Opening Segment: Force the Fox's Massive Announcements
Force the Fox was in the middle of the ring, with something covered in cloth in the middle of the ring. He had an excited grin on his face as he had a mic on his hand, looking out towards the crowd.
"Hey ya'll, how are you all doing?" Force asked, receiving loud cheers in response. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Welcome everyone to Monday Night Flame! Now I know I don't usually open the show, but when I do, it means I have something big to say. And I've got PLENTY to say tonight, so buckle up! First off...I'm here to announce that ten days from now, on a Thursday...UCA will finally be hosting it's FIRST-EVER SUPERSHOW! Known simply as...The Post-Clash Bash!"
The crowd exploded at this news as Force smirked. "Four companies, six brands in total. All taking part with UCA for this momentous event! WWE: Animated and WCW: Showdown...XCW...DFWF...and GAIA. These are the companies that will take place, and we have a HUGE card in store for you! After much deliberation between the companies, I bring to you...the ten matches for this show!'
"FIRST OFF...we've got a grudge match! Scourge the Hedgehog taking on WWE's Tommy Oliver, wanting vengeance for what happened at Pride & Glory!" Force announced. "Next, we have Juliet Starling of GAIA, taking on Samus Aran, who stole the Best of the Best victory right from under her nose at Cold War! FWF's HABIT the Rabbit, their resident evil, takes on the badass known as Senji Kiyomasa in a Hardcore Match, an environment they are both well-versed in! Our Women's Champion, Lightning Farron takes on DFW's Zinnia, who looks to shed her choker label and get the biggest win of her career! We've got BUGS BUNNY..." The crowd cheered loudly at the name of UCA's first face. "...taking on Sonic the Hedgehog, in a match straight from the 90s! And a rivalry from Final Clash is reborn as Wolfgang's BULLIES takes on Gordon Freeman and his "Resistance," comprised of Jude Lizowski, Samurai Jack, Nagisa Shiota, and Willis in a Survivor Series Match! One final battle!"
"And the Post-Clash Bash brings to you FOUR TITLE MATCHES. First off, The Elrics will defend their UCA World Tag Team Championship against WWE representatives, The EPA, The Ed Protection Agency! A little leftover from WrestleMania if you will! NEXT...I'm having Cloud have the biggest challenge he could have...defending the Intercontinental Title in a Six Pack Challenge! Against DFW's Gamzee Makura, XCW's Claude Speed, WWE's Scott Pilgrim, WCW's Wes, and FWF's Caretaker! One fall takes home the title! And in a semi-main event, we've got a foreign title being defended here, with Azula of GAIA defending the World Openweight Championship against Kat, a rematch from the Universal Queen Tournament!"
"And the main event...will be Yamato "Matt" Ishida...against Taichi "Tai" Kamiya...for the UCA World Heavyweight Championship! Destined versus Destined Part 3!" Force announced strongly.
The crowd exploded at the announcement, excited for such a huge main event for the show, and Force was just grinning madly. "Yeah, that's a hell of a card? The Post-Clash Bash has been a long time coming, an event UCA has wanted to for years, and we are happy to finally bring it to you! BUT...that's not all I'm here for. Because we have to focus on SOLELY UCA affairs! First off, let's get to tonight! We got us a full plate! Now last week, Ben decided to be cheeky and "defend" his Hardcore Title last week...well...guess what? I'm not amused, and he's defending it FOR REAL TONIGHT! Against who? We'll find out WHEN the match takes place! And we have one of our biggest signings ever! We have signed the CWA and NJPW, legend, the face of Shounen Jump himself...MONKEY D. LUFFY!" The crowd exploded in massive cheers as they were chanting "LUFFY!" "And he will be facing the survivor known only as Gordon Freeman in his debut!"
"And finally...our main event will be a FATAL 4-WAY ELIMINATION MATCH! To decide the new No. 1 Contender for the UCA World Heavyweight Championship at War Zone, our next PPV! Between Ruby...Takuya Kanbara...Wolfgang...and Toad! Four men who have impressed the last month of UCA! So good luck to all four of you, to get the chance you've all been waiting for!"
Force then looked back at the cloth behind him...and grinned. "But none of that is even the biggest thing. Because what's behind me...is something HUGE, something in the making for awhile. It's time for UCA to take the next step. So I introduce you to..." Force then pulled off the cloth...
...revealing a pair of TWO BRAND NEW TITLES on a pedestal for all to see. "The NEW UCA Women's Tag Team Championship!"
The crowd cheered loudly as Force nodded. "That's right, after all these years, we're finally giving the women something more. So many other companies are doing it, so it's time we do the same! And trust me, when I say, that this Women's Tag Team Division will be AMAZING. It will be GLORIOUS, and start off with a bang. Because at War Zone, we are deciding the first Champions in a-"
("I Want You" by TeddyLoid)
Boos rained down from the crowd as Force looked stunned and annoyed...and soon enough, SCANTY and KNEESOCKS, the Demon Sisters, came out, prim and orderly as always. A smirk was plastered on Scanty's face, while Kneesocks simply adjusted her glasses as they made their way down to the ring.
"The damn Demon Sisters, Scanty and Kneesocks. Last week, they debuted and beat the crap out of Saria & Malon. What do they want NOW? This is sort of a big deal!" Church questioned.
"Quiet, we are in the presence of proper, orderly ladies! We need to respect them!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Ladies...yeah, right." Church deadpanned.
*Skip*
The Demon Sisters stood in the ring with Force, who looked very annoyed at the whole situation before Scanty spoke...
"We do apologize for interrupting, we understand a man of your stature has important business to attend to. But we are here to stop from you making a grave mistake. You appear to be set on trying to crown champions for these new titles. However, that would be a mistake off the bat. For you see, the perfect champions to start with...are right before you."
"You cannot start a new division with such a method." Kneesocks proclaimed. "It would promote lawlessness and chaos, and that is not what this Division needs. It needs order, control...and the Ruuuruuus! Rules are what embodies society, rules are what make a division go forward! Give it life, and make wrestling what it is! Our business is already chaotic enough as it is, do not make it moreso without the proper Champions in place. Without us, it would be a...grave mistake."
"Name us as the first Champions, and we shall make sure this Division is run smooth as a ship should be. Do not...make a grave mistake by allowing others to have a chance at this, when they would so clearly fail." Scanty sneered.
Force rubbed his chin, taking this and a bit surprised by the boldness of the Champions. He shook his head and was about to speak-
("Lost Woods Dubstep Remix" by Ephixa)
The crowd stood on their feet as the Demon Sisters were stunned...and Saria & Malon came out, looking...less than pleased at they stared down the Scanty & Kneesocks.
"Hey, what are those treehuggers doing out here?! Get them out of here!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Yeeaahhh, I don't think that's happening, so shut up, Sarge." Church deadpanned.
*Skip*
"What are you doing?" Scanty snarled. "Don't you see we are having important business do-"
"That's exactly why we're here." Saria stated strongly. "Because we're not going to let this go on anymore, and let you indulge yourselves like this. Me and Malon worked our butts off to get here. We were drafted by UCA awhile back, and unlike you two, we didn't get put into the main roster right away. We had to work our way through UCA when there wasn't even a Women's Tag Team Division. We are here because we earned it. And if you think we're just going to let you walk in here and take titles without effort, you have another thing coming."
"We demand to be the Champions because we are the only ones fit to be it. Order must be established at the onset of a new division, we are the ones who shall establish it. And you do not have a right to interfere with such proceedings." Kneesocks growled.
"We remember what you did to us last week. I think we have as much as right anyone to do something about all of this. In fact...I feel like doing something about it by knocking your butts all over this arena right now." Malon proclaimed angrily.
The tension between the two teams was high as they glared at each other...
("Killa Queen" by Dale Oliver)
The four looked at the stage...and out came Peach and Daisy, the Mushroom Princesses to a chorus of boos as they had smug and haughty looks on their faces.
"Oh no...not these two... Like we needed them..." Church groaned.
"Quiet, dirtbag, royal Reds are in our presence! Bow before getting your shit kicked in by them!" Sarge exclaimed.
*Skip*
"I can't believe you four are arguing about this..." Peach snickered. "As if any of you are deserving to be the Champions! Hah! Don't you get it? The only ones who should be Champions are US! Because without us, this division wouldn't have even existed!"
"Yeah, we are the original UCA women's tag team! The one that came before all of you! There wasn't even a division for us, and we still did what we did, teaming together! We're practically foremothers of this division!"
"Exactly! Me and Daisy, we are LEGENDS." Peach smirked. "...Well moreso me, Daisy's just a very good friend, but STILL. We are the women who have been around longer than you all even EXISTED. But never have we even had the chance to even BE Women's Tag Team Champions like our men, even though we COULD be! You should be grateful to us that this whole situation is even happening! And there are no better Champions to start this Division with than us! So get out of the way...and bow before royalty so we can be crowned what is rightfully ours."
The two teams before the princesses just gave each other deadpan looks before looking back the Mushroom Princesses.
"...You can't be serious. You sure aren't the female Mario Bros, we aren't scared of you." Saria stated.
"The 'Luigi' of the group is even more pathetic than the actual Luigi. That's how you know how sad this is." Scanty sneered.
"Watch your mouth, I'm going to be GPW Women's Champion soon!" Daisy retorted angrily.
"Knowing you, you'll probably screw that up soon." Kneesocks smirked. "You don't pose a threat to us."
"I beg to differ. We have more experience than any of you times TEN. So get out of the way and-"
("Misery Business" by Paramore)
Everyone in the ring was stunned by that music...and out came AMY ROSE and HINATA HYUUGA of all people, the former having a cheery grin on her face, while the latter was determined.
"What the...?! AMY?! HINATA?! Them of all people?! What are they doing out here?! I mean, they've been hanging out with each other but..." Church muttered.
"You two aren't a team! GET OUT OF HERE! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE, YOU AREN'T OF THE REDS!" Sarge shouted.
*Skip*
"I know, I know, everyone's wondering why we of all people here." Amy admitted. "Well, here's the thing...me and Hinata were not doing so well. Knocked out of the Universal Queen Tourney...having nowhere to go after that in UCA. A bit rough...but you know how rumors go? They've been swirling around that this was going to happen. And when I saw where we were...a sneaky idea came to me. A wonderful one."
"Amy pulled me aside and told me of her plan. How we had similarities with each other, but were different...and that we complimented each other. I admit, I...wasn't sure about it. I had always been a singles competitor in UCA, I wanted to be Women's Champion again...but I made a team work with Sam in APEX. And I knew I could do it here, because this is a chance to remind everyone what I am capable of. What AMY is capable of. And I know we an do this."
"I'm the fire of the team. She's the technician. We...are the GENTLE ROSES. And we're going to make our mark in this division, and remind UCA who we are! In fact, why not start that off...by becoming the first Champions of this Division? I think that's a great idea." Amy grinned.
"You can't be serious! You are a mismatched team just desperate to save your careers! There's no way you can be a great team!" Peach shouted angrily.
"Well hey, won't know until you try, right? And besides, I'm pretty sure we can at least beat you." Amy grinned.
"This is ludicrious." Kneesocks growled. "The fact that we are being forced to deal with this foolishness is an insult...!"
"Well hey, I'd rather them be the Champions than you all! At least they'll be willing to earn it!" Malon proclaimed.
("We R Who We R" by Ke$ha)
"Are you kidding me?!" Church questioned.
Everyone couldn't believe it as Team B.A.K.E was now out there, Ginger Snap, Orange Blossom, and Angel Cake all out there, all with smirks on their faces.
"Now we got the newcomers, Team B.A.K.E.?! What is GOING ON?!" Church questioned.
"I don't know, but I bet it's all your fault, dirtbag! It always is!" Sarge exclaimed.
*Skip*
"So what do we have here? A couple of demons who are doing the opposite of what demons are doing? A forever child and the third wheel ranch girl? The old hag princesses no one cares about? And, whatever you two are, you don't matter." Ginger Snap waved off Amy and Hinata,k speaking in a super fast manner. "Wow, can you believe it, girls? The standards for this division are really low to start with!"
"Totally, can you believe them all, Angel Cake? They totally think any of them can be Champions." Orange Blossom smirked. "Because we're clearly the best team among them. Heck, we've proven it! We are the QUEEN of the TRIOS. Powerpuffs and Hana-Gumi don't have anything on US! And...well...wow, this is really a step down in competition from Chikara..."
"What a shame, and here we came to basically put a stomp on being the best, but how can we when the ones we face aren't even that good? Darn, and I wanted to be PERFECT! That's what we SHOULD be as the Queens of Trios!" Angel Cake proclaimed. "But we can make up for it by taking those titles. We're clearly the only ones that are actually good enough and not just saying it because we're trying to will it into existence."
"Tough talk from a team we beat last week before these demons jumped us!" Malon stated.
"That was a fluke, everyone's entitled to one. Though then again, considering Link won't look at you, maybe you don't get one and all that. Who knows, you're probably just begging for him to stare at you-" Ginger Snap was going off on a silly tangent to herself as Saria had to keep Malon from ripping off her head.
"You may have been good in Chikara, but you're just like everyone else here, starting at the bottom! Your success in the indies doesn't count for ANYTHING here before us!" Peach stated.
"Oh really? Like your 'legendary' status which no one cares about means anything now?" Angel Cake smirked. "Please, who's gonna-"
("Apocalypse" by DAMN NATION)
"Who in the...?"
The teams all turned to the stage, confused by this music...and were greeted by the surprising duo of LUCY KUO AND NIX of all people, standing side by side despite everything and looking like they had a purpose.
"What the...?! Lucy Kuo?! Nix?! What are they doing here?! Aren't they supposed to hate each other?!" Church questioned.
"A Red and a Blue together?! This does not compute! THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE!" Sarge shouted.
*Skip*
"What in the...? Weren't you two beating each other up in AUW awhile back...?" Saria questioned. "We saw that ourselves, me and Malon! You two aren't friends!"
Lucy paused a bit before speaking... "...You're right. Me and Nix aren't really friends. I'm not sure we're ever going to be friends really. But honestly? ...There's nothing really for us to fight each other over. We've just accepted we see things differently, and Cole, well...honestly, that needs no explanation. And when it comes down to it, what place did we have in UCA after being called up? We didn't have one, but we certainly weren't going to stand around and let that continue to be the case. And maybe what we couldn't do apart...we can do together."
"I hate to admit, I really do. Kuo ain't my favorite person in the world..." Nix stated. "But the thing is...I've known that when we work together, we become a force like no other. You know, fire and ice, that whole shebang? We know each other better than we do ourselves at this point. We aren't going to be best friends...but I know this...she's right. And quite frankly, we might be better together than apart. As long as she lets me have my fun here and there, heh... I don't mind. Because I refuse to sit on my ass all day. At the least, I'll sleep with the devil I know...and bring all you down in the process."
"Opposite attract, right? So consider this a proclamation...we are putting our foot forward in this division." Lucy narrowed her eyes. "Lucy Kuo and Nix... Bad Karma... Good Karma... Coming together as one. And believe us, when we say...that we're going to rock this division. And we're going to do that the best way possible, which is...you GUESSED it...becoming the Champions. And we're not going to ASK to become Champions, just so you know. We're going to take it by force."
"You serious?! A pair of enemies like you just teaming up just to find some spot here?! Get lost, this is for friends only!" Peach shouted.
"Hey now, calm down...don't want to shout too loud. That just might get me fired up to start something..." Nix smirked.
"Just try it. Your lawlessness will not be tolerated, and we shall quickly deal with you with the Ruuruus." Kneesocks glared.
"Okay, so is there anyone else back there that wants to show up, since everyone is invited he-" Amy began until...
("Atom Bomb Baby" by Five Stars)
"What now?! What is THIS?!" Sarge questioned.
Everyone threw their hands up in disbelief as they looked to the strange, the unusual 50s music playing...and out came two newcomers, a girl wearing what seemed to be investigative clothing from the 50s, and a red-haired woman looking like she had been in a fight...PIPER WRIGHT AND CAIT.
"Who the hell are these two?! Why do they look like they are from the past?! GET THESE FIFTIES OUT OF MY FACE!" Sarge shouted.
"That's Piper Wright and Cait, you asshole! From the vignettes?! From the Commonwealth, a fallout wasteland! And I think they're here in their debut to also say something." Church stated
*Skip*
"Well now, isn't this just something else?" Piper asked with some amusement. "It's a true party in here. But guess what? The Diamond Survivors are here to join that party. That's right, all the way from the nuclear wastelands known as the Commonwealth, a couple of gals from Diamond City are here to make your mark, and Piper Wright is here to report the truth of our journey! And that's in short supply these days. But don't worry...we're here to change all that. We tried to put our name out there during the Indylympics, buuuttt...company we chose fell through. Now that's just bad luck." Piper shrugged. "But here comes UCA offering us another chance! They wanted to build up their tag division, and who are we to deny ourselves that opportunity?"
"So you really think you can just walk in here and challenge the likes of us, just like that?" Peach sneered.
"I mean...isn't that what everybody is doing these days?" Piper noted. "Challenging the top right off the bat? If a lot of people before us can do it, why not us? We've fought the Institute and Deathclaws, why would we do anything but shoot for the top? There are too many liars and jerks around here...we need a couple of people here who aren't afraid of the truth or to put out the truth! We're not scared of any of you. So even if we're the true newcomers around the block, we don't want to wait for the dust to settle here. We want to get down into the nitty gritty of it, and get to the heart of everything! And hey...if we come out as Champions...then that just makes it all worth it. Right, Cait?"
Cait just stared at everyone with narrowed eyes before saying... "...So are we gonna fight or what? This shite usually ends with that, and I hate waitin' for it to begin."
"Oh boy, here we go again..." Piper shakes his head.
"You want a fight? Good, I've been waiting for an excuse to really cause some destruction around here." Nix smirked as Lucy tried to hold them back. "May start with those princesses though."
"Hey stay away from us! Stay away from us! You strike us, you will get the royal punishment for sure!" Peach shouted at her.
"I mean, maybe the talking is over. Maybe we should get it over with and finally get to those Demon Sisters." Malon proclaimed.
"Order! Chaos will not be tolerated in our division! You hear me?! Not tolerated!" Scanty shouted angrily.
*Skip*
Arguing was rising and rising, and tensions growing, and it looked like fists were about to throw down until...
"OKAY, OKAY, that's enough, settle DOWN!"
Everyone stopped as Force, having watched all the teams show up, got into the middle of the massive group and stood in front of the titles with narrowed eyes.
"Congratulations for all of you declaring yourselves for the division and intentions on becoming Champions. I'm really glad you all are taking to this very much...but it isn't going to make ANY of you the Champions. And arguing here isn't changing that either. BUT...you've all given me an idea. So no...I am NOT giving ANY of you the titles straight up." Some were incredulous at this, but Force was adamant. "Instead...at War Zone, the seven of you and one more team...will be competing in TAG TEAM TURMOIL. That's right, all of you will be going through the gauntlet, and the last one standing will be the first-ever Women's Tag Team Champions of Universal Character Association! And if you don't like it...too bad. Deal with it."
Force then grabbed the titles off the pedestals, and went over to the ropes and grinned at them.
"As for how the match should go, who should go first and last and all that...how about you discuss that amongst yourselves? I'm sure it'll be a civil discussion. Later." Force then left on that note, leaving all the teams in the ring...staring at each other...
"Oh shit...this...feels like a Mexican standoff...without Mexicans..." Church muttered.
They continued to stare at each other, the tension thick as emotions ran high. Nobody made a move until...
"Aaahh, fuck all ya pussies, let's just get this shite started already!" Cait shouted before she BLASTED LUCY KUO AND THE TAG TEAM WAR WAS ON!
"AND HERE WE GO! Cait started it and now we got ALL OUT WAR! And nobody's walking away from this unscathed!" Church shouted.
"I LOVE ME SOME WAR! LET THE WAR BEGIN AND MAY A RED RISE FROM IT ALL!" Sarge shouted.
*Skip*
Team B.A.K.E. were using their numbers to beat down on Amy and Hinata, stomping on them before Angel Cake and Ginger Snap lifted up Amy for a Double Suplex. but suddenly Peach and Daisy kicked the two in the back of the legs, forcing them to drop Amy who then planted them both with a Double Rose Flow DDT. Orange Blossom was shocked, but suddenly got a Gentle Slam for her troubles! The two got up, but both got booted by the princesses for their troubles, who then picked up Amy and proceeded to nail a Double Side Effect! Both princesses were riding high until Saria came in Springboard Double Crossbody on the two of them! Malon then picked up Daisy and kneed her so hard in the jaw she was sent out of the ring, before picking up Peach as Saria was on the apron...and Fairy Driver (Meltzer Driver) connects!
The two got up, but the Demon Sisters threw Saria into Malon to daze them both, then leveled Saria with the Demonic Ruuruu! Angry, Malon tried to get back at them, but Scanty poked her eyes, and then lifted her up, and Kneesocks ran the ropes and nailed the Ruuruu Maker (Hart Attack) on her! The two stood tall, but Nix came from behind and planted Kneesocks with a Full Nelson Slam! Scanty ran at her, only to get caught with a Standing Side Slam onto Kneesocks. But then Cait attacked her from behind, and the two began to brawl! Lucy came in from behind and tried to attack Cait, but she ducked and Lucy nailed Nix instead! Lucy was stunned but got turned into a Diamond in the Rough (Shatter Machine) from Piper and Cait! Piper and Cait stood tall, but then Cait got nailed with an Orange Blossom (Discus Lariat), and she and Piper began to fight!
"This is PURE CHAOS! PANDEMONIUM! Every other damn adjective describing this! It's HELL!" Church exclaimed.
"Tag team warfare, just the way I like it! What pure, unadulterated violence-HEY WAIT, THAT'S...!" Sarge suddenly exclaimed.
The two in the ring continued to fight UNTIL THEY BOTH GOT BLASTED BY A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE OUT OF NOWHERE! And Nix tried to get back into the ring ONLY TO GET A BIG BOOT TO SEND HER OFF THE APRON! The two culprits were...
MANDY...
AND...
GAZ!
"OH GOD! WHAT THE HELL?! THAT'S MANDY WITH...GAZ?! SHE'S BACK?! FUCKIN' GAZ MEMBRANE! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING TOGETHER, I THOUGHT THEY HATED EACH OTHER FROM YEARS AGO!" Church shouted.
"WELL THEY DON'T NOW! AND...I THINK THEY WANT TO PUT THEIR MARK ON THE DIVISIONS! ALL HANDS ABOARD THE EVIL LITTLE GIRL TRAIN!" Sarge shouted.
Mandy and Gaz glared at everyone in the equation before they picked up Piper Wright and proceeded to nail a DOUBLE CHOKESLAM DOWN ONTO THE FALLOUT REPORTER! However, they held onto her as the Demon Sisters were trying to get on the apron, lifted her up together and threw her like a JAVELIN into the two head-first to send them all tumbling to the ground with the others! Gaz glared at them before she picked up Orange Blossom, and then lifted her up...before running to the ropes as they all stood up...
...AND POWERBOMBED ORANGE BLOSSOM OVER THE ROPES AND ONTO EVERYONE, TAKING DOWN EVERYONE! The two girls stood tall...but they weren't done as they slid out of the ring, grabbed Hinata and Saria, throwing them into the ring before grabbing them...AND PLANTING THEM WITH THE REAPER SCYTHE AND NIGHTMARE WORLD (Powerbomb Lungblower) RESPECTIVELY! The dark girls stood tall as Mandy looked at the destruction they caused and said "Told you all you wished I stay where I was..."
...all while Force looked at the scene before him, humming...but a slight smirk on his face, pleased at the least what was coming together before his eyes as he held the titles in hand.
"Mandy and Gaz...actually working TOGETHER?! Oh God...they're the EIGHTH TEAM in Tag Team Turmoil, aren't they?! This is not good...NOT AT ALL." Church shook his head.
"This new Women's Tag Team Division is about to get all sorts of crazy, and I LOVE IT! Here's to the Blues failing miserably like they always do!" Sarge cheered.
"A Supershow coming up... A title match tonight... A No. 1 Contender decided... And freakin' Tag Team Turmoil at War Zone for the Women's Tag Team Titles... Jesus Christ, things are going to get crazy..." Church muttered.
Backstage Segment: Master Chief Looks for Star Force
We go backstage to see Simmons and Grif conversing with each other at catering...and clearly the latter was exasperated by the former.
"...Grif, that's never going to work." Simmons deadpanned.
"Come on, man, Force has a bleeding heart. He'll never realize we're lying until it's too late and we have a whole show off. It's perfect." Grif urged.
"Grif, there is no way we're going to make everyone believe we're turning into zombies! They would kill us to make sure we don't!" Simmons retorted.
"Not if we 'conveniently' have the antidote lying around. One which will take a full 24 hours to work. It's foolproof."
"You do realize that you've tried to get out of work multiple times that you're pretty much the boy who cries wolf to Force right now?" Simmons reminded.
"Whatever, as long as we get some zombie makeup, it'll work." Grif assured.
"This'll take more work than then work you're trying to get out of!" Simmons exclaimed.
"Yeah, well, we can just somebody else t-" Grif stops as the two feel a presence and turn around...to face MASTER CHIEF who stares at the Reds before him stoically.
"...Where is Star Force?" He questioned.
"Uuuuhhh...don't know? How do I know, he's an asshole! I generally avoid asshole, they're too much energy to deal with." Grif deadpanned.
"Hehehehe..." Simmons chuckled nervously. "Um...why ask? It's not like we're friends with-"
"With the score with Fox settled, there's nothing stop Chief from getting what he wants: retribution." Cortana spoke. "And we know Geo slinks around here whenever he can and is trying to hide from us, and we're going to scour every bit of this arena if we have to. We know you two are idiots..."
"Hey!" Simmons exclaimed.
"Well, there's no really arguing that, we are." Grif deadpanned.
"...but we also know as interviewers, you generally are able to keep track of wrestlers, need to know where they are. So tell us where he is. Because he's not getting away again." Cortana narrowed eyes.
"...Where. Is. Geo?" Chief asked VERY strongly.
"Ummmm...look, we don't know! Please have mercy! No one's seen him since yesterday! But if it makes you feel better, we've heard a few rumors of a blue armored guy somewhere around the other side of the backstage area! Honest! Please, don't kill us! I haven't even put in my application to be an accountant yet!" Simmons pleaded.
Master Chief stared at the duo for a bit before he walked off, shaking his head as he muttered... "He won't get away. Ever again," and leaving with Cortana in tow. Simmons sighed in relief...
"...May God have mercy on Star Force's soul." Simmons prayed.
"Seriously, dude? An accountant? That's so freakin' lame." Grif groaned.
"I'll have you know that accountants make more money than most people on a yearly bas-GAAAAH!" Simmons suddenly cried out...
...WHEN BOWSER GRABBED THEIR THROATS OUT OF NOWHERE AND CHOKESLAMMED THEM BOTH THROUGH THE CATERING TABLE! Bowser snarled and roared angrily at the two before stomping off, leaving the two Reds writhing in pain.
"...I can't feel my spine..." Simmons squeaked out.
"...Fuck everything, dude." That was all Grif managed to get out before he passed out in pain...
Backstage Segment: The One Winged Angel's Return
The scene is dark and dreary...nothing but darkness could be seen within the room...
"...Has it really been so long? So long that you actually forgot what this company is like without me..." A voice rang out amid the abyss...before a LONE BLACK WING flapped onto the screen...
...and it belonged to the One-Winged Angel himself, Sephiroth, with that cold smile on his face as always.
"It's quite remarkable. I disappear for a bit, to regroup, to heal myself, and...branch myself out and conquer new frontiers." Sephiroth mused. "And by the time I return, you all seem at peace. Struggles here and there, as life inevitably brings...but you seem to believe you are free from the chaos that the rest of the business endures. But I am afraid that that is where it comes to an end. Because I have finally returned to reclaim what is mine. To force you all to remember who I am. Of course, the question is, how do I do that? Where do I start? Simply put...it starts with a simple goal: the destruction of a hero."
Sephiroth actually chuckled as he held out his hands towards the camera...
"Link... For so many years, so many decades, I have watched you. Been witness to your greatest moments...and your lowest points. But you keep on fighting, no matter what. Whether as a child, or an adult. You truly are the Hero of Time, a legendary hero everyone looks up to, full of courage. Which is why you are the perfect target. Why you will be the sacrifice for my return. For you see...we have never truly battled one another. Despite all the years, our differing paths...one event or another kept us from each other, from locking horns. But today...that ends. Because I see you doing everything you possibly can to avoid becoming a memory. Trying to reclaim your lost glory, to remain the 'hero' you used to be. Using a Magnus Title match to show you 'still got it.' When really...all you are is an old man, clinging to the time he once had control over. Trying to instill the morals of a hero into so many others, including the 'Links' that come after you."
Sephiroth clenched his fists as a smirk appeared on his face. "And I will end it for. Heroes likes you...ALWAYS die. After all...isn't that what happened to Zack?" Sephiroth chuckled darkly. "Don't worry, you may see him again soon. I'll make sure of it. Link, Hero of Time...you will fall like every hero before you has. And you will leave not courage or hope to those who come after. You will leave no legacy...for I am you DESPAIR. And the despair of all who come after you. You will be destroyed, while I will last forever...for unlike you...I will never be a memory. Good luck, Link. You're going to need it."
With that dark foreboding message, Sephiroth's wing covered his body, covering the camera...until suddenly, the wings melted into black...and he disappeared, leaving nothing but feathers in his wake...
...all while Link was shown watching it backstage, and heard every word. His expression was stoic, but fists were clenched as he nodded to himself. "If that's what you want...fine. I'll be what I'm supposed to be...the hero that SLAYS the fallen angel."
Singles Match: RC Bane vs Shadow the Hedgehog
- RC Bane was the newest debut on the rise. He had been AUW Heavyweight Champion and Universal Champion at the same time, he dominated AUW, and even took John Cena to the limit at a past FWAs. As the fourth OC ever signed to UCA, he had massive expectations...and even greater ambitions, to finally cement himself as the star he knew he was. But Shadow, who had been on a losing streak since Final Clash, wanted to finally break out of it, and remind the world he was the Ultimate Life Form. Which is what happened out of the gate, as Shadow was aggressive on the rookie, hitting with hard and furious moves, such as Spinning Spinebuster into the corner, and a DDT into a turnbuckle. However, RC eventually used that aggressiveness against Shadow as he tried for a big boot outside, and RC moved out of the way, causing the leg to hit the steel post hard, and then RC slams the leg into once again.
- From there, the match became about RC attacking the leg in any way possible, from submissions such as Leg Hooks to moves like the Knee Breakers, RC was dismantling the knee bit by bit. Even going so far as to drag it across the apron and drop a vicious stomp on it across it, damaging it even further. RC's merciless and methodical nature was on full display, but his focus on the leg cost him as he tried for a Double Foot Stomp on the leg, but Shadow rolled out of the way, causing RC to stumble to a knee and GET A CHAOS BLAST TO THE FACE AS A RESULT! In the end, Shadow was managing to beat back RC Bane, and had him hooked up for a Chaos Nightmare UNTIL RC BROKE FREE AND CHOPPED AT THE BAD LEG! Shadow dropped to a knee, holding his leg, but then got grabbed AND PLANTED WITH THE VIRUS IMPACT! RC Bane then made the cover...and got the 3 count, and the victory!
- RC Bane stood tall, arm raised in victory as he motioned to everyone that this was what he was capable of, and he wouldn't be ignored anymore. That Shadow's time had passed, and his time was NOW. He left the ring, leaving Shadow in the ring to stew...another loss on his belt, and the frustrations were starting to mount for him. He was the Ultimate Life Form, this should not be the case. And as he stewed, RC Bane watched this scene and looked out towards the crowd, proclaiming... "This is only the beginning... Soon..." before leaving for the back.
Backstage Segment: Kiva Comes to Terms with Her Revenge of the Fallen Loss
"Soooo...Grif and Simmons got murderdeathkilled by Bowser?" Tucker stated. "...You know what, I think I left my stove on, so how I about just-"
Swords were pointed at Tucker from off-screen, and he just deadpanned at what was in front of him.
"Jesus fucking Christ, dudes, you suck. Alright, fine!" Tucker groaned. "Fine, you asked for it. If I die, I'm going to be like Church and haunt all your asses. Okay, so here's my guest...the loser at Revenge of the Fallen...Kiva Andru."
Kiva came into view, a very frustrated look on her face at the last line, but she managed to keep her cool and took a deep breath.
"Okay, so...you lost at Revenge of the Fallen. Tough break. And it was for the Women's Title. Also a tough break. Sooooo...since you came so close, yet so far, how are you feeling?"
Kiva just deadpanned looked at Tucker before sighing... "...What else can I say? I'm not feeling good at all. Because I was RIGHT THERE. I had the title in my grasp, I had her on the ropes. I could be standing her at Women's Champions...but one mistake on my part, and it cost me all. I...don't feel good. No one would feel good in my position." Kiva sighed. "...But you know what? The more I thought about it, the less...I felt angry over it. Why? ...Because of how close I came to beating Lightning. We all know how good she is. She's one of the best...but guess what? She needed a ROLL-UP to beat me. Not a Lightning Strikes. Not one of her Lightning Locks. Not anything truly decisive. She had to get me...with a roll-up of all things. She won...but not in the way she usually wins. She had to get one by me. You know what that tells me? ...That she was at her limit, that I pushed her farther than anyone had before. What it tells me...is that she won this round...but that I CAN BEAT HER. I know I can now. After the match we had, it's even more clear to me. She's not as invincible as she thinks she is...and I'm not done with her yet. I will take that title from her, no matter what."
"You are done with me. Whether you like it or not."
Kiva rolled her eyes as Lightning came into view, title over her shoulder as she stared holes into the future girl.
"You know, this my interview. Not yours. Can you actually not butt in and try to put the spotlight on yourself for once?" Kiva shook her head.
"It involves me when you think you're going to get another chance." Lightning glared. "You lost. Who cares if it was by roll-up or whatever, that's the result. And that means you go back to the line. I have no need to deal with you any longer than I have to. I have BIGGER things to worry about, far grander opponents to try and face.
"You say all that...or honestly, you're just scared." Kiva shrugged. "Scared of how close you came to losing. Scared of the realizing that if given another chance one-on-one, I can take that title from you. I saw it in your eyes. You were never afraid Tifa getting another shot. But me? I can tell when you're trying hard to keep me from one."
"I'm scared of no one. Least of all YOU." Lightning scowled. "I didn't rise all the way to the top, so some girl from the future can just think she can do whatever she wants. I run this division now."
"You run nothing. Least of all me. I know I can beat you. Think I'm wrong? Prove it by putting your title on the line one more time. I think no one would be opposed to that. Of course, your future would be very bleak then." Kiva smirked.
"Facing me again would be the biggest mistake of your life." Lightning glared.
"I'll take my chances." Kiva retorted.
The two stared each other down, the tension high as the fans cheered this encounter...until...
"You got your chance, future girl. It's my turn."
The two turned from their staredown...to see AGENT TEX come into view,
"Kiva...darling...you had your shot. You failed." Tex cricks her neck. "Doesn't matter how, you did. So how about letting me get the next shot? I've been kept from my shot by a certain bounty hunter who kept me screwing me over. But now I'm free...and I've got the victory that pretty much says I deserve a title shot. So you...aren't going to be able to duck me anymore, Fantasy girl. I've got you right where I want you."
"This is between me and her, Tex, just wa-"
Kiva wasn't able to finish as she was actually SHOVED away by the standoff-ish and blunt Tex, stunned by that action as the Freelancer stared at
"...You want someone to REALLY fear? I tend to be somewhat of a badass, and you've been lucky to avoid me so far since I've returned. But I'm here now, with not a single obstacle in my way. So guess what that means? Your ass is about to get torn apart into little bitty pieces, and I claim that Women's Title for myself. I'm done waiting. I'm finally coming for your head."
"Is that so? ...Better make sure to not miss then." Lightning replied coldly.
The two glared at each other...until Kiva came back and turned Tex around, now glaring at her as she said... "You don't get to shove me out of this just because you have a case. I'm not letting her get away when I was this close last night. You won't change that for me."
"That's nice, future girl. Real nice. Too bad you choked. So better luck next time." Tex snarked back.
"Well...you would know all about choking? Since when it comes to the big goal, that's what you're meant to do..." Kiva barked back.
The crowd went "Oooohhh" as Tex immediately got into Kiva's face, but Kiva didn't flinch. Just staring right back at Tex with no fear...
"Say that again to my face, I dare you. You'll regret it." Tex snarled.
"I'm not backing down. You aren't keeping me from that title. Not when I'm so close. I'm getting another shot, no matter what." Kiva proclaimed strongly.
The tension was high once more, as Lightning looked in amusement...until clapping could be heard which garnered all of their attention. And they looked to see...SAMUS ARAN coming into view, clapping her hands with a smirk.
"Congratulations on a wonderful scene before us. Truly. Too bad neither of you are not going to get the shot before I do. So how about you move out of the way so I can face the Champion?"
"In case, you forgot, didn't I kick your ass at Revenge of the Fallen? You have less of a right at a shot than her. So get lost before I repeat Falls Count Anywhere right now. And it won't be as pleasant." Tex proclaimed.
"You're right... You won at Revenge of the Fallen. I can't deny that. But at the end of the day...I got something to offset that." Samus stated as she reached down...
...and pulled up the Diamond in the Mine case, the prize for winning the Best of the Best.
"I won the Best of the Best at Cold War. UCA had come close twice before, with Crash and the Sony Saints, but failed. But I was the one who managed to finally win the big crossover match for this company. Finally give it a moment of glory. And now...I have all the power. I can cash this in on any Champion in any company. This briefcase...is a guarantee to my rise back to the top. Tex...you thought I was done for. You left for me dead so that everyone could just forget me. You got the last laugh at Revenge of the Fallen, no question...but I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here, and reclaiming my place on top."
"So what? Are you going to use it? Cash it in on Lightning? Is that your grand plan? Color me unimpressed." Kiva deadpan.
"I thought about it. And it's not off the table. But I'm not going to make my decision just yet. And in the meantime..." Samus suddenly went up to Lightning and stared her down. "...Why not make it double gold for me? Get your title along with my briefcase? Because I think winning Best of the Best for UCA gives me a right to your title as much as anyone does. So how about it, Champ? Go against a REAL legend, and show what you're worth.
"Oh hell no, you are not getting that title shot after what I did to you!" Tex stated as she got in between them. "Don't make me kick your ass twice in a row. Then again, I'm going to greatly enjoy it like I did last time."
"You won at Revenge of the Fallen, Tex. But I'll be damned if you get in my way again. So beat it." Samus growled.
"ENOUGH!" Kiva got in between the two. "I did not go through all the trouble to get this point just to get upstaged by the likes of you two. I don't care what you've done, I am getting one more title shot! And you can 'hoss' all you want as I get that!"
"You know this is fun to watch and all..." Lightning shook her head. "But no matter how you three argue, I'm still the one in control. So all of you get in line and come at one by one. I'll take you all down for sure."
"You sure about that, Lightning?" Force questioned as he walked into the scene, catching all of their attention. "Because I happen to come across this scene, all of the women here vying for a title shot. And you all make compelling cases. Kiva came closer than anyone before her, and people want to see her still. Tex has the big victory at Revenge of the Fallen. And Samus won Best of the Best for UCA. So what to do, what to do...?" Force rubbed his chin, before snapping his fingers. "Ah! I got it! I know just the way to please you all. You four have been practically the focal point of this Division for months...so let's have it all clash. At War Zone...it will be LIGHTNING FARRON, defending the UCA Women's Title against...
...KIVA ANDRU...
...AGENT TEX...
...AND SAMUS ARAN...
...IN A FATAL 4-WAY MATCH!
The crowd cheered loudly as Lightning's eyes were wide in shock, and the three challengers were stunned but they all seemed to be happy: Kiva nodded her head, glad she was going to get another shot, Tex punched her hand in her palm in eagerness, and Samus shrugged, not minding it as long as she got the chance. Lightning just stared at incredulously.
"You can't be serious, after everything I've done...!" Lightning seethed.
"Yes, I am. You've dealt with tough odds before. This should be no different." Force grinned. "So...good luck at War Zone, Lightning. You'll need it. Oh and tonight...let's blow off some of this steam. Later, it's going to be Kiva vs Tex, one on one! For some good ol' fashioned momentum building! Have fun ladies! Should be a good time!"
Force left on that note, as Kiva and Tex stared at each other intensely for a few seconds, having a few quiet, choice words with each other before they walked off in opposite directions. Samus just looked at Lightning, and smirked at her before she walked off, Lightning left alone to stew in frustration before she walked away as well...
"Well...that went about as well as anything does here. ...Which is practically NOTHING. Oh well, at least I came out okay, that's all that matter-OH SHIT!" Tucker suddenly cried out...
...AS BOWSER CAME IN AND SPEARED TUCKER THROUGH THE INTERVIEW EQUIPMENT! Tucker was buried amid it all in pain as Bowser growled down at him before stomping off, his rampage not stopping whatsoever.
"...I knew this was a bad idea. I blame all you assholes..." Tucker groaned through the interview equipment as help started to get him out of there.
Backstage Segment: Woodcrest's Most Wanted Message to the Tag Division
The segments with a feed coming from a party in a house somewhere in DC, which showed Woodcrest's Most Wanted, Ed & Gin, sitting on a couch together, surrounded by hot bitches and booze as they lived it up.
"Aaayyyeee...yes...that's some sweet ass, right there..." Ed hummed in pleasure as he held some ladies around him. "Yeah, ya got it good..."
"Yo, muddaphukkas, what's up?" Gin stated as he took a swig of some beer. "This is your boys, the Woodcrest's Most Wanted, showing out from the nation's capital. Shoutout to our homeboy, Tyson Blake, for setting this up to celebrate our victory last week."
"Yeah, we finally got back at those army muddaphukkas! They the real wananbes! Shit, that small dude wanna talk shit and all that?! Well he taking a big fat L, and he lucky he didn't take more like us shoving our AKs up his ass!" Ed shouted as the women snuggled up to him.
"You can say what ya want about us having to 'cheat' to win...but fuck ya'll, they the ones who stole a victory from us in the first place. What goes around comes around, and a win's a win. We can do whatever want to those jackasses, and they better know their place now. Just a bunch of damn millennial who think they hot shit, before they realize they ain't hot shit! That them millennials are actually the homeless!"
"Couldn't hold a jockstrap to us... Hmmm...I like the way you hold me, bitch... Yeah, just like that..." Ed grinned at the woman he held.
"So consider this us finally proving ourselves to superior to the so-called Army of Two." Gin sneered. "And also consider it a message to the entire Tag Division. We know it's gaining steam, finally building back up. New teams coming in, the champs on top...well guess what? We're putting you all on notice, this division is officially gonna be ours. When we come to a place, we come with an intention to shoot it up and take what we want. And what we want is those Tag Team Titles those Elrics shortstacks got."
"Yeah, and they ain't gonna stop us from taking those title! We gonna screw them up so bad we-" Ed never finished because the door bell rang. "Ah come on, really?!"
"Ah shit, that's just stupid timing. Ed, go get the damn door." Gin told his partner.
"Why do I gotta do it, I'm up to my arms in bitches here!" Ed retorted.
"Just open the damn door already, Ed, it's probably the damn pizza!" Gin urged angrily.
"Phuk you. Lazy muddaphukka..." Ed muttered as he went over to the door, carrying the women with him.
"As my partner was saying before he was rudely interrupted...the Elrics won't know what hit them. We're the baddest guys around in this Tag Division, and when we become Tag Champs, trust me...we gonna make this place a living hell for anyone who dares to challenge u-"
THE DOOR WAS BARRELED RIGHT THROUGH AS ED TRIED TO OPEN IT, CRUSHING HIM WITH THE DOOR! The partygoers screamed in shock as Gin was floored.
"What the phuk?! WHO THE HELL...?!" Gin shot up in shock as he looked at who did it...
...AND IT WAS RIOS, WHO BARRELED THROUGH THE DOOR! He stared down at Ed who was lying under the door in pain and SALEM walked right in, splaying his arms out as he said "Hey, mind if we crash the party?" before running AND JUMPING ON GIN, RAINING FISTS DOWN AS THE PARTYGOERS BEGAN TO RUN AWAY!
*Skip*
Everyone in the party had deserted as the Army of Two were causing some serious destruction, Salem picking up Gin and nailing a Step Up Tornado DDT off a wall on him! Ed was trying to get up from under the door, but Rios just picked him up with the door and slammed the ENTIRE THING onto Ed to knock him back down! Salem caught two beers on the coffee table and picked them up, throwing one to Rios as they both drank them down.
"...Hey, this is some damn good bear, Rios." Salem admitted.
"At least they got good taste in alchohol." Rios concurred BEFORE THEY BOTH BROKE THE BOTTLES OVER WMW'S HEADS!
Salem then picked up Gin and threw him onto the coffee table, turning to Rios. "Bet your fat ass can't clear that couch over there."
Rios began to stretch and warm-up. "All-American Long Jumper in high school."
"Bullshit. Prove it." Salem grinned as Rios nodded and ran AND JUMPED OVER THE COUCH TO SPLASH GIN THROUGH THE COFFEE TABLE!
"...Okay, you're decent. I give you a 7 out of 10. Could've used more grace." Salem gave an "eh" motion. "Here, help me with the other jackass!"
The two then went over to Ed and Rios held up the door and they placed Ed against it, and Salem actually climbed up the nearby stairs to the top, sitting himself across the stairwell as Ed was laying across the door held up by Rios.
"This one is gonna be a ten out of a ten, Rios!" Salem grinned.
"Try and make it to the bottom first, Salem, then we'll talk on perfect tens." Rios retorted...
...AS SALEM SLID DOWN THE STAIRWELL AND FLIPPED OFF IT TO SENTON BOMB ED THROUGH THE DOOR!
"...Six out of ten." Rios stated.
"Fuck you, that was at least a nine." Salem groaned in retort.
*Skip*
The party had been deserted...and Ed and Gin were left lying across the floor of their party house in utter pain, as Rios and Salem regrouped in front of them.
"Next time, don't advertise your victory party everywhere, assholes." Salem threw a poster which had Ed's handiwork of advertising the party. "And next time, don't screw us over. We don't take too kindly to that stuff."
"We know you'll want vengeance, so we'll be ready. But you don't get to walk away from this. This war is far from over. See you next week." Rios stated.
Salem then took a swig of beer he swiped and said, "Damn, at least they knew their beer. Crazy party, huh?"
"Not as crazy as the one I had in college. Trust me, the pandas and cops are a bad mix. Never mix them up." Rios replied as the two walked out of the house, leaving the two mercenaries in pain on the floor...and without a doubt, wanting vengeance when they regained themselves...
Hardcore Title Match: Ben Tennyson (c) vs. ?
Ben Tennyson was in the ring, Hardcore Title over his shoulder as he shouted out "Come on! Bring the villain out! I need to be the hero UCA needs pronto!"
"Ben being a self-righteous, delusional asshole like always..." Church groaned. "But who the hell could possibly challenge for the Hardcore Title?"
"I bet it's going to be a true Red through and through! Only a Red could challenge a great hero like Ben! MAKE IT SO, FORCE!" Sarge shouted.
Ben jumped up and down, waiting for whoever came out to challenge him until...
("How I Could Just Kill A Man" by Cypress Hill)
Ben raised an eyebrow at the music...but then his expression turned into indignation at NIKO BELLIC coming out of the back, rubbing his wrists. He stared down Ben Tennyson, muttering "Your title is mine, 'hero,' whether you like it or not," before he made his way down the ramp.
"And on his way to the ring, making his UCA debut, from Serbia, now residing in Liberty City, weighing in at 235 lbs...NIKO BELLIC!" Cait Sith announced.
"And well SHIT! It's our very own Grand Theft badass in Niko Bellic! From the battlefields of the Yugoslavia wars to the mean streets of Liberty City, we got ourselves one hardcore bastard right here! He's going to right feel at home challenging for the Hardcore Title! What a way to debut!" Church exclaimed.
"ANOTHER criminal! What are we running, an asylum around here?! Ben is trying to be the hero, and you want to bring in criminal Blues
Ben couldn't believe it, as he shouted "Are you kidding me?! Force, I'm trying to be your hero! Stop infecting the company when you don't need to!" while Niko just rolled his eyes "Just shut up and fight, Tennyson. I got a lot of friends who want to kick your teeth in. I'm doing it for them"...
*Skip*
- Ben was not happy that another known criminal was in UCA, and but he promised he would make him regret coming by immediately going after Niko viciously. Ben nailed him with hard slams and stiff strikes, initially overwhelming as he was legitimately trying to hurt Niko really bad. But that all changed when they got outside the ring, and Niko managed to nail Ben with a trash can lid he pulled from under the ring. And from there, Niko pulled the match into his territory, with weapons galore being thrown into the fray from chairs to trash cans to bats to whatever you can name it, and proceeded to punish him with them all. He even ducked a boot from Ben and slammed a bat into his KIWIS, which caused unimaginable pain, followed by a White Russian Legsweep with the bat!
- However, all it took was a mistake to change the tide as Niko got a little too reliant on the weapons as he tried to do a Diving Chair-Aided Elbow Drop to a trash can-wearing Ben, but the hero slipped out of it at the last second, causing Niko to crush only the can. He was stunned by it, and Ben quickly grabbed Niko and nailed an Inverted DDT onto the chair! Ben's recent expertise in violent matches was starting to show as he was more far comfortable in hardcore environments than he had ever been, turning the tide against Niko as he used the weapons against him. Even going so far as slamming his head down with a chair against his throat, causing his throat great pain, before suddenly giving him a Galaxy on that chair!
- However, Niko's resourcefulness came into play as Ben went for a Galaxy Strike, BUT GOT BRASS KNUCKLES TO THE ELBOW! Ben held the elbow in pain before getting a spinning brass knuckles punch to the face, and From there, it was a war of attrition as the two went at each other, all for the right to be Hardcore Champion! Ben tried to give Niko the Omni-Slam, but he got off his shoulders and Ben turned around to catch a chair tossed to him AND BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE! Shades of ANOTHER GTA protag as made the cover! ONE...TWO...KICKOUT! Ben kicked out, just in time, but Niko could feel the title! So he set the chair in the middle of the ring, and tried to hook the arms for the Grand Theft Auto (Future Shock DDT) BUT BEN SUDDENLY SPUN OUT IT AND NAILED THE INTERGALACTIC ON THE CHAIR! Niko was laid out, and Ben makes the cover for the three count to retain the Hardcore Title!
- Ben had retained the title as he stood up against the ropes, given his title as he raised it above his head. The Hero Always Wins. But Niko had put up a great fight against a great veteran, he definitely had something as the fans gave him applause as he was getting back up AND BEN GAVE HIM ANOTHER INTERGALACTIC! The cheers turned to boos as Ben shook his head, shouting "This is why I am the hero! Because villains like him keep infecting UCA! I must fight against the corruption... Starting with Gordon Freeman!" before he took his leave. Ben took his heroing seriously...and he would stop at nothing to "cleanse" UCA.
Backstage Segments: Lightning's Response to DFW's Zinnia
Lightning was walking through the hallways, still frustrated over what happened earlier...when Donut walked up to her, mic in hand and upbeat as always.
"Hey, Lightning! What's up? Sent you an invitation to my tea party, you know, manly stuff. Sorry you didn't make it. But man, that was one big package that got thrown at you. Bet it was too much to deal with." Donut was cheery as Lightning just deadpanned at that...well...remark. "Ah, don't worry! It happens to the best of us! I mean, one time-"
"What kind of question did you come here to ask me, Donut?" Lightning sighed.
"Oh right! Well, a bunch of guy came up since all my friends are dying one by one by Bowser's hand, so me and Caboose gotta carry the load! So, we all know you got a title defense coming up...but at the Post-Clash Bash, you're facing DFW's Mother of Dragons, Zinnia! And she...had some choice words to say about you recently. About how you came about your accomplishments. Got any words in return?"
Lightning mused for a moment, actually gathering her thoughts on that...
"Well...what can I say to someone like Zinnia?" Lightning began. ""If nothing else, I can appreciate the guts she has for coming after me with no remorse. Don't wait for your spot, try to take it. Always live by that. But the thing is, she basically said I needed a 'group' to get to where I am. As if I didn't earn ANY of it on my own. And that...is where she's wrong. See, the RR helped me get my name out there. Helped me take the next step in my evolution...but everything I am now, who's standing before you now is self-made. I fought, clawed, and earned every scrap and bit I have, damned what anyone else thought of me! Why? Because I was better than anyone else that came before! The RR didn't win any of my matches for me, I did. I won them all on my own, and i'm sorry if she doesn't acknowledge that...especially since she seems to have a tough time doing that herself."
Lightning shook her head. "...She's talented. She's a truly gifted wrestler. One could say she's the future, and I'm not going to dispute that. DFW is lucky to have her...but see here's the thing: she misunderstands when people call her a choker. She think it's because they feel she can't win. But that's not it. She can win. She's proven it. She can win plenty. ...But Zinnia, let's face it...you can't win when it matters most. Every time you've tried, you have failed. That's a fact. And maybe instead of trying to throw up stats, maybe you should just realize...maybe you aren't good enough. I should know. But you're going to shoot for the top in spite of that. I can't hate that, that's what I did. But what I can say...is that you're going to come up short. That big win you're looking for...I'm going to stomp on it in front of your eyes and watch your hope die."
Lightning stared at the camera in front of her...perhaps at Zinnia herself... "...I could be facing truly bigger names this Supershow. Satsuki, Tina, Mars, Gwen, Sora and many more. Those are matches people want to see, but apparently, they put me against YOU. ...But you know what? I'm fine with this. Because you got what you wanted: you have my attention. And that means 100 percent of what I bring. So come the Post-Clash Bash, you're going to get your big match...and you're going to do what you're always do in these spots...choke. And it's going to be because you bit off more than you can chew. Roar at that, Mother of Dragons. See you in two weeks."
Lightning walked off, title over her shoulder with a purpose in her step, and Donut watched her walked off. "Well, wasn't that a big ol' ball to unload! I hope she feels so much better! And hey, I didn't di-" He felt a presence behind him and he stiffened. "...Please no..." before he turned around...
...and came face to face with Chief actually, who stared at him.
"Oh. Well, thank God, I'm not going to d-"
"Where's Star Force? I know you've seen him." Chief stated bluntly.
Donut was about to speak, until Cortana showed up to also add, "Please don't openn your mouth unless it's to answer. Chief's not really in the mood. And when he isn't...you really don't want to chance it. Trust me, I know."
"Uuuhhhh...I think I saw him go towards the production room..." Donut muttered...and Chief simply moved past the interviewer, and walked off to find his target for good.
"...Star Force is so dead when Chief gets his hands on him." Donut stated.
In-Ring Segment: The Blue Blur Confronts the Greatest Champion Ever
Sonic stood in the ring, taped up from Revenge of the Fallen, tapping his foot in a super fast manner with a mic in hand, thinking deeply before he began.
"I'm here for a very big reason. But before I get to that, I want to get to my opponent at Post-Clash Bash...the great Bugs Bunny." The crowd cheered loudly at that name. "The very first face of UCA. The rabbit that helped build this company from the ground up. Man, me and him go way back. We were there when the company began, practically giving it notoriety that would one day put it on the level that it once was at. And me and him used to go at it a few times back in the day. Now look at us...off in different companies. But ready to go at it once more in a few weeks. This time, not as legend vs rookie...but legend vs legend. Now Bugs, you and I are cut from the same cloth...but I want you to know..." Sonic smirked. "I really am ready to prove I'm better than you cooler than you. Because it's high time these fans get to know who's really the cool animal between us, the best that this business has to offer. At Post-Clash Bash, we finally fight as EQUALS...and this time, Bugs...I'm going to leave you in my dust, and start my race back to the main event. So sorry it's gotta be you, but it happens to the best of us."
"But like I said, you and I are in some very similar situations." Sonic's expression turned serious. "You got a duck to deal with...and me...I have a plumber. So Mario...get your ass out here now. We gotta talk to do."
Sonic waited as the crowd was in anticipation...
("Glorious Domination" by CFO$)
The crowd booed loudly as Super Mario came out, his expression even as he stared down Sonic, who stared back at him...
"Oh boy...Mario and Sonic...months after Royal Reckoning, in a ring one on one with each other with no limits on what to say to each other." Church stated.
"The tension in the air is thick...but let me tell you right now...Sonic...is a dirtbag. He's the dirtbag here. Info known from your friendly neighborhood Red." Sarge nodded.
*Skip*
The two iconic gaming mascots stared each other down, one feeling the insane amount of history just from the eye contact alone until dialogue began...
"...Well? You-a have my attention after what you-a pulled last night." Mario began.
"Yep, I sure did!" Sonic admitted with no shame. "Didn't I tell you, Mario? I wanted vengeance on you for Royal Reckoning, but I was first going to get it on Bowser. And once I did, I was going to come right back at you. Of course, I knew you had some Toads on the mind, so I had to get your attention in the only way that works: beaning that big skull of yours. Hope you understand."
"So-a what now? Trying to-a win a war you've already lost?" Mario sneered. "You-a lost at Royal Reckoning, and you-a lost at Last Stand! You-a lose almost all the-a time when it comes to us. Why do you-a keep fighting when I always come-a out on top? How-a many times do I have-a to beat you-a down for you-a to get the point?!"
"Oh Mario, after all these decades, you still don't know me that well." Sonic shook his head. "You should know that I always come back kicking and fighting, especially when it comes to you. Because how much have you done to me over the years? Huh? Broken both my legs for one? Kicked me out of the WWE? Continued to harass me in WCW? Attack my friends? Hell, that's just the TAME STUFF, we'd be here all day if I went down the laundry list. I think I have every right to go after you for what you've done to me. Hell, you're the one who STARTED it all! YOU'RE the one who made this personal back in 1996, when you turned on me like you did! We could have bee friendly rivals...but you just HAD to push it then, didn't you?"
"I'm-a going to stop you-a right there!" Mario interjected. "I-a started it? YOU-A were the one who started it! Always acting so-a cool, cocky and-a thinking you were above it all! You-a always tried to embarrass me, with your smart-aleck attitude! I-a was the hero who-a did everything right, tried-a to be a role model, while you were the one who-a played fast and loose with the rules, and with-a me especially! 'SEGA does what Nintendon't?' You-a were the most arrogant person I've ever met, and you-a did all you-a could to embarrass me without a hint of remorse! And the fact that-a these people actually took to your-a damn attitude sickened me! They-a actually would rather cheer a rogue like you instead of a hero like me! Well, I-a wouldn't stand for it, or the embarrassment you put me through!"
"Oh please, are we really doing this?" Sonic groaned as made a disbelieving motion. "You know, I'm sorry for being me! I'm just a hedgehog who likes to run fast like the wind, and go with my own style! I'm sorry I didn't fit your model hero, plumber boy, but I just would be Sonic if I did, would I? And hey, if these fans took it, then that's on them. Not my fault they may have liked me more than you! That's your own insecurities about yourself and me when it came to down to it! Hell, you know what? Considering what you said...I wouldn't be surprised that despite everything that's happened in the world of wrestling and gaming...people STILL like me more than you, and you're jealous of that."
Mario actually laughed at that assertion, "Ahahahah...mamma mia! Jealous? What do I have-a to be-a jealous about?! It's-a ME! SUPER MARIO! The greatest gaming character ever! I'm-a worth MILLIONS! I'm-a the Greatest Champion Ever, the Champion of Life, I win at EVERYTHING I do in life! I'm Mr. Nintendo, the face of the gaming company that-a doesn't stop innovating! I'm-a legend that wins the World Title wherever I go! You? You're-a NOTHING, Sonic! All that talk in the 90s? It-a was false bravado! You FAILED! And you're-a nothing more than a fading face for a company that-a doesn't even make consoles anymore You're-a irrelevant in the gaming world now...and you're-a so bad at wrestling that GPW-a doesn't even want you anymore! But-a hey, it's-a all right...it's not a crime to not be as fast as Super Mario when you-a can't come close in even kart racing..."
The crowd went "Oooooohhh..." as Sonic turned away, irritated at the insinuation Mario put on him over speed of all things, and Mario smirked. Sonic moved the mic up and down, before a frustrated grin appeared on his face.
"...So? Is this what you want, Mario? Fine, you got it, plumber boy. Guess what? ...NINTENDO WON THE CONSOLE WARS!" Sonic admitted.
The crowd gasped in shock, and Mario's eyes widened, not believing what he just heard. Sonic, admitting THAT on live television, no one would have thought it...
"That's right, I said it. Mario and Nintendo won the Console Wars against me and SEGA. I'm not afraid to say it. I'm man enough to admit that we're beaten." Sonic nodded. "But guess what, Mario? That doesn't change who I am. It doesn't change the SEGA pride I have in me. I am proud to be the mascot and face of SEGA, I always will be! And I may not always hit the high water mark...but that never stops me. I always get back up and try again, because that's the kind of person I am. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, and I always will be! You won the Wars, Mario...but at what cost? It CHANGED you! You used to be such a fun guy...but all the success and winning you did since then changed you! Certainly did back in 1996, and it's only gotten worse. Now, you're nothing but an egotistical asshole, who at times, can't help but be miserable despite all he's gone through! Because it's never enough. Hell, you always bring up this success instead of letting it speak for itself. Why? ...I have a feeling." Sonic leaned into Mario's face. "Because unlike me...you're not secure in who you are. Because you're worried that despite all of what you've said...people will always think I'm cooler than you, no matter how much of a poser you try to be..."
The crowd went "Ooooohhhh" even louder as Mario threw his hat down in anger at that remark before staring daggers at Sonic...
"I'm-a not INSECURE! I'm-a not ANGRY that they-a like you-a over me!" Mario glared at Sonic. "You-a want the truth? I'm-a angry that these people and all-a these companies want-a to latch onto an-a old relic like-a YOU! You-a who keeps on thinking this-a the 90s where-a being cocky and aloof is 'cool,' and yet-a keeps falling flat on-a his face in the gaming world! Who has-a to go back to 2D of all things to even be considered GOOD! All-a these companies want-a to prop you-a as something great when you-a haven't won anything on-a top in FOREVER! Yet all-a everyone wants-a to do is-a kiss your ass! AND I'M SICK OF IT! I'm-a sick of-a everyone propping up defeated garbage like you! I HATE YOU! I hate your-a speed, your-a shoes, your-a company, your-a friends, I hate EVERYTHING about you! I can't stand you because you are a worthless-a relic, nowhere-a close to my-a equal anymore, YET YOU-A KEEP TRYING TO GET IN MY-A WAY! JUST STAY OUT-A MY LIFE FOR GOOD, LET ME BE THE GREAT-A HERO I AM!"
"And that gives you the right to do what you've done to me?!" Sonic barked back. "My friends have suffered because of you! My ability to run with the wind, the thing I treasure most, has been taken by you TWICE! And who knows what else, it's been so long, I've probably forgotten some things! You think just because you're Mario, the Greatest Champion of Life or whatever, that you can do whatever you want? I'm sorry, that line of thinking needs to receive an asskicking! I'm not going to let you ruin my life, or anyone else's anymore! Because unlike you, I actually got some balls! You know what SEGA still does that Nintendon't? Being a MAN."
"And you know what you and SEGA also do? ...Be our BITCH." Mario proclaimed.
The crowd couldn't believe it as Sonic and Mario were now in each other's faces, tension about to blow between them as fists were ready to throw down. Words couldn't be taken back as glares were dealt...and Sonic spoke...
"You know what? ...I'm sick. Sick of YOU. Sick of Nintendo. Sick of your Kingdom. I'm SICK...OF ALL THIS!" Sonic proclaimed. "I'm sick and TIRED of all this. Just...tired." Sonic sighed in relief, and Mario looked on him in confusion. "...How long have we been doing this, Mario? Seriously? For thirty years maybe? In how many companies?"
"...VGW...VGPW...WWE...WCW...UWE...GWA...CWA... There may be more... We've fought in so many companies that I've actually lost count..." Mario grimaced.
"You know I watched Red and Blue destroy each other in Hell in a Cell at Final Clash." Sonic revealed. "And I saw them nearly kill each other, but you also know what I saw? ...I saw you and me, in the exact same situation as them. And guess what? It made me realize that like them...I'm just tired of this. I'm tired of always fighting you with no end in sight. Of always having this stuff done to each other. Of ending things in one company, only for it start back up in another! It's gotten so bad, we even got the Gijinka personification of our companies nearly beating each other's brains in in GPW over this. I don't think there's even been a rivalry like ours...and there probably won't be ever again. And there shouldn't be. Because this has been too much. Mario...
...this needs come to an end."
The crowd gasped in shock, standing on their feet as they couldn't believe what they were hearing. Even Mario couldn't believe, his eyes were widening...
"You can't be seriously considering...?" Mario muttered.
Sonic, however, was serious as can be. "I joke a lot...but not this time. Because I'm done with this. I'm done fighting you, Mario. And one way or another, we're settling this. You know...it's actually a bit ironic that I'm facing Bugs of all people. Because like I said, him with the duck is so similar with you and me. And...they actually had the same idea I do about this. Hell, CeCe and NeNe had the same idea. It's like...this is one of the only way to settle these long-standing wars. Steals a bit of my thunder, but guess what? That's not stopping me. So Mario, at War Zone...our rivalry is going to END...
...with two words...
...
...
...
...I...
...QUIT!"
The crowd exploded in massive cheers at that as Mario couldn't believe it, and Sonic stared down as he said, "So what do you say, Mario? You can either back off and let this continue on for who knows how long? Or put all that pride on the line to finally decide who is better between us? It's up to you, plumber boy! Don't disappoint."
Mario rubbed his mustache as he thought deeply about this, and Sonic tapped his foot impatiently, wanting an answer pronto. Mario looked around the crowd, and saw the feelings of the crowd, searched his own...before turning back to Sonic...
"...You-a know what? ...MAMMA MIA, YOU'RE ON!" The crowd was going CRAZY at that acceptance as Sonic nodded. "And at War Zone, I-a finally show the world who is truly superior...and that's the Greatest Champion of Life Ever...SUUUUUUUUPER MAAAAARRRIIOOOO!"
Sonic stared down Mario before he let out a tiny smirk and said, "Whatever you say, Plumber Boy...but in a few weeks, this'll be all over. And when it is...I Gotta Juice, while you're finally quitting for good."
No more words were spoken as the two gaming mascots stared each other down, hatred and an intense desire to win it all finally brimming between each other...
"...We...may finally be witnessing the end of one of the great rivalries of our business... And it's not going to be pretty..." Church muttered.
"It's truly going to be a war zone between these two. And only one of these mascots will utter the humiliating words...I Quit." Sarge proclaimed.
Backstage Segment: Riku's Quest for Validation
We go backstage to see Riku sitting on a chair, getting himself ready for a match he was going to have later tonight. And as he was preparing himself...his friend and partner, Sora, came walking up to him, a raised eyebrow about him.
"Gee, you couldn't tell me you were going to do that to Tidus BEFORE my title match?" Sora questioned.
"What can I say? I like to surprise you, since you seem always slow on the uptake." Riku grinned.
"Oh haha, very funny, Riku." Sora rolled his eyes with a chuckle. "But seriously, I did not expect that. Cruiserweight Title? Thought that was my deal, not yours. What gives?"
Riku remained silent for a bit before he began... "All this time, I've watched you, Sora. Have this success over and over again. You have practically succeeded in whatever division you were a part of. Even won a World Title. And for the most part, I've been right behind you, just supporting you in general."
"You did join the Rival Empire though..." Sora muttered.
"Let's call that...well...just a lapse in judgment. But I never stopped caring for you, Sora. I'm proud of you." Riku noted. "...But I haven't come close to what I suppose to be. I mean I've won a few titles here and there...but no matter what, I just haven't been able to do what you've been able to do. And honestly? That ticks me off. It really does. Because I KNOW I'm that good, but for whatever reason I just keep falling short of the mark. And I'm just...frustrated with it all. Frustrated with never reaching the top..."
"Riku..." Sora muttered.
"But that ends today. We all gotta start somewhere on our quest to the top, right? I'm starting where you did...with the Cruiserweight Title. You had your chance, Sora...now it's my turn. I'm not going to wait anymore, be satisfied where I am. I'm going to validate myself once and for all. And show the world who Riku is. And that Tidus kid is going to be the one to pay for it. He's very good, no doubt...but all I hear about him is how great he is, how he inherited so much from Jecht and all that...and honestly, I'm sick of it. He's not all that, not compared to me...and I plan on showing that tonight when my Triple Threat Match. I got Tidus' attention...now I'm going to prove I deserve a title shot, and that he's not as good as everyone thinks he is."
Sora paused for a moment as he digested this...before suddenly speaking... "Hey Riku...not that I'm not supporting you or anything, but...if I had won that Three-Way Match, and became Champion...what would you have done then? Seriously?"
Silence reigned between the two of them at that thought, Riku not deigning to give a response. And Sora looked on worriedly at him, not liking it until...
"Hahahaha...come on, Sora." Riku laughed as he stood and patted Sora on the shoulder. "That doesn't really matter. Doesn't really affect what we got going on right now. Besides, we're always going to be friends, right?"
Sora blinked twice...before chuckling and nods with a grin. "Yeah, no doubt! We're not going to go against each other so easily! ...But if we did, I would totally win."
"Get real. You'd still lose like our days back on the island." Riku smirked as he and Sora walked off. "Now I gotta prepare, and you better help me or-" Riku stopped as they turned a corner...
...
...AND SAW BOWSER WITH POOR JIMIKEN ON HIS SHOULDER AND BOWSER BOMBING HIM THROUGH A TABLE! Bowser was on a rampage as Luigi tried to stomp him, having come across the situation but he got grabbed AND THROWN STRAIGHT THROUGH A WALL! An official tried to run away, but Bowser grabbed him and CHOKESLAM ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR! Bowser gave a massive roar as he spewed fire, people trying to stop him to no avail...
...and Riku just looked at Sora and said "You want to go the other way? I hear there are great snacks there."
"Totally, I'm all for those snacks! I'm starving!" Sora said quickly before the two immediately ran off, getting away from THAT...
Singles Match: Gold vs Yoshi
- The next match was Gold facing off against the powerhouse of the Kingdom, Yoshi, and Gold was trying to bounce back after the tough loss to Wolfgang last week. He wanted to put his name back on the map, and get back to trying to win the World Title. But Yoshi wasn't going to make it easy, who wanted a win for the Kingdom after everything that happened. He used his power to overwhelm Gold at first, throwing him across the ring many times and even Powerslamming him as he was trying to come off the top. But Gold was a resourceful guy, as he took advantage of avoiding an Egg Scrambled as Yoshi hit the corner, stumbling out of it, and nailed an
- Gold was looking to try an end things, sizing up a downed Yoshi for the Gold Cutter...when suddenly, he got pulled out from the ring BY BOWSER! Bowser was here as he picked up a stunned Gold AND CHOKESLAMMED HIM ON THE PADDED CONCRETE! Bowser then slid into the ring AND SPEARED A RISING YOSHI OUT OF HIS NONEXISTENT BOOTS! Bowser then picked him up and BOWSER BOMBED HIM OVER THE ROPES TO THE OUTSIDE! He then saw Gold trying to get up, got out of the ring AND RAN AND SPEARED HIM THROUGH THE BARRICADE! Gold was laid out as Matt Newman, the ref tried to get Bowser to stop BUT GOT THROWN OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD! Bowser scowled until he GRABBED Cait's moogle AND SLAMMED IT THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE (quickly replaced
- Church and Sarge couldn't believe as people were scrambling, Sarge saying this is what happens you get in the Koopa King's way UNTIL HE GOT GRABBED BY BOWSER! Everyone was shocked as Bowser dragged Sarge from behind the table, grabbing a mic as he dragged him into the ring! He held him by the throat as he began to speak...
*Switching to live...*
"FORCE! Get out here NOW! Or otherwise, your stupid commentator is going to be in pieces. And I don't think he can be put back together, heh..." Bowser stated.
"What the hell is this?! BOWSER, YOU ASSHOLE! Are you that much of a fuckin' sore loser?! Sarge may be a dick, but he doesn't deserve this! LET HIM GO! ...As long as it's someone else doing it, because I would get MURDERED." Church admitted.
Bowser waited as Sarge was flailing about in his hands, "Bowser, let me go! I promise to give you Grif in return! PLEASE..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Force shouted as he finally came from the back, a stunned expression on his face. "Bowser, what the hell?! The rampage you've been on was egregious enough, but THIS?! This is crossing the line! What's the meaning of this?!"
"The meaning is me FINALLY taking my matters into my own hands!" Bowser growled. "I'm sick and tired of coming up short. For years I had to wait to get an ACTUAL World Title shot, so I had to basically cut a deal with my hated enemy to get it. And when I do, I get screwed by that blue rodent! And over and over, my chance to finally reach what has eluded me is taken from me by him! And then last night...my match with him ends...because HE GOT LUCKY?! Victory over him taken from me by a LUCKY FOOT?! Time and time again, I have been wronged and screwed over! NO OVER! I'm finally getting what I DESERVE, no matter what anyone says!"
Bowser looked down at the commentator in his hand... "Which is why right now...you're going to give me what I want...and that's a World Heavyweight Title Match. Here and now. If you don't...I'm going to go Bane on this commentator's back. And trust me...I'm fully capable of it. So...what do you say, Force? Give m what I want...and we all come out of this happy."
"Are you kidding me?! He's using Sarge as a HOSTAGE to get what he wants?! THIS DAMN KOOPA KING! I'm sorry you can't win a World Title, and you're taking it out on others! YOU DICK!" Church shouted angrily.
Force looked ANGRY at this demand, shaking before replying... "Are you KIDDING me?! You're going to try to play this game with me?! Unbelievable! If you think I'm just going to fold into your demands, you got another thing coming! Since I founded this company, I have made sure no one could just do whatever they want with this company, that's what I promised to myself! And you aren't going to change that! You want to try and breaking Sarge's back to get what you want!? Well let me tell you this, if you do that...you're not getting a World Title Match, instead...YOU'RE FIRED! And you'll never get the World Title you so desperately want! SO BACK OFF OR ELSE!"
The crowd cheered at Force not bending the knee to Bowser, who looked down at the ground in contemplation (as Sarge tried to pry himself comedically off his arm to no avail) before he looked up and replied...
...
"...Do it."
"WHAT?!" Church exclaimed.
Force was SHOCKED as everyone couldn't believe it as Bowser sneered "...I said do it. Fire me. I dare you. Because if you fire me...that's not going to stop me. I'm still going to come here and destroy what I want, and I don't think there's a soul in the back capable of stopping me. And even if I'm not able to come back...I can always take myself elsewhere. GPW would be happy to have me to challenge you. Or maybe CCW, I'm sure Zero wouldn't mind me doing what I want over there. Or perhaps XCW, the anonymous chairman wouldn't mind a recognizable name. And I'm positive they can give me what I want compared to YOU. But no matter what I do...you lose. Why? Because there's a Sarge with a broken back on your hands, because you weren't reasonable. So...it's up to you. You have about ten seconds to decide."
Force couldn't believe it, holding his head as he tried to figure out what to do. He couldn't just give Bowser what he wanted, that would open a Pandora's box...but he couldn't let Sarge get murdered like he was about to. He didn't deserve that, he had t-
"Time's up." Bowser suddenly exclaimed as he suddenly lifted Sarge into a military press above his head!
"SWEET MERCY ON A BUN STICK, GRIF, USE YOUR BODY TO SHIELD ME AND SACRIFICE YOUR BACK!" Sarge shouted.
"NO NO NO NO N-" Church ranted as Bowser threw Sarge d-
"OKAY! YOU HAVE YOUR TITLE SHOT!"
Bowser stopped
"Okay...okay... You have your World Title shot. But only if you put him down, and let him go, Bowser. Please... Let Sarge go. He has nothing to do with this..." Force breathed out.
"FUCK. Force couldn't just let Bowser do it. He had a damn heart, and the Koopa King knew it. He took advantage of that to get what he wanted...FUCK EVERYTHING..." Church cursed.
Bowser took this in...before he smirked and dropped Sarge down and threw him away with no problems, leaving the Red leader to roll out of the ring, barely believing he survived. The Koopa King gave his video game laugh, hands on his hips before saying "Good. Glad we came to a deal. Thanks for understanding" and was about to walk out of the ring...
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, f-"
"Hold on. You got your title shot...but only if you do one thing."
Bowser looked up in shock as the crowd did the same, Force glared at him hard as Bowser frowned. "What?"
"You heard me. You got your title shot. I had to give you that to save Sarge, I understand." Force admitted. "But you think I'm giving you a free pass to that shot? Hell no, not after what you pulled, that's not how we run things! So you got your shot, I can't change that. But what I can change is EVERYTHING AROUND IT AND LEADING TO IT! PUNISHMENT FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"
Bowser was incredulous as Force continued... "So here's what's going to happen: you're going to get your World Title Match at Breakdown. The PPV after War Zone. But in order to get that title shot...you're going to have win a match at War Zone itself. That's right, you're actually going to have to earn it! Oh and guess what? For everything you've done...if you lose this match...YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET ANOTHER WORLD TITLE SHOT FOR THE REST OF YOUR UCA CAREER!"
"HOLY SHIIIIIITT!" Church shouted.
Bowser roared in complete anger, the crowd cheering as Force continued... "And your opponent? If he wins, HE gets the title shot! So consider this a No. 1 Contender's Match for all intents and purpose! Who is it? Well you're arguably the most dangerous monster we've ever had. So there's only one hero I can trust to take you down for good...
...
...
...WCW'S FINEST...THE TICK!"
"OH MY FUCKIN' GOD! FORCE WITH THE BOOOMMBB!" Church shouted.
Bowser was absolutely angry at his title shot being manipulated and dangled in front of him. He was so angry, he was about to go up and tear Force apart until-
(The Tick Cartoon Theme)
The crowd absolutely went bonkers as Force had a slight smirk on his face as THE TICK came out...tripping over nonexistent shoelaces and splatting on his face! But he quickly pulled himself off the stage and posed, shouting "Fear not, loyal citizens! For I am ready to deliver the shining SPOOOONN of justice and turn him into TURTLE SOUP!" before RUNNING DOWN THE RAMP TOWARDS BOWSER!
"IT'S THE TICK! THE TICK IS HERE, AND HE'S PROBABLY SEEN WHAT BOWSER HAS DONE! HE'S SEEN ENOUGH AND ABOUT TO GO 90S ON BOWSER'S ASS!" Church shouted.
The Tick slid into the ring, but was met with thunderous hammer blows from Bowser wanting to tear apart the hero for getting in his way! Bowser then tried to Chokeslam him, but Tick landed behind him and began to throw erratic fists everywhere to the crowd's right, actually stunning the monster! The Tick then ran the ropes but got a boot to the face! Bowser growled and looked to hurt Tick and placed him between his legs for the Bowser Bomb-Tick dropped down and actually CRAWLED BETWEEN HIS LEGS! Bowser couldn't believe the absurdity of that, but turned around into a grab AND GOT BELLY-TO-BELLIED OVER THE ROPES! THE TICK DUMPED THE MONSTER! Bowser landed on his feet though and raged at The Tick, who stood his ground in the ring, shouting "Your mushrooms and turtles will do you no good here, evildoer! For I will protect all the princesses who can't do anything themselves...and save this city from your dark, short, weird claw thingies! Soon...UCA will be saved from you forever! SPOOOOOOOOOOONNN!" The crowd shouted it along with him as Bowser glared at him from outside the ring, promising destruction upon him...
...all while Force watched this, and had a slight smirk on his face as he muttered "Take him down, Tick..." before walking to the back...
"BOWSER GOT WHAT HE WANTED! BUT NOT WITHOUT A PRICE! FORCE MADE SURE HE HAD TO PAY FOR IT! IT'S GOING TO BE THE TICK AND BOWSER! ONE ON ONE AT WAR ZONE WITH A WORLD TITLE SHOT ON THE LINE! AND BOWSER'S WORLD TITLE SHOTS IN GENERAL ON THE LINE! KICK HIS ASS, TICK! KICK...HIS...ASS!" Church shouted.
Sarge had managed to get back to his seat... "...I once bowed to a King. Thinking he was a Red. ...I was wrong. ...He is nothing more than DIRTBAG BLUE WHO CAN CHOKE ON HIS OWN FAILURES TO THE GREATEST RED EVER! The Tick is a blue...but I will cheer him for his foe is EVEN BLUER THAN HE IS! DESTROY HIM, TICK! DESTROY HIM!" Sarge exclaimed.
"...Good to have you back, Sarge. ...Annoying as you fucking are. Never change." Church nodded.
Vignette: Arthur Paul Onais Shows Off His Superiority
The vignette begins which shows Arthur Paul Onais, standing on some platform, with a grin on his face and wearing a singlet of sorts.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Arthur Paul Onais, otherwise known as A...P...O." APO proclaimed proudly. "Now you know me as a member of the Cruiserweight Division. Which I am clearly superior to in every way possible, to anybody in it on such a fundamental level, it's like calling someone Captain Obvious. I am so much better, and my time would usually be better served in the true star bouts. But I'm willing to stay in this division for awhile...to prove who is the true better among them all on my way to real championships. But obviously, there are many in this division who would to challenge me. But I am here to prove that I am simply better than them at what they do."
"Such as the one known as Robin, or Nightwing. Whatever he calls himself these days." APO chuckled. "I've heard around some parts that underneath, he is actually a trapeze artist, his family used to be one. Very talented circus performer. However, I am here to show that when it comes to trapezing...you, my friend, pale in comparison. Observe."
Suddenly, he turns towards the edge of the stage, as the camera pans out to reveal he's in a massive circuit tent, with trapezes pendulum and other artists on them swinging back and forth with a gap of a hundred feet between the two platforms. The Mr. Perfect theme plays as APO readies himself...
...he then jumped off doing a backflip in the process, and grabbed onto the hands of an artist on a trapeze, then swung forward with him and then flipped off with a beautiful triple corkscrew into the arms of another trapeze artist, then flipped off that artist with a 450 spin before grabbing the next trapeze artist's as that person swung his way. And APO made each jump to the next trapeze with startling ease. And even at the last trapeze, he didn't even need to grab an artist hand as he grabbed the trapeze by jumping far enough! But at the trapeze swung forward, the platform was many feet away still, and it would take a crazy leap to make it! But APO was not deterred, as he swung with the trapeze before letting go, making a massive leap as all eyes were on him, going a crazy amount of distance...
...and he landed at the end of the platform with perfect balance! The crowd watching at the trapeze performance just cheered like crazy, giving APO an applause as he bowed to them all before turning to the camera.
"Beat that, Boy Wonder." APO grinned with a wink. "As you can see...I am simply the TRUE Greek Freak. And what you just saw...was the performance only a greek like myself could perform. And my superiority will be further established in the coming weeks. Your future Cruiserweight, but most importantly when I'm done taking down this Division, future Heavyweight Champion of the World, Arthur Paul Onais. Signing off."
Backstage Segment: Tifa Lockhart Confronts Her Current Standings in UCA
"Hey, Freckles, do you know where the rest of our friends are?" Caboose asked the miniature mechanical friend.
"Out of commission." Freckles replied robotically.
"Oh right, the big, scary turtle got them. Well, except Donut. ...Unfortunately." Caboose remarked. "I hope the big, mean turtle doesn't come after us. I like living. It really means a lot to me. And I like my brain. I want to keep it in my head."
"Caboose, come on, do your job! Interview the girl coming up, you've done it a million times before! Just do it!"
"Right. Uuuuummm...are you sure this is safe for-"
"JUST DO IT, CABOOSE!"
"Well that answers that questions. Alright, now the girl before me...is um...OH! TIFA! My favorite girl...I think!" Caboose remembered.
Tifa walked into view, already too used to Caboose's antics as she shook her head with a smile on her face...
"So um...you're lik emy favorite girl wrestler. I'm a huge fan. Buuuuttt, you aren't doing so good right now. So sorry... But um...where are you right now? Is there anything I can do? I can be your friend..." Caboose asked.
Tifa mulled over her words, before speaking, "Well...I'm sort of at a crossroads of my career. Lightning beat me. There's no question about that. Right now, it's her division, and I'm trying to find a new place in it. I've managed to find myself in a few crossover matches. I've won one against Paine...but I lost a big one in a Fatal 4-Way to Tina Armstrong. Even got pinned. So...I don't know where I am." Tifa sighed, but she maintained a positive outlook with a grin. "But that's never stopped me before! No matter what's thrown my way, I've always managed to find my way through it. So all I gotta do is find a new place for myself. Perhaps be a new gatekeeper even for the new talent that comes my way. I'm sure one day I'll be a Champion again, but for now, I don't mind trying a path for my new role. In fact, I think it's going to lead to-"
"Your eventual retirement?"
Tifa's expression dropped at the sound of the voice, and turned around...to face the Queen of Hearts, and the new Universal Queen, Sally Acorn adorned in the attire she gained from winning the tournament.
"Because that's all you should be doing right now. After all, what else can you honestly give? All you are is retreading old reruns. People are going to get bored. And I hate getting bored." Sally sighed.
"I didn't think you'd be interested in what I'd be doing, Sally." Tifa narrowed her eyes. "You seem to be doing well for yourself after all."
"Well I am the Universal Queen of Hearts now, and the FUTURE Women's Champion, whenever I decide to use my opportunity." Sally hummed to herself. "So yes, I am doing well for myself. But I couldn't help but overhear your dull, and cliche 'I'll come back' speech and just had to speak out. Because I couldn't help but find similarities between us. We're both veterans of long-standing, with great success...but have gone through hard times. But look at where we are...I am on the top of the world. While you...you're just wallowing in the dirt. It's so pathetic. After all, this is a "what have you done for me lately" business. But don't worry...I am here to decree you obsolete. And that you should kindly consider leaving before...bad things happen to you." Sally snickered to herself.
Tifa mulled over her words...before suddenly speaking, "You're right. I really am not doing well for myself. Compared to you, I have no recent success. ...But I rather have that than SELL MY SOUL for success."
Sally's expression dropped as Tifa glared at her. "That's what you did, Sally. You sold your soul to a man who may as well be the devil in The Joker. You weren't always the nicest person...but at least you never truly crossed the line. You just had arrogance. But now...look at you. You're a monster. A monster who took the easy way to the position she's in. And I'll never agree with that, or want to be where you are. So yeah...you're the Universal Queen. But only because you gave away what made you you to become...whatever is before me. And if I ever get back to that mountaintop...I'll do it as myself. Not some 'mad queen' like you. So if you excuse me, I need to go train and get ready to get back into the flow of things."
Tifa walked off past Sally on that note, leaving a stewing Sally Acorn to mull over her words. Caboose stared at her, before, in his naive innocence (stupidity) asked "Are you okay? Do you need a fr-" only to get SHOVED down through a stack of crates by a frustrated Sally, who then kicked Freckles away before stomping off, muttering, "Is that what you think, Tifa? How wrong you are...", leaving Caboose lying on the ground.
"I'm okay! I'm okay!" Caboose cried out...before a crate fell on him. "...I'm not okay!"
Singles Match: Gordon Freeman vs Monkey D. Luffy
- The crowd was amped up for this huge match as the NJPW and CWA legend, Luffy, was making a massive UCA debut against Gordon Freeman. The One Free Man was looking to claim the Hardcore Title off of Ben Tennyson, but he knew an opportunity was before him. An opportunity to defeat a legend, and prove himself among the rising stars. The crowd was cheering the whole time as Luffy had his usual grin and exclaimed "Alright, ready to go!" while Gordon simply nodded, the bell rung and Luffy charged AND GOT A CHAIR TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL! An immediate DQ was called off that as everyone was stunned as it was BEN who did it, glaring down at Luffy, and then at a surprised Gordon and swung the chair, but he ducked it and went with rights to the face.
- The two brawled with each other around the ring, Gordon pissed that Ben dared to interfere with his match with his Luffy, and promised to make him pay dearly. He eventually got the upperhand and set him up for the Resonance Cascade, but Ben managed to break free and nailed him with a Low Blow! With Gordon in pain, he grabbed the chair and cracked him over the skull with the chair. He then proceeded to slam the chair down onto his body over and over again until he picked him up AND INTERGALACTIC ONTO THE CHAIR! Ben stared down at the downed Gordon AND INTERGALACTIC TO A RISING LUFFY AS WELL! Ben has RUINED what was a highly anticipated bout as the crowd rained boos on him.
- Ben grabbed a mic and proclaimed that this is what he had to do. Despite all the hard work he did in saving UCA over and over again, villains everywhere kept cropping up everywhere in UCA! Given unjust title shots for his belt, being praised as high-profile signings, being treated as heroes by the public, when they were nothing but criminals! He was starting to wonder if Force wasn't in cooperation with these dastardly. But that was fine...because that meant he had more work to do as a hero. Because he would not tolerate such toxic filth in UCA anymore! He would do everything he can to stop pirates, gangsters, and monsters like Gordon Freeman! And he would take down Gordon Freeman once and for all, and avenge all the poor people he took down. The Hardcore Title was his to clean up extreme everywhere with, and Ben looked at the G-Man as he said this next part... "And no matter how much you try to scare me...The Hero Always Wins. That's what I do." Ben left the ring holding up his title, and G-Man just watched impassively, and Gordon laid in the ring...many dark thoughts in regards to Tennyson running through his head...and Luffy just rubbed his head, grumbling as he wondered what that was all about.
Backstage Segment: The Best of the Best Sends a Message to Juliet Starling
Samus Aran was shown backstage, Diamind in the Mine briefcase in hand as she had a smirk on her face.
"As you all already know, I got my title shot, so I'm pretty happy. However, I have an opponent before that by the name of Juliet Starling, from GAIA Wrestling. You know...the one I knocked off a ladder to become the Best of the Best and have this briefcase right here." Samus grinned as she held up the briefcase. "And ever since then, she's been on a slide. An epic fall from grace that is best symbolized by the fall from the ladder I put her through. It's amusing to a degree...but that just showed how much more I wanted it. After all, there was no way in hell I was going to be a stepping stone for her or anyone else. I was done being that. Best of the Best was me finally reclaiming my spot on top. And she was simply a victim on my ladder to success."
"However, she's not going to let it go. She's going to challenge me once more, all to reclaim what she has lost." Samus shook her head. "She's stubborn, I'll give her that. And I can understand reclaiming what you've lost, as I did just that. But here's the thing...you're going to try to get what you want from me, Juliet, but all you're going to get is more failure. Because I'm not going anywhere any time soon. And I refuse to let you just waltz in and take me down after I showed the world who I am again. So go ahead and try...but I'm going to be final nail in your coffin for your slide down. Because I'm that damn good...and you're the girl who everyone loved, but just couldn't make it happen. And I'll make sure everyone thanks me for revealing that."
Samus held up her briefcase and stared at the camera... "So Juliet Starling...at Post-Clash Bash, you're facing The Best of the Best one more time. You're as stubborn as they come...but I'm going to end you once and for all and show that you were all hype."
Backstage Segment: Champion and Challenger Meet Face-to-Face
The scene goes to another scene of backstage, and we see the Intercontinental Champion, Cloud Strife, walking around backstage, not having much to do on this day, but enjoying that he finally dealt with Jason Krueger for good when...
"Hehe...so you're my future opponent? The spiky-haired soldier himself."
Cloud stopped in his tracks, his face impassive as he turned around...to come face-to-face with Senji Kiyomasa, a grin on his face as he stepped forward.
"Good to see you still got some fight in you after all that time away. That means the match against you sure as hell isn't going to be boring." Senji proclaimed.
"What can I say? I sure wasn't going to come back not being able to do a damn thing." Cloud shrugged. "But seems you haven't changed a bit since I left."
"Why would I? I am who I am at this point. And I'm not ashamed of it." Senji admitted. "I'm a guy that loves a good ol' fight, and guess what? I'm ready for a fight...for THAT." Senji pointed at the IC Title on Cloud's shoulders. "And at War Zone, I claim it off you. Nothing personal."
"Is that so? Well I'm not interested in what you want." Cloud's eyes narrowed. "I didn't come back to get revenge on Jason and get him out of my life just so you could swoop in and take this from me. This title means that I'm finally back. That I wasn't just some victim of a revolution and a mad dog. That I still have something left to give. My reign got cut short thanks to Jason. But I finally got it back...and the last thing that's gonna happen is a Deadman ruining this for me."
"Heh, you think so...but man, I've got a lot of shit to do." Senji stated. "I know I'm THIS close to breaking through the glass ceiling. I'm the guy who made the world know my name when I fought Red. I'm the guy who was a Dual Hardcore Champion. And I'm the guy who everyone has as someone who could be a WORLD CHAMPION. Now wouldn't that be something? But for me to get there...I need to start somewhere. And that Intercontinental Title is where I start.
"But first, you got to get through HABIT in two weeks. You think you can do that?" Cloud questioned.
"Oh that guy? I'm going to kick his ass, plain and simple." Senji smirked. "Who doesn't want to kick HABIT's ass at this point? And if I beat him, I show the world I'm ready for the big spotlight. But the thing is...he thinks he's above consequences. That he can do whatever he wants, and end up on top in the end. Well, guess what? That pisses me the fuck off. He's always done that just by being an asshole. So I get to have an opportunity very few people do...kick his ass with no rules attached. And he can make all the snarky jokes he wants...not going to help him when I shove my foot down his throat. So don't worry about me. But what about you? Six-Pack Challenge? For your title against other companies? Not good odds, and a LOT of pressure."
"I can handle myself. It may be big odds, but that's what you sign up for in crossover shows like this. Someone's gonna put it all on the line, and I don't mind it being me." Cloud stated strongly. "Claude's my friend...Gamzee erratic, but dangerous... The Caretaker is as cold and dark as they come... Scott Pilgrim may know all my moves from just playing my games... And Wes may be able to throw me around...but I can take them all no matter what. This is my moment to prove myself as the Intercontinental Champion, and I refuse to let a UCA title fall to another company. It hasn't before, and it won't start before me. And when I retain, you're going to see it as what's going to happen to you at War Zone."
"Is that so? Cloud, don't underestimate me. You don't know what I'm capable of. And I'm hungry for some gold after being without it for so long." Senji stated.
"And I'm not in the mood to give it up. You want it? You're going to have to take it from me, and my place in this company." Cloud retorted.
The two stared at each other intensely, the tension high as they both wanted the gold to be theirs. Until Senji chuckled and patted the title belt.
"Oh yeah, you're totally going to be awesome to fight. Bring that fire at War Zone. I'm expecting it. But know this...I didn't come this far just to fall down on my face. And if I got to tear you apart to get to the mountaintop, I will show no mercy to you. And in the next few weeks, you're going to realize exactly what you're up against, and realize...you're fucked...Dead-Center."
Senji gave one last look at the IC Title before walking off on that note, leaving Cloud to look at him with narrowed eyes. And he knew damn well that this opponent before him, would be one of his toughest to date.
Singles Match: Agent Tex vs Kiva Andru
- Tex and Kiva were both given what they wanted in a Women's Title Match, but they had choice words for each other. And the best way to deal with that was in the ring as they looked to gain some momentum. And Tex came in hard and swinging with her power, using it to overwhelm Kiva at first. She constantly beat down on Kiva, and threw her around with a Biel Throw before Big Booting her so hard she flipped from it. Tex was simply punishing Kiva for a few minutes, but an opportunity came when Kiva managed to slip out of a Powerslam, and caught Tex with a Jumping Knee! In recent weeks, Kiva had taken to using her knees as weapon, leading to fans calling her the "Kneeing Machine," and she took to full display with that with constant knees driven into Tex, even going so far as nailing a Running Knee to send Tex out of the ring, and followed it with a Suicide Dive!
- However, Tex caught a diving Kiva in her arms and nailed a Falling Powerslam on the Future Girl! She was not going to let this upstart beat her as the two continued to go at it hard, Tex's power being countered by the stiff strikes and swiftness of Kiva! However, Tex managed to lift an incoming Kiva and plant her with a Powerslam! She then backed up into the corner, and knelt down as she awaited for Kiva to rise, and then ran for the Freelance RIGHT INTO A KNEE LIFT THAT RATTLED HER! Tex fell down and held her head in pain as Jimmy checked on her, and Kiva backed up into the ropes, panting as she tried to recover herself. She stood up fully AND GOT BLASTED BY LIGHTNING WITH HER TITLE BELT!
- Kiva was laid out as Lightning got down on the outside, crowd booing as she scoffed at the laid out, Kiva, muttering "Should have just gone to the back of the line..." as she looked to leave BUT GOT ATTACKED BY AN ANGRY TEX! Tex was angry at Lightning for interfering in her business, having caught sight of it as she was tended to by Jimmy, and she threw Lightning around, even throwing her into the steel post hard, before she tore apart the English Announce Table, and then lifted her up AND POWERBOMBED HER RIGHT THROUGH IT! The crowd cheered loudly as Tex glared down at the Champion, saying "Stay out of my matches if you don't want to lose your title early to me," before she slid back into the ring. Tex knelt down as she waited for Kiva to get up, wanting to take down the Future Girl on her own merits, and when she did she charged AND FREELANCE-CAUGHT WITH A SMALL PACKAGE! ONE...TWO...THREE! Kiva wins!
- Tex was stunned as Kiva rolled out of the ring, panting heavily but happy she was victorious. The Freelancer looked at Kiva as she got her hand raised by Jimmy as she walked up the ramp, and she had a grin on her face before she motioned for the belt, saying she was finally going to be Champion at War Zone before leaving. Tex shook her head, muttering "Not bad. You got me this time, Future Girl... This time..." before rolling out of the ring and leaving herself. Lightning was still outside, groaning in pain amid table debris as she tried to get up...
- ...BEFORE SHE GOT BLASTED FROM BEHIND BY THE DIAMOND IN THE MINE BRIEFCASE FROM SAMUS! The crowd was stunned as Samus picked up Lightning and threw her into the ring, getting in herself as Jimmy was stunned on the outside. She looked at her briefcase, contemplating what was before her: she wanted to be a double champ very much, and didn't want to defend right away in a Fatal 4-Way...but a surefire chance was before her to become a Champion, and you don't pass that up, and knew she stay one for a long time. Samus nodded making her decision and looked up TO GET FREELANCED BY A RETURNING TEX! Tex glared down at Samus, saying "Not when I'm around, you'll get your cash-in..." before leaving the ring, and leaving Samus laid out. Lightning rolled out of the ring, grabbing her title and holding it close, in pain as she realized this was possibly going to be the most stressful month of her reign yet...
Backstage Segment: Chief's Search Continues...
Chief was shown currently in the parking lot, looking for Star Force Mega Man as he looked through cars and behind them. But he had no such luck as the Mega Man was nowhere to be found.
"He's not here." Chief stated coolly.
"He's good at hiding, I'll give him that." Cortana said as she appeared. "Figures he would not show his face after last night. He's never wanted to come face to face with you since you came back."
"I know. Yet I'm going to find him. It's time I made him pay." Chief stated strongly
"But we need a real lead of some sort though, Chief." Cortana noted. "We know he's here, but as long as we have nothing, we'll just be going in circles.
Chief simply nodded in agreement as he looked around...until he noticed the production truck near the area. He then made his way towards it, and kicked down the door, much to the shock and gasps of all the workers inside as he looked at everyone.
"Wait, he actually came in?! Holy...!" One production worked exclaimed.
"Where is Geo?" Chief questioned.
"What? I don't-" Another began.
"Look, you know we're looking for Geo, and he's obviously hiding from us because he doesn't want to get his ass kicked." Cortana stated. "We were told to come to this area, but of course, no dice. But you guys keep track of everything here from this truck. So we would definitely like to know if you've seen Star Force ANYWHERE. Because we're done waiting on this. It's time to find him...and you're going to help us. One of you has to know where he is, considering what you got access to..."
Chief looked around the entire group of production workers in the truck, who were all frozen and somewhat afraid of the Spartan before them until...
"Um...I think I know where he is." One managed to speak up.
Chief walked over to the worker and stared at him, "Where?"
"Uh...we were keeping an eye on everything backstage for certain segments and all that...and I think I caught sight of a blue-armored man somewhere near the locker rooms, and he's been around there for awhile. If you go there now, you can probably catch him before he leaves. Just...please don''t do anything here. Please... We're just trying to do our job..."
Chief stared at the worker...before suddenly nodding, and began to walk off with the remark, "Let's go, Cortana," before walking out himself. Cortana remained in hologram for a brief bit.
"...At least it wasn't Bowser who showed up to destroy you all." She quipped before disappearing, leaving the workers to deal with what just happened.
"He's gonna murder, Geo isn't he?" One worked asked.
"Unless he gets away...yeah, probably." Another replied.
Backstage Segment: Sony Saints Forced to Deal With Another Loss...
We go backstage to see the Sony Saints, in very dire straits. They were all down after what happened last night, with Jak scowling to himself, Ratchet's ears dropped in sadness, and Sly contemplating to himself as he leaned against a wall. Crash was before them, looking at his fellow Sony stars in worry and sadness. Silence reigned for awhile until one spoke up.
"Well that sucked last night." Jak remarked in a deadpan tone. "And here I thought we weren't going to get our asses kicked..."
"Yeah, that...didn't go too well. And here I thought that was going to go better. We NEARLY had it..." Ratchet shook his head.
Crash hung his head, just sad and wanting to do anything to help his fellow Sony stars...before he suddenly began to gesture towards them. His gestures was exaggerated, and his grunts and noises were hard to make out, but he was clearly trying to prop them up. Trying to make it clear to them that they couldn't stay down, and that they could bounce back. He held up a picture of the Destructix, and pointed to them fiercely, and threw a fist to tell them that they could be taken down-
"Crash, we don't need any false hope thrown to us right now, so just stop." Jak stated harshly.
Crash winced as he looked down, but Ratchet stood up and looked at Jak, "Hey, don't do that to him! He's just trying to cheer us up, he doesn't want to see us down! Get off him."
"Yeah, and what's that going to get us? NOTHING. Because we lost...AGAIN." Jak scowled. "To the Destructix who punked us out SUCCESSFULLY. And we lost at two FWAs in a ROW in big match situations. And let's not even mention the losses we had before all this, individually and as a team! Need I go on? We haven't been able to do a thing...we let the Destructix run all over us, do whatever they want...and we're at complete rock bottom. So sorry if I'm not in the mood to deal with being fed crap."
"You know what? Yeah, it sucks! But that's no need to get on Crash!" Ratchet narrowed his eyes with a frown. "Hell, he's at least trying! You were the guy who got pinned last night. You're getting angry at the losses...maybe you should point the finger at yourself instead of attacking Crash."
"Oh like you did anything to help save me when I was down for the count! A partner is supposed to be helpful, but you just got your head kicked in!" Jak scowled.
"Yeah, like you were any better! Always the reckless one, trying to be a badass and all that!" Ratchet fired back.
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down..." Sly finally came in, putting his cane between them. "No point in fighting between us. We need to stay calm so we can think on what to do."
"Who died and made you leader anyway? For the past few months, hell, since this began, everyone's treated YOU as a leader! I thought we were supposed to be equals!" Jak growled.
"Hey, I'm just trying to do something to keep us together. Someone has to around here." Sly narrowed eyes.
"Yeah, sure, like you were the one who got the big matches at Last Stand and Final Clash, and we were left out to dry. Yeah, sure, you're doing something alright..." Ratchet mutered.
"Oh, you guys are one to talk...!" Sly retorted now fed up with this.
The three began to argue, the frustrations over their losses and their failures now boiling over and ready to explode. The arguing got louder and louder...and Crash watched it all, his expression getting worse and more pained. He began to shake as the arguing was starting to get extreme...until he suddenly shouted, jumped into the air, and proceeded to do a BELLY FLOP of all things in between all three of the Sony stars, forcing them to break it up as he was lying face-first on the floor, startling all of them.
"What the hell...?!" Jak exclaimed.
"Crash...?" Ratchet blinked twice.
Crash eventually pulled himself off the floor, having tiny Coco driving around him as he was woozy before shaking himself awake. He then looked at the three of them, and began to gesture for them to stop it! He tried to make it clear to them that this wasn't right, and they were all friends. This wasn't what the Sony Saints was about, this wasn't about wins or losses, not like this...and then he snapped his fingers! He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a picture and showed it to all of them. Confused, they all looked at the picture...
...and it was a picture of the three of them with the likes of Crash, Spyro, Drake, Cole, PaRappa, Daniel Fortesque, Sackboy, the Big Daddy, and even Kratos and other major Playstation stars in one big group pose, with the Playstation background behind them, and they all seemed happy...well most of them as the super serious ones weren't miserable at least.
"...SONY!" Crash exclaimed happily with a grin.
"Hey...I remember this picture." Sly chuckled. "This was for the release of Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. It was a way for us to come together and celebrate it. It was big because...it made us all feel like we were all a big part of the family. Like being Sony...being Playstation meant something greater than yourself. ...Even if we only let Crash and Spyro in it despite not being the game because we felt sorry for them."
As Crash pouted, Jak couldn't help but smirk to himself, "Yeah...it made us all closer than we were before. I barely knew most of these guys...but that game made me regret not knowing them sooner. It made me proud to be Playstation more than anything. Made me glad to know you guys..."
"Hey, guys...remember when we actually formed the Sony Saints?" Ratchet questioned. "We used to beat the crap out of each other for years. We didn't like each other at first..."
"Yeah, but we were at certain points in our careers, and all that fighting...made us respect each other. We were rivals...but we were equals." Sly nodded. "We were all attached to the hips as face of that era...and we knew that what we did as rivals...could pale when together as teammates. And honestly...it's been the best years of my career, for sure."
Jak crossed his arms, musing to himself...before sighing, "Look, guys... I'm still pissed, but..."
"I know. I'm sorry too." Ratchet admitted. "I guess...we all lost ourselves a bit."
"Losing a lot will do that to you. But guess that's why we got our resident Bandicoot here." Sly chuckled as he patted Crash on the back. T
"What the hell are we going to do though? Do we even stay together still? Because right now, I'm at a loss." Jak shook his head.
"I don't know...but we shouldn't quit. We're Sony...we're Playstation All-Stars...and we gotta keep going. No matter what." Sly affirmed.
"The question is though...what do we do?" Ratchet asked.
That's where the Sony stars, all four of them, had no answers. They managed to survive this argument...but they still had no sure answer on what to do. Or what their goal was. It was a tough time still for them...
...and the cameras change to another area backstage as we see THE DESTRUCTIX walk towards the gorilla position, led by their leader, Scourge the Hedgehog, and Fiona Fox having her arm hooked around him. They were all feeling good about themselves after last night, a swagger about them...until suddenly Scourge carelessly bumped into Crunch who was minding his own business, who turned towards Scourge.
"Hey watch it..." Crunch grumbled before he walked off, obviously having things on his mind, and not paying attention to who bumped into him.
Scourge gave a glance towards the leaving Bandicoot...before looking towards Simian, and nods to Crunch. Simian simply nodded in return...
...BEFORE SUDDENLY GRABBING CRUNCH AND CHOKEBOMBING HIM THROUGH A NEARBY TABLE! The Destrutix stood over the pained body of Crunch, with Flying's giggles in the air as they all sneered down at him.
"Heh, Sony... What else do you expect from them at this point?" Scourge snickered.
"Absolutely nothing, babe. Now let's going. Our screentime awaits." Fiona smirked.
The Destructix left on that note, very proud of their work...and this was not the last we would see of them as they head towards the gorilla position...
In-Ring Segment: The Destructix Enjoy The Spoils of Victory
Boos rained down on the Destructix as they all stood on the ring, standing tall after their victories and actions last night. But they were not fazed from the hatred that came their way, in fact, they relished in it. And the ringleader was at the forefront, mic in hand.
"What'd I tell you?" Scourge smirked as the boos grew louder. "What I'd freakin' tell you? Last night...was an affirmation of who's here to stay. Who's the new power around UCA. It's US. You all didn't want to believe it, you all wanted to deny it, you all wanted your little feelings drive us to the ground. I'm pretty sure some Scotsman or some Italian are screaming into the night about us. But guess what? It doesn't matter what you want. It's what we want...and what we wanted was to take this company and show you all that we're here to take over. You see Simian, Flying, and Predator here. What they did was take out the trash in those Sony Saints. A bunch of irrelevant veterans way past their expiration date, took them behind the woodshed and put them out of their misery. And I couldn't be any prouder..."
Simian simply nodded in silence, Predator simply gave a slight grin and Flying giggled, simply happy at the fun they had.
"...and Lightning, you weren't able to really get in on all of this fun. Sorry about that...but we're going to make that up to you since you took out Black not too long ago, are THE future Cruiserweight Champion. Don't worry, buddy, we got your title coming for you..."
Lightning simply shrugged and smirked, stating off-mic "as long as victory is in our grasp, I am fine with this. My time will come soon anyway."
"...and of course we've got our lovely queen here, Fiona. Who last night decided to teach a certain Gravity Shifter a less in what happens when you decide to mess with the likes of her. Isn't that right, babe?"
Fiona took the mic, condescending smirk and all as she spoke, "Yes, that's right. I took Kat's little opportunity at greatness and threw it into the shredder. I cost her everything. Why? Because she cost me MY chance at greatness. She knocked me out of the tournament on a fluke of a roll-up. If it weren't for her, I'd be the Universal Queen right now, she stole my opportunity from me. But you know what? If she stole my chance at glory...then I was going to take it from her. What goes around, comes around after all. In fact...I did her and all of you a favor. I made sure she didn't get too close to the sun, so she crashed back down to the earth when she let you all down. I did the right thing! Why? Because let's face it...she's your typical SONY FAILURE. That's right, I said it! A Sony failure like the rest of them! Gets you real excited...but then lets you down at last second and proves that they aren't all that. She's certainly not the first...she's just the latest. And I made sure to make that known throughout the company. You're welcome!"
Scourge smirked as he was handed back the mic, and chuckled, "Yeah, right...the Sony Saints...Crash...hell, all the Sony and Playstation guys...they are all FAILURES. Every last one of them!" The crowd gave out boos in defiance of this proclamation. "Oh don't believe me? Are you going to throw out numbers of the sales that their games had? How big Playstation and Sony is? Oh that's nice. How many of those guys are relevant right now in the business because of that? Tell me? Anyone? Hello? ...Yeeaaahhh, that's what I THOUGHT. The Sony Saints... Crash... They are the faces of irrelevancy. The Sony Saints haven't done anything in forever! They are just LOSERS! And Crash had a little bit of success in NCW and guess what? NCW isn't even a thing anymore, and Crash is back in irrelevance land! They all are! Do I even need to list the Sony stars outside of UCA? Who the hell do we got that even matters right now? THEY'RE ALL LOSERS!"
Scourge sneered at the crowd, continuing with, "But you all cheer Sony on. You want to push them forward, and try to make them relevant so bad. They had awesome games, they had awesome careers, they're my childhood memories, blah blah blah...know what I say? I say that the Sony stars in this business represent what Sony is...a FOSSIL. That's what dealing with the Saints have shown me...Sony's just a hack getting by on third-party work, and can't even do it's own stuff! Hell, the 'stars' literally need to rehash their past in order to get over! It makes me sick...because WE are the 'it' thing. We're the REAL winners! We're the group that actually does things, that is actually relevant, that will actually rule this business for years to come! And we made a statement by finally taking those stupid Sony Saints out to the woodshed! So consider that the end of anything they and Crash and whoever is related to them is!"
The boos were thunderous, the love for Sony and Playstation provoking this response, but Scourge didn't care, "Oh, you want to hate me for speaking the truth? Well too bad, cause I'm the King! I'm Mr. Money in the Bank, and I say what I wan-"
Predator stopped Scourge, much to his surprise, but then something was whispered into his ear as he motioned to ringside. Scourge raised an eyebrow before looking towards that direction...and then he smirked evilly.
"Well...looks like we actually got a special guest at ringside here tonight. In a way, it's not a surprise since we are here in California...but looky here..." Scourge grinned...
...and at ringside was a fair skinned girl of average height, with a purple sleeveless shirt and those arm sleeve things that are not attached, her right sleeve with shape buttons, her left sleeves the direction pad, her irises the colors of the four shapes in the PS icon, and wearing a purple beret, and has an artist's look to her. This strange girl narrowed her eyes at Scourge, but he just continued to smirk...
"...We got ourselves a Gijinka. A physical embodiment of a company. And not just any company...we got ourselves the SONY GIJINKA. Sunny Station, is it?" Scourge then slid out of the ring and stood before Sunny at ringside, the Gijinka wary. "It's...well, not an honor to meet you, but glad you're here for the truth."
"...I got a bad feeling about this..." Church muttered.
"Shush, the great King is speaking truth! Be quiet!" Sarge proclaimed.
"You've obviously been hearing everything I've been saying..." Scourge stated. "About you... About your relevance... About your pitiful 'stars'... And I know you want to disagree, but let's face it. I'm right. We both know I am. And it just eats you up inside, doesn't it? And you, the personification of Sony, can't do anything about it. In this business, we're passing you all by."
"You're wrong. About all of them." Sunny stated off-mic, glaring at Scourge. "They're more than what you think they are. What we are."
"Oh really?" Scourge sneered. "I could've sworn that nobody really cares about any of your so called guys and gals these days. And it's really nothing but your own damn faults for not living up to your own hypes, and being slaves to the past. Nintendo is more innovative than you lot. But what can we expect? After all you got bought out, right? I mean, I can imagine a lot of people buy you so easily on the st-"
SUNNY SLAPPED SCOURGE ACROSS THE FACE AS IT WAS HEARD ACROSS THE ARENA!
"OOOOOHHHH! Scourge asked for that one, the jerk! What a slap! There are lines you don't cross, and he just did!" Church exclaimed.
"Hey, you can't do that!"
Sunny glared at Scourge whose head was pulled back from the slap before he slowly pulled his shades off his eyes, and took a deep, long look at the Gijinka, who stood her ground for herself and her proud family AND SUDDENLY SHE GOT GRABBED BY SIMIAN AND YANKED OUT OF THE CROWD!
"OH WHAT THE HELL?! SCOURGE, YOU DICK! LET HER GO, DESTRUCTIX, NOW!" Church shouted. "YOU ASSHOLES!"
*Skip*
Sunny was being held down in the ring by Simian as the Destructix surrounded her, none too pleased with how she responded just a few moments ago.
"So that's how you want to play it, huh? Alright, fine. We can play that way. So how about for retaliation, we end Sony...PERMANENTLY." Scourge proclaimed darkly.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THE DESTRUCTIX ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF DAMN BULLIES! THIS IS A DISGRACE! A FUCKIN' DISGRACE! DO THESE JACKASSES HAVE NO STANDARDS! SOMEONE GET SOME DAMN HELP OUT HERE!" Church shouted.
"SUNNY BROUGHT IT ON HERSELF! NEVER SLAP THE KING! YOU ONLY GET PAIN! THIS IS THE RESULT YOU GET, COURTESY OF THE REDS!" Sarge exclaimed.
"OH COME ON, YOU CAN'T BUY THAT BULLSHIT! HE ASKED FOR IT, AND IT DOESN'T DESERVE THIS! SOMEONE, GODDAMMIT, DO SOMETHING!" Church shouted.
The group of Mobians slowly encroached on the struggling Sunny who was trying to escape with all her might, but she couldn't escape Simian's grip as they all had evil intentions...
...UNTIL SUDDENLY THE SONY SAINTS AND CRASH CAME STORMING DOWN THE RAMP WITH FIRE! They slid into the ring as the Destructix let go of Sunny AND THE FIGHT WAS ON! SONY ON DESTRUCTIX AS THEY HAD HAD ENOUGH!
"SLY! JAK! RATCHET! CRASH! THE STARS OF SONY ARE HERE TO SAVE SONY ITSELF! AND LOOK AT THEM! COMPARED TO EARLIER, THEY LOOK PISSED OFF! THEY LOOK LIKE THEY WANT TO DESTROY! AND I DON'T BLAME THEM! DESTRUCTIX CROSSED THE DAMN LINE!" Church shouted.
"HEY GET OUT OF HERE! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE! YOU'RE ALL WASHED UP!
*Skip*
The Sony stars were fighting with everyone and Ratchet managed to throw Predator out of the ring was pounding away at Flying, Crash was trading blows with Lightning, Jak had tackled Simian to teh ground, and Scourge was being overwhelmed by Sly who had mounted him with fist! The Destructix were caught off guard by the fire of them all, not expecting it, and then Sly proceeded to throw Scourge into the corner. He then grabbed his cane and shook his head angrily before raising it AND GOT BLASTED IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A CHAIR BY FIONA OUTTA NOWHERE! Scourge then took the opportunity to get up and plant Sly with the Raging Scourge!
And from there, things went from bad to worse as Predator got back in and low-blowed Ratchet from behind, and they proceeded to nail a Total Elimination on the Lombax! Jak had tried to get Simian up for a Jakhammer, but the gorilla pushed Jak away and he got a Double Dropkick to the back of the head by Flying and Predator that sent him into a brutal Lariat by Simian! Lightning then ducked a right and got Crash with an Enziguri that dazed him AND GOT SPEARED BY SCOURGE!
"SON OF A BITCH! The damn NUMBERS GAME! It caught up to them, anger or not, and now they're getting their asses kicked! FUCK, this is some bullshit, you know?! Someone has to deal with these assholes!" Church stated.
"No one is! Why?! Because the Destructix rule these parts now! And Sony in wrestling is DEAD! LIVE WITH IT! LONG LIVE THE KING! LONG LIVE THE DESTRUCTIX! LONG LIVE THE REDS!" Sarge chanted.
*Skip*
The four Sony stars were being beaten down by the Mobians to massive boos, and Scourge now had a scowl on his face as he motioned for the chair, shouting for them to hold Sly up, which Simian did as they others were getting beaten down. He then grabbed the mic and looked at Sunny, who was looking on in horror from ringside.
"See this?! Your precious stars, your precious 'family' is getting dismantled before your eyes! Because they're weak, compared to the likes of us! They no longer matter, you no longer matter, not in the business. And certainly not before us! But you want to try and fight us!? Try to prove you're greater than you are, like your stupid crossover game tried to do! But like always, like these damn Sony Saints... Like Crash...you FAILED. And now...you get to watch as we begin the DEATH of Sony in wrestling for GOOD."
Scourge then threw the mic away and raised the chair to take out Sly once and for all BUT GOT BLASTED WITH A LARIAT OUT OF NOWHERE...
...BY CRUNCH BANDICOOT! Crunch saved the day as the crowd gave a massive pop, and before Simian could register this, he got BOOTED in the face to force him to let go of Sony! He then throw fists, metal or flesh, at any Mobian standing as they were all stunned by his appearance! Fiona, thinking fast, grabbed the chair to try and clock an unsuspecting Crunch BUT GOT A SPRINGBOARD HURRICANRANA OUT OF NOWHERE BY KAT!
"CRUNCH?! KAT?! THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE FUCKING HERE TO SAVE THE DAY! REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED, AND BOY, HAS A RALLY NEVER BEEN SWEETER THAN IT IS NOW!" Church shouted.
"WHAT ARE THEY DOING?! THIS DOESN'T CONCERN THEM! GET OUT OF HERE, YOU DAMN BLUES!" Sarge shouted angrily.
"KAT GOT SCREWED BY FIONA BECAUSE SHE WAS A SORE LOSER! CRUNCH GOT ASSAULTED BY THEM JUST BECAUSE! AND GUESS WHAT?! THEY'RE ALSO SONY! THEY HAVE EVERY DAMN RIGHT TO KICK THESE ASSHOLE'S ASSES! GET THEM!" Church exclaimed.
*Skip*
The tides had turned with the appearances of Crunch and Kat, the numbers now even as the Destructix were being beaten back! Simian was getting beaten back towards the ropes by Crunch and then Clotheslined over them to the outside! Jak threw Flying into Predator head-first, dazing them both and they got Dropkicked by Ratchet to the outside! Crash then ducked a fist from Lightning and gave him a Wumpa Twist, causing him to roll outside with the others! Fiona, stunned by everything, couldn't do anything as she got Hurricanrana'd outside with the rest of them! Scourge, seeing everything go down, tried to escape but got HOOKED by Sly with his cane around the neck! Scourge's eyes widened as Sly gave a "tsk" gesture with his finger before pulling him in towards Crunch who lifted him up into a Military Press...
...AND THREW HIM OVER THE ROPES AND ONTO THE REST OF THE DESTRUCTIX AS THEY STOOD UP! The crowd was going nuts as Sly looked at them...then gave a smirk to Kat, Crash, and Ratchet. They all nodded at each other before they all the ran the ropes together as the Destructix stood back up once more...
...
...OVER-THE-TOP ROPE MOONSAULT BY KAT! NO-HANDS SUICIDE DIVE OVER THE ROPES BY CRASH! SOMERSAULT SENTON BY RATCHET! ALL AT THE SAME TIME AS THEY TAKE DOWN THE DESTRUCTIX TOGETHER!
"THE DESTRUCTIX HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO SCHOOL! I REPEAT, DESTRUCTIX GOT FUCKING KARMA HANDED TO THEIR ASSES! AND IT'S SWEET AS HELL! THEY HAVE BEEN BEATEN BACK, AND THIS CALIFORNIA CROWD IS LOVING IT!" Church shouted.
"THIS IS A TRAVESTY! SOMEONE ARREST THESE BLUES! I THINK THEY'RE INFECTIOUS, THEY'RE GOING TO INFECT EVERYBODY! STOP THEM, QUICK!" Sarge exclaimed.
The three quickly slid back into the ring off that as the crowd cheered them on, and Crash was giving out a massive "WHOA!"...before coming face to face with Crunch Bandicoot. The two of them stared at each other as the crowd silenced a bit. They knew the history between them, and how Crash and Crunch's relationship had fallen apart, how they became enemies...
...but then Crunch sighed, before grinning and saying "Come here, you small fry," and Crash's eyes widened...before grinning and jumping up and HUGGING CRUNCH TO MASSIVE CHEERS AT THE RECONCILIATION! Sunny herself slid into the ring and hugged Jak and Ratchet, glad everything turned out alright as they hugged her back to chuckles. Sly just grabbed the mic off the mat and stared at the Destructix, who were backing up the ramp now, floored by what just happened.
"You couldn't help yourselves, could you?" Sly started with an edge in his tone. "You all just had to lord yourselves over us, didn't you? Try to rub it in our faces. And you couldn't just leave it with US. No, you had to try and include SONY. Our family, the thing we're proud to be part of. Attack our place in the business, our pride in it...even attacking, for all intents and purposes, SONY ITSELF. Because you think yourselves so superior to us, that we're nothing before the almighty Destructix. That you can do whatever the hell you want and we can't do anything about it. Well guess what? You had us down for the count...but then you reminded us who we are. Who we're supposed to be. That we're heroes, heck...we're PLAYSTATION-ALL STARS. And All-Stars don't quit just because we're on hard times. We keep pushing until we change those hard times! And we always fight to the bitter end! So thank you all for reminding us of that. Your gift...us kicking your ass several times over this! YOU made this personal! YOU made too many damn enemies! YOU picked a fight with Sony! And now you're going to regret it! Especially you, Fiona...since our Gravity Queen feels a little angry over last night..."
Kat took the mic, and indeed, she looked more ticked than ever as she spoke, "Fiona, what you did last night...you not only cost me what I had worked so hard for, but also caused so much damage to the Women's Division by giving Sally that much power. And because why? Because you lost to me and decided to be petty? That's ridiculous! You're just a bully, Fiona! A big, fat one that hates that everyone sees me as someone that could be great, and not you! And what you just tried to pull, I'll never forgive you! You want a fight so badly...I'll give you one! You and me...at War Zone! I want to face the bully that you are, and put you in your place! And guess what? I'll do it AS THE GAIA OPENWEIGHT CHAMPION! I'm going to beat Azula, end her reign of terror, and then I'm going to beat you, and you're going to hate every second of me being what you can't be when I'm beating you for good!"
Fiona was fuming as she barked at Kat, and Sly took the mic back, "And she's not alone. You started this last month, Destructix. You just saw this whole thing as a way to get yourselves over. But now? You got a WAR on your hands! So here's our proposition...you all...against me, Jak, Ratchet, Crash, Crunch...Destructix versus THE PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS AT WAR ZONE! And I know you're going to accept to try and get revenge. But in four weeks time...you're going to realize you finally bit off more than you can chew. Because we have PURPOSE now. This is bigger than just our careers...this is about SONY and our PRIDE in it. And we're not going to let you trample all over it! So get ready for WAR."
Sly stared them down...but got a tug on the sleeve by Sunny, who had an angry experience on her face herself. With a grin, he handed the mic to her, and she stared at the Mobians...before giving one last line for them...
"Get ready for a Playstation Experience like none ever experienced. One you'll regret ever playing. At War Zone, it's GAME OVER for you all!"
("One-X" by Three Days Grace)
Sunny threw the mic down as the music played and then she got lifted up onto the shoulders of Crunch, who held her high as he began to pose and flex with his muscles to taunt the Destructix, Crash following suit next to him with his iconic victory dance. Jak and Ratchet gave a fist bump to each other, while Kat stood on the ropes and motioned for them to bring it on, and Sly pointed his cane at them as a sign of things to come...
...all while the Destructix stood on the ramp steaming MAD, wanting to tear them apart at this moment. They were only held back by Scourge, who was equally angry. He sneered in disgust and rage at the Playstation All-Stars, muttering "Alright...that's how you want to die? Fine by us..."
"PLAYSTATION HAS UNITED! The actions of Destructix have UNINTENDED consequences, and have brought these Playstation icons together! At War Zone, it's going to be a firefight as these twelve throw down in two matches that will have so much behind them!" Church exclaimed.
"What are we seeing?! This is not something that should be happening! The Playstation All-Stars shouldn't even be that good! Mark my words, they'll regret ever deciding they were bigger than what they actually are! That's what all Blues eventually do!" Sarge proclaimed.
"In four weeks, Sony and the Destructix are GOING TO WAR! And it's going to be a war no one's ever going to forget!" Church called.
Backstage Segment: The World Champion Speaks Out
The cameras go backstage for us to find the World Heavyweight Champion, Matt Ishida, standing in front of a backdrop, the World Title over his shoulder as he had a contemplative.
"You know...being World Champion means a lot to me. It really does. It signifies me coming back into the wrestling world with a vengeance, reviving myself and becoming someone big. I was at the bottom...and I rose all the way to the top. My world title completed the Digi-Resurrection...and I couldn't be more happy. But see, I don't want to be satisfied with just that. I don't want that story to be all I am, that I can be more than just my Resurrection. What I want to be...is the man here in UCA. I want to be THE guy everyone looks at, and recognizes as the face of this company. I haven't reached that height yet...but I want to get there. Which is why this next month means so damn much to me, because of who I got to face..."
"First...my old friend...Tai." Matt noted. "Now...I know you got a lot of terrible things going on. I understand. I'm there for you, buddy. I am. And you'll get through it. But right now...we're going head to head one more time. And this time...it's for the biggest prize imaginable. A World Heavyweight Championship. We've never done that before. In fact, we've only faced off twice before throughout our careers. You got one over me. I got one over you. We're tied apiece, and at Post-Clash Bash, we have our tiebreaker. Now we''ve butted our heads more times than I can count. What can I say, I guess we just had that type of relationship. But we always patched it up at the end...but Tai...I have to do this: I have to prove I'm the better man."
Matt took a deep breath, continuing with, "Tai, when we debuted, I don't think there was any doubt you were going to be great. You were the main guy of the Destined, the leader among us. Usually, those guys are the ones to make it to the top. You had main event success instantly. But me? I had to FIGHT for that right. I had to scratch and claw for years to PROVE that I could be a guy that could be at the top, to prove I can be the guy that can carry the company. Even after all this time...it's the same thing. You're the face of XCW, the guy everyone unequestionably loves and belives in...while even after everything I've been through, I'm still questioned as to if I can't be that guy, that man. People still wonder that about me... Well...that''s where it changes. Because at Post-Clash Bash, we settle it once and for all between you and me. I know you have your reasons to beat me...but mine are clear. To truly prove that I am the man in UCA, that I am a worthy World Champion. And it comes down to Post-Clash Bash. I want you to bring your best Tai. So there's no doubt whose finally better.
"And next...my opponent for War Zone...who is going to be one of four people: Ruby, Wolfgang, Toad, and Takuya." Matt mused. "Well first off...let's start with Wolfgang. An old enemy. How many times have we faced off back in the days of the Attitude Era? Who knows, I probably lost count. And now you're here in UCA, trying to get back to the top of the mountain at my expense. Well...if you want to relive the Attitude Era, then I'm all for it. Just know that it's going be the times where I kicked your ass over and over. You're not coming to UCA to take over at my expense. Not a chance."
"Ruby...I can't say we know each other all that well. But I can assure we're not going to start the next Poke-Digi War." Matt chuckled. "But I understand your own drive. You were the big man in your own company awhile back...and with that gone, you want to prove that you still have it. That you can still be that guy. I understand, and I respect that. But I can't let you take my spot in the process. I fought like hell to get here, and I have so much more to prove. So if you want to take a shot at me...go ahead. But if you win, I'm showing why I'm here in the first place."
"Toad...good for you. Good for you for finally dropping that jackass known as Mario." Matt nodded. "I'm glad you finally wised up to what he really was. It took long enough. And you actually beat him, and look to take a massive step towards my title. Not bad. ...But I haven't forgiven you at all. Not for what you did to me and Platinum in the weeks leading up to Final Clash. You did one good thing, Toad...but that doesn't take away what you've done. So if you win...know that it's not just going to be a title match. It's me getting some retribution for your part in it all."
"And Takuya...what else is there to say about you?" Matt shook his head angrily. "You and I have a long history...one where you and others practically tried to ruin the Destined, and unlike Davis...you don't seem regretful in the slightest. So all I have to say you...if you want a crack at my World Championship, fine by me. It just means I get more chances to punch your face in and MAKE you regret what you pulled all that time ago. And trust me...I will enjoy every second of it."
Matt leaned back, and pulled the World Title off his shoulder, "So Tai...whoever wins the Fatal 4 Way tonight...get ready. Because this month, I'm playing a new song...a song that shows that Matt Ishida is the man of UCA."
Triple Threat Match: Usopp vs. Robin vs. Riku
- The Triple Threat match of the Cruiserweight Division was here, and Riku wanted to use this as the opportunity to put himself as the next contender to the Cruiserweight Title. He wanted to stop being in the background, and start being in the title picture, to validate himself. But his opponents weren't going to allow that so easily. Robin, an old rival of Riku, wanted to get another shot at the Cruiserweight Title, and continue his rise from the cellars he was once at, and Usopp, a big name of Cruiserweight Divisions of old in CWA and NJPW, wanted to reestablish himself once more in
- The match was fast-paced and crazy from the start, with Robin and Usopp took the match at the beginning with their fast-paced style. Usopp himself was more crafty and experienced, and he used that with being lifted overhead by Riku, but catching Robin behind him with a Hurricanrana to send him into Riku and both to the outside, and followed it up with a Suicide Dive. Robin's style was more stiff and frenzied, nailing fast-paced Corner Dropkicks on Usopp and Riku back and forth, before grabbing Riku and nailing a Bulldog/Clothesline combo on him and a stumbling Usopp. However, Riku, in comparison, was not as flashy or as high-flying...he was more methodical and hard-hitting than the both of them. And that became apparent when Usopp and Robin were both on top, and then Riku ran and nailed a running boot to Robin to send him off the top and to the outside with a splat, and then grabbed Usopp, and nailed a Top-Rope Hung DDT on him!
- The three gave it their all, wanting to move themselves up the ladder. But at the end of the day, Usopp was looking for a Sniper Shot on Riku and leaped onto the ropes but got a Running Enziguri to the head by Robin when he did...which forced to drop crotch first on the ropes! His eyes widened comically in pain but got elbowed off the ropes and to the outside. However, he got a Dropkick to the back of the skull which dazed him and he grabbed him and tried to lift him up for the Hero's Fall...but Riku dropped down and nailed a BRUTAL Knee Lift to the face which absolutely put Robin on dreamland, but then got put into a Fireman's Carry...and spun him off for the NEW VERSION of the Way to Dawn (Hiromu Takahashi's Timebomb)! He then pinned him for the three count and victory in this match!
- Riku celebrated his victory, getting his hand raised as Sora and slapped hands with him to congratulate him on a good job, and Riku nodded and motioned for the title...until "All I Want" by A Day To Remember played, and out came Tidus title in hand. This caused everyone to raise an eyebrow as Tidus came out and said Riku really wanted validation that badly? Well he didn't need to go for a cheap shot last week like he did. All he had to do was make a challenge...but he knew that wasn't Riku's game apparently. But that was fine because if he wanted a shot...then he got it. Because he didn't back down from a fight. And Riku grinned...but Tidus stated point-blank that he was not going to take the attack last week lightly, and that if he could beat Sora...then he for sure could beat his best friend. That wiped the smile off of Riku's face, and he scowled, and Tidus nodded saying "You want a shot? You got it...but I'm on a mission. And you aren't halting it." Riku just glared at Tidus who held up his title, while Sora stood by his friend...while hoping he would be fine.
Backstage Segment: Master Chief "Finds" Star Force
Chief was now in the locker room area of backstage, and he was searching every locker room he could for Geo. He got some reprimands from people, but he didn't care. He was on a mission, and he was going to find him no matter what.
"He's here somewhere. I know it." Chief proclaimed.
"I'm sure he is, but it's obvious he's going to hide as much as he can. Just be careful, Chief. Nothing more than dangerous than a cornered animal, after all." Cortana advised him.
"I'm well aware. I'll be fine." Chief assured her as he continued to look for Geo.
However, his search soon ended as he saw a blue-armored person suddenly run across the hallway and past them. Chief and Cortana looked at each other and nodded, as Chief turned the corner. He followed the blue-armored person until he came to a dead end in the hallway, and Chief advanced on the person, recognizing the tuft of hair out of the helmet before grabbing his shoulder and turning him around to reveal Johnny Cage dressed up perfectly as Star Force Mega Man, much to their shock.
"Hey, what up, sucker?" Cage asked cheekily BEFORE DROPPING TO A SPLITS AND NAILING A NUT PUNCH!
Chief held his nads in pain, even HE not able to deal with the pain as Cortana cried out in shock BEFORE GETTING BLASTED FROM BEHIND WITH A CHAIR BY THE REAL STAR FORCE! Star Force glared down at Chief before looking at Cage, and nodded with a "Thanks, man..." all while Cage grinned and replied with "Hey, no problem! Always wanted to play you, and it was the performance of a lifetime! RR for life, you know? Have fun, man." Cage then patted Star Force on the back, and left with a grin, as Cortana was stunned by everything...
"You can't be serious... You PLANNED this from the very start...!" Cortana realized...
...as Star Force began to slam the chair repeatedly into Chief, each one harder than the last as anger seeped into every shot!
"You just wouldn't give it up! Wouldn't leave well enough alone!" Geo cried out as he continued to slam the chair onto Chief over and over again all over his body. "You could've just walked away, knowing when you were beat! But no, you had to be the badass! You had to be the Master Chief, you had to continuously get in my way! You had to FREAKIN' COME BACK! Well, guess what?! You got what you wanted...and I'm going to make you pay for every second of it."
He then picked up Chief and gave him a GIGA CRUSH ONTO THE CONCRETE! Chief was laid out as Geo now stood over the fallen Spartan after his ambush.
"At first I wanted to just kill your legacy...now, I'm going to kill your entire career."
Geo then glanced at Cortana, who couldn't do anything as a hologram, but just glared at Geo saying, "You may win this battle...but you know the Chief. He always win the war."
"That so? Well...then I'll just make sure to always have the leverage in that case." Geo sneered as he suddenly knelt down, and reached to behind the back of Chief's helmet and reached into it...
"Hey, what are you doing?! NO D-" Cortana cried out...
...but didn't finish as Star Force pulled out the chip that held Cortana from Chief's helmet! Cortana's hologram disappeared as Geo now held what was pretty much Cortana's body in his hand. He clenched it tightly before looking down at Chief and saying...
"For the price of not knowing when you're through...I'm going to make this month a living hell for you before I end you for good. So says the Gaming Killer. See you next week." Geo stated BEFORE KICKING CHIEF ACROSS THE HEAD! He then walked away, the chip in hand as Chief was left down and out...but once he realized what happened...
...there would be hell to pay for sure.
Tag Team Match: The Elrics vs. ?
- The Elrics wanted to be great Champions. They had fought for so long to become Champions, and now with that achieved, and Team 2D defeated, they knew what they had to do. With the division rebuilding, and a title defense at PCB against The Ed Protection Agency, they needed to prove they could be the faces of the division moving forward. That's why they volunteered to face whoever was debuting tonight, so as to show they could handle anyone, and prepare for Post-Clash Bash. They waited in the ring for who it would be...then "Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath to a MASSIVE POP! The crowd went crazy as BILL & TED came out, looking out to the crowd and then at each other, grinning and shouting "EXCELLENT!" before playing the air guitar. The three-time WCW Tag Team Champions were here in UCA, and they were ready to rock out and make a splash by beating the current Tag Team Champions.
- Ed & Al were taken back, but ready for this challenge...or so they thought, but Bill & Ted's erratic and free-flowing style really was a problem for the more rooted in science brothers, as Bill & Ted showed off teamwork through chaos and improv, and it really bothered The Elrics. Bill & Ted even threw them outside, and then Ted dropped down and Bill ran the ropes and stepped off Ted over the ropes and landed right across the brothers outside! They were excellent, and they just were getting started. However, Ed & Al managed to adapt soon enough to their opponent, even going so far as to catch the diving off the apron Ted in their arms and giving him a Double Side Effect on the ground! Bill tried to come in for help, but got a Double Dropkick for his troubles as well!
- In the end, the Excellent Ones had The Elrics on the ropes and Al was on the mat, and Bill & Ted were on top of opposite corners, and they did the "Air Guitar" as they shouted "EXCELLENT" before diving off-BUT ED CRASHES THE EXCELLENT ADVENTURE (Hardy Boyz Event Omega)! He CLOTHESLINES Bill off the top, sending him to the outside, and Ted was stunned but he still dived off the top only for Al to roll out of the Splash! Ted stumbled up to his feet RIGHT INTO A DIVING AUTOMAIL CLOTHESLINE! From there, Ed & Al set up Ted...and proceeded to nail the FMA from there! And that was enough to give them victory over the WCW tag team legends!
- The Elrics were victorious over their game competition. They had done well in their debut...but the Elrics proved why they were Champions in the first place. After the match, Ed gave props to their opponents, telling them they were something else, and they were going to be good in the division. But they were Champs for a reason. And that's why they were going to Post-Clash Bash to win. They knew the Ed Protection Agency very well...they fought them at WrestleMania in TLC, they knew what Ed & Rolf were capable of. And they knew that they were in for a tough battle. But they had to do this. They had to do this in order to take the Tag Team Division of UCA to the next level. They may also be in Animated...but they knew UCA was where they were truly belonged as the best. And they were going to prove that to Ed & Rolf, and to the rest of the wrestling world. The Elrics were going to make sure the Tag Team Division of UCA would rise to the top, one way or the other.
Backstage Segment: Gordon Comes Across an Old Rival...
Gordon Freeman sat backstage on a crate, still angered by what happened earlier. He was thinking about ways to hurt Tennyson for what he pulled, when he felt someone come up to him. Narrowing eyes, he looked up...to meet with WOLFGANG, the Bully before him as he sneered at him. Gordon stared at his old rival before standing up, the two coming face to face for the first time since Final Clash...
"You know...I never got over Final Clash, four eyes." Wolfgang admitted. "I did not. Because who could a creepy nerd like you take down an accomplish veteran like me? It didn't make sense. What was I? Chopped liver to make you great? It ticked me off that I never got the chance to get vengeance for everything you did on me, to make you learn your place. It slipped by me...but now...I got the chance to finally get payback. Because at Post-Clash Bash...I get to bring in reinforcements."
Gordon's eyebrows furrowed, and teeth clenched, as he knew exactly what he was talking about... The Bullies...
"That's right. My stable which I got past security one night to put your butt in check." Wolfgang chuckled. "That showed me that with my crew, I can take you down no problem. And that's exactly what's going to happen. I asked for this match, you know? Because I wanted to finally right the wrongs of Final Clash. It's me and my Bullies...and this ragtag group you put together in response to the match being made, a Survivor Series Match. And I looked over who you choose...and you expect me to be afraid? A guy in a bathrobe who couldn't figure out how to accomplish his own goal? Some weird kid that nobody knows about from a promotion no one cares for? The Digimon nerd that everyone forgets about and is totally irrelevant to the real ones? And a stoner who we can take care of any time we want? Hah, this "Resistance" of yours is going to fall big time. And I'm going to enjoy every second of i-"
He was cut off by the crowbar suddenly lifted up and held towards him, forcing him on guard. Gordon held it towards him, a clear sign that he was not going to back down...before he pointed it towards a poster of PCB, and then gave a cutthroat gesture with the crowbar at Wolfgang...intentions made clear what he and his team would do.
"...Yeah, you keep telling yourself that." Wolfgang glared. "You try and tell that ragtag group of yours they can do something. While my TEAM is going to run circles around you, and give all you weenies wedgies. Post-Clash Bash...we're going to make every second miserable for you guys. Because that's what a Bully does. Now if you excuse me, I gotta go and be something you aren't: a main eventer. I'll see you when I'm the No. 1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Title, heh."
Wolfgang then forcefully pushed past Gordon with his shoulder, walking off on that note towards the gorilla position for his match. Gordon stayed stock still, watching the Bully leave with a neutral expression, but in his eyes...were the eyes of a survivor ready to go to war once more. And he knew he had to make sure his team was up to snuff...
No. 1 Contender's Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match: Ruby vs. Takuya vs. Wolfgang vs. Toad
- The main event was here. All four men in this huge match had something going for them. Takuya had a victoy over Matt, and wanted to capitalize on that to propel himself back up top. Ruby wanted to finally cement his place in UCA as a main eventer after he was one in IWF long ago. Wolfgang wanted to regain the title he once held long ago and finally get back on top. And Toad wanted to use the chance to take his victory over Mario and and use it as momentum to finally tap into his potential. All four had something to prove as they worked to get the ultimate shot.
- And the match was crazy from start to finish as everyone was doing everything they possibly could to be the last one standing. Takuya was by the far the most intense, attacking everyone and everything with a fire that was liable to burn everyone in it's path, even going so far as to nail a brutal Flare Blitz to Ruby as he was on the apron
- The first elimination came when Wolfgang was trying to Bully Bomb Ruby, but the Hoenn Coordinator was trying to fight through it, nailing fist after first to the head of Wolfgang who got fed up and Powerbombed him over the ropes and onto Takuya on the outside! Wolfgang growled, but then he saw Toad slowly getting up in the ring. With a smirk, he gave a howl before pumping his leg at the standing at the Toad WHO DUCKED! He ducked and rolled up Wolfgang into a Small Package...AND GOT THE THREE COUNT! WOLFGANG WAS THE FIRST ELIMINATED! The Bully was shocked at what happened, his arrogance getting the better of them as he shouted at Jimmy over this, but Jimmy maintained that he was eliminated...all while Toad grinned, happy he was one step closer to the main event.
- The second elimination came when Takuya and Ruby were fighting in the middle of the ring, but Toad ducked a fist, kicked him in the knee and nailed a Mushroom DDT on him! He then proceeded to climb the corner and looked to finish off Ruby with the Goomba Stomp...but Takuya came in with a chair of all things, and Jimmy halted him and tried to take the chair away from him. Toad paid him no mind as he looked to jump off ONLY TO GET A WOLF'S KICK FROM THE APRON BY WOLFGANG! The ref didn't see as Takuya distracted, who had brought in the chair the moment he saw sight of Wolfgang coming out to let Wolfgang do the damage, and the Bully sneered as Toad fell off the mat lifeless before walking off, pleased with his work before Takuya went over to Toad, grabbed him, and planted him with the Pyro Twister! And from the, the three count and elimination was academic, Toad having been screwed by Wolfgang and Takuya's craftiness.
- It was now down to two, as Takuya and Ruby went at it. This was no fight over Pokemon and Digimon, but the two were fighting like the War was still on as they gave it everything they had. Takuya had the initial upper hand, taking advantage of Ruby being down because of Toad, and even nailing a Digi-Blaze across the turnbuckles face-first, before planting him with another one in the middle of the ring. However, Takuya got too sure of himself as he tried to finish it off with the Pyro Twister, but Ruby landed on his feet and quickly planted him with a Brainbuster! Takuya rolled out of the ring, but Ruby wouldn't be denied as he ran the ropes and nailed a Suicide Dive! He then threw Takuya back into the ring, and climbed the ropes and gestured with his hands, as if trying to get the best shot and form for this, and then nailed a BEAUTY of a Diving Elbow Drop to the chest of Takuya, which only netted a two count!
- The two kept going back and forth with each other, putting everything they had into this...and then it came to the end as Ruby tried for the Hoenn Coordination, but Takuya held onto him, and transitioned into a Fireman's Carry, and tried to spin him off, but Ruby landed on his feet and nailed a Roundhouse Kick to stun him! He then leaped at the ropes but got grabbed from behind when he did AND GERMANED OFF THEM AND RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF THE NECK! Ruby was practically out of it after that as Takuya grabbed him...and planted him with the Pyro Twister with authority! And from there, the pin...one...two...THREE. Takuya won the match, and was now the new No. 1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship!
- Takuya got his hand raised, and he just soaked in the moment. Finally, after all this time, he was back in the main event, where he felt he belonged. Takuya was going to meet Matt for the World Heavyweight Title, and that was the final image of the show...
- ...or it would have been had Takuya not grabbed a mic despite people saying there wasn't any more time for it, but he didn't care as he began speaking to everyone...
- "So despite what everyone tried to do, I'm back where I should be. After all the work, the sacrifice, all the obstacles, I have one more shot at the World Title. And it's up against Matty Baby...well, I hope he enjoys the time he had with the title. I really do...because at War Zone, I'm ending his stupid story. Because that's all he is...a STORY. A story that management wanted to make the GOLDEN CHILD the moment he walked in! He is NOTHING but a story that has ran its course, holding what should be mine multiple times! And at War Zone, I'm ending this crap, I'm ending you, Matt, and I'm ending this whole damn deal! I'm coming for what I deserve, what you DON'T, and reveal one thing...you being a FRAUD!"
- Takuya threw the mic down and lef the ring, everyone shocked by what he had said. The venom he spewed, the content...it wasn't anything they thought would be the case. But the last image of Flame would be Takuya walking up the ramp and to the back with one goal in mind: to become World Heavyweight Champion no matter what.

A/N: And that's that, for this edition of Flame! And yes, there is a LOT of stuff going on, and my recap style has changed again. I'm trying to keep myself compact and such to make things easier for me. Don't be surprised if things change for the next Flame as well, in terms of how I do some segments. But either way here is Flame for you all, and I hope you enjoyed it. Leave reviews if you can. Until next time, this is ForceWalker, signing off!
