Phase Three: Submission

[Desperado]

Reeves grabs Metal Dragon’s head in both hands and crushes his nose with the force of his head, busting it open. With Metal Dragon’s eyes watering, Reeves grasps the ballistic, sadistic and narcissistic superstar in a waist-lock and heaves him into the air with a belly to belly suplex. Metal Dragon smashes to the ground in a slump with the weight of his lower body crashing into his shoulders due to the awkward landing. The crowd let their appreciation shown with a ‘Oooof’ as the GHW T.V. champion hit the ground with a ‘Thud’. Without warning, Desperado runs in full blast at Reeves, spearing him to the ground and launching many punches of anger into his cranium.

Leaving his opponent knocked-out on the concrete floor, Desperado looks up at the ladder which is completely in his grasp. Desperado begins to climb it one step at a time, with the thought in mind that he has all the time in the world but what he doesn't realise, the 292lbs of Anthony Luciano has risen of the ground and has started climbing the other side. Desperado is not too pleased with the look across Luciano's forehead and begins to increase his pace taking quick small steps. Desperado feet take a slip, loosing grip of the ladder as Desperado is stranded in mid-air using his hands alone to support himself back on to the ladder.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"Whoa, … close call. For a moment there, I thought he isn‘t going to make it back on to the ladder. Which proves it is wiser to go at a steady pace than to rush up such a dangerous climb"

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"My heart’s in my throat. This is so exciting, I don‘t know who‘s going to win. Desperado is so close to reaching the final stage as is that Italian hunk."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"Looks like Reeves has managed to pull himself out of his cataleptic state and has his eyes on the two men that are speeding up the ladder."[/center]

As he places his feet back on to the ladder, he manages to catch a glimpse of Reeves speeding in behind him. Desperado puts a foot on the accelerator as he manages to reach the last quarter of the ladder but by this point even Desperado's agile feet have given way and fatigue has caught up with him. Desperado pushes himself, urging himself to reach the top, He can see Luciano catching up on the other side whilst Reeves is only a inches away from reaching Desperado's ankle. Desperado continues to move vertically using all the energy in his body. His muscles and heart working over-time. Desperado reaches the top of the ladder, stretching out above him to grab the bottom of the elevated cage. Desperado makes an effort in grasping his fingers around the cage but is unable to do so, having his right foot being pulled back from the ankle by Reeves.

Kicking Reeves on the face with his free foot, he manages to drop him a couple of steps giving him the possibility to seize the opportunity and advance. Desperado makes a second attempt and this time is more successful as he grabs onto the top of the cage with his fingers and lifts himself of the ladder using the power of his upper body. The effort of his body can seen through the veins bulging on his biceps and shoulders. Luciano decides to contest Desperado as he reaches the other end and also fixes his fingers into the chain-linking of the cage. Just as Luciano grabs onto the cage, the ladder beneath him gives a shake and is then seen swaying over to one side. They look below as Dominik pushes the ladder with all his might. On the verge of tipping over, Reeves makes a last minute appeal of survival and manages to latch onto Luciano’s legs giving a toll onto the weight his arms were supporting.

Instead of advancing to the final stage of neXus, Desperado propels his feet into Luciano's torso. Luciano manages to hang on the first time but Desperado uses the momentum of a swing for the second round and digs his feet into Anthony Luciano‘s chest. Luciano’s hand slips off the ladder as the pain kicks in and both Luciano and Reeves, who was holding onto his legs, meet an unfortunate plummet to the ground. their bones crushing into the cold concrete below with a pool of blood surrounding them.

The crowd stare in disbelief as they watch two of the remaining seven superstars insentient in the middle of the concrete platform.. The spectators are chanting, "This is Awe-Some" and "Desperado Sucks" in a show of support, knowing the incredibility of the match. And a unforgiving hatred towards Desperado.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"Oh my god, that was a shocking drop. Reeves and Luciano have plumaged to the ground creating a pool of their own blood. I hope they can recover but this late in the match I doubt they’ll manage. I wasn‘t expecting this from Luciano but I guess having Reeves holding onto your legs can have a huge effect on your grip and balance."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"All Desperado had to do was give him a nudge. It was an accident waiting to happen."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"That was a inconsiderate deed from Desperado. They meant him no harm yet he had to crush their chances of winning."[/center]

Sweat can be seen slipping down Desperado’s forehead as he hangs on for dear life. The strain can be shown all over his body. From the vein popping from the temple’s of his head, all the way through his neck, shoulders, arms and his whole upper body. Desperado gives a pleased look as he witnesses the outcome of his operation. Taking one final look below, Desperado begins swing across the base of the cage, using the chain-linkage as rail from a climbing frame. His monkey bars technique works as he manages to reach the plane of the cage without too much effort. He begins to advance steadily to the final stage of the neXus Death-match making his last vertical expedition.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"He‘s done it, Desperado has qualified for the final stage of neXus. He finds himself in a similar position to last year. I can‘t believe he is the first person to reach the elevated cage."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"Didn‘t doubt him for a second. I knew his potential and boy was I right. Sexy bods never let me down."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"Looks like Brian and Metal Dragon have made it to their feet and are planning to shift the ladder to a stand again."[/center]

Brian is seen threatening of Santiago Dominik with a broken end of a light-tube directed towards him as Metal Dragon looks to set the ladder and join Desperado in the elevated cage. Brian diverts his attention for a second to see how far Metal Dragon has got up to but the split second gave Dominik the chance to dropkick the light-tube against Brian’s arm to create a moist set of cuts. Brian steps back to recover from the wounds as Dominik lifts himself off the ground. Before he can finish what he started, Metal Dragon appears from behind the ladder and throws a brick towards Dominik. The aim having a swing to it, Santiago mis-reads the direction it was coming at and dodges right into its path-way. The block of stone connects with the centre of his head, raiding it open, spurting blood in the sickest fashion. Metal Dragon gives a smirk of pride and gratification as Brain Commonwealth congratulates him.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"Where in the hell did that come from?"

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"You mean the red brick? Metal Dragon found it as he was flicking through one of the trash cans. I guess he reckoned something needs to be done about that Santiago kid and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to strike the last blow."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"Well he is down alright but there troubles are far from over. Ryu Kenamora has just found the centre of gravity beneath his feet again."[/center]

Ryu catches the unaware Stone Orchard members by surprise as he drives his feet into their chests with running double footed drop-kick. Flipping back to his feet in a swift move he meets the applause of the crowd as they are astounded by his quick rush of energy and spirit. With a fresh delivery of adrenalin in his body, the Japanese high-flyer, rushes over to the step-ladder, climbing a few steps up before flinging himself off it to catch Metal Dragon in a reverse head-lock as he swings him around and planting his head onto Brian Commonwealth’s torso executing a springboard Reverse DDT. Ryu bows to the crowd as they applaud his amazing manoeuvre. Once satisfied with his effort, he sets his hands on the ladder and eyes on the final stage of the match where Desperado eagerly awaits his arrival.

Before he can surpass the half-way stage of the ladder, Metal Dragon and Brian Commonwealth both begin to stutter. Shoving Metal Dragon off of him, Brian staggers to his feet, knocking into the ladder at first but using it as a support to find his balance. Once settled he pulls himself up the ladder in a quick but unsteady fashion on a mission to chase Ryu down and prevent him from reaching the third and final phase of the neXus Death-match. Metal Dragon locates the other end of the ladder and embarks on his voyage to the summit of the ladder.

Brian, unable to catch up to Ryu, finds himself in a foul mood as he reaches the foundation of the cage with Thunder-hawk, having reached the plane and on the verge of making it along the barbed cage wall. Metal Dragon finds himself in a spot of bother as he rushes to reach the top with Dominik Santiago looking set on pushing the ladder down. With only a fraction of a second to go, Metal Dragon fingers meet the cold steel of the elevated cage as he feels the support of the ladder disappear beneath him. With a sigh of relief he pulls himself along the bed of the cage. Ryu is the next man after Desperado to reach the final stage of neXus followed shortly by Brian and then an exhausted Metal Dragon crawls in behind him.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"This is it, the final stage. There are no friends here as all are now competing against each other to gain the final prize as you know guys, there can only be one winner from here."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"Desperado has been in this position before so he will have some idea of what to expect and what to look out for. He failed the first time around, I‘m sure he won‘t make the same mistake again."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"You were right about him making it thus far but with the likes of Brian, Metal Dragon and Ryu in the ring, anything is possible."[/center]

All four men stand in a each corner of the ring. Some are panting, others are hawking their opponents. The referee checks with Metal Dragon is he able to continue and is met by a positive grunt before a shove, pushing him aside. The referee explains the rules of phase three before he signals the final round to start.

Desperado rushes into Ryu and puts his advantageous resting time to use as he begins working on the drained superstars legs, starting with a low dropkick into the knee. Ryu squats his leg to the ground as the will to stand, slips beneath him. Metal Dragon is still dizzy from the quick consumption of the remaining energy in his body as the blood rushes back through his body with a package of ATP. Grasping the opportunity, Brian sneaks up behind Metal Dragon and compresses his elbow into Metal Dragon’s spine causing him to squeal in pain and crunch to the floor. Brian Commonwealth immediately locks him into camel clutch.

(OOC: I was kind of confused. Is it the first to get his opponent to submit wins or is it elimination?)

[Brian Commonwealth]

Desperado keeps Ryu contained on his back in the corner with heavy stomps to Ryu’s head, arms, and chest. Desperado then drops his left knee across the throat of Ryu and continues pushing down, applying pressure. Desperado then post down on Ryu’s left shoulder which is facing the inside of the ring with his left arm and he keeps Ryu’s wrist to the mat with his right hand. Desperado keeps Ryu’s left arm outstretched and takes his left knee off of the throat of Ryu. Desperado then viciously drives his right knee into the bicep and tricep of Ryu many times, Ryu’s body lurching each time in pain.

Jimmy Pate: Let me tell you folks, the hard bone of the knee slamming against that soft muscle tissue is no friend and it feels like Hell.

Ray White: Speaking of hard bones… Looking at Desperado is making me hot. What’s going on with Brian and Metal Dragon though?

Brian is now seen releasing Metal Dragon from the camel clutch and helping Metal Dragon up. The two exchange words before they both get an evil smile on their face and they both look at Desperado who is still kneeing Ryu’s left arm. Finally, after catching their breath, Brian and Metal Dragon charge in upon the two. Metal Dragon is the first to get there and too the surprise of many of the fans performs a vicious left high knee to the temple of Desperado sending Desperado to his stomach, stunned.

Ray White: Wait a second… What is going on? Why are Brian and Metal Dragon attacking their fellow member of Stone Orchard. Don’t do this too the sexy Desperado!

As Metal Dragon gets his left leg out of the ropes, Brian grabs Desperado’s left foot with both hands and drags him to the center of the ring. Once there, Brian hooks both of Desperado’s ankles in what looks like is going to be a Boston crab when Metal Dragon suddenly jumps in and mounts the chest of Desperado, Brian keeping Desperado’s legs in the air with the ankles hooked. Desperado, still stunned from the high knee, doesn’t even see Metal Dragon bringing his right arm into the air hooked before slamming his elbow straight into Desperado’s left eye socket cutting it open instantly and some blood squirts out.

Jimmy Pate: What a VICIOUS elbow to the eye of Desperado! That looks like a mean cut he’s got on his left eye now.

Metal Dragon doesn’t take his elbow off, he instead begins driving his elbow down into Desperado's left eye socket, pushing the eye back into the brain. Metal Dragon continues this vicious act too the sickening screams of Desperado as his left eye is shoved farther and farther into his head towards his brain. Metal Dragon finally takes his elbow out too reveal blood all over his elbow and blood flowing from Desperado’s left eye. Metal Dragon wipes some of the blood off of his elbow and licks it then slams that elbow once more into the eye of Desperado before dismounting.

Ray White: Oh my goodness gracious! What a horrible and vicious crime! I won’t ever be able to see the complete pair of Desperado’s beautiful blue eyes again! *sob*

Jimmy Pate: Shut up Ray! In all seriousness though, this is not good for Desperado and could lead to permanent eye damage.

Desperado still has blood gushing out of his eye as Metal Dragon stomps on his a few more times before nodding at Brian. Brian takes the signal and while keeping the ankles hooked, steps over the lower back of Desperado with his right leg while twisting Desperado’s body. Once Desperado is on his stomach, Brian keeps the ankles hooks, squats down, and pulls back on the ankles in a very well executed Boston crab. Metal Dragon stomps madly at the upper back of Desperado before taking a few steps back. Metal Dragon has that sick look in his eye again when the crowd suddenly burst into cheers as they see Ryu on a turnbuckle not too far away from Dragon. Ryu leaps from the top turnbuckle and lands on top of the shoulders of Dragon so that they are both facing the same way. Ryu tries bringing his body weight back to bring Dragon down in a reverse hurricanarana but to no avail a Dragon is not budging. Finally, Dragon back peddles and slams Ryu back-first into the cage. Dragon walks forward a few steps, letting Ryu sit on the top rope, the only thing keeping him up is the cage he’s leaning on behind him. Metal Dragon turns around and begins sprinting towards Ryu who is still sitting on the top rope with his back against the cage. Just as Metal Dragon throws his body in the air too connect with a high spear, Ryu dodges off to the side on the mat causing Metal Dragon too slam crown-first into the cage. Metal Dragon’s limp body follows his head and slides in between the ropes and cage to the mat below.

Jimmy Pate: That was a good move by Ryu too get out of the way at the last moment, and it looks like Metal Dragon’s out of it after ramming his head into that cage. That had too hurt.

Brian lets go of the Boston crab after seeing everything out of the corner of his eye, and he goes to tie-up in a grapple with Ryu just as Ryu turns around. Ryu shucks both of Brian’s arms over his head and throws his body into the air, flipping himself backwards. Just as Brian turns around, his face is slammed by Ryu’s left boot in a backflip kick causing a burst of cheers from the crowd.

Jimmy Pate: What a pele kick by Ryu! Perhaps Metal Dragon and Brian teaming up wasn’t such a good idea because Ryu is now in control in this match-up and Desperado looks to be getting his feet.

Ray White: True Jimmy… But Ryu’s left arm has too be hurting after the knees Desperado slammed into it earlier in the match, and I think Desperado’s beautiful left eye is beyond repair. There’s not even evidence there was ever even an eye there.

Ryu is now making his way towards Desperado who has just pulled himself to his feet via the ropes, and tries wiping some of the blood in his left eye away only for it too be replaced by more. Desperado’s shoulder is grasped firmly and he is spun around by Ryu who begins yelling something at him and pointing backwards towards Brian and Metal Dragon. Desperado nods his head too agree with whatever Ryu is saying before Brian can be seen on his feet now and lurking towards Ryu from behind. Desperado says something to Ryu, and Desperado quickly puts his hands together, interlacing the finger, and putting it down to his stomach with his palms facing up. Ryu steps onto Desperado’s hands with his right foot and then pushes off the mat with his other foot to launch himself into the air backwards in backflip. Just as Ryu completes his backflip to land a flipping reverse DDT on Brian, Desperado lets out a quickly burst of speed and lower his shoulders. Desperado hits the spear on Brian just as Ryu his the flipping reverse DDT causing a huge burst of cheers from the crowd.

Jimmy Pate: That was great teamwork by Ryu and Desperado and I never thought I would have seen that! Not only did Ryu land a flipping reverse DDT, but at the same time Desperado hit a spear.

Ryu stands up after letting go of Brian’s head and turns around only to be met with Metal Dragon putting his head underneath Ryu’s left arm and hooking his waist. Metal Dragon lifts Ryu into the air and slams him down in a spinebuster out of nowhere. Ryu rolls out of the way holding his back and Metal Dragon stands up. A couple of feet apart from each other stand Metal Dragon and Desperado, the tension building. Desperado stares with pure hatred at the betrayal of Metal Dragon and Desperado mouths some vulgarities at Dragon. Dragon only responds by wiping more of Desperado’s blood off of his elbow from earlier and licking it. Desperado walks in fast upon Metal Dragon and Metal Dragon tries throwing a right hook only for it to be blocked. Right after Desperado blocks the punch, he throws his body into the air so that his back is now facing the mat. At the peak of his just, Desperado hooks the neck of Metal Dragon in a ¾ nelson and falls on his back on the mat, slamming Metal Dragon down in a DKO.

Ray White: DKO! DKO! The master of sexy is back on top after hitting that move out of nowhere! That’ll teach mean old Metal Dragon.

Jimmy Pate: That is the best thing about the DKO, no one ever expects it and you can hit it pretty much at any time.

The impact bounces Metal Dragon’s head off of the mat and he rolls to his back so that he is in the center of the ring. Ryu has made it to his feet after shaking off the spinebuster from earlier, and he begins dragging Brian towards Metal Dragon as Desperado goes to climb the turnbuckle. As Desperado climbs the turnbuckle, Ryu puts Brian on top of Metal Dragon stomach-to-stomach so that Brian’s face is in Metal Dragon’s “groin” area and Brian’s “groin” area in on top of the face of Metal Dragon. Burst of laughter can be heard throughout the crowd at Brian and Metal Dragon as Ryu goes to climb the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring from Desperado.

Ray White: YES! This is BEAUTIFUL! Stay like that while I get my camera. FINALLY my job here has come to fruition. Never did I think I would be able to see such two beautiful men in such a way.

Jimmy Pate: Shut up you queer! That’s one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen… Though it is kind of amusing…

The crowd’s laughter is now mixed with cheers as Desperado and Ryu are both set on the top turnbuckles opposite of each other. Finally, Desperado jumps first and you can see his abdominal and leg muscles rippling, and the blood from his eye flying all around as he brings his body backwards in a beautifully controlled backflip. Desperado lands on top of the back of Brian in a shooting star press, which he calls Destiny.

Jimmy Pate: YEEHAW! That move right there is what Desperado likes too call Destiny! What a great move it is!

Desperado rolls off of Brian’s back to the side and Ryu turns his back to the middle fo the ring. Ryu then jumps backwards off of the top turnbuckle pad turning his body one hundred and eighty degrees before spinning one full rotation and half of another. Ryu lands on the back of Brian in the second picture perfect Phoenix Splash of the night sending up another chant of Hawkeye’s name as Ryu rolls off and Brian finally slides off of Metal Dragon to his side.

Jimmy Pate: And for the second time in this match, Ryu lands his second Phoenix Splash which the fans obviously approve of. Brian and Metal Dragon are out of it. Now would be an opportune time for Desperado and Ryu too get them out of this match!

Ray White: Oh no… Brian slid off…

Desperado is on his feet prone with a vicious look in his face as Ryu gets to his feet. The fans are screaming Ryu’s name to get his attention but it’s too late. Just as Ryu turns around, Desperado jumps into the air and once again twists his body so that his back is facing the canvass. At the peak of the jump, Desperado gets Ryu in a ¾ nelson and hits another beautiful DKO causing boos too erupt from everyone in the arena as Desperado starts staggering to his feet with a sneaky smirk on his face after hitting the move and tricking Ryu.

Jimmy Pate: Well, it looks like Desperado fooled him, and now Desperado is in full control of this match. I suspect he’ll be looking to get vengeance on his so called stable-mates now.

Desperado is now on his feet and standing over Brian and Metal Dragon who still have yet to move as the crowd is now cheering on Desperado too attack the sneaky duo. Desperado looks on anxiously plotting his next move on his so-called stablemates as the fans cheer him on…

TBCB Ryu Kenamora

[Hayabusa]

Desperado stands there his left eye so swollen shut he is blinded on one side. The fans continue to cheer at the actions displayed by Desperado. Desperado stands there and is slighty in shock and awe as he has never heard the fans cheering for his actions before. Desperado looks around the ring and then down at Both Metal Dragon and Brian Commonwealth.

Desperado begins to feel his muscles constrict and knot up from all the abuse and punishment he has suffered. Desperado slowly and painfully bends down picking up the still dazed Metal Dragon. Desperado holds Metal Dragon by the back of his head and pulls back as he bends down getting mere inches from Metal Dragon's face. Desperado screams some vulgarities at Metal Dragon before then putting his mouth over the nose of Metal Dragon.

Desperado bites down on Metal Dragon's nose. The teeth making contact with the skin and cartlage causes Metal Dragon to scream in pain. Desperado pulls up and drops Metal Dragon to the mat before spitting out a small chunk of what appears to be skin. Metal Dragon has his hands over his nose and is rolling around as blood is seen running between the hands of Metal Dragon. The crowd goes nuts as Desperado again is taken aback by the crowd cheering for him instead of booing him.

Jimmy:I think Desperado is realizing how much the fans want to like him. But was that a piece of Metal Dragon's nose that he spit out? This last part will truly test the superstars and see if they can dig down deep or find a way to be the last man standing in this match. There for being declared the winner of that title shot.

Ray:That was sick! Desperado bit of a piece of Metal Dragon's nose! I mean I can understand wanting revenge but to bite the nose of? And what is with this crowd cheering for Desperado are they nuts? Desperado doesn't need to listen to the fans he needs to only listen to me and not become a goody goody. We have enough of those here already.

Desperado bends down picking up Brian who has his eyes closed and falls down needing Desperado to use all his strength to fully support and hold up Brian. Desperado raises one hand up into the air which sends a cheer from the crowd. Suddenly Brian opens his eyes and drops to his knees. Desperado look down and suddenly feels a tingling pain as Brian brings up his arm hitting Desperado between the legs.

Desperado falls to the ground as Brian stands up and and then proceeds to grab Desperado by the back of head pulling him down as he brings his right knee up at the same time. The impact of Brian's knee into the bridge of the nose of Desperado causes blood to squirt all over the place as Desperado puts his hands up to his face and rolls on the mat in pain blood is seen dripping through his hands as well.

Brian smiles as the crowd erupts into a loud chorus of boos. Brian plays to the crowd getting them to boo even louder. Brian smiles as he makes his way over to Metal Dragon and bends down helping him to stand to his feet as he leans him against the ropes. Metal Dragon takes his bloody hands away from his face as blood runs down and hits the mat making splatter patterns. Brian taps Metal Dragon on the back and leave him be.

Brian noticing that Ryu is slowly making it to his feet. Makes his way over and stands behind Ryu arms ready as he makes the come here motion with his left arm. Ryu stands to his feet and slowly turns around as Brian brings his boot up Ryu catches the boot leaving Brian hopping around on one leg. Ryu drops to the ground and sweeps the leg out from underneath Brian sending him crashing to the mat. Ryu holds the leg up and then bends down to pick up the other leg. Ryu then locks Brian's legs into a figure with his arms. Ryu places Brian's straight leg into his arm pit. Ryu steps over Brian rolling him onto his stomach and begins to sit back applying as much pressure as he can the effect is not full but it appears to be enough as Brian is heard screaming in pain.

Jimmy:Wow! Ryu has that clover leaf locked in. I am sure if this was a regular match I think Brian would be tapping. But this match has taken a toll on everyone. Brian is refusing to give up but here comes Metal Dragon oh my god! What a kick to the head of Ryu look at the impact with which Ryu's head rocked as he landed on the mat!
The screen switches to a slow motion replay of Metal Dragon foot making contact with Ryu's head before sending him crashing to the mat. The replay is showed from several angles and then at various speeds.

Ray:Oh my God! Ryu's head did get kicked into the first row of seats. Wow Metal Dragon was vicious with that kick. Desperado still seems to be down on the mat oh man. My Despy needs to get up and kick ass and be the winner.

Metal Dragon leaves Brian to lay on the mat and recover as he makes his way to Ryu and bends down picking him up by the mask and standing him to his feet. Ryu lays his head onto the shoulder of Metal Dragon completely unaware of where he is at or what is going on. Metal Dragon grins evilly as he wraps his arms around the waist of Ryu. Metal Dragon lifts Ryu off the ground and turns one hundred eighty degrees. Slamming Ryu to the mat as he lands on top of him, Metal Dragon stands up and then spits on Ryu as he turns his attention over to Brian whom he goes to help up to his feet. Both Metal Dragon and Brian are standing in the center of the ring using each other as support.

Metal Dragon looks like he has been through the grinder as does Brian. Desperado being left unaware and allowed to recover some much needed energy has made it to his feet and stands up. Metal Dragon and Brian are unaware. Desperado crouches down low waiting in the corner. Metal Dragon whispers into Brian's ear and Brian nods his head.

Metal Dragon turns his attention back to where he thought Desperado was laying not finding him he looks toward the turnbuckle but before he can react Metal Dragon is almost speared out of his boots as Desperado connects with a spear the impact causes blood mixed with spit to fly out of Metal Dragon's mouth as he lands on the mat. Brian turns around to see what is going on and is unaware that Ryu has made it back to his feet as the crowd erupts into a loud cheer. Brian turns his head back and is surprised as Ryu puts his head under his right shoulder show that Brian's arm is across Ryu's shoulder. Ryu then pulls the Brian arm free arm through his own legs and grabs it with the arm which he held away from Brian's body. Ryu reaches across Brian's chest and hooks Brian's head with his other arm Ryu then lifts Brian up and falls backwards dropping Brian onto his head.

Jimmy:Wow! I don't think I have seen that move before it was like it started as a belly to belly was then turned into a pumphandle and finely Brian was dropped onto his head with a brainbuster. What impact what amazing skill what a hell of a move!

Ray:Did you see the spear that Despy laid into Metal Dragon?!?!?! That was great and looked hot. Uh oh Desperado and Ryu are both looking at each other. I hope that Ryu doesn't take revenge for the inadvertent DKO that Depserado hit earlier..

The crowd erupts into cheers as Desperado and Ryu stand facing off against each other. Ryu rubs his neck as Desperado who's left eye is completely worthless now to see out of just smiles. Both men charge at each other and they lock up neither man really has the power or strength as both men seem to be running on fumes. Desperado is seen whispering into Ryu's ear and both men unlock from the tie up.

Jimmy:Looks like Desperado and Ryu are going to team up again. I hope Ryu remembers what happened last time.

Ray:I don't know if I trust Ryu on this I mean he can be sneaky.

Desperado makes his way to Metal Dragon as Ryu makes his way towards Brian. Desperado bends down as he approaches Metal Dragon picking him up by his head and standing him to his feet. Desperado then whips Metal Dragon into the nearest turnbuckles. The impact sends shivers up Metal Dragon's back. Desperado makes his way over there and begins to punch Metal Dragon in the face and then lands several in the gut. This causes Metal Dragon to slump down in the corner. Desperado then takes his right boot lifting it up and begins to stomp a mud hole into Metal Dragon. The crowd cheers at Desperado's actions.

Ryu gets to Brian and picks him up by the back of his head standing him to his feet. Ryu grabs a hold of Brian and then whips him into the nearest corner. Brian's body bounces off the turnbuckles as he leans in the corner keeping himself up. Ryu then charges into the corner jumping into the air as he steps into Brian's chest and blackflips landing on his feet. Ryu Grabs Brian by the back of his head and throws him down to the mat, Ryu jumps on the bottom rope and then the second rope and finely jumps backward off the top rope rotating his body while twisting like a corkscrew landing across the chest of Brian.

The crowd erupts into cheers as Ryu feeling a rush stands up and points at Desperado who finely stops stomping a mud hole into Metal Dragon. Desperado bends down and stands Metal Dragon up in the corner. Desperado then lifts Metal Dragon up and sits him on the top turnbuckles. Desperado then climbs up to the second ropes and places his head under the right armpit of Metal Dragon.

Desperado then wraps his arms around the waist of Metal Dragon. Ryu has already sprinted and using the ropes springs up walking them before jumping off and wrapping his legs around the head of Metal Dragon. Ryu uses the laws of gravity as he uses Desperado's back to flip Metal Dragon into the air from a hurricanranna the fans look on as Desperado has his head tucked still under Metal Dragons right arm pit. Metal Dragon's back hit the mat and Desperado finds himself pile driven into the mat. Ryu lays on the mat trying to regain his strength as he spent what he had on that move. Desperado is on the mat his body twitching as the nerves tingle. Metal Dragon is on his back and is not moving. The crowd erupts into an That was Awesome!...(clapx2, stompx3) That was Awesome!...(clapx2, stompx3) That was Awesome!...(clapx2, stompx3)

Jimmy:That was unbelievable! There have been spectacular moves shown. Some coming out of no where. But all four men lie on the ground. This final stage appears to have finely taken a toll on all the Fighty fighty persons. The question is who is going to be the first of these final four to be eliminated?

Ray:Whaaaat!? Whaaaaaat did you say Jimmy? It was hard to hear you over how loud the crowd got. I will admit Ryu is showing some true skills here. I do hope that Desperado wins this match. As I want to see sexy Despy go home with a win.

TBC

[Metal Dragon]

An exhausted Ryu slowly gets to his feet, backs up for a moment and sees Brian coming out of the corner approaching him. The two men lock down in a collar and elbow and test each other's strength for a few moments before Commonwealth quickly transitions his hands to the top of Ryu's head while placing his head under Ryu's jaw and dropping to his knees, making Ryu's jaw smack the top of Brian's head. Ryu falls to the canvas and Brian grabs both of Kenamora's ankles before his daze can wear off. Brian then steps his left leg over his right and turns around, then leans back to stretch Ryu's legs back to apply a strong Boston Crab. Ryu fights the pain for a few moments before he manages to slide his legs deeper and cross his ankles, making the pain greater for a moment but allowing him to push his legs forward and slide his body forward to push Brian forward and land onto his stomach with his legs still in Brian's grasp. Ryu then quickly rolls over in that position to end up on top of the New Age Champ in a mount before leaning forward and punching Brian in the face constantly. Ryu lays into Brian with the punches as Commonwealth guards his face with his arms. Desperado and MD recover and get to their feet while Brian ponders how to escape the onslaught of fists from Kenamora.

JP: "Ryu Kenamora is punching the hell out of Brian, and remember, that can be counted as a submission!"

Ray: "He'll end up with an unsightly black eye if that goes on too long!"

MD loads his arm across his body and throws a chop at Desperado which is blocked before Despy throws that arm of MD's to the side and delivers a punch to MD's stomach. Desperado then kicks MD in the stomach to double him over even farther before jumping in the air and turning to the side in order to wrap his legs around the TV Champ's head as he comes down, MD being caught in the suddenly applied submission hold for a few moments as he tries to push Despy's legs to squeeze his head out. That fails and MD instead resorts to the less sophisticated method of punching Desperado over and over again in the groin until Despy finally unwraps his legs and lets Dragon out of the head scissors. Desperado then takes a few moments to roll on the mat and breathe rapidly from the pain as MD walks over to Ryu, who now is trying to fight his hands free from Brian as Brian holds onto Kenamora's wrists and tries to slide backward to get out of the full mount. Ryu's face hangs over Brian's as MD sees a huge bullseye on it and runs at the ThunderHawk before sticking a knee out which strikes Ryu in the face and knocks him off of Brian. Ryu falls to the mat and MD immediately grabs one of his ankles but Ryu won't let him grab the other and kicks MD in the chest. MD recoils but keeps hold of Kenamora's ankle and continues to try to grab the other, probably intent on a Sharpshooter, but Ryu grabs the second rope and somehow pushes up on one leg with the other under MD's arm before swinging his free leg up at MD's head but MD ducks the Enziguiri. ThunderHawk quickly jumps and kicks back with that leg as it connects with MD's chest and knocks him to the mat. Ryu immediately turns around after kangaroo kicking MD only to have Brian kick him in the stomach and tuck his head under his arm. Brian grabs Ryu by the waist and lifts him up in the air before holding him there for a second but Ryu spins around and fights out of the Magnum Opus attempt to land behind Brian as he falls down. Ryu stumbles back after his feet hit the mat and Brian slams his fist in the mat in frustration before MD springs up behind Ryu and kicks him in the back before reaching around his head and locking his arm in place across Kenamora's face. MD kicks Ryu's foot forward to make him lose his balance and fall onto his rear as MD pulls Thunderhawk's head back with one arm and hooks one of Ryu's arms with his other arm as Ryu tries to use his free hand to pry MD's arm off of his neck.

"Dragon Sleeper locked in! Could Ryu be the first to tap out?"

"You know that it would be a testament to the dominance of Stone Orchard if they ended up being the last three men in the NeXuS. And I'd bet that they all have that in the back of their minds."

Ryu claws at MD's arm a bit more before bridging his hips up and immediately turning around to turn MD's hold into a front face lock before Kenamora then moves in and wraps his arms around MD's waist and falls backward, suplexing MD overhead and dropping him on his head. Ryu then quickly turns around and sits down while grabbing one of MD's arms, then wrapping his legs around MD's head and captive arm before taking the leg adjacent to MD's head and bending it to fit the ankle in the inside of the knee of the other leg to apply a perfect triangle choke, a hold that is nearly impossible to escape. Brian walks over to Ryu and loads his leg back before shooting it out to the side and connecting a huge side kick to Ryu's jaw that makes him let go of the hold from MD and fall back to the mat. MD rolls over and gets up before saying a small "Thanks" to his ally as Brian nods his head once before turning around only to receive a stiff punch to the face from Desperado. Brian stumbles back before Desperado kicks Brian in the stomach and then wraps his arm around Brian's head and begins punching him in the ribs until Brian delivers a low-blow to Desperado and immediately grabs both of his legs and pulls them toward him to take Desperado down to the ground as Brian slides his head out. Brian then steps between Despy's legs to try to apply a Sharpshooter but Desperado grabs that leg before wiggling his own legs free of Brian's grasp, then Desperado quickly slides around to the side of Brian and traps Brian's legs between his own legs before tripping him forward. Despy immediately pushes his arms up with Brian's ankle still between his legs and crawls on top of Brian before sliding an arm under Commonwealth's chin and grabbing that arm on the wrist with his free arm, then Desperado pulls back to stretch Brian's neck back.

"STF on the New Age Champ! It seems that Desperado doesn't care about the people who are usually his allies in this last stage; he's out to win it!"

"And that's very smart of him. My Despy is always bright and that's why he's my favorite to win. Now if Brian and Metal Dragon would stop working together, they might have a chance."

Meanwhile, MD pulls Ryu up by the hair and shoves him into the corner before ducking and thrusting his shoulder into Ryu's stomach three times. MD grabs Ryu's arm and tries to whip him across the ring to the opposite turnbuckle but Ryu plants his feet and turns around before MD finishes slinging him, then jumps at MD with an extended arm and takes him down with a lariat. Ryu immediately grabs MD's arm and puts his legs on both sides of it to attempt an arm bar but MD pushes Ryu's legs over his head and slides forward to escape before getting to his feet and Kenamora gets up as well. The TV Champ and the newcomer lock down in a collar and elbow for a moment before Ryu delivers a knee to MD's gut and then delivers a hook punch across his face that sends him to the mat. Ryu grabs MD's hair and begins to pull him up but MD quickly wraps his arms around Ryu's waist and falls backward to suplex Kenamora overhead and make him land on his back. MD gets up and walks over to Ryu before Ryu rolls backward and gets up that way. The two men stare down for a moment before they begin to trade punches on the other side of the ring for a few seconds, fists being traded evenly until Ryu delivers a quick right and left then grabs MD's arm and ducks under it while twisting it. Ryu holds MD's arm straight for a moment before he jumps onto the second rope and leaps while turning to the side to face the same direction as MD but be parallel to the mat, then Thunderhawk throws one leg over MD's face while placing the other on MD's stomach before Ryu turns to spin MD away from the ropes while taking him down to his back and trying to bend MD's arm backward, this time successfully keeping an arm bar applied as MD scowls in pain.

"And look at that! Ryu just put Metal Dragon in an arm bar! We could have two men tap out simultaneously!"

"No! It can't end this quickly! I can't possibly see enough of Metal Dragon and Brian Commonwealth!"

Ryu and Desperado tighten their newly applied submission holds in an attempt to put away the definite two favorites in the match. Brian reaches behind Desperado's head and pulls it forward before throwing his head back and headbutting Despy in the face repeatedly in desperation, and it successfully makes Desperado loosen up the STF for a moment before grabbing Despy's arm and quickly rolling over with it to not only escape the hold but also gain control of Desperado's arm. Brian then puts one arm over Desperado's shoulder and the other on his wrist to attempt to lock in a Fujiwara Armbar but Despy rolls forward and gets to his feet to avoid it. Brian approaches Desperado and kicks him in the stomach before tucking Despy's head under his arm and quickly falling back to hit a DDT. At the same time, MD turns in to Ryu and struggles with his captive arm before managing to bend it long enough to strike Ryu in the groin with his elbow. MD then takes his free arm and pushes the stunned Ryu's leg over his head before sliding forward and immediately turning around with his arm still between Ryu's legs. MD moves that arm down to Ryu's calf and uses it to hold Ryu's leg in place before putting his own leg over Kenamora's and pushing Ryu's leg up into his thigh to apply pressure to Ryu's knee. MD maintains the knee bar for a couple seconds before Ryu turns inside to MD and kicks him in the chest with his free leg followed by kicking MD's arm to allow Ryu's captive leg to fall to the mat, before Ryu sweeps MD's leg while pushing him over to end up on top of him with Dragon's leg trapped between both of Ryu's. MD quickly slides his trapped leg out and wraps his legs around Ryu's waist before wrapping one arm around Ryu's head and hooking Ryu's arm with his other, then lifting up on Kenamora's head to apply a Guillotine Choke.

"Guillotine locked in on the Thunderhawk! All four of these men are taking every opportunity they get for offense!"

"This match is just as action-packed as it was at the beginning! These guys never get tired, and you know I admire that!"

MD leans back and strengthens the choke for a moment before Ryu quickly wiggles his captive arm free of MD's grasp and blindly finds MD's face with it before sticking two fingers into MD's eyes and clawing into them. MD unwraps his legs from Ryu and moves his hands from applying the choke to keeping his eyes from being gouged out by Kenamora. MD and Ryu both get up, MD's eyes tearing because Ryu poked them and Ryu's eyes tearing because of the choke blocking blood flow to and from his brain. Brian stops watching the action between MD and Ryu to pull Desperado up by the hair and grab him by the arm then sling him toward MD and Ryu. Despy picks up a full head of steam while running at his groggy adversaries and sticks his arms out before jumping, clotheslining them both to the ground as Brian makes his way over to them. Brian and Desperado respectively pull Dragon and Ryu up by the hair before Desperado whips Ryu to the ropes and Brian whips MD to the opposite ropes as Ryu and the two men run at each other before MD lowers his shoulder and spears Ryu right in the ribs in the center of the ring.

"DragonFire on Ryu, and what teamwork by Stone Orchard!"

"I'd like to see what happens if Ryu is eliminated and those three guys have to duke it out."

TBC

[Desperado]

Desperado looks up at the hungry eyes of his team-mates Brian Commonwealth and Metal Dragon, who is making it back up to his feet. Having realised his mistake of assisting Stone Orchard in the spearing of Ryu Kenamora and losing a possible ally he begins to back away into the corner of the ring. Stone Orchard begins enclosing around him. Desperado stumbles into a steel garbage can behind him. It catches him by surprise at the moment but soon he appreciates its positioning as he pulls out two kendo sticks from within, giving reason for Metal Dragon and Brian Commonwealth to back off in a shift of balance, with Desperado holding the more power. There is a huge uproar from the crowd which astonishes all three Stone Orchard members but it soon turns into hatred towards Desperado as they become familiar with the message the chant is conveying.

“Des-pe-ra-do”
*Clap Clap, Stomp, Stomp, Stomp*
“Des-pe-ra-do”
*Clap Clap, Stomp, Stomp, Stomp*

The chanting lifts Desperado’s spirits as he begins to move in towards his fellow team mates with his precious kendo sticks wrapped securely in his grasp. Brian gives a stern look at Metal Dragon who responds with a nod and attempts to charge Desperado down. The Golden Angel champion anticipates it incredibly as he sidesteps to the right and drives the first kendo stick into his stomach and the latter one comes crashing into his spine with the first one following up in quick succession onto his neck, knocking him flat to the ground in an arch of pain. Brian strides into attack Desperado but is met with a rapid reaction and a loud ‘THWACK!’ on the hand revealing a red line of stinging pain. Brian yelps in pain before lashing out a leg in anger which meets a similar, if not worse fate than its cousin limb as Desperado sets one stick below his leg as it reaches its climax so that Brian is unable to bring it back down and uses the second stick to turn the underside area of his leg into a factory of bruises and pain.

Brian yanks back, releasing his leg as he suddenly becomes more aware of the threat Desperado poses with the weapons in his hand and looks around to a sign on how he can even things up. Before Desperado can close him down, Brian makes a run for the trash can. Before he can find something useful and use it to his advantage, he is forcefully booted in the back with a flying kick, knocking him head first into the trash can. Desperado bows down to the crowd as they erupt in a fit of laughter. There is another outburst as Brian, struggling to get himself out of the garbage can tips it over to the ground, spilling its contents and himself to the ground. Before Desperado can realise the potential risk he is at, Brian storms in with a sledge-hammer and rackets it into Desperado’s head knocking him flat out to the ground, with blood slipping out of his nose and mouth as well as the ear closest to the shot.

The crowd gasp in horror as a furious Brian beckons them to laugh whilst pointing towards Desperado.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"What a slobber-knocker this match has become. Desperado has already lost an eye. He is partially blind and now Brian wants to make him half deaf too."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"My poor sweet-heart, my darling Desperado. How could Brian do such a thing to his own team-mate. Is this what reverend Vortigen‘s been teaching you? Is that what he preaches in the church of Stone Orchard? Where is this *Beep* church so that I can burn the *Beep* down."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"Mind your language Ray, as for the actual church, … I doubt it exists."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"Even better. Now that *Beep*, *Beep*, *Beep* has nowhere to hide. I don‘t get this *Beep* censors. What the harm in a bit of bad language. At least its not as bad as the violence and gore that we have seen here tonight."[/center]

Brian lifts Desperado legs and splits them wide open before stomping in his groin area repeatedly as Desperado crunches up in pain. Once satisfied, he shifts his leg in between Desperado’s before crossing them over and rolling Desperado onto his stomach, locking his legs and body in a Scorpion hold. Desperado screams in pain as his lower body is arched back almost snapping his lower spine in half whilst the bones in his legs crush and grind against each other. Desperado refuses to give in and manages to hang onto his chance of winning by the edge of its string. Desperado’s determination is publicized with his clenched eyes, clenched fists and is loud bellowing. Help comes in the shape of ‘Thunder Hawk’ as the Japanese warrior regains a stance beckoning Brian to release the hold and divert his aggression towards Ryu.

Brian power walks in Kenamora’s direction and swings a fist which Ryu foresees and dodges its path. Slotting his head beneath Brian’s arm grabbing his leg with his left arm, whilst using the right to wrap around his head. With one swift movement, Brian finds his feet lifted off the ground and held cradled against the force of gravity. Ryu then rotates Brian around 360 degrees before proceeding to push the New Age champion forward while holding firmly onto his leg with one arm and the head with other arm before squatting down, driving Brian Commonwealth’s head into the mat. It is met by a very positive response from the crowd.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"That was the Twisting Cyclone Driver folks. A trademark move by Ryu ‘Thunder Hawk‘ Kenamora taking out the New Age champion, Brian Commonwealth in the process. Ray would you listen to the crowd, it would seem Ryu is the fan favourite to in the match."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"Far from it. Desperado‘s going to win the match, not this newcomer, I mean have you ever heard of someone winning the neXus match on his debut."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"The only other neXus match was one by Matthew Oliveira on his debut. Besides, if it wasn‘t for Ryu, Desperado would have packed his blood-bath out of this match. We all know he wasn‘t going to last much longer."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"Your just saying that to annoy me. Desperado could have lasted in that weak submission hold for days, if not weeks to come."[/center]

Metal Dragon perks up from the kendo stick attack by Desperado to moves in towards Ryu Kenamora after his spectacular twisting cyclone driver. Metal Dragon hits a quick elbow to the head and knee to the chin as Ryu was lifting himself back to his feet. A little dazed by the quick combo, Ryu found his arm wrenched by Metal Dragon as he lifted himself back up. A yank of the arm sends him back to the ground as the pain shoots from his appendage to his shoulder. Lifting himself back up, he is quick to flip forward and land onto the mat on his back, untwisting his arm in the process. Before Metal Dragon can respond, he finds his leg swept beneath him causing him to release the hold on Ryu. Kenamora quickly follows up with a standing senton splash on Metal Dragon as soon as he makes it back to his feet.

Looking around the ring he finds himself to be the only one standing but Desperado is holding onto the middle rope and is using it to aid him back to his feet. Desperado looks at both Metal Dragon and Brian on the ground and then at Ryu. The crowd are quite, watching intensely as Desperado and Ryu walk into the centre of the ring. A smile appears on his face as he nods at Ryu and turns his attention towards Metal Dragon. Ryu moves in towards Brian and pushes him on to this stomach whilst grabbing hold of his right arm.. Ryu slips onto Brian’s back, and holds the arm at a 90 degree angle to him. Ryu deposits all of his weight on his opponent to prevent him from moving. Ryu then hooks the arm pulls it back into his body, stretching the his forearm and bicep whilst causing intense pain to his shoulder socket.

The referee crouches down on to his knee’s questioning Brian’s willingness to continue with the match. Brian replies with a simple, ‘F*ck off’ as the pressure of remaining in the match begins to toll and the fujiwara arm-bar begins to more lethal.

Meanwhile Desperado has clutched Metal Dragon’s foot and coiled it into an ankle lock. A smile of satisfaction appears on Desperado's face as he witnesses the agony Metal Dragon is in.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"Ryu has Brian locked in a fujiwara arm-bar and the new age champion seems to be struggling. Whilst Desperado has his ally, Metal Dragon locked up in an ankle hold. This might be it, both Stone Orchard members may be eliminated from this match whilst we‘re speaking."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"Be quite would you. Let me enjoy their presence whilst it lasts, it might be the last time I see Metal Dragon and Brian until next week." [/center]

Using his foot as his centre of gravity, Desperado steps onto Metal Dragon's foot stimulating yet more sharp pain onto the ankle of his opponent via the weight of his body. Metal Dragon snaps out in a scream as the pain is unbearable. ‘Tap you sun-of-a-b*tch, … tap!’ Desperado’s voice echoes around the elevated cage of the neXus match. Metal Dragon refuses to give in. This prompts Desperado to stamp on his foot once again causing more aggravation. He follows up with another aggressive stomp and then another. This continues until a whole chain of stomps line up creating a rythmatic and pulsing pain, imitating a heart-beat.

Desperado looks to tie Metal Dragon in a submission hold once again as he reaches out to his injured foot. Metal Dragon, in supreme desperation, kicks out and thrashes about in an attempt to break free and to his luck, his foot strikes Desperado dead centre of his nose instigating the stinging-nose and tearing-eyes effect along with a bust nose. Brian seems to have slipped out of the move and both he and Ryu are tussling and brawling trying to lock in a decisive submission.

Desperado gathers himself back through the sting in his nose and the tears blinding his eyes and lifts Metal Dragon by the hair. Metal Dragon struggles against Desperado’s hold and manages to whip him into the turnbuckle. He gets the upper hand as he begins to pound away an arsenal of punches against Desperado’s body. Desperado doing his utmost to minimise the damage, using his arms to block the blows. Desperado grabs Metal Dragon’s right hand as he tries to punch Desperado. Metal Dragon tries to break free by aiming a punch with his left but that too falls prey into Desperado’s grasp. Desperado pulls both hands apart leaving a gap for him to strike with his forehead. Metal Dragon falls to the ground prior to having his nose busted due to a fierce head-butt from Desperado. The Technically gifted superstar takes a look at the turnbuckle before him and then at Metal Dragon. He mounts to the top with one swift move showing his agility. He takes one look back at his opponent who is holding his face whilst rolling around on the ground with a gashed nose. He looks up at the cage and then at Metal Dragon who is still in agony from the head butt. He takes another look at the cage and makes up his mind. Desperado begins climbing the cage to the very top. The crowd are lifting themselves as they wish to see another moment of brilliance or a fools mistake. Desperado upon reaching the top, salutes the crowd goodbye before launching himself off the top of the cage initiating the B.M.E. (Best Moonsault Ever).

Desperado soars through the air effortlessly in exquisite motion that leaves the fans in awe. His body drops onto Metal Dragon’s body with drastic force causing him to release his hands from his face and use them clench his stomach muscles. Desperado bounces off Metal Dragon’s body and rolls around the ring floor in a fit of pain. His reaction is similar to that of Metal Dragon with his arms wrapped around his stomach.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"What a moonsault. A superb moonsault, however I wonder if it was the correct thing to do. I think he has caused more damage to himself than to his opponent."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"No he hasn‘t. Desperado isn’t hurt, he’s just dramatising to make it look as if he is hurt. The fans appreciate his efforts a lot more." [/center]

TBCB …

[Brian Commonwealth]

OOC: There are no weapons in the third phase and therefore I am disregarding Desperado's post and continuing this from Metal Dragon's post.

Just as Metal Dragon gets to his feet after spearing Ryu, he is met by a stiff European Uppercut from Desperado. Metal Dragon stumbles back into Brian who catches him before he falls. Just as Brian catches Metal Dragon from falling, Desperado has ran across the ring and has jumped into the air, landing a Stinger Splash on Metal Dragon's chest forcing Metal Dragon to squish Brian into the turnbuckle. Desperado takes a few steps back and Brian falls to the mat behind Metal Dragon. Dragon falls back against the top turnbuckle pad with Brian underneath him behind his legs. Desperado runs towards Metal Dragon and meets him with a monster Big Boot that sends Metal Dragon up and over the top rope and stumbling to the mat between the ropes and the cage.

Jimmy Pate: Well take a look at this! Desperado is once again the lone man standing after helping in taking out Ryu and just now taking out both Metal Dragon and Brian Commonwealth in a very impressive string of moves.

Ray White: This is it Desperado sweetie. Make one of them submit now!

Desperado stands back a little while examining his work on Metal Dragon and Brian before turning around and turning his attention to Ryu. Desperado grabs Ryu's head with both hands to pick him up and he puts his right arm in between the legs of Ryu and his left arm around the head of Ryu. Brian picks Ryu up and spins him mid-lift. Just as Desperado drops Ryu, Desperado falls to his left knee and post his right knee on the mat, slamming Ryu in a Body Slam across his knee. Desperado keeps Ryu on his right knee and begins pushing down on Ryu's head with his left hand while keeping Ryu's legs to the ground with his right arm.

Jimmy Pate: After dropping Ryu across his knee in a Body Slam, it seems Desperado is targeting the back of Ryu. This could be good strategy as Ryu taken such a beating in this match, I'm surprised he's still even breathing.

Desperado continues pressing down on Ryu's head while holding his legs down and he raises his right knee a little higher, putting more pressure into the spine of Ryu emitting a scream of pain from Ryu. Desperado takes his right hand off of the legs of Ryu and then does a knife edge chop to Ryu's chest before pushing Ryu off of his knee. Desperado gets to his feet and begins pulling Ryu up to his feet again when Ryu suddenly clubs Desperado in his stomach. Desperado stumbles from the attack and Ryu tries to kick him in the stomach with his right leg, but Desperado catches it. From here, Desperado pulls back on Ryu's right leg hard and takes the ground from underneath him, sending Ryu to his back on the ground. Desperado continues holding Ryu's right leg and he then Desperado puts his left foot underneath the butt on Ryu on the ground. From here, Desperado falls to his back and sets Ryu's left leg on his stomach. Desperado then place Ryu's right leg over the top of his other leg that's on Desperado's stomach so that it makes a 4. Desperado then puts his right foot over Ryu's right foot and squeezes the submission hold tight as Ryu tries lifting himself to his butt only for his back to give out on him every time.

Jimmy Pate: What a beautiful Figure Four Leg Lock by Desperado on Ryu. Ryu might have no choice but to tap since his back won't allow him to sit up and turn Desperado over in a reversal.

As Desperado continues squeezing the Figure Four in while sitting up, his back is suddenly kicked by Brian who has made it back to his feet. Desperado arches his back in pain and then falls to his back. Brian then mounts Desperado's chest and hooks Desperado's head in a Front Facelock. Brian begins squeezing back on Desperado's head in a Guillotine Chokehold as Desperado surprisingly keeps in the Figure Four. Metal Dragon has also finally made it to his feet and is back inside of the squared circle before making his way towards Ryu who looks to almost be unconscious. Metal Dragon lifts Ryu up and puts his right arm in front of Ryu's head and then begins pulling back on Ryu's head in a Dragon Sleeper. Desperado pushes himself up while Brian continues holding the Guillotine Chokehold, and eventually Desperado makes it to his butt to which Brian then gets a front Leg Scissors on Desperado. Ryu reaches up with his free arms and hooks Brian's chins with both hands in which he begins pulling back on in a Chin Lock. Metal Dragon has his legs out on both sides of Ryu and Desperado then uses his free arms to grab the ankles of Metal Dragon and he begins pulling on Dragon's leg stretching out his groin muscles. The crowd begins growing louder and eventually reach ecstatic cheers at this sight in the ring as everyone looks like they're close to tapping out.

Jimmy Pate: YAW HOO! I've NEVER seen anything like this! Desperado's got a Figure Four Leg Lock on Ryu, Brian's got Desperado in a front Leg Scissors and Guillotine Chokehold, Metal Dragon's got a Dragon Sleeper on Ryu, Ryu's got a Chin Lock on Brian, and Desperado is pulling on the legs of Metal Dragon stretching out his groin all at the same time!

Ray White: This is incredible! My dreams are coming true in this match! Four men in pain, but putting the pain out on others. How naughty.

Just as it looks like all men are about to tap out, Brian clamps his free hands together behind Desperado's back and blindly slams them into Desperado's back in a Double Axe Handle as Ryu continues pulling back on Brian's head in the Chin Lock. Brian eventually slams his clasped fist into Desperado's back enough that Desperado lets go of Metal Dragon's ankles and he falls to his back, breaking Ryu's Camel Clutch on Brian. Brian releases the Guillotine Chokehold and Leg Scissors and rolls off to the side holding his neck as Metal Dragon releases the sitting Dragon Sleeper on Ryu after Ryu delivers stiff back elbows to Dragon's ribs.

The three members of Stone Orchard sit in the middle of the ring licking their wounds as Ryu crawls off towards the ropes and begins trying to pull himself up on the ropes, working past the pain. Ryu finally pulls himself up to his feet via the ropes and rests on the top one as Metal Dragon begins making it to his feet in the middle of the ring faster than Brian and Desperado. Ryu now has his back leaned against the top rope watching Metal Dragon make it to his feet. Metal Dragon finally makes it to his feet before stumbling forward and tripping. With his feet still far away from the ropes, Dragon reaches out and catches the top rope with both hands to stop his fall. Metal Dragon's body is sloped in an inclined position as Ryu begins running towards Metal Dragon and doesn't stop as Brian and Desperado finally make it to their feet. Ryu runs up Metal Dragon's legs and then up his back. Ryu continues his run and eventually makes it to the steel cage which he runs up two or three steps causing a huge pop from the crowd and vulgarities popping up all over the arena from disbelief. Ryu finally pushes himself off of the cage in a Moonsault towards the three Stone Orchard members in the middle of the ring after Metal Dragon has stumbled back. Ryu lands the Moonsault on all three men who catch him sending them all tumbling to the mat to the ecstatic crowd who is yelling and screaming like animals at this huge move.

Jimmy Pate: HOLY ****! WHAT A ******* MOVE BY RYU! I'VE NEVER SEEN **** LIKE THAT IN MY ******* LIFE! WOW! Ryu RAN up Metal Dragon's inclined back, he RAN up the steel cage and Moonsaulted into them! He RAN up the cage!

Ray White: Now I just have to say... THAT was hot!

All four men lay in the ring still with the crowd still going ballistic at what they just saw.

TBCB Ryu Kenamora

[Hayabusa]

Jimmy Pate:I...I am still amazed by what Ryu pulled off with that last move! I mean wow! Listen to the crowd they are loving it. This year's Nexus has easily surpassed last years by leaps and bound. This match is going to be one of the most talked about matches in wrestling. The only other match I can see being talked about is the Rhaps vs Vladimir T Strife.

Ray White:Jimmy that looks so yummy how all four men are laying there on the mat. The only thing that would make it better is if I was there. But yeah I will have to agree with you about this match and the match with my Vladdy in it as the two most talked about matches.

All four superstars continue to lie in a pile as groans and moans are heard escaping from there lips but not loud enough to be picked up by the microphones. Chests move up and down as the pile of bodies begins to move. Ryu is the first to be seen making it to his feet but stumbles around as he finds a corner to fall into. Ryu looks around the ring trying to get a focus on everything as the cheers from the crowd continue. Metal Dragon is seen slowly getting to his feet he puts one hand on the mat the other hand is placed on the chest of Desperado and he pushes himself up to his feet.

Metal Dragon limps with his hand upto his head as he finds a corner and leans against it. Desperado makes it to his feet and falls to one knee before pushing himself up and walking towards another empty corner which he leans into. Brian stands up next bruises and markings on his body. He looks around seeing that his opponents are leaning against the corner and he sees the only free corner and makes his way toward that corner. Brian falls into the corner and closes his eyes as he tries to slowly breath in he feels sharp pains in his chest and quickly exhales.

All four Fighty fighty persons push themselves off the turnbuckles and charge ending up in the center of the ring. Desperado and Ryu find themselves standing side by side as Brian and Metal Dragon stand side by side. The crowd is going balistic at the pairings in the ring.

Jimmy Pate:Wow! We have Desperado and Ryu on the same side standing there against Metal Dragon and Brian Commonwealth. The fans are going nuts over what has turned into an odd pairing. I mean we have members of Stone Orchid at opposing ends here. I mean who would have thought that Desperado would be standing on the same side as Ryu? This match has pushed all four superstars beyond there limits. What could these four men still have left in the tank?

Ray White:I think the only thing that would make that standoff more appealing is if I was in there but wow I have not seen so much stamina. That makes me happy

Ryu with a burst of speed quickly gets behind Brian and wraps his arms around his waist with a waist lock. Desperado finds Metal Dragon locking up with him. Brian reaches down trying to pull the fingers apart as Metal Dragon pushes Desperado slowly towards the corner. Brian continues to try and break free of the waist lock and after a minute suceeds by bringing his leg up between the legs of Ryu the force causes Ryu to let go Brian quickly turns around stepping slightly to the left while still in front of Ryu.

Brain takes his hands and reaches back grabbing Ryu from behind the head pulling Ryu's head above his shoulder. Brian then sits down forcing the impact to shoot up the spine of Ryu before Ryu falls to the mat. Brian smiles as he stands up looking down at Ryu before bending down and grabbing the feet of Ryu. Lifting them up. Brian then bends one leg so that the shin is behind the knee of the straight leg placing the ankle of the straight leg in his armpit. Brian takes the same arm and reaches around the ankle and through the opening formed by the legs and then locks his hands together. Brian steps over Bry turning Ryu over in a sharpshooter and proceeds to squat and lean back.

Metal Dragon smiles as Desperado appears to be unable to push back on Metal Dragon. Desperado bides his time as he lets Metal Dragon think he is going to succeed. Desperado waits a few more seconds and then suddenly drops to his knees leaning back this catches Metal Dragon by surprise as Desperado then sticks his feet into the stomach of Metal Dragon as he lands on his back and pushes his legs up flipping Metal Dragon through the air.

Desperado lets go and Metal Dragon hits the turnbuckles upside down and then falls to the ground hitting the back of his neck on the mat as his feet hang in the air before his knees bend and his legs are on the ropes. Desperado stands to his feet and looks over at Brian with the cloverleaf applied on Ryu and Ryu's arm is outstretched and he appears to be seconds from tapping to the hold.

Desperado charges across the ring charging at Brian who looks up and sees Desperado coming his way. Before Brain can let the hold go Desperado locks his arm around the head of Brian while continuing to run. Desperado then falls backward onto the mat causing Brian to smack his face into the mat Ryu screams in pain as he finds himself lifted up from still being held before then smacking the mat. Brian lets go of the cloverleaf as Ryu's feet land on the mat. Desperado lies there as as well breathing in some fresh air.

Jimmy Pate:Wow! It looked like Ryu almost tapped till he was saved by Desperado. That is weird to see Desperado actually save Ryu and to have teamed with him through this match. Metal Dragon looks to be hanging around upside down.

Ray White:I don't know what to say or what too think. I mean just when it seems that there is going to be someone tapping there is a save that is made. I am glad though as I am enjoying watching these bodies continues to sweat and touch each other.

Ryu is seen military crawling across the mat as he slowly makes his way towards the ropes in order to pull himself to a standing position. Desperado kips up to his feet and looks watching Ryu slowly crawl towards the ropes. Desperado turns his back and then charges toward where Metal Dragon is still hung upside down. Desperado drives a knee into the stomach of Metal Dragon before then grabbing his legs and flipping him onto the mat.

Desperado stands over Metal Dragon and bends down picking up the legs of Metal Dragon with his hands and sits down on the small of the back as he pulls up on the legs. The crowd is cheering and going crazy as Metal Dragon is heard screaming in pain from the boston crab. Brian is seen slowly getting to his feet as Ryu has reached out and has a hold of the bottom ropes. Ryu holds onto the bottom rope and then with his left hand reaches up to the second rope pulling himself up as his right hand grabs the top rope.

With great effort Ryu stands himself up and leans against the ropes. Brian is on his feet and is looking around. He sees that Ryu is of no concern as he turns his attention to Desperado. Desperado lets go of the hold before Brian gets there and as he turns around to grab Metal Dragon by the head Brian makes contact driving a shoulder into the chest of Desperado sending him into the turnbuckles. Ryu continues to hold onto the ropes to keep him standing up. Metal Dragon rolls out of the way as Brian reaches out grabbing Desperado by the head and then locking his arm around the head before falling to the mat with a DDT.

Brian stands up quickly bending down to take a hold of the legs. Brian lets the right leg drop to the ground before while holdng the left leg Brian hits a spinning toe hold and grasps the other leg cross as he proceeds to fall to the mat applying pressure to Desperado's crossed legs. Desperado sits up screaming in pain before falling back to the mat on his back as Brian continues to apply pressure. Ryu feeling the pain subside in his legs and using a lot of effort makes his way over to where Desperado is screaming in pain as Brian is holding onto the figure four leg log. Ryu gets over there and instead of breaking up the hold. Ryu jumps into the air laying wrapping his legs around the head of Brian with a headscissors, Ryu then grabs one of the arms and begins to wrench it backwards.

Brian still holding the figure four feels the pain from the headscssors armbar that Ryu has applied. Metal Dragon has made it up to his feet and looks on as he quickly tries to take in what is going on. He sees Desperado screaming in pain as he is moving trying to find a way to break out of the hold and escape. Metal Dragon sees Brian in a head scissors armbar and is flaring with his other arm as he tries to get free and is laying on his back. Metal Dragon comes over and he in turn drops to the mat wraps his legs around the throat of Ryu and proceeds to squeeze his legs together.

Desperado sits up and locks in inverted face lock onto Metal Dragon before fallng back to the mat. The crowd looks on as Desperado is in a figure four leg log, Brian is in a headscissors armbar and Ryu is being chocked by the legs of Metal Dragon who in turn has his body arched in the air as Desperado is pulling back on the head of Metal Dragon.

Jimmy Pate:Oh my god! Look at this I really have never seen anything like this before! I mean all four men are locked in a submission hold and it would be hard to tell who taps and says I quit. What a display for the fans.

Ray White:That is amazing I mean how does the ref decide who is the winner is going to be?

[Desperado]

'Inside all five cages and on the platform there will be trash cans filled with weapons and all kind of random items, that can be used as weapons (you will have to think of what are those items yourself).'

OOC: I did my research before my post and I think you should have checked on it before continousing your post Brian.

[Brian Commonwealth]

OOC: Desperado, I talked with the Staff about it beforehand, and there are no trash cans in the middle ring. The last phase is pure wrestling only being able to win by submission. I don't know why Dave put that in there, but ALL of the mods I talked to said there weren't trash cans or any type of weapons in the middle ring and I know that. Why the hell do you think no one used weapons in the earlier post?

[Desperado]

OOC: It was an easy mistake to make due to the mistake in the rules, but you could have mentioned it when you noticed and I could have make adjustments to my post as only a couple of kendo sticks and a sledge-hammer were used. Well its all settled now, I wasn't aware weapons were not allowed. We should continue from where you left off then.

[Dave Carter]

OOC: Brian, I am not really sure which Staff you talked to and also you could have asked me as well, since I know the concept of the match better then others

And Desperado was right on this one, there IS weapons in the final phase. At least there were weapons in the third stage last year and they should have been here this year. Unless some staff decided to change something, weapons should be part of the final stage.

[Brian Commonwealth]

OOC: Hey, I'm sorry! I read the match rules, but what I was told all the past week was that there were no weapons, and this was by staff. So what I was figuring was that a decision was made to change the last phase to where there were no weapons. I wasn't meaning that post to call out Desperado on his decision to use weapons, I just didn't think there were any because of what I was told. Sorry.

[Dave Carter]

OOC: It's OK Brian, I guess this is some kind of misunderstanding. I'll try to get this cleared out with staff. I'll make siure this won't affect the judging.
