We come in to sold out Little Caesars Arena! A huge welcome back worthy pyro set goes off over the stage as we cut to the announce table!
Eddie Red Apples: Finally…the blue brand…is home! Welcome everyone, to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Eddie Red Apples joined by broadcast colleague and NEW Zion Wrestling social media rep Amber Westgate! How are you tonight, Amber?
Amber Westgate: I’m excited, I’m nervous, I’m everything right now! Tonight Fusion is arriving once again! I can’t wait to get on with this show! We’ve got a stacked card!
"(This is our time
This is our time)
Raise your flag up to the sky To the red sky
Tell the capital goodbye Tell 'em goodbye
I'm gonna light that fire We're gonna watch them fall
Raise your flag up to the sky To the red sky"
Ashlynn and Eden walk out shoulder to shoulder, as the stage area is highlighted with golden lights. They both have confident smiles as they walk to the center of the stage. Eden bows her head and pulls the hood up, showcasing the crown emblazoned on the fabric. Ashlynn takes the spot right beside her as leans against her momentarily to mimic placing a crown upon her own head. The two share a knowing look. Then suddenly “Lux Aeterna” plays. Zachary Porter walks out so he is standing between them.
All three give each other a fist bump at the same time then walk down to the ring in unison. Porter is the one who reaches the ring first. Walking across the apron, he sits on the middle rope so Eden and Ashlynn can enter the ring before him. As Zach enters the ring, Ashlynn walks to the side of the ring where the ring announcer is and requests some mics. Zach opts to lean in the corner at first so Ashlynn and Eden can take center stage. Ashlynn brings the mic to her lips first.
Ashlynn Cassidy: “Elephant in the ring time, let’s just get it out of the way first.”
Ashlynn did a little twirl so that she could face all four sides of the ring.
Ashlynn Cassidy: “New look! What does it mean?? Is she different? Is she ANGRY? What gives? Let’s just nip that right in the bud. On the outside? I might not look exactly the same, but underneath it all? I’m the same. I’ve got the same heart, the same drive, the same passion to perform. I still have that same undeniable mindset. You see it all the time in this business, folks change themselves up for the sake of changing. Not only on the outside, but with it comes a change in attitude. With me? I promise you all right now. I am still a workhorse in this ring. Appearances change, intangibles don’t have to.
I’m not as mild-mannered as these two. Everyone in this ring, everyone watching in this arena, everyone at home, we all know that I don’t like biting my tongue. I have no issues with taking pride in my work, in The Crown’s work, hell, in Zachary’s work. It’s never been just because we’ve won. It’s because I know how much hard work and time we all put in to get where we got, and to stay where we got. Sure, my name, Eden’s name, Zach’s name, we’re already written in Zion history but there’s still time, still work to be done. Eden and I, we may go by The Crown, but it’s not because once we’ve made it to the top we sit and rest on the head of success. We’re The Crown because we grind like hell, give it all we got, all the damn time. Every bit of shine, every jewel in our crown, we scratched and clawed, and placed there ourselves. It’s not going to be a crown that was bought.”
Ashlynn stands beside Eden and wears a confident smile. She hands the microphone to Eden.
Eden Sterling: “The last time we were in a Zion ring, we didn't pull out the win, and while that sucks, we sure showed up, didn't we? We took the fight to The House of Wolves, like we have every time before. So let me take this moment right here to declare this; we are coming for the Fusion Tag Team Championships. Sooner or later, y'all are going to stand nose to nose with two world class athletes in The Crown. Ash and I are all about setting the standard and making firsts. And that said, I have zero doubt in my mind that we'll do what no one has done before, win both sets of tag titles…I don't care whom we have to go through to get the job done, we will put boots to asses in order to accomplish this goal. Doubt me? I dare you to step up and try me.”
Once Eden wraps up what she was saying, Zach walks to where the ladies are to take his place between them. She hands the mic to the World Champion. Zach raises the microphone to his Before he can speak, the crowd gives him a solid standing ovation in appreciation for the journey he took to reach the mountain top. He basked in their adulation for a little bit. The cheers die down. He is prepared to speak.
Zachary Porter: “Thanks to the time afforded to us with this mini break, I have had a lot of time to think about how I am going to address the world. This is the moment where I make my first declaration as the brand new World Champion. I could set the tone for how my reign is going to go. Not like I’ve done this before. Not saying this to brag, the championship I am wearing around my waist right now is the first championship I ever win, so literally, this is my first I am the brand new champion, hear me roar speech.”
The crowd cheers for the new World Champion some more. Once the cheers die down, he continues.
Zachary Porter: “I will clarify a few things right off the bat. I don’t intend to come out here every week with the demon inspired face paint. My choice to don the paint wasn’t for dramatic effect. I needed a way to channel all the darkness that welled up inside me. From what led me to become a wrestler in the first place. To dealing with Trinity. To Fillmore. To KC. To the disrespect I felt Daria had shown me. Vengeance was my way of channeling everything I had been through up to that moment. No more. No less. I am not going to deny I have a darkside. If anyone in the back tempts me to pull the trigger on Vengeance, you’ve been warned. With that out the way, you’d like to know what kinda champion I’ll be.”
He takes a brief pause.
Zachary Porter: “Absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is an adage as old as time. Whether men and women lose themselves when they become politicians or in our sport, become champions, being a champion has the power to make us love ourselves. I am not going to be one of those champions. Why? I will always remember what brought me here, the power of loss. I lost my lingerie football league team due to the league going out of business. I lost my dad. I almost lost my reason to live. The darkness that powered me to become World Champion is the same darkness that will always be my best friend. I know at some point I will lose the World Championship. Only a matter of time. Not me doubting myself. I refuse to become the type of champion who believes they are infallible. I’m human just like the rest of you. In this ring tonight there will be two former Zion Champions who want nothing more than to be the Face of the company, whatever that means. I don’t care for labels like Face of the Company, Queen or GOAT...
Zachary pauses knowing the last bit is referring to Ashlynn’s best friend.
Zachary Porter: “Whether I am a pillar or not, that’s not up for me to decide. I will attempt to be the most egoless World Champion this company has ever had. Not denying I have one. From time to time my ego may rear its head. I don’t want my reign as World Champion to corrupt me, the day being champions makes me a different person, I lose. I don’t care about the world's standards or expectations. I am rising up my own.
The crowd claps. Zach nods appreciating them responding positively to his words.
Zachary Porter: “One last thing, you didn’t come to hear me talk. The three of us in this ring have one definitive goal. Ashlynn and Eden will become the tag team champions of this brand eventually. I have faith in their abilities. Beyond wearing championship gold, we, as a collective aim to be the constant of Fusion. When you watch us wrestle you know we’ll give it one thousand percent. When our opponents stand across the ring from us, they know they are in for a long night. Every time the boss schedules us to compete, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt we will be the most consistent thing on this program. Fusion needs that level of consistency. Neither of us will take our ball and go home. Oh no, we’re here good, bad and indifferent. We’re not quitters. Not now. Not ever. We won’t abandon you. You have our word.
“Lux Aeterna” plays as Zachary Porter drops the mics. He then holds up the World Championship as the crowd roars. Him, Eden and Ashlynn bump fists as we leave ringside.
We open in a backstage area with Marina Flores. She stands in front of a chain-link fence background with a microphone close by.
Marina: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Serena Riot.”
Serena Riot jumps into frame, wearing her signature black leather jacket and a Trivium T shirt underneath. She greets Marina with a smile.
Marina: “Serena, I know I said it at Destiny, but once again, welcome back. Now that you’ve had a chance to fully process everything, what was it like to come back?”
Serena: “Honestly, chica. Incredible. Words can’t describe it. I…Look, when I left it wasn’t because I hated the fans, or even ZION. I needed to find myself. I needed to figure out who I was. And yeah man, doing one-offs and finding temporary homes was cool. It really freaking was. But I think at the end of the day…ZION needs their momma.”
She gives a wink. Marina smiles.
Marina: “There were rumors swirling as to who the mystery opponent could have been in the Battle Royale. How hard was it to keep this all a secret?”
Serena: “Oh man. So, there were really like 4 people who knew. My dad and my kid, obviously. The other two were my ride or die, Ash. And of course my MAJOR…ly awesome wifey, Jordan. To be honest homie, it wasn’t hard to keep it. It was just a matter of going out there and proving to myself that I can do it. And unfortunately that little twat waffle Penelope had other plans. But hey, she’ll get hers when she does, I ain’t worried. Like 2Pac said, “I ain’t mad at ya!”
Marina: “And even though you didn’t win, you find yourself in the midst of a golden opportunity. You get to face Charley Dawson, Angel Kash, Elijah Copeland, Ayu Megumi and a mystery opponent where the winner faces Zachary Porter at Invasion: Steel City for the ZION World Heavyweight Championship. What would it mean to you to regain the title you once held?”
Serena: “The crazy thing chica, is that it’s not that long ago I was El Champo. I held that strap with pride. And no one, and I mean no one was able to stop me. I mean, yeah Quinn Costa knocked my head off with some Germans, and Ash wouldn’t stay still because she countered everything. Oh And Scotty Dunn, he…Well, he was just an ass. But point is, they all tried. And they all were knocked down. Fact of the matter is, I can do it again. And against Zachary Porter? Someone who I know very well. Someone who is my besties man. Someone who…Let’s be real, I already beat once before. He ain’t no damn slouch. But homie, I’m sorry I’ll be the one to end—”
? ? ?: Oh my god, like really we are doing this now?
WIth a scoff, and a snobby sounding tone comes the Trillion Dollar Princess Angel Kash, who was dressed ready to compete in her very first match back on Fusion. The former Zion Wrestling Champion, has a disgusted look on her face as she begins to speak.
Angel Kash: I know this might have been your show a while ago before Daria beat you in the center of the ring, but now it's my show. See, I may have been drafted here and now forced to give up my rematch clause for the Zion Wrestling Champions but if you think I am going to let that get in the way of me getting the spotlight you’re dead wrong. See while you were away I was making waves on Mayhem, and changing Zion for the better with my Privileged Elite.”
Angel said before scoffing, as she once again said.
Angel Kash: I love how when I get drafted to Fusion I don’t get the star treatment like where is my exclusive interview, or my video package. Seriously, the lack of respect is so unreal it's pathetic. “
Serena looks at Angel and laughs, as Marina slowly fades out of the picture.
Serena Riot: “The balls on you. I give you credit, I do. You see, I knew this would happen. Me coming back, I’m sure it ruffled feathers. I got the video package. I get the exclusives. Let me tell you and the rest of the roster something. When I was gone…I headlined shows all over the globe. I have my own vegan menu at a Gentlemens Club. I started my own promotion. I became The One Off Queen. All while you were too busy being Faye Brown’s bitch. So tell me, puddin’. Why in the blue-balls do you think you can hold a candle to the OG, The Original GOAT?”
Angel rolled her eyes in disgust and huffed as she said in a bitchy tone.
Angel Kash: One off Queen? Listen I became the greatest Zion Wrestling Champion in damn history, I outpaced your bestie aka the original champions regin. Again, this is a new Zion and a Zion that will be controlled by the true Elite of this business. A word of advice tonight in our match you will learn why I can hold a candle to the “goat”.
Angel made sure to use air quotes with her fingers on the word goat.
Angel Kash: The last thing I am going to allow, is anyone including you to waltz in here and steal my spotlight.
Serena laughs and does a little waltz-like dance.
Serena Riot: “Congrats on making me dance. I hated it. So here I am…Waltzing in. And stealing your…Well, let’s be real. You don’t have a spotlight anymore. That got taken away. And you know what else is going to get taken away? Your shot at the ZION World Heavyweight Championship. I seen you running your mouth saying you’re gonna’ be the first ever to hold both World Titles. That’s cute, but uh. You gonna’ wake up from that dumbass fantasy yet? Or do I have to beat the crap outta’ you to wake you up? Either way, your fate is just, just like so many before you. Hunny, all I gotta’ hit is a Psychosis. And your ass is down. 1…2…3…Tick…Tock.”
Angel stares a hole through her, as she hufs angrily as she soon said in a bitchy tone.
Angel Kash: That's cute, this whole thing of yours see I am taking back my spotlight and I don’t care whose expense it is at. They may have drafted me here, and taken away my rematch for the Zion Wrestling Title, but eventually I will have the Fusion World Title, and redefine it as well. Why? Because that is what I do. While you were away having your one offs, I was main eventing here in Zion becoming the very face of the company.
Angel smirked before saying.
Angel Kash: Plus we all know it will look better around my waist than yours.
Serena Riot: “I don’t wanna hear it. I don’t wanna hear any-damn-thing from you. You won gold? Yeah congrats. You were the face of the company? Yeah congrats. But everything you did. Every single accomplishment you ever had was because I laid the foundation. And now, look where we’re at. You should be downright ashamed that I’m back. Because you can’t do your job, and carry the show. The only thing you’re gonna’ be carrying is my bags after tonight!”
Angel laughs in a bitchy tone, fling her long blonde hair out of her face a bit. As the Princess soon begins to speak.
Angel Kash: Ashamed you’re back, I am ashamed of this company begging you back after you ran off the first time. But carry your bags honey I got people who do that for me, I am no one's bag carrier never have been never will be. After this match you will realize that the times have changed there's no Kai Morgan around here anymore, No Sara Cross, no one to hold me back. Fusion will be just like Mayhem soon enough a show controlled by those born with Privilege.
Serena Riot: “Well, we agree on one thing, after all this jab. The times have changed. I agree, they have. We have new Champs, we have the most robust roster we’ve seen since, like ever. But there is one thing we disagree on. And that’s the fact that at the end of the day, I look at you, I hear what you’ve said. And it doesn’t change my mind. You aren’t worth the paper money get’s printed on. And tonight, I’m making it my mission. I’m not only gonna’ kick your ass. I’m gonna make you stay down.”
Serena inches closer to Angel’s face, giving her a big smirk.
Angel moves eyes with a look of disgust before hauling off and nailing the Goat with a big slap knocking her down. As Sarena goes to fight back security comes in and breaks up the two, as the scene then fades to black.
"Ayu will be like her sisters, Megumi is the same, they can't be trusted!"
Ayu Megumi's keep on reading the comment on social media of Zion Wrestling when she signed with Zion. Ayu doesn't understand why they hurry to judge her. She keeps reading comments on social media.
"I don't know why I must trust this girl, She is Megumi right? They are the same, she will end up joining the darkside soon."
Ayu *sigh*
"I don't know why she has to pretend she is a good girl too, shouldn't the siblings be the same in the end? That's why we shouldn't trust her."
Ayu *sigh*
"Megumi will do the Megumi thing. Sure she will do like she is told. She will turn heel soon. That is the Megumi thing."
Ayu *sigh*
"Oh? This bitch from NFW? Nah, why did she sign with ZION? She can't succeed in NFW? Need help from her sisters?"
Ayu *sigh*
Ayu just enough from negative comments. She shut down her computer and let's a loud sigh and shook her head.
Ayu Megumi: Sorry I will make it clear. Ayu will do the Megumi things. Yes, I will do the Megumi things but not join the darkside, not join the Violence Artists you guys no need to worry about that.
Ayu Megumi: So, let's move on
Ayu Megumi: This Friday, my first chance at ZION WRESTLING, I admit I'm really excited. This is a great opportunity that many people are looking for. But I got it, I didn't want to disappoint the people who gave me this opportunity. I will do my best even if this is a confrontation with an opponent that is more experienced than me. I'm facing Charley Dawson, I'm facing Elijah Copeland, I'm facing Angel Kash, ex-Zion Wrestling Championship, I'm facing ex-Zion World Heavyweight Championship Serena Riot, and a mysterious opponent, but are they the one to stop me? no! No one in this match can stop me. My career path has just begun. And I want to be successful. This match I know it's a very difficult match for me. But to be successful, this is a match that I must pass. I don't need an excuse if I lose this match. I will do everything as best as I can. I don't want people to look at me as too weak to take a chance. or being pushed too hard I will do my best and no one can look down on me after this match. This is my starting point, here I will not let anyone insult me. I will step up to that ring with confidence. and win this match. I don't know who you guys want to win this match but I will do my best. I will walk out with victory. I won't let a single person stop me. Let's wait and see what happens in this match. But I promise it will be me on the best day. I will do whatever it takes to make this match end the way I want.
Ayu Megumi: Charley Dawson. I don't know much about you, but as far as I see you on social media, you have the same goals as me. You want to be the winner of this match. You just came here like me. But I will tell you not to just choose to cut my name out of this match. Because I'm one of the participants in this match, that means I still have a chance to win this match. Even if you think you can be a winner That's what you'll have to prove on the ring in the upcoming Friday night. Will you be able to do what you said? I don't know, it's up to you whether you can do what you want or not.
Ayu Megumi: Elijah Copeland. You are another opponent who wants to win this match, that's what I know. I see you trying to win, I admire you so much. I want you to be the winner of a match at odds like this one time. But definitely not in this match. Elijah, you are an admirable opponent. But I came to win. Even if you try to stop me with anything I will do my best to survive and become the winner of this match. Even though you tried, I will try to be better than you and everyone in this match. I hope you will be able to achieve some success in the future. But this match I'll have to say I'll take this opportunity before you.
Ayu Megumi: Angel Kash. You said you'll be the first to ever hold both the Zion Wrestling Championship and the Zion World Heavyweight Championship. I have to say that we and you don't have a problem with me. I'm not Nami and I'm not going to talk about what happened to you. my girl Okay, I respect that you think that way, you've shown a winner. You show your needs But it's not as easy as you think, Angel, you have to win the match to get your chance and that doesn't guarantee you can become the new champion. It's not that easy. So when this match comes and if it doesn't end the way you want. You can't blame anyone if you're not doing well enough.
Ayu Megumi: Serena Riot. Once you were the Zion World Heavyweight Championship. It was an honor for me to face you. I hope I can impress you no matter what happens in this match. Nice to meet you once I know you want to face Maki, but I finally got that chance before I do my best! No matter what happens in this match I'm honored enough to be able to fight everyone in this match. I don't know what will happen in this match, it might be you who wins. But I will try! Try as much as you can! I absolutely will not let this opportunity go to waste.
Ayu Megumi: So, mystery opponents. Whoever you are, see you in the ring! Believe today, shine tomorrow.

Crystal Caldwell enters the ring with the Detroit fans firmly behind her. This isn’t lost on the other five competitors in the ring, all of whom stare down Fusion’s newest acquisition before the bell rings.
Without even a moment’s hesitation, everyone else in the match bombards Crystal Caldwell with a set of vicious punches! The five of them hoist her up, before dumping her out of the ring! All of them dust their hands off, neutralizing the hometown energy of Caldwell and looking to continue the match. One of the competitors is more eager to end this match early than others, however, as Ayu Megumi turns around right into a SUPERKICK by Charley Dawson! He goes for the pin!

Her whinging quickly gets cut off however, with Serena Riot jumping in to hit a Superkick to the side of Kash’s head! She attempts to crawl away from Riot, with the former World Heavyweight Champion giving chase to her! She gets her to her feet, looking for a Powerbomb, but Kash escapes, just in time for Elijah Copeland to come in and leather her with a Bicycle Kick! Riot rolls out of the ring, leaving Copeland and Kash as the only ones currently standing! Kash suggests an alliance between the two, with Copeland accepting as the two go after Ayu Megumi!

Her and Megumi come face to face, with the most respectful of the Megumi’s offering a bow to Caldwell, who returns with one of her own! The two go for one another now, with Megumi catching Caldwell with a Legsweep! Caldwell is able to catch her own balance however, kipping up and catching Megumi’s head in the process for a Hurricanrana! Megumi is able to reverse this however, front flipping forward and landing on her feet! Her and Caldwell come to a stand off, with the crowd coming to a fever pitch at the sight of these two throwing down!

Caldwell makes it up to her feet, turning around right into a Superkick from Elijah Copeland! She falls to the mat as Angel Kash rushes into the ring, catching a Superkick from Copeland as well! Ayu Megumi shows signs of life, attempting to get to her feet only to be met with a Superkick from Copeland! Serena Riot re-enters the fray now, deciding to take flight with a Springboard move to Copeland!

Amber Westgate: Coming up on top against odds like that in your debut AND pinning a former Zion Wrestling Champion to boot? Zachary Porter has his work cut out for him when he touches down in Pittsburgh!
Crystal celebrates outside the ring with Alexandra, with the two journeying to the back as we cut to gorilla position!
WINNER: CRYSTAL CALDWELL
RESULT: PINFALL
The cameras show us Crystal and Alexandra Caldwell walking to the backstage area. Alexandra is all smiles as is Crystal. The two just smile at one another as they exactly smirk at one another.
Alexandra: GIRL!
Crystal: Girl!!!!
Alexandra: GIRL!!!!!
Crystal: GIRL!!!!!
Meliana walks over to the two of them as she moves her eyes from Crystal than over to Alexandra.
Meliana: First and foremost can I just say from the bottom of my heart that it is a pleasure to see you both right here on Fusion!!! Crystal Caldwell tonight you had an amazing debut! Not only were you the mystery competitor but you have punched your ticket and you are next in line for the World Heavyweight Championship. All does it feel to be one match in and already a main event star!
Alexandra claps her hands excitedly as she tosses her hair about.
Alexandra: Girl!!! Let me tell you about MY GIRL! Tonight she was DAT GIRL!!! Tonight she came into the Little Caesars arena and she took care of business. Now it’s time to get to the basics and it’s time to take a bite out of a Zachary Porterhouse steak and show the world why she is the best talent in the world!
Crystal: You want to know how I feel?! I feel ELECTRIC! Not only did I win but this is something that I needed. I compete in a lot of companies and nobody wants to take me seriously. I held 19 World Championships throughout my career! I am inducted into 4 different hall of fames but people just want to sweep that under the rug like I am trash or something. No… You got it twisted. Tonight Zion gave me a chance to shine. I truly was a Crystal tonight and in my home town of DETROIT MICHIGAN!!! With the electricity of the crowd behind me I was able to go to that ring and do what I do best! I was able to win and now I feel I have ignited that flame again. Just in case you might be wondering this wasn’t a one and done affair either. Crystal CALDWELL has arrived on Fusion Fridays but more important than that. I am not on this journey alone!
Crystal smirks as she looks at Alexandra as she cracks a wicked grin and places an arm around her.
Crystal: My lovely wife is my manager and she is going to make sure that I show up to show out! I know everybody right here in the 313 is happy. I was born and bred in this very city. They love me and I love each and every single one of them. Now Zachary Porter he is tough peoples and I respect him as a champion. However as good as HE might be the fact is I am Crystal FUCKING CALDWELL… I am the woman who was meant to be the featured attraction. I am the woman who’s name just got lit up in the huge marquee. I am now the main event and I trust in Zion. I trust in Fusion and I appreciate all of the fans who love to cheer my name. With everything beating inside of me I will do everything in my power to win that World Heavyweight Championship.
The crowd in the background could be heard chanting Crystal over and over again. Crystal smiles as she flicks her bluish green hair as she looks over at Alexandra.
Alexandra: One show in and my girl already got them chanting her name. I think it’s time for the entire world to see BLACK!
Crystal: Paint it all BLACK!!! Beat up Zachary so bad until he
Alexandra and Crystal: BLACK’S OUT!
Meliana: So what brings you to Fusion Crystal?!
Crystal: Opportunity. It’s my chance to shine and I will make the most of everything that comes my way. The world will see it the way WE want to see it.
Alexandra: And if not it’s time to BLACK OUT the competition, my girl is here to catch Dubs!
With that Crystal smiles as she has a can of spray paint. The crowd goes crazy as she sprays BO on the wall. She sprays the camera lens.
Crystal: Fade to BLACK!!! Love you Detroit!
With that you can hear the can being tossed aside as the two women walk away going elsewhere.
The cameraman stumbled through the backstage area, wondering what would be next. Two women in black cloaks are following the cameraman through the halls, the cameraman paranoid about everything turns around. The two women vanish into the darkness, the cameraman turns back around, bumping into a large figure. Ms. J had appeared behind him, knowing that she would find him eventually, and the sisters had done what she had expected them to do which was lead him to her.
Ms. J: the Queen demands your presence, I do not know why she tolerates you so, but she still wants you.
Ms. J takes him sliding two coins into his pockets. She pushes him along, until such a time, as they come to a doorway, the cameraman could already smell the fire, but he refused to enter. Ms. J gave him no choice, as she reached for the door handle opening the door pushing the cameraman inside. He turned around, but the door slammed quickly behind him. He stood behind Legion, who was wearing her rebreather, tossing one back to him. The cameraman catches it putting it on, looking at the queen who still has her back to him.
”the Fire Queen” Legion: You know this place was once hustle and bustle. The land full of vibrancy and life, but then the fires came, and we could not stop them, and death soon followed. Maybe the people here would have been better if we did not come, but the world would not be ours then.
Legion took a breath, the machine on her face hissed loudly. She then turned around, her amber eyes looking at the man standing before, her, the YouTube Championship snug securely around her waist, underneath the black trenchcoat she wore. She then looked at him, as she took another breath.
”the Fire Queen” Legion: So here in this place, the fire continues to burn. The Greek fire, ever burning, no one knew how to put it out. That is what we are, the thing that people have tried to extinguish over the years, and have yet to find a way, because that one small spark, always creates a new fire. When we came back again, we did not expect anything. The Hive, the House given a new purpose, take down everyone and everything in front of us, with no reasoning, no mercy.
Legion then looked over the cliff, smiling a bit, taking off her title, hoisting it up in the air, looking at the cameraman, the red lightning hitting her, followed by the title. Two wolves are heard howling off the side of the cliff face walking along the path, snarling. The cameraman moves towards Legion, as the two wolves come through the smoke, one of blue eyes the other of Silver. Legion motioned for them to lie down, which they did, as she looked at him.
”the Fire Queen” Legion: Tonight, begins the first chapter of the story of the YouTube Champion, and her quest to be the dominant force. Challengers will come, and try to take this from us. Watch as they try to figure out what the virus has to offer, and then they fall to us, because they have yet to crack the code.
Legion then cackles, the lightning strikes her, her eyes close as it does. She then opens her eyes, the crackle of the lightning coursing through them, she then quickly turns her head, lifting her hand to the cameraman, who pulls the two coins out of his pocket. She inspects them, then places them in the jacket pocket. She then looks at him.
”the Fire Queen” Legion: Come one, come all, the YouTube Champion awaits you. Tonight, the first one will step up and the Open Challenge begins. Kat Lopez, you made the wrong decision to host an open challenge.
Legion winked, as she then snapped her fingers starting to walk towards the smoke. The two wolves follow her, keeping pace with her. The cameraman looked at the cliff’s edge, seeing the door has appeared. Legion then reappears behind him giving him a soft push, he fell through the door, as Legion laughed then pulled her door shut. The camera returns to the arena for the next match.

RESULT: SUBMISSION
The shot goes backstage where Meliana Rodrigo is standing by with a microphone. Jordan Majors runs in from the side and gives her a hug as she smiles ear-to-ear. Meliana laughs for a moment before looking at the camera and shrugging.
Meliana Rodrigo: Well, as you can see, I'm joined backstage by Jordan Majors who we last saw in the ring with a triumphant win over Razzles Mars at Destiny. Razzles is now headed to a championship match at Clairty after being drafted to Mayhem and--
Jordan Majors: No surprise there, by the way.
Meliana Rodrigo: The question is, what's next for you? We already had one contenders match tonight and we have another later on. But with you it's just a match against Hana Kaneko. What are your thoughts on that?
Jordan takes a moment to collect her thoughts and the silence hangs heavily between them.
Jordan Majors: You know, I'm not sure. I obviously hoped that performance at Destiny might put me in their minds as someone worth of contendership, but... I don't make the decisions here. All I can do is keep fighting my tail off everytime I'm booked in a match and never stop making an impact in the ring. Contenders match or not, I know I beat one of the best wrestlers in this entire company at Destiny. She's a sure-fire future star for Zion. My time will come. And when it does, I will earn my way to that opportunity. For now... I'm just going to trat every match like it's an opportunity to show them they're missing out if they aren't thinking about me.
Meliana nods at Jordan's answer and then tilts her head.
Meliana Rodrigo: You're one of a few people in this company who have had the unique chance to face a lot of new members of Fusion when they sign or are traded or drafted. What do you know about Hana?
Jordan Majors: I know she's fought hard in a lot of matches and come up short more often than not. But I'm not going to spend too much time focusing on what she hasn't done. She's obviously capable of more. She probably fought at her best at Destiny and so she's definitely going to be looking to build off of that performance. And what better way than against a former champion of this brand, on her first day on this brand. Let's just be clear, I've never overlooked or underlooked anyone. You're going to get everything I have to offer. There's a reason I held a belt longer than anyone else in this company. It's the same reason I know I'll be back. Hana looks tough. She's like a... freaking ninja or something. We'll see who kicks the hardest in the end though.
Jordan smiles at Meliana and gives her a wink. She walks past Meliana and heads for the entry way to the ramp.
