The crowd in the Gambino Gymnasium is pumped up for this next match, knowing that it's going to be an important chapter in the ongoing war between the Apostles of Amaranthine and the GWA's wrestlers. Roselyn enters the ring, getting ready to begin her announcements.

Roselyn: "The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, with a sixty minute time limit! Your referee is Peter London."

The usual intense thrash riff associated with any Apostles entrance blasts through the speakers, the crowd recognizing it right away, though the group has used a few different songs as a group. "Tempo of the Damned" by Exodus fills the gymnasium soon enough, the crowd already starting to boo and jeer, though several members of the crowd are cheering wildly and/or banging their heads along with the music, here to see the Apostles go on a rampage once again. The riff continues on for a while, getting more and more intense, then fades out for a few seconds...Before coming back in at full force, Dar throwing open the curtains and walking out onto the ramp, Kal following close behind him.

When you feel the darkness calling out your name
Don't try to fight the power surge!
Don't you laugh, for this is not a game
You're powerless, don't resist the urge!

Kal seems a little put off at the entrance theme, not used to coming out to angry white men screaming loudly, but Dar seems unaffected by it as usual, rolling his neck and shaking his wrists out a little. The two men begin to make their way down the ramp, occasionally knocking hands away as the crowd reaches out for high fives or to pat them on the back, though most of the fans are too busy booing them to do that. Kal laughs at the the crowd for their negative reactions, Dar merely stepping up next to the barrier threateningly, making one particularly vocal GWA fan back down.

Roselyn: "Making their way to the ring...At a combined weight of five hundred sixty pounds...They are the team of the 'Hollywood Highlight', Killa Kal, and 'Generally Hostile' Darson Grays...THE APOSTLES OF AMARANTHINE!!!"

So many black hearts answering the call
Legions of the musically possessed
Congregations joining in our free-for-all
Unleashing all the rage they've repressed!

The two men reach the end of the aisle, stopping for a few moments before heading towards the ring, Kal moving to the steps and walking up them while Dar grabs the ropes and pulls himself up easily onto the apron, both men entering the ring as Dar unclips his trench coat and throws it off, Kal yanking his black hoodie off as well and tossing it to the outside. As the highlight busies himself with taunting the crowd, Dar walks over to one of the corners and stands up in it, reaching down to pull his shirt off and whipping it over at one of the officials, flexing menacingly.

Come to us, succumb to lust
Give in to the ministry of sin
You know the drill, do as you will
Dance like the demons of the din

All will yearn for our nocturne
The dawning of our cult is at hand
Come and pray, we know the way
BOW TO THE TEMPO OF THE DAMNED!!!

The song moves into a blistering solo as Dar steps down from the corner, Kal coming over to join him as the two turn towards the entrance ramp, waiting for their opponents as the theme fades out.

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

The crowd erupts into cheers as the intro to "Reise, Reise" by Rammstein soars over the gymnasium with a chivalrous cry, the majestic intro leading up into the quick drum beat as usual...But then fading out for a few seconds, only to be replaced by the beginning of "Hide" by RED, the crowd cheering even louder as they recognize the temporarily mixed themes for the GWA team.



Hated swats the curtain out of his way, walking down a few steps over the ramp as Ice quickly runs out behind him, the crowd cheering even louder for the team, loving seeing two of their favorite wrestlers together like this, taking on some of the most hated guys in the GWA roster. The two quickly head down the ramp, stopping about mid-way as Hated throws his arms out to the side, spinning around as Ice throws his arms up as well, their poses strikingly similar, except for Ice's open hands and slightly curved arms.

Waste away, I'm crawling blind
Followed by what I left inside
For you, just you
I'm caught in place
But I ignore
What I can't erase

Both men lower their arms, Hated beginning to make his way down the ramp, not bothering to high five anybody, but not stopping them from slapping him on the back. Ice gets a little more friendly with the fans, though, high-fiving everybody he can and giving some cocky pep talk, the Silver Flame always excited to be out wrestling for the GWA crowd. Hated heads toward the steel steps as the two of them reach the end of the aisle, while Ice runs up to jump on the apron, holding his arms up high for the crowd.

I will run and hide 'til
Memories fade away
And I will leave behind a
Love so strong

Roselyn: "Now entering the ring, their opponents...at a combined weight of four hundred thirty-eight pounds...They are the 'Cynical Shogun' and the 'Silver Flame'...ANDREW 'HATED' CLEARWATER AND ICE!!!"

As Hated enters the ring, Ice throws himself over the top rope, running over to a neutral corner and once again pumping the crowd up, bouncing up and down on the ropes and getting the energy flowing. Finally, he hops back down, heading over to join Hated in their corner, doing some last-minute stretches while Hated stares across the ring at their opponents.

Roselyn exits the ring, London doing a quick check to make sure both teams are ready, then gets the match underway, stepping back and calling for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Darson looks a little hesitant to be starting the match off with Ice but he locks up with the Silver Flame anyway hoping to do some real quick damage before the match goes on too long. Ice however has a set plan going into this one and breaks the hold early to draw the big man into a side headlock. Dar is taken a bit aback by this not expecting the quick move from Ice in the beginning but bounces back quick enough to push the lighter man off of him and into the ropes where Ice rebounds and comes right back stopping quick and again pulling Dar back into the side headlock. Dar again quickly pushes him off only this time makes sure to send the Silver Flame into the corner where he follows him and attempts to grab him around the waits for what is sure to be some kind of move that will land Ice on his head. Ice again seems to have Dar completely scouted and his runs up the turnbuckle doing a flip behind Grays before leaping up and grabbing the big mans shoulders falling down into a LUNG BLOWER! Ice stands back up admiring the damage that the high impact move did to the former BTWF World Champion before being slaughtered by a huge EURO CUT to the back of the head from the clearly pissed Killa Kal. Ice stumbles forward a few steps before Kal is all over him, drilling him in the head once or twice with a couple of big forearms before whipping him into the ropes and then turning him inside out with a big Lariat. The Silver Flame is on his back as Kal steps out for a sec to allow Darson to tag him in and then comes right back into the ring looking to really get some revenge for the surprise Artic Flash from before.

Kal grabs Ice to his feet and is about to hit some big move or another before a loud pop from the crowd draws his attention and he looks up to see Andrew Clearwater sliding into the ring looking for a little retribution of his own. Kal decides that maybe Peter London is good for something and places Ice in-between himself and Hated as he points to hated and says “Get him out of here Ref, he’s not the legal man!” London shakes his head and sticks his arm out in front of AC stopping him from jumping Kal, not that he could get to him while he was holding Ice in-between them. Hated tries to push past London but finally settles for spitting on London’s shoes before turning around and taking his place in his corner. Kal nods his head and mutters “That’s right b***h” before-ARTIC FLASH-KAL DUCKS IT and lifts Ice up in an electric chair position on his shoulders before falling backwards with an Electric Chair Drop completely dropping the Silver Flame. Kal stands up with quite the distinguished look on his face before looking down at Ice and saying “That’s not gonna work twice you idiot” and then following the insult with a stiff kick to the side of Ice’s head. Kal gives the crowd a quick taunt before kneeling down on the back of Ice’s knee and lifting his leg up stretching the tendons in Ice’s leg to their limits. “You’re a one trick pony moron, let’s see you kick with out your legs!” Kal taunts again just making the crowds boo him even louder. Kal drops Ice’s leg and stands up before dropping a big knee to the back of Ice’s knee. Ice cringes trying to block out the pain as Kal does this again and again really trying to screw the hell out of Ice’s leg.

After about a half dozen knees to Ice, Kal drags the Silver Flame to his corner where he tags in Darson Grays. Grays, happy to have Ice on the mat, enters the ring and picks up right where Kal left off grabbing the same leg of Ice’s and twisting it at the knee to the side, wrenching the tendons and muscles in Ice’s leg. Ice reaches up and tries to power his way out of the move, but Dar’s clear strength advantage comes into play here as he continues to wrench the Silver Flame’s leg. Ice finally manages to get his other leg into the equation and pushes Dar’s hands away from his leg before doing a back roll and hopping to his feet. Unfortunately for the Silver Flame, the damage has been done to his leg and this causes ice to stumble just long enough for Dar to catch him with the BURNING ELBOW SMASH dropping Ice to the mat hard. Dar stands still admiring his handy work for a second as Ice’s hands shot up to his face to hold the spot where Dar’s forearm made contact with it. Grays lifts Ice up and pushes him into the AoA corner before starting to unload with a barrage of forearm shots to the face of Ice. Ice is seeing stars now as Kal reaches into the ring and tags his partner to keep the team fresh. Kal enters the ring and pulls Ice from the corner before pointing at Hated and saying “This is for the slap” and then rearing back and delivering a huge PIMP SMACK right across the face of Ice causing his head the whip to the left violently. Kal kisses the back of his head before making sure Ice can stand straight so he can deliver another brutal slap to the Silver Flame. Again Ice staggers back and again Kal grabs him to make sure he can take another one. “Pay attention Clearwater, this is how you really slap a ho!” Kal says as Hated watches on more frustrated then anything else really. Killa Kal rears back again, and once again delivers a brutal slap right to the face of-ICE ROLLS UNDER IT!

Right before the third slap was to make contact, Ice rolls under Kal’s arm and past him shooting up to tag the hand of his partner Hated! The crowd pops loud for this as Andrew Clearwater steps into the ring and gets right to business. He rushes at Killa Kal dropping him to the mat with a big Shoulder Block. Hated then gets back to his feet and runs at Dar nailing him hard in the face with a big forearm shot as if to get a bit of retribution for Ice. Dar is sent falling off of the apron where he barely manages to land on his feet on the outside below holding his face. Hated then turns around and catches Kal as he stands up grabbing him around the waits and nailing him with a big German Suplex. Kal is driven on his neck hard as Dar pulls him self back up to the apron looking ready for a fight. As Clearwater is getting up after the German though Ice leaps off of his back and into the air catching Darson Grays in the face with a huge FLYING LEG LARAIT that sends both men falling off of the apron and to the ground below in a tangles mess of limbs. Hated gets to his feet as the crowd marks out for the high risk move from Ice. Hated merely sighs at ice’s risky behavior and grabs Kal’s head as he is getting to his knees in a front face lock. Slowing down the pace of the match seems to work well as Kal quickly falls to his stomach after a few seconds with out oxygen. Hated holds on for a few more seconds before standing to his feet and stomping Kal’s head hard a few times. The Cynical Shogun then hits the ropes and comes back dropping the leg onto the back of Kal’s head before turning him around for the pin. 1…Kal kicks up.

Hated isn’t very thrown off by this though and he quickly gets to his feet taking the Hollywood Highlight with him. He walks Kal over to team GWA’s corner and puts him onto the third ropes before following him up and getting into position for the ever deadly Superplex. Hated tries to lift Kal up for the ‘Plex but Kal wraps his legs around the turnbuckle refusing to be lifted up. Hated drills a couple of hard rights into the side of Kal but he refuses to allow Hated this big a chance. This power struggle goes on for another couple of seconds before out of nowhere Darson Grays rolls into the ring and runs up grabbing Hated and drilling him into the mat with a huge POWERBOMB that looks to break Hated’s neck. Grays then turns back to his corner and is taken by surprise by Ice who springboards off of the ropes and flies forward onto Dar’s shoulders for a big Hurrica-POWERBOMB! Darson centers him self and grabs the Silver Flame before he can peel off, slamming him into the mat much like he had just done to Hated. The crowd can’t help but cheer for the might of the man standing in the ring as Killa Kal hops off of the turnbuckle and kicks Ice out of the ring again before dragging Hated over to the AoA’s corner and tagging in Grays. Dar wastes no time in grabbing Hated and sending him running into the ropes where he hits the cables and comes back right into a huge Lariat right to the neck from Grays. Grays then covers the Cynical Shogun hoping to end the match here and now so he can go home but Hated has other things planned and kicks out before the count of 3.

The Samoan doesn't think twice about tagging out to Kal, holding Hated in place by his hair, allowing Kal to bust Hated right in his jaw with a fierce right hand. Kal stalks Hated, grabbing him by the shoulders while he is seated, and drives his knee into Hated's spine. Afterwards he lifts him back up to his feet, chopping him across his bare chest. As Hated reels back from the stinging sensation in his chest, Kal sizes Hated up as if he's getting ready to take a picture with his fingers, turning him around right into a EuroCut! "What's wrong Hated? Not clear enough for you moon happy? While you're down there, how about shining up my boots?" Knocking Hated to the mat and following it up with trash talk isn't the smartest thing as Kal realizes the hard way as Hated goes into a grappler stance, bringing Kal down to the canvas with a leg trip. Hated uses his speed to close the gap between him and Kal's upper body. Hated goes strictly for Kal's right arm, locking in a tough armbar, trying to keep Kal grounded while working on his EuroCut arm. This doesn't sit well with the Hollywood Highlight who has to switch up his offense to defense, clawing away at Hated's arms to try and break his grip, but with no success. Hated continues to tighten his solid grip, but Kal doesn't forget about his strength so easily, using it to lift the Overcard of Anarchy off the canvas, carrying his body over to the AoA corner, and slamming him into the turnbuckles. Hated uses this to his advantage, perching himself up on the top turnbuckle, keeping the armbar locked in, but Kal gets a hold of the ropes, which brings the ref over to break the hold. Just as Hated releases Kal's arm, Dar vents some of his anger, delivering a startling elbow to the side of Hated's head causing him to slouch into the corner. Kal comes back with more fury than before, keeping Hated stuck in the corner with chops to his now red chest. Kal lifts up his chin, chopping him across the chest one more time, trying to turn it purple. Taking him by the arm, Kal sends Hated gunning towards the opposite corner, chasing after only to crash sternum first into the turnbuckle. Hated latches on to Kal with a reverse waistlock, pulling him back for a German Suplex! Thankfully, Kal had his hands glued to the ropes, making it that much more difficult for Hated to pull him from the corner. Hated grunted as he used all his strength to hit a German, but Kal's was that overwhelming, denying Hated any chance of hitting the suplex.

Hated breaks the waistlock, only to hop up on Kal's back to lock in a sleeper. The Hollywood Highlight doesn't let this take its intended effect as he turns around, banging Hated into the corner as he sandwiches his body. With Hated back in a corner, Kal retaliates with a vicious chop across his chest followed up with a hard right hook to Hated's jaw. Kal stuffs him into the bottom of the corner, choking and knocking his forearm into Hated's face. From there, Kal begins to drive his knee across Hated's face much like he did to the young Alex Lords in the Indy Pride match. Taking a few steps back, Kal rages on, driving his knee across Hated's face again, snatching him out of corner he goes for a pin, 1...2...kickout by Hated. Kal immediately lifts Hated back up only to get a animalistic headbutt from Hated who uses the opening to jump into the hair, knocking the flair out of Kal with a dropkick to his chest. Hated quickly goes to stomping Kal's body again, picking him up and throwing him to the ropes. Kal comes back, dodging his lariat, and comes of the opposite ropes lunging into the air for the KA-Hated hits a jumping calf kick! Kal tries to pick up the pieces of his momentum which has been killed by Hated, only to receive a snapshot dropkick right to his face. Hated looks over to Ice, who tells him to tag out to keep fresh, but Hated just ignores him, taking Kal by the arm and locking in a deadly Crippler Crossface!! Kal starts to go crazy as he flings his free arm about, trying to get to the ropes, but thanks to being in the middle of the ring, it makes it a bit harder. The Hollywood Highlight muscles his way towards the ropes, reaching out for them, but Hated slowly begins to inch Kal away from the ropes. Dar decides to take things into his own hands, wanting his partner to stay fresh. The Samoan Deathtank enters the ring, hitting a boot scrape across the nose of Hated, killing the crossface submission. Hated pursues Dar back to his corner, but Kal grabs him from behind, breaking him in half with a Backbreaker.

Kal rolls over, tagging out to Darson who comes in, ready for blood. Hated slowly stands up, clutching his back when Darson rams his elbow into Hated's back before sending him to the ropes. Darson bends over to lift Hated up, but the shogun knocks him back with a stiff kick to his chest. Hated charges Darson with some punches to the Samoan's face, hammering away as he moves him towards the ropes with each blow. The shogun pressures Darson up against them, switching from punches to knees to his gut, finally sending him to the opposite ropes. Hated goes for a lariat, but is stunned with a surprise CHARGING ELBOW!! In what looks like a flashback to the last match, Hated doesn't fall so easily, coming back full circle with a SHUFFLE-NO! Darson cuts Hated off by dodging to the left, hooking Hated's leg, and going for a Exploder Suplex! Unfortunately, Hated fires back with some headbutts to the face of the Samoan, leaving him reeling as Hated hooks both arms, calling for the Feature Pan-AXEHANDLE EUROCUT to the back of Hated's head. The shogun drops the mat, giving Darson a straight path to tagging out. Kal rushes after the shogun, but Hated rolls away, tagging in Ice! He comes at Kal with everything he's got, landing kicks, elbows, and other melee moves to keep the highlight at bay. Kal answer to this is none other than a chop to the smaller wrestler's chest which takes him off his barrage. Kal follows up with another chop, pulling Ice forward in a front facelock. The highlight stuffs Ice's abdomen full of knees while in this hold, then lifting him up into the air and keeping him up for mere seconds just as he did in the last match. The crowd once again shares a curious clap for the display of raw power Kal has. Kal is done toying with Ice and falls back to complete the Vertical Suplex, but Ice flips behind him, positioning for a neckbreaker! However, the highlight quickly whips around, pulling Ice down to hit a Reverse DDT! Kal quickly follows this up with a cover, 1...2...Ice kicks out.

Kal stands back up, looking over to his partner who gives him a nod, which Kal responds to with a nod of his own almost as if they have a secret code. The highlight goes straight into the plan that the AoA members must have, as he goes straight for the leg that was worked on in the last huge tag match. The highlight savagely yanks away at Ice's leg, snapping it back as he circles over to his head and then back to feet. Kal holds the leg in place, dropping down his elbow over it, pulling back on his ankle as his elbow grinds into Ice's knee. The Silver Flame smacks the canvas with his hands, starting to remember the pain that was inflicted last time. He tries to sit up and lock in a cross face, but Kal simply lifts his hands off his face, standing back up only to work the leg more with repeated knee drops to the kneecap of Ice. Kal smiles at his actions, dragging Ice over to his corner by the leg, allowing Darson to tag in, and take it from there. Ice seems to be in hot water now as the Samoan stomps away at the worked leg, picking him up as he smashes his elbow into the face of Ice, hurling him into the farthest corner, watching as his body whiplashes just as his back makes contact. Ice arches up on the canvas, feeling his spine throbbing with pain. Darson waits for the rising star to get back to his feet so he can take him out with a Lariat...but Ice catches the Samoan by the legs, dropping him face first on the top turnbuckle pad! While Darson drools over in the corner, Ice starts to reach out for his partner, slowly walking over to his corner when Kal's girlfriend Lana grabs hold of Ice's leg. The Silver Flame tries to fight her off, signaling for London to control the feisty diva. However, this distraction works out perfectly for Team AoA as Darson stops Ice before he can tag out with a Back Suplex! The fans boo Lana's tactics, knowing that Ice would've made the tag without her interference. Darson wipes away at his face, hooking Ice's leg into a Half Crab....with a little bit of SAMOAN CRANK!!! Ice is in deep trouble as he and Hated realize that his leg has once again become a target for the AoA. Ice's expression is priceless as he lets out small grunts, the pain slowly taking over him. The Silver Flame jerks his arms around, reaching for the ropes which are no where close to saving him.

Hated spits to the side, not appreciating the effort shown by Ice, so he takes matters into his own hands. Stepping into the ring he tries to break the hold, but the referee quickly directs Hated back to his corner, giving Kal the opening to step inside the ring while the ref's back is turned. Kal stomps away at Ice's head, running to the ropes and dropping a knee dead on it as he sneaks back to his corner without being caught. The fans boo heavily, but Hated just smirks, seeming to not care what happens to Ice just as long as he tags him in. Darson releases Ice's leg, pulling him back to his feet, and throwing him up on his shoulders where he uses his weight to crush Ice with a Samoan Drop! Darson doesn't go for the pin, following his move up with a SENTON that takes the air right out of Ice's lungs. The Samoan picks Ice up, carrying him over to the corner where he slams him up against the corner, making a clean tag to Kal. Killa steps in with his hands up as if he's innocent, keeping Ice in the corner and his chin in check with a beautiful EuroCut! Kal places his hand on Ice's shoulder, holding him in place for his classic chops. Kal finishes Ice off with one last raging chop, throwing him to the opposite corner, and following close behind. Ice grabs the top ropes, using them to leap himself over Kal! Unknown to Ice though is that Kal spotted this and catches Ice in mid air, walking around the ring with Ice on his shoulder as if he was a trophy. The highlight stops playing around, charging for the center of the ring and crashing Ice down to the canvas with a Powerslam! Kal digs his forearm into Ice's face as he pins him, 1...2...kick out! Kal isn't too impressed with this kick out and decides to have a second take, this time covering Ice's face with his knee as he covers him, 1...2...another kickout! With Ice still laying on the mat, Kal leaps into the air, crushing Ice's abdomen with his a**, raping him of his oxygen much like Darson did. Killa wastes no time, dragging Ice back over to the ropes, placing his worked leg on the bottom one. Keeping it in place with his foot, Kal jumps into the air, smashing Ice's leg with both his knee's. Killa walks around with that cocky smile, pointing down at Ice as he critics his work. "I'd give that s**t two hoes going down." Killa casually tags out as Darson realizes just who is he is in the ring with once more. Ice tries to crawl away, but Darson just mounts the rising star, trying to knock him out with vicious elbows to his face. Ice begins to go into defense mode, using his arms to protect his head, yet Darson continues to unleash his elbows upon the Silver Flame.

Darson backs off of Ice, turning him over and wrapping Ice's leg over his neck as he wrenches back in a dangerous Stretch Muffler. Using his massive strength advantage, Darson pulls Ice away from the center of the ring, over to his corner with the hold still locked in, tagging out to Kal who instantly captures Ice with a STF! Ice struggles to break free or get to the ropes, but Kal has him far too close to his corner, and has him facing away from them. Ice isn't too stupid to forget about his free leg however, and uses it to touch the ropes, forcing Kal to break the hold. Killa doesn't break it just yet, waiting for the ref to count to four till releasing Ice, and just as he does, he clubs away at Ice's head to keep him on the mat. The highlight arrogantly mocks Ice, allowing him to crawl towards his corner before running over and chopping Hated across his chest, knocking him off the apron. Killa trash talks Hated, knowing that it will get him heated, and it does as Hated tries to get into the ring, but the ref puts his attention on Hated. During this time, Darson has entered the ring, holding Ice down on the mat as he is seated for Kal, who comes off the ropes, killing Ice with a hard BOOT to Ice's face. The smack alone has the crowd cringing and booing at the same time. Darson is already in his corner by the time the ref turns around, Lana cheering Kal on as he covers Ice, 1..2...kick out! Kal is a bit frustrated by this, believing that crucial boot to the face should've been it, but doesn't sweat it too much. Killa has Ice back on his feet, who suddenly begins to fight back! The Silver Flame comes at Kal with hard kicks to his abdomen, punches to his jaw, and then a ARTIC-NO!! Kal smashes Ice into the corner, thrusting his shoulder deep into his gut, taking a few steps back and going for a LARIARTIC FLASH!!! Kal stumbles back, falling to his knee's, giving Ice the opening he's been looking for as the crowd goes crazy, and begins to chant his name. Ice runs forward, leaping for the...TAG TO HATED-SPINEBUSTAAAAAAAAAAHH!!! Killa gets a shower of jeers for killing the hopes of Ice and crowd, walking over to the head of Ice, preparing for the greatest move in Sports Entertainment. A move that instantly has him hated in the eyes of those fellow indy fans as he takes off arm band around his bicep as he throws it to some lucky fan. Kal runs to left, coming off the ropes and jumping over Ice's body, bouncing off the ropes from the right as he comes back, doing his pimp walk, brushing off his shoulder. He then yells, "Ballin!", and hits the STUNT 313!! Kal pins Ice immediately, 1...2...Ice kicks out somehow! Reserving his energy, Kal walks over to Ice and tags in Darson.
