A shot of a UCA arena is shown...when it slowly zooms out to show the city it's in...then the state...then the country, followed by the continent...and continues zooming out until it shows Earth...then begins moving as it continues to zoom out, showing the solar system, then the galaxy, then shows other galaxies, before showing the whole universe...followed by these letters and words fading in...

Clips of the many competitors tonight, from Jason to Hope to Gordon to Wolfgang to Kiva to Green to The Elrics to MANY MORE, all with shots of screaming fans and gathering people in between it all. Moments of past Final Clashes are shown so rapidly, brawls between the stars are happening all over...
...and the two shadowed wrestlers glared at each in the ring...before going FULL THROTTLE at each other, and then CLASH with each other, as the screen goes white, the fans going crazy at what they see.
"Tonight..."
Stares down of Lightning/Tifa, Senji/Ben, Mario/Matt, Star Force/Fox, Tidus/Sora, and many more are flashing across the screen in rapid successions...
"...is the FINAL CLASH."
It stop on Red and Blue staring each other down from last Flame, each side tinted in the colors of their names
...
...
AND NOW...LIVE FROM AT&T STADIUM IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS...
A path shown down a long winding road, and two speeding blurs are clashing all over the place along the path, one red and one blue. "Finale" by Madeon begins playing as they keep on clashing with each other until the path branches off into different paths and they each take one into a huge city...
UNIVERSAL CHARACTER ASSOCIATION PRESENTS...
The two forces are navigating their ways through the city with ease until they come up towards a HUGE blue star in the middle of the city, and then they rise towards it, heading towards each other as fast they can...
...and COLLIDE in a HUGE EXPLOSION of COLORS, causing the star to spin rapidly before the colors subside, and the star slowly stops spinning, revealing two words in front of it in violet lettering on top of each other, spelling this out...
FINAL CLASH
We come to the AT&T Cowboys, SOLD OUT WITH OVER 100,000 FANS IN IT! The opening pyro show begins as the ceiling erupts with pyro in an up and down fashion before the Titantron sets off its own pyro all around it, then the stage follows up and down and all around it! Red, green, blue, purple, and yellow pyrotechnics are shown going off, and the show goes on for at least over thirty seconds before finishing in one last blast everywhere, the lights coming on as the fans go crazy, and the lyrics from "Finale" by Madeon kick in.
Your last chance
Last summer
Your last dance
Beat to your own drummer
Go out fighting
Go out young
A flash of lightning
Eclipse the sun
The stage was black with sparkles all over, as if to give off the feel of stars, and had rectangular Minitrons stacked up on each other and placed on each side of the entranceway, slanted diagonally towards each other as if getting ready to clash, and above the entranceway. There was a circular JumboTron above the Minintrons, with galaxy-like circles and rings all around the JumboTron. It was the debut of the UniverseTron, UCA's own personal Tron in grand style, and on each side of the UniverseTron and Minitrons were displays of space saloons, cowboy-like saloons were a space-like theme to them and there were giant Dallas Stars all over them to add to the feel, and the words "Final" and "Clash" were above the space saloons, with "Final" on the left side of the Tron, and "Clash" on the right side. And finally, there were stars all around the stadium, each with the name and face of UCA stars past and present from Red and Blue to Bugs and Daffy, Link to Zack, Jackie Chan to Sephiroth, Cloud to Jason Krueger, Star Force to Freeman, to MANY MORE.
The camera goves over to the crowd, the over 100,000 strong people chanting and cheering, signs EVERYWHERE, ranging from "End of an Era!" to "Final Fantasy Knocks Me Out!" to "THE RESURRECTION IS NOW!" to "Take Them To The Extreme, Toad!" among so many others! The booths were shown for the company stars, ranging from WWE to CCW to UWE to FTW to UEPW to CEW to ALL OF THEM, any that participated! There were even a few known wrestling stars in the crowd, and the crowd could just FEEL the electricity in the air! They KNEW this was going to be epic! The camera then heads down to RINGSIDE...and we know who's greeting us there.
"WEEEELLLLCCOOOMMMMEEEE TO FINAL CLAAAAAAASSSSHHHHHHHHH! THE BIGGEST SHOW OF THE YEAR! THE GRAND FINALE! THE EVENT WHERE EVERYTHING COMES TO AN END! UCA'S ULTIMATE SPECTACLE, THE BIGGEST CLASH! OUR WRESTLEMANIA! I'M LEONARD L. CHURCH, EVERYBODY!" Church exclaimed.
"AND I'M F*CKIN' SARGE, LEADER OF THE REDS! OVER 100,000 HAVE SOLD OUT THIS EVENT, AND THEY ARE IN FOR THE RIDE OF THEIR LIVES! THIS IS FINAL F*CKIN' CLASH, AND OUR CARD IS THE BIGGEST WE CAN EVER GIVE YOU, YOU DAMN DIRTBAGS! OH HELL YEAH, IT'S HUUUUGEEE!" Sarge stated.
"A TWELVE-MATCH SUPERCARD for you all! EVERY TITLE in UCA on the line! TLC! Sadistic Madness! Fatal 4-Way! Grudge matches! END OF AN ERA! SO MUCH we can't go over it all right now! That's how big it is right now!" Church said.
"HELL, this Final Clash is SO BIG, we even got OUR OWN SPANISH ANNOUNCE TEAM FOR IT! Say hello to the fellow Red, LOPEZ THE HEAVY! ...Oh, and his partner, Speedy Gonzales, I guess, whatever." Sarge muttered.
The camera panned out to the side...and the Spanish Announce team INDEED had Lopez sitting behind it, the robot of the Reds adjusting his headset while Speedy, the small Mexican mouse, stood on the table next to him, with his own miniature headset.
"Hello. My name is Lopez, and I was wondering if UCA would ever bring me in considering it's love for Red vs Blue." Lopez said in Spanish. "But even I can't deny the excitement in the air for Final Clash. This is a VERY huge night...and lots of anticipation is around for everything on this card."
"Yes, you can say that again, my robotic friend. This is a night where everything comes together, and it truly IS a Final Clash for MANY THINGS. The CHAOS here will be UNREAL! You can just TELL it will be!" Speedy stated in Spanish. "...I just hope our table survives the night."
"Yes, I would very much like to at least KEEP our table and not follow the damn cliche of Spanish Announce Tables. Respect us, dammit." Lopez groaned in Spanish.
"Hehehehe...got that right you two...the Reds WILL dominate this night, I know it! And it's good to know you're gonna cheer every one of them on! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!" Sarge exclaimed...not having truly understood a single word they said.
Lopez and Gonzales just stare blankly at Sarge for what he said...until Speedy piped up...
"...Does he always do that where you all from?" Speedy asked with Spanish.
"Yes." Lopes deadpanned with Spanish.
"...Okaaayyy, moving AWAY from that, FINAL CLASH is here and I can very much tell you all that nothing will EVER be the same after this night! Hell, will even WE be the same after we see it all happen before our eyes?!" Church questioned.
"I have no idea, ANYTHING can happen on this night, but all I know is, I'M GONNA ENJOY THIS VERY F*CKIN' MUCH! AND I AM TIRED OF WAITING! LET'S GET THIS SHOWN ON THE ROAD!" Sarge exclaimed.
"It's FINALLY time to kick Final Clash off with a DAMN BANG! And here to help do THAT...our NEW UCA ring announcer...take it away!" Church stated.
The camera moves away from Church and Sarge...and ladders were shown set up all around the ring, up the ramp, and around the stage...and the MONEY IN THE BANK briefcase was suspended high above the ring on a hook...
...and the new UCA ring announcer, CAIT SITH from Final Fantasy VII, was in the middle of the ring! He had a mic in hand as he was on his giant moogle...thing...mic in hand, and jumping high up in the air and pumping a fist as some cheers were heard (from longtime FFVII fans) before landing back on his moogle!
"Ahahahaha! Hello laddies! How ya'll doing today?! The name's Cait Sith, and I am your NEW UCA ring announcer!" He spoke in a Scottish accent. "And boy, what a first day of the job, eh? Announcing at Final Clash, the biggest show of the year... Oh dear, now THIS is a hell of a debut, wouldn't you agree? But we're going to hop right to it then, because no point in standing around being nervous! It's about being EPIC this night, and I have to ask one thing...ARE YOU READY?!"
The crowd cheered LOUDLY in response...and Cait Sith just grinned..
"Heeey, I can't hear ya, lads...WHAT was THAT? Are you REALLY ready?!"
The crowd gave a THUNDEROUS reaction to that and Cait Sith just gave a thumbs up...
"FANTASTIC! Because ladies and gentlemen..."
*Ding ding ding...*
"This opening contest for Final Clash is the MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH! The first person to climb a ladder and retrieve the briefcase hanging above will be the winner and Mr. Money in the Bank, and have a guaranteed UCA World Heavyweight Championship match any time, any where they want within the next year!"
The crowd went crazy at this announcement...
...until the lights went out, CONFUSING everybody.
"What in the HELL is THIS?!" Church questioned.
"WHO TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS?! I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO WOULD DARE DO THIS!" Sarge demanded.
Everyone was wondering what was going on...until suddenly, the Tron began playing, and then a movie reel showed up, before an old movie countdown went from 5 to 1, and then showed the silhouette of a figure in some movie-like setting, a lush forest behind him as he cracked his knuckles, and began doing martial arts moves...and MORGAN FREEMAN (WHAT?!) began speaking over it...
"...What the F*CK?!" Church questioned as it started...
Morgan Freeman: This is the story of a man who has been through many struggles in life.
The story of a man who has fought...for everything he has today.
A man who has trained for so long, so hard, to become what he is now, and what he shall soon be.
The silhouette is shown jumping into the air, clips shown of him fighting bad guys of sort, nailing over-the-top kicks, punches, and uppercuts in epic-looking fashion as they stood no chance...
A man who came into this business with the biggest of aspirations, looking to be what he always knew he could be.
He wanted to show the world that not only what he did on the big screen was all him, but would also lead him to greatness.
He was charismatic, confident, cool, and most importantly...skilled. Better than the rest. Nobody could ever hope to match him.
The silhouette was signing autographs on the red carpets now, beating up bad guys behind a camera...then on a battlefield, and standing on top of a pillar, arms crossed, looking out to the expanse ready to take on the whole world...
But alas...it simply wasn't to be.
The silhouette then slipped off the pillar and fell down the expanse below, his screams fading out slowly but surely as he was swallowed up by the darkness...
Yes, it did not turn out as he expected it. For throughout his career, he had face tragedy after tragedy, threatening to pull him down. His debut in a new land...overtaken by the turn of a rival.
The silhouette was shown getting ready for something big, ready to show the world who he was...until everybody began IGNORING him...and showed them all CROWDING around a flaming-headed skull man, as he stood over a masked ninja angrily...and the silhouette lowered his head...forgotten.
He was mocked...ridiculed...and made out as a complete joke. Everything he did or tried...seen as failure and worthless.
The silhouette was fighting as hard as he could against all his opponents...but he got laid out and defeated every time. And everyone around him just laughed at him, brutally demeaning and making him feel like crap as if he was the worst.
And even when he achieved success, it was quickly forgotten by everyone...uncaring to his work, as if it never happened.
The silhouette was shown making accolades of himself, grabbing himself belts, defeating accomplished fighters, and having famous rivalries...but people eventually focused on other things, leaving the man by himself. They talked about other things, and ridiculed him more, as if his accomplishments nothing...and the man just hung his head down.
No one dared to take him seriously, no matter what work he put in, no matter what he managed to do. For years and years, this occurred...
It was a dark time for the man, a time that seemed destined to go on. No one gave him a chance, no one thought he deserved it.
The silhouette was shown sitting on the floor...darkness around him...dejected...forlorn...almost devoid of all hope...everything seemed lost...
No hope seemed to be in sight. It seemed like he was to forever be the joke, the laughingstock. All his hopes and dreams...crushed.
...
But then...a miracle occurred.
LIGHT was then shone through the darkness, piercing it and making it dissolve. The silhouette held up his hand, shielding his eyes...and from the light...came a group of people. Their visages were darkened, you couldn't see who they were...but they all bore armbands...with the insignia "RR" on them.
A new group to the world came to him...no, not a group...but a family. A family with a cause to better the world.
They saw in him what nobody dared to see, for fear of what it could unleash on them all. They saw his potential.
And they gave him the chance no one would...and brought him into their family.
The leader of the group walked up to the silhouette...and held out a hand to him, stunning the man beyond belief...
...but then he GRABBED the hand and was pulled up as the group surrounded him, and epic-sounding, inspirational, heroic music played as a montage of clips began.
And from there, the dominoes fell. His ascension began...and with his potential unleashed, no one could stop him.
All who stood in his way fell before his might...
The silhouette is now shown doing epic-looking, yet so choreographed moves on jobbers that dared to stand in his way, from movie-like villains, to horrible monsters, and badly designed CGI robots.
He took down a joker who dared to get what he didn't deserve and became a Champion...
A dude in a jester's suit was walking around, making jokes and trying to make himself out as so big, and began getting prizes, until the silhouette came in and beat the crap out of him before laying him out. He then took his belt and stood tall over the jester with it...
He then legitimized that very Championship and defeated any name that dared to come for it...
The silhouette is then shown defending his title against all comers, whether they be in the native land of his, other lands, or a land that all was shared, even defeating a legend that had been respected throughout all lands, and he held up his title with as he stood over all the bodies...
He even took out the nuts of all who dared opposed them...they were never able to bear children again.
It showed scores of men trying to come at him, giving off generic villain howls...and then the silhouette just drops to a split-legged position, and Nut Punches every single ONE of them...destroying their nuts as they all cry out in hilarious pain before falling into a pile of bodies...their nuts all around them.
His rise could not be stopped...and now it is nearing its end. All that is needed is a briefcase of unimaginable power.
But in order to climb up to the top to gain it...he must defeat nine foes who dare keep him from what he deserves.
The silhouette is then showing looking up at the top of a mountain, and a shining, golden, holy briefcase is floating above it...and he's about to go up to it...
...but then nine other figures show up, ranging from monsters to cheap cosplayers of familiar characters, and even misinterpretations of other characters as well. The silhouette just told them all to bring it and they charged.
They will try to hold him down, to keep him from what he deserves...but they will fail. Like the rest have before.
The silhouette is kicking some major ass with punches, elbow, strikes, and nut punches to everybody in cinematic montage fashion before there are all thrown onto a pile one by one, practically dead.
And then he will climb to the very top...and pull down the briefcase of ultimate power, completing his journey.
The silhouette climbed up the mountain, braving through storms, rainfall, snow, rockslides, giant monsters, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and Rosie O'Donnel before reachign the top...and pulling down the briefcase of power and holding it up for all the world to see.
Tonight, the journey reaches its end, the potential realized. And when it does...he will only have one thing to say...to all of the "haters."
The darkness around the silhouette slowly faded out...
...and revealed him to be JOHNNY CAGE, who smirked and simply said...
"You Got Caged!"'
The Universetron feed then abruptly cut off and the lights went out again...when suddenly the guitar notes and chords began playing...and the lights slowly began coming back up...when a RED CARPET was rolled out onto the stage...and paparazzi backed out onto the stage, cameras in hand...and it was then that the guitars and drums REALLY kicked in and the lyrics played...
I am perfection
Perfection!
I am perfection
So take your best shot
Give it all you got
Bring it on
Things are exactly what they seem
I will define the things you dream
Go check the scores again
I come out a perfect ten
They broke the mold when they made me
("I Am Perfection" by Beta Wolf)
The crowd gave a HUGE mixed reaction, boos and cheers...as Johnny Cage himself walked out, Internet Title around his waist, and a sleeveless black jacket on him bearing both the RR and MK insignias. He walked along the red carpet, smirk like always on him, as paparazzi were snapping pictures of him like crazy before he turned his back to him, and pulled out his sunglasses from his jacket. He then slowly put them on and said "Showtime..." before running his hands through his hair, gyrating his hips before throwing his hand out and turning around with swag. He made his way down the ramp, paparazzi continuing to make snapshots as he passed the ladders, Cait Sith making the introductions...
"Introducing first, representing the Rookie Revolution, from Hollywood, California, weighing at 231 lbs., he is the Internet Champion...JOHNNY CAGE!" Cait Sith announced. "...Good Lord, they actually let him MAKE THAT?"
"...First off, WHO LET HIM CHOOSE THAT AS HIS ENTRANCE?! And second, HOW THE HELL DID HE GET MORGAN F*CKIN' FREEMAN TO NARRATE THAT?!" Church questioned.
"He's a MOVIE STAR! He knows Morgan Freeman, so it's obvious Freeman owed him a favor! And I'll say GOOD CHOICE! What a way to make the movie TRULY AWESOME! THANK YOU CAGE FOR THE PRODUCTION! Almost as good as "Sarge: A Red vs Blue Movie."" Sarge stated.
"...At least it wasn't NEARLY as long or bad as Mario's damn production at P&G..." Church groaned. "Either way...a few months ago, Johnny was considered a COMPLETE JOKE that nobody took seriously. Fast forward a few months and a Rookie Revolution joining...and Johnny Cage is now a RISING STAR with a crossover title that he is legitimizing! He's probably one of the RR's greatest achievements, and now he looks to add a BRIEFCASE to his resume."
"Johnny Cage is the epitome of HARD WORK, a guy who just needed a chance! NO ONE wanted to give him a chance, or acknowledge what he did in WCW! But the RR did! They gave him the chance he needed...and now look where he is! A chance to be the most powerful man in UCA! This case gives the one who holds it ALL the power in the world, and Johnny is one of the men I ENDORSE to take the briefcase! GO CAGE! WIN ONE FOR THE REVOLUTION!" Sarge cheered.
"This will be Johnny Cage's FIRST Final Clash appearance...and he wants to make it ONE to remember by winning this match." Church said.
I am perfection
Perfection!
I am perfection
So take your best shot
Give it all you got
Bring it on
I hold your life here in my hands
I know you try hard to understand
Your little mind won't turn
Those little wheels will burn
You'll recognize just who I am
Cage slid into the ring and climbed a turnbuckle, pulling off his title and holding it the air as paparazzi continued snapshots, shouting "BEST CROSSOVER TITLE AROUND, AND A BRIEFCASE IS ABOUT TO GO ALONG WITH IT!" He jumped off the corner...and looked up at the briefcase...when another song played...
When the sun goes down
The stars come out, like the ghosts of yesterday
So drink 'em down, cause some things never change
Baby sing get loud, we ain't gonna fuck around
When the sun goes down, let me hear you say...
This is my town
It's my town
It's my town
It's my town
This is my town
It's my town
It's my town
It's my town
This is my town
("My Town" by Hollywood Undead)
The crowd gave out big cheers surprisingly for this one...and Naruto Uzumaki came out, wearing his red and black cloak from the "Pain's Assault" arc of his manga series, a determined look on his face. He then looked up at the briefcase from the stage, and pointed at it before shouting "BELIEVE IT! DATTEBAYO!" He then SPRINTED down the long rampway, passing by the ladders before reaching the ring sliding into it feet first, and popping into the air, pumping his fists as pyro exploded from the corners. He then ran the ropes and threw his fist over them before raising it, loud cheers all the way.
"Introducing next, from the Hidden Leaf Village, weighing in at 230 lbs..."The Orange Spark"...NARUTO UZUMAKI!" Cait Sith announced, "The Orange Spark" title a call to his ACW career.
"Naruto's done it ALL in the business...he has so many title reigns to his name...he once won three Rumbles three straight year in THREE DIFFERENT COMPANIES... Naruto may very well be a LEGEND when his career is over. He's won a World Title everywhere he's been one...save UCA. And that's his DRIVING MOTIVATION for this match! He had a chance at Final Clash 2009...and failed to beat Blue for it. And that has eaten away at him EVER SINCE... But this is his second chance to wipe it all away, to get the best chance of getting the Title that got away, and also do the one thing he's never done: Win Money in the Bank." Church said.
"Yeah, well, it an't happening! If Naruto couldn't win it THEN, then he ain't winning it NOW! He already has so much, he's already a World Champion elsewhere! He doesn't need this, and he's NOT a ladder match specialist! How many ladder matches has he been in?! I can count them on ONE HAND! Naruto doesn't have a PRAYER, and no dirty Blue like him is gonna win this match! For a Red was foretold to win it for all the Reds everywhere! AND NARUTO'S NO RED!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Naruto has been at this event many times, including a main event in 2009 as stated before...but to him, this is probably the most important Final Clash ever. And with good reason..." Church said.
If the city never sleeps, then fuck it, neither will I
You know we keep it thirty deep and we're as high as the sky
You can watch us thirty creep as we just ride and we ride
You can watch the fiesta drop from one side to side
We're breaking the boulevard, cause we get it better
If ever you need to find me, bitch, you can send me a letter
For ever drunk and disorderly off this vodka I'm pouring me
God damn man I want it all, my city of glory
Naruto looked up at the briefcase longingly...taking a deep breath as he knew this was his second chance...before glancing at Cage, with his cocky grin, and he said "You won't ever win this Cage...I AM..."...then the next song played...
On a cold winter morning
In the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign
We ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down
And the times are tough alright
The sound of evil laughter falls
Around the world tonight
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell
Bodies wasted on the shores
("Through the Fires and Flames" by Dragonforce)
The crowd BOOED fully this time around...and AGUNIMON of all people came out to some shock...and the Digimon suddenly lit up his gauntlets with flames...and he began throwing Pyro Punches into the air, the flaming strikes exploding in mid-air, raining down fire, before executing a PYRO TWISTER, the tornado of flames raging around him...before it disappeared...leaving TAKUYA KANBARA in Agunimon's place. The Legendary Warrior smirked as he stood full-up, a few cheers for the cool entrance, but mostly boos before he made his way down the ramp.
"Introducing next...from Jiyuugaoka, Japan, weighing at 224 lbs...TAKUYA KANBARA!" Cait Sith announced.
"Want to know what one of the biggest things to ever do is? ...BEAT RED IN THE MAIN EVENT OF FINAL CLASH. And Takuya did JUST THAT in 2010. One of the biggest upsets in UCA history! NOBODY expected it, and to Takuya, that was supposed to be the ultimate booster! It meant to him he was top of the food chain! Aaannndd...a few years later, he fell off the map...and that has REALLY gotten to Takuya, who feels he should be BIGGER. But Money in the Bank could rectify ALL of that...and get him back on top." Church said.
"Yeah, let's face it, he SHOULD BE on top! How many people have done what Takuya's done?! EXACTLY! Takuya's status as a Red is TRULY remarkable, but yet he's down in the dumps! NO ONE should have that after what he's done! He DESERVES this! And if he manages to win this, then I support him all the way! And if anyone in this match doesn't think he's top of the food chain, they will when he's done with all of them! THIS IS TAKUYA'S TIME, FOR THE RED!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Takuya's no stranger to Final Clash, he main evented this show back in 2010...and tonight, it could be the night he turns it all around." Church said.
On the blackest plains in Hell's domain
We watch them as they go
Through the fire and pain and once again we know!
So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness
Our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown
Far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls!
Takuya passed by a ladder and looked at it for a sec before heading to the ring and entering it. He stared down at Naruto and Cage...and nodded to himself...then to his Digivolution mates up in the booths...he's GOT this...but he FROWNED when an iconic guitar riff from the 90s played...
Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello!
("Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana)
The crowd cheered WILDLY...and even some fans SANG ALONG with the song (because it's f*ckin' EPIC)...when Exbo, Gold's Typhlosion, came out with a bare back...he growled before crouching down...and GOLD ran out onto the stage and HOPPED over Exbo and landed in front of him, before throwing up the Diamond Cutter gesture and throwing it DOWN as Exbo's back exploded with fire and threw out a HUGE Blast Burn into the sky which rained down FLAMES EVERYWHERE on the stage that went along with the yellow and red pyro shooting from the stage. Gold nodded and said "THANKS EXBO!" before grinning and making his way down the ramp, before pointing to the booths and shouted "ZOEY, WE ABOUT TO CELEBRATE WITH SOME LOVIN' TONIGHT! ...CRAP, I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT, DON'T KILL ME!"
"Introducing next...from New Bark Town, Johto, weighing in at 209 lbs...GOLD!" Cait Sith announced, even bobbing his head to the song because he's from the 90s as well.
"Gold may not be the uh...brightest guy around...but he's done it all in UCA! World Titles, Intercontinental Titles, Tag Team Titles, Cruiserweight Titles, even Hardcore Titles, he is one of only SIX MEN to be a UCA Grand Slam Champion. He may very well be a legend when it's all said and done...but he has not been a World Champion in EIGHT YEARS, and that has really bothered the guy. To fall so far, for so long, even winning as much as he have hasn't sit well...but this briefcase could be his ticket back to the top, his key to a FOURTH WORLD TITLE." Church said.
"I will admit, that Gold has carved out a legacy here in UCA. Hell, for a damn dirty Blue, he may be going into the Hall of Fame with all he's done. But his time on top is OVER! OVER! He had his chance, and he couldn't KEEP IT! AND IT'S BECAUSE HE'S A BLUE! Only a Red could have achieved that, and he needs to accept the fact that he's a FAILURE in the main event! NO MORE WORLD TITLES FOR HIM! He'll NEVER get another! GET OVER IT AND WALLOW IN BEING A DIRTY BLUE!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Gold has been down this long rampway before, with main events in 2003 and 2005... Will this be joyous like the former, or downright bad like the latter?" Church asked.
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah, hey, yay
Gold slid into the ring and held up the Diamond Cutter gesture once more before throwing it down once more for another BANG as some fans CONTINUED to sing along to "Smells Like Teen Spirit"...
...but then FIRE ERUPTED ALL OVER THE STAGE FROM ALL DIRECTIONS, COVERING THE ENTIRE ENTRANCEWAY! EVERYONE PRACTICALLY JUMPED OUT OF THEIR SEATS!
"HOLY HELL IN FUDGEBUCKETS!" Sarge exclaimed.
"SON OF A BITCH, WHAT'S WITH ALL THE GODDAMN FIRE HERE?!" Church questioned, before familiar metal began playing. "Oh shit..."
Another mission, the powers have called me away
Another time to carry the colors again
My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend
To win the honor of coming back home again
No explanation will matter after we begin
Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within
My true vocation, and now my unfortunate friend
You will discover a war you're unable to win
I'll have you know
That I've become
INDESTRUCTIBLE!
("Indestructible" by Disturbed)
The entire crowd gave out LOUD boos as it became clear who this was for, smattered by some smark cheers, the entranceway still having fire across it all...and Bowser walked RIGHT THROUGH the flames, his appearance matching that of his Giga Bowser form as he growled. He was all business tonight, as he had the FUSION Tag Team Championship in hand, glaring at every competitor before ROARING, spewing out flames from his mouth into the air as he did so before shutting it, snorting out some smoke before he stomped his way down the ramp, ready to tear heads off to get that briefcase!
"Oh sweet JESUS, that scared the CRAP out of me, fellas! ...Oh RIGHT! Um...introducing next...from the Mushroom Kingdom, weighing in at 401 lbs., he is one half of the FUSION Tag Team Champions..."The King of the Koopas"...BOWSER!" Cait Sith announced, holding his heart in shock.
"...You know...we talked about Gold not having a World Title in eight years...well Bowser has NOT WON ONE...PERIOD. No matter the company he was in, he never got a World Title. His only World Title shot in UCA was RUINED by Sonic, and he is NOT happy about it! Hell, that's what created this BEAST we see before us! Bowser is HELLBENT on one thing only...BECOMING A WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. And he will destroy ANYONE in his way to make that a reality. THAT is where Money in the Bank comes in." Church stated.
"Yeah, Money in the Bank practically GUARANTEES you'll become a World Champion, and in the hands of someone like BOWSER, it practically becomes CERTAINTY! And after everything Bowser has had to put up with, that is something I can get behind! I LOVE Mario as World Champion, but BOWSER'S TIME COULD BE NOW! How can ANYONE hope to stop him?! He's DESTRUCTION incarnate, and as his theme says, INDESTRUCTIBLE! And everyone...may be on borrowed time before he climbs up the ladder to Red glory!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Bowser's been apart of Final Clash a few times in the past few years, but none of them matter as much as this one does. He wants to win BAD...but he MAY have someone in his way." Church said.
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible
Master of war
Bowser shoulder his way through any ladders on the ramp, not wanting to waste time moving around him. He then got on the apron of the ring, and stepped over the ropes into them. And GLARED at everybody with bared teeth, silently promising destruction...but then he SNAPPED his head to the stage once a certain song played...
All I've ever wanted was destiny to be fulfilled
It is in my hands, I must not fail, I must not fail
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always
This fire burns always
("This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage)
The crowd gave out THUNDEROUS cheers to this music...and Sonic the Hedgehog came out onto the stage, black jacket about him with the hood over his head, just staring down everyone in the ring under it, ESPECIALLY Bowser. He then slowly took a knee on the stage, and pretty much checked the time, asking "What time is it?" before looking at the crowd and shouted with them "IT'S CLOBBERING TIIIIIMMMEEEE!" before standing up and throwing off his hood. He pumped his fist through the air...and then SPED off in a BLUE BLUR down the RAMP!
"Introducing next...representing the Sonic Heroes...from Station Square, Mobius, weighing in at 210 lbs..."The Blue Blur"...and if you know a lick about gaming, you KNOW him...SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!" Cait Sith announced.
"You know how we said Sonic ruined Bowser's World Title shot? Yeaaahhh, that's because Bowser ruined SONIC'S World Title shot and chance at payback on Mario at Royal Reckoning to get that World Title shot. And ever since then, Sonic has slowly gone a...change...and we have seen a darker Sonic that has been hellbent on one thing...VENGEANCE. On both Bowser AND Mario. He SUPPOSEDLY got it at Last Stand on Bowser...bu then failed to win the Chamber to get Mario's World Title. And Bowser didn't like the methods Sonic used to win...sooooo...yeah, this issue with Bowser has CONTINUED...and Sonic wants Money in the Bank to gain revenge in ONE FELL SWOOP. He's won this match before, LAST YEAR actually..." Church exclaimed.
"Yeah, and FAILED THE CASH-IN! THE ONLY PERSON IN UCA TO DO SO! Mario saw him coming, and made him pay the price! Money in the Bank is the reason he was out for SIX MONTHS with a broken leg! The ultimate dirtbag Blue would know HE SUCKS with this briefcase! And add in that Bowser DESTROYED HIM this past Monday, and WHAT CHANCE does Sonic have?! He should just give up being better than the Reds and some sort of vengeance streak, but he didn't...and it's gonna land him in DESPAIR VILLAGE!" Sarge exclaimed.
"I think Sonic would disagree...but Sonic has been in more Final Clashes than ANYBODY ELSE in this match. He was at the VERY FIRST ONE in 1990...main evented 1992...Iron Man with Shadow in 2007...last year with Money in the Bank...Sonic has a LONG history with Final Clash...will this next chapter be good or bad for him?" Church asked.
This is the proving ground
Misery begins to rise
Turn away from yesterday
Tomorrow's in my eyes, oh
Nevermore to be held down
By the wings of history
Nevermore to be cast aside
This day is mine
Sonic sped around the ring like crazy (mostly to show off more than anything) before he SKIDDED to a halt in front of the ramp and ring, and quickly entered the ring. He looked up at the briefcase, and held up two fingers for "Two times in a row..." before GLARING at Bowser...who simply SNEERED at Sonic...then Shinedown music played...
Take a good look at agony
Forced, dead, pass down
Time release
I'm inspired to find the lie
Blackless X on the back
Of a soulful man
I've got way's you understand
Look left, look right, but I'm
Behind you
I never noticed, until I focused
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head
("Sin With A Grin" by Shinedown)
The crowd gave out loud cheers more as the music played...but no one came out and they were CONFUSED...until someone pointed upward...and everyone looked up and saw Sly Cooper UP IN THE RAFTERS ABOVE NEAR THE TRON! The crowd POPPED in shock as Sly smirked and said "Hey...got to give everyone a show, right?" before twirling his cane...and he HOOKED it onto a wire, and SLID along a ZIPLINE DOWN TO THE RAMP AND RING FROM THE RAFTERS! The crowd LOVED IT as Sly even spun around the zipline with the cane a few times before he was lowered enough to drop off the zipline and land on top of a LADDER, crouched like a ninja before he pointed his cane towards the briefcase from atop the ladder!
"...Holy crap, that was awesome...OH RIGHT, ANNOUNCING! ON IT! Anyways...introducing next...representing the Sony Saints...from Paris, France, weighing in at 226 lbs...SLY COOPER!" Cait Sith announced.
"Well...nobody can say Sly can't come in with STYLE! If ANYBODY knows this match, it's THIS GUY!" Church called. "Sly was the FIRST-EVER WINNER of the UCA Money in the Bank Ladder Match in 2006, cashing in at Summer Brawl that year to become World Champion! And Sly comes back to this match to do it ALL OVER AGAIN! Sly and the Sony Saints have been down in the dumps lately career-wise, but Money in the Bank is something Sly know that changes it completely! This is Sly's ultimate attempt at a comeback, and with his experience he's got, he could wi-"
"NO! NO NO NO NO! NO DAMN DIRTY SAINTS! NO SONY SAINTS! THEY ARE AMONG THE WORST OF THE DIRTY BLUES!" Sarge vehemently denied. "He's the LAST PERSON in this match I want to win this match! I hate those Saints, and if they couldn't come back before, they can't make a comeback NOW! Sly won this match before...I can't deny that...but the Reds in this match will do EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE HIS DEFEAT IS POSSIBLE! His failure is IMMINENT! REDS! DESTROY THE SAINT! DESTROY HIM!" Sarge exclaimed.
"...Okaaaayyy then... Sly's very familiar with this event, his first one being in 2003, Money in the Bank in 2006 obviously...Final Clash is a familiar and successful time for Sly...and you know he wants to KEEP it that way." Church said.
Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside.
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
All them under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin
Sly Ninja Spired Jumped off the ladder onto one of the corners of the ring, before hopping off it into the ring. Once in the ring, he tipped his hat to everyone with a grin and said "Hey, how you doing? Ready to lose to me?" But then another song played...and the place went CRAZY for this one...
Can't you see the writing on the wall?
You're way in over your head
You're gonna drown in the things that you said
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
Your words are cheap, but lies are big to take
Time has come and gone for words
A thousand threats I've heard before
And all your words are too big to take
("No More Words" by EndeverafteR)
The crowd was going with a HUGE pop for this one...and Crash Bandicoot POPPED out from UNDER the stage, spinning in a twister as he did so and landed on the stage, still spinning. He kept at this for a few more moments before coming to a halt, practically dizzy and about to fall over from all the spinning. He came to his sense though, and then grinned MADLY at the ring before shouting "WHOOOAAAAA!" as the crowd did so with him as well before making his way down the ramp. When he reached the ladders, he walked under EACH ONE with no fear of bad luck, keeping that signature grin on his face at all times.
"Introducing next...from Wumpa Island...weighing in at 213 lbs...CRASH BANDICOOT!" Cait Sith announced.
"And here comes the CRAZED BANDICOOT HIMSELF! The ultimate extremist in this match, Crash Bandicoot! And NO ONE knows ladders better than THIS guy! Hell, I think Ladder Matches are his bread and butter at this point, he's got that advantage over EVERYBODY in this match. And add to the face he FINALLY wants to win the UCA World Title. He finally became a World Champion in NCW (where he was out for a LONG DAMN WHILE thanks to a House...), and he LOVED IT! He wants it again! And you know he'll sacrifice EVERYTHING to just win that briefcase!" Church said.
"NOPE! He may have pulled off the big one in NCW, but he is a CHOKER here! And he ALWAYS will be! Crash is probably going to kill himself anyway in this match, that's what he does best. Crash with Money in the Bank is a true nightmare! He can go back to NCW where he's a big boy, but here in UCA, I WANT TO SEE HIM DIE! DIE SO THAT THE REDS CAN STAND OVER HIS BROKEN CARCASS VICTORIOUS! ...And if they don't, then that just won't do. Not fair to us at all." Sarge stated.
"Crash has been part of many Final Clashes since his debut in 1996, and he's become a strong staple for this match in UCA. Is this the night he finally wins Money in the Bank? Nine other men probably say otherwise." Church said.
It's a paradox, A mystery, A riddle
A door in your face and only I have the key
to understand you'll be caught in the middle
Caught in a web being spun by me
Don't you see the writing on the wall (Don't you see the writing on the wall)
Just a victim of your own conceit
The architect of your own defeat
Time has come and gone for words
A thousands threats I've heard before
when words are cheap and lies are made to pay
Crash got onto the apron and hopped over the ropes into the ring, and looked up at the briefcase hungrily. He had a taste of World Title gold with the NCW World Title...he wanted to taste it AGAIN...he looked at the opponents...the ring was getting FILLED now...and it was about to get even MORE filled with THIS music...
I CAME TO PLAY!
I came to play
There's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray (I came to pay)
Say goodbye to the good old days
They're never coming back
Watch your future fade (I came to play)
I came to play to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it can't be saved (I came to play)
I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way
I came to play
("I Came To Play" by Downstait)
The crowd booed loudly at this music...but strangely enough, there were some cheers going around...and Toad came out onto the stage, and he was looking RAD tonight...because the red spots on his mushroom top were painted purple with barbed wire designs on them, he had black marks under his eyes, and the vest he wore was black with "E-C-F'N-W!" on the back. Some of the crowd loved this and chanted "E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!" as Toad glared at everybody in the ring. He was ready for WAR as he made his way down the ramp with a purpose, slapping a ladder of two he came down the ramp.
"Introducing next...from and representing the Mushroom Kingdom (what a weird way to say that)...weighing in at 194 lbs...TOAD! ...How can a Toad be extreme again, mates?" Cait Sith announced.
"Well...Toad's certainly rocking some more...extreme gear...tonight. A callback to his ECW days...and Toad, love him or hate him, is set on ONE THING ONLY...proving he's not a lackey. That he's more than that. Toad's been rising up slowly, but surely, and he's been...disgruntled...to say the least, and for reasons that we couldn't figure out..." Church said...almost sarcastically. "He just doesn't want to be a no-name lackey...not after everything he's done. And to him, Money in the Bank is the key to that! He wants to climb the ladder to grab the money...and use it to not just become a somebody rather than a lackey...but UCA World Heavyweight Champion! ...You know I wonder how MARIO feels about that?" Church questioned.
"I'm sure Toad was just saying that to fool everyone! OF COURSE he's doing this for Mario, he's a Red, and he's always loyal to the Reds! He knows his role, and he knows he's here to help the great Mario assure his status as World Champion! I am BEHIND TOAD for this great deed! I know he'll do the right thing here if he wins, he's just using ECW to help him towards this great goal! WHAT A TRUE FRIEND! Dammit Grif, BE MORE LIKE TOAD!" Sarge exclaimed.
"RIGHT...well, for Toad, this is his first Final Clash match...and to him, the most important he's EVER been in...and you heard him Monday, he's going EXTREME to go all the way." Church said.
Run away if you see me
Don't even say my name
Don't think that you can know me
Don't try and play that game
Every day that I get better
I watch as you get worse
My script is too the letter
And I'll write your final verse
I am here to stay (Well I'm here to stay)
And I have come to play
I came to play
Toad slid into the ring and he DEFIANTLY glared at everybody, shouting "You want to call me a lackey? Well get ready for this lackey to TAKE YOU ALL TO THE EXTREME!" Toad then looked up at the briefcase...his chance to make it to the top...there was only left...and his arrival was signaled by five little words...
"You think you know me?"
"And here comes the LAST ONE...and he may be more volatile then anyone else here combined." Church said.
The crowd gave out HUGE HEAT as the music played, and the fog and smoke came out covering the stage...until the music STOPPED for a second...then KICKED IN...
On this day I see clearly
Everything has come to life
Better place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day its so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
("Metalingus" by Alter Bridge)
Scourge the Hedgehog BURST through the smoke, wearing a tattered black trench coat with flames on the sleeves and ends of it as he pushed the smoke away, a wild look in his eyes. The crowd booed his ass to hell, but he didn't care, his mind only wanted one thing...Money in the Bank. No cocky swagger as P&G was fresh on his mind, and he wanted what was HIS... He made his way down the ramp before stopping...spreads his legs out...and threw up the devil horns as green pyro EXPLODED from everywhere on the stage in a huge show. He held up the devil horns and pyro for about twenty seconds before throwing them down and making his way down the ramp with EVIL INTENTIONS in mind.
"And the final participant...from Moebius...weighing in at 225 lbs...the self-proclaimed "King of the World"...SCOURGE THE HEDGEHOG!" Cait Sith announced.
"Scourge the Hedgehog is coming off Pride & Glory...where he came within a MICROSECOND of running off with the Toon Championship thanks to what happened to Charlie Brown...only for Tommy Oliver to stop him at the last second...and THAT has unleashed a VICIOUS and damn near dark side in Scourge. The Rumble, the Chamber, now P&G...Scourge has become SICK of losing these big matches, of being ridiculed, of so much...and he's coming in bitter and vicious...he wants ONE THING...Money in the Bank. The self-proclaimed King wants his THRONE...and he'll do ANYTHING to get it at this point." Church said.
"And he may just get it! Tommy Oliver done goofed when he did what he did at P&G, because with how Scourge has been since then, none of the men in this match are safe! He may very well tear them apart, he is on a MISSION! Scourge knows this match so well, he won it in 2008! He can do it again! Ladder, TLC, King of the Mountain...Scourge has won all those matches, he can damn well wield a ladder! And I HAVE FAITH THAT SCOURGE IS LEADING RED WHO CAN TAKE ONE FOR US! ALL HAIL THE KING!" Sarge exclaimed.
"His first Final Clash in 2005 as Evil/Anti Sonic...main event in 2007, and Money in the Bank in 2008...Final Clash is no stranger to this hog, and he wants to make this his biggest yet." Church stated.
I've been defeated and brought down
Dropped to my knees when hope ran out
The time has come to change my ways
On this day I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind
Scourge made his way to the ring and slid into it with a scowl on his face before standing up. He stared at everyone angrily before taking off his coat and shades and throwing them to the side as he got anxious to start. EVERYONE in this match was raring to go...this match meant a LOT to each of them...
"All ten of these men...they want Money in the Bank SO BAD, each for their own reasons. Three of these men have won it before...will one of them do it again? Or will we have a first-ever winner of it? ANYTHING can happen in this match, it's SO DANGEROUS..." Church said.
They all looked up at the briefcase...the briefcase that guaranteed EVERYTHING they wanted out of it and more. The case that would give them ultimate power in UCA...and slowly but surely they all turned their attention to each other...glares directed at everybody they could see. There could only be ONE winner...and once it was determined they were all ready...
...the bell was RANG! Final Clash had officially begun, along with Money in the Bank!
"AND HERE WE GO! THE OPENER TO FINAL CLASH, MONEY IN THE BANK! AND LET THE CARNAGE BEGIN!" Church shouted.
And ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE AT THE START! Everybody went AFTER each other and fighting erupted everywhere...save for SCOURGE who slid out of the ring and tried to go for a ladder! But SLY was sneaky as well and caught Scourge in the back of the head with a Forearm! He then slammed his head into a set-up ladder before throwing him into the barricade! Sly nodded and walked towards the ring ONLY TO GET OVER-THE-TOP SUICIDE DIVE FROM CRASH! Crash stood up and got back on the apron and BIG BOOT FROM NARUTO KNOCKS HIM OFF THE APRON! Naruto nodded and turned around into a BRUTAL Lariat form Bowser! Bowser turned around and CAUGHT a Diving attempt from Toad and THREW him over the ropes before catching Takuya and nailing a Running Powerslam off him! Bowser stood up and snarled but got a CHAIR SHOT TO THE SKULL from Sonic, who brought in the weapons early! Bowser stumbled back into the ropes and Running Dropkick to the skull with the chair, sends him out of the ring! Sonic stood up and glared but got turned around and IMPALER DDT FROM A RECOVERED TAKUYA! Takuya held his back, but when he turned around GOLD CUTTER-BLOCKED! Takuya pushed Gold away, who bounced off the ropes, and DUCKED a Clothesline, and nailed a Neckbreaker Slam!
"And Gold manages to catch Takuya with that Neckbreaker! The action is fast and furious here, everyone's after everybody!" Church stated.
"Chaos is the name of the game, and Money in the Bank ALWAYS starts out this way! All about coming out on top at the start!" Sarge said.
Cage and Naruto traded fists outside the ring, but Naruto was starting to get the upper hand, but Cage suddenly threw Naruto RIGHT into the barricade, followed by a knee to the gut! He then lifted up Naruto for an early Caged Fury but Naruto slipped out behind Cage and CAGE GOT A DIVING DOUBLE KNEE DROP FROM THE APRON FROM TOAD! Toad rolled onto his feet and GOT A FLAPJACK ONTO THE BARRICADE FROM NARUTO! Naruto stood up and grabbed Toad from behind, and went for a German, but Toad backflipped out of it, and Naruto stood up and ran, but Toad ducked and BIG BOOT from Scourge out of nowhere! Toad tried for a Jumping DDT, but Scourge held on and DROPPED HIM GROIN FIRST into the barricade! Toad GRIMACED in pure pain and got Clotheslined off the barricade by Scourge! Scourge slid into the ring as Gold quickly clotheslined Takuya out of the ring, and Gold held up the Diamond Cutter gesture ONLY TO GET A HALF-NELSON BULLDOG FROM SCOURGE!
"And Scourge just DROPS Gold with that Half-Nelson Bulldog! Scourge taking CONTROL here!" Church said.
"Scourge said he would do whatever it takes to get back his throne, and he MEANS IT!" Sarge stated.
Scourge stood up, and looked up at the briefcase, being the only one in the ring BUT NINJA SPIRE KICK FROM SCOURGE BEGGED TO DIFFER! Scourge held his face and rolled out of the ring, where Sonic and Bowser were STILL brawling! Sonic was nailing furious fists to Bowser's skull, but Bowser caught one, and nailed a vicious headbutt to the skull, by a furious throwing into the steel steps! Sonic held his head, and SLY WENT FOR A CROSSBODY PLANCHA...BUT GOT CAUGHT BY BOWSER AND THROWN HEAD-FIRST INTO THE STEEL POST! Bowser growled before yanking Sonic up, holding him up in a Military Press AND SPLIT-LEGGED NUT PUNCH! Bowser dropped Sonic as his eyes widened, holding his NUTS in pain! Cage smirked in arrogance BUT GOT A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD FROM SONIC! Eventually, nine of the competitors had found themselves outside the ring, and were BRAWLING with each other like crazy...
...where they DIDN'T NOTICE CRASH CLIMBING A CORNER...
...
...WHO NAILED A CRASH AND BURN OFF OF IT AND ONTO EVERYBODY! EVERYONE WAS DOWN!
"AND THERE'S A CRASH AND BURN FOR YA! EVERYBODY'S DOWN! CRASH TAKING OUT EVERYBODY LIKE LAST MONDAY!" Church stated.
"DAMMIT, I HATE IT WHEN HE DOES THAT! STOP JUMPING OFF SO MANY THINGS, YOU DAMN BANDICOOT!" Sarge shouted.
The crowd EXPLODED into cheers as everyone was writhing on the ground...until Crash rolled off of them and stumbled to his feet. He grabbed a ladder and folded it up before sliding it into the ring, and he did the same as well. He began setting up the ladder until he got nailed by Naruto, causing him to drop the ladder, and Naruto nailed a few rights, but Crash fought back with a few elbows, stunning Naruto before he Springboard off the ropes...
...AND GOT A LADDER THROWN INTO HIS FACE BY NARUTO!
"OOOOHHH, and Crash just ATE the ladder to the face off that Springboard! There's our first use of the ladder for the night!" Church said.
"I will say this...THANK YOU NARUTO FOR DOING THAT! ...Now go get your ass kicked by a good Red." Sarge stated.
Crash fell to the mat and rolled out of the ring holding his face, and Naruto looked to grab the ladder but GOT GRABBED from behind by Takuya, but managed to throw him over! Takuya rolled onto his feet and GOT LIFTED INTO A FIREMAN'S CARRY, but Takuya slipped out and DIGi-BLAZE FACE-FIRST ON THE LADDER! Naruto was out as Takuya pulled up the ladder and set it up in the ring...began to climb it...
...AND TOAD WITH THE SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO SEND TAKUYA OFF THE LADDER! Toad got up and DUCKED a CLOTHESLINE from Cage, kicked his knee out from under him, and MUSHROOM DDT (Kneeling DDT)! Cage rolls out of the ring and right next to Naruto and Takuya on the outside...and Toad looked at the ladder...
"And the great Red under Mario took out everybody! Toad FULLY has my support...and I think I like the way he's thinking..." Sarge said.
Toad TRULY began to feel extreme like he did back in ECW...so he folded the ladder and leaned it onto the ropes like a rampway, before backing up...taking a deep breath...
...RAN UP THE ROPE-LEANED LADDER...
...
...AND JUMPED OFF OF IT FOR A CORKSCREW CROSSBODY ONTO NARUTO, TAKUYA, AND CAGE!
"And you are right as he NAILS THE CORKSCREW CROSSBODY OFF THAT LADDER ONTO NARUTO, TAKUYA, AND CAGE! How's THAT for extreme?!" Church stated.
All four were laid out on the outside...and Scourge slid into the ring with another ladder and set it up in the ring! He tried to climb, but SLY grabbed his leg and pulled him down, but Scourge nailed a kick to the gut, AND VICIOUSLY PULLED THE LADDER DOWN ONTO SLY'S SKULL! Sly held his head in pain as Scourge picked up the ladder and shouted "I AM NOT BEING SCREWED OUT OF THIS AGAIN! NO WAY!" before JABBING the ladder into Sly repeatedly before leaning it against the corner. Scourge nodded before he picked up Sly and Irish Whipped him to the ladder...
...but Sly LEAPED and latched onto the ladder to an impressed awe from the crowd, and earned a pissed off glare from Scourge, who RAN...
...
...AND GOT THE LADDER MONKEY-FLIPPED INTO HIM BY SLY!
"WHAT THE HELL?! What was THAT?! That does not make sense, it DOESN'T make sense! It had to be a TRICK!" Sarge stated.
"Sarge, it happened before your eyes, we all saw it, shut up! Sly just MONKEY FLIPPED the damn ladder into Scourge, that's new!" Church said.
The crowd popped for that innovate maneuver, chanting "THAT WAS COOL! THAT WAS COOL!" and Sly stood up, and winked at the crowd with a grin...
...but suddenly got planted from behind with a Johto Journey! Gold stood up and saw the ladder...and got an idea so CRAZY, it JUST might work! He picked up the ladder...
...and then PLACED the ladder on his head, fitting it between the rungs!
"...What the hell is Gold doing?" Church questioned.
"Probably being a dirtbag. I know being a dirtbag is pretty common these days among Blues." Sarge said.
Gold shouted "HEY GUYS! WATCH ME, THIS'LL BE FUN!" as Sly stumbled up...and Gold spun with the ladder, NAILING SLY IN THE HEAD WITH IT! Scourge stumbled to his feet AND GOT THE LADDER TO THE FACE! And Gold began spinning like a HELICOPTER with the ladder, nailing ANYBODY that got into the ring with it, from Cage, to Naruto, to Takuya, to Crash, to ANYBODY that got in the ring! SIX OF THEM got nailed with the ladder! The crowd CHEERED loudly for the classic Ladder move as Gold pulled it off his head, having swirly eyes from being dizzy and said "Told you it would be fun..."
"And Gold just took out a LOAD OF ENEMIES with an old ladder trick! Gold like a whirly bird to stand tall here over jackasses and heroes!" Church said.
...
...JUST BEFORE BOWSER FINALLY CAME IN AND BIG BOOTED THE LADDER INTO GOLD!
"And Bowser just BOOTED GOLD TO HELL WHERE HE BELONGS! Nice job, Bowser! Make sure the dirtbags become DIRT!" Sarge cheered.
Gold was laid out with the ladder on top of him, and Bowser SNARLED before turning and CATCHING TOAD in his hands! Toad tried to get out to no avail as he got lifted into a Military Press AND THROWN ONTO THE LADDER GOLD WAS UNDER, CRUSHING THE TRAINER UNDERNEATH!
"Oooohhh...THERE'S a sandwich for ya...this match is slowly getting more crazy by the mi-Hey, what's Sly doing?" Church asked.
Meanwhile, outside the ring, Sly had set up a ladder bridge, putting the ends on the barricade and a side of the ring! Sly grinned at his work before picking up Crash near the ring and then Irish Whipped him towards the ladder, but Crash SLID under the ladder bridge, coming out unharmed! Sly was stunned, and said "Well should have seen that coming" and walked over to the ladder bridge AND GOT A CHAIR BEANED AT HIS SKULL! The same one used by Sonic earlier! Sly was out on his feet...
...as Crash pulled himself onto the ladder bridge...
...
...AND NAILED A DIVING TORNADO DDT OFF OF IT ONTO SLY!
"HAHAHA! Take THAT, Sly, you damn Saint! ...But wait, Crash did it...DAMMIT, I DON'T WIN EITHER WAY!" Sarge growled. "Stupid Tornado DDT off the bridge..."
Crash stood up and shouted "WHOOAAA!" in excitement before getting on the apron and IS UPPERCUTTED BY BOWSER! Bowser had been DOMINATING in the ring, and Crash was just NEXT! But Naruto took the chance to nail a NINJA KICK to the back of Bowser's skull! From that, Naruto LIFTED BOWSER ONTO HIS SHOULDERS...
...
...but the weight was TOO MUCH as Naruto fell forward and got CRUSHED by Bowser! Bowser stood up and SAMOAN DROPPED AN INCOMING TOAD ONTO NARUTO! Bowser then stood up and SPEARED GOLD OUT OF HIS BOOTS! Bowser stood to his feet and ROARED to the sky, certifying his dominance...
"And Bowser just DOMINATING HERE! This is what EVERYONE was afraid of with this guy..." Church said.
...
...and was too late SEEING SONIC SPRINGBOARD WITH A LADDER IN HAND, DROPKICKING IT INTO HIS FACE! Bowser fell to a knee, and Sonic lifted up the ladder and ran DRIVING THE LADDER INTO BOWSER'S FACE!
"...and THAT'S WHAT BOWSER HAS TO CONTEND WITH! Sonic taking down Bowser out of NOWHERE! Vengeance is on the mind!" Church said.
Bowser stumbled backwards into a corner and Sonic placed the ladder in front of Bowser. He then walked over to the adjacent corner and ran AND GOT THE LADDER THROWN INTO HIS FACE BY BOWSER! Sonic was laid out, and Bowser growled, tired of Sonic and wanting him out of the way...so he yanked Sonic up and LIFTED HIM...
...
...AND THREW HIM OVER THE ROPES AND STOMACH-FIRST ONTO THE LADDER BRIDGE! The ladder did NOT give as Sonic bounced off the ladder and to the ground motionless!
"And THAT'S what Sonic gets for being a SORE BLUE LOSER! PAAAAIIINNN! As if that was a surprise...now where's a ladder, we need a Red to win now." Sarge said.
Bowser snorted out some flames before turning around and GOT A LADDER SLAMMED INTO HIM BY CAGE AND GOLD! Bowser fell against the ropes and ANOTHER SLAM from the ladder sends Bowser over them! The two admired their work...then their partnership ended as Cage tossed his end of the ladder to Gold, who caught it AND SHADOW KICKS IT INTO GOLD! Gold fell down and rolled out of the ring, and Cage quickly grabbed a ladder and set it up under the briefcase. He climbed up to the top, and reached for it...
...and Naruto quickly climbed up the other side and nailed Cage with a right, stopping him! Cage was stunned and Naruto reached for it, but Cage caught him with a right as well! The two traded blows on top of the ladder, trying to fight for DOMINANCE!
"And our first REAL attempts at grabbing the briefcase between Cage and Naruto! Both of them FIGHTING to try and get that briefcase!" Church said.
"COME ON CAGE! Knock that dirty Blue off the ladder, I want to hear him fall HARD!" Sarge stated.
...
...and neither of them noticed TAKUYA AS HE PUSHED THE LADDER OVER, AND THE TWO FELL OFF AND CRASHED ONTO THE ROPES!
"And TAKUYA TAKES THEM BOTH OUT!" Church exclaimed. "NARUTO AND CAGE crashed HARD on the ropes!
"Dammit, Takuya, you took out CAGE! ...But you also took out Naruto, so good job, my proud Red!" Sarge saluted.
Takuya wasted little time pulling the ladder back up and CLIMBED UP AS QUICKLY as he COULD to the top...REACHED FOR THE BRIEFCASE...but SCOURGE CLIMBED UP FROM BEHIND, AND CLUBBED HIM FROM BEHIND! Scourge tried to reach the briefcase, but Takuya elbowed him, and the two began to brawl with each other on that side of the ladder! But as they brawled, they didn't notice Toad setting up a ladder next to theirs! Toad climbed up the ladder as Scourge wrapped his arms around Takuya's waist and tried to pull him off the ladder to no avail! Toad reached for the briefcase but it was JUST out of his reach! Toad scowled...but saw Scourge and Takuya...and decided to take THEM out to make it easier...
...
...and FLIPPED OVER THE LADDERS AND GRABBED SCOURGE...
...who in turn PULLED TAKUYA OFF THE LADDER...
...
...
...SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB/GERMAN SUPLEX TOWER OF DOOM FROM THE LADDER CONNECTS!
"HOLY SHIT! Did you SEE THAT?! DID YOU?! That had to be one of the most INSANE Towers of Doom I've ever SEEN! And all off the damn ladder!" Church stated.
"Yeah, it was cool, BUT IT HAPPENED TO THE REDS! Dammit, Toad, why couldn't you have waited for Gold or Sly try to get up, so you could do it to them?! Oh it breaks my heart to see the Reds kill each other..." Sarge shook his head.
The crowd POPPED for that, chanting "THAT WAS AWESOME!" as Toad slowly stood up, holding his tailbone, before pushing over one of the ladders and readjusting one of the remaining ones! He then began to climb it TOWARDS THE TOP...
...
...he REACHED FOR THE CASE...
"Toad...! Toad's REACHING FOR the CASE!" Church said.
...
...
...HE GRABBED I-SLY HOOKED HIS CANE AROUND THE EDGE OF THE LADDER AND SWUNG AROUND THE LADDER AND UP IT, DROPKICKING TOAD OFF THE LADDER, AND LANDING ON HIS RUNG AS A RESULT!
"He's GO-WHAT THE F*CK?! WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE FLYING F*CK?!" Church exclaimed in PURE SHOCK.
"WHAT DID HE JUST DO?! I REPEAT, WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE REDS DID THAT DIRTBAG JUST DO?!" Sarge questioned.
"I DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT I THINK THAT DAMN COON JUST USED HIS CANE TO SWING AROUND THE LADDER AND ONTO TOAD'S SIDE OF IT, KNOCKING TOAD OFF OF IT! I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DID, BUT HE DID, HOLY F*CK!" Church exclaimed.
The crowd went BONKERS over that move in disbelief, chanting "HOW'D YOU DO THAT?! HOW'D YOU DO THAT?!" Sly chuckled, and said "Simple...I'm a master thief." The coon winked before he reached for the case...
...
...
...he GRABBED IT...
...
...
...BEGAN UNHOOKING IT...
"NO NO NO! NOT THE DAMN SAINT! Anyone but HIM!" Church stated.
...
...
...AND CRASH NAILED HIM WITH A RIGHT, HAVING CLIMBED UP THE LADDER IN THE NICK OF TIME!
"And CRASH makes the save! The two rivals from 2010 duking it out on the ladder!" Church stated.
"DAMMIT, why couldn't it have been JOHNNY CAGE?! Give me someone I LIKE!" Sarge exclaimed.
Sly was STUNNED as Crash began nailing him with furious rights, trying to knock him off, BUT GOT A CANE TO THE SKULL FROM SLY! Crash was dazed and got ANOTHER SHOT to the skull! He dropped down a few rungs after that, and Sly reached for the case again...
...
...
...
...
...AND SLY GOT A SPRINGBOARD SONIC BOOM (Zig-Zag) FROM SONIC OUT OF NOWHERE, CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT!
"And SONIC taking down SLY! Springboard Sonic Boom just DROPS HIM down to the MAT! This match is getting INSANE right now!" Church stated.
Sly was LAID OUT...and Crash was all alone up the ladder...so he looked to climb up the ladder...
...
...
...or would have if not for a SPRINGBOARD FLARE BLITZ FROM TAKUYA, THE KNEE STRIKING THE JAW AND SENDING CRASH OFF THE LADDER!
"OH YEAH! FLARE BLITZ! That's what you get for trying to win, Crash! YOU GET YOUR JAW JACKED! Now Takuya, QUICK CLIMB! CLIMB FOR YOUR LIFE!" Sarge shouted.
Takuya was STILL hurting from the Tower of Doom, but he gave no damns as he was climbing the ladder once more and reached the top AND GRABBED THE CASE...
...
...
...
...but SONIC had climbed the ladder and nailed an ELBOW SMASH to Takuya! Sonic nailed a few more Elbow Smashes to the face, causing Takuya to drop down a bit before REACHING for the case...
...
...and GOT A RAKE TO THE EYES FROM TAKUYA! Takuya reached for the case, and the hedgehog fired back with a shot of his own, and the two were brawling...not noticed a ladder bridge being under Takuya, the ladder on top of the ropes and in between the rungs below Takuya.
"Sonic and Takuya fighting on top of the ladder, but wait a sec, there's a ladder bridge being made under Takuya! And NEITHER noticed!" Church stated.
"SOMEONE'S making that ladder bridge, and I demand to know WHO! Better be a RED! Or I'm gonna get out my SHOTGUN..." Sarge threatened.
Takuya nailed a hard right to Sonic, but Sonic retaliated with a headbutt by a slam into the top of the ladder! Sonic reached once more and GOT A BRIEFCASE PUSHED INTO HIS SKULL! Sonic was dazed and GOT PUSHED off the ladder by Takuya and onto the mat below! Takuya panted before reaching for the briefcase...
"Sonic's OFF the ladder! Takuya all alone with the BRIEFCASE...!" Church stated.
...
...
...but got PULLED AWAY from it onto the ladder bridge by JOHNNY CAGE...
...
...
...
...
...WHO GAVE HIM THE YOU GOT CAGED OFF THE LADDER BRIDGE TO THE MAT BELOW!
"AND TAKUYA JUST GOT CAGED BY JOHNNY CAGE! Takuya paid the PRICE for not noticing the ladder bridge earlier!" Church stated.
"DAMMIT CAGE... Takuya...he was such a proud Red...why...just why? Oh this is so hard to watch..." Sarge sniffled.
Takuya was laid out and Cage stood up, shouting at Takuya "YOU GOT CAGED!" before turning around RIGHT INTO A CHOKESLAM TO THE MAT FROM BOWSER! Bowser snarled down at Cage before he CAUGHT SLY AND GAVE HIM A CHOKESLAM AS WELL! Bowser was the ONLY ONE standing...and he looked at the ladder (all while a ladder was being leaned against a corner, but that's not important)...
"And Bowser BACK IN CONTROL! The ONLY ONE in the ring...and...oh boy...he's gotta climb a LADDER NOW...can that thing even hold his WEIGHT?!" Church questioned.
"Uuuummmm...I'll get back to you on that, but I know he can do it, I know it! ...Force, you better have bought the sturdiest ladders for this!" Sarge said.
Bowser went over to the ladder...grasped it...took a deep breath...and placed a foot on the bottom rung...then CLIMBED TO THE NEXT RUNG! The ladder CREAKED...
...but managed to HOLD, and Bowser NODDED before climbing ANOTHER rung, and it HELD (perhaps just BARELY though)...then ANOTHER RUNG...and ANOTHER RUNG...Bowser was SLOWLY BUT SURELY climbing the ladder...
"And Bowser's ACTUALLY CLIMBING THE LADDER... I don't know HOW...but the ladder's managing BARELY to stay standing for Bowser...!" Church exclaimed.
"COME ON LADDER! STAY STRONG! STAY STEADFAST! STAY STANDING...FOR REDKIND! YOU WILL GET A MEDAL FOR THIS!" Sarge stated.
...
...and REACHED THE TOP, and that ladder was WOBBLING like CRAZY, looking like it was BARELY holding Bowser's weight! But Bowser stood near the top...
...
...
...GRABBED THE BRIEFCASE...
...
...
...UNHOOKED THE CLASP...
"BOWSER! BOWSER'S UNHOOKING IT...! BOWSER'S ALMOST GOT IT...!" Church questioned.
...
...
...
...AND NARUTO SLAMS A STEEL CHAIR INTO BOWSER'S BACK! THE SAME CHAIR SONIC INTRODUCED AT THE START OF THE MATCH!
"AND NARUTO IN WITH THE CHAIR! I think that's the same chair Sonic brought in at the start on Bowser, and the one Crash used earlier! Bowser feeling it AGAIN!" Church exclaimed.
"DAMMIT NARUTO! Why can't you let the Reds win just once?! JUST ONCE?! You're SUCH a dirty Blue!" Sarge groaned.
Bowser GROANED in pain...but STILL tried to pull down the case...so Naruto SLAMMED IT ONTO BOWSER AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! Naruto was RELENTLESS with the chair, crashing it into Bowser over and over...and Bowser EVENTUALLY LET GO of the case...and was SLOWLY brought down the ladder, with the repeated chair shots until he was down on the ground! Naruto was STILL slamming the chair into Bowser furiously...
"Naruto actually BRINGING the monster back down to GROUND LEVEL! Naruto WAILING on Bowser..." Church called.
...BUT BOWSER STILL THROTTLED NARUTO BY THE THROAT, MORE ANGRY THAN IN PAIN FROM THOSE SHOTS! Bowser was DONE PLAYING and lifted up Naruto-NARUTO SLAMMED THE CHAIR AS HARD AS HE COULD INTO BOWSER'S SKULL WHEN LIFTED! And THAT caused Bowser to drop Naruto...
"STEEL CHAIR OFF BOWSER'S SKULL! Bowser's OUT OF IT!" Church exclaimed.
"HEY! No using that steel chair, dirtbag! WHAT DID I SAY?!" Sarge questioned.
...
...when he was LIFTED ONTO NARUTO'S SHOULDER AGAIN...
...
...
...AND WITH ALL OF NARUTO'S MIGHT, GIVEN THE NINJA'S WAY (Attitude Adjustment/F-U), NARUTO'S ACW FINISHER!
"OH SON OF A BITCH! NINJA'S WAY! NINJA'S F*CKIN' WAY! NARUTO ACTUALLY F*CKIN' DID IT! I DON'T KNOW HOW HE PULLED IT, BUT HE GOT BOWSER ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HIT IT! HE FINALLY HIT IT ON BOWSER!" Church stated.
"AAAAHHH, WHAT THE HELL?! WHEN DID YOU BECOME SUPER NARUTO?! THAT'S THE BIGGEST LOAD OF CRAP I SEE! WE DON'T NEED THAT ULTIMATE BLUE, CENA, IN YOU! GET THE CENA OUT OF HIM!" Sarge shouted.
The crowd cheered, actually IMPRESSED with that move (Naruto wasn't John Cena in terms of physical strength), and Naruto stood up, dazed from using so much strength he didn't even know he HAD, and exclaimed. "...KNEW I would do it...BELIEV-"
SCOURGE RUNS IN AND SPEARS NARUTO THROUGH A LADDER LEANED AGAINST THE CORNER!
"OH SHIT! SCOURGE! SPEAR! SPEAR THROUGH A LEANED LADDER BY SCOURGE! THAT SNEAKY SOB SET IT UP EARLIER AND BIDED HIS TIME!" Church shouted.
"AND THAT'S THE GREATNESS OF THE KING! GOOD JOB AVENGING BOWSER, SCOURGE! Reds ALWAYS come through with each other! You all make me so proud..." Sarge stated.
Naruto was motionless in the ladder debris in the corner, and Scourge stood up with a glare and shouted "NOW YOU BELIEVE TO HAIL TO THE KING!" before turning around and got a KICK TO THE GUT FROM GOLD AND GOLDEN DREAM DD-Scourge spun out of it and pulled Gold in for RAGING SCOU-Gold spun out of it himself and GOLD CUTTER-DENIED! Scourge pushed Gold away who turned around RIGHT INTO A SPEAR HIMSELF! Gold was laid out as Scourge got up and DODGED a Homing Attack attempt from Sonic! The hedgehog turned around AND GOT SPEARED FOR HIS TROUBLES! Scourge stood up AND CAUGHT A SPRINGBOARDING TOAD WITH A SPEAR IN MID-AIR AS WELL! FOUR SPEARS IN THE SPAN OF A MINUTE!
"SPEARS! SPEARS! SPEARS EVERYWHERE BY SCOURGE! Scourge is a SPEARING MACHINE right now, and he is in a FRENZY! He looks UNSTOPPABLE!" Church said.
"Scourge wants his throne back SO BADLY, he does NOT want to fail again! You're seeing the side of Scourge that you WISH you never saw! This is a King HELLBENT on VICTORY!" Sarge shouted.
Scourge slammed his palms wildly onto the minute before standing up with a dangerous look in his eye before went over to the ladder structure and began climbing one end of it like a man on a mission! He wasted no time in reaching the top...REACHED for the briefcase...
...
...
...
...GOT HOLD OF IT...
"Scourge's GOT IT! Scourge has the briefcase!" Church shouted.
...
...
...UNHOOKED IT...
...
...
...BEGAN PULLING IT DOWN...
"He's about to pull it down! YES YES YES!" Sarge cheered.
...
...
...
...
...AND SLY COOPER QUICKLY PULLED HIMSELF ONTO THE LADDER BRIDGE AND THREW HIS HAT INTO SCOURGE'S FACE, STUNNING HIM!
"And Sly comes in THROWING HIS HAT?!" Church questioned. "Not the...most CONVENTIONAL way of stopping someone..."
"You damn Saint, we don't want your hats, those hats died in style in the 2000s when I came in with MY helmets!" Sarge stated.
"...Sarge, aren't our helmets just standard Halo helmets that Chief rocks better than us?" Church questioned in a deadpan tone.
"Shut up, dirtbag, no one cares what you say!" Sarge said.
Scourge, surprised by such a move, pulled the hat off his face and was met with a RIGHT from Sly! Scourge retaliated with a right of his own, and the two traded some blows but Scourge SLAMMED the case into Sly's skull, stunning him...and tried to pull the case down AGAIN...but Sly GRABBED Scourge and SLOWLY pulled him OVER the ladder and onto the ladder bridge! Scourge broke free and struck Sly, and the two animals traded blows with each other...
...until they felt the ladder move under them, nearly causing them to lose their balance on the bridge! They turned and their eyes widened as CRASH HAD THE LADDER UNDER HIM, PULLING IT OFF THE LADDER RUNG! CRASH WAS NOW HOLDING UP THE LADDER HIMSELF!
"OOOOOOOOHHH NO...that...that's the LAST PERSON you want having you in THAT position..." Church stated.
"DON'T you dare... I could care less about Sly, but SCOURGE... Don't you DARE, you damn bandicoot! If you do, you will bring down the wrath of THUNDER on you!" Sarge shouted.
Sly and Scourge stood still, knowing the WRONG MOVE would cause Crash to send them to their doom, and they PLEADED for the bandicoot to NOT do anything rash! But the Bandicoot just GRINNED and shouted one word at them...
...
...
...
"...PANCAKES!"
Crash then proceeded to rush forward and THROW THE LADDER OVER THE ROPES, DUMPING IT, SLY, AND SCOURGE DOWN TO THE FLOOR BELOW WITH A SPLAT!
"AND CRASH SENDS BOTH SLY AND SCOURGE ON A RIDE THEY NEVER WANTED TO GO ON! Jesus, did you see the way they landed?! It was NASTY!" Church stated.
"YOU DAMN BANDICOOT! How dare you do that to Scourge! I BLAME CORTEX FOR ALLOWING YOU TO EVEN EXIST TO CAUSE THIS!" Sarge shouted.
The Bandicoot looked down at the carnage as the crowd chanted "CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!" and Crash wasted no time in climbing up the ladder as fast as he could! He eventually reached the top...
"Crash going for it! Crash going for the briefcase, he's all alone in there!" Church shouted.
...
...
...reached and GRABBED the briefcase...
...
...
...unhooked the clasp...
...
...
...
...BEGAN PULLING IT OUT...
"CRAP! SOMEONE STOP HIM! We can't have HIM winning this match! NO!" Sarge shouted.
...
...
...
...
...AND PULLED IT D-GOLD GRABBED THE LEG OF CRASH AND BEGAN PULLING HIM DOWN THE RUNGS! Crash was STUNNED as Gold PULLED him off the ladder and CRASH DROPKICKED HIM IN MID-AIR AS HE WAS PULLED DOWN!
"And GOLD'S the one stopping him, but Crash CAUGHT HIM WITH THE DROPKICK ANYWAY! NOT the result Gold wanted." Church stated.
"Okay, you two, here's what you need to do! KILL EACH OTHER, then let a Red climb up the ladder and win! That's good for me!" Sarge stated.
Gold stumbled up to his feet off the Dropkick, and got hooked up AND PLANTED WITH AN AFTERSHOCK! Gold writhed on the mat, and Crash decided he wanted Gold to stay down permanently, so he picked up a ladder and set it up near a corner! Once set up, he began climbing up it...
...
...but Gold STOOD UP and grabbed onto Crash and pulled him off the ladder! Gold tried for the Golden Dream DDT, but Crash spun out of it, and kick to the gut and WUMPA TWI-GOLD PUSHED CRASH AWAY! Crash bounced off the ropes and came back for a Front Dropkick BUT GOLD CAUGHT THE LEGS! Crash fell down as Gold had a hold of them and positioned himself...before falling backwards...
...
...
...and LAUNCHED Crash towards the ladder in the corner! But Crash LANDED on the ladder and climbed up it a bit, unbeknownst to Gold! Gold stood up...and Crash twisted off it and dived towards Gold...
...
...
...
...AND GOT CAUGHT WITH A GOLD CUTTER! GOLD NAILS CRASH WITH A GOLD CUTTER IN MID-AIR!
"GOLD CUTTER! OUT OF FREAKIN' NOWHERE! CRASH DIVED RIGHT INTO IT! GOLD DOES IT AGAIN!" Church shouted.
"DAMMIT, I HATE THAT DAMN CUTTER OF HIS! WHY CAN'T IT BE OBVIOUS TO SEE COMING AND REVERSE FOR PAIN?!" Sarge questioned.
Crash was laid out after the move, and Gold held up the Diamond Cutter gesture, with the crowd following suit before he went over to the ladder in the middle of the ring, and began climbing it slowly but surely! He was SORE...but the allure of his FOURTH WORLD TITLE was too much...
...
...he reached the top...
"Gold up on top! Gold's up there, the case right above him...!" Church stated.
...
...
...he reached for the case...
...
...
...GRABBED IT...
"Dammit, he's got a hold of the case! SOMEONE SAVE US FROM THIS!" Sarge shouted.
...
...
...
...SONIC RAN IN AND PUSH THE LADDER OVER, CAUSING GOLD TO FALL OFF IT AND LAND FACE-FIRST ON THE LADDER AND DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SPLAT!
"OH, THERE'S A SAVE FOR YA! Sonic pushing the ladder over, and Gold CRASHING in the worst way possible!" Church exclaimed.
"Okay, I enjoyed that, but did it HAVE to be Sonic?! Seriously, what's with all these damn Blues?!" Sarge questioned.
Gold was down and out as Sonic quickly folded up the ladder, picking it up as he RAMMED IT INTO SLY ON THE APRON! He then NAILED SCOURGE ON THE APRON WITH IT! Followed by CRASH who was trying to get up! Sonic was trying to take out EVERYONE here, he turned around...just as Takuya and Toad got into the ring and ran at him from behind...
"Sonic's nailing EVERYBODY with the ladder, trying to make sure no one stops him, but here comes Takuya and Toad...!" Church stated.
...
...
...
...AND BOWSER SPEARS SONIC AS HARD AS HE COULD, CAUSING THE LADDER HE WAS HOLDING TO HIT THE INCOMING TAKUYA AND TOAD AS A RESULT!
"AND BOWSER TAKES OUT ALL THREE OF THEM WITH ONE SPEAR! Bowser back in, and that's bad news for EVERYONE!" Church exclaimed.
"FINALLY! A Red takes control! About damn time! Was getting sick of all the Blues hogging the spotlight." Sarge stated.
All three of them were down as Bowser ROARED in triumph before he picked up Takuya and Toad and threw EACH of them out of the ring like pieces of trash, before turning to Sonic! He then placed him in a Standing Headscissors and lifted him onto his shoulders...
...
...
...and Sonic began FIGHTING the incoming Bowser Bomb, nailing rights to the skull of Bowser to daze him! Bowser growled, getting FRUSTRATED with being impeded like this...
...
...
...and HE DIDN'T SEE THE SPLIT-LEGGED NUT PUNCH FROM CAGE! Bowser's eyes widened in UNIMAGINABLE PAIN as he backed up from the Nut Punch, and his weight and Sonic on his shoulders cause them BOTH TO GO FALL OVER TO THE ROPES AND DOWN TO THE GROUND!
"And Cage with THE SPLIT-LEGGED NUT PUNCH! Bowser's nuts feel the pain for the SECOND TIME this match, and both him AND Sonic go tumbling out of the ring!" Church said.
"NO CAGE! Why BOWSER?! Couldn't you have Nut Punched SONIC?! Why ME?!" Sarge groaned.
Cage saw that this was his chance and quickly grabbed the ladder and set it up. He began CLIMBING the ladder as fast as he could and tried to REACH FOR THE CASE...
"Cage is going for the case, he's fingertips away!" Church stated.
...
...but SLY climbed up his ladder side and nailed a fist to his skull! Cage, frustrated, duked it out with Sly on their side of the ladder...AND DIDN'T SEE TAKUYA THROWING A LADDER INTO THEM, KNOCKING BOTH OF THEM OFF THE LADDER! Takuya took his chance to climb the ladder himself, and though the ladder wasn't fully underneath the case, he was still close enough to reach...
"Now TAKUYA'S going for the case! Cage and Sly are down, Takuya's got the chance!" Church said.
"GRAB IT! GRAB IT QUICK! Before someone stops you because they're a damn dirtbag and hater towards the Reds!" Sarge stated.
...
...and CRASH CLIMBED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LADDER AND HEADBUTTED TAKUYA, THE SURPRISE AND FORCE KNOCKING HIM OFF THE LADDER!
"And now CRASH knocks Takuya off the ladder! EVERYBODY'S going for the briefcase and taking each other out, but I think the ladder isn't fully under the briefcase! And Crash is on the side that's FARTHEST form it!" Church said.
"YEAH! GOOD! Good to hear! Gives the Reds more time to recover! Stupid Bandicoot." Sarge said.
Crash then tried to reach for the case...but realized that the ladder wasn't under the case, and his side wasn't anywhere close enough to grab it! Crash MOANED his bad luck and tried to figure out what to do...
...when he looked down...
...
...
...and saw SCOURGE lying across the LADDER BRIDGE FROM EARLIER!
"HEY...Scourge?! What's he doing on that ladder bridge?!" Sarge questioned.
"I think he fell down there after he got nailed with the ladder by Sonic! Scourge is OUT across it..." Church stated.
Scourge was motionless across the ladder as Crash looked at him with a tilted head...before a LIGHTBULB struck in his head...and he grinned in the way ONLY HE could and fully turned himself on the ladder to FACE Scourge on the ladder bridge, the crowd realizing what he wanted and bloodthirstily ENCOURAGING IT...
"..OOOOOHHH NOOOO...I think Scourge is ABOUT TO DIE...because if Crash can't grab the case...that Insane Bandicoot is about to do the NEXT BEST THING in his mind!" Church shouted.
"OH DON'T YOU DARE...DON'T! I was AFRAID of this, that Bandicoot HAD to do this! He's a DAMN DIRTY BLUE ALRIGHT! SCOURGE NO! I CAN'T WATCH!" Sarge moaned.
Crash SPLAYED his arms out...and exclaimed "WHOOOOOAAAAAA!" that the crowd followed suit with it...
...
...
...he dived off the ladder...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...CRASH LANDING DOES NOT CONNECT! I REPEAT, DOES NOT CONNECT! SCOURGE ROLLED OFF THE LADDER BRIDGE AT THE LAST SECOND! CRASH WENT BACK FIRST THROUGH THE LADDER FROM NEARLY FIFTEEN FEET IN THE AIR, AND IS MOTIONLESS AMID THE LADDER REMAINS!
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF HOLY GOOOOODDDD! CRASH IS DEAD! CRASH MAY BE F*CKIN' DEAD! SCOURGE WAS PLAYING POSSUM! THAT HEDGEHOG KNEW CRASH COULDN'T RESIST, AND PULLED HIM INTO HITTING NOTHING BUT STEEL LADDER! CRASH LANDING ALRIGHT...THE KIND THAT LEAVES YOU BROKEN IN HALF! I REPEAT, CRASH MAY BE DEAD!" Church shouted.
"SOMEBODY CALL 9-1-1 I THINK CRASH MAY ACTUALLY BE DEAD THIS TIME! SCOURGE PULLED ONE OVER ON THE DAMN BANDICOOT, AND I APPLAUD IT TOTALLY! HE HAD THE DIRTBAG SCOUTED, AND CRASH IS EFFECTIVELY OUT OF THIS MATCH! CRASH IS DESTROYED, AND SCOURGE NEEDS TO BE GIVEN THE ULTIMATE RED MEDAL! CRASH WENT THROUGH STEEL AND IS NO MORE!" Sarge exclaimed.
The crowd was STUNNED at what just happened, chanting "HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!" as Crash was NOT MOVING amid the broken ladder, and Scourge laid on the ground a ways from him...probably PROUD of what he just did...
...
...
...all while TAKUYA had recovered from Crash's headbutt and repositioned the ladder under the case before he began climbing it! Everyone else was out! This was his chance to prove he was somebody! He reached the top and GRABBED THE CASE...
"WAIT! In the rign! Takuya's BACK UP! The briefcase...!" Church shouted.
...
...
...
...
...and TOAD NAILED TAKUYA IN THE SIDE WITH A LADDER! Takuya held his side in pain, and Toad took the chance to climb the ladder and GRAB THE CASE, but Takuya nailed a RIGHT to Toad's gut, and nailed a few more rights to the skull, but Toad slammed Takuya's head on the top ladder rung, causing him to fall a bit! Toad tried to reach again...
"Toad's stunned Takuya, and now HIS turn for the case-WAIT! GOLD!" Church exclaimed.
...
...
...but GOLD grabbed Toad by the leg! Toad tried to kick him off, but got yanked off the ladder AND FELL RIGHT INTO A GOLD CUTTER!
"GOLD CUTTER! Toad pulled down RIGHT into that Gold Cutter! Toad my be seeing STARS right now!" Church stated.
"Yeah, but LOOK! Takuya's all alone on the ladder now! Thanks for the help, dirtbag!" Sarge exclaimed.
Toad rolled out of the ring as Takuya recovered and GOT A HOLD OF THE CASE...
...
...
...
...but GOLD cut him off at the pass as he rushed up the ladder like nobody's business and caught Takuya with a right! Takuya, ANNOYED with Gold by this point, fired back and the two were trading fists atop the ladder, fighting for dominance! After awhile, they both got fed up with neither relenting...and they both reached for the case...
...they grabbed the case and the chain holding it up...
"Gold and Takuya...they got the case...! Who's gonna get it down first?!" Church questioned.
...
...
...but BOWSER came in and GRABBED THE LADDER...
"Wait a DARN SECOND! BOWSER...!" Sarge exclaimed.
...
...
...
...AND PULLED IT OUT FROM UNDER THEM, LEAVING THEM BOTH DANGLING ABOVE THE RING!
"BOWSER PULLED THE DAMN LADDER OUT FROM UNDER THEM! GOLD AND TAKUYA ARE DANGLING FROM THE BRIEFCASE OVER THE RING! THOSE TWO ARE IN THE WORST POSITION TO BE IN A LADDER MATCH!" Church shouted.
"QUICK! KICK GOLD OFF, TAKUYA! LET HIM WRITHE AS HE HITS THE MAT AND THEN HAVE BOWSER HELP YOU WIN THE MATCH...OR YOU HELP BOWSER...JUST KICK GOLD OFF!" Sarge shouted.
The crowd was SHOCKED and in HORROR as both Gold and Takuya were stunned...but then realized their predicament and began KICKING each other, trying to get the other off so they could unhook the briefcase from the position...but BOWSER nailed them with the ladder he pulled from under them! Both managed to hold on, but they got hit with it AGAIN...
"Dammit, Bowser, just HIT GOLD! NOT TAKUYA! Dammit, why must it be EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?!" Sarge questioned.
"I don't know if they can hold on much longer...!" Church said.
...
...and Gold, as much common sense as he can lack, could TELL he was coming down one way or another...
...
...
...so he decided to come down in STYLE...as he let go of a hand, and HOOKED that arm around Takuya's head, much to his shock...
"What the hell?" Church questioned.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...AND DROPPED DOWN FROM THE CHAIN AND CASE WITH TAKUYA IN TOW, NAILING THE GOLD CUTTER ON HIM ALL THE WAY FROM ABOVE! TAKUYA SAT UP FROM THE IMPACT, A BLANK LOOK ON HIS FACE BEFORE FALLING DOWN OUT COLD!
"SON OF A BITCH! SON OF A GODDAMN BITCH! DID GOLD...ARE YOU...GOLD JUST NAILED A F*CKIN' GOLD CUTTER ON TAKUYA ALL THE WAY FROM THE DAMN CASE TO THE MAT BELOW! THAT DAMN TRAINER IS OUT OF HIS MIND! THIS MATCH IS SH*TTIN' INSANE!"Church exclaimed in SHOCK.
"WHAT?! WHAT WHAT?! ARE YOU BRAIN DEAD, GOLD?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! DAMMIT, TAKUYA, NOOOOOOOOOO! GOLD, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY ON THE TOP OF THE RED'S MOST WANTED LIST! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS! DAMMIT, TAKUYA WAS SUCH A MODEL RED! DAMMIT ALL!"Sarge cried out.
The crowd was ABSOLUTELY ALIVE after that move, chanting "HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!" once more...and Bowser was STUNNED as well...before shrugging and picked up Gold and CHOKESLAMMED HIM to keep him down! He then proceeded to set up the ladder he took from them...and began to SLOWLY make a trek back up the ladder, the ladder CREAKING and WOBBLING with each step from the HEAVY Koopa King, somehow holding...
"And Bowser's taking advantage of that whole deal and is climbing the ladder AGAIN...which is AGAIN...somehow HOLDING HIM..." Church stated.
...Bowser REACHED for the case...
...
...
...he GRABBED IT AND UNHOOKED IT..
"He's got it, he's got it...! Is this it?!" Church questioned.
"Bowser, you are about to get the ultimate ceremony for this victory!" Sarge saluted.
...
...
...
...
...SONIC SPRINGBOARDED ONTO THE LADDER, WHICH WOBBLED AND NEARLY FELL OVER BUT STAYED BALANCED!
"AND SONIC! Sonic Springboard onto the damn ladder - which nearly FELL OVER from that - and he's going after Bowser! HE WON'T LEAVE BOWSER ALONE!" Church shouted.
"DAMMIT, YOU DAMN HEDGEHOG! Let Bowser win, you SORE LOSER! LEAVE BOWSER ALONE! He didn't do NOTHING to you!" Sarge stated.
"I think that can be prove wrong ON SEVERAL ACCOUNTS!" Church exclaimed.
Sonic quickly climbed up the ladder and NAILED a vicious right to the skull, stunning Bowser and began to nail right after right after RIGHT on the Koopa King, unrelenting! Bowser was trying to cover up from the shots to no avail, and even got the BRIEFCASE SLAMMED INTO HIS SKULL! Sonic slammed it into Bowser again and again...BUT GOT THROTTLED BY THE THROAT BY BOWSER! Bowser shouted "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!" but Sonic KICKED Bowser in the skull from his position, over and over, trying to get him to LET GO...
"Sonic's FIGHTING...Sonic's kicking to try and stay in this match...!" Church said.
...
...but BOWSER HELD FIRM...so he ROARED...and LIFTED UP SONIC...
"ALL FOR NOTHING! BYE-BYE SONIC!" Sarge shouted.
...
...
...
...and SONIC CAUGHT BOWSER WITH A KNEE, GETTING DROPPED AND LATCHING ONTO BOWSER WITH A GUILLOTINE CHOKE ON TOP OF THE LADDER!
"OH SHIT! GUILLOTINE CHOKE! GUILLOTINE CHOKE! SONIC'S CHOKING BOWSER OUT ON THE LADDER AND WON'T LET GO! BOWSER'S IN TROUBLE!" Church exclaimed.
"WHAT?! NO! GET HIM OFF, BOWSER! GET HIM OFF! HE'S JUST LIKE A FLY, JUST SWAT HIM OFF WITH A FLICK OF YOUR FINGER!" Sarge shouted.
Bowser's eyes were full on SAUCERS as he flailed around, Sonic CHOKING the life out of Bowser as much as he could on the ladder! Bowser nailed Sonic a few times and tried to pry him off, but Sonic was like LEECH, he would NOT LET GO! Bowser felt the LIFE leaving him, and knew he had to act FAST so he RAMMED Sonic back-first into the ladder! Sonic held FIRM, so Bowser did it AGAIN, and began THRASHING about, trying to throw Sonic off of him! It was TIGHT-KNIT on top of that ladder!
"Sonic is NOT letting go, he's ATTACHED to Bowser as this point, but Bowser's doing all he can to get him off! Something's gotta give!" Church exclaimed.
"Dammit, get off you annoying Blue gn-Wait...OH NOOOOO..." Sarge cried out...
...but what they didn't notice...was that the ladder was ALREADY having trouble staying balanced and holding with their two weights...
...and Bowser ramming Sonic into it, and trying to throw him off...
...was the LAST STRAW...for when Bowser jerked to the right to get Sonic off of him...the ladder WOBBLED...
...
...and TIPPED OVER...
"OH DAMN! TIIIMMMBBBEEERRRRRRR!" Church called out.
...
...
...
...
...
...AND BOWSER FELL OFF THE LADDER WITH SONIC STILL ATTACHED TO HIM, THE TWO GOING OVER THE ROPES AND CRASHING TO THE GROUND NASTILY WITH THEIR POSITION!
"AND BOWSER AND SONIC GO SPLAT ONTO THE OUTSIDE! THE LADDER COULD NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE! IT WENT OVER, AND BOWSER AND SONIC CRASHED AND BURNED! SONIC AND BOWSER MAY BE OUT!" Church exclaimed.
"THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF SONIC HAD JUST LET BOWSER WIN AND NOT BE LIKE A LEECH! ALL OF YOU DAMN BLUES ARE THE SAME! NO DAMN BRAINS! THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD BE RED!" Sarge exclaimed.
Sonic and Bowser were LAID OUT on the outside, not moving an inch...
...
...and NARUTO slid into the ring, hurt from earlier but still willing to continue as he pulled the ladder back to an upright position! He GINGERLY began making his way up the ladder...
...
...but CAGE began making his way up the ladder, and caught Naruto with a right as he was reaching for the case! The two began trading blows with each other on top of the ladder...
...but then TOAD set up ANOTHER ladder next to theirs! And HE began making his way up the ladder...and then GOLD climbed up THAT ladder as well! Toad REACHED for the case, but got an elbow from Cage, then a right from Gold, who reached, but Naruto stopped him! The four began to trade blows with each other, before they ALL BEGAN REACHING FOR THE CASE! IT WAS A FREE FOR ALL ON TOP OF THE LADDERS!
"And now it's a RACE FOR THE CASE! Every MAN for HIMSELF on top of the ladders! Everyone's going for the case! WHO'S GOING TO GET IT?!" Church asked.
"CAGE! TOAD! ONE OF YOU GET IT! PLEASE! PRESERVE THE CHANCES OF REDHOOD GETTING THAT CASE!" Sarge pleaded.
The four eventually beat each other away from the case, and Cage tried for a NUT PUNCH ON TOAD, but the Toad managed to back away in time and HEADBUTT CAGE! Cage was stunned, but got grabbed and then TOAD SWING OFF THE LADDER! Cage was OUT as Gold grabbed Naruto on his side of the ladder and GOLD CUTTER OFF THE LA-NARUTO BROKE FREE! Gold nearly lost his balance and turned around but GOT LIFTED...
...
...NINJA'S WAY OFF THE LADDER TO THE MAT BELOW! NARUTO WAS ALL ALONE UP THE LADDER!
"NINJA'S WAY! Gold got NINJA'S WAYED off the ladder! Naruto's all alone! Everyone else got taken out! THIS IS HIS CHANCE! GO FOR IT, NARUTO! GET THE GUARANTEE OF GETTING THE TITLE THAT GOT AWAY!" Church shouted.
Naruto panted, leaning over the ladder exhausted...but he HAD IT...he reached up...GRABBED THE BRIEFCASE...began UNHOOKING IT...
...
...
...
...TOAD CAUGHT NARUTO WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE GUT! He had climbed despite the pain to stop Naruto! Naruto held his gut as Toad reached but CAUGHT HIM WITH A RIGHT! The two began trading blows once again...and Naruto nailed a HARD right which caused Toad to pull the ladder to the side...
"TOAD STOPPED NARUTO! Toad's back up and he's fighting Naruto! It's ANYONE'S race right now!" Church stated.
...
...and that was all that was needed for the ladder to tip over...
"May not be in a second, because the ladder's TIPPING OVER...!" Sarge pointed
...
...
...
...
...
...AND CAUSE NARUTO TO CRASH ONTO THE ROPES AND MAT...
...
...
...WHILE TOAD LANDED ON THE RUNGS OF THE LADDER SET UP IN THE CORNER!
"And NARUTO crashes HARD...but Toad LANDS ON THE LADDER! He LANDS on the ladder, saving his own ass!" Church exclaimed. "And that's the WORST POSITION Naruto could ever want Toad in right now!"
"Oh yes it does...because WE ALL KNOW WHAT IT MEANS! A moment WORTHY OF THE REDS..." Sarge exclaimed.
Toad leaned against the ladder, really feeling the match affecting him...but he looked down at Naruto on the mat...and saw where he was...and REALIZED the opportunity he had. He looked around the crowd, who chanted "GO FOR IT! GO FOR IT!" and Toad looked down...and NODDED as he began to climb up the ladder to the very top! Eventually, he got to the top rung...and STEADIED HIMSELF on it...took a deep breath...and shouted three letters and one word...
...
...
...
"E...C...F*CKIN'-W!"
...
...
...
...
...
...
...TOAD NAILS THE GOOMBA STOMP OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER ON NARUTO!
"GOOOOOMMMBAAAA STOOOMMPPP! FROM NEARLY TWENTY FEET OFF THE LADDER, NARUTO WAS STOMPED INTO PASTE BY TOAD! TOAD GOING ECW ON NARUTO, AND THE RESULTS SHOW!" Church exclaimed.
"YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! THANK YOU TOAD! YOU DID GREAT! GOOD JOB! ...NOW GET THE BRIEFCASE FOR MARIO! RIGHT THIS INSTANCE!" Sarge insisted.
The crowd went CRAZY, clapping like crazy and chanting "E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!" as Toad held his legs in pain, the move hurting him just as much as it hurt Naruto! However, he was NOT to be daunted as he pulled the remaining ladder to the center of the ring! He then SLOWLY but SURELY began making his way up the ladder, the crowd WON OVER by Toad now! He could TASTE IT...he REACHED the top...
"Toad's at the top of the ladder! He's at the top! He just needs to get the case!" Church said.
...
...
...he GRABBED THE CASE...
...
...BEGAN UNHOOKING IT...
"YES! Pull it down! QUICK! QUICK!" Sarge urged.
"Does Toad have it?!" Church questioned.
...
...
...
...
...
...AND SLY NAILED TOAD IN THE KIWIS WITH HIS CANE FROM BELOW!
"And To-OOOHHHHHH..." Church winced as he held his own nads. "RIGHT to the jewels... SHADES of the first Money in the Bank with Sly... And that may be it for Toad..."
"DAMMIT, SLY! Why can't you let me WIN with you?! I've had it with you Saints, go into OBSCURITY! OBSCURITY RULES FOR YOU!" Sarge stated.
Toad held his balls in TREMENDOUS pain to a mixed reaction, as Sly shrugged and said "Do what you gotta do" then hooked the cane around Toad's neck and PULLED HIM OFF...
...
...or WOULD HAVE if Toad didn't HOLD ONTO THE LADDER FOR DEAR LIFE! Sly was confused and said "What the hell?" and tried to pull him down AGAIN, but Toad was HOLDING ON! Sly continued to try and yank Toad down with the cane, but Toad REFUSED to budge, despite feeling like being CHOKED, shouting "I...AM...NOT...A...LACKEY!" before PULLING FORWARD WITH ALL HIS MIGHT, PULLING SLY INTO THE LADDER FACE-FIRST!
"Toad did NOT get pulled down! I repeat, he did NOT get pulled down by the cane! History does NOT repeat itself, as Sly ate ladder!" Church stated.
"COME ON TOAD! COME ON! Get it before that damn coon recovers! FOR MARIO! FOR THE REDS!" Sarge shouted.
Toad leaned against the ladder, groaning in pain before he reached up once more AND GOT A CANE SHOT TO THE BACK! Sly would NOT stay down! Toad gritted his teeth as Sly stumbled to the other side of the ladder, and began climbing it as well, and said "Sorry, man..." before NAILING Toad with the cane, causing him to drop a few rungs! Sly reached for the case...
"And Toad falls down a few rungs! Sly's got the chance before Toad recovers! Sly reaching!" Church called.
...
...
...
...
...and Sly PUL-GOT SPEARED! SPEARED OFF THE LADDER! SCOURGE SPEARED SLY, LADDER TO LADDER, CRASHING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
"SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEEEAAARR! SCOURGE JUST SPEARED SLY OFF THE DAMN LADDER! ALL THE WAY FROM THE LADDER IN THE CORNER! SLY NEVER SAW IT COMING!" Church called.
"SCOURGE, YOU WILL BE THANKED UNTIL THE END OF TIME FOR THAT! THANK YOU! AND TOAD'S ALL ALONE ON THE LADDER AGAIN! GO FOR IT, TOAD!" Church shouted.
Toad groaned as he fought the pain he was in and made his way back up the ladder slowly...and REACHED for the case once more...
...
...but SCOURGE ascended the ladder like a wild animal and nailed a RIGHT to Toad! He then reached...
"SCOURGE! Scourge back on the ladder and now reaching for the briefcase...!" Church exclaimed.
...but TOAD fought back with a right of his own!
...Scourge nailed Toad with a headbutt!
...Toad slammed the case into Scourge!
...Scourge with a thumb to the eye!
...Toad with an Elbow Smash to the face!
SCOURGE AND TOAD WENT CRAZY ON TOP OF THE LADDER, DUKING IT OUT FOR THE CASE RIGHT ABOVE THEM! THEY WERE ALL THAT WERE LEFT UP THERE! THIS WAS THEIR CHANCE! THEIR MOMENT!
"TOAD AND SCOURGE! FIGHTING ON TOP OF THE LADDER! IT'S A SLUGFEST UP THERE, BATTLING FOR DOMINANCE! THEY KNOW THEY MAY BE THE LAST ONES LEFT! FIGHTING FOR THE GUARANTEE OF BEING A WORLD CHAMPION! IT'S ALL ON THE LINE!" Church shouted.
"THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, PEOPLE! TWO GREAT REDS FOR SOMETHING AS RICH AS THIS! GIVING THEIR ALL, AND BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER TO BE A WORLD CHAMPION IN THE FUTURE! AND TOAD AND SCOURGE WILL KEEP FIGHTING FOR IT UNTIL THEIR LAST BREATH! WHO'S COMING OUT ON TOP?!" Sarge questioned.
The two continued to trade blows...until Toad SLOWLY began to get the upper hand in the fight, hammering Scourge with blows...until Scourge KICKED Toad in the gut through the rungs, stunning him! Scourge quickly climbed up and GRABBED THE CASE-SPIT IN THE EYE! Toad SPIT in Scourge's eyes in desperation, and the Moebian hedgehog held his eye in agony...
...
...
...AND TOAD PUSHED HIM OFF THE LADDER!
"And Toad PUSHED SCOURGE OFF THE LADDER! Off the spit to the eye! TOAD IS ALL ALONE! HE'S ALL ALONE! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! GO FOR IT, TOAD! GO FOR IT! YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A LACKEY?! THEN MAKE IT REALITY, HERE AND NOW! PULL DOWN THE BRIEFCASE!" Church urged.
"FOR THE REDS, TOAD! SCOURGE WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT, BUT YOU ARE HELPING MARIO WITH THIS! GRAB THE CASE! BE MR. MONEY IN THE BANK FOR THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM!" Sarge exclaimed.
Toad was ALL ALONE on the ladder...everyone was DOWN...the crowd was GOING CRAZY...Toad couldn't believe it...but he REACHED for the case...
...
...
...
...he GRABBED IT...
...
...
...
...UNHOOKED IT...
...
...
...
...BEGAN PULLING IT OUT OF THE CLASP...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...TOAD IS THE NEW MR. MO-SCOURGE THREW A CHAIR FROM BELOW RIGHT INTO TOAD'S FACE HARD! THE SAME CHAIR SONIC BROUGHT IN AT THE START OF THE MATCH!
"OOOOHHHH! THE CHAIR! SCOURGE THREW THAT CHAIR INTO TOAD'S FACE! I THINK THAT'S THE SAME ONE SONIC BROUGHT IN AGAIN AT THE START OF THIS MATCH! USED AGAIN, AND IT MAY COST TOAD EVERYTHING!" Church exclaimed.
"I GUARANTEE YOU THAT SONIC NEVER THOUGHT THAT CHAIR WOULD BE USED FOR THIS! TOAD DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE IS...AND MY GOD, SCOURGE IS GOING IN FOR THE KILL!" Sarge exclaimed.
Toad let go of the hook and case, which slid back into the clasp and was absolutely OUT OF IT on the ladder, wondering what just him! The crowd told him to LOOK OUT...
...
...
...but it didn't matter as Scourge grabbed the ladder and PUSHED IT AS HARD AS HE COULD...
...
...
...
...all while Sonic and Bowser were SOMEHOW getting up on the outside...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...AND TOAD FELL OFF THE LADDER AND TO THE OUTSIDE, CRASHING DOWN ONTO SONIC AND BOWSER, BRINGING THEM ALL DOWN!
"AND SCOURGES PUSHES THE LADDER DOWN! TOAD JUST CRASHED RIGHT INTO BOWSER AND SONIC AS A RESULT! ALL THREE OF THEM ARE DOWN! TOAD'S DREAMS JUST WENT UP IN SMOKE!" Church exclaimed.
"TOAD CAME SO CLOSE, BUT THE ULTIMATE RED'S NOT GONNA HAVE ANY INSURANCE NOW! BUT SCOURGE...THE KING'S ALL ALONE IN THE RING NOW...!" Sarge exclaimed.
Toad was laid out with the two rivals...and SCOURGE quickly pulled the ladder back up to an outright position, a wild and panicking look in his eye! He took a QUICK look around, wanting to make sure NO ONE was going to get up for this...and when it was clear he was the only one standing, he TREKKED UP THE LADDER TO HUGE BOOS FROM THE CROWD...
"Scourge is CLIMBING as fast as he possibly can up the ladder! Everyone else is DOWN! No one's there to interfere! Don't TELL ME...!" Church stated.
"IS THIS IT?! IS THIS IT?! IS THIS IT?!" Sarge repeated thrice.
...
...he reached the top as fast as he could, and stood tall near the top rung...
...
...
...he looked at the case hungrily, before GRASPING IT...
...
...
...
...UNHOOKED IT...
...
...
...
...BEGAN PULLING IT OUT...
...
...
...
...

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...SCOURGE PULLS DOWN THE BRIEFCASE, AN ABSOLUTELY ERRATIC AND FIERCE LOOK IN HIS EYES!
"SCOURGE DID IT! HE ACTUALLY F*CKIN' DID IT! SCOURGE THE HEDGEHOG HAS THE BRIEFCASE! SCOURGE THE HEDGEHOG IS MR. MONEY IN THE BANK!" Church called.
I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back
I'll fight to remain
On this day I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind
("Metalingus" by Alter Bridge)
"HERE IS YOUR WINNER...AND THE NEEEWWWW MR. MONEY IN THE BANK..."THE KING OF THE WORLD" SCOURGE THE HEEEDDGGEEEEEHOOOOGGGG!" Cait Sith announced to the world.
Scourge stood on top of the ladder, holding the briefcase to his chest as tightly as he possibly can, a wild look in his eyes before trying to climb down, only to fall off onto the mat flat on his back his whole body aching. He still held the briefcase as tightly as he possibly could, unwilling to let go, all while the crowd booed Scourge as the winner, but still cheering and clapping as they loved everything that went down in this match. Scourge slowly began pulling himself up to his feet via the ropes, and managed to stand up, and took in the moment...before raising the briefcase and shouting "I TOLD YOU ALL! I TOLD YOU! NO MORE LOSING! NO MORE RIDICULE TOWARDS ME! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?! THIS IS MY MOMENT! MY BRIEFCASE! AND THE KING WILL SOON TAKE BACK HIS THRONE!" He then held the briefcase to his chest once more before dropping down and sliding out of the ring, walking up the ramp as the carnage in and around the ring was shown...
"Scourge has made HISTORY! Scourge has put him among the elite few to win the Money in the Bank match TWICE in the SAME COMPANY! He's now a 2x UCA Mr. Money in the Bank! And the CAR WRECK he went through to get that was INSANE! This whole match was INSANITY!" Church exclaimed.
"Damn right it was, dirtbag, even I didn't think it would as insane as it was! It may have been the most chaotic Money in the Bank Ladder Match we've ever had in UCA! It was a demolition derby, a true destruction classic...but in the end, SCOURGE stands tall! WAY TO STAND TALL FOR THE REDS, SCOURGE! YOU MADE US ALL PROUD TONIGHT!" Sarge shouted.
"Scourge is Mr. Money in the Bank...and with that title, he is the most powerful man in all of UCA. And knowing how HE is...no telling what he's gonna do with that case. But all I can say...is he's the Uncrowned World Champion, and that's bad news for a LOT OF PEOPLE!" Church stated. "What a MATCH..."
The rest of the MITB competitors were shown around the ring...Crash was still motionless amid the remains of the ladder bridge...Takuya was still out of it, wondering what just happened to him...Sly sat against the barricade, holding his midsection and sighing...Naruto held his chest, and slammed a fist into the announce table in frustration...Cage grabbed his Internet Title and held his body, cursing everything...Gold held his head as he lied on the outside, just groaning to himself...Bowser growled angrily, there would be hell to pay for this...Sonic just slammed his head into the apron, frustrated he failed again, but took a bit of solace in keeping Bowser from winning...and Toad held his head as he sat against the apron, just frustrated, angry, and so much more...
...all while Scourge stood at the top of the rampway, and then turned to the camera with a scowl...
"...Don't think...that this means everything's okay." Scourge gritted out. "Pride & Glory...and Tommy Oliver...opened the floodgates. They started something that they're going to regret big time... This briefcase...is only the START. No more playing around...you all brought this on yourselves..."
Scourge then leaned into the camera and said in a low voice...
"The takeover...begins NOW."
"...TAKEOVER? What the hell does he mean by that?! WHAT TAKEOVER?! What's he talking about?!" Church questioned.
"Well I know what it is! Of course I do, me and Scourge are buddies and fellow Reds, we share stuff all the time!" Sarge stated.
"Really, then what's he talking about?" Church asked.
"Like I would tell you! Reds NEVER TELL SECRETS! You'll never know! HAHAHAHAHA!" Sarge exclaimed.
"...Dammit, why do I put up with you? ...Well whatever! Whatever this takeover is, it can only be bad news for UCA! But for right now, Scourge has done it! The King of the World is the Uncrowned World Champion! SCOURGE THE HEDGEHOG...IS MR. MONEY IN THE BANK!"
The last shot we see before we go to the back is Scourge throwing up the devil horns with one hand, and raising the briefcase with the other, shouting at the top of his lungs on the stage "ALL HAIL THE KING OF THE WORLD, BABY!"
The camera goes to the backstage parking garage of the stadium...where we see an assortment of cars and such parked everywhere, and everything seems quiet...but then something is heard in the distance...
...and the camera turns to see a CHARIZARD fly into the parking lot from the entrance to it, the speed it came actually pushing a few cars back before it comes to a halt. It then slowly lands on its feet in the middle of the garage, and snorted out some flames before turning to someone on his back...
...
...and the person jumped off the Charizard and revealed itself to be RED, which the crowd a THUNDEROUS mixed reaction for. Red's expression was stoic and neutral as he had a backpack slung over his shoulder and back. He then turned to Charizard...and patted him on the shoulder before saying...
"Thanks...now go. From here on out...this is my fight alone."
The Charizard gave a...worried, concerned look towards its Trainer...but Red just gave it a nod, telling him to go and he will be fine. The Charizard just sighed...but nodded and proceeded to fly out of the backstage lot. Red then began making his way to the main backstage area, backpack held over his shoulder.
"Red is HERE! The Pokemon Master is HERE for Hell in a Cell, the main event! And you can tell from that look, he is ready for the END!" Church stated.
"The damn dirtbag's here, and I believe that for once! Red's focused, he's determined, and we're going to see WAR later tonight! Oh, it's gonna be a battle worthy of the Reds!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Red and Blue later tonight for Hell in a Cell...and there's no telling WHAT we'll see there..." Church said. "But that's for later tonight...and next up...Green vs Kiva Andru! Legend vs Rookie! Let's get it on!" The camera then went back to the ring...
