UCA: Universal Character Association Chapter 44: Cruiserweight Title Match, a Wrestling + Cartoon X-overs Crossover fanfic

The camera returns to the stadium, where a wide pan of the stadium is shown...and Church's voice could be heard...

"Alright, people...we're back live at the AT&T Stadium...and we're about to bring you the FIRST of SIX Title matches here at Final Clash, and this one...is all about a game of "1-up"..." Church stated.

It was then that the bell rang a few times, and we saw Cait Sith in the ring, mic in hand on top of his moogle...

"The following contest is schedule for one fall, everybody...and it is for the UCA Cruiserweight Championship of the WORLD!" Cait Sith announced to loud cheers, as a graphic of the words "UCA," "Cruiserweight," and "Championship" all collided with each other before a belt spun onto the screen, and the words slammed onto the belt, indicating the title that was on the line. Several moments passed after that as the crowd waited until...

Deep inside, I hide the words I want to say

Kept far from light, I'm tryin not to speak my mind

Why do I tell everyone I know

That this just feels wrong

Its time to make amends

And I'm feeling for my answers

And I'm trying to find my way

The truth is that I don't know what to say

And I'm fighting for my reasons

And ill take this all the way

The fact is that I don't care what you say

("Finest Hour" by Bulletproof Messenger)

The crowd went into a big mixed reaction of boos and cheers as the music hit, as the lights flickered yellow and light repeatedly all over the arena...and SORA came out onto the stage, floating in his Final Drive Form, the Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades floating behind him, and with a smirk, he spun the Keyblades around him in fantastical fashion before spinning like a tornado with them, then coming to a stop, aiming the Keyblades upward, and firing beams of light which strike each other and create a shower of light sparks over him. And when that happens, Sora comes out of his Drive Form, and lands on the stage in his upcoming Kingdom Hearts III attire, complete with his new subdued hairstyle. Sora stood tall, and clap his hands and rubbed them together, smirking as he said "Showtime..." before throwing his hands down and began making his way down the ramp, a confident and cocky stride in his step.

"Introducing the challenger, FIRST, from Destiny Islands, weighing in at 203 lbs...SORA!" Cait Sith announced.

"And here comes the challenge, who earned this shot all the way back at Last Stand in the Cruiserweight Open Gauntlet! And ever since then, he has pretty much been engaging in a game of "One-Up" with the Champion! All about who can can do better than the other! And it looked Sora was winning, but then it got heated REALLY quickly, like...right after Tidus sort of KICKED Sora in the head and cost him a match against ROBIN, helping him break year-long losing streak! THAT stuck in Sora's craw, for sure, and you know he's wanted to get back at that! And this is his chance for that! Sora's quite comfortable in the Cruiserweight environment, a Champ in both WWE and UCA before, and he plans on using that experience to take home the gold!" Church stated.

"And HE WILL! Do you know how good Sora is?! Hell, he's a FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! Against all odds, he managed to be one after all these years, and he did through Money in the Bank, a match he won which is ALWAYS a high-risk environment! Sora THRIVES in a high-flying battle, and this is exactly what it's going to be! And after some recent events in Animated, he's more than motivated to take the title here! And he's shown that he's MORE than capable of taking the title away from Sora, he's got EXACTLY what it takes! Sora's gonna add ANOTHER Cruiserweight Title to his resume, and show that even today...that fact that he's a Red allows him to keep up with everybody else!" Sarge stated.

"Sora has been a big veteran here at Final Clash, winning the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in 2012, he's been quite a few Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and he was even part of the big Survivor Series Match for the fate of UCA back in 2006, but to him, this is more personal as to show what he's made of, and to get the FINAL one-up over Tidus!" Church said.

So where do we go when

The doors keep on closing

You're wasting your time don't stand in our way

So now we have chosen

To just kick them open

Take this as a sign don't throw it away

Years go by and feelings have but all run dry

I've asked you why it took so long to see the light

Why do I tell everyone I know that I have messed up

This time I'll have to pay

Sora reached the ringside and leaped onto the apron, slingshotting himself over the ropes and into the ring, spinning himself as he does so. He then climbed up a nearby corner, and pretty much splayed his arms out, shouting out "Time for Tidus to get one-upped for GOOD! Say hello to your new Champ!" Sora then jumped out of the corner and landed on the mat, spinning around and began pacing around the ring as he waited for the Champ. He knew he would win, he just needed the guy he would take the title from him...eventually...

I'm always screaming my lungs out

Till my head starts spinning.

Playing my songs is the way

I cope with life. Won't keep my voice down.

Know the words I speak are the thoughts

I think out loud

I like to keep things honest

I'm a safe bet like your life's

Staked on it, For real

I'd hate to keep you all wondering

I'm constant like the seasons

And I will never be forgotten man

("All I Want" by A Day to Remember)

The crowd cheered loudly at the sound of the music playing, and when the lyrics began to play, TIDUS appeared, flipping and spinning onto the stage with the Cruiserweight Title around his waist before backflipping into the air, spinning through it before landing in a three-point stance. Donning his Dissidia attire for tonight, he looks up with a grin and stands with a blitzball in hand, lacing it with energy before tossing it into the air, then jumping up, spinning like a tornado before KICKING the ball with as much force and momentum as he can muster, sending it over the ring where it explodes in a massive light show of energy, earning cheers from the crowd. Tidus lands on the ground, with a grin on his face as he had been waiting for this before making his way down the ramp.

"And his opponent, from the City of Zanarkand, weighing in at 209 lbs., he is the UCA Cruiserweight Champion of the World (and a fellow Final Fantasy character, might I add)...TIDUS" Cait Sith announced.

"Tidus, the Champion, is coming off of a very impressive defense of the Cruiserweight Title at Pride & Glory, where he managed to keep the title in UCA hands from three challengers who wanted to take it to other companies! He even pinned Cruiserweight legend, Trunks Briefs, to retain the title, and you can tell that was a HUGE confidence booster! He's got all the momentum in the world as he heads into this title defense against Sora, and the rivalry between these two is really heated, with these two exchanging finisher uses, match screw-overs, putting on better matches...these two have done everything they can, but Tidus said it himself...this is the final "one-up," the one where who wins determines who gets the last laugh here, and you can tell Tidus wants to be the one to get that last laugh BAD! He wants to win here to further his goal of surpassing his father!" Church said.

"Well it's NOT going to happen! Him surpassing Jecht?! Allow me to laugh in fake fashion...HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Jecht is greater than his kid in every way, no way it's gonna happen! Especially when Sora's better than him! He can't hold a candle to Sora, and he's about to be shown why! I rooted for him to keep our title with UCA, yeah, but this time around, nothing's stopping me from watching Sora take the Cruiserweight Title! And it will be GLORIOUS! The Reds shall rejoice! THANK YOU TIDUS FOR BEING CHAMP LONG ENOUGH FOR THIS DAY!" Sarge stated.

"This will be Tidus' first ever Final Clash, the first of many as he hopes. But will it be one that ends in victory, or in complete disappointment? We're going to find out as these two battle for the biggest prize of the Cruiserweight Division!" Church called.

Let's leave no words unspoken

And save regrets for the broken.

Will you even look back when you think of me?

All I want is a place to call my own,

To mend the hearts of everyone

Who feels alone (whoa)

You know to keep your hopes up high

And your head down low

Tidus eventually made it to ringside and ran, jumping and sliding into the ring before standing to his feet. He then quickly got to the ropes, and got on them, undoing the title around his waist and raising it high for all to see, causing the crowd to cheer louder. He patted the title and thumbed to himself, as if to say it was his, and it would be for a good while. Tidus got off the corner, and turned around to face Sora who was opposite of him, and the Keyblade Wielder smirked cockily, and said "Keep it warm for me, Tidus, I'm going to be keeping it for a long time!" Tidus, in response, just grinned and said "Got to be better than me to have that...if you can for once." Tidus then handed his title to Matt Newman, and he raised the title high for all to see before handing it to the ringside crew. He then turned to the two wrestlers, and made sure they were ready before ringing the bell!

"And the title match is underway! Sora vs Tidus, Kingdom Hearts vs Final Fantasy for the Cruiserweight Title! And I can tell it's going to be something BIG!" Church stated.

Tidus and Sora met in the center of the ring, circling each other cautiously as Tidus even made a slight dive that the Keyblade Wielder dodged before standing up right. Eventually, the two locked up, with Sora getting Tidus in a waistlock. Tidus quickly did a Standing Switch, getting Sora in a waistlock instead, but this was quickly countered by Sora kneeling and throwing Tidus over him. Tidus rolled to his feet and ran, but it was right into a Snap Arm Drag. Tidus jumped up, and caught a dashing Sora with an Arm Drag of his own. Sora rolled to his knees and went for a swift Leg Sweep, but Tidus jumped over it, then went for a Roundhouse on the kneeling Sora, but Sora ducked it and pushed Tidus into the ropes. Tidus bounced off them, and into a Hurricanrana Pin from his challenger! 1...2...Tidus suddenly rolls them forward for a Sunset Flip Pin of his own! 1...2...Sora rolled out of it and onto his feet, and Tidus followed suit. Sora and Tidus quickly exchanged Roundhouse Kicks which collided with each other twice over, before both going for a Dropkick which nailed each other in mid-air! The two quickly got to their feet and stood off with each other, the crowd clapping in ovation for that sequence!

"Okay, now THAT was something else, and this damn crowd agrees with me there! Sora and Tidus with a sequence that shows they are going to pull out all the stops here, that was hard for me to keep up with!" Church said.

"HUH?! What happened?! It happened so fast, I didn't catch! Dammit, dirtbag, what happened?! I need to know if Sora won that or not!" Sarge said.

Sora smirked in cockiness, while Tidus grinned in eagerness before the two engaged in another lock-up, this time with Tidus nailing a Headlock Takedown on Sora, and wrenches the head. The Keyblade Wielder counteracts as he wraps his legs around the Champ's head, but Tidus kips out of it, and the two manage to make it to their feet, and Sora catches Tidus with a Spinning Back Kick to the gut. He then went for an Irish Whip, but Tidus reversed with one of his own instead into the ropes, but Sora Handspringed off them, and BACKFLIPPED OVER A SHOOT KICK FROM TIDUS! The crowd was in awe as Tidus was surprised, Sora wagging a finger with a grin, and the Champ, ticked, threw a right only for Sora to duck, then run the ropes and nail a Springboard Crossbody on Tidus! Cover! 1...2...Kick out! Sora gets to his feet as Tidus stumbles up, and Sora floated over to behind Tidus and nailed a Backstabber on him in one fluid motion!

"And Backstabber by Sora soon after backflipping in the manner he did over Tidus' attack! Sora definitely wants to show Tidus that he's out of his league before winning!" Church stated.

"And he's doing a great job of it, who else could pull off moves like that?! GO BACK TO ZANARKAND, TIDUS, AT LEAST ALL THE BLUES THERE SUCK AS MUCH AS YOU!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sora covers Tidus! 1...2...Tidus kicks out. Sora wasn't moved by this and quickly picked up Tidus, and nailed a few Jumping Knees to his chest to keep him dazed. He then Irish Whipped the Champ into a corner, and then ran at him full steam! And Sora RAN RIGHT into two lifted feet to the jaw, stunning him and sending him back a bit! Tidus then pushed himself up to the second turnbuckle easily, and dived towards his challenger. Sora ducked the move, but Tidus adjusted mid-air and quickly rolled through the move upon reaching the ground and onto his feet. He then went for a kick, but Sora caught it, and with a smirk, threw it up and away AND TIDUS USED THE MOMENTUM TO BACKFLIP OUT OF IT AND ONTO HIS FEET! The crowd CHEERED at this, and Sora was floored, and Tidus simply wagged his finger at Sora, just like Sora did before. Sora growled and went for a Spinning Heel Kick, but Tidus ducked it, and ran the ropes, and quickly caught Sora with a Snap Hurricanrana, sending him out of the ring. Tidus then stood, sized up Sora outside the ring, then ran the ropes...

...AND CLEARED THE ROPES WITH AN OVER-THE-TOP CORKSCREW PLANCHA ON SORA!

"And TIDUS FLIES AND NAILS SORA WITH EVERYTHING ON THAT CORKSCREW PLANCHA! I think the game of 1-up is continuing still in this match, as Tidus just outdid Sora's moves just now! They still want to prove who's better!" Church stated.

"GAH! Dammit, Sora, you should have sidestepped and let him splat! It would've been funnier...especially since it happened to a Blue. Whenever it happens, a Red gains his wings." Sarge said.

"...What the HELL?" Church asked in disbelief.

The crowd loved that, chanting "Tidus! Tidus! Tidus!" as said Champ stood up with a grin on his face, proud of his work. he then picked up Sora and threw him back into the ring. He then leaped onto the apron, then the top rope as Sora got up...and quickly nailed him with a Diving Blockbuster! Tidus quickly hooks the legs of his folded body! 1...2...Sora kicks out in the nick of time! Tidus quickly picks up Sora and throws him into the corner, and begins to drive Shoot Kicks into the chest.

"Dammit, not those Shoot Kicks! I HATE those Shoot Kicks! Get them away from Sora!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Not gonna happen as Tidus has full control, and probably wants to cave in Sora's chest if he can! Anything to win here!" Church said.

Tidus continued the Shoot Kick for awhile until he reached nine, then backed up, and ran and nailed a Corner Dropkick to Sora! Tidus then pulled in Sora, and went for an Olympic Slam WHICH SORA TURNED INTO AN ARM DRAG! Tidus was dragged down, but Sora rolled to his feet, arm still in hand as he used it to yank him up then and there...

...AND NAILED A POISONED FRANKENSTEINER ON TIDUS THE MOMENT!

"OH DAMN! Tidus got SPIKED onto his head HARD! I think that was for the earlier Hurricanrana! One-upping in the most PAINFUL way!" Church stated.

"And see, THIS is why Sora's someone the Reds endorse! Not our favorite, but when he does that, how can we not like him?!" Sarge questioned.

Tidus's head was spiked onto the mat and he fell to the ground and rolled out of the ring from the impact. Sora then stood to his ring, looked at Tidus...and smirked, exclaiming "Hey...guess what I'm about to do better than you?!" Sora then ran the ropes as Tidus stood on the outside...and leaped onto a middle rope near the corner...then to the top rope of the group of ropes in front of Tidus...

...

...AND NAILS A TRIANGLE SHOOTING STAR PLANCHA ON TIDUS ON THE OUTSIDE!

"AND SORA WITH A DAMN SHOOTING STAR ON TIDUS JUST LIKE THAT! THAT was for the Corkscrew earlier too! Sora just outdid Tidus in a massive WAY, and he's gotta love it!" Church stated.

"YEAAAAHHHH, THERE YOU GO! DO IT AGAIN...AND MAKE SURE TIDUS' BODY BREAKS THIS TIME!" Sarge urged.

The crowd couldn't help but pop at the move, chanting "THAT WAS AWESOME! *clap clap clap clap clap* THAT WAS AWESOME!" as Sora stood with a smirk and followed up on his question from before. "...Flying." He then looked over to the steps and down at Tidus, before quickly walking and getting on the barricade near another side of the ring. He then balanced, and readied...as Tidus got up...

"What in the HELL is Sora DOING?!" Church questioned.

...and ran across the barricade with STARTLING ease...

"Whatever it is, he's doing it with the GREATEST of EASE!" Sarge stated.

...

...AND JUMPED OFF AT THE END OF IT AND MISSILE DROPKICKED TIDUS IN THE BACK, SENDING HIM HEADFIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS HARD!

"OH SHIT! SON OF A...! Sora just jumped off the barricade and DROPKICKED Tidus HEADFIRST into the steps! Oh damn, I don't want the migraine TIDUS has to be having right now! Hell, I'd rather not be in UNCONSCIOUSNESS where he is right now!" Church stated.

"And that's a place I don't want to be in myself...but Tidus can stay there forever! He belongs there! STAY THERE TIDUS! FOR ALL OF US REDS!" Sarge exclaimed.

Tidus slumped down against the steps, almost OUT of it with the way his head crashed into the steps, and Sora simply picked up Tidus and put him back into the ring. He then got on the apron...

...and SLINGSHOT LEG DROP CONNECTS! Sora with the cover!

"And there's a slingshot over the ropes into a leg drop to follow that! And now the cover!" Church said.

1...

2...

Tidus kicks out!

"Well dammit, he kicked out! Ah well, that just means Sora can keep on showing he's better in every way. No problem." Sarge replied.

Sora quickly latches a Headlock and wrenches on the already throbbing head of the Champ, adding more pain to it at the moment...but the adjusted himself...and actually began to HEADSTAND while still applying his Headlock, earning a few "Aawws" from the crowd for the impressive display. Sora kept it up for ten whole seconds before dropping back down and throwing Tidus to a sitting position, then running the ropes, and nailing a Springboard Low Dropkick to the sitting Tidus! Sora with the cover! 1...2...Kick out by Tidus!

"Sora with firm control here, and he's using the chance to well...show off. Runaway ego here." Church commented.

"He's just showing how better he is than Tidus, and how he can do thing so much better than him. It's not hard though." Sarge replied.

Sora stood up with a smirk on his face, now feeling things under his control. He picked up Tidus and wasted no time in whipping him into the corner, and readied himself as Tidus sumped against it. He ran, leaped at Tidus and held onto him...

...and MONKEY FLIP connects!

...

...NOT IT DOES NOT BECAUSE TIDUS ACTUALLY FLIPPED THROUGH IT MID-AIR AND LANDED ON HIS FEET!

"WHAT?! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! REPLAY THAT BECAUSE I KNOW TIDUS LANDED ON HIS BACK HORRIBLY! HE HAD TO!" Sarge shouted.

"NO HE DIDN'T! HE FLIPPED THROUGH IT! HE FLIPPED THROUGH THE MONKEY FLIP AND ONTO HIS FEET! HOW'S THAT FOR SHOWING OFF?!" Church questioned.

The crowd exploded into cheers at that as Sora got up in surprise, and Tidus simply BACKFLIPPED with his hands, WRAPPING his legs around Sora's head when upside down, and nailing an IMPRESSIVE Headscissors Takedown on him in one surprise motion! Sora rolled onto his feet but got met with a Dropkick that took him back down. Tidus then ran the ropes as Sora stumbled up and CAUGHT him with a Slingblade! Tidus then ran to the corner, quickly climbed up it, and in one fluid motion...

...

...NAILED A CORKSCREW MOONSAULT ON SORA!

"And Tidus just turned into a damn house of fire! Corkscrew Moonsault connects! And now for the cover!" Church called.

Tidus with the cover!

1...

...

2...

...

Sora kicks out!

"Dammit too close! What are you doing, Sora?! He's a BLUE! A BLUE! You know what that means!" Sarge questioned.

Tidus stood and grabbed Sora, picking him up AND GETTING A JUMPING KNEE SMASH TO THE JAW FOR HIS TROUBLE! Tidus fell back into the ropes, holding his jaw in pain as Sora fell to a knee, holding his hurt stomach. He managed to recover and ran at Tidus, but Tidus Back Dropped Sora over the ropes! Tidus turned around and got a leaping kick to the skull from the apron, backing up as a result. Sora then ran to the corner and climbed it up to the top AND GOT A ROPE-AIDED ENZIGURI TO THE SKULL! Sora was SENT OFF THE CORNER AND DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A SPLAT!

"OOOOOHH, Sora tried to fly, but he flew the DAMN WRONG WAY! Because I'm pretty sure no one wants to fly if there's a landing where you go SPLAT!" Church stated.

"GAH! NO! Damn you Tidus, may the Reds spite you! May the Reds forever spite you!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sora groaned in pain and Tidus saw his positioning and quickly rolled out of the ring on a side of it next to Sora's. He got an idea and prepared for it, backing up as Sora held his back in...waiting for it...

"Tidus, what are you planning?! I demand that you cease and desist now!" Sarge demanded.

...Sora stood...

...Tidus ran down ringside...

"I don't think he heard you...or more likely he doesn't care!" Church proclaimed.

...

...AND DIVED THROUGH CORNER TURNBUCKLES TOWARDS SORA, GRABBING HIS HEAD AND NAILING A TORNADO DDT OFF IT!

"OOOOHH SON OF A BITCH! TIDUS JUST RAN DOWN RINGSIDE AND DIVED THROUGH THE DAMN CORNER! HE DIVED THROUGH THE TURNBUCKLES JUST TO DDT SORA INTO OBLIVION! IF THIS IS A GAME OF ONE-UP, THAT WAS FOR THE STEEL STEPS EARLIER! HOLY SHIT!" Church shouted.

"AAAHHH DAMN YOU TIDUS! DAMN YOU! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?! DO YOU?! YOU HAVE SENTENCED TO A WORLD OF PAIN! YOU WILL PAY, TIDUS! PAAAAYYY!" Sarge exclaimed.

The crowd exploded, chanting "THAT WAS AWESOME!" once more as Sora was laid out and Tidus laid up, a massive grin on his face. He muttered "How's THAT for a move, Sora?" before slowly getting up and picking up his challenger, and throwing him into the ring. Tidus then slid back into the ring...quickly ran the ropes...

...

...and followed up with a SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! COVER!

"And SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! Perfectly executed! Sora may be out of it! The hook of the leg...!" Church called.

1...

...

2...

...

Sora kicks out just before three!

"HAH! You thought that would've been enough, huh?! HUH?! This is SORA! And he ain't falling to a dirtbag like you from a measly DDT!" Sarge proclaimed.

Tidus quickly got back to his feet, and stalked Sora around the ring, urging him to get up, wanting to put the final touch on this. Sora slowly stumbled up to his feet, dazed as he turned around...

"Well he may fall to this if it's what I think it is...!" Church called.

...

...and he DUCKED THE BLITZ KICK AT THE LAST SECOND! Tidus landed on his feet, and when he turned around, he got pushed into the ropes, and got caught with a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker-Tidus flipped out of it, and caught Sora with a Snap Arm Drag mid-move to take him down! Sora rolled onto his feet, got POPPED UP...

...

...AND SUDDENLY CAUGHT TIDUS ON THE WAY DOWN WITH A DOUBLE KNEE DROP, GARNERING A PIN AS A RESULT!

"OH! Tidus tried a pop-up, but only got Double Knees to the face on the way down! Maybe that's a response to the double knees Sora got earlier!" Church said.

"Sora's knees are better than Tidus', certified fact! And now Tidus..." Sarge began.

1...

...

2...

...

Tidus kicked out at 2.75!

"You Just Got...a KICKOUT?! Ah dammit, he's a persistent one. Oh well, that just means more pain for him from Sora! GIVE HIM MORE KNEES!" Sarge called.

Sora quickly rolled onto his feet and as Tidus slowly sat up from the surprise move, he ran and nailed a Shoot Kick to the back, causing a grimace on Tidus, who then received from a Sliding Forearm from a ropes-rebounding Sora to follow that up! Another cover! 1...2...Tidus kicks out of that as well! He quickly picks up Tidus and quickly throws him into the corner, then proceeded to lift him up and place him on the top turnbuckle. He then tried to climb up there with him...

...but Tidus suddenly lifted a leg and KICKED Sora in the jaw, forcing him off the corner and down to the mat. Sora nursed his jaw as Tidus quickly steadied himself on the top...

"Oh Sora wanted something big, but Tidus denied him there! Tidus about to fly...!" Church called.

...

...AND SORA SHOT UP AND LEAPED UPWARD, WRAPPING HIS LEGS AROUND TIDUS' HEAD TO HURRICANRANA HIM OFF TOP FROM THE MAT!

"OH NO HE WON'T! BECAUSE SORA JUST GAVE A SUPER HURRICANRANA FROM THE FLOOR! HAH! NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A CATCH OFF THE TOP! BETTER THAN GETTING KICKED OFF THE TOP TO THE FLOOR!" Sarge exclaimed.

"SORA SHOWING SOME DAMN AWESOME LEAPING ABILITY THERE! TIDUS CRASHING ONTO THE MAT HARD OFF THAT HURRICANRANA!" Church called.

Sora leaped over to Tidus and hooks the leg!

"And there's the cover! NOW Tidus..." Sarge began.

1...

...

2...

...

Tidus kicks out at 2.81!

"You Just Got-OH COME ON! What is with these Blues and kicking out?! Is it a habit they can't get rid of?!" Sarge questioned.

"No, people like Tidus just DON'T want to lose that much! Tidus not going to give up his title without a fight!" Church proclaimed.

Sora shook his head and grabbed Tidus' limbs dragging him over to the corner before he got on the apron and began climbing the corner. He stood tall on it, and looked down at Tidus and smirked.

"...But he may have no choice if Sora has his way. He's climbing up top, that can mean only one thing." Church stated.

"Yep, it's Kingdom Krash time! End it, Sora!" Sarge urged.

Sora sized up Tidus and simply said "See? Told you that anything you could do, I could do better." Sora chuckled before diving off...

...

...AND LANDS ON HIS TAILBONE AS TIDUS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE KINGDOM KRASH!

"Sora crashed alright, but NOT in the way he wanted! No, he crashed RIGHT onto his damn tailbone!" Church stated.

"Dammit, Tidus, why didn't you stay still?! Everyone would have liked you better then!" Sarge proclaimed.

Sora grimaced in pain as he sat on the mat, and Tidus quickly rolled onto his feet, backing up into an adjacent corner, readying himself before running...

...

...AND NAILING A THUNDEROUS SHOOT KICK TO THE SKULL OF SORA, THE SOUND ECHOING THROUGH THE STADIUM!

"OOOOOHHHH, I THINK THEY HEARD THAT ONE ALL THE WAY UP IN THE CHEAP SEATS! Tidus just DAMN NEAR kicked Sora's head straight to the moon!" Church shouted.

"You've been getting tips from behind our backs from Robin for that, weren't you?! YOU BASTARD!" Sarge shouted.

The crowd went "Oooohhh" at the kick damn near taking Sora's head off, Sora completely out of it as Tidus dragged him out of the corner and hooks a leg!

"Tidus hooking the leg! Sora may be out...!" Church called.

1...

...

2...

...

Sora kicks out at 2.89!

No, Sora actually kicks out! I don't know how, maybe it was instinct, but he managed to kick out!" Church called.

"He kicked out because he's SORA, and he's endorsed by the Reds! He ran on Red power and defied the odds!" Sarge replied.

Tidus wastes no time in picking up Sora, and pretty much hooked the head in a Front Headlock, before running towards the corner with Sora in tow, climbed up it, and SPUN AROUND...

...

...and Sora managed to PUSH off Tidus at the last second, the Champ landing on his feet before a bad landing got him! Sora held his head in a daze, still out from the shoot kick as Tidus ran at him, and SORA WENT FOR A SUPERKICK!

"SUPERKICK INCOMING!" Church called.

...but Tidus CAUGHT THE LEG! Tidus sighed in relief before throwing the leg away...and SORA SPUN AROUND IT FOR A DRAGON WHIP KICK...WHICH TIDUS DUCKED! Sora stopped with his back to Tidus who DROPKICKED him into the corner chest-first! Sora backed out of it, holding his chest...

...

...and Tidus suddenly leaped onto Sora's shoulders in an Electric Chair...and quickly rolled forward, garnering a Victory Roll Pin!

"Oh wait, Tidus with the Victory Roll to steal the victory!" Church called.

1...

...

2...

...

Sora suddenly rolls backwards, rolling Tidus into his OWN Victory Roll!

"Oh no, there's a Victory Roll for ya!" Sarge called.

1...

...

2...

...

Tidus kicks out, and the two scramble to their feet, and Tidus quickly gets him in a Sunset Flip Pin!

"No wait, Sunset Flip Pin...!" Church called quickly!

1...

...

2...

...

Sora rolls backwards and executes a Jackknife Pin!

"Ah, Jackknife Pin outta nowhere!" Sarge called in a snap.

1...

...

2...

...

Tidus rolls them both onto stomachs, and quickly grabs him into an Oklahoma Roll!

"Tidus-OKLAHOMA ROLL!" Church called in a hurry.

1...

...

2...

...

Sora rolled through and jumped over Tidus for a Crucifix Pin!

"CRUCIFIX! CRUCIFIX!" Sarge called.

1...

...

2...

...

Tidus rolls out of it in time and the two get to their feet JUST IN TIME FOR SORA TO EAT A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SKULL!

"OOHH! SORA EATING A ROUNDHOUSE!" Church called.

...

...only for Sora to spin around AND SUPERKICK TIDUS' HEAD OFF BEFORE COLLAPSING HIMSELF! The crowd STANDS on its feet, a massive ovation for the two downed wrestlers!

"SUPERKIIICCKKKK! THERE'S A KICK FOR YA! ...Oh fudgebuckets, I'm out of breath..." Sarge stated, indeed out of breath.

"Oh Good God, that was quick as hell, dammit almost wasn't able to call all of that." Church breathed out. "Damn, that's how much this title means to those two, they're willing to do everything they can to win. They're that determined...DON'T DO THAT AGAIN THOUGH!"

The crowd chanted "This is wrestling! This is wrestling!" as the two were laid out on the mat until Sora slowly began to stir, and he slowly made it up to his feet and grabbed Tidus by the hair and dragging him to his feet and Knife Edge Chopped him across the chest, earning a "Woo" from the crowd. Sora Chopped Tidus across the chest a few more times, pushing him into the ropes before Irish Whipping him...

...

...but Tidus quickly spun through the Irish Whip, pulling Sora into an OLYMPIC SLAM STRAIGHT TO THE MAT!

"OLYMPIC SLAM! Right down to the mat HARD! Sora never saw it coming!" Church called.

Tidus quickly hooks both legs!

"Dammit, I hate to say it, but Sora..." Sarge began.

1...

...

2...

Sora kicks out at 2.87!

"You Just Got a NEW SET OF LIVES FOR YOURSELF! Sora kicks out all the way for the Reds!" Sarge exclaimed.

Tidus groaned and rolled away from Sora before standing up to his feet and waiting for Sora to stand, and when the Keyblade Wielder did, he ran and nailed a Running Dropkick to Sora, sending him into the corner hard, causing him to drop to a seated position in it! Tidus then ran to the corner, and grabbed the ropes, pushing himself up for a Rope-Aided Corner Dropkick...

...

...and Sora STOOD UP AND CAUGHT TIDUS ON HIS SHOULDER AS HE CAME DOWN! Tidus' eyes widened as he flailed about, trying to grab the ropes but Sora went over to the center of the ring with him...

"OH DAMN, TIDUS GOT CAUGHT! TIDUS GOT CAUGHT...!" Church exclaimed.

...

...AND GAVE HIM A FIREMAN'S CARRY NECKBREAKER ACROSS THE KNEE!

"And there goes Tidus' NECK! Like he ever needed it anyway...or we needed him at all...YEAH, BREAK NECK BREAK!" Sarge cheered.

"..What is wrong with you?" Church questioned.

Sora with the cover on Tidus, hooking both legs!

"Nothing at all, dirtbag. And Tidus..." Sarge began.

...

2...

...

Tidus kicks out at 2.91!

"You Just Got-" Sarge then saw the kickout. "Well that's just a disappointment right there."

"Yeah, well get used to it, Tidus ain't going down so easily, if this match is any indication." Church stated.

Sora sighed and shook his head before pretty much picking up Tidus onto his feet by the waist, grabbing him from behind...

...lifting him...

...

...and Tidus BACKFLIPS out of the Sonic Blade attempt by Sora! Sora turned around and got LIFTED into a Fireman's Carry HIMSELF...

"Oh wait, Tidus has Sora up in a Fireman's Carry himself! Not the Sonic Blade Sora planned!" Church called.

...

...and then DROPPED HIM INTO AN OVERHEAD KICK, DAMN NEAR KICKING HIS BRAINS OUT!

"OOOHHH, THERE'S AN ANSWER TO THAT FIREMAN'S CARRY NECKBREAKER EARLIER! GETTING THROWN INTO A KICK TO SCRAMBLE YOUR BRAINS! I THINK TIDUS IS LIKING KICKING SORA IN THE SKULL!" Church called.

"DAMMIT STOP KICKING SORA IN THE HEAD! HIS HEAD IS BETTER THAN YOURS!" Sarge exclaimed.

Sora stood LIMP upon getting his head kicked like that before falling like a sack of hammers, rolling out of the ring as he did so to the outside. Tidus saw what happened and groaned, cursing his luck that Sora rolled out...until an idea appeared in his head and he smirked. He stood and waited for Sora, waiting for him to regain consciousness...

"Sora rolled out of the ring to avoid the pin, but I think Tidus is about to adjust...!" Church called.

...

...and after a few seconds Sora DID, and slowly stood to his feet...

...

...when he did, Tidus ran the ropes...

"No, no, no, no running the ropes! I HATE RUNNING THE ROPES!" Sarge called.

...

...and DIVED THROUGH THEM...

"Tidus GONNA FLY...!" Church called.

...

...AND SORA CATCHES HIM MID-SUICIDE DIVE WITH A JUMPING DDT, DRILLING HIS HEAD INTO THE GROUND WITH ALL THAT MOMENTUM!

"OH SON OF A BITCH! OH MY GOD! DID SORA JUST...?! SHIT, SORA CAUGHT TIDUS IN MID-AIR! IN FREAKIN' MID-AIR TO DRIVE HIM DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH THAT DDT! GOOD GOD, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF TIDUS HAD A CONCUSSION!" Church shouted.

"NOT SO FUN FLYING NOW, HUH?! YOU FLEW RIGHT INTO THAT ONE, TIDUS! RIGHT THERE! FLEW INTO UNCONSCIOUS VILLE! AND YOU BELONG THERE! YOU ALWAYS DO! BECAUSE THE REDS SAID SO!" Sarge exclaimed.

The crowd popped at that move, going "OOOOHHHHHH!" as Tidus was absolutely IMMOBILE upon receiving that move on the outside. Sora laid on the ground next to him, still woozy from the kick he received earlier. After a few moments, Sora slowly began to move, standing to his feet and holding his head. He looked down at Tidus...and SMIRKED cockily, as if admiring his work before grabbing and lifting the body of Tidus and throwing him into the ring, the Champ still unmoving.

"Tidus is OUT COLD. That is not surprising considering what he just took, he's practically LIMP after getting planted on padded concrete!" Church called.

"Which means it's only a matter of time, everything is just a formality at this point!" Sarge stated.

Sora slid into the ring himself, slowly crawling to Tidus, and hooks the leg with a cocky smirk!

"And now I say with confidence, Tidus..." Sarge began.

TIDUS KICKS OUT AT 2.99!

"You Just Got-WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! HE DID NOT KICK OUT! HE DID NOT KICK OUT! HE COULDN'T HAVE! NOT AFTER ALL THAT! NO WAY!" Sarge exclaimed.

"OH HE DID! YOU CAN REPLAY IT SEVERAL TIMES OVER, IT'S GONNA BE THE SAME THING! I DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT TIDUS KICKED OUT! TIDUS REFUSING TO GIVE UP HIS TITLE! TIDUS REFUSING TO ADMIT SORA IS BETTER!" Church shouted.

Sora was STUNNED at the kickout and made sure to ask Newman if that was the case, and he maintained it was two! Sora couldn't believe it! Sora held his hair and shook his head, slamming a hand onto the mat in frustration...until something clicked into his head...and a smirk came back onto his face. He knew just what to do...as Sora stood and backed up...and READIED HIS LEG...

"I don't know how he kicked out, but Sora's livid and-oooohhh, is he going for what I think he is going for?!" Church questioned.

"Oh he is, and this is perfect justice right here! This is gonna be DELICIOUS!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Well he always did say anything Tidus could, he could do better, and that INCLUDES his finisher! Gonna win with an ULTIMATE insult!" Church stated.

Sora urged Tidus to get up, shouting "Come on, Tidus! Come on! Gotta show I can do your finisher better than YOU!" Sora continued to urge Tidus, and the Champ began to stir, so out of it as he tried to figure out where he was...and slowly, but surely, he stood, much to Sora's happiness...

...

...and Tidus stood tall, turning around dazed...

"Tidus willing himself to stand, but that may be a mistake!" Church proclaimed.

...

...and Sora spun towards Tidus...

"Yeah, because time to say goodbye to his head!" Sarge stated.

...

...AND TIDUS CAUGHT SORA MID-BLITZ KICK WITH A GAMENGIRI TO THE FACE!

"NO! No Blitz Kick for Sora because he just got GAMENGIRI'D in the damn face! Tidus caught Sora out of the corner of his eye! This could be the opening he needs!" Church exclaimed.

"No, it's not! No it's definitely not! Tidus just got lucky is all, and it's time for him to get hurt once more once Sora recovers! Mark my words!" Sarge proclaimed.

Sora was down off that, holding his face in pain as Tidus recovered on the ground. Eventually, the two slowly stood up to their feet, with Tidus getting to his first, and then Sora tried to throw a right, but Tidus ducked it and nailed a Sitout Jawbreaker! Sora was stunned on his feet, and Tidus quickly nailed a few forearms to the face, before going for an Irish Whip, but Sora reverses with one of his own. Challenger bends down for a Back Body Drop, but Tidus bounces back and practically backflips over Sora as he's bent over. Surprised, Sora turns around only to get a VICIOUS Enziguri to the skull! Sora was dazed on his feet, and the FFX Protag quickly ran and leaped at the ropes and nailed a Springboard Crossbody on Sora! Tidus then rolled off Sora and onto his feet, and quickly followed it up with a Standing Moonsault! Cover! 1...2...Sora kicks out!

"What was that about marking your words, Sarge? Because all I'm seeing is Tidus kicking some ass! The Champion with some serious momentum on his side!" Church called.

"Abort, Sora! Abort! Get out of there, so the Reds can win this day! We can't have Tidus winning, it may give them too much at this point!" Sarge exclaimed.

Tidus quickly picks up Sora to his feet, and Irish Whipped him into the corner, then ran at Sora...but the Keyblade Wielder managed to lift his feet up to catch Tidus in the jaw, backing him up! Sora then lifted himself up to the second turnbuckle, and dived off...

"Oh Sora with the feet to the jaw! Now he's flying high!" Church called.

...

...and Tidus ducked Sora, and the Keyblade Wielder landed and rolled through, getting up to his feet before turning around and DUCKING A BLITZ KICK OUT OF NOWHERE! Tidus landed on his feet, but then Sora grabbed him from behind and LIFTED HIM...

"Oh yeah, SONIC BLADE TIME! Slice him up into pieces!" Sarge cheered.

...

...Tidus suddenly elbowed him in the face upon being lifted Belly-to-Back style, and dropped back down...

...

...and suddenly grasped Sora's head as he did so in a Three-Quarter Facelock, ran towards the corner with him...

"Tidus has Sora, Tidus has Sora in his grasp!" Church called.

...

...AND QUICKLY NAILED A SLICED BREAD NO. 2 ON SORA OFF THE CORNER!

"SLICED BREAD NO. 2! SHIRANUI OFF THE CORNER! PICTURE PERFECT! And you know what?! I think that was a shoutout to certain Summoner girlfriend of his in XCW! A Grand Summon if you will!" Church proclaimed.

"Yeah, well, I DON'T WANT THE GRAND SUMMON! It sucks, and it's overhyped! GET IT AWAY FROM SORA, NO!" Sarge shouted.

Tidus quickly grabs the legs to hook the cover!

"Too late, Sarge! The hook of the legs, Tidus has Sora!" Church called.

...

SORA KICKS OUT AT 2.94!

"OH! Sora kicked out! At the last second, he kicked out! Dammit, what the hell is it going to take?!" Church questioned.

"NOTHING! Because Sora's winning! Because I said so! And what I say is fact, especially in this match!" Sarge proclaimed.

"No, it's not, you dumbass! Shut up for once!" Church replied.

Tidus can't believe it as he checks with Newman to make sure it's two, and the ref maintains his count, and Tidus runs his hand through his hair, wondering what he has to do. Tidus sighed and simply grabbed Sora by the hair and slowly pulled him up AND SORA SUDDENLY THROWS HIM INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE THROAT-FIRST! Tidus holds his throat in pain as he hangs across the middle rope before slowly standing up, still holding said throat...

...

...AND A SECOND POISONED FRANKENSTEINER DENIED! Tidus held onto the ropes, causing the move to not go through as Sora landed square on his stomach! The Keyblade Wielder stumbled to his feet, and Tidus quickly runs and wraps his legs around Sora's head, and spins himself around his body...

...

...and Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors DOES NOT GO THROUGH! SORA HELD ONTO TIDUS AS HE WENT FOR THE HEADSCISSORS PART UPSIDE DOWN!

"OH NO...that may have not been the smartest move on Tidus part! Because Sora's has hold of Tidus in the worst way!" Church called.

"Worst way for Tidus, best way for Sora and the Reds! NOW DROP HIM SORA!" Sarge urged.

Sora held Tidus upside down in an almost Tombstone-like position, and Tidus flailed about, trying to get out of it, but Sora held on...and actually STEPPED over both of his arms...

...

...AND NAILED A BELLY-TO-BACK MAT SLAM, PRACTICALLY A REVERSE STYLES CLASH!

"AND SORA PLANTS WITH WHAT SEEMED TO BE A REVERSE STYLES CLASH! HELL, I THINK I KNOW THAT MOVE! THAT MOVE WAS THE MOVE OF HIS GIRLFRIEND, KAIRI, OF WND! ONCE AGAIN ONE-UPPING TIDUS AND SAYING HE CAN DO HIS GIRLFRIEND'S FINISHER BETTER! IT NEVER ENDS!" Church called.

"LOOKS LIKE SUCH AN UNCHAINED MELODY WAS TOO MUCH FOR TIDUS' POOR LITTLE EARS! ALONG WITH THE REST OF HIS BODY! JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT! SORA ALWAYS OUTSHINES IN THE END!" Sarge shouted.

Sora sat on Tidus, hooking a leg from his position with a tired smirk!

"And now Tidus..." Sarge began.

...

2...

...

TIDUS KICKS OUT AT 2.945!

"You Just Got-WHAT?! OH DAMMIT, COME ON! Why won't you stay down, Tidus?! Another damn kick out! What it's gonna take?!" Sarge questioned.

"I think Sora's wondering that exact thing right now! He wants that title so badly, but Tidus just won't give it up! What WILL it take?!" Church asked.

Sora was in complete disbelief, as he laid right next to Tidus and ran his hand through his hair, wondering what EXACTLY he had to do to win this match! Sora shook his head before standing up to his feet, and grabbing at Tidus' leg, trying for the Key-Shooter...

"Wait, I think the answer may be in the form of the Key-Shooter finally!" Church called.

...

...but Tidus struggled against the hold, not wanting it to go through, even KICKING at Sora's face, but the Keyblade Wielder held onto the legs, and put one leg between them...

...

...AND TIDUS SUDDENLY ROLLS SORA INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!

"No wait, SMALL PACKAGE BY TIDUS! ROLL-UP!' Church called.

1...

...

2...

...

Sora KICKS OUT BEFORE THREE! And the two scramble to their feet, and Sora goes for a Clothesline, but Tidus ducks it and leaps at the ropes, and Springboards off them...

...

...and Springboard Back Elbow CAUGHT BY SORA IN MID-AIR! Tidus' eyes widened as he's lifted fully AND PLANTED WITH THE SONIC BLADE WITH AUTHORITY!

"HAHA, not so fun flying NOW, is it?! Because you are now in tiny little pieces after THAT! That's what you get for being a dirty Blue, dirtbag!" Sarge proclaimed.

"Sora SNATCHED Tidus out of the air and planted him with a THUNDEROUS Sonic Blade! All in one motion no less!" Church called.

Sora wastes no time in hooking the leg!

"And now Tidus..." Sarge began.

1...

...

2...

...

TIDUS KICKS OUT AT 2.973!

"You Just Got S-WHAT?! OH COME ON! Do you ALWAYS have to kick out?! What is it about kicking out you like so much?! It's not that great I tell ya!" Sarge shouted.

"Tidus again surviving, managing to keep his title with him at all costs! But how much more he can take?! Tidus has taken a lot throughout this match!" Church called.

Sora held his hair in frustration, wondering what he had to do to keep Tidus down. He shook his head and grabbed Tidus by the hair and dragged him to his feet. He then proceeded to lift him into a Fireman's Carry and-could not do anything as Tidus ELBOWED the head of Sora repeatedly! Sora tried to hold on, but one hard elbow forced him to let go of Tidus, the Champ dropping down behind Sora! Tidus then jumped up at Sora...

...

...and Jumping Reverse Bulldog DENIED! For Sora had bent forward and THROWN Tidus over his shoulders and to the mat! The Champ rolled to his feet, and managed to DUCK an attempted Spinning Heel Kick from Sora! The Keyblade Wielder turned around, and got a surprise Dropkick to the knees, forcing him down to a knee! This allowed Tidus to grab him and then Irish Whip him to the corner, Tidus running after him...

...

...but when Sora reached the corner, he actually CLIMBED IT, and BACKFLIPPED OFF IT...

"Woah, Sora BACKFLIPPING off the top of the corner! He's actually doing that!" Church called.

...

...and LANDED on his feet JUST TO IMMEDIATELY GET A SPRINGBOARD CUTTER OFF THE CORNER FROM TIDUS!

"Of course, he is, and with a perfect land-WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SEE?!" Sarge questioned.

"YOU JUST SAW TIDUS PLANTING SORA OUTTA FREAKIN' NOWHERE! SPRINGBOARD CUTTER OUT OF THE CORNER THE MOMENT SORA BACKFLIPPED OFF IT! HE READ SORA LIKE A BOOK, AND GOT IT ALL!" Church exclaimed.

Sora was laid out as Tidus jumped onto him and hooks the leg!

"THE COVER!" Church called.

"Dammit, I hate to say it, but Sora..." Sarge began.

...

SORA KICKS OUT AT 2.999!

"You Just Got A NEW BREATH OF LIFE BECAUSE YOU KICKED OUT! YES! Now take that new breath of life and DESTROY Tidus!" Sarge urged.

"Sora kicks out at the LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! He's survived to keep his chance at winning the title! Jesus Chris, what's it gonna take for EITHER of these guys to lose?!" Church exclaimed.

Tidus just fell down to the mat holding his head, exhausted and frustrated at this point. He thought for sure he had it there, but Sora denied him, what did he have to do? He sat up, and looked down at Sora with a look of exasperation, and he just knew what he had to do at that point. He nodded, and stood, backing up a bit...and urged Sora to get up, signaling for what he wanted.

"Oh, it may take a Blitz Kick as that's what Tidus is signaling for! He hits that, it's all over!" Church proclaimed.

"No, Sora, don't get up! Bad thing await you! Very bad things!" Sarge exclaimed.

Tidus continued to urge Sora up, stalking his challenger, and Sora eventually rolled onto his stomach and tried to push himself onto his feet. Tidus got antsy, feeling it coming...and eventually Sora stood to his feet, holding his face, and turned around...

...and Tidus spun towards Sora...

"No, Sora, TURN AWAY!" Sarge begged.

"TOO LATE...!" Church stated.

...

...AND SORA CAUGHT THE BLITZ KICK! Tidus' dropped onto the mat on his back as Sora held his leg, who then grabbed his other leg...

"BLITZ KICK CAUGHT! BLITZ KICK CAUGHT! He's got the legs!" Church called.

...

...and tied them between HIS LEG...TURNED HIM OVER...

...

...AND LOCKS IN THE KEY-SHOOTER!

"KEY-SHOOTER! KEY-SHOOTER LOCKED IN FULLY, AND TIDUS HAS NOWHERE TO GO! SORA HAS TIDUS IN THE WORST HOLD POSSIBLE, AND IT MAY ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME!" Church called.

"TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP! TAP YOUR DIRTBAG, AND ADMIT YOUR INFERIORITY!" Sarge shouted.

Tidus cried in agony and clawed at the mat, feeling the pain of the Key-Shooter shoot from him as he tried to resist it! Sora pulled on the Key-Shooter as much as he possibly could, knowing this was his best chance! Tidus pulled his hair to try and cope with the pain as Newman asked if he wanted to tap, but Tidus shook his head that he wanted no such thing. Sora replied with only pulling on the Key-Shooter even MORE causing even MORE pain to Tidus! Knowing he was in dire straits, he looked towards the ropes and tried to crawl to it!

"Tidus, TRYING to crawl to the ropes to force the break! The pain he's in must be excruciating!" Church called.

"Yes, which is why he should give up! GIVE UP DAMMIT! I HATE IT WHEN YOU DON'T!

Tidus slowly but surely crawled towards the ropes, dragging Sora the whole way who kept pulling at the hold more and more! Tidus' face contorted in agony, but he kept pressing forward...

...

...he reached out towards the ropes...

"Tidus, SO CLOSE...! He's nearly there...!" Church called.

...

...AND GOT PULLED BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING BY SORA!

"NOOOO, SORA PULLED HIM AWAY! HE PULLED HIM BACK! AND NOW HE'S RETIGHTENED THE HOLD! TIDUS' ONLY CHANCE MAY HAVE LEFT HIM!" Church shouted.

"YES! GOOD JOB, SORA! NOW TAP, DIRTBAG! STOP MAKING US WAIT AND TAP SO WE CAN BE SPARED YOUR REIGN!" Sarge demanded.

Tidus cried out in pure agony, BITING down on his finger to try and keep him from tapping, but Sora only increased the hold's pain on him, shouting at Tidus to tap out! The Champ slammed a fist onto the mat, pain becoming almost unbearable...

...

...and he raised a HAND...

"Oh...oh! Tidus has the hand up! The pain from the Key-Shooter...!" Church pointed out.

...

...it SHOOK in the air...

"OH OH OH...! IS HE GONNA...?!" Sarge questioned.

...

...AND TIDUS CLENCHES IT AND SLAMS IT DOWN BEFORE TRYING TO CRAWL TO THE ROPES AGAIN!

"NO, TIDUS DOESN'T TAP! I REPEAT, TIDUS DOESN'T TAP! NOT LIKE THAT! HE'S TRYING FOR THE ROPES AGAIN! BUT I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN LAST THAT LONG!" Church shouted.

"DAMMIT, YOU DIRTBAGS, WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS FIGHT?! JUST QUIT ALREADY! I'M HATING YOU THAT MUCH MORE FOR THIS! AND I ALREADY HATED YOU PLENTY!" Sarge shouted.

Tidus kept crawling and crawling, pulling himself through sheer will despite the pain towards the ropes, all while Sora tightened the hold as much as possible! All to get him to tap here and now! Tidus kept crawling and crawling...

"Sora's putting as much torque as he can into the Key-Shooter, but Tidus STILL pushing forward!" Church called.

...

...and he reached towards the ropes...

"No, no, no, DO NOT GET THOSE ROPES! DO NOT GET THEM!" Sarge begged.

...

...just INCHES away...

"He's SO CLOSE! CAN HE?!" Church asked.

...

...it SHOOK...

...

...AND HE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE TO FORCE THE BREAK!

"HE GOT IT! HE GOT IT! I DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT HE ACTUALLY GOT THE BOTTOM ROPE! AFTER GOD KNOWS HOW LONG, HE ESCAPES THE KEY-SHOOTER!" Church shouted.

"DAMMIT! DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT! WHY WON'T YOU JUST GET SARGE'D AND BE IRRELEVANT LIKE GRIF IS, WHERE YOU BELONG?!" Sarge questioned.

"But the DAMAGE may have been DONE! He was in there for a hell of a LONG time! How much more does Tidus have LEFT?!" Church asked.

Newman went over to Sora to get him to break the hold, but Sora held on, and the ref counted the break! 1...2...3...4...Sora let go of the Key-Shooter at the LAST SECOND, standing up with a frustrated look on his face at Tidus surviving! The Champ himself, upon being let go, dragged his body through the ropes and onto the apron, presumably as a way of getting some rest. Sora shook his head, annoyed so much that he wanted to end this before going over to the ropes, seeing Tidus, and reaching over them to grab Tidus by the hair and slowly drag him up to his feet...

"Alright, fine, Sora can just take advantage of what he did, and finish him off! He's easy pickings now!" Sarge proclaimed.

...

...and Tidus suddenly nailed a HEADBUTT to the skull of Sora, surprising him! Sora held his head as Tidus held onto the ropes before turning to him, but got a ROPE-AIDED HIGH KICK TO THE SKULL!

"OH! Not ENOUGH easy pickings it seems! Hurt or not, Tidus got enough fight left to KICK Sora in the skull! I think it may be a favorite pastime of his at this point!" Church stated.

"Well, NOT MINE! STOP KICKING SORA! NO ONE LIKES IT!" Sarge shouted.

Sora backed up a bit, holding his now aching head as Tidus pulled himself up to his feet on the apron with the ropes, ignoring the pain in him. He then grabbed the ropes...and leaped up onto the ropes ONLY TO GET A JUMPING KNEE SMASH TO THE JAW THE MOMENT HE TRIED TO LEAP UP!

"DAMN! Sora CAUGHT Tidus with that knee the moment he tried to Springboard! Sora reading Tidus like a BOOK and damn near broke the jaw!" Church proclaimed.

"YEAH! That's what I'm talking about! Break his jaw! He needs his teeth rearranged anyways!" Sarge stated.

Tidus dropped down onto the apron, lying on it as he held his jaw in pain, and Sora reached over and grabbed him once more to lift him to his feet. Once Tidus was up, he grabbed his head, and threw his arm over his own head...and lifted him Suplex-style over the ropes...

"Sora about to Suplex Tidus back into the ring, or maybe something worse!" Church called.

...

...and suddenly Tidus KNEED Sora in the skull when he was upside down above him! Sora was surprised, but kept getting the knees to the skull repeatedly OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

"KNEES! Tidus KNEEING Sora in the skull as he's held up! Some payback for all those knees he's taken before, trying to get out of this!" Church stated.

"Don't let go, Sora! DON'T LET GO! Those knees are PUTTY compared to yours!" Sarge stated.

Sora tried to hold onto Tidus to make sure he hit his move, but the knees kept coming from above, and then one final knee to force Sora to drop Tidus back over the ropes WHO HOT-SHOTTED SORA AGAINST THE ROPES AS HE DID SO! Sora backed up away from the ropes, holding his throat in pain whille Tidus backed up across the apron as a result of his move. Eventually, Sora rubbed his throat and with a growl turned around and walked over to Tidus on the apron...

...

...AND GOT A BLITZ KICK FROM ACROSS THE APRON TO THE SKULL!

"OH SHIT! BLITZ KICK! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?! TIDUS NAILING THE BLITZ KICK OUTTA NOWHERE FROM THE APRON THE MOMENT SORA TRIED TO REACH FOR HIM OVER THE ROPES! TIDUS FINALLY GOT IT! TIDUS FINALLY KICKED SORA AS HARD AS HE COULD!" Church shouted.

"NOOOOOOOO! NOT LIKE THIS! NOT LIKE THIS! SORA GET UP! IT'S JUST A STUPID TAP FROM A BUM LEG! HE COULDN'T HURT YOU IF HE TRIED! SORA, NO!" Sarge shouted.

Sora spun around from the impact and fell to the mat face-first, almost out of it, while Tidus fell down on the apron his backside, using the ropes to make sure he stays on it. Tidus panted while sitting on the apron, exhausted as hell before slowly pulling himself up on the apron and standing on it. He turned around and saw Sora down...and before he could go in...he GOT AN IDEA. An idea that he was sure to be as definitive as definitive could be...he grasped the ropes...and waited for Sora to get up...

"And Tidus...is NOT going for the cover?! He's not getting off the apron..." Church muttered.

"What the hell is he thinking?! I want to be happy he's not pinning...but something is tell me I shouldn't..." Sarge stated.

"Tidus has something in mind, something BIG!" Church said.

Eventually, Sora did come to, but was so out of it that he could only flail a bit as he tried to stand up to his feet. Tidus took a deep breath as he saw Sora stumbled in a massive daze to his feet before spinning around...

...

...and Tidus took that as the cue to LEAP onto the top rope, actually SPINNING his body so that his back was to Sora when he got on the ropes...

"What in the HELL?!" Church stated.

...

...SPRINGBOARD off the ropes, spinning his body towards Sora once more as a result...

...

...GRABBED the head of Sora and spun with him once more...

...

...AND NAILED A 720 DDT TO SORA, SPIKING SORA ON HIS HEAD WITH ALL THAT MOMENTUM!

"OH SON OF A BITCH! TIDUS...HE...OH SHIT HE HIT A 720 DDT! A 720 DDT OF ALL THINGS ON SORA! TIDUS WANTED TO ONE-UP SORA IN THE BIGGEST FASHION, AND I DON'T THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT! 720 DDT FULL FLUSH, SORA SPIKED ON HIS DAMN HEAD!" Church shouted.

"WHAT?! NO, NOT THAT MOVE! ANYTHING BUT THAT MOVE! IT LOOKS COOL AS HELL, BUT NOT ON SORA! IT JUST LOOKS LIKE DOOM! NOOOOOO! DAMN YOU TIDUS!" Sarge exclaimed.

The crowd EXPLODED at the move as Sora's head bounced off the mat and he bounced into a sitting position before falling to the mat, completely KO'd! The crowd chanted "HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!" as Tidus wasted no time in hooking the leg, hoping to God this was it!

"And Tidus wasting no time in hooking the leg! He's got Sora covered!" Church proclaimed.

"DAMMIT, SORA, interrupt me before I finish this... Sora..." Sarge began.

1...

...

2...

...

"You Just Got Sarge'd! ...DAMMIT!" Sarge cursed.

"IT'S ALL OVER! TIDUS BEATS SORA! TIDUS RETAINS THE TITLE!" Church called.

Keep your hopes up high and your head down low.

Still got something left to prove.

It tends to keep things movin.

While everyone around me

Says my last days are looming

Overhead but what the hell

Do they think they know?

My head's above the water

While they drown in the undertow.

("All I Want" by A Day To Remember)

"Here is your winner...and STILL UCA Cruiserweight Champion of the World...TIIIIDDUUUUSSSS!" Cait Sith announced.

Tidus rolled off of Sora, lying on the ground as he was exhausted from the match he just went through, all while the crowd stood and clapped in appreciation for the great match they just saw from the Cruiserweight Division. Eventually, Newman walked over to Tidus and laid his title belt over his body, and Tidus pretty much hugged it to his chest, as the reality of what he managed to do sets in. He slowly sits up, and Matt Newman helps him onto his feet, and when he's up, looks around at the cheering crowd, then closes his eyes as he takes it all in...then grins as he raises his title up high for all to see, Matt raising his hand in victory as the crowd, the Champ shouting "YEAH! That's what I'm talking about!"

"Tidus DID IT! In a match that was high-flying action all the way, and defined the rivalry of 1-up that these two have gone through, Tidus comes out on top! With a perfect 720 DDT, he outshined Sora and proved that Tidus the Champ is here to stay! This match was SOMETHING ELSE!" Church admitted.

"Yeah, but WHO CARES?! Sora LOST! Do you know what that means?! That means we have to deal with Tidus EVEN LONGER! DAMMIT ALL! This wasn't the plan! This was supposed to be Sora's night! Why do the Reds keep losing?! WHHHHYYYY?!" Sarge cried out.

"SHUT UP SARGE! Anyways, Tidus went through hell to get here, but he pulled it off! He survived Pride & Glory, and he survived tonight! If anybody had any doubts about him, save it now, especially after a performance like this!" Church called.

Tidus pulled away from the ref and walked over to the corner, leaning against it in exhaustion before slowly climbing it, then raising his title high once more. The crowd cheered loudly, chanting "Tidus! Tidus! Tidus!" and the FFX Protag grinned widely before looking down at the camera and said into it "See this, old man?! I'm getting closer to you every day, and soon enough, you'll be eating MY dust!" He then got off the corner, and dropped down, sliding out of the ring before making his way up the ramp. Shouldering his title with a tired, but satisfied grin, he walked up the ramp before looking back at the ring...and saw Sora coming to, leaning against the bottom rope, holding his head as he looked at Tidus on the ramp...who smirked, and held up a finger, saying "Looks like the final 1-up is mine, Sora. Sorry about that." And with that, Sora STEWED, glaring at Tidus, so much going through his mind...

...all while Robin watched the scene from backstage on a nearby TV, arms crossed as he had his eyes on it all with intrigue.

"Sora is NOT a happy camper, and I don't know if he's going to let this one go or not, but on this night, Tidus is the one coming out on top! He's the one who got the final one-up, whether he likes it or not! Tidus retains...and may have more challengers coming his way soon! The Cruiserweight Division is going to get exciting soon!" Church proclaimed.

"Dammit, I wanted Sora to win SO BADLY! He's better than Tidus at least! I hope whoever challenges you next, and not Robin who we just saw on the Tron! It better not be!" Sarge stated.

"Either way, Tidus is STILL your Cruiserweight Champion, and people, Tidus is one to watch out for! And I doubt he's going to stop his roll any time soon!" Church stated.

The last scene we see is of Tidus raising his Cruiserweight Title up into the air for everyone to see, taking the moment in as he grinned, and actually gave out a laugh at the whole scene before making his way to the back, the scene switching to the back...

"Hey everybody! It's me, Franklin Delano Donut! And I'm happy to say that the match had definitely unloaded EVERYTHING it had, and everybody HAD to have enjoyed it!" Donut stated with a mic in the backstage area...not aware of his innuendo at all. "And guess what? I have an interview! And with who else...but this girl! Please welcome the former World Champion herself, SAMUS ARAN!"

The crowd booed loudly as Samus made her way into sight, a very serious expression on her face, almost reminiscent of her usual deal in Metroid, as Donut seemed oblivious to this!

"Hey, how it's going, Samus? Man, you seem to be looking very serious today! Hey, I know, I got crumpets with some of my dolls! You know...tough stuff! Now how about we go out and-" Donut was interrupted by Samus.

"I have no time for your idiocy, now how about you ask me that question of yours, or I shove my foot up your ass for practice." Samus stated, very much in the zone as far as fighting goes.

"...Sheesh, got too much bottled up? Definitely need to let it go." Donut said...yet again, not aware of the innuendo. "Soooo...your match with Tex is up next! And I REMEMBER the scars I have from her...after I blew her up...she was NOT happy about that. It's a dream match though! Female World Champion vs. Female Rumble Winner! Any thoughts before you head out the-"

Donut is once again interrupted by the fact that Samus yanked the mic away from Donut, and simply shoved him away to stare at the camera.

"My thoughts? ...Here are MY THOUGHTS on this match and Tex... I heard about that little speech you did awhile, how you "put me down"..." Samus made sure to use air marks on the last few words. "Well here's my words on that...that little thing you brought up about Angel and Azula? How I'm not the "first" Female World Champion? Let me remind you, which of the three of us has an FWA for Female of the Year for the reign she had? Which of the three of us is the most famous of us all? Which of the three of us created an impact so large, it sent shockwaves throughout all of women's wrestling and is still talked about TO THIS DAY! You see...they couldn't compare. They got their little title wins...and when it was done, nobody remembered or gave a damn. While I...I changed EVERYTHING. I changed EVERYTHING...unlike YOU."

"See...I have more than the World Title to my name. XCF, WWL, CASZ, WWE...my careers there show that I am a FORCE to be reckoned with. Now...you're damn good. I'll admit it...you can be someone to fear...but I'm not scared. You beat up Moon, good for you. SO DID I! Hell I ENDED her historic year-long reign as Champion! Pretty much better than what YOU did when it came to her! Hell...while I changed the face of women's wrestling...you just won one Royal Rumble...and that's it. That's ALL you got a name to that can be considered historic. You're good, Tex...but YOU'RE NOT BETTER! I AM. I am BETTER than you in every way, and I'm tired of the lies the people spout because they worship the ground you walk on, or fear where you tread... And if I can't convince them through words...then I'll convince them by beating the LIVING CRAP out of you. I'm gonna be the one that ends you for good."

"Because at the end of the day...you have faced a lot of people before, and you have destroyed them all..." Samus leaned hard into the camera. "...BUT I'M NOT THEM. AND YOU'RE THE TIGER FACING A DRAGON. And this dragon...is going to EAT YOU ALIVE. THEN...we can see how much people fear you now. Like I said...you're NOTHING compared to me."

Samus then SHOVED the mic into Donut's hand once more and simply said...

"And you can watch it as I show it to you in such convincing fashion. YOU'RE WELCOME." Samus smirked before walking away.

Donut watched Samus walk off with a confident stride, and Donut simply said...

"You know...remembering Tex back then...and how she was just now...I'm not sure who to cheer for. DO I have anyone to root for?" Donut rubbed his head in confusion, trying to figure this out.
