Anime Valley Wrestling Chapter 9: E5 - Tag Team Turbulence - Part 1, a Wrestling + Cartoon X-overs Crossover fanfic

AVW Elevation: Episode 5 - Tag Team Turbulence [Part 1] (February 22, 2022)

("Broken World" by Alex Norre) played in the intro as the entranceway and the ramp lit up with pyro and fireworks in a rhythmic banner with the follow-up of wild cheers from the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, another Tuesday night of excitement and championship triumphs will be made here at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida!" Excalibur said with excitement.

"No lies there, Excalibur. I think the lucky number for today is number two because you know what associates with that number? A pair! And what do you call them? A tag team! And here tonight, we will be witnessing an appreciation night for one of the most important mainstay elements of professional wrestling." Corey stated as everyone at the commentary table nodded.

"That's right. It's Tag Team Appreciation Night but this ain't no ordinary night because we're in a flight of chaos known as TAG TEAM TURBULENCE!" Shun exclaimed. "I'm Shun Kaido, being accompanied by my senpais, Corey Graves and Excalibur!"

"Look at Kaido go! Acknowledging us as seniors, Corey. Don't you feel a bit glad about the compliment?" Excalibur asks his fellow colleague.

"Well, I am glad to be acknowledged by someone inexperienced and I think it is a slight exaggeration when I couldn't compare Kaido to Byron," Corey answered, causing Excalibur to chuckle and Kaido to raise an eyebrow.

("Blow out" by Konomi Suzuki) played in the arena as an explosive parade of pyrotechnics erupts off the side of the entranceway with both magicians appearing on the back with the crowd heavily cheering for the duo.

"The following tag team match is a Four-Way Match, scheduled for one fall, with a time limit of 30 minutes and it is for the AVW Women's Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, from the Alzano Empire, Sistine Fibel and Rumia Tingel – The Mage Sisters!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the girls looked confident at each other and shouted that it is time for them to achieve their goal.

"This duo of mages is set for this match and their confidence is palpable after Rumia Tingel won the Four Corners Match last week! They're hoping that this mood that they're in can secure them a victory as a tag team, much less becoming the first-ever AVW Women's Tag Team Champions!" Excalibur exclaimed as they stopped by the apron and bumped their fists to cause an explosive pyro on the stage to the cheers of the crowd.

"The future is bright for most of the teams and certainly for this team, a tag team gold would be an upgrade from the individuals, who only utilize books and spells all their entire life," Shun said as both of them entered the ring to taunt to the crowd.

("Shadow is the Light" by THE SIXTH LIE) began to play in the arena where the crowd was booing at their appearance on the stage with Darkness, who wielded her sword and stabs the sword in the middle, causing for the pyro to burst beside them. The pyro also signals for the fire wizard to appear with her staff, blasting more pyro above the Tron when she taps the floor with the weapon.

"Next, from the city of Axel, the team of Megumin and Darkness – Fire and Darkness!" Mai Sakurajima announced the adventurers, who were looking seriously at their opponents in the ring.

"When they hit a steel chair on Kill la Familia, a few weeks ago, the fans turned on them and did not expect them to be this kind of aggressive prior to this match," Corey said as they went on to the sides to whisper their plans for the match.

"Let's remember that the Mage Sisters, who were ultimately close to them, came to save them from an unexpected assault by Megumin and Darkness," Excalibur recalled. "But for now, it's any team's game, so this friendship will be set aside, in the name of calling one of them as new tag team champion!"

("Imaginary" by Evanescence) played next as the lights shut off monetarily until a spotlight sight a silhouette of women in the middle of the ramp. One was standing, and the other was kneeling as the light went back to reveal the last entrants and begins to walk towards the ring with a serious look to their opponents with the crowd booing in the background.

"Next, from the IS Academy, Houki Shinonono and Cecilia Alcott – Team Stratos!" Mai Sakurajima announced the third team as the newly arrived team was glaring at both Megumin and Darkness.

"Also, we also thought that Fire and Darkness and Team Stratos have a collusion but it turns out that Fire and Darkness has a master plan on their part," Shun said. "Hence, their faces aren't great to Megumin and Darkness."

"Their eyes really felt intense as a heatwave even though it's night time and that just describes the animosity between them," Corey added.

("Wild Thing" by X) was played in the background to a wild ovation with the girls entering through the audience, walking downstairs, paying no heed to the hands of the fans beside them as they descend towards the ringside area.

"And from the island of Honno, Ryuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuin – Kill la Familia!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the last entrants hopped over to the barricade. Ryuko was looking over to Team Stratos while Satsuki was looking over to Fire and Darkness.

"The fan favorites and the team in favor of winning the women's tag team championship. Kill la Familia is on a hunt and they're looking for their prey!" Excalibur exclaimed.

"Oh, how appropriate that this event is named Tag Team Turbulence. This is gonna be a car wreckage but instead of cars, it would be human." Corey added as both Ryuko and Satsuki were now glaring at Darkness and Megumin, who entered the ring by the bottom rope to get away from them.

The crowd begins to chant various names. Both Megumin and Darkness were relieved at first but then realize that they were in the ring with the Mage Sisters, who were looking at them with slyness with the latter team firing the first shot to the former after looking back at them to the cheers of the crowd. Meanwhile, Team Stratos took advantage by whacking them from behind both Ryuko and Satsuki, also engulfing a ringside beatdown.

"All teams are not wasting any time to get down with one another! They're certainly everywhere at the ringside, it's gonna be unpredictable from this point onwards." Excalibur said as Darkness went for Clothesline to Rumia, who ducked and hits her with a Spinning Backfist to the face, causing for Darkness to stagger nearby the ropes.

Rumia saw Darkness nearby the ropes and looks over to the crowd on each side as she ran towards her and sends both herself and Darkness to the outside with a Cactus Clothesline, leaving Megumin and Sistine on the ringside while the other teams were nearby the ramp and exchanging offenses to one another.

"The bell did not even ring yet and this might be over than it started!" Shun exclaimed as they observed the chaos outside of the ring.

Sistine went for an Irish Whip on Megumin, who counters on her own and sends Sistine to the corner. Megumin ran towards her but was met by a boot of Sistine, who immediately climbs up to the top, looking to aim at Megumin. But Megumin quickly recovered and also climbs up to the top, decking Rumia with a few punches.

"Both Sistine and Megumin are on the top and one wrong move might be the downfall, no pun intended, to one or in this case, to both," Corey said as Darkness begins to pummel Rumia, who just got up from the floor while on both sides of them were Ryuko and Houki, and Satsuki and Cecilia, taking punishment with each other respectively.

Megumin took one last shot to the face of Sistine as she attempts a Superplex but was instantly blocked by Sistine, who fires her own shot at Megumin, almost falling off from the top but holding on. Sistine noticed from behind that the other people were on the same side of the ringside as she hooks the arm of Megumin over her shoulder, the gesture made the fans stand up as Sistine hits a Superplex on Megumin into the pool of people outside, causing for the fans to chant expletive repeatedly.

"Oh, my God! A Superplex takes everyone out to the outside, unbelievable!" Excalibur shouted as the referee shouted also that they must enter the ring to no avail, due to the outstanding move.

"Right off the bat, the Jacksonville crowd saw something incredible and we are just getting started!" Corey exclaimed. "And also, the match did not even begin at this point."

"It's only a matter of time before someone will enter the ring to begin the match," Shun added as Sistine picks up Megumin and sends her back to the ring, also her as well.

Before she could go back into the ring, Sistine's leg was pulled by Darkness as she kicks her a few times, sending her down again as the crowd booed when Megumin hits a Dropkick on Sistine, signaling for the match to start as Megumin went for the cover.

Sistine kicks out immediately.

"A quick dropkick won't be enough for Megumin to win the match and she is looking for a plan, perhaps for her, Darkness," Shun said as they observe Darkness went to the apron as she extends her arm to tag herself in and the crowd did not love the tag from the team. "Here's a tag to Darkness from Megumin."

Megumin climbs up to the top rope and walks across Darkness' shoulders as she hits an Elevated Splash as Darkness went for the pin with Megumin, rolling out of the ring in pain.

Sistine kicks out as Darkness drops an elbow to the gut of Sistine and a few more until she picks her up and attempts a Vertical Suplex but Sistine lands on her feet and kicks the gut of Darkness. Sistine bounces to the ropes as she sends herself to Darkness, who got hit by a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, sending Darkness to a corner, which turns out to be Team Stratos', in which Cecilia sneakily tags out Darkness.

"There's a sneaky tag by Cecilia from their corner and The Mage Sisters are not aware of the tag," Corey said as Sistine tags in Rumia, who just got up on the apron and both mages hits a Double Dropkick to Darkness, who rolls outside on an instinct.

The Mage Sisters took time to interact with the crowd not knowing that Cecilia entered the ring as she rolls Sistine up for a quick cover.

Sistine quickly kicks out as the referee saw Rumia, trying to save her partner but he stopped her from going to them. Team Stratos took advantage of the distraction as Cecilia poke the eyes of Sistine, causing the crowd to boo them. Houki then enters the ring and scoops Sistine up and throws her from behind as Cecilia hits a Double Knee Facebreaker. Houki then attacks Rumia with a Big Boot, causing her to fall down on the middle rope to the floor. The referee sends back Houki to her corner and as soon as he saw Cecilia pinning Sistine, he began to count.

Sistine kicks out as Cecilia immediately wraps her with a Chin Lock.

"What a tag team move from Team Stratos! They took advantage of that unintentional distraction brought by Rumia but Sistine keeps the match alive. And Cecilia Alcott, being conniving with using underhanded tactics is just unbelievable." Excalibur said.

"You can say that again, Excalibur," Corey replied as Sistine begins to show signs of movements when she tries to crawl towards the nearest rope despite being held hostage by Cecilia. The crowd also was behind Sistine.

After a few seconds, Sistine held on to the ropes but the referee told her that there are no rope breaks as Cecilia rolls her back to the center but Sistine countered with a Cradle Pin.

Cecilia quickly kicks out as both women stood up in unison with Cecilia attempting for a Clothesline but Sistine ducked and hits a Roundhouse Kick to the side of the face of Cecilia, stunning her instantly as she attempts to make a tag to her partner on the corner. However, Cecilia suddenly gains consciousness and grabs the leg of Sistine to the chagrin of the crowd until the latter rolls herself and unintentionally sends Cecilia to Rumia, who got hit by a right hand from Cecilia.

"Wow! Amazing awareness by Cecilia! She turns a negative into a positive and decks Rumia on their corner to avoid getting tagged by Sistine!" Corey complimented the move as the crowd continues to boo Cecilia, who picks Sistine up and attempts a Blue Tears Suplex (Backdrop Driver) but Sistine miraculously lands on her feet to kick the gut of Cecilia. Sistine then grabs the head of Cecilia and lifts herself up to hit Sliced Bread #16 (Standing Shiranui), causing for both women to go down.

"Sliced Bread Number Sixteen by Sistine and everyone is down!" Excalibur exclaimed as both members of Kill la Familia and Fire and Darkness rose up to the apron and desperately wants to make a tag.

"Sistine doesn't have her partner to tag on and Rumia is still down on the floor. This might force her to tag anyone else!" Shun added as both Cecilia and Sistine slowly crawls towards their corner but not in the case of Sistine, who tries to make a tag to Ryuko on the other corner.

Cecilia successfully tags Houki in while Sistine tags Ryuko but it did not occur when both Megumin and Darkness pulled Ryuko and Satsuki off the apron and hits several punches. Both adventurers send the Familia to the barricade, causing for the crowd to jeer over Megumin and Darkness.

"Wow! Came in a mere few seconds but a tag did not happen over Ryuko as they got mauled by Fire and Darkness! It's a wise move from them but this could spell trouble on Sistine!" Corey explained as Houki picks up Sistine from the corner and hits a Fallaway Slam, sending Sistine across to the other and also in pain.

"Fallaway Slam by Houki, sending Sistine for a hellish ride across the ring!" Excalibur exclaimed as Houki saw both Darkness and Megumin making their way back to the apron as she tags Darkness, causing the crowd to heavily boo the tag.

"This is a surprise, Houki tagging Darkness is the last thing I expect to see here despite getting riled up by Darkness and Megumin," Shun said in disbelief as both Darkness and Houki set Sistine up for a Double Vertical Suplex but Sistine unbelievably kept her weight heavy despite getting beaten. "Why in the heck Sistine is still fighting after all this punishment that she is getting?!"

The duo tried to lift Sistine up but the latter amazingly counters it with a Double DDT, spiking the heads of both Darkness and Houki, who rolled immediately outside. With a sense of urgency, Megumin desperately extends her arms to her partner. Meanwhile, the crowd begins to cheer again as Ryuko slowly stood up and climbs up to the apron, and extends her arm, shouting at Sistine to tag.

"Oh, my goodness! Here's Ryuko back up and no one else Sistine can tag to! This is her only chance to tag out and to take reprieve!" Excalibur exclaimed as both Darkness and Sistine successfully tags Megumin and Ryuko respectively to the wild roar of the crowd with both of them entering the ring simultaneously.

Ryuko strikes Megumin a Clothesline, followed by another and a few Knife Edge Chops, sending Megumin to a corner. Ryuko sees Houki on the apron and was able to beat her with a Forearm Shot, sending her back outside. Ryuko went to whip Megumin to the other corner but was countered with her own whip as the latter went to the corner but was met by the former's boot. Ryuko then climbs up to the second turnbuckle and drops Megumin on the canvas with a Double Foot Stomp to the cheers from the fans. Ryuko interacts with the supporting crowd as she sights Satsuki, who offers a hand, and Ryuko tags her partner in.

"It might feel good for Ryuko to finally get his hands on their match, even for Satsuki!" Corey said as Satsuki lifts Megumin on her back while Ryuko knelt on one knee and hits an Alabama Slam/Backbreaker combination with Satsuki covering Megumin.

Rumia unexpectedly breaks the count with a Double Axe Handle as Ryuko picks Rumia and confronts her.

"When you talk about friendships, that should be off the list when a championship is at stake and Ryuko is definitely not having it," Shun said as Rumia tells Ryuko that it was for the belt that she broke the pin. With this answer, Rumia shoves Ryuko, who reacted poorly as she decks her with a right hand.

"You're right, it's all about the gold and this won't end well for those involved, despite their alliance of some proportions," Corey said as Sistine suddenly enters the ring to turn Ryuko around her and also confront her.

Ryuko did not care for the friendship nor their sportsmanship as she shoves Sistine, who gave her an intense glare and said to bring more offense as Ryuko offers a chop to her but did not budge and shouted at her, provoking her severely. Sistine is all fired up with multiple Knife Edge Chops to the chest, and even some palm strikes were added to the punishment to Ryuko.

"Sistine Fibel is a woman possessed with those strikes and chops and the Jacksonville are in a euphoria!" Excalibur exclaimed as Sistine stopped the blitz of strikes as she looks over to the crazy crowd and gestured that it is time to take the wheel.

Sistine chops the hell out of Ryuko's chest and wrings her arm to climb up to the top as she interacts with the fans and begins her tightrope walk against the ropes. Sistine saw the upcoming Cecilia climbing up to the apron as she kicks his face, landing her on the outside. After Cecilia, Houki went up to grab Sistine but the latter prevailed with another kick, sending the former down.

"Corner to corner, Sistine is able to hang on to the ropes and kicks both Team Stratos! What an amazing showing of balance!" Corey exclaimed as Sistine wows everyone when she kept continuing the tightrope walk as she kicks Megumin, whose head was draping on the top rope, and the upcoming Darkness, who got fell to the floor. "She's still continuing and has no slip-ups on the ropes. By god!"

"This is an incredible showing of balance from Sistine and still was able to hang on the arms of Ryuko, who is still trying to escape the wringer." Excalibur complimented Sistine, who continues the walk and kicks Satsuki, who was also hanging by the ropes as she completed the third corner and was able to make it through a whole rotation to the standing ovation of fans.

"Jacksonville crowd is showing love and respect for Sistine and she is going for the kill, no pun intended," Shun said as Sistine went for the Hurricanrana on Ryuko, who counters it when she picks her up mid-air and hits a Powerbomb on Sistine.

Ryuko then picks her up again and shakes her arm to regain her blood flow and hooks her arms and hardly hits Sistine's head with a J-Driller, knocking her out immediately.

"J-Driller! J-Driller spikes the head of Sistine! That has got to be over for her but she is not the legal competitor. That would be Satsuki and Megumin." Excalibur reminded everyone of the match progression.

Ryuko then saw Satsuki standing up and told her to pick up Rumia, who was on the corner also backing up on her feet. Ryuko then picks Rumia up and picks her up in a Belly-to-Back position and tosses Rumia to Satsuki, who hits a Powerbomb on Rumia.

"Decapitation Mode (Belly-to-back pop up into a Powerbomb) by Kill la Familia but bear in mind that Rumia is not the other legal individual in the match," Corey said as both Ryuko and Satsuki prematurely celebrates as Ryuko backs out of the ring to tag herself in, making her the new legal person in the ring.

Satsuki picks Rumia up on her shoulders in an Electric Chair position as Ryuko climbs up to the top to make the match ender. However, when Satsuki felt a presence behind, she turns and was met with a Spear from Houki, causing her and Rumia to fall down on the canvas while the crowd disapprove of their intervention, sending the latter outside. While Cecilia on the apron, pushes Ryuko from the top, in which, Houki amazingly catches Ryuko mid-air and sends her into a Fireman's Carry position. Cecilia then springboards from the apron and the team hits a Samoan Drop/Springboard Corkscrew Neckbreaker combination on Ryuko. Cecilia's impact racked her back hard as she rolls outside to respite.

"Samoan Drop and Springboard Neckbreaker combination to Ryuko and still neither of Team Stratos are the legal individual beside Ryuko!" Excalibur exclaimed as Houki grabs the leg of Ryuko and interacts with the crowd and told them that this is the end and executes a Figure Four Leg Lock.

"A submission by Houki but how could they win from this? Houki is an illegal competitor." Shun complained as Ryuko shouted in pain as she grabs the ropes but the referee says that the rope breaks are invalid with Houki shouting to tap.

Ryuko is in jeopardy as there is no way out until she tries to roll on her stomach but all of a sudden, the crowd went in awe when Megumin, from out of nowhere, hits a Frog Splash on Houki as Megumin stacks Ryuko into a pin.

Ryuko kicks out of instinct, causing the fans and Megumin to bewilder by the nearfall. The crowd began to chant 'This is awesome!'

"Are you kidding me?! Are you serious?! The match should be over but by instinct, this match continues!" Shun exclaimed as Megumin picks up Ryuko and tagged Darkness on their corner to the boos of the crowd.

Megumin then sets Ryuko up in a Russian Leg Sweep position as Darkness bounces to the ropes and went for the Lariat but Ryuko pulls Megumin, inadvertently hitting Megumin with a Lariat, sending the wizard rolling outside. When Darkness realizes her mistake, Ryuko took advantage and hits a Neckbreaker Slam.

"How the hell is Ryuko even standing despite being hurt in a submission?" Corey asked in shock as Ryuko saw Darkness in a corner with the former climbing up to the top and beating Darkness to a pulp. Little didn't they know that Cecilia tags herself on behalf of Darkness. "Oh, I think Ryuko never saw it, and so is Darkness, who never felt the tag."

Ryuko then whips Darkness to the other side but was countered by Darkness as Ryuko hits her back on the turnbuckles. Darkness made a run to the corner but Ryuko sidestep as Darkness hits the ring post, shoulder first.

"Ryuko was able to somehow dodge the attack by Darkness and how can she keep up with all of this pace coming through her?" Excalibur asked as Ryuko smacks the back of Darkness and a few seconds after, Ryuko surprises everyone when she hoists Darkness up and hits a massive Powerbomb.

Ryuko went for the cover but Cecilia sneaks from behind and rolls her up.

Ryuko kicks out again as Cecilia was showing signs of frustration.

"Ryuko is still in this! But the chances of her getting a tag now is slim to none!" Shun exclaimed as Cecilia stood up and waits for her to get up. "Cecilia is looking for their team to become new tag team champions!"

Cecilia sights Ryuko standing as she went for a Double Knee Facebreaker but Ryuko catches her mid-move, surprising Cecilia, who went over her to counter with a Sunset Flip but Ryuko is able to slip through the pin. Ryuko kicks the gut and attempts a J-Driller again but Cecilia is able to block the attempt using her weight. Cecilia was able to counter the move with a Backslide but Ryuko also uses her weight to avoid the upcoming pin as the crowd was anxious to see who was getting the upper hand.

"Counter after counter after counter, these girls or their teams deserve that championship gold but someone has to pin to end the match," Corey said as Cecilia was able to backflip through Ryuko as she pushes her to the ropes with Cecilia propels Ryuko into the air before two unknowns entered the ring and hits a Double Superkick on Ryuko on landing, causing for the crowd to go in awe and booing them afterward. "W-Wait… w-w-who in the…"

"They are outsiders inside, someone should eject them. This is ridiculous!" Shun exclaimed.

"I-I think they're wearing the same uniform as Cecilia and Houki… could it be…?" Corey asked unsurely as Cecilia slowly crawls into the pin while the two newly-arrived individuals were standing behind her.

The bell rang in succession as the crowd booed them as Cecilia knelt in delight as the two mystery people coax the referee to get the titles and he picks up the new belts while Houki enters the ring to embrace her partner. The referee then gave the titles to both Houki and Cecilia. Meanwhile, the other two turn them around to meet them and stalled time to give them a group hug, earning more jeers from the fans.

"Rejoice, everyone! Cecilia Alcott and Houki Shinonono are your inaugural AVW Women's Tag Team Champions in an epic and chaotic match! Team Stratos is at the top of the women's tag division." Corey announced as the two unknowns raised the arms of the champions, earning more boos from the fans.

"With the help of those two new partners of theirs, sure…" Shun replied.

"I think we just received information about the identity of the two other partners of Team Stratos. The one with an eyepatch and a red-eyed lady is Laura Bodewig and the other is the blonde girl named Charlotte Dunois and looks like Team Stratos is getting bigger and now they are your first AVW Women's Tag Team Champions!" Excalibur said as the quartet posed with the titles. "Let's not forget the other teams who put themselves in peril just for the sake of calling them tag team champions!"

The camera focuses on the other teams with defeated looks while Kill la Familia were upset about the sneaky victory from their foes. The arena turned black and the spotlight was given to the champions and flickered as they savor the victory more to make the fans upset once more.

General Manager's Office

The camera focuses on the General Manager Kokomi Teruhashi, who was reading papers on her desk until her focus was halted when Kazuma Sato barged into her office, indignantly sitting in a chair as he wailed in front of her, causing her to make a serious look on Kazuma.

"Hello, Mr. Kazuma, may I help you?" She asked.

"You know what happened last week, were you? Wait-wait-wait…" Kazuma pause and took a deep breath but continues to complain. "You know what happened to me since this company started?! I constantly lose and lose a match until now and I need to prove to you that I could beat someone in the ring."

"Huh… so you're implying that you want another match?" The GM asked again.

"Yes! I really need to be the most popular superstar in this brand and I want to prove it not just by talking but by beating! You will grant my request, right?!"

GM Teruhashi went to one of the compartments on her desk and picks up a manila envelope to reveal a paper where she scans the content of the file.

"What now?" Kazuma hurriedly asked.

"Well, I could give you another one but I wanna know what your next opponent thinks of my proposition." She answered. "So, next week, you and a familiar foe of yours will collide again in Phoenix, Arizona. Your opponent will be Rimuru Tempest and—"

"W-Wait a second, him? Her? It? Again? What kind of—"

"I'm not finishing talking here, Mr. Kazuma." GM Teruhashi continued. "And a slot for the AVW Infinity Championship Ladder Match is on the line because if you win, you will be replacing Rimuru in that match."

Kazuma's eyes widened as he nodded profusely.

"Yes! Yes! That's the match! That's the match I needed! Because if I win that match, I will be looking to become the first Infinity Champion, I don't care if you boo me or not because, with a title, you'll become more popular than ever."

"Great assertion, Mr. Kazuma. But like I said before, I need the approval of your opponent and I think he's not—"

"I'm here."

Both Kazuma and the GM look up to see Rimuru Tempest, who received cheers in the background and went his way to another vacated chair, facing Kazuma.

"I like the idea, Ms. Teruhashi. I think it's a perfect fit since this pretender is really getting out of his mind. And in fact, I am willing to put my opportunity on the line against you." He aimed his finger at Kazuma, who seemed annoyed by his presence. "And it will be my honor to beat you up again and… it will be my pleasure to embarrass you again if you lose."

Kazuma suddenly shoves Rimuru with such force that his chair fell off, and so is Rimuru, causing him to be irate to a sneering Kazuma.

"I will be honored if I am going to kick your ass until you could not make it to Battle Chronicle and I will prove that I will be the new champion," Kazuma said as he left the office as the GM is currently checking on Rimuru, who manages to stand on his own.

"It's official. Rimuru Tempest versus Kazuma Sato Part 2 next week in Phoenix, Arizona, with the opportunity for the ladder match at Battle Chronicle on the line!" Excalibur reiterated the announcement. "I can't wait for another showdown in the ring."

"Also, can't wait for Kazuma to beat the hell out of Rimuru, so he could snag that slot on the ladder match," Corey replied.

("Falling Down" by Oasis) was played in the arena as the crowd react negatively when the duo of the brigade showed up as the lights from the ramp were flashing hastily.

"The following match is one of two semi-final matches of the Tag Team Turbulence Tournament. It is scheduled for one fall with a 30-minute time limit, introducing first, the team of Yato and Yukine – SOS Brigade!" Mai Sakurajima announced the first team in the semis and went inside the ring.

"Well, as you can see that their leader, Haruhi Suzumiya, is missing and is not on their side for this match, and unsurely, if they win here, until the finals. But Haruhi left us with a short message and we'll show it to you in a picture-in-picture!" Excalibur announced as the screen became dual with the new screen, showing Haruhi and her team on her side, showing optimism about her.

"Listen, everyone. I just want to let you know that I will not be in their corner for the rest of the tournament. As you can see as much as I love to appear in their corner but it is clearly obvious that people don't want to see me interfering in a such prestigious event like Tag Team Turbulence. Although, in the past few days, I have had these two over me in a meeting of minds about the strategies that they will be making. So, I am positive that they can surpass these teams that don't belong on our level. But first, they can rid of those stupid buffoons Bakugo and Todoroki, and subsequently, it all comes down to the other two teams in the other match. I don't care, they don't care who they're facing but we are 100% sure on making this a reality, and Yato and Yukine will be your inaugural AVW World Tag Team Champions." Haruhi bluntly spoke as the screen went back to normal, where both Yato and Yukine gestured the letters that represents them and also gestured that the titles will belong to them.

"A powerful and positive speech by the leader of SOS Brigade, it is sad that we don't praise the presence of Haruhi Suzumiya. But on her behalf, this team should do their homework and they're going to face a hurdle, a familiar hurdle." Corey replied.

("New Rockers" by Jim Johnston) played in the arena where the familiar team of Class 1-A appeared at the entrance to a wild reception, where both of them sprint across the ramp until they slid underneath the bottom rope to taunt the fans.

"And their opponents, the team of Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo!" Mai Sakurajima announced the other participants as both Shoto and Katsuki jumped from the middle turnbuckle and backflipped to the canvas to gain more support from the audience.

"Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo are one of the favorites to win the tournament but after what transpired, last week, who knows how this affects them from a mental perspective," Excalibur said.

"We all know that these guys including our World Champion, Izuku Midoriya, don't back down at anything, even a loss, which was their first in the records but I am confident that these guys can bring out all the stops here," Shun said.

"Likewise to the other team, even the four teams in the semi-finals, needed the victory and the gold to be recognized in the world of Fiction Wrestling Universe," Corey added as both teams huddled up on to who started the match until they made their minds. "Looks like Shoto Todoroki and Yato will start the match."

Once the music died down, the referee signals for the timekeeper to ring the bell as it chimed instantly. The crowd begins to chant the names of Class 1-A with Yato not liking what he hears as he attempts to behead Shoto with a Clothesline but was countered with a Waistlock. Yato tries to sneak an Elbow Shot to Shoto, who ducks it also as he sends him to an isolated corner to tackle him a few times.

"These guys pretty knew much well after all of these battles that they had in the last few weeks, including the last week's edition of Elevation. And for now, Class 1-A has been prevailing in the get-go." Excalibur said as Shoto whips Yato to the other empty corner but was countered until Shoto slides before he could collide into the ring and leaped to Shoto with a Clothesline to the cheers of the crowd.

"What a move by Todoroki, leaping off after avoiding the corner to hit that Clothesline is amazing!" Shun exclaimed as Shoto picks up Yato to kick him in the gut with Shoto bounced to the ropes and leaped over Yato with a Sunset Flip; however, instead of pinning, Shoto instantly backs up to extend his body, especially his arm to tag Katsuki, wowing the crowd.

"Unique tag by Shoto Todoroki to his partner while Yato is trapped in a predicament." Corey complimented as Yato tried to reverse the pin only to meet with a kick by an incoming Katsuki to the chest.

Both Shoto and Katsuki roll him backward in the center of the ring as both bounce to the opposite ropes and hits in-sync PKs to both chest and back of Yato, causing him to be in pain and clutching his body. Shoto went back to their corner while Katsuki went for the cover.

Yato kicks out.

"Lethal kicks to the body of Yato would be felt for tonight or possibly until next week," Shun said as Katsuki picks up Yato and chops him a few times until he is in a corner.

Katsuki whips Yato to the other corner as the former ran towards the latter, who sends him outside but only to land on the apron. Katsuki fires a Forearm Shot at Yato as he springboards on the rope only to be tipped off by Yato on the ropes, causing Katsuki to fall on the canvas hard on his back. The crowd began to boo Yato after the move.

"Hard fall by Bakugo by a rope trip from Yato and the fans aren't much of a fan of their antics," Excalibur said as Yato tags Yukine, who enters the ring to the chorus of boos in the background.

Yato and Yukine mocks their opponents as they bounce to the opposite ropes and hi-fived to hit their Double Elbow Drop to the chest of Katsuki before Yato takes a cheap shot on Shoto, who fell on the floor with the crowd booing them loudly before he could go back to the apron.

"Cheap shot by the SOS Brigade and of course, Haruhi said that they have strategized on the overall tournament and this is one of them," Shun said as Yukine picks up Katsuki and sends his carcass sliding underneath the bottom rope until his body slammed the floor, earning more boos from the brigade.

"Bakugo just got sent for a ride and it was a gnarly expedition!" Excalibur exclaimed as the referee begins to count on the outside while the SOS Brigade begins to mock the crowd. "And the brigade is letting themselves get a victory by count-out."

"I don't think it matters if you win it by a countout, the SOS Brigade will advance to the finals if Bakugo could not get up from that before 10," Corey replied.

The referee was on five while Shoto shouts to his partner to get up as Bakugo begins to show signs of movement as he hang on the apron to climb; however, Yukine has other plans with him throwing Bakugo to the fan barricade, garnering more boos from the crowd and gestured his brain.

"And Yukine told everyone on the ringside that they have high intelligence ahead of this match and bragging about it will just hinder them in their tag team expedition," Shun said as Yukine decides to send Bakugo back in the ring and followed suit to cover Katsuki with a leg hooked.

Katsuki kicked out as Yukine stomps the heck out of Bakugo and went to their corner to tag Yato back.

"There's the tag and they are trying to keep Bakugo isolate from their corner and Todoroki is back up on the apron after getting blindsided by the brigade," Excalibur said as both Yato and Yukine both grasp the legs of their opponent as they yank the legs of Katsuki with a Wishbone to the jeers from the fans.

"A Wishbone almost splitting the leg of Bakugo and this might also split the chances of Class 1-A's tag team victory," Corey said as Yato focuses on the leg and locked in the Kneebar on the right leg with Katsuki shouting in pain. "Kneebar applied and this might do it for them."

Yato tightly locks the submission while Katsuki attempts to make it to the nearest rope as Shoto did the cheering on his partner with the crowd clapping in participation. When Yato senses that he is nowhere in the center, he pulls back to the center but was suddenly kicked by Shoto, who enters the ring to save his partner only to be reprimanded by the referee to the cheers of the fans.

"Although, it's illegal but they have to do it and the Class 1-A's chances in this match have been increasing but at a slow pace," Shun said as both men were down also standing up in unison with the help of the ropes.

Yato tries to run towards Katsuki but got tripped when the latter utilizes a Drop Toe Hold, sending the former's head draping on the middle rope. When Katsuki was clutching his leg and knee to bounce to the ropes, he did not see Yukine tagging Yato out as Katsuki attempts a Tiger Feint Kick but when he looks back, he was met with a Lariat by Yukine, turning him inside and out.

"Wow! What a wicked Lariat by Yukine and at this point Bakugo needs a desperate tag but I think that won't happen anytime soon!" Corey exclaimed as Yukine picked up Yato to whisper something to him and nodded.

Both members of the brigade pick up the damaged Katsuki and lift him up to hit a Double Release Northern Lights Suplex, causing the fans to boo them heavily as Yato goes back to the apron while Yukine went for the pin, hooking both legs of his opponent.

Katsuki still kicks out to the cheers of the crowd and to the dismay of Yukine.

"I think that might be the outcome but the match continues and so is the punishment for Bakugo," Shun said as the crowd begins to chant Katsuki's name while Shoto is shouting for his brethren.

Yukine picks up Katsuki and hoists him up on the turnbuckle in a sitting position. Yukine follows to climb only to stop on the middle turnbuckle as he took a few straight rights to Katsuki, who was flailing his arms to avoid falling. Yukine grabs the arm of Katsuki and attempts to hit a Superplex but the latter miraculously counters with a headbutt, and another, and a third headbutt. Katsuki followed up with him sending Yukine's face to the turnbuckle many times.

"Bakugo has suddenly gained at least energy to fight off the upcoming Superplex and he's going nuts on the head of his foe!" Excalibur exclaimed as Katsuki sees Yukine unresponsive and leaped off the turnbuckle to hit a Sunset Flip Powerbomb to the awe of the crowd and the competitors. "Huge Sunset Flip Powerbomb from the top turnbuckle, can Bakugo finally make a desperate tag to Todoroki after all of this?"

"This could be a game changer if he gets the tag," Shun replied as the crowd was cheering for Class 1-A as the legal competitors began to move with Katsuki crawling towards their corner while Yukine shook his head to regain his focus.

Katsuki was a few inches ahead of the tag but Yukine wisely grabs the leg of Katsuki to the boos of the crowd. When Yukine finally pulls the leg, Katsuki pulled out a Wheelbarrow Victory Roll as a counter, not to attempt a pin but to use the momentum to roll himself to the corner as he finally tags Shoto with the fans going bananas for the hot tag.

"Finally, here comes the tag, and here comes Shoto Todoroki with the hot tag! And what a unique way to tag out too!" Excalibur was surprised at what transpired a few seconds ago.

Shoto climbs up to the top turnbuckle as he sights Yukine, who began to stand on his own as he drops him again with a Diving Meteora and ran towards the other side of the corner to deck Yato with a Forearm Shot, causing Yato to fall down to the floor from the apron. Shoto attacks an already backed-up Yukine with a Clothesline, followed by another, a kick to the gut, and bounces to the ropes to hit a Running Blockbuster. Shoto then stood up immediately to taunt the fans in a crazed mood.

"Shoto Todoroki is on fire with those flurry of offense after getting the tag. The feeling is comprehensible!" Shun exclaimed as went to the apron and climb up to the top turnbuckle, attempting to hit a high-risk on to Yukine; however, he saw Yato standing up on with the assist of the barricade and went instead to hit a Corkscrew Moonsault on Yato to the outside to the wild cheers of the audience. "What the hell?! He instead took the high-risk outside on Yato! Shoto Todoroki is on the game, folks!"

Shoto went back to the ring to grab Yukine and sends him over his shoulder in a Torture Rack position until he hits a Rack Bomb, stacking Yukine for the pin.

Yukine kicks out.

"Rack Bomb by Todoroki but only for a two count and there's Bakugo on the corner and makes a tag!" Shoto quickly makes a tag to Katsuki and picks up Yukine, lifting him up in a Vertical Suplex position; however, Yato caught Yukine safely and was in a Powerbomb position but before Katsuki and Shoto could look back, Yato tosses Yukine and favorably hits a Double Cutter onto both men, sending awes in the arena.

"What the hell?! Did you see what they did there?! Yato tosses his partner like he was his opponent and thought he was going to hit a Powerbomb but it turned out to be a Double Cutter. That was out of this world, Excalibur!" Corey said in amazement as both men went to cover both Katsuki and Shoto simultaneously.

Both members of Class 1-A also kicked out concurrently to the cheers of the fans, who subsequently chanted 'This is awesome!'. While the talents are down on the canvas, feeling weary at the intensity of the match.

"You are right, Corey! This night won't be called Tag Team Turbulence for moments like these! Unbelievable teamwork from both of these teams!" Excalibur exclaimed as the quartet slowly rose up from the canvas as all of them fought each other, exchanging punches with their opponents. "Right fist after right fist, it gets tougher and tougher for both of these teams at this point. Who can capitalize on this occasion?"

The quartet also shows they stood up while being beaten up by one another until Katsuki attempts a kick to Yukine, who grabs the leg as it inadvertently hits Yato to the side of the head, causing him to fall on the canvas. Meanwhile, Yukine attempts a Clothesline but was ducked by Katsuki, who went behind and grabs her arms to hold him hostage as Shoto hits a Gamengiri to the face.

"Great teamwork by both Bakugo and Todoroki and… uh-ohhh, I think the end could be near here as both Yato and Yukine are on the middle rope," Shun said as Class 1-A saw both members of the brigade's head draping on the middle rope and Katsuki bounces to the ropes and hits both men with a Double Tiger Feint Kick, sending Yukine flopping in the center while Yato rolls out of the ring to a raving crowd.

"Bakugo is on the top, looking to punch a ticket to the finals!" Corey exclaimed as Katsuki leaps off of the top to hit a Diving Splash while Shoto saw Yato standing up. Shoto bounces to the ropes and went outside with a Tope Suicida but Yato surprisingly embraces Shoto and hits him with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex on the fan barricade, causing the mood to change inside the arena.

"Yato just takes out Shoto with a Belly-to-Belly on the barricade… and here comes Bakugo, covering Yukine…" Corey said as the referee counts the pin.

Yato breaks the pin as the crowd was mildly booing them while also chanting 'This is awesome!'.

"Oh, my goodness! Only 2.999, if there ever was one and the crowd thought it would be over just as Yato breaks the count and he is taking it to Bakugo!" Excalibur exclaimed as Yato mounted over Bakugo and then targets the injured knee to the jeers of the crowd until the referee barricaded himself to warn Yato of the attack.

With the referee checking on Katsuki's leg, Yato took advantage of the situation and pulls Yukine out of the scene, and went back to their corner as he tags himself back. Yato enters the ring while Yukine took a respite on the apron. Yato picks up Katsuki and lifts him back to the top turnbuckle as Yato called Yukine to climb also to the top. Yato kicks the leg of Katsuki, which he screams in pain then follows up with a few Knife Edge Chops to the chest.

"Oh, man. How long does it gonna take for these two teams to endure this prolonging exhaustion?" Shun asked as Yato climbs up to the top as well and prepares himself to lift Katsuki up until he finally hits a Superplex on the canvas, both men hurting in the process.

Meanwhile, Yukine was on top, trying to shake off the cobwebs as he attempts to finish off with a Power-Plex tag team combo; however, the crowd stood up in enthusiasm when Shoto, from out of nowhere, springboards on the ropes and hits a Diving Frankensteiner, sending himself and Yukine on the canvas as well, causing for the crowd to stand on to their feet with a great reception.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!" The crowd chanted continuously while all men are down.

"Are you freaking kidding me?! Frankensteiner off the top and the crowd here in Jacksonville are sending their admiration to both teams, who went in a tag team war!" Excalibur shouted on his microphone.

"Double whammy goes the teams on the canvas! But my god, I have never seen these kinds of sequences in my whole entire life." Corey added as Yato instead crawls towards Katsuki and taps the arm on the chest of Katsuki with the referee beginning to count.

Shoto, this time, was able to break the count, causing the fans to cheer on them.

"And Todoroki makes the save just in time and this contest wouldn't stop until someone hits their final shot!" Shun exclaimed as both Todoroki and Bakugo picked up Yato to whip him into a corner as Shoto whipped Katsuki to the corner where Yato is and hits a Stinger Splash.

Yato instinctively knelt down as both Class 1-A members knew what was coming and there were on both sides of Yato to attempts to hit a Double Roundhouse Kick but Yukine decks both Shoto and Katsuki from behind with clubbing blows, causing the crowd to boo. Yukine attempts to toss Shoto but was countered by the latter and sends the former to the outside. While Yato took advantage and tosses Shoto to the other side of the floor; meanwhile, when he looked back, he was met with a Roundhouse Kick by Katsuki.

"A huge Roundhouse and the battle still continue… and I think Bakugo wants to end this in a high anticipation moment!" Excalibur exclaimed as he looked onto an empty corner to pick up a lifeless Yato and lifts him into a sitting position on the top turnbuckle.

Katsuki went back to the other corner and measure his opponent but was unaware that Yukine sneaks in a tag from Yato, who was on the top still. Katsuki went all-out as he ran and leap off the canvas to the top turnbuckle to hit a Frankensteiner; however, Yato woke up and blocks the attempt while Yukine enters the ring to climb to the middle rope despite holding the rope. Yato adjusts his opponent as both Yato and Yukine hit a Super SOS Driver (Spike Piledriver) from the second turnbuckle, sending shockwaves to everyone.

"OHHH! A Modified Spike Piledriver from the middle turnbuckle! This might be the piece de resistance for the SOS Brigade!" Excalibur shouted as Yukine grabs both legs of Katsuki and covers him.

Shoto tries to enter the ring but Yato grabs the head and locks him in a Front Facelock.

The bell rang in succession as the music began to play. The crowd stood up and applaud the teams instead of booing the winners despite being laid down after being in a grueling match.

"Here are your winners, SOS Brigade's Yato and Yukine!" Mai Sakurajima announced the victors, who went to raise their arms in victory despite being exhausted as they both rolled out of the ring to gesture to the fans that their time is now and the championship belt will be on their waist with the crowd regaining their hate towards the brigade.

"Unbelievable! Class 1-A and SOS Brigade went to an all-out war, showing off their teamwork and strategy to the world! But in the end, SOS Brigade went a step ahead to hit that devastating Super SOS Driver off the middle turnbuckle." Excalibur stated as the team walked out on the entranceway.

"Indeed, it was all a matter of who hits their finish first but let's give credit to Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo, who just went crazy with their athleticism and agility," Corey added, complimenting the other team, who just got back up to their feet and realizing that their match was over. The crowd began to cheer them as soon as they looked at their fans and begins to stand up properly and bowed to the fans from every angle.

"A sign of respect was given to Class 1-A albeit getting lost to the match and as the tournament progresses, we will see later tonight who will be facing SOS Brigade in the finals at the main event here in Tag Team Turbulence!" Shun exclaimed. "But for now, let's get the shot at the backstage area where our correspondent, Ristarte, is standing by."

Backstage Area

"Hey, everyone! What a special night for the tag team and right now, I'm here with Sakuta Azusagawa." Ristarte introduced the nonchalant guest, earning boos in the background. "So, uh, how's it going with you right now?"

"What kind of question is that? I feel great, I feel the best, and I feel unstoppable! Right after I beat that nobody last week and then showed my gratitude to everyone, especially, Mai Sakurajima, I am in the best mood right now and as long as she shows no love from me, I'm going to make her change her perspective about me." Sakuta enthusiastically answered the question.

"And what if nothing happens?"

Sakuta sneered and was looking at Rista, who looked uncomfortable looking at him.

"Then I'm going to change directions… and I'm looking at you," Sakuta smirked at her, causing her to be frightened.

"Hey, you…"

A new voice baffled both Sakuta and Rista when they looked on the other side, the camera focused on Seiya, which, Rista squealed and instantly embraces him. Meanwhile, Sakuta looked unimpressed at Seiya.

"You're looking for me?" Sakuta asked.

"It's either her or you, but I just said the second a few seconds ago. So, it's you I'm talking about." Seiya bluntly answered.

Sakuta steps forward towards Seiya, which, Rista shrieked and felt that the tension was rising, she walked out of focus as both men were staring at each other, eye-to-eye.

"Lay a hand on her or I'll lay a hand over you." Seiya threatens Sakuta, who responded with a wide and sinister chuckle.

"So, you do care about her?" Sakuta paused and looks behind Seiya then looks back at him. "Well, I don't care if you're lovers or not, as long I'm finished with Sakurajima, I'll be taking your lady soon."

Sakuta then walks out of backstage, leaving Seiya disturbed by the statement that he put out, and goes on to the other side to find Rista with the camera focusing back to the commentary crew.

Disclaimer: This next match might contain a controversial decision that may be unsuitable to your liking. If you don't want to read this part, just end it here and skip to the next segment on the nearest bottom of this chapter.

"Okay, now I'm getting concerned about the security of our crews here, especially the ladies. First, Sakurajima-san then Ristarte-san? Sakuta Azusagawa is a creepy man that needs a lesson to teach!" Shun exclaimed.

"Well, I don't know about that, we shall have news pertaining to this situation soon. But let's go back to the competition, shall we?" Corey requested that the topic should be dropped.

("Promenade" by Jim Johnston) was played in the arena as the crowd booed at the elegant appearance of the upcoming throne of Queen Malty Melromarc. From the entrance to the ringside that was covered with red carpet. With his two knights, they carry the throne with ease until they made it to the ringside floor, dropping the throne easily.

"This tag team match is scheduled for one fall with a 30-minute time limit, being accompanied by Queen Malty Melromarc - The Knights of the Monarchy!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the fans did not send love for the trio, who entered the ring with the knights extending their arms to show appreciation for Malty, who was in the middle of them.

"Well, this should be the final confrontation or I'll be damned if they persist on nagging around the people here to show support for them," Shun said as Malty left the ring to sit on her throne.

"With the stakes getting bigger, if The Knights of the Monarchy lose, Naofumi Iwatani will have his opportunity on the AVW World Championship in the future; otherwise, they'll grant services from Naofumi's team. So to be frank, it is a battle of pride and whoever loses, gets embarrassed in front of the fans here in Jacksonville." Excalibur said.

"I don't know but that last statement of yours, Excalibur, is immaterial at this point. With these stakes as high as this one, everyone involved has signed in the contract, so therefore, there's no shaming occurring here tonight." Corey replied to his colleague.

("RISE" by MADKID) played in the background as the boy with the shield appeared at the entrance, followed by Raphtalia. With both of them kneeling down, they also both stood up and raised their arms in unison to produce the fireworks beside them.

"And their opponents, first, from the Lurolona Village, Melromarc, also being accompanied by 'The Shield Hero' Naofumi Iwatani -'The Tanuki Warrior' Raphtalia!" Mai Sakurajima announced as Raphtalia shook hands with the nearest fans while Naofumi stares down at his rival on her throne.

"The never-ending saga between Naofumi and Malty has reached a new level and the stakes could've said it better, this should be a compelling one to watch since we're still waiting for the arrival of Raphtalia's tag team partner," Excalibur stated the reason for this match to occur.

"As much as he wants to let go of this rift between parties, Naofumi will have to deal with the antics of the Queen as much as she wants to end it; if she gives up, then all will be fine. But giving them a choice to pick a partner as long as it's not the Shield Hero, is a big advantage!" Corey added as both Raphtalia and Naofumi stopped by the ramp as they met their foes while waiting for their third individual to appear.

After a few seconds, an individual appeared, who turns out to be a young girl donning a white dress with small wings on her back, causing the audience to go quiet and question this appearance.

"Hey, there's a lost child in the arena, can someone get her?" Corey asked in concern.

"Corey, I-I don't think—"

"And her partner, Filo!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the crowd was in shock, and so is their opponents as the young child was skipping towards Naofumi and Raphtalia, who were smirking all this time.

"Whoa-ho-ho! It's Filo, a youngster and I think she is affiliated with these two if I can remember." Excalibur commented.

"I'm surprised that you even know the kid and why they're picking an innocent child to be their partner? Are you kidding?!" Corey said in bewilderment as the girls jumped onto the apron, wowing the fans.

"I'm shocked as you are, Corey. But let's remember Queen Malty let Naofumi decide on their partner and specifically told them he can choose anyone and hence, we got this." Excalibur replied as Raphtalia enters the ring, implying that she will begin the match while the blonde-haired knight enters as well.

"It's the Tanuki Warrior, Raphtalia, who will begin the match unsurprisingly, and hey, look we can distinguish those knights. I think I should call him 'Blondie'." Shun quipped as Excalibur barely couldn't contain his laughter.

"Do not disrespect the knights of our queen, you know it's a serious business when she's here!" Corey complained as the bell chimed as the two legal competitors in the ring while the crowd begin to chant Filo's name, much to her shock.

The two squared up in the middle as they locked up for a short few seconds until the knight wrings her arm which sends Raphtalia kneeling on one knee. With the pressure lightens up, Raphtalia took advantage as she rolls over and kips up to fake him with a few Headlock attempts only to trip the knight's foot with her feet then finally locks in the Headlock.

"Wow! That blonde knight expects that quickness from Raphtalia and takes her down with a Headlock." Excalibur said as the knight stood up and he went to the ropes, forcing Raphtalia to let go of the hold.

The knight sends Raphtalia to the other side of the ropes as the knight drops down while she leaps above him to bounce on the other side with the knight leaps above Raphtalia, who bounces again to the other side with the knight attempted a Hip Toss only to counter to her own, earning cheers from the crowd. Malty was in disbelief at seeing his men being thrown down while Naofumi reacted otherwise.

"Beautiful throw by Raphtalia, surely 'Queen Malty' did not expect this to be in their rival's favor from the start!" Shun exclaimed as Raphtalia and the knight, who just tag the knight with the brown-haired curly as his only feature to see, entered the ring. Meanwhile, the crowd wants Filo to make her presence known as Raphtalia toys with them and asks if they want to see her and shouted 'Yes' to her, bringing her to make the tag onto Filo, who leaped off of the apron to the canvas, sending the crowd into a frenzy with Raphtalia going back to their post.

"Here comes Filo! They wanted it, they got it! But the question is, will she be able to show her skill?" Excalibur asked as Filo was looking around the fans, who were cheering for the youngster.

"What in the hell is wrong with this crowd? That's a child in the ring, at her age, she couldn't possibly do what every wrestler can do!" Corey complained as Filo beckoned to the knight to go after her, causing the crowd to coo in anticipation.

The knight in question attempts to attack Filo, who went behind and locks his waist only for the knight to turn around to grab her but Filo slid underneath him, attempting a pin but his weight was too much for her as she bounces to the ropes and the knight attempts to decapitate her head with a Clothesline only for her to duck again and ricocheting to the other side of the ropes. Filo sends herself to the knight and played around his body in a roundabout motion when she uses her feet to spin him until she lands a Headscissors, sending the knight outside in retreat, much to the shock of The Monarchy. The crowd was heavily behind the angelic girl.

"I can hear the crowd revering for the newly-arrived Filo and this is not what we're expecting for Naofumi's team tonight!" Shun exclaimed as the knight pounded the mat in frustration as his fellow knight consults him on the outside.

Meanwhile, the knights were huddling, Filo decides to take things to the next level when she calls them out as she slingshots himself to the knights on the outside with a Pescado, sending the crowd into wild cheers and shouting expletives while Malty was not having this

"Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Filo with a Pescado, you've never seen it in your life, much less our imagination! A filolial who will become a future star!" Excalibur praises the girl, who just rose up from the floor, and sends the legal knight back inside. Filo then decides to pin him with an impressive Jackknife Pin.

The knight instantly kicks out, sending Filo flying for a few seconds, and lands on her back on the canvas, causing the crowd to go in awe.

"Did you see that velocity of the kickout? That was amazing!" Corey complimented on the way that the knight kicked out.

The landing on the back did not deter Filo and went to the corner to tag Raphtalia, earning earnest reception from the crowd. Before Filo could go back to the corner, she climbs up to the top, in which Raphtalia carried her on her shoulders as the crowd stood up to see the highlight reel. Filo dives off the shoulders of Raphtalia to hit a Diving Splash to the chest of the knight, sending the crowd in awe once more with Raphtalia covering the knight with a leg hooked.

The knight kicks out as Malty used the current time to stand up on the apron to shout at Raphtalia, who looks back and confronts her to the jeers of the crowd.

"Now what is that witch doing on the apron?" Shun complained as when Raphtalia rolled back and tries to pick up the knight, the latter surprised the girl with a Small Package Pin.

Raphtalia kicks out immediately as the knight surprises him again this time with an eye poke that sends the crowd booing them.

"She saves her kingdom and the prestige of it, Kaido. That's what she did!" Corey exclaimed as the referee warns the knight in question, who tags the blonde knight. Naofumi decides to complain on the apron but the referee admonishes him to back down only for the knights to take advantage when they squeeze their foot to the face of Raphtalia in the corner before Naofumi and the referee separates themselves as the illegal knight went back to their post, much to the dismay of the crowd. "Amazing timing by the knights using Naofumi's whining to take advantage to ground Raphtalia. And look, the queen loves it!"

The blonde knight takes her down with a Headlock Takeover and grounds the tanuki warrior as Filo was looking at her partner in concern and she decides to rally up the crowd, sending support to the struggling girl.

"Headlock Takedown stuns the momentum of Naofumi's team and Filo is hyping up the crowd and for Raphtalia. Can this help them change the tide on their side?" Excalibur asked as Raphtalia begins to stand up slowly as she tries to tag Filo but was too far from her.

Instead of breaking the hold on the ropes, Raphtalia clubs the side of the knight a few times until he forces himself to let go because of the pain. The knight sights Raphtalia and went to attack her only for her to sidestep, almost colliding with his partner but Raphtalia dropkicks the back of the legal knight accidentally spilling his partner to the outside, followed by a Backstabber, sending both of them down in the canvas as the crowd begins to shout Filo's name again.

"Backstabber by Raphtalia, can she make it to their corner to tag Filo?" Excalibur asked as Raphtalia is now on the verge of tagging out, the other knight entered himself as he tags his blonde partner out and grabs the leg of Raphtalia, only for her to counter with an Enzuigiri to the side of the face of the knight, who got staggered in the middle of the ring with the crowd's reaction becomes stronger.

Raphtalia leaps and tags Filo in, garnering a wild reaction from the audience as she enters through the middle rope as she slides underneath the legal knight to dropkick the fallen knight on the apron, dropping him to the floor. She focuses back on the brown-haired knight and sends herself to him in a Cazadora position and flips herself underneath to hit a Wheelbarrow Facebuster to a great reception from the fans.

"Filo is on a roll here at Tag Team Turbulence! Hitting with such flawless precision and I say that she's on a level that is the same as everyone here!" Excalibur praises Filo again, who bounces to the ropes when he saw the knight standing up to step up on his back to hit a Scorpio Rising Kick as she went for the cover, hooking the leg.

The other knight appeared in the ring to break the count by smashing the back of Filo, who saw it in time as he inadvertently hit his partner instead, causing him to apologize to him.

"Oh, no! He hit his own partner and I-I can't believe what I'm seeing right now!" Corey admitted as Raphtalia enters to hit the other knight with a Clothesline, sending him down on the canvas.

Once both knights are down, the girls noticed this as Filo gestured to use her hand as she nodded and extends her arm to open her palms for Filo to climb on her hands, ultimately landing an Assisted Moonsault on both knights to a wild reaction with Filo covering the legal knight.

The knight kicked out in time as Filo quickly climbs up to the top while Raphtalia went back to the corner to tag himself in. But Malty, once again, steps up on the apron to distract Filo from the boos of the crowd. Because of how fired up she is, Filo decides to dive from the top to Malty, sending them both onto the throne in the process, causing for the fans to shout expletives loudly and for Naofumi and Raphtalia to leave their mouths open in shock.

"Holy Throne! Just got smashed by Filo with a leap! She's nuts!" Shun shouted from the microphone as Naofumi was looking at Filo and asking if she was okay and only turns out she escapes the rubble and went back to the apron. "Wow, what kind of guts does this kid have?!"

"She just took out the queen, the audacity of this whippersnapper to take her out is ridiculous!" Corey added as while Raphtalia got distracted, the legal knight sneaks in a roll-up to pin her.

Raphtalia kicks out however, she instantly felt that she could not move as the other knight held her hostage while handling her shoulders.

The legal knight attempts to hit on Raphtalia's face only for her to escape and hits his partner's face instead, causing him to apologize to him again. But when he looks back, Raphtalia wows everyone when he lifts both men ala John Cena.

"Oh, the power, the strength of Raphtalia is in full display! How incredible!" Excalibur exclaimed as Raphtalia hits a Double Death Valley Driver, sandwiching the knights in the canvas in the process, and proceeds to tag Filo, who climbs up to the top, facing the crowd, who were elated for her. "Filo's on top again, what does she have in store now?"

To baffle everyone was an understatement because Filo leaped off the top to hit a Filolial Splash (Phoenix Splash) on the legal knight that sends everyone into frenzy mode.

"Whoooaaaa! Phoenix Splash by Filo! Incredible! And she goes for the hook of the leg..." Excalibur said as Filo grabs the leg of the knight for the referee to count.

The bell rang in succession as the music began to play for the victors, who were jumping in celebration as their opponents rolls out of the ring and this made Naofumi enter the ring to congratulate them.

"Here are your winners, Raphtalia and Filo!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the referee raised the arms of the women while Naofumi was looking at them like a proud trainer.

"Unbelievable! What a debut for Raphtalia and especially for Filo, who just send the crowd into a high level of joy!" Excalibur exclaimed as Naofumi embraces the two for their success.

"I can't believe that I'm saying this but my god, what a performance by both women, and as for Filo, man, she has the brightest future imaginable in the business!" Corey said as The Monarchy's defeated face was shown with Malty looking at her damaged throne and to the current situation as she realizes that they lost again and begins to throw tantrums at her knights, pounding the rubble in frustration, causing them to walk out and the fans nearby told them to get out. "Look at their face, it's so sad to see after what she gave in on the negotiation initially."

The crowd begins to stand not for Filo but for the sudden arrival of the General Manager Kokomi Teruhashi, who was holding a paperclip in her hand to the coos of the fans.

"Speaking of which, she's here and she's holding onto something. What this tells you, guys?" Shun asked his fellow commentators as the GM enters the ring through the bottom rope and requests a microphone from the timekeeper as she picked up the device and requested for the music to stop as if she has something to say.

"We're not sure but we're all ears for her anyway," Corey said.

"Is everybody having a good time?" She asks the crowd, and they shouted 'Yes' cheerfully to the liking of the sole authority. "Alright, let's address the elephant in the room here… so, the negotiation points out that Mr. Naofumi Iwatani can choose anyone, right? So, he decided to pick a young kid, whom I think was an innocent individual and right after this match, I believed he made himself a future star in his hands. She was unbelievably well-trained for this environment and to add, she has the skills that every talent needs…"

"What is she saying is true though…" Shun muttered as the GM continues to speak.

"So… on behalf of AVW, I would like you to keep this to yourself…" She continued and passes the paperclip to Filo, who read while her partners-in-crime were looking, they were fully flabbergasted when they scan the paper with their eyes. "Ms. Filo, I would like you to welcome to Anime Valley Wrestling!"

The crowd erupted with cheers and 'Yes' chants as Filo took the pen from the hands of the GM and went on to sign her name, guided by Naofumi. She shows the contract to the camera that she indeed signed her name, indicating that she is official with the company.

"Unbelievable! Filo has been hired on the spot by our General Manager! This is great for her! Her future is in the good hands of this company!" Excalibur exclaimed as Filo raises herself in the turnbuckles, showing the contract to the jovial fans.

"My god, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was all just part of a dream and now if anyone can pinch me, it happened. Filo is officially part of AVW!" Corey added as she went to the other side to do the same thing earlier while the trio of Naofumi, Raphtalia, and the GM clapped for the filolial kid.

"Congratulations, Filo! You earned this opportunity! Welcome to AVW!" Shun added as the kid continue the same gesture as the camera focuses back to the backstage area, where Visha was standing by with some guests.

Backstage Area

"It is indeed a historic night here in AVW as we have just seen an actual signing of a new talent! But for now, let's welcome our guests, the NEW AVW Women's Tag Team Champions, Team Stratos!" Visha introduced the guests, causing for the fans to change their mood when they appeared on the camera with smiles on their faces. "Congratulations on your victory!"

Cecilia chuckled and answered with the mic from Visha. "Thanks. But don't call us guests, call us champions!" She raised the belt alongside Houki while the new girls were crossing their arms and nodding in agreement.

"You see we beat the insurmountable odds, against three other teams, we defeated them! We ruled! We are the champions… of the world!" Cecilia continued, smirking at Visha and to the camera to earn additional boos from them. "By letting our precious brain run its course, we have come to a great outline and that outline is to introduce to the world, the new, improved, and growing – Team Stratos!"

Houki then steals the microphone from Visha as she has something to say.

"Next week, we let the world know that we will stand in the ring to commemorate this monumental victory! Whether you like it or not, you are all cordially invited to our Worldwide Festivities!" Houki announced as she raised the belt one more time. "And on that night, we will fully introduce our new comrades, Laura Bodewig and Charlotte Dunois!"

The other two step up on Visha, who was visibly nervous by this interaction. Laura attempts to interact with her only for Charlotte to pull her in time and say to her that it's a waste of time to do it as Laura nods.

"But first, let's celebrate our victory in private! Cheerio, sayonara, au revoir, and Auf Wiedersehen!" Cecilia spoke the last words before they leave Visha alone with a share of laughter in the background, she catches the microphone and was visibly frightened by their presence.
