After the first chorus of “Unbreakable” by Of Mice & Men finishes, we cut to a sweeping drone shot of the Zion Wrestling District of UGWC’s WrestleStock! We cut down to ringside, as we see Amber Westgate and Adam LaRue standing by!
Amber Westgate: We have had a blast here in Arizona this week, and the blue brand is about to add a little more to it! Welcome to Friday Night Fusion, I’m Amber Westgate joined as always by Adam LaRue!
Adam LaRue: We have a huge night in store for you here! In our main event, we got the Undisputed Tag Team Championships on the line, as Code Black and The Deathriders square off in what is sure to be a dream match! But first, in just a few moments, we’re about to have a grudge match for the ages, as Legion and ISIS square off in a Hardcore Championship Match! Stay tuned, as we hear from the Hardcore Champion!
The scene opens in the location of the Zion Wrestling Hall of Fame. Eden Sterling is standing to the right of ISIS, fitting due to ISIS branding the newest member of Fusion as the Right Hand of Destruction. Standing to the left of ISIS is Maki, the Angel of Destruction. Of course, standing in the middle, wearing the Zion Wrestling Hardcore Championship along with two other championships that are resting on each shoulder. The God of Destruction, ISIS. The triple champion looks over to Eden, nodding at her.
Eden Sterling: I'm sure more than a couple of people didn't like my actions as of late. Haven't like how I've acted or treated people. Katrina Lopez sure didn't, did she? Fortunately for me, I impressed enough of the right people to help give me another chance. One I am not taking lightly. For far too long, I was just a good hand, happy to be here and did my best with what came at me. And that got me nowhere. So here I am, on the tip of people's tongues again and it feels great. Nadia, I know you took exception to what I did to you, and I get it. I would too in your shoes, but I want to assure you this, it wasn't personal. Strictly business. A business decision to help further my rise. My ascension as The Right Hand of Destruction. You're welcome to try me but I won't be denied any longer. No more waiting, no more waiting for opportunities. Just taking them every chance I get. As for Jay Broni? You might want to scrap him off the mat after I'm done with him.
ISIS looks at Maki and nods in her direction.
Maki Megumi: Tonight, both Eden and my God will win. This is all I can spoil tonight. No one can escape from my own destiny. And no one survived the hands of the gods. I can tell anyone who stands opposite. God, their end will not end well. Because my God will crush both their hopes and their bodies. Of course, what happened to Ayu is an example of those who dare to challenge God like ISIS. That is a warning that everyone here knows that their destiny is in the hands of God and of course, that when the judgment time came, they had no choice. They have no escape The only thing they have to accept is defeat. Of course, many people wonder what is going on with me, but this is the path I choose and it's the best. serving God will advance my career. I want the stupid crowds praise me? I don't have any feelings for them anymore. And tonight, Jay Broni? I had thought that God's right hand would let you escape tonight because. Eden would go out to the ring tonight to crush Jay Broni's dreams and hopes. There was no way he could survive the night of judgment. And Legion tonight is the day that fate has set for you. Must find the end The only thing you can do is kneel in front of my God. There is no way to force the fate of you, just like Ayu Megumi. This is the ending that your destiny has set. This is a defeat that the fate of you cannot avoid.
ISIS pats her Angel of Destruction on the shoulder. She redirects her attention to the camera.
ISIS: “I don’t feel the need to showcase my EHWF Showtime and Global Championships on Zion TV. Never saw the point. Tonight I made an exception.”
“Legion, I want to remind you of what happened in our last battle…”
“You challenged me for the Showtime Championship. Predictably you failed.”
“Failure against me is nothing new. In NFW I took down your HIVE single handedly. Mister J hasn’t been seen since… there’s a Ms. J now? Ok then. You were overcome with so much embarrassment you fled NFW, set up roots here, became a World Champion. Bravo by the way… just like our encounter in EHWF. It doesn’t matter what wrestling company you flee to, Fate will always dictate you will always be my bitch. I am the one constant you can’t overcome, Legion. Doesn’t matter who you surround yourself with. Doesn’t matter what depths you sink to, the law of the land remains constant. Your arms are too short to box with God. Fate isn’t on your side. Not now. Not ever.”
The three women walk away out of the cameras view as the scene fades to black.
After the previous segment had ended, Hana Kaneko was standing around inside the Yellow Rose Salloon, just looking around as she was waiting for the interviewer to finish the introduction that they were doing. Due to having a match later she was already dressed in her ring gear that was covered by the kimono she would wear during her entrance. In one hand she had the large katana she would bring to the ring with her. Her very colorful Kitsune mask was around her neck, a rare time that she wanted to show her face but she wanted to be able to be heard clearly when she was speaking.
『Interviewer』❝Hello! Welcome back to the Zion District at UGWC WrestleStock! I'm joined here with Hana Kaneko! So, Hana, as you know you'll be in a Fatal Four Way later today, and you said that you knew some of the people in the match already, what did you mean by that?❞
『Hana』❝Well…eh, thanks for having me here, first of all. The past I have in Zion is a past that I appreciate and cherish whenever I look back on what had happened. But to answer your question, only two of the names are familiar to me. Morgana Summers and Mai Blackman. I suppose I'll start with Morgana. Morgana was the one that I defeated to become Viral Champion back in July of last year. I'm honestly happy to share the ring with her again, It was a fun match from what I remember. The two of us matched up pretty well. Now, moving onto Mai Blackman. She's the person who beat me for that title, thirty-six days after I won it. I've always wanted to face off with her again as well, to be honest that is still on my mind, I've wanted to get my hands on her since then, so it's refreshing to see her name across from mine again. Kimberly though, I don't think we've met yet. She won't forget me after this match though, and that's going to end up being a promise rather than empty words.❞
Hana had taken a look over at the interviewer who was nodding at every word the wrestler had said, having her arms crossed while the large sword was resting against the wall behind them. When the next question was ready, Hana had turned back to the interviewer to listen to the question and give another answer. She didn't really have an expression on her face just like the week before. Her expressions were limited at times like this.
『Interviewer』❝Oh! Well, all of that is very interesting. I also want to ask you, will your comments about Ayu Megumi last week interfere with this upcoming match, or are you putting her aside until later?❞
『Hana』❝I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not nearsighted or unable to concentrate on multiple things. I want Ayu to be watching this to that she can have a preview of what could possibly happen if she has any kind of answer for my challenge. But like you mentioned, I am mostly focusing on this match today because I'm not one of the people that show up to Zion just to half ass things and get the paycheck that comes with it. I don't care about any of that, I just want to fight people and wrestle. I love to do this, like I said before. None of the extra shit matters to me like it matters to everybody else. The feeling of combat flows through my blood and my bloodline. I know Kasumi is watching this, so Hello, Kid. I'm not even looking past this match yet, though. I will look past it once the match is over, but for now I'm going to go into this match with everything that I have, and those three women will get everything that the Golden Flower has to offer. I have enough suffering for everybody.❞
As the interviewer was about to say another word, a fan had come up to them with a question, clearly a fan of the other people in the match when they had asked ❝Is the fact that you're older than the rest of them going to come into play? They are clearly quicker and better than you.❞ At first, the question just made Hana turn to the interviewer and shrug, not sure if she should answer that. But the interviewer said to go ahead, so she laughed at that and turned back to the fan.
『Hana』❝Well, I don't see why that would really affect anything, would it? This sport has never been about the number of age, so I really ask you why you have such a dumb question? Clearly biased as well. I don't see why I'm wasting my breath with this, but I suppose I'll say it once just so that you can understand it. My age will never stop me from doing anything in Zion or any other company that I am in. NJFC, JET, whatever company it may be. You're not going to see me against the ropes and defeated because of age. What that number says, my body says the opposite. You clearly haven't even seen a match of mine, because if you have, you'd know that I can move like somebody half my age and still take a lot of punishment. So, if that was really a factor, I wouldn't be standing here right now. I also suggest that you find better questions to ask people, because not everybody is going to be as nice as I am, and actually entertain such a stupid statement. If you want to test my answer, just watch the match later. It's as simple as that. I think you're going to have a heartbreaking moment when your favorites can't out wrestle an "old" person like me.❞
『Interviewer』❝Okay! Uhm, that's all the time we have for Hana Kaneko! Enjoy the rest of the show!❞
Both Hana and the Interviewer waved at the same time as the segment had faded and moved on to what was next.
OPENING CONTEST: LEGION VS ISIS
HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Darrion Hughes: The following contest is held under Hardcore Rules and it is for the Zion Wrestling HARDCORE! CHAMPIONSHIP!
Introducing first, the challenger…representing The Hive…from Aokiga-
Just then, ISIS runs in behind Legion and takes her down with a Forearm! She mounts her challenger, laying in even more strikes to her!
Amber Westgate: Whoa! What a way to kick things off here!
Adam LaRue: We knew the history between these two is very sordid, but it seems the tensions have boiled over here!
ISIS pulls Legion to her feet, looking to throw her around again! Legion begins to fight back, nailing ISIS in the back with strikes! ISIS starts to return fire, pushing Legion back into the apron with a Shoulder Tackle! None of this deters Legion, who continues to clobber ISIS across the back with strikes! The referee, seeing no end to this, just decides to ring the bell and let these two go at it!
ISIS pulls Legion away from the apron, dropping her to the ground at ringside with a Back Body Drop! Legion tries to get to her feet, but ISIS gets a hold of her instead, looking to throw her into the ringsteps! Legion fights back now, sending ISIS into the steps instead! ISIS crawls away, with Legion letting out a mighty scream in anger! Her look of fury quickly turns to that of sadistic happiness, with Legion grabbing the steps that she just threw ISIS into and waiting for her to get up! ISIS eventually staggers back to her feet, with Legion looking to throw the steps straight into the champion’s head! ISIS manages to dodge the flying steps however, rushing Legion and sending her through the barricade with a Spear!
Crowd: HO-LY SHIT!! HO-LY SHIT!! HO-LY SHIT!! HO-LY SHIT!!
ISIS pulls Legion to her feet, before lifting her up in a Gorilla Press Position! Impressively, ISIS manages to carry Legion this way from the hole in the crowd that’s opened up all the way to ringside, tossing Legion back into the ring over the ropes! ISIS starts to dig under the ring for a weapon, seemingly landing comfortably with a Baseball Bat! She looks back up from the apron, just in time for Legion to nail her with a Dropkick through the ropes and causes ISIS to drop her Bat! Legion slips onto the apron from there, waiting for Legion to make it to her feet before rushing off the apron and looking for a Hurricanrana! But ISIS doesn’t go for it, pulling Legion back up as she tries to take her down! ISIS pulls her up for a Powerbomb, but unbeknownst to her, Legion was able to grab the Baseball Bat off the ground before she was pulled back up! She nails ISIS over the head with it, causing her to have to drop her! Legion keeps hold of the bat, using it to assist her as she takes ISIS down with a Russian Legsweep! Legion goes for the pin at ringside!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by ISIS! Legion decides to end this one, waiting for ISIS to make it to her feet before going for the Starlight Booster! But ISIS gets out of the way, catching Legion with a Pop-Up Powerbomb onto the barricade when she returns! ISIS throws Legion back into the ring, waiting for her to get up before rushing her and nailing her with a Bicycle Kick! Pin by ISIS!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Legion! ISIS looks to end this now, getting Legion to her feet and looking for Welcome To Dystopia! Just as she goes to lift, however, Legion catches her by surprise, spewing a cloud of venomous red mist right into the champion’s face! ISIS falls to a knee, with Legion hitting the ropes and nailing her with Shattered Realms! Stomp connects! Pin by Legion!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Just then, someone pulls the referee out of the ring to break the count! It’s Maki Megumi! She smiles and waves as she backs up the entryway, much to the fury of Legion! But just then, Megumi gets turned around, it’s Erika Crawford! The two of them begin to trade strikes back and forth, with the fight eventually spilling out into the crowd!
Amber Westgate: Erika Crawford comes to wipe out Maki Megumi! It looks like she hasn’t forgotten what went down a few weeks ago!
Adam LaRue: And it looks like her grudge against Maki Megumi has inadvertently evened the odds for Legion!
Legion sets up, looking to once again catch ISIS with Shattered Realms! She runs towards ISIS for it, only to be taken down by a cloud of red mist herself! It’s VixSin! She takes down Legion, leaving as ISIS makes it fully back to her feet! She hoists Legion up, dropping her with Welcome To Dystopia! One-Armed Powerbomb connects! Pin by ISIS!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…and STILL Zion Wrestling HARDCORE! CHAMPION!...ISIS!
Amber Westgate: It looked worrisome for the Hardcore Champion, but in the end ISIS retained her title!
Adam LaRue: VixSin still harboring some resentment for Legion after last week, and made sure it came back to bite her when it mattered most!
ISIS stands tall with her title, trying hard to scrub the mist from her eyes as we fade!

RESULT: PINFALL (WELCOME TO DYSTOPIA)
We cut to an area in the Sonoran Desert where we see Nao Saegusa who is constantly scanning the hazy desert, clearly keeping an eye out for the man who has been tormenting her for weeks now, Samuel Lopez. As she continues to wander, not paying attention to what is in front of her, she ends up accidentally bumping into someone and as she opens her mouth ready to apologize to the individual, she stops herself as she realizes it is in fact, Dr. Castiel Talbot. The elderly gentleman grasps his walking cane tightly and smiles warmly at the young Japanese woman in front of him.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Good day, Ms. Saegusa. I would ask if you are enjoying the WrestleStock festivities here in the Sonoran Desert but it would appear you seem on edge?
Nao’s reaction is to jump back slightly, eyes wide as she immediately scans the area around them and even behind Talbot, his smile doing nothing to change the look on her face as she keeps herself in a defensive posture.
Nao Saegusa: O-on edge? I wonder why! It’s almost like I’m being sta-purs-followed by your… big creepy guy! Maybe I’m on edge because maybe I’m allergic to whatever he put over my face to knock me out! Maybe I’m tired!!
She pauses a moment and wearily rubs at her eyes.
Nao Saegusa: Maybe I’m really really tired of being put through this…
The doctor nods as he listens to the young woman speak as he strokes his beard.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: I understand. I also do not expect you to think of me any different to my dear nephew either. However… it matters not whether I agree or disagree with what he does… for he is his own person and I do not control his actions.
Talbot pauses for a moment.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: I am not going to condone his actions towards you, Ms. Saegusa… but you must understand that I refuse to control him. He has already spent most of his life being controlled by others… by vicious, evil, mean-spirited people. And now that he is free? Whatever he chooses to do with this freedom is completely up to him.
Nao listens to the older man and lets out a slight “tch” at his explanation of his nephew’s actions.
Nao Saegusa: Even if what he does is take freedom away from others? He took Jay for a week, I was… I don’t even know where for a day and a half! What about our freedom? I’m sorry he was hurt by people, but that will never be an excuse to hurt others, or to sit back and let him do that! There’s a word for people that do what Samuel has done to people. It starts with a “V.” What happened to him before doesn’t change what he is now.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: You are correct. I am not going to dispute that. My nephew is unpredictable. And a man of my age and frail nature? You have seen how big Samuel is, Ms. Saegusa. Which is why I stay out of his way when he conducts whatever business he so chooses. I am merely here to speak on his behalf when he is unable to do so.
Castiel pushes his glasses up from over the bridge of his nose to over his eyes.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Which brings me to why I am actually here, for this was not simply an accidental meeting between us. But I am sure you have figured that out already. The message is simple… and before I deliver it I must forewarn you that my dear Samuel is here. He is watching. And he is close by.
This news immediately puts Nao on edge as her eyes begin to dart around again.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: You claim yourself to be a hero, yet there can be no hero if there is not a villain. Your fear is clearly visible… and my dear Samuel can sense it as he fears nothing. And that is why you ended up becoming his target. And the only way this will end… is entirely up to you. Either you live up to being the hero you claim yourself to be… or you shall simply become another horror movie victim. The choice is yours, my dear.
The nervous fear on her face as she looks around the desert that surrounds them, trying to find those unblinking blue orbs in the haze of sand suddenly dies down a bit as Dr. Talbot finishes speaking, replaced with a sudden anger.
Nao Saegusa: I am no victim! N-no matter whether there’s fear or whatever, I will never be a victim for your nephew or anyone else! I am a HERO! I have been through too much to let some-some-some-sOMEWHATEVERHETHINKSHEIS to try and reduce that down to a victim! That’s not what I am, that's not what I’ll be made into!
She turns to face the sand and calls out.
Nao Saegusa: HEY! If you’re really watching me! Remember one thing, those guys in those movies lose in the end!
She turns back to Dr. Talbot and points at him.
Nao Saegusa: I’m no one’s target or victim or any of that! And if he thinks he can make me into one, t-then no matter my fear, I’ll show him what a Hero is! That’s what a Hero does!
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Then I wish you the best of luck, Ms. Saegusa. Oh and one more thing… do remember that this is real life and not a movie. And unlike the movies… reality does not always have a happy ending. Now if you will excuse me, I have heard that the pork they sell here at this event is simply to die for! Good day to you, young lady.
Talbot chuckles away to himself as he walks away from Saegusa. Her face turns to one of disgust at the pork comment, recalling the pig corpse she had to deal with a few weeks ago. She can’t help but mumble to herself as she watches Talbot go.
Nao Saegusa: Then someone has to make HIM remember the same thing…
The camera then slowly zooms in on the angry face of Saegusa as we cut elsewhere.
Dr. Castiel Talbot: Good day, Ms. Saegusa. I would ask if you are enjoying the WrestleStock festivities here in the Sonoran Desert but it would appear you seem on edge?
Nao’s reaction is to jump back slightly, eyes wide as she immediately scans the area around them and even behind Talbot, his smile doing nothing to change the look on her face as she keeps herself in a defensive posture.

The camera then slowly zooms in on the angry face of Saegusa as we cut elsewhere.
Just outside the Zion Wrestling Hall of Fame we spot Kimberly Williams carrying her trusted ally and friend, the stuffed toy (and yet very deadly) penguin she lovingly calls Wasley. The Woman Scorned is dressed in her crimson red and black ring gear. A pleasant grin is on her lovely face.
Kimberly Williams: Are you enjoying WrestleStock, Wasley? I know it isn’t Woodstock but DAMN IT I cannot find a working time machine that will let us go back and visit. Besides, the last time I hijacked Anna’s time machine she got pissed at me for accidentally rewriting history. So you’ll have to settle for listening to the music when it comes to Woodstock. But WrestleStock is pretty cool too. Especially the ZION district! Maybe we can track down some of my fellow Queens of Chaos, or Ollie, and we can throw things at old people!
Wasley: …
Kimberly Williams: I know you’re upset, Wasley, but I warned you that there wouldn’t be any penguins in the Zion Wrestling Hall of Fame. Hell, the closest thing we have to penguins in Zion are The Void. They do sport that black color like your fellow birdbrains. But outside of them? Nah, sorry, no penguins.
Wasley: …
Kimberly Williams: Oh me? Well who knows? There might be a place for me in that hall one day. But not anytime soon. I still need to find my footing. I had a chance to become the inaugural hardcore champion and couldn’t seal the deal. I had a chance later to win it but I still couldn’t get the job done. Oh but there’s no need to give up on me yet, my feathered friend! I am making progress! I am a member of the Queens of Chaos now. That prestige will help get me the opportunities I want. And all I need is just one chance to prove myself, one opportunity to show ZION that I am not just a deranged lunatic who loves torturing herself in barbed wire and thumbtacks, but I am also the deadliest bitch you will ever run across and maybe, just maybe…
She turns and points to the entrance to the Hall of Fame.
Kimberly Williams: …a future Hall of Famer!
Wasley: …
Kimberly Williams: Well that’s the thing, how do I go about proving myself? Tonight could be that night, my perpetual penguin of posthumous plotholes. See, I am facing not one…not two…but three different opponents! Just think of it Wasley? Three opponents! Imagine the kind of chaos that three opponents will bring? Think of the chaos that three opponents will create? And you know damn well that I thrive in a chaotic environment. The more chaotic, the crazier, the more likely I am to win! Hana, Mai, Morgana…sorry, but this is MY turf, these are MY rules, and this is MY match to lose!
Wasley: …
Kimberly Williams: What do I get out of this? Simple. I get to join Team Zion at Foundations for Decay. I get to compete on behalf of Zion. I get to fight for its honor! Now if winning tonight against three top talents isn’t enough evidence of what I can do, then competing with Team Zion and WINNING would definitely do the trick. It would prove to the world that I am no longer just a deranged lunatic who wants to watch the world burn. I am more than that. I am a proud wrestler, proud of what I do, and definitely proud of where I came from…the Jones Family Wrestling Legacy runs through my blood! My mother was a former thirteen time world champion. My sisters have held ten world championships between them. And me? I might not have reached that pinnacle yet, but I have taken an entire company’s division and reshaped it in my image. Have I had that same success in Zion?
She shakes her head.
Kimberly Williams: No…but I KNOW I can do it, I know that I HAVE to do it! And I know that if I win tonight and qualify for team Zion, then that victory at Foundations for Decay is as good as ours.
Wasley: …
Kimberly Williams: Ok, ok, fine! We can stop by the Yellow Rose Saloon later. But I’m warning you, there will be NO penguins there! Now come on, I have some asses to kick!
Williams skips away happily with Wasley in tow.
MATCH #2: ANGELICA MATTHEWS VS NAO SAEGUSA
Darrion Hughes: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: Introducing first…residing in Zurich, Switzerland…weighing in at 127 lbs…Angelica! Matthews!
And her opponent…from Saitama, Japan…weighing in at 117 lbs…Nao! Saegusa!
For a while, people are anticipating the arrival of Nao Saegusa with the crowd cheering for her to appear! But she doesn’t show up, with Matthews even growing impatient!
Amber Westgate: Where the hell is Nao Saegusa! She has a match!
Adam LaRue: I think I may have an answer! Look!
Just then the screens on stage light up, with Samuel Lopez’s face pasted all over them! The camera pans around, with Nao Saegusa laid out next to him.
Amber Westgate: Oh…oh my god…
Adam LaRue: Samuel Lopez’s behavior has bridged to straight up deranged, Amber! What the fuck is this?!
Amber Westgate: I don’t know, but we may need to get medical personnel to check on Nao Saegusa!
Adam LaRue: If they can find her!
Angelica Matthews stands in the ring, laughing at the situation that unfolded for her opponent tonight! That laughter eventually ceases, with the crowd cheering at something coming towards her! We eventually find out what it is, with Alexis Lemon rushing her and nailing her with a Forearm Strike from behind! She mounts the downed Matthews, drilling her with strikes until Matthews is able to escape under the bottom rope! Matthews is worked up as Lemon yells at her from inside the ring!
Amber Westgate: Lemon with the attack! Seems like her business with her isn’t over!
Adam LaRue: From the look on Matthews’ face, that may be the last thing she wanted to know!

RESULT: NO CONTEST
The lights go down over the crowd and ring as the opening chords and lyrics to “Warrior” by Unstitched Heart play and the crowd comes alive. As the lights come back up, Jordan Majors is standing on the stage holding the Zion World Heavyweight title up with her left hand. She stands on the stage and looks out at the crowd as the first verse begins and the crowd sings along with it. She can’t help but grin as she begins to walk down toward the ring.
Wearing a Jessi Ozborne t-shirt and jean shorts, Jordan steps down the ramp and high fives a few fans on the way. When she reaches the bottom she rounds the ring and grabs a microphone before she climbs into the ring. Majors takes another look out at the crowd before she places the belt on her shoulder.
Jordan Majors: Phoenix! Wrestlestock! What the hell is up, guys?
There’s a cheap pop reaction from the crowd as they roar in approval. Jordan laughs and brings her mic back up.
Jordan Majors: I suppose there’s something you’d all like to talk about, huh? Like maybe a former Undisputed Champion and what he had to say last week? I’ve gotta say, when Kasey Kash came walking down that ramp at the end of my match two weeks ago… I didn’t know what to think. I’d just had a grueling match with Reina Mendoza and this man was walking down that aisle looking like he wanted to pick the scraps. Just to get his kicks, you know? But I’ll give the man some credit. What he did was basically make his intention clear…
Jordan turns and taps the title with her hand as she looks at it.
Jordan Majors: Kasey wants this title. He wants to add to his legacy in this company. And who’s standing in his way? Well, you know that answer. So I’d say I wasn’t surprised at all last week when he strutted his way out to the ring and told the crowd exactly what he wanted. A match, with me, for the World Heavyweight Championship. Now, I’ve had some time to think about this challenge. Kasey hasn’t exactly won anything to earn this opportunity. And I don’t HAVE to accept his challenge. So when it comes to what Kasey wants–
At that point, “How I Disappear” by My Chemical Romance begins to play, and Kasey Kash begins to make his way out onto the stage, microphone in hand. He looks around at the crowd and gets them fired up before making his way down the stage, also wearing a Jessi Ozborne shirt, more specifically the white one he wore in his deathmatch against Johnny Towers at his previously unaired Deathmatch Birthday Show, still covered in his blood.
He slides under the bottom rope and taps his microphone.
Kasey Kash: This thing working?
The crowd reacts positively to Kasey, who smiles and switches his attention to Jordan.
Kasey Kash: Alright. Lemme talk to ya, Jordan. I understand that you might not be pleased with me interrupting you here, like I interrupted your celebration a couple weeks back. But fuckin hell, man. I think we’re all wanting to hear for you for one reason, and you just seemed to keep dancing around it.
Kasey starts eyeing her championship.
Kasey Kash: Look I know I haven’t wrestled in nearly two months, but that’s changing tonight. I know I haven’t really done anything to warrant demanding a championship match… but fuckin hell, Jordan. With no offense to your previous opponent, I think my name holds more weight around these parts than Reina Mendoza. I also know that me coming out here after your match with her did numbers on the social media sites. Had people talking about it from all over. I know the match would be insane, I know everyone here tonight at Wrestlestock thinks the same, right guys?
Kasey holds his arm out and walks around the ring with the microphone out towards the crowd, who respond positively again, letting them know. Kasey stops circling, and is now standing next to Jordan, looking at her championship, then at her.
Kasey Kash: And I think deep down… you also know it… don’t you, Jordan?
Kasey then steps in front of her, before turning to face her again. Jordan smirks and brings her mic back up.
Jordan Majors: You know something kinda wild to me? We’re standing here in this ring wearing t-shirts for the same damn person. But you and me? This is the first time we’ve ever really stood eye-to-eye and talked. So let me take a moment to give you an introduction you don’t need. Last week you talked about yourself as an original. Well if there’s a next class that comes right after that, it would be just a handful. Say, me and… Razzles Mars? Yeah, yeah, I know you know her. But me? I’m basically a Fusion original. I’ve been on Fusion since my first day in the company. This might as well be my show. Because I started here and took a title from its infancy into its relevancy. I’m a three-time champion in this company and it all happened right here. This show? I fucking love this show.
Jordan nods to herself and the crowd gives her a positive reaction. She looks out at the crowd for a moment before she turns back to Kasey.
Jordan Majors: Every ounce of blood. The sweat. Yeah, I’ll admit it: the tears. Everything I’ve given to this company has been about making this show the best it can be. Better than Mayhem. Better than any third show that pops up for a month or two. Better than any other company’s show if it can be. I’ve given everything I can to this company. And for one of the best wrestlers I’ve ever seen to just show up and throw his name at my title? Out of nowhere? Basically a fucking legend of the industry…
Jordan pulls her mic down and puts her hands on her waist and circles around the ropes. The crowd grows uneasy as she paces. Then she struggles to hold back her grin as she stops and looks back at Kasey.
Jordan Majors: I mean, hell… you’re Kasey fucking Kash. Of course I accept the challenge.
The crowd pops heavy with a roar that fills the stadium. Jordan looks around at the crowd before she looks back at Kasey and taps on the title on her shoulder. Kasey chuckles and scratches his chin.
Kasey Kash: There we go, Jordan! The answer we were all waiting for. Now, you’ll have to forgive me if you don’t just let you go about your way after saying that. Cause you got to speak your piece, I think it’s only fair I get a chance to speak mine, no?
Kasey puts his hands on his hips, walking over to the corner and thinking about it for a moment.
Kasey Kash: Alright. Where do we start? Fuck it lets start with the shirt thing. Yeah we’re both wearing a shirt for the same person, aye? But, I think they both show the type of person we are. Yours is pristine, well kept. Where as mine is… well… mine is fucked. Mines covered in what I’m only ninety percent sure is all my blood. It’s also got a bunch of rips and tears in it. Not to downplay any of your accolades here, Jordan. But you say you put blood, sweat and tears into this company, and trust me. I’m not doubting you on those last two, yeah… but out of the two of us, I think I’m the one that shed the blood for this company.
The crowd ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ at that remark from Kasey, who waves his hands around to try and get them to calm down.
Kasey Kash: Wrestlestock, I love ya, but you gotta let me finish getting my piece out first. Now look that isn’t a blight on you. It’s me making an observation. But look at you today, two time World Champion. The only two time World Champion in Zion, right? Fuck it, it sounds right in my head. But… and again, this isn’t a comment on you or your abilities, because you are one of the best in that second class, like you said… can we really call you a two time champ?
Again, the crowd ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’, but Kasey stops them.
Kasey Kash: Because… if I’m remembering this correctly, you got cashed in on by a chick who ended up not wanting to play ball, so she took her ball and… uhh… died? I guess? I mean has anyone heard from Fuckyhara lately? Wait am I even allowed to say that name on TV? Fuck it, we’ll go with it. Look, again I respect you immensely… but you gotta understand. I’m here for a reason… and that’s to etch my name into the history books as the first person to have won both major titles in Zion. Before Porter and his gang of wannabe tough guys gets a chance to fuck it all up for everyone. Cause I mean…
Kasey looks around at the crowd, asking them.
Kasey Kash: Fuck do you guys really want Zack Porter and the emo kids from South Park to be the ones with that accolade?
The crowd begins to boo in response, Jordan looks disgusted, and Kasey shrugs, putting his free hand in his pocket and walking back over to Majors.
Kasey Kash: So… here’s what's gonna happen, Jordan. Now that you’ve accepted the challenge against the best that's come outta Zion… I’m gonna make you famous. I’m gonna take you to new heights in your career in this match… and I’m gonna take… that.
Kasey taps the title over her shoulder.
Kasey Kash: Because it’s the last thing between me and really becoming immortal in this company… and if I gotta go through you to do it? Fuck it. I’ll wrestle until the sixty minute time limit they give these fucking matches if it means I get that…
Again, Kasey taps the title on her shoulder.
Kasey Kash: ...at the end of it all…
Jordan stares at the title and Kasey’s fingers. She then shrugs him away and takes a step back. She turns away and walks toward the ropes before she pulls the microphone up.
Jordan Majors: Silly analogy about t-shirts aside or whatever that was… I mean new shirts exist and I could have easily worn torn up and bloodied clothing, but we’ll let you think you were cooking on that, ok? Ok. All of that was real cute. And I’ll admit I even enjoyed it. Because I just faced someone who was a relative mute compared to this. You have no idea how happy I am to have someone standing here and fighting me on a microphone. But here’s the thing about this title. Hell, most titles in this company.
Jordan steps closer as she taps the shoulder.
Jordan Majors: I lost this title. And I did everything I could to get it back. You think you’re going to take it? I don’t think you could even beat me in 60 minutes. Because you’re the best this company has ever had, but you’ve been gone for a few months. A trend I’ve picked up on time and time again in Zion. People lose a title and they take their ball and they fucking go home. I didn’t. Not when I lost the Viral. Not when I lost this after ridding these people of the boring pain in the ass Porter as Heavyweight champ. When you lost the Undisputed title, what did you do? The same thing as the rest of them, right?
There’s some ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ and Jordan puts a hand up to stop them.
Jordan Majors: No, don’t shame him. Because I don’t mean to shame him. Just to say that I’ve been through hard shit in this company. Failure. And I stayed right here and kept fighting. So 60 minutes? Hell, I’d fight you to the death to keep this title from you. I know how much this means to your legacy, but I’m willing to go that distance to show you it means more to me. This show means more to me than it does you. This company, too. I’m not even sure you can trust that Kai Morgan would make this match for you, but know what? I’ll make sure he does. Because I want it. No, I need it. Way more than you need this title on my shoulder.
Jordan closes the distance between them back to what it was before she stepped up.
Jordan Majors: But you’re damn right I’ll be famous after this match. Famous for accepting the challenge of the great Kasey “Fuckin’” Kash. And walking out of it leaving him on his back looking up at his own failure. You knew exactly what you were doing when you challenged me because I have a reputation for not backing down from any challenge. The thing is, you just didn’t realize you were asking for a match against someone that’s even more stubborn than you are. This…
Jordan looks into Kasey’s eyes and points at the belt on her shoulder.
Jordan Majors: It ain’t going anywhere, Kase.
Kasey looks at Jordan for a moment, processing everything that’s been said, before pacing back and forth… and back and forth. Before finally responding.
Kasey Kash: Alright… okay let’s do this. You really want to sit there and tell me, to my fucking face, that the company I carried on my back before anyone of relevance showed up, when we were bleeding talent like nothing else, means less to me than it does you? Do… do you forget what I did when this company went up against NFW? I was drafted on the NFW side, and fuckin flipped. I showed my loyalty to this company. I bled buckets for this company, and I’ll gladly do it all again, at great risk to my personal health, which is why-...
Kasey goes silent for a moment, and begins pacing back and forth again. Wiping under his eye with his thumb.
Kasey Kash: Ah fuck man… yeah this is some real shit right now. It’s why I took the time off that I did, cause apparently defending my belt against anyone and everyone on each and every show I could eleven times does fucking WONDERS on your body. So much so that I started falling into my old pattern. Pain pills. Booze. Anything I could get my fucking hands on to numb the pain, Jordan. So fuckin forgive me for taking two months off to fix everything instead of getting right back on the fucking horse like you did when you lost your title that means half of what the belt you’re currently holding does.
Kasey begins to raise his voice now, growing more and more passionate in the words he’s speaking.
Kasey Kash: You wanna run down the list of shit I’ve got wrong with me right now, Jordan? Here. I’ll start with the obvious ones, so get your pen and paper ready cause I’m giving you the fucking Kasey Kash Cheat Sheet.
Kasey rolls his sleeve and shows a massive scar on his forearm.
Kasey Kash: This is from when I stapled myself together at ringside after I hit some cunt with a sunset bomb off the apron, through a glass table. I still haven’t seen the doctor about this, and if I twist it the right way here…
Kasey rotates his arm, and a hole in the scar is now visible.
Kasey Kash: You can get down to the important shit that’s supposed to be inside me.
Kasey then rolls up his shorts, showing the scars on his knee, and the knee brace.
Kasey Kash: We all know about these. Tore my ACL and MCL before I hit it big. Never got surgery on it until I needed to, before OATH. Before NFW. Before Zion. It’s why I still wear the brace, because I was a dumb kid who came back too early and fucked everything up again.
Kasey then takes his shirt off and turns around, showing Jordan and the crowd all the scars on his back and neck area.
Kasey Kash: This is all because I was a dumb cunt doing dumb cunt things. Is it sore? Fucking oath it is. Does it bleed easy? Fucking oath it does. Does it take longer to heal up afterwards because of it all? Fucking yeah it does.
Kasey turns to face Jordan once more.
Kasey Kash: So if you can sit there, and even think about telling me that you’re more stubborn than me… that you’re gonna fight me to the death over this championship… that this company means more to you, than it does to me… then I’m just gonna tell you flatout, right fucking now…
Kasey steps forward, and the pair are face to face.
Kasey Kash: That compared to me, Jordan… you… ain’t… shit. You want to stand there… and in front of all of these people you want to claim you’ll fight me to the death… when you and I both know that you will do no such fucking thing… because it means more to you?
Kasey laughs, turning his head for a second before snapping back to face Jordan.
Kasey Kash: You couldn’t be further from the truth. That…
Kasey starts slapping the title over her shoulder with an open palm.
Kasey Kash: ...can mean everything to you… but you do not understand the fucking lengths… that I am willing to put my body through… the insure that I will walk out with the World Championship… and make sure my legacy is cemented as the greatest to lace a pair of boots in Zion… because we both saw what I did in a two month span with the Undisputed Title. I defended that fucking thing nine times in the seven weeks leading up to my match with Razzles just to make sure I held both the longest reign, and the most defences record. I fought through injury… after injury… after injury to keep that belt with me… and I will walk through the gates of hell to make sure that I take that…
This time Kasey shoves the shoulder that the title is on. The crowd ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ again.
Kasey Kash: ...comes home with me.
Jordan stands there for a moment. She shakes her head and grins before she rolls her shoulder and recomposes herself. She looks at Kasey and nods as she slowly steps back in. She holds the mic from the side.
Jordan Majors: I get it, Kasey. You have scars. I have scars. I get it, you’ve been wrestling a long time. But I’m not some 19 or 20 year old that is new to the business. I’m 28 and I already have 14 years of wear and tear from this business. I did stupid shit in the ring, too. But my survival story started with my first opponent. A shitty ass mother who beat my ass for no other reason. Do I need to show the scars that SHE gave me? No. Because it doesn’t matter and frankly I know you don’t care.
Jordan shrugs her shoulders and then shakes her head as she looks into Kasey’s eyes.
Jordan Majors: Every reason I have to want to fight you and beat you is because of who you are and what you represent. We are at the core of this company and this is a fight that needs to happen. That everyone deserves to see. This is a legacy fight, right? You cementing it and me, fuck, I’m doing everything I can to build it. For everything I’ve done here in Zion, I’ve struggled to do anything right in NFW other than in that tag division. I spent too many of the younger years of my career diving onto flaming tables and being driven into tacks to waste another fucking day. We are who we are right now because of what we went through in the past. My mistakes made me stronger. This fight? It makes me better. Win or die trying. That is my mantra. I’m not afraid to die doing what I love. Either are you, right?
Jordan smiles as she looks at Kasey.
Jordan Majors: I know you and I could stand up here and just go back and forth all day if they let us. Kai would probably send the locker room out here to pry us off these microphones and we’d fight them all off just to get the last word in. That’s who we are. It’s how much we care about this.
There’s a smattering of applause from the crowd in attendance. Jordan looks around and nods before she turns her glance back to Kasey.
Jordan Majors: We don’t really know each other beyond what a mutual friend would tell us. And she’s probably about to be horrified by the lengths you and I will go to make sure we can walk out of a fight with this championship as their own. But I promise you this, Kasey. You don’t really know me. Not like you think you do. That tape you’ve watched of me? It’s deceiving. Ask everyone who’s stood where you stand right now and smirked and laughed as they told me they were just going to beat my ass and brush me aside. I’ve shocked the world and changed minds more times than I care to count. But that shit is meaningless to me. I’d fight you whether this title was involved or not. And I would beat…
Jordan takes her index finger and places it on Kasey’s chest.
Jordan Majors: You, Kasey. I would beat you. And I will. Not because I need to be more famous and not because of my legacy in this company. Hell, this industry. When we fight, I don’t want you to hold anything back. I want you to go to every length possible. I want to learn from the best what it takes to be the best. I want to beat the best. And when I do. This…
Majors raises her World Heavyweight Championship up off her shoulder and into the air.
Jordan Majors: Will stay right where it belongs.
Jordan can’t help but smirk as she extends her right hand toward Kasey while her left holds the title high. Kasey looks at her hand, then at one of the staff at ringside, before bringing the microphone to his mouth.
Kasey Kash: The only reason I’m doin this right now instead of giving you a response is cause we’re gettin screamed at by Stacy over there for running overtime. I’ll see ya next week, champion. Cause we ain’t done talking yet.
Kasey then shakes Jordans hand, before rolling out under the ring and walking back up the stage, leaving Jordan alone in the ring. Jordan holds her title up with both hands and walks to the ropes as “Warrior” plays again.
Inside the Yellow Rose Saloon, Nadia Allen has her arms crossed while seated on a stool by the bar. She's dressed in a simple black tanktop and black shorts. She sneers when she glares at the camera.
Nadia: Everything happens for a reason. ISIS, you want to talk about fate. Your life revolves around it. Fate.
Nadia scoffs.
Nadia: Fate didn't tell you and your friends to pick a fight with me and jump me after I was done with Melody. You did. Eden Sterling, you aren't some great agent of change. You're a dead woman walking. You want to talk about time and place. I have all the time in the world. You play, you pay. I'm going to gut you like a fish Eden. You hear me?
Her nostrils flare.
Nadia: ISIS, you're undefeated and you think you can mess with me. I'll get to you after Eden and I'm going to bash your skull in.
ISIS, Eden. Kaitlin Williams. I'll see you soon for that National title. Everyone is on the menu. Violent fighting to come again. Very soon.
[FIN]
MATCH #3: KIMBERLY WILLIAMS VS HANA KANEKO VS MAI BLACKMAN VS MORGANA SUMMERS
WINNER JOINS TEAM ZION AT THE FOUNDATIONS OF DECAY
The match begins as Williams unleashes her unique arsenal of submissions, including the Triangle Lancer and Figure Four Leglock, while bringing her trademark energy to the bout. Kaneko relies on her hard-hitting strikes and aerial maneuvers like the Spiral Tap and Codebreaker to keep her opponents on their toes.
Blackman uses her technical prowess to target her opponents' limbs, applying devastating submissions like the Peruvian Necktie and Rolling Kneebar. On the other hand, Summers employs a mix of power and agility, executing moves such as the Swinging Neckbreaker and Handstand Frankensteiner.
As the match reaches its climax, the action becomes frenetic. Hana Kaneko manages to catch Mai Blackman off guard, delivering a thunderous G2S and pinning her for the three-count. Simultaneously, Kimberly Williams seizes the opportunity and executes a picture-perfect pin on Morgana Summers. However, as the referee counts, confusion ensues as both Kaneko and Williams are declared winners, causing an unexpected draw.
Amber Westgate: Wha–what the hell?!
Adam LaRue: What was that?!
Amber Westgate: Can we get a replay on that, please?
A replay then plays, showing that during the double pin, neither Blackman nor Summers got their shoulder up! They truly did get pinned at the same time!
Adam LaRue: Well…shit…
Amber Westgate: What happens now?!
Adam LaRue: I’ve not a clue, Amber!
Confusion continues to descend over the ring, as Williams and Kaneko both argue over who the winner is as we fade!
RESULT: DRAW (DOUBLE PINFALL)
MATCH #4: EDEN STERLING VS JAY BRONI
Sterling hardly has any time to waste on the likes of Jay Broni, dropping him with a Big Boot right off the bell! She gets him to his feet, pulling him up before dropping him with a Powerbomb! She drops him with a second one, then a third, then a fourth! She eventually gets sick of playing with her food, pulling him into Flash Flood 3.0 (Last Chancery)! Jay Broni has no choice but to tap out here!
VB1 The winner of this match, via submission…Eden! Sterling!
Amber Westgate: Eden Sterling makes Jay Broni tap to get the dominant victory here!
Adam LaRue: Sterling has become even more vicious now that she’s ISIS’ Right Hand of Destruction!
Sterling stands tall as we fade!
RESULT: SUBMISSION (FLASH FLOOD 3.0)
LEAGUE OF COMBAT PRESENTS: EPISODE FOUR – TRAINING WHEELS
COMING SOON TO NETFLIX
MATCH #5: DARIA DORSEY VS KASEY KASH
Daria would go for an opening grapple, though, Kasey wasn't taking her trash talk lying down from the previous week. He strikes her with a kick to the abdomen, and clutches her with a front facelock, and follows up with some knees to Daria's midsection. He would go for a hangman's neckbreaker on her, but she strikes him in the back of the head with an elbow strike. Daria would hook Kasey in his gages, as she transitioned into a Cobra Clutch Sleeper hold to try an early submission on him. She gets Kasey down to the mat, looking to continue the hold, but Kasey gets his foot on the bottom rope. Daria continued to hold the choke on him, refusing to break it, as the ref counted. Thinking quickly, Kasey would get on the bottom turnbuckle, and used some momentum moving up them to launch himself over with a pinning predicament.
Daria kicked out of the tricky maneuver, surprised by Kasey's ability to adapt so quickly. Kasey would go for a pump kick on Daria, but she catches his foot and tossed him over with an Overhead Leg Trap Capture Suplex to counter. With the big move, Daria has momentum, as she goes for some targeted Garvin Stomps to his elbows and knees to wear Kasey down, and goes for a Bow & Arrow stretch on him, placing her knees in the middle of his back and stretching him. She worked his back and legs, but Kasey managed to slither his way out of the hold, much to Daria's dismay.
Annoyed, Daria would grab Kasey by his hair, and pull him up for a front headlock. She attempted a vertical suplex, but it reversed into a Stundog Millionaire! Daria would stumble back to the corner, slumping back against it. Retaliating, he would hit Daria with a series of forearms and chops, before she falls down and is then hit with a running boot, and a cover.
No! Daria would kick out, as Kasey looked disappointed. Looking to finish things off, he sets up for Going the Distance, as he sprinted at Daria, who reacted with a snap powerslam. She goes for a pin attempt.
Kasey kicked out, as Daria was looking annoyed. She would get up, and started yelling at the referee, clapping her hands thrice, saying he was pinned. The argument goes back and forth, as Kasey recovers. He rushed in for a pump kick, but Daria side stepped as Kasey leveled the ref accidently with the strike. He would look over, before Daria would clip him in the back of the knee with a chop block.
She would relish in the boos from the crowd, before going out of the ring to get Kasey's legs and pull him to the corner post. She hopped up, to apply a figure 4 around the post, causing Kasey immense pain, as he cried out in pain. She kept the hold applied, looking to damage him irreversibly with the submission, until Jessi Ozborne laid into Daria with a running punt to the side of her head, which caused her to let go. Jessi would deliver numerous blows to Daria after mounting her. She was furious with her antics, and Jessi would roll Daria back into the ring and slip through the crowd afterward. Our official began to come to his senses, as Kasey was wobbling a bit, before he used the very thematic Death of the Phoenix to the former Firebird, as he hooked the leg, getting the three count!
Darrion Hughes: The winner of this match…Kasey! Fucking! Kash!
Amber Westgate: Daria Dorsey tried to spoil Kasey Kash’s return match through nefarious means! But thanks to Kash’s protege, Jessi Ozborne, he can now hold his head up high, knowing that he’s back!
Adam LaRue: It’s clear to see that things between Daria Dorsey and Jessi Ozborne aren’t quite over yet! But for now, all these fans seem to care about is celebrating Kasey Kash’s return victory!
Kash celebrates as we fade!
RESULT: PINFALL (DEATH OF A PHOENIX)
The sisters are in a trailer just finishing getting ready as EJ is standing outside with her arms crossed. She sees the cameraman coming up as she bangs on the door. The two sisters look out seeing him approaching. They finish their strategy then come out. Kaya comes out first, followed by Lilith.
"The Poison Rose" Kaya Parker: Tonight, here at WrestleStock, we take on Code Black. It's our first time facing them and just going to be another team to be added to our victims list. Sure silence had been golden but now we're back and yeah no longer will the fans have to wait to see and hear from their favorite team.
Kaya steps back behind EJ as Lilith then turns to the camera looking disappointed at him.
Lilith Parker: Tonight the deep consumes two more victims and we can not be held responsible for what happens. Code Black, you two have been champions before but tonight you get added to the deep and then you will swim forevermore in the abyss.
Kaya steps out from behind EJ smiling softly as she whispers.
"The Poison Rose" Kaya Parker: Dracarys.
She then sees the two roses burst into flames as she hands them to the cameraman; she and Lilith then walk away as he dumps them into water.
Amber Westgate: Huge words spoken by the Tag Team Champions! We’re moments away from our main event here tonight but before that, we got some huge news for next week! After a confusing ending to the Team Zion qualifying match tonight, Nova Juaquin has come to a decision! Both Kimberly Williams AND Hana Kaneko will both be added to Team Zion at The Foundations of Decay! But that’s not all, because just like Mark Storm and Zachary Porter must do next week on Mayhem, Kimberly Williams and Hana Kaneko will have to do the same next week on Fusion! They’ll team up with other Team Zion member Blaze Darling to take on Las Olividadas in Trios action!
Adam LaRue: After what transpired during our opening match tonight, Nova Juaquin has made the rematch official for next week! Erika Crawford will be taking on Maki Megumi, with ISIS and Eden Sterling no doubt looming in the background!
Amber Westgate: After her victory this week during our WrestleStock festivities, we have a huge Main Event Match set for next week, as Nadia Allen challenges the newly crowned National Champion, Kailtin Williams!
Adam LaRue: And in some breaking news, we have a huge closer to next week’s show coming! Nova Juaquin has signed off on it, next week Kasey Kash and Jordan Majors will have as much time as they need to trade barbs ahead of their World Championship Match at The Foundations of Decay!
