“Vo Williams - Unstoppable”





Larry Grim: Welcome to River City, where tonight, it becomes RUMBLE CITY! It’s the annual event to see who is tough enough, and who is hungry enough to go for the gold IN THE DOME at Victory Explosion 17! Last year, we saw Jammer claw his way out of a cage to face Tack Angel, the heroic ACE who happily accepted the friendly challenge, and the two put on a show stopper. This year, the rules are different, and the stakes are high. Who is going to emerge from the men’s and women’s Rumble City matches as the last ones standing.

Apple Kid: Last ones? Last ones? One is singular. I don’t like that phrasing.

Tommy Dukes: It’s technically accurate, but still quite annoying.

Larry Grim: The last man and the last woman standing?
 
Apple Kid: Much better.

Nerma: Don’t feed into their insanity skeleton man, because tonight, the insanity is in the ring. We have the Rumble Matches, and we have the MCW World Tag Team Championships on the line! We have the MCW World Championship on the line! Where’s YOUR champ? She’s in Rumble City, but OUR champ is going to defend against Paula in a STEEL CAGE!

Apple Kid: Someone should make a steel out of tungsten.

Tommy Dukes: You know I was thinking that myself?

Apple Kid: I really missed you man.

Tommy Dukes: I missed you too.

Apple Kid: Look, I made you a sandwich.

Tommy Dukes: You made me a sandwich?

Apple Kid: ….Y-yeah.

Tommy Dukes: You made me…a sandwich?

Apple Kid: Yeah, it’s right over here. It’s ready to go.

Tommy Dukes: Can I see?

Apple Kid: Yeah, it’s right here.

Tommy Dukes: *sniff* You made that for me?

Apple Kid: *sniff* Yeah, that’s for you.

Tommy Dukes: Can I take a bite?

Apple Kid: Take a bite man.

Tommy Dukes: …That’s DELICIOUS man!

Apple Kid: I love you dude! That’s for you dude!

Tommy Dukes: I love you man!

Apple Kid: I love you!

Larry Grim: ….So we have the women’s trip to Rumble City first up, and it’s going to be dooooozy!

Nerma: You act like I’ve never made you a sandwich Tommy! I’VE MADE YOU A SANDWICH! *clears throat* Those two knuckleheads are bro’ing it up like they haven’t seen each other in years, even though they work together AND share discord for D&D games, but whatever! Whatever! We’re gonna see EBW and MCW talent go to war here, and it all starts with Real M’s heading to the ring! She’s getting a huge reaction to boot!




Nerma: Big reaction, as this could be a historic moment for M’s, who comes in at number one. If she’s the last woman standing here, well just solidifies her legacy at the best of the best, and I’m here for it.

Tommy Dukes: We’re here to call the action Nerma. I don’t-

Nerma: Just eat your sandwich Tommy.

1. Women’s Rumble City Match: Real M’s<MCW> vs. Rhea Rampage<MCW> vs. Alison Chains vs. Christina Angel vs. Tiger Storm<MCW> vs. Darkness Aoi vs. Alere Little Feather<MCW> vs. Wendy Mustang vs. Hilda Iceheart vs. Lainey Strong vs. Mitra Lennox vs. Heather Mach<MCW> vs. Kat Leroux<MCW> vs. Linda Dallas<MCW> vs. Cherry Akintola vs. Rei Hino vs. Usagi Tsukino vs. Ami Mizuno vs. Minako Aino vs. Erica
-The match began with M’s and Rhea circling the two rings, getting the fans fired up, but actually killing time until the next entrant came out, which turned out to be Alison Chains. They didn’t want to attack her either, so they all circled the rings in jest, treating the situation as a comedy, until Christina Angel came out. It immediately became apparent that the tag champs of both companies were now in Rumble City, and quickly jumped into action. Christina was fighting off both M’s and Rhea, as Alison sort of jumped around, and teetered on the end of the ropeless rings for fun. Tiger Storm changed everything, by running in and jumping Christina and Alison. She demanded that Real Rush join forces with her against EBW, but they both battered her and nearly threw her out, but Alison jumped in the way to catch her for reasons she didn’t even know. Darkness Aoi ran out to attack Tiger Storm, and the two went wild, as the EBW and MCW tag teams continued to fight. Alere Little Feather was next. She didn’t have ties to anyone in the ring, and took turns taking shots at everyone, until she was blindsided by the next entrant in Wendy Mustang, who plastered her with a Lariat, and sent her out, getting the first elimination. She’d get the second elimination as well, as she knocked Hilda out almost as soon as she got in. This brought out Lainey Strong next, and she and Wendy smiled before taking it to everyone else. M’s and Rhea had a major break as they worked together to toss out the next entrant Mitra Lennox, who Aoi had been counting on to help her out. They looked at each other, as Tiger Storm ran into M’s who knocked into Rhea, nearly eliminating her. M’s didn’t try very hard to pull her to safety either, which caused the two to start arguing, but they shook it off to duck as Heather Mach jumped into the ring to keep M’s and Rhea on their toes. Kat Leroux and Linda Dallas were the next ones in, and tried to get to Alison Chains, but she suddenly tripped on the mat, and the two fell out on their own. They were even more confused when Alison left the ring of her own volition, to chase a butterfly that wasn’t there. Cherry Akintola entered next, but wasn’t in long before Christina Angel sent her packing, who was nearly eliminated by Rhea, but fought her off with a head kick. She turned to see M’s, who just sort of laughed at Rhea and laid elbows into Tack’s daughter. The Sailor Scouts all came in next one after another sans Makoto, but they were dismantled by Real M’s, Rhea, and Wendy Mustang. Tiger Storm took out Darkness Aoi, and then eliminated Lainey Strong, only to eat a big Hagen from Wendy that sent Aoi to the outside where Tiger Storm continued to attack. As M’s eliminated Minako to Apple Kid’s cries of agony, Kelly Steel climbed in through the crowd and pulled Heather Mach out of the rings before smashing her in the head with an electric guitar. Somewhere in the back Geoff Garrett perked up. Erica finally made her way out, and the rings full of combatants parted as she came in, until M’s jumped in to take shots at her. They fought back and forth as Rhea managed to take out Ami. It was coming down to the wire, as M’s, Rhea, Christina, Wendy Mustang, and Erica were the last five in the match. One and two were still in it, though communication was breaking down and they finally turned on each other. They hit each other hard and eliminated each other from the match. Erica whipped Wendy, who seemed to be falling out of the rings. Christina and Erica had a little vintage clash themselves, but Erica is different these days, and bit into Christina and chucked her out of the ring, celebrating her win with a little blood on her lips. However, she didn’t notice that Wendy Mustang had stayed into the ring, and the crowd went wild as the cowgirl blasted the Women’s World Champion with a hard Lariat to knock her out of the ring. Wendy Mustang with the win!
Winner: Wendy Mustang by last eliminating Erica

Nerma: Wow! I didn’t see that coming! Wendy Mustang just floored Erica at the moment of her supposed victory! So much to unpack here, but one thing is for certain, Wendy Mustang just broke through to earn a title shot at Victory Explosion! Lainey Strong, her Twin Lariats tag partner is coming back out to celebrate with her. The former Women’s World Tag Team Champion now has a shot at the big time baby.

Tommy Dukes: History in the making there. The first Rumble City match, and she won it.

Larry Grim: Erica eliminated the favorite Christina Angel, but she didn’t count on Wendy having incredible balance there. The EBW Women’s World Champion wanted to win, possibly to challenge Tracy for her title.

Nerma: Would never happen. Pirkle wouldn’t allow it. He’s a stick in the mud and creatively bankrupt, but he pays really well, and he’s a swell guy once you get to know him.

Larry Grim: Really?

Nerma: No…not really.

Apple Kid: I couldn’t believe that Minako didn’t win! No particular reason, it was just surprising to me. What was more surprising was that Kelly Steel showed up to yank Heather Mach out of the ring. She wasn’t even in the match!

Nerma: Heather might be able to challenge this decision based on that, but who knows. As of right now Wendy Mustang just punched her ticket. Smashing through that ceiling as it were. Tiger Storm meanwhile made sure Darkness Aoi was nowhere near the title, and we all saw Alison Chains leave the ring on her own right?

Larry Grim: She just…uh…wandered off.

Nerma: Well we’re not wandering off. We’re focusing, as a downtrodden Real M’s is limping to the back. She and Rhea got heated in Rumble City, but they have to team up to defend the MCW tag belts against Bad Vibes tonight.

Larry Grim: Moving onto the next match, we'll see Hope Mach in a grudge match, that she chose to focus on instead of Rumble City. She goes against Siren, the deaf Eagleland Gladiator with a chip on her shoulder regarding Hope.

2. Women’s Singles: Hope Mach vs. Siren
-Hope Mach and the Eagleland Gladiator Siren clashed in a mat classic. The powerful and impressive looking Siren wasn’t the trained athlete that Hope was, but Siren was stronger, and she showed it on the mat. Stretching and putting the hurt on Hope, the veteran Olympic level star was on the ropes at the start, but once she’d seen all Siren had to offer, she out worked her on the mat and finally trapped her in the Lebell Lock. Many have tapped to the Lock before, but Siren held on, reaching for the ropes until the referee had to call for the stoppage.
Winner: Hope Mach via Lebell Lock -> Referee Stoppage

Tommy Dukes: And that’s a win for Hope Mach!

Apple Kid: Yep!

Tommy Dukes: She’s helping Siren to her feet like a good sport.

Apple Kid: She sure is!

Tommy Dukes: By the way, that last match had some sponsors. Let me just run them down really quick! That was our Tampax to the Max match of the night!

Nerma: WHAT?!

Tommy Dukes: Uh…yeah. Tampax was the sponsor.

Apple Kid: The fine fine folks at Tampax. Helping you relax when Mother Nature attacks your slacks!

Nerma: EXCUSE ME?!

Tommy Dukes: Knick knacks, paddy whacks, stop your flow with Tampax!

Nerma: ….How did it come to this?

Apple Kid: I think the people at Tampax pulled some strings and SPEAKING of pulling strings, Tamp-

Nerma: THAT’S ENOUGH! It’s embarrassing! That’s bush league.

Tommy Dukes: Well honey-

Nerma: Don’t you DARE make a bush joke!

Tommy Dukes: I was gonna say that we have another sponsor after this next match from the men!

Nerma: Oh. Oh good. Maybe some of you can be humiliated next then.

Larry Grim: Afterall, isn’t that what EBW is all about? Rumble City rumbles on next, as Bashin Dan and Jammer take on Seto Kaiba and Jaden Yuki! Here comes Jaden, and here comes the rap!

Jaden Yuki: ♫ Yo listen up Dan Club, It’s Jaden Yuki GX, gonna make Jam and Dan my new test subjects. So listen up, here it is, the awesome battle I suggested, you’re gonna put the wringer really tested. Look at me here with the King of the Game, the rest of your players are just straight up lame. ♫

3. Tag: Bashin Dan/Jammer vs. Seto Kaiba/Jaden Yuki
-Tag team action was up next, as Dan and Jammer took on Seto Kaiba and Jaden Yuki, although it was more Kaiba letting Jaden do his dirty work. Jammer was livid, wanting a piece of the traitorous Jaden Yuki, and they opened the match with a fierce barrage. Every time Dan tagged in, Jaden ran defense keeping Seto Kaiba free to toy with Dan and only get in the ring with Jammer when he felt like it. That was until Jaden played his trap card. Jammer tagged out to Dan and Kaiba tried to tag out to Jaden, but Jaden jumped off the side of the ring. He grabbed up Seto’s Blue Eyes White Dragon card, and gave Dan the thumbs up, as Seto Kaiba turned around to see the smirking Dangerous Player. A kick to the mid-section, and Dan hit the Brave Clash on the leader of Kaiba Corp. to stun him for the 1-2-3. Bashin Dan and Jammer with the win, and Jaden Yuki with the swerve!
Winners: Bashin Dan[o]/Jammer via Brave Clash on Seto Kaiba -> Pin

Larry Grim: Wow! Didn’t see that coming! Dan was playing the long game here! Jaden was still with the Dan Club the whole time?!

Nerma: It appears that way. He knew he couldn’t get Kaiba in the ring otherwise, but not only did he get that, but Jaden ran off with the only Blue Eyes White Dragon left in the world! That thing has got to be worth…maybe hundreds? Cards don’t go for what they used to. Still, Kaiba seems upset about it, as Razorblade, Hazen, and Rude try to get him out of the ring and the arena. Moving on though, I think it’s time for our next sponsor right? Lay it on me. Time for your taste of medicine. Hehe.

Apple Kid: The sponsor for this match is…Vape Brand Maxi Pads!

Nerma: WHAT?!

Apple Kid: When you have your monthly boo boo, put one of these near your hoo hoo!

Nerma: ARG!

Tommy Dukes: It’s the downstairs patch for your baby hatch!

Nerma: I’M GONNA KILL THAT VAPE!

Apple Kid: The product is great, it’s simply divina! You’ll have one happy and healthy vagin-

Nerma: Don’t finish that one! DO NOT FINISH IT! It’s not the products that are the problem! It’s the taglines, and the way YOU GUYS are saying them. Let me handle the next set.

Tommy Dukes: Sure thing honey pop.

Nerma: Up next, we have MCW matches people, and for those, things are gonna get a little different!

Larry Grim: Present tense.

Apple Kid: Huh?

Larry Grim: Nothing.

Nerma: Language, carnage, and violence. I’d say viewer discretion and junk, but if you got your little tiny kids watching EBW or MCW by now, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

4. MCW World Tag Team Championship: Real M’s<MCW>(c)/Rhea Rampage<MCW>(c) vs. Ariel<MCW>/Rayne<MCW>
-Even before this match had begun, Real Rush was at a disadvantage from already working almost the entire Rumble City match from start to finish earlier.  Exhaustion was already setting in for both Real M's and Rhea Rampage and Mr. Pirkle obviously knew this. That is why he wanted the MCW Tag Team Title match tonight at Rumble City. And his so-called chosen champions, Bad Vibes, took the opportunity to exploit that in this match. Bad Vibes controlled most of the match, isolating and beating down Real M's constantly while bad mouthing her and talking trash like the mean girls they are. But the trash talking seemed to fire up Real M's and she started to fight back more and more. Eventually she fought them off enough to make the tag to Rhea Rampage. And Rhea, like her namesake, went on the proverbial rampage, on both Rayne and Ariel. Rhea then hit a huge scoop slam on Rayne and made the tag to Real M's. Rhea then held off Ariel as Real M's went to the top rope for the Hail to the King (Macho Man style Flying Elbow). M's made the cover, 1....2....THR-NOOOO! That damn CARMA, who had ran out from the crowd, now pulls the referee outside the ring! The 4th member of Elysium has finally made her debut and presence felt in EBW!  Carma begins trash talk both Rhea and M's from ringside. The pissed off Rhea has heard enough of her and begins to chase her around the ringside area. As Rhea does, Ariel nails her in the head with the one of the MCW Tag Team Championship belts! Rhea is out cold on the outside. This left Real M's alone in the ring with Rayne and Ariel in a two-on-one situation. Real M's refused to go down without a fight and a fight it was. But eventually the odds overwhelmed her allowing Rayne and Ariel to set up and nail her with the Bad Ending (Magic Killer)! Rayne then made the cover as Carma threw the ref back into the ring. The ref then counted 1.....2.....3! BAD VIBES ARE THE NEW MCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! No thanks to Carma. Carma now hands the belts to Rayne and Ariel and all three now celebrate in the ring together. Elysium stands tall once again. "PARADISE" ACHIEVED!
Winners: Ariel/Rayne[o] via Bad Ending[Magic Killer] on Real M’s -> Pin -> NEW MCW World Tag Team Champions!

Nerma: Carma is here, and she’s just helped secure the win for Bad Vibes. They have given Real M’s a Bad Ending for the night literally. M’s and Rhea were not always on the same page, and now they’re really not. Rhea seems very upset, and M’s can not believe her luck. That’s two matches she was on the cusp of winning, and the rug was pulled out from under her. Great to see her competing twice in one night, but Pirkle’s plan paid off, and you can even see him laughing up in the VIP Box. Tracy WAS up there earlier, but she’s getting ready for her next big match, as the cage is being constructed around the ring. Larry is gonna try to get a word with Real Rush. Let’s check it out.

Larry Grim: M’s! M’s! Rhea! Wait! How do you-

Real M’s: Not happening.

Rhea Rampage: You heard her.

Larry Grim: Oh…well…there we go.

Nerma: Boy he…uh…folded like a lawn chair. Wow, they got that cage set up quickly!

Tommy Dukes: That’s the Black Shirt Security for ya. They are terrible at their actual jobs though. Speaking of which, here’s a IN MEMORIAL for all the Black Shirts we’ve lost so fa-

Nerma: WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THAT! Tracy is putting the MCW World Championship on the line against Paula right here and right now! Tommy, say the thing!

Tommy Dukes: LET’S TAKE IT TO THE RING!

Nerma: That’s the stuff!

5. MCW World Championship Cage: Tracy<MCW>(c) vs. Paula<MCW>
-The months of heated frustration have culminated in this climax here tonight. Two women with a storied past locked in a steel cage for the biggest prize in women's wrestling, MCW World Championship. Tracy wasted no time in the trash talking, but Paula was having none of it. Paula charges Tracy, who was in the corner and begins to just hammer the crap out of her. There is nowhere for Tracy to escape Paula's wrath now. And Paula knows this fact and is gonna take full advantage of it. Tracy immediately tries to climb out of the cage, but Paula just calmly drags back down into the ring. Tracy now begs off from Paula, but Paula just flips her off instead. Paula now throws Tracy face first into each side of the steel cage. Tracy was now busted open as a result. Paula now grinds Tracy's face into the steel mesh of the cage. Paula now walks over and opens the door. Paula is about to exit the cage and wins this match pretty quickly, but the bloody Tracy flips off Paula in the center of the ring instead. Paula just smirks and called out for somebody to give her a "FUCKING STEEL CHAIR!" And ringside crew member obliges and Paula reenters the cage with it. Paula now bad mouths Tracy, yelling "YOU WANT THIS, BITCH?!" Paula then raises the steel chair over her head for the killing blow, but Tracy just smirks and throws powder in the eyes of Paula instead! The trap was set and sprung by Tracy! The now blinded Paula drops the steel chair and falls to her hands and knees, trying to regain her vision. Tracy now picks up the chair, raises it high over her head, and brings it down hard across the exposed back of Paula. Paula rolls around in the ground before Tracy just hammers Paula more with a series of hard chair shots all over Paula's prone body! Tracy then puts the edge of the chair against Paula's throat, choking as she bad mouths her more, yelling at her to "GIVE THE FUCK UP!" But the defiant Paula instead just flips off Tracy again and spits in her face. Tracy just smirks and drives the edge of the steel chair repeatedly into ribs and midsection of Paula. The chair is now warped beyond use at this point. Tracy now begins to walk towards the door to exit the cage, but Paula grabs her legs from behind, refusing to stay down and give up. Tracy just shakes her head in disbelief as she lifts Paula up by her hair. Tracy then tells her "FINE! HAVE IT YOUR WAY, BITCH!" Tracy now rams Paula's face and head into the far side of the steel chair. Paula is now busted open, as result. Tracy now just hammers away at the bloody Paula with stiff shots to the head. Tracy now begins to paint push Paula across her bloody face, yelling at her to "JUST FUCKING DIE!" But Paula refuses the order and manages to slap the shocked Tracy weakly across her face in defiance. Tracy just shakes her head and stomps prone Paula repeatedly, before going for the Perfect 10 (Lionsault). But all Tracy finds are Paula's knees instead. Paula now struggles to get to her feet, but still can't get up as Tracy rolls around, clutching her ribs! It was during the time, CHRISTY ANGEL made her way down to ringside and began cheering on Paula, yelling for her "FIGHT BACK!" and "YOU GOT THIS!" from outside of the steel cage. This encouragement was all Paula needed to get back to kip back up to her feet! Paula now demands Tracy to face her in the center of the ring one more time. Tracy obliges and both now trade hard forearms in the ring, Paula yelling at Tracy ‘BRING IT, BITCH!" with each strike. Paula now unleashes a flurry of shots to Tracy, staggering her more. Paula now delivers an atomic drop to Tracy from behind, followed by an inverted one from the front.  Paula now nails Tracy with a Russian Leg Sweep and goes up to the middle rope. Paula now measures Tracy and nails her right in her bloody face with the second rope forearm smash! Paula now signals for the killing blow and measures Tracy for the PSY Kick (Sweet Chin Music)! Paula goes for the kick, but Tracy catches the leg and spins Paula around and goes for a WKO, but Paula throws her off! Tracy now charges back at Paula and right into the PSY Kick! Tracy is out cold as Paula falls to her knees and then to the mat in exhaustion, as well. Christy Angel now opens the cage door and yells at Paula to crawl through it and win the MCW World Championship. As Paula slowly crawls for the door, Tracy begins to stir and slowly climb over the top of the cage on the other side. It's a race to the finish, the first to escape will win the match and it seems like Paula is gonna beat Tracy out! BUT NO! Christy Angel slams the steel door right in Paula's bloody face instead! Paula is now out cold as Tracy manages to climb over the top of the cage and drop to the floor first! TRACY WINS! The bloody Tracy now falls to the ground on the outside, clutching her MCW World Championship, like it's her life saving vital organ! On the other side of the cage, Christy Angel continues to smile and laugh at the unconscious Paula in the ring, happy with what she has done here tonight. BUT WHY?! WHY CHRISTY ANGEL WHY?!
Winner: Tracy via Cage Escape -> Title Defense!

Nerma: WHAT?! Christy just…she just…WOW!

Larry Grim: Christy was being mentored by Paula right? Is she a member of Elysium now? So many questions!

Nerma: Tracy retains, but Paula could not have been more close to finally becoming a World Champion. I’d ask what she has to be thinking about that betrayal, but I don’t think she’s thinking about very much right now. Christina can be seen in the back watching on very confused,  while Tack Angel and Makoto Angel are having to do the whole stress breathing thing. It’s something that can be worked out later, cause they need to focus. Up next, they’re taking on Kishin Kid and the EBW Women’s World Champion Erica. She’s not MY World Champion, but she’s dangerous. We already know that Wendy Mustang might be meeting her at Victory Explosion, but then again she might pick Tracy. Who knows. I THINK it’s up for gra- no…I’m being told no. Pirkle is SHOUTING in my ear, that no fun is allowed. Wendy Mustang will be facing Erica in the Dome. Let’s see how she does tonight!

6. Mixed Tag: Tack Angel/Makoto Angel vs. Kishin Kid/Erica
-Mixed tag action saw Tack and Makoto Angel join forces to battle The Stygian Inquisition. Tack was wearing a B4B +1 shirt, while Makoto wore a B4B +1+1 shirt, much to Little Mac’s chagrin, as he came out to corner them in this effort. Makoto wanted a piece first, not just with Erica, but also took a shot at Kishin Kid for kissing her during the match with Erica. The Assessor and The Witness made their way down as the two teams did brutal battle going forward. The Sailors Scouts tried to intervene, but The Assessor turned to them, and they panicked and got to a safe distance. Trevor, Subbie, and Picky helped out though, and drove them back to the stage. Erica attempted to attack Makoto on the outside with one of The Auditor’s pens, but Wendy Mustang appeared to floor her with a Lariat. Kishin Kid missed a big kick off the top, and ate a signature kick from the head kicker himself, as Tack CLUTCHED the WRIST to send Kishin to the mat with the Angel Driver. 1-2-3!
Winners: Tack Angel[o]/Makoto Angel via Wrist Clutch Angel Driver on Kishin Kid -> Pin

Apple Kid: YES! Makoto!

Larry Grim: Out Mako-Chan and Tack get the victory, and some payback on The Stygian Inquisition. Impressive display from the husband and wife, and good to see the show of force on the outside, dealing with the fiendish group from Hell.

Nerma: And now it’s MY turn to do the next ad. I’m really gonna get you guys with this one. That last match was brought to you by….*sigh* KY Jelly. No foreplay today? That’s OK, with KY Jelly.

Apple Kid: …Is that all it say-

Nerma: No! I’ll finish it! Umm…protect her from your girth…with the greatest lube on Earth.

Apple Kid: Teehee!

Tommy Dukes: *snicker*

Larry Grim: *bones rattling*

Nerma: When you’re seeing sparks where your penis parks. I don’t…want to do this anymore.

Tommy Dukes: I’ll do the next one! Vape Brand Vaginal Cream! When there’s something fungal in your lady jungle, just-

Nerma: NO! MOVING ON!

Larry Grim: The EBW World Championship match is up next, as Zyro Kurogane, the new leader of Samurai Ifrit, and the World Champion, takes on w00t, who nabbed the title from Trevor Mach at New Year Rising, only to lose it to Zyro-K on Xcite. He claimed that was the plan, but he fought to keep it, and now the gloves are off. An unhinged w00t has been pacing around the arena all day, but now he’s ready to take on Zyro-K. HERE WE GO!

7. EBW World Championship: Zyro Kurogane(c) vs. w00t
-w00t didn’t come out for his entrance, but attacked Zyro-K as the champ made his way down. He dragged him to the ring, and tried to plaster a Perfection shirt on him, saying that they were still on the same team. Zyro-K tossed the shirt, and threw a shot at w00t to start the match officially. Kurogane sent w00t to ringside early in the match. Kurogane went to the apron for a move, but w00t hit a thumb to the eye. w00t took advantage of the distraction by sweeping the leg of Kurogane. Kurogane put w00t down and called out his new team name while standing on the ropes. Kurogane went for a double stomp, but w00t avoided it. w00t set up for a move, but Kurogane countered into a trailer hitch. w00t barely made it to the ropes. Later, Kurogane threw three running kicks at w00t and was unable to knock him off the apron. Kurogane went for a suplex, but Tracy ran out and tripped the leg of Kurogane, so w00t fell on top of him and got a near fall. w00t threw a knee to the head and then attempted the wKo, but Kurogane avoided the finishing move. Kurogane threw a kick at w00t and then went up top and called out Samurai Ifrit again before performing a double stomp for a near fall. Kurogane followed up with a brainbuster for another near fall.Kurogane put w00t in an ankle lock. w00t rolled over and then threw kicks at Kurogane, who caught his leg and countered into a Dusty Dunes Cloverleaf. w00t screamed at Zyro-K to let him go, and that he wanted to apologize, and make it alright. Zyro-K actually did let him go and helped him up, but when he was standing, w00t looked at the title, and suddenly snapped again, trying to hit the wKo. Kurogane saw it coming and blocked it, before transitioning into the Straight Jacket Hagen in the center of the ring. Tracy wasn't able to grab w00t's hand, and the ref counted the pin.
Winner: Zyro Kurogane via Straight Jacket Hagen -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Larry Grim: Zyro-K with the win! He didn’t even ask Mike and son to come out, the NEW World Tag Team Champions both having a chance to win Rumble City. The men’s match is going to close out our show tonight, but first I have to say that was an impressive win for Zyro.

Apple Kid: He’s not exactly a hero to the people, but he fought off the shenanigans to win this one. w00t was not firing on all cylinders as you could see. He is leaving the match, shouting that he has no choice. I’ve never seen him like this before! He’s losing it!

Larry Grim: Well, as long as he loses it away from the rings? The ropes are being taken down again for the next bout, our main event for the evening. It’s the men’s trip to Rumble City. A Mach opened the show, and a Mach will end the show perhaps as Trevor Mach makes his way out in the first position. He is about to be joined by the debuting hot shot from Dalaam. He is “THE FIRE” Rama Raju!




Tommy Dukes: And here he comes!

Nerma: The people are excited, and Mach looks to be too. They can’t wait to see what this guy brings to the table! The Fire of Dalaam is burning bright in River City tonight, and he looks READY TO RUMBLE!

Tommy Dukes: LET’S TAKE IT TO THE RING!

8. Men’s Rumble City Match: Trevor Mach vs. Rama Raju[Debut] vs. Bashin Dan vs. Benjamin vs. Jammer vs. Vape vs. Hazen vs. Razorblade vs. Sal Paradise vs. Rude vs. Jason Boomtown vs. Magnum PT vs. The Assessor vs. The Witness vs. Mike Thunder vs. Point Man vs. Isiah Muscle vs. Turbo vs. Pucky vs. Tower vs. Rains vs. Viper vs. Picky Minch vs. Kishin Kid vs. Laser vs. Subculture vs. Sabre vs. Tack Angel
-The Bad Man and The Fire stood facing each other, with Mach throwing the first punch, but Rama blocked it. Trevor went to throw his left, but that was blocked too. Mach smirked and head butt Rama, which he didn’t see coming, but he fired one back, and hit a kick that nearly sent Mach out of the ring. Rama jumped up to attack, but Trevor took him to the mat with a Spinebuster. Rama put him in the Triangle Choke, but Trevor lifted him up and nearly tossed him out of the ring. Trevor laughed as the two rushed back into the center of the two rings to clash. Bashin Dan joined them, but he was jumped by Seto Kaiba before hitting the ring. Benji came in in his place instead, and hit a Spear to Rama Raju, who ate it and kipped back up to eat a knee from Trevor, nearly falling out of the ring. Jammer came in next, and he and Benji had their hands full as Trevor and Rama fought back to back momentarily to hold off Dan Club. Vape came in next, but Trevor kneed him immediately out of the ring. Hazen attacked Dan on the way to the rings to keep him down and joined the action. Razorblade tried to do the same, but Dan battered him and tossed him in and finally joined the action himself. Sal and Rude helped fill the ring up, but Benji and Hazen would soon be exiting, as Benji hit the Spear so hard on the big man, he fell out as well, even with Jammer trying to pull him back in in time. Jason Boomtown helped Sal, but Trevor and Raju were ready to head them off, though a fun little vintage moment with Trevor and Sal locking up. Rama Raju hit a shotgun dropkick that sent Boomtown out of the ring, as Dan knocked Rude out of the other ring at the same time. Magnum PT entered the ring and fired off shots at Razorblade after costing him the TV title on Neon Nights. Trevor and Rama Raju fought through the growing mass of fighters to clash again, as The Assessor hit the ring and floored them both with a big double clothesline. The Witness and Mike Thunder joined in just as PT threw Razor out of the ring, and Jammer did the same to Rude. Trevor and Raju hit a knee/kick combo that sent The Assessor out, and The Witness was stopped from attacking them by Dan, but Mike Thunder had no trouble blindsiding Trevor. However, as he tried to suplex Raju, the Dalaam man countered and dropped him hard onto the mat. Point Man and Isiah Muscle added to the mass of combatants, and it lead to Point Man and PT falling out, but not before taking Mike Thunder out with them. This angered Isiah, who made a rookie mistake and turned his back as Trevor, Raju, Dan, and Jammer all forced him out together. The Witness then grabbed onto Jammer, and the two spilled out in an instant. Sal wanted to lock up with Rama Raju, but Turbo of the Gladiators began their invasion into the match and stood in his way. They locked horns while Trevor and Raju continued their one upmanship. Pucky, Tower, and Rains, were the next ones out, with Tower and Turbo immediately using their strength and size to send Rains right back out. When Viper joined them, the Glads began to batter the competition. Trevor and Viper faced off in a heated fight, while Raju narrowly escaped a double attack from the Gladiator TnT duo. At one point, everyone in the ring targeted Raju, and dog piled him. As they did, he kept his cool as he punched and kicked his way out, and eliminated some names in the process. Trevor got much needed back up with Picky in the ring, but Kishin Kid and The Witness both brought barbed wire to the occasion, and made it a bloody mess. Technically legal in Rumble City. Laser helped the Glads maintain dominance, while Subculture tried to counter that, and Sabre countered it right back. The favorite to win, Tack Angel hit the match throwing kicks and controlling the situation, getting Viper eliminated quickly. He then took out The Witness, before facing off with Kishin Kid all over again. Eliminations started coming in, as Blood 4 Blood and the Glads faced mutually assured destruction. In the end the remaining five were Trevor Mach, Rama Raju, Tower, Kishin Kid and Tack Angel. Tower had Trevor and Raju both by the throat, but Tack kicked him in the mid-section, and sent him to the outside. Trevor landed in the ring, while Raju rolled off the edge, but held onto the railing outside of the ring. His feet did not touch the ground. Tack went after Kishin, but the Kid low blowed him, and threw a fire ball in his face. The downward-upward momentum in quick succession sent Tack to the outside, but as Kishin looked up from the fire ball, Trevor SMASHED into his with a Knee Trigger that sent him to the outside as well. As Trevor was about to celebrate, he turned just in time to see Raju jump back into the ring, and he landed a kick that sent the Bad Man stumbling back and out of the ring, right onto Tack who yelled out “OH COME ON!” Rama Raju won his debut match and immediately finds himself in the main event of Victory Explosion 17!
Winner: Rama Raju by last eliminating Trevor Mach!

Tommy Dukes: UNREAL!

Apple Kid: RAMA RAJU!

Nerma: The new guy?! He won his first match! He won the title shot! Rama Raju is going to THE DOME?! Victory Explosion 17! He just booked his date with destiny for the World Championship against Zyro Kurogane in his VERY FIRST MATCH!

Larry Grim: AAAAHHHH!!!

Tommy Dukes: This has never happened before! A supernova like never before!

Nerma: Well what IS a supernova, BUT FIRE! “THE FIRE” burns brightly at Rumble City, as Trevor Mach laughs and applauds while Tack is begging him to get off of him. Incredible. What a night!

Larry Grim: Folks, this is it! The quest to the DOME begins NOW!

*We open to a peaceful green field peppered with happy little white flowers. The sun shines bright from above, as well. Real M's lays on her back in the field, resting in a state of tranquil bliss. She now thinks to herself....*

Real M's: So fucking peaceful. I could stay here forever, I think.

*The sound of two young children laughing now fills the air, breaking the calm. Real M's now sits up suddenly and says to herself....*

Real M's: Justice? Truth?

*Real M's now stands up and begins to wander through the green field of white flowers, looking for her two kids. Her two kids laughter suddenly turns to blood curdling screams of terror. Real M's now begins to run through the field as she shouts.....*

Real M's: JUSTICE?! TRUTH?! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?!

*As Real M's continues to search, the green field of white flowers slowly grows taller and taller until it is all above Real M's head and she can't anything else in front of her. The screams of her two kids now grow silent without warning, as the once bright peaceful sky turns dark and uninviting. Real M's now screams out in panic as she now sprints through the overgrown field.....*

Real M's: OH MY GOD! NOOOOOOO!

*Then in almost an instant without warning, the overgrown field comes to an abrupt end and Real M's barely has time to react as she reaches the edge of a steep cliff side. Real M's tries to stop herself as she screams out....*

Real M's: OH SHIT! AHHHHHHHHHH!

*Real M's now tumbles head over heels down the steep cliff in very painful looking fashion. She comes to stop at the bottom, laying flat on her back and looking rather roughed up. Real M's now just lays there, saying to herself....*

Real M's: GODDAMN IT! MOTHER FUCKER.....

*Real M's now just closes her eyes slowly as we fade out from there.*

EMT Side Entrance, Sin City General Hospital - Sin City, Eagleland

*We now open to a very different and much more chaotic scene than before. A stretcher is now shown being wheeled rather quickly into the hospital at a brisk pace. Several members of the medical staff are now beginning to gather around and follow it. The older Head Nurse with graying blond hair now shouts to the Head Paramedic....*

Head Nurse: IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?!

Head Paramedic: YES! IT IS HER!

Head Nurse: DAMN! SO THE REPORTS ARE TRUE?!

Head Paramedic: I AM AFRAID SO! And if you ask me, she is damn lucky to be alive too.

Head Nurse: OH MY GOD!

*The Head Nurse now stops in a state of shock and the Head Paramedic now shouts at her quickly as they head down the hospital's main hall and disappear into it's Operating Wing....*

Head Paramedic: GODDAMN IT! THERE IS NO TIME FOR PANIC NOW! PLEASE GO AND TELL THE FRONT DESK TO CALL DOCTOR DEGREES IMMEDIATELY! WE NEED HIM HERE NOW!

*The Head Nurse now manages gather her composure again and nods her head and she runs back towards the Front Desk area of the Hospital. She now yells to herself.....*

Head Nurse: RIGHT! YOU CAN DO THIS! COME ON, MOVE YOUR ASS!

Surgery Room #3, Sin City General Hospital - Sin City, Eagleland

*Back in the Operating Wing, the stretcher had already made it's way into Surgery Room #3 and the Paramedics were already beginning to prep the patient for emergency surgical procedures. The Head Nurse from earlier now runs into the room and informs the Head Paramedic after the other paramedics leave the room.....*

Head Nurse: DOCTOR DEGREES IS ON HIS WAY!

*The Head Paramedic now tells the Nurse....*

Head Paramedic: Thank you for your assistance, Nurse.....

Head Nurse: Cunningham, sir.

Head Paramedic: Right. So how long until Doctor Degrees arrives, Nurse Cunningham?

Nurse Cunningham: Two hours, sir.

Head Paramedic: TWO HOURS?!

Nurse Cunningham: He's a very busy man, sir. But it's kind of what you expect from the best.

Head Paramedic: Thank you and I understand. And yes, Doctor Degrees is the best. But....

Nurse Cunningham: But what?

Head Paramedic: But even somebody as good as Doctor Degrees may not be enough to save her.....

Nurse Cunningham: Don't worry sir, I have faith she'll live through this.

Head Paramedic: OH.....NO! That's not what I meant.

Nurse Cunningham: What do you mean?

Head Paramedic: Well.....she is a very strong woman and one hell of a stubborn fighter, so the living part is not what I am worried about.

Nurse Cunningham: Oh really?

Head Paramedic: Yes. It's the....complications.

Nurse Cunningham: Complications?

Head Paramedics: I don't want shout them out right here and now. It's still confidential. So come here.....

*Nurse Cunningham nods her head and walks over closer to the Head Paramedic. He now whispers something into her ear. She now gasps in shock and blurts out loud.....*

Nurse Cunningham: OH MY GOD! That is just horrible news!

*The Head Paramedic now silences Nurse Cunningham and tells her sternly....*

Head Paramedic: NOT SO LOUD! Somebody might be hear us.

*Nurse Cunningham nods her head again and apologizes to the Head Paramedic. The Head Paramedic now tells her....*

Head Paramedic: Now if you please Nurse Cunningham, help with the patient. We need to prep her for emergency surgery and quickly.

Nurse Cunningham: Right!

*Both the Head Paramedic and Nurse Cunningham now look down at the patient still laying on the stretcher, strapped to it tightly. It none other than Real M's herself. Nurse Cunningham now tells barely conscious Real M's.....*

Nurse Cunningham: If you can still hear me in there, please forgive Tali. Cause this is really gonna hurt a lot.

*The Head Paramedic now unstraps Real M's from the stretcher and grabs her on one end under her arms. He now tells Nurse Cunningham....*

Head Paramedic: Ready?

*Nurse Cunningham now does the same thing on the other end of Real M's, but grabbing her legs. She now takes a deep breath and exhales as she tells him....*

Nurse Cunningham: Ready.

Head Paramedic: Okay, on three. One.....Two......THREE!

*Both the Head Paramedic and Nurse Cunningham now lift Real M's off the stretcher together. But just as Cunningham said, a sharp intense rush of agonizing pain now shoots up through Real M's upper body. Real M's now begins to loudly scream in absolute agony as Nurse Cunningham says out loud.....*

Nurse Cunningham: OH GOD! I AM SO SORRY!

*The Head Paramedic just shakes his head and shouts at Nurse Cunningham...*

Head Paramedic: PUT HER DOWN! OVER HERE!

*The shaken Nurse Cunningham nods her head, before doing as she is told, laying Real M's down on the operating table. As Head Paramedic now tries to stabilize the still struggling and screaming Real M's, he tells Nurse Cunningham....*

Head Paramedic: You did well, Nurse Cunningham.

*Nurse Cunningham finally regains her composure again and tells the Head Paramedic....*

Nurse Cunningham: Thank you, sir.

Head Paramedic: First time dealing with something like this?

*Nurse Cunningham just shakes her head no and tells the Head Paramedic...*

Nurse Cunningham: No. Not at all, sir. It's just that.....

Head Paramedic: Just what?

*Nurse Cunningham now stops and thinks for a moment before telling the Head Paramedic....*

Nurse Cunningham: Nevermind, that's not important right now.

Head Paramedic: If you say so.

Nurse Cunningham: So what happens next, sir?

Head Paramedic: We wait for Doctor Degress to arrive. And pray.

Nurse Cunningham: Pray?

Head Paramedic. Yes. If that is your thing, of course. Pray that he can save her legs.

*Both the Head Paramedic and Nurse Cunningham now leave Surgery Room #3 and now begin to wait for Doctor Degrees to arrive. We now fade out to a close from there.*




*Doctor Degrees now bursts into Surgery Room #3, looking rather disheveled. He looks around at the Head Paramedic and Nurse Cunningham, whom standing by with the rest of the surgical team. His worst fears are then realized as he sees Real M's laying on the operating table. He now say out loud as he approaches....*

Doctor Degrees: DAMN! They were not lying to me. Then I will assume everything is true about the situation?

*Both Nurse Cunningham and the Head Paramedic both nod their heads and the Head Paramedic now tells him....*

Head Paramedic: Yes. Everything.

Doctor Degrees: That is NOT what I wanted to here either.

Head Paramedic: Oh, believe me, I know. You got it from here, Doctor?

*Doctor Degrees nods his head yes and tells the Head Paramedic....*

Doctor Degrees: I think so. You are dismissed, sir.

*Nurse Cunningham now chimes in, as well.....*

Nurse Cunningham: And thanks for all the help as well.

Head Paramedic: No problem at all. It's my job after all.

*Both the Head Paramedic and Nurse Cunningham embrace as Doctor Degrees now begins wash and sanitize his hands as he asks Nurse Cunningham.....*

Doctor Degrees: Nurse Cunningham?

*The Head Paramedic now exits Surgery Room #3, and Nurse Cunningham now turn her attention back to Doctor Degrees....*

Nurse Cunningham: Yes, Doctor?

Doctor Degrees: Are you ready to begin?

Nurse Cunningham: Whenever you are, Doctor.

*Doctor Degrees nods his head and begins to walk back over the Operating table, as he continues....*

Doctor Degrees: Good. Cause there is no time like the present. Let's get started immediately. I'll try my best to save her.

*Nurse Cunningham now tells Doctor Degrees as he puts on his surgical gloves.....*

Nurse Cunningham: Don't try, Doctor Degrees. DO it. For Tali's sake.

*Doctor Degrees just shakes his head, sighs in disbelief, and then says calmly.....*

Doctor Degrees: Right.

*Nurse Cunningham now is seen holding Real M's hand tightly. She now looks into her glazed over eyes and tells her softly.....*

Nurse Cunningham: Hang in there, Tali. Doctor Degrees is gonna fix you up.

*Doctor Degrees just shakes his head in disbelief again and tells Nurse Cunningham....*

Doctor Degrees: Today might not be my day for miracles, Nurse Cunningham. I'll do what I can, here goes nothing.....

*As Doctor Degrees begins to work his "magic" on Real M's, Nurse Cunningham excuses herself from Surgery Room #3 and exits the hospital for a few minutes. Nurse Cunningham now lights a cigarette from a pack in her front coat pocket. As she begins to pace back and fourth while smoking it, she reaches into her pants pocket for something. She now pulls out her cellphone and touched the name "VENUS" on the screen to speed dial it. A few moments later, somebody answers on the other end and Nurse Cunningham puts the call on loud speaker....*

Venus: Hello?

Nurse Cunningham: Hello.....Venus.

Venus: OH! Hello....mother. How are you?

Nurse Cunningham: I am doing just fine, Venus. But Real M's sadly is not. She is here right now at Sin City General Hospital with Doctor Degrees in major emergency surgery.

Venus: OH NO! That's not good news at all. Please give me the FULL details immediately!

*Nurse Cunningham now takes a big drag of her cigarette and slowly blows the smoke out before telling her daughter....*

Nurse Cunningham: Well.....

*The scene now fades out to a final dramatic close from there.*  


 

Ninten: Ninten here, covering this because of several big issues taking place in EBW and MCW alike, but we’ll get to that…no we’ll get to it now. You’ve all heard the news. Tali Mach aka Real M’s is in critical condition, after an accident with her motorcycle. We don’t know the exact severity of the situation, but Kid Cadet isn’t here. Mr. Pirkle and Venus are not around. It’s an all hands on deck problem it seems. I for one wish only the best for the Mach family,and I hope and pray that M’s pulls through. It’s a somber note to start on I know, but if we can try and get back into the swing of things, we had an incredibly eventful Rumble City. w00t failed to recapture his faction, or the World Championship. Christy Angel helped Tracy retain against Paula. Bashin Dan and Jaden Yuki threw down the trap card on Seto Kaiba, and two surprise victors emerged to shatter the status quo. Rama Raju and Wendy Mustang both punched their ticket TO THE DOME, and it’s a huge surprise with Rama Raju considering that was his first match with EBW, he came into Rumble City at #2, and he survived a swarm of athletes, monsters, and gladiators to eliminate the Bad Man himself. The stoic man from Dalaam is already the talk of the wrestling world, and Zyro Kurogane himself is said to be very pleased with the outcome. No comment from Erica yet, but Wendy Mustang has been very very talkative on the subject. She eliminated Erica to win the match, and the two will match up at Victory Explosion 17!

EBW: Victory Explosion 17

1. EBW Women’s World Championship: Erica(c) vs. Wendy Mustang
2. EBW World Championship: Zyro Kurogane(c) vs. Rama Raju

Ninten: And we have some news for Xcite. We’ll kick off the show with the Women’s World Tag Team Championships on the line…the EBW ones obviously. Real Rush might have been expected to get a rematch before….well everything. The Nasty Girlz have um…a LOT of reasons for wanting to get their hands on Alison Chains. Will they take the EBW tag belts to MCW when it relaunches? Yes, I said relaunches, because apparently that might be coming soon. Rumors have been swirling. When they go back to hating on EBW, just remember that we were glad to help them out. *wink* Jason Boomtown and Isiah Muscle will go toe to toe because we know that LoveBoom want another match with Mike and Son for the World Tag Team Championships. The Ensiders will be in action, and seeing people walking around in those “E” shirts…is very intriguing to me personally. Obvious reasons. They don’t like EBW, even though the help like I said before, and they’ll be taking on Aoi, Iceheart, and Lennox. It’s the war Aoi has been warning people about and basically asking for. She’s got it. The war is here. Jaden Yuki fooled Seto Kaiba like I said before, and now he’s got the Blue Eyes White Dragon card. Kaiba is not happy to say the least, and the “King of Games” has sent VBW Champion Razorblade after him, but Swift insisted the title be on the line. If this VBW talent is going to keep working EBW shows, he’s gonna have to put the title on the line. The main event will see Tack Angel, Subculture, and Picky Minch team up to take on Kishin Kid, The Assessor, and The Witness. All of this on a night, where we can hopefully bring you good news of the condition of Tali Mach. We’re sure to also be hearing from Zyro Kurogane, Rama Raju, Wendy Mustang, w00t, and many more. So don’t miss it!

Sin City General Hospital

Hours into the operation on Tali, and Trevor Mach looked into the operating room, as Tali continued to cling onto life. A tear streamed down his face, as he heard the machines beeping erratically. Her vitals were slipping yet again. Now matter how many times he heard it, it felt like he was dying too. He clutched his chest, and calmed his breathing, until the beeping returned to normal.


"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"



Tommy Dukes: We’re home in Renegade Arena! We’re in Saturn City, just blocks away from the DOME that will house Victory Explosion 17! We’re here….for XCITE! Yes, it’s me Tommy Dukes, and no this isn’t XP! We’re mixing it up this week, with me, Apple Kid, and Makoto Angel. Larry Grim has the honor of calling the action with my lovely wife on XP this week, and I wish him luck. She’s….well she’s a powder keg. Keep her away from the “matches” if you catch my drift. Love ya honey!

Apple Kid: Well we wish Larry luck on that, but we have a more serious matter to open the show with don’t we? I shouldn’t be the one to handle it. It’s me after all.

Makoto Angel: I’ll take care of it. Tali Mach aka Real M’s was involved in a very serious motorcycle accident after Rumble City, and he condition is still critical. Trevor Mach will not be here tonight for obvious reasons, and neither will former EBW Women’s World Champion Hope Mach. If we get any updates, we’ll let you know. I was there personally. It’s a tense situation. I think we should give them privacy. I know that’s not how anything works anymore, but I’d appreciate it if we tried.

Tommy Dukes: Well then, let’s focus on the matches for tonight. We’re heading towards Victory Explosion 17, and we know that it’s going to get EMOTIONAL! We’re starting off with the EBW Women’s World Tag Team Championships on the line, as the Nasty Girlz have a grudge with Alison Chains who…well she basically savaged them mentally.

Apple Kid: No amount of ointment to heal those burns, but they challenged the champs and the champs agreed. Christina also heard what Alison had said, and was shocked to say the least.

Makoto Angel: I mean weren’t we all? What schemes is she planning on a daily basis? Gotta keep an eye on that one.

Tommy Dukes: We’ll also see Jason Boomtown and Isiah Muscle in singles action. The Ensiders take on Aoi and her allies. That’s what Aoi has been expecting, and it’s here. MCW is hitting and hitting hard.

Apple Kid: Seto Kaiba got fooled by Jaden Yuki, and now he’s got Kaiba’s prize card. Razorblade is playing mercenary tonight, coming right after him, but the VBW Championship is on the line, so that means something for Jaden to win, but it also means No Rules.

Makoto Angel: After what we did to Kishin Kid and Erica, you’d think they had enough, but the Stygian Inquisition is challenging Blood 4 Blood tonight, and luckily Subculture and Picky are there, and Tack will help them, cause he’s the fifth member of-

Apple Kid: Mako-chan, he’s the fourth member. Mav had to vacate the spot. Tack is in that spot. He is a member of Blood 4 Blood.

Makoto Angel: …But he’s…the fifth…he’s +1 and I was +1+1 for the night. It was fun.

Apple Kid: *sigh* We’re really proud of your win.

Makoto Angel: Thank you. Plenty of people suggested I challenge Erica for the title, but that honor goes to Wendy Mustang, and I wouldn’t want to get in the way.

Tommy Dukes: We’ll be hearing from Wendy Mustang AND Rama Raju later tonight…that is if Raju is willing to talk to us, but right now, we’re hearing…yep..yep we’re hearing that Tracy just arrived to the building, and Miss Xtra is there to talk to them. Let’s get to it.

Backstage

Miss Xtra: Miss Xtra here with-

Tracy: Where’s Kid Cadet? I’d rather give her this scoop…but I guess you’ll do.

Miss Xtra: Hey! I’m the EBW roving reporter, so lay it on me!

Tracy: It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for, so here it is. Yes, I AM STILL THE WORLD CHAMPION! HAHA!

Miss Xtra: *sigh* That’s the big news huh?

Tracy: Well did you see HOW it happened? Christy Angel showed us something, didn't she? I always liked her best. I knew she could be like me! I’m so proud she did the right thing, and now Paula can nurse her head injury and her damaged ego back home with brother dearest, AND the Angel Family can understand just how much influence I truly have. It’s a great day for me.

Miss Xtra: What about w00t? Isn’t he with you tonight?

Tracy: My sweet w00t. He’s indulging in the pleasures of the flesh as it were. He’s living it up Xtra. I dare say he’s absolutely…euphoric right now. Just remember that even when you think he’s lost…he’s won.

Miss Xtra: But Zyro beat hi-

Tracy: He’s won! Biggest W ever as far as I’m concerned.

Miss Xtra: Not sure I understand.

Tracy: Of course you don’t. You’re all boobs and no brains! I’m going to celebrate with Elysium tonight. Not sure if you knew this, Cadet might have, Elysium is solid gold now, and with Carma on our side, the best is yet to come.

Miss Xtra: Well speaking of Elysium, after the match at Rumble City, we now know that Real M’s is-

Tracy: Yes, Tali was in some horrible accident, and my only regret is that it didn’t kill her. This interview is over.

EBW: Xcite
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
ENN

1. EBW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: Christina Angel(c)/Alison Chains(c) vs. Kat Leroux<MCW>/Linda Dallas<MCW>
-A fun opener, if not very athletically compelling, because of the antics of Alison Chains. She continued to rile up the sisters, while Christina basically let her do her thing. The MCW team were more than willing to fight dirty in and out of the ring, while Christina felt the need to hold her nose when fighting either of them. Late in the match, she mixed it up with Linda Dallas. Linda suddenly turned to the outside of the ring, where Alison showed that she’d brought Linda’s brother to the event. She started tongue kissing him, which made Linda gag, and left her wide open to the Angel Wings and the pin from Christina.
Winner: Christina Angel via Angel Wings on Linda Dallas -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Makoto Angel: And Christina and Alison Chains pick up the win and the title defense! You have to wonder if Christina is worried about teaming with Chains a little bit. I mean they are successful, and no one saw the team up coming, but Alison Chains is….well she’s literally insane. Like not quirky or off kilter, but a raging psychopath.

Apple Kid: Seems nice to me.

Tommy Dukes: You also have to wonder if they have their sights set on a match for Victory Explosion yet. Christina is used to the World Championship picture, much like Hope Mach normally is, but we have a new dynamic this year, as Wendy Mustang has broken through the glass ceiling, and she’s on her way to a battle with Erica, the Hell Queen of EBW.

Apple Kid: Oh that’s a cool name huh.

Tommy Dukes: Let’s take you to the back right now, as Good News Gary has tracked down the new #1 Contender.

Backstage

Good News Gary: GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Pinkies up, cause it’s a big day for Wendy Mustang! Our resident cowgirl has done it! The former World Tag Team Champion is now in line for a shot at Erica, and the EBW Women’s World Championship. How exciting?

Wendy Mustang: Well shoot and tarnation, it’s a far sight more than just excitin’ Gary. This is what I’m here for! Tussle after tussle, I’ve been eyeing this match. It ain’t just another rodeo. I spent years getting busted up with the toughest of the tough in Edo. I sold out the Kyoto Dome against ladies like Bull Kanono, and you know this cowgirl was able to tame the bull, but Erica is something else entirely ain’t she? She’s the real deal, and she’s proven it time and time again. She was dangerous as a psychopathic stalker M’s Style wanna be. She was dangerous as Erica Eisen, the leader of Eisenritter. Now, she’s the Hell Queen of The Stygian Inquisition, and as far as I know, she was willing to sell her soul for power and glory. That’s dedication I guess? It’s all gonna be for nothing when I get done with her. This ain’t just a flash in the pan fluke win here people. This is MY shot, and I’m shooting my shot. I’m taking this bull by the horns, and I’m gonna-

Suddenly, The Auditor seeming floated up behind Wendy Mustang, and pressed up close to her back, placing his hands on her shoulders. Wendy to her credit, didn’t even flinch.

The Auditor: No fear. Not even a scream.

Wendy Mustang: I felt the icy chill on my spine. Also, I could smell you coming.

The Auditor: …Impressive. You will make for great fun, when the Hell Queen comes for you. I do look forward to the day that I have you at my desk…for you audit is due.

Wendy Mustang: Hey…it’s not tax evasion if I lived in Edo all those years.

The Auditor: …Humorous. Most humorous indeed.

2. Singles: Jason Boomtown vs. Isiah Muscle
-The match started with both wrestlers trying to get control. Boomtown sent Muscle to the ropes and attempted to jump on Muscle. Muscle caught him and Boomtown used the ropes to break up the situation. They grappled and traded waist locks and standing switches. Boomtown got a front face lock. Muscle went for a double wrist lock, but Boomtown got out and went for an ankle lock. They stood up and grappled again trading waist locks. Muscle slapped Boomtown and hit several strikes. Boomtown, sporting the kickpads straight out of 2005, landed kicks, sending Muscle over the apron, but Muscle hit a double wrist lock in the ropes. Boomtown hit a surprising deadlift superplex for a two count. Muscle was able to face another rope break, but Boomtown remained in control. Boomtown went to suplex Muscle, but Muscle reversed and hit a gut wrench suplex. Muscle grabbed Boomtown but Boomtown elbowed out and hit a gut wrench suplex. Muscle ducked a punch and hit a springboard kick. Both men were down. Muscle hit a series of running strikes. Boomtown escaped a suplex attempt and hit a powerslam for a two count. Boomtown hit an elbow, jumped off the ropes, but Muscle caught him with a knee, and a trip to THE GUN SHOW! Muscle hit several knees to the stomach followed by a running knee. Muscle pinned Boomtown but Boomtown barely kicked out. Muscle grabbed Boomtown’s arm as Boomtown tried to fight out. Boomtown rolled Muscle over for a two count and hit a powerbomb for another two count. Muscle got out of a suplex attempt and hit Boomtown with another slam. He sized up Boomtown and hit the Dragon Suplex with a pin for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Isiah Muscle via Dragon Suplex Pin -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: Isiah with the win there, but Boomtown looked impressive. Even if he doesn’t drive the tank out for every match, the Master Blaster had the youngest member of Samurai Ifrit on the back foot for a lot of that match.

Apple Kid: Here comes Mike to celebrate with him, and they’re both showing off the guns to the crowd. Here comes Sal Paradise to help Boomtown, but with Mike Thunder disrespecting him like that, you have to imagine they’re going to clash again and soon.

Makoto Angel: Rematches are not a certainty in EBW. If Mike and Son don’t feel like accepting the challenge, then LoveBoom might have to fight their way back to a title shot.

President Swift’s Office

Pirkle paced backed and forth, while Swift and Venus both sat at the desk. A weary Lucca stood by the door.

Mr. Pirkle: This is unacceptable Swift. Absolutely unacceptable! All of this has been a nightmare, and it’s time for this partnership to end! One of my top talents nearly died leaving your show. She was on her way back to Sin City, but if we’d have STAYED in Sin City, she wouldn’t have been on the road in the first place! We’re putting out talent in danger here!

Swift: It ain’t our responsibility to watch over them driving from place to place. At some point, you have to trust your contracted talent to get from town to town! Besides, I figured you’d be thrilled, as you currently hate her guts!

Mr. Pirkle: I love money more than I hate anyone, and that woman, pain as she is, drew money.

Venus: I’m more worried about her condition, and if we suspect foul play.

Mr. Pirkle: Foul play? Are you joking? Look, I know you’re used to singing for dollars in bars and seedy nightclubs, but this was drunk driving pure and simple. The idiot did it to herself!

Lucca: Sir is NOT an idiot! Sir was depressed and she relapsed into drinking. It’s a sad and unfortunate thing, and she DID put herself in great danger. However…we DO suspect foul play.

Mr. Pirkle: Pardon?

Lucca: The paint from another vehicle was found on her motorcycle. It’s believed that they scuffed together just enough to send sir on her trajectory. Tire tracks at the scene corroborate that theory. They’re looking for traffic camera footage to see if they can pinpoint what kind of vehicle, but I know from the cursory glance I took, that it’s definitely not another motorcycle, and the vehicle in question is well maintained judging by the brand new tires that left said tracks. That’s what I’ve gleaned from this so far. I-

Swift: Look, this ain’t just some case to crack, and if you don’t like the partnership Pirkle, you can take a hike. I KNOW THIS WOMAN PERSONALLY! Tali, has been a pain in the ass for years, but I like her. One of those people you just want to be around ya. I can’t explain it. Feels like family I guess. We’ve been up and down the roads together so long we might as well be. I’m honestly having trouble keeping it together right now, and I’d much rather be flipping this desk than talking to all of you, but I extended a courtesy. If this were old Swift, I would have POOOOOOOUNCED your ass through that wall already. So leave me alone, except for you Lucca…if you have any news to share…please do.

Lucca: You got it.

Mr. Pirkle: *sigh* This is nothing short of a disaster.

3. 6-Woman Tag: Tiger Storm<MCW>/Lacy Wagner<MCW>/Kimber Blaze<MCW> vs. Darkness Aoi/Hilda Iceheart/Mitra Lennox
-Ensiders invade! The group of disgruntled former EBW wrestlers found their way back through the partnership with MCW, but it’s a partnership they are not happy to be a part of, and Tiger Storm was definitely not happy to be back in the same place as Darkness Aoi. The two continued their rivalry, stemming back from their days in Edo, when they had a Senpai-Kohai relationship that rivaled on abusive and possibly more. Tiger Storm took it out on her former “senpai” with hard shots. Strong style in action for all six ladies, including Hilda Iceheart, who has been molded by the efforts of Aoi and Lennox. Still, the ice queen would be the one to drop the fall, when Tiger hit the Tiger Driver 9X on her for the pin. After the match, the Ensiders continued attacking. Aoi stood up to the shots, but a hard chair shot from Tiger Storm laid her out.
Winner: Tiger Storm<MCW>[o]/Lacy Wagner<MCW>/Kimber Blaze<MCW> via Tiger Driver 9X -> Pin

Tiger Storm: You see that? You see what just happened here?! THAT is what you get. You get what you pay for, and MCW pays a whole lot more. In case you didn’t realize it yet, we’re the Ensiders. We took up the name, because EBW let us down.

Lacy Wagner: You refused to let me escape the shadow of my mess of an old man, and you put me in a box!

Kimber Blaze: I was told they had “nothing for me”. Nothing for me?! Are you kidding me?! Look at me! Look at what I bring to the table! You let me down, and you let the fans down, cause I was your bright future. Not anymore!

Tiger Storm: We’re not going to stop. We might split back up, and MCW will show you all how it’s done, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, you brought on this war, and you’re going to GET IT! Victory Explosion is coming, and we’re challenging the best of the best. Bring your best, they WON’T BE GOOD ENOUGH! Aoi, you definitely brought this on.

Blood 4 Blood Locker Room

Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here, because Tack isn’t comfortable around other women in the locker room. As you can see the shooters AND Tack are very tired. This tight knit brotherhood, that Tack happens to be near without being a part of it specifically, is drained after the tragic accident that happened to Tali. We’re being told an investigation has been underway about the accident, and while we wait on those results, and the condition of Tali, all these guys and Tack can do is prepare for a battle with The Stygian Inquisition. However, we have other stuff on our mind too, don’t we Tack? By the way, nice “Stop Self Snitching” hat.

Tack Angel: You want to know what’s ironic? Hyphenated. Non-hyphenated. What? Figure THAT out. Want to know what else is ironic? Tracy thinking she can have custody of Christy! Again what?! She’s MY daughter.  Tracy left and isn’t even her biological M-

Makoto Angel: Oh no sweetie, I don’t think that’s what she’s doing. Christy isn’t trying to live with Tracy or anything like that. I think she just helped her coincidentally while rebelling against Paula, who was her mentor in MCW.

Tack Angel: Oh…well still! You know, they say you’re supposed to let them make their own mistakes.

Subculture: Uh…no bro, you should keep an eye on your daughter. You need to be in her life more man.

Tack Angel: Well I was super occupied with…wait…Ana changed the timeline. Why wasn’t I doing that?!

Subculture: Ana did what now?

Tack Angel: Nothing! *sigh* Kishin Kid and now Christy. This is the price I pay I guess. I need to just work with it, and do my best. I’ll try to be #1 Dad, but Trevor bought all the mugs. Guess I’ll just have to be #1 Dad…in here. *tries pointing at heart but pokes ribs too hard* Ouch!

Subculture: Seriously though, you gotta work on that. You already let one daughter marry a guy like me. Me specifically Tack. I married your daughter.

Tack Angel: …Y-you sure did.

Backstage

Miss Xtra: Miss Xtra here again, and still no updates on the status of Real M’s, but we can confirm that Rhea Rampage is not in the building. Trust me, I looked everywhere for her. Most talent are required to attend shows even if they aren’t booked. Absolute defiance there, but no surprise. We can’t talk to her, BUT we CAN talk to the winner of Rumble City for the men. It’s “The Fire” of Dalaam, and the smolderingly intense man with the best mustache I’ve ever seen. Rama Raju!

Rama Raju: Heh. Thank you.

Miss Xtra: Oh he smiled! Dreamy! I’m totally into Mav Valentine though, but if I wasn’t, I’d ask for a mustache ri- never mind! Keeping a clear mind. Stay sharp and focused here. It shouldn’t be too hard without Kid Cadet here. We need to talk about Rumble City. I know you don’t tend to have much to say but-

Rama Raju: I will speak on this. Forgive me if it seemed like I was being unkind. I am a man of two minds and two worlds. I sometimes confuse who I am at any given time. It’s because of the focus on my goal. I can never relent until I achieve it, and even then, I will have high mountains to climb. That is the promise I made to myself, and to  my village along the Godavari River in Dalaam. To my beloved who waits for me. I will not stop. I will keep going until I get to where I must be, and do what I must do. That is-

Zyro Kurogane: Very very interesting, buuuut I find it more interesting that you’re not talking to me. The EBW World Champion and leader of Samurai Ifrit Zyro-K BEY-BEEEEY!

Rama Raju: ….

Miss Xtra: This interview time was scheduled for the winner of Rumble Ci-

Zyro Kurogane: I also won at Rumble City. I broke w00t. I kept the title, took his stable, rebranded it, and took away his Perfection forever. Not bad for the youngest world champ. Not bad for the rookie of rookies huh? The hot shot. The supernova ACE! You trying to be a supernova Raju?

Rama Raju: …..

Zyro Kurogane: You trying to make a name for yourself? Everyone is talking about YOU. The man who earned a title shot in his first match. You won Rumble City. You did it by going the distance and tossing out Trevor Mach. You beat the Bad Man. Look at you…a real supernova huh? Why, cause you’re “The Fire” of Dalaam? I’m the leader of Samurai Ifrit. You know what an Ifrit is Raju? A Djinn? A fiery force that burns! My fire burns hotter than yours Raju, and if you think for a second that you’re going to take this World Championship from me at Victory Explosion, then you’ve got another thing coming. It’s the biggest show of the year. It’s the show of shows. It’s the Superb Owl, or whatever the hell the EFL is going to have. It’s THE SHOW…and I’m going to let it rip, and you’re going to lose. I’m going to walk out of the dome with my head held high, and this title belt in my possession. If it’s your goal…you’re never going to get it.

Rama Raju: …Are you finished?

Zyro Kurogane: …Oh I’m never fini-

Rama Raju: You have every right to work, but not to expect the result. Let not the result be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction. I don’t care if I live or die by it. As long as I have blood left in my body, I will keep fighting for my goal.

Zyro Kurogane: You sound like Bashin Dan when you talk like tha-

Raju suddenly backed away a little and seemed to be sizing up Zyro Kurogane.

Rama Raju: Load. Aim. SHOOT!

Zyro Kurogane: What?! You must not speak the language very well. Don’t worry…it’s my second language too. Watashi wa anata o barabarani suru tsumoridesu! Heh. I’ll be seeing you later Rama Raju..because you and I…well we’re fighting for the future of EBW aren’t we?

Rama Raju: ….

Raju kept staring as Kurogane walked away, and it became apparent that he might have been looking at Mr. Pirkle who walked by in a huff as the interview was going on.

4. VBW Championship: Razorblade(c) vs. Jaden Yuki
-The rules were thrown out for the next match, as VBW Champion and Kaiba Corp. mercenary Razorblade battled Jaden Yuki, as a “punishment” for his betrayal. Jaden was all smiles at first, but Razorblade brought the plunder, and busted open Jaden the hard way, which was shocking, because it doesn’t happen to him every week. If it happened every week it might lose some of its meaning. I mean it would still be brutal, and a sign of a hard fight, but the people seeing it would end up being a little desensitized I would think. Yuki wasn’t looking absolutely flawless, but he borrowed a fan’s prosthetic leg to batter Razor hard enough to turn the tide. He hit the GX factor on Blade, but that brought out Rude and Hazen. The two beat down Jaden Yuki, until Dan, Jammer, and Benji ran out to make the save. Vape tried to run out too, but got stuck in the locker room doorway. Despite the save, Razor still hit the Exploder Suplex on Yuki and pinned him for the 1-2-3. A title defense and a crazy brawl.
Winner: Razorblade via Exploder Suplex -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Tommy Dukes: Wow! That was just nuts! I hope that fan gets their leg back!

Apple Kid: Seto Kaiba is coming out, looking perturbed, but pleased with the result. He’s handing Razorblade his cash for getting the job done.

Seto Kaiba: I hope you realize the mistake you’ve made. You’re a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck, and I’m not subscribing to your buffoonery anymore. I’m not authorizing it, and I’m not accepting it. You’re going down like Dibney’s stocks. You made a fool out of me one time, and that’s the onl-

Jaden Yuki: A-are you done dawg? I’m Absolutely Flawless, and I can take a beating, but that doesn’t change the fact that I have your prized possession Mr. King of Games, and if you want it back, you have to accept my terms.

Seto Kaiba: What do you want? Money? I’ve got it. You can have it. Just give it back you peasant!

Jaden Yuki: It’s very very very VERRRRY simple Seto Kaiba. All you gots ta do…is give BASHIN DAN HIS MATCH AT VICTORY EXPLOSION BABY!

Seto Kaiba: NOOO! YOU SON OF A- YOU’RE GONNA REGRET THIS!

Jaden Yuki: Hahaha!

Tommy Dukes: Wow! Seto Kaiba has a lot to think about there. Will Dan finally get his singles rematch with Seto Kaiba?!

Makoto Angel: So much going on on the road to Victory Explosion 17, but we’re not done tonight just yet. Up next, the main event. Blood 4 Blood versus The Stygian Inquisition!

5. 6-Man Tag: Tack Angel/Subculture/Picky Minch vs. Kishin Kid/The Assessor/The Witness
-Main event time, as Blood 4 Blood and The Stygian Inquisition clashed in 6-Man tag action. Tack Angel and Kishin Kid picked up right where they left off at Rumble City, but it was quickly apparent that the trauma of what happened to Real M’s had left them running on fumes, possibly from days of no sleep. The group were taking a beating, until Little Mac ran down to the ring to rile them up and motivate them, along with the fans. It was all coming together. Tack was really feeling it, making a comeback, looking good, and staying in his lane. That’s when Kishin Kid kicked him between the legs of course. DQ victory for Blood 4 Blood.
Winners: Tack Angel/Subculture/Picky Minch via DQ

Makoto Angel: OH NO! TACK’S…UH….OH NO!

Tommy Dukes: Wow, that hurt me looking at it, and they two sides are still throwing down, while Tack clutches at his…you know!

Apple Kid: Kishin Kid is making it clear, he’s not done by a long shot, and this could lead to the two having a rematch at Victory Explosion. That’s something that’s happened in the past, so once again the past is coming back to haunt Tack Angel.

Makoto Angel: I know that my Pushpin Seraphim can do it! I believe in him!

Tommy Dukes: Well fans, we’re just getting started in regards to the Victory Explosion hype train. All aboard, and we promise not to “accidentally” tip over and release a toxic cloud that leaves your area uninhabitable! Good night everybody!

President Swift’s Office

Swift rubbed the scar from his gunshot wound. The wound that left him aching to that very day. As he angrily thought about it, Lucca came rushing into the room with a tablet.

Swift: YOU need to KNOCK! I could’ve been flipping desks in here!

Lucca: Sorry Mr. President, but you need to see this. They found traffic cam footage of what they believe to be the vehicle.

Swift: That’s what I’ve been waiting on. Let me see that.

Swift watched a video of a quiet highway, devoid of vehicles. Suddenly a black car came speeding by, with a scuff of paint on the back side. The plate on the back was partially visible.

Swift: "P3RF-3C-T10N" SON OF A-

*We now open with Master Lu still standing there with his hand extended to Real M's, whom is still on her knees, contemplating her next move. Real M's, now just nods her head and says out loud.....*

Real M's: Fuck it. What have I got to lose?

*Real M's now takes Master Lu's hand. Master Lu just smiles and tells her....*

Master Lu: Everything.

*Real M's barely has time to react as she and Master Lu now fade away in a bright flash of white light. Real M's now exclaims as they do....*

Real M's: WHAT THE FU......*

Sin City General Hospital - Sin City, Eagleland

*We now open to the main waiting room of Sin City General Hospital where the vigil for the Tali Mach aka Real M's continues once again, post EBW XCITE, of course.

Suddenly without any warning, a very grief stricken Doctor Degrees enters the waiting room, along with a very pale and distraught looking Lucca. Lucca is trying maintain her stoic composure, but is obviously breaking apart as tears are visibily rolling down her cheeks from behind her glasses. Behind Doctor Degrees and Lucca, Bashin Dan has his arms wrapped around a very emotionally broken Hope Mach. Hope is almost inconsolable at this point, but Bashin Dan is obviously trying his best too. He and Hope now take a seat on the nearby bench in the waiting room. Across the room and for the first time in his life, Tack Angel doesn't even need Doctor Degrees to make his announcement, as even he can read the writing on the wall. He now falls to his knees in complete shock and grief shaking his head as Doctor Degrees tells everybody else in the room.....*

Doctor Degrees: I don't know how make this announcement everyone, so I'll just come out and say it......Tali Mach didn't make it. We tried our best, but there was too little and too much work to be done. I am so sorry guys, I failed.

*Hope Mach now gets up from the bench as Bashin Dan embraces. She tries to wipe her eyes of the tear as she walks over to Doctor Degrees and embraces him strongly. He now tells her.....*

Doctor Degrees: I am so sorry, Hope. I made a promise that I would save her life and I failed. I failed everybody. But most of all, I failed Tali.

*Hope now releases the embrace while shaking her head. She now tells Doctor Degrees.....*

Hope Mach: NO! You didn't fail Tali. We ALL failed her. We all saw her drinking problems getting out of control and we all failed to act.

*Tack Angel now gets up as he nods his head in agreement. He now tells everybody else.....*

Tack Angel: Hope's right. We all failed to prevent this all from happening. We should have stopped her together and we did not.




*The scene now turns black and white and the mood changes from sadness to bitter anger rather quickly. Tack Angel now continues.....*

 Tack Angel: HOWEVER let's not forget this is all TALI'S FAULT! SHE brought this all on HERSELF!

Picky Minch: YEAH! Let's not forget that bitch was too stubborn for her own damn good!

Tack Angel: THAT is exactly, my point. How can we prevent something when that person REFUSES to change! REPEATEDLY, I might add!

*Hope just nods her head and tells Doctor Degrees.....*

Hope Angel: Tack is right, Degrees. There was NOTHING you could do. It was the inevitable, yet fitting end to my mom's life. Why should we mourn for her, when she probably wouldn't even give a fuck anyways. We shouldn't be celebrating my mom's life, we should be condemning it. BOOOOOOOO TALI!

Tack Angel: YES! BOOOOOOOOO TALI! BOOOOOOO!

Picky Angel: BOOOOOO! STUBBORN BITCH!

Little Mac: DOWN WITH THE DRUNKARD! BOOOOOOOO!

Hope Mach: SHE GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED! BOOOOOOO!

*As the mood in the waiting room continues to turn dark, we see off in a corner by themselves watching are both Master Lu and Real M's. Real M's is clearly upset and disturbed by this turn of events.....*

Real M's: What the fuck is this, Lu?

Master Lu: A glimpse of your future, Tali.

Real M's: But I don't want this future! You hear me, I DON'T WANT IT!

*Master Lu now just smiles and tells Real M's.....*

Master Lu: Good.

*Master Lu now just snaps his fingers and the scene suddenly fades away and they are instantly back where they started, with Real M's on her knees in front of Master Lu once again. Master Lu now asks her seriously......*

Master Lu: So what have you learned from all of this, Tali Mach?

*Real M's just shakes her head in disbelief. She thinks for a few moments, nods her head in agreement, and then now tells Master Lu.....*

Real M's: That you are right, Master Lu. I do have a problem, Thank you for helping me understand that now.

Master Lu: That's good to hear. You have just taken your first step to recovery, Tali Mach. You now realize you have a serious problem and only you can overcome and fix it.

Real M's: Great. Can I leave this place now?

*Master Lu just shakes his head in the negative and tells her.....*

Master Lu: I am afraid things are more complicated than that, Tali.

Real M's: And why is that?

Master Lu: Not only must you confront that so called demon in the bottle, you will have to face other serious complications, as well.

Real M's: What complications?

Master Lu: Well since you have waited so long to face this problem, you are now essentially as a crossroads. You are on The Brink.

Real M's: The Brink?

Master Lu: Yes, The Brink of life and death. And I just showed you one of your possible futures.

Real M's: But that is NOT the future I want!

Master Lu: Yes, I know. You may have no choice in this matter, Tali. You may have waited too long.

Real M's: LIKE FUCK ALL I DID!

Master Lu: Getting angry and cussing at me doesn't change the fact, you probably still did.

Real M's: GODDAMN IT!

Master Lu: He already has, Tali. He already has.

Real M's: He doesn't exist.

*Master Lu now raises a curious eyebrow at Real M's and walks up to her. He now asks her.....*

Master Lu: Are you sure about that?

*Real M's now looks into Master Lu's eyes and sees something that both warms her heart and shocks her to her very soul. She now asks Master Lu in utter disbelief.....*

Real M's: Who are you really, Master Lu?

*Master Lu just smiles and back away from Real M's as he tells her......*

Master Lu: To put it in the simplest of terms, I am your guardian angel, Tali Mach.

Real M's: So you are not really Master Lu then?

Master Lu: No. Think of me as an echo of that person you once knew.

Real M's: Alright. And if you are my guardian angel, does that mean that "Big Man In The Sky" actually exists?

Master Lu: What do you think?

Real M's: Well.....

*Real M's now thinks about her current situation for a moment. The realization finally hits her hard and she blurts out in total disbelief.*

Real M's: SHITCAKES! So why are you are really here then?

Master Lu: I was sent from the Heavens above to guide you in your time of greatest need.

Real M's: Well then guide me!

Master Lu: I already did that. Now it is up to you.

Real M's: Me?

Master Lu: You must make your choice. Live or die. Life or death. The choice is yours and yours alone. Farewell, Tali Mach. And good luck!

*Master Lu now begins to fade away in a brilliant flash of bright light as Real M's yells at him......*

Real M's: MASTER LU! DON'T LEAVE ME! MASTER LUUUUUUUUUU!

*But Master Lu is now gone for good and Real M's is left all alone. She now sees the long dark tunnel with the light at the end of it in the distance. She now looks behind her and sees the very world itself starting fade away in the distance. Real M's now exclaims out loud.....*

Real M's: OH SHIT! TIME TO GO!

*Real M's now tries to get up once again, but she falls to her face once again!

Surgery Room #3, Sin City General Hospital - Sin City, Eagleland

Back in Surgery Room #3, Tali Mach begins to flat line once again. All the doctors and nurses begin to panic once again. But Doctor Degrees is able revive Tali Mach once again, but this time it took along time and a major struggle on his end. He now tells the rest of his staff in exasperation....*

Doctor Degrees: SHIT! That was close. TOO CLOSE! I don't think we can afford for that to happen again.

*Nurse Cunningham now nods her head in agreement. She now tells Doctor Degrees....*

Nurse Cunningham: I agree, Doctor. We might actually lose her the next time.

Doctor Degrees: DAMN IT! Then we have to make the choice, right here, right now. No time to wait. Do we just try to save Tali's life or risk it all to save her legs?

*Nurse Cunningham is busy thinking about that for a few moments as Doctor Degrees can't decide for himself. Nurse Cunningham finally speak up and now tells him....*

Nurse Cunningham: Degrees?

*Doctor Degrees realizes Nurse Cunningham is looking very serious by addressing him personally and not using his medical title. He now tells her calmly.....*

Doctor Degrees: Yes, Cunningham?

Nurse Cunningham: Just remember the promise you made to the Machs.

*Doctor Degrees now thinks for a moment and then nods his head. He then tells Nurse Cunningham....*

Doctor Degrees: You are absolutely right, Cunningham. It's not the right choice to make. It's the ONLY choice to make. We will save her life and accept with the consequences.

*Nurse Cunningham now puts her hand on Doctor Degrees' shoulder and tells him.....*

Nurse Cunningham: We are with you, Degrees. And the Machs can deal with the consequences too. They're a strong family. They've dealt with much worse in the past.

Doctor Degrees: Oh, I know. Believe me. And it's not them, I worry about, Cunningham. It's Tali Mach. I just hope she can deal with everything coming her way at full speed. She has a very long hard road ahead of her.

Nurse Cunningham: She can. And she will. I know it.

Doctor Degrees: We'll see. So let's try and save a life here.

*Nurse Cunningham now turns serious and professional again. She now gets back into her position and tells Doctor Degrees....*

Nurse Cunningham: Ready when you are, Doctor.

Doctor Degrees: Alright, let's get started.....




*We fade out in bright flash of white light and back to Real M's laying face first on the ground, unable to move as the world continues to fade away behind her. The sound of her two young children, Justice and Truth, laughing and playing now once again fills the air. Real M's immediately awakens and tries to move forward, but her legs don't seem to work at all. Real M's groans in pain and struggles to move. Eventually she just begins to crawl on the ground towards the bright light, using just her arms and upper body to move. Real M's now says out loud as she continues to crawl.....*

Real M's: I am coming kids, even if I have to crawl my way there, I will.

*The sound of her children now fades away causing Real M's to stop and give up once again. Real M's now says to herself in despair.....*

Real M's: What is the fucking point anyways. I am never gonna make like this.

*Real M's now lays there as the world behind fades away almost reaching her legs at this point. Real M's now says as her very legs begins to fade away.....*

Real M's: Here it comes. Time to embrace the sweet release of death.

*But suddenly the fading stops and is pushed back as the sound of two people now fill the air. The sound of her eldest daughter, Hope Mach and her husband, Trevor Mach. It was the sound of them praying for her. Praying for her fight on and live. Tears now begin to fill Real M's eyes and fall down her face. She now pounds her fists into the ground and really digs in. She now tells both of them.....*

Real M's: Keep praying guys, I am coming. I refuse to die! YOU HEAR ME?!

*Real M's now crawls inch by inch towards the light as she yells out with each new inch taken.....*

Real M's: I! AM! NEVER! GIVING! UP! AGAIN!

*Real M's now reaches the bright light and everything flashes away at light speed as M's yells out....*

Real M's: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sin City General Hospital - Sin City, Eagleland

*Back in the waiting room of the Sin City Hospital, Doctor Degrees now enters with Nurse Cunningham and Lucca following closely behind. Doctor Degrees now just smiles as he announces the good news......*

Doctor Degrees: Good news everyone, the surgery is finally over and it was as successful as it could be. Tali Mach is alive and she is now resting comfortably. However.....

*Nurse Cunningham now stops him in his announcement. She now whispers something into his ear. Doctor Degrees just nods his head and tells them.....*

Doctor Degrees: Now is not the time. And that information can wait until Tali Mach is fully awake herself.

*The cameras now go down the hall, and into the operating room, where Tali Mach is now resting comfortably. Bashin Dan, Hope Mach, and Lucca are already gathered around her bedside area. Suddenly Tali Mach's eyes open wide. Bashin Dan now exclaims.....*

Bashin Dan: Oh shit! I mean, shoot.

Lucca: HOPE! SIR IS AWAKE!

*Hope now gets up and notices this too. She now tells both Bashin Dan and Lucca.....*

Hope Mach: Dan. Lucca. Please watch my mom for me. I am gonna tell my dad.

Bashin Dan: You do that, Hope.

Lucca: Yes. He must know immediately. Good luck.

Hope Mach: Thanks. See yall in a few.

*Hope Mach now rushes out of the room as Bashin Dan and Lucca stay by the awakened Tali Mach's bed side. We now fade to a close from there.*
