will NOT get involved...I get your hate, I do. I feel you...but I'm the one with the match and the bigger losses thanks to him. So I'm telling you to STAY out of it. I want and need to do this by myself...and that's exactly what I'm gonna do. Star Force will pay by MY hand. You can have the leftovers when I'm done...but I'm ending the Gaming Killer MYSELF. That's what I want...and I hope you do stay out of it.
...because if you don't and you try to stick your nose into this...then you and me have got a problem."
The crowd gave the same mixed reaction as before, but Fox showed NO FEAR in staring down Master Chief, who stared right back at him unflinching. The tension was in the air...until Chief finally replied...
"...I'll think about it." Chief simply said. "Just know this...what I end up doing will be because of my own thoughts and decisions. And if you don't like it...then we will have a problem. And I will deal with that problem like I always do. Either way...Geo has a target on his back whether you like it or not. Let that be known."
("Unknown Soldier" by Breaking Benjamin)
Chief dropped the mic and stared at Fox for a few more seconds before walking past the Star Fox pilot, and Cortana looked at Fox and said "Hope you know what you're doing, Fox boy..." before disappearing in a flash of blue light. Chief exited the ring and walked up the ramp, Fox watching him the whole time...
"...Tensions running HIGH... Fox told Chief to STAY OUT of what's between him and Star Force...he doesn't want him getting involved and possibly screwing everything up...but Chief is CHIEF...he'll do what he wants. And there's no TELLING what he'll do come Sunday. That guy...he's the X-Factor." Church said.
"Damn right he is, and he BETTER not get involved! If he actually succeeds in screw over Geo, I COULDN'T TAKE IT! Geo is such a proud Red, we cannot have that travesty happening to him!" Sarge exclaimed.
Fox shook his head before making his turn to exi-STAR FORCE SLAMS A CHAIR TO THE BACK OF FOX'S SKULL!
"HOLY...! STAR FORCE?! GEO! THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF THE RR/TEAM QUEST MATCH JUST SLAMMED THE CHAIR TO THE BACK OF FOX'S HEAD! WHERE THE HELL DID HE COME FROM?!" Church exclaimed.
"HE CAME THROUGH THE BACK DOOR! HE WAS SO SMART! HE BIDED HIS TIME, AND NOW HE'S SHOWING WHY HE'S THE GAMING KILLER!" Sarge shouted.
Chief turned around in surprise and saw Star Force slamming the chair on Fox repeatedly like a wild animal and ran down the ramp and got on the apron-STAR FORCE SLAMMED THE SKULL OVER CHIEF'S HEAD AS WELL! Chief fell off the apron and held his head on the ground as Geo shouted "I'LL DEAL WITH YOU AFTER FINAL CLASH, DAMMIT!" Geo...then turned to FOX... "But first...you..."
Geo stared down at Fox...and PULLED at his tuft of brown hair angrily, just frustrated as now both FOX AND CHIEF are back despite everything...before he raised the chair and SLAMMED it on Fox! ""You should've stayed DEAD!" He slammed it on Fox AGAIN! "You should've stayed GONE!" He did it AGAIN! "Star Fox was KILLED!" AGAIN! "But no, you had to be the damn HERO!" AGAIN! "Had to COME BACK and try to make me pay!" AGAIN AND AGAIN! "TRY TO RUIN EVERYTHING I'VE WORKED FOR!" AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! "WELL I WON'T HAVE IT! I WON'T! NOT NOW!" GEO WENT ABSOLUTELY CRAZY ON FOX, SLAMMING THE CHAIR ON HIM NON-STOP!
"GEO'S GOING CRAZY ON FOX! HE JUST WON'T STOP! GEO'S TRYING TO BREAK FOX HERE!" Church shouted.
"YEAH DO IT SOME MORE, GEO! DO IT SOME MORE! MAKE HIM FEEL THE PAAAAIIINNN!" Sarge exclaimed.
Geo was now JABBING the end of the chair into Fox repeatedly, exclaiming "You and your team DON'T belong in this business anymore! Haven't for a long time! I did Fiction Wrestling a FAVOR! But you didn't get the damn MEMO!" Star Force then threw the chair down to the mat and pulled Fox up the collar and held him face-to-face with the scowl and sad...
"...So now...I'm gonna have to break you for good."
STAR FORCE THEN NAILS THE GIGA CRUSH ON FOX RIGHT ON THE STEEL CHAIR!
"GIGA CRUSH! ON THE FREAKIN' STEEL CHAIR! Damn, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox was OUT! That was BRUTAL!" Church stated.
"And THAT is how the Gaming Killer takes care of business! Fox has bitten off more than he can CHEW!" Sarge exclaimed.
Fox was laid out...and Star Force looked down at him...he could end him RIGHT NOW...punt his head off and be done with Fox for good. He had the CHANCE...
...but he just shook his head. "No...not NOW. Not now...but at FINAL CLASH. That's where it'll happen...where the whole world sees Star Fox DIE for good. And I'm gonna make sure it STAYS dead this time." Star Force continued to glare down at Fox...
...
...
...until CHIEF SLIDES INTO THE RING AND GEO SLIDES OUT WHEN HE DOES AND JUMPS OVER THE BARRICADE AND THROUGH THE CROWD!
"And MASTER CHIEF chasing Star Force OFF! But the damage may be done! Geo got what he wanted! Not "Gaming Killing"...but a MESSAGE sent...to BOTH of them." Church said.
Master Chief stared down Geo in the crowd before turning to Fox...who was stirring but VERY dazed and out of it as he tried to move. Chief went over to Fox and tried to help him up...but Fox SHOVED him away with what sense he had, surprising Chief, but Fox managed to say "...Stay...out...of...this..." Fox crawled over to the ropes and leaned against them, holding his head...and GLARED HATEFULLY at Star Force who was in the crowd...who simply threw up the "Legend Killer" pose to boos from the crowd, staring JUST as hatefully at Fox. The two rivals GLARED at each other full of intensity and hate...
...all while Chief stood in the ring, between the two...contemplative about many things.
"Geo gets the last word, the last statement and laugh tonight...but come Sunday, there's no telling what will happen! This match-up has been MONTHS in the making! Star Fox versus Star Force. Geo Stelar versus Fox McCloud...with the X-Factor himself, Master Chief, in the wings... Good God, there's no TELLING what will happen." Church stated.
"Even I can't predict what will happen, dirtbag, even though I KNOW Geo's winning this! It's gonna be so unpredictable that no one can tell what's going to happen! It's gonna be a true war between these two, and you need to witch it...because we may not believe what happens in the end." Sarge said.
Six-Woman Tag Team Match - Tifa Lockhart, Agent Tex, and Kiva Andru vs Lightning Farron, Samus Aran, and Green
Green and Kiva started the match...and the Trainer GLARED at Kiva - she was still fresh off of being screwed at P&G by Kiva for taking her spot in the BOTB Match - and Kiva just shrugged and said "You took my spot, I reacted in kind. Your move." Green just glared DAGGERS at Kiva for this before getting into a lock-up with her, and kneeing her in the gut, followed by several vicious shots to the skull then whipping Kiva into the ropes. But the Megas XLR chick ducked a clothesline from the trainer, bounced back and nailed a Running Dropkick to the chest of Green! Green stumbled up to her feet, and ducked a MEGAS KICK! And then nailed a VICIOUS Enziguri to the back of the skull then set her up for an EARLY Green Mischief...
...
...Kiva spun out of it, AND NAILED AN INVERTED ATOMIC DROP! Followed by bouncing off the ropes and nailed a Running Boot straight to the face!
*Skip*
Tex had Green in the corner and was basically ramming her shoulder into Green's gut repeatedly, over and over again! Until GREEN caught a Shoulder Ram with a knee to the face, stunning Tex! This allowed Green to climb the corner and dive off...
...
...INTO THE ARMS OF TEX! Green's eyes widened as Tex shook her head...before adjusting Green over her shoulder...then RAMMING her against the corner...THEN RAN AND SLAMMED HER DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM, COMPLETING THE OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE!
*Skip*
Tex was nailing clothesline after clothesline on a cornered Green, before pulling the Trainer onto her shoulder for the Texas Dominator...
...
...but Green slipped out from behind it and Tex turned around TO A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! Tex was dazed and Green grabbed the arm AND FOLLOWED WITH AN EAT DEFEET! Tex was laid out as Green panted a bit...before standing up...
...
...and picked up Tex-SHE RAN OVER TO KIVA, LEAPED OVER THE ROPES, AND SUDDENLY HURRICANRANA'D THE FUTURE GIRL OFF THE APRON AND TO THE OUTSIDE, CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE HARD! Tifa was FLOORED as Kiva was in a bent and uncomfortable position!
"OH SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! Green just made a MOVE ALRIGHT?! She damn near broke Kiva in half with that move! PAYBACK for Pride & Glory, and I'm sure Green is VERY proud of herself right now!" Church said.
*Skip*
Green stalked the downed Tex, waiting for her to get up...
...
...when she got BLIND TAGGED BY LIGHTNING! There was a mixed reaction as Green turned to Lightning incredulously, who just said "Your time here's up, vet...time to finally stand aside for good, hm?" Lightning entered the ring, while Green glared at her...and Lightning stalked Tex...
...
...then nailed a BACKSTABBER ON HER! Tex fell down to her knees in pain, and Lightning wasted no motion in bouncing off the ropes AND VALHALLA STRIKE CONNECTS TO THE JAW!
*Skips*
Lightning was stomping out Tex in the corner, and tagged in Samus again. The two have been tagging in and out to keep things fresh...all while leaving out GREEN, who was NOT looking pleased. She could FEEL this was Lightning's desire. Samus nailed a few stomps into Tex before dragging her up to her feet...saying to her "Bruised ego, huh? Well how about I bruise you. At least I WON a World Title.." Tex took a SWIPE at Samus, which she BARELY manage to dodge...and that ticked her off and she nailed a VICIOUS elbow straight to the jaw...
...
...and Tex bounced off the ropes right into a DISCUS LARIAT THAT NEARLY TURNED HER INSIDE OUT!
*Skip*
Lightning was back in the ring, slowly stomping out Tex all over the place as she took her time. Once done, she waited for Tex to get up once again...she then lifted up Tex into a REVERSE TOMBSTONE position...
...
...
...Tex suddenly struggled against it...and SLIPPED out of it from behind and ROLLED Lightning into a Sunset Flip...BUT Tex suddenly stood up and LIFTED LIGHTNING UP ON HER SHOULDERS to her SHOCK...
...
...
...AND PLANTED HER WITH A SITOUT POWERBOMB!
*Skip*
Tex and Lightning were crawling to their respective corners...trying to make the desperate tag needed. Tifa had her hand out, and Green had her hand out...they reached and reached...
...
...
...and Lightning tags in Gr-GREEN HOPS OFF THE APRON BEFORE THE TAG IS MADE! And Lightning and Samus are STUNNED, while Green had a smarmy grin on her face as she said "Hey...you wanted me to stay out where I belonged, right?"
"...You BIT-"
That was all Lightning got out AS TEX MADE THE HOT TAG TO TIFA AND SHE CAME IN AND NAILED A DISCUS ELBOW SMASH TO A NOW STANDING LIGHTNING! And Green TRIPPED Samus off the apron JUST to be more of a bitch to them because they sure as hell rubbed her the wrong on the WRONG DAY.
"Green has BETRAYED HER TEAM, she had ENOUGH of them! She's leaving them high and dry, and she's leaving them with that GRIN on her face!" Church shouted.
"NOOO! GREEN! WHY?! STAY FOR THE REDS! STAY FOR THE REDS!" Sarge cried out.
*Skip*
Green is making her way up the ramp, whistling merrily to herself as the action continues to go on in the ring, not giving a damn as she did what she wanted...
...
...
...WHEN KIVA STRUCK HER FROM BEHIND!
"KIVA! Kiva just nailed Green from behind, I don't think she liked that surprise attack from Green earlier! She wants to make her OWN MOVE here and now!" Church exclaimed.
"HEY! HEY! STOP FIGHTING DAMMIT! I DEMAND YOU STOP, KIVA, AS YOUR SUPERIOR! I DEMAND IT!" Sarge shouted.
"...You can't demand shit, Sarge." Church deadpanned.
Kiva was beating down on Green, but then Green began FIRING BACK with her own shots, shouting "YOU SORE LOSER, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!" and Kiva shouted back "WELL I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR EGOTISTICAL DEMEANING OF ME!" The two were brawling like crazy and continued to do so until they went to the back...
*Skip*
Tifa had Lightning reeled in the corner with forearms over and over again before backing up and running, but Lightning MOVED out of the way! Tifa crashed into the corner and turned around RIGHT INTO AN ENZIGURI TO THE SKULL! Tifa stumbled on her feet as Lightning then bounced off the ropes...
...
...AND RIGHT INTO A POP-UP AND THEN DOLPHIN BLOW FROM TIFA! THE COVER!

...
SAMUS BREAKS IT UP AT THE LAST SECOND! Samus gets up and BICYCLE KICK TO THE JAW FROM TEX!
"Samus with the break-up BUT TEX WITH THE BOOT TO THE JAW! Tex just sent Samus out of the ring, and I don't think she's done!" Church shouted.
"NO NO NO NO NOT HER! ANYONE BUT HER BE DOING THIS! PLEASE! ANSWER MY PRAYERS!" Sarge exclaimed.
Samus had rolled out of the ring and stumbled upwards and stood near the barricade, and Tex slid out of the ring CLOTHESLINED SAMUS OVER IT AND INTO THE CROWD! The crowd CHEERED as Tex climbed over the barricade as well and began beating on Samus, but the bounty hunter fought back, and the two began brawling their way through the crowd themselves...
*Skip*
"Green and Kiva are gone! Samus and Tex are gone! Their problems with each other have led them out of here, and now it's just Lightning and Tifa! Final Clash come early!" Church exclaimed.
"COME ON LIGHTNING! ZAP HER INTO LITTLE PIECES OR...SOMETHING...! SOMETHING THAT'S PAINFUL FOR HER!" Sarge cheered.
Tifa had Lightning in a Fireman's Carry, and tried for a Death Valley Driver, but Lightning slipped out behind her! Tifa turned around and got a Jumping Knee right to the chest! Tifa held her chest, but then got a Leg Sweep to drop her! Tifa rolled onto all fours and AVOIDED A RUNNING DROPKICK! Lightning got back up and RIGHT INTO A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Lightning bounced off the ropes...
...
...
...and right into two Punches, Shoot Kick to the leg, Spinning Backfist, and then BEAT RUSH COMBO DENIED! Lightning DUCKS the Lariat finale, leaps at the arms from behind and NAILS A CRUCIFIX DRIVER ON TIFA! Lightning got up and fell back into a corner, where she measured Tifa as she slowly pushed herself up to her feet, dazed as hell. Tifa managed to get to her feet...Lightning ran...
...
...
...VALHALLA STRIKE-TIFA CATCHES LIGHTNING MID-MOVE AS SHE'S IN THE AIR WITH THE PREMIUM HEART!
"PREMIUM HEART! TIFA CAUGHT HER! TIFA CAUGHT LIGHTNING WITH IT, AND LIGHTNING DROPS LIKE A SACK OF HAMMERS! SHE'S OUT, AND THE COVER!" Church shouted.
"OH NO NO NO! MAKE HISTORY, LIGHTNING! MAKE HISTORY! KICK OUT! KICK OUT!" Sarge exclaimed.

"AH DAMMIT!" Sarge groaned.
("The Other Side" by Evanescence)
"Here are your winners...Tifa Lockhart, Agent Tex, and Kiva Andru!"
*Skip*
Tifa had her hand raised in victory as the crowd around her cheered, and she looked down at Lightning on the mat, who was just NOW beginning to stir after getting KOed. And Tifa just stared down at her before saying "Remember...one shot...is all it takes to knock some respect into you." Tifa then slid out of the ring and backed up the ramp, and Lightning was given her Women's Title, and she grabbed it despite the haze she was in and she managed to slightly push herself off the mat and glare at Tifa. Tifa held up a clenched fist and held up one finger with the other hand, signifying it would only take one shot, and then motioned for the Women's Championship, all while Lightning glared at Tifa as she held her head and title, now making sure to be wary.
"Tifa got a pin on the WOMEN'S CHAMPION! HUGE momentum booster and statement made heading into Final Clash! And Lightning now knows how deadly that Premium Heart is! One is all it TAKES for you to lose! And Lightning's in HUGE trouble!" Church said.
"No, she ISN'T! Tifa just got LUCKY! That's all! Lightning's always better than her, it's FACT OF LIFE! And come Final Clash, she'll show that she IS the future of Final Fantasy and UCA when it's all said and done! Tifa's career is THROUGH!" Sarge exclaimed.
"This Sunday, it comes to an end between Lightning and Tifa after all these months. Veteran and rookie fight for so many things, but one thing above all...the UCA Women's Championship. Who's gonna be on the top of the mountain? It's gonna be a CLASSIC." Church said.
The last shot of this scene is Lightning managing to get to a knee and holding up her Women's Championship defiantly with a scowl as she held her head, and Tifa held up her clenched fist still, rocking it slightly to get the point across with a calm look. The two stared each down intensely before it went to commercial...
UCA Rewind: Final Clash 1997
The Ultimate Stable Warfare, All For Tag Team Gold
"Final Clash 1997 is a very...underrated and overlooked Final Clash, partly because of Zack Fair's tragic death earlier in the year, and how it affected everything going forward." Ed stated. "Man, watching it, you could tell that there was a sadness in the air, a feeling that some things were not how it was supposed to be... Still, when you get past that, it's actually pretty great! It wasn't TOO memorable...but it was one of the most consistent, one of damn good quality. And a huge highlight of that show...well, it was a match featuring the Tag Team Rivalry of the 90s in UCA..."
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Theme played...and the crowd cheered as the TURTLE PARTY WAGON drive out onto the stage as green pyro exploded from the stage! Donatello was driving the Party Wagon, while Leonardo and Raphael hung off the sides, Leo himself raising a katana to the air, while Michaelangelo was on the roof, spinning his nunchucks like crazy as he shouted "COWABUNGAAA!" to a final blast of green pyro. Leo and Raph wore the World Tag Team Championships around their waists, and the Turtles then got out and off the Party Wagon and made their way down the ramp together, and sliding into the ring, and Donny and Mikey climbed corners holding up their bo staff and nunchucks, while Raph crouched in front of Leo, crossing his sais as Leo held up his Katanas as they all shouted with the crowd "TURTLE POWER!"
...
The South Park Theme played to loud boos though a few smark cheers were heard...as the South Park Four came out together, no fancy entrances for what could be afforded, as Stan and Kyle nodded to each other, Kenny glared at the Turtles, and Cartman sneered at them. Stan shouted at the Turtles "You know, we're gonna learn something today..." and Kyle followed it up with "Yeah, HOW MUCH IT TAKES TO KICK TURTLE ASS!" Kenny shouts were muffled by his coat...but his words most likely would have been censored. And Cartman finished it up with "YOU PANSY-ASS TURTLES, THOSE F*CKIN' BELTS BELONG TO US! AND YOU ARE GONNA LEARN...TO RESPECT...OUR...AUTHORITAH!" The Turtle glared at the South Park Four made their way down the ramp and entered the ring, staring down the turtles, and jawed with them, and Leo and Raph just held up the Tag Team Titles in response.
"The culmination of one of the biggest tag team rivalries this decade is HERE! And I'm PUMPED for it! After five years of warfare, those FOUL-MOUTHED kids, the South Park Four, challenge for the World Tag Team Titles against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! And you know the BIG part of this match, Pete..." Mickey said.
"Oh YEAH, I do! It's an EIGHT-MAN ELIMINATION MATCH! EVERY member of each team going at it, and the last one standing takes the gold! And I have FULL CONFIDENCE in the South Park Four! Because THEY are willing to do things those turtles CAN'T! That's how you THRIVE in this business!" Pete said.
"Maybe so...but there's no telling WHAT can happen...because when you have these eight personalities in the ring at the same time...that's cause for all forms of chaos!" Mickey replied.
"The South Park Four and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles practically feuded ever since the former debuted in UCA. The two stables put Tag Team Wrestling over in a big way for UCA. They had so many wars, so many battles, trading those Tag Titles with each other...they were an integral part of UCA back in the 90s when you think about it." Sora chuckled.
"After so many years, they were going to end their rivalry in the only way possible...with all eight of them duking it out for the Tag Team Titles." Tails stated. "It really was the only way to do it, had to find out who was the better team. After all the combinations of how they fought each other, this was the best way to do it...and boy oh boy...they delivered."
Leo had Stan backed against the ropes, and he Irish Whipped him into the adjacent ones, but Stan ducked a Clothesline, bounced off the ropes again *tap* and got LIFTED by Leo, but Stan landed behind and AND KYLE WHO BLIND-TAGGED IN NAILED A JUMPING KNEE SMASH TO THE JAW! Leo turned around, and Kyle grabbed him by the waist AND FLYING CLOTHESLINE/GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO FROM STAN AND KYLE!
...
Kyle had Leo reeling in the corner, as he backed up, then ran...AND NAILED A STINGER SPLASH ON HIM! Leo stumbled forward and DDT-Leo SPUN out of it and nailed a SIT-OUT JAWBREAKER! Kyle was stunned, but managed to throw a right, but Leo rolled under it, tagged in Raphael, and when Kyle turned around RAPH BIG BOOTED HIM! Kyle was down, but he got yanked up by Raph, then lifted up...AND BACK SUPLEX/NECKBREAKER COMBO FROM LEO AND RAPH!
...
Donatello was now having his way with Cartman, nailing Shoot Kicks to the chest of Cartman who was on his knees, before making a Shoot Kick to the head! With Cartman dazed, Donny then bounced off the ropes towards him BUT CARTMAN STOOD AND CAUGHT DONNY IN HIS ARMS! Donny was stunned before he got hit with a Inverted Atomic Drop and held there! Donny groaned in pain BUT A SPRINGBOARD NECKBREAKER FROM KENNY SILENCED HIM!
...
Kenny bounced off the ropes and nailed a Running Dropkick to the head of Donny, dropping him. Kenny then nodded and leaped at the ropes...SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT MISSED! Kenny held his gut in pain as he stood up but MIKEY got tagged in! Mikey ran in and ducked a clothesline from Kenny and nailed an ENZIGURI! Kenny turned around into an GAMENGIRI FROM DONNY! Kenny was dazed and DOUBLE SUPERKICK DAMN NEAR TAKES HIS HEAD FROM DONNY AND MIKEY!
...
Mikey was down and he was crawling to his corner for a tag...Raph had his hand out...Mikey reached...
...
...CARTMAN PULLED RAPH OFF THE APRON! Cartman chuckled with "Hehehe...sweet!" BUT GOT A FIST TO THE SKULL FROM A PISSED OFF RAPH! Cartman fought back, and fists were flying, and then Kyle and Stan ran to their position to attack Raph and help Cartman, and DONNY AND LEO FOUGHT BACK AS WELL! A MAJOR BRAWL WAS GOING ON ON THE OUTSIDE...
...
...KENNY NAILED A SUICIDE DIVE OVER THE ROPES AND ONTO EVERYONE! Everyone was DOWN, the crowd LOVED it...and they loved it even MORE when MIKEY was climbing the corner...waited for everyone to slowly stand...and shouted "COWABUUUUNGAAAAA!"
...
...
...AND DIVED OFF THE TOP WITH A SPLASH ONTO THEM ALL, TAKING EVERYONE OUT!
"MAYHEM! CARNAGE! CHAOS! ALL THIS AND MORE HAS HAPPENED IN THIS MATCH! THIS IS WHAT WE EXPECTED AND SO MUCH MORE! EVERYONE'S DOWN! IT'S ANYBODY'S BALL GAME!" Mickey shouted.
"It was such a chaotic match...never knew when the next double team move would come from, what would come next, when things would break down, it was mayhem at it's finest." Edward stated. "These guys were tag team wrestling personified...but eventually, the numbers had to be thinned down...one by one."
Raph was hanging between the ropes AND GOT A 303 (619) FROM KENNY! Raph fell backwards and rolled across the mat...and Kenny began going over to the corner, CLIMBED IT...
...but Raph was back up and nailed a FIST to Kenny, stunning him! Raph then climbed up to the top as well...then turned around and LIFTED Kenny onto his shoulder...had him UPSIDE DOWN...
...AND NAILED A FREAKIN' TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER OFF THE TOP ROPE! KENNY'S NECK SNAPPED AND HIS HEAD TWISTED UPON IMPACT!
"OH MY GOD, HE KILLED KENNY!" Mickey shouted.
"YOU BASTARD!" Pete exclaimed.
Raph pins Kenny('s corpse)! 1...2...3! Kenny was eliminated!
...
Kyle grabbed Mikey from behind and lifted him up for a Back Suplex, but Mikey flipped out of it and landed behind Kyle, stumbling into a corner! Kyle ran at him, but got a BOOT to the face! Kyle was stunned, Mikey lifted himself up the corner...then DIVED at Kyle...
...but Kyle CAUGHT DONNY'S ARM IN MID-AIR AND BROUGHT HI DOWN TO THE MAT! KYLE APPLIED A CROSSFACE! Mikey was flailing around in agony, trying to move, but Kyle was not moving as he pulled on the submission...
...and Mikey HAD TO TAP OUT! Michaelangelo was eliminated!
...
Donny held his head as he tried to get up...but Kylle GRABBED THE ARM FOR ANOTHER CROSSFACE...but Donny wasn't going down fully...and managed to throw Kyle off him into the ropes! Kyle rebounded, and Donny swerved around him to grab the waist, push him into the ropes, the roll backwards with him...
...then use that as his chance to place his head between his legs and SLOWLY LIFT HIM INTO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR! The crowd clapped for that technical and sweet transition as Kyle was stunned...then saw LEO climbing a corner, and managed to say "AH SH*T-"
...DOOMSDAY DEVICE ON KYLE! Kyle was laid out as Donny dropped down for the cover!
1...2...3! Kyle was eliminated!
...
Stan stumbled up to his feet...but then got lifted up into an Electric Chair from Donny! Donny positioned himself as Leo got on the corner again...second Doomsday Device of the match...
...Stan managed to slip out of the Electric Chair and PUSH DONNY INTO LEO! This caused Leo to crash onto the corner and fall off ONTO RAPH ON THE OUTSIDE! Donny was stunned before he turned around AND CARTMAN CRUSHED HIM IN THE CORNER WITH HIS FAT BODY! Donny stumbled out into an ELBOW SMASH from Stan...
...FOLLOWED BY A DOUBLE SOUTH PARK STUNNER FROM STAN AND CARTMAN! Stan with the cover!
1...2...3! Donatello was eliminated!
...
Cartman was stomping out Leo, who was down on the mat before picking him up and lifting him onto his shoulders for a Fireman's Carry...but an ELBOW to the face managed to have him drop in front of Cartman! The SP boy pushed Leo into the ropes though AND HE CAME BACK WITH A SPEAR! Leo then yanked Cartman up to his feet, grabbed him...took a deep breath...
...AND ACTUALLY LIFTED UP CARTMAN AND DROPPED THE FAT BASTARD WITH A BRAINBUSTER! Leo with the COVER!
...which the ref didn't count because STAN was on the apron distracting him! The ref told him that he was not legal, but Stan wasn't having it AND LEO KNOCKED HIM OFF AND HE HIT THE BARRICADE! The ref stuck his body through the ropes to check on him and Leo glared before turning around...
...INTO A BRASS KNUCKLES SHOT FROM CARTMAN! The ref wasn't LOOKING as Cartman threw the knuckles away and bounced off the ropes AND BIG BOY SPLASH (Big Splash)! Cartman covers as Stan GRABS the legs of a panicking Raph to keep him from breaking it up!
1...2...3! Leonardo was eliminated!
"DAMMIT! THOSE DAMN KIDS STOLE ONE FROM THE TURTLES! THEY PLANNED THAT, AND NOW THE TURTLE LEADER IS GONE! LEO'S OUT! RAPH'S ALL ALONE, AND STAN AND CARTMAN ARE GONNA BE LIKE SHARKS IN THE WATER!" Mickey exclaimed in anger.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now THAT...was AWESOME! STRATEGY people...strategy...you can hate it all you want...but the RESULTS matter. Now time to watch these two pick apart a turtle." Pete grinned.
"Raphael ended up being all alone against Stan and Cartman...and those two really beat the crap out of him." Tails remembered. "Raph was in real trouble...but he stuck through it...he had to, he didn't want to go out like a punk. And he wisthstood the storm until..."
Cartman and Stan were stomping out Raph who sat in the corner, and the turtle was unable to retaliate. Stan then ran to the adjacent corner then came back with a JUMPING CORNER DROPKICK to the seated Raph! Raph was down as the crowd booed, with Cartman shouting "SCREW YOU GUYS, WE'RE WINNING!" and Stan picked up Raph...
...and Raph suddenly began FIGHTING BACK! He nailed rights on Stan, then Cartman, and began trading blows! He was feeling it, pushing them back...until Cartman caught him with a Big Boot, sending him into an Inverted DDT from Stan! The two boys then nodded at each other, and Stan began climbing a corner and Cartman measured the laid out turtle...then bounced off the ropes...
...RAPH ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY OF THE BIG BOY SPLASH! Cartman stumbled up holding his stomach, as Raph got up AND DODGED A MISSILE DROPKICK FROM STAN! Stan hit CARTMAN instead! Stan stood up in shock before turning around...
...and got lifted up by Raph and POWERBOMBED HARD DOWN TO THE MAT! Raph stacked up Stan like an accordion and put all hsi weight down for the cover!
1...2...3! Stan was eliminated!
"STAN'S GONE! STAN'S OUT OF THERE! RAPH GOT STAN! He outwitted them and now it's down to TWO! FAIR GAME! Eric Cartman for the South Park Four, Raphael for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! One of these guys will bring this war to an END and take home the gold for their team!" Mickey shouted.
"COME ON, CARTMAN! I ACTUALLY BET MONEY ON YOUR DAMN TEAM! BRING ME THE MONEY! I don't want to lose out on so much!" Pete shouted.
"It came down to Raphael and Cartman, and the drama was so thick, you could cut it with knife. It was anybody's game by that point." Sora noted. "I remember watching the match myself...I was so on the edge of my seat, the match was so INTENSE... NOBODY knew who was going to win. And it remained that way tot he very end."
Cartman and Raphael were trading punches left and right, fists collided with each other's skull constantly, the crowd cheering for the amazing match. Eventually, Raph eventually managed to get the upper hand with several punches-CARTMAN DUCKED ONE AND NAILED A SAMOAN DROP ON RAPH! COVER! 1...2...RAPH KICKS OUT! Cartman shouted "WHAT?! THAT'S F*CKIN' WEAK, DUDE!" before getting up and measures Raphael...the turtle slowly stood to his feet...turned around dazed...
...KICK TO THE GUT...
...RAPH PUSHES THE SOUTH PARK STUNNER AWAY FROM HIM! Cartman stopped himself and turned around AND BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE! FOLLOWED BY A SNAP DDT! COVER! 1...2...CARTMAN KICKS OUT! Raph GROANED in frustration, and shook his head before climbing the corner...he stood tall on it...and waited for Cartman to stand...
...then DIVED...
...and CARTMAN MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! Raph landed on his feet and turned around AND WAS POPPED INTO THE AIR BY CARTMAN AND LANDED ON HIS FACE! Raph stumbled up to his feet SOUTH PARK STUNNER! CARTMAN LANDS THE STUNNER! COVER!
"SOUTH PARK STUNNER! SOUTH PARK STUNNER! CARTMAN GOT ALL OF IT! RAPH'S OUT! THE COVER!" Mickey exclaimed.

RAPH KICKS OUT!
"WHAT?! HE KICKED OUT?! I CALL BULLCRAP ON THAT! REF COUNT FASTER DAMMIT! UGH! ...These turtles JUST WON'T QUIT..." Pete shook his head.
Cartman...was LIVID! He shouted at the ref "THAT WAS THREE, YOU F*CKIN' HIPPIE! THREE! COUNT FASTER, OR YOU WILL SUCK MY BALLS!" The ref MAINTAINED it was three in the face of the...well...rage...of Cartman. So Cartman began stomping out Raph furiously before picking him up nailing a Falling Powerslam on Raph! Raph was laid out and Cartman stood...and shouted "RESPECT...MY...AUTHORITAAAAHHH!" before he bounced off the ropes...
...leaped up when he got to Raph...
...
...AND RAPH SHOT UP AND CAUGHT CARTMAN IN HIS ARMS! Cartman was SHOCKED as Raph buckled a bit...before standing UPRIGHT with Cartman and began positioning him over his shoulder! Cartman struggled but it was no use as Raphael held him upside down...
...
...
...JUMPING TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! RAPH DRIVES CARTMAN'S SKULL INTO THE MAT AND THE COVER!
"OH MY...! RAPH...! RAPH CAUGHT CARTMAN...AND JUST DROVE HIM DOWN WITH A VICIOUS TOMBSTONE...! CARTMAN'S DOWN! RAPH HOOKS THE LEG!" Mickey exclaimed.
"NO, CARTMAN, I GOT MONEY ON YOU KIDS! A LOT OF MONEY! KICK OUT! KICK THE DAMN HELL OUT!" Pete shouted.

"NOOOOOOOO! DAMMIT! I'm NEVER betting on you damn kids AGAIN! ...That's 100,000 out of my pocket..." Pete groaned.
"THREE! RAPH GOT THE THREE! RAPH GOT THE PIN! TURTLES WIN! TURTLES WIN! TURTLES WIN THE WAR! THEY ARE STILL YOUR TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!" Mickey called.
"Here's your SOLE SURVIVOR...RAPHAEL! And as a result...your winners...and STILL UCA World Tag Team Champions...THE TEENAGE MUTANTS NINJA TURTLES!"
Raphael rolled off of Cartman, tired as hell as he was SPENT as the crowd was thunderous and chanting "THAT WAS AWESOME!" Eventually, Raphael sat up and GOT DOG PILED BY MICHAELANGELO! Leonardo and Donatello slid into the ring as well and converged on their brother, celebrating this victory!
"...The Turtles ended their rivalry with the South Park Four, coming out on top and retained their titles...but everyone came out a winner that night." Tails noted. "In a night of consistency, but filled with an undertone that had yet to be moved on...the TMNT and SP4 delivered an instant classic. They showed why they were staples of the Tag Team Division, and cemented themselves as two of the greatest stable of all times."
"I would go as far as to say that was probably the best match the entire card, and hell, one of the best, if not THE, best Tag Team Match in Final Clash and UCA history. It was just tag team wrestling at it's finest, and it's part of why those two stables are legends." Edward said. "Love them, hate them, whatever, but you can't deny their impact. Guys like them are reasons why me and my brother are here...and no matter what, their impact in UCA won't be forgotten. And this match is one reason why."
The final shot we see is of Raphael hoisted up on his brother's shoulders on the stage, holding up one of the Tag Team Titles, holding up both of the Tag Titles for the Turtles, big victorious, proud grins on their faces as they took in the moment.
Main Event Singles Match: Bowser vs Sonic the Hedgehog
"These two have been at each other's throat ever since Bowser screwed Sonic out of the World Championship at Royal Reckoning. Sonic managed to get some form of payback by screwing HIM out of his World Title Match, then beating him at Last Stand after some...questionable means, but Bowser wasn't going to let that slide at all! Now these two square off to settle some of that before they head into Money in the Bank! This is gonna be intense people!" Church shouted.
*Skip*
Sonic was pounding furiously on Bowser's skull, letting all his anger out on the Koopa King, but Bowser pushed him away. Sonic remained standing and came back at Bowser AND INTO A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! Sonic fell down and rolled away and towards the ropes, standing up near them, and Bowser ran at him...
...Sonic pulled down the ropes and Bowser went over them! Koopa King goes to the outside and lands on his feet, but Sonic wastes no time as he bounces off the ropes towards Bowser...
...
...SUICIDE DIVE-CAUGHT! Bowser CAUGHT Sonic in his arms off the Suicide Dive, and the hedgehog's STUNNED! And it's easy picking for Bowser to run and RAM Sonic back-first into the steel post, dropping Sonic in agony!
*Skip*
Bowser stomped on the back repeatedly in the ring, garnering cries from Sonic every time before yanking and throwing him chest-first into the corner. Bowser then ran and STINGER SPLASHED SONIC as he was facing the corner, damaging his back even MORE! Sonic groaned in pain as he stumbled out of the corner...into a Shoulder Lift from Bowser...
...
...and Sonic slipped out of it and landed behind Bowser! Bowser turned around RIGHT INTO GAMENGIRI TO THE SKULL! Bowser held his head dazed as Sonic quickly rolled to the apron...stood on it, holding his back...
...
...AND NAILED A SPRINGBOARD KNEE SMASH TO THE SKULL!
*Skip*
Sonic was on top of the corner, nailing a dazed Bowser near him with several rights before he grasped him with a Front Headlock...then SPUN OFF WITH HIM IN TOW...
...
...Bowser THREW Sonic off of him to avoid the Tornado DDT! Sonic managed to land on his feet and SPEAR! SPEAR! BOWSER DAMN TORE SONIC HALF WITH A SPEAR! SONIC'S LAID OUT!
*Skip*
Bowser was throwing Sonic at everything outside the ring, the announce table, the steel post, the barricade, the steel steps, ANYTHING he could find! Sonic was a wreck at this point as held his back in pain before stumbling up RIGHT INTO AN UPPERCUT! Sonic was down, and Bowser yanked Sonic up to his feet...LIFTED him onto his shoulder for a Bowser Bomb...
...
...and Sonic GRABBED the ropes of the ring as he was lifted and pulled himself off his shoulders and onto the apron! Bowser was pissed and GOT A BUZZSAW KICK FOR HIS TROUBLES! Sonic then measured Bowser and DIVING HOMING ATTACK OFF THE APRON CONNECTS!
*Skip*
Bowser was dazed on the outside...and Sonic got on the apron once more...AND DIVED OFF...
...
...and Bowser CAUGHT HIM AGAIN! Sonic tried to get free, but to no avail, as Bowser lifted up Sonic in a Military Press, ran with a ROAR...
...
...
...AND THREW HIM OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD! FANS WERE KNOCKED OVER...AND IN JOY OVER BEING HIT WITH SONIC!
*Skip*
Bowser dragged Sonic back to ringside and tossed him into the ring. He then got on the apron...and CLIMBED THE CORNER...SNEERED as he managed to get to the top...
...
...DIVING SPLASH-MISSES! Sonic rolled out of the way, and Bowser CRASHED stomach-first, all four hundred pounds! Bowser held his stomach in pain as he got on all fours...
...
...CURB STOMP! SONIC NAILED A SETH ROLLINS-LIKE CURB STOMP ON BOWSER! BOWSER WAS OUT AND SONIC FELL DOWN IN EXHAUSTION! The crowd was on their feet, chanting "THIS IS AWESOME!"
"Bowser and Sonic are just beating the LIVING HELL out of each other, and these fans are loving it! Bowser and Sonic despise each other, and they want the momentum so bad for Final Clash! Neither is willing to give in! Who's going to win this one?!" Church said.
*Skip*
Sonic was measuring Bowser, waiting for him to get up...he just needed one more move... The Koopa King pulled himself up to his feet...and Sonic LEAPED AT HIM FROM BEHIND...
...
...
...Bowser HELD ONTO THE ROPES TO AVOID THE SONIC BOOM! Sonic fell down to the ground and rolled onto his feet and GOT POPPED UP INTO THE AIR AND THROW DOWN FACE-FIRST INTO THE MAT! Sonic cried out in pain as Bowser had ENOUGH! He stomped on Sonic's back and grabbed his head and arms...
'OH SHIT! He's going for the Koopa Klutch! That Camel Clutch that will break Sonic for SURE!" Church stated.
...
...
...but he couldn't get it locked in as Sonic was struggling and he managed to slip out between Bowser's legs! Bowser growled and turned around INTO AN ENZIGURI! Bowser was dazed as Sonic stood BUT GOT HIS THROAT THROTTLED STILL BY AN ANGRY KOOPA KING...
"CHOKESLAM TIME! BYE-BYE, DIRTBAG! See you...NEVER!" Sarge exclaimed.
...
...Bowser roared as he lifted Sonic...
...
...
...AND SONIC FLIPPED BACKWARDS OUT OF THE CHOKESLAM AND ONTO HIS FEET! THE CROWD WENT "WOOAAHH!" AS BOWSER'S EYES WIDENED!
"SON OF A...! DID YOU SEE THAT?! DID YOU JUST SEE WHAT SONIC DID?!" Sonic questioned.
"BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT...THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE! IT CAN'T BE! W-W-WHAT?!" Sarge exclaimed.
Bowser was SHOCKED but ANGRY as well and THREW a right but Sonic ducked it and ran to the ropes! He leaped at them as Bowser...
...
...
...
...SPRINGBOARD CUTTER! SPRINGBOARD CUTTER CONNECTS ON BOWSER! SONIC COVERS!
"CUTTER! CUTTER ON BOWSER SPIRNGBOARD-STYLE! BOWSER'S DOWN! SONIC HAS HIM!" Church exclaimed.
"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! YOU DAMN BLUES!" Sarge shouted.

BOWSER KICKS OUT 2.99!
"OH THANK THE RED HEAVENS! You SHINED your light on the chosen and made EVERYBODY be spared this horrible fate! THANK YOU!" Sarge shouted.
"...Seriously, have you become even MORE of an idiot?" Church looked at him incredulously. "...Whatever, BOWSER KICKED OUT! And Sonic...man, he's wondering what he has to DO..."
Sonic sat up, frowning in frustration as he slammed the mat. He was getting tired of Bowser and wanted to put him away...and he knew how to do that. He stood up to his feet and went over to a corner, and began climbing up it to the top. Once there...he stalked Bowser...waited...the Koopa King slowly stood...
...Sonic nodded...
...dived off...
...
...
...
...
..AND GOT CAUGHT ON BOWSER'S SHOULDERS IN A POWERBOMB POSITION!
"OH SONIC CAUGHT! SONIC CAUGHT IN THE WORST POSITION! SONIC MAY BE SCREWED NOW!" Church shouted.
"And THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! DO IT BOWSER! DO IT!" Sarge exclaimed.
Sonic went into panic mode and began nailing right after right on Bowser's skull, trying to get him to let go at any cost! Bowser wasn't BUDGING but they were getting annoying so he ran...
...
...
...
...AND NAILED A TURNBUCKLE POWERBOMB ON SONIC! Sonic was OUT of it as he stumbled out of the corner...into BOWSER'S ARMS who placed him in a Standing Headscissors then LIFT...
...
...
...
...
...BOWSER BOMB CONNECTS!
"BUCKLE BOMB FOLLOWED BY A BOWSER BOMB! DOUBLE BOMBS FOR SONIC! And Sonic's NOT MOVING! Bowser FINALLY got Sonic!" Church exclaimed.
"Finally, I can say...Sonic..." Sarge began.
Bowser dropped down and hooks the leg!

("Indestructible" by Disturbed)
"Here is your winner...BOOOWWWWSSEEEERRRR!"
*Skip*
The crowd was booing as Bowser had his hand raised, and for once, a small smirk was evident on the Koopa King's face. He looked down at the motionless Sonic in the ring...then placed a FOOT on his chest, and ROARED in victory, establishing dominance as the crowd hated it all. He shouted to them all "THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! SONIC WAS FIRST...AND THE REST WILL SOON FOLLOW! THE BRIEFCASE IS MINE!" Bowser then exited the ring and made his way up the ramp as Sonic finally came to. He sat up...and realized that he lost...and his expression grew dark as he shouted "DAMMIT!" before slamming his fist on the mat multiple times! He was denied vengeance AGAIN...he HAD to win Sunday...he HAD to. Sonic GLARED over at Bowser on the stage...who simply smirked at him before making his way to the back.
"BOWSER wins, people...Bowser wins and beats a LEGEND...a HALL OF FAMER...and he's got some SERIOUS momentum heading into Money in the Bank! He got some vindication! But Sonic...man, he's FRUSTRATED. He is PISSED...losing this match was NOT what he wanted AT ALL...it may drive him deeper down the path he's on." Church said.
"Yeah, well TOO BAD! Because Bowser won, he LOST! HE SHOULD GET OVER IT! He's a BLUE...of course he's INFERIOR to the Koopa King! It's scientific fact! And we can only hope he accepts this so he can learn his place...while Bowser wins Money in the Bank...or another Red...a RED BETTER WIN DAMMIT!" Sarge exclaimed.
"...I got a feeling...Bowser and Sonic are NOT done with each other, no matter WHO wins Sunday...bank on that." Church said.
Final Clash Match Card Rundown
"Well, the Path to Final Clash is ALMOST through people...we nearing the end of the show and have only one segment for you left. It's been one wild ride, but it's been worth it...I think...for SOME cases...I hope so...
("Finale" by Madeon)
"We would like to thank Madeon for the OFFICIAL theme song for Final Clash, "Finale"! Church exclaimed. "And Sarge, it's gonna be exactly THAT for so many feuds and such for UCA here!"
"Of course, dirtbag! It ain't called Final Clash for NOTHING! This is the big show, the coup de grace, and it's gonna be a finale of EPIC PROPORTINS!" Sarge exclaimed.
Pre-Show Match: Robin vs Riku
"And for Final Clash, we're gonna present to you all a special Final Clash pre-show, which will have Robin and Riku face off with each other for momentum! One wants to keep the roll he's on, one wants to end it and get on his own!" Church said.
"Robin's been getting LUCKY so far, and the luck ends HERE! Riku DESERVES SUCCESS! And it starts Sunday when he ends this STUPID story of the dirtbag, Robin!" Sarge said.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Crash Bandicoot vs Toad vs Johnny Cage vs Scourge the Hedgehog vs Sonic the Hedgehog vs Bowser vs Gold vs Naruto Uzumaki vs Takuya Kanbara vs Sly Cooper
"Then we REALLY kick the big night off with the MONEY IN THE BANK LADER MATCH! Ten men vie for the coveted briefcase that guarntees them a World Title Match, but only ONE can get it!" Church stated.
"EVERYONE in this match has a got a big reason as to why they want to win this match, but nine of these guys will be utterly BROKEN while only one can be called Mr. Money in the Bank! And it's gonna be a RED, count on it!" Sarge stated.
Green vs Kiva Andru
"It's a rookie versus a legend as Kiva Andru takes on the future Hall of Famer, Green! And this one's all about skepticism and proving yourself worth it, and Kiva wants to shove Green's words down her throat!" Church said.
"Hey, Kiva HAD her chance, and she BLEW IT! BLEW IT! But she couldn't leave WELL ENOUGH alone, and had to keep pushing Green, even screwing her out of Diamond in the Mine! And now...she's about to be HUMILIATED again! This time...on the biggest stage of them all!" Sarge stated.
Gordon Freeman vs Wolfgang
"Oh boy, you know this one will be interesting. After all the mind games, after all the mind screwery, the One Free Man, Gordon, finally takes on the Alpha Male, Wolfgang! And after tonight with the Bullies, Gordon will NOT have any mercy on the Bully!" Church stated.
"He BROUGHT IT ON HIMSELF! He DESERVED IT! The Bullies came in, invaded, and showed Gordon who's boss! And come Final Clash, Gordon Freeman's balloon will be popped permanently! Wolfgang's ON TOP FOR GOOD! ...THEN THEY CAN GO AFTER GRIF! GET GRIF, YOU BULLIES!" Sarge shouted.
Cruiserweight Championship Match: Tidus (c) vs Sora
"And the Cruiserweight Title will be on the line in a case of Final Fantasy versus Kingdom Hearts when Tidus defends against Sora! It's been a game of one-up and trying to get the last laugh between these two, and the final one-up goes to the one who walks out with the title!" Church stated.
"Tidus is a little cocky, thinks his retention at Pride & Glory means he can take on anybody, including Sora! But he's about to find out the hard way that he's no better than Sora! And Sora's a better Champ than he is ANY DAY!" Sarge exclaimed.
Samus Aran vs Agent Tex
"Dream match HERE people! Female World Champion versus Female Rumble Winner... It's about ego and pride when Samus Aran meets Agent Tex one-on-one for the first time to see who is BETTER...and you know this one's gonna be a FIGHT..." Church said.
"Tex and Samus have gone back and forth ever since this started...and I am FIRMLY in the corner of Samus...but my bones KNOW what Tex is capable of, and they tell me that this one's gonna be a HOSS FIGHT to the bitter end! Prepare for a brawl like no other!" Sarge exclaimed.
Fatal 4-Way Intercontinental Championship Match: Jason Krueger (c) vs Hope the Hedgehog vs Shadow the Hedgehog vs Chaos the Hedgehog
"And it's a Fatal 4-Way for the Intercontinental Championship! Jason Krueger defends against THREE hedgehogs, Hope, Shadow, and Chaos! Jason managed to FINALLY get one over on them tonight, but he's still as paranoid as ever as he KNOWS they're all gunning for him come Sunday!" Church stated.
"Jason's in trouble, I can admit that...this is the worst spot he's BEEN in... Hope wants to finally kick Jason and be a Champion, Shadow wants to end Jason's "reign of terror," and Chaos...he just wants to DESTROY...but Jason...he'll fight...he'll SURVIVE...and he'll WIN! ...If not, then GO CHAOS!" Sarge exclaimed.
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs World Tag Team Championship Match: Sonic Heroes (Tails & Knuckles) (c) vs The Elrics (Edward & Alphonse) vs Team 2D (Tom & Jerry)
"Tag Team WARFARE on FULL DISPLAY! The World Tag Team Titles are on the lines as the Sonic Heroes, The Elrics, and Team 2D all battle for it with TABLES, LADDERS, AND CHAIRS! OH MY! The carnage is gonna be REAL PEOPLE!" Church stated.
"That's right, dirtbag, TLC has become a STAPLE of tag team warfare in Fiction Wrestling, and these three teams are gonna murder each other, and break their bodies all to be the top tag team in UCA...AND NO ELRICS ARE WINNING! GO TEAM 2D! WIN FOR THE REDS!" Sarge shouted.
Star Force Mega Man vs Fox McCloud
"Oh, and this is one going to be SOOO PERSONAL... Star Force vs Star Fox. Geo Stelar and Fox McCloud COLLIDE in one of the biggest grudge matches in recent history! Hate abound as Fox wants VENGEANCE for everything Geo's done to him, and Geo wants to FINALLY end Star Fox and get him out of his hair...all with the X-Factor in the background..." Church said.
"Master Chief returned, and said he wanted Geo's head, but Fox doesn't want him ANYWHERE near this match because he may screw it up! No telling WHAT Chief will do...and that could make this match go EITHER way! This match is as unpredictable and hate-filled as they come...and no matter what... Fox and Geo will do all they can to END EACH OTHER..." Sarge exclaimed.
Sadistic Madness Hardcore Championship Match: Ben Tennyson (c) vs Senji Kiyomasa
"And oh boy...this...is gonna be a BLOODY ONE... Hardcore Title on the line, Ben Tennyson defends against Senji Kiyomasa in the match he's NEVER LOST, Sadistic Madness. And after EVERYTHING Ben's done to him, Senji wants to MURDER Ben...but Ben...he's unleashed a DARK side within him. He's not going to be the hero for this one..." Church said.
"Oh he's NOT, dirty Blue... It SCARED me what he said earlier...but it MUST be done! Senji's a PSYCOPATH, he's CRAZY! He wants to MURDER Ben! And in order for Ben to fight him in his environment, he needs to become a PSYCHO himself. He needs to be the psycho to BE the hero... Senji's out for blood...and I may spill upchucks by the end of it all..." Sarge said.
Women's Championship Match: Lightning Farron (c) vs Tifa Lockhart
"And now we get to the first of THREE main events for Final Clash! It's the clash of eras as the Vice President of the RR, Lightning, takes on Tifa Lockhart for the UCA Women's Championship! And this has been a match several months in the making, and you can just TELL this one's gonna be an instant classic!" Church said.
"Oh hell yeah, dirtbag, we can at least agree on THAT! Lightning and Tifa have been at each other's throats over respect, the torch, the future and who should stay, and it all comes to a head! LIGHTNING'S got this one...but she needs to avoid the Premium Heart at ALL costs...otherwise, it's LIGHTS OUT..." Sarge said.
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Super Mario (c) vs Yamato "Matt" Ishida
"And our SECOND main event and it's BIG! The Royal Rumble Winner, Yamato "Matt" Ishida challenges Super Mario for the richest prize in UCA, the World Heavyweight Title! Matt wants to complete the Resurrection and finally take down Mario, while Mario wants to kill it and make sure UCA is still his world. Only one's gonna get what he wants." Church said.
"Matt doesn't stand a CHANCE! How DARE he say all those things about Mario earlier! Matt has bitten off MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW! Let the RESURRECTION DIE! And let the Greatest Champion Ever live FOREVER! Matt's dug his own grave...time to lie in, pal and GET SARGE'D!" Sarge exclaimed.
"And now..." Church began as "Hated You From Hello" by Downplay, the official theme for this match, began as the final match graphic was shown...
Hell in a Cell Match: Red vs Blue Oak
"Our FINAL main event...and it's BIG. Quite possibly the BIGGEST match in UCA history. The end of an era as Red and Blue Oak battle each other ONE FINAL TIME inside Hell in a Cell to settle the score. And there's not gonna be a winner here people...just a SURVIVOR." Church stated.
"Damn right, dirtbag...this has been one of Fiction Wrestling's greatest rivalries, and it's gonna come to a BRUTAL and VIOLENT end inside the Devil's Playground. Even if I'm on the side of Blue, I know this isn't gonna be pretty...it's gonna be ugly...and it's gonna be the most BRUTAL and VIOLENT end to this we can have...and nothing will ever the be the same again." Sarge said.
"And it all goes down Sunday Night at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, which will be host to over 100,000 people, the largest crowd for a UCA event ever! It's gonna be a historic night, one to remember!" Church exclaimed.
Red and Blue Final Face-Off Segment
Red and Blue were in the ring at opposite ends, just glaring daggers of hatred at each other. Blue was bandaged up from his match with his twin, Gary, at Pride & Glory, while Red had a few bandages on his face from his own match at P&G...but they couldn't give a damn with how they look, because this was the final time they would face-off before Hell in a Cell.
"...So where do we start?" Blue began. "Where do we start after everything we've done and said?"
"...We can talk about how you look like absolute shit." Red remarked. "You don't look so good, Oak. Hell, you don't look like you'll be 100 percent Sunday. It might not be much of a challenge beating your ass in Hell in a Cell. Guess Pride & Glory wasn't worth it in the end, huh?"
"Hey, remember who won and lost at that event, then we see who was worth it for in the end!" Blue snapped, causing Red to scowl. "Yeah, you and your team got by a bunch of ROOKIES! How does that feel?! Meanwhile, I managed to BEAT my brother, I managed to be the Better Twin on that night, and bury the hatchet with him! The Oak Family's united and it feels damn good that FOR ONCE, I got something over you!"
"Oh we're going to go over this again, aren't we? Blue I'm sick and ti-" Red tried to begin.
"NO! YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME! You will NOT shut me out!" Blue scowled. "Because for TOO LONG have I been under your freakin' shadow! For too long, have I been pushed aside in favor of you! EVERYTHING that has ever happened to me has always led back to YOU! You're the reason I'm like this! YOU are the reason I wasn't treated like I should have been! For years and years, all anyone ever focused on was YOU BEATING ME as if it was the ONLY THING that mattered, and I'M SICK OF IT! I"M SICK OF IT! Seventeen years, nearly two decades worth of misery has been because of YOU! You have DEFINED my whole career despite everything, and I CAN'T TAKE IT! Everything I have is RUINED BY YOU! You-"
"SHUT UP!" Red shouted, silencing Blue who glared back. "I have heard this for YEARS AND YEARS... You say you're sick of it? I'M SICK OF THIS CRAP! I'm SICK of your complaining and WHINING, because THAT'S what it is! You got SO MUCH, but you don't focus on that! You GO ON AND ON about your freakin' "hardships"...you know, despite the fact that you're a LEGEND! A guy who will go down as one of the all-time best! I'm SICK OF IT because it's regurgitated BULLSHIT! You want to talk about "hardships" and misery?! I GOT THAT IN SPADES THANKS TO YOU! My life has been HELL thanks to your ass, no amount of success ever greater than the amount of crap I put up with you! Thanks to you, the amount of mental and physical scares is TOO MUCH TO COUNT!"
"WELL SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE SINCE YOU'RE THE GOLDEN BOY!" Blue shouted, garnering an "OOOOOHHH!" from the crowd as Red glared DARKLY at Blue. "Oh, was I NOT supposed to say that? Is Force not gonna like that? WELL SCREW IT, BECAUSE I'M SAYING IT! Since DAY ONE when we came here, YOU'VE been protected! YOU were groomed to be the FACE of this company! Because you were trained by Bugs, you know? Force's best bud? Original face of UCA? Yeah, that's not shady AT ALL..." Blue drawled out mockingly. "I was there...you were FAVORED...people in the back ALWAYS liked you! You were HANDED top face spot! They looked at you, liked who you were, and just said "Hey kind, you're gonna be a STAR! You've been PROTECTED ALL THESE YEARS by this company! Made sure their precious cash cow ALWAYS KEPT RUNNING! You were given EVERYTHING on a silver platter! But me?! I NEVER had the luxury! I MEAN IT when I say I worked the HARDEST out of the Pallet 4, I DID! The amount of crap I had to deal with was something you got shielded from! YOU were GIVEN IT ALL AND YOU DIDN'T SAY A DAMN THING!"
"OH HELL NO YOU DON'T! Don't you DARE insinuate I didn't earn a DAMN THING!" Red shouted back angrily. "Everything I have, I EARNED! I FOUGHT LIKE HELL FOR IT! I'm the "Golden Boy"? If that's true, it's because I PROVED myself! What they saw...was POTENTIAL! And if I sunk, then that potential was wasted! I BUSTED MY ASS to prove that what they saw in me was REAL! And at least I didn't come in with an ego where I thought the world was MINE!" Blue growled as Red continued. "Yeah, that was the attitude you came in with! You had an ego the size of a PLANET, and felt you were hot stuff because you were trained by DAFFY...you came in thinking you were gonna be some big hot shot everybody bowed down to! You expected it all to just COME to you from SO MANY people in the back! And when REALITY didn't match up to your deluded fantasies, YOU couldn't handle it! You couldn't handle the fact that no matter what you did, you COULDN'T beat me! You LASHED OUT to get what you "deserved"...it's the damn reason why you took me out in 2005! So you could be the only one to have the spot! Because if I was around, 2005 would NEVER have happened for you!"
"NO NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAIN! WE ARE NOT HAVING THIS CRAP INSINUATED!" Blue exclaimed. "We are NOT having the greatest year of my career demeaned like it's a pastime! You say I took you out in order to make 2005 a reality? ...WELL IF I DID, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET A TRUE CHANCE WITH UCA SUCKING YOUR DICK!" Red SHOOK his head but Blue continued. "Oh yeah, they were ALL ON the Red train! They loved you so much, you were the ONLY one they focused on! Barely ANYONE got their own shots to make it to the main event with YOU around! Only GOLD got an extended stay, and-Oh wait...he's your friend protege, yeah, that isn't shocking at all... I got SHAFTED for YOU, no matter WHAT I did, how HARD I worked, I was always stuck in the SAME SPOT because of YOU! You got EVERYTHING, you got the PUSH, the LOVE, the CREATIVE FOCUS...while what I did meant NOTHING...except MOCKERY! You never helped ANYBODY! Taking you out was the only way I would be able to shine, and show the world what they were MISSING OUT ON! With YOU gone, they all realized I was the BEST IN THE UNIVERSE! And I wasn't alone for the ride, I made sure to give people NOBODY thought of as rivals, or people who had been dropped the CHANCE THEY DESERVED! I gave an evil counterpart people wrote as a joke the chance and helped him become a SOMEBODY! I DID MORE FOR THE BUSINESS THAN YOU, WHILE ALL YOU DID WAS HOLD ME THE F*CK DOWN, YOU BASTARD!"
"SHUT...THE F*CK...UP!" Red ROARED in RAGE, a dark look in his eyes. "Don't you DARE make yourself out as some SAINT! That Rival Empire shtick was nothing else but PURE EGO! You created that damn stable to feel like KING OF THE MOUNTAIN! That wasn't about giving people chances, that was about propping yourself up as top dog and making yourself as some monster bad guy! EVERYTHING about 2005 was for YOURSELF AND YOURSELF ONLY! Even SCOURGE was just a way for you to say 'HEY! My student is BETTER than yours, Red! HAH!'" Blue cried that that was NOT true, but Red didn't give a damn. "Hell...that Universe Title I threw in the trash and destroyed? ...That wasn't something special, that was just you trying to make yourself awesome without RESPECTING the World Title! Hell, you made sure to go up to the higher-ups, and FORCED them to let you drop that World Title for a YEAR so you could play "Best ever" with a MAKE-BELIEVE BELT! YOU DISRESPECTED THE BELT, OUR WORLD TITLE, TO CREATE A DAMN TITLE FOR YOURSELF THAT DIDN'T EVEN LAST PAST A YEAR!" The crowd went "Oooohhh!" as Blue was PISSED. "And why? WHY go so far to make yourself feel so damn great? ...All because you're INSECURE over not beating me. Because you not beating me...has RUINED your LIFE... NEVER MIND anything else you got going for, I ruined your life! YOU'RE THAT F*CKIN' CRAZY TO THINK THAT! NEWSFLASH: BLUE! I DIDN'T RUIN YOUR LIFE! YOU DID THAT TO YOURSELF!"
"NO! YOU DID RUIN IT! YOU RUINED ME! EVER SINCE THE GODDAMN DAY WE STARTED ON OUR POKEMON JOURNEYS!" Blue SHOUTED out...
...and the crowd was CONFUSED as Red narrowed his eyes in bewilderment...and Blue PULLED at his hair, seething before continuing...
"You ALWAYS have...ever since that first day we got our first Pokemon from Gramps. That first time...you BEAT me." Blue growled. "You always have...because it was always about YOU... All about YOUR journey...I was JUST the guy that was your rival, the guy just to get in your way. Even my own GRANDPA knew that...he focused on YOU. He was the one who saved you when you tried venturing out...YOU were the one he ALWAYS gave advice to...YOU were the one he was more invested in! And no matter what I did, I always LOST to you! You ALWAYS beat me, no matter how hard I trained my Pokemon or STRIVED to be the best! It's like all my hard work always meant NOTHING in the face of you! And BECAUSE of you...MY RATICATE...! ...My Raticate..." Blue paused for a second...choking up before shaking his head, the crowd silent as they know this was. "...Raticate...he was GONE...thanks to YOU..." Blue spat out with venom. "...You took him away from me, you son of a bitch."
"...But...in SPITE of ALL that...I CONTINUED on...I moved forward...and I DID IT...I became the CHAMPION! The Indigo League Pokemon CHAMPION! I was the BEST!" Blue exclaimed.
"...and Gramps wasn't even there to congratulate me or celebrate me...because he only showed up when YOU beat me not even a day after I won it just to congratulate YOU."
The crowd gasped in SHOCK as Red's eyes WIDENED, remembering THAT day all too well! Blue SCOWLED...tears now running down his face as he continued...
"...HE came RIGHT as you BEAT me to take the title from me! I couldn't even have a freakin' DAY, a few HOURS with it before you RIPPED it away from me before I could truly enjoy it! And when Gramps got there...he never said I did a good job...all he did was tell me what I did WRONG, then take you to get yourself inducted into the League Hall of Fame! SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO FOR ME! YOU TOOK THAT FROM ME, DAMMIT! YOU DID"! Blue was crying tears of sadness and rage as he shook his head. "...I don't blame Gramps. I could NEVER...he's my Grandpa. And I know he didn't mean to hurt me now, it was a mistake. He shouldn't feel bad about it... No...I BLAME YOU. I blame you for TAKING EVERYTHING FROM ME! You took my Raticate from me, you took my Champion title from me, you took my Gramps' attention from me, YOU DAMN NEAR TOOK OVER MY LIFE! And no one batted an eye because I was the rival, and it was SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! ...Well F*CK YOU ALRIGHT! F*CK...YOU! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU THAT SO MUCH HAPPENED TO ME! I CAN'T EVEN BEAT YOU IN WRESTLING, AND IT'S THE SAME DAMN THING! YOU TAKE EVERYTHING FROM ME, AND I WON'T STAND FOR IT! NOT ANYMORE! YOU'RE A GODDAMN BASTARD IS WHAT YOU ARE, YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF EVERYTHING WRONG IN MY LIFE! YOU ARE, AND I WON'T EVER FORG-"
"F*CK YOU, YOU BULLSHITTING SON OF A BITCH!" Red suddenly shouted to stop Blue, his eyes glowing with RAGE. "...I...am SICK OF THIS...I am SICK OF YOU MAKING ME OUT LIKE THE BAD GUY! Like I MEANT to do ANY OF THAT! I'm SORRY about your Raticate, I didn't mean to, it was an ACCIDENT! I didn't mean to take Professor's Oak attention from you, I didn't even know you would be Champion until I beat the Elite Four...and that's the KEYWORD...I DIDN'T MEAN TO OR DIDN'T KNOW! You act like I did this INTENTIONALLY...but DAMMIT, I was just a DAMN KID, and I never took our rivalry to heart like YOU did! It was COMPETITIVE to me in the good way, and all I wanted was to be a Pokemon Master! I just went on my damn journey, doing my own thing, making friends, capturing Pokemon, AT NO POINT DID I DECIDE TO SCREW YOUR LIFE UP JUST BECAUSE! That's YOUR narrative, but nowhere CLOSE to the truth! I never wanted things to be as bad as they were, but YOU DID! GOOD JOB!"
"And you know what, most of that stuff was YOUR fault! YOU were the one who ALWAYS caught me at the WORST times, JUST so you could have an advantage!" Red pointed a finger at Blue angrily. YOU tried to be the favorite, and I ended up beating you by being better! YOU were the one who challenged me on the S.S. Anne when it didn't have a Pokemon Center that would have led to EITHER of our Pokemon getting in critical condition! YOU were the one that always ignored Professor Oak's advice and ran off eagerly, you were the one who never listened and paid the price for it! YOU were the one who BARELY attention to his Grandpa! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO COULDN'T BEAT ME WHEN I TRIED MY BEST FOR MY DREAM! I REITERATE...EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH...YOU DID TO YOUR F*CKIN' SELF! I DIDN'T DO SHIT!"
"But you're own messed up mind CAN'T GET THAT! You've deluded yourself into believing your OWN CRAP and have seen fit to use it at the reason to MAKE MY LIFE HELL! My life has SUFFERED because of you, no amount of success can fully make up for what I've lost thanks to you! I can NEVER be the same again...and you know what? YOU CAN GO TO HELL! I don't care what f*cked up reasoning you come up with, or how many people you've got behind you, you can BITE ME! You're a bastard, a JEALOUS, INSECURE BASTARD who could NEVER stack up to me and back up his damn ego! You were ALWAYS one step behind me, you could never hack it! That's YOUR fault, not mine, and if you cry to the bank, WHATEVER! I AM better than you, Blue Oak, whether you like it or not! And you know what else Blue...there's the one thing you NEVER want to admit..." Red growled...
...
...
"......The only reason you have a career is because I LET you have one."
The crowd GASPED and went "OOOOOHHHH!" as BLUE SHOVED RED IN PURE FURY! Red stumbled but SHOVED BLUE BACK! The two began SHOVING EACH OTHER VICIOUSLY...
...and Blue SLAPPED Red in the face WHO SLAPPED HIM BACK! THEY GOT EACH IN OTHER'S FACES! The crowd was on its feet, FEELING the two would come to blows then and there...
...but they just stared each other in the face...eyes full of hate, rage, frustration...and even a tinge of tiredness...and they stayed like this for awhile, seething...until Blue...brought the mic up to his lips...
"...I hate you. I hate you so much... I don't care what you say, you've ruined everything for me. You made me who I am...and no amount of twisting it on me will change that." Blue spewed out venomously. "...I may be hurt right now because of my match with Gary...but a little hard work, and Fiction physiology will help me heal enough. I'll be ready and in shape for Final Clash...and that will be where I end you for good. For too long, have I suffered because of you, forced to live with you always beating me and suffering the consequences for it. I'm the BEST IN THE UNIVERSE...and I finally establish it, Sunday. I will have no mercy...no regrets...and no second thoughts. I was The Better Twin at Pride & Glory, and I buried the hatchet with Gary... NOW...inside Hell in a Cell, I end the nightmare...and free myself once and for all. And when I end you...I can finally say with all certainty to you..." Blue then flicked his nose and said...
"Smell ya later..."
Red stared stoically at Blue for a bit...before giving his own last words...
"Talk, talk, all you want, Blue...but either way, this ends Sunday." Red replied back. "You don't DESERVE to beat me...you're nothing but a psycho who thinks his "suffering" makes him right and free of consequences. Emmy's right...people like you need to be DEALT WITH. And I'll deal with you in six days. You started this, Blue...I'M ending this. I'm gonna beat you one final time and end the REAL nightmare of YOU. Then you can finally f*ck off, and my life can be free of YOU... You've done too much to me, Blue...and I won't have it anymore. Hell in a Cell...the ONLY way to end this...it WON'T be a pretty, it will be ugly...it will make MANY people unhappy...but it MUST be done...and after I pin your ass 1-2-3...
...FINALLY GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL I'M BETTER THAN YOU! You call yourself the Devil, WELL I'M FREAKIN' LUCIFER AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO FACE THE ULTIMATE CONSEQUENCES! GET READY FOR HELL, BLUE OAK!"
Blue IMMEDIATELY growled and PUSHED his forehead into Red's, who pushed just as hard back into his The two heads pushed against each other as they stared at each other hatefully, no blows being thrown despite it...why?
...Because they were saving it for Hell in a Cell. That's where it would be all unleashed. It's where it would all come to a head and for good.
"...I...I...I don't know what to say...I...I really don't... I mean...JESUS...son of a BITCH..." Church muttered.
"...Dirtbag...even I can't find words for this...because...this is nothing that words can describe, what we've just seen and heard..." Sarge admitted. "...This is true hate at it's finest..."
"...Red and Blue...it's all come to a head soon enough. Hell in a Cell...the end of era happens in there...but what the hell is going to happen when the end comes? Just...what are we going to SEE?" Church questioned.
"...DESTRUCTION, dirtbag...destruction...and pure hatred. People, I hope you're ready...because in six days, you're going to see a clash unlike ANY you've ever seen! Even I may not be able to believe what goes down." Sarge stated.
"It may very well be TRUE hell when Red and Blue are LOCKED inside that Cell...SEVENTEEN YEARS, near two decades of hatred comes to an ultimate end...and only ONE can come out and say 'they ended it!' ...Ladies and gentlemen...we THANK you for joining us on the Path to Final Clash! It has to been a wild ride, and this go-home show has been INSANE! But we're abou tot reach the end of the path...and experience the Final Clash! For the final time before the big show...I'M LEONARD L. CHURCH!" Church exclaimed.
"I'M SARGE, THE LEADER OF THE REDS AND THE BETTER OF US TWO!"
"AND I'M THE SANE OF US! AND WE'LL SEE YOU AT FINAL FREAKIN' CLASH! THE PATH HAS COME TO AN END! TIME FOR EVERYONE TO DANCE ON THE GRAND STAGE! SEE YOU ALL SUNDAY NIGHT!" Church hyped.
The final shot is of Red and Blue just pushing their foreheads against each other in the middle of the ring, glaring with pure hate and rage at each other as they scowled, the show's trademark appearing on the bototm left-hand corner of the screen, as the crowd was finally alive, chanting only these, split RIGHT down the MIDDLE...
"RED! RED! RED!"
"BLUE! BLUE! BLUE!"
Time for hell to come upon Final Clash, everybody.
