Donzig: ‘Telling myself I won't go there
Oh, but I know that I won't care
Tryna wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt…’
The voice sang slowly, and Donzig looked out on the lights of Dallas. His face reflected in the glass of the window. He looked away as cars moved past him, and the car he was in turned down another street.
He looked down at the mask cradled in his lap, his fingers drifting across it.
Donzig: ‘There's darkness in the distance
From the way that I've been livin'
But I know I can't resist it’
His fingers tightened, and he looked back through the window with a slight frown. And the arena loomed before them, the big SUV turning down the road. And it moved closer, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he saw the three black figures standing in the shadow of the building.
Donzig: ‘Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight.’
The SUV stopped, and Donzig sighed as he lifted the mask. And the door opened, he slid across the leather seat to step out as he tugged it into place. A nod to the driver, who shut the door as the hulking figures of the Oblivion Death Squad stepped closer. The WUK Tag Team Championships across their shoulders.
Sinclair bowed her head, and Donzig stared at them before he looked at the arena.
He hissed.
Donzig: He is come to open; The purple testament of bleeding war.
He swept towards the dock doors, his coat snapping and swirling behind him as his hand flickered and twisted agitatedly at his side. His minions fell into step behind him.
Tucker: Welcome to WUK Legacy, live from Dallas, Texas! And we have a huge show tonight as we have the opening rounds of the North American Cup Tournament! And we are on the road to Revolution!
Torchwood: We have major news heading into tonight as the WUK was informed earlier today that due to a training accident Eron Hunter has had to pull out of this tournament!
As such, the Empire will advance to face the winner of Hardcore City Shinjuku and Bad to the Bone at Revolution!
Tucker: That is huge news here in Dallas, Sir Arthur!
Fulton: Listen we are all here for one reason, and we all know it! Tonight, two of the biggest names in the entire XHF go to war in Dallas Street Fight! And I am talking about Bloodied Fox and Donzig!
I am talking about Donzig-gun vs. the Nightbreed!
Tucker: This is not going to be one for the faint of heart!
The fans boo and Tony Blood appears on the ramp pushing Sebastion Blood down the ramp on the wheelchair. Frank Wormwood follows behind them, tugging at his suit as he walks a few steps behind. A pair of security guards completes the group, and they ignore the fans as they head for ringside.
Salazar: Please, welcome the owner and CEO of Wrestle:UK, Sebastian Blood!
The fans are not happy.
The guards struggle along with Tony to help the limping Blood into the ring, and he leans hard on his cane as he waits for them to muscle his chair inside. He reclaims his seat, cursing at his nephew before he calls for the mic.
Mr. Blood: On August 21st, there will be a Night of Champions! Night of Champions: Xtraction!
The fans cheer, and Blood nods.
Mr. Blood: After speaking with the Championship Committee, I have decided that the WUK Heavyweight Championship will be on the line! With Kasper Van Zant against Lord Dominicus, and facing them will be the longest reigning WUK World Heavyweight Champion, the most decorated Champion in WUK History!
THE HIGH ROLLER WESLEY CRANE!
Fulton: Yes! Return of the FOREVER CHAMP!
Torchwood: This is huge news!
The fans explode, and Blood nods. Tony Blood seems ecstatic, and Wormwood just rolls his eyes as Blood lifts the mic.
Dallas is on it’s feet as a blast of flames, and the dying lights means only one thing. And Donzig sweeps from the back, his face hidden behind his mask as he stomps back and forth across the top of the ramp. He stares across the fans, nodding slowly before his gaze settles on the ring where Tony Blood is trying to back up his uncle.
Wormwood looks a little sick, and the security guards step forward only to jerk backwards as Donzig’s eyes settle on them. He lifts a mic, and a hand waves.
Donzig: How many times do I need to teach you this lesson, Old Man. Wesley Crane? Dominicus? Kasper fucking Van Zant? Not the ace of this company, not the man who keeps the lot of you relevant! Not the man who was robbed by that piece of shit, Bloodied Fox!
Tucker: Donzig is livid!
Torchwood: Isn’t he always?
Donzig steps closer, and his hand lifts to point.
Donzig: You son of a bitch–
Mr. Blood: Oh, you decided to be here this week! We are so honored, we are all over ourselves that you have graced us with your presence.
Donzig lifted his head, and he waved a hand dismissively.
Donzig: As you should, it is not every day you stand in the presence of the New God of Extreme!
The fans cheered.
Fulton: Blood has forgotten that sarcasm is lost on Donzig.
Wormwood is coughing into his sleeve, and the Bloods look confused. But Mr. Blood recovers, and shakes his head.
Mr. Blood: I figured you’d be busy with your one man invasion of HKW!
Donzig: No one commands the Scourge, I go where I will! And I will walk out of Manchester covered in the blood of Marty Donovan and the HKW belt around my waist!
But this is about the WUK World Heavyweight Title.
Blood nodded, and he leaned back with a smirk.
Mr. Blood: As it so happens, the Championship Committee has decided you will have a match for a chance to win the WUK World Heavyweight Championship at the biggest show of the year!
And in fact, your opponent demanded that match!
Donzig hissed.
Donzig: They dare? They dare to call down my wrath? Who is this fucking fool? Who has signed their own death warrant!
Blood leaned forward, and he flashed an evil grin.
Mr. Blood: You know him very well, Donzig. In fact, you might say he is your ‘old friend’.
The fans cheer, and Donzig stares.
Fulton: No! No way!
Mr. Blood: At Revolution from Washington DC, it will be Donzig vs. Bloodied Fox! And the winner will face the WUK Heavyweight Champion at Battle of Britain III!
Dallas is on its feet, and Blood laughs as Donzig stands motionless. Then Blood shrugs, laughing with Tony before he speaks again.
Mr. Blood: And Fox says you can pick the stipulation.
Donzig lifts his head, and he nods slowly before he growls into the mic.
Donzig:
Tell you the Dauphin I am coming on,
To venge me as I may and to put forth
My rightful hand in a well-hallow'd cause.
So get you hence in peace; and tell the Dauphin
His jest will savour but of shallow wit,
When thousands weep more than did laugh at it.
The mic was flipped into the crowd, and Donzig stalked into the back. And Blood stared after him as Wormwood and Tony look confused.
Tucker: What the fuck?
Torchwood: Henry V, Scene II.
Fulton: I am glad you’re here.
Match: Tilted Cartridges vs. KVZ/Lady Evil
Salazar: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a North American Cup Match! Entering first weighing in at 457 pounds, they are the team of Cheez and Wellington Dunne! This is Tilted Catridges!
The fans cheer as a blast of sparks, and a pop of pyros fills the air. And then through the smoke comes Dunne carrying Cheez on his shoulders. The smaller man flinging hats and t-shirts into the cheering fans. They approach the ring, and Cheez jumps off onto the apron before coming between the ropes.
Dunne climbs the stairs, walking back and forth.
Fulton: It’s nice of Dunne to come and carry some dead weight!
Tucker: Would you stop!
Torchwood: Cheez one of the most underrated competitors in WUK!
Salazar: And their opponents weighing in at 400 pounds! They are Lady Evil, and the reigning WUK Heavyweight Champion Kasper Van Zant!
The fans cheer as the guitar rift of 'Parsonz Curse' by Royal Thunder builds up as a shower of sparks fall across the entrance ramp, the camera follows a hooded Kasper Van Zant from her locker room, the WUK WorldHeavyweight title around her shoulders.
Behind her follows Lady Evil, swaying to the music before she high fives the fans. Her eyes narrowed on KVZ as the pair head for the ring.
'I'm not gonna let it burn!
I'm not gonna let you see!
Fear is what you want!
Coming over me!'
She blows past the camera man who follows her through the shower of sparks, Kasper bounces under the raining sparks bringing the title from her shoulder as she takes off down the ramp as fireworks launch staggering her path down the ramp before she dives under the bottom rope sliding into the center holding a rebel scum smirk the title held above her head. Jumping back to her feet she pulls the hoodie off and tosses it to someone in the front, she stands in her corner tracing the facing of the title seductively...waiting…
Lady Evil climbs the ringpost, staring out across the fans before she stares down at the Tilted Cartridges. Then they leapt down, and the pair pace back and forth.
Fulton: I don’t know how Lady Evil can trust KVZ!
Tucker: KVZ could be injured from her war with Donzig last legacy.
Kasper looks to start against Dunne, and the ref calls for the bell. The fans cheer as they start trading blows, and Dunne quickly tags control before he snaps Kasper at the ropes! The Champion comes off the ropes, ducking under a clothesline before she came off the ropes once more!
SPEAR!
Torchwood: Nice counter from the champ!
Tucker: Dunne is already getting up!
Dunne holds his ribs, nodding before the pair lock up! They battle back and forth, and then Kasper fires off a few quick knees into the wounded ribs! The fans cheer her on, and then she rolls behind Dunne! Going for the suplex, but Dunne blocks before he rolls around behind her.
GERMAN SUPLEX!
The fans cheer, and the Glasgow Bull makes the tag to Cheez!
Fulton: Kasper in trouble!
Torchwood: Dunne’s size causing trouble in the early going!
Cheez climbs the ringpost, and leaps off with the CHEDDAHEADA!
But Kasper rolls out of the way, Cheez staggers to his feet but KVZ is on him! SIDE BELLY TO BELLY!
Tucker: Cheez rocked!
The fans are cheering as Cheez stumbles to his feet! JAWCLACKER!
Torchwood: Kasper Van Zant trying to put this one away before Cheez can tag Dunne back into the match!
Kasper stumbles a step, and frowns at her knee before she turns to stare at Cheez. But then Lady Evil reaches across the ropes to tag her shoulder! Kasper blinks, eyes widening before the ref motions the tag.
Fulton: Kasper aggravated that her showboating has been cut short!
Tucker: What is your problem?
Lady Evil comes off the ropes with a diving crossbody, and Cheez is down! She rolls to her feet, grinning behind her mask before she grabs Cheez to pull his shirt upwards before she starts battering punches at his head. The fans are not happy, and KVZ doesn’t seem pleased before she yanks him around.
Cheez is fired at the ropes, and SUNSET FLIP!
1…
…..2….
……KICKOUT!
Torchwood: Lady Evil is furious!
She yells at the ref, glaring angrily as she slaps her hand against her palm. The fans are booing, and Cheez heads for the corner. He reaches for Dunne, but Evil yanks him backwards with a smirk before she yanks him upwards.
BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Fulton: Lady Evil showing no mercy to Cheez!
Tucker: Dunne looks livid!
The fans are cheering for Cheez, and he starts to rise before Lady Evil leaps onto the ropes!
WREATH OF BARBS!
She grins, coming to her feet as she poses for the fans. They boo, and she shrugs before planting a boot on Cheez’s chest.
1….
…..2….
……KICKOUT!
The fans explode, and Lady Evil fumes before she grabs the referee. She shakes him, pulling at his shirt as she shoves him towards the corner. Her eyes wild, as she curses and pushes him again before Kasper pushes at her.
The two exchange words, and meanwhile Cheez is crawling across the mat!
TAG!
Dunne comes inside, and flies across the ring with a full head of steam! Lady Evil is leveled with a clothesline, and he drives a stiff elbow into the face of Kasper! The Champion drops from the corner, and then Dunne yanks Lady Evil upwards T-BONE SUPLEX!
Tucker: Lady Evil took her eyes off the prize, and now she is paying the price!
Torchwood: Dunne is taking out his frustration on Lady Evil!
The fans are going wild as Dunne glares at Lady Evil who stumbles to her feet, shaking her masked head before she turns only to be leveled with a spear! The fans go wild, and Dunne makes the tag to Cheez!
She is lifted onto Dunne’s shoulders, and Cheez comes off the ringpost with the Codebreaker!
NEW GAME!
Fulton: This is Kasper’s fault! As always!
The fans are going crazy as Cheez makes the cover, rolling up Lady Evil!
1…
…2…
……Kasper comes across the ring, but is tackled by Dunne!
…..THREE!
The bell rings, and Dallas is going wild!
Salazar: Your winners and advancing to the next round, TILTED CARTRIDGES!
Dunne rises, and Kasper fist bumps him with a nod before she helps Cheez to his feet. And Lady Evil rolls from the ring, holding her ribs as she glares angrily at the WUK Champion. She shakes her head, clearly fuming as Kasper stares back at her. Then she lifts the arms of Dunne and Cheez!
Tucker: A display of sportsmanship from the champion!
Fulton: Lady Evil is not going to forget this!
