Dark Age Timeline


2123 : Shepard receives a sign of the coming apocalypse. He vanishes from the aCe toward the end of the year as his warnings go unheeded.

2126 : The Guardian appears before Endgame to tell him of the galaxy's impending doom. Oracle also recieves a message from beyond, but unlike Endgame, he prepares to welcome the Harbinger of The Black Death.

2127 : The Black Death arrives in the GWF in its initial bid for takeover.

2128 : The Three finally arrive on the physical plane bringing with them the galaxy's doom in End of Days. Shepard makes his return along with The Order and helps to bring together The Champions of the Galaxy. These men are the only thing that stand in The Black Death's path of destruction.



A parlay was arranged between the COTG & The Three in which rules were put in place to decide the fate of the Multiverse.


• Except in certain tournaments no member of COTG or Black Death will battle another member of their team.

• Matches will be scored on a number of criteria as well as bonus points for championship wins and defenses.

• The only way to get a Infinity Title shot is to be the current Galaxian Champion and hold three successful defenses over the opposition. If no one meets this criteria then the current Infinity Champion may defend his title against an opponent of his choosing.

• Teams are set up to have 3 singles wrestlers, a dedicated tag team, and a reserve tag team. Reserve tag teams will only be used under certain conditions. There are also reserve members waiting in the wings should an injury take a competitor out for an indefinite period of time.

Infinity Championship (Universal Essence title belt) Tournament


The Guardians of the Galaxy vs Black Death Prime
Endgame used his speed to dominate End of Days before getting the win with a shining wizard.

Sur at the Corvus native alive, hitting several signature moves to soften him up, and scored the pin fall with the Perfect Power Bomb.

Another dominate performance by Sur as he racked up the tokens on The Guardian (6 total) before pinning him after Ground Zero.

Harbinger came out of the gates on fire, but it was quickly snuffed out by Sur, and Harbinger was down for the count after the Perfect Power Bomb.

Sur qualifies for the Infinity Title Challenge.



The Order vs Black Death Arcana
Psi was in control but got blasted by EYES OF DEATH twice and lost to Abroz.
Abroz put up on hell of a fight against Shepard, but was ultimately beaten after the Act of Contrition.

This one went counter for counter until Shepard connected with a picture perfect EXORCISM to put Oracle away.

Balaal was in the ring with lightning speed and put Shepard away quickly with BITE OF THE SERPENT. Shepard seemed immune to the serpent's venom and rolled from the ring.

Balaal countered a turnbuckle splash by Northstar before locking him in the Serpent's Death Lock to secure yet another spot for Black Death in the Infinity Title Challenge.

Balaal qualifies for the Infinity Title Challenge.



The FDF vs Black Death Enforcers
Thantos got the better of Tauran and pinned him after back to back LEGEND LARIATS.

Thantos was unable to overcome the power of Pendragon, and after taking a beating for several minutes, he was pinned following a Centra Spinebuster.

Anivar matched Pendragon for power and made short work of him with SAVAGE BEATDOWN.

Star Warrior took it right to Anivar and scored the victory after two consecutive COSMIC BIG BANGS.

After a great battle between Avarice and Star Warrior, Warrior hit Avarice with a big COSMIC BIG BANG (+5), and won one for the good guys.

Star Warrior qualifies for the Infinity Title Challenge.



The League of Assassins vs Black Death Assassins
Harm opened up big with PLANNED ASSASSINATION (+6), but Ultra Mantas Black managed to get a foot on the ropes, and the count was broken. After a C3-STO & a Cyber-Arm Low Blow, Harm hits PLANNED ASSASSINATION a second time, and this time UMB is unable to kick out.

Harm bulldozed Death Masque with DROP ZONE, PLANNED ASSASSINATION, and a second DROP ZONE to win two in a row.

Incredible match between Ensor and Harm. The Master Assassin threw everything at Ensor and still couldn't get the job done. Ensor started to mount a comeback, but it was cut shot by a wicked Loaded Glove by Harm, and he pinned Ensor in a sweep.

Harm qualifies for the Infinity Title Challenge.



Council of War vs Black Death Nightmares
Nightmare started out on offense against Tharkas and made quick work of the Ravager. Nightmare hit the MINDBENDER early to score the victory.

A Lavalanche and the Primal Scream led to the PAGAN VOID for an easy victory by Paganax.

Paganax tried to get this one over quickly as well, but the demon would have none of that. Paganax survived multiple DEMON BREATHS and SPRINGHEEL KICKS before a final SPRINGHEEL KICK (10 tokens) knocked him cold.

Thraxx was in total control, but one mistake was all Nosfera needed to connect with the SPRINGHEEL KICK, and score the pin fall.

Nosfera qualifies for the Infinity Title Challenge.

[Eliath]

Great opening salvo bro!

Sur proved just how badass he really is...Endgame, The Guardian AND Harbinger...1-2-3. That's some impressive stuff right there!

Balaal continued the BD dominance with another great win...glad Shepard is immune to the BITE otherwise The Order might have been leaderless for a few cards...

Star Warrior scored one for the good guys...hopefully the FDF won't be the only bright moment for the heroes in the weeks to come...

Harm completely dominated...very impressive...but I don't care about Harm - not even a little. LOL!

Are you using MY Nosfera?!? LOL! I've never seen him perform THAT well for you...or anyone else for that matter. It was like watching his performance in one of my matches...completely AWESOME!!

Looking forward to what comes next brother!

[Eliath]

Oh yea, I forgot to say...LOVE Alexander's new art!

Glad you put the Brothers in Arms together...they are the team that I'm most looking forward to watching develop!!

I'm taking that art too BTW...I needed something new for him.

[Alexander Ubel]

Some last minute changes to the roster. Noted above in yellow other than Nightmare & Nosfera trading places on Coven Black's team.

The first round of the tag tournament should be up tonight as well as Black Death Syndicate vs The Nightstalkers for a spot in the Infinity Title Challenge.

[Alexander Ubel]

Last minute entry into the Infinity Title Challenge


The Nightstalkers vs Black Death Syndicate
Great back and forth match to open the contest between the evenly matched Darkseed & Rankor. Darkseed would manage to get the better of Rankor on this night after a wicked spinebuster slam put Rankor down for the count.

The Amazing Mann had to work at it, but he finally managed to get through Darkseed's defenses, and locked in UNBREAKABLE for the victory.

HelSin managed to reverse Mann's attempt at a flying cross armbar and went for the Exorcism, but Mann was ready, and countered with CONTORTION. Two UNBREAKABLES later and HelSin was eliminated by Mann in a pretty one sided match.

After some intense back and forth action, Astro Creep missed the THUNDER KISS 65 giving Mann the opening he needed to go on offense, and close out the match with a flying cross armbar.

The Amazing Mann qualifies for the Infinity Title Challenge.

Infinity Tag Titles Tournament

The Gladiators vs Cosmic Rage (5 Star)
Amazing opening match to the tournament! The match was a brutal and bloody. Overmaster was the only man not bleeding after the carnage as Monolith gained 5 tokens, Ghena gained 9 tokens, and Havoc gained 8 tokens. The end came when AOM hit Ghena with REIGN OF THE OVERMASTER only to have Havoc break up the pin, but Monolith was in with CATASTROPHE, and Ghena lay unmoving after the match.

Ghena suffers internal injuries from the CATASTROPHE from Monolith (needed a 14 to kick out) and will be out for 7 cards.

Backstage : Sur & Bex do not look pleased at the turn of events, but the Black Death members retained their connection to the dark force and will continue at full power.


Brothers in Arms vs The Doombringers
Alexander & The Saint practically steamrolled Bishop Hell & Zygon. Bishop Hell did manage to kick out of CASUALTY OF WAR, but was hit by LAST RITES & THE MESSAGE, which brought in Zygon for the save. Alexander also entered the fray and a wild brawl erupted. Bishop Hell was hit with BROKEN SEAL and there was nothing Zygon could do to make the save.


Ultimate Fighters vs The Contract Killers
Shoot scored the victory for his team after a short back and forth with a bicep slicer on Alphonse. Darmondy tried to make the save but was stopped by Clinch.


Assassin Knights vs Assassin Blood
Both teams went high risk and scored some near falls on each other. Tristan gained the upper-hand on Death Knight III with BLACK DEATH COMETH only to have Daimyo make the save. Betrayer is in for NO ESCAPE, but DK counters with a COSMIC LANCE that puts him down for the count. Tristan was out of position and unable to make the save.


Witching Hour vs Mythos
Nyogoth was in control in the opening moments of the match, but a mistake on the outside led to Hallowicked hitting the GRAVEYARD SMASH, and scoring the upset in a very quick match. Neither Cthulhu or Frightmare saw action during the match.


Venusian Guard vs Shock Syndicate
The Venusian Guard had a difficult time keeping the Syndicate Cyborgs down, but Shukra hit Holocaust with ONSLAUGHT for a two count, followed by MERCILESS from Apollo for another two count, before they hit VENUSIAN BURIAL. Flatliner didn't do his partner any favors by making the save because he was hit with another MERCILESS that knocked him cold.

Holocaust injured 3 cards do to concussion.



* An interesting card to say the least. The COTG teams managed to sweep Black Death's tag teams in the tournament ensuring that the good guys will walk away with the Infinity title belts.
