”Three’s Company”
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Welcome everyone to Monday Night Sacrifice, episode 100!
Vasco Dias: That’s right, Sacrifice is 100 episode’s old tonight and I for one cannot wait.
Terri Morasco: We have some fantastic action for you tonight as we build to October Revolution this weekend. Last week, new champions were crowned and both of them will be in action tonight in what many are calling an InFamous reunion!
Vasco Dias: Let’s not forget also that two of the biggest names in the business are set to go to war with Jack Gaither and Fiona McFly, plus we have a huge Diamond’s showcase which promises to be a unique affair!
Terri Morasco: Let’s not waste anymore time and get straight into…
{ Suddenly “King of the World” erupts from the PA system and the crowd get to their feet. The COO of IWF Roberto Verona soon emerges from behind a curtain carrying a microphone as the fans cheer, hanging over the barricades as he makes his way down the ramp to the ring. Roberto climbs the steps and get into the ring before he basks in the adoration pouring down upon him whilst he music begins to fade. }Roberto Verona: That’s quite the welcome, I have to say I’d forgotten what it was like not to be booed relentlessly, although I suppose when you declare war on the biggest asshole in his company it warrants praise and for once, that asshole isn’t me!
{ Roberto smiles as he begins to slowly walk around the ring. }Roberto Verona: Allow me to indulge in some self-absorbed boasting for a moment by welcoming you to the hundredth episode of Monday Night Sacrifice…
{ The crowd roars. }Roberto Verona: Tonight you will see some of the finest young women in our profession go toe to toe in the main event of the evening, a true opportunity to witness some fine talents. Not only that, but you will get to see Rob Diamond unite with a younger Kane to wet your nostalgic appetite against Zasshu and Mohamed Al-Thani. If that doesn’t do it for you yet, you’ll get to witness Jack Gaither and Fiona McFly go toe to toe with yours truly and, in honour of those of you who love talent and eye candy, IWF Hall of Famer Jessica Reed!
{ The crowd cheers again. }Roberto Verona: Yet, as much as I want to stand out here and promote the show, putting Joey Leroux well and truly to shame, I would be lying to you if I said that’s why I walked down to this ring. The truth is, I have something I need to get off my chest and sort out one and for all. That is simply the matter of Renee Pleasant and the Imperial Championship.
{ The crowd boos at Pleasant’s name as Roberto nods appreciatively. }Roberto Verona: It’s obvious that when it comes to a virus so strong it takes an equally strong response and for too long now I’ve been content with a band aid. I hoped that somebody, somewhere would use the platform I built to stand up to Pleasant and take him down without needing to re-insert myself back into a playing field that is so heavily against me. Yet it is clear to me now that I have been lethargic to seeing the reality that I need to stop holding myself back out of the naïve charity I have been offering everyone and deal with this issue for myself.
{ The crowd pops. }Roberto Verona: That’s why, tonight, I am going to make it official. Next week, me and Pleasant will go one on one for the Imperial Championship!
{ The crowd roars. }Roberto Verona: Yet, I still feel as though that is not enough, so why don’t I sweeten the pot even further, to fully ensure that there will be no excuses. Our match won’t just be a championship match, it’ll be a Street Fight. That means no holds barred, no option for anybody to cheat their way to a victory. At October Revolution, I’m not just going to take Renee Pleasant’s title, I am going to take his career and send him packing back to whatever God forsaken hell hole he crawled from.
{ The crowd cheers again as Verona clutches the microphone in a vice like grip when suddenly the PA system erupts and Alex Jones emerges from the technical area like a man on a mission. He marches down the ramp, clutching a microphone in his own hand as he signals for his music to be cut. He pauses for a moment as he Roberto looks down the ramp. }Roberto Verona: I’m sorry, can I help you with something, Alex?
Alex Jones: Cut the condescending crap, Verona. I’m not out here to play games.
{ Roberto stands back and holds his arm out. }Roberto Verona: Oh then please, indulge me, just what the fuck are you doing out here?
Alex Jones: I’m here to ask why you’re getting a shot at that bastard, Pleasant? I realise I made an error not seeing just how large a threat he is, even if you’re still a giant jack ass. That bastard has been slicing through Body Count’s ranks for weeks now and if anybody should have the opportunity to take him down, it’s me.
Roberto Verona: That’s cute, Alex, but let’s not try and compare your cannon fodder taking the fall for you to the damage he’s done to this entire company’s reputation. You think you deserve a shot at Pleasant? Fine. But if you believe I’m going to simply step by and let you take a shot at him in the vain hope you might just pull it off you’ve got another thing coming.
Alex Jones: I don’t care how you do it, Verona, just make it happen. I’ll fight you both for all I care, all I want is a chance to reclaim that belt from that monster and save this roster from the predator that has been feeding on it for far too long.
{ Verona smiles. }Roberto Verona: You know, Alex, for once I may just agree with you. At this point, quite frankly, I couldn’t care any less who is standing between me and that bastard. If you want to toss yourself in the firing line, then fine. Let’s make this a triple threat. I’m sure people will happily pay to watch me kick your ass and Pleasant’s at the same time.
Alex Jones: That’s all I wanted to hear. I’ll see you on Sunday, Verona, where I will put you back in your box and take down Pleasant, once and for all!
{ Alex tosses the microphone down and begins to shout some rather unpleasant remarks in Verona’s direction before we can hear the sound of clapping. Alex and Roberto look up the ramp to see the Imperial Champion clapping his hands, microphone in hand, as he and Amber Richard walk onto the stage. He lifts the mic to his lips as the audience rains down boos on him which are like water off a duck’s back. }Renee Pleasant: It's real cute an' all - yah two out 'ere tossin' each otha off ova whose gonna 'stop' me but yah both seem tah be forgettin' sumthin' ......
{Renee pauses and laughs, turning to murmur something to a smirking Amber, before bringing the mic back up to his lips.}Renee Pleasant: Ah'm every-fuckin'-thing yah both accuse me of an' more, so insteada talkin' like tha is sum kinda done deal... make sum use of yah time an' measure each otha for Body bags.... Yah gone need 'em.

Cover 1..2..Kick out by Hooligan.}Vasco Dias: Impressive strength by Brody!
Terri Morasco: But the fans aren't keen on him!
{Brody carries on the assault with vicious hammer shots to the head. He picks him up and tries to get the Scotsman to sarcastically trade blows. Tim tries to battle his way with a cross face chicken wing, but Hooligan counters with a few headbutts that cuts his own head open before going for a massive Polish hammer, but Brody counters with the discus clothesline!

”That Uncomfortable Feeling”
----------------------------------------------------------
{We cut backstage to a locker room door, seen from the outside. A hand reaches forward and swings the door open, as the door opens a high pitched shriek echoes in the empty hallway...
Stood in the doorway balanced on one foot,up on her tiptoes is a contortionist, her slender, flexible body is a near perfect line, one leg bent up and behind her head her foot curled down towards her face, which is painted in the old black and white Maison clown style...
As the camera pans out to reveal a trembling Eliza the other side of the doorway, the contortionist tilts her head to the side with a wide smile and waves at her... Eliza slams the door closed and starts backing down the hallway still shaking...}Eliza Valentine: Nope... Fucking Nope....

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Nighthawk vs Khaos vs Austin James Mercer
----------------------------------------------------------
{As the music starts the lights slowly dim and a single spotlight shines on the stage with a crimson red chaos symbol in the center of it. After a few seconds Khaos appears in the spotlight with his head tilted down as the soft drum beats echos. Khaos slowly lifts his head as the music seems to pause. As the guitar rifts sound and the drums blast giant crimson colored flames soar from the stage around his body in the form of the Khaos symbol as "You Will Know My Name" by Arch Enemy plays through out the arena all while the lights turn back on with a crimson hue to them. Making his way down to the ring his face develops a sort of sinister smile. Ascending the steps he makes his way to the middle of the ring apron. Entering the ring through the top and middle rope Khaos glares out into the crowd soaking up the emotion before going to a corner waiting.}Vasco Dias: This guy Khaos has been causing quite a stir since his return....
Terri Morasco: Yeah...by not shutting up....
{As his opponent stands in a neutral corner the lights in the arena slowly click off, one by one, as the sold-out crowd rises to its feet in anticipation of what is to come. And as the opening strains of "Holding Out For A Hero (The Autumn Wind Intro)" by Emery boom out over the sound system Nighthawk walks out through the curtain and stands at the top of the ramp, hands on his hips as he looks all around at the sold-out crowd with the barest hint of a smile on his face before raising both hands above his head as the ring suddenly is flooded with blue light. Walking down the ring, shaking hands with the fans in the first 2 rows of the building and making a special effort to shake the hands and give out hugs to the kids in the front row as behind him blue-and-white Roman columns of fireworks go off, the "Wrestling Machine" finally gets to the ring and stands on the top turnbuckle while raising his left hand above his head as the crowd chants "Best in the World." }Terri Morasco: Win or lose Nighthawk always gives it his all out there...
Vasco Dias: Yes he does.....but he losses alot more than wins...
Terri Morasco: Couldn't just compliment him could you?..you negative bastard...
{"The Next generation" by Renegade five hits as Austin James Mercer steps out. A hood from his vest over his head. Austin flips it back and smiles as he struts down to the ring. He looks into the camera and mugs with arrogance before leaping onto the ring apron in one bound before also leaping over the top rope throwing his arms out to the side.}Allison Valance: Now standing in the ring standing five foot ten inches tall, weighing in at two hundred and five pounds, he hails from Las Vegas Nevada...Austin James Mercer!
Vasco Dias: Austin Mercer has been impressive, sure he lost one or two but he has also won and looked awesome doing it...
Terri Morasco: I like the kid...don't like his dad...but I like him....
{The bell rings and Austin and Khaos attack Nighthawk right away, they tackle him into the corner and start to stomp him down. The crowd boo's as they pull Nighthawk up and hit a double suplex. Khaos attacks Austin right away believing Nighthawk to be incapacitated. Khaos unleashes with hard rights and lefts stumbling Austin to the ropes, he whips Austin and ducks down for a back body drop, Austin leaps up onto Khaos' back and then jumps up before hitting a hurricanrana on the way down.
Austin runs at Khaos and clotheslines him over the top rope to the outside, Austin turns around to find Nighthawk running at him, he spins around Austins body in a tiltawhirl before hitting an armdrag. They both vet to their feet and Austin hits an armdrag on Nighthawk before nighthawk and Austin go for dropkicks before having a stand off. The crowd applaudes their efforts and Nighthawk nods in appreciation of the challenge.}Vasco Dias: Nighthawk and Austin look very close on the ground....
Terri Morasco: Nighthawk is one of the greatest technical wrestlers on the earth but Austin is a prodigy....
{Khaos reaches in and grabs Nighthawk by the leg pulling him out of the ring, he throws Nighthawk face first into the steel steps before taunting him, Austin sprints at the ropes and throws himself over the top rope with the fosbury flop onto Khoas, Austin holds his stomach hurting himself on the move, all three men are down as Nighthawk holds his face, Khaos holds his head and shoulder and Austin with his stomach. Austin pulls himself up and goes after Khaos who suckers him in vefore grabbing Austin by the front of his tights pulling him into the corner post face first.}Terri Morasco: Wow Austins face just hit that post
Vasco Dias: This guy Khoas is pretty smart he uses the ring as a weapon which is perfectly legal...
{Khaos throws Nighthawk into the ring and slides in, he walks around him and laughs as Nighthawk shakes the cobwebs out, he hits the ropes and goes for a shining wizard on Nighthawk, Nighthawk however ducks the knee and as Khaos lands on his stomach Nighthawk ties up Khaos legs with his and grabs his arms before pulling Khoas back into a surfboard!. Khoas shakes his head as the referee asks him is he wants to quit. Nighthawk releases the hold and rolls to his feet Khoas too vets back to his feet holding his back, Nighthawk hits a step up enzuguri, before he can capitalize Austin Mercer comes flying in with a springboard superman punch!}Terri Morasco: Austin Mercer out of nowhere!
Vasco Dias: A beautiful springboard superman punch catching Nighthawk off guard...

Eliza Valentine: You wish...
{She bumps her hip into his with a playful laugh and the two fall into step heading off down the hall...}Eliza Valentine: Nice work tonight...
{Austin nods at her, finishing off the water bottle and crushing it in his hand absent mindedly as the two chatter between themselves, as they turn the corner Eliza suddenly jumps, grabbing Austin by the shoulder, she swings him in front of her, shaking her head and burying her face in his back...}Eliza Valentine: No... No No No.... Noooo....
{Stood in the middle of the hallway is an elaborately dressed man with a beard all the way down to his stomach, his head tilted all the way back, three gilted gold sword handles protrude from his mouth as he spins a fourth sword in his hand, before rising it up to slide down his throat....

”Hands Off”
----------------------------------------------------------
{ We cut backstage to where we see Zasshu pacing back and forth in front of the IWF interview area, a very timid Willy Carter stands to his right with a microphone in hand. }Willy Carter: Willy Carter here with Zasshu. Word is coming down from on high that there is a “Hands Off” policy concerning you and Mohammed Al-Thani concerning your tag team match tonight, I was hoping to get your thoughts?
{ Zasshu stops suddenly and stares daggers into Willy Carter before looking toward the camera. }Zasshu: I do not know is this is another on of Thani’s games or if IWF management is taking the threats of one of their performers seriously all of a sudden but if you think I fear a pencil pusher in a suit behind a desk then you are sorely mistaken.
Willy Carter: Will you be going against company orders then and attacking Mohammed Al-Thani before, during or after your match tonight?
{ Zasshu takes a deep breath and looks at Willy. }Zasshu: I will do what is necessary.
{ Without another word Zasshu brushes past Willy and heads toward the stage. } ----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Rob Diamond & Warren Kane vs Mohamed Al-Thani & Zasshu
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Well those were some cold words from Zasshu backstage. You have to wonder if he’s going to be able to get along with Mohammed Al-Thani tonight.
Terri Morasco: I would say that is incredibly unlikely. I’m not sure how many of our fans watched his promo package on the IWF website but he had some very heated words for Thani.
Vasco Dias: I’m not surprised management took notice, he basically threatened to kill him.
Terri Morasco: Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
{ The arena lights dim to a low hue as a golden spot light shines on the stage, the opening to Trivium's "Villainy Thrives" begins to play as the golden light strobes to the piano. Once the song kicks into gear Zasshu comes exploding out from the stage with a burst of pyro and to a pop from the crowd. He lands in a crouched position and looks all around before standing up and throws his arms out. Zasshu begins to march to the ring with his eyes locked squarely on the ring before jumping up onto the apron and looking out over the crowd. He pulls himself up then catapults himself into the ring with a front flip and lands on one knee, his arms out and pyro bursting from the stage. }Vasco Dias: It’s hard to tell what the masked man is thinking but I would imagine he’s ready for blood.
Terri Morasco: This should be an interesting match.
{ The Qatari National Anthem begins to play as Divine steps out onto the stage. }Divine: If you would all stand and praise the PEARL GLADIATOR!!!! MOHAMMED AL-THANI!!!!!
{ The crowd goes into deafening boos as Mohammed Al-Thani steps through the curtain and onto the stage. Divine moves to the side as Thani drops to his knees and praises Allah. He stands up and takes Divine in his arm and the two head down the ramp as he completely ignores the crowd. Divine walks up the steps and sits on the second rope as Thani follows and steps into the ring, he spins around with his arms out before dropping to his knees again and praising Allah. }Vasco Dias: The crowd is not happy to see him tonight, I really wish they’d show him the respect he deserves.
Terri Morasco: You’ve got to be joking? The only thing he deserves is a swift kick to the balls courtesy of Rob Diamond!
Vasco Dias: Well you may get what you’re asking for as IWF’s newest champions team up tonight to take on Mohammed Al-Thani and Zasshu.
{ The lights go out as the crowd chanting fills the arena. }"Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
Da da da de da da da
LET'S GO!"
{ As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash. Warren Kane comes to the front of the stage and brings his arms up infront of his chest before extending them outwards and upwards creating a reaction from the crowd. }"It's not easy making a name for yourself, Where do you draw the line?
I never thought I'd be in this far.
Let's have some fun and never change that for anyone, try not to miss me when I'm gone
Woooh, wooooh"
I sold my soul to the open road!"
{ He then heads towards the ring, clicking his neck, wrists and elbows to prepare for his match before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms once more. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring. }Terri Morasco: Warren Kane is the only two time Invictus Champion in company history and he looks happy to be here tonight.
Vasco Dias: We’ll see how happy he is once Thani tears him apart one ligament at a time.
Terri Morasco: You’re dreaming.
Are you ready??
{ Jekyll and Hyde by FFDP hits the pa as the lights start to strobe pink. Rob Diamond slowly struts out onto the ramp as the crowd pops huge for him, he smiles and looks around the arena and slowly raises his arms over his head. Just as Jekyll and Hyde kicks into high gear he brings his arms down in an epic crotch chop as pink pyro explodes in an X behind him. He bgins his march down the ramp slapping hands with fans holding signs for him and wearing his awesome t-shirts. He points here and there making certain women feel special and wet in their pants as he gets to the ring and rolls in under the bottom rope. }Allison Valance: Introducing to the ring at this time, weighing in at two hundred and four pounds, he is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME! The King of Diamonds, The Xtreme American Dream, The Bloody Cinderella, The one and only, the Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the end, The baddest mama jama in the multiverse, You can't believe there's none better, Better than Butter, The Mad Titan, The Dark Lord of the Sith... THE INFAMOUS ROB DIAMOND!!!!!
{ Rob stands in the middle of the ring and asks the crowd for silence, he takes a mic as the crowd dies down and so does his music... }Rob Diamond: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and single ladies of ALL AGES!!!!!..... LETS GET READY TO SUCK IT!!!!!!!
{ He tosses the mic and hits one final crotch chop as the crowd goes nuts. }Vasco Dias: I don’t see what there is to like about this guy?
Terri Morasco: Aside from being the Greatest of all Time and the new Man of Steel Champion, how about his amazing beard and looks to die for?
Vasco Dias: Now you’re the one who’s dreaming.
{ It looks like Warren is going to start things off as Zasshu and Thani are both still standing on the outside of the ring. Thani is offering the spot to Zasshue but Zasshu isn’t budging, he’s just starring daggers into Thani. }Vasco Dias: Things are already off to a bad start for Thani and Zasshu.
Terri Morasco: Anyone with a brain had to know it was going to go this way.
{ Thani finally sighs and climbs the apron and steps into the ring but Zasshu doesn’t move. }Vasco Dias: Mohammed Al-Thani is going to be the bigger man here tonight and start things off for his team.
Terri Morasco: Bigger man? He’s just goading Zasshu into a fight.
{ The referee calls for the bell and the two technical wizards lock it up right in the center of the ring but Warren is quick to move behind Thani and takes his arm with him for a rear wrist lock take down. Thani tries to turn and get right to his feet but Warren is quick with a standing drop kick that sends Thani stumbling into the corner. Warren takes off after him and looks for a splash but Thani moves and Warren eats the turnbuckle. Thani is right there to capitalize with a release German suplex and dumps Warren right on his head. }Vasco Dias: Thani is the veteran between these two and he’s showing Warren he still has a few things to learn.
Terri Morasco: Warren is a legacy wrestler, the son of Kane, Thani has nothing to teach him.
{ Warren is groggy as he stands up and Thani is right there with three hard knife edge chops. Mohammed throws Warren into the ropes, Warren bounces off and Thani swings for the fences but Warren gets under him and grabs him for an inverted neck breaker! Both men are pretty quick to their feet but Warren hits a stiff toe kick and grabs Thani for a belly to belly suplex but Thani bashes him in the face with a head butt. Thani drops down to a knee and chops Warren right in the throat! }Vasco Dias: Nice move by Thani!
Terri Morasco: He chopped him in the throat!
{ Thani grabs Warren and throws him hard into the corner and follows him right up with a massive running European upper cut! Thani connects with three more vicious European upper cuts in the corner before pulling Warren out for pump handle back breaker over his knee! Thani pushes him onto the mat then starts to drive his elbow into the cheek of Warren as Rob tries to enter the ring but the referee forces him back. }Terri Morasco: Thani is just trying to insult Warren right now.
Vasco Dias: He’s the better wrestler, it’s that simple, he wants Warren to learn his place.
{ Thani pulls Warren up and hits him with another European upper cut that sends Warren stumbling into the corner. Thani winds up then takes off after Warren but Warren ducks the corner clothes line and as Thani spins around he grabs him for an Exploder Suplex into the corner! }Terri Morasco: A perfectly executed Exploder Suplex!
Vasco Dias: He got lucky.
{ Warren pulls Thani up to his feet and whips him across the ring into the corner with Rob Diamond where he catches an elbow to the back of the head. Warren takes off out of the corner and connects with the OLE KICK!!!! Warren tags in Rob and the two of them grab Thani for a double vertical suplex out of the corner! }Vasco Dias: Oh come on ref!
Terri Morasco: Seriously? One double team and your ranting?
Vasco Dias: It’s total crap!
{ Rob picks Thani up and whips him into the corner where Zasshu should be standing but the masked man is still on the floor watching. }Vasco Dias: Look at that masked punk!
Terri Morasco: Thani brought this on himself!
{ Rob sets Thani up on the ropes, backs up and looks for Shattered Dreams but Thani manages to dip out onto the corner and Rob kicks nothing but turnbuckle. Thani fires a stiff elbow into Rob’s face from the apron, Diamond staggers but turns and fires back with a Fist Full of Democracy that sends Thani falling off the apron and into Zasshu! Rob takes the opening to rung across the ring, bounces off the ropes and comes back at full steam, flies through the ropes and hits both men with the BALD EAGLE DIVE!!!! }Terri Morasco: Bald Eagle Dive!!!!
Vasco Dias: If Thani had a real partner this match would be over by now.
Terri Morasco: You’re seriously delusional.
{ Rob is up to his feet and grabs Thani and rolls him back into the ring. Rob quickly climbs up the ropes and looks for the 50 star frog splash but Thani rolls across the ring and back out the other side. }Terri Morasco: Now he’s running!
Vasco Dias: He’s taking a breather.
{ Thani walks around the ring and heads for the ramp, Zasshu is back up to his feet and confronts Thani on the ramp, their face to face, nose to nose. }Terri Morasco: This is about to boil over.
Vasco Dias: He better not lay a hand on the Pearl Gladiator!
{ Rob is in the ring and looks to go out after Thani but the referee holds him back which is enough of a distraction for Divine to sneak up behind Zasshu and kick him right between the legs! }Terri Morasco: Come on!
Vasco Dias: What? What happened!?
{ Thani takes Zasshu by the head and throws him onto the apron, he climbs up and back into the ring and then tags Zasshu as he holds himself. }Vasco Dias: Finally!
{ Thani then quickly jumps back out of the ring and pushes Zasshu in as he tries to recover. Rob just shrugs as he watches this. }Vasco Dias: Good, he got what he deserved.
Terri Morasco: He didn’t deserve that! Thani did!
Vasco Dias: Why are you always so biased?
Terri Morasco: I could slap you right now.
{ Zasshu is slow to his feet and turns right into a SPEAR!!!! From Rob Diamond. Rob pulls him up and throws him hard across the ring and into the corner. Diamond runs in with a clothes line then quickly tags in Warren. }Vasco Dias: See! This is what happens when you mess with Thani!
Terri Morasco: I really can’t believe you right now.
{ Rob and Warren grab Zasshu for a two man Diamond Cutter/Thunderstruck!!! }Terri Morasco: OH MY GOD!!!!
{ Warren looks to make a cover and hooks the leg. Thani just starts walking up the ramp as the referee counts. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }Terri Morasco: Thani left him for dead!
Vasco Dias: Good!
Terri Morasco: He’s going to pay for that.
{ Warren and Rob hit a double crotch chop as Zasshu rolls out of the ring and stares at Thani who is laughing on the ramp.}----------------------------------------------------------

“Challenge Accepted”
----------------------------------------------------------
{“Cult of Love” hits the sound system as Alexis Caffrey skips down to the ring, the Diamonds Title around her waist.}Terri Morasco: She’s back.
Vasco Dias: And she’s making a beeline for the ring. I wonder if anyone’s going to answer her challenge from a couple of weeks ago.
{Alexis gets in the ring and is handed a microphone.}Alexis Caffrey: So two weeks ago, I issued a challenge to anyone who wanted to take me on for this and I haven’t heard a single thing about it. So…
{She sits on the middle rope, one arm hooking the top to keep her balance as she stares at the entrance way…}Alexis Caffrey: Who’s it going to be?
{We wait a moment before “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 plays as Alexis starts laughing in the ring while Mercedes Vargas heads out to the stage, staring down at the ring.}Mercedes Vargas: Sure Alexis, laugh it up. You probably think of me as nothing but a loser. Well, I think of you as a worthless champion. I mean, before Eternity beat you for that title, what the hell did you do with it that made it so worthwhile?
{Alexis doesn’t look thrilled as she stands from the ropes and walks across the ring, a glare in her eye.}Alexis Caffrey: About as much as you with that worthless Ruby Title Reign. The difference is, you had challengers that wanted to step up…like me, but you were too much of a coward to put that belt on the line. Meanwhile…nobody stepped up when I had this last time until Eternity.
{Mercedes smiles.}Mercedes Vargas: Cute sweetie. Well I’m stepping up this time. I ACCEPT YOUR OPEN CHALLENGE!
{The crowd pops a bit but Alexis kills it all with her laughter in the ring.}Alexis Caffrey: Yo…yo…you!? You want a shot at this?
{She holds the title in the air as Mercedes nods.}Alexis Caffrey: Even though you’ve done nothing to EARN your shot…I feel charitable. You’re on. You and me at October Revolution…where you’ll lose…again.
{“Cult of Love” hits as Alexis grins up at Mercedes who has a confident look on her face with a smirk and a nod as she’s got her shot at the Diamonds Title at October Revolution.}----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Johnny Johnson vs DaMarius Thomas
----------------------------------------------------------
{"Pretty fly for a white guy" hits and Johnny Johnson pops out to a really good reaction. He starts making his way down to the ring but Demarius Thomas comes from behind with a hard clothesline sending him down the entranceway!}Vasco Dias: Whoa!..Thomas surprising Johnson!
Terri Morasco: Oh god this beast didn't want to wait....
{Thomas rolls Johnson into the ring and follows he grabs Johnson around the midsection and hits a belly to belly overhead throwing the much smaller, lighter man across the ring, Thomas pops right back up and stays on the offensive hitting another suplex and another and then finally a german release throwing Johnson from one corner all the way to the other. Thomas let's out a roar and calls for Johnson to get up}Terri Morasco: Demarius Thomas is a foot taller than Johnny Johnson and outweighs him by over a hundred pounds....this is insane..
Vasco Dias: It is and Thomas is an athletic freak...
{Demarius runs in at Johnson who is standing in the corner. Johnson leans back and puts both boots to Demarius' face. He stumbles back and Johnson gets onto the middle rope before leaping off with a clothesline, it still doesn't take Demarius down. He jumps up and attacks Thomas with right hands, the crowd pops as he unleashes all his fury on the much bigger man.}Vasco Dias: Ha Johnny Johnson is trying hard...
Terri Morasco: How can you not love an underdog?
{Johnson hits the ropes but vets flattened by a clothesline from hell!, Thomas then pulls him up and hits the black-5 and pins 1....2.....3}----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
“Got a Light?”
----------------------------------------------------------
{The door to the car park swings open... Slowly, a long shaky breath can be heard as just the very top of Eliza's head peeks around the corner, she looks one way and then the other, spotting only one other normally dressed woman a few steps away... The rest of Eliza's body appears and she steps through the door, allowing it to swing shut with a slam behind her.
Eliza takes a few steps forward, tapping her back pocket and pulling out a pack of smokes, she wriggles one free of it's brothers and reaches back into her pocket again, before sighing to herself.}Eliza Valentine: Shit... Hey uh - Excuse me...
{She starts to approach the woman who still has her back to her, the cigarette dancing unlit in her nervous fingers as she reaches out to the woman....}Eliza Valentine: Sorry to bother you but do you have a li-
{Eliza's sentence cuts short as she stands, mouth agape only a small whimper escaping her; the woman turns to look at Eliza, placing a flaming baton in her mouth and extinguishing it with her tongue... The sound of the flame going out is almost a sizzle before the woman shrugs with a smile...}Fire-eater: Sorry... All Out....
{Eliza appears stuck to the spot, her mouth moves but still all she manages is a few feeble whimpers, her hand shaking so violently she drops the cigarette to the ground... The woman reaches behind her with a grin....}Fire-eater: Seems like I have one more after all....
{Just as the woman brings a match from her pocket, striking it up, Eliza finally finds herself again and turns - running faster than she ever believed her legs could carry her - leaving her cigarettes, dropping them as she runs... She glances back just to see the woman spitting the fire less than a foot from her....
As Eliza reaches the door, she falls through it, slamming it shut behind her... She leans against it and rakes her hands through her hair as tears, a mix of fear and relief wash down her face and she shakes her head, glancing up and down the hall desperately, fearing any more surprises.} ----------------------------------------------------------
HANDICAP MATCH
Renee Pleasant vs Kyle Mason, Andrew Jacobsen, and Aaron Owens
----------------------------------------------------------
{Body count anthem hits as Kyle Mason, Andrew Jacobsen and Aaron Owens make their way out in Body Count shirts. They walk down to the ring and slide in one by one before standing in the corner talking.}Vasco Dias: Alex Jones isn't out here....
Terri Morasco: He took issue with the gang beat down last week..
Vasco Dias: He could have an advantage with these guys watching his back...
Terri Morasco: That isn't what the group is about....
{The opening bar of I smell a massacre hits the speakers as red lights swirl around the crowd, before settling on Reñee Pleasant who stands in the middle of the stage, Amber Richards by his side, smirking at the crowd as a chorus of cheers rise up.
Reñee shrugs and walks down the ramp with purpose, he jumps up onto the apron and holds down the middle rope for amber before he enters the ring through the top and middle ropes. He approaches the referee for a moment and towers over him with a laugh, before walking away, shaking his head still laughing as the music fades out.}Terri Morasco: Renee doesn't look concerned by this...
Vasco Dias: Why should he?...he's a six foot seven wrecking ball and is the Imperial champion...
Terri Morasco: And Kyle Mason is tough and dangerous, Andrew Jacoben is a former Man of steel champion and technically sound and Aaron Owens is a former Invictus champion and one of the great young prospects in this business....
Vasco Dias: And Renee Pleasant gives no !@&*s
{The bell rings and Aaron, Kyle and Andrew talk about who's going in first. Kyle steps forward and Aaron and Andrew get on the apron. Mason moves around Renee, Renee smiles and tells him to bring it on, they go to lock up but Kyle ducks under and starts laying in stiff kicks to Renee's thigh to try and chop the big man down, Renee steps sideways with each shot, then Kyle steps forward and slams in a hard knife edge across Renee's huge chest. Kyle goes for another kick, Renee catches his leg and picks Kyle up before slamming him down, Kyle holds his back and rolls to the corner tagging in Jacobsen}Vasco Dias: Mason used that toughness and skill but Renee is a different beast....
Terri Morasco: But he is human..he can be beat....
{Andrew vets in the ring and sizes up Renee, he shoots in too fast for Renee to stop and picks a leg taking Renee down, he rolls over Renee and locks in a side headlock, Renee pushes to one knee and Jacobsen keeps it locked in, Renee shoves Jacobsen off into the ropes, Jacobsen leaves his feet and leaps in the air hitting a flying forearm. Jacobsen hits the ropes again and hits a dropkick, nothing taking Renee down, Jacobsen goes for his superkick. Renee catches his foot and throws him backwards into the corner where Aaron owens tags himself in.}Vasco Dias: Jacobsen went to kick Renee's teeth down his throat....but failed...
Terri Morasco: And Aaron Owens tagved himself in..he wants some of Renee...
{Owens sprints at Renee who simply hammers in a hard right hand, Jacobsen and Mason both shake their heads as Renee pulls Owens up the throws him in the corner before unleashing hard right hands. He grabs Aaron by the hair and whips him across the ring and out to the floor. Renee continues to mercilessly beat Aaron before grabbing a steel chair, Kyle and Andrew jump off the apron and go to help Aaron}Terri Morasco: Hey this isn't a hardcore match!
Vasco Dias: I don't think Renee cares...
{Jacobsen gets their first but gets hit in the ribs by the chair, then Kyle also gets hit with the chair with an overhead shot. The referee calls for the bell as Renee throws Aaron and the chair into the ring.}Vasco Dias: Well Body count has won by disqualification......
Terri Morasco: But what is Renee doing?...
{Renee opens the chair and looks down at Owens, he grabs Aaron by the back of the head and neck like hes going to hit the RAV on the chair like he did a few weeks ago, the crowd pops as Alex Jones sprints to the ring and slides in attacking Renee before he can do any more damage.}Vasco Dias: I thought Alex Jones mr high and mighty didn't like gang warfare....
Terri Morasco: This isn't gang warfare this is Alex trying to protect a friend....
{Alex and Renee brawl in the ring, officials and security flood the ring stopping Kyle and Andrew and Aaron from getting to Renee as they also pull Alex away separating them all}Terri Morasco: This is just chaos!
Vasco Dias: We'll be right back as we vet this sorted out!
----------------------------------------------------------
MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH
Roberto Verona & Jessica Reed vs Fiona McFly & Jack Gaither
----------------------------------------------------------
{ The lights in the arena all go out at "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to blare out of the PA system. Spotlights begin to scan the crowd before fixating on a figure at the top of the stage which is revealed to be Roberto Verona, his head bowed towards the floor. As cheers being to resonate around the arena Verona raises his head and he begins a slow methodical march down the ramp, the spotlight following him as golden pyro rains down from above on the stage. Verona stares with disgust at the crowd who cheer him as he approaches the ring, but he doesn't react to them. As he reaches the steps he slowly ascends them before walking towards the middle of the ring apron, turning around to look into the crowd one last time before looking up and closing his eyes as he stretches his arms out wide and basks in the adulation. After indulging himself Verona climbs into the ring, psyching himself up as he awaits the beginning of the match. }Vasco Dias: Here comes the Big Boss!
Terri Morasco: You're NOT Carl Douglas, babe...
{ The lights in the arena go out as "Die Young" by Ke$ha hits the PA system and the crowd go nuts. Strobe lighting begins to flash in various colours around the arena as Jessica Reed emerges from behind the curtain to a standing ovation. She smile and waves to the fans before steadying herself for a gentle sprint to the ring, slapping the hands of fans as she goes much to their delight. Reaching the ring steps she climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle and continues to wave the crowd, pumping them up even more before hopping down into the ring. }Terri Morasco: I always LOVED this gal!
Vasco Dias: Yeah...in your dreams.
Terri Morasco: What was that again?!
{"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys kicks into high gear as Fiona McFly marches out on stage, takes a bow, and heads down to the ring--giving lucky fans quick pecks on the cheek along the way. Following close behind is Jack Gaither, who marches down to the ring lugging a giant red wagon by its handle. The wagon, with its classic “RADIO FLYER” label on both sides, carries two tables.}Terri Morasco: Here comes Fiona--it's been good seeing her back in Imperial!
Vasco Dias: Yeah but that's not the big deal of the day--look at what Jack's bringin'!
{With Fiona in the ring, Jack pulls out one table at a time and sets it up, followed by the second so that they're standing next to each other. We see a slight shimmer from the lights upon closer inspection—for the tables are made not of wood, but of glass!}Terri Morasco: Uh-oh!!
Vasco Dias: And someone could be carved into shreds!!
{As Jessica and Fiona prep themselves to get things started—after all, ladies first—the referee can only shake his head solemnly as he calls for the bell.}~DING~
{The two ladies lock up, with Jess getting the advantage early on. Sending Fiona for the ride, the Hall of Famer follows through with a unique, rather slick-looking leaping knee that connects flush with the Belfast native's temples! The still-green McFly staggers around for a moment or two, only to be sent crashing to the deck via a dragon screw; Fiona bounces back up, only to munch on a second slick knee to the schnozz—eventually winding up on the business end of her facebuster DDT that's called the Duck Face! The mixed crowd cheers for both ladies—despite Reed's stature—as Jess goes for the cover...}1...!
2...!!
NOPE!!!
{Fifi kicks out, causing Jess to slightly grin as she climbs up to the top rope! She preens to the cheering crowd as McFly manages to pull herself back up to her feet!}Terri Morasco: Perhaps it's time for some Peanut Butter and Jelly!
Vasco Dias: Bleccch...
{Yet as Jess launches herself off the top for her modified shooting star press, Fiona moves out of the way—and Jess hits nothing but canvas! Now it's Fiona who's got the advantage, utilizing her simplistic—but effective—mixed martial arts program to full effect. McFly launches into a series of hard right and left open-hand strikes before sending her opponent for the ride, Jess bounds off the opes and into a deep armdrag takedown—followed by a second and then a third, transitioning the latter into a simple armbar. But Reed tries to reverse the hold, only to wind up on the wrong end of a waistlock takeodwn, followed by a second, and then a third—transitioning the third maneuver into a sleek pin!}1...!
2...!!
KICKOUT!!!
{Fiona is tossed to the side as Jess makes the tag! Roberto Verona comes into the picture and causes McFly to wisely tag herself out as well! Now Jack Gaither enters the fray, and the two men in the match immediately lock horns—with the slightly larger Italian taking charge, applying a front facelock, transitioning the hold into a quick snap suplex, followed by a second and then a third! Verona sees Jack kipping to his feet and fires away with several hard, flosed-fisted rights and lefts much to the zebra's dismay. Jack winds up going for the ride, bouncing off the ropes and into a sharp spinebuster! Eventually, Verona pulls Jack back to his feet and sets him up for his signature crucifix powerbomb...}Vasco Dias: Here we go!
{Not quite. Jack is able to squirm out of the way before turning his opponent sideways with a series of swift kicks to the ribs! Now it's the Italian's turn to hop on this roller coaster, bounce off the strands—and into a Texan-endorsed dropkick, followed by a second! Jack holds off on the hat trick, opting to watch Roberto stumbling and bumbling around the ring before putting him into perfect firing position to hit the SCREECHER! The crowd goes nuts as Verona flops down tot he deck—only to discover that Fiona had accidentally tagger herself back in!}Terri Morasco: Blind tag!
{Jack doesn't realize what's happened as he watches Fiona nd Jess—now the two legal folks—go at it in the ring! Verona pulls himself back to his feet and charges at his opponent; he hits the brakes just in time as Jack moves out of the way of an impending clothesline. Yet as Jack tries to return the favor, he's immediately flipped head over heels...AND RIGHT THROUGH THE PAIR OF GLASS TABLES!!!}Terri Morasco: OH MY!!!
Vasco Dias: Holy Jesus!!!
{A loud “HOLY SHIT!” chant breaks out as Jack folls around the shards of glass that used to be a pair of living room coffee tables! Fiona looks over her shoulder, realizing the terror that's just happened, and Reed uses this momentary lapse in concentration to quickly hoist the Irishwoman up and plant her to the deck with her famous LOLdrop before going for the cover!}1...!
2...!!
THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
~DING-DING-DING!!!~
{Jess's music plays as she pulls McFly up to her feet and gives her a slight hug out of respect.}----------------------------------------------------------
DIAMONDS SHOWCASE TORNADO TAG MATCH
Eliza Valentine, Kayla Richards, Eternity & Crystla Hilton vs Alexis Caffrey, Sara Garcia, Esperanza Serranto & Mercedes Vargas
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is your MAIN EVENT for the evening.
{“Superstar” by Lupe Fiasco starts playing all over the Pa system. Two lights are pointed at the entrance way. Crystal Emerges through the curtains and is greeted by multiple pyros that start shooting off one by one. The crowd roars at her with a loud ovation of boos and she slowly makes her way out walking down the aisle. Crystal cracks a grin as her photographers line up to take a picture of her but she turns her nose up at the fans as she makes her way to the ring.}Alison Valance: From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 120 pounds…CRYSTAL…HILTOOOON!
{She finally makes it to the ring and places one foot on the apron and stretches the other one on the apron as well. She does a split to enter the ring and she finally makes it to her feet. She smiles bouncing around a bit as she awaits her opponent to come out…}Vasco Dias: She’ll get her shot at Kayla Richards at October Revolution for the new Shieldmaiden Championship.
Terri Morasco: That she will. She came close on many occasions in the Maiden of Steel, but in the end it was Kayla who became the inaugural champion.
Alison Valance: And now for her partner…
{"Vice grip" by parkway drive blares out as Kayla Richards emerges from the back. She stands at the entrance and looks around at the fans shaking her head. She makes her way down to the ring lifting the IWF Shieldmaiden title belt over her head before running and sliding under the bottom rope, she gets onto the second rope and shakes her hair around to the music}Alison Valance: From Norwich, England, weighing in at 127 pounds…she is the SHIELDMAIDEN…KAAAAAYLA…RICHARDS!
Terri Morasco: And speaking of Kayla…
Vasco Dias: She showed that perhaps she’s started the ascent out of her sister’s shadow.
Alison Valance: And their partner…
{Bad Reputation - Blacklisted Me hits the speakers and Eliza walks out onto the stage. She pauses and stares out over the crowd with a blank expression before shrugging and walking down the ramp.}Alison Valance: Weighing 119 pounds…ELIZA…VALENTIIIINE!
{She again pauses at the steel steps to survey the booing crowds before she climbs the steps and slips through the ropes, bouncing off to one side, rolling her shoulder back to warm up as she awaits her opponent.}Terri Morasco: She’s been tortured all night. Hell, all month for that matter. It seems like it’s the Richards Sisters, but nobody can really be for sure.
Vasco Dias: It’s true. She’s getting more and more frustrated, and I think it’s only a matter of time before she blows up. I’d hate to be whoever it is when Eliza gets her hands on them.
Alison Valance: And their partner…
{The lights in the arena go down to a blue hue and purple smoke begins to fill the entrance way as the banging drums of "Apex Predator" by Otep resound throughout the arena, the sirens and the lyrics introduce Eternity to the audience and as the adults boo, the children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she walks down the ramp. She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms. She continues her journey down the ramp, skipping and carrying her hat in her right hand accompanied by the chorus.}Alison Valance: From The Other Side, weighing in at 137 pounds…EEEEETERNITY!
{She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and when she reaches the centre, she transitions into a skip, over to the turnbuckle where she hangs her hat on a ringpost, patting it. She then skips to the middle of the ring and gets down on one knee, a leg outstretched behind her, as she looks heavenward and raises an arm in front of her, her hand reaching towards the sky. This gesture now triggers the lights to slowly be raised back up to normal levels as her music starts also to fade away.}Terri Morasco: The former Diamonds Champion looks to get back to her winning ways tonight.
Vasco Dias: We haven’t seen her or the Diamonds Champion in action, since Extreme Endurance, and we get them both here tonight.
Alison Valance: And now…for their opponents…
{Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.} Alison Valance: From Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 127 pounds…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
{Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. She waits at the bottom of the walkway for her partners in this match.}Terri Morasco: Alexis issued an open challenge and earlier tonight, Mercedes Vargas who has criticized both Alexis’ and Eternity’s reigns came out and answered the call.
Vasco Dias: And yet they’re supposed to be partners here? I don’t see how this match even works. All women hate each other. It’s supposed to be a secret, but it’s of the worst kept variety.
Alison Valance: And her partner…
{"Damage" by Krizz Kaliko starts to play, as Esperanza comes dancing out onto the ramp. She runs to each end of the stage, throwing her hands in the air and pumping up the crowd. She then comes back to the middle, and points to the ring, before walking toward it. She slaps hands with some fans on her way down, stopping when she sees a young girl in the front row. With a grin, she whispers something in her ear, and sets her Raiders cap on top of the girls head.}Alison Valance: From Compton, California, weighing in at 130 pounds…ESPERANZA SERRANTOOOO!
{Esperanza slides into the ring, and pops to her feet with both hands in the air. She hops up on the second rope and gets the crowd hyped some more before dropping back down to the mat.}Terri Morasco: The newcomer had a good showing last week against Kayla Richards.
Vasco Dias: She did, but it was Kayla who came out on top retaining the Shieldmaiden Title.
Alison Valance: And their partner…
{“Over You” by Girlicious plays throughout the arena. Seventeen seconds into the song, Paige and Sara come out to a negative reaction as they holds their hand in the air above their heads, their index fingers pointed down at themselves as they do a quick spin around before walking down to the ring, talking themselves up to all of those in attendance and everyone watching at home.}Alison Valance: Accompanied to the ring by Paige Garcia, from San Diego, California, weighing 135 pounds…SARA GARCIIIIAAA!
{The two sisters jump up on the apron, posing for the crowd, showing off their beauty before each sitting on the middle rope and swinging their legs to the left, pulling the rest of their bodies in as well. They pose again for the crowd who boo as the two talk strategy before Paige exits to ringside.}Terri Morasco: These two had a nice showing in the Shieldmaiden but the numbers didn’t work in their favor.
Vasco Dias: They’ll regroup, it’s what they do. They’ll be stronger as a unit and the next time we see them, they’ll be on top.
Alison Valance: And their partner…
{“Cult of Love” by Living Color hits the sound system with a slow piano theme. The drums beat as "Cult of Personality" is mashed in just as Alexis skips out onto the stage. Alexis pose with the Diamonds Title for the crowd who once cheered her, but now shows their dislike of her, not phasing her one bit as she skips down to the ring, seemingly without a care in the world.}Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 115 pounds, she is the IWF Diamonds Champion...ALEXIS…CAFFREEEEY!!!
{She gets to the ring and climbs in, holding the Diamonds Title in the air, spinning around for all to see as the other Diamonds look on.}Terri Morasco: You can see each and every one of the Diamonds in the ring staring at that title.
Vasco Dias: It’s true, they all want it, and if they didn’t, I’d tell them to hit the bricks.
Terri Morasco: No you wouldn’t.
Vasco Dias: Probably not…I’d tell them to hit my sheets.
Terri Morasco: PIG!
{She hands the title over and the referee takes it to the time keeper as all the Diamonds get in the center of the ring. Words are being exchanged between partners, between opposing teams, all of it until Alexis and Eliza turn to their respective teams, trying to back them into a corner. Mercedes is having none of this as she gets in Alexis’ face before Alexis smacks her right across the face and starts laughing. Mercedes quickly turns and shoves Alexis into Eliza who turns and decks Alexis in the back of the head. The teams come to blows as the crowd erupts!}Terri Morasco: A melee here folks!
Vasco Dias: So much for control.
{The Diamonds are hammering away at one another. Sara Garcia and Crystal are trading blows. Kayla and Esperanza are continuing from last week. Eternity and Mercedes are fighting now after comments Mercy made during the week and Eliza and Alexis are going at it. There’s really nobody getting a clear cut advantage, but Sara and Crystal spill out on to the apron where they continue to trade blows until Kayla is whipped into them by Esperanza, sending both to the floor.}Terri Morasco: This is just insane!
Vasco Dias: My eyes don’t know which way to go.
{Kayla is then clotheslined over the top rope by Esperanza who is then grabbed by Eternity who deposited Mercedes out to the floor. Eliza sees the Diamonds on the floor and charges the ropes, diving through them and taking everyone to the floor!}Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Terri Morasco: DID YOU SEE THAT!?
{Alexis charges and deposits Eternity on the outside with a dropkick through the ropes. She then climbs to the top turnbuckle and lunges forward with a Crossbody onto the pile that again falls down to the floor as the crowd erupts into a “This is AWESOME!” chant.}Vasco Dias: These girls are putting on a show tonight.
{As they slowly all get up, Kayla and Crystal have words about how Crystal ended up on the floor, and the two of them start shoving one another, soon coming to blows, fighting up the walkway. Esperanza and Sara slowly intervene, as all the fighting continues around the ring but starts to separate into different parts of the arena. Alexis and Mercedes fight into the backstage area as Eliza rolls into the ring with a mic in her hand. She looks around for a moment, watching all the other girls except Eternity who sits on the steel steps just outside the ring, filing her nails.}Terri Morasco: Eliza has been the victim of strange goings on all night tonight, it looks like she's finally had enough...
Vasco Dias: Not just tonight, but for several weeks now...
Eliza Valentine: Enough. I can admit when I was wrong and clearly... After tonight... This is not Amber's work OR Kayla's... And enough is enough, I refuse to spend one more moment looking over my shoulder, afraid to turn a corner or open a door or even my own fucking locker! For fear of some painted, bent up freak springing out at me!
{There are a few chuckles in the mostly quiet crowd as Eliza starts pacing back and forth in the ring, still shaking her head as though trying to keep herself focused.}Eliza Valentine: This ends now, right fucking now... Whoever you are, grow a goddamn pair and get out here NOW!
{As Eliza screams into the mic the arena once again plunges into darkness....}Eliza Valentine: No... NO! Bring the light back!
{Eliza's microphone and the commentary headsets suddenly cut out as the same slow, haunting laughter from before begins to echo around the ring, as the laughter builds to a crescendo the lights come back, brighter than before, flashing all the colours of the circus as music plays and the Imperitron shows various images of Eliza's true fear...}{Six clowns quickly slide into the ring from all sides, surrounding her and making a full circle around her they each perform small show acts, juggling, seltzer sprays etc. One clown stands oddly still, nursing a pie, spinning it gently in their hand, as Eliza turns to come face to face with this clown, she is smacked in the face with the pie with quite some force, the pan actually dinging on impact with her face.
Eliza screams and stumbles back, colliding with another clown she spins on the spot, wiping pie from her eyes still screaming and now pushing the clown she bumped into away - as she does this, Eternity slowly enters the ring. The clowns all restrain Eliza, forcing her to her knees as she screams. Eternity bends down and puts a forefinger under Eliza's chin, guiding her head up so she can look into those big beautiful blue eyes and savour the fear beyond them. Eternity slowly strokes Eliza's blonde hair and feels Eliza try to pull away, so Eternity now grabs her firmly by her hair and then leans in to lick some of the cream pie from Eliza's left cheek. Eliza is thoroughly repulsed as Eternity smiles.
Eternity then pulls Eliza up and off her knees by the hair, yanking her free from the clowns. A swift kick to the gut and Eliza doubles over and Eternity nails her with the Last Rites!
Eliza lies flat on her face in the middle of the canvas as the clowns circle her and the music continues to play and it is on this surreal image that Sacrifice's one hundredth episode goes off the air. }
Well howdy there pardner.
