The Sol System - Planet Earth - July 18th 2073
The Sol System Conglomerate of Sports Complex - Tulsa Oklahoma.
Jack Hood stood standing behind Aurora who sat at a long table facing five men and five women who worked for The SSCS.
"Now that interstellar travel is possible for the citizen of the Sol System, we wanted extend an invite to some of your systems best fighters to take on some of the galaxies best. We even were able to get the Galactic Champion Torin Calleum to finally come to Earth to take on your systems champion." Aurora said with a genuine smile.
A large man with multiple facial scars smiled his crooked smile back. His smile held no joy.
"That is great....we would love to have our champion meet your champion. But how do we know you won't just cherry pick our systems best fighters?"
Aurora was a puzzled at the question and paused. Jack Hood spoke up.
"Well....first off, I don't think your boys are going to win any matches, so don't get ahead of yourself sir. We just wanted the galaxy to see the new kids on the block, see what you all put out there as your best. This isn't a buy out kids, this is a try out."
Aurora puts her hand on Jack's and pats it.
"Mr. Hood oversteps a bit, but he is correct. We have a trillion credit wrestling venture just about ready to get off the ground and we are looking for the galaxies best to join. The Sol System has not allowed any of their athletes to participate, we are hoping this will end with you. We know you hold all the contracts for the thousands of wrestlers you have in the system. We just want the best to come and join us for one night only. Each participant will receive, five thousand credits for fighting, ten thousand for winning and your champion Mr. Shroud will get the same gate as Mr. Callum. Your conglomerate will also receive the standard amount for loaning your fighters for this event. We will also throw in five percent of the overall gate to sweeten the pot."
A young woman in a white t-shirt and blue jeans who was standing in the back, walked forward.
"Make it ten percent and we will send you nine wrestlers, including Benjamin Shroud. One more thing, we want the match between Shroud and Calleum to be a championship match for the Galactic belt."
Jack Hood began to protest, but Aurora smiled, stood and held out her hand.
"I believe it is customary to shake hands to finalize this deal is it not?"
The Young woman smiled and reached between two men sitting at the table and shook Aurora's hand.
"Great. Now let's finalize location and who we will have on the card. That ok with you Mrs. Powers?"
"Heather. And yes. Let's get it done."

The Shroud Cloud Wrestling School
Brooklyn New York - Earth.
Benjamin Shroud has a masked wrestler over his head and starts to run the ropes. After hitting the ropes three times, he throws the wrestler into the empty chairs. The wrestler hits the chairs and slides to the ground unmoving.
"Next time you think you can fight the champ, you better come correct! Or at least bring some friends. JOE!!"
A young man appears on the ring apron. Shroud looks at the prone body of the masked man and points at the door. "Get this mother Fu....errrr....guy out of my gym!"
The young man and a few others that were standing around ran to remove the man. Shroud grabbed a towel that was hanging off the ropes and wipes his face. Heather Powers starts clapping and steps forward. "Shroud, it is good to see you again. Training?"
"Nah, taking out the trash actually, what's up lady?"
"I have a match for you, have you heard of Torin Calleum?"
"Hell yeah, Galactic Champ. Hasn't had anyone escape his claw hold. Wonder if he would escape The Frederick Douglass?"
"Want to find out?"
"Hell yeah! Wait you got me a match with the Galactic champion? I thought we were too weak as a species or some shit?"
"Looks like things have changed. So it's in two weeks. You'll be the main event."
"Sweet, work out the contract with Colby. I'm in."
"Great we have sent you some tape for you to watch. By the way have you seen Jack around anywhere?"
"Have you tried the Seven Trees Motel downtown? He sometimes sleeps behind there. Free popcorn he says."
"Thanks, Shroud. See you in two weeks."
*Seven Trees Motel Parking lot*
"So you in Rucksack Jack?" Heather says smiling.
"You had me at free food. Where and when you need me?"
"Two Weeks, Madison Cube Garden. Locker Room opens at 12:00, Show time is @ 6:00."
"And?"
"Catering is open @ 12:30."
"See ya at 12:30 boss lady!"

Aurora looks over the match list with Jack Hood and Heather Powers.
"So this Rucksack is a homeless man? I thought we were getting your very best?"
"Oh you are. Rucksack is a free spirit, usually gives away everything we wins in the ring. But rest assure he will fight when the bell rings."
Jack Hood smiles his steel grin.
"Good, sooner we beat you all we can get back to real wrestlers and real fights. I like you have such easy prey. I told you we shouldn't have even come here Aurora."
Aurora grits her teeth and then smiles at Heather Powers. "Again sorry for my partner, he can be opinionated. We look forward to seeing Rucksack in action."
"He will surprise you, you'll see. Let's go over the card one more time."

Jack Hood grabs her hand and squeezes just a little too hard. Heather's eyes narrow. "Yes. Earther. We are in agreement. We will see you and your so called wrestlers very soon. POW will not fail to conquer this system."
Heather smiles as she squeezes past Jack Hood's strength and looks him in the eye as she pulls him close. "Beware what you ask for Jack."
Jack Hood smiles and releases her hand.
"Maybe you should have wrestled instead of this vagabond."
Aurora apologizes and grabs Jack's arm. She directs him out of the room.

POW/GWF/SSC Presents Sol System vs. The Galaxy.
08.01.2073 from The Madison Cube Garden in New York - Planet Earth
Heather Powers, Jack Hood and Aurora sit in the sky box watching the opening presentation. After thirty minutes of pomp and hand shaking by earth's governing body to the galactic governing body the matches were about to begin.
"I for one am really ready to see your vagabond get dismantled by Ulencio. I have seen him training, your man will be destroyed." Jack Hood laughs and his steel teeth gleam like a monster.
"Well Jack, on earth we have a saying. Put your money where your mouth is. Let's make a bet. If Rucksack Jack wins, you wear his merch for the rest of the night." She holds up a burlap sack with Jacks picture drawn on it.
"And if...when, Ulencio wins you will wear my hat for the rest of the evening." Jack smirks.
"I would not take that bet, He never ever takes it off, except when he fights and he's never had it washed. He's over two hundred years old. I..." Aurora looks disgusted at Jack's bet.
"Done." Heather puts out her hand for Jack Hood to shake. He shakes and smiles smugly as he sits back in his chair."
Rucksack Jack (Anywhere he can lay his head at night in America - Earth) vs. Ulencio (Eris)
Match Notes: Ulencio came out strong and held the action for most of the fight, Rucksack proved he was very tough and was able to capitalize on Ulencio's mistakes. The end came when Ulencio rolled of the ring to eat a drop kick from Rucksack. Rucksack rolled Ulencio in to the ring and hit the King of the Road to knock Ulencio out for the three count.
Match decision: Rucksack Jack def. Ulencio with KING OF THE ROAD @ 9:56
Jack Hood stares at Rucksack Jack as his hand is raised in victory. A burlap sack lands in his lap.
"Told you, he's tough and hard to hold down. Shouldn't let the cover of the book confuse what's inside it."
Jack seethes in anger as he slips on the burlap sack. "It is itchy. I hate this planet."
Dog Soldier (Cheyenne Tribal Nation - Earth) vs. Hubris (Apis Apodis)
Match Notes: Hubris was showing blatant disrespect towards Dog Soldier. He had hurt Dog Soldier on a few occasions, but couldn't put the Native American away. Hubris taunted his foe from the top rope as he tried for a cross body block. Dog Soldier hopped up and chopped him in the face, the impact knocked Hubris loopy, Dog soldier spun and delivered a devastating roundhouse kick he calls the Warrior's Creed for the win.
Match decision: Dog Soldier def Hubris with WARRIOR"S CREED @ 11:42
Cobra Rex Sexy (Andromeda 7) vs. Tattooed Monk (Erhai Valley, Yunnan, China - Earth)
Match Notes: Cobra Rex Sexy came to the ring with quite the entourage of people from Andromeda 7. After high fiving and strutting. Tattooed Monk came to the ring almost unnoticed due to the antics of Cobra Rex Sexy. Once the match began, Cobra Rex Sexy should have ran for the hills. Tattooed Monk laid into him so hard and fast. It was almost over before it began. Two Lips Gone & Teeth Cold back head kicks finished Cobra Rex Sexy.
Match decision: Tattooed Monk squashed Cobra Rex Sexy with LIPS GONE & TEETH COLD @ 0:34
Heather Powers stood up clapping at the squash of Cobra Rex Sexy. "Good thing we Sol System wrestlers are total crap and unworthy of fighting the galaxies finest. Right Jack?"
"I may have underestimated...It doesn't matter the night is still young."
Aurora looked on with a stern expression on her face saying nothing.
Ayngar (Cygnus) vs. Spirit Dancer (Black Hills - South Dakota - Earth)
Match Notes: Ayngar upset that not one wrestler had been able to defeat the Sol wrestlers came out and put Spirit Dancer in danger of losing quite quickly. Spirit Dancer survived the onslaught and began to come back on the bigger wrestler. A Ghost Dance took Ayngar's fire from him and a Native Neckbreaker put the big man from Cygnus out for the count.
Match decision: Spirit Dancer def Ayngar with a Native Neckbreaker @ 15:21
Funky Hound Soul (Andromeda 9) vs. Kalisto (Callisto Moon - Jupiter)
Match Notes: So far the fight of the night, Kalisto hit two Great Red Spot very early on and it looked as if Funky Hound Soul was done for the night, but he slipped out at 2 9/10th. Bloody and nearly beaten it looked like Funky was done, but then Kalisto botched a high spot off the ropes and Funky took over hitting three Jive Times to bust open Kalisto. The match was back and forth for a bit then Funky Hound Soul hit one last Jive Time to put Kalisto away for the win.
Match decision: Funky Hound Soul def Kalisto with JIVE TIME @ 25:20
Chuchi Morales (La Paz, Boliva - Earth vs. Negro Morte (Siam Kingdom - Pavonis)
Match Notes: Chucho was having fun and toying with Negro Morte for a bit. Then Chucho made the mistake of letting Negro Morte on offense. Negro Morte never looked back and locked up Chucho with the Siam Playbook for the win.
Match decision: Negro Morte def Chucho Morales with SIAM PLAYBOOK @ 7:10
Jack Hood pulled on the Rucksack shirt and smirked. "Looks we are finally hitting our stride."
Heather laughed and poured herself a drink. "Yeah looks like it. Four to two so far Hoodie."
Praveer Singh (India - Earth) vs. Static (Manceros)
Match Notes: Great match, back and forth, both men kicked out of each others finishers. Praveer finally hit a third Vision of Defeat to put away Static. After the match, Static was very upset at the loss and wanted to keep fighting.
Match decision: Praveer Singh def Static with VISIONS OF DEFEAT @ 18:02
"Yes!" Heather stands up and cheers. "That's five! We are a just as good as you POW/GWF folks. We belong."
"We shall see." Aurora says quietly.
"What more do you need to see?" Heather looks confused at Aurora.
"Shroud. I want to see him."
"Really?" Heather sits back down in her chair deep in thought.
One Eye (Mercury) vs. Junious (CTA-102)
Match Notes: This match was bound to happen with all the heat from the two teams. The Sol system wrestlers we already celebrating their team win. One Eye came out looking very smug. Junious began talking smack and both men started brawling before the bell. The ref tried to get control, but One Eye was able to pull his SAP from his trunks and wack Junious on the head putting his lights out. The pin was academic. Both locker rooms cleared and a mini brawl took place. Order was finally restored and the main event was announced.
Match decision: One Eye def Junious with SAP ATTACK @ 1:10
"See you people of SOL are cheaters!" Jack Hood ripped off the burlap sack shirt and flung it at Heather Powers. Heather stood up ready to fight. Aurora yelled at Jack to stop and held up a finger to stop the advancing Miss Powers.
"Hold on! Stop! Jack you need to stop. Heather, please stop. We have one more match. Everything hinges on this match."
"What is so important about this match?"
"If Shroud puts on a good match, SSC will be invited to join us as partners. With as many wrestlers this system has, it would be an injection of much needed talent. But if your champion is not up to the task and puts in a poor performance all is lost. DO you understand?"
Heather reached back to her chair and sits down. She pours herself another drink. "Yeah, I understand."
At that moment Benjamin Shroud's music hits the arena and the place goes wild.
Galactic Champion -Torin Caelum (Sagitta) vs. Sol System Champion - Benjamin Shroud(Brooklyn, New York - Earth)
Match Notes: When you think of two champions giving it their all in a match you'll think if this one match. Shroud looked a little in awe at first facing Torin. Torin, using his superior wrestling skills put on a clinic for the first ten minutes of the match. Even putting the Calleum's Grip on Shroud, from which the challenger broke free from. First time ever in Torin's career. This unnerved the champion a bit. Shroud's training was having an effect on the champion and his strength advantage was starting to take over the match. Shroud finally was able to put on The Frederick Douglass and was thinking he had the match won, but something amazing happened. Torin broke the grip on the TFD and escaped. Nobody had broken the TFD before this night. Both men having new found respect for each other engaged in the center of the ring. Punches, kicks and throws from both men would have stopped lesser men. Shroud gaining the upper hand slung Torin to the ropes, the champion jumped over the challenger and hit a perfect sunset flip. For the win. Shroud was so stunned that he actually advanced on Torin, even as the ref held up his hand in victory. Shroud realizing he lost fell to his knees and covered his face. Torin went down to a knee and talked with the champ for a while, finally getting Shroud to rise up. Torin held up his arm in respect. Benjamin Shroud held up Torin's arm in victory and left the ring. The crowd was cheering the champion.
Match decision: Torin Caleum def Benjamin Shroud with Sunset Slip @ 35:14. to retain his Galactic Championship.
Firelights and sound explosions filtered in to the skybox. Heather Powers was slumped in her chair. Jack Hood was smiling and laughing. Aurora was on her eye piece talking with someone. Finally she pushed the ear piece and stood up walking towards Heather Powers. Heather stood up and smoothed her pant suit.
"Well?"
"Shroud was a success. His rating was very high, we would like to extend our offer. Full Partnership. SSC/POW/GWF although we should just pick one of these from here on and market the heck out of it."
Heather smiled a huge smile and reached out to shake Aurora's hand.
"I kind of always like Galactic Wrestling Federation."
"Me too" Aurora said.
"uh..no." Jack Hood smirked and took off his hat.

WOW, this is super cool! I created Ulencio (and mortified that he lost to Rucksack Jack, LOL), Torin Caelum is my favorite Classics character, and I'm currently running a WGX in which Shroud is a major heel. Nice to see someone else using a lot of the L-FSCE characters! I really like your writing style too. Great stuff man!
