CARD #116 - INVASION - 01.07.2125

From the Demios Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

FADE IN

We see a gloved fist slam into a locker. The camera pulls back and we see a furious SWARM. He stands seething, face to face with HECTOR. PAYBACK and THANTOS (II) stand nearby, looking on.

SWARM: The undercard?! I’m wrestling on the undercard? Before the women wrestle?

HECTOR: Yes.

SWARM: Would you like to tell me WHY?!

HECTOR: I have my reasons.

SWARM: No. No that kind of crap doesn’t cut it. Listen I trusted you enough to join this team, you give me the trust to tell my ‘your reason’ for putting me in an UNDERCARD match? I’m better than this.

HECTOR: You are. In fact, I’d say you’re the top tier wrestler on this team.

SWARM (taking a step forward towards HECOTR): Then why. Am I. Wrestling on. THE UNDERCARD?!

HECTOR: Because I trust you. I value your opinion. You’ll be taking on this newcomer Drury has on his team, this alien. I need an honest evaluation of how much we have to fear from him and I trust YOU to give it to me.

SWARM just stares at HECTOR.

HECTOR: If I go out there, Drury will have his goon squad at ringside in a second looking for a moment to take me out. Thantos’s target is Encubus and he is a newcomer. I don’t think we’ll get an honest evaluation due to the adrenaline of his first match. (He turns to THANTOS (II)) No offense.

THANTOS (II) shakes his head.

HECTOR: And Payback...well, I send this wildman out here and we’d get a fair assessment of this alien’s toughness and ability to withstand a chairshot, but no honest analysis of this it’s ‘wrestling‘ abilities. (He turns to PAYBACK.) No offense.

PAYBACK: None taken. You speak the truth.

HECTOR (turns back to SWARM): But I send you out there, Swarm. My experienced veteran. And I know that afterwards I’ll get an honest assessment of his abilities that I’ll be able to use to plan how we’re going to take out Martial Law this year.

SWARM is silent. Then he nods his head.

SWARM: You’re right. You’re right. I see your point. You got it. But I tell you this, I’m not going to be stuck in an undercard feud this year. Got it?

HECTOR (puts a hand on SWARM’S shoulder): Swarm, trust me. My plan for you this year is about as far from the undercard as you can get. But I need to get a line on this new guy.

SWARM nods.

CUT TO

We’re in SLY DRURY’S luxury box Commissioner’s office. DRURY is talking to two cosmic beings. They are thin and almost transparent, but give off the air of being elderly, yet somehow ageless. They stare silently at DRURY as he looks into a case on his desk. DRURY closes the case.

DRURY: Where’s the other half?

ABROZ: The second half will be paid to you directly at the end of the year.

DIALECTAS: When you have completed your end of the deal.

DRURY: That wasn’t what we agreed on.

ABROZ: Mr. Sly Drury, you are known to us. Being cosmic allows for some more intimate knowledge of the cosmos and the beings that reside in it.

DIALECTAS: And our knowledge of you and how your ‘agreements’ always seem to work out solely in your favor...

DRURY (stands): What agreements are you referring to?

ABROZ: Please Mr. Sly Drury, relax. As cosmic beings we are far above using any knowledge we posess to interfere in the lives of mortals.

DIALECTAS: Yes, the universe has it’s own way of sorting things out. We are merely observers. Only picking sides and allowing things to play out however the universe decides.

ABROZ: But we will not leave to chance our ‘sport’. We must ensure that the arrangement we propose with you is played out exactly as promised.

DIALECTAS: Hence, half the money now. The other half on December 31st. When our challenge is complete.

DRURY regards the two beings for a moment.

DRURY: Fine. But you’d better not renege on your deal. (He sits.) Your show starts next week. We’re renaming it SUPERNOVA: CHALLENGE. It’s all yours.

ABROZ: Excellent Mr. Sly Drury.

DIALECTAS: Let the challenge begin, Abroz.

ABROZ: Most certainly Dialectus.

DIALECTUS: We thank you Mr. Sly Drury.

DRURY: Yeah. Hey Paige?

BEJAMIN PAIGE opens the door.

PAIGE: Yeah boss.

DRURY: Show these two out and post these notices in the locker rooms.

DRURY holds out some papers.

PAIGE: Yeah boss.

PAIGE takes the notices and gestures to the door for ABROZ and DIALECTAS. The two beings motionlessly turn and glide out the door.

PAIGE (to DRURY): Kinda weird they don’t have walk, huh boss?

DRURY: Get out of here Paige!

PAIGE: Yes, boss.

PAIGE leaves and slams the door behind him. DRURY shakes his head then opens the case and looks in again. He smiles.

CUT TO

We’re down at ringside for our first match of the night and 2125!

Swarm d. Symbiosis by pinfall with the Beekeeper Backbreaker - *

Strafe and Phantasy brawl to a quick DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION. Ringside security had to come down to separate these two after the bell rang. - DUD

CUT TO

We’re back in DRURY’S office DRURY sits looking back and forth between tow people. The camera pans back to reveal that it’s the GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS Encubus and Bloodline! The stand, arms crossed, not looking at each other.

DRURY: Now, whatever kind of Family Feud is going between you to, I don’t care. Well, I don’t care inasmuch, as you two are the Galaxian Tag Team Champions and I’m the Commissioner. So tonight, you’ll defend the belts.

ENCUBUS: FIne.

BLOODLINE: Against whom?

DRURY: Well, as you may or may not know, this year I have a co-commissioner.

ENCUBUS: Overmaster?

DRURY: Yes.

BLOODLINE: We make strange bedfellows don’t we try to work every angle don’t we Drury.

DRURY (pause): Regardless, since he’s still out with an injury, I asked him to choose your opponents for tonight.

BLOODLINE: Let me guess. The Gladiators.

DRURY: Yes. In the main event.

BLOODLINE: Great.

BLOODLINE turns to exit. ENCUBUS follows behind and as he’s about to exit he turns and looks at DRURY. DRURY looks at him and brushes a single finger alongside his nose. ENCUBUS nods and exits.

CUT TO

Back down at ringside, RETRIBUTION stands in the ring. Suddenly the arena is flooded with red light and newcomer PAGANAX enters the arena. A small, but very vocal crowd cheers loudly. The rest of the arena watches quietly as the impressive creature makes his way to the ring.

Paganax d. Retribution via pinfall with the PAGAN VOID. - * - Paganax makes short work of Retribution in their brief encounter.

Ensor d. Coven Black via pinfall after the ERUPTION OF THARSIS in a completely unimpressive debut for the vampire. - SQUASH

CUT TO

We are in the Legends of the Ring locker room. The four members sit talking.

SWARM: -- Going to be that much of a threat. He was strong but I was able to...

There’s a knock on the door.

HECTOR: Yeah?

The door cracks open and MANTIS pokes his head in. SWARM signals to the other to hold on a second and crosses to the door.

SWARM: Yeah?

MANTIS: Sorry to bug you dad. Have you seen this Infinity Challenge notice that Paige posted in the locker rooms?

SWARM: Yeah.

MANTIS: Well I’m thinking about signing up and I wanted to ask you if you thought...

SWARM holds up a hand.

SWARM: Kid. Last year you made it clear to the entire galaxy, and that includes me, that you can handle yourself in the ring. You don’t have to ask me permission anymore. I trust your judgement.

MANTIS: Really?

SWARM: Yeah. You call your own shots now. No need to ask my permission anymore. Just know that no matter what I’m involved in, I’m here for you if you need my opinion. As far as my OPINION on you being in this challenge. Go for it. Kick some ass!

MANTIS gets a big smile on his face and they shake hands.

CUT TO

We’re back at ringside for our next big event.

Anivar d. Paralyze by DQ when PARALYZE slammed Anivar into the guardrails at ringside against the refs warning. - DUD - The match was a brawl for the beginning. After the bell, Anivar was dazed and lying on the ground. Paralyze stood over him and looked down at Anivar’s extended tattooed fingers. Paralyze crouches down and picks one of Anivar’s hands up in his. He looks closely at the tattoos on his fingers. Then he looks over at Strafe who was standing behind him. He smiles. Strafe smiles back and nods. Then he drops Anivar’s hand and stands. Then simply turns and walks away from ringside to a huge chorus of boos from the crowd.

Anivar was helped to the back and we were ready for our next big match up!

Endgame d. Bishop Hell (II) by submission with the ROLLING FIGURE FOUR. - *** - Many were shocked to see a new incarnation of Bishop Hell (II), and several children in the crowd were a bit frightened by the imposing visage but their fears were soon assuaged by Endgame, the hero, came out and was able to pretty much handle Bishop Hell (II). The newcomer did get in some offense, but in the end, Endgame was able to easily score the win.

MAIN EVENT
GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
DIVIDED WE FALL© vs. GLADIATORS

Encubus started against the impressive newcomer Turmoil. Encubus got a few moves of offense in and then tagged out to Bloodline. Bloodline slipped a bit against Turmoil and when he reached out for the tag, Encubus just left ringside. He simply walked to the back as Bloodline helplessly watched. Turmoil pounced and showed...no...mercy and after moments of punishment, the duo hit their finisher CHAOS IN THE CROWD and easily pinned Bloodline.

The Gladiators, the new GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS stood in the ring holding their newly won belts over the fallen body of Bloodline as we...

FADE TO BLACK.

CARD #117 - 01.14.2125 - SUPERNOVA: CHALLENGE!

From Deimios Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

FADE IN

We see the two comic beings standing side by side.

ABROZ: Good evening mortals.

DIALECTAS: And welcome you are to Supernova: Challenge.

ABROZ: You have heard, yes, of our Infinity Challenge?

DIALECTUS: The challenge we now bring here to the Galactic Wrestling Federation.

ABROZ: Tonight we shall draft two teams, with me drafting with my intuition.

DIALECTAS: And I using logic based on study of records.

ABROZ: Our teams will compete in events throughout the year.

DIALECTAS: To decide the victor between conjecture and reason.

The two turn and look at each other and nod slightly.

DIALECTAS: Our two teams will compete in many matches and challenges against each other.

ABROZ: A win by pinfall or submission will earn the victor two points for his team.

DIALECTAS: A win by disqualification or countout will earn the victor one point for his team.

ABROZ: The team that scores the most points on that night earns their team one extra point.

DIALECTAS: The team at year’s end with the most points, will win the challenge.

ABROZ: And our centuries long battle will continue.

The two turn and nod to each other.

ABROZ: One by one we’ve made our choice.

DIALECTUS: I using logic, while intuition fueled his choice.

ABROZ: The Infinity Challenge has begun.

DIALECTAS: Let us reveal our teams now to everyone.

A graphic comes on the screen showing how the two teams are divided.

ABROZ
Bloodline
Tanck
The Betrayer
Vidtek
Plethador
LEADERS OF THE PACK (Panther Warrior & Malkuth)
FRONTAL ASSAULT (Thraxx & Zygon)
Deadliest
Shann-Ra

DIALECTAS
Tricks
Gryt
Oracle
Nitro
Scimitar
STARS & STRIPES (U.S. Male & American Guy)
LIFTOFF (Tristan & Mantis)
She-Devil
Rotunda

From this we cut down to the ring for our first match!

Deadliest d. She-Devil by pinfall with PURIFICATION. - *1/2 - Deadliest makes a strong opening statement for her team, easily dispatching of She-Devil.

Scimitar d. Plethador by pinfall after a deathjump. - **** - Holy cow! This was the match of these two wrestler’s careers! This competition has brought the fire out in these two and they both shocked the galaxy with a hard fought match. They shocked the galaxy even further by standing up and shaking hands afterwards! The crowd exploded! Plethador even tried to get Scimitar to do the Plethador Shuffle but the knife thrower refused. This match set the right tone for the challenge and Scimitar’s win tied the scoring up early on.

Vidtek d. Gryt by pinfall with a Powerbomb! - ***1/2 - Another great match and these two took each other to the limit.

LIFTOFF d. FRONTAL ASSAULT by DQ when Zygon hit Tristan with a chair as he flew out of the ring at him. - *1/4 - The new tandem of Mantis and Tristan actually worked very well together. They were close to winning several times before the DQ ending.

MAIN EVENT
Oracle d. Tanck by pinfall with the DIVINATION. - ** - The former teammates went toe to toe and Oracle shocked many in attendance by overpowering the big man and getting the win.

At the end of the evening, Dialectas led Abroz 5-4 which gives Dialectas a bonus point bringing the Infinity Challenge score after the first night of action to:

Dialectas: 6
Abroz: 4

We cut back to the cosmic beings looking at the score on a holo-vid. They nod to each other.

DIALECTUS: Logic seems to be leading the way.

ABROZ: But this was merely the very first day.

They nod again to each other as we...

CARD #118 - INVASION - 02.07.2125

FADE IN

We open on the imposing figure of PAGANAX standing in the middle of the ring. He has the mic.

PAGANAX: Endgame! I’m here. Come face me...NOW!

There is no response until suddenly ENSOR appears at the top of the ramp to a huge ovation.

ENSOR: Endgame isn’t here tonight. But if it’s a fight you want, I’m more than ready to bring it to you.

ENSOR rushes the ring and the bell rings for our first match!

Paganax d. Ensor by pinfall with the PAGAN VOID. - ** - Ensor put up a valaint effort but was soon overrun by the behemoth Paganax! After the match Paganax demanded the mic.

PAGANAX: Endgame. If decimating each of the members of your faction is what I have to do, then I will. I’m coming for you.

PAGANAX storms out of the ring leaving a weakened ENSOR to try and stand.

CUT TO

We’re in COMMISSIONER DRURY’S luxury box office. The GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP BELT sits on his desk. He’s talking to someone off camera.

DRURY: ...set up. So all you have to do is go out there and make sure he loses. Hector cannot move up the rankings to get a shot at this belt. I’ve got to keep him as far away from me as possible. Understand?

The camera pans back to reveal OMEN and NOSFERA.

OMEN: We understand. Come Nosfera. We have a match.

NOSFERA hisses as they turn to walk out and we head back to the ring.

CUT TO:

In the ring stand CLINCH and SHOOT, THE ULTIMATE FIGHTERS.

SHOOT: We’re here in the GWF to prove one thing. That we are the most dominant tag team in the galaxy. Right Clinch?

CLINCH: That’s right Shoot. And it won’t be long until those Galaxian Tag Team Championship Belts are around our waist. Right Shoot?

SHOOT: That’s right Clinch! And we ain’t going to take no cakewalk to win them either, like the team that currently holds them did. We’re here to prove our toughness and fight! Right Clinch?

CLINCH: Right Shoot! So why not send out the first team we’re going to ground and pound into a bloody pulp, cause the Ultimate Fighters are....

BOTH: FIGHTIN’ TOUGH!!

There’s a pause and suddenly FRONTAL ASSAULT appear at the top of the ramp and head towards the ring!

ULTIMATE FIGHTERS d. FRONTAL ASSAULT by pinfall when Clinch hits Thraxx with DEADLY SHADOWS. - *1/4 - The ULTIMATE FIGHTERS look good in their debut match, picking up a strong win against a tough team.

CUT TO:

We’re in Legends of the Ring’s locker room. SWARM and PAYBACK talk.

SWARM: ...frustrating as all get out.

PAYBACK: I understand, but we went into this agreement, knowing that he had a plan. We didn’t know WHAT the plan was exactly, but we trusted him enough to trust he’s got one.

SWARM: Yeah, I know.

PAYBACK: Look, Swarm, you know I’ve got your back. Whatever happens. You don’t like the way things are going, make the call and I’m behind you, 100%.

SWARM: Thanks, man. I just--

The door opens and HECTOR, THANTOS (II) and SULTANA enter the room.

HECOTR: Okay, here’s the plan for tonight. Drury’s afraid. He’s put me in a match against Nosfera, so I have that to deal with.

SWARM: Good luck.

HECTOR: Thanks. “Thantos” has Encubus next. “Thantos”, your is to keep Encubus off his game. Keep him focused on you.

THANTOS (II): Got it.

HECTOR: Sultana. You have a non-title match against Mother Superior. I know she’s a tough egg to crack but if we put get her worried about her belt, that’ll get her complaining to Drury and keep him scattered. A win tonight would be well met.

SULTANA: I’m going to make that witch squirm.

HECTOR: Good. Payback, I’ve booked you in a match against Patch. Can you handle him?

PAYBACK: You kidding, I’ll poke his other eye out. Heh. (He cracks his knuckles.) With a table.

HECTOR: Excellent. Looks like we’re set. Good luck tonight.

SWARM stands.

SWARM: Whoa, wait a minute. We’re not ‘all set’. What’s the ‘plan’ for me?

HECTOR: The plan for you, right now is just to sit tight.

SWARM: Sit tight?!

HECTOR: Yes.

SWARM: This is crap! I’m the best wrestler on this squad and I’m being wasted.

HECTOR: You are NOT being wasted! You are a major piece in this game I’m playing with Drury and I have to wait until the precise moment to play you to do the most damage!

SWARM fumes the calms down.

SWARM: You wait too long Hector and this ‘piece’ might not be here for you to ‘play’.

HECTOR: Look, I understand and I appreciate your concerns. It’s all part of a plan. Turst me.

SWARM stares at HECTOR for a moment.

SWARM: Fine.

HECTOR: Good. Okay, “Thantos” let’s go. Sultana you accompany him. I’ll watch from the audience.

The three of them exit. The door closes. SWARM punches a locker.

CUT TO

Thantos (II) d. Encubus by submission via THE MASTERLOCK. - * - Encubus was sufficiently off his game and Thantos (II) easily took charge and won the match. Afterwards Thantos (II) and Sultana mocked Encubus as he slunk back to the locker rooms. Hector came out to congratulate them and also prepare for his match that was next.

CUT TO

We’re back stage in Covert Operation’s dressing room. HAVOC stands talking to ANIVAR and DARK MENACE.

ANIVAR: ...can’t believe I let him get to me!

MENACE: It’s fine. Don’t worry. It’s in the past.

ANIVAR: And what was with him looking at my tattoos and nodding? I need to get my hands on him again!

MENACE: And you will. But tonight Havoc gets The Overmaster. And I need you focused on commanding the Sleeper Cell!

ANIVAR: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m good. Sleeper Cell will be there. Just give the signal.

MANACE: Havoc. You set.

HAVOC: To end the Gladiator reign of dominance. Heh. Anytime.

MENACE: Good.

CUT TO:

GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP
NON-TITLE MATCH
Mother Superior d. Sultana via pin with SERPENTS OF HYDRA. - ***1/2 - Great back and forth match. Sultana came close to winning several times, but Mother Superior pulled out the victory.

Payback d. Patch by DQ when Drury’s Security Squad interfered in the match on behalf of Patch. - ***1/2 - This was an all out brawl! These two men tore into each other and it looked as if Payback would have the upper hand! That is until Drury sent in the Security Squad and one of them cold cocked Payback with the butt of his rifle in view of the ref who had no choice but to call a DQ. As Patch left the ring with the security squad around him, Payback grabbed the mic.

PAYBACK: Patch, you think you’re tough yet you need these clowns to help you. You know that I had you tonight. So I’m going to make it easy for you. You and me. Stormfront. In one of your, what you call it? Street Suicide matches! What do you say?

PATCH thinks for a second and then smiles and nods.

PAYBACK: You think you’re the definition of tough. But at Stormfront you’ll find out the definition of EXTREEEEEEME!

The crowd cheers loudly as PATCH exits.

MAIN EVENT
Havoc d. Aethran Overmaster by DQ when Overmaster refused to stop grinding Havoc’s face into the guardrails at ringside! - **1/2 - After the match, Overmaster continued to wail on Havoc which brought out Anivar, The Ultimate FIghters and the Sleeper Cell! This brought out Paralyze, Rush, Turmoil and Strafe! A huge brawl ensued and it’s this we see as the whole show...

CARD #2125.119 - SUPERNOVA: CHALLENGE! - 02.14.2125

From Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

FADE IN

We see ABROZ and DIALECTUS standing side by side.

DIALECTUS: Well met dear mortals once again we convene.

ABROZ: You join us once again as we step closer to the end.

DIALECTUS: Of this chapter of the battle that has raged for eons.

ABROZ: Between logic and intuition.

The two turn and nod to each other.

DIALECTUS: Currently logic has taken the lead.

ABROZ: Only by two points it has indeed.

DIALECTUS: Let us to that add some points more.

ABROZ: From the battles tonight of which there are four.

The two cosmic beings nod to each other and we cut to the ring.

Shann-Ra d. Rotunda via pinfall with the MACHETE. - * - Shann-Ra picks up 2 points for Abroz.

The Betrayer d. Notro via pinfall with BLACK BETRAYAL. - 1/2 - Betrayer helps his team with two more points.

STARS & STRIPES d. LEADERS OF THE PACK by pinfall when American Guy hits Panther Warrior with AMERICAN FIREPOWER. - * - STARS & STRIPES gets Dialectus his first points of the evening.

In an unscheduled appearance, Plethador comes to ringside and asks for the mic. The crowd is cheering wildly. He waves and does hints of his Plethador Shuffle. He then motions for the crowd to quiet down a bit.

PLETHADOR: Thank you, thank you good people. You know, I completely understand that pressure inherent in being the Galaxy’s most charismatic athlete.

Crowd cheers loudly.

PLETHADOR: I know. I know. Thank you. You know, one of my responsibilities is to come out here and entertain the pants of you people. Settle down ladies.

Crowd laughs.

PLETHADOR: And I think on the last episode of SUPERNOVA: CHALLENGE, I did just that. I wrestled what might have been the match of my career.

Loud cheer from the crowd.

PLETHADOR: But you know what? I didn’t do it alone. I had some...help. And I like to bring the person who helped me out here now. Scimitar, get out here.

Huge cheer from the crowd, they are eager to see where Plethador is going with this. Scimitar does not make his way out of the locker room.

PLETHADOR: Oh now, come on, get out here buddy. Come on folks, don’t you want to see my good friend Scimitar out here?

Crowd cheers louder. Scimitar appears at the top of the ramp. He looks skeptical but his arrival gets him probably the biggest cheer of his career.

PLETHADOR: There he is. There he is. Hey pal. Now look, I know we’ve been feuding for years. And I know we’re on opposite teams here on this Infinity Challenge thing. But even you, my sworn enemy, have to admit, we captured some lightening in a bottle out here last time. Didn’t we folks?

Huge cheer from the crowd. Scimitar stands with his arms crossed, but he does give a slight nod.

PLETHADOR: So here’s what I’m proposing, Scimitar. I’m proposing we go ask Abbadaz and Diddleus...wait...Albius and Diadacticus...Alioicious and Dinecticus? Oh, you know the two guys running this whole rigamarole....

Crowd laughs.

PLETHADOR: I propose we go ask those two guys, if you can I can come out here and do what we did last time on a grander scale.

Scimitar looks at Plethador, obviously not quite understanding.

PLETHADOR: I propose that you and I, as part of the Infinity Challenge have our very own Fatal Showdown!

Crowd cheers loudly at this.

PLETHADOR: That’s right. That’s right. Except fatal is a bit too extreme a word I think. I mean heck, Wolf and Monolith had a Fatal Showdown last year and they are both still alive. Well, Monolith’s hanging in there, but you know what I’m saying. So anyway, long story short, Plethador vs. Scimitar, as part of the Infinity Challenge, in a NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN!

Crowd cheers loudly! They are eating this up.

PLETHADOR: So what do you say Scimmy? Heck I’ll even let that last match count as your first victory! I’m one behind. Eeeek! Of course, we have to clear it with Amos and Dandy, first, but if they say, “Yes.” What says you?

The crowd falls silent as all eyes fall on Scimitar. Scimitar looks directly at Plethador. He smirks. Then, slowly, he nods his head yes!

The crowd ERRUPTS! Plethador raises his arms and THE ONE’S IN THE WATER begins to play and Plethador breaks into his shuffle! Scimitar shakes his head and walks back stage! Plethador leaves the ring, high webbing fans as he makes his way back stage. Everyone is wondering with Abroz and Dialectus will allow this Non-Fatal Challenge!

MAIN EVENT
Bloodline d. Tricks via DQ when Tricks refuses to bring the action back into the ring. - *1/2 - Tricks, eager to get the win for his team, gets a little wild and winds up getting DQ’d. Bloodline was obviously a little frustrated at his first solo outing since the breakup of DIVIDED WE FALL.

Tonight’s scores:

ABROZ: 5
DIALECTUS: 2

Abroz’s win gives his team an extra point and brings the total scores to...

ABROZ: 10
DIALECTUS: 6

In just one night, Abroz’s team goes from being down by two to ahead by four! After the scores are revealed, we cut back to Abroz and Dialectus.

DIALECTUS: My friend it seems you’ve jumped ahead.

ABROZ: Proving that intuition is not dead.

DIALECTUS: Logic though will soon gain ground.

ABROZ: Perhaps that we’ll see, next time ‘round.

The two beings nod at each other.

ABROZ: And now mortals, we say farewell.

DIALECTUS: We shall return soon with more of the...

BOTH: Infinity Challenge.

They nod again to each other as we...

FADE TO BLACK

[toasterboy]

From Demios Intergalactic Arena.

OPENING MONTAGE

We cut to STARS & STRIPES

AMERICAN GUY: Whoa ho! Look who’s here!

U.S. MALE: That’s right, functioning better than ever, it’s STARS & STRIPES and tonight we’ve got a one night reprieve from the Infinity Challenge and we aren’t wasting it!

AMERICAN GUY: Turmoil, Rush, prepare to have your reign abruptly ended by STARS & STRIPES!

U.S. MALE: Your soon to be new Galaxian Tag Team Champions!

We cut to THE GLADIATORS

Rush & Turmoil stare at the camera, the belts over their shoulders. They say nothing.

We cut to the cosmic beings Abroz and Dialectus.

ABROZ: The Infinity Challenge continues even tonight.

DIALECTUS: And so continues the game between logic and intuition.

ABROZ: Tonight out teams will meet in matches, three.

DIALECTUS: The winners of which we soon will see.

The two beings turn and nod at each other.

We cut to Sultana.

SULTANA: Mother Fraud, I’m getting sick and tired of seeing that belt around your waist! It’s about time I took it from you. And how about that mask as well. Tonight, Mother Superior, you...will...lose.

We cut to Mother Superior.

MOTHER SUPERIOR: How many times do I have to beat you? How many times do I have to hit you with the Serpents of Hydra and pin you for the one...two...three? Tonight, I’m going to make it, the last time.

We cut Havoc & Anivar.

ANIVAR: Ha ha! Tonight Paralyze, I get my hands on you and it is not going to be pretty because this time I’ve got back up!

HAVOC: Overmaster, scores will be settled tonight and when the dust clears Aethra may just have a brand new leader.

Both laugh.

We cut to Paralyze and Aethran Overmaster.

PARALYZE: Anivar. It’s so easy to be tough isn’t it? All you need to do is use a needle and some ink on your fingers and you’re an instant tough guy. Mark my words Anivar, by the end of tonight, we’ll see how tough you really are.

OVERMASTER: Havoc. You are nothing but a bug that I will silence tonight.

We cut to Paganax.

PAGANAX: Endgame, again you avoid me. You run like a frightened child. That’s fine. I’ll go through yet another of your teammates. If I have to go through ever single wrestler in this fed to get to you. I will! Endgame, you are my goal.

We cut to Tauran holding the Interplanetary Belt.

TAURAN: Paganax, your biggest mistake is not focusing on what’s immediately in front of you! Mainly, me. I’ve never been in better shape and my years of experience are going to lead to one thing...your downfall!

We cut to Patch.

PATCH: Payback, I’m sick and tired of hearing everyone saying how hardcore you are. Tonight you step into my world, the streets! Tonight you’re going to commit suicide! STREET SUICIDE!

We cut to Payback.

PAYBACK: Patch, when I’m through with you tonight, you’ll need a patch on both sides of your head! A Street Suicide match may be ‘your’ match but when the action goes outside the ring, you step into MY world! The world of hardcore PAIN!

We cut to Retribution.

RETRIBUTION: Ha! Tonight is my night! My once in a lifetime chance to win the Galaxian Championship. And the icing on the cake it means I will finally be getting my hands on you Drury. Time to get a little RETRIBUTION for the way you treated me last year! Ha ha haaa!

We cut to Sly Drury.

DRURY: Retribution, you have a title shot tonight for one reason. I run this fed. Last year I had to listen to you whine and basically give me a headache when you were a part of Martial Law. Tonight I have free reign to chop you down to size and put you in your place and remind you who is in charge. You? Galaxian Champion? Heh. Right.

THe opening theme plays and we cut down to the ring and the crowd is standing for tonight’s card!

INFINITY CHALLENGE MATCH #1
Shann-Ra d. She-Devil via pinfall with MACHETE. - ***1/2 - A great opening match and Abroz picks up two points for his team.

INFINITY CHALLENGE MATCH #2
LIFTOFF d. FRONTAL ASSAULT vial pinfall after I CAN SEE YOU. - *1/4 - The young team of Mantis and Tristan pick up a huge win against FRONTAL ASSAULT and pick up two points for Dialectus.

INFINITY CHALLENGE MATCH #3
Bloodline d. Tricks via DQ after Tricks whips Bloodline into the guardrail against the referee’s warnings. - ***1/2 - A wild brawl breaks out after the bell and members of both Infinity Challenge teams ran out to separate the two.

Once things are settled down the holo-screen flashed the final tally for the night for the night...

ABROZ: 3
DIALECTUS: 2

Because this is not a full night of Infinity Challenge action, there are no bonus points for winning the night. So this makes the current scores...

ABROZ: 13
DIALECTUS: 10

This wraps up the Infinity Challenge portion of the evening and now we move onto our other matches but first we cut to...

LEGENDS OF THE RING LOCKER ROOM

We see Hector talking to the members of Legends Of The Ring.

HECTOR: Payback, tonight is a must win.

PAYBACK: Not a problem. I can handle Patch. This is my type of match.

HECTOR: Good. Sultana, it goes without saying that you winning the belt tonight would help things along.

SULTANA: That belt is as good as mine. Tonight I’m not accepting anything less than a win.

HECTOR: That’s the spirit. And I will take out dispatch of the nuisance Nosfera that Drury sent after me. We’re all set then.

A suddenly chair slams against the lockers. The camera pulls back to show SWARM in HECTOR’S face.

SWARM: We’re all set?! We’re all set?! This is unbelievable. Once again, I’m NOT on the card!

HECTOR: It’s not part--

SWARM: Don’t you DARE give me that PLAN crap! I’m sick to death of it!

HECTOR: When you joined this team you agreed to follow my plans to take down Drury.

SWARM: So far I’ve been doing a whole lot of nothing! And again tonight I’m doing a whole lot of NOTHING!

HECOTR: After tonight my roadmap will be more clear. I wish I could tell you more but with Drury’s spies everywhere. I can’t risk it getting out.

SWARM: So again, we have to blindly trust you but you don’t have the decency to trust us in return. How is that being a ‘team’?

HECTOR: You just have...

SWARM: Don’t...say...it. You are on THIN ice...bear.

HECTOR: Understood...bee. In time all shall be revealed.

There is a few tense moments in the room. After a moment, we cut back to the ring for our next match.

TITAN DEATH MATCH
Phantasy d. Strafe via pinfall with SWEET SUICIDE. - ***1/2 - A brutal match, but Phantasy pulls out the win.

Bishop Hell (II) d. Ensor via pinfall after HELLFIRE. - * - Bishop Hell (II) easily took care of Ensor in this short match.

SLY DRUY’S LUXURY BOX OFFICE

We cut to Drury’s office where the Commissioner is talking to Overmaster.

DRURY: It’s just not done. The Galaxian Champion always wrestles in the main event.

OVERMASTER: Not tonight. Tonight my grudge match with Paralyze versus Havoc and Anivar goes last.

DRURY: ...The main event is always...

OVERMASTER: You’ve hand picked your opponent. You’re wrestling Retribution because you know you can beat him. As co-commissioner I say the match that will be the most explosive, closes the show.

Drury stares up at Overmaster.

OVERMASTER: Unless you’d like me, as co-commissioner, to choose a new opponent for you to wrestle in the main event. A bear perhaps?

DRURY: No, no. Fine. Your match will close the card. But it better be as explosive as you say.

OVERMASTER: Trust me. It will be. I want to go over a few more details for it though.

DRURY: Like what?

OVERMASTER: Like your Security Squad. As co-commissioner, I can give them marching orders correct?

Drury stares up at Overmaster.

DRURY: What do you have in mind.

Before Overmaster can speak, we cut back down to ringside for our next match.

TITAN DEATH MATCH
Nosfera d. Hector The Holy Brown Bear via pinfall with the SPRING HEEL KICK. - ** - Nosefera handled Hector pretty easily in this one on one match surprising many by not resorting to his DEMON’S BREATH though it’d be legal.

After the match we cut back to the LEGENDS OF THE RING Locker Room and Swarm watches on a monitor and shakes his head.


STREET SUICIDE MATCH
Patch d. Payback via pinfall with WALK THE WALK. - ***** - An amazing match. Both men tore into each other in and out of the ring. Bother were a bloody mess by the end of the match. Patch hit Walk The Walk after Payback missed a Suicide Dive out of the ring to pick up the win!

GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Mother Superior and Sultana battle to a DOUBLE DQ when the two of them spill out of the ring and refuse to stop tearing into each other. - DUD - Mother Superior retains her belt but this rivalry is FAR from over!

GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Paganax d. Tauran via pinfall with PAGAN VOID. - ** - Paganax just completely destroys Tauran to become the new GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION! The ref handed Paganax the belt and he just threw it down and went to the nearest camera and screamed into it.

PAGANX: Endgame! There’s no one left! You...are...next!

GWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
GLADIATORS d. STARS & STRIPES pinfall when Turmoil pins American Guy after CHAOS IN THE CROWD. - *3/4 - Rush and Turmoil easily dispatch of STARS AND STRIPES in their first title defense. The two men celebrate by holding the belts aloft. Rush grabs the mic.

RUSH: The Aethran era of dominance is well underway. This, is only the beginning.

GWF GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Sly Drury d. Retribution via pinfall with the BACK STABBER. - *1/2 - Drury takes easy advantage of Retribution after a thumb to the eye. Drury retains his GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

It’s time now for the Main Event! Anivar and Havoc are out first to huge cheers. Aethran Overmaster and Paralyze hit the ring in full war regalia. Including Rylock Axes and large ceremonial war daggers. The ref spent extra time making sure the two were completely weaponless before the match began.

MAIN EVENT
Aethran Overmaster & Paralyze d. Anivar and Havoc by pinfall when Paralyze hit Anivar with PERMANENTLY PARALYZED. - **** - This one was wild from the start seeing both the SLEEPER CELL and ULTIMATE FIGHTERS interfere. The ref sent all from ringside and the match continued back and forth until Paralyze hit Anivar with his finisher and got the win.

After the bell rang to end the match, Overmaster threw Havoc out of the ring and into the guardrails. He then took a chair and smacked Havoc, full force, with a chair, knocking him out cold. He threw the chair into the ring where Paralyze was set up to perform another PERMANENTLY PARALYZED and he did so right onto the chair! Anivar was out too.

The ULTIMATE FIGHTERS charge ringside but were blind sided out of nowhere by Rush and Turmoil who brawled with the two at the end of the aisle. The champs slammed Shoot and Clinch into the guardrails and began smashing them with chairs, knocking them out cold as well. Paralyzed yelled some instructions to Strafe who looked under the ring for two long sets of chained shackles and she threw them up into the ring to Paralyze and the Overmaster who now joined him standing above Anivar.

The two took the shackles and bound Anivar’s legs. They tossed the ends to Strafe who wrapped them around the ringpost. They then shackled Anivar’s wrists together and Strafe tied those ends to the ringpost diagonal from the other one. Anivar was now chained, face down, with his legs shackled and his wrists shackled above his head.

Overmaster stood towering above Anivar and nodded to Paralyze who left the ring and grabbed the microphone and one of the ceremonial war daggers and stalked back into the ring.

Paralyze handed over the mic to Overmaster.

OVERMASTER: Anivar. The Enforcer. Didn’t do much ‘enforcing’ tonight did you? In fact, you fell, weakly to the full might of Aethra. You know on Aethra if you aren’t as tough as you claim to be, you get punished. So that’s what shall happen tonight.

Overmaster looks down and steps on the backs of Anivar’s wrists, flattening Anivar’s hands on the mat. He holds the mic out for Paralyze to speak.

PARALYZE: Anivar! Marking your fingers with a needle and ink does NOT make you tough. You show you are tough by actually being tough. On Aethra we wear war paint when we go into battle. This is done on ceremony. We could easily go into battle without it and still be as dominating. You think these primitive marks on your fingers make people intimidated of you because you spent a little time getting a needle repeatedly jammed into your fingers. Tattoos prove nothing. It takes bold actions to prove you’re tough. Bold actions such as this.

Overmaster dropped the mic as Paralyze dropped to his knees. Overmaster leaned forward putting more pressure on Anivar’s wrists, flattening out Anivar’s hands on the mat even more. Paralyze grabbed the fingers on the right hand of Anivar, and pushed them all together. He slowly pressed the blade down into the flesh of Anivar’s fingers right beneath the letters of Anivar’s tattoos. This brings Anivar to imeediately and he begins screaming in complete agony. The Overmaster steps down harder on his wrists and the delivers a swift kick to the side of Anivar’s head knocking him cold again.

Paralyze drags the knife up Anivar’s fingers, essentially filleting the skin off the bone. Once he slices under the length of the letters he withdraws the blade and slices down near the top of the letters slicing the skin free from the bone. Paralyze places each piece of skin in a small pouch. Blood pours out of Anivar’s hand.

At this point, four members Sleeper Cell charge down the aisle and suddenly from behind them several shots ring out and the Sleeper Cell members drop suddenly, stunned by unseen stun guns from around the arena. Swarm and Ensor charge the ring as well and are immediately stunned as they appear.

Paralyze momentarily looks up, then back down and slides the fingers on Anivar’s left hand together. He places the knife blade down on the bottom of the letters on the left hand and drives the blade in to the bone. He again moves the blade in a sawing motion under the letter, again filleting the skin to the bone. He then finishes the surgery by severing the flesh and placing the pieces of skin in the pouch which which is now, like the mat under Anivar’s hands, drenched with blood. The crowd is sickly silent with these actions.

Paralyze stands and looks at Overmaster who removes his foot from Anivar’s wrists. The two begin laughing. The crowd violently begins to boo them. Paralyze pulls the draw stings of the pouch closed and attaches it to his belt. He looks down at Anivar and yells at him “Who’s the ‘enforcer’ now Anivar?” Paralyze wipes the knife on his leg and he and Overmaster exit the ring and join Strafe. As they exit they turn and look at Havoc out cold. They join Rush and Turmoil at the end of the aisle and they all exit the arena.

The camera zooms in on the bloodied hands of Anivar, wet, raw, bone exposed as we...

FADE TO BLACK

[toasterboy]

From Demios Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

FADE IN

(We open with a close up of Anivar. He is lying in a hospital bed, motionless. His hands are submerged in healing tanks on either side of the bed. Anivar's head is heavily bandaged. Tubes run his arms and head. A faint beeping can be heard from the heart scanner.)

SUPER: Earlier Today

(The camera pulls back to show us that we are looking at this image on a holoscreen in the press room at the arena. BENJAMIN PAGE stands at the podium.)

PAIGE: Ladies and Gentlemen, fans of the GWF. This morning we have an update on the condition of Anivar, plus a statement on the actions that will be taken as a result of this attack. First, to update you all on the condition of Anivar, here is co-commissioner of the GWF...ahem...the Aethran Overmaster.

(There is a disgusted murmur that runs through the press room as Overmaster comes out the door and steps to the mic. Overmaster looks around, enjoying the uncomfortable tension in the room.)

OVERMASTER: As you can see by this footage shot earlier today from a hospital on Equuleus, Anivar has sustained major injuries. He is currently listed in critical condition and is in a medically induced coma. (Overmaster cracks a sickening smile.) Doctors estimate he will be out of action until 2126 at the earliest. You will be updated should his status change.

(Overmaster steps away from the mic. Paige steps forward.)

PAIGE: And here to speak on the disciplinary actions to be taken as a result of this attack, Commissioner Drury.

(Drury comes out of the doorway and steps to the mic.)

DRURY: Thank you. I will make a brief statement then will take a few questions. Please understand we have an event tonight so time is scarce, but we wanted to address these matters. (He glances over at Overmaster.) The GWF Board of Directors does not, in anyway, condone the violence witnessed in the attack on Anivar at Stormfront. The entire board finds the actions of entire Gladiator team to be completely reprehensible. The Board has turned to me asking that I rule in whatever manner I see fit on this matter. (He again looks over at Overmaster.) The world of professional wrestling is a dangerous place. The attack we saw at Stormfront was violent in nature and steps will be taken ton attempt to ensure that nothing of the like happens again. After conferring with my co-commisioner, we've come to the decision that there will be no suspensions levied against the Gladiator team.

(The Press Corps is thrown in an uproar. Drury nervously steps back from the mic. The tidal wave of voices subsides a bit. Drury holds up his hands.)

DRURY (shouting above the voices): If you quiet down I will try to answer any questions. (He pauses.) Ladies and gentlemen, please, I...

(Suddenly a figure leaps out out of the Press seats and charges Overmaster. It's Havoc and he tears into Overmaster! The Security Squad leaps to separate the two as they brawl into the Press! They brawl towards a camera and it goes black.)

CUT TO:

Opening theme!

(We are in the jam packed Deimos Intergalactic Arena and the crowd is fired up! We cut right to the ring for the opening match.)

Retribution d. Coven Black via submission with GROUNDING THE DEMON. - ***1/2 - Solid match between these two, but Retribution's experience easily dispatches with Coven Black.

CUT TO:

COMMISSIONER DRURY'S LUXURY BOX OFFICE

(We see Sly Drury is talking to the Aethran Overmaster.)

OVERMASTER: I want Havoc! Tonight!

DRURY: Fine. You'll get him tonight. But I want to make one thing clear to you. You have no idea how much trouble I'm in with the Board over the little knuckle carving stunt you pulled at Stormfront.

OVERMASTER: I don't care.

DRURY: Yeah. You don't care. Well you will care when the board replaces me and both you and I wind up on some prison planet. All I'm saying is you need to chill out a bit.

OVERMASTER: You would be wise never to give me orders.

DRURY: Fine. But know this, the days of me giving you a free pass are over.

OVERMASTER: The only Gladiator here tonight besides me is Strafe. Nothing will happen.

(Drury stares at Overmaster.)

DRURY: You have Havoc.

(After this we're back to the ring for our next match.)

Encubus d. Thantos (II) by pinfall with SECOND COMING. - ****1/2 - Encubus scores a win in this feud between the two.

(After the match Encubus continued to attack Thantos (II) and Symbiosis ran out to help him! The two perform double deathjumps on Thantos (II). The Security Squad immediately hit the ring and cleared it. Damage was done though as Thantos (II) had to be helped from the ring.)

CUT TO:

LEGENDS OF THE RING LOCKER ROOM

(We see HECTOR, SWARM and PAYBACK watching Thantos (II) leaving the ring.)

HECTOR: Dammit! We don't need him injured!

PAYBACK: Doesn't look too bad. He shouldn't be out long.

HECTOR: He'd better not be.

(SWARM is stewing. He stares at Hector. Hector turns to look at him.)

HECTOR: Something you want to say?

(Swarm just stares at him.)

SWARM: Yeah. I want to know how things stand with your little 'plan'. The plan that's seen me sitting on the benches for WEEKS and you losing to Nosfera on the SuperCard!

HECTOR: Me beating Nosfera was never essential to the plan.

SWARM: What?! That doesn't make any sense! So losing to Nosfera was part of the plan?

HECTOR: No. The whole point of me taking on Nosfera was misdirection. Make Drury think my mind was elsewhere instead of solely focused on getting him in the ring.

SWARM: Oh that's convenient. Nice way to explain away your loss.

HECTOR: I'm not explaining away anything. I'm just saying a WIN over Nosfera wasn't essential to the plan. That being said though, the plan is not proceeding the way I'd like it to and that's because of your pal Payback here.

PAYBACK: What?!

HECTOR (to PAYBACK): Yeah. You were SUPPOSED to take care of Patch. Beat him. That WAS part of the plan. You told me that taking beating him would be easy and what happened?! You LOST! You FAILED Payback.

PAYBACK: You'd better watch how you talk to me.

HECTOR: Or what? You'll lose to me? You didn't do what you said you would do. I now have to push back the plan and modify it a bit. You're lucky that as a Cerebral Assassin, I have the smarts to roll with the punches, or failures, as it is.

PAYBACK: Well if taking out Patch is so important, let me go get him now.

HECTOR: No. You're done with Patch. The plan's changed.

SWARM (shakes his head): So what? You're going to go out and keep YOUR losing streak intact by losing to Patch now?

HECTOR: No, Swarm, I'm not going to face Patch. You are.

(Swarm stares at Hector.)

HECTOR: Tonight. And Swarm. You'd BETTER win.

(Hector turns to the door.)

HECTOR: Now if you gentlemen will excuse me. I'm going to go check on Thantos.

HECTOR leaves. Payback grabs a chair and throws it at the door as it closes.

PAYBACK: I swear to Titan, I've HAD it with that guy!

SWARM: Chill man, chill. He's got something in mind. Let's see where it all plays out.

PAYBACK (shakes his head in disbelief: Heh. All it takes is for him to throw you a bone and your tune changes right quick.

(Swarm puts a hand on Payback's shoulder.)

SWARM: No, my tune ain't changed. I just want to see how this all works out and at the end. When all is said and done, we don't like what we hear....we'll let's just say I'll fight you for a new bear skin rug.

(Payback looks at Swarm for a moment and nods. We head back to ringside for our next match.)

Aethran Overmaster d. Havoc via pinfall after REIGN OF THE OVERMASTER. - ***** - All the bad blood between these two poured out of them and onto the mat as these two went at it!

(After the closing bell, Overmaster left the ring, grabbed a chair and climbed back into the ring about to attack Havoc more. Suddenly Payback came charging down to ringside, waylaid Strafe and then hopped into the ring and blindsided Overmaster! Havoc recovered and began helping his former partner attack Overmaster! The crowd went nuts as Havoc and Payback give Overmaster a double clothesline, then Havoc hit FALLEN DREAMS on Overmaster three times! The Security Squad then charged the ring and Havoc and Payback bailed and left through the crowd before they could begin firing their stun guns.

Once they left, Security Squad called for the medics who attended to Overmaster, under the strict guidance of the glaring Strafe.)

CUT TO:

INTERVIEW AREA

(Clinch and Shoot are here for an interview.)

SHOOT: Ooooooh I'm fired up Clinch!

CLINCH: You and me both, Shoot! We're fired up 'cause of those no good Gladiators, Rush and Turmoil!

SHOOT: You said it Clinch! You see, even though they weren't in the ring or do anything directly to Anivar, we're holding them responsible.

CLINCH: Got that right Shoot! So that's why we're calling you out right here and now Gladiators! We want you in the ring! Tonight!

SHOOT: That's right Shoot! We're not going--

(Suddenly a voice is heard off camera.)

VOICE: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold your horses there tough guys...

(Camera pans back to reveal STARS & STRIPES.)

AMERICAN GUY (Continuing): ...you don't get to waltz right in here and get yourselves a shot at the champs.

U.S. MALE: Look, we understand your anger at what happened to Anivar, but unfortunately, the Gladiatos are the champs and you have to be number one contenders to get to fight them.

AMERICAN GUY: You guys have only had one match, for pete's sake!

U.S. MALE: Okay, calm down, Guy. What we'd like to help you out tonight by giving you the kind of competition you're going to need to get to the top.

AMERICAN GUY: Yeah. You're going to need to get past us to get to them. Just the way it works.

CLINCH: So if I'm hearing these guys right Shoot, I'm hearing that they want to fight us tonight.

SHOOT: I think you're right Clinch. I think that's what they're saying. Well, we'll gladly take you up on that offer, won't we Clinch?

CLINCH: You betcha' Shoot, because me and you are the Ultimate FIghters and the Ulimate Fighters are...

BOTH: FIGHTIN’ TOUGH!!

(The four men stare down each other as we cut back to the ring.)

Swarm d. Patch via a deathjump to the huge delight of the crowd. - **** - Great match between these two but Swarm really dominated.

(After the match Swarm posed on all four corners as the crowd began to chant.)

CROWD: Swarm is awesome! Swarm is awesome!

(Swarm soaked it all up and spent time giving as many fans as possible high fives as he left the ring.)

ULTIMATE FIGHTERS d. STARS & STRIPES via submission when Clinch took out U.S. Male with a guillotine choke. - * - Clinch and Shoot tore through the much more veteran tag team to pick up a dominating win.

(After the match the Ultimate FIghters both grabbed mics.)

SHOOT: Rush! Turmoil! We're coming for you, right Clinch?

CLINCH: RIght Shoot! Gladiators, you're about to find out the true meaning off...

BOTH: FIGHTING TOUGH!

(They clear the ring and unannounced, Tauran heads to the ring and picks up a mic.)

TAURAN: Paganax, you took something very precious to me. My Interplanetary Championship. Now I do get a rematch and I aim to collect on that. But before that I want to prove to you and all these people watching here tonight, that I can beat you. So what I propose is that you get your big red butt out here and face me, one on one, non-title so I can prove it!

(The crowd cheers loudly! Suddenly Paganax appears at the top of the ramp.)

PAGANAX: You are but an insect to the likes of a chief. But if squashing you once more gets me to Endgame, so be it. But where as last time I showed mercy by finishing you off quickly, this time I shall make you suffer.

(Paganax charges the ring and the bell rings for the match to start!)

NON-TITLE MATCH
Tauran d. Paganax via pinfall with a VIctory Star Drop! - ** - Tauran hands Paganax his first loss and frustrates the Pagan Chief to no end! Tuaran grabbed the mic as he left the ring...

TAURAN: Hey, Paganax. Next time, I'm taking my belt back.

(Paganx slammed the mat with his fists as he watch Tauran leave to the cheers of the crowd. When Paganax finally left, it was time for our main event.)

GWF WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
TITAN DEATH RULES MATCH
Mother Superior d. Sultana via pinfall with the SERPENTS OF HYDRA - ***1/4 - Mother Superior easily handles Sultana to retain her GWF WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP!

(Mother Superior grabbed the mic afterwards.)

MOTHER SUPERIOR: I've kicked you to the curb just like Encubus did your phony Thantos. Sultana, you are done wrestling for this belt!

(Mother Superior dropped the mic, grabbed her belt and headed to the back to a chorus of boos!)

CUT TO:

LANDING PAD BEHIND THE ARENA

(We see Overmaster being loaded onto a transport to Aethra. His head is wrapped tightly. A medic is administering painkillers. Strafe grabs the needle and throws them across the landing pad.)

STRAFE: No! No painkillers! It's a sign of weakness!

OVERMASTER: She is right. I must embrace the pain!

(Sly Drury walks up to them.)

DRURY: How you doing?

OVERMASTER: Drury! Make them pay! You hear me Drury?! Make Havoc and Payback pay!

DRURY: Now, I told you that matters were such with the Board after what you guys did to Anivar, that my course is to be careful with each action I take. My hands are tied.

OVERMASTER (gritting his teeth in pain): What are you saying Drury?

DRURY: What I'm saying is...no suspensions for Havoc and Payback.

OVERMASTER: What?!

DRURY: You want to met out justice, in the ring, when you return I can allow it, but if I didn't suspend you, how can I suspend them.

(Overmaster growls with rage and punches out a medic checking his bandages.)

DRURY: Get well. Upon your return vengeance will be yours.

The medics scramble to get Overmaster into the transport as he bellows with rage!

FADE TO BLACK

[toasterboy]

CARD #2125.122 – SUPERNOVA: CHALLENGE! – 04.14.2125

From Demios Intergalactic Arena, Demios

FADE IN

We see the two cosmic beings ABROZ and DIALECTUS. They bow to the camera.

ABROZ: Welcome mortals to another evening of Infinity Challenge competition.

DIALECTUS: As of now my brethren Abroz is ahead in points.

ABROZ: But anything can happen my friend and at any moment the score could change.

The two turn to each other and nod.

DIALECTUS: Indeed especially as tonight we add in two more elements to the challenge.

ABROZ: Yes. The first is we have responded to the proposition by competitor Plethador.

DIALECTUS: Yes, a proposition to allow him and fellow competitor Scimitar to compete in a rather unique competition.

ABROZ: A 'Non-Fatal' Showdown. A series of specialty matches to decide who is the better of the two.

DIALECTUS: Indeed and we have have responded to the proposition in the affirmative.

ABROZ: The match back in January between the two will be counted putting Scimitar up 1-0.

DIALECTUS: All future matches will be, as you mortals call them, 'stipulation matches.'

ABROZ: Selected one by one by Dialectus and I and tonight's selection is a Castor Chain Match.

DIALECTUS: Yes and we'll add in a special bonus for winning streaks in the 'Non-Fatal' Showdown.

ABROZ: Bonus points for winning consecutive matches, putting even more importance on these two competitors in the terms of the Infinity Challenge.

The two turn and nod to each other.

DIALECTUS: Tonight we shall also have our first 'stipulation' match between two competitors who have developed a feud.

ABROZ: Bloodline and Tricks in a Cosmic Cage.

DIALECTUS: For these stipulation matches Abroz and I will judges the two competitors.

ABROZ: Winners will still receive their points for winning but based on performance in the match BOTH competitors are eligible for bonus points!

DIALECTUS: Yes, allowing even the loser of the bout to pick up points for his team.

ABROZ: All in the name of competition.

The two turn and nod to each other.

DIALECTUS: And now it is time to witness tonight's competitions and see if intuition will continue to rule.

ABROZ: Or if logic will overtake the lead.

The two nod to each other and then nod to the camera. We cut down to the ring for our first match.

Rotunda d. Dealiest via pinfall with FAT LADY SINGS picking a huge win for Dialectus' team. (+2) - ** - Rotunda danced around the ring after her win! Gryt rolled into the ring and they celebrated with a huge kiss. Gryt then grabbed the mic.

GRYT: Tonight, to celebrate the win by my lovely lady here, I promise you all a huge victory in my match as well!

Gryt and Rotunda continued to celebrate until the officials brought out the twenty foot long Castor Chain for the big Non-Fatal Showdown match!

NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN MATCH #2
CASTOR CHAIN MATCH
Plethador d. Scimitar via submission with the SUCTION CLAW in a super quick match grabbing points for Abroz. (+2 - No bonus points awarded due to the quick nature of the match.) - *1/2 - Plethador celebrated wildly after picking up the win! He dove out of the ring to high-five those at ringside, completely forgetting the chain still attached to his neck! He reached the end of the slack and was slammed back down to the mat at ringside! Both Plethador and Scimitar slowly get back to their feet and then spend a good 5 minutes trying to work out how to untangle themselves from the ring ropes and turnbuckle posts. Much to the delight of the crowd.

With the win, Plethador ties the Non-Fatal Challenge at one to one.

Once they are cleared the ring Oracle made his way down and grabbed a mic.

ORACLE: Betrayer. I have consulted the Four Winds of Manaksass for your future. The outlook. The outlook is not good. Not good at all. They say that by the end of our match tonight, your face will run red with the life force that flows through your veins.

After that ominous prediction, Betrayer made his way down to the ring.

Betrayer d. Oracle via pinfall with BLACK BETRAYAL picking up more points for Abroz (+2) - **1/2 - Betrayer was in control the entire match and at no time did he bleed as Oracle had predicted. After the match Betrayer picked up the mic.

BETRAYER: So, uh Oracle, these four winds you consulted...you sure they weren't the four winds that emanated from behind Rotunda after a spicy meal? Because them winds...they was wrong!

The crowd went wild at this and Betrayer left the ring area. Afterwards we cut back to the backstage area where we see Tricks.

TRICKS: Bloodline. You have the years. The experience. You've been there. Done that. But tonight, within the confines of a Cosmic Cage, I'm going to take you to a place you've never been. I'm going to take you to the sickest corners of my mind. Thinking about it, the Cosmic Cage is a lot like the darkest corners of my mind. You see in there, bad things...VERY bad things happen. And there's absolutely...no...escape. Ha ha ha haHA HA HA HAHA haaa Ha ha haaaaaa!

Tricks continues to laugh as we cut back up to the ring for our next match.

Vidtek d. Nitro via pinfall with BIG TIME in a very one-sided match giving Abroz another victory to add to his total. (+2) - ** - Vidtek celebrated after the victory and shook hands with those at ringside.

Gryt d. Tanck via submission with the STORNGMAN STRETCH in a what has to be a huge upset, but one that will give Dialectus much needed points. (+2) - *1/2 - What a hugh shocker! Rotunda and Gryt celebrated as Tanck just shook his head. He couldn't believe he'd just tapped out to his former partner in the middle of the ring. Tanck slammed the mat with his fists and stormed out of the ringside area and Gryt and Rotunda continued to celebrate.

We left the celebration to go backstage where Bloodline is standing staring at the camera.

BLOODLINE: Every GWF athlete, whether they are a first year rookie or a grizzled veteran, has one thing in common. Every night, when they head out to that ring, they have to prove themselves. Tonight, I will prove myself in one of the most dangerous matches devised. The Cosmic Cage. Unfortunately Tricks, you have the undeniable misfortune of being the man I need to beat to prove myself, to prove my place in this fed, my place in this insane Infinity Challenge. Tricks, tonight I get to prove myself against you in a match where anything goes. I'm willing to do anything to win. To prove myself. Are you?

We leave Bloodline and head back to the ring.

LEADERS OF THE PACK d. LIFTOFF when Panther Warrior surprised Mantis with a sunset flip out of nowhere giving Abroz another win. (+2) - SQUASH - Mantis' inexperience came shining through in this match against his former teammates when Panther Warrior was able to take him out in only three moves. It will be interesting to see if this lights a fire under LIFTOFF going forward.

MAIN EVENT
COSMIC CAGE MATCH
Tricks d. Bloodline after hitting Bloodline with the COULOROPHOBIA (pinfall) and escaping the cage. This gave Dialectus another win. (+2) - ** - A short match. Bloodline showed some good offense, but it seems the Cosmic Cage is a match made for a wrestler like Tricks who used the very cage itself to pick up the win. After the match, an announcement had been made that Abroz and DIalectus would be awarding Trick one bonus point for his victory, giving Dialectus' team an extra boost. They also announced that due to the limited offense Bloodline showed, he would receive no bonus points.

This brings the final scores for the evening to...

ABROZ: 8
DIALECTUS: 7

Abroz wins the night by a slim margin and gains an extra bonus point bringing the grand totals for the Infinity Challenge to...

ABROZ: 22
DIALECTUS: 17

After these scores are shown, we cut back up to Abroz and Dialectus themselves.

DIALECTUS: The margin of victory is close.

ABROZ: It is, but the year is long before us.

DIALECTUS: Logic has a habit of making up ground they say.

ABROZ: But in the end hunches will win the fray.

DIALECTUS: My dear friend it is far too soon to tell.

ABROZ: And with that, dear mortals, we do bid you, farewell.

The two nod to the camera as we...

CARD #2125.123 – INVASION – 05.07.2125

From Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

FADE IN

We are in the LEGENDS OF THE RING locker room. Hector The Holy Brown Bear, Swarm and Payback stand arguing. Mother Superior and Thantos (II) are not present.

HECTOR: …I don’t care. The Gladiators are not our focus! Our focus is Martial Law! You shouldn’t have got involved!

SWARM: He was doing what was right. What was honorable. Why can’t you grasp that?

PAYBACK: I was just supposed to stand by and let those animals do the same thing to Havoc they did to Anivar?

HECTOR: Listen, I get the honorable thing. But what you’ve done is put us on the Gladiator’s radar. You were involved in injuring the Aethran Overmaster! When he returns, he’s going to be gunning for you. Which means he’ll be taking you away from the plan.

SWARM: Aaaahhhh! The plan! This stupid mysterious plan you keep talking about! The plan that has me wrestling once in a blue moon. The plan that makes it ‘okay’ for you to LOSE! The plan keeps Payback from going out there to make sure a guy’s fingers, or worse, aren’t carved up! Tell us, Master Planner, what the plan for tonight? Am I wrestling?

HECTOR: No.

SWARM: Is Payback wrestling?

HECTOR: No.

SWARM: Let me guess, you get to go out there and maybe win or maybe lose.

HECTOR: I do wrestle tonight. And it’s a must win. In order for the plan to continue forth, I have to win.

SWARM: Well, good luck with that. I’m sure the ‘plan’ will change when you come back here after losing and say it was…

There is a pounding at the door. Hector opens it. It’s Paralyze. He see’s Payback and lunges at him! A wild brawl erupts in the locker room! Officials rush in and begin to try to separate them as we head to the ring for our opening bout.

MATCH #1
Nosfera d. Ensor via pinfall after DEMON’S BREATH. – *1/2 – Nosfera easily dispatches of Ensor in a short match. After the match Omen grabs the mic.

OMEN: Retribution. We’ve taken care of the runt of your team. Now it’s time for you to step forward so we can finish our personal business once and for all. Come to us or we come to you.

As they leave the ring it’s announced that Payback vs. Paralyze has been signed for later tonight.

MATCH #2
Hector The Holy Brown Bear d. Symbiosis via pinfall after I KNOW YOUR SECRET. – *** – Symbiosis takes Hector to the limit but the experience of Hector wins out over the newcomer. Great match for Symbiosis though. Shows what he’s capable of. Him and that…thing on his back. It came dislodged early on in the match and it seemed that even Hector was a bit skeeved out by it.

As Hector is getting his hand raised in the ring we cut up to Sly Drury’s luxury box office as he watches Hector below. He speaks to himself.

DRURY: Yes. Celebrate. Enjoy your moment. Enjoy the feeling that comes with thinking you have some measure of advantage over me. You do not. You, simply, do not. The day is coming soon my friend when you will realize that any advantage you think you have is crumbling below you like cliffs worn away by the wind. You do NOT have the upperhand. I. Run. This. Fed.

He downs a shot of whiskey.

We cut back down to the ring for our next match. Paralyze made a big show of coming to the ring with the blood encrusted pouch which, presumably, held the pieces of Anivar’s skin in it. He handed it to Strafe before the match. Payback charged the ring and the bell rang!

MATCH #3
Payback d. Paralyze via pinfall after the EXVENGE. – ***** – Holy cow! Explosive! This was a crazy free for all that many thought for sure would end in a DQ but it did not. At one point in the middle of the match, several members of Sleeper Cell appeared at the top of the ramp. They had ‘A’ armbands around their right arms. They stood at the top of the ramp during the match. Paralyze was instantly preoccupied with them. They did not interfere at all. They just stood there staring at Paralyze. This gave Payback an opening to take control and he took it, winning the match. Afterwards, Sleeper Cell began advancing to the ring slowly, brandishing their crowbars, bats and chains. Paralyze slips out of the ring and grabs the pouch from Strafe and then vaults a ring barrier and head off into the crowd. Sleeper Cell watches him leave. They stare down Strafe for a moment until Dark Menace and Phantasy appear and Dark Menace motions for them to leave.

MATCH #4
Strafe d. Phantasy via pinfall with GROUND ZERO. – *1/2 – Strafe makes short work of Phantasy, much to the dismay of Dark Menace. Strafe spit on Phantasy as she lay on the mat and left ringside.

Endgame made his return to the ring to the cheers of those in attendance. He took the mic.

ENDGAME: I know I’ve been away for awhile. I apologize, but I’m here to let you all know, and this goes for anyone in the back who may have been wondering. Endgame is back! And I’m ready to take on ALL comers. So if…

Suddenly Bishop Hell (II)’s music hit and he headed to ringside tossing a fireball back and forth between each hand, staring a hole through Endgame. Obviously still mad at his loss last time against the hero.

MATCH #5
Endgame d. Bishop Hell (II) via submission with the ROLLING FIGURE FOUR. – SQUASH – Endgame beat Bishop Hell quicker than last time much to the delight of the crowd. Just as his hand was raised in victory, Paganax stormed the ring and a huge brawl between the two broke out. The crowd was going nuts. Soon members of the FDF and the ROUGE’S GALLERY ran to ringside to break these two up! Harsh words were exchanged between the two teams as they separated! The crowd loved every minute of it! As they were exiting, Paganax grabbed the mic.

PAGANAX: Tauran. Tonight, the Chief will treat you as I will treat Endgame when we meet!

MATCH #6
GWF GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
NON-TITLE MATCH
GLADIATORS d. LIFTOFF by pinfall after Turmoil hits Mantis with a piledriver on the ramp. – SQUASH – To many this was a foregone conclusion before it began. The GLADIATORS were just to much for Tristan and Mantis. Rush grabbed the mic after the match.

RUSH: Clinch. Shoot. You want us, you got us. At Rings of Destruction! Prepare to taste defeat. Defeat that only the Gladiators can deliver!

MAIN EVENT
GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Tauran d. Paganax via pinfall after a VICTORY STAR DROP. – ****1/2 – Paganax was moments away from winning when Endgame charged the ring and delivered a huge clothesline behind the ref’s back! Tauran was in full control afterwards and was able to hit his finisher, get the win and recapture the INTERPLANETARY CHAMPIONSHIP. Paganax seemed to care less as he charged Endgame after the match and it was the sight of these two big men going at it that we see as we…

CARD #2125.124 – SUPERNOVA: CHALLENGE! – 05.20.2125

From Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

FADE IN

Abroz and Dialectus greet us with a deep bow.

ABROZ: Together again we are for another evening of competition.

DIALECTUS: The Infinity Challenge races forward nearing the halfway point.

ABROZ: A ballte of logic and intuition…

DIALECTUS: Woven into the very fabric of the cosmos.

The two bow to each other.

DIALECTUS: At this point in time Abroz’s team chosen with reason leads with 22 points.

ABROZ: While Dialectus’ team chosen by hunches is within striking distance at 17.

DIALECTUS: What will tonight’s battles bring.

ABROZ: To find out, let’s turn our gaze upon the ring.

MATCH#1
She-Devil d. Shann-Ra via pinfall after a handspring elbow. – *** – She-Devil picks up the win as well as two points for Abroz’s team.

MATCH #2
NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN MATCH #3
LEPUS STUN ROD MATCH
Scimitar d. Plethador via pinfall after a running spear. – *** – A decent match, but neither man used the stun rods!! Several times in the match, the lights went on but it was almost as if they both forgot what kind of match they were having and had to Regardless, the match itself was pretty action packed and both athletes looked good. In the end Scimitar picks up a win scoring two points for Dialectus’ team. Abroz and Dialectus then revealed their ‘judges’ scoring (as they do for ‘grudge’ or ‘special stipulation’ matches) and awarded both Scimitar and Plethador an extra point for each of their teams!

MATCH #3
The Betrayer d. Nitro via pinfall after BLACK BETRAYAL. – *1/2 – The Betrayer made short work of rookie Nitro in this, mostly one sided affair. The Betrayer picks up another two points for Abroz’s team.

We cut to a video package laying out some of the matches signed for the next big SuperCard…

RINGS OF DESTRUCTION!

We already know that THE GLADIATORS will be putting the GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS on the line against THE ULTIMATE FIGHTERS!

In addition, there will be three Infinity Challenge Matches on the card! Already signed…Bloodline vs. Gryt!

Also on the card, the long awaited, first meeting between Endgame and Paganax! This has all the makings of a classic!

In addition, Havoc will try to extract some revenge from Paralyze after the brutal and shocking attack on Anivar! Will the Sleeper Cell get involved as well? We shall see!

If you recall, Encubus put Thantos (II) out of action after a brutal, post match, sneak attack! Thantos (II) is back and looking for vengeance and he and Encubus will meet in a SUBMISSION MATCH! The only way to win is to make your opponent submit in the middle of the ring! Fans are eagerly awaiting this spectacular!

Int he title defense picture, Mother Superior will defend her GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP against Phantasy!

Commissioner Drury has ordered that Tauran will put his newly reclaimed GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPIONSHIP up against Patch!

And in the main event, having once again hand selected his opponent, Sly Drury will defend the GWF GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP against F.D.F. member Ensor! Though ranked nowhere near the #1 contender spot, this is the biggest moment so far in the career of this young rookie!

All this plus two other HUGE matches, coming your way at RINGS OF DESTRUCTION on June 20, 2125!

The crowd let out a huge cheer at the billboarding of this big upcoming event! Then it was back to the ring for more action!

MATCH #4
LEADERS OF THE PACK d. LIFTOFF when Malkuth pinned Mantis after hitting LORD OF THE POUNCE. – * – Panther Warrior and Malkuth have never worked better as a team. This was on the verge of being a squash, but LIFTOFF did get in some offense. One has to wonder how much longer they’ll be content being out of the main event picture due to being wrapped up in the Infinity Challenge. They pick up yet another two points for Abroz’s team.

Before the next match, Oracle made his way to ringside and asked for a mic.

ORACLE: Tonight ladies and Gentleman I have consulted with the spirits afterlife. They have told me the mat will run red with Vidtek’s blood in this next match. Those who may be squeemish, should turn a blind eye to the events that are about to unfold.

MATCH #5
Vidtek d. Oracle via pinfall after BIG TIME. – **1/2 – Oracle predicted blood and blood there was. Vidtek was cut open early. This just seemed to enrage him though and he tore into Oracle, hitting BIG TIME to get the win.

Afterwards Vidtek grabbed his mic and got in Oracle’s face.

VIDTEK: Didn’t predict that did you?! That’s a WRAP!

Oracle’s losing streak continues.

MATCH #6
STARS & STRIPES d. FRONTAL ASSAULT via pinfall when U.S. Male gave Thraxx and Zygon a knoggin knocker to pick up the win! – SQUASH – Talk about a tag team firing on all cylinders! American Guy and U.S. Male made lighting quick work out of finishing off Thraxx and Zygon! This is another team who probably yearns to be in the main event picture again. They pick up two, sorely needed, points for Dialectus’ team.

MAIN EVENT
Tanck d. Tricks via DQ when Tricks attempted to use COULROPHOBIA to win, but the ref saw it. – *1/2 – The crowd hotly anticipated this match-up between the two former Dark Carnival members. Tanck was worked up over his recent loss to Gryt and looked to take out his frustrations on Tricks. He had the upper hand and perhaps Tricks knew it as he went for the COULROPHOBIA in plain view of the ref and got the DQ loss. Tanck was furious and tried to go after Tricks but the mist had blinded him a bit so he was slowed down. Those in attendance could tell that Tanck would be seeking revenge soon.

At the end of the night, Abroz gets 10 points. Dialectus gets 5, giving Abroz the win and the extra bonus point for the night! This brings the grand totals to…

ABROZ: 31
DIALECTUS: 24

DIALECTUS: Still in the lead I see my firend.

ABROZ: I am, but our contest is far from it’s end.

DIALECTUS: You are ahead by a seven point range.

ABROZ: I am, but the competition is about to change.

The two smile at each other and bow. On this ominous note we…

CARD #2125.125 – RINGS OF DESTRUCTION – 06.20.2125

From Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

OPENING MONTAGE

We cut to Gryt, Scimitar and Tricks.

GRYT: Tonight is the night were those of us on Team Dialectus who are winners make up for the hole the rest of our team has put us in. Tonight there’ll be three wins in the DIalectus column!

SCIMITAR: Ha, ha yeah and one dried up fish.

GRYT: Actually, he’s an amphibian.

TRICKS: Shut up. Both of you. Tanck, our last match ended with you being partially blinded. Tonight, in a Hardcore Titan Death match, prepare to lose all sight! Heh. Heh heh. Heh heh heh heh. Ha ha haaaa!

Some liquid squirts out of Trick’s flower and a wicked smile crosses his face.

We cut to Paganax. He stares directly into the camera.

PAGANAX: Tonight the Chief gets his hands on the one prize that lured him to the GWF. Endgame. Tonight.

We cut to Thantos (II) and Sultana.

THANTOS (II): Tonight, I have to do something difficult. Something that no father wants to do, but must do when it’s needed. Tonight I must discipline my son. And in such a cruel way…a submission match. But when my son, my…(he begins to fake tearing up)…my own flesh and blood put me on the shelf…well, a father has to do what a father has to do.

Sultana puts a hand on Thantos (II) two’s shoulder in mock consolation. They both begin to laugh wildly.

We cut to Havoc.

HAVOC: Paralyze, what you and the Gladiators did to Anivar was unspeakable. It’s time to get some payback and remember…I am a Aethran. I KNOW payback. And I’m not alone…

Members of Sleeper Cell slide in behind Havoc and he begins to laugh.

We cut to THE ULTIMATE FIGHTERS.

SHOOT: Tonight we get to sink our fists into Rush and Turmoil, right Clinch?

CLINCH: That’s right Shoot! I hope they are prepared because when you step into the ring with us you need to quickly realize that we are a specialized brand of fighters. Huh, Shoot.

SHOOT: You said it Clinch! Once you’re at the end of my fists and the recipient of one of Clinch’s holds you’re going to quickly realize that the Ultimate Fighters are…

BOTH: FIGHTIN’ TOUGH!

They both flex and do their trademark arm movements.

We cut to Sly Drury with the GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP BELT.

SLY DRURY: Ensor. You’ve been impressive. To be truthful, your record has been lousy, but you moves are often impressive. So tonight I have acquiesced to give you a title shot. I’m not worried though because being GWF Commissioner provides me with a small amount of…security.

He smiles as members of the SECURITY SQUAD file in behind him.

With this we cut to the ring as the opening theme begins for RINGS OF DESTRUCTION! Abroz and DIalectus float to ringside from the ceiling and we are ready to begin with our three Infinity Challenge Matches.

MATCH #1
INFINITY CHALLENGE
Gryt d. Bloodline via submission with the STONGMAN STRETCH. – **1/2 – Huge win for Gryt and a much needed with for DIalectus! Gryt and Rotunda celebrated in the ring. Bloodline, for his part, looked despondent. He had been sure he could have taken Gryt, a far less experienced wrestler. He hit the mat with his fists and left ringside.

MATCH #2
INFINITY CHALLENGE
NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN
EARTH LADDER MATCH
Plethador d. Scimitar after shoving Scimitar off the ladder, grabbing the rod and then performing a Two Star Salamander Splash on his fallen opponent. – ***** – Another five star match from these two. Could one of these encounters end up as match of the year? Plethador ties up the series to two all and scores points for Abroz! After the match it’s announced that Abroz and Dialectus have awarded both competitors a whopping three bonus points each for their match tonight. Plethador gets those wins added to the two points he’ll get for his victory.

MATCH #3
INFINITY CHALLENGE
HARDCORE TITAN DEATH MATCH
Tricks d. Tanck via pinfall after COULOROPHOBIA. – ***1/2 – Wild match that went in and out of the ring several times! Chairs, tables, ringposts, guardrails were all used in this one. Tricks uses the no DQ rules to use underhanded tactics to get the win and more points for Dialectus. After the match it’s announced that both Tanck and Tricks will receive one bonus point each for their teams. Tricks’, of course, added to his two points for winning.

Final Infinity Challenge score for the night…

ABROZ – 6
DIALECTUS – 6

Added to the totals…

ABROZ – 37
DIALECTUS – 32

Again, no points for winning the night as this is a mixed GWF event. Though ground has been gained for DIalectus, Plethador’s performance single handedly nullifies it and helps the Abroz team keep their lead. Abroz and DIalectus announced at the conclusion of the Tricks/Tanck match that soon, new challenges will be added to the matches that will mix things up a bit. They bowed solemnly to the crowd and ascended to the ceiling.

We cut back to the LEGENDS OF THE RING locker room. We see Hector standing with Swarm, Payback, Thantos (II) and Sultana.

HECTOR: Tonight is of crucial importance. Thantos, you must further you feud with Encubus. You can do so in any way you see fit.

THANTOS (II): Right.

HECTOR: Payback, you have Symbiosis. You match is a must win. Drury’s plan to keep his guys in tight contention for the titles so it’s you job to make sure he loses.

PAYBACK: He hasn’t won a match yet.

HECTOR: And you need to make sure he doesn’t tonight. Got it?

PAYBACK: Don’t worry, I’m looking forward to breaking him in half and kicking both parts of him around the arena.

HECTOR: Fine. Now Swarm, tonight you have Nosfera.

SWARM: Nosfera? That doesn’t make sense. He isn’t on Drury’s team.

HECTOR: It makes perfect sense in context, but whether or not it makes sense to YOU, you need to beat him tonight. Preferably via pinfall or submission.

SWARM: Don’t worry, bro. I can handle that overgrown grasshopper any night of the week.

PAYBACK: Yeah, when it comes down to Swarm in high profile matches, there ain’t no one better.

Payback slaps Swarm on the back.

HECTOR: Fine. Whatever. Just make sure you win.

SWARM: Piece of cake.

We cut back down to ringside for our next, most anticipated, match.

MATCH #4
Paganx d. Engame via DQ when Endgame took the action outside and kept it there! The ref had no choice but to call the match and award it to Paganax. – ** – It took several members of ringside security to separate these two who, several times, broke their being held back and charged each other. No one really got a good idea of who would have the upper hand in a one on one match from this brief encounter. All anyone knows is there will be another meeting, if not several.

MATCH #5
Nosfera d. Swarm via pinfall after a SPRING HEEL KICK. – ** – This was a glorified squash. Nosfera toyed with Swarm the entire time. Refusing to pin him on several occasions. Many were surprised that Nosfera had SUCH the upper hand on Swarm that he never used the DEMON’S BREATH or interference by Omen to gain the upper hand. Many began thinking that perhaps, like Bloodline, Swarm is beginning to lose step.

MATCH #6
Paralyze d. Havoc by DQ when the action spilled outside the ring and Sleeper Cell who was at ringside, got involved. – ** – There was some back and forth at the beginning of the match but when Paralyze got tossed from the ring, he got into the faces of some of the Sleeper Cell and suddenly a hug brawl erupted. The ref called for the bell, awarding the match to Paralyze. The brawling continued after the bell and ended with Havoc making a huge suicide dive that toppled over Paralyze, Strafe and several members of the Sleeper Cell! This feud is far from over.

It’s the announced that in one week the GWF will host it’s annual RECKONING Ranking Gauntlet, but it’ll be done in a very special way. On the first day there will be four separate RECKONING cards across the galaxy that will take place at the same time. Two will host Infinity Challenge gauntlets. Two will host GWF gauntlets. Then the next night there will be a huge supercard on Demios where the finals of each gauntlet will be held along with a few selected matches stemming from the night before.

MATCH #7
SUBMISSION MATCH
Encubus d. Thantos (II) via submission with the MAFFEI MASTERLOCK in an amazing match. – ***** – Though Thantos (II) is obviously no relation to Encubus, he’s studied him well. Thantos (II) matched him move for move in the match, coming close to getting Encubus to tap out several times. In the end, Encubus got the win but as he and Mother Superior left ringside, Sultana handed Thantos (II) the mic.

THANTOS: Son…son!

Encubus at first refused to turn around. Then he did.

THANTOS: You’ve made your father very angry tonight son. This isn’t over. Not by a longshot.

Encubus threw up his hands in disgust and walked away.

MATCH #8
Payback d. Symbiosis via countout after an AMAZING Suicide Dive that left both men weakened, but only Payback able to return to the ring in time. – ** – This is the closest Symbiosis has come to winning a match here in the GWF, but Payback’s hardcore style was able to get the better of the strange alien.

MATCH #9
GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Phantasy d. Mother Superior via pinfall after SWEET SUICIDE to become the NEW GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPION! – ***** – This was a fantastic match. Easily one of the greatest women’s matches in recent history. Phantasy came to the ring with Dark Menace with one goal and that was to win. She did and in the process, brought to an end the longest GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP title reign in recorded history! For 615 days, Mother Superior has had a strangle hold on that belt, but now there’s a new Champion in town! Phantasy was so happy to be the one to finally dethrone Mother Superior, she began crying a bit. The crowd gave her a huge standing ovation. Meanwhile, in the aisles, Mother Superior and Sly Drury were not happy at all.

We cut back to the LEGENDS OF THE RING locker room. Hector is furious.

HECTOR: I thought you said you had it?! I thought you said Nosfera would be a piece of cake?!

SWARM: Whoa, bro, I had an off night.

HECTOR: We canot afford ‘off nights’ you moron! There is a plan and…

PAYBACK: Listen man, stop with this ‘plan’ garbage. “Cause so far we ain’t seen anything going down that would let us know there even IS a plan.

HECTOR: You shut up! You were supposed to get a convincing win tonight and you failed as well!

PAYBACK: I did win.

HECTOR: Yeah, barely! But a countout means you’ll have to face Symbiosis again. Giving him the chance to win now that he knows your style.

PAYBACK: Well, I…

HECTOR: Shut. Up! Listen when I asked you two to join this team I did so because I thought you’d be able to get things done. I’m beginning to think I was wrong. So here’s the deal. You two need to gut check. NOW! At THE RECKONING, you need to let me know if you can handle the assignments I give you or if I should start scouting for replacements. Got it?

Hector storms out of the locker room slamming the door behind him. Swarm lets out a scream in frustration.

SWARM: Aaaaaarghh! That guy makes me so mad I’m about to shove that bear head up his–

PAYBACK: Whoa. Swarm.

Payback puts a hand on his shoulder.

PAYBACK: Don’t worry, bro. This garbage continues and I’m going to put him through a table. Remember we’re in this together.

SWARM: Yeah. Thanks man.

We cut back down to ringside and find Patch in the ring with a mic.

PATCH: Mother Superior’s loss will now be made up for. In mere moments, I will be the new INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION and will bring gold back to Martial Law where it belongs.

This was met with a chorus of boos, only to be drown out with huge cheers as Tauran made his way to ringside.

MATCH #10
INTERPLANETARY CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Patch d. Tauran via submission with STREET SMARTS to become the new GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION. – ** – Patch made good on his word and you could tell that Drury was more than pleased! The crowd, however was furious and booed the two loudly as they celebrated. Love or hate the outcome, Patch had wrestled fairly and there was no interference on the part of Drury.

MATCH #11
GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
ULTIMATE FIGHTERS d. THE GLADIATORS when Clinch made Turmoil tape out with TAPPED OUT, winning the ULTIMATE FIGHTERS the GWF GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! – *** – Wow! What a huge night for Covert Operations as Dark Menace’s team scores two Championship wins! Clinch and Shoot made THE GLADIATORS look silly in this match. It was unclear if THE GLADIATORS just underestimated this team or were distracted by the presence of the Sleeper Cell members at ringside! After the match, Clinch and Shoot walked around the ringside shaking hands with the younger fans and doing their signature arm moves with the crowd.

After the new champs cleared the ring, Sly Drury made his way to ringisde with his Security Squad. He was furious. He was fired up.

MAIN EVENT
GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Sly Drury and Ensor battled to a NO CONTEST decision when the Security Squad charged the ring and began beating down Ensor! – ****1/2 – The crowd was livid! Before the moment that the Security Squad interfered, the entire galaxy thought that maybe, just maybe, Ensor could unseat Drury for the belt! Ensor wrestled the match of his life! But with the NO CONTEST decision Drury keeps his belt. He needed to be escorted from the ring as the capacity crowd was nearly in full out riot mode! Drury is escorted directly to his transport and as he pulls out of the arena, we…

CARD #2125.126 – THE RECKONING NIGHT 1.1 – 06.27.2125

NOTE: The 2125 RECKONING took place over two nights. On the first night four different cards were held at the exact same time.

From Titan Sportatorium, Saturn

FADE IN

ABROZ is standing in the middle of the ring. He bows to the camera.

ABROZ: Good evening mortals. Welcome to The Reckoning!

CROWD CHEERS

ABROZ: Dialectus and I know and understand how much The Reckoning means to the Galactic Wrestling Federation. And though the Infinity Challenge cannot itself be interrupted or postponed to allow the Challenge rosters to participate. However we can adjust the Challenge to incorporate the excitement of The Reckoning into it. We said last time you saw us that the Infinity Challenge would be changing and that change starts tonight! TOnight we introduce these…

ABROZ gestures next to him and three shimmering green cup like trophies appear next to him.

ABROZ: These are the Infinity Challenge Cups. There is one cup for single competitors, one cup for tag team competitors and one for female competitors. These cups give those who win them bonus points for their team. WInning one of these cups awards the winner three bonus points. Successfully defending one of these cups via adds three bonus point to the holder’s team. These are in addition to any points, regular or bonus, awarded in the match. Tonight we begin the ranking gauntlets to determine who will be the first holders of these cups!

CROWD CHEERS.

ABROZ: Dialectus and I, of course, knew the limitations of holding a gauntlet with both Infinity Challenge Rosters in one big gauntlet meant that members of the same roster may wind up facing each other for the cups. To avoid this we have decreed that the rosters will face each other first, in point free gauntlet matches, to determine who will face each other for these cups tomorrow night. Those matches begin immediately following the next in the series of the Non-Fatal Showdown!

MATCH #1
NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN #5
CIRCINUS CELL MATCH
Plethador d. Scimitar via submission with the SUCTION CLAW! – **** – These two brought it again! Plethador retakes the lead in the Non-Fatal Showdown and in addition to getting the points for his victory he also gets an extra point for winning consecutive matches! Scimitar is also awarded a bonus point for his performance in this match!

MATCH #2
ABROZ TEAM WOMEN’S GAUNTLET
Deadliest d. Shann-Ra via DQ when the action spilled outside the ring and Shann-Ra smacked her teammate with a vicious chair shot. – DUD – Both these women wanted the win to move forward to get the cup. Shann-Ra was willing to do anything to get the cup but as this was a regular rules her use of the chair cost her shot. Deadliest will go against the winner of the women’s match between Dialectus’ teammates.

MATCH #3
ABROZ TEAM TAG TEAM GAUNTLET
FRONTAL ASSAULT d. LEADERS OF THE PACK via submission when Zygon locked Malkuth in the TRI_CLAW. – *3/4 – Surprising short match between these two teams. LEADERS OF THE PACK seemed woefully out of sync. It was not their night. FRONTAL ASSAULT moves on to to Night Two of THE RECKONING to compete for the Infinity Challenge Tag Team Cup!

MATCH #4
DIALECTUS TEAM WOMEN’S GAUNTLET
She Devil d. Rotunda via pinfall with FALLEN DEVIL. – *1/2 – She Devil showing off some new moves and looks very impressive as she dispatches of Rotunda and will go on to face Deadliest for the Infinity Challenge Women’s Cup tomorrow night.

MATCH #5
DIALECTUS TEAM TAG TEAM GUANTLET
LIFTOFF d. STARS & STRIPES via DQ when American Guy loses his temper and whips Mantis into the guardrails. – DUD – This match started with LIFTOFF surprising double dropkicks to start the match! The action spilled outside and the ref desperately tried to get it back inside. American Guy refused to bring the action back into the ring and was DQ’d when he ignored the ref’s warning not to whip him into the guardrails! LIFTOFF gets the win and will face FRONTAL ASSAULT for the Infinity Challenge Tag Team Cup tomorrow night on night two of THE RECKONING!

As LIFTOFF heads to the back and STARS & STRIPES air their frustrations in the ring we cut to ABROZ in another part of the arena.

ABROZ: The lines of battle have been set. Deadliest from my team will face She Devil from Dialectus’ for the Infinity Challenge Women’s Cup and Dialectus’ team LIFTOFF with face my FRONTAL ASSAULT for the Infinity Challenge Tag Team Cup. These matches will happen tomorrow night and the winners will begin their path defending their cups! Until the crowning of the Cup Holders, I bid you mortals, goodnight.

CROWD CHEERS

DIALECTUS: Abroz and I know and understand how much The Reckoning means to the Galactic Wrestling Federation.

Successfully defending one of these cups via adds three bonus point to the holder’s team. These are in addition to any points, regular or bonus, awarded in the match. Tonight we begin the ranking gauntlets to determine who will be the first holders of these cups!

She listens as the person on the other end of the line talks.

We see SLY DRURY in his luxury box commissioner’s office on his communicator. He’s listening to the person on the other end. When they are done, he speaks.

SLY DRURY: It’s not open for discussion. I’m the GWF GALAXIAN CHAMPION and the GWF Commissioner. I cannot spare even one member of my Security Squad.

He listens as the person on the other end of the line talks.

DRURY: I’m sure you were, but it’s just not going to happen. The Board is watching me even closer now than ever so I’ve got to make sure my team plays it as legit as possible.

He listens as the person on the other end of the line talks.

DRURY: Yes, of course, look I have very pressing matters to deal with here, I have to go.

He hangs up his communicator and the camera pans to reveal that standing in his office is PAGANAX, ENCUBUS, NOSFERA and OMEN. They are all four impatient. Especially PAGANAX.

DRURY: I’m sorry gentlemen. (He smirks.) Women. Now I know you all have various things on your mind. Paganax you’re focused on Endgame…

PAGANAX: (Growls.)

DRURY: Encubus, you’re focused on Thantos (II).

ENCUBUS: Yes.

DRURY: And Nosfera, you’re focused on…well…whatever it is you focus on.

NOSFERA: (Hisses)

OMEN waves his torch.

DRURY: Right, but gentlemen tonight, I need your help. I need you all to change your focus and help me out tonight. In return, I will deliver the things you want to you. Paganax, I’ll give you Endgame however you want him.

PAGANAX: (Growls)

DRURY: Encubus, Thantos (II) isn’t even here tonight…

ENCUBUS: Because he’s not even in my class.

DRURY: Yes. So this task should be easy for you, complete it and I’ll give you Thantos (II) in whatever type of match you’d like. And Nosfera…

NOSFERA: (Hisses)

OMEN again waves the torch.

DRURY: I’ll give you whatever it is…you want.

ENCUBUS: What do we have to do?

DRURY: Simple. You have to do whatever you can to ensure that Hector doesn’t make it anywhere near the top of the gauntlet. He must not take the night.

ENCUBUS: Sounds like you’re scared.

DRURY: I’m not scared, I just…have a lot on my plate and I don’t need him getting in my way.

PAGANAX slams his fists down on the desk. Everyone jumps back.

PAGANAX: Chief will destroy whoever it takes to get Endgame.

DRURY: Yes, Chief. Good. So that’s it. You gentlemen deliver and I will deliver unto you.

The four men turn and begin to exit. ENCUBUS stops and turns back.

ENCUBUS: Oh and Drury?

DRURY: Yes?

ENCUBUS: I’ve already had Thantos (II) in a submission match and I laid him to waste, so I may have another thing I’d like if I take out Hector.

DRURY: And that is?

ENCUBUS: You’ll find out.

ENCUBUS stares at DRURY for a second and then exits. DRURY watches the closed door, shakes his head and begins to straighten the papers that flew when PAGANAX slammed the desk.

We cut down to the ring for our first match.

MATCH #1

ULTIMATE FIGHTERS d. THE GLADIATORS via DQ due to wild brawling. – DUD – The bell rang as the GLADIATORS made their way to the ring, and as soon as they hit the ring a wild brawl broke out. The ref tried desperately to restore order, signaling SHOOT and TURMOIL as the legal men, but he was unable to and called the match when TURMOIL hit SHOOT with a steel chair! After the bell rang and officials were able to seperate the teams, SHOOT and CLINCH grabbed mics.

SHOOT: You guys think yer real tough guys but you know you aren’t, right Clinch?

CLINCH: That’s right Shoot! We’ve bested you for these here belts at RIngs Of Destruction and you know there ain’t no way yer gettin’ them back, right Shoot?

SHOOT: You said it Clinch! And since we’re the champs, we get to call the shots! You and us, tomorrow night, for the belts in an Ultimate Fight Match! We’ll be glad to knock yer heads in once again, right Clinch?

CLINCH: That’s right Shoot, ’cause me and Shoot are the Ultimate FIghters and we’re…

BOTH: FIGHTIN’ TOUGH!

Steeming with rage, THE GLADIATORS head backstage as CLINCH and SHOOT both flex and do their trademark arm movements. Soo they head back and we’re ready to begin the Galaxian CHampionship Gauntlet!

MATCH #2
GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP GAUNTLET
Paralyze d. Paganax via pinfall with PERMANENTLY PARALYZED. – *** – Paralyze picks up a HUGE win knocking the Heathan Chief out of the running for the belt and keeping him about as far from his goal of getting his hands on Endgame as possible.

MATCH #3
GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP GAUNTLET
Paralyze d. Payback via pinfall with HEART TRANSPLANT. – ***1/2 – Payback had been eager for this match to get a win over the Gladiator after their last encounter ended with a loss for him. Paralyze saw it as a chance to get some, payback, for Payback’s involvement in injuring the Overmaster! Paralyze swiftly took Payback out and was eager for his next opponent.

We cut backstage to the LEGENDS OF THE RING locker room as HECTOR and SWARM watch Payback’s loss on a holovid screen.

HECTOR: Dammit.

SWARM: What?

HECTOR: Well now it’s up to you?

SWARM: Up to me?

HECTOR: Yeah, it’s up to you to go all the way to the finals and face Drury.

SWARM: Am I going daft or are you not also in the gauntlet as well?

HECTOR: I am.

SWARM: Then I can’t quite wrap my head around why you said it’s all up to me then to get to the finals.

HECTOR (laughs): You use that phrase a lot.

SWARM: What?

HECTOR: That you ‘can’t wrap your head around’ things or that ‘things don’t make sense’ to you. You keep talking like that and people are going to start thinking you’re stupid.

SWARM rushes to HECTOR and backs him up against some lockers.

SWARM: You want to call me stupid again?!

HECTOR: Well then why don’t you stop acting like you are! There’s a plan…

SWARM rears back and punches Hector who goes flying back into the lockers.

SWARM: Don’t mention that damn plan again! You got me? I’m sick of hearing about it! You don’t have a plan. You’re a lying sack of…

HECTOR: You…you…need to…

SWARM: I’m done with you telling me what I need to do. From now on I do what I want to do. And tonight, I’m winning this whole thing whether that’s part of your plan or not.

HECTOR (laughs): It is. It’s the whole plan.

SWARM shakes his head and storms out of the locker room as HECTOR stands and we cut back to the ring for our next match.

MATCH #4
GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP GAUNTLET
Encubus d. Paralyze via pinfall with SECOND COMING. – ** – Encubus topples the big Gladiator, defeating him soundly to move forward in the gauntlet. Though Encubus had picked up the win, the crowd could tell he was a little out of place not having Mother Superior at ringside.

MATCH #5

A great back and forth battle. Hector gets the win! As soon as his arm is raised, SWARM charges the ring for our next match. SWARM looks like he cannot wait to get his hands on HECTOR!

MATCH #7
GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP GAUNTLET
Swarm d. Hector The Holy Brown Bear via pinfall after VENOMOUS STINGER. – *1/2 – SWARM dispatches HECTOR in this match!. HECTOR had no offense at all! After the bell, SWARM was obviously smiling as HECTOR rolled out of the ring and grabbed a mic.

HECTOR: Good. Now, you need to go all the way. It’s all part of the plan.

SWARM lunges through the ropes towards HECTOR who dodges and runs up the ramp as SWARM’S next opponent came to the ring and it is…NOSFERA!

MATCH #8
GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP GAUNTLET
Swarm d. Nosfera via pinfall with the VENOMOUS STINGER! – SQUASH – SWARM destroys NOSFERA in this totally one sided affair. The crowd is ecstatic! SWARM is pumped up. HECTOR is at the top of the ramp applauding and nodding. If SWARM wins this next one, he will face SLY DRURY for the championship! His opponent makes his way to ringside and it’s none other than…

ENDGAME!

The crowd is blowing the roof off this place as they feel this match will be something to see between these two fan favorites.

That wraps up this night of action from Deimos! All eyes turn now to tomorrow night and night two of THE RECKONING! Up in his luxury box office DRURY shakes his head and looks nervously down at ENDGAME. This is what we see as we…

From Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

FADE IN

A cruiser lands behind the arena. SWARM and PAYBACK exit. They see HECTOR and THANTOS (II) standing near a rear door talking and they cross to them.

SWARM: Yo.

HECTOR: Evening. (He returns to talking to THANTOS (II)) So make sure you do as much damage up front so that he…

SWARM: Hey!

HECTOR: What? We’re going over strategy here.

SWARM: Well Payback and I want to know who we/re wrestling tonight.

HECTOR: Ha. You two? No one.

SWARM: What?

HECTOR: What? Did you or did you not tell me you were going to ‘go all the way’ at THE RECKONING last night?

SWARM: I…

HECTOR: You did. And you FAILED!

SWARM: I kicked your ass.

HECTOR: Yes, because you had to! In order to get to the finals you had to beat me.

SWARM: Wait what.

HECTOR: Oh dear lord, you are all brawn aren’t you? It wasn’t ME who was supposed to go all the way to the finals, it was YOU! I told you that. You said you were going to do that and YOU FAILED! So the future of the plan is now out of our hands completely. I thought I’d be able to count on members of my OWN TEAM to get the job that needs to be done, done, But now I have to rely on others. So no Swarm, no Payback, you aren’t wrestling tonight! So why don’t you just get back onto that cruiser and go back to you hive and I will call when…and if…I need you.

SWARM and PAYBACK stand speechless.

HECTOR (to THANTOS (II)): Come on let’s go inside.

HECTOR and THANTOS (II) exit as SWARM and PAYBACK stand speechless.

PAYBACK (putting a hand on SWARM’S shoulder): Come on. Let’s go get a beer.

They walk off towards the cruiser as we cut down to ringside for our first match.

MATCH #1
NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN MATCH #6
TURNBUCKLE SHOCK MATCH
Scimitar d. Plethador via pinfall after a cross body block. – ***1/2 – Scimitar tore into Plethador and got a decisive victory here tonight! He evened up the NON-FATAL CHALLENGE to three all! Harckening back to the Lepus Stun Rod these two had, neither man used the turnbuckles! Scimitar had a goal of breaking Plethador’s streak and he did it tonight! ABROZ and DIALECTUS announced that in addition to the two points Scimitar received for his victory, they also awarded him an additional two points for the decisiveness in which he won.

MATCH #2
INFINITY CHALLENGE MATCH
STARS & STRIPES d. LEADERS OF THE PACK via countout after U.S. MALE hit PANTHER WARRIOR with a springboard moonsault and he was unable to get back in the ring. – ** – Decent match between these two teams. Crowd was disappointed that PANTHER WARRIOR was unable to make it back in the ring, but they were glad he’d shaken off the effects of that moonsault. DIALECTUS received 1 point for his team for this victory.

MATCH #3
Coven Black d. Retribution via pinfall after the Rogue Revolver. – ** – After six months in the big time, Coven Black finally picks up his first win. Barely. Retribution had him close to losing several times. It will be very interesting to see how he fares in his next bout.

MATCH #4
Symbiosis d. Thantos (II) via DQ when Thantos (II) took the action outside and refused to return to the ring. – DUD – Thantos (II) hit the ring like a man with a plan and started brawling with Symbiosis. The bell rang and immediately the action spilled outside where Thantos (II) refused to bring the action back in the ring. Security had to come out and separate the two after the bell.

MATCH #5
MILKY WAY FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH
Havco d. Aethran Overmaster via pinfall after multiple powerbombs on the dressing room floor. – ****1/2 – Overmaster was returning from injury and it showed in this match. He never gained any momentum in this match. He delivered a few big moves but Havoc dominated this match.

MATCH #6
INFINITY CHALLENGE WOMEN’S CUP FINALS
Deadliest d. She Devil via submission with PURIFICATION. – ***** – An amazing back and forth match. She-Devil looked good but Deadliest was one step ahead the entire match. Deadliest claims the INFINITY CHALLENGE WOMEN’S CUP for ABROZ’S team! She gets two points for the win, three points for the CUP and ABROZ and DIALECTUS decide to award both women two bonus points each for a fantastic match.

MATCH #7
INFINITY CHALLENGE TAG TEAM CUP FINALS
LIFTOFF d. FRONTAL ASSAULT via pinfall when Mantis hit Thraxx with an amazing cross body block. – ** – Hokey smokes! Talk about the little team that could! Mantis and Tristan hit FRONTAL ASSAULT with everything they had! Made quick tags and kept the bigger team off balance the entire match! LIFTOFF captures the INFINITY CHALLENGE TAG TEAM CUP! They score three points for winning the cup, two points for winning the match and one bonus point for dominating! DIALECTUS gets a huge push from this win!

MATCH #8
INFINITY CHALLENGE SINGLE’S CUP FINALS
Gryt d. Bloodline via pinfall with a cross body block. – ***** – A fantastic five star match! Bloodline was in top form, the ring rust of recent months was nowhere to be seen in this match and Gryt wrestled the match of his life. Rotunda was at ringside and, like the crowd, was so mesmerized by the action she didn’t get involved at all! In the end Gryt was able to pick up the win and take home the INFINITY CHALLENGE SINGLE’S CUP! Gryt score two points for the win, three points for the cup win and was awarded two bonus points for the victory! ABROZ and DIALECTUS awarded Bloodline one bonus point for his performance in this match.

This was the final INFINITY CHALLENGE match of the night and at then end the scores are…

DIALECTUS pulls ahead thanks to much needed cup wins tonight!

MATCH #9
GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Strafe d. Phantasy via pinfall after a Skyscraper Powerbomb. – *** – Strafe upsets Phantasy and becomes the NEW GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPION, ripping the title from COVERT OPERATIONS and putting it squarely in the GLADITOR’S camp! This won’t sit well with Dark Menace for sure, but all who saw this match had to admit, Strafe won it fair and square.

MATCH #10
GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPIONSHIP
TIRION TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Bishop Hell (II) d. Patch and Tauran via pinfall when he hit Tauran with HELLFIRE and became the new GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION. – **1/2 – A fun match that saw all three men dominating at different points. Bishop Hell (II) continues his…hot…streak in the fed, showing why he’s perhaps the the best of the 2125 newcomers.

MATCH #11
GWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
ULTIMATE FIGHTER MATCH
ULTIMATE FIGHTERS d. THE GLADIATORS when Clinch made Rush tap out with the ground and pound. – ***** – A brutal match but the ULTIMATE FIGHTERS had the home field advantage and took home the win.

MATCH #12
GWF GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Sly Drury d. Endgame via pinfall. – **** – Sly Drury surprised a lot of people with this match. The Security Squad was at ringside but didn’t get involved at all. The ref called the match right down the middle and Sly Drury just dominated Endgame. He proved to all he could win fair and square. After the closing bell though, his despicable side showed right through.

After the bell, Sly Drury signaled to the back and PAGANAX rang to ringside and began attacking ENDGAME! DRURY and his Security Squad left as PAGANAX laid into ENDGAME!

We cut to the back where HECTOR is watching the beatdown on the holoscreen. He takes out his communicator and punches in some numbers. We then cut to a bar on Andromeda. Music is thumping and the place is packed. SWARM and PAYBACK sit at the bar nursing two beers. Suddenly SWARM flinches and reaches for his communicator. He looks at the screen, shows it to PAYBACK who shakes his head. The get up and slip out a side door into an alleyway. The thumping music subsides a bit.

SWARM (answering and putting the communicator on speaker): Yeah?

HECTOR: Swarm? What is that…where are you?

SWARM: WHat do you want?

HECTOR: You see this beatdown Paganax is giving Endgame?

SWARM: No. Why would I care what Paganax is doing?

HECTOR: Why would you care? Because remember earlier when I said the plan was now in the hands of other people?

SWARM: I guess. Yeah.

HECTOR: Well, Paganax is now clearing the path for us to continue with the plan.

SWARM: Great. I’m way past the point of caring about this plan of yours.

HECTOR: Nice. Nice attitude. Well, you’d better change that attitude, because with Drury pinning Endgame and Pganax beating the tar out of Endgame. You’re up.

SWARM: I’m up? I’m up for what?

HECTOR: The next part of the plan.

SWARM: Which is…?

HECTOR: Swarm, it’s time for you to become GALAXIAN CHAMPION.

SWARM and PAYBACK look at each other.

HECTOR: Let’s just hope that like everything else, you don’t mess it up.

SWARM and PAYBACK still stare at each other as we…

The show started with GRYT and ROTUNDA in the ring. ROTUNDA held up his INFINITY CHALLENGE SINGLE’S CUP as GRYT posed and looked at his reflection in it. He said that people can just forget about teams in the INFINITY CHALLENGE as it’s all about him and after tonight, when ROTUNDA will face DEADLIEST for the INFINITY CHALLENGE WOMEN’S CUP, they will the be FIRST COUPLE of the INFINITY CHALLENGE and the GWF!

ABROZ and DIALECTUS then appeared at ringside and corrected GRYT saying that the INFINITY CHALLENGE was about teamwork and that’ll be proven at the next SuperCard – SURVIVAL – where there would be three survival rules matches between the singles, tag team and women INFINITY CHALLENGE teams. It was announced that winning sides would not only get points for winning but also for the number of ‘survivors’ left at the end of the match!

GRYT then began yelling at ABROZ and DIALECTUS from taking his moment in the spotlight to talk about things other than him and DIALECTUS announced that GRYT would have his first CUP defense, on the next edition of SUPERNOVA: CHALLENGE and his opponent would be none other than his former partner TANCK!

GRYT and ROTUNDA left in a huff as the COSMIC CAGE was lowered for our first match!

MATCH #1
NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN #7
COSMIC CAGE MATCH
Plethador d. Scimitar via escape after hitting a splash from the top of the cage! – * – This one was over in minutes as Plethador took the lead in this exciting feud! The score is 4-3 and the fans cannot get enough! Plethador earned two points for TEAM ABROZ in this encounter. It was over quickly and pretty one sided so no bonus points were awarded to either man.

In an interview, FRONTAL ASSAULT said they made a misstep in not taking LIFTOFF seriously at THE RECKONING and tonight, they would be capturing the INFINITY CHALLENGE TAG TEAM CUP and bringing it back to TEAM ABROZ.

MATCH #2
Shann-Ra d. She Devil via pinfall after the MACHETE. – * – Shann-Ra easily dispatched of She Devil to pick up two more points for her team.

MATCH #3
Bloodline d. Tricks via pinfall with the NOVA LAUNCH. – *1/2 – We saw shades of former glory from Bloodline in this match! He had the crowd on its feet and took Tricks out in a decisive manner! Bloodline got two points for his team with this victory!

ORACLE was out next and predicted that not only would VIDTEK lose their match tonight, he’d be bloodied by the end of it.

MATCH #4
Vidtek d. Oracle via DQ due to Oracle refusing to listen to the ref. – **1/2 – This was a fun match up until the DQ. Oracle had taken Vidtek out of the ring and whipped him into the ring steps in order to make good on his prediction, but the ref had warned him not to and when he did, Vidtek won the match and a point for his team.

MATCH #5
Nitro d. The Betrayer via DQ when Betrayer whipped him into the guardrails at ringside. – DUD – This was a brawl from the beginning and because he couldn’t get a clean, the ref DQ’d Betrayer after he whipped Nitro into the guardrails. Nitro gets one point for his team.

After this match ABROZ and DIALECTUS announced that because of the two DQ finishes tonight, on the next episode of SUPERNOVA: CHALLENGE, NITRO and ORACLE will take on VIDTEK and THE BETRAYER in a SURVIVAL RULES match to give fans a taste of the SURVIVAL SuperCard!

MATCH #6
INFINITY CHALLENGE WOMEN’S CUP
Deadliest d. Rotunda via DQ when Gryt interfered on behalf of Rotunda. – ** – Rotunda actually looked impressive in this match and was very close to winning several times. Once Gryt stuck his nose in though, the ref called it. Deadliest gets one point for the win and three points for defending the cup!

MAIN EVENT
INFINITY CHALLENGE TAG TEAM CUP
FRONTAL ASSAULT d. LIFTOFF via submission when Zygon locked the TRI-CLAW on Mantis to get the win. – ****1/2 – This was a great match! Lots of back and forth, quick tags and exciting action. FRONTAL ASSAULT made good on their promise and got the win and brought the INFINITY CHALLENGE TAG TEAM CUP to TEAM ABROZ! They get two points for the win and three for the CUP victory!

As FRONTAL ASSAULT celebrated, ABROZ and DIALECTUS thanked us for joining and brought us up to date on the scores…

ABROZ: 58
DIALECTUS: 45

TEAM ABROZ pulls ahead once again. DIALECTUS warned him not to get too comfortable because his team has made up a down margin before and they would do it again. The two beings thanks us again and bowed as we…

We opened the show with PAGANAX standing in the middle of the ring demanding ENDGAME in a match tonight! ENDGAME charged the ring with a ref in tow! Wasting no time at all we have our first explosive match!

MATCH #1
Endgame d. Paganax via pinfall after ULTIMA LEAP. – **1/2 – Endgame was out for vengeance after the beatdown he’d received at THE RECKONING and he tore into Paganax and picked up a solid win! After the closing bell, Paganax charged Endgame on the ramp and the two brawled to the back! This feud is FAR from over!

MATCH #2
Phantasy d. Mother Superior via DQ when Mother Superior brianed Phantasy with a chair. – ***1/2 – Up to the DQ, Phantasy had the upper hand and was well on her way to deliver Mother Superior a loss.

Back in the LEGENDS OF THE RING locker room, HECTOR is finally revealing to SWARM and PAYBACK the details of the master plan he’s had all year.

HECTOR: So YOUR piece in my plan is that you have to take the belt from Sly Drury. You couldn’t complete the plan at The Reckoning because Endgame got in your way. But now that he lost to Drury and is otherwise involved with Paganax, it’s your time to swoop in and claim the Galaxian Championship!

PAYBACK looked at SWARM and smiled, putting an arm around him.

PAYBACK: If there’s any man who can get that done, it’s Swarm.

SWARM (smirks): This was your plan all along?

HECTOR: My plan all along is to dismantle Drury piece by piece, using the members of my team. Now we’re in the prime position to make it happen. Drury is avoiding me at all costs. Because he’s currently the champ, he’ll use the excuse of me being too low in the rankings to get a shot at him. That’s why you MUST get a title match with him and become champ. Then he won’t be able to hide anymore and he’ll be mine.

SWARM (smiles): Your plan is about to come true!

MATCH #3
Tauran d. Coven Black via pinfall after a Tope Rope Exploder Slam. – ***1/2 – Back to the loss column for Coven Black as Tauran defeats the, as of yet, unimpressive newcomer.

SWARM came down to the ring and grabbed a mic. He shouted up to SLY DRURY in his Luxury Box Office demanding a match for the GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP at SURVIVAL! DRURY replied he had nothing to fear from SWARM and he’d gladly give him the match. The CROWD went nuts! Then he added that, as Commissioner, he was putting Swarm in a match tonight in the MAIN EVENT against NOSFERA! SWARM smiled and reminded DRURY how easily he beat NOSFERA at THE RECKONING, he’d be glad to do it again! The CROWD cheered again and the match was set for later tonight!

MATCH #4
Havoc d. Paralyze by DQ when Paralyze hit Havoc with the ring steps. – *1/2 – A brawl from the opening bell as all members of Covert Operations are dead set against paying Paralyze back for what he did to Anivar! After Paralyze clobbered Havoc with the ring steps and the bell rang, he was about to hit him again when suddenly ANIVAR, with members of SLEEPER CELL behind him, appeared at the top of the ramp and made a bee line towards Paralyze! Strafe warned Paralyze and the two jumped over the guardrail and ran from ringside. Anivar helped Havoc up and the two hugged! The CROWD was going nuts!

We cut up to SLY DRURY’S office where he’s being visited by NOSFERA and OMEN. He tells them that in no certain terms is SWARM to be in any kind of condition to be a threat to his title at SURVIVAL. NOSFERA hisses his agreement and runs his fingernails down the wall!

MATCH #5
Thantos (II) d. Symbiosis via pinfall with the LEGEND LARIAT. – * – Pretty much a squash here with Thantos picking up and easy win. Symbiosis didn’t even have a chance to separate during this match.

MATCH #6
THE GLADIATORS d. STARS & STRIPES via DQ when American Guy whipped Rush into the rails despite the ref’s protests. – *** – Fans could tell that STARS & STRIPES were eager to prove they are still title contenders (despite being in the Infinity Challenge). Perhaps a little too eager as American Guy gets them DQ’d!

MAIN EVENT
Swarm & Nosfera battled to a DOUBLE DQ when the two refused to listen to the ref and stop with the closed fists. – ***1/2 – Swarm was very close to winning this match several times, Omen got involved and once he did, Nosfera started working in his dirty tactics and all hell broke loose! The ref called the match and security ran to break it all up.

After the two were separated, SLY DRURY grabbed a mic up in his Luxury Box Office and shouted down to SWARM.

SLY DRURY: Hey Swarm! Just wanted you to know this kind of DOUBLE DQ ending leaves me with such an empty feeling. So next time on INVASION you’ll be wrestling Nosfera again to a clean finish.

Swarm took a ringside mic.

SWARM: Yeah, yeah, let me guess, if I don’t win cleanly next time, my match with you is off, right?

SLY DRURY: No, no, our match at SURVIVAL for the belt is still on. I just want a clean finish between you and Nosfera one way or another. You know, for the fans. And so, to ensure that there’s a clean finish, you know, for the fans, next time you two will meet, in a BARBED WIRE COSMIC CAGE!

The crowd booed heavily for they knew that DRURY was looking to injure SWARM going in to SURVIVAL. SWARM was shaking his head and DRURY was laughing as we…

The right is set up for a NIGHTMARE MATRIX match and PLETHADOR and SCIMITAR head to the ring for Match #8 on the NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN! Currently PLETHADOR leads the series 4 wins to SCIMITAR’S 3 so the crowd is anxious for tonight’s battle!

MATCH #1
NON-FATAL SHOWDOWN MATCH #8
NIGHTMARE MATRIX MATCH
Plethador d. Scimitar via submission with the SUCTION CLAW. – *** – This was a wild one that saw both men face their nightmares! At one point Plethador found himself in the middle of a desert, while at yet another moment in the match, Scimitar found himself in a room full of 10,000 spoons! How ironic! Plethador gets the win, the points for his team and two bonus points for a decisive win and one extra for winning two matches in a row!

MATCH #2
She Devil d. Shann-Ra via pinfall after FALLEN DEVIL. – * – A good win here for She Devil one she needed as she’s been hit or miss for awhile now.

MATCH #3
Tricks d. Bloodline via pinfall after COULOROPHOBIA. – ** – Tricks again easily dispatches of the veteran Bloodline. Bloodline shows moments of brilliance but can seldom seal the deal and get a win.

MATCH #4
INFINITY CHALLENGE WOMEN’S CUP MATCH
NO ONE ALLOWED AT RINGSIDE
Rotunda d. Deadliest via pinfall with FAT LADY SINGS. – *** – Rotunda impressed a lot of people here tonight by winning this match completely fair and square! And for all her hard work, she captures the INFINITY CHALLENGE WOMEN’S CUP from a VERY upset Deadliest! GRYT ran to ringside and the two of them held aloft their cups to the boos of the crowd. GRYT grabbed the mic…

GRYT: How about a little respect for the first couple of the GWF!

The crowd booed even louder!

ABROZ and DIALECTUS appeared before the next match to explain how INFINITY CHALLENGE scoring would work for the upcoming SURVIVAL RULES match tonight and at SURVIVAL. Each fall awards points for the respective teams, so even a losing team can score points if they get falls before they are completely eliminated. At the end of the match, the winning team gets one bonus point for each team member who survives. With that we went on to our special challenge match!

MATCH #5
SURVIVAL RULES MATCH
The Betrayer & Vidtek d. Nitro and Oracle when The Betrayer became the sole-survivor for his team!
ORDER OF FALLS:
1. Oracle d. Vidtek via pinfall with SIXTH SENSE.
2. The Betrayer d. Oracle via pinfall with ALL FALL DOWN.
3. The Betrayer d. Nitro via pinfall with ALL FALL DOWN.
The Betrayer is the MVP here! He picks up 5 points for TEAM ABROZ. Oracle’s one pinfall gets TEAM DIALECTUS two points.

MATCH #6
LEADERS OF THE PACK d. LIFTOFF by DQ when Mantis brained Malkuth with a chair. – DUD – Mantis, obviously out of sorts with losing the Tag Team Cup, was brawling from the beginning! When Mantis used the chair there was no other option for the ref but to call the match!

MAIN EVENT
INFINITY CHALLENGE SINGLE’S CUP MATCH
Gryt d. Tanck via pinfall with the Krakan Falling Face Slam. – SQUASH – This was a shocker to many in the arena! Gryt dominated from the beginning and took his former partner out in only a few moves! With Rotunda’s win earlier in the evening, there will be no living with either of them after this.

At the end of the evening, TEAM DIALECTUS had picked up 16 points. TEAM ABROZ scored 11. This gives DIALECTUS a bonus point for winning the night! At the end of the evening, the scores are now…

TEAM ABROZ – 69
TEAM DIALECTUS – 62

ABROZ and DIALECTUS thank everyone for tuning in and bow as we…
