::As tech swarm the ringside area to set things up for the Defiance Chamber, videos are shown of the mini-rivalries within the members of both teams set for the main event. Hard-hitting matches between Logan Alexander and Eric Donavan along with Hyena and Devon Mayhem factor in most prominently, but each and every member of both sides are shown both getting and giving some of their hardest shots. Confrontations between Sarah and both sides of the match are scattered within as “Mouth for War” by Pantera plays as a part of the video package. The final confrontation from last week's Shockwave is the last image shown along with the voice-over from Snake stating the rules in the contract. The scene comes back to the present as the cage and tunnels are set up around the ring, the bell ringing to signal the start of the contest.::


HL: “And now, fans, it is time for the main event of the evening...the Defiance Chamber! As explained earlier in the night, two people will start this match with a new member of one team coming out every five minutes until the first four have entered and then every two minutes after that until all members are in the ring. The order has been chosen and the two teams are in place.”


::"Unbreakable" by Fireflight hits the speakers as the lights go down briefly, coming up in gold and white as Sarah's team steps out onto the stage. ACW World Heavyweight Champion Hyena comes out in the lead, holding up the Red Cerberus belt and letting out a roar as the thousands of fans in attendance pop at the sight of him. Next out is Yeh Ren with Kagrra at his side, earning a large dose of love from the crowd himself. Logan and Michaelina come out next, the former with the Survivor Championship over his shoulder, followed finally by the provocative Kaylyn Vaude and the always-dangerous John Gone.::


HL: "Approaching the ring first, at a combined weight of 1,228 pounds...the team of Michaelina Summers, Yeh Ren, Kaylyn Vaude, John Gone, the ACW Survivor Champion Logan Alexander and the ACW World Heavyweight Champion Hyena!"


RJ: "An impressive team no matter how you slice it, Mitchell, regardless of differing philosophies and styles!"


MS: "But are they impressive enough to stop Toxic Melody? Not as far as I'm concerned!"


::A shower of golden sparks shoot up from four separate positions on the stage before the six make their way down the ramp towards the rings-linked tunnels. A few of them, notably Logan, Michaelina and Yeh Ren, show a little appreciation to the crowd en route, the latter parting company with Kagrra once they arrive at the tunnel, leading her to take up space at ringside on her own for the time being. The song continues to pump out its lyrics as they reach their appointed spots as the pyrotechnics finish off.::


RJ: "Sarah is putting a lot of faith in these six..."


MS: "Misplaced as far as I'm concerned, but perhaps lightning will strike the ring or something and hit Snake, Devon AND Eric. That's about the only chance they have."


RJ: "Confident, are we?"


HL: "And their opponents..."


::The stadium lights go dark for several moments before haunting guitar riffs slither their way through the speakers, the opening to Korn's "Thoughtless" flowing over the capacity crowd, tense and restless waiting for the Main Event. The ACW-Tron shows the six members of Toxic Melody walking towards the screen through the hall of a darkened and derelict abandoned building. Once they cease their approach, the TM logo appears on screen and the montage lapses into images of their most intense and vicious moments. Green and purple lights come up in the arena as the spotlights converge on the stage entrance, a low layer of smoke rolling along it and the ramp. The music abruptly turns hard...::


"Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies,

Pushing all the mercy down, down, down.

I wanna see you try to take a swing at me.

Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground.


Why are you trying to make fun of me?

You think it's funny?

What the f*ck you think you're doing to me?

You take your turn lashing out at me.

I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me."


::Onto the stage walks the rebellious group en masse: Snake, Eric Donavan, Aurora Jansen, Aurelei Jamison, Devon Mayhem and Alexa Rose. Each person's gear has traces and designs bearing the Toxic Melody colors of black, green and purple along with their usual gear adornments. They stop at the top of the ramp as a shower of green and purple sparks rain down behind them while explosive bursts of pyro go off at the front corners of the stage, for a few moments overpowering the music in the background. The six pause at the top of the ramp to soak in the intensity of the reactions from the fans before making their way towards the ring tunnel.::


HL: "...wrestling tonight at a combined weight of 1,016 pounds...Devon Mayhem, Alexa Rose, Aurelei Jamison, ACW World Women's Champion Aurora Matthews, Eric Donavan and Snake...the team of Toxic Melody!"


"All of my hate cannot be found.

I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming.

So, you can try to tear me down,

Beat me to the ground,

I will see you screaming."


::All six make their way to the tunnel, eyeing their opponents with a combination of arrogance and determination, keeping their game faces on as they order up within the shell. The pyrotechnics and music fade out once the last person is in.::


MS: "Eric Donavan said it best this past week, Robbie! Toxic Melody is the equivalent of natural selection...the top of the food chain! What chance does Sarah's team have, honestly?"


RJ: "A better one than you think. Toxic Melody may be accomplished, but Sarah's team is determined...they all have scores to settle. Sometimes that's all a person needs."


MS: "They'd better hope so."


::The camera pans around the ringside area at the two rings sitting side by side on the grass as the cage lined in razor mesh is lowered into place. The cage is connected to two hard plastic tubes that lead from the sides of the stage and into the ring. In one hard shell next to the stage was Yeh Ren, Kaylyn Vaude, Michaelina Summers, John Gone, Logan Alexander and Hyena and on the other side of the stage in another shell was Alexa Rose, Aurelei Jamison, Aurora Matthews, Snake, Eric Donavon and Devon Mayhem.::


MS: “This match is designed to inflict harm on people, and I'm just curious who drew the short straws and starts.”


RJ: “And remember, this match is inter-gender so the men and the women will be facing off against one another. Lets see who starts us off.”


HL: “The first entrant for Sarah's Army is...Kaylyn Vaude!”


::The divider door for the shell came up and Kaylyn made her way through the clear tunnel and into the ring where she turned and waited for the first member of Toxic Melody as “Transform Ya” by Chris Brown played across the arena.::


RJ: “Sarah’s team could have done worse than the women they got in this match.”


MS: “And now we see who she starts with…oh no.”


RJ: “Oh this can’t be good!”


HL: “And entering the ring now for Toxic Melody...Snake!"


::Kaylyn watched with wide eyes as Snake came down the tunnel and climbed into the ring as “Enough” echoes all around him. Snake climbed into the ring as the Toxic Melody side of the tunnel slammed shut locking Kaylyn and beast in the ring together. Not even a ref was inside the two ringed caged structure called the Defiance Chamber.::


RJ: “This cannot be good. Kaylyn Vaude is stuck in that ring with the former four-time World Heavyweight Champion alone for five minutes.”


MS: “Even then she won't get help since Toxic Melody drew the first entrant advantage.”


RJ: “Her only hope is that Snake’s shoulder is not fully healed.”


::Snake walks forward with that sick smirk on his lips but Kaylyn doesn’t give an inch. She strikes out with a right hand that catches Snake across the jaw, even manages to turn his had slightly. Kaylyn comes in again for another hard right hand, but Snake blocks the strike and throws one of his own. Kaylyn ducks under the right hand and when Snake turns Kaylyn hits a standing back flip kick that instead of hitting Snake in the head it hits him in the shoulder.


Kaylyn doesn’t even give Snake a chance to rest and comes forward again to throttle him with a right hand, but this time Snake saw her coming in and ducked under the blow and this time it was Kaylyn who turned into a massive boot as Snake kicked her square in the month.::


RJ: “Oh my God! What a kick!”


MS: “Kaylyn may be out cold.”


::Kaylyn hit the mat and Snake took just a moment to stand over her before he leaned down and pulled her up by the hair. Snake launches the smaller woman into the ropes and when she returned he wrapped his arms around her, lifted and drives her down with a huge spinebuster. Kaylyn hit the mat and her back arched from the pain of the blow. Snake floated over to mount the smaller woman and began to pummel her with hard right hands.::


RJ: “Oh this is disgusting! Snake should just stop.”


MS: “What part of 'Snake' don’t you understand, Robert? This is what he does.”


::After the sixth or seventh right hand Snake pulled Kaylyn up by the throat and locked eyes with her. Snake turned and looked at the shell holding the members of Sarah’s Team and then lifted her up and chokeslammed her hard to the mat.::


RJ: “Snake should just end it here, finish the suffering.”


MS: “He cannot. The pinfalls cannot happen until all members have entered.”


::The crowd began to count with the ACW-Tron as it counted down from thirty. When the count finally ended the camera turned from Snake standing over the prone body of Kaylyn Vaude to the ACW-Tron as the counter hit zero and then Heather lifted her mike.::


HL: “Toxic Melody has won the advantage coin toss..."


MS: "Things are about to get much worse for Kaylyn! The only question is...how much?"


HL: "...and their next entrant is..."


::Before Heather Lee could announce the next entrant, PoisonBlack's "Rush" hits the PA System and Devon Mayhem comes down the tunnel and into the ring. The coin toss had been won by Toxic Melody and the random flips had chosen Devon Mayhem. Snake’s lips curled into a wide smirk as he rolled Kaylyn over to her stomach and then stepped back. Devon leaned down and pulled Kaylyn to her feet and then with Kaylyn wavering on her feet Devon leapt into the air, snatched her by the head and dropped her face first to the mat...all before his music had even faded.::


RJ: “Mayhem Spike!”


::Once Kaylyn had been laid out Snake moved to a far corner and jumped up to sit casually. Devon went to the other corner and did the same. The two as a single motion lifted their hands and motioned to the shell holding Sarah’s team. Motioned them forward, motioned them in.::


RJ: “I think Snake and Devon are mocking the other team.”


MS: “And this surprises you, Robert? They should consider it a glimpse of their future!”


::For the entire length of the five minutes Snake and Devon sat on the turn buckles and waited until the timer showed up on the screen and counted down. Even after the timer began to wind down neither Snake nor Devon moved off their perches.::


MS: “Don’t look concerned do they?”


RJ: “Well we know it’s a member of Sarah’s team coming out now, but who could it be?”


::”Whisper” by Unsung began to play and Michaelina Summers looked up as the Shell barricade door opened and she made her way down the tunnel. Once in the ring Michaelina stepped over the ropes and Snake and Devon looked at one another. Each man lifted a hand and Michaelina could only watch on in disbelief.::


HL: "The next entrant for Sarah's Army...the 'Vegas Princess'...Michaelina Summers!"


RJ: “Am I seeing what I think I am seeing?”


MS: “Snake and Devon Mayhem are playing rock-paper-scissors!”


::Snake picks scissors and Devon picks paper. The camera catches Snake smirk and leap off the turn buckle and land on the apron with a faint thud. Slowly he walks across the ring until he comes near her and then bursts forward with a burst of speed, but he didn’t count on the fact that he and Devon let Kaylyn have five minutes to rest and she reaches out as Snake bursts past and grabs his foot. Snake stumbles just briefly but it was enough for the fresh Michaelina as she arched her back and connected the side of her foot with the side of his face.


Snake fell to the mat but he didn't stay down long. He rolled to the side and came up to a knee. Michaelina would not throw a blow to a man who was down, not even someone like Snake, but Kaylyn knew him better then that. She had gotten back to her feet and as Snake got up onto his hands and knees she came forward and delivered a punt kick to the side of the head that didn't quite turn the lights off, but did dim them.::


MS: “Oh my God, what a kick!”


RJ: “Kaylyn may have turned his lights off.”


::Michaelina had drifted over to the ropes. Kaylyn raced forward and leapt at her own partner, but instead of hitting her Michaelina lifted her up and launched her over her body. Kaylyn landed on the top rope and actually ran along the length of the top rope to Devon, who was so shocked he couldn't do anything when Kaylyn leapt into his shoulders and flipped him off the top rope with a hurricanrana.


Devon hit the mat hard and rolled until he almost hit Snake. Michaelina mounted on turnbuckle and Kaylyn the other. Snake and Devon got back to their feet and Michaelina and Kaylyn leapt from the turnbuckles simultaneously. Kaylyn hit Devon in a cross body that slammed Mister Mayhem into the mat. Michaelina ht Snake with a dropkick that dropped him back to the mat.::


RJ: “Sarah's team is gaining momentum!”


MS: “Yeah, but here comes the newest entrant of Toxic Melody!”


::The ACW-Tron showed the timer countdown to zero and then “Cold” by Static-X hit the PA System and the Toxic Melody side opened to release the newest participant, 'The HellKat' Aurora Matthews. Aurora comes down the tunnel until she enters the dual ringed cage and then makes a bee line for Michaelina who has been trying to mount Snake to throw blows to keep him docile.


Aurora ran at Michaelina and jumped for her, but the Vegas Princess catches her coming in. With Aurora in her arms Michaelina lifted her up and then launched her face first into the steel mesh of the cage. Aurora crashed into the cage and fell to the side beneath the ropes. Michaelina grabbed the top rope and began to put the boots to her.


Once she was done with Aurora, Michaelina turned but when she turned Snake was back up and in mid-movement as she turned she found herself looking down the size-16 boot as he big booted her square in the face. Michaelina sailed over the top rope and all but landed on Aurora in the other ring.::


RJ: “Oh my god, what a boot!”


MS: “I think Michaelina might be out cold.”


::Kaylyn ran for the ropes, landed on the middle rope and tried for a Asai moonsault, but as she came down Devon was up to a single knee and caught Kaylyn across the shoulders. Without waiting he stood up to his full height and drives her down with a powerslam. Devon pops back up just as Snake is helping Aurora to her feet from under the ropes where Michaelina left her.


Once he got Aurora up Snake took a knee to catch his breath. Aurora pulls Michaelina by the arm across the first ring and then proceeds to outstretch her arm and lock her into the gogoplata choke hold she calls the Extreme Vice Phenomenon.::


MS: “Aurora has the EVP locked in!”


RJ: “What's the point, it's not like she can win the match. No pinfalls or submissions until after all members of the teams are in the cage.”


MS: “Yes, but Michaelina could be sleeping for the match.”


::Michaelina instead of flailing around grabbed Aurora's hips and pulled her up before dropping her back down with a power bomb that shook the very foundation of the cage around them from the force of the impact.::
