Nerma: Hello EBW fans! Nerma here, and I'm joined by not just "Dan Club", but also the THE main event for Victory Explosion XV! That's right! At The Strip in *exaggerated voice* SATURN'S PALACE, we're going to see EBW Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan take on Brass Ring holder Jammer, and EBW Television Champion Benjamin. You three have really been on a roll, and it feels like destiny that it's coming down to this.

Bashin Dan: That's what I was thinking. I KNEW this would have to happen, and I couldn't be happier. Me and my best friends, giving it all we've got, to see who wants it more. That's EXCITING! Oh I'm hyped for this! Get ready for the best match you're ever going to see! Yeah!

Nerma: Wow. Dan is really excited. How do you guys feel about this? This is the first we're hearing from you since the win. You're....well you're staring at each other.

Jammer: Huh? We are?

Benjamin: Didn't notice. What a mystery this is.

Jammer: ...I didn't expect that he'd land when I did.

Benjamin: I wasn't expecting him either.

Nerma: Well you both pulled it off, although we have rumors that someone was backstage at Rumble City offering help to someone.

Bashin Dan: What? Who?

Nerma: Don't know.

Bashin Dan: Who did they ask?

Nerma: Don't know. I mean, we didn't SEE any help, so surely it was all for nothing right?

Bashin Dan: Y-yeah....right.

Jammer: Don't know a thing about that.

Benjamin: Me either.

Jammer: This HAS been a long time coming. The Slam Master is ready to win the World Championship again. The Triple Crown. I'm going to do it right this time. Just you wait and see. The "Year of Jammer" will begin on The Strip.

Benjamin: It's a historic match to be sure. Main event of the 15th Victory Explosion. It's the dream. It doesn't get any bigger. The "Great Uncle of Them All!" as it's often referred to as. I've been working hard to make this my life, my dream, and my future. I've been putting in the work. We get to see if it pays off. This isn't about getting BACK to the top like Jammer. It's not about STAYING at the top like Dan. This will be my first time to reach the peak. It's an honor that it's against my two comrades.

Nerma: I have to ask though, where is Vape? He didn't show up for the Bad Ass Rumble, and he's not here now, even though he was asked to appear.

Bashin Dan: That, I don't know. None of us do.

Jammer; He said he'd be here.

Benjamin: I hope he shows up tonight.

Nerma: That's right, because the "Dan Club" is taking on the "War Kings" for the World Team Championship Rings. You have a chance of making Victory Explosion a war to determine the 4-Crown King.

Bashin Dan: It all hinges on a couple things. Is Vape going to be in the game? Are you two?

Jammer: Us?

Benjamin: What do you mean Dan?

Bashin Dan: I'm seeing it now. You two...you're staring...giving a side eye.

Jammer: Are we?

Benjamin: Yeah...I guess we are.

Jammer: Friendly competition.

Benjamin: Truly.

Jammer: You got to love it Dan. It's the dream right?

Benjamin: The dream.

Bashin Dan: ....Alright...knock THAT off. It's creepy.

Jammer: Huh? Yeah, you're right. I'm ready.

Benjamin: Me two comrades. BOTH OF YOU....comrades.

Jammer: Right!

Bashin Dan: ....Did one of you talk to that guy Nerma was talking about?

Jammer: What?

Benjamin: I didn't.

Jammer: Me either!

Benjamin: ....

Jammer: .....

Bashin Dan: Yeah, I didn't think so! I trust you both. I can tell, you're entranced by the opportunity. That's great guys. Hold onto that feeling. Let it grow. However, you've GOT to be ready tonight. The "War Kings" are not to be taken lightly.

Jammer: Absolutely.

Benjamin: Totally on board!

Bashin Dan: Good, we're-

Trevor Mach: W00T! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!

Bashin Dan: Oh, here comes Trevor.

Benjamin: He seems nettled.

Jammer: Nah, that man is PISSED!

Nerma: Trevor?!

Trevor Mach: Where is he?

Nerma: I haven't seen him.

Bashin Dan: None of us have. Trust me, I've been looking.

Trevor Mach: You find him....you tell him I'm looking for him. If he asks about me? I won't be hard to find.

Bashin Dan: You got it.

Nerma: I wouldn't want to be on his bad side tonight.





Tommy Dukes: Welcome to EBW Xcite! We're in Fourside, and the build up to Victory Explosion XV is underway! It's going to be on The Strip! Did you know that yet? You will by the time we're done. You'll never be able to forget! You'll assume every year it'll be on The Strip! We're going to SATURN'S PALACE for-

Nerma: I did that already! Look who is back where she belongs!

Tommy Dukes: My wife is here, and my child is NOT being watched by her crazy ex.....LIKE SHE MADE ME BELIEVE!

Nerma: I said I was sorry!

Tommy Dukes: I don't believe you!

Nerma: That's probably smart. We got a big show tonight, with the "Dan Club" challenging the "War Kings" like I mentioned before, but we'll also be seeing "Blood 4 Blood" in action. We'll see "Weekend Wrecking Crew" in action! We'll see "Flood Generation" in action too, but your mileage may vary on that. The Women of EBW will fight for the right to challenge Christina Angel for the Women's World Championship at Victory Explosion XV. I'm told that Tess had Lainey Strong and Makoto Angel were tasked with showing up for Xcite, but Tess shouted them out before the show, so they wouldn't be paid for it. I have to wonder what she told them.

Tommy Dukes: Before the show, we had our Dark Matches on ENN+. At this point, you should just expect that. FSW is joining the circle of promotions interacting with EBW again, and sent a lot of talent. No guys, not Perfect Man. That guy is oddly over. Weird. Hope Mach beat Briana Belhair, whose entire life and gimmick is based on possibly fake hair, that's super long. Hope pulled it, to drag Briana over for the Olympic Slam and the Ankle Lock. She quickly tapped. Hope shouted for Sunny after the match, with the Television Champion looking on with a hint of worry on her face.

Nerma: The James Sisters beat Kaie and Eve of "Eisenritter", when Jessica hit a Piledriver on the preening and cash collecting Eve, Erica's younger sister. Another win for "C.O.D.E" there.

Tommy Dukes: The Sharks beat The Jumbler, our puzzling newcomer, with a penchant for riddles, games, and gas. He was joined by newcomer "Mr. 2 Over Par" Jerry Sourdough, who used to be Crusher Kyle, De-Construction Crash, Depot Man, and White Bottom Bully. Guy has had a lot of gimmicks. Jumbler caused his own partner to lose with the GAS. Why though?

Nerma: "Firebrand X" apparently helped Rains beat Jimmy and Jay Useless from FSW, after his crap limited offense, but X kept Jay Useless down with a Fire Thunder Driver, before tagging in Rains, who hit THE BIG DRIZZ a bunch of times, on an already staggered opponent to win the match. I think Good News Gary came in his pants. That's not hyperbole. I wish it was. He was standing near me. *gag* Personally, I call bullshit. I refuse to believe that Firebrand X would help "Flood Generation". It's way too beneath him. However, they won....*sigh* so you never know.

Tommy Duke: With all of that out of the way, let's TAKE IT TO THE RING!

EBW: Xcite

1. 8-Man Tag: Trevor Mach[o]/Subculture/Mav Valentine/Picky Minch beat Chad Salad[x]/Misogynist Paul/Robert Sandwich/Sammy the Simp via Knee Trigger x Knee Trigger x Knee Trigger -> Pin
-"Blood 4 Blood" dismantled "Heat Parade" in a matter of minutes. Battering the jobber team quickly, Mach was livid, and took it out on Chad Salad, hitting the Knee Trigger, but making him get up just to eat another one. He yelled for w00t, as he hit one more Knee Trigger before the pin. After the match, Trevor grabbed his bat, but then w00t and his "friends" appeared on the screen.



w00t: Looking for us Trevor? You won't find me. I'm not there. I know Tali must be looking for Ripper Jane too. She probably tried sneaking in from the back to escape our gaze, but I think ahead.

Trevor Mach: You're a coward then! A gutless sack of garbage! You come after my family, and you get hurt! That's what I warned you about! You knew! You asked for this! Come and get it!

w00t: Trevor, you're feeling powerless right now aren't you? You're so angry, yet so short sighted. I don't hate the sinner....I hate the sin. The sin of ignorance. The sin you've always been guilty of. If you're going to sin, sell your soul, at least find a good reason to do it. Victory....domination....."Perfection". No, you've always chosen to live in anger and ignorance, and you've long dragged down this world, our world in the process. 11 times the World Champion right? That's got to be a record yeah? How much has it cost everyone else for you to get that far. It was time for you to feel the repercussions of your-

Trevor Mach: NO! NO! You shut your damn mouth! This is wrestling! You don't like that I'm winning more than you? You FIGHT ME for it! We settle it here! You don't go into my house, and mess with my family! You don't put that crazy bitch anywhere NEAR my children!

Ripper Jane: Now now, that's no way to talk about an old flame. When Tali turned her back on you, I was there to comfort you, and this is how you thank me?

Trevor Mach: You used me. You lied to me. You-

w00t: YOU fell for it, because, like I said, you're ignorant. Your emotions lead you. I've dealt with my emotions. Any remorse or guilt I might have ever felt, is long gone. Deal of a lifetime. What a bargain.

Trevor Mach: All I've ever wanted to do, was fight, and shake things up. I tried to make EBW about fighting, the best fighting, and chaos. I will never apologize for my life, my career, and my actions. Not my actions against either of you. Not now. Not ever. You've not made me dwell on anything. You've only pissed me off. You're going to have to kill me to stop me now w00t. Kill me and make sure I stay dead!

w00t: There is that rage again. Are you really so mad at me, or mad at your powerlessness? Not just to track down who was coming after you family, but the damage you've caused to your family as well. You afraid that you've passed on your flaws and your sins to your children? You should be ashamed of the weight you've put on your kids.

Trevor Mach: *deep breath* w00t....talking is for rivals. Talking is for opponents. You're not either. You're a straight up villain, a dick bag, and an enemy, and I'm going to kick your ass. I'm challenging you. If you've got the guts. If you want to make this easier on yourself. I'm challenging you to a match at Victory Explosion XV. I want to settle this bullshit once and for all.

w00t: Ha, you really underestimate me Trevor. Another flaw. You're so so stupid. You're just....infantile. You expect me to just accept a match? After the lessons I've already had to teach you? You've learned NOTHING! Trevor, you're going to have to earn a match. I'll give you any match you want too, but earning it is the key. You'll find out what I mean by that, but on MY time.

Trevor Mach: YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Tommy Dukes: And there goes my monitor. He smashed that up pretty good with the bat there. *sigh* Right out of the paycheck Trev. I mean, he probably doesn't care right now, but still. Steve, can I get another one please?

Nerma: *sigh* We'll TRY to move on now, but not even "Blood 4 Blood" can seemingly calm Trevor down. Next up, we have the "Weekend Wrecking Crew" trying to recover from their title loss to the "War Kings" by taking on "Flood Generation". Earlier today though, "Flood Generation's" Danny Leung was paid an unexpected visit.



Danny Leung: *sigh*

Franky Jr: Hey!

Danny Leung; Huh? Oh, it's you kid. You want the ring? I'll get out of it. After all, what am I doing in here. This place is for training, and if I don't want a push then why would I train?

Franky Jr: We're here looking for you.

Danny Leung: Yeah? You and who else? This tall dude? Who is he? Do I know him?

Franky Jr: He's Big Shark, and he's my favoritest wrestler! So much so, that I'm going by Baby Shark now!

Danny Leung: Baby Shark?

Baby Shark: Yep!

Danny Leung: I guess so. It already changed over.

Baby Shark: I want you to join "The Shark Order" Danny! You're awesome! You dress cool, and you've got a cool hair cut, and-

Danny Leung: I thought I told you kid. No Pu-

Baby Shark: YES PUSH! Come on! It'll be fun! We'll help you, and you'll be cool Danny again, and we'll all support you and have you back. It'll be great!

Danny Leung: I don't....I don't know if I have it in me anymore. Once, I had it all, but I lost it because I choked. I was too nervous. Now, I have to watch Lakitus follow around Tack Angel while he impregnates Nani. I mean, not literally. It doesn't show ALL of that....unless if you have like the ENN++ subscription service....or was it ENN+++? Was it ENNXXX+? So many different tiers, it's hard to follow. I just...I just need to be alone kid. Please.

Baby Shark: ....OK, but remember, I'll always be your fan!

Danny Leung: ....*sigh*

2. 6-Man Tag: Kinniku Mike/Amigo[o]/Magnum PT beat Danny Leung/Nosan/Scott Free[x] via Bridging Hagen Suplex -> Pin
-Interesting match, not in the outcome or anything, because the Crew smashed the hell out of "Flood Generation", but Danny didn't lose! I mean, he didn't break up the pin either, but Scott Free ate the pin. A dominant win for the "Weekend Wrecking Crew".

Tommy Dukes: Wow! Danny tagged out instead of losing. He cost the team by not helping Scott, but I mean....it's a step in the right direction right? I'd like to think so.

3. EBW Women's World #1 Contender: Erica beat Kimber Blaze, Alison Chains, and BeShemoth[x] via Air Raid Crash -> Pin
-In a fantastic clash, four of EBW's top women battled it out for the most prized title shot at Victory Explosion XV. Exciting action saw Alison Chains nearly win it, but Blaze tackled her out of the ring, as Erica hit an Air Raid Crash on the stunned BeShemoth for the pin and the title shot. The crowd booed, and garbage was thrown into the ring, while Erica laughed and made her way to the back.



Nerma: Erica! Wait! I'm having to do double duty today! Makoto isn't around!

Erica: Oh, I know all about that. Hehe.

Christina Angel: You mind telling me about it? I haven't seen her all day. I haven't seen Lainey either.

Erica: Oh, don't worry about them. I'm the most of your worries. I'm coming for that title against Christina. I'm going to get it back. It's mine. It belongs to me.

Christina Angel: Funny, it seems like I ran a gauntlet to take it, and destroy your grip on our future in the process. You want it back, you're going to have to take it by force.

Erica: I might, but not against you.

Christina Angel: Huh?

Tess: *suddenly appears on the monitor* Oh, that's where I come in. Christina, you have a title match before Victory Explosion. You'll be facing Lainey Strong once again. Makoto Angel will be the Special Referee. I'm going to make this real simple. If Lainey Strong doesn't walk out of that match with the title in hand, then she'll be fired, and Makoto will be fired. We're going to "get it right" this time. We have nothing more for you, plain and simple. We believe that Erica challenging Lainey Strong will be a much better match.

Christina Angel: ....We huh? You mean you and Erica? Gee, I wonder why you'd think that. You want to keep playing some damn games?

Tess: You thought you were above it. You thought you stopped it, but the truth is, you'll always be under my thumb. I control this division.

Christina Angel: ...You're forgetting...Lady M's shares the control with you. Don't you think she'll step in? You're really overstepping here.

Tess: Yeah....I figured she would....but....never mind. One more thing Christina....if you lose...then YOU'RE FIRED! *screen turns black*

Erica: We're done here.

Christina Angel: Do you even care that you have to win the title this way? Do you have any honor left?

Erica: ....I'm the Golden Goddess of EBW, I don't care what anyone thinks. I'll have what belongs to me, by any means.

Before the next match, Tack Angel came out and grabbed a mic.

Tack Angel: Alright, I know that we have a match coming up, but I've got something to say! Hazen, I'm calling you out! Right here and right now!



Tack Angel: I should have known you wouldn't come out alone. Suxton and Bogus wanted to come out to back me up, but I said no, not because of over confidence, but because I just really didn't want them to.

Hazen: Don't worry, we're not going to hurt you....tonight. We have competition, and THAT is why they're out here. These rings we're going to defend. However, you called me out, so here I am. Speak.

Tack Angel: I'm the Sheriff of EBW, and I need law, justice, and order. You never liked that did you? You've had a problem with me since you showed up, and you've talked a lot of trash. That wasn't enough though was it? You wanted a fight...a fight against me. Like a friend says a lot, all you had to do was ask.

Hazen: True...but then...you wouldn't be this fired up. We want the best competition. We demand the best, because we give the best. The best competition, the most money, and the prettiest women. You have your fair share. You must know what it means to fight for them.

Tack Angel: I do, but we're not talking about them. I'm here for myself. You cost me, something that means almost as much as my wives and children. I could've had a fair shot for the Triple Crown. Now, I'll give Dan all the credit in the world. He beat me, but now I have a WHAT IF hanging over me, and for once, I can't shake it. It's YOUR fault.

Hazen: Which makes you mad yes? It inspires you? Maybe now I'll see this Tack Angel everyone used to speak about in Euroland, and not this ridiculous clown.

Tack Angel: Honk honk you son of a bitch. If you want a match you've got it. Victory Explosion XV!

Hazen: Wunderbar.

4. EBW World Team Championships: Hazen(c)[o]/Ilya Fedorovich(c)/Radzi Schrieffer(c)/Golvoth(c) beat Bashin Dan/Benjamin/Jammer/Vape[x] via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-A hard hitting battle between the "War Kings" and "Dan Club" in a barn burner of a match. Vape DID appear, but seemed to be down and low energy, which wasn't meshing well with the high energy and fire of his team mates, looking to secure the title of 4-Crown King. Hazen hit the WRIST CLUTCH Death Valley Driver, mocking Tack Angel with the Clutch, to score the pin on Vape, defending the Rings.

Tommy Dukes: Wow, that's rough. No 4-Crown King at Victory Explosion, but that still doesn't mean-

Nerma: Wait! Shut up! Dan's a got a mic!

Bashin Dan: Vape! Don't leave the ring! The two of us aren't done! Yeah, we lost tonight, and I normally attach all wins and losses to the team effort, but as much as it pains me to say it, you cost us tonight. You didn't even want to be here. You never showed up at Rumble City. We haven't seen you in days. We're getting to the bottom of this right now. What is up with you buddy?

Vape: What's up with me? Isn't it obvious? I'm a loser! I'm alone! For all the products I shill and money I make, I can't find someone who loves me, and I can't win anymore!

Bashin Dan: Well...I can't help you with the first thing, that's something you have to overcome by realizing that you are worth loving. You are like a brother to us. Benji and Jammer would agree. We're all friends. We're family. This bond is unbreakable. As for winning, you have GOT to get that confidence back! You are great! You're VAPE! Everyone loves you, just not in the way you're hoping, which sometimes creeps me out when we talk about it, but I'm sure SOMEONE DOES love you that way. Look. A loss is a loss. We're going to come back from this stronger, but this time, it's because you're getting a wake up call. Let me ask you something. How important is the "Dan Club" to you?

Vape: You're the best friends I've ever had. I LOVE you guys....just not in the way I want to love a woman, which I'm sorry creeps you out, but I know EXACTLY what I want! Is that so wrong!?

Bashin Dan: Prove how you feel buddy! Prove it! Vape, my friend, my tomodachi....which also means friend. If you want to STAY in Dan Club, then you'll take me on right now. Last 15 minutes or beat me. That's all you have to do.

Vape: Wow...you really-

Bashin Dan: Can't put the title up....sorry....Jammer and Benji earned it.

Vape: DANG IT! Well fine. I'll still...I'll....I'll do it. Sure! Let's go Dan! I'll show you how much you guys mean to me!

5. Non-Title 15-Minute Time Limit Singles: Bashin Dan vs. Vape ended via Time Limit Draw!
-A great showing for Vape followed the poor showing for Vape. Fired up and motivated, he tried to best the "Dangerous Player" and Triple Crown World Champion, putting some hustle behind his (not)muscle, and throwing Dan around the ring. The Champ found himself on the ropes, but used his ever improving mat skills to regain control over the much larger opponent. Vape actually did fight back to his feet, and lifted Dan for the Choke, but suddenly the bell rang, as the time limit was reached. The crowd cheered for Vape, as he slowly let Dan down, and hugged him, which seemed to take more out of him than the choke. The "Dan Club" all rallied together, as the show ended.

Parking Lot

Lady M's was walking out of the arena, when she was suddenly stopped.



Tess: So, you WERE here.

Lady M's: Waste of my time it turns out.

Tess: I figured you'd do something about the move I made tonight. It was so obviously bait. Don't tell me you got too smart to take it Tali? If you don't, the Angels could lose out.

Lady M's: If they're not strong enough to figure this shit out without me, they aren't strong enough with me. I wanted to be a counter balance, but it's time for people to stop crawling, and start running. Besides, I've got things to do, that are far more important to me right now.

Tess: You giving up on me? Come on Tali. You can't quit. The game MUST continu-

Lady M's: Fuck your games Tess. I'm done.

Tess: What?!

Lady M's: It's yours. I'm done. I'm just done.

Tess: You concede? You admit I was right?!

Lady M's: I'm just done.

Tess: No, that's not the same. Admit defeat!

Lady M's: I admit that I'm done. Fuck off. I'm going home to my children.

Tess: No! Wait! GET BACK HERE! THE GAME MUST CONTINUE! TALI! DAMN YOU!

Earlier Today...

?

w00t stepped forward in a darkened room, with two figures behind him. One was Ripper Jane, but the other, kept their face concealed, only revealing a book they were holding in their hands.

w00t: I do things on my time. That comes with being a "Perfectionist". It's always got to be just right. Trevor Mach, you want a match with me at Victory Explosion XV, but I told you it would have to be on my terms. Tonight, we're going to find out just how badly you want this. How much are you willing to sacrifice for this match. Tonight, you will meet me in the ring. Task #1, you keep your damn composure, while I tell you exactly what you have to do. I will see you tonight.

Moments ago...

Backstage

Bashin Dan appeared to be searching around, when Hope, Benjamin, and Vape caught up to him. Well two of them did. Vape finally caught up moments later...

Benjamin: Dan? Dan, slow down.

Bashin Dan: Huh?

Hope Mach: Dan, calm down. You looked really tense and worked up.

Bashin Dan: I'm looking for Jammer. Have you seen him?

Hope Mach: Not lately. I could ask Jessica if-

Bashin Dan: No....maybe don't. I don't really know if I want to see him right now.

Vape: *huff puff* Then why are you looking at him?

Bashin Dan: I...I don't know. We NEED to talk, but I don't know what to do.

Hope Mach: Well...let's talk about. What's going on?

Bashin Dan: *sigh* Alright.





The pyro went off, and the crowd cheered, as the camera panned to two men. One was a familiar face from not too long ago. An older fellow, who is well known in wrestling. The second man, was younger, and much more rotund. The graphic showed the names Tony Bologna and Conrad Johnson.

Conrad Johnson: Welcome to Xperience people. This here is Conrad Johnson, and I'm a mortgage guy, I'm a podcast guy, but most of all, I'm a rasslin' guy. This limp dick motherfucker over here is my podcast colleague, and the voice for your childhood. Tony Bolognaaaaaaaa!

Tony Bologna: Thanks for most of that you slap dick. It's great to be back in EBW. Yes, I was here once before, but it was under different circumstances. Now, it's a new time in my life, and I'm thrilled to be here, and back to wrestling, the sport that has given me a new lease on life, for myself and my family.

Conrad Johnson: As much as I love to hear about your life Tony, we got to shill some dick pills, and talk up some rasslin. We're on the road to Victory Explosion XV, and THAT is a very exciting time indeed. I got people borrowing against their houses, just to get tickets! Needless to say, I'm living large.

Tony Bologna: I guess it helps that you're married to Rick Flare's daughter.

Conrad Johnson: It sure does. Pop Pop's a 16-Time EWA World Champion after all.

Tony Bologna: You don't have to tell me Conrad. I was there. EWA was in my blood, but now it's all about EBW, and we have a great show for you tonight.

Conrad Johnson: Well "right you are Tony". Eh? That's like you used to do all the time with GR. "Right you are GR." Tonight, we've got big stakes. Someone's getting fired in that main event.

Tony Bologna: That's true isn't it? One way or the other, someone is losing their job. I think Lady M's could have countered that, but she quit on Xcite. She just up and quit. She's a bit out of sorts because of what happened with Ripper Jane and her kids, but I didn't think it'd go this far.

Conrad Johnson: Well she's tired of putting up with all this buuuuullshit. Am I right?

Tony Bologna: Yeah man, you said it. Before THIS show, we have matches on ENN+, the Dark Matches I believe they're called. Fray Tiburon beat Manu Kalani with the Brainbuster. "War Kings" Ilya Fedorovich continues to amaze with a big win over Nosan. The World Tag Team Champions, also from the "War Kings" beat "The Shark Order's" Shark #1 and Shark #2. The crowd were firmly behind "The Sharks" are they endear themselves to people with their new philosophy of "friendly heels"? "Blood 4 Blood" sans Trevor Mach beat "Heat Parade" in an easy lay up bout. Amigo took out his frustrations over losing the World Tag Team Championships on Scott Free. The last match of the Dark Matches saw the "Outer Senshi" return, as Nepture and Uranus beat "Eisenritter's" Kaie and Eve.

Conrad Johnson: Heh. You said Uranus.

Tony Bologna: Grow up Conrad.

Conrad Johnson: The only growing I'm gonna do, is with these dick pills Tony.

Tony Bologna: Folks, it's going to be a big show. After all of that, we still have so much for you. The build to Victoru Explosion XV is going to be the biggest and best you've ever seen. Stay tuned, cause we're only getting started.

1. Women's Non-Title Singles: Sunny Malibu beat Gold via Top Rope Stomp -> Pin
-The show opened with Sunny Malibu taking on Gold in a Non-Title match. Gold continues to be a measuring stick in the lower card, hard working and determined. As a friend of Hopes, she was more vicious that usual, trying to get a measure of revenge for her friend, hitting hard slaps and elbows, before dropping Malibu to her knees for the Shining Wizard. However, Sunny started coming back strong, and with the help of her little sister Millie, Sunny was able to knock Gold to the mat, and go up to the top rope. She mocked surfing on top, before hitting a Top Rope Stomp, and pinned Gold for the win.

Conrad Johnson: Chat me up Tony. The rumor and innuendo here is that Sunny Malibu has Hope Mach's number. She's been unable to beat her in months. Is that right?

Tony Bologna: It is Conrad. Hope Mach is one of the best in the division, and these ladies are really doing somethings, but honestly, Sunny Malibu is one of those women seem to be holding the division back by ensuring "Eisenritter" remains dominant. This feud with Hope has gone on for months, and if Hope can't get it together, she's going to be stuck here, or fall farther down as we go forward.

Conrad Johnson: Well, I hear we've got Sunny in the back, so let's take it to Nerma!



Nerma: Uh....thanks...guys? Where's Larry? Whatever, I'm here with Sunny Malibu, the Women's Television Champion. That was big win you just had, but you have to admit, with a little help from a little sister.

Sunny Malibu: I don't know what you're talking about Nerma, but what I know is that I have been Television Champion for months. I've never looked better. I'm riding high, and surfing the big waves. I could be on the beach with an umbrella drinks, waiting for Victory Explosion, but I wanted to stay sharp. That's why I am here tonight repping "Eisenritter", the group that gave me the path I needed to success. The training I needed to complete myself, and the opportunities to damage Hope Mach beyond repair. Look, nepotism runs wild in EBW. Fact of the matter is, I've been doing you all a favor. No more Hope Mach is best for everyone because I- UGH!

Hope appeared from the doorway behind Sunny, and grabbed her by the neck.

Hope Mach: Didn't see that coming did you? Didn't hear it? Hearing...it's a gift, that you tried to take away from me. You got real stealthy to do it too didn't you? How is this for stealth? When you're deaf, you can't hear a thing. When it comes to sound, you have to work hard to make sure you're not being too loud for everyone else, so you pick up a little stealth yourself. You learn how to walk slowly....carefully...softly. I could do to you, what you did to me. How does it feel to be this helpless? You're lucky, that Dan showed me a better way. If I do this to you, then I'm no better than you. The only way to really hurt you, and make all of this matter, is to beat you. I WILL beat you finally, once and for all, at Victory Explosion XV. I'll give it everything I've got. If I can't beat you....well then....let's just say....it could be the end of the road.

2. Non-Title Singles: Benjamin beat Rains via Excalibur -> Pin
-The next match saw Benjamin take on Rains in Non-Title action. "Flood Generation" was on the outside, but Vape kept them at bay, feeling renewed thanks to his friends. Rains was theatrical in the ring, and showed off some of the skills that SOMEHOW got him a #EVER Championship win once upon a time, but Benjamin is the "Mystic Bout Machine" for a reason, because his work rate and skill is becoming unmatched. A Spear lead to him going to the middle rope for the Excalibur to get the pin and the win.

Tony Bologna: Boy, that was great match.

Conrad Johnson: Without question! What a good showing by ol' Benji there. He's really come into his own. This is the stuff I like to see. Fast action. Hard hitting action. Big moves.

Tony Bologna: He looks like he's got a lot on his mind.

Conrad Johnson: Well sure. The rumor and innuendo is that he's in love with Lainey Strong, but we're all supposed to keep that on the down low. Plus, that Jammer dude is up to something, and they're looking for him.

Tony Bologna: Well, the "Dan Club" will all be in the main event of VE 15 sans Vape, and that's a big deal. They all seemed to be on the same page on Xcite, but looks how quickly things can change. You have to wonder what's going on?



Erica: Tess, you ready to head to the VIP Room? We'll sip some champagne, and watch as the title is secured with Lainey Strong, and my future reign is secured at....Tess? Are you all right?

Tess: Huh? All right? Subjective. Did I win?

Erica: What are you talking about? Of course you won. We SHOULD be celebrating! You chased off Tali! She quit!

Tess: DID I WIN THOUGH?! She didn't leave because I beat her! She left because of that damn Ripper Jane. She left because of w00t! You used to be close to that asshole weren't you?

Erica: So were you. You know he's an opportunist.

Tess: Right. I just....I just didn't think he'd be able to run her off, where I was unable to.

Erica: You won! Savor it! The division is ours to shape without challenge now!

Tess: They'll fight us. They'll fight me to the bitter end. If I had broken Tali, it would have all been easier. It would have been a sweet victory to savor, the end of this years long war. Master Lu's legacy would have finally be extinguished, but instead, I get this hollow victory, that feels more like defeat! IT'S LIKE SHE WON! ERICA! IT'S LIKE SHE WON, AND I HATE IT!

Erica: Tess....calm down. Let's just go upstairs, have a drink, and settle one thing at a time.

Tess: ....I need to do something Erica. I need to do something big. The game must continue....no matter what.

Duvalie: Hmmm....it appears the Mistress might be troubled.

Ines: Do we get involved?

Ennea: What do you think Duvalie? You have experience in these matters.

Duvalie: We're here to clean up the mess. We're here to see that certain things get done. When Mistress snaps her fingers, we'll do what she asks, because that is our task, but I fear that she's planning something worse. We shall have to wait and see. Until then, you have a match to attend to ladies. Let us go.

3. Women's Tag: Ines/Ennea[o] beat Jessica James/Jenny James[x] via Gandiva Driver II -> Pin
-Stiff, hard hitting match, between the elegant, but deadly "Valkyries" and the rough and ready "James Sisters". The girls of "C.O.D.E" skirted a DQ on more than one occasion, as they took it to Duvalie's battle maidens, but Ennea, with her longer reach, height, and strength, was able to lift up Jenny James for a Gandiva Driver II. On the pin, Duvalie pushed Jenny's foot off the ropes, and the ref counted the 1-2-3.

Conrad Johnson: The fix is in boys and girls! Duvalie with the assist, and the "James Sisters" look PISSED!

Tony Bologna: Right you are Conrad. They've been struggling with teams like these lately, and they just seem to keep coming, but the "James Sisters" are always ready for a fight. They'll continue to guard the gates so to speak.

4. Singles: Jammer beat "Firebrand X" via Pumped Up Slam Jam -> Pin
-Jammer was up next, coming out to a tepid reaction, which seemed to confuse him. He didn't even get his build up music, or his basketball hoop to shoot from. He was up against Firebrand X....maybe. It was "Flood Generation" Firebrand X, and no one is for sure if it truly is Firebrand X or not. He fought like X, but lacked some heart and intensity, while Jammer had it to spare, especially with his weird entrance. It seemed to really bother him. Firebrand X seemed to be wrestling as the real deal, but when Firebrand's music began to play, he seemed slightly confused and looked to the ramp, allowing Jammer to escape a Fire Thunder Driver, and hit a Reverse DDT. He went up top and pumped his kicks for the Slam Jam and the pin.

Tony Bologna: And that's the win for the "Slam Master", but here comes Bashin Dan, our Triple Crown World Champion, and Benjamin, the Television Champion.

Conrad Johnson: I wonder how much they want for those belts? I collect them at home. It's a hobby.

Jammer: You guys look like you've got something to say to me. My music was cut. You didn't send Vape out to help me with my bit. You both look upset.

Bashin Dan: Shouldn't we be? Don't you have something you want to tell us?

Jammer: What do you think I have to tell you Dan?

Benjamin: He saw you Jam. He saw you with the enemy.

Jammer: The enemy? You been spying on me "friends"?

Bashin Dan: I was coming to talk to you. I'll admit, you seemed uneasy when we talked about what happened at Rumble City. I wanted to talk you about it. I wanted to admit that I felt guilty about having a shred of doubt, but then I saw you....with him. He called himself B.L. Ceebub, but that's just a cover, and you know it. You know who that is. The same man in the shadows behind w00t. The same man that nearly tempted Cade to the dark side forever. That's Dae Montell, and he's pure evil. Why would you sign the contract!? Why would you sell your soul for success!? You didn't need him! You saw what he did to Cade!

Benjamin: We're friends Jammer.

Jammer: Are we?! Right now, it doesn't seem that way. You guys don't seem to be trusting me. Dan, you look pissed.

Bashin Dan: I'm mourning you! I don't know how to feel right now! Our main event, I was looking so forward to. You've tainted it. Corrupted it! You stole your spo-

Jammer: I DID NOT! You idiots! I said NO! Heh....he DID offer his services, but I said no. I turned him down. I TURNED HIM DOWN! I was afraid to talk to you about it honestly, because I thought you might think I was giving into my demons, but I don't HAVE those demons. I've been working hard to wash off those sins. I've been giving everything I have to be worthy of a match like this! I had confidence in myself again! I believe in myself again! I grabbed that Brass Ring, and I won that Rumble WITH Benjamin by my own hands. I SAID NO!

Bashin Dan: ....

Benjamin: He's behind us right now.

Jammer: Probably laughing at the two of you. I thought we were all friends that believed in each other.

Bashin Dan: I wish....you would have trusted me enough to come to me with this.

Jammer: I wish....you both trusted me as much as you said you did. I'm not so sure anymore.

Bashin Dan: .....

Jammer: .....



The scene then cut to a dark room, as many things do, when Tack Angel stepped up, still obscured by darkness.

Tack Angel: I've have some time to think about our match Hazen. To you, this is you taking on one of the biggest names in EBW. You want to make a name for yourself at my expense. To me, that just puts you in a very very long line, that was underestimated me for so long. You know what else that makes you. A bully. I hate bullies. Yeah, I said hate. They make me angry. Not nettled. Angry. You want a chance to show off your "superior Euroland wrestling ability", but I've slightly changed my mind. We need something explosive, and I mean ACTUALLY explosive. Something that will shock the world, and will cut to the bone. After all, this is the 15th Victory Explosion. The show that made me. The show that lead me to where I am now. This one of those very very rare moments, where I'm going to let my anger get the best of me. I'm going to stop kidding around. I'm going let you know exactly what I am.



Tack Anel: And THAT is really pissed off. Hazen, we're going to have an Explosive Barbed Wire Death Match....but unlike some places....it's for real.

The camera cut back to the ring, where w00t stood with Ripper Jane.

w00t: I'd say it's time. Yep, the bell tolls for thee Trevor Mach, come on out here, but be wary, do not cause discomfort to Ripper Jane here or myself, or you can forget it.

Mach was quick to come in through the crowd, and huffed and puffed as he paced by the two figures that drew his ire.

w00t: Relax Trevor, the fun hasn't even started yet. You're like a slug in the sun. Helpless, under the great power that looms above you. I want to savor this, for just a moment longer. I have control.

Trevor Mach: Your God complex ain't gonna save your ass when I lay into you. Get on with it. What do you want?

w00t: Sometimes, and in your case all the time, it's better to remain quiet and be though a fool, then to open your mouth and erase all doubt. I don't have a God complex. I'm too smart for that. I realize that God will not strike down the blight, if such a being exists. So I will not be a God over you Trevor. I am your devil, and I've picked up a thing or two from an expert on the subject. I am not God, but if you and I walked onto a plane together, I'd be the pilot, and you'd be the passenger. I'm an innovator, and you're just a broken down imitation. You're a dying breed, and I think you should die. I think everything about you should die, but that's up to you. If you step into this match, it'll happen. I'll kill the aura and the "legend" of Trevor Mach once and for all.

Trevor Mach: I've heard that a lot before. Step aside. Retire. Stop fighting. Give in. NO! I'll die fighting, every day of my life. It feeds my family, and it's what I live to do. You're not killing me, or what I stand for. Are you going to set your terms, or what? Jane, you better just stay back. I see you over there. You're really proud of yourself huh?

Ripper Jane: Hahaha. Yeah....yeah I am.

w00t: Eyes over here Trevor. Look into my eyes. We're going to see just how steep a price you're willing to pay. I see you came out with your EBW Challenge Championship. You worked hard for that. You even cleaned it up, and gave it a new strap? Am I seeing that right? Looks like the old Havok World Championship. You couldn't help yourself could you. You're covetous of those belts, but let's not hater the sinner, only the sin. I want the other members of "Blood 4 Blood" to come out here now. Let's play a little game.

Picky, Subculture, and Valentine all walked out and into the ring.

Mav Valentine: You better be careful. You're really outnumbered now dude.

w00t: If they touch me Mach, the deal is off.

Trevor Mach: Leave him be guys. Please.

w00t: Say, it wasn't too long ago, that Picky and you nearly killed each other over the Challenge Championship. You made it synonymous with hard work right? The "work horse" belt? I want you to throw it to the mat, right now.

Trevor Mach: .....Fine.

Trevor tossed the belt on the mat.

w00t: Trust time. Let's see if your trust in these men is warranted. Any of you can take that title right now, and walk out as the new Challenge Champion. I'm sure Trevor would acknowledge that the title is yours now. Here you go guys. Prove that loyalty is a lie. Prove that you're in this to stab him in the back. Right Trevor? If they pick it up, they can have the title. Right?

Trevor Mach: ...Right. Have at it guys.

Picky Minch: We pick it up, and it's ours?

w00t: That's right Picky. See? I'm still looking out for you, after all the times you have forsaken me.

Picky Minch: Heh. You think that's what this is? A title given has no value. Titles are won or lost in the ring fighting for them. I'll pass.

w00t: An ingrate like always. Well Mav? You want to get out from under Trevor once and for all right? He said it'd be all for one and one for all, but here we are talking about him again. This is your chance. Take the title.

Mav Valentine: And you think we're the idiots. We know what you're doing here, and it's not going to work. We're "Blood 4 Blood" bitch.

w00t: How colorful. Well Sub-

Subculture: Save it. Just save it. The answer is no. Doesn't matter if we're bonded right now or not. I doubt any of these men would able to look at themselves in the mirror if they took the w00t path to success. Shove it up your-

w00t: That's quite enough. Well, I have to say, I'm a little surprised. I thought you three were smarter, and far less loyal. Well, you need to leave the ring now.

Trevor Mach: Please guys. Leave the ring.

w00t: Very good. You're taking this seriously at least. If they come back into the ring for this next part, then you're not getting the match.

Trevor Mach: I'm not playing many more of your games.

w00t: Just one more. One more thing is all I require, and when it's done, it's done. Simple as that.

Trevor Mach: ...Fine. Alright. This is it. What do you want?

Ripper Jane: Cuff yourself to the ring rope first. Hahaha!

Trevor Mach: ....

w00t: That's right Trevor. Prove you want this. You set aside your ego. Now you have to set aside your safety.

Trevor Mach: ....*cuffs himself to the top rope*

w00t: Good. Now, I have in my pocket a pair of brass knuckles. I do believe outside of EBW you're the Regional Brass Knuckles Heritage Champion correct?

Trevor Mach: ...Yeah.

w00t: Well then, you get the idea here. I'm going to make this simple. The cost now is blood.

Trevor Mach: I've got blood to spare.

w00t: I thought you might say that. I'm going to hit you with this, 5 times in the face. You're going to let me. If you can take me rearranging your features for 5 hits, without begging me to stop, then I will give you the match you want. I think it's a bargain. You willing to make that deal with the devil?

Trevor Mach: I'm waiting. You going to get your free shots in or not?

w00t: Heh....don't mind if I DO!

w00t laid two hard shots into Trevor's face, as the crowd grimaced. "Blood 4 Blood" yelled for it to stop, and tried to get in the ring.

Trevor Mach: Don't guys! *spits blood* Don't do it. That's what he wants. He figured out we've got loyalty with the belt ploy, and now he's trying to use that against us. Just look away. Lady, I know you're watching at home. Just work with me here. I got.....I got a plan.

w00t: YOU have the plan? You're the one that's only standing because of the hand cuffs propping you up.

Trevor Mach: Haven't knocked me out yet. You have 3 more shots before you start regretting this bullshit dude, so get on with it.

w00t: Your call!

w00t happily nailed Trevor in the face two more times with the knuckles.

w00t: Oh, that's got to hurt. I should have relished every hit more slowly, but I couldn't help myself. Do you know how long I've wanted to have you in this situation. You broken inside and out now I bet.

Trevor Mach: Nah. You can't break me. Maybe my cheek bone....but that.....that's about it.

w00t: Shhhh. Try not to talk so much. You're fading here. I bet they won't clear you to compete in Maelstrom this week. No Fight Club for you. That's another thing I've taken away from you. Wow, everyone looks so mad. We're having fun here people. We've still got one more punch to go! It's funny, all of my research on you, those segments where I presented what I learned, and the best information came from this lady right here. Ripper Jane. Your old flame as it were. She, and a "important friend" of mine, both agreed, your family is your weakness, just like Tack Angel, but you go about it in a different way. We got the desired result almost immediately. Rage. Uncontrollable anger. You would do anything to protect them. Love....it's a such a weakness, especially for a sociopath like you right? You don't feel normal....not like other people do. You hide your tendencies. You hide behind jokes, and that dumb smirk. You only ever felt alive causing chaos right? That's why you, Dougie, Derek, and DA formed "Fenrir" right? Way back in the day? Not a wrestling group mind you, but a bunch of kids, looking to create chaos, and boy did you ever. Love....it got through, when nothing else would. You found things and people that you did care about, but someone like you should know they are a liability. They are a weakness.

Trevor Mach: They give me more than you could ever know. The strength to get back up, plant my feet, and tell you to hit me again, with everything that you've got. You better hope it kills me. You better hope it at least puts me in a coma. Just remember. It's all on the wheel.

w00t: The wheel?

Trevor Mach: ....It all comes around.

w00t: ....Uh-huh. Well then, here it COME- wait....I got a better idea! Jane! Would you like the last shot?

Ripper Jane: Me? Oh ho ho ho ho! Absolutely! This bad bad boy, needs to take his medicine doesn't he? I'd love nothing more than to punish you again.

Trevor Mach: P-p-punish me? You....you're the one...that needs a spanking...heh...heh...

Ripper Jane: Oh no, you don't get to talk to me like that. I put up with it for too long, putting on that stupid persona, or that bubbly girl full of enthusiasm. I mean I DO have some, but it's for all the things that you try to put into the back of your mind. The heinous thoughts, and the chaos you struggle with everyday. That rage. The screaming inside. That's what I live for. That's why doing what I did to you was so much fun, and it was worth. Having to fuck your body, to fuck your mind. Not a bad trade off. It had been way too long since the last time I dealt with either you or that bitch at home with the kids. Helping to widen your rift was one of the most pleasurable things I've done in life, but you two.....were bonded stronger that I thought. Still together....closer than ever. But now....you have kids, and THAT is just what I was waiting for. Kids...what a game changer huh? Daddy Trevor. HA! Who the fuck would ever let you be a Dad? 

Trevor Mach: Just do it Jane! HIT ME! DO IT DO-

Ripper Jane kicked Trevor between the legs before punching him in the face with the brass knuckles. He slumped to the mat as w00t smiled.

w00t: Savor this ephemeral moment, and put in the highlight reels. Trevor Mach, a broken, bloody mess. All of this for a match, that you're going to lose, because I'm perfect, and you're trash. You always have been. A false God in EBW, that will soon be dragged to Hell, but his own worst demons, and yours truly. When you come to, you can get the contract ready. I'll be happy to sign.

Christina Angel(c) beat Lainey Strong via One Foot Pin -> Title Defense!

VBW Champion Razorblade was watching on a monitor backstage, when suddenly President Swift approached him.

Razorblade: I was wondering if you'd show up. I did. Here I am. So what is-

Swift: You don't speak. Shut your damn mouth. You're in my house, and in my house, I speak. I make the rules. You want to blame me for shit, and get into my business, then that's fine, but joining up with w00t, and causing me that kind of grief just pissed me off a little too much. I had no problems getting in the ring with you at Rumble City, and I have no problems doing it again. You want to get back at me, well I want a piece of you too you cocky son of a bitch. This is a contract for Victory Explosion XV. You against me. One-on-one. Sign it or get the hell out. Don't sign it? Get the hell out. Just as long as you get the hell out.

Razorblade: Heh....you got a pen?

Nerma: Hello again EBW fans. We've got another EBW World update for you before Maelstrom, as we've got some recent developments coming to light here. Some new names and returning names coming to EBW, and the Xcite card in its entirety. It's here, and ready for you, but before you see it, we go back to those names I was talking about. First of all, remember Javier Leos? The former Kiva? He's back! After successfully dealing with the threats in Anahauc, one of the most promising stars from that country returns, with a new outlook on life and his career.



Javier Leos: When I originally left EBW, it was because I had a job to do back home, but it was more than that. I had spent months fighting my dark side, and trying to see the light again. Thanks to Fray Tiburon, I was able to, but then the mask controversy brought about rage inside of me again. I felt darkness again. I will NOT or EVER wear the mask again, but I will also not forget who I am, and where I came from. I now have the darkness and light in balance, because inside of me, one can not exist without the other. I come back to compete, and prove my worth, as a Javier Leos, who will still carry the legacy of Kiva with me, a storied tradition and legacy, that is near and dear to me. I'll see you soon.

-

Nerma: See? A new attitude from Javier, like I said, but I like it. We have other figures coming in though. Considered foreigners in Anahauc themselves, this team of straight shooters, and brutal submission experts seem to take issue with Javier Leos returning at the same time they are debuting. A former pilot and chocobo enthusiast turned Anahuac wrestler, is bringing back Hashim Al-Singh, and a man not seen in EBW in over a decade, named Yvgeny. Along with his rookie in training son Dajh, this man intend to take his team straight to the top in EBW, but not before dealing with Leos. This is Sazh and "Team Sazh".



Sazh: We see you "HAVI!" We see what you're doing! You're trying to cut in on our success! I'm bringing my boys into EBW, and you want to get into our business! You want to get in the way! Well big mistake! See, this is my focus! My focus is to make sure that Hashim, Yvgeny, and my son Dajh are a success in EBW! I used to try being my old carefree self, but time is running out! A focus comes with a time limit! This year, we'll see "Team Sazh" successful in EBW, and we'll gladly run through you in the process! What do you think about THAT "HAVI!".

Makoto Angel was in the greenhouse of Crystal Heaven's Castle, tending to her produce. Suddenly she heard a wailing coming from the lake.

Makoto Angel: Was that Slydra?

Makoto undid her apron and removed her gloves and went out to check on the sea dragon. Arrived, she met up with members of Faris' Pirate Crew.

Pirate Yancy: Ah, tis be the Cap'n's Sister-Wife.

Makoto Angel: What's going on?

Pirate Mallone: Seems the Cap'n's other sister has been grumpy all day, from as far as we can tell.

A big splash of water burst out, surprising Makoto, revealing coming to shore a pirate in snorkel gear.

Pirate Yancy: What ye find?

Pirate Dick: The ole girl has algae growing on her.

Makoto Angel: Well, that's not good. We don't exactly have a route for Slydra is move around much. She's kinda stuck in the lake.

Pirate Dick: Tis the case, madam.

All four pondered of what to do, when another splash came from the water.

Makoto Angel: Was there more crew down there?

Pirate Yancy: No ma'm.

Suddenly another splash as a figure came to shore. It was a well endowed lady in a seashell top, with strawberry blonde hair and a big smile, she laid on shore in a presenting fashion with her lower half still in the water.

???: Oh! Hello! Didn't expect to see people here!

Makoto Angel: And you are?

Darryl: My name is Darryl, and I live under the water here.

Makoto Angel: Oh! So you're a...

Darryl lifted her lower half ashore revealing her pink fish-like body.

Darryl: A mermaid!

Makoto Angel: Wow! Never thought I'd meet a mermaid!

Darryl: I never thought I'd meet Land people!

Both share a laugh as the Pirates huddle together to discuss a Pirate Poker Tournament for later in the night.

Makoto Angel: So what brings you ashore to Crystal Heaven?

Darryl: So this is Crystal Heaven? Neat! I always heard about land people from my Gran. And while I was on duty to gather medicinal algae for home, I noticed that guy over there in the water looking at the sea dragon.

Makoto Angel: Oh, well it's because Slydra here has some algae growing on her.

Darryl: Does she?! Do you mind if I take a look?

Makoto looks at the pirates who notice her attention, they murmor a bit before giving the thumbs up.

Makoto Angel: Looks like it's oka.. Ooop!

Darryl was already in the water and checking the belly of Slydra. Makoto curiously watched as Darryl scraped some algae off with her seashell knife. Darryl just as quick rode up to shore once more.

Darryl: Take a look! This kind of algae growing on Slydra is Phytoplankton. Because of where this lake is located, the algae is able to grow on Slydra because of the sun being centered mostly on this area. By itself it's harmless and actually nutritional, but a lot of it I'm sure is what's causing her as much the aggravation as she has.

Makoto Angel: Well, it's good to know what kind it is. I'm a gardener myself and grow plants, so I guess we have that in common. Can you help her?

Darryl: Help her? I was going to ask if I could take it with me?

Makoto Angel: Oh! I'm sure that's fine.

Darryl: Would you like to help?

Makoto Angel in surprise: Oh! Well... Sure! Let me get the Pirate's gear.

Darryl: Oh, that's unnecessary. Here.

Darryl quickly throws a necklace over Makoto. Makoto looks at the design of the necklace. It's a sea shell lined necklace with bones and studded with precious jewels and a big ruby in the center.

Darryl: Come on, it'll help you breathe underwater.

Makoto Angel: O-okay.

Makoto then slowly walked into the water and took a deep breath. She slowly made her way to Slydra's belly when Darryl saw her and swam too her.

Darryl: You gotta breathe girly!

Darryl then proceeded to tickle Makoto, Makoto tried to resist but eventually succumbed to the torture and laughed. She panickly grabbed her mouth but realized she was fine.

Makoto Angel: How is this possible?

Darryl: The necklace I gave you converts the oxygen in the water to something you can breath. We use it for it's opposite effect on land of grabbing the water in the air.

Makoto Angel: That's amazing.

Darryl: Come on, help me get this algae!

Makoto & Darryl then scraped all the algae off of Slydra and put them in a couple of thin threaded nets Darryl had.

Darryl: Would you like to see where I live?

Makoto Angel: That'd be awesome!

Darryl took Makoto by hand, as they swam deeper into the lake. Eventually leading to a tunnel.

Darryl: Just through here.

As Darryl & Makoto swam deeper and deeper, the tunnel became brighter and brighter. With a big flash of light, Makoto adjusted her eyes and beheld an entire city of merpeople. Swimming to and fro, business open, a food bazaar with stalls everywhere, an entire society. Makoto paused for a moment and saw some actually had legs and were walking on the streets.

Makoto Angel: Wait, there are normal people here too?

Darryl: Nope!

Darryl then did a twirl and revealed her legs and skirt worn lower half.

Darryl: They're all mermaids, like me!

Makoto Angel: So wait, why did you..?

Darryl: For dramatic effect of course! Haha!

Makoto Angel: So Merpeople are just like regular people.

Darryl: Ahuh, we do practically everything the same as you guys do... at least I think. So I've heard. You guys make babies with a male penetrating a female, right?

Makoto blushed and turned away.

Darryl: So I'm right!

Makoto Angel: Yes, I have a child myself.

Darryl: Oh, so you birthed a kid! Was the pregnancy difficult?

Makoto blushed further.

Makoto Angel: Ahaha! Uh... no it went really smoothly! Hehehe...

Darryl: Ha! I'll have to tell my sisters about this. Land women have smoother vaginal canals.

Makoto Angel: Not exactly, but can we drop the subject? It's embarrassing.

Darryl: Oh sure, let me take you back home though. I gotta get back soon to start dinner for my family.

Makoto Angel: Me too actually. Lot of mouths to feed.

Darryl: Oh?! How many people?

Makoto Angel: 11 kids, 9 adults, a pirate crew, Slydra, and a family of penguins. Give or take a visitor.

Darryl: How do you do it? You gotta tell me your secrets, cause I want a big family myself.

Makoto Angel: Grow as much as you can yourself, but yeah, let's get me home.

Makoto & Darryl swam back out of town, through the tunnel, and back to the lake. The trio of Pirates quickly ran to help Makoto out.

Pirate Mallone: We thought we lost ye, Madam Makoto. We weren't sure how to tell the Cap'n.

Makoto Angel: I'm fine, in fact, I made a new friend.

Darryl: I'm your friend?! That's awesome, can I come visit?

Makoto Angel: Absolutely, and you can take home as much algae as you need off of Slydra.

Slydra purred and nuzzled Darryl in thanks.

Darryl: Aw, thanks big gal! Makoto, my new bf, we're gonna have to do some cultural trades. I'd love to see what land grown food can be done cooked in traditional Merfood.

Makoto Angel: And I the same for your traditional cuisine.

Makoto's necklace glowed quickly and burst of wind envoloped her.

Darryl: Blouse is now drying!

The wind died down and Makoto's clothes now looked fresh & clean.

Darryl: Your blouse is now dry! Haha!

Makoto Angel: That's amazing.

Darryl: Go ahead and keep the necklace, that way you can visit any time.

Makoto Angel: Really? Thank you do much!

Darryl: Bye Makoto! See ya soon!

Makoto Angel: Bye Darryl! Good luck on your cooking!

A shadow then creeped up to Makoto and tapped her shoulder, surprising her and the pirates.

Makoto Angel: AH!

???: Calm down.

Makoto Angel: Tali?

Lady M's: So who was that?

Makoto Angel: Oh? It was a mermaid! Her name is Darryl and she comes from under the lake. There's a whole civilization down there! Isn't it amazing?

Lady M's takes a swig from her water bottle and just stares down Makoto.

Makoto Angel: Is something wrong?

Lady M's: She had some rather large boobs, yeah?

Makoto blushed

Makoto Angel: Y-yesh I guess...

Lady M's started to wave her bottle as she talked.

Lady M's: Does Tack know about her? Does he know about the mermaids?

Makoto Angel: Well... no... I just met her.

Lady M's looked at Makoto, then looked at the lake.

Lady M's: Do yourself a favor and don't mention it to him.

Makot Angel: But I-

Lady M's: Trust me, you'll want to keep them a secret. If he sees her, just say she's a friend from Kyoto or something.

Makoto Angel: O-ok, I'll keep them a secret.

Lady M's looked around and patted Makoto in the shoulder.

Lady M's: Come on, didn't you say you were gonna show me some recipies? I am The Mom of EBW you know, I should at least start learning some new tricks.

Lady M's turned a started walking up the hill back to the Crystal Heaven Castle.

Makoto Angel: Coming!

Some time later after the meal was prepared, served, and eaten. The Angel Family was chatting, with Tack Angel & Trevor Mach making small talk. Trevor looked across the table and elbowed tack.

Trevor Mach: Hey buddy, what's that on Makoto's arm?

Tack Angel: It looks kind green.

Lady M's leaned in.

Lady M's: It's some lettuce, must have gotten on her arm while we were working.

Tack Angel: Oh that makes sense, the salad was quite good. Thank you by the way for helping her.

Lady M's chuckled and smirked.

Lady M's: Oh believe me, I think I got something out of this too. Hehehe.

Trevor Mach: What's with the hehehe?

Lady M's: I'll tell ya later.

Tack & Trevor shrugged, as the sun started to set.

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* Tangelo. How do. This is Wide World of Wrestling, where we cover the sport of Professional Wrestling, in Eagleland and beyond....but mostly Eagleland. Mostly. Yeah. We have news today that you might find interesting, as well as an EBW title change in VBW. Yes....you heard that right. Can you...believe it? I can, because I was told about it. Of course, I am an encyclopedia of wrestling, and I know that this is not unheard of, but it rarely happens, where an outsider snags an EBW Championship. We'll get to that in a little bit. First, we're going to talk about a major happening in the growing territory scene. Several wrestling promotions, such as VBW, 3'dPW, Championship Wrestling from Summers, and Mid-South 4-EVER are going to recognize their own World Champion. No, they aren't forming into one promotion, because that has been catastrophic, like when EWA tried to rally promotions to fight EBW. They didn't have the money or the infrastructure. No, these promotions will just work together in recognizing a Unified World Champion. The current holder of the "supposed" Unified World Championship is Barry "The Master" Lawless, but representatives of the promotions will all converge on a show during Victory Explosion weekend near The Strip, to crown a World Champion, and present them a brand new belt. The representatives need to be the top champions of their respective promotions. EBW's Trevor Mach appeared as a representative of Championship Wrestling from Summers, as he holds their Regional Heritage Brass Knuckles Championship. He didn't look happy to be there.



Vance Tussle: Here it is folks, the new Unified World Championship belt. It is made out of gold, and it's adorned with valuable gems. It is a trophy of class and sophistication. It will be OUR World Champion, like we've always said we've had in Barry Lawless. He has been OUR World Champion, but VBW, 3'dPW, and Championship Wrestling from Summers will also be recognizing this Unified World Champion. We will be holding a joint show in the Dusty Dunes Desert on Victory Explosion weekend, where these four men will be eligible to compete for the title. I-

Trevor Mach: I'm out.

Vance Tussle: Excuse me?

Trevor Mach: I'm out. I have other things to do that weekend obviously. Besides, Bashin Dan is already the World Champion.

Vance Tussle: Well, I mean that's a point of view, but other promotions-

Barry "The Master" Lawless: Let the man speak. He's talking about dealing with a family dispute. He and his wife and going to batter two people who made a big mistake. I can respect that.

Flying Man: You know I can too.

Razorblade: I find it ridiculous, that you'd try to duck me, but whatever.

Trevor Mach: The only time I'm going to duck you, is when Swift Pounces your ass out of the ring. Then I'll duck. Guys, that's an awesome belt, and "Blood 4 Blood" will SURELY be coming after it sooner than later, but to be honest, I only have one thing I have to do right now. Beat regret into w00t and watch Lady do the same to Jane.

Vance Tussle: Well, I guess we can all understand that. We should still enjoy these three men going after-

Razorblade: I'm out too.

Vance Tussle: Oh for crying out loud.

Razorblade: I got a job to do that weekend too. I'll be doing you all a favor. I'll be doing myself a favor. I'll come back with the blood of a President on my hands, and I'll claim the Unified World Championship down the line.

Flying Man: But you made a fuss about Trev- never mind.

Vance Tussle: Anyone else? Well like I said, it's going to be a HUGE one-on-one encounter between 3'dPW's Flying Man, and Barry "The Master" Lawless. You don't want to miss it folks. A true Unified World Champion! *sigh* Way to really sell this guys.

-

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* Fun fact. Did you know that the 3'dPW Inter-Species Championship belt is modified from the old EBW Animus Championship? Do you remember that Championship? I bet you don't. Moving on. Razorblade was not interested in claiming this prize, but he had his eyes on other prizes, namely beating EBW's President Swift, but anything that could tamper with Swift's company would tide him over. The VBW Champion got that chance, but before we get to that. A short interlude that will lead us to the finale of my story. That is called suspense. It's meant to keep you around longer. Did it work?



Benjamin: Lainey? My fair maiden. I haven't seen you in days! I was getting worried.

Lainey Strong: Well, I got fired, so I'm not exactly welcome in the back during shows. I would have called or texted, but you don't have a phone.

Benjamin: Yes...you're right....I really need to get one of those talky boxes. Am I ever going to assimilate?

Lainey Strong: Heh. I'd rather you didn't. I like you just the way you are. Well Benji, I'm just fine. I'm not going to let something like this keep me down. It's not what a "Strong" does. Sometimes we turn heel though, but I don't think I'm capable, so I'll just get creative instead. I'm off to see if I can get work in VBW.

Benjamin: What?!

Lainey Strong: Yeah. I know it's a little more hardcore, but a girl's got to make a living.

Benjamin: Allow me.

Lainey Strong: Huh?

Benjamin: I'll fight in your stead.

Lainey Strong: Benji, I-

Benjamin: I know. You don't like having others fight your battles. I know that you're capable. I know that you're more than capable. I've seen you grow so much, and you inspired me to grow as well.

Lainey Strong: That means a lot to me, but I have to do this for myself. It's more than just the money. It's about knowing that no matter what happens, I'm going to continue being a wrestler.

Benjamin: Well...then...I can at least go with you. We'll go together.

Lainey Strong: Are you sure? Don't you need to focus on other things? I mean, the "Dan Club" is having troubles, and you have a big BIG title match coming up.

Benjamin: You're just as important to me. I'll always make time for you. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?

-

Tangelo: What was the worst that could happen indeed?

VBW
Twoson Elementary Gym, Twoson
Channel 2


1. Women's No Rules Singles: Lainey Strong<EBW> beat Bloody Mary via Sling Blade -> Pin
2. EBW Television Championship: Razorblade beat Benjamin(c)<EBW> via Repeated Chair Shots -> Pin -> NEW EBW Television Champion!

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* That's right, Benjamin lost the EBW Television Championship in VBW. He was absolutely in high demand for the show, but President Swift indicated that he'd have to put the Television Championship on the line. Personally, I think it was partially a test to see if he was willing to step up. Maybe it was a way to keep him from going. In any case, the clean cut Benjamin, who has been one of the very best in the ring lately, fell prey to his open challenge opponent, the VBW Champion himself Razorblade. See how I said that would come back around? He didn't have time for the Unified World Championship, but the very next day he took an EBW title away from one of EBW President Swift's talent. The problem came in that Benjamin wanted to wrestle, and he wasn't used to the barbaric matches you can find in VBW. Lainey Strong fared a lot better, winning her match over Bloody Mary with a Sling Blade. Benjamin took several chair shots in his match, which might even put him in jeopardy of being in the Victory Explosion main event. As Razorblade gloated over his victory, President Swift appeared once again.



Swift: You done soaking it in yet bitch?

Razorblade: Who keeps letting you in here?

Swift: I'm the EBW President. I go where the fuck I want. You know damn well that kid came here to stand by someone he cares about, and to have a competitive match. I warned him you guys like to play dirty around here, but he tried anyways. You took advantage of that.

Razorblade: You saying you wouldn't?

Swift: Anyone who fights me, knows what I bring to the table every time, and that is your body....going through said table. Benjamin is one of the best wrestlers in the world right now. You couldn't out wrestle his ass, so you tried to concuss him.

Razorblade: It's not my fault he came here and put the title on the line. I just took advantage. Now look, I've got two belts. Look at all the excitement. This one means I'm King of Extreme, and this one says that I get to come over to your house and play whenever I want.

Swift: No, it means you're beholden to my rules now dickhead. You will show up WHEN I SAY, or you'll be stripped of the title. You don't bring the belt? I'll come take it from you, and put your head through a damn wall! Our match at Victory Explosion just got higher stakes.

Razorblade: You want the title?

Swift: I just want it off you. I don't want it myself. It's not going to be on the line, but if you lose, you vacate it.

Razorblade: That sounds familiar. Kind of like how you lose the Triple Cro-

Swift: You don't have to remind me! I want more than that though! You lose the title, AND you vacate your VBW Championship too.

Razorblade: You want me at the bottom again? Is that it? Why would I agree to those terms. What could you offer me?

Swift: An EBW Contract....and a shot at the EBW Triple Crown World Championship.

Razorblade: HA! You're serious aren't you? Wow, I must REALLY be under your skin to offer so much. You just want me beaten and humiliated, but what you'll end up with is a man with the Triple Crown, the Television Championship, and my prized possession, the VBW Championship. You've just created a 5-Crown DEMON, and you don't even realize it yet. I guess in the end, you can blame this chump. Get him out of my ring.

-

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* I'm told Benjamin is spending the night in the hospital, and being evaluated. They want to make sure that he's capable of competing at Victory Explosion XV. They're not taking any chances here. I'm also told Lainey Strong has been by his side the whole time. That's sweet right? Definitely the hardest loss for Benjamin in some time.....the match...not spending time with Lainey. I would imagine that would be enjoyable. Ciao.
