Eric Hardy: Welcome back this week fans. We have quite a show in front of us, should be packed full of action.
Kelly Fox: You got that straight Hardy. Should be one hell of a show.
Eric Hardy: First off we have two guys ahead that have had cross words for each other the past couple of weeks, and they're both looking for the big win here.
Kelly Fox: Chris “Big Daddy” Cruise versus Sexy Jason from The Empire, should be a good one.
{"Wherever I May Roam" echoes throughout the arena as the Punisher makes his way to the ring. He climbs in amidst a mixture of boos and cheers. He grabs the mic and begins to speak as his music dies out."}
Eric Hardy: What is he doing out here?
Kelly Fox: With Punisher, there is no telling.
Punisher: You know, the last few weeks, I have kind of gotten lost in the shuffle a little bit. Adam and I dropped the tag titles to the Hollands, and nCw has forgotten that the Punisher even exists. Well, I am here to tell you that I do exist, Leonard Fox. I am alive and well, and I have some things I need to get off my chest.
First of all, Adam Knite, I know you are listening back there. Brother, we have been up and down the roads together, but its just not working out. You came back to win Kelly back, and that's cool. I understand. For the love of a woman, men will do anything. You don't owe me anything, and vice versa. So, move on with your life and do what makes you happy.
Karnage and Boppo. I got a big question for the two of you. Where the hell were you guys when I could have used you in my match against Lance Ryan. It wasn't Karnage who came in to help. It wasn't Boppo either. It was freaking Spike Kane. Who the hell would have thought that? So to you two, I say, who the hell needs you? I am walking away from the AoV with a clear concious and on to bigger and better things. Which brings me to my next announcement.
Back to you, Leonard Fox. You have tried to bury me into oblivion here in the nCw. Booking me in matches you hoped I would fail in. You booked me against Lance Ryan. That was a win. You booked me this week against Christian Kane, Phillip Burns and Mike Awesome. I won't fail tonight. I believe you have made it your mission to not only end my career, but to make my career a joke. But all I got to say to that is, to steal a phrase, "EH HUH!" Not on my watch brother! You see, I have found someone who loathes you as much as I do. I have found someone as deviously mishievious as me. And that person is none other than:
{"Enter Sandman" begins to echo throughout the arena as the crowd pops for Chris Cruise. He appears at the top of the ramp and makes his way to the ring. He climbs into the ring and gives the Punisher a hug. The music dies down as Cruise begins to speak.}
Chris Cruise: That's right folks. The dynamic duo is back together. Tonight is a new beginning for Punisher and Cruise. Tonight is a new beginning for you to Leonard Fox. You think you had a hard time just running your company before. Now that Pun and I are back together, it's going to be hell!! Tonight, is a new beginning for DEVASTATION INCORPORATED!
{The crowd erupts as the two men stand with their hands in the air. The crowd starts to chant "DEV-A-STA-TION! CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP! DEV-A-STA-TION! CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP!”}
The Punisher: And to the rest of nCw, remember that Devastation Incorporated doesnt play well with others!! If we want you to play with us, we will invite you! If you stick your nose where it doesn't belong, we will make you pay. And if you ain't down with that, just test me sucka!
{The crowd erupts as the Punisher leaves the ring and Cruise gets ready for his match. “I'm too Sexy” hits the PA System as “The Sexy One” Makes his way to the ring. Jason is being booed because of his Empire alignment however it doesn't seem to bother him as he slides under the bottom rope soaking in the boos. The ref rings the bell and the match is under way.}
Eric Hardy: Sexy Jason is here and ready to go, lets get this thing started.
{Sexy Jason as soon as the bell rings goes after Cruise but Cruise sides steps a clothesline attempt and Jason hits nothing but air. Cruise clubs Jason in the back of the neck which sends him forwards into the turnbuckles. Cruise steps back and charges into the corner but Jason turns away and sends Cruise flying in chest first. Sexy Jason climbs tot he second rope and waits for Cruise to get vertical again after holding his chest. Cruise finally does and Sexy comes flying off with a big clothesline that puts Cruise down to the mat. Sexy Jason jumps to his feet and plays to the crowd showing of his muscles for a second to the sounds of their boos. Jason waves his hand telling them “forget you” before he turns his attention back to Cruise. Jason bends over to pull Cruise to his feet but takes a punch right to the throat for his effords and Cruise rolls over and back to his feet. Jason looks at him just long enough for Cruise to nail a huge clothesline that puts Jason to the mat this time! Jason rolls over onto his stomach and then springs to his feet just in time for Cruise to grab him around the waist and belly to belly suplex him over his head, but no! Sexy Jason spins through and lands on his feet! Jason turns and waits for Cruise to get to his feet. As soon as Cruise turns to face Jason he gets a kick in the abdoman and then gets hit with double arm DDT! Jason covers Cruise and the ref counts 1...2..*Cruise barely gets a shoulder off the ground!*
Eric Hardy: Wow I thought this match was over.
Kelly Fox: It was close.
{Sexy Jason pulls Cruise to his feet but takes several quick jabs in the stomach which makes him take a couple steps back. Cruise bounces off the ropes and comes back with a spinning neck breaker but Jason blocks it and puts Cruise on his back. Cruise though immediately rolls over onto his feet and is back up. Just then out of nowhere Christian Kane runs out from backstage. Punisher sees him and goes to meet him before he can have an effect on the match.}
Kelly Fox: What in the blue hell is Christian doing out here?!
Eric Hardy: No doubt he's up to no good., but Punisher is cutting him off at the pass.
{Inside the ring Jason has just been leveled by a big boot from Cruise after being irish whipped. Cruise sees Christian trying to get in the ring from the apron and Punisher trying to pull him off. Christian manages to kick punisher in the face, but as soon as he does Cruise decks him with a huge right hand that sends him flying to the floor, Chris doesn't see Sexy Jason getting back up though and Jason school boys him, Jason grabs a hand full of Cruise's tights and the ref counts 1.....2....3! Winner: Sexy Jason! Punisher and Christian are brawling it out on the outside still and Sexy Jason decides to help his leader. Security rushes back from backstage and tries to separates everybody.}
Eric Hardy: Well the Empire manages to steal another win. We'll see you after these commercial breaks fans as we try and clean up this mess!
{{Commercial Break}}
Eric Hardy: We're back and it's time for another great match, two who have been very promising to the future of nCw “The Ace” and Richard “TXO” Marciano
{As the opening guitar plays, the Xtremetron shows the silhouette of a woman with her hair blowing across her face and holding a playing card between the forefingers of her right hand, she flips it over in her fingers to reveal the Ace Of Spades, the symbol grows out of the card and gets larger with every repetition of the opening chords until it envelops the screen. Huge flame pyros explode either side of the ramp as cards begin to fall from the rafters. The lyrics to 'You Know My Name' by Chris Cornell begin as The Ace appears on stage. The Xtremetron shows The Ace superkick Kuroi off the bridge and crash through the spanish announce table but as he does so his image evaporates into many spade symbols...}
If you take a life, do you know what you give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I've deceived?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line...
{The Ace walks down through the shower of falling cards as the XtremeTron shows Spike Kane and Doc receiving Ace-Plants. Tara Fenix is shown receiving a Russian Roulette through the glass canvas and her image evaporates into spade symbols, out of the evaporation rises The Ace's bloody hand, grasping the X*Crown Championship...}
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
{The Ace gets to the foot of the ramp and the cards stop falling. He outstretches his arms, and struts over to the steel steps. He climbs them and then asks the referee to part the ring ropes for him as The Ace steps through them. He walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope...}
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name...
{The Ace raises his arms...}
If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change the game that we've all been playing...
{The Ace climbs down an he walks to the middle of the ring and the song fades...}
Eric Hardy: Ace is out and looks ready for what promises to be a good match.
Kelly Fox: Yeah “good” only good thing about it will be watching Marciano have his arse handed to him.
{Walk by Kilgore blares over the load speakers and you see TXO emerge from the curtin with his arms high in the air. Walking slapping some of the fans hands. When he gets to steps he walks up them and climbs the turnbuckle raises one arm in the air then climbs down and goes between the ropes and walks to far corner and cracks his neck and bounces from his left foot to his right foot until the ref sounds the bell. }
Kelly Fox: Well TXO looks a little too happy for a guy who's about to get destroyed.
Eric Hardy: I think he'll do a little better then you think he will.
Kelly Fox: Whatever you think.
{The match begins with Ace and Marciano pacing each other around the ring. The finally meet in the middle with a test of strength lock up. The Ace appears to take the early advantage in this struggle pushing TXO back arching his back. With the cheers of the funs behind him Marciano is able to fight back and pushes himself back up the veritcal base, however just as he does The Ace double crosses the test and drives a knee into the chest of Marciano. Ace immediately afterwards lifts Marciano off his feet onto his shoulders and then drops him to the mat with a spinning somoan drop! Ace gets to his feet and bounces off the ropes coming back and driving a knee into the forehead of The Xtreme One. The fans are booing the Ace but it's having no effect as he goes back to work on Richard marciano, locking him up in an armbar, locking his legs around the neck of Marciano. TXO is struggling as he's finding it harder and harder to breathe.}
Kelly Fox: It's over here Marciano is about to tap.
Eric Hardy: You could be right, The Ace is a very capable technician.
{The Ace is holding the hold in tight as TXO is struggling hitting Ace's legs and trying to bare force The Ace off his throat but to no avail. Marciano finally manages to get his hand and arm between Ace's legs and the mat and push Ace's legs off his throat, then wrestles his arm free and pushes the Ace's legs off of him. Ace immediately rolls over and climbs to his feet. Marciano is on all fours trying to catch his breath but doesn't have time as Ace kicks him right in the forehead that sends TXO onto his knees holding his face. Ace goes behind Marciano and pulls back on on his head raking his eyes then shoves him back down to the mat. Afterwards Ace pulls Marciano to his feet by the back of his head Marciano fights it off with several blows that send him Ace rocking for a moment before the Ace finally blocks a blow and hits a stiff kick then European uppercuts Marciano once again putting him on the mat.}
Kelly Fox: Marciano just can't get anything going at the moment.
Eric Hardy: Sure can't, he's got to do something though otherwise Ace is about to walk away from this match with a W.
Kelly Fox: We can only hope.
{Ace pulls Marciano to his feet and throws him into the corner back first. Ace runs and splashes Marciano who staggers back out of the corner, Ace hits him with a running bull dog immediately afterwards and covers TXO. 1....2...*Marciano kicks out* Marciano rolls over on his stomach and begins pulling himself up using the ropes as soon as The Ace climbs off. The Ace approaches Marciano but as soon as he gets close TXO falls to the mat and kicks Ace's legs out from under him sending Ace throat first into the top rope. Ace comes of holding his neck and Marciano appears to get a second wind as he jumps to his feet and clotheslines The Ace to the mat. Ace jumps back up but Marciano is ready and overhead belly to belly suplexes him for getting up. TXO springs to his feet and the crowd erupts as he holds out his arms and spins, he readies himself for The Ace to stand to his feet when suddenly out of nowhere Adam Knite is at ringside! He reaches in and grabs the foot of the TXO. Marciano turns and jaws at Knite and the ref reaches over the rope signaling for Knite to leave.}
Eric Hardy: What is your freaking boy friend doing out here!?
Kelly Fox: Hey Marciano screwed him over last week, and now he's returning the favor.
Eric Hardy: Come on Kelly, get real.
{Marciano turns around and is met with a lowblow by Ace, Ace steps back and nails the FameAcer! The crowd is booing as Ace covers TXO. The ref turns around and counts 1...2...3! The crowd erupts in boos}
Eric Hardy: Marciano was just screwed out of this match. He looked primed to pick up the win and suddenly Adam Knite had to inject himself into this match.
Kelly Fox: Just evening out the playing field in my eyes.
{{Commercial Break}}
{The scene opens in the locker room of the newly formed tag team of Spike Kane and Reckless Jack. Spike has the World title slung over his shoulder, and RJ has the X-Division title slung over his. They seem to be conversing.}
Spike: Yeah I know man. Last week was just bad, I mean that little punk Drabble...
RJ: Hey, don't worry about it. You know he has been released due to performance enhancers. He is no longer a concern of mine, or yours.
Spike: I know, I know. We have a bigger issue tonight. We have to take on Lance Ryan's little rag tag team of misfits and wanna-bes.
RJ: I know, but...it's not just us. It's not just the brothers taking them on.
Spike: I know. On our side we have none other than the Xtreme Champion, Davey Ortega. Think we can trust him?
RJ: You know man I really don't know. I mean, with the who ''War'' he has been ranting on about and.....
{RJ stops mid sentence looking over Spikes shoulder. Spike gives RJ a weird look as RJ just nods at him, motioning him to look behind him. Spike does, and the camera pans out a little more to show Davey Ortega with the Xtreme title slung over his shoulder. Davey just smiles.}
Davey: Trust? Trust...? Let me see. You want to know if you can trust me? Well, allow me to refresh your memory....the both of yours. Who was it that...that blindsided me at Mind Games? Who was it that stabbed me in the back..and took my own stable from me? That would be you, Spike. And who was it that betrayed NWS to team up with the man who dropped The Empire after he took it from me? That would be you...Reckless Jack. As I stand..I'm the only one that hasn't back stabbed somebody.
Spike: You know Davey about that....
Davey: I don't care. I don't care what you have to say or what excuse you have. You see, NWS is dead..and The Empire is becoming more useless everyday. As far as I am concerned I won my war. Now my quest can continue.
Spike: Quest? What quest?
Davey: For the nCw World Title. For..you're nCw World Title. Oh thats right Spike..I'm coming for you. I know the rest of the roster is too, but think about it. Think long and hard. The rest of the roster isn't me.
RJ: Maybe we should concentrate on the task at hand, Ortega.
Davey: Task? Oh thats right, Lance Ryan and his ragamuffins. Look, The World Champion, The Xtreme Champion, and The X-Division Champion on one team. Three Champions on one team. The best of the best. What do they have?
Spike: Lance Ryan.
Davey: And....
RJ: Everyman, and Dirtmurder.
Davey: Yeah...intimidating. Look. We just go out there, kick their asses, and be down with it. This isn't a start of some wonderful kick ass team. After this match, this one and only match when we have to work together..I am coming for you Spike. Because there is the rest of the roster, and there is...me.
{Davey and Spike enter a stair down, as Davey slowly starts to leave. A few seconds later Freya Kane enters the room.}
Freya: Damn he's cute.
{Spike glances Freya a look as she just shrugs, and we are taken back to ringside}
"This Dark Day" by Twelve Stones hits the speakers, the lights flash in time with the drums, and as the song kicks in, Christian Kane walks out onto the rampway. He stands their soaking in the cheers and boos and poses, before sprinting to the ring, sliding into the ring and jumping to his feet. He climbs the turnbuckle arms extended as he shows off his physique.
Kelly Fox: Christian looks at horrible as he always does.
Eric Hardy: Regardles of your opinion of him, Christian Kane showed he could be a champion here last week, when he pushed Ortega to his limits.
Kelly Fox: He Still Lost!!!
Let’s take you back to last week match between Ortega and Christian!
" ( A Video is shown of the X-Treme Title Match from the last week)
Steve Awesome Music is already playing as he made his way to the ring.
Kelly Fox: Did we have to show a video of Christian? We just missed Steve Awesome Entrance!
The opening of "With the Fire" by Fozzy blares over the PA system and the fans begin the cheer loudly. A spotlight shines on the stage with an orange glow as Philip Burns is being raised from a hidden hole in the stage. When he is fully raised the song picks up as he throws his hands in the air to pose for the audience in attendance. A camera zooms in on his face and he points to it and winks at the people at home. He walks to the ring and up the steps before getting in.
He walks to the center of the ring and the song suddenly cuts out and so does the lights. After a moment a huge spotlight comes up on him and he is in the same signature pose. He stands there for a moment until the lights come back on and the spotlight fades.
Kelly Fox: There’s The Burning, I mean Phillip Burns, god his friend show is so horrible.
Eric Hardy: What about Outside The Ropes?
Kelly Fox: Trent is cool, his wife, not so much.
The arena darkens and fog begins to fill the arena entrance as "Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica begins to echo throughout the arena. A strobe light begins to flicker, slowly at first, then speeds up with the tempo of the music. Suddenly, there is a loud explosion as a pyro goes off and beyond the flash, the Punisher stands at the top of the stage. He makes his way down to the ring as he gets ready for his match."
Eric Hardy: This man is my favorite to win this match.
Kelly Fox: He has been impressive lately, even getting a win over Lance Ryan a few weeks ago.

Eric Hardy: I wish no one had to take a move like that.

{{Commercial Break}}
{After the commercial we are backstage where Christian looks furious inside the Empire's locker room. Ace, Sexy Jason and the other members are staring at him as he tips over a table.}
The Ace: What is your problem?
Christian Kane: Didn't you just see me lose out there!? Where were you guys, come on this is the Empire we should be in control of nCw right now.
The Ace: You know what, I'm sick of this team.... and I'm sick of taking orders from you. Your brother was a leader we could respect, you... you're nothing more then some yapping talking head..... I'm out of here.
{Christian is in shock as Ace walks out the door.}
Christian Kane: Hey, you better get your arse back here!
{Christian is even more furious as he throws a lamp against the wall}
We come back from this back inside the arena, as we are getting ready for the next match; the lights throughout the arena go black, the arena plunging into complete darkness.
Kelly Fox: What is with people and always having total darkness before they come out?
Eric Hardy: Maybe there just tired of seeing your face.
Kelly Fox: Whatever!
Finally the nCw-Tron begins to spring to life, as thousands upon thousands of stars are shown, finally the planet earth. The screen begins to shake as the image of earth begins to fade, as if the screen was a ship going thru space, showing the other planets in our solar system, it continues past the last planet, showing other made up things in space including a death star, and Halo....finally the screen goes blank and a unknown voice is heard.
1500 years ago, everyone knew that the Earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everyone knew that the Earth was flat. 15 minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet...Imagine what you'll "know" tomorrow.
The first few opening beats of the Perfect Cell theme by Funimation begin to play, before Final Countdown by Europe begins to play.
We're leaving together...but still it's Farwell...~
~And maybe we'll come back...to Earth, who can tell?~
A few dark blue lights begin to appear near the entrance way, as does a trail of Dog. When suddenly a rumbling is heard, as the lights begin to move, as if they were on a platform, that begins to lower towards the stage.
