Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, the Weeaboo of Havok, and BOY was that a great Victory Explosion or what?! We saw titles change hands, feuds end, new feuds begin, and the end of Fenrir! That's the best part to me personally. Fenrir was bad news, even when they were just known as Undeth, I was hoping they would be taken out. Derek Mach as Void looked to be unstoppable for a long time, but former champ Jackson Kain caused the first cracks in the armor, and last night Trevor Mach defeated his cousin and the personal demons he's been fighting for over 10 years! Tack Angel overcame Kishin Kid and ensured that his career will continue. Both Angel and Mach have decided that they're just getting started in Havok, so the retirement talks have thankfully been put to rest. Kishin Kid's night got worse when Subculture revealed himself as the newest member of the Pentaverate. He revealed that he can see again, and did so by clocking the New Epic. Tack Angel made the save, showing that decency that has made him such a fan favorite all these years. We didn't see Family Man Tack Angel last night, we saw multi time former World Champion Tack Angel, and it was awesome. Degrees shocked the world last night, coming back from a Piledriver that had taken him out of the match to overcome Jackson Kain and pin him for the Havok World Championship that was held by Razorblade. Amigo made an odd choice to take out Razor, rather than fight Degrees over the pin. It was just a crazy night all around.

Nerma: Indeed it was Tommy, now scoot over, you're too long winded. The voice of the Renegades here, with some big updates for you. Havok is not cooling down after that hot Victory Explosion. No, we're allowing the Renegades to take a week off after that amazing show, but in that time we'll be heading to Edo for two big shows! That's right, we're invading Kyoto Hall for a very special Chaos TV! and Xcite! Chaos TV! will play host to the Royal Crown Cup, which has been modified due to the change in rules of the Royal Crown Championship. Two elimination qualifiers will lead to a #1 Contender match, followed by a title match in the main event! What we thought would be a hard night for Dragon Shiryu got a little easier, but the man who makes it all the way to the finals will have to be tough, and could easily cost the New Waver his Royal Crown prize. New Wavers and Renegades alike will be competing in the qualifiers. In fact, Trevor Mach, the first Royal Crown Champion will be taking part. Yes, it appears after his stellar performance at Victory Explosion, he has been cleared to compete. The man may be covered in scars by this point, but he's still competing at a top level. I just hope they managed to get that mask shard out of his forehead. Anyone else get a close look at that? It was grizzly.

Tommy Dukes: Alright, now who's being long winded! You know Tack hates long blocks of text.

Nerma: What?

Tommy Dukes: Nevermind. Speaking of Tack though, he will be facing Kota Hayashi in a Havok vs. D2T match on the show, while new Lady Renegades Champion Lady M's will lead a team against Elevation, while Hope Mach will take on Rose Mulligan. Adding to that, Noah Jennings had announced that he's issuing an open challenge, to prove that he should have been on the Victory Explosion card. I guess we'll see about that. Don't miss that show, and make sure not to miss Xcite either, as it will feature the new Havok World Champion Degrees in action with Jackson Kain and Amigo against Razorblade and the Eagleland Males. Edo native Takumi Inui will also defend his newly won Television Championship against Slam Master Jam, who is being looked at in a new light after his win at Victory Explosion X. These shows are packed! We're going to take a much needed week to recover, but don't worry, we've got plenty of reruns of Cops and Quantum Leap to keep you occupied.

Jeff Andonuts: Wait! No! Don't tell them that! We have plenty of other programming too ya know! Please, we need to keep the ratings up! Tell you what, I'm going to book two shows this week to keep things interesting! The Clash will air twice this week to fill the void! One will feature the Renegades and the other will feature the Lady Renegades! In fact, I-

Tess: Allow me to take over Jeff.

Nerma: Wow, it's getting crowded in here.

Tess: The Lady Renegades WILL have the second Clash this week, and it will host the second Empress Tournament. Don't thank me for this idea, that idea came from the newest hire to the division. She's not a competitor though. This ring veteran is going to be booking the action while I handle more of the money side of our brand. Introducing....Bloody Rose.

Bloody Rose: This brand...it needs work. Those ladies showed me something last night, but I want more, and I'm going to get more out of them. Women's wrestling does not play second fiddle to men's wrestling. The Empress Tournament will determine Lady M's first challenger. Erica does NOT get an instant rematch. I want to see this match earned, not guaranteed. That is all.

Tommy Dukes: This all sounds great! Can I get out though? I'm getting really claustrophobic in here.

Alley in Saturn City

Dragon Shiryu is meeting up with Camilo Ortega, as they approach Firebrand X, who is sitting on some boxes looking into a puddle on the ground.

Camilo Ortega: My friend, it's good to see you again.

Firebrand X: ....It's good to be seen again...I was riding coach in my own body for too long.

Dragon Shiryu: That demon....Hades....he overwhelmed you, but we were able to stop it.

Firebrand X: I give you my thanks Shiryu. You didn't have to get involved, but you chose to, and you got me out. I'm not big on friends, but in recent years I've learned the value of them. I would be honored to consider you one.

Dragon Shiryu: Likewise.

Camilo Ortega: Now that it's over, we can refocus back on our careers. It's been awhile since I've competed for a title, I'm going to try and get back on my path in Edo.

Firebrand X: Good idea. Good luck Camilo.

Camilo Ortega: Are you alright?

Firebrand X: ....I misjudged you...back then...me and Arremer both. You put everything on hold to help me.

Camilo Ortega: That's what friends are for right?

Firebrand X: Right.

Camilo Ortega: We were about to head off. Going to get an early start to Edo. Want to come?

Firebrand X: Yeah...just....just give me a little bit. I'll meet you at the airport.

Camilo Ortega: Alright. See you there.

As they left, Firebrand looked back down at the puddle. Though he was wearing his signature mask again, the reflection was that of The Demon.

Firebrand X: You.

The Demon: That was certainly a fun time. Looking forward to doing it again.

Firebrand X: That's never happening. Ever again. I relied on you too much. I'm powerful enough on my own.

The Demon: Then why were you trapped inside while I ran the show?

Firebrand X: Because I let you. I wanted to have the aggression I needed to win again, and I made the mistake of letting you have free reign. I used to be able to control you, but this time, this time you controlled me.

The Demon: And I will do it again and again. I am the "Lord of the Underworld" after all.

Firebrand X: You made them think you were Hades? Why?

The Demon: Why not? They wanted to think I was something, so I lead them on. We both know that's not the case though. I'm just the darkness, rage, and hatred in your heart. I'm the worst parts of you that you want buried deep inside. I figured it would be fun to play along. We both know who they actually want. We spent enough time in Zodiac to spot Shiryu's actual target. He's been there the whole time. I wonder how long it takes them to put 2 and 2 together. Hahaha!

Firebrand X: STOP LAUGHING!

The Demon: LET ME OUT!

Firebrand X: No. You have no power over me anymore, and you never will again.

The Demon: Then why are you still talking to yourself?

Firebrand X: To say goodbye. You're done. Do you hear me? DO YOU HEAR ME?! YOU'RE DONE!

Firebrand X looked down and saw the mask reflecting in the puddle.

Kinniku Mike's Pancakes and Ass

The day after Victory Explosion X, Kinniku Mike held the Grand Opening of his new Restaurant/Strip Club called Kinniku Mike's Pancakes and Ass...naturally.

Kinniku Mike: Welcome everyone to my house of Pancakes and Ass! Here, you and your Strong Tits will get to enjoy an assortment of Pancakes, as these lovely ladies dance for you. Remember to tip them in the thong, but NOT the waitresses. I've already had to take SEVERAL courses on harassment for this. While I say Uuuuu! you'll say Mmmmmm! when you have some of our delicious pancakes. Enjoy!

Later, in the restaurant, Kinniku Mike is eating pancakes, with the strippers dancing all around him. He's approached by Magnum PT.

Magnum PT: Hey Chief, this place is really packed in tonight. Congrats on the opening.

Kinniku Mike: *sigh* Yeah....it's great isn't it?

Magnum PT: What's wrong Mike?

Kinniku Mike: I'm covered in strippers eating pancakes covered in syrup. I'm a Trios Champion, and I've got my own restaurant. Yet...something is missing.

Erik Stone: I know! You're so hopped up on sex and syrup that you've become desensitized to it, now having to rely on BDSM just to get an erection, let alone feel anything.

Kinniku Mike: .....

Magnum PT: ......

Erik Stone: ...Is it just me then?

Magnum PT: I know what it is chief. You're missing out on the bigger title scene in wrestling. You're missing out on the singles gold maybe. You're a former World Champion. Maybe, when we get to Edo and you fight for the Royal Crown you can-

Kinniku Mike: Edo....EDO! That's it! Of course! I'm missing Edo babes! Those sweet sweet oriental honeys. I've got a fever, and the only cure is that sweet Edo pu-

Magnum PT: Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get our asses back to Edo. They love me there and I love them right back if you catch my drift.

Kinniku Mike: Uuuuuuuu!

Kinniku Mike and Magnum PT quickly leave, while Erik Stone turns to the strippers.

Erik Stone: So....anyone like to use whips by any chance?

Good News Gary's House

In Good News Gary's house, the walls are covered in pictures of Rains, a shrine to his champion. This makes Danny and Nosan very uncomfortable, as they sip tear from Rains shaped cups.

Good News Gary: Good News Everyone! I've got the footage ready to submit for the Best of Rains Bluray. I figured it could be called "When it Rains it Rains". What do you think?

Danny Leung: ....

Nosan: Uh....it's...say...where IS Rains?

Good News Gary: He's off buying Tater Tots. He said he has a funny joke planned for The Clash. I'm sure it's going to be fantastic. He's amazing on the mic you know. Remember that one time he winked at the camera? How about that time he cocked his fist?

Danny Leung: Dammit, I can't take this anymore. Rains is AWFUL!

Good News Gary: BLASPHEMY! REEEEEEEE!!!!

Danny Leung: It's the truth! You think he's got a good look, but even THAT sucks! I'm tired of this! I won the E1 Climax before! I've held titles! I was a main eventer! I'm still a young guy, and I want to salvage my damn career before you and Rains drag me down forever! I want to go to Edo and snuggle up on some sexy Edo Oppai, but I CAN'T because of you and Rains!

Good News Gary: REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Danny Leung: I'm out! SWORD IS OVER!

Nosan: Uh...yeah! I'm...uh...I miss my janitor job. I'm going too.

Good News Gary: REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Danny Leung: Uh...I think I broke him.

Nosan: Let's get out of here. We don't want to push him further.

Danny Leung: Yes...no push. WAIT! THAT'S WHAT GOT ME INTO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

The Mach Residence

Figures are moving around in bed. Trevor pops out of the covers and lays on the pillow. M's lays next to him smiling. Kelly Steele lays on the other side....slightly traumatized.

Kelly Steele: I uh....I...so that happened.

Lady M's: I told you it would.

Kelly Steele: I just thought you were joking! How did I let you talk me into this?

Lady M's: It's hard to resist the Mach Sandwich.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, I wasn't expecting it either. How do you keep talking me into this?!

Lady M's: It's not exactly difficult! "Hey Trevor, want to fuck me and my tag partner? A sexy handicap match if you will?"

Trevor Mach: Oh right. And the camera?

Lady M's: Oh that's for Real Steele 2. We're going to make a fortune.

Kelly Steele: You CAN'T use that!

Lady M's: I was afraid you were going to say that. Fine, I'll keep it for myself.

Kelly Steele: I uh...I don't know what to think about this. I think I should be going home. Uh...see you guys later. This is SO weird!

Trevor Mach: So that was pretty awesome.

Lady M's: They always get weirded out AFTER the fact.

Trevor Mach: Oh yeah...this HAS happened before...with RJ.

Lady M's: And both times we left them walking funny for a few days. I warned her I told you you were an ass man. Haha!

Trevor Mach: We slept with her...and then she turned evil. I slept with you...and you went crazy for a while.

Lady M's: Huh?

Trevor Mach: *gasp* My dick turns women heel! AAHHHH!!!

Lady M's: Trevor?! Where are you going?!

Trevor runs out of the apartment, down the hall, and pounds on the door of Tack Angel.

Tack Angel: What Trevor?!

Trevor Mach: AH! TACK! TACK! AHHHH!!!

Tack Angel: AH! WHAT! AH! WHAT!

Trevor Mach: MY DICK MAKES WOMEN EVIL!

Tack Angel: WHAT?!

Trevor Mach: MY DICK MAKES WOMEN EVIL! IT'S A CURSE!

Tack Angel: THAT'S CRAZY! ALTHOUGH.....Tracy.....*gasp* MY DICK TURNS WOMEN LESBIAN!

Trevor Mach: AHHHHHHH!!!!

Tack Angel: AHHHHHHH!!!!

Trevor Mach: EVIL!

Tack Angel: LESBIAN! AMY! PLEASE DON'T BE A LESBIAN!

Trevor Mach: AHHHH!!!

Tack Angel: AHHH!!!

Jeff Andonuts Office

Jeff Andonuts is sitting quietly in his office, moving a World's Best Scientist mug around on his desk, and fiddling with a pen when suddenly.

*slam!*

Jeff Andonuts: HOLY SCIENCE! What the-

Senator Nancy Peluca: Dr. Andonuts!

Jeff Andonuts: Actually, my father is Dr. Andonuts...I wasn't given a doctorate in...science...my experiments were too....out there. Wait, I know you. The last time you came barging into a Havok office we all left, packed up everything, and went to Edo. Well don't bother, because we're already-

Senator Nancy Peluca: Oh no! You're not getting away this time! The Government is very concerned, and my constituents and donors like "Man hating Marys" have had ENOUGH of your violent and misogynistic brand! You have been polluting the air with your terrible wrestling for starters, but in recent weeks, we've seen attempted murder, mutilation, bad language, recently MORE lewd sex acts from groups like the...what does this say..."Weekend Wrecking Crew", and of course the Mach Family.

Jeff Andonuts: Wrestling is violent. It's a combat sport Senator. You don't have to like it, you can just choose not to watch. As for the other stuff, I myself would love a return to the family friendly silliness of EBW, but the roster and the viewers have moved on from that unfortunately. The Weekend Wrecking Crew are made up of-

Senator Nancy Peluca: Chauvinist, woman hating misogynists, people who are actually proud of what this country was like in the 80's, and worst of all PORNSTARS! Pornstars treat women the worst!

Jeff Andonuts: I believe women are...um...adult film actresses also.

Senator Nancy Peluca: Oh yes, don't I know about that! I've heard what that Lady M's has been up to the last year or so. Live sex acts and nudity.

Jeff Andonuts: I thought that stuff was supposed to be liberating.

Senator Nancy Peluca: It was fine when she was with that Tracy girl, but getting back with that problematic Mach fellow has been nothing but a bad example for women! Engaging in 3-ways and-

Jeff Andonuts: I've been told that was her idea, though what they do in their off time in their own home is certainly none of your business.

Senator Nancy Peluca: I'm in the Government, of course it's our business! I only know about it because you have that constant 24/7 footage going, following your workers at all times!

Jeff Andonuts: It's just reality, that's what you see and what you get. Look, Trevor Mach is a deranged self-insert hedonistic egotist and M's is just....scary crazy, but that's just who they are and what they do. It's reality, and in this day and age that's what the people want.

Senator Nancy Peluca: Who cares what the people want! This isn't a democracy! Besides, you want 24/7 surveillance, you should have come to us! Our drones are superior to the Lakitu union, and can kill undesirables. What you need to do is learn how to edit "reality" to better suit the narrative.

Jeff Andonuts: What brings you here Senator?

Senator Nancy Peluca: If you want to be allowed to come back from this trip of yours, you'll sign this. It states that you promise to clean up the show and adhere to our system. Sign it right now.

Jeff Andonuts: Can I read it first?

Senator Nancy Peluca: No! You have to sign it, before you can know what's in it.

Jeff Andonuts: So like the healthcare reform?

Senator Nancy Peluca: That's it! You aren't welcome back to Eagleland! Don't even bother trying to-

*beep beep*

Jeff Andonuts: What was that?

Senator Nancy Peluca: My cell phone. Well...it seems that...Smart Brain has just made a...SIGNIFICANT bri-contribution to my re-election campaign. Never mind Andonuts, keep up the good work.

Jeff Andonuts: Oh...uh...alright. Bye then!

Senator Nancy Peluca: I don't suppose you'll be seeing me anymore after-

Kelly Steele: KABONG!

*SMASH!*

Jeff Andonuts: KELLY?! WHAT DID YOU DO!?

Kelly Steele: Smashed this damn guitar around this bitches' head!

Jeff Andonuts: WHY?! We JUST got her off our back!

Kelly Steele: Oh...well...she ran into me first. We...we exchanged words.

Jeff Andonuts: But I-

Kelly Steele: I'm not a skank Jeff! Rockers just make questionable choices!

Jeff Andonuts: I WASN'T GONNNA-

Kelly Steele: DAMN RIGHT YOU WEREN'T! PEACE OUT!

Jeff Andonuts: Uh...Degrees! Need a Doctor here!

Saturn City Airport

Takumi Inui is making his way through the busy airport, when he glances over to see Smart Lady watching him. She skips away, but Takumi follows her into a hallway.

Takumi Inui: Wait. Wait!

Smart Lady: The prodigal son will return home. Please enjoy your flight!

Takumi Inui: Stop. I need answers. Who am I?

Smart Lady: You are everything you think you are, and more. You are a product of Smart Brain, and we are very proud of you. Please feel proud of yourself.

Takumi Inui: Makoto Kusaka seems to think you all did something horrible to his classmates. He thinks I did. Why would he think that?

Smart Lady: *giggle* Please enjoy your flight.

Takumi Inui: .....

Lady M's: You want me to beat her with a crowbar?

Takumi Inui: Ah! How long have you been there?

Lady M's: I follow her when I see her. I don't trust her as far as I can throw her. So yeah, I'm going to brain her.

Takumi Inui: No please. I need answers. I hope I get them in Edo.

Jeff Andonuts Office

The HOO of Havok was placing a picture of himself and Stephen Hawking on the wall. He didn't like where it was, so he moved it slightly several times until...

*SLAM!*

Jeff Andonuts: AH! MY PICTURE!

Generator: HEY!

Hotlanta: WE'VE GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!

Jeff Andonuts: Oh hey guys! Uh...what's up?

Generator: You promised us a match!

Hotlanta: The Battle Royale remember?!

Jeff Andonuts: Uh...YEAH...I to-totally remember!

Generator: Well? We quit our jobs for this! It was going to be our comeback!

Jeff Andonuts: Alright....so...I forgot. We were overbooked to begin with and-

Hotlanta: I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him Generator!

Generator: Calm down man! Stay positive!

Hotlanta: I WAS SOMEBODY! I HELPED SAVED THE WORLD! Now I have nothing. NOTHING!

Jeff Andonuts: Hey relax! I was there with you when we saved the world! I remember that! Look, I'm sorry I screwed that up, but I have a great idea. We're sitting on some fat Smart Brain money, and I'm going to use some of it to write you two a very big check to come on as security!

Generator: Security?

Hotlanta: We would get paid to enforce and abuse the law?

Generator: And we'd work with Swift?

Hotlanta: Yeah, I can get into that.

Jeff Andonuts: Great! Just glad that wasn't Nancy again.

Havok Training Center

Before the rest of the Renegades head to Edo, a few decided to get buff at the Havok Training Center. Kelly Steele has had a hell of a week since Victory Explosion X. After winning the biggest match in her career things took an odd turn. Real Steele got REALLY real...probably too real. Kelly was kicking and punching away at a heavy bag until...

Trevor Mach: HEY!

Kelly Steele: AH!

Trevor Mach: AH! We HAVE to talk!

Kelly Steele: I think we've done a lot more than that already haven't we?

Trevor Mach: Whoa! Hang on! You seem mad! Did Tali....did she force you cause-

Kelly Steele: No! *blush* *whisper* She didn't make me do anything I didn't want to do, I just didn't think things through. Things are now....really REALLY weird!

Trevor Mach: I-I'm sorry. I didn't realize it would freak you out.

Kelly Steele: Hey, I'm not a little girl. No regrets. So don't worry, you don't have to talk to me about-

Trevor Mach: Did my dick make you evil?

Kelly Steele: Wh....what?

Trevor Mach: Nothing! Nevermind! I uh...I have to go!

Kelly Steele: Wait! This just gets weirder.

Tack Angel: Trevor! So? What did you find out?

Trevor Mach: I dunno! I dunno! I freaked out! I gotta go! We're supposed to be going to Edo, and I have to promise not to burn anything down before they'll let me have my passport back.

Tack Angel: *sigh* I guess...I guess I could just ASK Tracy.

Paula: Tack? Tack is that you? Wow, it's been so long since we've really talked. How ARE you?

Tack Angel: I am cursed. I turn women lesbian with my dick.

Paula: What? Where are you...huh...now I remember WHY we haven't spoken in so long.

Nerma: Hello Renegades, it's time for that big announcement for our Double Clash Week!

Doctor Degrees Office

The Good Doctor was busy after Victory Explosion X, not doing interviews or going to photo shoots, but instead medically clearing the Renegades and Lady Renegades before heading off for the big Double Header in Edo. He was ecstatic to have been able to medically clear Trevor Mach, but for his last patient, things were awkward.

Doctor Degress: Open your mouth and say ahhh.

Jackson Kain: Ahhhh...

Doctor Degrees: Alright. Could you scoot in closer please?

Jackson Kain: You know, this would be a lot easier if you were wearing the Havok World Championship during my exam.

Doctor Degrees: Oh right! Yes...yes of course. I'll take that off and set my World Championship aside.

Jackson Kain: It's one thing to brag buddy, but this was at my expense remember? I'm still hurting from that one.

Doctor Degrees: Sorry, it's just an incredible feeling. I haven't had the chance to do a sweeping media tour or anything, so wearing the belt to my "other job" has been my personal celebration.

Jackson Kain: I'm sorry then. I know I shouldn't be mad, because we've spent the last several months beating each other up for that belt. We let Razorblade get the better of us before. I'm glad this time it didn't happen.

Doctor Degrees: We have Amigo to thank for that.

Jackson Kain: Yeah, I saw the playback. What was up with that?

Doctor Degrees: I have no idea, but I definitely plan to find out in Edo.

Jackson Kain: Hey Doc?

Doctor Degrees: Yeah.

Jackson Kain: You still have the belt on.

Doctor Degrees: Oh....that I do.

Saturn City Airport

The media was out in full force to get pictures and interviews, as the last of the Renegades and Lady Renegades boarded the plane.

Reporter #1: Subculture! Subculture, when did you get your sight back? How long were you pretending to be blind?

Reporter #2: Subculture! Why did you join the Pentaverate?

Subculture: Join? It was MY idea! No more questions, I'll give you jackals what you want on my own time. Haha!

A discouraged Trevor Mach and Tack Angel were bringing up the back of the line with Lady M's.

Trevor Mach: I hope my curse doesn't affect my performance in Edo. I've got a shot at the Royal Crown Championship. I LOVE that title! I was the first champ...well after that Rude guy. I SHOULD BE CHAMP!

Tack Angel: I don't want my wife to turn lesbian. Maybe I shouldn't leave. Maybe I should stay here and not have sex with her so she'll stay with me and-

Lady M's: Guys! You two are obsessed with this! You both decided to continue your legacies after Victory Explosion X, and so far it's just been you two worrying about the damage your dicks may have caused. You COULD say your legacies right now mean dick!

Trevor Mach: ...

Tack Angel: ...

Lady M's: AHAHAHAHA! Oh come on! That was a good one!

Tack Angel: That kinda hurt Tali.

Trevor Mach: I concur. That really hurt wife.

Lady M's: Oh geez, the only time you two agree on anything. Look Trevor, your dick didn't make anyone evil. Ripper Jane was playing you, and I'm...well I'm me...doing me kind of things...it's what I do.

Trevor Mach: Oh...well that's true. You ARE scary insane.

Lady M's: Exactly!

Trevor Mach: So instead of thinking my dick causes evil, I COULD think of it as this magical thing...that is able to please two women at once?!

Lady M's: ....If you'd like.

Trevor Mach: YAY! Life is good again! I feel great! Who needs to be mopey! I'm even going to take off this gloomy eye patch I got going on! Nope! Still can't see shit! Oh well! Dum de dum dum dum!

Tack Angel: So Tali? Maybe you could help me too?

Lady M's: Uh...nope...Tracy turned lesbo on you, and your wife is probably next. See ya on the plane.

Tack Angel: ...*sniffle*...#nomorebutts...



In the absence of Chaos TV! and Xcite this week while the Renegades and Lady Renegades rest, recover, and head to Edo, The Clash is performing a Double Header of its own, even though some of these guys have to still get to Edo after the show. Man, the New Wave kind of got shafted on this one. The first show would see the biggest stars The Clash has produced yet in tag action.

-First match featuring the "King of the Ocean" Neptunus taking on Nosan, in his first match out of SWORD. He got a great reaction, and looked to be back in fighting form, taking the lucha star to task, and hitting his Nosan Brainbuster, but the man that literally came out of the sea and immediately got a job with Havok hit a Trident on Nosan and turned the match completely in his favor, rolling him up for the 1-2-3.

-El Mago was set to face Rains in a match that Good News Gary was protesting, due to his belief that Rains should be booked to go to Edo. El Mago is full of tricks, but this was the best trick so far, as El Mago removed his mask to reveal Danny Leung, clad in his old Akatsuki gear. The reaction in the Studio was huge, as Danny was once pegged to be a mega star before his "No Push" mentality lead to years in obscurity. Rains was shocked as his former SWORD ally came at him. GNG was on the ground with his eyes and ears closed, as he couldn't believe that anyone would turn on his "star". Rains was on his knees, trying to cock his fist when Danny hit the Shining Wizard that lead to the pin and the win.

Danny Leung: In case everyone forgot, I'm Danny Leung. I was the winner of the first Ultimate EBW. That was everyone's favorite one! Maybe I didn't want a push before. Maybe I don't even want one now. However, I plan to be bigger and better than Rains. I was a guy people wanted to see in the main event. They don't want you. Hey Gary, they don't like Rains. They hate Rains. They want someone else. Believe that!

Good News Gary: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

-Third match saw Mr. Tai Chi take on Hildebrand Manderville. We got more of the same showboating shenanigans from Manderville, but nothing can phase the man of Tai Chi. Manderville went for the German, but Tai Chi reversed it in a blindingly fast motion and trapped him in a Double Leg Cradle for the pin.

-The main event featured Clash Champion Bashin Dan and Benjamin taking on Severide and Johnny Starbound. Both teams were New Wave and mismatched it seemed, but they both worked very well. Starbound knew to stay out of Severide's way, and that helped the cohesion of the team tremendously. Great match that saw Severide come at the youngsters like a freight train. He trapped Benjamin in an Armbar while Starbound busted out a 450 to the outside on the Clash champ. Benjamin fought it, but had to tap out, leading to the submission victory for Severide. Despite the loss at VE X, Severide on his own or in a basic tag is still an undefeated monster. With a cold outer expression, and an all business attitude in and out of the ring, he's definitely making a big splash in the New Wave. Big splash in the New Wave. It's funny right? I'll just let myself out.

New Edo Wrestling Dojo

New Edo has been allowing the Havok Renegades to train in their dojo in between shows. Kinniku Mike was there showing off his dancing pec trick to the New Edo wrestlers when Magnum PT and Erik Stone showed up.

Magnum PT: What's up big guy?

Erik Stone: Yeah, you sounded excited on the phone. What's going on?

Kinniku Mike: I GOT MARRIED! UUuuuuu!!!

Magnum PT: What? Chief, did I hear you right?

Kinniku Mike: Bet my Strong Tits you did! I got married to another beautiful, luscious, sumptuous Edo Joshi babe!

Erik Stone: ....You work fast man, I mean we JUST got here two days ago!

Magnum PT: Why didn't you invite us Chief?

Kinniku Mike: It was a sudden thing! Sorry guys, but they performed the ceremony right there in her dojo. Shit was was cash, with all those other hot ladies there. Got awkward though when a few of my Joshi ex-wives showed up.

Erik Stone: How many is this for you?

Kinniku Mike: I lost count. I'm actually starting to get a bad reputation with the Joshi fans, especially the male ones. They think I'm "defiling their idols". Man, if they only knew.

Erik Stone: Only now in this joyous moment do I realize how badly I have treated women in the past. I...I have to think about this.

Magnum PT: Well Mike, I'm really happy for you. Why don't you tell me about her.

Kinniku Mike: Her name is Momo Miyuki, and let me tell you, she's quite the peach.

Magnum PT: I'd imagine. Momo means Peach.

Kinniku Mike: ....OF COURSE! Now, we don't speak the same language, but we speak the same body language if you catch my drift. We got kicked out of the hotel we were so loud. Man, it was the best. It was so good that I proposed on the spot! Surprisingly, she said yes. I can't believe it myself. She is WAY too good for me.

Magnum PT: Yeah, but I thought you came here to hunt. You settled down with the first woman you met here.

Kinniku Mike: She's the best, and she's even agreed to come back to Eagleland with me. She's going to be a Lady Renegade! It's awesome!

Magnum PT: Nice man.

Kinniku Mike: All I have to do is help pay for the dojo for her home promotion!

Magnum PT: Yeah...wait what?

Kinniku Mike: Well, she's going to be gone, so I'm going to help pay for the dojo. I mean, it was HER idea, but I'm no opposed to it.

Magnum PT: I think she's got you wrapped around her finger already.

Kinniku Mike: WHAT?! No way dude, Strong Tits is his own man. I just....might as well...to make her happy you know. It's Edo, they're big on "protecting that smile" and shit.

Magnum PT: Right...*whispers to himself* Score one for Momo Miyuki. Good on you.

Angel Hotel Room - Kyoto, Edo

Tack is reading a Sailor Jupiter x Lightning Doujinshi, when Trevor busts in.

Trevor Mach: TAAAACK!

Tack Angel: Trevor!

Trevor Mach: You wouldn't believe what happened to me! Edo hates my guts!

Tack Angel: You think? You didn't do any favors for yourself on Chaos TV!

Trevor Mach: People can't take a joke!

Tack Angel: Except you weren't joking!

Trevor Mach: They don't know that! Give me the benefit of the doubt at least.

Tack Angel: So what happened?

Trevor Mach: I got mugged!

Tack Angel: What? You?

Trevor Mach: Well, they attacked me and grabbed my fanny pack before I could do anything about it.

Tack Angel: That's tough dude.

Trevor Mach: It's fine. I followed them. I tracked them down and was all like "Remember Me"? I was like "damn little girls, you're not taking my fanny pack and getting away with it." That's when I pulled out a stun gun.

Tack Angel: Little girls?

Trevor Mach: I screamed at these girls and zapped them, and made them drop my fanny pack and run crying. I pounded my chest in victory, but I accidentally zapped myself in the nipple with my stun gun. I woke up 4 hours later in a pool of vomit to heavy pounding. The Dads were coming.

Tack Angel: Uh oh.

Trevor Mach: I lunged at the biggest one yelling "Raggle Fraggle!" and hit him in the stomach. He hit the ground harder than a fat kid in a jungle gym.

Tack Angel: HEY!

Trevor Mach: As the others began to circle me, I changed techniques. Holding both hands in tight fists, I raised my arms to sides and came at them with a helicopter spin. They all backed off, fearing my impressive RPM. After a while, I started getting dizzy. They came at me and I vomited on one of them. The other three ran off, so I mounted the guy on the ground, punching at him, singing "LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR! LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!" Then I ran away victorious.

Tack Angel: You mean ran away from the cops?

Trevor Mach: Help me hide please.

Tack Angel: ....We have to change your image around here.

Kyoto Hall Backstage

Dragon Shiryu is watching a video in the back, watching highlights of the last time Havok came to Edo. A war with fire and bloodshed. A war that saw heroes and villains shown for what they were. A war that Trevor Mach, the new Royal Crown Champion, thrived in.

Trevor Mach: (On the Monitor) I'M IN MY ELEMENT!

Dragon Shiryu: ...I think I made a mistake. I think I made a big mistake.

Kyoto Hall Backstage, but somewhere that's not the other place

Takumi Inui walked up to a stretching Makoto Kusaka.

Makoto Kusaka: What the hell do you want?

Takumi Inui: I wanted to wish you luck tonight.

Makoto Kusaka: YOU? You want to wish me luck? What a joke.

Takumi Inui: This Akai came here specifically to beat you. I don't think you're on the wrong side of this.

Makoto Kusaka: I'm on my own side Inui. Smart Brain doesn't like me talking about them, so they sent this prickly prick to take me out, and now they're trying to cost me my spot, my chance to expose them. Just stay out of my way, you're one of them. You keep the TV title, just stay out of my way.

Takumi Inui: .....

Kyoto Hall another place

Firebrand X was walking backstage, as Rains tried to spear him at the behest of Good News Gary. Firebrand X sidesteps him, as Rains hits the wall and knocks himself out. Good News Gary takes off running, while Firebrand X keeps walking. Dragon Shiryu runs up to him.

Dragon Shiryu: Firebrand. I need to talk to you.

Firebrand X: I think after what you did for me, that's the least I could do.

Dragon Shiryu: I need to talk about Hades.

Firebrand X: I was wondering when this was coming. Yes, let's talk about it. You don't think it was The Demon anymore do you?

Dragon Shiryu: I was told that it was your dark side, which means I could have easily been lied to.

Firebrand X: That's true. I apologize, but that's the case. The Demon lied to you.

Dragon Shiryu: I was afraid you were going to say that.



The second show in Edo, Xcite took place in front of another packed crowd in Kyoto Hall. Several of the Renegades in the crowd were very pro-Magnum PT, chanting his name and holding up signs, and action figures. The opening of the show even featured the opening for his new Anime "Bakuhatsu Kogeki Magnum PT". It consists of 10 Episodes based on a Manga, based on a Light Novel, with a second season confirmed to be coming out in years, as soon as the Manga creator gets out of jail for tax evasion and gives them new story ideas for the anime.

The theme for Elevation cut off the anime opening, drawing massive boos from the crowd. Erica ran into the ring far ahead of the others and grabbed a mic.

Erica: Cut that garbage off! We're not here for that! We're here for us! For Elevation! Lady M's, you think you've stopped us? You haven't stopped our rise. You haven't stopped our control. We're coming after you and that title. We-

Real Steel came out to the stage with Hope Mach.

Kelly Steele: Someone's a little salty maybe?

Lady M's: All this salt. Ladies, my sodium levels are just fine, how bout yours?

Erica: You bitch!

Lady M's: No, you missed a part. Lady Renegades Champion bitch!

Erica: I hate you. You stole that title from me, and I want it back!

Lady M's: I stole nothing. Well that's not true, I jacked a great many things from your dressing room, but not this title. I beat your ass for this title lady. I'm going to start fixing what you were breaking, and I'll make your lives a living hell, because I've got nothing better to do.

Erica: I want a rematch!

Bloody Rose: That's not going to happen.

Erica: You?

Lady M's: *sigh* Mooooom, I'm kind of busy here.

Bloody Rose: I'm busy myself Tali. You're going to be busy too. I'm booking a main event for the night. You will be defending that title against a member of Elevation.

Erica: Me? It's me right? It better be me.

Tracy: It could be me.

Erica: Why you?

Tracy: Former champion too.

Erica: So?

Valarie Dorado: I want the shot as well.

Erica: I thought we discussed this. I get the singles gold and you two keep the tag titles.

Bloody Rose: It's going to be a former champion alright. The stoic celtic warrior Kaie.

Erica: WHAT?!

Kaie: I accept.

Erica: Fine! Fine. You kick her ass and then give ME a title match.

Kaie: ...Fine by me.

Bloody Rose: It's settled then.

Lady M's: Alright Kaie, you made a big splash once before, let's see if you can do it again, in the main event.

Kaie: Looking forward to it.

-The opening contest saw Severide, the silent and deadly striker from the frozen north taking on Los Tiburon, the grapple master from the hot south. Normally, hot and cold together would create steam, but this is wrestling, so not so much of that. Tiburon was the first to actually be able to ground Severide, using his grappling skills to keep the deadly fists on the mat. Severide managed to escape a half guard and let the fists fly, hitting a KO Punch that knocked Tiburon out of the ring. He couldn't quite make the 10 Count, leading to a Count Out victory for Severide.

-Makoto Kusaka and Akai faced off next in a Loser Leaves Havok match. Akai was sent by Smart Brain to shut Kusaka up, and this match would either result in victory or defeat....well obviously...but like an absolute victory or defeat for Akai...yeah. Mostly a striking match, the prickly Akai had Kusaka on the ropes, but Kusaka hit the low blow and to force Akai to stagger back. The Gold Smash sealed the deal, and Kusaka scored the 1-2-3 pin. Akai is out and Makoto Kusaka survives to continue trashing Smart Brain.

We cut to the back where Tommy Dukes was standing by with Grind, Tomo, and Retro Hippie.

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, the Ishinomori of Havok, and I'm standing by with some of the members of Mullet Clu-

Retro Hippie: We're the 87's side of the Mullet Club. We all weren't very keen on the name when they decided we should merge with the Weekend Wrecking Crew. I'm just saying.

Tommy Dukes: Alright...well be that as it may, I understand you have something to say Grind.

Grind: I do. A couple years ago, Havok started as the escalation of WAR. We were the hot new promotion that became the standard. I was a Havok World Champion. I had it all. A gal named Ripper Jane came between myself and Mach, and I almost sold my soul to the devil. I say almost, because I had the sense to get out of it when I had the chance. I keep saying it's time to pick up the pace, and make up for lost time. Well this Jet Setter is getting started right now. At Renegade Nation, both Tomo and I here are already involved in a match, but that's going to stop us from issuing a challenge again for later in the night. Our buddies the Weekend Wrecking Crew want a Trios team to challenge them for the gold? You have one right here. Myself, Tomo-kun the mad dog, whose been kept on the leash a little too long, and Retro Hippie here.

Retro Hippie: Eh?

Grind: You heard me. Hope you're up for the challenge Crew.

Tommy Duke: Holy moly! The Mullet Club is imploding!

Retro Hippie: No it isn't.

Tommy Dukes: Never mind!

-Havok Television Champion Takumi Inui took on Slam Master Jam for the title next. The title match was a reward for SMJ, after he managed to beat the EBW legends at Victory Explosion X. The baller was on top of the world until a flick of Inui's wrist began the one sided beat down. Takumi, the poster boy of the New Wave, thought he had the match won with the heart punch, but the heart of SMJ was too strong, leading to the kickout at 2.9. Takumi set him up for the Crimson Smash and sealed the deal for a successful title defense.

Next, we had a sit down interview with Dragon Shiryu and the new Havok Royal Crown Champion Trevor Mach.

Nerma: Hello Renegades, Nerma here with Shiryu and Trevor Mach. Jeff thought it would be a good idea to get you guys together to talk about your upcoming Renegade Nation rematch for the terrific match you just had at the Royal Crown Cup. It was the first time you guys locked up like that and it didn't disappoint.

Dragon Shiryu: ...To be fair...it disappointed me a little.

Trevor Mach: Ha! Well obviously it would. She wasn't thinking about your feelings and shit.

Nerma: I'm sorry Shiryu. I realize it must have been a hard loss.

Dragon Shiyru: No, it's not the loss that bothers me. I take my hits and I come back swinging. If I lose, I come back stronger. That is the will of Athena and the duty of a Ring Saint. What bothers me is what I didn't notice before.

Nerma: And what is that?

Dragon Shiryu: The exact nature of Trevor Mach.

Trevor Mach: I'm a real puzzle Shiryu. An enigma of 80's references, lewd jokes, a strange home life, and recently the loss of my eye here. Makes it pretty hard to nail down my bad ass style. I'm jacked up about the rematch. Looking forward to roughing shit up. Really tearing the house down.

Dragon Shiryu: I have you figured out now Mach...or should I say...Hades.

Trevor Mach: Say whaaaaaaat?

Dragon Shiryu: I thought it was Firebrand X, but now I know better. His cruel, twisted side, it lied to me. He beat that on his own. That means, I have unfinished business, with you.

Trevor Mach: You might as well call me Nosawa, cause you got the Rongai. Get it? No seriously, what the hell are you talking about.

Dragon Shiryu: Hell is exactly what I'm talking about, and you are its keeper.

Trevor Mach: It's clearly been stated that I'm Celtish Protestant-Catholic. That in itself is a war unlike anything you can imagine. The horror....the incomprehensible accents....Father Ted playing in the background....the screaming....it never stops...it never stops. I mean, I have no clue what you're talking about brosef, but whatever floats your boat. If this gets you motivated for the second throwdown, then let's make it more interesting. How about an Inferno Match?

Dragon Shiryu: ....You don't take me seriously.

Trevor Mach: I don't take much seriously to be fair. I take you seriously though. You're a serious fighter, and you might be seriously out of your mind. Before, you were up against me and the hype known as me. You might have my number this time. You might not. I seriously want you to try.

Dragon Shiryu: I'm an honorable warrior, Ring Saint of Athena, and if my suspicions are correct, I won't stop until Hades is vanquished. I'll take back that title as the trophy of my accomplishment.

Nerma: Well there you have it. Is Trevor Mach the actual Lord of the Underworld. It would explain the Edo fires.

Dragon Shiryu: You see what I mean then.

Trevor Mach: HEY!

-In 6-Man Tag action, the NEW Havok World Champion Degrees lead Jackson Kain and Amigo against the Pentaverate. New Pentaverate leader Subculture was looking on from his buddy box, while Tack Angel watched from his. Great action from the start, with the good Doctor, firing up the crowd and showing the fire that made him champ. The spotlight mostly shone on Amigo and Razorblade though, the rivals continuing a war that had stretched for months now, and it just keeps getting bigger with each passing week. Razorblade believes that Amigo cost him his title at Victory Explosion X, and he wrestled as such, slamming Amigo all around the ring. The World Warrior came back hard with a series of suplexes, but suddenly Maniac rushed into the ring, forcing an immediate DQ victory for Team Degrees before he even laid a finger on anyone, part of the new anti-interference program. Didn't quite work tonight, with Maniac getting through security to make it to the ring, and letting Subbie out of the buddy box to help. Tack was helpless to watch as the Pentaverate beat down on the three, until he hit a SUPERKICK that shattered the buddy box, allowing him to rush the ring and help drive the Pentaverate out. Nothing settled on this night, with Subculture promising to end Tack Angel at Renegade Nation 2016. Heavy fines incoming though. So many fines for the Pentaverate.

Before the next match, the camera cut to the back with Good News Gary.

Good News Gary: Good News Everyone! My name is Good News Gary, and I am, shall we say, a bearer of Good News, but I'm also a world traveler. Having spent many years in this part of the world and being a fan of blood sport, I left on a hunting expedition to Nowhere Islands, home of genetically fat people, and nepotism. There, we experienced a hurricane, and the weak were left behind...no so Good News for them. The strong survived to find a refuge at an island village, and that is where I first met....Rains. Rains was chosen as a child, because his family had connections, not because of any particular talent or skill. He had the look though, and he was trained in the deadly art of Sports Entertainment. He can cause most pain and suffering with an in ring promo than any wrestler could with a fist, a knee, or an elbow. He is perhaps the most carried person in the world, and now under my EXPERT guidance, he's the most cock punchy man to ever set foot in a wrestling ring! We've come to Edo to serve notice on all your heroes, especially Magnum PT! Their time is over! We begin the reign of Rains! Pack your bags Tack Angel! Get out of town while you still can Degrees! Fuck you Trevor Mach! Magnum PT we will BREAK YOU!

The next match was the big main event for Edo, as their hero Magnum PT would take on the guy with the look apparently Rains. Before the match could begin though, Jeff Andonuts came out for a big announcement.

Jeff Andonuts: Konichiwa Edo! I'm here as a representative of Smart Brain, a company from right here in Edo. I'm of course also the HOO of Havok. I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize publically for the last time we were in this beautiful country. We love Edo, and I'm sure certain arsonists under our employ also love this country. We wanted to make it up to you, so we brought you Magnum PT, but we're going to go one step further here. In the past PT asked me to bring back the Eagleland Championship. It was a title with prestige, but we already have titles like the Royal Crown Championship and Television Championship. I had it brought to my attention though, that we don't have a title for this area. Even though places like Edo, Dalaam, and Scaraba are part of the World in World Championship, I still feel that maybe we owe this area quite a bit for what you've done for Havok. That is why the following match will now be for the Havok Far East Championship! Ring the bell!

-The crowd went wild for the announcement, with Good News Gary ordering Rains to come out cocking, and cock he did....his fist that is, because that's what he does. PT ducked it and went to town on the former somehow #EVER Champion when that was a thing. PT obviously had the crowd on his side, and they loved this one sided beatdown. The man who would be passable as the hot tag in a tag team at BEST fell to the Mustache Ride and the 1-2-3! Magnum PT, the Gaijin hero, now the first ever Havok Far East Champion!

Kyoto Hall Parking Lot

Hope Mach can be seen in the parking lot talking to none other than Dragon Shiryu. Hope was obviously happy talking to Shiryu, and it looked almost like flirting. As they parted ways, Hope ran right into Trevor Mach.

Trevor Mach: Hope, I "hope" you can hear me right now, cause I'm going to tell you how much you're breaking my heart.

Hope Mach: Daaad. Come on, he's a really nice guy. We were just talking, and yes I do have my aid back in.

Trevor Mach: He thinks I'm the devil! Did you know that? The DEVIL!

Hope Mach: He just thinks you're the lord of the underworld. It's different.

Trevor Mach: OH! That makes me feel MUCH better!

Hope Mach: Oh come on Dad, don't be sad. Let's go get you a big ol' soft pretzel.

Trevor Mach: That's my line!

Hope Mach: Did it work?

Trevor Mach: Yes, let's go get one of those.

-Main event action in Edo, as Lady M's put her newly won Lady Renegades Championship on the line against Elevation's Kaie. The stoic warrior shocked the world by winning the title once before, and looked to win it again against one of the biggest names in the sport. Great, hard hitting contest, that reminded many of their first match, when M's wanted Kaie to prove her worth to begin with. Kaie hit the Celtic Handgrenade, not once, but twice, the bloody M's took them and grinned, asking for more. Kaie went for another, but M's ducked it, landed some stiff elbows and hit the Sexy Strong Stunner. 1-2-3! A good win for M's, who leaves Edo with the title in tact. Elevation tried to rush into the ring, but Kelly Steele, Paula, Sunny Malibu, and Hope Mach helped M's clear the ring to end the show.

Edo Airport

The Renegades and Lady Renegades are preparing to depart back to Eagleland. A large crowd has gathered, as a podium has been set up on a stage, for the stars to give their final thoughts to the Edo fans before leaving. The crowd is waiting with baited breath for Magnum PT. Somewhere further down the line....

Trevor Mach: Can we hurry this up please? I want to get out of here. Airport security is going to find those assholes in the bathroom eventually.

Tack Angel: Did you get into another fight?

Trevor Mach: These people hate me Tack. I'm living it. I'm living the heel dream.

Retro Hippie: You would figure this would hurt our merch sales, but we sold out of 87's and Mullet Club shirts.

Trevor Mach: Masochists. They're all masochists.

Amy Angel: I think that's you quite frankly Trevor.

Tack Angel: You tell him honey...let me just get behind you for a minute. I think she's right. You're asking for this, and now it's time to pay the price.

Trevor Mach: Nah, I'm walking out on the bill.

Kinniku Mike: Well, I spent all my savings, but my new wife is coming to Eagleland with me, now that her dojo's rent has been paid for the next year.

Erik Stone: Great...so when is she coming?

Kinniku Mike: I...uh....I don't know yet.

Erik Stone: This woman bamboozled you.

Kinniku Mike: It's true love Stone! It's real! It's pure! Tell him Tack.

Tack Angel: Pure love Erik!

Erik Stone: Alright fine! Geez!

Takumi Inui: Is Kusaka going to be alright?

Degrees: Yeah, he's going to be alright. He was roughed up pretty badly, but once he regained consciousness, he left the hospital on his own.

Takumi Inui: That sounds like him. Makes me wonder about what he's been saying. Did Smart Brain do something to shut him up?

Degrees: Look to the evidence. Here, take this charm. It was the only thing found on him.

Takumi Inui: Right...

Razorblade: Out of my way losers. I want to get the hell out of this country, the sooner the better.

Trevor Mach: I hear that.

Razorblade: Fuck you Mach.

Trevor Mach: That guy, always making jokes. Yeah, fuck your mother Blade. Haha, we do this all the time!

Subculture: Angel, you might as well stay here, you're not going to like what happens to you when we go back to Eagleland.

Tack Angel: Judging by the bad sushi I ate, you're not going to like what happens on this plane ride.

Lady M's: Don't you fucking dare Tack.

Tack Angel: ..the language.

Lady M's: Was going to show Steele what the mile high club was.

Trevor Mach: Oh yeah?

Lady M's: You're coming too of course.

Kelly Steele: I wasn't aware that I was.

Amy Angel: Isn't that kind of inappropriate?

Lady M's: You want to come too? Could be just us gals?

Trevor Mach: Hehehe.

Tack Angel: That's not going to happen Trevor.

Trevor Mach: Why'd you have to take that away from me Tack? Who the fuck was I hurting?

Magnum PT: Konichiwa everyone! I just wanted to say arigato to all the people of Edo, for your support. I'm very proud to hold this now, the Havok Far East Championship.

Trevor Mach: Excuse me guys, I have a mission to accomplish.

Trevor Mach left the line to jump up to the stage. He quickly grabbed Magnum PT's belt and smashed it with a hammer to the loathing of the Edo crowd.

Magnum PT: What the hell bro?

Trevor Mach: Here PT, I smuggled this out of Jeff's clutches for you. *hands Magnum PT the Eagleland Championship* That's the title you want. You jerks thought I was bad this time? Wait till you see me next time. I'm out!

The crowd rushed the stage, as the Renegades and Lady Renegades rushed into the plane to escape.

Jeff Andonuts: *sigh* I should have seen that coming. He leaves an I.O.U on my suitcase, and I don't put 2 and 2 together. PT, I'm truly sor-

Magnum PT: My beloved Eagleland Championship. I missed ya baby. I may love the people of Edo, but these colors don't run. You'll always be my #1 gal.

Jeff Andonuts: *sigh* Never mind.

-



The Renegades and Lady Renegades of Havok have returned home, and while most rest and prepare for the next week of events, we still have a C Show to do here people. These all important studio shows don't film themselves ya know. It's not like we record them weeks in advance....we should do that. Can we do that? Film several episodes in advance? No? Damn.

Studio Interview Stage

On the interview stage...which is right next to the ring because this studio is REALLY small...Good News Gary was standing by with Rains.

Good News Gary: Let me tell you something "BENJAMIN"! I don't have Good News for you. I don't have Good News for you at all! You loser! Get your head out of the past and face the future! You think that you can stand up to the might and power of Rains? You made a FATAL MISTAKE when you crossed the Rains Cloud! That's what we call our fan base! The Rains Cloud! Rains will meet you in the ring, and he will destroy you! He will cock his fist, and it will hurt MUCH MORE than a fist that isn't cocked! See this new chest protector he's wearing? It's not to hide his lackluster midsection, the only blemish to his hallowed "look". No, it's to.....strike fear in his enemies. Be stricken with fear Benjamin! This match could very well be your last!

-The chest protector did nothing. Benjamin hit the Spear while Rains' cocked fist appeared to be jammed. Gotta clean those things before you use them so avoid stuff like that.

Lady Renegades Locker Room

Rose Mulligan is shadowboxing before her match, when her opponent Paula appears.

Paula: So, you're Rose Mulligan.

Rose Mulligan: Paula? The legend eh? The first lady of EBW? I was expecting more.

Paula: That's funny. You know, they say I have the ability to "read minds". I don't have to read yours to tell that you feel entitled. You got trained by a legend yourself, and you feel that should mean something. It's not about who trained you. It's about what you do in the ring. You just saw that last match right? It was awful. Poor Benjamin put in a match with a Rains. That's lackluster. That does nothing for Benjamin. You want to go places? You go through me, and you make it look good. I just came back from a LONG vacation. I was a teacher, so I'm used to schooling little girls like yourself.

Rose Mulligan: Last week I won the Empress II Tournament. The 4th Wave just became a list of names that have lost to yours truly. I'll add you to the list.

Paula: I actually wanted this match, that's why I came to The Clash. I look forward to see you backing up your claims. Sure hope you don't choke under pressure. Bloody Rose wouldn't like that very much.

Rose Mulligan: ...

-The next match saw EBW Legend Paula taking on Empress II Tournament Winner Rose Mulligan in a fantastic Lady Renegades match. Paula has shaken off the ring rust, and in fact, she's never looked better. Somewhere along the way, she picked up a technical crispness that many in the division are sourly lacking. Rose Mulligan came in with an over hyped ego, and that cost her, when Paula scored a take down and locked her in the Sharpshooter, using the correct leg and everything, unlike other people who are just TERRIBLE at using the move, like that guy The Boulder or whatever his name is. Rose was trapped in the dead center of the ring and had no choice but to tap out. A humbling moment for the Empress II Tournament winner, who refused to shake hands and limped away following the loss.

COMING SOON: A STAR LIKE NO OTHER. A LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME. THE FACE OF FACES WILL ARRIVE! NEXT WEEK: HERO D. PROTAGONIST!

-Toshie and Tomoko Yu, otherwise known as Flame Ribbon, took on 2K in a rematch from their debut a week prior. The Edo heavy hitters fought a much harsher match against 2K this week, with Toshie lifting Sparkz with a Torture Rack, before tossing her out of the ring. She looked to be injured from the fall, as she screamed and held onto her ankle. Akiyama left the ring to tend to her, leading to a Count Out. Flame Ribbon gloated over the victory, basking in the damage they imposed on 2K, with Sparkz having to be carried to the back.

-Main event time, as Bashin Dan tried to stack the deck against his Clash Championship challenger Johnny Starbound. No seriously, he brought out the cards and challenged him to a game...didn't work out so much. He fared much better in the wrestling department, surviving Starbound's high flying onslaught, and evading a 450 Splash, allowing Dan the time he needed to hit the Brave Clash for the 1-2-3! Nice defense for Dan to end the show.

Kinniku Mike's House

Mike and the Weekend Wrecking Crew are shooting pool, and enjoying the day off, with the talk turning to Mike's new wife and other interesting subjects.

Magnum PT: So what are you saying Mike?

Kinniku Mike: I figured it out PT. I figured out why Mach and Tack get SO MUCH TV time! They get all the behind the scenes stuff on the network. They signed a waiver for it! Full access!

Magnum PT: That's a thing?

Kinniku Mike: Apparently!

Erik Stone: I thought they were already doing that. They air a lot of this stuff.

Kinniku Mike: You have to sign a waiver so they can basically cover your entire life if they want to. You make a lot more money if you do.

Erik Stone: So what did you do? Did you sign it?

Kinniku Mike: You do see that Lakitu behind you right?

Erik Stone: I thought a little dude in a floating mobile cloud was following me.

Kinniku Mike: When you can't sneak Jason Hervey into the building, you use those guys. I don't mind though, I get the extra cash, and the people get to see the Strong Tits that much more. Momo will love this.

Magnum PT: When is the wife coming over now that she's milked you enough to keep her dojo going.

Kinniku Mike: Actually, she's on her way RIGHT NOW! Uuuuuu!!! Of course, we have to be careful. She's got this diehard fan in Saturn City. When I say diehard, I mean it. The dude calls himself a wrestler himself, but he spends all of his time in the bar, drinking himself into a stupor because he can't have her. His name...Dan Backslide. Come on, let's pick her up from the airport.

As the trio get in the Titsmobile and drive off, they pass by the local bar, recent hangout of the sneak of Rockford Hall, and Momo Miyuki obsessed fan Dan Backslide.

Dan Backslide: *blows smoke from his unnecessarily long cigarette holder* Hark. The Weekend Crew! Drat them! Double drat them! They are on the way to pick up Momo Miyuki. Dear, sweet Momo Miyuki. HOW I LOVE HER! CONFOUND THE WEEKEND WRECKING CREW! OH HOW I HATE THEM! I HATE MIKE! I HATE MAGNUM! I HATE ERIK! THEY DRIVE ME TO DRINK!

Dan Backslide rushes over to the bar and pounds down shots faster than the bartender can pour them.

Dan Backslide: CONFOUND THEM! I WILL HAVE HER! I WILL BEAT YOU WEEKEND WRECKING CREW!

Havok Training Center - Lady Renegades Locker Room

Kelly Steele is hanging upside down from a bar between the rows of lockers, performing sit ups. Wearing only a sports bra and shorts, the sweat dripping down her abs catches the attention of Trevor Mach, reading a book nearby.

Kelly Steele: Trevor...are you watching me do sit ups?

Trevor Mach: Well not at first, but you're making it enticing.

Kelly Steele: Things are awkward enough between us without you staring at me in the locker room. Which reminds me. What are you doing in the Lady Renegades Locker Room?

Trevor Mach: Waiting for Tali actually, and reading my book.

Kelly looks to see the title of the book. "How to insert yourself into fiction without coming off as Autistic"

Kelly Steele: So how do you do it?

Trevor Mach: Well, hanging a lampshade on it doesn't help. I think it only makes it worse.

Kelly Steele: Hey wait a minute. Couldn't you be waiting for Tali OUTSIDE?

Trevor Mach: Yeah, but I like it better in here. It smells nice, and you're putting on a nice show.

Kelly Steele: Before we met, I was a big fan of yours. I have no idea how we got to where we are now, but it's awkward, and it weirds me out a little.

Trevor Mach: People sometimes say that when they get to know me. Just ask the entire country of Edo.

Kelly Steele: You know what I mean.

Trevor Mach: Hey, this "thing" we got going on was Tali's idea! Like literally and textually. Like it was her idea here, and there.

Kelly Steele: Where are you pointing?

Trevor Mach: The fourth wall.

Kelly Steele: What about it?

Trevor Mach: ...Never mind.

Kelly Steele: So where is she? I kind of need to talk to her too.

Trevor Mach: No idea.

Kelly Steele: I need to tell her something. I want to challenge for the Lady Renegades Championship. We're a team, but I don't want that to get in the way of my ambitions.

Trevor Mach: Oh she'll love that don't worry. She likes that sort of thing. Pure physical violence helped us rekindle our love hardcore.

Kelly Steele: The rock n' roll lifestyle can get weird, but this, this is something else....altogether.

Trevor Mach and Lady M's: This is something else.

Kelly Steele: Huh?

Lady M's: You said "altogether".

Trevor Mach: Tali!

Lady M's: I was here the whole time, and let me just say this, I'd love nothing more than a match with you. I know that you can put up a fight, and give me the challenge I want. The division needs that sort of thing.

Kelly Steele: You were here the whole time?

Lady M's: I like a good show too. *fist bump with Trevor*

Kelly Steele: You know what, screw it. I'm just going to roll with this. Let's hit the showers.

Swift: YOU BETTER NOT COME IN HERE UNTIL I'M DONE! >:C

Trevor Mach: Swift? Whatcha doin in here buddy?

Swift: I LIKE IT IN HERE! IT SMELLS LIKE LAVENDER!

Trevor Mach: I know right?

Jeff Andonut's Office

Jeff is constantly moving a pencil around in his office, looking for the perfect spot, when Subculture comes in.

Subculture: Boss, we need to talk. Actually, I need to talk and you need to listen.

Jeff Andonuts: Oh...well since you put it that way go ahead.

Subculture: Now, I used to be blind, but even a blind man can see that this buddy box nonsense is ridiculous. At Renegade Nation, and all the shows that follow, I demand that they go away.

Jeff Andonuts: Nope.

Subculture: Excuse me?

Jeff Andonuts: I prefer matches with conclusive finishes. Novel concept I guess.

Subculture: Wrestling isn't like that. Wrestling is real. Wresting is life, and life sucks. Life is hard. Life is survival of the fittest. I've had to fight to survive. I lost my eyes, and I kept fighting. The Pentaverate fight together at all times, and we refuse to get stuck in that damn box!

Jeff Andonuts: Then pay the fine, and take the loss every time. That's your prerogative. Smart Brain and Havok demand a new way, and the buddy box gives us that. Peace outside of the ring, so that the Renegades and Lady Renegades can have a fair fight.

Subculture: The Pentaverate demand a new way ourselves. We'll be sure to show you.

Jeff Andonuts: ....Wait...

Subculture: Yes?

Jeff Andonuts: No, not you, I was thinking out loud. Why even set the pencil on the desk. I have a pocket protector!

Subculture: *sigh*

Good News Gary: OUT OF MY WAY!

Jeff Andonuts: Oh boy, here we go.

Good News Gary: I don't have Good News! I don't have Good News at all! Why did you cancel The Clash this week!?

Jeff Andonuts: Smart Brain wanted a Purge, PLUS we don't do The Clash the week of major events. I mean, I can't help that I announced stuff for a show that wasn't going to happen. Well, I guess I COULD help it but-

Good News Gary: My new client Hildebrand Manderville needs to be seen! He must be built up so that I can make Rains look REAL STRONG!

Jeff Andonuts: Uh...maybe next week?

Good News Gary: What about the debut of Hero D. Protagonist? I was looking to sign him!

Jeff Andonuts: Next week! Why do you want to sign him? You haven't even seen him yet.

Good News Gary: I'm going to have Rains beat him, so Rains becomes the TRUE Hero and Protagonist!

Jeff Andonuts: Get out. *sigh* What should I do about all this nonsense in my office?

Hint Horse: Lock the door!

Jeff Andonuts: Thanks Hint Horse!

Kinniku Mike's House

Amigo, PT, and Erik Stone are all standing by as Mike opens the door with a grin on his face.

Kinniku Mike: Welcome to your new home Momo, my hot ass Edo wife!

Amigo, PT, and Erik Stone: WELCOME HOME MOMO!

Momo Miyuki: Koko kara deteike

Amigo: Eh?

Kinniku Mike: I think she said thanks for the welcome.

Magnum PT: No, that's not what she said at all.

Momo comes in, looking very sternly at the men in the room, with short dark hair, a low cut pink top, and black leather shorts.

Erik Stone: This is where I'd normally make lewd comments about your new wife, but I've turned over a new leaf. Instead, I will think them. Oh....oh yes....yes that's right....yes...all the syrup. You can have omelette rice....in my pants.

Kinniku Mike: Knock it off Stone! Uuuuu!!!!

Erik Stone: Sorry! I have a problem!

Magnum PT: Yorokonde ie ni suru ni wa Momo?

Momo Miyuki: ...

Magnum PT: ...*cough*...Right...well...we should probably be going.

Kinniku Mike: Right, so Momo and I can have some...alone time.

Erik Stone: Right...for the good stuff.

Kinniku Mike: Exactly! I will give Momo a foot rub, and then I'll sleep on the couch while she gets the bed!

Amigo: Is that normally how that works for you Mike?

Kinniku Mike: ....No...but....it's how she..uh...we WE decided to do this for now. To build up anticipation you see.

Magnum PT: Well good luck with that. Let's go guys.

Amigo: Hang on, I need to get my sandwich.

Kinniku Mike: Well Momo my wife. We COULD always-

Momo Miyuki: Yameru!

Kinniku Mike: Yes yes....right...sorry.

Streets of Saturn City

Trevor Mach is walking with his daughter Hope and walking his dog Barley.

Trevor Mach: That's why the Bavarian Creme Doughnut is the KING of doughnuts.

Hope Mach: They're pretty good I suppose.

Trevor Mach: You suppose? They're the best Hope. THE BEST!

Hope Mach: Alright Dad fine! The best!

Trevor Mach: That's right! They have to have chocolate on them though or it's NO GOOD!

Hope Mach: Right.

Trevor Mach: Glad we're on the same page so far. So anyways then-

Trevor and Hope stop, as a hipster is seen arguing with a store owner.

Hipster: I demand you respect my identification!

Store Owner: But it's simply not true!

Hipster: I identify as a Zombie, and I demand to be able to use the restroom that closest fits my identity!

Store Owner: I don't even have a Zombie Restroom! What would that even be?!

Hipster: I'M GOING TO SUE YOU! I-

Trevor Mach suddenly smashed into the Hipster with the Machshasa. Hope expected to see Trevor smirking or making a joke, but instead, he looked madder then she's ever seen him up close.

Hope Mach: Dad? DAD? DAD!

Trevor Mach: Huh? What? What's going on?

Hope Mach: You just lost it on that guy!

Trevor Mach: Oh that...I sure did. Ha!

Store Owner: Thanks for that! I owe you!

Trevor Mach: Got any doughnuts?

Later on in the park...

Hope Mach: Dad, what was that earlier?

Trevor Mach: Don't worry about that. What I want to know is what you're planning on doing in Havok. Gonna challenge Momma M's?

Hope Mach: If she's champion that's the plan. I'll be making a play for it after Renegade Nation.

Trevor Mach: Fantastic.

Hope Mach: Seriously though Dad, I saw that look in your eyes. I've never seen you so full of malice.

Trevor Mach: I'm just tired Hope. Lots of bullshit, breaking me down. You know me daughter, I don't take the shits, I just disrupt them.  

Hope Mach: Yeah but-

Suddenly a light appeared in front of the two. A portal reminding Mach of the time CTW appeared in EBW. Out from the portal stepped a blonde girl with a pony tail, wearing a blue denim jacket with wings on the sleeve, and a sheathed sword on her back.

?: Excuse me? Could you tell me what year this is?

Trevor Mach: It's current year, and it sucks.

Hope Mach: It's 2016.

?: Perfect. Do you know where I can find Tack Angel?

Trevor Mach: Tackleton? Who wants to know?

?: Tackleton? Uncle Trevor?

Trevor Mach: Who are you?

?: It's me. Christina Angel.

Smart Brain made the decree, and yesterday it happened, the first ever Purge since the introduction of the New Wave system. With more and more new talent coming in, and the veterans grinding their heels in for the long haul, the time came for to lighten the load as it were. Losers of these matches would be gone from Havok. For some, their careers would be over before they even began. For others, it would be the end of a long road. The show kicked off with an announcement that the main event would now be held under No Rules, meaning that the Buddy Boxes would not be used, and anyone could get involved. The sudden announcement opened up the possibilities that Elevation, the Mullet Club, or Diamond Pier might get involved.

-The opening match saw Tom Yonk shock the world and score a decisive victory over Pentaverate's Maniac.....just kidding. Maniac beat him like a small child and sent him tot he unemployment line with the Sliced Bread #2. Seriously, who even remembered that Yonk still worked here?

-The rivalry between Kaie and Sunny Malibu came to an end, with one of them going home. Sunny had improved tremendously over time, but the beach babe was no match for the stoic warrior on this night. Not only did Kaie smash Malibu with the Celtic Hand Grenade, but she then lifted her into the Torture Rack. Sunny tried to fight, and show the heart of the Lady Renengades, but she ultimately passed out, leading to the Referee Stoppage. Nuclear heat on Kaie for eliminating a Lady Renegade that the fans really finally just got behind in this match.

Up on the stage, Nerma was standing by with the main eventers...

Nerma: Hello Renegades and Lady Renegades alike! Nerma here with the participants of the main event tonight. They are all veterans except for Television Champion Takumi Inui, who will be given a huge test tonight. With the No Rules stipulation added, who knows what is going to happen tonight. Let's get a word from the participants.

Kinniku Mike: Uuuu! Look, I just got married, and my wife...well...she says "keeping our hands to ourselves" will be good for in the ring. I think she's right, as I'm blue balling something fierce! I'm so worked up and angry, I'm going to lose it in that ring, and I'm going to survive! Maybe then...my sweet peach, Momo Miyuki will...well you know...I'm trying to tell you but I locked in on a couple kids in the crowd out there and it's just making this weird.

Takumi Inui: ...Smart Brain maybe wants me gone. I know they wanted Kusaka gone. I think they're sending people after me. I'm not here to start that war though, that war belonged to Kusaka. I'm here to give dreams to the people, and continue on as the Television Champion.

Tracy: Elevation needs Tracy. You need Tracy. I'm not going anywhere, make no mistake. I hope Bloody Rose is watching closely, because I'm thinking it's time her daughter is gone once and for all from Havok.

Valarie Dorado: I agree. Putting two members of Elevation in this match was the biggest mistake Smart Brain could have made for you Lady M's.

Lady M's: I think not "chickas". Smart Brain wants me gone too Takumi. This gal knows too much. Well...I don't know a lot really, but I know something evil is going on, and they know I know THAT much at least. Whatever games they're playing, I'll play. I'll survive, and I'll stop them whenever they get in my way. It's funny, they want all the title holders in this match gone for good. Weird isn't it Trev?

Trevor Mach: Weirder than you think actually, but that's a discussion for you and me later, after we survive this Purge. You know, normally when "purge" you have to stick your fingers down your throat and gag it all up. That's what this all is to me. It's what happens when you gag up your lunch. Shame, loathing, and bits of corn. You know I hope Diamond Pier shows up tonight. I really hope they do. They'll do Dragon Shiryu a favor and eliminate me before I throw him into the fire at Renegade Nation. Maybe he's the one that had them attack me in the first place. Ha! He thinks I'M the devil. No, I'm just the Bad Man. I'm the survivor.

Nerma: There you have it. A lot of unhappy employees, but it's my pleasure to announce that all the survivors of the Purge tonight are going to get some nice bonuses in their next check!

Lady M's: ...Urge to destabilize establishment fading.

-Johnny Starbound made quick work of Drake Firestarter, the Renegade who never quite made it out of The Clash. A 450 Splash by Starbound earned him the win, and apparently a nice bonus.

-The next match saw the fan favorite New Wave tag team Bashin Dan and Benjamin taking on veterans Danger Maximum in match that could see them yet again...YET AGAIN....released from the company. Most even Purge match so far, with the always impressive, if not altogether sane, Bashin Dan planting Rod with the Brave Clash for the 1-2-3. Danger Maximum handled the loss with grace and dignity at least. Just kidding again, they had to be dragged out by security, with RnK blaming Rod for the loss. New Wave over the veterans.

-In the next match, two luchadors friends would have to put aside loyalty and tradition, as one would stay and one would go. By far the most luchatastic display in a long time, with other luchadors like Kiva, El Mago, and newcomer Neptunus coming out to watch. Hexagon III's bad luck streak in the ring unfortunately followed him here, as the grappling maniac Los Tiburon finished him with the Brainbuster for the pin. After the match, Hexagon III removed his mask, revealing an older man in tears. He handed Tiburon the mask and raised his hand, a show of ultimate respect for luchadors who almost never take off their masks willingly. Los Tiburon survives, with purpose to continue the lucha legacy in Havok. At this point it was announced officially that Los Tiburon would be the first to challenge Magnum PT for the revived Eagleland Championship.

-Main event time, as the Renegades and Lady Renegades went to war in a No Rules match, with the loser being fired, and in this match it could have been anyone. Friendships had to be set aside for survival, at least that COULD be why Mike immediately tackled Mach, or his state of mind left him in a blue balled foaming rage. No Rules basically meant an invitation for interference, and that brought out the Diamond Pier. The three Edo stars tried coming to the ring through the crowd, but Dragon Shiryu appeared to stand in the way, leaving Mach puzzled at first, but then he played it up by taunting Diamond Pier and Edo in general. Takumi fought his way out of bear hug by Mike, and landed the Crimson Smash, but Mike bounced off the ropes and took Takumi down with him, landing to the point where the TV champ was pinned under him, but he managed to grab the ropes just in time. Tracy and Valarie did in fact team up on M's, but the partnership only lasted so long. As M's looked to hit the Rolling M's on Tracy, she quickly threw Dorado in her way, leading to the Anahauc star taking the hit. Tracy rolled out of the ring and backed away as M's pinned Valarie for the win. Valarie Dorado on Elevation is now gone, with the other survivors breathing a sigh of relief, except for Mach and Mike, who were by now standing behind Shiryu, ready to pick a fight with all four men until security parted them. This Purge cut the jobs of 7 fighters. Would their be another Purge? Who will be next?

Pentaverate Limo

Subculture, Maniac, Razorblade, and the Eagleland Males are all sitting in the limo, listening to music, sipping champagne, and spending time with some ladies when Subculture gets a call.

Subculture: Keep it down guys. I need to take this call. Wouldn't want to go deaf now would I?

Saxon: He just made a joke cause he was blind.

Novus: I got it.

Subculture: Hey. Yeah, I was just thinking that myself. I've got my hands full with that has been Tack Angel at Renegade Nation, but once I've won that match, I'm challenging either Jackson Kain or Degrees, I don't care which. Yeah, but you heard what Andonuts told me already. I do agree though, it's time for the Pentaverate to change some things, and make Havok like it used to be. Oh yeah? Well, you better be ready to put your money where your mouth is, because if you want to bank roll this operation, we're going to need it. Just remember though, you don't own us. You came to us with the idea, and we're going to help you. Consider us partners. Alright later.

Razorblade: Was that him?

Subculture: Yeah, he's on board. He'll be financing this whole thing.

Maniac: Meaning?

Subculture: He'll be paying for limo rides like this mostly, but he thinks that money is going to help him with his goals in Havok.

Razorblade: You would think people would know better than to trust us by now. We only look out for ourselves.

Subculture: Well, you get frustrated enough with your situation in life, you get desperate sometimes. Look at me. I got desperate several times before saying screw it, and making my own destiny happen.

Maniac: All it cost you was the love of the fans.

Subculture: Screw them too. They're dumb enough to pay to see us no matter what I do. They paid to see me win, now they'll pay to see someone beat me. Too bad that's not going to happen. The puncher vs. the kicker. Renegade Nation is going to be very exciting.

The Angel Residence

Tack Angel is sitting in his living room, staring in awe, as Iroha sizes up the adult Christina Angel from the future.

Tack Angel: Awww.

Not that kind of Awe.

Tack Angel Awwwe.

That's better.

Tack Angel: I just...I can't believe this! Is it really you?

Christina Angel: Yeah Dad, it's me, and I'm glad that I've found you, because the future is looking bleak.

Iroha: Not true! I come from the future, and everything was great! I just had to come back and save my master from a plot to kill him now instead of in the future when he falls into that thresher.

Tack Angel: I'm sorry what?

Christina Angel: I don't know you.

Iroha: I don't know you either.

Tack Angel: I fall into a thresher?!

Christina Angel: You came here first, perhaps your future no longer exists.

Iroha: I was sent back to save him though, and that hasn't happened yet.

Christina Angel: Who were you supposed to stop?

Iroha: Some bad guys who were going to hijack a space station and-

Tack Angel: That already happened!

Iroha: ....Wh...what?

Tack Angel: That happened already. We stopped Fenrir, and I sucked a guy out of an airlock. I'm not proud of that last one...but I did it.

Iroha: So...I came too late?

Tack Angel: But I'm still alive, so I guess you didn't need to come back and help me after all.

Iroha: This is all so strange.

Tack Angel: Thresher death aside, I've been through stranger things. This could be good news. In Christina's future maybe I don't get a harem!

Christina Angel: Oh no, that still happens.

Tack Angel: But I don't to be an anime!

Christina Angel: It makes mom SOOOO mad.

Tack Angel: Ah!

Christina Angel: I am here to stop the calamity that will soon befall Havok. Someone or something is about to unleash chaos, and I came here to stop that.

Tack Angel: I could just save you some time and tell Trevor not to do whatever it is he's probably going to do.

Christina Angel: I don't think it's him. I mean yes, the atrocities of Uncle Trevor are known far and wide in the future, but I'm here to stop someone else. I'm here to save Mom.

Tack Angel: Wait...what happens to-

Amy Angel: I'm home! Christina is ready to see her Da-Tack? Who is this?

Tack Angel: Ha....so...first off...I'm so sorry for the future harem.

Amy Angel: Eh?

Saturn City 6/10 Gas Station

Trevor Mach is inside the gas station, drinking a slurpee and playing pac-man on a vintage arcade cabinet. Outside, several guys are crowded around making noise.

Trevor Mach: Stupid ghosts! Think you can eat me?! You can't eat! You're ghosts! Ghosts don't eat! I'd fall right out of you. Stupid ghosts. I'll eat you though! Come here! I'm hungry for ghost!

Gas Clerk: Damn kids.

Trevor Mach: What's up Gus?

Gas Clerk: Oh those little bastards out there on their hoverboards, making a scene. They harass people as they walk by, trying to prank them, and upload it onto the net or whatever. I tell them to leave, but they don't listen. I call the cops, but the cops are too afraid to enforce the law anymore. I don't know what to do.

Trevor Mach: I got this.

Young Punk #1: Come on dude! Do it! Lift her skirt up! Haha!

Trevor Mach: The hell is going on out here?!

Young Punk #2: Whoa! It's Trevor Mach

Young Punk #3: Look Mach, check out our hoverbo-

Trevor Mach: Those aren't hoverboards and you damn well know it! They don't hover! They have wheels! It's a segway without a handle! I swear, if I ever find the guy that named these hoverboards I'll-

Young Punk #1: Dude! She got away!

Trevor Mach: Yeah, that's kind of the point. Hence the diversion. You idiots think you're hot shit cause you have a youtube channel or something? I bet you plaster your face all over the thumbnails too you egotistical pieces of shit. Nobody wants to see your stupid faces, but I'll be happy to knee them in if you'd like!

Young Punk #2: Whoa dude, just calm down. You can't do that, it would be a hate crime. Just thinking it is going to get you in trouble.

Trevor Mach: Oh yeah? I'm shaking in my boots.

Young Punk #3: Relax man! You know you should start your own channel. Think of all the hits you'd get.

Trevor Mach: I've got hits already. You want to see how many hits I've got?

Mach tosses one of the punks into nearby trash cans and uses his "hoverboard" to smash another punk in the head. The last one tries to punch Mach, but falls short and gets a knee to the face for his troubles.

Trevor Mach: That's how many hits I've got. I'd say I'm doing Iron Man numbers.

Retro Hippie: Trevor! Trevor, what are you doing?

Trevor Mach: Justice Hippie. That's what I'm doing. Justice.

Retro Hippie: You can't just beat up on people in the streets. That's why you have so much heat in Edo.

Trevor Mach: So?

Retro Hippie: That's why they sent a team over here to stop you!

Trevor Mach: ....Point taken Kevin Bacon. Let's get out of here. I've got an idea as to how we'll deal with Diamond Pier.

Central Circle played host to yet another big Smart Brain lead event, called the Fifth Wave. The company that owns Havok is getting more aggressive in its policies, purging the roster, and only allowing the strongest members of a "wave" to compete on the main brand.

-The opening match featured two teams that would fit the theme of the fifth wave, with most of them coming from Dalaam. Wu Zhu Que came out in black and brown with his hair wrapped up in a tail, while his partner came out in blue and white with dyed hair. Cid Hayama came out in all black, with a green symbol on his shirt. He was the most cocky of the newcomers. His partner Shakra Aphrodite was the most flamboyant of the group, coming out in a white mask, wearing white and gold tights. The showboat team were the most impressive, with a surprise coming from Aphrodite, who hit the Starstorm Omega on Shen Bai Hu to score the win. After the match, EBW Legend Poo made his way out to the ring to celebrate with the Dalaam winners. Apparently, all four wrestling were members of Poo's wrestling school.

Alley near Central Circle

With a flash of light, Jenny Everywhere appears out of nowhere. A girl with short hair and a leather jacket. She holds a mysterious secret and past.

Jenny Everywhere: Looks like I made it back just in time. Working in Havok will be the best way to find out what's happening and why so many timelines are converging on this point.

-In the second match Super 3D battled Al Ad-din. Super 3D presented himself like a superhero. Al Ad-din looked like a Scarabian street rat from some other thing. More of a comedy match than anything, after trying to outham each other, Super 3D managed the take down on Al with a lariat, which gave him time to go to the top rope for the Super Splash, though that didn't quite work. Al Ad-din tripped on his parachute pants after rolling out of the way, and fell right into Super 3D who hit the 3D Press in 3D to score the pin and the win.

-Jenny Everywhere was in action next, the newcomer taking on Cronos Shani, another student of Poo. The young lady has no experience that we know of, and yet she wrestles like a pro, using many styles that would have taken years to perfect. She overwhelmed Cronos Shani and pinned her after the RKO out of Everywhere. Jenny Everywhere is coming to Havok.

The main event featured the street fighter Takuma Tsurugi taking on Chen Huang Long for the last spot in the Fifth Wave coming to Havok. Takuma, decked in all black leather, has a reputation for being an incredible fighter on the streets, and that reputation can be said for in the ring as well. He dominated his competition, and forced a referee stoppage for violence, though the outcome is up for debate, as some are saying he should have been disqualified for not listening to the referee. In any case. The brutal street fighter is on his way to Havok.

Nerma: Nerma here, the voice of the Renegades, with your big update for this week. Renegade Nation is right around the corner, and with it, a big change, as the name Renegade Nation will become the name of the weekly flagship. We have some big news before that though, with Xcite heading to Fourside for the annual E3 at the Expo Center! It's going to be huge, as we announce a few new video games! First game will of course be Havok 2k17, less features than ever for the next generation. We're told you won't care, because the framerate is 60fps, and that's apparently all that matters. Also, they've scrapped the wrestling this year, and turned it into a first person shooter. Monthly subscription fees will be somewhere around 19.95 for the basic package. The second game will be called "Tack's Puzzlepalooza". It's a puzzle game/dating sim/first person shooter. It's weird. The third game is a Kinniku Mike dating sim....for adults only...I think that should be obvious by now. It's called....*sigh*..Mike's Big Booty Bitches 5. The final game stars the luchadors on our roster and it's called....*sigh again* Lucha Demolition Derby All-Stars DX. Can you guess what the genre is? You guessed it...first person shooter.

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here now, the Atari 5200 of wrestling, and it's time to run down that Xcite card! We're going to see Trevor Mach teaming up with Grind and a to be determined tag partner against Diamond Pier. Tack Angel can't be involved, because he'll be facing Razorblade in singles action ahead of his match with Subculture at Renegade Nation. We'll also see Amigo taking on Maniac. I'm guessing we'll see Tomo or one of the Weekend Wrecking Crew joining the main event. Though, we may also see someone else joining up...

Smart Brain Training Center

Trevor Mach is sitting on the floor, staring at the wall. Smart Lady is walking away from him. Dragon Shiryu walks in, slowly approaching Mach.

Trevor Mach: ...You want to do this now? Come to kill the devil have you?

Dragon Shiryu: Once again Trevor, I don't think you're the devil. I feel that you may be Hades, lord of the Underworld and-

Trevor Mach: ...I don't care. I seriously don't care. I got it figured out for you by the way. I'm not Hades, you've got the wrong guy. You ever hear about the Four Horsemen though?

Dragon Shiryu: I try to keep up with classic wrestling but-

Trevor Mach: Biblical.

Dragon Shiryu: Ah.

Trevor Mach: ...The Four Horsemen, my cousin always felt that Fenrir were like the Horsemen. Void was Pestilence. Destroyer A was Death. Murasaki was Famine. Me? I was War. I ride the red horse. I am War Shiryu.

Dragon Shiryu: Trevor, I'm sorry alright. I have to do my duty for Athena. I have to stop the return of Hades.

Trevor Mach: Again...what part of that has anything to do with my daughter Shiryu.

Dragon Shiryu: She is nice Trevor. I just wanted to find out who you were from someone who wasn't constantly being sarcastic. She says you're a great father.

Trevor Mach: Stay out of my life Shiryu.

Dragon Shiyru: Are you alright?

Trevor Mach: I thought you were a pretty bad ass dude Shiryu. I was a fan. Now I have to set fire to you. Got to admit, you talking to Hope is making that easier and easier.

Dragon Shiryu: I want to help you Trevor.

Trevor Mach: What?

Dragon Shiyru: I want to help you in the main event. Diamond Pier is going to want to destroy you, and I don't want to see that happen. I don't think you're Hades anymore, I just don't know for sure.

Trevor Mach: I'm just getting worse Shiryu, why change your mind?

Dragon Shiryu: The Lord of the Underworld wouldn't care about being a Dad. He wouldn't care about his animals so much. He wouldn't-

Trevor Mach: You want to help me Shiryu? Nut up AND shut up. Don't talk about my life, just show up in that ring. Edo wants me dead, and I can't wait to make an entire country salty again. They want me to be sorry! I'm sorry that they haven't made an original anime since the 90's.

Dragon Shiryu: I thought Saint Seiya Omega was alright.

Trevor Mach: NOT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL! TWO YEARS TO GET TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS! SO MUCH FILLER! I LOVE IT!

Dragon Shiryu: Can we agree Outlaw Star was great?

Trevor Mach: You're damn right it was!

Havok E3 Stage

Jeff Andonuts is standing by, showing onlookers, the new Havok games. The quality has dipped, but gamers buy anything these days, so despite Jeff's self loathing, he continues to shill the crap games. Then he introduces Hope Mach, Iroha, and Christina Angel...the older one.

Jeff Andonuts: Look who is here everyone! It's Lady Renegades Hope Mach and Iroha! They are joined by our newest member of the Lady Renegade division Christina Angel! That's right, the daughter of Tack Angel. She's 18, but please don't question how that happened. They are here to see you, and then tomorrow they will compete as a team against Elevation. Let's hear from the girls!

Hope Mach: It's going to be great to join these girls in the ring against Elevation. I want to make it clear to Elevation, that they're not going to stand in the way of the future.

Iroha: Apparently, my mission has already be completed, so now I will do my best to help Senpai Tack Angel, so he'll notice me. That's why I'm going to join Hope and Christina against Elevation!

Christina Angel: Well, this will be my first match in Havok...in 2016, but let me tell you, I was taught well by the King of Melancholy Style himself Tack Angel. While I figure out my purpose here, I'll be more than happy to team with the other two girls from the future!

Hope Mach: *cough* Hey!

Christina Angel: What? Oh....OH! You haven't- you mean- Oh no I-

Iroha: What? What am I missing?!

Jeff Andonuts: ...Time travel...been there done that.

Expo Center Basement

Takumi Inui is seen pacing back and forth, as Lady M's approaches.

Lady M's: Surprised you actually showed up.

Takumi Inui: I will always be here when I'm needed. I won't let them stop me.

Lady M's: Do you know anything about them?

Takumi Inui: I know they put Kusaka in the hospital, and they want to do the same to me. I just don't know why.

Lady M's: It seems they think you're more invested that you want to admit.

Takumi Inui: Why do you even care?

Lady M's: You give me an evil corporation, I just have to take it down. This has been noted and documented many times. This chick ain't taking shit from Smart Lady or any cronies from that corrupt place.

Takumi Inui: ...Do you want to give dreams to the people too?

Lady M's: Not my style. Just a glutton for violence. I was taught however, how to be violent constructively. Plus, I'm worried about someone.

Takumi Inui: Mach.

Lady M's: Smart Lady's in his head. He's a disaster waiting to happen.

Takumi Inui: The Dragon will stop him if that happens.

Lady M's: We'll see.

E3 Booths

Havok World Champion Doctor Degrees and Jackson Kain are walking among the people, giving out autographs and taking in the sights.

Jackson Kain: Now this is what I'm talking about! I'm used to this sort of thing. Praise and autographs. I've been to E3 and Comic Con many times to talk about my movies and games.

Degrees: I'm a little more uncomfortable than you about all this hero worship. Always doing the right thing shouldn't have to come with that.

Jackson Kain: You're a real boy scout pal.

Degrees: Actually, I-

Jackson Kain: Hang on a second bro, these ladies want me to sign their unmentionables.

Degrees: *sigh*

Jackson Kain: So Doc, I've been thinking. They want to give us the night off, and I say screw that.

Degrees: So what's your plan?

Lady Renegades Locker Room

Christina Angel is stretching as Amy Angel approaches.

Christina Angel: M-Mom?

Amy Angel: It really is you isn't it?

Kelly Steele: Well that's what I told you when I let you in but NOOOO you had to see it for yourself.

Amy Angel: Can you please give us a moment?

Kelly Steele: Oh yeah sure. Don't mind me. I'm not even working tonight. What am I even doing here?

Christina Angel: I hope this doesn't freak you out too much.

Amy Angel: I'm married to Tack Angel. Life has few surprises compared to what comes from him. Of course, you come from both of us.

Christina Angel: So, you believe me?

Amy Angel: Of course I do. You think I wouldn't know my own daughter. It's in your face, and your eyes. What I want to know is what you're doing here.

Christina Angel: Something bad is coming mother. The timeline is distorted. Something is changing the flow of events. People keep appearing and disappearing from reality. Different futures are coming into reality and collapsing just as quickly. Iroha comes from a future I don't know, and Hope Mach-

Amy Angel: Wait...she's-

Christina Angel: It's not something I should talk about. I could just feel it. Havok is full of people who aren't supposed to be here actually. I can't deal with that though. I have to keep my eyes open for this big event. I have to stop it.

Amy Angel: I was told by Iroha, who won't leave my house, that her calamity has already been dealt with. Maybe yours won't happen at all. You said it yourself. Something is changing the world.

Christina Angel: It's going to happen mother. I just don't know when yet, but when it does...be ready.



Xcite, the final stop before Renegade Nation, took place in front of a capacity crowd in Fourside today, right in the middle of the annual E3 event. Gamers and wrestling fans alike would once again get a taste of the Havok insanity live. The show opened with Havok World Champion Degrees and Jackson Kain making an unexpected entrance.

Degrees: Hello Renegades! Hello Gamers!

Jackson Kain: What a great crowd tonight! You all hyped! Lights! Camera! Action! Jackson Kain is here!

Degrees: It's the eve of Renegade Nation, the event where-

Jackson Kain: Hand me the index card please, it's my turn. The event where the two of us will go toe to toe in an Ironman match.

Degrees: The best man will win. We've said it before, and we'll say it again. Just because we're friend doesn't mean we'll go easy on each other.

Jackson Kain: In fact, the quest to be the best man and hold that title will push us to our limits. Furthermore I-I don't need this card anymore. I know what I want to say. I respect you Doc, but this is going to be my time. I have been reborn in Havok, and I can only live with being the best now. You're like a brother to me, but that's going to be your downfall. I know you, and I know your moves.

Degrees: You forget something Kain. I'm your Doctor. Enough with the back and forth though. We came out here because the champion and challenger SHOULD fight on the eve of this big event. That's why we're calling out anyone in the back if they want to fight. We'll be happy to compete right here and now.

-Slam Master Jam and Flying Man of all people stepped up. Slam Master Jam has had a roller coaster ride in Havok so far, and Flying Man has always had that kind of career as well. The motivational embodiment of courage seemed to do wonders for the b-baller, as this odd ball underdog team managed to take the champ and challenger to extremes in a surprisingly good tag match. A Slam Jam on Degrees lead to a 2 count, and a big gasp from the champ and the crowd. Flying Man tried to finish off Kain later in the match with a Chickenwing Neckbreaker, but Kain escaped and landed the Shadow Kick for the roll up and the 1-2-3. A great opener, and a good showcase for all involved. SMJ and Flying Man just became a beloved team in Havok in one night.

E3 Parking Lot

A limo pulls up, with the Pentaverate coming out. The crowd tries to get autographs, but the cocky upstarts push them out of the way. Jeff Andonuts meets them at the door.

Jeff Andonuts: I know you're up to something. Just remember that any funny business in the ring can get you a loss, especially if someone else tries to help you. I have brought together a security force to enforce this very thing. Swift, Generator, and Hotlanta. So don't test me or the system.

Subculture: Jeff, I think the system needs a drastic overhaul. Out of my way.

Maniac: Psh. Loser.

Razorblade: ....

Saxon: Don't mess with the Eagleland Males boss.

Novus: Don't forget, we're your Tag Team Champions.

Jeff Andonuts: That's exactly why I'm lining up opponents for you at Renegade Nation. *sigh* What are you planning?

-The first "official" match on the card featured Severide taking on luchador El Mago in singles competition. The lucha magician tried using his tricks on Severide, like disappearing in a puff of smoke, but Severide was quick to turn around and knock him down when he reappeared. The tricks didn't work, and Severide forced a submission via Ankle Lock. The cold and silent fighter continues to wrack up wins and take names.

-The next match was to determine the #1 Contenders for the Havok World Tag Team Championships, as Firebrand X and Camilo Ortega took on Bashin Dan and Benjamin, otherwise known as "Mystic Brave". The Clash Champion and the man from another time, gave the veterans the fight of their lives, but Firebrand X was in a form we haven't seen since his time as World Champion. With a Red Fire Bomb, he managed to pin Benjamin to win the match and the shot at the belts at Renegade Nation. After the match, he grabbed a mic.

Firebrand X: I came into this sport as the hybrid fight. The man in the mask with multiple styles. I made my mark and won some titles. I've been a World Champion before. Things went off the rails for me for quite some time. I just want to get back to what I've always done, and that's kick ass. I put my demons behind me once and for all. I am Firebrand X, and I'm here to stay.

-The next match saw Amigo taking on Maniac, in what started out as a great brawl. Pentaverate however, had other ideas. Razorblade came out with a sledgehammer and smashed the Buddy Box at ringside. He then lead the Eagleland Males in the ring to attack Amigo. The beating was brutal, as Swift, Generator, and Hotlanta finally rushed out to break it up. Jeff Andonuts came out to yell at Subculture, but Subbie just made it rain with the fine money for interfering in matches, per the new rules.

Subculture: If you plan on fining us for every little thing, then the Pentaverate is going to use its resources to make you choke on those fines. Sure, you'll get plenty of cash, but good luck having a single match that we don't interject ourselves into if we feel like it.

-The next match featured the debut of the Lady Renegade team of Hope Mach, Christina Angel, and Iroha. Nicknamed "Future Past" and "The Future Literally", these three were set to face the now 3 woman stable Elevation. Despite the differences in experience, Christina Angel and Iroha were able to keep up with Hope Mach, who has had much more experience in the Havok ring. Iroha has stepped up her game, and Christina Angel came off as the spitting image of her father, using kicks to set up for big moves..which are mostly also kicks. Erica seemed to have her mind more fixated on the title match at Renegade Nation, as she made Tracy and Kaie do most of the heavy lifting, which proved to be their downfall. Iroha followed Hope Mach's lead as they both took Erica and Tracy over the top rope as Christina Angel hit a high kick on Kaie that set up for the Angel Driver and the pin. A big win for "Future Past", and a great debut for Christina Angel. The Lady Renegades division is continuing to grow by leaps and bounds. After the match, Jeff Andonuts came out again.

Jeff Andonuts: Great match ladies! I was really excited the whole time! You're probably wondering why I'm out here. Well that's because Bloody Rose didn't feel like showing up at E3. Something about not having time for video games or some such nonsense. She wanted me to run things for her, and didn't give me much of a choice really. I have just seem Iroha and Christina Angel prove exactly why we're happy to have them among the Lady Renegades. When Bloody Rose figures out the situation revolving the Lady Renegades Tag Titles, which are now missing a champ due to her being fired, I'm sure the two of you will be getting a call. In the meantime, I've decided to be very scientific and make a match adjustment for Renegade Nation. It's going to kill two birds with one stone. At Renegade Nation, Hope Mach will take on her mother's tag partner Kelly Steele, EBW veteran Paula, and Elevation's Tracy in a #1 Contender match for the right to challenge either M's or Erica, whoever walks out with the title. I think it's going to be an excellent match, and we can all thank science for it!

Tracy: More like bullshit!

Jeff Andonuts: Science Tracy! Science!

E3 Interview Stage

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here the, Grim Fandango of wrestling, and I'm joined by Television Champion Takumi Inui. I'm told you have a challenge for to issue?

Takumi Inui: That's right. I don't know who you are, but you attacked me, just like you attacked Makoto Kusaka. He and I haven't seen eye to eye, but something horrible has happened to him to make him this way, and I blame you. Whoever you are, I challenge you at Renegade Nation. Face me, man to man. That's all I've got to say.

Tommy Dukes: Hey, you excited about any games announced at E3? Takumi? Takumi?

E3 Renegades Locker Room

Grind is seen lacing up his roller blades before rolling over to Trevor Mach.

Grind: You ready for this?

Trevor Mach: I am.

Grind: You sure we shouldn't bring Tomo instead of this Dragon guy?

Trevor Mach: He wants to get his hands dirty in this? Let him.

Grind: You uh....you alright?

Trevor Mach: I've been better. You ever have this fire burning in the pit of your stomach? Anger that's gnawing away at you?

Grind: Yeah, you did it remember?

Trevor Mach: Oh yeah. I'm humanity's greatest monster. I forgot for a minute.

Grind: It all worked out. Just one too many misunderstandings. Plus, I was just as guilty of letting my emotions takes me down some dark roads. I'd give anything to be able to shake off all those bad vibes. I think forgiveness is the solution though.

Trevor Mach: God forgives, I don't. It's never been in the cards bro. That kind of forgiveness would have to come from a Saint. Ask Tack to do it for me. We've got a match to get to. Diamond Pier will be one and done in Havok.

Grind: 87's...or Mullet Club...whatever...will keep on rolling. *fist bump*

Trevor Mach: *fist bump* Let's go.

Retro Hippie: Guys, your match isn't next.

Grind: It's going to take forever to wade through all those people. Have to get an early start.

Retro Hippie: Ah yes, it'll take forever to get to the ring, so you start there early. The Orton Strategy.

-The next match saw Tack Angel taking on Razorblade, in what promised to be an amazing singles encounter, and a prelude to both opponents matches at Renegade Nation. People lie though. They break their promises. It really sucks. No, just as Tack and Razorblade were in the middle of a hard hitting match, the Pentaverate came out again to interfere. They had Tack on the ropes, but Amigo came back to tip the scales, getting some shots in on Razorblade while he was at it. Subculture managed to snake his way into the ring through the crowd and belted Tack Angel hard with the KO Punch. Swift Security finally got control of things as Subculture laughed and flashed even more cash at Jeff Andonuts. The HOO of Havok was furious.

-Main event time, as Royal Crown Champion Trevor Mach and Grind teamed up with Dragon Shiryu to take on the invading Diamond Pier. Shiryu was trying to do the noble thing, by trying to help Mach out of a jam he felt he put him in thanks to his allegations. The Edo team Diamond Pier, all former champions, came to Eagleland to get revenge on Trevor Mach, following the sick burns he unleashed...following the actual burning of Edo before that. Mach was quick to jump in with the likes of Takashi, mocking his air guitar nonsense, saying Steele was doing it better. His game plan seemed to be to get them even madder, which was for some reason making him even madder. Shiryu tried to keep him calm and wrestle in his place along with Grind, but he kept tagging back in to provoke the Edo team. This lead to a very dysfunctional team. Late in the match, Kota Hayashi went to the top rope when he didn't need to, because he likes to show off his flippy shit, when he's actually great and even better in my opinion when he stays on the fucking ground, and missed a Corkscrew 630 onto Mach. The Bad Man proceeded to knee him repeatedly in the corner, until Shiryu was finally able to reach over and tag himself in, more to probably save Hayashi. Mach, was covered in blood, and had to be dragged to the ropes by Grind, who tried to calm him down as Shiryu picked up Hayashi with a Dragon Suplex to score the pin and the win. After the match, Diamond Pier tried to attack Mach again, but Shiryu and Grind helped in routing them. Mach had Hayashi in the corner with a boot to his throat, and refused to let up, until he was pulled off. He was quick to grab a mic.

Trevor Mach: STAY OFF ME SHIRYU! What, you don't think I deserve to get a little payback?! What did I do to them? I ran my mouth, and I fucking helped SAVE THEM! People like them are what is wrong with the fucking world! I helped save them! I don't care if you like my methods or not! I couldn't care less that they came after me either! You say shit, and it comes back to bite you! Just like you calling me Hades is going to bite you. You know, I've held back a lot of anger, but I have something to say to a lot of you out there, not just Edo. Back in the day, you COULD say stuff like what I've said, and if you said something that lead to a beating, you earned that beating, but you had the right to say it regardless! The world isn't like that anymore! You say or do anything that doesn't fall in line, and you get CRUCIFIED! Well go ahead! Crucify me! Hammer the nails into my hands! I saved you people! Takashi, your people have shit taste if they think you're the best there is! Hayashi, you're one of the biggest wastes of talent I've ever seen! You choose NOW to get all nationalistic again? Where has that shit been? Why don't you teach it to Eagleland, cause it sure as hell needs it! No, instead we're one microagression away from banning free will forever! I'm only 33, and yet I'm looking at the kids coming after me, and instead of hope, I have disgust. You're the weakest generation. THE WEAKEST! Shiryu, you're going to be the stand in for all those weak people at Renegade Nation! My actions offend you SO MUCH that you think I'm Hades?! You'll wish I was Hades when it's over! He'd probably be nicer.

Dragon Shiryu: Trevor I-

Grind: Trevor stop!

The crowd fell silent as Trevor Mach threw down the microphone and walked to the back. Tack Angel tried to get in his way.

Tack Angel: Trevor? What's going on buddy?

Trevor Mach: Out of my way Tack.

Tack Angel: Relax man. I know things are tough, but you can't give up on hope man. I know how much this stuff bothers you but-

Trevor Mach: OUT OF MY WAY TACK!

Tack Angel: NO! You know what? I'm not going to get out of your way! You never listened to me when I told you you were taking it too far before, so I'm not going to listen to you now. This isn't you man. This isn't what you are. You're not supposed to be like this.

Trevor Mach: ..No man, the world's not supposed to be like this. It's supposed to make more sense than me! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE SANE ONE!

Tack Angel: I was just on my way out there when I say what you were doing. I can't let you keep doing this man. You think they were mad at you before? What do you think is going to happen now?!

Trevor Mach: That's my problem Tack! If you're my friend, you'll step aside right now.

Tack Angel: ...Alright. Just....don't give up Trevor. Just calm down. The fight is over.

Trevor Mach: ...It's not over until I say it's over.

Nerma: Hello Renegades, Nerma here, with a big news update! I know I always say that, and the relevance of the stories range from sorta to WHOA, but this one ranks right up there. Not only is the flagship show being renamed to Renegade Nation, but the channel is getting a rename as well. Basically, it's all getting a new coat of paint. Havok Battle Network is now Renegade Television, or RTV, and we are now officially Havok: Renegade Wrestling. It's a push to brand ourselves as the Renegades, something Trevor Mach has recently embraced in a whole different way. That's just a few of the changes coming after our last big event. Smart Brain has made a decree, that stables must now sign documentation to become a legit group and receive benefits as a result. They made a shocker announcement that stables can now only consist of 3 wrestlers and 1 manager max. That's huge news, as it means the Mullet Club will have to disband. It appears that the Pentaverate knew in advance, as they cut the Eagleland Males from the team. I assume they will have a new name that reflects the three of them. We actually have the scene of the Mullet Club parting ways I'm just now hearing, so let's roll the footage!

*Former* Mullet Club Locker Room

Grind, Ishihiro Tomo, Tack Angel, and Retro Hippie are on one side of the room, with the Weekend Wrecking Crew on the other. They are busy rummaging through possessions.

Tack Angel: Alright Mike, if the groups have to break up, we need to give back our stuff. I need my kick pads back please.

Kinniku Mike: Fine with me, I don't want to be apart of a Mullet Club anymore anyways!

Grind: Hey, we agreed it wouldn't get weird!

Kinniku Mike: Well it did! Uuuu! You make me so mad Grind, taking my beloved Trios title! My wife is so mad at me for losing that! I have to get it back! I want a rematch!

Grind: Fine man, you can have it, just don't make this weird. We're still bros right?

Kinniku Mike: ...I guess.

Magnum PT: Yes, of course we are Chief.

Erik Stone: I don't think we ever said an actual word to each other...but yeah sure.

Tack Angel: You guys will be the Weekend Wrecking Crew, and we'll be the 87's again.

Retro Hippie: Problem with that.

Tack Angel: What is it?

Retro Hippie: It's supposed to be 3 wrestlers and a manager. I have a title, am I still a manager?

Tack Angel: Uh...you MANAGE to bring up a good point. Ha....no? Well honestly, I have no idea.

Grind: And what about Trevor? Is he with us still?

Tack Angel: I don't know where he is. After Renegade Nation he disappeared. He's been long gone for a couple weeks it feels like. He's on a rampage.

Grind: He's rebelling against the new normal, and the so called progressives are tearing him apart for it. The Edo situation set him off, but it's been burning for some time. I don't like the hypocrisy anymore than he does.

Tack Angel: Really? You too? You guys have history.

Grind: We both got tricked. We all got this tat. We're 87's, and that's family to me. Family forgives right?

Tack Angel: ...Maybe I need to be forgiven for what I did. I got in his way, and I kicked him when he was already down. He had just lost the title and-

Magnum PT: Chief was about to shove a man's face in fire. I think you did alright with what you told him. Good ploy.

Tack Angel: It's true though.

Magnum PT: What?

Kinniku Mike: Hey Tack, if you want your kick pads back you have to give me back my copy of "Big Titty Prostate Milkers 5".

Tack Angel: WHAT?! WHAT!? WHAT?! I DON'T HAVE THAT!

Kinniku Mike: On you? That's fine. I hope you didn't leave it in the dvd player though. Wives tend to find those things very quickly when we do bro.

Tack Angel: ....I need to...go home.

Nerma: That's not the only big news today. We've got the next two cards posted, and boy what a couple of shows they are! For the first installment of the new flagship Renegade Nation, we have a Havok World Championship match. Subculture may have gotten a controversial win over Tack Angel, but it was a win none the less, and now he is getting a title shot against new champion Jackson Kain. Apparently, he wanted it immediately, and Kain was happy to oblige him. In fact, we're getting several title matches this week as a celebration of the new Renegade Television revamp. Dragon Shiryu is shaking off his inferno match success to take on big New Wave name Severide. Takumi Inui will also be putting his Television title on the line, with an opponent yet to be named. We're also going to see the Lady Renegades tag title decided in the main event of Xcite. Add to that a Trios rematch, and Eagleland open challenge, and we're just jam packed with wrestling action. Don't miss this amazing week of wrestling! Welcome to Renegade Television!

The Mach Residence

In a dark room, Trevor Mach is sitting in front of a television.

Television Anchor: In a historic vote, the results of #Fogxit are in! Foggyland will be leaving the Globalist Hive Mind and making its own way in the world as a liberated nation. Of course, we already have those out there thrashing the result, knocking the people that made the vote possible. A divided world with most wanting to live in a Hive, against the feelings of the Foggyland majority. You know what they say though, we get knocked down to get back up.

Trevor Mach: No, we get knocked down because someone knocked us down. We get back up to knock back.



The show kicked off with a massive fireworks show, and the introduction of the NEW Havok World Champion Jackson Kain. He came out with the former champ Degrees, who looked a little busted up from the Iron Man match.

Jackson Kain: Renegades! So this is the new show eh? This is our flagship. Renegade Nation: The Movie was so popular that we've now got Renegade Nation: The Series. The lead actor has even agreed to be in the show as well. That's right it's Lights! Camera! Action! Jackson! The NEW Havok World Champion! I battled my best fried in the match of a lifetime! I mean, we really goofed around during the build, but that match was one of the top all time best Jackson Kain matches, and I say this as a big fan of his work.

Degrees: I guess that proves it...you're the best. EVEN THOUGH I pinned you first, and injured myself in the process, making your two pins much easier. I GUESS you're the best.....just kidding. Well done buddy. You really were the best....on that night. We'll have another match soon.

Jackson Kain: I'm looking forward to it. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you....taking the falls...no I mean helping me be more than just the awesome movie star that I am. Thanks Doc. Now that I am a 2-Time Havok World Champion, I think it's time to-

Subculture: Hold it! I wouldn't celebrate. I wouldn't make any plans. That title is leaving your waist by the end of the night. Your title is coming to us.

Jackson Kain: Oh yeah? The Pentaverate -2?

Subculture: No, you can call us "The Supremacy".

Jackson Kain: Good name...no seriously...good name.

Degrees: Yep...I like it. Well done.

Subculture: I beat Tack Angel and now I have a shot at that title. As you know, I want that shot tonight.

Jackson Kain: Never say "as you know", it's bad script writing 101.

Subculture: Make jokes movie star. I got a movie script for you. A kid starts out as a street dog, captures the title, becomes a hero, loses his eyesight, and fights to survive. He then regains his eyesight and FINALLY recaptures the championship.

Jackson Kain: Sounds hokey. Who is your audience? Blind people? They don't even watch movies!

Degrees: I'm going to let you two hash this out. My face is broken, and I feel like laying down in the back so-

Razorblade: Hold it right there Doc. You have a match with me tonight, so don't even think about it. I'm going to enjoy this beating.

Degrees: Oh yeah, this is going to be wonderful. How could I forget?

Subculture: The Supremacy will reign tonight. I beat Tack Angel, how hard could it be to beat yo-

Jeff Andonuts: Subculture!

Jeff Andonuts comes out with Harvey Refman, and another referee that looks just like him!

Jeff Andonuts: I figured you out Green Bomber! I'm onto you! You spend all your time punching, but thinking, that's my wheel house! I knew Harvey Refman had too much integrity so I went searching, and I had Swift Security find this man! Jackson Kain, you'll recognize him once I pull off this balding wig!

Jackson Kain: Stunt double?! Son of a bitch bastard!

Subculture: Shit.

Jeff Andonuts: Feculence indeed Subbie! Oh, make no mistake, you got one over on me, and I won't reverse the decision. HOWEVER, Tack Angel is not booked tonight for a reason. That's because on this special debut episode of Renegade Nation, the main event match between Jackson Kain and Subculture for the Havok World Championship will have a Special Referee! Here he is!

Amigo: Hi.

Subculture: Huh?

Amigo: Just kidding, it's this guy.

Tack Angel: Surprise mothertrucker!  

Subculture: Dammit!

Jackson Kain: Woohoo!

-The opening match saw the 87's defend the Trios Championship against the Weekend Wrecking Crew in a rematch from the Twoson event. They were all stable mates then, but now, because of the new stable ruling, they stand against each other as rival factions this time around, and that made for a much harsher match. I could tell you about it, but instead, I'll just say that Kinniku Mike hit the Dragon Suplex on Retro Hippie to score the pin and regain the titles for the Crew! What a title flip flop!

-Luchadores collided once again, as Los Tiburon took on Kiva in a fantastic outing. Tiburon has been madly grappling his way into the hearts of the Renegade Nation, while Kiva has struggled to recover from his early career highs and the loss of the Kiva-mobile. Kiva missed the Kiva Dive and ate Brainbuster to lose the match to Los Tiburon. The Grapple Bastard wins. After the match, the man resembling Hexagon III once again tried to attack Los Tiburon. The actual Hex III grabbed him again and pulled him away, leaving Tiburon looking confused....I think....he's wearing a mask.

-The next match saw Slam Master Jam and Flying Man take on the Eagleland Males in a #1 Contender Tag match. Before the match, Saxon and Novus grabbed mics.

Saxon: Hey! Stop laughing! Yeah, I see you over there!

Novus: We weren't kicked out of the group, we left of our own volition. In fact, we LOST the titles because we listened to Subculture. We're totally better now on our own!

Saxon: They might be The Supremacy now, but we'll always be Eagleland Males!

Flying Man: You lost because of ego. When you wrestle, you're supposed to show courage and embrace your dreams. You embraced the darkness, but we, the DreamStars, will embrace our dreams!

With that a flash of light enveloped the buddy box, and DReAM returned to the land of the Renegades, apparently as the third member of this new stable. The odd team caught the Eagleland Males off guard with how well they were able to compete against the former champs. Saxon and Novus weren't used to wrestling without their former stablemates, as Flying Man hit the Chickenwing Neckbreaker on Saxon and pinned him for the upset win. The DreamStars are heading to a championship match against Firebrand X and Camilo Ortega, who looked confused as they clapped on the stage.

Backstage...somewhere

Tack Angel is trying to get his dollar to work in the vending machine when...

Tack Angel: *sigh* All I want is a 100 Grand bar. Then, I can ask Amy if she wants a 100 Grand, show her the candy bar instead of the cash, and sleep on the couch tonight. My plan is fool pr-

Hope Mach: Hey!

Tack Angel: AAAH!

Hope Mach: What the hell did you do to my Dad?!

Tack Angel: WHAT?!

Hope Mach: You kicked him! You SUPER kicked him! You know how much he hate the Superkick!

Tack Angel: It's pronounced SUPERKICK!, and I only did it to stop him from doing something he would regret.

Hope Mach: Why did you tell him that about me?

Tack Angel: I wanted to calm him down! I wanted to show him he had good things in this world, and he shouldn't screw it up!

Hope Mach: Well, I found this note, so I guess you failed! You know, I did time travel to spend time with my parents. That was my business, and not something for you to discuss! Just read this. I'm going to go find my father and talk to him, you know that thing you USUALLY do!? Geez!

Tack Angel: ...I'm sorry? Let's see what this says. "Hope, just remember that it doesn't matter what the press says. It doesn't matter what the politicians say. It doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. When the world tells you to move, you need to stand firm and tell them NO, YOU MOVE." *sigh* He stole that from Captain Eagleland. HOPE! HE STOLE THAT FROM CAPTAIN EAGLELAND! HOPE?

-Clash Champion Bashin Dan was up next against The Supremacy's Maniac. The Anahauc psycho ran wild on Dan, but he card player almost seems to enjoy taking hits repeatedly yelling "take it from the life" as Maniac would hit him. Dan, flipped his Battle Spirit cards into Maniac's face finally, yelling about a "trap card" and sent Maniac to the mat with the Brave Clash. He got a 2.9 on the pin attempt, sending Maniac into a frenzy that lead to him grabbing a chair and attacking Dan, leading to the DQ. Benjamin rushed out to make the save, hitting the Spear on Maniac and sending him to the outside.

Renegade Nation Interview Stage

Tommy Dukes was standing by with the four individuals that attacked Takumi Inui recently. They have been given the name Lucky Clover.

Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, the Rich Evans of Wrestling, and standing by with me....well...straight from Smart Brain...Lucky Clover.

Itsuro Takuma: My name is Itsuro Takuma, and we are Lucky Clover. I am the brains of this operation, so I'll be the one doing the talking here. Mr. J is our muscle. Saeko Kageyama is our "Lady Renegade", and Kitazaki is...well...the wild child. We are the product of Smart Brain's experiments in evolving the perfect fighters. We are designated as "Orphnoch", the next step. You say Akai before us, and we'll just call him a failed experiment. We are here for one reason, to stop the rogue Orphnoch trying to besmirch the good name of Smart Brain. Project Kaiza was no trouble. Makoto Kusaka is in a coma. The next target however....Project Faiz....is your Television Champion. That's right Takumi Inui, you're one of us, you always have been. We'll see to it that your end comes on Xcite, when we challenge you in a Gauntlet for the Television Championship. Defeat all us, and your troubles with Lucky Clover will be over. If you fail however, the real truth about you will be exposed once and for all, and you will be gone from Havok. Smart Brain will pave the way for the next step in wrestling evolution. That's a promise.

Tommy Dukes: Whoa...that's...scary. So Smart Brain really is an evil corporation looking to replace wrestlers with these genetic superiors?

Kitazaki: Nah, don't worry about it.

Tommy Dukes: Oh...alright then. I feel better.

-The beaten former champion Degrees was hoping to rest and recover following his loss in Twoson, but he had a tough mountain to climb in Razorblade ahead of that. A former champion himself, Razorblade was reveling in his victory over Amigo, and bullied the poor Doctor. Degrees staged a late game comeback with the Renegades on his side, but Razorblade escaped a PhDDT and hit the Exploder for the pin and the win. The Supremacy making big moves tonight. We can only hope that Degrees can recover and come back stronger for another push at the title.

-The former Lady Renegades Champion Lady M's teamed with #1 Contender Kelly Steele and Paula against Elevation in 6-Woman tag action. M's was pissed about her loss to Erica, while the 2-Time champ has never seemed happier, beaming and gloating with the title once again. M's took it out on Tracy, getting the win for her team with a Rolling M's on her former partner. Erica's smile quickly faded as she rolled out of the ring, but Kelly Steele had gotten behind her and hit her with the Shredding Backbreaker, letting her know that she's not out of the woods just yet.

-The main event would see the new Havok World Champion Jackson Kain taking on Subculture for the title in his first defense. Tack Angel, the man cheated out of the shot, got to be Special Referee, as Jeff's form of JUSTICE! A great match, considering both men were taken to their limits the night before. Tack Angel to his credit, called it straight down the middle. Subbie saw it differently though and got into Tack's face for the 2.9 following a KO Punch. Jackson jumped to his feet behind Subculture and blasted him with the Shadow Kick for the 3 count and successful defense! Jackson Kain wins, as it looks like 2016 will be his sequel year, a year with an even bigger box office for the new champ?

Time Travelers Anonymous Group

Dr. Timebender: Hello everyone. I'm Dr. Timebender. As you know by now, I was once a megalomaniac time traveler trying to take over the world. I accidentally caused a paradox and destroyed my timeline, leaving me here basically. I decided to start this group as a way for us all to cope with the fact that we are displaced in time...probably forever....cause we just wouldn't listen when people told us it was a bad idea. Who cares about the butterfly effect we said. It was a stupid movie anyway we said. But NOOOOOO...turns out they were RIGHT and not I'm STUCK HERE AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I JUST WANT TO GO HOME AND-*cough cough* Let's get started shall we. Who wants to introduce themselves first?

Camilo Ortega: My name is Camilo Ortega. I came from the future to change my past and make myself very successful. I wiped my mind so that I could blend in perfectly while I waited for my moment. I was thankfully stopped because I realized I was trapped in a time loop of sorts. I have since found the path of Heaven, and I've decided to stay in this time and do my best. I want to make up for my past as well. I am committed to doing what I believe is the right thing.  

Iroha: My name is Iroha. I am a protege of Tack Angel...from the future. I came back to help him with a problem that had already happened by the time I got here. It wasn't supposed to have happened yet, but it did, and it happened differently than it was supposed to. It's really weird. Now, I'm just here to study under my master and hope that Senpai notices me.

Hope Mach: Hope Mach here. I came back to spend time with my parents obviously. I wanted to make sure they didn't know who I was just in case if affected me being born in the first place. It seems it doesn't matter anymore though, because my timeline is gone apparently. It's for the best I suppose. After Tack Angel fell into that wheat thresher my father went off the deep end. Glad to see that's still happening regardless....that was sarcasm by the way. I don't think the tone was there. It's hard to capture it after being deaf for years. My time travel experiment was a little different from all of you. It blew out my hearing in the process. Just glad it's back.

Christina Angel: Christina Angel here. I came back to prevent a calamity too, but unlike Iroha, I don't think it's happened yet. Maybe it won't happen at all. It's hard to remember. I don't know if my trip is part of it, or because my timeline may be gone, but it's fuzzy. I think it involves something with Dragon Shiryu now that I think about it. Something that he's hunting. I don't know. It changes from day to day. Anyways, I wanted to be with my parents too. After the wheat thresher incident I-

Hope Mach: That happened with you too?

Christina Angel: Yeah, I don't know what my Dad was doing near a wheat thresher in the first place.

Hope Mach: Wow. What are the odds.

Iroha: It...uh...it happened in my timeline too. Tack survived the space station, formed a rather large harem, and then fell into a wheat thresher.

Retro Hippie: Hi, I'm

Everyone else: RETRO HIPPIE?!

Retro Hippie: Yeah, I'm from the 60's. I thought that was obvious.

Smart Brain Headquarters, Kyoto Edo

A figure in the shadows watches several television monitors. On one of them is Renegade Television, a network the company owns. Smart Lady walks into the room.

Smart Lady: Be joyous my King, the time is approaching.

?: The pawns are moving into place. The time of my beckoning is nigh.

Smart Lady: We have compiled the data of the strongest fighters on Earth. Lucky Clover, our prototypes, are up and running.

?: They get one chance. I want to see what they can do against Project Faiz.

Smart Lady: All at once? Rumors are that Lady M's wants to get involved.

?: Heh. Let her. I need to see if Lucky Clover is truly what we're looking for.

Smart Lady: What if they aren't?

?: Well, you've already started the wheels in motion on our contingency. Haven't you?

Havok Training Center

New Havok Lady Renegade Momo Miyuki is making short work of trainees in the ring. She is approached by Paula.

Paula: I'm impressed. Welcome to Eagleland!

Momo Miyuki: Paula? It's an honor.

Paula: So you can speak Eaglish?

Momo Miyuki: Very well. We have great respect for you in Edo. You helped make this all possible in Eagleland.

Paula: Well, it was more Ness' idea, but I'm glad it worked out the way that it did. I'm just surprised how well you speak Eaglish. Mike doesn't seem to think you can speak it at all. To be honest, it looks like you don't think much of your new husband.

Momo Miyuki: That's not true at all. The ladies man is really a teddy bear underneath it all. Even more so, he has potential to be World Champion once again. He just needs to...have his rough edges smoothed out.

Paula: Well, I just wanted to let you know that I personally asked to be your first opponent in Havok. I will see you this weekend on The Clash.

Momo Miyuki: I look forward to it.

Smart Brain Arena Hallway

Tack Angel is leaving the locker room, when he sees Trevor Mach walking down the hall.

Tack Angel: Trevor? Trevor wait!

Trevor Mach: ...You need something Tacklebox? Wanting to kick me in the face again?

Tack Angel: I was getting worried. I didn't see you at Renegade Nation. It was the inaugural event. I figured you would be there.

Trevor Mach: I'm working some shit out Tack. Planning my next move.

Tack Angel: You're still...

Trevor Mach: Still what? Not being a clown? I got a lot on my mind right now. The world is screwed up, and the last thing that needs to happen is for the disease of the weakest generation to infect and infest Havok. I think I've bled too much, and lost too much to let it be dragged down into the social justice politically correct muck. Renegades need to make a stand.

Tack Angel: There you go again with the weakest generation. They are not. They are just different, just like we're different from the generation before us. It's just the way it-

Trevor Mach: NO! I don't believe that! You like to make fun of me because I believe the 80's were the last great decade. It just happens to be true. You tell me that this world is better than it used to be. It's chaotic man!

Tack Angel: You love chaos!

Trevor Mach: Chaos is subjective. I have a heart dammit! I care! I'm not a sociopath like you make me out to be!

Tack Angel: I never said you were! I just think we can go about this a better way!

Trevor Mach: They won't let us!

Tack Angel: What is it that you want?

Trevor Mach: I want the Renegades to be able to do, or think, or say whatever they want to. I don't want to force anyone to agree with me with threats of hate crimes and triggered little college age bitches running off to their safe spaces. If you don't like what I have to say, if you don't like what I'm doing, you get in my face and fight back. REAL FREEDOM!

Tack Angel: Trevor, the world has changed to the point some things just don't fly anymore.

Trevor Mach: And yet NO ONE says a word about SOME of the evils in the world because it's not politically correct. The globalists, they bury their heads in the sand. They look the other way. They blame the wrong people! I might just give them a reason to blame me someday Tack. I'm tired of making jokes right now. I've joked for 10 years about all of this. I can't look the other way like you. I just can't. I'm drawing a line. Now if you'll excuse me bro, I need to find my daughter....my actual biological daughter apparently.

Tack Angel: .....Am I still coming to your house for D&D tonight?

Trevor Mach: .......Dammit yes...bring soda.

Smart Brain Arena - Parking Lot

The doors to the underground parking lot slowly open up, with four figures walking in. Wearing Smart Brain tracksuits, the Lucky Clover group prepared to do battle against Television Champion Takumi Inui later in the night. As the door began to close a man rolled under the door desperately and dusted himself off.

Tack Angel: Whoa! That was close! You guys have NO IDEA how grateful I am! I lost my key somewhere! I-...uh...see that you don't really want to talk. I'll just...I'll just wander over yander...yeah.

Lady Renegades Locker Room

Erica is pacing back and forth with her title.

Erica: Girls, Elevation is meant to be the best. We've cut the fat, and I've gotten my title back. I just want to say that you two need to hold onto those title tonight, or their WILL be consequences.

Tracy: Don't talk down to me Erica! I'm a former champ too you know!

Kaie: So am-

Erica: Hey! Shut it! You're still a rookie compared to us! You sold your soul to Elevation, destroying the career of Sunny Malibu in the process. You belong to us, so don't fail us.

Kaie: ...I belong to no one. I belong to no God, no Government, or no Elevation.

Tracy: ...She's being edgy.

Kaie: I'LL KILL-

Erica: Again SHUT IT! Don't fail me! Failure WILL lead to consequences!

Tracy: ...You said that already.

Kaie: ...Shut up.




Xcite is here! The first Xcite following out Twoson event comes after major changes, and the escalation of several feuds. On this night, several titles would be on the line, and the future...literally...would have a chance at greatness in the main event.

-The opening contest saw the knight Benjamin take on 5th Wave Renegade Super 3D, the colorful and heroic superhero type who earned a spot on the roster. Unfortunately for him, Benjamin was more experienced, and hit the Spear on 3D to score the win.

-The next match saw Magnum PT issue an Open Challenge for his Eagleland Championship. After winning back the Trios Championship, PT was flying high and ready to face anybody. He got...

Noah Jennings: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I'm the guy that's going to take that title from you! I'm a former World Champion for crying out loud! I had to PAY the Pentaverate....now the Supremacy, to cheat and break up matches just to get rid of the buddy box, and now it's back! Nothing changes around here that suits me! It's always stacking the odds against me! That's fine though, cause tonight my luck is going to change. I'm going to get in that ring, win that title, and finally....FINALLY turn my career and life around. You have no idea how badly I need this win, and I'm going to get it! FINALLY!

PT hit the Mustache Ride on Jennings to get the pin and defend his title.

Xcite Interview Stage

Nerma: Nerma here, the voice of the Renegades, and I'm joined by Television Champion Takumi Inui. Tonight, he'll be going up against Lucky Clover. We don't know the whole capacity of this fight yet, but we know that Smart Brain is testing its new experiment tonight in full. This isn't a glimpse, but the whole battle in one night! How can you even prepare for something like this?!

Takumi Inui: ...They called me one of them....that much is true.

Nerma: Wait...what?

Takumi Inui: It's time to get it off my chest. I WAS one of them, but I rebelled. At first, I didn't realize their full nature, and their true intentions. Then, Kusaka told me what happened at his school. He blamed Smart Brain, and he blamed me. I didn't believe I had anything to do with his anger, but then it came back to me....a blocked memory. I remembered that I was there that night. I tried to save people though. I tried to save them. Kusaka....I tried to save them. That part of my life is over now. I'm here now as a Renegade...the Television Champion. I will defend this title, defeat Lucky Clover, and I will give dreams to the world. I won't have to do it alone either.

Nerma: Wait...where are you...wait was that Lady M's?

-Takumi Inui was up next to face the Lucky Clover gauntlet. His title was on the line, but more than that might have been at stake with the Smart Brain team sent to eliminate him specifically. His first opponent would be the massive, small dog loving, Mr. J. The large imposing man was not a technical worker at all, relying on his size to overpower Takumi. He let the fists fly, but nothing seemed to keep the big man down. He grabbed Takumi by the throat, looking to maybe snap his neck, but Takumi managed to hit his Heart Punch, which did knock the wind out of Mr. J, allowing Takumi to land his Crimson Smash, but the Smash didn't take J off his feet. The stunned Takumi backed away, flicked his wrist and landed another Crimson Smash, the second finisher taking J to the ground and allowing Takumi to score the 1-2-3.

Mr. J dusted himself off and stood tall in the ring. Takumi looked puzzled, waiting for J to attack, but he waited for the youngest member of Smart Brain, Kitazaki, to join him in the ring. The duo made quite the contrast, with a large black man and a young and short Edo boy, but J seemed to be a little nervous about the boy. He pet his small dog Chaco before the two began to loom on Takumi. That's when Makoto Kusaka jumped into the ring, finally recovered from his earlier attack.

Makoto Kusaka: You plan on double teaming Inui?! He's MY opponent to defeat! Inui, you and I will settle our score later. Right now, I have a different score to settle with them.

Takumi Inui: ...*nod*

-Takumi and Kusaka joined forces in an impressive push against the Smart Brain duo. Kusaka took the lead on this one, with Takumi struggling to fight Kitazaki on the outside. The young boy seemed to be uncaring and sociopathic as he missed Takumi and hit a Renegade watching in the crowd. Back in the ring, Kusaka lined up Mr. J for the Gold Smash and clobbered him, scoring the 1-2-3.

Kitazaki backed off, with Mr. J rolling out of the ring. Kusaka wouldn't allow Kitazaki to escape and the two brawled to the back. Itsuro Takuma sent Saeko Kageyama to fight next. Takumi didn't wish to fight a Lady Renegade, so Lady M's stood in his place. She grabbed his Television Title, mocking like it was on the line and flicking her wrist in a nod to Takumi, and a jab to Smart Brain. The scowling woman jumped into the ring to face the former Lady Renegades Champion.

-Lady M's and Saeko Kageyama battled in a hard hitting effort. She proved to be very flexible, and able to dodge and bend to escape the elbows of M's. Seemingly trained specifically to avoid that kind of offense, she also attacked with odd snapping motions that seemed to clip M's on the face a few times, causing her to bleed profusely. M's feigned being more injured than she was, and with Saeko dropping her guard, M's finally laid in with the elbows, hitting the Rolling M's before using the Sexy Strong Stunner to seal the deal. 1-2-3! Lady M's eliminates another member of Lucky Clover.

M's pushed Saeko out of the ring and opened the ropes to invite Takumi back in. She motioned for the last member of the Clover group to jump in and meet his face. The intellectual of the group removed his glasses and set them aside. The last of the Lucky Clover would face Takumi next, apparently with the title on the line again.

-Main event for Takumi here, as his gauntlet would end one war or another with Takuma. The book worm was shown to have several scars, perhaps part of the Smart Brain training to turn him into the perfect wrestler. He was able to match Takumi at every turn. In a fantastic sequence they both tried sweeping legs at different times with the other jumping the sweep and sweeping right back. Takuma had the advantage of being fresh for the match and wore down Takumi, setting him up for a mocking Heart Punch, but Takumi beat him to the punch, sending him back and lining him up for the Crimson Smash! 1-2-3! Takumi survived the Lucky Clover gauntlet and sent the Smart Brain experiment reeling. The title remains with Takumi, who remains with the company.

Smart Brain Headquarters - Kyoto, Edo

A dark figure watches on multiple monitors as Takumi Inui, Makoto Kusaka, and Lady M's vanquish Lucky Clover. Smart Lady walks in.

Smart Lady: Please don't be sad my King, but the experiment has failed.

?: Do not fret. Our evolution will be assured. The world will learn the truth and be renewed by Smart Brain. We will just look to those who already excel. It's time to initiate Plan B.

-Rose Mulligan and Jenny Everywhere were up next in Lady Renegades action. A fun match for the debuting Jenny Everywhere, who looks to be experienced beyond her years, even though their are no records of her before the 5th Wave show. She had the crowd on her side, something which upset Rose, who lifted Jenny Everywhere for the Bloody Bomber and the pin.

-The Royal Crown Championship match was up next, featuring Dragon Shiryu defending against the New Wave's strong and silent fighter from the frozen Winters, Severide. This turned out to not just be a match of the night, but a MOTY contender. A punching match that left both men bloody and bruised. Shiryu had only been rocked this badly when Takumi punched him to death and back, while Severide had never seen these limits before and showed that he could fight a defensive fight on his back as well, giving the Renegades a broader glimpse of his range. The match unfortunately ended in a Time Limit Draw. Shiryu escaped with the title, but joined the Renegades and wanting more time, as the Ring Saint never back down from a fight. They weren't given more time, but the promise of a rematch is more than enough to tide some over.

-Tack Angel took on the young gun New Waver Johnny Starbound in the semi-main. An interesting match, with the veteran seeing what the youngster had to offer. The high flier got a lot of offense on Tack when he tried to match his high flying style with a Moonsault, but Tack either forgot to stretch or felt the ravages of age, as he threw his back out attempting it. Finally, he recovered and caught Johnny off guard by rolling out of the way of the 450. He picked up Johnny for the Angel Driver and pinned him for the win. As he shook hands with Johnny, the Supremacy hit the ring, attacking Tack and Johnny Starbound just for being there. Subculture grabbed a mic.

Subculture: You screwed me Tack. You ruined my plans. That's fine though, I'm used to it. With time and planning and violence, I will be in place for my title reign. Before that though, I figured I'd make an example out of you. If you get in my way....if the 87's get in my way...Supremacy will destroy them....we'll destroy you.

-Main event time as...

Tack Angel: MY BACK! Please help me!

Grind: I got you Tack. I got you buddy.

Tack Angel: It just hurts....SO MUCH...I-I...are you on skates still?

Grind: ...Oh shit.

Tack Angel: WHOOOA! MY BACK EVEN MORE NOW!

-Main event time as...

Tack Angel: SOMEONE GET ME A STRETCHER PLEASE?! I NEED SOME ICE OR HEAT! I DON'T KNOW WHICH! MAYBE GET BOTH!

-Main eve-

Tack Angel: Christina?! Help me please future daughter!

Christina Angel: We were just heading out for our match, but of course I-

Tack Angel: Oh no! That's right! It's your match! Just go daughter! I'm proud of you! Do a great job!

Christina Angel: Are you sure Dad? I could-

Tack Angel: No, please go. I'll be fine...I'll just lay here...it's nice.

Grind: ...I think my leg is broken.

Tack Angel: ....Shoot.

-Main event time as....are we good?...as the Lady Renegades tag titles were on the line. Elevation's Kaie was given Dorado's half of the titles, and she'd be joining Tracy against The Future Literally's Christina Angel and Iroha. A great clash of styles, made all the better by the No Interference period policy of Jeff Andonuts. A near fall with Tracy hitting the TikTak on Iroha, but Christina made the save and turned the tide. Kaie went for the Celtic Hand Grenade, but Christina blocked it, and lifted her up for a move she calls the Heaven Buster in honor of her father and scored the 1-2-3! An incredible upset that sees this brand new team capture the titles from the established talent! A huge upset to end the show this week.

Smart Brain Headquarters - Kyoto, Edo

Tack Angel wakes up from what feels like a days long sleep. He looks around and finds himself in a cage. Around him are monitors showing events around the world, and a lab that seems to be running tests. Based on the pictures, it appears they are running tests on Tack. As he looks around, a voice startles him.

Trevor Mach: I should have died in space.

Tack Angel: Ah! Trevor? What? Where is this place? What are you talking about?

Trevor Mach: I should have died in space. At least then, I could have died a hero to my family.

Tack Angel: Nobody wanted that. We were all happy to see you come back.

Trevor Mach: Even now?

Tack Angel: If you know you're making the wrong choice, help me out of here.

Trevor Mach: That's the thing Tack, I'm not making the wrong choice. The world has gone to hell, and you were just going to let it happen.

Tack Angel: What could I have done?! It's not that I don't care, I just never thought I could make a difference.

Trevor Mach: YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE A DIFFERENCE! As it turns out, you have exactly what they needed to make a difference. You're going to change the world.

Tack Angel: What do you mean?

Trevor Mach: I'll let them explain it. You know I'm not good at the techno talk. I have to find Christina and Iroha and-

Tack Angel: The girls? Are they alright?

Trevor Mach: Of course. They're helping us change the world.

Tack Angel: How could you drag them into this!? You were supposed to be better than this! I always had hope that you'd pull yourself together and-

Trevor Mach: ME?! PULL MYSELF TOGETHER?! I'VE BEEN YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR YEARS! I'VE WAITED FOR YOU TO PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOU ASS AND BE SOMETHING! I TRIED TO MAKE YOU DO IT BEFORE! YOU SHOT ME AND THAT STILL DIDN'T DO IT!

Tack Angel: You REALLY aren't going to let me live that down are you?!

Trevor Mach: I'm NOT kidding! This is NOT a joke! You were supposed to be the damn hero! You were supposed to help me and the 87's! We were going to help the Renegades! Before that you fought over my beliefs and you shot me! Before that you fought me on the future style of wresting! Countless times you've fought me! You've ALWAYS been in my way when I needed you the most!

Tack Angel: I was trying to protect you from yourself!

Trevor Mach: I DON'T NEED IT! I don't need your help anymore! They are getting what they want, and all you need to do is sit in that cage until the time comes.

Tack Angel: What about friendship?

Trevor Mach: Yeah what about friendship Tack? I've always been one big sigh to you. You mock me when I'm having fun, and you stop me whenever I try to stand up for something.

Tack Angel: I believed you could do better.

Trevor Mach: Whatever you thought you saw in me is dead, and you can thank the weakest generation for that!

Tack Angel: Weakest generation!? You're the one who took Christina from me! You took Iroha! YOU TOOK THEM FROM ME! YOU TURNED MY OWN DAUGHTER AGAINST ME!

Trevor Mach: THEY CAME OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL TACK! THIS ISN'T ON ME! IT'S ON YOU! They wanted to save you from something, and you wanted nothing to do with Iroha. Given the chance, you would abandon us ALL!

Tack Angel: That is not true! Trevor, you're my friend.

Trevor Mach: And now old friend, you're going to do what friends do and have my back...whether you want to or not.

Tack Angel: .....

One Eyed Jacks

Degrees, Lady M's, Jeff Andonuts, and Takumi Inui are all sitting at a table talking among a crowd.

Lady M's: Spill it Jeff, we're on a timer here!

Jeff Andonuts: I'll tell you all about it. I looked into the financials for Smart Brain, and I figured out what they were doing. They were researching us. They were looking to build soldiers. They were looking at genetics.

Degrees: I noticed this! Every now and then, I'd get requests from Smart Brain for the files on all the Renegades and Lady Renegades. They were looking at blood types, DNA, all of that. I thought it was weird that they had us doing extensive DNA tests. I guess we know why now.

Takumi Inui: Orphnochs.

Lady M's: You need to spell this shit out for me guys.

Jeff Andonuts: They are trying to make super soldiers called Orphnochs. They wanted to use our promotion and make us all lab rats. The young child Teruo Suzuki is no small child. I looked up the founder of Smart Brain, and a puppet stand in was pictured years back with a small child standing next to him...Teruo Suzuki. He was the first experiment, the Orphnoch King.

Takumi Inui: They tried to turn people into Orphnochs. I was one of them.

Degrees: I didn't detect any changes to your DNA though.

Takumi Inui: Maybe they've just gotten good at hiding it.

Lady M's: So they Capcom'd us. They wanted to use us too remember? Remember Polestar? The memory wipe? It's the same shit, different location.

Lady M's: What does Trevor have to do with any of this?

Jeff Andonuts: I'm curious about what several people have to do with this. Yuji Kiba, he mysteriously disappeared one day, and we believe he was connected to Smart Brain in some way. Makoto Kusaka, we have footage that showed him dying, turning to dust. Yet now he is a member of Lucky Clover, when he hated Smart Brain up until this point. What do Christina Angel and Iroha have to do with all of this? How could they have turned so easily? Trevor's part in this seems simple enough I'm afraid. He wants to change the world, and they're giving him that avenue.

Lady M's: I don't blame him! He's right, everybody has gone insane! If he and I can see that, you know it's a problem! I just wish his solution wasn't with Smart Brain. Still though...if they get the job done...

Jeff Andonuts: Tali, you're not going to turn heel on us in the middle of this are you?

Lady M's: .....

Jeff Andonuts: Tali.

Lady M's: No....probably not. So, what are we doing? It's obvious we have to go save them....and Tack I guess.

Takumi Inui: We must stop Smart Brain, no matter the cost. They're going to wipe out the world. We can't allow that. We must give dreams to the-

Lady M's: Yeah yeah! You're such a white bread baby face for a potential Orphnoch monster.

Degrees: We may need help.

Jackson Kain: I thought you'd never ask!

Degrees: How long have you been there...standing behind us....dressed as a waiter....with an obvious fake mustache?

Jackson Kain: Long enough! I'm the Havok World Champion I HAVE to save Havok from Smart Brain!

Kinniku Mike: I'm in too!

Magnum PT: Me too!

Erik Stone: Me three!

Lady M's: I feel dumb for not seeing them sitting right over there. Whatever, let's just get the hell out of here. Where are we going?

Jeff Andonuts: We're going to Edo. Kyoto, Edo...Smart Brain HQ.

Kyoto, Edo - Smart Brain Headquarters

Tack Angel is pacing back and forth, looking for a way out, when Teruo Suzuki, several scientists, Smart Lady, and Lucky Clover enter the room.

Teruo Suzuki: Hello Tack Angel, thank you for being so kind to me, trying to help me. Now, you'll help me more than you ever thought you could.

Tack Angel: Christina! Iroha! Please stop this! This is madness!

Christina Angel: ...

Iroha: You had your chance.

Trevor Mach: Oh look, Tack Angel suddenly cares...when it interferes with his little bubble.

Tack Angel: Trevor...

Makoto Kusaka: Shut up!

Tack Angel: What are YOU doing here? I thought you died!

Teruo Suzuki: It was just another copy. The actual Makoto Kusaka has been dead for some time. This Orphnoch copy is all that remains, the last of the experiment model. The previous one regained his memories, thought he was real. This one is the best version. It's hard to control them when you don't have the base body in tact. With the person in stasis, we can control the brain. Well, we COULD do that, but we're ready to try something new altogether.

Tack Angel: What do you mean?

Teruo Suzuki: Your blood...your DNA...it has exactly what I've been looking for. I have tried several ways to find the perfect soldiers I'd need to bring about a new order, but this works much more to my favor. Hidden in your DNA is the "melting pot". You have the blend and combinations of heritage that could be modified for my genetic bomb.

Tack Angel: Your what?!

Teruo Suzuki: I will set off a genetic bomb that will alter the DNA of everyone in the world. Those who are compatible will become Orphnochs.

Tack Angel: And those who don't?

Teruo Suzuki: Will turn to dust. I'm expecting 5-10% at most will be compatible. It's the best we can do, even with your DNA.

Tack Angel: 5-10%?! YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DEATH OF OVER 6 BILLION PEOPLE! YOU CAN'T DO THIS! TREVOR! YOU CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN!

Trevor Mach: ....

Tack Angel: You're going to take part in all of this? All of this destruction?

Trevor Mach: It's all I've ever known. It's what makes sense.

Teruo Suzuki: Trevor Mach is a clown no longer. He is what he was always meant to become. He is my Malice Rider.

Tack Angel: ....Oh no.

-

Kyoto, Edo - Smart Brain Headquarters

Outside of the Headquarters, guards are pacing back and forth. One of them stops when he hears a sound. He looks around, staring into the darkness. Suddenly, Kinniku Mike rushes out and clobbers the guard. The other turns his gun on Mike, but PT and Stone tackle him. PT rushes into the guard station and hits a button to open the gate to the building.

Jeff Andonuts: We're good to go.

Jackson Kain: Shouldn't you stay here?

Jeff Andonuts: I let this happen, I have to help deal with it.

Degrees: We don't have time for this.

Lady M's: You got that right! Eat my dust while you jabber on!

Jackson Kain: She's spunky!

Takumi Inui: Let's go.

Inside of the building, Teruo Suzuki stared at the monitor, watching the Renegades rush into the building.

Tack Angel: What are they doing here?

Teruo Suzuki: Trying to stop me obviously, that's what Lucky Clover is for. Go and fulfill your destiny. Protect our new future Trevor.

Tack Angel: Trevor, Christina, Iroha, please don't do this!

Teruo Suzuki: Christina and Iroha, children of aborted futures....they're MY children now.

Tack Angel: NO! TREVOR DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THEM! DON'T DO THIS!

Trevor Mach: .....

The Renegades enter the lobby, with screens and a voice over showing the massive reach of Smart Brain in every industry. As they are about to rush to the center escalator to the next floor, Makoto Kusaka appears.

Jeff Andonuts: Kusaka?

Takumi Inui: .....

Makoto Kusaka: You.

Takumi Inui: Yeah *wrist flick* I thought it might come to this. Go on ahead, I'll deal with him.

Jackson Kain: How about we just all beat on him and move on together? No? We're going to make this complicated? Whatever, let's go.

The Renegades run by Kusaka and up the escalator as Takumi stares down Kusaka.

Takumi Inui: I'm sorry about what happened to you Kusaka.

Makoto Kusaka: .....

Takumi Inui: I may be one of them too...I don't know...but I didn't take part in what happened to your class. I think...I think I tried to save them.

Makoto Kusaka: .....

Takumi Inui: I'm sorry that you died as well. I won't let them continue to use you this way. I'm going to put you to rest.

Takumi and Kusaka rushed each other and collided with fists. On the next floor, the Renegades were stopped in their tracks by Smart Lady.

Smart Lady: Please be patient. You're demise awaits you, brought to you by Smart Brain, the future is NOW!

Lady M's: I want to punch her! Can I punch her! I want to punch her in the throat SO BAD! Wait, why am I asking?!

Lady M's rushes Smart Lady, but Christina and Iroha appear out of the shadows.

Lady M's: You'd figure I'd have a problem hitting Tack's daughter...but I really really don't.

Jeff Andonuts: No one figured that Tali.

Jackson Kain: Well I'm not hitting a woman, so you get all three of them.

Lady M's: No problem, I-

Suddenly, Christina and Iroha began to change. Their eyes glow red as they grow and turn into disfigured versions of themselves.

Degrees: ...Well that's new.

Lady M's: Uh...I still got this....I think...probably....AAAAAHHHH!!!

M's rushes the monsters guarding Smart Lady. They lift her and smash her into the floor, causing a large crater.

Lady M's: *cough* OW!

Smart Lady: I know you've waited SO LONG for this, but instead please enjoy your slow and painful death at the hands of the Orphnochs!

Degrees: That's what an Orphnoch is?!

Jackson Kain: The mask is off now.

Back in the control room Tack is desperately trying to escape the cage.

Tack Angel: LET ME OUT OF HERE! TREVOR! TREVOR COME BACK PLEASE!

Teruo Suzuki: You've lost your friend, he is my Malice Rider now.

Tack Angel: He rejected that path years ago.

Teruo Suzuki: Destiny can't be stopped. In every reality, in every time, Trevor Mach becomes an instrument of destruction. In this case, he will initiate a new era. The world will be recreated...in my image. You...will just have to appreciate what's being presented to you.

Tack Angel: OH COME ON!

-

An quiet, empty office in Smart Brain Headquarters is quickly demolished as two Orphnochs smash Lady M's and the Weekend Wrecking Crew through the wall.

Lady M's: Thanks for breaking my fall Mike.

Kinniku Mike: MY GROIN!

Lady M's: My bad....just let me get my boot o-

Kinniku Mike: AAAH!

Erik Stone: Yikes!

Magnum PT: THEY'RE COMING BAAAACK!

The two twisted and colorless versions of Christina Angel and Iroha become more monsterous by the minute. Jackson Kain knocks one of them to the ground with his Shadow Kick, but it quickly gets back up.

Jackson Kain: Wrestling moves....I don't know what I was thinking.

Degrees: Well it worked enough! Try something else!

Jackson Kain: Throw me that chair!

Degrees: Here!

Jackson Kain: Thanks!

Degrees: Are you sitting down!?

Jackson Kain: Got a little winded!

Degrees: What?!

The twisted visage of Iroha's arm turned into a blade and aimed for Jackson's chest. Jackson rolled out of the way, grabbing the chair and slamming it into her back. It did little to stop her as she lifted Kain by the throat. Lady M's jumped onto her back and tried to choke her out.

Jackson Kain: Thanks!

Lady M's: Where is the throat!? I CAN'T CHOKE THIS THING!

In the distance, Jeff Andonuts is observing, thinking about jumping in, when Degrees interjected.

Degrees: Don't bother boss, we have to stop them another way.

Jeff Andonuts: What do you mean?

Degrees: Those two can't be Iroha and Christina. I think they're puppets of some kind. You can't splice DNA like this. They must have needed Tack for some reason, and they were already gone.

Jeff Andonuts: What are you saying?

Degrees: We need to go forward and find them.

Jeff Andonuts: Find them? Wait, where are you going?

Degrees: The labs!

Jeff Andonuts: How do you know where that is?

Degrees: The directory!

Jeff Andonuts: ...Of course.

Down one floor, Takumi is getting hammered by Kusaka.

Makoto Kusaka: DIE!

Takumi Inui: I'm sorry Kusaka. I'm sorry that you died. I'm sorry that your class died.

Makoto Kusaka: DIE!

Takumi Inui: I'm sorry....and I always will be. However, my life was also changed forever by Smart Brain, and now I must stop them. I remember it. I remember it all now. They might have made me this way the same way they made you, and their demise might mean my demise, but I will keep the promise I made to bring dreams to the people. The dream of freedom from Smart Brain!

Makoto throws a punch, but Takumi blocks it and fires back with his hear punch. Kusaka staggers back, his form begins to crumble into dust, but not before Takumi destroys the copy with the Crimson Smash.

Smart Brain Headquarters - Lab

Degrees and Jeff Andonuts rush into the room and find several scientists looming around two pods. Christina Angel and Iroha are inside of them.

Degrees: I knew it! They are using their bodies in the pods to create Orphnoch duplicates.

Jeff Andonuts: Well I'm glad YOU know that. I'm the scientist and it makes no sense to me. They can't hope to do this on such a large scale...unless...

The scientists all run away as Degrees and Jeff Andonuts charge. Degrees lays one out while Andonuts lights up a bottle rocket and blasts it at them.

Degrees: Where did you get that?

Jeff Andonuts: I ALWAYS have them on me....for science.

Degrees: Right...for science.

As they open the tanks, Christina and Iroha fall to the floor. On the floor below them, the Orphnoch copies begin to deteriorate.

Lady M's: I DID IT! SMART LADY! YOU'RE NEXT BITCH!

Magnum PT: Wow...go M's.

Erik Stone: M's, she's so hot right now. M's.

Kinniku Mike: ....I kidnapped her once.

On the top floor, Tack Angel kicks at the cage, but loses hope and falls to the floor.

Tack Angel: Trevor....are you still there? Trevor, you can't let this happen. You're my friend, I never wanted you to stop being the clown. I never wanted you to not be happy. I just want peace Trevor. Please, don't do this.

Tack looked up and saw two figures move in the darkness.

Trevor Mach: Your way doesn't work Tack.

Teruo Suzuki: I've shown him a new way. A better way. A better world.

Tack Angel: No, you've just tapped into his rage and pain. That's all you've done. Trevor, this isn't justice.

Trevor Mach: ....

Teruo Suzuki: Come Malice Rider, the Lucky Clover has almost bought us enough time, we just need you to complete the mission. Destroy those who stand in the way of a better world.

Trevor Mach: Justice doesn't exist anymore.

Tack Angel: What about family?

Trevor Mach: ...Family..

Teruo Suzuki: Malice Rider.

Trevor Mach: ...I'll take care of it.

-

Lady M's, Jackson Kain, and the Weekend Wrecking Crew join up with Takumi Inui as they all head up to the next floor. An elevator awaits that can take them to the top floor, where they believe the Smart Brain head is. Suddenly the doors to the elevator open and a figure appears.

Jackson Kain: Hold it! Who is that?

Kinniku Mike: Is that-

Lady M's: Trevor.

Trevor Mach: Glad you guys could make it. You get a front row seat to the new world.

Lady M's: Trevor, what's going on here?

Trevor Mach: A little genocide actually. Sounds worse when I say it out loud.

Lady M's: Trevor, you've lost your fucking mind, and I couldn't be prouder, but working with Smart Brain isn't the answer.

Teruo Suzuki appears from behind Trevor.

Teruo Suzuki: It's not? At a rally in Twoson, cops are shot and killed in retaliation for the actions of other cops. People and the media try to sweep it under the rug as quickly as possible to get back to the outrage that works in their narrative. They don't adhere to what is, they make it up as they go along.

Trevor Mach: Why the hell can't I Tali? Why can't I stop making jokes and start changing the damn world?

Kinniku Mike: It's not as simple as all that man! This shit's a sensitive subject, and you can't expect people to forget their pain just because something new comes up. Everybody is hurting, but we stick together to find strength and growth.

Magnum PT: .....

Erik Stone: .....

Kinniku Mike: ...What?

Trevor Mach: That's great Mike. Glad you got it all worked out. I'm tired of hearing about it though. We fight day in and day out, and we get nowhere. Maybe it's time we check out and make way for the new guys, and I'm not talking about the weakest generation.

Takumi Inui: You're letting those monsters win.

Trevor Mach: No offense Takumi, but I'm not going to listen to a word of it. You come from a generation that has no idea what the hell you're talking about. If I'm the villain oh well, call me a villain. I said I was a Bad Man, it's not my fault you didn't believe me. Not my fault you weren't listening. Do I have your attention now?

Lady M's: Trevor, you dumb ass. I know you think you've lost everything, but you haven't. You have me...you have Tack...you have Hope...even your dog Barley....he's alright Trevor. You have family.

Trevor Mach: ....Family.

Jackson Kain: You guys she's nailing it tonight. That's all I'm saying.

Lady M's: I don't want to stop you from trying to tear this world a new ass, I really don't. Normally I don't give a fuck, but there are a few things I do care about, and I need to try and stop you just this once. For Hope. Our daughter Trevor. I know how the world makes you feel, I feel it too. I know how your family made you feel, but you have a new family now, and you have a chance to save it. Plus...maybe I owe you one....I was lost once...and you found me.

Jackson Kain: And if this doesn't work, imma kick him in the jaw.

Magnum PT: Not helping champ.

Trevor Mach: ...I-

Teruo Suzuki: Enough. They speak out of fear. Fear of the knowledge that they will be extinct in a matter of moments. No more hatred Trevor. No more bigotry. No more hypocrisy. Just stop them. Smart Lady, let's put a stop to Lady M's shall we?

Smart Lady: Please enjoy her destruction my King.

Smart Lady appears out of the shadows and charges Lady M's, she slowly begins to form into a twisted creature, an Orphnoch.

Lady M's: Trevor, make your choice, this is something I've been waiting for for a looooong time!

Lady M's grabs Smart Lady by the chin and forces her over the edge of the balcony to the floor below. She takes one last look at Trevor before plunging down to face Smart Lady.

Trevor Mach: ....

Jackson Kain: So what's it's going to be Mach?

Trevor Mach: Line up....or come all at once...I'm egotistical enough to know I can take you all.

Teruo Suzuki: You can....with this.

Teruo waves his hand at Trevor, with several pieces of armor flying towards him. They snap together on Trevor, with a helmet darkening his face. Red eyes begin to glow from the darkness. He has become the Malice Rider.

Kinniku Mike: This is bad.

Magnum PT: Is it?

Kinniku Mike: Right before I joined EBW, I heard about this. Alternate timeline end of the world shit right here.

Magnum PT: ...Better late than never?

Trevor Mach: Right...better late than never.

Malice Rider charges the group, as they stand by for the assault.

-

Christina and Iroha regained consciousness as Degrees and Jeff Andonuts helped them up.

Christina Angel: Uh...what...what happened?

Degrees: You joined Lucky Clover and they stuck you in these tubes.

Iroha: What? No, we didn't do that.

Jeff Andonuts: We saw what happened. You were with Trevor and Kusaka when they abducted Tack.

Iroha: I would NEVER do that! That's not how you get senpai to notice you!

Christina Angel: We were trying to get Trevor out of what he was doing. I remembered something. My timeline must have been closer to coming true because the memories were returning. We left One Eyed Jack's like we were interested, but we tried to get Trevor away from there. That's how it starts! That's how the world changes! This is the chain of events that lead to my father's death!

Degrees: Well we can't have that. What do we do?

Iroha: I-I don't know.

Christina Angel: ...I wasn't there for it. I'm still a small child at this time. It can't be exactly the same, because our timelines don't exist anymore.

Jeff Andonuts: And yet all roads lead to Tack Angel dying...via thresher. That's still so weird to me. I didn't think it was this soon. Thought we'd figure that out after this Smart Brain debacle.

Degrees: Glad to hear you girls didn't turn on Havok. I'll make sure the world knows it too.

Jeff Andonuts: Well right now we need to stop these horrible events from taking place. What do we do?

Degrees: You're the boss Jeff, you tell me.

Jeff Andonuts: No Degrees, we need the leader of Jet Havok right now. We need the guy who used to do the impossible and save the world against all odds.

Degrees: ....I think we should find Tack, and I bet he'll be at the top of the building. Let's go.

Jeff Andonuts: Wait, what makes you think he'll be-

Degrees: The directory!

Jeff Andonuts: ....Is he ON the directory?!

In another room the monstrous Smart Lady is throwing Lady M's around like a rag doll. She slams her onto a desk and slashes down with a now bladed arm. M's rolls out of the way just in time as the desk is sliced in two.

Smart Lady: Please try not to resist! You're only making this harder on yourself.

Lady M's: Yeah, living is harder isn't it? Oh well.

Smart Lady: You're the monster M's. You're the one who needs to be eradicated so the world can enjoy a new era of peace and harmony under Smart Brain!

Lady M's: Peace and harmony are boring! You might think I'm a monster, but I'm not the one looking like...well...YOU right now.

Smart Lady: Capcom...remember what they did? Project Polestar? They made you too. We know all about it. They classified you...Nemesis.

Lady M's: Nemesis?

Smart Lady: They wanted new warriors to inject into their personal army. They MADE you. You're just like us. You could be apart of this new order if you wanted, but instead you've chosen death?

Lady M's: I was never a fan of order. I'd rather be your....Nemesis.

Smart Lady: Have it your way. Please enjoy your death.

Lady M's: Come and make me.

Lady M's had been reaching for something as the two were talking. Smart Lady charged, having not seen it hidden behind M's. As Smart Lady neared, M's revealed the fire ax and buried it into the abdomen of the twisted Smart Lady. Smart Lady fell to her knees as she slowly started to crumble.

Smart Lady: ...Killing me...stops...nothing.

Lady M's: Yeah...but it makes me feel better.

Lady M's beheaded Smart Lady with the ax and turned her into a pile of ash.

Lady M's: Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Smart Lady is dead and her plans will go bust....teehee.

In front of the elevator, the Malice Rider is fighting off the collective force of Jackson Kain and the Weekend Wrecking Crew. With the Smart Brain recreated armor, Mach is able to hold his own against all four, using the propulsion and flight abilities to beat the numbers game.

Jackson Kain: Well this is going well.

Kinniku Mike: Mach's living the dream right now. It's the ONLY time he's been able to overpower me.

Magnum PT: Chief, you've got to stop this!

Trevor Mach: I'll stop when it's over. When the weakest generation is destroyed and this cancerous culture is wiped away.

Kinniku Mike: Whatever you're planning, if it's going to hurt people, just who is safe man? Is it going to hurt my wife, because I won't allow that. What about your family man? What about Hope? Is it going to hurt her?

Trevor Mach: ....Hope. I-

Teruo Suzuki: Malice Rider, you are needed elsewhere. A few insects slipped by and are heading up to free Tack Angel. Please deal with them.

Trevor Mach: ...Right.

Malice Rider takes off to the top floor, flying through the floors to the top. Kain and the Crew rush to the elevator, only for it to explode in front of them. Teruo backed into the shadows and disappeared.

Jackson Kain: ....Well damn...anyone got an idea?

Erik Stone: We need a ladder! A REALLY REALLY long ladder.

?: You could always take the stairs.

Kinniku Mike: Huh? You? What are you doing here?

Hope Mach: Obviously, I'm here to save my Dad.
