Saturn City Park

The Mach Family were all sitting at the park, trying to enjoy a day out together like families usually do. However...

Lady M's: This is boring as hell.

Hope Mach: Mom!

Trevor Mach: No, she's not wrong. This is kind of boring Hope.

Hope Mach: This is the only time we've all been together in a while.

Trevor Mach: And I suggested Laser Tag.

Lady M's: That's right, your Dad suggested Laser Tag. Why didn't we go play Laser Tag?

Hope Mach: *sigh* Because of Justice!

Lady M's: ...Do they not make baby sized laser guns?

Trevor Mach: I'd obviously carry him on my back, so he could watch my six.

Hope Mach: Wai...you two are messing with me aren't you?

Trevor Mach: Of course we are.

Hope Mach: Oh good, because-

Trevor Mach: You keep Justice in front and they would NEVER hit me.

Lady M's: And this really is boring as hell.

Hope Mach: I still appreciate you coming out and spending the time with me.

Trevor Mach: Of course. There was a time not long ago when I didn't think I'd get a chance to again. I value this time...even if it is-

Lady M's: Boring as hell.

Trevor Mach: Yes exactly, what Tali said.

Hope Mach: ....I love you two...just so you know....but I think you're not giving this relaxing day in the park things a proper chance.

Trevor Mach: We literally have to drive to Threed in a couple hours. Now a day at the park in a perpetual nightscape full of Zombies. THAT could be interesting.

Lady M's: Laser Tag WITH the Zombies.

Trevor Mach: I love how you think and who you are. Don't ever change. We're totally doing that.

Hope Mach: You're hopeless!

Lady M's: No we're not. You're sitting right-

Hope Mach: Don't finish that joke. Wait...is that Dan? He's limping!

Lady M's: Looks like he's on the way to the Dojo. Nothing stops that guy.

Hope Mach: Yeah, but it should. It really should. I have to go talk to him.

Trevor Mach: Go for it. We'll just be sitting here with Justice....bored as hell.

Lady M's: You're not fooling me Trevtastic. You're loving every minute of this.

Trevor Mach: ....That obvious?

Lady M's: ...Only to me.

Trevor Mach: *wink* Hey wait, is that-

Lady M's: Tack approaching with a ten foot tall Makoto? Yes. Yes it is.

Trevor Mach: Just checking. Thought I'd lost it.

Lady M's: That's what you'd pick to be the indicator?

Trevor Mach: Well you never can tell.

Tack Angel: Trevor! Look!

Makoto Angel: Tack! Please don't draw more attention! I'm very shy! *blush*

Lady M's: He wouldn't have to say a thing. You're very huge. Like, not just taller, but built like a damn amazonian. It's hot right?

Trevor Mach: Yeah totally.

Lady M's: Trying to spice up the love life Tack? You're embiggening them now?
'
Trevor Mach: Is that the right word for it?

Lady M's: I don't even know if that's a word.

Trevor Mach: Right.

Tack Angel: That bastard Cadmus did this! He did it with the Dark Star Fragments!

Lady M's: You don't have to be ashamed of your kinks Tack. This morning, I made breakfast in bondage ropes. Didn't cover much. Should NOT have made bacon.

Trevor Mach: Is that what this really is Tack? Is this bondage bacon?

Tack Angel: What?! No seriously, something is really going on with that Cadmus guy. I need to get into his mansion and get to the bottom of it, but the wife heist plan didn't work.

Trevor Mach: Wife heist plan? That sounds awesome.

Tack Angel: It really was, but it didn't pan out. I was hoping you might help me since-

Trevor Mach: I'm your buddy?

Tack Angel: You're kind of responsible for it.

Trevor Mach: Nani?

Tack Angel: No Makoto.

Trevor Mach: Obviously. Elaborate.

Tack Angel: The Dark Star Fragments are pieces of Triton.

Trevor Mach: Oooo! THAT'S INTERESTING!

Lady M's: I'm still interested in the 10 foot tall Makoto here.

Makoto Angel: Eep! Please don't pull on my skirt Tali!

Trevor Mach: You want to do something about this?

Tack Angel: It's hot as hell, but I couldn't convince Makoto that a 10 foot tall life would be better for all of us.

Lady M's: Because that's bullshit.

Tack Angel: APPARENTLY! I see you're busy though, so if you want to wait a couple days to-

Trevor Mach: No bro, this is what I'm here for. Kicking ass and investigating weird stuff.

Tack Angel: But we could wait. I mean it IS the weekend.

Trevor Mach: *slides on shades* Someone forgot to tell crime. Tali, you coming?

Lady M's looked across the park to see Hope yelling at Dan.

Lady M's: No...I think I need to stick around. Hope might not be so willing to watch Justice.

Makoto Angel: Thank you for your help Trevor.

Trevor Mach: Don't thank me yet. I might be lousy at this.

Makoto Angel: No, I think you're very good at this. Very good. Much better than you realize.

Trevor Mach: I hope I'm better than YOU realize. Tack, stop letting her carry you! Get down here!

Tack Angel: Awww man!

Iwata Memorial Arena Entrance

Lady M's pulled up on her motorcycle as Kimber Blaze and Lt. Lacy Wagner were standing by with Hope Mach and Christina Angel.

Hope Mach: You're late Mom.

Lady M's: No I'm not.

Hope Mach: You said 3, and it's almost 4.

Lady M's: Yeah? I think I said 3 or 4, so whatever. I'm right on time.

Hope Mach: I don't thi-

Lady M's: So....Wagner and Blaze. "House of M's" huh?

Kimber Blaze: You trained us, and you helped these patriotic guns get their hands on the World Tag Team Championships. You might have left to do whatever you do, but we weren't going to forget the time and effort put in.

Lt. Lacy Wagner: Mam! *salutes* We're ready and waiting to serve.

Lady M's: Heh...you gals are too much. That's fine....that's fine with me. You give respect, and you get it with interest. You give me grief, and I give you a hospital bill. That's how it works. So fine, we're in this one together. Foxx is picking a fight with me to keep me busy. Tess and "Daddy Dearest" are trying to control me. Trying to keep this spark from turning into a forest fire. They don't want to see heroes in the Women's Division. They don't want it. They want entitled little brats like Erica running the show. That's the message they want to send out. They want women to think they're victims. We're not, and when we are, it's only temporary. We get back up, and we get back to fighting. Sound good to you?

Christina Angel: You know it.

Hope Mach: Absolutely.

Kimber Blaze: The Red, White, and Blue runs through these veins, and this All-Eagleland "chick muscle" doesn't quit baby!

Lt. Lacy Wagner: *salutes*

Lady M's: Hey Lacy, is that Dad of yours as big of a disappointment to you, as mine is to me?

Lt. Lacy Wagner: ...Indeed.

Lady M's: Well shit, that's enough to bond on. We've got this tonight. Remember rip the mask off of another one. You don't get to pick a fight with the Death Metal Bitch, and get to remain anonymous. Let's go.

Christina Angel: "Death Metal Bitch" huh?

Hope Mach: My Mom's a character. She loves her names and gimmicks.

Christina Angel: Maybe we need to get in on that.

Hope Mach: You think?

Christina Angel: How many t-shirts have YOU sold lately?

Hope Mach: ....You might be on to something. Hang on...is that? I have to go.

Christina Angel: See ya later. Hmmm..."The Big C"? No...no...that could be mistaken for something else. The "Star Princess"? I hate it, but man would that sell.

Hope Mach walked over to where Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan was being interviewed...

Nerma: So, you're ready for tonight?

Bashin Dan: The body might disagree, but I'm working on that. You just have to keep going. You don't quit. You never quit. Your opponents beat you when you quit. I'm not saying that people shouldn't take care of themselves, but when you have a fire burning in your blood like I do, sitting on the sidelines just isn't an option. I live for the thrill of competition.

Nerma: We've all been worried about you. Do you know who attacked you?

Bashin Dan: I wish I did. I really do. I would find them, and tell them that if they wanted a match, or a shot at the Championships, all they have to do is throw down that challenge.

Nerma: Do you think Jammer is-

Bashin Dan: Jammer....is here tonight....not for himself, but for me. He's going to be in my corner, and I trust him 100%. He's my friend, and he has my trust. That's all I want to say about it.

Nerma: Understood. Well that wraps it up I think. Thanks Dan.

Bashin Dan: Thank you.

Hope Mach: Dan, just what do you think you're doing?

Bashin Dan: I'm competing tonight. I have to.

Hope Mach: What about that big blowup in the park?! I told you that I didn't like this at all. I wasn't going to be apart of watching you get yourself killed!

Bashin Dan: After everything I've seen and done, I refuse to believe this is what's going to kill me Hope.

Hope Mach: I nearly lost my Dad, and I can't stand the thought of losing you. Someone put you in the hospital. I don't know if they wanted you dead, but they didn't care if you did die. I know that much, by all the blood I saw, when I picked up your unconscious body on the ground.

Bashin Dan: Hope...love...and friendship....mean as much to me as competition, but I exist on all three parts. I can't let up on one to service the others. I am what I am. You understand that. You risked losing your hearing again once upon a time, and it would have been permanent. You risked that. You didn't let anyone stop you.

Hope Mach: ...This is different. This is you....and what happens to you...matter more than what happens to me. That's just how I feel. Call me a hypocrite, but that's how I feel. If you do this....I can't be a part of it. I'm....I'm sorry.

Bashin Dan: Hope.....Hope! *sigh*

Nerma: Boy...I really shouldn't have stood here for that. I made it awkward didn't I? I feel like I made it awkward. I'm gonna go.






Tommy Dukes: Tommy Dukes here, and it's whatever night it is, and you know what that means?! Xcite baby! We're here in Onett, the place that gave us EBW, and we're here for a special reason tonight. Mr. Pirkle, the former mayor of Onett, and now the owner of the EWA, is challenging Bashin Dan to put the title on the line agaisnt Viktor Geisman, the hot new talent that defected to EWA. By doing so, we get back the rights to run shows in Threed along with EWA, but the risk is great that we might lose the most coveted prize in EBW. The original title, though it has gone through so many changes and transformations, you'd swear it was like a Time Lord or something. I'm sitting here trying very hard not to look at the 10 foot tall Makoto Angel. Makoto, you've got to be block someone's view I would think.

Makoto Angel: *blush* Grrrr. Don't be a mean idiot Tommy! I can't help it! Tack and Trevor tried to get what I needed to get back to my original size, but Tack bailed at the last second, admitting her "preferred me this way". Now, I think that's sweet of him. I think he's trying to say he loves me no matter what. I really hope that's what he's trying to say, and not that he has an amazonian fetish, cause quite frankly, I think he's checked off all the fetishes he needs to in his life. You got me talking about my personal life though, and that's not what the people are here for.

Tommy Dukes: I'm sure a couple of people are interested in giant Makoto, but we'll move on to the business at hand. We have a packed show tonight. We know that "Dead End" are here, and after Hotlanta took the Television Championship from Tack Angel, he apparently has a new goal in mind. We know that the House of M's and Christina Angel are going to take on the Foxx Force Five. We know that Faris is leading other Angels against Eisenritter. We know that Trevor Mach is taking on Magnum PT in singles action tonight. We ALSO know that Cadmus is taking on Dan Club's Benjamin, though I'm sure he'd prefer Tack Angel. That's who he came to challenge after all.

Makoto Angel: Yeah, I bet he would. You know I could probably kick that guy into the ceiling with how big I am right now.

Tommy Dukes: I'm sure you could. Finally, we know that the show is kicking off with Kinniku Mike flexing the Strong Tits and the #GLUTE POWER against the "Big Bastard Ginger" Jamie XL. I wish we knew where OD found this guy. What we don't actually know....is where my wife is at. Where is she? Oh, there she is. Now we know everything. Honey, what's going on?

Nerma: ....Awkwardness. I'll tell you later.

Tommy Dukes: Well alright then. People this is officially Victory Explosion season! Let's kick it off, and let's take it to the ring!

EBW: Xcite
Iwata Memorial Arena, Onett
ENN

1. Singles: Kinniku Mike beat Jamie XL via DQ
-A burly power brawl between two heavy hitters. Nothing fancy, but when Mike got the upper hand after his signature power slams, Jamie OD rushed in and kicked Mike in the head, leading to the DQ. The head kick knocked out Mike, so Amigo held the Hooligans at bay as the EMTs rush to get Mike the help he needs.

Tommy Dukes: You hate to see that.

Nerma: Gingers? Absolutely.

Tommy Dukes: I meant the head kick.

Nerma: Also absolutely. Mike is a veteran, with years of experience, one of our very best, but that head kick could knock out anyone on the roster.

Tommy Dukes: You know the Paradise Collection was chomping at the bit to get a rematch against the Hooligans. You better believe they want it more than ever....at least you would think Mike would say that when he comes to. Get better soon Mike.

2. 10-Woman Tag: Lady M's[o]/Christina Angel/Hope Mach/Kimber Blaze/Lt. Lacy Wagner beat 21st Century Foxx/Kei Akiyama/Kayla Sparkz[x]/Foxx Mask #4/Foxx Mask #5 via Smash Mouth x Death Metal DDT -> Pin
-A free for all of a match here, with Lady M's, the "Rated M's Champion" leading the team and showing them how it was done against Foxx's masked misfits of mayhem, and hey don't throw out my book of alliterations! I need that. Foxx Mask #4 was especially brutal, a tall figure with a lot of power and intensity, but the finish would come in a weird conclusion, as Foxx Mask #5 tagged out to Sparkz, kicked her in the back, and threw her right into M's with the waiting Smash Mouth. M's then hit the Death Metal DDT and got the pin. #5 ripped off her mask to reveal it was Heather Mach, as the real Foxx Mask #5 could then be seen in the back, just now escaping from a locked room.

Nerma: Well that's what you like to see. A clean finish....sort of. Look, the teams are amazing here, but that Foxx #4, who the hell is that? Power and intensity. I want to see more of her. Even 21st Century Foxx looked a bit upstaged here.

Makoto Angel: I'm just so proud of Christina.

Nerma: And I won't criticize that because you're gigantic.

Makoto Angel: Yes....yes I am.

3. Singles: Trevor Mach beat Magnum PT via Machigoye -> Pin
-Trevor Mach was in top form against a man that you would figure he'd be friends with. Hard strikes and the knees in the clinch, lead to a new finisher variation called the "Machigoye" where Trevor holds both arms of the downed opponents and brings them right into his knee followed by the 1-2-3.

Tommy Dukes: A good win for Trevor Mach. A lot of people are wondering what his Victory Explosion plans are. Does he want a shot at Bashin Dan? Will be taking part in the upcoming Rumble City for the shot? I mean.... I guess we could just ask, but-wait, here comes "Dead End". They're surrounding the ring.

Hotlanta: Where are the Wolves Mach? No Rude? No Reno? No Tack Angel? No Swift? No Generator? All by yourself. Why is that I wonder?

Trevor Mach: I was hoping you'd take the bait quite frankly, and you didn't disappoint. No need to look over your shoulder. No one to get the drop on you. I just wanted you out here. I've been hearing you call me out.

Hotlanta: And we both know why. After everything that has happened. We both know why.

Trevor Mach: You seem to know more than me, so why don't you tell me?

Hotlanta: Don't play dumb. Don't be stupid. It's not the clown I'm challenging. It's the "War Wolf" right? Though, it feels more like I'm staring down an Archangel of Death, because that's all I've witnessed being in your presence. On your side, or against you, all I've seen is Death. Even you died, and yet here you are.

Trevor Mach: You're getting meta Hottie. Break it down in simpler terms. You got into some shit, and now you're blaming me.

Hotlanta: Yes, I blame you. Yes, I have always blamed you.

Trevor Mach: Because you see Death? That's not me Hotlanta. I'm something else altogether. I'd be happy to bare my fangs and show you in the ring if you want.

Hotlanta: Not now. When I say so, because I'm in control now. I decide what's happening. I'm not the passenger anymore. I'm the driver, and with all that I know, and all that you wish I didn't know, I will bring you a Dead End, and I will bring anyone that gets in our way a Dead End, because we are Dead End, and we will-

Trevor Mach: Control EBW? Then do it. I've heard it all before. I'm here to fight. You want a fight? Let's fight. You want to waste my time, then I'm going to take off, because I'm not interested in the same old shit Hot. I'm really not. It's getting tired.

Hotlanta: But Trevor, you can't run away from Death this time. Death is coming.

Trevor Mach: What did you just say?

Hotlanta: KYO was right.

Trevor Mach: Well shit, you have my attention again Hotlanta. Care to spill the beans, or are you going to make this difficult. Please....make this difficult.

Hotlanta: ...When I feel like it Mach. I'm in control now. I'm in control.

Trevor Mach: ....

4. 6-Woman Tag: Faris Angel[o]/Nani Angel/Tracy Angel beat Erica/Duvalie/Kaie[x] via Wrist Clutch Time Fire Driver -> Pin
-Hard hitting and personal action here, with Faris Angel stepping up for her team. Kaie was distracted, when Hope Mach appeared to be watching from the stage. That opened up an opportunity for Faris to make the Angels proud with a WRIST CLUTCH Time Fire Driver for the pin.

Makoto Angel: YES! GO FARIS!

Nerma: Well look at that. A big win for the Angels against the Eisenritter. Kaie took her eyes off the prize for a second, and that's all it took.

Makoto Angel: Faris knows all about "good timing" *wink*

Nerma: What was that? What did you just do?

Makoto Angel: I was just....nothing. Never mind.

Faris Angel: So Erica Eisen, you think you can just roll through my family, and make a mockery of this division? I'm tired of sitting back and watching it happen. It's my time now, and I dictate the terms!

Erica: You? You got lucky. Kaie is a little fiery in the presence of Hope Mach over there. She wants to put her out of this sport forever. I can forgive an infraction when it comes with so much passion. Still, you can't dictate anything to me ever. You're lucky I'm even thinking about giving you a shot. What has Faris Angel ever done to deserve it?

Faris Angel: I dictate the terms, because if you chicken out, everyone is going to know that you're ducking an Angel, and you can't have that. You can't handle it.

Erica: ....Heh...well when you're right....you're right. But, I make it a career to CRASH the hopes of Angels. So state your terms, and get it over with.

Faris Angel: I want a title shot, and I want it at Rumble City. Do you accept?

Erica: ....I accept.

5. Singles: Cadmus beat Benjamin via Dark Star Cutter -> Pin
-A one sided affair, with Benjamin caught off guard with many shrugs after the theatrics of Cadmus. A missed Spear into the corner post seemed to hurt Benji, who ate the Dark Star Cutter for the pin.

Tommy Dukes: Damn, I'm always rooting for Benjamin, but the work horse got worked tonight. Cadmus continues to puzzle, but he's got skills in the ring. He's not showing off all of what he can do, and he knows it. Very theatrical. There he is tearing up a young child's Star Prince poster. It's just obscene!

Nerma: ...Calm down.

6. EBW Triple Crown World Championship: Bashin Dan(c) beat Viktor Geisman<EWA> via Brave Clash Saga -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-Main event time, as Bashin Dan limped to the ring to take on Viktor Geisman of the EWA. Backed by the Dan Club, sans Hope, Bashin Dan seemed to shake off the injuries when the adrenaline started to flow. Fired up by the match and the crowd, Dan took it to Geisman hold for hold and blow for blow. A big boot to the chin snapped him back hard on the mat, but the 2.9 count showed Dan's signature HEART and SOUL were still burning. A botched second attempt from Geisman lead to the kick to the midsection and newer Brave Clash Saga finisher for the pin and the title defense!

Tommy Dukes: Fantastic! That's our Champion! He was screwed at Collision, but he's standing tall here. Well he would be, if he didn't need Vape to help him to his feet. A great match though. Geisman should've stuck with us, but now he's back off to EWA, WITHOUT our title belts. Those belts stay here. Those belts are EBW belts. Belts!

Backstage

The camera was panned down an empty hallway, as Tack Angel entered in from the side.

Tack Angel: What? No Tack Angel stuff? Then how am I going to be able to care? *sigh* I saw a decapitation today....I need my 10 foot tall wife to hold me.

Crystal Heaven

The Angel wives were surrounding a table with blueprints, as 10 foot tall Makoto loomed over them.

Makoto Angel: *blush* Are you sure about this? Tack got the match he wanted. Cadmus is going to put a Star Fragment on the line in the Ladder Match.

Amy Angel: I'm thinking he only said that to get a match with Tack, so we're working on a Plan B.

Makoto Angel: Oh...alright.

?: Uh....can I help?

Amy Angel: Nani?

Nani Angel: I did not say that.

Tracy Angel: No, you certainly didn't.

Iroha Angel: Uh...how are you?

A stacked and thick woman with long dark hair, wearing Tack's signature clothes.

Faris Angel: ....Huh. Who are you?

Tracy Angel: Dammit, did Tack bring another one home?! Will his thirst never be quenched?!

?: Wait no! I'm not a new wife! I'm uh....Tack's....Step-Sister! I'm Tack's Step-Sister Tonya! Tonya Angel!

Amy Angel: ...When did Wayne get remarried? I'd ask him, but he's still in the walls. I was worried about him, but he left a nice thank you card and took away a plate of doughnuts in the night. His calligraphy is really on point too.

Nani Angel: .....

Tracy Angel: Well, let's find Tack and tell him about-

Tonya Angel: That's alright! I'm sure he's REALLY busy! I wouldn't worry about it!

Amy Angel: Well...alright. We'll talk more later, but right now, the wives and I need to finish concocting this scheme. Help yourself to anything in the fridge except for the gummy worms. Those are Tack's, and I've never seen him as angry as the time they were missing from the fridge. It was....very alarming.

Tonya Angel: Alright! Thank you! Thank you!

Tonya waited until the wives left the room before pacing back and forth in a panic.

Tonya Angel: Oh no oh no oh no oh no! What do I do?! What do I do?! What do I-

Penguin: Qua!

Tonya Angel: What? Penguin? You....you know that it's me? You know that it's Tack?

Penguin: Qua!

Tonya Angel: I mean you're absolutely right! It is me! I was drinking some spring water that was tainted by a Dark Star Fragment. It turned me into....this....and my chest....my God...my chest Penguin. But wait...how did you know it was me?

Penguin: Qua!

Tonya Angel: Cosmic being? Don't make jokes. It's the clothes right? What am I going to do!

Wayne Angel: *from behind the wall* I'm not sure son, but when you're done, can you get me a glass of milk from the fridge please?

Tonya Angel: Not now Dad!

Wayne Angel: Oh, now you sound exactly like your sister! Golly gee whiz!

Tonya Angel: *sigh* Golly gee whiz indeed.

Studio B Backstage

Rey Dorado and Fray Tiburon were talking backstage as Valarie Dorado approached them.

Valarie Dorado: Brother, I demand that you stop and talk to me!

Rey Dorado: Sister, I have nothing to say to you.

Fray Tiburon: Family is important mi amigo. Perhaps you should listen.

Rey Dorado: She wants me to stop competing. I would gladly comply, but she has tarnished our name so badly, that I can't.

Valarie Dorado: I know you think that, and after losing so much, I have gained perspective on that. I don't want my brother killing himself to make up for my perceived mistakes.

Rey Dorado: We're trying so hard to keep the Lucha tradition alive. So many are tarnishing it, with their flagrant disregard for the rules and the legacy. I wear this mask, because I choose, but also because I must.

Valarie Dorado: You don't have to anymore. I want to help fix things, and I know how to start.

Standing behind Valarie were three luchadors.

Fray Tiburon: You three? I thought you were in Anahauc-

Dorado Mask: Restoring honor to the sport? Consider it done. The Hex Clan has been expunged.

Fray Tiburon: That's wonderful!

Dorado Mask: Well done...but it's not quite done.

Hex No Limit: I know, you're talking about me right? I put this mask back on to fight the Hex Clan. Now that they are gone, and I'm all that's left, I want to make it mean something else. I want to put the "No Limit" lifestyle back into it. This is who I am. I am Hex No Limit.

Rey Dorado: You have my support. Here wear this too.

Dorado reached into his bag and pulled out a "Dorado" armband.

Rey Dorado: You may be Hex, but you're also a Dorado.

Hex No Limit: Thank you sir. Won't let you down.

El Mago waved his hands, and confetti suddenly appeared.

Rey Dorado: Thank you sister.

Valarie Dorado: Don't thank me yet. We have more work to do. These men need a leader, and I think I know who should do it.

Fray Tiburon: Why are you looking at me? Valarie, I have a lot of work in front of me with other matters.

Rey Dorado: You mean what you were telling me about? The "War in Heaven"?

Fray Tiburon: Not sure what I can do to be honest.

Rey Dorado: Then lead this team, and I will help you when the time comes.

Fray Tiburon: Alright.

Valarie Dorado: I have a name in mind for this group.

Fray Tiburon: Let me see it. Oh really? I don't know if-

Valarie Dorado: They need some of that Los Tiburon edge.

Fray Tiburon: Heh...well alright then. You are henceforth the "Lucha Bastards".

Dorado Mask: Well alright.

Hex No Limit: Love it! It's what you SHOULD call a group of Luchadors like Dorado and Mago, and a bastard such as myself. I was worried it'd be "Something" Triangle or something. Whew, load off my mind. Let's show them No Limits tonight, and bring LUCHA back to EBW!

Dorado Mask: Absolutely!

El Mago: *nods magically*






Apple Kid: It's the Studio, it's Neon, and it's Night, so that means it's time for another one of our Neon Nights! Yeah!

Tommy Dukes: Simmer down Apple, you got a note here.

Apple Kid: Huh? From Jeff? But why? I better go check it out.

Tommy Dukes: Wait, you mean now?

Apple Kid: Not now?

Tommy Dukes: We're doing a show!

Apple Kid: Yeah, but it says ASAP.

Tommy Dukes: ....

Apple Kid: ....

Tommy Dukes: Well shit, get going then.

Apple Kid: Good luck!

Tommy Dukes: *sigh* I can do this solo! Totally simple! I-

Arliss Michaels: Oh look, an empty seat!

Tommy Dukes: Arliss? What are you doing?

Arliss Michaels: I've been busy trying to get my client more shows and movies, but most of them seem to want to hire this Jackson Kain. No matter! Tonight, I'm SURE that Fighter Daron is going to advance in this tournament. He's a top athlete. He deserves to be on Xcite! The #1 Wrestling show....as far as I know. How is that EWA doing? It might be time to re-negotiate.

Tommy Dukes: ...You're all over the place.

Arliss Michaels: I have these Fighter Daron autographed MMA gloves! We'll be holding an auction for them. The money will be going to a great cause. My wallet....and Fighter Daron's.

Tommy Dukes: Great.

Arliss Michaels: If this doesn't start to pan out, I'm going to have to sniff out some EFL talent I think. Gotta diversify my talent pool.

Tommy Dukes: Uh-huh.

Arliss Michaels: I'm used to-

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

EBW: Neon Nights
Studio B, Saturn City
ENN

1. EBW Neon Championship Semi-Final: Fray Tiburon beat Dick Wagner via Brainbuster -> Pin
-Hard hitting old school match, with Tiburon happy to grapple with the drunken Mid-South man. A ducked LARIATOOO lead to a kick to the mid-section and the Brainbuster for the pin.

Tommy Dukes: That's what I'm talking about. Good old 'rasslin. We hear that Fray Tiburon is also going to be leading the Lucha Bastards, the returning Luchadors from Anahauc. Excited to have them back.

2. EBW Neon Championship Semi-Final: Benjamin beat Fighter Daron via Spear -> Pin
-Benjamin stepped it up after an early beating by Daron. Pushing back from the striker, he managed to hit a Belly to Belly and whipped him against the ropes to hit the Spear for the pin.

Tommy Dukes: And it's looking like Benjamin and Fray Tiburon will-

Arliss Michaels: I printed too many "Fighter Daron Neon Finalist" t-shirts! Luckily, I also have "Fight Daron Neon Semi-Finalist" shirts for sale right now. 50% off. WAIT! 49% off. Yeah, I can live with that.

Tommy Dukes: How are you making money from all of this?

Arliss Michaels: You'd be surprised how cheaply these shirts are made....GOOD QUALITY THOUGH....yeah.

3. Singles: Ripper beat Orange via Referee Stoppage
-Orange tried to give Ripper a half hearted thumbs up, and when Ripper grabbed his arm, Orange bounced into action, attempting a sick lucha move, but he can't do lucha moves and fell on his face. Ripper proceeded to beat on him until the Referee stopped the match and security pulled Ripper off.

Tommy Dukes: He's trying to kill security! He's broken free! Someone get a flare gun! Get a bear trap! Get Orange out of there! Wasn't Ripper originally coming for Tack? Guess he's not too choosy.

4. Women's Singles: Foxx Mask #4 beat Calamity Lain via Chokeslam -> Pin
-Foxx looked on as her team mate battered the daughter of Mayor Strong, with hard slams and throws to the corner. A Backbreaker lead to a nearfall, but Chokeslam made it a certainty.

Tommy Dukes: Damn! That's a hard hitting lady! A great asset to Foxx Force Five. So why doesn't Foxx seem happy about that big win? Calamity Lain seems to be in dire straits herself. She seems lost and directionless. That's just me "mansplaining" or whatever that stupid thing is called when you try to make an observation, but also have a penis.

5. 6-Man Tag: Dorado Mask[o]/Hex No Limit/El Mago beat Chad Salad[x]/Misogynist Paul/Robert Sandwich via Doradorana -> Pin
-The Lucha Bastards made very short work of the Heat Parade, with Dorado Mask hitting the signature Doradorana for the pin.

Tommy Dukes: Lucha Bastards would have been a much much much much much better name than Death Triangle. You blew it Neville. You blew it.

Zombie U - Backstage

Nerma: Nerma here, doing the job that Makoto is too big to do. Seriously, we had to help her in through the same entrance we use to bring in the ring and trons and stuff. I'm here with the former 3-Time 4-Crown King Swift. It's great to see you. You're looking good.

Swift: Am I? I still have my arm in a sling, because my shoulder hurts like hell. It's my POUNCING shoulder too, so that pisses me right off. I couldn't care less though. I couldn't care less about the pain or the injury. I want cleared, and I want cleared now. That's why I'm here before you ask. That's what I'm doing here. I know the Wolves have got some business tonight. They've got Dead End to handle, but they can handle Dead End with or without me. Think about it. EBW: Dark to IronBloods to Dead End. We're whittling down the same group of guys. Who cares if they added Jamie OD and his big ol' ginger clone. I'm here to get back into the game officially, because Rumble City is around the corner. Victory Explosion X4 is around the corner after that corner. That's two corners Nerma, and I'm tired of waiting around.

Nerma: I bet you are. You're one of the most popular stars we've ever had. Since coming back and making history last year, you've proven that you're one of the best, the absolute best. Your version of the 3 Wolf Moon t-shirt, where the wolf heads are replaced with your scowling face, is one of our top t-shirt sellers.

Swift: Yeah....I'm not going to lie, I like that one too. You can butter me up, and hype me up all you want, but you can save the breath, because I'll back it up myself in the ring. All you got to do is clear me. Jennings, I want cleared, do you understand? I get that Bashin Dan gave me the fight of my life. That kid, has got something, and I'm man enough to admit that I got beat that day, but that's one day. One day of my life I admit I got beat, but that's all. I'm coming back more hungry than ever. Some people lose the fire when they've done what I've done, but I'm only getting started. I don't want a page of the wrestling history book. I want the front cover, the back cover, AND the foreword! I want-

?: You're just wasting time Swift. All this talk and bloviating is nauseous to me. You've never been the orator that I am, and you can not possibly articulate quite like I can, just how screwed you really are.

Swift: What? Who the hell is-

A figure in a cloaked robe jumped out of the darkness and hit a cutter to Swift, laying him out on the concrete floor.

Nerma: Ah! Stay back!

?: Swift....you tried to humiliate me. You all did. You tried to send me back into obscurity. You tried to forget me. You all tried to forget me. I will not be forgotten. None of us will.






Tommy Dukes: Battle Beast huh? Welcome to Xcite, we're LIVE in Threed, which is now contested territory, and that is why tonight, you're going to see some EWA involvement, whether I like it or not. How about that start to the show? We thought we were going to see Swift get himself cleared to compete at Rumble City, and suddenly he was attacked by someone. I know that Cutter too....just can't put my finger on it.

Makoto Angel: We've got a big night of matches tonight, and I think you're making me say this line because I myself am big. *blush* Lady M's is getting a shot at Foxx Mask #4, the masked talent that has caught the attention of everyone but Tack, namely because I have no idea where he is. Do you?

Nerma: Well Cadmus WILL be in action so stay tuned. Apparently, he's got something you all want, and a Ladder Match is happening to settle all that, but I hear you're making some changes to the plan?

Makoto Angel: I was told to stay tuned myself. I'm not sure what Tack has planned.

Nerma: Interesting. I wonder if he does either.

Tommy Dukes: We know that Bashin Dan is going to put the title on the line against Jackson freaking Kain at Rumble City, and we're going to have a couple words from both men....RIGHT NOW!

-

Jackson Kain: I'm back EBW. It's your favorite Superstar. THE Superstar. I want you all to know that it was never personal, me leaving for the EWA. I just needed a new challenge. A change of scenery for a while. No ill will intended, and this whole "war" that Pirkle wants is not my style. I'm just here for action. I'm just here for a challenge. You can appreciate that Dan, can't ya? Sure you can kid, you live for this stuff. I wanted to remind you who I am, in case you don't know. I'm the man that won the E1 Climax and the World Championship against the at that pointed undefeated Void. I did that. That was highlight reel material, just like this is going to be. I think the Triple Crown will look good on me. I'll get new 8x10s of me holding the belts for my next audition. You're coming into this match "Dangerous Player" as the top Wrestler in EBW. You go in with the titles, but you'll leave with two things. A loss....and my autograph.

-

Bashin Dan: You look back on EBW history, and I mean all EBW history, which includes #EVER, you know the story of Jackson Kain. An interesting character. Lots of heart and lots of talent. A trained fighter that wanted to step out of the movies, and prove himself for real. I respect that. I respect it a lot. I take you seriously Jackson Kain, but you better take me seriously. Injured or not, my heart is 100% committed to winning, and I will not stop for anything. I think that's why they call me the Dangerous Player, and event the toughest veterans are figuring that out.

-

Tommy Dukes: There you have it. Dan is currently working to rehab his injuries at the Battle Spirits Dojo, but don't worry folks, cause we have Dan Club here tonight. They're going to open the show, and we're going to close it with a match between Trevor Mach and Tomo-kun. That's going to be incredible. LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING!

EBW: Xcite
Zombie U, Threed
ENN

1. Non-Title Tag: Jamie OD/Jamie XL[o] beat Generator/Rude[x] via Big Boot -> Pin
-Solid match up, but Generator and Rude's lack of tag cohesion lead to OD distracting the high flier, while XL clobbered Rude with the Big Boot for the pin.

Tommy Dukes: Wow, the Hooligans with a big win over the Wolves. Dead End got a great addition, when they added the World Tag Team Champions. Folks, that was clean as a whistle. I know, I'm surprised too.

2. EBW vs. EWA 6-Man Tag: Jammer[o]/Vape/Benjamin beat The Secretary<EWA>/QT Jobber<EWA>/Kota Hayashi<EWA>[x] via Slam Jam
-The Dan Club battered the EWA job squad, with Kota Hayashi doing a flip onto his head and neck for no reason, allowing Jammer to Slam Jam him for the pin.

Tommy Dukes: That makes no sense! There was no one there. What was he thinking!? EWA didn't send the best today. I'm a little insulted that Pirkle thought these useless assholes were good enough to fight the Dan Club. QT is friends with the Eagleland Cheese family though, so I think we're supposed to care about that?

3. Women's Singles: Lady M's beat Foxx Mask #4 via DQ
-A match that could have been great, if it hadn't gotten derailed. M's was surprised and excited to be locking up with the muscular #4, who seemed the most capable of the whole Foxx Force. However, before the match could get off the ground 21st Century Foxx came in with a chair and laid out M's.

Nerma: And that's a DQ. What's up with that? We were about see something great. Thje crowd is letting her have it.

Makoto Angel: She's saying "I was told to", and remember that she's taking her cues from Tess and Harley Rexx. However, I think she's jealous of Foxx Mask #4.

Nerma: I'm jealous that you're tall enough to see what she's saying from this angle.

Makoto Angel; *blush*

Backstage

Trevor Mach was in the hall stretching with some Lukie Yoga, when Hotlanta approached.

Hotlanta: Please....don't bother getting up.

Trevor Mach: Couldn't if I wanted to. You try doing the splits at my age. Maybe if I'd been doing them my whole life, but trying to start now? What was I thinking?

Hotlanta: Your age? Cut the shit Mach, we both know "age" doesn't mean the same thing to you anymore.

Trevor Mach: Why? Cause of this Death shit? What do you think I am Hotlanta? You think I'm the Grim Reaper? I'm something, I'm not what you think I am.

Hotlanta: I think you're an asshole.

Trevor Mach: Oh wait, then you're right on the money.

Hotlanta: You know what happened to me. You know what they did. We BOTH have a different perspective now. Masked Lanta....and the Malice Rider. Try as we might, we're both bound to it.

Trevor Mach: Maybe you are, but I've got nothing to do with that anymore. I think being a lackey too long has fried your brain. You said you're in control now, so start acting like it. While you're at it, you really should tell me how you still know what you know.

Hotlanta: I am in control. I choose to head down this path. I choose to put you in my sights, and finally have this confrontation, and I choose when that time is. You have a match tonight with Tomo. He doesn't know what I know, but he's been around the same circles long enough to know that ever being your friend, or ever trusting you, was the biggest mistake of his career and life. In that ring, you held him down. In life, you do that too. You strip him of his will, and make him do what you want, like a marionette on string.

Trevor Mach: You think I do that?! Sorry Hot, again, I'm not who you think I am. I'm not God, and I'm not Death, and I'm not capable of something like that.

Hotlanta: You represent someone who does.

Trevor Mach: Heh...so maybe you do understand a little bit. All the same, I'm not the bad guy. I'm a Bad Man, but not the bad guy. Two different things.

Hotlanta: You're the bad guy in my story Mach, but don't worry, Death is coming.

Trevor Mach: *sigh* There's that line again. Seriously....how am I going to get up?

4. Singles: Cadmus beat Dangerous D via Dark Star Cutter -> Pin
-Very quick match, with Cadmus getting another theatrical win, after some showboating, hot dogging, grandstanding, and the Cutter.

Tommy Dukes: I don't like this guy. I don't like that he just waltzes in here with his power, money, good looks, and talent, and somehow no seems to be that upset that he's THAT CLOSE to his sister Bellerophon right now.

Nerma: He's too dreamy to stay weirded out.

Tommy Dukes: So a guy can be a total psycho as long as you think he's "dreamy"?

Nerma: How do you think Tack got six wives?

Makoto Angel: Hey....I mean....maybe?

Cadmus: So, I understand no one has seen Tack Angel in a week. Ahead of our confrontation, I find that disappointing. I put the Dark Star Fragment on the line "Star Prince", and you decide to hide from me?! Pathe-

Tommy Dukes: Wait a minute, who is that gal pushing Subculture out onto the stage?

Makoto Angel: Tack's step sister Tonya.

Nerma: ....Oh no there's more of them.

Tommy Dukes: ....Is she single?

Nerma: TOMMY!

Tommy Dukes: What?! Oh, so it's alright when YOU oogle people, but when I do it it's wrong!?

Nerma: YES!

Tommy Dukes: Son of a bitch!

Subculture: Hey Cadmus, pipe down for a second, because I'm throwing down a challenge of my own.

Cadmus: The son in law? What's the game here?

Subculture: Not one...I want to play....but I really don't have a choice. Listen, Tack is feeling....uh....under the weather, and I don't think he'll be able to fight you until AFTER Rumble City. However, I'm offering to take his place in the Ladder Match.

Cadmus: You? Why should I care to fight you? My fight is with the Star Prince. Your Father in la-

Subculture: Please don't call him that. I don't want to vomit anymore....I'm out of vomit. Listen, you keep the match on, but make it against me, and I'll make a wager of my own. If I win, I get the fragment, but if you win....you get...the Pirate Ship?

Tonya Angel: WHAT?!

Cadmus: Haha! You fool! Offering so much for so little. I have so many pieces of the Dark Star, but that ship, and its Pirates are unique to Crystal Heaven.....and they shall be mine. You have a deal.

Nerma: That's a big wager. Tonya Angel looks livid with the adlib by Subbie there.

Tommy Dukes: Desperate times call for desperate measures? I don't know. I'm having trouble following that feud.

Makoto Angel: We know now that Cadmus is the one with all the Dark Star Fragments. He doesn't just have the one. He's responsible for....well all of this. Not sure where Tack is, but Subculture seems to know, and I need to find out.

Tommy Dukes: She's leaving, grab your water. The vibrations are going to make it fall off the desk.

5. Women's Singles: Duvalie beat Tracy Angel via Rear Naked Choke -> Referee Stoppage
-The Maid of the Eisenritter took on Tracy Angel in a great match up...right up until the end. That always happens doesn't it? They never suck and get better. Late in the match, Kaie tried to come down to the ring, but Hope Mach jumped her and block the interference. However Duvalie had powder in his dress and threw it at Tracy's eyes. As she struggled to see Duvalie locked her in the Rear Naked, but unbeknownst to the ref, Duvalie was using a cord she had stowed in her sleeve for extra choking. The ref stopped the match, giving Duvalie the tainted win.

Nerma: Seriously...why have we not learned yet. You have to search that Maid. SEARCH THAT MAID! Dammit!

6. Singles: Tomo beat Trevor Mach via Brainbuster -> Pin
-Main event time, as two titans basically smashed into each other repeatedly in a Choppa/Lariat/Knee-Fest! Crowd were on their feet for every big move and near fall. The level of quality one could expect, but a bit of an upset finish. Mach missed on the Macha Ye, and Tomo tossed him into the ring post, hurting his knee. Mach limped right into Tomo who landed the Brainbuster for the pin.

Tommy Dukes: Whoa! Holy shit! A loss from Trevor Mach! Tomo with the big win! Hotlanta doesn't look happy about it at all. I wonder why? This is a huge deal! He's raising Tomo's hand and leading him to the back, but I don't get it. Dead End should revel in this.

Trevor Mach: Heh...great match Tomo....you kicked my ass....of course you did. Maybe I wasn't fired up enough, or maybe it just wasn't my night. It's not because I underestimated you, cause I never do that. I know you're the shit. What's wrong Hot? You're upset. Is it because you knew it was coming? You know what's going to happen next? You act like you do. You act like you have all the answers. While we were in this ring, an idea popped into my head for Rumble City. Since Tack's pulling a double then so can I, and I have the perfect match for it. It's not Last Man Standing. It's not I Quit. It's a little bit of both, and I think it's perfect for another round Tomo-kun. In the match if you're taken to the mat, you have 10 seconds to get up and touch your designated ring post, or you quit. Let's call it...."Last Man Fighting". Let's fire up that Bushido spirit eh Tomo? And when it's over, and one of us is left standing, you'll know Hotlanta, if it really is a Dead End or not.

Hotlanta: ....
