Adding More Pieces to the Butch Match
Written by: Neil, Paul, and Josh

The Violation video package begins to play as the Premiere Wrestling Alliance is LIVE! With each drum beat shows a power move from one wrestler onto another. Fire with a belly-to-belly suplex on Dan Manheim. Kaito with a bitch slap to Tom Fury. Tom Fury nailing Brad Kane in the face with a chair shot. Captain Howdy with a submission hold on the bleeding Jake Keeton. Jason Sandman putting the Commissioner through a flaming table. Nighthawk hitting a release suplex on Alex Legend. Jostrodomus with a #1 Stunner on Jack Gaither. And Terminus defeating Captain Howdy for the PWA World Heavyweight Championship.

Franks: What a show we have lined up for you tonight, folks! One week away from Redemption II! The main event features the possibly friendly pairing of Captain Howdy and Jiraiya Kaito against Filth & Fury.

Quadros: I can’t wait to get started, Carl. I want to see what develops between Howdy and Terminus over the PWA World Heavyweight Championship. Plus there’s this thing between Brad Kane and Tom Fury with Matt Filth involved.

Franks: Don’t forget Kaito and Aiden Miles sparring words over the Premiere Championship. This is gonna be a great show…

"I'm not Jesus" by Apocalyptica interrupts Carl Franks as The Angel of Death walks out from the back to a chorus of boos. The response from the crowd doesn't seem to bother him one bit as he rolls into the ring and snags a microphone.

Franks: Oh man, here comes Jason Sandman to torture the Commissioner again tonight I am sure.

Quadros: I’m not sure if Sandman is with us anymore, Carl.

The Angel: My children listen to me and know my words are true. Hell awaits those who mock the Lord, but on earth they will get a glimpse into the eyes of the flames. So if we could just skip the formalities of begging and pleading, Cortez, just come meet the man who will deliver you to your maker.

“Nutshell” by Alice in Chains begins to play as Commissioner Butcher steps out from the back to a mixed reaction. All dressed up in a black 3-piece suit, Butcher doesn’t hesitate to step into the ring. Freddy Ferdinand tosses him a microphone as the Commissioner stares down Jason Sandman.

The Butcher: Sandman, I mean…Angel…I hope you have given some thought to what the good Lord said to you last week. The plague of thumb tacks is just for starters or it could be all you face if you release my wife.

The Angel laughs at the comments of The Commissioner.

The Angel: On the contrary Cortez, you’re only reminding more than ever why I must take your soul across the River Styx and you only gave me another week to think about what I would use in order to destroy the frail frame you have become.

The Commissioner glares at Angel, who apparently was not impressed by the raining thumb tacks last week.

The Butcher: So, you got what you wanted, Angel. Me at Redemption II in a Butch Match. In return, I ask you to release my wife!

The Angel: And people believe that with age, wisdom grows. You still think this has anything to do with getting you in The Butch match. No my son this goes much farther than some match to prove who's greater. No this goes much farther than your mind can even begin to comprehend.

The Butcher: Oh I comprehend, Angel. I understand it all. It is YOU who doesn’t understand because it is only through flesh and blood that you truly live and are remembered. You may call my form “frail” and weak, but it is your host which makes you weak, Angel. Of all the people to have chosen, Jason Sandman was the best you could find. What remains of Sandman will lead to your defeat at Redemption II. This I am sure of.

Now, if you are so sure of yourself and victory over me, release my wife. She has nothing to do with this!

The Angel: But she has everything to do this. As I move her to the left your eyes can't help, but follow. As she goes to the right your hands can't help but reach out to her. As she falls on her face, your heart can't help, but drop. Cortez she has everything to do with this because in all honesty she is your soul.

The Butcher: Then I will take her from you…

The Commissioner drops the microphone to the canvass with a loud thud as he clenches two fists, ready to trade blows with The Angel. Angel drops the microphone as well as they get ready for a pre-Redemption II beat down!

Then all of a sudden “Enemy” kicks up as the crowd pops. Out comes the “#1 Stunner” Jostrodomus to a nice ovation. The two men in the ring stop before any blows are thrown as Jostrodomus begins making his way down to the ring.

Jostrodomus: Hold up! You wouldn’t dare start a fight unless the #1 Stunner in the middle of it!

The crowd pops again as Jostrodomus slides into the ring. Calmer heads begin to prevail as Jostrodomus stands in between the two men.

The Butcher: What the Hell do you want, Joz?

Jostrodomus: Now, now, now, Butch, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal, You really need to calm yourself down and think things through. All of this isn’t good for your heart much less your chin if you want me to remind you of what happened last week. You should really listen to what your opponent is saying because a lot of it is true.

The Butcher: None of it is true! He is a liar, a kidnapper, and soon to be in traction! I can’t believe you’re going to back up anything he has said. Let’s just drop this thing between you and me and take care of Angel, just like old times.

Jostrodomus: Old times, Butch? Those are long gone. You aren’t the same man anymore. The Butcher I knew wouldn’t ask me for help to take Sandman out. The Butcher I knew wouldn’t screw me over against Nighthawk or Filth & Fury. So that’s proof alone that he is right on the money. You surround yourself with weak minded worthless sons a bitches James and you become one. Then again, you always were one.

The Angel: Then leave us be Joz. The world is better off without the soul of Cortez wondering the earth, and it might be perfect without any Grumpy Old Men.

Jostrodomus: I agree with your cause, Angel. The world would be better off without this giant piece of human feces. This man has all ready proven he will abuse his power to secure a victory and do what his newly found friends pray for. That is why I am offering my assistance. As a man to cut through his bullshit. To make sure all is fair in this war while he can dictate the circumstances. You will need the #1 Stunner as this match’s #1 special guest referee! You know it...I know...I'm the one son of a bitch that doesn't give a rats ass what the BOD says, what Jimmy The Butcher Cortez says...I MAKE THE GOD DAMN RULES SANDMAN...

The crowd gives Jostrodomus a cheer as Commissioner Butcher starts shaking his head in anger.

The Butcher: Absolutely not! I know your fairness, Joz. Fair is you getting what you want and nothing else. You can back to PWA with an ax to grind and now you want to cash in. You will NOT be the special guest referee of our Butch Match!

The crowd starts to boo the Commissioner.

The Angel: What would make you think that I can trust you Joz. In the long history that you and Cortez share there have always been ups and downs, but in the end of the story you always seem to find each other once again and I am not one for love stories. I prefer tragedy.

Jostrodomus: There is only one tragedy that could happen at the end of this match, Angel. And that involves Butcher somehow surviving you because you didn’t handcuff his power over this match. I have no beef with you, Angel. I have no reason to double cross you but every reason to ensure the brutal treatment that this man receives on a fair and just basis as delivered by you. The only thing I want is to be right on that stage when the “great” Butcher finally gets what is coming to him such as he did years ago when I destroyed him in this very match. Who better to ref this type of match than a man who's been in more than anyone BUT THE BUTCHER HIMSELF...

The #1 Stunner and the Commissioner stare each other down with daggers in their eyes, showing the growing rift between the two former Grumpy Old Men members.

The Angel: Then stand on your stage and watch the death of a man take place, but don't concern yourself with matters that you have no place in for if you do I promise you that two souls will take the ferry ride.

The Butcher: Oh isn’t that just great! I love how you just think you can weasel yourself into this situation, Joz. But I’ll be a fair man just to prove your growing hatred of me won’t effect the outcome of this match. You want to be a special guest referee? Then prove it. You’re going to run a gauntlet, Joz. A Redemption II gauntlet of wrestlers. If you win, you can be the referee. But if you lose, the closest you’ll ever be to this Butch Match is watching it on television like everybody else!

Jostrodomus:*smiles* Put the order for the shirt in Butch...And throw a whistle in on the side in case I your ole' lady flashin' her rack at me again. Lords know I can't whistle for shit...Never could, but I tell ya what...I SURE AM A WONDERFUL....REFEREE.

The Butcher looks at Joz with anger in his eyes after the last comment.

The Butcher: Oh and Angel, since you won’t let my wife go, I have a little something for Jason Sandman’s #1 fan.

The Commissioner reaches into his pocket and pulls out two Redemption II tickets. The Angel of Death doesn’t seem to be too interested in a free promotion.

The Butcher: In my hand are two front row tickets to Redemption II for a special someone out there. I was going to give these to anybody but now that you want to continue to make things personal, Angel, I am going to send these two tickets out. They will be going to a little girl in Norfolk, Virginia. A special little girl by the name of Brandi Sandman.

Yes, the “daughter” of Jason Sandman will be in the front row at Redemption II to cheer on her favorite wrestler in the most brutal match of all time. And that night she will witness him being destroyed by a man who will give her restless nightmares for the rest of her life: The Butcher.

The Angel just claps.

The Angel: Congratulations Cortez, you may have sunk to a new low. For that I have a present for you.

The Angel reaches into his pocket and pulls out a vial.

The Angel: You named your pit, now you will drown in mine. Burn for your sins in holy water.

The Butcher: Your water will do nothing to me.

The Angel: Maybe not, but just to make sure.

The Angel knocks the cap off the vial and throws the liquid in The Butcher's face causing instant screams to come from the mouth of The Commisioner. The Angel laughs before he flips out the ring. As he gets to the bottom of the ramp The Angel turns around and smiles.

The Angel: Feel the burn. Your wife is in your office feeling the same pain you currently are.

The Commissioner continues to roll around on the ring in immense pain as he holds his face. Jostrodomus stares down at his one time friend and shakes his head before leaving the ring and heading over to the announce table for one last comment.

Jostrodomus: You know Jimmy...I shouldn't have ever refused that offer she gave me years ago...Could have been a wild ride if you know what I mean.

With those comments Joz turns and heads back up the ramp as Franks and Quadros weigh in on the situation.

Franks: What the Hell was that?!

Quadros: I don’t know, Carl. I’ve never seen holy water burn like that before. It’s freakin’ eating his suit away. Imagine what it’s doing to his face! I can’t even imagine that being the second pit, whatever it is.

The Commissioner continues to writhe in pain as EMTs begin running down to the ring. Jostrodomus just looks back with out a care in the world and a smile across his face.

Victor Jace & Jack Gaither vs. Aiden Miles & Jason Sandman
Written by: Neil

Premiere Champion, Aiden Miles, stepped out from the back to a nice round of applause. He’s starting to earn some fans which his change in attitude. Perhaps his luck can change this week. Then the crowd instantly changed to boos as Jason Sandman came out with a dead cold stare in his eye. The two teammates for the night stood in the ring with Miles trying to come up with a game plan but Sandman was unresponsive.

Once again the crowd began to cheer as Jack Gaither and Samantha Teague came out from the back and waved out to the crowd. A shot of Board members Demitre Lionheart and Wren Chesney were shown up in a skybox giving Gaither the middle finger. Then their man, the returning Victor Jace, with Xander, came out to a loud chorus of boos. Just like their opponents tonight, this team didn’t seem to have a game plan either.

Referee Sheppard called for the bell to get this match underway. Sandman stood there, transfixed, leaving Aiden Miles no chance to argue with him who would start. Miles head to the apron and threw his hands up in frustration. Gaither and Jace argued back and forth who would start and damn near came to blows. That was until Gaither pushed Victor Jace into Sandman and headed out of the ring.

The collision angered Jason Sandman as he began to take things out on Victor Jace with some stiff closed fist punches to the face. Belly-to-belly suplex by Sandman led to a 2-count. Sandman whipped Victor Jace into a neutral corner and ran in with a head of steam, pancaking the ‘Veteran of Violence’. Jace wobbled out of the corner, straight into a high angle slam by Sandman. Another cover…1...2...THR…KICK OUT!

Sandman yanked Victor Jace up into a vertical suplex and held him there. Jace found himself upside down for quite some time until his face turned red. Sandman then sat-out with a brain buster that made Xander wince with pain on the outside. Another cover by Sandman…1...2...THR…and NO! Jack Gaither came in and made the save for some reason. Apparently he wants to win this match.

Gaither didn’t want anything to do with Sandman though, maybe he didn’t want to win the match after all. Just wants Victor Jace to get beat up some more. Jace is whipped into a corner with authority and this time Sandman comes in with a high forearm to the face. Aiden Miles asks for a tag in and doesn’t get one. So instead, he forced Sandman to tag out by slapping him across the back.

In comes Aiden Miles as the disgruntled Sandman heads for the apron. Snapmare out of the corner by the Premiere Champion and a follow up drop kick to the back of Victor Jace’s head! Cover…1...2...KICK OUT! Wheelbarrow German suplex by Aiden Miles as he was starting to feel a little froggy. To the top turnbuckle the Premiere Champion went, jumping off with a frog splash on top of Victor Jace! Cover! 1!…2!…THRE…NO! Gaither makes the save again and heads towards the apron just to watch Jace continue to get beat up.

Victor Jace seems to be having a rough night as Miles applies a British Figure Four. Jace tries to reach for the ropes but he’s in the middle of the ring. He looks like he could tap here…nope! Xander hops up onto the ring apron and starts calling Aiden Miles a male prostitute. Says he’s only Premiere Champion because he sleeps with referees…all of them in PWA! Referee Sheppard seems to take offense to this and tells Xander to head backstage. Xander refuses! Aiden Miles gets up and knocks Xander off of the ring apron with a drop kick to send him packing! Aiden Miles seems satisfied and dusts himself off as Xander heads backstage holding his jaw. Miles turns around and Victor Jace catches him with a spear! Follow up Fall-away slam by Jace and a cover! 1!…2!…THR…KICK OUT!

The tired out Victor Jace tags out to Jack Gaither. In comes Gaither as he and the Premiere Champion tussle back and forth. Headlock applied by Gaither but he gets pushed off towards the ropes. Off he comes with a Thesz press, pounding away on Aiden Miles as Samantha Teague is cheering loudly. He picks up Miles and drops him with a vertical suplex. To the top turnbuckle goes Gaither as he looks for a moonsault…NO! He loses his balance after Victor Jace of all people starts rocking the ropes back and forth! Talk about sabotaging your own partner!

Aiden Miles takes advantage of Gaither having the turnbuckle stuck between his legs. Miles climbs up top and tosses Gaither across the ring with a top turnbuckle frankensteiner! Cover by Miles…1...2...THRE…KICK OUT! The Premiere Champion is feeling it now as he pulls up Gaither and looks for a springboard Stunner…NO sir! Jack Gaither powers Miles off of him and pushes the Premiere Champion down to the floor below! Jack Gaither capitalizes now with a Asai moonsault that catches Aiden Miles off guard!

On the outside of the ring, Gaither has control of Miles against the barrier. Samantha Teague comes over and starts cheering on her man. Then Victor Jace comes over and grabs her from behind, wanting to cuddle a little bit. Gaither flies at Jace with a superman forearm blow that drops the man! Jack Gaither rolls Victor Jace into the ring and “politely” tags himself out by slapping Jace across the face!

With that, Jack Gaither and Samantha Teague head backstage, leaving Victor Jace to fend for himself. Jace yells back at them to help him out. That’s a no go as they wave back “good-bye”. Aiden Miles checks back into the ring with a springboard dropkick that turns Jace inside out! The Premiere Champion wants a big finish here as he whips Jace into the corner. He’s looking to go to the top turnbuckle with Jace…NO! Sandman has other plans as he punches Aiden Miles right in the face to tag himself in! So much for team work at all in this match!

Jason Sandman collects the stunned Victor Jace and hoists him up! First Born’s Demise!! The move plasters Victor Jace onto the mat with a Ganso Bomb. Cover!….ONE! TWO! THREE!!

Re-united In Pain
Written by: Neil

Commissioner Butcher is seen sliding down the hallway against the wall with winces of pain the entire way. His face is beat red after being burned by the “holy water” Jason Sandman threw into his face to start off the show. Huffing and puffing while trying to find his way to his office, nearby PWA workers look on in horror as their Commissioner is hardly in any position to continue running this show.

He comes towards his office and finds the door like it should not be: closed. He falls against the door in pain and blindness, using his body weight to push it open. As soon as he opens the door, all that can be heard down the hallway are screams of terror and agony from a woman. His wife, Nikki, is rolling in a wet puddle on the floor, covering her face in anguish. Like the Angel of Death had said, she was returned and doused with the same acidic holy water that burned the Commissioner to open the show.

The Butcher: My God…

The Commissioner quickly huddles over his wife and pulls her out of the holy water puddle, burning his own hands in the process. She continues to scream in pain as he holds her close.

Nikki: My eyes!…my eyes!

The Butcher: God damn it! Someone get some help! We need help!

Passersby huddle in the doorway to see what is going on while very few go to find some help. Mrs. Cortez continues to scream in pain as the burns upon her face and body become evident.

The Butcher: We’re going to get some help!…you’re going to be okay…I’m going to take you to a hospital………my God…

Mugs Hammerfist comes running into the room, pushing people out of the way as EMT workers try to huddle their way in. We fade to a commercial as Nikki Cortez continues to scream.

New Girl in Town
Written by: Neil & Craig

*A beautiful young woman is walking around backstage as she gets a few wandering eyes following her from behind. VCR is standing around, doing nothing much as he sees this woman and nearly trips over his own feet walking over to her.*

VCR: Heh-heh-hello? I've, um, never seen you before. Are you new to this company?

*She smiles as she kinda nods her head.*

Woman: Hi, I'm Freya Kane, Brad Kane's little sister.

VCR: Oh, you must of gotten all the looks in the family. Doh! I shouldn’t have said that!

*A small chuckle comes from Freya's mouth.*

Freya: It's alright. I won't hold it against you. So who exactly are you?

VCR: I…um…own this company…Yeah! I mean, no…I own part of it? My name… is…um…a …Vic… VICTOR CORNELIUS ROBERTS!!…Doh! Shouldn’t have said that so loud….

Freya: Nice to meet you Victor. We all get a little loud sometimes. So if you own part of this company, do you determine who gets what for a match?

VCR: I wish! If I had that power I’d have a match with you just so you could rough me up. You are like sex in a can…I mean…no! I didn’t say that!

*A confused look is on Freya's face as she doesn't quite know what to make of VCR at the moment.*

Freya: Erm... are you okay?

VCR: I…I, um, think so.

Suddenly, Mr. Roberts notices his pants are getting a bit tight. He looks down and finds himself pitching a happy tent over this nice woman. He quickly grabs himself with both hands to cover up, making it obvious what’s going on.

VCR: Uh…um…want to be my friend?!

*Freya looks down at his hands and begins to laugh.*

Freya: Well that's sweet but I'm already seeing someone.

VCR: So am I! Eh…We can still be friends, right? Hey, you wouldn’t happen to have an extra sock handy would you?

Mr. Roberts continues to play it off that he’s not a fully erect man.

Freya: Can't say I have an extra sock handy. You don't have to hide your boner. I'm not going to laugh at you. Others might but I won't.

VCR: Boner? Who’s got a boner?…I got to go!

Mr. Roberts scurries off making sure to slide against a nearby wall to hide the heat he is packing.

Freya: Uh, bye!

*As VCR leaves, Matt Filth walks up to Freya, a sadistic grin on his face.*

Matt Filth: Well, looky what we have ‘ere! Another Kane. Your faggot brother likes to stick his cock in people’s faces. If you’re interested, I’ll stick mine in yours.

Freya: Ew. Besides, I'm pretty sure you have to have a cock before it can get sucked.

Matt Filth: You little bitch! Come ‘ere! No one turns me down!

*Freya turns to leave as Filth grabs onto her arm. As she's about to scream for help, Brad Kane comes from nowhere to hit Matt Filth in the back of the head with a chair. His head smacks against the wall as Brad hits him a second time before dropping the chair.*

Brad Kane: Oh Matt, payback is a bitch right?

*He turns his attention towards Freya as she inhales, breathing hard.*

Brad Kane: No worries sis, he won't be bothering you for a while. So hey, feel like going to ringside tonight?

*Freya nods her head as they walk off, leaving Filth in a crumpled heap.*

Jostrodomus vs. Alex Legend
Written by: Josh

Franks; What a match up we have for you next ladies and gentlement. The young superstar Alex Legend taking on The Number One Stunner Jostrodomus.

Quadros: Legend is going to muder Joz. He's young and talented and the old man won't know what hit him.

Franks: You can't ever count out The Number One Stunner Carl, but Legend has been NOTHING BUT impressive since his debut in PWA. Looks like it's time to get this one underway.

"Enemey" by Sevendust blasts over the PA system as the fans start to cheer. Smoke fills the entrance way and Jostrodomus emerges from the smoke arms in the air, fist clinched, ready to fight. He walks down to the ring with that shit eating grin on his face that we've all become accustomed to and arrogantly gets into the ring as the fans continue cheering. He throws his arms in the air for one last firework show and pop from the fans before leaning against the ropes before the match starts.

Franks: And The Number One Stunner looks ready to fight here tonight ladies and gentlemen.

Quadros: For his life, but not his wife because she up and left him. Bastards lucky I never tapped it.

The lights in the arena dim and red strobes begin to flash as "Waking the Demon" by Bullet for my Valentine starts to blast throughout the arena. A few seconds later "The Absolute" Alex Legend steps out from behind the curtain with a sleeveless shirt, black bandana and Aviators on. He makes his way down to the ring slapping hands with the people along the guardrails. Legend slides under the bottom rope then gets on top of the turnbuckle and poses for the fans one last time before taking his entrance attire off.

Quadros: The Joz Killer is here!!!

Franks: This is going to be one hell of a match ladies and gents be sure to stay glued to your seats.

The match is underway as Joz tries to lock it up with Legend, but Legends opts for a different strategy and delivers a kick kick to the midsection of The Number One Stunner. Legend even with his age would have to be the more technical wrestler and shows it here as he gets around behind Joz and begins to wrench away at the elbow of The Number One Stunner as Joz tries to fight it off and eventually connects with a wild elbow that sends Legend stumbling backwards a few feet. Joz turning around quickly here but misses the clothesline. Legend bouncing off the ropes and connects with a cross body splash...Legend with the pin...1......2....and a kickout by Jostrodomus here in the early going.

Franks: Good series of moves here by Legend so far.

Quadros: Indeed it was and it's only going to get better.

Back in the ring Legend has picked Joz up to his feet and began to chop away at the now bright red chest of The Number One Stunner. Joz backed against the turnbuckle here as Legend continues to make his assault, but Jostrodomus able to reverse the assault as he throws legends up against the turnbuckles. Joz with his own series of knife edged chops now as the fans count along. Joz whipping Legend against the ropes now and connects with a clothesline as Joz's arch nemsis Wren Chesney makes her way down towards the ring. Joz going for the cover...1...........2......and Legend with the kickout. Joz picking him up and keeping his eye on Wren at the same time.

Franks: What the hell is she doing out here?!

Quadros: I don't know but I like it!

Back in the ring Joz lifts Legend up and connects with a vertical suplex, but instead of going for the cover opts to pick him back up which shows to be a costly mistake as Legend uses his speed advantage and slides underneath The Number One Stunner. Legend with a kick to the midsection as he whips Jostrodomus into the ropes...

Franks: HOW DID THE REF NOT SEE THAT?

Quadros: I love it I love it...I just really love that!

Wren throws some substance into the eyes of The Number One Stunner without the ref or Legend seeing what happened as Legend hits a drop kick. Joz bounces back to his feet quickly throwing wild blows as lLegend sizes him up...Legend with a kick to the midsection...AND CONNECTION....ALEX LEGEND HITS THE LEGEND KILLER ON THE # 1 STUNNER...HE COVERS...1...2.......3....

Franks: Legend with the Victory here and a big assist to Wren Chesney.

Quadros: He didn't even know it happened...He went with his instincts and his instincts said kick the living hell out of the biggest pain in the rear end in PWA history.

Franks: That he did. Legend with an impressive win the whole way through, really showing that he has what it takes to be one of the best in the business.

Quadros: Very well stated Carl. Legend was in control for much of the fight.

Franks: That he was...But nonethless ladies and gentlemen...ALEX LEGEND IS YOUR WINNER!!!

The Kaito Show
Written by: Jason

Cut to the backstage area where we find Miranda Buck standing by the interview section with microphone in hand. As soon as she feels she has the audience's attention, she proceeds to do her introduction.

Miranda Buck: Ladies and gentlemen... with me at this time is none other than the "Seiryuu"... Jiraiya Kaito!

The camera pans left to reveal the Seiryuu standing next to her, arms folded across his chest and looking away from her. Miranda turns to him to proceed with the rest of the interview.

Miranda Buck: Kaito... tonight, you team up with Captain Howdy to take on Matt Filth and Tom Fury. But last week, Aiden Miles challenged you to a match for his Premiere Championship at Redemption. What are your thoughts on that?

A chuckle escapes from the Seiryuu as he turns his head toward Miranda, but still doesn't look at her. Instead, he opts to look at the microphone.

Jiraiya Kaito: Eiden Mairusu,,, is stupid to issue challenge to "Seiryuu"... Jiraiya... Kaito. In fact, I should be one to challenge him. He is one who make big mistake by to allow his own ego prevent us from to win Taggu Macchi few weeks ago.

Now the Seiryuu opts to look up at Miranda.

Jiraiya Kaito: And why? Because I defeat him one week prior to Taggu Macchi? If he that upset over defeat, then he no deserve to hold title!

A mixed reaction erupts from the fans, mostly favoring the pop side. The Seiryuu then turns to face the camera.

Jiraiya Kaito: Eiden... you wrong to blame myself for you streak of loss. You... are only one to blame. You let title control you fate, and you suffer defeat after defeat after defeat. You not ready to hold that title.

The mixed reaction now has a fifty-fifty ratio.

Jiraiya Kaito: So to answer you question... hai. I accept you challenge.

And now the mixed reaction has dissipated in favor of a huge pop from the fans in attendance.

Jiraiya Kaito: So... Redemption. "Kaito Show" happen once again. I arrive without title. I face you, Eiden Mairusu, in ring for you title. I defeat you. And I leave Redemption... as Puremia Chanpion (trans: Premiere Champion)!

Another pop from the fans. The Seiryuu turns back to Miranda Buck.

Jiraiya Kaito: But tonight... Kaputen Haudii and "Seiryuu"... Jiraiya... Kaito... defeat both of Matto Firusu and Tom Fyurii once and for all!

He turns back to the camera.

Jiraiya Kaito: And then... I go to Redemption and defeat Eiden Mairusu for to take home Puremia Taitoru. Then all three of them finally learn how to fear... honor... and respect... "Seiryuu"... Jiraiya... Kaito!

And with that, he leaves the interview area. Miranda Buck watches on with concern as we cut for commercials.

No Show
Written by: unknown

Ray: Well, we are almost to our main event tonight and it appears that we haven't yet had a visit from our mysterious friend.

Carl: Shhhh....don't jinx it.

Ray: Hey, I'd kind of like to see him back.

Carl: Enough of that now, it's time for the next match up on tonight's phenomenal card.

Brad Kane vs. Terminus
Written by: Andrew

"In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty... handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."

The house lights go out in the arena as the opening of "Inhuman Creation Station" by CKY flares up. Strobe lights begin to go insane when the vocals blare out of the sound system as Brad Kane, PWA World Light Heavyweight Championship strapped around his waist, appears in the entry way with Megan at his side. Now Freya Kane follows out as well, waving out to the crowd. The crowd cheers seeing them as Brad inhales before he makes his way down the ring with Megan following him. A few hands get slapped but not many as once Brad is at ringside, he hops up on the ring apron as Megan goes up the stairs. The lights are back to normal as they enter the ring as he heads to the nearest turnbuckle and goes up to the middle buckle. He takes the World Light Heavyweight Title off of his waist, holding it up into the air as he looks out into the crowd. Some take pictures as he steps down, inhaling once more as he does the same thing on the other side of the ring. He then backs into the corner as Megan gives him a kiss good luck and the World Light Heavyweight Title before exiting the ring. Brad then waits for the match to begin as his entrance song fades off.

As "I Wear My Skin" starts to play over the sound system, the lights go dim, and the crowd rises to their feet to cheer as twin columns of red fireworks shower sparks the top of the stage . The lighting becomes a bit brighter, revealing the figures of Terminus and Natalie Snow standing at the top of the stage. Natalie acknowledges the crowd's cheering with a wide smile, while Terminus keeps his attention focused upon the ring as the couple makes their way down the ramp. As they reach the ring, the New Age Punisher whispers something into Natalie's ear that causes her smile to grow even wider, and turns toward the crowd, and draws his thumb across his throat in the ever-popular throat slash gesture. As Natalie makes her way to his corner to lend her support, he then slides under the bottom rope,and then crouches in his corner, awaiting the beginning of the match.

(The two competitors stare impassively at one another as they await the start of the match; the crowd breaks out into dueling chants of "Let's go Kane!", and "Terminus!" before cheering with one voice as Sasha Brown signals the timekeeper to ring the opening bell. )

*Ding! Ding! *

(Terminus and Kane circle the ring for a moment before lunging forward into a lock-up; after a couple of seconds spent jockeying for position, Kane is able to use his size advantage to drive his foe back into the nearest corner. Brown asks the Boston native to break clean, and BK complies with this request at the count of four. Terminus nods in acknowledgement, and then motions his rival forward so that the two can lock up once more. Kane obliges and another lock-up ensues; once, again, Kane is able to bull his opponent toward the ropes, but at the last moment, the masked man spins around, causing BK's back to touch the stands. The New Age Punisher cocks his right fist, and it looks for a moment as though he might try to gain an advantage with a punch off the break, but he steps back at the last moment with a slight grin apparent through his mask. Brad seems to take exception to this attempt to psyche him out, for he immediately steps forward and delivers a pie-face while cursing the World Champion for using such tactics! WHOA! As the crowd gasps, Terminus rubs his jaw for a moment and then shakes his head before responding with a hard back-handed slap to the cheek that reverberates throughout the arena! OOOH! Kane chuckles bitterly for a moment, and then his fask becomes a mask of anger as he launches a stiff forearm at his rival, who absorbs the blow before immediately countering with one of his own! )

Franks: Well, well...It seems that these two are staring to devlop a healthy dislike for one another.

Quadros: Which is fine by me, because I really don't like either of them, to be honest!

(As the crowd cheers, the two continue to batter one another with stiff but entirely legal forearms! Kane! Terminus! Kane! Terminus! BK with an even harder shot! Terminus fires back once again, but this time Kane just walks through it and lands yet another forearm that sends his opponent stumbling backward! A followup roaring elbow sends the World Champion reeling backward into the ropes, and Kane proceeds to whip the Canadian into the other set of strands before bouncing off the ropes into a Flying Bicycle Kick that seems designed to take his opponent's head off! Wait! Terminus performs a baseball slide to avoid this kick and then counters with a crisp basement dropkick to the knee that causes the Light Heavyweight Champ to fall flat on his face! The masked man then tries to capitalize by nailing Kane with a sliding dropkick off the ropes, but BK is somehow able to perform a front handspring to avoid being kicked in the face and then counters with a sweet standing dropkick to the chest that puts the masked man onto his back! Kane then measures his rival and then attempts to decapitate him with a Buzzsaw Kick as the latter begins to rise! NO! Terminus drops down into split-legged position to avoid having his head taken off and then chops out his opponent's legs once again with spinning legsweep! The New Age Punisher then leaps high into the air, hoping to drive his opponent's head through the mat with a Jumping Double Stomp, but Kane kips up to avoid this attack, and the two drop into fighting stances as they spin round to face one another at the exact same time.)

*MASSIVE SHOW OF RESPECT FOR THAT EXCHANGE POP!*

(After a momentary pause, the two exchange begrudgingly respectful nods before locking up once again. After a few seconds, BK gains control with a rear waistlock before lifting his smaller foe up and slamming him down hard onto his stomach. In one fluid motion, Kane then rolls his opponent over onto his back and arches back into a bridge for the first pinfall attempt of the match: 1...2...Terminus shifts his weight, allowing him to roll into a seated position to escape this predicament before working his way back to his feet. The New Age Punisher then pries left arm away from him and side steps before twisting the limb into a standing wristlock. Terminus then converts the hold into a hammerlock; only to have it countered into a nice drop toehold. BK then floats over into a front chancery; in response, the Halifax native reverses back into a grounded hammerlock, and then immediately flips forward into a bridge in order to apply more pressure to the hold. Sasha Brown asks BK if he wants to quit but Kane simply shakes his head and manages to pull his way toward the ropes and latches onto the bottom strand before too much damage can be inflicted to the arm. Terminus keeps the hold applied until the last second of the ref's count, and then breaks in rather unique fashion by leaping backward into a standing moonsault that connects flush across his opponent's upper back and arm!)

Franks: Well, I don't think that moonsault could really be considered a "clean break", but it certainly was an effective attack!

Quadros: It sure was...and even though it wasn't a clean break, it will certainly help Terminus in his efforts to force a clean break of his opponent's arm! Ha ha ha! Get it?

Franks: *shakes head*

(Terminus takes no notice of the crowd's rather mixed reaction, and simply keeps his attention focused upon Kane as he pulls the latter to his feet by the targeted limb and reappplies the armwringer, before converting it into another hammerlock. The New Age Punisher spins his opponent around and then reapplies the hammerlock before taking his rival over into a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex for the first pinfall attempt of the match: 1...2...T-Kick out! Unfazed, the masked man simply pulls his opponent back to his feet and sinks in another armwringer before catching BK square in the face with a Back Heel Kick that deposits him in a heap on the canvas. Terminus then proceeds to fling himself into a standing shooting star press, and then makes a point of hooking both legs on the ensuing cover: 1.....2......Thr-Shoulder Up! Sensing that he has Kane more or less where he wants him, Terminus hauls Kane back to his feet by the injured limb, reapplies the armwringer, and then rolls forward into a Triangle Lancer that he calls ASHES TO ASHES!)

Quadros: If you're a fan of Brad Kane, then this is bad news, since his opponent has spent the last few minutes doing his best to turn his rival's limb into macaroni, and now he's got a dangerous submission hold locked in. Of course, I'm not a fan of Kane, so I'm perfectly fine with what's happening!

(Once again, the official asks him if he wishes to call it a night, and once again, the Light Heavyweight Champion simply shakes his head and searches for a means to break this submission attempt. BK begins to claw his way toward the cables, and, despite the fact that he's obviously in agony, manages to make steady progress toward the strands. Sensing that his opponent might be able to break the hold, Terminus rolls Kane toward the center of the ring and then continues to roll Kane around in a circle for a few moments before finally reaching back to hook the leg so that he can complete the execution of the Rolling Cradle: 1.......2.........THRRRREEEEEEEEKICK OUT at 2.9999999999!!!!!! Terminus shakes his head and slams the mat in frustration; after taking a moment to glare down at his stricken rival, he draws his thumb across his throat, pulls his opponent back up to his feet, and sets him up for the Dies Irae Spinning Unprettier! NO! Despite the abuse that he's taken, Kane is still somehow able to slither free of his opponent's grasp, crosses his arms into a straight jacket, and then leaps up and pulls his rival down into a wicked Wraparound Lung Blower!)

Franks: Great counter by the Light Heavyweight Champion, who may just have found a way to turn things around after taking a beating over the course of the past few minutes!

(Kane slowly climbs to his feet, clutching his wounded arm, and then takes a moment to stare daggers at his prone rival before letting out a loud battle cry. Hauling his opponent back to his feet, Kane takes his opponent over to the mat with a Snapmare, and then follows up with a STIFF shoot kick to the small of his rival's back! Terminus cringes in pain, and is in no position to defend himself when BK launches ANOTHER stiff shoot kick to the same reigon, followed by a THIRD! BK then proceeds to race off the ropes and then charges toward Terminus and absolutely CLOBBERS him with the Baktare Slide Kick referred to as the JAK Trigger! Terminus collapses to the mat as if shot, and Kane quickly dives on top of him for the cover: 1.....2.....THRENOOO! Kick Out! Undaunted, the Light Heavyweight Champion pulls his opponent up to his feet by his mask and proceeds to double him over with a series of shoot kick to the ribs to double him over, and then sinks in a tight butterfly lock before taking his opponent over into a nicely executed suplex. Rolling the World Champion to his feet, BK executes a second butterly suplex; and then pulls the champion and completes the hat trick- making certain to execute the third in such a way that causes Terminus to land upside down against the turnbuckles of the nearest corner! The masked man slumps to the mat, but the effort of executing this suplex sequence seems to have aggravated the injury to Kane's arm, and he spends a moment cradling the limb before crawling over and applying the lateral press: 1...........2.........THREEEENOOOO! Foot on the ropes! )

Ferdinand: Ladies and gentlemen, 10 minutes have elapsed in this match!

(The World Light Heavyweight Champion casts a dubious glance at Sasha Brown, but the official simpy holds up two fingers in response. Kane takes a deep breath and then turns his attention back to his rival, who is stuggling to rise to his feet. Kane then grabs his opponent and lifts him up before dropping him across the knee with a Uranage Backbreaker. He then ducks outside, scales the turnbuckles as quickly as he can, and then dives off into a spectacular Cannonball Senton that connects flush against his prone opponent's ribs! Kane allows himself to smile slightly as he lays back across his rival and hooks the leg on the ensuing cover: 1..........2............THREEEEEENOOOOOOO! Kane's lips curl into a snarl as he hauls his opponent back to his feet and then takes him over into Bridging Exploder Suplex for another pinfall attempt: 1..........2...........THREEEEEEEENOOOO! ANOTHER Last split-second kick out! Shouting "stay the fuck DOWN!", Kane then picks up Terminus, hoists him into power bomb position, with the obvious intent of slamming him through the mat! Wait! Terminus is somehow able to counter into a Rana, and then, in one fluid motion, transitions directly into a cross-armbreaker!)

* OUT OF NOWHERE SUBMISSION ATTEMPT POP!*

(The masked man wrenches back on the submission hold for all that he's worth, but BK isn't ready to quit, and is somehow able to work his way to his feet. The World Light Heavyweight Champ then dead lifts his opponent into the air and sits out into a modified powerbomb to break the hold, but winces in pain as it becomes obvious that this served to inflict further damage to the targeted limb. Nevertheless he climbs to his feet just as his adversary makes it to his hands and knees, and takes advantage by executing a slick Shining Triangle Choke to his rival. MLK Clutch! )

*THIS COULD BE ALL SHE WROTE FINISHER POP!*

(The masked man desperately searches for a means to escape, but realizes quickly that he's too far away from the ropes, and is forced to search for another method to avoid a possible submission defeat. Terminus attempts a dead lift of his own, but BK simply rolls backward into a modified Rana to take his opponent down to the mat. Thinking quickly, the Heavyweight Champion responds by flipping forward into a jacknife pin to force his opponent's shoulders to the mat: 1......2.....Kane rolls back onto his side, but this allows his opponent to reach out and grab onto the bottom strand to force a break. Kane relcutantly releases his grip at four, and watches as the masked man immediately rolls to the outside in order to regroup. However, Brad isn't about to let that happen, and quickly races off the ropes, and dives through the ropes at Terminus before spiking him head-first to the floor with a mind-boggling Bullet Tope DDT!)

Crowd: Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t!

(After taking a moment to dust himself off, Kane pulls his stricken rival to his feet and rolls him back into the ring, before hopping onto the ring apron and then vaulting over the top strand into an attempted Slingshot Frog Splash! WAIT! Terminus gets his knees up, and BK crashes hard against them before collapsing onto his back! After taking a moment to collect himself, the New Age Punisher climbs to his feet and waits for his winded opponent to rise off the mat before leaping up and nailing him into the face with a picture perfect Standing Dropkick! Brad is sent tumbling through the ropes and lands hard upon his injured shoulder! Terminus climbs the turnbuckles as he watches his foe struggle back to his feet, and returns the favor from earlier in the match by flipping off into a mind-boggling Moonsault DDT that causes BK's head to bounce off the floor in sickening fashion!)

*HUGE HIGH RISK MOVE POP!*

Franks: The Beginning of the End!

Quadros: Indeed, it may well be, for Kane just found out the hard way that if you live by the DDT, sometimes you die by the DDT!

(Up until this point, the woman standing in the World Champion's corner had been watching the match with a curiously blank expression. Now, it seems that for the first time she's taken an interest in the match as she regards the sight of the two prone wrestlers. As her eyes gleam with malice, she shoves a front row spectator out of her chair, and then grabs it and heads toward the two competitors. Brandishing the chair, it seems for one moment that she actually contemplates using it upon the masked man...until she notices his ice cold stare leveled in her direction as he rises. Averting his gaze, she steps past him and prepares to clobber then prone BK, only to have the attempt thwarted by the young woman whose chair she procured grab it out of her hands and toss it to the floor!)

Quadros: Who the hell does that bitch think she is!?

Franks: That "bitch" happens to be Freya Kane, and I don't think she's thrilled about the fact that Natalie was about to assault her brother!

(Indeed, an infuriated Freya lets out a primal shriek as she tackles her brother's would be assailant and rains down a series of mounted forearms onto her antagonist. After a few moments, she finally ceases her attack and begins to make her way back toward the front row in order to resume her seat. However, the other woman isn't quite as hurt as she appeared to be, for she springs to her feet and clocks the Kane sister from behind with the steel chair! The Kane sister drops to the floor, and her attacker raises the chair to finish the job...only to be dropkicked from behind by another female spectator who has emerged from the crowd!)

*WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON POP!*

(This interested party looks to be the exact twin of Freya's attacker, with the notable exception that she happens to be garbed in a Captain Howdy T-Shirt rather than the other one, whose shirt bears the New Age Punisher's likeness. Ripping off the Howdy T-shirt, the third woman at ringside than proceeds to wrap it around her twin's throat, and spends a few moments choking the life out her rival before grabbing the steel chair and bringing it down HARD across the prone twin's head! CRACK! She raises the chair to strike again, but is pulled away by Terminus, who has been watching this scene unfold with a mixture of shock and bemusement. The masked man whispers into the ear of the brassiere-clad twin, and smiles as he watches her turn around and regard him with a loving gaze filled with adoration as she breaks out into a wide grin! )

Franks: Wait a second...THAT's Natalie!? Then that means that the woman in the corner was Nadia! Of all the-

Quadros: Well, I'm sure that there was a good reason why she felt the need to assume her sister's identity...

Franks: I'd like to hear it, Ray...

Quadros: Well, I'll be happy to tell you...when I think of one.

(Natalie lets out a wild, gleeful battle cry as she pulls Nadia back to her feet and then proceeds to execute her Divine Offering Snap Legsweep DDT, driving Nadia head first into the discarded chair and leaving her lying bloodied and quivering on the ground! Smirking slightly, the masked man nods his approval and then turns his attention back to his opponent and rolls him back into the ring. Terminus then hops onto the apron and watches his opponent rise off the mat before nailing him in face with a spectactular Springboard Rider Kick! Kane hits the mat like a ton of bricks and his opponent is quick to apply the cover: 1.............2............THRE-NO! Kick Out! Terminus keeps his cool and hauls Brad to his feet by the hair before cinching in a front facelock and then hooking a leg. He then porceeds to drop his foe directly onto his head with a Small Package Driver, and immediately transitions into a pinning combination" 1..................2.................THREE! NO! NOT QUITE! Another kick out at 2.999999999!!!)

Ferdinand: Ladies and gentlemen, 20 minutes have elapsed in this contest!

(The New Age Punisher shakes his head, but quickly collects himself as he pulls his opponent up once again before lifting him up and dropping him back down to the mat with a wicked Snap Brainbuster. Kane lands hard on his head, but the effort of executing this move seems to have taken a lot out of Terminus, because he's slow to rise, and gets up clutching his ribs. Nevertheless, he scales the turnbuckles as quickly as he can, and then sails off into the Phoenix Splash that serves as his best known finisher! The move connects FLUSH against the prone form of his adversary, causing him to let out a loud "oof" upon impact!)

*OFF THE CHARTS FINISHER POP!*

Quadros: TERMINAL VELOCITY! THAT'S IT!

Franks: Not so fast! I think Terminus might have done just as much damage to himself as he did to Kane!

(Indeed, the impact of his move seems to have knocked the wind out of the World Champion, and he takes a few moments to roll over and drape an arm across his opponent's chest for the cover: 1..........................2...........................THREEEEE!! HE GOT HIM! TERMINUS PULLS IT OFF! NO! WAIT! HE DIDN'T!? HE DIDN'T!!! KANE KICKED OUT! KANE KICKED OUT! Terminus stares up into the rafters in disbelief before exchanges helpless glances with Natalie and then finally turning his attention back to his opponent. Hauling him up by the arm, the masked man sinks in another armwringer and attempts to draw the submission with another Ashes to Ashes attempt! Wait! BK rolls with Terminus back to his feet and then in one fluid motion lifts him up into a Pumphandle Uranage that serves as his best known finisher! LMSLCBK! The effort of executing this finisher seems to have causes BK cry out in agony as the move connects and the collapse to the mat for a moment and cradle his wounded limb; it takes a few seconds for him to regain his bearings to the extant that he can crawl over and flop onto his opponent to apply what by rights should be the finishing cover: 1.............. .........................2..............................THREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!THAT'S IT! KANE WI-WHAT!? TERMINUS KICKED OUT AT 2.9999999999999999!!!!!! THE MATCH CONTINUES!)

Ferdinand: There are two minutes remaining in this contest!

(Natalie lets out A joyous cry and screams support for her lover; and is so intent upon doing this that she fails to notice that a very pissed off Freya Kane is staring daggers at her as she stands behind her! She quickly becomes aware of Freya's presence, though, when the Kane sister spins her around and whips her had into the guard rail. Freya tries to follow up by spiining into a roaring elbow, but runs into a Flash Kick that sends Freya sprawling. A nonplussed Natalie tries to explain the case of mistaken identity to the Kane sister, but the latter isn't in any mood to talk and responds by leaping up to her feet and tackling Natalie with such force that the two ladies go flying over the guardrail and into the crowd! Nat and Freya then engage in a wild brawl, exchanging an assortment of strikes that only ends when the they're separated by members of Hammerfist Security!)

*CATFIGHT POP!*

(While this has been taking place, Brad Kane has been occupied with other matters, namely doing his best to pull out a last minute victory over the World Champion. To that end, the Light Heavyweight Champion hauls his opponent up by the mask, and then proceeds to whip him into the ropes, and then lifts him up into a Flapjack before catching him on the way down with a thunderous BK Backfist! The Canadian crashes to the mat, and BK collapses on top of him for another pinfall attempt: 1............2..........THREEEEEEEENOOOO! ANOTHER Kick Out! Kane yells out and slams the mat to get some adrenaline, and then pulls him up by the arm and whips him hard into the nearest corner. BK follows him in with a Flying Corner Knee Smash, followed by a Roaring Elbow, and then by a Corner Discus Lariat! Kane then lifts his opponet up onto the top rope and then climbs onto the 2nd strand in order to execute the Avalanche Brainbuster he calls the Kirsute Gomen! Wait! Terminus catches him with a MASSIVE PALM STRIKE, which stuns BK badly, and allows Terminus to sink in a butterfly lock and instantly fly off into an insane Avanlanche Double Underhook Flip Piledriver! )

Quadros: What the hell was that!?

Franks: That was the Last Word, and it might be the last word in this match if Terminus can cover in time!

Crowd: 7....6....5....4....

(Terminus manages to collect himself and begins to drag himself toward his nearly unconscious opponent...)

Crowd: 3....2....1....

*Ding! Ding!*

Freddy Ferdinand: Ladies and gentlemen, the 20 minute time limit has elapsed! This match is a DRAW!

(Terminus shrugs and then nods in acknowledgement of this announcement, but his attention his already focused elsewhere. After stopping briedly to offer a few respectful comments to his opponent, he rolls out of the ring, picks up the still-unconscious Nadia, and hoists her over his shoulder and makes his way out of the arena, leaving a bemused Kane alone in the ring to soak up the crowd's prolonged ovation.)

Coming Soon
Written by: unknown

Ray: Wow, what a match! Brad Kane survived somehow!

Carl: I don't know if I'm ready for this night to end, Ray. On one hand, this show has been amazing, on the other Redemption is soon on it's way. We have one more match to go!

Ray: Well, we know one thing for sure...

-The lights go out in the building and a collective gasp shoots through the stands.

Carl: We might not have much of a choice, it seems we've lost power and the night might not be able to continue!

Ray: Aw man! Don't tell me we're going to miss the main event!

-The lights pop back on suddenly as confusion continues to fill the arena.

Carl: Well, I'm not sure what just happened, but it appears there is something in the ring.

-A yellowish substance covers the mat and small cards are all over the mat, although from the current angle nothing can me made out. Finally, the people in the truck switch over to an overhead camera where the characters can be read.

*It's Not Yours...Anymore (11/26/08)*

-The camera zooms in on some of the cards and we can see that they are actually pictures. Pictures of wrestlers of which the camera chooses to zoom in on are Captain Howdy, Kaito, Victor Jace, Dan Manheim and Alex Legend.

Carl: Oh my...

Ray: It looks like we will find out "who's" it isn't and "who's" it actually is at Redemption II, Carl. But if anything is certain, someone is going to be in grave trouble when this is concluded. If not all of PWA finds itself in trouble.

Beast of Burden
Written by: Andrew & Paul

(Terminus and Natalie are shown seated across from one another at opposite ends of the locker room of the locker room designated for use by members of Gundan RTO; and both of them keep their gazes fixed upon the other occupant in the room, who happens to be lying, bound and muzzled on the floor.

The expression of the masked man appears as impassive as always, but Natalie's face registers a profound level of sorrow as she stares into the hate-filled eyes of her twin sister.)

Natalie: I don't know this person...

Terminus: In fairness, Natalie, it's been a while since you've seen her. And, a lot can happen in three years...

Natalie: Of course...But, the thing is, Evan...When you grow up with someone, and spend all your life with them, and tell them all of your secrets...there still should be SOME connection...some indication that the person they once were still exists in some way, shape, or form, inside the person that they've become.

Natalie: I'm looking at this....this...thing, and I don't see ANY trace of my sister apparent within her...

(Natalie stares into the eyes of her lover as a desperate, pleading expression appears on her face.)

Natalie: Tell me once again why you felt the need to bring her here, Evan.

Terminus: I felt the need to bring her here because I needed you to understand the truth of the situation, Natalie. I needed you to understand the points that the Nadia Snow that you knew and loved and cared for with all of your heart no longer exists in this world...

Natalie: I...I...

The Angel: Look into her eyes and you will find the soul. Through that you will find the lost.

(Natalie and Terminus note the figure of the Angel of Death looming in the entrance with MK lingering not too far behind.)

Natalie: I don't see ANYTHING when I stare into those eyes. I see no trace of the intelligence, or personality that this woman used to possess.

This..this isn't a woman....This...This isn't even something that I would classify as SENTIENT!

This...this is....

Terminus: A beast.

Natalie, looking downcast: A beast.

The Angel: Then the beast needs to be destroyed.

(The Angel walks over to Nadia and wraps his hand around her throat lifting her into the air chair and all.)

MK: Wait!

The Angel: It's Natalie's choice. So only she will speak. Live or die, I leave it up to you.

Natalie, staring at her wide-eyed sister, and then at MK: I want to hear what you have to say...

MK: Even if Nadia is nothing more than a beast, right now...Evan if every bit of intelligence has been drained from her being, it cannot be denied that beasts sometimes can be made to serve a certain purpose...

Terminus, arching an eyebrow: Are you saying what I think you're saying, Mary Katherine?

MK: I am. We're all aware of the fact that the Captain seems to have taken something of an interest in this...creature....

Terminus: Indeed...and it would be interesting to see just how much interest he has in his most prized of pets.

(The Angel's hand tightens.)

The Angel: Again...Natalie is the only one who speaks and she better speak soon. I can feel the life leaving this one.

Natalie: Let her go, Angel...I've never been one to advocate cruelty to animals...

Besides...I, too am interested to see just how sincere Howdy really is about his desire to rear his devoted pet.

The Angel: As you wish.

(The Angel releases his grip and Nadia falls to the ground.)

Terminus, staring at Nadia: Fear not, Nadia...We'll be happy to return you to your new owner...And, if you behave, me MAY even be able to guaruntee that you'll return to him with all of your limbs intact, and able to function in their desired capacity...

Terminus: Now, I guess all we need to do is to find the Captain and advise him that his lost pet has been found...

Natalie: Or, perhaps, one of his associates...

(The Angel lets out a slight, sick chuckle and merely walks away without saying another word.)

Natalie: Was it something I said...?

Terminus, as a nasty grin appears through his mask: Yes, my dear. Yes, I think it was.

Captain Howdy & Kaito vs. Filth & Fury
Written by: Neil

The lights dim, as "Captain Howdy" begins to play. He walks out from the back, flanked by two figures in hooded, lime-green robes. These two figures move away from him as he walks down the ramp, taking positions on each side of the top of the ramp, heads bowed, and hands in their sleeves. The big screen behind them shows various snippets of the Captain's PWA career, as he makes his way to the ring, acknowledging those who bow to him, and inviting them to join his cult. He ignores any others, as he steps into the ring and moves to the far side, handing off his jacket and walking stick to the attendant. He then moves to the corner, and watches the ramp, waiting for his opponent to enter.

The lights go out in the arena. A dragon roar is heard over the arena speakers as fire explodes from the stage area. Jiraiya Kaito is launched from underneath the stage and lands on one knee as the first opening riff of Acma's "Follow Your Generation" plays. Blue lights swoop throughout the arena at the same time. Upon the next riff, white lights swoop back in the opposite direction. On the third riff, blue lights swoop back in their original direction. As the song progresses, blue and white lights go into a strobe effect in tune with the music. Jiraiya Kaito looks up at the ring and stands up while the fans show their appreciation for him. He then begins to walk down to the ring with a look of determination on his face. Jiraiya Kaito leaps up onto the top turnbuckle and faces the ring. He holds his hands above his head and brings them together in prayer-mode. He takes a deep breath before leaping off the top turnbuckle and lands on one knee while pounding the middle of the ring with a single fist, causing blue flames to erupt from all four ring posts. The lights return to normal as he looks up from his kneeling position. He stands upright and soaks in the admiration from the fans in attendance.

Franks: The odd pairing of Captain Howdy and Jiraiya Kaito have had some results in the past, Ray. Do you think tonight they continue their winning ways?

Quadros: Filth & Fury has more experience as a team but Howdy and Kaito aren’t too happy about Matt Filth ruining their match last week. Will week long anger negate years of working together? We’re about to find out.

To the tune of Running Battle by Kasabian, Filth ‘n’ Fury make their way out under a sea of lights of all colours. They charge down the aisle cursing at any and every fan stupid enough to get in their way- Fury even lashes out with his fist at the particularly dumb people who want to touch him. Filth talks smack into the camera- he even tries to intimidate the poor camera-man by shaking it about viciously. The two half-brothers from Hell slide into the ring and stare down their opponents before going towards the turnbuckles to play the crowd for some extra boos.

Franks: Filth & Fury look like they want to get back on track after losing that handicap match last week to Jostrodomus.

Quadros: Commissioner Butcher cost them that one, Carl. Throw that result out the window. These guys are a legit team and know what it takes to win matches like these.

Referee Sasha Brown calls for the bell to get this match under way! Ding! Filth & Fury seem to be arguing back and forth who is going to start this while Captain Howdy waits for them to sort their issues out. Tom Fury pushes his half-brother Matt to the apron and tells him he’s gonna handle this. Upon this revelation that Fury is going to start things off, Kaito hits Howdy across the backside to tag himself in early! Now Howdy and Kaito are sharing some words over who’s starting what and if this will even work tonight. Kaito explains in broken English he has unfinished business with Fury so he wants a piece as soon as possible.

Franks: I guess after all of that, Kaito and Tom Fury will start this off.

Quadros: I don’t know why Kaito is so eager to get a piece of Fury. Tom Fury all ready pinned his shoulders to the mat a couple months ago to prove he’s the better man!

Kaito and Fury begin to circle around the ring before locking up. Fury powers Kaito to the mat with a thud and exclaims how superior he is. Kaito nips up and slaps Fury across the face! WHOOO! Angered by this show of disrespect, Tom Fury throws a wild clothesline that is ducked by Kaito. Kick to midsection by Kaito! Another kick! Another! He whips the doubled over Tom Fury towards the ropes and drops him on the rebound with a drop toe hold. Kaito gets up real fast and runs towards the ropes, bouncing off with a low drop kick right into Tom Fury’s face!

Franks: Oh man! What a series of shots Kaito put together there on Tom Fury!

Quadros: I don’t know what Kaito’s deal is. He really needs to get over Fury beating him all those months ago.

Kaito pulls up Fury by the head and knife-edge chops him right into a neutral corner! WHOOO! Another chop in the corner! WHOOO! Another! WHOOO! Another! WHOOOO! Another! Another! Another! Another! Another! And another! WHOOOOOOO! Kaito steps out of the corner as Fury’s legs begin to wobble underneath him. With a full head of steam, Kaito runs towards Fury with the final shot being a handspring enzuigiri! NO! Tom Fury explodes out of the corner with a spinning head butt to the chest of Kaito, called the Bottle Rocket!

Quadros: That ought a slow Kaito down.

Tom Fury gets up and tries to shrug off everything he’s been through so far as he tags out to Matt Filth. In steps Filth as they both pull Kaito up off the mat. Double snap suplex by Filth & Fury! Cover by Matt Filth… 1...2...KICK OUT! Fury returns to his corner as Matt Filth picks up Kaito and drops him across the knee with a back breaker! Now Filth follows up with some stiff boots to the sternum of Kaito before trying to choke Kaito with his shoe! Referee Sasha Brown jumps in there as Kaito is struggling for air….1! 2! 3! 4! Matt Filth steps off before being disqualified.

Filth pulls up the gasping Kaito by the hair and plants him hard on the canvass with an Atomic Backdrop! Kaito’s body arcs from the pain of the slam! Cover by Filth…1!…2!…THR…KICK OUT! Filth is feeling mighty proud of himself as he looks to go to the top turnbuckle! As the big man tries to balance himself, Tom Fury starts yelling at him to get down! Filth jumps off with a top turnbuckle leg drop onto Kaito!….MISSES! Kaito rolled out of the way!

Franks: Matt Filth took an unnecessary risk here early in the match and now he’s paying the price!

Quadros: He should have listened to Tom Fury.

Filth pops up, clutching his rear end with a wince of pain. Now Kaito nips up and blasts him with an enzuigiri! The crowd pops for Kaito as he springs to life! He rolls over to his corner and tags out to Captain Howdy! The #1 Contender runs right over Matt Filth with a double foot curb stomp! In comes an enraged Tom Fury to beat some respect into Howdy. He gets a shot to the throat that stops him dead in his tracks! Belly-to-belly suplex by Captain Howdy as Tom Fury bounces off of the canvass and out of the ring!

Matt Filth gets up holding his face only for Howdy to give him a kidney punch. Doubled over, Filth finds himself on the receiving end of a Roll the Dice neck breaker! Cover by Howdy!…1!…2!…THR…KICK OUT!! Howdy doesn’t seem to mind as he applies a guillotine choke with a body scissor squeeze. Matt Filth finds himself face first into the canvass with no where to go! On all fours, he tries to power himself up with both hands but the body control Howdy has applies gives him no opportunity to force his way out!

Franks: This is a bad spot for Matt Filth to be in, Ray. This match could end at any moment!

Quadros: Don’t you tap out, Matt! Your brother is counting on you!

The crowd is starting to roar as Filth continues to power his way out of the submission. But still, Captain Howdy remains in control the entire time as he tries to draw the tap. Kaito starts clapping on the ring apron, trying to get the crowd behind his partner of the night. Filth’s arms go out from under him as he’s getting ready to pass out! Referee Sasha Brown gets down to see if Matt Filth is unconscious!

NO! Tom Fury slides into the ring and stomps on Captain Howdy’s head to make the save! Fury’s fuse has just about blown as he begins dropping stomp after stomp after stomp to Howdy’s head! Into the ring comes Kaito to break this up! He turns Fury around and Fury blasts him in the face with a forearm! Another forearm to the face by Fury! Another! Another! Off the ropes with an Irish whip he sends Kaito! Kaito on the rebound knocks down Tom Fury with a lightning leg lariat! The crowd pops as Kaito is now giving Tom Fury the boots! Wait! Referee Sasha Brown pushes Kaito off and commands that he returns to his corner.

Franks: Some rough officiating by Referee Sasha Brown nearly knocked Kaito to the mat!

Quadros: Any coincidence Kaito wants to beat her boyfriend Aiden Miles for the Premiere Championship?

A ticked off Kaito returns to his corner as Tom Fury is pushed to his by the skirted referee. Now it’s back to Captain Howdy and Matt Filth as they both look to get some momentum going. The lock up between the two is won by Howdy as he bulls Matt Filth into a neutral corner. Gasping for air still but on his feet, the last thing Filth needs right now is Howdy putting his body weight on him. Howdy puts his hands in Filth’s face only to knee him in the midsection. An ax handle across the back causes Filth to step out of the corner, only to be yanked down to the mat by the hair!

Franks: Howdy got a handful of hair and more right there, Ray.

Quadros: I hope Terminus is watching out there somewhere and gets a feel for who he’s going to face at Redemption II.

A painful spinning toe hold applied by Howdy as he targets anywhere he seems pleased tonight. Filth tries to kick him away but only finds himself vulnerable to being turned over into a single leg Boston Crab. Howdy yanks back as he puts more pressure to Matt Filth’s knee. Filth has taken about as much punishment as he’s ever wanted to take tonight. Referee Sasha Brown wants to know if he’s going to tap…NO is the reply! Howdy pulls back a little more as Matt Filth tries to power up to a vertical base! Referee Brown asks again…NO!

Captain Howdy releases the Boston Crab and drops an elbow across Filth’s neck. Attempted Crossface submission by the Captain is blocked out of desperation by Filth! Matt Filth grabs onto the ropes and tries to use them to help him get to his feet. Howdy now attempts a suplex from behind but Filth has control of those ropes! Howdy tries to power him off into that suplex! Filth holds on to the rope!

Captain Howdy replies with some vicious blows to Matt Filth’s backside, trying to soften him off of the ropes! Filth throws back an elbow that stuns Howdy! Matt Filth turns around and decks Captain Howdy right to the mat with a British Uppercut! Taking the rare opening, Filth lunges out and tags in Tom Fury!

Franks: Matt Filth has had a rough night after making a name for himself last week.

Quadros: Yeah but he hung in there and got a much needed tag out to his brother.

Tom Fury steps into the ring and drops a delayed knee to Howdy’s face. Showing just how irritated he is tonight, Fury grabs Howdy by the hair with two hands and starts slamming the #1 Contender’s head up and down onto the mat! BAM! BAM! BAM! Again! And again! And again! 1! Again! 2! Again! 3! Again! 4! Fury let’s go of the hair and jumps into Referee Sasha Brown’s face! “What the hell do you want?! I’m workin’ here!”, he yells.

Captain Howdy looks a bit woozy after having his head to mop the mat. As he tries to get up, Tom Fury grabs him from behind and tosses him halfway across the ring with a release German suplex! Feeling confident, Fury bounces off the ropes and lands a big time elbow drop onto Howdy before hooking the leg! 1!…2!…THRE…KICK OUT! Now Fury applies an ankle lock and side armbar submission combo he calls Convulsions to keep the Captain grounded.

Franks: Now Captain Howdy finds himself in a submission hold!

Quadros: If Howdy taps, Tom Fury should get his title shot!

Howdy let’s out a yell as he tries to find the ropes! Fury pulls back, trying to get the ankle and arm to reach each other in a dislocating fashion! Referee Brown wants to know if Howdy wants to quit? NO is the reply! The #1 Contender reaches out again for the ropes that seem to be just out of reach! Fury tightens one more time! Again Referee Brown asks…NO! Howdy powers up with his free hand and falls forward, grabbing onto the bottom cable with some guts! Fury keeps the Convulsions locked on until forced to release! 1! 2! 3! 4! He let’s go!

Fury starts kicking away again at the downed Howdy as he tries to break the man’s ribs. Kaito starts beating on the turnbuckle, yelling at Howdy to find his way for a tag out! Howdy uses the ropes to get to his feet but he’s beat back down again by an Anarchy’s Rainbow body splash across the neck! Fury tags out to Matt Filth as they both begin to do a goomba style beat down on Captain Howdy in the corner. Kaito looks to intervene but he’s cut off by Referee Sasha Brown.

Filth & Fury whip Captain Howdy towards the ropes for a double sky high back body drop but the #1 Contender comes off with a cross body block that takes out both men! The Captain tries to find his way for a tag out to Kaito but Fury grabs his leg. Howdy executes a Kaito-style enzuigiri to the face of Fury to break free and TAGS OUT to Kaito!

Franks: In comes the Seiryuu!

Quadros: The who?

Kaito collects the rising Matt Filth with an STO! Rolling wheel leg drop across Tom Fury’s neck before he can even get up! Captain Howdy looks to get back into the action as Referee Sasha Brown has lost control of the match! Kaito picks up Filth while Howdy picks up Fury. Each Filth & Fury member is whipped to different sides of the ring! Off the ropes they come! Howdy hops Fury…Kaito hops Filth and the tag team members run right into each other! After colliding their heads into each other, Filth & Fury walk right into stereo fisherman busters by both Kaito and Howdy!

Franks: Oh they were right on the same page!

Quadros: Damn it!

Kaito and Captain Howdy both look at each other and nod as Filth & Fury have had a rough go around in the last few moments. Both Kaito and Howdy go in for the win with DOUBLE Back to the Rocking Horse submissions! Kaito has Matt Filth locked on. Captain Howdy has Tom Fury! Both members of Filth & Fury are stuck in full nelson camel clutches, looking at each other, as the crowd pops! Both half-brothers from Hell yell out in pain in the center of the ring with no where to go! They both begin waving their arms in a double tap out! Referee Sasha Brown calls for the bell! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Ferdinand: Here are your winners…Kaito and Captain…Howdy!

Stuck in the Middle with You
Written by: Andrew, Paul, & Rich

Captain Howdy stands alone in the ring following his hard-fought match with kaito against Filth and Fury, with that ever present maniacal grin flickering across his face; at that point, the voice of Terminus can be heard over the loudpseaker.

Terminus (V/O): Captain Howdy...dear Captain...I must say that your in-ring ability is as impressive as always. In that regard, I have no doubt that you might well extend me to my absolute limit when we meet at Redemption II next week...

(The Captain can be seen smirking at this statement, and gives the impression that he could care less about the words that are being uttered, or about the owner of the voice that is uttering them.)

Terminus (V/O): But, what DOES concern me, Captain...is your mindset going into this particular encounter. For while you may claim to be as focused and prepared as any individual that I have ever met in the squared circle, I find that somewhat difficult to belive, given your inabilty to keep an eye on those individuals that you claim to care about...

(With that, the Trinitron depicts an image of a very pale Nadia Snow, lying on a floor with a leash tied to her neck, and surrounded by what appears to be a half-eaten bowl of dog food.)

Terminus: Oh...I wouldn't fear too much about your pet's well being. As you can see, we've made certain that your precious Nadia is well taken care of...both in terms of being fed, and in terms of being restrained so that no one can do any harm to her while we await your arrival to reclaim her.

(Howdy glares at the image of Nadia Snow on the TV screen, and begins to storm out of the ring, only to be stopped in his tracks by the sound of that calm even voice.)

Terminus: Now, Captain...if you act upon these impulses, then it's quite likely that the task of finding your dear little pet will become that much more difficult. I would suggest that you remain patient, and follow the directions that we shall provide for you...because we BOTH know that it's in your best interests to do so...

Isn't it...Mr. Jacobs?

(The Captain's eyes go wide at the sound of this name. and he immediately lets out a wild guttural cry of anger as he takes a few sprints toward the arena exit.)

Terminus (V/O): Now, James...Did I NOT tell you to be patient! All shall be revealed in good time...but in order to do so, all you have to do is to remain patient and LISTEN, for the voice that you are about to hear will provide you with the information you seek as you progress down this particular path of enlightenment...

(Capatin Howdy storms through the curtain, shouting "Where are you? WHERE ARE YOU!?" at the top of his lungs as he charges forward, tossing aside any individual fooling enough to cross his path.

At that point, a different voice begins to speak, and its tone causes the feral snarl on Howdy's face to become that much more pronounced.)

The Angel: Child, don't allow rage to enter your spirit as it only leads to horror even your sick mind can not begin to comprehend. Now stop and breathe.

Howdy: If you EVER tell me to stop and breathe again, I'll make certain that you STOP BREATHING! Now...where ARE you!?

The Angel: Threats will only force me to tighten my grip and help her soul be released. Now stop or your next search will be for a casket.

( A sick maniacal grin flickers across the face of Howdy as his features smooth somewhat.)

Howdy: Well, since you put it THAT way, would you PLEASE be so kind as to tell me your location, "gentlemen"?

The Angel: But of course. We are inside your head where I have been for quite some time. Will there be anything else?

(Howdy's eyes light up with fury, but he limits his reaction to a sneer and some mock applause as he hisses his next response.)

Howdy: Excellent timing on that one-liner, Angel. That was quite a funny joke...not quite as funny as your in-ring abilty, but funny nevertheless. But, as they say in showbiz, "if I can be serious for one moment..." this conversation is getting us nowhere...

The Angel: That's because you aren't listening. All Evan asked you to do was listen and you couldn't do that. Now the only question you have to ask yourself is will I have my way with her before or after I take her soul. Goodbye Captain.

(Howdy's eyes flare up once again with anger, frustration and maybe a bit of desperation).

Howdy: Should you have your way with Nadia, Angel, then-

Terminus (V/O): He wasn't referring to Nadia Snow, James.

Howdy, stopping dead in his tracks: What?

Terminus(V/O): I thought that might get your attention. Now, are you prepared to listen and let the Angel guide you to your pet, and to the truth about what he was referring to when he uttered those words?

Howdy: Oh, why not? It's not like I have anything better to do.

Terminus: Excellent...then proceed when ready, Angel.

The Angel: Now Howdy look inside yourself and think if it was you where would she be, and there she shall be.

(Howdy ponders these words, and then breaks out into a nasty grin as he makes his way toward the area where merchardise is sold, and smiles as he approaches the section that sells Terminus T-Shirts that bear the inscription, "The Man Behind the Mask", stopping as when he listens to the sound of a familiar voice singing softly...)

Terminus: 'I don't know why I came here tonight...I got the feeling that something ain't right..."

Terminus steps into view and snapping his fingers in time to the beat of the song: C'mon, James...you know the words to this...

Howdy, half-singing, half-muttering: I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair... And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs...

Terminus: "Clowns to the left of me..."

(The masked man points in the direction of Natalie Snow, standing directly behind her kneeling sister with one hand pulling back her sister's long hair, and the other brandishing what appears to be a taser as she places the sole of her stilletto heels against the back of her sister's neck.)

Terminus: "Jokers to the right..."

(Smiling through his mask, Terminus points to the sight of a tall statuesque young woman, who is chained up by the arms, and surrounded my the Angel, who leers at her in sinister fashion, and MK, who idly taps the taser in her hand against the palm of the other as she smirks slightly at Howdy whose mouth is now wide open as he regards the sight before him.)

Terminus: What's the next verse, James?

Howdy: Here I am, stuck in the middle with you...

Terminus: Indeed, Mr Jacobs.

Howdy: How did you come to know my given name, Evan?

Terminus, shrugging: You're not the only one with...connections, James. And, you know as well as I that if you ask the right questions...in the proper manner, you can find out a heck of a lot.

But...that's another manner for another time. We have a couple of important issues to attend to...

With that in mind, I guess I should apologise, because I might have given you the impression that you were summoned here simply to pick up your prized pet. And while that's certainly one reason why we're having this meeting, the other reason is to ask a question of YOU.

Howdy: Let me guess.."What am I going to feel in the days that follow Redemption II...And the answer I would give would be nothing, because after THIS stunt, Evan, you won't be able to feel-"

Terminus, interrupting: Angel would you be interested in providing the esteemed James Jacobs with an example of the hospitality with which you treat your guests...especially those guests who happen to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time?

(The Angel smiles as he look over at Captain Howdy then at the young lady sitting in front of him.)

So sweet and beautiful. That needs to be fixed. The only question is do I take an eye first or the nose. Any body part stick out for you Howdy.)

Howdy: I swear that if you-

Natalie: If I may make a suggestion, Angel...I would refrain from removing the Mistresses' eyes, because I want her see EVERY single thing that occurs here this evening.

MK: She makes a point, Love. And, of course, I suspect that she would find it instructive to memorize the EXACT scent that is emenating from Natalie's sis-...acquataintance...at the moment...

Terminus: I would suggest an ear, then. After all, it seems apparent that Mistress seems incapable of hearing any voice other than that of her beloved james, and it seems apparent to me that he's uttered enough words to her, and everyone else, to fill several lifetimes.

The Angel: It's settled then.

The Angel licks the tip of his finger then runs it down the back of the Mistress's right ear. Angel then puts his mouth right next to said ear.

The Angel: This is only going to hurt for weeks to come.

Howdy: WAIT!

Terminus holds one index finger up to the Angel to indicate that he would like his stable mate to delay this action for a moment before turning his attention back to his nemesis.

Terminus: Now then...I assume that we understand one another at the moment?

Howdy: I would say so, Evan.

[Terminus: Good. Now then, to the question at hand...

We know very well that you believe in Evil, James. I think it's safe to say that everyone assembled here believes in evil...

My question to you is do you believe in good?

Howdy: I do...but, as the saying goes, "It is always good men who do the most harm in the world."

Terminus, nodding: I thought you might say something like that..in truth, I was HOPING that you might say something like that.

Howdy: Really? And why, pray tell, would you say that?

Terminus: Because in many ways, I can see the merit to that particular adage.Let's suppose...hypothetically, of course, that I were to present you with the following choice...

*eyes the Mistress* Let us suppose that you were forced to witness an example of the Angel's hospitality...

*eyes Nadia* Or to watch your prized pet receive some further..."medical treatment" admisinstered by the hands of a twin sister...knowing full well that it may leave her...incapaciated...for a considerable length of time...

*arching an eyebrow* Which would you choose?

Howdy: Hardly a fair choice, Evan.

Terminus: No one ever said life was fair. Now then, I'd like to hear your answer, James. With the full understanding that either choice, while made with the best of intentions, might result in irrovacable harm for an indivdual that you love...which choice would you make?

Before Howdy can even think about responding, Terminus cuts him off.

Terminus: Oh, you needn't worry about vocalizing your response, and wounding the ego out of someone you profess to care about...but, in truth, I feel that it's more instructive to provide everyone assembled here with the answer that I would give, were I forced into said situation.

Howdy: And...that would be?

In response, Terminus snaps the fingers of both hands, and Natalie and MK each toss him the tasers in their possession. Before Howdy can react, catches them in each hand and then reaches out and sends of surge of electricty through the Captain, causing him to let out a loud cry as he falls the floor and convulses for a moment. Mistress and Nadia Snow let out loud cries of agony, but are silenced by icy stares leveled by Angel and the other two ladies in the room. Terminus stares down at the prone form of the Captain for a moment, and then drops to one knee and addresses the Captain in an almost pleasant tone of voice.

Terminus: My answer would have been to sacrifice one of two people...With no other options, I would have sacrificed myself, so that the other two might be spared. With ANY other option, I would have sacrificed the person who presented me with the choice in the first place.

And rest assured, I would considered EVERY option that was available to me before giving this answer.

Something tells me that you would have said the same thing. You might even have believed those words when you uttered them.

You see, I believe, James, that the reason why our conflict has become so bitter is not because we are so very different...But, because in many ways, we are very similar. Yet, many of the bloodiest wars in history are fought beween two sides whose fundamental goals values are similar- yet differ on or two points of critical importance.

And something tells me that this shall be no exception.

Something tells me that I shall be the one to emerge as the victor, because whereas you seem to view the world in terms of Good and Evil, and have made your choice in that regard, I view the world in terms of Darkness and Light, and realize that no choice is needed.

In fact, I have come to learn that it 's best to understand that what one considers to be the Dark, or Evil Side, is actually representative of the Light...

(With that, Terminus reaches down and sends another surge of electricty through his rival, causing the Captain to convulse a bit further on the floor...)

Terminus: And sometimes, what one considers to be the Light is actually representative of the Dark Side of Humanity...

(Terminus punctuates this statement with a wicked spinning buzzsaw kick to the head that knocks Howdy cold. For a moment, the only sound that can be heard is Nadia's whimpering, but then Mistress lets out an angry, anguished cry which is cut short by a nasty right cross from MK that knocks her senseless. Nadia's whimperings increase in volume, and her twin sister stares down at her before connecting with a standing axe kick to the face that silences Nadia, and causes her to slump face first into the half-eaten bowl of dog food.)

Terminus: And, by the end of this week, you'll understand the differences between those two concepts very well...

And, though I suspect that this knowledge won't be enough to save you from suffering a rather painful demise, it may serve to illuminate the path that others need to follow in order to become enlightened...

It may even lead the way to their salvation, as well.

*Smiles at the Angel* If one of you would be so kind as to leave a reminder that I will be happy to accept ANY victory condition or setting that he desires in order to make certain that he understands my worth to be a true champion, it would be much appreciated.

The Angel: So it's been stated...

Terminus: So shall it be done...

I guess we're just about done here, Natalie..shall we take our leave?

Natalie, smiling broadly: Yes my love, I believe that we shall.

(With that the couple link arms and make their way out of the room, and then the shot fades and the PWA logo appears as the shot fades to black.)
