The lights around the arena all go off along with the SFT-tron fading to darkness. After a few moments of nothing, the green and white strobe lights begin to go off around the entrance underneath the SFT-tron as three green searchlights start to circle around the arena.
Some kind of evidence, Some kind of reason, Why I can't find a way, To begin my life
Rayn walks out from the entrance, standing right above the green and white strobes going off around the entrance as the rest of the arena stays dark except for the green search lights. He looks downwards for a moment, before looking up towards the ring.
Somewhere in this dying day, If I can only find a way for my escape, I find it hard to concentrate with all my past mistakes, TO BEGIN MY LIFE!
A spotlight shines down on him as he starts to walk down the ramp way. He gets to the ring, before pausing for a moment looking around the arena. He then walks over to the stairs and steps up them slowly, before walking across the ring apron and coming to the turnbuckle. He climbs up to the second, then raises his right arm up above his head for a moment. He lowers his arm before droping down to the apron, and climbing into the ring between the ropes.
Announcer: Weighing in at two hundred thirty pounds, he is the former SFT World heavyweight champion, and former one half of the SFT tag team champions... RAYN!
Rayn walks across the ring, to the opposite turnbuckle. He steps up on the second rope, looking out at the crowd as he raises his right arm into the air again. He holds this pose for a moment, before lowering his arm and hoping down off the ropes.
"Enter Sandman" by Metallica hits the loudspeakers and green and gold pyro erupt at the stage area. Kyle Murphy walks out, with Fireball at his side. Murphy has the TV Championship over his shoulder. He and Fireball walk down the ramp. At ringside Kyle leaps to the top of the steps, then walks to the middle of the apron before stepping into the ring. Going to one corner, he climbs to the second rope and holds the Television Championship over his head. The crowd continues to roar, and Murphy steps down off the second rope. He holds up the championships one more time, then hands them to the referee and gets ready to compete.
The crowd sit expectantly in their seats as the first murmurings of 'Head like a Hole' start to play out into the arena, strobe lights start to strafe the arena as they seek the illusive Myris. As the heavy line kicks in Myris emerges from one of the emergency exits in the crowd accompanied by a few of the security staff to keep the hateful crowd at bay. Myris makes his way to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope, he stands up, removes his shirt and throws it at the referee before standing on the second turnbuckle - a picture of focused tranquility amongst the seething boos from a disapproving crowd.
"I STAND ALOOOOONNNNEEEE!" The electric Guitar blasts over the PA and out through the curtain reno runs out in excitement he runs to each side of the stage and points out to the crowd and screams. He looks towards the ring and pats on his chest and begins to walk down. Before he hits the middle of the isle he bends down to tap the floor and spreads his arms out like an eagle and the pyro goes off. The crowd praises as he makes his way to the ring. He slides from the outside to the inside of the ring and heads towards the turnbuckle. He raises his arms as the camera flashes. Then he looks towards the entrance way while still on the ropes.
The arena is plunged into darkness as the sound of gears moving echos through the arena. Gears start to rise from the ramp way, each one moving in it's own way. The Striketron begins to flash pictures of gears moving. The word "MACHINA" appears over the gears in dark crimson.
"Machina" Nirvana's voice calls out through the arean.
The gears continue to move, suddenly moving much faster as a beautiful image of a butterfly emerging from it's cacoon appears on the jumbotron. The arena is plunged into gold which flashes into silver every other second, than back into gold. Images of babies being born and people filing into churches and other social places to appear on the jumbotron. First just a child walking, and than a bear attacking a wolf and ripping it's guts out. A sigh is sent out over the pa as white powder begins to call from the arena celing. Soon, the jumbotron shows images of past Jeff King matches from SFT and RWA. Finaly, the last image shown is of Jeff King holding the SFT title above his head after his first world title win.
The gears move even faster, this time forcing a throne to rise from the area directly in front of the striketron. The sounds coming over the pa speed up. That's when "Play Dead" by Combichrist hits the pa.
"THAT'S RIGHT. LAY DOWN. PLAY DEAD. BE DEAD!"
Nirvana stands up, wearing a long crimson robe. Lucretia appears behind him, her hands running down his chest as he glances out into the audience with his piercing eyes. Within his eyes the audience can see moving gears, almost clockwork in nature. As the bass of "Play Dead" hits Lucretia rips the robe off of Nirvana and flames explode from behind them.
He is dressed in torn and tattered battle clothes. They are black and show wear from any battles, As if it's tradition to wear them in each battle he had. The crowd beings to cheer, but most of them are in awe of him as he walks towards the ring with great stride. He has his trademark cane at his side, the tip sharpened into a spike. Around his neck is barbed wire, tied together into a huge rope of wire. He smiles to the crowd with all the pizazze of a salesman, but with the personality of a shark. Comfortable, yet slightly unsettling images display on the jumbotron, Traditional families eating traditional dinners, watching traditional television, playing with traditional toys...but nobody looks happy. They all have a sullen-eyed look about them which underlies the true feelings inside of them. Jeff makes his way to the ring, spitting in the fans direction, and nodding towards the fans, who, in turn, boo him. Climbing into the ring with Lucretia, he removes his shirt, revealing his wrestling gear beneath it. Lucretia raises his arm above his head and goes in for a passionate kiss, than leaves the ring to take her place at the side. He goes to the to the back turnbuckle and nods to the fans with his cane, which he drops outside the ring with his barbed wire.
"The Undertaker" begins to play over the sound system as the lade die down and spotlight hit the top of the aisle. A few moments pass before Mikheil Jarvis walks out on to the top of the Aisle with the Tag Team Championship on his right shoulder and the World Championship around his waist. He walks with purpose down the ramp as the crowd show their discontent with him. He walks up the stairs in a deliberate manner , stepping through the ropes before walking to the center of the ring facing the hard camera and spreading his arms out to his side and looking up towards the sky as he soaks in the crowds response.
The bell rings and immediately the fans get to there feet to give a standing ovation. Reno Destiny goes to climb into the ring but Rayn eases him back onto the apron, going out first. Nirvana stands defiant until Murphy gets into the ring and although Myris climbs in too, Jarvis makes sure he gets the chance to defend his title from the get go.
Murphy moves forward to make a start to the match, when King reaches forward over the ropes and slams him to the mat, pulling back on the man’s shoulders. The noise triggers a reaction from Jarvis and Rayn who charge at each other with arms raised for clotheslines. At the last second Rayn dives forward though and goes for a chop block from the front. But the world champion is quick and jumps over, rebounding at the ropes and elbowing Reno in the face before coming back and stomping hard on the back of Rayn’s head.
RW: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight’s main event. It’s a somewhat random match up I’m sure many of you will agree, but each of these six men are of the highest caliber SFT has seen in months, if not years…
JC: If not ever.
RW: Indeed. And random or not, I guarantee no man is going to just let his chance at the world title go down the plughole while someone else takes all the glory. Some of these men have history between each other. Some are friends. Some are enemies, but I think that is a moot point when the chance to reach the highest rung of the ladder is right there in front of you.
Murphy is back up and uses his strength and size to knock Jarvis with a shoulder barge, sending him flying into the turnbuckle. Murphy follows with a body splash, sandwiching Jarvis and adding further damage. But then Rayn comes from behind and dropkicks the two together. Murphy falls onto his back and Jarvis is left sprawled out over the top rope. Rayn walks to Jarvis when King walks across the apron. Rayn catches him out of the corner of his eye and King steps back warily. But when Rayn reaches out for Jarvis, King’s leg springs up over the ropes and kicks Rayn square in the face. Jarvis, breathless, looks appreciative, but then Jarvis gets a kick to the face too!
Reno and Myris lean over the ropes angrily when Murphy faces his partner and delivers a single punch which knocks him off the apron. The fans roar with a reaction.
RW: I guess these two are the best of friends.
JC: I don’t see the point of the tag format! The cohesion is going to be obliterated for the sake of the win! Only one man can get the pin and by God, that title is not going to be shared out by anyone. King and Murphy have both made it clear that they have no intention of working together!
Murphy reaches out for Jarvis when the champion delivers a mule kick to the Irish man’s gut, leaps up to the second rope and lands a moonsault on his standing opponent. He immediately tries to follow up with a pin but only gets a one count from the referee before Rayn pulls Jarvis off. Murphy gets up to his feet quickly and goes to blows with Rayn, before Murphy gets the upper hand and attempts a suplex. He holds Rayn vertical for a few seconds before dropping him.
Jarvis is now also back on his feet and after hitting Murphy with a few sharp kicks, he runs into the ropes to his a leg lariat. Murphy catches him in mid air for the reversal but Jarvis uses the momentum to reverse again and hit a Japanese arm drag. Murphy rolls across the ring is right back up to his feet, Reno Destiny from the apron slaps him across the back of the head to get him to turn around and then hits the snake eyes, dropping down onto the apron. Murphy springs backwards into Jarvis who hits him with a jawbreaker. Nevertheless, when Reno gets his bearings, he’s met with a huge clothesline from Myris! Myris kneels down over Reno and begins laying in the blows but then King hits a running Shining Wizard. The three men unofficially in the match begin to go to war with each other on the outside leaving only Jarvis and Rayn standing on the inside.
Rayn punches first and Jarvis follows with a spinning chop which sends an echo through the arena. The fans let out an ‘oooh’, before Rayn leans in and headbutts Jarvis to the floor. Blood begins to trickle from the champions nose.
RW: The current champion is getting the brunt of the pain tonight so far. Looks like everyone wants to bully the little guy.
JC: Are you patronizing our world champion? He won that title fair and square!
Rayn drops to the mat and locks in an armbar which is quickly reversed and escaped from. Jarvis waits for Rayn to charge again and then gets the bigger man caught in a rolling single leg Boston crab! No one else is in sight and the lock is right in the centre of the ring!
RW: This could already be over if Jarvis can get Rayn to tap!
JC: Rayn is a former champ himself, I think he has more fortitude than that to let go so early on.
Jarvis sees Murphy roll back into the ring, but he can’t do anything as another former world champion runs across the ring and spears him rigidly in the solar plexus. Jarvis falls out of the ring under the bottom rope. Murphy grabs Rayn’s face and lifts him up to his feet. He looks poised to hit the Warrior’s Code when Rayn reverses with an attempt of the Epiphany. Murphy tries his hardest to get out of it, but ends up planted on the mat.
JC: The EPIPHANY!
Rayn goes for the cover and all heads turn like meerkats in the fright of danger. Myris, Reno Destiny and Nirvana all roll into the ring instantaneously to break up the count. Rather than returning to their battle, they check on their partners. Myris gets Jarvis on the apron so he can tag himself in. At the same time, Reno and King do the same, although King ends up kicking Murphy in the ribs until he’s rolled over under the bottom rope. All three tag themselves in.
King starts up the new round of mayhem by delivering a flurry of kicks and punches to both men. But by bringing such attention to himself, Myris and Reno work together against him. Reno hooks both his arms behind him and Myris hits a big boot to the jaw so Reno uses the momentum to hit a dragon suplex. Reno uses the chance to go for a pin, but Myris hits a low blow between the legs which the ref misses due to him counting.
Myris grabs Reno and quickly nails a piledriver, then moves over to King. King snares his eyes then rolls him into a small package, instantly releasing and goes to blatantly choke Myris with his hand. He gets to four and a half before releasing. Then getting onto his feet, he kicks Myris in the neck.
Reno limps up and King charges at him, but Reno thrusts his knee into his chest, slams him onto his back and drops an elbow in succession. Reno gets up but so does King to his despair. Reno smashes his fist into King’s face but there is no reaction. King reaches out and grabs Reno by the throat and walks him back into the turnbuckle. Then King lunges forward and bites into Reno’s cheek. The referee is about to make a fuss when Myris comes out of no where, barges the referee to the floor and drives his knee into King’s back, then drops back nailing the back cracker. King rolls onto his front in agony and then Myris continues an assault on Reno. Kicking out both of his shins causing Reno to fall flat on his face. Myris then rolls out grabs Reno’s legs and drives his groin into the steel post.
Myris is just about to roll back into the ring when Kyle Murphy slides across the apron and nails a baseball slide on Myris, sending him back into the guard rail. Murphy then runs across the ring again and hits a flying body press to the outside! The two men go down and are laid out on the outside!
RW: Unbelievable!
Rayn and Jarvis both crawl into the ring from opposite sides. The referee is still down and the two men don’t seem to notice each other. Simultaneously, Rayn hits the Epiphany on Myris while the Swinging Standing STO is hit on Reno. When the two men notice each other, Rayn and Jarvis go to blows once again. But Rayn hits another Epiphany on Jarvis! He goes for the cover but the referee notifies he’s not the legal man! He stands up and stumbles back into the turnbuckle in disbelief.
JC: Everyone else is laid out but Rayn isn’t tagged in to make the win!
Suddenly ‘Tenth Man Down’ by Nightwish begins to play over the PA system. Rayn looks over at the stage as Annika Reizeger walks out and storms down to the ring. She slides in under the bottom rope and while he attempts to strike back, she unleashes a storm of her trademark moves. He keeps getting up, but after two Ural Kicks and then a Widowmaker, he’s laid out with the rest of his opponents.
JC: Jesus Christ! I never took Annika to be the type to make pre-emptive attacks!
RW: Pre-emptive? Rayn had it coming!
JC: And the ref is looking for someone to disqualify, but he can’t disqualify five men for an attack which is not in support of anyone!
It is Jarvis, Myris and Reno who are first up. Reno finds himself the victim of a team and takes a beating from the two. It ends up with the two hitting a combo of a shooting star press from Myris off the top rope and a slingshot star press from Jarvis! Both go for the pin, but the ref counts for Myris and Jarvis catches on, throwing Myris off!
The two partners look at each other in anger, but Rayn and Murphy climb into the ring at the same time! Rayn hits yet another Epiphany on Myris and Murphy hits the No Maker’s Mark on Jarvis. Yet again, neither man is eligible to pin and so they both go to blows. Rayn gets the upper hand this time, wrenching Murphy’s arm then follows it up with a DDT.
Again, all the men are laid out except for Rayn. He catches a glimpse of Myris struggling to his feet as he uses the Spanish announce table as a support. Rayn climbs to the top rope and flies off using the Acid Drop to drive Myris through the announce table! Now everyone is laid out but Murphy, Reno, King and Jarvis all begin stirring. Murphy returns the favour by making sure he is tagged in, King isn’t happy but is too out of it to react. He rolls out to the outside where he’s met by Lucretia Black. She seems to put something in his mouth, but no one else sees.
Jarvis returns to the ring the only unofficial man in the match but fights on nevertheless. Murphy, Reno and Jarvis all hit a chain series of moves for other a minute to the fans delight and to their exhaustion.
That’s when the mysterious man known as Ghost appears in the ring. All three men look at him and make attempts to get rid of him, but the enigma downs them all with powerful moves. When everyone is floored once again, he disappears as suddenly as he appeared.
JC: What the hell was that for!?
RW: I have no idea but to see Ghost once again means that something major behind the scenes must be underway! I can’t believe it! First Annika attacks Rayn and then Ghost attacks everyone in his way!
Reno, Jarvis and Myris are all laid out and make it to the perimeter of the ring, as their partners climb into ring to help. Eyes all over are clouded over, but there’s nothing to stop them from achieving their dream.
Rayn, Murphy and King all stand at the edge of the ring urging their partners to their feet. Eventually, all six men are standing there ready to fight. They stand poised. They stand ready. At an instant, they all put a foot forward to charge, when they’re stopped dead when Yanni’s Prelude begins to play over the PA system. Before the superstar even shows, the whole crowd are on their feet. Within moments, it is Allisa O’Toole who shows her face from behind the scenes. She looks healthy other than for a walking stick she uses to help her.
JC: HOLY FUCK!
RW: She’s dead!
JC: HOLY FUCK!
RW: I cannot believe my eyes!
JC: What is she doing here!? We watched her funeral! We mourned her! We finally accepted that one of SFTs favourite superstars had passed on! I cannot believe my eyes!
She makes her way down to the ring and even Jeff King looks on slightly amazed. She climbs up the steps after being handed a microphone then climbs into the ring. She looks at the referee then uses the stick to knock him out with a foul swing! Then she looks at the men surrounding her and finds all eyes rest on Nirvana. Allisa runs across the ring and looks ready to strike the man square between the eyes when she stops.
Lucretia Black sides into the ring and stands between them. She looks in as much disbelief as everyone else seeing her former friend back from the dead. She looks between Allisa and Nirvana, then winks at Allisa before taking the cane from O’Toole. The two of them raise their hands in the air. The fans boo and cheer at the same time but as soon as Allisa raises a finger to her mouth to shush them, all falls silent.
Allisa O’Toole: Hello darlings! Welcomes from the dead!
Lucretia smirks as all six men look utterly confused.
Allisa O’Toole: Death betrays us all and becomes something temporary if one is willing to kick up the fuss and twist his arm long enough for him to give in. Well I’m back once again. Here I am standing in this ring and I want you all to know that I am abusing my new found power as SFTs staff to say right here and now that I’m going to bring new life to this federation as it was given to me.
She takes a deep breath.
Allisa O’Toole: But I’m not my normal self. I’m still frail. That’s why I’ve decided to share my burden this time with my best friend. She might have tried to kill me a couple of times, but never have I seen such persistence. That’s dedication folks and that is exactly what we need. Between us, we’ll be sharing a new role on the staff of this federation. So welcome the newest super bitch couple. Fuck Sophia. Fuck Annika.
At that moment, a single toll of a bell is heard.
Allisa O’Toole: Welcome to the reign of Allisa and Lucretia. What we say… goes.
Allisa O’Toole: And what I say is… good night, Kyle.
O’Toole, a former world champion herself, uses her cane to smash Kyle Murphy over the head and brings him to the floor. Nirvana is not impressed but Lucretia holds him back. However, Nirvana is still the legal man in the match and his four opponents stare him down with vindication. All four of them approach but Lucretia sprays a black mist into all four faces. Allisa slides back into the ring and knocks out the referee with her cane and takes on the role of referee. Two men fall out, and it is only Nirvana, Mikheil Jarvis an Myris in the ring. Nirvana starts throwing punches at the two, but eventually he starts getting double-teamed. They double-whip him into a corner, and then the both Body Splash him. Nirvana crumples down in the corner, and Mikheil Jarvis nails the Silence!
JC: Silence! It's over!
Myris then suddenly throws Jarvis out of the ring, then pins Nirvana and Allisa counts the pin...
1.....
2.....
...
3!!
JC: Oh my god! Myris has done it! He's World Champion!
Winner: Myris
Myris jumps in the air and begins celebrating, and Mikheil Jarvis is on the outside looking in at Myris. The timekeeper hands Myris the Championship, and he begins parading around the ring.
JC: We have a new champion! Myris has finally done it and achieved the World Heavyweight Championship!
RW: That is all for tonight... but stay tuned for Fallout Seven... coming up next!
JC: That's right... Connor MacDaddy and his marraige vs. Sara Pettis and her career vs. Nathan Gust and his XCW!
RW: Have a good night!
