Zion Wrestling Presents...Destiny III!

[Kai Morgan]

AND NOW…ZION WRESTLING PRESENTS…THE DESTINY III KICK-OFF!

We cut to a sweeping shot of the Cotton Bowl stadium, where we see people filing into the stands! The huge stage is set, with the Dallas sun high as ever over the outdoor arena! We cut to the ringside area, where we see Amber Westgate and Adam LaRue standing by the ring!

Amber Westgate: We are just moments away from the biggest night of the year, but before we get to that, we of course have to start from the beginning! Welcome to the Destiny III Kick-Off Show!

Adam LaRue: Amber, Cotton Bowl Stadium isn’t even packed yet and this crowd is still electric! If this is an indication of what Dallas is gonna be like tonight, then we are in for a hell of a time!

Amber Westgate: We have a big match coming down the way for you soon, but first let’s head to one of the participants in that match!



We open in what appears to be a classic, traditional classroom setting with small seats and tables for children and an old school chalkboard at the front. There is a brown oak desk at the front, presumably for the teacher, with an apple resting on top. Next to the apple is the beloved stuffed penguin known to one and all as Wasley. A few moments later the door is heard slamming shut in the background. Then we spot Kimberly Williams entering the scene from the right. The Queen of the Death Match is wearing a plaid knee length skirt, black high heeled boots, and a purple gothic style silk blouse. She has her SCW Underground Championship and HKW Bloodlust Championship title belts with her, one over each shoulder. She drops them on the table next to Wasley.

Kimberly Williams: Hello class! And welcome to chaos 101!

She snickers nastily. Then she points at the camera.

Kimberly Williams: I really hope you are paying very close attention to this lesson, Disciplinarian, because this is especially for you! See, buddy, you don’t know anything about me. You don’t know a damn thing about me. If you did, you wouldn’t have stuck your nose in my business backstage. If you knew anything about me, you wouldn’t have gotten involved in my match against Nova. I’m not that bad of a person when you get to know me. I am not a rebel rouser or a trouble maker. I just want to be left alone to relish in my beautifully, glorious chaos! It’s what I do best, it’s what my fans love, it’s what I love and what keeps bringing me back to the death match world week in and week out despite all the blood loss, the scars, and the mutilation! When people leave me alone to do my thing, I leave them alone and I do not cause them any problems. But when people DO decide to get involved in my business, when people DO think that they can screw with me, they find out the hard way that chaos, like karma, can be a bitch.

Let me educate you, buddy. In one promotion, the GM named Shaun Cruiserweight thought he could throw his weight around as an authority figure and keep me down. I drove him so batshit crazy he quit. Later in that same promotion, a guy named James Evans thought he could force feed his non-violent bullshit down my throat. I drove an explosive into his eye. Then here in Zion, Kelsey thought she could get cute and take my property and rename it the Cutecore Title. I maimed her ass and now she won’t show her face anywhere near me ever again.

Williams points a finger at the camera.

Kimberly Williams: And now YOU think you can create a safe space by getting involved in my business? No, no, no! You create a safe space by staying OUT of my business. By sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, you have just made yourself a target for the craziest, most psychotic bitch in the world today. You want to play games with me, Disciplinarian? I love playing games and the games we’ll play tonight will be fun! Well…fun for me, at least. I imagine it won’t be very fun for a little creep like you. Because let’s face facts, you are not ready for the violence and the brutality that I am about to unleash upon you. Hell, you have no idea of the world you are about to step foot into, do you?

The Woman Scorned laughs maniacally.

Kimberly Williams: The good news is that I am here to educate you! I am here to educate you in all things chaos! See, Disciplinarian, you have your rules and you think that they make things fair. But your little rules are bent or outright broken all the time. People take advantage of loopholes in the rules in order to selfishly advance their own careers. But chaos isn’t like that. Chaos is fair to everyone. When you eliminate the rules, when you eliminate the boundaries, you level the playing field. You make things truly fair. When you introduce chaos, idiots like you are unable to twist the rules to your advantage. Under chaos, you have to fight and survive…this isn’t about whining to whatever authority figure is willing to listen to your drivel in hopes that they’ll give you what you want just to shut you up. That’s what you do, buddy. I don’t complain. I don’t make excuses. When someone knocks me down I just get back up, find who knocked me down, and I stab the ever living fuck out of them.

Tonight you are going to enter MY world and I will educate you in the art of chaos. These lessons will be hard lessons but you will learn them. Whether or not you survive is not my concern. I intend to beat some respect for chaos into you. And then when I’m done playing with my food, I will beat you and the Zion Hardcore Championship will be reinstated and it will be mine! Mine! ALL MINE!

Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is an Anything Goes Match!

The lights go out, except for a single spotlight at the top of the stage. The opening chords to “Patient Number 9” by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play. A haunting voice is heard…

"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"

Darrion Hughes: Introducing first…weighing in at 120 pounds, she is from Boston, Massachusetts…

The song begins to rage full bore now. Suddenly the lights come back on and Kimberly Williams is standing at the top of the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it. She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Kimberly then poses in the center of the ring to another loud reaction from the fans. The music slowly dies down and Kimberly goes to a corner to await the start of the match.

Darrion Hughes: Representing the Queens of Chaos, she is…KIMBERLY WILLIAMS!!



Under the sound of blaring sirens and horns, The Disciplinarian steps out of the curtain wearing a basic black sweatsuit! He paces down to the ring, shadow boxing all the way with zero form to his punches, making it seem as though he has no idea what he’s doing at all, because clearly…he doesn’t.

Darrion Hughes: And her opponent…he is the Head of Zion Wrestling Human Resources…The Disciplinarian!

He makes his way to the ring, sliding in and doing jumping jacks as…I guess would call it music?...fades.



The bell sounded, and the Disciplinarian immediately dropped to the mat and rolled out of the ring, looking under it for whatever weapons he could find. He began pulling a kendo stick, a steel chair, and even a trash can, among other things, from under the ring. Williams stood there watching him with a smirk on her face, welcoming the early addition of the weapons into the match. Without paying much attention to Williams, he slid the chair into the ring and grabbed the kendo stick before rolling back into the ring. What he wasn’t expecting was to be met with a sudden German suplex that sent the kendo stick flying from his hand and his body to fly across the ring!

Crowd: KICK HIS ASS! KICK HIS ASS! KICK HIS ASS!

Williams let out a laugh as she watched the man grip his back after landing on the mat, the impact jarring him for a few moments. She made her way over to him and began pulling him to his feet. Once he was up, she executed a beautiful German suplex into the turnbuckle, leaving the man rolling around on the mat for a few seconds. She walked over to the kendo stick and grabbed it, a little twinkle in her eyes as she made her way over towards The Disciplinarian. She brought the kendo over her head then down sharply across his back not once, not twice, but three times! Each strike was sharper than the previous one, causing the man to groan in pain.

Adam LaRue: Williams has dominated this entire match. The Disciplinarian has tried, and tried to get a shot in, but this has not gone in his favor so far.

Amber Westgate: You think he regrets his decision yet?

Williams raised the kendo stick a fourth time, but as she brought it down, The Disciplinarian managed to roll away at the very last possible second, saving himself the pain of another shot. He managed to get back to his feet again, albeit wobbly as he did so. It was clear that the match had easily become more than he had bargained for. He looked around on the ring floor for a second before spotting a steel chair and leaning down to pick it up. He quickly got it raised in his hands and turned towards Williams to clock her with it only to be met with Morrigan’s Wrath right into the chair!

Crowd: FINISH HIM! FINISH HIM! FINISH HIM!

The steel bounced back in his hands and against his face from the force of the superkick. He immediately dropped the chair and gripped his face where the cold steel had connected, turning away from Williams in the process. She looked over to the corner where the stuffing replaced with lead weights Wasley sat, and a grin came to the woman’s face as she made her way to the corner. Grabbing the penguin, she swiftly made her way back towards The Disciplinarian, waiting for him to turn back around. As he did, she quickly swung Wasley, connecting against his face viciously. He dropped to the mat, and Williams dropped Wasley before going for the pin.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE!!



Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner by pinfall…KIMBERLY WILLIAMS!!!

Amber Westgate: Kimberly Williams takes the win in dominant fashion and now hardcore is back in Zion Wrestling!

Adam LaRue: All of Kim’s deathmatch nonsense was a headache to deal with when it was unsanctioned! This just opened a whole new can of worms on Zion Wrestling!

Williams holds her title high as we fade!

WINNER: KIMBERLY WILLIAMS
RESULT: PINFALL (SHE FINISHED HIM)

[Kai Morgan]

AND NOW…ZION WRESTLING PRESENTS…DESTINY III!



We cut to a drone shot panning into Cotton Bowl Stadium as pyro begins to go off not just over the stage, but along the walls of the huge venue! All the screens of the stage light up, with a huge crowd taking up most of the noise as we pan across the nearly sold out stadium 80,000+ strong! We go down to the announce table, where we see Amber Westgate and Adam LaRue sitting behind it!

Amber Westgate: The biggest show in the year just got even bigger, and it’s all thanks in part to the Lone Star State! Welcome everyone…to Destiny III! I’m Amber Westgate, joined as always by my broadcast partner, Adam LaRue!

Adam LaRue: Amber, I’ve gotta admit that seeing this mass of humanity has almost got me choked up! But I’m gonna soldier on, because we promised you a huge two nights of wrestling, and we’re only just getting started!



The scene starts with Valentina Skye sitting in a familiar area. It’s the old Trinity thornes that she would sit in when they would talk about anything that was on their mind. Though, it’s only Valentina Skye that’s sitting in the sole throne. She has her ring gear on as we see her rubbing her hands, thinking of what is about to happen.

Valentina Skye: Three years ago….

She freezes in her tracks.

Valentina Skye: I debuted in this company and the one thing that was on my mind was become top of the World in this place, but it seems like Zion Management and the rosters whether it was Fusion, Wasteland or Mayhem did NOT want to see anyone like me, succeed like they’ve done.

She shakes her head.

Valentina Skye: After being on the side, and watching an empire waste away, it was time for me to make my move. That’s why at the beginning of the year, I made it my mission and that mission was to prove everyone WRONG. So what did I do first? I eliminated fan favorite Zara Ivory LIKED I said I was going to do.

You can tell there’s fire in her eyes.

Valentina Skye: I was making myself known, ESPECIALLY for the National Championship, but in this case? It looked like a conspiracy was going on to prevent me from winning this championship!

She rolls her eyes.

Valentina Skye: For WEEKS, I have proved that Xaiver and Nao were on CAHOOTS and then to find out that the odds are going to be stacked when two sisters are going against each other! What more does this company have to do to PREVENT ME from winning gold?

She eyes the camera.

Valentina Skye: From Day ONE since I’ve been here, this place has plotted against me, you have made a fool out of me, and most importantly, when my voice was heard when Tessa Whitmoyer was BULLYING, YOU GUYS DID NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!

She rolls her eyes.

Valentina Skye: Or what about the time Aubrianna and I were going to bring the ratings on the Mayhem brand because it was a all Trinity main event, and had someone interfere, you had ME pushed to the side like I was a piece of trash and when I wanted to be on the card, it FELL ON DEAF EARS!

She stands up and kicks the throne.

Valentina Skye: You would rather have Nao and Xavier on the show and have the fans go crazy for them, you would rather see sisters fight and have the fans get into that, but when it comes to me, it’s NOTHING but crickets.

She stops right there.

Valentina Skye: And tonight, two things are going to happen. The first being, WHEN I win this championship, I deserve ALL of you in management to apologize to me for putting me on the back burner, doubting me and most importantly, making me look like a joke when I win the championship because if not, this is where the second request comes in..

She eyes the camera.

Valentina Skye: If I lose, I want my contract in the ring so I can RIP it up! There are other companies that would LOVE to have me and show me the RESPECT that I deserve! I am not going to head into another season where I am not APPRECIATED! They say Destiny is controlled, where I have mine set out, and that’s WINNING the National Championship ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Valentina walks to head to her match as she’s ready for a fight.



Nao Saegusa: “139 days.”

Those words bring us in to see the National Champion, Nao Saegusa. She’s dressed in her normal ring gear, the championship around her waist, one hand draped on it, lightly tapping the faceplate.

Nao Saegusa: “That’s how many days it’s been since War Games 2023. Since I managed to beat Kaitlin Williams and get the honor of holding the National Championship. Since then I haven’t been shy about my intentions with this belt. This championship, that I fought and struggled so long to reach, deserves only the best. It’s had some of the strongest, finest champions in this company’s history, and I want to do the same. I want to do more. I want to make this championship the one you tune in to see, the one where a Fusion announces a defense for it and it becomes a must-see show based just on that. I’ve done my best so far. I’m a little under a month from becoming the longest reigning, I’m close to matching the defense record. I’ve main evented two Fusions with this belt on the line. I’ve welcomed any challenge and brought a fight deserving of this belt to anyone that’s come up to me, defense or not. But I haven’t been perfect.”

She frowns deeply, looking quite annoyed.

Nao Saegusa: “This thing with Valentina should have been put to bed before any of this could have happened. I can talk all I want about how she proves me right with her actions, but it doesn’t change that they’ve allowed her to still be able to wriggle her way in again and again. She makes demands that she shouldn’t, that get her what she wants anyway. If there wasn’t any wriggle room maybe she wouldn’t have. Now this has all ballooned. Xavier was one thing, he was at least trying to help at first, but now there’s…the others.”

A rare scowl strikes across her features.

Nao Saegusa: “Sofia Hilton has no place here. Her only achievement is attacking her own sister, and what does her disgusting actions get her? A place in this match between people already dealing with each other. She cheated to beat Xavier a few weeks back AFTER her and her sister were already added, so what? If she won it fairly, maybe, but I don’t feel like people like her should be rewarded for doing the wrong thing. She has no place here. I feel for her sister, but she deserves the opportunity to settle things with her sister one on one, not having to worry about three other people. It’s ridiculous.”

She shakes her head, the scowl fading to…acceptance.

Nao Saegusa: “But, if I had put everything with Valentina to bed before any of this could happen, this match wouldn’t be happening like this. As the champion, I should have done more to ensure this belt wouldn’t get involved in nonsense like this. This championship isn’t a prop for other people’s battles, or to be used to cover up their constantly wounded ego. This is a championship with a long history that deserves to be treated as the prize it is. It deserves to be held by someone that will treat it that way, that will do all they can to ensure it shines greater and greater. And right now, I don’t even know if I’ve shown myself to be that person lately. I should’ve put this to bed earlier. I shouldn’t have let the belt be turned into a prize for people that aren’t even involved in this. As the champion, it falls on my head. I accept that. Tonight is about fixing my mistakes.”

She looks down at the belt, reflecting.

Nao Saegusa: “A match with so many other people, with a match like this, there’s so many ways to lose without me even noticing. The odds are stacked against me.”

And then she looks up, and a familiar fire of determination is burning in those eyes.

Nao Saegusa: “But a Hero fights no matter the odds. I faced impossible odds at the last Destiny too, when I had to win a 2 out of 3 falls match against QUEEN Sakamoto…and I did! And I know deep down that I am still the right person for the National Championship, that right now the person who can best keep making it better and better is me. Right now I can’t be convinced that anyone else in this match has even a thought about this championship, just on what they think they deserve or on revenge against those that have wronged them. And I’m the one who gave them the avenue to be here, to try and get this championship solely as a bonus to what their actual goals are. I have to fix my mistakes and get back to what matters: making the National Championship the best championship in Zion.”

She points a finger forward, straight towards the other four in the Sovereign of the Mat match.

Nao Saegusa: “That is a job for a Hero. And I am a Hero.”

Her hand drops and she takes a step forward, not wavering.

Nao Saegusa: “And tonight I’ll show that, no matter the incoherent yelling or attacks, no matter what those who think they can find an easy way to what they want…a Hero will rise up past all of that, and keep shining. As this belt deserves.”

With that she gives a single resolute nod, and walks off towards her latest Destiny.

Darrion Hughes: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is our opening contest of the evening and it is the Sovereign of the Frontier match!



Darrion Hughes: Introducing already in the ring! Ravenna “Cuervo” Rojas and “The Scion” Xavier Amari!

Ava of Death by Eleine kicks in as the fans are booing. A Gold shining light comes in the middle as we see Valentina Skye, dressed in a crown and a cape, signally royalty. Valentina walks to the ring and calls the people "peasants" as she walks by. Valentina gets on the apron and tells the referee to open the ring rope. She gets in, stands in the middle and says, Bend The Knee!

Darrion Hughes: Introducing next!! Hailing from Los Angeles, California! At five feet, seven inches tall, weighing in at 128 pounds! She is Valentina Skye!

Unforgettable (Latin Mix) by French Montana begins to blast across the speakers. As it does Sofia makes her way through the curtains to the loud sounds of boos. She isn't alone as her husband Brayden walks out as well. Brayden is waving a Columbian flag proudly for his wife as she begins to twerk and dance to the music.

Sofia stops in the aisle and continues to shake her ass before she runs her hands through her hair and winks at the camera. She receives cat calls from the crowd but she blows them off walking her way to the ring. Brayden however does a marathon around the ring waving that Columbia flag as if he won the Olympics for that country. Sofia slowly enters the ring cracking a wicked grin as she waits patiently for the match to start. Brayden stands at ringside waiting for an opportunity to get on with the match.

Darrion Hughes: Introducing next! Hailing from Bogota, Colombia but residing in Detroit, Michigan! At five feet, four inches tall, weighing in at 120 pounds! She is “La Coneja” Sofia Hilton!

The lights dim down a good bit as a glitchy melodic sound plays, and a voice speaks out.

"I gotta believe..."

This begins "EXCITE" by Daichi Miura and the lights brighten a bit to let people see the figure of Nao Saegusa on the stage, eagerly shifting her weight from foot to foot in anticipation. The hero of the hour starts to make her way down as the song continues, clearly vibing along with it as she moves her head to the song and sings along, making sure to slap each and every hand offered. She hops up onto the apron and braces herself, waiting.

"I gotta believe!
Turn it on!"

The announcement of her name coincides with the song going into full gear, Nao hopping up onto the second rope and using that to propel herself into the ring, landing right in the center of the ring with a flourish as she strikes a pose, one fist clutched to her chest with the other thrust into the sky! The lights turn up fully and pulse in time with each "Excite!" uttered by the song, while Saegusa keeps her pose, slowly bending her elbow down to lower her fist until it was in front of her as she struck a ready to fight pose, giving a grin and a wink to the camera before finally going to her corner.

Darrion Hughes: Introducing the final competitor! Saitama, Saitama, Japan! At five feet, six inches tall, weighing in at 117 pounds! She is the Zion Wrestling National Champion, Nao Saegusa!

Adam LaRue: The National Championship of Zion Wrestling is on the line! The Sovereign of the Frontier match may be one of the most unique matches in professional wrestling history. Each competitor in this match must be ready to perform at their highest level and be aware of their surroundings at all time!

Amber Westgate: Especially the National Champion, Nao Saegusa! She’s the defending champion in all this madness which means she could be the biggest target of the match! However, Destiny III is about to start now with our National Championship on the line!



All five competitors are in their designated spots once the referee has called for the bell. The audience of Dallas, Texas, are cheering for the opening match as each wrestler in the ring is studying their opponents every move. To no one’s surprise, Valentina leaves the ring and struts at ringside telling everyone she’s not harming her pretty face. She find a seat next to the Fusion commentary section and the person offended by this action is Nao Saegusa who gets struck from behind from Ravenna Rojas! In the other corner is Xavier Amari and Sofia Hilton brawling it out as well!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Adam LaRue: Many people don’t approve of Valentina’s antics but it’s smart! Why waste your energy in a multi-man match when you can bide your time?!

Ravenna continues the sequence of Clubbing Blows down on the champion’s spine until Nao ducks under Ravenna’s thrown right arm to stand behind her and when she turns around, Ravenna eats a Leaping Enzuigiri Kick to the skull! Rojas falls through the ropes to the outside mat!

Amber Westgate: Enzuigiri Kick from our champion!

The opposing corner has Xavier Amari and Sofia Hilton brawling at each other like wildfire. Sofia lands an Elbow Blow into her opponent’s head and steps out of the corner to pose in front of the audience who doesn’t appreciate the showboating. However, she turns around and Sofia gets caught in between Xavier’s leg from the Running Hurricanrana flipping her down to the canvas! She rolls to the outside mat and the only two competitors in the ring are Nao and Xavier staring each other down until looking up at the hook dangling back and forth over them.

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Adam LaRue: Xavier Amari just clocked Sofia Hilton with the Running Hurricanrana! Now he stands in front of the champion and in order to be qualified to climb the ladder, you must score a pin fall. Could Xavier get one over the champion?

Xavier first off with a Forearm Blow then Nao returns a Roundhouse Kick to the leg. Xavier lands another Forearm Blow but the champion responds with a Leg Kick again. Xavier leaps upwards attempting for a Spinning Heel Kick but Nao ducks under the leg and leaps upwards with a Dropkick that pushes Amari out through the ropes to the ringside mat joining all four competitors!

Amber Westgate: Dropkick from our National Champion! She sees the opportunity and she’s preparing!

Nao Saegusa leaves the ring to the apron and stands tall holding the top rope with both hands with back facing her opponents on the outside. The rest of the competitors are rising to their feet collectively and Nao jumps on the top rope before leaping backwards high in the air for the Moonsault Plancha crashing her weight onto everyone creating a wrecking scene at ringside!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY! HOLY SHIT!

Adam LaRue: The Take Me Higher Moonsault Plancha! Nao Saegusa just cleared everyone outside except for Valentina Skye who is getting up?

Valentina sees the golden opportunity and stands up from her seat to approach Nao. She stands up, taking Nao by the hair then helping her to stand until launching her into the steel steps. The champion’s body collides into the structure and falls down to the ringside mat but Valentina struts around flipping her hair off to the fans behind the barricades.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Amber Westgate: Valentina Skye won’t be shown up, she always gets the last laugh.

Valentina walks over to Nao trying to recover and violently throws her into the ring. She rolls under the ropes and slowly gets up taking her time to enjoy her work. She stomps down on Nao’s body before helping her up to her feet only to slam her face down on the canvas. To make it worse, she places her foot on the back of the champion’s head to rub her face in the canvas and Nao screams.

Adam LaRue: Valentina Skye has brought this side of her to Destiny III. The biggest stage where all the eyes are on you so yes Amber, Valentina is bringing out all the big bucks!

The audience continues to boo Valentina Skye but she only enjoys the attention. She reaches down to grab Nao’s hair but the champion pulls her down into a Small Package pin with the referee dropping down to count the pin!

ONE...!

TWO...!

THREE!!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nao rolls from the successful pin and sits down in a corner creating distance from the two. Valentina, on the other hand, slaps the canvas repeatedly out of frustration but the referee orders her to get inside the cage.

Darrion Hughes: Nao Saegusa has pinned Valentina Skye making her eligible to climb the ladder and hang the National Championship! Valentina Skye has been penalized inside the cage for two minutes!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Amber Westgate: You take a risk and it can backfire! Valentina Skye didn’t expect the champion to be quick on her feet and now she has two minutes inside the cage and it will be the longest two minutes of her life!

Valentina steps inside the blue and white decorated cage and the referee closes the door on her begging for it to be shut. She yells she’s claustrophobic but Nao leaves the ring to look under it for a ladder. The audience applauds seeing her get the ladder and she tries her best to put on the apron but the moment she does, Sofia Hilton gets into the ring and runs across for a Basement Dropkick pushing the ladder into Nao!
‘
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Adam LaRue: Sofia Hilton just rearranged the champion’s face with that Dropkick into the ladder!

Sofia quickly rolls out of the ring to shove the champion back inside. She looks off to the ladder outside the ring and sets it up to provide a walkway between the barricade and the apron. In the meantime, Sofia rolls back into the ring and stalks the champion who is back on her feet then charges into her for a Running Huricanranna!

Amber Westgate: Hurricanrana!

Nao falls down into the corner and sits down to lean back against the turnbuckles. Sofia charges into the ropes and rebounds with enough speed to land the Seated Corner Dropkick!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Adam LaRue: Seated Corner Dropkick but here comes Xavier!

Xavier is back inside the ring and turns Sofia to land a brutal kick into her ribs that keeps her bent forward. Xavier grabs onto her attempting to throw her out of the ring but she spins around tossing him over the top rope to the outside. However, she turns around into Ravenna getting into the ring and catching her with a Running Knee Strike knocking her down on the canvas!

Amber Westgate: Ravenna Rojas is back and she’s on a warpath!

Rojas grabs onto Sofia and helps her up. A couple of punches into the head makes her opponent take a few steps back then she attempts to go for an Irish Whip but Sofia spins around throwing her to the ropes instead. Upon the rebound, the rookie ducks under a thrown arm then comes back landing a Falling Neckbreaker putting Sofia down on the mat!

Adam LaRue: Falling Neckbreaker from the rookie!

Ravenna stands back on her feet proud of her performance. She feels a tap on her shoulder and turns around to Nao holding her hand out for a high five. Ravenna slaps her instead!


Amber Westgate: And big mistake by the rookie…

Nao returns with a flurry of kicks Ravenna wasn’t prepared for. Unfortunately for Ravenna, the champion lands a Roundhouse Kick that clocks her hard enough to turn around thus making the champion leap off the mat to drive her head down with a Reverse Frankensteiner!

Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Amber Westgate: Reverse Frankensteiner from our National Champion! She nearly destroyed her neck!

Valentina is awaiting to be let out as the clock gets near. On the other hand, Nao continues to fight with work on Sofia the moment Ravenna rolls out of the ring. Xavier walks down over to Ravenna and stomps down her body before helping her back up to her feet. He holds onto her right arm and launches her into the barricade where her back slams against the structure!

Adam LaRue: Xavier and Ravenna are going to cause mayhem!

Ravenna holds onto the barricade to help herself up but Xavier comes running into her but she moves out of the way letting him collapse into the barricade. She managed to grab a steel chair near her and slap it across his back! He walks a little to get away from her but she slams the steel chair across his back again causing him to fall across the ladder!

Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Amber Westgate: The steel chair just almost destroyed his spine! Ravenna may be a rookie but she’s got heart and willpower!

Ravenna stares at Amari resting on the ladder and Valentina yells from the cage for her to put him out of his misery. The audience demands for blood and Ravenna climbs up to the apron then to the top rope positioning herself until looking at the cage next to the ring. Instead, she climbs up on the cage and stands tall looking at Xavier on the ladder.

Adam LaRue: Wait! Ravenna! I know you want to prove yourself but think about what you’re doing! This could end your career before it starts!

She takes in a deep breath then jumps off the top of the cage causing her body to crash on top of Xavier’s breaking the ladder in half as both competitors go through it! Dallas explodes in full support of the action as Raven and Xavier are lying down on the ringside mat in complete agony!

Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Amber Westgate: RAVENNA ROJAS JUST PUT XAVIER AMARI THROUGH THE LADDER!!!

Both competitors are lying down on the ringside mat in complete agony. A couple referees come to the two to check on their physical condition. However, Valentina Skye has been cleared for competition and runs out of the cage to push the other referees out the way as she makes the pin on Xavier Amari!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Adam LaRue: Valentina Skye has been let out and she’s going for the pin!

ONE...!

TWO...!

THREE!!

Valentina sits up from the pin and claps her hands for her own self-applause.

Darrion Hughes: Valentina Skye has pinned Xavier Amari making her eligible to climb the ladder and hang the National Championship! Xavier Adamdor has been penalized for two minutes!

Adam LaRue: She may be the smartest woman in that match! Valentina knew Ravenna was in a precarious position and goaded her to make that leap off the cage just in time for her to get out! Excellent thinking by the champion but it seems someone else has that in mind!

Sofia manages to duck under a Clothesline after rebounding from the ropes to land a Baseball Slide Hurricanrana! into Valentina who barely stands up. Skye falls down into the barricade and Sofia leaves the ring to pin Ravenna down on the ringside mat!

Amber Westgate: Wait, what the hell?!

ONE...!

TWO...!

THREE!!

Sofia slowly stands up from the pin and mouths off to the fans at ringside. Valentina removes herself from the barricade and gets into the face of Sofia then the two begin to argue!

Darrion Hughes: Sofia Hilton has pinned Ravenna Rojas making her eligible to climb the ladder and hang the National Championship! Ravennas Rojas has been penalized for two minutes!

Sofia and Valentina continue to get in each other’s faces until Sofia slaps Valentina in the face. Valentina screams and charges into her for a good old fashioned brawl until the champion dives through the ropes and crashes onto both women for the Suicide Dive! Nao stands on her feet, slaps the hands of a few fans then marches to the timekeeper’s area for her championship belt!

Adam LaRue: Sofia Hilton pulled off the heist against Valentina taking a page out of her book! Three competitors are eligible to hang the National Championship to win but the other two are stuck inside the cage!

Nao grabs the championship belt and throws it inside the ring. She barely manages to push the ladder outside into the ring and follow afterwards. With no time to lose, she sets up the ladder to stand directly underneath the hook, grabs the championship belt and begins to climb with Dallas off their seats to watch her retain.

Amber Westgate: Nao Saegusa is in the perfect position to grab the belt and hang it up! Valentina Skye and Sofia Hilton are outside- WAIT!

Sofia Hilton quickly slides into the ring and grabs onto the foot of the champion who kicks her away. Luckily, the champion gets higher out of Sofia's reach so Sofia runs to the other side of the ladder to start climbing. Both women are almost on the top rung and when they do, they start trading blows back and forth.

Amber Westgate: Sofia Hilton and Nao Saegusa are fighting at the top of the ladder for the National Championship!

Sofia lands a Forearm Blow and Nao returns with one of her own. The two are trading blows back and forth still until Sofia headbutts her causing Nao to nearly topple over. However, Nao realizes she’s holding the championship belt and whacks it in the face of Sofia Hilton who falls off the ladder all the way to the canvas!

Adam LaRue: HOLY SHIT! NAO JUST NEARLY BROKE HER FACE WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT AND PUSHED SOFIA HILTON OFF THE LADDER!

Amber Westgate: THE NATIONAL CHAMPION IS GOING TO RETAIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Nao stands on the top rung and takes a moment to gather herself. She reaches up for the hook and grab it to hook the championship belt until the ladder gets pushed over causing Nao to fall from the top and land directly on top of the cage outside the ring before rolling off to the ringside mat. Standing inside the ring fixing the ladder is Valentina Skye!

Adam LaRue: YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU CHEATING SON OF A BITCH!

Amber Westgate: VALENTINA SKYE JUST THREW NAO SEGUSI OFF THE LADDER!!! SHE’S CLIMBING THE LADDER WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN HER POSSESSION!

Valentina climbs the ladder with the championship belt and the moment she reaches the top of the ladder, she hangs the championship belt on the hook and then raises her arms in the air securing the victory!



Darrion Hughes: Here is your winner and the NNNNNNEEEEEEWWWWWW Zion Wrestling National Champion, Valentina Skye!!!

Amber Westgate: Well…she finally got what she wanted! Maybe she can shut up about it now!

Adam LaRue: I doubt that’s gonna be the case, Amber! We should know this by now! But hell, it’s a start, and we’ve got a new champion to start off tonight!

With Valentina holding the title to her chest, freshly from pulling the belt back down, there is a wave of excitement in the crowd as her music starts playing.

After a few moments though, the music starts to mess up, the lights flickering around the arena in random segments. Large segments turning off, plunging the crowd into darkness before coming back on. The only lights not affected are the lights right over the ring. A spotlight on the competitors.

The lights then shut completely off in the arena.

Backstage

Production Crew Member: Shit. We lost all control this time.

Kai Morgan: What the hell is happening out there?

Production Crew Member: Same thing that’s been happening for a while. Someone’s hacking the show.

Kai Morgan: Someone’s hackin…

There was a brief pause before Kai sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Kai Morgan: Bitch. I told her to wait till the draft. Do you have anything on the screen?

Production Crew Member: Just one thing…



Back out in the arena, the lights and audio burst to life.



The first few notes blast out on repeat as the lights shoot across the arena, waving as if looking for someone before angling up to the top of the center fixture of the Cotton Bowl Stadium high above the entryway. From the ring a small figure could be seen in the lights. A drone camera racing up to bring the person onto the screen. A Destiny III T-shirt and long red hair could be made out as their back was facing the ring. After stretching out their arms in a t-pose. The music strikes up with do do do dodo do do do do do dodo do do do. The figure falls back, plummeting towards teh top of the screen as the spot lights cut out. The screen shows a sort of magical girl transformation in time with the song’s long scream. Energy moving across the silhouette creating red and white gloves, a sleeveless hooded trench coat, matching pants and top, and a blood red mask.

That very same figure would drop from the underside of the screen onto the stage, magical girl transformation complete, back still to the ring.

Oli Sykes: Hi, are you looking for the other side?
Feel like nothing ever seems quite right?
Are you circling the drainpipe, getting off on pain like
You're corrupted?

The Figure turned around and started to head down the ramp. While they were walking with a purpose, there was a certain uncertainty in their path, almost a sway to the music.

Oli Sykes: I need to know where your loyalties lie
Tell me, are you gonna bark or bite?
Do you really wanna twist a knife in the belly
Of the monster?

Halfway down the ramp, the figure meets the first one of the match, Xavier Amari. After just a single glance through the mask, they give Xavier a wide birth, leaping onto the crowd barrier and walking like a tight rope down to the end.

Oli Sykes: Get the fuck up, wake the fuck up
Wipe the system and back the fuck up
You're a puppet, when they cut your strings off
Don't comе crawling back

The figure would then leap from the position to land right in front of Ravenna. They would help her up to her knees and then to their feet, before letting her fall back to the barricade. With the audio cue coming up, they would bounce a couple times before snapping around.

Su-metal: Kingslayer, destroying castles in thе sky
Kingslayer, forevermore the apple of my eye
I'd sacrifice my life to find you, angel of the blade
Kingslayer, come and collect us from the night

Charging to the other side of the ring, the would stop face to face with Sofia and a bit of head movement suggested something was being said through the mask, but only the wo of them could hear what was being said. The figure in red would then run and slide into the ring.

Su-metal: Kurai, kono mienai sekai
Mada kienai mirai
Tada te ni iretai another world

Oli Sykes: System failure

Pushing up to their feet, the figure would give a steady look to the new champion. Fingers going up to pull the hood forward a bit like ye old tip of the hat.

Su-metal: Life is encrypted, you are modified
Like a virus in a lullaby
Artificial 'til the day you die, silly programme

Su-metal: You're corrupted

The figure would move around the ring, never letting their back be shown to the champ, but it soon became obvious this person wasn’t here for her. They would slide out and come walking over to the laid out Nao.

Oli Sykes: Get the fuck up, wake the fuck up
Wipe the system and back the fuck up
You're a puppet, when they cut your strings off
Don't come crawling back, you're on your own

Su-metal: Saa toki no Tobira wo akete Yukou yo

The figure would reach out their hand to help Nao up, after a moment, she would reach down and pull her up to her feet. But instead of releasing her grip on the arm, she instead pulled her closer, until Nao’s face was mere centimeters from the mask.

Su-metal: Kingslayer, destroying castles in the sky
Kingslayer, I'll fight for you until I die
Kingslayer, destroying castles in the sky
Kingslayer, forevermore the apple of my eye
I'd sacrifice it all to guide you, never have to battle alone
Kingslayer, come and collect us from the night

All the movement and dancing stopped at this point. The figure’s free hand moved up to the mask.

Oli Sykes: This is your wake up call
We're going down the rabbit hole
Are you ready?
I can't feel you

The hand would hinge the mask to block the view of the camera as the word you was stretched out. Nao’s face went into utter shock as she was the only one who could see for now.

Babymetal: Oh, yeah

The mask would then drop, showing the emergence of Kitsu in Zion. A rival from another company, it looked like she was here specifically for Nao, having passed the other four in the match.

Oli Sykes: Is this what you want?
This is what you'll fucking get
You motherfucking shit

The camera cuts out still with Nao and Kitsu gripping each other;s arm and staring into each other’s eyes.

WINNER: VALENTINA SKYE (#ANDNEW)
RESULT: CHAMPIONSHIP HUNG

[Kai Morgan]

“Classy Bianca Page is walking out of her locker room in her wrestling gear.

”Classy” Bianca Page: There has been this dark cloud hanging over me for the last several months. That even includes during my Internet Championship reign. That cloud has always been you, Taterhead. You were moved to that piss poor excuse of a brand in Wasteland and you still find ways to stick your deformed nose in my business. And like I have been saying since this match was announced…That all ends tonight when I pin you get again Mr. Potato head and then I will go go back into my locker room and use every kind of soap, shampoo, sanitizer, disinfectant to rid myself of your wretched stench because you are literal trash!

A sour face comes over Bianca .

”Classy” Bianca Page Just thinking about it makes me physically sick. Not only that but it is because of you Tots for brains that I am not the current Internet Champion right now. It is because of you why I am not in the Chance Briefcase ladder match. For those things alone you must suffer. Then after I do that I can go back to my regularly scheduled life and focus on ultimately becoming the Global Heavyweight Champion.

A Zion Wrestling backstage crew member is pushing a cart filled with soaps, spa set, fragrant lotions, bath bombs,shampoos, conditioner, baby wipes, perfume, etc. Bianca stops the crew member and points in the direction of her locker room. The crew member nods his head and begins walking again in the direction of Bianca’s locker room.

”Classy” Bianca Page: I would ask if you are ready but that would be futile wouldn’t it, Tot mush for brains? We all know that you aren’t ready to face me. Quite simply because you don’t have the physical capabilities and you for sure don’t have the mental equity to even be able to hang with me inside the ring. Because just like I have been saying all along you are low class gutter trash. I mean just look at your second rate “girlfriend.’Blaze Darling is clearly who you had to settle for when I stepped all over your dreams of ever being with me. Since you know I am a mega star. So enjoy this final fifteen minutes of fame I give you before sending you back to your pathetic life of obscurity.

[Kai Morgan]

Vivian Blake: The following contest is set for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

“Classy” Bianca Page emerges from the backstage area and stops at the top of the entrance way. She looks out at the crowd with a big smile and blows a kiss to the audience. Bianca smiles as she walks down the aisle. As she gets to the ringside area she does a slight twirl before walking up the ring steps. She motions for the referee to open the ropes for her. Bianca enters the ring and walks into the middle of the ring and raises her arms out to the side.

Vivian Blake: Introducing first, originally from Manhattan, New York now living in Miami, Florida, “Classy” Bianca Page!

"When it's time to party, we will party hard"

The robotic voice can be heard as the lights go down before bright lights flash to the music of all different colors. Out from the back TATER come running out. He throws his arms in the air violently to get the crowd hyped before running down the ramp towards the ring. TATER slides under the ropes before jumping up, running across the ring and hitting the ropes chest first. He throws a hand up with his tongue out before turning and doing the same move to the other side of the crowd. He then slaps himself in the face a few times before waiting for the bell.

Vivian Blake: And her opponent, Goat City, Tennessee, this is Tater!



Tater moves towards Bianca to get started. Bianca tumbles forward, rolling between the bigger competitor’s legs. She pops up so that she basically hed butts him in the jewels. Tater’ ey go wide in pain as he starts to fll back. Bianca pulls him down into what amounts to a sunset flip pin attempt.

ONE!

TWO!

TATER KICKS OUT!

Bianca gets up and kicks Tater right in the face as he’s still down for the most part. Tater goes down. Bianca steps away and wits for him to get up to all fours. She nods and snaps off the Swanky superkick. Tater takes it between the eyes and goes down hard. Biance rolls him over and covers.

ONE!

TATER GETS A SHOULDER UP!

Bianca goes to the corner and smirks as the crowd boos her heavily. She climbs up to the top and glances back at her target. Tater hasn’t moved much at all and she nods to herself, grinning evilly at the booing fans that surround her. Bianca launches herself into the Pure Elegance corkscrew moonsault. Tater moves so that Bianca crashes to the mat hard.Tater scrambles to cradle her as Bianca reacts to the impact she just suffered.

ONE!

TWO!

BIANCA KICKS OUT!

Tter crawls over to the ropes and starts dragging himself to his feet, shaking his head to both try and clear the cobwebs and get himself re-situated in himself. Bianca crawls over to the opposite ropes and stars to pull herself up as well. Tater rushes at her and goes for a big lariat. Bianca sees him coming and is just able to duck out of the way and dodge the oncoming onslaught. Tater turns and grabs at her, Bianca tries to stop him but Tater gets a waistlock. He spins and throws her into a release German suplex. Bianca hits hard and rolls to the corner. She suits up against the turnbuckles. Tater rushes over and smashes into her with a running hip attack that bounces her ruggedly against the turnbuckles. Bianca looks around, her eyes practically rolling into the back of her head. Tater takes a few steps and then rushes right back into a cannonball. Bianca flops over onto her side out of the corner. Tater pulls her away from the rope and covers.

ONE!

BIANCA CRADLES TATER!

ONE!

TATER REVERSES!

ONE!

BIANCA KICKS OUT!

Tater gets to his feet and grabs Bianca in a big bear hug. Bianca cries out in agony as he stands there squeezing with all his might. Bianca tries to head butt her way out of his grip, quickly finding out that is a horrible idea as she hurts herself more than him that way. Tater starts to rag doll her around and Bianca flails, trying to hit him with elbows or knees to stop the back and forth motion. She gets him in the thighs and then elbows him in the mouth and Tater’s grip is loosened enough to pull herself loose. Bianca drops to the mat and spins into a discus lariat. Tater goes down and Bianca covers him.

ONE!

TWO!

THR-NO!

TATER JUST GETS A SHOULDER UP!

Bianca rolls over to the ropes and slips to the outside, rolling out onto the apron. Bianca staggers up and goes for the Affluent slingshot senton atomico. She hits it and Tater rolls over slightly from the impact. Bianca covers again.

THR-NO!

TATER GETS A FOOT ON THE ROPES!

Bianca yanks his foot off the ropes and covers again.

ONE!

TATER KICKS OUT!

Bianca sits up shaking her head and smacking the mat in frustration. She makes a sign at the referee that it was three but the referee says no. Bianca starts up to her feet and argues with the referee even as the hapless official just backs off, not saying much at all. Bianca’s tantrum intensifies right up until Tater rolls her up unaware.

ONE!

TWO!

BIANCA KICKS OUT!

Tater rolls away as Bianca gets up, screaming in outrage. Bianca gets to her feet and throws a big boot at Tater. Tater dodges it and knocks her off-balance with a forearm shot.

Vivian Blake: The winner of this match…TATER!

Winter Mae: What a match, and how gratifying must it be for TATER to get this win?!

Kyle Cassidy: This crowd seems to be in agreement with you, Winter! Your Friend TATER is definitely that dude!

TATER celebrates, running around the ring in joy before rolling out and diving into the crowd, celebrating with them as we fade!

WINNER: TATER
RESULT: PINFALL (TATER TOT)

[Kai Morgan]

Vivian Blake: The following contest is scheduled for the Zion Wrestling Endurance Chaaaaaampionshiiiip! It will be contested under Endurance Rules. This means the winner must win the best of two out of three falls within the three, six minute rounds. However if a pinfall or submission is scored, the round is immediately over. There is one additional rule here at Destiny though! There must be a winner, therefore, if the match ends with Sean Parker and Akane Yamashita at one fall apiece, we will go into sudden death overtime!

Crowd: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

The opening drumbeats and horn notes of “Valhalla Calling” by Miracle of Sound play throughout the arena and the fans come to their feet. The Xtron shows an amalgamation of previous Assassin’s Creed characters such as Eivar, Kassandra, Connor, Altair, Edward Kenway and Ezio before morphing into a CGI-generated form of Sean Parker, hooded standing on the top turnbuckle. He jumps and soars down, Leap of Faith-style before the cameras focus on the stage with a single spotlight, Sean Parker stands, garbed in an Assassin’s Creed-style robe and hood. He opens the robe out and the XWF Anarchy Championship gleams around his waist.

“Oh-ho-oh

The echoes of eternity

Oh-ho-oh

Valhalla calling me

Oh-ho-oh

To pluck the strings of destiny

Oh-ho-oh

Valhalla calling me”

The music fades out and “Ken’s Theme [Metal Version]” by ToxicxEternity plays.

Vivian Blake: Introducing first! The challenger! From Dunfermline, Scotland by way of Pasadena, California, weighing 215 lbs! He is “The Sky Assassin!” SEAN! PAAAAAAARKER!

As Sean makes his way down to the ring, he doesn’t take his eyes off the ring. As he reaches the ringside area, he leaps effortlessly onto the apron, climbing onto the ring post, acknowledging the fans’ cheers with a raised arm. He hops over the top rope and into the ring, loosening up his neck and his arms before waiting in one of the corners for Yamashita.

Once the lights dimmed, the sounds of a chainsaw took over the speakers,quickly followed by fast paced metal guitars and drums. It didn't take long for the male voice to kick into the song. CHAINSAW BLOOD by VAUNDY played through the speakers of the arena, before Akane Yamashita had walked past the curtains with a look of pure confidence on her face. She carried a light tube in one hand, raising it up at the lighting turned to a blood red. She yelled at the people, getting them excited as she began her walk to the ring. Once she made her way to the ringside area, she lined up the light tube with the ring apron before swinging it, watching the glass and smoke go all over the place with an evil look.

Vivian Blake: Introducing next, from Hiroshima, Japan...The Masochist Genius...she is the reigning and defending Zion Wrestling Endurance Champion! AKAAAANE! YAMAAAAASHITAAAAA!!

Akane rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and instantly runs over to the corner, raising both of her hands up, making middle fingers to the crowd as she laughs at her own actions. She hops back down, removing her robe-like coat and throwing it to ringside. She unfastens the Endurance Championship belt and holds it up, pointing to Sean and shaking her head as she laughs. Sean unfastens his XWF Anarchy Championship and holds it up as well, pointing to the Endurance Championship in Yamashita’s hand and motioning to his waist before he lays the belt down in his corner.



Round One
Parker: 0
Yamashita: 0

Although the Endurance Championship is on the line, the match starts out very slow and methodical. Sean and Yamashita don’t rush into things, both experienced in these types of matches, they know to expect. They begin to circle each other around the ring. Yamashita leans forward, hands up, fingers flexing up. Sean mirrors her but before they lock up, Sean out of nowhere throws a big spinning kick that Akane barely avoids.

They soon collide, locking up in a fierce chain wrestling-style grapple.Sean, being the bigger of the two is able to get an early foothold, sending Akane for an Irish whip and executing a lightning-quick Headscissors Takeover, sending Akane sprawling to the mat. But Yamashita is quick to recover. She dodges an incoming spinning roundhouse kick from the challenger, wrapping up Sean with a deft reversal into a Dragon Suplex, driving him into the canvas with authority. The crowd erupts into a frenzy of cheers and applause as the two competitors trade blows with breathtaking speed and precision.

Parker, slightly favoring his neck, is quickly back to his feet as well and unleashes a flurry of martial arts kicks and punches, each strike finding its mark, forcing the champion back. Yamashita responds in kind, her own strikes a blur of motion. Sean gets the better of this exchange as well though, taking Yamashita down with an impressive Spanish Fly. He launches himself off the ropes with a spectacular Springboard 450 Splash and makes the cover!

One…!

Two…!

But Yamashita kicks out. She clutches at her ribs from taking the 450 but fights through as Sean pulls her back to her feet. Akane buries a couple of shots into Sean’s midsection that catches him off-guard, forcing him back into one of the corners. She cracks him across the chest with a series of knife-edge chops before she nails him with Seeing Stars and goes for the cover!

One…!!

Two…!!

This time, Sean kicks out and the bell goes for the end of the first round!



Winter Mae: Wow! That was so close! Yamashita almost scored the first fall right on the bell!

Kyle Cassidy: I think Sean might have just kicked out there!

Yamashita grins wickedly as the ref backs her up into her corner and she holds her hand out with her index finger and thumb close together to emphasize how close that was. Sean pays her no mind, making a mocking mouthing gesture with his own hand as he stretches out his arms in anticipation for round two.



Round Two
Parker: 0
Yamashita: 0

The second round is a stark contrast to the first as Yamashita comes flying out of the gates with a purpose, not wasting a minute of time. She bolts out of her corner, rising up for an Everest Knee Strike and Sean barely avoids the contact, commando-rolling out of harm’s way. Sean goes to counter, aiming to take off Akane’s head with a big-time roundhouse kick but she spots it out of her peripheral vision and brings up an arm to block the strike. She pivots around and buries a knee into Sean’s midsection, forcing his head and she pulls him into a front-face lock, hitting with a textbook fisherman’s suplex, holding onto the inside of Sean’s leg for a pin!

ONE….!

TWO….!

THR-NO!! Sean kicks out! Akane doesn’t let up though and immediately goes back on the attack, grabbing Sean in a waistlock and shows incredible strength to lift the challenger off the mat with an incredible deadlift German suplex! And again, she maintains the bridge and the referee counts!

ONE…!

TWO…!

No! Again, Sean manages to hoist his shoulders off the mat! Sean sits up holding the back of his head and neck but Akane comes running in with a hard Running PK, booting Sean across his face and chest sending him back down. Sean however, out of nowhere, smacks the mat with his hands, shouting and sitting up. He motions for Akane to give him her best shot and the champion duly obliges, delivering another brutal PK straight to his jaw this time and Sean slumps onto this front. Akane picks Sean up and nails him with the Blood Shower Swinging STO DDT! Sean’s head spikes into the mat as Akane rolls him over, hooking the near leg and the referee counts!

ONE..!

TWO…!

THREE!!!



Vivian Blake: Akane Yamashita has scored the first fall!

Winter Mae: Wow!

Kyle Cassidy: The champion has had the challenger’s number so far tonight! For all Sean’s chest-beating in the build to this match, he’s been found wanting so far!

Winter Mae: I don’t know what his thinking was basically goading Akane to hit him but it sure backfired and now Sean has to win two straight falls if he’s to become a two-time Endurance Champion!

Sean pulls himself up. His chest is bright red from taking the PKs from Yamashita as he takes his place in one of the corners. Meanwhile the champion looks pumped up, like the match just started and she points to Sean with her finger up, gesturing one more.

Round Three
Parker: 0
Yamashita: 1



As the bell rings, Sean looks like he’s struggling slightly, having eaten the first fall and his chest is still welted. Akane looks like she senses blood in the water. Sean goes to lock in a collar-and-elbow but Yamashita easily ducks under, running off the ropes behind Sean and nails him with a running enziguri, taking him down to one knee. She hauls him into another front face lock and drills him with a stalling brainbuster. She floats over into a cover.

ONE….!

TWO…!

Again though, Sean shows his resilience as he kicks out. The crowd cheers and starts to get behind him, willing him to get back into the match. Yamashita lays into Sean with a series of martial arts-style punches and strikes before grabbing him by the head and smashing with a hard forearm strike. Sean shakes it off though, gritting his teeth through it. Yamashita nails him with a spinning backfist that staggers him before running off the ropes but Sean leaps up and takes Yamashita down with a scintillating hurricanrana, catching her by surprise. Sean shoots himself off the ropes and cracks Akane with his Bloody Tears 720 spinning roundhouse! Akane slumps down and rolls out of the ring!

However Sean, feeling like he’s building himself back into the match, senses the tide turning! He eyes Akane climbing back to her feet and launches himself straight over the turnbuckle with a Sky Twister Press, landing right on top of her, sending her into the barricade. Sean bounces straight back to his feet, feeling pumped now. He pulls Akane to her feet and cracks her with a knife-edge chop but Akane suddenly retaliates with one of her own! Both competitors wince with each connection. Sean whips Akane into the apron causing her to yelp out in pain. Sean measures her and goes to take her head off with another kick but Akane ducks!

Sean’s leg lands on the apron in an awkward position. Yamashita hops onto the apron and pulls Sean up with her, hooking his leg for another fisherman’s suplex or perhaps a fisherman’s buster. Sean does his best to block it though. He fights out of the front face lock, freeing his leg up! Sean goes for the Blade of Miquella skull kick but Akane dodges! She hooks Sean up! DRAGON SUPLEX ON THE APRON!

Crowd: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

Sean clutches his neck, kicking his feet off the apron in emphasis for the pain he’s in! Akane doesn’t let up though. She rolls back into the ring and reaches through, pulling Sean through and spikes him hard with a Hangman’s DDT! Sean is suspended in mid-air like in slow motion before collapsing onto his front. Akane leaps to the ropes! Mooooonsault! Beautifully-executed! Cover!

ONE….!

TWO….!

2.99999!!

Sean kicks out! Akane looks shocked, holding three fingers up to the referee who assures her Sean kicked out. A look of fury takes over Yamashita’s face and she grabs Sean, wrapping her arm around his neck and she locks in the Eternal Sleep Dragon Sleeper! Sean flails around, trying to fight out of it but Yamashita grapevines Sean’s torso with a body scissors! The ref is right over to see if Sean taps out but he shakes his hand defiantly from side-to-side. His arm then begins to fade a bit, becoming more droopy as Akane shakes him about like a great white shark devouring a seal! Suddenly, the bell rings just as Sean’s arm drops signalling the end of round three!


Kyle Cassidy: What just happened!? Did Sean pass out? Has Yamashita retained in a shut-out?!

Winter Mae: No, the bell rang for the end of the round! Yamashita thinks she’s won!

Yamashita lets go and raises her arms in the air in victory but the referee is quick to tell her that the bell is for the end of the round. The champion remonstrates, gesturing with her own arm and pointing to Sean that he was out.

Kyle Cassidy: Controversy in Round Three! Sean is still in the match but how much does he have left! He’s still one-nil down and has only nine minutes over the next three rounds to win this match!

Sean looks spent after fighting so valiantly back into the match. His face is a bluely, purpley color after enduring Yamashita’s dragon sleeper as he pulls himself up using the ropes.



Round Four
Parker: 0
Yamashita: 1

Yamashita shrieks as she sprints across the ring and bulldozes through Sean with a lariat that almost takes his head off, turning him inside out. She grabs Sean by the arm, pulling him to his feet and unloads with a series of vicious forearms but incredibly Sean fights back, returning the favor with some of his own. Champion and challenger are going hammer and tong, trading in the center of the ring. Akane looks like she may be beginning to get the upper hand, her strikes seemingly having more of an impact on Sean than his are having on her. Sean leans back against the ropes, staggered by a big strong style elbow.

He comes forward with a tired and labored spinning roundhouse but Akane catches him! BLOOD SHOWER! NO! Sean spins around! He leaps up on Akane’s shoulders! RAIDENRANA! AKANE’S HEAD SPIKES INTO THE MAT! A huge pop emanates from the crowd! Sean grits his teeth and pulls himself back, scaling the top rope! He sizes Yamashita up and leaps off! AIR ASSASSIN! Sean lands the inverted 450 Splash! Yamashita cries out in pain, clutching at her ribs as she painfully climbs to her knees! Sean pumps himself, measuring Akane and he explodes out of the corner! MASAMUNE DECAPITATION! Yamashita is star-fished! Sean makes the cover!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!!!!



Vivian Blake: Sean Parker has scored the second fall! Whoever wins the next fall will be the Zion Wrestling Endurance Champion!

Kyle Cassidy: My God, what a match! Just when you think Sean is out of it, he comes straight back!

Winter Mae: It’s incredible, Kyle, absolutely incredible. Yamashita showing exactly why she’s been the longest-reigning Endurance Champion and Sean Parker proving that he’s one the most resilient competitors in Zion!



Round Five
Parker: 1
Yamashita: 1

This time, both champion and challenger are looking like they’re feeling the effects of the match from the start of the fifth round. There are still steely looks of determination on both their faces though. Sean steps towards the center of the ring and he points to the mat as if to say “let’s go!” a twisted smile crosses the champion’s face as Yamashita duly obliges and unleashes a brutal standing lariat that sends a sickening thud throughout the arena. Sean staggers back, collapsing onto his knees from the impact! Akane lets loose with another big-time lariat after Sean climbs to his feet which crumples to his knees again but Akane holds him up! She goes for a third but Sean finds another gear! He cracks Yamashita with a HUGE roundhouse kick right on the temple! Sean now off the ropes but Akane follows him in! Another lariat! Akane goes back off the opposite ropes! Running enziguri but no! Sean counters! SPANISH FLY! COVER!

ONE…!!

TWO…!!

THREE-NEW CHAMPION-NO!! Akane kicks out! Sean feels the surge of positive energy from the crowd who will him on as Akane jadedly climbs to her feet. Sean climbs out of the ring and springboards back into the ring just as Yamashita climbs to her feet! Wait! Yamashita catches Sean coming in! SEEING STARS! diving codebreaker! Sean is waylaid! Yamashita is now in the ascendancy again! She heads to the top rope! Another beautiful moonsault! Another cover!

ONE…!!

TWO…!!!

THR-NO! Sean powers out, shaking his head from side-to-side, slamming his palms off the mat in defiance! He comes back to his feet, grabs Akane by the back of the head and plants a straight headbutt right into her face! Blood gushes from the champion’s nose but it just seems to unleash something in the champion! She screams and spits blood in Sean’s face before slamming her own forehead into Sean’s face, opening up a wicked gash on his forehead! They lean their foreheads on one another, grabbing each other backs of their heads and just lay into each other with forearms, rights and lefts with a renewed energy! Sean with a spinning back elbow! Akane eats it and cracks Sean under the jaw with an Everest Knee Strike! He too shakes it off though! Both champion and challenger stop and collapse to their knees in slow-motion as the bell goes for the end of round five!



Crowd: This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome!

Kyle Cassidy: This may be the most bat-shit crazy Endurance Championship match we’ve ever had here in Zion! These two are literally holding each other up, they’re bleeding, they’re exhausted but they’re still going!

Winter Mae: And we have to have a winner, Kyle! If this finishes at one apiece, Yamashita does not automatically retain, we will have to go into overtime!



Round Six
Parker: 1
Yamashita: 1

The referee can’t even get Yamashita and Sean up to their feet to start the sixth and final round and just calls for the start of the round. Both champion and challenger are breathing heavily, bleeding all over each other, heads resting on each other. They both slowly rise to their feet. Akane screws her face up before cracking Sean straight across the face with an open-palm strike that almost sends his head spinning all the way round. Akane’s hand is covered in Sean’s blood and she licks it off her palm before going for a big rolling elbow but Sean ducks under it and pushes Akane back onto the ropes. She launches herself off them though and leaps up, wrapping her legs around Sean’s head for a hurricanrana but Sean blocks it! He launches Yamashita up and plunges her down! LIGER BOMB! Sean rolls Akane through and lifts her up, shuffling her into position! Howl of the Sniper Wolf! Tombstone Piledriver! The champion is out!

ONE….!

TWO….!

THREE-NO!!! Yamashita kicks out! She kicks out of the Howl of the Sniper Wolf! Sean can’t believe it, he holds his head in his hands, thinking he had the title won! He grabs Akane back up, drawing a finger across his throat and picks her up. He’s looking for a second Howl of the Sniper Wolf! but no! Akane counters, sliding behind Sean! She spins him around, pulling him with a ripcord! Front face lock! BLOOD SHOWER!!! YAMASHITA MAKES THE COVER THIS TIME!

ONE….!

TWO….!

2.999999!!! NEAR-FALL! SEAN KICKS OUT OF THE BLOOD SHOWER!

Crowd: FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER!

Sean is lying on his front on the mat, staining the canvas with his blood, a glazed look in his eyes. Before anything else can happen, the bell rings! Yamashita collapses on her back with exhaustion as Sean struggles up to a kneeling position.



Vivian Blake: Ladies and gentlemen, as stipulated, because neither Sean Parker or Akane Yamashita could score a winning pinfall or submission, this match will now go to sudden death!

A huge cheer from the crowd erupts as both Sean and Akane climb tiredly back to their feet and the referee calls for the bell to signal the start of sudden death.

Sudden Death
Parker: 1
Yamashita: 1

Exhaustion hangs heavy in the air as both competitors summon the last reserves of their strength for the decisive moment that will determine the victor. With a primal roar, Sean launches into action, defying the fatigue he’s feeling. Yamashita catches him coming in though, nailing him right in the midsection with a spinning back kick that knocks the wind out of him.

She grabs Sean up from behind into a waistlock. She goes for another deadlift German but Sean somehow lands on his feet right behind Yamashita! He turns her around, pulling her head between his legs, double underhooks! He lifts her up! Tiger Driver 91! However, incredibly Yamashita rolls through, roaring loudly, arms outstretched. She rampages towards Sean and explodes into him with a pumping bomber lariat! Yamashita grabs Sean hurriedly by the arm and pulls him in, she goes for Blood Shower but Sean rams a knee into the back of Akane’s knee! He grabs her head from behind! ARCANE BLAST!! HEADLOCK DRIVER!!

Yamashita crumples into the mat in a heap and Sean literally collapses on top of her, barely hooking a leg as the referee goes to count!

ONE….!!!

TWO…!!!!

THREE!!!!



Vivian Blake: Here is your winner…. AND NEW! Zion Wrestling Endurance Champion! “The Sky Assassin” SEAN! PARKER!

Winter Mae: He did it! Sean did it! He’s the first two-time Endurance Champion!

Kyle Cassidy: I’ll say again, what a match! What a pay-per-view we’ve had so far at Destiny III and we’ve barely even started!

The referee hands Sean the Endurance Championship and he looks at the title as he sits on the mat. He looks over and sees Yamashita slowly getting up too. Sean lays the belt in front of her, bowing down and splaying his hands on the mat in a show of respect. He reaches out and shakes the former champion’s hand.

As Sean Parker’s music continues to play inside the Cotton Bowl Stadium, the new Endurance Champion finally climbs to his feet. He looks exhausted, his face and chest stained with both his and Akane Yamashita’s blood. He picks up his XWF Anarchy Championship belt as well as his newly-won Endurance Championship belt too. He staggers across the ring, holding the ropes for support and motions from a mic from Vivian Blake who hands one to him. His labored breath can be heard, amplified by the mic in his hand as he struggles to get his bearings. Sean pinches the corners of his eyes with his index finger and thumb of his free hand. He looks out to see Akane Yamashita walking back up the ramp.

Sean Parker: Yamashita-San… Dōmo arigatōgozaimashita. Kono puroresu no shiai wa watashi no kyaria de mottomo ōkina meiyo no hitotsu deshita. Anata ga kizuite kita isan ni hajinai yō, saizen o tsukushimasu!” (Thank you very much. This wrestling match was one of the biggest honors of my career. I will do my best to live up to the legacy you have built!)

A huge cheer erupts from the crowd as Sean gives the former champion her flowers. Sean looks at both the championship belts on his respective shoulders. He jerks his shoulder with the XWF Anarchy Championship on it.

Sean Parker: I know this belt here probably doesn’t mean a helluva lot to anyone in this stadium or even to anyone in the back but this championship belt for a long time was a symbol. In another world, winning this belt, defending it, holding it for 130 days was a defending achievement for me… but this…

Sean looks down affectionately at the Endurance Championship belt, his bloodied face reflecting in the shimmering plate.

Sean Parker: This… is what I have craved for the last four months since that fateful night in Cleveland… When I last held this belt, I made a lot of promises that I didn’t follow through on. I put the Mayhem roster on notice and said if you wanted to prove yourself among the best, if you wanted to test your mettle against the best, you had to go through me. I said I was going to be the endurance test and that this championship was going to be the pinnacle of this brand in Zion. I was going to be the greatest, most decorated, proudest champion in this company… but I took my eye off the ball… I overfilled my cup and I paid the price…

Sean stops for a moment. He lays the mic down for a second, fastening the XWF Anarchy Championship around his waist. He lifts the mic back up and holds the Endurance Championship above his head.

Sean Parker: ... I will not make the same mistake twice! Like I told Yamashita-San last week on Mayhem, the Sean Parker that held this title the first time? He’s dead and buried. This guy? Standing in this ring today? He’s the champion you should have had and he’s the champion you’re going to get!

Sean turns and points to the ramp.

Sean Parker: Everyone watching in the back, in the locker rooms! I don’t care if you’re on Mayhem, Wasteland or Fusion! Everyone is officially on notice! You think you’re the best in the company? You’re going to have to beat me to prove it!

Sean drops his mic as his music plays again and he gingerly takes his leave of the ring, walking up the ramp, slapping hands with the fans and making his way backstage.

WINNER: SEAN PARKER (#ANDNEW)
RESULT: PINFALL (ARCANE BLAST)

[Kai Morgan]

We open up to see Alex Andrews sitting on the floor with her head against the wall as she sits in the hallway. We see her open her eyes and looks towards the camera. She clears her throat as she turns her head in that direction.

Alex Andrews:
How did I find myself in this 8 person Chance Ladder match, you ask? Quite frankly, it's because I've pinned Becca Black twice. But, we've all seen how petty she is, otherwise you'd see the Zion Internet Championship around my waist, but that's water under the bridge at this point, right?

Alex clicks her tongue and shakes her head.

Alex Andrews:
And then, she goes ahead and steals someone else's opportunity because I thwarted hers. Am I surprised? No, not really, just a bit disappointed. Guess I'm not as done with that witch as I thought I would be at this point. As for the other six people? I know they want this, and likely for the same reasons I do. But you see, I'm here to make an immediate splash, not just happy to be here, go with the flow type. I've done that before and I'm afraid I don't have the time or interest to wait my turn. So this right here? This opportunity? It's just what I need. And let me tell you, while I might not look like the most fearsome wrestler ever, I do have quite a bit of hardcore/extreme experience. So, I'm afraid don't judge me by my looks, because I'll surprise you every time. Ain't none of y'all are willing to dig as deep as I will.

A broad smile creeps up on Alex's face.

Alex Andrews:
Like, I know I have my work cut out for me here, but I've spent a career overcoming odds. And I work best when my back is against the wall. Don't think I can do this and grab that briefcase? Just watch me.

From there, Alex pulls herself up from the ground, dusting herself off and her hands as well. She nods at the camera and just walks off down the hallway.

WINNER: ERISSA
RESULT: PINFALL (BY A THOUSAND SUNS)

[Kai Morgan]

Destiny III has been an incredible show so far and is showing no signs of letting up. However, in this instance the cameras move away from the arena to a video package which begins with the words “Earlier Today”. As the screen fades into living color the picture is from high up and looking down at the Destiny III Setup being put together by its crew. A familiar voice is heard as the camera pans to the right to show Isabella Rossi leaning on a balcony looking down with a focused gaze…

Isabella Rossi: Destiny three… I didn’t not believe I would make it here. I certainly didn’t think I would be taking part in the match I find myself including in…

Isabella sighs.

Isabella Rossi: It is surreal to me because my sole focus since joining was to push myself and earn my spot in a main event of this card… The World Cup was my ticket to do that and I came within a whisper of possibly doing just that… With everything I have achieved up to this point I should be proud of the name I have made myself here in Zion Wrestling… It is easy to forget that while you believe your star shines brightest, there are others that are brighter still…

Isabella nods to herself before turning to the camera now…

Isabella Rossi: So, during my time away I have asked myself what is next for Isabella Rossi, aside from the opportunity to win the Gateway Championship… I ask myself just how I want to be remembered in this company. For months I was an outsider to you all but now I have earned a place on the roster to plant my roots. I look at the battle royal and see the chances of victory slimmer than when I took part in the World Cup and that is okay…

Isabella nods once again with a smirk…

Isabella Rossi: It is okay because no matter what happens I will leave a mark; I will leave you talking about Bella Tempesta in one way shape or form each and every week. I have beaten some of the best to set foot in the ring, ending streaks just like I have lost my own. And while they have their own challenges mine stands before me as a mountain I will climb. The gateway championship is not just a means to an end for Isabella Rossi, it is the beginning of something beautiful. Something this company sorely needs, that much is clear… A Prima Revolution...

Isabella blows a kiss to the camera and winks.

Isabella Rossi: Who is with me?

Rossi would turnback to continue watching the set up of the main stage and ring for Destiny as the video fades to black.



The camera fades into a dimly lit backstage area, filled with the hustle and bustle of wrestlers and crew members preparing for the upcoming match. In the center of it all stands Charlie St Haven, clad in her signature studded and fringed leather jacket, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. With a determined expression, she throws on her jacket as she begins to speak, her southern accent dripping with confidence.

CHARLIE ST HAVEN: Well, well, well, would y'all look at this? It's the day of reckoning, the day where destiny meets opportunity head-on.

She adjusts the collar of her jacket, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes.

CHARLIE ST HAVEN: Every match, every win, every loss, it's all led me right here, down this road to destiny. And let me tell you, darlin', destiny ain't no easy ride. But I ain't lookin' for easy. No, I'm lookin' for somethin' to sink my teeth into, somethin' to fight for.

She pauses, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips.

CHARLIE ST HAVEN: And that's exactly what the CHANCE Briefcase is – an opportunity I ain't about to let slip through my fingers. I'm gonna fight my damnedest, claw my way to the top, and snatch that briefcase like it's the last shot of whiskey in a dry town.

Charlie steps closer to the camera, her gaze intense yet inviting.

CHARLIE ST HAVEN: They call me the Last of the Gunslingers, and for good reason. I'm an Outlaw with nothin' to lose and everythin' to gain. Those other seven wrestlers? Bless their hearts, they might think they're walkin' into this match with a chance, but let me tell ya, they ain't walkin' out with the same chance as me.

She smirks, a fire burning in her eyes.

CHARLIE ST HAVEN: So, to all y'all watchin', mark my words – tonight, Charlie St Haven is walkin' into that ring ready to raise hell. And when the dust settles, when the smoke clears, I'll be the one standin' tall, with that Chance Briefcase clutched tight in my hands. Y'all can bet on it.

With a final, confident smile at the camera, Charlie turns and strides off, her boots echoing against the concrete floor as she heads towards the ring, ready to make history.

[Kai Morgan]

Crybaby: The following contest…is the Chance Briefcase Ladder Match!



The lights go out for a few seconds before we hear the words

"I Want It All.
I Want It All.
I Want It All.
And I Want It Now.

The guitar riffs begin to play as we get settled into Queen's " I Want It All". As the lights bear the stage begin to strobe and flickers a litte, Alex Andrews runs onto stage. The lights come back onto full power as Alex runs from one side of the stage to the other trying to pump the fans up. When she's satisfied with that, she starts making her way down the ramp.


Crybaby: Making her way to the ring, from Nashville Tennessee, she is Lady Limitless, this is Alex Andrews!


Alex slaps hands with a few fans along the way down towards the ramp, she bounces to the music for a step or two before she climbs onto the apron and scales the turnbuckle from outside, she yells at the crowd, "Let's go!" before she drops into the ring. There she'll raise her arms to show off her "guns" before she bounces from toe to toe to get herself warmed up.



Crybaby: Next…representing The Queens of Chaos…from London, England…weighing in at 143 lbs…Becca! Black!



Crybaby: Next…from Colorado Springs, Colorado…weighing in at 138 lbs…Charlie! St. Haven!



The lights in the arena go out as the piecing alarms of the song blare. The spotlights at the top of the ramp glow red as the music slowly begins to kick in. The lights illuminate the silhouette of a woman.

"Colossus..."

Suddenly a much larger figure steps into the light, becoming illuminated from behind as well.

"ARISE"

The heavy music kicks in as the arena lights come up again, The pair of Katie and Damian Simmons are revealed. Katie wears a devious smirk as she stares into the camera while her husband, towering over her, glares directly at the ring.

"In the image of man...
We breed our demons
On the wide wings of science...
Our abomination of a child flies"

The couple begin walking toward the ring. Damian remains focused on the ring while his wife hangs by the sides of the ramp, taunting the fans as she passes by. Fans shout things at the pair but neither seem affected by it. Damian remains transfixed on his goal and Katie just giggles and waves.

Crybaby: Next…being accompanied to the ring by Katie Simmons…from Sin City…standing at 7 feet 2 inches and weighing in at 295 lbs…Damian! Simmons!

Finally they make it to ringside. Katie walks around the side while Damian climbs up onto the ring apron and easily steps over the top rope. Katie lays on her side, taunting the fans some more while giving them a show. After a few seconds she crawls in backward on her hands and knees, meeting up with her husband in the middle of the ring where he is standing, towering over her.

"Ask me for your name, my friend
Tell me what I feel like to you
Is it coming to an end?
I don't understand it

COLOSSUS
COLOSSUS ARISE"

Katie winks into the camera before hopping to her feet. She circles around Damian and removes his vest for him while he continues to stare deep into the viewer. Finally, Damian takes to his corner and focuses on the upcoming match as his wife exits the ring. Simmons is seething in his corner, itching to start the fight.



The arena goes dark suddenly, as the low, grungy guitar riff of Scroobius Pip's "Let 'Em Come" starts to fill the arena. An array of different colored lights start to swirl through the arena, lighting up different sections of the audience for a moment before moving right along to somewhere else. A few seconds pass, and it's only when the singer speaks up that the curtain is pushed aside, and Kaitlin Williams comes pushing through, immediately spreading her arms out wide, a sly little smile on her face as she glances out into the arena. She holds her spot in the center of the stage, rolling her neck out to either side, only making her way down the ramp when she’s good and ready.

Kaitlin's clearly in no particular hurry, as she more saunters down the ring, occasionally glancing to either side of her to take in the fans at the aisleway. It’s never for more than a moment or two, though, as the most regard the Crown Jewel is willing to give is a little tilt of the head to one fan in particular trying to get her attention--whatever he may have been saying, it didn’t do much to faze her, and she just continues to move on.

Crybaby: Introducing next, from Adelaide, South Australia: weighing in at 156 lbs, she is the self-proclaimed Crown Jewel of Professional Wrestling, KAITLIN WILLIAMS!

At her own pace, Kate eventually reaches the ring steps, pausing with one boot on the bottom step, closing her eyes for just a second before quickly jogging up onto the apron, casually wiping the soles of her boots off before spinning around to face the crowd--if only to smirk a little bit as a shower of boos rain down on her. She chuckles a little, spinning to step into the ring, crossing all the way to the far side and stretching her arms out, holding the pose for several seconds before shrugging her jacket off, tossing it out of the ring and backing to her corner.



There are no frills or over indulgence to be had other than a pulsing blue light and “Cammy's Theme” from Super Street Fighter II as KC Ward makes her way through the curtain.

Crybaby: Next…from Los Angeles, California…weighing in at 130 lbs…KC! Ward!

Sporting only a sleeveless zipup hoodie as she makes her way down to the ring, The Silent Protagonist holds her hands out for fans to cross her palms but keeps her gaze squarely on the ring, and the task at hand.

Rolling into the ring and ripping her hoodie off, KC stands in the corner, ready for the oncoming battle.



The lights inside of the arena come undone, leaving everyone in the darkness of the night, as the fans pull out the flashlights upon their mobile devices and look around the arena. This would continue on for a moment, slowly the spotlights beginning to shine and appear to circle around the crowd, but as the song quickly reached it’s crescendo – every light inside of the arena brightened all of a sudden at full power as ‘Circle With Me’ played through the speakers.

“CUT DOWN THE ALTAR!”

That’s when the camera panned down to the stage, to the figure standing at the top of the ramp with their arms extended out wide, and that’s when the camera cuts down to the closest to the area, giving us the full image of Lukas Baudelaire soaking in the crowd’s negative reaction. A large smile along his face as slowly dropped the arms and began his timely walk toward the ring. The lights inside of the arena flashing with every drum beat in the background to his music. Baudelaire would find his way to the ring and climb the steps, bringing himself along the apron before brushing his feet along the said apron, entering through the middle ropes as his introduction began.

Crybaby: Next…from Rotterdam, Netherlands…weighing in at 225 lbs…Lukas! Baudelaire!

The arms of Lukas became outstretched once again as another repeat of the crescendo came through the speakers, the lights flashing like strobe lights down onto the kneeling Baudelaire in the middle of the ring, before he finally lifted himself back up to his feet and headed into the corner.



During the song’s intro, flashing lights make themselves known as kanji characters spelling her name flash on the screen with the buildup of the song. Once it kicks in, out comes Reina, covering herself with her entrance coat before dramatically brushing it off.

Crybaby: And their opponent…from wherever she may roam…weighing in at 136 lbs…Reina! Hamada!

Amber Westgate: A huge line up for this match tonight! Who do you have as a favorite in this one, Kyle?

Kyle Cassidy: Honestly? It’s hard for me to pick! I see a future World Champion in each and every one of these competitors! One day, they’ll all get there, that much I swear on! But tonight, we’re gonna find out who has a chance to get there the fastest!

A smile is plastered on her face. With a jolly, purposeful stride she makes her way to the ring, giving fans high-fives and having the time of her life until she steps into the apron, posing on it. Then, she enters the ring, poses on the turnbuckle before doing the same on the center of the ring. Her song fades out, and she takes her entrance gear off.



The bell rings and the action immediately gets underway, with Becca Black rushing across the ring and immediately nailing Reina Hamada with a Big Boot! Hamada rolls out of the ring, with Black going after her as they exchange strikes on the outside! Meanwhile, in the ring, the remaining competitors go after each other, with everyone finding a partner as Charlie St. Haven targets Kaitlin Williams, Alex Andrews goes after Lukas Baudelaire, and KC Ward gravitates towards Damian Simmons! St. Haven is the first to gain headway, nailing Williams with a European Uppercut that sends her out of the ring! She notices Ward being backed into the ropes by Damian Simmons! She nails Simmons with a strike from behind, with both her and Ward beginning to target the big man two on one! They eventually work him into position, looking to take him down together with a Suplex! But Simmons refuses to budge, planting himself to the mat before dropping them both with a Double Suplex! Just to show off extra, he kips up off the move, seemingly not breaking a sweat from lifting both women up at once!

Just then, Andrews nails Baudelaire with a Discus Clothesline, sending him rolling out of the ring! With this, she and Simmons are left alone in the ring, circling around each other as they realize they have yet another opportunity to show off their strength against each other! They grab each other’s hands, going for a Test of Strength that Simmons gets the initial upper hand in! But Andrews is able to fight back, getting them to an even positioning as Simmons looks slightly surprised by her endurance here! He decides to pivot, breaking a hand out of the hold and using it to nail her with a Knife Edge Chop! Andrews recoils off of the strike, but doesn’t back down, nailing SImmons with a Chop of her own! This breaks the hold entirely, with Andrews now pulling Simmons up onto her shoulders in a Fireman’s Carry position! The fans go insane as Andrews picks up the big man!

Amber Westgate: No way!

Kyle Cassidy: Yes way, Amber! You may not see what she does on the red brand in the flesh, but I can tell you for certain that Alex Andrews is a freak of nature! This is just another Monday for her!

Simmons is able to slip off of Andrews’ shoulders, however, grabbing her from behind before tossing her across the ring with a Release German Suplex! Just as he gets up, he notices something peeking through the ropes, a ladder that Charlie St. Haven is attempting to push into the ring! Simmons decides to commandeer the ladder, grabbing it from the other side before pushing it into St. Haven’s face! He pulls it into the ring, holding it out in front of him! But this only serves to his detriment, with Reina Hamada reintroducing herself into the match by launching into the ring and hitting a Springboard Dropkick on the ladder, sending Simmons collapsing underneath it! KC Ward sees this, deciding to double down on the attack as she goes for the ropes and nails Simmons with a Springboard Moonsault on the ladder, crushing Simmons underneath it!

Ward is a bit hurt off the move, taking the brunt of the ladder in the process of hurting Simmons! This leaves an opening for Kaitlin Williams, who lifts Ward right up off the move and drops her with a Saito Suplex! She pulls Ward back to her feet, getting her in position before dropping her on top of Simmons and the ladder with a Powerbomb! Both competitors roll out of the ring, with Williams grabbing the ladder and attempting to climb up! But she immediately gets pulled down before she can make it all the way up, with Becca Black being the culprit! Williams looks for a strike to get Black to back off, but she catches it, retaliating with a strike of her own! She doubles down on Williams, bashing her head against the ladder before getting her into the position for a Vertical Suplex! Lukas Baudelaire sees this and looks to take advantage, sliding into the ring before jumping onto both Black and Williams midlift to drop them both with a Meteora! Baudelaire attempts to get up off the move, only to catch a Shining Wizard from Reina Hamada!

Hamada sees an opening now, climbing to the top of the ladder and attempting to unhook the briefcase! Before she can successfully do so, however, Charlie St. Haven climbs up the other side, clobbering Hamada with a strike to the head! Hamada fights back however, nailing St. Haven with a strike of her own! The two of them tee off now, nailing each other with strikes to the head at high altitude! This gets interrupted as Alex Andrews comes in and tilts the ladder over! Both Hamada and St. Haven fell from the ladder, their heads connecting with the top rope on the way down! They stagger around for a bit, leaving an opening for Andrews to rush in and take them both down with a Double Spear! Andrews gets to her feet, only to catch a hand around the throat from Damian Simmons, who looks to take her down with a Chokeslam! Andrews reverses however, nailing Simmons with a boot to the midsection! He buckles back into the ropes, with Andrews rushing towards him and dropping him and herself over and out of the ring with a Cactus Clothesline!

Meanwhile on the other side of the ringside area, Becca Black fights back KC Ward, throwing her into the barricade! She digs under the ring now, grabbing a ladder and attempting to push it into the ring! Kaitlin Williams counters this from inside the ring however, hitting the ladder with a Sliding Dropkick that sends it into Black’s face! This ends up leaving the ladder bridging between the ring apron and the barricade! Williams slides out of the ring to capitalize, only to catch a Bicycle Kick from Lukas Baudelaire! He pulls her to her feet, throwing her face first into the ladder bridge and sending her to the ground again! Williams crawls underneath the ladder, with Baudelaire giving chase as he goes underneath the ladder bridge as well to get to her! Before he can reach her however, Damian Simmons rushes him, nailing him with a Shoulder Block!

With that, Charlie St. Haven and Reina Hamada elect to work together, nailing Simmons with strikes to the back at ringside! It isn’t enough however, with Simmons getting a hand around both of their throats! Before he can capitalize however, KC Ward intercepts, nailing him from behind with strikes! Alex Andrews now joins in now, with the four of them clobbering the big man in a team effort! Ward clears the announce table, leaving an opening for Andrews, St. Haven, and Hamada to drop him through it with a Triple Powerbomb!

Amber Westgate: What a huge move by these four! They may have just taken out Damian Simmons for good!

Kyle Cassidy: Keyword being “may have”! We don’t even know for sure!

Becca Black and Kaitlin Williams storm the area before the four can admire their handy work, going after Hamada and St. Haven respectively! Seeing no other options, Andrews and Ward go after each other now, and it becomes a huge brawl at ringside! Ward gets Andrews up, looking for a Powerbomb! But Andrews reverses, grabbing onto the ropes and pulling herself onto the apron to get out! Andrews nails Ward with a Kick to send her away, before attempting to dive off the apron and onto her! But Ward reverses now, jumping to the apron and clobbering Andrews from behind to keep her from making her move! She gets Andrews in position now, looking to drop her on the apron with a Blue Thunder Bomb! But Andrews reverses, getting her legs around Ward's head and dropping her onto everyone at ringside with a Avalanche Frankensteiner!

Black, Hamada, Williams, Ward, and St. Haven are all down at ringside, with Andrews seemingly the only one able to get up as she slides back into the ring! She pulls the ladder in the ring up, slowly making the climb to the top! She has one hand on the briefcase, and another on the carabiner holding it! She unclips the carabiner…

…

…

…

…

But NO! Lukas Baudelaire stops her before she can pull the briefcase down, pushing the ladder over! Andrews lands on her feet, rushing towards Baudelaire only to be caught with The Death of Peace of Mind! Running Bicycle Knee Strike connects! Baudelaire turns to grab the ladder, only to be caught with the Dreamcrasher! Coffin Drop by Charlie St. Haven! She gets Baudelaire up, looking for the Cult Classic Impact! But Baudelaire pushes her away before she can go for the move! This sends her right into Reina Hamada, who catches St. Haven with the Harpoon! Spear to St. Haven! Baudelaire pulls Hamada off the mat now, throwing her out of the ring before going for the ladder again! He sets up the ladder before making the climb to the top! He reaches for the briefcase, only for Kaitlin Williams to make the climb up from the other side! She nails Baudelaire with a strike to the head that has him doubling over! She sees an opportunity now, getting him in position before dropping him from the top of the ladder and all the way to the mat with Katastrophe! Pumphandle Powerbomb from 12 feet in the air!

Williams pulls herself up to her knees, looking up at the briefcase hanging over the ring with ruthless determination! She pulls herself to her feet, only to immediately get dropped with a Superkick! Becca Black drops Williams with a Superkick! Williams pulls herself back to her feet, only for Black to pull her into position and drop her with Showtime! Shock Arrow to Williams! She rolls out of the ring, with Black now climbing to the top of the ladder! She gets her hands on the briefcase, unhooking the carabiner it’s attached to…

…

…

…

…

NO! Reina Hamada jumps off the top rope, springboarding right into the other side of the ladder and right in front of Black! She nails Black over the head with a strike, before pushing her off the ladder and to the mat with a boot! Black reels in agony on the mat, eventually rolling out of the ring and onto the ladder bridge set up at ringside! Hamada has her eyes on the briefcase, with no one else up to stop her, Hamada could take it and win this…

…but then she looks down at Black…

Amber Westgate: No…no…NO!

Hamada begins to climb to the top of the ladder, unable to take her eyes off of Black as she lays across the ladder bridge!

Kyle Cassidy: Hamada…don’t! Don’t do it!

Hamada looks around at the Dallas crowd, a lot of them chanting “no” at what she’s thinking of doing! They’re drowned out, however, by the chaotic fans among them, cheering on the car crash to come!

Amber Westgate: Think of what you’re throwing away here! It’s not worth it!

But apparently Hamada thinks the opposite, launching off the ladder and throwing herself right onto Black with SIETE MARES!!! INSANE ELBOW FROM THE LADDER INTO BLACK AT RINGSIDE!!! Both Hamada and Black are buried in the remnants of the broken ladder, both of them not moving a muscle!

Crowd: HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!

Amber Westgate: This is concerning, Kyle! Reina Hamada and Becca Black’s hatred for each other has gotten out of control!

Kyle Cassidy: They’re still not moving! They’ve effectively taken each other out of this match!

Amber Westgate: Which means it’s anyone’s game now!

Alex Andrews crawls towards the ladder now, seeing her chance to take this thing! She climbs to the top, grabbing a hold of the briefcase…

…but then a hand wraps around her throat!

The owner of said hand rises to the top of the ladder with her, revealing that Damian Simmons is back in this match! He tightens his grip on Andrews, before diving off the ladder with her in tow for Hellfire! Chokeslam off the ladder from Simmons! Simmons attempts to pull himself to his feet, only to be caught with Enter The Dead Zone! Stomp from Charlie St. Haven! Simmons rolls to ringside, right next to Andrews, Ward, and Baudelaire! No one else is in the ring! St. Haven’s got this! She climbs to the top of the ladder, unhooking the carabiner from the briefcase! She pulls the brie—NO!

NO! SHE DOESN’T HAVE IT!!!

THE LADDER IS BEGINNING TO SHIFT!!! KAITLIN WILLIAMS AS PUSHING IT FROM THE BOTTOM!!!

St. Haven scrambles, trying her damnedest to pull the briefcase down before the inevitable happens! But it’s too late, as Williams fully tilts the ladder over, sending St. Haven falling into the rest of the field at ringside! Everyone topples over! Ward, Baudelaire, Simmons, Andrews, and now St. Haven are all down at ringside! Williams gets the ladder back up, climbing to the top before grabbing the briefcase and unhooking it…

…

…

…

…

…

…SHE PULLS IT DOWN!! KAITLIN WILLIAMS HAS DONE IT!! KAITLIN WILLIAMS WINS THE CHANCE BRIEFCASE!!!



Crybaby: Ladies and gentlemen…the winner of the Chance Briefcase…Kaitlin! Williams!

Amber Westgate: Kaitlin Williams takes this one, and in doing so guarantees that every single champion in Zion has a reason to look over their shoulder!

Kyle Cassidy: Kaitlin Williams is already a major threat when you know she’s coming! Now anyone holding a title has the pleasure of finding out what it’s like to step to the crown at any time!

Amber Westgate: And if you need a reminder of what happens when you step to the crown, I’m sure the seven bodies lining ringside will be happy to tell you!

Williams sits atop the ladder, holding her briefcase up in the air! We cut back to Charlie St. Haven, devastated at ringside as we fade!

WINNER: KAITLIN WILLIAMS
RESULT: BRIEFCASE SECURED

[Kai Morgan]

Another video package airs with earlier today plastered across the screen, this time with an italic font and some stars that twinkle before flying away off screen in a cosmic animation. As the video fades into focus from the darkness the sound of the hustle and bustle of the fans attending Destiny III’s Weekend are seen. Thousands of fans are attending as they walk towards the arena so they can meet some of their favourite stars. The camera however floats over the crowd and slowly down in one sweeping shot before arriving at ground level with Wasteland star CTO. She grins excitedly before throwing her hands up into the air and screams at the camera…

CTO: DESTINY III HERE. I. COME!!!!!

CTO turns and begins to walk towards the arena as the picture changes with another cosmic Woosh as stars engulf the screen. We see CTO sitting in the actual ring for Destiny III looking up at the Stage entrance of the arena where the talent will be walking out. Hovering next to her is a u.f.o like drone which is just bobbing up and down… CTO turns to it and grins.

CTO: This looks so cool, Aero! Could you imagine us walking out tomorrow night through that! The crowd exploding with joy as our music hit?

CTO sighed a little in disappointment.

CTO: Maybe next year, this year we will just have to work extra hard and earn our place.

The drone now known as Aero beeps and boops in response to CTO before circling around her excitedly before flying over the ropes and up the ramp way.

CTO: Hey! Where are you go going?! Don’t wander off too far!

Cosmic Tora Onna gives chase to Aero which leads her through winding corridors before reaching once again where all the fans are meeting their favourite Zion Wrestling superstars. The picture changes to Cosmic Holding Aero now almost to keep him grounding so they do not fly away again. While doing that she is meeting fans of all shapes and sizes and taking pictures with them and signing autographs, excited people are recognizing her.

CTO is next seen in another shot eating some food before going back out there meeting more fans while also being simultaneously in awe of everything going on around her. Various split screens appear showing different shots of CTO. One with her photobombing various talents pictures with fans in the background before getting chased off. Another showing her queuing up to get autographs with some talent as well, who all look at her like she is weird. Another shows her talking to Aero once again. Lastly it shows CTO sitting down on the floor looking a little exhausted from her day but as night falls, it looks to only begin as doors open for the biggest show of the year Destiny III!

The picture then fades from the video package to a spot in the live crowd, CTO is seen sat with the fans who are cheering her as she stands on a chair with her arms up in the air. Aero is hovering next to her excitedly while CTO blows kisses.

CTO: WOOOOOO!! LETS GO DESTINY!!

The Destiny III cameras return to ringside where the next match is about to get announced…

[Kai Morgan]

A loud purrrrrrrrrring engine can be heard from somewhere in the arena. The chorus of "Wreak Havoc" by Skylar Grey begins the play. Suddenly, a motorcycle burst from backstage. It stops at the top of the ramp, the person driving the motorcycle briefly takes off her helmet, revealing herself to be Abigail Lindsay.

She places the helmet back on and drives down to the ringside area. She circles the ring twice. The bike comes to a halt. Serenity slides off, takes off her helmet. She hops on the apron apron, proving how flexible she is she lifts one leg off, then drops down in a full split. She slides under the bottom rope. She slumps down into the corner waiting for the match to start.

Seconds after the music fell to silence, the lights around the stage went dark. Slowly a familiar track began to play, a few skips thrown in from a now glowing dj table which brought some cheers in anticipation of what’s to come. The familiar song continued on, the stage now illuminating with an altered version of the Street Fighter IV fighter selection screen,though the entrance area itself remained dark.

DJ: 偽女王よ！偽女王よ！

The DJ continues on, hyping up the crowd as the selection process begins again after having selected a decent rendering of Abigail Lindsay as the challenger. Some even yell along as he calls out to the now annoyed self proclaimed queen of the wasteland once again.

DJ: 偽女王よ！偽女王よ！真のラスボスにひれ伏す！

Finally the second selection is made and the entrance area brightens to show the Zion Wrestling Ascension Champion Lily Blaise. A devious smirk on her face, while she’s being showered in adoration and cheers from the fans she’s cloaked in an all too familiar and far more villainous looking cape. Not to mention that boss hat. Her opposition in the ring seems less than amused but a mic filled hand appearing from the cape oh so carefully shows that the champion has a few things to get off her chest before this all important defense.

Lily Blaise: Abigail, Abigail, faux queen of the ring. For you, tonight when Lily Blaise graces you with an Ascension Championship opportunity you’ll fail will be the most important day of your life you mess up.

The young champion’s gaze looks up to meet her challenger’s, making sure the whites of her eyes are seen as she continues.

Lily Blaise: But for me? It’ll be just another Saturday.

Tossing aside the mic and cape to reveal her psycho powered super boss inspired leotard, Lily laughs maniacally as the Theme of M. Bison/Vega (SF IV Arrange) begins to truly play. Abigail looks like she’s about to throw a fit, the official having to hold back the challenger as the champion makes her way down towards the ring. Fans cheer Blaise on as she hops up onto the apron, removing the Ascension title from around her waist and raising it proudly with her right hand. Lily then drapes the title on her shoulder and enters the ring over the middle rope, her full focus placed on her challenger for the evening.

Crybaby: The following contest is scheduled for one fall… and is for the Zion Wrestling Ascension Championship! Introducing first…from Asheville, North Carolina… weighing in tonight at one hundred and fifty five pounds… representing The Kingdom… she is… ABIGAIL… LIIIIIINDSAY!

Abigail takes a moment and poses for the crowd before going back to the corner as Crybaby begins her announcement again.

Crybaby: And her opponent…from Hazleton, Pennsylvania… weighing in tonight one hundred and sixty five pounds. She is the reigning and defending Zion Wrestling Ascension Champion… She is “Pro Wrestling Glamour”... She is! LILY!… BLAAAIIIISSEEE!

Lily takes a moment to look around at the crowd before raising her championship high before the official comes to collect the championship. Lily looks at it for what may be the final time before handing it to the official who walks over to Abigail's corner, showing her the championship before returning to the center of the ring and raising it high, before handing it to Crybaby who walks over to the timekeeper's area. The official then checks on both of them, asking if they’re ready before they ring the bell!

The bell rings and Lily and Abigail circle one another, as Abigail goes to lock up with Lily, Lily goes behind Abigail and rolls her up, going for a quick win!

ONE!

KICKOUT!

Abigail gets the shoulder up almost instantly, going to grab Lily who ducks underneath and hits the ropes, coming in and hitting a running headscissors on Abigail that sends her to the mat! Lily is quick to continue the offense, hitting the ropes and nailing Abigail with a single leg dropkick that drops Lindsay to the mat, and she makes another quick pin attempt!

ONE!

T- KICKOUT!

Kickout at one again by Abigail. Lily pulls Abigail up to her feet and hits her with a spinning sole kick to the midsection that doubles Abigail over, before then hitting her with a kick to the chest that brings her back to a standing position, then finally with a discus forearm that drops her into the corner once more, and Lily seems to be in firm control of this match here in the early stages!

Lily picks Abigail up again and goes to hit her with a forearm, but Abigail is able to duck out of the way, hitting Lily with a forearm of her own! Then another, and one more to top it off that backs Lily into the corner! Abigail hits her with knees to the midsection that leaves Lily seated in the corner, before Abigail then shoots for the ropes and comes back, nailing Lily with a running boot scrape! Abigail then pulls Lily out of the corner and hooks the leg, looking for a pin!

ONE!

T- KICKOUT!

Lily throws her shoulder up defiantly at one and a quarter. Abigail wastes little time, picking her up and shooting her off the ropes and nails her with a kitchen sink that doubles Lily over, before then hitting the ropes and nailing Lily with a massive knee lift that connects with the side of Lily’s head that floors Blaise! Lily gets up to a knee only for Abigail to pick her up and hit a nasty forearm that wobbles her, shooting her off the ropes and hits a back elbow to Lily that drops her to her back, and Abigail follows up with an elbow drop to the chest of Blaise before hooking the leg once more!

ONE!

TW- KICKOUT!

Another defiant kickout from Lily. Abigail pulls Lily to her feet before hitting her with another forearm barrage that rocks her before shooting off towards the ropes, leaping up and springboarding off to hit Lily with the New Eden Springboard DDT…

BUT LILY COUNTERS, NAILING ABIGAIL WITH A BICYCLE KNEE AS SHE SPRINGS TOWARDS HER THAT SEEMINGLY TURNS OFF THE LIGHTS FOR ABIGAIL!

Lily is quick to capitalize on this opening, grabbing Lindsay and absolutely PLANTING her with a snap Headlock Driver! Abigail crumples to the mat and Lily is quick to make the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

T- KICKOUT!

A kickout at two and a half by Abigail! Lily looks down at her and the frustrations are slowly starting to boil over. Lily picks up Abigail and hits her with a spinning backfist before taking off against the ropes, she comes back in and is able to drop Abigail with a Wheelbarrow facebuster! Abigail rolls out to the ring apron, Lily sees this and pulls herself up to her feet, taking off against the ring ropes and running towards Abigail, seemingly looking to hit her with a running spear to the floor… but Abigail gets a knee up! Lily is rocked and wobbles backwards but comes charging in again and Abigail catches her with a forearm strike that rocks Lily again! Abigail senses an opening here and hops into the ring again over the top rope, she ducks the line that Lily throws and continues running, jumping and springing off the ropes AS SHE CONNECTS WITH THE SERENE KICK!

THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK ABSOLUTELY FLOORS LILY AND ABIGAIL MAKES THE COVER!

KICKOUT BY LILY!

Lily throws the shoulder up at two and a half! Abigail smells blood in the water here and picks up Lily and shoots her into the corner, blasting her with a chop across the chest before grabbing Lily and throwing her to the ma.

Then Abigail looks around, before turning to begin to climb up the turnbuckles… BUT LILY IS BACK ON HER FEET! Lily now leaps and hits Abigail with a clubbing blow to the back of Abigail. Lily then climbs between the ropes and begins to climb the turnbuckles on the other side, and the pair now begin to trade blows on the top rope! Abigail seemingly gets the upper hand with Lily nearly falling back, BUT SHE COMES BACK AND NAILS ABIGAIL WITH A NASTY HEADBUTT! Abigail is rocked here and Lily goes up to the top rope and lays into Abigail with blows to the head…

AND THEN LILY IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE ODE TO JOY! THE TOP ROPE POISONRANA CONNECTS AND THE LIGHT FOR ABIGAIL HAS SEEMINGLY GONE OUT!

RESULT: PINFALL (ODE TO JOY)

Darrion Hughes: "The following contest is a two out of three falls match! And it is for…The ZION WRESTLING QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE CHAMPIONSHIP!!"

As the lights of the arena dim down, a soft, orchestrated instrumental of Stratovarius’ “Unbreakable” begins to play as the video tron comes on with a photo reel depicting a young Yumi Akiyama through her school years. Each photo shows her in a sports uniform, anywhere from soccer, softball, track, swimming. Yumi is shown smiling brightly in each photo and so on as they transition into her career beginning as a referee. She is seen in the standard black and white striped shirt then later in the blue shirt of the Senior Official where she truly began to gain a following. One thing that can’t be missed is the presence of Yukiko Kusanagi in many of the pictures having her arm raised by Yumi inside an NFW ring. These pictures go on to show her then inside the gym and inside a training ring with world renowned wrestlers such as Stacy Jones, Amy Drew, along with Sanada, Ayu Megumi and Jessi Ozborne of the Queens of Chaos. Finally, the pictures begin to show her recent days of debuting as a wrestler in Zion, during the Queen of Strong Style Tournament. Her triumphs. Her eventual failure. The final photo depicts her standing on the stage in tears but with Zion owner, Kai Morgan, standing with an arm around her and smiling with a thumbs up to the fans who had been screaming for her to be signed. From there, the reel of photos ends and cuts to Yumi Akiyama, standing right in the foreground of the camera, inside the ring within a dark, empty arena, dressed in her ring and entrance gear. Her eyes open and she stares hard back at the viewers with a slow smile forming on her lips.

Yumi Akiyama: "Destiny. Here comes Yumi."



The tron wall goes dark for a few seconds as the music abruptly stops…then picks up again with the actual entrance version of “Unbreakable” as cherry blossom petals float down, not only across the screen but across the actual arena as well! Stratovarius' "Unbreakable" starts with the soft piano intro as the lights in the arena gradually dim down, bringing the focus to a spotlight on the stage. There, a woman stands on a platform, rising out of the floor, with her back to the ring, head down. As the music picks up, Yumi Akiyama gives a theatrical turn towards the audience and strikes a pose with one arm up and a bright smile on her face. She beams to the adoring crowd, waving and pointing back to them on the stage before beginning a brisk approach to the ring.

Darrion Hughes: "Introducing first, she is the challenger! From Chicago, Illinois, by way of Kyoto, Japan! Here Comes…YUMI…AKIIIIIYAMAAAAA!!!"

As Yumi reaches the end of the ramp, she circles around towards the ring steps where she touches the hands of fans on the way - children especially! She climbs the steps and runs along the apron where she climbs the turnbuckle on the opposite end, raising her arm again and throwing her hood off. There, she steps over the turnbuckle and moves to sit down across it. The camera pans in on her as she waves and blows a kiss before swinging her legs around down into the ring.

As a final show to the crowd, she crosses over to the opposite turnbuckle and climbs the turnbuckle to rile them up just a little more before sliding her robe off and dropping it to the outside attendant before hopping down and finding her corner.

Amber Westgate: "She looks as ready as she’ll ever be, doesn’t she?!"

Adam LaRue: "She’s grown a lot from the photo album we just saw but the question is has she grown enough to fell the Osaka Devil?"



Darkness covers the arena in its entirety as the low, ominous notes of “Pledge of Demon” begin to play as the foot of the ramp lights up with low torches, slowly coming to life, heading up towards the stage. As the flames reach the top of the ramp, they begin to spread out along the edges of the stage, the LED wall lights up with the Queens of Chaos logo and a light pierces out from a hole in the stage as, at about the 1:25 mark in the track, smoke rises up from within as Yukiko Kusanagi, quite literally, rises up on a lift, garbed in a magnificent white kimono with crimson designs that make it hard to tell if they’re flower petals or droplets of blood. As soon as the lift brings her upon the stage, she tilts her head back, face obscured by a matching Hannya mask and throws her arms out, displaying the Queen of Strong Style Championship around her waist as the torches on the ramp and stage suddenly shoot up as if on her command right on the guitar drop. The crowd roars in awe as she brings one hand in to remove her mask, revealing her terrifyingly painted face and turns her gaze upon the ring. The flames on the ramp quickly snuff out as she begins to walk down the ramp, yet the flames on the stage remain and begin to pulse like flame throwers, casting a terrifying visual as the Osaka Devil marches towards the ring with the extended tails of her kimono flowing across the ramp behind her.

Darrion Hughes: "Her opponent! From Osaka, Japan! Representing the Queens of Chaos! She is the Queen of Strong Style Champion…THE OSAKA DEVIL…YUKIKOOOOOOOO…KUSAAAAAANAAAGIIIIIIII!!"

Amber Westgate: "How’s that for an entrance, Adam LaRue?!"

Adam LaRue: "Oh man, that has to be terrifying if you’re in the ring, watching this come your way!"

Yukiko makes it to the end of the ramp as “Pledge Of Demon” swells throughout the arena and creeps up the steps, before climbing up to pose on the turnbuckles. She raises her mask up first as she unclasps the title from around her waist. Then, as she brings the mask down, she lifts the title up, brandishing it to the audience…and her opponent, as she looks down at her from the ring post. Yukiko climbs down into the ring as her music fades and just grins evilly across from her at Yumi Akiyama as her music fades.

The referee takes the title from her and brings it over to show Yumi. The title is then held up in the center of the ring as Yukiko removes her entrance gear. Yukiko and Yumi stand in their opposing corners as the referee hands the title to the outside, staring daggers at each other.

Amber Westgate: "Two out of three falls for the Queen of Strong Style Championship. Here! We! Go!"



The Dallas crowd gets into this one early, knowing they’re about to see a Strong Style banger. They even start a rhythmic clap, more often heard from Japanese crowds as Yukiko and Yumi step from their corners and begin circling around on the mat. Neither woman is too fast to jump into the mix as Yumi watches Yukiko carefully. Like someone facing down a primal predator. Yukiko’s painted smile widens even more as she herself casts a wicked grin at the girl in front of her. She steps forward and throws a kick at the legs. Yumi hops back, avoiding the strike. Yukiko throws another. This time, Yumi lifts her leg and takes it in the side of the calf, absorbing the brunt of it. Yukiko feigns an all out lunge and Yumi readies for a lockup but Yukiko quickly changes direction and drops her guard, backing off and strutting away from her. Yumi gets flustered, putting her hands on her hips.

Crowd: "BOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Amber Westgate: "The mindgames from Yukiko Kusanagi. Unmatched, you could dare say."

Adam LaRue: "Yumi Akiyama will have to harden her mind or the Osaka Devil’s gonna get inside it and pick it apart, bit by bit."

Yumi huffs in frustration, calling for Yukiko to stop playing games and fight her. Yukiko laughs, stepping back towards her and they circle up again. Yumi goes for another lockup but Yukiko backs off, shaking her head and waves dismissively at her. She leans on the ropes, propping an arm on the top and blows on her nails, rubbing them on her gear top. Yumi tries to storm over but as Yukiko is on the ropes, the referee has to keep Yumi back from her. Yukiko turns and leans fully back against the ropes, shaking with laughter at her opponent. The referee reasons with Yukiko that this is a match and they have to fight. Yukiko rolls her eyes and throws her hands up in surrender, nodding as she comes back to the center of the ring. Once again, the two circle up and this time, after a moment of tension, the lockup happens! Yumi and Yukiko tie up, collar & elbow. They jockey for position and Yukiko gets Yumi into a side headlock. Yumi tries to pull her head free and shove her off but Yukiko drops down to a knee and wrenches tight. She stands back up and goes for a Side Headlock Takeover but this time it’s Yumi who drops to a knee, redistributing her bodyweight. Yukiko reaffirms her grip on Yumi’s head but Yumi wraps her arms around her waist and lifts her off her feet, stumbling back into the ropes. Yukiko almost goes over but reaches with one hand to grab the top rope and keep herself from a nasty fall. It’s what Yumi needs, though, as Yukiko finds her feet again and she shoves the champion off of her. Yumi bounces off the ropes and runs in. Yukiko hits a dropdown at Yumi’s feet and she jumps - no, she cartwheels over her! Yukiko springs up to her feet to find Yumi running at her again and takes her over with a Japanese Armdrag. Both women spring to their feet and Yumi comes in again. Yukiko hits a regular Armdrag this time. They pop up again. Yukiko catches Yumi with another Armdrag. And another Armdrag! And another Armdrag! Yukiko hits another Armdrag and keeps a hold of the arm this time, looking for a Fujiwara Armbar but Yumi’s able to roll through before Yukiko can swing her leg around and, instead, she catches Yukiko into a Headscissors, forcing Yukiko to let her arm go as she slips her head free before it’s fully locked in. Yukiko kips up to her feet and goes for a Senton but Yumi rolls clear and hops to her feet as Yukiko lands hard on the mat. Yumi goes for a Somersault Senton and Yukiko rolls clear, pops up and looks for a Roundhouse Kick as Yumi sits up but she lays back and Yukiko’s leg soars over! Yumi reaches up and grabs her down into a Schoolgirl Cradle but Yukiko rolls through and clear, before the referee can even drop for the count and catches Yumi with a Basement Dropkick before she can scout it.

Amber Westgate: "And just like that, the battle for the advantage comes to a screeching halt!"

Adam LaRue: "You gotta watch out for Yukiko Kusanagi! She’s a slippery one!"

Yukiko gets back to her feet and snatches Yumi by the wrist as she’s up on all fours and traps her arm with her legs, taking her down into a Magistral Cradle.

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT BY YUMI!

Both women pop up again and step in for another lockup. This time, Yukiko immediately throws on a Wristlock. Yumi reaches for the reversal but Yukiko torques her wrist, forcing her hand to open where Yukiko grabs one of her fingers and starts bending it back. Yumi screams in pain and the referee warns Yukiko about the small joints. Yukiko gives the finger a POP as she lets go and Yumi grabs her hand. As she nurses her hand, Yukiko steps in, looking for a DDT but Yumi has the foresight to grab her behind the legs and yank her down to the mat where she flips over into a bridge, keeping the legs hooked!

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT BY YUKIKO!

Amber Westgate: "Both women trying to get that first fall early, folks. Remember, this is two out of three. You need to pin or submit your opponent twice to win."

Adam LaRue: "A lot of mental advantage can go to the competitor who gets that first fall, Amber."

Yukiko and Yumi hop back up and step in again. This time Yukiko hits Yumi with a backhand Chop to the chest. Yumi hisses in pain but she answers back with Knife Edge Chop of her own. Yukiko eats it and throws another chop. Yumi answers back with another chop and Yukiko comes back with a forearm. Another forearm! Another forearm! She flies into a flurry of Open Hand Palm Strikes. Yumi’s looking rocked as Yukiko gets her back into the ropes and whips her off. Yumi comes back in but jumps and turns, throwing her ass into Yukiko’s chest, hitting a Cazadora as Yukiko catches her around the waist. Yumi pushes off the mat with her hands and catches Yukiko back around the head, pulling her down into a Snapmare. Yukiko rolls over into a sitting position and Yumi comes rushing in with a Rolling Neck Snap on the champion! Yukiko falls back onto the mat and Yumi’s up onto her feet, immediately grabbing her by the legs where she starts administering an Inverted Figure 4 Leglock. Yukiko struggles against it but Yumi gets the setup, though she realizes she’s too early for a full-on submission….so instead, she turns again with their legs tangled together and arches her body back over Yukiko, folding the Osaka Devil up onto the mat! That’s a cover and a tight one! The ref drops down!

ONE!

Yukiko struggles hard against it!

TWO!

She can’t get out!!!!!

THREE!!!!

Crowd: "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"



Amber Westgate: "OH MY GOD!!"

Adam LaRue: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

Yumi releases the cover and rolls away from Yukiko in shock as the bell sounds. Yukiko sits right up in absolute disbelief.

Darrion Hughes: "Yumi Akiyama has scored her first fall!!"

Amber Westgate: "Yukiko Kusanagi cannot believe it!! I don’t think Yumi Akiyama can either!"

Adam LaRue: "If this were a regular match, we would have a new champion right now!"

Crowd: "HOLY SHIT!!
HOLY SHIT!!
HOLY SHIT!!
HOLY SHIT!!"

Yumi Akiyama: 1

Yukiko Kusanagi: 0

Yumi starts to collect herself, telling herself she needs to calm down and breathe and not get ahead of herself. Yukiko is absolutely FUMING! Her disbelief has been replaced by pure rage as she rises to her feet and rushes Yumi as she’s collecting her thoughts. Yumi only has time to try to cover up with her arms as Yukiko flies into an onslaught of more Open Hand Palm Strikes, backing her into a corner of the ring where she clinches up with her and throws a series of knees up at her.

Amber Westgate: "Yumi Akiyama got a good start on this match but she may be subject to the Devil’s wrath now!"

Adam LaRue: "Yukiko Kusanagi’s been saying that Yumi Akiyama would never defeat her but she was just proven that that is definitely a possibility!"

In Yukiko’s blind rage, she keeps on throwing knees until the referee warns her about getting her opponent out of the corner. She does so but only by pressing Yumi’s face to the ropes and dragging it across. Yumi screams as her skin is run along the rope material. The referee yells at Yukiko again and she lets Yumi go, snapping in Japanese at the official before going right to Yumi before she can collect herself. A kick to the midsection and a Snap DDT spikes Yumi’s head into the mat and Yukiko rolls her over for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

YUMI KICKS OUT!

Yukiko sits up and curses, pulling Yumi up to her feet. She hooks her up for a Fisherman Suplex and sends her back, crashing onto the mat, bridging at the end!

ONE!

TWO!

ANOTHER KICKOUT BY YUMI!

Yukiko slaps the mat again as Yumi crawls to the ropes and tries to pull herself up but the raging Osaka Devil is right there, pressing her knee against the back of her shoulders, choking her on the middle rope. The referee starts counting as Yukiko rocks her knee against Yumi’s back, shaking her throat on the ropes until the count of 4 before stepping out onto the apron. With a furious scream, Yukiko runs along the apron and hits a Running Big Boot to the side of Yumi’s head as she’s draped over the middle rope and sends her flopping back onto the mat! Yumi lays on the mat, gasping for air as Yukiko sets up on the apron and hits a Slingshot Senton across her torso! She lays back for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

YUMI GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Yukiko sits up, grabbing her hair and lets out a blood curdling shriek of pure hatred. Yukiko begins to pant heavily as her burning rage washes away into something else and a different look comes over her. She almost seems to come to terms with something as…she laughs softly. Yukiko slowly, calmly, gets to her feet and stands over Yumi who writhes in pain on the mat from the savage beating she was just subject to. Yukiko motions for her to get up and lightly kicks her.

Yukiko Kusanagi: "Okite, Akiyama-chan."

She kicks at her again.

Yukiko Kusanagi: "Okite… Okite!!"

She places her foot on Yumi and starts to shake her leg, violently trembling her opponent on the mat as she holds the top rope. The referee forces her back and Yukiko leans down, placing her hands on her knees.

Yukiko Kusanagi: "Anata wa kore ga hoshikatta! Okite!!!!"

Adam LaRue: "You speak Japanese, Amber?"

Amber Westgate: "I do not, but if I had to guess, it sounds like the champion is telling the challenger to bring it."

The referee tries to check on Yumi some more as she starts to sit up but Yukiko doesn’t have the patience and grabs her, pulling her to the center of the mat onto her feet. Yukiko steps back for a second before lunging in and taking Yumi down to the mat with ”N.I.B. (STO)” and locks on a Grounded Sleeper Hold. The referee checks for a submission from Yumi but the young Lionheart of a woman adamantly refuses to give up so easily as she struggles against the hold she’s in. Yukiko has the hold on tight as she starts taunting Yumi in her ear. So low the camera can’t even hear her. Whatever she’s saying, though, seems to be enough to turn the tides as Yumi’s face turns angry and determined again and she clenches her fists, arms starting to shake as the crowd claps to get behind her. Yumi starts fighting against Yukiko’s Sleeper more adamantly and manages to sit up. Yukiko starts to look a little unsure of what’s happening as Yumi forces them both up to their feet and starts fighting against the hold, turning sideways and throwing elbows into Yukiko’s midsection. This softens the Osaka Devil up enough that Yumi’s able to slide her head free. The crowd starts cheering as Yumi begins to throw repeated right hands at Yukiko, sending her back into the ropes! Yumi dashes away from her, running off the opposite side and comes in like a bullet but Yukiko explodes off the ropes and suddenly twists around, throwing her leg up. ”STEEL FEATHER (BLACK MASS KICK)” BUT NO!!!! YUMI DUCKS IT!!!! SHE HITS THE ROPES BEHIND YUKIKO!!! THE OSAKA DEVIL TURNS RIGHT INTO A RUNNING SUPERKICK TO THE JAW BY YUMI!!!!!Yukiko crumples down to the mat!! Yumi falls over her for the cover. She hooks the leg up for good measure!

ONE!

TWO!

TH–

KICKOUT BY YUKIKO!!

Yumi sits up, grabbing her head but breathes deep as Yukiko rolls over onto her front to avoid another pinning attempt. Yumi presses her hands together and leans her forehead against them, taking a second before she sees Yukiko still down so she hurries out onto the apron and waits as she calls for the finish!

Amber Westgate: "Yumi Akiyama’s ready to put this away!"

Adam LaRue: "She tried this maneuver the last time she and Yukiko Kusanagi faced off! It didn’t bode well for her!"

Amber Westgate: "She didn’t have Yukiko as rocked as she did last time!"

Yumi watches as Yukiko starts to get up. It’s worth noting that she doesn’t make any verbal noise like shouting at her this time. She just bounces on her feet and waits as Yukiko makes it up, and looks at her just as she hops up onto the top rope and springboards off! She comes down with that arm cocked for ”DEATH FROM ABOVE (PHENOMENAL FOREARM)” but Yukiko SPINS OUT AND CATCHES HER ACROSS THE JAW WITH THE ”STEEL FEATHER (BLACK MASS KICK)!!!!!!”

Adam LaRue: "And that’s exactly what happened last time, Amber!!! I told you!!!!"

Amber Westgate: "You gotta give it to the awareness of the champion, ladies and gentlemen!!"

Yukiko wastes no time and it’s almost like a mirror image compared to their last one on one face off as she pulls Yumi to her feet, hooks the arms and lifts her feet up to spike her head into the mat! ”KURO GISHIKI [BLACK SABBATH] (DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER)!!!!” Yukiko covers!!!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!



Darrion Hughes: "Yukiko Kusanagi has scored her first fall!"

Amber Westgate: "Now she needs to be extra careful!"

Adam LaRue: "And Yukiko Kusanagi can relax a little more as she’s halfway to retaining her title!"

Yumi Akiyama: 1

Yukiko Kusanagi:1

Yukiko sits up out of the cover and laughs softly, dusting her hands off.

Amber Westgate: "You ain’t finished yet champ! Don’t get cocky!"

Adam LaRue: "She’s got that second wind back, Amber!"

Yukiko rises to her feet and pulls Yumi up. She hooks an arm over her head, drags her thumb across her throat. She starts to look for another ”Kuro Gishiki” but Yumi pulls her arms free, comes up and takes her in the jaw with a forearm! Yukiko staggers and Yumi kicks her in the midsection! She pulls her head in between her legs and lifts her up!! She’s going for ”Danger Zone (Styles Clash)!!” Before she can get her legs over Yukiko’s arms, however, Yukiko wraps her arms around them and pulls one leg free. Two legs free! She stands up with Yumi upside down across her back!! Whips her back down onto the mat with an Alabama Slam!!! Yumi hits the mat hard and sits up on the recoil. Yukiko comes running in for ”The Wizard (Shining Wizard)”!! Shades of her friend Roni Ozborn but Yumi evades it and takes Yukiko down with a Drop Toehold!! She throws one leg up over Yukiko’s neck,, locking her hands around her jaw! YUMI AKIYAMA locks YUKIKO KUSANAGI into her own maneuver ”THE ULTIMATE SIN (KOJI CLUTCH)!!!” Yukiko’s eyes go wide as she screams in pain, almost panicking! Yumi’s got this move locked in tight almost like she practiced it just for this occasion!!

Amber Westgate: "You wanna talk about The Ultimate Sin?! Imagine if Yumi Akiyama can tap Yukiko Kusanagi out with her own move!"

Adam LaRue: "Can you imagine the headlines and social media tomorrow?!"

Yumi wrenches back tight on that hold, sending Yukiko into a panic as she tries to reach for the ropes but she’s nowhere near close enough! The referee’s down beside her, looking for a sign of submission from the champion but she’s holding out as best she can! Just when it looks like she’s about to give in, she throws her weight around and manages to roll both herself and Yumi over. She kicks her legs back, stacking herself over Yumi and gets Yumi’s shoulders pinned to the mat!

ONE!

TWO!

TH—

YUMI LETS GO OF THE HOLD TO KICK OUT!

Yukiko rolls out of the ring, onto the apron as both she and Yumi get to their feet. Yumi steps in and Yukiko catches her with a forearm to the jaw. Yumi rocks back but gives Yukiko one right back! Yumi gives her another, pulling on the top rope to really give herself some extra momentum into it. Yumi stumbles back and Yukiko goes to launch herself through the ropes for a spear but Yumi catches her around the head halfway through! She steps back, hanging Yukiko’s feet on the middle rope. Let’s out a triumphant cry! ”ROPE HUNG DDT!!!!” Yukiko lies motionless on the mat as Yumi rises and pulls her up into position!! She sets her feet!! ”DANGER ZONE (STYLES CLASH)!!!” SHE GETS IT!!! ROLLS THROUGH FOR THE COVER!!!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

NO!!! YUKIKO KICKS OUT JUST BARELY!!

Yumi falls back onto the mat, covering her face with her hands in despair!!

Amber Westgate: "So close!"

Adam LaRue: "She almost had it!!"

Crowd: "FIGHT FOREVER!”
Clap-clap-clapclapclap
“FIGHT FOREVER!”
Clap-clap-clapclapclap
“FIGHT FOREVER!”
Clap-clap-clapclapclap
“FIGHT FOREVER!”
Clap-clap-clapclapclap

Yumi and Yukiko both slowly sit up as the Dallas fans continue to blow the roof off the place! They stare back at each other, panting heavily, glistening in sweat. Yukiko’s face paint is all but mostly smeared and wiped clean from her face. She makes it up onto her knees, as does Yumi. The two lean in, pressing their foreheads together as they stare daggers into each other’s eyes. Yukiko hisses through her teeth as she grabs Yumi by the back of the head and just takes her in the jaw with a forearm smash. Yumi rocks back but catches herself on the mat with her hand to keep herself vertical on her knees and she throws one right back at Yukiko. Yukiko almost falls back but also catches herself and throws another right back at Yumi. Yumi rocks back but stays up and smashes Yukiko again. Yukiko smashes Yumi back. Yumi smashes one right back into Yukiko and the two Joshi start violently trading back and forth! They start rising up to their feet, still trading blows. Yukiko sends Yumi back into the ropes with a particularly stiff Forearm and Yumi uses the momentum to come right back and rock the absolute fuck out of Yukiko with another! Yukiko bounds off the ropes, comes running in but, instead of going for another forearm, she comes leaping in with a Flying Triangle Choke, taking Yumi Akiyama down into the submission!!! Yumi pounds at her leg, trying desperately to fight her off as she looks to begin fading fast.

Adam LaRue: "I don’t think Yumi Akiyama can hold on much longer!"

Amber Westgate: "The Osaka Devil is an expert at these submissions! She’s put so many away with them!"

Adam LaRue: "There Goes Yumi! Good night!"

It seems that way but no!!!! Yumi leans herself forward, forcing Yukiko’s shoulders onto the mat!!

ONE!

Amber Westgate: "Wait a minute!!"

TWO!

Adam LaRue: "Are you kidding me?!"

THREE!!

NOOOOOO!! YUKIKO JUST BARELY KICKS OUT AS SHE RELEASES THE HOLD!

Yumi stumbles back into the ropes but she comes running back in like a bullet train and launches herself off the mat, right at Yukiko with ”SHINING WIZARD!!” Cover again!!

ONE!

TWO!

A BIT OF A FASTER KICKOUT BY YUKIKO!!!

Yumi rolls up onto her knees and buries her head against the mat, tapping the canvas with her fists to keep herself psyched up before getting to her feet. She grabs Yukiko again and reaches for her to setup for another ”Danger Zone” but this time Yukiko sweeps Yumi’s legs out from under her with her arms and starts setting up for a Sharpshooter. But Yumi gets one leg free and shoves Yukiko into the ropes! Yumi rolls up to her feet, grabs Yukiko and goes to whip her into the ropes. She sends her running and throws herself back off the ropes on the other side, rushing across the ring to meet her with another Superkick but instead of coming back off the ropes, Yukiko hops up and springs back off of them, catching Yumi for a Tornado DDT–NO! She lands on her feet and quickly hooks the arms!! Another ”KURO GISHIKI!!” She covers!!

ONE!

……

TWO!

……

THREE!!!

….

NO!! NOT THREE!! YUMI THROWS HER SHOULDER UP JUST BARELY!!!!

Yukiko sits up in shock as Dallas lets out a deafening roar!!!! Nobody can believe what just happened but they’re here for it!!!!

Amber Westgate: "Yumi Akiyama just kicked out of “Black Sabbath!”"

Yukiko drags herself to her feet and pulls Yumi by the hair, over to the corner where she lays her back against the turnbuckle before moving across the ring to the opposite corner. She grins wickedly and licks her middle and index fingers, dragging them down her chin, over her chest and stomach, down to her crotch where she thrusts her hips out as a taunt and comes running in at top speed!!! Yukiko dives in!!! ”GYRATING BRONCO BUST—” NO!! Yumi barely rolls out of the way, onto the apron and Yukiko crashes into the turnbuckle!!! Yumi pulls herself up, holding onto the rope to keep her battered body vertical! She climbs up onto the top from the outside and sets herself steady before reaching down and grabbing Yukiko up, pulling her head under her legs.

Adam LaRue: "Amber what the hell is Yumi Akiyama doing?!"

Amber Westgate: "If I had to guess, Adam, I would say…no, she’s not gonna… No way!!"

Yumi is very clearly setting up for a ”Danger Zone” from the turnbuckles as she starts to lift Yukiko upside down. Yukiko’s able to reach up and grab onto the top rope, preventing Yumi from hooking her legs over her arms and wriggles enough that she can get her feet back down on the middle rope. She slides her head free and comes up with a forearm smash to the jaw! Yumi rocks, warily on the turnbuckles but punches Yukiko right back. Yukiko punches her back! Yumi punches her back! Finally, Yukiko grabs Yumi by the head and drives her forehead into her face with a headbutt! Yumi slumps and Yukiko hooks her arms, bending her forward! ”BURADDI KURO GISHIKI [BLOODY BLACK SABBATH] (AVALANCHE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER)!!!!”

ONE!

……

TWO!

……

THREE?!?!

….

YES!! THREE!!!



Adam LaRue: "That’s it!"

Amber Westgate: "After a hell of a war!!! It’s over!!!"

Darrion Hughes: "Here is your winner…..AND STILL…THE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE CHAMPION…”THE OSAKA DEVIL”....YUKIKOOOOOOO KUSAAAAANAAAGIIIIIIII!!!"

“Pledge Of Demon” fills the arena again as Yukiko and Yumi both lay on the mat, absolutely spent. The referee brings the Queen of Strong Style Championship over but can only lay it across Yukiko’s chest to let her know it’s over. Instinctively, she weakly lays an arm over it as if to confirm that it’s there. Ring crew come in to check on both women as they slowly start to show signs of life. Yumi is helped carefully out of the ring as Yukiko just settles back into the corner and sits there, panting, holding her title over her chest.

Amber Westgate: "Adam LaRue…I think we can both agree…"

Adam LaRue: "...What! A Match!!!"

Amber Westgate: "Absolutely!"

As Yukiko’s music fills the arena, she looks over at Darrion Hughes and motions him over, taking the microphone in her hand. Her music fades for a moment as she brings the microphone to her mouth.

Yukiko Kusanagi: "...Oi…Oi!! Akiyama-chan…!!"

Hearing her name over the PA, Yumi stops and turns towards the ring. A look of defeat and dejectedness on her face. She watches as the retaining champion slowly pulls herself up onto her feet and leans back against the turnbuckle.

Yukiko Kusanagi: "....Anata wa takusan seichō shimashita... Anata wa seichō shi tsudzukemasu... Anata ga mōsukoshi seichōshita-go... Futatabi watashi no tokoro ni kite kudasai…"

As she says this, she takes the Queen of Strong Style Championship and holds it outward. Yumi’s face goes from that sad look of defeat to that same look of determination before as a tear trickles down her face. She nods to the champion as “Pledge Of Demon” kicks on again and we fade from the celebration.

WINNER: YUKIKO KUSANAGI (#ANDSTILL)
RESULT: PINFALL (BURADDI KURO GISHIKI)

Vivian Blake: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL.

Crowd: ONE FALL!!



Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

Vivian Blake: Introducing first, hailing from London, England. She is ‘The Siren’ DIAMOND STEEEEELE!



A pulsing beat of light flickers the stage and the fans in hues of pink. It flashes, before the howling starting notes of "Strawberry Shake" by POP LEVI reverberate through the PA system.

AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The beat increases, as "Strawberry Shake" gets into its energetic beat. Razzles Mars excitedly rushes out past the velvet lined curtains, a lollipop's stick seen prodding from between her lips. She bounces on the stage, hands clapping in time with the beat, hyping up the crowd.

Vivian Blake: On her way to the ring, hailing from The Candy Kingdom, weighing in at…

She pauses, some visible confusion on her face leading to Razzles, who is half-way down the ramp watching with wide eyes, nodding and encouraging Blake.

Razzles Mars: You got this, mate! Out with it! You can do it!


Vivian Blake: 13,607.771 sugar packets... this is Raaaaaazzzzzzzles Maaaaarrsss!

Razzles Mars: YOU DID IT!

She calls out excitedly from outside of the ring, undoing the attachments of her entrance jacket and skirt. She collects a few high fives from the fans in attendance, before excitedly climbing the stairs. Taking a moment to pose for pictures before bending into the ring through the ropes, rebounding herself off the bottom rope to catapult herself into the center of the ring and is greeted by a charging Steele with a stiff clothesline before Razzles is even ready! The referee calls for the bell, but Diamond’s got a jump on it.



Steele drops down to mount on top of the shaken Razzles, unleashing some big right hand s to try and get a quick jump on her former partner. Scrambling back to her feet, Diamond drags Razzles up as well, drilling her with a stiff European Uppercut across the jaw, before seizing her by the back of the hard, charging across and throwing Razzles over the top rope. Steele is proud of herself as she turns away, wiping her hands and showing she is ‘done’ with Mars, but the Candyland Princess skins the cat, flipping herself back into the ring, and now staring right at Diamond’s back with a cheeky grin on her face. Diamond turns back to see Razzles standing there, and Mars merely waves happily. A scowl crosses Diamond’s face and she charges Razzles, who drops down and yanks the top rope with her, sending Diamond tumbling over it and crashing down at ringside. As Diamond climbs back to her feet, Raazzles sizes her up, and then charges across, bounces back and leaps out through the ropes with a wicked suicide dive, diving into Steele and sending her crashing backwards into the barricade. Razzles is up first, and she walks along slapping hands with some fans and smiling at the fans inside the Cotton Bowl stadium. Finally Razzles turns back towards Diamond, strolling over towards her, and grabbing her by the scruff of the neck, she saunters forward and slams Diamond’s head down on the apron, before rolling her back into the ring. Hopping up onto the apron, Razzles sets her landing pad, and then slingshots in and planchas down across Diamond’s chest, before reaching back to hook a leg.

ONE...!

TWO...!

NO! Diamond forces a shoulder up. Razzles doesn’t seem too surprised, climbing back to her feet, and turning back around to grab Diamond by the back of her head, slamming a forearm into her face to keep her stunned and then pushing her to set her into a seated position in the corner. Climbing back to her feet, Razzles skips aay, and then turns back to her former friend, grinning before she charges in, looking for a Sliding D, but Diamond manages to push herself up and out of the corner enough to land a front dropkick to Razzle’s knee, and Mars crashes shoulder first into the middle turnbuckle! The impact Sends a gasp echoing around the arena, but it also brings a giant grin to Diamond’s face, as The Siren moves over, grabbing the wounded arm and wrapping it around the middle rope. She props her foot on the middle rope, pushing away with her foot even as she starts pulling on the arm, and drawing some cries of pain out of Razzles, while the referee steps in to break it with a count. The referee gets to four before Diamond releases her, backing up with both hands raised and a growing smirk stretching her lips. Razzles manages to untangle herself, rolling away from the ropes a little, but Diamond is right back on her, shoving Razzles face down on the mat, keeping her pinned down with one foot on her shoulder, allowing her to stretch out Razzles wounded arm, before Steele leaps and drops a knee on it. Diamond seems to be enjoying herself right now, and she pulls Razzles up, lifting Razzles up over her shoulder, and then driving her down with a shoulder-breaker to her knee, letting Razzles crash to the mat before Diamond covers with a single leg hooked.

ONE...!

T-NO!

Razzles manages to kick out, and Diamond is starting to breathe hard as she climbs to her feet, seizing Razzles by the wounded arm, pulling her up into a back suplex, but adding a hammerlock to the bad arm and dropping Razzles right on the damaged limb. Diamond flips Razzles onto her stomach, seizing her arm and giving a wide grin out at the audience as she starts to set up for her Shipwrecked but Razzles can sense its coming and squirms away, managing to hook a foot over the bottom rope. There’s a scowl on Diamond’s face as she lets go of Razzles arm, taking a step around in front of her former friend and screaming at her. Diamond reminds Razzles this is all her fault for abandoning her, even as Razzles manages to push up onto her knees, and Diamond grabs Razzles by the scruff of her neck…..and Razzles smacks away Steele’s arms, hooks her head, and drops Diamond with a DEVASTATING GOBSTOPPER!

Both women are down now, neither one able to find any strength at the moment, and the referee starts to make a ten count. HE manages to reach five before Razzles rolls onto her knees, clutching her sore arm to her chest, while behind her Diamond manages to drag herself to the ropes to pull herself up. Both women make it to their feet, Razzles spotting Diamond with her back to her, and as Steele turns, Razzles charges and drops her with a clothesline from her good arm! Diamond bounces back up, and Razzles nails an armdrag, sending Diamond bouncing back up, into the ropes, and stumbling forward into a dropkick! Razzles springs up again, doing her best to stay on top of Diamond, despite only having one working arm. Diamond slowly climbs back to her feet again, and Razzles greets her with a stiff kick to the thigh, followed by a second, and a third that drops her to her knees. Mars is bouncing on her feet now as she spots an opportunity, and she turns to run the ropes, but is greeted by a drop toe hold from Diamond as she bounces back, sending her crashing face-first into the mat, and Steele rolls with the momentum to sit up on Razzles back, tugging at her arm and looking for the Shipwrecked again!

Razzles squirms and scratches with her free arm, trying to get to the ropes, but Diamond yanks her right back, and this time she locks in the armbar, and sits back with it, trapping Razzles near the center of the ring with the SHIPWRECKED! Razzles screams in pain as she can feel all that tension and torque on her already wounded arm, while The Siren screams in exhilaration, demanding Razzles give up. Mars squirms on the mat, trying to fight off the pain, pivoting and swinging her body, and despite Diamond’s best efforts, Razzle manages to get a foot on the bottom rope! The referee spots it and demands Diamond break the hold, and The Siren gets up and raises her arms, believing she has won. The referee is quick to shove her arms down, pointing out Razzles foot on the bottom rope, and Diamond turns to look at it, and then stomps the mat in frustration.

Steele steps over to drag Razzles up again, grabbing her by the jaw and screaming in her face about being better then Mars, before she grabs Razzles by her wounded arm, bending it up behind Razzles back and pointing at the corner, clearly indicating what she is planning this time. Diamond drags Razzles over, and then charges forward, looking to throw Razzles between the ropes, but Razzles spins free at the last moment and reverses it, sending Diamond crashing chest-first into the corner turnbuckles. Diamond stumbles out wheezing and Mars leaps right up, dropping Diamond with a meteora, and then rolling forwards and leaping to the top rope. Mars turns and sees Diamond still down and out in front of her, and Razzles glances around at Dallas, seemingly asking for their permission before she leaps and twists in mid-air, crashing right down on Diamond with a PEPPERMINT TWIST! Razzles reaches to hook the legs with her good arm and the referee dives in to slap the mat.

ONE...!

TWO...!
