*Right before the show started, MCW Executive Producer, Lucca was shown walking into the BattleZone alone without the recently fired Real M's. But she was still stopped by the Owner of MCW, Mr. Pirkle.....*
*The smiling Mr. Pirkle then sarcastically asked Lucca where Real M's was. Lucca then flat out told Mr. Pirkle that already knew where Real M's was cause he fired her and this was his last chance to undo his mistake before he regrets it. Mr. Pirkle just calmly told Lucca that he regrets nothing. Lucca just shrugged her shoulders and handed him the envelope she was holding. Mr. Pirkle then asked what the hell this was? Lucca then explained on behalf of her new client, Tali Mach AKA Real M's, that this was a wrongful termination and disability discrimination lawsuit against him and MCW. Mr. Pirkle was now taken aback by this turn of events. He then asked how Lucca even got her law degree in the first place. Lucca then told him that it was lots and lots of night school. Mr. Pirkle then told her that was impossible. Lucca simply said "The mind never sleeps." and walked off, as the now confused Mr. Pirkle began to read over the lawsuit document. After a few minutes, Mr. Pirkle's confusion turn to anger as he yelled out in a rage.
Down the hall, the MCW General Manager, Venus came out of her office and asked Lucca what all that noise was? Lucca calmly told her that you probably won't have to deal with Mr. Pirkle for the rest of the night. So congradulations. Venus just smiled and nodded her head in approval.
The opening video package for the MCW MAX then played.*
*The opening pyro now goes off in the BattleZone as the MCW announce team of Xciter, Tangelo, and Pokey Minch welcome everybody to the second edition of MCW MAX. Xciter then tells everybody that it was Wednesday night and you knew what that meant. Two hours of nonstop women's wrestling action on ENT. He then runs down the card at a blistering speed, including the VICTORY EXPLOSION 17 REMATCH in the main event, as Hope Mach will make her MCW in-ring debut, teaming with the MCW Tag Team Champions, Dem Girlz....against the MCW World Champion, Tracy and Bad Vibes.*
*And speaking of the main event.....Hope Mach, along with the MCW Tag Team Champions Dem Girlz, then walked out and down to the ring for first time since her MCW debut last week.*
*Hope Mach then addressed the live crowd, which was giving her a mixed reaction. Hope Mach told the crowd that was fine cause she hasn't proven herself to them yet. But after tonight that will change. Cause tonight she is gonna make a STATEMENT in front of everybody, including Elysium.
*As if on cue, Elysium walks out, but stops on the ramp.*
*The MCW World Champion, Tracy then tells Hope Mach that only statement she is making right now is that she is still living in her mother's shadow. "Is that why she came out to her mother's old EBW theme music? To get a nostalgic pop from these stupid ass fans?" The crowd then cheers wildly. "WELL NOSTALGIA SUCKS!" The crowd now boos loudly. Tracy then said nobody cares about nostalgia anymore. WHY?! Cause nostalgia is just like TRASH! Cause it STINKS when it gets OLD too. So stop living in the past and live for the future. And the future of women's wrestling is EYSIUM! The crowd boos even more. Hope Mach then told Tracy that future was the only thing that SUCKS. Cause unlike my mother who was a living legend and she is proud to be the one to continue that legacy into front of everybody. But nobody wants to see Tracy or her little friends continue on top anymore. And as the old saying goes "The future is never set in stone." So tonight that future starts to change. Tracy then told her it will never ever change. The future and MCW belong to her FOREVER! Hope Mach then told Tracy to prove it by stepping into this ring and everybody will see what changes and what stays the same. Tracy then told Hope that she thought she'd never ask. Elysium then got in the ring and all six ladies had a heated staredown for moment. But before they could start fighting.....*
*The MCW General Manager, Venus then walked onto the stage and told all six ladies to not even think about fighting and ruining the main event. Nobody paid to see that happen. So save it for later cause everybody deserves to get their money's worth tonight. All six ladies then stated at each other as the scene closed out from there.
*Backstage we see all six ladies in the opening match facing off against each other. They are joined by a new but familiar backstage interviewer. "HELLO WRESTLING FANS! THANKS TO MY NEW BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD, MCW'S OWN KID CADET, I'M BAAAAACK!" proclaimed the new and improved Miss MAX, aka the former Miss Xtra! "AND I AM BETTER THAN EVERRRRRR!" Tiger Storm then interrupted Miss MAX, telling her sarcastically "That's great, Easy E. Knock it off." Tiger Storm then told all the other ladies to leave, except for YOU.....Kayla Sparkz.
*The perplexed Kayla Sparkz then asked what Tiger Storm wanted? Tiger Storm then said "It's simple. I want you." Kayla Sparkz stood her ground in response and told her "Well here I am." Tiger Storm then said she had it all wrong cause she wants her to join The Ensiders. Kayla Sparkz just shakes her head in disgust and is like "Really?" Tiger Storm just nod her head and tells "Just think about it, Kayla. Your career has gone down the proverbial tubes. Kei Akiyama and 2K are just shoving you down them even further. You need to make a drastic change to turn it around." Kayla Sparkz then asked Tiger Storm unenthusiastically "And How do I do that?" Tiger Storm then told Kayla Sparkz to "Ditch the Edo bitch and join The Ensiders. Make that first step." Kayla Sparkz then told Tiger Storm that the only thing she is ditching is this conversation. Cause her career turns around next week, when she beats Tiger Storm in the first round of the MCW Television Tournament. Tiger Storm just shook her head in disappointment and told Kayla Sparkz to just think about what she said, before walking off. Miss MAX then tried to asked Kayla Sparkz her thoughts, but she just walked off in silence instead.*
1.) It was a chaotic affair in the opening match as all six ladies will meet in first round of the MCW Television Tourament next week. In the end, Kei Akiyama managed to pin her 2K tag partner, Kayla Sparkz, with the Exploder Suplex for the victory.
*After the match, Kei Akiyama tried to help her tag team partner to her feet, but Kayla Sparkz rejected the help and rolled out of the ring instead. Kayla Sparkz then left by herself, leaving her partner, Kei Akiyama alone in the ring as Tiger Storm looked on, smirking from the stage.
Backstage, Heather Mach was shown walking down the hallway, looking for something or someone. Heather Mach then asked one of the MCW crew members where Mr. Pirkle was? They then told Heather Mach that Mr. Pirkle was no longer at the building. Heather Mach just shook her head and asked where Venus was? The crew member didn't respond and Heather Mach almost grabs them by the shirt. But she remembers the warning Venus gave her last week and controls herself. She now yells at them instead...."WHERE IS VENUS?! THE GENERAL MANAGER! YOUR OTHER BOSS! HER OFFICE?! TELL ME NOW!" The crew then tells Heather Mach nervously...."D-d-d-down the hall and t-t-t-to the right." Heather Mach then screams at them "WAS THAT SO FUCKING HARD?! SONOFABITCH!" Heather Mach then continued down the hall.
Also backstage, Miss MAX was standing by with AJ Munk. Miss MAX tried to ask AJ Munk about her match with Sunshine. But before AJ Munk could speak...Brooke Carter interupted and tried to apologize for last week. AJ Munk interrupted her and told her to stay far away from her tonight. Cause if she doesn't, she will make her go to sleep FOR GOOD! Now get out of my face! AJ Munk then shoved the upset Brooke Carter away as she left.*
2.) AJ Munk and Sunshine opened the MCW Television Tournament with a decent match as AJ Munk controlled alot of it, but Sunshine refused to go easily. Sunshine would just keep kicking out, infuriating AJ Munk more and more. This led AJ Munk making a mistake and Sunshine firing up. But just as Sunshine started to make a come back, Brooke Carter snuck down to ringside and tripped her as Sunshine was setting up for the finish with the Hug Plex (Belly-to-Belly Suplex). This distraction was enough for AJ Munk to nail Sunshine with the GTS (Go To Sleep) for the victory.
*After the match, both AJ Munk and Brooke Carter beat down Sunshine in the ring until.....*
*Candy Floss made the save, clearing the ring of both AJ Munk and Brooke Carter. Candy Floss then told Brooke Carter to get in the ring for their match. AJ Munk then whispered something to Brooke Carter. Brooke Carter just nodded her head and entered the ring.
Looks like the second first round match is starting right....NOW!*
3.) Candy Floss was not in the mood for fun and games tonight and as a result, proceeded to beat the crap out of Brooke Carter from pillar to post. AJ Munk tried to distract her, but Sunshine returned to even the odds instead. But it STILL was enough interference for Brooke Carter to nail Candy Floss with the most devastating move in all of pro wrestling, the surprise roll up and grabbing the tights for the victory.
*After AJ Munk and Brooke Carter quickly escaped the ringside area as Two Sweet was left not so sweet in the ring. You win some and you lose some. C'est La Vei.*
*Backstage, Venus was now shown talking to Carma as she tried to enter the building tonight. Venus told Carma that since she is not wrestling tonight, she is not needed. Carma then asked about the main event. Venus then told that she is banned from ringside for that match. Carma then told her she can't do that. Venus then said she can and she just did. Carma then said she would still interfere anyways and she can't stop her. Venus then told her if she does, she is OUT of the MCW Television Tournament. Carma then said told Venus "You wouldn't dare do that, bitch." Venus then responded "Try me, bitch." and walked off. Carma then just threw her hat on the ground and yelled out in anger. Carma then exited the building, without further incident.*
Also backstage in the heel locker room, Tiger Storm was shown hyping up Kimber Blaze for her first round match against the debuting Strawberry Jane, while Lacey Wonder was distracted and staring at herself in the locker room mirror. Kimber Blaze then left for the match, ready to go. After she left, Lacey Wonder asked Tiger Storm about her deal with Kayla Sparkz. Tiger Storm just told Lacey Wonder that it was time for the Ensiders to think about expansion. And that there was strength in numbers. Tiger Storm then left as Lacey Wonder, continued to look at herself in locker room mirror. She then smiled and said to herself "Yes, there is. But I am STILL a one woman show."
Venus was then shown reentering her office and turning on the lights. The voice of Heather Mach then greets her with "Greetings, Venus" Venus then turns around to see Heather Mach sitting her office chair, leaning back with her feet propped up on her desk. Venus asks what she wants. Heather Mach then tells her "I just want to have a friendly little chit-chat with my General Manager." Venus just shakes her head in disgusts as the scene closes out from there.
Back in the ring, Kimber Blaze, was already waiting for her first round opponent, Strawberry Jane to make her debut.*
*Strawberry Jane then casually walked down to the ring and nonchalantly entered the ring to start the first round match.*
4.) While Kimber Blaze seemed to over hyped for the match, Strawberry Jane was seemingly not. Kimber Blaze tried to get Strawberry Jane to fight back, but she would not until Kimber Blaze slap her across the face and knocked her sunglasses off. Strawberry Jane then tried to pick them up, but Kimber Blaze stomped on them instead. Strawberry Jane them told her that those where vintage sunglasses, bitch and proceeded to chop the crap out of Kimber Blaze, officially starting the match. It was back and forth match with Strawberry Jane continuing to kick out no matter what Kimber Blaze did. Eventually Strawberry Jane caught a charging Kimber Blaze with the Fruit Punch (Superman Punch) and it staggered Kimber Blaze. Strawberry Jane then nailed her a second time with the Fruit Punch. Strawberry Jane went for the cover, but Kimber Blaze kicked out at 2.9! Strawberry Jane went for the Fruit Punch a third time, but Kimber Blaze ducked it and nailed her with a hard super kick instead! Kimber Blaze then went for the finish, but Strawberry Jane escaped and grabbed her by the head in a side headlock. Strawberry Jane then drove Kimber Blaze head first into the match with the Mind Trip (Headlock Driver) for the victory.
*Strawberry Jane casually celebrated her debut victory in the ring like it was nothing special.*
*Back in the General Manager's Office, Venus and Heather Mach were continuing to have their friendly little chit-chat. Heather Mach now tells Venus "So let me see if I can get this straight. Kelly Steel, who isn't even here and never shows up, is in the MCW Television Tournament and I am not?!" Venus then just nodded her head. Heather Mach then asked her "Does that seem logical to you?" Venus "No. But it is best for business. Kelly Steel is very big for tv ratings, according to ENT." Heather Mach just shook her head and told Venus is anger "Well I don't give a FUCK about tv ratings, Venus! Or what is best for business. I care about what is best for ME!" Venus then told Heather Mach seriously "Then I can not help you at all." Heather Mach now slams her hands on Venus' desk and tells her "Sure you can. Just tell me where I can find Kelly Steel." Venus then explained that Kelly Steel would return in two weeks from finishing her Twisted Steel World Tour. Heather Mach then asks Venus where the Twisted Steel World Tour was. Venus then told her it was in Edo. Heather Mach then smiled and told Venus "Then it looks like I am taking a little vacation to Edo." Heather Mach them left the office, slamming the door behind her.*
*A similar video package was then shown of the waves crashing on the beaches in Summers. The shadowed form of the unknown figure is now shown doing cartwheels, handsprings, and tumbles in the shallows waters of the beach. The figure then stops and poses with their arms outstretched as the sun sets behind them. The camera then fades out with same "ZH" along with the words "COMING SOON".
5.) In the main event, Hope Mach made her in ring debut alongside her friends, Jenny and Jessy James to take on Tracy and Bad Vibes. It was a big time feeling as this was a rematch from VICTORY EXPLOSION 17, as well. The crowd came alive every time Hope and Tracy teased facing off. But Tracy would only pick her spots and come in when Hope Mach was down on the mat. But Hope Mach still fought back, refusing to go down without a fight. Eventually the match broke down into a six way brawl out, with Hope Mach and Tracy left in the ring together. Tracy seemed to get the better of the exchange and went for the Perfect 10 (Lionsault) but Hope Mach got her knees up. And as soon as Tracy crashed onto them, Hope Mach transitioned right into the Game Over (Lebell Lock). Tracy tried to fight out of it and rolled through with a cradle, but Hope Mach kicked out at 2.9! And this time Tracy found herself trapped in the dead center of the ring. And with Dem Girlz holding off Bad Vibes on the outside, Tracy was forced to tap out!
*STATEMENT MADE! Hope Mach has made the MCW World Champion tap out in the center of ring in her MCW MAX debut. And unlike Paula pinning Tracy after the show ended, this was LIVE! in front of the whole world on ENT!*
*Hope Mach and Dem Girlz now celebrate in the ring as the show fades to a final close from there.*

The Mach Farm
Trevor was swinging the Gutsy Bat in the front yard of his farm, as his son came out of the front door dragging his duffle bag behind him.
Trevor Mach: Whoa kiddo, that’s a bit too heavy for ya.
Justice Mach: I wanna help Daddy.
Trevor Mach: You were a big help. Thank you so much. I don’t want you hurting yourself though. Look, you’re holding your arm. Is it OK?
Justice Mach: Can’t make it move.
Trevor Mach: Huh. Did you just wake up?
Justice Mach: Uh-huh.
Trevor Mach: You slept on it. Your arm is still asleep.
Justice Mach: What? I thought it sleeps when I sleep. I’m not sleepin’.
Trevor Mach: Sleep is a weird thing kiddo. I mean I go to sleep looking relatively OK, but then I wake up looking like someone beat the CRUD out of my face! I mean how can so much damage comes from a pillow? The things that happen to my face while I’m asleep never happen when I’m awake, and it looks like it SHOULD have woken me up!
Justice Mach: Hehe!
Trevor Mach: Don’t get me started on the breath either kid. That’s when your breath turns from a gas into a solid, as in it will solidly knock out anyone who smells it. But what happened Justice, was you fell asleep on your arm all night. Isn’t that just a joy to wake up to? You went to bed with two arms, but now you’ve got just the one.
Justice Mach: My arm needs to wake up!
Trevor Mach: I want to make it clear that despite your arm still being asleep while you’re awake, it does NOT have a mind of its own…or maybe it does. Cause like…if it’s asleep while I’m awake, what’s saying it’s not awake while I’m asleep! It could explain my FACE!
Justice Mach: HAHAHA!
Trevor Mach: See, that’s what I like about you. You’re not buying any of that. You get that Daddy is goofin! You get the bantz! Come here and give me a hug!
Trevor hugged Justice and scooped him up.
Trevor Mach: I love ya Justice. Pray for Daddy tonight OK?
Justice Mach: More boo boos?
Trevor Mach: Uh…yeah probably…and maybe ones you can see. Sometimes, we get boo boos inside.
Justice Mach: I don’t want you to get boo boos anymore. *sniff*
Trevor Mach: Aw buddy, your old man is built for it.
Justice Mach: I wanna get bigger and help you.
Trevor Mach: I appreciate that, more than you could ever know. I like you just the way you are right now buddy. Just the way you are right now. You’re the joy I waited my whole life to experience. I’m gonna see you again soon. Be good for Mom and Robo alright?
Justice Mach: OK! *thumbs up*
Trevor Mach: Yeah! *thumbs up*
Trevor took his duffle bag and the Gutsy Bat and loaded them into his truck. He smiled a big smile at Justice before driving away. As Justice got out of sight, Trevor dropped the smile, and grimaced, clenching his teeth as he brought out the fire for what was to come.
"Yngwie Malmsteen - Only the Strong"
Larry Grim: Welcome to Reefside Beach! We have a packed beach, and this time I brought this Vape Brand Bone Sun Block! Why does this even exist and why is Vape the one on the cover? Shouldn’t it be something I’m endorsing?
Makoto Angel: Well does it work?
Larry Grim: The jury is still out, but the jury is NOT out on whom Rama Raju is facing at Bushido. He made it pretty clear that the new champ wants Seto Kaiba, and it looks like that match is the main event of the upcoming event!
Makoto Angel: We are just outside of the Reefside Casino and Hotel, and it is a scorcher today.
Larry Grim: Like yesterday.
Makoto Angel: Yesterday?
Larry Grim: You see waaaay up there? That brightly lit room near the top of the hotel? That’s the “VIP Room” for people like Zyro Kurogane and Samurai Ifrit, and Seto Kaiba and his Corporation. Let’s check in with them right now!
VIP Room
Samurai Ifrit and Kaiba Corp. were both all enjoying the finer things in life, as Good News Gary tried to get inside the room, only to be forced out by Rude.
Rude: Not happening pal.
Good News Gary: This is NOT Good News! I seriously have a job to do here! *sigh* Deep breath Gary. Pinkies out, and don’t give up! Hey Zyro! How do you feel about-
Zyro Kurogane: Let me through Rude! I’ll answer this. He wants to know how I feel about Rama Raju ducking me? I’m not surprised. Not surprised in the slightest. What a fool you are if you think he’d want me looming over him, holding MY belt aloft, and putting that on TikTak. It would blow up. Millions of people would see me influencing Rama Raju into another line of work. Cause we will lock up again, and I’m gonna let it rip!
Seto Kaiba: Before I have Rude toss you on your face, I must admit though, I’m quite curious as to WHY he was so adamant to pick a fight with yours truly. Surely he knows who I am. Surely he knows how much money I have. Anyone else with this much money would buckle under the pressure, but luckily I’m Seto Kaiba. I mean look at me…look at this money. Is it too much money? No such thing. I’d say it’s a Kaiba amount of money. See me? See the money? See the Blue Eyes White Dragon Card? The once and future King of Games is TOO MUCH for that peasant pretending to be champion, but I’ll gladly take the belt off of his hands, and have a battle of superiors with Zyro Kurogane here.
Zyro Kurogane: See Raju, you can’t stop me from getting MY SHOT!
Seto Kaiba: The question stands, and you can ask him this for me. Why Seto Kaiba? Why does he wish to have such a short title reign? Figure that one out, right after Rude is done throwing you in a dumpster.
Good News Gary: I could just leave!
Rude: Oh no…I got orders.
Good News Gary: Fiddlesticks!
-
Makoto Angel: Poor Gary!
Larry Grim: It’s times like these that I’m glad my name is Larry and not Gary. That doesn’t actually come up that much, but it’s weird that it came up a few times right?
Makoto Angel: Uh…I guess? We’re gonna get the action started right now with a multi-team tag battle to see who will face Mike and Son at Bushido and-
“Jon-Mikl Thor - Energy”
Makoto Angel: Huh? Could it be? That’s….Sal Paradise and Jason Boomtown! The duo collectively known as LoveBoom! They are covered in so MANY feather boas! Why so many boas!?
Larry Grim: Hey guys…why so many boas?
Jason Boomtown: I was wondering the same thing myself.
Sal Paradise: Because you see, we have “IT”. Now what is “IT”? You can’t really define it, but you can spot it sometimes, like if a dude and another dude are seen wearing feather boas. They probably have “IT”. You picking up what I’m putting down Larry?
Larry Grim: Not at all.
Sal Paradise: Look, I’m a keen observer of the human condition when I’m not playing rpgs about cute girls performing alchemy! Ever since I fully recovered from my years long bout of “Heel-itis” I realized that EBW is lacking some of that “IT” factor, and THAT is why I’m back, I’m covered in more boas than ever before, and I got the future right here with me. Jason Boomtown! Sure, he’s got a tank, and yes, he does let me ride in it. That has very very 49% to do with why I team with him though.
Jason Boomtown: He’s helping me bring the BOOM with the boas apparently? Look Sal, since we’re out here, I’d really like to apologize for costing us the belts and-
Sal Paradise: Hey, we’re cool Boomtown. We’re gonna get there again. Trust me on this. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I used to do this with a legit alcoholic ginger who wouldn’t understand friendship and loyalty if it kicked him as hard as he kicked. He’s dead now. Very very dead….but you…you’re the real deal. So let’s have a seat and enjoy the show shall we?
Jason Boomtown: You got it. He wasn’t THAT bad was he?
Sal Paradise: As bad a friend as Camilo Ortega. Say one thing they don’t like and they’ll kick you to the curb.
Jason Boomtown: Speaking from experience?
Sal Paradise: …Speaking for someone else.
EBW: XP

1. EBW World Tag Team Championship #1 Contender: Subculture/Picky Minch vs. Jammer/Benjamin vs. Tower/Turbo vs. Viper/Razorblade
-The opening match saw Blood 4 Blood, Dan Club, Eagleland Gladiators, and Kaiba Corp. collide in a match to see who would face Mike and Son next for the EBW World Tag Team Championships at Bushido. A frantically paced match, which saw the Glads especially trying to pick a fight with Kaiba Corp. since the traitor Viper switched sides and took the cash. Jammer and Benji were running wild late in the match, when Tower used his massive frame to take them both to the outside. Legal man Turbo hit a series of shoulder blocks on Subculture after ducking his KO Punch, and hit a T-Bone Suplex. Viper lowblowed Turbo and rolled out of the ring to escape Tower. Subculture recovered and hit the CounterCulture on Turbo for the pin and the win.
Winners: Subculture[o]/Picky Minch via CounterCulture on Turbo -> Pin
Makoto Angel: Whoa! That Viper is a slithery snake! Hey! I just got-
Larry Grim: And Blood 4 Blood won the match, probably not how they would have liked, but for the shooters managed by Little Mac, they’re willing to take the win any way they can get it. Jammer and Tower are bickering, with Jammer going to get the ring steps to see him eye to eye,but everyone can agree the real spoiler here was Viper and Kaiba Corp. The action with the Eagleland Gladiators isn’t over yet though folks, as Apple Kid is standing by with Alison Chains, who takes on Siren next!
Backstage
Apple Kid: Hey wait a minute! When did I become a roving reporter around here?! I mean, I know we’re looking to fill the gap, but Ninten and Gary do that stuff. That Miss Xtra was a hot tamale…nothing on sweet sweet Minako though! Hey! Maybe she’d do- no Steve, you’re right. She’s the star of the hit show Minako in Euroland, which is currently in its 8th Season somehow! Oh well, I’m here FOR NOW, joined by Alison Chains, a former double champ! She had the Television Championship, and she was World Tag Team Champions with Christina Angel, the ACE of EBW’s Women’s Division. That’s quite the rub right there.
Alison Chains: Rub? Am I rubbing on you? Sorry, I just get lonely sometimes.
Apple Kid: Huh?
Alison Chains: I thought I had a real thing going with Cat in the Hat again. We were really trying, but then I remembered that he’s probably not real, and I was just making out with an old soup can. Old habits die hard, especially when it comes to dating. The other day, I was gonna meet a tinder date. I go to open the car door for him, and what do you know, force of habit, I accidentally opened the trunk.
Apple Kid: Why would you-
Alison Chains: Next thing you know, the guy in trunk gets out and runs away! The tinder date was like “who was that?!” and I’m all like “oh, you’re getting jealous already huh?” and it just didn’t work out. Next time I’m gonna try E-Harm.
Apple Kid: You mean E-Harmony?
Alison Chains: Do I?
Apple Kid: ….
Alison Chains: ….
Apple Kid: Um…I-
Alison Chains: *turns to the camera* Hi kids, welcome to The Alison Chains show! Can you say hi? Say hi please. SAY HI TO ME! I’m going through some stuff! Today, we’re gonna do something wicked cool! We’re going to batter a Siren! I thought they were only mythical sea creatures, but it turns out it’s REAL!
Apple Kid: She’s a Gladiator Alison. You’ve met her before.
Alison Chains: If that’s true, why didn’t she say hi when I SCREAMED IN HER EAR!?
Apple Kid: She’s deaf?
Alison Chains: FAKER! Hey kids, have you ever eaten an apple down to the core before? What’s up with the seeds? Today, we’re gonna really get in there and figure it all ou-
Apple Kid: I’M LEAVING!
Alison Chains: DON’T RUN! IT’S A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT FOR THE KIDS! YES THEY DO EXIST! THEY SOUND LIKE MY DEAD RELATIVES!
2. Women’s Singles: Siren vs. Alison Chains
-The next match saw the sexy flexy Siren of the Eagleland Gladiators take on the loose cannon Alison Chains, who chased Apple Kid all the way to the ring, before she remembered what it was she was doing. She played it off like she was still out of it, but caught Siren off guard, and went to work. Siren had the bigger bod, but Chains had the experience and high pain tolerance. Siren was still a novice in the ring, but she was far and away more impressive physically, while Chains was trying to figure out if the dark circles around her eyes were from makeup or not. Late in the match, Darkness Aoi could be seen watching on with her cadre of associates. Christina Angel came down to keep them at bay to a wild reaction. Despite the action on the outside the wild animal Chains was focused and winning out. Until a chain assisted move that would have gotten her DQ’d anyways, was ducked, and Siren lifted her up into the Torture Rack. At first Chains was going “Yippie!” but she quickly threw up and seemingly blacked out, ending the match in a Referee Stoppage, and leaving Siren in need of a shower.
Winner: Siren via Torture Rack -> Referee Stoppage
Makoto Angel: Gross!
Larry Grim: What did Alison eat before- nevermind I don’t really want to know. That unsettles my stomach…MY stomach…I don’t HAVE ONE!
Makoto Angel: But you love tacos!
Larry Grim: That is my curse. I have to…put a bucket in there.
Makoto Angel: Oh. Well in any case another big win for Siren of the Eagleland Gladiators. The word is that Ice and Siren, the chiseled amazonian warriors representing Ike Madamle’s Gladiators are going to give Christina and Chains the rematch they were asking for. Now they have the momentum, but I can see Christina trying to challenge Ice right now, so-
Makoto Angel: WAIT LOOK!
Makoto Angel: Darkness Aoi is attacking Alison Chains! We thought she had gone backstage, but she just went around Christina! Why is the Television Champion attacking Chains?! She’s grabbing a mic.
Darkness Aoi: THAT is what you all cheer?! You love that huh? Whatever THAT is in the ring? That waste of space on the card. She gets the attention. You have no problem letting her make a fool of herself. Would she pass a drug test? Why don’t you screen her huh? I’m just going to call that one out right now. She lost this Television Championship, and we nearly lost it forever to the competition. I TOLD you they would roll over this roster, but I saved this title and kept it here. I’m insulted that she is a part of the lineage. It SICKENS me…about as much as she was sickened in the ring. That puddle of puke over there, that is what she is worth, and if you love her so much, that is what you’re all worth too. Just sit back and watch a true champion going forward. I’ll carry this division on my back IN SPITE OF YOU!
Backstage
Good News Gary crawled out of the dumpster, with a banana on top of his top hat.
Good News Gary: That was….worse than I expected. I- whoa…who is that coming up? Please don’t throw my back in!
Rama Raju: Allow me to help you friend.
Rama Raju took the banana off the top of Gary’s hat and tossed it into the trash.
Good News Gary: Oh…that’s Good News! Thank you! I was just about to call my best best friend Rains to come and help me wash this garbage off. He’s condensation personified after all.
Rama Raju: I’m….sure he is.
Good News Gary: But this is great too. Wait, where are you going?
Rama Raju: You heard him right? Seto Kaiba asked me a question. If he wants to know…I’ll be happy to answer him.
Good News Gary: Whoa! Is Raju going to face off with Kaiba here and now! I need to follow him, and- excuse me, you’re in my wa-
Lola Tide: COME ANY CLOSER, AND I’LL SEND YOU TO A WATERY GRAVE!
Hyde Tide: And this beach…is FULL OF WATER! So like…that’s a big grave!
Good News Gary: Hey! I was just-
Hyde Tide: You want to know what happened to the last person that messed with the pirate siblings? HE DIED…or so I’m told! He was a very very old man, and it was probably his time!
Good News Gary: I don’t understand what’s going on here?
Lola Tide: So, are you gonna help us talk to President Swift about getting a job or not?
Good News Gary: What? No! I don’t know you. You’re threatening me!
Hyde Tide: Did we though?
Good News Gary: Very much so!
Lola Tide: Are you hoisting my mast?
Good News Gary: What? I would NEVER uh…hoist your mast.
Hyde Tide: Lo, my brain is worried it can’t form new memories. Uh, are we broken?
Lola Tide: We did hit that rock when Captain Kain threw us out. We should maybe sit down.
President Swift: What is this Gary? You found some of Jackson Kain’s castoffs?
Hyde Tide: That’s right! We’re pirates!
President Swift: I see that. I can very clearly see that. The girl has got an eye patch on her left eye, the dude has got one on his right, and I’m assuming whatever happened happened at the exact same time. That bird on your shoulder…is very fake…but you’re clearly pirates. You’ve apparently been running around saying so all day. It has been established.
Lola Tide: Just because we have concussions doesn’t mean we don’t have feelings!
President Swift: Right…right.
Hyde Tide: We are pirates, WITH CONCUSSIONS, who have FEELINGS!
President Swift: Indeed.
Lola Tide: Do NOT let us fall asleep.
Hyde Tide: Yeah, please don’t let us fall asleep.
President Swift: *sigh* So you want a job huh?
Hyde Tide: That’s RIGHT!
President Swift: Uh-huh…SECURITY!!!
Lola Tide: CHEESE IT!

Trevor Mach was led to a table by The Assessor and The Witness. He was sat down and strapped into the chair willingly, as The Auditor sat on the other side, humming as he attached his pen to the device that would drain Trevor of his blood while he wrote.
The Auditor: Mr. Mach, I have SO been looking forward to this day. I’ve cleared my whole schedule for it. What a delightful surprise it was to find out you wished to lay your sins out for me to indulge upon. I simply can not wait.
Trevor Mach: Get your fill. Count up my sins Auditor. Every single one of them. I don’t need them anymore. I don’t want them anymore.
The Auditor: But sin is the weight on your shoulders is it not?
Trevor Mach: Not anymore. The weight was taken off already. I’m only here putting on this show for you, because I want to get answers.
The Auditor: Yes, about Kishin Ki-
Trevor Mach: About you.
The Preacher stepped out of the darkness behind The Auditor.
The Preacher: Dig it baby, he wants to know about our little association it seems.
Trevor Mach: No, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Kishin Kid suddenly appeared out of the shadows right next to Trevor, staring him in the face.
Kishin Kid: Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t batter you here and now.
Trevor Mach: Take your shot kid, but then The Auditor wouldn’t get what he wants.
The Auditor: He’s right, I DO wish you would wait your turn.
Kishin Kid: He underestimates me.
Trevor Mach: No, I know all about you, and I know Tack whooped you in the Dome. If we’re going to have a match at Bushido, I’d make sure Hell provides dental coverage, cause I’m going to knock some teeth out.
Kishin Kid: I was too easy on Tack. They wanted him to join us. He couldn’t do that if I killed him!
The Preacher: His lust was insatiable. Would have made for the perfect addition.
Trevor Mach: So you all remember, but these people don’t, so you’re barking up the wrong tree. They know Tack the hero, the side of him that’s my best friend and always has been. He’s here, but the hedonist….skipped town.
The Preacher: But you’re still here baby. You’ve still got the fire inside. I can see it. I look into your eyes, and I see what you truly are.
Trevor Mach: I am what I am. It seems that Auditor clued you in on things.
The Preacher: I stated into the abyss, and the abyss stared back baby. I saw it all on my own. But yes, I do know that my friend here, has been around for a long time.
The Auditor: I haven’t changed, and neither have you Mach. Azrael never stopped fighting the “good fight” but we know you are corruptible. We’ve seen the Malice Rider.
Trevor Mach: You’re a little too late. The Malice Rider doesn’t control me, I control the Malice Rider. Corruptible no more. Flawed? Yes. Work in progress? Always. Corruptible? No. I got a guy in my corner that you can never beat, therefore you can never beat me.
The Auditor: This bores me. I wish to discuss the matter at hand.
Trevor Mach: I’ll pour out the sins of who I used to be, just as soon as you answer a question.
The Auditor: Do you wish to know if it was us that attacked you that night? The incident on the motorcycle? You wish to know if we put the thought into Dougie’s head to go after you correct?
Trevor Mach: For starters. Yes.
The Auditor: That’s a simple one. No we did not. Yes, we do know who did, and we WILL divulge that information, just as soon as we get our work done. Now, let’s us begin with a fun time period for you. Tell us all about “Fenrir”.
Trevor Mach: …Better settle in.
3. EBW Television Championship: Geoff Garrett(c) vs. Johnny Starbound
-The third match of the night saw Geoff Garrett take on Johnny Starbound, with the Television Championship on the line, one of the biggest prizes in the sport, battled over by two guys who were on a local affiliate station wrestling for Mid-South not that long ago. You never know WHERE you’re gonna end up. Garrett controlled the action during the opening minutes. He catapulted Starbound into the corner turnbuckle and scored a two count. Garrett then went for a figure-four, but Johnny countered him into a small package for a near fall. Starbound kept off the ground and started working his high risk pace that has somehow not injured him yet, though he gave it his best shot with a Tope Suicida to the outside. Garrett regained control on the outside, but during the Jackie Fargo strut, Starbound retured to his feet and blasted Double G with a Pele Kick. Who is Pele? Ask Xuxa. Who is Xuxa? Don't worry about it. It's a wrestling match. Starbound whipped Double G into the ring steps, which was also where his signature guitar was placed, and Bobby Throngold the wood master would be able to tell you that balsa wood is normally very weak, but in the shape of a guitar, you might as well get hit with an anvil. It's like a title belt to the top of your back and neck being able to knock you out. We don't know how it works, it just works. Starbound rolled Garrett back into the ring and hit the 450 Splash onto Double G, before pinning him for the 1-2-3. Johnny Starbound of Samurai Ifrit is the NEW EBW Television Champion!
Winner: Johnny Starbound via 450 Splash -> Pin -> NEW EBW Television Champion!
Johnny Starbound: Oh look at that! I truly am Starbound! Johnny Two Belts over her- well no this is a Ring isn’t it? Johnny Two Titles over here! Haha! Samurai Ifrit is burning up EBW! Mike Thunder is the best veteran in the sport cause he sees the writing on the wall and got on the winning side! They REALLY have hit a stride now with yours truly on board, because I mean look at me! If you want a guy that can throw his body around the ring with several rotations involved, accept no substitutes. Oh, I know, I’ve heard the critics. Some of you want to see some “rasslin”. I heard it all from the southern hick fans already! Did you not see the Overkill Ladder Match at Victory Explosion 17? You marks are addicted to the high spots. You CRAVE them! You have to see your flips, but don’t worry, I’m your drug dealer! I’ve got them all! This sport has been in the doldrums without people like me. You know you want to see a return of the action you saw in the C-X-J Division don’t you? Remember that? What about the Infinity Division? The replacement that Trevor Mach instituted and then killed, when he personally got bored of it! It was the future, and he killed it! That’s fine. I’m gonna bring it back, and I’m gonna do so, by taking out guys like DORK Angel first of all! The big man busts out a Moonsault every once in a while and calls himself an Angel huh? DORK Angel can barely get himself off the ground! I can flip off these ropes ALL DAY! Just remember that the future is in the air, and Johnny Starbound is YOUR BRAND NEW EBW TELEVISION CHAMPION! REMEMBER THAT DORK ANGEL AHAHAHA!
Reefside Casino Hotel
New EBW Black Shirts Josh and Kyle were standing by in the lobby, attempting to assist with security given how many EBW wrestlers were currently inside the building.
Josh: *sigh* You ever wonder why we're Black Shirts?
Kyle: How do you mean?
Josh: I mean all the elite security get those fancy Red Shirts like Saxon and Novus.
Kyle: Gee, I don't know man, I mean Geoff Garrett is the boss, and his wife Karen Angle Garrett helps him decide these things, and you keep stealing her yogurt.
Josh: Well, she doesn't label them! How am I supposed to know?
Kyle: Did you BRING the yogurt?!
Josh: I hardly see how that's relevant.
As they bantered back and forth, a solemn figure approached them slowly.
Kyle: I explicitly told you I didn't want any part of your beef with Karen Angle Garrett! Now look at me!
Josh: Well excuse me for expecting a bro to have my back!
Kyle: SHE HAS SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS DUDE! IT'S MEDICATED!
Josh: THAT'S THE BEST PART! IT REALLY BRINGS OUT THE RASPBERRY!
The figure drew closer.
Kyle: It's like you're always looking for reasons to antagonize her.
Josh: Can you blame me! She comes in on her high horse everyday.
Kyle: That's a scooter dude! She JUST had ankle surgery!
Josh: Hey isn't that Rama Raju, the guy we were paid by Kaiba to...you know...stop?
Kyle: He's actually here?!
Rama Raju: ...Please step aside.
Josh and Kyle: AAAAHHHHH!!!
Backstage
Vape: Perhaps you’re here because you’ve heard of my new ability. The rumors are true. When I am pushed to my absolute limit, I can tap into the mystical power of the GOUT FORCE! It allows me to strengthen my resolve with the might of GOUT! It’s honestly worse than losing, so I won’t be doing it. If you came to see a display of yummy GOUT, then you’ll be sorely disappointed. However, if you came to hear Bashin Dan speak, then you’re in LUCK! HIT IT DAN!
Bashin Dan: Wow. What? Wow. Uh…take care of that gout buddy. I’m worried about you…like usual. *sigh* Sorry folks, but he asked if he could introduce me. I wasn’t expecting that. You’d figure by now I would, but I’m starting to realize…I can be just a smidge oblivious. I know, I’m surprised too. I’ve been doing some thinking this week, about what it takes to be a hero. I was told it involves doing the right thing of course, and for me, I think in EBW the right thing to do is to keep chasing that dream of being World Champion once again. To do that, I’m going to have to work my way through one name that I’ve been looking to mix it up with, and as far as I know, he’s free for Bushido. So to that end I challenge Zyro Kurogane to a match at Bushido. Winner gets the next shot at the World Champion. I know you think you’ve got it with Seto Kaiba, but what if he loses. You know it could happen. He DID lose…to me. I’m the King of Games now. I know you want that title. So why don’t we put that on the line as well. I await your answer, and my blood is boiling in anticipation over the answer.
Vape: …I seriously have a problem with gout, but I’m trying to see it in a positive light. It’s…it’s not working.
Back in the ring, Ninten was standing by with Tack Angel.
Ninten: Folks, it’s been a HOT night in Reefside, and I got a little sunburned, but that’s OK, cause it’s been worth it to be here! Tack, how ya doing man?
Tack Angel: Um…the home life has gotten complicated Ninten! It’s like history might be repeating itself, except none of us really remember that, so forget I said anything! Listen, I was ready to come down here for my promo with you, and I was waiting for Little Mac to come get for it, but then I open the door to find a bunch of ladies in itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikinis giving the old man a rub down.
Ninten: Well, I’m glad we’re all having a good time over here on the beach. What did you think about what Johnny Starbound said earlier?
Tack Angel: He made some claims, and he laid it all out. Ya know, as a father, I’m at the point where I hope my kids don’t get bullied, because I can’t stand bullies, and that Johnny Starbound is a bully. I am NOOOOT a DORK! My name is Tack, that’s obvious, and I THINK he knows that! That’s what I have to say about that! When it comes to everything else, it doesn’t matter HOW he wrestles, just as long as he steps into that ring with the one and only holder of the Royal Flush. Hadn’t been done before, and it won’t be done every again, but don’t blame me. That’s a Zyro Kurogane move right there. Congrats on the TV title too, but The Pushpin Seraphim, is looking at that EBW World Championship situation more than anything, and Rama Raju is that new blood that I’d really like to test myself against sooner than later. All eyes are on that guy and-
Ninten: I think all eyes should be on the Reefside Casino Hotel.
Tack Angel: What? Why?
Ninten: Look up there!
At the top of the hotel was Johnny Starbound, with a big spotlight on him, as he posed with his belt and the World Team Ring.
Tack Angel: That’s Starbound! Hey Starbound! I’m right here! You want some! Come and get some! COME ON!
Back from the commercial, Makoto Angel had left the commentary table to follow Tack Angel in the hotel, that was by now getting out of hand after World Champion Rama Raju had already caused an apparent scene earlier in the night.
Makoto Angel: Tack! Tack, where are you going?
Tack Angel: Starbound stood on top of the hotel and pointed at me! I could see him mouthing DORK too! Gotta show baby Haruka what happens to bullies who point at you from across the parking lot atop a hotel like that! That’s like the second time someone has done that to me! Gah!
Nani: He is right, we should destroy Starbound.
Makoto Angel: Hey! Nani?!
Nani: Hai, Nani des.
Makoto Angel: You’re NOT supposed to be here!
Nani: I go where Tack goes.
Yog’tara: And I go wherever I feel like!
Makoto Angel: You’re here too?!
Patty Wagon: And I am sure that Starbound broke some building code violations with his little stunt!
Makoto Angel: You STILL haven’t told me what YOU are doing here! *sigh* Back to the you guys up front.
Larry Grim: What’s uh…what’s going on with the uh…the ladies there?
Apple Kid: I don’t know, but does it feel familiar?
Larry Grim: A little. Isn’t that weird?
Apple Kid: So weird.
4. Singles: Jaden Yuki vs. Hazen
-”Absolutely Flawless” Jaden Yuki took on Hazen next, in a clash of styles. While Jaden was cocky and brash, the cool methodical Hazen was having none of it, using his superior mat skills to rub Jaden’s face in the dirt so to speak. Razorblade was on the outside to assist Hazen, but at one point, Viper ran down to get his attention, and the two men ran off. Hazen was only slightly distracted, and when Jaden tried to capitalize, he ate a big boot for his troubles, but he showed that heart that has become synonymous with Dan Club and kicked out at 2.9. Hazen lifted him for the Death Valley Driver, but before he could CLUTCH the WRIST, Jaden escaped and rolled him for a nearfall. Jaden got up first, and hit Hazen in the midsection, before planting him with the GX Factor. 1-2-3! A surprise win for Jaden Yuki!
Winner: Jaden Yuki via GX Factor -> Pin
Larry Grim: Jaden Yuki with the win!
Apple Kid: That’s gonna inflate the ego a few notches for sure. It makes you wonder where the rest of Kaiba Corp. ran off to.
Larry Grim: Well that’s a happy note, so let’s crush that immediately and bring everyone down, as we travel back to…wherever they are, as Trevor Mach continues to go through the “audit” from Hell. *sigh*
?
The Auditor: And the situation with Tack Angel. You betrayed your friend did you not?
Trevor Mach: Me? Not quite. You got your facts mixed up.
The Auditor: Your friend needed help. That was obvious. Instead you stood against him. You seemed to do that a lot.
Trevor Mach: Difference of opinion didn’t mean I wanted to hurt the guy. What he was doing wasn’t something I could support even then, especially now. That being said, we all fall short.
The Auditor: *sigh* You’re going to bring that up again? I do not wish to hear preaching Mr. Mach. I am here for your sins.
Trevor Mach: And I keep telling you, they are already handled.
The Auditor: …This does not satisfy me. Even as you look pale and weary, I still don’t find myself satisfied by this. It is most upsetting.
Trevor Mach: Infernals can’t have my soul ever, and THAT is what bothers you most.
The Auditor: You truly see yourself as the good guy now don’t you?
Trevor Mach: If I’m good, it’s only because my God is good.
The Auditor: *sigh* You’re ruining this for me.
Trevor Mach: If it makes you feel any better, I’m losing a lot of blood.
The Auditor: You think you’re above it all now huh?
Trevor Mach: It just…doesn’t matter as much anymore.
The Auditor: So you’re willing to give up everything that you believed in before?
Trevor Mach: I just have the proper perspective now. Now more ego. No more pride. I still have ambition. We have to try to do the best we can and use our gifts. My gift is fighting. I’m still going to break your teeth, don’t worry about that.
Kishin Kid: You act like we can’t touch you, but you’re the one in the chair bleeding out right now.
Trevor Mach: And yet, here we are. I’m waiting to be impressed.
The Auditor: You feel you’re above our influence, and that corruption is beyond you. I would call that ego sir. I would call that pride.
Trevor Mach: It’s called faith. You could batter me right now. You probably will. However, you can’t break me.
The Auditor: I find that line of thinking fascinating, cause I doubt you’d be this smug if we were to corrupt someone you care about instead, like your children for example?
Trevor Mach: Well then I would kill you.
The Auditor: Sounds hypocritical to me.
Trevor Mach: If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18:6.
The Auditor: Of course. Right. Mr. Mach, I grow tired of this. I have all that I’m going to get, and this will conclude our meeting. Of course, you will get the answer you were seeking, and the knowledge that we accept your invitation to Bushido. Kishin Kid will face you in a Bushido Rules match.
Trevor Mach: Outstanding. Kid, very rarely do people get to lose back to back events to the Bad Dudes, so consider yourself lucky.
The Auditor walked over to Trevor Mach, and he whispered a name into his ear.
Trevor Mach: …How could he have-
The Auditor: Our business is concluded. Deal with him Stygian Abyss.
Kishin Kid, The Assessor, and The Witness began to batter Trevor Mach, until Tack, Picky, Subbie, and Little Mac kicked open the door and started to fight them off, while a bloody Geoff Garrett and the Red Shirts tried to maintain order. The Lakitu feed cut out in the chaos.
VIP Room
Good News Gary: Good News Everyone! I’m finally here in the VIP Room, but Seto Kaiba is nowhere to be seen, but we do see the EBW World Champion Rama Raju, sitting in the big chair as it were, and trying some of that high quality champagne…which he apparently doesn’t like.
Rama Raju: If that is what accounts for “the high life”, I will gladly pass.
Good News Gary: Champ, what happened here?
Rama Raju: I wanted to answer the question he posed. Why did I choose him over Zyro Kurogane? The previous champ had a rightful claim to the title shot, as he just lost it, and was on the winning team, but I made it clear that I wanted Seto Kaiba, and I think I’ve made that known since I debuted.
Good News Gary: Which is still crazy to think wasn’t all that long ago. So why DID you choose Seto Kaiba over Zyro Kurogane?
Rama Raju: I have goals…Mr. Gary. It was conducive to my goals. I won’t get into it anymore than that now, but Kaiba will know before it’s over. I wanted to make it easy for him, but now that he is gone, Rude will need a bag of ice for attempting to jump me, and I will make sure he knows the hard way at Bushido. That’s all I have to say on the subject. I intend to watch my counterpart defend her title now.
Good News Gary: Oh that’s right! The EBW Women’s World Championship main event is up NEXT!
5. EBW Women’s World Championship: Wendy Mustang(c) vs. Lainey Strong
-Main event time, as Wendy Mustang put her World Championship on the line against Lainey Strong. Mayor Strong himself was seen in the front row, excited to see Lainey’s first title shot since uh…something happened with Tack Angel? Why can’t I remember? I’m the match writing guy. Wendy extended a fist, but Lainey turned her back on it and went into her corner, drawing boos from the crowd. They started shoving after the bell rang and then traded elbows. They eventually calmed down and went to the more traditional tie-up until Strong kicked Mustang to the mat. Shoulderblock by Strong but Mustang avoided the senton and they both returned to their feet. They locked knuckles and traded wristlocks, Strong charged Mustang in the corner, but Mustang moved out of the way. Now it was Mustang that charged in, but Strong threw her over the top rope down to the floor. Strong jumped off the side of the ring onto Mustang to the floor. They brawled on the outside, before Mustang threw Strong back into the ring. Strong threw Mustang in the corner and hit a hard elbow, Mustang went for a Lariat, but Strong side stepped her and hit a bionic elbow. Rolling kick by Strong, and she covered Mustang for a two count. Strong choked Mustang against the ropes and threw her down by the hair. Celtic whip by Strong, but Mustang hit a headscissors. Spear by Mustang and Strong rolled out of the ring, Mustang got on the top turnbuckle and dove out onto Strong with a diving crossbody. Mustang slid Strong back in and hit a diving elbow smash, shoulder tackle by Mustang and she hit a rolling neckbreaker for a two count. Mustang applied a cross-arm submission and stomped on Strong, she got on the second turnbuckle, but Strong got up and headbutted her. Big suplex by Strong, and she covered Mustang for two. Strong kicked Mustang out of the ring and went out after her, hitting a scoop slam. Back in the ring Strong choked Mustang, she picked her up, but Mustang hits a Rolling Elbow. Strong and Mustang traded elbows, Mustang won the battle and went up top, but Strong elbowed her before she could jump off. Running shoulder tackle to the back by Strong, she joined Mustang up top, but Mustang headbutted her into the tree of woe and hit a diving double knee drop. Running elbow to the back by Mustang, she went off the ropes and delivered the Sliding D for a two count. Mustang went up top, but Strong got her feet up on the attempted diving elbow drop. Strong clubbed Mustang into the corner and hit a lariat. Air Raid Crash by Strong and she went up top and hit a diving body press, but Mustang got a hand on the ropes on the cover attempt. Double underhook by Strong, but Mustang got away and hit a spinning backfist. Another one by Mustang, she rolled over Strong and hit a diving elbow drop off the top turnbuckle. She got a two count, but went to the outside, signaling for the finish. As Strong staggered to her feet, Wendy flipped over the top rope and nearly beheaded Lainey with the Mustang Lariat. 1-2-3! Wendy Mustang with the win and the defense against her tag partner. After the match, a bloody and heavily breathing Lainey DID fist bump Wendy, and the two hugged in the middle of the ring to a big reaction.
Winner: Wendy Mustang via Mustang Flipping Lariat -> Pin -> Title Defense!
Makoto Angel: Wow! An unbelievable victory for Wendy Mustang! The ladies showed the roster how it’s done, with talent like Darkness Aoi, Erica, and even Christina Angel watching on.
Larry Grim: A great way to close the show, with the two friends seemingly patching it up, as the heat of battle has a way of working these things out.
Apple Kid: Now the question is, who is next for Wendy Mustang, as her reign clears the first hurdle. A lot of hungry talent out there, and anyone could rise up to try and play spoiler at Bushido.
Larry Grim: That’s true, but the battle to Bushido is about to take a massive turn for several members of the EBW roster, as this weekend, instead of catching a Neon Night, you’re gonna see a COLLISION! Yes, the REAL Collision! The World Games 2023!
Apple Kid: …I hear the name is changing for next year. Apparently someone stupid stole it.
Larry Grim: …Great…great.
Makoto Angel: Uh…goodnight everyone!
Reefside Beach
Tack Angel and Subculture were carrying Trevor Mach to his truck.
Tack Angel: Starbound…that insufferable gadabout! I’m gonna get that guy.
Subculture: Oh yeah? Then what?
Tack Angel: Huh?
Subculture: You’re gonna get him? Elaborate.
Tack Angel: He’s…he’s gonna get it!
Subculture: Get what?
Tack Angel: IT!
Subculture Uh-huh. Trevor, you dead yet buddy?
Trevor Mach: I…I could use some juice. Anyone got any juice.
Tack Angel: No, but I found this old milk in the back of my fridge and-
Trevor Mach: DON’T DRINK IT!
Tack Angel: Hey! Slapped it right out of my hand!
Subculture: That woke him up.
Tack Angel: *sigh* We’ll get some juice.
Trevor Mach: I’m driving.
Subculture: That’s a terrible idea.
Tack Angel: I’m driving?
Subculture: That’s somehow worse.
Picky Minch: Hey Trev! What did The Auditor say to you?
Subculture: Oh there is Picky…NOT helping out!
Picky Minch: He’s got TWO shoulders guys. What do you want me to do?
Trevor Mach: Heh…he said something I couldn’t believe, but it’s funny, cause who else could it be?
Tack Angel: You talking about that highway incident the other night? You told me about that. Said Dougie lost it in the process, but he’s somehow fine now? You saying you know who did that?
Trevor Mach: Yeah…I know…that I’ve got to find w00t.

Reefside Highway
Trevor drove down the dark streets looking around. His anger was growing as the color returned to his cheeks from the “blood letting” the night before. He looked over on the dash and saw a picture of him holding his kids, and that cheered him up, right until the heart stopping jumpscare of someone suddenly sitting beside him.
Chris P. Bacon: Looking for him are you?
Trevor Mach: SWEET LORD ALMIGHTY! What are you doing Chris?! You driving to scare me off the road Chris?! You nearly scared me off the road…CHRIS!
Chris P. Bacon: Forgive me, but you’ve been driving for hours, and I didn’t know when it would be a good time to pop in.
Trevor Mach: Never would have been an option worth taking. AT LEAST wait until I STOP!
Chris P. Bacon: Sorry.
Trevor Mach: If the blood wasn’t flowing before…it is now. Good thing too…I’m out of juice.
Chris P. Bacon: You got the information you were looking for?
Trevor Mach: And all it cost me were a few pints. The good news is I was only NEARLY out of blood. I only ALMOST died! Tack tried to drive me to the hospital, and the wheel caught on fire.
Chris P. Bacon: I see the burn marks.
Trevor Mach: He hadn’t started the truck Chris….he just sat here.
Chris P. Bacon: The wonders of the universe that are even beyond us. God might not want that man driving.
Trevor Mach: What’s with the intervention here? You and that pal of yours Jacob…he’s here too right?
Chris P. Bacon: …He might be in the back of the truck, yes.
Trevor Mach: Of course. You gave me a lot to think about before, but you’re not supposed to interfere, remember?
Chris P. Bacon: Doesn’t really matter as much anymore. We’re all starting to disappear, and we don’t know why.
Trevor Mach: What?
Chris P. Bacon: Yeah, I know. It’s weird right? Tell me it’s weird.
Trevor Mach: It’s a little weird that you wouldn’t know.
Chris P. Bacon: I don’t NOT know things, so it’s weird to NOT know why we’re all disappearing. Some of us…don’t even remember the ones who are gone.
Trevor Mach: OR! OR! OR! You just made up a bunch of people that don’t exist?
Chris P. Bacon: …Possible.
Trevor Mach: Do celestials get brain damage?
Chris P. Bacon: You tell me.
Trevor Mach: …Well you got me on that one. Ouch.
Chris P. Bacon: That was over the line. We’re supposed to be the nice ones and-
Trevor Mach: No, it was a sick burn. Take the victory lap.
Chris P. Bacon: Well, I-
Trevor Mach: Seriously, why are you here?
Chris P. Bacon: I don’t have answers as to why, but we now both know who might.
Trevor Mach: w00t. What happened that he could force a bunch of people to act against their will? Just what is he?
Chris P. Bacon: What are you?
Trevor Mach: A Christian, a husband, a father, a wrestler, a farmer, and a living time capsule of the 80’s.
Chris P. Bacon: What ELSE are you?
Trevor Mach: …A snappy dresser?
Chris P. Bacon: A celestial. You might not want to embrace that part of you, but it is there. That fire inside, comes from that place. You can’t turn it off anymore either. Twice before you slammed the door shut on it, but that’s not possible anymore is it?
Trevor Mach: My fault for not thinking my joke with Yog’tara and Tack through. Still worth it though. The fire doesn’t control me anymore. I control it.
Chris P. Bacon: So I’ve seen. You’re not the only one like that though. Azrael had a friend. Azrael had-
Trevor Mach: Azazel. Right.
Chris P. Bacon: He remembered who he was, but how did he reawaken it? I don’t even know. Everything is so dark when I try to look anymore. That’s why I prefer this form. Here, I can still see life. I can look at this picture here, and see life and happiness. We miss that so much.
Chris grabbed up the picture to look at it, and another picture fell from behind it. He scooped that one up as well and saw a young Trevor getting a hug in the park from a happy older woman.
Chris P. Bacon: Margaret right?
Trevor Mach: …Yeah.
Chris P. Bacon: She means a lot to you.
Trevor Mach: In all the places I’ve been, and apparently all the lives I’ve had, no one contributed more to me being me. God gave me a life and soul, but she gave me my heart.
Chris P. Bacon: When was this picture taken?
Trevor Mach: …1992.
Chris P. Bacon: I see. That was pretty close then to-
Trevor Mach: Yeah. Yeah it was. *sigh* I assumed he’d be around here, keeping an eye on things. If he wants to mess with me, he’d have to be around here.
Chris P. Bacon: He acts like an Infernal, and they have a lot more pull in a world that’s full of people that would act just like them. This world has its bright spots, but it dims when I see the world hate people like you.
Trevor Mach: “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.” John 15:18-27
Chris P. Bacon: Getting that memorized huh?
Trevor Mach: I uh…I got it on my phone. In fact, I just pulled it from-
Chris P. Bacon: He’s in front of you.
Trevor Mach: What?
Chris P. Bacon: Look.
Trevor slammed on the brakes, as he saw the face of his old nemesis illuminated by the headlights, as she stood in the middle of the road. Trevor quickly grabbed the Gutsy Bat and jumped out of the truck.
Trevor Mach: YOU!
w00t: You could have hit me with the truck right then and there.
Trevor Mach: I have questions for you w00t.
w00t: Please…call me Azazel.
Trevor Mach: What happened to you?
w00t: You happened to me…and you’ve never STOPPED happening to me, and you will NEVER STOP HAPPENING TO ME! I realized that as you spared me at Victory Explosion. You refused to continue the cycle and play the game. You brought this all on yourself. It occurred to me, that the only way I could escape this, if I get rid of-
Trevor Mach: Me?
w00t: Everything…and not just everything that is…everything that was. You tried to kill me on The Intercessor. You tried to keep me from my destiny. Who doesn’t love second chances?
Trevor Mach: I don’t think s-
Trevor prepared to swing the Gutsy Bat, but w00t lifted his hand, which was enough to see Trevor flying back into the windshield of his truck. As he did this, two black wings sprouted from his back, as the color left his eyes.
w00t: You deny who you are and what you are, while I’ve finally had the chance to embrace what I carry within me. Heh…all those matches…wasting my time being humiliated by trash. What difference does any of that make now? HAHAHAHAHA!
w00t flew into the night sky laughing, as he disappeared into the distance.
Chris P. Bacon: Trevor?! Are you alright?!
Trevor Mach: It’s broken…definitely broken. *cough cough*
Chris P. Bacon: What?! Your arm? Your back? YOUR NECK!?
Trevor Mach: What? No, my windshield! Help me up!
Chris P. Bacon: Oh right.
Ninten: Ninten here with another episode of EBW World, and I want to remind everyone that we are currently holding auditions for a new uh…Miss Xtra. Not really Miss Xtra, but someone LIKE her. We need a new host if I’m being perfectly honest. We do pretty good ratings with these segments, and it helps that they play repeatedly on ENN most of the day, buuuuut the ratings were higher when we had a sassy bubbly girl with daddy issues and exposed skin….go figure. We’re gonna be staying in Reefside for Xcite, and somehow we have YET to be kicked out of the Casino Hotel. Again, go figure. It’ll be a big night with Gianna Rambaldi returning to the ring for the first time since her excursion to take part in a 4-Way match. Alison Chains was attacked by Darkness Aoi last week, and might be looking for revenge, if she’s not…doing whatever Alison Chains does. Blood 4 Blood will battle The Stygian Inquisition in 6-Man Tag action! Hawk of the Eagleland Gladiators, the most vocal of the bunch, is ready to take on the traitor Viper in singles action. That’s right folks it’s Glad vs. Glad! Hawk was with Sabre earlier, and had THIS to say.
-
Gladiator Locker Room
A beet red Hawk, ripped off his Professor Hawk hat and punched a locker before stepping up next to Sabre.
Hawk: VIPER! YOU WORM! THAT’S WHAT YOU ARE, A SLIMY LITTLE WORM! YOU DON’T DESERVE TO BE A GLADIATOR! WE’RE ALL ABOUT HONOR, RESPECT, INTEGRITY, AND ATHLETIC SUPERIORITY! WE DON’T NEED YOUR CHEAP TRICKS! GRRRR! YOU GOT ME SO FIRED UP! I’m gonna break you….yeah I’m gonna break. I’m going to introduce you to my little friend. MR. PAIN! Mr. Pain will help me break you, and we’re gonna be dancing the CHA CHA on your broken remains!
Sabre: Yo man calm down…calm down. Deep breaths. Look at the keys. Look at the keys. They’re jingling.
Hawk: Yeah…jingling…hehe…*deep breath*
Sabre: Yo Vipe Man, you better be ready, cause in nature, the snake don’t do so well against a Hawk!

Ninten: I think Hawk is a little upset. Beetroot red over there. We’re not done with the card yet though, because we have a stellar main event for you. For the first time ever, it’s gonna be a dream match for Tack Angel, as he teams up with his favorite wrestler Geoff Garrett to take on Samurai Ifrit’s Zyro Kurogane and Johnny Starbound. We’re also going to hear from EBW World Champion Rama Raju AND Seto Kaiba ahead of their collision at Bushido. I’m sorry…did I just say collision? Oops.

Ninen: You see, we’re told that for…reasons that we’re not allowed to really use the word collision very much. Will that be forgotten in a few weeks? Probably. We go from Xcite to Bushido, which will see us go all the way to Edo to Shogun Hall. Why? Cause…it’s called…Bushido? The card is really filling out, and we have a big update for you as well. Lainey Strong hot off her near victory over Wendy Mustang for the World title, is calling out Gianna Rambaldi, and accepting her request for an opponent in the Bushido Den. The Euroland Princess returned from excursion with a chip on her shoulder. She wants to make a statement with this match, and now so does Lainey. Also, we know now that Zyro Kurogane has accepted the challenge laid out by Bashin Dan, and the two former World Champions will have a colli- confrontation in Shogun Hall.

I’d go into it more but…someone named TK just ruined the whole thing, and we’re moving on quickly. We got no time for this. The shows are getting renamed next year and TK is a douche-bag and a plagiarist. HE IS A PLAGIARIST! That is all.

Crystal Heaven - Earth-5
A portal opened into the main throne room of the Star Prince, as an annoyed Tack Angel, Gibson Rickenbacker, and Pirate Bill stepped out onto the floor.
Gibson Rickenbacker: Dis Jackson dude sounds like he’s right up my alley Pirate Man!
Pirate Bill: Yarr, he indeed be a good captain! He and Queen Faris are madly in love too and-
Tack Angel: Yeah yeah yeah! I’m sure Kain is just SO GREAT! Love hearing about it! Please, tell me more while I find a GUN!
Pirate Bill: …Yarr…
Grimoire: Welcome back. Where is Trevor?
Tack Angel: Trev-10? He decided to hang back for a bit considering his entire planet is teetering on the brink of non-existence. He’ll be ready should we come up with a plan. Which reminds me, are we even TRYING to formulate a plan?
Grimoire: Something occurred to me while you were gone.
Tack Angel: Oh yeah? I’m all ears, unless it involves that stupid STUPID Jackson Kain! HOW DARE HE-
Grimoire: *cough*
Tack Angel: …Sorry. It’s not your problem. Not even sure why I’m confiding in you, cause I barely know you.
Grimoire: That’s…an unfortunate truth, but you can confide in me none the less.
Tack Angel: I’m still not even sure who you are.
Grimoire: Um…that is…uh…we can maybe get into that later, but first my breakthrough. So all of my books are called Ages, and inside of Ages tell the tale of other worlds and realities. All of the pages have been turning black, meaning those Ages met a certain doom.
Tack Angel: …Depressing. Go ooon?
Grimoire: Now if an Age ends badly, it should just say so on the last page, but the entire book is gone. It’s like the entirety of that book was erased. It consumed not just the present, but the past, and it started at the first page.
Tack Angel: Yeah…that tracks with what we were talking about before. It HAS to be time travel.
Grimoire: Whatever is happening, is happening in the past. That’s why it strikes without warning, cause it already happened.
Tack Angel: BUT…we’re thinking fourth dimensionally here, so because we’re still here, it means we still have a chance to fix it!
Grimoire: Exactly!
Tack Angel: Problem is, that I’m NOT allowed to do any form of time travel whatsoever. If the Galaxy Police find out, then I’m going to be thrown into prison! They didn’t understand that I needed to send my Mars Championship to the dawn of time! I was supposed to work this all out. See, before all of this nonsense with THE STUPID BEE GUY I was going to have politically arranged marriage to-
Grimoire: Another one?!
Tack Angel: …YES ANOTHER ONE! AS MANY AS I WANT! Where was I? Oh yeah, I was going to have a marriage to the Galaxy Police’s own Patricia Wagon, but since THAT STUPID BEE GUY initiated World War Bee for NO REASON THAT I’M WILLING TO ADMIT TO YOU OR MYSELF, she hasn’t shown up. *sniff* She was gonna be my rescue girl.
Grimoire: I should get back to the Apple Core. They need to know what is going on here, and that we may have an idea of what is taking place, but no idea how to stop it.
Tack Angel: Well..it’s something. We can’t let what’s happening to Earth-10 happen to Earth-5.
Grimoire: That’s very noble and-
Tack Angel: BECAUSE I’LL SHOW STUPID PERFECT EARTH-10 THAT EARTH-5 IS PERFECT-ER, AND THAT I SHOULD PROBABLY GET SOME EARTH-10 WIVES WHEN I SAVE THEM! Hey, maybe I could get like Faris-10 and she could kiss MY Faris, and I could watch, and then that would really show THAT DINGUS JACKSON KAAAAAIN!
Grimoire: ….I’ll see you later Dad.
Tack Angel: What?
Grimoire: Dad…dad….daddio!
Tack Angel: Oh…yeah.
As Grimoire opened his own portal and stepped through, Tack stopped for a moment.
Tack Angel: Dad…dad…daddio? Something very familiar about all this.
Reefside Beach
Bashin Dan sat in the sand at the beach, watching the waves ebbing and flowing. He looked down at his phone, as he saw the missed call from Hope. As he thought about calling her back, a voice from behind him suddenly caught him off guard.
?: I’ve never seen us so conflicted before.
Bashin Dan: Huh?
Dan shot up and turned around, as the world around him suddenly became a black void. The only thing illuminating the darkness around him, was the glowing presence of….himself.
Bashin Dan: What is this?
“Bashin Dan”: Surely you remember who I am.
Bashin Dan: You’re me.
“Bashin Dan”: And you’re me. When the Grand Rolo called you back home, you couldn’t bear to leave your new home, and so one became two. Basically what Tack Angel did…except for the insatiable dark one, and innocent light one. We’re…pretty much the same. Well, we WERE the same up until that moment weren’t we?
Bashin Dan: We’ve gone through different experiences.
“Bashin Dan”: Exactly. The worlds we thought we saved still needed work.
Bashin Dan: But you were there to save them. You’re the Core Hero. You’re the Heart of the Cards. You always know what to do. You always make the right decisions.
“Bashin Dan”: We haven’t changed that much from each other Dan. You’re still that same guy.
Bashin Dan: I’m not so sure who or what I am anymore. I know that I won’t give up, that’s something that won’t ever change. I’ll never give up, but I don’t know if I’m the same person I was…when I was you.
“Bashin Dan”: You DID give up Dan. You gave the bat to Trevor.
Bashin Dan: He’s….holding it…until I get my head on straight.
“Bashin Dan”: What if time is running out? What if you don’t have any time at all to decide what you’re going to do. What does instinct tell you?
Bashin Dan: Instinct? I always used to trust my instincts. It won me so many card games. My instincts tell me, then I’d do what I have to do no matter what. If I can make a difference, then I’m not going to walk away, even if I have doubts about the deck I brought to the battle. I’ll play the cards that I’m dealt.
“Bashin Dan”: I’m glad to hear you say that, because you’re needed here and now. As the Heart of the Cards, we were able to travel through time and space. We saved the world of the future, while also consoling Mai in our present. Remember that? You have a journey you need to make right now.
Bashin Dan: Why now and why me?
“Bashin Dan”: Now because it is time, and you, because I can’t leave my world. I am the only thing keeping it from disappearing like so many others. You need to see what happened. You need to see what IS happening. It’s the only way because it’s how it ALWAYS went down.
Bashin Dan was suddenly enveloped in golden light like his counterpart, and he disappeared to an unknown destination.
?
He found himself on a cold metallic floor. He lifted himself up and looked to see his hands were still glowing gold. He tried to see his reflection the windows of the brightly lit corridor, but stood back in shock at what he saw outside.
A planet being engulfed in fire as two forces, numbering in the millions clashed throughout space and beyond. The fabric of reality itself had come undone, as Sanctum Space from both above and below bled into normal space. The shocking twist of reality staggered Dan, as he rubbed the sweat that formed on his forehead and tried to get a hold of himself. He suddenly realized he wasn’t alone.
Chris P. Bacon: Hello Dan.
Bashin Dan: Chris?! Where am I?
Chris P. Bacon: You’re on board The Intercessor. It’s one of our ships, as we do battle against the denizens of the void known as the Infernals.
Bashin Dan: What?! Where is this happening at? When?
Chris P. Bacon: It’s happening everywhere, and it happened a long time ago, but I do believe it’s about to come to an end.
Bashin Dan: Wait…WHAT IS THAT OUTSIDE?!
Chris P. Bacon: You would know it as “Entity V”, and it is indeed heading for us. The Infernals wish to feed this and all places and things to this manifestation of consumption and entropy. Luckily we have a weapon that will weaken it enough to contain it. The Lightforge, and it is right down that hallway.
Chris pointed, and Dan ran down the hall as quickly as he could. There, he found a sight he was not expecting. He saw what appeared to be Trevor Mach and w00t dressed in ornate armor with wings, fighting each other.
Bashin Dan: Azrael…Azazel….w00t tried to stop Trevor from pushing the button. This button right here.
Bashin Dan stepped forward, still glowing gold as he looked to a dying Azrael, who looked at him confusingly, but pleaded for him to push the button. Dan complied, and the launched the weapon crafted from the Lightforge. It pierced “Entity V” just as it was beginning to envelop the ship. Dan noticed two things in quick order. Someone entered the room with Azrael and Azazel, and one of “Entity V”’s tendrils came into contact with Azazel just as the scene in front him faded to white.
Reefside Beach
Dan bolted awake and looked around. All he could see in the setting sun were kids playing in the water, and all he could hear were birds in the distance. He felt for a moment like his heart was about to burst from his chest, as he stood up and looked around more. It seemed whatever happened was over, but what did it all mean? As he walked away a figure stood back behind a building and radioed in.
Cade Yaggis: I get it now sir, I know why you wanted me to stay back. You wanted to see it play out. I get it now. I think Dan had a very important piece of the puzzle to give us very soon.

Earth-5
Announcer: IT’S TIME FOR THE JIMMY SWIFT SHOW, WITH OUR HOST JIMMY SWIIIIIFT!!!
Jimmy Swift-5: Thank you! Thank you! Let’s get busy! Awo! Awo! Awo! Awo! We have a BIG show today, beyond any show I’ve done, because THE Star Prince is heeeeere! That’s right, our King Tack Angel is joining us today! All hail the conquering hero, who has personally fought back the hordes of mecha bees, and I can only assume they freed those trapped in the honey mines!
Tack Angel: Huh? Oh…I forgo- we’re working on it! Work in progress people! Yeah! Your King loves you! Crystal Fourside has the best sports team…when it’s not being abducted by mecha bees!
Jimmy Swift-5: Well, that’s great to hear, and we do love this place that we’re currently at. Popopop! Haha! But, we’re not here today to talk about [Local Sports Team] am I right? We’re here for Tack Angel baby!
Tack Angel: Yeah! We’re here for m-
Jimmy Swift-5: And it is time you confront your demons!
Tack Angel: HUH?!
Suddenly, Q-Bee appeared on stage and flew over to a chair next to Tack.
Tack Angel Q-Bee?! Wife #147!? What are you doing here?
Q-Bee: Well I-
Baron Von Bee: I INSISTED STAR PRINCE! NYAAAAH!
Baron Von Bee came onto stage as the people booed.
Baron Von Bee: OH BOO YOURSELF! THIS IS A RESCUE MISSION NOT A WAR! World War Bee, I DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO CALL IT THAT….IT IS CATCHY THOUGH!
Tack Angel: You! What are you doing here?
Baron Von Bee: I’m here to reclaim my wife!
Tack Angel: What?! Don’t say that! THEY can hear you!
Baron Von Bee: Yes! It occurred to me that you were hiding the truth from your people, so I arranged this visit so I could expose you as the wife stealing villain that you are!
Tack Angel: Hey! I didn’t steal ANYONE! Q-Bee wanted to be one of my many many many many wives! The five minutes a day or less I get to spend with her, are the best minutes of her life! She LOOOOVES being around me, and she loves it when she gets….”stung” if you catch my drift.
Audience: Ooooo!
Baron Von Bee: NYAH! THAT’S ENOUGH OF THAT! HOW DARE YOU! Q-BEE IS MY WIFE! WE NEVER GOT DIVORCED! YOU STOLE HER FROM ME!
Tack Angel: Hey! There is that word again. I don’t like ANY words that are harsh and referring to me! No insults and no constructive criticism. I’m never wrong! When the Star Prince does it, it’s NOT ILLEGAL! I DID IT, AND I’D TACKIN’ DO IT AGAIN! HOWEVER…in this case, even IF you want to get legal about it, I’ve got you BEAT! Isn’t that right…Lucca-5!
A bookish and shy Lucca-5 came out with thick swirly glasses, unkempt hair, and a large legal book.
Lucca-5: That’s right, Star Prince. Q-Bee was technically “dead” in the legal sense, even if she lived on inside of the symbiote, and was then reconstituted through Azuli.
Jimmy Swift: …Hehe…this is too complicated.
Tack Angel: No, it all makes complete sense, and I will explain it to death as long as I get to bang more of my dream waifus!
Lucca-5: Since she technically died, “Til death do us part” is applied here. This Q-Bee was free to choose her own life, and she chose to be on the wife assembly line.
Tack Angel: You could’ve put that nicer.
Lucca-5: That was the nice version.
Tack Angel: …Great. I’m NOT a monster.
Lucca-5: I never said you were.
Tack Angel: That’s right.
Q-Bee: I love Tack! I understand what it’s like to be in a hive. A bunch of drones serving the Queen. It’s perfect harmony. In this case, I am but a drone myself, serving my King.
Tack Angel: And I’m the one doling out the honey! Haha…I’m sorry that’s very lewd isn’t it? I just feel like this is that kind of show am I right?
Audience: Awo! Awo! Awo! Awo!
Tack Angel: Yeah! Awo! That thing!
Baron Von Bee: CURSES! You don’t understand Q-Bee! You should not be mixing with another race!
Audience: BOOOOO!
Baron Von Bee: Oh what, you think I’m being racist?! We’re physically incompatible! Ugh! This is pointless! I thought my drones were mindless, but you people only care about slander, sleaze, and [Local Sports Team].
Audience: YAAAAAY!
Baron Von Bee: This war will not end until one of us is dead, Tack Angel! MARK MY WORDS!
Tack Angel: Can we at least pause it? Some really bad stuff is happening and- oh he’s gone.
Jimmy Swift: Well Star Prince, it looks like you have proven yourself to the Baron, this wife in particular…out of SO many…and the people.
Tack Angel: Well I-
Jimmy Swift: So…you shouldn’t have ANY PROBLEMS diffusing the situation with our next guest!
Tack Angel: HUH?!
The screen graphics changed from “Baron Von Bee Tells ALL” to “So I married my blood related cousin who is also a CAT!”. Tack looked down to see it.
Tack Angel: What?! Wait, how can I see that?! Felicia is coming out!?
Jimmy Swift: Indeed, but she’s NOT alone!
Felicia Angel came out…holding what appeared to be a kitten with squinty eyes and a large head. Tack fainted and fell back out of his chair.
Audience: Awo! Awo! Awo! Awo! Awo!

Blood 4 Blood Locker Room
Trevor Mach kicked the door into the locker room, as he limped his way over to the bench.
Subculture: You uh…you doing alright there Trevor?
Trevor Mach: I have shards of glass in my back, would you mind pulling them out?
Subculture: …Can I ask what happened?
Trevor Mach: I’d rather you didn’t.
Subculture: …Yeah alright.
Trevor Mach: Thanks. It’s funny, a few years back I would have expected you to add a knife or two.
Subculture: I’ve never been THAT bad. Wrestling has a way of getting the adrenaline pumping, but if I ever screamed out “I’LL KILL YOU!” what I MEANT was “I’M GONNA DO SOME SERIOUS BODILY HARM TO GET YOU TO STAY DOWN FOR THREE, AND THEN I’M PROBABLY JUST GONNA CELEBRATE AND WALK AWAY!”
Trevor Mach: …Naturally. You’re a good guy Subbie, I’m honored to call you a friend and blood brother.
Subculture: You’re still delirious from the blood loss.
Trevor Mach: Probably….I’m sure that’s it.
Reefside Casino Hotel - VIP Room
Extra security was in the room, reinforcing it and adding more champagne. Zyro Kurogane and Seto Kaiba were sitting beside each other, as Arliss Michaels told off the security for the breach last week.
Arliss Michaels: I want to make sure that Rama Raju can NOT get in here this time ya hear me? My client wants peace and quiet. He wants to watch the show! If you let him through, you will NOT get paid. Do you hear me!? See Mr. Kaiba, I’ve got you covered. Whatever you need, you’ve got. It’s a new age, and young blood rule this sport. I know that all too well. I’m gonna take care of you, and I’m gonna make sure EBW is selling so many of your shirts, that-
Seto Kaiba: No.
Arliss Michaels: No?
Seto Kaiba: That shirt…it has the Blue Eyes White Dragon on it. That card…is mine. I’m the only one in the world that still has one, and I don’t want any of these peasants to have the image of my beloved card adorning them.
Arliss Michaels: What about the one that says “Screw the Rules! I have money!”
Seto Kaiba: Of course.
Arliss Michaels: Right! I’m on it sir!
Zyro Kurogane: You got quite the system you’re setting up.
Seto Kaiba: Consider it a hostile takeover.
Zyro Kurogane: Hmm.
Seto Kaiba: What?
Zyro Kurogane: We will have an impasse in the near future I believe. Two different forces, wishing to take over EBW.
Seto Kaiba: …A merger might be in order.
Zyro Kurogane: I don’t think so. We both want to control the future of EBW and take it in different directions. Now that I’m no longer under w00t’s thumb, I have my own ideas for what EBW should be. A wild west, anything goes, let it rip kind of place, with Samurai Ifrit standing tall.
Seto Kaiba: Hmm. I see. I prefer order. I prefer the finer things in their places. I might employ dogs like Razorblade to do my bidding, but the end result will be order, with Seto Kaiba in firm control.
Zyro Kurogane: Like I said…impasse.
Seto Kaiba: …Impasse.
The two clinked their champagne glasses together, before Zyro walked out of the room. Seto Kaiba stood up and looked out the window. As the crowd began to gather for the show, the World Champion was already in the ring, and he had been staring at Seto Kaiba for quite some time.
"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"
EBW: Xcite
Reefside Beach, Reefside
ENN
Tommy Dukes: Welcome back to Reefside people! Yes, this is sun block on my face, cause I get sun burned….even by the moon. I have VERY sensitive skin!
Nerma: He really does. We’re glad to be here in Reefside! The champ was JUST out here staring down Seto Kaiba before the show, and it’s weird, cause normally it’s the challenger hunting down the champ, but here it feels reversed. Loving Reefside though, cause it’s been HOT, and it’s only going to get HOTTER with all of this in ring action? Was that a good sell? I hope so, I haven't been sleeping well.
Tommy Dukes: Is it my snoring?
Nerma: No, that’s white noise to me. It actually helps. I’ve been having these nightmares. I’m in an asylum and I look into a window, and I see me in a padded room, in straitjacket and covered in blood. I’m screaming in the room, shouting “Let me out! I’m your memories! He can’t keep getting away with it! TA-” and then I wake up. Every time! It’s weird. You’re not here to hear about that though. You want to hear about the exciting wrestling action to come, but after what happened on XP, it’s actually surprising we’re here. President Swift is here with us in regards to that.
Swift: It’s actually very easy to fix a situation like this. See, people expect some violence when wrestling comes to town. They really should by now. My new top man behind the scenes was able to iron out the attack in the casino. He’s the best at this sort of thing. In fact, we had some outside forces attempting to keep us from running Reefside to begin with, but he “handled” it for us.
Tommy Dukes: Oh?
Reefside Warehouse
Earlier that day…
Several armed and well dressed men surrounded a table, as two mafioso types spoke to each other.
Gino Panini: It’s very simple Don Cataloni, we don’t let EBW run in this city no more. They made a mess of the casino, and I can’t kick up my piece of the pie if they’re in there causing trouble.
Don Cataloni: I understand the situation, but I believe you really mean to align with Rex in Summers.
Gino Panini: So? Would that be so wrong? He keeps them out of Summers. Why shouldn’t we? We strong arm the locals, and make them see things our way. What do you say?
Don Cataloni: …I say-
A well dressed executive with white hair smashed through the skylight and superhero landed in the center of the table. As he stood up, the people surrounded him panicked.
Don Cataloni: HOWARD LINCOLN!?
Howard Lincoln: I say, it’s time to put an end to this *bleep*ing farce right now!
Howard Lincoln, did a spin kick that knocked several of the armed men to the ground as he smashed Gino Panini in the face with his briefcase.
Gino Panini: You’re gonna pay for that Howard Lincoln!
Howard Lincoln: Just ask Atari or the KGB how little I care about threats kid!
Gino Panini: I bet you 100 bucks you can’t land another punch!
Howard shrugged and punched the man getting up beside him.
Howard Lincoln: Easy money! Pay up!
Gino Panini: THAT’S NOT WHAT I- URG!
Howard Lincoln: This form Don Cataloni, is a cease and desist order. Do NOT try to mess with EBW now or ever. If you do, you’ll be in trouble.
Gino Panini: Oh yeah? How bad could it be?
A rope descended from the ceiling, and Howard Lincoln grabbed onto it.
Howard Lincoln: Next time, you’d be dealing with the lawyers. *wink*
Everyone groaned at the word lawyers, as Howard descended back up into the sky.
-
Swift: He handled the problem. I wouldn’t worry about it.
Tommy Dukes: Sweet.
Nerma: What we DO have to worry about is the upcoming match. Gianna Rambaldi is back, and the princess is NOT so sweet and innocent. She vetted EBW, she went on an excursion, and now she’s back wanting to make a statement. Let’s see how she fair in this four way contest!
1. Women’s 4-Way: Gianna Rambaldi vs. Cherry Akintola vs. Mitra Lennox vs. Rei Hino
-Strong opening contest between four hungry competitors, as Gianna Rambaldi, the glamorous and deadly Euroland Princess showed what she was made of against Cherry, Mitra, and Rei. They all targeted her at the start, but the desire to win took over, and in those moments, the princess struck. She tossed Cherry and Mitra out of the ring as they grappled, and trapped Rei Hino in a Pumphandle scoop Brainbuster for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Gianna Rambaldi via Pumphandle scoop Brainbuster on Rei Hino -> Pin
Gianna Rambaldi: There. You see that? That is what I’m capable of. In the midst of chaos, I found my opening, and I took it. I want my opening in EBW. I want my ascent, and I don’t feel like being an ambassador about it. I’m not here to make friends. It doesn’t matter if you’re hick from the sticks, a sadomasochist from Hell, or a drug addled psychopath in chains. Lainey Strong, you accepted my challenge for the Bushido Den. Don’t underestimate what I can do, or your career will end inside of that den. That’s the only advice I’m giving you. Take it or leave it.
Backstage
Jammer and Vape were walking backstage, as Vape was talking and Jammer was heavily bandaged as he held his Gold Medal for the the No Rules battle at The World Games, formerly called something else before TK STOLE IT!
Vape: So I said to her, “I heard the ladies like bad boys. Lucky for her, I’m bad at everything” and she blew me off…and not in that way…she just sort of walked away. Didn’t even pepper spray me. Am I losing my touch? Slam Jam? You listening? Do I need to tell you again?
Jammer: No need to repeat yourself Vape. I ignored you just fine the first time.
Vape: You OK?
Jammer: Learned a little something about myself this weekend my round friend. A bit of the ultra violence…it ain’t so bad. I actually won.
Vape: I saw that! You won, Benji and Jaden won, and Bashin Dan won the main event of the second night. Gold medals all around. I prefer silver myself cause-
Jammer: Why weren’t you competing this weekend?
Vape: I was there.
Jammer: The women’s bathroom?
Vape: …
Jammer: Dude…come on.
Vape: I don’t know what to do to meet a lady!
Jammer: Not THAT!
Vape: …Right.
Jammer: Dude, next time just go for it. Shoot for the moon.
Vape: Yeah?
Jammer: That way, if you miss, you’re a disappointment on a much larger scale.
Vape: …Oh.
Jammer: Oh yeah…Jammer’s on fire.
Razorblade: Not yet you’re not, but I could arrange it!
Jammer: Eh? Razor? Hey look, it’s that guy I beat at The World Games! I smashed you with a chair. I’m shocked you’re still standing.
Razorblade: I can take a lot more than that. That is why I’m the VBW Champion. Bashin Dan figured that out. You can’t keep a good dog down, and I want another piece of you, you no talent b-balling wannabe *bleep*!
Jammer: No talent? I got enough talent to beat you at musical chairs I bet. You want another piece then you’ve got it. On XP, we’ll have a match, and you can take on the new Hardcore King IF you put the VBW Championship on the line.
Razorblade: You want it? You got it! This is as close as you’ll get to MY championship! MY championship! MINE!
Jammer: The ball is in your court right now, but- no that’s not going to work, I was never good at stealing the ball. I’m just going to batter you and claim a title to go with my shiny gold medal baby!
2. Women’s Singles: Alison Chains vs. Hilda Iceheart
-An odd match, as Hilda kept trying to out wrestle Alison, while trying to keep her attention in the ring at the same time. Television Champion Darkness Aoi tried to warn Hilda that it could all be an act, but she was too late, as Chains struck, and trapped Hilda in a Rear Naked Choke. Hilda tried to fight it, but eventually blacked out. Match ends via Referee Stoppage.
Winner: Alison Chains via Rear Naked Choke -> Referee Stoppage
Swift Office
Swift’s office was in disarray, as he stood with Red Shirt Security facing off with Hyde Tide and Lola Tide.
Swift: Well…I didn’t expect to find two pirates trashing my office when I came in here, but at this point why WOULDN’T I expect that weird *bleep* *bleep*! I guess the question is WHY…you would trash my office.
Lola Tide: NONE OF YOU FRIGGIN’ BUSINESS!
Hyde Tide: Whoa! Lola! Rude!
Lola Tide: Do I come to your work and slap the parrot off your shoulder?!
Hyde Tide: I DON’T-WHY WOULD YOU SLAP A PARROT?!
Lola Tide: Then don’t tell me how to pirate!
Hyde Tide: YOU ASKED FOR MY FEEDBACK!
Lola Tide: That was yesterday!
Hyde Tide: So sorry Lola! Sorry, everyone! Y’know, we don’t normally fight like this. It’s been a very challenging time for us. Uh…can we have a job?
Swift: …Red Shirts…close the door.
Lola Tide: Uhoh.
3.6-Man Tag: Trevor Mach/Subculture/Picky Minch vs. Kishin Kid/The Assessor/The Witness
-A classic rasslin’ brawl, as these two teams were primed to explode with back and forth action in and out of the ring. The Blood 4 Blood shooters were more than willing to match the Stygian Inquisition in the violence factor. Naturally, in the middle of this blood feud, things got out of hand, as The Assessor stabbed his pen into Subbie’s forehead from the outside, leading to a DQ, as The Inquisition tried to batter B4B even bloodier. The Black Shirts came out to try and control the situation, but were absolutely annihilated, while the Red Shirts finally managed to control the situation, even as Trevor, Subbie, and Picky were trying to jump over them to get to their opponents.
Winners: Trevor Mach/Subculture/Picky Minch via DQ
Tommy Dukes: That situation is just getting worse and worse! I-
The Preacher: Now now, be cool my babies. It’s all good. We’re fine here. Just relax and take in the sweeter side of suffering. Trevor Mach, you’ve put your faith on your sleeve recently, and while you might not see it as a challenge to us, we certainly do. We’re here to prepare people for what’s to come. A consumption of sweet suffering, where we’ll suffer together forever in the void. Your beliefs…they will no longer matter. Put your faith to the test against us. Let’s see where it gets you. Peace.
4. Singles: Hawk vs. Viper
-The next match saw Gladiators EXPLODE, as Hawk took on Viper in singles action. The Glads were there to run defense for Hawk, and keep Kaiba Corp. away, but Hawk’s refusal to take advantage of Viper faking an injury lead to his downfall, as Viper was more than willing to lie, cheat, and steal for the win. He blasted Hawk with the Cobra Clutch Suplex and pinned him for the win.
Winner: Viper via Cobra Clutch Suplex -> Pin
Backstage
Good News Gary: Good News Everyone! After an explosive XP, Rama Raju has been keeping it cool as a cucumber this time around, but he has accepted a challenge from Seto Kaiba I believe? Is that right?
Rama Raju: …The Viper will lose his venom, and he will be defanged. Then, I will finally reach one of my goals, and that is to get my hands around Seto Kaiba’s throat.
Good News Gary: We are all wondering what’s the story between you and Kaiba? At first, you had a beef with a certain MCW Executive, but now you’ve moved onto Kaiba, but you’re keeping your reasons close to the vest.
Rama Raju: …and for now…that is where they will remain. Excuse me.
Good News Gary: …Can’t get a read on that guy…except for the smoldering intensity and amazing song and dance skills.
Blood 4 Blood Locker Room
Tack Angel was stretching out, as he heard people outside of the room. He went out to see Geoff Garrett signing autographs and selling foam guitars.
Fan: Wow! Only ten cents for a foam guitar? You’re drawing so many dimes right now! So many dimes! Look at ALL THESE DIMES!
Geoff Garrett: All proceeds go to the Church. Ain’t God great? Right Tack Slapple?
Tack Angel: …I don’t like that name…but yeah….he’s Great.
Geoff Garrett: Come on Slap Angel, let’s strut our way on out there, and show Samurai Ifrit the power of Planet Garrett!
Tack Angel: …Whatever that is…I don’t like it.
Geoff Garret: We’ll teach them not to call you a dork!
Tack Angel: …Ok, I’m motivated again.
5. Tag: Tack Angel/Geoff Garrett vs. Zyro Kurogane/Johnny Starbound
-Main event time, as Tack Angel seemed to not want to be out with Geoff Garrett as his guitar shot out fireworks, but we all know that can’t be right. More than likely, he just wanted his favorite wrestler to bask in the spotlight, as the two were set to do battle against Samurai Ifrit. A great match with hot tags and big action, but Tack seemed to lose it when Double G did the Jackie Fargo strut, probably because he’s a big fan of it. Starbound blasted Tack Angel with the guitar while Zyro K hit the Straight Jacket Hagen on Garrett. He tagged in Starbound, who hit the 450 Splash on Double G for the 1-2-3.
Winners: Zyro Kurogane/Johnny Starbound[o] via 450 Splash on Geoff Garrett -> Pin
After the match Geoff rolled out of the ring, and Tack seemed to accidentally move instead of catching him. That had to be it. He finally seemed to reluctantly help him up, but we know that can’t be the case. No reluctance in Tack’s fandom of Geoff Garrett. As the duo limped up the ramp, Johnny Starbound stopped them as he held up a bag.
Johnny Starbound: Whoa whoa whoa! DORK Angel, where do you think YOU’RE going? This ain’t over. It’s one thing to soar above “Planet Garrett”, but I’ve yet to bring the 450 down on you for the pin fall.
Tack Angel: You’re going to find out what happens to bullies at Bushido Starbound. It’s just that simple. One on one, and if you’ve got the GUTS, maybe you’ll put up that Television Championship as well.
Johnny Starbound: You think I’m an idiot? I don’t think so! However, if it’s a title you want. I got just the thing. Don’t ask me how I got this *cough* Tracy *cough* but it might entice you to have it back, for you see, not only am I the Television Champion, and World Team Champion, but I’m also-
Johnny Starbound pulled out a familiar red title belt.
Johnny Starbound: The NEW EBW MARS CHAMPIOOOOOON!
Tack Angel: HEY! NO! HEY! NO! HEY! NO! HEY! THAT’S MY BELT!
Johnny Starbound: You want it back? Let’s make this interesting. Zyro-K is gonna be busy with Bashin Dan, but, I’m sure I can find certain World Tag Team Champions to back me up against you two, and a third member. 6-Man Tag for XP, and the winner gets the Mars Championship. What do you say?
Tack Angle: GIVE ME BACK MY TITLE! THAT’S LITERALLY MY PROPERTY!
Johnny Starbound: I’ll take that as a yes.
Geoff Garrett: And don’t worry Slapbound, because I’ve already got a third in mind. No, it ain’t a member of Blood 4 Blood, but from a certain crew.
Tack Angel: Oh no.
Geoff Garrett: That wrecks-
Tack Angel: No no no.
Geoff Garrett: THE WEEKENDS!
Tack Angel: NOOOOO!
Magnum PT came out dancing to the ring and flipping his mullet around. Some of the mullet sweat got into Tack’s face and he panicked, falling off the ramp and into the crowd as everyone sang and danced to PT’s theme as the show came to a close….from here? No, from there. Right over there. Just kidding Tali.

Ninten: Well…we know what happened to Miss Xtra. I’d really love to hear from Mav Valentine regarding his new wife’s decision to jump to MCW, but the man is hard at work in rehab. He’s a work horse. I’ve never seen someone so dead set on reforging his body into a wrestling weapon. We can only hope to see him make a full comeback…health permitting. Well, I hope you love beach themed EBW, cause we’re STAYING FOR THE THREE-PEAT! See…we’re going to Edo for Bushido…and like…the airport is right over there. I know you can’t see what I’m pointing at, but it’s the window behind Steve, and the airport is right over there. It’s just easy to stick around, especially thanks to a certain new EBW executive, that helped “clear the path” as it were. His exact words were, “handled the light work” to Swift, and then he said something derogatory about Atari. Howard Lincoln is his name, and he is already in Edo, having strong ties to the country through his former job with the big N. NO, not THAT N. Stop looking at me like that Steve. You know what I meant! Heck, you wrote it! Steve did it. I would never imply to use the derogatory term Native like that. Yikes. Well, we have a STACKED XP to lead us into Bushido, starting with Razorblade putting the VBW Championship on the line against Jammer. Zyro Kurogane will battle Benjamin ahead of his showdown with Bashin Dan. Lainey Strong will take on Cherry Akintola before her match with Gianna Rambaldi in the Bushido Den. Women’s World Champion Wendy Mustang will be in Lainey’s corner, both here and at Bushido. EBW World Champion Rama Raju will lock up with Seto Kaiba’s new hired gun Viper, and in the main event, a 6-Man Tag, with Tack Angel, Geoff Garrett, and Magnum PT joining forces to take on Samurai Ifrit. The kicker here is that Tack’s prized and thought lost EBW Mars Championship will be on the line. The rumors were that the belt was turned into a different belt for MCW, BUT the original belt that someone looks ANCIENT is in Starbound’s possession now, and whoever gets the pin, gets the belt.

Rama Raju stood on the beach as the waves crashed around him. He held onto a necklace around his neck and closed his eyes, suddenly getting surprised by a hand slapping him on the back.
Rama Raju: Oof!
Hawk: Hey hey! Sorry about that man! The Hawkster didn’t think anyone could catch you off guard! Listen pal, I want to warn you about Viper. He’s literally a snake. I don’t mean he’s a cold blood reptile with scales, but he’s traitorous. He doesn’t have the will of a Gladiator, but you do!
Rama Raju: You think so?
Sabre: Man, we know so. You came in here and claimed the yard. You got respect for the Eagleland Gladiators.
Tower: You may not “tower” over the competition like I do, but you get the job done.
Turbo: ….*nod*
Laser: You can take that as a compliment.
Rama Raju: Then indeed I will.
Hawk: The Hawkster just needs to know one thing.
Rama Raju: What’s that?
Hawk: How do you do that dance you did a while back. Nattu was it? How do you DO all of that!?
Rama Raju: Heh.

Ninten: After XP, we’re getting on that plane for Edo, because it’s already tomorrow there, so we’re already behind! LoveBoom! will battle Dan Club in the opener, while Darkness Aoi will take on Alison Chains, the one she blames for ruining the women’s division. Mike and Son will take on Blood 4 Blood for the EBW World Tag Team Championships. Then, we’ll see a battle of Shonen Protagonists, as Bashin Dan clashes with Zyro Kurogane. Put in the mouth guards, because Bushido Rules come back with Trevor Mach taking on Kishin Kid. Tack Angel will face off with Johnny Starbound in non-title action, while Gianna Rambaldi faces Lainey Strong in the Bushido Den. The main event will see Rama Raju put the EBW World Championship on the line against Seto Kaiba. A loaded show for Edo. This is the show for the fans of the more MMA focused product. The mission of the Bushido Mission as it were, that guys like Mach and Picky Minch have been pushing for ever since. It’s all going down on ENN+!

Reefside Casino Hotel
Trevor Mach walked down the hallway of the hotel with Truth on his shoulders and Justice walking hand in hand beside him. He knocked on the door of a room.
Trevor Mach: Hey! Uncle Tack! The kiddies are here to see yo-
Tack opened the door before realizing who was there, allowing Trevor to see Makoto, Nani, Yog’tara, and Patty Wagon arguing behind him. His calm look quickly turned to panic, as he tried to slam the door shut, but Trevor put his foot in the doorway.
Trevor Mach: OW! You REALLY wanted to shut the door. I WONDER WHY!
Tack Angel: Trevor, it’s not like-
Trevor Mach: ANOTHER ONE?!
Tack Angel: I CAN EXPLAIN!
Minutes later…Tack was still trying to calm Trevor down…but after that he finally explained the situation.
Tack Angel: And that’s what happened.
Trevor Mach: What?
Tack Angel: Huh?
Trevor Mach: You didn’t explain anything. You just said “And that’s what happened”.
Tack Angel: Is that…not good enough?
Trevor Mach: No Tack, no it’s not.
Tack Angel: Oh my bad.
Tack actually explained this time.
Trevor Mach: So she’s supposed to be with Tack O’Dark huh? Why you still here then Space Cop?
Patty Wagon: I’m OFFICER Patricia Wagon! The Galaxy Police worked out a deal with the King of Dark, but I uh…I…I got lost. Look I’m not bad at puzzles…but my intuition could use some work. Code Name: Azrael, you have to understand that I have fallen for THIS Tack Angel and-
Trevor Mach: You don’t want to share with the harem.
Patty Wagon: YES! You got it!
Tack Angel: Gosh, is it really THAT bad?
Yog’tara: YES! YES! IT ABSOLUTELY IS!
Nani: You are worthy of love, but we do not wish to share.
Makoto Angel: I guess I get where they are coming from. It’s a real love where they love you so much they just want you all to themselves. HOWEVER HE’S MINE! Do you SEE this wedding ring? HEY, GIVE IT BACK NANI!
Nani: I refuse.
Tack Angel: *sigh* Want to go out on the balcony.
Trevor Mach: Absolutely.
Tack Angel: Look, I was more than happy to spend the rest of my life in peace with Makoto, but then THIS happened.
Trevor Mach: I understand.
Tack Angel: You do?
Trevor Mach: No, but you’re my friend, so I tolerate.
Tack Angel: Wow, that’s…mature of you. You’re really changing.
Trevor Mach: So I’m told. So that baby…Honoka…is that really-
Tack Angel: Mine? Yeah. I have to admit, the time I had…everything…is a haze to me. It wasn’t really me. I think I remember enough to have a handle on it, otherwise everything going on in there would have killed me by now. I mean, I have trouble just holding hands ya know?
Justice reached over and grabbed Tack’s hand.
Justice Mach: It’s easy Uncle Tack. You just do this.
Tack Angel: Heh. Thanks Justice. Those kids are glued to you huh?
Trevor Mach: I love it. Wouldn’t have it any other way. You have a second chance to get to know Honoka. Doesn’t matter how she got here in that way, cause it’s a blessing. Cherish the family Tack.
Tack Angel: You’re carrying yours around with you.
Trevor Mach: Some of them. I miss my animals whenever I’m not home to be honest.
Tack Angel: Really? You still spend a lot of time with them.
Trevor Mach: Don't take the moments lightly. You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Tack Angel: Right. I’m more used to you picking fights than giving out good advice.
Trevor Mach: See, that’s where people don’t understand me. They think I got out of my way to work them up, but it’s not out of my way at all!
Tack Angel: …Right. *sigh* I wish Yog’tara would have told me what’s going on with Honoka before she became human. She actually DID know, but she forgot!
Trevor Mach: Yeah…I REALLY didn’t think that prank through. Oh well, we’ll figure it out. You know the old saying, “When one door closes, another opens”.
Tack Angel: Do you really believe that?
Trevor Mach: Totally. In fact, I think my house is haunted.
Tack Angel: …..
Trevor Mach: We need to get serious here. Something big is going down. We’ve even got the Stygian bozos talking about it flagrantly on television. No more mind wipes from Ana, so unless we want people to lose it, we need to shut it down. I’m going to give them the war they want, and humble that little punk Kishin Kid.
Tack Angel: Not so little anymore, and quite willing to get burned just to strike out at both of us. You think that “thing” is really coming back.
Trevor Mach: I don’t want to talk about it around the kids, but yeah, I think so. I thought Giygas might have carried the last pieces of the thing when he and I escaped the void, and then I smashed him with the bat and shattered it in 1992. I never figured out WHY we were in 1992 by the way. Coincidence? Who knows. Oh, I found w00t by the way.
Tack Angel: Oh yeah?
Trevor Mach: Or should I say Azazel.
Tack Angel: Oh no.
Trevor Mach: Yeah.
Tack Angel: I wonder. *covers Justice’s ears* Could this truly be the end of days?
Trevor Mach: If it is, I intend to follow God until there is no more Hell to pay.
Tack Angel: *sigh* I wonder how my counterpart is doing. I try to close my eyes and “feel” what’s happening, but right now it just…it…
Trevor Mach: What?
Tack Angel: It makes me sneeze.
Trevor Mach: Huh.
Earth-5 - Crystal Heaven
Tack Angel uncontrollably sneezed as he carried a baby cat in the baby carrier strapped to his chest. As he tried not to rub his eyes, he wanted into the “war room” which had been used to coordinate the battle with Baron Von Bee, but was now being used as the hub for the push against “V”.
Tack Angel: ACHOO! Please tell me you have something?
Jeff Andonuts: Regarding?
Tack Angel: What do you mean?
Jeff Andonuts: If you need allergy pills, I’ve got you covered. I have an inhaler, and epi pen, and-
Tack Angel: I meant in regards to “V”?
Jeff Andonuts: OH! Well, I managed to locate Geno and the Apple of Enlightenment on Earth-1! Turns out they were meant to seek out Dan, but I have yet to ask him what THAT was about.
Tack Angel: Maybe it’s time to bring him into the fold? Also- what? What are you looking at?
Jeff Andonuts: Your uh….your cat? What is-
Tack Angel: Look, this is my son somehow! His name is Davenport!
Jeff Andonuts: …Davenport?
Tack Angel: Yes, Davenport Angel, is that a problem?
Jeff Andonuts: NO! No problem at all! His eyes are…a little off.
Tack Angel: …I don’t want to get into it alright! I’m an insatiable love machine OK! I CAN’T BE STOPPED! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HE-ACHOO! Sorry…just…maybe we need to also…wake up this Apple of Enlightenment?
Jeff Andonuts: I have no idea. Last time I saw him, is how I ended up with my prosthetic leg.
Tack Angel: You have a fake leg?
Jeff Andonuts: You knew that.
Tack Angel: I can’t even keep track of how many wives I have Jeff. You’re going to have to remind me of a few things. Also, my brain is sort of SPLIT BETWEEN TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLANETS!
Jeff Andonuts: That reminds me, why aren’t we bringing the other..uh…you into the fold as well?
Tack Angel: I don’t…want to see that guy…if I’m being honest.
Jeff Andonuts: Why not?
Tack Angel: It’s just too weird. Let him live his life. I’m sure he’s living a simple life with one wife.

*After MAX went off the air, the victorious Hope Mach continued to stand in the ring along with the MCW Tag Team Champions, Dem Girlz. The MCW World Champion Tracy continued to watch from the ramp with a look of bitter contempt on her face. Hope Mach then grabbed the mic and told Tracy that she just made her statement tonight. In fact, the entire wrestling world saw it too. LOUD AND CLEAR! And every week the MCW fans are gonna make you sure you NEVER forget it either. The entire crowd now began to chant "YOU TAPPED OUT! YOU TAPPED OUT!" at Tracy on the ramp in loud unison. At first Tracy could keep herself composed and withstand it. But more she did, the louder the chants got. And eventually, she just could not take anymore and it completely broke her. Tracy then began to cry and scream out loud on the ramp, as Hope Mach stood in the ring, with sly smile on her face.*
*AJ Munk and Brooke Carter were then shown walking towards the BattleZone exit hand in hand. ABC now seems to be on the same page once again. Miss MAX now runs up to both ladies and asks them if ABC was, in fact, back together.*
*AJ Munk now tells Miss MAX that they are. ABC is back and better than ever. Miss MAX then asked about both of them being in the MCW Television Tournament Quarterfinal Triple Threat and how that effects their future? AJ Munk said they will cross that bridge when it comes. Together, hand in hand, in fact. Brooke Carter then chimed in that the results will shock a few people, including Two Sweet. "Two Sweet? More like TOO SHIT!" "OH! SNAP!" Both ladies now high five each other as Miss MAX just looks on in embarrassment. But that humor turns sour as the MCW General Manager, Venus, now walks up to both ladies.....*
*Venus then told both ladies she overheard their "funny" jokes about Two Sweet and it gave her an idea. Next week on MAX, it's gonna be ABC taking on Two Sweet in a Tornado Tag Match. So it looks like joke is on you two. Venus then left as ABC just stood there in stunned silence.*
*Backstage, Kayla Sparkz was alone and thinking to herself in silence, when Kei Akiyama walks up to her....*
*Kei Akiyama now asks about what happened in the ring tonight? Kayla Sparkz just continues keep her back to Kei and ignore her in silence. Kei Akiyama then asks if it has anything to do with Kayla being pinned by Kei tonight? Kayla Sparkz now turns around, contemplates speaking to Kei, but turns back around instead. Kei then just flat out says that this is pro wrestling and shit happens in the ring. But at the end of the day, we are still friends outside of it. Kayla Sparkz turns back around and shrugs her shoulders to Kei. Kei then asks if this was about what Tiger Storm said to her? Kayla Sparkz finally just shakes her head and shoves her way passed Kei Akiyama in anger. Kei then stands for a moment in disbelief, before leaving to try and talk to Kayla once more. Once both ladies are gone, the camera pan to the side and reveal....*
*Tiger Storm standing in the shadows and smiling at her dirty work. Tiger Storm now says to herself "It would appear the seeds have been sown and are already taking root. Excellent."
The cameras then faded to a final close from there.*

Earth 5 - Gerudo Desert - Gerudo Village
Chieftess Riju was in her throne room getting training from her grandmother Queen Urbosa Angel, as time has gone by and Riju has gotten old enough for more thorough work. Glistening in sweat the two are interrupted by a Gerudo Messenger, informing the royalty of a new visitor.
Riju: Oh great, another one that we have to send to Grandfather's Kingdom.
Urbosa Angel: Easy child, your grandfather is a caretaker of lost souls. He's doing what's best for our kingdoms and it's people.
Riju: If it's not a female, yes. Otherwise he's trying to "do" them. Grandfather's libido is a liability.
Urbosa Angel: Now remind me Chieftess, who was it that didn't take audience with that one fellow? The one that now is enacting war on the planet?
Riju: How was I supposed to kn-... Fine. Send them in!
The guardswomen started to bring in the new person to the throne room in front of Riju & Urbosa.
Urbosa Angel: Though it is odd we get the weirder ones compared to my sister-wives.
The guardswomen kneel the visitor and remove their blinding hood, revealing a woman with short black hair and in a red & blue bodysuit.
???: Where am I?
Riju: You are in the desert of the Hylian lands, in a village populated and ruled by women. I am it's chieftess, and who are you?
Sasha Calle: My name is Sasha Calle, I was doing a photo shoot when... When... Ah!
Sasha grabbed on her head in pain, her pupils dilated, and moaned with a headache.
Urbosa Angel: Are you ok?
Sasha Calle: I... I hit my head and blacked out. When I woke, I was at the front of your village. Wait... Hylian? Where on Earth is that?
Riju: Relax, this happens a lot. You very likely got caught up in a mixture of events that transported you to our planet.
Sasha Calle: This isn't Earth?
Riju: Oh it is, just not the one you know.
Sasha Calle: What do you mean by that...
Urbosa Angel: What did you do for a living Ms. Calle?
Sasha Calle: I'm an actress for an upcoming movie. I was doing a photo shoot for ENN's promotion but then! Oh! A light fixture fell and hit me!
Riju: Another lost soul.
Sasha Calle: You think I died?!
Sasha tried to stand up but slipped on the cloak she wore earlier and banged her face on the floor.
Riju: Almost died, well given time that may come to pass anyway.
Urbosa Angel: Child!
Riju waved off her grandmother as the guardswomen helped Sasha up.
Riju: Was wearing your outfit there part of your job?
Sasha Calle (while rubbing her forehead): Yes, I was acting as a character named Supergirl, Kara Zor-El from the planet Krypton.
A rock from the stone throne room suddenly fell from the sky and bonked Sasha on the head again. Urbosa reached out a bit to late to warn as Riju chuckled.
Sasha Calle: I was Supergirl, Kara Zor-El from the planet Krypton.
Sasha lifted her body up after the rock fell but in doing so tripped on the cloak again.
Sasha Calle: Super...girl, Kara Zor-El from the planet Kryp...ton.
The guardswomen finally moved the cloak out of the way but in doing so, accidentally bumped their hips into Sasha because of their large frames. Sasha fell over again and slammed her head on some steps.
Sasha Calle: I'm... I'm Supergirl, Kara...Zor-El from the planet Kryptooooonnnn...
Sasha rubbed her face on the steps she fell on and started to snore.
Urbosa Angel: Get her up and keep her awake. She might have a concussion.
Riju: Multiple concussions at this point. Send her away to grandmother Amy and grandfather! He'll know what to do with her.
Urbosa Angel: We really shouldn't move her much.
Riju: She needs more professional help than what we or Hyrule have. If we were to send her to Hyrule, she'll be under that psychopath Ruby's domain.
Urbosa Angel: ... good point.
Riju: Besides, she'll be in a protected vehicle. What's the worst that could happen?
In traveling via the flying sleighs provided by Santanah Frost-Angel, Sasha Calle unfortunately kept bumping her head on the seating in front of her. Eventually having to be held still by a Gerudo guardswoman. Upon landing in Crystal Heaven, Sasha was escorted to M. Havoc of immigration, delirious she gave answers but were not corrected by the Gerudo.
Earth 5 - Crystal Heaven - Food Court
The Crystal Heaven citizens were enjoying their time of the day, laughing and enjoying the sun as the Stardica Festivities were laid about. A time of reprieve during World War Bee. The Crystal King, the King of Dark, Tack Angel though was sobbing over a chicken and rice bowl while being guarded by Sailor Uranus and Neptune.
Tack Angel: I just can't believe the Galactic Federation took them.
Sailor Uranus: Her highness Samus requested them for help. There was an unexpected threat in the Asteroid Belt. She needed all the pilots she could get.
Tack Angel: But did she need 59 of them?! Now who will comfort me at all hours of the day! There's so many of my wives on official business, I feel like I'm losing all of them!
Tack grabbed Sailor Neptune by the waist and sobbed in her bosom. Sailor Neptune embraced him and patted his head.
Sailor Neptune: There there my little King, cry as much as you need.
Tack additionally grabbed Neptune and hugged her too while grabbing her ass. Neptune and Uranus shrugged at each other as they indulged their indulgent King.
???: Fsheeeewwwwwww!!!
Tack wiped his eyes with Neptune's boob as he turned to see what the strange noise was.
???: Fsheeeewwwwwwweeeeewwwwuuuuuuu!!!
Two Gerudo guardswomen were escorting their "delivery" towards the Crystal Tower. The "package" was Sasha Calle with her arms out pretending to fly. Tack was caught off guard by the absurdity but his keen eye noticed the tomboy haircut and skin tight suit revealing her modest curves. Tack's fingers reflexively started moving in a grabbing motion.
Tack Angel: Ooh, potential...
The Gerudo noticed Tack and his bodyguards and made their way over with their escort.
Sasha Calle: Byoooowwwnnn!!!
Gerudo guardswoman: Your highness, we come bearing a new arrival from your granddaughter Chieftess Riju.
Tack is taken aback by where she came from. Tepid because of Riju's lack of love for him.
Tack Angel: Ah I see, what's your name?
Sasha Calle: I'm Supergirl! I come from the planet Krypton! Dah dah dah!!! Whoooosh!
Tack leaned over to the guardswomen as Sasha posed imitating a cape flowing behind her.
Tack Angel: Whats wrong with her?
Gerudo guardswoman: Concussions, many of them. She's a bit of a klutz. Real name is Sasha Calle.
Tack's eyes shined over as he suddenly had an arm around him before the Sailor Guardians could stop her.
Sasha Calle: Don't Tell anyone but my real identity is Kara Zor-El. I fool everyone by calling myself Cara.
Tack Angel: Gap moé... Cara? Isn't that pronounced the same?
Sasha Calle: No no no no... You see, it's spellllllled with a C instead of an K...
Sasha leaned her body closer against Tack as she slurred her words. Causing Tack to blush a bit.
Tack Angel: T-t-that will be all ladies. Give my best to my wife and granddaughter.
Gerudo guardswoman: By your leave.
The Gerudo bowed and walked away as the Sailor Guardians lifted Sasha off Tack.
Sasha Calle: Say, who are you anyway?
Tack Angel: Would you believe me if I told you I was the King of this planet?
Sasha Calle: You're the King President Prime Minister guy? Your excellency!
Sasha tried her best to do a curtsy but was wobble legged.
Sasha Calle: If I am going to hide my *looks back and forth* secret identity. *Winks*, I gotta follow the King's rules.
Tack Angel: So you'll do anything I say?
Sasha Calle: Of course, you're the King. Don't wanna get marrested.
Tack Angel: Marrested?
Sasha Calle: Yeah, that's where all the naughty girls go. They get marrested and have to do slave labor and not drop the soap.
Tack Angel: Ah! That's right marrested. Let's make sure that doesn't happen to you. Do you know what the opposite is?
Sasha Calle: Mareedom?
Tack Angel: Close enough! Come with me, I'll tell you all about our world.
Sasha Calle: Ok king-y... What's first?
Tack offered his arm, to which Sasha accepted. And they walked off with the Sailor Guardians close behind.
Tack Angel: Let's start off by getting you out of that suit and teach you something about skinship.
Some time later
Earth 5 - Crystal Tower
The Crystal King, The King of Dark Tack Angel was sitting in his lounge surrounded by a half dozen of his wives as they comforted their tired husband.
Rayne Angel: Did you have a long day dear?
Tack Angel: I'm wiped out. Ever since I invited Supergi- Kar- Sasha..... WHATEVER!
Morrigan grabbed Tack's arm and pulled it close between her bosom and whispered into his ear.
Morrigan Angel: Easy darling, relaaaax.
Tack breathed a heavy sigh as 2B & 2P were massaging his feet. Using their android design to amplify the release of tension.
Tack Angel: Ever since I was teaching Sasha about skinship, she took it as skins vs shirts in a basketball game.
Twintelle Angel: And in wanting to add a sister for us...
Tack Angel: I played the game, and lost easily.
Cupid Eros Angel: My dear old lover, I think she may be beyond your abilities.
Tack Angel: No one is.
Cupid Eros Angel: Excuse me?
Tack Angel: *sigh* You're right, that was pushing it a bit far, I'm not a rapist. I just have to be able to win her over.
Morrigan Angel: Well then, let's prepare you for that time.
In a matter of moments, the Angel wives had undressed their husband and were going to pounce on him when the door suddenly burst open.
Sasha Calle: There you are Kingy!
Tack Angel: Cara?!
Sasha walked up to the mass of flesh and extended her hand.
Sasha Calle: Good game today! I wanted to let you know that I'm definitely going to want a rematch.
Tack Angel: A rematch? For the basketball game?
Sasha Calle: Nah, it can be any sporting event. You're definitely my rival now.
Tack Angel: Rival? You aren't put off by all this around me?
The Angel wives were all conveniently covering themselves and Tack in their love pile. Cupid waved hello while the others were focused on Tack.
Sasha Calle: You wrestling with these women? It's pretty cool! Maybe someday we can do that too! Until then!
Sasha then skipped out of the room and slammed the door shut to a very confused Tack.

Reefside Beach
A crowd was beginning to form at the beach, as Bashin Dan, Jammer, Benjamin, and Jaden Yuki ran up to see what it was.
Bashin Dan: Is this as bad as I think it is?
Jammer: Knowing who it is, I bet it’s worse. It’s always worse.
Benjamin: Why didn’t he listen. He was warned so many times!
The group joined the others as they saw Vape, laying on the beach like a beached whale, snoozing away, with a horrible sunburn forming.
Jaden Yuki: Oh! That’s whack yo! It sounds like sizzling bacon!
Jammer: *sigh* He’s not waking up either. He’s out like a hibernating bear until he wants to get up.
Benjamin: The sun can really damage your skin. I found out the hard way wearing armor on the beach. I have a permanent tan line now. *shrug*
Bashin Dan: Wait…what is that on his stomach?
Jammer: That’s a sandwich Dan.
Bashin Dan: I mean other than that. Look.
Jammer: It appears that someone…has drawn a phallic symbol on his forehead…with sunblock.
Jaden Yuki: HAHAHA! That’s a penis!
Benjamin: How uncouth.
Jammer: Who would have done something so funn- awful? Done something so awful is what I said.
?: That would be me Loser Club.
Bashin Dan: Kurogane?
Zyro Kurogane: That’s right. Not only did I do that, but I ALSO kicked over his sand castle.
Benjamin: YOU FIEND!
Zyro Kurogane: Haha!
Mike Thunder: Can’t handle the HEAT?! Stay off the beach!
Bashin Dan: We can handle it just fine!
Zyro Kurogane: Oh yeah? Then if you think you’ve got what it takes, then we challenge you!
Bashin Dan: To Battle Spirits or Beyblade, cause playing with tops is lame.
Zyro Kurogane: …First of all…NO IT’S NOOOT, but it’s neither actually. It’s time for the ultimate summer test!
A large crowd gathered to watch Dan Club and Samurai Ifrit engage in the ultimate battle of Volleyball. Considering not a single one of them except Mike knew how to play the game, it was basically a cluster of confusion and catastrophe. Dan and Kurogane seemed to get the hang of it, while Jammer was disqualified for using Vape as a bounce pad to launch the ball across the net. A second ball had to be found after Benjamin cut the first one in half with the Masamune, and made it up to the small child who owned the ball by slicing open a watermelon with the same sword, so naturally it also cut the table in half, and created a tremor out towards the ocean. Barely able to keep score it came down to Dan getting the assist from Jaden as he launched one that nailed Kurogane in the face, as he fell to the sand and let the ball drop.
Bashin Dan: THAT’S GAME….I THINK!
Zyro Kurogane: Grrrr!
Jammer: …Vape never woke up from that. Someone poke him with a stick!
"Yngwie Malmsteen - Only the Strong"
Larry Grim: Welcome back to the Reefside for one more night of fights before Bushido in Edo! That rhymed!
Makoto Angel: We have a big show tonight as Summer really heats up. I’m not kidding. It’s HOT out here. I thought about wearing a swimsuit, but then Yog’tara tried to one up with a string bikini, and Nani had this like cloth wedgie thing going on and- it’s chaotic. Everything is chaotic. Can’t wait to go back to Edo though! Closest thing to Japan there is!
Apple Kid: What is Japan?
Makoto Angel: Hard to explain.
Apple Kid: That’s fine, I’m hard to explain to. I make a thinking face, and a punch of math figures appear out of nowhere, and it gets distracting.
Larry Grim: So that’s real?! I thought I was hallucinating. It’s so hot that I’M sweating. Me…..sweating. I’m a skeleton man! We got a big show that will culminate in everyone’s favorite match type, where a multi-man tag will determine the fate of a singles title! Those always go over SO well!
Makoto Angel: Johnny Starbound is bringing back a sore subject with my husband. The Mars Championship. Luckily, he’s got a team behind him consisting of Geoff Garrett and Magnum PT, and those guys get along well with Tack. Here is hoping the Red Shirts Saxon and Novus are also nearby to keep things in the ring!
Apple Kid: We’re starting things off with something violent though. Viewer discretion advised, as Jammer challenges Razorblade for the VBW Championship!
EBW: XP
Reefside Beach, Reefside
ENN
1. VBW Championship: Razorblade(c) vs. Jammer
-A hardcore bash between Razor and Jammer opened the show, with the VBW Championship on the line. This match stemmed from Jammer winning the gold for No Rules action at [Redacted] The World Games 2023. Razorblade took control early with a standing black hole slam. Razor tried to slide a ladder in the ring, but Slam Jam dropkicked it back at him. Jammer hit a hurricanrana off the apron that slammed Razor into a standing ladder. Jammer ran Razorblade into the barricade. Jammer set up a table off the barricade. Razorblade threw weapons into the ring. Jammer used a trashcan lid to work over Razorblade. Jammer put Razorblade in a trashcan and then used a kendo stick to beat on the trashcan. Jammer tried to do a flip move, but Razorblade threw a trashcan into his face. Razorblade drop kicked the trashcan into Jammer. Razorblade hit a swinging fisherman’s buster on the trashcan and got a two count. Razorblade made a ladder bridge off the apron on the outside. Jammer crawled out onto it. Razorblade tried to splash onto it, but Jammer rolled out and Razorblade splattered on the ladder. Jammer tipped over the ladder and slid the other into the ring. Jammer set up a table on the outside. Jammer set up a chair stack on the outside. Razorblade made a comeback by throwing Jammer into the diagonal table on the outside. Razorblade tossed Jammer back in the ring and worked her over with a kendo stick. Jammer grabbed a Keno of her own and they traded shots until Jammer got the better of it. Jammer continued working on his chair stack. Razorblade made a comeback and laid out Jammer on a table on the outside, then he splashed her off the stairs, the table didn’t break. He climbed to the middle turnbuckle and splashed him and the table finally broke. Razorblade slid a table into the ring and set it up. Jammer slid in the ring and laid out Razorblade on the table she just set up. Razorblade came back up and tried his big man hurricanrana, but Jammer picked him up and powerbombed Razorblade through the table for a two count. An exasperated Jammer slid out of the ring and grabbed a bag of thumbtacks and spread them out on the ring. Jammer tried for a razor’s edge but Razorblade fought out and Jammer ran into a trashcan set up in the corner and hit a back suplex into the tacks but only got a two count. Jammer pulled the tacks out of his arm while writhing on the ground. Razorblade tried to choke Jammer, even climbing up the second turnbuckle to do so. Jammer gouged Razorblade’s eyes to break the choke. Jammer then hit a suplex off the turnbuckle to the chair stack on the outside. Jammer rolled Razorblade into the ring and covered her for the three count.
Winner: Jammer via Suplex into Chairs[ouch] -> Pin -> NEW VBW Champion!
Larry Grim: WOW! Jammer is the new VBW Champion! NEW VBW CHAMPION CROWNED ON XP!
Makoto Angel: Chairs are for sitting! That was hard to watch!
Apple Kid: Jammer went high risk for high reward, and the VBW Championship is back in the Dan Club.
Larry Grim: Crazy start, but we’re just getting started! Up next, we’re gonna get a big match with the Mystic Bout Machine taking on Zyro-K of Samurai Ifrit!
Backstage
Trevor Mach looked down at a note he had received from Kishin Kid, asking to meet, as he stood atop a lighting rig. At the other end, Kishin Kid began to approach.
Kishin Kid: You actually showed up. I’m surprised.
Trevor Mach: I never back down from a challenge.
Kishin Kid: Challenge? The note says I wanted to talk about faith.
Trevor Mach: Sounded like a bunch of bolshoi to me.
Kishin Kid: Bolshoi?
Trevor Mach: Replacement swear. You want to fight right? I’m here.
Kishin Kid: No, I honestly wanted to know what drives you these days. I figured that’s what guys like you do right? You talk about your faith to others. You have to spread the word right?
Trevor Mach: I’d be barking up the wrong tree with you. I know what master you serve.
Kishin Kid: You think so? I am experiencing a second chance at all of this because of them. The “righteous” abandoned me.
Trevor Mach: Abandoned you? Kid, I’m already cheesed that I missed a Top Gun volleyball reference earlier, so don’t start lying. Tack did everything he could to save you. You didn’t want it. He let you live by your own decisions.
Kishin Kid: We both know that’s not the end of the story. What THEY don’t know about. He changed things, and when he did that, he changed me. See, I had been abducted, and they made a surrogate of me in Zealstrailia. That was Kishin Kid, not me. The experience mind broke me, and I was trapped in my own body. Then he changed the world, and all of that went away. I was free again, but I really WAS Kishin Kid the whole time.
Trevor Mach: Giving away the plot aren’t you?
Kishin Kid: They’re not seeing this part. The feed just cut out. The Preacher is telling everyone that your faith will be put to the test at Bushido. That means they aren’t watching me for once, and I can honestly ask if you think your faith can stand up to what The Preacher knows is coming. The all consuming void. The one The Auditor calls “V”.
Trevor Mach: It can, but not because of me, but because of who I place my faith in. I’m filled with the fire, because HE lit the spark.
Kishin Kid: I see. They can see us again. Care to state your case one last time?
Trevor Mach: If you really care to listen, I’ll work with you.
Kishin Kid: You’d trust me enough to talk with me about this?
Trevor Mach: Gotta step into the lion’s den. That’s my job. That’s what I’m called to do. I do need to warn you though, even Jesus knew how to flip a table, and he did tell his disciples to buy swords.
Kishin Kid: Wow….after all of this…you’d still talk to me…how WEAK! GET HIM!
Trevor Mach: Oh cru-
The Assessor and The Witness ran up behind Trevor and tossed him over the guard rail, sending him to the floor below. It wasn’t a huge fall, but enough to leave the wind knocked out of him. As he looked up at Kishin Kid, The Assessor appeared behind him.
The Assessor: Your skills at assessing the situation are impressive Kishin Kid.
Kishin Kid: I revealed his weakness. I hope everyone saw that. Kindness is weakness. We only live to relish in suffering, and you were wrong Mach. I won’t suffer you….you’re gonna suffer me.
Trevor Mach: *cough cough* Should’ve played volleyball.
2. Singles: Zyro Kurogane vs. Benjamin
-The Mystic Bout Machine had a big test in Zyro-K, as the Masamume clashed with the Beyblade. Metaphorically though, cause I can’t see that working out in reality. Kurogane threw Benjamin into the ropes, but Benjamin landed on the middle rope and struck a pose. They brawled at ringside. Benjamin warned Samurai Ifrit not to touch the Masamune. Benjamin landed a cartwheel moonsault off the ring apron onto Kurogane. Kurogane tossed Benjamin into the time keeper’s area. Benjamin recovered and slammed Kurogane’s face into the table. Benjamin leaped off the ringside barricade and head scissored Kurogane into the barricade. Back in the ring, Benjamin went for a cover and scored a two count. Kurogane held the back of his neck and then rolled to the ring apron. When Benjamin climbed to the top rope, Kurogane knocked him down. Kurogane leaped off the top rope with double knees, landing on Benjamin’s left shoulder for a two count. Kurogane clutched his left knee and banged the mat in frustration. Kurogane tried to stand and couldn’t. He was clearly frustrated as trainers entered the ring to check on Benjamin’s left arm and Kurogane’ knee. Benjamin stood and called for Kurogane to stand, but Kurogane seemed unable to. As Benjamin dropped his guard, Zyro-K showed that he was faking and attacked Benji from behind with a dishonorable Straight Jacket Hagen for the pin and the quick win, cheating the fans out of a fantastic Benji bout.
Winner: Zyro Kurogane via Straight Jacket Hagen -> Pin
Zyro Kurogane: It’s story time with Zyro-K Bey-BEEEEEEY! I show up in this place, and I come out swinging, like a beyblade ripping through the arena! I find myself a 2-Time World Champion, a current World Team Champion, and the rightful King of Games! I’m here showing Bashin Dan how it’s done! You all thought your “boy” was the rightful ACE OF THE PLACE, but you’re looking at him right here! I will be the King of Games after I plant Bashin Dan into the ring with the Straight Jacket Hagen! Bushido! Edo! You will witness the crowning of the NEW AND TRUE KING OF GAMES! BEY-BEEEEEEY!

A Lakitu flew down into the bowels of the building, where it suddenly stopped when it noticed a grimy and grungy area, with a door to a place called “The Smile Room”. The Lakitu tried going inside, but was suddenly stopped by Alison Chains.
Alison Chains: Hey kids! You don’t want to go in there, you’re not ready for it! Trust me! HAHAHAHA! Glad you’re here though, cause I have a lesson to teach you today. It’s called hubris! Can you say hubris? Sure you can! My teeth are trying to escape my mouth and I can say it. I was just about to start pulling them out one at a time, but I guess that can wait right? HAHAHA! Hubris is the key word. Really it’s about getting what’s coming to you. Darkness Aoi is going to learn about hubris personally. I’m gonna wrap this chain around her throat and HANG HER….with uh…kindness…love…and respect kids! HAHA! Wait…don’t run….DON’T RUN!
Swift’s Office
President Swift rubbed his beard, and considered flipping his table, as the siblings Hyde and Lola Tide were once again in his office.
Swift: …After “getting the help you needed” by the Red Shirts, I didn’t expect to see you again.
Lola Tide: Yeah? Well we really REALLY wanna be wrestlers! You guys are like so cool!
Hyde Tide: Plus, we kind of have to succeed if we ever want to go back to the crew and everything.
Swift: Well, you two can take a beating, that much is for sure, but can you fight? I mean, you’re not even experienced pirates are you?
Lola Tide: Just because he doesn’t know how to drive a ship doesn’t mean we’re not pirates!
Hyde Tide: Sail. You sail a ship, and you know what? We’re learning as we go!
Lola Tide: We know how to loot, pillage, and burn! That’s enough!
Hyde Tide: Learning to sail REALLY would be helpful though. Y’know, I’m actively pursuing it…as a hobby.
Swift: I have a plan. You two are going to learn under the Red Shirts, and we’re going to see what you can do there. You work hard enough and you can be wrestlers.
Lola Tide: I don’t hate this plan…yet.
Geoff Garrett: Ol’ Double G has some concerns, but we’ll make it work. I got conditions though. No looting, no pillaging, and especially no plundering! No reigns of terror! Trust me, I’ll know if you’re attempting one. I know…how that works. *Jackie Fargo Strut*
Lola Tide: Pass!
Hyde Tide: Hard pass!
Lola Tide: Rock! Hard! Pass!
Hyde Tide: Frankly, we’re insulted by the offer.
Swift: …
Lola Tide: He’s giving us that look again.
Hyde Tide: How can you tell?
Lola Tide: Look slightly to the left.
Hyde Tide: Oh I see him now! Sorry guys, these eye patches are still really new.
Lola Tide: Isn’t it funny we both lost our eyes on the same day? It’s like-
Swift: ARE YOU IN OR NOT!?
Hyde Tide: OK FINE! WE’LL TRY IT!
Lola Tide: WE WILL?!
Hyde Tide: WE WILL!
Lola Tide: WE WILL!
Swift: …Get out. I’m going to-
Hyde and Lola: Flip the table?
Swift: …You two are going to fit right in.
3. Women’s Singles: Lainey Strong vs. Cherry Akintola
-Early, the women did a test of strength. When Lainey got the advantage Cherry threw a knee. Lainey hit the northern lights for a two count. Lainey locked in a head scissors submission and Cherry threw her into the ropes to break it. Cherry hit a neckbreaker for a two count. Cherry started firing chops at Lainey, who responded with a Hagen Suplex while she was on her knees. Lainey threw her hips into Cherry who was slumped in the corner. Lainey hit another northern lights for a two count. Cherry hit a Hagen Suplex and a pump kick for a two count. She set up for the Cherry Landslide, but Lainey escaped and ran off the ropes to crack Cherry with the basic but powerful Flying Forearm Smash, knocking her down for the three count.
Winner: Lainey Strong via Flying Forearm Smash -> Pin
Makoto Angel: Lainey Strong with the win! She looked very confident out there, and even though Cherry gave her a good fight, Lainey’s forearm finished her off.
Larry Grim: Looks like she’s grabbing a mic, let’s listen in.
Lainey Strong: Anyone who thinks I should be down on myself after losing to Wendy Mustang can bite me. She’s my friend, and I pushed her to give me the best she had. I wanted a fight, cause that’s what we do. I’ve learned from my father, and all the women I’ve fought against and fought with, how to get the best out of someone, and that’s what I want from Gianna Rambaldi. The Euroland Princess is looking to use one of us in that Den to “make history”, but I’m not about to become a footnote. I refuse. You better be ready for a fight at Bushido, cause I’m bringing one into that cage. You’re mine.
Blood 4 Blood Locker Room
Tack Angel was coming out of the locker room with his Blood “5” Blood t-shirt, when he was stopped by Geoff Garrett, Magnum PT, Saxon, Novus, Pucky, and Point Man.
Tack Angel: ….
Magnum PT: You alright Chief?
Tack Angel: I just…am wondering…if I’m having a nightmare?
Point Man: The Point Man does not believe so!
Tack Angel: …Yeah…this is real isn’t it? What can I…uh…do for all of you?
Geoff Garrett: Welp Slap Angel, I-
Tack Angel: I don’t like that name.
Geoff Garrett: I wanted to show you that we’ve ALL got your back tonight, and PT and I are committed to getting that win for ya!
Tack Angel: Yeah?
Magnum PT: Absolutely. The Red Shirts and the Weekend Wrecking Crew are your fans and friends Chief. Double G and I are going to give our best against Samurai Ifrit tonight, you better believe that!
Tack Angel: Wow…I have to say, I have been going through a lot of changes in my life the last few years, but a couple things remained the same, and that was how I felt about you guys…and of course Subculture.
Point Man: The Point Man is touched that you see us like sons!
Pucky: I ain’t got time for this sentimental *bleep* you tit*bleep*er!
Tack Angel: That’s not quite what I mea- IT WAS YOU THAT KEPT CALLING ME THAT! *clears throat* I’d say it was more like how I feel about the Simpsons.
Saxon: That’s got to be high praise.
Novus: I was worried you didn’t like us!
Tack Angel: My point that I’m trying to make is that I try to be a good person at heart. I want to help everyone, and I want to love everyone. That is what Angels do. You guys are reminding me that I need to take help where I can get it, appreciate what’s being presented to me, and strive for greatness with allies at my side! Thanks for the vote of confidence guys!
Magnum PT: I got you a Weekend Wrecking Crew shirt for tonight!
Tack Angel: Absolutely not!
Saxon: How about this Red Shirt!
Tack Angel: Nope!
Geoff Garrett: Guys, he’s a member of Blood 4 Blood and we need to respect tha-
Tack Angel: It’s actually Blood 5 Blood! See, I’m the fifth member and-
Everyone but Tack: It’s not.
Tack Angel: Huh?
Geoff Garrett: We respect you and support you Slappy Slapaphim, and we’re gonna see you out there tonight!
Tack Angel: Great. Thanks guys! I really need to re-evaluate my feelings with those guys. I mean, despite the mullets they-
Magnum PT: *quickly turns back to Tack flinging mullet sweat at his face.* Hey one more thing Chief, we-
Tack Angel: AH! AHHH! AH! IT’S IN MY EYES! AH!
4. Non-Title Singles: Rama Raju vs. Viper
-Viper bailed out early and did jumping jacks. Ram chased him down at ringside and threw him back into the ring. Ram overhead tossed Viper and then signaled for his finisher. Rude jumped onto the ring apron, so Ram turned his attention to him. Ram grabbed him and punched him. Viper kneed Ram from behind and landed a spinning hook kick to Ram’s head. Ram took it and then delivered a uranage. He stomped the mat and then landed a big running Kick. Ram played to the crowd. Ram blasted Viper with a Falcon Arrow and pinned him for the three.
Winner: Rama Raju via Falcon Arrow -> Pin
After the match, Seto Kaiba had Hazen and Rude try to beat down Rama Raju, but it wasn’t until he got in himself to hit the Blue Eyes White Dragon suplex on Ram, that he stayed down. Kaiba held up the EBW World Championship, and his Blue Eyes White Dragon as the crowd booed him.
Seto Kaiba: Oh sure boo me! Who cares! I have money! I have power! I have the Blue Eyes White Dragon! I have everything, and you people have nothing! Rama Raju, you’re a fluke. You’re a peasant. You’re nothing special, while I was born and raised for GREATNESS! That World Championship will be added to my collection. I still don’t know what your issue is with me, but make no mistake, it doesn’t mean a thing to me. I couldn't care less. All that matters is acquiring what I want, and what I want is this belt. At Bushido I win and you lose, and that is life for the rich and powerful!
As Kaiba Corp. walked away, Rama Raju slowly fought back to his feet.
Rama Raju: …You can break my body, but you won’t break my spirit, nor stand in the way of my goals. I will have you in the ring in Edo. I will get what I want. This peasant isn’t worth the violence you inflicted on him. I’ll be happy to return it to you, so it has value again. Load. Aim. SHOOT!
5. EBW Mars Championship 6-Man Tag: Johnny Starbound(c)/Mike Thunder/Isiah Muscle vs. Tack Angel/Geoff Garrett/Magnum PT
-Main event time, as Tack Angel, Geoff Garrett, and Magnum PT joined forces to take on Johnny Starbound, Mike Thunder, and Isiah Muscle. The winner would receive the Mars Championship in the process, Tack’s prized possession. A frantic brawl free for all for most of the match, with Tack trying hard to get the pin, while reluctantly tagging in Double G or PT. Starbound was all smiles as he mocked Dork Angel, and sent the World Tag Team Champions to rough up his two good special friends. Tack and PT were fighting Mike Thunder on the outside, when Johnny Starbound slowly made his way up to the top rope. They all stared at him and didn’t move as he finally hit a flip off the top and crashed down onto them. At the same time, Double G snuck up behind Isiah Muscle in the ring and hit The Stroke. Tack Angel tried crawling into the ring screaming as Geoff Garrett pinned Isiah Muscle for the 1-2-3, winning the match and claiming the Mars Championship!
Winners: Tack Angel/Geoff Garrett[o]/Magnum PT via The Stroke on Isiah Muscle -> Pin -> NEW EBW Mars Champion!
Makoto Angel: YEAH! TACK’S TEAM WON!
Apple Kid: Tack looks distraught about it for some reason.
Larry Grim: Maybe he’s just shocked that the power of friendship prevailed over Samurai Ifrit. Johnny Starbound is laughing and shrugging it off as the ref hands Geoff Garrett the Mars Championship. Here comes the Red Shirts and the Wrecking Crew! They’re all holding up a sobbing Tack Angel.
Apple Kid: He’s so happy that they reclaimed the Mars Championship. What an honor it must be for one of his favorite wrestlers to hold that legendary title.
Makoto Angel: The real war will take place at Bushido, but for now Tack, just let out those absolute tears of joy! Goodnight everybody!
