Shrine of Talos. (62,000)

IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT 24

BRACKET 3: Thesus the Brave, Sutek the Destroyer, GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION Havoc and Saber.

Havoc is out first and he has a lot to say before his match against Sutek!

Havoc is ripping GODSEND and Pinnacle and the decision to move the GWF to Myth Worlds. Havoc threatens to walk out of Impossible Tournament if Pinnacle doesn’t face him in the ring right now!

Pinnacle does not show up, but the Chameleon Creatures do. The voice of GODSEND speaks through them, taking turns speaking and finishing each others sentences.

BD CC: Be careful what you wish for, Havoc…

FS CC: …you may just get it.

GODSEND calls Havoc’s bluff. If Havoc wants to throw around threats of taking his ball and going home, let’s make him fight for the freedom he takes for granted.

BD CC: Win IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT and keep your freedom.

FS CC: Lose - and be banished to a desolate planet indefinitely.

Havoc reacts violently to this block buster news! He tries attacking the Chameleon Creatures but they immediately change colors and get lost in the background.

WOW! Havoc must win IT 24 or be banished from the GWF!

* Havoc (3) pins Sutek (5) w TYRANT NIGHTMARE. 4

* Thesus the Brave (1) submits Saber (5) w CHICKEN WING CROSSFACE, 3

There is big tension brewing between Krakan and Saber after the match with Krakan being disgusted with the loss.

Krakan had tried interfering in the match and got blasted by Thesus, adding to his frustration.

* Sutek (2) flattens Saber (3) w a spinebuster. 2.5

Krakan turned on Saber after the match, blasting him over the head with the butt of his rifle.

Sutek was impressed, laughing and clapping for Krakan in a show of mutual respect.

Sutek and Krakan exited together leaving Saber in a pool of blood outside of the ring.

* Havoc pins Thesus (1) w TYRANT NIGHTMARE. 1

* Sutek (2) pins Thesus (2) with a crucifix off the ropes. 2

Sutek came out for this match with Krakan in his corner as it appears the two have formed an alliance.

Saber came out alone and with stitches in his head for our final match.

* Havoc stays alive, pinning Saber (2) w a Liberation Lance to sweep the bracket and win the tournament!

After the match, the Society of Death hit the ring! Invincible Krakan, Burning Man, Nakano Takeko, Sutek, Murtak and Kralla all circle Saber.

Murtak and Kralla attempt to help Saber up but are ordered to back off by Krakan.

Burning Man & Sutek take turns hitting Saber with their finishers.

Murtak throws himself on top of Saber in an attempt to protect him and immediately pays the price when Krakan smacks him over the head with a tire iron.

Murtak grabs his bleeding head and cowers in pain.

Kralla gets in the face of Krakan! She tells him to leave Murtak alone!

Krakan smirks, giving the signal to Nakano Takeko to attack Kralla from behind with a kendo stick!

Murtak, Kralla and Saber are all down and hurt at the feet of the Society of Death as the show ends.

HAVOC 3-0 WINNER
Sutek 2-1
Thesus 1-2
Saber 0-3

Can Havoc win it all and avoid banishment from Myth Worlds??

[on_the_edge]

Arc of Eternity was the bracket of death for sure. Nice way to break up the Society of Death or at least put them into civil war as canon has it.

Such dominance by Siege (who is also super dominate over in my fed too lol)

That fast count ref better watch his back!

Not sure if I'll be following Tom's story for 2140 (as I retired Godsend last year, but will see)

Fantastic stuff as always Rob, looking forward to the next write up

I too had sent Godsend packing awhile ago. Had one of the Old Gods drag him away. But the new story is so cool I am having it seem like he is still around. Not sure if I will make it official or maybe even not be all of him but a fragment. Either way, so many ways one can go.

Arc of Eternity Field House (275,000)

IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT 24 FINALS 

FINALS BRACKET: GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION Siege, Grand Master, GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION Havoc and Anubis.

3 Former IT winners and a rookie! Can Havoc win it all and avoid banishment by Pinnacle?

* Anubis (5) defeats Havoc (3) w TRIAL OF THE HEART. 4

Anubis used premonition in the match, saving himself from certain defeat when he saw TYRANT NIGHTMARE coming.

Havoc’s career is on the ropes!

* GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION Siege (4) retains the title pinning Grand Master (4) w AETHRAN CRIPPLER. 4.5

* GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION Siege (6) needs both a distraction and outside interference from the Aethran Soldiers to survive Anubis (4). 5

Anubis avoided AETHRAN CRIPPLER using premonition, but fell to a Siege Stunner after the interference.

* Havoc (1) is a man on a mission, defeating Grand Master (5) after a missed turnbuckle charge. 3

* Grand Master (2) goes winless in the finals, losing to Anubis and his UNDERWORLD DRIVER. 1

Anubis finishes with a strong 2-1 showing.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HAVOC vs SIEGE AND NOT A SINGLE FAN IS SITTING DOWN FOR THIS ONE!

* Havoc (4) has his hopes and dreams crushed after outside interference from the Aethran Soldiers opens the door for Siege (6) to hit AETHRAN CRIPPLER for the win to retain the GWF GALACTIC TITLE and win IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT 24. 5

SIEGE WINS HIS 2nd IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT — and HAVOC IS BANISHED FROM MYTH WORLDS!

Siege celebrates his victory while simultaneously mocking Havoc! Havoc lunges at Siege but he is stopped by Forbidden! Forbidden beat Havoc down and shackle him in chains as Pinnacle watches on from high above the Arc of Eternity.

GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION Siege looks down on Havoc one last time, then turns his attention to Pinnacle. Siege raises the GWF TITLE in one hand and the IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT 24 trophy in the other, aimed in the direction of Pinnacle.

Pinnacle seethes as Siege celebrates to close the show.

GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION SIEGE 3-0 IT 24 WINNER
Anubis 2-1
Havoc 1-2
Grand Master 0-3

[Crossbones]

Great Impossible Tournament for MythWorld! My prediction is that Siege will go down in the history books as the greatest Gladiator to be both tag team and singles star among the Aethrans. I really do think he will topple Thunder in this spot.

Fight Card #1880

ARC OF ETERNITY
Edge of Time, South of Eternity (71,000)

16 TEAM TAG TOURNAMENT TO CROWN NEW GWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS

- OPENING ROUND -

The buzz: Former champs FDF Tradition split over one year ago and the situation with the GWF tag belts is still unresolved. But that ends beginning tonight!

* Forbidden watch their lives flash before their eyes versus the Natives when Krudde (6) & Higorr (6) almost pull the upset - but Teth (2) & Demonicus (3) survive w GATEKEEPER DROP. 4

This was supposed to be like a bye match - a gift from Pinnacle and the Forbidden almost blew it.

* The Atlanteans (Sutek & Anubis) w Isias & Invincible Krakan defeat Labyrinth when Sutek (at the instructions of Krakan) never tags out to Anubis and pins Asterion (4) w DESTROYER CUTTER. 2

Sutek & Anubis argue after the match. Anubis & Isias oppose Sutek having Krakan at ringside, but Sutek immediately dismisses their concerns.

“We won!” says Sutek. “Krakan is a famed war hero whose advice should be embraced, not ignored!”

Tension is already building between the promising new Atlantean tag team, but they advance nonetheless.

* Titan Samurai welcome the Gods of Mischief to the GWF with a big TITAN DROP by Azuma on Vale (6). 2

* In the most anticipated battle of the night, the Everything Show w Deva defeat Frontier Justice when Show Stopper (1) pins his former partner Freedom Fighter after a reverse knee hang (snake eyes). 3.5

Freedom Fighter was going nuts destroying Mr. Everything (6), who managed to tag out to Show Stopper who then injured FF’s knee to steal the victory.

* The Depths Below (Tempest & Quagmire) score a monster upset defeating GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION Siege (1) & Fist (4) by disqualification after Aethran Soldiers break up a pin and attack Quagmire. 3

* The Conquerors (Saber & Murtak) upset Invincible Krakan (1) and Burning Man when Saber (2) pins Krakan w SONIC WAVE (+3) to the roar of the crowd. 3

* Royal Uprisen (Exo-King & Musck) defeat the Aethran Soldier & M197 w DEATH VISE on the Aethran Soldier. 1

This was an emotional victory for Royal Uprisen who are two years removed from defeating the Aethrans and reclaiming Castilex. But bad blood still remains.

MAIN EVENT

* Former allies clash when Evolved defeat Castilex w UNSTOPPABLE SLAM on Sentinel (6).

Castilex look lost and out of place on Myth Worlds. Once the most dominant tag team in the GWF with a two year reign as tag champions, they now see themselves lose in round one.

Perhaps their famed powers gained from long slumbers have been affected from being away from Dimension K?

Coming next…

QUARTER-FINALS -

* Forbidden vs Atlanteans
* Titan Samurai vs Everything Show
* The Depths Below vs Saber & Murtak
* Royal Uprisen vs Evolved
* Plus the semis and finals!

[on_the_edge]

Someone get Castilex a pillow top bed ASAP. Good point about being away and not getting their normal long slumbers might be affecting them. Something to keep an eye on over their next few matches.

Definitely. This is a storyline I’m just beginning to explore.

When Castilex was originally designed by Tom, they had a simple chart in the handbook (that was removed before final) where you rolled a two dice before every match and if you rolled a 2-3 they missed that match because they were either re-energizing in a slumber state or too weak to fight because they needed to rest. I don’t recall the exact mechanic, but it was something similar. So I’m going to start experimenting with that, along with exploring how both Sentinel (finisher mechanic) & Moog (no adding tokens in tag matches mechanic) are adversely affected on Myth Words and away from Dimension K.

We’ll see where that goes, but it’s a new twist for Castikex I thinks makes sense.

Thanks for checking it out.
