SCENE: ADAM PAGE VS SWERVE STRICKLAND FULL GEAR 2023

Cast :

Adam Page: Sun Wukong

Swerve Strickland: Mercury Black

The theater quieted down from the last world and the revelations that came with it, though both Jaune and Adam were still attempting to process the information they learnt.

Similarly Ozpin's group were still talking about hit as well. Long ago there had been theories about what would have happened if someone was injected with Grimm essence, though that theory quickly died out when people realized that it just kills you in a horrible and painful manner.

But the thought of not one but two hybrids was still astonishing to hear, even if it was from another world. Just as shocking as the fact that a Grimm was able to fall in love and have children.

Salem was curious about that as well, wondering what type of Grimm she would make that could feel emotions, that would be a liability.

Before anyone more thoughts on the last world could occur, Agnus got everyone's attention. "Alright everyone, I found a pretty cool world that I think most of you will enjoy." He said.

"What's it about?" Oscar asked.

"I hope it's not like the last one." Ruby muttered, the image of Jaune's impaled body bleeding out on top of the tower still replaying in her mind, even if he did survive.

"This world is definitely much more tame than the last one. As for what it's about, we're gonna be seeing a good ole fashion wrastling match." Agnus said with a grin

Yang, Ruby and Nora all gasped in excitement being hardcore fans of the sport. Jaune was excited as well, though for more nostalgia reasons, remembering how him and his family used to sit around by the TV and watch.

Sun was just as excited as the girls, in Vacuo he used to go every weekend down in the fair and watch the matches in person. They were brutal, but seriously entertaining.

The rest of the audience either didn't care, or were at least somewhat interested in what was going to happen.

Agnus then clicked his remote as the screen began to light up.

The scene opened up with a shot of Mercury opening his eyes as Sun's voice was heard, "At WrestleDream, it took Roman, it took his cane but you had me beat." He said as the scene of Mercury and Roman cheating to beat Sun was shown. "You could've taken my spot, you could've challenged for the world title...but what you decided to do was make the biggest mistake in your sad, pathetic and meaningless life!" Sun shouted with anger clear in his voice.

"Huh, looks like it's my turn." Sun said with a smirk, before turning and glaring at Roman and Mercury for cheating. Roman held up his hands in defense, while Merc just smirked back at him, too happy to see himself appear on screen.

"Dang, I don't think I've ever heard Sun that angry before." Yang admitted.

"I have." Ilia muttered, remembering how he laid into her back at Menagerie when she was trying to get Blake to join back the White Fang.

Blake blushed remembering that memory, she would always be grateful to Sun for helping her with the White Fang, even when he didn't need to.

Kali smirked at her daughter, she could feel the connection between the two. It was similar to how she met Ghira.

Roman and Mercury were shown sitting backstage, "We are not accessible people." Merc said as footage of Mercury about to use Roman's cane was shown, but Sun appeared outside the ring and grabbed it from him. That caused Black to start an argument with Sun which left him open to a running knee from Ren, who then pinned him.

"You asshole! You screwed me over!" Mercury shouted.

"And you took my cane! That wasn't cheap you know!" Roman joined in on the shouting.

'He stole it.' Neo signed from behind the thief.

"First of all, you screwed me first so that's just Karma." Sun said with a grin before turning to Roman, "Secondly, I don't really care about your cane."

Roman clutched his hand over his heart and fell dramatically back into the seat.

Nora gave a small blush at seeing Ren in only a pair of trunks and decided to take a mental picture so she could remember that during...'alone' time.

"You not gon take something from me like a TNT title opportunity." Mercury said as footage was shown of him glaring at Sun from inside the ring. "You're not just gonna steal that from me and think that there's not gonna be repercussions to these things." The assassin warned.

Mercury was then shown with an evil smile, "It's not just you that pays for your actions...sometimes it's your loved ones that do." Mercury growled as he was then shown opening the door to a house and on the side it said 'Belladonna-Wukong household'.

Both Sun and Blake blushed profusely at this, though Sun did have a small smirk giving a mental cheer to his other self. Blake tried and failed to hide her blush, but she wasn't against the idea of marrying Sun.

Just then it hit them what Mercury said and they both turned to glare at him, "You better not hurt her." Sun growled throwing a protective arm over Blake.

"You better not hurt HIM either." Blake said glaring at Mercury.

Soon Ilia, The Belladonna parents and even Adam were all glaring at the metal legged assassin.

Mercury glared back at them all though, he wasn't gonna take the heat because of something his alternate self did.

"Ahem." He turned around to see Team RWY glaring at him as well.

Mercury was then shown walking inside the house with a big grin plastered on his face, "Whose house?" He asked as Sun was shown watching with a horrified expression on the titantron. "Black showed that he was willing to hit Sun where it hurt the most." Tai said as Mercury continued to walk around the house. He was examining the decor and making fun of it, he even threw down a picture of Sun and Blake on their wedding day.

"That was just a warning shot." Mercury narrated as he went into the kitchen and started emptying the cupboards and smashing plates on the ground. Then he turned his attention to the fridge, though more importantly the finger paintings that were stuck on them, they were obviously that of a young child.

Both the monkey and the cat let out an audible gasp at that, before they both turned away blushing profusely.

Though that blush quickly went away when they remembered the situation that was currently going on.

Panic and fear set in and they both hoped that Mercury wouldn't hurt their interdimensional child.

Kali and Ghira were also praying that nothing would happen to their grandchild.

Mercury silently hoped his other self wouldn't go too far. He may have killed people, but he drew the line at children and disabled people. He wasn't a cold hearted killer like his father and he wasn't a complete psychopath like Tyrian and Cinder.

Mercury was then shown taking one of the finger paintings from the fridge and ripping it apart. He was then shown sitting down on the couch looking at the children's toys and books, before a devious smirk appeared on his face as he got up and started to walk upstairs. "That was to let you know that I can do whatever I want." Mercury narrated again with smugness in his voice as the footage showed him walking into a child's bedroom with a crib inside.

Inside said crib was a little boy, just over a year old. He had a pair of racoon ears atop his head which was full of blonde hair. The boy was also wearing a brown onesie with a fake monkey tail attached behind it.

The theater was immediately filled with coos at the child, though they mostly came from the women.

"AWWWW! Look at his little ears!" Kali gushed, already wanting to hold her interdimensional grandson.

Blake was cooing and had an expression that those close to her never saw her make, though Sun and Ilia found it adorable. She then pulled out her scroll and started snapping about fifty pictures of her son.

Even Salem had to admit that the child was cute, though she then gained a saddened expression at the memory of her own children. Before she glared at Ozpin with nothing but hatred in her eyes.

"I remember when Ruby and Yang were that age." Summer sighed as the memories came back to her.

Raven gave another jealous look, while she may have seen Yang say her first words or take her first steps Summer actually got to experience that in the moment.

The boy was shown sitting in his crib, though when he saw the unfamiliar face a look of fear washed over him. Tears then started to well up in the child's eyes as Mercury walked closer to the crib. Mercury held an all too fake smile, as he came up close to the crib before pulling out some merchandise and gently resting it down in the crib. The boy did not like this strange man whatsoever, so he curled up in himself and started to cry as Mercury left the room.

Most of the theater felt their hearts ache at the crying child, the mothers present wanted nothing more than to jump through the screen and comfort the child. While some well...

"GHIRA LET ME GO! THAT PEG LEGGED BASTARD HAS TO PAY!" Kali shouted as she thrashed around in her husband's grip.

"Honey, I understand you're angry but remember that the boy on screen isn't the one in the audience." Ghira sighed trying to calm his wife down. Meanwhile with Sun and Blake.

"BLAKE! CHILL OUT! PLEASE!" Sun screamed as Blake thrashed around wildly in his arms.

"NO WAY! THAT JACKASS MADE MY KITTY CRY!" She hissed.

"Ilia a little help please?!" Sun begged as Ilia just sat there.

"I say let her go, what's the worst that can happen?"

"GODDAMNIT ILIA!"

"Whatever vicious side Sun needs to find in himself...Mercury has just conjured that up." Robyn's voice was heard as footage of Sun was shown choking out Qrow with a chain. Sun was then shown opening his eyes as Mercury's voice was heard, "If I had gotten the opportunities you had gotten years ago...I would've been the first RWE World Champion."

Sun was then shown pacing around backstage as he looked to the camera in anger, "You could've challenged for the world title...but what you decided to do was make the biggest mistake in your sad, pathetic and meaningless life!" Sun once again repeated. "Sun Wukong could be the most motivated he's ever been...but he could also be the most distracted he's ever been." Port's voice was heard as Sun was shown to be in a tag team match, when Mercury appeared on stage causing Sun's attention to be turned towards the assassin.

"Yeah real brave." Yang scoffed, "Going after someone's family to try and get the advantage is nothing but cowardly."

"Hey blondie, it's called 'playing it smart'." Mercury said, "I know your pea-sized brain only understands how to punch things, but sometimes problems require you to use your smarts." He said with a grin.

Yang turned around to glare at him eyes red, but before she could confront him, she felt a hand on her shoulder and saw it was Taiyang. He gently pushed her back down to her seat while throwing a glare at Mercury.

As much as he wanted to deny it, the asshole was right. Yang would still let her anger get the better of her most times and that led to her leaving openings for her enemies to take.

"I was at your house." Mercury taunted from on the stage as Sun seethed. Sun was then shown backstage once again, "When you opened the door...when you crossed that threshold into my home...you stepped into the gates of hell!" Sun threatened, "At Full Gear, I'll take you down to the fiery pits for eternity!" He declared as Sun was shown standing in front of cracked mirror.

Blake having calmed down from her earlier outburst, looked on in worry. While she wanted Mercury to pay for what he did, she didn't want Sun to lose himself as well.

She looked into his eyes and saw the hatred and anger...it reminded her of Adam, but she wouldn't let him go down the same path as the bull faunus.

"Sun is fighting for more than just to win wrestling matches. He's fighting for revenge." Tai declared as a shot of Sun wrapping his mid section in barbed wire and then jumping off the top rope was shown. "You are not the man you think you are. AT FULL GEAR YOU GOT THE MONKEY KING IN A VACUO DEATHMATCH!" Sun exclaimed.

Qrow choked a bit on his drink as he heard what on screen Sun said, "A Vacuo Deathmatch?!"

Ruby turned towards him confused, "What's that Uncle Qrow?"

Qrow sighed, wrestling had gone PG recently so things like deathmatches weren't really common now a days, "It's one of the most violent match types in history kid. So I gotta warn you that things are probably gonna get messy." He said.

He also didn't tell her how he used to sneak out from Beacon and compete in those said matches.

"Okay, now I'm hyped." Nora grinned ready to see this match

The video package ended as the two were shown staring each other down in the ring, their eyes held nothing but hatred and malice for each other.

The screen then changed to an arena in Vale that had over 80,000 people in it, just then music hit.

"WHOSE HOUSE?" Was heard around the arena as four girls dressed black spandex were shown dancing on the stage as music played. Then Roman came out in the middle of all of them and started dancing as well.

This got the entire theater to start cracking up at seeing the thief start to dance...well I say dance very loosely. Even Neo was silently giggling.

Roman grumbled in embarrassment at what his on screen self was doing, he was a good dancer damnit!

Torchwick then moved out of the way showing Mercury behind him who had a cold and calculating expression. Mercury walked down to the ring with purpose...while Roman was dancing all the way, the two made it into the middle of the ring as Mercury proceeded to pose for the fans. However he was so self centered that he didn't see Sun run out from backstage and into the ring, tackling him to the ground and landing haymaker after haymaker.

"OH! It's on!" Nora grinned excitedly.

"Kick his ass Sun!" Yang shouted from behind him.

Sun cracked his knuckles, "Don't worry, I intend to."

Mercury smirked, "We'll see about that."

Mercury pushed off Sun as he tried to regain his bearings, the silver haired menace then tried to rush Sun who hit him with a pop-up powerbomb. As Black was on the matt groaning in pain, the blonde went onto the apron and waited for him to get up, once Mercury was up Sun hit him with a buckshot lariat literally turning Mercury inside out.

Sun then went outside the ring and grabbed a chair from by the announce table, he then went back in the ring where Merc was on his feet and literally threw the chair at his head sending the douche back to the ground. Sun then went outside the ring once again and got tape and a stapler, he then went back into the ring and started taping Mercury's two hands together. Once his hands were bound together, Sun took the stapler and stapled his left pec earning a scream of pain from Mercury.

Some of the students winced at that, "Geeze, this Sun isn't pulling any punches." Jaune muttered.

"Yeah, from the get go he hasn't been giving Mercury time to breathe." Yang said, though she would be lying if she said she wasn't enjoying this.

"Well, he did break into my other's house and make his kid cry so I can understand." Sun said as he looked on.

Tyrian grinned like crazy, "Oho this is gonna be fun." He giggled.

Mercury rolled out of the ring to try and get some space, but Sun followed him and this time stapled his right pec eliciting another painful screech from Mercury. Sun then took a piece of paper before stapling it to Mercury's left shoulder making the assassin jolt in pain. Mercury then dragged himself back into the ring while Sun got another chair and drove it once again into Mercury's head busting it open.

Sun then pulled out one of his son's finger paintings and brought it up to Mercury's cheek in an attempt to staple it, but the painting fell off. Sun then tried again on his other cheek and this time was successful with the painting staying stapled to his skin. Sun then grabbed Mercury's face and forced him to look the faunus in the eye before grabbing the painting and ripping it from Mercury's cheek tearing some of his flesh and causing Merc to scream to the heavens. Sun then grabbed Merc's head and and put his mouth underneath it, literally drinking his blood.

The audience turned green in disgust at what this other Sun was doing, Sun himself was the most disgusted thinking that his other was going to far.

"Oh, that reminds me of my first kill. I made sure to savor their blood." Tyrian said with a sense of nostalgia causing people to look at him in disgust and for Hazel to scoot away from him.

"Told you this wasn't gonna be pretty." Qrow said taking a sip from his flask.

"Why would anyone watch this?" Winter questioned, "It's barbaric!" She exclaimed.

"Eh, some people like to view this as watching a movie and besides the company is full of professionals. They would never let another wrestler kill someone." The drunk explained to her.

Sun then went underneath the ring again and grabbed a chair wrapped in barbed wire, he attempted to hit Mercury who managed to avoid a grisly fate by kicking Sun in the balls sending the Blonde crumpling to the ground. Mercury then went over by the ropes where Roman cut the tape binding his hands, the assassin then got up to face Sun who was in possession of the stapler. Sun stapled and stapled but it didn't seem to hurt Merc anymore, eventually Mercury grabbed the stapler and forced it into Sun's head stapling it.

Mercury then giggled sadistically and stapled himself twice before throwing the office item away. He then took the chair and stuffed it into a corner and grabbed Sun's head and ramming it into the barbed wired object. Black then took a piece of barbed wire and wrapped it around Sun's already bleeding face, once that was done he went underneath the ring and grabbed a cinder block and rested it on the apron. Sun got up and started punching Mercury repeatedly stunning him, the blonde then tried to hit a springboard clothesline but Merc caught him and pulled Sun onto the apron. He then got the monkey up on the fireman's carry position and hit a death valley driver onto the cinder block.

"Are they trying to kill each other?!" Weiss shouted incredulously.

"This is already more intense than any of the matches we've seen." Ruby whispered to Yang who nodded in agreement.

Blake held her breath in worry, but calmed down when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned seeing Sun. He smiled at her and she smiled back giving his hand a squeeze.

Cinder groaned, 'Why couldn't my Mercury be as intense and brutal as that one.'

As Sun's body ragdolled on to the ground, Merc came down from the apron and and grabbed Sun by the back of the neck and rammed him into the barricade. Mercury then got both him and Sun on top of the barricade and hit a piledriver, spiking Sun's head on the edge of the barricade. Mercury then grabbed a bottle of water from a cameraman and emptied it on his face in order to wash the blood. He then threw Sun back into the ring and grabbed the same piece of barbed wire he ripped off and attempted to hit Sun, but the monkey countered with a fallaway slam. Sun then grabbed the wired and drove it into Mercury's face making sure it opened up his wound even further. Sun then wrapped the wire around Mercury's body before hitting him with another fallaway slam.

Mercury fell out of the ring which gave Sun some time to recover, he wiped some blood from his face and grabbed the barbed wired chair. He then went to the tope turnbuckle and hit a moonsault onto Mercury making sure the chair hit him flush on his face. Sun then threw Black back into the ring and attempted to hit a buckshot lariat, however Roman distracted him long enough for Mercury to counter and attempt to hit the JML driver. Though Sun managed to counter that into a roll up, which Mercury kicked out of.

Sun then grabbed the chair once again, but Mercury kicked it out of his hands, the silver haired menace then tried to hit a tombstone piledriver on to the chair. But at the last second, Sun turned it around into his own piledriver spiking Merc's head on the barbed wire. The ref then started the ten count while Merc was on the ground, however Roman ended up helping Mercury back on his feet to keep him in the match.

"Oh come on! It's practically a 2v1!" Nora complained.

Sun turned to glare at Roman once again and the thief put up his hands in defense.

Sun then put Mercury on the top turnbuckle and was about to hit a superplex on the man, but Mercury flipped through that and took the barbed chair and hit it on Sun's back, making sure to drag it down as well. Mercury then put the chair on the ground and hit a powerbomb on Sun sending him back first on the chair. Black then climbed to the top and hit his signature black stomp, driving his two feet into Sun's face. Mercury then grabbed the monkey and hit his JML Driver on Sun.

The ref then started his 10 count once again and just barely, by using the ropes Sun was able to get to his feet. Mercury then hit him with a clothesline sending them both out of the ring, he then grabbed a barbed wire table and set it up in the ring. Mercury then brought himself and Sun on the top rope to try and execute a move, however Sun countered with a fallaway slam sending Mercury through the table. Sun then grabbed him and hit a powerbomb on to the remnants of the barbed wire table, he then hit his finisher know as the Deadeye spiking Merc's head on the table.

Sun the wrapped the wire around Mercury's head and hit a buckshot lariat flipping Mercury over. As Mercury appeared to be down for the count, Roman grabbed his leg and pulled him outside the ring to keep his client in the match. Sun then proceeded to get into an argument with Roman which left him vulnerable to a surprise attack from Junior. Hei Xiong then hit a powerbomb on Sun before lifting him up and throwing the monkey into the corner. He then it Sun with an F5 leaving him laid out in the ring.

"Now it's a 3v1! Seriously how many lackeys do you have?!" Yang questioned.

Mercury was smiling ear-to-ear, he always wanted lackeys. Meanwhile Roman was grumbling about how he was no one's lackey.

Junior then went outside the ring and set up a table, then went back inside the ring and tried to hit another powerbomb on Sun who used the wire and drove it right Xiong's face causing him to drop Sun. The monkey then wrapped it around his elbow before hitting Junior in the face with a rolling elbow. Sun dropped to one knee in exhaustion before Roman appeared from behind him with a steel chair. Though instead of hurting Sun the attack only seemed to annoy him, Sun then grabbed Roman and carried him out to the apron before hitting a Deadeye from the apron spiking Roman's head through the table.

"Yes! Now it's just you and me you prick!" Sun declared pointing at Mercury who glared at him.

Roman just winced at the damage his other self received, but he couldn't say that he didn't deserve it.

As Sun slowly got up, he didn't see Mercury come from behind with that damn cinder block and smash over the back of Sun's head causing the Monkey faunus to crumple to the floor. Mercury then went and grabbed a chain and wrapped it around Sun's neck, he then started using the chain to choke Sun from around the ring post. Sun tried to fight to stay awake as best as he could, however he ended up passing out signaling the ref to stop the match and declare Mercury the winner.

SCENE END

"DAMNIT!" Sun shouted in frustration and shame.

"WOOHOO! YEAH! PAY UP BITCH!" Mercury shouted at Emerald how begrudgingly handed him some lien.

"So what did you guys think?" Agnus asked the audience.

"It was brutal." Ruby said.

"It was a bit disgusting at times." Weiss added.

"But it was entertaining. Shame Sun didn't win though." Yang said

As for said Monkey faunus, he felt shame that while another version of himself, he didn't get to make Merc pay for what he did. He then felt Blake wrap a comforting arm around his shoulder and she looked at him with a kind smile.

"So what else have you got planned for us?" Adam asked.

"Well, we just have to wait and see." Agnus told him.

CHAPTER END
