Welcome to Gaia! ::

The crowd begins to get a bit more riled up now, knowing that they're getting towards the upper card of matches for tonight. Roselyn enters the ring, beginning her announcements.

Roselyn: "The following contest is a Four Corner Survival match scheduled for one fall, with a thirty minute time limit! Your referee is Dave Nichols."

Nichols gets a pretty half-hearted wave of boos from the crowd, not really caring about the mid-card ref enough to show him the anger and malice they have towards any of the higher-ups. Their attention quickly turns away as they look towards the ramp, seeing that one of the entrances is starting.

The arena's lights fade quickly, leaving the crowd in almost total darkness except for the few lights scattered around backstage and away from the ring area. Soon, an ominous voice calls out from the speakers.

"Though he be a demon, the scourge of the night...He shall be as a star, the earth's guiding light..."

The slow guitar riff intro of "Twist of Cain" by Danzig begins to play, the crowd beginning to cheer as the music slowly leads into the main part, Danny and the Father Daemon walking out through the curtains, starting down the small ramp and walking a few steps down the aisle towards the crowd.

Ooh
I can feel it move me
Feel it shove me
As I break the law
Said yeah
I can feel it jabbing
Cut the numbness then I
I come alive yeah

Roselyn: "Introducing first...Weighing in at two hundred fifty pounds...DANNY 'DEMONSTAR' DAEMON!!!"

Danny stops for a moment, looking around at the crowd, then suddenly throws his head back and spits a mist of blood up in the air, getting the crowd to cheer louder for that.

Twist of Cain
Yeah drives my brain
Yeah twist of Cain
Make me come alive
'Cause it does

Yeah twist of Cain
Yeah drives my brain
Yeah twist of Cain
Make me come alive

By now, the dry ice set up along side the aisle makes it seem as if Danny and the Father Daemon are both gliding down towards the ring rather than walking, the crowd reaching out to pat Danny on the back, but avoiding touching the Father Daemon. Soon, the two of them enter the ring, Danny raising up his arms to be showered with boos. The Father Daemon takes off Danny's coat, then exits the ring, leaving Danny to head over to his corner and wait for his next opponent.

The lights in the arena fade down to black once again as a soft pinging noise fills the speakers, followed by thumping bass drum and guitar riffs, a woman soon beginning to chant "Spirits, spirits, come, come" over and over. Finally, the lights shut out completely as the acoustic intro to "24" by Jem begins, the chanting still filling up the background. The crowd has a very mixed reaction to this entrance, the boos and cheers just about equal, though slightly more on the negative side. The chanting begins to fade out as the lights start flickering again, this time with the beat of the violins.

Been given 24 hours to tie up loose ends,
to make amends
His eyes said it all, I started to fall,
and the silence defeaned
Heads spinnin' round, no time to sit down
just wanted to run and run and run
Careful they say, don't waish life away...
Now I've one day

Spotlights snap on as a guitar riff enters the song, a woman walking out onto the top of the ramp through the curtains, her thick black hair falling down around her face as she hangs her head, arms held loosely down at her sides. As usual, she takes her position right in the middle of the spotlight, silhouetting against the curtain.

I can't believe...
How I've been wasting my time...

As the song hits its chorus, the woman throws her head back, knocking her hair out of her face and throwing her arms out to the side, showing that it is, of course, Riona Langly. After a few moments, she begins to head down the ramp, not holding out her hands for high-fives, but not stopping any slaps to her back. At the bottom of the ramp, Riona shifts into a run, sliding in under the bottom rope and quickly moving to her feet, throwing her arms out in the crucifix pose once again.

Roselyn: "Next...From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...A member of Chaos Affinity...The Celestial Trigger...RIONA LANGLY!!!"

The lights then turn back to their normal glow as Riona heads over to one of the empty corners, doing some quick stretches in preparation for the match ahead.

The lights in the arena flash three times with the ascending drum beats of "Hatred", fading out afterwards into an ice blue glow along the entrance ramp and around the ringside area. Most of the crowd begins to boo, but certain sections of the crowd go wild at the entrance, singing along with the song and pounding the barrier with the crushing beat.

I crush your bones
I kill your face
I rip your flesh
I AM THE CHASE!

You meet with terror
You draw the ace
I rule the world
The rats that race

Muahahahaha...

Eric Adams' sinister laugh fades out as a swooping sound rushes over the speakers, followed by a menacing guitar riff, soon added by rapid percussion, the drum beats pounding through the sound system. Ice blue lights flash over the entrance curtain along with the rapid beat, a high, wailing scream signalling the beginning of "Bullet Train" by Judas Priest.

The song continues to grow in heaviness and intensity, finally resulting in Dar throwing open the curtains and walking out to stand at the top of the miniscule entrance ramp, looking around the crowd for several moments as the reactions increase in intensity. Finally, the Samoan begins to make his way down the aisle, white trenchcoat flicking around his ankles.

Roselyn: "And their opponent...From American Samoan, weighing in at two hundred ninety pounds...He is an Apostle of Amaranthine and the Archetypal Assassin...'GENERALLY HOSTILE' DARSON GRAYS!!!"

Knocking away the hands of fans who try to reach over and high five him or pat him on the back, Dar continues to head down to the ring, finally reaching up to pull himself up onto the apron by grabbing the ropes, standing there for a few moments before stepping through them. Walking out to the middle of the ring, the Samoan reaches down to undo the buckle of his trench coat, throwing it out of the ring after sliding it off and heading over to an empty corner to reach down and rip his t-shirt off, flexing menacingly at the crowd and looking over towards Riona. The Celestial Trigger looks on, obviously not scared, but recognizing the bad blood between them now. Finally, Dar steps down, leaning back against his corner and waiting for their last opponent.

dOhh...whe...
dOhh...whe...
dOhh...whe...
dOhh...whe...

The intro to "Reise, Reise" by Rammstein soars through the arena with a chivalrous cry, the crowd immediately bursting into cheers. The spotlight flashes right back over to the curtains, Hated swatting it to the side and walking out to stand in view of everyone in the arena, the cheers getting even louder now for the enemy-turned-idol for the GWA fans.

Auch auf den Wellen wird gefochten
Wo Fisch und Fleisch zur See geflochten
Der eine sticht die Lanz' im Heer
Der andere wirft sie in das Meer

Ah.......Ahoi...

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Jeder tut's auf seine Weise
Der eine st t den Speer zum Mann
Der andere zum Fische dann

Hated starts down the aisle, walking down through it and slapping hands with just a few hands, stopping at the middle of the aisle to throw his arms out to the side and do a slow, full turn, letting all of the fans see the pose before dropping his arms and continuing toward the ring.

Roselyn: "And finally...From Youngstown, Ohio...Weighing in at two hundred eighteen pounds...He is the Cynical Shogun...ANDREW 'HATED' CLEARWATER!!!"

Roselyn then exits the ring as Hated makes his way up the steel steps, walking across the apron to step through the ropes and head to the only empty corner left in the ring. Pulling himself up onto the top rope, the shogun raises both arms in the air, looking down as the crowd lets loose with more cheers, then throws his head back, looking up high in the air before jumping back down, suddenly walking across the ring to Dar. The Samoan quickly moves out of his corner, meeting him in the middle of the ring and pressing right up against the shogun, emphasizing the size difference as much as possible, but Hated isn't deterred whatsoever, the two beginning to insult one another. Nichols, seeing that this could get ugly, decides to call for the bell to start the match.

DING DING DING!!!

Hated and Dar's agument has led to shoving by this point, the two of them pushing each other back and yelling loudly, but Nichols quickly moves in between them, managing to break the two up, calling for them to get into their corners so that the match can start. Hated manages to push past him, slapping Dar hard across the face to cheers from the crowd. Dar steps back, then suddenly turns around, Hated dropping into a ready stance, only for Dar to turn again, grinning widely as he tells Danny and Riona to get out of the ring. The two don't really seem to have much of a problem with it, though Dar's comment to Riona is "Out of the ring, b***h", causing the Celestial Trigger to give him a dirty look. But the two do as they're asked, figuring it's not a big deal to be on the outside this early, as Dar and Hated turn back toward one another. The two quickly move forward into a grapple, Dar quickly moves around behind Hated, pulling him up into a Reverse Waistlock. Hated quickly widens his base, crouching down and working to get out of the hold, managing to break out of it and spin around to lock in his own Reverse Waistlock. Dar quickly pulls his arm out of it, though, twisting it around into an Armbar. Dar throws Hated over with a Hiptoss, holding on to fall with him and push him down onto the mat for a pin. "1..." Hated quickly kicks out, rolling over on top of Dar to try for his own pin, but Dar quickly rolls out from beneath him, pulling Hated up to his feet in a Front Facelock. Pushing his knee out from under him with his boot, Dar forces Hated down to one knee and quickly transitions the hold into an Armbar, wrenching up on Hated's shoulder. The shogun isn't about to get caught for long in this hold, though, rolling forward to twist out of it and picking Dar's leg out from under him, dropping down to the mat to go for a Leglock, only for Dar to wrap him up in a Body Scissors and pull back on his hair. Hated fights out of that, standing up just long enough to grab Dar's leg and drop back to lock in a Kneebar, but an elbow to the back of Hated's head sends him rolling away, both men getting up to their feet as the crowd cheers for the intensity of this mat wrestling.

The two quickly move forward to lock up again, Hated spinning around behind Dar, but rather than put him in another Reverse Waistlock, Hated reaches down to pull both his legs out from under him, sending Dar falling to his face on the mat. Hated then walks across Dar's back, stepping on the back of his head and walking forward to shove Riona, the Celestial Trigger barely able to hang onto the ropes, but quickly reaching out to try and get a punch on Hated, but he moves out in time, the two of them obviously having some unfinished business since Seeking the Crown. However, as Hated turns around, he's met with a hard elbow from Dar, the Samoan sending two more of the strikes into his jaw before grabbing his head and slamming him face-first into the top turnbuckle, Riona reaching over the rope to tag herself in. Dar looks back over at her, but doesn't argue, exiting the ring. Hated quickly rolls back away from her, though, standing near the opposite corner, only to have Danny tag himself in. Hated looks surprised at first, then angry that he doesn't have a chance to get his revenge on Riona, but there's not much he can do at the moment. Danny moves forward, locking up with Riona, who quickly twists his arm around into an Armbar. Danny winces a little, then manages to roll himself forward out of the hold, reversing it into his own Armbar, able to put more strength into it. Riona rolls forward out of hers as well, Danny quickly twisting it back up, only for Riona to roll backwards and release the pressure. Danny just flips her over him though with an Arm Drag, dropping down to the mat to keep the Armbar locked in from there. Riona pushes herself back up to her feet, still in the hold, but Danny suddenly pulls her forward into a Side Headlock, stopping her from any reversals. Riona pushes Danny into the ropes, sending him into the opposite set and spinning around for a go-behind, but Danny does the same thing, the two quickly moving behind one another until Riona reaches down to pull Danny's leg out from under him, running back to the ropes, only for Danny to grab her arm and send her flying with a Hiptoss, landing Riona hard on her back.

Danny backs off for a few moments after this, Riona getting up, then suddenly turning around to run over and shove Hated off the apron, the crowd booing as Danny runs forward for a Clothesline, only for Riona to grab his arm and turn him around into a Full Nelson. She immediately transitions into a Hammerlock, then a Side Headlock, never staying in a hold long enough for Danny to twist out of it, Danny finally able to push her forward into the ropes from the headlock. As Riona comes back, she launches herself into a Flying Shoulderblock, able to take down Danny with that, and land on her feet, albeit stumbling to stay up. Riona runs to the ropes, but Danny rolls towards her legs, forcing her to jump over him and allowing him to get up to his feet, catching Riona with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly. Riona hits the mat hard, but fights through the pain, quickly rolling up to her feet as Danny comes toward her, throwing a punch, but quickly bringing her hand back as Danny goes for an Arm Drag, the Demonstar rolling down onto all fours from the momentum as Riona dives over him to pull him into a LA MAGISTRAL! "1...2" Danny kicks out, both of them rolling up to their feet as Danny throws a punch. Riona blocks it with her forearms, though, pushing Danny back into the ropes to whip him across the ring, only to have Danny reverse it. Riona stops the whip at its full extension, though, turning around and pulling Danny down to the mat, rolling straight through it to end up with Danny laying on his stomach, Riona kneeling on his back and quickly crossing his legs to lean back into the DEATH BE-NO! Danny rolls out of her hold, landing right on top of her in a pin, quickly hooking her leg. "1...2..." Riona kicks out, the two of them rolling up and way from one another, Riona seeming surprised that Danny has this ability to counter her. Danny shakes his arms out a little, rolling his neck, obviously a lot quicker than his weight would make one believe. The two of them start to circle one another, but Riona only goes far enough to stop at Dar's corner, reaching back to tag out to him.

Dar and Danny quickly begin to circle one another, the two having never faced each other in a match before, but neither looking intimidated. The two quickly lock up, Danny getting the advantage as he shoves Dar back into the ropes, then whips him across the ring, only to get a Shoulderblock knocking him right down into the mat. Danny quickly rolls up to his feet as Dar runs to the ropes, ducking under an elbow and turning around to knock Dar down to the mat with a Clothesline on the return. Dar quickly rolls up to his feet, but gets hit with another Clothesline, rolling up again to get Dropkicked right in the chest, sending him down onto his back. Dar rolls out of the ring after that, needing a moment to collect his senses, but Danny isn't about to just wait for him, running to the ropes and diving through them with a TOPÉ SUICIDAAAAAA!!! The crowd immediately gets up on their feet, pounding the barriers as Dar gets slammed down into the ground with Danny hitting him at full-force. Danny gets up after a few moments, deciding to roll into the ring and wait for Dar, mocking him from inside the ring as the Father Demon watches impassively. Finally, Dar gets up and rolls into the ring, only to get a few stomps from Danny, who then pushes Dar up to knock him back into the corner with some hard punches. Danny then grabs Dar's arm, starting to whip him across the ring, but Dar reverses it, sending Danny into the corner instead and running forward to nail the CHARGING ELBOW! Dar hauls Danny up onto the top rope, slamming another elbow into his jaw to keep him stunned as he climbs up onto the second rope, setting Danny up in a Front Facelock. But Dar doesn't stop there, stepping up one rope further - TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX!!! The ring shakes with the force of both big men slamming down into the canvas, the crowd unable to help but cheer for the huge move as Dar rolls over to cover Danny, hooking his leg for a pin. "1...2..." Riona quickly enters the ring, breaking the pin.

Dar glares over at Riona, but doesn't go after her, instead pulling Danny back up to his feet and twisting his arm around into an Armbar, pulling him over to the corner with it and tagging out to Hated. Hated enters the ring, leaning his arm back to slam a Bionic Elbow down onto his arm, quickly pulling it up into an Armbar of his own. Dar exits the ring as Hated begins to yank down on Danny's arm, sending shockwaves of pain through it, making the Demonstar cringe. Finally, Hated whips him into the corner, running out in a circle to get momentum before charging forward to land a huge Dropkick right into Danny's face, sending him down into a seated position in the corner. Hated reaches down and pulls Danny up out of the corner, bringing him towards the middle of the ring and tucking his head under his arm. The shogun takes a moment to gather his strength, then quickly leans back, bringing Danny all the way over for a Northern Lights Suplex! Danny lands hard on the mat, but Hated doesn't bridge through with a pin, instead turning over to pull Danny back up to his feet. Hated wrenches his head up in a Cravate, holding onto the hold for a few seconds before throwing Danny over into a seated position with a Snapmare, slicing a hard chop across the back of his neck afterwards. Hated hauls Danny back up to his feet again, shoving him back into the neutral corner and laying into him with more of those hard chops, this time directed at his chest, before whipping him across the ring towards the opposite corner. Danny manages to get a foot up in time, hitting it on the middle turnbuckle and using it to spin around, nailing the charging Hated with a punch right to the face. Hated stumbles back away from the corner, turning around and clutching his nose, but Danny quickly grabs him from behind, pulling him down in a Schoolboy! "1...2..." Hated kicks out, nearly getting caught with that flash pin, both men rolling up to their feet. Danny ducks a Clothesline from Hated, pulling him into a Reverse Waistlock, but Hated quickly spins around in a go-behind, Danny suddenly charging towards the ropes and dropping to the ground, the momentum sending Hated flying out through the ropes to the outside!

Danny takes some time to rest, holding his back, still hurting somewhat from that Top Rope Superplex. Finally, though, as he sees Hated climbing back onto the apron, he heads over, only to get a shoulder rammed into his gut by the shogun. Hated quickly grabs the top rope, throwing himself over it to do a forward roll over Danny's back, the Demonstar turning around right into some hard punches from Hated. Hated grabs Danny's arm, whipping him across the ring, then turns around to go for a Spinning Heel Kick, but Danny ducks under that, coming off the opposite set of ropes and blowing Hated over with a huge Clothesline! Danny quickly moves over to Hated, pulling him up to his feet in a Front Facelock before he can recover, reaching down to hook his leg and bringing him over with a Fisherman's Suplex! Danny bridges up after hitting the move for a pin. "1...2..." Hated kicks out. Danny pulls Hated back up to his feet, but Hated suddenly knocks his arms away and shoves him back, dropping back towards the corner and tagging out to Dar. Dar quickly enters the ring, running forward right into a Drop Toe Hold from Danny, sending him face-first into the mat. Dar quickly pushes himself back up to his feet, though, only to be knocked back over with a Running Knee right into his face. Danny pulls Dar back up to his feet, deciding he needs a break, moving over to the corner and tagging out to Riona. Danny holds Dar's arm up to expose his mid-section to Riona, the Celestial Trigger taking the chance to hit a boot there, Danny knowing that wearing Dar down now will give him a chance to pin him later in the match. Riona quickly pushes Dar up against the ropes after a quick forearm shot, whipping him across the ring and going for a chop on the return, but Dar ducks under it, grabbing Riona from behind, only to have her sit out and drop down to the mat. But before she can roll away, Dar lays into her with hard kicks to the back of her spine, stunning Riona, then reaching down towards her. Riona just swings her legs up first, however, twisting to the side and throwing Dar over with a Headscissors Takedown, Dar quickly rolling back up to his feet, but dizzily stumbling into the corner.

Riona quickly follows him over with some hard chops to his chest, then runs out towards the middle of the ring, charging forward only for Dar to reach down and send her flying up over the ropes. Riona manages to grab the top one, though, swinging down to land on the apron and blocking an elbow from Dar to slam a forearm into his face. Dar stumbles back away from the ropes as Riona quickly pulls herself up onto the top turnbuckle, turning around to see her flying off of it with a Missile Dropkick! Riona quickly follows that one up with a pin. "1...2..." Dar kicks out. Riona stands up, pulling Dar up to his feet as well and pushing him back into the ropes to whip him across the ring, but Dar stops at the full extension of the whip, twisting Riona's arm up around in the process, and quickly leaning back to bash her face with a Back Elbow. Riona stumbles back and turns away from Dar, but this turns out to be a big mistake as he grabs her from behind and flexes back into a HEAD DROP GERMAN! "1...2..." Riona kicks out, though that was obviously a hard move to receive on her end. As Dar pulls Riona back up to her feet, she suddenly charges forward, shoving her shoulder against Dar's mid-section and sending him backwards into the corner, Danny reaching over the ropes and tagging himself in on Dar. Quickly entering the ring, Dar holds Riona in place long enough for Danny to send a clubbing blow down onto her back, pushing her up against the ropes afterwards and whipping her across the ring. Danny charges forward and bowls Riona over with a huge Shoulderblock, sending her crashing down into the mat and following up with a pin. "1...2..." Riona kicks out. Danny pulls Riona back up to her feet, this time pulling her arm down through her legs and turning her up onto his shoulder to drive her down into the mat with a Pumphandle Slam! Danny doesn't stop there, though, standing up and running off the ropes to come back for a Knee Drop, driving it straight down into Riona's head, showing no mercy in this match as he covers Riona afterwards for a pin. "1...2...TH-" Riona kicks out again.

Danny pulls Riona back up to her feet, pushing her up against the ropes and whipping her across the ring, but as Danny goes for a Clothesline, Riona ducks under it, turning around and pulling him up into a Full Nelson and jumping up for THE DETONATOR!!! Danny cries out in shock and pain as he gets hit with the move, Riona quickly rolling over to crouch over Danny's back, pulling him up for a Full Nelson Camel Clutch, but turns back to see Hated entering the ring. Riona quickly lets go of Danny, turning around just in time to pick Hated up for an Inverted Atomic Drop. Quickly spinning Hated around, Riona turns and pulls him down across her knee with an Inverted Facelock Backbreaker, holding that position as she reaches forward and hooks her arm across Danny's face, pulling him back to lock in a BACKBREAKER/CAMEL CLUTCH COMBO!!! The crowd cheers wildly for Riona's innovative submission, but, of course, Dar has to come in and stop all this tomfoolery. The Samoan doesn't break it up right away, though, possibly out of spite towards Hated, running the ropes several times to let him and Danny languish in the hold a little longer before finally coming off the ropes with a CHARGING ELBOOOWWWW TO RIONA! That breaks up the whole thing, the crowd cheering for it anyway. Hated and Danny roll over toward opposite corners while Dar goes after Riona, pushing her up into the corner and bashing her with a hard elbow before lifting her up onto the top rope. Dar follows up with another hard elbow to make sure she's stunned, then quickly climbs up onto the second rope, wrapping his arms around Riona's waist and dropping her back with a GUTWRENCH SUPERPLEX! Dar doesn't have time to follow up with a pin, though, having to get up and stop Hated, blocking his Clothesline with an elbow and going to whip him into the ropes, but Hated reverses it, sending Dar into them instead and turning sideways to lift him up for a Fireman's Carry Slam! The move has a much smoother motion to it due to Dar's momentum, and hits harder as well.

But Hated doesn't get a chance to pin either, as Danny attacks him from behind, slamming a forearm down onto his back. Danny pulls Hated up to his feet, attacking with several hard punches, Hated quickly fighting back with chops, until Danny throws a boot into his stomach. Danny rears back for another one, but Hated suddenly grabs his leg, throwing a knee into Danny's gut and quickly dropping his leg to grab him across the chest, lifting him up for the AIR SUPPLY!!! Hated drops to the side after that, though, needing some time to rest. As he gets back up, Danny has shifted himself over towards the corner, Hated quickly running over to force him up to his feet, pounding him with a Headbutt, then a second, and finally knocking him back down to a seated position with a third. Hated grabs the top rope, jumping back as if to swing forward for a huge battering ram kick to Danny's face, but Riona suddenly grabs his legs, picking him up and throwing him over the ropes to the outside! Before Riona can capitalize, though, Dar bashes her with an elbow from behind, tucking his head under her arm and lifting her back for a DANGEROUS BACKDROPPAAAAAHHHH!!! Riona lands hard from the move, rolling over to the side and clutching her neck, but Dar decides to go after Danny instead, knowing that he's the legal man right now. The Samoan bashes Danny with several hard elbows, dazing him long enough for Dar to haul him up onto the top rope once again. Dar throws another elbow, climbing up top and throwing more of them to Danny, who tries to fight back, knowing another big move could put him in trouble. Dar tries to set Danny up in a T-Bone position, but Danny fights out with clubbing blows of his fists, only to get more elbows. Finally, Dar ends all the struggling by leaning back for a BURNING ELBOW SMASH! That knocks Danny dizzy, long enough for Dar to set him back up in the T-Bone position just as Riona runs to the ropes, jumping up onto the second one as Dar falls back, Riona twisting in mid-air to throw herself against Dar's mid-section - SUPER EXPLODER/SPINEBUSTER COMBO!!! Both Dar and Danny land hard from that, Riona having managed to slam Dar down harder than usual with the Spinebuster, quickly getting up and climbing to the apron, jumping up on the top rope and spinning around for the ANGELIC EUPHORIA ON DAR!!! COVER! "1...2...TH-NOO!!!" Hated breaks it up just in time.

Riona stands up, Hated calling for her to fight him now, obviously still angry from her win at Seeking the Crown. Riona doesn't seem to have a problem with it, lashing out with a chop, only for Hated to come back with a punch. The two begin to trade strikes, and the fight quickly becomes intense, the two knocking each other around the ring - PUNCHES, CHOPS, FOREARMS, KNEES, CHOPS, PUNCHES, MORE FOREARMS! MORE CHOPS! Neither of them will back down, Hated finally getting Riona dazed long enough with a flurry of forearms to whip her into the ropes, bending down only to have Riona stop in front of him, quickly hooking both his arms and jumping up to lock her legs around him, falling back in the J.J.N.E.!!! Hated lands right on his neck and head, Riona quickly rolling them over to cover him for a pin. "1...2...TH-NOOO!!!" Dar breaks this one up. The Samoan hauls Riona up to her feet, dragging her over the ropes by her hair and throwing her to the outside, watching as she starts to get back up. Quickly running back towards the ropes, Dar comes off the opposite set, diving through them for an ELBOW SUICIDAAAAAAAAAA!!! Riona gets slammed back into the barrier with an elbow connecting directly to her face and jaw, the crowd bursting into cheers for the dive. Meanwhile, Danny decides to get in on this, pulling himself up onto the nearby top turnbuckle, then throwing himself off for a DIVING BODY PRESS TO THE OUTSIDE!!! The Demonstar sends Dar and Riona right back down onto the ground, the crowd cheering even louder now. Hated decides to finish things off, climbing up out onto the apron and waiting for all three of them to get back up to their feet before jumping up onto the ropes, flipping back into an ASAI MOONSAULT!!! Riona barely manages to get out of the way for this one, Dar and Danny getting taken right back down, but the Celestial Trigger slides right back into the ring, throwing her arms up in the air and looking like she's going to finish off all of this with a dive of her own. She runs back towards the ropes, then charges forward...only to slide down to her knees, flipping off the crowd and the three men at ringside, the fans booing loudly for that.

Hated quickly climbs up onto the apron, Riona standing up and going to chop him, but Hated blocks it and grabs her head, guillotining her down onto the top rope and sending her stumbling back into the ring, clutching her neck. Hated quickly slides back into the ring, pointing towards the corner as the crowd shoots up to their feet, the shogun running to the ropes and bouncing off the middle, then the top, flipping back into the MOOOOOOOONSHIIIIIIII-NOOOO!!! Riona rolls out of the way just in time. Hated quickly shoves himself up to his feet, but turns around right into the REALITY CHECK!!! But before Riona can follow up with anything, she gets hit with an elbow to the back of her head, Dar pulling her up into a Cross-Arm Choke from behind, falling back into the HOSTILEPLEX!!! Riona slumps back onto her stomach, Dar quickly rolling her over onto her back and hooking her leg for the pin. "1...2...THR-NOOO!!!" Danny breaks it up. The Demonstar lifts Dar back up to his feet, knocking him back into the corner with some brutal punches before going to whip him into the opposite corner. Dar reverses it, though, charging forward only to be met with a boot, Dar stumbling back, then turning around only to get pulled into a Knee Smash Facebreaker! Danny grabs Dar's head and jumps up to slam both knees into his face, sending Dar nearly falling back into the middle of the ring, but Danny quickly finishes him off, waiting for Dar to turn around and lifting him up into a CHOKEBOMB! Before he can follow up with a pin, Hated kicks Danny hard in the spine, pulling him back up to his feet as well and lifting him up in a Front Facelock, pulling Danny up and managing to lift him up in the air for a Vertical Suplex! Hated quickly floats over for a pin. "1...2..." Riona breaks it up. The Celestial Trigger lifts Hated back up to his feet, pushing him back into the ropes with a chop and going to whip him across the ring, but Hated reverses it, sending her into the ropes instead. Riona ducks under his attack, though, pulling him up in a Full Nelson and falling back with THE DETONATOR!!! Hated gets hit hard with the move, Riona quickly moving out from under him to roll him over for the pin. "1...2...THR-NOO!!!" Dar breaks it up.

The Samoan pulls Riona back up to her feet, dragging her into the corner by slamming her face-first onto the top turnbuckle. Quickly turning her around, he then lifts her up onto the top rope, climbing up to try and knock her dizzy with some elbows. Riona fights back with chops, quickly shoving Dar down off the ropes and jumping over him as he gets back up, turning around to block a Roaring Elbow, but unable to do the same for the ROARING BACK ELBOOOOOOWWWW!!! Riona goes down hard, Dar dropping down over her for a pin with a lateral press. "1...2...THR-NOOOO!!!" Riona just barely manages to get a shoulder up. Dar hauls Riona up to her feet, picking her up and pulling her up by the waist over his shoulder for the X-DRILLAAAAAAAAA-NOOOOO!!! Riona slides down over his shoulder to land behind him, quickly turning and pulling Dar up in a Full Nelson to fall back with another DETONATOR!!! Dar bends backwards at the knees to take the move, the shockwave sending him back up to a standing position, stumbling forward and holding his back, only to get taken down with a Diving Bulldog from Danny! But before the Demonstar can even go for a pin, Hated attacks him from behind, bashing him with a punch to the back before pulling him into a Reverse Waistlock, falling back for a HEAD DROP GERMAN! Hated doesn't stop, though, bringing Danny up again for ROLLING HEAD-DROP GERMANS!!! BRIDGE! "1...2...THR-NOOO!!!" Danny just barely manages to kick out. Hated pulls Danny right back up, though, reaching down to scoop him up for THE BIG OOOOOOO-NOOOO!!! Danny slides back over Hated's shoulders, turning around and waiting for Hated to do the same before quickly reaching back and lifting him up onto his back, holding his legs and swinging them out to drive Hated down with the DEMON SLAM!!! Danny leans right back into it, holding onto Hated's legs for a bridge! "1...2...THR-NOOO!!!" Dar breaks it up with a stomp to Danny's chest.

The Samoan quickly reaches down, pulling Danny up and spinning around to knock him silly with a ROARING ELBOW! As Danny stumbles around to face Dar again, he bends him over, wrapping his arms around his waist and lifting him up to pull him across his body into the X-DRILLAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! Danny gets planted directly onto his head with the move, Dar letting him flop over onto his back before covering with a pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOOO!!!" Riona breaks it up just in time. The Celestial Trigger quickly pushes Dar up to his feet, knocking him into the corner with chops before whipping him across the ring into the opposite corner, charging across the ring right into Dar's boot. Dar quickly grabs Rion and whips her back into the corner, running out towards the other side of the ring and charging back RIGHT INTO A DROP TOE HOLD INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!!! Dar's face connects solidly with the middle turnbuckle, the crowd bursting into cheers at that, Riona hauling Dar out of the corner to pull him up in a Reverse Facelock, throwing one arm up to the crowd before reaching down and crying out with exertion as she manages to sling Dar up just far enough in the air for her to spin down into the BOMB DROPPER REMIX!!!!! Dar connects solidly, right on his face, flopping over onto his back as Riona covers for the pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOOO!!!" HATED BREAKS IT UP! But before Hated can even doing anything, he gets pulled from behind into a DRAGON SUPLEX!!! Hated cries out as his neck gets driven down into the mat. The Demonstar can't follow up just yet, though, watching as Riona slowly gets up to her feet, waiting for her to turn around...RIGHT INTO THE BLOOD SPIT!!! Riona screams as the blood fills her eyes, clawing at her face and turning around, only for Danny to pull her from behind into a Reverse Facelock, lifting her up in the air for the TWIST OF CAAAAAAAIIIIIIII-NOOOOO!!! Hated grabs Danny by the head, turning him and knocking him senseless with the FEATURE PRESENTATION HEADBUTTS!!! Riona gets dropped back down onto the mat, still trying to clear the blood out of her eyes, but Hated finally reaches down to pull Danny back up around, driving him down into the mat with THE BIG OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! COVER! "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!"

Riona and Dar both go to break up the pin, but neither can get there in time as the bell rings, the crowd bursting into cheers at seeing one of their favorites get the win. Hated quickly rolls off of Danny, pushing himself up to his feet and raising his arm up in the air, the crowd cheering louder for the shogun.

Roselyn: "Here is your winner...ANDREW 'HATED' CLEARWATER!!!"

Hated scores one for the GWA, Dar and Riona both looking on in anger, but knowing that both their factions have taken a loss from this. Hated rolls to the outside, slapping hands with a few fans and holding his arms up high in the air, knowing himself that he just got back his loss from the last show, walking back towards the ramp and turning to point at Dar and Riona, grinning widely, letting them know that the war isn't over.
