Kiji and AK disentangle themselves and rise again. AK seizes his shoulders and delivers a stiff knee to his abdomen, making him double over, and follows it up with a DDT onto the unforgiving floor. Kiji clutches his head in pain as AK casts about for a weapon. She seizes a folded steel chair leaning against the barricade and holds it up to a pop from the crowd, then takes it over to Kiji, who has by now risen to his hands and knees. Alicia slams the chair into his back with a loud *THOCK*, but incredibly, he continues his ascent; a second chair shot to his head puts him down, though, groaning and rolling on the floor in pain. AK tosses the chair aside and makes a pin. The referee counts: 1--2--and Kiji kicks out, shoving his opponent away with a sudden burst of strength.
Making his way around to the other side of the ring with AK right behind him, Kiji has his eyes fixed on the wheelbarrow of light tubes. He sprints the last few feet and manages to snatch a tube from the pile before AK can reach him; he turns and throws it at her, and she raises her arms in defense. The light tube shatters, sprinkling the floor with broken glass and releasing a puff of neon gas into the air. Kiji grabs another light tube and swings it as AK lowers her arms, catching her squarely on the forehead. She falls to one knee, and Kiji breaks another tube over her head, then throws in a kick for good measure.
He starts to take light tubes from the wheelbarrow and slide them under the ropes as AK lies dazed on the floor, blood beginning to trickle down her forehead. Having transferred most of the wheelbarrow's contents, Kiji rummages under the ring, pulling out a table, a bat wrapped in barbed wire, and a few bricks. The crowd begins to cheer wildly, and Kiji turns around just in time to have a light tube smashed over his head by AK; he drops into a sitting position, and AK swings another at his head with all her strength, breaking it spectacularly. AK unfolds the table and sets it up next to the ring, and turns her attention to Kiji, who remains on the floor amid broken glass.
Both competitors are bleeding freely now--AK wipes a crimson trickle from above one eyebrow as she walks quickly around the ring and retrieves the car windshield, half-carrying, half-dragging the heavy pane of glass back to her opponent, who is beginning to stir. She takes the bucket out of the wheelbarrow and sets it on the floor, then heaves the windshield onto the wheelbarrow. Much of the row nearest the action retreats to a safe distance, realizing what's about to happen, and the general noise level in the arena increases.
AK pulls Kiji's sweatshirt off roughly, throwing it aside, and picks up the bat. She slams it into his back as he struggles to his feet, driving him back to the ground. Kiji writhes in pain, clutching his back, and AK crouches down to rake the barbed wire cruelly across his face and forehead, bringing out a snarling shout of agony. AK drops the bat and pulls Kiji to his feet, and the crowd's cheers swell as she gets him into the suplex position with her back to the wheelbarrow and its payload of light tubes covered by the windshield.
With a clatter and crash of breaking glass, AK suplexes Kiji onto the wheelbarrow, sending up a great cloud of gas as his body smashes through the windshield and crushes the light tubes beneath. The whole mess teeters and falls to the floor, scattering broken glass everywhere and dumping the bloodied Kiji out. AK makes the pinfall attempt, carefully avoiding the glass, and gets a long two count before Kiji kicks out at the last possible moment. AK slaps her thighs in frustration and gets up, dragging Kiji with her. A few pieces of broken glass drop to the ground as he stands up.
She makes an angry swing at his face with her fist; he ducks, and rams his shoulder into AK's abdomen, slamming her into the barricade. Kiji follows this up with a stiff knee to the same area, doubling his opponent over, then grabs her chin and pulls her back up to punch her in the jaw. A few more blows see AK slumping to the floor; Kiji kicks her hard in the ribs where she lays. Kiji's eyes suddenly focus on something behind the barricade; he reaches over it and retrieves a folded chair, which he hurls forcefully at the thrown AK. He throws chair after chair at his foe, some striking the floor and bouncing, but most striking their target with a meaty *whack*.
AK looks dazed and unsure of her surroundings as Kiji hauls her to her feet. He slips around behind her and makes a grab, but meets a sudden flurry of elbows as she exhibits a burst of strength; as Kiji stumbles backwards, AK stoops and picks up a large shard of glass from the broken windshield. She drops him with a crouching legsweep and drops onto his chest, at the same time driving the glass down towards Kiji's eyesocket with clear intentions. Kiji arrests the stab just in time, both of his hands grabbing AK's wrist, which trembles violently with the effort of pushing through the grip; her hand squeezes the glass so hard that it cuts into her flesh.

The two stare at each other for a moment, Kiji with a look of mingled surprise and pain, AK with one of pure malice. Alicia seems to come to her senses suddenly and looks shocked at her own viciousness--Kiji seizes the opportunity and gives a mighty upward heave, managing to shove her off his chest. The shard tumbles from AK's limp, bleeding grip, and she's still too shocked to defend against the ensuing boot in the ribs. Kiji's face contorts with anger as he grabs a brick from the floor and tosses it at AK; fortunately, it misses, clattering loudly into the ringside barricade. The crowd sustains a chant of "Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!" for a few moments following this stunt--AK gathers her strength and pulls herself into the ring before her opponent can grab another piece of masonry with which to pelt her.
Kiji notices and, foregoing the bricks, picks up the mysterious bucket and follows AK into the ring. Before she can fully recover, he delivers a stiff kick to her ribs and drags her into a standing position, immediately whipping her into the corner. Kiji charges and delivers yet another blow to AK's ribs, this time with a knee. He turns his attentions away from her and returns to the bucket. With a grin, Kiji lifts the bucket and briefly upends it; we finally see what it contains as a fine white cascade of salt pours onto the mat. He stomps around in it vigorously, getting it all over his shoes, then returns to the corner, where a battered AK slowly rises.
Shoving her down again, Kiji drags her into the appropriate position and hooks her in the Tree of Woe, then grasps the ropes, springing up and coming down again with a thoroughly salted face-stomp that smears the fine crystals into the wounds on AK's head. She reacts predictably, writhing in agony and clutching her head. Kiji begins to trudge to another turnbuckle; despite his continued resilience, it's obvious that he's just as fatigued as his opponent is. Both competitors have thoroughly beaten the hell out of each other here tonight.
Wearily, he begins climbing the turnbuckle, and AK, seeing this, eyes streaming and livid red from the salt bath, pulls herself up and does the same. As he reaches the top and turns around, keeping his balance with some difficulty, he seems surprised to see AK looking at him from the other ringpost. They look at each other for a moment, and then, with a last burst of energy, AK makes a desperate gamble.
The crowd erupts into fresh cheers as AK steps onto the ropes separating her corner from Kiji's and runs across them with almost preternatural agility. She leaps as though for a Hurricanrana, but, astoundingly, Kiji holds her in place. Legs trembling violently with the effort of holding her up, he half-powerbombs, half-throws her away from him, down onto the outside--and through the table that she herself set up earlier in the match, which collapses readily. Kiji keeps his balance for perhaps a half-second afterwards, then plummets forward like a ragdoll, falling down through the sea of noise emanating from the fans, and landing painfully on top of AK in the mangled wreckage of the table. The ref, professional as always, immediately comes forward to check on the situation; then, without a second's hesitation, drops to the floor and begins to count. 1! 2! 3!
Philip: Sweet Mother of… - Er, here is your winner, Kiji!
The bell's ringing is the catalyst for the greatest blast of noise yet: an aural explosion takes place at this unexpected outcome. "Asgard" plays somewhere in the background, but Kiji nor AK show any signs of getting up and returning to the back; they stir feebly in the debris, perhaps not even aware that the match has ended, or anything beyond their own crushing fatigue and pain. The EMTs, who have had another busy night, hurry down and try to disentangle the competitors from one another; there’s some pushing and shoving in their ranks, and then Latino forces his way to the front, lifting AK up as the medics assist Kiji and see if he can stand on his own two feet. Latino looks a little pale, almost as if he’s mentally gone through the whole match himself.
Latino: Are you all right, mami? Speak to me……
AK’s eyes regain focus, and she looks around her; she’s able to stand, but keeps an arm over Latino’s shoulder for support.
AK: I lost, didn’t I? Ah, crap.
Her voice is racked with exhaustion, and she breathes heavily.
AK: I think I really made the kid fight hard, though…. That’s good. He’s really something. I’m glad I did this, but everything’s going to ache for days…..
She looks down at her cut hand. It’s still bleeding a little, and one of the medics insists on bandaging it up there and then; AK’s expression is strange for a moment, but no longer.
AK: Lots to do, still, yes, plenty to do…….
Latino isn’t sure what she’s talking about, but in truth he doesn’t really care. He helps her to the back, and the crowd applauds both competitors as the show takes a much needed break.

#4 Warfare: G-Unit vs Senator and Hunter vs Top Draw (ACW Tag Team Titles)
Jake’s enthusiasm seems to have passed to the crowd, who cheer loudly as they see Philip readying to announce the competitors in the Tag Title Contest.
Phillip: This match is scheduled for one fall, coming to the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 524 pounds, they are the Tag Team Champions, G-Unit !!
"Defy You" hits and the crowd begins to boo the ACW Tag Team Champions as they make their way down to the ring, in a familiar Honda emblazoned with the words “G Mobile”. They begin to trash talk people in the crowd as the crowd jeers the heelish team. They leave the car, slide into the ring and climb up to the middle of the ring and begin taunting the crowd. The crowd boos them even more for this and they step down from the middle rope and wait for their challengers.
Phillip: And the second team, coming to the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 435 pounds, representing the Senatorial Stable, The Senator and Hunter !!
"Hail to the Chief" hits and the crowd gives a mixed reaction to the duo making their way to the ring. Hunter and Senator enter the ring and they too are focused on the task ahead of him. Can they overcome the Tag Team Champions and a classic ACW Tag Team? Who knows? Just then the sounds of "Headstrong" by Trapt hits and roof nearly blows off the top of the arena.
Phillip: And the final team, coming to the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 424 pounds, Top Draw !!
BK and Jake step through the curtain and the crowd goes even more wild, Top Draw hypes themselves up for the match and as they run down to the ring they begin to slap hands with the crowd. BK and Jake enter the ring simultaneously and now all three teams are in the ring. They look ready to fight and the referee raises the Tag Team Belts in the air to signal it is for the belts. The bell rings and the match commences.
Hunter and Jake start off with an collar-elbow-tie-up, Hunter locks on an vicious hammerlock on Jake and Jake counters that move into a Snapmare Takedown. Jake then capitalizes with a sleeperhold but Hunter rises to his feet while still in the move and pushes Jake into the ropes. Jake bounces off the ropes and Hunter leapfrogs over Jake.

Hunter drops to the mat and he gets back up and Jake clotheslines him over the top rope. Hunter is infuriated at Jake getting the upper hand and he kicks the steel steps in anger.

Jake kicks Hunter in the abdomen and then hits him with a forearm to the face, Hunter is on the ropes and Jake whips Hunter into the ropes but Hunter reverses that whip and sends Jake into the ropes, just then Senator grabs the dreads of Jake smashing his head against the mat. Jake holds the back of his neck and the crowd begins to boo The Senator and his heelish tatics and Hunter begins the assault on Jake by pulling him tot he middle and blatantly choking him. The referee counts to 4 and Hunter releases the choke.
Hunter then picks up Jake and hits him with a Backbreaker and then converts it into the Backbreaker Stretch, another variation of the backbreaker. Jake is in a lot of pain and Hunter increases the pressure on the move. BK London begins to bang the top of his turnbuckle and the crowd stomps simultaneously for support for Jake. Jake begins to kick the side of the head of Hunter and Hunter releases the hold. Hunter holds his jaw and Jake hits Hunter with an Inverted Atomic Drop, Hunter holds his groin and Jake bounces off the ropes and goes for the Spear but Hunter boots him in the face. Hunter rests on the ropes and Gooey takes this opportunity to tag himself in. Gooey picks up Jake and hits him with clubbing blows as the referee directs Hunter to his corner. Gooey locks in a Sleeperhold, wrapping his massive arms around the small neck of Jake. Gooey applies it on perfectly and Jake begins to fade, the referee raises his arm once and it drops to the mat, the referee does it a second time and Jake's arm drops. The referee is about to do it for the third time but Hunter enters the ring and kicks Gooey in his back and Gooey releases the hold. The referee directs Hunter to his corner and Hunter begins to argue with the referee, BK London uses this chance to slide in the ring and hits a Release German Suplex to the big man Gooey. Gooey holds the back of his neck and BK rolls out the ring. Jake begins to stagger to his feet and so does Gooey, Jake forearms Gooey in the face and Gooey doesn't budge. Jake then hits Gooey with a full on force elbow to the face of Gooey and Gooey holds his nose in pain. Jake then bounces off the ropes and attempts a Crossbody Takedown but Gooey catches Jake in mid-air.

Hunter tags himself in from Senator and Hunter and Jonny begin going at it in the middle of the ring. Jonny and Hunter exchange blows and Hunter begins to get the upperhand, Hunter kicks Jonny in his gut and goes for the European Uppercut but Jonny counters it into a Backslide Pin. The referee counts one....two....th- but Hunter kicks out.
Hunter gets back up and Jonny charges toward him but receives a Inverted Tiger Suplex, Jonny lands hard on his back and Hunter doesn't waste time to lock on the Bear Trap. Jonny is screaming in agonistic pain and Hunter wrenches the neck of Jonny back more while putting more pressure on the back. Just then Gooey interferes and breaks up the hold and the Senator jumps in and attacks Gooey, before you know it Top Draw enters and begins to get in the brawl and all mayhem breaks loose while Jonny rolls out the ring. Jake begins to take it to Gooey and BK takes on Hunter and Senator on the outside.

#3 Warfare: Macho Man RDK vs TNT – Boiler Room Match (ACW International Title) (Ending events: Jakie / Latino)
The last match of the evening is also a first; ACW’s first ever boiler room match. The camera shows the inside of the boiler room, deep beneath the arena; inside, Philip is waiting with a referee and a camera crew.
Philip: This is the main event, and it is for the ACW International Title! This is a boiler room match; there is no referee, and the only way to win the match is to be the first person to leave the room, via the only door.
The camera swings to show an ordinary looking fire door.
Philip: Introducing first, the challenger……from Chicago Illinois, the ACW Lightweight Champion, TNT!
In the arena, “Away” hits, and TNT steps through the door into the boiler room. He looks around the dingy space and is not very impressed; he taps his foot and waits impatiently for his opponent.
Philip: And his opponent, the current ACW International Champion…..from Yellowknife, Canada, the Macho Man RDK!
”Macho Man” hits, and the crowd applauds and whoops for RDK as he appears at the door to the boiler room. Even though he obviously can’t see them, he raises an arm to the crowd before walking to the centre of the room. The ref does a quick check for any concealed weapons, and then he holds up the International belt before taking both titles with him as he and Philip leave the room. The door is closed, and in the arena this coincides with a ringing of the bell to confirm that the match has officially begun.
Alone in the cavernous boiler room, RDK and TNT stare at one another. The illumination varies from brightness in the centre of the room to deep shadows at the edges; the boiler itself hums away patiently, going about its business. RDK, being the kind of man not easily phased, makes the first move, and he comes forward to meet his opponent; they lock up and grapple, fighting for every step of ground, until RDK loses his footing slightly on the dusty concrete floor and TNT is able to push him back forcefully against one of the walls. RDK grunts as his back hits the brickwork, and TNT goes to work on his chest and gut, every strike being amplified by the hard wall. But RDK rallies and kicks TNT back before hitting a DDT; the drop to the unforgiving floor hurts both men, and RDK winces a little on impact. TNT is dazed, and RDK has no illusions about hanging around in the dingy confines – he heads for the door, but TNT gathers his wits, jumps up and tackles RDK to the ground a few feet from the exit. For the first time, TNT sees that there are some leftover items from the maintenance crew in the room, and he grins as he snatches up a spare cinderblock and smashes it over RDK’s forehead. But two can play it that way; RDK sticks his hand out with a mouthed appeal to any deity that might be watching, and in a second TNT reels from a strike to the temple with a small hammer. Slowly both men stand up; neither will let the other get away, and they push and pull one another back to the well lit centre of the room. Here, TNT lets rip with a stream of full – on punches, but RDK sucks it up and returns them to centre; the bare lightbulbs shake a little at the vibrations coming from the floor and the moving air, casting eerie shadows around the competing pair as their fierce battle rages.
TNT is getting somewhat wound up by RDK’s seeming ease at coping with the unusual environment; he shifts up a gear and distracts RDK with a throat thrust before booting him hard in the abdomen and then delivering a swift and stylish powerbomb. RDK manages to shift so that he takes most of the impact on his shoulders rather than his head, but TNT also suffers and he takes a major jolt on landing up his spine that considerably slows him as he gets to his feet. RDK is also trying to stand; TNT doesn’t want a repeat of the scuffle by the door, and his eyes alight upon something with considerable potential. Smiling, TNT moves over and picks up the battered – looking shovel; he moves so that he is behind RDK and takes aim, but RDK hasn’t lasted this long in ACW without developing something of a sixth sense for such attacks, and he rolls to evade at the last minute. The shovel rings, steel on cement, and TNT chases after his quarry; RDK puts on a burst of speed and avoids a couple more shots before tripping over a dirty cardboard box. Cornered, RDK manages to get to one knee and block TNT’s shot; they fight for the shovel, but it flies out of TNT’s hands and skitters away into the darkness. TNT moves with lightning speed and lifts RDK up, evidently about to go for a DVD on to the solid floor, but RDK kicks and struggles, causing TNT to lose his balance. The result is an untidy fall that brings both men down on top of the old box; there is a loud sound of shattering glass, and a cloud of noble gases wafts up. As the light – footed camera crew plucks up the courage to get in close, it’s clear that both men have taken a major impact, and the shimmering fragments of glass that make up the remains of the lighttubes have scored numerous cuts and scrapes into the backs and arms of both men. As they slowly rise, it is possible to see the phrase “KOTDM 04 – Leftovers” scrawled in marker pen on the deceased box; bleeding and aching, both men now realize that they have to get out of the room with all haste, lest they handicap themselves for the forthcoming PPV.

Despite the risks, RDK and TNT now produce their well known and powerful moves; TNT takes a Rock – bottom on to the floor, but somehow stands and whips RDK against the boiler itself. RDK staggers away, and TNT uses a northern lights suplex in the hope of putting RDK down permanently. The crowd cries out as RDK hits the ground, but the Macho Man digs deep and just about catches up with TNT as he gets a hand to the doorknob. They exchange punches next to the door, each just inches from success, and the crowd becomes inordinately noisy; TNT delivers a dropkick and snatches at the door, but even as he starts to open it RDK grasps his leg and rolls away, wrenching it as hard as he can. TNT hops backward, trying to free himself and stay on his feet, but RDK stops and pulls harder, causing TNT to be jarred against the floor. Furious, TNT kips up; he is bleeding slightly from his lip which slit a little on impact, but he does not notice. Determined to win, TNT goes all out, looking to get his famous RKO; he tries once, but RDK jinks to one side; TNT rushes back and gets a hold, but RDK throws his weight back to counter TNT’s motion, and both me end up on the floor again. They get up, and RDK tries for the jabroni buster; but TNT resists it, pushes RDK away, and then at the third attempt, TNT finally connects the RKO onto RDK. As the Macho Man’s skull hits the concrete, TNT is already thinking about his escape. TNT struggles to his feet and hobbles toward the door. He reaches for the door knob….but suddenly the door flies open. It is the same man that was on the titantron after TNT’s match on Meltdown.
Jakie: Hey TNT, did you miss me?
TNT: Jak.......AACK-
Before TNT can finish, Jakie grabs TNT by the throat and delivers the second half of his patented Jakie Drop. Jakie knows he needs to make sure that TNT can’t win, and he has just the thing. He pulls out a pair of handcuffs, and looks around for something to handcuff TNT to. RDK starts to stir and gets up off the ground. He sees Jakie with the handcuffs .
RDK: Thanks for the help, Bruda, but don’t do it again. OK?
Jakie: Yeah, sure, just give me a hand here.
RDK picks up TNT and puts him close to metal pipes by the heater. Jakie takes one end and cuffs TNT’s leg onto the metal pipe. RDK walks out of the room through the now open door and is given his Intercontinental Title back by the waiting referee.
Philip: And the winner, and STILL International Champion, Macho Man RDK!!
Back in the boiler room, Jakie speaks to TNT as he starts to wake up.
Jakie: Have a nice nap? That's good. Anyway, I came to tell you, that before I stopped by, I talked to my good friend Gingerdude. I caught up with all the stuff since I was gone. I also was granted a match, a match at Hellbound Heart. A NO ESCAPE, CAGE MATCH. For your LW title!
TNT lunges at Jakie but is stopped short by the handcuffs.
Jakie: Well, that’s why I stopped by, and interrupted your match. Later.
Jakie smiles and walks toward the door; before he gets there, however, there is shouting and crashing in the corridor outside, and Jakie has to dive aside as RDK is thrown back into the room. RDK smacks his head against the concrete, and has little chance to defend himself as Latino barrels into the room, fists flying every which way. The pair fight on the floor, but RDK can only put up a little resistance after his grueling match. Once Latino has him subdued he picks up the International Title belt and holds it in front of RDK’s bloody face.
Latino: Look closely at this belt, RDK, because soon it won’t belong to you any more. I am going to take you apart on Saturday and claim the title that I have deserved all this time, and nothing will stop me!
Latino drops the belt on to RDK, who is barely conscious, and stalks away to leave Philip, the ref and the EMTs to sort everything out. Once he’s well away from the boiler room, he stops, and Angelo emerges from a side hallway.
Latino (through gritted teeth): Does that satisfy you? Enough of a buildup for the match?
Angelo: It’ll do. You’ve been a smart guy to this point, Victor…..make sure you don’t undo all your efforts with one rash act on Saturday. Anyway, I have to go – See you at the PPV.
Angelo walks off, whistling “we’re in the money”. Latino stands still for a moment, thinking over in his head all the events that have led him to this point, before he too makes his way out.

#2 Warfare: G Unit vs BK London / TNT - ACW Tag Team Championship
The scene returns to the main arena, and the atmosphere is truly special; the fans are sure they’re about to see a legendary match. The requisite ladders are prepared at the sides of the ring, and the tag belts suspended above it; Philip enters, and he has a piece of paper in his hand.
Philip: Ladies and Gentlemen, we have reached the main event for this evening. I have just been informed that Chairman Gingerdude has decided that this match will be contested under a No Disqualification stipulation……
There’s the sound of murmuring from the crowd; the fans are certain that BK and TNT are planning to defend their titles through brute force, much as they acquired them just four days previously.
Philip: So, presenting first, from Chicago California – he is the reigning International Champion and one half of the ACW Tag Team Champions…..TNT!
”Away” by Mercy Drive heralds TNT’s arrival; he walks out with his normal arrogant expression and doesn’t seem at all phased by the match to come. He enters the ring and stalks around it, his every movement a declaration of intent.
Once TNT’s had his moments in the spotlight, “Two Words” blares into the arena and the crowd boos with vigor as BK London enters to join his tag team partner.
Philip: And the second member of the tag team champions, he is the reigning ACW World Champion…B – K - London!
BK bears his belt proudly; for him, being a double champion is the most natural thing in the world. He taunts the fans with the gold before entering the ring, and slaps hands with TNT as the referee contends with the weight of the belts he has to manipulate.
The crowd goes on booing the tag champs; there’s a delay, and the men in the ring smirk. Philip’s mic picks up TNT’s comment to BK.
TNT: Heh, perhaps they wised up and chickened out. Maybe they’re not as dumb as they-
At that very second, “Defy You” hits, and the audience dissolves into thunderous cheers. Even they, however, are drowned out a little by the sound of a large engine…
Philip: And the challengers, from Saskatchewan Moosejaw and Toronto Canada……Gooeygarth and the ACW Junior Champion JonnyG – G-G-G-G-G Unit!
The engine noise gets louder, and then from the side of the stage a curtain is pulled back. The fans go mental as they see Gooey and Jonny riding in – but this is no moped. It’s a cherry picker, and a tall one at that; G Unit drive it down until it’s close to the ring at the base of the ramp, and disembark to a massive pop.
Both Jonny and Gooey slide in; they’re all fired up, and the referee has to strongly raise his voice to stop a mass brawl breaking out there and then. He takes Jonny’s singles belt and passes it out of the ring, before holding up the tag belts; with the fans already incredibly loud, he calls the teams to order. Although it’s a No DQ match, the formalities have to be observed, and BK and Gooey opt to begin the match with their partners heading to the corners. Knowing that he’s done all he can, the referee nods to the timekeeper, and the fans go ballistic as the match finally begins.
Bell Rings.
As BK and Gooey start throwing huge punches at one another, TNT is already thinking about how to get the belts down. He grabs the ladder on his side of the ring, lifts it, and then runs so that the front of the ladder juts through the ropes and strikes Gooey hard in his side. Gooey tumbles over and BK grasps the ladder, taking it from TNT; he sets it up and starts climbing, with Gooey hot on his heels. Gooey catches up to BK near the top, and the pair start trading blows on the ladder – they keep moving upward, and BK sees a window of opportunity. He grabs Gooey by the hair and rams his head into the top of the ladder, and the crowd screams as BK executes the Revolver, propelling both men away from the ladder as they fall to the mat. The ladder topples and ends up lying against the top rope – TNT jumps up on to it and intends to use it as a launching platform for the Air TNT on to Gooey, but Jonny pursues him and the pair start a brief fight balancing on the ladder. TNT then pulls off the RKO, dropping Jonny on to the metal face first and opening a wound; the effects, however, also reach TNT too and he holds his lower back as he rolls off of the now slightly dented ladder. All is chaos as the men get back to their feet; BK tries to capitalize on Jonny, Jonny whips BK to the ropes and lifts BK into his Samoan Drop. BK, however, counters and rebounds into a dropsault whilst in the air; he lands on his feet while Jonny hits the mat hard, evidently still suffering from being busted open by TNT shortly before.
Still determined to make this match as short as possible, BK sets the ladder back up and climbs it once again. It’s déjà vu for BK as this time Jonny pursues; the pair end up at the top of the ladder and they both get a hand to the belts, balancing precariously on the very top. Below them, however, Gooey and TNT are engaged in their own battle; TNT goes for an RKO, but Gooey twists away and shoves TNT back hard against the ladder. Both Jonny and BK slip and land, crotching themselves on the ladder; all the men in the arena shed a tear or two in sympathy. Furious at having his move blocked, TNT superkicks Gooey in retaliation, and this time the ladder falls for the second time in about 10 minutes; BK and Jonny bail out with superb timing and roll to protect themselves as they land on the outside mats – the ladder itself hits the ramp and then collapses on to it.

TNT and Gooey roll out of the ring and the battle shifts to the ramp area. BK and Jonny are recovering from their fall, so it’s left to TNT and Gooey to battle for now; TNT hits Gooey with a mighty suplex, but Gooey throws his weight to one side and so just about misses the ladder. Gooey’s up first, and spotting something underneath the ring he nips over and pulls out a large stack of tables. TNT charges Gooey, who once again narrowly avoids the attack; TNT pivots and comes back, and Gooey snatches up the fallen ladder to use it as a shield. TNT, thinking fast, leaps up and hits a double legged – VanDaminator to Gooey, who is sent sprawling backwards. TNT has a few seconds of peace, and he uses them to set up 3 tables around the ring before heading over, and assisting BK back to his feet. Seeing that Gooey’s still dazed, BK and TNT grin and quickly set Gooey up for a double suplex through one of other tables; the crowd roars as Jonny gets back into the land of the living and breaks the move up. A four – way scrap ensues for a few seconds as Gooey draws BK away; Jonny rakes TNT’s eyes and then hits a swift neckbreaker to stun him. The crowd goes bonkers as Jonny lifts TNT up on to his shoulders and ascends to the apron next to a table; he sets up and nails his Jonormous Slam, shattering the table and knocking TNT out. Jonny raises his arms in the air, but he’s missed what’s happening on the other side of the ring – BK and Gooey have moved around to end up close to the announce desks, and BK gives Gooey a nasty DDT face first on to the apron. With Gooey down, Jonny doesn’t stand a chance of seeing BK racing toward him across the ring – BK smashes Jonny off of the apron and then without pausing springs up the nearest post and pulls off the From Brooklyn to London on to Jonny before he can get out of the way. Once again the brutal match has left all four men on the floor, and it’s a few seconds before any of them start to stir….
One table is down, and as BK staggers up he sees that two are left. Jonny’s still in a bad way on the ground, but BK has a new idea in his head. Taking up the dented ladder he lays it between the two tables like a bridge; Jonny tries to pull himself up on the apron, and BK “helps” him, setting Jonny up on his shoulders ready for a DVD straight on to the metal. The crowd yells, and Jonny responds; he struggles free and drops behind BK, just about managing to land on the apron. He throws a massive punch that almost spins BK 360 degrees, lifts him…. and powerbombs the World Champion right on to the ladder, severely bending it to the point where it is now no longer usable. As this is happening, TNT and Gooey have found one another, and Gooey is trying to prevent TNT from making use of the second, undamaged ladder. TNT however will have none of this – he batters Gooey with a flurry of punches to the gut, and then uses one of his powerful Fishermen’s suplexes to still his foe. With the crowd booing, TNT hops up to the apron and then to the corner; he leaps up for the Air TNT, but Gooey rolls aside and instead TNT meets with the ladder. The crowd cheers, and they keep going as they see that Jonny’s about to repeat his Jonormous slam / Table combo, this time to BK. BK, though, isn’t keen; as Jonny holds him up, hyping the crowd to the max, BK slides off of his shoulder and instead lifts Jonny skywards, in preparation for his own “Waffle Face” (Double arm chickenwing Sit Out Facebuster). BK shouts, and TNT responds; the International champ shakes the stars from his head and rushes over to execute his own RKO on Jonny while he’s mid – way through his plunge through the second table. The furniture is almost completely obliterated, and the crowd roars “HOLY SHIT” at the sheer audacity of the move. TNT and BK get back up, and seeing Gooey propping the serviceable ladder up by the corner of the ring as he tries to prepare for an ascent, they turn to one another and smile….
Gooey takes the hint from the sound of the crowd – he jumps back down off of the apron and kicks BK away, but TNT’s right behind him and he neatly pulls off a Capture Suplex, sending Gooey back into the propped ladder. Gooey groans, but he won’t gie up just yet; he bravely tries to take on both BK and TNT at once. BK forces Gooey back into the crowd with a clothesline; the fans scatter, and BK picks up the nearby ladder as Gooey gets up. Almost as soon as he’s vertical, Gooey is sent crashing backward again as TNT leaps to the guard railing and dropkicks the ladder into Gooey’s face; Gooey sprawls, and the fans boo furiously, simulataneously helping Gooey to his feet. TNT and BK laugh, but suddenly they hear a mechanical whine; TNT turns first, and sees that the cherry picker is rising, with Jonny on it! The crowd scream with delight as they realize that Jonny doesn’t now need a ladder; TNT rushes over and tries to halt the picker with the controls, but only succeeds in making it swing side to side. Seeing that in a few seconds Jonny will be in reach of the belts, TNT scrambles up the mechanical arm to the picker’s top; Jonny makes a grab for the gold, but TNT reaches him and pulls him back. The crowd gasps as a brief struggle ensues, and as the picker reaches the far side of its swing they scream as TNT uppercuts Jonny out, sending him plunging to the crowd below…..

There’s no time for the fans to get out of the way……
So they don’t. Instead they actually bunch up, raising their hands; someone shouts for everyone to bend their knees on impact, and they do so – cushioning themselves and Jonny from serious injury. The rest of the crowd goes nuts and Jonny is “crowd – surfed” back to the ring surround; he rushes to the picker and starts its descend just before TNT can grab the belts himself. Jonny thumps the panel to disable the machine, and all four men recover to the ring. Jonny and Gooey stand, ready to take on anything, but as TNT distracts them they fail to see BK bringing two chairs with him to the ring. TNT throws Gooey aside into one of the posts, and then pulls off a diamond cutter to stun Jonny. The match clearly can’t last much longer, and those belts seem as far away as they’ve ever been……
Jonny is still clearly dazed, but he struggles to his feet nonetheless. Smirking, BK passes a chair to TNT and keeps one himself; they prepare for a double Conchairto, but as TNT and BK take aim and swing, Gooey comes to the aid of his partner, pushing him aside and taking the shots to his abdomen in his stead. Gooey drops to one knee, clutching his gut, and fights to stand up – TNT, discarding his chair, signals for the end and rushes forward for the RKO. The crowd yells out, and a light pings on in Gooey’s head, and he counters to use TNT’s own rising motion and lifts him up and outward. Time seems to slow momentarily, and then TNT comes crashing down on to the last of the three tables, to a massive pop from the crowd. Furious, BK attacks Gooey with his own chair; Gooey disarms the World champion, and attempts a monumental clothesline only to be nailed in the face with the Shades of Michaels. Gooey is KOed on the spot and thuds to the mat, and BK laughs, but Gooey’s delaying tactics have given Jonny a crucial minute or so to recover. He runs forward, ready to flatten BK – and blunders straight into a Swinging Half Nelson Slam. This leaves BK as the only man still on his feet; he surveys the carnage, and then with a smile he retrieves the fallen ladder which is still in a useable condition, and sets it back up into the ring. The crowd boos angrily as BK climbs, much more slowly now that at the start of the match, and somewhere in the back a chant of “G UNIT” is building momentum……
BK reaches the point where he is within touching distance of the belts. He stretches a hand up and feels the leather and metal, and the crowd continues to make a mighty sound – something which really should have tipped off the double champ. As it is, he takes a powerful chairshot to his back from JonnyG, who’s recovered sufficiently to ascend behind him with the crowd noise to cover his progress. The ladder rocks perilously as Jonny clambers over to the opposite side of it; both men climb higher until they’re both well in reach of the belts. The fans are beside themselves as Jonny and BK exchange punches, both exhausted but neither man prepared to give up; BK scores a strong hit and taunts Jonny, but Jonny’s patience is now used up and he grabs BK by the head, slamming his cranium into the metal top of the ladder. BK’s eyes roll and he looks as if he’s about to fall down of his own accord, and the crowd is close to meltdown as Jonny steps up on to the top of the ladder. The belts are now right in front of him, all he has to do is unhook them. He puts his hands on the material, looks at the crowd, and then looks at BK….
What happens next is the stuff of watercooler and bar conversations all over the country. Even those in attendance on the night have to pinch themselves, as Jonny raises his arms up, arches his back, and then dives forward. He collects BK as he passes him, and the Richter – scale shouts of “HOLY SHIT” don’t even come close to doing justice to the effect of seeing a Sunset Flip Bomb off of a 20 foot ladder. The EMTs, who’ve been watching the contest with trepidation, race down to ringside, certain that both men will be in serious need of their help; but they halt as they see movement, and the crowd screams with joy as Jonny staggers to his feet. Gooey has come around enough to see that last insane move, and he looks at Jonny for confirmation that his friend is ok; Jonny just nods, and then the pair of them climb up the ladder, cheered on at every rung, until they come face to face at the top. Gooey looks at Jonny, Jonny looks at Gooey, and then with the broadest of grins they reach up and delicately pluck the tag belts from the air. The whole arena resonates with cheering and chanting, and G – Unit slide back down the ladder to put their feet to the mat and bring the epic match to an emotional and unforgettable conclusion.
Philip: Here are your winners……and NEW ACW Tag Team Champions….G Unit!
The arena practically explodes with a crowd almost in a state of mass hysteria; Jonny and Gooey embrace one another in a show of true friendship that is totally fitting for the occasion. Security has to strain every sinew to keep the crowd from flooding the ring and ramp, and from the back the face contingent of the ACW Roster pours out, coming to congratulate Jonny and Gooey until the talent – per – square – meter ratio is bordering on the illegal. Amid all the chaos, the medical staff usher TNT and BK away for treatment, and so there’s nothing to spoil the sweet moment; Gooey and Jonny find themselves hoisted up high on the shoulders of their colleagues, and as they hold their belts up high Gooey is handed a bottle of champagne. The label identifies it as the one seen during Latino and AK’s aborted dinner date, and from somewhere in the melee the tag champs see a patched – up Latino grinning.
Latino: Hey, no sense in wasting it, holmes!
G Unit just laugh, and the crowd roars with delight as Gooey shakes the bottle until the top bursts off, to cap an extraordinary main event. Warfare ends with the victorious pair being carried out, once again top of the tag team heap, and having struck a powerful blow against the Corporate Alliance’s plans to dominate ACW.

#1 Warfare: Ridley vs Atomc Kitsune Finals of KOTDM Lil’ Shop of Horros Match (Credit: Ridley)
Returning from the break, the cameras reveal that Ridley’s wiped most of the blood off him with the towel that Rose gave him, and has poured most of the Aquafina over his head. He looks obviously worn out, but stays upright (though sitting), leans his head back, closes his eyes, and waits. It’s Monday night by now, and the light crew has been hard at work making every inch of the arena lit up.
After several seconds, the beating of helicopter rotors becomes audible. Ridley tilts his head and listens as a pair of military-issue whirlybirds come flying into view, each carrying a half of the tremendous four-tiered steel cage known as the Lil’ Shop Of Horrors…..Version 2.0.
It slowly lowers into place over Ridley, to the cheers of the fans, so that the ring is in the central chamber. It’s the only one that’s currently lit, with a reddish glow, so how many other chambers in the LSOH there may be is open to guessing. It’s obvious from the size of them, however, that only the main one (that Ridley’s in now) actually has a wrestling ring in it. Ridley slowly stands; it’s obvious that this is the kind of environment in which he feels the most comfortable. Slowly, the main door opens, and Phillip steps in, followed by a nervous referee. In the center of the ring, he makes his penultimate announcement of the night.
Phillip: All right, folks, this is the finals, and it’s gonna be a Lil’ Shop of Horrors Match! The only way to win is by pinfall, submission, or escaping the top of the cage! ARE YOU READY?
A tremendous roar of sound nearly knocks them over as Ridley grabs the ropes in his corner, a hellish gleam coming into his eyes.
Ridley: It’s moments like this….that remind me of what I live for…..
Phillip: Then get the fuck up and LLLLET’S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
The wave of noise almost shakes the LSOH as “Final Resistance” thunders forth one last time….
Phillip: The challenger for the 2004 King of the Deathmatch title….from London, England…weighing in at 132 pounds….she is the challenging finalist for 2004…Alicia….”Atomic”….KITSUNE!!!
The curtains blow apart as AK half-runs out of the entryway and down the ramp, taking off her trenchcoat and headband on the way. However, a careful observer would notice that she’s wearing something new: a pair of white gloves that stretch all the way up to the elbows. AK jumps up onto the walkway to the cage, steps through the doors, tosses the headband over her shoulder and into the crowd, and assumes a fighting stance in the corner opposite Ridley as Phillip leaves the cage, and security officials weld the door shut. AK watches them with just a hint of trepidation, but Ridley jumps up on the top rope and screams at the fans:
Ridley: WHO’S THE MAN?!?!?
Another deafening wave of screams and the welding is completed. As the bell rings, pyro shoots off from the four corners of each tier, and it’s ON. Trap doors drop a series of difficult-to-make-out weapons from the ceiling, but neither contestant bothers with them at first, as they circle, quickly closing the distance between themselves. Ridley and AK soon find themselves within three feet of each other, one staring with exhausted, yet ice-cold eyes, the other showing just a hint of trepidation, but her fighting spirit refusing to let her back down.
It’s only then that the two notice the building chants, both of “LET’S GO KITSUNE *clap clap clapclapclap*” and “RIDLEY! RIDLEY! RIDLEY!” Briefly, they look to the side to acknowledge the fans, and then the animosity between the two finally comes to a head as AK throws the first punch. It’s a roundhouse that nails Ridley right in the jaw; he recoils slightly, but barely misses a beat as he throws a vicious punch right back, hitting AK right in the same spot. Another punch from AK is followed by another punch from Ridley, and after a second, the two are pounding at each other unmercifully with a series of thunderous exchanged punches, before Ridley gets the upper hand with a chop and sends AK for the Irish Whip.
AK ducks under Ridley’s spinning back kick on the way back, jumps onto the second rope, and hits a springboard quebrada, taking Ridley down. He’s not staying down, and is quickly on his feet; however, AK’s taken this extra time to snatch something up. It’s a cricket bat wrapped in barbed wire, which can do some serious damage, as anybody who’s seen “Shaun Of The Dead” can testify. AK raises the bat and brings it down at Ridley hard, but he rolls to the left, dodging the shot. Again she tries to bludgeon him, and this time he rolls right, then kicks her knee out from under her, bringing AK down to one knee. He quickly continues the roll and grabs something as he leaps up. As Ridley brings the weapon to bear, it’s revealed to be a lighttube bazooka, this one wrapped in razor wire rather than the traditional barbed wire. They stay back for a second, each looking for an opening, then simultaneously dash and swing. AK’s overhand shot takes Ridley cleanly in the shoulder with the cricket bat, while Ridley manages to off-balance AK with a shot from the bazooka.

AK trips and falls backwards from the impact, and Ridley tosses the bazooka onto her; as she catches it out of reflex, he hits a 180 senton onto the lighttubes. They shatter with a loud crash, and AK and Ridley cry out and wince (respectively) from both the broken glass and the razor wire. Barely slowing down, Ridley stands and drags AK up, a gleaming hate in his eyes, then slams her face first into the nearest wall of the cage. AK is dazed (and opened up at the forehead), but keeps her wits about her and ducks Ridley’s swing of a wrench. He takes a kick to the midsection as his momentum carries him forward, followed by a Spin The Bottle into the cage, reopening the cuts on the top of his head. Ridley’s slowly recovering, but AK is determined to keep on him and plants two kicks in his ribcage before grabbing a pair of scissors and grinding them into Ridley’s forehead, causing an impressive outflow of crimson.
AK turns and struggles to lift a rather massive sledgehammer, and in the process fails to see that Ridley has risen to his feet. He places a hand to his forehead, grits his fangs, and suddenly, a demonic rage darkens his features. It seems that his eyes are glowing red to those in the front row. By the time AK’s finally stood up with the sledgehammer in hand, the crowd’s roar is at an all-show high, and she turns around with some dread, only to be met with an oncoming lariat that nearly flips her over backwards. Not even letting AK catch her breath, Ridley grabs her by the back of the head, twirls around in about five full rotations, and hits her with the Torpedoes Away into the side of the cage. His move has distinctly more force than hers, and as such, the wall actually breaks, sending AK crashing through the weakened steel and into the next chamber. Ridley quickly slides through the hole she’s made. The lights come on in the chamber as both combatants enter it, and we can now see that it’s got a glass motif. Lightbulbs are mounted all over the walls, and the floor is absolutely strewn with broken glass, while assorted other things are scattered over the asphalt. Ridley, who is now officially on his adrenaline rush for the night, is paying attention to the massive fishbowl-sized bulbs, and smashes AK’s face into each and every one of the lightbulbs on the wall, singing all the way….
Ridley: LON(smash)don BRIDGE(smash) is FALL(smash)ing DOWN(smash), FALL(smash)ing DOWN(smash), FALL(smash)ing DOWN(smash)…….
AK’s barely able to stand by the time he’s done, and he finishes by hurling her halfway across the chamber onto a bed of lighttubes and glass bottles. Ridley leaps up onto the side of the cage and flies off into an elbow drop, but AK shakes the cobwebs out of her head and rolls over, causing Ridley to crash onto the glass and immediately grimace in intense pain as he clutches his elbow. The two struggle to their feet, and blood can plainly be seen pumping from Ridley’s arm at heartbeat intervals. He shrugs it off and aims a Yakuza kick at AK, but she catches the leg, hooks him in, and uses a fisherman’s buster to drop Ridley on a large porcelain lamp. Staying on offense, AK drops a knee on Ridley’s back and locks in a high-angled Catch-22. Ridley immediately craws forward, ignoring the ref’s inquiry as to whether he wants to give in, and grabs a lighttube. He twists to the side as much as he possibly can, then bashes AK over the top of the head with the tube, breaking both it and her concentration. The momentary distraction is enough to let Ridley squirm free, catch her while she’s doubled over, and deliver an inverted suplex onto a mass of stacked lighttubes.
Both the participants are now gushing blood from various spots as Ridley continues his assault, breaking a glass pane over AK’s back. As he starts to drag her to her feet, she elbows him twice in the solar plexus, then slams him into the cage wall. Ridley’s stunned again, and AK takes the opportunity to lean against the cage and pull a large, jagged piece of glass out from where it’s partially embedded in her still-clothed stomach. She screams as she does so, causing several less-than-robust crowd members in the first few rows to faint, but sucks it up (LIKE A MAN) and tosses the four-inch shard aside.

Ridley’s also up by now, though not exactly bouncing with energy, and he sees an opportunity in the resting AK. He grabs a glass sculpture of the giant pair of lips from the Rocky Horror Picture Show’s opening and charges. AK looks up just in time, and, working on total instinct, ducks and pulls back on the door, sending Ridley over her head and into the chamber they started out in. Ridley’s not put down that easily, however; he plants both palms on the ground and glares up at her. With no real recourse for the time being, AK slides into the ring, dashes across, vaults the ropes, and leaps up onto the wall, quickly climbing towards Chamber Three.
Ridley is galvanized by the sight of his apparently retreating opponent, and he follows suit, hastily trying to cut AK off from the four-by-four hole (at the juncture of the ceiling and the wall) that leads to the second tier. He’s almost gotten ahold of her to pull her down when she turns and kicks at him, almost knocking him off the wall, then jumps away and grabs onto the chainlink ceiling. Ridley recovers and dives at her, nearly spearing her off the ceiling, but AK pulls back just in time, and Ridley only manages to grab an ankle. However, he swings with his momentum, turns a back somersault in midair, and catches the ceiling as well, then shoves backwards in an attempt to mule kick her off the ceiling. AK’s hit head on and loses her grip, falling backwards, but in an amazing display of agility, rebounds off the wall with her legs and flies back to clothesline Ridley off his hanging position. Both of them fall off the ceiling, and crash into the ring with a resounding thud. AK drags herself over and pins Ridley; the ref drops and counts to two before Ridley sits bolt upright and bodily hurls AK off him.
Seeing her situation go from decent to hellishly awful, AK jerks up and bolts toward the wall again, getting a decent head start on Ridley, who once again is in hot pursuit. This time, she makes it up and into Chamber Three, whereupon the lights come on to reveal that this section of the cage has a series of what look like pool jets on the wall, along with several slots on the floor. AK doesn’t have any time to investigate the mysterious slots, as Ridley’s finally reached the second floor. He charges her, and the two smash into a wall, right between two of the jets. Ridley rears back like a striking snake, and throws a full-force hammerfist that would probably crush a watermelon, but AK ducks and Ridley smashes straight into the wall. She turns, and hits him across the chest with a chop, but suddenly a roar from the wall stops her in her tracks. All the jets in the room blast forth massive geysers of flame, which narrowly miss both AK and Ridley by the sheer chance of them being between two. As it is, however, the heat’s more than enough to make them both very uncomfortable.
After what seems like an eternity (but was actually about five seconds), the flames die down, and Ridley charges forth, looking like he’s slapping at AK---but the fans gasp as they can see more clearly. In the confusion caused by the flame spouts, he’s slipped on a pair of claw-gloves, exactly identical to the ones he used to end Pdogg’s career and assault WCW and Asmodeus. AK matrixes over backwards, nearly getting her face ripped off by the claws (which make a distinct “swoosh” sound as they cut through the air), pops back up, hits Ridley in the chest with an elbow shot, and has just enough time to flex the fingers on both hands, triggering a clicking sound----
SHHHHINK---a trio of long blades pop out of each of AK’s gloves, right from where the fingers meet the hand. She apparently had these gloves ready for just such an occasion, having suspected Ridley of using something like this. Ridley pauses for a second, a bit surprised, but shrugs as if to say “All the more intriguing” and slashes at AK again. Sparks fly up as the blades on both gloves collide, and a loud TCHING sound screeches forth as they drag down the sides of each other. AK parries Ridley’s left slash aside and thrusts in with her blades, only to have Ridley force that stab upwards with his right hand. The familiar roar starts up, and AK narrowly dodges to the side just in time to avoid a blasting fire geyser while Ridley ducks low and rolls under it, coming up with a roundhouse slash.
AK ducks the slash and goes for a “clapping” double-shot, but Ridley expertly blends with one of the arms and continues its path amidst a shower of sparks, beating aside the other. The two struggle against each other’s weaponry for a second until another roaring sound gives them pause. But it’s not a flame jet this time; a massive radial sawblade erupts out of the ground between them, and both Ridley and AK have to dive aside to avoid being relieved of certain limbs. Coming back up, they continue the slashfest like a pair of whirling dervishes, which bathes them both in sparks. AK catches one of Ridley’s uppercut-like stabs, blends to the right of it, ducks a sawblade that pops horizontally out of the wall, and hits Ridley in the chest with a front kick that knocks him over backwards. Ridley catches himself with both hands and does a back handspring at the wall, then kicks off it and goes for a double-clawed fist dive at AK, claws outstretched. AK twists into a one-handed sideways cartwheel out of the way and baseball slides under a gout of flame.

Ridley kips up, narrowly skimming over another horizontal flame geyser, and both he and AK stand, about seven feet apart, the flames dying down slightly, and the much-appreciative screams of the crowd ringing in both their ears (along with chants of “MORTAL KOMBAT” *clap clap clapclapclap*). Ridley chuckles as he realizes that neither of them has been able to even inflict a scratch on the other over the course of the entire glove fiasco, and he tosses both the claw-gloves aside. After a second of deliberation, AK does the same, and they both charge each other again.
By some act of God, none of the flames or sawblades go off as the two brawl for a second, but they don’t have much time to as Ridley bodily hurls AK against the wall, and she dents the chainlink with her landing. An immediate Ridley charge proves unsuccessful, as AK back body drops him into the same spot, which promptly breaks, sending him tumbling out onto the outside of the cage. They are currently on top of the second tier, which means either one could climb down and escape, but Ridley’s more focused on kicking the crap out of his foe right now. He springs to his feet as AK approaches him from behind, drops her with another Yakuza kick, and applies about seven stomps before picking her up and gorilla pressing her into the wall of the third tier. After a second or two of ramming AK into it, it suddenly occurs to Ridley that hey, this chainlink is reinforced and throwing her against the wall will not break it. He casually opens the door and throws her inside.
Inside this particular chamber, a series of capsules are attached to the tops of all four corners. Several more are mounted on the ceiling, which makes for a very unsettling feeling of unfamiliarity. Ridley takes a second to glance around before shrugging and picking up AK, setting up for the Ejaculator. He gets the flapjack part done, but the DDT doesn’t quite come off right, as AK catches him on the way down for a monkey flip right into one of the capsules on the wall--------and immediately off, as the capsule explodes in a ball of fire and sends him ricocheting back to the ground, his back scorched nearly black. AK stops for a second, staring in horror at what she’s done, until Ridley pulls himself up, his breath now coming in quick rasps, and starts crawling toward her. He’s obviously hellbent on revenge….but both Ridley and AK quickly realize they’ve got more things to worry about, as gasoline is now pouring down from the top chamber, trigged by the explosion. The truly horrifying thing is not that they can’t possibly risk going anywhere near the explosives now (not that they could already)….it’s that the gas, having trickled all over the cage, has to have gotten into the lower sections by now.
The same thought simultaneously comes over AK and Ridley, and their eyes widen as the roar of the flamejets starts up (as it has been periodically doing). Both of them, any thoughts of killing each other having momentarily fled, dive out of the chamber and onto the top of the second tier just as a massive explosion of light flares up over the entire LSOH, leaving the top three tiers mostly engulfed in flames. The “HOLY SHIT!” chants return with a vengeance as Ridley smacks the side of his thigh, putting out a flame that had managed to blossom on him. AK has mostly escaped fire-related injuries, but she’s not out of the proverbial/literal fire yet; it’s quickly climbing the sides of the LSOH and threatens to engulf the tier they’re standing on. She quickly begins the climb up the fourth and final tier, obviously a single chamber. It’s significantly smaller than the others, but since in last year’s LSOH, the top was FAR worse than the lower ones, most of the experienced fans point out to each other that sometimes, highly dangerous things come in small packages.
AK’s busy climbing to the top, but Ridley has something else in mind. He briefly steps into the raging inferno, and comes out with both boots soaked in gasoline and ablaze. The fans go berserk for this one, knowing exactly what’s coming, and Ridley bounces off the side of the cage, shaking AK’s grip and causing her to drop several feet, but she still manages to hang on. Ridley can adapt, however, and he leaps up next to her and shoulderblocks AK off the side of the cage. As she drops back to a crouched position on the side of the cage, wobbles, and starts standing up, Ridley leaps off, arms folded and feet together in the flaming M. Bison. Unlike most of the time, when he lands full on the head and bounces off, Ridley only hits the back of AK’s head and bounces off backwards. However, the impact is more than enough to send her crashing back to the chainlink as Ridley extinguishes his boots.
There’s no referee anymore; God only knows where he’s gotten off to, so it looks like victory will have to be achieved by escape now. Seeing as how they’re on the roof, that SHOULD be easy, but AK and Ridley are surrounded by rising flames and thirty feet up. As such, Ridley decides it’s probably wise to head for higher ground. He quickly jumps onto the top tier (where AK was climbing), climbs to the top, and slides through one of the slots in the ceiling to make it into the final chamber.
