EBW World
Nerma: Well, it happened. Oh, welcome to EBW World by the way. It's a new era again...again...again. *sigh* Just stressed about what happened on Xcite Steve, give me a break! We're fast approaching the Great Eagleland Bash, and a few of our big names have a lot to say on the matter. We're pressed for time though, and I'm a little stressed out, so play those videos while I find some tums or something. What do you mean we only have "Vape Indigestion Suppositories"?! I am NOT stick one of those up my a-
Cadmus: Tack Angel, my nemesis and rival. I don't think you understand just what you're up against. While you've been dealing with the calamities in Crystal Heaven and whatever else you do with having so many wives and children, I've been training with the top trainers and equipment. It's scary how good I'm getting. I'll admit before, I stepped into this battleground with all ego and no experience, but I've been biding my time. You ever wonder why we've never truly had a one on one match? I knew better. I'm smart. I know that you get lucky with those kicks. I know that you CLUTCHING the WRIST somehow makes you deadly. But, I'm better than you. I've always been better than you. I'm better now, and I was better in all the lives before this. I'll be better in any life that comes next. You can bet on that.
Bellerophon: My "brother" is oh so right. He IS better Star Prince. We is better now, and he was better then, and I have experience on that subject remember? I know I do. *wink and kiss*
-
Nerma: NO! I'm not doing it! Get that thing away from me you sick fetishi- oh we're back?! I said roll the videos! I'm done! Air the next tape and show the card! I've got too much anxiety! Tess you bi-
Mav Valentine: You know, it's not easy to get air time when you're the Triple Crown World Champion that certain people don't want. You can't stop me, and you can't suppress me. I've worked too hard. I spent years battling it out in bloody battles in VBW, scraping and clawing to get here. I slept on the couch of the Mach family, and I played gopher, so I could learn all that I could. I humbled myself for that. I'm not feeling so humble anymore. I'm feeling angry. I'm feeling fired up. w00t and Cadmus, you want to stick your noses into my legacy? Try it. I'm going to be the one who beats BOTH Bad Dudes. It's not personal "Star Prince", it's the benchmark. However, I will also team with you. This week on Xperience, I want the two of us to form a "Bad Dude" combination of our own, when we take on w00t and Cadmus in the main event. NO RULES!

Doctor Degrees Office
Lady M's was lying on the bed, as Degrees, ran the ultrasound device over her stomach.
Lady M's: Yikes! That's cold! Watch where you're going with that thing.
Degrees: Sorry! I'd say you should know how this goes, but this is the first one you're actually carrying right?
Lady M's: Huh, I figured everyone forgot about the situation with Justice.
Degrees: Some of us remember the unofficial version still. I personally remember THREE different versions.
Lady M's: I see. STILL COLD!
Doctor Degrees: Sorry! Look, I found it see?
Lady M's: Huh....so that's it huh? What is it?
Degrees: It's a baby.
Lady M's: ....
Degrees: Doctor humor Tali. I'd say lighten up, but I don't want to eat my stethoscope. It appears to be a girl.
Lady M's: Another girl. Wow. Is that-
Degrees: The heartbeat? It sure is.
Lady M's: Huh...I...I'm not sure how I'm feeling right now. It's altogether new.
Degrees: Taken aback by the wonders of motherhood? Feeling the maternal instincts boiling up, with a fierce desire to love and protect the child?
Lady M's: It's either that....or I have to burp.
Degrees: Right.
Lady M's: Well then, I have....a personal question for you.
Degrees: I'm married. Haha...AGAIN....just humor.
Lady M's: I liked you better when you were brooding and depressed.
Degrees: Awww.
Lady M's: Can you tell if...the baby might have any...deficiencies?
Degrees: What do you mean?
Lady M's: Well, we got lucky with Justice, because of...well...we'll call them shenanigans. However, this one is coming straight from...well you know. Me.
Degrees: ....Uh-huh?
Lady M's: I'm color blind Doc.
Degrees: YOU'RE JOKING?!
Lady M's: No? Why would I?
Degrees: So was Trevor! I mean...so IS Trevor. I got him corrective glasses for it! Do you need a pair?
Lady M's: No, I need to know if this sort of thing is hereditary.
Degrees: Oh I see. Well, it's definitely possible, and the odds go up when both parents have the issue. Man, you two, what a pair.
Lady M's: ....
Degrees: Uh...it COULD also skip a generation. All the bits and pieces exist within you to create a perfectly healthy baby. Sometimes it all assembles correctly, and sometimes it doesn't. Of course, when I say correctly, I don't mean the baby is "incorrect" if born with deficiencies. They're all wonderful. Just some, will have to make some adjustments.
Lady M's: ....Like Hope did when she was deaf.
Degrees: Yes, BUT that's why I'm here. Remember? I was able to help her with her hearing. If this one is color blind, we can get her some glasses when the time is right. We can let her see what real color looks like.
Lady M's: ...I think....I think I'd like that too. To see color I mean.
Degrees: ...Absolutely, but I have other patients and-
Lady M's: Now Doc.
Degrees: Right! Of course! Janice, cancel my 12-o-clock!
Saturn City
Hope Mach, Christina Angel, and Bashin Dan all assembled at a street corner, looking worn out as they huffed and puffed.
Hope Mach: You guys find anything?
Bashin Dan: I think someone might have seen them in the city, but so far nothing.
Christina Angel: Which is surprising. Gordon Cole is so loud, you could hear him over a crowd.
Hope Mach: If they know where my Dad is, then I have to find them.
Bashin Dan: I'm sorry. I should have stopped them when I first heard it, but it just didn't connect. After what we saw with Trevor disappearing with Yaggis, I didn't expect that he'd be back so soon.
Christina Angel: But you DID expect him back?
Hope Mach: Of course. He's the most stubborn man in the world.
Bashin Dan: Yeah, what Hope said. Man, I wish any of us actually drove a lot.
Christina Angel: I CAN drive, but I have a really good parking space downtown, and if I move it, I'm not going to get that back.
Hope Mach: And my bike seats one. If they're still lurking around town looking for something, we'll find them. We just have to keep-
Suddenly, a figure swooped down from a building behind Hope, pulling two needles out of her hair, she jabbed them into her ears, destroying the corrective implants.
Hope Mach: AH!
The world fell silent, yet Hope could still somehow hear the laughing of her assailant, and they escaped before Dan and Christina could respond. Christina chased after the figure, as Dan cradled Hope and spoke soundless words. Hope had spent so long being able to hear again, that she couldn't quite read his lips. The panic didn't help. She shed a tear as she clutched at her ears.

Noah Jennings Office
Noah Jennings: Welcome to EBW: Xperience, it is I, the owner of EBW Noah Jennings, but you probably already knew that from all the purple I'm wearing, and of course....*sigh* my shiny dome. This is the last Xperience before the Great Eagleland Bash, where we celebrate Eagleland with an amazing night for matches, but I'm here tonight to announce that something big is happening right AFTER that too. So I guess, that my announcement is, that I'm going to be making an announcement. Huh. I didn't think this through. Gotta hype the show though right? Uh...take it away Lady M's?
Lady M's: Out of the way Jennings! I've got a job to do. So yeah, I might have got one put over on during Xcite, and SURE, I might have a new *gags* step-mother LEGALLY, but you're no family of mine Tess, and you never will be. Silver lining, the bitch and the dead beat are on honeymoon, which means we can get some real work done. Got to excuse me, as I'm a bit distracted tonight. My daughter had her hearing implants destroyed, and I'm a little PISSED OFF about it, but that's cool. It's all cool. I can be a professional. Right Lucca?
Lucca: Uh sir, I don't know if-
Lady M's: I don't know if Hope is going to be able to compete at the Great Eagleland Bash, but I do know that we still need to do something regarding her Television Championship. The #1 Contender match will go on as advertised, but if Hope can't compete, we're going to do something about that. I got plans. Trust me, I GOT PLANS!
Lucca: She does have plans. I've seen them scribbled down, next to a lot of expletives.
Lady M's: Blame the pregnancy hormones if you want, but "The Mom" is here to do her job! Tess might have married my Dad, and Hope might be in the hospital, BUT, the future is SO BRIGHT-
Lady M's placed on a pair of specially made color blind corrective glasses.
Lady M's: I've got to wear shades. Let's go Lucca!
Noah Jennings: Yeah, we've totally got our house in order. Oh, by the way, the elections for EBW President will be held in August after the next big ENN+ event so....I might have needed to START with that announcement. I'm off my game today. Let's just....let's get the show started. What Steve? I TRIED to-
Larry Grim: Welcome to Xperience, it's the not so Grim PEEPER of EBW, Larry Grim! What? Did that not work? I'm NOT grim, and I'm PEEPING EBW. Eh? I guess Noah's not the only one off his game tonight.
Makoto Angel: Don't take it so hard Larry, you're trying your best, and that's all anyone can hope for. I'm Makoto Angel, and tonight, we're in for a big night. The go home show before Great Eagleland Bash. I WON'T be going home though, because the event is in Fourside, and I don't live there. That....that was a joke too. I think this Tess thing just had us all thrown for a loop. I'm a little flustered myself because of....other reasons.
Larry Grim: Starlight Knight?
Makoto Angel: How did you-
Larry Grim: It's me. Larry. I know things. I'm trying to wink right now....but I don't have eyebrows....or skin and muscles on my face.
Makoto Angel: Right. Well, I was told he left a message for us tonight, and that's the first thing that's going to air here. So let's take a look at it.
-
Perched atop a building, with a full moon behind him, the Starlight Knight dramatically turned to the camera, his cape flapping in the breeze.
Starlight Knight: You might be wondering who I am, and what I'm doing in EBW. It's simple really. The Crystal Kingdom should be an empire, ruling this world with justice and kindness, but it's a sick, twisted, and cruel world, and the enemies of Crystal Heaven are vast. I'm here to defend the Kingdom, and do what the Star Prince has yet to do. I will do it for him. Cadmus, you wicked fiend, wanted a match against me? A wrestling match? I can do that. I can pick up what I have learned by watching the Angel Family, and I will meet you in the ring. I will do so at The Great Eagleland Bash. Justice will come for you. Makoto, if you're watching this. Just know....that I love you.
-
Makoto Angel: *gasp* *blush* I don't really know what to say. Something about him is familiar to me, but I'm a married woman, and I love my husband!
Larry Grim: It's alright to blush a bit Makoto. I wish I could. No face for it. You can't ignore the trendy turban and cape ensemble. It's a dreamy combination.
Makoto Angel: ....
Backstage
Christina Angel was standing with Nani Angel, Tracy Angel, Faris Angel, Kimber Blaze, and Lt. Lacy Wagner, as they stood opposite to Erica, Muscle Girl Security, and the Eisenritter.
Erica: Quite a group we have here "Champ". You want to turn this into a fight? We're ready if you are.
Christina Angel: Not hardly. We're here for a reason. First off, did you have anything to do with what happened to Hope? Tell the truth!
Erica: I certainly had NOTHING to do with it myself. You want to ask them, you're free to do so, but they don't have to answer you if they don't want to either. Throwing around baseless accusations is beneath you, or at least, I thought so.
Christina Angel: Baseless? You've been warring with the Machs and Angels for MONTHS! I don't trust you. Which is why I also want to know why you want an Angel to be the Special Referee for our Cage Match at Great Eagleland Bash.
Erica: I already said why. You can trust ALL the Angels to play by the rules right?
Christina Angel: ...Is that really it? I don't buy it.
Erica: You don't have to buy my sincerity. I really don't care. But, if you want the cage, you have to give me what I want. Do we have a deal?
Christina Angel: Fine. Which Angel?
Erica: That is for me to decide, but they all have that "integrity" you all love so much right? Ha!
Tracy Angel: You gave in WAY too fast on that.
Christina Angel: I did? I don't really know much about negotiation I guess.
Nani Angel: She's right though, we will be fair and honorable. Anything else, would be ammo to use against our family.
Christina Angel: Right....*sigh*
EBW: Xperience
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
ENN
1. EBW Women's Television #1 Contender: Duvalie beat BeShemoth, Kyoko the Love Shocker[x], and Eve via Rear Naked Choke -> Pin
-Opening free for all, saw four women vying for the chance at the Television Championship at GEB. Hope's condition was up in the air, but that didn't stop them from going all out regardless. BeShemoth and Eve grappled and flexed so much it brought out Apple Kid, who tried to hide in the crowd, but his stem hair made it obvious. Eve went to the outside, where BeShemoth followed with a big splash. Duvalie immediately used the opportunity to wrap the concealed cord around Kyoko's neck, and choked her out while Eve kept BeShemoth on the outside, unable to break the choke. Duvalie won the match.
Makoto Angel: She cheats again! I guess the ref had to let it go for this one? Did they even see it? Do they ever? It's such a small, almost undetectable wire, and yet she uses it with such precision. What a deadly little maid...ninja...assassin type? What IS she?
Larry Grim: She's the #1 Contender for the EBW Women's Television Championship.
Makoto Angel: ....I walked right into that one.
2. Singles: LG Rod beat Kinniku Mike via Count Out
-Another singles match with the Paradise Collection and Heel Besties, leading into their tag title bout at Great Eagleland Bash. Heel Besties have been a welcome addition back to the tag division, and were the first team to draw with the absolutely on fire Paradise Collection. A great showcase for Mike here, as he threw Rod from pillar to post with his excellent array of suplexes. Rod to his credit countered with a series of Dragon Screws, and the Legdrop Bulldog for a near fall. Mike recovered and lifted Rod for the Muscle Buster, but then he caught sight of Maurice, who stood behind Sal and threatened to kick his head off. Mike ran out of the ring to jaw jack with Maurice, getting Sal out of the way just in time. LG Rod celebrated a Count Out victory, looking relieved that it ended the way it did.
Backstage
Subculture was watching the monitor in street clothes, as Firebrand X approached.
Subculture: How about this show huh?
Firebrand X: We're not booked. Why are you here?
Subculture: My wife was busy settling business with Erica. I'm never too far away for her. Why are you here?
Firebrand X: .....I'm always here.
Subculture: You never stop creeping me out.
Firebrand X: I wanted to talk to you. You know that Cade is putting his Challenge Championship up on the line against Dan and Jammer?
Subculture: Yeah?
Firebrand X: I want you to add me to your match with Hotlanta.
Subculture: Huh...really? Why, because we're such good friends, and a big battle of ideals needs to be had in the middle of the ring?
Firebrand X: No, because I want to pin you or Hotlanta and win the Television Championship.
Subculture: Right. I knew that had to be it. We don't really care for each other do we?
Firebrand X: ....You're alright.
Subculture: I would HOPE we could at least agree on that, since we're also Team Champions and all.
Firebrand X: If Trevor doesn't come back soon, that might not be the case. I'm thinking ahead. So are you going to do it?
Subculture: Isn't another 3-Way for a belt on the same show overkill?
Firebrand X: ....I don't care?
Subculture: Right. Fine the-
Hotlanta: Absolutely NOT! I earned that shot, and I even gave someone else a go at taking it, but they couldn't! It's my shot, and I'm taking it. One-on-one!
Subculture: You sure?
Hotlanta: YES!
Subculture: Huh. Well damn Brand, I really went to bat for you there. You saw that right?
Firebrand X: ....Dibs on the winner then.
Subculture: He invoked dibs Hot. You can't deny the dibs.
Hotlanta: GAH!
3. Handicap: Bashin Dan/Jammer beat Cade via DQ
-What was supposed to be a tag match, turned into a handicap match, as Cade approached the Dan Club by himself. He demanded they attack him, but they weren't keen on the 2-on-1 scenario. Cade demanded again, but they backed down. An angered Cade grabbed a chair and smashed it into both, leaving them lying on the math.
Makoto Angel: What was THAT all about?
Larry Grim: Cade wanted to prove that we're all dark inside, by having the "heroes" blindside the villain. Dan is too pure for that though, and it infuriates Cade. He didn't give them the satisfaction of the match, but he intends to go all out at Great Eagleland Bash.
Makoto Angel: ....
Larry Grim: ....I think. That's just an educated guess really.
Backstage
Eris Angel was sitting by herself, looking like she'd rather be anywhere else, when she was suddenly approached.
Eris Angel: Huh? What do you want?
Erica: Oh there you are. I was looking everywhere for my special referee.
Eris Angel: Pardon?
Erica: Eris, I can clearly see you're unhappy with the Angels. Most can't see it, but I can. I want to offer you a way out. All you have to do, is join me. Take my side, and do what's best for both of us at the Great Eagleland Bash. If you were to "make the right call" in that cage, by hook or by crook, then you'd surely be freed from the burden of being in the Angel Family. Think about it. However, I choose you as the Special Referee. It should be an "enlightening" experience in the cage.
Eris Angel: ....
4. Singles: Maurice beat Poison Jam via Headkick x Spinebuster -> Pin
-Maurice locked horns with Poison Jam, who gave him more trouble then expected, but Maurice flew off the handle, nearly getting DQ'd in the process, but a kick to the head and a Spinebuster lead to a win for Maurice. After the match, Sal Paradise rushed out with a mic.
Sal Paradise: Did you threaten to kick my head off Maurice? Is that what I saw in that replay? What is your problem?
Maurice: My problem? You and them! It's obvious! All I sacrificed for the team, and I was cast aside AGAIN! I won't ever let that happen again. You, Amigo, and Mike, will ALWAYS remember me, because I'll never stop. I'll keep being relentless. I'll continue to come at all of you until-
Sal Paradise: Until what? You got a plan? You know what you're doing or are you just angry? You want to do something, then let's do something. You leave them alone in their title bout at Great Eagleland Bash, and I will take you on at the event.
Maurice: ...Heh...you're on. Better shake off the ring rust fast, or I'll add another concussion to your dome Paradise.
Tack Angel's Dressing Room
Tack Angel was standing around, blankly staring, when Mav Valentine entered the room.
Mav Valentine: Hey. Hey! Tack!
Tack Angel: Huh? Oh, Mav! Are you here to fight me?!
Mav Valentine: What? No! We're teaming tonight remember?
Tack Angel: ....
Mav Valentine: "Badder Dudes"? We're teaming for a no rules tag?
Tack Angel: Oh! Oh yeah. Sorry, I was....thinking about something?
Mav Valentine: Get your head in the game! I want to win this! We BOTH have problems with those two. We'll deal with them, before we deal with each other.
Tack Angel: Pretty gutsy move, assuming I would team with you, when we're going to face off at the Great Eagleland Bash. You might be underestimating me.
Mav Valentine: You gotta be bold to wear the gold.
Tack Angel: Heh....fine. I'll be ready, and then at the Great Eagleland Bash, I'll be taking back the Triple Crown.
Mav Valentine: That's what I want to hear. You'd better just...uh....put some pants on before you leave the room.
Tack Angel: What?! WHERE ARE MY PANTS?! STEEEEEVE!
5. Women's Singles: Erica beat Faris Angel via Air Raid Crash -> Pin
-Erica treated the match like a "warm up" against the Pirate Queen, which kicked Faris into another gear. She made the former champ work hard, and tried to replicate the WRIST CLUTCH of the Angel Family, but Erica blocked it and hit the Air Raid Crash for the pinfall.
Makoto Angel: No! Aww Faris, I know you tried your best. Hurry up and roll out of there! *sigh* Christina will have her work cut out for her. She's facing Erica IN A CAGE with Eris Angel as the Special Referee. It's going to be exciting.
Larry Grim: For several reasons. One of which being that Eris is desperate to be freed of her bonds, but deep down she might actually care about Tack and the family. Is she having second thoughts?
Makoto Angel: What are you talking about?
Larry Grim: Just hype. Just hyping it up.
6. No Rules Tag: Tack Angel/Mav Valentine[o] beat w00t[x]/Cadmus via Mav Buster -> Pin
-Main event time, as Tack Angel and Mav Valentine took on w00t and Cadmus in tag action with NO RULES. I mean, probably don't murder though. More like ONE RULE! w00t was busy trying to hand out campaign stickers, and nearly got his head taken off with a kick by Tack. w00t and Cadmus responded by battering the Star Prince, who seemingly had another black out. They took the fight out of the ring, where they locked him into a broom closet and locked the door. Mav was fighting the two foes on his own, using anything not bolted down to get any advantage he could. The crowd was firmly behind the young champ. Later in the match, the Starlight Knight dropped down from the ceiling and threw Cadmus into the bathroom, to brawl with him in there, while Mav and w00t battled it out in the concession area. The ally of Crystal Heaven disappeared as quickly as he appeared, leaving Mav fighting the numbers again. Finally, Tack seemed to escape the closet, but he was missing his pants again, as they fought the team back to the ring. Mav escaped a wKo and hit a Mav Buster on w00t for the 1-2-3.
Makoto Angel: Yes! Tack and Mav win! Oh, I hope Tack is alright though. Those blackouts have to be looked into, and where are his pants?!
Larry Grim: He doesn't even notice yet. He's trying to have an epic stare down with Mav as he hands him his belts, but Mav is laughing.
Makoto Angel: And now Tack notices. Sorry honey! Thank you Starlight Knight for helping and all.
Larry Grim: Hmmm....that's a whole can of worms there. We got a lot of chaos brewing as we head into the Great Eagleland Bash. We'll see you there! Specifically, everyone with an ENN+ account, which I'm fully aware of. Jake Johnson from Threed plans on pirating it though. He should probably go to the hospital that day and get checked for-
Makoto Angel: End it!

EBW World
Nerma: Well, after an insane couple of weeks, we finally find ourselves ready for The Great Eagleland Bash. We're heading for the Fourside Park to celebrate patriotism and wrestling! The red, the white, and the BOOM! We have nine big matches for you, well maybe nine, as we're not sure yet on the condition of Hope Mach. A few things have been switched around in the process. We can add Maurice vs. Sal Paradise to the card, as well as the Challenge Championship 3-Way match, with Cade defending against Dan and Jammer both. A battle of a generation really. A match that is growing in interest, to me at least, is the match between the James Sisters and Muscle Girl Security. The James Sisters invaded a show to halt the Muscle Girls' chances of winning the Women's World Tag Team Championships, claiming they didn't earn the spot. Bev and Raza responded by laying the Sisters out and putting them through tables. That lead to...THIS segment. Roll it.
Saturn City Funeral Home
Two caskets were set up in a room filled with Eisenritter, Eve and her Simps, Sylvie, and Muscle Girl Security. The familiar organ music played denoting a funeral, as Troian stepped forward, dressed a nun.
Troian: We're here today to mourn The James Sisters. They came into EBW, thinking they were going to change everything, and take the world by storm. These young women, found out the hard way, that you just can't step up to Eisenritter OR Muscle Girl Security, and expect to survive. *sniff* The hubris, it really brings a tear to my eye. Would anyone like to say anything?
Eve stood up, and pretended like it was hard to take, as Sammy the Simp allowed her to use him like a crutch to the podium.
Eve: *sniff* I can't....I just can't do this...with these heels on. Can someone take them from me?
Sammy the Simp: I WILL! I WILL! I'm gonna smell em!
Eve: That's much better. Now, this jacket is too restrictive. Who wants to hold this for me?
Sammy the Simp: I will! Just drape it over my head! It'll hide my shame.
Eve: Much much better. I know that I'm new in EBW myself, but I have two things that they didn't. I have a glorious physique, that makes me a lot money. I also have respect. Yes, it's an open secret that I am the younger sister of Erica Eisen, however, I have taken my time, to build myself up, and I respect that Erica and the Eisenritter are at the top of the pecking order. If only those damned James Sisters would have learned how things work. You don't mess with Eisenritter, and you ESPECIALLY shouldn't try to pick a fight with Tess's personal security!
Apple Kid, who was sitting in the pews behind a stoic Bev and Raza, leaned forward and popped his head in between the two of them.
Apple Kid: I'm not really sure why I'm here or what's going on, but I want to say that I a big fan of both you. You guys and Eve actually. You wouldn't mind giving me a quick flex would you? Is it a bad time? I bet it's a bad time. I'm just going to sit back down.
By this point, Duvalie was standing at the podium.
Duvalie: My mistress Erica would have been here tonight, but the James Sisters are "beneath her", so she said she had better things to do. In this case, a pedicure.
Sammy the Simp: I wonder what her foot game is like. *sniffs shoe*
Duvalie: Let this be a stark reminder of the dangers involved with this sport, and the consequences of dealing with such a close, tight knit group.
Kaie stood at the podium next, while eating a sandwich. She held up a finger, as she took another bite, and then continued to hold up the finger as she chugged a beer. She belched as she tossed the bottle into one of the caskets and sat back down, not having said a word.
Troian: That was beautiful Kaie. It really touched us all I think. Now, I think it would be appropriate for the Muscle Girls to say something, because this was all because of them after all.
Bev: ....
Raza: We don't talk. We don't have to.
Bev: Like Eve, our physiques do the talking for us. We are large, powerful women, that you do NOT want to mess with.
Raza: Jenny and Jessica James. You rode into town thinking you were more worthy than us from the beginning. You were wrong. We had no choice, but to put you down.
Bev: It was mercy killing really. We did it for your own good. Imagine what would happen if you show up to the Great Eagleland Bash. If you showed up, we would have had to put you down in Fourside, so better to just get it over with right? We saved you the embarrassment.
Raza: As sure as our muscles are tanned a oily, and if we flex, we rip straight out of these dresses, let it be known that if history repeats itself at GEB, it's going to be a LOT more painfu-
Suddenly, Lady M's kicked open the door and approached the podium with Lucca and Millie in tow.
Lady M's: Alright ladies listen up. While this skit is hilarious, and you're making a point, I have something to say. The James Sisters WILL be showing up at the Great Eagleland Bash, and I've made the match a Tables Match. Fitting right? Too on the nose? Who freaking cares. Hey, how many dresses you own Troian? Whatever, I'm out of here.
The group was a little stunned by the sudden interruption, but Troian got them back on track.
Troian: Worry not ladies, because we were already intending to come back here remember? We have more funerals to attend to. The funerals of Christina Angel and Hope Mach. Hahahaha!

Saturn City Hospital
Hope Mach lay asleep in the hospital bed, as her ears were packed with gauze to stop the bleeding. Bashin Dan was nodding off by her side, never letting go of her hand. It was then that he heard a voice in the hallway, which was easy to make out, since it was-
Gordon Cole: I FEEL BAD FOR THE HOPE GIRL, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE ATTACK WAS CONNECTED TO OUR INVESTIGATION, AT LEAST NOT ON THE SURFACE. SOMEHOW THIS IS ALL CONNECTED, BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW YET.
Mr. Face: Could you tell me and you just don't want to? Cause you do that a lot. You leave it all very vague and mysterious.
Gordon Cole: LIFE IS VAGUE AND MYSTERIOUS FACEMAN. YOU JUST HAVE TO GO WITH THE FLOW!
Mr. Face: First, we find Trevor Mach in the hospital, and now Hope Mach. It's a tough time for this family I gue-
Bashin Dan: Excuse me. You two know where Trevor Mach is?
Mr. Face: Bashin Dan? Of course you'd be here. You're with Hope Mach.
Gordon Cole: YES YOUNG MAN, WE DO KNOW WHERE TREVOR MACH IS. HE'S IN A HOSPITAL IN FOURSIDE!
Jeff Andonuts: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wait!
Mr. Face: Andonuts?
Jeff Andonuts: I heard you all the way down the hall. You said Trevor Mach is back?! So, my retrieval program DID work?!
Mr. Face: He's been in a weird stasis, but yeah, he's back.
Jeff Andonuts: We need to go see him now!
Gordon Cole: BASHIN DAN, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO JOIN US.
Bashin Dan: Thank you, but I....I need to stay here with Hope. Trevor wouldn't like it if I left his daughter alone right now. She'll be happy to know that he's back when she wakes up though. Finally, some good news.
Gordon Cole: LET'S ROCK!
Summers TV Studio
Writer Steve was in his usual corner, trying to get work done, but he had a familiar face behind him spouting off ideas.
Tack Angel: Listen Steve, I've got this show idea. Basically, it stars this young woman, but she's got HUGE boobs! I mean some serious honkers! A real set of badonkers! Packin' some dobanhonkeros. MASSIVE dohoonkabhankoloos. Big ol' tonhongerekoogers! One day, she meets another girl with even BIGGER-
Writer Steve: Tack, I feel like you're trying to annoy me on purpose here. Is this about the show? I get it, you don't like Star Prince and the Defenders of-
Tack Angel: It's not that Steve. It's about what you're doing to me. The large gaps in my memory, and the repeated times I've had to come down here and talk to you.
Writer Steve: Wait....wait what? I didn't write any of that. You're not supposed to remember coming down here.
Tack Angel: I do. I just had to get a little clever about it. I wrote myself a note!
Writer Steve: Right..and I noticed that, so then you were supposed to assume it was Producer Steve and-
Tack Angel: Stop. Whatever you're doing, trying to control this or that....just stop. Don't assume that I'm a weak minded fool. I'm a nice, jovial guy by choice, but that doesn't mean I won't eventually snap, if you keep messing with me or my family.
Writer Steve: I'm....I'm actually at a loss here. Too many things are happening that are out of my hands. I don't think I see what's happening anymore. Events have overtaken me? Heh. I did not expect that to be a consequence of the the sound.
Tack Angel: What sound?
Writer Steve: Don't worry about it. Listen, I have nothing to do with your blackouts outside of this building. I try to remain an observer while I write for a cartoon that keeps you pretty popular and wealthy, keep that in mind. You can put the pieces together here, but it's going to take some detective work. If I flat out told you, then it wouldn't be fun now would it?
Tack Angel: This isn't my kind of fun. I'm not having fun with this. I have a title match to go to, and I'm serious as a heartbeat about it. I'm going to remember you now, because I choose to not forget. You understand? Stay out of my way, and out of my life. Uh....keep up the "good" job on the show though.
Writer Steve: Before you leave, you should-
Tack Angel: What, put on pants? You think I'm not aware that I'm missing my pants AGAIN! I got a contingency! BILL! PANTS ME!
Pirate Bill: YARR!
Pirate Bill ran up from the side and tossed Tack a pair of pants. He caught them without looking, staring straight at Steve instead.
Tack Angel: Impressed?
Writer Steve: Uh....
Tack Angel: I thought so. Star Prince out.
Fourside Hospital
Trevor Mach lay in stasis on the hospital bed, like he had for the last couple of weeks. Suddenly, his eyes burst open, and he shot up in bed.
Trevor Mach: Whoa! That was a loooong nap!
Doctor Degrees was on the phone with Andonuts in the next room.
Degrees: Yeah, he's still here. He was still mumbling about about EBW and- huh? Wait, I think I heard something. Let me call you back.
Degrees went into Trevor's room, and saw him lacing up his chuck taylor all stars.
Degrees: You're awake?
Trevor Mach: 100%
Degrees: Well. You uh...you sure you're alright?
Trevor Mach: You're the Doc Doc. Check my vitals, and make sure that I'm good.
Degrees: Uh...I mean...you seem fine. I mean, let me go get my stethoscope and-
Trevor Mach: Not necessary. I've got to go.
Degrees: But wait, where are you going?
Trevor Mach: I have a note here for a man named Gordon Cole. Make sure he gets it for me alright?
Degrees: Sure.
Trevor Mach: Thanks Degrees. You've always been a bro. I won't forget your kindness and decency.
Degrees: But wait, the EBW wrestlers are coming. What about them?
Trevor Mach: I AM an EBW wrestler.
Trevor walked out of the hospital in a hurry, and made it out of sight, just as Gordon Cole, Mr. Face, and Jeff Andonuts arrived.
Gordon Cole: HOLY SMOKES! HE'S GONE.
Mr. Face: What happened?
Jeff Andonuts: Was Trevor here?
Degrees: He was, but he just left. We wanted me to give this note to Gordon Cole.
Gordon Cole: "IT'S IN OUR HOUSE NOW"
Mr. Face: ...What does that mean?
Gordon Cole I UNDERSTAND.
Degrees: You do?
Gordon Cole: IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS FOR NOW MEN. THE SITUATION IS DEVELOPING. I SUGGEST WE LET IT PLAY OUT. LET'S GO FACE.
Degrees: What just happened here?
Jeff Andonuts: I'd like to point out that my invention worked. We're underselling my genius again.
Degrees: *sigh*
Jeff Andonuts: Oh come on. You know it's true!
Trevor walked to a nearby parking garage, where he pulled the tarp off of an old Pontiac trans-am. He fired it up, and quickly made his way down the highway, smiling as the wind blew through his hair.

Tommy Dukes: Welcome to The Great Eagleland Bash! I'm Tommy Dukes, joined by-
Nerma: Nerma!
Larry Grim: Grimmy!
Makoto Angel: Makoto! *waves*
Apple Kid: Muscle Girl Secur...I mean APPLE KID!
Tommy Dukes: Yeah, we're ALL here for this one. It's a loooong announce table. Right Apple?
Apple Kid: What? I can't hear you from over there!
Tommy Dukes: Put on your headset!
Apple Kid: It's not easy getting it around the stem hair!
Tommy Dukes: Oh course.
Larry Grim: It's going to be a big night, and I know something you all don't.
Nerma: I'm not surprised about that anymore. Still confused, but not surprised.
Larry Grim: It's a good surprise, don't worry about it!
Makoto Angel: Double main event tonight, and BOTH of them involved Angels. I'm sorry if that bothers you Nerma, but I'm really excited.
Nerma: I'm rooting for Christina, I'll tell you that much. Now that my job is secure, I have no problem saying that Tess and the Eisenritter SUCK! GO CHRISTINA!
Larry Grim: They're counting on Eris wishing a return to being a Celestial will give them the advantage. What has become more important to her.
Nerma: See again, I'm confused, but not surprised. I'm not even going to question it. Just....alright. Whatever you say.
Makoto Angel: Yeah, I'm confused myself....about a lot of things, especially regarding the Starlight Knight, who will also be in action tonight. It's his debut match against Cadmus. A one-on-one match with Cadmus. Tack hasn't been able to get that for MONTHS!
Tommy Dukes: The Triple Crown World Championship is on the line in the main event, as Mav Valentine takes on Tack Angel, in his quest to beat BOTH Bad Dudes. One down, and one to go. Of course, we also have the Challenge Championship match, which is very VERY personal between Cade, Bashin Dan, and Jammer. We have the Neon Championship match. We have a decision regarding the EBW Women's Television Championship, AND we have a World Tag Team Championship match. ENDLESS TITLE MATCHES!
Nerma: Easy Tommy. We also have Sal Paradise stepping back into the ring to "placate" Maurice, and keep him away from the tag title bout. PLUS, the James Sisters take on-
Apple Kid: MUSCLE GIRL SECURITY! YEAH! It's going to be a Tables Match. Very excited for that one.
Nerma: Someone hose him down!
Tommy Dukes: It's a big night, and I can't wait!
Larry Grim: Really curious to see if Starlight Knight shows up. It'll make things interesting.
Tommy Dukes: How so?
Larry Grim: Spoilers.
Tommy Dukes: You're a real know it all buzz kill skeleton man!
Larry Grim: *sigh* Yeah, I know.
EBW: The Great Eagleland Bash
Fourside Park, Fourside
ENN+
1. Singles: Maurice beat Sal Paradise via Head Kick x Spinebuster -> Pin
-Simple opener, with a rusty Sal Paradise, putting his body on the line for his clients against the spiteful and angry Maurice. The kickboxing pro was having none of Sal's grappling attempts, and targeted his back and head, which as the areas he injured which lead to his semi-retirement. A Head Kick and a Spinebuster left Sal laid out for the 1-2-3.
Tommy Dukes: Ouch! That was not good. Maurice battered him. Keep in mind folks, this wasn't "People's Choice" Sal Paradise. This was Manager Sal Paradise, and he tried his best, but he wasn't up to it tonight.
Makoto Angel: Maurice is acting like he just beat the man at his peak though. Sal looks upset, but he did this for the Paradise Collection. Maurice got what he wanted, and now he can't interfere in the World Tag Team Championship bout. That's next by the way.
Nerma: Amigo and Mike are helping up Sal, but he's not looking happy about it. Maurice IS walking away though, laughing like a dick on the way out.
2. EBW World Tag Team Championships: Kinniku Mike(c)[o]/Amigo(c) beat Randy no Kachi/LG Rod[x] via Muscle Buster -> Pin
-Business picked up with the second bout, as the Heel Besties got their World Tag Team Championship shot. The Collection were looking for a team to give them a challenge, and that's exactly what they got. Not a long match though, as they went into finisher overdrive quickly. LG Rod went for the Legdrop Bulldog, but Mike powered up and threw Rod to the mat. He then scooped him up for the Muscle Buster. RnK tried to get in to break the pin, but Amigo swooped around him like an Amateur pro, which seems like a contradiction, and hit the Hagen Suplex as Mike scored the pin and the title defense
Tommy Dukes: That's what I'm talking about.
Larry Grim: Like I said, the Heel Besties are just going to keep getting better as they remember what it's like to be alive.
Tommy Dukes: This conversation is never going to be normal.
Larry Grim: ...It would be in Threed.
Tommy Dukes: ...Y-yeah....yeah.
Apple Kid: Those impacts made my neck, back, and stem hair hurt. We're seeing Amigo and Mike at their best. We haven't seen them this good in ages. Like....yikes for any team that goes against them. It's going to take a lot to make it happen guys. Better step up.
Once the ring was cleared, a limo pulled up outside of the park. A black carpet was rolled out as Cadmus made his way to the ring with Bellerophon on his arm.
Tommy Dukes: That's still his sister people! That hasn't changed. It never will.
Cadmus: Fourside, you're graced with my presence tonight, because I have some business to attend to. Starlight Knight, the unknown and unwanted defender of the Angel Family. You and I are set to do battle. Come out here now, and let me make you obsolete. I'm pretty sure with all the "pirates", "penguins", and "TackForce", you're the last thing the Angel Family needs or wants. They have such "AMAZING" security already. Haha!
Makoto Angel: Mrgrgrrrr! What a jerk!
Cadmus: Come on here and-
Starlight Knight: ENOUGH! Foul creature, you have plagued me long enough, and if it is a duel that you want, then you will have it!
Cadmus: Finally.
3. Singles:
-A surprising effort from the two "rivals"? as Starlight Knight made his in ring debut against a constantly improving Cadmus. A very Angel like effort from Starlight, as he CLUTCHED the WRIST and fired off heavy kicks, but he was also much more willing to high risk off the top rope. Cadmus wrestled a more subdued ground game, but was still hotdogging and grandstanding with every successful take down. They went to the outside, where Cadmus hit a boot off the apron into the guardrail, and tried to remove the Knight's mask. Starlight Knight flipped him over onto the rail and leg dropped him it. The fans were firing up for the Starlight Knight, but something suddenly happened. He looked around and quickly ran off, leaving a confused Cadmus to earn the Count Out victory. He celebrated, shrugged, and ate of the jeers of the crowd.Cadmus beat Starlight Knight via Count Out
Backstage
Starlight Knight was running quickly backstage, but he suddenly stumbled and fell at the feet of the Angel Family butler Shepard.
Shepard: Starlight Knight? Are you alright? Are you-oh....it's you.
4. EBW Women's Television Championship Decision:
The next match did not take place unfortunately. Lady M's made her way out to the ring with a title belt in hand.Duvalie declared Interim EBW Women's Television Champion!
Backstage
Ted Pettentool: Wow! EBW sure is inconceivable right?! It's wild! It's wacky! It's exciting! Tonight, the Star Prince Tack Angel will challenge for THE EBW Triple Crown World Championship! Tack, are you ready?
Tack Angel: Uh...I think? My head hurts like usual, and I feel like I was just hit by a car. I'm not feeling the best physically, and saying all of this out loud can't work against me in the SLIGHTEST! Look, I don't know what's going on with me. Maybe I need a CAT Scan. Maybe I just need to do much push ups, sit ups, and drink plenty of juice. People look at me as a joke these days, and that's fine. I'm funny sure. Haha, what a silly guy with no pants. By the way...BILL, PANTS ME!
Pirate Bill: YARR!
Tack Angel: But in reality, I've been the ACE of the place for a long time. I'm always one more away from a kick to the head or a WRIST CLUTCH, and then I have the Triple Crown once again. Mav Valentine, he's a "different kind of cat" if you catch my lingo drift meaning. He's a tough, young, hungry champion, and he's got a goal. He wants to defeat both Bad Dudes. That's always been easier said than done, and I'm going to show him that. No matter what is going on with me, I'm ready to go, and I'll never stop. Time to go and do this for the fans, for my family, and for myself.
Wayne Angel: *in the wall behind Tack* Hey hey Tack! Are ya winnin' son?
Tack Angel: Not yet Wall Dad....not yet.
Ted Pettentool: Wall Dad?
7. EBW Neon Championship: Grind(c) beat Fray Tiburon, Benjamin, Dirk Laramie, Javier Leos, Manu Kalani[x] via Rolling SSP -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-The Neon Championship was created for Neon Nights, as the studio title, but Grind has been on a mission to also make it the title for the high flying types in EBW. Luchadors, former Champions, and the Rookie Cup winner all assembled for a big spot showcase. High flying chaos all around the ring, but there was a story to be found with Javier Leos, who targeted Fray Tiburon, questioning him about the man that attacked him previously, that held a rosary similar to the good Friars. That took them out of the finish, where Benjamin was tossed up and over the ropes, taking out Dirk Laramie in the process. Grind hit the ropes and landed the Rolling SSP on Manu Kalani, after he missed a Wave Runner attempt. Grind got the pin, and defended the Neon Championship.
8. EBW Challenge Championship: Cade(c) beat Bashin Dan and Jammer[x] via Cadebreaker -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-Next match saw a very personal 3-way bout, with Cade defending against Bashin Dan and Jammer. Bashin Dan was looking disheveled from his time spent at the hospital with Hope, but tried to bring his A game. Cade prompted both men to attack him, but they kept their words and also went after each other, making it very competitive. Despite Cade's random acts of violence, it was also the most athletic match of the night, showing off the abilities of this EBW generation. Cade countered Dan with a Cadebreaker, but Dan escaped it, and lifted Cade back to his feet, transitioning into the Brave Clash, but Cade held the ropes and tossed Dan over them to the outside. Jammer missed a Slam Jam attempt on Cade, and ate a Cadebreaker not once, but twice, leading to Cade rolling him up for the pin.
Tommy Dukes: That was great, but Dan seemed to not be as into the challenge as he was leading up to it.
Larry Grim: It's a shame that they can't get along, but Cade hears the sounds and Dan doesn't. It set them on very different paths.
Tommy Dukes: Right sounds. Right. Right. Whatever.
Apple Kid: Jammer looks very upset with the loss, but Dan is trying to reassure him. Even at his lowest, he still finds time to help his friends. I doubt this is where this story ends.
9. EBW Women's World Championship Cage: Christina Angel(c) beat Erica via Moonsault -> Title Defense! Special Referee: Eris Angel
-The first of two main events saw Christina Angel defend the Women's World Championship against Erica in a Cage match with Eris Angel acting as the Special Referee. Erica immediately tried climbing the cage, but Christina pulled her down and the two threw fists and elbows. Christina tried whipping Erica into the cage, but Erica caught her and hit a Belly to Belly Suplex. She took control, grating Christina's face against the cage, and repeatedly gouging at her face. She yelled at Eris to call the match, but the hesitant Angel continued to call it down the line. Erica tied Christina up into the ropes, and argued with Eris before beginning another climb up the cage. Christina escaped the ropes and met Erica on the cage, taking her to the mat with a leg sweep type of maneuver. All throughout the brutal bout, Eris was hesitant on calling the match. A win for Erica would apparently give Eris what she wanted. Late in the match both women were at the top of the cage. Erica attempted an Air Raid Crash off the top, but luckily for Christina, it was too difficult to pull off. Christina elbowed and punched Erica, and she fell to the mat hard. Christina looked down to Eris, who yelled at her to finish it, and she would call the result! The crowd erupted into cheers as Christina looked down to the ground, but instead, she blew the roof off the building with a huge Moonsault off the top onto Erica. She barely managed to crawl back onto her for the pin attempt. 1-2-3! Christina won the Cage Match, Eris Angel called it fairly, and the Women's World Championship remains with the Angels.
Makoto Angel: YES! YES! YES! Way to go Christina! Thank you for being fair and honest Eris! That was such a good match!
Nerma: Not even mad that the Angels have so many World Championships right now. Just happy to have seen that match. Very awesome. That's why I like wrestling. Literally just remembered.
The cage was lifted, and the ring cleared for the Triple Crown World Championship match. Tack Ange made a big entrance with all the TackForce and Angel Wives except for Eris and Makoto. Makoto for obvious reasons. He seemed a littler haggard, but got himself psyched up as Mav came out to his new theme.
10. EBW Triple Crown World Championship: Mav Valentine(c) beat Tack Angel via Top Rope Mav Buster -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-Main event time 2 of 2, as Mav put the straps on the line against Tack Angel. They traded pinning combinations during the early going, but neither man could even register a one count. They traded submission and pin attempts and finally came to a stalemate and the fans fired up. They traded strangleholds until Tack Angel escaped. He sent Mav to the floor and teased a dive, but then motioned that he was too smart for that. Instead, Mav rolled back into the ring and nearly got his head kicked off by the Star Prince. Tack dominated and Mav couldn’t get away from him, but he finally fired back and got the upper hand on the floor. They went up the ramp and Mav hit a DDT. Valentine went into the ring and the fans fired up as Tack tried to recover on the ramp. Tack crawled into the ring only for Mav to toss him right back out the other side. Mav hit some light kicks to Tack's head and taunted him to get serious, before nailing him with a big kick to the chest. They traded forearms in the corner and the ref tried to break it up. Mav came out of the corner and Tack battered him with a big kick and he went down. Mav fired back with a powerslam a short time later and both men were down. Mav tried to fire up Tack even more, who went for a head kick, but Mav ducked it and hit a big DDT. Tack ducked when Mav tried to hit the Trevor Mach Knee Trigger and hit the Ushigoroshi and both men were down. A battle back to their feet saw Tack get up first and hit the Angel Driver, but he was blocked from CLUTCHING the WRIST, and only got a 2 count. Mav fought back, and the two made it to the top rope. Tack wanted to CLUTCH the WRIST for a Top Rope Heaven Driver, but Mav fought out of it and hit the Mav Buster for the 1-2-3!
Tommy Dukes: He did it! I don't believe it! Mav Valentine with the title defense, has just beaten BOTH Bad Dudes! The face of a new generation is here, and a rival for the title of ACE with Bashin Dan. Wow, what a way to end the night, with a title defense, fireworks and-
Tommy Dukes: Holy shit! It's Trevor Mach, he's back! He's back!
Trevor Mach stood on the stage and pointed at Mav, smiling, as Mav held up his titles and told him to try and take them.
Noah Jennings Office
Noah Jennings: Wow, what a show. Yes, it's me, at the end of the show, with that big announcement I promised. You didn't forget did you? I certainly didn't....haha. Anyways, now that the Great Eagleland Bash is done and dusted, it's time to hype up the next big event, and you WON'T want to miss it. We're heading back to Edo for this year's E1 Climax! Summer is JUST getting started!

Fourside Hotel
Eris was standing on top of the roof of the hotel, when Tack appeared behind her, holding a gift box in front of him.
Tack Angel: Uh...hey Eris?
Eris Angel: Huh? Oh, it's you. You alright? You seemed out of sorts last night, and you lost that match.
Tack Angel: It happens. It happens more than I'd like, but it happens. I'm just going to keep trying. Not sure why I was so off in the match though. That's not why I'm here though. I wanted to thank you Eris. You did the right thing, even though you didn't want to.
Eris Angel: Who said I didn't want to do the right thing? It's my job. It always has been. You're the one placed me in a position that makes it so hard. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate you or them. You're all wonderful, but...it's not my-
Tack Angel: I release you.
Eris Angel: What?
Tack Angel: It's finally occurring to me what really happened, and what I did to you. I can't let you be so generous and benevolent, and not give you what you want. I'm sorry that I-
Eris Angel: You idiot!
Tack Angel: Huh?
Eris Angel: What happened to putting in the effort to make me love you! It wouldn't have been so hard! I already found your idiocy charming, much to my own chagrin.
Tack Angel: I-I-I'm so confused.
Eris Angel: Heh. Of course you are. That's so you. Tack, you ever wonder why you came to me that day? That was my choice. I sort of..."scooped you up". I wanted to help you and support you. Someone who was so kind to so many, and raising kids in a loving, but unconventional family. You intrigued me. I guess you could say, I was a fan.
Tack Angel: Why are you just now telling me this?
Eris Angel: Because you big dummy, you dragged me down to live a mortal life. I'm not like Azrael. I never could. Well, I guess he's not Azrael anymore is he? He really cast it all aside to come back? Maybe....maybe someday I could.
Tack Angel: What are you saying?
Eris Angel: ...That it's not over Tack. Nothing is ever really over. For some, they reunite at the end of a normal, natural life. I can already feel myself returning to normal, and I can see it now. I can see a reunion. 300 years from now, you'll be living on the moon with an eternal being. You'll long since have lost everyone you know, and just when it looks like it's finally time for you to move on, you and I will meet again.
Tack Angel: That doesn't make any sense.
Eris Angel: I know. Isn't it wonderful. Wait, that present, was it for me?
Tack Angel: Yeah, but all things considered, maybe it wouldn't be for the best if you opened it.
Eris Angel: ....Is your junk in that box?
Tack Angel: Yeah.....yeah. I'm sorry.
Eris Angel: Ha! Never change Tack Angel.
Eris kissed him on the cheek.
Eris: We will meet again. Thank you.
Suddenly, Tack found himself alone on the roof, his memories of Eris already fading into the background. He quickly pulled out a notepad, the one which reminded him of Writer Steve, and simply wrote "Eris" on the page. Amy Angel walked up behind him.
Amy Angel: Oh Tack, there you are. We were all looking for you. We were going to celebrate with Christina. I understand if you might want to skip it thought because-
Tack Angel: What? No way. Tack Angel knows how to lose gracefully. My daughter with the big win, and that moonsault?! You better believe we're celebrating tonight. Plus, Trevor is back right? Haven't run into him yet. No, I think everything is going to be alright.
Amy Angel: That's the spirit. You know we all believe in you. Whatever is going on, with your black outs, and any time you don't feel confident about yourself and your abilities, we all support you. We all love you.
Tack Angel: That means so much to-
Amy Angel: Oooo! Is this a present? What's inside?
Tack Angel: AMY NO!
Amy Angel: OH TACK! REALLY?! COME ON!
Tack Angel: Oh boy!
Outside of the Mach Residence
Trevor Mach was running up to his family, hugging M's and Justice, as Cerberus ran up beside him for attention as well.
Trevor Mach: Guess who's back!
Lady M's: You're always full of surprises aren't you?
Trevor Mach: I try to be. Hello Justice. I missed you so much son.
Lady M's: He missed you too. Always crying. He gets being a loud mouth from you.
Trevor Mach: Yeah he does. I want to hold him in a second, but first, I need to meet someone properly.
Trevor knelt down and partially lifted up M's shirt.
Lady M's: Heh, what are you doing?
Trevor Mach: Hello little one. I'm your Dad. It's very very nice to finally meet you.
Lady M's: She's a little girl. I was thinking-
Trevor Mach: Truth?
Lady M's: ...Yeah...yeah that's right. How did you know?
Trevor Mach: I don't know. Just sort of came to me.
Lady M's: More of your "mysterious ways" huh?
Trevor Mach: No, that's done and over with. I'm just me. I have one last thing to do. One last big, important message to send out, and then I go back to just being me.
Lady M's: What was the message?
Trevor Mach: ......I don't know. I forgot.
Lady M's: You what?
Trevor Mach: Part of the process, whatever the process was. I forgot all I knew about it. I wrote down a message while it was still in my head, gave it to who needed it, and then it was gone. I'm free now. I'm free to be me. No more chains, and no more "plot destiny". I'm back, to do whatever I want, and that means being the best husband, the best father, and the best wrestler. Speaking of the father part, where is Hope, I really want to see her too.
Lady M's: ....
Trevor Mach: ....What's wrong?
Saturn City Hospital
Trevor stood with his hands on the glass separating him from the room where his daughter was asleep. Bashin Dan l sat beside her, nodding off, and holding her hand.
Degrees: He came here the moment his match was over apparently. He hasn't left her side much if he could help it.
Trevor Mach: He's....he's a good kid. I guess I was gone a little too long.
Degrees: You can't be everywhere at once. Thing happen. We're doing out best to take care of her.
Trevor Mach: What are you doing here? I left you in Fourside.
Degrees: You didn't think I'd follow? I have a lot of questions for you.
Trevor Mach: I don't have any answers. Whatever you're looking for, I gave it away. This life, the people in it, they were worth so much more.
Degrees: Alright Trevor. Well rest assured, I'm going to do my best to restore the implants. If I can't, the worst case scenario is a return to her previous condition.
Trevor Mach: ...I was learning some sign language back then...I guess I could again.
Degrees: That's the spirit.
Lady M's: Trevor, I'm sorry you had to come back to this.
Trevor Mach: It is what it is. At least she's alive and loved. Plus, that's got to be the weirdest thing that's happened right? I mean, what else could I have missed?
Lady M's: Uh....you might want to sit down.
Trevor Mach: ...Oh no.

EBW World
Nerma: Nerma here with a Post GEB edition of EBW World. What a big night wasn't it? Mav Valentine stood tall. Christina Angel flew off the Cage. The Starlight Night appeared. Duvalie was awarded the Interim Television Championship. Trevor Mach returned from his hiatus, or vacation, or whatever has doing. That and so much more. Just when you thought it was all over, Noah Jennings appeared to announce that EBW is heading back to Edo for this year's E1 Climax! The best, most prestigious tournament in all of wrestling! Edo is a country that this company has a lot of history with. The Sengoku War to unite Edo under a single banner, won't soon be forgotten, unless you've got Tack Angel dementia, then you have no idea what I'm talking about. The country has was united, but it didn't last, it never does. Conflict and separation have left the territories competing once again, but maybe, just maybe, we can get along with all of them, and not set fire to half the country....again. Hey, I can hope right? We'll get the E1 Block announcements during Xcite, which will take place in Saturn City, at the ol' home base of Renegade Arena. One week later, we'll be in Edo, which means I'll have time to find my passport. They say it's always in the last place you look, but Trevor Mach once gave me some great advice on that issue. Once you find it, always look one more place, so the people who say that are "full of shit". Glad he's back, and it looks like he might have been calling out Mav Valentine? Will we be getting a rematch between the two? Rumors are that Mav Valentine actually wants to take on the so called "Champion's E1 Challenge". That's where the current World Champion tries to win the E1 Climax. It hasn't happened yet. Someone might want to get in the way of that, and despite what twitter might tell you, it's not the Orange Man. I guess we'll find out on the next Xcite!

Summers Beach
The camera originally showed bikes and cars driving away from the beach, but it slowly panned over to a sole figure left standing in the sand, the waves crashing into her, as she slowly turned around. She cracked her tanned knuckles, as tossed off several colorful leis, except for one, that she used to tie her blonde hair back.
Sunny Malibu: Sunny Malibu is the name, and maybe you've heard of me. If you haven't, check out the resume. I spent my time in SPARKLE, and yes, I even rolled into EBW for a stint or two once before, but that was then, and this is now. I'm not just looking to have fun here. I'm looking for a fight. I want to surf the big waves. Oh, you like the analogy? Look at me, I'm not fooling around here. A bubbly personality and a winning smile might get you somewhere making movies, but this is wrestling. You need a little more, or else, like a casting couch session with Weinstein, you're gonna get fucked. There is blood in the water, and I'm the shark. If you intend on heading to Edo, and trying to leave the beach, then the bitch of the beach, will just have to come to you. Summer is just beginning, and it's going to be a "Cruel Cruel Summer".
Returning to EBW soon....Sunny Malibu!
Lady M's Office
Lady M's: What the hell was that?
Millie: Wow! She's so cool! She's got the attitude and the look! Surf's up! Right Mrs. M's?
Lady M's: Pipe down Millie!
Millie: Piping down!
Lady M's: Seriously, did I hire Sunny Malibu? When did that happen? Is it the pregnancy hormones? Does it work like that Lucca?
Lucca: I do not believe so sir.
Lady M's: I didn't think so!
Lucca: It's all legitimate though. Maybe Tess signed her. You both have to come to consensus on firings, but not hiring.
Lady M's: That's a stupid rule!
Lucca: It allowed you to hire the James Sisters.
Lady M's: That's a stupid rule when it's a surprise to me!
Lucca: Yes sir.
Millie: Well I think it's AWESOME!
Lady M's: Yeah, you seemed to be hyped up about her. Her last run with EBW was marred with injuries and a lackluster performance. I was...disappointed, because of what I could see of her in SPARKLE. If she brings it now, like she did in SPARKLE, then we have a huge talent on our hands, but if it's more of the same as last time, then I'll make her wish she didn't come back. I WANT to be wrong here. She's going to have to show me she means it.
Millie: I bet she will! I KNOW she will! She's awesome, like after you, she's like my 2nd favorite!
Lady M's: Hmmm, well I am amazing, and you have good taste with me, so that's high praise. Let's see how she does then.
Millie: YEAH!
Suddenly, Trevor walked into the room.
Trevor Mach: Wait, so this is your office?
Lady M's: Uh...yeah.
Trevor Mach: Wasn't this a brook closet?
Lady M's: ...Yeah.
Trevor Mach: And you're sharing control of the Women's Division with Tess....who is now married to your Father?
Lady M's: ....Yep.
Trevor Mach: And now you're somewhat related to Tack, who is married to Tracy, and you and Tracy-
Lady M's: Yes. Yes. Yes. *gags*
Trevor Mach: Huh...and how long was I gone again?
Lady M's: Too long for my liking, but not long enough for any of this to make sense.
Trevor Mach: Right....right. Glad to be back!

Le Saturn Restaurant
The Angel Family were all gathered around a large table, as they chowed down and celebrated the birthday of Christina Angel. Amy Angel looked shaken up and flustered as she tried to play party planner AND child wrangler.
Tack Angel: This all fantastic! Christina, are you having a nice birthday!
Christina Angel: I am. I mean...were you asking me?
Tack Angel: Huh? Well, I mean technically yes. Yes to both of you right.
Young Christina: Hehe, we have the same birthday sis!
Christina Angel: We sure do. Glad we're celebrating it together this year.
Subculture: Yeah, it's not weird or anything. I love it. I love being here.
Young Christina: Uncle Subbie looks sick.
Subculture: Please don't call me that.
Amy Angel: *sigh* Alright, so I think everyone is finally here. I wasn't expecting the TackForce, or the Pirates though.
Pirates: YARR!
Amy Angel: Yarr. Yes.
Tracy Angel: You're looking tired Amy.
Amy Angel: Well, I just finished a shift with Colt Sideiron, and then I have to drive over here to get all of this ready, so yeah, I guess I'm just finding less and less time for everything.
Tracy Angel: Eh, that's what you do though. You're the hardest working one out of all of us. I mean, it could always be worse.
Amy Angel: Yeah, I guess you're right.
Tess Rex: Hello "family"!
Tracy Angel: CASE IN POINT!
Everyone turned around quickly, and Tack spit his food, as Tess and Harley Rex walked into the establishment, surrounded by secret service.
Amy Angel: Ummm....Tack?
Tack Angel: I got this. What's going on here Tess?
Tess Rex: I got your invite silly!
Amy Angel: *sigh*
Tack Angel: Did I send that?! Did I send that?! Oh no. I forgot!
Tess Rex: Of course you did, but I didn't. We had a LOVELY conversation on the phone about it.
Tracy Angel: Seems kind of weird that you'd be here Mom, acting like everything is cool and all.
Tess Rex: It IS cool my dear daughter, who I love very much. I am here to see little Chris. Where is he?
Christina Angel: Uh....
Amy Angel: It's Christina actually.
Tess Rex: Right right, I was just kidding. Look I brought gifts and everything! Let's sit down and enjoy this dinner with my lovely extended family!
Harley Rex: Absolutely. We do this sort of thing all the time.
Makoto Angel: ....Uh...
Amy Angel: This is a disaster. Just keeps getting worse.
Tack Angel: I know what you mean. I mean, losing the the title shot was bad enough for me, but now with this going on, it's been too difficult trying to find a new Wife #7, let alone #8.#9, and #10.
Amy Angel: ....Are you....are you being serious right now?
Tack Angel: Huh?
Amy Angel: We're going through all of this stuff, and I'm over working myself, and you're fixated on more wives huh?
Tack Angel: It's...it's the plan. You understand right? Create a huge family, a vast kingdom, and-
Amy Angel: Right....right. You saying it out loud is really starting to put some things into perspective.
Tack Angel: It's not easy being the Star Prince and all. A lot of responsibilities. We can't ALL be party planners. Haha!
Amy Angel: Grrrrr....
Tack Angel: Haaa....ha?
Amy Angel: ....Tack, you know what? I want to blow off some steam. Come into the bathroom with me.
Tack Angel: ...Oh...oh yeah? But-
Amy Angel: NOW!
Tack Angel: Yes mam!
Tracy Angel: Mom, I know what you're doing here. We can see the cameras. This is a publicity stunt right? Trying to shake hands and kiss babies?
Tess Rex: Do not ruin this for me Tracy. I have a lot on my plate right now, and big plans. If you were to get in the way of any of them, I would make it very very difficult on this "family" of yours.
Tracy Angel: Speak up Mom, the camera probably didn't get that.
Tess Rex: I said, it's a joy to be around you all. I know things can get hectic at work, but family and togetherness are very very important for the Rex Family.
Tracy Angel: The Rex Family huh? You expect Ness and me to call him "Daddy"? I'll have you know that I already have TWO Dads! One is a phone, and the other one is probably in that wall over there!
Wayne Angel: *in the wall* Oh, are you talking about me? Well gosh Tracy, I too love you like family, and I truly appreciate-
Tess Rex: You're very funny Tracy! SO SO funny!
Harley Rex: Tracy, you're too old to worry about me trying to replace your Dad, but I would like to be there for you if you need me.
Tracy Angel: Uh-huh, like you're always there for the rest of your family huh? Tali, Rose Mulligan, Bloody Rose, Justice, Hope, and-
Harley Rex: Heh. I want to be there for everyone. You don't have to call me Dad, but I hope soon.....VERY soon...you'll be happy to call me Mr. President. *wink*
Tracy Angel: *shudders*
Harley Rex: You know Makoto-
Makoto Angel: Huh?
Harley Rex: My daughter and Tracy here used to be very VERY close, and now they're sis-
Tracy Angel: THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT!
In the bathroom, Tack and Amy were fooling around the bathroom stall. Amy came out with a pile of Tack's clothes.
Amy Angel: Alright Tack, is that everything?
Tack Angel: It sure is baby. I'm so ready for this.
Amy Angel: Oh me too. You put on my underwear right?
Tack Angel: Well...I mean I did....but....you're probably not going to want these back.
Amy Angel: ....Not a problem. Alright Tack, are you ready?
Tack Angel: Oh yeah!
Amy Angel: Alright! Here it comes!
Amy opened the door and tossed all of Tack's clothes in the trash.
Tack Angel: AMY?! What are you doing?
Amy Angel: It's time for a little more appreciation Tack Angel! I have been loving and loyal to you for years, and when we changed up our family dynamic, I got on board. I did all of this for you, and you STILL look by me and the others for the next "wives" to add to the collection. Time for a change "Star Prince"!
Tack Angel: Amy, I'm sorry! I was just kidding....kind of! Amy?! Amy come back! AMY!

St. Saturn's Cathedral
Fray Tiburon sat at a computer, and looked around as he made a Zoom call. Another Priest appeared on the screen.
Fray Tiburon: Excuse me, is this Father Santiago?
Father Santiago: Indeed it is. I already know who you are, I can tell by the mask. What I want to know is how you have this contact information?
Fray Tiburon: ...I'm borrowing it. It's an important matter.
Father Santiago: And you're using Zoom to discuss it?
Fray Tiburon: No one would put me through to you, and I was told I couldn't show up in person.
Father Santiago: Indeed. We have a outbreak problem down here. You know that mushroom thing? People walking into walls everywhere, it's a real mess.
Fray Tiburon: I need to know if the Church sent an attacker after Javier Leos.
Father Santiago: *sigh* The one named Kiva correct?
Fray Tiburon: Formerly.
Father Santiago: ...There is a sect within the Church that did not take kindly to his decision. A growing movement is swelling to wear the mask, and free thought is being punished. I will not lie about that. I will however disavow any knowledge of an attack being made by the Church. I will NOT tell you about a secret organization of Warrior Priests, carrying out the will of a vocal and angry minority. I will NOT remind you that a few years back you were tasked personally with training this group, but your refusal has put you in their cross hairs as well. I'm sorry I could not be more help to you.
Fray Tiburon: ...The kindness you have offered is more than enough.
Father Santiago: Your contributions over the years have allowed us to help many orphans and others in need. That is why we exist, to help people. Some have lost sight of that. I will not.
Fray Tiburon: ...Goodnight Father.
Father Santiago: Good luck Sergio.
Fray Tiburon: *nods*
Father Ignacio: Sergio, what are you doing in my office?
Fray Tiburon: I uh...I needed some answers.
Father Ignacio: You could have asked. I would have helped you.
Fray Tiburon: I didn't want to get you involved. Something strange is going on, and I need to get to the bottom of it for Javier.
Father Ignacio: You got your answers then?
Fray Tiburon: More or less. I have to know though, are you involved?
Father Ignacio: This mask fiasco is getting out of hand quite frankly. El Karen has is trying to make everyone wear masks. They want everyone to wear them now, all because one man decided not to. I'm not involved in it. However, that doesn't mean they won't ask me to assist. I will do what I have to.
Fray Tiburon: ...I understand.
Saturn City Hospital
Hope Mach slowly opened her eyes and looked around, seeing Doctor Degrees standing in the doorway, and Bashin Dan asleep beside her. As she woke up, he slowly began to wake up as well. Degrees spoke to her, but she couldn't hear a thing. She turned to Dan, who also said something she couldn't hear. Tears welled up in her eyes, as she realized that her hearing had not returned. Dan spoke to Degrees...
Bashin Dan: How is this possible? You made it work before? What changed?
Degrees: I was able to use undamaged parts in her ear to make it work. That's not going to work anymore. Whoever did this, did it very accurately. There is an experimental operation that we could try, but the risks might outweigh the rewards.
Bashin Dan: What is it going to take?
Degrees: I shouldn't have even brought it up. I can use the inner ear components of a donor to try and reconstruct the inner ear, but-
Bashin Dan: Am I a match?
Degrees: Heh...I had a feeling this was going to happen. Yes Dan, you're a match but-
Bashin Dan: Then do it.
Degrees: Dan, listen to me. You will lose your hearing! You will be deaf. Do you understand? It would be taking a problem from one person and transferring it to another.
Bashin Dan: ....You brought it up, because you knew I'd agree to it. You knew I would do whatever it takes. We both want her hearing, and smiling, and happy again. It's bold strategy, and I don't really have a deck for the situation, but I'll deal with the hand I'm dealt. Look at her. Doctor....she means everything to me.
Degrees: ....I'm a terrible doctor. We have an oath to do no harm. I sort of broke that oath as a wrestler, but here I am....doing this. I will do this, but you have to do something first. You have your back to Hope as your speaking, and you're blocking her from seeing my lips. I noticed. We have to have her consent, and good luck with that.
Bashin Dan: ...I was worried you might say that.
Le Saturn Restaurant
Jammer was walked into the bathroom to wash his hands.
Jammer: Why did I think she'd want to eat at a place like this? Let's face it Jam man, you've been out of the dating scene for a while. You need to get your head in the game and take your shot. She.....can really eat. *sigh* Alright, I-
Tack Angel: Jammer?
Jammer: God?
Tack Angel: Jammer!
Jammer: Tack? What are you doing here? I thought I saw you all take off.
Tack Angel: Oh they did....WITH MY CLOTHES!
Jammer: You....you're naked in there?
Tack Angel: ...Not exactly. I still have my socks...and some women's underw-
Jammer: Panties? You're wearing panties?
Tack Angel: If I said they felt comfortable, would that make it weird?
Jammer: Well it depends if it's silk or- wait, we're not talking about this. Do you always wear those?
Tack Angel: No....this is my first....maybe second time.
Jammer: What bad luck, losing your clothes the day you decide to wear-
Tack Angel: Not my idea! Amy made me! This was planned. That sly woman.
Jammer: Can I....can I see?
Tack Angel: What?! Why?
Jammer: Morbid curiosity? I bet it's really funny.
Tack Angel: It's really not....so no.
Jammer went to the next stall over, and stood on top on the toilet, looking down at Tack.
Jammer: Hehe.
Tack Angel: HEY!
Vape walked in and washed his hands, looking back at Jammer giggling at the stall beside him.
Vape: Uh Jammer, some people don't like that.
Jammer: It's cool, it's just Tack.
Vape: Oh...huh?
Tack Angel: Wait! I just got an idea! Guys, I need your help!
Vape and Jammer stood guard as Tack ran out of the restaurant with the stall door covering him up. He got to the greeter at the door.
Tack Angel: ....You mind opening the door for me?
Door Greeter: Uh...alright?
Tack Angel: Geez, the service here is terrible!

Renegade Arena - Parking Lot
EBW Triple Crown World Champion made his way to towards the arena, as Ted Pettentool chased after him.
Ted Pettentool: Champ! Champ! I got a question for you?
Mav Valentine: I'm sure you do, but I'm busy, so-
Ted Pettentool: Rumors are that you are receiving a challenge for the Triple Crown World Championship tonight. Another rumor is that the Trevor Mach is going to show up tonight as well. Are you putting two and two together?
Mav Valentine: ....Do you think I suck at math or something? It sure sounds like the news I've been waiting for. I had a feeling that beating the Star Prince might bring the Bad Man out of hiding. Let's just say that I hope the rumors are true. Tonight though, is not about that. It's not about the trip to Edo. It's not about the E1 Climax. It's about Intergender Warfare apparently. They've got two sides of men and women lined up for a big main event, and I intend to win, because you give guys like w00t and inch, and they'll take everything from you. This isn't faction warfare which has been prevalent throughout EBW history. This is a bunch of teams or individuals with their own goals, but it's becoming clear that lines are being drawn in the sand. EBW has a new President coming soon, and in Eagleland we have a big election coming up. The winds of change right? Like Trevor always quotes, "feel the storm? It's coming!"
Dan Club Locker Room
Dan was sitting on a bench, looking down at the floor as Jammer talked his ear off.
Jammer: Can you believe it? They left him there in her underpants! Ha! That guy, he's got it good in so many ways, but it goes to show you what can happen if you take it for granted. I'm going to keep that in mind with the James gal. She's a straight shooter, and quite frankly she's a little TOO forceful, and it's freaking me out. I've never seen a woman devour a-Dan? Dan, are you alright man?
Bashin Dan: Huh? Oh, yeah I guess. I'm just-
Jammer: I know what you are. You're way too distracted. Hope is awake right? She's deaf again, but she's alive. You said they might be able to perform a procedure to help right?
Bashin Dan: ...Yeah.
Jammer: Then you have to do HER a favor and wake the hell up buddy. If Hotlanta Powerbombs your ass into the mat, she wouldn't be happy to know it's because you're hung up on all of this.
Bashin Dan: That's....actually good advice.
Jammer: I know! I'm capable of it you know? I guess a good friend of mine rubbed off on me. I still can't dunk for shit, and I'm far away from the World Champion I used to be, but I can give advice I guess.
Bashin Dan: Aw, come on Slam Master, you're not that far off from where you were. We're both still in Challenge Championship contention and-
Jammer: No, that's all you man. I blew it. I took the pin fall. You pick up the slack, and get that win. Tonight, you've got Generator, but a win puts you back into the mix with Cade. Beat some sense into our "old buddy" and take that title back.
Bashin Dan: ...You sure? We could both-
Jammer: I'm sure. I'll find my own goals. Don't worry about it. I'm heading out. I want some nachos before my match tonight.
Jammer walked out of the room, feeling happy that he actually was able to return the favor and help Dan for a change, only to suddenly get tackled into the wall by a mysterious figure.
?: The season was cancelled, but that doesn't mean I'm done! I'm the better two sport athlete you little punk!
Lady M's Office
Lady M's was writing at her desk, when BeShemoth walked in.
BeShemoth: You called for me. Is this a bad time though?
Lady M's: Huh? Oh this? No, I'm doing a cross word. What is a 5 letter word for "Maid Assassin that probably made my daughter deaf again"?
BeShemoth: ....Bitch?
Lady M's: Bitch. Yes. That's what I thought too. Listen BeShemoth, when you came to EBW, it was to get a match with me, and get my attention. The bun in the oven is going to keep us from that match for a while, but you have my attention. You're one of the best we've got. I was looking over who I wanted to square up with said bitch Duvalie tonight. It was between you and Gold, but then something occurred to me.
BeShemoth: You're going with me because you know I'm the best?
Lady M's: No. It occurred to me that I could flip a coin. You won.
BeShemoth: Huh....no respect huh?
Lady M's: I said you were one of our best didn't I? Coming from me, that's a glowing endorsement. Do you NEED my endorsement though?
BeShemoth: I only need mine.
Lady M's: That's what I want to hear.
Tommy Dukes: Welcome back to Saturn City! We're in Renegade Arena for Xcite! We're looking at the aftermath of the Great Eagleland Bash, but we can't stop to smell the roses, they aren't in season, and I don't have any. No, we're about to leave Eagleland for Edo, the E1 Climax is fast approaching!
Nerma: True, but let's not forget that tonight, the Triple Crown World Champion Mav Valentine will not only lead a team in Intergender Warfare, with Tack Angel, TV champ Subculture, Women's World Champion Christina Angel, and the James Sisters taking on w00t, Cadmus, Maurice, Kaie, and Muscle Girl Security, but he will also be receiving his next challenge for the title. Rumors are swirling that Trevor Mach is roaming the city. Is he stopping by for that challenge?
Larry Grim: He could be. He used to be the human embodiment of death, made so by the Author to carry out his plot, but he's cast off his role as a celestial to return to his family and to do what he loves, which is fight.
Nerma: ....
Larry Grim: ...OR...maybe....he just needed some time off?
Nerma: ...*nods*
Tommy Dukes: In any case, we have so much to get to tonight, so let's do it to it and TAKE IT TO THE RING!
EBW: Xcite
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
ENN
1. Women's Singles: Alison Chains beat Eve via Backhand Wonderland x Piledriver -> Pin
-A hard hitting opener, with the once bubbly Alison Wonderland turned Alison Chains, giving the muscular Eve Eisen her toughest fight in EBW yet. Alison rode the line on another possible DQ, as she choked and clawed, but the crowd ate it up, as she wasn't even trying to hide her violent fighting style. The simps tried to get involved on the outside, but suddenly a Sunny Malibu jumped out from the crowd and attacked them, throwing them into the guard rails. She took the cash that was meant for Eve and tossed it into the crowd. Eve was distraught, giving Alison the time to set off a flurry of backhands she called the Backhand Wonderland. She scooped up Eve for the Piledriver, and somehow picked up the much taller athlete to land it and get the pinfall.
Nerma: BIG win for Alison Chains there. The younger Eisen sister and her simps were not ready for Alison Chains, and it appears that Sunny Malibu's "Cruel Cruel Summer" is beginning. Look at Alison and Sunny staring each other down. Friends or foes?
Backstage
Ted Pettentool was standing by with Tack Angel, who was sporting big shades, while wearing a turtle neck with gold chains.
Ted Pettentool: I'm here with the Star Prince Tack Angel, who seems to be sporting an....interesting new look. What's up Tack?
Tack Angel: Oh this? Just my casual wear. Nothing weird about it. The ladies love it, and by ladies, I of course mean my wives and my wives only. I truly only care about their happiness, and love them unconditionally.
Ted Pettentool: Uh...are you experiencing a crisis after losing to Mav Valentine?
Tack Angel: Me? No way...I am...I am...I am the Star Prince and...my head....
Ted Pettentool: You alright?
Tack Angel: I think I need to go sit down, but make no mistake...I'll be ready tonight...I'll be...in my locker room.
Ted Pettentool: Uh oh, it looks like the fainting spells are continuing for our favorite hero. Let's hope he's ready for the main event!
2. Non-Title Tag: Kinniku Mike/Amigo[o] beat Saxon/Novus[x] via Dead Lift Hagen Suplex -> Pin
-The Paradise Collection took on TackForce's Saxon and Novus next, in their series of non-title tag matches to find worthy contenders for the tag belts. Saxon and Novus continued to wrestle a basic but dramatic 80's style, but the lack of recent experience lead to Novus falling prey to the Dead Lift Hagen Suplex from Amigo, and the pin.
Tommy Dukes: Another big win for Amigo and Mike. They are unstoppable these days. We have Maurice watching on still. He promised to find a partner to take them on. An injured Sal Paradise is goading him into coming down for a rematch, but he's laughing it off and walking away. He's got a main event to prepare for.
3. EBW Interim Women's Television Open Challenge: Duvalie(c) beat BeShemoth via Rear Naked Choke -> Referee Stoppage -> Title Defense!
-The Interim Women's Television Open Challenge was answered by BeShemoth, who was selected by M's to take on Duvalie, beat her, and figure out the truth of the attack on Hope Mach. The tall and powerful BeShemoth tossed Duvalie around the ring, mussing up her proper look for the first time in her EBW career. She seemed to be overwhelmed, but she feigned heelish cowardice so she could find an opening for her choke with the concealed cord. BeShemoth was choked out, and the ref had to call the match.
Nerma: Dammit! Can we have like a "No Chokes" match or something? She obviously is using a concealed cord! Someone tell the refs! Are they blind?!
Larry Grim: That one is.
Nerma: Oh....oh right. *sigh* Do we HAVE to hire blind referees? It's not discrimination if they can't actually perform the job!
4. Singles: Bashin Dan beat Hotlanta via Brave Clash -> Pin
-Next match saw a fired up Bashin Dan face off with the powerhouse veteran Hotlanta. Dan was looking focused and committed, showing that signature heart in the face of the dominating Hot. An escape from the Powerbomb lead to a kick to the midsection and the Brave Clash. 1-2-3.
Tommy Dukes: Big win for Bashin Dan! Cade was even looking on watching and clutching his Challenge Championship. He's gritting his teeth, cause he can see the real fired up Bashin Dan might be coming for him next time.
5. Singles: Generator beat Jammer via Roll Up -> Pin
-Generator took on Jammer in a lackluster performance for the Slam Master. Having been attacked earlier in the night, he wasn't firing on all cylinders. The arrival of his attacker made it even worse, as Bobby Blitzworth made he return and taunted Jammer, who fell prey to a Roll Up from Generator, giving the Legion high flier the victory.
Tommy Dukes: Bobby Blitzworth!? The EFL star is back! I guess when the season was cancelled due to that mushroom thing, he needed something to do, and he's found it. The football player/wrestler has apparently challenged the basketball player/wrestler. Do we know any baseball players? I just want to make sure before I get surprised.
Larry Grim: I'm on a softball team.
Tommy Dukes: Oh yeah?
Backstage
Cadmus was leaving his locker room, with Bellerophon kissing him goodbye in a way that made everyone cringe. Like, you could hear it in the crowd. A mass gross out. As he made his way to the ring, the Starlight Knight appeared behind him.
Cadmus: You again? I thought you were dealt with already. You ran away.
Starlight Knight: I left....because I had to. I had no choice. It doesn't change my mission. I want to make it clear that I must stop you.
Cadmus: Huh...interesting. You sound desperate. Something in your voice. Makes it sound....like you're running out of time.
Starlight Knight: That's my problem, and no one else's. You however, are a problem of the Angel Family, and they must survive, and thrive, and carry out destiny. You will NOT get in the way or peace and justice.
Cadmus: You know what "Starlight Knight", I can do whatever I want. You don't seem to have the time to stop me.
Starlight Knight: ....This isn't over.
Cadmus: I think it is.
Starlight Knight: .....
6. Intergender Warfare: Mav Valentine/Tack Angel[o]/Subculture/Christina Angel/Jenny James/Jessica James beat w00t[x]/Cadmus/Maurice/Kaie/Bev/Raza via Clutch Winged Angel -> Pin
-It was now time for Intergender Warfare, as the Eisenritter, Muscle Girl Security, w00t, Cadmus, and Maurice challenged the Triple Crown Champion, Television Champion, Women's World Champion, Tack Angel, and the James Sisters. A massive, multi-person affair, that was lacking the Star Prince in the early going, giving w00t's team the advantage at the start. The James Sisters made the difference, with their brawling smash mouth style. w00t broke etiquette, and hit Jessica James with the wKo, garnering massive heat with the crowd. Fans were eating up the James Sister offense though, and the downright cute way that Subculture would hesitate to tag in his wife, until she dragged him into the corner to make him. Finally, Tack Angel limped to the ring, shaking his head and stumbling about. He hit the ring hard though, knocking Cadmus and Maurice out of the ring with swift kicks, before hitting the head kick to w00t, and the Clutch Winged Angel. The sudden addition was all that Mav's team needed for the big win.
Tommy Dukes: Tack Angel with the save! A big win, and even Mav Valentine is offering a handshake there. That's what sportsmanship. Big win for our heroes. w00t's group seems livid, as Mav is having a good laugh about it. w00t is murmuring something about having the last laugh. Huh, wonder what that means? Well, that was a hectic and fun main event but-
Larry Grim: He's here.
Tommy Dukes: Huh? Who?
Larry Grim: Give it 10 more seconds.
Tommy Dukes: How would you-
Trevor Mach was then seen walked his way through the backstage area. With his dog in tow, he walked by a lot of the talent as he made his way to the ring.
Trevor Mach: Awwwoooo! That's a welcome back howl from the War Wolf to all of you! It's great to be back. Probably didn't feel all that long for you, but it felt a lot longer for me. That's all done and dusted though. I'm back, doing what I love. I'm here, not because I have to be. Not because I'm being forced to. I'm here to wrestle, because I choose to wrestle. What's EBW without the Bad Man eh? So, with that sentimental shit out of the way, I'm here to make an announcement. I-
Mav Valentine: Let me stop you right there "Bad Man". Welcome back for starters. I didn't want to believe that you ran off because I beat you. I have to know what was so important that you left?
Trevor Mach: You want to know? Frankly, it's not that big of a deal anymore.
Mav Valentine: What?
Trevor Mach: Nope! Not important! THIS is important. Here and now. My family is important. This sport is important. The past is the past.
Mav Valentine: This coming from the guy living in the 80's.
Trevor Mach: You can't fix what ain't broken kid.
Mav Valentine: Alright, so you don't want to tell me. That's fine. You do you. However, if you want another shot at the titles, you have to throw down the challenge. I'm more than happy to prove myself against another "Bad Dude". So come right out and just-
Trevor Mach: Challenge you? Ha! You think that's why I'm here? I mean sure, eventually I WILL get back to you Champ, but that's not why I'm here tonight. I'm here to throw the ol' hat into the E1 Climax! I'm here to announce that not only will I win the tournament, but I be known as "Mr. E1" when I do, because no one has won the most prestigious in wrestling more than me. Yeah, I'm calling my shot. I'm gutsy like that.
Mav Valentine: I'm confused then. I was told that not only were you coming here tonight, but that I would be challenged for my title.
Trevor Mach: Oh, you're most certainly being challenged, but not by me. See, you did something few in this life could ever do. You beat both Bad Dudes, and while we're only talking one match a piece here, it's still something you need to remember and value for the rest of your life. It won't happen again. HOWEVER, you're not the FIRST to do it.
Mav Valentine: Huh?
Swift made his way out of the entrance to a huge entrance. Mach leaned back in the corner as Swift rushed into the ring, rubbing his forehead against the ropes, he then walked right up into Mav Valentine's face, and pointed at the Triple Crown.
Tommy Dukes: Swift is back! He's looking in incredible shape! The recovery must be complete, and he's ready to return to prominence. He's the most decorated 4-Crown King in EBW, and he's back to claim the Triple Crown. This could turn out to be the biggest challenge for Mav Valentine yet!
