As the opening video closes, the lights to the Hiroshima Green Arena go out, the stage illuminating to the beat of the second half 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 arena bursts to life, with lights spanning the entire arena as we pan over the crowd packing the stands! We go to the commentary booth where Eddie Red Apples and Amber Westgate are standing by!
Eddie Red Apples: With just seven weeks to go until the biggest show of the year, and one more week to go until we find out who fights for the top prize when we get there, it’s time for the blue crew to make an impact! Welcome everyone…to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Eddie Red Apples, joined as always by my broadcast partner Amber Westgate!
Amber Westgate: Like you said, Eddie, we are one week away from what is sure to be huge first in the March Madness Gauntlet! Lots of Zion competitors looking to get a word in before then, as well as blockbuster Trios Championship Main Event to top it all off! Let’s get to the action!
OPENING CONTEST: AYU MEGUMI VS ZACHARY PORTER
Alex Lawson: The following contest…is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Alex Lawson: Introducing first…from Okinawa, Japan…weighing in at 115 lbs…Ayu! Megumi!
And her opponent…representing The Void…from Laredo, Texas, weighing in at 190 lbs…Zachary! Porter!
Eddie Red Apples: Zachary Porter must be determined tonight to cut a path through Ayu Megumi right before the March Madness Gauntlet!
Amber Westgate: Ayu Megumi is no slouch, though! Porter is gonna have to go through hell if he looks to beat her tonight!
Porter and Megumu circle the ring around each other before going for a lock up! Porter is able to get the upper hand in the beginning, pushing Megumi back into the corner! The official threatens a five count to break the two up, with Porter eventually releasing Megumi! This peacefulness doesn’t last long however, with Porter cocking back his arm and unleashing with a Back Elbow! He hits Megumi with another one, and another! He eventually rushes out into the opposite corner in preparation for another assault! But Megumi gets the jump on him, bursting out of her corner and nailing him with a European Uppercut as he reaches the opposite end of the ring! She hits the ropes as Porter staggers out of the corner, looking for another move! But Porter sidesteps her, sending her into the ropes again! She takes advantage, jumping to the second rope and nailing Porter with a European Uppercut!
Porter falls to the mat, crawling towards the corner and using the turnbuckles to get himself vertical again! This leaves an opening for Megumi to strike, going for a Yakuza Kick! But Porter dodges it, leaving Megumi’s leg hanging on the top rope! Porter takes advantage, kicking Megumi in the back before boosting her up to the top rope! He gets up on the turnbuckles with her, getting her in position before taking her to the mat with an Avalanche Back Suplex! Pin by Porter!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Megumi! Porter pulls Megumi to her feet, clobbering her with Uppercuts until she’s backed into the ropes! Porter looks to send her across the ring with an Irish Whip, but Megumi reverses with one of her own, sending him into the ropes instead! Porter comes back, managing to get control in his corner again as he takes Megumi down with a Slingblade! Megumi staggers back up to her feet, with Porter nailing her with a Dropkick! Megumi once again tries getting to her feet, only to be taken down now by a German Suplex! Pin by Porter!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Megumi again! Porter looks to finish this one off, getting Megumi up and in position for Porter’s House! He goes for the Sit Out Facebuster, only to be caught by surprise as Megumi’s athleticism comes into play and allows her to handstand out of it! Porter is sat down right in front of an upside down Megumi, almost appalled at what he sees! Megumi pumps herself back to her feet, immediately leathering Porter with a Kick to the head! Porter is laid out, leaving an opening for Megumi to nail him with a Standing Moonsault! Pin by Megumi!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Porter! It’s now Megumi who looks to end this, taking to the second rope as Porter tries to get up in order to hit the Phantom Strike! But Porter reverses, sending Megumi tumbling overhead to the mat! Porter looks to take advantage, taking to the top rope and looking for Paradise Lost! But Megumi rolls out of the way, leaving Porter to land awkwardly on the mat! Porter stumbles around for a moment, favoring his ankle! He turns around, right into the Ethereal Blade! Claymore Kick connects! Pin by Megumi!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Kick out by Porter! Megumi is close to the finish line now, stalking Porter as he lies on the mat! He’s almost up, with Megumi seemingly looking for the Starstorm! But before she can get a hold of him, someone comes up from behind and takes Megumi to the mat! It’s Mai Blackman! The referee immediately calls for the bell as this match is thrown out!
Eddie Red Apples: What the hell?! I thought Mai Blackman was supposed to be suspended!
Amber Westgate: Guess that didn’t last long!
Porter rolls out of the ring, the attack from Blackman forcing Megumi to collide with him and send him back to the mat. Meanwhile, inside the ring the referee begins to get belligerent, not only from her interference in this match, but for doing so while suspended to boot! Blackman simply piefaces them, forcing them to the mat and leaving them unable to do anything as she mounts Megumi and unleashes with a set of heavy strikes!
Megumi is left on the mat, trying to get up as she’s dazed and confused! She isn’t given time to shake off either before Blackman is right back on her, getting her into a Rear Naked Choke! The point of this attack becomes very clear as Blackman shouts towards the camera!
Mai Blackman: Come save your friend, champ! Come save her! You won’t, cause you're a soft ass bitch!
Help finally arrives for Megumi, as Katrina Lopez comes out onto the stage with staff flanking her! However this time, they’re not referees…they’re arena security!
Eddie Red Apples: Finally someone’s here to restore order!
Amber Westgate: You think that’s enough to stop Blackman?!
Megumi is well and fully out of it by the time security is able to pull Blackman off of her! They quickly usher her out of the ring, just ARIA rushes out from backstage, immediately gunning for Blackman! The security retrain her as well, however, keeping her apart from her rival! She eventually pivots her attention back to the ring, rushing in and checking on Megumi as we fade!
WINNER: AYU MEGUMI
RESULT: DISQUALIFICATION
A quick flash of “RECORDED EARLIER TODAY” appears on the screen. After a second that fades away to outside of the Hiroshima Green Arena, the site of tonight’s Fusion event. Looking up at it is a familiar face, that of Zion’s would-be Hero, Nao Saegusa. She gazes up at the building for a few moments before finally turning to face the camera, her trademark grin not quite on her face at the moment as she gives a wave to the camera.
“It’s been a little while, hm!”
She gives a little smile.
“3 weeks since I’ve been in a Zion ring, but that’s okay! On a roster as good as this one is, there will be downtime, and I haven’t wasted mine! When not wrestling for MCW I have spent that time studying great Heroes, trying to improve myself for my next opportunity!”
That meant she had been watching her children’s shows, but her words sounded better.
“And now that opportunity is right around the corner. In one week there’s going to be that gauntlet match, the winner will challenge for the World title at Destiny! Just a week away I have the chance to earn my way to the biggest match of my life! It’s not a chance that I can let slip through my fingers, and so I must be ready. And yet, a time like this is just when a trial must appear, hm?”
She nods, as if that answers everything to herself.
“The trials that a Hero must go through are never ending! No matter if things are going well or poorly, one must ALWAYS be prepared to be tested! And right now, as things are going…as they are going, another trial appears! Not just for me, but for Ayu as well. She’s facing the former World Champion, and I’m facing Alexandra Calaway. A woman who’s been a champion around the world, who’s currently a champion in another place she works, someone who has been fighting for belts here almost constantly since she came to Zion. Someone who has shown a great capacity for violence. A tough fight even on a normal night. And this is hardly a normal night.”
She takes a moment to let all of that that is ahead of her sink in before going on.
“Because! It’s not like this is just a match, no, in just a week there’s the Gauntlet, the winner goes to Destiny! We’ll both be in it, so this match is the last chance for one of us to get that all-important resource: momentum! That thing that can carry one even farther than they can go on their own, propelled by their own previous victories! It’s so so so vital to get some of that, and after tonight one of us will have some and one of us will be coming in on a loss, how damaging that could be! It’s necessary, vital, ESSENTIAL to get the victory tonight, so that means she’ll bring everything she has, and I have to do the same!”
She closes her eyes.
“I am aware that we are currently in different places in the wrestling world. She has strengths I don’t, she has places she is willing to go to that I am not, that if I am not careful I could be hurt.”
A quick flash of a grin.
“BUT~!”
Her eyes open and she points towards the camera.
“As a Hero, I have my own strengths! One of them is that no matter how bad the situation in front of me is, I don’t quit or waver or run away! I stand true and strong, and that won’t be any different tonight! Even against a violent champion like Calaway, I will not flinch! I will fight, to gain this momentum, to use it to achieve my dreams! That is what a Hero would do, you know!”
Her grin grows as that pointing finger instead moves back, to point at herself.
“And never forget: I AM a Hero~! And I will always fight on as one should!”
On that vow and reminder, we fade off.
“It’s been a little while, hm!”
She gives a little smile.

MATCH #2: JACK “THE RIPPER” MORRISON VS JESSICA ANDERSON
Morrison doesn’t look even slightly phased by Anderson as the bell rings for this match to start, sending a bit of chill into the usually confident jobber! Anderson freezes up in her corner, despite Morrison’s insistence that she come out to make the first blow! He grows impatient with her, rushing into the corner and nailing her with a Yakuza Kick! He quickly pivots, dropping her with a Back Suplex right off the move! He pulls Anderson up, dropping her with a Powerbomb! He doesn’t stop there however, dropping her with a second one, then a third!
Anderson, getting flashbacks of receiving this exact same treatment from ARIA the month prior decides to begin crawling out of the ring! She isn’t moving anywhere near as fast as she thinks she is, with Morrison easily able to gain on her and pull her to her feet, throwing her into the corner before dropping her with Straight To Hell (Towers of London)! He waits in the corner for Anderson to get up, before running up and nailing her with Dear Boss (Hidden Blade)! Pin by Morrison, securing the victory!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Jack! “The Ripper”! Morrison!
Eddie Red Apples: Huge debut win by The Ripper tonight!
Amber Westgate: A truly violent display! Definitely fitting given the nickname!
WINNER: JACK “THE RIPPER” MORRISON
RESULT: PINFALL (DEAR BOSS)
The cameras move to the backstage area immediately following the match as the competitors leave ringside, going their separate ways. The curtain to the interview area flies open and Jack Morrison steps through with Shiro right on his heels. The newcomer to Zion is barely out of breath or breaking a sweat after a fairly one torture session. Shiro’s clapping and “whoo”ing loudly.
SHIRO: ”HAHAAA!!! WHOO!!! ATTA BOY!!! That’s how you fucking do it!!”
Jack Morrison: ”Haha, you liked that, did you? Did I keep my word or didn’t I, mate?!”
SHIRO: ”Fucking A, you did!”
Jack high fives Shiro. A loud, hearty SLAP of their hands, ringing through the room. A staff member comes to offer a chair for Jack to sit in but he dismissively waves them off.
Jack Morrison: ”Piss off, cunt. You act like I wrestled a war.”
At that, he turns directly to acknowledge the camera with Shiro coming to stand behind him with that devious, shit eating grin on his face.
Jack Morrison: ”I told you, didn’t I? Didn’t I tell you, Jessica? I told you what was gonna happen tonight. I gave you forewarning – I gave ALL of you a fair forewarning! All of Zion. You knew The Ripper was coming to the Promised Land and that—”
He points out towards the ring, addressing Zion Management now about his opponent.
Jack Morrison: ”--is what you throw at me? Unacceptable, Zion. Un-Fucking-Acceptable! As a veteran, as a prodigy, as a competitor who’s made his name known in this industry in the very land we stand in, I deserve better. These people deserve better. Hey, you’ve got Jack Morrison on the card. Hiroshima paid good money to see me do what I do, to see me break someone apart, to see me rip and tear and you tossed me this fucking muppet from developmental who can’t take the heat! No. No no no.”
He shakes his head, wagging his finger, about to say something before he turns back to his manager.
Jack Morrison: ”Shiro! Get me a–”
Before he can finish, Shiro’s hand shoots up casually with a bottle of water in his hand.
Jack Morrison: ”Oh, you’re on it. Cheers, mate.”
Jack takes the water, cracks the top open and drinks from it with a pause.
Jack Morrison: ”I get thirsty when I have to repeat the facts over and over. Something I’ve found myself doing too often, lately, in fact. See, I was hoping tonight would be a chance for me to let loose. To dig in. To really fucking get in there and blow off some steam I’ve built up over recent weeks after dealing with a couple of twats on bloody Twitter. Speaking of which, hi! Hello! This is where you’ll find me!”
Jack smiles, condescendingly at best, waves and flips the camera off before pouring some water into his hand and running it down his face. He drinks some more, caps the bottle off and discards it over his shoulder. Shiro, impressively and comedically reaches up and catches it in his hand and brings it right back down as Jack continues.
Jack Morrison: ”I’ve had to put two fucking idiots in their place. Two! Before I even made my Zion debut. Because both of you fucks, you know who you are, I don’t need to say your names, Silas and Phoenix. You know who you are.”
Behind him, Shiro breaks into a snicker. Jack grins and just half shrugs.
Jack Morrison: ”People on a bloody social media app wanna run off at the mouth and when they put their foot in their mouths, they wanna spin the narrative or they wanna try and get me canceled. People always wanna deny or hide from the truth. Or they wanna be sore fucking losers. I’ve been preparing for my Zion debut for a month and in that month I’ve had to silence not one but two internet tough guys. It’s like–”
There’s the sound of a woman cheering which gets Jack’s attention and as he turns, Alexandra Calaway swoops into frame and throws her arms around him in a congratulatory embrace. Jack squeezes her and relaxes with an arm around her as he continues.
Jack Morrison: ”It’s like I’m the King of the fucking internet at this point. Not a moniker I ever sought out but ya know what? If the shoe fits, I’ll certainly put it on so how about this? Zion, you’ve got an Internet Championship, yeah? Consider it on notice. Let’s be real, even the ravenous like a little gold to go with the blood. I’ll start off there. Shit, we wanna talk about these people deserving to get their money’s worth? We wanna talk about the better competition that I deserve?”
He pauses, motioning to Alexandra on his arm, then to the camera, back to her, then back to the camera.
Jack Morrison: ”Current Internet Champion. Alexis Lemon. One of the Queens of Chaos. That alone says that SHE deserves a better caliber of competition in this company so fuck it. I’ll bloody well give it to her. She’s making waves like I did when I was her age. A champion deserves more than scraps, so why not bloody well give it to her?”
”Oh, but Jack, you gotta earn it! You can’t just walk in and— Too right, mate. Line up the people in front of me and I’ll Rip and Tear through every single one of them until I get what I’m aiming for. Rip. And. Tear. One. By One.”
Alexandra throws the Queens of Chaos’ Too Sweet gesture at the camera. Her and Jack exchange it before he lead the way off with her under his arm. Shiro steps up and shoves the camera out of his way as the three walk off towards the locker rooms.
Tonight as the cameras find the brand spanking new Viral Champion herself, Gianna Rojas she is wearing a branded tracksuit and some Nikes on her feet with the swoosh matching the colors of the suit, looking very comfortable and yet professional. She's carrying her Viral Championship with her, lest anyone forget that the match she's on commentary for will provide her with her first challenge and challenger for her to face at Destiny II. She smiles widely, gesturing the camera over for a quick moment.
Gianna Rojas: Tonight is wild, Si?¡Imagina cómo es esto para mí, si quieres!
Her smile grows warmer as she speaks, the hand not holding her championship securely over her shoulder gesturing to add to her words as she speaks in that excited, happy way of hers.
Gianna Rojas: Tajnia Mustafi versus Elijah Copeland, and the winner? They get to face me! ¡No solo yo, sino con mi campeonato en juego!
She pumps her fist in the air, then grins a little sheepishly at her enthusiasm.
Gianna Rojas: Sin embargo, no se preocupe, ¡seré justo mientras esté en el equipo de comentaristas!
Now she points forward, towards the hallway leading to the gorilla position, even though she's got plenty of time.
Gianna Rojas: Better hurry, I don't want to be late, jajaja!

RESULT: DOUBLE COUNT OUT
Kaya and Lilith are watching from above in a Skybox as the cameraman approaches. Kaya hears the door open and turns quickly bumping her sister as she has some food. Kaya then goes over putting her arm around him.
Kaya Parker: You know normally we're not in this trash bag of a show but Lily and I both agreed that we needed to come see our new friends in action. See Kara, Miguel we've come to your home, now what are you going to do about it. Maybe you two need to come to mayhem and see how a real team acts. Not just flapping the lips about how we ruined your moment after you won the tag titles. I think we made that moment better by coming out…
Lilith gets up and looks over at her sister then nods in agreement with most of what she says then she puts her food down. She laughed a bit then went to the other side of the cameraman.
Lilith Parker: See we come to the show, and still nothing that is haunting us. Guess talk is cheap from the second best tag team in the game. Kaya did make a good point, last week we did you two a favor. See the people looked bored, and we did steal that moment from you, but honey it was all to make it better. You two might be bigger and scarier to look at but it's not about the size of the dog in the fight. Next time we see you two I hope you come on your own. See we're right here waiting.
Kaya then steps around the cameraman pulling out two blue roses from behind her. The cameraman looks as she passes them to him.
Kaya Parker: see you can give those to Kara and Miguel. The reminder that sacred things come to those who want to remember. You will remember our name as we remember yours. Killer instinct, more like calm indifference. You can see yourself out now.
The cameraman takes the roses with him, as kaya follows him. Haven arrived pushing Kaya back into the room as the door closed.
"Still" by Geto Boys would play over the speakers, as we see Daria making her way to the ring, without the usual pomp and circumstance. She would aggressively speak out to the crowd, as they booed her from her attacking Robert Kaiden Oakley after their tag outing.
Daria Dorsey
"Oh, you don't like me, now?! After all the work I did, bringing legitimacy to the title! All the work I did, carrying this company on my back, and the moment I had a streak of bad luck, you all were turning your back on me. You're all fake as fuck!"
She said, over the crowd's attitude, as she marched to the ring, and slides under the bottom rope while continuing to speak out.
Daria Dorsey
"You only rooted for me when I was on top. When I won, you won… you grafted onto my success, because you marks are failures in life, and wanted someone to cling to like leeches. I worked my ass off, and you all shoveled shit in my face in return, the moment I lost the title. So, I'm sick of fighting for the fans out there… only person I'm fighting for now is me. My wins are mine and mine alone, and this dickhead is about to learn why people used to quake in fear the moment that hook began to play…"
Daria said, glaring at her opponent, as she readied to fight.
MATCH #5: DARIA DORSEY VS JAY BRONI
Dorsey makes quick work of Jay Broni, immediately clocking him with a Clothesline off the bell! She immediately gets right back on him, grabbing him by the hair before taking him to the mat with a Forearm across the head! She pulls him up again, however in a disgusting display, she pulls Jay up by the mouth before clocking him with another Forearm! The referee reprimands her for her actions, with Dorsey ignoring him and going right back in on him! She puts an end to this match as she turns him over and locks in Daria’s Inferno (Edgecator)! Jay Broni is left with no choice but to tap out!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match…Daria! Dorsey!
Eddie Red Apples: An emphatic win comes to Daria Dorsey tonight, thanks in part to her new attitude!
Amber Westgate: Daria Dorsey has become ruthless ever since her attack on Daria Dorsey!
Dorsey stands over Jay Broni as her hand is raised! But just then, Robert Kaiden Oakley arrives, tackling Dorsey to the mat before quickly digging in with strikes! He gets off of Dorsey, taking off his shirt and getting pumped up before the crowd! Dorsey rises to her feet in daze, with Oakley looking for the RKOakley! But Dorsey gets out of it, before immediately scurrying out of the ring!
Eddie Red Apples: Looks like Oakley is standing his ground! I’ve never seen him so pissed off before!
Amber Westgate: Betrayal brings out different things from people! I don’t think Dorsey anticipated a blowback like this!
Oakley yells at Dorsey from inside the ring as we fade!
WINNER: DARIA DORSEY
RESULT: PINFALL (DARIAS INFERNO)
The camera cuts to the backstage area, where we see Hayumi Yamamoto, flanked by her stablemates; Lién Kamiya and Akira Fujimoto, the reigning and defending Trios champions. Lién looks almost disinterested, checking her nails. Hayumi stares into the camera with a serious expression while Akira has her head tilted to the side, eyes wide open in a wild stare.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"You both did so well. Not only did you humble Oakley, you had broken the mind of Daria Dorsey. My sisters-in-arms have proven that Hebi no Rengo are meant to be feared and respected! Nobody will take the trios titles from us, for we are a force that is far more formidable than what can be imagined."
She stated with a mocking laugh towards her upcoming opponents.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"We are defending our title against Legion and her Hive, and the three of us are looking forward to crippling her and those Wolves, for good."
Lien Kamiya
"After Bad Intentions, our confidence is rightfully at an all-time high. Current and former champions fall at our feet, even kings and queens of the jungle are no match for our venom."
Kamikaze
"Hive, Hive, Hive… what makes them think they're different? They've felt our wrath before and they come back for more? Ahaha… More guts than brains, more guts than brains!"
Hayumi would smirk a bit at Akira's comment, as she added on.
Hayumi Yamamoto
"They are like insects, but, sadly they're like cockroaches. It doesn't matter how many times you stamp them out, they never seem to die out. We're tired of seeing you all again and again, and I believe it's time for a proper extermination of these pests."
Lien Kamiya
"A hive of roaches… gross."
Lién has a look of disgust on her face.
Kamikaze
"Cockroaches, bees, weird tentacle monsters from another world. It doesn't matter what they're a hive of, we'll smash them to bits just the same way."
Hayumi Yamamoto
"The Hive will become another victim of Hebi no Rengo, and our era of Violence will never fade away… while they become another note to our reign. Ladies, let's finish this."
She said, as the cameras would start to fade away, as they walk off the screen to head into battle.
Legion and the Wolves are out to sea on a ship as the cameraman joins them on her deck. Legion sat on her throne as she watched her row-men go through the storm. She cackled a bit as she looked up at Kassandra then over at Danae.
"the Queenslayer" Legion: Tonight we will finally take the trios championships. The girls have had a good run but it's time we take and we give the pain. Porter if you want to send your little friend out we will be waiting.
Legion then looked to Kassandra as she sat back letting the water run over her.
"the blue eyed wolf" Kassandra: the void my friends, don't worry we haven't forgotten about you. But Hebi No Rengo is our mission now. Tonight is all about appeasing the hive. Tonight is all about taking something we were made for. We may be tag team Champions elsewhere but tonight we take something that should have been with the hive day 1.
Kass then looks over at Danae smiling a bit as they fist bump. Legion looks on seeing the plains in the distance.
"the Silver eyed wolf" Danae: Let's just say, tonight Hebi. The coins will flow and the ferryman gets his dues. Then when all is said and done the house always takes their toll and that toll is the titles.
Legion nodded, applauding both her girls as she then looked at the camera pointing out to the battlefield.
"the Queenslayer" Legion: tonight, we will fight as if Valhalla calls.
Legion then summons the door as she kicks him through it. She steps through and closes the door. The three walk past him as she laughs looking at him.

Eddie Red Apples: The challengers are making their way to the ring, but…where’s Legion?!
Amber Westgate: Something’s gotta be up! This doesn’t seem right!
Amber’s suspicions would be confirmed, as the titantron begins to light up after Danae and Kassandra have entered the ring! On it, we see Zachary Porter, Kara Carbajal, and Miguel Ortiz laying into The Queen backstage! They throw her into walls and equipment boxes, before finishing her off with a Triple Powerbomb through a nearby table! Officials get The Void away, with medics coming to check on Legion!

Yamamoto now rushes towards Danae, catching an Uppercut to the jaw for her trouble! Yamamoto staggers around, leaving an opening for Danae to go for her corner to make the tag!

But Danae and Kassandra rush back in, nailing them each with a Big Boot! The two teams fight to the outside, with the referee attempting to restore order between the two sides! This leaves an opportunity for Yamamoto, who grabs her signature Bokken from her corner! She approaches Legion, ready to strike! But just then, Legion cocks her head back, seemingly looking for the mist! Yamamoto hesitates, knowing better than to get misted after last time!

Legion, Danae, and Kassandra all embrace in the center of the ring as the Trios Championship belts are handed to them! They all rise to their feet, holding their newly-won titles in the air, with pyro going off over them as we fade to black!
