The chorus of “Revolution” by The Used finishes as we cut to the arena! The main lights of the arena go out and the only shine we see are the Lights of the stage flashing to the beat of the second verse.
“We looked at the price tag
And it’s one we can’t afford,
We were taught that progression
Means accumulating more…”
Just then the lights burst to life, revealing a sold out crowd in Rogers Place! We get our first glimpse of the Canadian fans, who break off into “Fusion” chants, showing that even in the Great White North, Zion’s fans are just as passionate! We go to the commentary table to kick things off!
Tripp Bennett: We’re nearly one week off from the biggest weekend in the blue brand’s history and we’re hitting the ground running with the crowning of two new champions! Welcome everyone...to the Fusion Unity Tournament! I’m Tripp Bennett, joined as always by my broadcast colleague, Alivia Takasoto!
Alivia Takasoto: We were treated to one hell of a show, last weekend at Hardwired, and things are only gonna continue to heat up here! We have eight remarkable tag teams just ACHING to reach the pinnacle of an amazing division here on the blue brand! But in the end only one of them can walk out as champions!
Tripp Bennett: Any picks or predictions that you have right out of the gate, Alivia?
Alivia Takasoto: There are too many great teams here to pick from, but if I had to go with one, I’d have to give the nod to my girls Regulators, Incorporated! They’ve pioneered the scene everywhere they’ve been! I wouldn’t be surprised if they did the same right here in Zion tonight!
Tripp Bennett: Well we’ve got a momentous night ahead of us, so let’s get things started!
The crowd is seen as there's a brief pause in any sound whatsoever. Before they all know it “Coming Thru The Stereo” blazes throughout the arena, with the fans up out of their seats. The roar from the crowd is unlike anything that's been heard for sometime. After the fans hear the opening verse, Serena Riot makes her way on the entrance way, with the crowd popping even more. The newly won Championship belt appears to be in a black bag around her shoulder. But Riot pays no attention to the title; She's relishing the moment she has with the fans right now.
She quickly does a lap around the ring, slapping fan's hands. She spots a little girl, roughly 10 years old dressed up like her with a sign that says “Reign of Riot!” She smiles, taking a picture with the little girl. She rolls in the ring with the belt, just as her music gets cut. The fans are chanting “Reign of Riot”, followed by clapping throughout the arena. She lets out an inaudible giggle, just as she gets handed a mic. She lays the title down below her feet.
”Damn you, guys.” She laughs. ”You know, I was talking to Ashlynn after I won this and told her I was gonna' prepare something to say, but...Screw it, this comes from the heart.” The fans cheer.
”I remember being a little girl. I remember being the girl who liked punk rock music, and played with GI Joe's and not barbies. I remember being the girl who wanted a mohawk instead of a Barbie haircut. I remember wearing Vans instead of heels. I remember telling my teacher I wanted to be a wrestler, and she laughed. The point is, I remember a lot of things, and I remember the same teachers telling me that I'm just a joke and going to be a footnote at best. But then I also remember being that same girl that I took a picture with just now.” The fans explode in applause for the girl.
”And I just wanna say girly, I'm gonna' give you the same exact advice my father gave to me whenever I was picked on, or mocked for dressing different; Screw all of them. Be yourself.”Another round of applause from the fans. ”7 years ago, I was sitting at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, watching my father have his last match. And I remember seeing him afterwards, bloodied and all and looked at me and said “When is it your turn?” And that resonated with me. He knew this was all I wanted. He knew that sooner or later...With or without his blessing...I was going to do this. I was going to kick ass, raise Hell and not feel sorry for anyone. And that's what happened. Then I got pregnant. And gave birth to a beautiful boy. The same boy who greeted me with flowers backstage last night. I couldn't help it, I began crying some heavy-ass tears of joy. And I looked him in the eye, and I said to him...”Screw others. Be Yourself.”
A small “We want Legion!” chant breaks out. Serena looks around, then decides to address it.
”Look, I can't make that call, guys. But I'll tell you this, anytime and any place, I'll be glad to beat that ass again!” The fans cheer. ”So In honor of being myself, it leads me to my next point. This is a new time for ZION. We got Jordan Majors, and Razzles Mars kicking ass over here on Fusion! And Hell, I know War Games is around the corner and blah-blah-blah- brand loyalty, but come on give credit where it's due; Ashylnn is a badass, Satsujin Triad...Even...Tessa, I suppose. But let's not forget we even got Fusion Arrival 2? Guys! This is the time to be alive!” Crowd cheers. ”This isn't just a place for the wrestlers, this is for you. This is your chance to tell people that you're different. That you're your own person! And with that is me. With that comes me being my own person. So I took the Championship back home...And yes, it was legit in my fridge from the time I got home to now...But I looked at that belt. I admired what it stood for. But I didn't admire what it represented. And it represented a run filled with hate. Filled with anger. Filled with...Frankly, no where else to go. And that's why we're doing this a bit different. Now...”
She leans down to get the black bag. Slowly, she unveils a new, fresher looking Championship belt. The fans give a quick round of applause. The belt itself is silver in design with a “Play” button in the middle, with a picture of a globe around it.
”Now, we have a Championship that's different, just like that little girl from Cleveland, just like that little girl in the front row! And anyone else who might think or act outside the box! Guys, this title belt? It's not just for me. It's for all of us. We did it! I'm not going to be just “a” champion. I'm not even going to be a transitional champion. I'm going to be YOUR champion. And as long as y'all are rooting for me, I'm going to work my ass off harder than ever before. I'm accepting applications for people to step up...Or shut up...Tick. Tock!”
Serena flips the microphone down, just as her theme song hits. She smiles again, feeling like a little girly on Christmas. She straps the title on her waist, standing on one of the turnbuckles, pointing at the crowd. She rolls out of the ring, doing one more lap of hand-slapping, before making her way back through the entry tunnel.
(The image screen goes black before the image slowly plays ZionWrestling's Roster. Everyone before the picture blacked out again before a blood-like letter appeared as the word masochist before the letter faded to M.)
??: Where should I start talking about how bad it is? I'm sick of seeing the same old stuff. I don't like seeing your favorite people succeed. Isn't it boring that those people someday have a different mindset? Some people become selfish. Some people have to change because they can't develop anymore? Oh, it's so boring, isn't it? But believe me, when I get there everything will change. I'm not that boring person. I don't want to do whatever you want. Only fools would do anything for you. That's why I have to change everything here.
"The Gun Show" by In This Moment hits as Killer Carter makes her way down the ramp! Clearly making sure that nothing goes haywire during this tournament, Carter unfolds a steel chair and takes a seat at ringside, watching tonight's events intently!
Match #1: The Last of the Valkyries vs. Delilah Hill & Jayden King
Unity Tournament Quarter Finals
Alex Lawson: The following tag team contest...is scheduled for one fall...
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: And is a Quarter Final Match in The Fusion Unity Tournament!
Introducing first...at a combined weight of 397 lbs…Delilah Hill...and “The Midwest Brute”...Jayden! King!
And their opponents...representing The Kingdom...from The Halls of Valhalla...at a combined weight of 235 lbs...Lilith Meadows and Christina Olson...The Last! Of The Valkyries!
Tripp Bennett: We kick off the night with sure to be a fun match, but one has to wonder: How do you think The Valkyries will fare in this match given the hellacious war they had been through against The Satsujin Triad last Saturday at Hardwired?
Alivia Takasoto: They definitely put it all on the line in that match! Christina Olson especially must still be feeling the effects of diving from the top of the titantron! But these two are highly decorated tag team specialists, Tripp! If there’s anything we’ve learned from this past weekend, The Valkyries will always find a way to victory!
Christina Olson and Delilah Hill start off for their respective teams! The two circle the ring around each other, looking as though the two are gonna go for a collar and elbow tie up, but Hill thinks better of it! She puts her boot to the damaged ribs of Olson, causing her to hunch over, before clobbering her with a strike to the back! Olson recoils from the shot to the back, slowly stepping away from a very game Hill! She draws herself closer to the corner, and Hill takes advantage, throwing her into the corner with a Running Dropkick! She runs to the opposite corner and returns to Olson with a European Uppercut! She drags Olson to the opposite corner, before tagging in Jayden King! She tosses Olson over to King, who scoops her up into a Sidewalk Slam! King with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Olson! She throws a hand up in the air while prone, clearly reaching out to Meadows in the corner! But King cuts this off in short order, stomping on the damaged ribs of Olson to keep her at bay! He gets Olson back to her feet, ready to attack, but she’s not giving up that easy! She swats King’s hands away, before jumping up and planting him with a Dropkick! The giant brute staggers back as Olson gets to a vertical base once again! She capitalizes, going for a Superkick to King, who staggers back some more! She decides to cap off her attack, running the ropes and going for a Crossbody, but NO! King catches the flying Olson, before driving her to the mat with a Fallaway Slam! King going for the pin again!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Olson! King looks over to Hill in their corner in frustration! He drags Olson over to his corner and tags Hill in, before lifting her to her feet and throwing her into a waiting Hill who goes for a Lariat! But Olson ducks underneath, slipping behind Hill and bringing her to the mat with Satellite DDT, smacking King upside the head with the bottom of her boot as she does! All three competitors are on the mat now, as King rolls out of the ring. Olson sees her chance, and starts making the crawl over to her corner to tag in Meadows! She inches closer and closer, as Meadows reaches out as far as she’s able to without letting go of the tag rope! She gets just fingertips away, but Hill cuts it off, pouncing straight from the canvas onto Olson and sending a few strikes to the back of her head to keep her at bay!
She lifts Olson to her feet, before sending a Forearm Smash to the head, before getting her into position for a Snap DDT! But Olson escapes, sending a few punches to the midsection of Hill, before sending a Kick to her shin, leaving her kneeling! She runs the ropes before taking her down with a Shining Wizard! She caps off her attack, jumping up and splashing onto Hill with a Standing Moonsault! Both competitors are down on the mat now as Meadows reaches out for Olson! King recovers, stepping up to the apron in his corner and reaching for Hill! The two race to their respective corners, with Hill seemingly in the lead! Olson draws closer and closer to her corner but, seeing Hill coming even closer to King, she makes one giant leap over to her corner, finally tagging in Lilith Meadows!
Meadows comes out of her corner like a house of fire, catching King with a Forearm that sends him off the apron, before directing her attention to Hill, knocking her to the mat with a Discus Forearm! Hill scrambles to get back to her feet, as Meadows preemptively, runs the ropes and brings her to the mat with a Chop Block, before capitalizing with a Running Senton to the prone Hill! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out Hill! Meadows gets Hill up to her feet, looking to hit another move, but NO! Hill reverses with a kick to the gut, before bringing her down with a Stunner! She grabs into the legs of a prone Meadows, looking to lock in the California Fire! But Meadows manages to escape the Figure Four, sending a boot to the back of Hill as she turns around that sends her tumbling out of the ring through the middle rope! Meadows looks on as Hill slowly gets to her feet, with something huge clearly on her mind! Hill is up, and Meadows runs the ropes, looking to fly, but NO! This was a deception, as Hill cowers back in preparation for a diving move that never comes! It occupies her attention so much that she fails to notice Olson flying from the apron and catching her with a Meteora! Hill is down at ringside, before Olson scoops her up and throws her back in the ring!
Hill gets back to her feet, before Meadows finishes her off with DRAGON’S IRE!! The Codebreaker connects!! Meadows with the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
NO! Pin broken up by Jayden King! He picks Meadows up off the mat, before throwing her right back down with a Spinebuster! The referee takes immediate exception to this, starting his five count! King sees this and backs down, dragging Hill over his corner, before climbing back to the apron, grabbing the tag rope and tagging himself in! He immediately jumps in and rushes Meadows, somehow failing to notice that Meadows made the tag as he was dealing with Hill! He attempts to go for Rage, but Meadows LeapFrogs him, causing him to rush straight into a Superkick by Olson! The strike turns him around right into a Snap DDT by Meadows! The referee tells Meadows off, starting his five count to get her out of the ring! During this time, King tries reaching for Hill, who’s starting to climb back to the apron! He gets fingertips away, but Hill hops off, walking up the ramp and leaving King hanging! Meanwhile, Meadows steps onto the apron, before immediately having Olson tag her back in! She gets King back up and with much effort exerted, nails him with a German Suplex, before Olson flies in with the Shooting Star Press for THE VIKING FUNERAL!! The two stay on top for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: The winners of this match...and continuing to the semi-finals...The Last! Of The Valkyries!
Tripp Bennett: In spite of the odds, The Valkyries have advanced to the second round of this tournament!
Alivia Takasoto: You can’t imagine that they’re going in stellar shape, though! Christina Olson already entered this match wearing a few battle scars going into this match, but the Valkyries have two more matches to win in order to score those tag titles, and every other team in this tournament is as much, if not more, hungry and vicious as Hill and King!
Meadows and Olson celebrate in the ring, with the latter favoring her midsection as we fade out!
WINNERS: THE LAST OF THE VALKYRIES (VIA PINFALL)
The lights go down and then red lights blink on the stage as “Warrior” by Stitched Up Heart begins to play.
Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a…
Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a Warrior!
A spotlight shines on the center of the stage to show Jordan Majors from behind, arms outstretched. She turns around right as the guitar riffs and holds her jacket open with both hands to show off the Viral Championship as the crowd roars. She smiles wide and walks down to the ring, high-fiving both sides of the ramp as makes her way. She grabs a microphone and walks up the steps into the ring and looks out at the crowd, just taking it in for a moment.
Jordan Majors: Wow. I just, wow-
Jordan is cut off as the crowd chants at her.
YOU DESERVE IT!
The crowd claps and keeps chanting. Jordan holds the microphone down and looks emotional. She looks down for a moment and then takes a deep breath. She mouths thank you a few times before the crowd dies down and lets her speak
Jordan Majors: Thank you. Honestly, thank you. Not everyone understands how much winning this championship is for me. It's the sunshine at the end of a long, dark road for me. I have spent years, busting my ass in this industry. Only to fall just short of opportunities like this. And then this company came along. THE hottest company in wrestling.
The crowd roars and breaks into a ZION chant for a moment. Jordan laughs.
Jordan Majors: I asked Kai Morgan a few months back, what would it take to get a chance to compete in the Superstar Showcase? I saw a few episodes of Fusion and Mayhem. I was hooked. The energy. The atmoshphere. It felt like I could fit in. And after Invasion? I felt like I could make a home here. And so I had a conversation with Kai and he put the ball in my court. He knew he probably had me, so he left one spot open in the Viral Championship Tournament with confidence that I would show up. Well, I not only showed up...
Jordan unstraps the belt from her waist and holds it up with her left hand.
Jordan Majors: Your girl delivered. I did exactly what I said I would do. I beat the woman who sneak attacked me at Invasion after my match. I even won a tiebreaker. And then, against all odds, I overcame everything to became THE first Viral Champion in Zion history.
Jordan puts the belt on her shoulder and lets it rest there.
Jordan Majors: This was a moment I dreamed of. Winning a championship in a company I love. It's what everyone should dream about when they want to break into this industry. The feeling is irreplaceable. Just a few years ago I was competing in a basement, wearing a mask and jumping off the top in a room with ceilings so low that my feet once hit it on a moonsault.
Jordan laughs and some of the crowd is heard laughing with her.
Jordan Majors: And I never stopped dreaming of what could be. I worked tirelessly for the last several years and found myself in a position where people could see what I was capable of. I never stopped trying to improve and I never stopped trying to be the best. This title? It's just the beginning of what I hope to accomplish for this company.
Jordan nods to herself as she looks out at the crowd and then she smirks.
Jordan Majors: And now? Now the real fun begins. Because as Zion's Viral Champion, I am prepared to defend this belt with everything I have. I'm not gonna shy away from any contenders. I will not hide behind my status as a champion. I will fight to defend this just as hard as I did to win this. And you all saw what happened last weekend? I will go through hell to make sure this isn't just some belt on a wrestling show. This is something to be proud of. This is a championship that means something. That's why next week, at Fusion: Arrival II, I will put this title on the line for the first time. Because as long as I'm champion, I will be a fighting champion for this company. And next week, I will walk out of Arrival II as the Viral Champion. You can take that to the bank. Because Jordan IS money.
The crowd cheers as Jordan takes the belt off of her shoulder and holds it high into the air. Her theme song plays as she goes to the corner and holds the belt up into the air.
Tripp Bennett: Confident words from the Viral Champion tonight as she puts her title on the line for the first time next week.
Alivia Takasoto: And the world will be watching her to see if that title win last week was a fluke, or if Jordan is indeed the real deal for Zion.
Jordan leaves the ring and walks up the ramp as we go to our next match!
Match #2: Code Black vs. Pure Excellence
Unity Tournament Quarter Finals
Alex Lawson: The following tag team contest...is scheduled for one fall...
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: And is a Quarter Final Match in The Fusion Unity Tournament!
Introducing first...from Southampton, England...at a combined weight of 315 lbs...Ravyn and Olivia Nightshade...Code! Black!
And their opponents...at a combined weight of 490 lbs...Randal Williams and Jeffrey Alexander...Pure! Excellence!
Tripp Bennett: Pure Excellence coming in and making their first appearance here in Zion Wrestling as a substitution in this tournament! Do you think the relatively last minute addition here will help or hinder Code Black tonight?
Alivia Takasoto: It’s definitely gonna be an uphill battle for the Nightshade Sisters here! Williams and Alexander are tag team specialists, winning tag team gold and being entered into Hall of Fames all over! Code Black is gonna have to bring it if they wanna advance to the semi-finals!
Olivia Nightshade and Randal Williams start off for their respective teams! They circle each other around the ring, before going for the collar-and-elbow tie up! The two violently struggle for control with Williams finally being the one to capitalize, getting in a Side Headlock! Olivia is in trouble now and it looks as though Williams is going to capitalize, but NO! Olivia breaks free of the hold, falling to the mat in the process! She’s sat up now as she looks at an exuberant William! He bends over to her level now, giving her a cocky grin! The younger Nightshade sister gets to her feet, circling her opponent once again!
The two get into a second collar-and-elbow tie up, violently pushing themselves into a position of control once more! This time, Olivia turns the tables on Williams, gaining the advantage with a Side Headlock of her own! She looks down at the head of her opponent, remembering that cocky grin as she wrenches in the hold even tighter! This prompts Williams to immediately respond, powering Olivia to the mat with a Belly-To-Back Suplex! Williams with the pin!
ONE…!
TW-
Kick out by Olivia! Williams gets her back to her feet, looking for another move, but NO! Olivia swats her opponent’s hands out of the way, before cocking back and unloading a super stiff, super audible Forearm to the side of Williams head! He’s clearly rocked by the shot, leaning back into his corner! Alexander puts his hand up to go for the tag, but Williams puts a finger up to hold him off! He re-approaches Olivia, giving her a “bring it on” gesture! She rushes Williams, going for a Discus Clothesline! But he ducks underneath, catching Olivia from behind and dropping her with a German Suplex! But she flips out of it, landing on her feet as Williams goes to his back! He returns to a seated position, just in time for Olivia to kick him right in the temple! Williams recoils from the shot, getting to his feet as Olivia runs the ropes! She goes for a Spear, Williams drives the knee right into the side of her head! She’s hunched over now, and Williams takes advantage, lifting her up for a Vertical Suplex, but NO! Olivia shifts the weight, landing on her feet behind Williams and going for an O’Connor Roll Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Williams rolls out of the pinning situation, getting Olivia into an O’Connor Roll of his own!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Olivia! Williams snatches the leg of his opponent looking for a Figure Four, but Olivia kicks him away! She gets up as Williams recovers, going for “Taste That Leather, B*tch”! But Williams ducks to get out of the way, falling to the mat in the process! He looks up to Olivia, who returns his gaze by bending down to his level and giving him the same cocky grin as he did before! Williams slowly gets up, snickering under his breath to Olivia’s efforts, before tagging in Jeffrey Alexander! He enters the ring, right into a knee to the gut by Olivia! She hits the ropes and goes for a Curb Stomp, but Alexander pops his head to dodge it, before getting her in position and dropping her with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex! Out of instinct, Olivia rolls to her feet, before immediately buckling and falling to the mat, tagging in Ravyn Nightshade in the process!
Ravyn enters the ring as Olivia rolls out! She rushes Alexander, ducking underneath an attempted Lariat before hitting the ropes! She rebounds, ducking underneath a Back Elbow attempt by Alexander now! Ravyn charges her opponent, ready to strike, but NO! Alexander lands a Back Elbow, thwarting any attack she had planned, before running for the ropes and going for a Handspring! He rebounds, looking for the Back Elbow, but NO! Ravyn reverses, catching him mid-jump with a Backstabber! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Alexander! He gets to his feet, instantly going for the ropes before making the climb up to the top turnbuckle! He turns around, going for an Asai Moonsault! Ravyn rolls out of the way, though, avoiding the initial dive! Alexander has it scouted however, landing on his feet before, jumping up for a second Standing Moonsault, but NO! Ravyn gets the knees up, driving them into Alexander’s gut! He’s sent reeling as Ravyn gets to her feet, lifting him up and going for a Bridging Fallaway Slam for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Alexander kicks the leg of Ravyn right from under her, giving away her leverage so he can grapevine for a Crucifix Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
Kick out by Ravyn! The two get to their feet at the same time, with Ravyn being the first to strike, throwing a Clothesline, but Alexander dodges, pushing her towards the ropes! Just as she rebounds off the ropes, however, Olivia jumps up on the apron, grabbing the tag rope and slapping Ravyn’s back unbeknownst to Alexander! She comes back to him getting caught with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex! She rolls out of the ring, giving Alexander an opportunity to attack! He approaches the ropes, going for his signature Corkscrew Plancha, but NO! Olivia now enters the ring, snatching the top rope as Alexander goes over it and causing him to tumble right down to the floor at ringside! He gets to his feet, only for Ravyn to drive him to the concrete floor!
Ravyn throws Alexander back in the ring as a waiting Olivia hovers over him! She waits for him to get up before throwing him to the mat with the MAYHEM BOMB!! The Suplex/Powerbomb Combo connects!! Olivia Nightshade with the pin!!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
NO! Pin broken up by Randal Williams! Olivia gets back up, before kicking Williams in the gut and throwing him out of the ring! This leaves Alexander opening, landing a punch to Olivia’s gut when she goes to lift him back up! She falls to a knee, before Alexander hits the ropes and spikes her with a BIG BOOT! Alexander with the pin now!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Pin broken up by Ravyn! He gets up and disposes of her the same as last time, before redirecting his attention to Olivia! He drags her over to the corner, before positioning her on the top rope for Turn Out The Lights! Ravyn tries to intervene, but Williams intercepts, going for a Penalty Kick on the apron! Ravyn catches it, though, yanking Williams off the apron and to the floor, before jumping up and striking Alexander on the back to keep him at bay! Now in perfect position, Ravyn climbs to the top with Olivia and Alexander, with the pair hitting BLACK MOON FALLING!! Ravyn rolls out of the ring as Olivia goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: The winners of this match...and continuing to the semi-finals...Code! Black!
Tripp Bennett: What a match, and though I don’t agree with their methods, what a HUGE win by Code Black!
Alivia Takasoto: They played to their strengths perfectly in that match, and without their cheating ways, they still took the fight to a Hall of Fame tag team!
The Nightshade Sisters smirk as they look at the downed bodies of Alexander and Williams, before breaking out into a laugh as we fade out!
WINNERS: CODE BLACK (VIA PINFALL)
Delilah Hill leans back, still in her black gear, with her legs crossed on a white seat.
Delilah Hill: Don’t say I didn’t try… I thought this would work. I really really tried to make it work. But obviously, being associated with losers just makes you look like one, and Jayden King almost succeeded. But don’t you dare blame me for the association! I was promised protection and safety! How was I supposed to know that airhead brutes like him are such liars too!
Delilah Hill sighs. She needed a breather from the backlash she was facing from her actions tonight. She could hear her phone blowing up.
Delilah Hill: Think about it. I had him on my side. I let him be seen with me. I gave him adventures and excitement -- pretty much everything a guy could ever ask for! And how does he repay me? By doing jack shit to ensure that we are on the winning side. How can a person be so strong and so agile, but still couldn’t keep up with the new girl on the block? How can someone who is supposed to do a million bench presses and works out everyday, be so fucking weak at the same time? He reminds me of why I only associate with like-minded individuals… He and his greasy fingers remind me of why I only hang out with hygienic and attractive people. That idiot makes me so thankful and so blessed that I am educated. He did a shit job, and now I’m moving on. I am too fragile to have my dreams crushed this early by some moron. I am too pretty to be carrying dead weight. And now that the tumor is gone, Delilah Hill is going to rise like the true star that she is.
Delilah Hill smirks before she leaves the room.
Match #3: The Gemstones vs. Shadow Council
Unity Tournament Quarter Finals
Written by Jordan
Alex Lawson: The following tag team contest...is scheduled for one fall...
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: And is a Quarter Final Match in The Fusion Unity Tournament!
Introducing first...at a combined weight of 248 lbs...Ruby Steele and Sapphire Taylor...The Gemstones!
And their opponents...at a combined weight of 325 lbs...Dragon and Kade Morrison...The Shadow! Council!
Tripp Bennett: The Shadow Council coming to the ring in their Zion Wrestling debut, yet they’ve had quite a bit of hype so far! How do you think they’ll do here in this tournament?
Alivia Takasoto: They’ve been training and working specifically to make it to this point! I think they’ll intend to go all the way in this! I’ll tell you this though, it’s gonna be a lot harder for The Gemstones! You have to imagine that their heads are on a swivel after that attack from Kasey Kash last Saturday!
Ruby and Sapphire chat about who’s starting the match as Dragon waits in the corner on the other side. Sapphire takes the reins for The Gemstones. Sapphire stays on the outside as Dragon approaches the middle, looking for that opening. Sapphire goes for a double-leg takedown. Dragon stops it and she drives an elbow into Sapphire’s back. Dragon hauls her up and hits a snap suplex and twists around and puts her in a headlock.
Sapphire grips at the hands as she tries to turn her and Dragon over and get to her feet. Dragon holds on as they stand and Sapphire puts an elbow in the gut. Now another! Dragon releases the hold after a third, but she grabs Sapphire as she tries to run the ropes. Step-up enzuigiri! Sapphire catches Dragon and falls to the mat. Dragon in shock as she works back to her feet, but Sapphire stays on her with a rolling senton and lands on her back! Sapphire holds her midsection as she stands and drives a boot into Dragon’s back to keep her down. Sapphire looks at the turnbuckle and jumps to the middle rope and then hits a middle rope missile dropkick as Dragon stands.
Sapphire hangs on to Dragon as she pulls her near her corner and tags in Ruby. Steele pulls her up and then pulls her back down with an arm drag. She rolls through and hits the ropes for a lionsault! Ruby pulls Dragon into a pin!
ONE…
TWO…
Kade steps between the ropes to break it up, but Dragon kicks out on her own. Ruby watches Kade carefully as she pulls Dragon back to her feet and tags Sapphire back in. They hip toss Dragon out of the corner and as she stands they hit super kicks in stereo. Sapphire and Ruby feeling confident now as Sapphire goes up top. Shoot star press! Sapphire holds her midsection as she crawls over and hooks the leg again.
ONE…
TWO…
Kade drives an elbow into Sapphire’s back. Ruby enters, but he grabs her and turns and tosses her over the top rope. He pulls Dragon to her feet as the official warns him. Kade smiles and goes to the apron as Dragon stumbles over and tags him in. Kade grabs Sapphire from the ground for a deadlift german suplex! He pulls Sapphire to her feet and whips her to the ropes and hits a powerslam! Now he punishes Sapphire by dropping knees on her midsection! Kade pulls her toward the corner and then sits on the top. He spins off the top and plants her with a tornado DDT!
Morrison thinks about the pin, but he sees Ruby getting back on the apron. He charges to knock her off the side. The rookie has it scouted! She pulls the rope down and lets Kade spill over the top to the outside! Kade is shocked, but he’s right back to his feet! Springboard moonsault from Ruby! Steele throws caution into the wind as she leaps backward and on top of Kade! The official counts!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE…

WINNERS: SHADOW COUNCIL (VIA PINFALL)
[align=center]A camera starts up backstage, showing “The Resident Asshole” Kasey Kash, in all his glory. Flanked either side by JahJah and Beau Haste. He smirks at the camera man walking up to him, as he starts talking before he even gets to him.
Kasey Kash
And the arrival of Kasey Kash is all people are talking about from that concert. As they fucking should. The arrival of the single greatest thing that Mayhem had to offer, making the jump to Fusion and saving the audience from that god awful concert that was going on. If they wanted a concert they could’ve gotten me to drop a couple tunes from my hit debut album, Ruins, not like I would've done it for THOSE fans, but being acknowledged would’ve been nice.
JahJah
EXACTLY! When me and mah boi Kase took those bitches out it was the best thing we could’ve done for those fuckin fans, not like they appreciate us or nuthin, but we cared enough to stop that ear cancer that was those fuckin Gem Stones or whatever the fuck they’re called.
Kasey Kash
Mah boi JahJah is absolutely correct. We saved you fuckin fans, and how to you repay us? By treating us like we just murdered your animal in front of you. Booing us, which we absolutely did not fucking deserve. Do you have any idea who the fuck I am… do you have any idea what the fuck I’e done for this industry you love? Clearly you don’t or you would be treating me with the RESPECT that I deserve.
Beau takes one last drag of his cigarette, before flicking it off to the side and stepping in front of his nephew, talking to the cameras for the first time.
Beau Haste
Now, what me nephew is tryna say to you lot is this, his father was the greatest athlete this sport has ever fuckin’ seen, ya get me? Kasey here, he’s a second fuckin generation talent, and ya don’t want to have ‘im walk out the doors of this company, you want this once in a lifetime talent to stay in the company. Surely you’d just do the one simple fuckin thing he request you fuckin dogs to do for him… and now, you got me tallin the lot of ya. Treat this man with the fuckin respect he deserves for puttin his body and his fuckin life on the line night after fuckin night for all of you.
Kasey Kash
Exactly. It’s the least you fucking dogs could do for me, considering the torment I put my body through for your entertainment. All I’m askin from you, and the Zion management… is to treat me the way I deserve… with some fuckin respect.
With that, Kasey walks out of frame, followed closely behind by JahJah, and then finally, his Uncle Beau hobbles out of frame.[/align]

??: Do you guys think it's boring for you to watch the people you think are your heroes gradually changing one by one? It's a pity that I have to keep an eye on your pathetic look when you will be disappointed when those idiots become disgusting. Ask, really like it, what's the point? No, it's just acting for idiots like you who like it, didn't it ever give you money?! Has it ever given you rice to eat? It's not because I don't see any reason for you to like them, right? What I'm saying is true, it's up to you to choose to be foolish. or open your eyes to believe in my words.

Tripp Bennett: Time for the last of our quarter final matches in the Unity Tournament. Event Horizon coming in with a good bit of buzz and a bit of momentum.
Alivia Takasato: Yea because they faced the damn ding dongs. Reg Inc. is going to present a match tougher challenge.
Jane and Roni are in first for their teams and of course Jane uses her superior size and strength to push Roni back towards the ropes. Clean break and Roni comes right back for the lock up and ends up in a headlock. Roni hits a few quick elbows and tries to shoot Jane off, but the cowgirl drops to a knee and keeps the hold on tight. Headlock takeover to bring Roni down, but that’s actually the opening Roni wants as she uses her legs to trap the head and counters. Both women pop up and Roni quickly fires off a couple knife edge chops before she connects with a rolling elbow and a scissor kick that secures her a two count. It’s tag time for both teams and now it’s Autumn and Sadie. Autumn keeps up with the quick strike strategy as she delivers a big dropkick which she follows up with an inverted atomic drop and a step up enziguri for a 2 count of her own. Sadie is picked up and whipped into the Event Horizon corner. A quick tag and a double chop before Event Horizon show their intelligence as they knock Jane off the apron with a double dropkick. Roni goes back out and Autumn is tagged back in. Autumn gets Sadie with a snapmare and Roni quickly comes off the ropes with a basement dropkick, then Autumn hits the opponent with a standing moonsault and makes the cover
ONE…
TWO…
THR- KICK OUT!
Autumn doesn’t argue, she just brings Sadie to her feet, sends her into the corner, and makes the tag. Event Horizon hits a quick double hip toss and Roni delivers a dropkick to the back of Sadie. Roni pulls Sadie up, hits a quick swinging neckbreaker, and makes the cover. Sadie kicks out at 2, but Roni stays on the attack looking for a big DDT, only to have Sadie drop down to a knee, slip behind, and hit a big German suplex. Sadie makes the tag and Jane is on fire as soon as she comes in. Roni is downed by a big clothesline, then Autumn eats one herself. Roni is floored by a big back body drop. Autumn catches Jane with a dropkick that rocks Jane a bit. Roni is slow to her feet and moves to make the tag only to be pulled back and thrown into the corner. Jane hits a big corner clothesline and Sadie makes the tag. Sadie heads up top as Jane takes Autumn off the apron with a big boot. Jane charges back over towards Roni as she stumbles out of the corner. Jane brings Roni up and hits a big running brainbuster which is followed by a beautiful frog splash from Sadie. Sadie quickly makes the cover
ONE…
TWO…
THRE - BROKEN UP
Regulators Inc is definitely in slow down mode as they bring Roni into the corner and deliver a quick double snap suplex. Roni is brought up again, but this time she starts throwing forearms at both members of Reg Inc. and manages to make the tag to Autumn, Autumn hops up to the top rope and takes both members of Reg Inc down with a crossbody. Sadie rolls to the outside as Jane slowly gets up and then gets planted with a tornado DDT. Autumn runs to the ropes, hops up, and delivers a springboard moonsault that absolutely demolishes the mat. Autumn tries to roll towards her corner, but Jane grabs her wrist, pulls her in, and delivers a knee to the midsection. Jane hits a huge spinebuster and rolls to her corner to make the tag. Sadie is up for the slingshot senton and she crashes down onto Autumn’s knees. Autumn makes the tag, and Roni comes in with a big chop to Sadie, then one for Jane as she comes in. DDT for Sadie, another chop for Jane, then a big running lariat before she’s put down with a fisherman’s suplex. Jane rolls to the outside as Roni tags Autumn back in, hits Sadie with a vicious blistering chop as she gets to her feet, and then hauls her up for a vertical suplex. Autumn comes off the top rope hitting a cross body on Sadi as Roni drives her down with the suplex. Roni rolls to the apron as Autumn makes the cover
ONE…
TWO…
THRE- BROKEN UP!
Roni is quick to come in to attack Jane and Event Horizon hits a big double dropkick that sends Jane right back out. Event Horizon set Sadie for The Dawning, but Jane came right back in to save her tag partner with a big clothesline to Roni. Sadie takes the chance to move towards her cover and Jane tags herself in. Clothesline’s for all seems to be Jane’s approach as she takes each member of Event Horizon down as soon as they get up, right until she’s caught with a chop block. Autumn quickly gets Jane set for the figure four leg lock, but instead, she catches a boot under the chin and she’s pushed off. Autumn collides with her Roni, sending her flying off the apron and crashing into the barricade as Jane rolls back and tags in Sadie. Sadie hits a flying forearm to take Autumn down real quick, then she’s pulled up and they connect with the Red Dead Revolver. Sadie makes the cover
