-----------------

All 5 superstars are in the ring. They look at each other and around the cage walls wrapped with barbed wire, making it harder to climb them and even more painful to hit them. There are few trash cans in the corners of the ring, filled with all kinds of weapons and random items. The celling of the cage slowly lowers down, locking all Fighty fighty persons inside for the next 10 minutes. Few moments later, the bell rings...

Bret's eyes shift around the ring to each member of the match with him, he then darts his attention to the rings outside of his, knowing he's going to end up fighting 2 from each ring. His attention quickly turns back to his ring as Dave Carter is quickly rushing across the ring to start an early attack. Bret ducks a clothesline and turns around into a spinning kick from The Lightning. Bret stumbles back slightly, dazed, before shaking off the hit and returning with an offensive of his own, throwing a hard right hand and missing completely as Dave retorts with a right of his own, sending Bret stumbling back into the cage. Dave grins lightly to himself before leaping at Bret and splashing into him, driving the barbs of the wire around the cage deeper into his back. Bret cries out in agony as Dave pulls back and turns to see Black Dragon receiving a double team attack from Metal Dragon and Emblem.

JP: Dave just took the newcomer Bret out in the very beginning of the match. I've only just seen him and I already dont like him. He has a cocky demeanor.

Ray: I think he's sexy! I mean look at those pecs and that butt. Just... Wow...

JP: Y'know what, I think I'll put up with it... FOR NOW...

Black Dragon does his best to fend of the double teamers, throwing lefts and rights as often as he can afford while still blocking their attacks. After a few more moments, there is a break in the attacks and Black Dragon uncovers himself to see Dave Carter grinning and dusting off his hands from his handy work, he then turns to Black Dragon only to receive a hefty big boot, planting him to the mat. Black Dragon follows his onslaught by running over to MD and Emblem and leaping into the air, splashing down on the two downed men with a huge impact. As he returns to his feet to turn his attack on Dave, completely forgetting about Bret, Bret reminds him of his presence with a light tube across the face of Black Dragon, temporarily blinding him.

JP: What a move by Bret Baxton! I really dont like that name, it just sounds.... Evil... *JP shudders* Oh well, that kid really seems to be putting it to the veterans.

Ray: Y'know I think that Black Dragon looks a lot like Human Wreckingball now that I get a really good look at him... Hmmm, sickening resemblence. That means Human Wreckingball took such a sexy look and turned it into nothing by being a good guy... It's depressing really.

Bret takes this point and runs with it as he moves over to a trash can and heaves it over his head before running at Black Dragon and releasing the can with an added push, sending the can crashing into the big man and down to the ground on top of Black Dragon. Bret quickly moves over to the trash can on top of BD and begins to search around in it only to receive a steel chair to the back of the head, he drops hard to the ground next to BD as Emblem drops the chair on Bret, a grin stretched across his face. Emblem turns around and sees MD and Dave both getting to their feet, he looks around the ring quickly and sees a baseball bat which he grabs stealthily before spinning to his opponents and running at them as they shake off the dizzies. Emblem swings hard for Metal Dragon, connecting with his ribs but losing the bat in MDs arm as he grips it tight, whilst falling to the ground. Emblem looks at his hands then back to Dave Carter before leaping into the air with a drop kick, connecting and sending Dave tumbling back into the cage with a rattle.

JP: This match is REALLY getting underway folks, men are falling and getting back up, nothing seems to be able to stop them from continuing just yet!

Ray: Well DUH! It's just started silly!

Emblem jumps to his feet and looks around the ring before back at the clock, a sigh escapes his lips with so much time left before the 10 minute mark and the escape attempt. He then turns back to his competitors, as Black Dragon is standing at full height, the garbage can that hit him, high over his head. He powerfully tosses the can at Emblem who ducks under it, allowing it to slam into the side of the cage, rumbling the entire arena practically. Emblem swipes at the sweat on his forehead before shooting up into a bear hug from Black Dragon who's laughing maniacally.

JP: What a show of power AND insanity by Black Dragon, I could swear that hit rumbled all four cages. And now this evil laughter after catching Emblem in this bear hug. Nothing 'll surprise me these days I swear.

Ray: What about this?! *Ray pulls out a picture of Amanda and kisses it*

JP: *with a surprised look on his face* Ok, that surprised me...

Ray: Good *Ray spits on the ground and tosses the picture behind him* That was disgusting!

As Black Dragon continues to apply pressure to the spine of Emblem, Metal Dragon climbs to his feet and sees this and moves in to break it up. But before he can get there, Bret leaps in front of him and spins a nightstick around in his hand with a grin on his face. Metal Dragon laughs lightly at the small stick and puts a finger up motioning for Bret to hold on a second, he then moves over to a trash can and grabs a kendo stick from it before holding it out in front of himself. Bret motions for him to attack and he does, swinging down hard, only to have Bret block the attack and swing the sword away quickly before jabbing the small point of the night stick, thats sticking out an inch from his fist, into the chest of Metal Dragon with a small laugh. Metal Dragon takes the hint and turns the small attack into an all out assault with Bret blocking each move with his night stick without the slightest wince of pain. Metal Dragon moves in to strike again and Bret blocks the sword, grabs it with his free hand and delivers a painful chop from the night stick to Metal Dragons chest. MD stumbles back, dropping the sword, as Bret advances only to have Dave step in. Meanwhile BD has been forced out of the bear hug by a series of axe handles to the head by Emblem. The fight between the two veterans continues as Bret continues to attempt to fight off Metal Dragon and Dave Carter.

JP: What a turn of events, Emblem has freed himself from the bear hug and Dave Carter SEEMS to be teaming with Metal Dragon at the moment to combat a common enemy in Bret Baxton.

Ray: Get 'em Bret! You beat them down HARD!

Bret ducks a punch from Dave and rolls away from him only to roll in front of Metal Dragon, Bret quickly delivers a kick to the midsection before rolling away from Metal Dragon. As he pops up, a look of surprise is again on his face at the sight of Dave Carter. Bret quickly spins the night stick out and swings it at Dave but Dave catches it with a wince of pain and punches Bret in the nose with the other hand. Bret stumbles back without the night stick and growls loudly as Dave handles the night stick rather foolishly, using it primarily as a club. Bret dives by Dave, sliding along the ground before sliding between Metal Dragons legs and flipping to his back side, he delivers a devastating kick to the big mans family jewels before jumping up and facing Dave Carter with a grin of accomplishment. The fans boo loudly at this display of idiocracy as Bret dances around the ring faking kicks towards Daves family jewels.

JP: Bret better watch out, I dont think anyone thinks this is funny at all.

Ray: I thought it was hilarious!

Bret continues to dance around before being stopped by a clothesline from Black Dragon who gives Dave Carter a slight nod before returning to a downed Emblem. He hoists Emblem to his feet before receiving a stomp to the toe and a quick punch to the jaw from Emblem who laughs lightly at the foolish move he just performed. He then goes to punch Black Dragon again when The Lightning moves in and hooks an arm under his before slamming him down to the ground with a thud. Dave pops to his feet and turns around giving BD a nod of, "we're even", and then leaping through the air with a heavy left hand, connecting with the nose of BD and sending him stumbling back, tears welling up in his eyes from the impact and blood trickling down from his nose. BD swipes at his nose and raises a fist before delivering a powerful right hook to Dave Carter, dropping him to the mat. BD then turns around to see MD slowly standing up favoring his testicles, he lets out a small chuckle before moving towards him, MD gives his bruised buddies one last rub before looking up at Black Dragon and dodging a Clothesline only to give him a back heel kick face first into the cage wall. MD capitalizes on this by moving in quickly and kicking BDs feet out from under him, forcing him to quickly slide down the cage ripping his chest and face open with ease.

JP: Look at that! Black Dragon is the first man to receive a Crimson Face Mask in this match and it's at the hands of the man that just received a kick to the whole kit 'n caboodle.

Ray: Poor poor MD, but hey! Who cares?

MD slowly looks around the ring and sees Emblem standing to his feet, he's got his target marked in his mind and a grin stretches across his face as he moves towards him. Emblem slowly stands up and rubs his head before looking up into the quickly approaching form of Metal Dragon, out of instinct Emblem drops to the ground and performs a perfect russian leg sweep on Metal Dragon, planting his face right in front of one of the fallen trash cans. Emblem jumps to his feet only to be knocked down again by a broom head pulling his feet out from under him. Emblem groans lightly as Metal Dragon mounts him and begins a flurry of punches. Emblem does his best to block the attack for a bit when Bret comes out of nowhere and drives a knee into the side of the head of Metal Dragon who quickly looks up from his position on the canvas only to have his eyes see only red at the sight of Bret Baxton, he growls loudly and leaps to his feet startling Bret slightly.

JP: HA! Finally, he's going to get what he's got comin to 'im.

Ray: NO! Get a ref in there, protect his beautiful body and face! Stop the match!

Bret swings wildly for MD's face but misses by a lot, sending him stumbling slightly towards MD who quickly jabs a right into the jaw of Bret. Bret shakes off the jab only to receive a second, dizzying him slightly. He attempts to shake off that hit when MD levels him with a heavy left hook, sending him falling to the mat. MD doesnt stop his attack there when he quickly leans down and picks Bret up before whipping him hard into the cage wall, rattling the cage, Bret goes to bounce back but MD grabs the back of his head and shoves his face back into the wall before grinding it along the barbed wire. Bret lets out screams of pain as blood begins to drip from the open wounds on his face, he quickly places his hands one the barbed wire and pushes himself away from it as MD continues to press into the back of his head, attempting to force him back into the cage wall.

[Dave Carter]

A bit further in the ring, Dave and Emblem are both back on their feet and looking at Metal Dragon brutalizing Brett's face into the barbed wire. They turn to each other and Dave points to MD, shouting something at Emblem. The Impulsive One just nods. Almost without words Emblem and Dave understand each other. The next moment, Carter launches himself toward the ropes, that are opposite from MD and Brett, while Emblem runs to the center of the ring and drops onto his knees, at the same time planting both hands on the mat. The Lightning bounces of the ropes and runs toward Emblem. When near him, Dave plants one of his foots on Emblem's back and uses it to springboard and elevate himself high in the air, while flying toward Metal Dragon and Brett Baxton at the same time. In mid-air, Dave bends his legs over the knees and over hips, thus putting his legs a bit in front of his upper body. This causes Dave's knees smash into MD's and Brett's heads, at the same time forcing them into the cage wall and barbed wire that is wrapped around it. The impact of Dave's knee smash is strong enough not to just cause some serious headache to two of his opponents, but also presses their faces up against the sharp wire, tearing the metal spikes into their skin and flesh. Carter nearly suffers the same fate, put rises and crosses his arms in front of his face the last second, so the barbed wire only rips his forearms. All three man then fall backwards, hitting the canvas nearly the same time with a thud, shaking the whole ring.

~~JP~~
Oh my god! With the help of Emblem, Dave could have very well took out Brett and Metal Dragon for the time, taking himself out in the process as well.

~~Ray~~
That was very stupid thing to do. And not nice, I mean he damaged their faces!

Emblem, who now seems to be the only man standing, smiles in amazement how one flight took three of his opponents down. Yet, unfortunately for him, The Impulsive One is not the only man standing. At least not anymore. Black Dragon is finally back on both of his feet and has his eyes locked on Emblem. But before making any move, BD, still feeling some effect from having his face and chest ripped open, stumbles toward the nearest corner and the trash can that stand there. He leans toward it, putting his hand inside, searching for something. A moment later, he pulls his arm out with the hand holding a big wrench. And evil grin covers BD's face as he looks at it. Right at the same time Emblem remembers Black Dragon and turns around, but is too late, as BD is already storming at him, holding the wrench with both hands. He then swings both his arms up and aside at the same time, nailing the metal wrench into the forehead of the Impulsive One, knocking him down instantly. Emblem grabs his face with both hands and feels some sort of liquid dripping down his fingers. It's his own blood as the wrench connecting with his head busted Emblem wide open. Alas, his problems doesn't end here. As he tries to sit up, whipping the blood of his eyes and eyebrows, he suddenly feels a boot hitting his hands, only thing that saved Emblem from the boot hitting his face. The impact sends Emblem back into horizontal position and hitting the canvas with the back of his head. The boot was Black Dragon's and now the same man drops on his knees, putting the side of the metal wrench against the Impulsive One's throat and pushing it down with both hands, thus choking Emblem.

~~JP~~
Black Dragon is using that wrench to choke the life out of Emblem.

~~Ray~~
That's pretty smart if you ask me. Without air, Emblem will soon lose consciousness. And if he is unconscious, he won't be able to climb out of this cage, thus Black Dragon will have one opponent less.

At the same time, Dave is slowly getting back up into vertical stance. As he does he looks at BD and Emblem and only just smiles. Instead of helping his former friend, Carter leaves Emblem in Black Dragon's hands, not caring a bit for the Impulsive One. Instead he focuses on Brett and MD. Dave walks over the nearest trash can kicks it in the side, throwing it down. The whole content of the can spread across the mat, while The Lightning picks up the trash can itself. He then moves back toward his still downed opponents. Brett Baxton slowly has started to rise up, but only got on his knees, as he gasps for air. Dave approaches him, putting the trash can nearby, and squats down, looking straight to Brett's bloody face with a grin in his own face. Dave then begins to trash talk Baxton for few seconds before slapping him hard across the face with his right hand. This angers the newcomer and he goes to stand up, but before he could do so, Dave is in vertical stance already. He grabs the trash can and flips it over, putting the can on Brett. Baxton tries to free himself, but The Lightning begins to punch the trash can with lightning quick punches, dizzying his opponent. Carter then quickly pushes Brett backwards into the corner. When there, Dave lifts his left leg up and thrusts it forward, sending his left foot into the guts of Baxton. He then swings his right arm, sending a hard punch to the side of the can as well, thus dizzying the newcomer even more.

~~JP~~
It seems Dave is planning something here and I don't really like what it is.

~~Ray~~
Me neither. Especially since it probably involves damaging poor Brett.

~~JP~~
Indeed, Brett seems to be in some trouble here. I'm still not sure what happened to Dave, what is going on in his mind, but tonight... when he attacked Rhaps and Vlad.. he changed by 180 degrees. This new Carter is a lot more vicious and seems to not give a damn about anything.

~~Ray~~
Well he finally has grown out of his kid games. Good for him!

Dave turns away from Brett Baxton and moves toward Metal Dragon, who is nearly back up on both of his feet. MD slowly begins to turn around, his eyes searching for other participants in the match. But instead of other Fighty fighty persons, his eyes find a closed fist flying his way. The knuckles of the fist connect with the side of MD's face, sending him stumbling backwards. Metal Dragon now sees that it's Dave's fist, but before he can do anything about it, he feels another fist nailing him in the face. After this one, Dave grabs Metal Dragon's arm and pulls him toward himself, revealing his plan of trying to whip MD into Brett, who is still trapped with trash can on him. What The Lightning didn't expect is that his plan might turn against him and it does, as MD finds some additional strength in himself, reversing the irish whip and instead sending Dave himself flying in to Baxton. The impact of Dave hitting the can transfers into Brett as well and the problems of these two men down just end there. Right after Dave hits Brett, Metal Dragon launches himself forward toward them, leaping up when near and drawing his shoulder into Carter's guts, nailing him even more into the trash can and leave a carnage from the bodies of Brett and Dave.

~~JP~~
DragonFire! What an impact! Metal Dragon just pretty much speared both Brett Baxton and Dave Carter, leaving them down and out.

~~Ray~~
That was quite impressive... That should really create some serious pain in Dave's stomach and don't even get me started what it did to my poor Brettie.

~~JP~~
Brettie?

~~Ray~~
That's my pet name for him.

~~JP~~
I can't believe it, but you still manage to surprise me after all...

[Metal Dragon]

MD gets back to his feet as BD turns his attention from Emblem to the TV Champion. The two men stare down for a moment as the other three competitors stir on the ground. MD punches BD in the stomach and BD responds with a right hand to MD's face before grabbing his arm and slinging him into the corner. MD hits the turnbuckle stomach-first and staggers out of it as BD immediately runs up behind MD and throws his arm out, delivering a clothesline to the back of MD's head as MD hits the mat with a thud. Emblem gets to his feet and runs at BD as he turns around, and BD throws his boot up to try to boot Emblem in the face, but Emblem ducks under it and jumps onto the second rope before coming off of it and kicking both legs out to connect with a Dropkick to BD's chest as BD falls down. Bret and Dave get up on their side of the ring as a dazed MD gets to his feet in his corner. MD and Emblem approach Bret and Dave in the center of the ring as BD begins getting up. MD kicks Bret in the stomach as Dave kicks Emblem in the gut as MD grabs Bret's waist and wraps his other arm around Bret's head before falling backward and snapping Bret overhead. MD gets up after the Snap Suplex to see that Dave has Emblem's head in between his legs and is walking over to MD. MD grabs Emblem's waist as Dave tries to lift Emblem up for a double powerbomb but Emblem kicks MD in the groin, making MD fall to the ground in pain, and headbutts Dave in the groin immediately afterward before sliding his head free and turning around while wrapping the doubled-over Dave's head under his arm and jumping forward, dropping Emblem's head onto MD's as the two men's skulls clack together. BD pulls a kendo stick out of a nearby trash can as Emblem turns around and smacks the kendo stick across the Impulsive One's forehead. Emblem stumbles backward as Bret gets up behind him and immediately weaves an arm through Emblem's armpit while placing his other hand on the back of Emblem's head and falls backward, suplexing Emblem backward with him. BD grabs a light tube out of the trash can as MD and Dave get up and turn to face BD.

JP: "Emblem just ate a Half Nelson Suplex over in Cage 4! All of what's going on is impossible to commentate!"

Ray: "Too much action, boys! Slow it down a bit!"

MD and Dave both take a step toward BD who grabs another light tube out of the trash can. BD swings both light tubes at the same time as both men duck the respective tubes intended for them and roll forward behind BD. Dave jumps and kicks BD in the spine with both legs, making BD stumble forward as MD peeks into the trash can and smirks for a moment before turning his attention back to BD, who turns around swinging a light tube at Dave which is ducked again. BD immediately swings the other one at Dave as he dodges the first one and smashes it on Dave's back. BD takes a step toward MD and smashes his other tube on MD's forehead. MD falls back onto the mat as BD turns toward Dave, who kicks BD in the stomach, and then the groin, before running to the ropes and bouncing off before jumping over BD and stomping both feet on BD's back as the members of the crowd who noticed it shout "1UP!" and MD gets to his feet. BD lies face-down on the ground as MD pulls a pair of scissors out of the trash can, the item he was eagerly eyeing earlier, before sliding on top of BD and trapping BD's arms under his legs before holding both the scissors open with both arms and locking them on BD's forehead and pulling back as Dave grimaces at the sight before turning his attention to Bret and Emblem who are trading punches on the other side of the cage.

"CROSSFACE WITH THE SCISSORS! The sick mind of Metal Dragon is having a hell of a brainstorm!"

"Nooooo! Don't leave an ugly scar on those beautiful features!"

"Ray, these men will have plenty of scars on them after this chaos is over with!"

Emblem delivers a right then a left to Bret before grabbing his arm and whipping him to the far ropes. Bret bounces off of the far ropes and the conveniently placed Dave jumps and wraps his legs around Bret's head before flipping backward, dragging Bret over his head. Emblem jumps onto the top rope after Dave's Hurricanrana left Bret lying prone and springs into the air with one arm bent and crashes his elbow down onto Bret's chest. MD removes the scissors from BD's forehead and walks over to the other four men, the thoughts of what his trusty pair of blades can do to torture them. MD pulls Bret up by the hair as Dave and Emblem look on before closing the scissors and loading his arm, but Bret hits MD's bicep to block the scissor jab with one arm and punches MD in the gut with his free arm. Bret then ducks under MD's arm and applies a rear waistlock before falling backward, giving MD a German Suplex that makes him drop the scissors on impact. Bret rolls over and tries to get to the scissors but Dave rushes over and puts his foot on them before kicking Bret in the face with his other foot as Emblem pulls MD to his feet.

"They're fighting over those scissors!"

"There are some butch girls I know who also-"

"Say no more."

BD gets up on his side of the ring, blood running down his face from the earlier assault with the scissors, and pulls a baseball bat out of a trash can before tipping the can over and taking the empty can, leaving a pile of weapons lying on the mat for later use. BD walks toward his four adversaries and drops his weapons on the ground before grabbing Emblem's shoulder and turning him around before he can do anything to MD. BD kicks Emblem in the stomach and locks Emblem's head under his arm before sitting down to plant Emblem's head into the mat, then pulls Emblem up by the waist after the DDT and puts the trash can over his upper body. BD then picks up his bat and delivers a huge swing to the Emblem-filled trash can, putting a huge dent in the can as Emblem goes right back down to the mat. Emblem lies motionless as Dave picks the scissors up from under his feet and advances toward BD, who turns around to greet Dave with a swing of the bat that Dave ducks. Dave then quickly traps BD's legs with his own and trips BD forward as MD gets out of his daze and grabs a barbed wire 2x4 out of a trash can that is conveniently standing next to him. MD advances toward Dave with the 2x4 and swings at Dave but Dave ducks and tries to jab at MD with the scissors but MD slides back to avoid it. Dave advances toward MD again and MD fakes a swing and Dave ducks before MD immediately ejects the 2x4 from his hands and it hits Dave in the face. MD turns toward Bret who has gotten to his feet and kicks Bret in the stomach but Bret catches it and MD swings his leg up in the air to try an Enziguiri but Bret ducks and immediately drops MD's leg before grabbing MD's head and arm and walking him over to the ropes, then throwing MD face-first into a piece of barbed wire intertwined into the cage wall. Bret then turns his attention to Dave and swings a punch at Dave that is blocked before Dave grabs Bret by the throat and sweeps one leg to take Bret down, then Dave begins repeatedly jabbing Bret in the face with the closed pair of scissors for a few seconds.

BD pulls the trash can off of Emblem and pulls him to his feet before walking him over to the barbed wire 2x4 that MD used earlier. BD sticks Emblem's head in between his legs before lifting him up onto his shoulders in a powerbomb position then raises his arms to elevate Emblem more, but Emblem kicks BD in the face and then fights free of BD's grasp to wrap his legs around BD's head and apply a standing head scissors, leaning back to apply more pressure. BD, fighting for air, grasps Emblem's head under his arm and falls forward, slamming Emblem's back onto the barbed wire 2x4.

"Emblem counters the Go To Hell into a triangle choke and Black Dragon counters it with a powerslam onto that barbed wire plank!"

Bret lies on the mat with a bloodied face as Dave stands over him wiping the scissors off on his pants and MD gets up. Dave turns around to face MD only to have MD kick him in the stomach and tuck his head under his arm before falling back to land a DDT. MD snatches the scissors from the downed Dave's hand and walks over to Bret as he stirs on the ground. MD picks up Bret's leg and holds it straight before opening the scissors and placing them on Bret's knee, then placing his own thigh on top of the scissors and pulling Bret's knee up into his thigh as Bret screams in pain. MD holds the knee bar with the scissors for a few seconds before letting go and pitching the scissors to the side. MD backs up right into Dave, who wraps his arm around the TV Champion's head and uses his leg to sweep MD backwards. Dave then grabs MD by the hair and pulls him to his feet before grabbing his arm and whipping him into the corner. Dave grabs a chair off of the mat near the ropes as MD turns around and Dave swings the chair overhead, cracking it on MD's skull. MD falls limply to the mat as Dave takes the chair and climbs up the turnbuckles with it in his grasp before turning to face MD with the chair held against his stomach. Dave leaps off of the top turnbuckle and performs a backflip in the air before turning over again and landing his stomach onto MD, the chair being sandwiched between the two men.

"Whoa! The Lightning on Metal Dragon with a freakin' chair!"

"I envy where that chair is right now!"

((OOC: It's been three days, I was watching the counter closely...))

Black Dragon slowly rises to his feet and looks around the arena before zeroing back in on Emblem who's groaning and gripping tightly at his back in agony. He grins to himself before leaning down to hoist Emblem to his feet, but as he does this Emblem shoots a kick up from the mat, nailing BD in the head. BD stumbles slightly, swiping at his eyes, before looking back towards Emblem who's kicked up to his feet in one swift motion. Emblem grins lightly, rubbing at his back, before faking one way and leaping the other before stepping up on BDs thigh and performing a flawless Enziguiri. He does a small flip in the air before landing and shooting a gaze around the ring to Bret who seems to have been trying to stand upright for quite a bit now. He finally makes it to his feet, putting slight pressure on his knee before shaking it lightly and putting full pressure on it, he hobbles around in a circle a bit, focused completely on his knee, before looking up into the eyes of Emblem. Emblem quickly knees Bret in the stomach before grabbing the waistband of his jeans and hoisting him up into a Stall Suplex.

JP: It's not every day that our Emblem gets to do a Stall Suplex on someone. I bet he's glad he's fighting someone his size.

Ray: I'm not... They need to stop beating up on eachother... I cant watch this anymore!

Bret struggles slightly in the air, but only enough to throw Emblem slightly off balance, causing him to bring Bret down on his back HARD. The crowd lets out a loud 'OOOOO' from the impact as Emblem rolls over and slowly stands up, his hand on his lower back. He looks down at the wreckage he's caused and laughs lightly to himself before looking over at Dave who's slowly getting up from his exchange with MD. He then darts his eyes over to BD who's recovered from the Enziguiri and thinks for a moment to himself. He then yells something to Dave and both look at BD before a grin stretches across their faces and they both move in on the big man to take him out. Emblem runs at BD and performs a running cross body block, causing BD to lose some balance, before Dave comes in out of nowhere with a flying missile drop kick to the head of Black Dragon, or so he had hoped. Black Dragon saw that coming and quickly side stepped the missile drop kick before hooking an arm over Daves head as he passed and falling quickly to the mat in a bull dog style move. BD shoots up from the bull dog and the downed form of Dave Carter before looking over at Emblem who's recovered and surprised from the turn of events that just unfolded.

JP: Wow what a move by Black Dragon, he's spent a good portion of this match getting double teamed because of his size and finally he's REALLY turned it around on the others just by thinking before doing things.

Ray: What?

JP: Did I say too much for you Ray?

Emblem quickly thinks to himself, not knowing what to do before he shoots a gaze over to Metal Dragon who's slowly recovering from his barrage of attacks. He then shoots his gaze back to Black Dragon before running over to MD and hoisting him the rest of the way to his feet. MD stumbles and falls back towards the turnbuckle before resting there, trying to regain himself. Emblem growls lightly, thinking his plan failed before he begins an all out assault on Black Dragon. He quickly runs at him, throwing a knee straight for the stomach of the big man but he's stopped mid air by a painful knee breaker from Bret Baxton. Bret then rolls away and looks around the ring before spotting his night stick and rolling to it. He then shoots up into the face of Black Dragon, feeling a bit surprised, he stares up into the eyes of the big man and growls before looking at his night stick, then to his bloodied knee. He then looks at the rest of the men in the ring before back to Black Dragon who followed his gaze the whole way. Black Dragon and Bret exchange a nod and an unspoken agreement before splitting off away from eachother to almost work together. Black Dragon moves over towards Emblem to continue their fight, picking him up and throwing him across the ring into the barbed wire cage.

JP: Wow, who ever expected to see something like this folks? The newbie Bret Baxton forming an in ring alliance with the big man himself Black Dragon. This is just unheard of.

Ray: Well, it's always a good idea for two sexy men to get together... Err.. I mean work together...

Where as Bret moves directly to the recovering Metal Dragon, he leans down and looks MD right in his eyes before hoisting him to his feet. He screams something at the TV Champ, along the lines of 'FIGHT ME!', before slapping him in the face, not to hurt him but more or less to wake him up. MD shakes his head violently and glares at Bret before taking a swing for him, a grimace moves across his face as Bret blocks the attack with the night stick before shaking his head. He then rolls away and grabs a kendo stick and throws it to MD, who takes the hint. Bret then rushes at MD and throws his arm into the kendo stick, the sound of wood cracking together echoes in the 4 cages. Bret then brings a knee up into the stomach of MD before rolling away from the champ. MD quickly swings the Kendo stick at the new comer, bringing it hard across his body, Bret doesnt see this attack coming and the kendo smashes hard into his ribs, a cry of agony escaping his lips as he stumbles to the side. Bret attempts to shrug off the hit and continues the small arms fight with MD, he quickly spins, mid-advance and powers his forarm into the shoulder of Metal Dragon with a sickening thud and cry of pain from Metal Dragon. Bret spins again on his toe before slamming his bare forearm into a block by the kendo stick. Bret cries out in agony again before rolling away from Metal Dragon, holding his arm. He shakes off the hit once more before moving in on MD again, this time the fight is interupted by Dave Carter who throws a trash can at the back of Bret Baxton.

JP: I must admit, that small-arms fight between Bret Baxton and Metal Dragon was really getting interesting before Dave had to go and ruin it.

Ray: Dave better look out, I think Metal Dragon was looking forward to a fair fight.

MD looks up from the downed body of Baxton to the grinning features of Dave Carter and growls. He quickly rushes The Lightning and swings the kendo stick hard for Carter, aiming for his ribs. Carter wasnt expecting this turn of events and ends up taking the hit to the ribs with a cracking sound following the impact and a growl of pain following the cracking. Dave Carter stumbles to the side before his knees weaken and loses strength in the left side of his body, falling to one knee. MD laughs at what he's done before turning back towards Bret to finish his fight, as he does Emblem comes barreling out of nowhere and slams into Metal Dragon as BD dusts his hands off with a grin on his face. He then moves over to the side of his unspoken partner and checks on him, he touches his shoulder and Bret shoots up from his lying position before glaring at Black Dragon as he forces himself to his feet. He then looks around at the three other bodies strewn about before looking up at the clock with a groan.

JP: Wow, I cant believe these two cleared the ring for a moment and still havent begun swinging on eachother...

Ray: I give it a few more seconds JP, they'll get bored... Unless the ring opens up and they can escape.

[Metal Dragon]

BD and Bret look at each other before slowly advancing toward each other, meeting in the center of the ring to size each other up before Bret shoves BD, not moving him much. BD shoves back, sending Bret back a few steps before he regains his ground.

JP: "Bret is gonna try to pick a fight with someone bigger, stronger, and more experienced. What, did he leave his brain backstage?"

Ray: "He's brave. I like brave men."

Bret punches BD repeatedly and succeeds in backing the larger man to the ropes before grabbing BD's arm and whipping him across the ring to the far ropes. Bret grabs a steel chair off of the ground and readies it as BD makes his return trip but BD raises his boot in the air and kicks Bret in the face, making Bret fall back and flip backward onto his stomach from the impact while dropping his chair. BD picks the chair up as the dazed Bret tries to push himself up and delivers a huge chair shot to Bret's back that sends him right back down to the mat. Dave, Emblem, and MD all get to their feet and approach BD as BD readies the chair to hit whichever one of them is foolish enough to face him first before Dave and Emblem shove MD forward and BD strikes MD in the head with the chair. Dave and Emblem immediately run forward and both jump in the air and kick their legs out, simultaneously dropkicking BD in the chest and sending him to the mat. Carter and Emblem then run to opposite ropes and run toward the center of the ring where MD lies sprawled out before Dave somersaults and jumps to land backfirst on MD's stomach and Emblem jumps and drops a leg across MD's throat. Bret gets up and stumbles over to a trash can then pulls a strand of light tubes somehow strung along a length of barbed wire out of it while pondering how to use them, finally deciding to lay the ingenious weapon down in a heap next to MD.

"Let's see what Baxton has planned with that string of lightbulbs there."

"No! Don't do it to my precious TV Champ!"

Bret grabs MD by the hair and pulls him up to his feet before going down to scoop MD up between the legs but MD delivers elbows and knees to Bret until he lets go, then MD slides around Bret to apply a rear waistlock and falls back to give Bret a German Suplex that makes Bret land on his head. Dave runs at MD but MD slaps his arm under Dave's armpit and rolls over to Arm Drag Carter and make him land next to Bret. MD turns around only to have Emblem slide forward and trap MD's legs with his own then trip MD forward onto the heap of lightbulbs, which breaks some of them. Emblem then jumps onto the second rope and leaps off of it while performing a backflip, landing stomach-first onto MD's back and breaking the majority of the lightbulbs under him. The TV Champion screams in pain as Bret, Dave, and BD get up and look at the heap of torn flesh that is the TV Champion.

"Lionsault by Emblem crushing those lightbulbs under Metal Dragon! All five men have had the beating of a lifetime and it isn't even halfway over!"

"That sculpted chest and those defined abs are all cut up now!"

MD rolls off of the wreckage of broken glass and barbed wire to lie down on the mat, showing the many fresh cuts he just obtained before Bret turns his attention to BD, wanting to pick another fight with him as if he didn't learn anything earlier. BD throws a punch at Bret which is blocked before Bret ducks under BD's arm while twisting it, then traps BD's head under his arm and runs toward the aforementioned heap of broken glass and barbed wire to attempt a Bulldog but BD slides his head out and shoves Bret forward to counter it. Bret turns around only to have BD run at him and throw his arm out, clotheslining Bret as he lands back-first onto the barbed wire and glass, bouncing off of it and letting out his own yelp of agony. BD turns around as both Dave and Emblem jump onto the second rope and leap off of it with arms extended to try a Double Flying Clothesline but BD ducks and the two cruiserweights sail over him. BD turns around as his two adversaries do the same before BD grabs both of them by the throat and lifts them up at the same time before taking a step forward and slamming them both down on their backs.

"Double Chokeslam on Carter and Emblem by Black Dragon!"

"What a bully! Pick on someone your own size!"

"If there was someone his size in this ring, maybe he would!"

Bret gets up and grabs the barbed wire with the crushed ends of lightbulbs dangling off of it, some falling out of it onto the mat in the process as he puts two hands on it and twirls it a couple times, intent on using it as a whip. BD turns around and Bret immediately strikes BD's chest with the barbed wire then drops the barbed wire on the ground while kicking BD in the stomach to double him over. Bret then puts BD's head under his arm and turns around before sitting down to plant BD's neck onto Bret's shoulder, then Bret maintains the hold and turns back around to reapply a front facelock. Bret then positions BD over the barbed wire, intent on a DDT, but BD punches Bret in the ribs and slides his head free then grabs Bret by the throat with both hands and lifts him up in the air. Bret pleads to BD for mercy while clawing the veteran's hands in an effort to fight out of the choke, but BD pulls Bret to him for a moment before falling forward and slamming Bret down onto the barbed wire with full force. Bret lies lifeless in the heap of barbed wire and shattered glass as BD gets up to look down at his victim.

"Double Chokelift Slam onto that barbed wire! Black Dragon has suddenly gained control of Cage 4!"

"Can he keep control of it when the roof is raised, though?"

Dave and Emblem both get to their feet as BD turns around and they both grab his arms and whip him to the far ropes. BD holds both arms out on his return trip but the two smaller men duck the clotheslines before both kicking BD in the stomach and wrapping his head under their arms before falling backward, DDTing him into the mat as he rolls forward from the momentum. The Lightning and The Impulsive One then turn their attention to each other, Carter and Emblem being the smallest men in the cage yet the only two standing.

Dave and Emblem trade punches for a moment before Dave grabs Emblem's arm and whips him to the ropes before bouncing off of the opposite ropes. As the two men make their return trip, Dave jumps at Emblem and tilts his body to the side but Emblem does a baseball slide forward to dodge the Crossbody and the two men get to their feet. Dave runs at Emblem and The Impulsive slips his arm under Dave's and drags him overhead to the mat. The two men get up once again and Dave swings an arm at Emblem, but Emblem ducks the clothesline and throws his own which Dave ducks as well. MD gets to his feet on the other side of the ring and staggers over to Dave and Emblem, who are now in a collar-and-elbow tie up. Emblem uses his power to push Dave to the ropes before releasing the tie-up and grabbing Dave's arm to whip Dave to the far ropes. Dave bounces off the ropes as MD interjects himself into the conflict by bouncing off of the ropes next to Emblem and running at Dave before lowering his shoulder and spearing Dave in the stomach in the center of the ring as a surprised Emblem looks on.

"Dave Carter just ate another DragonFire! Metal Dragon just came back to life and popped up out of nowhere!"

"I pop up when I see Metal Dragon."

*sigh* "Fans, the previous statement does not reflect the views of GHW, especially not mine."

MD gets up after spearing Dave and turns around as Emblem runs at him only to receive a running knee to the midsection from Emblem. MD rolls over Emblem's knee as it acts like a fulcrum before landing his back on the mat as Emblem walks over to the pile of weapons on the ground from the downed trash can, the lone man standing wondering what he can find in it.

[Dave Carter]

As his eyes browse through all kinds of items and weapons, with some of the looking like useless old trash tat was threw in the can just too fill it up with more various stuff. Emblem's sight comes across one of the items and he bends over, picking it up. The item is a simple jump rope. The Impulsive One swings the rope at both sides few times, then takes the ends of the rope, one with each hand and begins to jump over the rope, kinda like testing it and at the same time showing everyone that is watching him that he still has some stamina left. Yet suddenly his little exercise is ended when he receives a hard hit to the back of his head. It's Black Dragon's forearm, which he swings at Emblem after silently sneaking from behind. The impact sends Emblem stumbling forward few steps. He quickly goes to turn around, now facing the biggest man in the ring eye-to-eye. BD instantly goes to swing his arm at Emblem again, trying to punch him in the cheek, but The Impulsive One capitalizes his speed against a lot larger opponent, side stepping out of the way. More to that, he shows that he picked up the jump rope not just for exercise or little fun, but because it also can be used as a weapon. Emblem swings the rope at his opponent, the rubber rope connects with the skin of Black Dragon's arm, ripping some of it of. Blood begins to drip from BD's arm as he lets out a scream of pain. Emblem quickly steps back a bit and swings the rope again, this time aiming to the neck of BD. The rope wraps around the big man's throat and just as it does, Emblem pulls the rope to himself, tightening the grip and cutting of airs movement between BD's lungs and mouth.

~~JP~~
Emblem is choking Black Dragon with that jump rope!

~~Ray~~
I guess he is trying to get some retribution from when Black Dragon choked him with a wrench.

A bit further in the ring, Bret Baxton slowly begins to make his way back on his feet, still dizzy from the last attack of BD. He sees Emblem and BD and begins to approach them, walking like a drunk man. Emblem, burning with rage, continues to choke the life out of Black Dragon, who is now brought to his knees, trying to get the rope of his neck, thus neither men notice Bret. Baxton uses that, stepping few bigs step toward Emblem and then lifting up his right leg, thrusting it forward as the same time. Bret's left boot hits The Impulsive One right in the face, knocking him down. Emblem falls down instantly, like he was shot, hitting the mat with a thud. BD at the same moment finally is able to get some air into his lungs as the grips is released. Yet he feels better only for few seconds as Bret now grabs the rope, pulling it to himself and choking BD again. The big mans tries to fight him of, but lack of oxygen made him dizzy and even though he is able to stand up, his punch just crosses the air, not reaching it's target, Bret. Baxton uses his opportunity and goes around Black Dragon, standing back-to-back with him. Baxton then grabs BD's head and step forward, falling backwards at the same time, thus bringing the biggest man in the cage down with a neckbreaker.

~~JP~~
First BB Gun to Emblem, then Neckbreaker to Black Dragon. Bret is really fired up.

~~Ray~~
Go Bretie, go!

Bret moves back on his feet, watching at BD lying on the canvas and holding his neck with both hands. He then goes to turn around and sees another Dragon in front of himself. Metal Dragon is back in vertical position by now. Yet he is not the only one. Bret turns his head a bit to the other side and sees Dave Carter, standing on both feet, his eyes following both Baxton and MD. All three men step up a bit, standing in a triangle position. Each man follows his other two opponent with his eyes, ready for anything. It seems as they all are waiting for one of them to make the first step before the fight begins again. Yet, suddenly, this three way staredown is interrupted by a ring of a bell. This bell signals that 10 minutes has passed and the roofs of all cages begin to rise up. Dave, Bret and MD all look up, watching as the exit out of the cage is now open. Dave looks back to Metal Dragon and Bret Baxton, who breath hard while watching this moment. It's a debut in NeXuS for both men, while Dave has already been in it, not to mention that he actually thought of it. A grin comes across his face, which surprises MD and Bret a bit. Yet they both seem to be ready to fight Dave for those two spots, for being one of two men that advance. Dave continues to smile, but now it's not a simple smile. It's his well known smile, which shows that something is on Dave's mind, that makes him confident in himself and makes him smile.

~~JP~~
It's time Ray. For ten minutes all these 19 Fighty fighty persons were trying to ware out their opponent, make them unable to climb the cage wall or even move. Now the race begins.

Metal Dragon begins to crack is fists while Bret gets into attacking position as well. Yet, for their and other's surprise, Dave continues to stand while smiling. He takes another look up, seeing that the roof has been completely rosed. He also takes a look at other cages, seeing superstars fighting and trying to climb out of their cages. Carter turns back to his two opponents, but also notices that Black Dragon and Emblem slowly begin to get back on their feet as well. The Lightning looks back at determined Bret and MD again and shouts out to them.

~~Dave Carter~~
Good luck boys. Now it's your time!

If Dave's words were confusing, then his actions prove to be even more. Instead of trying to fight his other 4 opponents, Dave just simply walks to the nearest corner and sits down, leaning his back at the protection pads on the turnbuckle. Neither Baxton or Metal Dragon understand what Carter is doing. They begin to shout at Dave "What the hell are you doing?", to what he simply answers.

~~Dave Carter~~
I'm good with all of this. I reached what I wanted. The show is over for me, now I'm going to watch is from the sidelines. But for you... for you the show has only begun...

Joining MD and Bret, Emblem and Black Dragon now also look at Carter confused. But to that Dave Carter just answers with his signature smile, clearly showing that he's done and have no more intentions to fight at NeXuS Deathmatch.

~~Ray~~
What's going on?

~~JP~~
I'm not sure but I think that Dave is done for tonight. He is clearly showing that he isn't going to even try and advance to the next stage.

As Dave sits in the corner smiling, other 4 men have nothing else left to do as to continue fighting between themselves as NeXuS continues.
