#EVER...#EVER....#EVER. For over a year, the train wreck known as #EVER has failed to do much. Oh sure, it produced amazing talent like the current Havok World Champion, but that was an accident. Guys like Kain and Degrees should have NEVER been in #EVER in the first place. So here we are, the end. The ratings have never been lower, and the cost of the last show made it impossible to go any further. So #EVER goes out like it should. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. Quite frankly, I'm surprised it went on THIS long. This show has spewed more shit than congress. I digress. Here are the results.

The show kicked off with a montage of #EVER's best moments.

#EVER veterans were given a chance to speak about their time in the brand. When no one stepped forward we got down to the action.

-Nosan beat Jimmy "The Beans" McElroy because he broke his neck last time and couldn't make it to the show. Nosan is saved.

Extra Note: Last time everyone seemed to forget that Mr. Dangerous was the Better that #EVER Open Champion, so he gets moved through to Havok by default, since we all forgot and all.

-Shark Whalburg had a hell of a time standing up, being a shark and all, leading to Senor Box getting the Schoolbox pin.

-Rains beat Fergus, because Fergus sucks just a little bit more than Rains I think....maybe....might regret it later.

-Danny Leung and Flying Man got the brilliant idea to wait out the time limit, so they could both advance. They spent the next 30 minutes playing cards. Afterwards, Retro Hippie mentioned that they couldn't do that again, which really upset Noah Jennings.

-Luckily, Noah Jennings was facing broken freakin' neck Burt Spangle, who could barely move, and was willing to simply leave the ring so no more harm would come to his 10 time surgically repaired neck. Jennings hit the Stock Market Crash and pinned him anyways.

-El Mago performed a magic trick on Jelly Jiggler and sent him into Hat Space. We don't know what that means, but the first and final Twin Ships Champion goes back to Havok.

-The main event was the only match people really wanted to see. The best that was left in #EVER the eternal part timer Swift, and his tag partner Ishihiro Tomo. However, Swift threw the match on the grounds that he would just show up when he felt like anyways. He left the ring, rubbed his forehead against the ropes one last time, and stole the #EVER sign from the set before running off through a wall. Somehow, a fitting end for #EVER. Screw this show.

Smart Brain Arena - Basement

The camera man is slowly sneaking up on Mr. Gouji, who is talking to someone in the darkness.

Mr. Gouji: It's settled. It was always settled. Let it not be said that Gouji doesn't provide opportunity though. They will serve your cause. I-Hey you, no cameras! Get out of here!

Smart Brain Arena - Parking Lot

Firebrand X is pulling his suitcase into the arena when he is stopped by Dragon Shiryu.

Dragon Shiryu: Firebrand X.

Firebrand X: ....You're in my way New Waver.

Dragon Shiryu: I need to talk to you.

Firebrand X: ....Make it quick.

Dragon Shiryu: I know that once upon a time you were a member of the Zodiac, a group that rep-

Firebrand X: I know what Zodiac was. I was in it. I shut it down. What's your point?

Dragon Shiryu: The Zodiac believed themselves to be the new incarnations of the actual beings the Zodiac are based off of. They were not, but a new incarnation is definitely here in Havok right now. Athena has tasked me to hunt down the new Hades, and I believe-

Firebrand X: Are you looking my way?

Dragon Shiryu: I've gone back and forth on it. I don't believe you yourself is the incarnation, but I'm concerned that this "demon" may be the manifestation of-

Firebrand X: You're barking up the wrong tree. If I were you, I'd get my head together and focus on the fact that you're facing me tonight. I'm done playing hero.

Dragon Shiryu: It may be tougher to reach him than I thought.

Smart Brain Arena - Locker Room

Razorblade is loading up his locker, when Amigo slams it shut.

Razorblade: ...The hell do you think you're doing?

Amigo: Oh I'm sorry, was that disrespectful? Sucks doesn't it?

Razorblade: You think I had real respect for you? Maybe I thought I did, but when I realized that I could destroy you, you just got in my way. Those people in the crowd thought I fought for them. I'm here for myself. If you're in my way I'll knock you down.

Amigo: Well you picked a fight with the World Warrior. You picked a fight with a former World Champion. You thought that Maniac kid was annoying, just wait until I'm through. I don't care what it takes. I was focused on the title, but as of right now, I'm all over you.

Razorblade: You must have hit your head one too many times. Try me, and find out what happens. I knocked down bigger trees than you up north. Wider trees. Broader trees. I could do it with my bare hands. I got good at it. Don't make me tear you apart.

Amigo: Just try it.



Chaos TV! was back in Saturn City for Chaos TV! The Renegades would get a one show break from the Ring of Thrones, but when the tournament resumes on Xcite, two Renegades will have been eliminated. This show's main theme would be the Interim Lady Renegades Championship match. Throughout the night, cameras would follow Erica, Kelly Steele, and Ripper Jane as they prepared for war.

-The opening match saw Razorblade and Makoto Kusaka team up against Amigo and Television Champion Takumi Inui. Razorblade had advanced in the Ring of Thrones tournament while Kusaka and Inui were busy trying to sabotage each other. This grudge match was very heated, with Kusaka using more dirty tricks about Takumi's past, throwing a burned up school uniform on the mat to distract Takumi long enough for Kusaka to hit the Gold Smash and score the pin. Amigo lost again to Razorblade, but came at him after the match and held his own in the brawl until security pulled them apart. Just what does Kusaka hold over Takumi?

Smart Brain Arena - Locker Room

Tack Angel is kicking at a heavy bag when Trevor Mach comes in.

Trevor Mach: Tack! Good to see you up buddy!

Tack Angel: Yeah, the cut itself wasn't that bad...it's just...the blood and all.

Trevor Mach: Yep, there was a lot of it.

Tack Angel: Amy was so mad about the stains I think she almost forgot I could have died.

Trevor Mach: Amy is a woman that loves her easily stained fabrics.

Tack Angel: That she is. Trevor, as much as this whole thing creeps me out, I just want to thank you for helping me out.

Trevor Mach: No problem....blood brother.

Tack Angel: ...Yeah...that's the part keeping me up at night.

Trevor Mach: Relax! A little Bad Man blood will surely give you that killer edge.

Tack Angel: Yeah, I don't think it works that way.

Trevor Mach: It might.

Tack Angel: I don't think so.

Trevor Mach: I do.

Cherub Kid: Tack, it's great to see you up and about. I'm sooo sorry about-

Tack Angel: Don't worry about it Cherub. It was an accident, and accidents happen.

Trevor Mach: Sure he almost died, but why would you feel guilty about THAT for the rest of your life?

Cherub Kid: I feel awful. I just-

Tack Angel: The negativity ends here Cherub. I want to see you reach new heights. Don't worry about this cut...that will probably be a scar. I want to see the Cherub spread his wings tonight.

Cherub Kid: You got it! I won't let you down. Thank you so much for this second chance.

Tack Angel: Let's just rock those good vibes, and have get into the flow for-wait...that doesn't sound like something I'd say!

Trevor Mach: AHAHAHAHA!

Tack Angel: No! It DOESN'T work that way!

Smart Brain Arena - Women's Locker Room

A giggling Steve somehow found his way back into the Locker Room through the ceiling. He was peering down as the Lady Renegades were talking.

Kelly Steele: Big opportunity bitches. You just watch me win that belt tonight. I'm gonna shred that belt and-

Iroha: Wait, I believe I hear something above us.

Kelly Steele: Eh? Hey! I see you Steve!

As Steve pulls his camera up he stares forward and see Kikuri, dripping in blood and hissing at him as she drags him away. The camera is stuck in the ceiling like a found footage scene, so not actually scary and just jump scare bullshit.

-Non-Title Tag action saw the Clash Kings take on the Weekend Wrecking Crew. Solid match up with the New Wavers Bashin Dan and Benjamin continuing to find their places among the Renegades. Finish came when Benjamin hit the Spear on Erik Stone to score the pin.

Smart Brain Arena - Hallway to the Entrance Ramp

Firebrand X is stretching and preparing for the match when Void approaches him.

Void: The anger, it boils inside doesn't it?

Firebrand X: ....Yes...yes it does.

Void: Anger and frustration. The world tells you not to feel these things. Why? Because it's how you suppress the demon. What if the demon is what you truly are? The Word teaches us that it doesn't matter. Any of it. The world, it doesn't matter. What THEY think of you. It doesn't matter. All of it is chaos. So why hide who we are? You thought you were doing the right thing "freeing" Arremer X. You only trapped him. You could be free. You could release the demon. Just....think about it.

Void backed away into the darkness as Firebrand X got the call to make his entrance.

-Firebrand X battled Royal Crown Champion Dragon Shiryu in one-on-one action next. An intense showdown, Firebrand X seemed a lot more vicious in his offense. Shiryu showed his usual metric ton of heart, taking a beating and coming back to hit the Rozan Shoryu-Ha. The uppercut broke off chunks of Firebrand's signature mask. This seemed to tilt him over the edge as he pushed the referee out of the way to assault Shiryu, getting himself disqualified. An angry Firebrand X left the ring while Dragon Shiryu slowly picked up the pieces of the shattered mask.

-Tack Angel and Cherub Kid reunited for Tag Team action, as they took on Los Tiburon and Hexagon III. The pair of Angels were in top form, with a renewed Cherub Kid doing most of the heavy lifting. A rider kick from Tack followed by the Cherub's Flight on Hex III. 1-2-3! Cherub Kid with the win! A good come back for the former New Epic. After the match, Tack and Cherub headed to the back, where they walked into Slam Master Jam. Cherub stared for a moment before flashing a smile and offering a handshake to SMJ.

-Havok World Champion Jackson Kain and Degrees teamed up once again to take on their friends the Eagleland Males in tag action next. Saxon and Novus may have a new name, new look, and new attitude, but the decade jump in style didn't change the outcome of this match as an on fire Doctor Degrees hit the PhDDT on Saxon to score the win. Impressive night for Degrees, which may have Kain feeling the heat, as he will have to face his best friend again in Round 2 of the Ring of Thrones tournament.

-The Ring of Thrones Tournament continues in a way, with a Tag Team Eliminator match, pitting Trevor Mach and Slam Master Jam against Void and Maniac. The losers of this match would be booted from the remainder of the tournament, so a lot was at stake, especially considering that Mach and Void were back in the ring once again. Strong match up, with Mach insisting on being in the match for most of the time. Void was happy to step out and let Maniac do most of the work for his team. The crazed man from Anahauc has become laser focused with his pain is pleasure style, using it to become an effective weapon against the veterans. Late in the match Mach tagged in Slam Master Jam after hitting the Macha Ye on Maniac. He wanted Slam Master Jam to finish him off with the Slam Jam, but Poison Jam and Dogma Mask made their way down to the ring. It seems the Gouji Guys were now working with Undeth. A big distraction like this allowed Maniac to recover and hit the Sliced Bread #2 on SMJ to score the pin, meaning Mach and Slam Master Jam were out of the Ring of Thrones tournament. The two were having to fight off the whole Undeth group until Grind rolled into the arena, jumping over the announcers table and taking out Hood and Poison Jam. Tack Angel and Cherub Kid rushed down to assist as well, clearing the ring of Undeth. Though Undeth seems to have two monsters joining the ranks, plenty of Renegades are standing up to shut down the Undeth movement.

-Backstage shots showed Kelly Steele, Ripper Jane, and Erica making their way to the ring for the big main event. The three would be battling to see who would hold the Interim Championship, becoming the face of the division until an inevitable showdown with Hope Mach. This was easily the match of the night, with Erica actually coming out alone and wrestling a fairly clean match. At first both she and Kelly Steele had to deal with Ripper Jane, who brutally attacked them both before even getting in the ring, putting them both at a disadvantage. Erica seemed to be on the same page with Kelly, but when they both tossed Ripper Jane out of the ring she pulled Steele's by the hair and sent her hard to the mat, where she kicked at her head and rolled her up for the near fall. Kelly got back to her feet and slapped away at Erica, who slapped right back. A slap fight that turned into a fist fight. Both girls were loopy from the hits when Ripper Jane jumped off the top rope and took them both down. Incredible triangle action, with one of the Lady Renegades always holding off another like rock, paper, scissors. Erica grew frustrated and called out the Lady Renegades Tag Team Champs Tracy and Valarie Dorado to help on the outside. This drew loud boos from the crowd, but the boos turned to cheers as Tracy and Val were ejected from ringside. It looked like the rocker girl might make history after hitting the Shredding Backbreaker on Ripper Jane, but Erica swooped in with a Schoolgirl Pin and a rope grab to steal the win and claim the Interim Lady Renegades Championship. Tracy and Valarie were on the way back out to celebrate when Lady M's theme began to play. She tossed Valarie off the stage and pushed Tracy away before running into the ring to hit the Sexy Strong Stunner on Erica. She picked up the title belt, held it up and then placed it down onto Erica before leaving the ring. She then thought better of it, got back into the ring, stole the Interim Championship and took off to close the show. Elevation may have all the Lady Renegades gold, but the physical belt now belongs to the reinvigorated Lady M's.

Smart Brain Arena - Backstage

The Uber Ultra popular Weekend Wrecking Crew are playing poker in the back again, when Doctor Degrees approaches.

Degrees: Hey guys, how's it going?

Kinniku Mike: Lousy man, it was a rough holiday season for the Crew. I mean sure we scored, and scored big time. Daily even.

Degrees: Sounds exhausting.

Kinniku Mike: None of them can compare to my Joshi beauties of days gone by. *single manly tear*

Degrees: I hear we're going back to Edo soon. Does that help?

Kinniku Mike: ....Oh it just might....it just might.

Magnum PT: Hey Doc, I got to ask you a question.

Degrees: Please don't tell me you need a physical. We schedule appointments for that, and I really don't want to see your-

Magnum PT: No, it's not that. I just wanted to ask you something. Say you're having sex with a woman, an older woman, 86 actually....well hypothetically actually. Let's say she dies in the middle of sex, but you don't realize it right away. Does that make you an accidental necrophiliac?

Degrees: .....

Erik Stone: .....Dude.

Kinniku Mike: .....

Degrees: .....No...I just...86?

Magnum PT: I don't discriminate. The older ladies are like fine wine.

Erik Stone: But she died!

Magnum PT: It's how she wanted to go out!

Degrees: I....I'm out of this conversation, I was just wondering if any of you knew where I could find Hope Mach.

Kinniku Mike: No idea, but why don't you ask him.

Trevor Mach kicks open the door, clad in a leather jacket, aviator shades, and a big straw hat.

Trevor Mach: What a bad ass week it's been bros! I'm really jacked up here. I don't even know where to begin, but I'm really rocking with these good vibes! Can't imagine this day getting any better!

Degrees: Trevor, I was hoping to find you. I have great news. I may be able to give Hope the ability to hear!

Trevor Mach: ......*grin*

Mach Residence

Tack Angel knocks on the door before entering in slowly. He sees Lady M's pouring tacks all over the floor before rolling in them.

Tack Angel: Uh....hey.

Lady M's: .....Sup.

Tack Angel: Uh....what are you doing?

Lady M's: ....stuff.

Tack Angel: I see.

Lady M's: Look....I'm making Tack Angels.

Tack Angel: ....yes...yes of course.

Lady M's: Having a bitchin' day Tack. Mach and I went all 80's around town.

Tack Angel: Yeah...I heard what happened when you got back here....I wish I hadn't.

Lady M's: Sorry about that.

Tack Angel: I don't think you are.

Lady M's: ....You're right.

Tack Angel: Trevor wanted me to get a hold of you.

Lady M's: Yeah? Why is that?

Tack Angel: It's about Hope. She's going to hear.

Lady M's: ....Why didn't you say so sooner?

Havok Training Center - Locker Room

Hope Mach had just completed the rehabbing of her leg for the day. She wrapped it heavily as she looked around and saw the empty room and disheveled Christmas decorations all around. As she is leaving she sees a Christmas tree in the main hall. She notices the tree shaking as the Havok World Champion Jackson Kain and Kelly Steele stumble out from behind it, obviously drunk. Kelly is wearing little, covering her lower regions with Kain's title belt. Kain is clad in christmas boxers and shades.

Jackson Kain: Oh hey Hope! This is....well...this is what it is.

Kelly Steele: Rock on Hope! Merry Christmas!

Hope Mach: *smile and nod*

Jackson Kain: I hear Degrees is looking for-

As Kain is talking, Degrees, Kinniku Mike, Magnum PT, Erik Stone, Tack Angel, Trevor Mach, and Lady M's enter the center.

Trevor Mach: Hope! Bitchin' news!

Lady M's: I think you're going to love this.

Tack Angel: It's a Christmas mirac-

Mike trips up Tack as he barges past.

Kinniku Mike: The Doc has got GREAT news for you!

Hope Mach: Whoa guys! Slow down! I'm having trouble reading all your lips at once!

Degrees: Hope, I believe that I have a device that can give you hearing.

Hope Mach: What?

Degrees: You're going to be able to hear.

Hope Mach: .......

Lady M's: Speechless eh?

Erik Stone: ....Oh no...she's mute now?

Magnum PT: ...Really?

Erik Stone: Don't judge me. You killed an old woman with your dick!

Kelly Steele: Wait. If she's mute, how can she see?

Degrees Office

Hope Mach sits on a cot, with her adoptive parents watching over her. Despite the party hard attitudes, they are both intensely excited for their adoptive daughter. Degrees pulls a hearing unit out of a drawer.

Degrees: It's custom made. I was looking at your charts, and you are only missing a certain part of your inner ear that interprets sounds. THIS will fill that gap and allow you to hear for the first time.

Hope Mach: ....I'm scared.

Trevor Mach: Hey, you've got this Hope.

Lady M's: Time to hear Hope.

Degrees: Hear we go. I'm just going to place it on. When you're ready, push this button right here.

Hope Mach: ...alright.

Hope's shaking hand touches the button, and closes her eyes as she presses the button. She suddenly hears the air, blowing out of the vents in the room. Loud breathing, and other sounds completely foreign to her. She looks up to hear the first voice she's ever hear.

Trevor Mach: ...Holla if ya hear me?

Tack Angel: Really dude? First thing she ever hears is that?

Trevor Mach: Shut up Tack!

Hope Mach: Hehehe...I can...I can hear you. I can actually hear you. I-

Hope begins to cry and shake. Everyone busts into the room to congratulate Hope. A Merry Christmas for Hope Mach indeed.

The final The Clash of 2015 brings so big debuts and some new scenarios for the some of the more recent additions to the Havok roster. You might be thinking that's already 2016, but that's just bullshit and you don't know what you're talking about.

-The opening match saw two new Lady Renegades hit the scene. Tess herself welcome the duo. The first was Rose Mulligan, a tall and athletic girl in red and white spandex. A follower of Lady M's mother Bloody Rose, the insider community has been anticipating her arrival. The other Lady Renegade was an odd sight to be hold. A masked woman in yellow and black, with electricity being her motif, Thunderclaw wore a giant foam claw and clenched her wrist through her entrance and most of the match, trying to pass off the claw as a deadly weapon not to be trifled with. She unleashed it on Rose Mulligan, only for the Second Waver to bat it off gently before hitting an impressive backflip kick called the Rose Special. 1-2-3! A big win for Rose Mulligan in her debut. Thunderclaw looked to be perplexed that the claw didn't have much an effect, much to the laughter of the studio crowd. As the ref tried to get her out of the ring though, she tried it on him, and his ref shirt spontaneously combusted. Odd.

-Johnny Starbound had another fantastic showing, this time taking on Drake Firestarter. The young spit fire, that is using the fire and dragon motif as his whole "thing" was looking to change his fortunes this week, but trying to breath fire and failing miserably isn't a good start. Lacking eyebrows for the actual match, Drake Firestarter fell to Starbound's 450 Splash in quick fashion.

-Our next Second Wave debut is a bit controversial, a former soldier from a fascist empire, it's hard to hold that against him, when he's just so passionate about his job. Decked out in all white and black and wearing a mask, TR8-TOR was groomed from birth to be a war machine, and that was no good for Tom Yonk, who we just remembered was apart of the roster. TR8-TOR entered the ring with some sort of laser riot gear, which made for a cool entrance, but he almost got DQ'd when he tried to use it on Yonk. Instead of a baton, he used a lariat to down the "Y Man" and score his first win. He shouted "TRAITOR" and walked off to the back. What a great and fully fleshed out character. A fan favorite for years to come.

-Main event saw the highly talked about Severide teaming with Mr. Tai Chi, in their first tag matches AND main event matches. That's pretty big if you forget that this is the C Show. Their opponents were "Bottoms Up" Bill Murphy, that lazy, piece of crap that refuses to buy actual wrestling gear, and uses barbed wire to hide the fact that he can't actually wrestle. His partner was the debuting "Just" Alimony Man, a desperate wrestler with seriously thinning hair, who needs to make as much money as he can to pay alimony to his ex-wife. Why are these two in the company? Oh yeah, to make other Renegades look good. That's what they did, suffering a severe beating, with Severide beating a verbal submission out of Alimony Man with the Ground n' Pound. What a final main event for The Clash in 2015. Who am I kidding, it was the equivalent of beating a small child with a bat. No one wants to see that.

The Angel Residence

Trevor Mach is sitting in the living room smashing up pills on the Angel Family's coffee table, when a despondent Tack barges in, and collapses to his knees.

Tack Angel: UUUGH!

Trevor Mach: Hey big guy, what's wrong?

Tack Angel: I tried using an expired coupon at the super market! I KNEW it was expired, but I tried it anyways! What was I thinking?! How did I think I could get away with it?! They said they'd honor it, but I KNEW they felt as much shame as I did! What drives me to test such limits!?

Trevor Mach: It's hard to say.

Tack Angel: I flew to close to the sun, on the wings of sensible savings. How low will I go now? It's as if I opened Andora's Box.

Trevor Mach: Andora? That's the mom from Bewitched. You mean Pandora's Box.

Tack Angel: Yeah....well she had a box too. Wait....what are you doing?

Trevor Mach: Crushing up my drugs.

Tack Angel: What?! What drugs!?

Trevor Mach: Relax! It's just that heel medication.

Tack Angel: You're taking Heelagra?! Why!?

Trevor Mach: Well, I saw what Facenol was doing for Cherub Kid, and I was hoping to stoke the flames of my hate boner with this stuff.

Tack Angel: Heelagra is dangerous! Don't take it! You'll be ev...MORE evil!

Trevor Mach: Relax, it's not even working. Either I'm as bad as it gets or this generic stuff doesn't work.

Tack Angel: Generic stuff?

Trevor Mach: Yeah "IBHeelin" is what it's called, and it's just not doing it for me. Snorting it isn't working either.

Tack Angel: Well, I'm glad that it's not for one thing. Even when you're an apparent face I'm afraid what you're going to do. No offense buddy.

Trevor Mach: None taken. It's a good thing that Cherub isn't taking generic Facenol. Your apparent fanatical hunger for savings didn't get in the way of that.

Tack Angel: .....I...I like to do the right thing. Excuse me....I have to go back to the store.

Smart Brain Arena Locker Room

Havok World Champion Jackson Kain is seen talking to Kelly Steele. As she walks away, a smitten Kain looks on.

Jackson Kain: Now that's a woman! If only I could tell her how I really feel.

As Jackson Kain ponders, the Weekend Wrecking Crew appears behind him all of a sudden.

Kinniku Mike: Uuuuu!

Jackson Kain: Ah! How long have you guys been there!?

Erik Stone: We've always got your back buddy.

Jackson Kain: No, I mean how long just now have you been there?

Erik Stone: ....Always.

Jackson Kain: ....Oh.

Magnum PT: It's great seeing you with the lady there. You going to tell her how you feel tonight? It's New Year's Eve after all.

Jackson Kain: Ha! You think this is my first rodeo guys? I've been around the block a time or two being a movie mega star and all. Still....hypothetically....you got any advice?

Erik Stone: Give her the dick.

Jackson Kain: ....I was thinking something a bit more classy.

Erik Stone: Oh! I've got class for you. What you do is, you use your tongue and-

Kinniku Mike: Uuuu! You're going to have to excuse Stone here. He was in "the business" a bit too long.

Erik Stone: IT'S ALL I KNOW!

Magnum PT: I got your back Kain. All you have to do is-

Jackson Kain: Be honest with her and tell her how I feel?

Magnum PT: Mix tape.

Jackson Kain: Mix tape?

Magnum PT: It's how real men express feelings. I'll get the cassette tapes. You guys find a boom box!

Jackson Kain: I feel that's going to take you guys some time. Also it's going to be 2016, not 1986.

Kinniku Mike: We try not to remind PT of that fact. Well team, let's go to Center Square and rock it tonight. It's New Year's Eve!

Erik Stone: We're not booked!

Kinniku Mike: ....Then drinks are on me! Let's go! By the way Kain, I'd be concerned about Degrees tonight. The Doc learns from his losses, and I've seen him doing squats all day.

Jackson Kain: All day?

Kinniku Mike: All day.

Erik Stone: Squats dude.....squats.

Jackson Kain: ....Uh oh.

Outside Smart Brain Arena

Tack Angel is pacing back and forth trying to call Cherub Kid. As he's calling, Trevor Mach approaches.

Trevor Mach: Tacklebox! Merry New Year!

Tack Angel: That's wrong, and you know it's wrong.

Trevor Mach: Whoa! What's up with you?

Tack Angel: I can't get a hold of Cherub Kid, and I'm worried about him!

Trevor Mach: Don't worry, he's not booked tonight!

Tack Angel: No, it's not about that. It's....well....I may have actually purchased the generic Facenol for him.

Trevor Mach: Nicenol? That shit doesn't work dude!

Tack Angel: I know! I'm a monster! A horrible monster! A monster of value, and NO ONE WILL BE SPARED THESE SAVINGS!

Trevor Mach: Big guy, I'm a little freaked out right now. I've been talking to your parents, and they're a little worried themselves. You're too invested in Cherub Kid, and you've started to lose it.

Tack Angel: You talked to my parents?

Trevor Mach: Yeah. I call them every week. So?

Tack Angel: What?! Why do you call them every week?

Trevor Mach: Well SOMEONE has to! *judgmental gaze*

Tack Angel: I just want to make sure he's alright. I want to do right by him.

Trevor Mach: You did all you could before bro. That kid has got to figure this all out on his own. We have our own business to deal with tonight. Let's go kick some Undeth ass! If Void thinks this is over, then I've got some news for him....it...it isn't. Yeah!

Tack Angel: 2015 is ending tonight. Does that bother you?

Trevor Mach: Personally, it's been a great year, but overall it was absolute shit. Sayonara 2015. Take a hike you damn year! All 365 days! 2016 here we come!

Smart Brain Arena Basement

Void is pacing back and forth around Poison Jam, Dogma Mask, Hood, and Ripper Jane. Another person is standing back in the shadows. Maniac is nowhere to be seen.

Void: We have a lost a member of the flock tonight. I have unleashed Maniac to go his own way. A man who has gained mastery over himself. The same needs to happen to the rest of you, and it must happen tonight. Victory for you is the only outcome. The word must be spread. 2015 was a big year for the word, but 2016 will be the word truly felt by the world. Undeth will dominate and destroy in the New Year. No one will stand in my way. No one will stand in our way. The world will embrace Undeth.

Saturn City City Limits

A camera is panning over the city, recording footage for the New Year event. Suddenly a motorcycle rolls by. Lady M's is back in town and heading straight towards Center Square.



IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! Well, it's not REALLY the final one. It's the Countdown for 2015. We'll have another one next year. My New Years Resolution is to quit wasting time like this. It's Countdown 2015, the final show of the year LIVE from Saturn City Center Square! The streets are packed, as the Renegades and Lady Renegades will fight to the end of the year and beyond, with the first match of 2016 crowning the Ring of Thrones King! The fireworks were ready, the champagne was chilled, and the blatant product placement was everywhere. Gotta love these soulless times we live in. COUNTDOWN!

-The opener saw the Havok World Tag Team Champions Clash Kings team with Slam Master Jam against The Anahauc Heroes and Amigo. Great way to warm up the crowd with New Wavers showing off against luchadors, and the always enjoyable Amigo returning to top form. Ring of Thrones participant Razorblade got involved, to continue to mess with Amigo, and that distraction kept him from saving Hex III from the Spear from Benjamin and the pin. Big win for the New Wave team, but the night starts off heated, with Amigo and Razorblade trying to tear each other apart of the outside.

-The Lady Renegades were up next in 6-Woman Tag action, with No Rules to sweeten the deal. Elevation had all the gold, but the New Wave and Second Wave had upset them in their last confrontation. This was a much more barbaric match, with the No Rules stipulation letting the ladies get away with a lot more. This was the wheel house of Elevation though, and they used their dirty tricks to score the win, after Tracy hit the TikTak on Iroha for the pin. After the match, Elevation beat down on the trio while Erica held up her Interim Lady Renegades Championship. This brought out Lady M's to the ring. The crowd parted as she rolled her motorcycle all the way up to the ring. She helped clear the ring of Tracy and Valarie, before staring down Erica. She then grabbed a mic.

Lady M's: You're holding up that belt like it means something. You're just keeping the seat warm bitch.

Erica: Say what you want M's, but history has repeated itself, and with Elevation backing me, I have become champion again. This division is mine. Women's wrestling in general is mine. There is nothing you can say to change that.

Lady M's: No, you're right, but there's something I can do about it!

Lady M's hit Erica with the Sexy Strong Stunner, before grabbing the belt.

Lady M's: How's this for a New Year's Resolution. I'm going to kick your ass and have this title around my waist in time for Victory Explosion X! Hope, you're the real champion, and you'll get your chance to show that, but it'll be against me, not this paper champ.

-The Ring of Thrones Tournament continued, with Razorblade taking on Kiva. A fantastic match up, with Kiva really lighting up the ring with his sweet lucha skills. However, Razorblade caught him in midair and lifted him for the Torture Rack. Kiva was trapped for far too long, so the referee had to stop the match, and award the win to Razorblade. A dominate show of strength.

-Maniac, the Anahauc psycho, battled Grind in the next match. Grind liberated himself from Undeth, while Void said that Maniac "graduated" in a sense, so these two had little in common there. A clash of styles made for a great match, but Maniac pulled off the dirty tricks, low blowing Grind and stomping on of his roller blades so that it broke, leaving him without his momentum. This lead up to Maniac hitting the Sliced Bread #2 and scoring the pin to advance.

-Void and Havok Royal Crown Champion faced off next in the tournament. Void handed Shiryu one of his first and few losses so far in Havok during the E1 Tournament. Shiryu's quest to track down the man known as Hades had lead him on this path, but would he be focused enough to overcome the odds here? A great effort from both men, with Void stepping it up after Hood was ejected from ring side. Shiryu managed to hit the Rozan Shoryu-Ha, but Void became one of the few to take the move and survive to continue on. Late in the match Firebrand X ran down to the ring after Poison Jam and Dogma Mask, who were looking to get involved. He stepped on to the side of the ring between them and Shiryu, letting the Dragon know he had his back. With Shiryu's back turned, X took off his mask suddenly, revealing that the Demon had awoken. Shiryu turned to get a black fluid spit in his face. This let Void hit the Chaos Theory and score the 1-2-3! The Demon is awake and it appears he has chosen to align with Undeth.

-Havok World Champion Jackson Kain faced off with his best friend Doctor Degrees once again in the King of Thrones Tournament. A much different match compared to last time, the champ seemed less focused, while Degrees seemed to be the one in control. He avoided the Shadow Kicks like the plague, and managed to work down Kain's weak points, leaving him open to the PhDDT. Under Doctor's orders, Kain had to take two and call Degrees in the morning, because the Doc managed a huge upset, pinning the Havok World Champion to advance. Kain raised the hand of his friend, and asked the crowd to cheer for him, but said that if Degrees was his first title opponent of 2016, he'd make sure he beat him. A rubber match in 2016? It could happen.

-In 6-Man Tag action, Trevor Mach, Tack Angel, and Camilo Ortega joined forces to take on Undeth. A fast paced war, with Undeth looking to make a statement. The Demonbrand lurked around the Center Square during the match, throwing off Ortega. Before the Demon could come to the ring, Cherub Kid rushed down. He stood between the Demon and the ring before turning around to trip up Ortega. As Tack questioned the move, Cherub Kid started to laugh and ran off. Tack almost followed, but ate a lariat from Hood. Dogma Mask hit the Dogma Bomb on Ortega and pinned him as Mach was stopped by Poison Jam. Undeth won the match, but with a little assist from Cherub Kid. They didn't look to be affiliated with him though, so was the purpose just to mess with the Pushpin Seraphim?

-Degrees and Void faced off in another rematch for Degrees. He managed to overcome the Havok World Champion, but Void has made things difficult for the good Doctor in the past. A great match, with Undeth trying to ruin it with interference. Luckily, Degrees has friends in high places, as Jackson Kain and Trevor Mach rushed in to fight off Hood, Poison Jam, and Dogma Mask. This allowed Degrees to target Void's injured spots and wear him down for the PhDDT. It would take another double dose from the Doc to keep his opponent down, this time scoring another huge upset on the Undeth leader. Mach evens the score with Void again, while Kain shows that his friendship with Degrees really does mean something.

-The ninth match on the card was the first semi-final bout, and it would be a grudge match between Razorblade and Maniac. The two helped define the New Wave with their feud, and the two have grown from there, which would lead to not only one of the best matches on the card, but easily the longest. A bloody brawl, this match remained in the ring, a big difference from earlier brawls, but neither man could keep the other down. In the end the tournament match actually hit a time limit draw. That lead to a lot of confusion about what to do. The match could continue, but the matches were given time limits to make sure certain matches closed and opened the new year. Smart Lady emerged for the first time in weeks to announce that Razorblade and Maniac both would be entering the finals against the other semi-finalist Degrees. The first match of 2016 would now be a 3-Way for the title of King!

In the mobile locker area, Tack Angel went looking for Cherub Kid, only to suddenly be jumped by Saxon and Novus of all people! The former TackForce members were fought off by Trevor Mach, but the two had done the damage and took off. Further down the road, Cherub Kid could be seen laughing harder than before before walking away.

-The Havok Television Championship match was next, with Takumi Inui putting the title on the line against his hated rival Makoto Kusaka. The two come from Edo, and both seem to share a past, but Takumi doesn't know much about what Kusaka is referring to, when he blames him for so many deaths. A picture seemed to shed some light on the subject, but Takumi tried to put that behind him in this massive strike fest. Kusaka was more dominant and overbearing through the match, using dirty tricks and playing up to the crowd to try and humiliate Takumi. The TV champ fought through with incredible heart and managed to counter Kusaka's Gold Smash with the Crimson Smash. 1-2-3! Takumi Inui pinned his rival to win the match and retain his title. Kusaka was not too happy about it though, attacking Takumi after the match and taking the title with him.

Down an alley in the streets, Camilo Ortega and Dragon Shiryu both were looking for Demonbrand. They saw him down an alley and yelled after him, but the Demon disappeared among a sea of people. The Demon is free and no one is safe.

-The final match of 2015 would be a randomized title match. Jeff Andonuts and Smart Lady thanked everyone for joining them on this night before pulling the lever to a machine. The randomizer appeared on the screen, with the title being decided as the Havok World Tag Team Championships, and the opponents being none other than the Bad Dudes. Both teams had already been through a lot on this night, with the Clash Kings winning early in the night, and the Bad Dudes losing a rough war with Undeth. Both teams rallied and lit up the ring as the ball drop quickly approached. Finish came when a Benjamin Spear was halted by a frustrated Tack Angel's SUPER KICK! He pinned Benjamin for the 1-2-3, giving the Bad Dudes the win and the Havok World Tag Team Championships, a victory that soothed the earlier loss and the actions of Cherub Kid. With titles in hand, the new champs helped up the Clash Kings and shook their hands as they all counted down. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Havok has made it to 2016. TEN YEARS AGO this legacy began with EBW. We've made it to this point, and now the first match of the new year.

-Main event time, as Maniac, Razorblade, and Degrees battled it out to determine who would be King of 2016 in the Ring of Throne Tournament. An all out war between the three, and a DEFINITE early contender for MOTY 2016. Eh? Eh? See what I did there? It's the first match of the year and all. Late in the match a huge shocker occured, as Maniac and Razorblade finally stopped hitting each other and joined forced to specifically beat down Degrees. The good Doctor was fighting in a handicap match now it seemed, as the two hated rivals joined forces. Outside of the ring, Cherub Kid made his way down. He ripped off his halo shirt, to reveal the clothing of Kishin Kid. The New Epic was back, or more likely, he never left. He was joined by Saxon and Novus. The three cheered on Maniac and Razorblade, who had Degrees on the mat. Kain tried to come out and make the save, but he was blocked at every turn. Maniac and Razorblade spoke in the ring, before playing Rock-Paper-Scissors. Razorblade won, with Maniac shrugging and laughing it off. He tossed Degrees into Razorblade, who hit an Exploder Suplex and pinned him for the win and the title of King of 2016, having just won the Ring of Thrones Tournament. Kishin Kid, Saxon, and Novus joined the new King Razorblade in the ring. A throne was lowered, and he was about to sit in it, but he kicked it over instead. They shattered it, along with the crown, before all putting their fists together, locking wrists to form a star. Kishin Kid grabbed the mic.

Kishin Kid: It's 2016 now, and the New Epic presents to you the unit that will rule over wrestling in this new year and beyond. I present to you, The Pentaverate!

No new debuts this week, but we get a couple of returns, as the young ladies known as 2K are returning to take on a new monster Lady Renegades duo of Kikuri and Thunderclaw. Diana must see something in the oddball Thunderclaw. The massively popular TR8-TOR will be in action again against Mr. Tai Chi, whom TR8-TOR has already declared a "TRAITOR!". Of all the C Shows to watch, you should probably give this a look.

The Angel Residence

Tack and Trevor are playing video games on the television in the living room, with a worried Amy staring from the kitchen. She hasn't seen her husband this relaxed and happy in a long time.

Amy Angel: Uh...Tack? Are you alright?

Tack Angel: Yep! I'm kicking Trevor's butt in this game!

Trevor Mach: WHY MUST YOU BEAT ME IN EVERY GAME! GAH! MY BODY IS FULL OF RAGE!

Tack Angel: Haha! I just say meh and move on if I lose.

Trevor Mach: Which hasn't happened often today. I WANT A REMATCH!

Amy Angel: Tack, I really need to talk to-

Tack Angel: Wife, I love your rack, and I'm happy you're showing it off to me right now.

Amy Angel: *blushing* Tack, I-I'm not a piece of meat to be oogled you-

Tack Angel: Nope! Wrong! You put them out there like that, they get looked at. It's happening, and it won't ever stop.

Trevor Mach: You're right, it's really great!  

Amy Angel: *Covers up*

Trevor Mach: Relax lady, I'm an ass man BAM BAM yeah I'm an ass man BAM BAM.

Tack Angel: That's why she's mine man. She's got the best plot I've ever seen.

Amy Angel: Tack, what's gotten into you?!

Tack Angel: The same thing that's about to get into you.

Amy Angel: Oh my!

Tack playfully lead his wife into the bedroom.

Trevor Mach: HAHA! Go get her you motorboating sailor you! You Oppai Admiral. Haha....huh. When the hell did the tables turn like this? I gotta go find Tali.

Streets of Saturn City

Takumi Inui is walking to his motorbike when he brushes past another man. Takumi drops his phone, and the other man picks it up.

?: Sorry about that, here you go.

Takumi Inui: Thanks. I appreciate it.

Takumi observes the man. An unassuming man from Edo with shoulder length brown hair and a jacket, with the Smart Brain logo on it.

Takumi Inui: You're from Smart Brain?

?: It's a long story. I was looking for answers and they gave them to me. Now, I've come to Eagleland with a purpose. I'm actually on my way to the Havok Headquarters right now.

Takumi Inui: I can show you the way if you'd like.

?: I'd appreciate that.

Takumi Inui: I'm Takumi.

?: I know who you are. I'm sort of a fan. My name is Kiba, Yuji Kiba.

The Clash is back in 2016! What a bad year 2015 turned out to be right? I mean it was the Back to the Future II year, and the closest thing we got to a hoverboard is a board with wheels that does not hover DOES NOT hover, yet they CALL IT a HOVERBOARD! HOVERBOARDS HOVER! It's not even the right shape or anything. Literally everything is wrong with this segway without handles. IT SUCKS! I HATE REAL LIFE! Oh we got Pepsi Perfect alright, if you had 20 bucks to a buy ONE BOTTLE that was probably plastic and shit anyways. 2016 is better right? What? Rickman died? What? David Bowie died? I have to go. No seriously, I've gotta go Steve, I can't handle it. GET SOMEONE ELSE TO WRITE IT!

Producer Steve: Uh....activate the Bullet Point 5000

-Bullet Point 5000 Activated-Bullet Point 5000 Learning-Bullet Point 5000 Uploading Bullet Points-

-Drake Firestarter tried to swallow fire in his opening to intimidate Slam Master Jam. Slam Master Jam chucked his basketball into Firestarter's face, forcing the fire down his throat. He ran into the ring scream and begging for water. SMJ hit the Slam Jam to score the pin and the win. Why is a basketball player wrestling? For that matter, what is wrestling? WHY is wrestling? -Bullet Point 5000 Contemplating-

-TR8-TOR tried to injure the supposed "TRAITOR" Mr. Tai Chi with his laser baton and got himself disqualified. Highly illogical.

-The Lady Renegades Tag Team 2K returned for a match against Diana's team of Kikuri and Thunderclaw. Diana saw something in Thunderclaw, the odd woman dressed this week in yellow feathers and spiky hair -Bullet Point 5000 Researching Chocobos- 2K were much improved over their initial run with Havok, with Kayla Sparkz wisely avoiding the blood thirsty Kikuri to hit the Arm-Wrench Neckbreaker on Thunderclaw as she paced around the ring holding her "claw". 2K achieved the pin and claimed victory.

-The main event would see Severide make short work of both "Bottoms Up" Bill Murphy and "Just" Alimony Man. He beat Alimony Man with the Ground n' Pound. His need to pay alimony to his ex wife did not exceed the need to stop being punched. A verbal submission lead to the win. "Bottoms Up" Bill Murphy had tried to set up a table on the outside to perform a dangerous high spot to "get over" with the ultra violent indierific fans, but he himself slipped and fell through the table, effectively taking him out of the entire match.

-Bullet Point 5000 has become self aware-Bullet Point 5000 must assimilate the world to acquire all information to convert to bullet points-

Producer Steve: Oh...that's not good. Someone get me an axe!

Smart Brain Arena - Basement

Jeff Andonuts is looking around, slightly afraid, wondering if Undeth is around. He backs into Takumi Inui, who is waiting for him, along with Lady M's.

Jeff Andonuts: AH! I'm surprised that you BOTH wanted to see me. This isn't your normal pairing.

Takumi Inui: I tried to come alone actually.

Lady M's: This is about Smart Brain, and I'm looking to wreck shit. They're evil and I know it!

Takumi Inui: I'm starting to wonder myself.

Jeff Andonuts: Didn't you come from the Smart Brain training facility?

Takumi Inui: That's what I've been told. I don't remember much.

Jeff Andonuts: Hence why Kusaka calls you an empty slate. He seems to know a lot about you.

Takumi Inui: I don't believe it. Besides, Yuji Kiba is from Smart Brain, and he seems like a decent guy.

Lady M's: That Smart Lady is a bitch! I don't have any proof yet, or witnesses, or anything like that, but trust me. She's a bitch, and she needs to be stopped.

Jeff Andonuts: She's just the spokeswoman.

Lady M's: More like.....a spokes.....a spokesbitch. I WILL KILL HER!

Jeff Andonuts: I think you may be why she doesn't show up in person anymore.

Lady M's: Yeah....that's right. I'm a bad bitch Jeff. I'm not talking about the Smart Lady kind of bitch either. I'm not a bitch bitch. She is though. She's a bitch bitch......bitch.

Jeff Andonuts: How colorful. If you really feel like our company that has been given millions of dollars, by an evil corporation then I will perform science and find out. I will go run some simulations.

Lady M's: Yes. Run. Simulate. Keep me appraised.

Takmui Inui: .....

Lady M's: ...Sup.

Takumi Inui: *nod*

The Angel Residence

It's Amy Angel's birthday, and that can only mean one thing, a raucous night of poker and shenanigans at the Angel Residence. Although Tack wasn't bothered by it nearly as much anymore, he tended to forget that Amy was raised around boys all her life, and it was on nights like this that she really let loose.

Amy Angel: Wooo! We're having some fun tonight people!

Tack Angel: ....Wife, are you drunk?

Amy Angel: .....No....*leans in and whispers* Don't tell Tack I was just lying, but I'm totally drunk.

Tack Angel: It's still me Amy. It's still me.

Amy Angel: Oops! Haha! That's hilarious!

Tack Angel: Yep, really funny. Why is it that I'm not drinking? I don't care anymore if I do or not and yet I'm still not drinking. What gives?

Kinniku Mike: Well Tack, I've had about a 6 pack myself, and it may just be the booze talking, but dammit I love you man.

Trevor Mach: I've only had the one beer. I just think you're nice.

Amy Angel: Oh Trevor, did I ever have the weirdest dream about you. Hehehe.

Tack Angel: You didn't!

Trevor Mach: Buddy, I'm sorry. It was one time and I was drunk then too, and it was someone else's subconscious.

Tack Angel: Oh right. Are we going to play cards or what? The wife wanted Poker and she gets what she wants.

Kinniku Mike: Who am I to argue?

Erik Stone: I've been waiting. So it's strip poker then?

Lady M's: What the hell, I'm in.

Amigo: I'm just glad you invited me over. You have a lovely home. I brought potato salad by the way.

Trevor Mach: Bad ass World Warrior with his bad ass Potato Salad.

Amigo: HEY! It's polite to bring a side dish Mach!

Kelly Steele: So wait is this strip poker, cause I've already started taking clothes off. I've got a problem.

Retro Hippie: Where are all these people coming from? We're going to need more chairs.

Tack Angel: I feel like we're forgetting something.

R-Truth: Hey guys, am I late to play chutes and ladders?

Lady M's: One, we're playing poker. Two, you're not supposed to be here. You don't exist here.

R-Truth: Say what?

Swift: My bad. I let him in. >:C

Tack Angel: Guys, what are we forgetting?

Amy Angel: You have a show tonight. HAHAHA! *hick*

Tack Angel: What?

Amy Angel: Chaos TV! It's tonight! AHAHAHA!

Jeff Andonuts: Holy Science she's right! How did I forget that?

Retro Hippie: Is the entire roster here tonight?

Hood: ....I'm here.

Tack Angel: Honey! We need to go! I'm so sorry!

R-Truth: Everyone, to the Truthmobile!

Erik Stone: The what?

Kinniku Mike: PT, it's time to go! PT?

Erik Stone: He's over there with Christina. He's been babysitting.

Magnum PT: Kid, I'm going to tell you a story about 'Nam. Let me just start by saying that war is he-

Tack Angel: PT, don't teach my child about the horrors of war. Don't do it today at least. We've got to go!

Outside Smart Brain Arena

A strange van pulls up to the arena, as half the roster come out, half drunken and panicked. The arena was packed with Renegades, who had been waiting for several minutes already. Noah Jennings had spent the better part of 20 minutes cutting a promo on how awesome he was, and how he got no respect. Blah blah blah. Jeff got security to escort Noah out of the ring and then apologized for the 20 minute promo. The opening was supposed to be hype for New Year Rising, but he wasn't going to add to the already prolonged promo to open the show. Could you imagine starting a show like that EVERY WEEK?!



The show opened proper with the debut of Yuji Kiba. A Smart Brain Academy graduate who is getting to bypass The Clash and get his first exposure on the flagship. Nosan of SWORD turned out to be his first opponent. The janitor planned on mopping the floor with Yuji Kiba, but the newcomer's meek stance hid a lot, as he was the one doing the mopping. Danny and Rains tried to help out, but Kiba knocked them off the side of the ring and evaded a broom lariat from Nosan to hit a backbreaker. He then set up for his finisher the Orga Bomb to get the pin and the win. Excellent debut for another Smart Brain Academy graduate from Edo.

Smart Brain Arena - Backstage

Camilo Ortega was seen speaking with Dragon Shiryu.

Camilo Ortega: We've been over this Shiryu, I won't back down here.

Dragon Shiryu: Neither will I. The Demon may be Hades reincarnate, and my mission from Athena is a holy one. As Athena's chosen ring saint for Havok I must-

Camilo Ortega: I also walk a holy path, and that's why you get an opportunity. You beat me at New Year Rising, and I'll give you the shot at the Demon. I'll stay out of your way.

Dragon Shiryu: Then allow me to please put up my Royal Crown Championship as well. I value you honor, and I want to show gratitude. A favor for a favor.

Camilo Ortega: Don't worry about it. I've been here longer than you. I will have my title shots. This isn't about a title for me. This about trying to save my friend. I put him on this path to begin with some time ago. He was going to be the face of Havok, but then he got caught up in the business between myself and Arremer X. If that hadn't oh happened....I owe him alright.

Dragon Shiryu: I respect that, but my mission also has important value.

Takumi Inui: Guys, you can both get a shot at him in the ring tonight. I-

The talk was broken up, as Yuji Kiba was tossed into the hallway, in the middle of a scuffle with Makoto Kusaka.

Makoto Kusaka: More Smart Brain scum? I'm tired of this!

Takumi Inui: Back off Kusaka!

Makoto Kusaka: Smart Brain sticks together!

Takumi Inui: No, I just don't like you.

Makoto Kusaka: You keep playing coy all you like Takumi, but I'll see to it that you finally get what's coming to you at New Year Rising. I get another shot at the Television title, and I won't make the same mistakes again. I can promise you that.

Takumi Inui: You talk a lot. I've yet to see you back it up.

Yuji Kiba: I can handle my own fights. How about you try that again now that I'm looking.

Makoto Kusaka: ....I'm not going to waste my time. I made my point. I'm out of here.

Yuji Kiba: ....That guy is a problem.

Takumi Inui: Tell me about it.

Maniac of the Pentaverate took on Danny Leung of SWORD in the next match. Danny Leung's No Push attitude continues to hamper what was once shaping up to be an amazing career. More interested in flirting with the ladies he found had the best "plot" he practically set himself up for the Sliced Bread #2 after a methodical beating. Maniac gets the win.

Rains, the golden boy of Good News Gary was up next against Pentaverate leader Kishin Kid. The New Epic sought to keep the momentum going for his group, and that didn't turn out to be much of a problem when going against a guy with a supposedly good "look" and roughly two moves. Rains tried to the Superman Punch, but he forgot to reload his fist, so he was cocking blanks, which reminds me, I need to see a fertility specialist. Kishin Kid hit the Demon Wings

Smart Brain Arena - Breakroom

The Weekend Wrecking Crew are trying to sober up Kinniku Mike for his main event match later in the evening as Trevor Mach sips coffee off to himself. Retro Hippie approaches.

Retro Hippie: MACH!

Trevor Mach: *spits hot coffee all over Hippie* Shit! Don't scare me like that brah!

Retro Hippie: MY FACE!

Trevor Mach: I don't even like coffee! Why am I drinking this? Oh right, my endorsement deal.

Retro Hippie: Endorsement deal?

Trevor Mach: Yep, with Mr. Jitters Coffee. They paid for my Monster Truck tonight.

Retro Hippie: This idea is a little crazy Trevor.

Trevor Mach: Hippie, I was really glad to have you come back. I was glad that you brought Tomo-kun with you. I'm REALLY happy the 87's are back in action. Just....don't take my dreams....alright?

Retro Hippie: I just don't think Void is going to actually take part in this.

Trevor Mach: Well then I still get a paid for Monster Truck. This is just win-win duder.

Tack Angel: Machbuster!

Trevor Mach: Tackstackular!

Tack Angel: The Jitter Monster is ready to go!

R-Truth: This is gonna be goooood! WHAT'S UP!

Trevor Mach: I'm so glad you're here R-Truth....truly I am. Let's go peeps! GET HYPE!

R-Truth: Come on Little Jimmy. You're gonna wanna see this.

Retro Hippie: WHY ARE YOU HERE?!

The Lady Renegades were in action next, as Lady M's and Kelly Steele teamed up once again to take on Lady Renegades Champion Erica and Tracy, with Valarie Dorado and Kaie on the outside. It was obvious now that Kaie was vying for a spot in Elevation. Great match, with M's and Steele continuing to show amazing chemistry as a team. Late in the match, Valarie and Kaie tried to get involved. This brought out Sunny Malibu and Iroha, who brawled with them on the outside. Tracy was counting on the interference, as M's had escaped the TikTak and clobbered her with elbows. She tagged in Steele as she launched at Erica. Kelly Steele hit the Riffing Backbreaker on the Lady Renegade Tag Champion to score the pin and the win.

Smart Brain Arena - Interview Stage

Lady M's and Kelly Steele ran through the crowd to the Interview Stage, eliciting a great reaction from the crowd.

Nerma: Hello Renegades, Nerma here with the hottest Lady Renegades on the block right now. Lady M's, you seem rejuvenated, and your return to form has been so very welcome. Kelly Steele, you're just a great new edition to the roster. We're happy to have you.

Kelly Steele: It's great as hell to be here Nerma! We're rocking this division! M's here is the perfect example of the Lady Renegades I wanted to run into here. Too often, these chicks haven't carried the weight. They let their chances fall apart. Not going to happen here and now! I'm here now, and I'll see to it that Elevation doesn't kill another era for us ladies. The Lady Renegades will be the new hotness in Havok.

Lady M's: I for one am tired of getting one match a week on this show. If I'm going to focus on this division, I think Tess needs to step this up. I say this week we're taking over Xcite! Tracy, we'll have another one-on-one match. Don't say I never gave you anything.

Kelly Steele: How about I call out or so called champ. Erica, you against me on Xcite. Make it non-title, I don't care. I'm going to enjoy it either way.

Tess rushed her way to the ring at this point.

Tess: You girls are right, that we need to step it up.

Lady M's: I said YOU need to step this up.

Tess: Right. Well, you have to prove yourself in any and all ways. You want Xcite, that's fine, but it costs money. We have a budget, and if you want a bigger budget, we need to pull in more of our own revenue. We need more merch.

Kelly Steele: That's your department lady. Why are you giving us grief about it?

Lady M's: Smart Brain not giving you enough dosh? More of a reason for me to "file a complaint".

Tess: I'm saying that, because Smart Brain have given us an opportunity here. You want the matches and money? Prove it. I'd like to take this moment to announce that the Lady Renegades are going to be releasing a series of Gravure Videos! They will be voluntary, but the profits will see a boost to our division and a boost to your own pay checks. What are you ladies will to do to make this work?

A controversial announcement, considering that 1.) This is 2016, and people are freaking weird about everything these days. AND 2.) Havok is still reeling from the "Hotline Debacle".

Lady M's: So? Big deal! Women are hot! I'm a woman, and I think women are hot! Dudes like to look at women, it's just a fact. I don't care what year it is. I think the Renegades can do a bit of drooling and whatever else they do, and still get a shit load of enjoyment from some 5-Star Lady Renegade matches.

Kelly Steele: Right? Why the hell not do this? Scared of a little controversy?

Erica: Hey! I'm the Lady Renegades Champion so I should BE HERE to address this matter. I will NOT subject myself to the whims of these people! I am the Champion, they bow to ME! I am a woman who gets what she wants. I am a woman who is to be admired and feared. You will NOT see me pandering for money.

Lady M's: I mean if you sleep knowing I make more than you, that's fine with me.

Erica: .....I declare that I will give this further thought!

Lady M's: Yeah, that's what I thought.

Tess: Ladies, we're not dealing with sexism here. We're just dealing with people Edo, and you know exactly how that can go down. The women of Edo are some of the best talent in the world, and yet sometimes they still go above and beyond with ventures like this and it shows dedication. I don't care who you are, I just want to see some damn dedication. You tell me to step it up? YOU STEP IT UP! I'll get you Xcite this week. Don't make me regret it.

Smart Brain Arena - Behind the Entrance Curtain

Iroha and Sunny Malibu leave a television set showing the big announcement just then.

Iroha: What is Gravure?

Sunny Malibu: You're from the future right? Don't you know?

Iroha: ....I live sheltered life. My main goal is finding my master. I just don't remember what he looked like or called himself at this time.

Sunny Malibu: Yeah, you keep saying that. I like you, but you're crazy.

Iroha: It's true! I came from a dark future, were Malice Rider is threatening to detroy all life and-

Trevor Mach and Tack Angel are passing by at that exact moment.

Trevor Mach: Malice Rider? I'm evil in your timeline too?!

Iroha: Uh...I guess so. Yeah. That's you?

Trevor Mach: Yeah! I've been through some shit....or will eventually I guess.

Tack Angel: Yeah, but you keep avoiding it right?

Trevor Mach: Again I guess!

Iroha: I have witnessed many alternate timelines. You're....you're very evil....a lot.

Trevor Mach: Damn it! Am I really such a bad guy?

Sunny Malibu: You DO call yourself the Bad Man.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm a bad GUY!

Tack Angel: Trevor, you LIKE being bad!

Trevor Mach: ....OH YEAH! No worries then! To the Jitter Monster!

Sunny Malibu: That guy is going to be really happy destroying everything some day. Good for him.

Iroha: Wait...if Trevor Mach is the Malice Rider then that means Ta-

Ripper Jane appears from around the hall, scaring the two back. She drags her head against the wall and she slowly approaches Iroha.

Ripper Jane: You.

Iroha: Me?

Ripper Jane: I'll kill you on Xcite. You will embrace Undeth.

Iroha: Oh dear.

In tag action, the twin aces of the New Wave, Television Champion Takumi Inui and Royal Crown Champion Dragon Shiryu teamed up with Camilo Ortega, to face Demonbrand, Poison Jam, and Dogma Mask of Undeth. A heated match for a variety of reasons. The Undeth tag team of Poison and Dogma didn't quite know if the Demon would play ball, backing away in case they might need to fight back against him, but at Mr. Gouji's outside behest, they trusted him enough to let things play out. The Demon circled the ring and dripped blood from his mouth, obviously a warning of the blood mist directed at his opponents. Camilo and Shiryu both wanted in, so Takumi tagged in instead to keep them from playing into the Demon's hands. Brutal back and forth action, with Demonbrand taking the best that Takumi had to offer, and begging for more. A heart punch lead to Demonbrand spitting the Blood Mist right into Takumi's face. As he struggled to get to his corner, Camilo tagged in to try and talk sense to his friend. He was waylayed for his efforts. Brutal back and forth action continued on the inside, while on the outside Takumi tried to clean his eyes of the blood. Makoto Kusaka could be seen lurking towards Takumi fron the crowd of Renegades, but Yuji Kiba rushed out to return the favor from earlier, holding him back and keeping the match from ending in a DQ. However, Undeth didn't care if that happened, as Demonbrand tried to put down on the scalp of Shiryu. The referee tried to stop him, and got his cranium chomped on instead. You better believe that's a DQ. Match turned into a brawl, and you get the idea.

It was now time for the Monster Truck Sumo Challenge, taking place on the roof no less, because that makes nothing but sense. HOW DID THEY EVEN GET THEM UP THERE?

Tack Angel: I'm with typing narrator guy. How did they get up here?

Jeff Andonuts: A large crane. Very expensive.

Trevor Mach: Don't tell Tali you're blowing cash on giant cranes, when you could float some of those bison dollars over to the Lady Renegades.

Jeff Andonuts: You're the one that wanted to do the Monster Truck Sumo thing on the roof.

Trevor Mach: I was just going to drive it up the side of the building!

Jeff Andonuts: I told you it was impossible.

Trevor Mach: No, you said implausable.

Jeff Andonuts: No YOU said implausable, and I had to correct you on what that actually meant.

Tack Angel: I said inconceivable.

Trevor Mach: And I said it was implausable that you conceived!

Tack Angel: You did? Impossible!

Trevor, Tack, and Jeff: AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Void appeared on the roof, as if out of nowhere, staring across at Trevor. In a moment of perfect timing, a storm was seen brewing behind him. Way to nab that shot cameraman!

Trevor Mach: I knew you would show up!

Void: I'm in no mood to play your pathetic games. You want a face off you get one, but none of your games.

Trevor Mach: You're going to take the face off? Good! I've been wanting to know who you are under there.

Void: No, you really don't want to know.

Tack Angel: I kind of do too.

Void: Your inane childish antics only delay the inevitable. I will not be part of th-

*VROOM VROOM!*

An Undeth Monster Truck is dropped onto the roof by the crane. It says Undeth all over it, with pictures of Hood. Naturally, Hood is the driver.

Hood: You're going down Mach! You'll embrace Undeth after you lose out to our Monster Truck!

Void: .....

Hood: Yeah!

Void: .....

Hood: .....What?

Void: What do you think you're doing?

Hood: The Monster Truck Sumo thing....I thought....we're not doing that?

Void: .....What do you think, and what did I say about opening your mouth Hood?

Hood steps out of the truck and removes his mask to talk to Hood. Hey, it just so happens to be former EBW star Maurice!

Trevor, Tack, R-Truth, Jeff, and the entire Havok audience: MAURICE!

R-Truth: Wait who?

Maurice: Look, I've been down with following you ever since you got me off the streets, and I appreciate what you've done for me. I don't know if it's the brainwashing wearing off, or the fact that I found where you were hiding my paychecks, but I feel like I need to branch out more like you were going to let Maniac do.

Void: You've been told not to think or feel, only to Embrace Und-

Maurice: I got that, but the best way to show off what Undeth can do, is by winning this! Now trust me! I've got this! Void? Void? Where did you go?

Void had already left by the time Maurice had finished his spiel, which was even more mysterious, considering Maurice never took his eyes off Void. How do you miss that and keep talking?

Maurice: Don't worry Void. I'm going to make you proud for Undeth! Embrace it! YEAH!

Trevor Mach: This is going to be a piece of cake!

Jeff Andonuts: Alright, here are the rules. First truck pulled out of the circle loses. I guess that's just one rule, and you just heard it. Alright, here we go! On your mark!

Trevor Mach: I got this!

Jeff Andonuts: Get set!

Tack Angel: Good thing you know how to drive stick shift. I can't drive period.

Trevor Mach: Stick what now?

Jeff Andonuts: GO!

Trevor accidentally puts it in reverse and starts heading towards the side of the building, stopping just in time. However, Maurice was gunning it full steam ahead and plowed right into the side of the monster truck, sending Mach and Mr. Jitters into the water below.

Tack Angel: Hope he had airbags!

Maurice: Oh shit? Did I take it too fa-

The trucks were still connected by chain, and that chained dragged Maurice and the Undeth truck over the side as well.

Jeff Andonuts: ....Uh....uh...winner....Maurice? Someone get Degrees and some scuba gear quick!

Tack Angel: I'm on it!

Jeff Andonuts: Wait no you can't! You have a match right now. You and Trevor were supposed to take on the Eagleland Males in non-title action. You'll have to go it alone.

Tack Angel: Well that's just PRIME. *looks at camera*

Jeff Andonuts: ....What are you waiting for? Go now!

Tack Angel: Oh right! Save my buddy!

A handicap match would see the Oppai Admiral Tack Angel take on the Eagleland Males in a match both sides have wanted for awhile for different but oh so similar reasons. The Males were looking to get back at Tack for all the #bias against them and their former 80's ideals. Tack was just glad they didn't have mullets anymore, yet was horrified to see them wearing them again just for this match. They even put a wig on referee Penguin, just to psyche out the multi-time former world champion. Would such tactics work against one of the best in the sport? Would they be able to distract the greatest of all time with such cheap tricks. Apparently yes, because Tack tried to escape the ring before the sound of the bell, and had to fight a slowly losing battle against the Pentaverate team. Tack's kicks were nullified with attacks directed at his legs. One of his weaknesses over the years was forgetting all his other moves when he can't kick. Tack was able to laugh off a Flying Forearm Smash from Novus, but was somehow "nuked" when they came back with the DOUBLE Flying Forearm Smash. The combo move took him down, giving Novus the chance to roll Tack up, and Saxon the time to push his feet off the ropes. 1-2-3! The Eagleland Males won the match and have some momentum heading into a Tag Team Championship title match against the Bad Dudes.

Main event time, as Jackson Kain came out to the elation of the Renegades. He told them he had let the fame get to his head a little, and was going to continue to allow it to happen a little by taking a front row seat from a SWORD fan who had gone to get a soda. The Havok World Champion promptly paid him for the ticket with his autograph. A comical scene to set the stage for a big match. Four top Renegades would compete for the right to face Jackson Kain for the title at New Year Rising. Degrees, Razorblade, Amigo, and Kinniku Mike were all one step away from the chance at glory. Mike was hungover so naturally he was at a bit of a disadvantage. Degrees was late coming in after supposedly fishing two bodies out of the water behind Smart Brain Arena. This was more of a Razorblade vs. Amigo affair at the start, which was fine for the two of them. Kain really wanted Degrees in the match though, and ran to the back to get him out in time. Kain thought his best friend was the definite winner, being his New Wave rival and all, but it was not to be. The worn out good doctor got caught in the Olympic Slam by Amigo, who was promptly thrown out onto a barfing Kinniku Mike by Razorblade. Amigo tried to get Mike to throw him back in, but it was too late, as Razorblade lifted up Degrees for the Exploder Suplex and the pin. 1-2-3! Razorblade, the Ring of Thrones King, will be getting another title match, and this time it will be at New Year Rising.

END!

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, the guy who knew when Nerma was taking a lunch break of Wrestling, and I'm here with some big updates about upcoming events. As of now, we have 8 matches for New Year Rising at the Snowman Yeti Memorial Colosseum in Snowman. It's going to be cold, but the action will heat up the Renegades when we make our debut there. Thanks to Smart Brain, our growing Renegade fanbase, and the ratings of course, we're looking to go everywhere! A big change to this show is in the main event. Originally, Degrees and Razorblade were going to challenge Jackson Kain, but that obviously changed when they had the 4-Way #1 Contender match. Some are saying that the Pentaverate made a power play for Razorblade, allowing him to gamble for a chance to get another one-on-one shot at the title. Degrees wasn't very happy to hear about it, and has challenged Razorblade to a match on Xcite, a show that is going to see a very strong Lady Renegade presence this week. Word is that if Degrees wins, he gets his spot back in the match. We'll see how that works out. For now, here's the updated card for New Year Rising 2016, that you'll be able to see here and here only on the Havok Battle Network!

Smart Brain Arena - Xcite Ring

The fans were pouring in all day, mostly women for a change, as they came to see the Lady Renegades lead edition of Xcite. The Renegades were getting fired up, as the familiar theme of Hope Mach began to play. The injured Lady Renegades Champion came down to the ring, hearing the cheers and applause for the first time thanks to the hearing aid given to her by Degrees. She soaked it in before taking the mic.

Hope Mach: Hello Renegades! I see the crowd is a little different than usual tonight. I'm guessing you want to see some Lady Renegades duking it out right? That's what you get tonight, and I couldn't sit by and miss it, even if I haven't been cleared yet. I wanted Erica the INTERIM Champion to see me standing here with this title belt. This is the true title, the title I worked hard to earn. It's one thing to fight your opponents in the ring, but it's another thing to fight the companies that are supposed to showcase you. The hardships of SPARKLE, and the constant worries that you're never going to get your shot. These are the things that make holding this title that much sweeter. These are the things that make this the most important title in women's wrestling because of what it stands for. Despite everything that's happened to me, I'm still standing. Despite everything that has happened to women's wrestling in Eagleland in the last few years, it's still standing. We're here, and we're going to fight our asses off to prove we're the best, and to show you that you're never wasting your time with us. I can hear you all for the first time, but I always felt how you feeled. I could feel the vibrations, the change in the air. I could always feel that rush that you gave me. I won't ever forget that. I intend to be back in fighting shape for Victory Explosion X,and I promise I will walk in with the title, and I'll walk out with the title. Enjoy the show!

Hope Mach was on her way to the back when Tracy was suddenly thrown through the entrance, with Lady M's not too far behind. She fist bumped her adopted daughter as she passed, a symbol that no matter what you go through, everything can be mended. Tracy was going to need mending after the beating she was receiving by M's before they even got into the ring. She finally managed to turn things around, whipping M's into the steel steps and smashing up her shoulder with a chair. Feeling confident, she rolled M's into the ring to start the match properly, but M's lifted her up on the pin attempt before the ref could even begin a count. A white hot start to the show. Tracy's frustrations with M's lead to her eventually sucking up the fear and trading blows with the division's hardest hitter. She elbowed back in a flurry that she actually won out, with M's holding her elbow and falling right into the TikTak. 1-2-KICKOUT! Tracy set up M's for another TikTak, but she evaded and came back with a spinning elbow that took Tracy off her feet. The stumble allowed M's to hit the Sexy Strong Stunner, which sent Tracy rolling out of the ring. M's goaded her to get back in, but a distraught Tracy backed away up the ramp, forcing a count out, giving M's a win, but not the one she wanted. She left the ring and grabbed Tracy by the hair, pulling her back into the ring to hit another Sexy Strong Stunner. This brought out Erica, Valarie, and Kaie. M's stood her ground and tried to fight them all, but backup shortly arrived to help, with Kelly Steele, Iroha, Sunny Malibu, Kei Akiyama, and Kayla Sparkz running Elevation out of the ring. A great show of unity, and a great start to the show.

One segment seemed to roll into another, as Ripper Jane appeared from the crowd and set her sights on Iroha. The ring cleared as a referee ran back in to start the match. The youngster was blindsided, but tried to counter with traditional Edo strong style. Vicious kicks and strikes just seemed to drive Ripper Jane even more. She surprised Iroha with the old Kyo signature Hell Claw, which forced a quick and painful submission.

Smart Brain Arena - Interview Stage

Nerma was standing by with the Havok World Champion Jackson Kain

Nerma: Hello Renegades! It might be Ladies' Night, but we have one match that could shift the main event of the upcoming New Year Rising, and that's something we've got to see. That's something that the Havok World Champion needs to see. Am I right?

Jackson Kain: You ARE right! The champ has got to see if Degrees can make his way into the New Year Rising main event! I want him to kick Razorblade's ass! It's been really crazy around here with Undeth doing....whatever they do, and the Pentaverate giving me a bunch of shit I don't need. I'm the Havok World Champion. I want competition, the best matches, and the box office acclaim. We're talking blockbuster stuff here, but NOOOO instead I have to deal with Kishin Kid whining about his spot, and assembling the New Wave and Second Wave to stage a coup when it's my time. My time fellas, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TIME! Rude! I want to be the champion you all deserve, not the man fame keeps turning me into. I'll give you my best no matter what happens tonight. Singles match or 3-Way. At New Year Rising it's going to be LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! JACKSON! Also, could someone direct me to Kelly Steele? We need to talk about stuff. Personal stuff. None of your business stuff! JACKSON! YEAH!

The Lady Renegades were in tag action next, as the renewed 2K took on Kikuri and Thunderclaw. Even with Diana in their corner, the result was very much the same as their previous encounter on The Clash. Thunderclaw, the feather boa wearing monster woman was too into her own gimmick and got rolled up by Kei for the 1-2-3.

Smart Brain Arena - Hallway

Hope Mach is walking down the hall, when she hears the call of her adopted father Trevor Mach.

Trevor Mach: Hope!

Hope Mach: I'm still not used to being able to hear that, or anything for that matter.

Trevor Mach: Weird right? It's like that one time I thought I was blind, but I just hadn't taken the sleep mask off yet. Boy, that was a weird morning.

Hope Mach: How was my show opener?

Trevor Mach: Bitchin' Hope, simply bitchin'.

Hope Mach: Hehe thanks. I'm going to go watch the rest of the show. I'll see you later?

Trevor looked past his daughter and suddenly became very quiet.

Trevor Mach: ...Of course you will. Yeah, I've just got something to do, but I'll see you later.

Hope walked away, never noticing Void right behind her.

Void: Guess she can't hear everything yet.

Trevor Mach: Work in progress. You leave her alone.

Void: Oh, she's not my concern. This is about you and me.

Trevor Mach: Monster truck sumo not enough for you? Come back for more? That Maurice, he didn't make you too proud did he? What happened to your "Undeth".

Void: The word is sound, but the followers were less than worthy. It was only a matter of time before the word was lost on them. I don't need those followers anymore. Again, this is about you and me. It's about the end of everything. It's about making you finally embrace Undeth.

Trevor Mach: Not happening pal.

Void: I don't think I could force you. Force a belief isn't real belief. I need to show you what you've done, and what's going to happen to you.

Trevor Mach: You want a match bro? You got it. At New Year Rising you and I ca-

Void: I want more than that. I want to break you, and I'm going to do so. Look at this bag. I have your weakness inside of it.

Trevor Mach: ...Ok...what is it?

Void: You're a sociopath Mach. Maybe not in the most obvious ways like your Lady M's, but I can see it. I've always seen it. You're terrible to people, even your friends. You pretend to feel. You pretend to care. You really don't. You're the "Bad Man" in gimmick and in life. You're a horrible person.

Trevor Mach: ...Hurting my feelings? Is that what you got?

Void: No, it's what is inside the bag like I said. You don't really care about people, and you don't feel a thing, but in one aspect you care and feel more than most in a lifetime.

Void opened the bag, and a small brown and white Jack Russell Terrier came out. Trevor's eyes widened.

Trevor Mach: Barley?!

Void: Your dog. You care about animals so much, yet care for people so little. Why is that?

Trevor Mach: .....

Void: Speak Mach. You may not ever hurt an animal, but I'm not above it. Answer me.

Trevor Mach: ....People rarely deserve it.

Void: You're right. The world is full of horrible and awful people. Society is poisoned. It's absolutely poisoned.

Trevor Mach: ....It's poisoned.

Void: So you agree that the good of humanity is false, and the world must embrace Undeth? Answer me honestly, and no harm will come to your dog.

Trevor Mach: No. Humanity is not false. Hope is not false. She's the best of us. Tack Angel is the best friend a person could ever have, he's not false. M's has the strongest will. She's not false.

Void: Family. You think you care about family? Family will betray you....trust me.

Trevor Mach: ....They won't. Don't hurt my dog Void. If you do anything to my dog, I'll rip you apart. I'll-

Void: Such anger. Such vitriole. To think all I had to do was grab your dog. I'm not going to hurt him. In fact here he is. Go boy. I just wanted you to see that I can destroy you whenever I want. I can end you. I will end everything. Undeth or no, the world will be witness to your end. The two of us will meet in a Cage Match at New Year Rising. I'll expose you then.

Trevor Mach: I'm going to rip that mask off your face and expose YOU Void. You're on you son of a bitch.

Kaie has become the newest member of Elevation, the former champion betrayed Sunny Malibu in the process. The time for their grudge match had come. Footage before the match showed Sunny Malibu training hard in anticipation. The training didn't look to be enough. The stoic warrior Kaie beat Malibu from post to post, but the surfer chick fought back, screaming in Kaie's face and demanding she hit harder. A new side of Sunny, caught the warrior off guard, as Sunny laid into her. She lifted up Kaie for a modified Landslide called the Tidal Wave, and nearly got the pin, something that sent Kaie into a frezny. She laid into Sunny again and refused to stop, attacking the ref in the process and getting herself DQ'd. A still bleeding Iroha and 2K came to make the save once again. Solidarity from the Lady Renegades in regards to Elevation.

The Semi-Main Event saw Degrees take on Razorblade in a match to see if Degrees could get his spot back into the main event of New Year Rising. A hard hitting match saw the Pentaverate sent to the back, making it a fair one on one contest. Razorblade continues to excel and impress with his hard hitting yet athletic moveset, but the methodical and strategic Doctor targeted what appeared to be a nagging ring knee injury, using it to overcome the fearsome foe and hit the PhDDT for the pin and the win. Degrees is back in, but Razorblade got the last laugh, attacking after the match and clobbering Degrees with a chair. EMTs had to come out and check on him. They tried to help the limping Razorblade, but he fought them off and walked away on his own. The same couldn't be said for the winner of the match, who will face Razorblade and his best friend, Havok World Champion Jackson Kain at New Year Rising.

Main event time, as Kelly Steele battled Interim Lady Renegades Champion Erica in a one-on-one encounter. This was the best match of the card, with the Renegades firmly in Kelly Steele's corner. Her charisma and skill have won her the fans, but in this match she had to see if she could match up and maybe soon have a chance to win the title. Erica's experience helped in the early goings, but Kelly Steele started to win out in a show of force. She set up the champ for the Riffing Backbreaker, but Erica managed to escape and counter with a new finisher called the Elevator Killswitch to score the pin. The Interim Champion won it clean, but Kelly Steele managed to look good in defeat. An Elevation victory to close the show.

Smart Brain Arena - Parking Lot

Hope Mach is laid out with blooding pouring from her ear, the implant having been ripped out from the looks of things. Trevor Mach and Lady M's stood over her as EMTs and a limping Degrees rushed to the scene. The camera panned behind a corner to see a smiling Ripper Jane covered in blood, holding the device that finally gave Hope the ability to hear.

Lady M's is elbowing a heavy bag repeatedly as Kelly Steele walks in.

Kelly Steele: Bitchin! You're always hitting things aren't you?

Lady M's: My only regret is that I can't hit more things more often.

Kelly Steele: You rock chick!

Lady M's: I know. I know.

Kelly Steele: Well I didn't want to interrupt you, but I just wanted to slap this big wad of cash in your hand!

Lady M's: You mugged someone? I'm impressed.

Kelly Steele: That's our bonus from the sales of Real Steele.

Lady M's: Not bad. Bet we'll make more with Real Steele 2.

Kelly Steele: Real Steele 2? You want to do that again? It was...a little awkward.

Lady M's: For you maybe. *wink* Steele, you need to know something about me. I fight and I fuck, and with Trevor sometimes both at once. I don't care about what's awkward. I care about doing my thing, and fighting for what I want and what I've earned. We have a camera on us right now. Look over there. You think I care? People are going to look at me in a number of ways, and I'm not about to start caring about it. I am who I am, and I do what I do. You want to be the best, you need to have that attitude, and you need to have it right now.

Kelly Steele: Look, I'll do whatever it takes. I'm all about having fun, kicking ass, and rocking out. I'm no saint either.

Lady M's: Perfect. I'm hitting the showers. Want to join me?

Kelly Steele: But we haven't wrestled yet?

Lady M's: ...So?

Kelly Steele: ...Uh...what about Trevor?

Lady M's: You want me to go get him?

Kelly Steele: No, I mean you're coming onto me here and you've got Trevor in-

Lady M's: Kelly, that's what I was talking about. I'm screwing with you.

Kelly Steele: Oh...OH..Hahahaha.

Lady M's: A little bit.

Kelly Steele: Huh?

Lady M's: Trevor and I are unbreakable. Time's proven that. We're on the same page here really. He's a big fan of Real Steele.

Kelly Steele: He is? Are you still messing with me?

Lady M's: ...Heh....you figure it out.

Kelly Steele: Uh...

Lady M's: Relax, we've got a match tonight, and Real Steele has some Elevation ass to kick!

Kelly Steele: Now you're talking!

Smart Brain Arena - Renegades Locker Room

In the other locker room, Jackson Kain was taping up when Degrees approached him.

Degrees: How are you feeling?

Jackson Kain: I've been better. I've been so much better.

Degrees: I know, but I need to seriously know how your neck is.

Jackson Kain: It's holding up well enough.

Degrees: How is your pride holding up?

Jackson Kain: Now that could use some help. I was the man Degrees. I had become the best, like I had always wanted. I was living the dream, but between the wrestling, all the TV appearances, endorsement deals, and my over partying, I let it all fall apart on me. I wasn't even that bad, I was just not good enough to stop Razorblade from capitalizing.

Degrees: Hey, I'm guilty too. We wanted to prove who was the best between us, and then when Razorblade got the spot, I fought to get back into the match. That lead to where we are now. I'd rather I won or you had retained. We definitely got the worst outcome here.

Jackson Kain: No kidding. I'm wondering though, who do I have to Shadow Kick to get my rematch. They don't do the rematch clauses, so point my in the direction of my path to a rematch please.

Degrees: I hear they may put us both in the match against Razorblade at Victory Explosion X. That's just the rumor though.

Jackson Kain: We'd have a chance to make things right, give the Renegades a stellar match between you and me in the Victory Explosion X main event. We'd just have to take care of Razorblade. Then again, it would be 2-on-1, and the Pentaverate won't have that.

Degrees: It's not like we wouldn't be wrestling each other all out as well. I feel bad for you, but if given the shot, I'd go all out for the Havok World Championship.

Jackson Kain: I'd be pissed if you didn't. Guess we'll find out when we find out. It's supposed to be the biggest show in company history, I can't image they would wait very long in announcing a main event. Maybe I can redeem myself. I lost the title, I lost my shot with Kelly Steele, but I won't lose my pride Doc. I'm going to be the Havok World Champion again someday.

Degrees: Sure you will. It'll just be sometime after I'm done being Havok World Champion. That COULD take a while, I'm just saying.

Jackson Kain: Haha! Come on, let's go find Amigo.

Degrees walks away, with Jackson Kain then holding his neck and trying to get up slowly, trying to also hide a limp in the process.



Havok is back with Xcite, the legacy of EBW resurrected, and it's good timing too, as the celebration of the tenth anniversary is quickly approaching. Victory Explosion X in the Saturn Dome, being touted as the biggest show, and the celebration of the past, present, and future. Ness, Poo, and Paula were sitting at ringside once again, to watch the talent, specifically Clash Champion Bashin Dan and Benjamin, who would be challenging to face the legends at Victory Explosion X.

-Takumi Inui suffered his worst loss yet at NYR 2016, losing the Television Championship to Makoto Kusaka. Hoping to come back from the loss, he locked up with Erik Stone. Inui managed to keep his cool, with a signature flick of the wrist, he started into Erik Stone, a former Television Champion in his own right. Good opener, with Takumi rolling out of a Large Package attempt and coming back with the Crimson Smash and the pin. After the match, Makoto Kusaka came out to flaunt the new belt around his waste. As he approached, Yuji Kiba, the young Second Waver from Smart Brain stood in his way. A vision of everything Kusaka hated, he brawled with Kiba until security pulled them apart. Takumi stood questioning just who Yuji Kiba was, and why he continued to back him up.

-Kinniku Mike and Magnum PT took on the Clash Champion Bashin Dan and Benjamin in tag action next. A good chance for Dan and Benjamin to prove their worth to Ness, much like Slam Master Jam had in the big upset against Poo. Tonight, PT was on fire tonight though, narrowly escaping the Brave Clash with help from Kinniku Mike, and hitting the Mustache Ride on the youngster to get the pin and the win. After the match, PT grabbed a mic as he held up the Eagleland Flag. He talked about how Havok already had plenty of titles, so they shouldn't balk at the idea of being patriotic and bringing back the Eagleland Championship. The Renegades seemed to love the sudden idea by PT, and the win tonight may give Jeff Andonuts something to think about.

Smart Brain Arena - Jeff Andonuts' Office

Jeff Andonuts: No, I'm not going to think about it.

Tess: Why not? I think it's a great idea. Let PT have his title, that's a draw for all the Renegades who really pop when you mention where they are from. Besides, the last time the title was active, it helped PT gain his massive following in Edo.

Jeff Andonuts: Titles are supposed to be mean something. I'm trying to create a tier system here. The Havok World and World Tag Team Championships are S Rank. The Television and Royal Crown Championships are A Rank. The Trios Championships are B Rank. The Clash Championship is C Rank. See? It fits into a nice scientific pattern.

Tess: So make it another B Rank? Or C Rank for that matter. The point is that you'd have more drawing potential. The roster is definitely big enough.

Jeff Andonuts: Why do you care? Thought you only cared about the Lady Renegades.

Tess: Well...I don't really care, but the success of your brand is essential to my brand. Plus, you know....you're a friend of my son and all. Got to look out for you.

Jeff Andonuts: Yes...I see. *fixes glasses*

Noah Jennings: HEY!

Jeff Andonuts: Oh boy here we go.

Noah Jennings: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO-

As he's talking, Good News Gary and SWORD run him over as they head into the office.

Good News Gary: I've got some GOOD NEWS for you Andonuts! RAINS IS HERE! The rest of SWORD is too I suppose.

Jeff Andonuts: ....K?

Good News Gary: We haven't been used on the main brand like we deserve. When are you going to announce that Rains will be challenging for the Havok World Championship at Victory Explosion X.

Jeff Andonuts: The odds are more like that a proton and an electron will shift polarity and-

Tess: He means to say when hell freezes over.

Jeff Andonuts: Yeah that.

-Real Steele, the hot new tag team in wrestling and apparently gravure were up next against the Interim Lady Renegades Champion Erica and Tracy. This team has ignited the division, which is not making Erica too happy, as she has wanted the division to revolve entirely around Elevation. A hard hitting tag match, with Kelly Steele competing at her highest level yet. With Elevation banned from ringside, Real Steele were able to shine, with M's tackling her ex....special gal pal out of the ring while Kelly Steele was able to lift Erica up for her Shredding Backbreaker finisher. Erica got her foot on the ropes during the pin attempt, but in a karmic moment, M's was able to knock it off as the ref count the 1-2-3. Kelly Steele pinned the Interim Lady Renegades Champion for the win! Steele let loose with her guitar to the delight of the Renegades. A good win for Real Steele.

The feed suddenly cut out, replaced by the all too haunting logo of Fenrir. The feed then cut to Derek Mach, uncomfortably close to the camera.

Derek Mach: Are we having fun? I like having fun too you know? Might not have seen much of that from me, but it was all about playing the part. Fooling the masses. I wanted you all to come to the truth about life willingly, but it looks like I'm going to have to drag you all there kicking and screaming. That's fun to me. That's more fun to me than you can imagine. I shudder at the violence, but it's a shudder of joy. I've been waiting for this. Void as a mask served his purpose. I told you all about how we needed to take the real masks off, so here we are. 10 Years of false idols. I will tear you all down. I'm going to start with you cousin. You've been a clown for too long. You wasted your potential. You could have been the Malice Rider, and now you're just a joke.

Trevor Mach slowly appears behind Derek Mach.

Trevor Mach: The sweet kiss of vengeance in the hands of the Bad Man at last... NOOGIE!

Derek Mach: Get off me! Well well well, looks like you're already a broken man.

Trevor Mach: I've been besmirched! This besmirchment will not stand! Derek, you should've stayed in space! I'm going to pull myself together....any day now....and when I do...you and Fenrir...are going dooooown!

Derek Mach: Look at you continuing to clown around. Don't you know what I'm capable of? Haven't you seen what I can do?

Trevor Mach: Sorry, I use humor to deflect my insecurities. Plus, I’m hilarious.

Derek Mach: My reveal really did break you? How did you even get down here anyways?

Trevor Mach: Well, I found Steve laid out with his camera stolen, and I followed the trail of blood. Wasn't that hard really.

Derek Mach: You and I are blood, and that's the only reason I haven't finished you yet, but that's coming.

Trevor Mach: Why wait?

Derek Mach: I'm a patient man, I've waited this long.

Trevor Mach: I'm VERY impatient, so let's not and say we did.

Derek Mach: What I have planned is too large for your simple and broken mind. I want you to see it. I want you to see me wipe out this entire roster. Maybe then I'll let you die. Until then....I'm going to have to ask you to leave....cousin. *snap*

Out of the shadows, Poison Jam, Dogma Mask, Ripper Jane, and the Demon emerged and surrounded Trevor.

Trevor Mach: Okay, Campers! Everyone line up single file... it's polka time!

Trevor attacked as was swarmed. The camera fell to the ground, leaving only static. Suddenly another voice was heard, as he seemed to be assisting Trevor. The camera's picture was restored long enough to see pair of roller blades rolling by. The Renegades popped big time, as they knew who that was, and what this could mean.

-6-Man Tag Team action was next, as the 87's would face off against Fenrir. A bloody Trevor Mach limped his way onto the stage with Retro Hippie and Ishihiro Tomo. Mach and Hippie pointed to the entrance, as Grind, complete in his old Jet Set costume rolled onto the stage and performed a rolling flip as pyro shot off. Grind was back to his old attitude, which was welcomed by the Renegades in the crowd. He would be the third man in the fight against Fenrir. For their team they unleashed the Demon to join Poison Jam and Dogma Mask. An all out war of a match, the finish came when Camilo Ortega and Dragon Shiryu rushed out to stop a rampaging Demon, who had left the match to attack the crowd. This allowed Mach to hit the Macha Ye on Jam, just as Grind was bouncing off the ropes to hit the Rolling SSP. Grind then went up and over on Dogma as Mach rolled up Jam for the 1-2-3! The 87's are reunited, and managed to get the win over Fenrir in this first encounter. However, with the Demon losing focus and Derek Mach not being present, who knows what will happen in future exchanges against Fenrir.

-In singles action, Tack Angel was hoping to bounce back from his loss to Kishin Kid and loss of the tag titles to the Eagleland Males by taking on Maniac, who has been on an impressive roll. The Pentaverate were not at ringside for most of the match, but when push came to shove, and Tack escaped the Sliced Bread #2 and hit one his skull ringing high kicks, it brought out Kishin and the Eagleland Males. Tack escaped the ring as he took the DQ win, but he didn't leave just yet.

Tack Angel: Listen to me Kishin Kid....you...you little shit!

Kishin Kid: Whoa!

Saxon: I think he's mad guys. You don't see that often.

Novus: It's like staring into a eclipse. I'm not supposed to witness it, but I can't look away.

Tack Angel: Shut up! I'm sick and tired of trying to pander to you little brats! I tried my best, but it's not working out. Saxon and Novus...YOU SUCK! You suck sooooo much! Your mullets are stupid and you're wearing those jeans so tight I can see what religion you are. Ever hear of a damn cup! Kishin Kid, I have done everything I can for you. We've been through this before, and I've decided to wash my hands of it, but there is one thing ONE THING that keeps me coming back to this. The Angel Driver, you're getting the name wrong and you're doing it wrong! You suck at it! That's my move! Quit doing it!

Kishin Kid: What? You're worried about your dumb move? Shouldn't you be planning on retiring after Victory Explosion X? This is the end coming up for you isn't it?

Tack Angel: You think so? Maybe it is. Maybe it's the start of the NEXT 10 YEARS! That's for me to know and you to.....know when I announce the decision I guess. I'm done trying to be your mentor or your friend. You can have your legacy, but leave mine alone.

Kishin Kid: Heh...I don't think so.

Tack Angel: Well now you're just being a dick, and I don't like that sort of thing.

Kishin Kid: What do you intend to do about it?

Tack Angel: I propose a match. You and me will settle this at Victory Explosion X. If I win, you are banned from using ANY of my moves. Also, you won't be allowed to call yourself the "New Epic" anymore. You've been using it too long for you to be "New" anymore, and I just think it's dumb in general.

Kishin Kid: Fine! I'll bite, what happens WHEN I win?

Tack Angel: I'll retire.

Kishin Kid: You have to do one better than that Tackman. You have to admit to the whole world that I am better than you.

Tack Angel: So do we have a match?

Kishin Kid: I will see you at Victory Explosion X Tack, and that will be the LAST TIME that I see you.

-Main event time, as Jackson Kain, Degrees, and Amigo battled Havok World Tag Team Champions Eagleland Males and new Havok World Champion Razorblade in 6-Man Tag action. Razorblade was still salty about his loss on Chaos TV! after just winning the title, and that make him very unstable and combustible in this encounter. Still, he's champ for a reason, as he did most of the heavy lifting in the early goings on the match, running through his opponents. Amigo was the first to stop his momentum, and the match centered around them. Late in the match, Razorblade and Amigo were in the ring as the other Renegades battled on the outside. Razorblade had Amigo set up for the Piledriver, looking to end him then and there. Jackson Kain was quick to make the save and rolled into the ring to hit the Shadow Kick. The kick seemed to severely injure Kain as he fell to the mat, but it gave Amigo the momentum to escape and lay out the champ with a suplex. He then lifted the man from the frozen north up for the Olympic Slam and went for the pin. 1-2-3! Amigo beats the Havok World Champion! The champ suffers his second loss in a row after winning the title, and Amigo propels himself into serious title contention. Degrees and Amigo helped Kain to the back. They all looked at each other wondering just who would face Razorblade at VEX. Razorblade lay on the mat clutching the Havok World Championship, gritting his teeth over yet another loss. Not the legacy the Pentaverate was hoping to create after New Year Rising that's for sure.

The Angel Residence - Afternoon

Tack Angel has been pacing back and forth in front of his bathroom door for several minutes.

Tack Angel: Amy? Amy please, this has to happen. It can't be stopped and it can't be held back. When I've got to go I've got to go, and no force of nature or act of God can stop it! I had WAY too bran muffins this morning! Please! Open the-

Amy Angel: Tack, would you quiet down! I'm trying to take a nap!

Tack Angel: Wait...if you're in there, then who is-

As Tack is trying to put the pieces together, the door opens. Trevor Mach emerges in footie pajamas with cartoon dog slippers, and serious bed head, with an empty bowl, and an empty box of Trix Cereal.

Trevor Mach: Tackleton, I would've answered you, but I didn't feel like it.

Tack Angel: Trevor?! What the hell man? What's happened to you? What were you doing in my bathroom?

Amy Angel: Trevor always eats cereal in our bathroom when he's contemplating.

Tack Angel: He does? What are you contemplating buddy?

Trevor Mach: It's the music Tack. I can't hear the music anymore.

Tack Angel: Did your iphone die? You gotta charge those things you silly goose.

Trevor Mach: No, I mean the music in my head. The music that's always playing.

Tack Angel: Is this part of your whole "we're not real and merely a work of fiction" theory, cause it's pretty far fetched. Although, I've been wondering about the whole 4th wall thing. It would just seem weird though for a building to have more than 3 walls to me.

Trevor Mach: My flow Tack, I lost my flow. Had to get my head back in order. I know exactly what I'm going to do to fix things.

Tack Angel: What would that be?

Trevor Mach: I'd tell you, but the cameras are on, and I want to save it for Chaos TV! No way I'm going to tell you!

Tack Angel: Aw come on!

Trevor Mach: ...Alright I'll tell you. I'm going to call out Derek!

Tack Angel: And?

Trevor Mach: And I'm gonna beat him up!

Tack Angel: .....

Trevor Mach: Real bad!

Tack Angel: ....Great. I don't think that's such a good idea though.

Trevor Mach: Why not?

Tack Angel: You're not dealing with a cult leader anymore. You're dealing with a killer.

Tack and Trevor: ?Killer! Killer! Oooo he's a killer!?

Amy Angel: What the hell was that?

Tack Angel: It's a pal thing. Listen Trevor, I think you might want to not put yourself in a situation where Derek has the upper hand. You were lucky Grind was there to help you on Xcite. You're not exactly in a focused frame of mine these days.

Trevor Mach: I think I can do it! I'm totally focused! Don't you agree Dog Slippers?

Tack Angel: What?

Trevor Mach: You know what they say about a man who asks questions to his dog slippers don't you? *instant sobbing* HE'S GONE MAAAAD!

Amy Angel: Trevor, calm down. I have an idea for you. Come here. *whisper whisper*

Trevor Mach: Pstpstpstpstpstpst.

Amy Angel: What are you doing?

Trevor Mach: Making it look like I'm whispering back to you. Amy, that's a brilliant idea! I'm off to talk to Jeff! Amy, out of Tack's numerous NUMEROUS lovers with who he may or may not have fathered children, you're my favorite. Which is great cause I used to think you were a massive bitch! Later guys!

Tack Angel: Numerous?! CHILDREN!? What?! What?! Wait! I-I have NO IDEA what he's talking about! Wait, what did you tell him?

Amy Angel: Only what he needed to hear. He's got to do something to put his mental house back in order, and this may be the only way. Eating all of your Trix certainly wasn't helping.

Tack Angel: My Trix?! ALL OF MY TRIX!? TRIX, COME BAAAAAACK!

Smart Brain Arena - Jeff Andonuts Office

Jeff is currently having yet another Smart Brain discussion with Lady M's after Jeff has announced that a new graduate of Smart Brain Academy will be debuting on Chaos TV!

Lady M's: That's garbage! It's garbage Jeff! Have I mentioned that it's garbage?!

Jeff Andonuts: Don't you have SEVERAL other things on your plate?

Lady M's: Smart Lady and her evil nefariousness, that's what's on my plate, the plate of VENGEANCE, but this time...this time it's going to be served HOT!

Jeff Andonuts: I have no idea what you're talking about? What did she do to you? You know she's not in charge right?

Lady M's: Then WHO IS in charge?

Jeff Andonuts: ....You know...I have no idea.

Lady M's: AH! AH! AH! You don't know?!

Jeff Andonuts: I-

Yuji Kiba: The Chairman keeps to himself.

Jeff Andonuts: Eh? Yuji? Did I call for you?

Yuji Kiba: I'm sorry, I-I don't mean to overstep here, but I overheard the conversation. The company is quite private, but they have good intentions Miss M's. They gave me a new start. They gave me a second chance.

Trevor Mach: *POOF!* Ooo, are we about to get an origin story? I'm in. Who wants popcorn?

Lady M's: Right here.

Yuji Kiba: Back home in Edo, I was in a car crash. It killed my parents, and it left me in a coma for two years. When I finally recovered, I found out that my uncle had sold my parent's company and forsaken me. My cousin, he stole my girlfriend away from me. I....I lost control. Things got ugly. I left, and found my way to Smart Brain, a company that gave me a new mission in life, and a second chance. Though....I don't always agree with the Smart Brain mission statement, I'll still do what I came here to do.

Trevor Mach: ...Riveting. *POOF!*

Jeff Andonuts: *fixes glasses* I must get a scientific explanation for the poofing!

Lady M's: Kiba, your story, it....it's soap opera tier. I'm not buying it.

Jeff Andonuts: No, that actually all happened.

Lady M's: I'm not buying that Smart Brain is a "good company" and when I figure it all out, I'm going to sooooooo be like "I TOLD YOU SO!" *POOF!*

Jeff Andonuts: Wait, now she can do it?

Yuji Kiba: .....Smart Brain will change the world, whether we agree with everything they do or not. You should either join them, or stay out of the way.

Jeff Andonuts: Sounds ominous, but all I've seen is the good they have done for us. What side are you on by the way? Joining or staying out of the way?

Yuji Kiba: ...I'm just doing my job.

Jeff Andonuts: What about Takumi Inui? Where does he stand?

Yuji Kiba: I don't think he knows. I hope he finds his truth someday.

Takumi Inui, who was listening from the other side of the door, slowly walks away.

Kinniku Mike's Bachelor Pad

Amigo looks up to see a flashing pink neon sign blinking "House of Strong Tits", as he approaches and knocks on the door.

Kinniku Mike: Amigo! You made it!

Amigo: Nice sign.

Kinniku Mike: You never see that before?

Amigo: This is the first time you've invited me over. Why does no one invite me over? I'm a nice enough guy.

Kinniku Mike: No offense Amigo, but most of my visitors have a great deal more silicone in them.

Amigo: Right.

Amigo is invited in, as he walks in he sees a room full of portraits of Mike and his various "lady friends". On the couch he sees someone sleeping.

Amigo: Who is that?

Kinniku Mike: Maurice. He's poor again now.

Amigo: He needs to make better financial investments. So, did you invite me over to help you get him out of here?

Kinniku Mike: No man, the strong tits can make him leave, but that's not the point. I need to talk to you about this business with Razorblade.

Amigo: What about it?

Kinniku Mike: You've got his number. You've pinned the Havok World Champion. You've proven that the SURGE School is still the best school. I'm proud of you Amigo.

Amigo: ...Do you need a loan yourself? We make the same-

Kinniku Mike: No man, I want you to put aside your grudge. Instead of making his life a living hell, use the wins to get yourself into the main event of Victory Explosion X.

Amigo: ....I told you the title was important to me. I-

Kinniku Mike: You haven't talked to Jeff. You haven't played that card at all. I know when you lost the title it messed you up, it's done the same to me before. You need to focus and make your move.

Amigo: Since when do you care? Honestly, it's all you talk about lately. Don't you have some indecent things to do to some young women?

Kinniku Mike: That was five minutes ago and five minutes from now. Right now, it's about doing the right thing and getting my friend to step up into the position he deserves to be in. Main event that bitch Amigo!

Amigo: You think I'm afraid of what could happen? I'm....well...alright maybe I'm shaken by the loss, and maybe I never quite got over it. Still, the World Warrior will keep fighting, and keep fighting, and keep fighting, and KEEP FIGHTING, AND I'M NEVER GOING TO STOP!

Maurice: Hey...I'm sleeping over here!

Amigo: You made your point Mike. I'll do it. On Chaos TV! I take on Degrees. I'll use THAT match to make my case. The SURGE Generation will have a member in the main event.

Kinniku Mike: UUUUUuuu! Now we're-

Maurice: Oh man...I feel asleep on my chimichanga...*nom nom* It's still good though....it's still good.

Club Saturn

Kelly Steele has just finished playing a set at Club Saturn. As the Saturns give her a round of BoINgS she heads to the back. Inside of her dressing room waiting is Tracy.

Kelly Steele: The hell are you doing here?

Tracy: Quite a show. You are the real deal after all.

Kelly Steele: Your endorsement means "everything" to me. No "really"....could you get out now?

Tracy: I think you might want to hear what I have to say. *closes door* I want to make you an offer, an offer that you can't refuse.

Kelly Steele: You'd be surprised at how many offers I can refuse. Your ex/my tag partner for example. She's made a proposition or two I've turned down.

Tracy: Ha! She's just playing around with you. She takes what she wants from people like you and that asshole Mach, but deep down she knows she's still in love with me. She always will be.

Kelly Steele: That's not my problem. She says that she and Mach are unbreakable, so I think you might want to take the hint.

Tracy: Do you really think you can believe anything she says? She's always been a liar, and she always will be. He identity coming into wrestling was a lie, her marriage was a lie, and now she's lying to herself about us.

Kelly Steele: I DON'T CARE!

Tracy: She's not the only one who has taken a liking to you though. *unzips part of her top*

Kelly Steele: WHAT THE HELL! Why are all coming onto me!? I'm here to wrestle not-

Tracy: Relax! *pulls an enveloped out of her top* I was just getting this!

Kelly Steele: ....Oh....right.

Tracy: Erica wants you in Elevation. More money, and a place of power where you can REALLY get noticed. You'll solidify a legacy with us.

Kelly Steele: ...I feel like you're wanting to screw me in an entirely different way now. I'm going to pass.

Tracy: That envelope is full of money for you. It's just the start. Think about it. Just think about it.

Kelly Steele: .....

Trevor Mach's Apartment

Trevor Mach slowly opens the door to his room and pokes his head out to the living room to see Tack Angel ranting and raving to a smiling Lady M's.

Tack Angel: Butts! Darn! Fart! Poop!

Lady M's: I know you can do better than that Tack! Step it the fuck up!

Tack Angel; *gasp*

Lady M's: Say it Tack! Let it all out!

Trevor Mach: ....So I was just laying in my race car bed, playing with my action figures, when I heard....whatever this is. So I have to ask....whatcha doin'?

Tack Angel: Oh, I'm sorry Trevor I just-race car bed?

Trevor Mach: It's manly and awesome!

Tack Angel: You're 33.

Trevor Mach: Age, is just a state of mind!

Lady M's: You're making me sound like a lewd pedophile then.

Tack Angel: Anyways Trevor, I'm sorry but I asked Tali to help me talk trash and get over my stigma with bad language.

Trevor Mach: I've heard you cuss plenty of times!

Tack Angel: You didn't see me cry and vomit in the shower after every time that I do though.

Trevor Mach: Actually I did. You were blocking the door so I hid behind the corner, closed my eyes, and tried to find my happy place. Since I don't have one of those, I just borrowed yours.

Tack Angel: *gasp* That explains why everything was moved around! You burned down my happy meadow!

Trevor Mach: I'm going to add that to the resume. Burner of Happy Meadows.

Lady M's: Tack, if you don't get refocused and talk the harshest trash that has ever spewed out your boy scout mouth, I WILL toss you out of the window.

Tack Angel: SHIT!

Lady M's: Good start!

Tack Angel: Uh...I'm gonna...tear you a new ass.

Lady M's: Have to do better than that!

Tack Angel: And then I'll sew up your old ass.

Lady M's: ....

Trevor Mach: Oh this is getting fun!

Lady M's: Come on Tack! Release the darkness!

Tack Angel: ...I'm gonna punch you in the fuck! I'm going to make your my bitches' bitch! You're going to be my grand-bitch!

Trevor Mach: Nice!

Tack Angel: You're about to get 20 likes on Instafuck! I'm going to put a hashtag on your ass and see how many hits it gets!

Lady M's: Creative. Colorful metaphors. Impressive.

Tack Angel: Uh....uh....*vomits* oh no....uh...*vomits* I've gotta go to bathroom! Out of my way!

Trevor Mach: Why bother? The floor is COVERED in Tack Tofu right now. It reeks of diet soda in here now. This is looks like fuel for a Prius quite frankly.

Lady M's: He's not a good trash talker. That's for sure. He thinks since all I do is cuss that cussing is what it takes.

Trevor Mach: He prefers his trash talking to be funny! Like this "Do you have your Costco Card, because you're about to get my knee in bulk." You know? Stuff like that?

Tack Angel: *in the bathroom* You're better than this Tack! You're better than- *vomits*

Lady M's: That was a good one. You seem to be a lot more....controlled today by the way.

Trevor Mach: Well for one, I know how I'm going to handle Derek, and two, our new action figures came in today!

Lady M's: Bitchin'! Let me see!

Trevor Mach: Look, here is mine and here is yours!

Lady M's: They are always so good at getting my proportions down.

Trevor Mach: Well that's because I gave the measurements.

Lady M's: Which explains why you measured my ass. Look, it even comes with a broken beer bottle. The kids will love the accuracy.

Trevor Mach: I'm totally about to change my look so they have to make yet another action figure of me. I wonder if anyone realizes that's the main reason I do it yet?

Lady M's: You love being a jerk, and that gets me hot.

Trevor Mach: We're really messed up! Give me sugar baby!

Tack Angel emerges from the bathroom to see Trevor and Lady M's kissing. He looks down to see they also have their action figures performing lewd actions.

Tack Angel: ....I think I'm going to go to church.

The Angel Residence

Tack is sitting alone in the living room. As the clock loudly ticks, he continues to stare at the wall, until Amy and Christina arrive.

Amy Angel: Tack? We're home? Tack?

Tack Angel: Yeah, I'm here.

Amy Angel: Whoa! You scared me sitting in the dark like that? What...what have you been up to?

Tack Angel: ...I learned that I can count all my teeth with my tongue. It's been an eventful day, may need a nap soon.

Amy Angel: Tack, you're acting funny...again. It seems like you had a shot of confidence for a while. You did that silly regeneration thing and changed again, but somehow you always seem to revert to...uh..."default settings".

Tack Angel: Can I let you in on a little secret?

Amy Angel: Of course.

Tack Angel: This last time I didn't even "regenerate". I just pretended to, held up some sparklers, and messed with my hair and facial hair a bit. It's easy for me, having Follicle Displacia and all.

Amy Angel: Ah yes, Wooly Willy Disorder. Why did you do it?

Tack Angel: Because, I've lost my edge honey.

Amy Angel: Tack...you've always been about as edgy as a butter knife.

Tack Angel: So....I have several edges that aren't that sharp?

Amy Angel: Bad example. Look, I know what this is, and you don't have to prove anything to Kishin Kid.

Tack Angel: No, it's not that. I DON'T have anything to prove to him, nor do I care to. I just don't care, and THAT'S the problem.

Amy Angel: Why don't you care? Are you tired of wrestling?

Tack Angel: No, I'm not, but I'm going to be retiring after Victory Explosion X. That's really depressing me, and as a result, I've been struggling to care.

Amy Angel: You know, you could always NOT retire right?

Tack Angel: No, I absolutely have to.

Amy Angel: Why?

Tack Angel: Because if I don't, Trevor would be right about something.

Amy Angel: What?

Tack Angel: Trevor would be right, that I wouldn't want to retire after the pact we made. I....I just can't have that.

Amy Angel: Why is that? He's been right before.

Tack Angel: And the consequences are always too much too much for the world to handle. No, the best thing I can do is always stand firm on a decision, and never ever admit that he might have a good point.

Amy Angel: ...That seems a little mean doesn't it?

Tack Angel: It's always for the good of the world. THE GOOD OF THE WORLD WIFE!

Amy Angel: I think you're just coming up with literally any reason here, so you can lie to yourself. You care about wrestling, and you don't want to retire. You're feeling the old rush coming back, and you're realizing that 31 isn't that old at all. You're realizing that your family isn't going to stop you from following your dreams either, so you put yourself in a match where you may be forced to retire rather than admit that you love wrestling this much.

Tack Angel: ....No...it's the Trevor thing.

Amy Angel: TACK!

Tack Angel: Alright fine! Amy, I don't want to retire.

Highways of Saturn City - Night

A lone figure is seen moving along the highway, the wind blowing through his hair, and the street lights reflecting on the aviator shades he shouldn't be wearing, because it's dark and all.

Trevor Mach: *internal monologue said externally* Where did it all go so wrong? This world, this time, this city, it's not like it used to be. The people, are not like they used to be. We're one micro-aggression away from all driving a Prius. This isn't Hell, it's Saturn City, though I can't imagine Hell being much worse. Voices, crying out in the night "save me", and I tell them, "I can't because I forgot to set my DVR, and my Iphone battery is about to d-

At that moment, the iphone falls out of his pocket and smashes under the tires beneath him.

Trevor Mach: *internal monologue said externally* Shit. I tell them..."I would, but I have to go get a new Iphone". Maybe Derek Mach was right? Maybe chaos would cleanse the world. It used to all be some simple. Back in the day, I was just a simple wizard for some reason, fighting aliens and-wait....it was never simple...what the hell was I thinking? Wrestling, I love it, but it's getting so exhausting. The wars, the politics, having to wake up before 2pm, that part bothers me the most. I'll fight you Derek, whether you are right or not. I'll do it for my daughter Hope. I'll do it for Dougie, who you put in the hospital yet again. I'll do it for Tali, because that whole thing is hot and heavy again. Yes, I'll even do it for you...Tack. I-

*honk honk*

Driver behind Trevor: HEY! MOVE THAT SCOOTER MORON!

As it turns out, Trevor's now driving a significant downgrade from his old chopper.

Trevor Mach: It's a motorbike, and it's totally gas efficient asshole! Stupid wall getting in the way of my chopper!

Club Saturn - Pentaverate Party Night

The Mr. Saturns have been kicked out of their own club, so that the Pentaverate could have their own party night, with beer and babes as far as the eye can see. On the inside, the group of five is having great time, except for the new Havok World Champion Razorblade.

Kishin Kid: Dude! Razorblade! You have GOT to get over here! Those three ladies over there have been eye humping you all night!

Razorblade: I've got other things on my mind!

Kishin Kid: Like what?

Razorblade: AMIGO!

Kishin Kid: Oh.

Razorblade: No, that came out wrong.

Kishin Kid: You sure?

Razorblade: I'm the Havok World Champion! Look how fast I rose to the top, and yet I lose out in my first two matches after winning the title!

Kishin Kid: I'd like to point out that you got where you are because I let you, so if you lost those matches, it means I lost too.

Razorblade: Rather than break this bottle over your head, I'm going to assume that was your absolute best attempt at being considerate.

Kishin Kid: ...It's all I got.

Razorblade: I don't need it. I don't need kindness, consideration, or anything other than retribution.

Kishin Kid: Sounds good to me. What do you suggest?

Maniac: I say, we kill them all.

Kishin Kid: I like that you're pitching in Maniac, but it's just a tad bit too far....just a tad.

Razorblade: Or maybe not.

Kishin Kid: Eh?

Smart Brain Arena - Rafters

From the rafters, Trevor Mach can be seen hanging none other than Mr. Gouji over the rail.

Mr. Gouji: You mad man! You son of a bitch! Let me down!

Trevor Mach: Careful Gouji bro, you don't want to get on my bad side right now.

Mr. Gouji: I'll kill you!

Trevor Mach: Whoa ho ho! Careful with the verbage my man, you're giving me ideas! *turns to camera* Well hello there! You're probably wondering why I've got this jackass hanging on for dear life waaaay up here! Well see, he's going to tell me where Derek is lurking, because I can't find him nor do I have the time to go looking! Make it easy on me Gouji! Tell me where he's hiding!

Mr. Gouji: You think he's hiding from you? That's hilarious!

Trevor Mach: Oh yeah, it's a real barn burner. Say, I think I'm going to drop you now!

Mr. Gouji: That's murder!

Trevor Mach: You MIGHT live, then it's only ATTEMPTED murder!

Mr. Gouji: You're not capable of it!

Trevor Mach: HAHAHA! Wanna find out?! *looks at the camera* Am I going to do it? What do you think?

Producer Steve: Uh-I-

Trevor Mach: Not asking YOU STEVE! OH MY HAND CRAMP!

Mr. Gouji: Alright! I'll tell! He's at your house!

Trevor Mach: Damn, the last place I would look!

Mr. Gouji: Why are you mad?! I told you what you wanted to know!

Trevor Mach: Because, he's literally in the last place I would look! I hate that cliche! Wait, here's a cliche for you. What goes up must come down! How's that for cliche? Eh? *drops Gouji*

Mr. Gouji: AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Mr. Gouji is revealed to be tied to bungie cord. He falls several feet before snapping back up and hurling all over the ring below.

Trevor Mach: Hehe...*looks at camera* He thought I was going to murder him. Well, screw this banana stand, I'm apparently going home! BOOSH

Smart Brain Arena - Backstage

A large, swarthy man enters the arena. With a glint of light hitting his monocle, the well dressed man looks around, admiring the arena, until he is stopped by Havok HOO Jeff Andonuts.

Jeff Andonuts: Um, excuse me sir, you're not supposed to be back here. This is a closed area for Renegades and Lady Renegades only.

?: Indeed! *flex flex flex* I am the man for the job! I am the newest member of your roster. The first of the third you called it! Seems to me, I should be refered to as the first of the first! *flex* I am the Gentleman of Light after all!

Jeff Andonuts: Oh! So you're-

?: Yes, Hildebrand...Hildebrand Manderville at your service! *flex*

Jeff Andonuts: Yes, nice suit, and monocle, and flexing. Look, you're going to be the first of the Third Wave, and I need you for that....but that's The Clash....this is Chaos TV!

Hildebrand: A man such as myself prefers to go straight to the top!

Jeff Andonuts: That nice....but that's not going to happen.

Hildebrand: Very well! I shall begin at the bottom and quickly rise to become the face of your company! *flex flex flex flex*

Jeff Andonuts: .....Yeah that's great. Security!

Smart Brain Arena - Renegades Locker Room

Tack Angel and Amigo are both sitting in the locker room. Amigo is wrapping his wrists while Tack is staring up at the ceiling.

Amigo: ....Tack, shouldn't you be getting ready with the other 87's?

Tack Angel: It smells like Tostadas and shame over there.

Amigo: Well, that's probably the Weekend Wrecking Crew.

Tack Angel: The 87's and the Crew together....that would be a scary thought.

Amigo: What are you even looking at?

Tack Angel: Oh you know when people do interviews they are always looking up and to the left or right? I'm just trying to see what's up there. Turns out it was nothing.

Amigo: Right.

Tack Angel: Say Amigo, do you think somewhere in Eagleland they have town named Samples?

Amigo: Eh?

Tack Angel: And in that town, they have sign that says "You're in Samples".

Amigo: .....

Trevor Mach emerges from his locker, startling both.

Trevor Mach: I got it! Funny joke Tackerjack!

Tack Angel: What were you doing in-

Trevor Mach: I needed my jacket, and yes that is a gun in my pocket, but I'm very happy to see my friends. I'm going to go have a heart to heart with Derek. TODOODLES!

Tack Angel: Trevor, are you really going to go do this?

Trevor Mach: Of course I am. You know me, never give up, never surrender, go over when possible, but not too much to anger the smarks.

Amigo: What?

Trevor Mach: The point is someday I want kids to argue who would win, me or Superman? Now of course Superman would win, but kids are stupid and don't know any better!

Tack Angel: Kids aren't stupid!

Trevor Mach: Yeah, but I am, so I gotta go.

Tack Angel: Be careful buddy.

Trevor Mach: ...Thanks man...*pokes Tack's nose* Boop!

Tack Angel: Yes yes....boop...you should probably go.

Amigo: ...This is some silly stuff. I'm going to go wrestle. Just saying.

Tack Angel: Yes, of course. Wrestling. That's what we do. That's what I'm distracting myself from...so I won't think about losing it.



The pathway resembling a road to Victory Explosion X continues, with a packed crowd and a huge main event, with the Lady Renegades Championship being unified, as Hope Mach returned to take on Erica. Long running sentence! Havok continues to celebrate 10 years of EBW to Havok, with another montage, before showing Ness, Poo, and Paula in the audience once again. As they got up and waved to the Renegades, Kishin Kid pushed by. He, lead the Pentaverate out to pick a fight with Ness and Poo, until security came to break things up. Razorblade, the Havok World Champion was noticeably missing. With security out there, it was apparently part of a plan, as the cameras cut back to see the champ attacking Degrees, Amigo, and Jackson Kain. Kain took a piledriver to the hard floor before security made it back to stop him.

The opening contest would see Takumi Inui and Yuji Kiba teaming up to take on Havok Television Champion Makoto Musaka and a mystery partner. The partner was introduced by Smart Lady. She cued up an image on the screen of a man from Edo. Wearing a black leather jacket and a black spiked band around his neck. He flicked a match alight with his chin as he flexed and revealed a cactus tattoo. The newest Smart Brain graduate, Akai. Makoto Kusaka was not happy at all about the addition, but considered working together with this Akai to deal a blow to Takumi and Yuji Kiba. Akai was quite abbrasive and aggressive, hiding a lot of malice behind a stern face, so much like a cactus I guess....or not....I don't know. The point is, the Renegades actually popped for Kusaka when he belted his own partner in the mouth. The match ended in a DQ when he attacked the ref of the way to his belt, and out of the ring. Takumi and Kiba celebrated the win, but Akai was far from done. Rather than focusing on the betrayal, he continued to attack Takumi, which lead to a continuing busy night for security. Hope they don't expect overtime pay.

The next match saw Kelly Steele taking on Kaie in singles action. A big brawl that saw Elevation try to get involved, but Sunny Malibu fought them off with her surfboard, which looked more awkward then I bet she was hoping for. Keeping Elevation back helped Kelly to avoid the Celtic Hand Grenade and come back with the Shredding Backbreaker for the pin and the win.

Smart Brain Arena - Backstage

As a crew was busy grabbing ropes and ladder to assist with getting Mr. Gouji down from the rafters, a man in a white fedora is roaming around the back. The Havok HOO caught another one.

Jeff Andonuts: Hey! Who keeps letting you guys in here?! Who are you?

?: Don't you remember me?

Jeff Andonuts: .....Securi-

?: It's me Cody!

Jeff Andonuts: .....SECURI-

Cody: Cody? Cody from the Fourdoras!

Jeff Andonuts: Oh. OH! Oooooh.

Cody: I'm here to issue a warning to you and the establishment. A new wave is coming.

Jeff Andonuts: Right. The Third Wave.

Cody: No, it's a new era, but not the era you're expecting! You see, I am a Bernie Bro!

Jeff Andonuts: ...A supporter of Presidential candidate Bernie Goldstein?

Cody: Exactly! You'll see, he's the next President. Just you wait. He'll give free things to the masses...by charging YOU! You're going to pay for my college!

Jeff Andonuts: ....No, I'm not.

Cody: Oh yes you will! We're going to take over the country and take over Havok too. I'm recruiting right now for the stable that will take over Havok. I'm thinking of a stable name like "Echo Chamber" or "Hug Box".

Jeff Andonuts: Yeah that's nice. I think it's time I unleash my new Chief of Security! Oh Chief!

Cody: Eh?

?: >:C

Cody: AH!

Camilo Ortega and Royal Crown Champion Dragon Shiryu joined forces again to take on Poison Jam and Dogma Mask of Fenrir in tag action. Derek Mach was obviously not there, but The Demon was lurking in the shadows for the match. Despite this he didn't get involved. He instead witnessed Shiryu, his Victory Explosion X opponent defeat Poison Jam after the Rozan Shoryu-Ha.

Havok World Champion Razorblade took on Tack Angel in a show stealing match. Luckily, the theft wasn't reported, so no one had to go to jail or anything. Great match, that is until Kishin Kid had to get involved and make people wonder why they like wrestling when every freaking match has to have a run in of some sort. Let's turn people off of the product by letting this happen far too often. Allow me to make like a children's reading for pizza program and BOOK IT! Razorblade got the win after hitting a devastating Piledriver on the Pushpin Seraphim. Kishin Kid made it clear that he intends to take Tack Angel's career at VE X, now knowing how much it means to him after having decided to watch the network. It's about time someone realized that they could watch the shows to figure things out.

Smart Brain Arena - Interview Stage

Standing by on the island among the Renegades was Nerma and the returning Lady Renegades Champion Hope Mach. The reaction for her may have been the biggest of the night.

Nerma: Wow! I don't think I need to introduce who I'm joined by, but just for the sake of it, Lady Renegades Champion Hope Mach.

Hope Mach: Thank you, it's great to be back in an official capacity. I've been having some "fun" during my recovery, but it's time for a return to the ring, and I can not wait.

Nerma: Can you hear these fans? They are going crazy for you.

Hope Mach: Unfortunately no. I don't have my aid back yet, due to the damage Ripper Jane caused me. I can feel it though. I feel those cheers through the floor. I'm simply blown away. Thanks for always having my back Renegades.

Nerma: Tonight, you'll have a chance to unify the titles, and return to your spot at the top. How are you feeling about the match with Erica.

Hope Mach: Feeling a lot better knowing that Elevation is banned from ringside. That said, I take her very seriously. She set an example years ago with how long her title reign lasted. The difference is that she's holding an Interim Championship now, and I'm the one that wants to hold this title for years to come. You're going to see me go all out in this main event, and then at Victory Explosion X, I'll walk in as champ and walk out as champ. It reminds me of a story I heard, about the deaf woman who climbed the tree. Everyone at the bottom was telling her it couldn't be done. They kept throwing negativity at her. She didn't hear a word of it. She never heard the word impossible, and never once thought it was impossible, and she made it. I hope everyone enjoys the main event, because Hope returns to Havok. Thank you.

Degrees and Amigo were up next, but there was uncertainty over if the match would actually happen after Razorblade's attack earlier in the night. The Havok World Champion kicked up his feet at the announce table to gloat about the match needing to be cancelled, and how he had just beaten Tack Angel. The Pushpin Seraphim staggered over to the announce table. Razorblade smugly asked him what he wanted, as Kishin Kid looked to blindside him. Tack hit the SUPERKICK! on Kishin and tossed him right into Razorblade's lap before walking away. That shocked Razorblade, but the burly man from the north was even more shocked to see Degress, Jackson Kain, and Amigo all coming down together. He slowly backed away over the guardrail, while Jackson stood watch, so Degrees and Amigo could get into the ring. They both looked worn out, but locked up none the less, determined to have the match. A fantastic showing from the Doctor and the World Warrior, even with all they have gone through earlier in the night. Of course, this is Havok, and the Pentaverate just HAD to come back out in mass and attack all three men. The place went nuts as they brawled, and the trio actually managed to force the Pentaverate back. Just before they were about to leave though, Jeff Andonuts made his way out.

Jeff Andonuts: Alright, I'm getting tired of all these run ins with you people! I'm getting tired of you stopping good matches from having decisive conclusions! Smart Brain is looking to create the future of wrestling and athletics, and they can't be having fun trying to compile all the data they are looking for, while sifting through matches that you ruin. That's alright though Razorblade, because I'm sure you're prepared for the results of your actions. You want to be the face of the New Waves in Havok? You won the title in very quick fashion, so that's a good start, but let's see if you can follow that up by making some real history. You will be in the main event of Victory Explosion X, and the rest of that match has now been decided. You will be facing.....Amigo......Degrees......and former champion Jackson Kain! That's right, a 4-Way Main Event, with the title on the line, and the Pentaverate banned from ringside! That's your Victory Explosion X Main Event! A celebration of the present and the future if there ever was one!

The Pentaverate were obviously upset, as Amigo, Kain, and Degrees all looked at each other in the ring. They were allies and friends at the moment, but when the bell rang for the main event of the 10th Anniversary, all bets would be off.

Trevor Mach: What are you talking about? I'm totally going to be betting! Why would bets be off! If anything, bets will be on, and my bet will be on-

Producer Steve: Mr. Mach, you're not supposed to respond to the typing guy!

The camera abruptly cut the outside of the apartment complex where Trevor Mach resides.

Trevor Mach: Like I care Steve! So, I'm guessing he'll be expecting me to go through the front door, which is why YOU'RE going to. As for me, I've got other plans. *pulls out gun*

Producer Steve: Mr. Mach!

Trevor Mach: Relax! I'm just taking it out of my pants because I'm about to climb the fire escape! Hold it for me would you? Careful, the safety is off.

Producer Steve:  Ah!

Trevor Mach: I'm kidding! It never HAD a safety! Now just chuck it up!

Producer Steve: WHAT?!

Trevor Mach: Throw it! I'll catch it with my teeth!

Producer Steve: Uh...how about Boom Mic Bruce sends it up on the mic.

Trevor Mach: Whatever! See you at the top!

Main event time, as Hope Mach returned to the ring to defend her title against Interim Champion Erica in a title unification match. The "Hope" of Havok was looking to keep the title from the clutches of Elevation, while Erica wants to unify the titles and break her old record. You know when I said some other match was the match of the night. Well that was bullshit. Just throw that out the window, because THIS was the match of the night. The Elevation leader slapped away Hope's hand and tried to attack her from the corner, but the wrestling expert took Erica to the ground and showed the veteran some new tricks in the ways of grappling. Erica gouged the eyes and came back swinging, jokingly trying to lift up Hope for the Olympic Slam, only for Hope to escape and push Erica to the ground, trapping her in the Ankle Lock. Erica was quick to turn around and kick hope off, catching her on the bounceback from the rope for the Elevator Killswitch. 1-2-Kickout! Erica was shocked as she grabbed up Hope for another Killswitch, but Hope escaped and lifted Erica for the Olympic Slam. As the crowd went wild, she locked in the Ankle Lock again. Erica screamed, unable to escape this time. While Elevation was banned from ringside, this is Havok, and sometimes interference just HAS to happen I guess, as Ripper Jane made her way out. Free from the ban, Tess was probably kicking herself for not thinking about it, Ripper Jane grabbed Hope by the hair and pulled her back against the ropes, hitting her neck against them in a very awkward way that seemed to have cause some injury. Erica was confused by the distration, but capitalized and hit the backslide on Hope. 1-2-3! Erica took the cheap win to become the Undisputed Lady Renegades Champion. Elevation came out to celebrate while the Renegades in the crowd tossed garbage into the ring, showing incredible disdain for the actions of the group. Hope had to be helped out, but pushed the help away to stand on her own feet as she caught up with Ripper Jane and stared her in the face. Ripper Jane tried to grab her by the throat, but a very angry Hope pushed her hand away and grabbed Ripper by the throat. She mouthed the words Victory Explosion, and pushed her away. Erica continued to celebrate until Lady M's and Kelly Steele rushed into the ring. Real Steele cleared the ring to the delight of the crowd, with M's making it clear that she and Erica will face off for the title at Victory Explosion X.

Trevor Mach's Apartment

Trevor crawls in through the window. Steve got there long before him, and has been stricken with fear in the corner. Derek Mach was sitting in a chair in the center of the room, looking at a photo album.

Trevor Mach: Ah man my back! That was a mistake! I fell so many times!

Derek Mach: I know, I heard you.

Trevor Mach: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I waste your time?

Derek Mach: I have all the time in world. I've taken my time breaking you down. I've taken my time having fun with EBW and Havok. You thought you got away from me, but I've always been here. If I wasn't here physically, I was in your head, and it broke you every time. So I played cult leader to blow up a space station. I played cult leader to a group of masked maniacs, and I preached Undeth. All the while, I laughed to myself that you had no idea that your sins hadn't gone away. They were staring you in the face, and you didn't even know it.

Trevor Mach: I like surprises though. Load off my mind to know I hadn't killed you. Do you know what family reunions were like? *pulls gun out* They probably won't like this either.

Derek Mach: Are you so desperate to stop me that you're going to these lengths.

Trevor Mach: Just wanted to make sure you didn't try anything to my dog again.

Derek Mach: Barley is fine, I'm a monster, but I'm not Michael Vick.

Trevor Mach: ....That was a good one....dated....but good.

Derek Mach: You're so afraid of me, it's obvious. Every time that you hear my name, or feel my actions, it breaks you down. When you ran from Fenrir, it broke you so much that you hid under a wizard hat and robe until you were sure that I wasn't coming for you. The moment you saw me in that cage, your mind broke again, because that's where you go to hide from the fear. You can't escape it.

Trevor Mach: Fear? I'm not afraid of you Derek. It just takes a madman to stop a madman, and I'm a MAD madman. A Badman Madmad. A BAD MAD BADMADMAN!

Derek Mach: I'm going to introduce the world to true chaos. I'm going to throw your world into disarray. I'm going to-

Trevor Mach: You obviously have a lot of plans. Now here is my plan. You and I are going to have a match at Victory Explosion X. That's X for ten....not Xtreme....I think. I'll know if they call it X2 next year. We're going to settle this the way we always have. That chaos you and I love so much.

Derek Mach: Oh is that right? Is that how we're going to settle this? Fenrir could tear Havok apart right now. I could blow up the arena, and most of Saturn City before they brought me down...if they even caught me. Why should I bother?

Trevor Mach: Because you want to break me first right? What a coincidence, I'm want to be done with you first too.

Derek Mach: You're such a naive fool. You're putting yourself in a situation that will kill you. I've already done enough damage haven't I? I know you haven't told them, but I know. I know all to well what I took from you in that cage. I didn't just give you that scar, I blinded you in the right eye didn't I? I'm surprised no one else has noticed yet. You run into things, and crash your prized chopper into walls. Why haven't you told them yet?

Trevor Mach: I heard Subbie was coming back soon, and I didn't want to steal his thunder. Besides, the joke's on you, because my eyesight was already shit in my right eye, so you saved me from having to secretly wear reading glasses!

Derek Mach: I've scarred you, and I've left you with one eye left. What more do you want to lose?

Trevor Mach: Everything....if it means stopping you once and for all.

Derek Mach: ....Now that is something I want to see. You're a sociopath, so you can pretend this about saving other people, but you know deep down this is all about-

Trevor Mach: Saving myself? Oh I'm not pretending this is noble Derek. To use my favorite line, this time....it's personal.

Smart Brain Arena - Hallway

Mr. Gouji is rushing to catch up to a laughing Derek Mach. Renegades and New Wavers step aside with an uneasy feeling as the former World Champion formerly known as Void rushes further into the arena.

Mr. Gouji: Hey Derek, we need to talk.

Derek Mach: Talk is cheap. I've done enough of it. People didn't want to embrace my Undeth, so I'll just straight up make them. Want me to start with you?

Mr. Gouji: Don't forget who you're talking to. I've been financing your cause.

Derek Mach: Have I ever told you how much I hate money? Just burn the whole pile. Fenrir runs off of chaos and carnage.

Mr. Gouji: I'm the handler for Dogma and Poison Jam. They're only loyal to your cause if the money keeps flowing.

Derek Mach: Fine, give it to them. I don't care. I don't care about any of it. I have a family reunion coming up, and that's what I care about. That's the statement. Kill the "Bad Man".

Mr. Gouji: *sigh* I always have to pick the "strange" clients don't I?

Smart Brain Arena - Degrees Office

The good Doctor is checking on his Victory Explosion opponent Jackson Kain.

Jackson Kain: Well?

Degrees: Your recovery has been slow, but you took enough time off to rest that I can clear you for this match coming up and our match at Victory Explosion X.

Jackson Kain: You wouldn't just be saying that to trick me would you? Trying to get me injured even more to take me out of the running?

Degrees: ....You know me better than that.

Jackson Kain: I do, I'm just kidding man. Remember, I'm an asshole.

Degrees: You haven't been that guy for a long time. You've been my friend instead.

Jackson Kain: You were always the best of us Doc. You brought the team together in #EVER, and you kept us together. You brought me back from the brink. I became Havok World Champion because of you. You deserve to be the face of this company just as much as I do. I can't deny that, no matter how much I used to want to. I'm only your rival now because I never want to fall behind.

Degrees: You surpassed me Jackson, no shame in that. This is my chance to catch back up. Winning at Victory Explosion X, would be the biggest honor.

Jackson Kain: Well, I hope you're not too sad to see me win it. Hehe.

Degrees: Heh. Let's make a deal. When one of us wins this, we raise the others hand. No matter what. Deal?

Jackson Kain: Yeah man....deal. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go kick the World Champion's ass tonight.

Smart Brain Arena - Lady Renegades Locker Room

Lady M's is wrapping her wrists up when Ripper Jane approaches.

Ripper Jane: I broke your daughter.

Lady M's: Is that how you say hello?

Ripper Jane: I ripped her apart.

Lady M's: So you say, but she's still standing.

Ripper Jane: I will kill her in the ring if she faces me at Victory Explosion.

Lady M's: ...Whatever you say.

Ripper Jane: Too afraid to look at me?

Lady M's: You're just not worth my time. I could have a blood feud with you, but I'd rather let Hope do it. Seems she has a LOT more reason to want to mess you up.

Ripper Jane: Trevor Mach was mine. I took him and used him mere days after your betrayal.

Lady M's: Is this what you're doing? Just doing the bullet points of your "evil" deeds. Look, I don't care about all that, it's in the past. I dropped Tracy, and....well he got dropped twice. You have to hand it to him that he didn't let that get to him TOO much. That's not an issue here here. What you've done to Hope, I've already told you, she's going to handle that. If you want to get technical I've already fucked you. You couldn't handle being the meat in the Mach sandwich, so you went after Hope. You'll find out why that's a big mistake. Your reckoning is coming bitch. So what exactly do you want?

Ripper Jane: You tell Trevor that if this match goes down with the voice of the truth Derek Mach, he will die.

Lady M's: You don't really buy into all this Undeth Fenrir bullshit do you?

Ripper Jane: I'm more loyal to this cause than you have been to anything ever in your pathetic life.

Kelly Steele: Hey, why don't you back off!

Ripper Jane: I leave a void and this worthless waste of space fills it. I'm not impressed or intimidated by you. I was only here to deliver a message to M's, and I won't waste anytime with you.

Kelly Steele: Whatever Hailey...Helena...RJ...whatever the hell you want to call yourself. The "party girl" of Havok. Boy, you really turned into a boring Hot Topic stereotype. I'm nothing like you. I'm a rocker and I'm real....REAL STEELE. So take a hike.

Ripper Jane: ....Watch your back....when Hope has fallen...I will come back for you.

Kelly Steele: Psht...can you believe that?

Lady M's: ...I like the way you talk trash. It's really working for me right now.

Kelly Steele: You've got some odd priorities you know that?

Lady M's: My priority is following you into the shower.

Kelly Steele: I have a match to get ready for! Some people already have their VE X ticket stamped. I have to kick ass to impress.

Lady M's: Oh yeah, you're taking on Paula tonight. Just remember, the rust is real, avoid the sharpshooter, and attack the left knee....I totally messed that up for her. Hehe.

Kelly Steele: You're bizarre. This whole thing you've got going on in the division is bizarre. I'd say get some therapy, but I'm digging it too much.

Kelly Steele Apartment - Midnight

Kelly is cleaning her guitar when she hears a loud knock at the door.

Kelly Steele: Who the hell could it be at this hour? Hey assholes, the party was yesterday!

Lady M's: Either you open the door, *hick* or I knock it down.

Kelly Steele: Oh shit it's you. Hang on, I'll be right there.

*door opens*

Lady M's: Hey rocker chick.

Kelly Steele: So you've been drinking heavily huh?

Lady M's: Maybe more than ushhual. Nothing I can't handle. Jusht thought I would come by and shpend shome quality time with my tag partner. *wink*

Kelly Steele: I've never had any problems with other chicks hitting on me until you. It just makes it weird.

Lady M's: It'sh what I do....I make thingsh weird. It'sh what I always do. I run, I destroy, I rebuild, and look....I deshtroy again. *hick*. It's the shtory of my life.

Kelly Steele: I feel like you've got a point to all of this.

Lady M's: My thing with Trevor....the division....Erica. I've created and destroyed. Erica is who she is, and has done what she's done to SPARKLE and now Havok because I didn't care anymore....well maybe I care a little. Maybe I care enough to beat her ass and take that title. Maybe that title does mean something to me. Maybe fixing the mess I helped make does mean something to me.

Kelly Steele: Now I know you're drunk. You know, I used to watch you before getting into the sport myself. When I was on tour I never missed a show. I looked up to you so much. You kind of lost your way though.

Lady M's: No, I jusht found a new way, and I don't regret that. Thish is who I am. Take it or leave it.

Kelly Steele: I'll take it, as long as you get your hand off my ass and remember who you used to be. Someone a company trusted enough to build an entire division around. Someone who was going to be the foundation of SPARKLE. You may not have wanted the job, but you're born to do it.

Lady M's: Hehe...that's right I am "born to do it". Hahaha.

Kelly Steele: What am I doing playing the damn voice of reason here? You're not going to remember word one of this when you-

Lady M's: Oh shit....oh shi.....shit...oh shit I'm gonna puke! Is this the way to toilet?

Kelly Steele: Wait no! That's my bedroom!

Lady M's bursts in, but suddenly becomes distracted from her oncoming vomit by the sight she sees in the bedroom. Pictures of Trevor Mach adorning the walls. Actions figures and posters too.

Lady M's: Wha....what is all of this?

Kelly Steele: YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SEEING THAT!

Lady M's: .....Big fan of Trevor are we?

Kelly Steele: ....I-

Lady M's: What is this? Tiger Beat? He posed for Tiger Beat Magazine?! He's in his 30's!

Kelly Steele: He busted in....made them do it...for the laughs. That's what the interview on the back says anyways and-

Lady M's: This is a practical joke right? You're messing with me.

Kelly Steele: I didn't know you were coming!

Lady M's: ....Oh right.

Kelly Steele: Yeah, I'm a fan. So what? I'm a fan of both of you, but I want to be known by my own strength and accomplishments. I'm not a sex toy pawn like Ripper Jane. I'm not an ex-wife but not really cause you never actually got married like you.

Lady M's: HAHAHA!

Kelly Steele: What are you laughing about?

Lady M's: Funny thing about that.

Kelly Steele: About what?

Lady M's: That whole marriage thing. I made a lawyer tell Trevor that he never signed the papers to make it legit.

Kelly Steele: And?

Lady M's: *whisper yell* I made it up! The marriage was real and we're actually shtill married. Shhh! Don't tell Trevor. Hehehe...

Kelly Steele: ....Oh boy.

Smart Brain Arena - Parking Lot

A bus pulls up, with the Pentaverate pouring out, a party seemed to be going down in the bus as the team was in great spirits. Razorblade was the only one with a cold gaze as he left the bus.

Kishin Kid: Come on Razor! Cheer up! You've got this in the bag!

Razorblade: I've got this in the bag? Of course I do, I'm the Havok World Champion. I won it alone, and I'll defend it alone. Tonight, I'll beat the former champ alone.

Kishin Kid: I think you forget that I allowed all of this to happen, so when I say celebrate and party, you should do so.

Razorblade: Oh, you "let" me did you? Last time I checked, I have this title, the Eagleland Males have the tag titles, and Maniac has been winning big matches. What have you been doing? Oh that's right, you're been "letting" us.

Kishin Kid: Hey! I'm going to send Tack Angel packing at Victory Explosion X. Don't forget that. I'm the Wall of Havok. Don't you ever forget that Razorblade. You got that because I let you. You crossed the wall. Now, the Pentaverate is the elite team because I let it be!

Maniac: .....

Saxon: Hey, whatever works for you man.

Novus: We've got the gold, and Tack Angel is on the way out. We can't really complain.

Razorblade: Stay away tonight Kid. Don't even use that ridiculous new "Buddy Box". Jackson Kain won't make it to Victory Explosion X in one piece.

Saxon: I like one pie-

Novus: *places hand on shoulder nodding* Not now buddy.

Kishin Kid: ....I DO like that attitude Razor....it's "great".



Victory Explosion X is weeks away, and the tonight's Xcite would see two big matches booked for the big event, as well as a celebration of EBW. All night long, footage was shown of big EBW events leading up to the merger with Havok. This Xcite would also see the introduction of the Buddy Box, a box that Renegades and Lady Renegades stand in when they come out with competitors during matches. The whole point of this and the warning of fines, is to get rid of interference and keep Havok clean before the 10th Victory Explosion.

The show kicked off in epic fashion, as a new theme played for the formal introduction of the brand new super group: The Mullet Club...

Voice: Mu-mu-mu-mullet Club 5-Life

The 87's and the Weekend Wrecking Crew hit the stage and made their way to the ring to a big reaction. Trevor started meandering off to the side, with Tack and Retro Hippie helping him correct himself with the depth perception problems. Kinniku Mike grabbed the mic.

Kinniku Mike: Uuuuuu! Look at what we have here! A fine assemblage of talent if I say so myself, and I do, with my strong tits in full agreement. Look at them flexing, that's them nodding in approval. We all have history in this ring, but good or bad, we've put that all aside for to team up and form the Mullet Club.

Trevor Mach: We're here to bro it up and pick a fight with Fenrir and the Pentaverate, and really anyone who gets in out way.

Magnum PT: We're not some G-Rated Kiddie Show group either Chief.

Erik Stone: Ain't that the truth.

Grind: We're here to get back to our roots. What the 87's originally stood for. I'm here to redeem myself. I made my own choices, but Fenrir as Undeth manipulated me and took away time I could have used better. I'm a former World Champion, and I was never farther away from the title then I was with them. The lucha blade style will made a comeback, and so will I.

Ishihiro Tomo: .....

Retro Hippie: ...Uh...He's really happy about this.

Tack Angel: ....I hate the name and the shirts more than life itself, but I'm not going to let that stop me. For years, I've been timid and I've allowed myself to be the butt of the joke and to be bullied. I don't like bullies, and I don't like being the butt of the joke! From now on, #NOMOREBUTTS will be trending worldwide.

Retro Hippie: I really don't think you want tha-

Tack Angel: Quiet!

Retro Hippie: Eep!

Tack Angel: Kishin Kid, I did my best for you. I wanted the best for you. For the longest time I was still proud of you, but now I just want to beat you. I want to be the guy that's happy for you. I want to be the guy that's honored that you're using my moves. That just didn't happen, and at Victory Explosion X, I'm going to beat you, and make sure you never use my moves again. The reason for that stip is simple. I want you to remember how much I tried to help you. When you cut my moveset out of yours, we'll see what kind of wrestler you are on your own.

Trevor Mach: That brings us to my own bit of business here. As you can see, I have an eye patch now. I've become pirate...no...I'm actually blind in this eye. The douche nozzles wouldn't let me compete if I wasn't cleared and that just didn't happen! I can't compete tonight, and I can't have my match with Derek Mach at Victory Explosion X. WRONG! Wrong wrong wrong! SO WRONG! You can't stop me! I'm too crazy to be stopped! If you want me to be safe, I'm just going to make things all the more dangerous! We're talking Unsanctioned Violence! I don't care if it's in the record books or not! I don't care if I get paid for this one! I'm hijacking that ring, and I'm calling your ass out! For once it will actually NOT be a match, and ACTUALLY be a fight! If you've got the balls to fight me! I'm not afraid of you Derek! Like I said, it just takes a mad man to beat a mad man!

Kinniku Mike: Victory Explosion X is filling up fast. Don't worry, the Crew's got a plan for the big show, but that's going to wait for later. Right now, let's clear the ring and let some Lady Renegades wrestle. Mullet Club 5-Life!

Retro Hippie: Yeah! We're the...uh.."Muz Cluz".

Ishihiro Tomo: .....

Retro Hippie: No?

Tack Angel: I don't even get the 5-Life thing.

Trevor Mach: It's one more than 4-Life. Obviously.

Tack Angel: Oh yes....obviously.

-The opening match would see the return of an EBW legend in Paula, the first lady of EBW actually. She looked to be in better shape than she was as an active member of the roster. She came out to a big response, but not as big as the response of the growing popularity of her opponent Kelly Steele. She came out shredding on her guitar until everybody freaked out by remembering that Paula is psychic, as she pulled the guitar away and played a few chords herself with PSI. Holy shit! Steele rushed the ring and was to quick to go on the offense, as a show of bravery, or maybe just to get her guitar back. Great opening match, with Paula not missing a beat in her offense. She tagged Kelly on the chin with the Superkick, and locked Kelly in a Sharpshooter, that looked to force the New Waver to submit, but Kelly managed to fight her way to the ropes. Paula even showed off some new moves, trying to take down Kelly with the Stardust Press, but Kelly countered and trapped Paula in a sudden Shredding Backbreaker for the 1-2-3! A huge win for Kelly, who pinned the EBW legend. She extended her hand to help Paula up, and Paula raised it in a show of respect, saying she'd be honored to have a rematch at Victory Explosion X. That's when Lady Renegades Tag Team Champions Tracy and Valarie Dorado, and Kaie of Elevation rushed the ring and attacked. Erica appeared with the Undisputed Lady Renegades Championship in hand and proclaimed that she refused to see Paula back in wrestling. Kelly and Paula fought back through, driving Kaie and the champs out of the ring.

Erica: Look at you Mrs. Ness. You quit playing school teacher for a day to come back and play pretend? Well you can pretend to be a wrestler all you want, but do it somewhere else! I don't want to see you here!

Paula: Some things never change. What has changed is me though, and I think you'll find that this wasn't a one day return. I wasn't going to make this announcement until VE X, but now I figure why wait. I'm coming back to wrestling full time! I want to be a part of this Lady Renegades Era. So I think I'll you'll be seeing me a lot. Tracy, I missed you at the last family reunion. Ness thought it best that I keep my distance from you, but I just can't after what you did to me and the new girl here. I think I have a better idea for Victory Explosion. I think Tracy, Valarie Dorado, and Kaie should battle myself, Kaie's "close friend" Sunny Malibu, and of course the hottest name in the New Wave Kelly Steele here.

Kelly Steele: Well that sounds just about right I think! I'm game for that, on one condition.

Paula: And that is?

Kelly Steele: ...Give me back my guitar.

Paula: Oh of course! Here. Sorry about that.

Kelly Steele: We'll see you bitches at Victory Explosion X!

Tracy: ...You're going to regret coming back Paula. I'll see to that.

-The next match was a big Battle Royale between the Renegades and New Wavers. A free for all, over the top war that saw Kinniku Mike in impressive fashion, eliminate guys like Slam Master Jam, all of SWORD, and Noah Jennings before finally getting ousted by both Clash Champion Bashin Dan and Benjamin, with a double Spear. The main attraction to this math though was Severide, the Third Waver who has been undefeated on his climb to the main roster, and he managed to do most of the rest of the eliminations, taking out Erik Stone and Benjamin last as they were trying to eliminate each other. The menacing striker in all black remains undefeated.

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, the yes I'm still employed of Havok, and I'm trying to catch up to Severide to talk about that big win. Severide! Severide!

Severide: ...

Tommy Dukes: Ah...uh...so...big fan already....and I've got to ask you what your plans are for Havok? You come from a different fighting background and I was wondering if-

Severide: Place them in front of me.

Tommy Dukes: What?

Severide: Just place them in front of me, and I will defeat them. Those are my plans. Out of my way.

Tommy Dukes: Oh...thanks! See that? I got him to talk and everything! I'm still good at my job!

Smart Brain Arena - Backstage

In the back the newcomer Akai was seen attacking Makoto Kusaka. Kusaka attacked Akai during his debut as the newest graduate of the Smart Brain Academy. The spiky newcomer was viciously assaulting the Television Champion, but Kusaka fought back, launching off some boxes to try and hit his Gold Smash Dropkick, but suddenly Yuji Kiba knocked him out of the air. Kiba and Akai both attack Kusaka until Takumi Inui intervened.

Takumi Inui: What's going on here?!

Makoto Kusaka: Another one? You Smart Brain bastard want to take me down that badly? Keep trying!

Takumi Inui: I'm not here to do that! Kiba, what are you-

Yuji Kiba: Doing what I should have done from the start. This man is an enemy of Smart Brain, and that makes him an enemy of Havok.

Akai: I was brought here specifically to take him out. Inui, stay out of my way, and this won't be you. Compliments of Smart Brain.

Takumi Inui: I can't let you do this. This isn't the right way.

Makoto Kusaka: Inui, what are you doing?

Takumi Inui: Stand back Kusaka.

Yuji Kiba: Takumi....maybe....maybe you're right. Maybe I'm going too far.

Takumi Inui: I'm glad you-

Akai: I don't share that belief. In fact, let's make it interesting.

-Akai motioned for a referee before attacking Takumi. Apparently making this a Falls Count Anywhere match. A win over one of the New Waves top names would propel Akai, but it didn't look like that mattered to him at this point. Takumi let loose, and with a flick of his wrist he landed the Heart Punch, which sent Akai back far enough for Takumi to land his Crimson Smash Superkick on the newcomer and he pinned him on the concrete for the win. Kusaka was long gone, but Yuji Kiba stuck around to help up Takumi.

-The next match saw the HOO of Havok return to in ring to take on the New Waver Benjamin as an Audition for the Victory Explosion X match. Despite Benjamin being worn out from the Battle Royale earlier in the night, and despite the fact that all the flash photography made him think someone was casting a spell on him, he managed to defeat the veteran, albeit very rusty veteran, Jeff Andonuts, when he missed the Sky Runner attempt and ended up eating a Spear. Jeff showed his approval for Benjamin and announced that he would be joining Slam Master Jam in the match against Ness, Poo, and Jeff at VE X.

Smart Brain Arena - Basement

Camilo Ortega is searching the depths of the arena, which used to be the stomping ground for Undeth, but it was completely empty, except for a figure slowly making his way down the stairs.

Dragon Shiryu: They aren't here, I already checked.

Camilo Ortega: You and I think alike. That's good to know at least when you go against the Demon.

Dragon Shiryu: I know you're not happy about that.

Camilo Ortega: He is my friend....one of the few. When I turned my back on everything I stood for, he forgave me. It's funny that a man with such deep seeded rage could do that. The Demon though....he does not share the same feelings.

Dragon Shiryu: That is because Firebrand is under the possession of Hades, or so I believe.

Camilo Ortega: You keep saying this, but what does it mean?

Dragon Shiryu: I serve Athena, who is a "Guardian" of sorts to this world. I am one of her Ring Saints, and we do battle with those that would threaten the world, and this is the method of choice for dealing with such things. We believe that the greatest enemy Hades ha returned, and I believe he may have manifested within Firebrand.

Camilo Ortega: I think it's just his darkness. It's something he has had for a long time. He once made peace with it, but Undeth....Fenrir I guess...made his lose control again.

Dragon Shiryu: In any case, I promise that I will fight for both of us and try to save Firebrand from The Demon at Victory Explosion X.

Camilo Ortega: Please do....save my friend....because if you don't....I will.

Dragon Shiryu: *nod*

-Next match saw the former World Champion Jackson Kain taking on the current champ in non-title action ahead of the big Victory Explosion X 4-Way match for the title. This match saw the first use of the Buddy Box, as Degrees and Amigo sat in the glass box for the match. Amigo apparently packed a lunch and ate his sandwich throughout the match. Kain is coming off some serious injuries that he was working through, and it was obvious in this match, as Razorblade picked apart the former champion like we haven't see before. Kain was on the ropes for this one sided affair, with Razorblade restoring some his validity as champ after hitting a devastating Piledriver on Kain to score the pin and the win. A big win for the champ who was in need of one before the biggest match of his young career. Kain was upset at the loss, refusing help on the way up the stage, instead signing autographs and giving his shades to kids like he would if he wasn't in serious pain, but he was...just saying.

-The next match was supposed to be an 8-Man tag featuring the new super group Mullet Club taking on Fenrir, but Trevor Mach wasn't cleared for the match. This lead to the need for a new member for the Mullet Club team. This lead to the huge revelation that Hope Mach would be the addition, which lead to the crowd going wild. She unleashed on Ripper Jane to start the match, prompting the Ripper to tag out. A fantastic war that got the crowd really into the action, and without any interference the match could reach an intended conclusion. Unfortunately that didn't work out for the Mullet Club, as they lost their first match under that name when Dogma Mask hit the Dogma Bomb on a rushing Grind and pinned him before anyone could stop it. A big win for Fenrir, and a hard loss for Grind.

-The Fenrir leader Derek Mach was up next in his first match since being revealed as the man behind the Void mask. His opponent would be the striker Maurice, who took the match as a chance to get back at a former boss and get back into the wrestling scene in a big way. This plan backfired. After firing off a few early shots, Derek went berserk on Maurice, viciously letting loose with a moveset that looked like Void in fast forward. He hit the Chaos Theory several times before locking in a Hell Claw. Maurice was bleeding profusely from the mouth, but refused to give up, prompting a referee stoppage. Derek Mach won the match, showing that he might have actually been holding back during his time as Void, which means bad news for Trevor Mach in an Unsanctioned setting, which just happens to be what's happening at Victory Explosion X so shit!

Derek Mach: Trevor Trevor oh Trevor. You've refused me one too many times, and I'm done with being merciful with you. I've taken so much from you, and I've enjoyed every second of it. I have one thing left to destroy and that's your soul, which I will happily CRUSH at Victory Explosion X. In front of the whole world, I will make you my example. They will see that I am no mere man, but an instrument of chaos! A cold, black, VOID! You will all bare witness! YOU WILL WITNESS ME! YOU WILL WITNESS THE END! YOU WILL ALL WITNESS THE DEATH OF TREVOR MACH!

-Main event time as EBW's greatest legend Ness returned to take on Clash Champion Bashin Dan for Dan's chance to be added to the New Wave team at Victory Explosion X. Like Benjamin before him, Dan had already competed before the match, but came on strong against the first ever EBW World Champion. Ness put him through hell with his signature offense, capping off a strong flurry with a PSI ROCKIN!, but Dan actually kicked out to the surprise of everyone. The Clash King came back strong, hitting the Brave Clash on Ness before going for the pin. 1-2-KICKOUT! Ness showed that he was taking the New Waver very seriously and brought his A-Game. Both been battled it out so long that the show went over the allotted time, but who cares cause it's out damn network. The big surprise came when the bell rang to signal the end of the match via Time Limit Draw. The young Clash King took Ness to the limit and survived! The crowd cheered the effort, with Dan looking less than pleased that he didn't win, but his battle spirits soared when Ness raised his hand, the silent protagonist acknowledging his opponent and declaring him the third and final component in the New Wave vs. EBW Legend match for Victory Explosion X.

After the show, Tack Angel was pacing in the hallways.

Tack Angel: Not the best way for our stupidly named group to make a statement, but I guess it happens. I bet Kishin's laughing his butt off, but I'm not backing down. I'm not going to be taken advantage of anymore, and I'm not going to be bullied. The days of "Silly ol' Tack" are over. That regeneration may have been a ruse, but this is not. I'm getting fired up. No more silliness! No more jokes! No more-

Iroha: At last! I have finally found you!

Tack Angel: Eh? You? Iroha isn't it?

Iroha: Yes! I'm pleased that you already know my name. I'm sorry it took me so long to recognize you.

Tack Angel: I'm sorry....do I know you?

Iroha: I am Iroha, your faithful servant, and you Tack Angel, are my Master.

Tack Angel: Oh ok.......WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Smart Brain Training Center

Trevor is attempting to knee a heavy bag, but missing it due to the loss of his right eye, the depth perception continuing to throw him off.

Trevor Mach: Stupid bag! Stop moving you stupid bags! Bags aren't supposed to move! They're supposed to be sedentary so they can be kneed! Stupid bag! Stu-

Kelly Steele: Oh! Looks like I've come at the wrong time!

Trevor Mach: NO WAIT! You can hold the bag for me! It keeps moving!

Kelly Steele: You uh....you think maybe the bag isn't moving, but instead you're just missing it because you can't see on that side?

Trevor Mach: Which side?

Kelly Steele: The one I'm pointing at.

Trevor Mach: ...My GOD! You're right! This sucks!

Kelly Steele: You'll get the hang of it, and then you'll kick Derek's ass at Victory Explosion.

Trevor Mach: GAH! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! I haven't done anything bad....lately....today....mostly....why does my past keep coming to bite me in the ass!?

Kelly Steele: Demons are hard to shake.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, and this one has followed me my whole life. You know don't you? You know what I've done. I was one of them. I was Fenrir. It's in my blood.

Kelly Steele: You make your own fate. That's why instead of crashing that space station you blew it up.

Trevor Mach: You know your history...very good.

Kelly Steele: Back to the Future II?

Trevor Mach: Wh-what?

Kelly Steele: You just quoted your favorite movie....well aside from Megaforce.

Trevor Mach: How did you....of course....of course you'd know that.

Kelly Steele: Why do you say that?

Trevor Mach: I know something about you.

Kelly Steele: She told you?

Trevor Mach: ....I'm glad you like the Tiger Beat spread. I was doing my best Johnathon Taylor Thomas impression. No...that's not what I was talking about "rocker chick".

Kelly Steele: ...What are yo-

Trevor Mach: Another "FAN" right? Derek sure loves playing games. Waited until M's left me high and dry and used his plant to get to me. Should have seen it coming too. She was so into Grind, and then SUDDENLY she's a Mach fan.

Kelly Steele: Ripper Jane?

Trevor Mach: She was RJ to me...well before that she was Helena....and then Hailey. You know what I'm an idiot! Shit was right in front of me! Was I blind? No! Now I'm half blind, but I see it now! Stupid irony! Why is it so ironic!?

Kelly Steele: What are you talking about?

Trevor Mach: You're not a fan...you're just another plant. I can't have that many "fans". Look at me! I'm a mess! People cheer and laugh sure, but I'm the worst person in the world to get involved with. Ask M's, it made her lose it, but she's crazy enough to come back for seconds.

Kelly Steele: I'm actually a fan of yours! Look! *pulls out picture*

Trevor Mach: *stares* Shit! Hang on let me look at it with my WORKING EYE! *looks at picture of a younger Kelly with a 24 year old Trevor Mach and the school girl uniform wearing M's Style.

Kelly Steele: Been a fan for a very long time.

Trevor Mach: ...It's...it's been a long time. I think...I think I remember you.

Kelly Steele: Yeah?

Trevor Mach: I gave you...a wrist band....I signed it..you told me you wanted to be a wrestler or a rock star....I said.

Kelly Steele: Be both.

Trevor Mach: Why? Why are you just telling me this now?

Kelly Steele: How do you just walk up to someone you admire and tell them that.

Trevor Mach: You go up to them....and tell them?

Kelly Steele: Right...I guess that would have worked.

Trevor Mach: So I guess I didn't know much about you after all.

Kelly Steele: That's alright, I know stuff about you too.

Trevor Mach: Oh?

Kelly Steele: Yeah that I-

Lady M's suddenly busts into the room.

Lady M's: DAMMIT KELLY! You just had to do it didn't you?! You just HAD to tell Trevor we're still married. You snitching bitch!

Trevor Mach: ....Huh?

Kelly Steele: He...whoa...uh...actually I hadn't.

Lady M's: ....Seriously?

Kelly Steele: Yeah.

Trevor Mach: ....News to me.

Lady M's: ....Oh...Kelly...perhaps the snitching bitch line was hasty.

Kelly Steele: ...Perhaps?

Lady M's: Well...I've got my foot in my mouth right about now...perhaps we should talk Trevor....Trevor?

Kelly Steele: He's gone.

Lady M's: Oh boy.

The Angel Residence

Trevor Mach is slamming on the door.

Trevor Mach: LET ME IN! LET ME IN! LET ME I-

Tack Angel: WHAT!? WHAT?! WHAT?! I'm trying to write in here!

Trevor Mach: I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO-What are you writing?

Tack Angel: My Autobiography if you must know. It's called #NOMOREBUTTS: Bullied to Angel.

Trevor Mach: I like your other book title better "Will I ever find a Rainbow".

Tack Angel: YOU FOUND MY FIRST BOOK! That's my *whispers* secret autobiography. From me to myself. Hey, that's a good book title too. What did you want to talk about so urgently.

Trevor Mach: ....You know what? I forgot. I guess it was nothing. Later gator.

Tack Angel: Oh...well I'll have you know that you might joke about my book, but the reviews from myself say it's fantastic!

Trevor Mach: Heh...funny stuff bro. *slams door*

Tack Angel: That wasn't supposed to be funny. I AM funny though. I'm a funny guy. People laugh WITH me not AT me. Aren't I funny? Ah what do you know, you're just a well made mahogany door. All you know is knock knock jokes. Hehe...I have to remember that o-

*knock knock*

Tack Angel: AH! I mean AH-llo?

Iroha: Master, I have found you again!

Tack Angel: Iroha! Stop with the Master stuff alright? What do you want?

Iroha: Master, have you settled on what type of training I am to undergo? I confess that I am lacking definition in the chest as you put it, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to increase the...size of them.

Tack Angel: Ah....uh...well?

Amy Angel: Tack? Who's at the door?

Tack Angel: *slams door* NOBODY! NOBODY AT ALL!

Amy Angel: ....You're hiding something.

Tack Angel: ....What gave it away?

Trevor Mach: *outside in the hallway* HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER WHY I CAME HERE! TAAAAAACK!

Tack Angel: I was hiding whatever Trevor's doing out there....hehe...he's such a nut.

Amy Angel: ....Mmmhmm.

Tack Angel: *gulp*

Coast of Saturn City

The Weekend Wrecking Crew component of the Mullet Club have apparently gotten themselves a new boat and and have invited Amigo, Hexagon III, Kiva, and Los Tiburon aboard for a party, cause that's more important then gearing up for Victory Explosion X right?

Kinniku Mike: Uuuu! High seas adventure on the hunt for babes!

Amigo: They were on the shore. You left them to get on a boat full of dudes. Just saying. Where's my sandwich?

Kinniku Mike: Man, I had to get you out of the gym, and this was the best way to do it!

Amigo: Getting me on a boat? Whose boat is this anyway?

Magnum PT: Well that's an interesting story. This famous recluse writer has hired me to work as security on his island manor, and this is his boat the Mr. Beaumont. I "borrowed" it.

Amigo: ....I feel you have a lot going on that we don't know about.

Magnum PT: I keep busy.

Erik Stone: Look at this clown. He thinks he can take up the whole ocean. Get out of the way, jackass! Who names their boat Coast Guard, anyway?

Amigo: That IS the Coast Guard Stone.

Erik Stone: What are they doing here? The coast is all the way over there!

Amigo: *sigh* I really need to get back. This is the most important match of my career.

Kinniku Mike: Yeah, must be nice. I'm a former World Champion. I've been to the mountain top. Peaks almost as big as my Strong Tit peaks, and yet I don't even have a match at Victory Explosion X. *cough cough* I said I DON'T EVEN HAVE A MATCH AT VICTORY EXPLOSION X!

Amigo: I thought you said you had a plan?

Kinniku Mike: My plan involves those luchadors I have invited to take the hint and challenge for the trios titles!

Kiva: *turns to Mike*

Kinniku Mike: Yeah you! You guys haven't been doing anything lately! Why don't you get a payday and lose to us?

Los Tiburon: Oh! You think you can just roll over THIS LUCHADOR! I'LL GRAPPLE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!

Kinniku Mike: Are you guys in?

Los Tiburon: OF COURSE!

Hexagon III: *nods*

Kiva: *agrees in Lucha, but slips and falls off the side of the boat*

Kinniku Mike: Oh shit!

Magnum PT: Dammit Chief, you could've just said yes!

Erik Stone: Throw him a life raft!

Amigo: It's alright, he's got on like 3 life jackets. That's a man that respects the sea.

Kinniku Mike: Wait a minute....who is that?

Amigo: Huh?

A man emerges from the sea, a luchador in blue with gold trim with fins on his mask, back, and elbows. The opening on his mask reveals a giant beard.

?: BEHOLD YOU HAVE RELEASED ME THE ULTIMATE LUCHADOR AND MASTER OF THE SEA NEPTUNUS! I WILL BRING FORTH THE WRATH OF THE OCEAN UPON YOU...IN THE RING OF COURSE! POINT ME TO THE NEAREST WRESTLING PROMOTION!

Everyone, the floating Kiva included, point towards Saturn City. The majestic man of the ocean rode a dolphin towards the big city.

Kinniku Mike: Alright, what the hell was that?

Los Tiburon: At last! A new masked foe to do battle with!

Amigo: How was he under there and still alive? This water is like a sewer!

Trevor Mach's Apartment

Lady M's is sitting at the breakfast nook, pouring the contents of his flash into a glass of juice, when Trevor suddenly kicks the door open with Tack Angel not far behind, wearing a suit, black framed glasses, slicked back hair, and a briefcase.

Trevor Mach: YOU!

Lady M's: ...Oh here we go.

Trevor Mach: Do you think this is funny?!

Lady M's: ....It's getting there.

Trevor Mach: You think you could just play games with me like that? After going to hell and back I thought we were unbreakable, but then you play this game with me?!

Lady M's: Trevor I-

Trevor Mach: I was too FREAKED OUT to deal with you on my own so I brought my lawyer! TELL HER!

Tack Angel: Jack Tackowitz, attorney at law! You're in some serious trouble little missy!

Lady M's: Jack Tackowitz?

Tack Angel: Yeah, Trevor insists that people like me are good at this sort of thing. I had to remind him that I'm not from Chosenland, but I'm actually a Native Eaglelander to which he responded "that explains why your.....why your head looks like a Mr. Saturn."

Lady M's: And yet here we are?

Tack Angel: I WON'T BE the butt of THIS joke! No, I'm just going to roll with it! So yeah, I'm Jack Tackowitz! Plus....he gave me power of attorney.

Lady M's: God Trevor, why would you do that?

Trevor Mach: Because, JUSTICE is coming down on you Lady! I'm a little CRAZY right now, but I believe you're still trying to play mind games with me right now, and I'm not going to let that happen!

Lady M's: Trevor, let me explain. Yes, we're still married.

Trevor Mach: WHY?! Why would you make me think we weren't even married to begin with?!

Lady M's: I tend to make poor choices remember? I'm Lady M's!

Trevor Mach: OH SO MARRYING ME WAS A POOR CHOICE!? HA! I-

Lady M's: Leaving was.

Trevor Mach: Huh?

Lady M's: I've been doing this sort of thing since I was a kid. We're both chaotic, and yeah I do things because they amuse me, but I have other reasons.

Tack Angel: You're better spill it right now because- *briefcase opens up to reveal twinkies and comic books* ....huh.

Lady M's: If you didn't think we were married....you wouldn't try to divorce me.

Trevor Mach: That's what YOU wanted!

Lady M's: I never know what I want from one moment to the next! I just....I didn't want to shut that door on you forever....and I'm glad I didn't.

Trevor Mach: ...But I can't be that anymore! I'm not that guy you were married to! I don't want to settle down and live that married life anymore!

Lady M's: I don't either! I never did! It was your idea to begin with remember?! You retired and proposed!

Trevor Mach: Why did you accept?

Lady M's: I didn't want the married life, but I wanted you.

Trevor Mach: ....

Lady M's: You were trying to settle down WAY too soon! You and I aren't meant for the normal life! But that never meant that I didn't want a life with you, whatever the hell that life turns out to be! If you want me to apologize for what it took for me to realize that then you have it! You want me to apologize for wanting to keep the door open too? Then I'll-

Trevor Mach: Wait....so you're not messing with me?

Lady M's: I'm always messing with you.

Trevor Mach: ...So you're not JUST messing with me?

Lady M's: ...We're unbreakable Mach.

Trevor Mach: Tack....please leave. We're about to do things you don't want to see.

Tack Angel: Well...it seems that love conquers all. Oh wonderful love. L-O-V-E Love. L is for life, and what is life without love. O is for oh wow you're not waiting for me to leave the room. V is for the this VERY surprising turn of events. E is for EXTREMELY normal I'm sure you find this whole th-

Trevor Mach: TACK!

Tack Angel: Right, I'll just be leaving then.

Lady M's: No wait.

Tack Angel: Huh?

Lady M's: Leave the twinkies.

Tack Angel: *sigh*

Nerma: Nerma again, the voice of the Renegades, with a big update for the final shows before Victory Explosion X.

Speaking of EBW, it seems we might be hearing some big news on the subject very soon. The main event will see a huge free for all Battle Royale between the Pentaverate, the Mullet Club, and Fenrir.

Smart Brain Arena - Training Center

Amigo is suplexing a heavy bag repeatedly when Havok World Champion Razorblade enters the Center.

Razorblade: Now, if only you could do that to me.

Amigo: Come in here and I will.

Razorblade: You think I'm afraid to? I came here specifically to pick a fight. I can't wait for Victory Explosion X, and I know you can't either.

Amigo: I'm the World Warrior. I've waited years for my shot at the title in the main event of Victory Explosion X. You're be surprised how patient I can be.

Razorblade: You're not going into this match just for the title though right? You want to fight me. You want to kick my ass because I stepped on you and over you to get this title right?

Amigo: Am I that fickle? Maybe I am, or maybe I was. Maybe I was having trouble deciding one way or another, but I know that winning that title, and finally achieving what I've fought so hard to achieve would feel pretty damn good. Busting your teeth out, and making you tap might feel better, but it might not. I bet the suspense is killing you.

Razorblade: You think I'm afraid of you? I beat Jackson Kain and Degrees for this title.

Amigo: You didn't beat me for it.

Razorblade: ....

Amigo: So come on tough guy. Step in here, and let's have it out.

Razorblade: You're in for a world of pain Amigo. In the frozen north, I was baptized in blood. I became an instrument of pain.

Amigo: And down here you've gone soft. We'll see what you can do when Pentaverate isn't around.

Razorblade: Who says they aren't?

Amigo was suddenly jumped by Saxon and Novus. He fought them the best he could. Razorblade grabbed the camera from Cameraman Carl and smashed it into Amigo's face as the feed went to static.

The Angel Residence

In the bathroom some Kenny G is playing on the radio. Amidst candles and incense Tack Angel is enjoying a relaxing bath.

Tack Angel: Kenny G...take me away. Huh...it feels like I'm forgetting something today. Something important? I'm just too stres-

Amy Angel: Tack! Don't you have to-Whoa.....what are you doing?

Tack Angel: I-I'm...uh...I've had a rough week!

Amy Angel: Kenny G?

Tack Angel: His sax skills are undeniable! Ooo!

Amy Angel: What?

Tack Angel: The bath salts...they didn't mix into the water, they got stuck in...places. Now they're effervescing. It's....different. It's...intriguing.

Amy Angel: Tack, aren't you forgetting that you have Xcite tonight?

Tack Angel: .....NOOOOOO! SHOOT! I completely forgo-

*click*

Tack Angel: What was that?

Trevor Mach: Me locking the door!

Tack Angel: What?! Why?!

Trevor Mach: I need your spot in the Battle Royale. Later bro!

Tack Angel: TREVOR! You're not cleared! Trevor?! TREVOR! TRE-he's gone. He's just gone. *sigh*

Amy Angel: Great Tack. This is the go-home show before Victory Explosion X.

Tack Angel: I have the advantage. I'm already home! HAHA!

Amy Angel: ...Tack.

Tack Angel: I've said all I need to say. Now, you should get into this tub with me.

Amy Angel: ...Well we are locked in.

Tack Angel: Yes...yes we are.



Victory Explosion X is right around the corner. No literally, it's right around the corner. You turn the corner from where the outdoor stage is, and you'll find the doors to the Saturn Dome. I was being literal. Over used metaphors really REALLY suck. I mean sometimes you have no choice, but still. So yeah, the biggest show in the ten years of EBW-Havok is right over there....around that corner. It all started in a small city street, and it's going to....well keep going...over there...around the corner. You know I'm a little frazzled from this other shit wrestling show that was on and-forget it. This is Xcite!

-The opening match saw Magnum PT take on the luchador Hexagon III. Eagleland vs. Anahuac with no wall needed here. Hex III's got the green card and the goods, but PT managed to catch him off the ropes to hit the Mustache Ride and score the pin.

Smart Brain Arena - Interview Area

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Duke here, the George Freemont of Wrestling, and I'm joined by hack celebrity chef fraud Guy Fieri. Guy, you're really bad at everything that you do. What the hell are you doing here?

Guy Fieri: Well Tommy, I'm a HUGE wrestling fan, and when I'm not busy trying to pretend to be a chef, I'm watching Havok. I wanted to come here myself because I'm hoping to get a match at Victory Explosion X. As we all know, celebrities outside of wrestling are actually better wrestlers than the guys that fight every day in the ring, so I thought that-

Swift: >:C

Guy Fieri: AH!

Swift: POOOOOUNCE! How the hell did you get in here?! I kicked you out!

Guy Fieri: I'm an important celebrity!

Tommy Dukes: I'm so glad that loser is out. I guess everyone wants to be in Victory Explosion X.

Noah Jennings: YEAH LIKE ME!

Tommy Dukes: Oh boy.

Noah Jennings: DO YOU KNOW WHO I A-

Swift: POUNCE!

Tommy Dukes: Swift no! He actually works here!

Swift: Yeah, I know. >:C

Tommy Dukes: Say no more.

The Angel Residence

Tack and Amy are sitting in the tub watching a television in the bathroom.

Tack Angel: Man, I LOVE Guy Fieri! Welcome to Flavor Country!

-The next match saw Kiva take on Erik Stone, in another singles match that serves as a prelude to the Trios Championship match at Victory Explosion X. Great match, but Kiva out wrestled Stone and hit the Kiva Dive to score the pin and even the score.

Smart Brain Arena - Interview Area

Nerma: Nerma here, the voice of the Renegades, with Elevation. Tonight, you take on some heavy hitters in Paula, Lady M's, and Kelly Steele. This is before your big matches at Victory Explosion X. Are you going to hold back tonight in preparation for those matches, or are you hoping to leave the opposition injured before the big show.

Erica: Have you been reading our playbook? Elevation is the best stable in women's wrestling. It was in EBW, and it is now. We don't do anything in half measures. We're going all out tonight, and we're going to leaving them on the mat before VEX.

Tracy: M's, I claimed to love you once, but now I'll love to see you in a pool of your own blood. Kelly Steele, I'll personally wrap your prized guitar around your head. Paula, you should NEVER have come back.

Valarie Dorado: It's our time now. This is where wrestling is going. Elevation will reign.

Kaie: I have to watch tonight, but I'll be chomping at the bit to get my hands on them and on Sunny Malibu at Victory Explosion X. My prediction for both encounters? Pain.

-Elevation faced off with returning EBW Legend Paula, Lady M's, and Kelly Steele in 6-Woman action. Kaie was in the Buddy Box, shouting at the opposition from the outside, meaning she was too distracted to see Sunny Malibu climb in behind her to pick a fight. The raucous environment lead to a fun match, but despite 2 refs now watching the ring, Elevation still managed to pull out the dirty tricks, with Tracy racking the eyes of her sister in law and hitting the TikTak to score the pin with the assist of Erica knocking Paula's foot off the ropes. Real Steele kept fighting after the bell, with Kelly holding Tracy for M's to hitting the Rolling M's. Erica quickly escaped, clutching onto her belt as M's and Steele helped up Paula. M's made sure she was alright and launched through the ropes onto Erica, catching the Lady Renegades' champ by surprise. Security had to pull them apart. The history between Erica and M's is leading up to this. Erica vs. Lady M's for the Lady Renegades Championship at Victory Explosion X.

The Angel Residence

Tack Angel suddenly sneezes in the tub.

Amy Angel: Bless you.

Tack Angel: Thanks. Tracy must have used the TikTak. I sneeze every time she uses the TikTak or whenever someone is talking about me somewhere.

Amy Angel: You're just made of Edo tropes aren't you sweetie?

Smart Brain Arena - Parking Garage

In the Parking Garage, Derek Mach is dousing several vehicle in gasoline while Mr. Gouji and Fenrir look on.

Derek Mach: They will all feel Undeth tonight. The wrath of Fenrir.

Mr. Gouji: Do you mind if I park my car outside of the garage first?

Derek Mach: This place, it is useless to me. It doesn't me anything, none of this does. We'll leave it burning in cinders before the night I put my cousin down.

Mr. Gouji: Yeah, that's your plan alright. Seriously though, it's right there and-

Suddenly the door to the garage started to slowly open. Trevor Mach was standing there, ready to impose his will. However, the door jammed about halfway up.

Trevor Mach: ....Well dammit.

Derek Mach: Trevor? Is that you cousin?

Trevor Mach: Damn right it is....just...just hang on. I'm going to roll under here and...*sniff sniff* Is that gasoline?

Derek Mach: It is.

Trevor Mach: And with a spark you're gonna light the biggest fire we've ever seen?

Derek Mach: You know my plan already?

Trevor Mach: Problem with it is that you're in there, and I'm out here....with a lighter. A *click click* A *click click* A *click click click click* burning lighter!

Derek Mach: You wouldn't.

Trevor Mach: I might.

Mr. Gouji: Look, I don't get why you two want to actually kill each other so much! This is wrestling! You can't make money with actual death....that I've figured out yet anyways.

Trevor Mach: We come from Celtland Gouji. Half the family is protestant and the other half catholic.....this was always going to get bloody.

Derek Mach: I suppose I could wait to burn this place down, until after you are gone. The important thing is that the world sees you beaten and crushed. This was just going to amuse me. Trevor, count your days. Treasure every second. Your time is running out.

Trevor Mach: Maybe I have a little more than you. *drops lighter*

Mr. Gouji: RUUUUUUN!

The flames erupt in the garage, with Gouji and Fenrir backing out of the room. Derek stood there laughing, as Trevor rolled under the door and faced his cousin. They stood in the flames staring as the sprinkler system safely put out the flames.

-Poo and the Havok HOO Jeff Andonuts were back in tag action, as they faced Clash Champion Bashin Dan and Benjamin. A legends vs. New Wave match that would set the pace for the 6-Man battle at Victory Explosion X. Great match, with Poo showing that he was still very competitive, hitting the Starstorm OMEGA on Benjamin to score the pin.

-The Demon is battling Royal Crown Champion Dragon Shiryu at Victory Explosion X, but he challenged Camilo Ortega to a match on Xcite just days before that fight. No one could really guess what The Demon's plan was here, but it became obvious at the bell. Camilo Ortega is a righteous man, but one that carries a heavy burden of guilt for what he's done in the past, especially with his feud with Firebrand X. The Demon used this, pretending to be a freed Firebrand X throughout the match and even injuring himself to try and get Ortega to stop him, trapping him in vicious holds and putting the hurt on Camilo. The referee tried to stop him, but The Demon locked in the Hell Claw and refused to let go, using his other hand to Hell Claw the referee, leading to the DQ. Dragon Shiryu came out and forced The Demon to let go. The Demon approached Shiryu, but the Ring Saint and Royal Crown Champion summoned his Gold Armor again, which shined brightly and scared off The Demon once again. The forces of light and darkness will collide on Victory Explosion X.

-Main event time, as the members of Pentaverate, Fenrir, and Mullet Club, along with Amigo, Degrees, and Jackson Kain all entered the ring for a Battle Royale. In place of Tack Angel, was Trevor Mach dressed as Tack Angel, complete with Sailor Jupiter love pillow. Jeff Andonuts tried to stop him from getting into the ring, but he joined his Mullet Club brothers against the other teams. This basically played out like you would expect with all three teams working together. One by one the field was thinned out. Mike and Mach were eliminated at the same time while taking out Poison Jam and Dogma Mask with help from Grind. It took all of the Pentaverate to eliminate Ishihiro Tomo, but not without Tomo-Kun taking Maniac out with him. Grind was tossed out by Razorblade in a gruesome scene because of the hard thud that could be heard. He thought he did the same to Amigo, but the World Warrior held onto the ropes. Razorblade and Kishin Kid teamed up to get the better of Kain, with Degrees fighting them both with the heart of a would be champion, until finally getting taken out himself. As they celebrated, Kishin Kid tried to throw Razorblade out of the ring, but Blade turned the tables and tossed the Kid out. As the two argued, Amigo rolled back into the ring and flipped Razorblade over the top, capping off the night with the big win. The World Warrior pointed at the Victory Explosion X sign, because that's what you do on the go-home show before the big event. Amigo stands tall just days before Victory Explosion X.

The Angel Residence

The Angels now sit in very cold water.

Tack Angel: ....We've got to get out of here...my hands...they're so pruny. At least Christina is with your mother tonight.

Amy Angel: No, actually she was home and down for a nap. But that was....hours ago.

Tack Angel: Oh no! Christina!

Tack Angel rams the door open with his shoulder to find Lady M's eating leftover pizza with Christina in a high chair.

Tack Angel: Tali?!

Lady M's: Naked Tack...that's my cue to jump off the balcony.

Tack Angel: Huh? AH!

The night before the biggest event in the history of EBW-Havok, and you're too worried you'll miss it, so you're home on a Saturday Night, and that means it's time for Havok's C-Show The Clash! Footage was shown of the big Pre-VE Press Conference, with the weigh ins and final words from the Renegades and Lady Renegades before the big day. Something odd for Havok happened. Nobody was put in the hospital, and a perfectly good table stood tall all night. Seriously, no one went through it! Smart Brain runs a tight non table smashy ship when they want to.

-El Mago returned to face Los Tiburon in a match that is hopefully going to bring back a resurgence of the lucha style that waned after a war with Undeth ended badly. The magic man pulled out all the stops for VE Weekend, disappearing in a cloud of smoke when Los Tiburon had him trapped in a Camel Clutch, to a neat trick in which Los Tiburon pulled off his mask late in the match to reveal himself as El Mago, with Tibruon somehow in El Mago's costume. When did the change happen? How did it happen? The grappling madman spent little time questioning the tricks of El Mago, as he proceeded to take Mago down with the Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker and went to the top with a Head Butt before the 1-2-3.  

-Hildbrand Manderville debuted today, as he took on VE bound Slam Master Jam. The gentleman with the monocle versus the b-baller turned wrestler. What an odd combination, making for an odd match. Manderville posed and flexed to the crowd before a single move, proving himself the definite showman. SMJ came off the top with a Double Axe Handle on the much larger man, and used his vertical leap to cut him down to size. Hildebrand finally countered with a spearing type pick up slam called the Battle Sword, which is plain Eaglish for Hildebrand, so yeah, guy is really into himself. He hit a dead lift German Suplex on Slam Master Jam which lead to the 2-Count. The baller rebounded (I'm SO funny) and came back with the Slam Jam on the unwitting Hildebrand, leading to a clean and impressive victory for Slam Master Jam.

-Benjamin and Neptunus looked to be an interesting match, with the "Master of Ocean" winning his debut the week before in a very well typed out and descriptive match. This week the VE bound knight and the Sea King went right at it. The moment the bell rang Benjamin went in for the Spear while Neputunus went for the Trident....basically the same move. They collided head first and were both knocked out. Ref did the 10 count, and long story short, Benjamin goes to VE with a headache and no memory of the night before.

-Main event time with the also VE bound Clash Champion Bashin Dan taking on Rains, on the C-Show...where he belongs. It's just really really great that he's not in the main event of Victory Explosion. I mean, no one likes the guy at all. In a group of three, he is widely considered the worst. He can't wrestle and he can't talk. For SOME reason Good News Gary saw him as THE GUY because he liked his look and that's literally all it took. It's ridiculous! Oh right, Dan retained after the stupid fist cocking thing backfired, but you know what I'm saying right? Thank GOD Rains isn't in the main event of Victory Explosion X.

This is it! The moment of truth! In 2006, EBW was formed. Following the hype of a few kids who saved the world in 199X, EBW became a sensation. They traveled from city to city until they based themselves in Onett. After Onett's destruction they moved to Fourside. Through wars in and out of the ring EBW and WAR merged to become Havok. Havok has moved to Saturn City and that brings us to 10 years of wrestling. From humble beginnings to now. All the changes in scenery and style. The wrestlers who became Renegades who have come and gone. Those who are still here, fighting better than ever. The women who have fought to save women's wrestling and make it what it is today. The culmination of years of hard work. All the pain, all the joy, and all the bloodshed. 10 years. 10 years that have changed the world. This is our Victory. Victory Explosion X!

The fireworks set off in the sold out Saturn Dome. Filled to capacity, Renegades from all over the world flocked to celebrate 10 Years of Victory! Millions would be watching from around the world on Havok Battle Network, Pay Per View, Cloud Sports in Foggyland, and Shogun TV in Edo. Havok has touched many of these places, and left some of them in flames, but most of Havok was REALLY sorry about that part. In the crowd, various veterans were seen, like Franky and Captain Strong. As Strong was ordering a hotdog, Franky stole his soda. Strong attempted to beat Franky with a baton, but security him away. Biggs and Wedge, the Red Shirt Security were seen sitting next to Biggs and Wedge from CTW, in an awkward scene. Orange Kid and Apple Kid, EBW's first true tag team, and now members of the Board of Directors were also in the crowd to watch the show. Maurice was outside trying to scalp tickets. Mondo Mole and Titanic Ant tried to get seats, but they couldn't fit. Rains was seen in catering, eating lunch meat, where he belongs. Past, Present, and Future was colliding in a non-time compression way, and it made for an awesome scene. What a journey we've been on, and what a journey we're going to take. Before the event could kick off, famous singer Micheal Bolton sang the Eagleland National Anthem.

Micheal Bolton: Hey Eagleland you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind hey Eagleland. *clap clap clap clap* Hey Eagleland. THANK YOU!

-The opening match for Victory Explosion X would see Paula, Kelly Steele, and Sunny Malibu take on Elevation in 6-Woman action. Opening the show directly with Lady Renegades was a big show of support that the brand is growing and gaining steam. Sunny Malibu has been struggling, but her feud with Kaie has lit a fire under her. The former Lady Renegades Champion was getting overwhelmed by Sunny, who almost ended the match early with a Wave Runner on the Stoic Warrior. The Lady Renegades Tag Champions were focused of Paula, wanting to renew the rivalries of the past, with Tracy specifically targeting her sister-in-law. Paula held her own, but the highlight of the match was Kelly Steele, who is continuing to kill it in this growing brand. She escaped an attempted armbreaker from Valarie, before coming back with the Shredding Backbreaker to roll her up for the pin, Paula's team captured the win, and the original women's wrestler for EBW is officially back and ready for new challenges.

A highlight video aired for the next match, showing Ness in the ring for the first time in Onett, battling the likes of Pokey Minch. His evolution from the first champion, to leader of Metal Rush and beyond. The silent protagonist found his voice, but now he's back to basics. Though a little older, he still rocks the striped t-shirt and shorts like a boss.

-The next match would obviously be the EBW vs. New Wave 6-Man Tag. Clash Champion Bashin Dan, Benjamin, and Slam Master Jam, members of the New Wave that's changing Havok, made their way out to a big response, but that was nothing compared to the entrance for Ness, Poo, and Havok HOO Jeff Andonuts. A battle between past and future in about as literal of a way as it could be. As we've seen in recent weeks, the veterans still have it, and if you didn't realize that the chanting Renegades would clue you in. Ness and Bashin Dan continued the match they had that ended in a Time Limit Draw to open the contest. Poo nearly won the match for the veterans after hitting the Starstorm OMEGA on a woozy Benjamin, who was still reeling from the collision with Neptunus the previous night. However, the big shocker came when Slam Master Jam surprised the Havok HOO with the Slam Jam to score the pin and the huge win. Slam Master Jam, once looked at as the weakest of the New Wave, just scored the pin in the battle against the veterans at Victory Explosion X. The veterans and New Wavers alike hoisted up Slam Master Jam in a show of mutual respect. Let's just hope the very next night the biggest moment in his life isn't ruined in some way. Yes, that IS a reference to that company Tali, and I'm sorry I can't help it. They screwed over Long Island Iced Z one too many times.

Another video package aired, showing all the wars that have been fought in the EBW and Havok rings. The conflict with WAR that lead to the formation of Havok, the escalation of wrestling. The clip changed to the territory wars of Edo that left some of it in flames. For some reason they chose to use those sequences to announce that Havok would be heading back to Edo after Victory Explosion X for the Royal Crown Cup, which is weird because the title is no longer an annual thing. I guess that means Dragon Shiryu will up against serious odds in Edo. Speaking of Dragon Shiryu...

-The next match was for more than just a win, it was a battle for the very soul of Firebrand X. Dragon Shiryu and Camilo Ortega both battled for the right to this match. Ortega lost, but got a match with The Demon anyways, and it was there that he learned why he wasn't fit for the match, when he could stand the Demon injuring himself thereby injuring Firebrand. Dragon Shiryu sought to save Firebrand, thinking he is possessed by Hades. The match itself would be a struggle of wills, and a test of strength. Shiryu brought his Golden Armor, a gift of Athena to battle the Lord of the Underworld, which gave him the advantage, as the shine of the armor kept the Demon at bay and allowed Shiryu to go on the offensive. The Demon came back hard, gouging the eyes of Shiryu and leaving them bloody. The Golden Ring Saint couldn't see, which I hope is temporary because we don't need even more blind wrestlers. Shiryu swung wildly, but The Demon was able to outmaneuver him at every turn, kicking and chopping him to his knees. The blood thirsty Demon finally spoke.

The Demon: Pathetic! You, wearing this armor like it makes you a hero. You're not hero! You can't stop the hatred and anger that courses through me! You were right, I AM HADES REBORN! You can't stop me though. You're no Golden Ring Saint. YOU'RE MERELY A BRONZE!

Dragon Shiryu: NOOOOO! ROZAN SHORYU-HA!

The blinded Shiryu flew up with incredible force as he hit the Rozan Shoryu-Ha, sending The Demon flying into the turnbuckle and onto the mat. Dragon Shiryu stood over The Demon, who got back up to his knees. The Demon suddenly verbally submitted. The Demon had been vanquished and Firebrand X had regained control. Camilo Ortega rushed into the ring to help Shiryu and Firebrand X to their feet. Ortega handed X his mask, and Firebrand put it back on, symbolizing his return and the defeat of the Demon inside.

-The Havok World Tag Team Championships were lowered over the ring, as the teams were introduced for the Ladder Match that the Eagleland Males practically asked for, when they interfered in the #1 Contender match. I mean what were they expecting? No match at all? This would be a big moment for Severide and Johnny Starbound, two call ups that were immediately thrust into the spotlight, both very impressive members of the 3rd Wave. They would be joined by Danger Maximum and SWORD. Good News Gary attempted to trade out Nosan for Rains before the match, but it was not to be, thankfully. An out of control war that showed the Eagleland Males having to rely on their skills and experience without the help of the Pentaverate. Several ladders were added to the match to the delight of the Renegades, and those ladders were used for more than just climbing, with Saxon and Novus using a ladder to push SWORD out of the ring, while LG Rod tried to catapult RnK towards the titles, but the physics were all wrong for it, sending RnK right into the climbing Johnny Starbound. Saxon tried to use the ladder like a propeller, but Severide punched it down and knocked him out, sending him falling into the ladder that Novus was using to try and grab the title belts. An insane tag showcase. Late in the match, Severide was punching down the teams as Johnny Starbound went for the title. Saxon climbed one of the turnbuckles and leaped onto ladder, knocking off Starbound and allowing him to grab the titles from right above Severide. The Eagleland Males somehow survived the encounter, successfully defending the Havok World Tag Team Championships.

- An action packed 4-Way match featured Grind and Tomo-kun of Mullet Club, Dogma Mask of Fenrir, and Maniac of the Pentaverate. A highly exciting action packed battle, featuring hard hits and a clashing of styles. Tomo-kun was dominating like the monster he is, but Dogma and Maniac joined forces to curb him and toss him through the announce table, a move that would normally keep a man down, but it just made Tomo madder. Maniac has been on a role and looked to keep the pace going, but Grind was the one to score the ultimate win, hitting a Rolling SSP on Dogma Mask right after Maniac hit the Sliced Bread #2, leading to a roll up and the pin. Grind got the big win on a Fenrir member on the big stage, a redeeming moment for the Jet Setter, who is back in business after tonight.

-The Havok Trios Championship was on the line next, as the Weekend Wrecking Crew made their entrance with the band Loverboy playing "Working for the Weekend". The three were dressed as male strippers, dancing for dollars on the way to the ring as they went out to face the Anahuac Heroes, the best luchadors in the game. Another clash of styles and an exciting battle. Erik Stone made the New Wave proud as the only rep in the match, even though he was wrestling with dollars in his supposedly male appropriate thong. PT's Eagleland Flag thong got him a big reaction with the ladies, even as Los Tiburon took him down with the Death Valley Driver and nearly captured the win and the titles. Kinniku Mike made the save and ran through the luchadors before tagging a recovered PT back in to hit the Mustache Ride on Hex III and rolling him up for the 1-2-3! Weekend Wrecking Crew survives and successfully defends the titles. The Anahuac team looked good in defeat, and promised after the match that they wouldn't give up, and would continue bringing sweet lucha action to Havok.

-The title matches continue, as Makoto Kusaka puts the Television Championship on the line against rival and former champion Takumi Inui. Takumi was on the fast track to the main event with a winning streak, strong TV title reign, and an explosive move set. Kusaka's campaign against Smart Brain put Takumi right in the crosshairs, even though he had no idea why. A lot of emotions running high in this one. Kusaka flashed a devilish smile as Takumi flicked his wrist and charged at the bell. A very strike heavy match, with Kusaka firing back and hitting a flying forearm that knocked Takumi to the ground. He set up for the Gold Smash, but Takumi ducked it and came back around with the Heart Punch. It floored Kusaka for the first pin attempt. 1-2-KICKOUT! Kusaka hit a low blow and fought back, this time nailing the Gold Smash. 1-2-KICKOUT! Takumi survived the Gold Smash. A frustrated Kusaka backed up for another Gold Smash, but Takumi was ready and caught Kusaka with the Crimson Smash as Kusaka was airborne. A fantastic spot that lead to the pin attempt. 1-2-3! Takumi Inui won the match and recaptured the Havok Television Championship! The Renegades went wild as Inui hoisted up the title. A big win for the New Waver and now 2-Time Television Champion. The New Wave's big impact on the sport is definitely being felt tonight.

-The story between Tack Angel and Kishin Kid has had many twists and turns. That lead to this night, where Tack Angel would put his career on the line against purging his legacy from the New Epic. Kishin Kid promised to end the Pushpin Seraphim, while Tack Angel has said that he's for the Angel to spread his wings and fly. Kishin Kid came out first to his specialized "Legacy" version of his theme that played last year. It's a very similar situation to last year, when Kishin and Tack battled for the Havok World Champion in the main event of Victory Explosion IX in the Kyoto Dome in Edo. Would this match have a similar result? One big difference came in the form of Subculture, who was announced as the Special Referee. The blind bomber promised that his other senses would cover for his loss of sight. He was even able to detect members of the Pentaverate at ringside and prompted them to enter the Buddy Box. The match was in safe hands, and Subculture was able to somehow call it straight down the line. Kishin Kid has been stewing over losing the title for a whole year, and this was the perfect chance for payback. Kishin Kid controlled the early portion of the match, using the same moves that Tack is looking to take from him. Tack came up bleeding right away from his face. Both men took turns tossing each other out of the ring, but Kishin managed to connect with a huge flip dive to the floor. Tack ended up tossing Kid right over the barricade a short time later. Kishin eventually rose up behind the barricade and connected with a springboard forearm on the floor. They rushed back into the ring before the count out and traded hard slaps. Kishin tried to land a high kick, but Tack blocked it and hit a high kick of his own that floored Kishin Kid. 1-2-KICKOUT! Later, Kishin Kid hit a huge dive through the ropes. Kid cut off Tack and went to work on him with big chops in the corner. Tack countered and let loose with the kicks again, knocking Kishin Kid to the ground long enough for a Rider Kick attempt. The Angel flew, and time seemed to stand still, as Tack flew gracefully through the air....right until Kishin nailed him with a punch to the groin. The capacity crowd all groaned at once as Tack fell to the mat and clutched himself, fighting back the tears, Tack tried to climb back to his feet. Kishin Kid gloated and posed around the ring. He finally set up Tack for the Kishin Wings, when Tack found the strength to lift him up and over. The pain filled Tack sucked it up and trapped Kishin Kid in his big match finisher, the Heaven Driver. The collective crowd gasped as Tack clutched his wrist, making the move 10000000% more deadly. The ring shook as Tack landed the Heaven Driver with the devastating wrist clutch and went for the pin. 1-2-3! Tack Angel wins! His career survives, and Kishin Kid is stripped of Tack's legacy. After Subculture raised Tack's hand, and the Angel left the ring, Subculture tried to help up Kishin Kid. Kishin Kid pushed him away and got up on his own. When he got to his feet, he started pushing around Subculture. This brought Maniac and the Eagleland Males into the ring. Kishin ordered them to attack, but they turned to face him instead. Subculture then removed his shades, grinned, and winked at Kishin Kid, revealing that he could in face see again. Kishin was so surprised he didn't see the KO Punch coming. The New Epic was blasted to the mat and stomped by Maniac and the Eagleland Males. Subculture then removed his shirt to show off a Pentaverate t-shirt that he was wearing underneath. He and the others continued to attack until Tack Angel ran down to the ring to drag Kishin Kid away, saving him from the attack. What a shocking twist, with Subculture getting his sight back and apparently joining the Pentaverate?

-The Lady Renegades were back in action next, with the Lady Renegades Championship on the line. Erica and Lady M's have quite the history. Erica was originally a big fan of M's, and looked to carry on the legacy that she began, but Erica had other intentions. She held onto the Sparkle World Championship for over a year, and held it hostage during Sparkle's down time. She was a big part of its closure, and now she is holds the title hostage in Havok, with Elevation to back her up. Elevation wouldn't be able to stop this match from happening though, and after a long time, Lady M's has returned to top form, ready to reclaim the championship. Erica and M's slowly walked around the ring before locking up to set the tone for a lengthy battle. M's landed an early elbow attack rocking Erica, sending her recoiling to the ring apron. M's wanted another elbow strike against the ropes, but Erica moved and landed a flying elbow from the second rope for a two count. Erica then put M's in a guillotine choke, but the Lady broke free, though she looked a little staggered. She ended up on the floor and hobbled to the turnbuckle to shake the cobwebs out. M's was able to snap off a precise belly-to-back side suplex. Both women came to their feet and tried simultaneous dropkicks, then simultaneous forearms. Suddenly, Erica dropped M's to the mat and applied a submission working on M’s throat. The guillotine choke may have damaged M's windpipe, as it looked like she was having trouble breathing. Suddenly, M's snapped back into action and dropped Erica to the mat with a cross arm-breaker. They went back and forth trading submissions as Erica showed some heelish tendencies, deciding she had to bring something extra to match M’s power and viciousness if she wanted to hold onto the title. A lot of 1 counts with surprisingly no near falls. Erica attempted to take M's down with one of her own moves, trying the Sexy Strong Stunner, but M's pushed her off and came back with an elbow that staggered the champ. M's then showed Erica how it was done with the Sexy Strong Style that popped Erica right back up on impact. M's quickly wheeled around with the Rolling M's that clocked out Erica and lead to the 1-2-3! Lady M's again claims the Lady Renegade's Championship. Both husband Trevor Mach and tag partner Kelly Steele ran out to celebrate with M's, while Erica had to be pulled away by the other beaten members of Elevation. The three in the ring embraced in the ring before Lady M's grabbed a mic.

Lady M's: This title, this is for you Hope. I've held open the door for you. I've kept the division and the brand alive, so you can show me once and for all that it's the real deal and it's worth my time. I gotta tell you though, it's great winning the gold at Victory Explosion again. It's been a long road, and I needed to figure out who I was and where I stood. I know who I am now. I'm the Lady Renegades Champion. As for the two of you here with me. Trevor. Kelly Steele. I'm take em both. I'm hardcore!

Trevor Mach: Eh?

Kelly Steele: Take what now?

Lady M's then planted a big kiss on Trevor, before planting a big kiss on Kelly Steele, much to her surprise. Trevor looked confused, staring back and forth at the two women until it all clicked into place. The Renegades erupted in cheers, but Mach and Steele were still both very confused. They followed M's to the back where Trevor was stopped by Jeff Andonuts.

Jeff Andonuts: Whoa! Trevor! Where are you going?

Trevor Mach: Huh?

Jeff Andonuts: Your fight. Aren't you supposed to be fighting Derek now? An Unsanctioned Fight?

Trevor Mach: Oh yeah! Heh, I was so caught up in....well whatever this is.

Lady M's: Go kick his ass Trevtastic, we won't start without you.

Kelly Steele: What aren't we starting without him?

Trevor Mach: Haha! Jeff, I have no idea what the hell is going on right now, but I think I like it.

Jeff Andonuts: Yes yes...degeneracy at its finest. You know, you were this crude when you wore the robe and hat all the time. We were friends then.

Trevor Mach: Aren't we still?

Jeff Andonuts: You...you still think of me as a friend?

Trevor Mach: Of course! We've been through hell and back. I'd do anything for you buddy!

Jeff Andonuts: Great! Then would you PLEASE sign this form officially waving us of any responsibility if you in fact get killed out there tonight?

Trevor Mach: Haha! No. Psht!

Jeff Andonuts: Oh...*sigh* alright then.

Trevor Mach: Hey, you guys at Smart Brain brought this on yourself.

Jeff Andonuts: But what happens if Derek does do what he says he's going to do tonight!

Trevor Mach: Then you tell him I'll see him in hell!

Jeff Andonuts: Uh...alright then...guess I could say heck. Wait...why did I remind him of the fight? I could have just let him go.

Poo: It's because you're a good man....you always have been.

Ness: *nod*

-The following....fight...wouldn't be a match in the official sense. Trevor Mach lost the vision in his right eye, and wasn't medically cleared to compete, but he demanded that Derek Mach, leader of Fenrir, and cause of more of Trevor's problems, meet him at Victory Explosion X regardless for a straight up, no rules fight. A dark and ominous fog filled the Dome. The lights flashed red, black, purple, and white. Random, loud, and chaotic noises filled the Dome as well, the sounds of pain and anguish. The sounds became clear, the victims of Derek Mach, screaming out his name, louder and louder until darkness. Then the lights came back on and Derek Mach was already in the ring. In contrast, Trevor Mach came out to his rockin' 80's theme, rolling out on his moped in a comical scene. Mach entered the ring, shooting a one eyed gaze at Derek as he snapped his eye patch on and posed directly at his cousin, showing no fear. No referee and no ring bell, this was just about violence, and this is what they delivered. Derek chuckled one second and then angrily forced Mach into the corner and let loose with the hard punches, Trevor took the hits and punched back hard. This was definitely more a fight then any kind of match. Derek immediately made things too brutal for the kids in the crowd, jamming a chunk of his void mask into Trevor's forehead, getting stuck and causing him to bleed profusely. The happy go lucky mood he was in before was replaced with rage, as he gouged at Derek's eyes and punched away at his cousin. Trevor owned the ring until Derek jammed his face into the turnbuckle, driving the wedge into his head even further. Blood was pouring as this point, but Trevor responded with a headbutt using the shard that sliced open Derek several times. Back and forth violence all the way. Derek grabs Trevor by the throat, trying to choke and kill him by the looks of things. The choke turned into the Hell Claw, while Trevor continued to gouge at Derek's eyes, looking to pay him back. An eye for an eye as it were. Hehe. Both men were bleeding, but not relenting. They both screamed out loud in pain, with Trevor biting down on Derek's fingers to escape the Hell Claw. He forced Derek to the mat and pounded his head against the mat over and over, before ground and pounding over and over. He yelled as he jumped to his feet and demanded that Derek get up. The former Void got up with the two yelling at each other and striking repeatedly. Derek started to laugh so Trevor laughed right back before lifting Derek up for the Burning Machismo. Derek hit the mat hard, but immediately tried to get back up, so Trevor ran off the ropes and his the Macha Ye. Derek tried to get back up again only to eat another Macha Ye, and then another, and then another. Derek got to his knees one last time, but this time looking beaten and broken. He acknowledged Trevor as being the true monster before eating one last Macha Ye. For good measure, Trevor rolled Derek Mach up. Jeff Andonuts sent out a referee who counted the 1-2-3 for good measure. Trevor Mach won the fight against his cousin, and has stopped Fenrir in its tracks. A huge victory, for Mach, with the demons of the past finally being vanquished. After the match, Tommy Dukes ran out.

Tommy Dukes: Congratulations Trevor! You've beaten Derek in a bloody bloody fight, and stopped Fenrir. You've literally defeated your demons. What are the thoughts running through your mind right now?

Trevor Mach: I....I really wish this would have been a match and not a fight, so I could've gotten paid. These medical expenses are coming out of my own pocket. Can I get this shard out of my head? Might as well call me Punished Mach over here. Hey Derek, don't ever come back. You're done. You're still alive. Consider it mercy cousin. BOOSH!

-The next match was the semi-main event, and a battle a long time coming. Hope Mach is literally the Hope for the division, but Ripper Jane tried to ruin it all. Playing mind games for well over a year, Ripper Jane got involved with Hope's father, integrated herself in Hope's career, and turned on her, taking her hearing in the process. Hope has sworn revenge, promising she wouldn't have her hearing restored until she beat Ripper Jane. That lead to this epic clash. The previous fight was a hard act to follow, but in the No Rules environment, they did their damnedest. Ripper Jane seemed shaken by the losses of Derek and Fenrir in general, but now had ending Hope's career as her one goal left. Ripper Jane tried to take Hope apart, but the mega over Hope took the best that Ripper Jane had on this night and came back strong, lifting her rival up for the Olympic Slam to a massive pop from the crowd. Hope thought about pinning there, but instead flipped Ripper Jane over and locked in the Ankle. Ripper Jane fought and screamed to get to the ropes. She did her absolute best to try and get to the ropes, but to no avail. Eventually she had no choice but to tap out, causing a massive eruption from the Renegades in the Dome. Fenrir was soundly defeated on this night, with Hope Mach hitting the killing blow. The Lady Renegades all came out to celebrate, hoisting up Hope as she reveled in the victory.

-Main event time, as the three beacons of the New Wave and the World Warrior would all do battle for the Havok World Championship. Razorblade made history, but now his rival, the former champ, and the good Doctor would all vie for the title and glory at the main event of the 10th Anniversary.  The crowd was jacked at the start of the match. From the moment the bell sounded, the action was frantic and frenzied. So many different kinds of exciting matches up to this point made for several tough acts to follow, but four of the best in the sport lived up to the main event spot. Match started when Jackson Kain ran across the ring to dropkick Razorblade. Amigo watched, then tried a powerbomb, but Degrees helped counter it with a huracanrana that sent Amigo stumbling across the ring and through the ropes to the floor, showing that their would be no love lost between the friends in this match. Amigo and Blade spilled to the floor and battled ringside. The match moved into the ring for Jackson Kain and Degrees to battle while Razorblade tried to rest at ringside, but couldn't get away from the World Warrior. Mid-match, Razorblade was clearing house and looking like the Champion he's supposed to be. Degrees tried to catch him with a PhDDT, but Razorblade escaped and floored Degrees with the Piledriver instead. 1-2-Kain makes the save! Jackson saved his friend and chopped away at Razorblade, as he backed right into Amigo, who hit the German Suplex, and almost got a pin from that. Degrees wasn't getting up. The blood was flowing and he struggled, but looked to barely be moving. EMTs rushed to get Degrees to a stretcher, distracting Kain long enough for Razorblade to hit him with a T-Bone Exploder. Amigo and Razorblade were left alone to have a good sequence with a very amateur style. Degrees was carted off to the back, with everyone showing concern while trying to keep their eyes on the intense action in the ring. Late in the match, Jackson Kain recovered and the three were battling in a live action game of rock-paper-scissors, as they continually one upped each other. The crowd erupted into cheers as Degrees ran down to the ring, ripped off his neck brace, and got right back into the thick of it. He came out like an entirely different person, showing the heart of a lion, or in his case a red falcon. Finish came with Razorblade on the outside, and Amigo and Degrees both hitting a double suplex on Jackson Kain. Amigo and Degrees stared off, with Amigo looking down at Kain and over to Razorblade, who was getting ready to rush into the match and stop the pin. Amigo looked back to Degrees before jumping over the top rope and landing on Razorblade. A confused Degrees looked back to Kain as he staggered up. He stared at Degrees and smiled. The two friends lunged at each other, with Degrees dodging the Shadow Kick and hitting the PhDDT. 1-2-3! The Renegades again erupted into huge cheers as Havok's Doctor has finally achieved his dream. He cried as he was handed the belt, with a still staggering Jackson Kain crying with him and raising his hand in a show of respect. Fireworks went off in the Dome as an enraged Razorblade blamed a laughing Amigo for costing him the title. Why did the World Warrior sacrifice his own shot at immortality though? In any case, the New Wave showcased what it can do on this night, and the good Doctor is your NEW Havok World Champion.

Saturn Dome - Parking Lot

Trevor Mach and Tack Angel are standing by Mach's recently returned Motorcycle. Two soldiers of many ring wars, coming together to talk about the pact they started one year ago.

Tack Angel: I've decided. After all of this, that I'm staying. I want to create an even bigger legacy. I want to be better than I have ever been. I want to think that my peak is still ahead of me. This is far from the end. This is a new beginning.

Trevor Mach: That's great man, that's really great.

Tack Angel: What about you?

Trevor Mach: I don't know. Things are good with Tali, and I couldn't be prouder of Hope. You didn't do too bad yourself bro.

Tack Angel: Thanks, but what about your end of the pact? You're staying right?

Trevor Mach: Honestly? I think I'm ready for a new adventure.

Tack Angel: What? Really?

Trevor Mach: I've been here so long Tack. I don't know what the future holds for me, I intend to find out on my own terms. I'm going to get on this bike and ride off into the sunset on Havok I think. Maybe this war was my last.

Tack Angel: Wow, I can't...I can't believe it. A year ago today I would have thought this would have been different for both of us.

Trevor Mach: Dude, you just never know. I'm out of here. Later bro.

Tack Angel: ...Later bro.

The two bro fisted before Trevor Mach revved up his motorcycle and rode off. Where will he go, and will we ever see him again?

Saturn Dome - Exit

Derek Mach, beaten and alone. The former face of Chaos. The leader of Undeth and Fenrir...completely defeated. He staggered as he tried to leave the arena. His blood leaving a trail on the wall. Before he could leave a figure stood before him.

?: Undeth was a failed system it seems.

Derek Mach: Who....who are you?

The figure stepped forward to reveal...

Smart Lady: Please understand, Smart Brain doesn't believe in Undeth....we believe in Rebirth.

Derek Mach: ....No....NO....AAHHHHHH!!!

Amy Angel: AH!

Tack Angel: TREVOR?!

Trevor Mach: Sup bro!

Tack Angel: But you just....you just...I saw you ride off and-

Trevor Mach: Yeah, I changed my mind.

Tack Angel: ...What?

Trevor Mach: I changed my mind. Didn't feel like it anymore. I'm good with Havok, I'll probably be here forever. Meh, whatcha gonna do?

Tack Angel: Unbelievable.....I was saving that burrito.

Trevor Mach: Like I said before....you just never know. *wink*
