2135.394 – BETRAYAL
Live from Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Deimos!
It’s the penultimate card of 2135! Tonight, eight competitors will battle it out in a single elimination tournament to determine the number one contender to the GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP currently held by Aethran Overmaster. We have been told that the brackets tonight were seeded by Godsend himself, though he is absent from the proceedings tonight. Presumably this is due to his injury at the hands of Perfect Specimen.
Out together come Endgame and Ghena. No one is sure why both are coming out until it is announced that they must face each other in the opener! Neither Commander Sam nor Massif join them. They step into the ring and shake hands. The ref signals for the bell.

Endgame d. Ghena via submission with the ROLLING FIGURE FOUR – **1/2 – Nice fight put up by Ghena but he was no match for Endgame. The two shook hands afterwards as a sign of defiance against Godsend.

In more Godsend chicanery, Sly Drury and Shayne are out next, facing each other in the final first round match. No shaking hands here. These two both want to win.

Perfect Specimen goes into the finals.

Monolith d. Shayne via pinfall after CATASTROPHE – ***** – Match of the Year! Has to be. This one was incredible! At one point the ref got knocked out and Shayne hit SHOWDOWN after SHOWDOWN on Monolith but with the ref out there was no one to make the count. Monolith staggered to his feet and hit CATASTROPHE out of nowhere to win and advance to the finals.

Perfect Specimen d. Monolith via pinfall with PINNACLE OF SUCCESS – ***** – For how beat down Monolith was from the previous match, he put in a solid performance here. Perfect Specimen outlasted him and heads into BIG BANG to face Aethran Overmaster! The crowd loves every bit of it.
Suddenly the lights flicker and Godsend’s face appears on the HoloVision screens.
GODSEND: Yes, yes. Congratulations Spec. (He laughs.) That’s all you are too, huh? A speck. Well never mind, you now go on to wrestle in the Main Event of BIG BANG. Or should I say, THE CASTILEX BIG BANG? Because this year, for the first time in decades, BIG BANG will not be held on Deimos. It’ll be held here. On Castilex.
The hometown crowd hates this.
GODSEND: Oh and that main event between you, Speck, the reluctant CASTILEX HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION and Aethran Overmaster, the GALAXIAN CHAMPION, will be a TITAN DEATH MATCH so there is a clear winner. (He grins maniacally.) And one more thing. That match with be Title vs. Title!
The crowd is agog as we…
