Kerry Windsor and Chelsea Pryce are seen in the parking lot area, making their way towards the arena. Chelsea walks by his side, with her arms wrapped around his, a beaming smile on her face. Kerry, however, doesn’t look as happy. Gone is his usual arrogant smile, and instead his face is masked in a worried scowl. Chelsea tugs on his arm, causing him to look down at her.
Chelsea Pryce: Come on Kerry, everything is going to be alright.
Chelsea tries to be reassuring and optimistic, but her attempts are in vain. Kerry shakes his head at her.
Kerry Windsor: That’s easy for you to say Chels, they aren’t after you.
He glances around nervously. She sighs.
Chelsea Pryce: You need to be focused, Kerry. Tonight is about survival, remember? Just make it through the night, and then Glory is yours.
She looks to the left for a moment before she shakes her head and reaches into her purse. A sigh emits from her parted lips seconds later.
Chelsea Pryce: I forgot something in the car. Go on ahead of me; I’ll catch up later.
Releasing Kerry’s arm, she makes a complete 180 turn and heads back in the direction of their vehicle. Kerry watches her as she walks away, admiring her rear end for a quick second before continuing on. He adjusts his duffel bag, and seems to be lost in his thoughts, when all of a sudden, the sound of an engine gunning in the distance can be heard. Kerry gazes to his right, trying to trace the source of the sound.
A pair of high beams flash brightly into his face, causing him to instinctively stop and shield his eyes. The car then speeds forward, picking up speed as it barrels towards Kerry. Frozen in place, it seems as if the worst is about to happen, but Kerry regains his senses and dives out of the way just in the nick of time, as a muscle car speeds by. Kerry rolls on the asphalt, stopping on his stomach and glances up, just to see the tail lights of the car as it rounds a curve. Chelsea Pryce comes running back into the picture seconds later.
Chelsea Pryce: OH MY GOD, KERRY ARE YOU ALRIGHT!
She kneels down next to Kerry and helps him to a kneeling position. He doesn’t say a word, he just continues to look on in the direction that the car disappeared into, his face contorted with rage. The scene slowly fades out.
A bass line begins over the PA system as the lights dim within the arena, the crowd all standing from their seats with a massive ovation. Drums kick in over the bass, with then a couple of guitar strums joining in. A small shred on the guitar begins before lyrics.
"Enemies" by Shinedown continues to play over the system as videos of all Revival's talented roster continues to play over the tron screen. The camera cuts to the announce booth where Richie Trinks is wearing a horribly bright yellow tuxedo, complete with a bright yellow tie. Everybody's favorite emo-goth-punk chick, Maggie Mayhem, is dressed as usual, in her dark black punk garb with adorable little animal skulls.
Trinks begins a chant all of his own as the show opens. He bangs his fists against the announce table as he does.
Richie Trinks: REVIVAL! REVIVAL! REVIVAL!!
Mayhem: Hello Revival! Welcome to unLucky number thirteen broadcast of Violence! We have so much going to tonight, Trinks! We have That brutal Main Event where the Viper himself has given Myke Adams an ultimatum. Either he picks him and “Change” or he picks his heart, Sydney LaRoux.
Trinks: Love is overrated Margret.
Mayhem: Either way, it is sure to be something to watch.
Trinks:Don’t forget we have the Tag-Team bout with my little slice of WOW heaven come to life, Alyx!
Mayhem: She teams up with Aimes to go head to head with Samuel Hessingstock and The British Bomber. We are gearing up for an explosive night ladies and gentleman.
Mayhem and Trinks are cut short as a wandering cameraman searches for something exciting backstage. Before he is able to turn the corner, the camera whips around and catches a young, petite blonde-haired lady.
? ? ?: Awrite! Dinnae mean tae intrude, but ah figured ah’d introduce mahself. Mah name is Breanne Cayden, the Scottish Empath! An’ right behind ya is...
The cameraman turns the camera and puts a very tall, well toned young man with soft brown hair in view.
? ? ?: ...Brandon Cohen, the Vagrant Gamer, at your service. Hello Revival fans!
He grins and waves at the camera. He moves over behind Breanne, leans down a little and rests his chin on the top of her head.
Brandon Cohen: And together, we are known as Double Forte, the newest tag team to hit the professional wrestling industry.
Breanne Cayden: Aye! Revival Wrestlin’, yer in fir quite a treat! Ah’m ready tae give it mah all!
To emphasize this, she shivers. He chuckles and wraps his arms around her, holding her close to him.
Brandon Cohen: And I’ll be right there with you, Bre. I’m your tag-team partner and your manager, but most important of all, I’m your best friend. Forever.
She looks over her shoulder at him and gives him a bright smile. Tapping on his arms, she pulls away after he lets go, turns to him and the two engage in a cool-looking secret handshake. They both face the camera and grin.
Breanne and Brandon: Heads up; get fierce!
As the camera fades from this scene, we return to Maggie and Richie.
Trinks: Hey, can I get in on that hot Scottish blonde babe? I’ll be more than willing to get fierce with her!
Mayhem: Quit while you’re ahead, Richie. <ahem> I think Double Forte are going to make a good impact in Revival Wrestling.
Trinks: Did you see how cute Breanne looked in her kilt?
Mayhem: To be honest, I was kinda paying more attention to Brandon.
Trinks: Yeah, he’s good-looking... <cough> I mean what?
Mayhem: ...Nevermind. Let’s go to Stan with our first match of the night, Trinks.
Stan Hopeforth: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...
The arena’s lights suddenly go out and the audience stands in anticipation. Chelsea Pryce’s voice softly echoes throughout for several seconds.
That’s when “In For The Kill” by La Roux plays from the PA system. At the fourteen second mark, a soft yet bright purple spotlight shines on the entrance stage and Chelsea steps out to spiritually embrace it. At this point, majority of the fans are cheering for her as she taps her foot and nods her head to the beat of the song. Suddenly, the spotlight itself flashes on and off to the beat. She smirks and strides down the ramp, reaching over on occasion to tag a few hands. She takes her time, careful not to miss a beat, and she offers a couple of poses for photographic moments.
Stan Hopeforth: Residing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 135lbs, she is “Natural Superiority” CHELSEAAAAAAA PRYCE!
Near the end of the ramp, Chelsea pushes several strands of her blonde hair back with a hand before she pulls the purple fingerless glove down with her other hand. Focused, she leaps onto the ring apron, looks around and absorbs the reaction of the crowd. This only lasts for a moment before she turns so her back is facing the ring and flips over, landing on her feet with the greatest of ease. She releases the top rope and swiftly moves to the middle of the ring, spinning slowly to get a better look at everyone in attendance. As a traditionalist, she clenches her right fist, holds it up above her head and allows purple pyro to shoot off thrice from the four corners of the ring.
Chelsea begins to relieve herself of her purple blazer and her black with a silver stripe fedora hat. Once they are set aside, she punches her right fist into the open palm of her left hand, ready to go.
Mayhem: I’ve noticed that Chelsea’s been off her game as of late.
Trinks: Well she said it herself; she’s lost three matches in a row. I bet tonight’s going to be loss number four.
Mayhem: That may be the case, but she might be able to get the win.
Trinks: Not against her next opponent, this man!
Stan Hopeforth: And her opponent...
The arena dims to near pitch-black levels. After a brief moment of silence, Innerpartysystem's "Don't Stop" blares over the announce system. All eyes are on the entrance area, the only light from the video above. A shower of golden sparks drop to the ground as a very arrogant and very assured Thaddeus Grey makes his way out! As the golden-shower fades away, the arena is lit in a yellow hue. Walking to the ring to a chorus of boos, "Mr. One Night Stand" is nothing but confidence, the smirk on his face serving as the perfect example of such a statement. As he reaches the ring, the fans really let him have it, the boos turning to jeers and insults, but Grey pays them no attention.
Stan Hopeforth: From San Diego, California, weighing in at 200lbs, he is “Mr. One Night Stand” THADDEUS GREYYYYYY!
Methodically, he walks up the stairs, staring into the eyes of his opponent. As he's halfway across the apron, he wipes his feet before stepping into the ring. After a brief pause, he stands in the center, basking in the negative reaction the capacity crowd is giving him. A slight smile forms in the corner of his mouth, as the lights return to normal. Grey turns to his corner and quickly does a few stretches, awaiting the referee to call for the bell.
Trinks: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Thaddeus Grey!
Mayhem: This is his first match in Revival Wrestling. Let’s see if he has what it takes to be here.
Trinks: Of course he has what it takes to be here! He’s Mr. One Night Stand! Chelsea should just lay down and let him win. Who knows? She might get some action right after that!
Mayhem: I don’t think she wants anything to do with him in that manner...
The bell rings and the match is underway. Pryce relies on swiftness and speed while Grey leans towards aggression and power. He attempts to grapple with her, but she she gives him a quick kick to the knees and forces him to release her. Another quick kick to the knees causes him to stagger, then she goes for a kick to the chest. Unfortunately for her, Grey catches her ankle and attempts to throw her over. Pryce is able to flip in midair and land on her feet, then she runs and launches at him with a forearm smash. Not only does Grey block this, but he counters with a harsh elbow to her face and this forces her to stumble. She can’t quite recover fast enough as he lands a heavy blow to her head, and another, then one more with authority as she falls down to one knee. Grey smirks and forces Pryce to stand, doubling her over with a kick to the midsection before making her go down with a jumping faceplant!
Mayhem: This could be it for Chelsea!
Trinks: Over before it even starts! Haha!
1...
2...!
Pryce kicks out at 2! Grey is a little disappointed by this, but he shakes it off and gets up with her. He delivers a blow to her gut, turns and rebounds against the ropes-- only for her to nail him with a backflip kick to the side of his temple!
Trinks: Where the hell did that come from?!
Mayhem: Nice move by Ms. Pryce! Can she capitalize?
Pryce covers Grey with the hook of a leg and the referee goes for the count. Before he reaches 2, Grey kicks out with authority! Both he and Pryce are on their feet at about the same time and he thumbs her in the eye. The fans are booing as the referee tries to argue with Grey, but Mr. One Night Stand doesn’t listen as he immediately throws Pryce shoulder first into the turnbuckle! Pryce grimaces in pain as she slowly pulls away, but Grey is there to grab her and twist her right into a swinging neckbreaker! She falls down on her back and looks dazed.
Mayhem: I don’t think Chelsea realizes where she is!
Trinks: Get her, Thaddeus! 1, 2, 3!
Grey goes for the pinfall and the referee starts the count. 1... 2... Pryce kicks out before the 3! Grey shakes his head as he pulls her up and launches her straight into the opposite turnbuckles, driving her shoulder first against the post like last time! The fans are trying to cheer Pryce on as she slumps down, falls back and clutches her right shoulder. Grey sees this, makes his way over to her and paintbrushes the back of her head. Pulling her up, he grabs her right arm, stretches it across his chest and smashes her down on the mat face first; thus, insuring an armbar takedown. Pryce grits her teeth and hisses in agony instead of yells, then she’s turned over so Grey can go for the pin attempt.
1...
2...
No! Pryce somehow kicks out! Unamused, Grey shakes his head and gets onto his feet, dragging her up with him. He attempts to launch her towards a third set of the turnbuckles, but this time she halts it and reverses--
Mayhem: Joker’s Reversal!
Trinks: What the hell?! This isn’t supposed to be happening!
Mayhem: Here’s the pin attempt by Chelsea!
Grey still has too much energy in him, kicking out right after 2! Pryce is slow to get on her feet, but she manages it and Grey is right after her.
Grey takes no time in grabbing the back of Pryce’s neck and he throws her down onto the mat. The fans are booing as he grabs her by the hair now, dragging her to one of the corners of the ring. She tries to retaliate and manages to get a kick to his chest, but he counters with harsh stomps all over her body, ceasing her defenses. Grey spits on Pryce’s face before he hauls her onto her feet, doubles her over with a kick and drives her down with an implant DDT! However, he quickly shifts and forces her into the Grey Matter!
Trinks: It’s over, Chels! Just tap out!
Mayhem: She’s in the middle of nowhere...
Trinks: Aha! She’s tapping!
The referee rings the bell.
Stan Hopeforth: Here is your winner, “Mr. One Night Stand” THADDEUS GREYYYYY!
“Don’t Stop” by Innerpartysystem plays from the PA system and Grey eventually lets go of Pryce. He stands on his feet with a leer on his face and shoves the referee aside so he alone can embrace the boos from the crowd.
Cameras take us backstage where Sullivan Aimes leads the way for Politically Incorrect(Theodore Drake & L.J.). They pass numerous doors while striding through the hallway. They mean business while all sporting their Anti-Anti-Establishment/Anti-Resistance t-shirts.
Trinks: And there's the biggest crybaby in the industry. I swear that boy should've been breast fed his whole life.
Jessica King catches up to Politically Incorrect and shoves a microphone in Sullivan's face.
King: Sullivan, Sullivan, what do you have to say for yourself after attacking Commissioner Valiant last week?
They all stop in unison and Sullivan glares a Jessica a minute without responding. L.J. steps up and decks Jessica King with a right hook. Jessica King drops in the middle of the hallway and other event crew members rush over to her aid.
Mayhem: That's uncalled for!
Trinks: Jessica King just got her lights punched out.
Sullivan steps over a fallen Jessica King and L.J. and Drake follow his lead. Cameras cut to ringside.
Mayhem: What in the blueberry hill is wrong with Sullivan Aimes? He attacked Valiant Last week and now, poor Jessica!
Trinks: Wanna know why Jessica will wake up with two black eyes, Magpie? Sullivan Aimes ladyfriend just told her TWICE!!!
Mayhem: You think you are hysterical don’t you?
Trinks: You bet your sweet ass I do!
We head backstage from the witty banter to the locker room of “The Knightmare” Tyler Knight he’s getting set for his match up against Darius Jensen. Kaori is present in the locker room too as she is massaging the shoulder of Tyler to help him loosen up for his match. Tyler is in his black wrestling boots, they have buckles to do them up looking rather Goth like. He also has black MMA style shorts on that have different horror film bad guys on but the thing that is more relevant to him is Freddy Krugers blades. Also he has black knee pads and black fingerless gloves to finish his look off.
Tyler Knight: “You know Kaori, tonight I'm going out there a happy man. Darius is going to be thinking that this week that it's my weakness but for once it's one of my strengths. You don't realise how happy you've made me and I dedicate this match to you. I'm going out there to get the win for you, to make Jensen cry out in pain for your satisfaction.”
Kaori is dressed in an evening oriental dress. Even in a dress, her belly exposes a little bit due to the unborn baby she is carrying. Despite that she is helping Tyler warm up for his match against Darius Jensen, being back here gave her bad vibes.
Kaori Shikagami: "Hai, I'm looking forward to your victory."
She smiles weakly before placing a hand on to her stomach. Turning around to face her Tyler place his hand on her stomach too. He rub her stomach as he took Kaori's other hand with his other hand place a kiss on her hand.
Tyler Knight: “You and little one have really started to make me realise that maybe I can be happy for once. Also I'm glad we agreed on Sydney LaRoux being our babies Godmother. She will do an awesome job, now to figured out who to be Godfather. Any way where would you like to go to celebrate my victory? Some where you can get food after all you got to keep your strength up for little ones sake as well.”
Now taking his hand from her stomach Tyler got to his feet walking over to his locker. He grabbed the photo of his mother, it was an old photo from 16 or 17 years ago. He kissed the photo before walking back over to Kaori with it.
Tyler Knight: “This photo here is of my mother and of your grandma little one. Kaori treasure this photo because I want you to look after it for me. After all I don't want no one thinking they can just walk in here and take it. This picture goes with me every where since it's the only picture I have of my mother and only thing of hers.”
He lowered his head looking away from Kaori, he wiped away the few tears that streamed down his face. Turning back to Kaori he hoped she didn't notice he had wiped away those tears. Now passing her the photo of his mother he started stretching for his match.
Kaori looks down at the photo of Tyler's mother and closes her eyes for a moment. Keeping the photo close to her, she was thinking back for a moment when her own mother passed from radiation poisoning.
Kaori Shikagami: "... Oka-san..."
Literally about to cry once that thought came into mind. She opens her eyes and looks over at Tyler, trying to keep a straight face.
Kaori Shikagami: "I will treasure this, Tyler-sama. I'll treasure it with my life."
Noticing she was about to cry Tyler pulled her gentle towards him hugging her. He held her in his muscular arms knowing she would feel safe.
Tyler Knight: “Kaori I'm sorry to upset you, I know we talked about your mother too. Let's promise each other now that what ever it takes we will make them both proud of us.”
Using his thumbs to wipe the tears that had formed in her eyes he stared straight in to them seeing all the hurt she had experienced.
Tyler Knight: “I can see that you experienced as much hurt in your life as I have and I promise you this now I'll do whatever it take to make you happy. You and our unborn child are what matter most to me now. Any way it's time to focus on our future and first of all me beaten this punk Darius Jensen. If you could please babe, could you go out to the refreshments table and grab me a couple of bottles of water?”
Kaori smiles a little bit.
Kaori Shikagami: "Okay, I'll be right back."
With that being said, she gives him a kiss before exiting the locker room to go fetch Tyler a couple of bottles of water.
Mayhem:Just when I thought those two couldn’t get any more weird! Please, take us back to sanity Hopeforth!
Stan Hopeforth: The following contest is scheduled for one fall... Heading to the ring first, from Norway... HE... IS... DAAARIOUSSSS JEEEEENNNSONNNN!!!
The arena lights shut off, so that there is only complete darkness. Suddenly a red light flickers and projects a pentagram in the middle of the ring. A woman’s scream is heard somewhere in the arena and “King” by Satyricon begins to play. A single fireball erupts and quickly dissipates on the stage and ‘The Messenger of Hell’ himself, Darius Jensen, walks out into the arena, visible only through spotlight, meeting a chorus of cheers, jeers, and generally chaotic crowd reaction.
Trinks: This guy is truly... just wrong.
Mayhem: You mean there seems to be something wrong with him, right Richie?
Trinks: No. I seriously mean he's a few fries short of the Happy Meal!
He runs his hands over his finely-groomed hair, wearing only plain black leather pants and black wrestling boots. Slowly, he walks down the ramp – grinning in the most sinister manner, his eyes bloodshot. Jensen stops in front of the ring, tilts his head to crack his neck, then climbs up onto the apron and into the ring. He stops in the middle of the pentagram and looks straight up, soaking in the red light emanating from the ceiling. He spreads his arms out and his eyes roll back into his skull. The arena once again becomes pitch black and the music fades. When the lights return to normal, Jensen is crouched up in his corner, clutching a black inverted cross draped around his neck.
Stan Hopeforth: And his opposition... hailing from California. Let's hear it for THE KNIGHTMARE... TYYYYYYLER KNIIIIIIIGGGGHT!!!
“Nightmare” by Avenged Sevenfold surrounds the arena as the crowd erupts into a chorus of boos. As the music kicks in the stage fills up with smoke, “The Knightmare” Tyler Knight walks out from the smoke. Tyler has a very sickening smirk from ear to ear as he laps up the boos from the crowd. Tyler stands at the top of the ramp with his head held high as if he is better then anyone else, Tyler believes that the fans are no better then the dirt on his shoes. Now making his way down the ramp still with the same sickening smirk, Tyler ignores some of the crowd but reacts with swearing at them verbally as well as sticking his middle finger up at him on each hand. Now at the ring Tyler walks up the steel steps entering the ring through the middle and top rope. Now in the ring, Tyler confidentially strolls to the turnbuckle and jumps up on it, Tyler holds out his arms in a Jesus pose as he believes his even better than Jesus. After a few seconds of lapping up the abuse and boos from the crowd Tyler jumps down and gets ready as his music fades out. He flips off Jenson, who returns the gesture with a shrug... And a sneer.
Trinks: Time to rumble! Wake me when it's over...
Mayhem: What?
DING! DING!
Trinks: This should be pretty uneventful. Wake me when some real stars are shining tonight!
Mayhem: Um, begging to differ here. Both Knight and Jenson are uber talents. I'd show some respect or maybe I'll go on up there and let em both know what ya just said.
Trinks: Hey now! No reason for threats... Fine, let the thrilling contest of a Devil's nightmare continue!
Mayhem: A what?!
Trinks: Hush Magpie. Let us watch ability personified...
Trinks laughs, we hear Mayhem simply sigh as the match finally gets some action. Jenson and Knight tie up and start looking to take the advantage over the other. Jenson uses his savvy technical skills and quickly lands a knee shot to Knight. He then twist Tyler's wrist, Knight slapping at his shoulder and grimacing in agony as Jenson moves him around the ring in a small circle whilst twisting on the wrist. Darius then strikes with speed, yanking on the wrist and tugging Knight into him only to land a nasty back elbow with a huge SMACK across Knight's face! Tyler staggers and clutches his face, Jenson waste not a breath now... He comes back in and snatches up Knight's head. Wrenching on a side headlock, Jenson's teeth clinched tightly as he sneers out at the crowd and stomps around the ring with Knight's head under his arm. Tyler is fighting, his arms flail as he attempts to break free!
Mayhem: That's a vile headlock. Tyler Knight better get himself some space in there!
Trinks: Jenson is a demon, a creature of the fiery pits in Hell. He's relentless, and vicious!
Mayhem: Is that so?
Trinks: Yup. It sounded good atleast...
Knight gets the ropes now, and Jenson refuses to break the headlock. The ref starts a DQ count and nearly counts to the DQ, but at the last second... Darius lets go. Tyler gags and staggers forward, but Jenson is quick and comes back in for more. He snatches up Tyler and looks for a Russian Leg Sweep... The crowd getting loud as Tyler blocks it however. Knight throws two elbows shots into Jenson now and then lands a crushing and swift reversed Russian Leg Sweep onto Jenson! Darius lands hard face first over the mat and flails and flops a bit himself. Tyler is on one knee now, he sneers in anger as he quickly stands and shakes off the headlock. Darius scrambling up only to get plowed back down!!!
Mayhem: Oh! Brutal spinning roundhouse kick from Knight to Jenson! That had to ring some bells in Darius' head!
Trinks: It was nasty!
Darius falls to a knee, clutching his head in pain. Tyler is back in the fight now, nearly seeming to growl as he throws a heavy right hand flush in Jenson's face! This staggers Darius back to his feet, Tyler snags his wrist and slings Jenson around and into the ropes with force. Darius rebounds out and is hammered down over the canvas with a completely wild Busaiku Knee Kick!!!
Mayhem: GOOD KNIGHT!
Trinks: That was a stunner, straight out of nowhere!
Mayhem: Tyler Knight may have just made quick work of Jenson here tonight folks!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
Stan Hopeforth: And your winner... THE KNIGHTMARE... TYYYYLER KNIIIIIIIIGGGGGGHTTTT!!!
Mayhem: That was quick, Tyler Knight with an impressively quick victory here tonight folks!
Trinks: As much as it pains me, this guy can go. Wonder how long before he gets himself into a title scene here at Revival!
Mayhem: Um he just wrestled Ethan Teller last Violence for the Primetime title.
Trinks: Yeah, yeah. I wanna see how hard he'll bring it against Adams or LaRoux!
Mayhem: You also don't want Adams as champ... I'm pretty sure you'd love for anyone to beat him and take it!
Trinks laughs here, in the ring Jenson sits up in shock. Touching at his jaw, and glaring through the ropes at Tyler Knight. Tyler all smirks now as he backs up the aisle and holds a victorious 'devil horns' high over his head with his right arm.
Trinks: You're pretty much right for a change Magpie.
Mayhem: For a change?!
Trinks: Okay... You're always right... Jeebus!
Chelsea Pryce: Come on Kerry, everything is going to be alright.
Chelsea tries to be reassuring and optimistic, but her attempts are in vain. Kerry shakes his head at her.
Kerry Windsor: That’s easy for you to say Chels, they aren’t after you.
He glances around nervously. She sighs.
Chelsea Pryce: You need to be focused, Kerry. Tonight is about survival, remember? Just make it through the night, and then Glory is yours.
She looks to the left for a moment before she shakes her head and reaches into her purse. A sigh emits from her parted lips seconds later.
Chelsea Pryce: I forgot something in the car. Go on ahead of me; I’ll catch up later.
Releasing Kerry’s arm, she makes a complete 180 turn and heads back in the direction of their vehicle. Kerry watches her as she walks away, admiring her rear end for a quick second before continuing on. He adjusts his duffel bag, and seems to be lost in his thoughts, when all of a sudden, the sound of an engine gunning in the distance can be heard. Kerry gazes to his right, trying to trace the source of the sound.
A pair of high beams flash brightly into his face, causing him to instinctively stop and shield his eyes. The car then speeds forward, picking up speed as it barrels towards Kerry. Frozen in place, it seems as if the worst is about to happen, but Kerry regains his senses and dives out of the way just in the nick of time, as a muscle car speeds by. Kerry rolls on the asphalt, stopping on his stomach and glances up, just to see the tail lights of the car as it rounds a curve. Chelsea Pryce comes running back into the picture seconds later.
Chelsea Pryce: OH MY GOD, KERRY ARE YOU ALRIGHT!
She kneels down next to Kerry and helps him to a kneeling position. He doesn’t say a word, he just continues to look on in the direction that the car disappeared into, his face contorted with rage. The scene slowly fades out.
A bass line begins over the PA system as the lights dim within the arena, the crowd all standing from their seats with a massive ovation. Drums kick in over the bass, with then a couple of guitar strums joining in. A small shred on the guitar begins before lyrics.
Listen up, there's not a moment to spare, it's quite a drop from the top so how're you feeling down there?
It's quite a cold, cruel, harsh reality, caught stuck with your enemies.
It's quite a cold, cruel, harsh reality, caught stuck with your enemies.
"Enemies" by Shinedown continues to play over the system as videos of all Revival's talented roster continues to play over the tron screen. The camera cuts to the announce booth where Richie Trinks is wearing a horribly bright yellow tuxedo, complete with a bright yellow tie. Everybody's favorite emo-goth-punk chick, Maggie Mayhem, is dressed as usual, in her dark black punk garb with adorable little animal skulls.
Trinks begins a chant all of his own as the show opens. He bangs his fists against the announce table as he does.
Richie Trinks: REVIVAL! REVIVAL! REVIVAL!!
Mayhem: Hello Revival! Welcome to unLucky number thirteen broadcast of Violence! We have so much going to tonight, Trinks! We have That brutal Main Event where the Viper himself has given Myke Adams an ultimatum. Either he picks him and “Change” or he picks his heart, Sydney LaRoux.

He grins and waves at the camera. He moves over behind Breanne, leans down a little and rests his chin on the top of her head.
Brandon Cohen: And together, we are known as Double Forte, the newest tag team to hit the professional wrestling industry.
Breanne Cayden: Aye! Revival Wrestlin’, yer in fir quite a treat! Ah’m ready tae give it mah all!

She looks over her shoulder at him and gives him a bright smile. Tapping on his arms, she pulls away after he lets go, turns to him and the two engage in a cool-looking secret handshake. They both face the camera and grin.
Breanne and Brandon: Heads up; get fierce!
As the camera fades from this scene, we return to Maggie and Richie.
Trinks: Hey, can I get in on that hot Scottish blonde babe? I’ll be more than willing to get fierce with her!
Mayhem: Quit while you’re ahead, Richie. <ahem> I think Double Forte are going to make a good impact in Revival Wrestling.
Trinks: Did you see how cute Breanne looked in her kilt?
Mayhem: To be honest, I was kinda paying more attention to Brandon.

Stan Hopeforth: Residing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 135lbs, she is “Natural Superiority” CHELSEAAAAAAA PRYCE!
Near the end of the ramp, Chelsea pushes several strands of her blonde hair back with a hand before she pulls the purple fingerless glove down with her other hand. Focused, she leaps onto the ring apron, looks around and absorbs the reaction of the crowd. This only lasts for a moment before she turns so her back is facing the ring and flips over, landing on her feet with the greatest of ease. She releases the top rope and swiftly moves to the middle of the ring, spinning slowly to get a better look at everyone in attendance. As a traditionalist, she clenches her right fist, holds it up above her head and allows purple pyro to shoot off thrice from the four corners of the ring.
“I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand...
I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
(Oh) I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand!”
I’m doing it for a thrill
I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand...
I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
(Oh) I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand!”
Chelsea begins to relieve herself of her purple blazer and her black with a silver stripe fedora hat. Once they are set aside, she punches her right fist into the open palm of her left hand, ready to go.
Mayhem: I’ve noticed that Chelsea’s been off her game as of late.
Trinks: Well she said it herself; she’s lost three matches in a row. I bet tonight’s going to be loss number four.
Mayhem: That may be the case, but she might be able to get the win.
Trinks: Not against her next opponent, this man!
Stan Hopeforth: And her opponent...
The arena dims to near pitch-black levels. After a brief moment of silence, Innerpartysystem's "Don't Stop" blares over the announce system. All eyes are on the entrance area, the only light from the video above. A shower of golden sparks drop to the ground as a very arrogant and very assured Thaddeus Grey makes his way out! As the golden-shower fades away, the arena is lit in a yellow hue. Walking to the ring to a chorus of boos, "Mr. One Night Stand" is nothing but confidence, the smirk on his face serving as the perfect example of such a statement. As he reaches the ring, the fans really let him have it, the boos turning to jeers and insults, but Grey pays them no attention.
Stan Hopeforth: From San Diego, California, weighing in at 200lbs, he is “Mr. One Night Stand” THADDEUS GREYYYYYY!
Methodically, he walks up the stairs, staring into the eyes of his opponent. As he's halfway across the apron, he wipes his feet before stepping into the ring. After a brief pause, he stands in the center, basking in the negative reaction the capacity crowd is giving him. A slight smile forms in the corner of his mouth, as the lights return to normal. Grey turns to his corner and quickly does a few stretches, awaiting the referee to call for the bell.
Trinks: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Thaddeus Grey!
Mayhem: This is his first match in Revival Wrestling. Let’s see if he has what it takes to be here.
Trinks: Of course he has what it takes to be here! He’s Mr. One Night Stand! Chelsea should just lay down and let him win. Who knows? She might get some action right after that!
Mayhem: I don’t think she wants anything to do with him in that manner...
The bell rings and the match is underway. Pryce relies on swiftness and speed while Grey leans towards aggression and power. He attempts to grapple with her, but she she gives him a quick kick to the knees and forces him to release her. Another quick kick to the knees causes him to stagger, then she goes for a kick to the chest. Unfortunately for her, Grey catches her ankle and attempts to throw her over. Pryce is able to flip in midair and land on her feet, then she runs and launches at him with a forearm smash. Not only does Grey block this, but he counters with a harsh elbow to her face and this forces her to stumble. She can’t quite recover fast enough as he lands a heavy blow to her head, and another, then one more with authority as she falls down to one knee. Grey smirks and forces Pryce to stand, doubling her over with a kick to the midsection before making her go down with a jumping faceplant!
Mayhem: This could be it for Chelsea!
Trinks: Over before it even starts! Haha!
1...
2...!
Pryce kicks out at 2! Grey is a little disappointed by this, but he shakes it off and gets up with her. He delivers a blow to her gut, turns and rebounds against the ropes-- only for her to nail him with a backflip kick to the side of his temple!
Trinks: Where the hell did that come from?!
Mayhem: Nice move by Ms. Pryce! Can she capitalize?
Pryce covers Grey with the hook of a leg and the referee goes for the count. Before he reaches 2, Grey kicks out with authority! Both he and Pryce are on their feet at about the same time and he thumbs her in the eye. The fans are booing as the referee tries to argue with Grey, but Mr. One Night Stand doesn’t listen as he immediately throws Pryce shoulder first into the turnbuckle! Pryce grimaces in pain as she slowly pulls away, but Grey is there to grab her and twist her right into a swinging neckbreaker! She falls down on her back and looks dazed.
Mayhem: I don’t think Chelsea realizes where she is!
Trinks: Get her, Thaddeus! 1, 2, 3!
Grey goes for the pinfall and the referee starts the count. 1... 2... Pryce kicks out before the 3! Grey shakes his head as he pulls her up and launches her straight into the opposite turnbuckles, driving her shoulder first against the post like last time! The fans are trying to cheer Pryce on as she slumps down, falls back and clutches her right shoulder. Grey sees this, makes his way over to her and paintbrushes the back of her head. Pulling her up, he grabs her right arm, stretches it across his chest and smashes her down on the mat face first; thus, insuring an armbar takedown. Pryce grits her teeth and hisses in agony instead of yells, then she’s turned over so Grey can go for the pin attempt.
1...
2...
No! Pryce somehow kicks out! Unamused, Grey shakes his head and gets onto his feet, dragging her up with him. He attempts to launch her towards a third set of the turnbuckles, but this time she halts it and reverses--
Mayhem: Joker’s Reversal!
Trinks: What the hell?! This isn’t supposed to be happening!
Mayhem: Here’s the pin attempt by Chelsea!
Grey still has too much energy in him, kicking out right after 2! Pryce is slow to get on her feet, but she manages it and Grey is right after her.
Grey takes no time in grabbing the back of Pryce’s neck and he throws her down onto the mat. The fans are booing as he grabs her by the hair now, dragging her to one of the corners of the ring. She tries to retaliate and manages to get a kick to his chest, but he counters with harsh stomps all over her body, ceasing her defenses. Grey spits on Pryce’s face before he hauls her onto her feet, doubles her over with a kick and drives her down with an implant DDT! However, he quickly shifts and forces her into the Grey Matter!
Trinks: It’s over, Chels! Just tap out!
Mayhem: She’s in the middle of nowhere...
Trinks: Aha! She’s tapping!
The referee rings the bell.
Stan Hopeforth: Here is your winner, “Mr. One Night Stand” THADDEUS GREYYYYY!
“Don’t Stop” by Innerpartysystem plays from the PA system and Grey eventually lets go of Pryce. He stands on his feet with a leer on his face and shoves the referee aside so he alone can embrace the boos from the crowd.
Cameras take us backstage where Sullivan Aimes leads the way for Politically Incorrect(Theodore Drake & L.J.). They pass numerous doors while striding through the hallway. They mean business while all sporting their Anti-Anti-Establishment/Anti-Resistance t-shirts.
Trinks: And there's the biggest crybaby in the industry. I swear that boy should've been breast fed his whole life.
Jessica King catches up to Politically Incorrect and shoves a microphone in Sullivan's face.
King: Sullivan, Sullivan, what do you have to say for yourself after attacking Commissioner Valiant last week?
They all stop in unison and Sullivan glares a Jessica a minute without responding. L.J. steps up and decks Jessica King with a right hook. Jessica King drops in the middle of the hallway and other event crew members rush over to her aid.
Mayhem: That's uncalled for!
Trinks: Jessica King just got her lights punched out.
Sullivan steps over a fallen Jessica King and L.J. and Drake follow his lead. Cameras cut to ringside.
Mayhem: What in the blueberry hill is wrong with Sullivan Aimes? He attacked Valiant Last week and now, poor Jessica!
Trinks: Wanna know why Jessica will wake up with two black eyes, Magpie? Sullivan Aimes ladyfriend just told her TWICE!!!
Mayhem: You think you are hysterical don’t you?
Trinks: You bet your sweet ass I do!
We head backstage from the witty banter to the locker room of “The Knightmare” Tyler Knight he’s getting set for his match up against Darius Jensen. Kaori is present in the locker room too as she is massaging the shoulder of Tyler to help him loosen up for his match. Tyler is in his black wrestling boots, they have buckles to do them up looking rather Goth like. He also has black MMA style shorts on that have different horror film bad guys on but the thing that is more relevant to him is Freddy Krugers blades. Also he has black knee pads and black fingerless gloves to finish his look off.
Tyler Knight: “You know Kaori, tonight I'm going out there a happy man. Darius is going to be thinking that this week that it's my weakness but for once it's one of my strengths. You don't realise how happy you've made me and I dedicate this match to you. I'm going out there to get the win for you, to make Jensen cry out in pain for your satisfaction.”
Kaori is dressed in an evening oriental dress. Even in a dress, her belly exposes a little bit due to the unborn baby she is carrying. Despite that she is helping Tyler warm up for his match against Darius Jensen, being back here gave her bad vibes.
Kaori Shikagami: "Hai, I'm looking forward to your victory."
She smiles weakly before placing a hand on to her stomach. Turning around to face her Tyler place his hand on her stomach too. He rub her stomach as he took Kaori's other hand with his other hand place a kiss on her hand.
Tyler Knight: “You and little one have really started to make me realise that maybe I can be happy for once. Also I'm glad we agreed on Sydney LaRoux being our babies Godmother. She will do an awesome job, now to figured out who to be Godfather. Any way where would you like to go to celebrate my victory? Some where you can get food after all you got to keep your strength up for little ones sake as well.”
Now taking his hand from her stomach Tyler got to his feet walking over to his locker. He grabbed the photo of his mother, it was an old photo from 16 or 17 years ago. He kissed the photo before walking back over to Kaori with it.
Tyler Knight: “This photo here is of my mother and of your grandma little one. Kaori treasure this photo because I want you to look after it for me. After all I don't want no one thinking they can just walk in here and take it. This picture goes with me every where since it's the only picture I have of my mother and only thing of hers.”
He lowered his head looking away from Kaori, he wiped away the few tears that streamed down his face. Turning back to Kaori he hoped she didn't notice he had wiped away those tears. Now passing her the photo of his mother he started stretching for his match.
Kaori looks down at the photo of Tyler's mother and closes her eyes for a moment. Keeping the photo close to her, she was thinking back for a moment when her own mother passed from radiation poisoning.
Kaori Shikagami: "... Oka-san..."
Literally about to cry once that thought came into mind. She opens her eyes and looks over at Tyler, trying to keep a straight face.
Kaori Shikagami: "I will treasure this, Tyler-sama. I'll treasure it with my life."
Noticing she was about to cry Tyler pulled her gentle towards him hugging her. He held her in his muscular arms knowing she would feel safe.
Tyler Knight: “Kaori I'm sorry to upset you, I know we talked about your mother too. Let's promise each other now that what ever it takes we will make them both proud of us.”
Using his thumbs to wipe the tears that had formed in her eyes he stared straight in to them seeing all the hurt she had experienced.
Tyler Knight: “I can see that you experienced as much hurt in your life as I have and I promise you this now I'll do whatever it take to make you happy. You and our unborn child are what matter most to me now. Any way it's time to focus on our future and first of all me beaten this punk Darius Jensen. If you could please babe, could you go out to the refreshments table and grab me a couple of bottles of water?”
Kaori smiles a little bit.
Kaori Shikagami: "Okay, I'll be right back."
With that being said, she gives him a kiss before exiting the locker room to go fetch Tyler a couple of bottles of water.
Mayhem:Just when I thought those two couldn’t get any more weird! Please, take us back to sanity Hopeforth!
Stan Hopeforth: The following contest is scheduled for one fall... Heading to the ring first, from Norway... HE... IS... DAAARIOUSSSS JEEEEENNNSONNNN!!!
The arena lights shut off, so that there is only complete darkness. Suddenly a red light flickers and projects a pentagram in the middle of the ring. A woman’s scream is heard somewhere in the arena and “King” by Satyricon begins to play. A single fireball erupts and quickly dissipates on the stage and ‘The Messenger of Hell’ himself, Darius Jensen, walks out into the arena, visible only through spotlight, meeting a chorus of cheers, jeers, and generally chaotic crowd reaction.
Trinks: This guy is truly... just wrong.
Mayhem: You mean there seems to be something wrong with him, right Richie?
Trinks: No. I seriously mean he's a few fries short of the Happy Meal!
He runs his hands over his finely-groomed hair, wearing only plain black leather pants and black wrestling boots. Slowly, he walks down the ramp – grinning in the most sinister manner, his eyes bloodshot. Jensen stops in front of the ring, tilts his head to crack his neck, then climbs up onto the apron and into the ring. He stops in the middle of the pentagram and looks straight up, soaking in the red light emanating from the ceiling. He spreads his arms out and his eyes roll back into his skull. The arena once again becomes pitch black and the music fades. When the lights return to normal, Jensen is crouched up in his corner, clutching a black inverted cross draped around his neck.
Stan Hopeforth: And his opposition... hailing from California. Let's hear it for THE KNIGHTMARE... TYYYYYYLER KNIIIIIIIGGGGHT!!!
“Nightmare” by Avenged Sevenfold surrounds the arena as the crowd erupts into a chorus of boos. As the music kicks in the stage fills up with smoke, “The Knightmare” Tyler Knight walks out from the smoke. Tyler has a very sickening smirk from ear to ear as he laps up the boos from the crowd. Tyler stands at the top of the ramp with his head held high as if he is better then anyone else, Tyler believes that the fans are no better then the dirt on his shoes. Now making his way down the ramp still with the same sickening smirk, Tyler ignores some of the crowd but reacts with swearing at them verbally as well as sticking his middle finger up at him on each hand. Now at the ring Tyler walks up the steel steps entering the ring through the middle and top rope. Now in the ring, Tyler confidentially strolls to the turnbuckle and jumps up on it, Tyler holds out his arms in a Jesus pose as he believes his even better than Jesus. After a few seconds of lapping up the abuse and boos from the crowd Tyler jumps down and gets ready as his music fades out. He flips off Jenson, who returns the gesture with a shrug... And a sneer.
Trinks: Time to rumble! Wake me when it's over...
Mayhem: What?
DING! DING!
Trinks: This should be pretty uneventful. Wake me when some real stars are shining tonight!
Mayhem: Um, begging to differ here. Both Knight and Jenson are uber talents. I'd show some respect or maybe I'll go on up there and let em both know what ya just said.
Trinks: Hey now! No reason for threats... Fine, let the thrilling contest of a Devil's nightmare continue!
Mayhem: A what?!
Trinks: Hush Magpie. Let us watch ability personified...
Trinks laughs, we hear Mayhem simply sigh as the match finally gets some action. Jenson and Knight tie up and start looking to take the advantage over the other. Jenson uses his savvy technical skills and quickly lands a knee shot to Knight. He then twist Tyler's wrist, Knight slapping at his shoulder and grimacing in agony as Jenson moves him around the ring in a small circle whilst twisting on the wrist. Darius then strikes with speed, yanking on the wrist and tugging Knight into him only to land a nasty back elbow with a huge SMACK across Knight's face! Tyler staggers and clutches his face, Jenson waste not a breath now... He comes back in and snatches up Knight's head. Wrenching on a side headlock, Jenson's teeth clinched tightly as he sneers out at the crowd and stomps around the ring with Knight's head under his arm. Tyler is fighting, his arms flail as he attempts to break free!
Mayhem: That's a vile headlock. Tyler Knight better get himself some space in there!
Trinks: Jenson is a demon, a creature of the fiery pits in Hell. He's relentless, and vicious!
Mayhem: Is that so?
Trinks: Yup. It sounded good atleast...
Knight gets the ropes now, and Jenson refuses to break the headlock. The ref starts a DQ count and nearly counts to the DQ, but at the last second... Darius lets go. Tyler gags and staggers forward, but Jenson is quick and comes back in for more. He snatches up Tyler and looks for a Russian Leg Sweep... The crowd getting loud as Tyler blocks it however. Knight throws two elbows shots into Jenson now and then lands a crushing and swift reversed Russian Leg Sweep onto Jenson! Darius lands hard face first over the mat and flails and flops a bit himself. Tyler is on one knee now, he sneers in anger as he quickly stands and shakes off the headlock. Darius scrambling up only to get plowed back down!!!
Mayhem: Oh! Brutal spinning roundhouse kick from Knight to Jenson! That had to ring some bells in Darius' head!
Trinks: It was nasty!
Darius falls to a knee, clutching his head in pain. Tyler is back in the fight now, nearly seeming to growl as he throws a heavy right hand flush in Jenson's face! This staggers Darius back to his feet, Tyler snags his wrist and slings Jenson around and into the ropes with force. Darius rebounds out and is hammered down over the canvas with a completely wild Busaiku Knee Kick!!!
Mayhem: GOOD KNIGHT!
Trinks: That was a stunner, straight out of nowhere!
Mayhem: Tyler Knight may have just made quick work of Jenson here tonight folks!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
Stan Hopeforth: And your winner... THE KNIGHTMARE... TYYYYLER KNIIIIIIIIGGGGGGHTTTT!!!
Mayhem: That was quick, Tyler Knight with an impressively quick victory here tonight folks!
Trinks: As much as it pains me, this guy can go. Wonder how long before he gets himself into a title scene here at Revival!
Mayhem: Um he just wrestled Ethan Teller last Violence for the Primetime title.
Trinks: Yeah, yeah. I wanna see how hard he'll bring it against Adams or LaRoux!
Mayhem: You also don't want Adams as champ... I'm pretty sure you'd love for anyone to beat him and take it!
Trinks laughs here, in the ring Jenson sits up in shock. Touching at his jaw, and glaring through the ropes at Tyler Knight. Tyler all smirks now as he backs up the aisle and holds a victorious 'devil horns' high over his head with his right arm.
Trinks: You're pretty much right for a change Magpie.
Mayhem: For a change?!
Trinks: Okay... You're always right... Jeebus!
