Ringside at the NFW Collision Center. The Kerry's music hits. They make their way to the ring, family together. They all get mikes.Jericho: Let the record show. We did what we said we'd do. Robert Marino is a footnote in the legacy. Our actions aftwr were maybe a little overzealous. And for that we got outselves humbled.
Deedray: Nuh uh, you have the luxury to boo us and cheer for the ones you know. You get that pewce of mind, not knowing what we know, not having the pressure of 3 generations to look out for. Even me. I was against attacking Robert from the start. Because of the third lesson dad ever taught us.
Jericho: "Everywhere you get makes enemies." And we got higher and made new enemies.
Deedray: It ain't like we're gonna apologize for doing what we needed to. I know that too. But we also ain't just some rookie greenie polish the boots either. We are family!
Valereigh: So to those that attacked us at Funeral Derangements, to those who will be watching backstage while my brother takes care of business and my sister and I handle our end, I say if you think you're better, come prove it.
Deedray: Or whine more as we show that alone or together, we are always united. We always come back. And anyone standing in our way will just need to see the record one more time.
Jericho: And the next time we say, take your loss and move along like a good sport should, maybe you'll listen. There won't be a second warbing. Don't cross us again.

We are in the bowels of the AIS Arena. Crouched down, head tilting as she looks at random things on the floor is Rowena Byrne. She glances back over her shoulder at the camera. An eerie grin creeps onto her face.Rowena Byrne: Halloween saw the demon’s daughter emerge from her father’s shadow. Soon the blood will flow. Soon those on the search for Destiny shall see the light my father brought.
She resumes looking at random spots on the floor. Her head shifted rapidly in random directions. Her voice is high-pitched and eerie. She almost sounded bored and monotone.
Rowena Byrne: Tonight a new one shall bleed. Tonight the second shall fall. Continue they will until the light has been brought. Will you survive its blinding glory? The exquisite pain that truth can bring? Soon we shall see.
She giggles softly. It’s barely audible as is the whisper after.
Rowena Byrne: Soon…
She then stands up and scampers off out of frame.

Match #1/Singles
Jericho Kerry vs. Etsuko Mitzusaka
~DING DING DING~
Jericho and Etsuko circled each other once the bell rang. The two took only moments to lock up in the center of the ring, a battle for control ensuing. Mitzusaka hit Kerry with hard uppercut, breaking the lock-up and sending him stumbling backwards a few steps. She took advantage of the separation and nailed him with a hard clothesline, sending him towards the ropes. Bouncing off of the ropes, he came running back towards her, ducking another clothesline only to rebound off of the opposite ropes. Before Etsuko could turn around, Jericho nailed her square in the back with a running dropkick, sending her forward. The woman caught her footing and turned around to face Jericho, a smirk on her face as she looked at the man. She grabbed him and hit a beautiful snap supelx, sending him crashing to the mat. Moving to get the man back to his feet, she went to grab him, but he swung his leg up, sending a hard kick into her head. Etsuko stumbled away from the man who quickly got back to his feet on his own. As he stalked the woman, Pet could be heard yelling at Mitzusaka to pay attention, and the woman turned towards her opponent only to be nailed with a hard running DDT. Etsuko got back to her feet, a frustrated look on her face as she looked on at Jericho.
The two charged at each other, meeting one another in the middle of the ring with vicious clotheslines. Both competitors were a little slower getting to their feet than before, the wear and tear of the match starting to show in their movements. The circled each other for a few moments, much like in the beginning of the match, but Jericho sidestepped a dropkick from Etsuko, letting her crash to the mat. He got her back to her feet and sent her to the ropes, nailing her with a big boot as she came running back towards him. As she hit the mat, Pet could be heard yelling at her yet again from the outside which caused the woman to get bck to her feet as fast as her match worn body would allow her to. She turned towards Kerry who immediately grabbed her and lifted her for And Send The Jet, but Pet was having none of it. She immediately got on the apron, causing the referee to turn their attention to her. Irritated at the interruption, Jericho dropped Etsuko without hitting the F5 and turned his attention to the manager on the apron as well. This gave Mitzusaka a chance to pull herself up, but before she could go after her opponent, Deedray popped up onto the apron and quickly slid into the ring, hitting a shiranui on Etsuko before rolling out of the ring and taking off into the crowd as Pet yelled and began pointing in the ring. The referee finally got the woman to get down, and Jericho rolled his eyes before turning his attention back to his opponent. He lifted her again, this time hitting the F5 on her before covering her for the pin.
ONE…

Winner: Jericho Kerry
Result: Pinfall (And Send The Jet)

The backstage hustle and bustle in the AIS arena was usual for one of the NFW shows. Robert Marino, with Kaede Tanabe, was seen heading toward the guerilla area for his match against Rowena Bryne. The duo seemed deep in conversation, though what they were saying couldn’t be heard, assumingly about his upcoming match. Just before they could reach their destination, they were interrupted by Dominique Ciotti, Destiny’s interviewer.Dominique Ciotti: Robert, I know you’re getting ready to head out for your match, but I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions first.
Kaede Tanabe: You better make them quick, Ms. Ciotti. As you said, Robert does have a match to get to.
The interviewer nodded quickly at Kaede before she turned to Robert.
Dominique Ciotti: Robert, at Funeral Derangements, we saw you take on The Kerry Family alone. Ultimately, the numbers game caught up to you both during and after the match until Reika Park and Keiji Sugiwara came to your aid.
Robert Marino: Get to your point, please.
Dominique Ciotti: My question is will that be the last we see of you dealing with The Kerry Family? It seemed like the attack after the match has left business still to handle between you and them.
Robert let out a laugh before shaking his head. Kaede looked at Dominique with an annoyed look on her face at the question, almost asking if the woman was serious about asking it.
Robert Marino: Their attack after the match made it clear that business is not done with them. They want to take cowardly ways out, and I’m sick and tired of that bullshit.
Dominique nodded for a moment before bringing the microphone back to her lips.
Dominique Ciotti: After Reika and Keiji came to your aid at the end of the match, do you feel like you’d be able to count on them for future help if it’s needed when it comes to the numbers game?
Robert Marino: While, other than to thank them for their aid, I haven’t spoken to them since Funeral Derangements, I would like to think that I’d be able to. Reika, I believe, I can count on simply because of Kaede representing her as well. Keiji seems like he’s a decent enough guy, so if he’s got my back then I’m all for it and appreciate it.
Kaede Tanabe: Anything else? We really should be going now.
Dominique Ciotti: One last question…your thoughts on your opponent for the night, Rowena Byrne?
Robert took a breath in before licking his lips, looking down at Dominique after a second.
Robert Marino: Rowena is certainly one of those competitors that you have to look out for and be careful with when you’re in the ring with her. She’s a generational wrestler, and she was trained by a bat-shit crazy guy that passed that trait onto her. I’m looking forward to facing her, but I know better than to take someone with her training lightly. I’ll give it everything I’ve got, and win or lose…well, I know I would have given it my all against someone that is deserving of and will be a household name one way or another.
With that, Robert walked off, effectively ending the interview. With a curt nod to Dominique, Kaede followed him, the pair waiting at the curtain for his music to hit.

Match #2/Singles
Rowena Byrne vs. Robert Marino
~DING DING DING~
As the bell rings, Robert Marino comes out of his corner, looking for a lock up with Rowena Byrne. The newcomer to Destiny, however, slinks out of her corner on all fours, crawling around like some kind of creature of the night. Her white eyes making her wide grin all the more eerie as she watches Marino, tilting her head like a curious animal. Marino beckons her forward, ready to get started and Byrne lunges up at him! As Marino goes for the lockup, however, Byrne slips around behind and takes him down into a schoolgirl rollup but she lets him roll through and as Marino pops up onto his knees, Byrne takes him in the face with a kick from the ground. Marino’s back on his feet and Byrne’s coming at him full speed, now. Marino steps out of the way and Byrne crashes into a corner where Marino catches her around the waist from behind for a Bridging German Suplex!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Byrne comes up into a crouched position, boots planted, hands on the mat in front of her like a gargoyle…grinning.
Lucas Knox: What the fuck is wrong with this little girl?
Olivia Mayfaire: A lot from the looks of it, but I kinda like it!
Lucas Knox: Not sure Robert Marino does, very much!
Olivia Mayfaire: Well, of course not. He’s the one she has her sights on.
Marino looks confoundedly at his opponent, unsure what to even make of her. Byrne beckons Marino forward with a finger, licking her teeth. Marino obliges and goes for her but Byrne slips underneath his legs in that little crawl of hers, just barely slipping underneath. Marino stumbles, caught bent forward and Byrne reaches between his legs to catch him by the wrist and pulls as hard as she can. Marino is somersaulted forward, onto his back with his wrists trapped by the UltraViolent Demigoddess. She keeps hold of them as she jumps up and nails Marino with a double foot stomp onto his chest! The wind leaves Marino as Byrne lets go of his wrists and hits a standing Moonsault Kneedrop for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT BY MARINO!
TWO!
KICKOUT BY MARINO!
Marino kicks out but Byrne comes at him again as he tries to roll away and pounces on him like an animal. At first it looks like she’s throwing regular shots at him until the referee notices she’s trying to take swipes with her nails. That’s when the official pulls her off and starts chiding her about watching the eyes. Byrne tilts her head up at the referee, either not understanding or perhaps she just doesn’t care and finds the scolding humorous. She sees Robert Marino getting back to his feet again and goes at him, taking him down with a Running Bulldog and goes right back to that animalistic attack pattern. Again, the referee pulls Byrne off and tells her if she keeps it up, she’ll be disqualified. Byrne…pouts. Exaggeratingly. Putting on the biggest sad face she can as the referee checks on Marino. While that’s being done, Byrne looks outside the ring and rolls out to the floor, crawling underneath the apron like a child digging for a toy under her bed.
Lucas Knox: The hell is she doing?
Olivia Mayfaire: You’re asking me? I don’t kn–oh wait, now. No, girl!
Byrne comes out with a steel chair, wiggling it at the crowd as if to say “look what I found!” She slides back into the ring and brandishes the chair as the referee looks back and sees her with it. The official turns around and starts warning her to hand it over or get rid of it. One of the two. Byrne shows him the chair then pulls it back like a child refusing to share her toy.
Lucas Knox: She’s gonna get disqualified if she uses that thing!
Olivia Mayfaire: Somehow? I don’t think she gives a shit, Lucas!
The ref steps forward and Byrne threatens with the chair, causing the ref to stumble out of the way. Unfortunately, the path to Marino is opened up and as the Devil Guard makes it to his feet and turns around, Byrne steps forward and CRACKS him over the skull with it. The ref calls for the bell!
~DING DING DING~
Isabella Salvatore: Here is your winner, as a result of disqualification, ROBERT MARINO!
Olivia Mayfaire: I told you she didn’t give a shit!
Lucas Knox: And now Marino’s busted wide open from that chair shot!
Byrne’s not finished, however, as she drops the chair in the middle of the ring and picks Marino up, setting him up for Visions Of Insanity (Sister Abigail). She leans down and LICKS THE BLOOD OFF OF HIS FOREHEAD before shrieking at the crowd like a banshee and drives Marino face first down onto the chair!
~DING DING DING DING DING DING~
“Voices” by Motionless In White plays as Byrne watches Marino from a few feet away in her gargoyle-esque pose. Kaede Tanabe crawls into the ring, brandishing her pepper spray and Byrne back crawls out of the ring on her belly, regrouping at ringside with Charlie Grace who seems more impressed than anything else at her client’s antics.
Lucas Knox: Well, that was an odd turn of events, folks. Your winner, by DQ, Rob Marino.
Olivia Mayfaire: Doesn’t look like much of a winner, unfortunately.
Lucas Knox: And Rowena Byrne doesn’t look too sore that she’s walking out of Canberra with a big fat L on her NFW record.
Winner: Robert Marino
Result: Disqualification (Foreign Object)

Match #3/Singles
Diamond Steele vs. Iida Matsuda
Iida and Diamond wasted no time in locking up, the two women almost evenly matched with similar builds. The two women battled for control, but Iida was able to gt Diamond in a strong side headlock, gaining control. With quick thinking from Steele, she threw a few elbows into Matsuda’s abdomen, causing the other woman to release the headlock. Grabbing her by the wrist, Diamond roughly tossed Iida into the corner. Running towards the woman, she went for a clothesline, but her opponent ducked and caused her to run into the turnbuckle herself. Letting out a grunt from the impact, Diamond turned to go after Iida again but was met with a hard roundhouse kick to the head. Diamond slumped back against the turnbuckles after the kick. Matsuda wasted no time in grabbing Steele, hitting her with a vicious snap suplex, sending her crashing down to the mat. As Iida went after Diamond again, Steele grabbed Iida and wrapped her in a schoolgirl pin, trying to go for a quick win.
ONE…
TW-
Iida kicked out at one and a half! The two women got back to their feet, but Matsuda was hit with a hard running DDT, being pinged to the mat hard. Steele got her opponent back to her feet only to send her sailing with a tiger suplex, but Matsuda scrambled back to her feet after a few moments, using the ropes to aid her in getting up. She stared at Steele for a moment before charging at her, grabbing and hitting a beautiful belly to belly suplex. Both women were beginning to feel the match as it continued on, but neither were ready to let the other get the upperhand easily. Iida charged at Diamond, but the woman ducked the incoming clothesline and jumped onto the ropes, hitting a springboard crossbody on Matsuda as the woman turned back towards her opponent. They both crashed to the mat, but Diamond jumped to her feet, a second wind overcoming the woman. Steele pulled Matsuda to her feet and whipped her into the ropes, going for the Diamond Cutter but Iida shoved Diamond into the ropes before charging in and Cactus Clotheslining her over the top rope. Both women crumpled down onto the ringside floor, with nasty landings and were unable to answer the referee’s 10 count, resulting in a double countout to end this match!

We open up inside of the locker room of Jenn Drew. We see her sitting in front of a television, a big smile on her face as she holds a remote control, pressing a couple of buttons and laughing before hitting the same two buttons and repeating this over and over again. The camera pans behind Jenn and on the television, we see the attack from Jenn on Alastair Frost at Funeral Derangements that ended the show and Jenn standing over the Destiny Champion with the title raised high in the air. Jenn finally turns the television off and the laughing continues as she just stares at the blank screen.Jenn Drew: How dare they keep me off of a show as big as Funeral Derangements?! How dare they try and diminish the spotlight that is supposed to always be on me?! Destiny is MY brand! Destiny is MY show and I just had to prove that to everyone in that locker room. Everyone thought I was some afterthought, that I was happy being in the background, being mediocre! No…I’m never okay with that! I will sow the seeds of chaos and my rise starts tonight.
Jenn finally turns to face the camera, a wicked grin on her face, almost a little deranged.
Jenn Drew: Tonight, I hope everyone on the Destiny roster is watching, especially you Alistair… especially you…
Jenn starts to laugh maniacally.
Jenn Drew: That spotlight you have…it’s mine and mine alone… nobody else can have it, nobody else deserves it! ONLY I DESERVE TO BE THERE!
Jenn takes a few deep breaths, but the twisted smile remains on her face.
Jenn Drew: Ronnie… you’re just the first in my line of victims…you had your taste of trying to be in the spotlight, but it’s not yours to have and tonight, the spotlight is on me…not you…not anybody else…ME! Nobody deserves to be in my spotlight of Destiny…Destiny is MY destiny to rule…I’m the one who should be at the top and nobody else will ever be as long as I’m around…
Jenn’s laughter begins again as she pulls the camera right up to her face.
Jenn Drew: Tonight Ronnie… tonight, you face your Curtain Call…
==========================================================
The camera finds Ronnie “Wicked” Lester standing in front of a wall seemingly all by himself. Ronnie “Wicked” Lester: Didn’t even wait five seconds…
Ronnie leans back against the wall, shaking his head in disgusted disbelief.
Ronnie “Wicked” Lester: Match hadn’t been over long enough for anybody to stand up and here comes Jenn Drew to remind everyone that she’s sick and tired of…
He shrugs as if the answer doesn’t really matter at all.
Ronnie “Wicked” Lester: Something.
Snickering to himself, his back bounces against the wall onto which he is leaning.
Ronnie “Wicked” Lester: Now she’s mad for some reason that probably don’t hold water but won’t make a difference because she done attacked the champ and we know Frost ain’t gonna take that lyin’ down no matter what she says to try and justify it. But that ain’t even the funny part…
He shakes his head and then points to himself.
Ronnie “Wicked” Lester: No, the funny part is that I’m playing gatekeeper tonight for somebody who the gate was never closed for anyway!
Looking away, Ronnie simply laugh at the very idea.
Ronnie “Wicked” Lester: Jenn Drew’s gonna act like she ain’t had opportunities and that she’s just takin’ what should have been hers a long time ago but she’s full of it and she knows it and that's really why she had go line jumpin’. She knows she’s had just as many opportunities as me, maybe even more. I ain’t been keepin’ an exact tally on everybody’ matches but I know it ain’t like she’s been paid to sit home for six months or nothin’.
Looking back to the camera, Ronnie smirks slightly.
Ronnie “Wicked” Lester: You butted into somethin’ you ain’t needed to step into. So now tonight we start the countdown until the champ gets to deal with you. I ain’t gonna make any promises, I'm just gonna say this…
He steps away from the wall.
Ronnie “Wicked” Lester: Even if this gets you what you think you want… it ain’t gonna be how you think it is. It ain’t gonna be the glory you think you been owed. Happy huntin’, just hope you don’t end up the prey yourself in the end.
==========================================================
Main Event/Non-Title
Jenn Drew vs. Ronnie Lester
Jenn wasted no time in running at Ronnie, nailing the man with a hard dropkick straight in his chest, causing him to take a couple of steps back. As she got back to her feet, Drew was met by Lester grabbing her, taking her down face first with a Russian legsweep. Getting back to his feet, Ronnie went to grab Jenn but was got a couple of swift, hard elbows to the side of the jaw for his troubles. He released her and stepped back, rubbing his jaw where her elbow had hit him. Drew was back on her feet as well, and she immediately charged at him, but he met her with a dropkick of his own, sending her falling backwards. As he came at her, Drew threw a hard kick straight into his knee, causing it to jerk back then make him go down on a knee. Acting quick, she nailed him with a rough enziguri, nailing him right in the side of the head. She backed up to a corner, waiting for him to get up so she could go after him again. Once he was back on his feet, Jenn ran at Lester to try and nail him with another dropkick, but he moved quick and countered with The Guilty Pleasure.
Lester had managed to put a little distance between the two after nailing Drew with a hard body press cutter. The two wrestlers were taking each other to the limit in this main event. They had been going back and forth, so it was no surprise to see Jenn leaning against the ropes, trying to catch her breath. Ronnie, with plans to take advantage of the situation, charged at the woman, looking to clothesline her over the ropes. Thinking quick, Jenn dropped down, pulling the ropes with her only to cause Lester to topple over them and hit the floor. Drew quickly jumped to her feet and surveyed the situation for a brief second before she climbed the ropes to the top turnbuckle. Without a second though, she leaped off and executed a beautiful Curtain Call. The 630 corkscrew senton hit hard, leaving both competitors laid out on the floor. After a few moments of neither wrestler moving, the referee began their count.
ONE…
TWO…

They both began stirring halfway through the count, but neither made any moves to getting back to their feet. With having no other choice, the referee had to continue their count.

Lucas Knox: We'll see where this rivalry leaves when we return for Destiny #12! This has been Lucas Knox, here with Olivia Mayfaire. Good night from Australia!
