HL:  “Ladies and gentlemen this match is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Women's Championship!  Introducing first our champion...”

 

::The lights dim and pyrotechnic explosions burst, sending the crowd into a frenzy as the classic Judas Priest song “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming” begins to play over the arena’s PA System. Kelsia Vector comes walking from behind the curtain and the fans begin to boo immediately, though not quite all of them. More than a few cheers were in the mix as the black-and-white clad woman comes to stand in the middle of the stage for a moment before making her way down the ramp. That World Women's Championship title around her waist proudly.::

 

RJ:  “Now here's another title that's been hotly contested over the past few months.”

 

MS:  “I'd say that's quite an understatement Robbie-O.  Now hush a second, here comes Hot Chocolate!”

 

“One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said I'll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud

 

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'!”

 

HL:  “From Philadelphia Pennsylvania standing at five feet six inches and weighing in at 130 pounds she is our World Women's Champion, KELSIA VECTOR!”

 

::Kelsia casts her eyes from side to side, offering smirking expressions to her detractors an incline of the head towards the few that sung her praises, pausing half-way to the ring to soak in more of the reactions.::

 

“That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks!”

 

RJ:  “She certainly seems like she doesn't have a care in the world, look at that smirk she gave the fans!”

 

MS:  “They should feel honored she'd waste her time even looking at them!”

 

::Kelsia walks to the apron and pulls herself up onto it via the middle rope. Posing briefly just to get a rise out of the crowd, she hooks her arms around the top rope and flips gracefully back into the ring, taking a moment to toss her head back, clearing her hair out of the way. Stepping towards the corner and turnbuckles, she climbs up onto the middle rope and takes one last look at the audience as she takes her title from around her waist and raises it into the air.::

 

“Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah!"

 

::Jumping down she stood there waiting for the match to get underway, after handing the title to the referee.::

 

RJ:  “With her title on the line I think Kelsia is aiming to prove that her retaining it at Hallow-Havok was not a numbers game, Mitchell.”

 

MS:  “Blasphemy!  Kelsia is an amazing World Women's Champion!”

 

HL:  “And here is her challenger...”

 

::The arena darkens for a few moments before a dark blue light fills the interior. The heavy, bass-backed guitars of 'Shattered' by Adema quickly give way to softer notes punctuated by the distinct voice of the vocalist. A white spotlight centers on the stage as he begins to sing.::

 

“Do you wake up and wonder where you're really going?
Reach the age in your life
You wanted to achieve you goals
Nooooooo
Confusion
It lingers
Making me feel sick to my stomach
Because who knows what will happen next?"

 

RJ:  “Am I the only one that just gets chills when this song plays?”

 

MS:  “The phrase 'she is zombie hot' certainly does fit our challenger tonight!”

 

::Out from behind the curtain walks Aurelei Jamison, the hood of her sleeveless sweatshirt covering her head and face while a black towel hangs around her neck, showing under the hood. The spotlight shines not upon her, but at her back as blue and purple strobes pulse with the beat of the theme.::

 

"I've shattered into pieces in this world
I've shattered into pieces in this world
(this world, your world, my world)"

 

HL:  “From The Frayed Ends of Sanity standing at five feet nine inches tall and weighing in 148 pounds she is your Number One Contender, 'Lady Death' ...AURELEI JAMISON!”

 

::Storming down to the ring with an intense focus and dangerous intent, Aura climbs onto the apron with practiced fluidity and steps between the ropes, walking to the middle of the ring. For a few moments, Aurelei casts her eyes skyward...::

 

“What do you want to do?
Do you have plans for the future?
I wonder, does anything matter?
It's not all the same old
Fate and it's all wrong
Hold onto your goals or you'll have nothing.”

 

::...then walks towards the middle of the ropes, throwing back her hood with both hands and releasing a feral scream into the air. Pulling the black towel from around her neck and slipping out of the sleeveless hoodie, she tosses them to the attendant and ringside. Lady Death then begins to pace, white eyes glaring at whatever they alight upon.::

 

RJ:  “Aurelei has had some pretty harsh things to say about Kelsia from the moment she gained the title from Alexa Rose.  Now she finally gets her chance to either prove her point or get served.”

 

MS:  “...served, Robbie?  Seriously?  And you talk about me listening to myself talk.”

 

::The referee called both women to the center of the ring, the coveted World Women's title cradled in his arms and tells both of them he wants a clean fight and no shenanigans, and he's serious enough that he checks both of them for weapons including Kelsia's boots for hidden knuckles and Aurelei's gloves for metal inserts, not that Aurelei is even known for that!  Once the hot glares the women were exchanging were noted by that worthy he waved them back, turned to the audience and lifted the belt over his head with both hands, displaying it to the fans and the cameras before respectfully handing it down through the ropes to a ringside tech. 

 

Before he was even all the way back in he signaled for the bell and the action started before he turned around.  Aurelei was almost hyper aware of what her opponent was up to, taking in the way that Hot Chocolate's eyes followed the belt as the referee handed it off, and with a sort of flowing grace she leapt up in the air with a roundhouse kick to Kelsia's temple in mind.  At the last instant however, Kelsia dropped and the shapely leg of Jamison sailed right over her head.

 

Kelsia didn't try to rise fully, as Aurelei came down she came up from a crouch into a full contact spear.  This didn't hit as solidly as Vector would have liked, but was more than enough to bring her into the corner with Jamison with a hard impact that drove some of the air out of Aurelei.  Unfortunately for Kelsia, Aurelei quickly locked her into a reverse full nelson hold and began exerting pressure almost immediately.  Using the leverage she got from being three inches taller she pressed forward and pushed them both out of the corner, the referee following closely to see what was going to happen.::

 

RJ:  “Wow these ladies certainly aren't letting the grass grow under their feet tonight!”

 

MS:  “Seriously Robbie, if you keep this up I'm going to have to do something...Woah look at Aurelei!”

 

::Getting Kelsia to the center was easier than trying to keep her in that hold, the Champion struggling hard and jumping up to try and loosen the hold that the Challenger had on her.  It was clear what Jamison intended to do however right away as she spun into her 90° spinning lifting sitout facebuster, the Angel Wings.  Both landed on the mat hard, the force of the move echoing around ringside and making the fans in the front row wince.  Aurelei released the hold and rolled away, instead of attempting to turn Kelsia over and try for the first pin of the match, it seemed that Jamison was content to stalk her foe and cause more damage before winning.   Kelsia lay on the mat for long seconds, the referee actually moving to check on her and Aurelei took a single step towards her foe to look over the referee's shoulder.

 

This was more than enough time to let the playing possum Kelsia execute her ploy, as Aurelei leaned just a little Vector sprung up off the mat, 'accidentally' pushing the referee aside and grabbing Jamison's face she put her into a mandible claw.  Aurelei's white contacted eyes went wide and she instantly grabbed Kelsia's wrist and pressed hard with both hands, grinding the tendon into the arch of her wrist bones to force her to let the painful hold go.  With a vicious screamed curse Kelsia hit Aurelei with a punch that missed the target of her chin and glanced off her high cheekbone, and Aurelei let her go and backed up a few steps only to launch herself back at Vector with a jumping knee strike, usually something she'd use against an opponent rushing at her.  It was just as effective this way however, and Kelsia was rocketed back towards the far ropes from the force of it.::

 

RJ:  “Now that looked truly painful, but you can't deny it was effective!”

 

MS:  “Lady Death is all about effective...and brutal!  But Hot Chocolate ain't no slouch!”

 

::One hand still rubbing her chest she sprung back at Aurelei who had landed like a cat after the knee's effective force, using the momentum given to her by the rebound off the ropes to bring a hard clothesline at Aurelei.  Struck across her chest the wince was visible but when Kelsia tried to slip in behind her and hook that arm around her neck for a possible sleeper or choke hold, Aurelei hooked her ankle around Hot Chocolate's and slammed them both back to the canvas.  As they struck the back of Aurelei's head collided with Kelsia's right eye and cheek, instantly giving her a reddish looking tint to her dark skin that would most likely leave a nasty bruise later.  Aurelei sat up, feeling the back of her head but seem satisfied with the results and quickly floated over and brought Kelsia's near leg up to cinch in the pin attempt.

 

The referee's hand had come down for the two count, but Kelsia managed to get her shoulder up and then that hand near-casually reared back and cracked Aurelei across the face with an open handed slap.  Lady Death's white eyes flew wide and she looked down at the wickedly grinning face of Kelsia and began to lay vicious chops across her chest that had the crowd whistling low and wincing in sympathy.  Aurelei's expression was focused and morbid, as if she were curious how much abuse Kelsia could take  from those chops, but she started to get up and pull Kelsia with her with something obviously in mind that would need both women on their feet, steady or not.  Kelsia began to fight her only to get laced with a pair of hard forearm shivers, and then Aurelei let go of the front of Kelsia's ring gear to leave the Champion wavering on her feet.::

 

RJ:  “What is Aurelei doing?  She should have tried another pin after dishing out that abuse!”

 

MS:  “Don't question Lady Death, are you nuts Robbie?  I'm sure this is all going according to her plans so hush up and watch!”

 

::Grabbing her into a double underhook Aurelei jumped up with her and tried to bring her down for a facebuster, but Kelsia countered with a desperation move, she hooked both arms around Aurelei's thigh and pulled it to her chest so that as Aurelei released her into the drop she herself was drawn into the full downward fall.  The landing was bad news for Kelsia, caught between the leg and the weight of Aurelei's torso, but Aurelei herself showed there was pain in it for her as she yelled to express her displeasure at Kelsia's attempt to save herself.  Untangling herself from Vector she shoved viciously at Kelsia's shoulder and rolled her back to the mat to attempt another pin.  This time the referee refused to drop and count, pointing out that Hot Chocolate was aware enough of where she was to get her foot on the bottom rope.  The look that Aurelei turned to the referee was truly chilling as she got up and grabbed Kelsia under her arms and dragged her away from the refuge of the ropes even as the referee grew a set and berated her actions.

 

Those extra few seconds let Kelsia come back to her senses just a bit more to realize that she was about to be in big trouble, and both hands whipped up and locked around Aurelei's neck in a double choke.  Kelsia's hands tightened and then she let her left hand drop, and began to lift, the muscles in her right arm jumping as the left came up to cradle Aurelei's shoulder.  The crowd gasped as Kelsia attempted a chokeslam on the taller Aurelei, getting her off her feet but Aurelei used her flexibility to bring her legs up to scissor around Kelsia's waist and again both women went crashing down to the canvas in a heap of limbs, this time it was Aurelei who got the worst of the impact.::

 

RJ:  “Oh what a shot!  I think Aurelei's head hit Kelsia's boot but I'm not sure!”

 

MS:  “If that smack was any indication I think you're right and even though the referee checked...those are some sturdy boots Hot Chocolate's wearing!”

 

::Both women were slow to rise but quick to lock up again once back on their feet.  Aurelei got the advantage of this exchange, grabbing Kelsia and whipping her into a spinning back throw, but as she released the move Kelsia kept spinning through, landing on her hands and belly instead of her back and head.  Keeping the forward momentum going she popped her hips from the prone position and struck a sharp sort of side kick to the now seated Lady Death, and when Jamison turned to her with that furious glare she smirked and rolled right out of the ring.

 

Once down on the mat covered concrete Kelsia put her hands to her strong thighs and took a bit of a breather, but she was not so relaxed that she couldn't move when Aurelei charged her at the ropes and dropped for a baseball slide.  The move put her torso right out of the ring, her toned legs hanging over the apron and Kelsia there to take full advantage by grabbing her by the ankles and yanking as hard as she could. Aurelei grabbed at the bottom strand but Kelsia was prepared for that and pulled her sideways along the edge of the apron and lifting her up and slamming her back down on it.  When she got towards the corner post Aurelei seemed to realize what Kelsia was doing and let go rather than get hung and choked on the bottom rope.::

 

RJ:  “Oh that was not pretty ladies and gentlemen, I'm pretty sure Kelsia wasn't expecting her to just let go...”

 

MS:  “And I'm betting Aurelei wasn't expecting Kelsia to trip over that camera cable!  Did you see that impact!  Oh is there...is there....YES!”

 

::When Aurelei had let go it should have simply allowed her to fall off the apron to catch herself on mats, even as Kelsia yanked back hard and tried to plant her feet for the attempted choke, but fates and cheap duct tape intervened as the cable Kelsia stepped over caught on the heel of her boot.  This made Kelsia's fall less than graceful, but she held onto Aurelei's legs as she fell.  Without the ropes there to catch Aurelei slid out and followed Kelsia's downfall, and when Vector let go she bounced back and head off the ring steps, hitting hard enough to apparently open up a wound on the back of her head, spattering a few drops of blood as the colored strands of Lady Death began to get wet with the crimson fluid.

 

Kelsia stared up from the floor, sat up and shook off the cobwebs that were wanting to form and got up to her feet fast as Aurelei's hand went once more to the back of her head to check for potential injury, and was enraged to see the blood on her fingertips.  As Kelsia moved warily in a quest to get back into the ring Aurelei screamed with primal rage in her direction, and Kelsia's dark eyes got wide when she too saw the blood.  That shock wore off fast though as the Philly native shouted her own defiance at Aurelei, and surprisingly the fans in the front row there were cheering in support of her stream of expletives!  Kelsia smirked at Aurelei and the pair collided as neither one was willing to back off here.  Aurelei's hand was a little slick with blood, but the forearm shivers she was raining on Kelsia connected just fine.::

 

RJ:  “I don't think either one of them knows that the referee is already counting!”

 

MS:  “Let them fight ref!  Stop counting and just enjoy all this beautiful carnage!”

 

::Backed into the railing Kelsia countered the assault with a solid deliberate headbutt, the crack of the two skulls meeting prompting OH! And winces galore from the crowd, a few of the people right there at the rail patting Kelsia on the back as Aurelei staggered away and Kelsia finally realized that the referee was up to five in his count.  Dark eyes widened and she lunged for the apron, Aurelei made her own move and she plowed into Kelsia sideways and both women hit the apron hard, Aurelei's fist connecting with Kelsia's right eye as they fell.  Instead of pursuing the assault though, Aurelei shoved free of the downed World Women's Champion and leapt up to grab the bottom strand, vaulting herself up to the apron and then through the ropes into the ring, breaking the count for her.

 

Kelsia was slower to rise, the referee actually got to eight before she too hit the apron and rolled in.  It was clear then that the swelling that had been faint before was increasing rapidly, to the point that Kelsia's right eye was almost swelled shut, and over her brow was the darker glimmer of blood as a pressure cut had obviously been opened on the already tender flesh by the latest attack by Aurelei.  Instead of making a show of rage at this, Kelsia simply wiped her wrist over the wound to keep the seeping blood out of her eye and advanced towards her opponent.  By now the referee was circling both women, concern clear on his face as it was plain that the back of Aurelei's ring gear was beginning to be spotted with blood as the silky strands at the back of her head grew soaked with it, and blood continued to seep from Kelsia's damaged brow.::

 

RJ:  “The referee is asking both women if they are okay to continue...and that glare that Aurelei just gave him made me feel cold, Mitchell.”

 

MS:  “No matter how zombie hot she is, you're right Robbie-O there's no way I want a look like that turned on me.  No way no how!”

 

::After making them both pause long enough to ask them if they wanted to continue and having to weather the glare of Aurelei and the foul language of Kelsia, he stepped back and let the two have at it.    Kelsia hit Aurelei in the chest with a surprise dropkick, and as Aurelei went down her elbow glanced off the referee's cheek completely by accident.  Neither woman noticed as he went down, both fiercely fighting as they got back to their feet, Kelsia nailing a hard front kick that staggered Aurelei back but Lady Death lunged forward and grabbed Kelsia's wrist with both hands and slung her at the far ropes in a hard Irish whip.  When Kelsia rebounded Aurelei thought she was out of it enough and blind in her right eye to boot that she tried for a simple backbody drop, but Kelsia saw her bend for it and caught her around the neck for a swinging neckbreaker.

 

The crowd was on its feet as both women went down again, this time though Kelsia was up first and wiping more blood from her increasingly bleeding brow with a frown as she tried to clear her swelled shut right eye.  She was a canny enough fighter to know that this gave Aurelei too much of an advantage and that she would need to do something drastic, unfortunately for Kelsia Aurelei was also up on her feet even though she too was not as strongly there as usual.  The back of Aurelei's hair, and her ring gear was now soaked with blood, the strands causing droplets to spray over the canvas as she leapt to attack Vector.  Moving fast Aurelei locked her right arm up and under Kelsia's right arm from behind and got her hand at the back of Vector's neck.  Reaching around with her left arm, she hooked it under Kelsia's left leg and used the added leverage to bring her over and back onto her head, neck and shoulders.  The impact was sickening, blood from both women pattering around them on the canvas and Aurelei bridged over into a pin, arching her back to lock it down tight.::

 

RJ:  “This could be it folks...wait a minute where's the referee?”

 

MS:  “Looks like Aurelei is wondering the same thing, I think I heard her shout something like 'count you idiot'...she doesn't realize that he's down!  When did that happen?”

 

::As this was going on, some of the more aware fans had noted that the curtain leading to the backstage area had parted, and strolling down to the ring at no hurried pace was none other than Aurora Jansen-Matthews.  She had not as yet changed to the outfit she'd be wearing to escort her husband down for the Main Event, but there would be plenty of time for that yet.  She looked relaxed as she took in what was going on in the ring...Aurelei had Kelsia down for a clear pin, the referee was groggy and unrising and a wicked seeming smile came to those plush lips with their dark cherry gloss.  As Aurelei disengaged from Kelsia and stood, half turned to see where the referee was and why he hadn't dropped to count Aurora slid under the bottom rope and entered the ring.  That smile faded and a look of intensity reserved usually for those she was in matches against took her lovely features, her green eyes narrowing down as she advanced on Aurelei.

 

As if she realized something was wrong Aurelei looked down, saw Kelsia still unmoving and then went to step towards the ref to rouse him, only to feel the strong grip of Aurora's hand spinning her back to face her and Jamison showed a bit of surprise for an instant, those white contacted eyes having long enough to focus on Aurora's face before the air was driven out of the already battered Lady Death by three hard sharp knees to the midsection and there were already a few people in the front rows starting to point.  This was not something that Aurora had ever done before, she'd used her knees but never like this.::

 

RJ:  “That...Mitchell that looks like..”

 

MS:  “Robbie if I didn't know better I'd say that was the Coil!!”

 

::It was indeed the Coil much to the shock of the crowd, but the shock wasn't over yet.  Aurora lifted Aurelei up over her shoulder in a fireman's carry and once she was over her shoulders she threw her upwards into a counter clockwise motion above her. When Aurelei was in midair Aurora dropped to a knee so Lady Death came crashing down on her bent knee on the back of her head and neck in a picture perfect move that the stunned and shouting crowd had seen so many times before but NEVER from anyone but ACW's World Heavyweight Champion himself, Snake.  There were screams from the fans and the techs ringside were slack jawed at seeing the hard impact as Aurora released Aurelei to slump to the mat, out cold.::

 

RJ:  “Tell me I didn't just ....it can't be!  It just can't be!”

 

MS:  “OH MY GOD INJECTION!  Aurora...Aurora just put Aurelei Jamison down with The Injection!”

 

RJ:  “But its not possible Mitchell...Snake never shows anyone how to...”

 

::But they had of course seen it with their own two eyes, the sea of flashes that had gone off from cell phones and digital cameras insured that the moment had been frozen in time to be posted later on YouTube at the very least.  To add insult to injury perhaps, Aurora rolled Aurelei to her back, arranging her limbs as if she were in a casket, and then drug the unconscious Kelsia over, rolled her on her belly and slung her arm over Aurelei's waist.  She then dropped, slid out of the ring and sprinted around to where the referee was groggily coming too, and shook his shoulder hard, pointing towards the middle of the ring.  He came to his senses quickly after that, not even rising to his feet as he crawled fast across the ring to the middle and his hand slapped down to the canvas with authority.::

 

ONE!  TWO! THREE!

 

::He waved for the bell as Aurora waved at him, and quickly made her way to the back to get changed for her next appearance in front of the fans.::

 

HL:  “And here is your winner and still World Women's Champion, KELSIA VECTOR!”

 

::The referee realized that both women were still out of it, an EMT sent from the back carrying his bag had already made it to the ring...perhaps sent by Aurora, as the announcers still expressed their shock over the whole thing.::

 

RJ:  “I still can't believe what I just saw Mitchell!  Tell me I didn't see that!”

 

MS: “Oh no, Robbie, we saw it alright...but I can't grasp what this means!  Snake...taught Aurora The Injection and she did it perfectly!  I can't get over how...how hot that was!”

 

RJ:  “Dear Lord every time I think there's hope for you, you just have to go and prove me wrong.”
