aCe: A Dimension Divided...

+++ANTILIA+++

07.01.2120 from Ruins of Antilia, Antilia 5,987

- Whispered Rumors -

Rumors have begun to spread that several Krypt's and Jakyll's have gone missing from Primus. The team has made no mention whatsoever of these claims but some suggest this has gone on since before Ring of Fire. Centra Prime Research and Discovery claim to have HoloDef satellite images of the inhabitants being taken against their will but these images were taken miles above the planet and are blurry at best. An attempt to reach out to Paganax was made by the CPRD but were rebuffed. Many believe this may be what is causing the Heathen Chiefs paranoia.

- A Shocking Turn of Events -

Murdok was desperate. He knew his team was having a dismal year and he himself had been performing subpar. He couldn't stand the thought of a ROC vs ROC main event for the aCe championship taking place on Antilia and refused to let it happen. A week after Primus Uprising he made his displeasure known. 

"It's outrageous for a ROC members only main event! We might as well hand them this war on a silver platter! I demand others be allowed to fight for the the title!" 

In a little bit of a shock, Planet Primus and The Ravagers supported this and voted for it! Aegis was not happy. 

"This is appalling. I won the right fair and square! Murdok didn't say anything when it was he and Godsend for the title, neither did anyone else! This is bull****!" 

With the vote on their side there was little Aegis or the ROC could do. Murdok refused a triple threat idea, claiming that Shepard and Aegis would work together to win.
A Fatal Four Way would do the trick. 

A triple threat tag match was set up for the Antilia card. 

The rules are as follows - 

Regular tag match rules, anyone in the ring can tag anyone. 

Once pinned, the team is eliminated. 

The team that wins will both be in the Fatal Four Way at Holy War! 

The final stipulation was made by Aegis and Shepard. Also, a compromise was made that if Shepard loses the aCe championship without being pinned he would receive a rematch on the Mothership. Aegis would also receive a solo title shot at one of the minor cards of his choosing, but before 2121.

- Card Subject to Change... -

Several matches set to take place on this card had to be changed due to the new triple threat main event. Murdok vs Tekaro (which Murdok has been begging for),
Avarice vs Nemean, and Cyber Union vs Hustler and Scorch all were changed. It is not known if these matches will take place in the future.

- What We See -

Angry fans fill the Ruins from Antilia and Centra Prime. The fans from Prime are upset that the main event of Holy War may not go in their favor any longer. Walking in with a 100% chance of holding the aCe championship to a 50% chance had the CP faithfuls chanting "This is bull****" as they filed into the "arena". Antilians were angry as well, though for different reasons. The smarter of the undead army feel they have become the laughing stock of aCe and have secretly questioned whether Murdok knows what he's doing. They look at Tekaro no longer as a traitor but perhaps a savior. Tensions are high tonight.

- Not in Attendance -

Darkness Falls- when asked Paganax simply said the tag champions are resting waiting for their next battle. Secretly they are on Primus investigating the disappearances from their tribes.

Grovel vs. Tekaro

Tekaro defeated Grovel with RING OF DESTRUCTION at 4:34

Match Rating: 1.75

Grovel and Tekaro start with a collar and elbow tie up. That's about as technical as this match gets as Tekaro goes into a rage when Grovel bites his shoulder. Throwing him off Tekaro follows up with a running elbow then a palm strike. He tells Grovel to take his best shot who obliges with a Hitman's Clothesline. Tekaro takes it, screams in Grovel's face and savagely beats him down throwing him outside the ring. Grabbing his shield, Tekaro flies threw the ropes with a tope suicida smashing Grovel in the face with the shield! A RING OF DESTRUCTION later and this is over! Many undead in the crowd cheer the victory. Tekaro grabs a mic and yells "MURDOK! I'M WAITING!"

Shepard and Aegis vs. Living Dead

Aegis defeated Noxious with a BattleGear Bodypress at 5:02

Match Rating: 2.00

There was confusion and a little tension as to who would start the match for the ROC members- the team leader or current aCe heavyweight champion. Aegis conceded, letting Shepard start the match. As soon as the bell rings he hits Noxious with the Antivirus! Screaming in pain on his knees Noxious gets flattened with a somersault leg drop. In a desperate attempt Noxious tries to put Shepard in a slimy claw but gets Turnbuckle Tabernacle for his troubles. Shepard prepares to hit EXORCISM to end it all when Aegis tags himself in. Climbing the turnbuckle he hits an amazing BattleGear Bodypress for the win. The winning teammates and future competitors exchange a strange look, what it meant remains to be seen.

- An impromptu Nemean Show -

Nemean hits the ring with a mic in hand fired up. 

"I knew it! I knew that Avarice would try and get out of this match anyway he could! He's afraid of me! He knows that when we get in this ring, I'm the one who will be walking out with the belt! So right now, on this impromptu Nemean Show, I'd like to invite Avarice out here to explain why he's ducking me." 

Nemean waits a few minutes but no Blackheart. Eventually Flatliner makes his way through the tattered curtain that hangs as a divider between "backstage" and the ring. Flatliner is looking a little more like the Undead fans in attendance and smells just as bad. He steps in the ring, stands across from Nemean and runs his thumb across his throat.

Flatliner vs. Nemean

Flatliner defeated Nemean with a Double Arm DDT at 8:34

Match Rating: 2.50


Nemean gets things going with a half nelson, but is quickly elbowed in the face for his troubles. Flatliner hits a pair of Systematic Suplexes on the young Ravager and is looking for the early win. Surprisingly, Nemean kicks out of SHOCK AND AWE and tries to rally back. Sadly Flatliner was too much for Nemean who eventually gets pinned following a Double Arm DDT.

Hustler and Scorch vs. Hybrid and Holocaust

Scorch defeated Hybrid with THE TRAILBLAZER at 9:21

Match Rating: 3.00

Holocaust and Hustler start off exchanging fists with Holocaust getting the better. A Missile Shot sends Hustler back into the turnbuckle. The Street Savior reverses a whip into the opposite turnbuckle but Holocaust charges out with a hard lariat. Hybrid gets tagged in but misses a shoulder block. Turning around he walks into a headbutt to the nose, stunning him. Hustler takes advantage chopping down Hybrid and hitting him with a Curb Jaw! Scorch sees some action nailing a series of running knee drivers keeping Hybrid on the defensive. Scorch pulls out the big guns knocking Hybrid out cold with THE TRAILBLAZER for the win. Holocaust is not happy.

General Rankor vs. Warfare

Warfare defeated General Rankor by Disqualification at 7:19

Match Rating: 2.75

Warfare has been waiting to get his hands on Rankor since the tragic events on the Mothership late last year. He explodes on Rankor from the start hitting the Warfare Driver Slam almost immediately and following it up with a Centra Spinebuster. The match seemed well in hand when a thumb to the throat slowed him down. Rankor takes over hitting a sub-atomic drop and sets up for an underhook piledriver. Warfare fights out and clothelines the traitorous General over the top rope and to the floor. Warfare follows him out and grabs him for THE BIG PAYBACK but is clocked in the back of the head by the butt of a rifle. Falling to the ground half conscious Warfare looks up to see his former partner Flatliner standing over him! Warfare mutters "Trench?" before being hit again knocking him out.

Sychopant and Master vs. Light Brigade

Sycophant the Deviant defeated Lance At-Las with THE TOURNIQUET at 12:29

Match Rating: 3.00

For the first time since debuting in aCe, Aspin Northstar starts a match. PainMaster laughs and tells the ref to ring the bell. He nonchalantly goes to wrap up with Aspin but gets caught with a cresent kick almost knocking him out! Northstar is stunned as Lance shouts "pin him! pin him!" He goes for a cover but PainMaster instinctively grabs the bottom rope. Aspin goes for NORTHERN STAR SUPLEX but PainMaster escapes and counters with the FACE-FIRST CRASH. Punishing the rookie more he puts him in the torture rack three separate times. At-Las breaks up a pin attempt and gets into the match, coming at PainMaster with a flurry of fists. He telegraphs a flying elbow smash which PainMaster takes advantage of hitting a stretch powerbomb. Sycophant comes into the match and immediately locks on THE TOURNIQUET making At-Las tap.
S & M will get another title match at Holy War 2.

Gheist vs. Exodus

Gheist defeated Exodus with SOUL SLAYER at 20:18

Match Rating: 4.00

The bell rings and Gheist runs across the ring surprising Exodus with a dropkick. Exodus answers with a flying press and a Angels Eye. From there it was a classic back and forth with Exodus missing WRAITH OF GOD but hitting a double stomp as Gheist tries dropkicking him off the ropes. Gheist hits a cradle piledriver on the ring apron giving him time to set up SOUL SLAYER for the win and tying up the series.

- Triple Threat -

Godsend and Murdok vs. Avarice and Paganax vs. Nicodemus and Ventross

Godsend defeated Nicodemus with The Realm Eternal at 19:36

Match Rating: 3.75

Murdok and Nicodemus pick up where they left off at Primus Uprising this time with Murdok getting the better. The Harvester was a man on a mission taking it to the Ravager with everything he had almost getting the early elimination after POWER OF THE PLAGUE. 

Nicodemus survives to tag in Avarice who is shoved in the face and Power Bombed for his trouble. Godsend enters the match and he and Avarice have a nice back and forth with the Blackheart stomping down the Serpent. A slap in the face is Avarice's way of tagging in Ventross as he high tails it out. Both long time vets duke it out with Ventross nearly falling to SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. Godsend tags in Avarice and Ventross roars back with forearm bludgeons. Ventross makes Avarice regret slapping him in the face beating him from pillar to post. Nicodemus tags in and hits a Commander Clothesline and NUCLEAR WINTER for a two count. Avarice once again is kicking out of everything including a lariat and another NUCLEAR WINTER but finally falls to a torture rack drop. Sadly Paganax doesn't see action. 

Paganax and Avarice are eliminated. 

Murdok roars in hitting a big boot on Nicodemus. He goes for another quick win after an Antilian Atomic Drop but Nicodemus kicks out. A missed guillotine leg drop gives the Ancient a chance to tag out. Ventross comes in fast nailing a spinning backbreaker on Murdok. A blindside lariat sends Murdok into Godsend who tags in. The Devil's Apprentice goes into beast mode hitting a pair of Godsend Super Backdrops and locks in the Dextral Choke. Ventross tries several times to get something going but Godsend wouldn't be denied ending it with The Realm Eternal. The undead faithful roar in approval as Godsend and Murdok are in the main event at Holy War 2! What a turn around for Murdok's Crusade!

Overall Card Rating: 2.84

[Pariah]

Hmmm... Murdok can TRY to take credit for that triumph in the main event in order to help regain a little bit of prestige for his Crusade... But, we all witnessed who really walked out as the conquering demigod... Didn't we?

Awesome setup for Holy Wars 2... Can't wait!

Great stuff Van.

Starting to get a feel for the aCe wrestlers and am digging all.

An audience full of the undead strikes me as fantastic imagery and wild stuff.

Looking forward to more, Go Murdok and Godsend!!

Holy War 2

07.17.2120 from Ruins of Antilia, Antilia

- An Unsettling Truth -

Translated from the original Kryptian and Jakyllian languages. 

Paganax-Report. 

Jakyll- It's true my lord, I've surveyed several tribes and found missing brethren. 

Paganax (angry)- and you??
 

Krypt- Same your excellence, We are missing several from our ranks. 

Paganax- How many in all? 

Krypt- Around 20 to 30. 

Jakyll- Same sir. 

Paganax lets out a vicious scream and punches the wall, nearly bringing down the cave the three were standing in. 

Krypt (scared to death)- It was PainMaster sir! He did the same thing with the Ravager ship last year! 

Jakyll- Or was it the Ravagers? We caught them stealing the non-believer! 

The Heathen Chief thinks over what was just said. 

Paganax- No one must know about this, not until we find who's responsible and we have their head, understood? 

Both Krypt and Jakyll- Understood.

- ROC vs Crusade -

The four participants in the main event all had something to say about the upcoming match at Holy War 2. 

Aegis- It's amazing how Murdok not only conned his way into the main event, but also landed a shot at the aCe tag team championships. Begging Tekaro for a match was smart, it got him to focus on singles matches and with The Specialists out of the way S & M slithers back in, meanwhile he concocts this plan and has Godsend do all the heavy lifting. No matter Murdok, you'll be exposed as the loser you are when I regain my aCe title! 

Murdok- I should cut out your tongue and feed it to Cremator you unworthy dog! I am the leader of the army of the Plague, the King of Antilia, and soon the dimension! 

Shepard-I defeated Flatliner, Gheist and Hybrid to get a shot at this belt. I beat Godsend to become aCe heavyweight champion. I took down Flatliner and Godsend to retain. And then I came out on top of Ventross to remain champion. It doesn't matter if it's one, two or three opponents, I'm walking out champ, and I look forward to what's next. 

Godsend- I'll say it one last time. It isn't finished. But it will be. Soon. 

- What We See -

It's a jam-packed house tonight on Antilia! More people from Centra-Prime have made the pilgrimage for Holy War 2 than any other card. The problem is, Murdok wasn't letting them in! Sighting safety concerns for the Antilians, Murdok turned away about half of the fans from Prime nearly causing a riot. Fast thinking members of the aCe crew set up two large Holovision projectors outside of the Ruins area so the fans could still enjoy the action.

Light Brigade vs. Living Dead

Lance At-Las defeated Noxious with MARS MANHANDLER at 10:03

Match Rating: 3.00

Current and former Lance At-Las proteges start this match off. Both men jockey for position for the first minute, both getting annoyed by the stalemate. Aspin let this be known by several leg kicks to a confused Noxious. This technique worked as Noxious grew frustrated and walked into a Cresent Kick. Without hesitation Northstar went for the cover getting a two. A natural reaction sent him to the top for a chance at a FLASH OF BRILLIANCE. Noxious moved putting Living Dead on offense. Living Dead go into kill mode and Aspin needs saving from OUTBREAK and RUINS OF ANTILIA . Lance came in like a house of fire taking on both members at once but Noxious would take control. Setting up At-Las in the corner for OUTBREAK (6) didn't work so well; Lance ducked out as Noxious headbutted the turnbuckle and The Martian took advantage. Trapping Noxious's head under the top turnbuckle, Lance falls to the mat. Aspin sees this from the corner and moves along the apron, cresent kicking Noxious in the face through the ropes! Cremator takes exception and lumbers over but Aspin drops off the ring and pulls the loyal undead soldier out for a brawl. In the ring, At-Las sees a still semi-conscious Noxious trapped in the the turnbuckle corner. He climbs the post, grabs his former friend in a piledrive position, and jumps off with a MARS MANHANDLER for the win! The Prime fans far (and not so far) go wild!

Hybrid vs. Grovel

Hybrid defeated Grovel with a powerbomb into turnbuckle at 2:00

Match Rating: 0.10

Grovel shows no fear jumping on Hybrid and biting his shoulder. Hybrid lets out a yelp as Grovel head butts the side of the beasts head. Hybrid shrugs him off then shoulder blocks him for good measure. From there a Downburst, Brain Damager, and a running powerbomb would be the quick end to Grovel.

General Rankor vs. Nemean

General Rankor defeated Nemean with a GUILTY OF TREASON at 5:21

Match Rating: 2.00

Nemean has made claims that Avarice is ducking him, sending his cronies to do his dirty work. General Rankor has taken offense to this and vowed to end the career of the young Ravager. Nemean comes out fast with chops to the chest but is put down by a sub-atomic drop. Rankor wanted to punish Nemean but the upstart was too fast roaring back on offense with elbow smashes. Foolishly he tried to pick up the General for a Nemean World Beater but Rankor is too powerful instead dropping him with a Treacherous Throwdown. Rankor locked in GUILTY OF TREASON for the win but refused to release the move as Nemean taps in pain. The ref tries to get him to break the hold to no avail. Ventross finally comes to Nemean's aid as Rankor yells threats at Ventross from the Ruins.

Paganax vs. Tekaro

Paganax defeated Tekaro with Primal Scream at 9:11

Match Rating: 3.00

Murdok had this match booked as soon the previous card ended wanting to embarrass Tekaro infront of everyone on Antilia. Tekaro runs full force at Paganax with a kick to the midsection which does nothing but anger the big man. Grabbing his head in the Face Smothering a fire was seen in Paganax that hadn't been there before. He nearly takes Tekaro's head off with Primal Scream (Brogue Kick), the first of many. Tekaro shows a warrior's spirit fighting back with forearms to the face but a guillotine lariat puts an end to the comeback. From there Paganax alternated between Primal Screams (4) and Roaring Elbows (3) with the kick getting a win over the elbow.

The Cyber-Union vs. Scorch and Hustler

Scorch defeated Nicodemus with a Flailing Flood at 12:10

Match Rating: 3.00

Nicodemus refused to tag out the whole match, feeling that the Ravagers have been embarrassed in this feud with Hustler. He started out strong but not tagging out hurt him in the long run. Hustler and Scorch look more and more like a cohesive unit every match they tag together, while Holocaust and Nicodemus look to be falling apart.

Avarice vs. Ventross

Ventross defeated Avarice with MERCY KILLING at 2:06

Match Rating: 0.10

 Before the match could get underway, Nemean makes his way to the ring. Sporting a neckbrace he grabs a mic and demands to know why Avarice is sending his goons after him instead of fighting him for the CWF belt. Annoyed at the constant accusation, Avarice slaps the young Ravager in the face. Faster than Ventross could react he picks Nemean up and drops him on his head with 7TH SIN! Ventross runs across the ring and beats The Blackheart down with a Vicious Onslaught in the corner. He quickly goes for MERCY KILLING but Avarice kicks out. He hits Severed Ties and MERCY KILLING once more for the win. Four moves and it's over!

- Ruins of Antilia -

Gheist vs. Exodus

Exodus defeated Gheist with WRATH OF GOD at 20:42

Match Rating: 4.00

Exodus takes control after Gheist tries to start the match with hard chops. This is an Exodus we have not seen in aCe yet! Exodus keeps it in the ring for the first few minutes hitting Kingdom Come, Heavenly Barrage and a Flight Kick but misses WRATH OF GOD. That's when he decided to take it to the Ruins. He tosses Gheist down some stone steps that lead out to where the banned fans had been watching! Beating the "Spiritual Assassin" from crumbling pillar to decaying post, the fans chanted Exodus on the whole way. Several near falls took place, one when Exodus threw Gheist through a dead tree that landed on top of him. Gheist managed to get some offense in, bloodying Exodus with a big stone. Gheist dragged Exodus behind him, climbing up a crumbling wall that would lead them back into the arena area. With great awareness of his surroundings, Exodus mustered enough strength to fight out and push him off the 20 wall! In the spot of the night, Exodus says a prayer and hits Kingdom Come from atop the wall! The fans from Prime go nuts as Gheist is dragged into the ring for WRAITH OF GOD and the win for Exodus!

- Nemean's Nightmare -

Avarice is heated as he grabs a camera and talks into it as it were Nemean himself. 

"I've tried to ignore you, Nemean. You're an annoying little fly that won't stop buzzing around me, no matter how many times I swat you away. You just keep coming back, more annoying than the time before! Tonight was it! You want a match? You got it! In front of all your friends and family on the Mothership you will be embarrassed like you never have before. But no that's not enough! I don't want to just embarrass you, I want to maim you! We're doing this in a ladder match, CWF title on the line and all! Your dream is about to become a nightmare!"

Warfare vs. Flatliner

Flatliner defeated Warfare with SHOCK AND AWE at 27:17

Match Rating: 4.25

This is the match Warfare never wanted to have. In the beginning The Big Man was hesitant to do any move to his former partner but as the match warred on he brought out the big guns, hitting Flatliner with everything he had. For every spear Flatliner took he gave a Systematic Suplex in return. Both men had been through hell when Warfare went to set up THE BIG PAYBACK for the third time in the match. As he gripped Flatliner from behind a horrified look came over his face and he turned white as he dropped Trench. Flatliner took advantage of this momentary lapse in judgment to hit SHOCK AND AWE for the win. As the ref checked on Warfare he just kept muttering "help me, Warfare. He said help me Warfare!"

Darkness Falls vs. Sycophant & Master

Jakyll defeated Sycophant the Deviant with RED DAWN at 16:05

Match Rating: 2.00

Darkness Falls came for revenge! Still a little bitter about being eliminated in the tournament final before BOC and having their suspicions about PainMaster and the missing Tribesmen made this a must win for the champions. Jakyll comes out of the gate with a bite to PainMaster's head taking a chunk and busting him up right away. From then on there was little PainMaster could do taking Predator Pounce after Predator Pounce. He tried to leave the ring for a breather but Jakyll followed him stealing a ring officials chair and blasting him in the head. Sycophant fared no better having his back adjusted by three Kryptic Crackback's before falling to RED DAWN. PainMaster couldn't even try to make a save.

- Fatal Four Way -
aCe Championship

Shepard vs. Godsend vs. Aegis vs. Murdok

Godsend defeated Aegis with HELL'S THRESHOLD at 42:26

Match Rating: 4.50

All four men stand in their respective corners staring at each other. Aegis makes the first move attacking Murdok with a spinning elbow smash. From there it's on! Shepard and Godsend tear into each other while Aegis and Murdok rekindle their feud. A shoulder tackle sent Godsend out of the ring allowing Shepard to attack Murdok for the first time all match. The champ drops a pair of somersault leg drops and goes for the pin for a two count. Aegis took this opportunity to go outside and wallop Godsend with his helmet making him bleed profusely. He regained control with The Real Eternal on the stone ground. Inside the ring, Shepard unleashed the Antivirus on Murdok blinding him and taking him out of the match. Godsend slithered back in and attacked with a Godsend Super Backdrop for a pin count of 2. Both men trade blows with Shepard gaining control with Turnbuckle Tabernacle. He sets up Godsend for Silver Bullet but Aegis hits him with a Centra Spinebuster! Aegis hits Opening Salvo on the champion followed by a brainbuster. At this point Godsend comes to and hits Aegis with The Realm Eternal again. 

The most sickening thing in aCe history happened next. Godsend grabs a hammer from a ring crew member, takes one of Shepard's stakes and hammers it through his hand! The champion screams out in horrible pain as he tries to pull it out. Godsend picks up Aegis and drops him with a Demon Bomb before putting him in HELL'S THRESHOLD for the win! 

Godsend, face a crimson mask, grabs the title and starts laughing maniacally as blood drips on the belt. The skys of Antilia once again turns red as Prime fans flee in fear.

Overall Card Rating: 2.60

[Pariah]

Stellar show from start to finish... Thoroughly enjoyed the comeback win by the Light Brigade... Avarice's frustration rant directed at Nemean... And the sinister undertones revealed at the conclusion of Warfare's fight against his former friend, Trench...

The developments in Primus are truly disturbing... Who is abducting the natives? And why? And how do they plan to deal with a Heathen Chief consumed by wrath?

And what can be said about that main event? Godsend reclaims the top prize with perhaps the most violent spot ever witnessed... In a fed that is renowned for violent spots...

Cannot wait to see what happens next... Awesome work!

[Vanimal]

Things are a little more violent on Antilia than the other planets I feel. Maybe it's the lack of laws, maybe it's the zombies I'm not sure. I just know that when things are going down on Antilia, it's gonna be bloody, hardcore and violent. Next we move to the Mothership, where as per stipulation of the Fatal 4 way Shepard gets his rematch for the title. Shepard vs Godsend has been feud of the year, every time they get together it's been 4 stars and up, I don't see that changing!

Chain Reaction

08.13.2120 from Four Corners Coliseum Ravager Mothership 66,480

- Disgruntled Workers -

When the list of matches was announced for the upcoming show, not everyone was happy. Light Brigade felt that after their impressive win at Holy War 2 they would have gotten a shot at the aCe tag titles. Nicodemus once again justified NuBorn Destruction getting the rematch with point standings and win/loss record. Although grateful for the opportunity, both Tekaro and Warfare wanted to continue their singles quests as well - Tekaro still wanted his match with Murdok (as did Murdok) and Warfare wanted to continue with Flatliner (convinced that Trench is still alive). Neither man made these complaints known publicly. Holocaust, however was very vocal about not getting another shot at Hustler. Paganax was unhappy as well, but that was due to other circumstances.

- What We See -

We are live once again from Four Corners Coliseum, this time with a packed house. Nicodemus was embarrassed beyond belief at the dismal turn out for Warning Shot. He demanded Ravagers due their civic duty and come out to support him and the team. Nicodemus thanked the loyal fans that showed up at Warning Shot with favorable seating meaning a rawkus crowd will be front and center!

Flatliner vs. Noxious

Flatliner defeated Noxious with a Systematic Suplex at 12:24
Match Rating: 3.00

Flatliner wins a hard fought match after Noxious missed a shoulder check that was capitalized into a systematic suplex. As Flatliner makes his way to the back, Warfare comes out and tries to talk to him. 

"Trench! Trench hello! TRENCH!!!"
Warfare is practically screaming in Flatliner's face. Flatliner never stops walking, glances at Warfare with a 1,000 yard stare and continues to the back.

- The Cyber Disconnection -

Holocaust interrupts a meeting of the Ancients. 

"I need to talk to you!"
Nicodemus, stunned and annoyed, dismisses the other Ancients , one by one their holographic images disappear from the Ravager War Room. 

"If you were a member of this race I would have snapped your neck before the word need left your throat, consider yourself blessed, Holocaust." 

Ignoring the threat Holocaust continued. 

"At Holy War 2 you purposely didn't tag me in to the match. Now tonight I request a Last Man Standing match with Hustler and you deny that? I want an explanation." 

Nicodemus almost laughed out loud.
"Isn't it obvious? You've been embarrassed every time you've been in the ring with Hustler. I did you a service. He'd probably curb jaw your head clear off in a Last Man Standing match. Be grateful I gave you a match at all. Now get out of here!"
Holocaust heads to the ring ready to explode.

Holocaust vs. Scorch

This match ended in a Double Disqualification at 6:45
Match Rating: 2.75

Holocaust and Scorch clobber the hell out of each other! Holocaust was fuming after his encounter with Nicodemus and Scorch just loves a good fight. The majority of this match took place outside the ring with Scorch being bloodied by Holocaust's missile, while Holocaust was almost put through the steps with a Centra Spinebuster. Every time the ref got the two men back in the ring they would just leave and hit each other with whatever they could find. The ref had no choice but to disqualify both men. The rowdy fans loved this match.

Light Brigade vs. Sycophant & Master

Lance At-Las defeated PainMaster with MARS MANHANDLER at 14:11

Match Rating: 3.75

PainMaster and Lance start things off, renewing their ongoing rivalry with Lance getting the upper hand with a headlock. Taking Master down with flying head scissors had the man from Aurigae taking a walk outside but Lance is on his heels. PainMaster wins the brawl outside and tags in Sycophant. The Deviant gets Lance in a squirming sleeper and transitions him to the turnbuckle. Lance manages to make a tag after lifting a knee to Sycophant's face. Aspin comes in hot but misses FLASH OF BRILLIANCE to put S & M back on top. Things look firmly in their grasp when PainMaster comes off the top rope with a cross body block. Northstar counters with an amazing small package driver for a two count. Tagging in, Lance waste little time going for MARS MANHANDLER. Sycophant runs in to make the save but gets a face full of crescent kick from Aspin! Light Brigade win another exciting match!

- Killer Request -

Nemean finds Ventross where he always is, working out preparing for his match alone. 

"Sir, I just want to thank you for your help at Holy War 2. I'm not saying that I didn't have it under control, but things were starting to get a little fuzzy. Thank you." 

"No problem... Hey kid, good luck tonight. Give that rich boy hell tonight!" 

Nemean nods in excitement and turns to leave almost running into Nicodemus as he does. The Ancient grumbles at Nemean before walking in the room, door coming down behind him leaving the camera behind. 

Off camera. 

"Tonight is the night, Ventross. Do you know why I put you in this match with Rankor? I'm giving you one last chance to prove to your brethren that you are a loyal member of this society." Nicodemus drops a sword at the feet of Ventross. "The Traitor feels secure with his ticking time-bomb Flatliner around. You need to beat him so bad he won't be able to communicate with him to detonate. This sword and Shield will be yours once more, all you have to do is drive it through the heart of Rankor after your match. Immortality awaits you!" 

Nicodemus walks out as Ventross stares at his sword.

Hybrid vs. Hustler

Hybrid defeated Hustler with POISON DRIVER at 2:04

Match Rating: 1.00

Hustler starts the match avoiding Hybrid's attempt to attack, using his speed to his advantage. This works for a little while getting in forearms and a headbutt to the nose. He can't run forever, Hybrid gets him with a pounce and shred ripping off his bullet proof vest from the force. From there he was easy pickings for Hybrid falling to POISON DRIVER.

- Ladder Match -

Avarice vs. Nemean

Avarice defeated Nemean with 7TH SIN OFF A LADDER at 10:21

Match Rating: 3.50

Nemean tries to start the match with a hip toss but Avarice blocks and slaps him in the face, showing just what he thinks of him. Undeterred Nemean brings it to the Blackheart hitting a Nemean Bomb and Ravager Gut Buster. Grabbing a ladder, Nemean almost makes himself famous by grabbing the CWF title and getting the upset but Avarice knocks the ladder over. Going in for the attack Avarice is stunned by HUNGER STRIKE! Once again Nemean climbs only to be pulled back down. Nemean whips Avarice into the ladder but it's reversed. The young Ravager is opened up with Crown of Thorns and Avarice smells blood. Setting Nemean up in the corner, Avarice bludgeons him in the face over and over running the course of the ring and charging with the ladder. Limp and barely able to stand Nemean flings himself at the ladder to stop Avarice from climbing. The Tarkanian Aristocrat grabs him in a headlock and pulls him up to the top of the ladder hitting a wicked 7TH SIN! Avarice easily climbs up and grabs the title, letting a black rose fall from high above onto the bloody Nemean.

Aegis vs. Gheist

Aegis defeated Gheist with RAMPART'S REVENGE at 9:02

Match Rating: 3.00

Both men come into this match after a loss at Holy War 2. Desperate to rebound, Gheist starts the match with a knee to the groin but it backfires- the battlegear protects Aegis from the underhanded blow. The match goes back and forth with Aegis coming out on top following RAMPART'S REVENGE. After the match Aegis grabs a mic.
"I'm not wasting any time! I will be challenging the winner of Godsend and Shepard at the next event on Centra Prime! So be it friend or foe, I'll see you at Southern Sun Memorial Hall!"

Ventross  vs. General Rankor

Ventross defeated General Rankor with MERCY KILLING at 14:49

Match Rating: 3.50

Whenever these two former tag team partners meet it's always hard hitting, this one was no different. The two stood toe to toe each taking a hit and then dishing one out. The fans go nuts with each hit! A poke to the eye gave Rankor the advantage, he whips Ventross into the turnbuckle. Ventross lifts a knee as the General charges and comes out of the corner with a flying shoulder spear. He gets the win after MERCY KILLING.
That's when the action starts! 

Grabbing a chair outside the ring he comes back and starts working over Rankor. Rankor takes about 15 chair shots and is limp as Nicodemus makes his way to the ring sword in hand. Standing behind Ventross he throws the sword at his feet as a confused crowd looks on. They gasp (some in horror, some in delight) as Ventross whirls around and bends the chair over the head of Nicodemus shattering the fish bowl helmet! As he tries to get up Ventross knocks him again for good measure. NuBorn Destruction run to the ring as Ventross takes off through the crowd!

- Murdok's Surprise -

After the events of the last match Murdok strolls to the ring. He was scheduled to fight Nicodemus and his chances of victory greatly increased. As he stood in the ring an announcement was made:

Due to the horrific attack by the traitorous Ventross and the injuries sustained, Nicodemus is unable to compete. Murdok will however. The match between Paganax and Exodus will now include Murdok in a Triple Threat!" Murdok loses it at as an angry red giant makes his way to the ring.

- Triple Threat Match -

Paganax vs. Murdok vs. Exodus

Paganax defeated Murdok with the Face Smothering at 13:41

Match Rating: 3.50

Paganax is attacked before he gets through the ropes by Murdok, Exodus isn't even in the ring yet! The two big men battle back and forth when Exodus runs out leaps from the ground onto the ring up to the top rope and hits both men with Kingdom Come. The three men battle back and forth when Exodus back drops Paganax out of the ring. From there the Fallen Angel throws Murdok into the ropes for WRAITH OF GOD but he ducks going back into the ropes. Murdok springs off into an incredible huracanrana. Paganax slides in the ring and blasts Exodus with Primal Scream before putting Murdok to sleep with Face Smothering. Paganax will be receiving a title match on the main card of Centra Prime!

- aCe Tag Team Championship -

Darkness Falls vs. NuBorn Destruction

Jakyll defeated Tekaro with Scavenger Slam at 36:18

Match Rating: 4.25

Another classic battle between these 4 rivals! Tekaro and Warfare were still angry about what happened to Nicodemus and took it out on Jakyll and Krypt. Tekaro beat the hell out of Krypt with his shield inside and outside the ring as the fans went nuts. The ref was clearly favoring (or scared) of the hometown team and letting a lot slide never really admonishing the rule-breaking. Darkness Falls would not give in no matter how much punishment they took, and they took a lot. Warfare let all his anger out rag dolling Jakyll with scoop slams then picking him up and throwing him down with backward head slams. It all broke down after Krypt saved Jakyll from being pinned from a Tekaro savage beat down. Warfare ran in and hell broke loose. Taking advantage of the refs distraction Jakyll grabs Tekaro's shield and blasts him in the face. He drops Tekaro with a Scavenger Slam right on the shield and gets the win!

Godsend vs. Shepard

Godsend defeated Shepard with HELL'S THRESHOLD at 5:59

Match Rating: 2.75

The bell rings and immediately Shepard throws Antivirus. Godsend screams as he's dropped with an atomic elbow. Shepard gets Godsend in the corner for Turnbuckle Tabernacle. The fans count out the punches as the bandage on Shepard's hand courtesy of Godsend becomes blood red. The Priest runs the course of the ring and hits Silver Bullet looking for the quick win. Instead of a pin he throws the Serpent into all four cages walls. A pair of stiff elbows has the champion reeling, dazed as Shepard hits a double palm strike. Something snaps in Godsend as he quickly hits two Godsend Super Backdrops. He locks Shepard in the Dextral Choke and then in SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. Shepard escapes but falls to HELL'S THRESHOLD. Everyone is shocked how fast it's over!

Centra Prime

09.04.2120 from Southern Sun Memorial Hall Centrapolis, Centra Prime 7,420

- What We See -

Southern Sun is at max capacity tonight! For the first time the aCe heavyweight title will be on the line and fans are hoping Aegis can bring the title back home. Security is extra tight; it was one year almost to the day of the Ravager Carrier attack.

- Not in Attendence -

Ventross- In hiding after events on the Mothership

Rankor-Healing after injuries sustained on the Mothership

PainMaster-Afraid of repercussions of appearing at Southern Sun

- The Nemean Show -

Nemean starts the show in the middle of the ring with a nervous look on his face. 

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the aCe heavyweight champion, Godsend!" 

The boos are deafening for the aCe champion and Godsend loves every second of it. He gets in the ring and the fans are chanting "not my champ! not my champ!"
Godsend just laughs. 

Godsend- Awww did I spoil your main event? What did you think you'd get Shepard and Aegis? A battle of sportsmanship?!? That's not how this works! This is reality! I am your reality! I am your God! 

Nemean- Well it's nice to see you're done with the crazy chanting. What was up with that? Why'd you stop? 

Godsend- I stopped because it isn't necessary any more, peon. I found the person who is needed to complete the spell. The fabric is weak, the seed has been planted. Soon darkness will spread. My beast is coming and he will slay all!! 

Nemean- Oooook well thanks for the cryptic answer. One more question. What exactly did you do to Flatliner here a few months ago? Did you hypnotize him? 

Godsend looks at Nemean with a demonic grin - Would you like to find out? 

Before Nemean knew what happened Godsend was behind him and locked in SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. Nemean squirmed to get out as Godsend started to whisper in his ear. Just then Aegis hits the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Godsend immediately throws Nemean down and motions for Aegis to attack. Aegis just crouches there debating about what to do. He decides not to attack as he slides back out and says "I'll see you later!" 

Aspin Northstar vs. Grovel

Grovel defeated Aspin Northstar with Repeated Throat Drivers at 6:59
Match Rating: 2.50

 Aspin was hyped up for his singles match with Grovel. He starts off strong taking Grovel down with a snap mare and double roundhouse kicks. A right hook and another pair of roundhouse kicks look like this match was going to be over before it started. As Aspin climbs the turnbuckle for FLASH OF BRILLIANCE Darkness Falls make their way to the ringside area. Lance meets them in the isle way ready for an attack but they just look on, growling and sneering. This was enough of a distraction for Grovel who pushes Northstar off the turnbuckle and out to the floor. From there it was all Grovel who works over the neck and throat getting the win after several throat drivers.

- WANTED FOR TREASON -

In the week after the shocking turn of events at Chain Reaction, Ravager representatives had stated that Nicodemus had found the stolen sword in the possession of Ventross and he made his way to the ring to confront him. That's when Ventross flipped out attacking The Ancient Nicodemus with the chair.
"It's the war sickness, it's finally driven him completely mad" 

An announcement was officially made by the Ravagers over the Holotron. 

WANTED FOR TREASON: VENTROSS. 

ANYONE THAT IS FOUND TO BE HARBORING THE FUGITIVE KNOWN AS VENTROSS WILL VIEWED AS ENEMIES TO THE MOTHERSHIP. IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE FUGITIVE IMMEDIATELY COME FORWARD. 

Tekaro vs. Sycophant the Deviant

Sycophant the Deviant defeated Tekaro with Molestation at 7:02

Match Rating: 3.00

 Tekaro controlled most of the match with Sycophant loving every moment of it. The NuBorn Warrior beat him with with his spear to the point of bleeding. That's when Sycophant went to work. Like a switch went off The Deviant brings the pain to a stunned Tekaro who eventually had his hand drop three times to Molestation. The crowd was is disbelief! 

Sycophant grabs a mic after the match. 

"I'd like to dedicate this win, to the greatest man in Centra, PainMaster! This win is for you!"
Fans threw trash and booed loud and hard at this remark until the appearance of Lance At-Las in the isle.
"Sycophant I'm out here to issue a challenge on behalf of the ROC! We challenge you, that sleazy worm PainMaster and his lap dog bodyguard Gheist to a 6 man tag match at Attrition! You like taking a beating so much, I promise you the beating of your life!"
Sycophant doesn't take anytime and accepts! At-Las smiles and walks to the back.

Flatliner vs. Warfare

Warfare defeated Flatliner with a Tilt-a-whirl Backbreaker at 7:00

Match Rating: 3.00

A violent albeit unusual match. Flatliner comes out of the gate hard and fast taking the big man down with a crowbar and then deadlifting him into a Systematic Suplex for a fast pin. He stayed on him dropping him with a kneeling double arm DDT. Warfare would come back planting Flatliner with a Centra Spinebuster and then a BIG PAYBACK. As Warfare made the pin he tried to talk to "Trench" yet again allowing Flatliner to kick out and take things outside more intense than before. Warfare got the better, powerbombing Flatliner through the announcers table. Warfare once again begged Trench saying "what can I do to help you?" Every time Warfare tried talking to "Trench" Flatliner would come back stronger until Warfare hit a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and went for a pin. Flatliner laid there staring at the ceiling motionless taking the pin. He then rolled out and walked to the back leaving everyone, most of all Warfare,confused.

- S & M -

Sycophant holocoms PainMaster on his space craft. PainMaster is pacing back and forth as The Deviant speaks. 

"I dedicated my win to you Master. Is Master pleased?" 

"Pleased? No I'm not pleased! Why on Aurigae would you agree to a match on behalf of me?" 

"Master I thought that's what you would want!" 

"We don't even know who are opponents will be! It won't be Light Brigade, they get Darkness Falls! You messed up big time! Report back to the ship for your punishment!" 

Sycophant tries not to show excitement. 

"Yes Master..."

Avarice vs. Hybrid

Hybrid defeated Avarice by Count Out at 5:53

Match Rating: 2.25

Avarice tried to stick and move early on like so many others before him. Eventually he was caught with a pounce and slash putting the beast in the driver seat. Hybrid hit a running tackle and quickly followed up with a Downburst for a pin attempt. Hybrid missed a diving headbutt which Avarice turned into Power of Greed. Showing amazing strength, The Blackheart picked Hybrid up for an awesome Tiger Driver. Heading outside the ring proved unwise for Avarice, Hybrid reversed a whip into the guardrail and followed with a huge spear pulling the guardrails from around the ring over from across the arena! Fans chanted 'Oh my God! Oh my God!!' as Hybrid climbed back in the ring. Avarice, however, decided he had enough and limped back up the isle throwing his hands up and taking the count out loss to the boos of the crowd.

Holocaust and Nemean vs. Hustler and Scorch

Holocaust defeated Hustler with a school boy holding tights at 4:24

Match Rating: 2.00

Originally scheduled to be Cyber Union vs Scorch and Hustler, Nicodemus changed it immediately wanting his rematch with Murdok instead. Holocaust and Hustler were the only ones to see any action with the win coming by way of Holocaust cheating holding Hustler's pants while in the schoolboy. As Holocaust made his way up the ramp Hustler grabbed a mic. 

"That was a b**** move, and I ain't going out like that! We settle this at Attrition! Me and you in a Centrapolis Street Fight! You in?" 

Holocaust nods and it's on!

Paganax vs. Exodus

Paganax defeated Exodus with PAGAN VOID at 8:02

Match Rating: 3.00

Paganax goes for the fast start with a modified Lava Drop (Superman Punch) but Exodus ducks runs the ring and hops on top of the turnbuckle nailing a beautiful Kingdom Come. A top rope leg drop sends Paganax out of the ring to regroup but Exodus climbs the turnbuckle again hitting an incredible huracanrana outside the ring! Exodus throws the Heathen Chief into the ring and springboards off the ropes with a flying press. Paganax catches him by the throat and drives him down for a decimating chokeslam. Annoyed by the high flying moves Paganax hits a Primal Scream putting the angel down. A trio of decimating chokeslams has Exodus easy pickings for PAGAN VOID. Paganax waits to see his opponent- Godsend or Aegis!

Nicodemus vs. Murdok

Murdok defeated Nicodemus with CENTRA TAKEOVER at 17:58

Match Rating: 3.75

 Another hard hitting strong-style match between these two team leaders. The match started surprisingly technical with wear down holds and several counters. That didn't last long as both men grew frustrated not being able to gain control. Both took turns pounding on each other, the sound of the hits reverberating off the walls of Southern Sun! Nicodemus was impressive kicking out of a Murdok Powerbomb followed by POWER OF THE PLAGUE. Everyone was stunned when he kicked out of CENTRA TAKEOVER, no one more than Murdok. He couldn't survive the second one and Murdok gets a much needed win.

- aCe Championship -

Godsend vs. Aegis

Godsend defeated Aegis with HELL'S THRESHOLD at 9:41

Match Rating: 3.25

Aegis tries going for his secret weapon, the spinning elbow smash, right off the bat but the essence assisted Godsend is too quick grabbing a snapping neckbreaker instead. That would be the story of the match, nothing Aegis did could match Godsend's attack. Godsend hit his Super Backdrop before attacking with SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. From there he toyed with the leader of the ROC like a cat with a mouse before ending it with HELL'S THRESHOLD.

- High above Centra... -

A space ship floats outside of Centra Prime's atmosphere. Inside are rows of cages stacked on top of each other, a hundred in all. Each cage holds either a Krypt or Jakyll hissing as the reason they are here slowly walks by. Hungry and scared they try their damnedest to get out to no avail. Their captor just laughs. 

"Don't waste energy trying to escape, it's no use. Don't fret. Soon you will be free and Centra Prime will have hell to pay!"

Overall Card Rating: 2.89

[Pariah]

Godsend is on fire... But, he's gotta deal with the Heathen Chief very soon... And it look like the Harvester of the Plague may soon want a shot at the top prize... Snap!

Avarice has really failed to live up to his potential, running hot and cold since his arrival... Hoping #blackheart can crank up the dial...

Always a blast!

[Vanimal]

Couldn't agree more on Avarice. I couldn't wait to bring him in in 2120. I was going to strap a rocket to him, if he won that initial match with Lance he was getting a title shot on Primus. There's still time for him. Not much to say about Godsend. Dude is killing it. Then again so is Paganax .
