We pan across the venue to see the almost entirely empty arena. The only people there are essential staff and Fukushima Zombie acting as a fan. We rest on a shot of the commentators and see Zombie in the back playing jokes in front of the camera.

Psycho KGB: "(Welcome to J-ROK's first PPV, Sol Fa! We have many big matches coming up for you fans watching on the XHF Network tonight.)"

MUSHI: "(Indeed we do, Two unification title matches, we'll crown the new tag team champions and so much more!)"

---

A familiar voice is heard, played through a dark black screen. It airs across the screens of all the home-bound viewers;

“Animus. Definitions vary, from feelings of motivation and determination, to hostility and ill-feelings towards another. But the one I like the most, the inner masculine part of a woman's personality. The dominant, aggressive, almost beastly part some might say. Hmm.”

The voice is too familiar, and all know it to be the voice of Bodhi. The black screen brightens into one of pure static.

BODHI

“Animus means many things by definition, but many things more by action. Animus stands for many things, not just transcriptions but acts of note. We have been around since the incarnation of the Sakura Shoujo Stampede, the birth of the Japanese Renaissance of Kakuto, and the coalition of the IJWF federations. We have seen many things come and go, but the main sickness that has shattered this world still persists...”

She pauses, for dramatic effect. A new voice takes over, that of Kat Oni.

KAT ONI

“A virus. A disease. Not the dreaded COVID-19, but a new one… Ego. Arrogance. Self-admiration. The Pack succeeds based on our ability to perform, not our ability to hype ourselves up. We do not congratulate, we do not ask for adoration. We take what is ours, and we rule with bloodied fists, fangs and claws.”

She chuckles, just a little.

KAT ONI

“We will enter as champions of this new coalition, but we will leave as their alpha’s. Tonight, Animus put their mark on this world. Tonight, Animus cures the virus infecting these federations. Tonight… Animus breaks the mold. We are united in our Pack, we are undivided in our goals, we are banded on our mission. Animus are immortal.”

She laughs, sounding more sinister. Bodhi finishes up.

BODHI

“Bad bitches live forever.”

The Animus logo flashes on screen, the first glimpse of anything in color before the scene fades out.

Match One: J-ROK Doom Metal Championship Match; Last Scene Match; 30 Minute Time Limit
Takuma Okazaki Vs. Yuri Mochizuki Vs. Kimiko Uehara Vs. Jax Biggs Vs. Brendan Harding Vs. Lucas Swann Vs. Deco Vs. Ognom

Psycho KGB: “(This first match tonight is to determine the first ever Doom Metal Championship. And this title is unlike any other ever seen on the XHF Network MUSHI.)”

MUSHI: “(Indeed it is KGB-San! The loser of the match is actually going to be the one who gets this title. But how does it work in a match such as this you may be asking your friends and family right now)”

Psycho KGB: “(They’re wrestling fans, they don’t have friends or family who’ll watch it with them. But please, carry on.)”

MUSHI: “(As i was saying, the final person to be pinned or submitted will be the one who gets this title. You will keep this title until you can beat someone. Once you beat someone you will no longer be burdened by this dreadful belt. Also, while holding this belt you may not be on proper shows or ppvs…)”

Psycho KGB: “(...Minus this show of course…)”

MUSHI: “(Minus this show, yes. After this whoever holds this title will only be in house show matches, dark matches and overall, on the undercard till they lose this title. As for the match itself, well we’ll take it down to Daemura-San to give you the details.)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a Last Scene Death Match and is for the J-ROK Doom Metal Championship! The competitors in the ring are Takuma Okazaki, Yuri Mochizuki, Kimiko Uehara, Jax Biggs, Brendan Harding, Lucas Swann, Deco, and Ognom! In this match you must continue to get pins and submissions on opponents, the last pinfall or submission that takes place at the end of the 30 minutes will be declared the loser and champion!)”

Everyone is in the ring now, looking around. They stay cautious as no one wants to get pinned or submitted. The bell rings and the big man Jax grabs hold of the nearest person, unlucky for Kimiko, as she’s closest. He grabs her by the arm and slings her around like a weapon towards everyone else. He picks her up in a military press before yeeting her into the 5th row. Even worse luck there’s no fans in this empty arena show (duh) and she lands hard on the chairs and concrete.

You can hear a loud thud and an audible cringe from everyone in the venue. Jax lets out a scream before picking someone else up. Everyone else gets the fuck out of dodge and heads out of the ring, leaving poor Lucas Swann in the ring with the Last Gaijin Monster. Swann, to his credit doesn’t back down. He charges him with a lariat, but the big man doesn’t go down. He just looks pissed. He tries again and nothing out of it. Swanns face goes from confident and hope to despair and regret as another kick fails to do much to the large man. He looks around at everyone else, who’s basically turned into lumber jacks at this point, as if asking them, begging them to help him out with this guy.

They all give him thumbs up or a shake of the head, some even sitting in the empty seats! Before Lucas can turn around though

*BAM!*

He gets absolutely murdered! Just demolished as Biggs sends him blasting off again like team rocket with a pounce from hell. Biggs looks at everyone else, who don’t even make an effort into getting into the ring. Instead he goes out of the ring and starts going after anyone he can, grabbing chairs and anything else, throwing them everywhere and at everyone. By this point Deco and Brendan have ran back in the ring. In the background we can see the likes of Ognom and Takuma fighting off and trying to survive the giant known as Jax. Meanwhile back in the ring, Harding and Deco, two of the three rookies tonight, start to fight one another.

Both go at one another with strikes. Punches, kicks, knees and other things. Both trade shots in a brutal and vicious brawl in the middle of the ring. Brendan would go for a superkick, but it’d miss. Deco would kick him low before landing her Tag & Bag shining wizard. She’d be met with a bicycle knee from Yuri. Yuri would pick up Brendan and try for a big move. Brendan would get out and push her into an incoming Ognom before sliding out of the ring for a breather.

Ognom would charge her and hits her with a big boot. Yuri slides out of the ring as Ognom is met with a massive Lariat from Okazaki. A move he calls the Big Tiger Bomber. He goes to pin Ognom, seeing this everyone else dog piles on top to secure a pin from someone.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Psycho KGB: “(He got cucked again!)”

MUSHI: “(He got what?)”

Psycho KGB: “(Well you see it’s when a man is…)”

MUSHI: “(SHUT UP! WE CAN’T TALK ABOUT SUCH NAUGHTY THINGS ON AIR!)”

Psycho KGB: “(But we can show a guy getting stabbed?)”

MUSHI: “(RULE 18! Shut up or you’ll have us kicked for breaking it you idiot! Just watch the match. Just… watch the match.)”

Ognom is the first to be pinned, with that everyone gets out of the ring and gets away from him like he has the cheese touch. He starts yelling about how he will not be cucked, despite possibly being so before. We’re not sure, but we go with it. The man from South Korea starts yelling and screaming things we can’t say on air, despite showing things far worse. It doesn’t make sense to us either, but just go with it. Anyways Ognom gets out and starts chasing people around the ring and all through the venue. He makes his way up to the commentary booth and he goes to pin Psycho KGB.

The referee informs him that Psycho KGB isn’t in the match and the pin doesn’t count. Besides that it’s outside the ring and it doesn’t count for that reason also. Ognom gets back in the ring as the time starts ticking. He rolls up the referee and Kimiko slides in to make the count. The ref gets pinned by Ognom!

The ref now starts trying to chase people around and argues with Kimiko who made the pin. She gets rolled up by Yuri for a three count herself. Uehara is now pinned and the current Doom Metal Champion. She starts trying to roll people up herself. On the outside we see Ognom run into Biggs, Ognom gets thrown into the ring by Biggs. Brendan gets in the ring himself, Now him Ognom and Kimiko are in the ring. She hits Ognom with an Ultra Slash PK Kick into his chest. Harding hits him with a Thanix Cannon torpedo moscow before going for the pin. Uehara piles on…

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Ognom gets pinned again!!!!

And with that for the rest of the match everyone avoids everyone else for the last minute or so of the match.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match Brendan Harding! And due to Ognom being pinned last, your new J-ROK Doom Metal Champion… OGNOM!)”

Match Two: SKS Jumpstart Championship & SSS Pride of Sakura Championship Unification Match; Loop & Loop Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Randy Angel Vs. Wolf Fang Ayame

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is scheduled to be a Loop and Loop Death match! You win the match by either submission or knock out or if your opponent leaves the ring! It is the unification match between the SKS Jumpstart championship and the SSS Pride of Sakura championship! The winner will become the first Jrok Straight Edge Champion! Featuring first the challenger...Randy Angel!)"

“My Own Worst Enemy” by Lit begins playing as Randy Angel staggers out from the back. He looks around at the empty arena as if expecting fans to be cheering him on. When he finds no one to either cheer or him or boo at him, he shrugs. He takes a nip from a flask and begins staggering toward the ring.

Randy rolls into the ring where the ref tries to take away his flask as it’s an illegal weapon. Randy holds the ref back with one hand and pounds down the rest of the flask before handing it over.

MUSHI: "(Should Randy be drinking right before his match?)"

Psycho KGB: "(Probably. It’s like his superpower. He gets drunk and fights to win!)"

MUSHI: "(Or passes out in the middle of the ring.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And his opponent...Wolf Fang Ayame!)"

O・TE・A・GE・DA! By BRADIO begins playing as Wolf Fang Ayame walks out from the back with her hands raised in the air. When she isn’t greeted by the roaring of the fans, she lowers her arms and heads down to the ring. She looks from side to side at the empty arena as she walks until she rolls into the ring and focuses her attention on Randy Angel. Her face twists up into a look of disgust as Randy Angel leans in the corner for support.

MUSHI: "(She doesn’t look ready to face the slimeball that is Randy Angel.)"

Psycho KGB: "(It takes a certain kind of wrestler to be able to stand up against Randy Angel and not be revolted.)"

As the bell rings to start the match, Randy Angel rushes across the ring to take a few wild swings at Wolf Fang Ayame. She easily dodges each strike with a wide grin, stopping as Randy misses a roundhouse punch to blow a kiss. She grabs Randy by the head, hits a few knee lifts, and then backs up for a lightning quick drop kick that sends Randy to the mat.

Randy is quick to get back up, but Ayame hits him with the ole face wash. Randy knocks her hands away and shoves her back. He goes in for a clothesline, but is brought down to the mat instead as Ayame locks in an armbar.

Randy screams in pain, like really. You might think that he were dying. The ref checks to see if he submits, but he refuses. In fact.

Angel: She’s pulling on my armpit hair! Illegal! Illegal!

The ref checks to see this is true. The hold is relaxed slightly while Wolf Fang Ayame shows the ref that she is not pulling hair of any sort. Randy takes advantage of the moment to grab Ayame by the hair in the front of her head, pulls down, and slams her in the face with a knee lift that sends her staggering backwards.

Randy goes wild, hitting Ayame with lefts and rights. About half of these wild punches miss as Randy sways drunkenly. He trips her to the mat and sits on her chest while choking her out!

MUSHI: "(That’s blatantly illegal!)"

Psycho KGB: "(I don’t even know why the ref checked for the hair pull. This is a death match, not a traditional bout!)"

MUSHI: "(Oh right. Why did the ref check?)"

Psycho KGB: "(Cause the ref is stupid?)"

Randy continues to choke Ayame, lifting her up and slamming her down to the mat as he does so. Eventually, he gets up, breaking the hold. Ayame grasps at her throat, rolling on the mat while trying to regain her breath.

Randy staggers over to a corner to lean on. He reaches into a boot to pull out a small flask that he drinks from. The ref protests, but Randy just shrugs.

Angel: Whatchu gunna do? Disqualify me?

The ref stomps her foot and Randy just laughs. The ref looks over her shoulder and just smiles. She steps out of the way for Wolf Fang Ayame to hit a cartwheel back elbow, knocking the flask down to the floor. Ayame pulls Randy out of the corner as if to whip him across the ring and then sends him back into the corner with a crash. She grabs Randy by the shoulders and hits several knee lifts before pulling him out of the corner and into a back roll throw across the ring!

MUSHI: "(Where did the power to do that come from?)"

Psycho KGB: "(It’s a martial art throw. More technique than strength.)"

Randy Angel sits up, shaking his head with a laugh. Ayame runs across the ring, leaps through the air, and lands on her knees as Randy rolls out of the way!

Randy Angel gets to his feet, grabs Ayame, and hits a ddt! He drags her back up into a forward facing headlock applied, viciously giving Ayame a noogie. The ref checks to see if she will submit, but she refuses.

Psycho KGB: "(Randy with the Big Brother Headlock!)"

MUSHI: "(It seems like a move that would make his opponent angry rather than work her down.)"

Randy pulls Ayame into an Irish whip across the ring, hitting a sky high backdrop on the rebound. He gets her into the Big Brother Headlock yet again, but this time it’s followed by a headlock driver!

Psycho KGB: "(Randy with the Drunk Dropper! Is this it?)"

MUSHI: "(The ref is instructing Randy to back away as she begins to count.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(Winner of the match by knock out and NEW JROK Straight Edge Champion...Randy Angel!)"

Randy rolls out of the ring, celebrating, but looking for his fallen flask. He picks it up and tries to drink from it, but finds that it had spilled out onto the floor. He shakes the flask over his mouth with a look of disappointment. A Masked man dressed in a hazmat suit holding the Straight Edge Championship Belt walks out onto the stage. He uses a long hook to hand the belt over to Randy, who celebrates with it.

{The camera cuts to backstage, coming into focus within a dimly lit room with a few overhanging light fixtures radiating dull rays onto what sat below them. In the middle of the room, sits a small wooden table with four figures sat around it, one visibly larger than the others. Adding to the difficult sights is the fact that all are bearing masks, two of which seem to be bearing darker colored ones compared to two others who are wearing white ones. Amid the masked folk, one stands out in particular: the figure with his feet up on the edge of the table, hands folded against his stomach...wearing a very recognizable Guy Fawkes mask, even in the dark, it’s not easy to mistake Kingsley Solomon at the head of his Harbingers.}

Kingsley (chuckling): “Gentlemen I must say that business is off to a good start here in J-ROK. I mean, the destruction, especially what you did to that one guy Joel, is only just beginning. We haven’t even dived into the chaos aspect of it.”

{A hyena like cackle emits from the opposite end of the table.}

Kingsley: “Oh yes Fenrir, we’re getting close to that, don’t you worry about it sport. For now though, there’s still quite a bit of planning to do, especially with our client.”

Joel: “What exactly is it that he even wants with us?”

{The muscle of the Harbingers grunts in irritation.}

Kingsley: “Just a little something you’re familiar with Joel: Protective services. As much as we’re to act as the man’s cavalry we’re to also protect him at the same time. In a way, think of us as the Justiciars of this fine company: the ones who keep order and discipline those who dare defy us.”

Joel: “SKY Force certainly tried…”

Jormungandr: “But alas...failed in their homecoming. Tch...surprised you didn’t rip that cat to shreds. The fans’ constant fawning over it nearly made my ears bleed every time it got held up.”

Joel: “I wanted to but there were too many numbers to handle in that scenario. Had it been a singles contest and the rest of us acting as seconds, then I would’ve opted for some fun on the outside.”

{Fenrir sneers at the remark, garnering a bemused smirk from Joel.}

Kingsley: “Gentlemen, gentlemen, that is but a speck of the past. Those girls should’ve known better and let’s hope they know now lest they want Fenrir to tear them a new one.”

Fenrir: “My claws remain at the ready.”

Kingsley (laughing): “And you’ll get your chance soon enough.”

{Swiftly, Kingsley moves his feet off the table and stands up from his chair, dusting off his suit jacket.}

Kingsley: “As you’re certainly aware about tonight, the finals of that tag tournament are scheduled to take place after that Deathmatch between that old mutt of a wrestler and cyberpunk reject. Fenrir, Jormun, I suggest you watch that very closely and should the need arise, give the winner’s a piece of your minds."

Jormungandr: “It shall be done.”

Fenrir: “I’ll tear whoever still stands to shreds!”

{Fenrir slaps his hands on the table, jumping up out of his chair with a rabid look in his eyes. Jormungandr, on the other hand, rather calmly stands from his seat as he looks over at his partner.}

Jormungandr: “Come. Best we find ourselves a spot to get cozy in and wait for the time to arrive.”

{Beckoning for Fenrir to the follow, the Sons of Loki make their exit, light briefly flooding into the room and showing more of the empty interior before receding to its dimly light setting once more.}

Joel: “And as for us?”

Kingsley: “Well, for you at least, there’s that New Wave Championship match happening in a few minutes. Figure you could make yourself comfortable and watch that...especially knowing that one of the people involved in that is a former AXW Undisputed Champion.”

{A wicked grin crosses the Harbinger’s lips as he rubs at his beard for a moment.}

Joel: “Then this just might be the entertainment I’m looking for then. Take it the main event is in your hands for observation?”

Kingsley (shrugging): “What else would I be watching so closely? Like I told the Sons, cause mayhem if you see fit but knowing you, you’re the type to wait for a good opportunity to present itself. Smart thinking on your end but I’m curious as to what the boys do.”

Joel: “All depends on whether or not Fenrir listens or not.”

Kingsley: “A fair point indeed.”

{An uproar of cheers is faintly heard in the background, capturing the attention of both men.}

Kingsley: “Sounds like that match I mentioned is about to get underway. Best start finding a good spot to watch, Joel.”

{The Harbinger nods in agreement as he stands, making his exit. The door closes once more, Kingsley produces a cell phone in hand, his thumb quickly dotting the screen before raising it to his ear. After a few moments, he lets out a chuckle as the receiver picks up.}

Kingsley: “I hope you’ll be watching closely tonight my good sir. I want you to see exactly who we’ll be dealing with and then we can start devising plans on how to break them all down…”

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is a Siren Death match and is for the IJWF Tag Team championship! Featuring first...Olympia Herakles and Amber Cooke. They are PURE!)"

The Olympic March begins playing as Olympia Herakles and Amber Cooke walk out from the back together. They take glances at the empty arena before heading down to the ring.

Psycho KGB: "(They hadn’t been a team long I don’t think. Why didn’t Amber Cooke come down to her own music?)"

MUSHI: "(It’s a show of solidarity? Besides, I don’t think that Amber has any entrance music on record.)"

Psycho KGB: "(See? That second thing you say makes more sense to me than the first. No music on file. Lazy.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And their opponents...Bodhi and Kat-Oni. They are Animus!)"

*B A D*
*B I T C H E S*
*L I V E*
*F O R E V E R*

The lights dim low as 'Husbands' hits the speakers and the slow yet aggressive tune whispers through the speakers to the crowd. As the song rears its angry head, the duo of Animus walk out onto the stage to a bright spotlight on them, as they stare through the empty arena. No smiles this time, as these girls mean business. They take a moment to observe the audience before fist bumping one another and walking to the ring. Kat-Oni breaks into a run and slides in across the ring, quickly popping up to mount a corner turnbuckle and stare into the empty arena with a wild look on her face. She removes her horned helm and tosses it to ringside, while Bodhi takes her time climbing the stairs and entering the ring through the ropes, circling the mat and circling her vision through the empty arena.

Psycho KGB: "(You would have thunk that these girls have never seen an empty arena before.)"

MUSHI: "(Maybe not? Pretty bold of Kat-Oni to rush up the turnbuckles like that since hitting the barbed wire the wrong way could cause an explosion.)"

Psycho KGB: "(They ain’t armed yet ya goon. Otherwise, there would have been all kinds of explosions as they all entered the ring.)"

MUSHI: "(Oh...right. I forgot.)"

Olympia Herakles and Bodhi start the match out as the bell sounds alongside a siren to indicate that the explosives around the ring have gone live.

MUSHI: "(Oh my gawd. It’s like the starting of the Purge.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Everything is legal in the ring right now so it’s a good comparison.)"

Olympia and Bodhi begin circling each other as the siren finishes echoing throughout the empty arena. They reach for one another and back away in synch as they try to make their opening move.

MUSHI: "(I think it’s worthy to note that Bohdi has to wrestle another match tonight so she shouldn’t be taking too many risks.)"

Psycho KGB: "(That wasn’t very bright of her.)"

MUSHI: "(Sometimes you do what ya gotta do.)"

Olympia clashes into Bodhi with a few lefts and rights before bringing her down to the mat with a headlock takedown. Bodhi quickly slips out from Olympia’s grasp, but is grabbed and taken down with another headlock. Bodhi slips out again, but is taken down for a third time. She brings Bodhi down with a quick bulldog.

Olympia brings Bodhi up and whips her toward the barbed wire, but Bodhi puts on the brakes before running into the trapped barbed wires. She rushes at Olympia, who was clearly waiting for an explosion, and hits a midknee to the gut that was followed by a roundhouse kick to the side of the head. Bodhi continues to spin, bringing another roundhouse sweep of the legs to bring Olympia down, and one more spin into something of a roundhouse stomp.

Bodhi brings Olympia up, grabs her by both wrists, jumps up into the air, and thrusts with her legs for something of a drop kick that sends Olympia backwards into the barbed wire ropes.

*BOOM!*

Olympia staggers forward, her back burned and cut, into a high knee strike that sends her to the mat. Bodhi tags in Kat-Oni, who comes into the ring. They pull the bleeding Olympia up. Kat-Oni goes for a drop kick to send her into Bodhi’s waiting drop kick, but Olympia palms both of Kat-Oni’s feet and shoves. Kat-Oni is sent head first into the barbed wire ropes.

*BOOM!*

Kat-Oni is entangled within the ropes and works on trying to get out when the explosives go off yet again.

*BOOM!*

Olympia spins around, catching Bodhi by the foot as she goes for the superkick anyways. She pulls Bodhi in for a clothesline that brings her down to the mat. Olympia crosses the ring, making the tag into Amber Cooke.

The ref tries to help Kat-Oni out of the barbed wire, jumping back away from the wiring when the explosion goes off yet again.

*BOOM!*

MUSHI: "(Can’t they stop the explosions from happening for Kat-Oni to get free from the barbed wire?)"

Psycho KGB: "(What would be the fun in that?)"

The last explosion knocks Kat-Oni into the center of the ring where she lays like a dead, burned thing. She’s cut all over her body with burns here and there. Bodhi looks like she doesn’t want to leave the ring, but the ref makes her exit.

Amber Cooke steps toward Kat-Oni, watching her writhe on the mat in pain. She pulls Kat-Oni up to her feet and hits a backbreaker. She goes for the pinfall!

One
Tw- Kat-Oni kicks out!

Amber kneels up, pulls Kat up, and slams the back of her head against the mat before going for the pinfall again.

One
Two
Thr-Bodhi makes the save!

Amber stands up backs up to the corner where she tags in Olympia. Before exiting the ring, Amber rushes across the ring as Kat-Oni gets up, leaps through the air, and lands a superman forearm to send her backwards into the barbed wire once again!

*BOOM!*

Psycho KGB: "(What a forearm!)"

MUSHI: "(Poor Kat!)"

Kat-Oni drops away from the barbed wire to her knees and then flat onto her face. Bodhi is reaching as far as she can, screaming at Kat to get up and make the tag. Olympia stalks Kat-Oni, kicking her as she tries to get up.

Olympia gets Kat-Oni up into an Olympic slam position, but Kat-Oni drops behind her. She jumps up and hits a reverse frankensteiner!

MUSHI: "(Kat found the energy to do a Demon’s Bite!)"

Psycho KGB: "(How did she manage that?)"

Olympia lays on the mat, rolling around in pain, as Kat-Oni uses her hands to drag herself across the ring to try to get to Bodhi. Olympia gets up, seeing her danger as Kat nears Bodhi’s outstretched hand. She grabs at Kat’s legs, but Kat lunges the last few feet and makes the tag!

Bodhi leaps over the barbed wire ropes into nailing a drop kick that sends Olympia backwards into the barbed wire ropes.

*BOOM!*

Bodhi runs across the ring, hitting a forearm to Amber that knocks her from the ring apron down to the land mines below.

*BOOM!*

Bodhi runs back across the ring as Olympia is rising to her feet and hits a buzzsaw kick to the side of the head! Olympia drops down to the mat and Bodhi goes for the pinfall!

MUSHI: "(Queen’s Call! This one could be all over!)"

One
Two
Three!

Fumio Daemura: "(Winners of the match and STILL IJWF tag team champions...Animus!)"

Kat-Oni steps back into the ring to celebrate with Bodhi as the mines are being deactivated.

The cameras cut to the backstage area of Motion Blue Yokohama where we’re met with the former AXW Undisputed Champion, James Raymond, sitting on a steel chair and watching Sol-Fa continue on.

James Raymond: It has been way too long since I've held some true gold, not held something since the AXW Undisputed Championship and... we all know what happened to that. But tonight, it is different. Tonight, I make my first shot at the Japanese scene and I take a title shot that I was given to generously by whoever is in charge around here, that title being the New Wave Championship.


James does nothing more than smile, the very mention of a championship near him on his comeback satisfies him.


James Raymond: You see, that title was one of the many titles on my radar and you... Momoko Honda... You just so happen to hold that championship, you just happen to be in this match. Look, you might have won some titles and tournaments elsewhere and that's good, for you, but for me it doesn't matter... You're not cut out to be a good champion. You're only eighteen, you've your whole life to live whilst my days are growing short. I'm glad I'm able to fight after my last match, back in June, Night of Anonymous II. I was still fighting through a neck injury given to me by Rob Arnold a few months prior, luckily my career was never cut short.


James rubs the back of his neck, still feeling the pain endured for months on end.


James Raymond: I don't want the New Wave Championship because I feel like it, Momoko, I need the New Wave Championship because I deserve to be champion once again and I need to show people that James Raymond... The Platinum Star... is fucking back with a god damn vengeance and he won't stop until he's back at the top of the mountain. I know you must be thinking that I'm chasing the wrong championship to be on the top of the mountain but I'm the person that elevated the Anonymous Assault Championship to be a top fucking title, I can do it again if I ever wanted to... and I will. Momoko Honda, I have to say it was a nice championship reign you had. A cute little one for someone like you, but you're stepping into the ring with the wrong person.


James begins to laugh at the camera.


James Raymond: You're looking at the King of the Deathmatch, the Assassinator of Curtis D. Kanyon, the Gamechanger, The Platinum Star... James FUCKING Raymond. The next PURE... New Wave Champion.


James walks out of shot as we cut back to the arena.

Match Four: J-ROK New Wave Championship Match; Tables Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
James Raymond Vs. Momoko Honda(C.)

Psycho KGB: “(Momoko Honda looks to keep her New Wave Championship and beat a former world champion in James Raymond right here tonight in a tables match)”

MUSHI: “(You have to wonder what strategy both will use in a match like this one. Will they be more cautious or will they go balls to the wall and try to end it early?)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a tables match for the J-ROK New Wave Championship. The only way to win this match is by putting your opponent through a table. Now introducing first, the challenger. In the red corner, standing in at 5’9 and weighing in at 209 pounds coming from Coventry City, England, United Kingdom, James Raymond!)”

James comes out to a boo from Fukushima Zombie as she throws a roll of paper towels at him.

Fumio Daemura: “(And his opponent in the blue corner, standing in at 5’1 and weighing in at 114 pounds, coming to us from Kyoto, Japan she is the REIGNING! DEFENDING! J-ROK New Wave Champion… Momoko Honda!)”

Momoko gets a cheer from the single “fan” in the venue and some streamers thrown into the ring for her.

The seconds and young lions all get the paper towels and streamers out of the ring before the bell rings and the match is off. James looks to use his height and weight advantage to full effect as he locks up with Honda. He picks up Momoko and throws her over the ropes, He backs up and tries to throw her off into the table below, but to no avail. Honda knees him and dropkicks James into the corner pole. He falls off and is laying on the ground now.

Momoko gets back in the ring to catch her bearings. Raymond can be seen getting back up, this time with a table in hand. He throws it in the ring and it hits Honda, He slides in and hits her with a lariat as she gets back up. Not letting up, he picks her back up and hits her with a corkscrew brainbuster, a move he calls the Devil's Halo.

MUSHI: “(That’s going to hurt in the morning!)”

Psycho KGB: “(Come on guys! Lets get some blood! Lets get some violence! Go crazy!!!!!)”

James picks her up to try another move but Momoko slips out. The champ bounces off the ropes with speed and force coming back with a beautiful hurricanrana. She sets up the table and picks up Raymond, laying him down on the table. She climbs up to the top of the rope. She takes her time to try for a move, which hurts her in the long run. James pops up like a jack rabbit and hops to the top of the ropes. He hits Momoko with a Kings Landing sit out last ride power bomb off the top right onto the table.

Psycho KGB: “(I AM THE TABLE!)”

MUSHI: “(Both competitors bounced right off the table! Neither went through the table so this match is still going!)”

Honda and Raymond lay beside the unaffected table as we can hear a few staff members and even Zombie, who’s sitting in the seats tonight, let out an audible gasp from what they’ve seen. After a minute they both get back up with the help of the ropes. Honda is holding her back and James has a limp after falling ass first on the table a few seconds ago. Momoko hits Raymond with a tsunami strike shining wizard before picking him up in front of a now slanted table. She hits her Earth Quaker cross arm neckbreaker onto him through the table to win the match.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match and still New Wave Champion… Momoko Honda!)”

A previously recorded segment appears on the screen as we see Psycho KGB Sitting in an empty building from earlier.

Psycho KGB: “(Now’s time for our special guest tonight. This young man made a big splash, but his debut last month left us with more questions than answers.)”

The music plays as a man wearing a mask comes out from the empty set. He takes off the mask to reveal it to be Dylan Black, the man who attacked Daisuke Tokugawa on the February 29th edition of Jam Sessions. He sits in a chair three feet away from Psycho as social distancing is a hot buzzword in today's environment and an important thing to do to avoid getting sick.

Psycho KGB: “(Thanks for making it out here tonight Dylan, we really appreciate you making it here despite all that’s going on in the world these days. Well let’s not beat around the bush here, why Dylan? Why’d you do what you did last month?)”

Dylan Black: “(*scoffs* This is what you bring me out to do? You lot here, you're not a smart bunch are ya? Why did I do it? Well, why not? Maybe, I wanted to make a statement. A statement to Daisuke, to Fukushima and the rest of Death Startling, to J-ROK as a whole. Maybe, I wanted to just, prove that I can show up anywhere, anytime, without consequences. Or maybe I did it, just because? *scratches his chin* The world will never truly know, unless I want them to know.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Many fans watching at home won’t understand your actions even after explaining them, but onto our next question, This isn’t actually your first match in Japan. You wrestled here with ZDS under the mask as The Anomoly. Making essentially your return to Japan, how are you going to go about this Texas Death Match against Daisuke Tokugawa in a week?)”

Dylan Black: “(Ah ah ah... *wags a finger* I know where this is going, you're going to try to squeeze out my strategy, my thoughts and PLAN, to knock Tokugawa down a peg. Well, sorry KGB but my lips are sealed! Just know, that I always have a plan, and parents, you may want to keep your children away from the monitors. It's going to be bloody at Sol Fa.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Well i hope it’s going to be a fun and bloody match! Can you tell us why you chose J-ROK to wrestle in? We know you’ve been wrestling in CW and eventually in IRW as Dylan Black. That’s where you got that metal hand of yours; and you wrestled in AXW till the very end as well, but why choose J-ROK over somewhere like AWF, MCCW, or even SWAT or DW?)”

Dylan Black: “(Well I actually do have a bit more history in Japan then you realize. I made my debut in Japan months before I'd joined XHF, where I had a small one-month run where I picked up a tag team championship for a few days. And I've made sporadic appearances in Japan as well. I chose J-ROK because I've always loved the culture of Japan, the people are honestly the kindest people I've met. And from a wrestling standpoint, because it's a whole new breed of people to fight. I've been fighting the same kinds of people for years, and I needed a fresh start, a breath of something new; something exciting. It's so much different than FWA, fighting in a prison; fighting in fucking... space, in CW. Over the UK and Europe in AXW. There were specific styles and specific things people did in those places, but J-ROK felt so much different. Like, words just don't explain that stuff. It's a totally different experience that I'm excited to embark on.)"

Psycho KGB: “(Speaking of AXW, how did it feel fighting your friend and ZDS compatriot, James Dragon at Lay Rest To The Wicked? How did it feel to finally unmask and reveal to the world who you really are?)”

Dylan Black: “(That match, with James. It was really special to me. James and I were especially close in the ZDS, I wouldn't say as close as him and Fargo but after Fargo bailed we spent more time together. James didn't actually know my plan to unmask, nor my identity, and I felt as one of the "Mount Rushmore of AXW" it felt like the final ever AXW show, would be the perfect time to put to rest that big mystery. After the fakeouts, the troll with me and Rob Arnold where I "unmasked" as him. It felt like the right moment, and it felt great! But that match... honestly, one of my favorite ones to date. It felt like closure, to get a chance to do the match. Two friends, two brothers. Going toe to toe. Again, words just cannot help me describe it.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Very interesting. If i may ask, what do you hope to achieve here in J-ROK? And is there anyone else here in the company you’d like to wrestle?)”

Dylan Black: “(I have no... real aspirations, per say? I have one goal - to bring pain and destruction unto everyone who crosses my path. Plain and simple.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Any last words for the fans watching at home before we finish up?)”

Dylan Black: “(J-ROK... heed my warning. A new day of reckoning is hot on your heels. Beware the One-Man Death Squad, the Shepard of Fire, the Messiah of MAYHEM! BEWARE DYLAN BLACK!)”

Dylan picks up his mask, drawing a shaka gesture across his throat. We cut back to the current action soon after.

Match Five: Texas Death Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Daisuke Tokugawa Vs. Dylan Black

Psycho KGB: “(Earlier i interviewed Dylan, and honestly, that guy is even a dick to me. Just don’t tell him i said it.)”

MUSHI: “(Many things were discussed in that interview, but now it’s time for the match itself. A Texas Death match was made for tonight between Dylan Black and the man he attacked last month, Daisuke Tokugawa. The older veteran is looking to beat some respect into this young kid tonight Psycho.)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a Texas Death match! Now the only way to win this match is by being knocked out or being unable to get to your feet before 10 seconds. Introducing first, in the blue corner, Standing in at 5’11 and weighing in at 220 pounds, from Kitamono, Saitama, Japan… Daisuke Tokug-)”

Fumio stops the introductions as he sees Tokugawa and Black brawling from out back already. The bell quickly rings as the referee gets outside to officiate the action we’re witnessing right now. Tokugawa sends Black back through a row of chairs with some heavy fists. Both men are laying them into one another as they go through the chairs.

Daisuke picks him up and slams him on a table in the venue. Dylan lands hard before trying to roll off the table. Daisuke grabs him by the hair before he powerbombs him onto the hard concrete off the sturdy table. The ref begins to count…

One!

Two!

Thr-

Dylan is back up to his feet. He comes back up with a bar stool and bashes it across the head of Tokugawa. The stool breaks into pieces, sending Tokugawa stumbling back into a booth.Dylan tries to superkick him, but it’s caught into a saito suplex instead. Black crashes into the booth as Daisuke walks away towards the bar area.

Black soon follows after getting back up. Daisuke smashes a bottle of sake across Dylans head before jumping off the bar counter, attempting a crossbody. Dylan catches him and gets him in position for a package piledriver.

Psycho KGB: “(Royal Massacre from Black! Right onto the concrete!)”

One!

Two!

Three!

Fo-

Dylan picks Tokugawa back up, dragging him towards the exit of the building. He superkicks him out of the door. Tokugawa tumbles backwards through the doors and down the stairs into the front parking lot. Dylan follows him down as the camera man works hard to follow behind and get the action. Luckily for us J-ROK has another camera man waiting outside so we don’t miss anything.

Daisuke crawls towards a car. Dylan charges him when he gets to his feet. The veteran dumps Black over his shoulders and makes him crash hard onto the hood of the car.

Psycho KGB: “(My car! Hey, that’s my car!)”

MUSHI: “(Why’d you park right in front of the exit?)”

Psycho KGB: “(Nevermind that right now, those bastards are on my car!)”

Dylan tries to pick Tokugawa up. He drives somee fists into Black before picking him up and lifting him for the straight jacket scoop brainbuster right through the windshield!

MUSHI: “(Crown of Thorns!!!!)”

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Six!

Seven!

Eig-

No Dylan somehow gets up! With blood and glass all over his face he rises like a phoenix with a fiery passion for vengeance. He grabs a piece of glass from the broken windshield bare handed and carves at Daisuke’s chest.

Psycho KGB: “(That rat bastard is carving his initials into his chest with a piece of my front window!)”

A bloodied Tokugawa slaps Dylan as they both start fighting out of the parking lot and now out into the docks. Tokugawa grabs a big heavy chain and starts slinging it towards Dylan, hitting him in the leg and butt before he grabs hold of it and they start a tug of war match over the chain. They throw a few more strikes towards one another before Dylan wraps the chain around his neck, choking the life out of him. Tokugawa tries to fight back, but he blacks out. Dylan drags him towards the edge of the docks where he hangs Daisuke over the edge, tying the other end of the chain to a pole. Daisuke drops and swings from the edge of the docks as the referee calls the match.

MUSHI: “(Holy shit! Someone get him down from there before he dies!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match, Dylan Black!)”

---

A couple of seconds elapses before the picture comes to life. The audience is treated to the inner confines of a gym. REIKON of The Happy Few is doing some sit-ups off in the corner. SERO is in the back studying some old matches. And SORA? She’s stationed herself inside of the ring on the far right. She’s currently holding an extended bridge. The camera lingers on the shot of the family until an oh so familiar voice pipes up:

STRiFE: They’re machines, aren’t they?

She lets out a small chuckle before she steps into the shot and takes a seat in a metal chair.

STRiFE: The Kurokawa family eats, sleeps, and breathes professional wrestling. They are professional wrestling. And that’s exactly why I had to have them on my team.

She pauses for a moment.

STRiFE: I’m going to be brief here. OMI and SORA are set to do battle against Dodo-A-Gogo. And for one of the few times in their careers, The Happy Few aren’t the favorites. “Win, win, win.” That’s Anna and Lisa’s mantra, yeah? And given the fact that this is a death match, everyone has their money on them.

She snaps her fingers.

STRiFE: But The Happy Few? They’re warriors. And victory is always a possible outcome when you place a warrior in the ring, odds be damned.

There’s a small pause before she continues on.

STRiFE: OMI and SORA? I’ve got faith in them. They’re going to give those women hell. And no matter what happens, they’re going to bring honor to Kadō.

She nods her head.

STRiFE: See? Brief.

STRiFE stands up and folds the chair. SERO says something to her in Japanese.

STRiFE: Well, it’s time to let everyone get back to work.

She smirks as the camera begins to fade out.

Match Six: J-ROK Power Ballad Championships Match; 24時 Death Match; No Time Limit
Dodo-A-Gogo Vs. The Happy Few

The ring is surrounded by ladders as both teams stare at each other viciously. There's a lot on the line tonight. Not only the J-Rok Power Ballad Championship but the team's Pride as well.

The rules for this is one are quite simple. It's a ladder match! First the teams have to climb onto a platform using a ladder to reach it. From there, they have only one ladder to reach the Power Ballad Championship. The first wrestler to grab the Power Ballad Championship will become victorius and wins the championship for their team.

Psycho KGB: "(Submissions won't win this match.)"

SORA rolls to the outside recovering from the facebuster. ANNA DANIELS WITH A SHINING WIZARD TAKES SORA DOWN! Slides into the ring and forces OMI to break the armbar hold. Omi quickly stands up and a collar-elbow-tie up is locked. OMI rapidly changes it into a HEADLOCK! Anna Daniels screams as OMI applies more pressure on her head. Anna Daniels tries to take OMI to the ropes in the hopes of releasing some pressure. BUT NO! HEADLOCK TAKEDOWN! OMI APPLIES PRESSURE.. LISA SELDON WITH A KNEE STRIKE ONTO OMI! OMI PROBABLY IS COUNTING STARS RIGHT NOW!!

SORA sends a ladder into the ring and slides into it. But Lisa Seldon saw her coming and kicks her several times in the back. Lifts her up signals THE EVIL DEAD! A Fisherman's Driver! THE EVIL DEAD CONNECTS AND SORA LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF LADDER! ANNA DANIELS SETS THE LADDER UP! They want to go onto the above platform! They aren't playing around and want to win the belts!

SHE GOES FOR LISA SELDON! KICK! NO! LISA SELDON GRABS HER LEG! DRAGON SCREW! OMI IS SETTING UP THE LADDER ON THE UPPER PLATFORM! Lisa Seldon still holds SORA's leg and stomps her knee! Anna Daniels realizes OMI is climbing the ladder on the above platform. ANNA DANIELS CLIMBS THE LADDER FAST WITH AMAZING ATHLETICISM! OMI Drops from the ladder on the upper platform, as she realizes Anna Daniels is coming.

Anna Daniels is on the platform! Good Job! But now she as to deal with OMI! WHO MEETS HER WITH SEVERAL KICKS! On the ring, Lisa Seldon lifts SORA up! AND CONNECTS THE EVIL DEAD 2!!!

IS SCREAMING LIKE A CRAZY WOULD! OMI turns towards her! ANNA TO THE INFINITE POWER!!! INTO A IMPLANT DDT ON THE STEEL PLATFORM! OH MY GOD! T

ANNA'S RIGHT FOOT SEEMS TO BE HURT REALLY BADLY! THE LADDER FELL OVER HER FEET! SORA CAN'T BELIEVE IT AS WELL!

MUSHI:: "(HOW WILL THEY CLIMB AND RETRIEVE THE TITLE SO HIGH?!)"

SORA leaves the ring and climbs to the platform that is currently above the ring and checks with her partner OMI. Everyone is fallen and seems unconcious. SORA tries to wake OMI up... As OMI seems to start reacting she points towards Lisa Sendon. A GROGGY LISA RUNS TOWARDS SORA! SORA LIFTS LISA! TIMEBOMB! TIMEBOMB IN THE STEEL PLATFORM!!!

LISA'S OUT! SORA SETS UP THE LADDER OVER THE PLATFORM AND CLIMBS IT TO THE TOP! SHE CAN'T REACH THE TITLE! IS THIS MATCH EVER GOING TO END?! SORA screams for OMI to climb. OMI is climbing the ladder slowly and gets on top of SORA! SORA with all her balance lifts OMI up! OMI's fingers touch the belt! But isn't enough! SORA gets on the tip of her toes. OMI CAN'T REACH IT!

WHAT?!?! ANNA DANIELS RUNS THE LADDER UP! SHE USES SORA AND OMI LIKE THEY WERE LADDER STEPS! SHE JUMPS AND GRABS THE TITLE! KNOCKING HAPPY FEW TEAM AND THE LADDER DOWN!

ANNA DANIELS IS GIVING HER BEST TO RETRIEVE THE TITLES! ANNA DANIELS RETRIEVES ONE TITLE!!! ANNA DANIELS LOOKS UNDERNEATH HER! IT'S A BIG FALL!!! ANNA DANIELS WILL TAKE A BIG FALL IF SHE RETRIEVES THE TITLE11 OH MY GOOOODDDD! SHE FALLS OVER THE FALLEN LADDER, BUT SHE'S STILL GRABBING THE TITLE! HOLDING FIRMLY ONTO IT!

Fumio Daemura: "(Your winners of this match and NEW J-ROK Power Ballad Champions... Anna Daniels, Lisa Seldon... Dodo-A-Gogo!)"

A man in a hazmat suit like earlier comes out to give them the tag team titles. They celebrate, bruised and beaten in the ring as Fukushima cheers on her team mates and celebrates 6 feet away from them. Because Death Startling knows to set a good example with social distancing.

Match Seven: XHF Women's Championship Match; Doraemon Death Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Bodhi Vs. Hanako Takeuchi(C.)

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is scheduled to be a Doraemon Death match scheduled for one fall and is for the XHF Women’s championship! Featuring the challenger...Bodhi!)"

“Husbands” by Savages begins playing as Bodhi walks out from the back. This time, she ignores the empty arena, and heads directly to the ring. She rolls into the ring and runs to the corner to get to the second turnbuckle. She gets down and leans in the corner to await her opponent.

MUSHI: "(Bodhi might be tired still from her IJWF tag team victory. She should be careful here and try to conserve her energies.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Did we watch the same tag team match? Bodhi came out of the tag team match like a shiny new nickel. It was Kat-Oni that was really roughed up during the match.)"

MUSHI: "(Right. Well, it’s still her second match of the night and so she should conserve as much as she can.)"

Psycho KGB: "(That’s just common sense.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And her opponent, the XHF Women’s champion...Hanako Takeuchi!)"

“Handsome and Gretel” by Babes In Toyland begins playing as Hanako Takeuchi appears on the ring entrance stage with a black rose in her mouth. She heads down to the ring, giving sideways glances to the empty arena as she does so. She rolls into the ring and tosses the black rose at Bodhi. It falls short, landing in the center of the ring.

Psycho KGB: "(You see how Hanako is decked out? Black Rose Ultra! This match is going to get down and dirty!)"

MUSHI: "(Hanako should be careful in this match too since the last I’ve heard, her ribs weren’t exactly fully healed.)"

Psycho KGB: "(That makes it all the more exciting.)"

Stage hands bring out the Doraemon dolls. They set some of them inside the ring and the rest around the ring. Each doll stands three feet tall and is made up of paper mache.



MUSHI: "(What are all of these things?)"

Psycho KGB: "(They are the Doraemon dolls from the Doraemon series. They’re filled with goodies and some traps. That’s the surprise part of this match!)"

MUSHI: "(I wonder what could be inside of these things?)"

Psycho KGB: "(We’ll just have to wait and see. We won’t have to wait for long. Look!)"

Bodhi picks up one of the Doraemon dolls and rips it in half to spill Nobita action figures all over the mat. She picks up one of them curiously as the bell sounds to start the match. When Hanako begins to get nearby, Bodhi shrugs and chucks the action figure at her. Hanako dodges this one, but catches the next doll upside the head.

MUSHI: "(What dolls are those?)"

Psycho KGB: "(That is Nobita! The person that the Doraemon was sent back in time to help! Didn’t you watch the show? It’s very popular.)"

MUSHI: "(I guess not.)"

Hanako picks up the doll that she had been hit with and throws it back at Bodhi, who dodges out of the way as she throws another doll back at Hanako. What follows next is like a snowball fight, but with six inch action figures as they are being thrown across the ring from one to the other with several hits being scored on either side. Hanako eventually pulls up another Doraemon doll up to use as a shield. Bodhi runs across the ring, drilling the paper mache doll, and sending it into Hanako’s face.

The Doraemon doll bursts open, spilling thumbtacks everywhere that Hanako falls upon with an outburst of pain.

MUSHI: "(Ouch! That one was trapped I take it.)"

Psycho KGB: "(You would be correct.)"

Hanako Takeuchi stands up, thumb tacks stuck in her back and legs. She ignores them and the thin trickles of blood. She hits a spinning backfist, grabbing Bodhi by the shoulders, and hitting several knee strikes to the midsection before wrapping her up into a front facelock and ddting Bodhi onto the thumbtacks!

Bodhi rolls away with a yelp of pain, thumbtacks in her forehead and shoulders. She rolls up to a squat, plucking thumbtacks out and tossing them from the ring. Hanako shakes her head with a crazed smile.

Hanako hits a right kick, switches to a left push kick, to send Bodhi backwards a few steps. She then jumps into the air for the jumping switch push kick, but Bodhi plucks her out of the air with a jumping spear! They both land upon another Doraemon doll which explodes in a fiery fury! Bodhi and Hanako are tossed in different directions from one another, Hanako rolling out of the ring from the momentum of the blast.

MUSHI: "(Whoa! That one was full of land mines!)"

Psycho KGB: "(You never know what you might find in these dolls.)"

Bodhi gets to her feet, plucking out new thumbtacks as she had landed on them. Hanako sits up, finding another Doraemon doll next to her. She opens it up, but it is not seen what she pulls out of the insides.

Bodhi backs up to the ropes, uses them as a slingshot to add momentum as she rushes across the ring, dives through the ropes, and is beamed in the side of the head with a pair of brass knuckles! Bodhi lands on the padded concrete floor in a heap.

Hanako tosses the brass knuckles into the empty seats, rolling into the ring, and climbing up to the top rope. She points down at the stunned Bodhi and leaps into the air! She misses a Phoenix splash as Bodhi rolls out of the way at the last moment!

MUSHI: "(Holy cow! Did you see that? How did Bodhi pull that off!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Luck?)"

Bodhi gets to her feet, blood trickling from a gash in the side of her head onto her neck and shoulder. She picks up a Doraemon doll and smashes it onto the rising Hanako’s head where it is stuck! Bodhi rolls into the ring as Hanako screams, crickets streaming out of the hole in the Doraemon. Hanako gets the Doraemon off of her head, crickets going everywhere as she does so. She slaps at herself to get the bugs off of her, not noticing when Bodhi hits a baseball slide dropkick from in the ring to the outside.

MUSHI: "(Crickets inside of a Doraemon doll? What the heck?)"

Psycho KGB: "(It’s vindictive as most women don’t like bugs.)"

Bodhi rolls into the ring and picks up another Doraemon doll, ripping it in half, legos spilling out onto the mat. Hanako picks up one on the other side of the ring and tears it in half. Out drops a sword.

MUSHI: "(A sword? What the heck?)"

Hanako grabs the sword and rolls into the ring. Bodhi’s eyes go wide as she picks up handfuls of legos to throw them at Hanako.

MUSHI: "(Bodhi is going to have a bad time here.)"

Psycho KGB: "(I wonder if Bodhi can find her own sword?)"

Bodhi grabs another Doraemon and rips it open to find DVDs and CDs for Doraemon the movies and series. She grabs a movie and uses it to try to block a slash from Hanako. The sword cleaves right through the DVD and cuts into Bodhi’s sports bra, nearly cutting it open. Bodhi backs away, blood flying from a shallow cut between her breasts.

Bodhi grabs another Doraemon, Hanako slashes with the sword again. This time she slashes open the Doraemon doll and catches a fireball full in the face! Hanako backs away with the sword in one hand and clutching at her face.

MUSHI: "(A Doraemon with a fireball locked inside? That’s insane!)"

Psycho KGB: "(That’s the way that it’s supposed to be. Insane!)"

Bodhi grabs the last Doraemon inside the ring as Hanako recovers herself. Bodhi shoves her hand inside the Doraemon’s butt and brings the doll to bear as Hanako slashes again. The Doraemon comes apart to reveal a second sword that Bodhi presses back against Hanako’s blade.

MUSHI: "(Now we have a sword fight! Is that even legal?)"

Psycho KGB: "(Would they have even put the swords in the dolls if they didn’t want this to happen?)"

The two clash with their swords back and forth in the middle of the ring, Hanako giving ground until her back is to the ropes. She rolls out of the way of an overhead slash, Bodhi brings the sword down, cutting through the top rope! Bodhi backs away in shock, quickly recovering herself. She goes to slash at Hanako again, but catches a red mist to the eyes. Hanako slashes with the sword again, knocking Bodhi’s sword to the ground outside of the ring.

Hanako slashes from the side, but Bodhi ducks under the blade and dives over the middle rope to the outside of the ring. She grabs the sword and brings it up as Hanako does a leaping overhead slash. The swords connect with a loud clang that echoes throughout the empty arena. Bodhi turns, sending Hanako to the floor where she lands on her feet. Bodhi turns and thrusts with her blade. Hanako jumps back, but the last inch of the blade pierces her in the side.

MUSHI: "(See? This is the kind of thing I was worried about.)"

Bodhi pulls the blade out with a spray of blood from the wound. Hanako lets out a scream and slashes with her sword like a maniac that Bodhi parries over and over again.

MUSHI: "(When is this going to get back to a wrestling match?)"

Psycho KGB: "(I have no idea and I’m so excited!)"

Hanako spins, catching Bodhi in the side of the head with the flat of the sword hard enough that Bodhi drops the sword. Hanako drops her sword and grabs Bodhi, rolling her into the ring. She follows, climbing to the top rope. She leaps into the air with a moonsault double foot stomp to the ribcage.

MUSHI: "(Over the Moon! This could be all over!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Such a shame they dropped the swords!)"

Hanako goes for the pinfall!

One
Two
Three!

Fumio Daemura: "(Winner of the match via pinfall and STILL XHF Women’s champion...Hanako Takeuchi!)"

Hanako rolls off of Bodhi, her hand going to her still bleeding side. The ref motions for medics to come down to the ring to check out both participants and help them to the back.

Let there be life.

The former Goddess of Sakura Champion sits in a metal chair. The tiny warrior’s intensity is through the roof, per usual. STRiFE cracks her knuckles and tilts her head towards the camera.

STRiFE: Hey, Naoki? I’ve got a question for you.

A second’s pause.

STRiFE: Do you think God hates you?

More seconds pass.

STRiFE: I mean, he must, right? Why else would he see it fit to put you in a championship match against me?

She cracks her neck before she carries on.

STRiFE: I know what you’re going to say, Naoki. You’re going to say that this unification match is a blessing. You’re going to say that this match is an indication that you are favored and loved. You’re going to say that this is your chance to reach for the sky and become an even bigger star, right? That’s always what you “I’m going to fight with all of my heart” types always say.

A shake of the head.

STRiFE: There’s just one problem with that line of thinking―me.

She lets out a grunt.

STRiFE: Let me inform you of something. I don’t care who you run with. I don’t care about your ambitions. I don’t care about your heart. I don’t care about how talented you are. I don’t care if you were the first and last SKS Heavyweight Champion. The only thing I care about is crushing you. All that ambition? All that courage? All that heart? It will all be meaningless when you’re writhing on the mat, gasping for a tiny trickle of air.

A laugh escapes her.

STRiFE: You know, there weren’t a lot of people in SSS that could get the better of me. Why? Because I train like a machine. Because I prepare my body and my mind for moments just like this. I live for the big fight. I thrive under pressure. And I don’t think that you can really say the same, Naoki.

Silence seeps in.

STRiFE: I want nothing more than to become the champion. I want nothing more than to show my dominance to all these newcomers. But truthfully? This is more than a mere unification match. This match will determine which group will be the standard-bearer going forward. And guess what, Naoki? I don’t plan on letting my team down. No, no, no. The Happy Few? They are some of the most gifted wrestlers that this company has ever seen. Kimiko Uehara? She’s got potential. And if all of Kadō is going to blossom, then I must be successful tonight.

A head nod.

STRiFE: I won’t let my team down. I will beat you, Naoki. It doesn’t matter if we are on the ground, in a plane, on a train, or in the air. You. Will. Fall.

Fade to black.

Main Event: SKS Heavyweight Championship & SSS Goddess of Sakura Championship Unification Match; Kimi no Machi Made Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Naoki Ojima Vs. STRiFE

Psycho KGB: “(We have one hell of a match in store for you folks here in just a few moments. It’ll be a unification match between the SKS Heavyweight Champion and the SSS Goddess of Sakura Champion.)”

MUSHI: “(A match of two of the most dominant wrestlers in their respective promotions, a match in which they’ll battle on the back of a semi truck in a fight for their life, their pride and the biggest prize this side of the XHF Network, the J-ROK Visual Kei Championship!)”

Psycho KGB: “(Without further adieu we’ll send it out to Daemura-San who’s riding in the passenger seat of the truck for ring introductions.)”

We cut from the empty arena and the sight of the commentators at their table, to a semi truck with a large flatbed attached to it. There’s a ring fastened to the flatbed, to make sure it doesn’t go anywhere as the two wrestlers make their ways out to the ring.

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a Kimi no Machi Made Match, in this match both competitors will fight on the back of this semi truck. There are no rules other than there must be a winner! To win this match you must pin, submit or knock out your opponent. Now, introducing first, in the blue corner, he is standing in at 6’0 and weighs in at 218 Pounds, coming from Tokyo, Japan he is the SKS Heavyweight Champion… Naoki Ojima!)”

Naoki climbs onto the back of the semi and gets into the ring.

Fumio Daemura: “(And his opponent, in the red corner, standing in at 5’4 and weighing in at 122 pounds, coming from Kyoto, Japan, she is the SSS Goddess of Sakura Champion… STRiFE!)”

STRiFE gets into the ring as well. Fumio gets down and hops into the passenger seat of the truck before it starts to roll out and the bell rings.

At first everyone is a bit jarred as the truck first starts, everyone jerks towards the back of the truck. They catch their balance as they stay near the ropes for a brief moment. They stay low and lock up in an amature wrestling style, keeping things relatively grounded.

Can’t say i blame either of them here, since one jump can make you go from the center of the ring to almost towards the back of it. They jockey for position, with Ojima using his height to help him, he trips up STRiFE and goes for an early pin attempt. A one count for it, but he keeps on the offence, locking in a kimura lock onto STRiFE.

STRiFE gets out after a well placed punch. Ojima steps back before locking up again, trying to keep the offensive and pressure on the Goddess of Sakura Champion. They do some mma like transitions while on the ground, trying to get an advantage from one another. STRiFE manages to get a triangle choke on Naoki. It stays locked in for a moment before he manages to slip out of the ring and get out of it.

STRiFE follows him out of the ring and now onto the bed of the truck. Not much is stopping them from falling out of the truck either, just a slight elevation. Naoki gives STRiFE a big boot as she gets out of the ring, causing her to fall back into the apron. He charges her and grabs her by the waist, attempting a suplex of some kind. STRiFE stops it and drives Ojima into the side of the flatbed of the truck. She grabs him again and irish whips him into the corner post.

Not letting her eyes off of him, STRiFE walks towards Ojima and starts shoving her foot into his face. He catches one and hits her with a dragon screw leg whip. Ojima rolls into the ring and waits for his opponent to get back in now.

STRiFE follows suit as they both lay in some strikes towards one another. Back and forth they go, each strike becoming even harder and stiffer than the last one. By the end of the exchange we can see their chests are a browish purple mess. A quick kick combo drops STRiFE down to a knee, Ojima hits her with a running knee strike before going for a pin attempt.

MUSHI: “(A brutal knee strike there, but not the full effect his more dangerous wrist locked variation has.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Only a two count from the strike as well!)”

Ojima lifts up STRiFE and goes for a German Suplex now, STRiFE makes a struggle and stops it, she slips out and hits him with a pele kick. STRiFE gets up quickly before hitting him with a penalty kick to the chest. She goes for a quick pin attempt.

One!

Two!

Thr-

No he kicks out of the pin attempt. They trade strikes and slams some more before Ojima throws STRiFE out of the ring. Noticing the truck has stopped at a red light, he dives out of the ring with a suicide dive, casuing them both to crash and burn.

STRiFE gets up and heads towards the front of the truck now. Ojima charges her, but is thrown up and over her head, he grabs hold of the top of the semi truck where he climbs up on top of it. He jumps off and goes for his patent STOMP! Double foot stomp move. STRiFE catches him into a powerbomb position and powerbombs him into the back of the semi. He grabs the top of it and pushes STRiFE back before leaping off into a crossbody like move.

Ojima and STRiFE continue fighting towards the front before STRiFE hits him with a roundhouse kick, knocking him back. He falls and hangs off the edge of the truck, hanging onto side of the truck now. He opens the door to the truck where he slides into the seats. STRiFE follows him and they start slapping and hitting each other in there, STRiFE even headbutting him. He grabs her head and smashes it into the dashboard before grabbing a bottle and smashing it across her back. He gets up and climbs up through the sunroof to the top again. STRiFE follows him soon after and they start brawling up on top of the semi.

A left from Naoki almost sends STRiFE off and to her doom. She comes back and headbutts him, causing him to fall back and almost fall too. She grabs him though and headbutts him even more, causing both to bleed from the head. She pushes Ojima off and onto the flatbed of the truck now.

They eventually get back into the ring. STRiFE goes for a pin attempt and gets a two count again. She picks him up and goes for a red reign wrist lock slap. He dodges and grabs her other wrist, hitting her with a snap straight jacket suplex before rolling over and attempting to hit her with the kamigoye he calls TANK!

STRiFE moves her head out of the way and draws Ojima closer, hitting him with a headbutt again to the gut. She flips him over with a wrist lock clutch suplex. She gets him locked in an anaconda choke.

Psycho KGB: “(Wicked Sister!)”

MUSHI: “(And that’s all she wrote folks.)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match and inaugural J-ROK Visual Kei Champion… STRiFE!)”

A masked man pops out of the semi window to hand her the title. STRiFE climbs up to the top of the truck holding it up high as it does donuts and we cut back to the commentators.

Psycho KGB: “(What a great match folks, We got our first ever Visual Kei Champion crowned and so many other champions crowned tonight. STRiFE has taken another title and ended another dominant reign.)”

MUSHI: “(Something she’s done countless times in SSS before. But that folks is all we have time for. Tune in next month for aftermath to tonights event and… hold on.)”

Psycho KGB: “(What? What is it?)”

MUSHI: “(Folks, do we have something big for next month. The FLOTUS is going to be coming to J-ROK next month! We’re still not sure what for, but it’s going to be a sight to see as President Kurtis D. Kanyon’s wife is coming! Not only that, but i’ve been informed that due to the actions of SKY Force, they’ll be put into a best of 5 series to earn their shots at the Power Ballade Championships!)”

Psycho KGB: “(What news! Well folks tune in next week for that and much more! For now, I'm Psycho KGB, this is MUSHI and we thank you for jamming out to J-ROK with us tonight!)”
