The crashing sound of thunder is heard, as a mountainous landscape fades
in. It's raining heavily, as lightning flashes off in the distance. The
camera pans right as Silverchair & Vitro's "Spawn" cues up... on a cliff,
in a crouched position, is Lynxara. Soaking wet, the lynx-girl nonetheless
gazes down below her. As the music officially kicks in, Lynxara jumps from
the cliff.

Cut to Nav, assault rifle in hand as he cocks it and looks outward away
from the camera, then to Sonya Sho Robotnik, who takes a step onto a
boulder, looking behind her, then at the camera with a smirk. Cut to Oscar,
who is floating several feet from the ground, his battle aura in full
power. Then to both Ankoku and Soulstone; Deb manifests Eternity as her
husband's hands glows with blue chi.

Cut to Kefkain, as he snarls menacingly, his eyes flashing bright red. Cut
then to Samantha and Alex back-to-back one another... Samantha brandishes
her katana as Alex tugs on a glove and clenches his fist. Cut to Wolf as he
walks towards the camera, looking focused as he claws project out. Then
finally to Star Mech, who tosses his trenchcoat aside as he readies his
Crescent Shooter.

The music goes into a bass riff as "the Revenant" Shaed Bloodgrave, as
soaked as the other Avatars in the intro, walks towards the camera. Cut to
a crane shot as Shaed walks under the camera, walking away from it and
heading towards a wrestling ring surrounded by mountainous walls.
The music kicks back up as several Avatars do battle in the ring; Kefkain
and Wolf trade blows, as does Oscar and Star Mech, Samantha and Sonya, and
finally Nav and Soulstone. Stock footage of lightning separates footage
from past AAA broadcasts... Sonya's Northern Lights Suplex on Scarlet,
Wolf's AK-47 on Pat Lee, Bane's Knightsbane Shoulderbreaker on Myles
Buchanan, and Nav's Desert Eagle Moonsault on Taruchi.

Cut to the Avatars in the downpour, Star Mech hits Kefkain with the Star
Mech Stunner; Sonya drop kicks Ankoku; Lynxara shooting star presses a
prone Oscar; and Shaed Sudden Impacts Nav. Cut to more footage; Oscar
reversing Kintobor's Thunderbomb into a neckbreaker; Lord Thinker's Thinker
Delete Key hitting a blocking Ankoku; Tuxedo Chris hit by Soulstone's Holy
Explosion; Nav delivering his Bloodbath to Oscar; and finally Shaed Super
Sudden Impacting Dark Sonic.

Back to the rain-soaked ring, Samantha Big Ass Blasts Oscar as Star Mech
fires his Crescent Shooter at Kefkain. Alex Lightning Fist Strikes Shaed in
the chest, knocking him back, Ankoku fires off his Azure Dragon Storm at
Sonya and Wolf is struck by several shots from Nav's rifle. A quick
close-up of Lynxara's face flashes by as stock footage of lightning
crashes, and the music stops its hard beats and the logo fades in.

AAA

---

EXTREME

Rose Garden

Portland, OR, USA -- Earth-Prime

As the music started back up with its hard beats, the camera does its
obligatory pan across the arena and the many fans who have come to watch
the event before them.

"Hello everyone! And welcome to the premiere of AAA Extreme!" announced
Jim Ross as the camera cut to both him and Mike Tenay at the commentators' 
table. "I'm Good Ol' JR, my colleague's 'The Professor' Mike Tenay, and we are 
sold out live in the city of Portland, Oregon!"

"This is where 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka and 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper started out
their legendary careers, Jim!" Tenay stated. "But this is hardly Portland
Wrestling! This is the Author Avatar Association, and we got a great card
tonight!"

"Spawn" faded out, only to be replaced by "Fire" by Scooter.

"And here comes our special guest ring commentator," Tenay said. "And if
there's one thing this girl knows how to do, it's how to fight and
survive!"

"She's been through a lot, no question about that," agreed JR.

*BLINK!* A lavender-skinned girl clad in a light green leotard, boots,
long fingerless gloves along with a magenta belt and a blue leather
jacket suddenly teleported to the entranceway, and the audience gave her
an impressive pop.

"Clarice 'Blink' Ferguson will be joining us at ringside tonight..." JR
stated as the young mutant made her way down the aisle, greeting her fans
along the way. "... and like you said, Mike, an impressive card we have
tonight!"

"That's right, Jim..." Tenay replied. "In tag-action, Samantha Jones and
her brother, Alex Misamoto... Silhouette and Shadow... will be going up
against the husband-and-wife team of Ankoku and Soulstone!"

"Deb Lawson is fresh outta King of the Net, too..." JR pointed out. "You
know she's favoring the ankle after her grueling bout with Nav. It may be
a mistake coming back into action so soon."

"Not only that, but we have Wolf taking on Colley Dogstar from Team
Foxfire!" added Tenay. "That should no doubt be an extraordinary
match-up!"

"And Blink has just joined us..." JR said, standing up to shake Blink's
hand; Tenay did the same. "Welcome to the AAA!"

"It's good to be here, JR!" Blink said as she placed the headset on,
sitting down beside him. "I am just so pumped up! I'm ready for just
about anything and everything!!"

"Then you've come to the right place!" JR stated. "We also have the
Horde's Great Red Serpent taking on Lynxara! Yes, you heard me right...
not the Power That Is, but her feline furry counterpart, who ALSO came
back from the dead with her!"

"You've got to think if Lynxara is looking for a bit of revenge in this
match-up..." Tenay speculated. "The Horde, Dark Sonic in particular, were
responsible for her death... she just may take out her retribution on the
Great Serbowski tonight!"

"Get to the Main Event, already!" demanded Blink. "C'mon, guys!"

"Just about to, in fact..." Tenay assured her. "In a first-ever inter-company 
match-up, the AAA's own 'Revenant' Shaed Bloodgrave, with
Morrigan Aensland Bloodgrave in his corner, will go one-on-one with the
WWF's own Undertaker!!"

"Whew! Shaed's sure choosing one hell of a way to begin his AAA career,
huh, guys?" Blink remarked.

"Yes, ma'am... pay-per-view proportions on the debut of this new
broadcast..." JR paused, grabbing a hold of his headset. "... and I hear
Kevin Kelly has caught up with 'the Revenant's' wife herself! Kevin, can
you hear me?"

The Trinitron screen above the entranceway came alive, revealing Kevin
Kelly alongside the emerald-tressed Morrigan standing in the Exhibit Hall
nearby the Rose Garden.

"Hello, Jim!" Kelly said. "I'm here with the very lovely Morrigan
Aensland Bloodgrave. Tonight, Morrigan, your husband will take on the
WWF's Phenom, the Undertaker!"

"Aye, that's right, Kevin..." the succubus-turned-goddess confirmed. "For
my Darling... tonight is a very special night. His entire existence is
coming full circle, ye see..." Morrigan bowed her head, smiling slightly.
"It was only several years ago that Kenny Blackwell created 'the
Revenant...' my husband-tae-be. My Darling was loosely based off the
Undertaker himself... this is a chance for my Darling tae see if he has
what it takes tae challenge the man who helped create him... win or lose,
Kevin... his existence will finally be completed by fighting the
Undertaker tonight."

"And where is Shaed Bloodgrave right now?" asked Kelly.

"Ach, he's out right now... he's bringing someone special tae the arena,"
Morrigan assured. "Someone the Undertaker knows... and no, it's not his
brother." Her smile grew a bit bigger. "Kane isnae as cute as our guest,
I can tell ye that."

"... Well, perhaps you can answer a question for your husband... at the
Fight Scene back at the Gold Saucer, why did Shaed attack the Ladykillers?"
Kelly said.

"Why not...?" Morrigan retorted back.

"... Right... uhm... Jim, Mike, Blink... back to you..." concluded Kelly.

"... Someone special..." recalled Blink, as the camera went back to her,
JR, and Tenay. "Huh... well, I'M lost..."

"So am I," Tenay also said.

"Well, keep in mind that Shaed Bloodgrave's one of the nicest Avatars
you're ever gonna meet here in the Triple A," JR stated. "... so there
can't be anything malevolent in his actions tonight."

The shrill saxophone notes suddenly sounded as a husky, slightly accented
voice spoke over the PA.

"Helllooo, Ssssenshi..." The Great Red Serpent entered the ring area to a
chorus of boos.

"The Great Red Serpent... a member of a slightly less powerful Horde!" JR
stated. "Even with the loss of the Ladykillers and Oni, Dark Sonic
has certainly built his Horde back up a little with the addition of
Wolfsbane, who I might add, WAS Foxglove!"

"Man, just when you think you got someone down, they pull a fast one on
ya..." Blink admitted grudgingly."But still, I hope Oni shows up
tonight...I got somethin' to say later on to the Powers regarding that
halfscan bastard, so I hope they're listening."

"The Serpent's got the mic..." JR dreaded as Red stood in the ring,
bringing the wireless microphone to his mouth.

"The Great Red Serpent is more than pleased to COME to the City of
Roses..." he said to a jeering crowd. "After all... if there's one thing
I'm good at..." Red paused to let out a blissful sigh. "... it's doing a
little DEFLOWERING...!"

"Oh, gimme half a break..." grumbled Blink.

"Now I, for one, am very EXCITED that Lynxara has AROSE from the dead,"
Red continued. "And we all know why... everyone knows that a good PUSSY
always COMES when you call to it!"

"Oh, that's it... I'm blinking this flatscan's ass to Siberia..." Blink
threatened. "Maybe ONLY his ass...!"

"Easy there, girl..." JR advised. "Don't blink anyone anywhere, all
right?"

"...Sorry..." apologized Blink. "But people like him are a waste of
flesh... this guy claims he screwed Rei-chan! Pervert flatscan... like he
could EVER nail the REAL Rei-chan."

Val Venis' Theme faded out, and was replaced with "Happy Birthday To Me"
from "All Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku-Nuku." A second after the
whip-crack sound-bite started up and the music picked up the pace,
Lynxara entered the arena, and the crowd immediately erupted in a flood
of cheers.

Signs popped from the crowd... "One Down, Eight To Go," "The Cat Came
Back," and "We Love You, Lynx-chan" could be seen.

"Whoa! Listen to this crowd!!" Tenay shouted. "What a pop!!"

"Geez!! Any more louder and my ears'd bleed!" exclaimed Blink.

Lynxara was clad in blue jean cut-offs, blue kneepads, taped-up wrists,
black fingerless gloves modified for her four fingers, and a white
T-shirt tied to bare her stomach; on the front was the logo "AAA --
ATTITUDE." Her long mane of black hair was tied back in a ponytail as she
made her way down the aisle, a smile on her lips.

"It's still hard to believe..." JR lamented as Lynxara approached the
ring. "Fight Scene #4 was the last time we saw this cat-girl alive... now
with the return of the Power Alicia Ashby, she's brought Lynxara with
her!"

"And this crowd's still on their feet!" Blink said. "Lynx-chan's quickly
becoming one of the most popular Avatars here, if not THE most
popular!"

Getting to the ring, Lynxara leapt up, grabbing the top rope and flipping
to her feet onto the mat, staring down the Red Serpent in a crouched
position, her smile faded as her blue eyes stared down her opponent.

"Happy Birthday To Me" faded out as the bell rang.

MATCH I: THE GREAT RED SERPENT vs. LYNXARA

"Red charges in, but Lynx pounces at him!! Shoulderblock by the
lynx-girl!" Blink shouted. "He tries to retaliate with a backhand, but
Lynx ducks and tries a roundhouse kick, but Red dodges! He tries a kick,
but LYNX dodges, she tries a leg sweep, but RED jumps over... Man!"

"These two seem to have scouted one another quite well!" remarked Tenay.
"... they're backing off... one would think Red is ALSO looking for
revenge in this match, too... Lynxara's Author DID help in MiSTing 'The
Coming of Munihausen,' you know."

"Yeah, and my semi-Author's is gonna re-write it, too!" Blink snickered.
"Things aren't looking up for the... uhm... forget I said that."

"Don't worry, we have..." JR kindly assured the young mutant. "Red seems
a bit flustered by Lynxara's quickness...!"

"She IS half-cat, Jim..." Blink said. "And cats're known for their speed
and agility! If Red wants to win this bout, he's gotta take it down a
notch and put her on the mat before Lynx... ah, crap I did it again...
these stupid sex jokes are catching...!"

"They go at it again with a tie-up..." JR called the action, too caught
up in Blink's plight. "And Lynxara with the hiptoss! Red gets up, and
Lynx dropkicks him! Red's up again, and Lynx's charging -- Ah, yeah!"
Lynxara's spinning heel kick found its mark, knocking the Red Serpent
down again. Rushing to the prone pervert, the lynx-morph quickly turned
around and backflipped on top of him.

"Standing moonsault!" shouted Tenay. "But Lynx only gets a one-count."

Undaunted, Lynxara picked Red up from the mat, reaching down and leg
dragging him down. Red was quick to his feet, though.

"Red surprises Lynx! Running clothesline!!" screamed Tenay.

"Red grabs Lynx from the mat--" Suddenly JR got excited as Lynxara
suddenly seized Red and rolled him over. "Small package! One, two -- no
good, he powered out!"

"Oh, Red's angry..." Blink remarked. "He grabs her in a rear chin
lock!"

"Well, Blink called it... not bad for a first timer..." JR said. "Red
Serpent's not the most liked Avatar around, but his game plan's sound!
Keeping Lynx grounded is the best thing he's doing right now!"

The robo-ref asked Lynxara if she wanted to give up, to which she cried
out a resounding "NO!!" Red just smirked.

"Oh, yeah... play 'hard to get,' Lynxie... I don't mind one bit!"

Releasing her from the rear chin lock, Red reached under Lynxara's arms,
and the cat-girl let out a startled gasp.

"Red picks her up and it's... ah..." Tenay faltered when he, JR, and
Blink saw where the Serpent had his hands on. "... some sort of...
modified... bearhug...?!"

"'Modified bearhug,' my ass!" cursed Blink. "That jerk's grabbing
Lynx-chan's breasts!!"

"Oh, c'mon!" JR complained. "That's just too much!"

Thoroughly annoyed and disgusted by Red's lecherous actions, Lynxara
struggled to break free from the inappropriate hold. The Native American
only smirked as he flipped her over in a modified German suplex, his
hands still on her chest. But she managed to kick out at two.

"Ah, man... Lynxara is angry... look at her eyes..." Tenay said. "She's
absolutely seething!"

"... How dare you..." Lynxara muttered as she still felt the lingering
touch of the hentai on her breasts. She then looked straight at Red, her
claws stretching out from her fingertips and toes.

"You are SO dead!!" she angrily shouted.

Rushing at the Red Serpent, the feline furry swiped at him with her
claws; Red managed to evade the first swipe, but not the second. Or the
third, or the fourth. His chest slashed several times, Red staggered back
into the corner, and Lynxara quickly capitalized. Climbing the corner,
she began pummeling Red, and the crowd enthusiastically counted the hits.

"--10!" JR finished. "And a kick in the head for good measure! But she's
not done, yet... she's sitting Red up on the top turnbuckle... and --
HURRICARANA OFF THE TOP!" Red laid motionless as Lynxara jumped up onto
the top rope herself and launched herself from it.

"Shooting Star press!!" Blink cheered. "But Lynx isn't pinning Red... she
picks him up and--HOLY CRAP! The AK-47! Lynx-chan's done the AK-47!!"

"Wolf must've taught her that..." Tenay remarked. "But she's still not
going for the pin... is she letting her anger get the better of
her...?!"

"Oh, crap no..." Blink stood up to gaze at Lynxara's line of sight,
directly towards a black-quilled hedgehog. "That's not it at all..."

"Dark Sonic's here..." JR announced grimly. " He's just standing there at
the entranceway... listen to this crowd! They don't like this guy at all,
and for good reason!"

Dark Sonic casually looked towards the booing fans with an almost
seriously somber stare.

"And just because he has no magical power doesn't mean he's no longer
dangerous...!" Blink stated. "He still has his super-speed, and you can
do a LOT of damage when you move that fast!"

"Watch it!" Tenay warned. "Red's from behind! Cradle!! One-Two--ALMOST
three!!"

"Lynxara's quickly up, though... grabs Red--BOOM! Cat's Cradle DDT!!" JR
shouted.

"One-two-three! She gets it!!" yelled Blink. "Yeah! Lynx wins!!"

"Oh wait... that red mist behind Lynxara... it--" Suddenly Kefkain
completely solidified, clotheslining Lynxara from behind. "MAH GOD!!"

"Jeez!! Lynx's leveled!!" Tenay screamed. "And now Kefkain stomping away
at her back!"

As the crowd roared with disapproval and threw trash in the ring, Kefkain
continued to pound away at the lynx-morph just long enough for Red to
recover from the Cat's Cradle DDT and join him in the pummeling.

"Ohno, Dark Sonic's making his way down here..." Blink said. "Oh God, we
could be seein' a repeat of FS 4..."

"God, I hope not..." JR prayed. "The last thing we need is another
fatality here in the 3A! And Kefkain just clamped the Soul Drain on
Lynxara!!"

The feline anthropomorph screamed in agony as the reddish necromantic
energies flowed from Kefkain and into Lynxara. Her attempts to fight her
way out were in vain as she felt her limbs getting weaker and weaker...

Dark Sonic entered the ring, passing the Red Serpent and looking at the
weakening cat-girl. He then looked up at Kefkain and said something to
him... and the Mobian vampire's eyes went wide with shock.

"What he say?" asked Tenay. "He said something!!"

"'Let her go...'" Blink answered. "I read Dark Sonic's lips... he said
'let her go!'"

"But... master!" Kefkain pleaded to Dark Sonic. "We have her at our
mercy! It wouldn't be a problem for you to rip the heart from her
chest--"

"No," Dark Sonic forbade. "Do not question my authority, Kefkain. Let her
go... NOW!!"

Reluctant at first, Kefkain finally conceded, releasing the Soul Drain
from Lynxara before she lapsed into total unconsciousness.

"Oh, thank God that's over..." Tenay said in relief.

"No, thank Dark Sonic!" Blink exclaimed. "He actually showed MERCY! And
to the very cat-girl he KILLED recently, too!!"

"Wolf's here!!" shouted JR, the arena exploded into cheers as the
rodent commando ran down the aisle to the ring. "And look at the Horde
scatter!"

Wolf cast a hateful stare at Dark Sonic, who only let out a sigh as he
commanded Red Serpent and Kefkain to follow him out of the ring area,
leaving Wolf with the badly weakened Lynxara.

He turned to the lynx-girl with a slight smile. "Geez, Lynx... you in a
hurry t'get killed again or what?"

Lynxara opened her eyes, looking towards Wolf with a slight smile as she
reached for the bottom rope.

"Shuddup and help me, okay...?" she muttered weakly.

Wolf's smile got a bit bigger as he hoisted Lynxara into his arms... she
was a bit shocked, but in a pleasant sort of way as Wolf carried her out
of the ring... the crowd cheered as "Happy Birthday To Me" cued up.

WINNER: Lynxara

"Wow, what a start to this show! Hmmm..." Blink looked at the way Lynxara
was smiling as she was carried out. "... looks like someone's got a
crush..." she giggled to herself.

"We'll let you know about Lynxara's condition once we get word..." JR
reported. "But right now the show must go on!"

"Still to come, the Main Event!" Tenay said. "Revenant vs. Undertaker!
Not to mention Wolf vs. Colley Dogstar!"

"But up next!" added Blink. "Silhouette and Shadow vs. Ankoku and
Soulstone!"

"We'll be right back!" JR finished.

(A blank white background shows up on screen. A high-pitched
chipmunk-like scream fades in... then Chibi-Debbie runs by, being chased
by Chibi-Chris)

CB-Deb: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuughhhhhhh! Get away from me!!

CB-Chris: Never! You'll be mine! Muahahahahahaaa!!

CB-Ankoku: (off-screen) AZURE DRAGON STORM!

(a cute blue dragon-shaped blast hits Chibi-Chris, comically knocking him
away with a yelp. Chibi-Ankoku comes on-screen ans Chibi-Debbie runs to
his arms)

CB-Deb: My hero! (kisses CB-Ankoku on the cheek)

AAA -- UNBELIEVABLE!

"Welcome back to AAA Extreme!" JR welcomed as the camera remained
stationary over the ring. "During the commercial break, our cameras
caught the arrival of the Undertaker, himself!" The Trinitron screen came
up on cue; with the words "MOMENTS AGO" on the lower left hand side, the
screen showed the MAX light rail system (ran by the fine people of
Tri-Met) beginning to depart from the Rose Quarter Transit Center... then
suddenly a flash of dirty silver light flashed, and as it vanished a
tall, pale skinned man with long dark-red hair and clad all in black
remained... slung over his shoulder was a duffel bag. The crowd cheered
wildy upon the sight of him.

"The Undertaker's here!" Blink stated the obvious. "Michael Cole's gonna
get a word with the big guy, but first, we got tag-team action!"

"Sentimental Over The Shoulder" from the Megazone 23 Soundtrack cued up,
and as Alex Misamoto and Samantha Jones entered the ring area, the two
siblings were cheered enthusiastically by the audience.

"After King of the Net... and that Adamantium Chain match with Oni--"
Blink turned her head towards Tenay upon the mere mention of the demon's
name. "--you just KNOW Samantha and Alex are still sore!"

"Those two are still a bit upset over their loss to Blue Thunder..." Blink
stated. "Not to mention Alex, too!! I mean... geez, pinned by an award
statuette...?! God, talk about humiliating..."

"Oh, and about Oni..." she quickly added. "Soon as this match is done, I
gotta lot to get off my chest about him, no commercial breaks 'till I'm
done."

"We'll... see what we can do about that..." JR told the mutant girl as
Samantha and Alex entered the ring... Record of Lodoss War's "Adesso E
Fortuna" replaced the Megazone 23 song.

Both Ankoku and Soulstone came out together, hand-in-hand, as they walked
down the aisle. The two received a large pop from the fans. Ankoku wore
his usual armor, while his wife was clad in her dark green ring gear...
most noticeable was an ankle brace on her leg.

"This is so much a mistake on Deb's part, guys..." remarked Blink. "That
ankle's still in a bad way, thanks to Nav... nothing'll stop Samantha or
Alex from capitalizing on it!"

"Samantha, maybe... but Alex might still have feelings for Soulstone..."
Tenay said. "The poor kid really took that role-play seriously! But Deb
didn't really mean to lead Alex on, I think!"

Ankoku held the ropes open for his wife... Alex's eyes betrayed a sense
of sadness as he stared at Debra...

Samantha was in the ring corner, looking at her brother, then at
Soulstone.

"I don't think I can fight Debbie, Sam..." Alex told his sister.

"I understand... I'll take care of it," assured Samantha.

The bell rang as "Adesso E Fortuna" ceased playing over the PA.

MATCH II: "SILHOUETTE" SAMANTHA JONES & "SHADOW" ALEX MISAMOTO vs.
ANKOKU & DEB "SOULSTONE" LAWSON

"It looks like Samantha's going to start this match for her team..." JR
said as Alex stepped in-between the ropes ans stood on the apron. "...
Ankoku's starting for his team. A good decision, given that Soulstone's
not at a hundred percent, here."

"Yeah, it proves just how much of a class act Ankoku really is..." Blink
lovingly sighed. "Too bad he's taken... all the best catches're taken.
It's just not fair." Blink sighed once more, this time out of despair.
"Hmm... Alex's cute..."

"... Oh... kay..." JR muttered, glancing away at the lovestruck mutant as
Samantha shook hands with Ankoku. "Well, let's get this match
underway...!"

The two Avatars grabbed one another in a collar-elbow tie-up. "Samantha
arm drags Ankoku to the mat," Blink called. "He rolls with it... another
tie-up... and Ankoku with an arm drag of his own!"

"It looks like these two are feeling each other out," Tenay observed as
Samantha warily stood up to her feet, staring at Ankoku with a smirk.
"It's only a matter of time before these two turns it up a notch or
two."

"They lock-up again..." said JR. "Headlock by the Azure Knight! But
Samantha throws him to the ropes! Ankoku ducks the spinning side kick,
but NOT a second time!" Ankoku hit the mat hard, and Samantha promptly
picked him up by his silverish hair and placed him in a headlock,
dragging him towards her corner.

"And a tag to Alex!" Blink said. Samantha's younger brother climbed
through the ropes and drove a kick into Ankoku's gut. "With Ankoku's
armor, I don't know if that did much good... but THAT did! DDT by
Alex!"

"He picks Ankoku up, but he punches Alex in the breadbasket!" JR shouted.
"And a kneelift! He grabs Alex, whips him in his corner, and he tags
Soulstone!"

"Whoa!! Alex jumps over the top rope!" Tenay exclaimed. "He DOESN'T want
to confront Deb this way!"

Alex backed off as Samantha jumped down from the apron to meet her
sibling partner.

"I can't do it, Sam..." Alex said hurriedly. "There's no way I can hurt
Debbie... I don't WANT to!!"

"I said I'll take care of it, didn't I? Tag me in, I'LL fight her."

"But--"

Samantha shook her head, silencing Alex. "Tag me."

Soulstone waited patiently as Alex climbed back into the ring and
Samantha onto the apron. Alex then tagged Samantha as she had instructed,
and the audience cheered.

"Here we go..." Blink said. "Geez, talk about a slow start to a match...
hopefully Samantha an' Debbie'll speed things up a bit!"

"Collar-elbow tie-up, and Soulstone with a knee to the head--and a
spinning neckbreaker!" JR commentated. "A driving elbow smash, but
Samantha rolls out of the way--Deb jumps over a leg sweep and DRIVES a
foot in Samantha's back for her troubles!"

"Did I call it or what?" Blink asked smugly. "Man, I'm good at this!"

"Samantha went for the ankle!!" Tenay yelled. "But Debbie avoided the
grab -- but Samantha grabbed her OTHER ankle!! She tripped her! Now she
goes for the Bad ankle... ANKLE LOCK!!"

Soulstone shrieked in unbearable pain as Samantha twisted her injured
ankle hard, but not too hard... she didn't want to PERMANENTLY injure
Deb, despite her leading her brother on like she did...

"Ankoku for the save!" JR shouted as the Azure Knight tackled Samantha
from his wife. Alex quickly ran into the ring and tackled Ankoku in
force, and the two men almost flew out of the ring.

"Oh, yeah!" Blink exclaimed as Eternity shimmered into Soulstone's hand.
"NOW the notch's turned up!"

"Biased much, Blink?" Tenay asked.

Blink shrugged her shoulders. "Hey, I'm a Senshi supporter! I admit it...
hell, I even like Chibi-Usa!"

"Yeah, you're a Moonie, all right..." JR turned his attentions back to
the ring. "Samantha has her katana out, and it looks like we're having a
swordfight in the ring!"

"Yeah, and we got chaos outta the ring, too!" Blink observed the action
right in front of her, JR, and Tenay...

"LIGHTNING FIST STRIKE!" Alex charged at Ankoku with superhumanly fast
punches, but the armored knight side-stepped, his cerulean battle aura
exploding from his body--

"AZURE DRAGON STORM!!"

"Oh, MAH GOD!!" screamed JR as Alex just barely avoided the attack by
suddenly flying upward. "That ki blast would've PROPELLED him into the
steel steps!! He would've been knocked out cold!!"

"Yeah, but he's not!" Blink retorted. "Torpedo dropkick by Alex! And
Ankoku is on the floor!"

"Back in the ring... Samantha and Soulstone are both swiping and
parrying their attacks!" Tenay called. "Another swipe by Soulstone, but
Silhouette blocked, and--oh, GOD! Samantha just cut Deb right across the
chest!!"

"That had GOT to be unintentional!" JR defended Samantha's actions.
"Sometimes in the heat of battle you do things you don't mean to do...
this is one of those times!!"

Samantha backed off, her eyes wide with regret as she stared at the red
ling of blood just over Soulstone's breasts... Deb was also just as
surprised as she placed a hand to her wound, then stared at the blood on
her hand.

"Y-you cut me...!!" she gasped.

"I didn't mean to, Deb... honest to God...!" Samantha apologized deeply.
"I got too caught up! Please, Deb! I'm sorry... please forgive me!"

The hand that held Eternity began to tremble with anger as Deb's eyes
narrowed.

"STASIS BLADE!!"

Quickly acting, Samantha dove away from the icy winds that would've
frozen her in place--

"HELLCRY PUNCH!!"

--but was knocked nearly senseless by a trio of force waves, causing her
to fly backwards into the corner. Still seething, Deb raised Eternity to
the sky as Samantha shook away the cobwebs.

"This's getting scary, guys!" Blink shouted. "Sam's knocked loopy and
Deb's comin' for the kill!"

"Shades of Dark Soulstone..." dreaded Tenay.

Ankoku easily heard the boos from the crowd as he turned away from Alex
for a moment, seeing the reason for the fans' response.

"Oh, no..."

"HOLY EX--"

Ankoku grabbed Deb's sword hand before she could administer her finisher
on a weakened Samantha.

"Ankoku stopped her..." JR said with relief. "Thank God."

"Debra, stop this!!" Ankoku pleaded. "This isn't you... please... stop
it... for me."

For a moment, Soulstone was still angry. But Ankoku's calm, gentle words
got to her as she settled down.

"Ankoku..." she whispered. "What... happened..." Seeing Samantha almost
knocked for a loop as Alex checked on her, she gasped frightfully. "Oh
dear God... what have I done..."

Ankoku turned to the robo-ref. "We cannot fight under these
circumstances. My wife and I forfeit this match."

"Say what--?!" Blink overheard Ankoku's words from the camera. "They're
forfeiting??"

WINNERS BY FORFEITURE: Samantha Jones & Alex Misamoto

"Well, Samantha and Alex've won, but you can be sure they'll be asking
for a rematch in the future..." JR stated.

"Not anytime soon, I think..." Blink added. "This just proves that Debbie
re-entered the action too soon... it may be for the best if she returns to
her injured leave, now..."

"Amazing..." Tenay replied. "Just amazing..."

Ankoku and Deb hugged each other, and then Deb walked towards Samantha,
who was just now recovering from the attacks.

"Samantha, I'm sorry..." Deb said to the red-haired vigilante. "I don't
know what came over me..."

"It's... okay..." Samantha said. "I forgive you..."

The two women hugged one another as the crowd affectionately cheered.

"That's a good thing to see, folks..." JR said. "Good sportsmanship and
no hard feelings... a true testament to the human spirit!"

"Well, still... Dark Sonic obviously did something to Debbie..." Blink
surmised. "Dammit, that hedgehog no longer has any power and he's STILL
screwing with us...!"

"We just got word that Lynxara didn't suffer any long term effects from
Kefkain's Soul Drain!" Tenay announced. "She's up and walking about...
she'll be all right!"

"Well, up next we got Team Foxfire's Colley Dogstar versus Wolf, but as
promised, Blink, you're given some air time before our next commercial
break. So the floor is yours."

"Thanks, JR..." Blink paused momentarily as the camera focused in on her.
Looking up at it, she began.

"A while back... Oni invaded my home reality... an alternate version of
the Sailor Moon Universe. Because of his onslaught... he leveled all of
Tokyo... killed a lot of innocent people. But... he also killed Usagi...
my best friend... and put the other Inner Senshi into comas..."

Blink hesitated, wiping away tears before she continued on.

"When I tried to get revenge on him the first time... I failed... and he
scarred me for my troubles. I can't show you the scars, mainly because
it's national television, and I don't wear a bra when I'm in this
costume."

"Oh, God..." Tenay muttered, getting a visual picture.

"Shaed managed to stop Oni... but to me, it's not good enough..." Blink
went on. "The only way I can have closure with this is if _I_ got revenge
on him myself... so Tim... Alicia... I hope you're listening, 'cause
here's my plea.

"I want you guys to make me an Avatar for one night, and one night only,"
Blink asked. "And on that night, I want Oni... in a Hell in a Cell
match."

"What--?!" JR was shocked.

"I know how powerful Oni is... I know he can kill me... but I don't
care," Blink closed off, ignoring JR. "If I don't get this match, I'll go
nuts. I wanna avenge my friends so badly... I NEED this match! If you
guys have ANY sense of vengeance... you give me this one match so I can
pound Oni, or so Oni can pound me! Just... just gimme a chance... that's
all I ask..."

Blink once more wiped her tears away... then her eyes began glowing
bright pink.

"He's here." *BLINK!* In an instant, Blink vanished, her headset dropping
to the table.

"What the... oh God, we got commercial sign, and Blink just disappeared
to God-Knows-Where..." dreaded JR. "Folks, don't you go away, we'll be
right back!"

(A blank white background appears on screen, and we hear cheerful,
high-pitched singing fading in... Chibi-Lynxie happily skips along, a
baby dollie under her arm as the camera follows her. Suddenly,
Chibi-Sonic appears before her, scaring the cute cat-girl)

CB-DS: Mwuhahahahahahaaa! Stupid cat-girl! Surrender, or I will kill
you!

CB-Lynx: (scared) No! If you kill me, I'll die! I don't wanna die!!

CB-DS: Oh, yeah? Gimme that!

(Chibi-Sonic grabs Chibi-Lynxie's doll and pulls its head off. Poor
Chibi-Lynxie Usagi-Power cries as Chibi-Sonic laughs in an evilly cute
way. Then Chibi-Lynxie pulls out a large hammer, and pounds Chibi-Sonic
flat)

CB-Lynx: (giggles) Oopsie!

(Chibi-Lynxie looks at the camera and gives it a victory sign)

AAA -- UNBELIEVABLE!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're back!" JR said as the camera stayed on him
and Tenay. "And with a name like 'AAA Extreme,' you can be damn sure
there's nothing passive about this show!

"Case in point..." JR added. "Just before the commercial break, Blink had
asked the Powers That Be to be an Avatar for one night, and a Hell in a
Cell match with Oni on that night! And then she just teleported out,
blinked from ringside. During the commercial break, we found out where
Blink went and what she did. Take a look."

The Trinitron screen, with "MOMENTS AGO" on the lower left hand corner,
revealed the arrival of Johnny Hellfire... Oni's human alter ego... to
the Rose Garden; the crowd immediately went into a chorus of boos. With a
smirk, he looked around at his surroundings and moved onward. Suddenly,
(BLINK!) Blink appeared out of nowhere and attacked Johnny, throwing kick
after kick into his gut and head. As Johnny staggered back, Blink hardly
let up, (BLINK!) teleporting a steel chair into her hands and with a
vicious swing, brought it down on Hellfire's head, and the fans roared
with approval.

"That's for Usagi, you bastard!" Blink can be heard screaming at the hurt
young man. "And THIS is for Ami!!" Another swing, and the chair once more
connected with Johnny's skull.

"This is for Rei-chan!!" Another swing. "This is for Mako!!" ANOTHER
swing. "THIS is for Minako!!" YET ANOTHER swing! "THIS is for me!!" STILL
another swing. "And this's because I just FEEL LIKE IT!!!" The final
swing to Johnny's bloodied head and Blink released the battered steel
chair.

Blink smiled grimly at her handiwork as NotReallyHere and several
security officers could be seen rushing towards her.

"See ya, Oni..." she said, (BLINK!) just before she teleported away.

NotReallyHere and the security finally got to Johnny Hellfire, his head
covered with blood after the brutal chair shots from a vengeful Blink.

Suddenly his eyes opened.

Floating up to his feet, Johnny Hellfire was fuming as the security
backed away from him, and for good reason; as he bellowed out Blink's
name, he transformed into the monstrous Oni, the wounds to his head
instantly vanished. Ignoring NotReallyHere and the security, he stormed
off, screaming for Blink.

"Mah God..." JR shuddered. "Oni's still in the building, folks. For all
we know, Blink's halfway across the world by now, or even back at the AAA
Universe, with the way her powers work. We'll keep you posted on this
situation as it further develops."

"Another development is in the Undertaker/Revenant match," Tenay spoke
up. "During the tag match up, Michael Cole managed to catch up with the
WWF's Phenom himself... THIS is what happened!"

The Trinitron once more came on, revealing Michael Cole and the
Undertaker, Mark Calloway himself, standing in a hallway. The arena gave
an enthusiastic reaction as they saw the 'Taker on screen.

"Undertaker, Mark Calloway... tonight, Mr McMahon has allowed you to
compete in the AAA for this one night. And your opponent tonight is 'the
Revenant' Shaed Bloodgrave! Your comments on this." Col held the mic
towards Mark for his response.

"Michael, I've fought a lot of tough opponents in my career in the
WWF..." he lamented. "Mankind, my brother Kane, and Steve Austin come to
mind... but 'the Revenant' has got to be one of the toughest I've ever
challenged. He says he's immortal... that he's had about ten thousand
years worth of fighting experience. That's extraordinary, Michael. I also
know how powerful he is. Which is why I've been training extra hard for
this match. My powers as the Grim Reaper of Wayward Souls have been
raised... strengthened to match Shaed Bloodgrave's own power. So I am
more than ready to hand him his first defeat here in the 3A."

"And what about Shaed Bloodgrave being loosely based off of you?" asked
Cole.

"I really have no problem with that... from what I've heard about Shaed,
he's already come out of my shadow. He talks about this being his
existence coming full circle whether he wins or loses. That doesn't
matter to me... Shaed, tonight you will find out that even you're out of
my shadow, even you can't defeat that which helped spawn you. Tonight,
'Revenant...' you will. Rest. In. Peace..."

"... We were just handed a note..." Cole glanced at the folded piece of
paper, then handed it to Mark. "It's for you."

"What...?" Mark took the note from Cole, and opened it up. Reading it,
his eyes went wide for a moment, then quickly went back to his stoic
visage.

"Excuse me..." he told Cole before his folded the paper back up and left
him.

"After that interview, the Undertaker re-entered his dressing room," JR
reported. "And ever since then, he hasn't left it since!"

"Moreover, we have reports that Shaed Bloodgrave HAS arrived!" Tenay
said. "So it is certain, now... the Revenant/Undertaker match WILL happen
tonight... but first up is Wolf versus Colley Dogstar!"

On cue, "Unforgiven II" by Metallica cued up, the crowd almost
immediately cheering. Wolf and his partner, Agent Q, stepped into the
arena, and cheers became near-deafening.

"The crowd's on its feet!" JR yelled out over the cheers. "Even though
this Avatar lost to Kefkain in the Mobius Dimension Championship Finals,
Wolf STILL gave it his all! He is a fighter, and a hell of a rodent!
He'll take it to ya with EVERYTHING he's got, and he proved that at
KotN!"

"Ah, did he ever!" Tenay said as Wolf and Agent Q entered the ring. "You
can be sure Wolf's going to win a title belt sometime in his career, and
it may be soon!"

Wolf's ring music died down, and was replaced by the Offspring's "Come
Out And Play." The huge Colley, with both his tag partner Scarlet Foxfire
and manager Jonathan Brisby went down the aisle, occasionally slapping
hands of the fans... Scarlet even took a sign and presented it to the
camera that followed them; it read "KINTOBOR R:IP." As Colley climbed
into the ring, the cheers from the audience seemed to be directed towards
Brisby as he gave Colley a few extra pointers, then left him and Scarlet,
walking towards JR and Tenay.

"Hey, JR! Mikey!" he called out with a grin.

"Well, it looks like we're going to be joined by Brisby, himself...!"
Tenay said as the mouse-like furry sat down in the chair Blink once sat
upon and put the headset on.

"Hey, Blink wears CK-One... nice!" Brisby said as he sniffed the lingering
scent of the young mutant's perfume.

"Well, welcome to the show, Jonathan..." JR greeted.

"Hey thanks, JR!" Brisby answered cheerfully. "It wouldn't be a hit show
without Team Foxfire in the mix, so -- here we are!!"

"'Here you are' is right..." Tenay said. "Fans're STILL talking about
your participation in KotN!"

"Yeah, so'm I!" stated Brisby with a smirk. "But what about Lynx-chan,
huh? Ashby's Avatar is too cute! That's one girl I wouldn't mind playing
'cat and mouse' with, know what I mean?"

"Ah-- and the bell rings!" JR quickly changed the subject.

MATCH III: WOLF (w/ Agent Q) vs. COLLEY DOGSTAR (w/ Scarlet Foxfire)

"Wolf and Colley tie-up..." Tenay began to call the action. "And Wolf
with the body slam! Colley goes back up, but is KNOCKED back down with a
clothesline!"

"I'll give it to Wolf, here..." admitted Brisby. "This guy's double, even
TRIPLE-tough! But Colley's just gettin' warmed up! Don't worry, he'll
pull it off!"

Brisby called it; Colley advanced towards Wolf and delivered a huge foot
to the rodent commando's face, staggering him, then followed up with a
hard clothesline of his own.

"Wolf's back up!" Tenay yelled. "He dodges a shoulder block from Colley,
goes behind, and-- a BACKHAND from Colley stops whatever Wolf had
planned!"

"Oh, yeah! What I tell you guys?" praised Brisby. "Colley's got it goin'
on!"

"It sure looks like it -- AWESOME spinebuster from Colley!!" screamed
JR.

Fans cheered Colley's performance as Scarlet applauded her man. Agent Q
struck the apron in frustration, trying to get his partner motivated.

Colley picked Wolf up by his head, placing him in a headlock and dropping
down in a DDT.

"Wolf is getting up...!!" JR said. "This rodent commando will NEVER say
die! He's not out of it yet!"

"Colley goes for Wolf, and -- AH! Diamond Cutter! Colley's stunned!"
shouted Tenay.

"Ah, man!!" Brisby screamed. "Geez, c'mon Colley!! Get up!!"

Wolf went for the pin, but Colley got a shoulder up at two.

"Wolf picks Colley up, but Colley gets in a hit to the gut! Sets Wolf up
-- VERTICAL SUPLEX!" Tenay recognized. "And now Colley goes for the
feet... and a Texas Cloverleaf!! Well executed!"

"Somewhere Dean Malenko's smilin'!" Brisby said. "If he CAN smile, that
is... ain't called 'The Ice Man' for nothin', ya know..."

"The robo-ref's asking Wolf if he wants to quit, but that is NOT gonna
happen, folks!" stated JR. "He will never say die! That's now tenacious,
how tough, Wolf is!"

"Wolf's reaching for the ropes... aw, man he got them!" Brisby
complained. "Colley's gotta break the hold!"

Colley did reluctantly release Wolf from the Cloverleaf and went to pick
him up by his head, but Wolf suddenly grabbed his foot and pulled it out
from under him.

"Wolf picks up Colley... looks like he's setting him up for the AK-47!"
JR cheered.

"Ah, no..." Brisby muttered in despair.

"No! Colley blocked it!" Tenay shouted. "He tries a suplex, but WOLF
blocks it!! A shot to the gut by Wolf, and THERE it is!!"

"The AK-47!" JR called. "It's all but academic, now -- WAIT! At
ringside!!"

"Oh, (bleep)!!" Brisby cursed, the censors blocking out his use of the
s-word. "It's Oni!! And he just dropped down behind Scarlet!! SCARLET!!
BEHIND YOU!!!"

The fox-like psi-cop caught Brisby's warning in time, ducking under Oni's
lunging claw and rolling away from him, avoiding any serious damage.

Brisby swiftly pulled his headset off and rushed to Scarlet's side as Wolf
turned his attentions away from the match at hand, claws projecting out as
he leapt out of the ring and slashed at Oni, knocking him away from Brisby
and Scarlet. Agent Q also ran past Brisby and Scarlet to try to assist
Wolf. However...

"Oni just THREW Wolf up in the air!!" screamed Tenay. "He leaps up after
him and -- AHH!! Modified air powerbomb!!"

Wolf struck the concrete back first as Oni landed on top of him with a
double foot stomp. Oni then roared in anger.

"BLLIIINNNK!!!" he screamed. "WHERE ARE YOU?!! I'LL KIILLLL YYOUUUUU!!!!"
The audience booed loudly at Oni, but suddenly broke out into cheers as
Agent Q tackled Oni.

"AK-47 on Oni! But Oni gets right back up!!" JR feared. "POWERFUL
clothesline by the Big Purple Machine! And Agent Q -- oh, God he landed on
his head!"

"Wait! There's Lynxara! She's back!! And she's got a chair!!" Tenay
exclaimed. "She leaps at Oni -- CHAIR SHOT to the back of the head!! But
-- my God, he didn't even FEEL it!!"

Oni growled, turning around and seized Lynxara by the neck before she
could jump back.

"I've had enough of steel chair for one night, Lynxara..." Oni muttered.
"And obviously, you've had enough of BREATHING!!"

Oni then began squeezing, as Lynxara gasped out... in a matter of seconds
the vise-like grip of Oni would easily crush her windpipe, along with her
vertebrae. Frantically, Lynxara tried in vain to break free from the
demon's death grip...

"THE REVENANT!!" JR screamed. "He just Position Shifted behind Oni! Grabs
him in a full nelson! Lynxara's freed, and -- FULL NELSON SUPLEX BY
SHAED!!"

"There's Morrigan!" Tenay pointed out as the succubus-turned-goddess
exited through a glowing green transportal. A multitude of bat-like
creatures formed in front of her as she manifested the Soul Eraser and
pointed it at Oni.

"Blink isnae here, Oni..." Morrigan said coldly. "She left a while ago.
Why don't ye leave, also? Ye've already done ye'er damage."

Oni smirked as he stared down "the Revenant's" wife and manager, then
looked at Shaed, who was charging up his Black Inferno Strike. Both
Samantha and Alex also rushed out to ringside to join the eternal couple
in the face-off.

"... Fine..." Oni grumbled. "But I WILL be back."

With a burst of hellfire, Oni vanished.

"Mah God... thank Heaven that's over," JR said. "But Wolf and Agent Q're
recovering and Lynxara's all right, thanks to Shaed..." He paused
momentarily. "We're about to get the official word on the match..."

WINNER: None (no contest)

"There you have it," Tenay said. "Because of Oni's interference, the
match is thrown out. But we may well see a rematch with Wolf and Colley
in the near-future."

"We gotta take a commercial break..." JR said, as the Avatars present took
their leave to the backstage. "We'll be right back..."

(Scene: The ravaged streets of Raccoon City, as both Claire Redfield and
Leon Kennedy are back-to-back one another, shooting a seemingly endless
number of zombies; Claire has her handgun while Leon has his shotgun.
Both look tired)

Leon: We can't keep this up forever! I'm running outta ammo!

Claire: Me too! I don't like the looks of this...!

(Suddenly the sounds of machine gun fire can be heard as Nav bursts
through the zombies, screaming as he blasts through the decaying
masses)

Nav: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! DIE! DIE! DIE! Dammit, they're worse 'n'
Moonies!! WHY WON'T THEY STAY DEAD?! (the Moonies, I mean)

(Then Oscar explodes from the zombies, delivering a Kamehameha onto
several of them. He's joined by Soulstone, who does a Holy Explosion and
"The Revenant," who performs his Black Inferno Strike. Within seconds,
the zombies are all dead! As Leon and Claire stare at the four Avatars,
Oscar dusts his hands off)

Oscar: Well, THAT was simple!

Shaed: I'm hungry... anyone want pizza?

Deb: Ohh, I do!

Nav: Yeah, let's blow this joint!

(The four Avatars walk off amidst a pile of rotting corpses as Leon and
Claire continue to stare at them dumbfoundedly)

Announcer: AAA -- Ridiculously Too Powerful For Resident Evil 2.

(Cut back to Leon and Claire as they are being shaken by a laughing
Troublemaker)

Announcer: Now supports Dual Shock Analog Controller!

Just as the cameras return to the Rose Garden, The Bloodgrave Family
Crest appeared on screen as "I Know You Want Me" (Sunny's Theme) suddenly
cues up over the PA.

"We're back, folks!" JR welcomed. "And that music is signaling the
arrival of Morrigan Bloodgrave's sister, 'the Revenant's'
sister-in-law... that's right, Lilith Aensland is making her way here to
this arena!"

As JR said that, Lilith appeared at the arena entrance, floating in the
air in the fetal position, and much to the capacity's delight, completely
naked. Lilith straightened out just as her outfit... a red and blue
variation of Morrigan's black and purple one... flashed onto her body, as
did her head and back wings as she dropped down to the stage.

"Oh, my..." whispered Tenay.

"She IS a succubus, Mike..." JR muttered. "Uhm... Mike...? You okay?"

"Uhm...?" Tenay quickly shook himself from his stupor. "Oh, she's wearing
clothes, now..."

Flashing a cute smile, Lilith made her way down the aisle, greeting fans
as she did.

Tenay stood up to shake Lilith's hand. "Welcome to the program,
Lilith!"

"Thanks, Mike!" Lilith said as she also shook JR's hand, then sat down
and placed the headset on. "I can't wait!! My bro's gonna fight the
Undertaker!! This is gonna be too cool!!"

"Well, Lilith..." JR said to the child-like succubus. "You certainly
appeared at the right time, with Oni gone."

"What? Oni was here!? Oh, my! He would've certainly torn the cute head
off my petite shoulders!!" Lilith feigned fainting in her chair, then
opened her crimson eyes as she smirked. "Yeah, I know he was here. You
think I'm gonna walk in here with Oni around when Lucifer's put a
contract out on my head? I'm smarter than that, Jim... Oni and any other
demon's not gonna come close in getting cute widdle ol' me!" Batting her
eyes in an adorable fashion, she then turned to the ring. "Right! Now
let's see my bro beat the living (bleep) outta Mark!"

"Uh... right... let's go to Mike Buffer in the ring..." JR concluded.

The bell tolled three times as Michael Buffer began.

"Llllllllllllllllllladies and gentlemen, it's time for tonight's main
event of the evening!" he announced. "This is the first-ever
inter-company match-up... the Author Avatar Association versus the World
Wrestling Federation! Here in the Rose Garden, an Avatar and a
professional wrestler will challenge one another and push their skills to
their limits. Are you ready?!" The crowd erupted with cheers.

"BREAK IT DOWN!!"

JR and Tenay looked at Lilith, who grinned at JR. "Beat ya to it,
Jimbo...!"

"Portland, Oregon... are you rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrREADY?!"
continued Buffer, and the audience cheered louder.

"For the thousands in attendance here in the Rose Garden... for the
millions watching throughout the multiverse... ladies and gentlemen...
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllet's get READY to
RUMBLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

The crowd roared with cheers as "Undertaker's Theme" cued up, the lights
dimming to black as the cheers continued; many lighters flickered on,
paying respects to the WWF superstar about to enter the arena.

"First, from Death Valley, weighing in at 328 pounds, and clad all in
black..." Buffer said as a cloud of fog seeped through the entrance. "He
is the Man in Black, the Prince of Darkness, the Grim Reaper of Wayward
Souls, and the Phenom of the World Wrestling Federation. The single most
feared competitor in the WWF, he has held the World Title twice and the
Tag Team Titles once. Ladies and gentlemen, here is... the
Undertaker!!"

Clad in full Undertaker regalia, Mark Calloway entered the arena to a
mass of cheers, blue lights flooding the arena. But he didn't come
alone.

Accompanying him was a tall, beautiful woman with waist-length platinum
blonde hair, clad in a conservative indigo dress.

"Mah God..." JR, as well as Tenay, easily recognized the woman with Mark.
"That's... that's Shion Nys!!"

"Yep, it sure is, isn't it?" Lilith said with a smile.

"'Someone special...' Tenay recalled. "But why Shion? I--"

"Shaed told me all about it..." Lilith explained. "Jackass supreme Mr.
McMahon accidentally dropped Mark virtually onto Shion's doorstep, and
those two just hit it off! But Vinnie Mac, being the jerk that he is,
brought 'Taker back to the satellite before he and Shion could gedditon!
My bro's just being a nice guy and trying to pair these two lovebirds
back up!"

"Well, that's down right nice of him..." JR said as Mark stepped up onto
the stairs, pausing to slowly raise his arms to the sky as the ring
lights faded back on. Walking across the ring apron, he took the time to
open the ring ropes for Shion, following her into the ring as "Undertaker's
Theme" faded out... and the Bloodgrave Family Crest faded in on the
Trinitron, the crowd erupted with cheers that were as loud as those for the
Undertaker. Seconds later, Rammstein's "Du Hast" cued up.

"His opponent, to be accompanied to the ring by Morrigan Aensland
Bloodgrave..." Buffer continued. "From All Hallow's Eve, weighing in at
225 pounds and clad in black and gray... he is a half-human, half-demon
immortal warrior whose life spans over ten thousaAAAH!!" Buffer was
suddenly startled by the explosion of black fire from the arena entrance
as the song's heavy guitars kicked in. "Uhm... ladies and gentlemen, 'the
Revenant,' Shaed Bloodgrave!"

"Cool, bro made Buffy jump!" Lilith giggled at Buffer as he exited the
ring.

"'... Buffy...?!'" Tenay repeated in disbelief.

A glowing green transportal opened up in front of the wall of black fire,
several bat-like creatures flying from it... and as Shaed Bloodgrave,
clad in his ring gear and a black leather jacket with his Family Crest on
the back, emerged through the flames, his wife Morrigan exited out the
portal. The transportal closed and the black flames reverse-ignited as
the two walked arm-in-arm towards the ring.

"Shaed Bloodgrave give up more than a hundred pounds to the Undertaker,
but height and weight differences aren't the case in this match...
experience is the factor!" Tenay analytically stated. "Bloodgrave has had
reportedly over ten thousand years honing his fighting skills... he's
learned virtually every martial art that has ever existed and has melded
the best qualities of those styles to form his OWN style... Kurohijitsu,
the black fire art!" He looked up as Shaed climbed into the ring, holding
the ropes open for his wife.

"Call me crazy, but it looks like the Undertaker's the underdog in this
match!!" he said in surprise.

Both Shaed and Mark kept their eyes on one another as they removed their
respective ring jackets... Mark had his traditional Undertaker game face
on; cold and emotionless... Shaed was smiling, anticipating, relishing
the chance to engage the competition before him.

"Du Hast" faded out as the bell rang.

MAIN EVENT: "THE UNDERTAKER" MARK CALLOWAY (w/ Shion Nys) vs. "THE
REVENANT" SHAED BLOODGRAVE (w/ Morrigan Aensland Bloodgrave)

Both Morrigan and Shion exited the ring as Shaed and Mark continued to
stare at each other. Shaed then crossed his arms before him in a
Mortis-like fashion, bowing his head honorably towards Mark. In turn,
Mark raised his hand, palm up, towards Shaed... his own salute towards
his opponent.

Shaed dropped into his battle stance, and the two competitors came out of
their corners.

"The tie-up!" JR shouted. "... And Undertaker throws Shaed back!"

"Yeah, but look at him kippup and grab Mark again!" Lilith retorted. "And
'TAKER gets thrown back!!"

"They're just feeling each other out here," Tenay observed. "Once they
think they've figured each other out, we're in for a VERY good match."

"They tie-up again," called JR. "Arm drag by the Revenant! Undertaker
gets up, and a THUNDEROUS clothesline by the Phenom!! But Shaed just jumps
right back up, and a belly-to-back suplex to the Undertaker!"

"Ah, he just sat right back up, too...!" Lilith said warily. "These guys
are gonna pull out the heavy artillery, and soon!"

"Lilith may be right on that count..." added Tenay, as the Undertaker
threw a thrust to the throat, then a kick, and finally a DDT at Shaed.

"Shaed gets up AGAIN!!" JR yelled. "He's lunging for Mark but--MAH GOD!!"
A sudden flash of black light blazed from the Undertaker's palms,
striking Shaed in the face, blinding the immortal fighter.

"Darling!!" screamed Morrigan.

"Where the hell did THAT come from?!" cursed Lilith.

"Mark has been training especially hard for this match..." surmised
Tenay. "We could be seeing the full power of the Undertaker, tonight!"

"Short arm clothesline by the Undertaker!" JR called out. "Shaed's still
getting up, and... what is he doing?" Shaed dropped to his knees,
crossing his arms as he did before the match... it looked like he was
concentrating.

"Mark's throwing a punch -- but Shaed CATCHES it!" shouted a surprised JR.
Shaed, still blinded physically, suddenly jumped up with a kick to the
stomach, a straight punch, a backhand--

"KOKU EN KYU!!"

"A Black Fireball completes an awesome Kurohijitsu kata by Shaed!!"
commentated Tenay. "And it looks like Shaed's eyesight is clearing
up...!"

"Fighting while blinded..." Lilith muttered. "Damn, my bro's awesome!"

"Mark's up to his feet... Shaed with a hurricanrana--but 'Taker counters
it into a powerbomb!" JR said. "Pinning predicament, but Mark gets only
one!"

"Shaed's back up -- but what's 'Taker doing..." Lilith wondered as he
charged at the "Revenant"--

"TOMBSTONE SMASH!!"

--manifesting a tombstone-like object made from dark energies. With all
his strength, he then brought it crashing down on Shaed's head, dropping
him to the mat. "HOLY (bleep)!!"

"That's new..." muttered JR. "... But Shaed's STILL getting up!! What
does it take to put this guy down?!"

Staying focused, Mark brought his dark energies into his hands--

"DEATH THUNDER!!"

--throwing an orb of black lightning directly into Shaed's chest,
knocking him back. Mark then ran towards "the Revenant" and grabbed his
head.

"Spinning neck breaker by the Undertaker!" Tenay said. "And this time
he's not letting Shaed get up! Reverse painkiller from Mark!"

"I don't think that's gonna do much good," Lilith said. "Bro's been shot,
stabbed, burned, fried... so on, so forth, and all that..."

Indeed, when the robo-ref asked if he wanted to submit, Shaed only
muttered, "No." It was as if he was IGNORING the pain inflicted on him,
and thinking of a way to get out of the submission hold.

Then he acted, bending back with incredible flexibility and kicking Mark
in the head, breaking the hold.

"MAH GOD!" JR shouted. "This man is so agile, it's almost frightening!"

"Yeah... wonder if he's that flexible in bed?" Lilith thought out loud.
"I'll have to ask oneechan about that..."

Both JR and Tenay stared at Lilith with odd gazes.

"... What...?!" she asked innocently.

Both combatants were on their feet, but it was Mark who acted first as he
drew his chi into his hands--

"REAPER ASSAULT!!"

--and began to throw numerous Death Thunders at Shaed, who was rocked
back so hard he was thrown from the ring. Mark then climbed out of the
ring after him, but Shaed was ready.

"A back flip kick from Shaed!!" Lilith shouted joyously. "HE goes for a
leg drop, but--AGH, Mark blocks it, and--AAGH!!" Mark had channeled his
supernatural power into his strength and threw Shaed into the steel steps
head-first. "That's gotta sting..."

"No way... Shaed's GETTING UP!!" Tenay screamed. "But Mark grabs his
neck--CHOKE SLAM! And--" Tenay was suddenly speechless when Shaed bounced
back up into the Undertaker's grasp and was choke slammed again... and
again, and one more time!

"A variation of bro's Super Sudden Impact... only with a choke slam...!!"
Lilith whispered.

Shion cheered Mark on enthusiastically as Morrigan grew concerned for her
husband... the fans were cheering on Mark; even the "REST IN PEACE!"
chant started up.

The Undertaker threw Shaed back up into the ring and climbed in after
him. But just as Mark entered the ring Shaed suddenly kippuped, grabbing
his opponent and delivering a back roll throw. Shaed intended on
capitalizing, but Mark stopped him with a kick to the gut, then picked
him up over his shoulder.

"TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!" JR shouted as Mark placed his arms on Shaed's
chest in the pin. "1... 2... HE KICKED OUT!!!"

Mark was almost surprised when Shaed got up from his finisher, but was
quickly brought back as Shaed attacked.

"SHINZUI KYAKU!!" Launch Kicking Mark in the chest, Shaed linked the move
with a standing jump kick-- "SHO SHINZUI KYAKU!!" --a Rising Launch Kick
that took both him and Mark into the air, then grabbed him in an air
powerslam, pinning him.

"Two count!" JR shrieked. "God, those Kurohijitsu katas are so
punishing... I can't believe Mark kicked out!"

Shaed waited for Mark to get up to his feet, then acted, leaping up and
placing his feet onto the Undertaker's face, and pushing off with his
awesome leg strength and sending Mark hard to the mat as "the Revenant"
flipped away onto his feet.

"Awesome...!" Tenay exclaimed.

"What the hell do you call THAT?!" JR asked.

"The Hawk's Phantom... ninja move," Lilith answered.

"Mark has SLOWLY sat up..." said Tenay. "It looks like he's weakening!"

Smiling, Shaed ran at Mark, reaching for his head and spun about.

"Magnificent swinging DDT!" JR shouted. "He picks him up and-- GOD, he
just threw Mark all the way up to the rafters--"

"BASHOKOTAI!!" Shaed suddenly Position Shifted up with Mark and
belly-to-back suplexed him all the way down back into the ring.

"MAH DEAR GOD!!" JR screamed.

"THAT'S a new one..." said Lilith.

"I guess we can call that a Position Shift suplex...!!" Tenay said as
Shaed pinned Mark. "ALMOST three!!"

"Both Shaed and Mark are SO resilient...!" JR said. "This match just may
go on forever!"

Shaed picked Mark up by the head, but abruptly the Undertaker grabbed his
head and butted him hard with his own. Seizing him by the neck, Mark then
pulled Shaed to a ring corner and lifted him up.

"Mah God, no... he's not gonna--" JR, Tenay, Lilith, and Shion winced as
Mark choke slammed Shaed's head against the turnbuckle with all his
strength; a KRAK sound reverberated from his neck. The entire arena
gasped in shock; Morrigan turned away in horror.

"The Undertaker just broke Shaed's neck!!" JR shouted.

"Bro's immortal, he can get up from his... I hope..." Lilith for the
first time in her life prayed to God, hoping He would listen to sinfully
cute demonesses.

Mark stepped back and drew his thumb across his neck, signaling to the
fans that it was almost over...

And the Shaed sat up... the crowd let out a huge pop.

"Mah God, I don't believe it..." whispered JR.

Shaed reached for his limply hanging head, and jerked it back; another
KRAK sounded as he re-aligned his own neck vertebrae.

"After a broken neck, he STILL gets up...!!" Tenay said in disbelief.

Undaunted, the Undertaker rushed towards Shaed and picked him up over his
shoulder, setting him up for another Tombstone. Shaed quickly acted,
grabbing Mark's waist and using his weight to flip backward onto his
feet, countering Mark's Tombstone for looked like his own... then the
unexpected happened.

"Shaed SPINS Mark right-side up and--"

"SHO GEKI HA!!" Shaed held onto Mark as he brought him down with his
Uranage/Rock Bottom-like move.

"--GOOD LORD! The Sudden Impact!!" screamed JR. "1... 2... NO! MARK KICKS
OUT!!!"

Shaed stepped back as Mark sat up once more, but he didn't have a chance
to recover from the astonishing counter--

"KOKU EN HA! EN KYU!!"

--as Shaed threw both the Black Fire Ground Wave and the Black Fireball
at Mark. The 'Taker was struck by both projectiles--

"KUROJIGOKU KOGEKI!!"

--which set him up for the Black Inferno Strike. Mark was staggered back
into the corner as the punishing black beam of dark chi poured out of
Shaed's hands and against the Undertaker's chest. Shaed then ran over and
leapt on top of Mark, attempting to do monkey flip him up and over.

"Mark pushes him off!" JR said. "Now he... what's that... looks like some
sort of battle aura coming from the Undertaker...!"

"LAST RITES!!"

A large obsidian coffin faded into sight, appearing behind Shaed. Before
he could act, the coffin suddenly swallowed "the Revenant" up, closing up
tight. The Undertaker then drew his supernatural energies into his fists,
manifesting the largest Death Thunder he had ever created, and with all
his strength, threw it against the coffin, which promptly exploded, then
imploded against Shaed's trapped body.

Shaed collapsed lifelessly onto the mat, smoke rising from his body.

"Oh, man..." Lilith said. "I don't like the looks of this..."

Shaed suddenly moved, slowly rising up from the ground. Mark didn't let
him get up, though, as he went for the pin.

"1... 2... 3!!" JR shouted, but then paused. "No! He got a shoulder up!!
Just a two!"

The Undertaker stepped back, drawing as much energy he had left for
another Last Rites finisher, but Shaed suddenly sprang back up to his
feet, dark chi crackling from his body.

"SHINKUU... SHO GEKI..."

"LAST RITES!!"

"... HA!!"

Like a shot, Shaed bolted from the advancing black coffin and seized
Mark's neck.

"THE SUPER SUDDEN IMPACT!!" JR screamed. "Mah God!! ... THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, and the SEVENTH time ends that absolutely devastating
move!!"

The residual chi rippling from Shaed and Mark's bodies, the black flamed
shock wave traveled from the epicenter of the chi-enhanced move. Shaed
went for the pin.

"1... 2... THREE! It's over!" Tenay declared. "Shaed wins!!"

WINNER: "The Revenant" Shaed Bloodgrave

"Unbelievable...!!" JR said as "Du Hast" cued up in celebratory fashion.
"The action was furious, folks... the Undertaker seemed to dominate this
match, but 'the Revenant' managed to survive the onslaught, and beat the
Last Rites for the victory!"

"I think this is one for the record books...!" Tenay surmised, as Shion
and Morrigan had entered the ring; Morrigan and Shaed embraced tightly as
Shion knelt down beside the prone Undertaker.

"Mark...?" Shion said. "Mark, are you all right? Are you--"

Mark suddenly sat up, startling Shion somewhat.

"I'm fine," he muttered.

"Undertaker's on his feet..." Lilith said. "Now what's gonna
happen...?"

Shaed looked up at Mark and walked towards him with a smile, Morrigan
followed close behind.

"Hell of a match..." Shaed told Mark. "I was honored to have fought
someone of your caliber." With that, he crossed his arms before his chest
and bowed his head... but hesitated when Mark shook his head, then held
out his hand towards "the Revenant."

"Congratulations..." Mark said simply. "You've come full circle, now."

Shaed dropped his hands back to his sides, then nodded as he accepted
Mark's hand, shaking it firmly.

The crowd cheered as Mark help up Shaed's arm in victory.

"A positive end to an extraordinary match..." JR uttered.

"Oh, yeah! Looks like there's gonna be some celebrating at the ol'
homestead tonight!" Lilith paused as she glanced at the Trinitron. "Man,
and look who just joined the party..."

Upon the giant screen, staring down at the ring was none other than the
owner of the WWF himself... Mr. Vince McMahon, a smile stretched across
his face. "Du Hast" suddenly faded out.

"Oh, no..." Mark said, fearing the worst.

"Tremendous match-up!" McMahon replied. "And congratulations on your win,
Shaed Bloodgrave! Such a victory would make me want to sign you up to the
WWF!"

The audience booed as Shaed flexed an eyebrow. Smirking, he walked to a
ring corner and picked up a wireless mic.

"A tempting offer, Mr. McMahon..." he said. "Your roster possesses quite
an array of competition... and the thought of challenging 'Stone Cold'
Steve Austin sounds too good to pass up! But I must decline your offer
upon the simple fact that I don't like tyrants!"

"Yeah!!" Lilith cheered with everyone else in the arena as JR laughed...
McMahon's smile quickly faded.

"Fine... be that way, Mortis!" snarled McMahon; being called "Mortis"
surprised Shaed somewhat. "If you want to remain here and waste your
talents, that's fine by me!"

"'Mortis...?!'" Shaed repeated... then he turned toward Mark. "Why'd he
call me 'Mortis?!'"

"He does that a lot with me and the others back up at the satellite,"
Mark explained. "You get used to it, eventually."

"Well, Master of Pain..." McMahon called Mark. "I hope you've had your
fun tonight, because it ends now!"

The fans booed loudly as Shaed, Morrigan, Shion, and Mark stared up at
McMahon on the Trinitron.

"Not. Likely." Shaed retorted simply... the cheers started once more with
his words. "This is 3A Country, Vince! Not WWF Country! If Mark wants to
stay here and spend some time with this fine young lady..." he gestured
towards Shion. "... then he should be allowed to do so!"

"Not a chance!" sneered McMahon, then turned to something off-camera.
"Rocky! Lock-on to Calloway and send him back to the SoN!"

"Sure thing, boss!" Rocky Maivia's voice could be heard off in the
distance.

After a moment, however, Mark remained in the ring.

"Rocky, did you push the right button?!" asked McMahon. "Calloway's still
there!!"

"The Rock pushed the right button, boss!" Rocky answered. "And the
equipment all checks out!"

"Then why is--" McMahon stopped, his eyes fixed on Morrigan. "...
You...!"

"Will you look at that..." JR finally spoke up.

Lilith grinned. "Yeah, way to go, oneechan!"

The diamond-shaped goddess marking on her forehead was glowing a bright
green as the Goddess of the Dimensional Gateways barred McMahon's
transporter from working. Smiling widely, Shaed handed the mic to
Morrigan.

"So dreadfully sorry..." she said. "But even the power ye've stolen
cannae match the power of a goddess! It looks like Mark's going tae be
stayin' a while!"

The crowd roared with cheers as McMahon was fuming.. Mark then took hold
of the mic.

"Don't worry, boss..." he said. "I'll be back... I'm not going to let
Kevin, Bret, and Eric suffer alone... it's just time for me to take a
little vacation, is all." He looked at Shion with a smirk. "And one
thing's for sure... tonight, I won't rest... in... peace..." And the
arena cheered approvingly.

"Ha ha ha... YEAH!!" Lilith shouted as "Undertaker's Theme" cued up.
"Shion and Mark're gonna get lucky! I love it!!"

"The Undertaker may have lost the match, but it looks like he's won
something much more important!" said Tenay.

"We're outta time, ladies and gentlemen!" JR announced. "Thank you for
joining us tonight! For Mike Tenay, Lilith Aensland, and Clarice
Ferguson, wherever she may be... this is Jim Ross sayin' 'Good night,
everybody!'"

The closing scene shown was of Mark helping Shion out of the ring in a
gentlemanly fashion as Morrigan walked down the steel steps, Shaed
slingshooting off the top rope and onto his feet at ringside.

Just as the cameras fade out, Lilith can be heard asking no one in
particular.

"Hey, wouldn't screwing Mark be considered necrophilia?"

And thus ends my first House Show...

C&C are always welcome... let me know how I did and all... if I did
something wrong, point it out to me, so it'll help me in making my next
House Show better than the last! ^_^

Thanks goes out to Alicia and Tim for the support, Mike Surbrook for the
use of Shion, Jamie Jeans for being so understanding when I forgot to ask
to use his characters (^_^;), the WWF and Acclaim Sports for putting out
WWF Warzone... it was an invaluable resource for any wrestling moves I
didn't know the names of, Tecmo for putting out Dead Or Alive... Kasumi's
Hawk's Phantom and Hayabusa's Swinging DDT and his Skyward Shot +
Divebomber (Position Shift Suplex) were used in Shaed's arsenal, Midway for
making WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game, where I got most of the
Undertaker's plot contrived powers, and finally special thanks goes out to
all who supported me!
Until next time...

"Yeah, it proves just how much of a class act Ankoku really is..." Blink
lovingly sighed. "Too bad he's taken... all the best catches're taken.
It's just not fair." Blink sighed once more, this time out of despair.
"Hmm... Alex's cute..."

Quick Note: The Undertaker that was featured here was sometime before the
Jan. 11th taping of Raw Is War, when the Undertaker became a cult leader of
some kind... O_o Just wanted to clear that puppy up... ^^
