Renegades Locker Room

Trevor was prepping himself for the main event, when Lady M's came in...

Lady M's: You ready Trevor?

Trevor Mach: This is the men's locker room Tali.
 
Lady M's: Meh. If they care so much they'll hide in their lockers like the Slam Master over there.

Slam Master Jam: I'M NOT EMBARRASSED ABOUT ANYTHING, I'M JUST BEING A GENTLEMAN!

Lady M's: Right. So Trevor, ARE YOU ready?

Trevor Mach: This has been some weird shit to deal with. Not only is my best friend losing it, but I have to be the one to snap him out of it? It's not really my bag.

Lady M's: You're a born hero, just not the conventional type. A hero in darkness.

Trevor Mach: People keep saying that! Quit it! I'm the Big Bad Wolf. I'm NOT the hero! I just happen to be doing something right now that SOME...SOME....might consider heroic...ish. But yeah Tali, I'm as ready as I can be. I mean have you been seeing him fight lately!? Kicks to the head 24/7 and that DAMN WRIST CLUTCH! I don't know why, but it adds a ton of knockout power! I don't get it, he's just clutching the wrist, but I swear when he does it feels like a dynamite exploding on impact. I would know, I've been blown up.

Lady M's: Haven't we all. Well, maybe you just need some extra training before your big main event in the Dome. How about you and I get down on the mat, and work on that game of yours. I'll wear the loose fitting gi.

Trevor Mach: That's a date, but right now, I have to go lead Subbie and the Dan Club against my best friend and his brother in law's group of bad guys.

Lady M's: A very literal description of what you're doing tonight.

Trevor Mach: What about you?

Lady M's: I'm gonna hang a pirate.

Trevor Mach: ....Cool!

The Star Lair

Tack Angel meanwhile, was kneeling on the ground, praying...

Tack Angel: God, please forgive them all, for they know not what they do. They have lost their way. They forget who they are, and they forget who I am. I am a righteous hero of justice, and I will vanquish the dark one Trevor Mach if I must, and show him the error of his ways once again.

Amy Angel: Tack? What are you doing?

Tack Angel: Just hoping God will take mercy on those confused fans, and on Trevor. They don't understand. They don't get our love Amy.

Amy Angel: I was slow to the idea as first remember? Then, I learned what it meant to have a large family that loves each other. The other wives are like sisters to me, and we all support each other, and we support you. We are on the right side of history my husband. I'm very proud of what you've become.

Tack Angel: Thank you Amy. Out of all my wives....you're the first.

1. Singles: Razorblade beat Sal Paradise via Piledriver -> Pin
2. Singles: Dragon Shiryu beat Saxon via Dragon Suplex -> Pin
3. Singles: Troy vs. Firebrand MAX  ended in a Double Countout
4. Non-Title Singles: Lady M's beat Faris Angel via Black Crash -> Pin
5. 8-Man: Tack Angel[o]/Ishihiro Tomo/Kinniku Mike/Amigo beat Trevor Mach/Subculture/Bashin Dan/Benjamin[x] via WRIST CLUTCH Star Driver -> Pin

-Razorblade and Sal Paradise brawled it out in a fierce opener. The former World Champions both trying to get back on track, but Blade had the Merger on the outside for his assist, allowing for the Piledriver and the pin.
-Dragon Shiryu bounced back from his title loss with a decisive win over Saxon. Saxon continues to have trouble in a singles environment, eating a Dragon Suplex for the pin.
-Troy and Firebrand MAX continued their feud, with another wild brawl. MAX continues to impress with his new attitude and more energetic style, going more high risk than when he was the methodical hybrid grappler. The two fought to the outside, where the 10 Count was reached, leading to a Double Countout. They both continued fighting until security broke it up.
-Lady Renegades Champion Lady M's took on Faris in a first time ever encounter, and though the title was not on the line, Faris fought like it was. A great grappling match, with Faris being a hooker of the wrestling sense and not that other thing. A rare chance for M's to show off her mat technique, but in the end, the tried and true elbows lead to the Black Crush and the pin. M's was going to shake hands with Faris, but remembered she was an Angel and clocked her with another elbow, to the delight of the crowd. Tack Angel came out to help her, but he was booed too, confusing him. He tried talking to M's, but she gave him a elbow for his troubles too.
-Main event time, as the staggered Tack, teamed with the Merger to take on the KO Bombers and Dan Club. A frantic brawl, nothing fancy here, as the two teams showed their fire. Mike was determined to get to Bashin Dan, but it was not to be, as Tack, did all he could to ensure Benjamin couldn't tag in Trevor Mach, by CLUTCHING THE DAMN WRIST, and hitting the Star Driver for the 1-2-3. Another win for the Television Champion, and the momentum is all on Tack Angel heading towards Princes of the Universe.

Havok Training Center

Kinniku Mike was lifting weights, adding more and more...

Amigo: You're going to tear something.

Kinniku Mike: Oh ye of little faith. The Strong Tits can handle it. I'm going to put more and more into this. I'm going to cultivate these tits, and I'm going to CRUSH that little bastard Bashin Dan. I was back at the top, and he stole it! I'm the Real Live Shit, and I'm going to prove it!

Amigo: Huh.

Kinniku Mike: Look at you, putting on more weight, and not LIFTING any of it. The World Warrior has fallen into complacency.

Amigo: I know what I'm capable of, and I don't need to lift to prove it.

Kinniku Mike: We'll see won't we, but I think you've found yourself addicted to food instead of training. Look, you have a sandwich right now!

Amigo: ....It's called stress eating....leave me alone. *sniff*

Saturn City Bridge

Camilo Ortega approached Master Lu...

Camilo Ortega: What do you want?

Master Lu: I'm surprised you showed. I wouldn't have blamed you if you hadn't, but let's cut to the chase. You don't like me, and you have every reason to not like me, but you showed me something. I saw that spark again. That's why I want a match with you again. Not because I want to stand in your way, but because I want to face the World Champion tier Camilo Ortega. That Man who Walks the Path.

Camilo Ortega: I have no reason to believe you, but I want to. I looked up to you once upon a time. My thoughts are not on the World Championship though, at least not yet. I will go through you to get to Stuart, and then....finally then....I will return to the World Championship. I WILL be the man who walks the path, and I will be the man who saves everything...

Bad Dudes Bar

Trevor and Lady M's were grappling in the middle of the ring. M's wore the loose fitting Gi like she promised, as they practiced holds and locks. M's got the upper hand, mounting Trevor...

Lady M's: You lost your focus.

Trevor Mach: I was thinking about licking the sweat off your ass.

Lady M's: Priorities Trevor! What are you going to do when Tack clutches the wrist again?

Trevor Mach: I can't let that happen!

Trevor flipped M's over and took the mounting position.

Trevor Mach: How is that?

Lady M's: ...What's poking my leg?

Trevor Mach: Can't be helped babe. I got a sickness for your thickness! Awwwoooo!

M's escaped and trapped Trevor in Tack's Star Driver...

Lady M's: What now?!

Trevor Mach: DON'T YOU CLUTCH THAT WRIST!

Lady M's: Block it!

M's tried to clutch the wrist, but Trevor blocked and escaped.

Lady M's: And look at that. See? It's possible.

Trevor Mach: Yeah! No more wrists will be clutched in my matches! Still, I have another problem. He can kick out of the Knee Trigger and the Burning Machismo. I know he can in his current state of mind. I need to kick it up. I need a finisher that he won't see coming, and I have just the move. *looks up and to the right*

Lady M's: What the hell are you looking at?

Trevor Mach: I see people do this all the time, isn't it like staring into the future and seeing success or something? I mean, I just see a spider in the corner, but I thought it would work.

The Angel House

Tack Angel and Tracy were making a violin together...yeah.

Tracy: Tack, why are we doing this?

Tack Angel: Shhh. Don't question it. I'm trying to be romantic here.

Tracy: By making a violin?

Tack Angel: It's symbolic...or making babies.

Tracy: It is? You want to make a baby?

Tack Angel: I must repopulate Crystal Fourside.

Tracy: So...this is legit then, and NOT a crazy sex cult?

Tack Angel: Of course it is.

Tracy: Good. I wasn't sure. I'm happy to make a violin with you Tack.  I missed you all those years apart and-

*knock knock*

Tack Angel: It's inappropriate to leave a violin unvarnished, but I will return....don't finish without me.

Tracy: It's all a bunch of innuendo that he doesn't realize. Oh well, I'll be naked when he comes back, then he can "make a violin" all he wants.

Tack opened the front door...

Tack Angel: Oh hel-Ness?!

Ness broke a bat over Tack's face.

He stepped over Tack as he writhed on the floor. Ness went up the stairs to find Tracy...naked...laying on the violin...

Tracy: Alright Tack, come varnish m-NESS!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!

Ness: ....

Tracy: No! No! It's NOT what it looks like. Wait...alright so it's EXACTLY what it looks like.

Ness: .....

Tracy: Please don't say that! We're married! This is NOT a sex cult!

Tack Angel: Hey! Why did you-

Ness pulls out another bat and clocks Tack with it.


Tack Angel: WHERE IS HE GETTING ALL OF THESE BATS?!

Tack fell over the railing back down to the first floor. Wayne Angel came in to the room.

Wayne Angel: Hey, what's-OH one of my daughter is laws is naked. They must have been making a violin. Please ignore me! Forgive the intrusion! Oh hello sir, I don't think we've met before. I'm Wayne! Would you like some tea?

Tack Angel: DON'T GIVE HIM TEA DAD! POLITELY ASK HIM TO LEAVE AND GET ME SOME GAUZE FOR ME NOSE!

Observe This Wrestling Radio

Byron Ibanez: How's it going everybody? Byron Ibanez, the manlet of wrestling here with Observe This Wrestling Radio. I'm joined as always by the purveyor of wrestling insight, Dean Meltz. So Dean, we got a lot to talk about this week. Havok going back to the Dome for a show that isn't Victory Explosion or E1. We've got the war between Havok and WBPW apparently ending for some sort of combination? It's a lot to take in. How did we get here?

Dean Meltz: Well..uh...you see uh...plans...plans change, and uh, well uh, the ratings have skewed in Havok's favor by uh a large margin since this uh feud between Trevor Mach and Tack Angel heated up. It's uh...perfectly reasonable to assume that uh, the man behind the bank roll of WBPW is uh....feeling the heat and wanting to get in on the Havok action. It uh it makes since since you know uh Ryan IQ is reportedly tired of fighting a war with a man that could uh well very well be his son.

Byron Ibanez: It's just crazy to think about. WBPW has been the best at fighting Havok head to head in the ratings, but you're right. This feud with Mach and Angel has really changed the game for Havok. Nobody ever thought Tack Angel would be in this position, and it's got all eyes on the product.

Dean Meltz: Yeah, and uh...well Trevor Mach has never been more popular if the crowds are anything to gauge this off of, and uh....it seems like it bothers him a bit.

Byron Ibanez: A contrarian doesn't like being the popular guy, he starts to hate himself a little maybe.

Dean Meltz: Between the uh the Iron Man match and the War Games match, this Dome is going to sell out easily you know, and I gave the Cage Match between Mach and Angel 4 Stars, and the uh, the Iron Man match could easily be a uh a 5.

Byron Ibanez: Why not a 6 star?

Dean Meltz: Because uh...they don't personally pander to me.

Byron Ibanez: Well anyways, now for the moment you've all been waiting for, when I call my elderly Grandmother, and make fun of her on live radio while talking about wrestling. Ain't I great?

Saturn Dome Entrance

 
A press event was being held, with Trevor Mach and Tack Angel, for the official signing of their Iron Man match at Princes of the Universe...

Fake News #1: So Tack, is it true that you and your "wives" are going to perform a ritual suicide?

Tack Angel: What?! No! That's totally wrong! Check your facts.

Fake News #1: ...I'm going to put that as maybe, and then mislead people with a headline on why that's a good thing.

Trevor Mach: Alright, enough of that shit. When I'm done with Tack, I'm coming for your fake news ass!

Tack Angel: Thanks.

Trevor Mach: Oh, that wasn't for you.

Tack Angel: You could be more friendly about this.

Trevor Mach: Oh I could? Look at you, acting calm and collected now, but the last few weeks, you've been the one kicking skulls and clutching the wrist. You're mad, and you don't want to admit it. You're mad that people aren't behind you anymore.

Tack Angel: I don't get mad Trevor, I am always justified in my feelings and actions, because I am a righteous hero, fighting for justice, and you, you are the darkness.

Trevor Mach: No, see I think people would disagree for once. They have my back this time around brother. They see you for what you are, even when you can't. Even if they don't care about all the wives, they care that you've been cheating for the first time in your career. Maybe not like others do, but you've been dipping your toes in the pool. You've been letting things go, and you've been clutching the wrist even when you don't need to, like with Benny the other day.

Tack Angel: I do what I have to because I'm playing the objective, and that means to win. I bring justice, and justice leads to victory, so if I win, that means I was just Trevor. I was just.

Trevor Mach: Oh you're "just" alright Tack. I don't want your brand of justice. The word sounds bad coming out of your mouth. Listen pal, for once I'm going to try and save YOU, by beating the hell out of you.

Tack Angel: You're wrong about this Trevor. You're wrong again, and your selfishness is going to cost you the World Championship.

Trevor Mach: Selfishness? Bro, I took a bullet for your family, when Stuart Sr. tried to kill them, and right now, Tali, Subculture, and I are the ONLY positive forces in your daughters life, as she tries to deal with your stuck up, delusional BULLSHIT!

Tack Angel: Leave my daughter out of this Trevor! You DID do good things, but it always comes back around that you do stuff like this, and you always find it amusing.

Trevor Mach: Do I look like I'm laughing to you? You've gotten your hands dirty Tack, and you've dipped into the darkness. I know what that looks like, I see it every time I look in the mirror.

Tack Angel: I have not. I am a hero of the light! My cause is just! This isn't a joke to me either. Make fun of me for finding love...a bunch of times...and make fun of me for embracing my destiny and finding confidence to say that I'm right. In no way am I staring into the darkness. That would be like Hell to me. No, instead, I'm going to beat you, and become World Champion once again, and set this all right, as the Star Prince, hero to the people! Because I love them all, and they will understand when it's all over!

Trevor Mach: You're not going to beat me again Tack. You beat me 3 times in 3 weeks, and I can't have it happen again. You're getting every ounce of fire. You're getting the Beast, the Big Bad Wolf. You know, if I were a mark, I'd be pop pop popping at your mention of the darkness, because what you call Hell, I call home. Awwwooooo!

It's a time for beginnings and endings, as wars, feuds, conflicts, and title matches would all come to a head at the Saturn Dome. The packed biggest venue in Eagleland would play host to a battle between good, evil, and shades of grey. The alignments are WAY off these days those, so it's hard saying who falls into where, and if they even realize it or not. The Merger were going all in for an all or nothing fight against Camilo Ortega, Firebrand MAX, and Dan Club. House Machismo and Tack's Angels would go to the War Games, and the Bad Man Trevor Mach would face the Star Prince once again, but this time in an Iron Man match for the Havok World Championship, and ALL the bragging rights. Not just some....but ALL of them. Tonight, the Princes of the Universe would do battle! And....and the Princesses I guess? Yeah?




-The opening match saw a very Judo-esque encounter between Ortega and Master Lu. Lu had been in Camilo's head for weeks, but the young man, and former World Champion was firmly in control of this match, easily defeating Lu with the STO Bomber. After the match, Lu endorsed Ortega, and showed him respect with a bow. Ortega showed respect back with a bow of his own.
-The second match saw Firebrand MAX and Troy go head to head once again, with No Rules, to make sure their is a winner. MAX was on fire, as he threw Troy into an unfocused rage. Troy and MAX battered each other with weapons, but a Fireslide MAX onto a chair gave it Firebrand. Another loss for the Merger.
-The Team Championship match was next, as the Dan Club went to war with the Merger one last time for the title belts. An all out war, in which Benjamin and Slam Master Jam finally showed what they could do, but they were all battered and over powered by the likes of Kinniku Mike, Amigo, Golvoth, and Tomo. Crazy match, with Golvoth leaving during the bout after arguing with the other members of his team, and Mike insisting he be the one to put down Bashin Dan. The man looked relieved, like his victory was finally coming, but Dan escaped the Muscle Buster and hit the Brave Clash for the 1-2-3! Somehow, the Dan Club survived the very best of the Merger, and ended them as a faction. The legend of Bashin Dan continues to grow and unfold.
-It was now time for War Games, as the Dome would see a match like this for the first time in years, and it would be the first time that the Lady Renegades would be involved. If House Machismo won, Christina would be left alone by her would be Step mothers, but if Tack's Angels won, the winner would be the new Lady Renegades Champion. Rose Mulligan and Nani entered first and just went at it. Great way to open, with Mulligan and Nani using the cages to their advantage. From there, it would be a member of the Angels coming out first to give them the advantage as per a coin flip, and seeing that the Angels were the designated heels according to the crowd, it proves that all coins in history have a bias for the heels in War Games. When all the women were in, it could finally be decided, as the two teams went to war. Christina was looking impressive on her, team and working to defeat her "family" and free herself from them. Tracy and Lady M's were going at it again, with blood flowing from the cage attacks. M's tried to hit a Rolling M's, but Tracy countered and hit an Angel Driver, stealing the move from Christina, who protested the act and fired back with hard kicks. Nani and Iroha held her back as Faris hit a Top Rope Elbow on M's. Makoto hit a hard punt kick, and Tracy finally picked her up for the TikTak. It was then, that the wives fell for the trap, as they began to argue about who was going to pin M's and take the title. The fans were excited to see the thought put into the stip, but it was a ruse, as they all hugged and elected Tracy to roll up M's for the 1-2-3 while they kept the other Machs at bay. Tracy won the War Games, and claimed the Lady Renegades Championship. Christina isn't free from her family yet, but she made it painful for them, as she clocked Tracy with the belt and hit the Angel Driver, sending a message, before helping the bloodied M's to her feet while the other Angel wives tried to plead with her to come back.
-It was now time for the main, a match to end all matches, and an end to an era and possibly a friendship. An Iron Man match for the Havok World Championship between the Big Bad Wolf Trevor Mach and the Star Prince Tack Angel. Tack made another elaborate entrance, as the ceiling projected the night sky, with a shooting star seemingly coming from the projection, down to the entrance. An explosion of sparks gave way to Tack Angel, clad in silver and blue armor with a rainbow jacket so long, that the pirates had to hold it up behind him. He showered in the reaction, which were actually boos, but his entrance music was edited to pipe in louder cheers by technical effects Pirate. The wives also joined him to the ring, with Tracy carrying her newly won Lady Renegades Championship. Tack gave an embrace to every wife before finally getting into the ring. Mach meanwhile, DID get cheered, as he rode a motorcycle down to the ring. He drove so fast, the pirates had to dive out of the way. He pulled up beside the ring and fell back into the fans while holding up the title. Tack demanded he get in the ring, ironic considering how theatrical his own entrance was. A big reaction for the initial face off. Both men dead set on winning and proving who was right. The bell rang, and the action began. Tack got a go behind takedown, but Mach reversed, and Tack escaped as they started out with a bit of an amateur sequence. A far different kind of match between the two, more technical to start. Mach grabbed a pair of headlocks, but both times Tack threw him away. Mach grabbed an arm wringer, and Tack reversed into a headlock. Trevor escaped and grabbed Tack in the clinch, letting the knees fly and changing up the pace of the match. Tack escaped, and tried to get a roll up pin, but Trevor reversed and did the same. Another kick out and the two stood face to face, with the audience cheering the opening sequence. A long drawn out war and change of styles throughout made for an intense and exciting encounter. Both men trying to get a pin or submission first to set the tone, but neither man could. Tack fought hard to try and clutch the wrist with his Star Driver, but Trevor managed to block and escape the super finisher. Mach did hit the Knee Trigger, but only managed a 2 Count. Tack escaped the Burning Machismo attempt, and hit a Star Driver. 1-2-KICKOUT! The Wrist Clutch makes all the difference. The technical gave way to big moves, and then to the striking, as the two took to back and forth slaps and head butts. Trevor started getting fired up, punching himself a few times and goading Tack to hit him harder. Tack let them loose, and Trevor laughed them off, until the high kick. A "yep that'll do it" moment, as Trevor collapsed to the mat. Tack went high risk and hit the Moonsault off the top, but Mach kicked out of another pin attempt. Mach slowly staggered to his feet and was ready to attack, but suddenly the bell rang. The time limit had been reached, and neither man was able to score the pin. Ryan IQ had to come out, and announce that the match was going into Sudden Death, and by making it the title of a really good Jean Claude Van Damme movie, it gave Trevor Mach the added Machismo he needed to thwart Tack Angel. Blocking a Knee Trigger, and escaping another Burning Machismo, Trevor lifted Tack up for move his partner knows all too well. The Go 2 Mach aka, the Go 2 "Blank". Mach even jokingly clutched his wrist, but in this move that does literally nothing. 1-2-3! Trevor Mach won 1-0 in over an hour, to defend the World Championship, and defeat the Star Prince. Mach collapsed with his title, and celebrated, while Tack looked on distraught, unable to believe that he lost. Mach reached out to Tack, offering the fist bump, but Tack looked to the floor, and slowly moved the fist aside, bypassing Trevor on the way up the ramp to his wives. M's, Hope, Heather, Subculture, and Christina Angel all ran to the ring to celebrate, with Christina stopping to look at Tack before walking away from him and the wives. Mach was victorious, but a look from Tack suggested that maybe this wasn't over just yet.

BREAKING NEWS!

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, the just as surprised as you are, of Wrestling, and apparently, we've got some earth shattering news to follow up our Saturn Dome spectacular. It's a live press conference happening now in Fourside, yes Fourside, where I THOUGHT we were no longer going. Like I said, just as surprised as you are.

Fourside City Hall

Ryan IQ was standing by with none other than Mr. Pirkle of WBPW. He was also joined by Havok World Champion Trevor Mach, WBPW Grand Champion Takumi Inui, and Ness.

Ryan IQ: So yes, the rumors were true. For weeks, behind the scenes we've been discussing this, and it's going to happening. Havok and WBPW are merging.

Mr. Pirkle: Ness and I created WBPW to bring tradition back to Wrestling, and to take it in different directions. We focused on growing new talent, while giving veterans and legends a new life. We feel that in this new scenario, we'll have a chance to do that better than ever.

Ryan IQ: You all thought Havok saw a mass exodus a couple weeks ago, but really, they were brought over to thin the herd as it were in secret eliminator matches. We lost some from Havok, and we lost some from WBPW, but to make this work, we're going to need the best of the best, the most talented, and the biggest hearts. We thought, with the end of The Merger in Havok, we would begin our own merger. This will bring both companies under one banner, but Pirkle and I will still run the show as partners, with a board of directors from Havok and the Eagleland National Network working behind the scenes.

Mr. Pirkle: Our investors wanted to make this happen, and it proved to be too lucrative for either of us to pass up. We will have the Renegade Network, but we'll also have the full backing and support of Eagleland National Network. This will allow us two shows a week, and it will allow the rosters to reach every corner of this country. Renegades back in Onett and Fourside. This is now a reality.

Ryan IQ: Most of the fine print is still being worked out, but we've been given a pass by the Government, who were cautious we were creating a wrestling monopoly, considering the other promotions that work with us in our various territory systems. I'd like to point out that the wrestlers lost in the eliminators will be rebuilding themselves in the territories, and they will also be lifting the value of those promotions by participating. We will have a full roster to show you later. We CAN tell you that Renegade Nation will remain the Monday show, and Xcite will be moving to Thursdays, and it will remain on ENN. With two shows a week, we will be offering a "major event" every 2-4 weeks on the Renegade Network, like we have been doing, but each event will have additional build thanks to the extra tv hours. We're also thinking of adding a third show, in much the way we have in the past, for the younger talent and lower card wrestlers to perform on. We know that's gotten complicated in the past, but we're coming up with new solutions to these problems. Either that, or we will restart a house show touring system, with results available on the internet or television. The point being that every show will matter, and that means you'll want to attend these house shows, so you don't miss a thing.

Mr. Pirkle: I have spoken with Ryan IQ at length about the name of this new company going forward. I see new life in the eyes of talent like Ness and Havok's World Champion Trevor Mach. It inspired me. It showed me that what's old is new again, and like Trevor Mach says, it's all on the wheel, it all comes around. It's time to come full circle, so I end this announcement, with the new name for our merged company. We present to you.....

Wrestling News Update!

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, the-

Nerma: Can it Dukes, this is MY show you're invading! I didn't ask to be paired up with you again!

Tommy Dukes: I missed you too Nerma.

Nerma: While I enjoyed the heat of competition, it's great to be back, speaking to ALL the wrestling fans! We've seen some huge changes, and we're here to try and get you up to speed. Havok and WBPW are merging to form EBW, and I'm excited that we're getting back to basics, and what better way to do that, then to have a HUGE show full of unification matches! Yeah, we got a lot of belts, and those title belts need to be paired down. WBPW's Sky Runner and No Rules Championships WILL be surviving the merge, but titles like the World and World Tag titles, will be unified. Once the new champions are settled, all the belts will be re-titled EBW Championships.

Tommy Dukes: We'll see our athletes represent Havok and WBPW one last time in some dream matches, including a young gun battle between Bashin Dan and Cade. I'm more excited to see the stronger Women's Division. Yes, the moniker Lady Renegades is being retired, and replaced with the more traditional term. The Women wrestlers deserve the respect of being credited as such.

Nerma: What a suck up. They still won't sleep with you Dukes!

Tommy Dukes: You're just mad that Hater left you for your twin sister Norma!

Nerma: You! You didn't need to-why I oughta!

Tommy Dukes: That was uncalled for wasn't it? I just don't get why you give me so much grief!

Nerma: It's because....it's because....

Nerma pulled in Tommy Dukes for an angry, passionate kiss....

The Angel House

Tack Angel was sitting on a bench, staring out at the pond, and the pirate ship nestled in it. He was joined by...

Stuart: Brother, what are you doing out here?

Tack Angel: I'm trying to figure out what happened. How did I lose? It doesn't make any sense Stuart. I'm the hero aren't I? I do what's right, and I live in the light. The light should defeat the darkness, and yet....and yet I lost. I had him beaten 3 times in a row, and I just needed that last win to show Christina that his way was NOT in fact...the way.

Stuart: That's over Tack. It's a new era as of now. Your wives, including my sister, believe in you still. They'll believe in you always. Who cares what the people think right now, because you know you're right. You will show the world, and make them understand. You'll be doing them a favor. Listen, I was wrong to try and defeat you. I have disbanded the Merger, and the 7 Nation Army. I know that Little Mac has reestablished Greed with Tomo, Amigo, Novus, and Troy, but I'm not taking part in it. I have other ideas right now, and that's to help my brother in law, establish his kingdom...Crystal Fourside.

Tack Angel: You want to help me?

Stuart: Of course I do. I was wrong. You are right.

Tack Angel: Yes...I'm right.

Stuart: I cut Little Mac a large check, in order for him to give me this...

Stuart pulled out both World Tag Team Championships.

Stuart: Please, allow me back into this family, and become my tag partner.

Tack Angel: Stu?

Stuart: Please. Let's shake on it.

Tack Angel: ....Brothers don't shake hands. Brothers gotta hug!

The show opened with Trevor Mach standing in the middle of the ring, soaking up cheers for the final Renegade Nation under the Havok Banner. It was bittersweet for the Renegades, as this would be their last stand.

Trevor Mach: Awooo! Heeeey baby! Come on! Get fired up! This is it! This is the FINAL stand for Havok! GET HYPE! Wow, who could've seen this coming? EBW is coming back, and I am the World Champion. Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years. I'm rocking my peers, and putting suckers in fear. Making the tears rain down like a monsoon, listen to the bass go...... We've come full circle bras and brahs. What a road it's been, but now we're BACK! EBW! HOLY SHIT! Tonight, I'm putting together a super group to battle the reformed Greed. Gonna go out with a.....BOOM! See, there it is! You just had to wait for it. I-

Tack Angel came out with Stuart flanking him, and his wives...

Tack Angel: You're playing my role right now Trevor.

Trevor Mach: What is that? World Champion? I think I defended this fair and square unless I fell into another universe again....wait did I?

Tack Angel: The Star Prince is the hero of this story. I am the bringer of justice and light! I've been reminded of that, by my family, who I will defend against you, and the corrupted fans, who have lost their way. You won that battle, but I will win the war, when Crystal Fourside returns, and I bring forth a generation of little Star Princes and Princesses who will usher in a new age!

Trevor Mach: ...So that's the Plan B? Breed a lot? Sounds fun!

Tack Angel: I do this, because it must be done Trevor. You all can boo me, but I will overcome this adversity, and rise above the hate. It MUST be done.

Trevor Mach: So, you MUST have a lot more kids? Well then, I just HAVE to steal an idea from a guy I know.

Trevor Mach kicked Tack between the legs as hard as he could, to the delight of the crowd. He backed out of the ring, getting a heroic reception for a "dick move". Tack was stunned and shocked that the people were cheering. He tried to explain why it was wrong while he was begging for a bag of ice. Tracy joined Tack in the ring, with her newly won Lady Renegades Championship.

Tracy: Wait Tack, let me talk to them. You all, you don't deserve a hero like my husband. He loves you all, and he is justified in everything that he does. Our love and bond is absolute, and this title is proof of that. I am the Lady Renegades Champion, and our family defeated House Machismo, who tried to steal our daughter away. We aren't going to tolera-

Christina Angel came out to a big response...

Christina Angel: You did win last night, and it was a big win for you all, but it only means you can still bother me about being family, it doesn't mean that I WILL be family.

Tack Angel: *high pitched* Christina please!

Tracy: I will handle this. Christina, we don't want to give up on you. We love you.

Christina Angel: You live in a delusion! Listen to these people! They are telling you what you need to hear! It's fine if you won't listen to them though, if you'll listen to this! I challenge you to a match right here and now for the Lady Renegades Championship. If I win, I become Champion for the first time. If you win, I'll commit myself to being your daughter, and I'll join the Angel Family in everything from now on. I'll put all I believe in on the line for this Championship.

Tracy: For my husband, and our family, I accept the challenge!

-Christina Angel took on Tracy for the Lady Renegades Championship, in the final match for the title in its current form. Christina showed a lot of heart, as the fans roared in approval. Tracy was caught off guard and taken off balance, with an Angel Driver leading to the 1-2-3! A HUGE upset, as Christina broke records with her first win as Lady Renegades Champion! Hope, Lady M's, and Heather Mach came out to celebrate with Tracy, while Tack interchanged between pride in his daughter, and sorrow for his wife.
-Vjhearson Golvoth, back on his own, scored an upset of his own, using his rage and pure strength to destroy a former World Champion Sal Paradise, with a ring shaking Choke Slam. Not Sal's finest moment, but a huge advancing win for Golvoth.
-Kinniku Mike tried to comeback from his recent losses with another battle against Vapetrain. Looking to end his Havok tenure with a win, he lifted the huge Vapetrain for the Muscle Buster and the pin.
-Tack Angel and Stuart, the new World Tag Team Championship combination debuted as a team against Dan Club's Benjamin and Slam Master Jam. A great showcase for Tack and Stu, though Tack spent a lot of the match cupping the hope for Crystal Fourside in his pants. He did manage to win it, but only by going overboard again on his finisher, destroying Slam Master Jam with the WWWWRRRRIIIISSSSSTTTTT CLUTCH Star Driver!
-Lady M's and daughter Hope took on Iroha and Makoto Angel in Lady Renegades Tag action next. The former champ rebounded from the War Games loss, taking the fight to the weaker Iroha and rookie Makoto. Hope scored the win though, after hitting the Olympic Slam on Makoto.
-The final main event for a Havok event saw World Champion Trevor Mach team with Subculture, Bashin Dan, and Firebrand MAX against Greed in an all out war. The new Greed configuration was strong, leading to great, hard hitting moments, especially between Troy and MAX. The finish came when the champ hit the Knee Trigger on Novus for the pin and the win. A big win and a feel good moment to close out the Havok era. EBW's Rebirth was on the horizon...

Golden Weeks begins! Yes, it's the first day of Golden Week. It might be like, early or whatever to you, but it's Golden Week here so DON'T QUESTION IT! A huge week of special events like always, with the first episode replacing Renegade Nation for the week, with the theme being a Civil War between allies of Mach and Tack Angel. The show opened to a chorus of boos, as Tack Angel stood in the ring...

Tack Angel: Hey! Hey come on! Please, let me talk! I'm really excited to be back in...SATURN CITY! Yeah...come on...SATURN CITY! No? Nothing? Not one pop? Alright, so I figured this out. A lot of people have been saying that I'm acting like a villain these days, but that is not true. That's totally wrong in fact. I'm a good person! I'm a hero! I'm the Star Prince, and I'm trying to rebuild my kingdom and take care of my family! That's when it hit me. You have all turned heel on me! Yes, that's it, you've all turned heel. A bunch of heels booing the Ace! The 1 out of 101 guys Ace in fact. It's alright though. I forgive you all. I-

Lady M's came out to a big reaction that Tack initially thought was for him until he saw her.

Tack Angel: Tali? What are you-

Lady M's: Are you a moron?

Tack Angel: What?

Lady M's: Redundant question. I already know what you are. You ARE a moron! You're an idiot! A blind fool!

Tack Angel: Tali, why are you hurting me so?

Lady M's: ...YOU'RE BLIND! You're obviously the bad guy! You're doing the bad stuff now! You've lost it!

Tack Angel: I don't know why you and Trevor feel the need to spread lies like this. You've both been acting like wannabe heroes again, and lying to the people, making them turn on me. I wish I knew why you hated me so. I've always been a good friend, and-

Lady M's: Enough! I'm tired of hearing about this. Look, I'm not trying to be a hero. I know who I am and what I've done, but I have changed.

Tack Angel: You've changed alright, you've bought into Trevor's bull....poopie. You WERE Champion again, until my wife took the title, and then my daughter won it. Now you're trying to corrupt my daughter because you're mad about losing the title right? You guys always lose it when you lose the belts. What's up with that?

Lady M's: I'm not mad about losing the title. For a brief period of time, Trevor and I held the titles together, and it reminded me of a time when the world was brighter. Everything I've done lead to that, and it makes it all worth it. I had no ill will towards you....other than not liking you most of the time.

Tack Angel: Awww.

Lady M's: But that was established already. You abandoned your daughter for tits, and you stabbed Trevor in the back, and THAT made this my problem. I'm tired of your bullSHIT Tack. It's bullSHIT!

Tack Angel: Language! Listen, you really need to walk away Tali. I want to forgive you for all the lies you've put into my daughter's head. I want to forgive you for the hurt you've caused me. I just want to give you a big old fruit basket, and make this all right between us. You're not going to let me, and that means I have to continue trying to stop you and Trevor, and those on your side from wrecking everything. I have to save EBW, these fans in SATURN CITY....no? I have to protect my family and Crystal Fourside. I need you to walk away right now. Please.

Lady M's: Not a chance.

Tack Angel: *sigh* They're not going to stop Tali.

Lady M's: Who is not going to stop?

Tack Angel: We're a family, a big family, and my new large family is full of connections. Stuart is...involved...with them. Walk away now please, or....

Lady M's: Or what?! Stop your bitching Tack. I'm not going anywhere!

Tack Angel: *sigh* I'm so sorry Tali. I can't stop it. I'm sorry, but I'm going to turn my back on you.

M's stood confused as Tack turned his back on her. That's when the Skulls & Bones attacked. Aly Smash lead her now 6 woman biker gang in the attack. Heather, Hope, Rose, and Christina Angel ran out to make the save, but the damage was done. The crowd booed Tack even harder, even as he tried to tell them that he wasn't responsible for that.

EBW: Golden Week Day 1 - CIVIL WAR!
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
Renegade Television

1. Team Machismo vs. Team Angel: Firebrand X/Bashin Dan[o]/Takumi Inui/Dragon Shiryu/Cade/Benjamin/Slam Master Jam/Vapetrain beat Kinniku Mike/Razorblade/Amigo/Ishihiro Tomo/Novus[x]/Franky/Troy/Vjhearson Golvoth via Brave Clash -> Pin
2. Women Singles: Kelly Steele beat Heather Mach via Shredding Backbreaker -> Pin
3. Women Tag: Lady M's/Rose Mulligan[o] beat Makoto[x]/Iroha via Bloody Bomb -> Pin
4. Women Singles: Hope Mach beat Nani via Olympic Slam -> Pin
5. Women Non-Title Singles: Paula beat Christina Angel via Sharpshooter -> Referee Stoppage
6. 8-Man Cage Tag: Tack Angel/Stuart/Ness/Jamie OD[o] beat Trevor Mach/Subculture/Grind/Sal Paradise[x] via Penalty Kick -> Pin

-Opening match saw members of the roster pick sides in the current conflict between the Mach and Angel families, and duke it out in 16-Man Tag action. A chaotic Civil War(c), with the heroes of EBW siding with Team Machismo, while the heelish ones sided with Team Angel, much to the chagrin of Tack Angel in the back, who questioned why some of the top stars hadn't sided with him. Kinniku Mike used his obsession with beating Bashin Dan and took over the story of the match until Amigo tagged him out and tried to talk some sense into him. Novus tagged in while they argued, and right in front of Mike and behind the back of Amigo, Novus was felled with the Brave Clash and pinned. Mike was livid as Amigo offered him an apology sandwich.
-Kelly Steele returned with a vengeance, as a patched in member of the Skulls & Bones. The rocker was more hardcore in her return, as she took the fight to Heather Mach, battering the veteran and pinning her after a Shredding Backbreaker.
-M's and Rose Mulligan joined forces to take on Makoto and Iroha. Looking to get revenge on the Angel Family, M's was adamant on tagging in, but the attack earlier left her out of it, and unable to carry the brunt of the match. The recently fully recovered Rose Mulligan took the job instead, downing Makoto with the Bloody Bomb and the pin
-Hope Mach saw a resurgence in her match against Nani. She out wrestled one of the better competitors in the Angel Family, and nearly forced her to tap with the Ankle Lock. Nani recovered and tired to hit the Sling Blade, but Hope blocked it and hit the Olympic Slam instead, for the 1-2-3.
-Christina Angel tangled with the EBW OG Paula in a non-title match. As the wife of Ness, Paula has officially joined the Angel Family, and that put her in opposition to Christina, hence the match. That's...that's why I booked it. Christina has stepped up her game, but she wasn't ready for the ground game of Paula, whose technical prowess has yet to be matched. Paula trapped Christina in a Sharpshooter, but Christina refused to tap, leading to a Referee Stoppage.
-Main event time, as Team Machismo and Team Angel collided in an 8-Man Tag match INSIDE OF A STEEL CAGE! Wait...what? It's not steel? Tungsten? Why is it Tungsten? Who ordered a Tungsten Cage? That makes no sense. You have to go out of your way to screw something up like that. Let me see the receipt. Seriously. Yes, now is the PERFECT time. I want them to know to! I need to know who to blame for this. Dukes!? Tommy Dukes?! He was with Nerma wasn't he? Dammit Dukes, you really screwed this one up. Fine. Fine. No, it's totally fine. I'm fine with this. A Tungsten Cage match. Come on, this is supposed to be a serious match! Trevor and Tack opened the match with a wild flurry, but the other members of the teams also wanted a piece, with Subculture trying to return the favor from the nut shot last week. The divided 87's members also went all out, with the returning Jamie OD ultimately scoring the win with a big Penalty Kick on Sal for the pin. The Angel Family and Team Machismo found themselves at somewhat of a stalemate at the end of the night....because of course they did. Tungsten Cage. What the hell Dukes?

Bad Dudes Bar

Trevor Mach was hosting a night at the bar for the members of the EBW roster that joined his side in the Civil War(c), including Subculture and Christina Angel, who were sitting together talking...

Trevor Mach: ...Wow, those two really ARE hitting it off.

Lady M's: Did you think they wouldn't? You ever seen Sailor Moon? Destiny and time travel and shit.

Trevor Mach: I just....hey wait a minute, what are you doing here? Isn't this going to mess with your sobriety?

Lady M's: You helped me through the rough part. Luckily, I'm only addicted to pain....and Twinkies...and Dr. Pepper. I still have demons. What about you? You quit too remember?

Trevor Mach: Yeah, but when things get rough, I turn to Jesus.

Lady M's: Huh?

Trevor Mach: Jesus, you remember him right? My blind friend that I got into that car accident with. He's my AA sponsor.

Jesus: I am?

Trevor Mach: Well, you would be if I went. AHAHA!

Lady M's: Well, I was having a good time, but then I see that over there.

Trevor Mach: What?

Across the room sat the Skulls & Bones, sitting at a table together. Aly Smash and Kelly Steele raised their glasses mockingly towards Lady M's, before turning their gaze to Christina.

Trevor Mach: Who invited the S&M?

Lady M's: The S&B.

Trevor Mach: Right. What did I say?

Lady M's: Our plans later. I'll be right back.

Lady M's walked over to the table.

Lady M's: So, are we having fun?

Aly Smash: So much fun.

Kelly Steele: Celebrating my return M's, wanna have a seat?

Lady M's: I'll pass.

Kelly Steele: Probably smart for you. 6 of us after all.

Lady M's: You need a couple more to make it fair.

Kelly Steele: You keep talking, and we'll beat some respect into you.

Lady M's: You used to be able to garner respect from me. You were talented, and you had the people behind you. Now, you're just joke in a fake motorcycle wannabe club.

Kelly Steele: You-

Aly Smash: Not now Steele. We have other business. We're not here for her.

The Skulls & Bones got up and followed Subculture and Christina out of the bar.

Lady M's: Trevor.

Trevor Mach: Let's go baby.

Trevor and M's followed the S&B out of the bar, where they blocked off Subculture and Christina.

Subculture: What the hell ladies. I can't throw down with you, but I'm not going to stop Christina here for beating your asses.

Christina Angel: What's your problem huh? Leave us alone.

Aly Smash: My boy toy Stuart wanted us to come and fetch you. It's time you went home.

Christina Angel: Not a chance. Get out of my-

Tack Angel: Honey, please step away from Subculture now.

Tack Angel walked out of the crowd.

Christina Angel: What are you doing here?

Tack Angel: I'm tired of seeing you make the wrong decisions honey. I love you too much to let you make these horrible mistakes.

Trevor Mach: ...I think he's talking about you Subbie.

Subculture: Yeah thanks, I got that.

Christina Angel: My decisions are my own. I don't need you doing this right now.

Trevor Mach: Yeah Tack, let her make her own decisions.

Tack Angel: I'm not talking to you! Christina look, I've gotten you a fruit basket. I want to apologize for the way I've tried to show you that I'm right. I'm not a bad man, like those villains over there. I'm the good guy here. I just want you to be safe with your family, in the kingdom of Crystal Fourside.

Lady M's: Tack, calling the S&B to "fetch your daughter" makes them look like bitches, and it makes you look like a dick.

Aly Smash: If only I cared about how you feel.

Tack Angel: Tali, that language is not needed here. Look, I found something by the way. You said you didn't like me much, BUT I found this picture from when you and I went to Saturn World Amusement Park!

Tack flashed a picture of the two wearing Mr. Saturn hats and laughing on the log ride.

Lady M's: YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER SHOW THAT TO ANYONE!

Tack Angel: I'm sorry, and I'll send you a fruit basket about it, but right now, I'm just here to save my daughter, so plea-

Subculture: Dude, you need to stop looking past me right now. I'm standing between you and her. I do care about her. I don't care about destiny or anything. Spending time with her changed me, and I see what makes her so special. I think that's something you've forgotten. So I'm going to stand in your way. If you want her, then yo-

Jamie OD appeared from behind Tack and attacked Subculture, breaking a beer bottle over his head, and knocking him out.

Trevor Mach: Whoa! The actual hell Tack!

Tack Angel: Jamie wait! I was going to have a talk to him as a concerned father! I'm going to need another fruit basket. Oh well, I tried to tell him I was right, but he tried to get in the way of a father and his daughter. Family is too important to-

Trevor Mach: You're so full of shit Tack!

Tack Angel: I am NOT full of poopie! I am just trying to do the best I can, when I feel like the whole world has turned against me! You turned against me!

Trevor Mach: You did that! Now, you've got that hooligan ASSHOLE attacking people for you.

Tack Angel: I didn't tell him to do that!

Trevor Mach: You brought him along!

Tack Angel: It would have been impolite not to!

Trevor Mach: This is insane!

Tack Angel: Anyways, why do you care? You don't really care about anything or anyone! Why do you care if Subculture gets hurt.

Trevor Mach: Because, he's my friend.

Tack Angel: .....So was I.

Aly Smash: I hate to interrupt "Star Prince", but she's getting away.

Tack Angel: Nani?

Aly Smash: No Christina.

Lady M's and Christina took off on M's motorcycle, while Trevor helped up Subculture.

Tack Angel: HEY! WAIT! COME BACK! SHOOT! DANG! POOP! I'm sorry, I'm lashing out.

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, the confused about Nerma guy of Wrestling, and I'm here to recap the events of Day 2 of Golden Week! It was time for the Golden Mask Tournament, where the returning luchadors battled for their very own trophy, the Golden Mask. In lucha culture, the mask is far more important to the wrestler than a title, and this year, the mask went to Tiburon once again, making him a 2-Time winner of the mini tournament. In the process, he defeated Dark Kiva, who cheated in his match against his twin brother to make it to the finals. Tiburon thwarted the evil, but in the process, nearly had his "secret identity" outed by Hexagon VI, who claims to know who he is. Hex VI then took off his mask to reveal underneath....the exact same mask...but with a III on it! Hex VI was Hex III the whole time! The nemesis of Los Tiburon returns!

A flash of white fills any vision, blinding by it's radiance. As it's shine slowly fades, a figure stands in a white room next to an ornate door. Stepping forward, the figure reveals herself to be a woman. Tall, slender, with long flowing green hair. Standing tall with an imposing large staff shaped as a key, in contrast with her Sailor Fuku clothing. One could see however as she walked closer, that she is in no way a teen woman, but in fact a hardened warrior. She bellows in a commanding but soft voice.

???: Good evening. Guarded by Pluto, planet of time. I am the soldier of change, Sailor Pluto. Guardian of this, the Space-Time Door.

She points to the door behind her. A Giant white door, ordained with pillars & wings of stone, carved with the markings of the moon cycles and symbols of alien nature.

Sailor Pluto: I have brought you, yes you, the one who is hearing me speak to this place for an important reason.

Sailor Pluto waves her staff and brings about a vision of Eagleland. Replaying the several weeks of the transformations of Trevor Mach & Tack Angel, the displacement of time & space of many people, as well as the growing strength of many wrestlers.

Sailor Pluto: Things... were not always this way. At least on this World. For one, the Tack Angel that you see is not the same Tack Angel I once knew. No, he was not of this World but he faced many trials and tribulations. Many in his life, lost and gone.

Sailor Pluto hesitates as she takes a moment to wipe her eyes with the heel of her hand.

Sailor Pluto: It is true that the problems that both my Tack Angel, and the Tack Angel that you know, have the very same source for their accomplishments, their losses, and the fate that befelled them both.

Sailor Pluto waves her staff once more as the visions shift to a floating island. Waters flowing off the side of it's cliffs, lush blue leafed trees, and a large imposing castle at it's center. An island with a cosmic aura that could be seen from light years away.

Sailor Pluto: For all they are subjected to is an unfortunate destiny. Both were reliving... a past life. However, while the Tack Angel I knew was able to harness the great power he had in a trial bound by love. Your Tack Angel has not harnessed his immense power, for reasons I'm sure are clear to you.

The vision changes to that of a gladitorial arena with a raised platform. There are a great amount of people that fill this arena, a grand chair that sits a lone woman, and on that platform are two athletes grappling. One with shining white hair grabs the other with fiery red hair and lifts him up. His opponent in arm, he plays up to the crowd and even looks for approval from the lone woman. The woman smiles and nods to the gladiator. The white haired man proceeds to drop the fire red man to his side & onto his shoulders. Covering the man, leading to a man just off the platform to count.

Man: Unus! Duo! Tres!

The crowd roars in joy as the man in white has seemingly won the encounter. the man from the outside jumps onto the platform to raise the arm of the man in white. The Man in white takes in the cheers and lifts up his opponent in seeming fair play.

Man in White: A spirited contest my dear friend.

The Fiery Red Man pats the man in white on the back.

Firery Red Man: A fight that of no other, I would assume that the Star Mother Helios is pleased?

They both look at the lone woman, who is clapping in entertainment.

Tack: Mother has always enjoyed sport as this. She says it reminds her of father and their younger escapades.

They both laugh as both wave. A woman in regal dress rushes up to the two from the side of the arena.

Woman: Oh! My Prince!

Man in White: My dear Princess of Jupiter, Makoto, did you enjoy the contest?

Princess Makoto: It was quite enjoyable indeed. A spirit loss though Prince Orion.

Prince Orion: T'would seem that I still have catching up to the Star Prince himself. You always had a knack for this Tackleton.

Star Prince: My mother calls me Tackleton, you know to address me as Tack.

Prince Orion: That I am fully aware.

The three laugh, as they walk together to the podium stand bellow the seating of the Star Mother. The man, seemingly the official approaches as the crowd goes softly quieter.

Official: It is with great please that we announce on this day, Mensis Maius the Unus, the completion of our tournament.

The crowd applaud in soft measures.

Official: We of the Star Kingdom hereby officially congratulate all competitors of our tournament as organized by the Jupiter Kingdom & our own North Star Kingdom Government. In honor of great valor, fair play, & spirit of the game we award the tournament champion, Star Prince Tackleton Angelsmythe, the honor of Jupiter's Wrestling Champion!

The crowd erupts in joyous applause and cheer as they throw flowers and shredded papyrus. The official lays a kotinos of shining green olive branches onto the head of the Star Prince and shakes his hand. The Star Prince proceeds to raise the arms of his comrades in celebration, with the Princess of Jupiter planting a kiss on the cheek of the tournament winner.

The visions all but abruptly stop as Sailor Pluto gains your attention again.

Sailor Pluto: As you can see, some things are easy to see why the Tack Angel you know acts the ways he does. It unfortunately is not by his own design, but that of fulfilling a past life. It does not explain, as I'm sure you wanted, all of your answers. Please understand that there is only so much that I can show you, for reasons I'm sure will be clearer in the future. However for now, I believe your time has come up. I shall call upon you again...

The bright blinding light returns, obscuring all vision of what was once.

Sailor Pluto: ...in time.

Bad Dudes Bar

Trevor Mach and Subculture were arguing over the events of the night before, as Subculture held an ice pack on his head.

Subculture: That son of a bitch broke a bottle over my head! I'm going to kick his ass! You wait your turn!

Trevor Mach: Alright, I have NO problem with that.

Subculture: Huh?

Trevor Mach: You're right he did do that....as in Jamie OD.

Subculture: What? It wasn't Tack?

Trevor Mach: Please. He's not getting his hands dirty any more than he has to, because he still thinks he's the hero in all of this. Just pisses me off even more. You can have Jamie, and I'll take on Tack again. I'll show hi-

Subculture: No, you know what I meant! I want to face Tack next!

Trevor Mach: Didn't work out the last few times bro.

Subculture: He keeps hitting me in the dick! I'm going to wear a cup and kick his ass!

Trevor Mach: ....You had me at wear a cup. Fine, you challenge his ass. Cause like....I get to fight Tomo....what the hell am I going to do? It's like fighting your own dog!

Subculture: You ever see Old Yeller?

Trevor Mach: Never finished it. Why?

1 Screening of Old Yeller Later

Trevor Mach: *sobbing* NO! WHY DID THEY DO THAT?! THAT POOR DOG!

Subculture: It was rabid Mach. It had to be done. Why did we watch a whole movie for me to make this point? What a waste of time.

Trevor Mach: ...Fine, Tomo-kun has to eat the knee just like everyone else. It's going to be intense violence, but that's what I do. I won't let Greed or the Angel Family get in the way of the "Trevolution"!

Subculture: The what?

Trevor Mach: The "Trevolution"?

Subculture: Dude....that's hardcore.

Trevor Mach: I know right!?

Subculture: It's so simple and obvious, and yet genius. Hidden in plain sight. That's going to sell some t-shirts.

Trevor Mach: Damn right!

Dragon Shiryu: Excuse me, are you two talking about Tack Angel?

Trevor Mach: We were.

Subculture: Now we're thinking merch money. What's up?

Dragon Shiryu: If we're discussing who must face Tack Angel, then the answer is me. I've waited long enough, observed the growing threat, but now I must stop him. I must stop Hades once and for all, even if I have to fight him at the very gates of Hell, to send him back to the underworld where he belongs.

Trevor Mach: ...Now THAT'S hardcore! Let HIM fight Tack!

Saturn City Courthouse

Trevor Mach and Lady M's sat in front of a judge, very puzzled as to why they were there...

Trevor Mach: What did the summons say again?

Lady M's: Something about Christina. I don't know, it's the only reason I actually showed up.

Trevor Mach: But you didn't read it?

Lady M's: Would you have?

Trevor Mach: Obviously not.

Bailiff: Order in the court. All rise for the Honorable Judge Stevefans.

Trevor Mach: Stevefans?

Judge Stevefans: You may be seated.

Trevor Mach: Your honor? Your name...is it Stevens or Stephens?

Judge Stevefans: It's Stevefans.

Trevor Mach: Like Steve....and then fans? Stevefans?

Judge Stevefans: Yes.

Trevor Mach: ...I don't know if I can handle this Tali.

Lady M's: Allow me. Your name is weird and it sucks your honor.

Judge Stevefans: ...I know. Now, you're here in the matter of a custody hearing correct?

Lady M's: Custody hearing?

Judge Stevefans: Yes, in the matter of one Christina Angel. Please, bring in the parents now.

Trevor Mach: OH COME ON!

Tack and Amy Angel sat at the other table, along with Iroha.

Iroha: Thank you your Honor, I will be the attorney for the Angels.

Judge Stevefans: Machs, do you have your attorney present?

Lady M's: We'll be...uh...our own attorneys?

Judge Stevefans: Suit yourself.

Tack Angel: Well this got easier!

Judge Stevefans: Miss Iroha, you may proceed.

Iroha: It's Mrs. Iroha actually and-

Trevor Mach: Oh yeah? Who you married to?

Iroha: Let's get to the matter at hand. Christina Angel belongs in the custody of her loving and caring parents, yet she has been deceived and taken away by the Machs here. We wish for them to be barred from ANY further contact, and for Christina to be returned home.

Tack Angel: That's right your honor. I am but a simple Star Prince, trying to build a Crystalline Kingdom for his family, and through my toiling and my hard work, this man and his wife stand in my way. They batter me and my family with major nega vibes, and I WON'T HAVE IT!

Lady M's: I object!

Judge Stevefans: On what grounds?

Lady M's: On the grounds that this guy is a delusional asshole, and I don't know how many times I have to tell him that.

Tack Angel: You see what I have to go through?!

Judge Stevefans: Overruled.

Lady M's: Shit!

Iroha: My clients are heart broken. They're wonderful parents, and great people, and they just want their daughter home.

Trevor Mach: Great people?! Their daughter HAD to leave because they gave her no choice! That dick over there has a harem! A HAREM YOUR "HONOR".

Judge Stevefans: A "harem"?

Iroha: Your honor the married status of the couple is not on tri-

Lady M's: Iroha's one of his wives.

Iroha: I am NOT ashamed of that fact! Senpai treats me like a Queen, and I love him with all of my heart. I know for a fact, that Tack is a fantastic husband, father, and lover.

Trevor Mach: I know we're not friends anymore, but dude....nice.

Tack Angel: Don't talk to me! You stole my daughter!

Trevor Mach: I did NOT! She left because you wouldn't listen to her. You wouldn't help her when she needed it. You were only there for yourself!

Tack Angel: And SUDDENLY you are father of the year?! You've been nothing but trouble to me and my family for years! I do everything as right as I can, and since it's me, that's REALLY right. I help people, I honor my family, and I help the community. I have always fought for the right reasons.

Trevor Mach: You kicked your future son-in-law in the balls!

Tack Angel: FRUIT BASKET! YOU are never going to get one of those, but I will still try and forgive you for all of this, because that is what a hero does. I'm not pretending to suddenly be a good guy, like you. I've always been here.

Trevor Mach: I'm sorry, I can't hear you over your ego. Look, I don't know what's good or bad anymore, but I am who I am. I'm more lucid than I've been in years, and the wife and I are even wearing pants at home again.

Tack Angel: WHO WEARS PANTS AT HOME?! Your honor, they are clearly unfit for-

Lady M's: Your honor, I can settle this with one fact.

Judge Stevefans: Proceed.

Lady M's: Christina isn't even in our custody to begin with. She's in her 20's!

Judge Stevefans: ....Case dismissed!

Tack Angel: NO! I just want my daughter back!

Lady M's: Then trying being Star Dad, and not Star Prince you Star Prick.

Tack Angel: Your honor, make her stop with the language!

Judge Stevefans: ...Get out of my courtroom.

Battle Spirits Dojo

Bashin Dan was hard at work training as always, taking breaks to continue a game of Battle Spirits every so often. Cade walked in...

Cade: So, this is the place I've heard so much about.

Bashin Dan: Oh hey! Here for a rematch?

Cade: Actually, I was hoping to train here.

Bashin Dan: Here?

Cade: The Dan Club, it's going to be the next big thing. I can tell. I mean look at you, already a World Champion. I'm impressed.

Bashin Dan: I'm impressed by you. We went to a Time Limit Draw. I was giving my best, and you matched me. If I can win the World Championship, then so could you. So you want to train here? Welcome aboard.

Cade: Thanks, I-

Bashin Dan: It's a $200 a month fee but-I'm just kidding! I have a weird sense of humor like that.

Cade: ...Oh. I see.

Bashin Dan: Do you play Battle Spirits?

Bad Dudes Bar

Trevor Mach was cleaning bar glasses, when Tack Angel kicked the door in...before carefully wiping off the shoe print and slowly closing the door behind him.

Trevor Mach: What the hell bro?

Tack Angel: That was rude. My bad. Listen, I'll get right down to it, I'm tired of this game. You need to stop your nonsense, and tell me where my daughter is right now!

Trevor Mach: Listen, and listen carefully. She is an ADULT, and she's SICK of your SHIT! She's hanging out with Hope right now, because those kids are actually NOT crazy, unlike us!

Tack Angel: See, you say a lot of things that make sense, but I know you're full of....it. It's just a game. It's a ploy! You are my enemy!

Trevor Mach: You're pissing me off Tack! You know what, back out of here now, or you're going to get the beast alright? If you were in the wild, I would attack you, even if you weren't in my food chain. I would go out of my way to attack you. If I were a lion and you were a tuna, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you!

Tack Angel: OK, first off: a lion, swimming in the ocean. Lions don't like water. If you placed it near a river or some sort of fresh water source, that makes sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, 20 foot wave, I'm assuming off the coast of the Deep Darkness, coming up against a full grown 800 pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends, you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10. Wait a minute....she's with Hope? I know where she is!

Trevor Mach: Hey! Wait a minute!

Hope Mach: Here are those extra bar stools Dad.

Christina Angel: Who was that just now?

Trevor Mach: Heh.

?

In a dark alley, Kinniku Mike approached two figures.

Kinniku Mike: So here's the deal. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of fighting for the top spot that I deserve. I'm the real live shit, and this is how I get treated? They want happy go lucky Mike. They want tit obsessed Mike. I'm done with it. I'm Kinniku Mike. Kinniku is Muscle. With Muscle, we overpower the competition, and take what is ours. The three of us, we're going to power through them all. We're going to destroy them with our muscles and magnificent physiques! Are you in?

Vjhearson Golvoth: I'm in!

Retro Hippie: ME TOO!

Vjhearson Golvoth: ...

Kinniku Mike: Alright! Let's do this!

Vjhearson Golvoth: ...Seriously?

Saturn City Youth Center

Tack Angel stood outside of the empty youth center...

Tack Angel: Huh...I thought for sure she'd be here. Am I THAT out of touch? No....no it's the children who are wrong.

Trevor Mach: WE'VE GOT THREE MINUTES UNTIL THE REACTOR EXPLODES!

Lady M's: We'll never make it! You've got to get out of here! Save yourself!

Trevor Mach: I won't leave you!

Lady M's: Don't worry about me! I'm a robot! I'm just a machine!

Trevor Mach: No, you're not!

Tracy: It's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!

Tack Angel: I KNEW IT!

Kinniku Mike: I never knew what love truly was, until I learned what it was like to take care of you.

Dog: BARK!

Kinniku Mike: I love you too pupper.

Trevor Mach: Try the backup power in your CPU!

Lady M's: I can't! My circuits are fried! They're fried, I tell you!

Trevor Mach: Then I'm just going to have to carry you!

Amigo: That'll be a neat trick, *pulls gun* WHEN YOU'RE DEAD!

Trevor Mach: DAMN YOU BASTARD AMIGO!

And now the conclusion...

Ryan IQ: ...What was that?!

EBW: Star Prince - The Destruction of Trevor Mach in 3D
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
Renegade Television

1. EBW Trios Championship: Kinniku Mike(c)/Vjhearson Golvoth(c)[o]/Retro Hippie(c) beat Franky/Shark #1/Shark #2[x] via Powerbomb -> Pin -> Title Defense!
2. Sky Runner #1 Contender: Kiva beat Grind, Dark Kiva[x], Hexagon III, El Mago, and Los Tiburon via Kiva Dive -> Pin
3. Singles: Jamie OD beat Sal Paradise via Penalty Kick -> Pin
4. Singles: Camilo Ortega vs. Amigo ended in a Double Countout
5. EBW No Rules Championship: Firebrand MAX(c) beat Troy via Fireslide MAX through a table -> Pin -> Title Defense!
6. 6-Man Tag: Tack Angel[o]/Ness/Stuart beat Trevor Mach[x]/Subculture/Dragon Shiryu via WRIST CLUTCH Constellation Driver -> Pin

-The new team known as MUSCLE made a successful defense of the Trios Championship against Franky and the Sharks. Franky Fly was livid after the loss, telling the Sharks to get in shape or they would be replaced.
-A high flying Sky Runner match was next, to determine the #1 Contender for Starbound's title. Wild action, and not JUST spot monkey nonsense, because some luchadors actually know ring psychology, and Los Tiburon kept swatting them down at every turn. The redeemed Kiva thwarted his evil twin with the Kiva Dive, and claimed the #1 Contender spot.
-Jamie OD and Sal Paradise AGAIN had a hard hitting war, and many are wondering if their hatred for each other will ever end. The answer? Yes...for about 10 seconds. Bloody and beaten, the two were going really far for this being a match booked by Tack Angel just days ago. The two looked at each other, and realized that hatred was breeding more hatred, and nothing could be gained by more pointless fighting and wars. They were about to embrace, but then they remembered how much money they make hating each other and went back at it. Jamie OD escaped the Nekobreaker, and downed Sal before hitting the Penalty Kick for the 1-2-3.
-Camilo Ortega and Amigo lit up the ring with a fantastic grappling encounter. Ortega, the Judo expert used his takedowns to great effect, matched with Amigo's amateur wrestling background, and the fans were really getting behind it....until they went to the outside and got themselves counted out. A great match stopped by countout. 10 Counts are bullshit!
-Firebrand MAX and Troy battled it out again, TO THE EXTREME! No wait, I mean...to No Rules. It was No Rules, because the title was on the line. Anyways....Firebrand won with a Fireslide MAX through a table, so that's awesome.
-BONUS MATCH: Me vs. Writer's Block! Damn you writer's block! I will get my revenge, by....finishing this subpar write up! HAHAHA!
-Main event time, as Tack Angel came out to a big reaction....a big reaction of boos! His wives were dressed as cheerleaders, holding all the pom-poms together, as he burst forth all smiles, until the boos of course. He was joined by Ness and Stuart as they took on EBW World Champion Trevor Mach, Subculture, and Dragon Shiryu. The Golden Takumi Inui watched from the stage, golden sword in hand. A great match, that wasn't AS good as the Amigo vs. Camilo match BUT didn't end in count out, so it wins by default. Mach and Angel continue a heated war, but their actions and moves in these matches continue to evolve. Mach busted out the Go 2 Mach, for only the second time and nearly scored the pin. Conversely, Mach was able to escape wrist clutch after wrist clutch, until Angel went to the well for his super ULTRA finisher, the WRIST CLUTCH CONSTELLATION DRIVER!!! 1-2-3! The World Champion was pinned by Tack Angel, as he went out to celebrate with his wives and his titles. Mach shaken, but laughed at that Angel had to use his big finisher for a throwaway match.

Tack Angel: Hey! Don't laugh at me Trevor. I beat you! It truly was Star Prince: The Destruction of Trevor Mach....in 3D.

Trevor Mach: Really Tack? Come on dude, you know you can't keep a Bad Man down. You got me that one time, and if it's another match you want for this World Championship, then you've got it. I'd like nothing more than to knee the "Angel Family" one by one, sorry ladies. I WOULD do that, but if you want that title match, you've got to go through HIM first.

Tack Angel: Eh?

Takumi launched off the stage and clobbered Tack with the Crimson Smash.

Tack Angel: GARAGAGAGHAHAAA!

Trevor Mach: Ha! Kick his ass Takumi, and I'll see you real soon bro.

[video=youtube]rYkWn8zOVvk[/video]

A flash of white fills any vision, blinding by it's radiance. There in the Space-Time Door Room once more you see the uniformed Sailor Pluto standing before you. She strikes the butt of her Key Shaped Staff on the ground, echoing it's sound.

Sailor Pluto: Good Evening, I welcome you back. I see that you have a curious look on your face, I'm guessing that you want to know more. maybe it would hold answers that you hope to know of your Star Prince? That is the very reason I called you here. Let us begin.

Sailor Pluto waves her staff as the vision changes. Here we see a grand battle, demons and monsters rampaging a forest. many tows with billowing smoke as fires break out. Hundreds of soldiers rushing past the trees to fight of the demonic menace. Elements bursting out as dark beings fly off from the ground.

???: Shine Aqua Illusion!

???: World Shaking!

???: Gemini Blast!

???: Oak Evolution!

???: Star Blast Destroy!

A large orb-like hole is conjured as the demons & monsters rush into it. A Red Haired Woman shouts near the ole.

Red Haired Woman: Retreat! Retreat! We will return, of that I can guarantee. I will have revenge!

the last of the demons & the woman go through the hole just as it dissipates into nothingness. The soldiers cheer in great volume, proclaiming victory. Hardened Warriors in Sailor Fuku & Oendan Happi Uniforms lead their armies back to base. A gilded uniformed man accompanied by four men in similar dress approach the arriving armies.

Gilded Man: I, Prince Mamoru of the Earth Kingdom, extend my eternal gratitude for the battle won today! Together, we were able to push back the invading army, and stay the threat to our galaxy with great loss. The people of the Earth Kingdom will forever be in debt for this day!

The arriving soldier cheer in appreciation as the four men accompanying Prince Mamoru congratulate their sire. Men upon men boarding ships as they rise and ext the planet's atmosphere.

The vision changes. Now showing that of a lush green planet. Trees upon trees upon trees blanket the majority of the land. Off in the distance is a kingdom, many buildings with sloping rooftops, many people coming & going throughout the kingdom, in the middle a castle built into a giant tree. Inside we see a war room with communication receivers, monitors of various parts of the planet, & the Princess Jupiter Makoto still in uniform from the earlier battle as she talks with generals, royal planners, & a Chancellor. Princess Jupiter finishes talking and bows as she exits the war room.

Princess Jupiter stumbles down the hallway and eventually returned to her chambers with a sense of wearyness and pain. As she began to undo her uniform, the aches and pains from each battle began to weigh on her. sweeping her arm as she undid a drawstring reminded her of the same motion from earlier in the week. drawing out her lance as she swiped away a foul demon. As Makoto stood and motioned to her bath, she paused to note the scars of war were written onto her body. Raising her hands to her sight and noting the callousness, the stitches, the blackened marks of lightning, and the pain.

Makoto: A war such as this, for the price I now lay bare.

Makoto cradles her hands up to her chest, tilting her view away from her reflection.

Makoto: I so dream of a day where I no longer know the follies of such strife.

Hours pass, the Star Prince, Tack Angelsmythe arrives at the vine gates of the Kingdom of Jupiter. He is greeted by fellow soldiers.

Soldier 1: Hey! There's the hero himself!

Soldier 2: We wouldn't have won the battle, if it was for you sire!

The Star Prince rested his hands on the two shoulders of Jupiter's Footmen

Tack: Of that title, I shall not agree. Twas you fine gentlemen, and your fellow man standing side-by-side. THAT is what won this battle. If t'were myself alone or only with the Star & Planetary Guardians, we could not have done it just by ourselves.

The two men shone a bright smile that opened a wound stitching for one and tensed a bruise for the other.

Tack: Please, tell the barkeep that the rounds tonight for your men are on me. I will send approval.

The two soldiers cheered in favor of their soon to be Prince-In-Law. The Star Prince made his way through the Castle Jupiter, greeting and giving thanks to each soldier that he came across to meet with the Chancellor.

Chancellor: Ah, my dear Star Prince. What makes the occasion? Here to see the Princess again?

Tack: With your permission Chancellor.

Chancellor: My boy, you have no need for permission again. After all, you are soon to be a King of your Kingdom and an Emperor of ours. Our Castle, is by all means yours.

The Star Prince bows in respect

Tack: My thanks, Chancellor. May God rest the former Emperor & Empress.

Chancellor: May God rest them, indeed.

The Star Prince makes his way to Princess Jupiter's chambers, and is greeted by the doorwomen. He stops, knowing the proceedure, and one doorwoman makes her way inside.

Doorwoman: Your highness?

Makoto: Yes?

Doorwoman: The Prince of the Star Kingdom, Tackleton Angelsmythe is here to meet with you.

Makoto flashes in joy, but quickly notes her worn state. She quickly grabs some formal gloves and hurries them on.

Makoto: Send him in, please.

The Doorwoman leaves and shortly thereafter, the Star Prince enters.

Tack: My Princess, it is good to see you.

Makoto: It is good to see you as well. How had the debriefing gone? Was it too terrible?

Tack: T'would seem that our losses were not too many as before, only a few dozen or so. How for you?

Makoto: T'would seem that our end was only a handful. I asked our connections with the other Planetary Kingdoms and it seemed that the brunt of losses fell on the Earth Kingdom's.

Tack: It t'would make sens as the battle started there. I have no idea how Prince Mamoru handles this.

Makoto: To my understanding, his four generals are his rock. They brace him emotionally from this invasion.

Princess Jupiter motions to the Star Prince to the seat next to her. He obliges, and the two conversate. In the same as the aforementioned Generals support Earth's Prince, so too does Star Prince & Princess Jupiter support each other.

Hours pass, and night falls. Trees are heard rustling as the wind rushes through, laughter & song can be heard as the tavern is full of merry but strained men, and a lone window glows in Castle Jupiter. In a room of silence both the Star Prince & Princess Jupiter sit together, head on the other, as they take respite in each other's comfort. Arm in arm, the Star Prince sighs and reaches for the hand of Princess Jupiter. Makoto seeing this pulls her hand back and sits up. She cradles her hands to her chest again and turns away. Puzzled, the Star Prince speaks.

Tack: What is the matter my Princess?

Makoto: These are not the hands of a Princess, these are of a soldier's, a tomboy's, blackened & bruised, they aren't of any worth but for battle.

Tack: Let me see

Makoto looks up in worry and turns away, but the Star Prince clasps her hand and pulls of the glove. There he sees the callousness, the stitches, the blackened marks of lightning. He begins to thumb the hand as it flinches in pain. Princess Makoto looks at the Star Prince in worry as it seems he is studying her hand carefully. The Star Prince raises the hand of Princess Makoto and rests it on his cheek, causing Princess Jupiter to yelp in shock.

Tack: These are hand of love, not of battle.

Makoto: No, that's not true!

Tack: I disagree, in this hand I feel the love for her Kingdom, the love of her people, the love of those in need. It is a hand that is of invaluable worth, as the love I feel of of greater weight than the war it has seen.

Princess Jupiter's eyes begin to well up, as the Star Prince reaches over to comfort her. In doing so the vision becomes blurry, and changes to back in the room with the Space-Time Door. Sailor Pluto stands in front of you.

Sailor Pluto: Heavy is the crown of a kingdom at war. Far less than that of this many. The strife of this Star Prince is similar to that of yours and mine own. Wearing the scars of battle of not just of himself, but of those closest to him. you may note that your Star Prince takes great pride in the opinion of those around him. This is not a mistake, as so this Star Prince took to heart of Princess Jupiter's scars, so too does yours bear the disapproval of his goals of a Crystal Fourside. Where your Star Prince has many a rock to rely on, a single pebble that falls can cause that overwhelming light to burst through.

Sailor Pluto sways her staff as the room changes to that of a starry sky.

Sailor Pluto: Light is a very powerful element, in order to harness light one has to be able to completely cover it. It can be as simple as my Star Prince's Star Ruby, this Star Prince's love for his betrothed, or in your Star Prince's case... well. I believe you haven't gotten to that point. I can only say that your Star Prince may or may not recover from this, it is not my place to tell. However, I can say that we will meet again. There is much to tell, I look forward to our next meeting.

The bright blinding light returns, obscuring all vision of what was once.

Sailor Pluto: Stars are not something meant to last forever...

Crystal Fourside

Tack Angel looked out from the second story of his home, with his father Wayne Angel...

Wayne Angel: Well son, you've done it, whatever this is. I'm just glad you have hobbies quite frankly. It's good for you to get out and do more.

Tack Angel: It's more than a hobby Dad. It's a calling. Something that has been haunting me, resonating through the air. I heard it calling to me. I've been lied to, and I've been used. I've been made to feel bad, when I'm truly good. Through it all, this vision was fixed in my head. A vast Kingdom of Crystal.

The micro-nation of Crystal Fourside was nearing completion of its initial structures, with more being planned as the Angel Family racked in more money from their combined incomes.

Tack Angel: Crystal Fourside.

Wayne Angel: Well, you're doing something you enjoy, and I think that's great!

Tack Angel: ....You never listen Dad!

Wayne Angel: What?

EBW Training Center - Onett

The rechristened Training Center in Onett had its grand opening, with many of the wrestlers training near the original street where EBW began. Trevor Mach walked the street with the EBW World Championship in hand.

Trevor Mach: Hello everyone! It's a beautiful day today isn't it mam?

Old lady: ...You let that monster blow up my husband's business!

Trevor Mach: Huh? Lady, that was years ago! Besides, I was trying to save this place! I never understood the grudge honestly.

Old Lady: You specifically told Lavos to blast the building to distract it! We were right next to an empty building!

Trevor Mach: ...Alright, so you have a point. My bad?

Old Lady: *sigh* It's alright. I know you meant well. Besides, at least you're not Tack Angel.

Trevor Mach: Somehow that's become my appeal.

Old Lady: You're nice boy. Forgive my rudeness.

Trevor Mach: It's all good. I'm trying out this new concept that's been working wonders on my stress levels. It's called forgiveness. Not sure where I picked it up, but it's good stuff. Have a great day.

Mach whistled his way into the training center, where he ran into Takumi Inui, hard at work with leg weights.

Trevor Mach: So, YOU must really want to kick me in head huh?

Takumi Inui: It's nothing personal, you just happen to be the EBW World Champion.

Trevor Mach: ...

Takumi Inui: Alright, so maybe I've been waiting for this since you unified the titles against me.

Trevor Mach: That's what I thought. Looking forward to it, but you've got yourself a problem.

Takumi Inui: The Star Prince. I'm not worried about it. See this? The Golden Sword, I won it by competing against the very best. If he wants to stand in my way, I'll take the challenge, and I'll beat him.

Trevor Mach: Now that's what I want to hear!

Takumi Inui: Don't take me lightly Mach. You know what I can do.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, I sure do. Man, this is great. Everybody wanting to form an alliance to end ME these days. I'm back in the game baby!

Bad Dudes Bar

Lady M's had the family over for a talk....

Lady M's: So, as you're all aware, the E1 Women's Edition is coming up. This is a chance to make history. It's the chance to be the very first woman to claim an E1 Climax Trophy. Now, I don't normally give a shit about being the first female anything, BUT it's a chance to be the first at something, and I'll take that. That's why I want to let you know it's no hard feelings when I send you all to the hospital.

Heather Mach: Oh is that right? Just like huh? Lady M's is just going win because she decreed it?

Lady M's: That's right.

Heather Mach: ...Well shit, what are we even doing then? She already called it. We're screwed.

Hope Mach: That's not how that works Aunt Heather. Mom, with all due respect, this is my chance to catch back up to Christina. She's the face of the division right now.

Rose Mulligan: M's isn't really doing this to gloat about future victory. She's just messing with you.

Lady M's: Yeah, you do know me better than I want to admit Rose. Yeah, that was just for shits and giggles. The wives of Tack Angel are not all competing, and instead they are electing one, and that one will be involved with names like Paula and Aly Smash. They are competing, but they're also using strategy here. The wives are not going to face each other. They're all committed to seeing the trophy go to Crystal Fourside. So we, need to put aside ego here. I'm not asking anyone to bow out, and I'm not asking you to pull punches. I'm demanding you give it everything BUT if you lose, we still support each other. We support each other, and we support Christina. They want to play a numbers game, and they have more. The Skulls & Bones have been damaged, but they will regroup. The Angels are a tight knit group. The model family...if it wasn't for the harem sex cult thing. Then, they also have Paula, and we go way back. We need to send a message before the E1, to level the playing field. Any idea?

Hope Mach: Well, we don't know who SB #4 and #5 are yet?

Rose Mulligan: I like that idea. I'd love to rip some masks off.

Heather Mach: So wait....do I still have a chance to win this or not?

Crystal Fourside

It was now nighttime, as Tack Angel continued to admire his creation.

Makoto: You really did it. Crystal Fourside. Your Kingdom reborn.

Tack Angel: I'm glad you realize that! Dad just kept offering me orange slices!

Makoto: He means well, he just doesn't realize what we've been through to get here.

Tack Angel: All the people that boo us. Everyone that fails to understand. We'll show them Makoto. We'll fight back the darkness. My vision has never been more clear. I'm back in the game.

Saturn City Cafe

The Dan Club were sitting at the cafe....again.

Benjamin: I want your honest opinion about something.

Bashin Dan: Have I ever been less than forthright?

Benjamin: No, you haven't. Well, maybe you have. What do I know.

Bashin Dan: Yeah, I probably have.

Benjamin: Bashin Dan, the Clash King, I need you to be as straight as an arrow with me about this. Are women in this era still attracted to armor? Because like, I'm getting confused about men dressed like women, and women dressed like men.

Bashin Dan: The world is a crazy deck my friend.

Vapetrain: Guys, what the hell are you talking about? Cade is here remember?

Cade: *waves*

Bashin Dan: Yes, I have a question to ask you.

Cade: Is it about this conversation? I'm not sure how I can help.

Bashin Dan: It regards the EBW Team Championships. I'm going to make sure that the Dan Club is THE team in EBW before I make declare a challenge to the EBW World Champion. To do that, we need a full team. Slam Master Jam was attacked, and needless to say, we need an extra guy. To this end I must ask-

Cade: Say no more, I know what you want.

Bashin Dan: You do?

Cade: Yes, and I'll be happy to help you find Slam Mascot Jam.

Bashin Dan: What? No, I-

Cade: I'm joking. You want me to sub in for Jam? You're letting me train at your dojo, so it seems like a fair trade. I'm in.

Bashin Dan: Nice.

Benjamin: That person over there, with the green hair and large holes in their ears. What IS that?

Vapetrain: That's obviously a girl....I think.

EBW Training Center - Onett

EBW World Champion Trevor Mach, fired up by a talk with Takumi Inui, gathered a large crowd around a ring.

Trevor Mach: Alright, so I'm here to take my training old school, since this is EBW again, and EBW is old school. That is why I have assembled theme 5, gigantic mole men that I found in the Dusty Dunes Desert! I will take them all on one at a time. What? Of course I can do this! We used to fight beasts all the time remember? I mean...we DID do that right? I had a few years there that were a little hazy. So, which one of you is first?

Guardian Digger #1: I'm the third strongest amongst us. Take your best shot!

Guardian Digger #2: I'm really the third strongest master. I'll destroy you now!

Guardian Digger #3: My strength falls between the second and fourth strongest masters. Do you wanna test me?

Guardian Digger #4: I'm truly the third strongest master of us. I'll demonstrate the power of being third to you!

Guardian Digger #5: Ha ha ha. Now you see the true advantage of being third!

Subculture: You moron moles, that doesn't make any sense! Which one of you is the best?! It's a simple question!

As Trevor laughed at the scene a bright flash filled his head. Suddenly, time seemed to slow down, and the images became distorted. He saw something totally different...

Saturn City - 2019

The city is in flames, with smoke billowing to the sky. People in the streets are screaming, as the sights and sounds of chaos and darkness engulf them. People were seeing their loved ones turn to ash right in front of them. Trevor was looking around, unfamiliar with the scene, but then it was like he lost control of his body, as he suddenly saw himself running into a basement with Jeff Andonuts and Degrees.

Degrees: We have to hurry! They did it! They actually did it!

Jeff Andonuts: This is bad. This is really bad! It might not be ready!

Degrees: No choice! We're going to-

Degrees turned to ash right before their eyes. Hope and Lady M's ran down to meet them.

Lady M's: No choice Trevor, you have to do this now. No turning back.

Trevor Mach: Wait! Let me get this straight! The solution to this is MORE time traveling?!

Jeff Andonuts: This isn't like before Trevor! This isn't just the end of this world, and of this time. We're looking at the end of everything EVERYWHERE! We're not going to send you back there to create more paradoxes. Those got us into these problems in the first place! No, this is a different system. We're going to send your mind back into yourself! How much will survive the trip? We have no idea. We NEED you to have advanced knowledge about these events to prevent them!

Trevor Mach: You're asking me to lose myself, by putting my mind back into the beast that I used to be.

Jeff Andonuts: The hope is that you'll overwrite some of those "flaws" you removed from your life.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, but what if I don't know why? The change happened through experience. What I became is because of where I've been. If I lose that experience, what will I become? Will I be capable of preventing this or will I BECOME the reason for this?!

Jeff Andonuts: We can't know for sure.

Trevor Mach: .....

Lady M's: It's our only chance. Trevor, I don't want you to have to do this. I wish I could. I wish you didn't have to lose all that you've gained, but maybe you can make it all better. Maybe, you can be the hero.

Trevor Mach: I'll never lose my darkness. If I do this now, I'll NEVER lose the darkness in my heart.

Lady M's: Then you'll become a hero in darkness. You can do this.

Hope Mach: Dad, I'm scared. It's coming for us!

Trevor Mach: ....No Hope...you don't have to be scared....you don't have to be scared ever again. I'll do it Jeff. Send me back. Send me back now!

EBW Training Center - Onett

Trevor Mach shook off the vision, to see Subculture continuing to talk to the moles.

Subculture: Alright, so let me get this straight. So, you all challenged each other to individual combat, and you all won twice and lost twice? Holy shit, you all really ARE the third strongest! Trevor, who is going to be?

Trevor Mach: Huh? Third strongest? Fine, that one.

Subculture: What all at once?!

Trevor Mach: What?! Subbie help!
 

?

Trevor Mach, Subculture, and Christina Angel were trapped in a room with spiked walls...wait how did they get there?!

Trevor Mach: So, anybody else not impressed by "Maniac's Murder Hall of Sorrow"?

Subculture: Yeah, it's more like a basement of sorrow or something.

Trevor Mach: Christina? Can you fit through the hole?

Christina Angel was trying to wiggle her way through an opening, resembling Maniac as a demon.

Christina Angel: I can't get my shoulders through.

Trevor Mach: Great. We need the baby Christina Angel in this situation. Surely that asshole is going to like...try to kill us soon or something.

Subculture: Unless they already caught him.

Trevor Mach: Huh....I wonder.

Maniac: Hey...who the hell is down there? I can hear you from the demon mouth.

Trevor Mach: Maniac, you piece of shit. Let us out of here!

Maniac: How did you end up there?! Did I lure you in? I don't remember doing that.

Subculture: Well you did. You told us you knew who the attacker was, and we fell for it.

Trevor Mach: You fell for it. I followed you.

Subculture: If you didn't believe him, why didn't you say anything?!

Trevor Mach: I'm going through some shit right now, and my mind was occupied alright? Give me a break.

Subculture: He's going to KILL us!

Maniac: Would if I could, but the walls don't close in or anything. It's mostly just for show.

Trevor Mach: ...You should put like a TV down here or something. Maybe a pool table. Make it Maniac's Man Cave.

Maniac: ...Not a bad idea, I-

Christina Angel: LET US OUT OF HERE!

Maniac: Tack's kid is down there?! Hang on, I'll unlock the door. Don't want to piss that guy off. He's the REAL crazy one.

Trevor Mach: *sigh* I used to strike fear like that.

Subculture: No, you didn't.

Trevor Mach: ....No, I didn't.

Locker Room

The KO Bombers wearily limped into the locker room...

Trevor Mach: ...Captain Strong beat me to the punch on the whole 80's Cop thing. Am I losing my touch?

Subculture: Who cares? I'm still confused why we were trying to save the day in the first place! Not our job!

Trevor Mach: I like to meddle Subbie! Meddling is what I do. Kicking ass and meddling. That's me living my best life and-

Subculture: ALRIGHT! I got it!

Trevor Mach: I'm going into my wife's locker room.

Subculture: I don't care if you want to shower with your wife.

Trevor Mach: Well I was thinking, let her know I'm alive. I was gone for days after all.

Subculture: Right....that makes sense. Later.

Stuart: Huh, so you're back. I figured you were dead.

Subculture: Sometimes, I wish I were too. What the hell do you want?

Stuart: Nothing. I want nothing from you. I can't gloat, or even laugh at you. I pity you.

Subculture: Pity me?

Stuart: Second fiddle to Trevor Mach. You used to have fire. You would die to win, and you did everything to become the World Champion. Your biggest rival is the EBW World Championship, and you just opened a dojo with him! Pathetic.

Subculture: Heh. You trying to get to me huh? I hate to tell you Stu, but it's not going to work. See, I think I found something else to live for. I have a daughter in the future waiting for me, and her mother is the woman I never knew I wanted. See you in the ring asshole.

Stuart: Hmmm. That could be a problem.

Crystal Fourside

Tack Angel woke up from his pile of wives and walked to the balcony. The moon bouncing off the crystal structures made the kingdom shimmer.

Amy Angel: Tack, are you alright honey?

Tack Angel: Well for one thing, it was REALLY hot under the pile of oppai, but I'll never let anything stop me from sleeping in my own oppai fortress.

Amy Angel: Got it. What else?

Tack Angel: I had it again. I had the Monica Bellucci dream.

Amy Angel: *sigh* I know she's stacked but-

Tack Angel: No no, your oppai is all that I need....yours and theirs of course. No, this is different. She told me things, about my destiny. She was sitting at a cafe, and I think I saw the Dan Club there too, talking about women and stuff. She was smoking a cigarette, and I asked her to put it out, but she reminded me that it was a dream, so it actually smelled like apple pie, so that was cool. She told me to beware the usurper to the Kingdom. Yet another warning from the beyond that Trevor Mach is bad news. I will see to it that I claim that World Championship, and I will take my rightful place as not just the Star Prince, but the Constellation King. The Star Kingdom will rule over EBW, and then....we will finally have peace.

Amy Angel: ...Monica Bellucci told you all that?

EBW Wrestling Update!

Nani: Nani here, with your big update on the E1 Climax....WOMEN'S EDITION! Yes, this year, the greatest tournament of all time, gets a Women's Edition! It's not an evolution. It's not a revolution. It's just....well it just makes sense. Like, it's groundbreaking and all, but I don't think anyone really imagined that women couldn't do this before. We just finally have a sizeable enough roster for it. We have plenty of people to thank for this. Not just one person. Not one person in a position of authority, who would claim credit for the very creation of anything related to the women. No, this is become all of the hard working wrestlers earned this. Yes, I'm taking digs at some stupid other brand. I hate the way they do things....all things. Here are the blocks.

Crystal Fourside

After a night of Monica Bellucci dreams, Tack Angel groggily walked his way into the kitchen. He proceeded to add a variety of fruits and vegetables in a blender.

Stuart: Good morning brother.

Tack Angel: Morning.

Stuart: More Monica Bellucci dreams?

Tack Angel: Yeah...like every night now. Like I need my subconscious to tell me what I already know. Trevor Mach....my supposed old friend....has turned everyone against me. I don't need Monica Bellucci's all seeing oppai to tell me that.

Stuart: You're forgetting Subculture.

Tack Angel: ...Oh right...it's hard to keep track of the Kingdom's enemies these days.

Stuart: *sigh* He needs to be dealt with brother. Now, I'm just trying to offer advice here, but he is helping to drive a wedge between you and your daughter.

Tack Angel: Right...right. Well, maybe another stern talking to is in order. I know one thing, he's not getting another fruit basket. Wait...no I shouldn't do that. I need to win the people back with my righteousness. I am the hero of this story, and I need to make people believe in heroes again. I need to show them the light! I need to...

Stuart: Turn off the blender?

Tack Angel: Huh? Oh right.

Stuart: What is that?

Tack Angel: I call it "Star Juice". It's a special blend of my own creation. I credit it with my good health.

Stuart: What's in it?

Tack Angel: A little of this....a little of that....and a special fruit I discovered in the Deep Darkness, the Star Fruit. See it? It looks like a star.

Stuart: Yeah, I see that. Can I try it?

Tack Angel: Sure.

Stuart: *sips*

Tack Angel: Cracker doodles, look at all these bills. I need to make some more money. Ever since they changed Tacko Bell to Bashin Bell, the money has been getting a little ti-

Stuart: Wow! This is good stuff Tack.

Tack Angel: You really think so?

Stuart: I do. Hey, you need some cash flow, and I know just how to do it.

Tack Angel: Yeah?

Stuart: We sell the Star Juice!

Tack Angel: ...You think it's that good?

Stuart: I do. Good and good for you right?

Tack Angel: Yeah! We have to do this right though. If we're going to sell it, I want it to be made here in the Star Kingdom.

Stuart: ....We have no infrastructure for that.

Tack Angel: ...I can get more blenders.

Stuart: No no, let me handle this. I know for a fact that a building in Saturn City is coming up to purchase, and I have....connections, that can ensure we get it.

Tack Angel: Alright then, but let's make sure we spin this positively alright? I want the people to know that the Star Prince might be royalty from the stars, but hey, he's a fun guy too!

Stuart: ...I think we can manage that.

Tack Angel: I have a good feeling about this.

Days Later...

Office

Two men were sitting in the office, looking tired.

Man #1: Man, I am just so tired. I didn't have breakfast, and-

Man #2: You need something to get you going in the morning? I feel you man, but I just don't know wha-

Tack Angel jumped up behind them...

Tack Angel: ♪GOOD NEWS, IT'S BRAND NEW STAR JUICE!♪

Man #1: AH!

Man #2: HOLY *BLEEP*!

Tack Angel: ...Sorry guys. *clears throat* Star Juice is THE perfect drink to get you going in the morning! It's good, and it's good for you! You know what else is good for you? Rooting for the good guy and loving your family and-

Movie Theater

Woman #1: I really want to watch this movie, but I just don't have that all natural energy that I need to-

Tack Angel: ♪GOOD NEWS, IT'S BRAND NEW STAR JUICE!♪

Crowd: SHHHHHH!!!!

Tack Angel: *whispers* Sorry. So, Star Juice can be used for any situation. It's full of fruits and vegetables, and that combination will get you though anything. It's a large mix of components, like a man having many wives, but they're both good becua-

Announcer: Buy BRAND NEW Star Juice today!

Tack Angel: *whisper* Hey, I wasn't fini-

Battle Spirits Dojo

Cade and the Dan Club stood in front of their dojo...

Bashin Dan: Guys, it's a brand new day, and that means a new day to train and better ourselves!

Vapetrain: You have too much energy for so early in the morning.

Bashin Dan: I just feel like it's going to be a big day for us! Door open! Let's go!

Suddenly a construction wrecking ball smashed into the front of the building.

Bashin Dan: WHOA!

Benjamin: A vile mechanical dragon attacks! Let's get it! Alright, everyone pick your order of attack and-

Vapetrain: Quiet you. How are we just now noticing all this construction stuff.

Cade: Excuse me, what's going on here?

Construction Guy: You mean you don't know? This place was bought out. The new owner wants it remodeled for whatever reason.

Cade: What? Bought out? By who?

Construction Guy: It says here, the "Star Kingdom". They are turning this into some manufacturing center for some new juice or something.

Bashin Dan: Thank you highly informed construction man. Star Kingdom? So, Tack Angel did this?

Vapetrain: And people booed me when I tried to beat that asshole! The Alliance to End Star Prince was RIGHT!

Bashin Dan: *sigh* ...Well, we can't give up....but what now?

Cade: ...I have an idea.

Bad Dudes Dojo

Cade and the Dan Club stood in front of the bar turned dojo...

Bashin Dan: This was a good idea Cade.

Cade: Yeah...just...look for wrecking balls first.

Bashin Dan: Everyone look left. Everyone look right. Nothing? Alright, let's go.

Office of IQ and Pirkle

The two bosses of EBW were hard at work, deliberating on important issues...

Ryan IQ: And I'm saying the catering budget is already too big!

Mr. Pirkle: The food is gone before the show even starts.

Ryan IQ: Blame Amigo! You ever see him pile his plate full?! I don't know how that man eats so much, yet remains in good shape! I've never seen such a large sandwich before!

Mr. Pirkle: Solution! We make Greed pay the bill.

Ryan IQ: They are laying low right now. Do we really want to stir up trouble?

Mr. Pirkle: Yeah, but money though.

Ryan IQ: ...That's a good point. We'll send Little Mac the bill.

Mr. Pirkle: See? We can work this out.

Ryan IQ: It's a good arrangement. EBW is stronger than Havok and WBPW were separately.

?: Well then, perhaps a change of scenery can drum up even more business.

Ryan IQ: Huh?

A man in the shadows tipped his cowboy hat and lit a cigarette.

Ryan IQ: Who are you?

?: Not REALLY important, but you can call me Earl.

Mr. Pirkle: Earl? Just Earl?

Earl: Just Earl.

Ryan IQ: Wait, I know you I think. Mach said you tried to kill him once.

Earl: Not just once. Stuart hitting the streets again, sort of my doing.

Ryan IQ: I see.

Earl: He's your son, so I figured you'd be grateful for that.

Ryan IQ: You think he is too huh?

Earl: I KNOW he is pal.

Ryan IQ: .....

Mr. Pirkle: Getting off topic here. Why are you here "Earl"?

Earl: I find myself in and out with current administration. Sometimes, I'm doing work freelance, and other times, they come crying for me to do them another favor. Been loaned to interpol this time around, and I have a job to do, a job that would be A LOT easier, with your cooperation.

Ryan IQ: What do you want from EBW? It's a wrestling company.

Earl: You say that, and yet this wrestling company has created political and economic changes everywhere it has been for the last decade or so. It's interesting, I've looked up sealed records about a former working agreement with a certain organization regarding undercover work. Of course, you COULD just watch old footage of your boys and girls fighting off monsters in the streets. People forget quickly don't they....or they just don't care. I care. I remember. It helps for times like these. So back to the question, what I want from EBW? I want you to host your tournament in Dalaam.

Mr. Pirkle: That's all?

Earl: That's all....more or less.

Mr. Pirkle: Here we go.

Earl: I need certain members of the roster to scare up some information for me while you're there.

Ryan IQ: We need to know more.

Earl: Can't do that I'm afraid. It's need to know.

Ryan IQ: Like I just said, we NEED to know.

Earl: Heh. I like you guys. You're going to be fun to work with. Just think of it this way. I know for a fact that Dalaam would offer you a generous amount of money to run your tournament there. I'm talking big big money. They want that sort of thing, and I know a few guys and gals in the government that could help facilitate it. You have all the financial incentive that you need. I just need you there, and I need you to "hire" me to come along. When we're there, I will procure certain members of your roster to run a mission. That's all I can say right now. You want to do some good for your country?

Ryan IQ: ...We prefer doing good for our roster and our bottom line. We agree, but only if you can get the roster members you want to agree to this.

Earl: ...Not a problem.

Ryan IQ: Who do you even want?

Earl: Heh. Who the hell do you think?

Bad Dudes Dojo

Trevor Mach was practicing his Lukie Yoga in the ring, when he noticed Christina Angel working on something in the corner...

Trevor Mach: Hey kid, what do you got there?

Christina Angel: This? Oh, it's nothing, just something I tinker with.

Trevor Mach: Well, what is it?

Christina Angel: It's a haiku.

Trevor Mach: No shit? You do haikus huh? Can I see it?

Christina Angel: I'm embarrassed by my work.

Trevor Mach: *puts on clown nose* There, now you don't have to be embarrassed.

Christina Angel: Why did you have that on you?

Trevor Mach: ...I always have one. Why?

Christina Angel: Heh. No reason. Fine Uncle Trevor, take a look.

Trevor Mach: Let's see here. "Fog lifts, vision clear. A new hero in darkness. Black fire burns bright." Wow, that's really good.

Christina Angel: You really think so?

Trevor Mach: Yeah, it's bad ass. What's it about?

Christina Angel: ...It's about you actually.

Trevor Mach: Me? Damn, I'm honored kid. Really I am.

Christina Angel: You mean it?

Trevor Mach: Yeah, I do. Where did you learn to be so creative?

Christina Angel: ...My Dad taught me.

Trevor Mach: Oh...damn...I'm sorry.

Christina Angel: Don't be. I'm glad to have the memories. I don't know what happened to him, but I will always have the memories of when my Dad was my hero. I hope it's alright that I look at you like that now.

Trevor Mach: ...Of course, but I don't deserve that. Your Dad loves you kid. He wouldn't be doing all of this if he didn't. He's just taking a dip in the crazy pool. Trust me on this, I have a lifetime membership at that pool

Christina Angel: Hehehe.

?: Knock knock, am I interrupting?

Trevor's smile turned to anger as he turned around to see Earl in the doorway.

Trevor Mach: Wow, and here I was thinking I'd have to hunt you down one day. Thanks for making it easy.

As Trevor approached Earl, the man in the hat pulled a gun.

Earl: Whoa now, we don't want to make this ugly do we?

Trevor Mach: I do. I really do. You better make sure you aim accurately.

Earl: Hold on partner, we need to talk abo-

Trevor Mach: I don't care.

Earl: Wait!

Earl stepped aside, and a young boy appeared.

Trevor Mach: H-....wha....what is this Earl? What game are you playing?

Earl: Not a game. Well, maybe it could be for you, but I'm just doing my job here. Do you know who this? I bet you don't, but he looks familiar doesn't he? Looks like family right?

Trevor Mach: ...Who are you kid?

?: Hunter....Hunter Mach.

Trevor Mach: Wow...that's a bad ass name. Wait, so you're-

Earl: He's Derek's kid. Right on the money.

Trevor Mach: What is he doing here? He wasn't supposed to know about any of this!

Earl: Well, that cat's out of the bag. Don't blame me, his mother told me.

Trevor Mach: And where is she?

Earl: ....Safe...we'll just leave it at that.

Trevor Mach: Did you kidnap this kid? You sick son of a-

Earl: Language. The boy doesn't need to hear us banter. You need to be asking why we're here.

Trevor Mach: Fine. Spill it. Why are you here?

Earl: The triads in Dalaam have unifying under a single entity. Some figurehead, that's brought them in line and made them more dangerous. Instead of fighting each other, they are spreading their influence, and it's bad news.

Trevor Mach: What does that have to do with me or the kid?

Earl: Well, most just whisper about this figure head, but I have a picture and a name.

Earl handed Trevor a picture of a man in a suit and mask. The mask that belonged to...

Earl: "Void". They call the boss "Void".

Trevor Mach: Derek's....his...you think Derek is behind this? Last time I left him, he was having his own problems with at the River of Pain.

Earl: And the theory is, when you saved Hunter here, he was unchained, and let the beast loose. He hasn't been seen in that time, but this "Void" has been taking out big targets, and positioning himself in a place of power. He keeps himself under a mask we believe, because he's an outsider. No Dalaam man in the triads would want to be working for a Celt would they?

Trevor Mach: ...I can't get involved in your bullsh- I can't clean up your garbage Earl. I've got my own problems, and I'm trying to-

Earl: What? Trying a new way to live? Looks like it's working out. That beast, it doesn't just go away though does it? They call you the "Hero in Darkness" now don't they? Why is that? Because the Bad Man is still a Bad Man deep down inside. It's exactly what I need for this. Plus, it's a family affair, so it's entertaining for me. The whole roster will be heading to Dalaam very soon. I need you, but you're not the only one I need. I just figured you'd want to lead the team that will help me take down your cousin.

Trevor Mach: Take him down? No. I won't do that.

Earl: He's dangerous.

Trevor Mach: Always has been. So am I. Doesn't mean you can't change. I found out that I can. If I were to help you, it would be to make sure that Derek makes it out of this alive, so this little boy can see his father.

Hunter Mach: ....Are you really my family?

Trevor Mach: Apparently I am kid. We'll talk about that more in a bit. Why don't you go over there and say hi to Christina.....she's family too.

Christina smiled as she beckoned Hunter over.

Earl: So, I take it you're in?

Trevor Mach: I just wanted him over there, so I can tell you this. I am trying forgiveness right now, and so far it's not bad, but I swear if you screw with me, my family, or anyone in EBW. If you put ANYONE in danger, I WILL kill you.

Earl: Heh. Yeah, I believe you would. I'm tired Mach. What I do, it burns a man out. I'm not the good guy or the bad guy here. I'm just the face of yet another mission. You broke the mold. You're supposed to be the bad guy. You're supposed to be the villain, and yet look at what you're doing. You're a damn inspiration. I won't screw you this time, and I'm not trying to get you killed. I need your help. Are you in?

Trevor Mach: .....




Trevor Mach drove his Testarossa down the neon soaked highway, decked out in a denim jacket and shades as he raced the road. He thought back to flashes of himself in the ring against his cousin, which morphed into images of his fights with Tack Angel and back again. He tried thinking of the good times, but the bad seemed to out weigh them. Finally, he realized that he could see better driving at night without shades and tossed them off. He punched the dashboard of the car and drove faster into the night...

Dalaam Hotel

Tack Angel angrily stomped from the elevator to his own floor of the hotel, dubbed the "Star Wing" for EBW's time in Dalaam. He entered the room full of his wives and slammed the door behind him.

Tack Angel: Shoot! Dang! Oh man! This really stinks!

Tracy: Tack?

Tack Angel: ...I'm sorry, I'm lashing out. I'm just lashing out. The WORST thing just happened. I got BLACKLISTED!

Amy Angel: Blacklisted?

Tack Angel: Yeah, from the arcade downstairs!

Makoto: What happened my Prince?

Tack Angel: Alright so, this isn't my fault AT ALL! I can't stress that enough! So, I was playing a game with some kid downstairs, and when I handily beat him at all the games we were playing, he kicked me in the shin and told me I was a sick creeper! I was going to let that go, because I'm the Star Prince, and I want to set a good example to the children. So we go play this co-op game, where we have to work together, but the kid just COULDN'T do the mechanics right! I MAY have shouted at him a little. Long story short....I'm not allowed down there anymore. WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME?!

Iroha: My beloved no. Don't say that. No one hates you.

Nani: Only our enemies hate us. I will destroy them for you if you want. Where is that kid?

Tack Angel: No, the Star Kingdom doesn't kill children, even if they are REALLY BAD AT CO-OP GAMES!

Amy Angel: Oh Tack, don't worry about it. You're here with your family, and you are safe. We're going to take care of you. Aren't we sister wives?

Tracy: Now we're talking. Come here you.

Tack Angel: What? What? What?

Jiang Fine Dining - Dalaam

Degrees and his wife were sitting down for dinner at a fine dining establishment, when...

Degrees: Oh boy, I can't wait for-

Tack Angel: DOC! DOC! I need your help!

Degrees: Whoa! Slow down Tack. What's the problem and can it wait until I'm NOT eating with my wife?!

Tack Angel: No! It can't wait! It's urgent!

Degrees: Well alright, I-

Tack immediately dropped his pants right in front of Degrees.

Tack Angel: My....my "thing"....it's....it's broken I think!

Degrees: WHOA! Tack! What the hell?! What are you doing?! This isn't-

Tack Angel: It's bent in half! Is it...is it supposed to do that?!

Degrees: ...Well, I've lost my appetite.

At another table...

Harvey Fierstein: Waiter, I'll have what he's having!

River of Pain

The underground gambling and fighting ring was especially busy on this, as EBW wrestler Firebrand MAX made his way through the crowd, now able to hide much better in plain sight without his mask. He wasn't the only one there though...

Kinniku Mike: What the hell are you doing here?

Firebrand MAX: Heh, knew I couldn't be the only one to seek this place out. Helps that the ladies are at the helm for this tour, because it gave me all the time I needed to find it. You?

Kinniku Mike: ...I asked a homeless guy on the street.

Firebrand MAX: ...Oh. Are you here to fight in the Ring of Fire?

Kinniku Mike: Why the hell would I do that?

Firebrand MAX: Test your limits? Take it to the next level? I hear that King of Fire Championship made its way back here. That has the No Rules Champion very interested. What are you doing here then?

Kinniku Mike: ...You know they do illegal things down here right? Well, one of those things is...illegal surgeries.

Firebrand MAX: ...You got a surgery? What's different? New nose?

Kinniku Mike: No.

Firebrand MAX: Calf implants?

Kinniku Mike: No.

Firebrand MAX: Face lift?

Kinniku Mike: No.

Firebrand MAX: Ass implants?

Kinniku Mike: What?! No!

Firebrand MAX: Boob job?

Kinniku Mike: HEY! No! Of course not! I....got a 3rd testicle.

Firebrand MAX: ...I'm sorry what?

Kinniku Mike: ...I got a 3rd nut!

Firebrand MAX: ...Why?

Kinniku Mike: Increased libido and testosterone?

Firebrand MAX: ...You need MORE libido?!

Kinniku Mike: You can never have enough! UUUUU!!! I'm so PISSED NOW!

Firebrand MAX: There is that testosterone. Well then 3 Balls, I'm going to find that Ring of Fire.

Kinniku Mike: ...Don't go to places like this drunk...I guess it what I'm trying to say.

Dalaam Hotel Gym

The EBW roster were hard at work getting their buff on in the morning, in preperation for not only the rest of the E1 Climax Women's Edition, but also for the big finale event that was moved to Dalaam as well, and would be held at the Dalaam Royal Palace. Trevor Mach was hitting away at a heavy bag with Subculture...

Subculture: Come on dammit, I know you hit harder than that. Why you looking so tired?

Trevor Mach: Because of that thing I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about, but in end I basically told everyone.

Subculture: Well your cousin isn't here right now, and if you don't get your head in the game, you're going to lose that World Championship before I have a chance to take it from you.

Trevor Mach: Well, that explains the sudden supportive friend bullshit. I have one more thing I have to do tonight, and then-

Christina Angel: Uncle Trevor?

Trevor Mach: Yes Christina I-

Trevor turned around and saw no one behind him.

Trevor Mach: ...Huh?

Subculture: Look down sharp stuff.

Trevor Mach: Down?

Trevor looked down to see the 5 year old Christina Angel.

Trevor Mach: Oh, it's the kid one. Hey....you! What...uh...what can Uncle Trevor do for you?

Little Christina: Help me hide?

Trevor Mach: Hide? From what?

Little Christina: Family. Here. They want me to be like big sister.

Trevor Mach: Family? Oh, they're all over there working out. They want you to be like big sister? I don't think that. I think your Dad would prefer you not turn out like her given everything going on....but you might not understand all of that.

Little Christina: I'm not big sister. I feel like they wish I was. I don't want to do this. I'm not fast or strong like her.

Trevor Mach: Hey. You shouldn't compare yourself like that. You're still growing up after all. You can't worry about who you think is better than you, or faster, or stronger. You just need to be the best you that you can be. Otherwise, you'll give up, and you'll run away. Years from now, when you're her age, you'll still feel like you're in her shadow. I'm trying not to talk over your head here.

Little Christina: It's easy, cause you're so tall.

Trevor Mach: Heh...no I...yeah it's cause I'm tall. Listen, you can't grow up feeling like you're not as good as the people around you. You can't compare yourself to your sister either. You are the only you there is, and I think you're special on your own.

Little Christina: Hehe, thanks Uncle Trevor.

Trevor Mach: My pleasure little miss, now why don't-

Amy Angel: HEY! Christina, stay away from over there!

Trevor Mach: Whoa, I was just-

Amy Angel: Yeah, I know what happens when you get in the ear of my children Trevor. Why don't you leave this Christina alone. You already turned the other one against us.

Trevor Mach: You did that yourself Amy.

Tack Angel: Hey, what are doing Trevor?

Trevor Mach: Back off Tack. We're not going to do this right now.

Tack Angel: I can't believe you'd go after another one of my kids, trying to poison them against me and-

Trevor Mach: Tack....she's right there....let's not do this alright?

Tack Angel: ...*sigh*...Stay away from my children. Don't ever talk to them again.

Little Christina: Bye Uncle Trevor.

Trevor Mach: *sigh* Later kid.

Subculture: Well, I never thought I'd see the day when you were the voice of reason.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, get in line. You should thank me, he's been shooting you looks all day. Now, he's focused right on me.

Subculture: I don't care what he thinks. Christina, that is older Christina, is better off with us.

Trevor Mach: Us?

Subculture: ...Come on Trevor, don't make me say things. Just know what I mean alright?

Trevor Mach: Yeah, I'd prefer that. Never realized how awkward this brotherly bonding shit is. I'm just going to nod, bump your fist, and be on my way.

Subculture: Alright...that's a good idea. I'll go too....but in a different direction.

On the other side of the Gym...

Tack Angel: You have to be careful Christina, it's really dangerous around here. You have to stay with us, so we can take care of you.

Christina Angel: It was just Uncle Trevor. Silly daddy.

Tack Angel: Yeah, silly daddy. *sigh* Why did he bring her into this?

Amy Angel: He doesn't care what he does. He never has. He has no morals. He has no honor.

Tack Angel: I'm trying to bring that back to wrestling, and he not only messes with that in the ring, but in my home life too. He needs to be stopped.

Stuart: Don't worry brother. It shouldn't be a problem much longer.

Tack Angel: Why?

Stuart: Let's just say I know something you don't. Don't worry Star Prince, the knights of your Kingdom will help you protect it.

Tack Angel: ...What did he mean by this?

Construction Site - Dalaam

A high rise building under construction was the setting for the meeting between Trevor Mach and the crime lord known as Void. Trevor stood there, on a beam high above the ground, chewing on a toothpick, because no one just quits smoking cold turkey. Suddenly, a figure stepped out of the shadows on the other side of the beam. A figure shrouded in darkness.

Trevor Mach: Derek, what the hell have you gotten involved in now? Just when I think you can't top the space station nonsense you-

The figure stepped forward, and it was in fact Derek Mach, but he was beaten and bloody, with a rag in his mouth, and shackles around his hands and feet.

Trevor Mach: Oh damn.

Another figure stepped out behind him with a gun. The figure wore the mask and the track suit of Derek Mach's former persona, Void. This other Void spoke with a voice modulator to hide his identity...

Void: You Machs are predictable, gullible, and always a thorn in my side.

Trevor Mach: Whoa. Calm down now. Who even are y-

Derek spit out the rag.

Derek Mach: TREVOR WATCH OUT!

Void: Time I end you "Bad Man".

Trevor Mach: Derek!

*BANG! BANG! BANG!*

Limo

A little later, Void was sitting in a limo. He looked across at a man sitting with a big smile on his face...

Void: I appreciate your assistance in this.

Earl: Oh, I was more than happy to help set this up. I wanted Mach dead as much as you. Did you do it?

Void: I saw them both fall into the darkness. They both tried to shield each other from the bullets. How noble right?

Earl: Oh, it's breaking my heart. Haha.

Void took off the mask...

Stuart: You make sure this doesn't get back to me. You understand? You will make a lot of money with my organization if you play ball.

Earl: Money is the key word Stu. You got yourself a deal. What a pleasure it was to earn that money, helping take of the trash for our illustrious future King Tack Angel. Haha!

Construction Site - Dalaam

Morning broke on the construction site, as the workers clocked in to get back to work. One such worker looked up and saw something he wasn't expecting, a man with his legs wrapped around the cord of the wrecking ball holding up another man by his shackles.

Derek Mach: Trevor? Trevor!

Trevor Mach: Huh! What! I'm not asleep!

Derek Mach: You fell asleep! You're the only thing keeping me from falling!

Trevor Mach: I haven't felt my arms in hours bro. I couldn't let go if I wanted to. Good morning by the way.

Derek Mach: Morning, maybe we'll get down now. Hurry up down there! I can't take anymore of this.

Trevor Mach: I see some wet cement down there Derek. I'm going to shove a handful down your throat so you'll harden the hell up! ...So...you weren't Void. Not going to lie, I was surprised.

Derek Mach: Asshole used my identity to lure you in.

Trevor Mach: Huh. I was told to come here by...a dead man. He used your son against me.

Derek Mach: Hunter? Was he...is he...

Trevor Mach: He knows who you are. Kid wants you home. I came here to get you. They wanted to kill you.

Derek Mach: I guess I owe you then.

Trevor Mach: You owe me a lot more than one! I want to find out who tried to kill us now!

Derek Mach: I think it was that one guy who was in prison. I heard some of what he was saying about business and whatnot. S

Trevor Mach: Poochyfud huh? Well he's going to see me again real so-

Derek Mach: No....not Poochyfud.

Trevor Mach: Not Poochyfud? Then...who?

Dalaam Hotel Bar

Stuart and Tack Angel were sitting at the bar, with Stuart all smiles.

Tack Angel: Why are we here Stu? I don't drink.

Stuart: It's celebration time Tack. Good things are coming brother.

Tack Angel: Celebration? Good things? Brother? Alright then, I'll have...uh...a club soda? Ah heck, let's live dangerously. I'll have grape juice!

Stuart: ...Now that's the spirit. I believe some obstacles have been moved out of your way Star Prince. Nothing will stop the rise of the Star Kingdom now and-

Trevor Mach: STU!

The music stopped, because that's what immediately happens in situations like this for some reason. Like, it always sounds like a record scratch, even when the music isn't coming from a jukebox. I don't get it either, but I like it.

Tack Angel: Trouble city.

Stuart: Population us?

Trevor Mach: Think you could just kill me and get away with it?

Stuart: What? I have no idea what you're talking about!

Trevor Mach: You shot at me. You tried to kill me. You tried to kill Derek. If you're going to kill me, finish the damn job, because otherwise I don't know how to die!

Tack Angel: Stu, what is he talking about?

Stuart: Brother, I have no idea.

Tack Angel: Yes. Brother. Trevor, I don't think you have all the facts here. You're jumping the gun as per usual, so why don't you get out of here, and leave us alone.

Trevor Mach: I'm not talking to you Tack. I'll deal with you after him! I'm not convinced you didn't put him up to this. Do you know what kind of shit your "brother" is involved in?

Tack Angel: What? I-

Stuart: Listen, I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm tired of hearing you run your mouth. I certainly won't let you threaten my family like that! You want to settle this? We can settle it in the ring.

Trevor Mach: My ring's outside.

Stuart: Yeah? Let's do it.

Tack Angel: Stuart don't.

Stuart: Don't worry Tack. Gotta defend the honor of the Kingdom right brother?

Tack Angel: Brother. Yes. Wait, I mean no!

Street Outside Hotel

A crowd circled Trevor and Stuart...

Stuart: You're a loser and a maniac Mach, and you've lost your mind.

Trevor Mach: You lost your balls. Now you're hiding behind Tack?

Stuart: We both demand your respect.

Trevor Mach: Yeah? Well come and get it.

Stuart approached, but was blindsided by a flurry of punches to his gut by Trevor. He landed one after another, before pushing him into garbage cans and onto the street.

Trevor Mach: You call ME the maniac?! You tried to kill me! I'm trying VERY HARD not to return the favor right now. Consider this your receipt.

Trevor started walking away. Stuart grabbed a bottle, but when he saw Tack trying to get out of the bar through the crowd, he smashed it on his own head instead, causing himself to bleed. He picked himself up and chased after Trevor, punching him in the side, and wailing away on the World Champion. He pushed him against a fence and punched him in the gut before tossing him through a cage door that spilled into the open street. Stuart followed him, and the two continued to waylay each other. Mach got the upper hand again and took Stuart to the ground. He ground and pounded, bloodying him up some more. Tack, already fired up by what he thought was Trevor breaking a bottle over Stuart's head before, was visibly concerned. The bloody Stuart reached his hand out to Tack.

Stuart: Brother, help me!

Trevor Mach: Ha! You think that's going to wo-

Tack ran in and broke a board over Trevor's head.

Trevor Mach: ...Huh...well I'll be damned.

Trevor blacked out on the street...

Dalaam Hotel

Amy Angel: So, let me get this straight. Not only are you blacklisted from the arcade, but also-

Tack Angel: The restaurant and NOW the bar! I can't catch a break!
