Tack and Iroha were seen in the master bedroom of Crystal Heaven, getting more intimate with each other because of her return. Tack because of the emotional drop and Iroha because of how long she's been gone (to her), both are leaning against each other on the bed shoulder to shoulder.
Iroha Angel: I missed you so much.
Tack Angel: I missed you too, relatively.
Both sat in silence for a while, just taking the moment in. Iroha breaks the silence but sitting up and grabbing Tack's hand, placing it on her now muscle ripped stomach.
Iroha Angel: How are the kids?
Tack Angel: Still a little in shock for the older ones to see Mommy Iroha after what happened, but the smaller ones seem the same.
Iroha Angel: I never meant for my exit to be traumatizing.
Tack Angel: I think if you were gone longer, it would have changed things more. So I'm glad that wasn't the case.
Iroha rubs Tack's hand along her stomach, jostling his fingertips along the valleys of her abdominal.
Iroha Angel: I missed this. While I was with people on Earth-14, I felt very alone without you.
Tack reaches up with his other hand to comb through Iroha's new hair she came back with.
Tack Angel: You know I just noticed the new look.
Iroha instinctively grabs her head.
Iroha Angel: Do you not like? It was kinda a residual of my journey.
Tack Angel: No, I do like it. Mid-length Bob & Red looks good on you.
Iroha blushes a bit.
Iroha Angel: Thank you Tack, it means a lot that you do like it.
Tack Angel: So what caused this?
Tack & Iroha talked about her adventures on Earth-14, of meeting with adventurers, the Warrior of Light and his friends, of returning to help her Master. But just as she was about to continue, they both just stopped and stared at each other.
Tack Angel: I'm sorry, what were we talking about?
Iroha Angel: I was telling you that I was very brave on my journey, faced a lot of trials. So my hair ended up like this because of the Phoenix.
Tack Angel: Oh! Oh that's right. That katana, thing.
Iroha Angel: Mmhmm, and I decided on something.
Tack Angel: Oh? What's that?
Iroha turned to face Tack in a serious manner.
Iroha Angel: I already talked it over with the sister-wives.
Tack Angel: Really? You have me curious now.
Iroha Angel: That's right.
Iroha places her hand on Tack's shoulder.
Iroha Angel: It's time for you to face your fear and get a driver's license!
Iroha smiles at Tack as Tack's face drops color in shock, he tries to get up and walk away but Iroha's grip is now surprising him to be "very" strong.
Tack Angel: D-d-ugh... Driver's license?
Iroha Angel: That's right ole North Star, it's time for you to challenge yourself.
Tack Angel: But uh... you really wouldn't want me driving. Right?
Iroha's other hand sneaks up on Tack and grabs the other shoulder.
Iroha Angel: We already have drivers Tack, Penguin does good work on the family bus, and Pirate Bill does great for the ship. But this is more about you bettering yourself than you actually driving.
Tack, in defeat, sighs and swallows a gulp.
Tack Angel: Soo... when do we start?
Dear Journal,
Today upon Iroha's suggestion, the family took me to get my driver's license. I went to the Fourside DMV and took the test. Surprisingly, I was the first in Fourside history to crash during the written exam. I had to take the test over but had a licensed professional next to me with his own wheel and pedals to brake inside the DMV in case I crashed again. On the driving test, I nearly had a heart attack just sitting in the driver's seat. I had to be pulled out with the jaws of life because I otherwise wasn't moving (not of my own volition of course). However, when all was said and done, I got my license. I think I may had overheard someone say just before then, "just get rid of him", but Tracy says that was her as she was playing a game on her phone. I feel like a new man with my driver's license but I certainly never want to drive again in my entire life. We all went out for pizza together afterwards, it was nice being able to bring the family together after such a traumatic couple of days. Iroha seemed to just enjoy the pitter patter of the kids running around and the chatter that our family had. Iroha grabbed my hand many times during the dinner, telling me that she was glad that she's "back home where she belongs". If there's one thing I love about my family, is that it's a "one for all and all for one" team dynamic, and I'll never want to get rid of that. The wives, the kids, the pirates, the penguins, they all mean so much. To lose one of us would make us all weaker, but to gain more family is what makes us stronger. I may not care about my destiny myself right now, but if there's one thing that I learned from it, is that the more bonds I create, the stronger I'll be. That's something I'm going to carry into the future.
Truly yours,
Tack Angel
P.S. Iroha's new bod is so hot. Her curves are bigger and her muscles are stronger, I swear that even the trademark Angel magic filled boobs have some deep tissue muscle going on. She's the sexist she's ever been. And that new thing she learned with her tongue

The Angel family were at the relatively new developed Crystal Heaven Gym, Tracy was in ring training Chrissy on proper stretching and warm ups.
Tracy Angel: That's good Chrissy, reach them toes.
Chrissy Angel: It's just so hard Momma Tracy!
Nani Angel walks up to Chrissy and helps Chrissy forward more on her toe stretch.
Nani Angel: Here child, allow me to assist.
Chrissy Angel: Thanks Momma Nani.
Tack Angel was in the corner completely focus on his kick training with Iroha Angel.
Iroha Angel: Keep those kicks coming!
Tack proceeded to do a fast flurry of kicks to the pad Iroha was holding. The small Angel children were in the play pen, some watching both trainings happening while the tiny ones were with Amy Angel & some Pirates. Helios Angel walked up to the ring.
Helios Angel: Momma Tracy?
Tracy Angel: Yes, hun?
Helios Angel: When you're done helping Chrissy, can you train with Papa?
Tracy Angel: Train with Papa? What for?
Helios Angel: I think he wore out Momma Iroha.
Tracy looked over to see Tack in a slight panic as he seemed to accidentally knock down Iroha.
Tack Angel: I'm so sorry!
Iroha Angel: It's fine, it's fine.
Tracy Angel: Hey! Sugar kicks!
Tack looked over to Tracy as he helped Iroha up.
Tracy Angel: Get in here, we're gonna do some foreplay.
Tack turned a bit red as he nodded, Iroha gives Tack a quick peck, as he heads over to the ring.
Tracy Angel: Chrissy?
Chrissy Angel: Yes Momma Tracy?
Tracy Angel: Get the stool for your papa and massage his shoulders, I'll be right back.
Tracy Angel headed over to the lockeroom as Chrissy helped Tack to a corner.
Tack Angel: Do you know what Momma Tracy is doing Chrissy?
Chrissy Angel: No idea papa.
Chrissy proceeded to bash her little fists into the shoulders of Tack to get them relaxed. A few moments later and Tracy, or at least it seemed like Tracy came out of the lockeroom.
Tracy Angel?: ♪Do-do-do-do!♪ Are you ready to face your old tag partner John Tackykins?
Tack Angel: Oh no, Travis...
The little Angel girls laughed & cheered as Tracy, or Travis, climbed into the ring doing Tack's old poses.
Rebecca Angel: Momma Tracy is now Papa Travis!
Travis Angel: That's right! Now stand up tag partner, and let's wrestle!
Tack gave Chrissy a hug and stood up, Chrissy got out of the ring and the former World Tag Team Champions stood face to face. The crowd of the Angel Clan, was firmly in the side of Travis.
Travis Angel: Alright big man, let's do this.
Tack Angel: Do you want to do an exhibition or what?
Travis Angel: We can talk about maybe doing Exhibitionism later...
Tack turned away in shyness.
Travis Angel: Right now, I'm gonna stretch you like you stretched me in our last bedroom encounter.
Tack Angel: Is that right?
Travis Angel: Yeah that's right, and maybe tonight you can get some payback. I was thinking maybe the Cat-O-Nine tails tonight. Unless I hurt you too much right now.
Tack, flustered, was about to answer back when Travis standing switched him and got behind him. Travis tripped up the legs and got on top, spinning around the large body of Tack in a bit of showmanship. The crowd cheered as Travis got the upper hand as Travis gave Tack a sneaky slight squeeze around an unmentionable.
Tack Angel: You're playing dirty.
Travis Angel: Well mister goody-two-shoes, if you're gonna take wrestling more seriously, you're gonna need to smarten up.
Tack sat up and tried to escape Travis grip but Travis tripped the legs again and biting his ear for a half second after.
Tack Angel: Ow!
Travis Angel: Come on, an "ow!" just from a little sting?
Travis quickly trapped one of Tack's arms between her legs and grabbed the other arm. the slightly bigger children started to get really into the match.
Travis Angel: You know, I like having you this close. Though I am just waiting for you, ya know?
Travis sintched back Tack's arm a bit.
Tack Angel: Ah! Waiting for what?
Travis got close to Tack's ear.
Travis Angel: I want you to wrap yourself around me, I wanna be squeezed and pressed by your body. Come on, fight back and dominate me like you should.
Tack, seemingly inspired, quickly whisked his legs around and with that momentum, flipped Travis off him. Both now standing, Tack quickly shot for a leg and tripped up Travis, Tack then grabbed a leg of Travis and hooked in a half-crab. The crowd of Angels, still cheered.
Travis Angel: That's a bit better. Though you've done worse things before.
Tack released the leg and shot for the head in a reverse headlock, spinning the body to stand her up in a Dragon Sleeper.
Tack Angel: Better?
Travis Angel: For me? Absolutely. I love your musk.
Tack then flipped Travis onto the mat, grabbing her legs and arms, wrapping them together, got on top of Travis and wrapped his legs around her head in a full body submission. Tack pulled and pulled on the arms and legs until finally...
Travis Angel: I give! I give!
Pirate Taquito, in a wheelchair, rang the ringside bell. Signaling the end of the match. Tack got up and helped Travis up.
Tack Angel: Thanks for the motivation.
Travis Angel: No problem sugar kicks, just keep that intensity in EBW too. I promise the other wives and I will make it worth your while.
Tack & Travis hugged as the Angel Clan clapped at the result of the match.
Chrissy Angel: You did awesome Momma... I mean, Papa Travis!
Travis Angel: Thank you Chrissy, I love you so much.
Travis proceeded to get out of the ring and hug the running children. Tack got out of the ring and rotated his arm a bit as Faris Angel tossed him an ice pack. Tack then sat down on the double beach chair onto a waiting Makoto Angel, situating himself on her chest to rest.
Makoto Angel: You did great Tack! I'm proud of you!
Faris Angel: Just keep that up, you want to be challenging for the Triple Crown after all.
Tack Angel: Yeah, I definitely learned something from this sparring. I need to be more than just old Tack or current Tack, I need to be a more aggressive Tack.
Rebecca walked over, still in 8-bit animation, and handed her father a water bottle. Tack picked up Rebecca as Travis called out.
Travis Angel: And remember sugar kicks, I'll see you tonight. You bring the toys.
Rebecca Angel: What did she mean by toys Papa? Do you want to borrow mine?
Tack, flustered again, takes a sip of his water.
Tack Angel: No that's ok sweetheart, I think Momma Tracy meant something else.
Dear Journal,
Today Tracy decided to dress as her old persona Travis and challenged me to sparring. While I was definetly off-guard, her dressing that way did remind me that I'm going to be in many situations like that in EBW. Moments where I'm off-guard or on the back foot, or surprised. And I needed to be reminded that I have to overcome that, to rise up and keep fighting when things aren't normal. It is good to see though that Tracy hasn't given up her fitness, beyond for her physical appearence, it's nice to have someone always ready to help the Angel Clan get ready to be in top wrestling shape. I'm glad I can rely on her, it wouldn't be the same without her. I do wish her and her mother would get along again though, to have a Grandmother who doesn't care about her Grandchildren, even if none are Tracy's, hurts a lot. I get asked more than once when Grandma Tess is coming to visit, and each time I have to say I don't know. That really hurts each time I see the disapointment in their eyes. Maybe one day.
Truly yours,
Tack Angel
P.S. Little adendum after writing, Tracy met me tonight in the bedroom having set the place up with a table and chairs with a sign that read "Tomboy Outback". She then met met with her Travis hair but in a skimpy waitress outfit. Asking if I was ready for her Blooming Petals, and boy did both our mouths water when I brought out the Cat-O-Nine Tails...

Trevor Mach: You know what I love about EBW? You can take a guy like me, a very angry guy, looking to take out my frustrations about whoever is going after my family, and put him in the ring with a future victim. Something else. Look at me. Where else would I get cleared to fight right now? I love this company.
-
Jammer: I'm not the most well versed in the "Bushido Rules", but I know how to fight. I can compete. I can hang. I can slam, and I can jam. He might forget, but I've dealt with him before. Trevor Mach, I'm sorry you got some freak messing with your kids, but you focus on me. You look right here. It's one-on-one. It's street ball. I'm ready
Tommy Dukes: Welcome to the Mad Gear Bar for MFC 4! The Maelstrom revival continues, and these unruly fans are ready for some serious fights, the evolution of pro wrestling!
Apple Kid: Level Up gives you a comedic bend to everything, and this is were it gets serious. EBW is kind of a middle ground between the two, but we promise to keep it real here. It's all about blood, violence, combat, drunk biker chicks taking their tops off, and-
?: Yours truly, returning to call the action and steal the show.
Apple Kid: What? Orange? Where the hell have you been? You look....different? You actually combed your hair, and you're not wearing suspenders. What's going on?
?: The name is "Tangelo" now. As wrestling evolves so too must its commentators. I cleaned myself up, got a new look, new image, and I spent the last several months in quarantine studying tapes.
Apple Kid: Tangelo? Why were you in quarantine?
Tangelo: The "Mushroom Head" Pandemic. I was told to stay inside.
Apple Kid: But you could go outside.
Tangelo: It was quarantine. I was getting cabin fever.
Apple Kid: So just go outside.
Tangelo: I was afraid stepping into my Prius today was going to give me Mushroom Head. I'm surprised I made it here, what with quarantine going on.
Apple Kid: You can just go outside and do whatever you want. You could always do that. You never COULDN'T do that!
Tangelo: But the government said-
Apple Kid: They say a lot. They also said 7G is safe, but I installed that shit, and the guy next to me NOT wearing a hazmat suit grew a mushroom on his he-GREAT SCOTT! I GOT TO GO!
Tommy Dukes: So, I'm just....left with Tangelo then.
Tangelo: It's an obvious upgrade.
Tommy Dukes: Remains to be seen.
Tangelo: Fear not. I have studied this "MMA" and "Catch AS Catch Can" that encapsulates the Bushido Style. Don't forget I am a genius. I made an invention to un-cook an egg.
Tommy Dukes: So you like to remind everyone. Let's take it to the ring for some Bushido ACTION!
EBW Gaiden: Maelstrom Fight Club: MFC 4
Mad Gear Bar, Saturn City
ENN
1. Bushido Rules Women's Singles: Lt. Lacy Wagner beat Kyoko the Love Shocker (R3 0:13) via Armbar -> Referee Stoppage
-Lt. Lacy Wagner put her military grappling training to the test against Kyoko the Love Shocker. Kyoko had to adjust to not wearing her roller blades, but this wasn't a good fight to do that in. She found herself on the defensive for most of the match, lasting until the 3rd round, before Lacy took her to the mat with an Armbar. Kyoko's other arm was trapped underneath her, so the ref called for the Stoppage.
Tommy Dukes: Well done Lacy Wagner. I think the Lieutenant is finding her footing here. This is the kind of environment she needs to excel I think.
Tangelo: Well, Lady M's trained Blaze and Wagner to be singles competitors originally. They worked together to make some waves in tag action, but you're really seeing them come into their own now. Blaze went a different route of course, but the point still stands.
Tommy Dukes: Huh...,maybe you DID do you homework. I think the ref saved Kyoko's arm with this one. A good call. It's different from normal wrestling rules here. It didn't matter that she had a foot under the ropes. Wagner could have ripped her arm out of socket!
Backstage
Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here, and this place reeks of beer. It's totally fine. I'm not here to smell things, I'm here to talk with the good Friar himself. Fray Tiburon. Tonight, you're taking on Fighter Daron, who is one his 3rd? 4th? 5th? comeback?
Fray Tiburon: I pray for his success, but it's not going to be tonight. I am a fill in for Firebrand X, but this type of fighting can take its toll on the body. You'll see a similar outcome, and then when Firebrand X is ready, I'll be more than happy to take him on in two weeks.
Makoto Angel: Wow, that's a big match you're hyping! Exciting stuff. You have to get through Daron first though, so-
Fray Tiburon: I had to help Mr. Face and Amy Angel drag away a carnivorous KYO the other day. He would have taken chunks out of us. If I can walk away from that, then I have no fears regarding Fighter Daron. Again though, I pray for his success.
Makoto Angel: Always humble Fray Tiburon. He's in action next!
2. Bushido Rules Singles: Fray Tiburon beat Fighter Daron (R2 1:34) via Gogoplata -> Submission
-Fray Tiburon battled Fighter Daron next, in a very one sided beat down. Daron without Arliss seemed to have more focus, but less t-shirt sales. Tiburon kept him off his feet and worked him over. He had the ground skills to block submission attempts, but couldn't manage to regain control. In the middle of the 2nd round, Tiburon allowed Daron to go for the mount, only to trap him in the Triangle Choke. He followed that up with a Gogoplata transition, and Daron quickly submitted.
Tommy Dukes: And the win from Fray Tiburon.
Tangelo: It's obvious that Tiburon is World Champion tier, but he wears a heavy crown, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He makes enough to pay for his Church and for the orphans, but further success has always been just out of reach with that mindset.
Tommy Dukes: ...Where did Apple Kid go? He really needs to see this guy at work right now. This is insane!
3. Bushido Rules Singles: Hazen beat Vape (R1 0:49) via Ground and Pound -> KO
-Hazen made very quick work of Vape, taking him to the mat almost immediately. In a match where his weight would normally be an asset, it turned into a detriment, as Hazen had the strength to nullify that advantage. Vape was on the defense, keeping his hands up as Hazen plastered him with hard shots with the gloved fists. A shot to the chin had Vape's hands drop to his sides, and the match was ended in a KO.
Tommy Dukes: He's out! Hagen and the "War Kings" are just on a rampage here folks. Vape is nearly twice his size in weight, and he threw him around like a sack of potatoes. That guy is something.
Tangelo: He has Sambo training as part of his repertoire, and trains with the intent to use his opponent's strengths against them. Vape on the ground was going to be in trouble. He probably also knew that Vape was coming into this desperate to get a win and recovery his stagnating career.
Tommy Dukes: R-right. Sambo training....I totally knew that. Really....I did!
4. EBW Challenge Championship Bushido Rules: Trevor Mach(c) beat Jammer (R5 4:31) via Knee Trigger -> KO -> Title Defense!
-The main event saw Trevor Mach put the Challenge Championship on the line against a hungry and determined Jammer. Right from the bell, Mach rushed to the baller and went on the attack. No feeling out process here, just a flurry of blows, and knees in the clinch. He kept Jammer on the ropes and on the receiving end for most of round 1. Jammer had been training his cardio though, and let the "Bushido Renegade" wear himself out, before coming back in the 2nd round. He tried to take him off of his feet, and work over the knees to mixed success. Rounds 3 and 4 saw back and forth action, as Jammer found himself in a more controlled head space. Mach's anger was leading to slip ups, which Jammer exploited. The 5th round saw a speed up in action, and neither man was certain who had the points at this juncture. Jammer tried to throw a big punch, but Mach blocked it and landed a hard right of his own. He threw Jammer to the mat, and hit a Knee Trigger to the face, sending him to a KO loss.
Tommy Dukes: Trevor retains, but Jammer surprised him here. You can tell as he helps him to his feet. You have to understand Jammer's lack of experience with this match type. No Slam Jams or anything of the sort. He had limited training on the ground, which wasn't bad to be honest but-
Tangelo: He trained with the James Sisters and Bashin Dan, both of which have a connection to Trevor and Hope Mach, giving Jammer insight into the family training methods. He knew to watch for submissions of the ground and knees. He played the strategy well, but the time limit closing in lead to a mistake. He might have had the points. It was close.
Tommy Dukes: ...Listen Tangelo, I'm the one with the fight knowledge. I'm the play by play guy! Two of us is boring! We need some color here!
Tangelo: I am a color....orange.
Tommy Dukes: Uh...I....you.....*sigh* Let's just end the show on this shot of sportsmanship. Mach fist bumping a reeling Jammer. Yeah, let's just do that.

EBW World
Nerma: Nerma here for yet ANOTHER EBW World segment on ENN, where we fill you in on what's up in EBW. If you've been following up lately, the Angel Family has been in the spotlight, I think because Tack tends to forget how good those Lakitu are at their jobs. Seriously dude, you need to be careful with what you say and do when they're on you like that. Bad news, the segments were given TV-MA ratings. Good news? The sales of Vape brand Cat o' Nine Tails went through the roof. Vape actually has his own line of those? Seriously? S-Seriously? WHY DO YOU KEEP PUTTING YOUR NAME ON THINGS?! *clears throat* Sorry, it's the hormones. I'm super pregnant obviously. Vape might has his own line of bdsm tools, which are TOTALLY not befitting a baby face TACK, but he won't be in South Town for the next Xcite. The main event will see Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan and Television Champion Benjamin face off against the Weekend Wrecking Crew, for the World Tag Team Championships. This puts Dan in a position to become a 4-Crown King. It's a very rare distinction. Very few have had the honor. President Swift and ....w00t....come to mind, but it's something that's even eluded men like Tack Angel and Trevor Mach. We'll also see the "Outer Senshi" in action, as they continue to make a big splash since debuting. They're looking for someone or something according to Makoto Angel, but it remains to be seen what that is. The "War Kings" ARE booked, so no one was to get beaten up backstage. They'll be putting the Team Rings on the line against a makeshift team that Rod and Randy assembled to fight them. Anything to get a shot I guess. We've got Jammer stepping up for a match just AFTER that grueling 5 Round blockbuster at the Maelstrom Fight Club event! He was knocked out! Why would he accept a match after that? I mean he nearly went the distance, and that's 25 minutes people. Days later, he wants to face Cadmus? We even have a stacked Dark Match card for those with ENN+, and anyone getting tickets in South Town. Subculture and Maurice will have a match to see who challenges Trevor Mach for the Challenge Championship at New Year Rising 2021. It and the title match will be Bushido Rules. Tack Angel is going to be in action against a man whose mullet has driven him to insanity in the past Magnum PT. PT has been sharp on his return. He's been on a real roll. How will this match play out? Firebrand X will probably rip Chad Salad apart, but then we have Duvalie and two mystery partners taking on the makeshift team of Gold, Lt. Lacy Wagner, and Chrissy Angel. Who is she bringing to this fight? So much to see? So much to find out. Don't miss it. Xcite in South Town!

Nerma: Before we go, I'm joined by Subculture, who will be taking on Maurice for the right to challenge Trevor Mach for the Challenge Championship. It's been a while since you faced Mach. You two are friends now right?
Subculture: We have common ground. We are as close to friends as two people like us can be. Let's put it that way. That's not going to stop us from beating the hell out of each other. I have connections, so I know that between interrogation sessions with a bat, Mach is doing his rehabbing and his Lukie Yoga to try and prevent a burn out, but he's fighting hurt, and we all know it. This is my ticket to getting back up the card.
Nerma: You can't count out Maurice just yet. You still have the match with him.
Subculture: He's going to kick at me. Whatever. Unlike him, I remember that I can do more than punch.....sometimes. I'm always going to be a hungry street dog, and he might be alone and desperate right now, but I know what that means better than he does. To me, he's turning into a joke again. For instance, the other night I told Christina I was going to be like Maurice in bed. That meant 5 minutes of sex, limited positions, unnecessary growls, and overall blandness. Needless to say.....we didn't have sex. I-OOF!
Tack Angel kicked Subculture in the gut, as he fell back into a wheel chair, and wheeled down the hallway.
Subculture: *yelling in the distance* IT WAS A JOOOOKE!
Tack Angel: None of that on my watch Subbie! WHY SUBBIE THOUGH!?
Nerma: Tack! Glad we've got you here. What are your plans for New Year Rising?
Tack Angel: Well, I've been unshackled since the feud with Cadmus ended so-
Nerma: My water just broke.
Tack Angel: I think I'm going to-wait what did you say?
Nerma: My water...it just....it just broke. My water broke!
Tack Angel: Uhhhh....*looks to camera* This one isn't mine people! I didn't do this!
Nerma: Help me!
Tack Angel: Huh? Oh sure! I've done this a LOT of times!
Nerma: I KNOW!
Tack Angel: Let me just go get that wheel chair! Someone call Tommy!
Subculture: *in the distance* On it!

Tack Angel was wandering the halls of Crystal Heaven, checking out what his family were up to. Various sights and sounds were seen & heard of the mothers with their children. Pirates helping out with puppet shows and swashbuckling merry tunes of drums & accordions. Suddenly, Tack felt a vibration from his phone and a texting tone. Checking it he found it was from Nani Angel.
Nani Angel: Uhm... Husband. I require your assistance.
Tack Angel: Nani? You have a smart phone?
Nani Angel: Hai Nani des. And yes I have a phone. And please, I need your help as soon as you can in the Master Bedroom.
Tack put away his phone and rushed over to the Master Bedroom. Upon entering he found it to be fairly empty.
Nani Angel: Over here Husband
Tack looked over to the walk-in closet and saw a waving arm coming out of the doorway.
Tack Angel: Nani?
Nani Angel: Hai Nani des, yes over here.
Tack walked over and saw Nani half dressed, with her normal top on but her pants halfway on.
Nani Angel: It appears I have gained a problem.
Tack Angel: What happened?
Nani Angel: It appears I have focused too much on my squat exercises lately and I can no longer fit in my normal clothing.
Tack Angel: I'm not following.
Nani Angel: My muscles have been torn and repaired so frequently that I can no longer wear my wardrobe.
Tack Angel: Still not getting it.
Nani Angel: Hold please.
Nani proceeded to look through her phone, using quick taps and swipes. Tack stood there dumbfounded but also snuk peeks here and there.
Nani Angel: Ah, here we go. "My ass is so thicc, that my ass cheek's slaps rip through fabric by sound alone."
Tack Angel: Ahh! I see.
Nani Angel: Now that we have things clear, would you help me?
Tack Angel: Absolutely, how can I help?
Nani Angel: Would you please help me to get into these pants?
Tack Angel: Oh! Oh sure!
Tack & Nani proceeded to attempt to pull up her no longer fitting clothing. One attempt was by both using their hands;
Nani Angel: Pull! Pull Hard!
Tack Angel: I'm trying!
Another was Nani hand standing and Tack attempting to pull down
Tack Angel: You know, you look really impressive at this angle.
Nani Angel: Focus dear.
But what finally worked was Nani holding onto Tack's neck as he lifted up Nani. Bit by bit, the bottoms squeezed slowly into place. Nani finally sighed a sense of relief.
Nani Angel: Oh finally, thank you dear.
Tack Angel: Anytime love.
Tack & Nani gave a kiss to each other, Tack was about to leave when he was pulled back.
Nani Angel: Tack...
Tack Angel: Yes?
Nani Angel: I can't move.
Tack Angel: What?
Nani Angel: If I move, these will rip.
Tack Angel: So what do we do?
Moments later we saw Chrissy Angel with Pirate Jason in the Altair of Crystal Heaven, Chrissy was there learning how to sew. Suddenly, the doors bursts open with Tack carrying Nani.
Pirate Jason: Yarr, who be entering?
Tack Angel: We have a wardrobe emergency!
Chrissy Angel: Momma Nani?
Nani Angel: Hello child. I'm glad you're here, I'm in need of assistance.
Dear Journal,
No real lesson was learned today except that Nani needs a new wardrobe, due to her recent squats routine. I don't mind, it helps in many ways; for Nani's confidence, for her relationship with Chrissy sewing together, & for me for obvious reasons. You know though, maybe I should take up a needle sometime too, might be fun to join in with them. I'll have to buy Pirate Jason some Mead.
Truly Yours,
Tack Angel
P.S. Addendum, I now have a bandaged up finger. Gonna need some practice.

South Town Gymnasium - Backstage
Tack Angel and the Blue Shirts were trying to calm down Lady M's, as she went from room to room with a metal bar in hand. She went one direction, and Trevor Mach went the other, looking for answers in regards to the home invasion.
Tack Angel: Tali please, Swift made me Sheriff, and I've got to keep the peace.
Lady M's: If you try to stop me "Sheriff" then I'll rip that star off your chest and give you a seven point suppository.
Tack Angel: What?
Lady M's: Shove it up your ass Tack.
Tack Angel: Right. Of course. I should've known.
Lady M's: Look, if this happened to you, and it HAS, what would you do?
Tack Angel: ...Probably more than I did. Alright, just don't kill anybody alright?
Lady M's: No promises!
Tack Angel: Dammit!
Makoto Angel: Hey Tack?
Tack Angel: Yes wife.
Makoto Angel: Don't forget, you've got a match with PT tonight. I know it's only a Dark Match, but it's helping you get back into the groove and-
Tack Angel: PT.....mustache....mullet....
Makoto Angel: Tack? Are you seeing red? Maybe that's good? Use that! Mullets Tack. Mullets. They're gross. So so gross.
Tack Angel: ......
Makoto Angel: Huh...your nose is bleeding. Here, let me get that. Well....I've got to go. I'm filling in for Nerma tonight! See you out there!
Makoto kissed the bleeding and livid Tack, before skipping away, unaware of the beast she had unleashed. Before things could get too out of control, Bashin Dan broke Tack out of his stupor.
Bashin Dan: Tack? Tack? Tack!
Tack Angel: MULLETS! Huh? I mean hey Dan, what can I do for you?
Bashin Dan: We need to talk. It's about Yaggis, and the message you're supposed to give Trevor.
Tack Angel: How do you know about all that?
Bashin Dan: I-
Tack Angel: Wait. You're gonna do the product thing aren't you? One step ahead on this. Still sharp as a tack....so sharp as a me.
Bashin Dan: And I did some eavesdropping with Gordon Cole, Mr. Face, Jeff Andonuts, and Fray Tiburon.
Tack Angel: Oh....actual investigatory work. That's cool too.
Bashin Dan: You have a message to give to Trevor. I know he's busy, and with good reason, but he still needs that message I think.
Tack Angel: Right. Later tonight, we'll pass it along. Sound good?
Bashin Dan: Absolutely. Thank you.
Tack Angel: No, thank YOU champ, but if you WANTED to thank me, a title shot wouldn't hurt. The Pushpin Seraphim is back on the hunt.
Bashin Dan: Sorry Tack, you'll have to get in line like everyone else. *wink*
Tack Angel: *sigh* Well I-
Amy Angel: Tack, we need to talk to you!
Tack Angel: Apparently. I'm in high demand tonight. What's up babes in one babe?
Amy Angel: We saw those clips from home! We know what happens in Crystal Heaven, but SOME of that stuff is supposed to stay between all 108 of us!
Tack Angel: Surely a closely held secret between 108 people.
Amy Angel: You're supposed to be a white meat baby face honey! We are worried that you'll-
Tack Angel: I'm not supposed to be anything but me babes. I'm a face in the ring *camera zooms in* but a heel in the sheets.
Tack walked off nonchalantly.
Amy Angel: Man, he's so cool.
Elsewhere Backstage
Cade sat in a dark corner, with a much fitter w00t looming over him, with his old buzz cut hair style. Dae Montell stood on the other side of Cade. The mysterious dark figure stood behind them all.
w00t: Victory is the only way forward for you Cade.
Cade: .....
w00t: Victory comes at any cost. Perfection comes at any cost. That's all either us what right? Perfection. We're willing to do anything to get it.
Cade: ......
Dae Montell: Second chances don't happen a lot kid. Luckily, my services are always available to those who desire them. All it takes is a signature. We can still make this happen.
w00t: You are #1 Contender again. Why? Because I made that happen. WE made that happen. You didn't do it on your own. You don't have to. That's the point. WE will make you the Triple Crown World Champion. Just do what he says, and sign on the dotted line.
Cade: ....
w00t: You sit and you think about it, but don't take long, you don't have much longer. We're at a tipping point here. I've got my own plans, but the king maker Dae Montell, wants to help you. I suggest you let him. He took a burden off my shoulders, and helped me get to the core of my desires. What I want is Perfection. What you want, is the end of Bashin Dan, and the Triple Crown. Sign....let it happen. Make it happen.
Cade: .....
Makoto Angel: Welcome to South Town for a very exciting Xcite! Hey, I just got the naming convention! Xciting right?!
Tangelo: Nailed it.
Makoto Angel: Awesome! I'm Makoto Angel, filling in for Nerma, who is having her baby as we speak. Yes, she's been in labor for over 24 hours. As someone who has children who magically left my body in a beam of energy, thereby causing no pain OR wrecking my body, I can't image the pain she's in right now.
Tangelo: Cut to the pain in progress.
St. Saturn Hospital
Nerma was sitting on the hospital bed screaming, and crushing Tommy Duke's hand.
Nerma: GET HIM OUT OF ME NOOOOOW!!!!
Tommy Dukes: GOD HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!
Announce Table
Tangelo: It doesn't look pretty.
Makoto Angel: No, it certainly doesn't. That Iroha was a champ! I'm just saying. She did that with a whole BUNCH of kids! So, we're a week away from New Year Rising 2021, and the push is on. Who is going to get momentum heading into the event, and will Bashin Dan, the "Ace and Face of the Place....until Tack takes that crown" be able to become a 4-Crown King before the big event? EBW's greatest Tag Team, the Weekend Wrecking Crew would rather NOT let that happen.
Tangelo: Mike and Amigo have been teaming for years. They have worked out all the beef they used to have, and their friendship and bonds are stronger than ever, brought on Mike's acceptance of fatherhood, and a redeemed Magnum PT coming back into the fold. It's truly a harmonious time in the Sal Paradise Camp.
Makoto Angel: We'll get to PT, because just had some big Dark Matches, and he was in one of them....with Tack....and I wasn't expecting it to go that way....but it might be my fault. We'll get there.
Tangelo: First, Subculture expertly took apart Maurice in the opener. It was Bushido Rules, which put both competitors in their wheelhouse, but Subculture wanted it more. He used more of his tools, and took Maurice to the mat with a Lou Thez Press. Ground and Pound lead to the Stoppage. Subculture will take on Trevor Mach for the Challenge Championship at New Year Rising 2021.
Makoto Angel: Firebrand naturally crushed Chad Salad. I was going to say "tossed" Chad Salad, thinking it was a salad joke, but Producer Steve scribbled it out on my notes, and wrote "For the love of God, don't do it. You don't understand the innuendo!" I have no idea what that means.
Tangelo: Duvalie brought two new competitors into the Women's Division. The blue haired "Demon Bow" Ennea, a friendly face, with flowing blue hair, but she's deadly in the ring. Ines, "The Stout". The tall, powerful maiden, with braided red hair. They are associates from Duvalie, going way back. What this means for the Eisenritter is in question, but the three were addressed as the "Valkyries".
Makoto Angel: You're so knowledgeable.
Tangelo: I try.
Makoto Angel: That last Dark Match though....let's just say....Tack grabbed a chair....and chased Magnum PT out of the ring....and it lead to a Double Count Out. Like I said....I think that was my fault. However, that was just the ENN+ Dark Matches. We've still got-
Sailor Uranus: Evil force within EBW, prepare to be vanquished. We're looking for you.
Sailor Neptune: Aaaand we'll find you. But...before then, we're going to have some fun. See you tonight. *blows a kiss to the screen*
Announce Table
Makoto Angel: Those gals are my friends!
Tangelo: I see.
Makoto Angel: The time has come. Let's TAKE IT TO THE RING!
EBW: Xcite
South Town Gymnasium, South Town
ENN
0. Dark Match Bushido Rules Challenge #1 Contender: Subculture beat Maurice (R2 4:01) via Lou Thez Press x Ground and Pound -> Referee Stoppage
0. Dark Match Singles: Firebrand X beat Chad Salad via Fire Thunder Driver -> Pin
0. Dark Match 6-Woman Tag: Duvalie/Ines[Debut][o]/Ennea[Debut] beat Gold/Lt. Lacy Wagner/Chrissy Angel[x] via Heavy Divider (Bridging Tiger Suplex) -> Pin
0. Dark Match Singles: Tack Angel vs. Magnum PT ended in a Double Count Out
Announcer: With a height of 6'2, and weighing in at a GLORIOUS 239 lbs, this athlete is a former World Champion of Wrestling! The man takes it to the hoop like no other. He's a work horse. He's a man who nearly claimed the Challenge Championship. This man knows how to SLAM and he knows how to JAM. Some would even call him....the "SLAM MASTER" He is....the one...the only....JAMMER!
Jammer came out to a big reaction, as he came out for another series of "incredible" basketball action, with Vape helping him at every turn. He looked black and blue from the Maelstrom bout, but seemed to still have more energy and enthusiasm than Cadmus, who looked unkempt in the ring.
1. Singles: Jammer beat Cadmus via Slam Jam -> Pin
-Jammer dominated the match, as Bellerophon tried to motivate Cadmus on the outside. A failed Dark Star Cutter, lead to Jammer coming off the ropes with a Float Over DDT. He pumped up his kicks as he went up for the Slam Jam and the pin. 1-2-3!
Makoto Angel: A big win for Jammer there. He made it look effortless. How was he able to put in the work after that grueling match at Maelstrom?
Tangelo: Jammer is putting in a lot of time in the gym. He's been putting cardio front and center.
Makoto Angel: ...Oh yeah? Huh.
Jammer: You see that? You see what I can do? This is the Slam Master in full force baby. Sure, I didn't walk away from the Fight Club with the Challenge Championship, but that doesn't mean I'm not a work horse. I'll just get better. I'll go for it again. I'll go even higher. I'm going for a SLAM DUNK this year! Count on it!
Jammer threw a basketball behind him at the hoop that he brought out with him, but missed completely and knocked down a camera Lakitu.
Jammer: Oh crap!
2. Women's Tag: Sailor Uranus/Sailor Neptune[o] beat Kaie/Eve[x] via Neptune Shoot x Deep Submerge -> Pin
-The "Outer Senshi" stepped into the ring again to face the currently down and out Eisenritter. Kaie was a match for the two ladies, but Eve was too busy showing off for her simps, and that cost her, as Neptune came off the ropes with a Neptune Shoot, and a Michinoku Driver she calls the Deep Submerge for the pin and the win.
Makoto Angel: Yeah! "Outer Senshi" are awesome! I missed these ladies. I miss a lot of my friends. Most of them are still in Edo....but I'm going off on a tangent. Keep me on track please Tangelo?
Tangelo: Will do.
3. EBW World Team Championships: Hazen(c)/Ilya Fedorovich(c)/Radzi Schrieffer(c)[o]/Golvoth(c) beat Randy no Kachi/LG Rod/Pirate Bill/Dirk Laramie[x] via Knee Bar -> Submission
-The "War Kings" put on a clinic as they made fast tags, and showed off their diverse fighting styles, and athletic prowess. A cut above, this Euroland faction worked over the "Heel Besties", Pirate Bill, and Dirk Laramire, the mustacheless Laramie getting the worst of it, because of course he is. Just when he thought his losing streak was over, Radzi Schrieffer submitted him with a Knee Bar.
Tangelo: Absolutely flawless execution from the "War Kings". They are taking every match seriously, and showcasing a superior skill.
Makoto Angel: ...Yeah....they beat up poor Bill. *sigh* I love Bill.
Tangelo: Everyone loves Bill.
After that match, the ring crew put two seats in the ring. One, a glorious golden throne, and the other, a normal stool. Erica entered the ring to a chorus of boos.
Erica: Silence, the Queen is here, and the Queen is talking. Now, I didn't get the rematch I wanted with Christina. I took a couple weeks off. I thought hard about it. I'll give her some credit, she ran the gauntlet. However, that title is mine, and I will get it back. Until then, and until I'm cleared to compete, I'll be hosting the "Queen's Court", where I'll get to the heart of some deep cutting matters. I MUST be on television. Tess and I agree, that ratings POP when the Queen is here. The Golden Goddess of EBW. Tonight, we have a special guest. She's making waves lately. People are talking, and I hear things. I want to have a sit down, so Lainey Strong, come out, and face the Queen.
Lainey Strong came out to a big reaction, as she shyly smiled and waved to the crowd. She sat awkwardly on the stool, trying to find the best way to sit on it.
Erica: You good?
Lainey Strong: I'll figure it out.
Erica: Lainey Strong, the daughter of Mayor Strong, a former EBW World Champion. You come from a strong blood line. Impressive...well he is. You...not so much.
Lainey Strong: Of course you'd say that. I admit that my win-loss record isn't the best, but I've been doing on the job training. I'm young. I'm not like you. I haven't been around forever, but I'm planning on it from now on.
Erica: ....What are you implying?
Lainey Strong: What do you think I'm implying?
Erica: I'm far from old.
Lainey Strong: I never said you were. *snicker*
Erica: Cute. Real cute. Calamity Jane abandoned you. That had to sting. What made you realize you were the inferior, and why do you keep coming to work?
Lainey Strong: Who says I'm inferior? You? I don't think so. Calamity Jane and I were working hard together. When she left for a while I tried to carry on her legacy, and when she came back, I did everything I could to welcome her back. She was like a sister to me. I keep coming here to "work" because I love wrestling, like my father. I want to be the best.
Erica: Like your father huh? How old are you? 22 years old right?
Lainey Strong: That's right.
Erica: Young kid. You've been in training since you were 17 is that right? You know when I was 22 years old, I was burying Lady M's underground. I was claiming the Women's World Championship. You've had misfortunes and losses, when I was on top of the world. You're falling behind. We all know your father was a great wrestler, and has been helping you handle your career behind the scenes, but with all of his work being Mayor of Saturn City, he doesn't have the time to really pay attention to the fact that he's thrown you into a pit of sharks. The stupidity of your father-
Lainey Strong: Don't call my father stupid.
Erica: Let me rephrase. The ignorance, on your father's part, of putting you in the ring, with the best of the best, crushing you week in and week out, and-
Lainey Strong: Don't talk about my father. You want to talk, you talk to me.
Erica: I am. I'm wanting to know how it feels to be used like a pawn by your fa-
Lainey Strong got up and slapped Erica in the face. Erica punched back, before Blue Shirt Security came out to pull Lainey back.
Lainey Strong: Let me go!
Erica: Looks like I struck a nerve! Haha! This has been the Queen's Court! Get her out of here!
Security kept pulling on Lainey, until Benjamin came out, and told them to unhand her. He calmly talked her down, and she seemed embarrassed to be so angry around him, so she walked to the back.
4. 6-Woman Tag: Kimber Blaze/Calamity Jane[o]/BeShemoth beat Christina Angel/Hope Mach/Lainey Strong[x] via Lariat -> Pin
-In a fast pace 6-Woman tag match, the #1 Contender, and her team of Anti-Angel malcontents took on the World Champion, Hope Mach, and Lainey Strong, coming back out after her interview, and still looking super nettled. A great showing from all involved, but Calamity Jane faked an apology and reunion with Lainey, to blast her with a head kick, and a harsh Lariat for the pin.
Makoto Angel: Oh no! Christina's team tried so hard, but those Anti-Angel....butt heads, played on Lainey's emotions. She's been getting some winds lately, and I think Jane wants to take the wind out of her sails.
Tangelo: Lainey Strong and Calamity Jane will get a chance to settle this at New Year Rising 2021. The stakes are high, and only one of them will be the break out star of the former "Sunset Riders".
Makoto Angel: Exactly. I'm unsure of why, but I'm weary about you, and surprised that you're so good at this, if not a bit low energy and monotone.
Tangelo: I've been getting that a lot.
?
In a hazy room, a banner on a wall showed a shark coming at the viewer. A figure moved in front of it.
Franky: The time has come. A new order needs to rise from the ashes of the old. It's time for "The Shark Order" to make a splash in EBW once again, and this time, it's for realsies. I'm coming out swinging.
5. EBW World Tag Team Championships: Kinniku Mike(c)/Amigo(c) vs. Bashin Dan/Benjamin ended in a No Contest
-Main event time as the Weekend Wrecking Crew put the titles on the line against the All-Star duo of Triple Crown World Championship Bashin Dan and Television Champion Benjamin. A first class line up, and a top notch match. Back and forth action, with Dan and Benji working hard to keep up with the extensive tag experience of their competition. Dan's HEART and SOUL wore down the champs, but the match was suddenly cut short, as Cade ran into the ring with a bat, and battered all four men. The ref called the match a No Contest, as the crowd booed and threw garbage at Cade.
Makoto Angel: Come on! That villain! He stopped a great match up!
Tangelo: The intention is clear. He doesn't want Dan to succeed. He doesn't want him to become a 4-Crown King. He wants him to focus entirely on him. They will be settling things once and for all in just a few short days. Don't miss New Year Rising 2021.
Backstage
Tack was pacing back and forth as a Pirate ran up to him.
Pirate Benny: It's time! That thing from Trevor has arrived!
Tack Angel: What thing? I told you to track him down.
Pirate Benny: Oh....well I found this in his locker room.
Tack Angel: ....It's my birthday present? But that's a week away! I just...I wonder...uh...should I open it?
Pirate Benny: Well, maybe not because-
Tack Angel: I'm gonna open it.
Pirate Benny: Great idea!
Tack gazed at the portrait inside of the box.
Tack Angel: Wow....I didn't think Trevor wore that hat anymore....but everything else is perfectly accurate! What a great friend! I-
Trevor Mach: You opened it early?! What the hell man! Whatever! I'm super busy and-
Tack Angel: Trevor wait! Listen! We NEED to talk!
Trevor Mach: .....

South Town Gymnasium - Parking Lot
After the last Xcite, a very confused Trevor Mach was taken to the Parking Lot by Tack Angel, where Bashin Dan was waiting for them.
Trevor Mach: What are we doing here? You're not going to ask to marry my daughter or anything are you? It's a REAL bad time and-
Bashin Dan: What?! No! I wouldn't-
Trevor Mach: Why not? My daughter not good enough for you Dan?!
Bashin Dan: You're putting me in a box here! A difficult strategy to overcome!
Tack Angel: It's not about Trevor. It's about a message I have to give you. It came from a reliable source. Someone who knows things that you used to know.
Trevor Mach: How do we know I used to know it, if I don't know it anymore?
Tack Angel: .....
Bashin Dan: Well he would....no....you might....no....ummm..
Tack Angel: Just work with me here. Focus.
Trevor Mach: Too much blinding rage to focus, but I'll see what I can do.
Tack Angel: I'm sorry about the presen-
Trevor Mach: My kids Tack!
Tack Angel: Right! Right! Listen, you wrote down an important message. Yaggis told you something, and you wrote it down, because you weren't going to be able to retain it on your own.
Trevor Mach: A message....from Yaggis....that guy I dream about?
Bashin Dan: You have dreams about him?
Trevor Mach: Doesn't feel like a dream. Feels like an out of body experience, like I'm waking up from a dream sometimes. It's weird shit, but I think I get where you're going here.
Tack Angel: You remember Yaggis right?
Trevor Mach: R-right....of course.
Tack Angel: You don't, do you?
Trevor Mach: Don't judge me on memory Tack!
Tack Angel: Fair as that point might be, you need to remember this. He was Giygas in human form.
Trevor Mach: Right! I DO remember that, and I remember 1992 I think? Things start to get fuzzy.
Tack Angel: The message. You wrote it down. Do you have it anywhere?
Trevor Mach: Actually....I do. I found it last time I was in Edo. I kept it in my wallet...I have no idea why.
Bashin Dan: Perhaps subconsciously you knew it was important?
Trevor Mach: ....More likely I'm a pack rat. Let's see what it says. "Be sure....to drink....your ovaltine". That's the wrong one. That was a different thing. Oh here it is.
The three stood side by side as Trevor opened the note he had written himself.
Trevor Mach: "It's in the sound" What is? What's in the sound?
Tack Angel: That's the questio- wait....he said you heard it wrong.
Trevor Mach: Very possible. My hearing is shit.
Bashin Dan: What part did he hear wrong though?
Tack Angel: Try to remember Trevor.
Trevor closed his eyes, and remembered what Giygas had told him in the dream. Suddenly, he saw flashes of events he took part in but couldn't remember.
Trevor Mach: Wait I died? I did! I died! How did I-
The memories quickly faded again, as if a force was working to keep him from learning too much.
Trevor Mach: It's cloudy....I can't remember.
Tack Angel: I don't get it. He said you would know what it means. He said-
Trevor Mach: "He".
Trevor suddenly remembered, being pulled from a place in a hurry. He needed to escape. He needed to get out and send a warning. "It's in the Sound" "It's in The Sound" "He's in The Sound".
Trevor Mach: "He's in The Sound". Ow my head!
Tack Angel: "He's in The Sound"? What does that mean? That doesn't help much.
Bashin Dan: No, it does. "The Sound" could be "The Enticing Sound", who is trying to control Cade, who is the son of Yaggis.
Tack Angel: Well there you have it. HE is in "The Sound". Who is HE? Giygas?
Trevor Mach: No, he's not here. He's wherever Yaggis is. The place they take me. This is getting ridiculous. I don't like being aware that big chunks of my memory are being obscured from me. Why did this happen?
Bashin Dan: They didn't want you having all the answers.
Tack Angel: It's the game Celestials play I would think. They work within the Sanctum, and they don't want us "mere mortals" to have all that power. You had to choose between ascending or staying here, and that's what it cost you.
Trevor Mach: Huh....well I'd do it again in a heart beat. This is more important than whatever that is.
Tack Angel: Also, I think you brought Rod and Randy back to life.
Trevor Mach: I did?! Too much power! I don't want it! Good for the Besties though. Love those guys. Well, they seem to have left me with just enough to cheat a little, and I say we use it.
Bashin Dan: What do you mean?
Trevor Mach: You want Yaggis back?
Bashin Dan: I do. I do for Cade's sake more than anything.
Trevor Mach: Then....we need to go get him.
Bashin Dan: We?
Trevor Mach: You're damn right.
?
KYO held his head in his hands, sobbing as he looked down at the shackles on his ankles. He was sitting in the same cell Giygas was once housed, in the mobile headquarters of Mr. Face and Gordon Cole's "Agency".
Mr. Face: KYO....KYO look at me. KYO.
Jeff Andonuts: Let me try. KYO, we found another body, dismembered in the same way as the previous victim. We've determined that they were "Jamie OD" and "Camilo Ortega". Want to tell us why you did this?
KYO: Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? You want to know why? I want to know why? We ALL want to know WHY, but the answer is I don't know. I just do what I'm told. Since it happened. Since I stared into the void, it has consumed me. Something found us in there. Some primordial, and beyond comprehension. It found me again, and it spoke to me. It made me do it. HE made me do it.
Mr. Face: Who? Who made you do it?
KYO: HE DID! HE DID! HE DID! I HEARD HIM! HE WAS IN THE SOUND! THE SOUND! HE WAS IN THE SOUND!

Andonuts Labs
Trevor was driving Lady M's, Tack, and Dan to Jeff's lab in the Coyote X.
Trevor Mach: Didn't you get a license Tack?
Tack Angel: I don't want to talk about it.
Bashin Dan: You've been getting a lot more segment time lately. I admit that I can't really watch them. Too risque.
Lady M's: Yeah Tack, what the hell?
Tack Angel: What?! I'm just spending time with my family! I can't help that the Lakitus are getting sneakier!
Lady M's: You have to be subtle about this stuff.
Tack Angel: I never know when they're watching!
Lady M's: Assume they're ALWAYS watching! I always check every room in the house before I even take a shower at this point.
Tack Angel: I don't want to have to be so paranoid. Just don't watch the segments!
Trevor Mach: Dammit, but you know we watch the product!
Lady M's: Cruel monster.
Tack Angel: *shrugs*
Bashin Dan: Oh good. We're here. Not sure how much more of that I could take.
Trevor Mach: Remember the Lakitus are watching when you're with my daughter Dan.
Bashin Dan: I got it! *blush*
The quartet walked into the lab, as Jeff went over some paperwork.
Trevor Mach: Sup Jeff! Did you know that I was the Angel of Death, and I died in void trying to protect the Multiverse from an all consuming entity?!
Jeff Andonuts: Uh....yeah?
Trevor Mach: DAMMIT! How do you know that?!
Jeff Andonuts: I was THERE!
Trevor Mach: You were?
Jeff Andonuts: How do you think I lost my leg?
Trevor Mach: ....Boating accident?
Jeff Andonuts: Boating accident?! Really?!
Trevor Mach: It was a shot in the dark! I wasn't going to be rude and ask like I'd forgotten or something...which I had.
Jeff Andonuts: But you remember now?
Trevor Mach: Nope! It was second hand information from them.
Lady M's: And even then, who could remember all of that plot. I'm sure half of it was wrong.
Jeff Andonuts: Fascinating phenomenon, people suddenly remembering things they'd forgotten. Thought you might have been one of them.
Trevor Mach: No, it sounds too awesome, so of course I forgot.
Tack Angel: And he's been forgetting every time we tell him.
Trevor Mach: I have?
Bashin Dan: They've told you 5 times on the ride over.
Tack Angel: Sorry dude.
Trevor Mach: Well....we better make this quick then. Jeff, I need you to send me somewhere.
Jeff Andonuts: What?

Andonuts Labs
Jeff Andonuts was tinkering with his "Sanctum Observation Device", as Trevor Mach and Bashin Dan laid down on opposing tables. Each had wire connected to their heads, meeting up at the machine.
Trevor Mach: I've slept in worse places, but do you really think this is going to work?
Jeff Andonuts: I have no idea! You came to me with this scheme!
Trevor Mach: Oh right.
Gordon Cole: IT APPEARS WE HAVE ARRIVED JUST IN TIME! I HOPE YOU HAVE A POT OF HOT BLACK COFFEE FOR ME!
Mr. Face: We got here as quickly as we could.
Fray Tiburon: You weren't going to start without me were you?
Jeff Andonuts: No way! This was all sprung on me suddenly! I know that this was joint experiment between us. Science and Religion, trying to work together to find conclusive proof of a "Metaverse".
Lady M's: This stuff is a bit over my head, and I don't care much as long as Trevor remains more or less in one piece.
Trevor Mach: Thanks babe!
Lady M's: I'm going to sit over here and try to take a nap.
Tack Angel: You can rest your head on my shoulder if you want.
Lady M's: I'm obviously already married you lecherous monster.
Tack Angel: I was trying to be nice you rude psycho!
Lady M's: .....
Tack Angel: ......
Lady M's: ....You're alright Tack.
Tack Angel: So confused. What is this all about anyways? Trevor talks about going someplace else, and you want to see if he can take Dan with him? Why not me? I want to go.
Jeff Andonuts: Dan.beat you to it.
Bashin Dan: This is important to me personally. I need to do this.
Tack Angel: I'm guessing pulling the seniority card wouldn't work?
Bashin Dan: Not this time.
Tack Angel: Then what good is it!? Bah!
Jeff Andonuts: I once made this device to observe the Sanctum, and to see if I could connect two people inside of one dream, making my own little Sanctum, but that experiment ended when things changed. Now that they're back to normal, maybe I could.
Gordon Cole: PLAY GOD ON YOUR OWN TIME MY VERY VERY GOOD FRIEND! WE NEED TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS! WE HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO WITNESS HERE!
Jeff Andonuts: Right you are. I just need you both to go to sleep now. If this works, and you're pulled into the "Metaverse" maybe we can see it. Maybe Dan will follow you.
Trevor Mach: It's going to be a little hard to fall asleep at wi-
Bashin Dan: Zzzzz......Zzzzzz......
Trevor Mach: Must be easy when you don't have INSOMNIA! *sigh* How am I going to-
Tack Angel: Oh I know! I could tell you about the exciting events surrounding the fighting game tournament scene in 2017. Oh boy, it was quite the time for people to sit in front of a screen, and mash buttons in a sequence that would-
Trevor Mach: Zzzzzz.......Zzzzzz......
Tack Angel: Is he faking it?
Fray Tiburon: No, that's a legit Trevor snore. I recognize it from Mass.
Tack Angel: Works every time.
The group sat in silence, as the two men slept. Their brain patterns appeared on the screen, appearing normally at first, until....
Jeff Andonuts: There! Look.
Mr. Face: What are we seeing here. It's not an actual image or anything?
Jeff Andonuts: I don't have the ability to show a dream yet. I don't know HOW the Lakitus do it, and they won't let me experiment on them. What you're seeing here are brain waves, and activity is increasing. Rapidly I might add. Look, it's like Trevor's awake. Now it's even higher! I've never seen it that high! Bashin Dan is matching. Not just the rate, but the pattern. It happened! They're there!
Fray Tiburon: Perhaps you just found that concrete evidence we were looking for. The "Metaverse" huh?
?
Trevor felt disoriented, as he found himself back in the mental health facility. This time he wasn't strapped down in his room though, but sitting on a couch in the rec room next to a large drooling man.
Trevor Mach: I don't....I don't remember what I'm supposed to do.
Drooling Man: We're supposed to watch the television. If we don't, they'll make us go back to our rooms.
Trevor Mach; Yeah? But, I feel like I was supposed to do something. Something important.
Drooling Man: We're supposed to watch the television. If we don't, they'll make us go back to our rooms.
Trevor Mach: Eh?
Trevor looked to the side of the man, and saw a scar on his head, where he had been given a lobotomy. He looked all around to see everyone else in the room had a similar lobotomy scar. Trevor bolted up, but felt woozy as he felt his own head, also feeling a scar, and realizing why he couldn't remember what he had to do. Suddenly, Dr. Yaggis and two large guards entered the room.
Dr. Yaggis: Mr. Morris, I find it remarkable that even now you're still giving us problems.
Trevor Mach: I'm Trevor Ma....Ma....Mach. What....what did you do to us?
Dr. Yaggis: What we do around here now to everyone. Times have changed. We have no room for free thinking in our society anymore Mr. Morris. Your family was too worried about you. You just kept writing, and showing no signs of recovery, so we had to perform the procedure.
Trevor Mach: You...you son of a bitch.
Dr. Yaggis: Mr. Morris, you need to si-
Trevor Mach: No! I am NOOOT "Mr. Morris". I know who I am. You can take me apart piece by piece, but you can't deny an idea. You can't kill them or stop them. Ideas create whole new worlds. Ideas are real. THEY'RE REAL!
Dr. Yaggis: Your "ideas" had lead you to becoming delusional. Too much escapism. You wanted to live there, but this is reality, and there is no escaping it. You even wrote that this is the "Metaverse".
Trevor Mach: No. This isn't the "Metaverse". I'm starting to think we didn't ascend anywhere. I'm starting to think we got dragged down somewhere heinous, and I want out. I just...I just can't remember what-
Dr. Yaggis: Mr. Morris, we're going to give you a sedative, and we're going to take you to your room now.
Trevor Mach: I AM TREVOR MACH!
Trevor grabbed up a chair to attack Yaggis and his guards, until he heard something behind him.
Drooling Man: We're supposed to watch the television.
Trevor put down the chair, as he looked at the television behind him. An anime was showing called "Battle Spirits: Geki Ha Dan", and it featured a familiar young man in a card battle.
Bashin Dan: I'll defeat you with.....wait....wait this isn't right. This isn't real. I'm...I'm in a cartoon? Trevor? Trevor can you hear me?!
Trevor Mach: I hear you Danny boy. What do you call this Yaggis? A "delusion"?
Dr. Yaggis: ......
Bashin Dan: Trevor, I hope you can hear me! Remember what you have to do!
Trevor Mach: I'm trying, but they took so much from me....just like my memories....of the Sanctum...and the Void...and...that's why...I just...I can't remember. I can't remember!
Bashin Dan: You have to do it! Please! Save Yaggis!
Trevor Mach: Save Yaggis. Save Yaggis? SAVE YAGGIS!
Trevor suddenly snapped back into cognitive focus, and grabbed Yaggis by the arm. No one else moved.
Trevor Mach: This place isn't real. This lobotomy isn't real. I'm in control, and you're coming with my Yaggis!
As Trevor pulled on Yaggis' arm, he split into two bodies. One resembled a more familiar Dr. Yaggis, and the other seemed like a ghoulish after image. Everyone started looking ghoulish and distorted. The walls began to crumble, and the television exploded.
Dr. Yaggis: Yes Trevor! Wake up! You have to wake u-
Trevor and Dan bolted upright at the same time.
Trevor Mach: THAT SUCKED!
Bashin Dan: Tell me about it.
Jeff Andonuts: They're back!
Fray Tiburon: So what was it like? Was it truly the "Metaverse"?
Trevor Mach: Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not so sure anymore. It felt more like a personal Hell.
Bashin Dan: It was...unpleasant. I don't want to go back.
Trevor Mach: That makes two of us.
Jeff Andonuts: So NOT the "Metaverse", but it was somewhere.
Trevor Mach: Like I said....it felt like Hell. It was a prison, and we were trapped. This is what's real. This is what matters.
Bashin Dan: Right.
Tack Angel: Well I'm glad you guys are both all right, but what about Yaggis? Weren't you going in to save-
Suddenly, Dr. Yaggis materialized over Tack, and fell onto him.
Tack Angel: OOF! Found him!
The group put him onto one of the tables, and Jeff checked his vitals.
Mr. Face: How is he?
Jeff Andonuts: He's alive.
Lady M's: Zzzzz.......Zzzzz.....
Trevor Mach: Like the Lady over there, he's a little comatose, but he'll be out for a while, just like I was.
Jeff Andonuts: Just like you were? Does that mean?
Trevor Mach: Yeah I remember. I remember everything.
Trevor felt the part of his chest where Darkness Angel once ran him through with a sword. The faintest hint of a scar remained of that day, but the memory of it was sharp again. Everyone stood in silence, taking stock of what had just transpired, until...
Tack Angel: Guys, I don't want to break your concentration or anything, but got a show to get to. It's quite a drive after all.
Trevor Mach: Oh good point!
Jeff Andonuts: Wait what?
Lady M's: I'm up! I'm up!
Bashin Dan: This was definitely "something". Please, watch over the Doctor until he awakens please.
Jeff Andonuts: You're done? Just like that!?
Trevor Mach: We got fights to fight Jeff. You know that. It's what we live for.
Tack Angel: Well that and boobs.
Trevor Mach: Yeah, you heard the man. Let's go.
Lady M's: I'm driving.
Tack Angel: Yikes!
Lady M's: I'm a GREAT driver!
Tack Angel: YOU'RE RECKLESS!
Jeff stood dumbfounded at their ability to snap back to the other events playing out in their lives, as a comatose Dr. Yaggis lay before him, having been pulled out a nightmare prison.
Jeff Andonuts: This doesn't get much weirder.
Gordon Cole: NOW THAT THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY! WHO WANTS TO COLOR?! I BROUGHT CRAYONS! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING SO FUN CAN BE MADE OF PARAFFIN? IT SAYS THIS ONE IS PEACH, BUT IT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE IT! IT SHOULD SAY "WAX FLAVORED".
Jeff Andonuts: There we go.

EBW World
Makoto Angel: Hello everyone! Makoto here, filling in for Nerma and Tommy Dukes. After hours and hours of labor, their son, Luke Dukes! Congratulations Dukes family! I know they want to get back to things quickly, but we've got it covered! Myself, Larry Grim, Tangelo, and Apple Kid will handle things 100%, so don't you worry about a thing!
Dukes Residence
Nerma quickly handed baby Luke to a panicking Tommy, as he tried to hold his new son with a cast on his arm from the pregnancy.
Nerma: CAN YOU BELIEVE HER?! I KNEW IT! THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE OVER DAMMIT! NOOO!!
Tommy Dukes: Little Luke, this just how mommy is. You'll get used to it....I know I did...*looks at his cast* scars and all.
-
Makoto Angel: Did you guys feel that? I felt like an intense negative energy. It was so full of malice. I can almost taste it. That's....troubling. I'll try not to think about it right now, because we have a lot to cover today. Apparently, EBW veteran Franky is coming back to EBW to form "The Shark Order". In the past, it was a gang of delinquents, but Franky has recently taken cues from another important character in EBW's history, Mr. Carpainter. That's right, the leader of the Blue Blue Cult, Mr. John Carpainter. Really? His name was John Carpainter? No, I don't know why that's funny. I guess I just never knew his first name. Anyways, Franky is promising a "better life" for those who join The Shark Order. I guess we'll have to see what they have in store. Xperience will be emanating from the Twoson Mall just days before we go to the Fairgrounds for New Year Rising 2021. It promises to be a big night. The main event will see Mav Valentine return from his Con Chair To loss to Cade, as he teams with Challenge Champion Trevor Mach and Picky Minch in the main event against w00t, Cadmus, and the #1 Contender Cade. We hear Bashin Dan wants to speak with Cade before the title bout at NYR, but we're not sure what it's all about. Also on the card, the "War Kings" are all in action, but in Singles competition, to show off their versatility. They have been a force to be reckoned with so far, and two guys who have felt that are LG Rod and Randy no Kachi. The two of them will be going in Singles action against the "War Kings".
Crystal Heaven
Tack Angel was working out with LG Rod and Randy no Kachi in the gym.
Tack Angel: So, get this they MAKE me drive to the grocery store! I HAVE to be the one to get the formula, like we don't have so many other people that can drive around here. Long story short, this guy starts an online thing with me, saying I took the side mirror off his car, and I and don't know the width of my own vehicle. So I fired back. I told him, that's not just a lie. That's not just bull. That's libel, and I'm going to call him on it. These people want to dirty my character and maim my brand. I try to just laugh it off, but after about 20 minutes or so, my cheeks hurt and I start crying. This other guy said he saw me in the park playing catch with the daughters, and I had a weak underhand throw. Was it weak and underhand? Yeah, but I had a reason, and I'm certainly under no obligation to explain myself. Is it an impingement of the rotator cuff from that Coal Miner's Glove match? Maybe, but I ain't going to tell you man. I-
LG Rod: *sigh*
Randy no Kachi: *sigh*
Tack Angel: You both seem down. Am I bothering you?
LG Rod: Huh? No buddy, we love these talks. We try to be good listeners.
Randy no Kachi: It's essential to be the best heels you can be. Listening.
Tack Angel: I don't know if that's right.
LG Rod: We're just trying to get our mojo back in the ring, and we've got these "War Kings" battering us. It almost makes me wish I were a ghoul again.
Randy no Kachi: Things hurt A LOT less when you're dead. That's not like a treatise on suicide or anything, but a by product of not being all the way dead. You know?
Tack Angel: Uh-huh.
LG Rod: We're just trying hard to get back into things, and be the heeliest Heel Besties!
Tack Angel: Guys, I think I get what you're saying. I think to do that, you've got to go out on your own, and be yourselves again.
LG Rod: What?
Randy no Kachi: You don't want to be friends anymore? *sniff*
Tack Angel: What? No! That's not what I meant. I mean, you go out there as the true "Heel Besties", and not just members of TackForce. I want friends not minions. I don't need minions anymore, nor do I want them .
Pirate Bill *in the distance* Yarrrr!
Randy no Kachi: .....
LG Rod: .....
Tack Angel: I can't help it with the Pirates. When I married Faris, they were part of the deal. It's like having a LOT of in-laws.
Randy no Kachi: I think you're right though. We used to be vicious heels. We used to be the best tag team in wrestling! We can have that back now! We can do it again!
LG Rod: Absolutely! The "Heel Besties" making a comeback baby! I can feel it dude!
Tack Angel: Great! Now go out there and show them all!
Randy no Kachi: Yeah! Let's go!
LG Rod: Where are we going?
Randy no Kachi: I have no idea!
The "Heel Besties" stormed out of the gym, ready to seize the day, leaving Tack very relieved.
Tack Angel: Finally....I've got my gym back. There has to be an easier way to get someone off your elliptical machine.
Tracy Angel: I thought they'd never leave!
Iroha Angel: Man, those guys really love you. It's like a bromance love triangle.
Tack Angel: You know every triangle is a love triangle when you love triangles.
Tracy Angel: Huh....
Iroha Angel: ...That's true isn't it?

Good News Gary: GOOD NEWS!
Makoto Angel: Good News Gary with us today! He's got an announcement to make!
Good News Gary: That's right! EBW has been having a dry spell if you ask me, and I say, it's time....for some RAINS!
Rains came out behind Gary, and he was joined by Danny Leung, Nosan, Manu Kalani, and a smiling bleach blonde guy in blue shorts and an open tropical t-shirt.
Voice Over in the Background: Flood. Flood Generation. Flood. Flood Generation. Flood. Flood Generation. Flood. Flood Generation.
Good News Gary: That's right! We're back with a vengeance baby, and we've even grown into the "Flood Generation". We have Rains, the ultimate power in the ring. The absolute KING! He's the MAN! We have Nosan coming out of semi-retirement to clean up....in the ring! We have Danny Leung, and he promised he's actually....GOING TO TRY!
Danny Leung: Maybe. No promises. I miss you Nani.
Good News Gary: BUT, we're not done yet! We also have a tropical duo! Manu Kalani you already know!
Manu Kalani: Hey man, I'm really excited to heat it up in an EBW ring again. Ya know? I've been training hard at Wuhu Island, working on my tan, drinking some pina coladas with the senioritas on the beach, but it's time to get serious again. Ya know? I just...kind of hope....I'm surfing with the right crowd here.
Good News Gary: You are! You are! I promise! We're not a jobber stable! Don't get so nervous! Last but not least, we have a new comer that we found at a training seminar at Wuhu Island. His carefree attitude and good looks were an instant selling point! This is Scott Free!
Scott Free: I'm just a guy! I l just like Gary! I like hanging out and hanging ten!
Good News Gary: We're the "Flood Generation" baby! GOOD NEWS!
Makoto Angel: Well, there you have it! Uh...cut please?
