We come in to sold out Allstate Arena! A huge welcome back worthy pyro set goes off over the stage as we cut to the announce table!
Eddie Red Apples: Only two weeks away from YouTube Invasion: Steel City and I have a feeling things are gonna turn up tonight! Welcome…to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Eddie Red Apples, joined tonight by my broadcast partner, Amber Westgate!
Amber Westgate: Huge night tonight, Eddie! We have two title matches that are sure to be great, as well as a big Trios main event!
Eddie Red Apples: And only so little time! Let’s get on with it!
We open up inside the ring where we see Christina Olson standing, her pink hair flowing down her shoulders in a bodysuit that hugs her curves and shows off her assets a little bit. She looks around at the crowd, microphone in hand.
Christina Olson: What's up, Rosemont?
The crowd gives Christina a little pop at the mention of the town as she just smiles.
Christina Olson: Now, last week, I found myself with a chance I didn't think I deserved and hell, I'm sure most of you and the people in that locker room probably felt the same way. What have I done on my own that deserved a shot at the top title here on Fusion? I didn't earn that shot, but I was given a chance to show that I do deserve to be in that conversation and at that level on my own.
The crowd cheers and a small "You deserve it!" chant breaks out from a percentage of the crowd.
Christina Olson: I came out here last week against Zachary Porter, a man I respect, and I came out fighting like the warrior I am. I left it all in that ring and I was so close to defeating Zachary, but for some reason, Morgana Summers had to get involved. I don't care about why, I just know she did and Morgana, I know you're here tonight, so get your ass out here and let's fight!
The crowd cheers as Christina drops the microphone and looks right at the entrance, yelling for Morgana to come to the ring.
A banshee scream rings throughout the arena speakers as the lights of the arena go out leaving a spotlight. Morgana Summers walks into it. She takes her time, smirking at Christina, saying nothing, despite having a mic in hand. Morgana just soaks in the boos from the crowd. Christina doesn't move, just staring daggers right at the woman as she makes her way down.
There are a few instances where it looks as if she might speak, but Morgana never does. She slowly walks down to ringside, the light following her. As she gets on the apron, the tron begins to play video footage of Christina falling off the top rope. It plays on loop. From the apron, Morgana is giggling, amused every time.
Christina watches the loop, each time, the anger building on her face before she can't take it anymore. She charges right at Morganna who drops to the floor just before Christina can get her hands on her. Morgana looks up at Christina, pulling something out and tossing it into the ring at Christina's feet before she winks and just skips back up the ramp, hands behind her back.
Christina looks down and picks up the item at her feet and stares at it as the camera zooms in on it, showing that it's a half heart necklace and on Christina's face, you can tell it means something to her. She notices a piece of paper attached to it and pulls it off, reading what was on it. The scowl on her face grows as she crumples the paper and tosses it down before she hops out of the ring and walks up the ramp with a clear purpose.
Match #1: ARIA vs Mai Blackman © (Viral Championship Match)
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: And it is for the Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPIONSHIP!
The lights shut out for a few seconds before then suddenly the music started playing, there wasn't any smoke at all or any theatrics, it was just a simple violin playing to get the crowd hyped up. They cheered in response when they saw what was happening, spotlights shining around the entrance and on the ramp, the violin making the crowd hyped up before the guitar kicked right in and the lights turned into a deep blue color and Aria was standing there in the middle of the entrance ramp.
She had a small nervous expression on her face as she appeared. She slowly closed her eyes and stood there taking a deep breath as the camera zoomed in right on her and then in a split second, she opened her eyes right back up with a determined expression on her face as the song went through the violin solo.
She walked down the ramp with fighting intent, still trying to show a possitive attitude being able to make up a smile while high fiving a few of the fans. She calmly walked up the steel steps and stood on the edge of the ring, taking in the atmosphere from the audience before she shot up onto the top of the corner and stood up in the top with determination on her expression as the guitar solo kicked right in, blue sea fireworks shooting up right out of the entrance to wow the crowd and hype Aria up as well. They finally settled down and Aria looked around at the audience once last time before she slowly sat down on the top rope.
As the opening guitar riff sounds throughout the arena, all focus goes to the entryway. As the guitar starts to pick up, the silhouette of an imposing woman comes stepping out onto the stage. The video wall comes to life with quick clips of Mai Blackman in her old youtube series focusing on her former career as a bounty hunter. Through home video and go-pro cams, we see her aggressively dealing with individuals; mostly focusing on her encounters with bounties who decided to get aggressive. Mai is seen subduing them with a particularly brutal martial art. This highlight reel is intercut with the name BLACKMAN being plastered across the video wall to resemble cold steel. Meanwhile, the entryway fills with smoke as the lights begin to flicker and as the lyrics to the song begin, Mai Blackman finally makes her physical appearance, dressed in her tights, sports top and boots with kick pads. A towel is hung over her neck and her black hair is tied back into a tight short ponytail. The look on her face is enough to kill.
♫♫Standing up being a captive my disease
And I'll start when I want to start
It's not a trip, but a divine right to be
This is my castle and I'm keeping it all locked♫♫
♫♫'Cause I won't see what I've become
United divided, indulged by myself
But never wrong♫♫
Another wave of boos erupts from the crowd as Mai looks up to take in her surroundings. A smug smirk, dripping with arrogance, slips through her scowl as she starts to loosen up; bouncing on her toes, shaking her arms down at her side and throwing a few loose air punches at the ground.
♫♫I'd save the egos for another day
Stand back and watch this fall...♫♫
Mai makes her way to the center of the stage, waving off the hateful reaction from the crowd. She then brings her attention to the ring where her opponent awaits and rolls her neck. Mai looks down the ramp with a predatory grin on her face like a hunter prepared to go for the kill. Finally, she steps onto the ramp and approaches the ring, motioning with her hands that she’s right there and ready. She yells “Let’s do this shit!” as she begins descending the ramp.
♫♫Cage me up, tie me down, bring me around
Tell me something's gotta change and I'm not
Cut my reputation, be it quietly aggravating
I butchered everything and what's the cost♫♫
♫♫'Cause I won't see what I've become
United divided, indulged by myself
But never wrong♫♫
♫♫I'd save the egos for another day
Stand back and watch this fall from grace...♫♫
Mai Blackman moves with a sense of purpose down the ramp towards the ring; head tilted down, eyes on the ring with that murderous scowl on her face again. As she reaches ringside, she pauses to bounce side to side on her toes again before rounding the corner to the ring. She runs up onto the apron, turning to defiantly face the booing crowd as she opens out her arms with that arrogant smirk again. She loves the hate they’re throwing at her. It fuels her. It feeds her aggression and her sense of focus as she bursts up the steps and enters the ring. Mai immediately goes into a rope run across the mat. Mai finally rolls forward on the mat and comes up onto one knee with her fists up in a fighter’s pose before hopping up to her feet and moving to her corner. She throws her towel out of the ring, subsequently nailing the timekeeper and tells him to hold that for her. Mai pulls on the ropes, warming up a bit before the bell as she bares her mouthguard in a sinister grin.
Alex Lawson: Introducing first, the challenger…from Chandler, Arizona…weighing in at 125 lbs…”The Sacred Detective”...ARIA!
And her opponent…from Chicago, Illinois…weighing in at 135 lbs…she is the Zion Wrestling VIRAL! CHAMPION!...MAI! BLACKMAN!
ARIA doesn’t hesitate off the bell, rushing right into a Collar-and-Elbow Tie Up on Blackman! She quickly transitions into a Wristlock on the submission specialist, almost as though her moves were planned even before the bell! Her plan quickly falls apart however, with Blackman reversing with a Wristlock of her own before moving around her for a Waistlock! ARIA quickly reverses now, throwing Blackman to the mat with a Snapmare! Blackman immediately gets to her feet, rushing towards ARIA and right into a Side Headlock from the challenger! The two back into the ropes with Blackman using the momentum to push ARIA across the ring and into the opposite ropes! Blackman looks to catch her upon her return, but ARIA swerves her, sliding between Blackman’s legs and popping up for a Dropkick! Blackman staggers back into the ropes, with ARIA sending her off with an Irish Whip! Blackman reverses with an Irish Whip of her own, but ARIA wrenches the arm, rushing towards the ropes and climbing to the top for a Springboard Arm Drag! But Blackman reverses, pulling ARIA straight to the mat instead before going for the pin!

She rolls through, getting ARIA up again before taking her down with a second German Suplex! She gets her up once more, this time launching ARIA across the ring and right onto her neck with a final German Suplex! ARIA falls worryingly still on the mat, with the official now stepping in to separate the two and check on her! Blackman becomes increasingly annoyed at this, eventually pushing the referee away so that ARIA isn’t given time to recover! This seems to be a trap however, with ARIA springing to life the moment Blackman approaches her and trapping her in an Inside Cradle Pin!

It seems to be too late however, with Blackman rushing over and smashing a knee right into the side of ARIA’s head!

ARIA puts her arms up in an attempt to defend herself, but Blackman breaks through it, firing off with progressively stiff strikes until a ghastly sight begins to become more apparent! The official pulls Blackman off of her opponent, revealing a red streak beginning to permeate ARIA’s forehead! She begins to stir, completely disoriented as the red streak continues to grow!

It becomes very apparent that ARIA’s been busted open as Blackman climbs onto her for a pin!

Blackman is the one who rushes to the other corner for another attack now, with ARIA coming right after her to hit her with a Yakuza Kick! She pulls her out of the corner, pulling her right into a Belly-To-Belly Suplex!
Both women are laid out on the mat, neither of them able to move as the referee begins a ten count!

ARIA is in trouble here, with Blackman squeezing down around the head as much as she can! She begins to move, slowly working Blackman off the mat as she squeezes tighter to cease her efforts! ARIA begins to fall limp, with the official prodding her to check if she’s still conscious! She doesn’t respond at first, however right before the referee turns to call for the bell, she raises a defiant arm in the air! She begins to lift Blackman up successfully now, slowly getting to her feet before pushing off the champion! Blackman lands on her feet, running towards ARIA to keep control in her favor!

RESULT: PINFALL
The view cuts to a dark enough room with some light smoke that's only visible via a light bulb on a string. At the forefront of the shot sits Chance Briefcase holder Katelin Descarrilado, in her all-black entrance gear. Said briefcase rests in her hand as the Devil In The Details holds one hand over the other in front of her.
Katelin Descarrilado: Disruption and shaking the status quo. That's what all of this has been about. In just four matches, this is exactly what I've done. And I have the posse to prove it... with more to come soon. Isn't that right, ladies?
Said view does a slow zoom away from Descarrilado to the Zion World Tag Team Champions, Code Black, who look up from the ground in unison.
Ravyn Nightshade: VAMPS had to figure out the hard way. We do what we want and get whatever we want for OUR benefit. And since the day we opened up shop in Fusion, we’ve done just that. We have built this foundation to get on top of the mountain and have these “Glamour Bitches” licking our boots, thanking us for ALLOWING you to exist in our world. It seems fitting that we would align with someone who will solidify our stranglehold in this brand. Someone who thinks just like us.
Olivia nods her head to acknowledge her sister’s comment. Before long, she begins to speak.
Olivia Nightshade: When we came here, we were already Queens. With Katelin with us and my sister and I getting back what rightfully belongs to us...
Olivia pats her championship belt in response.
Olivia Nightshade: ...you can all consider us as your fucking GODS! And there is NO WAY we’re giving any of this up! And if by chance you blokes have any problem with that? And there’s no doubt there’s going to be lots of you. PLEASE. Bring it on, bitches! You are looking at the force that’s going to drive Fusion to the next level, no matter who’s necks we step on to get there. So if you were scared about this situation back then...
The larger of the two sisters laughs before looking back to the camera with a bit of a devious smirk to her.
Olivia Nightshade: You haven’t seen anything yet.
Olivia strokes her belt with a slight giggle while Ravyn pats her sister on the shoulder. Katelin reappears behind the two, hooking her arms over a shoulder each. Still holding the Chance Briefcase.
Katelin Descarrilado: Despite the name Avalanche, we’ll see to it that the rest of you burn to the ground. I suggest bowing before you make it any worse on yourselves.
With that line, the view slowly fades to black.
Katelin Descarrilado: Disruption and shaking the status quo. That's what all of this has been about. In just four matches, this is exactly what I've done. And I have the posse to prove it... with more to come soon. Isn't that right, ladies?

Match #2: Jordan Majors & Hana Kaneko vs Los Ding Dongs

Eddie Red Apples: Jordan Majors and Hana Kaneko take the win tonight, showing themselves as a formidable team!
Amber Westgate: Will this union stand, though? That remains the question!
Jordan helps Hana to her feet and smiles as she gives her a high five and then pulls her close. They’re good time is suddenly stopped however, with Olivia and Ravyn Nightshade rushing into the ring and attacking both of them! The two stomp Majors and Kaneko into the mat repeatedly, only being stopped with the arrival of Amara Sterling and Lynn D’Agosto! The former World Tag Champions work together to pull Olivia away from, hitting her with INVICTUS!! Ravyn steps in now, sending D’Agosto away with a Knee Strike before turning around right into the CASH OUT!! MAJORS WITH THE CUTTER!! The tag champions roll out of the ring, with their four rivals all standing near the ropes and taunting them as we fade out!
WINNER: JORDAN MAJORS & HANA KANEKO
RESULT: PINFALL
We cut to the backstage area and we are able to see Alexandra and Crystal Caldwell. The Caldwells are over excited as Alex claps her hands
Alexandra: I give to you the future World Heavyweight of all of Zion. She is my girl Crystal Caldwell!
Crystal grins as she looks right into the camera
Crystal: Every single week it just seems like I stand in front of a camera and I am passionate to be the World Heavyweight Champion. I pour my heart trying to build up the fact that I am the next in line for a championship match yet Zach Porter fails to even acknowledge my existence. He fails to see that I am the burning rose and I have all of the ability in the world to set his entire world in flames!
Alexandra: That is because his head seems to be in other places! He is more focused on what is in front of him like Christina Olson among other things. While that sounds good the reality is who he should be focused on is my girl! The woman who came to this company and became a main event star in just her first outing Crystal!
Crystal nods her head with a grin as she continues to speak.
Crystal: Damn right I did and I will continue to prove to everybody why I am the best of the best! However I have to first get through Charley Dawson and I am not even worried about having him stand in the ring with me! You see I only care about one thing. I came to be a champ and I will do whatever it takes to get what I want!
Crystal looks at her wife before she turns her attention back over to the camera.
Crystal: Zach I actually want to apologize maybe it was wrong of me to make threats when that isn’t who I am.
Alexandra: Especially when I am only here for moral support! If you start stuff with people I am not going to have your back!
Crystal: Oh gee thanks… The fact is Zach I want you to be watching! It won’t be long until the two of us will be in a very good place. I want things to be honorable between us. Dawson! Best of luck because you certainly will need it. Tonight I continue making strives and prove why I am here for a reason. Watch out Zion but the Burning Rose will set everything ablaze.
Alexandra: Flame on!
With that the two of them are all smiles as we go elsewhere

WINNER: HAYUMI YAMAMOTO
RESULT: PINFALL
The scene opens up on the flickering glow of a slowly dying fire. The flames are low now, lazily licking the air. The logs, once solid, have been burned through. Glowing orange embers are all that now remain. We see a large backed, ornate chair seated towards the fire. The rest of the lobby in the Hotel California is dark, the time obviously late onto the evening. A small wooden table sots just next to the chair, upon which rests a partially drunk glass of scotch. A feminine hand reaches out and takes the glass, another mouthful presumably taken as the glass is once again put back down. The hand makes a "come hither" motion towards the camera which slowly moves towards the chair.
Penelope: "You can come closer…I don't bite. Usually."
A soft giggle is heard as the camera moves around to the front of the chair. In the glow of the firelight we see Immortal Atrocities member Penelope. Dressed in a black suit, she is seated quite comfortably, legs crossed at the knee as she sits back in the chair.
Penelope: "There. That's better isn't it? I don't like to yell…especially when so many in the hotel are sleeping. It's one of the rare times when the voices are quiet. But every now and then you'll hear them getting restless."
She looks up towards the ceiling where, as if on cue, a low wail is heard wafting from from of the upper floors of the hotel. Penelope smiles, her arm extending as if to say, 'see?'. She reaches over, taking the glass in her hand.
Penelope: "Yu-ki-ko…Ku-san-agi…"
Penelope chuckles, enunciating her opponent's name as she swirls the contents in her glass before her. She takes a sip, the smile on her face made eerier due to the firelight.
Penelope: "The Osaka Devil."
Her voice is a few octaves lower, head moving as she speaks in a decidedly mocking fashion. She takes another sip of her drink, keeping hold of the glass.
Penelope: "You've been impressive, I'll give you that much. Undefeated so far in Zion since your debut. A convincing win over Thalia Starks…putting the boots to the young girl after the bell?"
Penelope tuts tuts wagging her finger.
Penelope: "The utter annihilation of one Maki Megumi. You toyed with her as a cat would with a mouse. Content to keep her squirming until you finally grew bored and…"
She silently snakes an index finger across the throat.
Penelope: "Using poor Zara Ivory to send a message to the person you really wanted to fight, Cherry Addams."
Penelope kinds nods, not minding the Japanese fighters penchant for public displays of unabashed mayhem, nor her apparent choice of challenge drops."
Penelope: "You and Cherry had one hell of a fight…beating each other all over the area."
Penelope 'claps' using her free hand up against the glass, before lifting it up.
Penelope: "A toast to you both for putting on an amazing No Disqualification match. And once again Yukiko, you pick up the victory making it a perfect four from four."
Penelope's smile fades as she looks down at her glass, quickly finishing it in on gulp and setting the glass down hard on the table. She looks at my the camera, the fire reflecting erriely in her left eye with its black iris.
Penelope: "And where has all this carnage, and violence, and bloodshed lead you Kusanagi? Right to me…"
She says answering her own question.
Penelope: "There are many words I could use to describe you Yukiko. Sadist. Masochist. Bloodthirsty. Animalistic. You use the ring to test yourself, savouring the pain and torment you put your opponents through. And yet simultaniously wanting someone…anyone to put an end to you. Like an old horse being taken behind the barn to be put down, you hand them the gun. You put the barrel to your head and yet…they can't pull the trigger can they?
Penelope removes her hand from her head, having turned it into a gun to illustrate her point.
Penelope: "It must be so incredibly frustrating for you. To long so desparately for it all to end and to be continuously disappointed. But for all that you are, and all that you bring to the ring…a Devil? Thee Devil? I think not…"
She laughs lightly, brushing some of her blonde hair out of her face.
Penelope: "No, you see Yukiko…I've seen the Devil in the flesh. I've sat at his table, listening to his pontifications as I ate foods and imbibed drinks that defy description such was there quality. Then, after we were done, he took my hand as he lead Eli and I towards his throne overlooking the firey pits of Hell. The orchestral screams of pain and.pleasure from the souls being tortured rising up to greet us. There were two additional seats…one on either side. He turned to us and he said, "While the desire to keep you both here beats wildly within my heart, I cannot. Your seats at my side will remain until such time as I can utilize your special talents here more fully. But for now I have more urgent needs that require your attention.'. He leaned down and whispered into my ear…"
Penelope leans forward, her grin wide and toothly.
Penelope: "Spread my word young one…mark those who will one day come to meet me."
Penelope leans back, relaxing again.
Penelope: "So we shall, the Immortal Atrocities. Spreading the word through voice and action…one after another, again and again. You say that you came here to fight Yukiko? That you came to Zion to hurt people. You say that you want blood, and violence, and gold. Well I can't give you gold…that is the errand of s fool. But I can give you the violence you so desparately crave. And there will be blood…oh yes, and you will give it freely to me. I have been inches from Death Yukiko. I walked to the edge and I looked out into the abyss and I did so willingly."
She reaches up, touching her throat almost reflexivly where Eli Buchanan had damn near strangled her to death. Her left eye twitches slightly, the black iris a parting gift from the encounter.
Penelope: "I was willing to give my life right there in that ring…I was so close to the brink I could feel the heat waiting to welcome me like a lovers warm embrace. But I knew Yukiko, that it wasn't my time. Just like I know now, that there is nothing you can do to me to stop me from doing what I must. We will take you all…one by one…into the darkness from which there is no return. You will get your ending my dear, by my own two hands you will fall. And as you look into my eyes you will realize one thing…"
Penelope stands, getting out of the chair as she smooth out her suit. She speaks, although suprisingly it's in Japanese.
Penelope: "Koko ni hairu anata gata no subete no kibō o sute nasai…"
(Throw away all your hopes that enter here)
She smiles, the translated line from Dante's Divine Comedy having been delivered. And then she turns, walling silently back into the shadows of the lobby. The firelight illuminating her until such time as she was far enough away to disappear entirely. The camera turns over towards the fire before fading to black.
