Retaliation... at last (o2 Morning Star & co)

[ash]

Soon the grueling Ironman match was over, Ash had won it with just one pinfall over his nemesis, Morning Star, this just showcased how tied they were and how none of them wanted to show the slightest weakness, nevertheless this time, the ball was in Ash's field as he was the winner, Ash was celebrating and receiving showers of cheers

BuZZ: What a boring Ironman match... Normally when the opponents exchange pinfalls it's entertaining, but jeez! This was one of the most boring matches I have watched, and to be honest it's not Morning Star's fault, you can't make a match exciting if your opponent is Ash Dixon

Roach: I have to disagree, in my opinion this was an extraordinary match, with Ash and Morning Star fighting back and forth, and we were finally able to see that without a dirty trick involved before the match, Ash's the better man

BuZZ: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Don't exceed yourself Mike! Ash just had luck! Even Kristin Hager won once! Everyone can slip the lucky pin! What Ash should do is stop acting like if he had won the title and focus on Morning Star, because I know that my man, won't take this fluke with grace. A complete justified feeling, I'd feel the same Roach.

As announcers argue, Ash doesn't seem to realize that his bitter rival might have some dirty tricks in mind

[Morning Star]

Morning Star was livid, there was no way that he was going to allow this match to go down the way it did. As Ash celebrated Morning Star climbed out of the ring and grabbed a microphone from the ring announcer.

NO! NO! NO! This match will continue! There is no way that this pitiful fool could have gotten the upper hand on me. I demand… no, I ORDER this match to be restarted and the first pinfall be stricken from the record. Referee, ring the bell![/font]

Morning Star climbed back in the ring, still with mic in hand as the referee declined to restart the match. Morning Star grabbed the ref by his shirt and yelled at him.

You will restart this match or so help me you will not like the consequences if you continue to refuse.[/font]

As Morning Star tried to intimidate the referee, Ash grabbed the mic from Morning Star and spoke.

[ash]

Ash filled with confidence and somewhat cocky lets the ref escape, as he answers Morning Star

What happens Morning Star? Is your life falling to pieces now that the tide is in my shore? The match will not be restarted! You lost, accept it! With no dirty tricks involved you and me are equal!

The crowd cheers as Ash gets revved up

BuZZ: How can Ash be so selfish? The fans demand more 5 minutes and he ignores them! I thought he was one of those who did everything for the fans, well we can all see that Ash wants to keep this lucky pinfall like Gollum wanted to keep the One Ring, In my opinion this is a moral victory for Morning Star

Roach: Moral victory? Sorry to say Buzz, but such philosophical concepts don't exist in the squared circle

BuZZ: Bah!

Ash then resumes to speak

But if you feel you have something else to prove Morning Star, something else that you are a cheater with no honor, you know when and where I'll be more than glad to defeat you again in front of thousands of fans... Solstice!

crowd cheers as Ash waits for an answer

[Morning Star]

Morning Star sneered at Ash, he then grabbed the microphone from him and spoke.

If you wish for another match, then I will grant it to you at Solstice.[/font]

The crowd cheered as they wanted to see Morning Star get another loss, however Morning Star wasn’t done talking.

However, this will not be a normal one on one match. No, what is needed is a match with a little more magnitude to it, one that will make everyone take notice. We will have ourselves a handicap match.[/font]

The crowd booed as Morning Star made his announcement.

Roach: You’ve gotta be kidding me, a handicap match? Why does Morning Star constantly need to stack the deck in his favor.

BuZZ: He doesn’t have to, he just likes to, besides he’s beaten Ash how many times already by himself? Maybe he just wants to help out another up and comer get a victory.

Roach: I doubt it BuZZ.

Morning Star raised the microphone again with a smile on his face.

At Solstice it will be Ash Dixon versus myself and my partner.[/font]

Morning Star lowered his mic as the theme song for his chosen partner begins to play.

[chet]

the opening riff from Dimmu Borgir's Hybrid Stigmata are heard by the fans as none other than Ash's young brother, Chet makes his way to the ring, Ash is completely shocked and appalled to see that, he couldn't believe that his brother turned his back on him and on the family, but unbeknown to Ash, that wasn't Chet, he was hypnotized by Morning Star's higher power... However Ash wasn't able to see that.

Chet slowly made his way into the ring, once there, he went next to Morning Star's side, and he grabbed his mic and spoke a few words.

At Solstice.... You perish... Ash

Few words, but as Morning Star, Chet wasn't allowed too much mic time

[ash]

Ash couldn't believe this, his bro, his beloved brother was in Morning Star's dark clutches, Ash rose the mic and spoke to his brother

Chet... How could you do this?! We were on the same page! You are my brother! You should be with me, not against me! What's wrong with you?

You got tired with losing matches? You wanted to make a change? What's wrong with you Chet!?!

Ash shoves Chet, but he barely moves his much taller brother, you can see the indignation is Ash's eyes

I don't know how have you convinced my brother Morning Star, and I don't care if you and Chet destroy me, this only further proves that I am the better man amongst us! But one thing is for sure Morning Star, I am recuperating Chet, no matter if I have to beat him into a bloody plump, by the end of the 2008, Chet's coming home!

You made this personal... XWA is not big enough for us Morning Star! But why do we make this? Come on Chet! Come on Morning Star! Destroy me right now! Why do we have to wait till Solstice? Hit me with your best shot!

Ash gets on his knees and waits for the first punch to be shot at him, which is... By none other than Chet

[Morning Star]

(with permission)

After Ash was first hit by his brother, Morning Star followed suit by attacking his opponent for the evening with a barrage of fists to the head followed by a few well placed kicks to the midsection. Ash tried to cover himself from further attacks, however the team of Morning Star and Chet were too much for Ash to defend himself from.

Roach: This isn’t right BuZZ, Ash just had a grueling match and now he’s being attacked. There is no way he’s going to be able to leave the ring under his own strength.

BuZZ: You can’t say he doesn’t deserve this Roach, running his mouth, begging to be hit. I mean what did you expect? Did you really think Morning Star wouldn’t do what Ash requested?

Roach: This is a mugging BuZZ and someone needs to help Ash before these jackals tear him apart.

Not a moment after Roach made his latest statement, the crowd came to their feet as it seemed someone was on their way to the ring to do just that.

the fans react as they see some guy running down the ramp, the fans wonder who this man could be... They soon make memory and recognize him as the man who defeated Ash Dixon to win a contract with XWA! However he defeated him after Morning Star pulled some dirty trick, and was subsequently beaten by Morning Star when he refused to thank him, this guy had a name, and that was Brody Graham. He rushed to the ring and hit a big boot on Chet and tossed both of them out of the ring. He checked out if Ash was ok and grabbed a mic that was on the mat

Hey you! Morning Star! You think that you and I were done? Not even in a long shot! I've just been here for a week and I already have had enough of you. Ash Dixon isn't alone, from now on, consider me, his ally!

the fans cheer as Brody helps Ash get on his feet

Handicap match? No way, I am not gonna stay with my arms crossed while you slaughter this man. Consider the match at Solstice a tag team one! You and your goon vs me and Ash Dixon!

fans cheer as Brody waits for an answer

[Morning Star]

Morning Star was furious at the interruption by Brody, he starting walking backwards up the ramp, all the time running his mouth and pointing into the ring at Brody. The cameras were picking up what he was saying.

You want to join the slaughter, then so be it. I wouldn’t advise unpacking your bags too quickly, you won’t be here long.[/font]

Morning Star grabbed Chet’s arm and starting dragging him back to the backstage area while Ash and Brody stood in the ring.
