After the first chorus of “Unbreakable” by Of Mice & Men finishes, we cut to the inside of the new Zion Wrestling Stadium, where streaks of blue and white pyro goes off over a stage lined with fire! The pyro settles, with the lights coming up to reveal a sold out crowd!
Amber Westgate: We are just two weeks from slaying Daytona Beach, but right here in Zion Stadium, we’re ready to bring some slaughter as well! Welcome everyone…to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Amber Westgate, joined by the lovely Adam LaRue!
Adam LaRue: You shouldn’t have, Amber, I’m flattered! But I’m also very excited by the night we have ahead of us! Tensions finally come to a head as Mai Blackman and Carmen Leija go one-on-one! Plus, the Tag Team Tournament nears the end as Code Black and Thotline Miami square off in the Semifinals!
Amber Westgate: We also have a hell of a main event as Blaze Darling takes on Reina Mendoza! It’s gonna be a big show, ladies and gents! You’re gonna wanna cancel your Friday Night plans for this!
OPENING CONTEST: ERIKA CRAWFORD VS MAKI MEGUMI
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…representing ONI…from Okinawa, Japan…weighing in at 114 lbs…Maki! Megumi!
And her opponent…representing The Queens of Chaos…from Dingley Village, Victoria, Australia…weighing in at 102 lbs…Erika! Crawford!
Amber Westgate: Erika Crawford seeking out revenge from last week, after Maki Megumi came in and interfered in her quarterfinal match against Code Black in the Tag Team Tournament! Do you think that Maki was being particularly petty for targeting Crawford just for pinning her in the tournament, Adam?
Adam LaRue: Petty? Perhaps. But given the amount of significant losses that Maki Megumi has suffered over the past few months, it’s understandable. When you get to the point where you’re taking hit after hit, eventually something clicks with you that things have to change, and I think Maki Megumi sees that change in redeeming her loss against Erika Crawford tonight!
Crawford immediately moves off the bell, approaching Megumi very quickly in anger! But Megumi doesn’t want any of it, backing up as Crawford comes forward and quickly climbing out of the ring! The referee demands for Megumi to get back into the ring, whilst also trying to keep Crawford in the ring herself! Megumi begins to taunt Crawford and the space being kept between them! She then proceeds to argue with the official, leaving them both distracted as Crawford rolls out of the other side of the ring! She comes around ringside, nailing Megumi with a Dropkick that sends her to the floor! Megumi tries to crawl away, only for Crawford to grab her up and throw her into the steel steps at ringside! Crawford pulls Megumi up, throwing her back inside the ring before stepping onto the apron and looking to climb back inside! She gets a leg through the ropes, only for Megumi to pop back up to her feet and take her down with a Dragon Screw Leg Whip! Pin by Megumi!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Crawford! Megumi continues to target the leg, grabbing it right off the pin and nailing Crawford with a Boot straight to the thigh! She pulls Crawford to her feet, looking to send her into the corner with an Irish Whip! But Crawford reverses, sending Megumi into the corner instead before following her in with a Yakuza Kick! She follows up once again, rolling Megumi into the center of the ring before going for a Shining Wizard! Pin by Crawford!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by MegumI! Crawford is frustrated, on top of in pain, as all the action in her leg starts to catch up with her! She pulls herself back to her feet however, grabbing Megumi up as well as she looks for a German Suplex! But just as she goes for the lift, Megumi fights dirty again, raking her eyes and forcing Crawford to put her down! The referee immediately starts to go in on Megumi, with The Fallen Angel feigning ignorance at what happened to Crawford! She eventually is able to take advantage, breaking away from the official to nail Crawford with a Chop Block before going for a pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Crawford! Megumi doesn’t believe it, nailing her over the head with a few more strikes before pinning her again!
ONE…!
Another kick out by Crawford! Megumi is furious by this point, pulling Crawford up in a Ripcord position before looking to pull her in for a move! But it’s instead Crawford who ends up taking her down, intercepting with a Lariat instead! She urges Megumi to get back up, coming back in with another Lariat! Megumi makes it back to her feet, looking to catch Crawford off guard now with a Lariat of her own! But Crawford ducks underneath, tangling Megumi up and dropping her with a Straight Jacket German Suplex! Megumi rolls up to her knees, with Crawford hitting the ropes and nailing her with a Bicycle Knee Strike! Pin by Crawford!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Megumi! Crawford doesn’t let up, however, taking to the top rope as she prepares to go for a Moonsault! But just as she comes down, Megumi gets out of the way, deciding to roll out of the ring! Crawford lands on her feet, completely unbeknownst to Megumi! She hits the ropes, catching Megumi at ringside with a Tope Suicida! She favors her leg a bit, before throwing Megumi back into the ring! She rolls back into the ring herself, waiting for Megumi to get back to her feet before lifting her up for the Dingley Village Driver! She turns with Megumi on her shoulders, accidentally hitting the referee with her legs! Just then, Crawford’s leg buckles, with Megumi now free as she falls to her knees! With the referee down, Megumi decides to play dirty one last time, grabbing Crawford by the head and spraying Green Mist right into her face! Crawford is in agonizing pain now, with Megumi sealing the deal with Ryo No Ikari! Superkick connects! Megumi pins, making sure to cover Crawford’s face so that the referee doesn’t see!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Maki! Megumi!
Amber Westgate: Maki Megumi getting the win due to the assist from that blinding Green Mist!
Adam LaRue: That stuff can be deadly even if a little bit gets into your range, Amber! I can’t imagine the pain Erika Crawford is going through having taken a bunch of it head on!
Megumi celebrates, giving Crawford a devilish smile as she backs up the ramp! Though it isn’t as though Crawford can see it, with Kimberly Williams and Blaze Darling now in the ring with her to wipe the mist from her face as we fade!

RESULT: PINFALL (RYO NO IKARI)
The Lady Of Despair (Quinn)
Last week my perfect creation was blinded by Legion the cloud in front of them was stained red but as they were being blinded as everything turning red her eyes burning like she they had just been set on fire what you could not see with your eyes is that their mind had began to alter thing are not what they seem.
As she was speaking it was revealed that she was in a room that was somewhat dark but i twas illuminated by some candles. She was sitting on the floor with her legs being crossed and in her hands there's a deck of cards as she was shuffling the deck she then began to cut the cards into three different piles. Then she began to spread the cards out across the table. Then she began to glide her hand over the cards till she had chosen the cards that had spoken to her. And the card was the reverse magician and the reversed fool.
The Lady Of Despair (Quinn)
This card is for you Legion it’s an reversed the fool just like you have been to reckless you have been to careless you don't see how dangerous of a position you find yourself in but soon enough the time will come when I burn from your eyes to your feet and you Shall be no more
The Hive the cards have chosen your fate and your fate is the reverse magician meaning everything that has been happening in the past week was a lie you have been lured in by my creation but you have so consumed by anger that you couldn’t see who was really in control for you only so the illusion the what casted in front of you
VixSin walked out from the darkness and into the light but something was different about VixSin gone was the brown hair and wild animal spirit and the animalistic gear and all that was left was red hair and and pale skin and the new gear which was a mesh shirt and black top with a red harness and a black leather tights with one full leg with the other leg being exposed with the main colors being red and black and if you looked into their eyes one was red and the other was fully white but one thing was missing they were completely soulless and empty like they were a shell of who they once were
The Lady Of Despair (Quinn)
This is my perfect creation. Gone are the wild child,the hunter and the primate.. After the many rituals the spirits have granted me with a soul who has been wandering aimlessly .They have been reborn no they have been resurrected they have embraced the dark and in turn have embraced me and I have created a being of pure darkness a being of chaos. They has shed who they once were and have become who they are now the primate is dead and The Nightmare has risen. To the Hive i was the one who has ordered VixSin to go after you
The Lady Of Despair blew out the candle as the room faded to black
MATCH #2: DARIA DORSEY VS MORGANA SUMMERS
Dorsey and Summers square up in the middle of the ring, with the former showing an uncharacteristic amount of sportsmanship as she extends a handshake out to Summers to start this one! Summers isn’t even slightly receptive to this, but the strangeness of the gesture is enough to distract her so that Dorsey can nail her with a European Uppercut! Summers falls back into the corner, with Dorsey running in and following up with a Knee Lift! She comes down from that move, following up once again as she unloads with a Knife Edge Chop! Summers is in trouble here, not made any better as Dorsey pulls her out of the corner and connects with a Swinging Neckbreaker! She floats over for the pin, only getting a two count!
Dorsey starts to pull Summers to her feet, looking to continue the onslaught! But Summers is able to reverse, popping up to her feet and getting Dorsey on her shoulders to hit a Samoan Drop! Dorsey staggers up to her feet, with Summers throwing her into the corner with an Irish Whip! She rushes in, nailing Dorsey with a Knife Edge Chop as a receipt from earlier! She follows up, nailing Dorsey with a Corner Clothesline before jumping up and connecting with an Enzuiguri! Dorsey staggers out of the corner now, with Summers putting her down with a Vertical Suplex! Pin by Summers, only getting a two!
Summers looks to finish this off, waiting for Dorsey to get to her feet before going for Burning Daylight! The Chickenwing Facebuster fails to connect however, with Dorsey rolling through with a Victory Roll Pin that gets a two count! She immediately jumps off of the kick out, nailing Summers with a Double Foot Stomp! She pulls Summers to her feet, before getting her in position and dropping her with a Ripcord Spinning Heel Kick! The BAE-Blade! Dorsey uses Jessi Ozborne’s signature move, pinning Summers while mockingly putting up the Too Sweet gesture! Summers kicks out right before three however! This gets a look of worry from Dorsey, who couldn’t put away Summers with the move that she herself couldn’t kick out of! She decides to stick with what got her to the dance, grabbing Summers’ legs for Daria’s Inferno! But Summers pushes her off, nailing her with a Superkick as she tries to approach her again! She gets Dorsey in position, dropping her with the HexPlex (Regal Suplex), before pinning for the win!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Morgana! Summers!
Amber Westgate: Morgana Summers with a huge important victory ahead of her Viral Championship rematch against Gianna Rojas!
Adam LaRue: You can bet G-Ro is watching, that the fact that Summers just pinned a former World Champion has gotta be kicking her training for SLAYcation into overdrive!
Summers celebrates her victory before taking her leave, with Dorsey left alone in the ring to mull over her loss! The fans taunt her over it, with “You deserve it” chants breaking out as Dorsey yells at each and every one of them! She takes off now herself, continuing to yell at the fans as she makes it to the stage and attempts to disappear through the curtain! But just then a foot comes through the curtain, sending Dorsey to the floor of the stage! The person responsible steps out onto the stage, it’s Jessi Ozborne!
Amber Westgate: Ohhhh boy! Payback’s a bitch!
Adam LaRue: You can’t say we haven’t seen this coming!
Ozborne quickly pounces on Dorsey, with the two brawling on the stage until officials pull them apart as the scene fades!
RESULT: PINFALL (HEXPLEX)
[On the ramp, Devyn Mitchell peers out to the crowd, receiving a warm reaction. A grin grows on her face. She holds a microphone in her left hand and waves to the crowd with her left hand. A few moments pass before Devyn raises the microphone to her lips.]
Devyn: Thank you guys! Thank you Zion wrestling fans. You guys are the best wrestling in the world!
[She beams while glaring at the crowd.]
Devyn: We've had some great action so far and if you think that was great, you haven't seen anything yet. We still have the undefeated Hardcore Champion ISIS-
[The crowd boos. Devyn presses her mouth shut, shrugging her shoulders.]
Devyn: The Hardcore Champion ISIS duking it out with Hana Kankeo. And the main event. What a main event. Blaze Darling and Reina Mendoza square off in a hell of a match. But right now, I have a special guest!
[Devyn raises a finger to the air.]
Devyn: A newcomer to Zion but not to pro wrestling. I've been told she has something to say. So let's bring her out. Ladies and gentleman...Nadia Allen!
[The crowd cheers a bit as Devyn twists her head towards the curtains. On cue, Nadia steps through, dressed in a black tanktop and black leather pants. Her eyes are wide, staring at Devyn and then the crowd. She faces them, nodding her head before placing her hands on her hips.]
Devyn: Nadia! How are you tonight?
[Nadia immediately leans into the mic.]
Nadia: I made it another day so that counts for something right?
[Some of the crowd snicker. Nadia's face remains deadpanned. Devyn jukes her head back a bit.]
Devyn: That is true. You could be dead.
[Nadia shrugs.]
Devyn: I'm glad you're not. Thanks for coming out here with me. I know you have something to say but I wanted to know. It's been a month since you stepped foot here in Zion. What do you think?
[Nadia crosses her arms, briefly glancing at Devyn before turning her attention to the crowd.]
Nadia: Well, I said I wanted to wrestle the best and beat the best. Zion has some of the best here. There's a lot of great wrestlers on Fusion. It only took one match, one show, for me to know coming here was the right decision.
[The crowd cheers a bit. Nadia cocks her head to the left, raising an eyebrow towards them.]
Devyn: Damn right! These fans heard a lot about you before you even wrestled one match here. What's funny is that you've had two matches and it's been against the same person; Melody Slayton.
[The crowd cheers when they hear Slayton's name. Nadia closes her mouth, observing the crowd.]
Devyn: The first time? You got the deuce. She went to management and asked for a rematch. Second time? She evened it up. Something tells me what you have to say has something to do with that.
[Nadia steps forward, nodding.]
Nadia: I'm not much of a talker. And I know all of you are here to see the action in there. So I'll make this quick.
[Nadia shifts her body straight ahead.]
Nadia: Melody, I could have done this on Twitter but this sort of thing shouldn't be on social media. We're pro wrestlers. What we do is violent fighting. It's violence. Devyn said it all. First time, it was a great fight. A great match. And I won. And then you called me out. You wanted me. Makes sense. I was ready. I thought I was ready. And then you caught me. No bullshit here. You got me.
[She runs a hand through her hair.]
Nadia: I'm out in the open so you can see me. The reason why I laughed when you beat me is because I wanted them to ring the bell again right then and there so I could get that win back from you. The same feeling you felt. It's been a week. And we're tied 1-1. I don't like it being tied 1-1. We need to fix that.
[The crowd cheers a bit.]
Nadia: All I wanted was to get back at you, but I have to wait. No more waiting shit. It's been a week. I'm returning the favor. You went to management to get another crack at me. I am now doing the same. I know there's another show next week. There's Slaycation in two weeks right? On the beach?
[She turns to Devyn, who nods.]
Nadia: Whatever works for you. Melody, let's do the rubber match. Let's see who's better. Let's see who walks out of that ring the winner and who has to get scrapped off the mat.
[The crowd cheers a bit louder.]
Nadia: Any time, any place. When you ready, I'm ready. You want me, I want you. You're back on the menu. Whenever you're ready. Violent fighting is right around the corner. I'm ready for you when you are.
[Nadia then steps back, glaring at the crowd.]
Devyn: Nadia Allen everyone!
[Nadia nods to the crowd and then Devyn before turning around and then storming through the curtains.]
MATCH #3: MAI BLACKMAN VS CARMEN “TURBO” LEIJA
This match fails to even get underway, with Blackman rushing out during Turbo’s entrance and attacking her from behind! She begins to wail on Turbo at the top of the stage with Mounted Punches, with Turbo pulling her off to escape! Blackman doesn’t stay back for long, rushing back into a Superkick from Turbo! She grabs Blackman by the head, throwing her head first into the mini-tron! The assault causes a decently sized crack in the screen, with Turbo following up by sending Blackman off the stage!
Amber Westgate: This is getting out of control! We need to get some order out here!
Adam LaRue: And a TV repairman apparently!
Turbo comes towards the edge of the stage herself, looking to follow Mai off of it! But officials eventually come out to stop her! She steps back from the officials, seemingly ready to back off! But she instead goes for Blackman again, sailing over the officials’ heads and dropping onto Blackman with a Crossbody off the stage! She now mounts Blackman with Punches, with Blackman pushing her off as they both make it to their feet! They begin to fight backstage, with the officials following them as we fade!

WINNER: N/A
RESULT: NO CONTEST (MATCH NEVER STARTED)
We open backstage, to the interview set, but there’s no interviewer--only an interviewee, in the recently officially debuted Crown Jewel, Kaitlin Williams, who...to put it simply, looks exceedingly pleased with herself. She’s not in any way dressed to wrestle, just a Manchester United t-shirt and black jeans. The Aussie transplant chuckles to herself, shaking her head as the camera fixes on her.
Kaitlin Williams: “This is the part where I say how proud I am to have debuted with a win, right? This is the part where I tell all you people how much that debut meant to me, how much it meant to step into a Zion Wrestling ring, how important last week was to me...but, truth be told, it was only a matter of time before Zion Wrestling took notice of the best wrestler going and brought me in. It was only a matter of time before they wanted to see if the hype behind the Crown Jewel was real--and, hey. Two wins for the price of one, that ain’t a bad return already, huh?”
She shifts from chuckling to flat out laughing, though, shaking her head negatively, having to wipe her eyes before continuing.
Kaitlin Williams: “Granted, it was against whatever this shell of a woman that Jessica Anderson’s become, and some random twat they plucked off the street before the event started, so it should’ve been obvious what was going to happen from the jump, but...doesn’t change what happened. Two matches, two easy wins, and you got a glimpse--just a glimpse--of who the hell you signed when I walked through those doors...”
As she’s patting herself on the back, you might think Kaitlin’s face would be sporting some big, arrogant smirk, or a shit-eating grin, or something--instead, the more she talks, the more she just looks irritated; first, having to mention Jessica Anderson draws a scowl from her, and continuing on to Jimmy Bones, she just starts shaking her head negatively, like the matches weren’t worth her time.
And as she keeps thinking, keeps recounting last Fusion, she only gets more and more and more annoyed, until she comes to the biggest reason for it.
Kaitlin Williams: “And then...and then, we get to Zara Ivory, who still hasn’t figured out how this game works. I heard your little threat, Ivory, I heard you talk like you think that was real menacing...”
Kaitlin waggles her fingers, “oooo”-ing under her breath before scoffing and flicking a wrist dismissively.
Kaitlin Williams: “Let me make something extremely clear to you, since you don’t seem to understand: I know you think you’re in control, I know you think you’re important because you took the belt from that boring gorilla cunt...”
She furrows her brow, sticks her lower jaw forward, and pounds on her chest a couple times before rolling her eyes and picking right back up.
Kaitlin Williams: “I’m glad holding that belt makes you feel special, but once I showed up? I think you have this fantasy that I picked you, I didn’t pick you, I picked that title around your waist. You were never the centrepiece, you were never important enough to be the centrepiece, you were just the one holding what I wanted. You are a backup dancer in this little performance of ours, at best...and, with that being the case? You don’t get to dictate anything to me; we do things on my time, we do things my way, we do things...when I want, how I want, I’m steering this ship...and you just get to come along for the ride, cupcake. At least, until I decide I want that belt, and then, if you’re smart...you’ll hand it over without much of a fuss, live to fight another day.
Kaitlin Williams: “Or? You can try...really hard...to prove me wrong; you can try really hard to be the exception, the one that makes Kate Williams think twice...and you’ll still fail; you’ll still hand that title over to me, because in the end I am everything I say I am and more; you’ll still bow at my feet like EVERYBODY ELSE has...all over the world.”
Her voice drops in pitch the longer she speaks, as that annoyance from earlier twists into arrogance, a smirk rising on her face. And just as quickly as it dropped? It’s back up to a higher pitch as she finishes her speech off.
Kaitlin Williams: “So, enjoy the time you’ve got left as National Champion...because soon enough, you’ll get to find out what happens when a common wrestler, steps up to the Crown.”
Kate holds her arms out wide, holding the pose for a moment, before the scene cuts to black.
MATCH #4: ISIS VS HANA KANEKO
NON-TITLE MATCH
ISIS moves immediately off the bell, quickly taking Kaneko down with a Big Boot! She taunts, dusting her hands as Kaneko continues to writhe in agony on the mat! She pulls Kaneko to her feet, nailing her with a Forearm to the head that sends her falling back into the corner! ISIS follows up, hitting Kaneko with a Hip Attack before sending her to the mat and going for a pin for the two count!
ISIS pulls Kaneko to her feet, looking to take her down with a German Suplex! But Kaneko reverses, landing on her feet before pushing ISIS chest first into the turnbuckles! She follows up, jumping up onto the second turnbuckle and spiking ISIS’ head to the mat with a Tornado DDT! ISIS crawls up to her hands and knees, with Kaneko hitting the ropes and nailing her with a Basement Dropkick before going for the pin for a one count! Kaneko realizes she’s gonna have to do a lot more, taking to the corner before attempting to climb to the top rope! But she notices ISIS starting to stir, deciding to knock her down further with a Pump Kick! She takes to the top rope, jumping off and connecting a Spiral Tap! Pin by Kaneko getting the two count this time!
Kaneko looks to finish this off, getting ISIS in position before looking for the Blade Stopper! But ISIS reverses, getting her leg up and connecting with a Big Boot as Kaneko tries to pull her in! She gets Kaneko to her feet, pulling her up in position before dropping her with Welcome To Dystopia (One-Arm Powerbomb)! ISIS pins, getting the victory!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…The Zion Wrestling Hardcore Champion…ISIS!
Amber Westgate: Another impressive win for the Hardcore Champion ahead of her match with Ayu Megumi in two weeks time!
We pan over to ringside as ISIS celebrates, with Ayu Megumi watching on and giving her the same slow clap she was given last week.
Adam LaRue: It seems as though we’re not the only ones who think so, Amber! It seems Ayu Megumi has been scouting her opponent!
Amber Westgate: It’s gonna be well needed, if that match was anything to go by!
RESULT: PINFALL (WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA)
We find ourselves backstage in the Zion Wrestling Stadium, where we come to find one of Fusion’s resident interviewers, Vinny James standing by with Nao Saegusa. For once the woman who proclaims herself a Hero is rather lacking in energy, standing by Vinny in her street clothes, looking around absentmindedly until Vinny clears his throat.
“Hey everyone, please give a big welcome to my guest at this time, Nao Saegusa! Now Nao, heh, thank ya for joinin’ me.”
Nao seems to either miss or not pay any mind to Vinny’s joke, as she simply gives him a nod.
“Of course, always happy to talk.”
He nods.
“Great! Hopefully ya still feel that way once we’re done. Well, first, I’ll throw ya an easy one. Ya lost the chance to be Number One Contender to the World Title. Now, you lost to Blaze Darling, but we’ll get to the why of that. What I wanna ask before that is, where’s ya mind at now? Ya said you were gonna make this your year and so far, hasn’t been panning out. What’s that doing to your head?”
She takes a few moments to consider this before starting her reply, trying to find some of that energy.
“...yeah. I won’t lie, it’s tough. I have really high expectations for myself! Especially after beating QUEEN at Destiny, and so far I don’t think I’ve really, uh, what’s the word, capitalized on that. But you know! Before I’d let that discourage me, but I’m stronger than that now! So I’ll keep looking forward, as a Hero should! I’ll still find my way. It’s early days, there’s plenty of time in this season, I can’t get discouraged right out of the gate!”
Vinny nods, seeming to be satisfied with that answer, before giving her a bit of a look, like he’s seeing if she’ll protest what he’s obviously going to talk about next. She says nothing, only some trepidation showing in her face as he goes on.
“Well, how about we talk about what happened in that match with Blaze, pretty clearly why ya didn’t walk out with the win that night.”
Nao closes her eyes and runs her hands through her hair, face hard to read at that moment.
“yeah.”
“Samuel Lopez with that look that cuts through ya soul like a hot knife through butter. Or an axe through a camp counselor maybe. Y’ever see those movies?”
She seems to find the ground quite fascinating suddenly.
“no.”
“Well! Maybe a good idea to. What was going through ya head in that moment, with them eyes on you?”
“I…”
Nao shakes her head briefly.
“I don’t know. It felt…cold. I froze up. I didn’t…it wasn’t good. A-and I don’t even understand why he was there, why he was staring at me like that, I don’t get it!! And-and-and-”
As she continues to ramble on the camera looks past her and Vinny, starting to focus down the hall. At where the corridor turns to another, the light in this adjacent corridor off casting it mostly into shadow. But as the camera zooms in we can see there is something there. Standing there, peering around the corner, looking straight at Nao. The camera continues to zoom in closer and closer, until it’s practically filled with those eyes. They never move, they never twitch, they just wide ahead at Saegusa.
Completely unblinking.
The camera is back to looking at Nao and Vinny suddenly, and Nao continues to stumble over her words about what happened last week but as she does it’s clear to see goosebumps starting to form on her skin, her words slowing as she starts to sweat slightly. She suddenly turns around and looks down the hall behind them.
The light in the adjacent corridor is turned on and shining bright, showing there is no one there. Nao stares at that for a few moments before she looks at Vinny.
“I…I’m not feeling well. I’m going to go. Sorry. Sorry.”
And the wouldbe Hero turns on her heel and hurries away, Vinny watching with confusion and concern. Besides Saegusa’s retreating footsteps there is no other sound.
Except, faintly, the sound of heavy footsteps, perhaps heading the same way Nao did.
“Hey everyone, please give a big welcome to my guest at this time, Nao Saegusa! Now Nao, heh, thank ya for joinin’ me.”
Nao seems to either miss or not pay any mind to Vinny’s joke, as she simply gives him a nod.
“Of course, always happy to talk.”
He nods.
“Great! Hopefully ya still feel that way once we’re done. Well, first, I’ll throw ya an easy one. Ya lost the chance to be Number One Contender to the World Title. Now, you lost to Blaze Darling, but we’ll get to the why of that. What I wanna ask before that is, where’s ya mind at now? Ya said you were gonna make this your year and so far, hasn’t been panning out. What’s that doing to your head?”
She takes a few moments to consider this before starting her reply, trying to find some of that energy.
“...yeah. I won’t lie, it’s tough. I have really high expectations for myself! Especially after beating QUEEN at Destiny, and so far I don’t think I’ve really, uh, what’s the word, capitalized on that. But you know! Before I’d let that discourage me, but I’m stronger than that now! So I’ll keep looking forward, as a Hero should! I’ll still find my way. It’s early days, there’s plenty of time in this season, I can’t get discouraged right out of the gate!”
Vinny nods, seeming to be satisfied with that answer, before giving her a bit of a look, like he’s seeing if she’ll protest what he’s obviously going to talk about next. She says nothing, only some trepidation showing in her face as he goes on.
“Well, how about we talk about what happened in that match with Blaze, pretty clearly why ya didn’t walk out with the win that night.”
Nao closes her eyes and runs her hands through her hair, face hard to read at that moment.
“yeah.”
“Samuel Lopez with that look that cuts through ya soul like a hot knife through butter. Or an axe through a camp counselor maybe. Y’ever see those movies?”
She seems to find the ground quite fascinating suddenly.

We cut backstage in one of the hallways of Zion Stadium, where we see an angry Jessi Ozborne walking down the hall with a purpose! She’s stopped by Devyn Mitchell, who has a microphone in hand!
Devyn Mitchell: Jessi, do you have anything to say about your attack on Daria Dorsey earlier tonight?
Jessi laughs.
Jessi Ozborne: Oh you’re goddamn right I do. Daria Dorsey has been walking around here for too goddamn long acting like her shit don’t stink, and two weeks ago when she attacked me is where I drew the line. Now I’m not gonna stop until every single time she steps into this building is her own personal Hel–
Jessi is interrupted by the sound of clanking metal! The camera pans around her to reveal Mai Blackman and Carmen Leija, still fighting as they throw each other into numerous batches of equipment! Jessi looks on at the carnage being caused, with it being a perfect distraction as Daria Dorsey rushes in to go on the offensive! Her and Jessi go back and forth with strikes, as it seems the building’s entire officiating staff is now here to break up these two fights!
Nova Juaquin: ENOUGH!! From all four of you!
Nova Juaquin steps in, as the officials succeed in pulling the four apart!
Nova Juaquin: You all wanna fight like children, you’re gonna do it in the ring. I’ll have all your contracts for SLAYcation rendered by the end of the night, but next week, I want you two….
She says, pointing to Carmen and Jessi.
Nova Juaquin: ...And you two...
She says, pointing to Mai and Daria.
Nova Juaquin: ...In the ring. Tag Team Match!
Each group of women all look at each other, most of them having differences with one another in their own right, realizing they have to work together next week as we fade!

RESULT: PINFALL (NEON EXPRESSWAY)
Amber Westgate: Ladies and gentlemen, we are just moments away from our main event, but we have some huge matches coming down the pipeline over the next few weeks as well! As you know SLAYcation may be a party, but it doesn’t stop once we’re out of Daytona! After making her intentions clear earlier tonight we can confirm that the rubber match is on! Three weeks from today at Fusion 89, Melody Slayton and Nadia Allen will go at it one more time in the main event!
Adam LaRue: But looking towards next week, we’ve got a hell of an opener! After taking some time to think about what to do about the growing rivalry between Elijah Copeland and Alexis Lemon, Interim GM Nova Juaquin has made a decision! Next week, these two will go one-on-one No. Holds. Barred.
Amber Westgate: That’s gonna be a big way to start off the show, but someone who’s very accustomed to matches like that would be our Hardcore Champion, ISIS! At SLAYcation, she takes on Ayu Megumi with her title on the line, and now we know how we’re gonna find out what match it will be in! Next week Ayu Megumi and ISIS will face off in a Beat The Clock Challenge, whoever can win their match faster than their opponent will get to choose the stipulation for their match at SLAYcation!
Adam LaRue: Earlier tonight, we got to hear it from the horse’s mouth and now we can see that it’s penciled in for next week! Rivals will go head-to-head in tag action, but obviously with some strange bedfellows! Jessi Ozborne and Carmen Leija take on the team of Daria Dorsey and Mai Blackman! Will these two sides be able to put aside their predisposed differences to take out their rivals of today?! We’ll find out next week!
Amber Westgate: And I’m just getting wind of a HUGE main event in line for next week! You’re not gonna believe this, Adam! Next week, we’re getting Champion vs Champion action, as Viral Champion Gianna Rojas goes one-on-one with World Champion Jordan Majors!
Adam LaRue: Wow! Nova Juaquin is pulling out all the stops for next week! What a match!
Adam LaRue: But speaking of the World Champion, we got a Main Event with the champ’s #1 Contender to get to!
MAIN EVENT: BLAZE DARLING VS REINA MENDOZA
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!

Amber Westgate: Reina Mendoza has been looking like a bulldozer since contending for the World Championship! Now she comes face-to-face with another Queen of Chaos in route to her match with Jordan Majors at SLAYcation!
Adam LaRue: Blaze Darling isn’t just any other member of the Queens of Chaos, though, Amber! She’s a hell of a talent unto herself, and she’s extra determined, considering that the only reason Reina even has her match with Jordan Majors right now is off of the interference of Evangeline Sinclair!
Darling knows better than to hesitate at this juncture, rushing Mendoza immediately off the bell! This hardly helps her however, with Mendoza immediately taking her down with a Shoulder Tackle! Darling rolls up to a knee as Mendoza invites her to get up and go after her again! Darling looks up at Mendoza with a slight look of hesitation, but she doesn’t let up! She rushes towards Mendoza again, rushing underneath a swing from her before digging in with a set of vicious Kicks to her sides!

Mendoza still staggers, with Darling hitting the ropes again in hopes of knocking her down this time! But when she comes back, she runs right into a Lariat from Mendoza!

ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Darling! Mendoza begins to show frustration with her opponent’s tenacity, pulling her up to her feet before dropping her with a Saito Suplex!

She pulls her into position for a Powerbomb, directing her throw towards the ring ropes as she seems to wanna drop Darling into the ringside area!

But Darling reverses just in the nick of time, dismounting from Mendoza’s shoulder and sending her face first into the steel post!
Mendoza staggers, with Darling seeing her chance and pushing her back into the ring! She takes to the second rope now, waiting for Mendoza to climb back to her feet before hitting One Way or Another! Tornado DDT connects! Pin by Darling!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kick out by Mendoza! Darling is left in horror in disbelief, completely terrified at the idea of the match not yet being over! She doesn’t let up however, grabbing onto Mendoza’s tree trunk sized legs and looking for Surface Pressure! She tries to twist Mendoza into the Liontamer, but she doesn’t go for it, using her legs to push Darling off before getting to her feet and hitting the ropes! She comes back, nailing Darling with a Clothesline From Hell! Mendoza laughs at her grounded opponent, but Darling trying and failing to get some movement going to prove she still has some fight left in her! Mendoza decides to put her out of her misery, pulling her to her feet and hitting the ropes again, nailing her with a second Clothesline From Hell! This time, Darling doesn’t move a muscle after hitting the ground! Mendoza smiles as she pins, having gotten the sure victory!
ONE…!
TWO…!

Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Reina! Mendoza!
Amber Westgate: A bold effort by Blaze Darling, but Reina Mendoza just had too many advantages in this one!
Adam LaRue: And that may be the fate that awaits Jordan Majors at SLAYcation! Reina Mendoza just put the World Champion on notice!
Mendoza sits up from the pin, looking back at a fallen Darling before looking up and taking a deep breath. It’s clear from her body language that as much as she just laid waste to Blaze Darling, she may have just dodged a bullet against her as well. Evangeline Sinclair joins her in the ring, with Mendoza getting to her feet and having her hand raised as we fade to black!
