The cameras start to roll after they come back from the comercial break. It shows Saphron grabbing something to drink at a table. Then a figure steps foward, still surrounded in shadows.
Voice: What do you think about your actions?
Saphron: What do I think? Damn it! I could've been left paralysed or dead because of that attack last week. And for what? Nothing.
Voice: Are you sure about that?
Saphron turned around quickly and spoke with a just tone.
Saphron: Yes, yes I do. And I'm sure that my brother, Crim, will agree with me on this. Outer Force isn't going to stand for this any longer!
He then storms off from the table as the figure steps out, revealing Hector Orlouge.
Hector: And what if he don't?
The Khaostron moves Hector to one of the side screens as the main screen shows Soulfly, who is already in his ring attire, the black sweatpants, with flaming potleafs going up the sides of the legs, and adorning a pair of shades. And alongside him stands Alice Allure, who is dressed somewhat differently than what we're acustomed to, her hairs pulled back in a pony tail, she has on a black Pantera T-shirt, and some black jeans with the chain accesories on the side. D-matic stands on the other side of Fly, and he is wearing a Nebraska Cornhuskers football jersey. Playboy Bill Jakes stands somewhat to the left of the trio with a microphone in his hand.
Playboy: Before New Era began, GM Jesse James Blackwood added a stipulation to tonight's main event, in which he has barred Section 8, Tobias Burden, and The FIRM from ringside and went on to say that if any of these parties went against his orders that there would be severe repercussions. Soulfly, how does this change your gameplan going into tonights world title match with Phoenix?
Fly: It doesn't change a damn thing Tito. I don't need anyone to help me tonight. I will go out there and beat Phoenix like a dick in a whorehouse regardless of who is at ringside, regardless of who's in the back, regardless of who the referee is, regardless of who's sitting in the front row, and regardless of who's watching at home. As a matter of fact, that helps me, as it keeps his lover boys T.H. Power and Kid Styles backstage and allow me to capture the world title once again.
Playboy: What are your thoughts on the match itself?
Fly: In less than one hour Phoenix will step into the ring with me and, once again, I will walk out as TKOW World Champion. I will go down in history books as being the first ever two time World Champion in TKOW history, and I will be the first man to ever beat Phoenix in a TKOW ring, an...
Voice:
I don't think so.
The camera zooms out as Ghalleon walks into the shot.
Ghalleon: You will not be the next TKOW champion, and you damn sure won't be the first man to beat Phoenix in TKOW. Those distinctions will belong to ME at Megabowl after I pummel Kid Styles to claim my rightfull place as the number one contender for the world title.
Fly: Bitch, you won't make it out of New Era, much less make it to Megabowl.
Ghalleon: And you have a better chance? You're washed up. You're a has-been. You are the past, and I am the present and the future. You need to go smoke your "fuel source" because when Phoenix is done with you the last thing on your mind... In fact, the only thing on your mind will be having to go through the rest of your life knowing that Phoenix made you... his bitch.
Soulfly tries to swing at Ghalleon but Alice and D quickly restrain him and keep him at bay.
Ghalleon: Go and soften up Phoenix for me, Soulfly. We all know you can't beat him, but I can.
Ghalleon walks away laughing as Fly stares him down, trying to get out of his stablemates grasps.
Fly: You better watch your fucking back, Ghalleon!
The Duke and Meghan McFilthy can be seen backstage. Duke is steamed after his foray into the General Manager?s office, and Meghan is trying to calm him down.
Meghan: Duke, please. You need to stop worrying about some stupid off color comments and focus! You have a great opportunity here tonight. Win the Gauntlet, and show everyone just how serious they need to take you!
The Duke: No Meghan! I?m The Duke! I should be getting a title shot! So what if I couldn?t beat Alice Allure or Carpenter. Whoopdee doo that I spent weeks in Intensive Care over an attack that most people would have bounced back from in a few days. I?m the shit! No one puts down The Duke!! RAR!!
Meghan: I?ll go get you your laxative so you can ease a little more of that stick out of your ass.
Meghan leaves, clearly indifferent towards her brother/husband/lover/whatevers problems.
The Duke: *grumbling* I like having this stick up my ass. *yelling* DID I TELL YOU I DESERVE A TITLE SHOT?! I RULE LIKE THAT YOU KNOW!!
In a flash of black and red, someone assails Duke with a vicious shot from a large metal container!
Voice: Oh yeah bitch!! PAYBACK TIME!!
Tito: No-
Johnny:
-fucking-
Tito: -way!!
Both: Elmo?!?!
It is indeed the red furred muppet creature, a staple of SCW programming. At least until Duke burned him a new one. The burning is still evident, as parts of the red fuzz are charred and black or grey. Elmo smashes the metallic container into Duke over and over, then drops it, mounts Duke, and starts wailing away, busting Duke wide open!
Tito: That?s a can of gasoline!
Elmo continues to thrash on Duke, oblivious to the camera.
Elmo: You think what I did to you LAST TIME hurt? You won?t get out of the hospital for a year this time fucker! THAT?S IF YOU SURVIVE!!
Elmo rips off one of the fuzzy hands, revealing a brass knuckle underneath, showing how he could keep The Duke down with furry fists of, well, fury.
Meghan: NO!!
Meghan rushes to her, whatevers, aid, only to have Elmo turn and crack her a good one in the chin with his brass knuckled fist. She crumples like a sack of taters.
Elmo: Elmo thinks it?s time for some ADULT fun!
Elmo drops to a straddle on top of her and rips off her shirt. He turns his fuzzy head and thumbsup the camera, then rips off her bra and dives in!
Elmo: Shit! Stupid head getting in my fucking way!
Elmo pulls his head up, tilting it back towards the camera, and dives in again!
Elmo: Well THAT didn?t help.
The Duke: YOU?!? I?ll kill you ?
Elmo backhands him (still brassed) to shut him up. He stands up, puts his head back on, and steps off camera, grabbing a satchel. He opens it up and pulls out a strap-on, which he begins to attach to Meghan?s waist!
Tito: I don?t think I like where this is going?
He starts pulling her unconscious form to her feet, to adjust the strap-on, but Duke also starts to stand. He shifts her under his arm, then backfists a bloody Duke in the gnads, grabs his face and puts it into his shoulder, then drops, DDT?ing and front facebusting the McFilthy duo!
Johnny: You know, there was a time when Duke was respected.
Tito: I get the feeling that time has passed?
Elmo rolls Meghan over, then yanks down Duke?s pants, exposing his rear to the world. He deadlifts Meghan onto Duke?s back and situates her legs to straddle his, then grabs the strap-on and starts maneuvering it into Duke?s pants!
Tito: Oh that?s too much! Somebody cut away from that!
Once Elmo is satisfied, he stands up and admires his work.
Elmo: You will never. NEVER. Forget the name of *imitates Goldust?s breathing in* Ellllllllmmooooooooah!!
Elmo grabs the gascan and rips off the top, throwing it at the camera man, then stands over the McFilthy?s and begins dousing them.
The gas stirs Meghan, and she begins shifting her weight, which (one way or the other!) is noticed by Duke, who also starts to stir!
Elmo drops the can and pulls a zippo out of his bag.
Elmo: The Duke, The Duke, The Duke is on fire. The Duke, The Duke, The Duke is on fire. We don?t need no water let the motherfucker burn. Burn motherfucker.
Elmo flips the lid and lights the zippo.
Elmo: Burn.
He turns and starts to walk away, then throws the zippo over his shoulder.
And the shot cuts back to ringside.
Tito: No!! Not then! What, what happened!! What the hell is wrong with you people!
The shot goes back to the hallway, where the camera is focused in on a hand holding the zippo, still lit, six inches off the ground, and the McFilthy?s shaking behind it. As the camera pans back, we see Kid Styles flip the lid of the zippo back down as Phoenix and the Birds of Prey arrive.
Kid: Too late. The guy's gone.
Phoenix: Who woulda thought that crazy muppet would go that far.
Kid: He said something about attacking Duke before. You think he?s the one that?s been beating up everyone lately?
Phoenix: I?m not taking any chances. Split up and track him down, now. I?ll watch these two till Security can take over.
Section 8 breaks and Phoenix is left pondering who is indeed behind the attacks.
Yuri Testkov: THE FOLLOWING BOUT IS THE BRUTALITY GAUNTLET, AND WILL FEATURE FIVE OF THE NASTIEST SUPERSTARS IN TKOW~! IN THE RING, BLOOOOOD, CHIIIIIIIIILD~!
Tito: I've been informed that due to his injuries and near burned experience, Duke McFilthy will not be participating in tonights Gauntlet, and will be taking an unknown amount of time off.
A heavy organ blast hits the speakers and, beat by beat, rises into "Phantom of the Opera" as lightning hits the top of the KhaosTron and the screen "explodes", revealing the name "Carpenter" written in dripping blood. Carpenter, free from his normal restraints, stalks onto the stage. He cracks his neck and pulls the metal facemask on.
Yuri Testkov: COMING TO THE RING, FROM RED BANK NEW JERSEY, STANDING 6 FEET 2 INCHES AND WEIGHING 210 POUNDS, THE CRAZIEST BASTARD IN THIS ARENA, CARARRRRRPENTERRRRRR~!
Carpenter eyes Blood Child, who's already in the Brutality Cage, as he shifts his bulky coat around.
Carpenter takes off his jacket before he enters the cage, and we can now see why his coat was so puffed.
Tito: Oh my god...is that...what I think it is?
Johnny: It certainly is Poppi. It's Clench's prostetic leg. Remember, Clench is retarded so he's possibly staying at the same loony bin as Carpenter. Hopefully Carpenter killed him in the process of getting the leg.
Carpenter runs at Blood Child with the leg, and swings it connecting with Blood Childs face. Blood Child stumbles back and Carp stays on the attack, by smacking BC across the back several times with the leg. Carpenter tosses the leg asie, and reaches into the side of the cage, and pulls out a 2x4, wrapped in barbwire. BC is struggling to get to his feet, Carpenter steps up onto the second rope in the corner, and raises the weapon above his head. He waits for BC to get to his feet, and for BC to turn around. Carp leaps off, and swings down, sending the 2X4 down ontop of BC's head. After BC hits the ground, Carp stands by his head, and takes a golf swing with it, and smacks BC right in the face, the barbwire ripping into his skin.
Carpenter takes the 2X4 and hits it across the top turnbuckle, and yanks it off, ripping the pad off in the process. Satisfied with this, Carpenter then lodges the 2x4 into the corner, so taht whenever someone gets whipped into this particular one, they'll get a nasty surprise. Once it's set to his liking, Carp turns around, and gets rammed right into his own hellacious creation by BC. BC, having changed the momentum, reaches in between the bars and pulls out a crowbar. HE turns to Carp and swings high, connecting with his chest, and then swings for the stomach, then the knees, then the stomach, then the chest again. Carpenter then shouts out
"Is that the best you got pussy!"
BC swings again, in an uppercut fashion, and catches carp right under the chin. Carp seems to just lay in the turnbuckle, as BC fiddles around the bottom of the cage, looking for something just right, and he pulls out a cheese grater. He turns around, only to get dropkicks back to the mat. Carpenter picks up the cheese grater, and stands over BC. After a couple of knuckle shots to the back of the head, Carp begins rubbing BC's face into the grater, further ripping into the skin. After he's done, Carp holds the grater up in the air above his head, and it's dripping with blood. Now, Carp looks into the cage, and he finds a glass bottle, full of hard liqour (We're talking 190 Proof) and a pack of matches. Carp opens up the bottle and pours the alcohol onto the barbed wire baseball bat. When he's done, he turns around and sees Blood child running at him, so he swings with the bottle and breaks it over BC's head, sending him crashing into the mat. Carp reaches down and picks up one of the glass shards from the bottom, and cuts it across his arm, to get an adrenaline rush off the pain, then he hops down and drags the shard into the forehead of BC.
After he carves "CMC" into BCs forehead, he tosses it aside, and picks up the matches. Then he picks up BC, and lays him into the ropes. He strikes a match, drops it onto the alcohol soaked 2x4 and thus, sets it ablaze. Now, armed with a fiery weapon, Carpenter takes the searing hot weapon and takes it right to blood child. After about seven swings, the fire dies down and Carpenter gets bored with this weapon and goes to find another. And he pulls out a stop sign. He positions it in the middle of the ring, and turns to BC. He DDT's him onto the stop sign. Well, he tries to. BC picks Carpenter up and spinebusters him onto the stop sign. Knowing he has to stay on Carp, BC drags carp up and sets him up for a pumphandle slam, but instead of slamming him down, he runs and tosses Carp into the side of the cage. Carp's clothing and bandages get caught in the barbwire, and he hangs there for a minute. BC pulls something big out from near the canvas, it happens to be a 45 pound weight used on a bench press. He takes it and hurls it at Carpenter, and it hits Carpenter below the belt. The impact is enough to cause him to fall from the side of the cage. And Carpenter doesnt seem to be moving. The ref starts the ten count.
Ref: One

BC turns to celebrate, thinking Carpenter will stay down, but just at that instance, Carpenter leaps to his feet. Seeing where BC is, he quickly heads to the nearby turnbuckle, climbs it, reaches up to grab the bars on the cage ceiling, and starts climbing across, as if they were monkey bars. Almost every other bar, he grabs ahold of barbwire, but it doesn't seem to bother Carp. He positions himself behind BC, grabs something from up top, and watches BC. Just as the big man turns around, Carp swings himself towards him, and catches him with a hurricarrana. Carp had also pulled a chain down with him when he came down, and he wraps that around BC's neck and pulls back, trying to rip his neck off with the chain. After a few moments Carp releases the hold, but only so he can find him a new "toy" and he finds not one, but two of them. A steel chair and a sledgehammer. He takes the chair, and positions it around the ankle of BC, and then starts wailing the chair with the sledgehammer in an attempt to break the big mans ankle. And after the 5th shot, he may have. So he takes the sledgehammer and slams it down across BC's back for good measure and toss it aside.
Carpenter drags BC over to the Stop sign, and sets him up for a piledriver and hits it. Dead on the sign. The ref starts the count.

Carpenter doesn't want this match to end just yet, and he climbs a nearby turnbuckle.

A swanton from Carpenter and the ref stops the count. Carp drags BC to a standing position, but BC isn't exactly "finished" as he grabs Carp by the throat and choke tosses him across the ring. His foot gives out and he falls next to the ropes. He reaches and grabs something out of the cage. He struggles to stand, but it is extremly difficult, as he has to support all his weight on one foot. Carp is up and heads over, and we see what it was BC pulled out of the cage. Pepper spray. He sprays it right into the mask, aiming at the eye holes, and he manages to get some into the eyes. Carpenter falls straight to the mat, blinded by this, and gives BC a great advantage. BC hobbles over and picks up a kendo stick. He wobbles back over to Carp and starts wailing away with the stick on carp's back, delivering several loud shots, before the stick actually breaks into two pieces. BC falls to a sitting position, grabs the chain and the smaller stick, and makes a makeshift cast around his right ankle, to give him some kind of support to continue.
Tito: Quick thinking on the part of BC to give him better leverage when he stands.
Johnny: It's not going to help him. Carpenter's too crazy for him.
It takes him a hot minute to complete his ankle support and, by the time BC has finished attending to his injury, Carp is already on his feet, and has found something in the cage. He turns around and nails BC with a right hand, and the aide of the knuckles, sends him sprawling. Carp then whips out the handcuffs he found in the cage, and cuffs both of BCs arms behind his back. The masked mad man then goes to work, as he pulls BC up and slams his head facefirst into the exposed turnbuckle. He then turns him around and lays him into the turnbuckle and nails him a couple of times with right hands in the temple to leave him in wonderland for a few moments. Carp pulls out a plain 2x4 from the cage wall and sets it up in front of BC, using the Turnbuckle to support it. He then pulls a 22 inch TV from the cage and sets it on the 2x4.
Tito: What is Carpenter doing?
Johnny: The thing he does best, hurt people.
Carpenter pulls another chain from the cage, throws a few more knuckle shots to the head for good measure and heads to the center of the ring. He tosses one end of the chain up into the top of the cage, so that it crosses over a bar and comes back down to him. He takes both ends of the chains and heads to the corner opposite BC. And climbs to the top, still holding both ends of the chains. The middle of the chain is still hung on the cage's bar. Carpenter leaps off the turnbuckle and swings along the chain across the ring, and when the swing reaches it's highest point, he lets go of it, and flys forward, dropkicking the TV straight into BC's face, and the screen shatters.
Carpenter himself is hurt from the move, as his back came down across the sledgehammer, but he's moving around on the mat, keeping the referee from initiating a count. Finally Carp gets to his feet. He seems to be satisfied with his work thus far, and looks for one more toy, to send things off right. And what better weapon, than a noose. HE wraps it around BC's neck, and drags him out to the center of the ring. Carpenter ties the other end of it to the chain, and pulls it so that BC's toes is barely touching the mat. Carpenter wraps the chain around a turnbuckle, so as to keep BC hanging while he has his fun. He picks up the sledgehammer. A shot to the ankle, an shot to the knees, a shot to the ribs, to the stomach, to the chest, to the shoulder and to the head. Tosses it aside. Picks up the pepper spray and gives BC a return spray. This one is more agonizing to BC than the prior shot was to Carp, due to the fact that BC's face is solid red from all the lacerations on his face. And pepper spray and open wounds don't mix. At all.
And Carp pulls out a bottle of beer from the cage. He smashes it over BCs head, then starts stabbing BC with it, repeatedly. Not yet satisfied, he picks up some of the larger pieces, and stabs them into BCs chest and arms, making sure that they stay in. Then he finds some loose barb wire, and wraps it around BC's ribs, takes the plain two by four, and starts swinging away with it, nearly a dozen times, when the 2x4 finally gives way, and cracks into several pieces.
Then, Carp goes to town with the brass knucks and the 187 Pummeling. He starts with the body shots. Normally, you can count the number of body shots, but this tim Carp's just throwing them wildly, and with BC unable to defend himself, he just looses it. Maybe 25 alternating right and left hand shots to the body. But most likely more. It's almost impossible to count the way he's throwing em. Then he switches to the head, and he slows down, so he can get more power behind these shot. He alternates parts of the head with each hand. Four to the jaw, four to the nose, four to the forehead, four to each side of the forehead, one to the throat AND... a vicious swinging double axehandle, with such force that it actually breaks the chain and sends BC sprawling to the mat.
Tito: Stick a fork in him, he's done.
And Carpenter does just that, as he picks up a fork near the ropes and stabs it in the stomach of BC, then backs up and starts punching himself in the sides of the head with the knuckles as the referee counts out BC.

Yuri Testkov: YOUR WINNER, THE LAST MAN STANDING, CAARRRRRRRPENTERRRR~!
Tito: Blood Child might be dead after that heinous attack!
Johnny: We could only hope! He sucked ass. Lots of ass.
EMT's rush the ring as John Valery checks on an unconcious Blood Child. Carpenter mimics yawning and takes a seat in the far corner, and begins to nod off. The EMT's place Blood Child on a board and start to carry him out of the ring.
Tito: My goodness. Is there anyone in this Gauntlet that can stand up to the evil that is Carpenter?
Johnny: If there is, we might be screwed out of some more good old maimings. Bring on the next corpse!
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".
Yuri Testkov: THE NEXT ENTRY, HAILING FROM NEWARK NEW JERSEY, STANDING SIX FOOT FOUR AND WEIGHING TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE POUNDS, HE IS THE LEADER OF SECTION 8, HE IS THE OWNER OF TKOW, HE IS, T., H., POOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEERRRRRRRRRR~!
Power runs down the ramp, passing the EMT's as he wraps Phoenix's manrikigusari (ninja chain) around his fist. He takes off his sunglasses and throws them into the crowd before climbing the steps and stepping into the cage.
Tito: He DID promise to meet Carpenter in this thing earlier tonight.
Johnny: Finally! The gods have answered my prayers and Power's gonna get a WHOOPIN!!
Tito: You just don't like him much do you?
Johnny: Who am I Joey Styles? I love everyone. As long as they cater to me...
Power runs full speed at Carpenter and falls into a low dropkick CRUSHING the psycho in the corner.
Tito: The boss off to a BEAUTIFUL start.
Power stays down, shifting onto his knees, and starts sending chain-wrapped fists into Carpenter?s chest. Carpenter shudders under the first few shots before striking back, sending a brass knuckled hand towards Power?s face. T.H. scrambles back, only taking a glancing blow to the cheek.
Johnny: The masked menace wakes up and he?s ready to go back to work!
Power slowly stands, regarding Carpenter, who also pulls himself to his feet. Carpenter raises both fists, then notices the knucks are still on. He lets out a low, guttural laugh and pulls them both off, throwing them outside of the cage! He leans back and waves for T.H. to bring the fight to him!
Tito: Carpenter seems to want this to last.
Power grabs a crowbar and rushes in, swinging high. Carpenter ducks and forward rolls, coming up with the 2x4! He turns and swings, but Power swings his crowbar as well, and the two weapons collide. Each man pulls back, resets themselves, and swing again.
Tito: Neither man giving the other an inch. They?re just dueling right now!
As Carpenter tries to swing again, Power deflects the shot with the crowbar in his left hand as he lets the manrikigusari fall free. As the weapons fall away, Power swings the chain up and lets the weighted end momentum itself around Carpenter?s exposed neck twice before dropping the crowbar and catching the chain. He twists the ends and steps past Carpenter, and uses the chain to pull Carpenter down into a neckbreaker.
Johnny: I?m bored!
Carpenter swings wildly with the 2x4, forcing Power to release the chain. He grabs the first thing he can reach from the side of the cage-
Tito: A chestplate of knight?s armor? You don?t think that?s from-
Both: Nah.
Power turns as Carpenter scrambles to his feet and attacks. He deflects the 2x4 with the plate and slams it into Carpenter?s facemask. Not letting up, he keeps ramming the armor into his mask, driving him backwards. Carpenter drops the 2x4 and rips the armor out of Power?s hands and drops it to one side, exclaiming
Nigga please!. Unfazed, Power quickly grabs Carpenter with both hands around his chain-wrapped neck and drops him onto the chestpiece with a falling two-handed chokebomb!
Tito: He?s folded in half! Power just cracked Carpenter?s back in two with that move!
Johnny: Least we finally got to see some action!
T.H. stands up and grabs Carpenter?s mask, yanking it off to reveal his bandaged face. The mask goes the way of the knucks as he takes a minute to choose his next weapon.
Tito: Power grabs a pair of chairs that are sitting between the ropes and the cagesides.
Power sets both chairs up, facing each other and touching, then turns back to Carpenter-
-who wails him in the guy with a stickball bat. He brings two fingers to his lips, as if he?s taking a hit, and uses the stickball bat to side russian legsweep Power to the mat!
Johnny: That?s a Soulfly move!
Tito: Indeed, Carpenter doing his worst Soulfly impersonation with a Downstroy!
Carpenter grabs Power?s legs and starts twisting them, steps over, and applies a standing texas cloverleaf, jamming the stickball bat in for extra leverage.
Tito: Can?t win this thing with a submission move.
Johnny: But he can tear some cartilage, maybe break a couple bones!
Carpenter leans into the move, wrenching at Power?s legs, relishing as T.H. yells out, trying to fight the pain. Carpenter pushes harder, even punching at Power?s legs, knees, whatever areas he can reach, just to intensify the move and make it hurt even worse.
Tito: I don?t think Carpenter has any interest in breaking the cloverleaf anytime soon.
Johnny: Good! Maybe if he disables Power we won?t have to see him anymore!
Tito: Cause he?s been around SO much recently.
Johnny: So he?s getting better. I want fast relief man! Get him off my TV!
Carpenter keeps on the damage, ignoring the amount of time that is passing. The crowd starts to jeer him, getting restless, being as it had been too long since the last bloodletting.
Finally Carpenter drops Power?s legs and steps back to survey the damage. He seems pleased as Power writhes on the ground, clutching at his legs, and strolls to the turnbuckle. Power growls, trying to suck up the pain, and grabs at the steel chairs he set up. As Carpenter climbs, Power manages to get halfway to his feet and fold one up.
Before Carpenter can turn around, he heaves the chair at the corner and falls over. The chair smashes into the back of Carpenter?s leg and he loses his balance, falls, and crotches himself on the turnbuckle. He falls back into a tree of woe when his legs get caught on the cage bars.
Tito: Power managed to save himself from an aerial attack.
Johnny: But is there anything left in his legs?
Tito: For Carpenter? I bet he?ll find SOMETHING.
Power uses the other chair and pushes himself up again, then uses the chair almost as a walker to limp to the corner. He measures Carpenter and sets the chair down, still setup, and grabs Carp?s head, lifting him out of the tree, and pulls him off the turnbuckle into a neckbreaker through the chair!
Tito: A LITTLE OFF THE TOP! Power just demolished that steel chair with Carpenter?s body!
Carpenter rolls on the mat, grabbing at his back, as Power grabs the ropes and pulls himself up once more. As Carpenter starts to stand, Power shoves his mitt into a glove wrapped in razorwire and covered with glass. Carpenter moves in and Power, using the ropes for a bit of steam, charges through Carpenter with a rock solid blow to the face with the glove!
Tito: Carpenter?s bleeding! He?s bleeding through the bandages!
Johnny: Looks like I underestimated Power?s resolve.
Carpenter gets up as Power is on the return trip, and takes ANOTHER solid shot to the face! Carpenter gets up again, and again Power goes to the face, but this time Carpenter sidesteps him and grabs him by the collar and waist, using his own momentum against him, and throws him HARD into the barbedwire cage side! Carpenter grabs Power by the back of the head and slams his face into the bars, busting him open, then pulls the manrikigusari off his neck and wraps it around T.H.?s, threading it through the cage bars and locking the ends shut!
Tito: I don?t think Carpenter?s too pleased that Power staged a comeback.
Johnny: Break him for all of us!
Carpenter forces T.H.?s body around and yanks off the glove as Power hangs against the ropes and cage. He mockingly slaps the glove across T.H.?s face, as if challenging him to a duel, and throws the glove away. He walks to one side of the cage and pulls down a framed portrait of T.H. Power dressed as Napolean, walks back to Power, and smashes it over Power?s head, sending glass flying.
He leaves the portrait hanging and goes to the other side of the ring to get the chair Power threw at him. Power shakes through his daze and with shaking hands, undoes the locking ends of the ninja chain, freeing himself. He holds himself back against the cage as Carpenter turns back towards him, chair in hand. Carpenter charges in with a big overhand swing, but Power drops to his ass at the last second and Carpenter connects with the cage!
Power sends an uppercut jab into Carpenter?s privates, doubling the maniacal one over, and pulls himself up once more. He forces Carpenter to bend over backwards and X-Twists him to the mat!
Tito: I didn?t think this match could possibly last this long! T.H. Power isn?t giving Carpenter an inch!
Johnny: It doesn?t matter! Carpenter can survive anything! You mark my words, Power is going to be a broken mess when Carpenter gets through with him!
Power strains and picks himself up off the mat, still favoring his legs. He grabs Carpenter and pulls him up too, sending a few right hands at his now red bandaged face. He whips him into the corner and grabs the chair, then limps to the opposite corner.
Tito: What?s Power trying to do now?
Power takes a few deep breaths then takes off on a run at Carpenter! Halfway across the ring he tosses the chair at Carpenter, who catches it, and then he leaps into a stinger splash!!
Tito: PINK SLIP!! Pink Slip with a chair!
Power slides back along the ropes, grimacing over the strain on his knees, as Carpenter drops the chair and falls forward face first. The ref starts the ten count but Power isn?t waiting.
Johnny: T.H. is going for wood!
Power hauls lumber from between the ropes and the cage wall and starts setting it up adjacent to a corner. As the ref hits four, he moves to another corner and pulls out a pane of inch thick glass, what used to be an office door, and lays it on top of the table. The ref is at nine, but Carpenter is up to his knees and the count stops. Power grabs a florescent light bulb off the cage ceiling as Carpenter comes up with a kendo stick.
*CRASH*
Power smashes the bulb over Carpenter?s head.
*CRACK*
Carpenter returns the assault, cracking the kendo stick over Power?s noggin.
Johnny: They?re going for more!
Both men grab at the hanging weapons, once more coming up with bulb and stick, respectively.
*CRASH* *CRACK*
Again both swings connect, and both men stagger. They both reach up, and bring down MORE weapons?
*clickHIZZZZZZZZ* *clickHIZZZZZZZZ*
Tito: No way?
Johnny: Way?
Both men now stand holding Force FX lightsabers. T.H.?s is green and Carpenter?s is red. They each stare at the glowing objects, but only for a moment, and then they attack each other!
The sounds of the fight can barely be picked up via the camera mic as they connect the blades of the sabers again and again, actually managing to DUEL in the middle of the ring. Carpenter gets the upper hand, fencing Power?s blade away from him and using BOTH sabers to point at Power?s throat. Power, however, grabs the lit blades and rips them from the handle housing, then uses both together to bash Carpenter in the side of the head.
As Power starts to pick Carpenter up, Carpenter mule kicks him in the nads and grabs him for a stunner, flips over his back into a sitout reverse ddt!
Tito: Carpenter hit Judgment! Is it enough to keep Power down??
Johnny: It doesn?t seem to me like Carpenter cares.
Carpenter finds his coat and pulls out a bottle of lighter fluid and starts spraying it on the glass covered table Power setup. Once he empties the bottle, he fishes out a Bic and a pair of handcuffs and lights up the table! The flames jump as the ref gets to six, and Carpenter starts pulling Power to his feet, and slaps the cuffs on one of Power's wrists. He shoves Power's arms behind him and locks on the other cuff!
Tito: Carpenter's not giving Power another chance in this one! He's helpless!
Carpenter lays in some knees to Power?s gut, pulling him closer to the corner nearest the table. He gets underneath him and shoves him to a sitting position on the top rope. Carpenter goes in low, getting his arms under Power?s legs, and forcing Power up onto his shoulders. He stands, putting everything he has into keeping the bigger man up, and takes two steps towards the table. He places his hands under Power?s butt, steadies, and shoves, pushing him off his shoulder and forward face first down into and through the fire, glass, and table!!
Tito: OH MY GOD!! ELECTRIC CHAIR BOMB FROM CARPENTER!!
One!
Johnny: Carpenter just put Power through flame, glass, and wood!
Tito: He can?t survive that!! It?s too much to ask!!
Carpenter sits down and begins to rock, his head turning, looking around at the flashbulbs and the cage, as the ref continues.
Four!
Tito: Carpenter?s moving on in this one. He?s managed to put down the boss.
Carpenter suddenly stops and scurries to his knees, hovering over Power.
Seven!
He hears the count and gets to his feet, and grabs Power, dragging him to his knees and stopping the count!!
Johnny: What?s he doing?!?
Carpenter forces T.H. to his feet and roughly slams him back into the turnbuckle. He moves away and grabs a chair, then opens it and sets it under a slumping Power. He creates a box with his two thumbs and index fingers, framing Power, then nods-
-and falls over.
One!
Tito: What the-
Two!
Johnny: What?s he doing?!?
Tito: This doesn?t make any sense! What could he be thinking?
Five!
Johnny: It?s finally happened.
Tito: What?
Johnny: He lost his damned mind!
Eight!
Tito: This can?t end like this!
Ten!!!
Yuri Testkov: YOUR WINNER, THE LAST MAN STANDING, T., H., POOWWWWWWWEEERRRRRRR~!
Carpenter stands up in the ring as the referee unlocks the cage door. He steps over to a dazed Power and pats him on the head.
Carpenter: I'm afraid I have things to do that are more important then this little battledome of yours. You enjoy whoever comes out next. And don't bother waiting up for me.
Carpenter leaves the cage and hops the barricade as the KhaosTron heads backstage.
