Fed Origin And Subsequent Developments In Order of Occurence:


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merapis Professional Wrestling
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Welcome everybody!

The premise here is:


Instead of GODSEND (the eternal being) only bringing in 18 champions from the GWF to his mysterious Merapis, he has brought many, many multiple champions (and even wannabe champions lol) from the GWF, LWF as well as what I'll call the IWF to Merapis for even more of his own personal amusement.

Over the course of every round of play (aka 21 short cards - only 3 bouts on each card) every wrestler here competes in exactly one singles bout and in exactly one tag bout (as part of an official tag team). This way all of the competitors have equal chances to qualify as championship contenders

The Two Sanctioned Championships That Will Eventually Be Crowned Are:

⭐ -  Merapis Heavyweight Championship
⭐ -  Merapis Tag Team Championship

That's about it folks !!!

Hopefully the results will be fun / intriguing.

Will be playing & posting as often as I can.

Wish me luck - I'm still trying to develop and stick with one fed for the long haul.



(The Seven Part Origin of This Fed)


1 - The Perfect Storm 


KAAAA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!...

Endgame (struggling to get to his feet) - What was that?...where...where are we master?...

The Guardian (lifting himself off of his knees) - I don't know...I'm not...familiar with this...planet...

Vallah (making his way towards them through many swampy jungle vines) - It's called Merapis...and this...is the trickster gods doing...but this is very...very...powerful magic...

Endgame - Godsends?...

Vallah (scanning the darkened skies) - Yes...

Endgame (to Vallah) - That explains that thunder clap...by far...the loudest one I've ever heard...but how else can you judge it's severity...master?...

The Guardian - Godsend's lightning is always...

Vallah (interrupting) - Thunderless...yes...thunderless my children...

Endgame (noticing multiple things moving about vast swampy plateaus on lower elevations) - There are others here...

The Guardian (whilst levitating and slowly taking flight and to Vallah) - Many others...Endgame and I will go investigate...

Endgame (already in motion and making his way through the viney vegatation and to Vallah) - Will you be ok here master?...

Vallah (sitting down upon the top of the hill they are on and crossing his knees) - Yes...let me know what you find...

(As Endgame starts to make his way down the viney side of this hill...and The Guardian starts to survey below from the sky...Vallah goes into a deeply meditative state):

Vallah (Thinking out loud...with his eyes rolled back into his head...he joins his hands together in a sort of focused yet contemplative prayer) - One thing is for sure......something is very......wrong here...


2 - The Guardian


(The Guardian is in flight...and sees below him a vast jungle / marsh / swampland...several shall we say...beings...appear confused...and most...if not all...are trying to find their way out of what appears to be...a virtually unending swampy bog of a planet).

(Some of these beings The Guardian recognizes...most are of human...(or at least humanoid in form)...a few Aethrans...many wrestlers who appear to be from the planet Earth...including The Road Warriors...The Briscoes...Michael Elgin...Moog and Sentinel...and perched high up in a tree...Wolf...who incidentally appears to be the first one of all who are down on the lower levels...who has sensed and spotted The Guardian).

(The largest contingent of...beings...that The Guardian has noticed amongst the movements...appears to be that of two obviously different indigenous tribes...both are curiously engaged in two different activities).

(The first activity...is an obvious skirmish between them...not with powered...or even ranged weapons...but in a wide scale sort of guerrilla warfare melee...it struck The Guardian as some kind of...prehistoric style...civil war?).

(Now the second activity...as if the first one wasn't troubling enough...is the one that really concerned The Guardian...because while these two tribes were warring with each other...(and incidentally with some of the various wrestlers down there as well - like The Great Gama and especially Monolith)...all were either...slowly...or quickly...moving away from a much larger force of beings...that were moving towards all of them.)

(This vast force...was just that...and it had to be...in the millions...they were eventually overwhelming and capturing all...who they were able to overcome.)

(The Guardian was still trying to understand it all...as he decided to risk it some...by flying low enough to be just above the tree tops...and that's...when it happened).

(A large glowing net shot up from within the trees...and before he knew it...someone had ensnared The Guardian...in something crafted of very powerful material...and was dragging him down underneath the branches of the tree tops).


3 - Endgame


(This vast force...were simply just too much for everyone else escape...not necessarily on a man to man basis...(or toe to toe if you will)...but just by the sheer number of them).

(They appeared as though to be a multitude of beings...not only from our Earth...but from across the entire galaxy...but with a few - unnerving differences).

(For one...they didn't blink...at all...and didn't appear...to be breathing...and as Endgame continued to try to fight his way through the hoard...he noticed that all of them...male...female...and offspring...all had the same...eyes).

(Yellow...unnatural...sickly - looking eyes...diseased eyes...perhaps even - possessed eyes).

(He really didn't know what to make of them...just that to him...they simply looked like...).

(But then...he saw him...Endgame saw him...it was Godsend...if this was GODSEND (the eternal)...then it was him from what had to be at least...20 odd years ago...maybe more).

(As Godsend was making his way perpendicularly through the vast hoard that was trying to capture not only the two warring...(lizard like)...tribes...and various wrestlers...some of "The Vast" were speaking to him...but he (Godsend) continued largely unimpeded towards the hill top - where Vallah was).

(With haste...Endgame started to run...and fight...towards Godsend...with visions of hate starting to cloud Endgames emotions...but by now...Endgame used his mindfulness...to process these thoughts...until...).

(Endgame was surrounded...and swarmed by at least 30 of "The Vast"...and he eventually succumbed to them...but as he started to lose consciousness...he saw something that gave him hope).

(Somebody else...was expertly tracking Godsend...someone who Endgame had never met in person...but had seen old pictures and film of).


4 - Godsend


(Godsend himself...also (like Vallah) knew something was wrong here...very wrong...as he made his way through the throngs of "The Vast" towards the hill that...(luckily he could still sense)...that Vallah was on).

(Tired of hearing comments from The Vast like, "Look forward to seeing you in the ring" and "even though things backfired...we still think you'll be champ"...worrisome of the numerous comments of, "Remember...give us what we want"...and having the realization that the overwhelming majority of his immense powers...are gone...but of course...he knew damn well to allude to all...that he still had them).

(Lost in his own thoughts...continuously amended agendas...as well as fears...Godsend failed to notice someone following him...someone in fact...who was tracking him).

(Godsend started to slow his pace...as he was now nearly at the top of the hilltop Vallah occupied...the person tracking him...continued to move stealthily...and was silenter...than the softest breeze).

(Just before Godsend was about to attack Vallah...and all was silent as the grave):

Vallah (speaking aloud...not to Godsend...but to the person tracking Godsend) - Now!...

(Before Godsend had realized what was going on...someone pounced on him from behind...this person (The Tracker) had him trapped in what seemed to be a powerful sleeperhold...Godsend tried to yell...but couldn't...he also tried - to whirl about and break out of the hold...but couldn't...the tracker now scissored Godsends legs and torso...twisted his body...and drove both of them to the ground...Godsend passed out in the hold...and then the tracker released the hold and spoke):

Omega of Cetus (to Vallah) - So what now?...Where are we...And what is happening?...

Vallah (to Omega and noticing that the three of them are now completely encircled by "The Vast") - This is Merapis...and unfortunately...they are the ones...who will be running the show...

Omega of Cetus (looking around) - For how long?...

Vallah - Forever...We should go quietly...There are too many of them...However...you and I need to talk...but in another place...at another time...


5 - Omega and The Imperfect Storm


(Omega of Cetus finds himself awakening in a form of jail cell...he wipes the sleep from his eyes - and looks about at other cells across the hall...and both ways down the hall...and after looking up and down...he noticed that there were multiple floors to this...well...prison...that many wrestlers and indigenous tribes are incarcerated in).

(Omega suddenly hears a voice speaking to him...in his mind...):

Vallah (telepathically to Omega) - Proud Omega of Cetus...we have...a problem...

Omega of Cetus (speaking aloud - but as softly as he can) - What is this all about Vallah?...

Vallah (after taking a moment to collect his thoughts) - GODSEND the eternal...attempted to banish the greatest stars throughout wrestling's grand histories onto this...planet...I got wind of his plans...and attempted to turn the tables by bannishing only...him...to this...secret world...but the two of us became engaged in a war...of...left handed...and right handed magic...that unfortunately...has not only backfired on a colossal scale...and cancelled out the majority of my powers...

Godsend (interrupting telepathically and shockingly to both Vallah and Omega) - But has subsequently bannished...all of us...amongst so many...many others...here...

Vallah (to both) - Forever...

Omega of Cetus (audibly but softly to Godsend) - I never should have released my hold on you...I should have cracked you...even both of us if I had to - in half...when I had the chance...

Godsend (to Omega and ) - Now Now...Chiefy...wouldn't want your blood pressure to blow...or your feathers...to catch fire would you?...besides...Vallah...V...think about it...isn't this a far more...kinkier form of chess...between you and I...

Vallah - Meaning?...

Godsend - Any good chess player worth his salt...knows that once you trade queens...the game becomes so...much...more intense...most of you're powers...are gone...

Vallah - As are...most of yours...

Godsend - Not true...

Vallah - That's correct...you're not being truthful...

Omega of Cetus - Ahh...So both...of you...screwed us...who are all of those people...that well outnumber the rest of us on this planet?...

Vallah - Fans...wrestling fans...from all throughout the galaxy...that have become...horribly cursed...because of...

Godsend - You and I Vallah...Blah blah blah...Look ladies...its so simple...as every friggin one of them say..."Give us what we want...And no one get's hurt"...This...is hot...I personally...couldn't be more aroused...


6 - The Fans


(20 million...were (unintentionally) ensnared in the battle of enchantments between GODSEND and Vallah...and unfortunately they were the ones who suffered the most collateral damage...they are just a step above zombies...and all share a universal mind...and are physically imprisoned on Merapis as well as within their own minds).

(Due to their overwhelming numbers, they now are the Lords of Merapis...including over the two indigenous tribes, "The Evolved" and "The Lower Forms"...and not to mention all of the 80 or so wrestlers that are imprisoned here with everybody else).

(So...whether they like it or not...today starts the rest of all of their lives...on Merapis)


7 - The Skinny


So there we are, 84 wrestlers (who also comprise 42 tag teams), here to do battle for the powers that be.

Every 21 cards, all wrestlers compete in exactly...one singles bout and one tag team bout.

At the end of each 21 card cycle, top contenders will be chosen and will compete for one of two following titles:

Merapis Heavyweight Championship
Merapis Tag Team Championships

All cards take place at the newly renovated Merapis Amphitheatre.

The competitors are from the past, present and even the future, throughout the universe, including our Earth.


Let the games begin!...



More Developments On Merapis
From The End of The Origin - Through Card No - 6



Formation of "The Council"


Vallah and Omega of Cetus eventually did talk, along with Endgame and The Guardian joining them in multiple (sometimes heated) conversations, as well as in what became to slowly be known by all on Merapis as "The Council". While at first not trusting Vallah, Omega's grandson Bloodline is now part of this as well - in concert with his grandfather's new beliefs.

The Council's collective purpose here is several fold; 1. Protectors of the oppressed. 2. Arbiters (and generally benevolent ones) as well as truth tellers of this shared new "Merapic" reality. 3. Attempting to maintain order within the "Galactic" and "Earthly" wrestling ranks and 4. Their own personal survival.

Consequently another group...has started to command some influence and respect...has also formed after The Imperfect Storm...


Formation of "The Marquee"


As much as he blusters, infuriates and prognosticates, the trickster god GODSEND is indeed quite worried. This new reality wasn't his plan at all, and try as he might, no-one is buying that he still has his immense powers. So he's back to being his former, (dare I say), "lower case" self. Knowing that he needs insulation here, he started whispering in people's ears to join him:

Gladiator of Aethra Havoc - Who immediately saw right through Godsend's bare naked attempts to lure the only Aethran's here on Merapis (in Havoc and Paralyze) into joining this "un-stable", (if you will). Havoc told him to go scratch.

Monolith - Godsend thought he had figured out his approach to the genetic beast...until he locked eyes with him...for in this instance...it wasn't just Monolith's scowl that he was looking at...it was...MONOLITH'S...Godsend then quickly abandoned his plans...which brought great amusement to Monoliths tag team partner...Wolf...it was literally a howling good laugh...

Moog & Sentinel - Castilex attacked Godsend on sight...even before he could hardly utter a sound (boy he couldn't have been more wrong here)...however it was someone who happened to come to Godsend's rescue that wound up forming a nucleus of "Godsend's Insulation"...

Chaos Supreme - Whether some of his former managers machiavellian methods have rubbed off on him or not...(and he may have his own agenda (or agendas)...Chaos Supreme has decided to support...and even protect Godsend...(it would appear)...they've also formed a tag team.

It should also be noted that Godsend...(with Chaos Supreme always standing behind him)...has been in multiple talks...and even whispers...with the team of...Morpheus (who now calls himself Hades)...and the even more unpredictable Ghost of Terror...they are also now part of The Marquee...


A Meeting In...The Deep Shadows (a particularly nasty and most foul swamp)


Orrus The Unstoppable - The time has come for this destructive...and senseless war to end...

Tarval The Trapper - The one that you...started...

Orrus The Unstoppable - I didn't start this...

Tarval The Trapper - You're kind did...so we...will be the ones who finish it...we will ensnare you're kind...one...by...one...

Orrus The Unstoppable - We all have bigger problems now...don't we?...we all have to try to start building a trust towards a peace...why do you think I sought...you out?...

Tarval The Trapper (as he starts to walk away) - To deceive...as all of you do...

Orrus The Unstoppable (a little louder) - I saw you ensnare The Guardian...and drag him unmercifully down to the ground...for that...you will always have my respect...I need someone mighty like you...to...(continuing despite an audibly obvious internal struggle)...to help me...

Tarval The Trapper (stops walking and pauses in thought for a moment...and then replying with his back still to Orrus) - ...Speak...

Orrus The Unstoppable - So we...you and I...can help all of...Us...Take back...Our...Planet...

(Tarval The Trapper pauses in thought for a moment...turns his head to face Orrus...and starts to form a malevolent smirk...)


Edicts From "The Vast"


1.  All qualifying (i.e. winning) wrestlers and teams...who wish to be additionally considered for the championship matches...must pubically make their case inside the center of the ring...after the conclusion of the main event...on Card 21...we will not arbitrarily decide on contenders...unless none of you prove yourselves to be of championship caliber...so choose you're words carefully...

2.  Any contacts with either the upper...or lower classes...of the indigenous Merapi...are strictly forbidden...and if the perpetrators are lucky...they will only face...incarceration...Formation of "The Council"

From The End of Card 6 - Through Card No - 8


Another Meeting In...The Deep Shadows (a particularly nasty and most foul swamp...that's about to get much...much nastier)


Matt Jackson - Are we there yet?...

Kenny Omega - Christ man almost!...

Nick Jackson - You sure this is a good idea K?...

(At this moment...something probably female appeared from a small thatch hut nearby...it is wearing something that appears...to be way...too small).

Kenny Omega - Marval The Trapper!...I've heard so much...about you!...

Marval The Trapper (as she pushes and holds open the door to the hut) - Omega...Come Here...

Matt Jackson - K that's...the very powerful Merapi contact?...

Nick Jackson - You still sure...this is a good idea?...

Kenny Omega (low so only The Young Bucks can hear) - Listen you two...this meeting is gonna get us In Like Flint here...No matter...And I mean...No Matter...What you both may hear...both of you...Stay Outside!...

(And with that...as Kenny Omega joined Marval The Trapper inside the hut...The Young Bucks decided to just keep they're eyes peeled and on lookout...in case anyone else approached the area).

(And they did just that...no matter what very bizarre...and disturbing sounds...emitted from the hut).

Matt Jackson (low and to his brother) - Talk about...gettin' some strange...

Nick Jackson (low and to his brother) - Y'all got...that right...


Formation of "The Tribe of The Red Hands"


(The midnight bout...that took place within the empty Merapis Amphitheatre...was one for the ages...but it wasn't for anyone's eyes but...the two teams involved...and the one guest referee who was able to facilitate the match...both tag teams beat the living...shit ..out of eachother...the ring was left streaked...with combinations of lots of red...and some black...and precisely when...the automated time clock rang at 90:00...the referee shouted out...OK!...TIME!...)

(Gladiator of Aethra Paralyze...after a final stare down between himself...and the only other member...of the other team left standing...Paralyze offered his hand to this man's parter...who was still prone on the ground outside the ring...and helped him...Road Warrior Animal...up to his feet...)

(The man who Paralyze had just had a last minute staredown with...Road Warrior Hawk...offered his hand to Paralyze's parter...who lay in his own blood on the canvas...whom accepted the offer...Gladiator of Aethra Havoc...)

Road Warrior Animal (to The Gladiators) - You have...our respect...

Gladiator of Aethra Havoc (to The Road Warriors) - You have ours as well...

(As The Road Warriors and Paralyze started discussing...and even laughing some...about their bout against eachother...Havoc limped over towards the referee...who stood in the corner with his arms on the ropes):

Gladiator of Aethra Havoc (after looking over his shoulder towards what is starting to appear to be brethren...and then spoke to the referee) - You know that...if what is rumored to be forming soon...comes to be...all four of us will be you're enemies...inside the ring...

The Referee aka Endgame (after pausing in thought for a moment and then saying) - Just take note of a few things...just which group was able to arrange this tonight...and that despite our differences in the past...we can for a few reasons...be content...with losing to a group like this...

Gladoator of Aethra Hovoc (while shaking hands with Endgame) - Noted...

Endgame (while looking down at the hand he shook hands with...which is now blood covered) - Besides...if you guys didn't bring it...we'd be dissapointed...

(Havoc smirked at the comment...as he limped back towards the others).


The Kindness of Strangers


(As a waif like woman...and her six year old daughter...continued to deliver and place...in front of the row of cells...meals on medal trays...the woman started to realize something...)

(On this lowest level of the prison...that used to belong to The Merapi...all of the figures within the cells were...actually women...not men...and for whatever reason...these figures often stayed towards the very dimly lit backs of their cells...until today...)

The Daughter (to her mommy) - Mommy...why are all of these...ladies...down here...

The Woman (to her daughter...while realizing that the little girl noticed this as well) - I don't know sweetheart...

(It was at this point...that one of the ladies came to the front of her cell to reach for her tray...despite other people being around...)

The Daughter (to the blonde lady reaching for her food and making eye contact with the little girl) - Hello...

The Blonde Lady (to the little girl) - Hello...yourself...why...do you have an "L"...on you're forhead...

The Daughter (as she turned to face her mommy who was joining the conversation) - Some people told us...loser...

The Woman (who also has an L on her forhead) - I told you baby...that doesn't mean...

The Blonde Lady (interrupting and really to both of them) - Well...I just happen to know little girl...what those L's stand for...

The Daughter - You do!...

Penny Banner - They stand for...Lovely...

(Which made the little girl smile...and her mommy nod in appreciation...)

The Woman - I'm sorry...for so long...we thought you were all men...the two of us I think are the only people here...except for maybe our boss...that know you're all...down here...

Penny Banner - All of the higher ups here...with yellowish eyes like you both...know we are here...

The Woman - Why are you all here?...

(Penny Banner stared down at the floor...not quite knowing what to say...and then there was a sound of footsteps coming from a cell two cells over...it's occupant stood at the front of her cage and said):

Gladiator of Aethra Thrash (to the woman with a tone of angry sarcasm) - Why do you think?...

Penny Banner - What are you're names?...

The Woman - We don't...we don't...remember...

The Daughter (while pointing to Penny) - Mommy...how can we open her bars?...

(Then the little girl turns and points towards Thrash and says in a lower volume to her mommy):

The Daughter - Even...the...scary ladies'?...


Edict From "The Vast"


1.  We...The Upper Echelon...we who have...a U branded into our forheads...hereby decree that any contacts with the rest of our own many forces...The Lower Echelon...who all have...an L branded into their forheads...is strictly forbidden...and if the perpetrators are discovered and caught...then just....use your imagination...


More Developments On Merapis
From The End of Card 9 - Through Card No - 14


Operation Mindcrime:


(The scene is a meeting within some voluminous caverns...about 7 or 8 miles away from The Deep Shadows swampland...that's been refered by The Indigenous Merapi for eons as..."The Temples"...this illustrious...and most...sacred...cavern complex has become...the new headquarters of The Vast's "Upper Eschelon"...)

(The members of The Upper Eschelon...have attained their status through a variety of means...some were immediately recognizable and respected...and feared...and some turned out to be crafty politicians...and / or...gifted...in political theater...but all now have the support of Godsend...who...appear...to trust him):

Recent Developments:

1.  The indigenous Merapis tribes', (aka Merapi), state of Civil War...has suddenly and unexpectedly ended - outside of The Vast...The Merapi are the largest force on the planet...and their two champions...Orrus The Unstoppable and Tarval The Trapper...(who were once bitter enemies)...have now formed an alliance...spurning a noticeable contingent of the Lower Eschelon (whose total numbers are almost 20 million strong)...to start becoming sympathetic towards all of the Merapi...thanks in no small part...to a charismatic and effective public advocate in the name of Kenny Omega...and the pregnant sister of Tarval...

2.  The Upper Eschelons' attempt to secretly subjugate and convert 42 women into concubines has colossaly...backfired  -  starting with sympathy and compassion...(through the eyes of a stranger)...in this case from a little girl and her mother...word was quickly spread throughout the Lower Echelon...and several male wrestlers...regarding the women's situation and imprisonment...resulting in a scattering...and retreating of...The Upper Eschelon to...The Temples...The U.E. and their security force...have spun this retreat actualy as an "ascension" in power...via occupation of The Temples...


You Say You Want A Revolution:


(Fueled largely as a result of the two previously stated points, The Lower Eschelon have forcefully approached The Upper Eschelon):

Ultimatums:

1.  They want an immediate new system of government on Merapis...one that encompasses and involves...All...of the members of The Vast...not just The Upper Eschelon...and if this is...refused...then there will be nothing short of...a full scale...Merciless...Revolution...

2.  The previously stated method...of selecting Heavyweight and Tag Team Championship contenders from a very large pool of wrestlers with even records...are categorically unacceptable...new methods must be devised...and also accepted by...The Lower Eschelon immediately...or face annihilation...


What The Majority on Merapis Knows:


The Lower Eschelon:

1.  Although the Lower Eschelon are presenting themselves as a united front to the Upper Eschelon...in order to make their demands...the reality is...their alliance is very precarious...with multiple parties and factors in play - applying their own pressures on the whole...from the reunified Merapi...to various internally competing groups...and the vast majority of The Lower Eschelon...who haven't declared an official side in this overall situation...but who are quite simplistic...and impressionable...in nature...

2.  Vallah and his followers have pledged their allegiance to...and are advocates for...the Lower Eschelon...but they are not universally trusted by them...for at least some of them partially...(if not completely) blame Vallah for everyone's predicament as much as they blame Godsend...

The Upper Eschelon:

1.  In addition to knowing all of what The Lower Eschelon knows...(and is faced with)...they are also aware that...despite this...The Lower Eschelon is slowly getting more...and more...cohesive...if things are not rectified soon...then...THEY...will indeed become the Masters of Merapis...not The Upper Eschelon...and the E.U...cannot...have that!...

2.  The tightest groups (by far) on Merapis...(with the exception of the now reunited Merapi)...are the contingents of the Vast...who are from the same geographical origins...of the wrestlers they support...AND...the wrestlers that they root for...themselves...

The Individual Wrestlers on This Roster:

1.  They have bonded with these particular sets of fans...aka all of The Vast - (both Upper and Lower)...unlike they've bonded with anyone...or group...ever before...like a new family...ones that practice tribalism as a means of..."Merapic Self-Preservation"...


What The Majority on Merapis DOESN'T Know:


The Combined Indigenous (Merapi) Tribes:

Are working together...to pit both sides of the Vast...(and the wrestlers they support)...all against one another...with The Upper Evolved trying to influence the Lower Eschelon...(through cleverness and preying upon...naivete)...and with The Lower Evolved trying to influence The Upperr Eschelon...(through fear and preying upon...insecurities)...the Merapi want sovereignty of their planet back...Orrus and Tarval...are the ones putting the plans...and the pieces into play...as part of a now 100% unified force...

Vallah:

Has decided...(considering the huge amounts of peoples and beings involved...not to mention the rapidly shifting politics)...that it would be in everyone's best interests..(including himself and his followers)...if he sowed the seeds of a particular solution...to The Upper Eschelon of The Vast...(as their answer to The Lower Eschelon's ultimatums)...that should be able to thread all of these needles...or at least...(if nothing else)...be something...that will buy them some extra time...before it all goes inevitably...and irreversibly...south...


The Upper Eschelon's Accepted Comprimises...To The Lower Eschelon's Demands...In The Form of Edicts (all of which are Vallah's ideas - that he has magically cast into the minds of the U.E.):


1.  Effective immediately...two new championships will be sanctioned...the Merapis Women's Championship...as well as the Merapis Atomicos Championship...

2.  The inaugural group of governors will be decided upon with the crownings of all of the inaugural championships...these (8) champions...will in fact...also become...governors...and will rule unconditionally in all matters Merapic (as the spokesmen/spokeswomen of themselves - and they're devoted members of The Vast)...subsequently...as champions change...then...so do governors...and the privileged contingencies...that are represented...

3.  The inaugural champions will not be determined at...and or on...a particular card...they will be determined as...and when...they stand alone in their divisions...as the only one's who remain...undefeated...

4.  The Divisions will be as follows - Mens Singles, Mens Tag, Women's Singles, Atomicos...

5.  The Championships & Governorships will subsequently be - Heavyweight Champion, Tag Team Champions, Women's Champion, Atomicos Champions*...respectively...

(*Note - Atomicos teams may very well be mixed men & women's teams - but this will be decided upon on a case to case basis - as per the wishes of the teammates involved).



More Developments On Merapis
From The End of Card 15 - Through Card No - 17


Twelve Angry Beings / Waiting To Exhale:


(The scene is the main chamber of "The Temples"...seated around the roughly hewn stone rulers table are...The Twelve Members of The Upper Eschelon of The Vast...)

(Mind you...they are still members of The Vast...however...they are both...who they used to be...and also...different...depending upon the severity of how cursed they were during The Imperfect Storm...)

(Their long...and heated meeting...is suddenly interrupted...):


Omen (to all) - Prepare yourselves...someone's coming...

(At this moment...out from the darkened opposite end of this main (& former) rulers chamber...walked someone who somehow entered this cavernous complex...from the  (mostly unexplored) lower catacombs...):


Godsend (to all) - It's alright everybody...don't get up...I'll let myself in...

Thantos (standing up and pointing at Godsend) - Where The Hell Did You Come From?!?...

Godsend (loudly to Thantos...as he walks towards the head of the table...to deliberately distract) - Man...Did...You Get Old?...Sit Back Down...You Aready Shot You're Load...I Mean Broke You're Code...

BD Abroz - You Are Not Welcome Here...

The Leveler (as it arms the weapon in its arm...and points it at Godsend) - F.R.E.E.Z.E.!...

Magnus Colby (to The Leveler) - Shoot Him!...

Abdullah Farouk (to all as he looks down towards the direction Godsend had emerged from) - And Them!...


(Everyone seated around the table turned toward the other end of the chamber to where they see standing there the wrestlers...Ghost of Terror...Hades...and Chaos Supreme...):


Godsend (to all) - Ohhhhh Don't Mind Them...They Just Wanted To Make Sure I Got Here OK...So Listen Folks...First Off...Everybody Sit Down And Relax...My Little Speech...Won't Take Long...

Truth Martini (to all) - What can we possibly have to lose...at this point ?...

Godsend (to Martini) - That's The Spirit!...

Vin Strutter (to all) - Look...Why Should We...

Zaratticus (interrupting & to all) - I Want To Hear Him Out...

Buster (to Strutter but motioning to Zaratticus) - Shut Up!...When He's Interrupting!...

Jimmy Hart (to Buster) - That's The Spirit Reptile!...

Charlie Cox - The Floor Is Yours...Trickster...God...

Godsend (to all) - Well Thank You...Mr. Cox...First off...I've gotta say to each...and everyone of you...well hell to all...of the Illustrious!...Upper Eschelon!...What...a stroke of genius...I read each and every letter of your Last Edict...all I can say is...its a true...Masterpiece!...


(The 12 we're silent...but most of them did shoot quick looks at each other...):


Godsend (to all) - But of course...all of us...and I do mean all of us...know that these last..."Edicts"...although conveyed by you...were in fact...None of Your Own...Creation...And I don't mean that...in a bad...or a condescending...way...


(A few of the 12...exhaled deeply...):


Godsend (to all) - But I...know...whose ideas these...truly were...

Vin Strutter (to Godsend) - Let Me Guess...Yours...Right...

Godsend (to Strutter) - I like you're style Strutts...and truth be told...I almost wish that I could claim credit...for that...but no...It was not...I...

BD Abroz (to Godsend as he motioned to The Leveler to lower his arm some) - Whom then?...

Godsend (to Abroz) - Someone...dare I say...unexpected...and someone...as it turns out...not as forthcoming...as I...

Magnus Colby (to Godsend) - Ok...I'll bite...

Godsend (to Colby & all in mock cheerleader mode) - Give Me...A V...An A...An L...Another L...Heck Give Me A Big Ole'...A.H!...What Does It Spell?...

Thantos (to Godsend) - None of this...adds up...

Godsend (to Thantos) - A Curse... That...Complex?!?...that's...Vallah's work...that has his signature written...all...over it...

The Leveler (to Godsend) - B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T...

Godsend (to The Leveler) - You Know If I Was You...And of course In between making my crummy cups of coffee...I Would Have Thought The Very...same...thing...who would have thought...that I...would be more...straightforward...and...honest...yes...honest...than he just was?...

Thantos (after staring briefly at Hades some & then to Godsend) - We're...Listening...

Godsend (to all) - Yes...it's true...I am a part of the reason why...that...were all here...but I only wanted...the wrestlers...to be here...and even in that case...I only wanted...replicas of them...replicas...only...

Charlie Cox (to Godsend) - You expect us to take yourreee...word?...

Godsend (to Cox) - I can...under-stand...if you didn't...but I have to say...now...considering that...this is coming from...me...if I had that kind of power left...would I now have to literally sneak around with...the rats?...would I even bother...to formally approach all of you...with an offer...that could help all of us...inside this...sacred chamber?...

Hades (to Thantos) - Thantos...you listened to me once before...I'm imploring you...to listen to Godsend now...for once...he's right...and he speaks the truth here...

Godsend (to all) - Exactly...now I know that the combination of...Vallah and myself...(Godsend now sits at a spare seat at the table...exhales nervously...and continues)...caused...all of this...and maybe my own...image is...my own fault...the ladies do love...bad boys...but...(Godsend exhales again...stands...and continues)...I'm here to try to...right some of those wrongs...for instance...as it is...it's only a matter of time before...The Lower Eschelon...assumes total control...and it's only a...matter of time before...Vallah has all of us...doing his bidding...I have a proposal to solve both...of these...situations...and even a few more...if you please just humor me a little while longer...


(Godsend then closes his eyes and nods to Chaos Supreme...who in turn helps up to his feet...another member of The Vast (Lower Eschelon technically) that was sitting on the floor and tilting is head rhythmically back and forth...the man formerly known as...The Dark Menace...with the yellowest eyes most have ever seen...on Merapis...and disturbingly enough...also in a Modified R.E.M. state...Chaos tries to make eye contact with Colby...but Colby appears to be avoiding eye contact):


Godsend (walks over to the emotionless Dark Menace...puts an arm around him and says to all) - This man...is a master...of...illusion...with his knowledge and...ingenuity...he can make all of you...appear to be...Gods...have terrible previously unforeseen creatures or armies guarding The Temples...and guarding You...and truth be told...if there's anyone...that can figure out a way off of this...entirely revolting planet for all of us...it's him...


(Chaos Supreme gently takes The Menace by the arm...and helps him to the seat that Godsend had previously sat at...The Menace sits both motionless and emotionless...in silence...slightly drooling...but obviously in deep unblinking thoughts):


Godsend (to all) - And as to Vallah...well...let me...worry about him...and his people...Mr. Cox?...

Charlie Cox (to Godsend) - Yes?...

Godsend (to Cox) - And to all of you're...esteemed colleagues...I know that you are personally booking all of the bouts...and running the fed...and doing a stellar job at it...might I add...but...considering...all the factions and tribalism...hostilities brewing everywhere...and also considering how much...sway...the future champions will have with the, (agreed upon by the majority of The 20 million Vast), political balance on Merapis...I can help...I would like...to volunteer my help to you...

Charlie Cox (to Godsend) - How...Exactly?...

Godsend (to Cox but also to all) - Make me...the first official...and..permanent commissioner...this way...I can help The Upper Eschelon...keep all of your...and hopefully...and most respectfully I pray...all of...OUR...interests here...safe...


(Many contemplative looks...are shared between the 12 members of The Upper Eschelon...):


Godsend (then continuing to all) - No matter whom...the champions are...or will be...just please...I humbly ask you all...to consider these suggestions...and what they will accomplish...there's way...way too many factions out there...forming as we speak...thanks of course to...Vallah...on behalf of my friends here...and myself...we would be honored...and proud to be able to...henceforth sit...at you're...prestigeous table...


Edict From The Upper Eschelon of The Vast:


1.  Effective Immediately...And Regardless of Whether or Not The Inaugural...or Any Subsequent Champions...Approve or Not...Godsend...will henceforth be...the first official and permanent Commissioner...of Merapis Professional Wrestling...We Can All Attest...He Has...Truly Changed...And He Now Has Our Best Interests...At Heart...



More Developments On Merapis
From The End of Card 17 - Through Card No - 21


Ten Thousand Fists:


(Standing inside the darkened...but fully moonlit Merapis Amphitheatre...are about 10,000 members of The Lower Eschelon of The Vast...they are not happy...they were originally there to discuss an agends...but it waa never really able to get off the ground...and then it took a scary turn for the worst...however...what in fact wound up saving lives...and restoring order...came from a most unlikely...and most unexpected source...):

(The following is a smattering of these thousands of voices In attendance this night...some of which eventually get their hands on the microphones inside ring...)


"Order...Order...We Must...Have Order!"

"There is no order..."

"Order...Order...You Must...Blow Yourself!"...

"We all have to get this together...we all need to work together...otherwise we'll always be under their thumbs!...

"It's a lost cause...they were too slick for us...too power hungry"...

"Man...Look At How Many of The Others Outside...Are Trying To Get... In Here!"...It wasn't built for that many...

"All We Have To Do Here People...And...Things...Are...Work Together And Overpower Them"...

"That's off the table now Einstein!...You Saw That Gigantic Monster Sitting Outside The Opening To The Temples"...

"Do you think it's real?...

"Creeps me out...it rarely moves...but it always...watches....everything...man"...

"Looks like ur Mother"...

"I know...but we all still need to focus here"...

"All of You Have To Understand...When the champions are all crowned...they will bring order to Merapis"...

"Yes they...and the Champions supporters would hereby be elected...via the wrestlers prowess...and cunning...and will be acting as his governmental staff"...

"Or Hers!"...

"If Aethrans organized this...then WE...would have everything taken care of"...

"Yeah I'm Sure You Would!"...

"What's That Supposed To Mean Titan!?!...

"Everybody Calm Down!...Damn it"...I've Had Enough of This!...EVERYBODY LOVE EACH OTHER!!!...


(Then it seemed that all at once...the Amphitheater broke out into several small riots...multiple hurt...multiple people injured...but thankfully...before they could organize and go to far...they failed to notice the streams of other beings leaping adroitly into the crowd...not to take over but to try to keep The Vast from killing eachother...to try to help...):


"Enough Of This!...Take It From All of Us!...All of This Infighting...Gets You Nowhere...and Costs too Mich to Too Many...Too Many Innocents!...

"Lay Down Your Hostitilities...And Listen!...

"Look Out It's Those...Things!...Run!"...

"I Hate Them!...Let's All Get Them Instead!"...

"No...All of You Have To Go First...Then Those Lizards"...

"Stop It All Of You!...That's Just Want They... Want You...To Think!...They Wan't You All To Self Destruct...Us Too...And Wipe Each Other Out...All For Their Own Convenience"...

"Who?"...

"The Upper Eschelon"...

"And Godsend's Marquee"...

"There Are Far...Better Ways...And Alternatives"...

"Why Should We Believe You!?!"...

"What Choices...Do You Have?"...We didn't come here tonight with hostilites...or war-like aims...wer'e here to save you from your own worst enemies...yourselves...and...to form...An Alliance...WE...all of you and all of us...are in the same boat!...

"As are everyone outside...who are trying to also get in here...we have to start communicating with...EVERYONE...who we're wrongfully imprisoned here"...

"The Scattered Will Never Trust Anyone"...

"Where's Vallah?...He'll Know What To Do!...

"Says Who?...How Can You Trust Him"...He's The Worst One Here!...

"He...and The Council...Haven't Been Seen...For Several Hours"...

"It Was Probably These Friggin Lizard Creatures!"...

"WE!...Are Trying To Find Him Just as much as you are!...We All Need Him Now!...Now More Than Ever!!"...

"We Must Organize Search Parties!...If You Won't Listen To Us!...Then Can All Of Us Get Behind Finding Vallah!...He's Just As Much A Victim of This Imperfect Storm...As Anyone!"...

"Why Do You And You're Kind Even Care About Vallah?"...

"Because He Will Be The One That Can Eventually Undo What Godsend Started!...Not Only Have All of You're Lives Been Disrupted!...But So Have Ours!"...

"Let's Hear Them Out"...

"And We Have Seen First Hand...What The Horrors of Civil War Truly Are...And for far...too long"...

"Orrus Is Right!...And The Only Honorable Way...For Any of Us...To Settle Any Differences...or Conflicts...Is Inside...The Ring...Inside...This!...Ring!"...

"My Brother Tarval Speaks The Truth...And We Must...Make Sure that...Vallah...And The Council...Are Ok!"...

"More Like...Safe...Then O.K."...

"I Can't Speak For Everyone Here...But Some of Us...Are With You"...

"We must try talking to everyone else...even The Scattered"...

"The only way this Alliance can take hold...is if we can convince everyone...of our collective intentions"...

"The Scattered are lost causes"...

"We...have...to try!"...


What's In A Word:


(As the scene within the ampitheatre starts to calm down...and members of The Lower Eschelon of The Vast start to try and reason with one another...a quick sidebar conversation occurs...between two of the voices above...):


Tarval The Trapper - You told them that if we can convince everyone of our...True...Intentions!...

Orrus The Unstoppable - No...I told them our...Collec-tive...intentions...

Tarval The Trapper (now catching Orrus"s drift) - Slippery...Well Done...what's next?...

Orrus The Unstoppable - Considering some of the altercations on the last few cards...we speak with...the fed booker Cox...and our..."commissioner"...Godsend...that the fed needs to use The Merapi...as the feds heightened security force...

Tarval The Trapper - There are many changes coming from The Upper Eschelon...

Orrus The Unstoppable - Yes...and our play is to stay as far ahead of them...as we can...and stick to our plan...


Multiple Edicts From The Upper Eschelon & The Marquee:


1.  Effective Immediately...if champions wind up holding multiple championships simultaneously...they will therefore...hold more power and sway...on a governmental basis...i.e. one individual vote per governor per title held...on any governing issue...brought before them by...their fans...

2.  Due to public interest...but NOT...due to public demand...the following two singles championships...have hereby been sanctioned...Merapis Light Heavyweight Championship and Merapis Super Heavyweight Championship...

3.  Once again due to public interest only...NOT...to public demand...because...WE NEVER CAVE...The inaugural championship matches will indeed begin upon upcoming Card Number 22...The first championship crowned will be...The Merapis Super Heavyweight Championship...

4.  Starting Card 22...Until Further Notice...There Will Be A Pre-Announced Match Schedule...posted prior to each of our increasingly consequential...Merapis Professional Wrestling Competitions...

4.  The Government of Merapis Shall Now Officially Consist of Any...And All...of The Currently...Crowned Champions...The Upper Eschelon Will Still of Course Be Running The Booking And The Commissioner-ing of The Fed...And of Course Will NEVER Be Moving Out...Or Driven Out...of The Temples...Regardless of Any Invading or Governmental Force/s...DO NOT TEST US!...

6.  Ohh...and effective immediately...a 2,000 credit reward...will be offered for any...and all information...with regards to Vallah's possible... whereabouts...
