NFW Collision #206!

Collision opens on the ring after the intro with Darlyn Fajardo standing at ringside, holding her microphone.

Darlyn Fajardo: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the CEO of New Frontier Wrestling…Steven Brody!

The crowd lets out a cheer as “Like A Shot” by Coming For Blood comes from the PA. Within a moment, Steven Brody appears, walking out of the tunnel, dressed, as usual, in a neat but casual suit. He walks his way down to the ring, slapping some outstretched hands before reaching the steps and walking up onto the apron. He steps into the ring, shaking Darlyn’s hand and being handed her microphone before she leaves him in the ring where he stands on a red carpet layered over the mat and a small pedestal in the center, covered with a black cloth. The music fades out as he looks around at the crowd, chanting.

Crowd: BRO-DY! BRO-DY! BRO-DY! BRO-DY! BRO-DY! BRO-DY! BRO-DY! BRO-DY!

Steven Brody: Chicago! How we doing this evening?!

He lets them respond with their pop before continuing.

Steven Brody: Damn glad to hear it. I won’t take up too much of your time but I wanted to make sure we got tonight started off right. A week ago today, New Frontier Wrestling put on one of the biggest shows we’ve had. You guys bought out every seat, the ratings were through the roof. We clocked in over ten thousand more subscribers to the Splat Network just in time for Ascension. It was the biggest show we’ve had outside of Wrestle War or the Vlad Blackheart Memorial, so from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of everyone at Headquarters and everyone back in those locker rooms…thank you!

Crowd: N-F-DUB! N-F-DUB! N-F-DUB! N-F-DUB! N-F-DUB! N-F-DUB! N-F-DUB! N-F-DUB!

Brody smiles, nodding his appreciation to the masses before raising his mic to continue.

Steven Brody: Each and every one of the men and women signed to this company, who step into this ring, they come out here and leave it all on the mat before your eyes each and every week. They set their minds to something, they set their goals, their aspirations. They never give up, because NFW is a land of opportunity to those who call themselves professional wrestlers. That can be especially said about the young talent I’m about to bring out to you here now. Ladies and gentleman of the Windy City, please…give it up for your NEW…New Frontier Wrestling…World Champion! JESSI! OZBORNE!

Brody turns and points towards the entryway.

Just then, that opening tone of Bring Me The Horizon’s “Kool-Aid” comes over the speaker, with the lights going out. The arena is left in suspense, with lights over the stage pulsing with each beat of the drum, eventually a spotlight rains down, with a silhouette underneath it. Everyone knows full and well who it is, but the lights only reveal it once the song really takes off with a…

CLAP! CLAP!

All the lights then burst to life, with the new NFW World Champion, Jessi Ozborne, illuminated under them! Her title is already raised in the air, with the entire sight getting a huge reaction from the fans!

Nick Hanson: Here she comes! The New NFW World Champion, and I can name quite a few people who are ecstatic to hear that!

Olivia Mayfaire: I’m not gonna lie. Knowing Jessi for as long as I have. Knowing how much she wanted this. How much she fought for this. Seeing this almost brings a tear to my eye!

Jim Reynolds: Awww, Liv! Don’t be sad because Alastair Frost’s reign is over! Smile because it happened!

Olivia Mayfaire: Hey Jim?

Jim Reynolds: Yeah, Liv?

Olivia Mayfaire: Shut the fuck up.

After handing Jessi another microphone, Brody stands beside the pedestal.

Steven Brody: Now, Jessi, I know I’m not the first and I certainly won’t be the last to say this but let me give a wholehearted congratulations on your victory last week.

He points to the World Championship she’s holding.

Steven Brody: I remember how much you said becoming World Champion means to you. You had your trials, your tribulations, your ups and your downs, but not once did you ever let the negatives get you down. Not once did you give up. That’s what makes a professional wrestler. THAT’s what makes a wrestler of the New Frontier!

He pauses to allow the crowd to let Jessi hear their appreciation.

Steven Brody: Now, that being said, it hasn’t escaped any of us how long you’ve been after the NFW World Championship. As a matter of fact, your aspirations of World Champion, precede that...

He points to the title held by her again.

Steven Brody: So, without killing any more time, let me be the first to tell you that that title you’re holding…you won’t be needing that anymore. I had a bit of a rush job done and I wasn’t sure it would be ready in time for tonight, but if I may boast a little, the people I choose to put my faith into, they never fail to come through. So, Jessi, call it a combination of something old and something new…allow me the honor of presenting you with the new...NFW World Championship!

Brody pulls back the cloth covering the pedestal and the crowd gasps in wonder at the championship belt that’s unveiled.



Olivia Mayfaire: Woooooow!

Nick Hanson: Some nostalgia with a new twist! Beautiful!

Jim Reynolds: Why does she get a brand new title?!

Olivia Mayfaire: Hey Jim?

Jim Reynolds: Yeah, Liv?

Olivia Mayfaire: Shut the fuck up.

Brody takes the current World Championship from Jessi, sets it on the pedestal in front of where the new belt is being displayed, before picking it up and presenting it to her with a handshake, and motioning to her that the floor is now hers. He lifts the old championship, folding it under his arm as he steps back and lets her address the crowd.

Jessi Ozborne: First off, Mr. Brody, I just wanna thank you for this! And I wanna say that I’m glad that you’re out here, because you figure a lot into how I got here.

Jessi adjusts the belt over her shoulder as she continues.

Jessi Ozborne: Just over two years ago, I was just a girl living in my car. I was at the end of my rope. I didn’t think I was gonna go any further in this sport that I love, and then your name popped up on my phone…and you offered to fly me out ot Chicago for a tryout.

The crowd gives an ovation to Brody on the back of Jessi’s words.

Jessi Ozborne: You and a friend of ours that’s no longer with us saw something in me. Something that I didn’t even see in myself. Something I had to dig deep to claw out of myself. But I got there, and now I finally have what stupid pink-haired girl a couple years ago defined as “everything I’ve ever wanted”.

The knowing amongst the crowd pop at the reference, while the unknowing just cheer to feel like they’re in on it, too.

Jessi Ozborne: And I have so many more people to thank for this. The Queens of Chaos, my sisters in arms. My mom and my brother. The most beautiful woman on this planet, my wife, Indigo. But who I wanna thank most of all…is all of you…

She gestures to the fans surrounding her.

Jessi Ozborne: Because, yes, those people helped me to believe in me when I couldn’t even believe in me, but they couldn’t always be out here with me during the tough fights. They couldn’t always be out here, week in and week out, cheering my name. Telling me that I’ve got this. Telling me to never give up. That job…was reserved for all of you.

The crowd gives her a huge ovation, returning the kind gesture with one of their own.

Crowd: YOU DE-SERVE IT!
clap clap clap clap clap
YOU DE-SERVE IT!
clap clap clap clap clap
YOU DE-SERVE IT!
clap clap clap clap clap
YOU DE-SERVE IT!
clap clap clap clap clap

Jessi Ozborne: And God, am I glad that y’all never gave up on me…because that belief has given me the platform to come out here and say…HELLO CHICAGO…

Crowd: PAPI’S HOME!!!


Jessi Ozborne: Nah, nah, nah, nah! Your new NFW World Champion is home, and she’s got a bit to discuss, so let’s get down to business!

The crowd gives a cheer of affirmation as Jessi continues.

Jessi Ozborne: See, because last week, I got a lot of admiration. A lot of congratulations. A lot of people telling me how proud they are. But with that, I also ended up with one question: “What now?”

Jessi begins to pace the ring now.

Jessi Ozborne: It’s a weird question. Not because of what it is, but because of the different tones in which people ask it. There are those who ask it with excitement over where I’m headed next. But then, there are also those who ask it condescendingly. Almost as if they don’t believe I have anywhere else to go from here. Like winning this was the peak. Like I have nothing else to aspire to.

Jessi gives the crowd an exaggerated look of confusion.

Jessi Ozborne: And see that has me confused, because as far as I know, this title hasn’t become any less sought after. And that locker room hasn’t gotten any smaller. The record for the longest reigning champion in this title’s history is 372 days. The record for most defenses is five. I plan on smashing through both of those records. Last Tuesday was about finishing the story…but now every day going forward is going to be about making history.

The crowd cheers at Jessi’s proclamation.

Jessi Ozborne: That said, we’ve got Reckoning Day next month, where my first defense will presumably be. But I don’t feel like waiting that long. I don’t feel like making all of you wait that long. So here’s what I’ve proposed to our GM. Next week, we’re gonna have a match. Whoever wins it, will get an opportunity at this title in weeks time. That match will be between—

Cait Flanagan: Oh my God, have you not wasted enough of our time?

The Million Dollar Baby makes her way down the ramp, ignoring the fans who started booing the moment they heard her speak. She’s dressed in a clinging black dress and spike heeled boots, with her red hair pulled back in a high ponytail. When she steps into the ring, she looks down her nose at Jessi with a patronizing smile.

Cait Flanagan: There’s not going to be a match in a week’s time, and then a title defense for you after that. Absolutely the hell not. Because there’s no need to have a number one contender’s match when you have me standing right here.

Jessi smiles at Cait, trying her hardest to hide her annoyance.

Jessi Ozborne: Listen…I don’t know how you think you’re talking to or where you think you are. Quite frankly, I don’t care either. But as long as I’m holding this…?

Jessi raises her title in the air, keeping her eyes on Cait all the while.

Jessi Ozborne: Collision is the Jessi Ozborne Show. And on MY show, the only way you get what you want is by earning it. Period. So how about you—

Cait Flanagan: I just beat Zoey Madigan-Star, who’s a very big deal despite being an absolutely oblivious idiot. So why on earth would I wait to find out if some little girl with a shiny belt remembers who on this roster is actually worthy of a title shot? I’m taking what I’m owed, instead of waiting to be given what I deserve. I am your next challenger, Jessi, whether you like it or not. And if you don’t go along with it? I’ll make sure none of your ‘chosen’ contenders for your little match are able to compete. Have I made myself clear? Or do you need me to talk slower and include crayon illustrations so you can understand what I’m saying?

Jessi gives a low snicker at what Cait is saying. Though it’s extremely obvious that she feels very differently on the inside, as she’s trying her hardest to keep her composure.

Jessi Ozborne: Y’know it’s funny. You come out here talking about me wasting these people’s time and belittling me by calling me a “little girl”. Yet here you are in front of me right now, wasting everyone’s time, and going on about what you deserve like an entitled pre-schooler.

Jessi pauses to let the reactions seep in.

Jessi Ozborne: But I’m gonna do something I rarely ever do. I’m gonna humor you. You say you deserve a shot? Fuck it. Two weeks from now, you got your match. And when this “little girl” kicks your ass to keep this “shiny belt”, you can take comfort in knowing that you’ll be the answer to a trivia question: “Who was the first to run up and done up by The Galaxy’s Champion, Jessi Ozborne?”

Jessi drops her microphone as “Kool-Aid” begins to hit the speakers again.

Olivia Mayfaire: Only just a week in, and the Queen of Queens already has a solid contender!

Nick Hanson: She said she didn’t wanna waste any time as champ, but I fear she may have bitten off more than she can chew! Cait Flanagan has all the skills necessary to make sure Ozborne is the shortest reigning World Champion in company history!

Jim Reynolds: And the world will be better off for it!

Olivia Mayfaire: Hey Jim?

Jim Reynolds: Yeah, Liv?

Olivia Mayfaire: Shut the fuck up.

Jessi holds her title up, with her and Cait coming face to face as we fade.
Chris Matthews starts to arrive at the arena. He’s wearing a black T-shirt, black loose fitting pants, black sneakers, black tinted shades, and a black “Wolves of Odinn” beanie on his head. He has a duffle bag on his shoulder. He takes off his shades and sees Skylar in the distance.

Chris Matthews: Well, I didn’t think I would see you already. But I guess we’re on the same brand, which makes me have to see you around here.

Skylar was already in her ring gear for her match later in the evening, having arrived a little earlier than others had, when she heard the all too familiar voice behind her. She grimaced a little as she turned around, still quite sore from the match she and Chris had at Ascension, but ready for her match against Azurine at the same time.

Skylar Carsons: Yeah well…I was booked for this week. It doesn’t matter how badly I’m hurting; if I’m booked, or even if I’m not, I’m going to be here.

Carsons gave Matthews a little shrug as she looked at him. Her hat covered the few stitches that she had received thanks to their match, but her gear did little to hide the still healing bruises from it. She looked up at him, nodding a little before speaking again.

Skylar Carsons: We put on a Hell of a match…no pun intended.

You see the stitches in his head that were still slightly covered by his beanie on his head. Chris knew that he was still sore, but had to come into work anyways.

Chris Matthews: Ain’t that the truth, Skylar? Seems like both you and I are booked. You, semi main event. Me, main event. Guess they took a huge interest in us, didn’t they?

He put his bag down on the ground and hisses in pain. The pain in his shoulder is still there, but knew that he had to fight off if he wanted to get his momentum tonight.

Chris Matthews: And it seems like you and I have the same thing going, don’t we? Booked or not, we come to work. Course, if I’m not booked, I’ll be in catering eating food. Anyways, how is the body doing? That was one hell of a fall that you had last week.

Skylar Carsons: No one ever said we weren’t alike in some ways, Chris. You’ve just got more years in this business behind you than I do. But yeah, it looks like we impressed them, alright.

Skylar turned her hat around, carefully, the bill no longer hiding her stitches. She let out a laugh when he brought up the fall off of the cell, and her hand went to her lower back.

Skylar Carsons: Man…I’m still hurting like Hell. Today is really the first day I’ve done more than just trying to relax as much as possible.

She gave another small nod before a light grin came to her face.

Skylar Carsons: Even with hurting still, I know you’ll give the crowd an awesome main event.

Carsons smiled sincerely before she put her hand out towards him.

Skylar Carsons: We took each other to the limit. Hell, you took me out of my comfort zone, and we killed it. I’d say that’s old business settled.

Chris Matthews: That we can agree on, Skylar. What happened in WWH is done for. Now, that it over, you can focus on more stuff for your future and so can I.

He leans down as he wince In pain again to grab his duffle bag. He put it on his shoulder and put his shades back on his face.

Chris Matthews: And thats what I do best,Skylar. I take people out of their comfort zone. If you stay there, you won't get far. Anyways, keep an ice pack around. You may need it.

He walked past Skylar to head to his locker room. He was still in pain, but knows that he has to hide if he wants to win tonight. He gets to his locker room as the camera fades on Skylar watching him leave. She walks away to get herself warmed up for her match tonight.
We cut backstage to the Kingdom locker room where we see Lilith Meadows, holding the Perseverance Championship over her shoulder, wearing just a pair of blue jeans and and simple black shirt. Beside her we see Christina Olson, wearing her ring gear, getting herself ready for her match coming up soon. She looks at Lilith who returns the look with a smile.

Christina Olson: I gotta get myself back on track here tonight. I can’t go out there and lose another match. That’s all I’ve been good at recently and it’s really starting to get to me, Lil.

Lilith nods her head, understanding as she places a hand on Christina’s shoulder.

Lilith Meadows: We get it, Chrissy. We one hundred percent understand what you’re goin through, but you ain’t alone in all of this. You got us and you got the rest of the Kingdom by your side to help you through it all.

Christina Olson: I know, Lily. I know y’all got my back, but sometimes, I gotta figure it out on my own and right now, it’s startin to feel like I gotta do this my way or else I ain’t never gonna get out of this damn funk I’m in.

Lilith nods her head, pulling Christina into a quick hug.

Lilith Meadows: Well, just do me a favor, kick a little goblin booty tonight. We never did trust those things. They ain’t never been anything good and you can trust us on that one.

The door to the locker room rattles a little before opening as Caelynna enters alongside Pandemonia. They approach the two who are already in the room. Caelynna has added a bright red wig to her attire tonight.

Caelynna: I told you I could get the door unlocked! It's the real fire starter here in the room right here! Yuh-yuh!

Caelynna motions to herself in reference to her comment. As they stand directly opposite Christina and Lilith, Pandemonia stands slightly in front of Caelynna.

Pandemonia: Oh look, it's two members of the Kingdom... And what exactly do you rule over in this Kingdom of yours? Nothing?

Caelynna: It's a kingdom, maybe a couple somebodies and a lot of nobodies. I'll show little Chrissy here just how little worth she has to that Kingdom of hers.

Pandemonia: I completely ran through the muscle of the Kingdom in my latest match on Trauma.

Caelynna laughs.

Caelynna: Yuh, River didn't stand a Chance! Still Missy Chrissy, I'll steal more than your appearance and gimmick backstage tonight. I'll steal the victory from you too! Yuh-yuh, YUH YUH!

Chrissy just rolls her eyes as she pushes past Caelynna and heads out of the locker room in a huff of anger and frustration as Pandemonia looks at Caelynna who gives her a little wave to tell her to wait outside for a moment. As Pandemonia steps out, Lilith is standing there arms crossed, just staring at Caelynna who looks at Lilith confused for a moment before a smile comes across her face, one of almost recognition of the resident Faerie who gives that same look of recognition back. The two just stare each other down before Caelynna takes a look at the Perseverance Championship over Lilith’s shoulder and just gives a grin before she turns and heads out of the locker room.
Tanja remained standing while she was at the shrine that was always set up while at the Colosseum with her back facing the world as she did not want to interact with anyone in the building. The voice of the Cajun was laced with different tones that most rarely heard from her while she was doing her prayers. The Cajun finally revealed her face as she cocked her head slightly, her eyes flickering colour before she turned back to the shrine.

Tanja Devereaux: Johnny Towers, the minion of chaos incarnate, you have made yourself a few enemies after the stunt you pulled last week. Others may keep their anger to a simmering boil but we, on this rare occasion, will be expressing full anger for what you have done.

Tanja rarely shared the emotion of anger but with the current events, she had her own reasons to express it even during a professional manner.

Tanja Devereaux: We understand that losing championships is part of the business as a whole but when it comes at the hands of someone who interjects himself to make a story for himself. We understand the terms of the division but perhaps Johnny is looking to deal with the repercussions of his actions.

The Cajun is heard laughing lightly under her breath as she comes up with some various ideas about her own ideas while she looks at the Shrine.

Tanja Devereaux: Be cautious in the future Mr. Towers as you will never know when we will come for you or how we will come after you. We may have values of Chaos like Mr. Towers but our chaos is very subtle and destructive against those who are ignorant of our ways.

Tanja placed a small photo of Johnny on the shrine along with some Gris Gris beside the photo with a cackle.

Tanja Devereaux: You are warned Towers and you will never know when we will strike or how.
The crowd cheers as we see Sanada preparing in the locker room backstage by lacing her boots. They cheer louder as they realize both Emperor Aces are in the room when Jordan Majors walks in and looks down at her friend and tag team partner. Majors turns to show she is wearing a Jessi Ozborne shirt as she puts her hands on her hips.

Jordan Majors: You ready to do this again? Back as a team again?

Sanada: Of course, it's more than ready because our teamwork is great, you know Jordan, so rest assured I'm very ready for the teamwork.

Majors nods at Sanada’s words and then crosses her arms.

Jordan Majors: Listen, I know we’ve both been through some tough times here lately. We both lost some big matches. Hell, I feel like I’m barely treading water here. About to drown. But we’ve achieved a lot before together so I don’t see any reason why we can’t go out there tonight and put a little momentum back under our wings.

I mean, do something that makes us feel better about our places here in NFW again?

Jessi Ozborne: My girls!!!

Just then, Jessi Ozborne enters the room, her brand new NFW World Championship belt draped over her shoulder. She takes turns giving them both hugs.

Jessi Ozborne: How y’all feeling? You guys are gonna crush it tonight!

Sanada: I feel the same... I mean just go out and beat them, nothing more than that. I've been through this for a long time before I'm excited, so Jordan and I are sure to win this match to show why The Emperor Aces are still the best team in NFW right now and have always been since this team happened.

Jordan Majors: We could just really use a pick me up on these shows. And why not someone affiliated with those terrible motorcycle junkies?

Jessi Ozborne: It’s like we can’t escape em. But hey, I agree. You guys taking that W tonight is pretty much a certainty. You two are the fuckin best, and now y’all got a chance to show everyone that again. Hell, maybe even get some title opportunities of your own.

As Jessi is saying all this, Sanada’s eyes are locked on the World title on Jessi’s shoulder. Jessi seems to notice this a bit, shifting her stance a bit at the sight.

Jessi Ozborne: But regardless, at least what y’all got tonight isn’t as insufferable as who I had a run in with.

Jordan watches Jessi shift her stance and looks at Sanada before she laughs and snaps her fingers.

Jordan Majors: Earth to Sanada! We’ve got a match to prepare for here. What you staring at?

Sanada: Mmm? oh nothing I just saw a fly around Jo’s title. So yeah yeah we got a match to prepare for tonight then let’s go? I guess.

Sanada shifted her gaze away from Jessi Ozborne's NFW World Champion and then turned to look at Jordan Majors's face. Sanada Seryu is now smileless, it was unpredictable from Sanada right now. The silence between the three hangs for a bit, before Jessi cuts into it

Jessi Ozborne: Anyway...good luck, guys! I’ll be back here watching and we’ll celebrate after!

Jordan and Sanada walk off as Jessi watches, a tinge of concern crossing her face. She fails to notice Jason Shade, who had been sitting behind where Jordan and Sanada were standing, watching the entire interaction go down as we fade.
Cameras go inside Konrad Raab's locker room, where he's once again sitting in a pretty dark room with a green LED light near him. This week, he was alone without Jason Gray due to his loss against Lilith Meadows and Kaya Parker for the NFW Perseverance title at Ascension Five Supershow. He looks straight at the camera, shaking his head in frustration with the loss, but needed to sit in the darkness.

Konrad Raab: "I know I usually have Jason Gray to talk with me, but I decided not to have him today because quite frankly, I'm not in a good mood right now. Losing a match sucks, but it sucks even more. I had to lose by submission, especially since it looked like I was in pain physically. I want to tell you why I tapped. I'm not going to deny I did, but I didn't tap because the physical pain was too much; I can handle the physical pain better than most wrestlers can, but I tapped because mentally, I was in pain. That is the truth; no excuses, considering I'm confronting a lot of my demons from my past and currently in and out of wrestling, and I have since I got here."

It was so hard that Konrad continued to shake his head, placing his hands over his face, not even wanting to look at the camera in the darkness

Konrad Raab: "The loss because of me being a mental quitter is a really hard pill to swallow, and I'm mad at myself for letting myself tap out like a pussy quite frankly. No excuses, Lilith, you caught me when I was suffering from mental pain. I'm a nervous wreck, which I must take care of because I still have much to improve. To feel this loss and shrug it off is not easy for me; it's truly not. I do respect you, Lilith, honestly, but trust me, you've not knocked me down because I will be back to the top and will be back mentally better than before."

Konrad was clearly mad at the loss but mad at himself, and he was only going to speak once more

Konrad Raab: "That's a good question; what is Konrad going to do now? Honestly, I'm going to wait for what comes next because right now, I don't have any goals other than feeling I must get back on my winning ways and find someone to unload my anger and frustration of the loss I had and I could find them tonight, just haven't discovered them yet. I feel sorry for the poor man or woman who wants to provoke me because I will bite the head of the snake, as the saying goes, because I'm going to be angry and aggressive in my next match, and nobody will like me."

The intensity in Konrad's eyes before he jumps off the chair and throws it at the wall before he looks to the camera as the cameras go elsewhere in the arena.
Alastair had been in D.C. for the past week with Banshee after Ascension as he recovered from the battle for the World title that ended him losing the title to Jessi. He needed to regenerate his batteries and the time with Banshee had helped him greatly. She had joined him on the flight to Chicago and was on hand visiting some of the other Wolves of Odinn while he dealt with his business.

Alastair Frost: Jessi may have come out with the victory and the title but I expect her to continue the honor and the legacy that the title holds on Collision. I brought a strong reign as World Title and gave the unexpected at the same time. She may be content to have the title in her hands now but I will not hesitate in reminding her that now she is the TARGET! She doesn’t know who will come after her for the title nor will she know when or how the title will be taken from her.

Alastair kept his Marine mind set under control when he saw his fellow Nomad charter members Spider and Destroyer arrive to greet him. He gave both of them the greeting of respect as it was rare to have all three of them together under the same roof.

Alastair Frost: Greetings to you both. Having many of the Nomad charter together is a sight to see. Abigaile is spending some time with Anubis while Thunder is holding down the fort at the Clubhouse in D.C.

ISIS: Fate was on Jessi’s side. Come to think of it, Fate dealt the Queens of Chaos a favorable hand...

ISIS sighs. She’s not only referring to Jessi becoming World Champion. In Zion, QoC completed the clean sweep of her Genesis of Destruction, including Blaze Darling taking the World Championship from her.

ISIS: Jessi’s fairytale will end eventually. Up to Fate. Forget about Jessi and The Queens. We have more important matters to discuss. In fact, I have a favor to request.

Alastair stood and looked at Isis as she spoke in a firm voice in regards to the matter she wished to discuss. He knew she had the strength needed to represent the Wolves as the V.P of the Nomad Charter and her own personal plans while in Zion.

Alastair Frost: What is it that you would like to discuss Isis? It is rare for you to ask a favor of anyone. I know you have too much pride to ask anyone for help in any form.


ISIS: Genesis of Destruction was always fallible. We accomplished a lot. The cracks were there. The world expects me to be consumed with rage over Maki’s betrayal, the truth is I’m not. Fate has a way of revealing the truth. It’s unlikely the others would go out of their way to “avenge” my betrayal. That’s fine. We weren’t a family. But there is one person in Genesis of Destruction who I believe would benefit from a change of environment. Both of you are aware of Kaya Parker...

Trixie, who has remained uncharacteristically quiet this whole time, continues the trend. She pauses at Kaya’s name, exchanging glances with Alastair but nodding silently.

Alastair Frost: I do not know her but I am familiar with her and her work as of late in the ring. She is an interesting broad indeed. I assume you are asking if she is to join our charter. If so, will you vouch for her?

ISIS nods.

ISIS: Yes. I don’t want to abandon her. Doubt Eden cares. And Hana, she warmed up to me overtime. Doubt she’ll form the same attachment to Kaya. I promised her when she joined G.O.D I could offer her what The Queens of Chaos failed to. I intend to honor my promise whether she becomes one of us or not. I’ll reach out. There’s a chance she doesn’t want to take this journey. If she is, want to know if you’re open to her becoming one of us.

Alastair listened to Isis’s concern and could hear the concern she had for Kaya. He understood being protective of people when he came to be president of the Nomad charter and anyone who was brought in he considered his family.

Alastair Frost: I understand that and I will be open to her becoming one of us. If Spider agrees and Thunder also agrees when I text her, perhaps she can begin as a prospect for the Nomad charter and we can see how she can handle the standards of the Wolves.

ISIS:That’s fair.

Trixie thinks a moment before finally speaking.

Trixie Decker: I don’t know Kaya well but I trust ISIS’s judgment. If she thinks Kaya should be brought in, I’m in favor of it. And since we’re a pack, I think we owe it to ISIS to help her keep that promise. NFW is hard on lone wolves, after all. My vote is, “yes.”

ISIS smiles.

ISIS: Thanks Spider.

While ISIS and Trixie were talking, Alastair was texting Thunder to see her opinion on the matter. Once he got the answer and put his phone into his back pocket and looked at the 2 women with him.

Alastair Frost: I just talked with Thunder and she is in agreement. You can extend your offer of a prospect position in the Nomad Charter and see what she tells you.
Subtle static shifts our streaming broadcast backstage to a rhetorical redhead. An intrepid cameraperson scrambles to pan their lens properly. “Da Astute Angel” Azurine Vebbins ceases cracking yardsticks against her dressing room door. She composes herself with contrite candor upon being caught.

Azurine Vebbins: Chicagoan Chapter of my Choir Cacophonic, I’ve been errantly erratic durin’ exhibitions. It’s been a crushin’ calendar curve of lessons learned. Tandem Appetite pancake pummeled me last week. Two weeks prior, “Da Vivacious Variable” wasn’t sensational enough to wrest away da ZION Wrestlin’ VIRAL Championship from Gianna Rojas. Lluvia Salvatore, Da Regulators, Diamond Caldwell, Etsuko Mitzusaka, Sofia Hilton, Zoey Madigan-Star, and Ace Sky. Each added “Applied Agony of Deft Defeat” to my Collision course catalog. Yes, I endured an excruciatin’, extensive, and enhanced education.

Anomalies also arose. I sent Austin Ramsey, Lluvia Salvatore, and Rei Park twice to deyr assigned seats of Stygian studies. Deyr should also be asterisks in reference to my tangos against T.A. & Da Regulators. Bode times I was partnered wid da last lass picked for chemistry class. As mentioned in social media meanderin’s, dis dame respects Kasumi Kaneko. However, when combined we’re combustible elements. Explosive expletive energy, everybody! Explains why I effused eccentric electricity via smackin’ yardsticks earlier, right? Right. Den again, maybe deyr’s a different radical rationalization.

May 7 happens to be Teacher Appreciation Day. Additionally, I’m crossin’ da most promisin’ pupil from dis brand off my Dream Dance List. Skylar Carson’s a solid Grade A grappler. On an alternative school night, deyr’s peer-reviewed research Miss Carson could flail me to da flunkin’ flamenco floor. She’s a textbook test of technical tenacity. Tonight, dough, Missus Vebbins shall matriculate her mod mass. I hear deyr are unbelievable universities in da underworld.

Mrs. Vebbins smirks satisfactorily while patting down her rainbow flannel blouse to remove wrinkles. She leaves the cameraperson in complete contemplation. Her entrance theme then proceeds to blare through the arena’s various backstage pipes.

Marilyn Manson's "Personal Jesus"" plays through the PA as Collision returns from a short ad break. Adrianna Salvatore is still out by the ring as the rest of the Alliance Champions, Cherry Blackman and Jamie Austin are joining their teammate in the ring. With her 3rd of the titles being handed to her by Jamie, Adrianna motions at the timekeeper’s table to get ring announcer Darlyn Fajardo’s attention. Adrianna nods pointedly as if to say “You will do it right now!”

Darlyn Fajardo: Here are your NFW Alliance Champions... SEDITION RISING!!!

Adrianna nods again as if to say, “Good girl,” to her, before turning to enter the ring and join her partners in the center. Rather than the usual of Adrianna being the voice, she slaps the mic into Jamie’s hand and leans against the ropes, scanning the crowd with an intense gaze. Jamie smirked as she adjusted the Alliance Championship on her shoulder before raising the microphone.

Jamie Austin: Ah…that announcement never gets old, does it?

Austin paused, a laugh and eye roll coming from the woman as the crowd began booing loudly. It wasn’t anything new to the group, but Jamie still found it amusing when it happened.

Jamie Austin: You people just don’t get it yet, do you? Everything we say we’re going to do, we do! Everyone that has tried to step in our way has been taken down!

Jamie paused again as she looked between Cherry and Adrianna, a smirk back on her face as she did. She licked her lips before continuing.

Jamie Austin: Together and individually, we have dominated left and right. There hasn’t been a person or team that has been able to stand in our way, and yet, none of you can seem to grasp or accept that we’re not going anywhere!

The crowd’s growing volume caused Jamie to lower the microphone, briefly, and scoff. She looked between the other two women again, shaking her head. Another raise of the mic only made the fans try to get louder, irritating Austin more and more as it continued.

Jamie Austin: Show some damn respect! No team on either show can take us! Arsenal, Phantom Troupe, Thicc Attack…we’ve taken them down! At Ascension, we took down Mayhem 2.0 and proved yet again why we are the best team in this damn company! And we will continue to take down anyone that crosses our path!

The opening strains of Halestorm’s “Mayhem” start rocking the sound system and the members of Mayhem, Ashley Kenyon and Stacy Jones make their way out, glaring at the people in the ring. They march to the ringside area and step up into the ring.

Ashley Kenyon: Aw, you didn’t think we were done, did you?

Stacy Jones: We’re not done until we say we’re done… especially considering how Ascension went down… and that you’re still eyeballing my sister-in-law.

Ashley Kenyon: Now I know you can look at us and notice something’s missing. Like we always said, there was always a Jones, a Kenyon and a Maguire…

She smirks.

Ashley Kenyon: And then the mouthy lunatic that might steal my black tooth grins so…

She nods grimly to Sedition Rising.

Ashley Kenyon: But things happened that you took advantage of and we’re in a bit of a situation with Sorsh and Bitty both possibly not cleared any time soon.

She motions between herself and Stacy.

Ashley Kenyon: So we talked it over and then, we made a call for while things get sorted out for them…

The crowd goes quiet, slightly murmuring at what those words could possibly mean. Suddenly, Cro-Mags “Apocalypse Now” hits. A hooded figure walks out onto the stage.

Nick Hanson: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

Jim Reynolds: COULD IT BE?!?!

And then the figure in the hooded coat standing on stage is finally revealed when the lights go back to normal.

Olivia Mayfaire: BECCA "BRUISER" MAGUIRE IS BACK!!!

Maguire begins to make her way down the ramp as in the ring, Sedition Rising are going ape over the sudden return of the Shieldmaiden, while on the other side of things, both Jones and Kenyon have big smiles on their faces.

Nick Hanson: I can barely hear myself speak, guys!

Jim Reynolds: This place is going insane!

Olivia Mayfaire: I don’t think anyone was expecting this to happen!

Bruiser reaches the bottom of the ramp and then climbs up onto the ring apron and then through the ropes so that she’s standing in between Jones and Kenyon. The stare down now between all six competitors sends the fans into an even bigger frenzy.

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!! <clap><clap><clapclapclap> THIS IS AWESOME!!! <clap><clap><clapclapclap> THIS IS AWESOME!!! <clap><clap><clapclapclap>

“Apocalypse Now” fades out as Maguire slowly pulls back her hood and removes her sleeveless coat and then removes the face mask, all the while not taking her eyes off Sedition Rising. Blackman then steps up to Bruiser, getting in her face and begins to mouth off to her, to which Maguire responds with a swift headbutt to the bridge of the nose and the fight is on as Kenyon and Austin go at it while Jones and Salvatore go at it with Maguire and Blackman going at it!

Nick Hanson: And here we go!

Jim Reynolds: This is insane!

Olivia Mayfaire: These six are tearing into each other like they owe the other money!

As all six women hammer each other repeatedly with haymakers, Austin attempts a clothesline on Kenyon only for her to duck the shot and then she nails Austin with the Kiss Off which sends her over the top rope.

Nick Hanson: There goes Jamie!

Blackman goes for a spinning heel kick on Bruiser, only for the older woman to duck the shot before then nailing her with a Superman Punch that sends Blackman through the top and middle rope to the outside.

Jim Reynolds: There goes Cherry!

Salvatore charges at Jones with a big boot, however The Unbreakable One ducks it causing the much larger woman to get hung up on the ropes allowing Jones to nail her with the Bat-Hammer which sends her all the way out of the ring where she joins her Sedition Rising cohorts.

Olivia Mayfaire: And there goes Adrianna! This updated version of Mayhem 2.0 has just sent the Alliance Champions packing!

“Mayhem” blasts out of the PA system again as Jones, Maguire and Kenyon all dare Sedition Rising to get back into the ring to continue the fight, and while Blackman and Austin both appear to take them up on the offer, Salvatore thinks better of it and stops them. Speaking to the two of them, the trio then back their way up the ramp, deciding to wait and fight another day as we cut elsewhere.
Chris stood up and had his hand raised in the air. The ref checks up on Kasumi as “God of War” blasts throughout the P.A system. He looks down as Kasumi slowly gets up to their hands and knees. That’s when Chris Matthew ruins towards the ropes and hits another Reign of Thunder. The fans booed Chris.

Nick Hanson: What a sick act by Chris Matthews.

He grabs a mic and looks at the camera as he gives off a smile.

Jim Reynolds: Let’s see what he needs to say about this.

Chris Matthews: Jessi Ozborne, I want to say congratulations to you on your victory against Frost. I want you to take a look at what happened to Kasumi. I want you to understand everything. Cause, I want you to know that I’m coming for you and that NFW World Championship that you have around your waist.

He moves towards the ropes and puts his hand through his own hair as he continues to speak to Jessi.

Chris Matthews: Jessi, your time as champion will be coming to an end and I’m going to be there to be the one to take it. Enjoy it while you can.

He drops the mic as he backs away and smiles.
