aCe: A Dimension Divided...

[Vanimal]

The 4th Corner

04.20.2119 from Four Corners Coliseum,Ravager Mothership 66,480

- What We See -

A complete 180 from the desolation of Primus and Antilia. The arena on the Mothership is a state of the art hi-tech achievement. An almost sterile environment reminiscent of the interior of the Enterprise with shiny LED screens surrounding the ring and a huge LED screen at the top of the entrance. The Ravager fans are similar to Japanese fans, quiet and respectful for the majority of the matches, clapping at big moves and popping huge for finishes. Four press boxes, or "combat rooms" as they were labeled, played host to the 4 corners of the dimension: Ancient Elders of the Ravager race in theirs, Ramparts in the Centra Prime box, Corporal Tek and undead soldiers in Antilia's, and Grovel alone in the Primus box. All of this to add to the ideal of the combat of aCe over bloody war.

- No. 1 contender for title match later tonight -

Paganax vs. Murdok

Paganax defeated Murdok with PAGAN VOID at 4:34

Match Rating: 2.25

Match Notes: The Ravagers go off a rankings system to get their number one contender when one is not apparent. According to this the number one contender was to be Ventross with 109 points. Being loyal to his partner and not wanting to stretch himself too thin with having to defend the tag titles later, he respectfully declined. Next they went to standings. Both Murdok and Paganax had a record of 3-2. With this win Paganax will go on to challenge Godsend later tonight.

Resurrection vs. Darkness Falls

Corporal Tek defeated Krypt with CORPORAL PUNISHMENT at 21:13

Match Rating: 4.00

Match Notes: The best performance by both teams and the fans responded in kind even though neither team had hometown representation. Resurrection puts themselves in line for a tag title shot with such a strong outing.

- Homecoming -

Nemean hits the ring like a shooting star! Playing up to the crowd the normally reserved Ravager fan base break out into "NEMEAN! NEMEAN!" chants. Nemean grabs a mic. "I've been waiting my whole life for this moment! From the time the GWF landed in Centra and I watched Max Shield and Rising Sun battle and fly I knew what I wanted to do! When Lance At-Las opened the CWF, my time had finally come! Things may have worked out differently than I thought but here I am Mothership! That's why tonight, in front of friends and family I challenge my idol, Lance At-Las!"

Nemean vs. Lance At-Las

Lance At-Las defeated Nemean with MARS MANHANDLER at 11:53

Match Rating: 3.00

Match Notes: Nemean gave it his all and threw everything he had at At-Las but the veteran proved why he has main evented GalactiManias. Lance grabs a mic after the match:

"Nemean, you just wrestled one hell of a match. If the CWF still existed, I'd have been proud to sign you!" 

Both men shook hands and embraced giving hope that when this war is over, wrestling will be just wrestling again.

- aCe Tag Team Championship -

Mass Destruction vs. The Specialists

This match ended in double disqualification at 7:45

Match Rating: 3.00

Match Notes: The referee could barely keep control from the outset. He almost disqualified Ventross and Shepard earlier in the match due to a brawl outside the ring that landed in the crowd. The straw that broke the camels back came when Shepard tried to break up a pin attempt and all four men went at it. Fans were very unhappy at the decision especially when the ref in the earlier tag match let way more go on. Another controversial end to a match between these two great teams.

Aegis vs. Noxious

Aegis defeated Noxious with Opening Salvo at 8:36

Match Rating: 3.00

Match Notes: As Aegis celebrated his win Noxious started to stir. While up on the turnbuckle with his arms raised Noxious stumbled over grabbing Aegis off the buckle and tried to bite him! Aegis was able to hold Noxious's head back far enough but it was only a matter of time. The power of the plague seemed to be coursing through Noxious as he tried to turn Aegis! Lance At-Las ran out drop kicking Noxious in the face sending the zombie out of the ring reeling. At-Las grabbed a mic and said he's had enough!

"I thought there was hope to get Meteor back but now I see that's not happening anytime soon. Next month in Centra, it's me and you!"

Flatliner vs. Rouser

Flatliner defeated Rouser with SHOCK AND AWE at 3:15

Match Rating: 2.75

Match Notes: Flatliner scores a fast victory as he tries to move up the single ranks.

General Rankor vs. Nicodemus

Nicodemus defeated General Rankor with NUCLEAR WINTER at 16:39

Match Rating: 3.50

Match Notes: A normal back and forth match with bedlam breaking loose after. As Nicodemus picked up the win celebrating was the last thing on his mind. He quickly turned Rankor on his stomach,put  his knee in his back and Rankor's arms behind him. Members of the Ravager Army ran in to arrest the traitorous General. Several members of other teams came out to see what was going on as Rankor wiggled and wormed himself away teleporting out of thereas soon as he escaped. Emotions ran high at ringside as Aegis and Nicodemus argued, Paganax got into it with Warfare and Ventross, and Murdok started a fight with Scorch! It took several minutes to get everything under control with Ravager Army members escorting Aegis and several other wrestlers off the Mothership. This will definitely have consequences going forward.

- aCe Championship -

Godsend vs. Paganax

Paganax defeated Godsend with Primal Scream at 11:11

Match Rating: 3.25

Match Notes: Paganax absorbed the strength of his fallen brethren making him an unstoppable beast! Godsend never had a chance as the Heathen Chief captured the aCe championship!

Paganax wins the aCe Championship

Overall Card Rating: 3.09

[barflymike4ever]

The Heathen Chief is aCe champion! woot

[Pariah]

Colossal victory for the Heathen Chief... Not only by taking the Essence title, but by doing it in such decisive fashion... No doubt, the Harvester was taking notes during that main event...

The attempted arrest of Rankor throws an interesting wrinkle into the fabric... What will this do for the possibility of future shows on the Ravager Mothership? Is there some kind of running committee in place to preside over situations like these?

Looking forward to the inevitable in-ring meeting of former friends, Lance At-Las and Meteor (now the undead Noxious)... Emotions will be running high... And a rematch between The Specialists and tag team champs, Mass Destruction would be cool as well...

Very entertaining!

The way I've played it so far is that whichever planet the event is on, that team has a commissioner like role. In the case of a drastic ruling (example would be suspending someone for a period of time) at least two teams would have to agree, the tie being broken by "home field advantage" . There will definitely be ramifications for messing with Rankor.

Defiance
05.15.2119 from Centra Palladium Centrapolis, Centra Prime 45,640

- The Ripple Effect -
After the attempted arrest of Rankor at "The 4th Corner" things have been tenser than ever. Gen. Rankor sent troops to attack a Ravager outpost stationed on Primus. The result was the annihilation of the Ravagers stationed there and an outcry on the Mothership for military retaliation. Aegis has publicly blasted Nicodemus for the surprise attack blaming him saying his actions against Rankor went against the rules of aCe. Godsend, sensing an opportunity, claimed he was distracted by the melee before his match and it damaged his performance. He held it to the integrity of aCe to give him a rematch. The plea worked as Paganax granted a rematch saying he would dominate again. Protests have been breaking out all week on Centra led by none other than Rouser demanding the removal of Ravagers from the card.

- What We See -
The Palladium looks almost the same as when we were here last with the difference being that Meteor's banner has been removed, replaced by The Specialists. Fans are a little more on edge than the last time we were here with the threat of impending all out war. Outside the Palladium are hundreds of protesters denouncing the Ravagers wrestling tonight.

Grovel vs. Rouser

Grovel defeated Rouser -NO CONTEST 0:00

Match Notes: As Grovel paced in the ring Rouser marched out with dozens of protesters and a sign that read NOT ON MY PLANET. He circled the ring several times before exiting out the back.

Flatliner vs. Shepard

Shepard defeated Flatliner with EXORCISM at 9:56

Match Rating: 2.75

Match Notes: The reception for Flatliner was a lot different from Battle of Centra. The crowd booed throughout his introduction and chanted things such as "Traitor!" and the lewd "You hump Reptiles!" This got to Flatliner so much that he stopped his offensive attack to jaw jack and make obscene gestures at the crowd. Shepard took full advantage of this and secured himself a win. Shepard may be in line for a single aCe title shot soon.

General Rankor vs. Nemean

Nemean defeated General Rankor with a HUNGER STRIKE at 2:12

Match Rating: 1.00

Match Notes: Nemean took full advantage of a paranoid Rankor who couldn't stop looking around for Ravager soldiers to arrest him. Once the match was over he quickly slid out of the ring and beamed away while Nemean celebrated his first win.

- Blood Brothers -
A brief video of Lance At-Las and Meteor is shown. Arriving in Centra, teaming together in the GWF and becoming huge stars, and finally forming and wrestling for the CWF.

Noxious vs. Lance At-Las

Noxious defeated Lance At-Las by count out at 12:51

Match Rating: 3.25

Match Notes: Brutal from start to finish. You would never know that these two were once as close as brothers. The end came when Noxious threw At-Las outside the ring, grabbed a chair and bashed Lance over and over on the head. The referee was about to call for the bell when Noxious climbed in the ring at the orders of Trisis. At-Las was unable to get in the ring for the 20 count as medics tended to him.

Scorch vs. Murdok

Murdok defeated Scorch with CENTRA TAKEOVER at 6:54

Match Rating: 3.00

Match Notes: The majority of this "match" took place outside the ring, with everything from chairs to pick axes used! The once docile people of Centra were cheering as Scorch opened up Murdok drawing first blood. It would not be enough though as Murdok scored the pin.

- aCe Tag Team Championship -
Mass Destruction vs. Resurrection

Warfare defeated Cremator with a Running Spear Takedown at 15:49

Match Rating: 3.75

Match Notes: Just as with Flatliner's match, the Centra fans let the tag champs hear it. It didn't matter to Mass Destruction who were focused on the task at hand. Good thing as several times Resurrection almost upset and stole the belts.

Nicodemus vs. Aegis

This match ended in a double disqualification at 20:21

Match Rating: 4.25

Match Notes: A classic battle with a controversy. The ref was knocked out cold mid-match missing Aegis pinning Nicodemus after RAMPART'S REVENGE. Aegis had him pinned for a good 10 seconds but no matter the match continued. As the battle raged on you could see it get more and more personal leading to the disqualification outside the ring. This one isn't over.

- aCe Championship -
Paganax vs. Godsend

Paganax defeated Godsend with a PAGAN VOID at 7:11

Match Rating: 0.10

Match Notes: Paganax proved that his win at 4th Corner was no fluke as he goes out and dominates Godsend. The fans in attendance were in awe and a little frightened by the power of Paganax.

Overall Card Rating: 2.59

[Pariah]

Plenty of intense action inside the ring and dramatic build-up throughout the show...

Very cool that Paganax retained the top prize... And I would love to see Shepard get a crack at the Heathen Chief...

Could almost feel the pain that At-Las must've felt with each chairshot that Noxious delivered... The emotional turmoil still must be stirring within the Martian wanderer...

Exciting encounter between the respective leaders of the ROC and the Ravagers... Definitely going to require a rematch...

You continue to paint a very vivid picture with highly descriptive storytelling... Awesome work!

[Vanimal]

Thank you! I've really been enjoying writing aCe. Each card has been more exciting than the last for me and I can't wait until the next!

[barflymike4ever]

holy moly!
keep up the good work

Lava Pits

06.10.2119 from The Lava Pits, Primus

- What We See -

Primus has been incredibly active since Paganax captured the aCe championship. Dormant volcanoes have been erupting all over the planet leaving everything covered in ash and dark. aCe returns to a familiar site; the lava pits where the GWF held their events. A ring still sits in the middle of the pit a little dusty and worn down, having been abandoned since 2111.The Centra faithful that have been traveling to the various shows were highly advised to skip due to the conditions. With the exception of some explorers and researchers (men that Scorch has worked with before) the only other bodies there were tribesmen.

- Lava Pits -

General Rankor vs. Nemean

General Rankor defeated Nemean with GUILTY OF TREASON at 4:48

Match Rating: 2.00

Match Notes: The natives had no effect on this match. Although on the Primus team, the Krypt's and Jakyll's are untrusting of the outsider and opted not to help. Rankor, feeling a little more comfortable on Primus, gained a measure of revenge.

- It Only Hurts When I Laugh -

Earlier in the day drone cameras caught Lance At-Las and Aegis at the site of the card later in the evening. The members of The ROC were hanging out in the ring reminiscing about their time in the GWF. Although the drone was unable to catch most of what was talked about, the smiles and laughter between two friends said it all. A nice visual of two men who lately haven't had much to be happy about.

- Lava Pits -

Lance At-Las vs. Grovel

Lance At-Las defeated Grovel with a karate kick at 25:57

Match Rating: 4.00

Match Notes: Lance At-Las earned this victory. Not only did he fight Grovel but what seemed like the whole planet of Primus! Three times he was close to the top and three times he was kicked back in the ring. Rocks were thrown at his head, ash thrown in his face even molten lava was dumped. In the end he crawled, scratched and dug his way out of hell for the win.

- Lava Pits -

Murdok vs. Scorch

Murdok defeated Scorch with POWER OF THE PLAGUE at 3:21

Match Rating: 0.10

Match Notes: Scorch took a lot of punishment including being locked in CENTRA TAKEOVER for two minutes and three POWER OF THE PLAGUES. The third one was too much and the ruler of Antilia climbs out the victor.

- Lava Pits -

Godsend vs. Shepard

Godsend defeated Shepard with THE REALM ETERNAL at 7:21

Match Rating: 2.75

Match Notes: Godsend was a man possessed never letting up on Shepard. Both members of the Specialist go down to the Holy Crusaders in singles matches. Shepard's quest for a singles title shot hits a bump in the road.

- Lava Pits -

The S.W.A.T. Team vs. Darkness Falls

Jakyll defeated Flatliner with a Death Valley Driver at 15:34

Match Rating: 3.00

Match Notes: S.W.A.T had no chance in this match. Flatliner and Warfare put up a good fight but the primitives surrounding the lava pit were more aggressive in this match then in Grovels. At one point Warfare almost escaped the pit but was kicked back down. All this was too much and the hometown favorites climbed out with ease.

- Lava Pits -

Ventross vs. Paganax

Paganax defeated Ventross with PAGAN VOID at 7:13

Match Rating: 2.00

Match Notes: For the second match in a row Paganax dominated his opponent. Ventross barely got any offense in and Paganax looked like he was toying with him at some points. When Paganax climbed out of the pit he raised the title above his head and yelled for all to hear. Several Krypts carried over a throne for Paganax to sit on to watch the final match.

- Lava Pits -

Aegis vs. Nicodemus

Aegis defeated Nicodemus with RAMPART'S REVENGE at 18:12

Match Rating: 4.00

Match Notes: A knock-down drag-out classic match. Aegis was bloodied early but never gave up. Help came from an unexpected source as Gen. Rankor nailed Nicodemus with a boulder from behind as Aegis regained his strength. Aegis hit RAMPART'S REVENGE and climbed out of the pit not knowing what went down. As Aegis tried to catch his breath the Heathen Chief stood from his throne. He calmly took two steps towards the Corporal who was still doubled over. Aegis couldn't react fast enough as Paganax nailed him with a Primal Scream that sent Aegis flying 10 feet down back into the middle of the ring almost breaking him in half!

Overall Card Rating: 2.55

The Reckoning

featuring Paganax vs Aegis for the aCe Heavyweight Championship!

[Pariah]

Aegis scores a major victory to become the number one contender... Only to have the Heathen Chief sends him a clear message to close out the show... Paganax will not up the Essence easily...

Was hoping to see Shepard take another step forward in the rankings, but the former champion had other plans... And it was cool seeing Jakyll and Krypt pick up a win in front of their fellow Primus natives...

Another fun show!
