General Rankor - Recovering from injuries suffered in the Torture Chamber at Battle of Centra
House of Pain - Back on Centrapolis releasing the hostages as per the agreement of their Street Fight. The Regulators offered to stay behind and help oversee but Tiber Callisto politely declined.
"You've done your part gentlemen, and we thank you for that. Allow myself and Centrapolis's finest to take care of this, you take care of business in aCe!"
Avarice - The new aCe champion is still partying and celebrating his win at Battle of Centra back home in Tarkania
- Number 1 contenders -
After great showings at Battle of Centra the number one contender's matches were basically set -
NuBorn Destruction, The Hellraisers, and Hustler and Scorch all had big wins in their respective matches. They would meet to see who gets the right to take on Shock Syndicate at Primal Fear.
NuBorn Destruction, The Hellraisers, and Hustler and Scorch all had big wins in their respective matches. They would meet to see who gets the right to take on Shock Syndicate at Primal Fear.
Ventross, Shepard, and Paganax would meet to determine a challenger to Avarice, until Nicodemus voiced his displeasure.
"Nobody from the Black Gathering has a horse in this fight. I demand representation! Godsend just lost so it shouldn't be him. By the official rankings the next person best suited for this match is Hybrid!"
Although seeing right through this plan to have his man added to the match everyone agreed thus making the first four way Lava Pit match!
Nicodemus voiced his concerns with this as well.
"There is an unfair advantage having the match take place in the Pits! Those critters will do everything in their power to make sure Paganax wins!"
Tiring of this whole ordeal Paganax acquiesced.
"No interference. No problem."
- Mutual Assured Destruction -
Half a continent away from the Lava Pits sits Syndicate Headquarters. In his war room General Rankor sits alone in the dark surrounded by a dozen Holo-vid monitors playing different scenes simultaneously. The live feed of the aCe show had just ended and the Mad Scientists sits with a finger hovering just above a red button. He's been sitting motionless in this position for the duration of the show.
"I could end it all right now." he thought.
"I could press this button and thousands of bombs would descend on the aCe destroying them all."
"I could press this button and thousands of bombs would descend on the aCe destroying them all."
Of course the Mothership would retaliate as would Centra Prime, no doubt annihilating everything he had built but it would almost be worth it.
His face still swollen and bruised from the Torture Chamber match sat staring as the new number one contender was crowned. As the teams loaded their space crafts and left Primus airspace he slowly removed his finger from the red button and made a fist. Realizing he had missed the whole event he commanded his computer to queue up the show.
"TRINITY play..."
Return to the Lava Pits

- What He Sees -
While still apart of the Planet Primus group the Mad Scientist had bugged the other teams barracks with tiny cameras and microphones.
"This way we can get a leg up on the competition and stay a step ahead in this war!"
The plan never came to fruition because of the Heathen Chief's distrust. With Rankor not attending the show Paganax had lightened up on the restrictions of the other teams allowing them off their ships and into their old "locker room areas".

Rankor had sent his tag champions to the Lava Pits under the guise of scoping out the competition in the number one contenders match. By having the Shock Syndicate in the area the General was able to boost his signal, video everything in barracks and play it back at will. He sat for hours doing this.
"TRINITY. Play first match."

Aegis vs. Rotwurm
Aegis defeated Rotwurm with RAMPART'S REVENGE at 4:39
Match Rating: Squash
Aegis had been avoiding this match since he first laid eyes on Rotwurm.
Aegis had been avoiding this match since he first laid eyes on Rotwurm.
"It's not Rouser, Aegis. The best plan of action is to go in there, take care of business and get out."
Aegis knew Lance At-Las meant well with this advice but he would do the exact opposite.
The whole match Aegis would talk to Rotwurm as if he was Rouser.
"Aspin is coming along nicely, you'd be amazed at his progress."
Aegis would hit a BattleGear Bodypress.
"We got Trisis back, it looks like she will make a full recovery."
Aegis would lay in some forearms. After hitting RAMPART'S REVENGE Aegis knelt next to his friend.
"We hanged your banner in the Palladium. I'll make sure it never comes down buddy. Thank you for everything. "
He then climbed out never looking back.
-The Ravager Barracks -
"TRINITY, cross-check Ravagers and Rankor. Show."
Nemean is pacing back and forth while Ventross does some light stretching in preparation of his match later tonight. The Others are in the middle of their match with Light Brigade. Ventross let the pacing go on for as long as he could.
"Nemean, you have to stop that, you're making me dizzy."
"I'm sorry Ventross I just don't want to let you guys down tonight. I want to defend this title more than anything. I wanna prove I can pull my own weight. Murdok made the challenge thinking I'm the weak link. I want to show him he's wrong."
Ventross stopped his stretching.
"Murdok is sending Gheist to do his dirty work, Nemean. Make him regret that decision tonight. We believe in you."
Nemean stood up puffing his chest out.
"You know what? You're right! I'm gonna make him look like Rankor after Paganax got done with him!"
Nemean ran off to prep for his match as Ventross chuckled to himself.
Rankor was seething that the runt of the team was getting his digs in. He would not forget.

The Others vs. The Archangels
Gabriel defeated Omni with a Double Flight Kick at 10:01
Match Rating: 3.00
Match Rating: 3.00
Both teams were unhappy with how things played out in their match at Battle of Centra and wanted another chance to go at it. They met in the middle of the ring shaking hands before the opening bell. That is were the niceties stopped. Both teams traded blows in the ring until The Others took over hitting stereo shiranui's. They would double team the Archangels with TimeLine and Parallel Pulse alternating between the two. Odyssey would try to climb out but Exodus flew up grabbing his foot and pulling him back to the Lava Pit ground, belly-flopping hard. Gabriel managed to turn the tides on Omni hitting Heavenly Barrage over and over. Picking up a rock Gabriel rained down blows to Omni's head. Gabriel and Exodus then made their accent up the wall, stopping half way up and hitting a Double Flight Kick on Omni putting the exclamation point on this match.
- Tabula Rosa -
"TRINITY cross-check Tabula Rosa and Rankor. Show."
Rankor knew this was a long shot and he was correct. Nicodemus and the rest of Tabula Rosa stayed on their space craft the entire duration of the show. He could try and hack their system but that would be a waste of time. Annoyed the General gave a follow up command.
"TRINITY play next match."
- Lava Pits -
Esperanto vs. Noxious
Esperanto defeated Noxious with DEAD MAN'S HAND at 0:38
Match Rating: Squash
Noxious tries starting the match with a shoulder check. Esperanto looks at him and wallops him in the head with a ringside rock!
From there Esperanto nailed the undead man with DEAD MAN'S HAND, rock and all! It took Esperanto longer to climb up the wall then it did the
entire match.

"TRINITY cross-check Regulators and Rankor. Show."
- Regulators Barracks -
Esperanto returned to the Regulator barracks in relatively quick fashion.
"Damn sheriff! You go "Paganax" on that boy or what? Haha!"
Hustler was rather impressed by the speed in which his partner won. Scorch was as well.
"Don't mention Paganax around me, Big Red lost me money at Battle of Centra."
Esperanto and Hustler shot Scorch a look of shock. Hustler spoke up.

"Scorch, tell me you did not put money on Rankor winning that match?"
"Winning? Nah I bet that Rankor wasn't making it out alive! Paganax owes me for that!"
The three men all broke out laughing riding a high they hoped to continue.
Rankor just grew angrier.

Godsend vs. Aspin Northstar
Godsend defeated Aspin Northstar with HELL'S THRESHOLD at 12:22
Match Rating: 3.00
Prior to the match Rankor tried to get holo-vid footage from the Dominion barracks. What he got was a close up of Godsend's face shaking his head and wagging a finger, almost as if it was a live feed. From there it was just static for the rest of the recorded time. Annoyed Rankor played the match.
Aspin Northstar managed to hold his own even almost escaping the pit after a Tarkanian Smash. Godsend managed to pull him back to hell and bury his head with a piledriver on the ground. He locked in HELL'S THRESHOLD and climbed out getting the win.
Godsend wasn't through yet. Finding a cinder block sized rock he lifts it over his head and prepares to throw it on poor Aspin! Luckily Lance At-Las was nearby and ran off the demon, avoiding certain tragedy.
- Murdok's Tomb Barracks -
"TRINITY cross-check Murdok's World and Rankor. Show."
Murdok sits thinking as Gheist plays with his favorite weapon. After several minutes The Harvester breaks his silence.
"After seeing that pathetic display by Zombie Nation I think I've been convinced. You will set up a meeting with the Shock Syndicate and myself."
Gheist was taken aback.
"Shock Syndicate sir? But what about Rankor?"
"What about him? Who knows if he'll even be back. Besides, with me as their leader we're guaranteed to take over Centra! He may have created them, but Rankor knows nothing of leadership!"
Rankor could barely contain his anger, Voice trembling mad all he said was "TRINITY. Next match."

Nemean vs. Gheist
Nemean defeated Gheist with a Nemean Bomb at 6:45
Match Rating: 2.50
Nemean comes through on his promise! The Nemean Show starts with a double leg takedown and elbows to the head. Nemean brings the heat, literally, taking Gheist outside the ring and rubbing his face in lava! Gheist temporarily takes over smashing Nemean into the lava pit walls. The Spiritual Assassin tries to Irish Whip Nemean into the wall but the young Ravager parkours up the pit and lands a beautiful Super Twister Press. He waste no time executing a Nemean Bomb into lava leaving Gheist writhing in pain. Nemean takes this opportunity to make his escape and win the match.
- ROC -
"TRINITY cross-check ROC and Rankor. Show."
Aegis enters the Regulators Barracks. Esperanto is the only one present.
"I've got some bad news, Sheriff."
"Let me guess you lost money on Rankor too?" Esperanto laughed, Aegis did not.
"I'm afraid it's a little more serious than that, take a look."
Aegis showed Esperanto a video of the hostage release at Centrapolis Prison. Everything went smoothly for the first twenty releases. PainMaster and Sycophant were present releasing hostages in intervals of five. Mr. Bloat wouldn't make his presence known until half the releases were complete. As a group of five stood to be set free they were blindsided by a bum rush from the psychopath. Grabbing a hostage by the hair he began to drag the young lady back inside. The police stood ready to fire when Tiber Callisto yelled out.
"We had a deal! These hostages are supposed to be set free!"
Bloat yelled back.
"The deal was with PainMaster, not me! What are you going to do Tiber, send in your men? Shoot? I'll have these people dead before the first bullet leaves it's chamber!"
Mr. Bloat started to make his way back into the prison with the young lady when Tiber desperately blurts out.
"I offer you me in exchange for the hostages!"
Bloat stopped in his tracks.
Bloat stopped in his tracks.
"Then make the walk Tiber! Once you're here I'll set them free."
Tiber cautiously agrees and the exchange is made. Mr. Bloat turns to PainMaster as they walk inside.
"I lead this team now!"
For the first time all show Rankor cracks a smile.

NuBorn Destruction vs. Hellraisers vs. Hustler and Scorch
Scorch defeated Darkseed with SPECIAL FORCES at 16:10
Match Rating: 3.75
This match starts off with a bang, literally! Hustler launches a trash can full of weapons inside the Pit nailing Darkseed in the face temporarily taking the big guy out. They climb in the pit grab some weapons and turn this Lava Pit match into a street fight! Hustler is in control hitting curb jaws on Tekaro and using a concrete breaker bar to put Darkseed back down. Scorch took Warfare out early using his pick to take a chunk of the pit wall out and dropping it on the former SWAT member. Scorch turns his attention to Nightmare a little too late eating two Spear of Shadows and a MINDBENDER. Tekaro stops Nightmare from climbing out of the pit by stabbing him in the leg with his spear then bashing him with his shield. A random Jakyll made his presence known when he threw a rock at Tekaro's head knocking him unconscious. Darkseed managed to make a comeback taking on Scorch and Hustler by himself. Alternating between the two Regulators the Demon managed to get him some separation and he started to climb. A group of Krypt's would not let this happen kicking him over and over until he lost his grip and fell back into the ring. Scorch and Hustler recovered nailed SPECIAL FORCES and climb out for the win!
The celebration wouldn't last as Esperanto appeared and told his team of the events on Centra. All three men rushed to ROC space carrier they arrived on eager to leave.

- Tribes of Primus -
Rankor wasn't going to check on his old team but curiosity got the best of him.
"TRINITY cross-check Tribes of Primus and Rankor....show."
Only one snippet appeared. The Tribes gathered around Paganax doing their war dance that had become tradition before his big matches on Primus. At completion a Krypt broached the subject of the traitor. Paganax ignored it. His focus was on the title now.
"TRINITY play main event."

Ventross vs. Paganax vs. Hybrid vs. Shepard
Ventross defeated Shepard with a Viscous Onslaught at 12:41
Match Rating: 3.75
The bell rings and Paganax squares up with Hybrid. Both men collide in the center of the ring with shoulder blocks attempting to be the first to move the other. Ventross would end this display of brute strength hitting both with a flying shoulder spear. Shepard got involved grabbing Ventross in a reverse chinlock while Hybrid and Paganax brawled to the outside. The four men would stay paired off like this for a while culminating with all four simultaneously climbing the walls! Ventross took Shepard off with a Rock Bottom ten feet down into the ring. Meanwhile Paganax would German-Suplex Hybrid off the other side collapsing the former GWF ring with all four men in it! Any other match this would signal the end but all four men fought on! Hybrid would plant Paganax into the wall with a Downburst only to be blindsided with a lariat by Ventross. Both Ventross and Shepard began to climb again exchanging blows on the way up. A Vicious Onslaught would be too much for Shepard to take and he fell back in the Lava Pit.
Ventross successfully climbed out and was crowned new number one contender.

The Mad Scientist sat in darkness for a moment then spoke again.
