NCW Electric- Episode #7- 5/4/17 (Taped April 28th)

NCW Arena- Johnstown, PA

"The Following Program Contains Scenes Of Violence, Strong Language And Other Elements That Do Not Reflect The Views Of TBS Or NCW And May Not Be Suitable For Younger Audiences. Viewer Discretion Is Advised."

"Mayhem" by Halestorm began with the musical opening as an assortment of shots of various wrestlers on the Electric Roster are shown like bolts of lightning.

"A Little Mayhem Never Hurt Anyone"

"Where'm I Going To Get Some"

"A little bedlam till I'm coming undone"

"Where'm I going to get some?"

"A Little Mayhem Never Hurt Anyone!"

(Suddenly Shot Of Numerous Actions In NCW History Involving Female Wrestlers Are Shown In Brief Flashes)

"Where'm I Going To Get Some!?"
"Get Some!?"

"Get Some!?"

"A Little Bedlam!"

"Till I'm Coming Undone!"

"Where'm I Going To Get Some!?"

"Get Some!?"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

(Lightning Bolt Causing A Shower Of Sparks Transition)

A series of small white fireworks crackled in the air, lighting up the arena which was completely blacked out. Once the pyro ceases, a pink neon sign that reads Electric slowly begin to come to life. Once it is lit, the entire stage is then revealed in light.

A large neon sign reading 'Electric' in cursive letters is held in place on the largest of a series of three trusses that are square with smaller lights that make up the entry way (think the 1995-1998 Nitro stage) with a board in the very back holding a series of lights. On top of these truss is a white screen that projects videos during entrances. On either side of the center entry way are two cylinders that glowed a solid color. They are covered up on the ends by rising dark grates with small slits that allow the light out. The centers of these cylinders are, however, left exposed. The stages stationary colors are pink for the sign, white for the lights within the square truss and purple for the cylinders.

A grated metal ramp, with a few lights running single file under the ramp and illuminating through the grating currently white, runs from the stage that's at 5 feet to the floor. The ringside area allows only a narrow area between the ring and the barricades. The barricades themselves are steel bars but now concealed by black sheets with the logos of NCW, Electric & TBS at various areas on the barricades. The ring itself consists of a grey canvas with the Electric logo in a faded purple, ropes concealed in purple tape with the turnbuckles following this pattern. To top everything off, the ring aprons are a dark purple.

"Ladies and Gentleman welcome to the seventh edition of NCW Electric, two hours of the best of the wrestlers with XX Chromosomes. We're coming to you from the NCW Arena in Johnstown, Pennsylvania!" Joey Styles could be heard announcing over the loud speakers within the building as a wide shot of the interior of the building and all its contents of stage, ring and crowd are shown. The lights over the crowd illuminate them in purple while the lights over the ring are left white.

"I'm Joey Styles joined by our newest member to the broadcast team, Bennett The Sage."

"Delighted to be here and on Electric…..away from Critic's dictatorship. That's always a step in the right direction." Bennett declares.

"Lucky you…" Joey grumbled, wishing he didn't have to deal with Critic on Saturday nights.

"Tonight, we continue with a rejuvenation of NCW. You will see Lucia Sycroin in her first Spirit Championship defense against Sarah Ortiz, who went the distance in the Scramble at Rejuvenation but came up short at the last minute." Joey states.

"Come up short? She freaking passed out!" Bennett exclaims. "Why she getting a rematch?"

"Your right Bennett, she passed out. She Did NOT submit, Referee Pee Wee Moore called the match for Sarah was in no shape to compete and awarded the decision to Lucia." Joey informs the viewers of his view of the situation.

"Well there it is. She passed out, she couldn't beat Lucia. What makes everyone think tonight will be different?" Bennett asked.

"It was a Scramble; she had to face five different wrestlers in separate matches in order to be Spirit Champion. Do you no….well…..I can see working with you is going to be a dream." Joey moaned.

"Indeed it shall be." Bennett replied in glee.

The camera faded to the stage which shifted to blue and white lights along the trusses, blue shading for the columns and an entire arena that's turned into a crisp blue shade. "Off The Chain (Instrumental)" by Dale Oliver began to play throughout the NCW Arena to a chorus of boos. From underneath the truss stepped out Joan Rivera, whose red hair and mostly red attire stuck out like a sore thumb compared to the lights around her. It's clear the entrance is not for her when the team of Remi & Maxine Bordeaux step out and follow Joan to the ring. Remi carries with her the Flag of Quebec, matching well with the color scheme of the stage and lights. As for Maxine, she seemed a bit discomforted for she carried a flag with an assortment of "1s and 0s" to represent their teams present day given to their leader.

"The following contest is the second of two semi-final matches to determine who will compete for the NCW Women's Tag Team Championship next. Making their way to the ring, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada…the team formerly known as Montreal's Finest…Remi & Maxine Bordeaux…..GameGen2.0…." Holo announced with increased dismay as she read down the card.

"But we are kicking things off with tag team action in our mini tournament to determine the new NCW Women's Tag Team Champions." Joey stated. "Last month at Rejuvenation, we had the flip-side to this match in which Sweet Diva defeated Seductive Dream. The winner of tonight's match will go on to face Sweet Diva in the near future for the belts."

"GameGen2.0 NEED to win this, they NEED to bronze around their waist. Otherwise they shall float down the river of uncertainty and drown in the ocean of obscurity." Bennet declared as the Bordeaux sisters step through the ropes before perching up on opposite end of the ring to overlook the crowd with dismay.

The lights turned green while simultaneously the song shifted to "I Don't Speak Human" by Omnia. A mixed reaction came from the Johnstown audience that clashed with the agenda the company was attempting to go with the incoming team. The team is of San and Nausicaa, a team known by fans as the Miyazaki Maidens but that title as yet to be confirmed.

"And their opponents, at a combined weight of 227 lbs, the team of San & Nausicaa!" Holo announced with much more enthusiasm.

"San and Nausicaa are motivated to roll through GameGen2.0 and get an opportunity at getting their hands on Sweet Diva for events that occurred at the FWAs." Joey states. "San & Nausicaa were competing in the female Best of The Best Tag Team Rumble, Nausicaa in particular had a impressive performance until Sweet Diva jumped the barricade and targeted solely the two um…."

"Tree Huggers. Go ahead, call them what they are. Its NCW, the Easily Offended want us off the air anyways. That's all San & Nausicaa are, tree huggers. I haven't cringed so much hearing environmental rants till these two came along. Nausicaa only knows how to run away, I have yet to see her actually punch someone. San needs to be put in the padded room, she STILL thinks shes a wolf! Who the hell thinks that?" Bennett asked completely confused.

"….you don't punch in wrestling th-" Joey began to say, but dropped the argument for there would be many to come tonight.

GameGen2.0 vs. San & Nausicaa- Semi Finals of NCW Women's Tag Team Tournament

Out of the Bordeaux sisters, Maxine would be starting things off with what many consider the muscle of the opposing team, San. And Maxine learns why in the early going for San is the first to take control of the bout and batters her foe. Maxine has to act on defense while San dishes everything she got (mainly variations of kicks, punches and the occasionally suplex) before the wrestling bout that San had transformed into a brawl tumbled out to the floor.

Of course what everyone in the crowd anticipated occurred, Joan appearing to be prepping to intervene? San quickly turns to Joan who slowly backs away. But the distraction is enough for Maxine to get back in the contest. Maxine attempted to give San a dose of her own medicine, beating her back but into the corner of her partner. Nausicaa tags herself in without any thought, leaping over the ropes and trying to go toe to toe with Maxine. But Nausicca is clearly playing soft with the open palms, and Maxine easily takes control again.

The turnbuckle in GameGen2.0's corner jabs Nausicaa in the spine as Maxine tags her sister, Remi into the contest. Nausicaa had fallen down to the canvas as Remi scaled the turnbuckle. Maxine assisted and turning her sister into a human dart as Remi landed on top of Nausicaa with a assisted senton. Joan looked confident on the outside that the match was about the wrap up quickly, but Nausicaa got the shoulder up at two.

Nausicaa had the heart to put up a defense and absorb the punishment Remi was dishing out the next few minutes in the match, but was not putting up any offense. This was frustrating her battered partner who was already weakened from earlier. But that didn't stop her from tagging herself into the ring the moment Nausicaa got whipped near her.

Nausicaa turned to her partner in confusion, but San merely pushed her aside and went into the frey. Remi and San scuffled in the center of the ring. But its clear San was worn out earlier in the bout, with Remi managing to duck an enzugiri and STOMPS on the side of San's skull before pulling her into a Shiraremi (Standing Sitout Shiranui)! And from this moment on, GameGen2.0 had taken complete control. Nausicaa was visibly nervous, wanting to get in to help but was still fighting with her own morals of fighting. GameGen2.0 were looking to add salt to the wound, Joan jumping up on the turnbuckle and distracting the ref by shouting who knows what. While Referee Pee Wee Moore argued with the Gamer Champ, the Bordeaux's took advantage as both began taking turns stomping away at San's torso.

Nausicaa had seen enough, rushing in and hollering at the Moore to forget about Joan. All this did, however, was direct Moore's attention to Nausicaa. Moore began hollering at her to get out of the ring, allowing. All the while GameGen2.0 had put the final nail in the coffin, going for the pin. But now Nausicaa had unintentionally distracted the ref and the pin went uncounted. Joan barged in, grabbing Moore's arm and turning him to face her for yet another lengthy rant. Moore had enough of this back and forth bickering and orders Joan to the back to the delight of the Johnstown audience. Joan tried to argue but finally stormed off to the back in frustration.

GameGen2.0 had been drawn into the argument, and as Joan head to the back Maxine and Remi were distracted enough for San to sneak up behind and lock Remi into the Urufu Rokku (Pentagram Choke)! One of the most dangerous submissions in NCW was locked onto the throat of Remi like a vise! It didn't last long, as Maxine hurried to pry San off before tossing her blindly aside.

Unfortunately for GameGen2.0, San found herself in her team's corner and Nausicaa holding her hand out for the tag. San hesitated, dreading another bout of Nausicaa getting slaughtered but tagged the Princess of The Valley of The Wind in. Nausicaa though was no longer a disappointment, bolting toward Maxine and flattening her with a dropkick. Immediately Nausicaa followed up with a Tornado DDT that ensures Maxine is seeing double for the time being. The illegal partner is thrown to the outside so Nausicaa can focus on the legal opponent.

But Remi is back to her feet after regaining her breath and delivers a RESO Spiral Noir (Ranhei)! Nausicaa rolled to the outside, but what should have been the crowning achievement for the bout would be wasted. Remi was out of any energy, the Urufu Rokku taking too much out of her. Nausicaa is seen rising, surprised to find the wrestler who should be on the offense on their hands and knees. Needing to capitalize, Nausicaa slide back into the ring and charged toward Remi, hitting her with a single hand bulldog before scaling the turnbuckle. She dropped from the skies with a Leap of Faith (Diving Headbutt) and ensured the win with a grapevine to the leg!

…

A crowd that had made assumptions was now cheering their heads off for the victors. San feebishly lifted her first in the air to signal her joy of her team winning, her partner on her knees with two arms up in the air as the team's best friend, who also was the ring announcer, made the official announcement.

"Ladies and Gentleman Your Winner of The Bout At 16:37, San & Nausicaa!" Holo announces.

"And San & Nausicaa emerge victorious! GameGen2.0 go back to the drawing board once more trying to figure out how to make an impact in NCW while the Miyazaki Maidens are now destined to meet face to face with Sweet Diva in Glasgow!" Joey exclaims.

"Oh so NOW we reveal where the match is occurring. I thought iswas going to occur in the steel mill's parking lot after this show wrapped up" Bennet stated.

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

Focus soon shifted to the next tier of the Women's Division, the Spirit Title scene. Particularly tonight's challenger Sarah Ortiz.

Ai Tanabe, the newest employee of NCW. Signed on to be finally have permanent interviewers (and to begin to give NCW a bit of its own identity for its other two interviewers are ex-ECW talent), she looks to be in the wrong galaxy. You have Ai dressed in a blue suit jacket over a white shirt, trying to stand as straight possibly….next to Sarah Ortiz who was clad in her wrestling attire that was complete with a black mask with pink trim.

"Hello Ladies and Gentleman, My Name Is Ai Tanabe Here With Former Spirit Champion Sarah Ortiz Who Looks To Be The First Woman To Hold Said Belt Two Times!" Ai shouts, seeming to have put all of her energy in that first line.

"And It Shall Be Two Times After-" Sarah begins to say, but Ai just keeps going.

"This will not mark the first time you and Lucia Sycroin have met."

"We'll, no-"

"Your first altercations came last year when she flung you around like a rag-doll to make a statement on wanting the Women's Championship."

"We'll…yeah I suppose…"

"Then last month at Rejuvenation you were decimated by her at the end of the 6 Women's Scramble."

"…that too-"

"Has that affected at all the likelihood of the outcome of tonight's bout?" Ai questioned, not pausing for a second to take a breath till she finished.

"….no" Sarah murmured, the facts making her uncertain about her chances for a few moments. But she quickly straightens up her act and puts on a more confident facade. "No! I was ill experienced last year, was just really getting started in NCW. But I feel regardless if I was the one who was the last one pinned in the Scramble, I stole the show. What does everyone talk about in that match? Sycroin winning the belt? No, they talk about how I went the distance for over over 20 minutes and eliminated 4 other wrestlers one by one. And now that tonight I will have the ring for just myself and Lucia with no other wrestlers waiting to come down that aisle, I assure you the outcome will be different. And when that bell rings, I will be going into the history books as the first ever TWO TIME Spirit Champion. And from there….well….just wait and see."

Pyrrha Nikos vs. Catherine Wilson

The show returned to the interior of the NCW Arena, with the hard camera zooming in on to the ring At 5'10, the individual's head and back was mostly shrouded in long dark hair highlighted with blue and white streaks.

"Ladies and Gentleman the following bout is scheduled for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. Introducing first, from San Diego, California, weighing in tonight at 130 lbs. This is Catherine Wilson." Holo announces to a very soft response.

"Huh, where did everyone go?" Bennett sarcastically asked.

But the crowd soon cheered, much louder than they would for Catherine at least. The viewpoint shifted to one of the manual cameras at ringside which made its way up the aisle as the stage became clad in red and gold with "Invasion" by Christian Poulet and Jean-Yves Rigo filled everyone's ears. Soon, a shower of gold sparks poured down from just below the titantron screen and cascaded onto the steel grated floor. A figure could be made out walking through under the screen, and then through the entry way just as the spars stopped falling.

"And her opponent, from Vale. She weighed in tonight at 125 lbs. This is 'The Invincible Girl', Pyrrha Nikos!" Holo announces with much more enthusiasm which doesn't go unnoticed by Catherine.

"Northern Carnage Wrestling's biggest acquisition for Electric, Pyrrha Nikos signed on in a Talent Exchange between NCW and CEW." Joey began to list off.

"And she did NOT win the World Women's Championship. She was ELIMINATED." Bennett reminded Joey. "But I'll be fair, this is her first singles contest in NCW so she can kind of-sort of reboot her early career here."

"And she will be going against Catherine Wilson, who has waited for three years to finally be on the main roster. She spent those three years weekly visiting the Blood Hall, our training facility here in downtown Johnstown. She's no pushover, we saw that in the Six Women's Scramble." Joey added, trying to balance out both sides in this match before it began.

Pyrrha had taken no time getting to the ring, sliding under the bottom purple rope and immediately going to a stance. She wasn't looking to make a show out of her entrance, but rather focused on ensuring a good first impression in her first one v one match in NCW.

Catherine looked unimpressed by Pyrrha. Rather she leaned back in the corner and just rolled her head around a little to get her mind off of the Invincible Girl's entrance. Once Pyrrha was in, Referee Troy Davis called for the bell to be ring and even as the seconds began to twiddle away, Catherine wanted to make something very clear to Pyrrha.

"Three Years I Sweated To Get In Here! I Have Been Held Back, I Have Been Oppressed By These People Just Because They Don't Like My Personality! I Am Not A Jobber, You Will Understand That As Soon As This Is Over When You Are Going To Be Made A Flash In The Pan!" The Californian bellowed as loud as she could.

Pyrrha was for the most part unfazed, she was just here to wrestler. Not get involved in some big drama-fest. Pyrrha began to take a few steps back, trying to go back to her corner but Catherine continues to agitate; with a slap to the face!

"Oh dear…Catherine, Catherine, you don't want to blow this." Bennett pleads as Pyrrha was growing unamused.

"Come On, Hit Me! I Can Take Any Sh-" Catherine continued to jabber on, but was shoved down to the mat in the corner instead!

"Too late." Joey stated, continuing off of Bennett's remarks.

Catherine's line of sight shot right back up at Pyrrha who was keeping her distance from the Californian. Catherine charged back to her feet and rushed at Pyrrha who instead diverted her into the opposing corner. Once more the Californian charged at the Invincible Girl, only this time she was hiptossed down to the mat. Catherine immediately was sent flying once more with a belly-to-belly suplex into another corner and as she struggled back to a stance had Pyrrha's knee stabbed into her jaw from a Running High Knee!

"F*** HER UP PYRRHA, F*** HER UP!" The crowd had begun to chant and making the censors scramble to do their job.

But Catherine wasn't defenseless, she used her two best friends; her fists. She wailed away at Pyrrha's head which sent the Invincible Girl into a brief retreat. Pyrrha had thrown a arm up for defense which worked great, but Catherine struck her with a discus clothesline the moment that arm came down. Pyrrha was put on wobbly legs, and soon levelled by Catherine getting another speed for a missile dropkick that sent her down into the corner of the ring.

"Catherine now on the offense, using her brawling skills to bring Pyrrha down to the mat!" Joey exclaimed as the crowd grew silent once more except for groans.

"If you call brawling a skill." Bennett deadpanned as Catherine began to stomp on Pyrrha over and over. But soon Referee Troy Davis was stepping in as it seemed Catherine was going to go on and on for eternity (more like ten seconds but still).

"ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH CATHERINE! 1, 2, 3, 4-!" Troy began shouting, Catherine breaking at the last second.

"THE HELL'S THE COUNT FOR! WE DON'T COUNT THAT IN NCW!" Catherine exclaimed.

"New Rules! Sorry!" Troy snapped back.

"THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAND OF EXTREME! I WAITED THREE YEARS AND NOW YOUR TELLING ME I CAN'T EVEN BRAW-" Catherine began to shout…

…

BEFORE BEING DECIMATED BY A MILO (Spear)!

"MILO OUTTA NOWHERE! PYRRHA SHOT OUT OF THERE LIKE A CANNON!" Joey exclaimed. "CATHERINE'S OUT, she whacked her head off the mat when she landed! She's out cold!"

Indeed she was, she wasn't moving in the slightest as Pyrrha went for the cover…

1…

…

2…

…

The crowd burst out into shocked applause as a match that seemed would have gone a steady pace abruptly cut short by arguing. Pyrrha held a hand to her head a few moments, her cranium for sure hurting from those fists. But she soon was standing over Catherine with hand raised.

"Your winner of the match at…1:35…Pyrrha Nikos!" Holo announced.

"Holy…" Bennet exclaimed. "She Killed A Jobber!"

"Maybe not have killed, but got Catherine off guard!" Joey partially agreed. "Pyrrha Nikos so the opportunity of Catherine being distracted and took advantage!"

Pyrrha didn't meander around the ring. She had come to do what she planned and was already heading back up the aisle as her music played once more. It may have been the music that finally awoke Catherine from her forced slumber. She struggled to her knees to see her opponent disappearing behind the stage. The music lifted, leaving the chattering of 4,000 people to fill her ears. But there wasn't anything good they had to say.

"jobber, jobber, Jobber, Jobber, JOBBER! JOBBER!" The crowd chanted at Catherine.

"….I'm not a jobber, I AM NOT A JOBBER!" She shouted back, visibly upset. She kicked the bottom rope and a furious glare shot at the crowd but only intensified the chants. Catherine soon stormed out of the ring, throwing her arms down as if she was about to go into a "NO!" chant.

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

Focus had shifted from Catherine's troubles to the backstage area. Pyrrha had just come off of her first singles victory in NCW and was heading to the locker room. But she was stopped in her progress by the sound of a slow and sarcastic clap…

Clap…

The Gamer Champ appeared leaning in a doorway, having been there all night it appeared. She stepped out into the hall as Pyrrha turned around to face her.

"Well, well, glad to see management ensured you didn't have to break a sweat in your first singles bout. They got to keep you lookin perfect for the cameras to sale the big bucks. In no time they shall be delivering the Spirit title through the mail. And by next month you'll have the world title handed to you on a silver platter in some over the top celebration in the ring! Then be forced to vacate it do to injury….then win it again in Ladder War by robbing the deserving challenger. Soo you'll have an ego so big you'll blow it all inside a steel cage in some crappy ballroom in the Big Apple!" She declared, but getting no response out of the statement's intended target. Pyrrha paused to hear Joan, but merely rolled her eyes and felt trying to talk to her again was pointless. The Invincible Girl began to walk away.

"What's the matter? Not even going to talk? They making you to the silent character now? Make you an even bigger Goldberg Rip-Off, I suppose. What about all of your crap about destiny from Rejuvenation? "

Pyrrha stopped once more, now growing agitated by Joan consistently pecking away at her but doesn't let it be expressed on her face.

"Don't you have a tag team to mentor?"

"What tag team?"

"The tag team YOU boast about. You know, Remi & Maxine Bordeaux, they have names aside from the recycled name of GameGen2.0 you give them. Maybe if you actually focused on tutoring them to be a tag team they would not be handed loss after loss. Maybe you need to stop playing like a broken record, or maybe they should just get a real mentor." Pyrrha stated, having looked directly into Joan's eyes to make her point simple but straightforward. "I cannot help what occurred in the past with someone who is not me, but know this. I am not going to take anything handed to me on a silver platter. I will earn it. You have my word on that."

"Your word? Your word is crap around here."

Pyrrha didn't respond, rather she continued walking on down the hall.

"You're Just A Overpowered Boss, Nothing More. Once someone finds the pattern around you, there will be no more of you!" Joan yelled at Pyrrha who still did not respond. The show from there faded to black for a commercial break.

Lucia Siycroin © vs. Sarah Ortiz- NCW Spirit Championship

After a commercial break that lasted no more than five minutes, Electric was back for the third match of the night. The camera zoomed in from a wide view of the entire arena with viewpoint from a corner that would be to the right of the hard camera. The view is zoomed in to focus on the ring as Holo stood by prepared to introduce the participants of the next bout.

"The following bout is set for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and is for the Northern Carnage Wrestling Spirit Championship!" Holo announced.

There were a few moments of quiet conversations amongst the crowd before cheers broke out. The two cylinders partially concealed within the holed pattern became pink while green strobes shot from the every growing rectangular truss underneath the titantron. "Rooftops" by Lostphrophets sounded through the audio system within the NCW Arena, updated for sure thanks to having a blank check from Turner Broadcasting. And out through the pink and green haze of color was an individual clad in black mask and attire reminiscent of a certain controversial luchadora. All of which had a pink outline.

"Introducing first the challenger, from San Diego, California. She weighed in tonight at 110 lbs. This is the Female Enigma, Sarah Ortiz!" Holo introduced.

"It was last month at Rejuvenation where Sarah Ortiz had the bad luck of drawing number one for a 6 Woman Scramble that turned into being a gauntlet match. Nevertheless she persevered and proved to the wrestling world was not going to be stuck in middle with clowns and jokers…" Joey began to state.

"Only to keel over at the end to who? To Who? Her opponent tonight. I don't know why Sarah thinks she has a chance. The last singles match these two had was back in 2016 and saw Lucia tossing this Sexy Star-clone around the ring like some ragdoll. She was decimated by the Last of the Sycroins in less than two minutes last month at Rejuvenation, so what has changed Joey, what has changed?" Bennett questioned while the camera trailed Sarah who had sprinted to the ring. She slid under the bottom rope and stopped herself by grabbing a hold of the ropes on the opposite side of the squared circle.

"Sooner or later her resilience will pay off." Joey declared.

"Oh, sooner or later? Yeah, and you can punch your way through piece of Azbantium…after 2 billion years!" Bennet exclaimed.

The music was cut as the lights were briefly restored to their default settings. Sarah stepped into position in a corner of the ring. Soon the lights went dark and all that illuminated the arena were the sporadic white flashes from the lighting truss above the ring.

An icy blue lights flickered on the rectangular steel truss that made up the portal directly below the titantron. The crowd was eerily quiet, not out of lack of interest of respect but in a bit of fear of Sarah's opponent. On cue, the cylinder towers gradually begin to glow blue also as "Plague" by Crystal Castles began to play. Fog rolled in from either direction in front of the portal giving the viewer at home a chilling blur of blue and white.

A 1/3rd of the crowd broke out into cheers but the majority booed when a figure began to appear in the fog. The figure soon stepped out into full view with a black belt containing a large circular silver main plate, with Spirit etched in cursive red. The NCW logo prominently displayed on either side plate that was in the shape of keystones. And the wearer of the belt had nothing more than a stoic expression while slowly making their way to the ring.

"And her opponent, weighing in at 125 lbs., She is The Last of The Sycroin Race and the NCW Spirit Champion, This Is Lucia Sycroin!" Holo announced before stepping out of the ring.

"Jeez, she gives me the creeps." Bennett shuttered as Lucia continued to the ring. "Lucia is one of the scariest wrestlers competing today. She has just two modes; freakishly stoic and unattached, then homicidal rage!"

"Sarah's going to have to neutralize Lucia early, ensure she doesn't have a chance to go for Andromeda Stretch. One of the most dangerous submissions in the entire company. But there are so many other weapons Lucia got, she is a powerhouse and will bruise her opponent by any means." Joey declared.

Lucia grabbed a hold of the ropes and pulled herself up on the apron, staring right at Sarah. Eye contact is not broken as Lucia weaves through the ropes and comes to stand dead center in the ring. The lights were restored to their default setting as the fog began to dissipate. Lucia though still kept here sight locked on the challenger, handing the championship to Senior Official John Finnegan.

Both Lucia and Sarah were in opposite corners when the bell rang. The wrestlers charged out of the gates with a full head of steam before locking up on top of the NCW Electric logo sewn into the canvas. They seemed to spiraled around in one complete rotation while jockeying for position but it was Lucia who ruled, throwing Sarah back into a corner. Sarah charged back Lucia, only being directed into the opposite corner. This time, however, Sarah jumped up on top of the turnbuckle and jumped back with a moonsault. The moonsault missed, however, as Lucia rushed toward the same corner. Sarah managed to land on her feet and delivered a dropkick to the oncoming champion in the manner of Finn Balor. Lucia's spine connected with the middle turnbuckle, but her hands latches on to the top rope to keep her from falling.

But she needed to act fast, The Female Enigma was bolting toward her for a running high kick. Lucia rushes around Sarah, whose foot connected with the top turnbuckle. Sarah backed up RIGHT into a german suplex! The luchardora rolled over herself before coming to rest next to the ropes. Sarah took a few moments before she starting to pull herself back to her feet; however Lucia rushed up and began to smash her knees into Sarah's ribs. To make matters worse for Sarah, Finnegan was being rather lenient with the rules because it was a championship match, allowing the onslaught to continue longer than it should.

Sarah from then on was fighting an uphill battle trying to get into the match as Lucia seemed to ensure she threw the luchadora into each set of ropes and all four corner of the ring. It was only back luck that Sarah bolted out of the corner to avoid the ram that Lucia had become, the champion's shoulder striking the steel ring post. Sarah took this opportunity to start weakening Lucia by stomping down on the back of her calves. Sarah and Lucia continued to fight around the ring, before Lucia was ultimately clotheslined to the outside.

A unique opportunity was being provided to Sarah, as Lucia struggled to get to her feet while leaning against the barricade on the outside. Sarah began to hurry back to the opposite ropes, sprinting across the length of the ring…

…

BEFORE BOWING LUCIA'S SPINE OVER THE BARRICADE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE OVER THE ROPES AND TO THE OUTSIDE!

"Bueco Suicida, Oh Dios Mío!" Joey exclaimed.

Has Lucia buckled and caved down to the unprotected floor, Sarah leaned back against the ring apron and tried to regain some energy. She pursued a crawling Lucia, stomping on her back before trying to throw her shoulders first into the barricade. But Lucia's feet become solid rocks, and a few elbows cut into the weakened ribs of Sarah. The luchardoa had to get some distance from Lucia, who now gave Sarah a hard kick in the gut before trying to go for some form of suplex. Sarah though blocks, trying a suplex of her own that also blocked. Ultimately Lucia gains power and pounds the side of Sarah's head into the ring post.

The match shifted back into the ring, Lucia trying to wear her opponent down for the next few minutes. But Sarah was consistently trying to wiggle herself out of Lucia's grasp and had brief moments of offense. She finally managed to duck an oncoming big boot, rebounding off the ropes and landing on top of Lucia with a springboard moonsault. Lucia is grounded long enough for her to rebound off the opposite rope with another springboard moonsault before going for a pin attempt.

1…

…

2…

….

2.18 only for Lucia to kick out.

Sarah had to keep the offense going, and hoped to repeat what had been effective earlier. Lucia soon was tossed out to the floor and Sarah sprinted as fast as her two feet would allow, jumping over the top rope…

….

…

UNFORANTULEY LANDING RIGHT INTO LUCIA'S CLUTCHES WHO THROWS SARAH BACK FIRST ON THE SOLID MASS THAT IS THE CONCRETE FLOOR WITH A BLACK HOLE SLAM!

"OH MY GOD!" Joey screamed.

"Life As Sarah Knows It Just Came To A Sudden Halt!" Bennett exclaimed as the crowd popped in shock and a bit of horror for some feared the back of Sarah's skull at also smacked into the floor.

"NC DUB! NC DUB! NC DUB! NC DUB! NC DUB! NC DUB! NC DUB!" chants echoed throughout the area, but probably all Sarah could ear was a consistent ping after meeting the unforgiving floor of the NCW Arena.

Lucia also was sprawled out on the floor, but she was motionless more to take advantageous of the situation and muster up enough strength for the remainder of the match.

"Sarah Ortiz I fear may have smacked her head off of the floor also, If that be the case, Sarah may very well be out cold!" Joey exclaimed.

"That would be the least of her problems, at least should would not realize she lost to Lucia yet again." Bennet declared.

Sarah had been motionless save for her hands now retracting to the rear of her skull. Lucia on the other hand had a hand on the top of the barricade and was winching herself back to her feet. The Last of the Sycroins found she had a defenseless opponent and threw said individual back into the ring.

"PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!" The crowd chanted in fear of Sarah's wellbeing. Lucia slid under the bottom rope. But she didn't have a clear view of Sarah, for John Finnegan was leaning over asking Sarah over and over for some type of clear response if she could continue. Each time he asked, he didn't get a clear answer and soon was fearing the worse. He looked to be about to call for the bell…

…

WHEN LUCIA SHOVED FINNEGAN ASIDE AND STOMPED DIRECTLY ON TOP OF SARAH'S HEAD OVER AND OVER!

"Lucia Driving Her Foot, Compressing The Skull Of The Luchadora!" Joey exclaimed in horror.

"She's Going To Implode Sarah's Skull!" Bennett shrieked as Lucia continued to drop the boot on top of Sarah's head over and over. Finnegan demanded for Lucia to stop or else he was going to call the match off (to boos from the crowd) but Lucia shouted back.

"No, I Finish It Completely!"

Lucia stopped stomping on the head of Sarah, dragging the seemingly unconscious Sarah up in the air and executing a second Black Hole Slam!

"And A Encore Of The Black Hole Slam! That Does It, Its Over! Sarah Has Fallen To The Might Of The 5 Foot Three Powerhouse!" Joey yelled as Lucia covered Sarah, even grapevining the legs….

1…

…

2…

…

THR-NO! A weak shoulder of the luchadora managed to get off the mat and thus stopping the count!

"Wait a minute, Sarah still is in this!" Joey exclaimed.

Lucia got to her feet, a bit dumbfounded that Sarah even had the will to continue fighting. Sarah slowly rose back to a stance, getting her fists up as if challenging Lucia to throw a punch.

"I have a feeling that'll end shortly." Bennett replied as Lucia began to fire away with a series of rights.

But Sarah was managing to hold her ground, although each punch put her on increasingly shakier legs before ultimately being backed into the ropes. Lucia threw the luchadora across the ring with an irish whip…

…

But Sarah rebounded, ducking under a clothesline…

…

And charged back at the Sycroin to execute a sling blade! And that wasn't all as a groggy Sarah dragged herself to the corner. She took time scaling the turnbuckle even though it was clear she wished to go quicker. Lucia was up to her feet and about to rush toward Sarah when The Female Engima dropped down on top of her with a diving dropkick!

The crowd had completely swung behind Sarah as the Spirit Champion collapsed from the kick. Sarah mustered up enough energy to pull Lucia in position for the Angelic Splash (Frog Splash)…

…

Which Was Performed To Perfection! Sarah landed dead center onto Lucia and had her covered…

1..

…

2…

…

2.999 but Lucia kicks out!

"No! The Champion's Shoulders Are Up At The Last Possible Moment!" Joey exclaimed.

"I'll be honest; I thought Sarah had made a turnaround! But she's so rattled in the head she forgot to hook the legs!" Bennett pointed out.

Sarah's face was obstructed by her mask, but it was clear she was furious; she should be having her hand raised and being declared 2-time Spirit Champion. But the time keeper was still keeping track of the ongoing clock, and Sarah needed to find an alternative to bring Lucia down.

She tried for one, as another minute went by with Sarah trying to weaken the neck region of Lucia even through a few instances of the Last of Her Kind tried to fight back. Sarah soon seemed prepared to break out her other finisher. Trying to pull Lucia into a standing butterfly, but Lucia would have none of it. It was clear the momentum had transferred from challenger back to champion as the butterfly crumbled…

…

And Buried 6 Feet Under With Kiss And Torment (Reverse STO)!

"Kiss And Torment, Sarah's World Is Spinning…." Joey stated as Lucia pinned the challenger for her championship…

1..

…

2…

…

The bell sounded thrice to mark the end of the grueling bout, and Sarah's body seemed to have completely relaxed knowing it was over. Lucia was on all fours the moment the bell rang, taking a few deep breaths to try and regain her strength before pushing herself back to her feet as Finnegan raised her arm in victory and returned her championship.

"Ladies and Gentleman your winner of the bout at 14:41 and STILL NCW Spirit Champion, Lucia Sycroin!" Holo announced to a mixed, almost miserable response.

"And the Spirit Championship will remain around the waist of the Last of the Sycroians….for ever….and ever…..and ever….and ever…..and ever….and ever." Bennett began to repeat over and over.

"Alright, alright. I think you made your point, Bennett." Joey said.

"….and ever…"

Lucia stared down at her rival who was deprived of all her stamina. One final stomp on the head marked who reigned supreme between the two before Lucia departed to the back.

(Lighting Transition)

After a lighting light transition we are directed somewhere way in the back of the NCW Arena; in the interior part of the parking lot where the late spring air was blowing in from the outside. The camera is shaking all around as the cameraman is following an individual who we soon see is Ai Tanabe with microphone in hand hurrying up to intercept the victorious Miyazaki Maidens who were heading out of the NCW Arena.

"Oh dear." San could be heard grumbling as she and Nausicaa paused knowing they were going to be unable to escape questions from the promotion's newest interviewer.

"Please, I assure you two this will take no more than a few minutes." Ai assured, inserting microphone between San & Nausicaa.

"We are two individuals with polarizing personalities, and to be honest there have been cases where we have been at each other's throats. Tonight though, we finally connected as one single unit and when we are a single unit it is clear we are a force to be reckoned with." Nausicaa declared.

"…and it was the Bordeaux's so it wasn't that hard." San added.

The duo were about to continue, but there attention changed when bright lights struck their eyes. San and Nausicaa held their arms up to shield their eyes as Ai and the cameraman backed away. Focus shifted to the blur of two orbs that once the camera focused were revealed to be the headlights of a white limousine. The almost alien vehicle made a wide turn in the garage before coming to a stop. The driver soon stepped out and walked parallel with the limo to the back door that he quickly opened.

And who was to come out of the limo? None other than the Auburn Beauty and leader of the Sophisticated Beauty, Selena Richardson, who was decked out in a fine sparkling red dress that made her stick out like a sore thumb in the grungy dimly light parking garage she had found herself in. Soon, her fellow members of the Sophisticated Beauty, Sweet Diva, emerged. Both Elena and Sakura where clad in their Berserk Gym jackets.

Memories of the previous Fiction Wrestling Awards came flowing through San's mind the moment she saw the trio step out of the limo. If had not been for these three, San and Nausicaa could have won the Best of the Best Tag Team Rumble, but instead interference from Sophisticated Beauty saw San and Nausicaa be forgotten the shuffle.

Nausicca held her arm out in front of San, hoping to quell any violence which San sure wished to inflict upon any one of the three 'gifted' talents in front of her.

Selena eyed both of Sana and Nausicaa before scoffing slightly and having only a few words.

"Who the hell do you two think you are?" Selena asked. "Come on girls, let's go break some hearts."

Selena walked off, leaving Sweet Diva and the Miyazaki Maidens coming face to face. Nausicaa and San were serious, San ready to rip open one of the two foes. But Sweet Diva had a smirk of confidence that would make anyone want to punch the grin off their face.

'Come Along Now!" Selena could be heard yelling out of view. Sweet Diva quickly turned away from the Maidens as if they didn't even exist, and followed their leader into the NCW Arena. Leaving Nausicaa with a glare while San looked ready to attack the next living thing that dares come toward her. And a emotional fueled standoff like this was of course followed up by some commercials about who knows what, Mtn. Dew Kickstart or something.

Electric returned from whatever the hell the advertisers where trying to sale you. We find ourselves back in the interview area with Ai Tanabe.

"Ladies and Gentleman, Ai Tanabe Here Again With A Young Lady Who Will Be Heading To The Ring In A Short Moment. That Is Evelyn Cano!" Ai states in a very loud and upbeat tone that made it clear she was trying just a bit too hard but we can't help but shake our heads in amusement.

Evelyn stepped within the view of the camera, already dressed in ring attire but having a pink jacket with the pattern of a butterfly in silver gems on the back.

"After Rejuvenation you find yourself in a match with Coco Bandicoot, both of you failed to capture the NCW World Women's Championship. If you beat a former world and tag champion tonight, would you hope this places you in line for at least a future title shot at the Spirit Championship….even with the calculated Lucia Sycroin holding the championship." Ai questioned….voice being taken over by the fear of anyone having to face Lucia.

"My end goal is the World Women's Championship…and hopefully I don't get stampeded over by the rest of the locker room going to answer Tsubaki's open challenge." Evelyn softly replied with a smile. "It would be great though to build a legacy before getting to that point…of course after seeing what Sarah had to go through tonight I'm not sure if I want to be running head first into a meat grinder if I get through Coco who she too is dangerous. I know it well she has been looking to rebuild her career for years since WrestleWars II."

"Are You Done?" Someone asked out of view.

The camera whipped to the right where we found Velvet House standing there with arms crossed and an impatient tapping of the foot to go along with her frustrated expression.

"There was a time in this company that there was once single name that ruled this place. That name was House. H.O.U.S.E. From Lemon Brook, USA, the most feared and vilified quartet. Myself, My Sister Lillian, My Brothers Jack and Chris….but now everyone treats us as some relic of the past minus my brother, who wasn't even feared and just about anyone could walk all over him. The fans now see us as an oddity. Thanks to another name…..Alvarez, or in your case Cano! You give everyone the soft, kind treatment while rubbing those jugs of yours together to get more bang for your buck, to get put in matches you don't belong in. I built this place, my sister built this place, my brothers built this place, the Houses built NCW from the ground up into the land of carnage it is today…just to have it corrupted by a bunch of free loaders like you who are riding off the fact you deserve an 'equal opportunity'! Get out of this place; you are not going to wreak the benefits of what people like me have worked hard for the past four-five years! Pack your bags and go back to wherever the hell you come from!" Velvet shouted, clearly striking a chord with Evelyn who in an instant was rushing toward the RR Member and was only stopped by the rookie interviewer trying to step in.

"No-no-no, fighting her is just going to make her as worse as you! You got a match to be in, Coco Bandicoot is a much more worthy opponent than this Velvet." Ai pleaded to Evelyn, who took a step back and appeared to have gotten her senses back together and was heading off to the entry way.

Velvet's eyes were filled with the frustration that had seemed to boiled into hatred over the past few years, glaring at Evelyn as she walked off. She let loose some frustration by shoving Ai back, causing the NCW Electric sign hanging in the interview area to swing.

"Interjecting yourself into other people's business is just going to make your life here a living hell! Stop trying to protect the weak like Evelyn!" Velvet hollered at Ai, who held an arm up a bit fearful of what Velvet might do next. But the House merely could be heard seething a few moments before storming off.

Evelyn Cano vs. Coco Bandicoot

The lightning bolt sequence returned us to the interior of the arena where almost immediately the lights in the arena and within the two cylinder towers flanking the entry portal and titantron switched to pink. All the while "Comatose" by Skillet was played. Evelyn Cano stormed out through the rectangular steel trusses and was clearly livid after hearing what Velvet hollered at her. There was no attempt at being her kind loving self; she was all business at the moment.

"The following bout is scheduled for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. Introducing first, from San Antonio, Texas. She weighed in at 118 lbs. This is Evelyn Cano!" Holo announced to a cheer from the NCW Faithful.

"….Uh…..we apologize for Velvet House going off on a tangent. Hopefully Evelyn will be able to recompose herself by the time Coco is out here also." Joey states.

"Why? This Is Northern CARNAGE Wrestling, dammit. I signed up to scream vulgarity at the sight of someone getting their body smashed through a freakin table. We haven't gotten any of that tonight, yes Evelyn. Channel that rage, beat the living daylights out of the washed up Bandicoot! It's Take A Wrestler Home Night At NCW, Toss Coco So Far Out Into The Crowd She Lands In Philly!" Bennett exclaimed.

"….oh….kay then…." Joey hesitantly replied. "I can see you went off your meds this week."

"No, but you know who is off their meds?"

"Who?"

"Christopher House."

"…..wrong show!" Joey shouted.

"What, Critic does Prime. I have to make a jab or two myself!"

As Bennett's quarrel drove Joey off the topic at hand, Evelyn Cano had already made it to the ring and was preparing for the oncoming match while in her corner.

The lights shifted from pink to orange with green strobes. "Obsolete" by Prexowhy?Gen Began to play. A pop for the veteran came from the crowd as Evelyn's opponent stepped out through the rectangular steel trusses.

"And her opponent, from the Wumpa Islands. She weighed in tonight at 111lbs. This Is Coco Bandicoot!" Holo announced.

Everything was going at an even pace, with Evelyn in fact getting a slight advantageous over Coco…

….

…

Until a chorus of boos suddenly came from the crowd, causing the camera shift an focus in on Velvet House who just walked out onto the stage!

"Wait, now-now…Velvet is out here. She isn't even scheduled to be here." Joey exclaimed.

"Oh and that's going to stop her? She built this company, she has a right to come out and watch a match or two. It's fine." Bennett replied.

"Oh you know damn well she's out here to draw Evelyn's attention. It isn't some Sunday picnic she is on!" Joey shouted.

And Velvet wasn't just staying put within the steel rectangles. She was making her way down the ramp and was consistently shouting who knows what about Evelyn or herself. Evelyn was keeping a constant eye on her, and the closer Velvet got the less focus Evelyn had on the match.

Soon, Velvet was at the ring, slamming the mat and audible shouting sarcastically. "YEAH LET'S CHEER FOR THE THIEF! CHEER AS SHE TAKES THE SPOTLIGHT AWAY FROM THE WHOLESOME FAMILY THAT CONSTRUCTED THIS PLACE! WHILE WE BLEED AND SWEAT JUST TO GET THIS COMPANY OVER, SHE AND THE REST OF HER FAMILY SIT ON THEIR A**SES STEALING OUR SPOTLIGHT AND OUR PAYCHECKS!"

Everything spiraled out of control from there. Evelyn had been looking to go for a running clothesline to Coco but instead rushed right passed her opponent and shot right down on top of Velvet! Evelyn and Velvet's brawled quickly spilled up the aisle with Velvet going back first into the barricade. Velvet got a single kick off allowing her to be able to flee into the audience. The Latina Diva was in hot pursuit, jumping over the barricade and pushing her way through the condensed crowd.

The hard camera briefly caught Referee Troy Davis calling for the bell knowing the match wasn't going to continue. Coco could also be seen leaving the ring and possibly going to pursue Velvet also for ruining the match (there was still bad blood between the Bandicoots and Houses from Crash vs Chris's rivalry after all). The camera soon jerked rather unprofessionally to the left, trying to keep up with the chase until the cameraman would be able to get through the sea of nutty fans. The crowd was making all sorts of noises, primarily the command of "KILL THE HOUSE! KILL THE HOUSE! KILL THE HOUSE!"

"All Hell Is Breaking Loose….Again." Joey deadpanned. "We apologize for such a crappy view."

"Yeah, looks like a freaking Central Park Media is taping this event!" Bennett cried out. "I don't get why someone with such intelligence like Velvet is hitting and running!"

Soon Velvet had reached the hockey boards that completely wrapped around the arena and divided the cheap seats from the semi-cheap seats. But instead of running she was backing herself up to the boards as Evelyn emerged, charging right at Velvet…

…

AND RIGHT INTO THE TRAP OF THE HOUSES AS LILLIAN HOUSE CAME FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE CROWD WITH A CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!

"LILLIAN HOUSE! LILLIAN HOUSE TURNING EVELYN INSIDE OUT! IT WAS A SET UP! A DAMN TRAP!" Joey exclaimed.
"There it is! I knew Velvet hadn't gone off the deep end…yet…" Bennett stated.

"F*** THE HOUSES! F*** THE HOUSES! F*** THE HOUSES!" chants rang out through the NCW Arena, something that had not been heard in this building for quite a few years.

It was a complete mugging as Velvet and Lillian united against Cano, whipping her back first into the hockey boards several times before going to the ribs.
"YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!" Velvet was heard shouting at Evelyn yet again, hoping her heels caved in the Latina Diva's rib cage to the dismay of the hostile audience now edging closure and closure to the seen.

"GET THE F*** OFF HER YOU B***!" A fan could be heard yelling while another shouting back YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE!" right back at the Houses.

It was at this time Coco Bandicoot arrive on the scene, trying to inject herself into the fray to keep Evelyn from being decimated any further. It helped Evelyn….for the moment…as it soon turned into a 2 on 1 situation.

"House vs Bandicoot! House vs Bandicoot! Most storied rivalry in NCW between the Bandicoots and the Houses is being reignited here tonight!" Joey exclaimed.

"I thought the Bandicoots won that! Instead all I see is the Houses dominating and retaking the company they built by force!" Bennett declared.

Coco soon was on her knees as Lillian drove her knee right into the spine of Coco. Velvet went back to ensuring Evelyn would be have to carried out of the NCW Arena in a stretcher…

…

UNTIL HOLLY STORM, WHO MUST HAVE ALSO BEEN ATTENDANCE SOMEWHERE, RUSHES IN AND BEGINS CRACKING A SINGAPORE CANE OVER THE BACKS OF BOTH HOUSES!

"Wait, THAT'S HOLLY STORM! She Wasn't Scheduled TO Be Here Either! Holly I Know Helped Train Evelyn In The Old FTW Now SPARK! She Coming to Save Her Friend and Trainee I'm Assuming!" Joey exclaimed.

"She Raided The Local Kendo Gy-….Johnstown Don't Got A Kendo Gym! Get The Houses Some Kendōgu, Stat!" Bennett exclaimed.

The Houses had a barrage of cane shots fall down upon their skin, for sure to cause welts in a few minutes. Even as Velvet and Lillian appeared to be retreating toward the back, Holly was not letting up one bit. It seemed the further she moved away from the seen the more rapid the shots were. Lillian and Velvet hurdled over the hockey boards and scrambled toward one of the entry portals leading out to the concourse of the NCW Arena. A spotlight soon shined in their eyes trying to following the running battle. Velvet managed to flee while Lillian ate at least a half a dozen more of cane shots from the Singapore Cane Storm following right behind her. Holly stopped in the entry portal as fans watched from above the Houses flee out of sight.

The cameraman had finally caught up with the action, which had now evaporated into the air. The only shot he managed to get was of Holly staring down the walkway leading out into the concourse of the arena, the image a bit blurry for the spotlight hanging in the center of the arena shining down on her. The Production Truck wisely decided to let things cool off with a commercial break.

Amber Vignette

After returning from commercial break, we are giving a dark screen as red flashes pulse to the sound of a heartbeat. And soon, more bizarre language can be heard that someone would have to hear a few times to understand.

Ecaf deracs nda evarb a sah laudividni yreve

Sti ysae ot tup no eht evarb ecaf

Ti sedih tuo deracs ecaf

Hcihw face selur ouy

The hearbeat intensified with each word, causing the flashes of red to pulsate more and more till the entire screen was red and the name "Amber" carved through in black.

AMBER

In Action Next Week!

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

From that the show returns to the NCW Arena, things having calmed down somewhat after the brawl premeditated by Team Whiteout. Everything was now set for the main event of the night. It would be the newest World Women's Champion defending against…..who knows!

The Nathan Sharp cover of "Resonance" blasted through the PA system in the NCW Arena as the cylinders switched to yellow, white strobes flickering wherever in the building as the thin but tall Demon Shadow Weapon stepped out from under the titantron with the gold championship belt wrapped around her waist.

"It is main event time on NCW Electric, the 9th NCW World Women's Champion is making her way to the ring at this time. Entering number 14 in the 20 Women Royal Rumble last month at Rejuvenation, one of the constants in Northern Carnage Wrestling at long last has gold to show for the years she has stayed put in the land of carnage. We were told tonight Tsubaki would be holding an open challenge for anyone in the back." Joey stated.

"AKA Tsubaki is going to cause an impromptu marathon to get to the ring." Bennett added.

"Well. Maybe that too." Joey replied as the upbeat Tsubaki slid into the ring and quickly rushed up onto the top turnbuckle, proudly displaying the championship high in the air for all too see.

The pomp and circumstance soon faded as Tsubaki returned to the center of the ring, with microphone in hand. She was about to speak, but realized the fans were not done making noise yet.

The new chant that had begun at Rejuvenation, being based off of a similar local chant that occurred every Sunday fifty miles to the west.

"Here We Go Tsubaki, Here We Go! Here We Go Tsubaki, Here We Go!" Was shouted over and over by 3/4s of the fans in the NCW Arena, many waving new rally towels that were being sold at the merchandise stands solely for Tsubaki in yellow or black coloring. The chants persisted for another minute before Tsubaki was able to begin speaking.

"Thank you for that. I….I've been told since No Way Out last year, I've had people come up to me applauding me for the match. I would ask why, we lost the match. It was because they claimed I was the only one who kept a level mindset through all of the drama involved with my team…..It might also have to do with the fact I was ripped to shreds by glass shards." Tsubaki began with, hesitant to talk about the last part which the crowd cheered for out of respect for what Tsubaki had to endure inside Lethal Lockdown. "It still hurts like hell a year later….but nevertheless I took the punishment and went down swinging, just like I have done for years here in NCW. I seem to have been in the shadows for much of my time here but nevertheless saw many of the craziest things occur. If anything, I'm the one who should be questioned on my sanity." That line made her grin a it to abit of laughter from the crowd. "Then Rejuvenation occurred….and I'm going to be honest…winning a match like that is 50% Endurance and 50% Luck. I entered at 14 and indeed had the endurance to withstand 19 other women till the very end…and I also go a lot of lucky rebounds and lucky eliminations and lucky positions. It is for that reason….I-I do not feel I rightfully won this championship…"

The crowd were in disagreement however; booing as Tsubaki hung her head a bit while holding the championship up once more.

"So in order to prove to myself and any critic out there I do deserve this championship I will be defending it each and every week so long as I am champion!" Tsubaki declared to a pop from the crowd.

"Every Week?" Joey questioned.

"She has seen too many crazy things, its made her go insane!" Bennett declared.

"So ever week, I will give anyone in the locker room a fair chance to take this belt from me. And I mean anyone. Be it Katara, be it Joan, be it Pyrrha, be it Selena, be it Lucia, be it Asui, be it ANYONE, ANYONE who wants this championship, come and take it!" Tsubaki declared, dropping the microphone and holding the championship high in the air with both hands while bouncing between the two ropes.

"Well you heard it from Tsubaki, open challenge every week for EVERYONE!" Joey reiterated as Tsubaki handed the championship to Senior Official John Finnegan and awaited who the first challenger in this open challenge would be.

And the inaugural challenger would be…

…

….

…

….

…

If Only I Could Be More Entranced

Chasing My Dream Every Day

Ah, I Could Be Proud With My Flowing Tears!
"Beautiful Dreamer" by Kyōko Narumi played, which was received by universal hatred and profanity. The cylinders altered between red and white as possibly the second most vilified wrestler on Electric (2nd for we all know Joan is number one) stepped out onto the stage. Her name, the Auburn Beauty Selena Richardson.

"Well, she said anyone." Joey reiterated.

"She stated Selena, too. Ask and you shall receive Tsuba-….wait….she going to wrestle like that?" Bennett questioned.

And he had good meaning to do so because on further examination, Selena was still draped in her finest red dress. And was not bothering taking her time getting to the ring, taking one agonizingly slow step at a time. She just stared right at the champion who looked just as confused as everyone in the NCW Arena. Here is the leader of the Sophisticated Beauty, making a slow walk to the ring and appearing to have no interest in wrestling…

…

Then a smirk grew on Selena's face…

…

And Moments Later Tsubaki Tumbled To Canvas After Sakura Hagiwara and Elena Miyazawa Jumped Her From Behind!

"SWEET DIVA! We Saw Them Earlier! THEY SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT SAN AND NAUSICAA AND NOT THE CHAMPION!" Joey shouted in disgust as the crowd were growing agitated by seeing the second assault tonight.

"SOPHISTICATED SLUTS! SOPHISTICATED SLUTS! SOPHISTICATED SLUTS!" The crowd repeated over and over, Sakura and Elena ignoring.

Four feet were unloading down upon the champion, particularly going after the knees. Every strike was going after the underside of the knees. IT seemed to go on forever and ever for Tsubaki and the crowd watching but it was just 40 seconds according to the atomic clocks. John began hollering at Sweet Diva to stop, and shockingly enough they complied. Elena stepped out of the ring and began to head up the aisle before standing side by side with Selena, Sakura meanwhile unzipped and threw her Berserk Gym jacket off and was clearly the only one of the trio prepared to wrestle. The Pop Idol stepped back into a corner and was tugging on the ropes, impatiently waiting for John Finnegan to call for the bell to start the match.

"Tsubaki, do you want to go through with the match?!" John asked the battered champion, who had pulled herself to safety in the corner but wasn't on her feet yet.

"…."

"Tsubaki, yes or no? I can call this all of-"

"YES! OF COURSE YES! RING THE FREAKIN BELL!" Tsubaki could be heard shouting, trying to get to her feet.

John stepped back to the corner, hesitated at first before calling for the bell to signal the start of the match.

The opening few minutes of the match went the way everyone was dreading. Sakura burst forward and drilled Tsubaki spine first into the turnbuckle with a running dropkick before wailing away. As much as people bash Sakura about her pop idol pass, she could have moments of being a powerhouse. As demonstrated by a variety of suplexes she used to toss Tsubaki all around the ring. She was also very calculative with her knees, driving her knee on numerous occasions into the into the jaw of the champion or driving her knee into the back of Tsubaki with a backbreaker. High knees sent Tsubaki to eating the canvas over and over.

"YOUR S***, AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE! YOUR S***, AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE!" The crowd chanted over and over at Sakura nevertheless, even with the variation of moves she was using to punish the beloved champion with.

Sakura soon sent Tsubaki rolling out to the floor after a Pele Kick, Tsubaki retracting her arms over her head while doing so.

"Tsubaki's world is being turned upside so quick its making even me nauseous!" Bennett declared. "…yeah got a doggy bag, Joey?"

"No, I got a word for you to learn instead."

"What's that?"
"Professionalism!"

Sakura was starting to get riled up by hearing the crowd consistently shun her performance.

"HOW MANY OF YOU ARE BLIND!?" Sakura shouted.

"JUST YOU!" A fan could be heard shouting back in response from fan in particular in the front row with one of the yellow Tsubaki Rally Towels.

Sakura slid to the outside, giving a stomp to Tsubaki for good measure before glaring at the Tsubaki fan. Snagging the towel from indivudal, Sakura briefly examined it before scoffing.

"You Wasted 5 Dollars On This? This Is Only Worth Enough To Wipe My Boots!" Sakura, which the former tag champion proceeded to do. Placing her foot up on the barricaded, she gave her white wrestling boots a nice shine. She did so with both, taking her time before stomping the towel on the floor and kicking it off tot eh side.

"I think that's enough time wasted…" Joey deadpanned…

…

Right Before Tsubaki Grabbed Sakura By The Waist And Slammed Into The Concrete With A German Suplex!

"Tsubaki Using The Shoe Polishing Time To Muster Up The Strength To Get Back Into This!" Joey exclaimed.

"How Dare Her Attack Someone While They Innocently Polish Their Boots!" Bennett sarcastically shouted at the sight of the whole incident.

And from there, it seemed Tsubaki begun to build a bit of momentum. Soon it grew from a german suplex to a toss into the barricades. And from there, pouring back into the ring where a diving leg drop gained a two count. Sakura was fighting the power shift tooth and nail, but ultimately each punch of hers grew less effective while Tsubaki seemed to increase in strength. Tsubaki used an assortment of kicks, fighting fire with fire that sliced into the sides of Sakura's midsection. Sakura was on shaky legs a few minutes down the line, which Tsubaki slashed at with some form of a low swinging kick that was almost like a buzzsaw.

Tsubaki made an attempt for an irish whip but within an instant Sakura had held on to the arm, pulling into to a hammerlock that transitioned into the Saku Buster (Hammerlock Argentine Backbreaker transitioned into the facebuster) that changed hope to dread in the crowd.

"The Saku Buster, the momentum just went back to the beautiful darling with the cringiest scream." Bennett decreed.

Sakura was hunched over, breathing heavily. Tsubaki was truggling to her feet also while favoring the head once more. Sakura grabbed hold of the arm of the World Women's Champion, tying it into a chicken wing.

"Chicken Wing locked on, Sakura's going for the Misaki Special! If This Connects We Might See One Of Wrestling's Biggest Upsets!" Joey exclaimed in shock of thinking of a world where Sakura would be champion…

…

But Tsubaki dropped herself down to the mat, bringing Sakura down with her and breaking the chicken wing….

…

And Tsubaki Cinched In A Figure Four!

"Figure-Figure Four! Oh Dear, Oh WHOOO!" Bennett shouted as Sakura's face was controlled by horror. Tsubaki had one of the oldest but most effective submissions in wrestling locked tight. Sakura slammed her fists on the canvas, trying to find some way to allow the pain to escape her body. Tsubaki had hold of one of the legs, pulling back a far as she could while her crossed legs were destroying the other.

Sakura noticed how close she was to the ropes, and began dragging herself closer and closer to the ropes. Tsubaki tried to intensify the pain to force Sakura to break before getting to the ropes, pushing herself off the ground and now making the Figure Four A Figure Eight!

But Sakura got to the ropes before her mind was consumed by agonizing pain! John Finnegan called for the rope break which Tsubaki complied with and soon retracted her knees back and was noticeably favoring them.

"The assault from earlier had targeted the knees….and even though Tsubaki was executing the figure four, some of the pain Sakura's experience may have also been felt by the champion." Joey observed.

Tsubaki would have continued to favor the knees but Sakura was beginning to get back to her feet, pulling herself up by the ropes…

…

AND TSUBAKI ULIMTATLEY DID SAKURA IN WITH A STAR BREAKER (Double Knee Facebuster)!

"STAR BREAKER! Sakura's Jaw Has Just Been Broken!" Joey exclaims.

"Yeah well how much will that take on Tsubaki's knees in the future?" Bennet questioned, pointing out Tsubaki fidgeting with her one knee briefly before pinning Sakura…

The bell sounded as the crowd cheered for once not seeing a upset. As Tsubaki still favored her knees, her look darted right up the aisle at Elena and Selena, who had stayed to watch the fight. What business did the Sweet Diva have getting involved with the world title picture? Were they just cannon fodder for Selena or legitimately going for gold?

"Your winner of the match at 15:28 and still NCW World Women's Champion, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa!" Holo announced as Senior Official John Finnegan handed the title back to its present owner.

"And the World Women's Championship is staying with Tsubaki. Sakura put up a surprising performance but ultimately inexperience leads to her downfall, right in front of Selena and Elena." Joey stated, somewhat shouting over Tsubaki's theme being played once more.

Tsubaki wobbled to the turnbuckle, asking for something to be tossed to her which turned out to be the rally towel from earlier. The champion stood tall and proud on the top of the turnbuckle, with championship gold over one shoulder while she waved the rallying towel in the are admist cheers and chants of "Here We Go Tsubaki, Here We Go!"

All the while Selena and Elena made their way up the ramp, with Selena turning and gazing at Tsubaki and in particularly eyeing the championship belt draped over her shoulder. Selena grew that slight smirk from earlier, before she and Elena departed to the back.

"And that ends this edition of Electric. Don't miss this Saturday when NCW Prime debuts on TBS." Joey said.

"And don't forget next Thursday, Electric will be back on with what I am told thus far will be a tag bout between Evelyn & Holly against Team Blackout!" Bennett announced.

"We'll have more on , but till then, goodnight everybody!" Joey signed off with as the ending signature appeared over the screen before Electric tuned off to whatever was next on the TBS lineup.
