2132.324 – BETRAYAL
Live from Flamewinds Observatory, Oseon!
Two cards! That’s all that remains in 2132! And tonight, we will find out who will challenge for the GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP at the big, end of the year SuperCard BIG BANG! Currently, the title is held by SHAYNE, but that could all change as SHAYNE has accepted the challenge of PERFECT SPECIMEN and they will fight later tonight!
The CROWD is on their feet as CATFIGHT and MAGGIE lead MONOLITH to the ring! There have been rumors flying around recently that there might just be a romantic link between MONOLITH and CATFIGHT! There’s no traces of that here tonight though as they are all business!
LORD NEXUS leads WITNESS to the ring and he is acting even more wound up than usual! Is he crazy? Is he drunk? No one knows, but LORD NEXUS shepherds him to the ring for the big opening match! The bell sounds and we are underway here at the Flamewinds!
GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP
NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TOURNAMENT
OPENING ROUND
TITAN DEATH RULES
Monolith d. Witness via pinfall with CATASTROPHE – **1/2 – Completely one sided. MONOLITH didn’t even break a sweat. There was a little offense by WITNESS but for the most part it was all MONOLITH. LORD NEXUS tries to corral WITNESS back to the back, but he’s ranting and raving, pointing at people in the audience.
WITNESS: I accuse you! I accuse you!
Weird. MONOLITH and CATFIGHT return to the back to wait for their next match.
The mysterious hooded figure is here leading NOSFERA to the ring. Eerie how calm and obedient NOSFERA is in regards to this mysterious hooded stranger.
DARK MENACE leads BISHOP HELL (II) to the ring. Gone is the campaigning, the smiles, the frivolity, replace by dour sadness at his election loss. BISHOP HELL (II) strikes a consoling tone as they walk towards the ring, but DARK MENACE ignores him.

Nosfera d. Bishop Hell (II) via pinfall after a perfect cross body block from the top rope – *** – Great back and forth here, but NOSFERA downs BISHOP HELL (II) and advances to the next round. While wild during the match, as soon as the bell rings, the mysterious hooded figure makes a few gestures with her hands and NOSFERA is silent once again. Obiedient. Follows the figure away from ringside.
DARK MENACE turns and begins walking to the back the moment the bell rings. It’s as if he is in a daze. He leaves BISHOP HELL (II) to collect himself and leave the ring alone.
GHENA is out, alone. He snarls at the crowd as he makes his way to the ring. Once he’s in it, the lights go out and ORACLE’S shining blue orb begins moving towards the ring. As the lights come back we see EYDILON climb into the ring for the next match in the tournament!

Ghena d. Eydilon via pinfall after GATES OF HELL – *** – HUGE win for GHENA here! He simply outwrestled EYDILON! Fans have taken notice now. GHENA was thought of just as a wild brawler, but this victory put him on the map for a lot of people tonight.
The blaring horns of the AETHRAN WAR ANTHEM BEGIN TO PLAY as THE LEVELER leads AETHRAN OVERMASTER to the ring. The fans are on their feet because they know who OVERMASTER’S OPPONENT is!
A huge cheer erupts as PAGANAX sprints to the ring. He’s holding aloft his flaming sword and is flailing it around as he does his custom two laps around the ring. The fans cannot wait for this encounter.

Aethran Overmaster d. Paganax via pinfall after REIGN OF THE OVERMASTER – ** – AETHRAN OVERMASTER shuts down PAGANAX’S quest for the GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP in dominant fashion. The fans boo the leader of the GLADIATORS but he could care less as he returns to the back.
CATFIGHT and MAGGIE lead MONOLITH out as we head into the SEMI-FINAL round. Only four men left and, just like CIVIL WAR, SLY DRURY has fiddled with the bracket a bit to mix things up! GHENA returns to the ring looking ready to face the big man. This is the first time these two have met in the ring!

Monolith d. Ghena via pinfall with a lung demolisher – ***** – WOW! GHENA takes MONOLITH to the limit! The big man is finally able to put GHENA away, but what a match. This was certainly not a cakewalk and MONOLITH looks a little worse for wear headed into the finals! Definitely the match of GHENA’S career. He even gets a few cheers as he limps away from ringside.
The mysterious hooded figure leads NOSFERA to the ring for our next match. He stands patiently in the ring as the AETHRAN WAR ANTHEM blares again and AETHRAN OVERMASTER heads to the ring with THE LEVELER. Two former champions going head to head! This is a MAIN EVENT anywhere and it isn’t even the MAIN EVENT!

Nosfera d. Aethran Overmaster via pinfall using Panic In The Streets – *** – Everyone got involved in this one including THE LEVELER and the mysterious hooded figure! NOSFERA, under the direction of his manager, wrestlers smarter and gets the victory placing him into the finals agains MONOLITH. AETHRAN OVERMASTER did a number on the demon, though, so it’ll be interesting to see how he fares agains the ANI-MAN in the finals!
PERFECT SPECIMEN is out with LORD NEXUS and the CROWD is rabid! These fans have waited to see PERFECT SPECIMEN get his title shot for months now and this is it! He stands ready in the ring, waiting for SHAYNE!
The sound of a lone dobro plays and SHAYNE is out on horseback, with FHANNA training behind. He is all cocky smiles and swagger as he steps into the ring and hands the title to the ref. The fans cannot wait!
GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Shayne d. Perfect Specimen via submission when Perfect Specimen is no longer able to continue – ***** – MATCH OF THE YEAR! This one was excitement from top to bottom! So many near falls for either side! Towards the end of the match, SHAYNE hit FRONTIER JUSTICE and PERFECT SPECIMEN was unable to respond to the ref’s questions, giving SHAYNE the victory. Both men bloodied and bruised by the final bell. There is no one, no one, who has given SHAYNE as hard a time as he had tonight. The fans want a rematch for sure, but SHAYNE will head to BIG BANG as champion and will face one of the two men in our MAIN EVENT.
MONOLITH and NOSFERA both looked haggard as they head to the ring. Their managers are in opposite corners as they stand face to face in the ring. One of these men, has a date with destiny! The ref calls for the bell!

Nosfera d. Monolith via pinfall after THE DEMON’S BREATH – ** – NOSFERA is back on top and is headed to BIG BANG to take on SHAYNE for the GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP! The mysterious hooded figure enters the ring and NOSFERA is instantly calm. The figure raises their hands and NOSFERA drops to one knee! The question on everyone’s minds is just who is this mastermind that has led the demon back to BIG BANG?! That mystery will have to wait as we…
