Anime Valley Wrestling Chapter 13: Elevation - Episode 7 - Part 2, a Wrestling + Cartoon X-overs Crossover fanfic

AVW Elevation: Episode 7 (March 8, 2022) [Part 2]

"A well-thought-out plan for Nagisa and Karma to lure out both Shinji Ikari and AVW World Champion Izuku Midoriya into their trap, how conniving and sneaky are they!?" Corey complimented the assassins.

"Surely, this has to be a mishap on the part of Ikari and Midoriya," Shun replied.

"But we do all know that Nagisa Shiota has been eyeing the AVW World Championship since last week and we'll just have to see if our GM will make any announcement regarding this. But we will have to wait and see." Excalibur stated.

("Zombie" by The Cranberries) played in the arena as the crowd went in cheerful mode as the arena went black to make way for a spotlight to shine over the rebellious individual, who stomps the floor to send the arena's light back up.

"The following women's match is scheduled for one fall with a 20-minute time limit. Introducing first, from New Tokyo City, Rei Ayanami!" Mai Sakurajima announced as Rei stoically make her way across the ramp to the ring without any fan interactions.

"A serious and well-prepared Rei Ayanami has been gearing up since last week after her victorious match against Ami Kawashima after the AVW Women's World Champion Rin Tohsaka issued a challenge for Rei Ayanami should she be victorious in this upcoming match against a mystery opponent of the champion's choosing, she will be added in the Women's World Title Match at Battle Chronicle," Excalibur stated the reason for the match to occur.

"I think she doesn't give any sort of care on who's facing her tonight and from the looks of her eyes, I think it's a given," Shun added as Rei was pulling the top rope for a quick exercise, waiting for her opponent.

("My Last Breath" by Evanescence) played next as the crowd was cheering for the champion, who appeared beside the Tron, raising the belt up high and stopping by to give way for the arrival of the mystery opponent of Ayanami.

The individual appeared, a blonde individual, who dons a school attire arriving with a serious but confident look while the champion applauded her as they walk through the ramp to meet the fans

"And her opponent, being accompanied by the AVW Women's World Champion Rin Tohsaka, Chitoge Kirisaki!" Mai Sakurajima announced the newbie opponent for Rei, who was stretching while waiting for the match to start.

"Indeed, a mystery to everyone but thanks to the Tohsaka, we have to share the background of her student, Chitoge Kirisaki!" Excalibur announced as both Rin and Chitoge stopped by the ringside area as they huddled up to give the latter one last encouraging message to the former, who nodded.

"Chitoge Kirisaki was born in the U.S.A. but was transferred to Japan after many years of living here. She is a father of a notorious gang known in Japan, but we decided not to disclose the name for security reasons. Tohsaka found Kirisaki somewhere downtown in an emotional conversation, Tohsaka saw something in her and she believes that she deserves to be taken care of by someone who respects her despite her sketchy background. And due to the background of Kirisaki, she is a well-talented and athletic individual and I believe that led to Tohsaka mentoring her and being chosen by her." Excalibur explained the roots of the newcomer, who entered the ring and met Tohsaka and offered a hand to Ayanami, who was staring at her hand.

"It sure sounds sensible and credible for the résumé of the new blood, Chitoge Kirisaki, and she is here inside the ring to face her first challenge and also the biggest challenge," Corey said as the referee rang the bell but Rei snobs the hand offered by Chitoge, who shook her head in disappointment.

The match started when both women tied up in the middle before Chitoge prevailed with a Waistlock, taking Rei down on the mat and lifting her up again to take her down for the second time, surprising Rei, who quickly escapes from the hold.

"And right off a minute, Kirisaki has been in the upper hand so far and you are right about her being athletic, this really surprised Ayanami in the process," Shun said in amazement as Rei rose up and met Chitoge again with a tie-up.

The tie-up ended abruptly when Chitoge turns the struggle into a Side Headlock as Rei quickly pulls herself to the ropes as Chitoge was sent bouncing to the ropes with Rei taking her down with a Shoulder Tackle. Rei then bounces to the ropes while Chitoge rolled on her belly with Rei hopped above her and went to the other side of the ropes. Meanwhile, Chitoge leapfrogs above a running Rei, who tries to surprise Chitoge but came to her trap when the newcomer lures Rei into an Arm Drag, followed by another and ended with a Dropkick, sending Rei reeling into the corner, sending awes from the crowd while Rin clapped at her student.

"Wow! Now this is unexpected, who didn't see this one? Rei is at a disadvantage here right from the get-go!" Corey exclaimed as Chitoge sights Rei on the corner as she runs towards Rei and hits a Corner Body Avalanche, sandwiching Rei in the corner.

Chitoge then follows up with several Knife Edge Chops over the chest of Rei, who suddenly fights back with a few punches to the face of Chitoge; however, Chitoge dominated with a single hard shot to the jaw, knocking out Rei on her knees.

"Good grief! One single punch was enough to send Rei in a loopy sight!" Shun exclaimed as Chitoge picks up Rei and lifts her body up, flexing her strength while Rin outside was nodding and approving the performance of Chitoge, who drops Rei on the mat with a Gorilla Press Slam, followed up by a Standing Moonsault and proceeds to pin Rei.

Rei kicks out as she clutches her gut in pain while Chitoge took a breather on the ropes.

"So far, this has been a one-sided affair with the newcomer Chitoge Kirisaki, taking charge over Rei Ayanami! And we haven't seen a comeback from her!" Excalibur exclaimed as Chitoge sees Rei on the corner and makes an attempt for another Corner Body Avalanche only for Rei to sidestep as Chitoge hits her face on the turnbuckles.

Rei took advantage of the situation as she grabs the waist of Chitoge and hits a German Suplex, followed by another German Suplex and a third German Suplex, bridging Chitoge into a pin.

Chitoge kicks out momentarily while Rei was looking at Rin, especially at the belt.

"And Rei is looking outside towards Rin or maybe, the title belt on her shoulder but she has to keep her eye on the match," Excalibur said as Chitoge surprises a distracted Rei with a Schoolgirl pin.

Chitoge surprises everyone when she deadlifts Rei, attempting for a Buckle Bomb but the latter fights back with a few punches to the face, forcing Chitoge to let go and nurse her face.

Rei took her time to breathe calmly and went on to attack Chitoge with several chops and punches over her body to the cheers of the crowd. Rei then whips Chitoge, who reverses the Irish Whip as Rei sends her to the ropes and Chitoge explodes with a huge Lariat, turning Rei inside out.

"Huge Lariat by Kirisaki and she might be on the verge of an upset victory here!" Excalibur said as Chitoge went for the pin, hooking a leg of Rei.

Rei rises her shoulder in time, causing Chitoge to be upset but Rin shouted at her 'to keep her composure cool'.

"The Women's Champion sending a tip to her student about keeping her cool," Shun said as Chitoge picks up a dazed Rei, clubbing the back of Rei and sees her opponent is unable to fight back, sending the crowd into jeering mode.

Chitoge grabs Rei, hoisting her up sends her body behind her back, attempting for a Gory Bomb but Rei shockingly escapes the hold and counters it with a Code Red with both women down while the crowd cheers and they began shouting Rei's name.

"And the counter from the Gory Bomb might be the chance Rei needed to change the course of the match!" Excalibur exclaimed as both women stood up slowly and saw each other, taking out one another with punches to their faces while the crowd was cheering and booing accordingly. After the third punch of Rei, Chitoge kicks the gut of Rei, causing the crowd to boo the newbie.

Chitoge then whips Rei to the ropes as the former went for a Clothesline but the latter ducked and fires back with a Clothesline of her own, followed by another and grabs the arm of Chitoge to hit a Short Arm Clothesline. While Chitoge was getting back on her feet, Rei then bounces to the ropes to hit a hard-hitting PK on Chitoge, then follows up with a Standing Moonsault by Rei, and immediately went for a cover in a Lateral Press.

Chitoge kicks out immediately as Rei was all fired up and shouted at the fans, who were cheering for her while Rin was glaring at Rei.

"Rei Ayanami is back in the fold with multiple offenses but that's not enough to take out Rin's apprentice!" Corey exclaimed as Rin slowly begins to climb up to the top but Chitoge wisely rolls to the outside, much to the chagrin of the fans.

"And Kirisaki might have known that Rei is on the top or it was an instinct, either way, it's a clever move from the part of her," Shun said, clearly impressed by the intelligence of the newcomer.

Meanwhile, Rei did not go down as she saw Chitoge nearby the timekeeper's area as Rei threw herself to the outside and hits a Crossbody on Chitoge, sending themselves crashing on the table, causing the fans to wildly shout and chant 'Holy Shit!' continuously.

"Whoa! Rei says 'she won't be outsmarted' by a newbie and casts a dive to the outside through the timekeeper's table!" Excalibur exclaimed as the camera showed Rin's face of concern, shouting at Chitoge to show signs of consciousness.

"And they are right, Sacramento saw the amazing dive by Ayanami, and their reactions speak to us too!" Shun added as the referee begins to count both women, who begin to move on their own.

"The countdown begins and anybody's game here! One could go home losing and one can go to Philadelphia as the second challenger for the AVW Women's World Champion!" Corey said as both women began to stand up in a groggy state and then proceeds to batter out with each other while the count is running to the elation of the fans.

The countdown was on 6 as both women took each other with a few punches to the face right before they could enter back inside simultaneously, causing the fans to cheer on.

"And the fans are elated to see the match continuing while these two are throwing their best shots at one another but who can fire a big offense?" Excalibur asked as both women stood up again with the help of the ropes.

After almost a minute of respite, Chitoge took the initiative to attack Rei on the corner but the latter raises her boot to knock the former's face. Rei then kicks Chitoge to the gut and hooks both of her arms to perform Angel's Wings (Double Underhook Facebuster) but Chitoge counters it with a Back Body Drop only for Rei to stand on her feet. Rei makes a run towards Chitoge, who launches Rei in the air to hit a Pop-Up Knee Strike, striking the jaw of her opponent. Rin told Chitoge to finish it off as she nodded and grabs Rei's arms from behind and lifts her up to hit Kirisaki Special (Gory Special into Knee Strike), knocking Rei on the mat and following it up when she rolls Rei on her belly to roll her up in a Seatbelt Pin.

Rei kicks out, much to the shock of both Chitoge and Rin, while the crowd were continuing cheering for Rei while chanting 'This is Awesome!'

"Unbelievable! Rei Ayanami survives the knock-out blow and I don't even know if she knows she's in Sacramento." Corey said as Chitoge quickly picks up Rei, attempting for a second Kirisaki Special (Gory Special into Knee Strike).

The attempt failed when Rei surprises everyone when she ducks the knee from Chitoge and hits a Superkick to Chitoge, followed up by hooking both of her arms to hit Angel's Wings (Double Underhook Facebuster) to the cheers of the crowd while Rin was looking at her student in concern as Rei was glaring at the champion.

"Angel's Wings has been busted out by Rei but she should make the cover and I think she is looking to the champion…" Excalibur said as Rei grabs Chitoge's head and wraps herself around Chitoge's body with an Asuka Lock, sending Chitoge squirming for the nearest rope. "…That's the Asuka Lock, one of the key moves on Asuka's set, and her eyes are glued to Tohsaka, who surely didn't forget what happened to her at her title match against Asuka, almost a month ago!"

The submission was tightly held by Rei and this caused Chitoge to slowly fall on the mat until her hands stopped moving, the referee looked over Chitoge, who became unresponsive for a few seconds until the referee decides to ring the bell, stopping the match immediately as Rei's music was played.

"Here's your winner by submission, Rei Ayanami!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the crowd was cheering; however, Rei is still locking on that submission with the referee scolding her and telling her to let go of her opponent.

"The match is over and Ayanami is still boarding over Chitoge's body and doesn't want to let it go!" Shun exclaimed as Rei was persistent on keeping the hold intact until Rin enters the ring to attempt on releasing Chitoge from the submission. Rin finally pulls Rei out of Chitoge's back and confronts her for carrying away.

Rin told Rei to knock it off and she got what she wanted, raising the belt in front of her as the crowd began to boo when both Asuka Langley Soryu and Ami Kawashima entered and attacked both women from behind.

"Oh! It's Asuka and Ami, attacking from behind!" Excalibur exclaimed as Asuka kicks Rei's face hard with a Big Boot while Ami took over Rin with multiple punches until they reached the corner as Ami hits an STO on Rin, sending her outside while she kicks Chitoge outside.

"These two somehow device a plan and they plan it out perfectly and both Ayanami and Tohsaka are unguarded and defenseless!" Corey added as Asuka plants Rei with a Spinebuster, sending the crowd into jeers.

Asuka crawl over Rei and shouted at her for mocking her and she has to pay for her offense. Asuka then took a few steps backward and saw Rei attempt to stand, only for Asuka to run over her and hit The Second Coming (Curb Stomp), causing for the fans to boo Asuka while Ami was pleased by the actions of her partner as she decides to pick up the championship belt on the mat and gave it to Asuka.

"Ami Kawashima is giving the title belt over to who she thinks the more deserving in Asuka!" Excalibur said as Asuka accepts the belt and snags it from Ami's grasp, raising it proudly like she is the reigning champion while the crowd shows no love for Asuka and Ami.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this could be the possible outcome for the AVW Women's World Championship, which is now a three-way match with the addition of Rei Ayanami!" Corey announced as soon as Asuka was raising the belt, Ami took a sharp glance from the belt to Asuka, staring at her heavily, causing the fans to coo in interest. "What in the world… are we seeing it on the other side as well?!"

"Oh, boy! That gaze isn't just a normal stare but it is quite something else…" Shun said as Asuka saw Ami staring at her and was confused at her for staring at her. Ami chuckled and embraces Asuka tightly, while they were embracing Ami was still looking at the championship belt on the shoulder of Asuka. "She is not taking her eyes off the belt!"

"This is certainly what we didn't expect for tonight, but this is getting interesting!" Excalibur exclaimed as the embrace was broken up as both Ami and Asuka exited the ring, leaving the tree lying unconscious in the ring and on the outside. "At Battle Chronicle, the match for the AVW Women's World Championship became a three-way after Rei Ayanami punched her ticket after defeating Chitoge Kirisaki, who put up a good showing on her debut despite the loss!"

Backstage Area

"So far, we have seen an adjustment for the Women's Championship at Battle Chronicle. And speaking of the women's championship, please welcome, Kill la Familia's Ryuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuin!" Chika Fujiwara began to speak, introducing the guests, who appeared beside her to a great reception in the background. "Well, after what we saw earlier, both of you and The Mage Sisters are once again associated with one another. Do you think that this partnership could go long?"

"Hahaha! Easy question, Ms. Fujiwara. Of course, me and my sister, Sistine, and Rumia are backing up one another and our respect for them just grew after a grueling battle! Sure, the outcome is not surprising but evening the odds against the Women's Tag Team Champions surely would be their downfall!" Ryuko answered.

"And you just mentioned the Women's Tag Team Champions, I do remember that you two challenged Team Stratos for the tag team titles and is there a possibility of it happening? Could you make that happen?" Chika asked another question but this time Satsuki grabs the microphone hard, causing Chika to recoil in fear.

"You know, those four idiots, which is way worse than 3 Idiots, can utilize their underhanded and cheap tactics but when you will face us, there's no going back and you will feel an environment that you have no idea what it feels like to be in! Team Stratos, we're challenging you for the AVW Women's Tag Team Championship at Battle Chronicle… us, Satsuki Kiryuin, and Ryuko Matoi versus any two of you… in a STREET FIGHT!" Satsuki offer a challenge to the champions, causing for the fans to be wowed and elated at the announcement.

Satsuki ended the statement by giving the microphone back to a scared Chika.

"Okay then… there's the challenge! Will they accept it or not?" Chika asked but before the interview could end, from out of nowhere, Satsuki got tackled by someone, sending herself and the attacker behind the curtains while Ryuko was surrounded by the members of Team Stratos, Cecilia Alcott, and Charlotte Dunois and pummels Ryuko, who tries to fight back but the numbers were too much for her, sending the crowd into a sour mood. Chika then flee off the scene as soon as they attacked the interviewees.

But not before both Rumia Tingel and Sistine Fibel came to Ryuko's aid and attacked both Cecilia and Charlotte to the cheers of the crowd. However, a loud scream roared the area as Laura Bodewig appeared from behind The Mage Sister and whacks both of them with a steel chair on their back, sending them down on the floors but Laura continues to attack both.

Ryuko attempts to fight off Laura but was stopped by a hard right hand by Houki, who turns out to be the one who tackled Satsuki to the ground, a few minutes ago. Laura then focuses her attention on Ryuko and Satsuki and hits them with a shot from the steel chair, earning loud boos in the background.

After a minute, Charlotte told Laura to stop and drops the chair to oblige. Both Cecilia and Laura raised the belts in the air, in front of the downed quartet.

"Hey, guess what…" Cecilia knelt over Ryuko and Satsuki to their level and confidently called them out. "We accept the challenge and by the way, we just already showed you what we are capable of! And you thought a Street Fight won't favor us? Ha! Over our dead bodies!"

With that, Cecilia put a foot over Ryuko's head and raised the belt with Laura while the others raised their fists in the air as the crowd were continuing to boo them.

"Looks like the challenge has been set for Battle Chronicle – AVW Women's Tag Team Champions Team Stratos versus Kill la Familia in a Street Fight!" Excalibur reiterated the announcement.

"From the looks of it, it's gonna be an all-out war when those teams collide at the event! I guarantee you that!" Shun exclaimed.

("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 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. However, Darkness was currently donning a long black cloak, covering her attire and this made Megumin question her choices while walking through the ramp.

"This women's tag team match is scheduled for one fall, with a time limit of 15 minutes. Introducing first, from the city of Axel, the team of Megumin and Darkness – Fire and Darkness!" Mai Sakurajima announced as Megumin was still staring at her for this unexpected quirk of hers while Darkness was elated at being sighted by Megumin.

"Well, I think Darkness is taking this exhibition match way too seriously, I mean, she's ready and Megumin is surely questioning this change from her," Corey said as they entered the ring while Megumin could not stop glancing at her.

"I'm not sure about that assumption, Corey, but I was thinking of someone else," Shun replied.

"Oh, I was thinking something more of a chaste approach, Kaido. I bet you would think of something stronger than that." Corey retorted, leaving Shun with zero comments. "Then I rest my case."

"Unfortunately, for Darkness, this isn't the exhibition that she is expecting as she and Megumin are taking on one of the rising teams in the division here in AVW!" Excalibur stated as Darkness was all ready while Megumin was starting to ask her questions but the woman in question completely ignores her.

("Prizefighter" by Blame My Youth) was played in the background next where the crowd changed their reaction when the newest team arrived from the entranceway, where they raised their fists and crossed their arms, covering their faces and roaring competitively as the smaller one hops to the back of her larger partner.

"And their opponents, from the Lurolona Village, Melromarc, the team of 'The Tanuki Warrior' Raphtalia and Filo!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the duo grabbed the hands of the fans, who were rooting for them while Megumin shouted at them to 'come inside the ring'.

"Raphtalia and the new signee, Filo, have certainly made shockwaves since their winning their first match, two weeks ago! After dominating, Filo and Raphtalia look to gain more momentum towards a possible AVW Women's Tag Team Championship match." Excalibur informed their momentum so far as they entered inside.

"Even if that was as impressive as it is, they need to actually show what they are capable of as a team and to prove that their last match wasn't just a fluke, so who better to prove it to one of the former contenders to the Women's Tag Team Championship," Corey said with doubt as Raphtalia and Darkness take the stage to begin the match.

"An appropriate to start the match with these two muscles of their respective teams, who can show who's the better woman in the contest, let alone the best team," Shun added as both Raphtalia and Darkness stared at one another and the referee signals this as the start of the match when he signals the timekeeper to ring the bell.

The women began when Darkness throws out the cloak over Raphtalia, causing the people to jeer at the tactic thrown by the masochistic warrior, and decks out Raphtalia into the corner while the referee scolds Darkness for her actions.

"Just when we thought she was going to be showing her real tendencies turns out she really showing her cunning side, pretty ingenious coming from Darkness!" Corey applauded the tactic of Darkness, who held her hand but Raphtalia fires back with her own punches, sending Darkness to the other corner and Raphtalia follows up with a hard Knife Edge Chops, causing Darkness to moan improperly, uncomfortably distressing Raphtalia for a while as she chops her again to gain another moan.

"What you were saying about showing her real tendencies?" Shun asked Corey with an unamused tone.

Because of the moans, Raphtalia got distracted and causes Darkness to switch positions with her as Darkness went for a chop, hitting Raphtalia on the chest, making. Darkness embraces Raphtalia, attempting for an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex but Raphtalia lands on her feet. Raphtalia hits a Dropkick on the back, sending Darkness' face to the turnbuckles, staggering her off the corner. The crowd cheered when Raphtalia tags Filo in.

"And here comes Filo, who just came off into a boom since her debut and the energy from this kid is still unbelievable!" Excalibur said as Filo sends herself on Darkness and sends her for a ride and takes Darkness down with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, sending the crowd into elation.

"Beautiful takedown by Filo and just like her first match, her athleticism is showing here!" Shun complimented Filo, who hits another Dropkick to Darkness, sending her to her team's corner with Darkness tagging Megumin, surprising the fire wizard. Darkness rolls to the outside to aid herself.

"And Megumin is in and I think this isn't what they are expecting from Raphtalia and especially, Filo!" Excalibur exclaimed as Megumin enters the ring to see Filo beckoning her to come at her.

Megumin makes a run over Filo, who went crawling under her as Filo hits a Basement Dropkick on Darkness, who was on the outside. When Filo turns back, Megumin was attempting to behead her with a Clothesline but Filo ducks under as she bounces to the ropes. Filo then sends herself on Megumin in the Cazadora position and flips herself under to hit a Wheelbarrow Facebuster to a great reception from the fans.

"Wow! Filo feels like a natural in the ring with these flashy moves, my God!" Corey exclaimed as Filo tagged Raphtalia, causing for the fans to cheer. "And here comes the tag by Filo to Raphtalia, and surprisingly, this is only a one-sided onslaught by the new team!"

Raphtalia lifts Filo on her shoulder in an Electric Chair position as Raphtalia drops Filo onto Megumin with an Elevated Splash tag team maneuver as Raphtalia went for a cover.

Darkness breaks the cover when she decks Raphtalia's back with a Double Axe Handle, causing the crowd to boo her as she grabs Raphtalia to give her a few uppercuts until she could not respond.

"Darkness with a great pin break and this match ain't going to be quicker," Shun said as Darkness looks to the outside as she was thinking of something dire as she kicks Raphtalia's gut and slings her arm to attempt a Vertical Suplex to the outside.

However, Raphtalia blocked the attempt with the use of her whole weight as Darkness attempts to lift her up again but Raphtalia shoots the gut of Darkness a few times to stop the attempt. Raphtalia then switches positions as Raphtalia easily picks up Darkness and hits a Vertical Suplex, both women went down outside by the fall, sending awes to the crowd.

"Huge suplex sends both Darkness and Raphtalia to the outside! But nasty landing for both though!" Excalibur said as Filo was watching the whole action, she did not notice Megumin standing up on her own as she surprises Filo with a roll-up for a pin.

Filo kicks out in time as she attempts to kick Megumin, who ducks immediately as she gave her a Big Boot to the face of Filo, sending her down to the canvas and causing the fans to boo her, making the fire wizard smirk.

"Big time boot by Megumin, she knows she's not going to be overwhelmed by Filo!" Corey said assuringly as Megumin removes her knee pad and went bouncing to the ropes as she hits a Shining Wizard to the face of Filo and went for the cover with a leg hooked.

Filo's shoulder was up, causing for the crowd to cheer, and went on to cheer Filo's name while Megumin was in shock, could not believe that Filo was still up.

"Wow! I mean, that's the first time I have seen Filo take offense from somebody and she manages to raise her shoulder up. Impressive!" Corey said in amazement as Megumin as she knelt on Filo's level to grab her head and shouts at her to 'stay down and that their victory is just a fluke'.

"And Megumin trying to make Filo pay for not staying down with her fiery words, no pun intended!" Shun quipped as Megumin looks at the turnbuckles as she smirked, and proceeds to make her way to climb up to the top turnbuckle, taking her time to taunt the crowd. Megumin then shakes her hips like Eddie Guerrero, causing the fans to boo her loudly for disrespecting the great legend.

Megumin dives off the top with a Frog Splash but somehow, Filo manages to roll out of the way, causing Megumin to splat on the mat, sending her stomach in pain. Meanwhile, Filo began to stand up and sees Megumin in pain and kneeling as she runs to her and steps up on her knee to hit a Scorpio Rising Kick to the head of Megumin, earning cheers from the crowd.

"There it is! The kick to the back of the head and this could only mean one thing, guys!" Shun excitedly said as Filo took her turn to climb up to the top turnbuckles. As for her climb, Darkness attempts to hinder the plans but before she could climb up to the apron, Raphtalia suddenly hits her with a Backstabber, causing for Darkness' back to crack, sending Darkness in pain to the cheers of the crowd.

Filo then took her time to look into the pro-Filo crowd as she flawlessly hits a Filolial Splash (Phoenix Splash) off the top of Megumin to make the cover.

The bell rang in succession as the crowd were continuing cheering with Raphtalia entering the ring to embrace Filo for another victory.

"Here are your winners, Raphtalia and Filo!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the referee raised the arms of the women as they hugged each other again.

"An easy and impressive victory by both Raphtalia and Filo! And this shows that their debut contest wasn't just a fluke as they have just defeated a prominent tag team!" Excalibur stated as both women roll outside to celebrate with the fans on the barricade.

"As much as I hate to admit it, that was a beauty of a Phoenix Splash by Filo for someone at her size." Corey complimented Filo.

"And with this victory, what will be the follow-up for both Raphtalia and Filo and is there a possibility for both to have a shot at AVW Women's Tag Team Championships?" Shun asked as the camera transitions to the backstage area, where Visha is standing by, waiting for the arrival of her guests.

Backstage Area

"Congratulations to the team of Raphtalia and Filo for an impressive victory tonight! And speaking of teams, I'll introduce my guests at this time, the team of Tanjiro Kamado and Zenitsu Agatsuma with Inosuke – The Head Hunters!" Visha announced the guests, in which they appeared as soon as Visha turns around to face them, earning cheers in the background. "So, the 3-way tag team match is up next, how are you feeling right now?"

Inosuke then grabs the microphone from Visha to face the camera.

"Yeah! We were 100% before but since Teruhashi-san announced us in this match and this was also for an opportunity for the AVW World Tag Team Championships, we are up by another 100%! That's 200%!" Inosuke shouted as he gave back the microphone to Visha.

"So, anything to say before the main event starts?" Visha asks one more time and this time, Tanjiro grabs the microphone to speak.

"If anything else, those two teams have animosity, so isn't it quite obvious that they are forgotten that The Head Hunters are here to make them remember us!" Tanjiro shouted and continued. "And tonight, we will be taking the opportunity to face the champions at Battle Chronicle!

Tanjiro then grabs the microphone to send it back to Visha as they howled and shouted 'Let's go!' before they could walk out of Visha.

"Tanjiro and Zenitsu are clearly ready for their match, which will be coming up in a few moments," Shun said.

"But before we could get to the main event, let's have a preview of what's to come for Elevation next week!" Excalibur began to speak the glimpse of the next week's episode. "Next week in Elevation, it will be emanating to one of the hottest spots for wrestling fans, Chicago, Illinois! And we all know what happened earlier backstage when Mikoto Misaka confronts Kaname Chidori and wants a rematch with her at Battle Chronicle; however, their other halves Touma Kamijou and Sosuke Sagara will have their match next week!"

"The search for the next competitors for the AVW Infinity Championship Ladder Match isn't over yet as two more slots are still on the grabs but we don't have any clue on who's going to be in the qualifying match for next week. But we do know that it's going to happen in Chicago, no less!" Shun exclaimed. "And speaking of competitors, two of those who qualified, Rimuru Tempest and Genos will compete next week, in a contrasting clash of styles, who can gain such momentum toward Battle Chronicle?"

"Let's not forget but it is also official: Ochako Uraraka versus SOS Brigade's president Haruhi Suzumiya will collide in a No Holds Barred Match. I'm kinda worried that this match was announced a week prior and the preparation is definitely going to be hellish for Suzumiya and for Uraraka, it's definitely a moment that she waited for weeks after that fall from grace on the pilot episode." Corey continued. "And with the scene unfolding earlier, GM Kokomi Teruhashi has made the match for Ami Kawashima against the AVW Women's World Champion Rin Tohsaka in an Eliminator Match, should Kawashima wins, she will be added to the title match at Battle Chronicle!"

"What stakes that we have for next week! But also, just announced right now, Shinji Ikari will finally have a piece of revenge for Nagisa Shiota as these two men will compete next week! And the winner of this match will face the AVW World Champion Izuku Midoriya at Battle Chronicle!" Excalibur added.

"Wow! That card alone speaks to itself on why you should tune in for next week as we run towards Chicago, Illinois, next week! Could not wait for next week!" Corey said in excitement.

("New Rockers" by Jim Johnston) played in the background as the crowd was cheering for the arrival of Class 1-A's team, in which they nodded to each other and made a long sprint from the entrance to the bottom rope, which they smoothly slid in success.

"This three-way tag team match is set for one fall with a 30-minute time limit. Introducing first, the team of Shoto Todoroki & Katsuki Bakugo!" Mai Sakurajima announced the first team as they jumped at the middle rope to greet the lively fans before they could simultaneously backflip, landing them on the canvas, and causing for the audience to applaud their act.

"Of course, Corey, let's not forget these teams! They couldn't wait for that opportunity to be theirs as three teams will vie for a shot at Fire Force's AVW World Tag Team Championships!" Excalibur told Corey. "Aside from the interview from The Head Hunters, the other teams are also ready for this match to be set as we are waiting for the arrival of the other teams!"

("Falling Down" by Oasis) was played in the arena as the crowd booed when the trio of individuals came to the entrance ramp with Haruhi Suzumiya, leading the charge while the lights from the ramp were flashing at a hasty pace.

"Next, being accompanied by Haruhi Suzumiya, the team of Yato & Yukine – SOS Brigade!" Mai Sakurajima announced the second team, who walked across the ramp, ignoring the jeers from the crowd, and climbs up to the apron to pose menacingly to the camera while the crowd booed them in the background.

"Well, these two teams are certainly no strangers to one another with SOS Brigade prevailing in that classic tag team match back in Tag Team Turbulence! But can Todoroki and Bakugo even the score here with the brigade?" Shun asked as both Yato and Yukine entered the ring while Haruhi jumped off the apron with the said team staring at their rivals, who glared back.

"With the addition of another team, it certainly decreases the winning rate for each team involved but as long as there is a percentage, it is a possibility for Class 1-A to fire back over SOS Brigade but don't forget, we have a third team added to the mix!" Corey answered.

("Blood / Water" by grandson) begins to play in the arena as the fans were applauding for the arrival of the three warriors as the two of them knelt on the ramp while the third individual was standing behind them with the trio howled, punched their fists on the ramp, and raised them in the air.

"And lastly, being accompanied by Inosuke, the team of Zenitsu Agatsuma and Tanjiro Kamado – 'The Head Hunters!'" Mai Sakurajima announced the final team, who interacted with the fans.

"A new and improved team of Zenitsu and Tanjiro is clearly an upgrade, with Inosuke on their side, but will this newly refined duo outshine these two other teams?" Excalibur asked as the duo then enters the ring to climb up to separate turnbuckles and howled once more until they came back down to the mat to confront the other teams.

"Well, it definitely is an upgrade but with a wider field this time, unlike last week, it certainly adds up to the unpredictability nature of the match. But we'll see if they can get the momentum going after returning last week!" Corey answered as the three teams assembled on each other to see who was going to start the match.

"A three-way elimination tag team match to a single fall or submission, only two individuals from two teams can be legal inside, and with the addition of no disqualification nature, it certainly is a no-brainer that it is every team's game here," Excalibur stated the rules as SOS Brigade decides to back out and went to the apron while Shoto and Zenitsu will begin the match as the referee sees the decision as final, he then signals the timekeeper to ring the bell as it did.

The fans were cheering for both Class 1-A and The Head Hunters while Haruhi shouted at them that they should cheer for her team. Meanwhile, both Zenitsu and Shoto began with a tie-up. Both men let go of themselves quickly, avoiding getting victimized by each other, and went for another tie-up, only for them to release each other for a few seconds.

The third time was the charm when someone made a move from the third tie-up when Zenitsu went for a Side Headlock, yanking the head of Shoto, who went on his knees due to pressure. However, Shoto sends Zenitsu to the ropes while on the hold as the red-slash-white-haired man sends Zenitsu to the other side of the ropes, only for him to get knocked down by a Shoulder Block by Zenitsu.

Zenitsu catches Shoto's head and went for a Headlock Takeover but Shoto wraps Zenitsu's head with Headscissors, only for Zenitsu to kick out. Then, Shoto went also for a Headlock Takeover, and Zenitsu went for the Headscissors, leading Shoto to kick out. When both men stood up at the same time and went for the same idea of a fistfight, they stopped immediately when faced each other as the crowd was cheering for them.

"An evenly matched affair between Todoroki and Agatsuma with both of them exchanging Headlocks and Headscissors onto each other, they are looking at who's getting the first blood, figuratively," Corey said as both men circled around each other but before anyone can make a move, the crowd immediately booed when the referee sees Yato tagging in for Shoto, who got irritated by the surprise tag. "A blind tag by Yato for the brigade and Todoroki is irate even though it's normal for this kind of tag to happen."

"Zenitsu doesn't even care at this point about who's his dance partner in the ring as long as he got the upper hand," Shun observed Zenitsu's reaction to the blind tag. Yato tells Shoto to go back in the line as the latter did without any violent reactions but is clearly upset by this.

Both legal men went for a tie-up with Yato overpowering Zenitsu, pushing him to an empty corner and squeezing him hard as the referee warns Yato for not breaking the hold but Yato raised his hand, obliging the rule immediately.

Yato then went for a surprise punch only for Zenitsu to duck and chops the chest of Yato in the corner. Yato grabs the head of Zenitsu, sending him back to the corner, and attempts another offense over Zenitsu, who ducked again the upcoming attack as he chops the chest of Yato again. However, Yato had enough and grabs the head of a frisky Zenitsu and whips him hard back to the corner as Yato finally hits a Running European Uppercut onto the face of Zenitsu, earning boos from the crowd.

"Huge Uppercut by Yato and absolutely staggers Zenitsu off the corner," Excalibur said as Yato sees Zenitsu on wobbly legs as he went to the ropes and hits a Running Shoulder Block on Zenitsu, but did not realize the surprise tag Katsuki tags Yato out to the cheers of the crowd.

"There's another blind tag, this time by Bakugo, firing back with the same move not too long ago. Yato is not the legal man no more and Bakugo shoos him back in their corner like he is a dog!" Corey exclaimed as Katsuki continues to tell an upset Yato to go back while Haruhi protested for the blind tag, even though it is legal.

The assault on Zenitsu continues when Katsuki stomps the back of Zenitsu until he picks his head and sends him to the ropes to chop his chest. Katsuki went to whip Zenitsu to the other ropes but Zenitsu reverses with a whip of his own, sending Katsuki down with a Running Forearm Shot to the face by Zenitsu, sending Katsuki down. Zenitsu decides to make a tag from his partner as he pulls Katsuki to their corner and tags Tanjiro, to a wonderful reception. Both Head Hunters grabs Katsuki and then hits a Double Headbutt to the head of Katsuki before Zenitsu went back to the apron.

"There's the lethal headbutts by The Head Hunters that they are prominently utilizing every match!" Shun exclaimed as Tanjiro hits a European Uppercut to Katsuki, followed by a chop, sending Katsuki staggering into Tanjiro's corner.

Tanjiro tags Zenitsu immediately as the crowd were cheering again for the tag as Tanjiro whips Katsuki to the ropes and Zenitsu enters the ring with Tanjiro takes down Katsuki with a Drop Toe Hold, leading Zenitsu to bounce to the ropes as he hits a Running Senton Splash on the back of Katsuki to the cheers of the crowd.

However, before the match could continue, the referee noticed Zenitsu, clutching his back and screaming in agony with Zenitsu ultimately crawling for a pin attempt.

Katsuki kicks out as the pain was etched over Zenitsu's face, the concern begins to show over Tanjiro, who makes a tag from a supposed hurt Zenitsu.

"Whoa, whoa, I think Agatsuma's back must have been injured of some sort." Shun noticed as Tanjiro went over to Zenitsu outside and told him that his back is hurting badly. Because of this, one of the ringside crew went to Zenitsu and informed the crew that he is hurt until the medical staff appeared and went on to nurse Zenitsu as Tanjiro has no choice but to continue the match on his own.

"And the good thing is that there are some medical staffs in ringside to make a quick assessment of the impact of Zenitsu's injured back. It's either only a mild back pain or worse and both ways, Tanjiro will be in action alone." Corey said as the action continues when Katsuki gained the advantage over a few minutes of respite as he kicks the gut of Tanjiro and follows up with a chop to the chest.

Katsuki then whips Tanjiro towards their corner and Tanjiro's back crashed into the turnbuckles. Katsuki then fires up with a Running Corner Clothesline, followed up with another. He went for the third attempt but Tanjiro ducks out of the attack and off the corner; however, Katsuki leaps on Tanjiro to hit a Hurricanrana, causing for the fans to cheer as Katuski's momentum to roll when he spotted Tanjiro on the ropes to stand, only for Katsuki to take down Tanjiro with a Clothesline, sending Tanjiro outside.

"And the match continues to roll with Bakugo taking the lead and sending Tanjiro outside with a Clothesline!" Excalibur exclaimed as the camera shot over to the entrance ramp, where Zenitsu was currently limping and was assisted by the ringside medical staff, causes for the fans to be disappointed but they clapped for him nevertheless.

"Uh-oh, I think this has to be a serious issue over Zenitsu on his back, and as you can see that he was aided by our medical personnel out of the ringside." Corey seriously stated as Katsuki did not stop as he went to the ropes, attempting a Suicide Dive.

However, right as he bounces to the ropes, he was caught by a cheap forearm shot to the back by Yukine, causing the fans to boo him and tag himself from Katsuki while Haruhi applauded the sneaky tag; on the other hand, Shoto complaining about the unfairness of the brigade.

"Zenitsu has been sent to the back to get a further analysis of the damage on his back. While his partner, Tanjiro is outside alone." Shun said as Yukine hits a Throat Thrust, followed up by a hard punch on Katsuki, sending him down on the mat while Yukine continues the assault with multiple stomps, causing Bakugo to roll outside.

Meanwhile, on the outside, Yato jumped off the apron to go on Tanjiro, who just stood up and hits a punch to the face, staggering the loner individual of his team near the ring post. Inside, Yukine decks Shoto with a punch, sending the latter off the apron to the chorus of boos from the crowd as the former taunts the crowd momentarily.

Yato continues the mugging and attacks the back of Tanjiro and sends him to the barricade, gut-first until he grabs him and sends him back inside the ring, where Yukine was waiting for the other legal man to enter as he attempts for a pin over Tanjiro.

Tanjiro kicks out.

"And the tide of the match just changed with SOS Brigade prevailing throughout this tag team match-up!" Excalibur exclaimed as Yukine whips Tanjiro so hard that he got bounced off the turnbuckles, earning glaring disapproval from the crowd.

Yukine then grabs Tanjiro and sends him back to their corner and rains down Tanjiro with a few haymakers, stunning Tanjiro in the process. Then, Yukine squeezes Tanjiro's head with his foot until the referee scolds him for the longevity of the illegal move.

"SOS Brigade is taking things their way with any possible moves that can incapacitate Tanjiro to avoid any tags despite Zenitsu being out," Corey said as Yukine adjusts Tanjiro and was now facing the turnbuckles and continued to squeeze the head of Tanjiro with his foot while the referee continues to warn Yukine. Haruhi shouted at Tanjiro to 'give up and his partner will never come back to him'.

Meanwhile, on different corners, only Shoto rose up from the outside to the apron as the assault continues inside when Yukine tags Yato in. However, the crowd cheered when Tanjiro showed signs of life when he attacks Yato and then Yukine, who went outside to avoid getting any physical contact inside. But Yato fires back with a hard punch, knocking Tanjiro to the canvas.

"Both members of SOS Brigade and Shoto Todoroki are only the ones on the apron right now and Tanjiro somehow needs to find a way to defend himself from the assault," Excalibur stated as Yato continues the beatdown when he grabs the arm of Tanjiro to hit a Short Arm Clothesline, sending him down again.

"The methodical and brutal beatdown continues to show on the brigade's part and I don't know how much Tanjiro can stand now," Shun said in concern as Yato toys around the body of Tanjiro.

Yato slowly stands on the back of Tanjiro with his two feet, who tries to make a hold of the bottom rope but Yukine quickly grabbed the hand as the suffering from Tanjiro continued while the referee scolds them and the crowd was not happy with this mockery. Haruhi, adds insult to injury when she poses to behind them. Meanwhile, Inosuke begins to rally the fans and chant Tanjiro's name despite being the lone man in his team.

"Like a surfboard, Yato is relishing the moment without the waves splatting over him and just toys around the defenseless Tanjiro!" Corey exclaimed as Yato grabs Tanjiro and whips him to an empty corner, landing on his back as Yato carries him in a Fireman's Carry position and hits a TKO on Tanjiro.

"TKO by Yato and that should be enough, according to the name of the move itself but the match continues, as far as the other teams are concerned," Excalibur noted as Yato tags Yukine back in, earning more boos from the fans.

Yato then squeezes the head of Tanjiro with his foot again as Yukine decks Shoto with a cheap shot, but this time, Shoto barely falls off the apron and being vexed by the sudden offense, he tried to intervene but the referee sends him back, causing for the fans to boo more while Haruhi shouts at Shoto to 'stay there and you do nothing'.

Yukine grabs Tanjiro and hits a Scoop Slam as the former taunts the crowd again, who booed him. Yukine attempts to pull the arm of Tanjiro, but miraculously, he showed signs of life when he strongly blocks the pull from Yukine, who fights back in the tug-of-war until he could make it back to his feet. Tanjiro then decided to bite the head of Yukine, causing the referee and Haruhi to scold Tanjiro for the illegal move as it miraculously lead to a separation until Tanjiro hits a hard Headbutt, sending both legal men down on the mat. The crowd began to cheer when Inosuke howled and clapped as they joined along the symphony.

"That bite from Tanjiro might have saved him from a fully one-sided beatdown from SOS Brigade. But the question is – can he make a breather after all of this assault?" Excalibur asked.

"But hey, Todoroki is still on the apron and no one is around but him to make a tag," Corey noted as both men began to stand with Tanjiro, who was looking in their corner, but unfortunately, Zenitsu is still out.

Tanjiro then decides to make a forced tag to Shoto, who enters the ring to a pop as he takes out Yukine with a few punches and a few chops but Yukine fires back with a big Uppercut and went ricocheting to the ropes only for Shoto to duck the attempted Clothesline to carry Yukine on his shoulders in an Argentine Backbreaker Rack and sends him down with a Rack Bomb to the cheers of the fans.

"Rack Bomb by Todoroki and he's got nothing to lose here!" Shun exclaimed as Shoto sights Yukine crawling to an empty corner as he makes a run to hit a Corner Dropkick to the face of Yukine as Haruhi was showing signs of concern, also the same goes for Inosuke.

Shoto then grabs the head of Yukine in a Front Facelock as he jumps to the turnbuckles to hit a Tornado DDT, spiking the head of Yukine, causing the crowd to cheer. Meanwhile, Yato enters the ring to punch the gut of Shoto, causing the crowd to boo immediately.

Yato sees Shoto clutching his gut on a corner and attempts to lunge at him but Shoto sidesteps as Yato hits his face on the turnbuckle instead. Shoto then grabs the head of Yato and attempts a second Tornado DDT but Yato shoves Shoto before he could spike him on his head. Yato kicks the gut of Shoto and went to hoist him up for a Powerbomb; however, Shoto was able to keep his momentum and landed on his feet on the mat while Yato turns around and was met by a surprising Diving Hurricanrana from Katsuki off the top turnbuckle, sending the crowd into an elated mood.

"Here comes the tag team combination move from Class 1-A's Todoroki and Bakugo, evening the odds against the brigade!" Excalibur said as Yato was rolling outside with both Shoto and Katsuki following the other team outside.

Shoto takes on Yato while Katsuki goes after Yukine as they take each other outside to the cheers of the crowd.

"And the fight has been escalated to the outside with the two legal teams right now and remember, both Yukine and Todoroki are the legal men in the match but this is a three-way and this is gonna be an all-out mugging!" Shun exclaimed as Shoto went for a kick but was blocked by the hands of Yato, who grabs Shoto and hits a Uranage on the apron.

Meanwhile, Katsuki decks the back of Yato after sending Yukine on the barricade and continues to maul Yato with chops and forearm shots but Yato fires back with a big Uppercut and takes a step back to take a breather as Yukine picks up Katsuki, attempting for a Powerslam but Katsuki slides off. When Yukine turns around, he was met by a Meteora by Shoto from the apron, sending awes from the crowd.

"Diving Meteora off the apron by Todoroki and Yukine did not expect that kind of attack from Class 1-A!" Corey said as Yato attempts to surprise Shoto with a Clothesline only for him to duck but Yato did not expect a Death Valley Driver from Katsuki and hits Yato with the said move on the floor.

"Death Valley Driver by Bakugo onto Yato, that has to hurt! The match is getting more intense with every passing minute!" Excalibur shouted as Shoto and Katsuki picked up Yukine back to the ring.

Shoto grabs Yukine by the head and sends it draping on the middle rope and calls out his partner to do the move as the crowd was hyped up by Katsuki, who went to the ropes and hits a Tiger Feint Kick on Yukine's face before Shoto could hit the Roundhouse Kick on Yukine, causing for Haruhi and Inosuke to be nervous about the possible result as Shoto went for a cover while Katsuki defends the predicament.

Out of nowhere, Tanjiro breaks the pin with a stomp on the back of Shoto, earning cheers from the crowd while Shoto's partner failed to defend it as he was sent back by the referee to their corner while Tanjiro went back on his own. The crowd began to chant Tanjiro's name while Inosuke was jumping anxiously over the last predicament that was gladly broken.

"Tanjiro… with a save after all of this battle occurred… it is quite amazing that he's still functioning!" Shun said in shock as Shoto picks up Yukine, attempting for a Powerbomb but Yukine countered and launches Shoto with a Back Body Drop, causing both men to go down.

Shoto tries to make a rest on a corner; however, he sat on the wrong corner when Tanjiro makes a surprising tag on Shoto, causing for the crowd to cheer as he targets Yukine and then Yato, who enters the ring to fight him off.

"Here comes Tanjiro, he is a one-man-possessed machine with those lightning chops and punches!" Excalibur exclaimed as Tanjiro exchanged chops and fists between Yato and Yukine, which was beside him on both sides.

Unfortunately, it was not enough for Tanjiro to be picked up by Yukine and hit a Pendulum Backbreaker, causing for the crowd to boo and Inosuke to be worried while Haruhi shouted to them to 'finish it!'. Yato then climbs up to the top turnbuckle and drops an elbow to complete the Demolition Decapitation on the body of Tanjiro as Yato went on to Shoto, who just got backed up on the apron to send him down again with a punch. While Katsuki enters under the rope only for him to get knocked out by a Lariat, sending him down again.

"The SOS Brigade has brought the upper hand right to them again with their tag team brilliance and we still have no update on the condition of Zenitsu!" Shun exclaimed as both Yato and Yukine were solely focused on Tanjiro, who unconsciously crawls towards their corner but Zenitsu was out.

Both Yato and Yukine began to trash-talk the loner Tanjiro and mock him with light stomps, only for Tanjiro to defiantly fight back with more chops to the chests of both members of the brigade. Unsurprisingly, the team fought back with chops and headbutts, sending a message to Tanjiro.

"Tanjiro… he did too much of his homework but failed to adhere that this will be over in just a sec—Wait a second! He's back! Zenitsu's back!" Excalibur shouted as the crowd were loudly cheering for the return of Zenitsu, who was still clearly hurt but he soldiered on and made his way to the ringside area. Inosuke was ecstatic about the comeback of his brethren while Haruhi was shocked as a pole when she saw Zenitsu, climbing up to the apron.

"I think he's all taped up with Kinesio tape on his back but nevertheless, he's here to make a big statement!" Corey replied as Yukine mocks Zenitsu that 'it is all over now' as Yato carries Tanjiro on his shoulders with Yukine bouncing to the ropes.

Before they could hit the move, Tanjiro miraculously escapes from Yato, who got shoved by Tanjiro towards Yukine, who stopped midway, avoiding the accidental collision between them. Both brigade members then went for a Double Clothesline, but Tanjiro rolled underneath as he makes a successful tag to Zenitsu, who entered with a loud reception as he quickly climbs up to the top and dives off onto Yato and Yukine with a Diving Crossbody.

"There he goes! Zenitsu with a Diving Crossbody to both members of SOS Brigade and he could not wait to make a statement here tonight!" Excalibur shouted as both brigade members went to opposite corners to take a breather.

Zenitsu only focused on Yato, who got victimized by a few chops and did not see the upcoming Yukine, who attempts to run over Zenitsu, who manages to sidestep and Yukine accidentally hits Yato with a Corner Clothesline.

"Oh, no! A rare mishap from SOS Brigade and Zenitsu takes advantage of the whole situation!" Corey exclaimed as Zenitsu grabs the head of Yukine to attack him with a few chops and forearm shots to the face.

Zenitsu attempts for a Lariat but Yukine ducks the arm of Zenitsu but Yukine did not see the Headbutt attack by Zenitsu, sending him down on the canvas to the cheers of the crowd. Yato tries to attack Zenitsu but was caught by the latter as he hits a Half-and-Half Suplex, followed up by a Reverse STO, causing him to be in pain again due to his landing on the back.

"An array of moves effectively shuts down SOS Brigade but his back spoils the party for Zenitsu!" Shun said as Zenitsu went for a cover with a leg hooked.

Katsuki breaks up the pin by an Axe Handle to the back of Zenitsu as he grabs his head to punch him.

"Bakugo just made in time with the pin break and all these teams are all worthy of becoming the new #1 contenders for the tag team titles but only one can punch that proverbial ticket to Battle Chronicle!" Corey stated as Zenitsu fires back with his own punches.

Once Yukine entered the ring, both Zenitsu and Shoto worked each other to take out Yato with a Double Pump Kick to the face but eventually got knocked by Yukine with a Double Clothesline, turning both inside out, causing for the crowd to boo Yukine while Haruhi jumped in happiness.

"Wow! Wicked Double Special Lariat by Yukine and the match between these three teams continues but it gets uglier every second!" Excalibur said as he grabs Zenitsu and carried him over the top turnbuckle while he did not know that Shoto makes a secret tag on Yukine before he could send Zenitsu over the top.

"There's the tag and I think Yukine did not realize that a tag was made there!" Shun announced as Yukine got kicked by Zenitsu, who fights back despite being in pain.

Yukine clutches the head and then realizes that Zenitsu was conscious, he went running towards him but Zenitsu jumps off the top to dodge the incoming attack. But when Yukine kisses the turnbuckles, Shoto hits an Enzuigiri from the apron to Yukine, who turns to meet Zenitsu, kicking him to the gut as he saw Shoto on the top as they both nodded and both men worked with each other to hit the SOS Driver (Spike Piledriver) on to Yukine, causing for the fans to go in awe at the unexpected teamwork from the two teams and Haruhi to be pissed off for stealing their move.

"Oh, my God! That was SOS Brigade's patented Piledriver, the SOS Driver, a taste of their own medicine! They delivered it on SOS Brigade itself!" Corey said as Zenitsu tries for a cover but he got surprised when Shoto hits a Running Blockbuster, sending Zenitsu's back in pain on the canvas.

Yato arrived on the scene as Shoto tags Katsuki in to attack Yato with multiple punches throughout his body then Yato fights back with Throat Trusts on both Class 1-A members. Yato then bounces to the ropes as he was only met by a Double Roundhouse Kick to the side of his face, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Meanwhile, Shoto saw Zenitsu standing up on his own near the barricade as he bounces to the ropes to dive to the outside with a Suicide Dive, sending the injured back of Zenitsu on the barricade.

"The action is spilling everywhere, from inside to the outside, they are a lot of bodies throwing off everywhere! What a chaotic match this has been so far!" Shun observed the whole action in the match as Shoto then climbs up to the top as Katsuki picks up Yato.

However, Yukine somehow moved and tries to yank the foot of Shoto and successfully pulls Shoto off the top to the apron, landing face-first on the hardest part of the ring. Meanwhile, Yato picks Katsuki up and hits a TKO on Katsuki. Eventually, Tanjiro enters the ring only to meet Yukine, sending Tanjiro up with a Flapjack, hitting his face. Also, Zenitsu tried to muster up the energy to enter the ring to help Tanjiro but was caught by Yukine who slams him down with a Uranage, causing his back to ache severely, earning the loudest boos of the match while Haruhi continues to applaud his men.

"SOS Brigade has taken back control of the match and they are taking everybody out!" Excalibur exclaimed as Yato grabs Katsuki, who was one of the legal men of the match as he sends his body inside beside their corner to make a tag of himself. The crowd began to boo the brigade once more.

"Yato tags himself and this could be over in an instant since the other legal man is none other than Zenitsu, whose back is in bad shape right now!" Corey stated as he grabs Zenitsu and carries him again to the top as Yato tagged Yukine in, with the latter went to the other corner to climb slowly as Yato climbs up to punch Zenitsu a few times until he couldn't move.

Yato then picks up his arm and hits a Superplex, followed up by a Diving Splash by Yukine, completely finishing the Power-Plex tag team combo as Yukine makes an immediate cover to Zenitsu.

Zenitsu kicks out, much to the shock of the members of the SOS Brigade as Inosuke was beginning to scream at Zenitsu as the crowd began to chant his name.

"H-How does he manage to kick out of that one? This guy is not human!" Shun asks Zenitsu's resiliency as both Yato and Yukine pick up his lifeless body with Yato carrying him in Fireman's Carry position as Yukine went to bounce to the ropes.

However, Shoto makes a sneaky tag to Zenitsu while Tanjiro pulls the leg of Yukine as soon as he bounces to the ropes, sending him to the outside. On the other hand, Shoto pulls out Zenitsu's body as Yato was too exhausted to carry on with Shoto deciding things on his hands as he dives to the outside on both Yukine and Tanjiro with a Suicide Dive, sending awes from the crowd.

Katsuki then enters the ring while Yato begins to stand up, and so is Shoto, who hits a Gamengiri on Yato, causing him to stagger and landed on the ropes with his head draping on the middle rope, this causes Katsuki to hit a Tiger Feint Kick on Yato with Shoto grabbing the neck and turns him around as Katsuki went to the top as both men hit a Moonsault/Neckbreaker combo to Yato as Shoto makes the cover with both legs hooked on Yato.

By the grace of God, Zenitsu makes the save in just a nick of time for the match to continue, sending the crowd, Haruhi, and Inosuke into a collaborative gasp of shocks.

"WHAT IN THE—ZENITSU SAVES THE NIGHT FOR HIS TEAM AND THE MATCH CONTINUES! WHAT A BREAKUP! THE GUTS OF THIS KID IS EXTRAORDINARY!" Corey shouted from the top of his lungs as the crowd began to chant 'This is Awesome!' loudly, followed by 'AVW' eventually with Zenitsu and Katsuki rolling out of the ring.

"I can concur with what the crowd is saying about this match, this is unbelievable!" Shun added as Tanjiro slowly backs up on the apron in their corner to climb to the ropes to make a tag on an unaware Yato and enter the ring to target Shoto.

Tanjiro picks up the proverbial bones of Shoto and attempts for a Michinoku Driver; however, Shoto lands behind on his feet and sends Tanjiro to the ropes and rolls him up with an O'Connor Roll, adding up a bridge using his upper body.

Tanjiro kicks out and quickly stands up and makes another attempt for another Michinoku Driver, only for Shoto to counter into a Small Package.

Tanjiro kicks out again as both men stood up again with Shoto grabbing the legs of Tanjiro, floating over Tanjiro with a Jackknife Pin.

Tanjiro uses his full body weight to raise himself up from the pin and both men go for the Backslide but were blocking each other, using their whole weight.

However, Shoto escapes the hold and hits a Gamengiri over Tanjiro's head as he bounces to the ropes, only for Tanjiro to launch Shoto in the air as the crowd was shocked to see Zenitsu arriving in time to catch Shoto mid-air with a Reverse STO.

"Pop-Up Reverse STO! And this could only mean one thing, gentlemen!" Excalibur cried as both Tanjiro and Zenitsu climbs on different corners quickly as they could and looked at each other to let out a war cry as they hit The 17th Form (Double Diving Headbutt) as Tanjiro makes the cover.

Yukine tries to intervene only for Zenitsu to stomp his head before he could enter the ring entirely.

The bell rang in succession as the crowd were cheering as the victors' music was played in the background.

"Here are your winners, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Tanjiro Kamado – The Head Hunters!" Mai Sakurajima announced as the referee raised the hands of the winning team, also Inosuke enters the ring to congratulate his best friends as he carefully raised them on both of his shoulders.

"You can see the pain in their faces but that pain must have been relieved after hearing the words coming out of Sakurajima-san's announcing voice! That has to be good for The Head Hunter and what a match that was!" Shun exclaimed as the camera shows the defeated looks of both Class 1-A and SOS Brigade, in which, Haruhi was nagging about the inconsistencies of the match while Yato and Yukine were clearly disappointed after not snagging the opportunity. "And also, I could hear Suzumiya complaining about them losing the match but she should be preparing for her match next week at this point, wasn't she frightened by that announcement earlier?!"

"And because of this victory from The Head Hunters, it is now official! At Battle Chronicle, The Head Hunters will face the AVW World Tag Team Champions Fire Force!" Excalibur announced a new match, clearly ignoring the question by Shun as all of a sudden, the champions arrived at the entrance and made their way to the ring to personally congratulate the new contenders.

"And here comes the champions! They're here to send congratulations…" Corey said as both Tanjiro and Zenitsu jumped off the shoulders of Inosuke to meet with the champions, who extend their hands to offer a handshake. "…and probably a lot of good luck and possibly a great healing from the healing gods above for Zenitsu's case."

The Head Hunters relented at first but decided to accept the gesture as they shook hands with the champions to the cheers of the crowd and Inosuke's elation.

However, both Zenitsu and Tanjiro pulled both Arthur and Shinra into their faces and confronted them head-to-head, quite literally. But Fire Force responded when they raised the belts while their eyes are laser-focused on their contenders as the crowd was cheering continuously.

"We're looking forward to this tag team championship match in less than 3 weeks at Philadelphia but the tension inside of that ring is already on another level!" Excalibur said as the show ended with both teams still staring at one another.
