Obviously unhappy with this result, Scott bickers with the official as to the speed of the count. Vince begins to rise, and as he gets to his feet he sees a prime opportunity. He runs the ropes opposite Scott, and comes back with a flying Dropkick which sends Scott over the ropes to the outside. The crowd cheer for Vince as he shows them that he is to be taken seriously.
Scott reaches his arm around his back as his face leaks pain; his eyes squinting and his mouth stretched in discomfort. Vince runs the ropes again, and this time flies over the top rope to the outside with a diving plancha. Scott sees this however and catches him in a Catatonic hold. Scott shakes his head and looks into the crowd. He repositions Vince to drop him into a Pendulum Backbreaker, and then cradles his neck and leg before hurling him over the crowd barrier with the Reassuring the Kill MKIII. The crowd pop at the insane spot, as Vince rests in a pile of fans and chairs.
’Fast’ Eddie Edison: REASSURING THE KILL MK III OVER THE BARRIER!!! DAAAAAAAANGEROOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUS!!!
Maxwell McNally: I can’t believe Vince is actually moving after that!
The referee has already begun the ten count, but is only up to 3 at this point. Scott slowly gets into the ring and praises himself by strutting cockily across the ring and yelling smart comments at the fans; surely that’s it for Vince. The referee reaches the 7 count, and the fans begin to rally behind Vince with a “Let’s Go Vince!” chant. Scott plays it cool by flexing his biceps and posing for the camera. But as the 9 count is announced, Vince is on the apron, and Scott turns around at a bad time. Vince springboards off the top rope and launches into a Springboard Hurricanrana even Scott himself would be proud of. He reaches back and hooks Scotts legs.
………………………………1!
……………………………….2!
……………………………Kickout!
Scott leaps from the ground as the pin is avoided and stares at Vince in shock. Vince does nothing but smile and ask for more. Scott walks right up to him and starts talking him down and yelling profanities. A reaction is what Scott wanted, and a reaction is what he gets as Vince pushes Scott in the chest. Scott gives Vince a push back, but Vince manages to outsmart Scott by using his momentum against him. He whips Scott across the ring. Scott comes back and jumps over a downed Vince. Vince gets back up and leap frogs over Scott. As Scott rebounds for a third time, he goes for a clothesline, but Vince ducks. Vince then runs the ropes on the opposite side, but Jessie trips him up, causing him to fall flat on his face. The crowd now have a reason to boo Scotts girlfriend, and that they do. The referee questions her as he sticks his head outside the ropes. Scott sees his opponent down, and so he moves towards him, but Vince uses his legs to grapevine Scotts and he brings him to the ground. He then proceeds to lock in the Delta Sunset (Muta Lock/ Inverted STF/Sickle Hold). Scott scrambles for the ropes, furiously trying to escape the hold. The crowd begin a “TAP OUT!!! TAP OUT!!! TAP OUT!!!” chant which carries on the entirety of the move, until Scott manages to crawl to the nearest ropes in a desperate attempt to relieve the pain.
’Fast’ Eddie Edison: It could have been over there, Max, but the Scarlet Assassin managing to get to the ropes just in time!
Both me seem relatively fatigued by this point in the match. Vince, clutching at his neck, pulls Scott to his feet and whips him into the corner. He has Scott under control as he turns him around and lifts him in a backdrop Suplex fashion and sits him onto the top rope. The crowd mutter to themselves as Vince ascends the turnbuckle and moves in front of Scott on the top rope. As Vince hooks Scotts neck in a ¾ headlock the crowd begin to muster up some noise, but when the Pressure Drop (Avalanche Shiranui/Sliced Bread #2) is actually executed the crowd burst with a massive pop, as it seems like Scott is down for the count. The referee drops to the mat as Vince drops an arm over Scotts chest. The crowd count with the referee.
………………………………..1!
……………………………….2!
………………………………..3!
The crowd boo as Jessie pulls the referee out of the ring just before his hand comes down for the three count. The crowd knows Vince had the win but with the underhanded tactics of Jessie Young, the youngster from Phoenix hasn’t won yet.

The referee tells Jessie to stay out of the match, and she moves away. Vince is standing by the ropes to try and get the ref back into the ring, but he turns to continue beating down on a downed Andrews; thing is…Andrews isn’t down anymore. In fact, he delivers a stiff Headshot to the temple of Vince Hall which drops him to the mat instantaneously. The crowd are distressed as the see this as the obvious finish to the match. But as the referee gets to the two count, Vince puts his foot on the ropes. Scott still covers Vince as he awaits the third slap of the referees hand; but it doesn’t come. Scott looks up to see Vince’s foot on the ropes and begins to go red. He stands up and begins to shakes the ropes in a ‘Batista’ fashion; facials and everything. He turns to face the camera, and the viewers now realize he has entered the now infamous “Fury Mode”. He let’s out his battle cry as he charges at Vince, who is standing in the opposite turnbuckle, and attempts a Running Shining Wizard in the corner, but Vince steps to the side, and Scott is hung up on the top rope. The crowd cheer for the counter, and get even more excited as Vince begins to set up for another Pressure Drop. But as Vince gets to the second rope, Scott turns around and sits on the turnbuckle, facing inwards. He stands on the second rope and releases a flurry of right hands which knock Vince silly. It seems both men are on their last legs, despite Scotts recent burst of energy. He underhooks the arms of Vince and proceeds to climb even higher; to the top rope. He yells out as he leaps over with the High Street Massacre (Top Rope Double Underhook Sunset Flip Piledriver). The crowd give a pop, if only for seeing that crazy move again for the second time in a week. Both men are laid out, but Scott begins moving not long after they hit the mat, and he rolls over slowly to drop his arm across Vince’s lifeless body.
………………………………...1!
………………………………...2!
………………………………...3!!!
Philip: Here is your winner and STILL ACW LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, SCOTT ANDREWS!!!
The crowd are happy with the match but a few are still upset at the result. Regardless, Jessie grabs the title from the timekeeper and rolls into the ring. She hands him the title and he raises his arms as “Anasasis (Xenophontis)” rings throughout the arena. Jessie has to support Scott as he walks up the entrance ramp. EMT’s rush to ringside to check up on Vince as he has still not moved after that ‘match ender’. Fade to commercials.

Golden Ticket Treasure Hunt: Part 2
The cameras return from the break showing Chairman Ginger strolling back down the corridor toward his plush office. So far, it’s been a good evening; preliminary buyrate estimates are excellent, and he has only to sit back and enjoy the rest of the show…
But alarm bells are sounding in his head before he even rounds the corner to the secretary’s ante-room; thumps and an occasional crash hint that all is not an oasis of calm within. He increases the speed of his step, and emerges into the space his secretary occupies to find her all of a flutter.
Secretary: I didn’t know what to do, Sir, there was no stopping him…
Ginger looks around, and sees that his secretary’s desk area and filing system have been comprehensively disrupted. With a slight sinking feeling as he predicts what he’ll see next, he pushes open the door to his own office.
Frankly, it looks as if a small thermonuclear warhead test has been conducted; furniture is out of place or upturned, piles of paper strewn all over the place. The culprit is still inside, and in fact is showing a large amount of inventiveness in following Ginger’s own instructions; with a chair stacked on top of the chairman’s desk, Kudo has managed to get up to the ceiling and is pushing aside the polystyrene tiles so that he can take a look inside the vacant space above. Ginger just stares for a few seconds, bereft of suitable words.
Ginger:…………………………..
Kudo senses movement, and glances down at the chairman.
Kudo: Oh, hello. I don’t suppose-
Ginger: THE CASE IS NOT IN MY OFFICE, DAMMIT!!
Kudo: Ah, but that’s just what you would say if it was, isn’t it?
Ginger starts to turn an interesting colour and is about to launch into a fresh tirade, when he narrowly misses being struck by AK who has just been whipped through the door. Santiago charges in after her and delivers the 10 gallon boot; as AK rolls around holding her face, Kudo decides to get clear of all this and quickly jumps and pulls himself up into the ceiling vault. Santiago sees his feet disappearing and leaps on to the desk, but AK is also back up and angry and she snatches a vase and chucks it at the back of Santiago’s head. Santiago stumbles and grabs on to Ginger’s curtains to stop himself falling, ripping them badly; AK gets up on the desk, and then spotting the hole in the ceiling follows in Kudo’s tracks. She just about gets her feet off of the chair before Santiago grabs it; he swings wildly as AK scrambles upward, misses her by inches and ends up smashing Ginger’s PC to bits in a shower of sparks. Now unable to reach the hole, Santiago huffs, drops the bits of chair, looks around to make sure that everything likely has already been searched, and hurries out of the office without another word. Ginger remains stunned; it looks like this match is going to be far more costly than he bargained for…
===============
On the other side of the arena, Wyvern is pursuing a different line of thought; he has deliberately moved away from the other competitors, hoping that he can find some sort of lead. As he jogs through one of the lesser used corridors, he sees a couple of crewmembers pushing crates on trolleys to a storage area, and runs up to them.
Wyvern: Hey guys, I don’t suppose either of you happened to see the Chairman today with a gold briefcase, did you?
One of the guys shakes his head, but the other gets a mischievous grin on his face that he quickly wipes away to replace with a thoughtful expression.
Man: Hmm… well, I can’t be sure, but I did see the Chairman throw something about that size into the trash earlier. You know, the big covered containers around the back in the alley?
Under normal conditions, Wyvern would most likely take this suggestion with about a kilo of salt. Tonight, however, adrenaline and the urge to win override this.
Wyvern: Really? Thanks a bunch, I’ll go and check it out at once.
He scoots off down the corridor; once he’s rounded a corner, the two men snort with laughter, pleased at how well their little frat-style prank worked…

It’s fortunate that AK and Kudo are lightweights; as they pick their way across the ceiling vault, the panels that they are forced to move upon creak under the pressure they place upon them. Kudo knows he’s being followed, and as AK gets close, he turns over and kicks her back with both feet. AK thumps on the panel as she hits it, and has to roll aside before it drops away; there is a yell of surprise from some unseen person below, and this distracts Kudo momentarily so that AK can get alongside him. She elbows Kudo in the head, hoping to hamper him so that he loses time; but Kudo is resilient and the pair roll over and over, grapping and trying to batter one another until without realizing it they both end up on the same ceiling panel. It can’t hold them, and gives way…
The crowd shrieks, afraid that the pair are going to injure themselves in the landing… but by a sheer fluke, there is a couch directly below them, which gets its suspension totaled as they crash on to it. Plaster and bits of tile rain down; the room is dark, but AK suddenly sees something on a table just a few feet away – a briefcase. She scrambles free from Kudo, rushes over and grabs the case with a yell of delight; Kudo is up and once and comes flying off the couch with a a spectacular roaring elbow, which AK just about blocks with the case. The battle is well and truly joined as Kudo uses a rolling Koppou kick to daze AK, and snatches the case for himself; he makes a break for the door, but AK lunges after him and drives him back against the wall. They both grab and fight for the case, shouting at one another and throwing their opponent against the adjacent wall – until without warning the case clips give way, and the case is pulled open, scattering pieces of paper everywhere. At about the same time, AK pushes Kudo against the light switch, and the room is illuminated.
The first thing both of them realize is that this case is black, not gold. And the second is that they’ve managed to wreck the Senatorial office in record time.
AK: Oh… knickers. The Senator is not going to like this one bit.
With the same thought, both she and Kudo run for the door; Kudo though stops and listens, and holds up a hand.
Kudo: Someone’s in the senatorial locker room…
Very carefully, he opens the door a tiny amount, and looks. Then he rubs his eyes, and looks again, before slowly opening the door. The noise from within is being made by a Koala bear, of all things.
AK and Kudo look at one another…
One minute and twenty nine seconds later, AK and Kudo slip out of the Senatorial locker rooms and high tail it off in separate directions. Fifteen seconds after this, the Senator returns from his warm-up for his match, to discover chaos in his office and a koala in his chair at his working desk, absent mindedly chewing on a copy of a forthcoming Senate bill.
Senator: What in the name of Jimmy Carter happened here?!
It’s unlikely that the Senator will be the last person to encounter the maelstrom of the ticket hunt tonight, but for now the action switches back to more regular goings-on elsewhere in the arena…

Segment: "Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath" (Credit: Rattlesnake)
??: I see you're prepared for tonight.
Rattlesnake: Of course.
??: Aren't you a little frightened about what could happen?
Rattlesnake: Why would I be?
??: Because the unexpected could happen.
Rattlesnake: The unexpected WILL happen tonight.
??: Maybe in your mind, but I would disagree with that and say that something else will happen.
Rattlesnake: And you're supposed to know this?
??: You could say that. Ever since I became Wrath, I've had some sort of way to tell what's going to happen.
Rattlesnake: So what's in store for me?
Wrath: I can't tell you. That would spoil my fun.
Rattlesnake: So you're not going to tell me if I take the Snakequalizer up against RDK's head, are you?
Wrath: I wouldn't tell you even if you didn't.
Rattlesnake: Sheesh...what an asshole.
Wrath: WHAT DID YOU SAY!?
Rattlesnake: You obviously heard me if you reacted that way, so why should I repeat myself?
Wrath: Listen shithead, I've dealt with people a lot worse than you. I've talked with all sort of people on the verge of committing the deadly sin of wrath and let me tell you something bub, they were a lot worse off than you and they didn't try and piss me off.
Rattlesnake: Listen asshole, I've had to deal with six of you tonight already and I'm a little tired of talking to all of you individually. You all represent a deadly sin that requires you to repent. The truth is I already know I'm going to hell. Bearing that in mind, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the ride and if you have a problem with that, then I suggest you fuck off because you won't be doing anything better!
Wrath: Sheesh, what crawled up your ass?
Rattlesnake: All seven of you have gotten on my nerves and since I can't take it out on you, I'll just have to do that to RDK. I'm going to take out all of my frustrations out on him tonight. And when it's all said and done, RDK is going to be busted open and I'll be standing on top of the ladder and the new International Champion.
Wrath: I see. Well my work is done. Good luck asshole, you're going to need it.
Rattlesnake: I don't need luck. I just need a victim.
Rattlesnake looks pissed off from this final confrontation, but what lies in store for his match with RDK tonight? Rattlesnake stands up and paces around the locker room, awaiting the moment when he finally steps into the ring with RDK and puts himself one step closer to the International Championship. The scene slowly fades out.
Fade Out.

Segment: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Umeko (Credit: Sarin / Yoko/Rose)
Though her skin is utterly flawless, Charlotte King takes the time to examine her face for any unsightly blemishes before switching her microphone on in the center of the ACW ring.
Charlotte King: In a few short moments, ACW's resident tag team powerhouse, Flower Power, will be joining me for an exclusive interview. Yoko Satoshi, living legend, and partner Sarin Rossi, a dominant force in her own right, are literally taking Alpha Championship Wrestling by storm--oh!
The crowd pops tremendously as the first three chimes of "Flower of Carnage" play on the loudspeakers. The cheering levels reach deafening heights as Flower Power slide into view, hands clasped tightly together. Yoko, clad in her school girl outfit as always, stares at Sarin admiringly and raises her hand above their heads to spin her around, letting the crowd appreciate her attire: tight-fitting dark blue jeans complimented with a short green top.
Charlotte: Please welcome, from Okinawa Japan, Yoko Satoshi and Sarin Rossi, Flower Power!
Yoko and Sarin slap hands with the fans nearest them, waving and smiling for the crowd's delight. On the apron, Yoko sits on the middle rope, granting Sarin easier access to the ring. They continue to wave to the fans until their music fades and Charlotte brings the microphone to her lips.
Charlotte King: Thank you, Yoko, Sarin, for the interview. Now, as you well know, you two are scheduled for a match against Chance and Umeko, later in the night. Let's show a recap of last week's events.
She directs their attention to the Alpha Tron, and the crowd immediately turns sour as Umeko graces the screen.
Umeko: You can boo all you want, but it won’t change a thing. I toppled the greatest Tag Team that ACW has ever known and I did it with style. In fact, I had a little something made that properly captures the moment that I climbed to the top of the mountain…and the moment that Flower Power plunged from its edge.
In one fluid motion, she rips the cloth off of her "surprise" and the fans boo when they see just what it is. It’s a blown up picture of the events following the match last week. Yoko Satoshi is unconscious, as is her partner Sarin Rossi. Yoko’s back is to the mat and Sarin is directly on top of her, with her head resting on her shoulder. Sarin was, of course, placed there a little earlier by Chance. The most humiliating part about this entire picture is the fact that Umeko has her foot placed firmly in the middle of Sarin’s back and she’s posing above them both like some sort of insane conqueror. To further the insult, she has a tag title belt on each shoulder. It goes without saying that it wasn’t the night that Yoko and Sarin had in mind.
Umeko: Just look at that, isn’t it glorious? Nothing captures the moment better than this picture of me standing triumphant above everybody’s favorite couple. Look at them! It’s such a photogenic moment. Even in defeat...they’ve comforting one another in a tender embrace. Yet...somehow it looks like they’ve happen to be under my foot. It’s simply heartwarming!
Charlotte King: This may seem like a stupid question, but I think everyone is dying to hear your responses...after witnessing Umeko's impromptu photoshoot session with you two, how much pain did you want to inflict upon her?
Sarin and Yoko laugh, a bit taken aback by the bluntness of the question.
Sarin: Um, I know we've been known to have a wee bit of a temper...
Yoko: We can't be trusted with weed-whackers.
Sarin fights to be overheard by the laughing crowd.
Sarin: But in all honesty, I only felt sympathetic towards Umeko. I mean, it's pretty pathetic when you resort to using a 7'0 monster to do all, and I do mean all, of your dirty work.
Yoko: Precisely. However, that's not going to stop us from delivering a whole ton of pain tonight.
The crowd cheers, excited at the prospect of an amazing bloodbath of sorts.
Charlotte King: Now, you both have remained undefeated as a tag team. That's a lot of pressure for you to cope with. Are you any at all nervous or flattered with the compliments from critics claiming that you're "the best tag team in the business today, and perhaps in history?"
Yoko: It's tough to compete under those terms. If you accept the claims that you're "perfect," then how do you improve perfection? You can't.
Sarin: So, we ignore them. We ignore all the critics. We don't listen to anyone who says we're the best, because we know we're nowhere near our personal best. We can always improve.
Yoko: Which is why, I guess, we're undefeated.
Charlotte King: In the weeks preceeding Omega Effect, both of you were under a lot of strain and tension, brought on by Umeko and her lies. But, after your match, all was forgiven, and then...the magic happened. Can ACW expect a repeat of your post Omega Effect celebrations?
Sarin and Yoko are a deep shade of red. The crowd starts an "HLA" chant, and Flower Power seems hesitant to respond. Before they can, however...
BLAM!
Sarin collapses to the floor, struck behind the back with a mighty fist. Charlotte screams and tries escaping, but Umeko pulls on her long blonde hair, tripping her to the floor. Charlotte clutches her scalp in pain, and the fans boo furiously. Yoko, however, is still intact, and still the biggest threat in the ring. She blocks a right hand from Chance and delivers a powerful one of her own, actually managing to force him into an awkward stagger. She follows up with a swift gut kick, then signals for the Flying Guillotine. The crowd groans in disappointment as Umeko sprays her perfume bottle in Yoko's face. As she spins around to check on her much vaunted Seventh Tiger, Sarin meets her mid-turn with the Rin Spin. She screeches and drops to the floor. Worrying for his Mistress’ saftely, Chance grabs Umeko and hurries out of the ring. As "Flower of Carnage" plays, Sarin assists Yoko in exiting to the back, the support of the crowd firmly lodged in their ears. Yoko picks up the stray microphone along the way.
Yoko: We’re going to pay you two back for that one, ten fold.
She drops it and only time will tell if she keeps her promise.
End Segment.

Segment: Dead Letter (Credit: Dan) Dan sits, perched on a chair, reading an FHM magazine. Seems like even at the most tense of times, man can settle down, put his feet up and read an enjoyable magazine. We sniggers at a section in the magazine, before shutting it and placing it next to him. He looks up, sighing and closing his eyes before raising to his feet. He’s in his wrestling gear, all ready to go when he notices a slip of paper resting on the floor. With a lump forming in his throat, he cautiously picks up the sheet to realise it’s a letter, addressed to him.Dan: Bollocks. He leans over and grabs the letter, ripping it open unmercifully. He flings it open. Three-folded, very formal. He starts to read.
Dear Daniel James White II I have written this second message on the 24th June 2006. My message to you is that they have becoming increasingly impatient and concerned with the village’s welfare and safety. They have accused myself of summoning the Demon that stalks our village, and recently murdered an elderly lady resided on this island. I’m sorry this message isn’t any longer, but I have very little time now to myself.
Please save us, Dan. You’re our only hope. Dan: BOLLOCKS! He’s not amused, dropping the letter on the floor with as much force as you can with a piece of uncrumpled paper.
Fade Out.

Match 8: Open Challenge Dan White vs. Mystery Opponent (Credit: Dan) The fans anticipate the next match as a crank is heard and the cage begins to descend from the rafters. Philip speaks from the outside of the ring.Philip: The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is a Steel Cage match! Coming first to the ring, from Cardiff, Wales, weighing at 225 lbs...”The Welsh Dragon” Dan White! The lights fade as the Through Fire and Flames hits, and a spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Dan walks out, with the Welsh flag on his back (like how the British Bulldog used to do back in the day). He slowly walks down to the ring, with the spotlight following but as it reaches the bottom of the ramp, the spotlight turns off and red and green lights flash around the arena. Dan then drops the flag and climbs the steps, climbing into the cage and then onto two turnbuckles. He jumps down, and the lights go back to normal.Philip: And his opponent, from Hartlepool, England, weighing at 240 lbs...”The Shooter” Jonny Hughes! The ACW Arena's lights cut out and White and Green lights flash over the arena, out from the curtain steps "The Shooter" Jonny Hughes, as he heads to the ring he taunts the ACW fans at ringside. He walks over to the cage and enters it, watching his opponent carefully as the referee locks the door shut.Bell rings Dan and Jonny circle the ring before engaging in a forceful grapple hold. Dan quickly shoves it off and takes a couple of steps back, posing and mocking Jonny. The fans begin to cheer for Dan, obviously feeling sympathetic to the guy after his recent struggles. He locks up with Jonny again but the Shooter forces Dan away with his left hand, proceeding to fire in a couple of forearm shots with his right. Dan’s forced to retreat in the corner and is a little quick, able to bear a couple of seconds rest before Jonny responds with a couple of hard kinfe edge chops to the chest. Each one feels like a dagger piercing into Dan’s pecs as he lets out a small wail of anguish. But he’s able to stand the chops enough to swiftly duck under Jonny’s arm and throw him into the turnbuckle. He proceeds to deliver a taste of Jonny’s own medicine, chopping him hard several times in the chest to a pop from the fans. He attempts an Irish Whip into the far corner, but Jonny keeps hold of Dan’s arm and sends him instead. Dan hits off the turnbuckle, stumbling back, straight into a Powerful German Suplex. He bridges the hold into a cover: 1... 2... Kickout by Dan. Jonny rises to his feet and grabs Dan by his hair, forcing him up. Jonny boots him in the midsection with a toe kick and attempts a Swinging Neckbreaker, only for Dan to charge forward with a sudden rush of energy, forcing Jonny into the ropes and ultimately, hitting the cage wall. Dan sidesteps and allow the ropes to catapult Jonny forwards a little, before striking a Roundhouse kick to the back of Jonny’s head. Jonny falls to his knees, and Dan hits what turns out to be an effective bulldog not for the impact, but for the way Jonny rolls over, in a perfect position in Dan’s eyes. Dan reaches a turnbuckle and begins to climb it. But he slips making his way up and this allows time for Jonny to recover. Jonny rolls onto his front and crawls towards the ropes, helping himself to his feet. Dan’s unaware of Jonny’s recovery, and is still trying to climb the turnbuckle. Jonny therefore is free to do as he sees fit and grabs Dan by his neck before throwing him to the floor. Dan’s in a bit of pain, but he refuses to show it as Jonny lifts him to his feet again. Jonny throws a couple more chops, before whipping Dan at the ropes. Dan flies off them, recieving some damage at the result of connecting with the steel cage, before returning to the centre of the ring. Jonny sends him to the floor with a Tomahawk Chop. Dan gets to his feet quite swiftly, but looks like he’s smiling as Jonny sends him to the mat again with a vicious Snap Suplex. Dan rolls onto his front, holding his back with his hands and appears to be in considerable amount of pain. Jonny grabs him by the forehead and throws him forcefully to his feet. He then rubs Dan’s forehead into the steel mesh, resulting in Dan’s skin breaking and a flow of blood to be unleashed. Jonny releases Dan and he falls to the floor, trying to halt the flow of blood, as well as trying hard not to let out a girlish cry. Jonny sees this as a good chance to win the match as he lifts Dan back to his feet again. He boots Dan into the midsection, and lifts the Welshman onto his shoulders, attempting to go for the Omega Effect (F-5 variation). But Dan struggles and lands on his feet behind Jonny, hitting a Rear Naked Choke Drop as he lands. Dan climbs to his feet and rests on the ropes, feeling his injured ribs. He attempts to lift Jonny up, but Jonny tripes him on the floor and attempts to lock in the Fujiwara Armbar. But Dan manages to struggle to the ropes quickly and survives. Both men rise to their feet, and Jonny attempts a clothesline. Dan ducks and plants a hard forearm to Jonny’s head. Jonny stumbles backwards, dazed, and Dan quickly climbs the turnbuckle, leaping off and hitting the Dragonara. He makes the cover with the move: 1... 2... Kickout by Jonny.

Both men get up, the move not taking too much out of either of the two. Dan throws a punch but Jonny blocks it. Jonny then throws a kick but Dan catches the foot, swinging Jonny around 360 degrees. Jonny’s dazed, and Dan hits the Stunt Bomb sweetly and to perfection. But it doesn’t seem enough for Dan, and he lifts Jonny back to his feet, before delivering the Shellshock. The impact almost breaks Jonny’s neck, and he’s slumped on the floor, clearly out of the action as Dan begins to climb the cage. He begins to climb the cage quite effortlessly and easily, managing to reach the top with ease. Once on the top, he glares down at Jonny, and smirks. The fans leap to their feet, as Dan abouts to hit the Lone Dragon Corkscrew Moonsault...
...But instead Dan continues smiling, and shakes his head. He begins to climb down the other side of the cage, hitting the bottom, and the bell ringing to the sound of several jeers from the crowd.
Philip: Here is your winner...’The Welsh Dragon’ Dan White...
Philip seems surprised as Dan begins to walk up the ramp, his entrance music not turning on. He focuses downwards, as the fans begin to abuse him.
Fan 1: Why the fuck didn’t you jump? Asswad!
Fan 2: Fuck you, Welsh Dragon! Screw us over why don’t you?
Dan shakes his head with disgust as he continues walking up the ramp. He’s not amused, and nor are the fans. But when the camera points to the ring and we see Jonny Hughes shaking his head in disgust, you know there’s a problem.
Fade to commercial.

Segment: That annoying dryness at the back of your mouth (Credit: Dan)
We cut from commercials abruptly with the sound of a very familiar voice, before the camera even has a chance to fade in.
Gingerdude: What the heck was that?!
The camera finally fades in to show Gingerdude glaring over Dan. Dan is seated in a chair in the Chairman’s office, which is still in a state of complete chaos after the “visit” by the Golden Ticket hunters. Dan is appearing very disinterested, clearly his mind on other things.
Dan: You gave me a cage. I defeated him. So what?
Gingerdude glares at Dan, rant with fragments spit flying out of his mouth.
Gingerdude: Not ONLY did you make yourself look like an idiot, you made the Corporate Alliance look weak at the same time! I cannot believe this...this is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable.
Dan stares into nowhere, hands clasped together and trying his hardest to ignore the recent shower he recieved.
Dan: Again, I failed to see what I did wrong. Was it because I didn’t jump on him at the end? Well I did that because I thought I’d get hurt. You see, if I’m going to be leaving you for this island in the middle of nowhere, I might as well be in tip-top shape, mighten I?
Gingerdude’s face turns as red as his hair.
Gingerdude: YOUR PERFORMANCE OUT THERE MADE ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. DO I NOT MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!
Dan: You wouldn’t change your formation from 4-5-1 to 3-4-3 when you’re winning by a single goal with ten minutes to go, would you?
That was quite possibly the final straw.
Gingerdude: Out of my office. Now. You’re Fired.
The news comes as a bit of a surprise to Dan, whose eyes widen at the sound of those cursed words. He opens his mouth, but closely shuts it. He moves his chair backwards, stands up and calmly utters some final words.
Dan: Very well then. I’ll be seeing you around.
He heads towards the door, closing it in a very subtle manner. Gingerdude is raging with anger, pacing back and forth; about 3 seconds after Dan leaves, the door gives up its fight with gravity and falls off.
Ginger: I swear, if just one more thing pisses me off tonight, he won’t be the only person sent packing…
Fade out.[/i]

Segment: Retro Segment #53 (Credit: Yoko / Sarin)
December 10th, 2005 Okinawa, Japan Prison
??: I could get in trouble for this, you know.
A male policeman is shown standing next to a police van, parked near Sarin and Yoko’s car.
Sarin: We know, that’s why we won’t tell.
Policeman: I’m only doing this to help you two out. I believe in what you’re doing. Please don’t prove me wrong.
Yoko: Right, we appreciate it.
The policeman looks around to make sure no one else is around, and then opens up the back of the van. Inside is an inmate. He sees the super heroes and panics.
??: I’ve been good! I’ve been good!
Sarin: We know you have…Two Hands.
Yoko: You’re still in jail. Not even an attempt to escape. You’re very good.
Two Hands: What do you want? I gave you all the information I had! And then you accused me of sexual harassment and the guards hurt me!
The policeman coughs.
Police: That happens a lot, unfortunately.
Yoko: We want you to help us. Physically this time.
Sarin: Do you remember The Fox? Do you remember Quiver Man? If I recall, they were your friends.
Two Hands: Of course I remember them. What about them?
Yoko: The Fox broke out again, an-
Two Hands: Again? How does he keep doing that?
Sarin: Quiver Man is out, too. We’re not sure how they got out, but we’re fairly certain it’s because of The Engineer. He’s the leader of a criminal group called The Legion, and they’re allied with him. It’s too much for us to handle.
Two Hands: I told you, I don’t know an engineer!
Sarin: We need you to talk to Fox and Quiver Man. Get them to quit. To even up the odds.
Two Hands: And why should I do this? You can’t get me out of jail any faster.
Yoko: Have you heard of Jinx?
Two Hands: Engineer, Jinx, Frost, Gatogal…Talk about oversaturation. No, I haven’t heard of Jinx.
Yoko: What about The Punisher?
Two Hands: The Marvel guy? Of course.
Sarin: The same concept applies. Jinx murders criminals. If we don’t stop The Legion, she’s going to find a way to kill them. Including your friends.
Two Hands: Let’s say I wanted to help. I’m in prison.
Policeman: I can give you eight hours, we can say you got a job. No one will look into it…I hope. But you have to be back in eight hours.
Two Hands ponders for a moment.
Two Hands: I’ll do it. But for my friends, not for you.
The policeman unlocks the handcuffs. Two Hands raises his two hands in front of his face.
Two Hands: Finally, my two hands are free!
Yoko: For eight hours.
Two Hands: Right, let’s go.
Sarin: I think I know a bank they’ll-
Two Hands: We’re not going to a bank. We’re going to the Dirty Mongoose. They’ll be there.
Yoko: Er…Right, then.
Two Hands gets into the backseat of their car while they get into the front. Sarin is driving.
Policeman: Remember, eight hours!
End Segment.

Golden Ticket Treasure Hunt – Part 3
Man: Ow! OWWWWW! Look, I said I was sorry-
Wyvern is clearly not in the best of moods; since we last saw him, he’s searched the ACW garbage disposal facilities with no result to show for it, and on his way back into the arena has come across the two men who mis-directed him on the fruitless search. The first was reasonably fortunate, receiving only a few punches and a DDT; the second, more guilty party is currently locked into the Deus Ex Machina. He taps wildly, which goes some way to relieving Wyvern’s stress; conscious of the time situation, he finally lets the man go, opens up one of the cases he was transporting, and dumps the man inside it to give him an opportunity to contemplate the foolhardiness of giving false information to an extremely powerful superstar.
Wondering where to look next, Wyvern walks a little way from the scene, and finds himself approaching the ACW interview area. Charlotte is there doing some equipment checks; she wrinkles her nose as he gets close.
Charlotte: Hey… don’t take this the wrong way, but, well, you don’t smell all that great.
Wyvern: Yeah, I know.
Charlotte: Why not take a quick shower? It shouldn’t be that busy right now, lots of people have already been through. I even saw the Chairman go in there just before the show began.
Wyvern’s attention, which had been wandering, is immediately right back with Charlotte.
Wyvern: Are you sure? You’re not trying to sell me a false lead, I hope…
Charlotte: Well, I don’t know, to be truthful. He had a towel with him, it could just be co-incidence and he was just getting ready, but I’ve not seen him use the communal facilities before.
Wyvern: Hmm… well, it can’t hurt to look…
With a new possibility to explore, Wyvern quickly makes tracks. A shower might be a good idea after all…
===============
The four treasure hunters have already covered quite a large amount of ground; wherever the case is hidden, it’s been well concealed. AK is starting to run out of ideas as she exits the building; she scans the parking lot, looking for anything that is new or out of place, but it appears completely normal.
Walking around one side of the building to re-enter through a different set of doors, she comes across two things that she wasn’t expecting to find; a small, plain white truck, and BK London, leaning against the wall of the building and speaking into a cellphone. Evidently the signal is better here than in the main building.
BK: Ok, that’s great. See you.
BK pockets the phone as he notices AK looking around the truck. At first he is on his guard, and AK reacts in the same way when they catch one another’s eye. When it becomes clear that neither of them wants to waste energy fighting right now, they relax a little.
BK: So… you got one of those notes?
AK: Yeah. Any chance that Ginger confided to you where he put the briefcase?
BK laughs.
BK: No. I bet I’d have found it by now, though.
AK snorts a little, and gives the back doors of the truck a kick. They open up easily… to reveal that the truck is empty.
AK: Well, so much for that bright idea. This truck seems to have no purpose whatsoever…
She peeks into the driver’s cab, but that’s empty, too. BK scratches his chin.
BK: Just like the one next to the S.S. Anne…
AK is stumped for a moment, but then laughs at the reference.
AK: Oh, yes! You remember that rumor too? What a load of bunkum that was…
A pause. She and BK look at one another, fighting the urge to indulge a childish curiosity for about 0.3 of a second. They then bend down, and peer under the truck…
…
??: Mew?
The two of them almost bash their heads on the undercarriage of the vehicle in surprise. AK looks again into the shadow, then stands up.
AK: Hehe… good one BK, you almost had me there. I can’t hang about though, so can you shoo Richard Parker out for me before you leave? Thanks…
She jogs off across the paving and into the building; BK rubs his head and ducks down again – and for a split second his eyes widen before something shoots past him, far too fast for the camera to capture on film. One thing is certain, however… it is most certainly not black; in fact, it’s the very opposite. BK does a double take, and then kicks the tire of the truck.
BK: Damn, no one is ever going to believe me on this one!
==================
Not all that far from where BK has had his close encounter, Santiago and Kudo have run into one another, and the results are explosive. Crew members race to get clear as the two fight their way down a corridor; Kudo belts Santiago repeatedly with his fearsome kicks, which makes Santiago reply with a clubbing forearm and then a snap suplex. Kudo winces as he hits the floor, but is up again in an instant, and Santiago takes the full force of a Brainbuster (accompanied by a collective yell of “BRAINBUSSTAHH!!” from the crowd and commentators). Seeing a chance to get clear, Kudo leaps up; Santiago grasps his ankle and pulls him back down, and as Kudo fights to his feet Santiago kicks him forcefully in the knee and scarpers. Kudo gives chase; he is gaining on Santiago, who dives around a corner; Kudo rushes after him, only to find that Santiago has ducked down in front of a mystery man seemingly waiting there. The man mists Kudo in the eyes, using one of Kudo’s preferred moves against him; it’s unclear whether the man is allied with Santiago or not, as he’s already disappeared as Santiago jumps up. Santiago has had a fresh idea; he follows his nose as he hurries out of sight…
The crowd is starting to get into this unconventional match; but for now, the shot switches back to the arena, where an altogether different contest is about to begin…

Match 9: Rena Matheson vs. Lilly Rouge (Credit: Rena) Death Metal [Rena] vs. Innocent Heart [Lilly] Just occasionally, the ACW arena becomes a battleground for forces that are beyond the norms of explanation. Though none has realized it until now, tonight is to be one of those rare occasions, and it is best not to seek knowledge or understanding, but simply to watch, learn, and be spellbound….
-----------------------------
Years ago, in a world beyond our own comprehension, there was a personal war between two Queens. The Queens, Death Metal and Innocent Heart, were constantly battling for perfection over the other. Much like Rena and Lilly, this feud had its dominance and submissiveness and finally came to a final battle to determine which one were the better Queen. Though their rivalry was short, the battle was long and tiring, and both died at the same time. While lying on the battlefield, they did not admit defeat collectively, but vowed one day their spirits would finally end this life-long battle. Who would win next time? No one knew, and with this…the final battle began.
A sweet, holy music fills the arena as the match begins. Phillip is not present, as he was previously asked not to partake in anything to do with this match. Absolutely nothing was and still is known about this match, which resulted in many musing about it being a plain match between the two competitors. Due to Rena taking an interest in flames in a public building, most members of the ACW team wondered if she would even show up. Some had begun rumors that they heard her cackling to herself as she left that night; some had said she disappeared into thin air. Though these rumors may or not be true, it can be said Rena had not been seen since. Nonetheless, the match was still slated to begin. As the chorus of holy music began to melodically serenade the crowd into calm pressure, a woman dressed in a white cloak with the hood off her head and on her shoulders walked onto the ramp with her fingers linked in prayer. Her lids were shut closed as six white mages circled around her to usher her to the ramp. They were dressed much like her, though they kept their hoods on. It was the Innocent Heart, the only one destined to end the long reign of evil. She had been exposed to such a fate since childhood, though she never knew it. She entered the ring via stairs in the middle of the apron. It was an odd décor due to there being no posts or ropes to complete the ring. Without these items they seemed much like a square plank of wood with a large white cloth on it. The ACW logo ring skirt was gone, replaced by delicate white silk. The cloaked men surrounded the girl in almost a protective manner. The girl kneeled and begun to hold her hands in prayer as the holy music and haunting songs from the cloaked priests carried on. The crowd continued to be silent, confused and oblivious to what was happening before them.
All of a sudden, the music and singing stopped. The innocent heart continued to keep her eyes shut as a symphony song picked up in a malicious song. The beat pounded the arena, and to much the crowds’ disbelief, the arena ceiling grew cloudy and dark. A black staircase began to build itself, slowing beginning at the ceiling and spiraling down to the ring. As this was happening, the white cloaked men burst into flames to reveal black cloaks. They all jumped in the air, heading for the innocent heart, but to no avail she raised her hand, her eyes still closed, and with that the men disappeared in a single cloud of smoke. She unbuttoned her cloak, positioning herself with one knee of the ground and one knee up. Opening her eyes, she knew who she was watching. The Death Metal was wearing a black cloak, revealing black leather bra-top and leather booty shorts. The psycho theme played shortly as the stairs behind Dark metal burst into flames and disappeared behind her every step. The Innocent Heart ran up the stairs to meet Dark Metal somewhere in between this chaos. As she approached her, Dark Metal, now as Rena, held out a hand and shot out a wave that pushed Innocent Heart, now as Lilly, backwards. Rena gazed at the fallen Lilly, who was now on her back against the steps, and smiled contently at the fallen hero. She let out a battle scream announcing a quick victory but Lilly’s eyes shot open and grabbed Rena’s chest, monkey flipping her down a couple of steps. Badly hurt, Rena acted quickly and grabbed Lilly’s hair, tossing her over the un-railed steps and hurdling into the ring area. Lilly’s body pounded into the ring, causing a crater effect to happen.
When the smoke and dust had cleared, white feather danced from the centre of the crater to reveal Lilly bracing herself, her left arm holding her up and she squatted on the floor. Rena glared and jumped from the staircase, landing outside of the ring, allowing the stairs to completely burn away into nothingness. She jumped in one great leap to the ring as Lilly crawled her way from within the crater. With everything she had, Rena grabbed Lilly’s left leg and began to spin her in the air in a circular motion. With her right leg, Lilly was able to kick Rena’s face and leap off from Rena’s grasp and do a back flip in mid-air slow motion style. While upside down, she looked towards Rena and shot white bullets from a glowing pistol. Rena dodged most, but was hit in the arm. Screaming was heard shortly as the bullet pulled through the arm. Black blood ran from Rena’s body as Lilly landed to her feet.Rena: How dare you put filth into my arm! Lilly: You were filth to begin with.

And with that exchange, the battle continued. Lilly jumped and clipped her legs around Rena’s neck. Swinging, she pulled herself down to brace her hands on the ground as she kicked her legs and sent Rena flying onto the ramp. Rena rolled, landing on her side and her arm holding her ribs. As Lilly ran up the ring, Rena opened her palms to create a wall of flames blockading Lilly from her. Lilly pushed her arm against her eyes to shield herself from the heat, and backed up. Her calm face took on a fearful look as Rena’s shape emerged and moved through the flames. Her eyes were black and cold, gazing at Lilly in an evil form. Lilly didn’t take notice, leaping at Rena, hooking her arm around Rena’s neck and driving her off the ramp and onto the floor. Lilly straddled Rena and punched with her fists until a force emerged and sent Lilly spiraling to the ring. A puff of smoke brushed off of Lilly as Rena cleaned herself off, quickly cared for her injuries, and quickly rushed to Lilly. Lilly’s eyes were closed and seemed to be in a coma state, but when Rena reached her she ripped off her white-gloves and hurled her fists at Rena. Rena dodged, but was brushed off her feet by Lilly’s spinning legs. Both women lie on their backs, but both tumble to separate sides of the ring and fall to the floor. Lilly rested her back against the ring, accumulating the battle so far. Everything was so quick, but both competitors needed some rest time.
Though it was short, the vacation was over. The ring smashed into a million pieces as Rena shot her self through it. The wood splintered and fell into ruins on the floor as Lilly spun around and met Rena with her own strength. Both women weren’t budging at all until Lilly grabbed something from her pocket. It seemed like a pearl, shining and shimmering in the light. Rena knew what it was, and gasped as it eroded into Lilly’s body, giving Lilly enough strength to powerhouse Rena off of her. Rena, on the floor now, raised her head quickly to find Lilly hurling every piece of wood from the dismantled ring towards her. She used her arms and strength to plough through the wood, running at rapid speed towards Lilly. Lilly used one last hope, using a huge block of wood against her foe, but Rena grabbed it lightly and swung it against Lilly’s head. Lilly’s body flopped into the security barricade and slumped onto the ground.
Rena: Who’s the filth now, huh?
Lilly: You don’t think I’m that easy…
Rena: I never would have dreamt such a thing.
Rena grabbed a metallic chair, and ran to Lilly’s body. Lilly was still on the ground, but was able to kick her legs in the air to push the chair into Rena’s face. Without warning, the chair connected with her face and sent Rena sprawling to the ground. Lilly smiled, but Rena revealed a leather whip from her cloak and wrapped it around Lilly’s leg, winding her arm to send Lilly into the crowd. On lookers fell over from the power of Lilly spilling into the crowd, but most were able to get out of the way. Rena stood on top of the security railing and jumped off to hit a spinning DDT on poor Lilly. There was nothing more fulfilling than to destroy Lilly, but Rena wasn’t done having fun. She picked her up by the hair and threw her high into the air. She jumped up, grabbing Lilly’s shirt and positioning them selves upside down for another flight. Lilly growled and fought back by kicking Rena’s shin to gain advantage. She turned the tables and threw Rena head-first into the announcers table. Rena rolled on the ground, eyes closed, as Lilly landed on her feet beside Rena.
With a clear advantage now, Lilly grabbed Rena’s arm and held it within her legs, wrapping her arms around Rena’s neck and pulling up. Rena couldn’t move, and she was feeling herself becoming drowsy. She couldn’t stand the pain that was pounding through her, but she had to fight it…but with what? With her only hand free, she stretched her hand out to grad a steel pipe broke off from the ring. She couldn’t reach it, but she tried even harder. At last, she reached it and swung it against Lilly’s head, allowing her to break free from the clutches. Rena held the pipe in her hand and used it to do an upper-cut on Lilly’s chin. Lilly fell backwards, but was able to kick Rena’s nose while falling. Black blood poured from Rena’s nose, as well as white blood spilling from Lilly’s head. It seemed they were currently tied, though the battle could change at any moment. Rena was beginning to get tired, but she couldn’t let Lilly win. With determination, Lilly jumped back and pushed her legs off of the security railing to clothesline Rena, though Rena blocked it, grabbing Lilly’s forearm and smashing her against the steel steps that were thrown during the ring’s destruction. Rena glared at some wood, which suddenly burst into flames. Rena grabbed Lilly and smiled, whispering into Lilly’s ear.
Rena: Admit your defeat.
Lilly: Never!
Rena: Good luck, then.

And so Rena threw Lilly into the flames. As Lilly’s body hit, the fire left the floor and latched onto Lilly’s body. She rolled, the flames going off of her in seconds, though she was still burned. Rena laughed and sauntered to Lilly’s body to muse at her pain. Much to Rena’s anger, Lilly shielded herself from the feathers and emerged with wings. Rena growled, and with black eyes, she grew her own set of black silky wings. Both pushed each other up into the air, flying around with attacks. Rena cracked her knuckles and pulled a handle from her cloak. The handle grew into an extended katana as Lilly withdrew her glowing pistol. Shots were fired, but Rena blocked it with her blade. They bounced off the walls of the arena, continually shielding and blocking shots and attacks from both sides. Rena smiled, finding an open booth. She grabbed Lilly’s wings and threw her to the ground. With all her might, she slashed her sword through the booth to allow it to fall on Lilly’s body. She smiled, lowering herself down to the ground as her wings disappeared in ash and smoke, to find Lily still under the rubble. Just then, the rubble moved and shot out at different angles to find Lilly standing up and seemingly unharmed from the last attack. Rena screamed in frustration and ran towards Lilly, but Lilly only laughed at her and grabbed Rena by the neck. Lilly flew into the air and still holding Rena, Threw her onto where the ring once was. Rena was growing weak, but with knowing Lilly, she quickly got up and slashed the wings right off of Lilly.
She screamed as the white blood poured from the open wound where her lovely wings once were. Lilly fisted her fingers and slugged Rena across the cheek with all she had. This sent Rena spiraling into the Alpha-tron, completely demolishing it in one hit. Shard of glass pierced Rena’s skin, a pool of black blood engulfing Rena as she fell to the floor. You could no longer see Rena, hidden beneath the pool of blood, but it seemed certain she was done. Lilly stood smiling at her victory against Rena. It was much more than just a feud between Rena and Lilly, though both competitors knew nothing of it. Lilly turned away from the blood and cheered to herself and the roaring crowd. She looked down and found black blood pooling around her, but she already knew. It was too late to do anything, and as she spun around, Rena’s katana pierced into Lilly and watched her fall to the floor. The lovely pearl fell from Lilly’s body and rolled onto the floor. Lilly’s body fluttered and flopped lifelessly onto the floor. Rena was surprised at what she had done, but nonetheless, Lilly was finished. She laughed maliciously and began making her way up the ramp, glaring at the shards of what once was the Alpha-tron. She looked up into thin air, taking in a big breath with a smile. She had won, finally…or so she thought…
A single white feather floated down and landed into the palm of Rena’s. She crunched the feather in her hand, which then turned black, but before Rena could say anything she felt it. 10 bullets flowed through her and sent her to the floor. With Lilly’s last breath she pulled her strength together and shot Rena as a last resort. When both competitors fell, the crowd grew silent. Both women closed their eyes, and with each last breath the entire arena turned white. It was so white that everyone was temporarily blinded by it. When the white faded away, the crowd found everything to once again be the same as it once was. The ring was set up in traditional fashion, and the alpha-tron had regained itself back. Both competitors, Rena and Lilly, were unconscious of the floor but obviously breathing. Though they ended in a draw, the battle had been complete. Though both women were oblivious to such a battle, there was a historical force guiding each other through this long time battle of Good versus Evil. And even so, in that world beyond anyone’s comprehension…the battle was finally completed.
The crowd may not fully understand what they have just witnessed, but there is a sense of wonder and awe that continues to fill the arena, only gently fading away as the EMTs come to collect both women and take them backstage to be checked out. They are both applauded by the fans, and the response continues as the show itself heads to a short break.
