(The Dark Stars are in the locker room and are finished warming up when Warren W. Webber the Third enters with Terminatrix standing next to him. Commandrix nods and signals for Terminatrix to leave and the door closes as she looks at Warren all business.)
Commandrix: "So Warren. What do you ask of us."
Webber III:: "Tonight you're facing off against Salt and Pepper and you had plenty to say about them."
Commandrix: "First of all Warren they are a very tough and cunning team made up of two of two of the toughest women who make up Sky Force. However, they are facing off against The Dark Stars one of the toughest and well regarded and intelligent teams in Wrestle: UK."
Niko: "Now don't think we are going to take Salt and Pepper lightly because we don't do that Warren and we never do. We handle our business The Dark Star way and that's all business and no mercy to anyone and that includes Salt and Pepper."
Webber III:: "You know Salt and Pepper is a female tag team."
Kono: "Female or male or even intergender tag team matches doesn't matter to us Warren. You see we shall take all comers on no matter how tough they are. We don't care how tall or how small they are as long as they step into the ring with us as ordered by Mr. Torchwood."
Webber III:: "You know they also cheat to win on occasions."
Niko: "Yeah we know that Warren and here's a warning to Salt and Pepper and hopefully they take it to heart. They better not try to cheat or we shall make sure our wrath comes down truly hard on them and we mean really hard on them."
Kono: "There shall be no mercy waiting for them if they even try to cheat us out of a victory. You see we deal our real hard and real violent punishment if we are cheated in any way and tonight that is going to be the case if Salt and Pepper tries to cheat us out of a victory."
Webber III:: "You also know this is a top contenders match for a tag team championship shot.)
Niko: "Since it is a top contenders match that means we'll be more than ready to face Salt and Pepper. Tonight we shall be one step closer to regaining what we never truly lost and that is our Wrestle: UK Tag Team Championships."
Kono: "That's right brother gladiator. Tonight is just one more stop towards getting the opportunity to regaining our Wrestle: UK Tag Team Championships from the current unworthy champions. Yeah I know they defeated us the last time but this time it's going to be way different and when the bell rings to end the match. You are going to see The Dark Stars contending for the Wrestle: UK Tag Team Championships once again and this time we plan on making sure we regain our tag team championships."
Commandrix: "Interview over. Let's get our business over with and send a warning to the current tag team champions."
Niko: "Let's do this."
Kono: "Right behind you brother gladiator."
(They all leave the locker room and Warren W. Webber III: is alone.)
Webber III:: "Whatever The Dark Stars have in mind they mean business. Back to you."
(The scene slowly fades to black.)
Frank Wormwood is in the back, looking over a tablet as he speaks with a small security crew. He gestures and points, and then blinks as the nearby door bangs open. He frowns as the High Roller’s Club comes in, and he motions back some of his boys as Warrick scowls at them. Crane steps forward, grinning before Frank sighs.
Frank Wormwood: Here we go again, like I told your assistant I am not just going to hand you a rematch against LD because he managed to beat you at your own game.
Crane’s smile remained in place, and Reese laughed into his fist.
Then they stepped aside, and a tall skinny man with a shock of dark curly hair blinked down at Frank. He lowered his phone, and he shoved it inside his jacket before he shook his head. Then he stared at Frank.
Tony Blood That’s where you’re wrong! I am Tony Blood, and Sebastian Blood is my uncle! And he doesn’t like how you are running this company, Frank!
Frank blinked.
Tony Blood But sadly, the board of directors won’t give me direct control. Someone named Godfrey has given them the idea that if my uncle is back in charge it will be a disaster.
The High Rollers all glanced at each other nervously, and Frank grunted.
Frank Wormwood: Oh, I bet she did.
Tony Blood You know who it is? I want a meeting! I demand a meeting!
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: No, I don’t think you do!
Wesley Rage: No. No, we’re good.
Reese: Definitely.
Tony Blood blinked, and then shrugged before he jabbed a finger at Frank. Frank stared up at him, and tugged at his rumpled tie.
Tony Blood And so anyhow I think Wes deserves his rematch against Lord Dominicus that is big numbers, a huge draw! In fact it is a DREAM MATCH! And we need that at New Years Brawl!
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
Frank Wormwood: I am not sure what LD’s schedule is like, there are contracts involved and….
Tony Blood We all know he only beat the longest reigning WUK World Champion because of that Gauntlet!
Frank grunted.
Tony Blood I am going to get on X, and announce it right now!
Frank Wormwood: You should announce the Glucks vs Rage & Cage too! For the titles if they keep them!
Tony Blood looked up, Reese shook his head. Cage’s hand tightened on his belt, and he looked panicked as he glanced at Rage.
Wesley Rage: Now hold on! That doesn’t seem like a good idea!
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: Not at all!
Frank gave them a nasty smile.
Frank Wormwood: Really? That is a dream match, the fans have been clamoring for that for months! Big numbers, huge buyrates! You know asses in seats.
Tony Blood A dream match?
Frank Wormwood: Sure!
Tony started typing on his phone, and the High Roller’s Club groaned. Warrick stepped forward, and Wormwood looked up at him with a shake of his head. Reese grabbed his arm, drawing him back a step before Tony Blood put his phone away.
Tony Blood Listen, you really dropped the ball on some of this Frank! I am not going to take that laying down! I know JROK is running bots on us!
Frank Wormwood: What?
Tony Blood I want to speak to Spike Kane! I need to address his actions!
Everyone stared at him, and Crane gave a nervous laugh.
Frank Wormwood: Spike? Spike Kane? Are you crazy?
Tony Blood: I want to see him immediately! And then I need to see that other one? Donzig?
Frank sputtered.
Frank Wormwood: No one demands a meeting with Donzig.
Reese: Not to mention he was buried alive in London.
Tony Blood Oh, whatever I have to go tweet about the show! I will see you backstage, Frank!
He walked off, and Frank rolled his eyes as the High Rollers smirked at him.
Match:The Dark Stars vs. Salt & Pepper
Salazar: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and ithe winner will be the number one contender to face the Tag Team Champions on January 29th at Legacy!
The fans cheered, and Frank nodded before he pointed towards the back.
Salazar: Entering the ring at this time, weighing in at 450 pounds! They are Kono and Niko! These are the DARK STARS!
The Tron shows a dying star that explodes and two spinning graphics that turn into The Dark Stars as "Sixes and Sevens" by Annihilator plays and The Dark Stars enter and come to ringside marching with purpose accompanied by The Dark Novas through lasers shooting upwards. They have intense and ominous and murderous expressions on their faces. They hold the ropes open as The Dark Novas enter the ring and are joined by Niko in the center of the ring while Kono mount the top turnbuckle and they roar as they shot their weapons up and Kono backflips off the turnbuckle into a fighting crouch as lasers shoot upwards rom the ringposts. The Dark Stars remove their futuristic gladiator armor and place their weapons in their corner as Commandrix gives final instructions the same intense and ominous and murderous looks still on their faces
The fans cheer, and Frank steps back from Commandrix.
Salazar: And their opponents weighing in at 260 pounds, they are Salt and Pepper!
Whatever joy or life that was inside tonight's audience seems to grind to a halt as the slowness of this song appears to drain the life out of the crowd as two complete nobodies appear on stage. These nobodies, a pair of women, are Maxine Salt and Pepper Hutchinson as they look at each other for a moment, fist bump each other and begin to head down the ramp way. Without acknowledging the crowd around them they reach ringside, roll under the bottom rope together and get up before facing the hardcam and lifting both fists up in the air. They even stood still for a few seconds before going to the ropes furthest away from the ring and sit on the bottom rope together as they stare up towards the stage.
The Dark Stars looked livid, and Commandrix motioned them back as Salt and Pepper entered the ring. The referee got between them, and the fans were cheering even as Salt gave Commandrix a mocking wave.
Torchwood: Bad blood between these two teams after recent events!
Fulton: Just because Commandrix is not the mastermind that Shizuku is!
Tucker: Is that what we are calling it now!
Salt looks to start against Kono, and the ref calls for the bell! Kono starts the match by battering away at Salt with hard punches that rock her backwards before he snaps her into the corner. He charges across the ring then, and catches her with a hard uppercut! Pepper yells, and Kono glares at her before he grabs Salt to drop her with a quick belly to belly!
Fulton: That is no way to treat a treasure!
Tucker: Please!
Salt starts to rise, and Kono makes the quick tag to Niko! He charges inside, and grabs Salt to deliver a quick arm drag, then another, and a third before he snaps her at the ropes. Pepper makes a blind tag, and Niko misses it as he drops Salt on the rebound before he makes the cover!
The ref shook his head, and Niko started to rise as Pepper charged across the ring! She delivered a quick dropkick, and Niko staggered back. The fans gave a mixed pop, and she dove aside to deliver another to Kono!
Then she called to rising Salt, and then delivered the DOUBLE HBK!

…..NIKO KICKED OUT!
Torchwood: Unbelievable exchange as Pepper uses her speed to change this match!
Tucker: Salt and Pepper using every ounce of guile to gain an edge over the dangerous Dark Stars!
Salt grabs Pepper, and flings her at the rising Niko! Crossbody!
Niko is down, and Pepper grabs a fistful of tights as she hauls back on him!

…..KICKOUT!
The fans cheer, and Pepper yells at the ref as Commandrix hits the mat on the outside. Pepper shakes her head, and waits for Niko to start to rise before he hits him with the running hip! She runs back to deliver another, and Niko stumbles against the ropes before Pepper hits dropkick! Then she drags him forward, tagging in Salt!
Torchwood: Salt and Pepper pouring on the offense! They can’t let Kono get a tag!
The fans are cheering Niko on, and Salt is wasting no time as she keeps battering away. Then she flings him at the ropes chest first before hitting a german on the rebound! She grins at Commandrix, and stalks after Niko!
But he rolls over, and grabs her for a quick roll up!

…..KICKOUT!
But Niko lunges, even as Salt grabs for him!
Tucker: Tag!
Kono charges inside, and delivers a brutal series of Muy Thai kicks that stagger Salt back. Then he grabs her to fling him across his shoulders!
GTS!
The fans cheer, and he runs across the ring to hammer a quick elbow into the face of Pepper that sends him sprawling to the outside! Then he runs back across the ring, tagging Niko, and then he lifts Salt over his head for the Jackhammer!
Fulton: No! No!
STARKILLER!
Torchwood: This one has to be over!

…..The referee is ripped from the ring, and leveled by a fist from Grant Van Zant! The fans boo, jeering as Grant laughs at the stunned Kono. He starts forward, pointing before he is tackled from behind to be leveled by hard punches from Joaquin Van Zant!
Tucker: What is the meaning of this!
Bull & Bird turn their attention to the rising and furious Niko, who charges at Joaquin with fists flying before he turns around to lunge at Grant! But they instead of start battering him downward before they fling him from the ring.
‘
Pepper starts to rise, looking around in shock before Grants slashes a thumb across his throat.
OF ANIMALS AND MEN!
Fulton: No! There should be fines! This is an outrage!
Security and referees run from the back, swarming the ring as Bull and Bird laugh at the mortified and angry Salt who is pulling Pepper from the ring. They mock the Dark Stars, laughing as they motion at their waists as they head up the ramp.
Torchwood: This was about sending a message! The tag team division is heating up, and the Van Zants are staking a claim!
Tucker: Unbelievable!
