IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT 23
Fight card #1868
Aethran War Dome, Aethra (58,602)

Bracket #1: GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION Apex, Siege, Fist and GWF HEAVY METAL CHAMPION Shayne.

It’s a tense atmosphere as the GWF is back in the Aethran War Dome for the first time since Havoc exposed the Dark Menace and dropped the big Hive Mind bomb on the galaxy. There are a lot of questions about how the hometown crowd will react to GWF CHAMPION Apex who is expected to be accompanied to the ring by Deva tonight.

* Shayne (1) pins Fist (2) w EYE FOR EYE. **

GWF CHAMPION Apex gets a rowdy heroes welcome when he appears for the first time, but the first site of Deva receives violent boos.

Siege comes out to an equally loud reaction and the crowd goes wild for his return to the ring.

* Apex (3) escapes by the skin of his teeth needing just one APEX OF GLORY to pin Siege (1) and retain the GWF GALACTIC TITLE. ***

* Siege (2) pins Fist (2) w AETHRAN CRIPPLER. **

* Apex (3) escapes with his title again against Fist with the help of a controversial Deva distraction! ***

Things go from intense to uncomfortable when a group of Aethran Soldiers storm the ring with guns drawn and order Deva to the ground!

But Apex orders them to stand down!

Apex pulls Deva to safety then barks orders at the Aethran Soldiers, who cower at the feet of Apex.

* Siege (2) finishes 2-1 defeating Shayne w AETHRAN CRIPPLER. **

* Insane controversy when Shayne is rolling Apex (5) and a group of Aethran Soldiers hit the ring and beat Shayne down!

This would be an automatic disqualification anywhere in the galaxy BUT AETHRA!

The fans drool with excitement as the Aethran referee stands back allowing the Aethran Soldiers to do their thing without any repercussions!

Shayne is bloody and unconscious when the referee calls for the bell and awards the match and the bracket to GWF CHAMPION Apex! *****

APEX 3-0 WINNER
Siege 2-1
Shayne 1-2
Fist 0-3

The board of directors need to look into this Apex bracket win, as I don't think I've ever seen anything so shady before.

It's definitely a 'stain' on the prestigious IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT.

DECISION STANDS!

After a long week of debating the ramifications of overturning and/or reversing the decision from Apex vs Shayne at IT 23 Bracket 1, the GWF Powers That Be voted 5-1 to allow the referees decision to stand.

Outcry from fans all over the galaxy immediately hit solar media, with a lot of fans livid with this decision. But the GWF is moving forward and into BRACKET 2.

Deva made the official announcement for the board to a battlefield of f reporters:

“Deal with it, people. You all know the rules on Aethra - which is there are no rules! Shayne knew what he signed up for. Apex is still GWF Champion and it’s time to celebrate his victory!”

It's been a while since I played my GWF fed, this is giving me the itch. Great stuff as usual, always a fan of the Impossible Tournament.

IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT 23
Fight card #1870
Castilex Amphitheater, Castilex (56,000)

Bracket #3: Grand Master, Mr. Everything, Titan Power and Nosfera.

We’re back in Castilex for the first time in 2139 since the planet was liberated from the Gladiators control and it’s been a celebration all day long. Exo-King, the new leader of Castilex is live in attendance with Killer Queen.

Lasts years Impossible Tournament winner Grand Master gets a roaring ovation as the first man down the ramp.

* Grand Master (2) fights off outside interference from Show Stopper to pin Mr. Everything (2) w HERO’S JOURNEY. **

After the match Grand Master incapacitates Show Stopper with a HERO’S JOURNEY outside of the ring.

* Nosfera (3) pins Titan Power (5) w DEMON’S BREATH. ****

Nosfera stalked and chased Deva away from the match early in this one leaving Titan Power to battle the demon alone.

* Grand Master (5) escapes Titan Power (3) w HERO’S JOURNEY. ****1/2

Deva was MIA for this match too, no doubt still hiding somewhere from Nosfera. Titan Power showed a lot of frustration yelling after the match about her absence.

* Nosfera (3) takes out both of Deva’s men, blinding Mr. Everything (6) w DEMON’S BREATH. ****1/2

Deva nor anyone from Mr. Everything’s harem accompanied him to ringside for this match, leaving MRE to fend for himself against the spooky Spring Heeled Jack.

* In a battle of bitter former tag partners (but still both on New Vibe) Mr. Everything (3) pins Titan Power (6) w IMPRESSIVE. **** 1/2

Deva reappears to celebrate with the winner MRE, sending Titan Power over the edge and storming to the back alone.

* It’s a shocking and stunning defeat when Nosfera (6) pins Grand Master (5) w DEMON’S BREATH in an instant classic. *****

The end of the show is pandemonium with Nosfera leaping around ringside, stalking Killer Queen as Exo-King bellows orders to his guards to capture the beast!

But the Spring Heeled Jack leaps off into the night before he can be caught as we fade to black.

NOSFERA 3-0 WINNER
Grand Master 2-1
Mr. Everything 1-2
Titan Power 0-3
