Victor Cross enters the ring, the crowd anxiously talking with one another, excited for this upcoming tag match. "The following contest is a 6-Man Tag Team Match!"
The lights in the arena dim down as the sound of wind howling fills the arena. In a few moments, the sound of a heavily-synthesized sintar replaces the wind, the crowd now starting to get up on their feet, knowing who this song belongs to. Soon enough, the sintar is replaced by a traditional electric guitar while a bass drum pounds out short, staccato beats in the background to the same rhythm. The music cuts off for half a second, only to be replaced by a yell.
SURVIVAAAAAL!!!
Spotlights now begin to sweep over the arena as the main beat of "10,000 Fists" by Disturbed rocks the arena, a bank of lights turning down to illuminate the ramp and focus on the curtains. As the song hits its first verse, Dar throws open the curtains, the crowd letting out a big cheer as the former world champ stands at the top of the ramp, surveying the crowd with a smirk.
One more god damn day
When I know what I want
And what I want will be considered tonight, ah-ah
Considered tonight, ah-ah
Dar begins to make his way down the ramp, slapping hands with fans along either side of the barricade, then taking a walk around the ring, jawing off with the crowd and continuing to high five the fans and get slaps on the back in return.
Just another day
When I know what I want
Will mark me as a sinner tonight, ah-ah
I'm a sinner tonight, yeah
Finally, after a quick trip around to the opposite side of the ring from the ramp, he hops up onto the apron, quickly stepping through the ropes and turning around to hop back up on them, one foot on the bottom rope with the other on the middle, holding onto the top rope for balance with one hand while raising the other high up in the air. "Now entering the ring...From Honolulu, Hawaii, weighing in at two hundred seventy-five pounds, he is the X Factor...DARSON GRAYS!!!"
People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you, then walk away
You will remember the night
You were struck by the sight of...
TEN THOUSAND FISTS IN THE AIR!!!
As that last yell resounds over the speakers, Dar throws his arms up into an X, silver fireworks exploding out from the turnbuckles and showering down into the ring to another big cheer from the crowd. Once this is done, Dar moves back down into the ring, walking over to his corner and removing his jacket along the way, handing it off to an official and leaning back against the turnbuckles, waiting for his partners as his entrance theme fades out.
The lights now start to flicker along with a pinging noise, then shut off completely as a slow guitar riff fills the arena, punctuated by hard bass drum beats. A woman's voice comes over the speakers, singing softly in a low, melancholy tone.
Sing to me, my muses
Lost in the hot cyclops anarchy
Possession, invention
Blood, blood...
Spirits, spirits...
Spirits, spirits, come, come...
The beat picks up and the woman's voice begins to speed up as well, strobe lights flashing along with the faster drum beats, the woman's words becoming more frantic.
Where will these visions lead?
How far dare I go?
Where will this song take me?...
INTO THE DEEP UNKNOWN!!!
The woman screams out the last line, just a huge explosion of silver sparks pour down from the bottom of the BarTron, showering the top of the ramp and illuminating the area rather brightly. Two figures make their way out through the sparks, one much smaller than the other. The smaller one is in front, a woman, her head tilted down, long black hair flowing over her shoulders, red bangs covering her face. The large, male shape behind her just walks slowly along, the shaved head and huge stature making it quite obvious who it is.
Spirits, spirits, come, COME!
The woman slowly lifts her head up, hair hanging down over her face and obscuring most of it, though everybody here knows who these two people are. The man behind her turns his head back and forth slowly, seeming to be neutrally observing the crowd. Finally, as the first verse of the song hits, the woman throws her arms out in a crucifix pose and tosses her head back, hair flying out of her face as three silver fireworks shoot off from the top of the BarTron, hitting sets abovet the ring and causing showers of sparks to rain down below, some of the crowd noticing Dar knock a few away with his hand before they hit his hair.
All the prophets and the gods came prepared for theirs
So we dined on the vine of the mind impaired
Preaching werewolf prayers on a nightly flight
Gestating all we ate in the pale moonlight
"And his partners...From Seattle, Washington and Buffalo, New York...at a combined weight of five hundred thirty-five pounds...they are JACK FROST and The Prodigy...RIONA LANGLY!!!"
Riona and Frost begin to make their way down the ramp, both ignoring any attempts at high fives or slaps on the back. These two are obviously here to settle a score, unlike Dar, whose vendetta is more sportsmanlike than personal.
Feel the urge of the power surge connect the soul
Bringing kingdoms under siege with the words that I control
Got an arsenal, ganja blunts and such
Only love can set me free from this patriarchal clutch
The pair stop at the bottom of the ramp, Riona looking up into the ring while Frost just seems to look straight ahead in a focused manner. Suddenly, Riona takes a step forward and slides in under the bottom ropes, Frost quickly walking forward to pull himself up onto the apron and step over the top rope, joining Riona in the middle of the ring as she throws her arms out in the crucifix once again, staring out at the crowd.
Speaking testaments in our secret dialogue
While the drones begin to feed on the feces of the hog
Take a walk in the wilderness of your mind
Before your soul decides to die and leave infinity behind
POSSESSION, INVENTION, INVITE DISCOVERY
Surrender to pleasure, LOST IN ECSTACY
Survive - alive, YOU ARE MY ENEMY
You DIED - for LIES, SLAVE TO MISERY
Riona and Frost then turn and make their way over to the corner with Dar, the three of them exchanging nods, all of them having a mutual respect for one another.
*insert Voorhees entrance*
The two teams stand in opposite corners, all six competitors looking ready to go, just waiting for the bell to ring. After a quick check to make sure both teams are ready, Joe Schmoe steps back and calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
The two teams continue to stare each other down, but suddenly, Voorhees' team dash forward a bit, Frost's team quickly getting into defensive positions, but Voorhees' team backs off to their corner, laughing, obviously having just been faking their opponents out. Frost and his team mates look at each other for a moment, then nod, quickly running forward and taking Voorhees' team by surprise, Frost knocking Voorhees down with a charge and forcing him to roll out under the ring while Dar knocks down Shadow and Riona pushes Hika over. Dar picks up Shadow and tosses him out of the ring through the ropes as Riona pulls Hika up to her feet and connects with a few forearms before whipping her across the ring and catching her with a Back Body Drop on the rebound. Frost quickly comes forward to knock her over with a Shoulderblock as she gets up to her feet, Hika quickly turning and trying to find a way to escape from the three-on-one attack, only to see Dar charging at her. She barely manages to roll out of the ring, Dar just missing with a running knee that was aimed right at her face. Voorhees and his team actually seem a little surprised that Frost's team went after Hika so viciously, but Riona reminds them why with a shouted "EYE FOR AN EYE, VOORHEES!" Voorhees' team convenes on the outside for a few moments as Schmoe restores order, sending Frost's team over to their corner. Finally, Shadow rolls back into the ring, Dar staying in to meet his former rival for the first time since Civil War. However, after a few moments of circling, Voorhees tags in as Shadow passes their corner, getting into the ring as the crowd lets out a big cheer, the former champion facing down the man who took away his belt.
However, just as the fight seems about to begin, Hika tags in on Voorhees, the crowd booing that, having wanted to see Dar beat the hell out of Voorhees. Hika looks like she's really ready to fight Dar, but then turns to the side and tags in Shadow, the crowd booing once again, while Dar just seems nonplussed at the repeated tags. It seems like these two will finally face off, however, and begin circling the ring quickly. As both men go to lock in a grapple, Shadow slips under Dar's arms and moves behind him before locking in a Reverse Waistlock. Dar tries to twist out of it, but Shadow then reaches down and takes his leg out from under him, rolling Dar onto his back and dropping down for a leg lock. After a few moments, Dar swings his other leg around and hooks it under Shadow's neck, pulling him over and grabbing his arm to lock in a Jujigatame. Shadow manages to roll out of the hold and leave Dar on his stomach, and pulls his arm out from between his legs, quickly placing one of Dar's shins in the back of the other leg's knee, pressing down to apply pressure to that knee as he leans forward and locks in a crossface type hold. Shadow then breaks the hold and moves over to pick Dar up, but as Dar gets to his knees, he rolls out from under Shadow and grabs his arm, pushing him down onto the mat on his stomach and twisting his arm into a Hammerlock. Shadow manages to get to his knees, then pushes off with his feet to roll out of the hold, quickly turning around to pull Dar into a Front Facelock, lifting him up to his feet. Dar wraps his arms around Shadow's waist, however, and lifts him up for a Spinebuster, quickly dropping down to mount shadow, looking for some punches, but Shadow quickly covers his face up. Dar tries to pound past his guard, but Shadow manages to deflect most of the punches, then rolls over, trying to go for some mounted punches of his own, though Dar covers up as well. Dar quickly brings his legs up and locks his shins around Shadow's shoulder, looking to go for another Jujigatame, but Shadow pushes him off and rolls him backwards.
Shadow catches Dar in a Reverse Waistlock before he can get to his feet fully, but Dar manages to do a standing switch, only to have Shadow elbow out of the hold, running to the ropes to come back and knock Dar down with a Shoulderblock. Shadow goes to run to the ropes again, but Dar catches him with a kick to back of the knee from the mat, then rolls up and runs to the ropes. Shadow quickly leap frogs over Dar, turning around and going for a Lariat, but Dar grabs his arm and spins around to face Shadow, ducking another Clothesline, but Shadow uses the momentum to run to the ropes, coming back and ducking a Big Boot from Dar, spinning around and nailing a forearm to Dar before going for an Irish Whip. Dar reverses the whip, however, and spins back around Shadow to lift him up in a Crucifix Backbreaker Rack! Dar wrenches down on Shadow's arms, stretching his shoulder joints out as well as his back, the crowd cheering for the quick exchange between the two. Shadow manages to get his feet on the rope, however, and kicks off, flipping back to land on his feet in front of Dar, getting out of the hold in the process, and grabs Dar by the head, pulling him foward and tossing him across the ring, Dar rolling to break the impact and quickly turning around to face Shadow, leaving them back at square one. Shadow then walks back over to his corner, tagging in Voorhees. Dar glances over to his corner to see if anybody wants in, and sees Riona waving him over. Dar raises an eyebrow, but trusts in Riona's wrestling ability, tagging her in, leaving a big size difference between the two active competitors. Riona walks over to Voorhees, slowly circling with him, then holds her hand out as if asking for a Knucklelock test of strength. Voorhees raises an eyebrow, but goes for it, knowing he'd have a big advantage, but as soon as their hands lock together, Riona quickly swings her legs up and knocks one of Voorhees' hands out of the hold, spinning around to lock the arm still connected into an Armbar, but Voorhees spins back around to release the pressure, quickly moving back around Riona for a German Suplex, but Riona sits out and rolls to the side to try and get out of it, but Voorhees rolls right with her, leaving them both on the mat.
Voorhees tries to lift Riona up, but she sits back out and manages to roll out of the hold this time, pulling Voorhees into her own Reverse Waistlock, only to have Voorhees break her hold and grab one of her arms to twist it around into an Armbar. Riona rolls forward to release the pressure, then pulls Voorhees into her own Armbar, only to get kneed roughly in the side by Voorhees. As the prince of darkness goes for another, Riona catches his leg and takes him over in a Dragon Screw, trying to go for a kneebar, but Voorhees swings his leg up and boots her right in the face. Riona breaks the hold, and both roll back up to their feet, Voorhees limping a little while Riona clutches her jaw. Both lock up again, Riona pulling Voorhees into another Armbar, but Voorhees twists out of it and pulls Riona into a Headbutt, making her stumble backwards. Voorhees grabs her by the waist and charges her back into his corner, slamming her into the turnbuckles, allowing Hika to tag herself in. Riona fights out of the corner, however, elbowing Voorhees in the temple and turning around to catch Shadow with a forearm, rolling under Hika's attack to her corner and tagging in Frost. Hika quickly turns around to tag back out, but Voorhees has rolled out under the bottom rope to catch his breath, and Shadow has jumped off the apron to check to see if he's all right, not knowing that Riona had managed to tag out. As Hika turns around, Frost pulls her into a Side Headlock, wrenching his huge arm around Hika's head. Hika manages to push Frost up against the ropes and send him across the ring, but Frost catches her with a big Shoulderblock on the way back. Frost runs to the ropes again, but Hika manages to get up in time and catch him with an Arm Drag, the ring shaking as Frost hits the mat. The big man rolls right back to his feet, though, and catches Hika with an Arm Drag of his own. As he charges with a Lariat, Hika grabs his arm and uses his momentum to send him into the ropes, grabbing his arm once again as he comes back and pulling him into a Full Nelson, barely able to clasp her hands, trying to jump up and get her legs locked for a Body Scissors. Frost pulls out before she can do so, however, turning around and grabbing her head to spike Hika down into the mat with a DDT!
Frost lifts Hika up and goes for an Irish Whip, but Hika reverses it, quickly running to the opposite ropes and jumping up onto them, springboarding off and twisting in the air, going for a Springboard Flying Lariat, but Frost catches her arm and pulls her over into an Arm Drag in mid-air! Hika rolls up to her feet and tries to catch Frost with a Superkick, but Frost grabs her leg and spins her around before wrapping his arms around her waist and throwing her back with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Hika FLIES across the ring to land hard on her back, the crowd letting out a big cheer for that. Voorhees quickly comes in, seeing the danger his partner is in, but Frost turns around in time and levels him with a punch. Hika tries to pull Frost into a Schoolboy Rollup, but Frost plants his feet, then swings a leg back to connect with a boot to Hika's stomach before running to the ropes, coming back to connect with a low Yakuza Kick to her face as she tries to get up! Hika rolls over onto her back after that one, looking dazed. Frost picks her up and walks to the corner, tagging in Dar to another big cheer from the crowd, the Samoan hitting a boot to Hika's stomach while Frost holds her in a Front Facelock. Dar then grabs Hika and flips her over onto her back with a Snapmare as Frost exits the ring, then quickly runs to the ropes and comes back with a Knee Drop and a cover. "1...2..." Hika kicks out. Dar doesn't seem too upset over it, though, and quickly grabs Hika's arm to pull her into a Triangle Choke! Hika clutches at Dar's leg with her free arm, cringing from the lack of oxygen she's getting, but Voorhees is in with a boot to Dar's face to save her. Dar holds on to Hika's arm, however, and pulls her back towards his corner to where he tags in Frost, who hits a quick stomp to her face before Dar exits the ring. Frost pulls Hika away from the ropes before applying a Chinlock, stepping over one of her arms to keep it trapped. Hika slowly tries to roll over onto her stomach and get some leverage, but as she does, Frost releases the hold and drops down to lay over her back, hooking her arm with both his legs and reaching over to hook the other with his hands, wrenching it back behind his head and locking in a Rings of Saturn stretch! Finally, he breaks the hold, but keeps her one arm trapped to keep her in place with his legs, and leans over to tag in Riona.
Riona quickly gets to the nearest set of ropes, jumping up to hit a springboard and flying backwards to nail a springboard elbow directly into Hika's lower back. Frost lets go of her arm after this and exits the ring as Riona lifts Hika up, only to knock her right back down with a European Uppercut. Riona lifts her back up and knocks her into Frost and Dar's corner with a second European Uppercut, then pointing out Voorhees about to get in the ring again. While Schmoe goes over to admonish Voorhees, Dar grabs Hika's head and stretches her neck back, flipping off Voorhees with his free hand while he does so. As Schmoe turns around, Dar lets go, and Riona picks Hika up to whip her into a neutral corner, then whips her into the opposite neutral one before running in to nail a jumping knee strike into her stomach and pulling her out of the corner into a Vertical Suplex. Riona quickly runs to the corner, pulling herself onto the second rope and springing backward, turning in mid-air to nail a flying elbow drop on Hika. That gets two as Voorhees comes in to break the pin with another boot to Riona. Riona glares at Voorhees, but then turns and tags Frost back in, who walks over to Hika to lift her up for a BIG Vertical Suplex, stalling it for two or three seconds before connecting with the move, then going for a pin. "1...2..." Hika just gets a shoulder up this time, obviously in need of a tag. As Frost lifts her up, however, she manages to rake his eyes and go for an Irish Whip, but Frost reverses it despite the pain. Hika blocks an Arm Drag from Frost, spinning over to try and take him over in one of her own, but Frost blocks this one only to turn and nail Hika with a huge Lariat. Frost picks Hika up, then tags in Dar before whipping Hika into the corner. Both men move to the opposite one, then dash forward, coming in for a DOUBLE YAKUZA KICK TO HIKA! The crowd pops huge for that, as both Frost and Dar's boots are driven directly into Hika's face. Hika slumps to her knees and then onto her stomach, possibly concussed from that move, as Dar turns and throws up the X taunt for the crowd. Dar quickly goes for a pin. "1...2...TH-" Hika barely gets a shoulder up this time.
Dar doesn't let up, however, pulling Hika up to her feet and hitting a Vertical Suplex, floating over to hook her leg for another pin. "1...2...THR-" Hika once again just barely manages to get her shoulder up off the mat. Dar gets up, tagging Riona back in, the Prodigy coming in to hit a Leg Drop on Hika. Riona then lifts Hika up to her feet, pulling her around to pick her up into a Reverse Gory Special! The crowd cheers for the uncommon submission, and their cheers grow louder as Shadow comes in, only to have Riona swing around and nail him in the jaw with Hika's foot, knocking him down to the mat. Riona keeps one arm of Hika's hooked as she grabs Shadow's leg with her free arm and rolls him over onto his back, locking in a Half Crab with Hika still in the Reverse Gory Special! Voorhees ends all the fun, however, as he comes in and hits a Big Boot to Riona's face. Finally, Hika is able to roll over to her corner and tag in Voorhees as Shadow rolls to the outside. Riona is still down from the Big Boot, and Voorhees capitalizes, coming in to stomp on the back of her head before lifting her up and hitting a Snapmare, then kicking Riona HARD in the back. Another stomp to the back of her head causes Riona to roll away to the side of the ring, but Voorhees follows her over and lifts her up, only to have Riona charge him back into the corner. Unfortunately, it's Voorhees' own corner, and Shadow tags in before pulling Riona way and knocking her against the rope with forearms. Shadow pulls Riona over and bashes her head against a turnbuckle, then goes to whip her into the opposite corner, only to have Riona reverse it and send him there instead. Shadow manages to get a leg up as Riona runs at him, however, and his boot goes right into her jaw. Riona quickly turns back around to try again, but this time, Shadow lifts himself up and catches her around the head with his legs. Riona swings around to try and pull Shadow out of the corner, but he uses the momentum to hit a Hurracarana, then hooks Riona's legs for a pin. "1...2..." Riona kicks out. Hika sets her foot up on the top rope, and Shadow grabs Riona, bringing her over to slam her face right into Hika's boot before tagging in Hika. The two whip Riona into the ropes before catching her with a Double Hiptoss, and Shadow runs to the ropes to hit an Elbow Drop before Hika follows it up with a Leg Drop and a pin. "1...2..." Riona kicks out.
Hika lifts Riona to a sitting position before pulling her arm back and locking an Abdominal Stretch, preventing Riona from moving very well. Hika occasionally bashes her forearm into Riona's stomach to add to the pain of the maneuver, and Voorhees finally comes in to hit a kick right across Riona's abdomen. Hika then breaks the hold and goes for a pin. "1...2..." Riona kick sout. Hika lifts Riona up and throws her out of the ring before coming over to taunt Dar and Frost, both men getting in to try and shut her up, but Schmoe keeps them at bay. Meanwhile, on the outside, Shadow lifts Riona up and whips her right into a Clothesline from Voorhees. Shadow then walks over to lift Riona up and bash her head off the steel barrier before rolling her back into the ring as Schmoe restores order with Dar and Frost, both men looking furious. Hika smirks, turning around to lift Riona up and connect with a Gutwrench Suplex, following it with a pin. "1...2...TH-" Dar breaks the pin this time. Hika stands up and tags in Shadow, who comes in to lift Riona up to a seated position and hit a Dropkick right into her lower back. Shadow then rolls Riona over onto her back, grabbing her legs and sitting back to lock in a Boston Crab! Riona cringes as she gets put in the hold, slowly making her way over towards the ropes. However, before she can get there, Shadow quickly stands up and walks forward, pulling her back towards the center of the ring. iona cringes at the continuation of the hold, but slowly pushes her self up a little, suddenly reaching back to grab Shadow's leg, pulling it out from under him and rolling through with the motion of him falling over, rolling Shadow onto his stomach and quickly dropping down to grab his arm, locking it into a Fujiwara Armbar! The crowd cheers loudly for that reversal, Riona wrenching hard back on Shadow's arm with the submission, but Voorhees is in to hit a boot across Riona's head and break the hold. Shadow quickly rolls back over to his corner and tags out to Voorhees as Riona slowly starts to get up, holding her head. Voorhees quickly comes in with a boot to her gut before lifting her up in a Vertical Suplex, stalling the move and smirking out at the crowd as he holds the Prodigy upside down. While the BBFC would normally count for a stalled move like this happily, they all remain silent or boo the move, seeing as Voorhees has tormented their idol lately. Finally, after about fifteen seconds, Voorhees drops back to hit the suplex, then goes for a pin. "1...2..." Dar comes in to break the pin this time.
Voorhees glares over at Dar, but then lifts Riona up and pulls her back over to his corner, letting Hika tag herself in. Voorhees stays in and holds Riona in place to allow Hika to get a cheap shot in with her forearm to Riona's ribs, then goes over to argue with Schmoe, who has been chiding Voorhees for staying in the ring after the tag. As Hika lifts Riona up and takes her into a grapple, Riona suddenly pulls Hika down into a Small Package!...But Schmoe is too busy arguing with Voorhees to see the pin, and even though four or five seconds go by, Frost's team doesn't get their victory. Quickly, Shadow gets into the ring and rolls the two women over so that Hika is on top with her own Small Package. Schmoe turns around at this time, about to go for the pin, but Dar quickly runs in and rolls the pin back over so that Riona is on top. Schmoe then quickly counts the pin. "1...2...TH-" Hika kicks out. Hika turns and lifts Riona up to her feet, catching her with a quick forearm before picking her up for a Chokeslam to Hell! Hika then points to the ropes, quickly running over to them and jumping up to bounce off and flip backwards in the LAI'NSAULT!!! Hika quickly hooks the leg, and Voorhees and Shadow suddenly run across the ring, knocking Dar and Frost off the apron and preventing them from breaking the pin! "1...2...THR-" RIONA GETS A HAND ON THE ROPES!!! The crowd cheers loudly with relief at that, but Hika looks very angry, as do the rest of her team. Voorhees heads back to his corner while Shadow and Hika pick Riona up and whip her across the ring, both bending down and looking for a Double Back Body Drop, but Riona stops herself in time, coming in with a kick right into Hika's face, then catches Shadow with a knee while he's still bent over, quickly turning to knock Hika down with a Lariat! The crowd cheers once again, knowing that Riona really needs the tag by now. The crowd quickly starts a slow clap as all three lay in the middle of the ring, Riona slowly pulling herself over to her corner, finally managing to reach up and tag in Frost! Frost quickly comes into the ring, knocking Shadow back down with a Clothesline as he gets up, doing the same to Voorhees as he enters the ring, and turning around to catch Hika with a big right hand as she gets up. Frost quickly turns around to level Voorhees with another right hand as he tries to attack him from behind, then grabs Hika and whips her into a corner, dashing forward to hit a giant STINGER SPLASH! The crowd erupts into cheers as Frost slams his whole bodyweight right into Hika, smashing her body back against the turnbuckles, pulling her out of the corner and down into a pin. "1...2...TH-" Shadow breaks the pin.
Dar quickly comes into the ring to knock Shadow back towards his own corner with a series of elbow strikes, Riona joining him in coming in to catch Voorhees with a low Dropkick to his face as he starts to get up from the last time Frost knocked him down. Shadow blocks Dar's attack after a few more elbows, however, knocking him with with some hard punches and causing Dar to fall back and slide into the corner. Riona comes at Shadow from behind, however, catching him with a few forearms to the back of the head before throwing him out through the ropes to the ouside. Riona then quickly grabs the ropes, watching Shadow as he gets up on the outside, then quickly jumps up onto the ropes, springboarding off and twisting for the ANGELIC EUPHORIA TO THE OUTSIDE!!! The crowd pops huge for that uncommon aerial maneuver from Riona, especially in this suicide dive fashion. Meanwhile, Hika has managed to catch Frost with a low blow while Schmoe is distracted with Riona, incapacitating the big man for a few moments. As Riona jumps to the outside, Hika comes over to catch Dar from behind with an Enzuigiri, knocking the Samoan back down. Hika then quickly climbs to the outside apron, watching Riona and Shadow as they slowly start to get up, then quickly jumps up to swing her legs over the ropes, sitting down on the top one and bouncing backwards off of it to flip back in an ARABIAN PRESS TO THE OUTSIDE!!! Hika connects with Riona, knocking her down to the ground. Shadow helps Hika up, both of them looking to double team Riona, but Frost has gotten up by this point, watching the two of them, and suddenly dashes forward, the crowd up on their feet once again as Frost hits a TOPE SUICID-NO!!! HIKA AND SHADOW CATCH HIM! The crowd gasps as Hika and Shadow move to the side in time, catching Frost as he comes out through the ropes, though they seem to be having a hard time even holding him up. Before the two of them can do anything, though, Dar dashes across the ring, the crowd letting out a huge cheer as he dives over the ropes with a NO HANDS PLANCHA!!! Everyone tumbles to the floor once again, the crowd pounding the steel barrier around the ring and cheering loudly in appreciation for the dives from Frost's team. Dar helps Frost and Riona back up to their feet, but the crowd doesn't seem very happy anymore, instead quite nervous as a large shape casts a shadow over the three of them. The three turn around to see Voorhees standing on the top turnbuckle, who smirks at them for a moment before jumping off in a DIVING BODY PRESS TO THE OUTSIDE!!! Everyone collapses once again, the crowd's happiness over Dar's last dive gone now that Voorhees has finished the dive-fest off.
Voorhees gets up, grabbing Riona out of the pile of bodies and rolling her back into the ring, climbing in with her and picking her up to viciously pound his fist into her face with a series of hard punches, finally lifting her up onto his shoulders and dropping to the side for a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Voorhees then goes for the cover. "1...2...THR-" Riona barely gets a shoulder up, much to the crowd's relief. Voorhees then stands up, lifting his hand up and making a cut-throat motion across his throat, signalling for the end. As Riona gets up to her feet, Voorhees quickly grabs her, spinning her around and dropping for the TOMBSTONE PILEDRI-NO! Riona slides back over Voorhees' shoulders to land behind him, Voorhees turning around to get a European Uppercut from the Prodigy, who then pulls him down into a Front Facelock, looking for the Bomb Dropper, but Shadow is in to stop that with a clubbing blow to Riona's back. Voorhees moves to the side as Shadow pulls Riona into a Standing Head Scissors near the corner, looking for the Shadow Buster, but Riona refuses to be lifted up for the Powerbomb. Shadow finally breaks the hold, instead catching Riona with a big forearm before turning her sideways and wrapping his arms around her waist, flexing back to drop her on her head with a Saito Suplex! Shadow quickly covers for a pin, and Schmoe goes to count it, having completely forgotten by now with all the excitement who the legal wrestlers are. "1...2...TH-" Frost is in to break up the pin. Frost grabs Shadow and whips him across the ring, but Shadow ducks the Yakuza Kick from Frost, spinning around to catch the big man with a Hammerthrow Clothesline! Frost goes down hard, and Shadow quickly covers. "1...2...TH-" Dar breaks this pin up. Hika quickly grabs Dar and pulls him back to the outside, whipping him into the barrier before he has a chance to counterattack. However, Frost catches Shadow with a boot as both men get up, grabbing his arm and twisting it around into a Hammerlock, then lifts Shadow up at least a foot off the ground, putting Shadow's entire bodyweight on his shoulder joint! Shadow cries out in pain at the vicious submission that only someone like Frost could do, but Hika has climbed up onto the ring apron, and jumps up onto the ropes to come off with a Springboard Dropkick that knocks Frost down and forces him to let go of Shadow's arm, both men falling down to the mat. Hika picks Frost up and goes to whip him into the corner, but Frost reverses it, running in to nail a Clothesline to Hika, smashing her back against the buckles before lifting her up on the top rope, climbing up and raising his arms up for the crowd before jumping up to hit a FRANKENSTEIN-NO! HIKA ROLLS THROUGH INTO A SUNSET FLIP! "1...2...TH-" DAR BREAKS IT UP!
Dar picks Hika up, smacking her in the jaw with several hard elbows before bending her down and grabbing her around the waist to flip her up for the X-DRILLA-NO! Hika blocks the move with another low blow, pulling out of Dar's hold and putting him in a Standing Head Scissors, hooking his arms for a PEDIGR-NO! Dar Back Body Drops Hika, but she manages to land shakily on her feet, only to have Dar grab her from behind and rush her foward into the ropes, rolling back off of it into a REVERSE ROLLUP! "1...2...THR-" Hika kicks out. Dar lifts Hika up and knocks her back into the corner with more elbows, then whips her across the ring into the opposite corner, running in for a Flying Lariat, but Hika ducks to the side, though Dar catches himself on the second rope. Hika takes advantage, however, quickly catching Dar with a kick to the back, then hops up onto the top rope, jumping up to wrap her legs around Dar's head and falling back out of the corner with an AVALANCHE REVERSE HURRICAN-DDT!!! The crowd lets out an "OHHH!" and cringes as Dar falls backwards and lands right on his head from the move, slumping backwards over onto his stomach, not moving. Hika manages to roll Dar over for a pin. "1...2...THR-" Dar just barely manages to get a shoulder up, the crowd sighing with relief. Hika seems to know she's only one big move away from getting a finish, though, and lifts Dar back up, once again pulling him into a Standing Head Scissors and trying to hook his arms, but Dar defiantly keeps her from getting a Pedigree set up. Finally, Dar straightens up and hangs Hika over his back, holding onto her legs, and Frost suddenly comes in, grabbing Hika and pulling her off of Dar's back turning her around and lifting her up in a reverse suplex, the crowd immediately bursting into cheers, knowing that this is the beginning of a NUCLEAR WINT-NO! Voorhees comes in and pushes Hika over so that she lands on her feet behind Frost, and catches Frost himself with a Big Boot. Voorhees quickly lifts Frost up, turning him over for the TOMBSTONE PILEDRI-NO! Riona bashes Voorhees from behind with an Axe Handle, making Voorhees drop Frost and stumble forward. Riona quickly grabs Frost and bends him backward into a Dragon Sleeper, throwing one arm up in the air and calling for the BOMB DROPPER REMI-NO! Shadow breaks this up and turns Riona around, pulling her over to the corner with forearms and setting her in a Standing Head Scissors for the SHADOW BUST-NO! Dar breaks this one up and pulls Shadow into a Dragon Sleeper with one arm, locking his other in a Hammerlock, looking to go for the ARCHETYPE BREA-NOOO! Hika stops this one with a sudden Superkick to Dar, making him stumble backwards away from Shadow.
Shadow pulls Dar into a Standing Head Scissors and flips him up onto his shoulders for a Powerbomb, but Hika then reaches up to grab Dar's arms, pulling him down a bit so that he's stretched out horizontal. Hika suddenly drops down and pulls Dar foward, Shadow leaning forward to keep him from falling off his shoulders, and the two land a HIGH-ANGLE CROSS POWERBOMB!!! Hika rolls out of the way, and Shadow pushes down on Dar's legs for a pin. "1...2...TH-" Riona breaks it up. Dar and Shadow roll to the outside as Hika grabs Riona and whips her into the corner, but Riona runs up the buckles and jumps off, grabbing Hika's head and spinning out for a Tornado DDT, but Hika bends down and sets Riona on her feet, blocking the move. Quickly, Hika jumps up and twirls around for a Spinning Wheel Kick, but Riona ducks under it, Hika barely landing on her feet. It doesn't matter, though, as Riona pulls her into a Dragon Sleeper from behind, then quickly slings her up and spins over for the BOMB DROPPER REMIX!!! The crowd immediately jumps to their feet and lets out a huge cheer as Rinoa rolls Hika over for the pin. "1...2...THR-" Shadow breaks the pin to a large series of boos and jeers from the crowd. Shadow then runs to the ropes as Riona gets up, catching her on the way back and pulling her around into the SHADOW SLAM!!! Shadow then quickly rolls Riona over for a pin. "1...2...TH-" Frost breaks it up, lifting Shadow up and whipping him into the ropes, catching him as he comes back for the FROZEN VORTEX!!! COVER! "1...2...THR-" Voorhees breaks it up, lifting Frost to his feet and viciously attacking him with a series of right hands, whipping him into the ropes aftward. Frost ducks a Clothesline, coming off the ropes again with his own Clothesline, but Voorhees doesn't go down! Frost quickly runs to the ropes and hits another Clothesline, but Voorhees still doesn't go down, instead straightening up this time and pointing towards the ropes, telling Frost to try again. Frost does so, coming off the ropes with a third Clothesline, and Voorhees stumbles back this time, but instead goes back the ropes, coming off with a Lariat attempt. Frost blocks it with a Big Boot to the shoulder, however, turning Voorhees around and pulling him into a reverse facelock, lifting him up in the air for the NUCLEAR WINT-NO! Voorhees floats over and grabs Frost from behind, lifting him up onto his shoulders in a Torture Rack and grinning evilly out at the crowd before dropping Frost in the MY LAST BREATH!!! The crowd screams in horror as Voorhees hits the reverse DVD and applies a Bow Backbreaker afterwards, Frost cringing in pain as the move is applied, though it seems the reverse DVD has addled his senses enough that he's not feeling the pain right away.
On the outside, Hika holds Riona back from entering the ring while Shadow does the same to Dar, both team mates trying to get in the ring to help their partner. Finally, Riona manages to push Hika away and roll in the ring, catching Voorhees with a Dropkick just as it looked like Frost was lifting up his hand to tap. Dar, meanwhile, grabs Shadow's arm and whips him into the corner of the barrier, Shadow slumping down into a chair. Dar then grins, turning to the crowd and throwing up the X taunt, quickly running across the aisle and dashing back across to hit the X-PLOSION KICK!!! Shadow slumps down out of his chair, looking like he's been knocked out by the move. In the ring, Riona waits for Voorhees to get up, standing by the ropes, and quickly runs forward to catch him with a SHINING WIZAR-NO! Voorhees catches Riona around the waist, flipping her over onto his back and standing up, stretching her arms out and tossing her down for the CRUCIFIX POWERBO-NO! Dar rolls into the ring and pulls Riona out of Voorhees' arms, knocking him back against the ropes with a series of elbows, throwing a few more chops as well, then ties Voorhees' arms around the top rope, dashing back across the ring. Voorhees manages to get his arms untangled, but it's too late, and Dar comes back to Clothesline both himself AND Voorhees to the outside! Riona turns around to see Hika flying off the ropes with a springboard Thesz Press, but Riona catches her with a REALITY CHECK IN MID-AIR! Hika flips backwards to land on her stomach from the impact, and Riona quickly drops down, grabbing Hika's arm and pulling it behind her head before locking her hands across Hika's face and wrenching back to lock in the PAINKILLER!!! The crowd erupts into cheers as Riona locks in her signature submission, wrenching back hard on Hika's neck. Shadow and Frost are still both motionless on the outside, and Dar is keeping Voorhees occupied with a brawl at ringside, leaving Hika with no partners to get her out of this hold, and Riona has it cinched in right near the center of the ring. Each time she tries to shift over towards the ropes, Riona just wrenches back harder on the hold, tearing at Hika's neck muscles. Finally, the pain just becomes too much, and HIKA TAPS!!!
Riona breaks the hold and rolls away from Hika, the crowd letting out a gigantic pop as Schmoe calls for the bell. "Here are your winners...The team of Jack Frost, Darson Grays and Riona Langly!"
Things don't calm down at all, however, as a figure suddenly begins making its way down through the crowd, fans quickly moving aside, almost seeming scared for some reason, though the camera doesn't have a good enough shot of the figure to see who it is or why it would be causing such nervousness amongst the crowd. Finally, though, as the figure reaches ringside and hops the barrier, the crowd realizes that it is none other than BRIAN BLADE...With a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it, wrapped in barbed wire!
Blade heads straight toward where Dar and Voorhees have put a quick stop to their brawl, having wanted to see who this figure is. Dar, deciding that this isn't his war, rolls into the ring and stands up, watching the action from there. At the same time, Shadow seems to have recovered from the X-Plosion Kick from earlier, and quickly assesses the situation before running over to help his master. Blade lets out a feral yell as he hefts the baseball bat up, dashing towards Voorhees. Riona quickly moves to the ropes, looking like she's going to go down to help Blade, but Dar suddenly holds her back, turning and saying something to her that apparently makes Riona reconsider the situation, hanging back in the ring, though looking reluctant all the same. Voorhees steps backwards, but doesn't seem like he wants to flee, instead just unsure of what to do in this situation. However, he's forced to think on his feet as Blade takes a wild swing at his head, the prince of darkness quickly ducking the deadly bat. However, Blade manages to catch him with a boot that keeps him in a doubled over position, and raises the bat up, looking like he's going to smash it down right on the back of Voorhees' head. Shadow manages to pull his master to the side at the last second, however, but doesn't manage to get himself away completely, and Blade's bat comes right down onto him, IMPALING THE NAILS AND BARBED WIRE INTO SHADOW'S THIGH! Shadow screams out in pain as the sharp instruments smash down into his leg, but Blade seems to just ignore him, instead tearing the bat back up, causing blood and bits of flesh to fly up from Shadow's thigh, the barbed wire flaying his skin. Shadow stumbles backwards and falls to a seated position at the side of the ring, clutching his leg, looking like he's in shock. Blade doesn't even seem to notice him, however, his eyes locked on Voorhees, who has now moved back towards the entrance ramp, trying to give himself some room to think and figure out how to deal with the wild Brian Blade.
The point becomes moot, however, as several members of the Jack Frost Security Force hop the barrier, Frost himself having gotten up from the outside by now and moving over to rip the bat away from Blade. The former BTWF executive actually looks like he's going to attack his long-time body guard, but Riona and two security members quickly pull him back, restraining him. Blade yells out wild insults and threats to Voorhees as he tries to break free, but the grip of the three is too strong. Hika has, by now, slunk out of the ring, quickly moving around the security members and up the ramp to join Voorhees, who has begun walking backwards up the ramp, his eyes locked with Blade's, his expression neutral and blank. Voorhees, for once, seems cautious of another wrestler, but no signs of actual fear show on him, though Hika seems a bit put off by Blade's ferocious actions. As the two finally move back through the curtains, a few medics come down to help Shadow onto a stretcher, taking him out into a corridor in the stands while the security force pulls Blade out through another one, Riona still restraining him, Frost following after the group. Dar, meanwhile, remains in the ring, watching all of this with an interested gaze, waiting until Blade is almost out of sight before exiting the ring and making his way up the ramp, high fiving the few fans along the barrier who aren't too shocked by this turn of events to seek out contact with one of the wrestlers. Dar stops at the top of the ramp, turning to look back over the crowd and the arena, his brow furrowed, as if he's deep in thought. The crowd seems to share his mood, strangely quiet, murmuring replacing what would normally be cheers. Dar slowly shakes his head after a few moments, turning and exiting through the curtains, the crowd now wondering what consequences these events will have on the feud between Voorhees and Blade.
