[TKOW Board]

The scene fades to an area outside of the arena. It?s along the beach. A single man is shown in khaki shorts and a white t-shirt standing on the beach. He looks around with a serious look on his face. The cameras move in closer and the man is revealed to be Pender. He starts walking up the beach until he stops and talks to a local.

Pender: Excuse me, have you seen a young woman around here that looks like this?

Pender shows the man the picture of Aello. The man nods his head and points down the beach. Pender thanks him and then peers off in the distance to see Aello.

Aello waves goodbye to a few people and heads right toward Pender on her way to the Neal Blaisdell Center, still wearing a lei and hula skirt over her clothing. She doesn?t recognize Pender as she approaches him. She sighs contentedly beneath her sunglasses as she nears him, a smile on her face.

Pender stops in front of her, not allowing her to pass. He stares her down as she tries to get past him.

Pender: Not today, Aello. Not after what you did to me at Holiday Hell. Look what you did to my face!

She looks up at him with a surprised expression that quickly becomes guarded.

Aello: Pender? Huh? That little faint mark above your eye?

He points right at the mark and speaks with a harsh tone in his voice.

Pender: Yes this faint mark. Because of this you've tarnished my good looks forever! Now you're going have to pay for this.

Aello: I would think your insurance would cover that. Did you think you could wrestle without getting a few bumps, bruises and scars in the process?

She shakes her head and tries to move past him but he reaches out and grabs her arm, jerking her back. She glares up at him.

Aello: *quietly yet menacingly* If you know what?s best for you, you?ll release me this instant.

Pender: As much as I don't like you, it?s my duty as a ladies man to do this.

Pender catches her free hand as she draws it back to defend herself, pins it behind her along with her other, and pulls her body tightly into his, lifting her off her feet. He slowly lowers his face towards hers, but she turns hers to the side. He gently kisses her on her cheek.

Pender: I bet you liked that, but here's the kicker. Tonight, I'm going to make you pay for this mark.........

He then lets her go and quickly backs away from her, keeping a smile on his face and looking on at her to keep notice.

She wipes the kiss from her cheek with the back of her hand while glaring at him and side stepping, facing him as she moves around him.

Aello: I?ll say one thing. You better remember what a harpy can do to a man before you act.

Pender smiles and watches as she backs off until she gets a safe distance from him then turns and enters the arena grounds.

Pender: *touching his scar* We?ll see how sharp those claws of yours are, little birdy, we?ll just see?

The most familiar opening chord's ever, Welcome To the Jungle, start up to signal the new beginning of TKOW's...



The logo fades and and we're launched directly into a montage of TKOW 2005 spots, focusing on wrestlers currently in the federation. Phoenix, Soulfly, Kid Styles, Salazar, Matt Griffen, Ghalleon, Duke McFilthy, Crim, Cody, Aello, Saphron, Carpenter, Bob Lancelot, Pender, Lady Hawke, Blood Child, and Jeff Jefferson. Shots of them all fly by, both spot shots as well as promo shots.

{Axel Rose}
Welcome to the Jungle, we got fun-n-games
We got everything you want, honey we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money honey we got your disease
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle watch it bring you to your shuna-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na knees, knees
I, I wanna watch you bleed
Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl that's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights but you won't get them for free
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle feel my, my, my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream

The camera pans around the inside of the Neal Blaisdell Center, showing a sold out crowd at a fever pitch. Fireworks explode off the stage, highlighting the new five-piece KhaosTron.

Tito: Good evening everyone and welcome to the first Mass Khaos of the new year! It's 2006, and we're nearing the fourth anniversary of TKOW being in the business! Joining me is my broadcast partner, Johnny Styles. Johnny, with Holiday Hell three months behind us, a long waiting period for this first show, and a low numbers roster, how do you see TKOW farinf for 2006?

Johnny: TKOW will fold and fold hard. Johnny Styles is not the TKOW Champion. Johnny Styles is just announcing matches, and is by far the most popular, most athletic, most talented, and certainly the most handsome person in TKOW right now. And that won't change anytime soon. So without me in that ring, TKOW is done for. Cue up the WWR out of business notice ladies and gentleman!

NOW- IS THE TIME- FOR ME TO RISE- TO MY FEEEEET-
WIPE YOUR SPIT- FROM MY FACE- WIPE THESE TEARS- FROM MY EYYYEEESSSSS

The "8" logo bounces around the KhaosTron, jumping around the HPWA logo as T.H. Power emerges from the backstage area to "I Will Be Heard".

Tito: Well let me tell you, I have faith in the new boss. T.H. Power knows what he's doing, and I think this year is going to be one of the strongest yet.

Johnny: Do you need, like, a snorkel to go that far up Power's a-

Tito: I think we're going to open with T.H. Power crowing his friend as TKOW's new Champion.

Power 'Razor Ramon' struts down the ramp, his metal briefcase in hand, a smirk across his face. In pure Bret Hart style he takes off his sunglasses and puts them on a kid at ringside before climbing the steps and stepping through the ropes.

The ring is decked out with a red carpet bearing the phoenix logo. Power places the case on a stand and pulls a mic out of his inner jacket pocket.

The arena lights drop to a dark orange. A flash shot of Phoenix delivering the Death Pyre to Soulfly at Holiday Hell.

*GONG!* Fog rolls out and a circle of fire lights on the stage. A flash shot of Phoenix crushing Cobryn with a steel chair.

*GONG!* A deep voice booms out "Time to Rise!" as the tron lights up with fiery lettering spelling out "Rise Like the Phoenix", and a flash shot of Phoenix's bloody bruised and battered entrance at the final match of the Memorial Cup plays on the KhaosTron.

*GONG!* The stage and turnbuckles explode with flame pyro as 'Phoenix' by Stratovarious blares out, and fast motion clips play of Phoenix delivering the Phoenix Driver to a bevy of opponents, including D-Matic, Matt Griffen, Soutter, Adam Haven, Johnny Styles, Syberus, Clench, Dustin Hughes, Dan Stein, Dave Rave, Mars, David Sadler, Soulfly, Dusty Dynamite, and Jace Mingla.

Phoenix rises through the circle of flames, down on one knee, head on his fist, wearing his sleeveless black trench closed and his Rosary. He stands up as the crowd roars and begins making his way down towards the ring as the haze dissipates, arms outstreched, playing up the crowd with a smug attitude.

T.H. Power: Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, the TKOW Fiery Champion, PHOEEEEEEEENIIIIXX!

He slides into the ring, hops up and hits the turnbuckle to the second rope, pounding his chest and thrusting his arms back out to the sides, then he points straight up with a middle finger salute as the corner behind him explodes in fire. Phoenix hits all four corners, then stands next to T.H..

T.H. Power: Welcome Phoenix to this ceremony in your honor. I'd call it Phoenix Appreciation Night, but you still aren't that special yet. *The crowd boos at that comment.* I keed, I keed. You're a great champion, for me to poop on! *The crowd starts a BORRRRING chant as Phoenix just hides his face. Well, more than is already hidden with the mask.* Tough crowd. Ok, then, the title. *The crowd cheers.* After this video package!

A Phoenix laden package begins to roll. Phoenix is shown broadcasting from the Pit, bursting on the scene in the WWR destroying Jacko, then his historic match with Hitman. It shows him in UCW winning UK gold his second match from 'Rage' Dave Sadler, then another promo where he pisses on the fiery ruin of the WWR building.

From there we see a menagerie of clips of Phoenix battling opponents, including him catching an opponent in midair for a Phoenix Driver, then his first appearance in Ring Syndicate, pinning Soutter.

Highlights of the tournament follow, with his wins over Fierce and Haven, then a quick trip to his other win over Haven to capture UCW IC gold. Clips from RS Genesis are shown, including the chokehold in the Bishop's Cross, the missed Fire Flight, and the final Rings.

The highlight package skips ahead to and through his TKOW career, showing each of his 14 wins, paying special attention to the 2004 King of the Jungle Match, the two Ultimate Chaos title matches, the Blood Money Hitman Ladder match, and finally, the Bronx Beatdown Hidden Treasure match.

As the feed comes back, we hear a loud cheer and Phoenix is re-closing his coat as Power turns around.

Tito: Did you see that?

Johnny: What?

T.H. Power: So, thank you for all you've done, Phoenix. And let me get you your belt.

Power turns to unlock the briefcase and Phoenix again opens his coat, and this time when the crowd pops, the camera shows why.

Tito: You can't be missing it this time! Phoenix is wearing the TKOW Title!

Indeed, Phoenix is wearing the new belt, and turns slowly showing it off. Power now pops open the case and sees it's empty! He spins as Phoenix recloses the coat.

T.H. Power: Shit! The belt! What the hell! The belt, it's, uh, I... don't...

He turns back to the case and Phoenix pulls the belt off and smiles wide raising it high in the air. As Power turns again, he quickly hides it behind his back.

T.H. Power: I just... uh... wait, what was that?

Phoenix shrugs it off, acting innocent. Power turns again, and Phoenix again raises the belt, but this time Power sees it and turns again, catching him in the act. Phoenix breaks out in laughter as Power starts yelling at him.

Tito: The champ got one over on the boss! Stole that belt right out from under him!

T.H. Power: Ladies and gentlemen, once again, your TKOW Fiery Champion, PHOENIX!!

Phoenix poses with the belt on each corner as the crowd cheers for him. He motions for the mic and steps to the center of the ring. On the KhaosTron, he's displayed on the main screen. Tito and Johnny are in teh lower left screen, Power in the lower right, and still shots of Kid Styles and Ghalleon adorn the upeer two screens.

Phoenix: I was going to use the Custom naming option to call this the UCW title, but then I realized if I did that, Adrian Tanner would have to direct me to the landfill the UCW TV title wound up in, and honestly, the TKOW title's been through enough.

Tito: That's the truth alright.

Phoenix: But I have to address a couple of people. Kid Styles and Ghalleon. Two men that performed brilliantly at Holiday Hell in the Prince of Hell match. Two men that both want something I now have. This.

He holds up the new belt to the cheers of the audience. A faint booing is heard.

Tito: Who let David Sadler and Lee Williams in here?

Johnny: What?!? New Axis is here? Where?

Johnny holds up a sign: *New Axis! GCW called, they want their jobbers back!*

Tito: I don't think they'd actually be here. It costs money to attend a TKOW event.

Johnny: You think I could scalp these tickets for UCW's Warfare 21? They're having a contract signing!

Tito: I think the caterer would take em for a chili dog.

Johnny: I'll be making out like a bandit!

Phoenix: Kid Styles, you're a pal and an overly excited little scamp. I'm going to really hate it if I have to mash you into the mat like most of my other opponents. You aren't David Rave. You aren't Jace Mingla. You aren't Soulfly. You're a little boy playing in a big man's world. It's not overconfidence, or underestimation, it just is. I've beaten big, I've beaten small. I've beaten fat men strong men insane men masked men and probably a woman or two.

Johnny: Well aint he something special.

Phoenix: And Ghalleon? I hopped past you at 2004's Rumble In the Jungle. While you were toppling off of cage ceilings I was putting masked Rave into the mat to take home the prize. I've yet to face you one on one Advanced Knight, but I gotta say, your record is almost an embarrasment. Just how many title opportunities have you blown in your time? And now you think anyone should be quick to give you another shot?

Tito: Phoenix brings up a valid point there. Ghalleon so far rather unsuccessful when it comes to gold. I heard he became FTW's Internet Champion though.

Johnny: Yeah I heard Eric Mitchell was the number two wrestler in the world too.

Both men contemplate the statement for a moment. Then they start to laugh.

Tito: Next you're going to tell me Lynn Brewster and pals are amounting to something.

Johnny: How'd you know?!?

Both men just laugh harder.

Phoenix: You know what boys? You two meet me in T.H.'s office later and we'll have ourselves a bit of a chat about this. But for now, it's time to clear out the ring. We've got a show to get into!

Tito: Phoenix airs out about Kid Styles and Ghalleon, and I think that that meeting will be tense. All three competitors looking to prove something.

Johnny: I just want proof that someone still fights in this place.

Johnny notes a vendor walking down the nearest stairs in the crowd.

Johnny: Hey!! Two Warfare tickets for a dog and a beer! No? Ok, three tickets and you give me the bun and a water. No?!? Ok, four tickets and you give me a packet of relish and let me smell the beer. Hey! Come back here!!

The main screen on the KhaosTron shows Soulfly standing in front of a vending machine, chiefing on a blunt, and scratching his chin, as he ponders over the selections.

Fly: I can't believe Power's punkass changed the fucking vending machines back. What the hell am I supposed to drink now? No Miller Lite, no Budweiser Select, no Icehouse, no Heinekin, no Natural Light, no Steel Reserves, no mini bottles of liqour, that son of a bitch ruined this shit for me! Fuck a Gatorade! Fuck a Pepsi! I bet he took the cigaratte vender out too. And he propably took the condoms out of the snack machines, that piece of shit!

Fly angrily puts a dollar bill in the machine, and he notices several figures walk up beside him. He looks up to find several members of The Order to his right, Ghalleon, Salazar, Crim & Saphron.

Fly: You'll have to wait, Power took the beer out the machines so I have to take some fucking time to figure out what the hell I want out of this thing.

Ghalleon: Actually, we wanted to speak with you.

Fly glances at them and looks back at the machine.

Fly: What the fuck do ya'll want?

Ghalleon: I've faced you in the ring before, and therefore I know firsthand that you are one of, if not the, best in the business.

Fly: Tell me something I don't know cumass.

Crim: We've taken notice of how your running mates in the Firm have bailed on you.

Saphron: Who the hell knows why, they're stupid for leaving a legend like yourself.

Ghalleon: The Order is on the rise, we are the future of the wrestling industry.

Salazar: Join us, and help lead us to the top.

Fly chooses the cherry Gatorade.

Ghalleon: With us, we can help you reclaim the TKOW Title from Phoenix, and put you in the record books as the first ever two time TKOW Champion.

Fly picks up his Gatorade and takes a gulp from it. He wipes his beard clean with his left hand.

Fly: You're all fucking stupid, why would I leave a multimillion dollar stable slash company that I took to the top and now have total control over it to join a gang of cocksucking idiots. Fuck you and your offer.

Fly starts to walk off, then stops as he takes the top of the bottle.

Fly: Like we said in The Firm....Ride or Die. So Die bitches.

Fly chunks the bottle at Ghalleon, nailing him in the chest and sending the red Gatorade everywhere, and all over the members of The Order. They all look down in shock at the Gatorade all over them.

Salazar: Oh hell no, let's get his ass!

They all look up, ready to bust ass, but Fly has disappeared.

Crim: Where'd he go?

Ghalleon: Let's go! This way! Now!

They take off past the vending machine and make a sharp turn, and nearly crash into Tobias Burden. The Order members stop in their tracks.

Ghalleon: Have you seen Soulfly?

Tobias: No I haven't. Why do you all look like you've been busted up?

Ghalleon: Nevermind that. But it's good we ran into you.

Tobias: Why is that?

Ghalleon: Since Jace Mingla ran away to SWAT and Dave Havoc hasn't been seen in months, we thought we'd give you the chance to join The Order.

Salazar: And give you the chance to head straight to the top with us as we take over TKOW.

Tobias: I appreciate the offer guys, but I'm wanting to test the waters solo this time around.

Crim: You're missing out on a hell of an oppurtunity here.

Saphron: With us, you could head straight for Phoenix and take his title.

Tobias: Thanks, but no thanks, I want my success to be because of me and me alone this time around, I'll see you around.

Tobias walks off.

Salazar: You better watch your back Burden, Mingla and Havoc can't save you this time.

The four members of The Order watch him walk off.

Ghalleon: Come on, let's find Duke and Pender, we need to do something about this.

Tito: I don't like the looks of that Johnny.

Johnny: The Order just got turned down twice in a row. I can't believe it! Who would want to turn down a shot at toppling Section 8?

Tito: I wouldn't want to be Tobias or Soulfly for the rest of the night.

Johnny: Please. You're talking about former champions! Who does the Order have? If it wasn't for the numbers, thye'd be zilch.

Tito: You could be right. For now though, it's time to kick things off with Tobias Burden returning to Mass Khaos and facing the remaining half of Double J, Jeff Jefferson.

Johnny: Didn't he get fired?

Tito: Hey, he's on the list, so I have to assume he's going to wrestle.

Johnny: God I hope we don't turn into WWE. First the opening forty minutes of the show is all talk, and now Power's rehiring fired wrestlers. The man's just lost his damned mind.

The opening chords of 'Black and White' cue off as Tobias steps on to the stage, there's no playing to the crowd, instead he just starts his way down the ramp avoiding and ignoring any fans reaching over for a high five or attempting to verbally harass him.

Yuri Testkov: Now making his way to the ring, weighing in at 245 lbs, from Los Angeles, California... Tobias ?The Heartless? BUUUUURRRRDEEEEEENNN!!!

He hops up on the apron and turns to face back to the ramp momentarily as though paranoid that someone will be there, then he steps in between the ropes and retreats to his corner, waiting for the starting bell to begin.

?Live for the Moment' by Moster Magnet hits and Jeff Jefferson comes out out and runs down to the ring. He jumps on all four turnbuckles and poses on them.

Yuri Testkov: And his opponent, at 200 lbs, from Toronto, Canada.... He is Simply the Best, he is The Highflying Jeff JEFFERSOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!

Jeff hops off the turnbuckle and walks up to Tobias Burden. He looks Burden in the eyes and then slaps him hard across the face!

Tito: Jeff with a lot of bad attitude there!

Johnny: That?s the attitude I like to see from these guys!

Tobias stares at Jefferson and Jeff slaps him again.

Tito: That?s gotta hurt Burden?s pride!

Jefferson starts to trash talk Burden, who again stares at Jefferson, but this time is met by a great big gozz of spit right in the face!

Tito: Now Jefferson is spitting!

Tobias Burden wipes the spit from his face and then grabs hold of Jefferson, who tries to run away.

Tito: Jefferson is in trouble!

Burden shakes his head at Jeff and then lifts him up onto his shoulders.

Tito: Oh no... Here it comes!

Johnny: You mean, OH YEAH here it comes!

Tobias slams Jefferson down hard with his specialty finisher, The Rubix Cube!

Johnny: Rubix Cube!

Tito: And Jefferson is out of here!

Burden covers Jefferson. The referee begins to count.

One...


Two...


Three!!

Johnny: And it is over!

Tito: Impressive stuff by Burden!

Johnny: Damn straight it is!

Burden celebrates in the ring as Jefferson rolls around in agony and the ref checks on him.

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Back from commercial, the main KhaosTron screen shows the backstage area, in the Section 8 lockerroom, where Kid Styles is doing pushups. Kid hops to his feet. His eyes are very intense, lips curved in a frown, sweat dripping from his forehead. He grabs a towel and wipes his face then drapes the towel over his shoulder.

Kid: Look already commented on Phoenix and Ghalleon but if you want more than so be it.

First off, Phoenix. Look man, I understand you're the champ and all but you need to realise that you're not dealing with just any ordinary small guy, you're dealing with a dude who doesn't care to go the limits to please the fans and win matches, even if some of those risks could seriously injure me.

You're making the one mistake Duke did. You're underestimating me and look what happened to him. Now I'm not saying I'll win, but you can bet your butt that I'm more focused than I have ever been in my entire life.

The TKOW title is what I've dreamed about since arriving to TKOW. It's just unfortunate that you have it, now I'm not to keen on facing another member of my group but if a member of my group has a title I'm competing for, then I'm going for it, I'm sorry that it has to be you.

And Ghalleon, you can whine and moan about getting cheated but the fact is, I won, I got the 30 second bonus and I'm the number 1 contender. If you wanna get involved then fine, get involved, I got no problem facing two opponents, I think I made that pretty clear in my prior promo.

It's simple Ghalleon, don't sing it, bring it!

I'm sorry about my moody attitude right now, I'm just a wee bit ticked off because I went to McDonalds and ordered seven cheese burgers, they only gave me six and charged me for the seventh one, ugh!

Tito: The K.I.D. coming on strong. I can't wait to see this kid in action again.

The lights go out?

{Tupac Shakur}
What do we have here now, Do you want to fight or die?

It?s dark?Haiiil Maary A ra ra ra ra ra

A silver spotlight shines on the entrance below the titantron, the rest of the arena is dark.

*GONG* *GONG*

The entire arena is engulfed in frenzy as chaotic roars resonate through the crowd while the silver lights circle around the stage and out comes Salazar ?The Forsaken? Tyrenus clad in his hooded trench coat, the deep eyes hovering over the great landscape. Smoke engulfs the stage as Salazar raises his arms into the air and more roars are heard, indistinguishable from roars of hate or roars of admiration. Salazar slowly walks down the ramp, not waiting to dwell on any insults from the mosh-pit like crowd around him, ?Hail Mary Instrumental? by Tupac playing in the background.

He comes down towards the ring, looking around ominously through the hood and then jumping up onto the canvas and going inside. He takes a deep breath and looks around the coliseum as the fans continue roaring, the noise deafening out the words of Tito.

Salazar grabs a mic from the stage hand and goes towards the middle of the ring, standing like a statue and observing the arena?slowly taking off his hood as various chants go off from the mixed crowd. Moments pass by as he waits in silence, thoughtful as always?

Salazar: I lost?

The crowd tears up every word and the boos win over the mixed roars. He takes a deep breath, rage building inside but the exterior still calm?

Salazar: You people loved it? Well you probably did?but you don?t know its implications?? SHUT UP!!!

He snaps and looks around, a sneer in his mouth as the boos continue coming in with some obscene chants from a select few in the crowd.

Salazar: I was this close?this close to becoming the No. 1 Contender to the TKOW World Championship. My advisors backstage have been in my ear constantly, oh yeah?they?re saying the exact same things you people want to hear?yes, those bastards think I?ve lost my ?edge?. Some of them want to send me to the Happy Thoughts Psychic ward because they fear my backlash.

He chuckles at the mention of the facility while the fans react at his every word.

Salazar: Oh yes, that brings me to my focus of attention tonight. In fact, when I heard the news I almost forgot I had lost the Prince of Hell Match. The TKOW locker room is buzzing, everyone?s buzzing. The entire industry is buzzing. Robert Hunglestein III of Hardkore fame, has joined TKOW, perhaps he just wanted to see the match. My compatriots in The Order are buzzing?Ghalleon himself has told me of its significance. Not that I had to be told? So tonight, the management has finally recognized my threat and given me the match that I have wanted for months?I?ve waited so long, so long to show that I am truly the most dominant mind in this federation. The TKOW World Champion, the heart-throb of your corrupt and infidel hearts?Phoenix, against the Forsaken One?our second squaring.

?Phoenix? chants are immediately breaking out across the arena, everyone expecting Salazar to be interrupted as he smiles wolfishly, a wicked glare in his eyes, taunting the crowd.

Salazar: He hasn?t arrived yet?

Tremendous boos great the statement?

Salazar: A Ten Minute Exhibition Match?I don?t blame you Phoenix, I don?t blame you for being such a shrewd politician. See, when you try to out do this twisted engine that continues running inside me, you will face desolation. Ten minutes?.ten minutes huh? That is a fucking eternity. Every second of brutality feels like a lifetime, every second of pain is bliss to me?and I mean it unlike the man that creates facades that his fire is intact. Phoenix?you are so blind, surrounded by your yes men and cohorts?blinded by the false glimmer of the TKOW Championship?why oh why did you even accept this match oh great Riser from the Ashes?? Contrary? (huge boos from the crowd) ?as I was saying, contrary to popular belief?you are not as mighty as you seem. FUCK YOU?SHUT UP!!!!!!

The constant harassment is irritating Salazar to no end and the frenzy is reaching a fever pitch as he walks around the ring in spasms.

Salazar: Don?t you people see how this magician is weaving his spells on the world? Don?t you see his plan unfolding before your very eyes?this man is monopolizing the wrestling industry? This man is monopolizing TKOW?this man is going to monopolize my source of survival. I laugh when you people think you can judge me, pass judgment without knowing my intentions. Yes, I have committed inhuman crimes inside this ring? Kid Styles?if you are a blasphemer, you can go to church?and put some money in the donation box and thank your false faith that you made it out with your mind and body functioning in accordance after the Prince of Hell. Some popularity has come to the phrase ?divine intervention? nowadays. Well it?s the only thing saving these two specialists of deception, Phoenix and Kid Styles from total wipeout.

?Fuck you!? and ?Bullshit? chants immediately break out across the arena, the fans refusing to believe Salazar?s prophetic muttering?

Salazar: Its your choice if you heed my prophecy or not. Its that ?choice? that Phoenix is taking away from your very eyes. Imagine?a few months down the line, Section 8 ruling TKOW without an alternative. Personally, I don?t care if you people even want that?I am going to make certain that fate does not side with these basic animals. These same people have taken away mines, Ghalleon?s and all the other wrestlers shots at the TKOW World Heavyweight Championship. People know I?m not about the gold?but if someone has to take control, it will be none other than ME!!! It seems the champion can get away with murder in this company?

Once again the chants continue digging into Salazar?s speech but he no longer seems shaken but is feeding off the immense hate from the crowd.

Salazar: It is at this moment?it as it this moment, when the world is so ignorant, so bleak in their vision of a new era falling under the reign of this false fire named Phoenix?that I, The Forsaken Soldier, make MY STAND. It may just be a ten minute exhibition tonight, you may even use your lackeys to get a pinfall Phoenix?but you know as well as I do?none of these really matter. We are above this shit hole known as TKOW?this is about the fire Phoenix?the fire and ashes. I have been burning in the sins of you and this federation for one long year now. I sat back and watched you win the World Championship?but now its time to change fate Phoenix. Its time to bury you in your own ashes?something no one has done, but they just don?t realize that it?s a natural process of life. TONIGHT... TONIGHT you people will see this weakling for who he truly is, a blasphemous fool trying to grip onto a concept he knows nothing about. There is NO FIRE! There is only the shadow and there is only the abyss?

The fans are roaring in retaliation as Salazar drops the mic and just stands in the ring silently, looking around the ring?a feral glimmer in his eyes but a sly smile just about edging into his expression as he surveys the landscape around him. The entire crowd booing and roaring insults at the Forsaken One.

Tito: Well that was enlightening.

Johnny: Hey that Forsaken One is dark! Dark and pure evil! Phoenix needs to be shaking right now.

Tito: Let's see if our cameras in the back happen to find him shaking somewhere. For now though, we get to see the women of Section 8, Lady Hawke and Aello of the Birds of Prey, take on Crim and Saphron, Outer Force.

Pandemonium, The Castle Frozen In Time? by Nobuo Uematsu starts to play as the Khaostron shows multiple shockwaves expanding out from the center to the outer parts of the Khaostron. Dry ice starts to flow throughout the entrance way as the lights dim down to a dark blue. Red lights light up on the right side of the entrance while Blue lights light up on the left side. Then, Crim and Saphron make their way out from the back wearing long, black trenchcoats.

Yuri Testkov: Making their way to the ring, hailing from Toronto, Canada, at a combined weight of 458 pounds, members of The Order and accompanied to the ring by Pender, introducing Crim and Saphron, otherwise known as? OUTEERRRR FOOOORRRRRRCCCE!!!

They head to the ring, focused, not paying any attention to the crowd's boos.

Johnny Styles: I wanna know how those two girls are going to do any good against 458 pounds of lean, mean, fighting males of Outer Force!

Outer Force enter the ring and climb the turnbuckle as the lights start to come back on. They take off of the trench coats and get ready for their opponents. Pender stations himself at OF?s corner.

Tito Poppi: By using their brains?

Johnny: Those little bird brains and being female, too? The Bird girls are going down!!!!

Tito: You wish they?d go down?

The arena goes dark. On the Khaostron a graphic of a heart monitor beats in sync with the beginning beats of "Otherworld" by Nobuo Uematsu. A few green and gold pyros go off in series on stage in sync with the electric guitar which plays. This repeating sequence lasts for the 14 second intro of the song. As the music kicks up various clips of Matt Griffen, Lady Hawke and Aello fighting opponents (in ring and out) in TKOW/SCW flash in a rapid montage on the Khaostron.

As the smoke from the pyros clears Griffen is on stage. He slowly and determinedly walks toward the ramp. From behind him, Lady Hawke and Aello appear, running toward him.

Yuri Testkov: And nooowww... coming to the ring accompanied by their partner Matt Griffen, the women of Section 8 and two-thirds of the Birds of Prey... LADY HAWKE AND AEEEELLLOOOOO!!!

As they reach him they both grab one of Griffen?s arms and whip him down the ramp to the ring. He stops at the apron, turning 180 to face the women. They thumbs up one another and Lady Hawke runs at him full speed, followed a few seconds later by Aello. Griffen drops to a knee.

As Hawke leaps onto Griffen?s knee as if for a shining wizard but runs on up onto his shoulders instead, he rises. Using his additional momentum she bounds into a flip over the ropes, landing on her feet. Griffen drops back to his knee. Aello immediately follows, almost identically, except she steps from Griffen's knee into his interlocked hands. He stands, tossing her over his head in a slightly different direction. She somersaults over the ropes, landing on her feet a slight distance from Hawke. Griffen then hops up onto the apron and grabs the ropes, flipping himself over into the ring.

Griffen walks over to Yuri and whispers something into his ear. Yuri grins, nods and brings the mic back to his mouth.

Tito: I wonder what Griffen said to Yuri?

Johnny: Whatever it is, I already know I?m not going to like it.

The crowd stirs, wondering what?s up.

Yuri Testkov: Tonight, joining them at ringside will be... the Birds of Prey?s MASCOT!

?NOW- IS THE TIME- FOR ME TO RISE- TO MY FEEEEET-
WIPE YOUR SPIT- FROM MY FACE- WIPE THESE TEARS- FROM MY EYYYEEESSSSS?

The "8" logo bounces around the KhaosTron, jumping around the HPWA logo as Power emerges from the backstage area in an Armani suited (coat and tie) chicken costume to "I Will Be Heard" by Hatebreed. The crowd cracks up.

T.H. Chicken 'Razor Ramon' struts down the ramp, his metal briefcase in ?wing.? In pure Bret Hart style he takes off his oversize sunglasses and puts them over a woman's shoulder at ringside before climbing the steps and stepping through the ropes held open for him by Griffen, who is grinning while LH buries her face in her hands while shaking her head. Aello laughs and gives T.H. Chicken a high-five... er wing.

Johnny: I KNEW IT!! It?s not FAIR with Power and Griffen both out there!

Outer Force stares blankly at the Birds and ?mascot? until Pender calls their attention back to the matter at hand by complaining to the ref.

Meanwhile Power hands his briefcase to Griffen, pointing a wing to an empty seat reserved at ringside. When Griffen protests, Power pecks at him, drawing a laugh from the audience. The women convince their partner to sit in the seat but Hawke eyes Power as he runs and hops around on the apron playing up to the crowd (think San Diego Chicken antics).

Tito: It is fair. Griffen?s not up there and what can Power do in a chicken suit?

Johnny: *folding his arms* I still say he?s up to something.

The ref calls for the bell after taking Hawke?s escrima from the holster on her left thigh and checking the others as well. Aello and Crim start things off. They slowly circle one another. He lunges and takes her down with a DDT. When he turns his back to her to react to the crowd after their boos, she hits him with a drop toe hold into an STF. He fights it and when she can?t keep a good grip on him, Aello releases Crim. As he gets to his feet, she runs and climbs the ropes, nailing him with a somersault DDT. The crowd pops.

As they get up, she hits him in the gut with a double mule kick, knocking him back into his own corner where Saphron tags in.

Johnny: Just like a woman to hit a man when he?s down!

Tito: She?s not cheating.

Johnny: Says you.

Saphron runs in and overpowers Aello, German suplexing her, following it with a full nelson slam. Saphron goes for the pin.

Johnny: *applauding* Now THAT?s the way to dominate a female! Let ?er have it!

One...


Tw-

Aello kicks out.

Saphron pulls her up and whips her into the ropes. On her rebound he attempts a clothesline but she ducks under, runs up the opposite ropes and takes him down with super flying headscissors. As he gets to his feet, Aello roundhouse kicks him and quickly tags out to Lady Hawke, who nails him with a famouser and locks in the Myth-Breaker.

Meanwhile T.H. Chicken has jumped off the apron and wanders around the ring barrier entertaining the crowd.

Pender signals to Crim to break the hold as he runs the apron to draw the ref?s attention. However he gets tripped when T.H. Chicken jumps backward toward to the apron, spinning and ?accidently? sweeping a wing in his path and taking Pender?s legs out from under him. The crowd breaks into laughter. Power offers to help Pender back up but is rebuffed.

The ref catches Crim?s entry and orders him back out.

Johnny: *nearly standing* SEE! I TOLD YOU! That?s what he?s up to. He?s interfering!

Tito: Interfering? No way! Section 8 is all about fair matches. It was an accident! Pender was the one trying to interfere. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

When the ref turns to check on the Power/Pender situation, Crim dives in and kicks Hawke in the head, breaking the hold. He pulls her off Saphron and jumping DDTs her. Aello tries to enter the ring to help her partner but the ref catches her and makes her stay out. Crim rolls out under the ropes and onto the floor just in time as the ref turns back to the in-ring action. Saphron pins Hawke.

One...


Two-

Hawke kicks out.

Saphron slaps the mat in annoyance and pulls LH up.

Pender moves back to OF?s corner while keeping a sharp eye on T.H. Chicken, who continues his entertaining at ringside.

Lady Hawke breaks away from Saphron and hits him with a flurry of kicks, finishing the flurry with a standing drop kick. He responds with a dragon suplex and goes for another pin.

One...


Two?


Thr-

The crowd cheers as Hawke gets a shoulder up.

Saphron complains to the ref about a slow count, giving Hawke time to get to her feet near the ropes. Crim reaches in from the floor and yanks her feet out from under her, dropping her hard to the mat. She delivers him a sharp hard kick to the face and he backs off and returns to his corner, passing Power and shoving him over the railing, drawing ?You suck!? chants from the crowd.

Johnny: That was a deliberate slow count. Saphron should?ve had the pin.

Hawke moves to her corner and tags in Aello who climbs the turnbuckle. As Saphron turns she nails him with Festinate and goes for the pin.

One...


Two...


Thr-

Crim breaks the pin, earning a berating from the ref. Hawke signals Aello, who moves toward their corner. Saphron chases after his opponent. Hawke climbs the ropes, warning Aello with a set of whistles. Aello tags in Hawke and turns to face Saphron and...

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Tito: *jumping out of his seat* Oh my god!!! Talon Version 2!!! The girls hit Talon Version 2!!! And Hawke?s going for the pin!

One...


Two...

Crim breaks the count as a replay on one of the sections of the Khaostron shows Saphron?s charge, Aello using his momentum against him and staggering as she barely manages to push him up into the flapjack?afterwards falling to the mat and rolling under the ropes, and finally Hawke taking him on down with the famouser and following up with the pin attempt.

Tito: I never thought I?d see them do that without Griffen!

Johnny: *sourly* Oh sit down and shut up. They just got lucky.

Saphron staggers to his corner as T.H. Chicken cheers for the girls, getting a couple youngsters sitting up front to join in a chicken dance.

Pender huddles with Crim and Saphron while Aello and LH confer in their own corner. Saphron tags out to Crim, who enters the ring. Hawke moves to the center to meet him.

Pender drops from the apron and makes his way around the side opposite Power. From his seat Griffen alerts the Chicken.

Crim and Hawke lock up. Crim gets the advantage and pulls LH up and powerbombs her, following with a moonsault. He gets to his feet and pulls her up and into a pedigree. He goes for the pin.

One...

Pender has reached the Birds? corner and tries to grab Aello as she goes in to break the pin but is stopped when he gets a pecking from T.H. Chicken. Pender isn?t quite sure what to do at first and backs up. A few in the front crowd start a ?chicken? chant. Pender decides to go after Power who continues pecking.

Two...


Thr-

Aello breaks the pin and is ordered out by the ref, who sees the situation with Pender and Power and warns them off. Crim takes advantage of the distraction and whips LH toward his corner where Saphron hits her with a super swinging neckbreaker and then rushes back out onto the apron. Crim follows up by locking in the Sharpshooter. The ref turns back and drops next to LH to see if she wants to tap out. She shakes her head ?no.? Crim tightens the hold, expecting her to give and gets aggravated when she continues to hold out against him. The ref asks her again and, again, she shakes her head ?no.? Crim finally lets off the hold and tags in Saphron. Crim whips Hawke into the far ropes and as she comes off, Saphron hits her with a handspring elbow.

Meanwhile Pender attempts to go for Aello and receives another pecking from Power, who drives him toward the ramp, drawing laughs from the crowd.

Saphron drops for the pin.

One...


Two...


Three-

No! Hawke manages to get a foot on the ropes at the three count. Hearing the laughter from crowd, Saphron thinks it?s about him and he gets mad, pulling Hawke up and hitting her with the Sapphire Smash, immediately dropping for the pin, but Aello breaks it before the ref can even start the count as they are so close to the Birds? corner. She tries to pull LH away from Saphron.

Johnny: *aggravated* That damned Harpy needs to stay out of the ring until she?s tagged! She just cheated Saphron from the win! C?mon Pender, stop letting T.H. Chicken get the beak on you. Turn him into K.F. Chicken!

Saphron tries to pull Hawke back to the center of the ring by her legs but she kicks and crawls, managing to grab the ropes and pull herself close enough to her partner to tag out. The Winged Maiden immediately climbs the ropes and downs Saphron with Thunderstrike (missile strike) as Hawke shakes out her legs and whistles.

Both women lay on the mat, on either side of Saphron, as he gets to his knees. As he shakes the dizziness, they both hop to their feet long enough to enziguri kick him in the back of the head!

Tito: Double Taser! The Birds just rattled Saphron's brain right there!

Aello goes for the pin.

One...


Two...

Crim comes in and breaks the count, then immediately starts putting the boots to Lady Hawke. The ref shoves him off and warns him as LH gets to her feet, leaning in the corner. Crim gets forced out of the ring and Saphron gets back to his feet, a tad unsteady. He sees LH in the corner and moves at her, but only gets two steps before Aello grabs him from behind and hauls him into a nasty german suplex!

Johnny: She can't do that! Someone tell her she can't do that!!

Aello holds the bridge as Lady Hawke backs up the ropes. Aello, using the bridge, throws her legs over Saphron, straddling him, and stands, then drags him through, hoisting him to a bent over standing position, as Hawke jumps off the second rope and drives Saphron back into the mat with a Dangerous DDT!

Tito: Now I've just seen it all! That's The Mauling! It's all over now!

Lady Hawke shoves Saphron over and Aello falls on him for the pin.

One...

Crim gets in the ring but Hawke baseball slides into his shins, toppling him to the mat.

Two...

He starts to crawl, but she grabs on and won't let go of his legs while catching the bottom rope with her feet.

Three!

Tito: They've done it! Lady Hawke and Aello have beaten Outer Force!

Johnny: They didn't do it when it mattered though. When the Tag Team Titles were up for grabs, they cheated. And now Outer Force is scarred from the pain of knowing they should have been the champs.

Tito: What match were you watching?

The KhaosTron main screen cuts backstage, showing Ghalleon and Salazar walking down a hall.

Ghalleon: That was great!

Salazar: Yea, that was awesome!

Ghalleon: Let's go find the others and tell them.

The Order members walk past trainer Larry Zega. Larry Zega stops walking as he notices something inside an open doorway, he then starts shouting.

Larry Zega: HELP! I Need a Medic!

The cameraman moves so that he can get a shot of the room, and inside it, Soulfly is laying face down in the middle of a table, and due to the room being nearly destroyed we can assume he was attacked! The medic, surprisingly, replies instantly.

Medic: We can only help one person at a time, and we're busy at the moment.

The camera shoots in the direction of the medics voice, as he is one room down. It quickly finds him and his crew, who are checking on Tobias Burden, who happens to be out cold with a dented steel chair lying close by!

Tito: My god! Is The Order behind this?

Johnny: Duh! Of course they're behind it you idiot. Why do I have to work with this moron?

Tito: Mr Power hates you.

Johnny: Tell me something I don't know!

Tito: BLACK isn't as good as the hype.

The KhaosTron main screen switches locations, with shots of Tobias and Soulfly now on the side screens as they recieve medical attention, to T.H. Power's office. Inside are Phoenix and Kid Styles. Ghalleon walks in a moment later.

Ghalleon: Yeah Salazar, I just need to take a meeting. Go ahead, I'll catch up.

T.H. Power: The gangs all here. Go ahead champ, this is your show.

Phoenix: I want this thing squashed, right now. Get it out of the way because we got a lot of work to do rebuilding the "empire" that the FIRM left in ruins.

Ghalleon: I want my title shot. I was the guy to be on that "Hill" longest. I should be the Prince and the contender, not this lucky timing little punk.

Kid: Are you cryin about that AGAIN? Jeeze I thought I was the youngun here. Get over it!

Ghalleon: No way. You couldn't even begin to understand what I can do to you boy. Holiday Hell was nothing. It was just me playing in an enviornment I love. I'll take everything you have and spit you into obscurity.

Kid: You think you can take me? You wanna find out? Tonight! Right here in Hawaii you and me Advanced Britches!

Kid gets right up in Ghalleon's face and Phoenix has to step in and seperate the two.

Phoenix: Hey take it back a few notches. You two are getting a little ahead of yourselves.

Kid: I'll get to you at MegaBowl V Phoenix. But this guy doesn't think I stack up either, and I aim to show him what's what.

Ghalleon: Fine then, if you think you can run with the Advanced Human. But make it interesting. Put your title shot on the line.

Phoenix: You guys can't just start throwing title shots a-

Kid: You want it you got it. And we'll do it at New Era.

The crowd erupts as the camera goes back to ringside.

Tito: Did I just hear that right? Are Kid and Ghalleon going to meet at New Era with Kid's MegaBowl title shot on the line?

Johnny: They aren't going to meet Tito. They're going to crash. And if I'm lucky, I'll be rid of that brat once and for all.

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Coming back from commercial, we are once again in the Section 8 lockerroom. Neither of the women, Lady Hawke or Aello, are visible but Aello?s voice can be faintly heard as well as Skye?s whistles, as if they are in an adjacent room.

Griffen sits on an oversized sofa with his arms crossed over his chest. His feet are crossed at the ankles before him. His strawberry blonde hair is a bit longer than usual and curly. Gone are his familiar green tights and in their stead are a pair of black leather pants with a black leather belt with a gryphon buckle. His gauntlets also have changed to a deep black with golden studs with a small golden gryphon emblem. A ring hangs as a pendant from a thick gold necklace about his throat.

He looks into the camera.

Matt: So Tobias ?The Heartless? Burden has returned to TKOW? after dropping off the face of the Earth after AVR lost to us again. Okay, I?ll give that as another mirror of the interaction of the Birds of Prey and A Violent Reaction, since we took time away after our loss to AVR to allow LH to heal. We returned all together but, Burden, where is your ?family? of AVR? Have they returned with you?

Griffen raises a brow and appears to be looking around at the audience.

Matt: From what I?ve heard, Mingla took off to S.W.A.T. without you. Havoc disappeared, although there are rumors of him training in some gyms back East. Is even your lady friend still with you or are you truly alone?

Griffen uncrosses his ankles and arms, leans forward as he draws his feet back toward the sofa, and rests his elbows on his knees, loosely linking the fingers of his hands together before him. He stares deeply into the camera.

Matt: So who was the reality and who the reflection? Who the true family and the other nothing more than fleeting illusion from a now broken reflecting glass?

Griffen abruptly smiles and leans back into the sofa, draping one arm along its back and recrossing his ankles.

Matt: I?m glad to see you made your way through the shards of Looking Glass... and returned to TKOW. There is unfinished business between us. Let?s enjoy it, shall we?

Tito: Strong words from Bird of Prey Matt Griffen.

Johnny: So what? The Triple Threat match is about to start.

System Of A Down?s B.Y.O.B hits the Arena.

{Clips of The Duke walking down the ramp to the ring.}

Why do they always send the poor~!

The Duke appears on the stage.

{Clips edited in a very face paced way, all these clips show The Duke hitting people in the head with chairs.}

Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels
Victorious victories kneel
For brand new spankin' deals

Marching forward hypocritic and
Hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

The Duke walks towards the ring, down the ramp, ignoring the crowd.

{Clips of The Order at a party with tons of hot women, booze, paparazzi, and famous people.}

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

{Clips of The Duke nailing the 51-50 on everyone he?s hit the move on.}

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM CHICAGO ILLINOIS, STANDING 6 AND A HALF FEET AND WEIGHING 250 POUNDS, THE WINNER OF THE FIRST BLOOD INVITATIONAL, DUKE, MCFILLLLTTHHHYYYYY~!

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

The Duke grabs a sign away from someone in the crowd, and points to it, It reads ?Power Fears The Duke?.

Ever sitting gripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

The Duke walks to the ring-side area.

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

The Duke enters the ring.

Blast off
It's party time
And we all live in a fascist nation

{The Tron shows a message... ?Missing?}

Blast off
It's party time
And where the fuck are you?

{A still picture of Eric Mitchell on the Tron}

Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

Tito: Duke looks ready for this match. He's looking solid. Healed up nicely during the hiatus.

Johnny: You so want him.

Raining Blood hits, the drums pounding lightly in the backdrop of the sound of a thunderstorm for a half minute, and then lightning hits the top of the KhaosTron and the screen "explodes" as the guitars jam, revealing the name "Carpenter" written in dripping blood. The curtain parts as two burly male 'nurses' wheel out an electric chair, with Carpenter firmly strapped down and struggling. They wheel him onto the stage and stop, undo his hand restraints and turn, running backstage.

Yuri Testkov: HIS OPPONENT, FROM RED BANK NEW JERSEY, STANDING 6 FEET 2 INCHES AND WEIGHING 210 POUNDS, CARARRRRRPENTERRRRRR~!

He undoes the chest buckle then frees his feet and gets up, moving towards the ring, eyes glaring as he looks around. As he gets halfway down the ramp he pulls his mask off of his belt, revealing two large brass knucks, and pulls the mask over his bandaged face. He saunters the rest of the way, sliding in slowly, moves to the far corner and sits down on the mat, arms on the ropes.

"Sweet Dreams" plays and Alice emerges from the back. She has a single red rose in her hand. She holds it up to her nose, drawing in the aroma, before making her way to the ring.

Yuri Testkov: AND THEIR OPPONENT, FROM MIAMI FLORIDA, STANDING 5 FEET 9 INCHES AND WEIGHING 165 POUNDS, THE ANGEL OF DEATH, ALICE, ALLUUUUURRRRRRREE~!

She enters and stands in the center of the ring, where she starts shaking her hips as she momentarily dances in a provocative manner, dropping to the mat and slowy moving back up, drawing a massive pop from the crowd. She heads to a corner and sits the rose down on the apron.

Carpenter stands and removes his jacket. The Duke gets right up in Carpenter?s face, and the two stare holes through each other, while Alice stands back and watches.

Tito: Look up Explosive Situation in the dictionary and it?ll have a picture of this.

Johnny: No shit, this is a powder keg and it?s about to blow. Neither one is backing down.

Tito: But neither one is throwing the first blow either.

Alice tries to force herself into this stare down, but Duke grabs her and tosses her to the side. She falls near the ropes.

Johnny: If she was smart, she?d stay out of this.

Alice gets up and tries to force herself back into the stare down, but The Duke grabs her by the back of the neck and throws her out of the ring over the top rope.

Tito: Looks like Duke agrees with you.

Johnny: The Ref needs to ring the bell already.

The Duke pulls out a cigarette and a match. He puts the smoke in his mouth and strikes the match on Carpenter?s mask.

Johnny: Oh Fuck!

Carpenter tilts hi head as The Duke lights his cigarette.

Tito: I think The Duke has a death wish.

Johnny: Totally.

The Duke takes a giant drag and blows the smoke in Carpenter?s face, but Carpenter doesn?t move.

Tito: Kids, smoking is bad for your health.

Johnny: Kids, blowing smoke in Carpenter?s face is bad for your health too.

The Duke has smoked half of his cigarette and offers the rest to Carpenter, who must not smoke because he ignores the offer, and keeps his eyes on The Duke. The Duke give Carpenter the ?Oh Well? look and shoves the lit cigarette into Carpenter?s chest.

Johnny: Holy Fuck!

Carpenter looks down at the burn he now has on his chest and back at The Duke, lightly wiping the area with the back of his hand. The Ref kicks the smoldering butt out of the ring and motions for the bell.

The Bell Rings.

Carpenter starts to throw a punch but pulls it short as The Duke braces for it. Instead of attacking The Duke, Carpenter walks to the near corner and takes a seat.

Tito: What!?!

Johnny: This is silly. The Duke should just beat him down and take the win.

The Duke is looking at Carpenter from across the ring and gives a ?What the Fuck? look.

Tito: I get the feeling Carpenter would rather be somewhere else.

Johnny: He should just leave, then, and let Alice and Duke go for it.

Tito: Yeah, but this match was billed as a triple threat and Carpenter should get up and give these fans what they want.

Johnny: Like Carpenter cares what the fans or anyone else wants.

Alice rolls back into the ring, staying back while The Duke stares at Carpenter. The Duke asks Yuri for the mic. Alice looks at The Duke, but lets The Duke talk without attacking him.

Duke: What the fuck is this?

Johnny: Good question.

Duke: You don?t want to be here? You don?t want to face me or her? You don?t want to do your fucking job? Do you think I want to be here? This match was an insult to me and I?m here anyways. Alice here doesn?t stand a fucking chance and she?s here.

Alice gets up in The Duke?s face and grabs his mic.

Alice: I don?t stand a chance? Who the hell do you think you are?

The Duke Grabs the mic back.

Duke: Listen bitch, lets be honest. The only way you could win this match is if Power changes it to a Anorexic Bitch Fashion Show, you skank slut. Now let the grown-ups talk and I might buy you a sandwich after the match.

Alice looks insulted but backs off.

Duke: Just leave then, get the fuck out, if you?re just going to sit there like a fucking hump.

The Duke walks over to Carp and looks down on him.

Duke: You got anything to say for yourself?

The Duke lowers the mic, but instead of handing it to Carpenter, he taps it on his metal mask.

Duke: Anyone home in there? I guess not, I?ll just pin this bitch and go home, then.

The Duke backs off Carpenter but doesn?t notice that Alice shoots herself off the far ropes. She clips The Duke?s leg, dropping him to one knee.

Tito: That?s smart. Get the big man off his feet.

Alice rushes Carpenter and starts nailing him with a barrage of martial arts style punches and kicks. Carpenter finally grabs Alice?s leg and pulls her in for a short arm clothesline. This sends Alice to the mat.

Johnny: All that kung-fu shit won?t work here, I think.

Tito: She?s using what she?s got and we?ll see how far it gets her.

Johnny: She?s on her back. That?s how far it got her.

Tito: At least Carpenter is doing something.

Carpenter walks over Alice to get to The Duke, who is back on his feet now. Before the two can meet up again Alice gets up and jumps on Carpenter?s back, trying to choke him out with a rear naked choke. Carpenter grabs her head and pulls her over so she lands in front of him and he starts punching her in the temple. The Duke charges Carpenter and knocks him off Alice. The Duke shoves his forearm under Carpenter?s mask, choking him. Alice gets up and walks around dizzily.

Johnny: Alice wants in on this, but she should let the men fight and pick her spots.

Tito: That could be a mistake. They?re giving her time to recover while they go all out, and while she?s fresh, they may end up being too tired to go on.

The Duke releases the choke and turns to look at Alice as Carpenter stays down on the mat. Alice, now clear headed, charges The Duke but he avoids her and she falls to the mat, gets up and charges him again. As she gets to The Duke he lifts a knee to her head and she drops to the mat again. The Duke lets out a laugh that can be heard by the crowd.

Tito: He?s showing her no respect.

Johnny: What do you expect?

Tito: You?re right. The Duke respects no one.

The Duke pulls Alice over by Carpenter, and he starts to stomp on their heads one at a time, over and over. As The Duke goes to stomp on Carpenter for the third time, Carpenter grabs The Duke?s Leg, Alice grabs the ref, and Carpenter delivers a low blow via headbutt, which drops The Duke.

Tito: Oh!

Carpenter and Alice get up, look at each other, and both start stomping on The Duke?s head.

Johnny: Teamwork?

Tito: It?s smart.

Johnny: It?s cheap.

Carpenter lifts The Duke up and motions to Alice to nail The Duke with one of her martial arts moves. Alice runs to the far ropes, jumps up to the top rope and jumps off for what looks like a hurricanrana, but The Duke catches her, throws her off and behind him, as she falls she grabs Carpenter, and nails him with a wicked DDT, which plants Carpenter?s head into the mat.

Tito: Wow!

Johnny: I don?t know what?s more impressive, Duke throwing her off, or Alice saving herself, by sacrificing Carpenter.

The Duke Rolls out of the ring to catch his breath. Alice gets up and starts to drop elbows into Carpenter?s neck. She lifts Carp up and pulls him close, spins him around, and drops him with her new move.

Johnny: When The Smoke Clears~!

Tito: He?s not moving!

Johnny: She needs to go for the cover while Duke is out of the ring.

Alice must?ve heard this because she rolls Carp over and goes for a cover, hooking his near leg.

One...


Two...


Three?


No~!

Carpenter kicks out and jumps to his feet, laughing loudly and taunting Alice. Carp starts kicking Alice in the gut, each kick lifting her off the mat a bit. The Duke rolls back in behind Carpenter and spears Carp?s back, silencing him. This drops Carpenter to his knees and allows Alice to roll away and out of the ring. The Duke backs off and allows Carpenter to get up. Carp gets to his feet but The Duke bulldog?s him back down. Alice climbs the turnbuckles from the apron and takes aim on The Duke. The Duke turns around to be met with a High Martial Arts Kick to his face, which sends him through the ropes and to the floor.

Tito: That was stiff!

Johnny: Stiff as fuck!

Alice gets up as Carpenter reaches his feet. Alice rushes Carp but he goes for a kick to the gut. She catches it and delivers a Dragon Screw into a Sharpshooter.

Tito: Oh shit, he might tap out right here!

Johnny: You really don't know Carpenter...

Alice applies as much pressure to the Sharpshooter as she can, while Carpenter tries to drag himself to the nearest ropes. He just doesn?t seem to be close enough though.

Tito: He?s gonna tap!

The Duke gets up to his feet and shakes out the cobwebs. He sees what?s happening in the ring, runs toward them and reaches in the ring and pulls Carpenter to the rope. The Ref calls for the break and Alice thinks she?s won the match. She starts to celebrate. The Ref tells her it?s not over and she turns around to find that The Duke has pulled Carp out of the ring.

Tito: Remember folks, no count-out or DQ.

The Duke pulls Carpenter to the ring steps and starts bashing his mask into them. The crowd can hear Carpenter laughing.

Tito: Carpenter might need a new mask after this match.

Johnny: And a new face, too!

Carpenter?s mask is being slammed into the step so much that it is, in fact, bending to the shape of the step edge. Small sparks can be seen as well.

Johnny: Carp is sparking!

Tito: This is crazy!

Carpenter blocks the last attempt to have his head hit the steps, and he reverses it. Now The Duke?s head is meeting the steel steps. This rips The Duke?s head open with a quickness and Carpenter's laughter gets even louder.

Johnny: Duke?s busted open!

Tito: No mask to protect him.

Carpenter pulls off the ruined mask and throws it into the crowd.

Tito: Say goodbye to that mask.

Johnny: He?s busted open too~! Somebody get him a new one, quick, He?s an ugly bastard!

Tito: How can you tell with all those bandages on his face?

Alice shoots off the ropes and nails Carpenter with a baseball slide to the face. Alice rolls out of the ring and climbs the steps that The Duke is laying on. She pulls him up and grabs his head and neck.

Tito: No!

Johnny: Do it!

Alice delivers a Jump Swinging DDT to The Duke on the steps.

Johnny: *sitting back and folding his arms* He?s dead!

Alice climbs up the turnbuckles and takes aim on Carpenter.

Johnny: Now what?

Alice jumps off towards Carp with a Corkscrew Moonsault, nailing it.

Crowd: Holy Shit! Holy Shit!

Tito: They over looked her. Now it?s her match to win or lose. She?s in total control!

Alice pulls Carpenter back into the ring, and goes for the cover.

One...


Two...

The Duke grabs Carp?s leg and puts it on the bottom rope.

Three?

Johnny: Foot?s on the rope!

Alice jumps up and begins to celebrate again, but the Ref sees the leg on the rope and tells her it?s not over, again. She turns around to try again but The Duke nails her with a spear.

Tito: The Duke lives!

Johnny: This is the second time he?s saved Carpenter.

Carpenter gets up and tackles Duke, sending him out of the ring. Alice is now out of it and Carpenter pulls her onto her back.

Tito: Cover her!

Johnny: Oh no, this ain?t over yet!

Carpenter walks over to the far ropes, hops on to tope rope, and goes for a Lethal Injection, but he doesn?t see that The Duke is now on the opposite apron. As Carp nails the Lethal Injection on Alice The Duke nails a wicked Shinning Wizard on Carpenter.

Tito: Now The Duke is in full control!

Johnny: As it should be!

The Duke picks up Carpenter and sets him up for the Fifty-One/Fifty. Someone jumps the railing outside the ring and runs into the ring. She climbs on the apron and gets in the ring. The Duke spots her and drops Carpenter. The Duke moves towards her, but stops when he sees who it is.

Tito: It?s Megan McFilthy!

Johnny: What? I thought she was dead!

Tito: So did I.

Carpenter grabs the ref, using the official to pull himself to his feet. Megan offers a hug to The Duke, and The Duke rushes her to give her one, but Megan drops to her knees and delivers a sick double arm low blow that send The Duke to the mat.

Johnny: What the hell is this?

Tito: Everyone is on their backs now except Megan McFilthy!

Megan rolls out of the ring, grabs Yuri?s mic and...

Megan: Now we?re even.

Megan climbs over the rail and back into the crowd.

Tito: Even for what?

Johnny: Don?t try to understand women.

Back on his feet, Carpenter roughly shoves the ref out of his way and stalks Alice. He grabs her by the hair and waistband, gets a running start and HEAVES her through the ropes, flying her into the announce table, where she bounces and tumbles on top of Tito and Johnny!

Carpenter targets The Duke, going in for a Stunner, but jumping over and behind Duke, still holding his head, and into the sitout reverse ddt known as Judgement!

Tito: Can Carpenter take this one after an impressive manuever?

One...


Two...


Three?


No!

Duke gets a shoulder up, staving off execution. Carpenter growls, seeing Alice pull herself off of the table and to the ring, and forces Duke to his feet. As Alice gets in the ring, Carpenter hides behind Duke, keeping him steady by the waistband and a handful of hair!

Carpenter pushes Duke towards Alice, who screams in anger and boots him in the gut, turns him over, and nails Revelations as Carpenter climbs through the ropes. She pins Duke...

One...


Two...

...as Carpenter uses the ropes, springboarding into a Lethal Injection onto Alice onto Duke! Carpenter roughly pushes Alice to the side and pins Duke...

One...


Two...


Three!

The ref calls for the bell and Carpenter rolls out of te ring, grabbing his jacket.

Yuri Testkov: Your winner by pinfall, CAAARRRRPENTERRRRRRR~!

Johnny: Duke's going to be livid when he wakes up. He had that match won!

Tito: It seems that way Johnny, but whether he had it or not, in the end, Carpenter prevailed.

The KhaosTron shows backstage again, specifically, one Tobias Burden, who is now coherent, and has a hand on his head.

Tobias: My head, it hurts so much, I think someone cranked me with a baseball bat. And my back, it feels, it feels like I was hit by a truck.

He stands up, and starts walking around.

Tobias: Oh once I find those sucker punching cowards...

He pauses when he hears a loud, angry voice just down the hall.

Fly: I'm going to kill those motherfuckers when I see them, I swear to fucking god they're dead, all of them!

Tobias walks to the room just down the hall, and finds Fly kicking gatorade bottles around, his shirt is torn, his hair messy, and his face red. Fly looks up at Burden.

Fly: Hey, have you seen those little punkass bitches they call The Order?

Tobias: I didn't see them, but a baseball bat caught the back of my head. Was it them?

Fly: Musta been. Medics said they saw Ghalleon and Salazar laughing and walking away when they found me. They use a bat on you too? What the hell did YOU do to them?

Tobias: I declined their offer to join their sissified group.

Fly: So did I.

Fly pauses and scratches his chin, as the part of his brain that wasn't knocked loose from the attack was working.

Fly: You thinking what I'm thinking?

Tobias: If It involves dealing with The Order, then I am.

Fly: Alright, let's go handle this.

Fly starts walking out of the room, but Tobias holds his arm out and stops him.

Tobias: Hold on a second. I saw what you did to Jace several months ago, and I still haven't forgotten the tag match we had a year ago. Why should I just jump up out of the blue and start working with you?

Fly: Look, your "Pops" had it coming, and it's not my fault he took off to SWAT after what I did to him, but that was between me and him, and has nothing to do with me and you. But between me and you...I know you don't like me, and I don't like you. But that doesn't have a damn thing to do with what happened a few minutes ago. We were both jumped from behind by some motherfuckers and layed out on the fucking ground. Now, normally, I can handle my business, and I'm sure you can handle yours, but let's face it, I don't like the odds when it's 6 on 1, and I'm sure you don't either, but I'm sure that if we put our issues with each other to the side and work together, that we stand a better chance against The Order than we do alone, so let's go handle our business.

Tobias: Alright, but this doesn't change whats going on between us.

Fly and Burden look at each other, each not letting up on their stares.

Fly: I'm cool with that, but until this deal with The Order is over I got your back.

Tobias: Cool, let's go take care of this.

The camera follows them down the corridor. Matt Griffen steps out into the hall from one of the locker rooms, and Tobias stops and glares at the Bird of Prey. Griffen merely grins back.

Tobias: The fuck are you smiling at?

Matt: You, obviously.

Tobias snorts in disdain, we can see his fists clenching at his sides as though he's prepped to attack, Matt eyes the smaller man warrily now...

Matt: Are you still lookin' for trouble? cI thought we buried this a looong tim-

Tobias: Don't play stupid with me Griffen, nothing has EVER been okay with us, ever, under any circumstances. Especially after you won the belts.

Matt: We neat you fair for them.

Tobias: Bullshit, you beat Havoc for them, TWICE, as far as my memory recalls, the Birds of Prey have never, EVER gotten a pinfall on me, and as far as I'm concerned you never will.

Matt's shoulders shake as he holds in a rumbling laugh.

Matt: So basically since we pinned the weaker of the team means that we can't beat you? My you're ignorant today.

Tobias: Ignorant, then why do I recall being a part of the first tag team to hold the TKOW tag titles TWICE.

Matt: Probably because you've tried to forget that the Birds of Prey were the team that retired them.

That leaves both men silent, and we can see Tobias nearly steaming with unchecked anger, but Griffen shakes his head and shoves the smaller man aside as he walks down the hall, leaving Tobias livid.

Matt: Don't do anything stupid now, 'Oh Heartless One'.

Tobias blinks, he glares down the hallway at the larger man's retreating back, then shouts just as Griffen finally leaves our view.

Tobias: The only stupid thing I'm going to do, is when I get back at you the next time we meet!

Hearing nothing but silence as his response, Tobias turns and punches the wall, glaring at the very silent Soulfly.

Fly: What bitch? That shit was your deal. I told you this here doesn't change things.

Tobias frowns and stalks off down the hallway.

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Coming back from commercial, Jessica Spears is standing, waiting for a interview.

Jessica: Hello. I'm just about to... and here he is!

Just then, Ghalleon, accompanied by Hector Orlouge, walks up to Jessica.

Jessica: Ghalleon, what's your thoughts about the Prince of Hell match?

Hector: How dare you address Master Ghalleon that way! Have you no respect for tallent when you see it? You're so lucky that....

Ghalleon motions to Hector to stop. He starts to speak in a low, calculating tone.

Ghalleon: ....The Prince of Hell match was a scam. I was royaly screwed out of whats rightfully mine. You're lucky Sammie isn't here tonight to beat you down you vile creature. Finally, if I want to talk to a walking virus, I'll go talk to Phoenix or Matt Griffen.

He then looks over at Hector and smiles slightly.

Ghalleon: Why don't you go and get ready, man?

Hector: Sure thing, man.

With that, Hector goes walking away from the interview. Ghalleon then turns his attention back to Jessica and starts to speak.

Ghalleon: I, along with The Order, made damn well sure that Tobias and Soulfly paid for their bravery. Yes, why not reward their bravery with a vicious and bloody beatdown? Soulfly should be glad I didn't do to him what I did to Dustin Hughes.

The crowd starts to boo loudly at Ghalleon's comment.

Ghalleon: Oh, and if you're at home watching this Dustin, hello. I hope you're enjoying your free time now, its not like you're going to have rest of your life to enjoy it.

The crowd boos heavily again as Ghalleon smiles slyly. He closes his eyes and tilts his head back slightly.

Ghalleon: You hear that, Jessica? You hear those boos and chants of 'asshole'? I thrive off of these people's anger. It amuses me to see them pay their oh so hard earned money to come and see greatness that is The Order. Too bad they had to give up a week's pay to come here.

The crowd boos loud again and Ghalleon just chuckles at it. He then lowers his head back down and opens his eyes once again.

Ghalleon: Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some thinking to do.

With that, Ghalleon walks off of screen as Jessica starts to speak again.

Jessica: ....And now back to you guys.

Tito Poppi: Thanks, Jessica.

Johnny: Yeah, sure. Anyways, we're about to see Phoenix lose for the first time now. I can't wait to see this.

Poppi: How can you say such a thing? Phoenix is a fighting champion and deserves that belt!

With that....

The lights go out...

[Tupac]
What do we have here now, Do you want to fight or die?

It?s dark?Haiiil Maary A ra ra ra ra ra

A silver spotlight shines on the entrance below the KhaosTron, the rest of the arena is dark.

*GONG* *GONG*

The music starts, equipped with the dark trench coat and arms raised The Forsaken appears on the stage and the arms fall back down. Then he slowly proceeds to walk to the ring as the silver light flickers at times but continues shining. He walks down the ramp and looks around with a wolfish grin and nods slowly and the flicker stops, the arena is bathed in silver lights... then they flicker too.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM PARTS UNKNOWN, STANDING 6 FEET 5 INCHES AND WEIGHING 217 POUNDS, THE FORSAKEN ONE, SALAZAR, TYRENUS~!

Until he raises his right arm and then they stop. He climbs up the steps and gets into the ring before standing on all four turnbuckles and looking down sinisterly at the crowd.

Tito: Can you FEEL the excitement in the air? It's like electric!

The arena lights drop to a dark orange. A flash shot of Phoenix delivering the Death Pyre to Soulfly at Holiday Hell.

*GONG!* Fog rolls out and a circle of fire lights on the stage. A flash shot of Phoenix crushing Cobryn with a steel chair.

*GONG!* A deep voice booms out "Time to Rise!" as the tron lights up with fiery lettering spelling out "Rise Like the Phoenix", and a flash shot of Phoenix's bloddy bruised and battered entrance at the final match of the Memorial Cup plays on the KhaosTron.

*GONG!* The stage and turnbuckles explode with flame pyro as 'Phoenix' by Stratovarious blares out, and fast motion clips play of Phoenix delivering the Phoenix Driver to a bevy of opponents, including D-Matic, Matt Griffen, Soutter, Adam Haven, Johnny Styles, Syberus, Clench, Dustin Hughes, Dan Stein, Dave Rave, Mars, David Sadler, Soulfly, Dusty Dynamite, and Jace Mingla.

Phoenix rises through the circle of flames, down on one knee, head on his fist, wearing his sleeveless black trench and his Rosary. He stands up as the crowd roars and begins making his way down towards the ring as the haze dissipates, arms outstreched, playing up the crowd with a smug attitude.

Yuri Testkov: AND NOW, FROM RED BANK NEW JERSEY, STANDING 6 FEET 6 INCHES AND WEIGHING 265 POUNDS, YOUR TKOW FIERY CHAMPION, PHOEEEEEEEEEENIIIIXXXAH~!

He slides into the ring, hops up and hits the turnbuckle to the second rope, pounding his chest and thrusting his arms back out to the sides, then he oints straight up with a middle finger salute as the corner behind him explodes in fire. Phoenix hits all four corners, then pulls off the coat, dropping it in the last corner, and hangs the Rosary over the ringpost.

The two stare each other down from across the ring, as the ref takes the Fiery Championship out of the ring. The ref then turns around and is about to call for the bell, when 'Dark World' by Nobuo Uematsu starts to play as Hector Orlouge makes his way to the ring. He keeps his eyes locked on Phoenix as he makes his way around to the anouncers table.

Poppi: What are you doing out here?

Hector: I'm just doing my job, something you should try doing for once.

Johnny: I don't agree with your leader, well I didn't before. But anyone that don't like that brat that claims to be my son, well he's getting points in my book.

Back in the ring, the bell has rung and the time clock on the titontron has started to count down from 10:00.

Phoenix and Salazar start to lock up in the middle of the ring. Salazar gets the upper hand, but Phoenix counters it back. He then whips Salazar into the ropes. Salazar bounces back and is caught with a sideslam from Phoenix. But he doesn't go for a pinfall, instead, Phoenix pulls Salazar back up to his feet only to be met with lefts and rights in the ribs from Salazar. Salazar then shoves Phoenix away and nails a dropkick to his chest.

Hector: See that? Thats why he's a member of The Order. We don't take second rate people in, like Section Eight does.

Poppi: How can you say such a thing?

Hector: Easy, just open my mouth and speak.

Back in the ring, Salazar goes for a side headlock on Phoenix. He locks it in and tries to get the Champion to submit. The crowd starts to get behind Phoenix as he gets back to his feet. As he does, he elbows Salazar in the stomach multiple times. But Salazar starts to fire back after letting go with a furry of back hand chops. Phoenix grabs Salazar's head and leads him into the nearby corner and proceeds to stomp away at Salazar's stomach until he falls to the mat. Then he stomps away at him with mudhole stomps. He then comes out of the corner to a loud chear from the crowd.

Hector: What's this? Is this how our champion is supposed to act? Come on Salazar, get up!

The clock then ticks down to about 7:20 as Phoenix goes back in for more attacks. He pulls Salazar up to his feet, but Salazar starts to lay into Phoenix with kicks to the shins and then to the stomach. He gets Phoenix bent over slightly as he moves out of the way to ram his shoulder into the steel post. He then follows up with a quick roll up.

One...


Two...

Phoenix kicks out in enough time. Salazar then pulls him back up to a vertical base, but only to lay into him with knee shots to the chest. Salazar then goes off of the ropes for a clothesline, but Phoenix doesn't budge. He stands there as Salazar goes for another one, again the same thing happens. Salazar goes for a third one, but this time Phoenix grabs him by the throat. The crowd chears as he goes for a chokeslam, but Salazar kicks him in the knee and goes for the fourth clothesline. This time, he gets Phoenix down off of his feet. He then follows up with stiff kicks and stomps to the sides of Phoenix.

Johnny: See, now this is good action.

Poppi: You only like it when Phoenix gets hurt!

Johnny: No, I also like it when that brat gets hurt too.

The clock gets down to 5:15 as Salazar connects with a snap DDT to Phoenix. He then hooks the leg and goes for another pinfall.

One...


T...

And another kick out by Phoenix. Salazar, starting to get angry, lays left punches into Phoenix's forehead. The ref starts the five count, which Salazar stops at four and then pulls Phoenix back to his feet. Salazar kicks Phoenix in the stomach and then sets him up for the Bliss in Abyss, but as he gets Phoenix up on his shoulders, he gets out of the hold and gets Salazar down into a dragon sleeper submission. The crowd starts to cheer as the ref gets down and sees if Salazar wants to tap out.

Hector: Come on! It can't end this way!

But in the nick of time, Salazar makes his hand to the second rope where Phoenix has to break the hold. He then pulls Salazar back up and chops him a few times to the nearby corner. He then whips Salazar into the opposite side corner, which he follows up with a quick splash seconds later. Phoenix follows up with another one, to the opposite corner. He then grabs ahold of the back of Salazar's head and looks at the clock on the Khaostron. It reads 2:26 and counting. Phoenix goes for an uppercut and then pulls Salazar out into the middle of the ring. He kicks him once and then sets him up for a powerbomb, then pulls him up for another.

Poppi: Looks like Phoenix is going to end this here!

Johnny: With one of his boring moves.

But as Phoenix goes for the second powerbomb, Salazar rolls over and gets Phoenix down into a roll up pinfall again.

One...


Two...

Again, Phoenix kicks out with enough time. Salazar quickly gets back to his feet and bounces off of the ropes, he then delivers a quick dropkick to the chest of Phoenix. He then gets back up and signals for the end as he pulls Phoenix to his feet. He kicks him once again and goes for another Bliss in Abyss, but as he hooks the arm for the pump handle part, Phoenix flips over and kicks Salazar in the stomach.

Hector: What the...?

Phoenix then grabs Salazar once again and sets him up for a vertical suplex, but then switches it into the Phoenix Driver. He nails the move and hooks the leg of Salazar.

One...



Two...



Three!

Yuri Testkov: Here's your winner, with 43 seconds left on the clock, Phoenix!

Phoenix (Fiery Mix) starts to play as Phoenix reaches for his belt, but the ref tells him that he don't have it. He then looks out of the ring and sees Ghalleon carrying the belt over his right shoulder. The music cuts out as Ghalleon starts to speak into a mic.

Ghalleon: You want this Phoenix?

Phoenix nods at Ghalleon's comment.

Ghalleon: I know its yours. I won't stoop low enough to steal it from you. But I will tell you that I've got my eye out for this thing. I've had it out for it for some time now and I'm not bound to give it up because you're the champion.

The crowd starts to boo Ghalleon as he speaks. Phoenix begins to make the "blabbing" sign with his hand.

Ghalleon: Listen closely Phoenix. I'm not scared of your records, your undefeated streak or the other federations you've crushed in your career. Plain in simple, I'm not afraid of you at all.

Chants of asshole starts to fill the arena as Ghalleon pauses in his speaking.

Ghalleon: Listen Phoenix, you may have the name of a mythical bird that always comes back. But nothing lasts forever, remember that Phoenix. Its only a matter of time before I get this belt off of your hands.

Ghalleon then moves in close to the ring, he then lays it on the apron as Phoenix stands at the ropes, looking on at Ghalleon. The two look at each other as Ghalleon and Salazar make their way to the back.

The KhaosTron shows Duke McFilthy, looking very moody over his loss to Carpenter, walking past some crewmen.

Duke: Damn that Power. He set me up. That jackass thinks he's gotten over on me. I don't think so! If I find you Power, I'm gonna-

Duke turns and corner and nearly collides with TKOW owner T.H. Power.

T.H. Power: You're gonna what?

Duke: Give me one good reason why I don't crush you where you stand.

T.H. Power: Your job. Attacking your boss is never good for your employment opportunities.

Duke: You think that bothers me? If it means making you a bloody mess on the wall I can live with it.

T.H. Power: You want a piece of me that bad? Maybe I should call you Cold Angel. So fine. How about you and me settle this in the ring next Mass Khaos, one on one.

Duke: Your death warrant.

Duke stalks away from Power.

Tito: The boss stepping in the ring to take on Duke? I can't believe this!

Johnny: He's just a show off. He thinks he's a star.

"Dizzy" hits and Soulfly comes out with a mic in hand, Tobias Burden alongside him. The two enter the ring.

Fly: Cut the music...

He waits a second, as the music stops.

Fly: Now, I know that you never thought you'd see me standing in the same ring with Tobias "The Heartless" Burden and not kicking the living shit out of each other. But here we stand together, not because we like each other, not because we want to, but because we have to.

Tobias nods, seemingly in agreement with what Fly's saying.

Fly: Earlier tonight, two little pussies took the liberty to show the world just what kinda men they are. And those two little cunts are Ghalleon and Salazar. Me and Toby are just minding our own business, and these little bastards decide to attack us from behind like the little nutless bastards they are. Come out here and face us like men you sorry cowards. Come on!

Tobias taps his chest with his hands and stretches his arms out, as if signaling for them to come out.

Fly: Come on, there's two of us and two of you. Come on out here and show us how good you two are. You both claim to be great. We don't believe you. Come out here and fucking prove how "great" you are to us, unless you're scared.

Fly takes the mic away from his mouth and steps back, keeping his eye on the ramp. After a few moments, the crowd begins to get restless, Tobias asks fly for the mic.

Tobias: Come on! We're right here waiting on you! What's wrong you don't let settling problems like men, face to face? Fine I'll turn my back.

Tobais turns around so that his back is to the ramp.

Tobias: Hey, I can't see you coming! Come on out! Here's your chance!

Finally, "Magic Emperor Ghaleon - Mechanical Castle" hits. Tobias turns around, Fly leans up on the ropes shouting towards the ramp. Out steps Ghalleon and Salazar. They stop in front of the steps. Fly and Tobias motion for them to come to the ring. Then, the backup arrives. Crim, Saphron, Pender and The Duke. Together, The Order make their way to the ring, despite the jeers of the fans. They reach the ring where Fly and Tobias are raising hell. Sal starts to step onto the apron, but hops down as Tobias jumps in his direction. Ghalleon starts shouting something at the others, and they listen, as they disperse, surrounding the ring. Fly and Tobias make their way to the center of the ring, ending up back to back, trying to watch all the order members, as they all enter the ring at once. Fly and Tobias stay back to back, keeping their eyes on everyone at once, both ready to throw down. Ghalleon, standing beside Salazar, picks up the mic.

Ghalleon: Look, I know you're high as a kite.

Ghalleon points at Fly.

Ghalleon: And I know you're trying to make an impactful return.

He points at Tobias.

Ghalleon: But calling us out like this is nothing more than a mistake on your part. We gave you both a chance earlier tonight. A chance to run with the next great stable of TKOW, a group that will attain great success, now, not later. You guys gave up that oppurtunity, because you're both morons. But now you've given us no choice....

Ghalleon pauses, as if he's gathering his thoughts. Then, he catches Fly with a Ragnarok out of nowhere! Salazar clubs down Tobais at the same time, and the rest of the group quickly converges and starts stomping away at the two men on the mat. Ghalleon steps back and starts barking orders. Tobias is picked up by Pender and Saphron. Salazar sets him up, and hits Bliss In The Abyss. Meanwhile Soulfly is picked up and placed into a turnbuckle, while Ghalleon climbs to the second tope, to hit Perfect Blue.

Superstar Johnny Styles: This is what I call fun.

Tito: How can you say that? This is an outrage!

Superstar: I can say anything I want, and this isn't an outrage. This is an asskicking.

Duke pulls Fly up from the mat, as Pender pulls Tobias up and whips him into a turnbuckle, where he and Saphron start double teaming him with kicks to the midsection. Duke hits Fly with the Fifty one/fifty. Saphron sets Tobias up on the turnbuckle for an acid bomb, and he leaps off as Crim bounces off the ropes with the Crim Cutter.

Tito: Chrono Shocker! This is totally unfair, they're just decimating them.

Superstar: This is what I call entertainment.

Saphron and Crim climb to the top ropes, as Salazar pulls Tobias up. Pender and Ghalleon stomp away on Fly. Ghalleon stops, only so that he can hit the Ragnarok on Burden, who was being held by Salazar to ensure the kick met its mark. Pender backs away from Fly as The Outer Force leaps off the turnbuckles for "Factor Of Despair" onto Soulfly. Duke and Pender roll out of the ring. Duke grabs a chair, Pender pulls a table out from under the ring and slides it in the ring. Salazar quickly sets up the table, as Ghalleon pulls fly up into the turnbuckle, where he starts leveling him with right hands. Crim and Saphron pull up Tobias and hit a double neckbreaker on him. Ghalleon whips Fly out of the turnbuckle, into a chairshot from duke!

Tito: I heard his skull crack! Fly's bleeding! He needs medical attention!

Salazar rolls Tobias onto the table, as Pender and the other force start to work stomping on Fly. Ghalleon assists Salazar by holding Fly's legs as Salazar climbs the turnbuckles, when suddenly...

Tito: The calvary has arrived!

Superstar: Damn! Just as it was getting good.

Section 8 has arrived to stop the beatdown. Kid styles, all three of the Birds of Prey, and Gabriel Hunglestein. Gabe pushes Salazar off the top rope into the ring. Aello is the second to the ring, and she climbs to the top turnbuckle, as Gabe does the same. She leaps off the top rope just as the others reach the ring. Aello dropkicks the chair back into Duke's face as Gabriel hits a Firebird Splash onto Salazar. Kid quickly takes the fight to Ghalleon, as Griffen and Hawke take it to Crim and Saphron. Pender runs at Gabe, who catches him with a droptoe hold. Salazar stumbles up and Gabe floors him with a clothesline. Salazar rolls out of the ring. Duke stumbles to his feet and is taken down with a hurricaranna from Aello.

Tito: The odds are evening up now!

Styles manages to dropkick Ghalleon, which sends the Advanced Human to the outside of the ring. Meanwhile, Matt whips Crim to the ropes and Gabriel helps toss Crim to the outside of the ring, as Lady Hawke manages to clothesline Saphron, sending him to the outside as Duke rolls to the outside, where Salazar and Ghalleon are recovering from their incidents. Matt lifts Pender over his head in a military press and tosses him into his Order running mates below.

Tito: And Section 8 has stopped this assault on Soulfly and Tobias Burden!

Superstar: *cupping hands around his mouth* Booooooo!

The Order collects themselves on the outside and start backing away from the ring, as Section 8 watches them from the ring. Fly is now on his side on the table and he seems to be in confusion at why Section 8 just helped him out. Tobias has pulled himself to a sitting position in the turnbuckle and is wondering the same thing.

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Bob Lancelot is sitting on a steel folding chair backstage, he is wearing his wrestling attire.

Lancelot: So Cody, the time is here. Your palms are sweaty, aren't they? Your hearbeat is increasing, isn't it? Your mind is rolling over and over, trying to put some sort of sense on the situation, its planning on how it will react when you can't stand anymore, isn't it?

Let me tell you something, when you step through that curtain tonight Cody... and you hear the crowd chant your name, savour every second of it, for it will be the last time you ever hear that sweet, sweet sound of the crowd chanting your name. After I beat you tonight Cody, your name will be forgotten in TKOW, and the only memory of it will be when people look at the record books and they see your name under the title of "Worst Television Champion Ever". The chants will be gone Cody. The chants will be gone.

I bet your palms are sweating even more now, aren't they? Hearbeat is even faster now, isn't it? Mind can't handle the situation now, can it? Thought so.

Bob looks behind him and we see Dark Schnitzel pacing around in the background, Bob grins, stands up - folds his chair up and smashes it across the wall twice, Bob looks at the camera.

Lancelot: I'll see you in the ring.

Bob grins before walking towards Schnitzel and putting his arms around his shoulders,Schnitzel looks down at Bob before walking away.

The lights go off and "All My Life" by Foo Fighters starts.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM OXFORD ENGLAND, STANDING 5 FEET 10 INCHES AND WEIGHING 230 POUNDS,BOB, LANNNNNNCELOOOOTTT~!

Bob hobbles down to the ring to boo's from the crowd, he steps into the ring and climbs onto the turnbuckle and points at the crowd, he then hops off of the turnbuckle and waits for his oponent.

As the soft music comes on, Cody comes out. He wears a black shirt that clings tight to his body. On the titan tron we see Cody standing there, his back to the Camera, down his arm a single stream of blood trickles down Cody, he lifts his head up and turns to face the Camera, just as the real Cody begins to make his way down the isle.

Yuri Testkov: HIS OPPONENT, FROM BINGHAMTON NEW YORK, STANDING 6 FEET 4 INCHES AND WEIGHING 215 POUNDS, YOUR TKOW TELEVISION CHAMPION, COOOOOOOOOOOODDYYYY~!

Beside him there is a beautiful young red head, clinging to his arm, whispering to him words of confidence that just don't seem to be sinking in. He holds the ropes so she can get into the ring. She offers her a hand, but he doesn't take it. He steps through the ropes and looks longingly at the couples that are in the audience, envy in his eyes.

The two wrestlers wait in their corners as special referee Jesse James Blackwood checks the both for weapons. He checks Cody, who is clean. However, Jesse finds a foreign object in Bob's wrist tape! It's a set of brass knuckles. Jesse takes it and throws it to ringside. He signals to Bob that he will cock slap him if he misbehaves and crowd goes nuts!

Tito: Our GM is threatening Bob with bodily harm!

Johnny: That cock slap can be more lethal than one of Chuck Norris' best roundhouse kicks.

The special ref continues to check Bob Lancelot, who is furthermore clean. Having checked both men, Jesse calls for the bell! Both wrestlers slowly circle each other, ultimately locking up with a collar and elbow tie up. Bob manages to apply a headlock on Cody, who quickly send him to the ropes. When Bob comes back Cody catches him with a Lou Thez press and fists start flying. Both men roll out of the ring as the ref begins the traditional ten count.

Blackwood begins to fondle her breasts as Schnitzel suddenly appears from the crowd! He picks up Bob and rolls him into the ring,then he picks up Cody and throws him up the apron, holding him by the neck. Bob slowly gets up and on sight of the situation knows exactly what to do.

Jessica: Hello TKOW fans, I hope you?re enjoying Mass Khaos, I?m Jessica Spears, back where I belong, with my family, here in TKOW.

Jessica: What?

Duke: Interviewing me, is it hard for you?

Jessica: I?m a professional.

Duke: I?ve seen you naked.

Jessica: Can we keep this about wrestling?

Duke: I?ve not only seen you naked, but I?ve licked every inch of your body.

Jessica: Duke!

Duke: Even your feet.

Jessica: I have a job to do here, and you?re trying to get in my head, Stop It!

Duke: Actually, I?m trying to get in your pants, but we?ll play it your way, babe.

Jessica: Please tell us who you?re facing at New Era.

Duke: I haven?t told, Power, My Lawyer, My closest friends, even my dear mother, why the fuck would I tell you?

Jessica: Why not?

Duke: Fair Enough, I?ll tell you, but I have to whisper it to you, lean in close.

Duke: You used to love that, what happened?

Jessica: I?m here to conduct and interview, nothing else.
