A snare drum kicks on into "Live To Win" as the screen explodes to start;



{Paul Stanley}

Frustrated
Degraded
Down before you're done

Rejection
Depression
Can't get what you want


The logo fades and and we're launched directly into a montage of TKOW 05-06 spots, focusing on wrestlers currently in the federation. Phoenix, Soulfly, Tobias Burden, Bob Lancelot, Salazar, Matt Griffen, Ghalleon, Outer Force, Aello, Carpenter, Pender, Lady Hawke, and Kid Styles. Shots of them all fly by, both spot shots as well as promo shots.

{Paul Stanley}

You ask me how I make my way
You ask me everywhere and why
You hang on every word I say
But the truth sounds like a lie


*Carpenter hitting Claire with a sick brainbuster from a ladder through a flaming table.*

{Paul Stanley}

Live to win
Till you die
Till the light dies in your eyes
Live to win
Take it all
Just keep fighting till you fall


*Matt pushes off with his good leg and starts to fall, twisting as he goes. Cameras continue to click as both men fall twenty feet. In the air, Matt continues to turn, and HITS A SUPER DIVE BOMB FROM NEAR THE TOP OF THE CAGE!! Both men hit with an amazing amoutn of force, bouncing them off the mat, Griffen going up nearly a foot, and THE CORNER OF THE RING COLLAPSES UNDER THEM!!*

{Paul Stanley}

Obsessive
Compulsive
Suffocate your mind

Confusion
Delusions
Kill your dreams in time


*Carpenter draws back and decks Celine Dion. The Harpy steps back and SHE decks Celine Dion.*

{Paul Stanley}

You ask me how I took the pain
Crawled up from my lowest low
Step by step and day by day
Till there's one last breath to go


*Fly grabs the ropes, bends down, then leaps up into the air and comes crashing down with a double foot stomp to the ribs of Phoenix*

{Paul Stanley}

Live to win
Till you die
Till the light dies in your eyes
Live to win
Take it all
Just keep fighting till you fall


*Carpenter heads back for Griffen who goes for the Claw Crush but Carpenter manages to change his momentum and catch his feet on the pipe supports in the flames and pushes off, pulling Matt off balance and off the scaffolding. Flash bulbs go off as both men tumble around one another in the air toward the Nippon table, which breaks on impact with a sickening ~THUD-CRACK!~ with Griffen on bottom. *

{Paul Stanley}

Day by day
Kickin' all the way
I'm not cavin' in
Let another round begin
Live to win

YEAH
LIVE
YEAH
WIN


*The Advanced Human stalks Kid as he slowly regains his feet, then sucide dives between the second and thrid ropes, right into Kid's face, sending both men sprawling down the rampway and towards the ladder!*

{Paul Stanley}

Live to win
Till you die
Till the light dies in your eyes
Live to win
Take it all
Just keep fighting till you fall


*Phoenix positions Soulfly facing away from him and climbs the ropes, all the way to the top, breaths in, drops the chain, hauls Soulfly up to his shoulder, falls, twists, and Death Pyre into the fiery pit below!*

{Paul Stanley}

Day by day
Kickin' all the way
I'm not cavin' in
Let another round begin
Live to win


*Mirrored images of Phoenix and Tobias sailing Coast to Coast on one another.*

{Paul Stanley}

Live to win


*Burden drops to his feet, pulls Salazar down, lifts him up for a powerbomb, and leaps off the stage with the Rubix Cube crashing through a hot dog vendor!*

{Paul Stanley}

Live to win


*Griffen points at Carpenter and pulls Phoenix all the way back to the opposite cage wall. He points again, and starts running Phoenix, getting them both up to full speed and SHOTPUTS HIM into the cage wall-

-which finally GIVES WAY!! The top hinge SNAPS and the wall swings out, causing Phoenix to twist and fall outside to the floor!!*

{Paul Stanley}

YEAH
LIVE
YEAH
WIN


*Phoenix standing on the top of the Prince of Hell structure, TKOW Title in hand.*

The camera pans around the inside of the Verizon Wireless Arena, showing a sold out crowd at a fever pitch. Fireworks explode off the stage, highlighting the five-piece KhaosTron.

Yuri Testkov: WELCOME TO MASS KHAOS~!

The crowd is on their feet, nearly rabid for the return of their favorite stars.

Tito: It's about time we got back on track here in TKOW, and prepare for the craziness that is Holiday Hell.

Johnny: I tell you Tito, MegaBowl V was exciting as hell, but I think I'll take a risk and say that Holiday Hell 2006 may be even crazier.

A guitar chord begins.

WEEEEEEEEE...

SWWEEEEE... EMOOOOOOO...

SWWEEEEE... EMOOOOOOO...

SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT EMOOOOOOOOOTION...

SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT EMOOOOOOOOOTION...

The "8" logo bounces around the KhaosTron, jumping around the HPWA logo as T.H. Power emerges from the backstage area to "Sweet Emotion".

You talk about things that nobody cares
Youre wearing out things that nobody wears
Youre calling my name but you gotta make clear
I cant say baby where Ill be in a year

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING THE LEADER OF SECTION 8, THE OWNER OF TKOW, HE IS, T., H., POOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEERRRRRRRRRR~!

Power forgoes the usual strut and powerwalks to the ring, briefcase in hand, scowling.

Tito: The boss starting off Mass Khaos? I wonder who got fired.

Johnny: If there's a God, you.

T.H. removes a microphone from his jacket pocket, but...

T.H. Power?s voice booms out ?SECURITY? over the speakers and Alien Ant Farm?s cover of ?Smooth Criminal? hits as Mike Oates leads the TKOW security force out to the ring.

Tito: What's all this about?

T.H. Power: TKOW has been down for the last couple of months following MegaBowl V, but it's far from out. We may not have the deep roster of non talented scumbags like some of our competition, but we still have some of the most thrilling competitors in the business, and as HVW proved, we are still the most hated company on the damn planet.

Some of the security officers unclip new ring apron banners. The TKOW logo now has "Most Hated" 'spray painted' over it.

T.H. Power: We will strive to continue to provide the best entertainment your money can buy and we promise, each and every day, we will piss off the competition as best we can. No one in this entire business knows the value of pissing off the masses like I do, and I will keep using that talent to keep TKOW on everyone's mind. Love us or hate us, you can never stop thinking about us!

The crowd seems to agree, chanting, cheering, and clapping.

T.H. Power: It's time for business folks. The first point of business has to be-

"Freak" by Flipp kicks in over the speakers...

{Jack Nicholson}
(Yeah. Wait'll they get a load of me...)

A shot of Carpenter, The Metatron, and Phoenix sitting on the stone throne appears on the 'tron.

GO!

A large circle of fire lights on the right side of the stage.

{Flipp}
I remember my high school teacher
She used to say I was a high school creature
And now my boss, says I am a lost cause
Some things are not what they seem
That's why they call me a freak
Yeah I don't wanna be like anybody else
That's why they call me a freak
Yeah I don't wanna be like everybody else
That's why they call me a freak
I asked my therapist if there was a cure
For people scared and actin' insecure
They treat me like a virus
They beat me to my knees
They treat me like a social disease

A throne begins to rise from circle. Phoenix is sitting on it, hands clasped underneath his chin. The Metatron stands to his right, the TKOW Title around his waist and holding his Rosary, while Carpenter is on the left, carrying Phoenix's bat.

I was always afraid of walking home everyday
Those creeps would beat me up and take my money away
They make me feel like a loser
No matter what I did
I was just your average fucked up kid
That's why they call me a freak
Yeah I don't wanna be like anybody else
That's why they call me a freak
Yeah I don't wanna be like everybody else
That's why they call me a freak
FREAK!

Carpenter jumps over the flames, holding the bat up to the heavens, taking in the jeers of the crowd.

FREAK!

The 'tron shows Phoenix and Matt Griffen going through the mat at MegaBowl V.

FREAK!

The 'tron shows Phoenix stretching out Tobias Burden with The Rings.

FREAK!

The 'tron shows Carpenter punching out Celine Dion.

(There is nothing worse than the sound)
(Of the tears of a clown)
(When there is no one around)

The 'tron shows Phoenix and Carpenter on the stage at MegaBowl V holding the TKOW Title.

That's why they call me a freak
Cuz i don't wanna be like anybody else
That's why they call me a freak

I'm all alone in a crowd
I want to shout it out loud
The voices inside my head
Don't hear a thing that you said
They tell me where you can go
I think you already know
That you're the one who is weak
That's why they call me a freak
(FREAK!) Yeah I don't wanna be like anybody else
That's why they call me a freak
(FREAK!) Yeah I don't wanna be like everybody else
That's why they call me a freak
(FREAK!) Yeah I don't wanna be like anybody else
That's why they call me a freak
(FREAK!) Yeah i don't wanna be like everybody else
That's why they call me a freak
(FREAK!) That's why they call me a freak
(FREAK!) That's why they call me a freak
(FREAK!) That's why they call me a freak
(FREAK!) That's why they call me a freak

Mike directs security up the stage. The Metatron takes a mic from the throne;

The Metatron: No my brothers and sisters, I must ask that you stand your ground, while I read to you the latest declaration from our Lord Phoenix.

T.H. Power: Don't get cute with me Roberts. I am not in the mood for you to start preaching.

The Metatron: Oh I am afraid my voice must be heard. Heretics like yourself must understand that He is no longer tolerant of your actions against His kin.

T.H. Power: What are you talking about Kent.

The Metatron: Our Lord hath written; "On this day, the first of October, I, Quinn Collins, am hereby taking the responsibility for my brother, Murphy Collins' wellbeing, health, and mental state. He is released from the care of the Happy Thoughts Psychiatric Ward and the state." What this means, dear sir, is that you no longer have any reason or any power to hunt down this poor young man. You will cease and desist all attempts to remand him into custody immediately. So sayeth the Lord.

T.H. Power: Bullshit. Phoenix would never do that.

The Metatron: You have not been paying attention to our Lord's evolution, have you. He would, he could, he did. As of now, Deacon Carpenter is no longer your concern. Except in a pure wrestling capacity.

Tito: Did he just say what I think he said?

Johnny: Carpenter's a free man, with only Phoenix to keep him in check!

Tito: And from what we saw at MegaBowl V, Phoenix has no interest in keeping Carpenter 'in check'.

Johnny: He's interested Tito, he just, can't. Something's come over the galoot.

T.H. Power: Wrestling capicity works fine for me. Let's see what he thinks of going at it with Bob Lancelot.

The crowd cheers and Carpenter's head tilts.

T.H. Power: With the Television title on the line.

The crowd cheers louder.

T.H. Power: Best of three series, straight through Holiday Hell. First person to gain two falls over his opponent over the next three Mass Khaos' goes into Holiday Hell the TV Champion.

Carpenter motions and The Metatron hands him the mic.

Carpenter: Are you really going to let that punk choose his own style of match?

T.H. Power: This is my company Carpenter. I make the decisions around here, not the people that work for me. Straight matches all the way unless I get bored.

Carpenter: Lovely. We'll see you boys, later. Ta ta.

The throne begins to lower as Carpenter leaps back over the flames.

Tito: Bob Lancelot, Carpenter, five matches to determine the TV Champion? My god this is going to get ugly FAST.

Johnny: Bob doesn't stand a chance Tito. Carpenter nearly killed him to take that title, and didn't participate when he lost it. The only real question now is, does Carpenter want the belt back.

[TKOW Board]

Tito: Johnny I'm getting news that John Alamy and a camera man are waiting backstage to try to get a word with Aello. Let?s see what?s up.

The KhaoTron shows a view just outside the Section 8 dressing rooms. On either side of the door is the masked Bodyguard, a second bodyguard. Backstage reporter John Alamy stands between them, his hand raised to knock on the door. Several protesting muffled male voices are heard. A female quietly replies, followed with Lady Hawke?s familiar whistles. Alamy knocks loudly on the door.

Griffen opens it and looks out at Alamy. From behind the door Dr. Cliff Hawke is speaking.

Cliff: -don?t like you doing it. You?re not 100% back yet.

Matt: Hello, John. Something I can do for you?

Aello: Do I have to be 100% to wrestle? No? Didn?t think so. You told me I needed therapy and exercise and that would help.

John: Well, I was hoping to talk to Aello.

Cliff: I didn?t mean jump right back into the ring!

Matt: Well, it?s not exactly a good time at the moment. Maybe later.

Aello: Then what, Cliff? Piddle around? I don?t have the time and you know it. If you?re going to declare me unfit to wrestle, you better have a damn good reason? and you know you don?t have one yet. Now leave me alone. I?m going out there.

Alamy nods and backs away as Griffen moves to allow Dr. Hawke past then closes the door.

Bodyguard: *to Hawke* Still being stubborn, I see.

Cliff: About as stubborn as they come.

Dr. Hawke turns and walks away.

Bodyguard: A pair of peas in a pod. What have I let myself in for?

John Alamy: Would you care to explain that remark?

The Bodyguard folds his arms and leans against the doorjamb.

Bodyguard: Nope?

The scene fades to a sidescreen as the focus returns to Tito and Johnny.

Tito: We're going to kick things off with a THRILLING matchup Johnny.

Johnny: You're telling me? This is a match that screams Pay Per View, but these lucky people are seeing it for free, right here on Mass Khaos.

Tito: Both of these competitors fell victim to the brutal combination of Phoenix and his brother Carpenter at MegaBowl V.

Johnny: But both made a tremendous impact on the champion, and are each being hailed as serious contenders for his crown. This battle may be step one on the road to a title opportunity at Holiday Hell.

Yuri Testkov: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL.

The lights go down with smoke filling the stage as the opening chords of "Have A Nice Day" by Bon Jovi inundate the arena. A back light suddenly illuminates through the smoke revealing a large muscular male form. The lights gradually rise and Matt Griffen strides out into view.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM BOWLING GREEN KENTUCKY, STANDING 6 FEET 8 INCHES AND WEIGHING 325 POUNDS, ONE THIRD OF THE BIRDS OF PREY, MATT, GRRRRRRIIFFENNNN~!

He looks out at the audience, acknowledges the fans along the ramp with a nod of his head and a large grin. He makes his way to the ring accompanied by Lady Hawke.

The stage light up orange as the opening chords of Flaw?s ?Final Cry? blast over the speakers, Tobias enters onto the stage causing the fans to explode, the Impulse stands right at the top of the ramp and lowers himself a bit as the music begins to skip.

On the tron the image cuts to Tobias caught in the Rings, his face dripping with blood

Thi-this- this is -

*Tobias? face contorts into a mask of agony and he opens his mouth to scream in pain*

THIS IS OUR FINAL CRY!!

BOOM~!!!

The stage explodes in a shower of sparks as Tobias spreads his arms wide and screams as loud as he can, the crowd roars back in response!

Forging a difference
We summon existance
This distance is not what it seems

Images flash across the screen of Tobias? body flying through the air with a poetic tope, topping off with the one he performed against Salazar with a flaming baseball bat in hand.

Painstaking process
It pulls at our instincts
We're living outside of our means

More images of him hitting various suplexes on a multitude of stars, including Ghalleon, Kid Styles and Lady Hawke

So long, I've hoped
To be strong
Down-sloped

Images of Tobias holding various submissions, including a Boston Crab on Phoenix, a Sharpshooter on Pender and the Blood Riot on Salazar

And the damage will commence
The beginning of the end
And the damage will commence

Tobias makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with various fans and even hugging some fangirls.

Yuri Testkov: AND HIS OPPONENT, WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED FORTY FIVE POUNDS, FROM LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA, TOBIAS BUUUUURRRRDEEEEEENNN!!!

The screen transitions various shots of Tobias bloodied but still using various weapons, chairshots on Sal and Phoenix, baseball batting Crim, and culminating with him spitting fire into Salazar?s face.

All these occurances bring me to life
All that I've sacrificed makes it seem right
Don't underestimate how hard I'll try

Images begin scrolling through him hitting various finishing moves, hitting the Cross Special Brainbuster off the apron on Salazar, nailing Aaron Mc and Phoenix with the Fading Mage and culminating with Tobias jumping off a twenty foot ladder with Jason Taylor on his shoulders and literally putting him THROUGH the mat with the Rubix Cube.

Burden hops up on the apron and turns to the crowd, raising his palms up in the universal gesture of ?Give it to me? and the crowd roars even moreso in response, he pound his hands over his heart and turns back to climb in between the ropes.

This is our final cry!

The image cuts back to Tobias? bloody face slipping into unconsciousness after screaming.

Tobias stands dead center of the ring as sparks begin to fall from the ceiling.

THIS IS OUR FINAL CRY~!!!

BOOM~!!!

Orange fireworks explode from all four posts as Tobias raises his arms once more, and the crowd showers the ring in orange streamers, as soon as the last one is thrown he retreats to his corner to await the opening bell.

Tito: The referee calls for the bell and this bout is starting!

Griffen and Burden circle each other and lock up in a referee?s hold. They tussle back and forth with each other and Griffen pushes Burden back into the ropes. Matt holds Tobias over the top rope, but Burden flips Griffen around and holds him over the top rope!

Tito: These two are like schoolboys fighting on the playground!

The two men continue doing this back and forth until they move into the corner with Griffen having his back to the turnbuckle. Burden holds Griffen in the corner but the referee tells Tobias to let Matt out, which he does.

Johnny: Good sportsmanship shown by Burden.

Burden steps back a few paces, and a disgruntled looking Matt Griffen also steps out of the corner and the two men lock up again this time Griffen puts a wrist lock on Burden and yanks at his arm behind his back! Burden grimaces in pain as Griffen applies more pressure to the hold but Burden sends a kick backwards into Griffen?s mid section and rolls forward and out of the hold.

Tito: Burden showing how experienced he is in the ring by breaking that hold!

Tobias shakes his head at Matt and then runs at him, whipping him off the ropes and back into a spine buster! Burden drops a knee on the face of Griffen and then puts him in a kneeling armbar.

Johnny: Both men are trying to wear away at each others arms.

Tito: Well if they can?t use their arms then they can?t get any offensive in!

Burden tightens the hold as Griffen starts to stomp his heel on the matt to help alleviate the pain and get some momentum from the crowd, which he does as the crowd start to clap in time with the stomps as Griffen starts to shuffle on his ass towards the rope ? he manages to get his foot on the bottom rope and Burden breaks the hold on the 3 count.

Johnny: Smart move by Burden keeping the hold locked in for as long as possible.

Griffen slips underneath the bottom rope and shakes off his arm on the outside of the ring as the referee starts to count.

1?..

2?..

3?..

4?..

Griffen paces around the outside of the ring

5?..

6?..

7??

Matt steps back onto the turnbuckle and through the middle ropes.

The two men tease a strength test but then lock up in a collar and elbow, they push back and forth and Burden gets the upper hand and lifts Matt up in a stalling suplex! Tobias then covers Matt.

1?..

2?..

Kick out!

Matt gets to his feet quickly but Burden knocks him down, Griffen again gets to his feet, but Burden knocks him down once more ? Griffen gets to his feet a third time ? but ducks Burden?s clothesline and comes off the ropes with a powerful spiked running DDT on Tobias!

Tobias stalls on his neck before crumpling to the mat!

Johnny: Holy shit! Last time I saw something so sick was when Hayabusa broke his freakin? neck!

Matt Griffen covers Burden.

1???..

2???????

3????.

Kick out!!

Johnny: How the hell!

Tito: Burden is one tough S.O.B!

Griffen looks shocked as Burden pulls himself up to his feet using the ropes but runs at him with a clothesline which sends both men over the top rope and to the outside! Griffen lands very hard on the outside, smashing his face against the ring apron.

The crowd start a ?You Fucked Up? chant as the referee starts the countout?..

Both men start to get to their feet

6??

7??.

Griffen rolls into the ring

The referee looks at both men, who look exhausted and begins the 10 count as they both lay on the mat ? Griffen?s nose is bleeding from the botched clothesline earlier.

1??.

2??

3?..

4??

5??

6??

7??..

Burden gets to his feet

8??..

Griffen gets to his feet.

A deep growling laughter leaves the speakers as the stage explodes with pyro and the arena falls to black. Lacuna Coil's "Swamped" begins to play, more laughter coming over the initial words...

When the lights come back up, Phoenix is standing in the middle of the ring, between both competitors, and Carpenter is lounging across the corner ropes (a la Shawn Michaels).

Tito: Oh

Johnny: Crap.

Phoenix hasn't moved, barely even breathing, apparantly staring out into the crowd, his hoodie covering most of his upper face. Matt and Tobias, each on one side of him, are both unsure of what's going on, but Matt's emotions take over, and he attacks Phoenix!

Tito: It's starting right here! Right now!!

Johnny: Matt's not waiting around for answers, he's going right after his former friend!

Carpenter yells to Phoenix to attack, and Phoenix sidesteps Matt's attack. Matt isn't fooled, and backswings, but Phoenix dodges again, refusing to throw any attacks at Matt. Carpenter continues to yell at Phoenix, trying to force him into a physical confrontation.

Tito: Matt's putting the pressure on, but Phoenix is avoiding him like the black plague.

Johnny: You don't screw with the man that taught you.

Matt fakes a kick to Phoenix's knee and cracks him with a hard right, causing the crowd to scream out!

Johnny: I take it back.

Matt keeps up the pressure, but Phoenix absorbs hit after hit. The champion finally ducks a wild shot and hauls Matt up onto his shoulders!

Johnny: He's gonna drive him right to hell Tito.

Tito: Not if Tobias has anything to say about it!

Burden's finally had enough and dropkicks Phoenix in the chest, staggering the champion. Matt fights off of Phoenix's shoulders and both men attack, clubbing Phoenix down to one knee! Carpenter drops off the ropes and throws his hands up in annoyance, and advances on the mugging...

Tito: Not the light thing again!!

Johnny: This happened a lot right before MegaBowl. I was hoping that Power would have the damn switch guarded after that.

The lights come back on. Phoenix and Carpenter are on the ramp. Matt is laid out. And Tobias is holding Phoenix's bat!

Johnny: Changed man my ass!

Tito: He looks as shocked as the rest of us!

Carpenter's laughter can be heard from the ramp as Tobias mouths "What the FUCK?!" in the ring. Looking at the brothers, he scowls and throws the bat at Carpenter, but Phoenix deftly plucks it out of middair. After checking on Matt, the ref calls for the bell and goes to tell Yuri the decision.

Yuri Testkov: YOUR WINNER, AS THE RESULT OF A DISQUALIFICATION, MATT, GRRRIIFFFFFFEENNNNNN~!

Tobias yells and gets up in the refs face, complaining about the decision.

Tito: So was it Tobias or was it Carpenter, just framing Tobias.

Johnny: I'm sure Tobias wants us to think it was Carpenter, but I don't think Tobias' "new lifestyle" is as changed as he wants us to believe.

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Faint thunder rumbles through the arena as the lights go down to a dark dim red glow over the entire arena. Smoke rolls out onto the stage and pours down the ramp while the thunder increases in sound. The crowd breaks into a quite murmur. Smoke swirls low on the stage, apparently whipped about by a wind. There is a sudden blast of an immense thunderclap and strobe spotlights kick on, revealing a black-winged Aello?her outfit the same, only what was once bright white has turned pitch black. She descends from above the stage, her wings slightly beating in a vertical descent as ?Land of Confusion? by Disturbed blares into play and the lights begin to slowly rise.

Johnny: What the hell?!

The smoke beneath Aello rolls away from her just before and as she lands. There is a huge flash of bright lightning, knocking out the lights for a moment, after which Aello stands on the stage wingless to a cheering crowd.

Tito: That?s? Aello? She looks good in black!

Aello acknowledges the fans with a nod of her head and walks toward the ramp. She motions for a mic and someone below tosses her one up. She taps on it to see if it works. The taps faintly echo through the arena. She smiles and raises it to speak.

Aello: I guess this thing works, huh?

The crowd pops for her and she looks the arena over, afterwards losing her smile and sighing. When she speaks, her voice is quiet yet determined and reaches into the farthest corner of the arena as the audience listens.

Aello: MegaBowl. It changed everyone involved in some manner. As most of you may know, I didn?t leave Caesars Palace under my own will, nor with those I should have. It was all thanks to *spitting out the name* Carpenter-

The arena breaks into louds boos and jeers.

Aello: -and another. He thinks that by taking Phoenix from Section 8 that he has all of us where he wants us. Well?

She turns and takes a few steps along the stage in the direction of the announce table.

Aello: *with more force* He can think again. I didn?t fight him all through Caesars Palace for nothing. I refuse to bow before his new ?god.?

Some in the crowd make lewd remarks about her former relationship with Phoenix. Seeing one close by the ramp, Aello strides down the ramp toward the person as The Bodyguard emerges next to the ramp.

Aello: You can mock. You can jeer. But? I know the person sitting on that throne earlier tonight is not my Phoenix. He?s not the Phoenix that has had TKOW on its ear since he arrived. Because of that?

She falters in her speech but takes a deep breath and continues, looking directly into the jeering fan?s face.

Aello: I will oppose Him. I will oppose Carpenter and I will oppose the puppet who deigns to speak for Him and anyone who follows Him.

She turns and walks a few steps up the ramp, her head bowed slightly. She raises the mic to her face again.

Aello: *quietly* Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned.

She turns back to the arena. Her silver eyes burn and contrast brightly against the black-feathered mask.

Aello: If that?s the case, then what kind of fury do you think will be that of a Harpy scorned?

She throws the mic below at the Bodyguard and walks on up the ramp and backstage as he misses the catch and the discordant crash inundates the arena.

Tito: I think Aello is pissed off.

Johnny: Beats being pissed on.

Tito: Mind the big rocks!

Johnny: What?

Tito: Never mind. We're going to have a tag team match next. That should be fun.

Johnny: The only tag team I enjoy is two blondes tag teaming my schl-

Tito: Johnny!!

The techno beat of 'Ecco 2: The Tides of Time Fury of Medusa OC ReMix' starts to play as the lights dim down slightly. Spot lights at the entrance way and in the rafters start to move around the arena as they change colors. Then at about :30 in the song, Pender, Lisa and Johann start to make their way out.

Johann: Let me be the first to introduce to you, the new force in TKOW, The Southgate Foundation!

Crim and Saphron come out wearing their Silver coats with their color (Red for Crim and Blue for Saphron). Lisa sticks with Crim as Johann and Pender follow behind the group.

Yuri Testkov: INTRODUCING FIRST, AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT POUNDS, HAILING FROM TORONTO, CANADA, REPRESENTING THE SOUTHGATE FOUNDATION, CRIM, SAPHRON, THEY ARE, OUTER, FORCE~!!

The group enters the ring and the spotlights start to move about the ring as Outer Force gets ready.

Tito: Been a while since we seen Outer Force...

Johnny: Probably for a reason. By god this match'll be ugly. OF'll have way too much ring rust, AND they're facing chicks. We all know chicks can't put up a decent fight.

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 the Bodyguard is on stage. He slowly and determinedly walks toward the ramp. From behind him, Lady Hawke and Aello appear, running toward him.

Yuri Testkov: THEIR OPPONENTS, ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE MASKED BODYGUARD, 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 the Bodyguards 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. The Bodyguard drops to a knee.

As Hawke leaps onto the Bodyguards 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. The Bodyguard drops back to his knee. Aello immediately follows, almost identically, except she steps from the Bodyguards 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.

Tito: There have been reports that T.H. Power has split Matt off from the Birds of Prey, thanks to Phoenix's betrayal of the group.

Johnny: Matt's too good for that second rate squad of losers. He'll do far better off on his own then he did tied down to these chumpettes.

Both teams retreat to their corner and decide who will start the match; the results are Lady Hawke for the Birds of Prey and Saphron from Outer Force. Aello and Crim both stand at their respective corners and cheer on their teammates respectively.

Both opponents lock-up center ring, with Lady Hawke going behind then ducking low and sweeping Saphron's legs out from under him to land on his stomach, LH jumps over his body to cinch in a headlock.

Tito: Care to repeat that Johnny?

Johnny: Oh come on, they're throwing around rest holds, big whoop... besides, Saphron may be a little rusty. He knows more than enough to deal with Matt Griffen's broad.

Saphron struggles momentarily to power his way out of the headlock but yields no success. Instead he opts to roll sideway to land Hawke in a pinning predicament...

1...

kickout!

Lady Hawke rolls back into a seated position then climbs to her feet, pulling Saphron up with her. Saphron throws a few forearms into her back causing her to loosen and eventually break the headlock. He takes off to the ropes but on his way back is met with a dropkick. Hawke regains her feet quicker than Saphron, who also tries to rise, and catches him in another headlock.

Johnny: It's a rest hold and she isn't even applying it properly.

Tito: Then why can't Saphron escape it?

She drags Saphron over to her corner and Aello makes the blind tag!

Indeed Aello climbs between the ropes and delivers a shot to Saphron's ribs while Hawke climbs out, then locks in... another headlock!

Johnny: Oh for fuck's sake!

Saphron backs her to the ropes and shoots her off. He goes for a clothesline, but she hooks the arm and jumps up, scissoring her head on the rotation turning it from a crucifix hold into a headscissors takeover! Saphron flies into his corner stunned and Crim tags himself in!

Johnny: Finally, Saphron disappointed me worse than I thought he would, now let's see a person who actually knows what they're doing beat up one of these dumb bi-

Tito: Johnny, the feminist movement is waiting outside tonight, do you really want to finish that statement?

Johnny: Want to? Yes. Will I? No... I suppose not.

Crim goes to tie up with the Winged Maiden when she throws a blow to his stomach and then...


.... A HEADLOCK!

Johnny: FUUUUUUUCKKKKK!!!

Crim doesn't waste any energy or time trying to shove Aello off. Instead he backs up to the ropes and back body drops her right to the outside. Her face catches the outside apron on the way down and she crumples to the outside mats.

Tito: ... Ouch.

Johnny: HA! That's the way to counter a headlock!

Crim climbs to the outside apron and turns around looking to moonsault but doesn't get the chance as Lady Hawke springs off the ropes in her corner to missile dropkick Crim right in the face! His body takes the Nestea plunge right off the apron to the mats, right beside Aello.

Lady Hawke stands on the outside apron when Saphron makes his way into the ring and charges at her and hits the hand-spring (A la Tajiri). His feet catch her face instead of the ropes and sends her careening outside, straight into a mildly recovered Crim and Aello, sending all three careening into the crowd barricade.

Johnny: Now we're getting somewhere!

Saphron gets to his feet and stares with wild eyes at the crowd before pointing to the carnage outside, getting a small pop before he takes off and hits the ropes, comes back and...

Tito: SUICIDE DIVE to the outside taking down everyone!

Saphron regains his feet quickly and helps his brother to his feet and slides him inside the ring, then grabs Aello and slides her into the ring right behind him. He then turns to Hawke and gives her a forearm to the ribs and Irish whips her into the ring post before heading back to his own corner.

Tito: Dirty pool...

Johnny: Intelligent pool, I'd say.

Meanwhile inside the ring Crim pulls Aello to her feet and DDT's her back to the mat, he climbs to his feet and grabs her legs to drag her to his own corner and tag in Saphron, as Crim holds he legs down the other Southgate brother hops to the top rope and hits a corkscrew moonsault onto the Winged Maiden.

1...

2...

3..

NO!

Saphron holds his head in disbelief while the ref forces his brother to the outside. After a few moments of disbelief and attempting to argue the point with the ref he drags himself and Aello to their feet, this time HE locks in a headlock!

Johnny: NO! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!

Aello regains enough sense to punch Saphron forward to the ropes. She goes for a reverse rollup but Saphron grabs the ropes at the last second and she just lands flat back on the ground. Saphron taps his temple then turns to retrieve her when she kips-up and...

Tito: TASER!!

Saphron crumples to the mat as Aello goes for the cover...

1...

2...

3!!

Tito: That's three! Aello pulls off the close win against Outer Force!

Johnny: That one was by milliseconds Tito! Crim was just a heartbeat away from the save, but Aello was on the ball tonight!

Tito: The Southgate Foundation is going to be talking about this one for awhile. Not the way they wanted to start their new direction in TKOW.

Johnny: One day they may figure out how to get one over on the Birds, but not tonight.

**COMMERCIAL**

[TKOW Board]

Johnny: Looks like we're back from the commercials and we're ready for our next match.

"Magic Emperor Ghaleon - Mechanical Castle" by Noriyuki Iwadare starts to play. The crowd starts with a mixed reaction. Mainly due to the massive battle he and Soulfly had a few months ago.

The music plays through for the first minute, but nothing happens. The KhaosTron plays, but no smoke or Ghalleon.

Tito: But where's Ghalleon? And who's his opponent?

Then, after another few seconds, Ghalleon comes walking out with one crutch under his right shoulder and with Sammie at his side. He wears a tan colored business suit and a pair of black sunglasses. His hair has been cut and dyed blond. He also has a sword strapped to his pants belt and his knight symbol as a necklace around his neck.

He looks out at the crowd as he slowly makes his way into the ring, thanks to the help of Sammie. Some of the crowd applaud him for his actions at MegaBowl, despite the way he was beforehand. Sammie then gets a mic and hands it to him, as well as a chair. She sets the chair up and Ghalleon takes a seat.

He then looks around at the crowd as the music cuts off. He smiles slightly and thinks back. He then raises the mic and begins to speak.

Ghalleon: I don't deserve this. I've finally found what I was.

Tito: What's he talking about?

Johnny: Well, if you shut your mouth, you would know then!

Ghalleon: Earlier this year, I was locked in one of the toughest battles I've ever fought, against Soulfly. It was all because of my burning desire to take this company and steal away from Phoenix and his group.

The crowd continues the mixed reactions as Ghalleon looks among them.

Ghalleon: Then, I attacked the man that before Phoenix, single handedly dominated TKOW. I never thought that all these months later, I would realize that I had possibly made a fatal error on my part. I can't begin to ask you people to take my apologies. Something inside of me wasn't ticking right, I didn't know what it was until I was laying in that hospital bed for that broken leg.

The mixed reaction dies off somewhat as Ghalleon lowers his head slightly.

Ghalleon: I was deceived by my own lust for power and glory and it possibly cost me my own career. To tell the truth, by the time I found this out, I couldn't take it anymore. It was too late to get out of my match with Soulfly, I didn't want to either. We wanted to practically kill each other, and we damn near did!

The crowd erupts in a cheer, followed by a chant of TKOW! Ghalleon smiles slightly as he raises his head up.

Ghalleon: I was out of FTWO by suspension and now my lust drove me down a one way path to a broken leg! Now, it hasn't healed fully healed correctly. I must have surgery to repair it and I have no idea when I'll step back into this or any wrestling ring.

He pauses for a moment and the smile fades away. He then takes the sunglasses off with his free hand and points to his once former red eye.

Ghalleon: The symbol of what I had done! The lone red eye! I dawned this as a badge of my own personal justice after I fought Karnij back in 2004! Then you took that same badge away from me Soulfly! You took from me what I loved, second only to Sammie! Now look at me, I'm a broken recluse. You couldn't beat me without breaking my leg, one day, I'll prove that right.

The crowd gets worked up in a frenzy as Ghalleon's emotional speech calms down.

Ghalleon: Now, what you have proven to me is that I'm no longer 'Advanced'.

Tito: You mean that Ghalleon's not the Advanced One anymore?

Johnny: Well, if you paid attention, you would've heard him say that!

Ghalleon:Soulfly, you won this battle. I'm broken and beaten down. We made history and we gave what the fans wanted! But you also shown something to me. I'm not the 'Advanced Human' anymore. You've proven something to me that I couldn't even figure out.

The crowd turns back to the mixed reactions as they wait for Ghalleon's comment.

Ghalleon: ....That I'm obsolete. That?s right, I'm not what I once was. Now with my crest and sword with me, I leave these things behind as notice that you ended the Advanced Human.

Ghalleon takes off his crest and his sword and gets back up onto his good foot and the crutch. Sammie takes hold of him and he places the sword and crest on the chair.

Ghalleon: Now I'll retreat and recover. It?s the end of an era, one that was caked in blood and lust for power.

The two head for the ropes as the lights die out and a single spotlight shines down onto the sword and crest. They exit the ring and head to the backstage as the lights come back on.

[TKOW Board]

Yuri Testkov: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IF SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL AND IS FOR THE TKOW TELEVISION TITLE~!

Tito: A few days before the show, TV champ Bob Lancelot issued an open challenge to all the guys in the locker room. Let's see a snippet of that promo.

*Cut to Bob's promo on the Khaostron*

Bob's Promo said:

Bob Lancelot: So this is an open challenge for anyone - McCoy, Styles....Matt Griffen.....Jace Mingla.....Carpenter......I even challenge Phoenix! ANYBODY step into that ring with me, Bob Lancelot - and I guarantee that I will leave the ring standing tall! So come one...come all - try and take this belt from around my waist - because I will not be defeated.....oh one thing - the match will be a match of my choosing.

Johnny: The problem is, T.H. Power doesn't like it when the help try to run things.

T.H. Power's Speech said:

T.H. Power: Wrestling capicity works fine for me. Let's see what he thinks of going at it with Bob Lancelot.

The crowd cheers and Carpenter's head tilts.

T.H. Power: With the Television title on the line.

The crowd cheers louder.

T.H. Power: Best of three series, straight through Holiday Hell. First person to gain two falls over his opponent over the next three Mass Khaos' goes into Holiday Hell the TV Champion.

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 The Metatron leads out Carpenter, wearing his cossack.

The Metatron: Brothers and Sisters, will you please stand and bow your heads in respect. On the path to the house of our Lord, His most devout follower, the man who led Him back from the light, Deacon Carpenter.

Both men move towards the ring, eyes glaring as he looks around. As he gets halfway down the ramp he removes the cossack and hands it to The Metatron, pulls his mask off of his belt, revealing two large brass knucks, and puts the mask over his bandaged face.

Carpenter saunters the rest of the way to the ring, sliding in slowly. He moves to the far corner and sits down on the mat, arms on the ropes. The Metatron takes a seat by Tito and Johnny.

The lights dim in the arena and "Hardcore" by FEEL blasts through the loud speakers. Bob Lancelot walks through the curtain, he is wearing black tights with orange ligthening bolts on them and no shirt, Claire Matthews follows Bob out to the ring, she is wearing one of her promotional "Weapons of Mass Distraction" T-Shirts and a short black skirt.

Yuri Testkov: FROM OXFORD, ENGLAND... WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY POUNDS; THE REIGNING TELEVISION CHAMPION... "THE HARDCORE SUPERSTAR" BOOOOOOOB LAAAAAAAAACEEEEEELOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

Bob slides under the bottom rope and climbs the far right turnbuckle. He then hops of the turnbuckle and awaits his opponent.

Bob: See this Television Championship belt - it means I am better than each and every person in that locker room - I have beaten the best - so I can't wait to prove that I'm better than you!

Bob carelessly throws the mic over his shoulders. It hits Tito on the head.

Tito: *Exclaiming in pain* Asshole!

Johnny: Last time these two met, six people were not enough to take Carpenter down.

Tito: I guess Bob will have to really outdo himself to keep the title in his possession.

Johnny: Let's hope Bob said his prayers and took some steroids.

The ref keeps the two wrestlers in their respective corners and searches them for any foreign objects. The ref removes the brass knuckles off of Carpenter's belt, but he doesn't seem to mind. Carpenter then points directly at Lancelot, before slashing his thumb at his throat, drawing a little bit of blood. He manically laughs afterwards. The camera cuts to a close up on Bob's face. Animosity and a little bit of worry are visible in his eyes. The ref calls for the bell and the match begins.

Tito: Both wrestlers probably have their minds elsewhere other than this match.

Johnny: Yeah, Bob reminisces on how he got his ass kicked by Carpenter, and Carpenter's preoccupied with acquiring movie rights for the "Phoenix Chronicles."

Tito: I guess it's just all down to who utilizes the other's lack of focus to win this one Johnny.

Johnny: I wonder if Pretzel will interfere though.

Tito: Something tells me that after how useless he proved to be last time, I don't think so.

Carpenter and Bob carefully move towards each other. Bob tries a surprise roll to get behind Carpenter, but Carpenter stays alert and blocks him. They attempt to lock up, but a second before they do Bob does a cartwheel and uses the surprise element to get behind Carpenter. Bob takes down Carpenter by the legs and, as soon as Carp hits the ground, Bob quickly applies a side headlock. Carpenter manages to get up and grabs Bob's back attempting a backdrop, but Bob drops behind him and pushes him to the ropes. Carp maintains his balance by grabbing the ropes. Bob runs up to him and hits a European uppercut to the back of his head before giving him a backdrop of his own.

Tito: Bob is on the aggressive here, giving no room for Carpenter to retaliate.

Bob picks up Carpenter for a powerbomb, but Carp slides down Bob's back and locks in the Katahajimi. Bob quickly falls on his back to break the hold. The two men quickly rise to their feet and Bob charges Carpenter. Carp drop toe holds Bob, whose head falls on top of the middle rope. Carp measures up Bob running to the opposite ropes for momentum. Then he does a forward somersault over Bob and to the outside. He grabs Bob's head in mid air and gives him a big neckbreaker before landing squat on his back!

Fans: Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!

Tito: Carp better consider a career as a stuntman because that "glamorous" move has hurt him more then it did Bob. What's the point of that?

Johnny: Tito, just WHERE have you been? This is Carpenter we're talking about. The more pain, the better he likes it.

The camera shows Carpenter laughing while getting up slowly and holding his back in pain. Bob is shown inside the ring holding his neck and aching. Carpenter rolls into the ring and attempts to cover Bob, who surprises him with a roll up!

Carpenter turns the roll so that Bob's shoulders are on the mat.

Bob kicks out.

Carpenter tries to get up but Bob clubbers his back with forearm shots. Bob picks him up and hits a backbreaker. While Carpenter lays down, grabbing his back in pain, Bob gives him a forearm to the back of the head and turns him on his stomach. Bob climbs the top turnbuckle and attempts a splash onto Carpenter's back, but Carp moves out of the way at the last second and Bob hits nothing but canvas.

Tito: Bob should have kept his feet on the ground, because if you don't keep close watch on Carpenter, you're in trouble.

Johnny: Yeah, he might build a table using children's stumps for table legs.

Carpenter gets up and stomps Bob. He then gives him a falling headbutt to the neck area, which makes Bob gasp for air. He coughs some blood and Carpenter smears it on his mask, shaping a bloody smiley. Carpenter quickly locks in a sitting Cobra Clutch. Bob squirms in it for a few seconds, but fortunately manages to get onto his feet. The second he does, however, Carpenter simply gives him a Cobra Clutch suplex. Carpenter goes for the cover.

Bob kicks out at two and a half.

Carpenter continues with the offence by locking in an STF. Bob fights like he is holding on to dear life while doing the best he can to reach the bottom rope. Carpenter reflects on this by repeatedly headbutting Bob while still in the hold. Unfortunately for him, Bob manages to reach the ropes and the ref forces Carpenter to break the hold... but Carp holds on right up until the 5 count. The ref breaks apart the two and checks Bob's condition. Carpenter pushes away the ref and goes to pick up Bob. Bob elbows Carpenter in the stomach a few times which causes Carp to flinch. Carp then charges Bob, who catches him in a fireman's carry and sends him with one arm to the outside. Carpenter lands on the other side of the apron and knees Bob in the gut. He then grabs him and picks him up for a suplex to the outside, but Bob grabs the bottom ropes with his feet and jams the move. Bob then reverses the suplex and suplexes Carpenter back into the ring. He goes for the cover.

2?

Carpenter kicks out.

Tito: Bob is going to need a lot more than that in order to put down Carpenter.

Johnny: Hey look, Tito, Carpenter is laughing at Bob's pitiful pin attempt.

Bob coughs a little before locking Carpenter in a Mexican Surfboard. Carpenter shakes his head in pain as his aching back gets stretched to all directions. Bob can't get Carp to tap so he releases the hold. Bob picks Carpenter up and whips him into one of the corners. Bob charges him, but Carpenter rolls away at the last second, but Bob manages to stop himself before hitting the turnbuckle chest first. Carpenter sends Bob a high kick, but Bob blocks it with his forearm. Bob uses the same arm for a backhand blow, which Carpenter swiftly evades it. Carp then hits Bob with a jumping kick that stuns him momentarily, which gives him enough time to position himself for a monkey flip. Bob lands on his feet though, and sends a high back kick at Carpenter's direction. Carpenter catches Bob's leg with both hands and goes for an ankle lock, but Bob quickly turns around and hits Carp with an Enziguri. While all this happens, Claire is quickly untying the top turnbuckle pad, unseen by the ref. Bob goes for a clothesline, but Carpenter sidesteps it, grabbing Bob's arm in the process. Carpenters traps Bob's arm between his arm and the top rope, and elbows Bob with his other arm. Bob however arches his back backwards to avoid the blow (Ala Trish's matrix move but only with one arm) and uses his free arm to clip Carpenter's knee. Carpenter lets go of Bob's other arm and falls to one leg. Bob uses his now unoccupied arm to pull himself up and afterwards he jumps on the second rope and hits Carpenter with a volley shining wizard. Bob coughs a little and holds the knee that hit Carpenter's mask. Bob picks up Carpenter and puts him in the corner and goes for a chop, but Carpenter ducks and Bob's hand hits the exposed turnbuckle.

Tito: Bob didn't see Claire taking off the turnbuckle padding.

Johnny: Well now he knows.

Bob cries out in pain while holding his soon to be swollen hand. Carpenter uses this distraction to switch places with Bob. Carpenter then goes on a flurry of chops. Around the fifteenth chop, Bob grabs Carpenter's arm with his own, entrapping it in his armpit. With the other arm Bob grabs the back of Carpenter's head and tries to smash it onto the exposed turnbuckle. The two men struggle for supremacy as Claire notices that her man is in a tight spot. Claire hops onto the apron and in perfect timing exposes the lucky ref to her Weapons of Mass Distraction, just as Bob in an act of desperation kicks Carpenter in the crotch.

Tito: Claire just saved her man from getting himself disqualified. She's pretty clever.

Johnny: Now if Claire would just direct all her boob exposing energy to titty fuck energy and at my direction, we'd all be very happy campers.

Tito: How is that going to make me happy?

Johnny: Well it'll be better than watching dogs have sex like you do after the shows, Tito.

Bob finally manages to smash Carp's head into the turnbuckle. A loud metallic "CLANG" is heard on impact. Carpenter falls on his behind from the recoil and seems dozy. Bob picks him up and lifts him onto the top turnbuckle. Bob then gives him a superplex. Both men hit the mat hard, and Bob arches his back in pain. Carpenter shows no response. Bob crawls over to Carpenter and puts one arm over him.

3-

Carpenter kicks out!

Tito: What a near fall there! I really thought he had him for a second there.

Johnny: Then that makes you more stupid than I thought; These men put each other through hell in that TLC match, do you think a little superplex is going to stop either of them?

The crowd explodes as Bob looks on in disbelief. He argues with the ref about the count, but to no avail. Bob says some very unkind words about the ref's entire family, before slowly picking himself up. Bob then picks Carpenter up for a stalling suplex and nails it. Bob doesn't let go though, and attempts a second suplex. Carpenter blocks it and counters with a suplex of his own. Then Carpenter also attempts a second suplex, but this time Bob blocks and counters it with a snap suplex. Carpenter giggles the whole time.

Tito: What the heck is he laughing about?

Johnny: He gets a kick out of pain, you know that.

Tito: No no, something is different about this.

A deep growling laughter leaves the speakers as the stage explodes with pyro and the arena falls to black. Lacuna Coil's "Swamped" begins to play, more laughter coming over the initial words...

{Cristina Scabbia}
When you're taught through feelings
When you're taught through feelings
When you're taught through feelings
When you're taught through feelings
Or love

Johnny: That would explain it.

Phoenix is standing behind Bob, a steel chair in hand that already has Bob's name written on it! Bob, backing up from Carpenter, bumps into Phoenix!

Tito: That's like the trophy chairs in the Pit!

Phoenix drops the chair as Bob reaches up over his head, eyes widening as he feels the cloth of the hoodie!

Johnny: it was nice knowing Bob.

Phoenix grabs Bob and lifts him up into a back suplex! Bob's legs flail in the air as Carpenter shifts the chair a few inches, and Phoenix drops Bob onto the chair with Hellfire!! The impact bounces Bob off the chair a few inches, and the CLANG is heard throughout the arena!

*DING DING DING DING*

Tito: The referee is calling this one. Phoenix just cost Carpenter the TV title!

Johnny: So why does Carpenter NOT look like he wants to kill his brother?

Carpenter drops to his knees and clasps his hands together, as if he's praying for Bob. The Metatron is on his feet, yelling to the heavens to praise the new spiritual leaders of TKOW.

"Aerodynamic" by Daft Punk plays through the speakers, and Dark Schnitzel runs down the ramp with a 2x4 in hand! He slides into the ring, flying halfway across it, and right into Phoenix's boot. Phoenix continues to kick Schnitzel, keeping him disoriented and on the mat, as Carpenter gets off his knees and joins in the fun.

Tito: I guess Schnitzel and Lancelot are still pals.

Johnny: For all the good it's doing.

Claire slides into the ring and jumps on Carpenter's back, putting on a chokehold to the cheers of the fans!

Johnny: THE WEAPONS ARE ARMED BABY!!

Phoenix shoves Schnitzel away and pulls Claire off of Carpenter by the hair. She screams and flails, turning in his grip and slapping him! Carpenter yells something, and Phoenix picks her up onto his shoulders!!

Tito: He's going to plant Claire!!

Johnny: She should have stayed out of this!

Phoenix takes a slow turn as Carpenter jumps DS again-

*CRRRRAAAAAAAACK*

AND BOB BREAKS THE 2x4 OVER HIS HEAD!!

Tito: Bob just saved Claire from a crushing!

Johnny: Time for Bob to get some!

Claire crawls to the apron from where she fell off of Phoenix's shoulders, as Bob presses the attack on Phoenix. Dark Schnitzel manages to yank Carpenter forward, right into the ringpost, affording him a chance to join Bob. The two pound Phoenix to the ropes, nod to each other, and send him across the ring. Phoenix hits the ropes but backflips over, landed on his feet and staggering into The Metatron.

Tito: The Devine Comedy standing tall in the ring, and the Church is on the outside convening over the turn of events!

Johnny: I'm guessing the Church planned to put a beating to Bob, in order to make the next two matches cakewalks. But Dark Schnitzel's return totally screwed that up.

Carpenter's head movements indicate a fierce talk with Phoenix, but finally they take a step towards the ring-

SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT EMOOOOOOOOOTION...

The "8" logo bounces around the KhaosTron, jumping around the HPWA logo as T.H. Power emerges from the backstage area to "Sweet Emotion".

You talk about things that nobody cares
Youre wearing out things that nobody wears
Youre calling my name but you gotta make clear
I cant say baby where Ill be in a year

The music fades as T.H. raises one hand.

T.H. Power: You're screwing with my show, and I do not take kindly to anyone screwing with MY SHOW. This isn't over, you hear me? You boys want to fight no bad? This match is now a tag team contest! Devine Comedy against the Church of Pain and Suffering. Ring that bell!

[TKOW Board]

Dark Schnitzel and Bob Lancelot confer in their corner as Carpenter speaks to Phoenix. Bob heads cockily to the center of the ring as Carpenter steps out onto the apron. The arena explodes as the TKOW ?Fiery? champ and TV title holder face off. Bob looks a little uncertain at first, but then grins and circles Phoenix, who turns to watch him.

Tito: Champ versus champ to start us off tonight!

Johnny: I think we all know how this is going to end, now don?t we?

Carpenter yells out an order at his brother as Lancelot goes for a quick armbar, but Phoenix turns and powers out of it. He takes advantage and downs his opponent with the X DDT.

Tito: What are you talking about?

Johnny: Bob spouted off about how bad he is and Carpenter has decided to put him in his place and take the title out of his hands. That?s what I?m talking about!

Bob quickly scrambles to his feet. Phoenix attempts a running yakuza kick, but Bob dodges and nails Phoenix with a headbutt to the family jewels in the process. The entire arena groans.

Tito: Lancelot going for the dirty tricks early on!

Johnny: What are you talking about? That was an accident. If he hadn?t dodged, he?d have been kicked!

The ref pulls Bob away to admonish him as Phoenix drops to his knees. Carpenter climbs into the ring, heading for Bob, and Dark Schnitzel leaps over and heads to block Carpenter. Carpenter shoves the ref and throws a punch at Bob that is caught and returned by Schnitzel. Bob ducks and runs at Phoenix, nailing him with a hurricanrana as the bigger man is getting to his feet. Both end up under the ropes on the apron. Meanwhile the ref is ordering Carpenter and Schnitzel out of the ring while trying to separate them as Schnitzel goes at the former TV title champ with a fury of punches.

Tito: Is the ref going to have to call DQ already? Schnitzel and Carpenter aren?t listening!

Phoenix rolls off the apron onto his feet facing the front row. Bob stands and leaps off with a diving DDT, taking him and Phoenix to the barrier. Back in the ring, Carpenter headbutts Dark Schnitzel and then hits a quick dropkick, driving him back into the ropes. Carpenter jumps up and catches Schnitzel on the rebound and whips him into the opposite ropes and runs after him, spearing him, nearly driving him through them. The ref throws his hands up, yelling at the two, threatening to call the match.

Schnitzel grabs Carpenter up and chokeslams him over the ropes onto the floor! The crowd pops wildly! Schnitzel looks at the ref, then steps out onto the apron and promptly steps off, nailing Carpenter with a legdrop.

Johnny: Schnitzel was listening. He kindly helped Carpenter out of the ring.

The ref follows and sees Phoenix and Lancelot exchanging blows near the barrier in the first few rows and starts a 10 count.

1?

Phoenix hits Bob with the PX Stunner only to be German suplexed by Dark Schnitzel!

2?

Tito: I think this has turned into a free-for-all instead of a tag match!

Johnny: Ya think?

Schnitzel gets to his feet and is immediately taken down by Phoenix, who rolls on out after the suplex, jumps to his feet, and nails Dark Schnitzel with a tilt-a-whirl sideslam.

3?

Phoenix stands, only to be taken over by the Swinging Bells by Lancelot who had leaped from the barricade! Carpenter finally joins in the fray, getting Schnitzel into an inverted surfboard hold.

4?

Bob drags Phoenix over to the apron and rolls him in breaking the count then pulls him out and hits several European uppercuts followed by whipping Phoenix into Carpenter and Schnitzel, breaking the hold. Phoenix shakes his head to clear it, leaps up onto the barricade and looks to fistdrop Schnitzel only to nail Carpenter as Schnitzel rolls away!

Tito: Dark Schnitzel got one over on Phoenix and Carpenter!

Carpenter yells at Phoenix, pushing him off. Schnitzel motions Bob to get in the ring and he remains to block Phoenix?s path. Phoenix and Schnitzel stare one another down as Bob moves around the apron to get in on the far side. Carpenter screams at Phoenix to get Bob or get in the ring. Phoenix steps back and raises his hands as if to give in, only to hit Schnitzel with a scoop slam piledriver. Phoenix climbs on the apron and into the ring, heading for the opposite side after Bob, who is standing at the barricade, distracted by a gorgeous redhead in the front row. The female has her hands on the hem of her skin-tight t-shirt, pulling it up.

Tito: Bob?s getting distracted by someone using Claire?s technique!

The woman gets the hem just below her breasts. Bob is nearly drooling in anticipation, reaching out to touch when the woman unexpectedly NAILS him with a spinning backfist right into the waiting Phoenix, who has just slipped out on that side and devastates Bob with a Rising Flames to the floor.

Tito: Bob fell for it and damn... can she hit! Why'd she hit Lancelot?!

Carpenter runs around the ring on the stage side as Dark Schnitzel hotfoots it around the other. Phoenix glances up at the female, who quickly flashes him and blows him a kiss, then returns to her seat.

Johnny: Hot damn! Did ya see that rack?!?!

Tito: No, I didn?t. Carpenter got in the way!

Johnny: Not like you?d be interested anyway.

Tito: ?

Phoenix pulls Bob up and rolls him into the ring, following him. The ref hurries to get in as well and misses the low blow Bob gives Phoenix. Schnitzel and Carpenter return to their corners. Phoenix roars and grabs Bob up into a front bear-hug slam and walks over to his corner and tags in Carpenter.

Tito: The first tag? it took them long enough!

Carpenter hops up on the turnbuckle and dives off with a moonsault, only to partially hit Bob, who had started to roll away. Bob spins and kicks at Carpenter?s head a few times. Carpenter grabs his foot and twists and he tries to get up. Bob rolls to keep up with the twisting and kicks with his other foot as well.

Tito: Is Carpenter trying to get in an ankle lock or something?

Johnny: Something, I?d wager. He?s trying to give Bob some pain.

Bob finally kicks free of Carpenter and gets to his feet, pulling Carpenter up and over with a Russian leg sweep. Bob slams Carpenter?s head into the mat several times, jumps to his feet and springboards off the second rope connecting with a splash. He goes for the pin!

Kickout!

Bob spits and pulls Carpenter up. Carpenter breaks free and gets Bob with an arm breaker. He pulls Bob up into an airplane spin and tosses him into a turnbuckle, following with a spear, squashing Bob into the corner. Carpenter headbutts Lancelot and whips him hard out of the corner and into the ropes right next to Phoenix who turns at the last second, ?accidentally? elbowing Lancelot in the back of the head as he turns to look into the front row, where the redhead grins and waves at him. Carpenter jerks Bob around and half-nelson suplexes him into the center of the ring and goes for the pin!

No! Shoulder up AND interference by Dark Schnitzel at the last possible moment! The ref orders Schnitzel out.

Tito: That was so close!! Carpenter almost had it won!

Johnny: Close, but no cigar.

Carpenter stands and nails Schnitzel with a spinning clothesline. The ref shoves Carpenter out of the way, forcing him back into his own corner. Dark Schnitzel helps Bob up and they return to their corner with Carpenter darting around the ref. However, he?s too late and grabs Bob, who has just tagged in Schnitzel. Bob hangs onto the ropes and blindly kicks and stomps at Carpenter who only releases him when Dark Schnitzel jerks him off Bob up into a another chokeslam. Schnitzel follows it up with a figure-4 neck lock as Bob slips out onto the apron.

Tito: Wait a minute, is that Tobias?

Burden works his way out of the crowd, jumps the barrier, and pulls Phoenix down off the apron and starts beating on the champion!!

Johnny: Hey Aello is coming down the ramp!

Tito: Look over there! Salazar is in the building!

Salazar jumps the barrier behind Bob and rips him off the apron, bouncing him off the barrier as Aello slides in the ring and starts kicking Carpenter in the ribs!!

The ref sees Aello first, of course, but quickly sees Bob and Phoenix both being attacked. He waves the match off and calls for the bell.

Tito: The referee is throwing the whole match out!

Johnny: Like he has a choice? Dark Schnitzel is the only guy that HASN'T been jumped yet!

Tobias whips Phoenix into the steel steps as Matt Griffen runs down to the ring and targets Burden. He moves around the ring, grabs Tobias by the back of the head and smashes him facefirst into the steel ringpost. Salazar takes a look at the carnage and gets a laugh, but even that's broken up when Soulfly clubs him over the head with a platinum bong!

Dark Schnitzel releases Carpenter and begins to flirt with Aello. Phoenix gets to his feet and is suddenly face to face with Matt! The referee continues to ring the bell as more officials begin to come down to ringside in an attempt to regain control!

Tito: This is definetely Mass Khaos Johnny!

Johnny: At least our table made it in-

*CRRRAAASSSSSSHH*

Both Tito and Johnny are standing up against the barrier as Dark Schnitzel lies in the midst of what was once the announce table. The camera turns to the ring to show Carpenter and Aello side by side, each chuckling as they look down at DS. At once, each stops, heads popping up, and they turn and start to trade blows!!

Both: Yup.
