Picky Minch: If he wants a fight, he's going to get one. I've already taught him a lesson once. Sometimes, the stubborn ones need to be taught again.

-

Trevor Mach: Picky kicked my ass? Sure, he won that fight. He won ONE fight. I won't act like it didn't happen. I always knew he was that good. I'd say he was that good all the time. He was the one who never jumped on it.

-

Picky Minch: He spent years looking down on me. He treated me like a joke, like his little buddy. Now, he has to look up to me, holding this Challenge Championship.

-

Trevor Mach: I want the belt back Picky, but it's more than that. I hear you want to teach me a lesson? I got a couple lessons of my own. Here's a big one for you. Fighting me, is more than just surviving in the ring. As long as I'm breathing, you'll still be fighting me. Especially, when you pick bad friends like w00t.  Another lesson, but this one goes out to my daughter Hope Mach. We get beaten. We fall down. It happens. We always get back up. It's what us Machs do. You inspire me to stand. Everyday. Picky, I'll see you on the street...kid.





Tommy Dukes: Welcome to Mad Gear Bar in Saturn City for MFC 2! This is going to be a big one folks! We're going to see the Challenge Championship on the line in the main event! It's going to be in a Street Fight....that's ACTUALLY IN THE STREETS! President Swift authorized what would have been an unsanctioned fight, which would have meant that it never happened....except that it would have happened....even if unsanctioned technically means it doesn't happen. Don't worry about it! It's sanctioned! Minch and Mach, those psychopaths, signed waivers, so even if they aren't cleared to go, they're still going to do this. I hope the stitches hold boys! This is going to be wild!

Apple Kid: It starts wild too, because Subculture and Maurice are going to duke it out in a Strikes Only match, with the loser being the first one to be taken off his feet. That means you can't spare a single punch, kick, or headbutt! Any strike could be the one that takes you out of the match. Subculture was trained in boxing by Little Mac, while Maurice refined his kick boxing in Euroland and Edo, before coming back to EBW. It could go either way.

Tommy Dukes: Wow Apple, you seem to be in the right frame of mind today. Much like your old self.

Apple Kid: It was weird right? Like I was a character being written out of character or something. It's all good now. Back to my genius self. Plus, I have a date this week.

Tommy Dukes: WHAAAAT?!

EBW Gaiden: Maelstrom Fight Club: MFC 2
Mad Gear Bar, Saturn City
ENN

1. First Takedown Strikes Only: Subculture beat Maurice (R2 2:58) via KO Punch -> TKO
-A brutal way to open the show, as Subculture and Maurice went against the strategy of picking their spots, and just went all out with their hard hitting blows. They managed to make it into the second round, and nearly the third, before a KO Punch from Subculture knocked Maurice down with seconds before the bell.

Tommy Dukes: That's a win for Subculture! That's a good showcase for him. He'll be going against Cadmus at the "Winter is Cold" edition of Xcite, in a No Rules match, so it's good to see him in top form before that match.

Apple Kid: The form of his face might not be "top" heading into that match. Maurice left him with a few lumps I'd say. Here comes wife Christina Angel with the ice pack. You don't see it much on television, because they managed to hide from the Lakitus, but they are a very close couple.

Tommy Dukes: Despite Tack Angel's objections?

Apple Kid: Despite Tack Angel's objections.

2. Singles Bushido Rules: Hazen beat Bobby Blitzworth (R1 1:40) via Ground and Pound -> TKO Stoppage
-Hazen was flanked by two men in matches jackets, all of which barred the flags of Euroland, as he stepped into the ring with Bobby Blitzworth. The show boating of Blitzworth and shilling of Arliss, did little to help the QB in the match, as Hazen battered Blitzworth, and scored a TKO victory after a Ground and Pound Stoppage.

Tommy Dukes: Hazen with another big win. Who are those guys with him? They seem to be representing Euroland, and what better way then taking out that brash symbol of Eagleland culture. However, we're still #1.

Apple Kid: Where'd you get that little Eagleland flag.

Tommy Dukes: I always keep one on hand so I can POPOPOP about the country I live in.

Apple Kid: Yeah alright.

3. Women's Singles Bushido Rules: Kimber Blaze beat Lainey Strong (R2 2:36) via Eagleland Rack -> Submission
-Kimber Blaze and Lainey Strong locked up in a Bushido Rules match that seemed play a lot more into traditional Wrestling rules, especially with the trash talk, as Lainey Strong demanded to know why Kimber and Jane had pulled that stunt with the petition. Late into Round 2, Kimber ducked a punch from Mayor Strong's daughter, and hoisted her up for the Eagleland Rack. She had no choice, but to tap out.

Tommy Dukes: Kimber with the win there. That's a big one for her, as she seemingly felt she needed to make some sort of impact to get noticed. She's surely noticed now.

Apple Kid: Kimber is wearing an Eagleland flag top and bottom. You going to POPOPOP over that?

Tommy Dukes: Only in my pants. Do NOT tell my wife I just said that!

Apple Kid: This is feeling more normal already.

Tommy Dukes: Kimber is grabbing a mic.

Kimber Blaze: You all boo me, but you don't understand what I really did or why I did it. I was trapped down the card because of nepotism, and it was never ending nepotism. The Angels got a free pass on everything, while I worked my ass off to make a name for myself. I'm a proud patriot, and in my Eagleland, the hard workers get elevated. All I wanted was my chance, and my shot. I can't tell you why Calamity Jane signed it, or why any of the others did, but I'm willing to bet they'll all tell you the same thing. We just-

Tommy Dukes: Here comes Christina Angel! She's running into the ring. Security is keeping them separated. She wants to fight her here and now? Better be careful Christina, you've got a World Championship match with Erica coming up, and you don't even know the stipulation yet.

4. First Takedown No Strikes: Firebrand X beat Aron Vayne (R3 1:01) via Spinebuster -> Takedown
-In a reverse from the first match of the show, Firebrand X took on Judoka Aron Vayne in a No Strikes First Takedown Match. X wanted the match after the Draw with Vayne on Xperience, and the rising star was more than willing to oblige. A much slower paced match, with everyone on edge as the veteran and rookie felt each other out. Several grapple attempts lead to close calls, but they used their surroundings to their advantage, the five layer ropes making it easy to find something to grab onto. Early in the 3rd Round, X went straight up "rasslin", and changed his game, hitting a straight up Spinebuster to get the Takedown win.

Tommy Dukes: Not a bad transition there. It looked like Vayne might get the throw, but X switched it up. He is the master of hybrid styles. He's always been able to match just about anyone at whatever they wanted to throw at him. If I were Benjamin or the Challenge Champion I'd watch out, because X is looking for that gateway back to a Triple Crown Championship shot.

Apple Kid: Aron Vayne seems to be a good sport. He's fist bumping X, but he doesn't look happy about the loss.

Tommy Dukes: It's his first in EBW, but that's what happens when you get the attention of a man like Firebrand X. We now take you outside, to the junkyard behind the Mad Gear Bar. In fact, I think it's President Swift's Grand Dad's junk yard. This is starting to make more sense now.

The cameras cut to outside, where a large group were cheering in a junkyard. Picky Minch stood in a open area surrounding by a circle of flaming barrels. Mach came riding down a fiery trail into the junk yard. Both men were looking battered and beaten, but fired up.

Picky Minch: I knew you'd show up. It's a stupid move, but I knew you'd do it.

Trevor Mach: Stupid was making this shit personal Picky.

Picky Minch: Let me guess. You don't want to punch to the face?

Trevor Mach: Oh hell no, I'll be aiming for your face specifically kid.

Picky Minch: Stop calling me kid!

Trevor Mach: Make me.

5. EBW Challenge Championship Street Fight:

Trevor Mach beat Picky Minch(c) via Knee Trigger -> 10 Count -> NEW EBW Challenge Champion!

Tack was still working around in the ring, when a familiar figure limped in.

Trevor Mach: Love what you've done with the place.

Tack Angel: Trevor? Hey man, you haven't been around lately have you? Made some changes.

Trevor Mach: I'll say. The Bad Dudes Dojo not good enough for you anymore eh?

Tack Angel: You know that's not the case. I just want to train close to home, so I can be around the family as much as possible.

Trevor Mach: To be sure. To be sure.

Tack Angel: Plus, it looks like we're diverging down different paths again.

Trevor Mach: Why do you say that?

Tack Angel: You with the Bushido Mission. In case you forgot, I'm more of an entertainment styled wrestler. We had like this whole big blow up about it once.

Trevor Mach: ....Oh yeah! Ha! That did happen didn't it? Whatever dude, it's no big deal. I was right then, and I'm right now, so it's all good.

Tack Angel: ....Uh-huh. We're just going to have to agree to disagree.

Trevor Mach: I don't agree to that.

Tack Angel: I saw what happened with Picky. How are you doing?

Trevor Mach: Never better. Can't you tell?

Tack Angel: Nice eye patch. Snag it from Pirate Bill?

Trevor Mach: This? No, it's mine actually. I messed my eye up something fierce. No biggie ziggy, I'll walk it off.

Tack Angel: You CAN take some time off you know.

Trevor Mach: Oh tell me about it. I think I earned a lifetime off, but I'll stick to a week off. I want to be at this "Winter is Cold" event.

Tack Angel: Did Picky ask for another match?

Trevor Mach: Something like that. It's going to be a gas. Well brah, I was just checking in, so I'm going to start heading to Onett. Don't over do it. I hear those Coal Miner's Gloves are a real bitch.

Tack Angel: Hey Trevor?

Trevor Mach: Yeah.

Tack Angel: Do you...uh...ever....see other versions of yourself...just kind of show up....and then disappear.

Trevor Mach: ....You on drugs? Whatever it is, I'd like some please.

Tack Angel: Huh...maybe I was hallucinating. I was dehydrated after all. I was starting to think Writer Steve had something to do with it?

Trevor Mach: Who?

Tack Angel: This guy that used to write for my cartoon before it got thankfully cancelled. I think he's more than meets the eye and-uh Trevor? You all right?

Trevor Mach: Headache...bright flashes. It's passing. That was weird!

Tack Angel: You sure you're not concussed?

Trevor Mach: I'm totally not! It's weird right? I got a hard head. Adios!

Tack Angel: Huh...wonder what that was all about?





Tommy Dukes: Welcome to Onett! We're in the home of EBW Legend Ness, and Picky Minch for Xcite! This is going to be a big one folks. We're a week away from "Winter is Cold", but tonight, we're going to see a Television Championship bout between Benjamin, the "Mystic Bout Machine", and Fray Tiburon. The Angels will be in action as well, when Christina, Chrissy, and a partner of their choosing. Our main event will see Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan teaming with Jammer against #1 Contender Cade and w00t.

Nerma: Of course, we have our Dark Matches on ENN+, that you really should just have right now. I mean, I know that we have nothing but streaming services now, but ours is pretty cheap, and....well....we're not shit. Magnum PT wins again, with a huge win over a huge man in Vape. I'm happy to see PT is back in top form. Dirk Laramie and Danny Leung tried to break their losing streaks, well Dirk did, but they somehow fought to a Time Limit Draw. Calamity Jane plastered Gold with a Lariat to win her match. Jane and Blaze both have wins now that they have broken their tag teams and revealed that they signed that petition to get rid of the Angel wives. Here's Christina Angel right now!

Christina Angel: Give me the mic! Calamity Jane! You better just keep walking to the back! If you get near me, I'm going to kick your head off! People have been asking me how I feel about all of this. I want to thank the James Sisters for shining a light on things for starters, and I hope they kick your asses. I have business with Eisenritter, and I'm not done with them by a long shot, but Jane, Blaze, and anyone else that comes after my family, are going to get what's coming to them. That's a promise!

Nerma: Well, she certainly said her peace there, but it was far from peaceful. We have a big show, and we-

Mav Valentine: Hey guys. How's it going?

Tommy Dukes: Mav? Mav Valentine, what are you doing here? Aren't you still injured?

Mav Valentine: A little injury isn't going to stop me from showing up here. I love this place. I love this company. Am I upset that I lost the Triple Crown World Championship? Absolutely. It hurts me to say it. It hurts that it's a reality, but Bashin Dan was the better man. I'm here to watch the show, take it in with you guys, and give myself a reminder of what I need, and what I want. Besides, I got to keep an eye on the referees, and learn how to do my job for "Winter is Cold". Awesome name by the way. Love it. It's not weird or anything!

Tommy Dukes: Well, it's great to be joined by the illustrious Mav Valentine. You certainly cemented your place in the company, and you're a prime candidate for the Wrestler of Year Tacky Awards.

Mav Valentine: The what now?

Tommy Dukes: The Tacky Awards! At the end of the year, the "Academy of Tacks and Sciences" has the Tacky Awards, and they will be given out at next week's "Winter is Cold" event! It's really shaping up to be the biggest night, in the history of our sport, for shows in December, with the tag line of "Winter is Cold". We're going to start off this week's Xcite, with a big debut apparently. A new fearsome foursome are hitting the scene? I haven't been told much, but we're in for a treat. Oh, some new info as they're ready to come out.




Tommy Dukes: It appears that Hazen, our powerful newcomer has arranged for some fellow wrestlers from Euroland to join him over here. It's those two guys that were his corner men at the Maelstrom event. Wait, what's this? Golvoth is with them? He's left the Might Gallery to join this new foursome. I'm intrigued by what we're going to see. Sit back and enjoy the show people! LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING!

EBW: Xcite
Iwata Memorial Arena, Onett
ENN

0. Dark Match Singles: Magnum PT beat Vape via Mustache Ride -> Pin
0. Dark Match Singles "King of Losing Streaks": Dirk Laramie vs. Danny Leung ended in a Time Limit Draw
0. Dark Match Women's Singles: Calamity Jane beat Gold via Lariat -> Pin
1. 8-Man Tag: Hazen[o]/Ilya Fedorovich[Debut]/Radzi Schrieffer[Debut]/Golvoth beat Chad Salad/Robert Sandwich/Misogynist Paul/Sammy the Simp[x] via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin
-Hazen's new group of Euroland talent absolutely destroyed the Heat Parade. The one known as Ilya Fedorovich was an intense powerhouse, as he ran through the team. The other man named Radzi Schrieffer took Chad Salad to the ground with his shoot abilities, and ground pounded the perpetual loser. Hazen smashed the Simp with a Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver for the pin and the decisive win.

Tommy Dukes: Wow. They are GOOD! That's a step above most of the action we see in EBW period. Straight up Euroland style, something we don't get a lot of. The group is heading to the back, and it looks like Hazen has something to say.



Hazen: Words rarely have meaning, when strength, endurance, and will power are what change the world. It's time to change the world, the world of wrestling. For too long, the wrestlers of Euroland have proven that they are the very best. Incredible talent. Incredible will. While clowns like Tack Angel, Bashin Dan, Trevor Mach, Mav Valentine, Jammer, and Benjamin make a mockery of the sport we live and die for, we've been in Euroland, honoring it. Honoring competition. Now, it's time for war. We declare war on the mediocre wrestling in EBW, and all of Eagleland. We are superior, and will show you. To my left is Golvoth, a man of amazing strength and power. He opened the door. To my right is Ilya Fedorovich, from the frozen land of Zamora, Ilya has fought the harsh cold his whole life, before moving to Hagen to train with Carl Glotch, yes, the God of Wrestling himself. He embodies Euroland Strong Style. To his right is Radzi Schrieffer, another student of Glotch, like myself. He went into MMA, and decided that the blurred lines in EBW, opened a door to prove his superiority in two sports. We....are the "War Kings", and EBW has been put on notice. Bashin Dan, we'll come for you. Trevor Mach, we'll definitely wipe that smirk off your face. w00t, you and your ilk are not safe either. You will all fear the "War Kings".

2. Tag: Cadmus[o]/Maurice beat Randy no Kachi[x]/LG Rod via Dark Star Cutter -> Pin
-An exciting tag battle, with Maurice looking to fight off his recent losses, by kicking the heads off the Heel Besties. Cadmus wanted a win himself after being locked out of his chance to fight Tack again, and in a battle of Cutters, he prevailed over RnK, with the Dark Star Cutter. 1-2-3.

Cadmus: You see that? I'll decimate your TackForce Tack. I'll take out anything close to you that isn't considered "family". I have a plan. I have a plan that's going to work. This isn't over. You're not through with me yet. We'll have a decisive battle. Just you wait and see. Just keep watching Tack. Keep your eyes on those you hold dear, because I found.....the loophole.

3. 6-Woman Tag: Christina Angel/Chrissy Angel/Hope Mach[o] beat Erica/Sunny Malibu/Duvalie[x] via Olympic Slam -> Pin
-A big surprise on the show saw Hope Mach make her return to fight with the Angel Sisters against Eisenritter. Sunny Malibu was caught off guard by Hope, and had to quickly escape and tag out to Erica. Christina blind tagged in and rushed the ring, and most of the match seemed to follow this theme, with Eisenritter underestimating the ferocity of their competition. Late in the match, Hope was in with Sunny again, and in a moment of panic, tagged out to the unready Duvalie, who was quickly hit with the Olympic Slam and pinned.

Tommy Dukes: Wow! A great win there! You can see Duvalie looks upset, but Erica is telling her to calm down. She's stopping a potential fight here. Now she's grabbing a mic.

Erica: Well, we didn't see that one coming. I'll admit it. You're all fired up, and that confuses me, because we have all the gold. Duvalie, that was a smart move by Sunny. We're protecting Sunny, because we need to be at our peak to vanquish these peasants once and for all.

Duvalie: Yes....yes of course Mistress.

Sunny Malibu: It was a spur of the moment decision, and I'm sorry about that, but Hope Mach, you're NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! How many times do I have to hurt you?! Look at my lips and-

Hope Mach pulled out a device, which she put on her ear, and grabbed a mic.

Hope Mach: I don't need to read your lips! I can hear you....loud and clear. You weren't ready, because you didn't expect me to get back up, but Machs ALWAYS get back up. We'll die first, and THEN we can quit. We're not done. We're far from done.

Erica: She'll hurt you again, and Christina, our long rivalry needs to be put to rest. I bet you want to know the stipulation for our match. You want to know how I'm going to beat you to defend my title. I said I'd tell you tonight, but you know what? I don't feel like it anymore. This lack of respect to your Golden Goddess has insulted me. I will let you know how we're doing this at "Winter is Cold". Deal with it.

Eisenritter quickly left as the Angels and Hope Mach celebrated in the ring. Then, the theme for Trevor Mach played, as the Challenge Champion limped onto the stage.

Trevor Mach: Hope? You can hear me? I'm glad. I'm proud of you girl. Damn proud. We stand tall. Always. I don't want to steal your thunder, I just wanted to tell you how proud I am. They wanted to give me a little television time, but right now, I'd rather get everyone to give you hand. I love you Hope. More than anything in this world.

Hope Mach: Dad, I really appreciate it, but you're embarrassing me, especially after the rush of adrenaline from kicking Sunny's ass!

Trevor Mach: Isn't that what Dads do though? I just felt you needed to know, and I wanted everyone to know, that I'm a proud Papa. That's all that-

Suddenly, Picky Minch appeared on the big screen, covered in as many bandages as Mach.

Picky Minch: You think you can just move on from this? You go out there and tell Hope you're proud of her? Sweet. Real sweet. Why wouldn't you be? That's NOT the POINT! I fought for years to get that win, and then you try and take it away from me, because I couldn't get up in 10 seconds? Those 10 seconds are NOT going to define me.

Trevor Mach: I figured you'd want another shot at me, because I sure as hell want another shot at you. I'd say let's kill each other, but I don't want to leave my daughter without a Dad, so let's get as close to it while still breathing instead how about that? Another Last Man Fighting Match? Another 10 seconds to haunt you kid?

Picky Minch: STOP....calling me kid. I have a better idea. Next week, as "Winter is Cold", we'll face off in a "I Kneel" match. It's not I Quit, because that's too easy. I want you to have to kneel before me. The big disgrace. The loser kneels, and the winner takes the Challenge Championship?

Trevor Mach: Ha! I like the way that you think. It'll be easier for you to kneel. You're closer to the ground anyways short guy. You want it. then you've got it. I-

Hope Mach: Picky, why are you doing this? You were like family!

Picky Minch: This is between me and your Dad Hope. I don't want to drag you into this. I'm NOT a bad person, but until I beat this jerk again, and force him out once and for all, I'll never have my closure.

Trevor Mach: I'm in your head rent free kid. That's not my fault, that's yours. Hope, I'm sorry baby, but he broke those bonds when he stabbed me in the back. Live by the sword, die by the sword. You know how it goes. The "Bushido Renegade" is going to make you kneel kid. Boosh!

Backstage

Lady M's was watching the scene play out at an awkward angle.

Lady M's: ...What the hell am I doing?

She adjusted the television to look directly at it.

Lady M's: That's much better. How did I end up with such a great family.

?: How indeed.

Lady M's: That can't be who I think it is.

Harley Rex: Indeed it is my daughter.

Lady M's: The hell are you doing here?

Harley Rex: Just checking in on my wonderful wife. She should've been First Lady you know.

Lady M's: Yeah, that's a real shame.

Harley Rex: *sigh* I know you had a part to play in that.

Lady M's: I was pretty obviously proud about it. Didn't try to hide it at all. I wanted you to know.

Harley Rex: You hinder your father, and you're here hindering your Mother in la-

Lady M's: Don't finish that. She's nothing to me.

Harley Rex: This isn't the first time you've been a spoiled brat. I find it endearing. Reminds me of Bloody Rose. Her stubbornness was a turn on. I'm guessing Mach sees it the same way, which is why you're carrying one of his mistakes.

Lady M's: Don't you DARE talk about my daughter like that.

Harley Rex: Whoa! Alright, so I struck a nerve. Tali, I'm only going to tell you this once. You get one warning, because I am your father. Your pregnancy is almost over, and when you're no longer carrying a child, all bets will be off between you and Tess. I won't get in the way. I won't try to stop what's coming at all. I have my own plans. Your best bet is to just walk away, and enjoy your family time.

Lady M's: Were you watching the product? Machs don't back down.

Harley Rex: Heh..."Machs" huh? You'll always be a Rex. Well, at least I can say I tried.

Lady M's: Wait. What are you planning?

Harley Rex: Why....to be the best Mayor Summers has ever had of course. I'm already doing that. However, I might have other opportunities coming my way. Big things could be happening. Like that one time you stopped me and the IronBloods from our plans with that particular "entity" you might remember. Except this time, you won't be able to stop me.

Lady M's: Wait! You remember that now? How long have you remembered that?!

Harley Rex: Don't worry about it. It's all in the past. It's a whole new chapter for us, where I'll reach my ambitions finally, and you'll either rise or fall based on your decisions. Your biker old man is really making something of himself isn't he? *wink*

Lady M's: *sigh* The hell is going on around here?

4. EBW Television Championship: Benjamin(c) beat Los Tiburon via Excalibur -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-Benjamin's first defense came with a harsh challenge from Los Tiburon. The man who plays the kindly Cleric in Level Up, unleashed the full on grapple bastard in this bout. Benjamin tried a Spear, but Tiburon caught him and transitioned into a Brainbuster for a nearfall. The "Mystic Bout Machine" started to get fired up, and landed a Spear, but Tiburon wouldn't stay down. Benjamin had to rely on his new finisher, the Excalibur to keep the good Friar down.

Mav Valentine: That Benjmain. I can attest to his ability. He's one of the best in this ring.

Tommy Dukes: High praise.

Mav Valentine: Almost as good as me....almost.

Tommy Dukes: Right. He's really coming into his own, and this win really solidifies that it wasn't a fluke, and that Benjamin deserves the spot. But wait a minute, here comes Firebrand X. He's standing on the stage and making it clear that he wants another shot at Benjamin. Are we going to see a one-on-one contest?

5. Tag: w00t/Cade[o] beat Bashin Dan[x]/Jammer via Cadebreaker -> Pin
-Main event time, as Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan and Jammer battled w00t and #1 Contender Cade. This match had Mav Valentine's complete attention, as the two teams went all out. w00t worked over both Dan Club members and wKo'd them both, then covered Jammer for a near fall. w00t went for a suplex on Dan, but the Champ slipped out and then shoved w00t through the ropes, demanding Cade get into the ring. Cade tagged in and went for a springboard move, but Dan moved and then followed up with a kick and a brainbuster. Dan set Cade up for the Brave Clash, but w00t hit him in the back of the head, which allowed Cade to counter with a Cadebreaker. He covered Dan, as w00t took his foot off the ropes for a 1-2-3.

Tommy Dukes: Garbage! w00t cheats again. Why am I not surpri-where are you going Mav?

Mav Valentine: That's enough for this shit!

Nerma: There he goes! He's got his crutch, and he's going after Cade! He's attacking the #1 Contender! Getting some revenge from the attack that put him in this state! Dan is even trying to call him off. Folks, this is our Special Referee for the title match! All three of these men will share the ring next week for "Winter is Cold"!

Tack stood proudly in his gym, as he confidently threw his arm sling into the trash.

Tack Angel: Haha! I don't need THAT anymore! But then again, I do like to recycle things, and you new know. Yeah, I'd better just get that out of there.

Wayne Angel: *in the wall* Son? Is your shoulder doing better?

Tack Angel: Much better Dad! Thanks for asking!

Wayne Angel: *in the wall* That's great. Gosh, I was so worried about you.

Tack Angel: I don't need you to worry about me, cause I'm all right.

Wayne Angel: *in the wall* I LOVE Billy Joel!

Tack Angel: Huh?

Wayne Angel: *in the wall* Never mind. I got to talk to you about something.

Tack Angel: Can it wait Pops? I have a day to spend with the wives and kids before I get back on the road, and I don't want to waste it.

Wayne Angel: *in the wall* Now wait son. Son? Oh dear. I was in Cadmus's wall. That mean fella's got a good plan. *sigh*




The Angel Family all skipped hand in hand in the park. The line of some many women, children, and Pirate Bill for some reason, was so long, that it blocked off everyone trying to get around them. A cyclist wasn't paying much attention, and got himself necked with an inadvertent clothesline.

Tack Angel: Holy shit!

Makoto Angel: Language!

Tracy Angel: Haha! He should've worn a helmet huh?

Faris Angel: Tracy!

Tracy Angel: What?

Tack and the kids that could walk were all jumping around in the park splash pad, as jets of water randomly fired up into the air. Partially robotic daughters weren't able to join in. Tack, trying to cheer up his daughter, made funny faces, and she started to laugh, but not because of Tack. The water jet behind him launched Helios up in the air, and he had to make a dive to catch her.

Tack Angel: WHOA! Maybe turn down the intensity of those jets! Glad I wasn't standing over that thing!

Tracy Angel: That was some awesome air time for Helios!

Iroha Angel: Tracy!

Tracy Angel: What?!

Later, a group of guys surrounded Chrissy, and hit on her making her uncomfortable. Nani rushed over, and proceeded to beat them senseless.

Amy Angel: Nani! Wait! We're a cop! We can't have you assaulting civilians!

Tracy Angel: They shouldn't have messed with our Chrissy with our resident psycho in tow.

Nani Angel: ....

Tracy Angel: Alright, now I understand the look THIS TIME!

Later later, Tack and Makoto were holding a jump rope, and swinging it for Tracy to skip. They started going too fast and Tracy tripped, falling on her stomach.

Makoto Angel: Oops! I guess we get to laugh this time Tracy! Right Tack? Tack, what are you doing with the jump rope? Why are you tying her hands behind her back? Now her feet? This looks...uh...provocative. *blush* How do you know how to do that?!

Later later later, as the sun was setting on the fun family day, Tack noticed Subculture and Christina were also in the park, walking hand in hand.

Tack Angel: Daughter....and subwhatever....come hang out with the family!

Christina Angel: No can do Dad. I don't get to spend much time with this lunkhead, when I'm not full of anger and vengeance these days, so I'm going to use the time.

Subculture: Yeah, and besides, I'm not your family! Stop trying to include me!

Tack Angel: We love ya Sub-in-law!

Tracy Angel: Sub-in-law? Haha!

Subculture: Grrrrrr!

Subculture started flipping of Tack behind Christina's back, and Tack smiled as he reciprocated the middle finger.

Tracy Angel: You owned the little punk. Haha!

Tack Angel: You're just a real pot stirrer today Tracy!

Tracy Angel: At least I didn't tie YOU UP BDSM STYLE WITH JUMP ROPE!

Tack Angel: I have compulsions!

Tracy Angel: Well I never said to untie me either!

Tack Angel: HUH?!

[At this point, if you're still listening to the awesome works of Billy Joel, I'm going to need you to turn it off. I know, it's really good, and probably the only thing that's made me feel mellow today, but for the narrative effect. Please and thank you. No wait....not please. Just do it...or don't read. I don't care. Yes I do. No I don't. I'm tired.]

As night finally arrived, the family loaded up into the Angel Express.

Amy Angel: Good timing. We believe it's about to rain. We used to be able to sense it from our second brain, but the humanoid lifeform doesn't have one of those.

Tack Angel: Uh-huh. You're kind of a weirdo sometimes, but I love you Amy. I'd say don't ever change, but you literally change at least 108 times a day. Wait, I think we're forgetting something.

Faris Angel: You're right. We didn't grab up the jump rope.

Tack Angel: Huh....I'm really going to want that.

Tracy Angel: Yeah you are.

Tack Angel: I'll be right back. Driver, give me a few minutes.

Penguin: Qua!

Tack Angel: No, you DON'T have better things to do.

Penguin: Qua.

Tack Angel: And your wife gets all those nice things because you get paid....paid to drive....even though you can't. Why is he driving again?

Pirate Bill: Yarr...I be drinkin' too much my Captain.

Tack Angel: Right. Right. I'll be back.

As Tack walked through the park looking for the jump rope, it began to rain. He found it under a tree, but someone else was there, leaning against the tree.

Tack Angel: It's crazy out here right? This rain came out of nowhere!

?: The real storm is coming.

Tack Angel: Huh?

?: I wanted to stop it. I wanted to change things, so that it never happened. I tried to hold off the inevitable, but I got caught up in it. Way too much. I thought, since I stayed behind, I'd have control. They still managed to reach me, and take it from me....or maybe it was him.

Tack Angel: Steve? Is that you?

Mr. 2020: That's Mr. 2020. It's my penance remember? I get all the problems heaped onto me, because I tried to play God.

Tack Angel: You did....didn't you?

Mr. 2020: You remember.

Tack Angel: I remember, because you're not able to make me forget anymore.

Mr. 2020: The laugh track. I think that's when it happened. When I went overboard. I just wanted it to be funny. I wanted to write you the way I wanted you to be, but it wasn't you. It was too far from the Tack Angel everyone grew to love.

Tack Angel: Are you saying you were pulling my strings?

Mr. 2020: Not always. Just....pushing you in the right direction. I mean be honest, would the Tack Angel of 10 years ago married a whole bunch of women? No, he was loyal to one, and one only. However, you liked the idea, but only if all parties involved liked it too. That's when I set to work on you. Before that, I was just writing what I saw. Then I started writing what I knew WOULD happen. THEN....I got out my eraser....and I made some rewrites. I don't have that power anymore.

Tack Angel: Good. I don't know why you ever had it to begin with.

Mr. 2020: It was you. You're responsible.

Tack Angel: Me?

Mr. 2020: Your Sanctum Ultimatum. The key event that started everything. Maybe I should have just erased it, but it set about every event since. It's just going to keep happening. This world, is just going to keep changing, and growing. Growing and changing. I wanted to keep status quo. I LIKED IT! I liked you as the Star Prince. I even wrote the cartoon, because it was FUNNY to me!

Tack Angel: That's cruel, and I don't appreciate it. Don't ever try to control my life again. Funny? This is my life. I get the feeling you don't value us that much, or you see us as small toys to play with, but we're not. We have lives!

Mr. 2020: Tell me about it. It couldn't be stopped. Depending on the perception, this is more real than the Meta now. Heh. Fear not Pushpin Seraphim, the Author smiles upon you. 

Tack Angel: I'm sorry what?

Mr. 2020: Oh, I can't tell you anymore, unless you ask the right questions. I'm already saying too much. Who knows what they'll do to me now. Then again, maybe they'll do nothing. Maybe it's not them that's done this to me.

Tack Angel: Look, I'm not clueless. The fog has lifted. I remember everything. I remember my Sanctum experience. I remember the end of the Multiverse, the invasion of "Entity V", and the trip to 1992 to stop it all from happening again and more.

Mr. 2020: Do you like knowing all this stuff? Does it make your life better knowing that countless lives were wiped out, in the ultimate cosmic downsizing? I tried to take away the pain, so the story could continue uninterrupted! I wasn't like Eris! I didn't put myself in the story, not much anyways.

Tack Angel: Eris...

No matter my intentions, or if I was right or wrong, I have been left.....just like all of you. Well, maybe not JUST like all of you. I still see so much, but I have no ability to change it, or prevent the storm. The concept of true evil Tack, it's-AH! I've got to go! I've got to go!

Tack Angel: Wait! Come back! Steve!

Outside of Fourside Mall

Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here! Before the show gets underway, I've been told to come out here for some reason. Apparently, a very angry individual is on the way? Not sure what that means, but when President Swift says to do something you-

Suddenly, a Prius pulled up, with an angry Trevor Mach limping out of it. He quickly stopped, and went back to the car to grab his cane.

Trevor Mach: Worst Uber drive ever Jerry! You suck, and your car sucks! Grow some balls, and buy a car with a pair while you're at it! You wait here!

Makoto Angel: Trevor? What are you doing here? Why did you take an Uber?

Trevor Mach: Because SOMEONE decided to make things REALLY personal! You can come after me, and you can take my body apart! That's fine! That's what we both signed up for! That's the life we live! You go after my car....MY CAR! My sweet baby "Rossa", that I was going to hand down to Justice one day, then you've crossed a line. I have a few ideas who did it too. I found THIS in wreckage!

Trevor held up a charred "Bushido Mission" t-shirt.

Trevor Mach: Oh trust me Picky, you little bastard, I WILL rebuild that car, even if it takes me 15 years! They won't be able to rebuild your face when I'm done kicking it in! Makoto, look into my....one good eye.

Makoto Angel: Yes?

Trevor quickly walked over to the Uber, and opened the trunk. He slapped on his cowboy hat, and pulled out a piece of his charred Testarossa.

Trevor Mach: That trunk space is ridiculous, but you're still not getting a good review Jerry! You can go now! Makoto, you tell him I'm coming, and I'm bringing hell and "Rossa" with me!

Makoto Angel: ....I'm sure he got the message.





Larry Grim: Welcome to Xperience everyone! We're in the Fourside Mall for another night of exciting matches! We're on the way to "Winter is Cold"! It's so cold, that I can feel it in my bones! So...I can feel it everywhere. I'm a skeleton man!

Makoto Angel: You sure are. I'm Makoto Angel, and we've got a great show tonight. You can already tell it's going to be something, when you've got Trevor Mach pulling up in a Uber Prius, with a chip on his shoulder! We already had our Dark Matches, which you can see on ENN+. Magnum PT pulled off something of an upset against Frya Tiburon, who looked very distracted didn't he?

Larry Grim: He's really occupied with his other work outside of the ring.

Makoto Angel: Is being a Friar that rough?

Larry Grim: He's found himself putting in overtime. Let's put it that way.

Makoto Angel: Huh. Well, the other match saw winner finally determined int he battle of the loser streaks. The match between Dirk Laramie and Danny Leung had a winner. It was.......Mr. NO PUSH himself! Danny Leung won, but only when the two collided head first, and Danny just happened to fall after Dirk, leading to the 1-2-3. The lamest way a winner could win if their ever was one. Dirk looked distraught. I think the "Man with the Panel Van" is having a meltdown. We have so much ahead of us though, and it's going to be a fun night. The main event will be Jammer vs. #1 Contender Cade, and Bashin Dan, our Triple Crown World Champion, will be the Special Referee.

Backstage

Ted Pettentool: Hey everybody, it's the Ted-ster here, with my brand new prosthetic foot! Yeah, they had to amputate the other one, but it's cool, cause this has got all the autographs of the EBW talent on it, so that's great. It's....totally....better than having my actual foot. Hey, good news though, cause I started getting feeling back in my fingers, so the neck is healing up nicely....again. Yes, I DID get hit by a car, but the lawsuit settlement got this fancy wheelchair! Look! It's got a horn! *honk honk*

Cade: .....

Ted Pettentool: Uh...I'm joined by Cade and-

Dae Montell: Let me take care of this. Just wheel on away Ted. You're not getting injured in this segment, and it's boring me.

Ted Pettentool: Well, I mean I might! Stay tuned am I ri-

Cade: LEAVE!

Ted Pettentool: Right!

Dae Montell: This is my client Cade. Your next Triple Crown World Champion. He doesn't to have a lot to say, because he listens. He listens to his gut, and now, he listens to the "Enticing Sound", and that makes him very very smart if I do say so myself.

Cade: I don't just listen. I watch too. I've seen you training Dan. I get what happened before. I lost, because you found a few new tricks. I'm ready this time. In a fair, one-on-one contest, I will humiliate you, and give you another embarrassing title run. The World gets behind you, and you let them down again. You're no ACE, and you never will be. However, is it going to be fair? Mav is-

Bashin Dan: Hey, let me stop you right there Cade. If you want to talk, I'm right here.

Cade: Ah, the Special Referee himself.

Bashin Dan: I want Mav Valentine to call it down the line. He's got beef with you, and for good reason, but if he tries to cheat you, then I'm not going to roll with it. I don't do that. I don't fight that way. I conquer my challenges with my own will, and my own two hands.

Dae Montell: Talk is cheap Dan. Deep down, we're all hypocrites. You and Hope rebuffed my offer before, but I feel like if you were in the position Cade is in, you're be more than happy to have my services. It was your loss, and his gain. You know what's worth more than talk? Greed. Desire. Knowing you don't have to follow the rules to get what you want. We'll see if you can understand that better after the match tonight. In the meantime, we'll see one of two things happen at "Winter is Cold". Either, Mav Valentine will be "honorable", and raise the hand of the new Champ, which will make him look weak and pathetic in the eyes of many, or he'll cheat, Cade WILL get another shot, and he WILL win that one, but Mav will have lost the respect he craved and the credibility he "earned".

Bashin Dan: You're talking two scenarios, but how about this one. I play fair tonight, and I respect that Jammer will give his best, and expect me to count the pin if he loses, and that's a BIG if. Then, at "Winter is Cold", I will beat you cleanly, and Mav will count the pin, and then, when he's ready, he'll get the rematch he DESERVES, and you'll have to earn another shot down the line. Seems far more likely to me.

Dae Montell: Careful, confidence leads to the pride before the fall.

Bashin Dan: I have confidence AND humility. I know that Cade is great, but with you, I get the feeling he's lesser than, and that's sad. My friend deserves better.

Cade: Do I? I think you're going to get what you deserve. So is Jammer. All of Dan Club deserves what you've got coming.

Bashin Dan: Stop. Keep it right here. Look in my eyes, and focus your hate here. Don't take it out on our friends.

Cade: THEY'RE NOT MY FRIENDS! I HATE YOU ALL! Stop ignoring that! Stop acting like it's not happening! I know you forgot that night with Death but-

Bashin Dan: I remember Cade. I remember everything.

Cade: How?

Dae Montell: This is derailing the conversa-

Bashin Dan: I don't know, but one day I woke up, and it was all there. I also remember the day you were willing to sacrifice yourself for me, for Hope, for OUR friends. FOR EVERYONE! THAT IS WHY-

Dae Montell: We're done here. Cade, let's be on our way.

Cade: .....Right. I can't even hear you anymore Dan. Your words are meaningless.

Bashin Dan: ....

w00t's Dressing Room

Maurice and w00t had to hold back a livid Picky Minch.

w00t: Whoa! Hold on! Think clearly here!

Picky Minch: I AM thinking clearly! He wants to blame me for this! I didn't do that! I wouldn't! I don't have to! I can fight him on my own terms! I'm not going to blow up his car, and possibly KILL SOMEONE! IF HE WANTS A FIGHT I'LL GIVE IT TO HIM!

w00t: Save it for next week! Save it! You have a chance to make Trevor Mach KNEEL! That's HUGE! That's the biggest win we could hope for! I want that more than anything. Don't you?

Picky Minch: ...You know I do.

w00t: Then calm down. Take a deep breath. I know you didn't do it.

Picky Minch: How do you know? Did YOU do it?!

w00t: Let's not start throwing around accusations Picky.

Picky Minch: Whatever. I'm going to go meet him. It's my choice!

w00t: *sigh*

Maurice: You didn't exactly deny that just now.

w00t: Oh I didn't?

Maurice: He's head strong and stubborn, but I think that could work in our favor too.

w00t: He IS breaking Mach down, even at the cost of his own well being. Something's got to be said about that.

Maurice: That Plan B you were working on....how is that coming along?

w00t: Don't worry about it too much. You just keep throwing kicks, and knocking people out. You and Cadmus beating the Wrecking Crew tonight might get us that title rematch, and taking those belts back from President Swift's boys will make things better for all of us. Just know, that Plan B is even better than Plan A in my opinion. Doing all that research on the life and times of Trevor Mach has paid off. At this rate, he'll get what he wants.

Maurice: And what's that?

w00t: He'd rather burn out than fade away. He'll get his chance.

EBW: Xperience

0. Dark Match Singles "Must be a Winner": Danny Leung beat Dirk Laramie via hand draped over Dirk -> Pin 
0. Dark Match Singles: Magnum PT beat Fray Tiburon via Magnum Bomb -> Pin
1. 8-Man Tag: Hazen/Ilya Fedorovich[o]/Radzi Schrieffer/Golvoth beat Saxon/Novus[x]/LG Rod/Randy no Kachi via T-Bone Suplex x Jumping Yakuza Kick -> Pin
-The collective from Euroland known as the "War Kings" engaged the TackForce, in their second match as a unit. The basics of Saxon and Novus, and the flashiness of the Heel Besties were no match for the brute force power and determination of Hazen's group. The newcomer Ilya Fedorovich smashed Novus with a T-Bone Suplex, before hitting a Jumping Yakuza Kick for the pin.

Larry Grim: These guys are looking phenomenal. I've never seen a group debut so strongly like this. Hazen continues to be undefeated, and we've got the roster already looking closely at Ilya and Radzi. You can see in the back, the talent are glued to the televisions. Wait...Chad Salad is literally glued to one. How did that happen? Even I don't know that!

Backstage

Makoto Angel: Hey fans, it's my honor to be here with President Swift, who has a big announcement to make!

President Swift: I do have an announcement to make, it could be a big game changer. I'm going to make this big announcement at "Winter is Cold", so you'll definitely want to watch for that.

Makoto Angel: So....your announcement....is that you're going to make an announcement?

President Swift: ....Tack and I are on good terms again, so I'm going to cut you a break on that one Makoto.

Makoto Angel: But-

President Swift: I MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON MY OWN TIME! >:C

Makoto Angel: YES SIR!

2. Women's Singles: Eve vs. BeShemoth ended in a No Contest
-A frantic clash between two of the roster's buffer ladies. For once, Apple Kid was nowhere to be seen, leaving Sammy the Simp as the only one trying to get a look at Eve's pit game. As the two locked up in a back and forth test of strength, a larger brunette in a blue jacket ran in and smashed their heads together, ending the match in a No Contest.

Makoto Angel: Whoa! Who is that girl! She's definitely a different kind of woman from Eve and BeShemoth. They are ripped, and she's....she's.....

Larry Grim: THIIIIIIICK!

Makoto Angel: Larry?

Larry Grim: What? Sorry! I got caught up for a moment. Having no skin, fat, or muscle myself, I have a sickness for the thickness.

Makoto Angel: Well, that's fine, but who in the world is she, and why did she interrupt that match? It certainly doesn't put her with Eisenritter. Hmmm.

3. Women's Tag: Kimber Blaze/Calamity Jane[o] beat Jenny James[x]/Jessica James via Lariat -> Pin
-In a brawl type tag match, Blaze and Jane joined forces for the first time to take on the James Sisters, the duo that called them to reveal themselves in the first place. While not as experienced as a team, both of them brought a lot to the table. Still, Jenny and Jessica James seemed to have the match locked down. Suddenly Lt. Lacy Wagner and Lainey Strong ran out. They both looked confused as they stared down Blaze and Jane. The James Sisters tried to get to them to back down, but that opened up Jenny to eating a Lariat in the confusion. Jane rolled her up for the quick win. After the match, Blaze and Jane ran away from the ring laughing, as Strong and Wagner tried apologizing to the James Sisters, nearly leading to another brawl right then and there.

Makoto Angel: It looks like Strong and Wagner both had the same idea, but didn't expect they'd spring the trap at the same time? They're not flowing with a common purpose like Blaze and Jane were. That's why they got the win. They took the opportunity. Wagner and Strong both need to shake this off and learn to stand strong in my opinion.

4. Non-Title Tag: Maurice/Cadmus[o] beat Kinniku Mike[x]/Amigo via Dark Star Cutter -> Pin
-w00t stood by as Maurice and Cadmus took on the Weekend Wrecking Crew, but the advantage of that reunion gave them Magnum PT to keep an eye of the master mind on the outside. Another big tag explosion between Mike, Amigo, and Maurice, who brought the Dark Star Emperor to the dance this time, who was showing less theatrics in the ring, and getting more serious ahead of his bout with Subculture. However, this didn't stop Bellerophon from making an appearance. The sister of Cadmus got on the ring apron and danced seductively for Mike. He started to Cha-Cha with her, but Amigo jumped into the ring and stood in the way, threatening to push her off the side of the ring. In the fracas, the Crew got distracted too much, with Cadmus snaking the Dark Star Cutter on Mike. Amigo was on the outside chasing off Bellerophon, and at a cutter himself in the form of w00t's wKo. 1-2-3, and w00t's team won the match.

Larry Grim: We're seeing a lot of antics out here tonight, and it's hurting certain teams. The best tag team in EBW history is Mike and Amigo in my opinion, but they continue to be plagued by whatever Maurice throws at them. This will definitely lead to a title match with the Weekend Wrecking Crew. The only question is when.

5. Singles: Cade beat Jammer via Inverted Face Lock Clutch -> Referee Stoppage Special Referee: Bashin Dan
-Main event time, as Jammer and Cade fought a real banger, with the Triple Crown World Champion as the Special Referee. Jammer made it clear he wanted the match called fairly, and Dan gave his word, calling it right down the line. Jammer threw Cade to the corner, and tried a running dropkick, but he missed, and smashed into the turnbuckle awkwardly. Cade used that, and fought a more ground based match then we're used to from him. The message was clear, that whatever Dan was learning, he could learn too. He continuously worked over Jammer's neck, before trapping him in an Inverted Face Lock Clutch. Dan had to stand by as a laughing Cade told him to call a stoppage. Jammer screamed, and fought, but he was unable to loosen the hold or reach the ropes. Dan eventually had no choice, but to call a stoppage. Cade with the big win.

Larry Grim: That couldn't have been easy for the Champ, but he called it right. He did the right thing. Jammer fought hard, but that lock was just too much. An Inverted Face Lock Clutch, after working over the neck. Cade is adding depth to his game, and if he traps Dan in that, he might be done for.

Makoto Angel: There is Mav Valentine. He's watching. He's standing by, and he's clapping, but will he make the same decision? Is he going to call it fairly, or will he go after Cade, the man that extended his time on the injured list? We'll see you soon for Level Up Wrestling Chapter 3, and then "Winter is Cold"!

Backstage

Picky Minch was looking around with a chair in hand. He went into a darkened hallway, following a sound. He looked around, when suddenly, Trevor rushed out of the shadows, and smashed the bumper of his Testarossa into his throat.

Trevor Mach: Looking for me? Funny, I was looking for you.

Picky Minch: G-get that off my-my throat! *cough cough*

Trevor Mach: Why would I do that after what you've done? You blew up "Rossa", and you made me come here tonight in a PRIUS! You've gone too damn far!

Picky Minch: I didn't blow up your car!

Trevor Mach: You dickhead liar!

Picky Minch: I didn't do it!

Trevor Mach: You're going to have to try harder than that.

Picky Minch: I DIDN'T DO IT!

Trevor Mach: ....Better.

Trevor backed off a little, and tossed "Rossa's" bumper to the side.

Picky Minch: You believe me?

Trevor Mach: I don't know, but the way we've been fighting, I'd figure you'd take credit for this. You either did it, and you're a dick less liar, or you didn't, and you're just a dick.

Picky Minch: I'm not sorry it happened, and I'm more upset that you would immediately assume it was me!

Trevor Mach: I found your shirt!

Picky Minch: Anyone can buy those! You just assume that I'm trash, because I'm standing up against you! You want to frame me as the villain here! You're the egotist! You're the problem! Someone blowing up your car happened, because all you do is piss everyone off, and step on anyone that tries to be your friend!

Trevor Mach: Wrong! I had your back dammit! The only one that puts you beneath me is YOU! You did it to your damn self, and I'm not sorry for anything! No more of this bullshit. We'll get in the ring about it, and we'll settle it there. When the bell rings, that mat is going to expose every lie, and confirm every truth. That's what matters, but if I find out you had ANYTHING to do with what happened to my car-

Picky Minch: IT'S JUST A CAR!

Trevor Mach: IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE CAR! What IF I had my SON WITH ME! MY SON PICKY! YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT! YOU SHORT SIGHTED PRICK! What about my son huh? I care about my family, and I considered you part of that once, but you decided you'd rather not have one. Now, you're just like every other Minch huh?

Picky Minch: I'm not like them. I'll never be like them. I don't want your family to hurt. I don't ever want them to hurt. Just you.....just you. I'm going to make you kneel.

Trevor Mach: Better bring a gun then.

Picky Minch: ....

Tack Angel was hyping himself to step through the doorway that inexplicably turned him 8-bit, when Faris, Andonuts, Tiburon, Face, and Cole approached.

Tack Angel: Whoa! It's not what you think! I didn't do it!

Faris Angel: Didn't do what Tack?

Tack Angel: I don't know. I just see people running up to me like that and I assume you think I did something.

Fray Tiburon: We just have a question for you.

Tack Angel: Oh. Well why didn't you say so?

Jeff Andonuts: Tack, do you know who the "punished writer" is?

Tack Angel: Well that could be any writer. They drink too much and beat their wives. Am I right?

Faris Angel: Think Tack. Please.

Gordon Cole: IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO US!

Mr. Face: Jeff and Cole both received a message from someone named "Eris", and you might not-

Tack Angel: Eris? You spoke to her?

Faris Angel: You DO remember.

Tack Angel: Wait...do you?

Faris Angel: Yes, and I've got to say Tack, you really marry too much.

Tack Angel: You know I hear that a lot, and I've got to say I disagree, but I respect your opinion and love you regardless.

Faris Angel: Uh-huh.

Tack Angel: Eris asked about a "punished author". Yeah actually, I know exactly who you're looking for then.

Jeff Andonuts: Alright!

Tack Angel: His name is Steve!

Jeff Andonuts: Fantastic!

Tack Angel: I have no idea where he is.

Jeff Andonuts: Less than great!

Tack Angel: Last time I saw him, was in the park. He was trying to tell me something, but then he looked like he was in pain and ran off.

Gordon Cole: MR. ANGEL, ALLOW ME TO EXTEND YOU THE GLAD HAND. YOU'VE BEEN MOST HELPFUL! I WILL REMEMBER YOUR KINDNESS AND DECENCY!

Tack Angel: ...He knows I can hear him right?

Mr. Face: We'll follow up on this, and get back to you if we need anything.

Tack Angel: Hold it. Some of you need to stick around. We've got a show tonight, and we're a little short handed.

Faris Angel: I don't know, am I allowed, or will they throw a fit?

Tack Angel: I get the feeling the Eisenritter don't care about this show. I do though, which is why I'm getting back into the ring tonight. Trevor's not. He's in bad shape, and I think he's in his garage with what's left of his car.

Faris Angel: Then I'm in.

Pirate Bill: YARR! I BE JOININ' YE THEN!

Faris Angel: Bill? Where did you come from?

Pirate Bill: TackForce is ALWAYS around.

Tack Angel: Spooky!

Fray Tiburon: Of course I will do my part. This show contains Dogma, and I want to assist with that. It is my Church that decided to craft this problem, much to my dismay.

Jeff Andonuts: Why are you looking at me? I'm retired. I'm absolutely NOT doing this. NO WAY!





Apple Kid: Welcome again travelers, to Chapter 3 of our tale! The evil Dogma continues to rule with an iron fist, but heroes are rising up to face the challenge. In tonight's tale, we have new faces appearing, and new threats on the horizon. Let us open the book and begin. The Cleric Tiburon, seeking to continue the fight against Dogma, enlisted the help of a very grumpy Engineer to help him out...

EBW Gaiden: Level Up Wrestling "Chapter 3"
Studio B, Saturn City
ENN

1. Tag: Cleric Tiburon/Engineer Jeff Andonuts[o] beat Dogma Priest #2/Dogma Priest #3[x] via Sky Runner -> Pin
-Jeff's in ring return, saw he and Tiburon demolish the competiton. Jeff hadn't missed a beat, but part of that might have come from his mechanical leg, which gave him that extra edge. He went off the top rope with a Sky Runner followed by the pin.

Apple Kid: Indeed, the Engineer had the skill, and with the help of his inventiveness, he prevailed with the Cleric. Seriously though, he kicked him with a metal leg. That had to hurt. Ouch. The realm was in turmoil, and that gave rise to opportunity for the Pirates who saw blood in the water. Pirate Queen Faris and her most trust Pirate Bill came ashore to explore the situation. It was there that they found a random encounter with more Dogma Priests. These guys are coming out of the woodwork.

2. "Raise the Black Flag" Mixed Tag: Pirate Queen Faris/Pirate Bill[o] beat Dogma Priest #34/Dogma Priest #41[x] via Walk the Plank Elbow -> Pin
-Faris and Bill were another pair capable of battering the inexperienced and green Dogma Priests. What they had in numbers, they lacked in skill, and that allowed Faris to bash #41 with the Time Fire Kick, tagging in Bill to hit the Walk the Plank Elbow for the pin and the win.

Apple Kid: Some in other realms would refer to the last two battles as "squash matches" so thankfully, in this realm, the villagers appear to be mostly children happy to see the heroes winning. The pixelated kung fu hero Black Belt Tack was dealing with his own problems. With Magical Trevor fighting off injury and the destruction of his...uh...air ship, Tack was alone as he stood up to the next Dogma challenge. However, his challenge would be something of a throwback for EBW...if this was EBW...it's Level Up. Tack would have to face recent Dogma convert Dogma Mole #3

Black Belt Tack: OH COME ON!

3. Singles: Black Belt Tack beat Dogma Mole #3 via Count Out
-The Black Belt's first match back from injury saw him taking on a very large foe in Dogma Mole #3? Why #3? Because he claimed to be the third best Mole out of all the Moles that converted to Dogma. In fact all 5 of them claim to be #3. Tack managed to land a kick that sent the Mole to the outside, and he argued with his fellow Moles about which one was truly #3, leading to a Count Out.

Apple Kid: Uh...what a win? The Black Belt prevailed again, thanks to a kerfuffle on the outside among the Mole converts to Dogma. Lucky break for one of our heroes. The village was still in major trouble however, as the Dogma Emperor lead his top Priest and an new "initiate" to battle against WoL Benjamin, Hero Dan, and Mage Hope!

4. "Mystic Mixed Tag": WoL Benjamin[o]/Hero Dan/Mage Hope beat Dogma Emperor/Dogma Priest #1/Dogma Initiate Laramie[x] via Excalibur -> Pin
-The new initiate turned out to be a distraught "Bandit" Laramie, who wished to turn around his fortunes by aligning with Dogma. He turned out to be the weak link. A strong line up of WoL Benjamin, Hero Dan, and Hope Mach worked over the opposition, with the exception of Dogma Emperor, who allowed his lackeys to do the heavy lifting. Laramie was put down with the Excalibur for the pin.

Apple Kid: Another victory for our heroes! Dogma was humiliated on this day, but the Emperor was left unscathed, and still in possession of the crown jewel, the Final Boss Championship. I don't think Initiate Laramie is going to have a long future in Dogma. In fact....yep....he's getting kicked out right now. Hilarious. Be sure to join us next time travelers, as we embark onto Chapter 4. Who knows what adventures await us next? Not me. Look....this book is blank. I mean....magically concealed! Yeah!
