{ Backstage. Ulf Hednir is standing to the side with some of the crew members, talking amongst themselves; he has a cup of coffee in his hand seemingly to allow it to cool down. Whilst catching up with some of the crew that had become his friends over his previous time in the IWF, he is suddenly struck by Scott Handsome! A harmless accident, as Scott Handsome had not been looking where he was going. }
Scott Handsome: Yo! What the! Move out of the way, you big oaf!
{ Scott Handsome tries to push his way past Ulf. }
Ulf Hednir: Unnskyld?
{ The tone in Ulfâs voice was littered with annoyance. Scott Handsome turned back to Ulf and started poking his finger into his chest. }
Scott Handsome: What did you just say to me?! You were in the way! You need to move!
Ulf Hednir: Hvem enn⌠du er. Du do not have to be so frekk.
Scott Handsome: Iâm sorry? FREKK?! Listen, I donât know who you think you are, but here -- IN AMERICA -- we speak English, and yours is all choppy, so you better wise up!
Ulf Hednir: Jeg do not know hvem du think du er snakker--
Scott Handsome: I donât need new sneakers! But you know what, Iâm fed up with you being so rude! You and me! Next week! Capiche?!
{ Ulf Hednir shifts his look from one of being annoyed to a strange satisfaction. He shrugs his shoulders to Scott Handsome, but the look on his face is clear that he understands what he is saying. }
Ulf Hednir: Jeg er enig. (I agree.)
Scott Handsome: I donât know what that means, but Iâm gonna assume weâre understood! Iâll drag you out there myself if youâre too scared!
{ Scott Handsome nods triumphantly, and Ulf Hednir just shakes his head. He wipes some of the coffee that had spilled on his shirt from the fabric and resumes his conversation with the crew as the camera goes back out to the arena. }

Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!
Terri Morasco: This will be an interesting fight to bear witness to.
Vasco Dias: We have the King of clubs vs Scott Handsome. It will be interesting to see how this all turns out.
{The camera takes a long shot of the entryway as and the arena darkens and purple laser lights are cast upon the entry way. "Forfeit" begins to blare before Terrella makes his entrance alongside Portia thirteen seconds into the song. They take a few steps before stopping to stand side-by-side on the stage, Terrella on the left and Portia on the right. She places her left hand on his right shoulder and runs her right hand down his chest and abdomen as he lowers his glasses down the bridge of his nose before turning for a kiss. Terrella repositions his sunglasses and begins a slow walk toward the ring arm-in-arm with Portia. Fifty seconds into the song they reach the bottom of the stairs where they release arms. Terrella removes his sunglasses as the song picks up in intensity, surveying the arena for a few seconds with an intense stare and menacing scowl before handing his glasses to Portia and charging up the stairs and into the ring.}
Alison Valance: first down to the ring, Stephen Terrella!
Terri Morasco: Stephen is looking angrier than usual.
Vasco Dias: You always think that.
{ It Won't Suck Itself hits to strobe lights and streamers as Scott Handsome comes running out from behind the curtain playing air guitar and whipping his hair around. Scott slides on his knees in epic fashion then pops up to run down to the ring. Scott jumps to his feet and onto the second turnbuckle where he starts thrashing with his hair to the music. }
Alison Valance: Next down to the ring, Scott Handsome!
Terri Morasco: Scott was not quiet leading up to this match
Vasco Dias: Did you expect him to be?

Haseem: It is my honor, my privilege, my sacred duty to introduce to you the MONEY MAKER!!! ALMIR!!! SAYED!!!
{ With that, Almir steps out through the curtain with arms thrown out and his head held back. The crowd boos him like crazy as he looks out with a smile. Together the two men head down the ramp and toward the ring. Haseem runs ahead to hold down the second rope for his companion. Almir enters the ring and drops to his knees in the center, arms out as Haseem demands the crowd respect him! }

Terri Morasco: Evan, in his pre match interview seemed incredibly focused for this match.

Terri Morasco: I just wonder if Almirâs former friends will be able to stay out of this one?
Vasco Dias: For his sake, I hope so.

Terri Morasco: Evan isnât playing games tonight!
Vasco Dias: Heâs not the most technically gifted but Albrecht is effective!
{ Almir backs off and Evan comes in hot with chops to the chest of Almir just lighting up his flesh. Almir falls back into the corner where Evan hits a big european upper cut and then looks to whip Almir out. Sayed instead reverses it and pulls Evan in for a rip cord enzugiri! }

The Fateful Danger vs The Disciples vs LockMore
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: â The following is a triple threat tag team match! The winner becomes the number 2 seed in group A! Introducing first, from the Church of the Crosse, The Disciples with Lucian Crosse!â
Personal Jesus by Lollipop Lust Kill begins to play as red lights begin to flash slowly before lights come up on the stage. As the music swells, dim light begins to come up on the stage, now shrouded with smoke as three silhouettes fade into view. As the guitar kicks in hard, the lights flash onto the stage revealing the members of the The Disciples in their masks and Lucian Crosse in full, gazing into the crowd and taking in their reaction - Lucian as he spreads his arms wide as though welcoming the audience to a religious service. The Disciples walk slowly to the ring as Lucian stands at the top of the stage with his arms spread until the lights of out, leaving the disciples to do his dark work.
Alison Valance: â introducing second, The Fateful Danger!â
Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold comes on and Draco Wolfe, Nick Danger, and Nate Fate come on the entrance ramp wearing Fateful Danger custom ring attire gear. They come down the ramp walking the ramp giving fans high fives. Draco slides inside the ring, while Nick Danger climb the top turnbuckle and get he fans hype then does a front filp and lands on his feet and Nate Fate springboards inside the the ring and they all a fighting pose and wait for their opponents.
Alison Valance: â And finally, the team of James Gilmore and Caleb Lockwood, LockMore!â
The two walk out. Do their own respective thing and slide in.
Blue Shoes takes Lockwoodâs belt and calls for the bell. Nate Fate is standing at ringside. The remaining six men each stare down and choose their person to charge. James chooses a Disciple. Nick gets the other one. Which leaves Draco and Lockwood just staring down each other.
James dismantles his disciple with a chain of suplexes and brawling strikes. Nick uses his explosiveness to knock out his disciple. Turning this match into an impromptu rematch from last week. Draco and Lockwood still havenât moved. Lockwood nods at Gilmore as Lockwood charges Nick and Gilmore runs toward Draco.
Lockwood connects with a super kick to the knee of Nick then a quick ddt as he mounts in full mount and starts beating down Nick. Draco and Gilmore exchange blows. Both using their affinities in striking to counter each other. A hook from Gilmore gets blocked as Draco feints a low kick into a question mark kick which gets blocked as well. The two keep striking. Combos turn into desperation haymakers as they get gassed for going all out too quick.
The Disciples get back home at the behest of Lucianâs yelling. They slide in and jump onto Caleb and Nick. Throwing elbows and clubs. As they push both men outside. The Disciples turn their focus onto the semi gassed Draco and James still intensely fighting. The Disciples nod at each other and charge the two. James notices them first and backs away which causes Draco focus to change and notice them a half of second away. Both Disciples run with spears but James puts one in a cross face as Draco hops over the other and breaks the cross face.
The other Disciple that got hopped over turns around into a bicycle knee from Draco. Then Draco flips him onto his shoulder and prepares him to Face Fate as James realizing this, he chop blocks Draco causing him to drop the Disciple as the Disciple rolls out leaving the two in the alone. James hits his Shellshocker and goes for the pin!
1...
2...
Nick saves the day at the last second hitting James off of Draco. Nick kips up and helps Draco up as Caleb slides in, slightly irritated for letting Nick go.
Caleb runs at Nick and kicks him in the hamstring. Draco, still getting his focus back, sees this and in an attempt to help tries to shoulder drive Nick into Caleb. Flinging like a missile into Calebâs abdomen. The impromptu spear works. Nick gets up limping still frogged from the kick. Gilmore does a sliding chop block out of nowhere to the injured leg. The Disciples get back in.
They double up on the closer Gilmore. Throwing him out as the two go back to Draco, who is leaning on the ropes. Before Draco can react the two start pummeling Draco. Getting him down to one knee. Draco with his guard up absorbs s9me of the blows as Caleb quickly connects with a Beast of War on one of the Disciples. Then capitalizing on the surprise factor hits a Fading Hope on the other Disciple.
Caleb pins Disciple two for the pin

Terri Morasco: Weâve got a big match for you tonight!
Vasco Dias: Chris Diamond is hot after missing out on the Extinction Event!
Terri Morasco: And heâs looking to take it out on Grave Roberts tonight!
Vasco Dias: Grave had some strong words earlier tonight for Chris Diamond.
{ We cut to earlier in the night and Grave Roberts. }
Grave Roberts: Look here old man. Itâs been about two decades since the last post in the AOL message board dedicated to your career was posted. So drop the biggest, baddest man on the block schtick. I see right through it. Youâre an old man thirsting for that final shot at the lime light you never got. Thing is, Maniac, you werenât good enough twenty years ago and youâre not good enough now.
{ We come back to the announcerâs booth. }
Vasco Dias: Strong words by Grave Roberts.
Terri Morasco: Letâs see if he can back them up!
{ The lights in the arena begin to strobe red as the opening chords of Nero Frote begin to play. The stage erupts in pyro as the song really kicks into gear and Chris Diamond comes strutting out with a barbed wire wrapped baseball over his shoulder. Chris smirks at the fans before heading down to the ring in lock step with the song. Chris rolls in under the bottom rope and CHARGES RIGHT AT GRAVE HITTING HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS ROBERTS OVER THE TOP ROPE! }
Terri Morasco: Chris isnât waiting for the bell!
Vasco Dias: He doesnât seem too pleased about what Grave had to say about him!

Terri Morasco: Chris may have knocked out a few of Graveâs teeth!
Vasco Dias: If not broken his nose!
{ Chris goes to grab Grave but Roberts hits a back elbow. Grave shakes it off and then kicks Chris in the gut and looks for a gutwrench suplex but Chris reverses it into a back drop on the padded floor! }
Terri Morasco: Diamond with the back drop reversal!
{ Grave pulls himself up and heads back into the ring. Chris follows him. Grave pops up and hits the ropes. Roberts comes back looking for the big boot but Chris goes under it. Chris now its the ropes and the two men come back it each other looking for shoulder blocks and Chris knocks Roberts right on his back side! }
Vasco Dias: Chris showing off his strength there!
Terri Morasco: He may be in the twilight of his career but heâs still very good!
{ Grave pulls himself up again and catches Chris with a chop across the chest! Grave hits several more chops and then looks for a two handed choke toss but Diamond boxes the ears of Grave Roberts and then hits Grave with a Fist Full of Dollars! }
Vasco Dias: A fist full of dollars knocks Grave down!
Terri Morasco: That may be the move that changes the complexion of this match!
{ Grave tries to get up but Diamond is on him with Hangâem High! Chris goes for the cover but Grave is able to kick out! }
Vasco Dias: A close two count!
Terri Morasco: Iâm surprised to see Grave hanging in here!
Vasco Dias: Maybe Grave isnât quite as bad as Chris thought!?
{ Chris pulls Grave up and Roberts hits a big knee to the gut! Grave then hits the ropes and connects with a running boot to Diamond. Grave then grabs Chris with a two handed choke toss! }
Vasco Dias: Roberts is back in this!
{ Chris pulls himself up and Grave runs in but Chris hits a pump kick and another Fist Full of Dollars! Grave stays standing and this time Chris hoists Grave up onto his shoulders and hits SUDDEN IMPACT!!! Chris hooks both legs of Grave Roberts and gets the ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }

Special occasion
------------------------------------
{Cut to Abigail sat in an old wooden rocking chair on a porch. She is wearing a bright orange variant of her âMore Than My Flesh And Bloodâ T-Shirt, under her patch covered denim jacket. This compliments the red spider lily in her hair and matches perfectly with her orange eyeshadow, and provides a wonderful contrast to her glistening black lipstick and glittery black nail polish. The IWF Womenâs World Championship slung over her left shoulder. The text in the top right corner informs the watching audience that she is live via satellite from The Spencer Compound in the Bayou.
All around her, nature is caught in the twilight of another setting sun. Crickets chirp loudly. Moths fling themselves at the dim flickering lights of a pair of artificial lanterns that hang on the front of her family home, either side of her. She offers a simple smile, feeling most at home in this environment.
She takes a deep breath, before speaking, focused but with quiet reservation.}
Abigail: Iâve learned quite a lot in the short time Iâve been back here in the Imperial Wrestling Federation. Perhaps the single most valuable lesson Iâve learned in my time as the Womenâs World Champion however is just how cynical anâ jaded certain people can be. For some folks, it donât really matter what ya achieve, or what ya go out there anâ prove every night you step in between those ropes to bust your ass, it will never be enough. Youâll never be good enough. They said I wasnât good enough to beat Fiona, I proved them wrong. They said I wasnât good enough to survive Rowan again, I proved them wrong. They said I wasnât good enough to compete with legitimate athletes like Virginia, I proved them wrong. And now they say I wonât make it outta Diamonds Are Forever as still the Womenâs World Champion. That someone like Eternity is a summit too high ta climb, a bridge too far ta cross anâ a river too deep ta wade through...
{Abigail pauses. A shake of her head and a deep sigh.}
Abigail: I guess itâs true what they say. The more things change, the more things stay the same. I spent much of my early career flailing around in ignorance, tryna make believers outta everyone I ever faced. I realise now just how short sighted that ambition was. I realise now that it ainât whether other folks believe in you anâ everythinâ ya stand for thatâs important. Whatâs more important is if you believe in yourself. It donât matter how many folks have faith in you if you donât have faith in yourself...anâ thatâs what last week was all about for me personally. Showinâ the world anâ my next challenger in a way few ever dare ta do just how much I have faith in myself, even if nobody else does or ever will...
{Another pause. Gentle rocking, a chance to recollect and refocus.}
Abigail: Last weekâs Sacrifice marked 127 days as Womenâs World Champion for me. A small but not insignificant personal milestone in my time as the very best womenâs wrestler in the company today. Not only because not even my blood brother Spike could manage that in his first time at the top in the Menâs Division, but also much more significantly, itâs a milestone that for as great and storied as their respective careers are, also eluded two of the most dominant forces there has ever been in the Womenâs Division on their first time at the top of the mountain, Rowan MacDonnough and Eternity. Now, some of my critics will try anâ put yet another asterisk next ta that fact by claiminâ that they faced much tougher competition in a much healthier anâ more competitive division than I have, ta which I say how the fuck is that my problem? Take it up with management. I can only face what they put in front of me. I can only surmount who I am booked against, anâ so far Iâve done that ta the very best of my abilities. It doesnât matter if it was Candy Kane or Rowan MacDonnough, I treated every threat ta my position as just that...a threat, âcause I know better than most what happens when ya get complacent, when ya get too comfortable in life. Somebody always steps up anâ rips it away from you. So I know that in a couple of weeks I am in for the fight of my life at Diamonds Are Forever against the one woman outside Brooklyn Madrox who could be argued as the most synonymous with the Womenâs World Championship. This very belt that rests on my shoulder anâ bears my name today...
{Abigail beckons the camera closer. To really bring the Womenâs World Championship nameplate into sharp focus. A nameplate that clearly reads: ABIGAIL.}
Abigail: But what about tomorrow?
{Crickets are left to answer for a moment before she speaks again. The camera pulling out again to Abigail slowly shaking her head.}
Abigail: Tomorrow ainât guaranteed for nobody, is it, Eternity? Not even for somebody like you. They say Diamonds are forever, I know nothinâ lasts forever...not even The Last Diamondâs dominion as the single greatest challenge anybody ever faces in this business. Ya ainât really had your mettle tested until youâve had a match with Eternity they say? Well, I say bring it on, âcause my fate ainât set in stone. I have already proven that Iâm not fated ta be a Kane anâ in a couple of weeks, I will prove that not even the measurinâ stick of our Division stands alone or unopposed...
{The left lantern light dies. Once a bright pair, now a dim single light, erratic and unbalanced, flickering alone. Abigail takes a deep breath as a small figure in a hooded scarlet cloak steps onto the porch. The figure approaches Abigail slowly from the right and pulls back their hood to reveal a raven haired little girl, face painted white with the crucifix symbol in yellow painted all the way down and across the centre of her face. The dark eyes stare at Abigail for a moment, but she appears more confused than afraid.
The girl hands Abigail a red envelope, marked with a black lipstick kiss on the front.}
Girl: Welcome home, Abby. Happy Valentineâs Day...
{Abigail opens the envelope, takes out a bright yellow hand made birthday card that commemorates a fifth birthday with a grey cartoon elephant that says âI never forget â in a crudely drawn speech bubble. Further curiosity drives Abigail to open the card and find a message pasted together from old yellow newspaper headlines:
MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR
FOREVER ALONE TOGETHER, FOR THE WORLD
AGAINST THE WORLD, LIKE DIAMONDS
SUSPENDED IN THE SKY
TIME IS A GIFT, GIVEN ONE WEEK & TAKEN THE NEXT <3
Abigail turns back to the girl, mouth open, but nobody left to address because sheâs gone, leaving only a gentle fading purple wisp of smoke in her wake. She closes her eyes to the sight, steadies her nerve and takes a deep breath, trying to calm the little voice in her head telling her she was about to make the biggest mistake of her life...}

Abraxes and Locke, an implosion imminent?
------------------------------------
{ A swamp. It was filled with thick trees; vines hung low. The camera was angled near the ground where the majority of what could be seen in front of it was nothing more than water and mush; a foot came crashing down into the mud, sinking to the ankle. The spur attached to the boot jangled momentarily until it, too, sunk into the mud. A familiar voice came over the camera. Locke. }
Locke (Voiceover): People are ahâready thinkinâ that Abraxes and I -- are goinâ to crash anâ burn. There ainât no denyinâ that we had a weak start. A horrible start. But I think -- I think -- that we are jusâ startinâ to work these kinks out.
{ The camera panned up and out until it was directly behind Locke; it was centered on him, and in front of him was the remainder of the swamp. A good fifty yards ahead is where the swamp seemed to come to an abrupt end; the light just disappeared all beyond that was darkness. }
Locke (Voiceover): Ya see, thatâs the problem! People assume! ⌠people assume, too much! Jusâ when we are startinâ to get on the same page, people are afraid. People want to break us. Because they fear us. Because they know that if a God and a Monster come to an agreement. Come to terms. Work together. We will be downright the most formidable team in the cup!
{ Locke walked forward through the swamp, slushing his feet through the mud and water. At the same time, the darkness also begins to charge toward Locke who has now broken into a slow sprint, slowed by the terrain. The darkness warps and changes, swirling clouds of blackness that slowly take the shape of the mad grin of Abraxes}
Abraxes (Voiceover): The weak and the foolish will discount. We have tapped into that which gives power. They will turn their eyes away from what has come. We will rip the scales from their eyes. Shatter their bones. Destroy their minds. You will not Stop us. You can not stop us.
{The fiendish sound of clicking teeth together can be heard as the darkness and Locke rush into each other, the image going black just as they meet.}
Abraxes (Voiceover): It is to late for you. The change has begun and a new era will form.

Gregor Winter vs Nate Fate
------------------------------------
{ No Resolve-Get Me Out starts to play and Nate comes standing on the middle of entrance ramp and starting letting the fans chants his name and he makes his way down and slides inside the and take his jacket off get ready for his match. We transition to a shot at the announcer's desk, where Fiona McFly sits next to Vasco and Terri with notepad in hand. }
Terri Morasco: First main event for Nate Fate and Gregor Winter as December kicks into high gear, and Fiona...I understand you've got something big to plug here!
Fiona McFly: Actually, Terri...it involves you and JJ.
Terri Morasco: Oh, right! I forgot -- haven't been feeling well lately.
{ A short vignette of a Viking war ship arriving to a new land plays on the big screen. Two dozen warriors leap from the ship and run onto land, the sound of their boots on the gravel beach fills the arena. Slowly the sounds of boots becomes John Bonhamâs thunder like drums as Immigrant Song begins to blast from the arena sound system. As the banshee like screams of Robert Plant begins âThe Modern Day Vikingâ is dressed for battle in a khaki colored âModern Day Vikingâ t-shirt, desert camo cargo pants, and combat boots. The IWF World Television Championship is draped over his shoulder. }
Vasco Dias: Lemme guess, you three are starring in a reboot of Brokeback Mountain?!
Terri Morasco: Will you STOP!?!
Fiona McFly: Actually, Terri got to spend a day touring the All Infamous Academy this past Friday, talking to two of our trainees.
Terri Morasco: That's gonna be a fun four-part series -- starting next week!
[DING!]
{ Blue Shoes called for the bell to get this match underway. While it only lasted for about ten minutes, the match itself was back and forth, with both men giving it all they had. Despite a 92-pound disadvantage in the weight category, Nate Fate wowed the crowd early on by surprising former TV Champion Gregor Winter with a pair of standing dropkicks before sending him for the ride. Winter bounces off the ropes and eats a spinning roundhouse kick for post-Thanksgiving dinner! Nate then headsd up to the second buckle and flies, connecting with a diving knee drop that gets him a two-count. }
Terri Morasco: Nate Fate's lookin' pretty good early on. Fi, your take?
Fiona McFly: Nate's a quick guy, very agile and light as a feather. He's still got some time to develop, but when does, and I know he will, watch out -- I see him doing great things here in Imperial.
Vasco Dias: Such a chicken-shit answer...
{ Fiona looks like she wants to punch Vasco's lights out, but for her sake -- and Terri's -- she restrains herself from doing so. In the ring, Nate Fate tries to press his luck and goes for a corkscrew moonsault with seeing his opponent...but this proves to be a big mistake as Gregor catches him and powerslams him to the canvas! }
Vasco Dias: Oww!
Fiona McFly: Lesson for our trainees...don't gamble on a blind move. It's just not worth risking getting damaged.
Terri Morasco: Let's see if Gregor can capitalize on Nate's big mistake.
{ Gregor shows off his power and then some! HE immediately yanks Nate back to his feet before shooting him into the strands; Fate bounces off and winds up eating a big boot for leftovers! Winter follows it up with an elbow drop to his opponent's chest, then a second for good measure. As Nate manages to pull himself back up to his feet, Gregor is right there with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex that scores him a two-count as well. }
Terri Morasco: Gregor's a former TV Champion, Fiona. What's your take on him...?
Fiona McFly: He's a hunk...
Vasco Dias: PFFFT!!!!
Fiona McFly: I'm serious! He's a nice guy through and through. That, and he can hit like a truck -- very reminiscent of Astrid Hall in terms of power. He's the type of guy you'd love to have as a bouncer at a nightclub.
{ Eight minutes into the match, Nate Fate surprises his opponent with his patented Destiny Kick -- a single-leg dropkick -- that scores him a very close count of two, but Gregor kicked out at the last split second. Nate tries to apply his signature double-underhook sit-out facebuster called the Wings of Fate, but he's easily countered by the former TV Champion! Gregor nearly decapitates Nate with his patented LARIAT and scores the three-count! }
Well howdy there pardner.
