Victor Cross enters the ring, the Durem crowd pumped for the final match of the night. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is your main event, and is the first ever Civil War match! Five members from the blue team and five members from the gray team will enter the ring at the beginning of the match. After five minutes, a coin toss will be held backstage, and whichever team wins the coin toss will be able to send five of their members down to the ring. After another five minutes, the team who lost the coin toss will be able to send a group of five down. The next two groups will be groups of four, and whoever lost the coin toss will be able to send out their final warrior after that. And the last person to enter the ring will be the final warrior of the winners of the coin toss. To be eliminated in this match, you must be thrown over the top rope, and both your feet must touch the floor. Once an entire team is eliminated, the remaining members of the remaining team will then try to eliminate each other. The final two people remaining will then participate in a singles match, and the only way to be eliminated will be to be pinned or to submit. You will be disqualified for not getting into the ring after a minute of being released down to the ring. All eliminations count, no matter who performs them. If you go over the top rope, you are eliminated, no matter who eliminated you. The winner will become the Number One Contender for the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship! Now, let's get this match underway!"

"Revolution Man" by The Union Underground hits, the crowd deciding to cheer, seeing as no heel or face teams are defined tonight. As the main beat of the song hits, Darson Grays suddenly throws open the curtains, striding quickly out onto the entrance ramp, followed by Twilight Tokyo Rose, Xyler, and the Renegade Souljahz. Dar throws his arms up into an X while Twilight holds up the Small Fry Title, Xyler throwing his arms out to the side in a cross position while the Souljahz look out to the sides with their arms crossed. Dar starts down the entrance ramp after a few moments, the rest of this part of his team quickly following after him. "Introducing Twilight Toko Rose, Xyler, The Renegade Souljahz, and 'The X Factor'...Darson Grays!" Dar slides under the bottom rope into the ring, Twilight following after him while Xyler jumps up onto the apron and slips throuhgh the ropes, the Souljahz taking the steel steps. Dar runs across the ring and jumps up onto the ropes, one foot on the bottom, the other on the middle, grabbing the top rope with one hand to steady himself and raising the other up in the air, bouncing a few times before jumping back down, removing his longcoat and shades while the rest of his team removes unnecessary clothing and accessories, "Revolution Man" fading out.

"Princes of the Universe" by Queen starts, the crowd deciding to cheer once again, not having a pick on teams in this match, everyone rooting for one particular person to win the match as a whole. Apolo, Shady, Akira Tenshin, Kid Chaos and Makuta exit the curtains and walk out onto the entrance ramp, the crowd cheering a bit louder. "Introducing Akira Tenshin, Shady, Kid Chaos, Makuta and Apolo!" None of the people except for Akira and Makuta seem to care too much about the crowd, Akira seeming a bit happy to get a good reaction, Makuta used to this by now, the two quickly following their group down to the ring. The five men slide into the ring, each one matching up with someone on the gray team, a staredown taking place, Dar and Apolo in the middle. Shady is the one to take the first blow, hitting Xyler with a quick right hand, the rest of the people responding with attacks of their own. Joe, who is currently standing at ringside, not having to enter the ring until the very last people are in it, quickly turns and motions for the bell, not bothering to break up the brawl, instead deciding to let this match get underway.

DING DING DING!

The two teams continue to brawl, mostly trading punches and knocking each other back toward the ropes. Dar waits until he gets a clear lane, then whips Apolo across the ring, running forward and meeting him with a Shoulderblock, knocking Apolo down to the mat. Dar hits a few stomps to Apolo while he's down, then reaches down and grabs him by the head, lifting him up and whipping him into the corner before running forward and hitting a Stinger Splash, crushing Apolo back into the corner. Shady manages to capitalize on getting the element of surprise with Xyler, hitting him with a string of punches and knocking him back a bit before grabbing his head and quickly pulling him down into the Buzzkiller DDT. Shady quickly gets up and crouches down over Xyler, hitting a quick forearm across the back of his head, then pulls Xyler back into a Camel Clutch, smirking as he wrenches back on his neck. The Powerhouse and Makuta trade punches for a few moments, and The Powerhouse manages to get the advantage, the beating Makuta took in the Triple Threat earlier tonight obviously taking its toll. The Powerhouse wraps his arms around Makuta's waist before lifting him up in the air and turning to the side, slamming Makuta down into the mat face-first with a Flapjack. Makuta scrunches his body up and clutches his face, The Powerhouse quickly getting up and pulling Makuta over towards the ropes. Twilight Tokyo Rose hits a quick forearm to the side of Akira Tenshin's head, knocking him back and following it up with a quick series of kicks to his outer thighs and abdomen, finally jumping up and hitting a Hurricarana, tossing Akira across the ring. Twilight quickly runs forward once she has a clear lane, jumping up and hitting a Knee Drop, driving her knee right into the back if Akira's neck. Twilight picks Akira up, then pushes him into the corner, hitting a quick Knife-Edge Chop. Kid Chaos and The Eliminator lock up into a grapple, but the bigger Kid Chaos wins easily, quickly reaching down and grabbing The Eliminator around the waist before picking him up and turning around to deliver a harsh Spinebuster, driving The Eliminator's back down into the mat.

Dar bounces off Apolo after hitting the Stinger Splash, grabbing Apolo as he stumbles out of the corner and twisting him upside down before slamming him into the corner and tying his legs up with the top turnbuckle in a Tree of Woe. Dar steps back and crouches down, the crowd erupting into cheers as he charges forward and drives his shoulder into Apolo's stomach, Apolo unable to do anything to guard himself in this position. Dar grabs Apolo around the waist after hitting the Spear, picking him up and pulling him out of the Tree of Woe, then pulls Apolo against his stomach before dropping down in a Sit-Out Tombstone Piledriver! The crowd erupts into cheers as Dar lets Apolo drop to the mat, then stands up, throwing one arm up in the air before pointing out to the floor, the crowd popping huge for this, ready to see Apolo get eliminated. Shady continues to pull back on Xyler's neck in a Camel Clutch, but knows he can't make him tap out in this match. Finally, Shady stands up, pulling Xyler up by his hair before whipping him into the ropes, picking him up as he comes back and dropping him down in a Back Body Drop. The crowd gasps as Xyler is thrown dangerously close to the ropes, but he manages to land inside the ring. Shady seems a bit annoyed at this, quickly moving over to finish the job. The Powerhouse picks Makuta up after he drags him over to the ropes, but Makuta suddenly knocks The Powerhouse's arms away, grabbing his head and jumping up on the nearby ropes, using them to spin around and hit a Tornado DDT! Makuta picks The Powerhouse up, but Powerhouse suddenly runs up the ropes and jumps off the other side, Guillotining Makuta's neck on the ropes! The Powerhouse doesn't let go of Makuta's head, however, using it to keep himself from reaching the floor, but Makuta slowly starts to slip over the top rope. Suddenly, Makuta topples over! But Makuta grabs the rope! The Powerhouse manages to swing over and grab the ropes as well! The two men look over at each other, Makuta suddenly swinging over with a kick to The Powerhouse's mid-section, but The Powerhouse responds with one of his own, the two trading kicks for a few moments, then finally decide to continue later, both pulling themselves back up into the ring.

Twilight backs up a bit from Akira, then runs forward and goes for a Monkey Flip, but Akira flips her over the ropes! Twilight manages to land on the apron, however, and pulls herself up onto the top rope, grabbing Akira's neck from behind and flipping over to hit a Springboard Diamond Dust! Akira rolls over onto his back and clutches his neck, Twilight grinning as she quickly kips up. Twilight moves over and grabs Akira's legs, shifting his body a bit before falling backwards and hitting a Slingshot Catapult, Akira flying right up to have his head connect with the top turnbuckle of the corner. Akira stumbles backwards out of the corner, turning around right into a LIGHTS OU-NO! Akira grabs Twilight's foot, spinning her around and going for a STUNN-NO! Twilight picks grabs Akira as he jumps up and tosses him out of the ring! Akira Tenshin has been eliminated! Akira turns around and stares up at Twilight, who just smirks down at him for a few moments before turning to get herself back into the match. A ref comes up to Akira and tells him to go back to the locker rooms, and after a few moments, Akira shakes his head, walking slowly back up the ramp, seeming unable to believe he was eliminated. Kid Chaos picks up The Eliminator after hitting the Spinebuster, spinning him upside down and hooking his arms through The Eliminator's legs, smirking out to the crowd before dropping to a sitting position and crushing The Eliminator's neck down into the mat with a Cradle Piledriver! Kid Chaos stands up and and picks The Eliminator up, looking like he's about to throw him out of the ring, but turns to the side to see Dar picking up Apolo after hitting the Sit-Out Tombstone Piledriver, about ready to do the same thing to Apolo as Kid Chaos was going to do to The Eliminator. After a few moments, Kid Chaos decides to save his partner rather than eliminate The Eliminator, dropping him to the mat in a Gorilla Press Slam and quickly running across the ring, hitting a Shoulderblock to Dar and knocking him down, Apolo falling to the mat, breathing heavily as he looks over towards the ropes, very glad he wasn't eliminated. Dar gets up quickly, staring down Kid Chaos, a difference of only three inches between the two men.

Kid Chaos doesn't back down despite the slight size difference, the two suddenly locking up into a grapple. After a few seconds of fighting, Dar manages to win, hitting a quick knee to Kid Chaos' gut before lifting him up in a Fireman's Carry, wrenching down on his legs and neck in an Argentine Back Breaker. Apolo gets up quickly and goes to stop this, but Dar suddenly shifts to the side, driving Kid Chaos' head right into Apolo's chest, stunning him for a moment, then swings around in a quick 180 degree turn, slamming Kid Chaos' feet right into the side of Apolo's head, knocking him down to the mat. Dar turns again, standing to the side of Apolo, then drops to the side, hitting a Death Valley Driver, slamming Kid Chaos' head right down into Apolo's stomach! The crowd cheers at this innovative maneuver, Dar smirking as he picks Kid Chaos back up, setting him up in a Reverse Waistlock, then hits a Release German Suplex, throwing Kid Chaos out of the ring! Kid Chaos has been eliminated! Kid Chaos lands on his stomach, having done almost a full flip from the Release German Suplex, laying on the ground for a few moments before looking back up towards the ring with a frustrated look on his face. Dar turns, looking to eliminate Apolo as well, but Apolo is already up and moving across the ring to where The Eliminator is starting to get up. Dar runs forward in an attempt to stop Apolo, but he's too late, and Apolo catches The Eliminator with a Clothesline as he stands up, knocking him over the ropes and out of the ring! The Eliminator has been eliminated! The Eliminator looks up at the ring, clutching his neck from where he was Cradle-Piledrived from Kid Chaos, then sighs, getting up and moving to the back. Dar runs forward in an attempt to eliminate Apolo with a Clothesline from behind, but Apolo manages to duck down and pull the ropes down in a Low Bridge! Dar goes right over them, but manages to grab the ropes, swinging his legs up to land on the apron. Apolo goes for a punch, but Dar ducks and slams his shoulder through the ropes into Apolo's gut, then slips through the ropes and hits a quick Bulldog to Apolo as he stumbles and turns away from Dar.

Twilight turns to see Xyler in trouble, quickly running over and grabbing Shady from behind, lifting him up to hit a Back Suplex, slamming his neck down into the mat before he could attack Xyler again. Xyler starts to use the ropes to pull himself up, giving a quick nod to Twilight in thanks. Twilight returns the nod, then picks Shady up again, pushing him stomach-first into the turnbuckles before setting him up on the top rope, climbing up and setting Shady up for a German Superplex, but as she tosses Shady back, he lands on his feet, grabbing Twilight and flipping her over to set on his shoulders, then spins around as if to to for the SHADOW OF DEA-NO! Xyler intterupts it with a Dropkick, sending Shady over the ropes! Shady manages to grab the top rope, however, setting his feet on the apron and rolling under the bottom rope back into the ring. Xyler and Twilight grab Shady, however, and set him up against the ropes, bouncing him off and whipping him across the ring, catching him as he comes back and hitting a Double Back Body Drop, Shady going up high in the air from the combined strength of Xyler and Twilight, landing on his back harshly, making him arch on the mat and cry out. Meanwhile, The Powerhouse and Makuta have gotten up after getting back into the ring from their precarious situation. The Powerhouse strikes first, coming in with a harsh European Uppercut to Makuta before grabbing him by the head and slamming his face down onto his knee, grabbing Makuta from behind and locking him in a Full Nelson. Makuta tries to fight out of the maneuver, but after a few seconds with the hold cinched in, The Powerhouse picks Makuta up and drives him down into the mat with a Full Nelson Slam. The Powerhouse picks up Makuta, setting him up on his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry, then throws one arm up and calls out to the crowd "PhD!", the crowd getting up on their feet in anticipation of a Powerhouse Drop, but Makuta manages to slip off his shoulders, The Powerhouse from behind and hitting a Reverse DDT. The crowd doesn't seem too disappointed, however, instead excited as the clock is winding down.

"5...4...3...2...1..."

Victor Cross listens to his earpiece for a moment, then calls into the mic. "The winner of the coin flip is...THE BLUE ARMY!!!"

“Miseria Cantare (The Beginning)” by AFI begins to play across the Durem sound system. The opening is skipped as the song goes almost directly to the lyrics and the second wave for the blue army, made up of Austin Azure, Iron, Eclipse, Sean Carbon, and Irvine Kanyon; make their way out from the back onto the entrance ramp. “Introducing, for the Blue Army, the team of Iron, Eclipse, Sean Carbon, Irvine Kanyon, and Austin Azure!” Leading the charge for this next wave is Austin who signals to those behind him to follow him down the entrance ramp and to not play up to the crowd. Kanyon ignores Azure some but the Television Champion seems to be pretty serious as he leads his team down to the ring and has them roll under the ropes and into the ring. Once everyone is inside of the ring Austin looks around and tells them to help fallen comrades to their feet and help out with the fighting. Iron goes over and helps Makuta to his feet as Carbon assists Apolo who is still fighting with Darson. Xyler and Twilight are both back to their feet and begin to fight with Kanyon and Eclipse as Austin sits back and continues to yell orders. Darson is backed into a corner by Carbon and Apolo who keep striking out at him but Dar refuses to give up and fires back with kicks, punches, and chops of his own. Anything to keep them away and stave them off until the Gray Army can recuperate. Once Iron has helped Makuta up they both turn their attention to The Powerhouse who is making his way up to his feet using the ropes next to him. Iron charges at him and nails him with a hard shoulder block that takes Powerhouse back off of his feet as Makuta keeps himself held up on the ropes catching his breath. Back in the middle of the ring Xyler and Twilight have managed to find an opening for the Gray Army by beating back Kanyon and Eclipse. Austin looks out from the corner where he has stationed himself but doesn’t seem worried as Kanyon hits a knee to Twilight and Eclipse kicks Xyler in the gut before placing him into a front facelock. As Eclipse lifts Xyler into the air Kanyon pulls Twilight into a standing head scissors. From the corner Austin yells for Eclipse to keep Xyler held up for a moment and points to Kanyon who brings Twilight up before slamming her down with a simple yet effective powerbomb. Eclipse then knows what he has to do as he walks over to where Twilight is laying on the ground and hits a Brainbuster on Xyler who lands on the abdomen of Twilight!

The Durem crowd cheers for this move knowing full well that it hurt the individuals it was performed on but not caring. Back in the corner where Darson has planted himself he seems to be losing as Apolo has him pinned in the corner using his elbow while Carbon delivers some shots to the face of Dar. The crowd over near that corner is pretty behind the two individuals who are laying into Darson but question how they’re handling things as Carbon tells Apolo to let go of a beat down Dar while he is backing up, readying himself for a big impact move. Once Apolo has let go Darson’s slowly stumbles from the corner as Carbon runs at him for the FISSION! Just before he hits though Darson sidesteps it and Carbon flies past Dar into the corner where he nails his shoulder on the ring post. Apolo goes to hit Dar to stop his momentum but Darson hits Apolo with a kick to the gut before taking him and hitting him with a quick DDT. Darson then walks out to near the center of the ring where he measures Carbon who is coming out of the corner holding his shoulder. As soon as Carbon turns so he is facing Darson the AoE leader sprints at him before connecting with the SPEAR! Both men hit the ground hard and it becomes instantly clear that Darson isn’t going to be able to capitalize as he turns over onto his back resting. Meanwhile The Powerhouse hasn’t had anymore luck with Makuta and Iron as he too is being beat down in a corner. After some continuous stomps to the head and chest of The Powerhouse who is sitting on his bottom in the corner Makuta tells Iron to pick him up. Iron doesn’t seem to like the idea of following orders from a smaller individual at first but does so. Makuta then tells him to put Powerhouse into a Full Nelson which Iron also does before Makuta begins to punch at the abdomen of The Powerhouse. After a few hard blows The Powerhouse begins to try and fight out of the hold by kicking at Makuta. He misses however after bringing his leg back from the kick he swiftly swings his leg backwards hitting Iron low and making the big man release the hold. From his corner Austin sees this and yells at Eclipse to go over and help with that situation as he cleans up this mess with Kanyon. Eclipse shoots Azure a look of displeasure before going over to help, knowing that his shot at a BTWF World Heavyweight Championship shot is on the line and he doesn’t want to lose it.

The Powerhouse begins to brawl with Makuta as Iron holds himself up on the ropes and Eclipse comes over to help the two members of his team. As he gets there he ends up catching Makuta who is knocked back by a hard blow from The Powerhouse. Roughly he pushes Makuta away from him before hitting The Powerhouse with a hard blow to the face. This makes Powerhouse stumble backwards some but he doesn’t go down. Instead he fires back with a punch of his own but it doesn’t have much effect. Eclipse then pulls his fist back before firing another shot at The Powerhouse, this time though The Powerhouse drops down out of the way and makes Eclipse miss and hit Iron instead. Iron takes the blow pretty good but looks very angry about being hit by his own teammate. Eclipse tries to explain but doesn’t get the time as Iron drops him with a hard chop to the chest. While this is going on Austin and Kanyon have dragged Xyler up to his feet and each set him into a front facelock. They lift him into the air before walking slowly backwards and dumping Xyler out of the ring and onto the floor. Xyler has been eliminated! Azure then looks over and sees Iron and Eclipse fighting, much to his displeasure as he had things going so well for the Blue Army. He yells at both of them to cut it out but the two big men keep slugging at each other. Suddenly though Iron hits a shot that seems to really get to Eclipse and knock him silly. With his rage still fueled though Iron grabs Eclipse by the throat and then lifts him up before turning to face the ropes and setting Eclipse on them. Austin comes over and begins to try and reason with him but suddenly Shady, who has been resting on the ground until now, goes over to Azure and asks why Iron should listen to him. Austin and Shady begin to exchange words as suddenly Darson comes up from behind Iron and clubs him across the back making him let go of Eclipse who falls to the outside! Eclipse has been eliminated! Darson continues throwing clubbing blows at the back of Iron but Makuta is back up and tries to stop him. The Powerhouse is back up though and he intercepts Makuta and they begin to fight as Darson grabs Iron’s legs and tries to get him up over the top rope.

Iron won’t go over without a fight though and that is exactly what Darson is giving the giant as he tries to overtake him. It seems that just a little more help would allow the Gray Army to eliminate Iron and that is exactly what Dar gets as Twilight is back up holding her abdominal area. Darson looks back and sees her before telling her to charge at Iron. Twilight bounces back into the ropes and does just that. She hits Iron hard as Dar uses all the strength he can muster to push Iron over the top rope! Iron has been eliminated! The Durem crowd can’t seem to believe that an almost 400 pound man was taken out of this match by only Twilight and Darson but their disbelief doesn’t take long to fade as they get back to watching the match. Both Darson and Twilight are resting on the ground now and Austin and Shady look like they are about to rip each other apart. Just before that happens though Austin sees that Makuta has The Powerhouse on the ropes and shouts for Makuta to move which the worn down wrestler does. Azure then shoots forward at The Powerhouse and slams him with a Lariat that not only takes him over the ropes but makes him do a full rotation as he is taken to the outside. The Powerhouse has been eliminated! Austin has a smirk across his face after delivering that Lariat and the Durem crowd is chanting “you got served” at The Powerhouse because the Durem favorite eliminated him. Azure doesn’t just sit around savoring his victory though and tells his team to eliminate the other two now. Shady though once again gets up in Austin’s face and asks why he should listen to Azure. Austin tells Shady he should listen to him because unlike Shady he knows wrestling and isn’t just a wannabe rapper. This gets under Shady’s skin and he hits Austin in the face with a right hand. Azure retaliates with a vicious chop to the chest of Shady that knocks him back. Before the two can get going at it fully though Makuta steps in between them and tries to reason with both guys. He tells them that in order for either of them to get their title shots or he to get his they need to first work together to eliminate the Gray Army. Austin agrees but argues that to do that they need leadership and someone who has a clue what he is doing in the ring. This offends Shady who argues that he has been big in the BTWF before Austin was even wrestling.

The argument continues to breakdown as Apolo and Carbon slowly make their way up and go over to where their teammates are bickering. Kanyon also goes over and surprisingly joins Azure side saying that already thanks to Austin they eliminated more people than the first wave did. Carbon argues though that all Austin is doing is preserving himself so he can win. Apolo steps into Carbon’s face though and says that without Austin leading the charge and someone like Carbon taking it over it would have never worked. Finally it all breaks down as the mutiny sets Apolo, Kanyon, and Azure against Carbon and Shady with Makuta just standing to the side and deciding to conserve his energy. Austin and Shady get into a chop fest in the middle of the ring as Kanyon and Apolo target the injured arm of Carbon and start beating him down back into the ropes. Darson and Twilight are still both down and don’t have the energy to waste while the Blue Army is tearing themselves apart. As Apolo and Kanyon get Carbon backed up onto the ropes Azure slams Shady with a hard chop before nailing him in the face with a forearm that takes him down to the mat. He then grabs Shady by the head and pulls him back to his feet before putting him in position for a possible Fisherman’s Suplex. Instead of this though Austin brings Shady up into position for the Tundra Drop ’04! Azure doesn’t immediately go for it though as he starts to yell at Shady to agree to follow orders so he doesn’t get taken out. Shady tries to sound tough as he begins to argue with Austin again but knows he may have no other choice than to agree. Back with Apolo, Kanyon, and Carbon the two who sided with Azure have the big man stuck up against the ropes but they can’t eliminate him so he stops causing trouble for the team. Apolo then tells Kanyon to try something like Twilight and Darson did so Kanyon backs away from Carbon as Apolo keeps his legs held. After getting far enough away Kanyon sprints at Carbon and jumps up to hit him with a crossbody but Carbon catches as he hits it. Apolo though doesn’t know this and uses all his weight and strength to push Carbon up over the top rope as Kanyon hits the move. As Carbon and Kanyon fall to the outside Azure looks up in horror as he sees two more of his teammates plummet to the ground leaving him with even less of a chance than before. Sean Carbon and Irvine Kanyon have been eliminated! Austin cusses loudly as this is announced and puts Shady down before cussing even louder as he sees the clock is winding down.

“5…4…3…2…1…”

The crowd turns towards the entrance ramp, a strange silence moving over the crowd before suddenly a voice shouts out BRUISES!. The fans that have traveled from Barton to Durem to see this Pay-Per-View immediately get on their feet and begin to cheer extremely loudly, but the Durem fans stay quiet. Even though "Bruises" by Skindred hasn't ever been heard as an entrance theme in the BTWF before the fans have a feeling they know who it belongs to. Out through the curtains come Seraph and Ravena, followed by Raymond Kage and finally, Kat.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Seraph, Ravena, Raymond Kage, Kat and..." Victor stops, waiting to announce the last person. Suddenly, as the first chorus of the song plays, the one and only Steve "Savior" Twist emerges from the curtains, his head bowed, looking down at the ramp. The crowd notices the larger knee pad Twist is wearing from where Omega had locked in the Omega's Prison so ruthlessly one month ago to win the BTWF World Championship, as well as some tape beneath it to keep it steady. Suddenly, Twist throws his arms out to the side and tosses his head back, his hood flying off as he does so as he stares up at the ceiling. "...Steve 'Savior' Twist!!!" The crowd in Durem stays silent, not completely willing to cheer the rival of Omega, a fan favorite in Durem, but an air of respect is held throughout the arena, the fans obviously appreciative of Twist's wrestling skills, no matter who he's feuding with.

Twist lowers his arms and head, then calls for his group to follow him, quickly running down to the ring and sliding under the ropes. Azure calls to his teammates in an effort to get themselves organized, but the Gray Army is already on them, quickly taking over and pairing up with an opponent. However, as Kat goes to attack Austin Azure, he simply steps to the side, but in her overzealousness, Kat keeps running, falling over the rop ropes and out of the ring! Kat has been eliminated! The crowd immediately begins a chorus of laughter as Kat gets up, quickly running to the back to avoid embarrassment. Everyone in the ring just shakes their heads for a moment, Dar and Twilight getting up at this point, ready to help their fresh group of teammates. Dar looks over at Kanyon, who has managed to get up after being tossed to the outside with Sean Carbon, Dar seeming a bit upset at losing one of his own faction members, but Kanyon just gives Dar a cheeky grin, gesturing over to Carbon. Dar seems a bit confused, but a grin slowly spreads across his face as he realized Kanyon was attempting to help Dar's team the whole time. Kanyon gives Dar a thumbs up, giving a quick nod to Seraph and Ravena as well before heading back up the ramp. The Gray Army quickly takes advantage of the current state of disorder the Blue Army is in, Dar pairing up with Apolo while Twilight takes Shady, Twist going after Azure almost immediately, Seraph and Ravena going to double team Makuta. Kage, however, merely backs off and crosses his arms, watching the action from the corner with a scowl on his face, seeming not to want to get involved with a team consisting mostly of a faction that his is currently feuding with. Dar and Apolo lock up in a grapple, the two big men fighting for a few moments, but Apolo manages to take advantage of his superior strength, pushing Dar back into the corner and hitting a hard European Uppercut before setting Dar on the top turnbuckle, Dar trying to regain his senses after the harsh forearm uppercut, knowing he's in a dangerous position here. Apolo grabs Dar around the waist, lifting him up as if he's just going to toss Dar over the side, but Dar grabs Apolo, pulling him into a Front Facelock and cinching his arm up under Apolo's chin in a choke, able to do this due to the lack of disqualifications in this match. Apolo knows that if he throws Dar off, Dar will just take Apolo with him, and Apolo can't take the choking much longer. He grudgingly releases Dar, but Dar capitalizes, lifting Apolo up before falling forward and slamming him down to the mat with a Reverse Superplex!

Twilight manages to get the drop on Shady, taking advantage of the fact that, although Azure hadn't actually hit the Tundra Drop '04, he still had held Shady upside down for quite a while, and all the blood had yet to drain from Shady's head. Twilight knows this, and thus picks Shady up onto her shoulders in a Fireman's Carry before suddenly spinning around at a high speed, Shady's dizziness from the blood in his head now enlarged by the Airplane Spin. Twilight finally stops, carrying Shady over to the ropes and tossing him to the outside! Shady, amazingly, still has the wits about him to grab the ropes with one hand, swinging in a way resembling a pendulum. Twilight, however, thinks that she's eliminated Shady, and thus walks away to join the rest of her team, giving Shady enough time to collect himself and roll under the bottom rope back into the ring. Makuta seems to be a bit unsure of what to do in the situation of both Ravena and Seraph coming at him, but suddenly, Seraph holds out his hand. Makuta blinks for a few moments, then raises an eyebrow, on guard. Seraph smirks, then tells Makuta he's offering a truce to get rid of the rest of the Blue Army. Makuta seems a bit cautious to accept this, then remembers the way Azure was ordering him around before, giving a nod and a smile befor shaking the hand of Seraph. The three turn to face the rest of the team, Gray Team's ranks now bolstered quite well. Meanwhile, in the middle of the ring, it's a staredown between a veteran of the BTWF and possibly the most controversial newcomer. Azure and Twist are locked in the staredown, the height difference of three inches not enough to make Azure back down whatsoever. The two suddenly lock up into a grapple, the two men fighting for a few long moments, either one able to gain control of the grapple. Finally, Twist grabs Austin's arm and twists it around into a Hammerlock, but Austin easily twists right out of that and pulls Twist into a Hammerlock of his own. Twist does the same thing as Austin, however, twisting around to lock in another Hammerlock. Twist goes to bar Austin's arm, but Austin just barely manages to pull out of it before Twist can do so, suddenly throwing his arm forward and twisting to the side to hit the Nightfall! Twist gets knocked down to the mat from the Hammerlock Clothesline, but quickly rolls back up to a vertical base, not seeming phased by the attack.

Dar and Apolo have finally started to get back up after Dar delivering the Reverse Superplex, the two suddenly coming forward once they get on one knee, each man throwing hard punches. Dar manages to string a series of punches and chops after a few moments, standing up and grabbing Apolo by the arm and tossing him into the turnbuckles with a Deep Arm Drag! Apolo's spine slams into the metal turnbuckles before he slumps to the ground, obviously dazed from the sudden harsh attack. Dar takes this time to get his energy back, holding onto the ropes and turning to survey the ring. Twilight was about to go over and help Twist with fighting Austin, but is suddenly grabbed from behind by Shady, who picks her up in a Backbreaker, slamming her down on his knee. Shady doesn't stop there, keeping Twilight in the hold and hitting two more Backbreakers before shifting her up onto her stomach on his shoulder and falling down in a Vertical Powerslam, driving Twilight's back down into the mat once again. Seraph sees this, directing Ravena to go help Twilight and Makuta to help Twist while he goes to help out Dar. They both nod, then head over to their respective teammates, though temporary in Makuta's case. Seraph runs over to help Twist as both he and Austin stand up, but Twist suddenly holds up a hand, indicating that he wanted to take Austin alone. Seraph seems a bit confused by this, but his confusion is suddenly intrrupted by a clubbing blow to the back of the head by Raymond Kage, the Chaos Affinity member obviously letting his hatred for the Archetypes of eXcellence get in the way of his want for a title shot. Twist looks like he wants to help Seraph, but Austin is already up, and the Savior turns his attention back to the "man with talent on loan from God". Twist and Austin lock up into another grapple, the two exchanging Reverse Waistlocks for a few moments before Twist manages to get the upper hand, taking Austin down onto his stomach and sliding forward to lock in a Side Headlock. Austin seems rather annoyed at getting put into a hold, slowly pushing himself up to a standing position, grabbing Twist as if to go for a Back Suplex, but Twist suddenly sweeps Austin's leg out from under him and hits a modified Reverse Russian Legsweep!

Kage knocks Seraph down to the mat with an Axe-Handle to the back of the head before beginning to stomp repeatedly on his lower back. Kage then reaches down and lifts Seraph up in a Reverse Facelock, lifting him up in the air before dropping backwards and hitting a Reverse Brainbuster! Seraph crumples as his head is driven into the mat, Kage quickly standing up and grinning maniacally down at Seraph. Kage grabs Seraph and drags him over to the corner, slamming him back into the turnbuckles before jumping up onto the middle ropes and beginning to hit a flurry of punches down onto Seraph's head. Rather than stopping at ten, however, Kage just continues on to fifteen, seeing as he can't get disqualified. Seraph is reeling from the series of punches, seeming to barely know where he is at this point, and Kage takes advantage of it, setting Seraph up for a Superple-NO! Makuta grabs Kage from behind and pulls him down into a Flashback off the turnbuckles! The back of Kage's head is driven down into the mat, making him release the hold on Seraph, but Seraph teeters on the top turnbuckle, still dazed from the punches, then suddenly lurches to one side, falling to the outsi-NO! Dar grabs Seraph's hand and pulls him back into the ring! Seraph looks up at Dar after regaining his senses, and Dar gives him a quick nod before patting him on the shoulder and hading back across the ring to where Apolo is getting up again. Dar grabs Apolo just as he gets to a standing position and forces him back into the corner, hitting a few quick chops to stun him before setting Apolo up on the top turnbuckle, climbing up there as well and hitting a series of forearm shots to the side of the head before connecting with one huge European Uppercut, sending Apolo reeling. Dar then tucks Apolo's neck against his shoulder, reaching down and grabbing both Apolo's legs before lifting him up and falling backwards to hit a MUSCLE BUSTER!!! Apolo's neck is driven down into the mat at a sick angle, both he and Dar lying motionless for a bit, but Dar finally gets up, grabbing Apolo and slowly picking the big man up, setting him against the ropes and tying his arms up in them, Apolo too dazed to realize what's going on at first. Dar backs up to the middle of the ring, then runs forward, Apolo regaining his wits and pulling his arms out of the ropes, but it's too late, Dar hitting a Yakuza Kick and knocking him over the ropes to the outside! Apolo has been eliminated!

Shady gets up after delivering the Vertical Powerslam to Twilight, but walks right into a Superkick from Ravena! Shady stumbles back against the ropes, but doesn't go over them, instead slumping down into a sitting position and laying back against them. Ravena checks to make sure Twilight isn't hurt too badly, then moves over to Shady, hitting a quick boot right into his face before picking the former Small Fry champ up, setting him up so that his feet are on the top rope. Ravena tries to push him forward off the ropes and to the outside, but Shady instead tries to resist, pushing himself forward. Ravena finally decides to give up on eliminating him for now, instead quickly wrapping her arm around his head and falling backwards into a DDT off the top rope! Shady's head is spiked down into the mat from a high elevation, and the momentum causes him to flip over onto his back with a slump. Twilight now slowly starts to get up from the repeated attacks to her back from Shady, pressing a hand against her lower back and taking a moment to assess the situation in the ring. Twilight then turns toward Ravena, both of them looking down at Shady, then smirking, Ravena picking him up and waiting until he starts to regain his wits, smirking at him before jumping up and hitting a Hurracarana before moving over and locking in the RAVENOUS!!! It doesn't stop there, though, as Twilight moves over Shady's back, grabbing his legs and pulling them up to lock in the TOKYO TORTURE!!! Shady cries out in sheer agony as he's locked in both the spine-cracking Tokyo Torture, as well as the Cobra Clutch Ravenous, which is cutting off the supply of oxygen to his brain. Back across the ring, Makuta picks Kage up after delivering the Flashback off the top rope, locking his arms up in a Double Chickenwing before flexing backwards and hitting a Tiger Suplex! Kage's neck gets crushed down into the mat from the maneuver, but Makuta doesn't stop, picking Kage back up and hitting a German Suplex, this time releasing Kage. Kage seems dazed after the repeated attacks to his neck and head, Makuta backing up a bit, then dropping down to roll up into the Ensuing Sunset! Makuta slams his back down onto Kage, knocking the wind out of the homicidal one. Twist and Austin have stood up, Twist about to hit another move, but Austin pulls out of his arms and kicks Twist in the gut, underhooking both his arms before lifting him up into a Tiger Bomb! Austin stands up, walking backwards to get his bearings, only to see Seraph coming at him with a Clothesline, but Austin ducks under it and turns around, pulling Seraph down before tossing him up and out of the ring with the Unsung Generations! Seraph has been eliminated! Austin looks up at the clock after he does so, grinning as he sees the timer is once again counting down.

"5...4...3...2...1..."

"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor begins to play and the last wave of Blue Army troops make their way from the back onto the top of the entrance ramp. Leading the group is The Tiger, followed by Bryan Kutterman, Locasta, and The Reaper. "Introducing the last wave for the Blue Army, Bryan Kutterman, The Reaper, Locasta, and The Tiger!" The Durem crowd applauds some even though the wrestlers are led by The Tiger who isn't well liked in Durem. The Barton fans though seem to be cheering for only TT while just kind of ignoring the rest of the wrestlers. Either way though the chances for the Blue Army to once again take control of this match are very high now as The Tiger leads his pack down to the ring at a jogging pace before all four new additions to the Blue Army slide into the ring and stand up to survey the area quickly.

With the four new members on his team in the ring Austin goes over to issue them orders like he had done earlier to try and get his team back in the fight but before he can even make it over to them he is struck with a blow to the back from Steve who is still holding his back slightly from the Tiger Bomb Austin gave him. Steve follows up with another shot on Azure before grabbing him by the shoulder and turning him around, quickly placing him in a front facelock and snapping him down with a DDT to take the rookie out of the equation for a moment. Steve then goes up and gets in the face of TT who has some issues of his own with Twist still ranging back from their confrontation at MXC. The two stare each other down for a few moments before TT unleashes a chop across the chest of Twist. Steve steps backwards from the blow but then comes back at TT with a chop of his own before they breakdown and just begin laying into each other. While they are doing that Twilight has ceased the Tokyo Torture on Shady and goes over to confront Locasta. They get into it as Locasta goes to hit a punch but Twilight ducks her and kicks Locasta in the gut that knocks her back into the ropes. Locasta comes right back though using the ropes to bounce off of and hit Twilight with a hard lariat that takes Twilight down to the mat. Twilight doesn't stay down for long though and gets back up to her feet determined to keep on fighting Locasta so she can claim her shot at the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship. Kutterman and The Reaper are quickly partnered up with Kage, who is back up and ready for a fight, and Darson who has been freed up after eliminating Apolo. Kutterman and Kage know each other well from previous encounters and start to hit each other with hard rights and lefts as soon as they come together but Darson and The Reaper are cautious, not knowing much about the other. Darson decides to offer up his palms to see if The Reaper will go for a knucklelock and just as Darson had thought The Reaper agrees to it. The two big men brace themselves as they go into it and push hard at each other, using all the strength in their arms and shoulders as well as their body weight to gain an advantage.

At first neither man seems to be able to take the upper hand but before too long The Reaper takes the advantage because of how worn down Dar is. After Darson steps back once The Reaper knows that he currently has the strength advantage and continues to try and push Darson backwards. Suddenly though Dar pushes himself forward and slams his head into The Reaper's. The head butt stuns The Reaper for a moment and Darson can tell that it won't last for long so he pushes himself forward and hits another head butt on The Reaper that makes the masked man relinquish the hold. Darson shakes the cobwebs out of his own head after this and quickly capitalizes on the opportunity he has made for himself by grabbing The Reaper in a front waistlock and hitting him with a RELEASE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! The whole ring shakes momentarily as the two huge individuals land and every single one of the wrestlers pauses for just a moment to see what the hell just did that. The Durem crowd seems stunned at what just took place but the momentary lapse in concentration the wrestlers had ends quickly enough as they go back to what they were doing. Twist and TT have no worn each other out with forearms to the head and brutal chops to the chest but neither man wants to give anything up. Suddenly though Austin comes up from behind Twist and slams him in the back of the head with a Roaring Forearm that takes Twist down to the canvas. TT looks down at the knocked down Twist before up at Austin, seeming unsure that he could trust his teammate. Austin goes to grab Twist off the ground but sees TT looking at him and asks TT what his problem is. TT shakes his head and says nothing before helping Austin take Twist up off the ground. Azure sticks Twist into a front facelock when he is up and then tells TT to go up to the top rope of the near corner. TT once again looks to question Austin's motives at first but then decides that taking Twist out was important enough to follow orders for a moment. TT goes over to the corner and climbs up as Austin lifts Twist into the air. Suddenly though Twist strikes out with a knee that hits Azure in the face and makes him unable to get Steve fully up. Austin shakes his head out quickly and goes for it again but once more he is stopped by a knee to the head from Steve.

Now Austin is furious and after shaking the cobwebs out of his head once more he takes Twist and knees him in the gut hard. Twist grabs at his stomach and goes down to a knee, Azure having relinquished the front facelock to hit the knee. Steve doesn't stay down though and instead gets back up to his feet in a rush and nails Austin with a knee to the gut this time. He then grabs Austin by the shoulders and turns him around so his back is facing Steve. TT has just been able to get perched on the top of the corner to go for whatever Austin had planned as Steve puts Austin in a waistlock before turning so his back is facing the corner and throwing Austin into the corner with a Release German Suplex that not only makes Austin hit his head hard on the bottom turnbuckle but also makes TT crotch himself on the top rope. Meanwhile Kage and Kutterman have ceased their blows as Makuta comes back to face Kage and Kutterman seems displeased that he would try to get in the way of their fighting. Makuta tries to explain himself to Kutterman after hitting Kage with a running shoulder block from the side but is cut short by Kage standing back up and slamming Makuta in the face with a nasty right hand that lays the former TV Champion out. Kage then turns back to Kutterman and tells him that they're going to finish what they started and the two begin brawling again. Ravena has now found her way into the fight with Locasta helping Twilight out. They grab Locasta in a double front facelock before going to hoist her up for a double team Vertical Suplex but Shady comes up from behind Locasta and grabs her by the legs to pull her back down. Lifting Locasta as well as playing tug of war with Shady proves too difficult for Twilight and Ravena so they are forced to break the double front facelock. Shady then hits Ravena with a hard forearm that knocks her down as Locasta kicks Twilight in the gut and puts her into a standing head scissors. Locasta then tells Shady to grab Twilight's legs which he does and they lift Twilight into position for a Piledriver. Ravena gets back up though and tries to stop it but Shady quickly lets go and hits her with another hard forearm to the head that knocks her back down long enough for Locasta and Shady to complete the Spike Piledriver on Twilight!

After a long bit of rest for both men Darson and The Reaper have now made it to their feet and after that last big move by Darson Grays the exhaustion from this match has become pretty clear. He has sweat on his chest and forehead that gleams thanks to the lighting of the arena and also his chest is moving quicker now than it had been earlier. The Reaper on the other hand just seems slightly stunned from being manhandled like that by the AoE leader. With both men back on their feet they stare each other down, not to try and intimidate each other but instead trying to figure out what they have to do to take the other one down. Darson decides to go with the best plan for his worn out state and that is to keep it simple by striking The Reaper across the chest with a chop. The Reaper doesn't seem too affected by it and quickly gives Darson a chop back for his troubles. Darson shrugs off the chop well enough but this time when Darson goes to deliver one he places all of his weight behind it and shakes the foundation of the big man. The Reaper doesn't quite go down though but is too shaken up to give another chop back to Dar. Darson sees this and quickly rushes The Reaper with strikes to the head including slaps and forearms that take him down to his knees. As The Reaper goes down to his knees Darson grabs him by the head and begins to slam him in the head with knees. Some of the Barton crowd counts along with the knees The Reaper takes to the head as Darson just destroys him with the assault. After an absolutely brutal display and the crowd counting to 8 Darson stops and lets The Reaper fall over to the ground before falling over from exhaustion. Back over with Austin, TT, and Twist 'The White Phoenix' has managed to take the advantage by going up to the top rope and grabbing TT in a front facelock. The Durem fans near that corner are on their feet watching with anticipation for what is going to happen next. Austin looks up and sees Twist and TT on the top turnbuckle and decides that he would be best to get away from there as his head and neck recover so he rolls away from the corner holding his neck. Just as Austin does this Twist stands up on the top rope in the corner and hoists TT up in the air, stalling for a few moments, before hitting TT with an AVALANCHE BRAINBUSTER!

The crowd immediately starts chanting "holy shit" at the very dangerous move and seems to have a little more respect for both TT and Twist after that move. Suddenly though everyone's attention turns to the clock which has been counting down constantly. Most seem surprised that it is already almost time for a new set of competitors in the match because of all the action that has taken place so far but nonetheless they welcome it by counting down along with Victor Cross:

"5...4...3...2...1..."

"Rock Superstar" by Cyprus Hill comes over the Durem sound system and the crowd is mixed in applause and jeers as Shadow Starr, Jack Frost, and both members of Pay 4 Pain make their way out from the back onto the top of the entrance ramp. "Introducing the last wave for the Gray Army Victor Bidwell, Mr. Money, Jack Frost, and Shadow Starr!" Shadow doesn't waste any time in rallying the group he is leading and telling them to get down to the ring. He, Victor, and Mr. Money hustle down to the ring but the giant Jack Frost takes his own sweet time in making it down the entrance ramp, not feeling the need to rush into anything. Shadow, Victor, and Mr. Money get enter the ring via sliding under the bottom rope and in and as they stand up they are met by Shady, who has left Ravena to Locasta, and Makuta who is back up on his feet. P4P quickly go after Shady while Shadow and Makuta begin to fight hitting each other with punches and chops. Shady tries to fight off Victor and Mr. Money but isn't able to as the two overpower him. Out of seemingly nowhere though Austin grabs Mr. Money's shoulder from behind him and whirls him around. Azure then nails Mr. Money in the face with a Roaring Forearm like he did earlier to Twist. This knocks Mr. Money down and possibly out but as Victor goes to try and avenge his partner Shady grabs his arm and whips him at the opposite set of ropes. Shady follows right after Victor but as Victor hits the rope he places his arms on the outsides of them to keep himself from bouncing back off of them. This enables Bidwell to stick his foot up and hit Shady with a boot to the face to knock him down. Bidwell then goes to capitalize on this not knowing that his partner is already in trouble. Austin has Mr. Money back on his feet and puts him into a Half-Nelson. Azure then turns so his back is facing towards where Shadow and Makuta are still fighting and launches Mr. Money at Shadow with a Release Half-Nelson Suplex. Mr. Money slams into Shadow and both men go down but Azure is also hurt from that maneuver and is holding his neck in pain on the ground. Makuta doesn't care about this though and instead takes the opportunity given to him and picks Shadow up off the ground before picking him up in a front facelock and bringing him over to the nearest set of ropes.

Just as Makuta gets to the ropes though Shadow slips out and behind Makuta to save himself from being eliminated. Shadow then hits Makuta across the back with a clubbing shot before jumping up and hitting him with a dropkick to the back that drives him into the ropes. Back over with Locasta, Twilight, and Ravena Twilight and Ravena have managed to take the upper hand once more as they are both stomping away at Locasta who is on the ground. After a few more stomps from each the two decide it is time to get rid of Locasta and pick her up but as they go to dump her over the top rope Kutterman and Kage come up from behind them and for some reason have decided to work together. Kutterman tears Twilight away from Locasta and to the ground as Kage slams Ravena with a lariat to the back of her head and knocks her over the top rope and to the ground below. Ravena has been eliminated! Kutterman and Kage let Locasta crawl over to the nearest corner to rest as they turn their attention to Twilight who is running on empty by now in the match. They smirk at each other and advance on Twilight who crawls away from them. Kutterman and Kage continue though until Twilight's back is up against the ropes. Surprisingly though Twilight points in between them and says "you might want to look out behind you". At first Kage and Kutterman don't believe her but suddenly feel two huge hands on the backs of their necks. Among all the calamity and chaos in the ring Jack Frost entered the match and was barely noticed, a feat no one would have thought him capable of. Both Kutterman and Kage turn slightly pale as Twilight's former tag team partner has them but both look at each other quickly before lashing out with kicks that are meant to hit Frost down low. Frost figured they would try this though and brings his massive right leg up sideways to block both the kicks. Frost then shoves Kutterman aside before sticking Kage into an inverted facelock and lifting him in the air. Instead of hitting him with the Nuclear Winter though he takes Kage over to the ropes and throws him out of the ring making him hit the ground with a nasty thud. Raymond Kage has been eliminated!

Darson Grays has finally made it to his feet and sees that Frost is in the ring. He thinks about it for a moment but then turns to Frost and yells "hey how about we clean up in here?" Frost doesn't seem to know what to think at first as him and Darson weren't ever really on friendly terms but decides that cleaning up would be a good idea. He nods his head at Frost and the two big men in the match begin the process of cleaning up. Darson starts by going over to where Shady and Victor are still fighting and grabbing Shady before hitting him in the face and whipping him at Frost. The giant Frost sees this and once Shady gets to him he grabs him and hits him with the FROZEN VORTEX! Shady gets slammed down into the mat by Frost as Darson looks for some more victims. Dar sees Frost signal to him as he gets up by pointing to Kutterman. Darson smiles and waits for Frost to go over and drag Kutterman up off the ground. Kutterman tries to put up a fight but Frost hits him with a head butt that knocks Kutterman silly and then whips Kutterman at Darson who hits him with a SPEAR! Kutterman is driven down onto the canvas by Darson who holds his shoulder some while getting up. Once up Dar sees Frost surveying the ring for more targets and he points at someone behind Dar. Darson doesn't know that what Frost is trying to say though is there is someone behind Dar waiting so Darson turns around right into a kick to the stomach from The Reaper. Frost doesn't think twice about what to do next and goes over to help Darson knowing that it is the right thing to do since Dar is on his Army. The Reaper sets Darson into a standing head scissors thinking that he can do some serious damage if he can manage to get Darson up for a powerbomb or another power move but as The Reaper goes to pick Dar up he gets a Big Boot to the face from Jack Frost that knocks him off of Dar, back into the ropes, and almost over. The Reaper just barely hangs on to not let himself be eliminated but it is clear he is in pain as he goes down to the ground and clutches at his face. Frost almost seems to smirk for a moment but it quickly passes and he helps Darson back up to his feet.

Steve is finally back up after the Avalanche Brainbuster he delivered to TT and looks around the ring trying to spot where TT is and to also try and get a feel for what is going on. He finds TT rather quickly but out of the corner of his eye he sees Austin fighting with Mr. Money and about to eliminate him. Steve decides that TT is probably hurt enough that he can wait and begins to go over to where Azure is. Austin has Mr. Money back on his feet after delivering some hard blows to him but takes him back down with a Flatliner. Azure has been enjoying dominating Mr. Money since he was able to hit him with the Roaring Forearm earlier in the match but now he sees that Twist is coming back over to fight as he gets up. Luckily Shadow and Makuta brawling still gets in the way of Twist and gives Austin a moment to set up what he has been waiting to. Swiftly Austin grabs Mr. Money by the head and drags him up off the mat before placing him into a standing head scissors. Austin then lifts Money up onto his shoulders before going over to the ropes and powerbombing Mr. Money all the way down to the floor on the outside. Mr. Money has been eliminated! Azure lets a smirk come across his face as he momentarily forgets about Twist but that thought is soon remembered as he looks over and sees Twist and Shadow hitting Makuta with punches to knock him down. He then yells at Twist "to come fight him like a man" and Steve just looks over at him with a look that says "sure". Twist walks over to confront Azure away from the rest of the fighting in the ring and the two men stare each other down for a moment. Steve then lashes out with a forearm to the face of Azure but Austin sticks his arm up to block it and does. Austin then quickly grabs Twist around the head and neck and sticks him into a side headlock. Steve doesn't look worried though and after Austin has had it in for a few moments he pushes Azure off of him and at the ropes. Steve doesn't let Austin get to the ropes though and instead grabs his arm, stopping him in his tracks, before coming at Azure with his arm still held. Twist then sticks his head up under Austin's arm and uses his left arm to grab Azure under his left knee before lifting Austin up and spinning him around 180 degrees and hitting him with a BLUE THUNDER DRIVER! Steve drills Austin into the mat but quickly gets back up from the move and drags Azure up by the head before throwing Austin out of the ring over the top rope. Austin Azure has been eliminated!

Austin moves up to one knee, looking up at the ring at Twist with wide eyes, a blank, shocked expression on his face, unable to believe he had just been eliminated. Twist just smirks before turning to help out his team. Austin runs up onto the apron, calling Twist out and telling him to come over here and see if he can really beat him, but Twist ignores him, and a few members of the Jack Frost Security force step forward. Austin jumps off the apron before they have to restrain him, however, and instead hops the barrier into the crowd before turning to watch the rest of the match. The fans immediately swarm over him, Austin a favorite here in Durem, but Austin waves them away, too interested in the outcome of the match at this point. Twilight has made it back up to her feet at this point, seeming a bit reluctant to put herself back in the match after how long she's been in it, the fatigue really starting to set in now, but she gets over it, moving over to Shady, who is still laying on the mat after getting hit with the Frozen Vortex, Bidwell having gone to join Shadow against Makuta. Twilight lifts him up, knowing that Shady is just as tired as her, seeing as he's been in the match as long as she has, but suddenly turns to see TT standing up finally from the Avalanche Brainbuster Twist had given him. Twilight smirks and tosses Shady over to him, calling out for the two to "play nice". Shady stumbles forward a bit, having been thrown off balance slightly by Twilight shoving him over to TT, but regains his balance quickly, standing up to see TT right in front of him. The two stare each other down, the crowd turning their attention towards the two men, knowing their feud hadn't been settled yet, and the hatred still remained. The two men suddenly lock up into a grapple, neither one able to get an advantage for a few moments, one inch height difference in favor of Shady being the only difference between the two men in physical stats. Shady's fatigue from being in the match this long takes its toll, however, and TT pushes Shady back into corner, releasing the grapple only to hit two Knife-Edge Chops across Shady's chest, the sharp smacking sound heard all across the arena, even over the din of the crowd and the rest of the wrestling going on in the ring. TT suddenly comes in with an assault similar to the one Dar hit on The Reaper earlier, punches, kicks and forearms flying forward and knocking Shady absolutely senseless. TT finally ends the combo by jumping up and tossing Shady out of the corner with a Monkey Flip. The crowd's attention is turned away from the ring at this point, though, seeing that the clock is once again winding down. They know that the Gray Army's final warrior is coming out next, and the Durem fans are very anxious to see who the mystery wrestler is.

"5...4...3...2...1..."

A soft pinging noise is heard throughout the arena as the lights begin to flicker, every single person from Durem getting up onto their feet and staring in awe down at the entrance ramp, unable to believe what recognition tells them is happening. The lights go out completely after a few moments as a slow guitar riff starts, punctuated by huge bass drum beats. A woman's voice comes over the speakers, speaking in a low tone.

Sing to me my muses...
Lost in the hot cyclops anarchy...
Possession, invention
Blood, blood...

Spirits, spirits...

Spirits, spirits come, come...

The drum beats get faster, and the woman's voice gets louder, everybody in the ring now stopping for just a moment to stare at the entrance ramp.

Where will these visions lead?
How far dare I go?
Where will this song take me?...
INTO THE DEEP UNKNOWN!!!

A cheer is heard throughout the Durem Superdome that has never inhabited the place before, the walls nearly vibrating with the sheer power of it as silver sparks shower down from the DDD and a woman slowly walks out into them. The woman's black dreadlocks, dyed red at the front, cover her face, but she suddenly tosses her head back and throws her arms out to the side in a crucifix position as silver fireworks shoot off from the DDD, the crowd's dreams now affirmed as they see it is none other than "The Prodigy" herself. Victor Cross' introduction isn't even heard over the huge cheer, but he still tries as hard as he can to be heard. "Introducing next, the final warrior for the Gray Army...From Buffalo, New York, weighing in at one hundred fifty-eight pounds, she is 'The Prodigy'...RIONA LANGLY!!!"

Riona's outfit is much different from the way the fans remember it, rather than the black one with pink flames, Riona's hair is now done up in dredlocks, with a few locks at the front dyed dark red. She wears a pair of black cargos with one leg cut to be just above her knee, a boot covering up that leg, while the other leg of the cargos goes all the way down to her ankle. She wears a dark red tank top as well, with a thin net covering over it. Her hands have a normal pair of fingerless gloves on them. The fans in Durem practically crawl over the barriers in an attempt to give Riona a high five or pat her on the back, and while she seems to enjoy the attention, she doesn't make any effort to return the high fives. Riona slides into the ring, Dar turning to look at her and giving her a nod, showing that he was glad to have her on his team despite any differences they had before. Riona returns the nod, then looks around the ring, trying to see which battle needed her help the most. She then notices Locasta out by herself towards the corner of the ring. She moves over to the member of NeoGenesis quickly, Twilight turning to see Locasta as well, grinning as she moves in on her as well. Locasta gets into a ready stance, but already is focused on Riona, and thus isn't able to catch Twilight until she's already next to her, Twilight grabbing the somewhat larger woman around the waist and lifting her over in a Side Suplex, slamming Locasta's neck down into the mat with the maneuver. Twilight picks Locasta up, smirking as she hits a quick boot to the gut before backing off, Locasta moving up from her bent over position with a slightly confused look, only to be grabbed from behind by Riona, who pulls her down into a Reverse Facelock before slinging her up and twisting around to hit the BOMB DROPPER REMIX!!! The Durem crowd pops huge at this, Locasta's face going down into the mat at a sick angle. Riona picks Locasta up, setting her with her back against the ropes and hitting a quick forearm to the side of the head, then steps to the side as Twilight hits a Jumping Leg Lariat, sending Locasta over the ropes! But Locasta manages to grab onto them, pulling herself up onto the apron with her back facing the ring. This doesn't last long, though, as Riona hits a Dropkick to the back of Locasta's head, sending her off the apron and onto the ground below. Locasta has been eliminated!

Meanwhile, Shadow and Bidwell are currently taking it to Makuta, the two relatively fresh wrestlers beating down on one who's been here since the beginning of the match, Shadow obviously not caring about the former alliance he and The Heat had with Makuta and The Faction in this situation. Shadow and Bidwell continue to exchange punches with Makuta, the former Television Champion simply not able to get enough time to get his senses back and react. Finally, Shadow picks Makuta in a Spinebuster position, yelling something to Bidwell, who nods and grabs Makuta's head, Shadow falling forward in the Spinebuster as Bidwell falls down onto one knee, Makuta's lower back connecting with Bidwell's outstretched knee with the Spinebuster. Shadow picks Makuta up off of Bidwell's knee, setting him up in a Back Suplex position, but instead picks Makuta up and hits a Spinning-Out Powerbomb into the turnbuckle before turning out as if to go for the Shadow Buster, but instead turns Makuta so that he's facing outward, Bidwell grabbing his head and pulling him down into the LAST CHAPTER!!! Makuta's neck is smashed over Bidwell's ribs and Shadow just lets him fall limply to the mat, he and Bidwell getting up and grabbing Makuta, Shadow telling Bidwell it's time to eliminate him. He and Bidwell whip Makuta across the ring, bending down a bit early to hit the Back Body Drop that will throw Makuta to the outside, but Makuta suddenly grabs both of their heads in Front Facelocks as he comes back, running up the ropes and falling backwards in a two-man version of Bidwell's own finisher, the V-BOMB!!! Makuta, Shadow and Bidwell lay motionless after this. Now that Frost has helped Dar up, Dar takes a few moments to assess the situation in the ring. Seeing that his team has the apparent advantage at the moment, he directs Frost to take care of Reaper while he goes after Kutterman. Frost, surprisingly, gives a nod, apparently thinking that that plan was a good one. Dar walks over to Kutterman, who is just now starting to get up after getting hit with the Spear earlier, but Dar stops that quickly, slipping his leg behind Kutterman's and tripping him with an STO! Kutterman cringes as the back of his head is driven down into the mat from the move, Dar moving to roll him over onto his stomach, grabbing Kutterman's arm and twisting it up into a Hammerlock before pulling back so that Kutterman is on his knees, reaching his free hand out to pull back on Kutterman's head in a Dragon Sleeper, then hooks both of Kutterman's legs before falling backwards onto his back and wrenching Kage up into the air, locking in the ARCHETYPE BREAKER!!! Kutterman cries out as his back, neck and shoulder are all hyperextended from the maneuver, Dar keeping an eye out for any Blue Army members who intend to disrupt the hold.

Frost walks over to Reaper, who has managed to shake off the effects of the Big Boot he received from Frost earlier. Reaper stands up to see Frost standing in front of him, the two men staring each other down for a few moments, a slight height difference of only two inches between Reaper and Frost, though Frost still has a huge weight advantage, almost one hundred pounds. Frost holds his arms out for a Knucklelock, but Reaper knows better than that, instead respdonding with a sudden right hand to Frost, but Frost just comes back with a huge punch of his own, knocking Reaper back a bit from the force of the blow. Reaper manages to get another punch out before Frost can get a chain going, however, the two men trading punches a few more times before Frost's sheer size allows him to get a chain of attacks going, finally grabbing Reaper around the neck and pushing him to the point that he's bent over backwards, placing his leg behind Reaper's and suddenly sweeping it out from under him, pulling back on Reaper's head as he falls backwards and absolutely spikes Reaper's head into the mat with a huge DDT, the crowd popping huge as they recognize the move from Frost's own employer, Brian Blade himself, who refers to it as the DIRECTOR'S CUT!!! Frost picks Reaper up, setting him against the ropes and hitting two quick chops before Clotheslining Reaper over the ropes! Reaper suddenly stops himself, however, grabbing the ropes and using their elasticity to bounce backwards and slam right into Frost with a Flying Shoulderblock, knocking both men down into the ring. Reaper reaches down and wraps his hand around Frost's throat, lifting him up high into the air with only one hand in an amazing feet of strength, then drives him back down into the mat with a Chokeslam to Hell! Frost bounces off the canvas from the maneuver and lays motionless, Reaper looking over to see Kutterman still locked in the Archetype Breaker, deciding to go help his teammate before continuing to attack Frost. Blue Army's team slowly seems to be falling apart at this point, with TT and Shady attacking each other, Makuta barely able to stand after the beating he's received from Bidwell and Shadow, and Kutterman currently locked in the Archetype Breaker. Twilight, Riona and Twist see this, but then look to see Reaper has taken out Frost at the moment. The three decide they're definitely able to take Reaper three-on-one, and quickly run forward. Reaper catches sight of them, glancing around for a moment, then suddenly runs forward himself, taking out Twist and Riona with a Double Clothesline while Twilight simply bounces off Reaper in her attempt of a Shoulderblock. Reaper grins, then hits a sudden boot to the gut, setting Twilight up in a Standing Head Scissors before picking her up onto his shoulders and lifting her up again, but rather than go for a Last Ride Powerbomb, he tosses her backwards over the ropes in an Alley-Oop! Twilight has been eliminated! The Small Fry champ lands right on her face, lying motionless on the outside.

Makuta, Shadow and Bidwell had managed to get up at this point, but Makuta knows he's still outnumbered, quickly hitting a surprise Superkick to Bidwell, knocking him down to the mat. Shadow manages to hit a clubbing blow to the back of Makuta's head, but Makuta ignores the pain, striking out with a sudden Mule Kick into Shadow's gut before suddenly grabbing the ropes and swinging through them to hit a 369 INTO SHADOW'S RIBS!!! Shadow goes flying off to the side, clutching his ribs and crying out, Makuta standing on the apron and waiting for Bidwell to get up, the King of Pain turning towards Makuta, only to see the former TV Champ jump up onto the ropes and fly off to hit a Hurricarana, tossing Bidwell over him and over the top rope to the outside! Victor Bidwell has been eliminated! The crowd seems rather shocked at this, having expected to see Makuta eliminated soon with the double team and all, but Makuta appears to have evened the odds at this point. Makuta stands up about the same time Shadow does, Shadow looking around and only now realizing that Bidwell had been eliminated, narrowing his eyes at Makuta. Makuta grins, rolling his neck and making a "bring it on" gesture. Shadow smirks, then runs forward, the two beginning to trade blows again. At this point, Dar has tired of putting the Archetype Breaker on Kutterman, unable to eliminate him via submission, and the stress of keeping the hold locked in is tiring him out anyway. Dar releases Kutterman, then stands up, waiting for Kutterman to do so as well. Kutterman cringes and clutches his shoulder for a few moments, but finally gets up, glaring at Dar and suddenly throwing a punch, but Dar twists Kutterman's arm around into an Armbar, but then grabs Kutterman's leg and lifts him up onto his shoulders in a Sideways Fireman's Carry, smirking before falling down into a sitting position and hitting the Downgrade! Kutterman rolls off Dar's back, his spine having been jerked horribly out of alignment with that move, arching his back on the ground and trying to ignore the pain. Dar turns and lifts Kutterman up, taking a deep breath in before lifting Kutterman up in the Military Press position, carrying him over to the ropes, but Kutterman suddenly slides out of Dar's grip to land on his feet, Dar turning around only to receive a boot to the gut from Kutterman, who then pulls him forward and drills his head into the mat with the FINAL DESTINATION!!! Dar and Kutterman lay motionless on the mat at this point.

Frost has gotten up at this point, looking over to see Reaper fending off strikes from Twist and Riona, blocking the kicks and chops with his large forearms. Frost shakes off the effects of the Chokeslam from Hell, then walks over quickly calling for Twist and Riona to go take care of TT and Shady while he takes Reaper. They both nod, running off to take out the two members of the Blue Army. Frost and Reaper stare each other down again, then lock up into a grapple, each one fighting for control. Reaper suddenly moves behind Frost, a lot slower than someone like Twist or Austin, but still able to move quickly enough to avoid Frost, wrapping his arms around Frost's waist from behind and turning to face the turnbuckles, ducking an elbow from Frost before launching him back in a Release German Suplex right into the turnbuckles! The crowd gasps at this, the back of Frost's head as well as his spine crashing into the thinly-covered metal turnbuckles, making him fall to a sitting position in the corner. Reaper walks over and shoves his boot right into Frost's throat, putting his other foot on the rope bottom rope and grabbing the top ropes for leverage, shoving his foot into Frost's neck and choking him. Frost flails his arms out in an attempt to push Reaper off of him, but Reaper keeps back far enough to prevent that. Reaper finally pulls his foot away, only to jump backwards off the rope and swing himself forward into a huge Knee Strike right into Frost's face, knocking the monster senseless. Riona and Twist have moved over to where TT is beating up on Shady in the corner, but Twist interrupts this by grabbing TT in a Half Nelson hold, pulling his other arm back in a Chickenwing before flexing backwards to hit his Half-Nelson Half-Tiger Suplex! TT's neck gets slammed down into the mat with this maneuver, and Riona moves in to take what's left of Shady, picking him up with a bit of trouble, seeing as, with all the fatigue from this match as well as the punishment TT has layed on him, he's practically dead weight at this point. Riona hits two quick chops across his chest, then picks Shady up, setting him up on the top turnbuckle, facing out towards the crowd. Riona climbs onto the apron, hitting a quick forearm to the side of Shady's head to make sure he's stunned, then climbs up onto the top rope, placing Shady in a Standing Head Scissors before flipping over him and hitting a Rolling Powerbomb, driving Shady down into the mat! Twist takes advantage of TT's daze after getting hit with the Half-Nelson Half-Tiger Suplex, picking him up and and setting his head against his shoulder, pointing towards the ropes before running up then and turning in the air to pull TT down into the TWISTER!!! TT bounces off Twist's shoulder, lying motionless next to him, but Twist turns to face the entrance ramp, seeing the clock has wound down for the final time.

"5...4...3...2...1..."

The arena suddenly fell dark, only a haunting gong sounded, but somehow different to the gong the the people were expecting, then over each wrestler, a spotlight appeared, grey for those on the grey side and blue for those on the blue side, a female voice calling through the arena.

Thou shalt not suffer their demons to live!
Everyone that would combat with the Beast shall certaintly be put to rest!
He that prayeth or sacrificeth to any God save to Lucifer only, shall be delivered to destruction.

The lights came back on, but faded again, save the spotlights. When there were signs off illumination, it was only because the arena had been filled with an eerie purple lighting, then the runway re-illuminated, an eerie blue colour, but standing centre of the ramp was Hika Lai, Voorhees manager. In her hand, she gripped a sword, its handle forged in the shape of the Voorhees Symbol. The blade seemed to have a liquid, possibly blood, oozing down it, and to the ramp, leaving a puddle with its drops. It was noticeable that she had a headset on, its mic just below her lips. She smirked, surveying the arena. A white spotlight fell on her.

Hika Lai: In this, the time of war,
Two sides fight to the death,
They battle, and struggle,
Under the colours Blue and Grey.
But what they do not realise is that there is one who will rise up from the grey and the blue, striking down with the colours black like the ash of his fallen victims!
And red, the colour of the fires that burned them!
A dark knight of death and destruction, the embodiment of a Demon...
Tonight all of you in that ring shall bear witness to this Demon's powers!

She laughs as the arena fills with a white fog, it comes down the ramp, circling the ring, the arena now becoming chilling cold, as this happens, 6 Druids, robed in white come from backstage, each carrying a torch, each torch a different colour. The Druids stand that three are to each side of Hika. The two closest to the ring have a grey flame and a blue flamed torch. The middle two have an orange torch and a red flamed torch, and the back two have a black flamed and white flamed torch. Hika continues as if nothing had happened.

I sense the chills running through your fragile body, BTWF!
I sense your fear as the Ectoplasm surrounds the ring!
For this has been nothing but playtime!
But playtime is over!

It is now time for WAR!!!

It is during this time of war that we pledge with you Lucifer, It is during this time that we pledge to you,
It is during this time that we ask you to send your mightiest warrior to battle!!!
To rise from the ashes of Gehenna and combat both Blue and Grey.
Allow him, my King to cast your will among these mortal men!
Allow him to bring dominance, malice, chaos, destruction and death to this veil!

Wrestlers and mortals of the BTWF!
You are nothing more than mere Unholy Sacrifices!
Spiritual support for the Beast, the demon and the Lord of Darkness!

Gods of the Underworld, I beseech you,
After this sacrifice, give us the Darkness, Gods!
Give us the power to control the Demon of your embodiment.
The Demon of Anger, Hatred, Treason and all Evil!

Gods of The Underworld!!!
Accept this glorious sacrifice, the roster of the BTWF, and open the door of Gehenna,
Open the doors to us!!!

Lord of the Underworld!
Open the eternal door that your Son and Dark King will cometh through.
For he is the King of Darkness and the King of Kings!

We shall adorn him!
We shall adorn him!

Lord Lucifer, your Son is ruler over all things.
Your Son is ruler over all animals, creatures and this veil of existence!!!
Give him to us, allow us to use his might!!!

We adorn him completely, and accept his great coming!
Give him to us!!!

Druids and Hika Lai:
[chanting methodically]
Voorhees!!! Voorhees!!! Lord of Darkness, Voorhees!!!
Voorhees!!! Voorhees!!! Lord of Darkness, Voorhees!!!
[faster]
Voorhees!!! Voorhees!!! Lord of Darkness, Voorhees!!!
Voorhees!!! Voorhees!!! Lord of Darkness, Voorhees!!!
Voorhees!!! Voorhees!!! Lord of Darkness, Voorhees!!!
Voorhees!!! Voorhees!!! Lord of Darkness, Voorhees!!!

Hika Lai:
[while the Druids Chant]
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Boys and Girls!
Creatures of The Night and Darkness!

[pause]

DYIN' TIME'S HERE!!!

Suddenly the chanting stops, the sounds of crashing thunder grow bigger, Hika Lai raising her sword into the air, a bolt of lightning striking it, causing a massive smokescreen at the Tron runway. When the smoke had cleared, Hika Lai had vanished, standing in her place, was Anthony "Terror Ryzing" Voorhees, making his way to the ring, the first verse of "Down With The Sickness" calling through the arena. Voorhees walks down to the ring, looking up at the competitors still in it, all of them giving him slightly angered glares, Voorhees obviously not a favorite with anyone in the ring. "And finally, introducing the Blue Army's final warrior, weighing in at three hundred ten pounds...ANTHONY "TERROR RYZING" VOORHEES!!!" Voorhees climbs up the steel steps and into the ring, looking over the wrestlers as "Down With The Sickness" fades out.

Reaper moves away from Frost in the corner, walking over to stand beside his partner, Voorhees giving him a nod. The two survey the ring, seeming to be deciding on who will be their first victim. The two glance over at where Riona and Twist are attacking TT and Shady, though the two have stopped for a moment to stare down Reaper and Voorhees. Voorhees tells Reaper to do what he wishes, his eyes now on Makuta at the other side of the ring. Reaper nods, knowing his partner's hatred, then turns to smirk menacingly at Twist, who just responds with a glare. Voorhees runs across the ring, moving rather quickly for how large he is, fire in his eyes. Makuta sees this, quickly pushing Shadow to the side and running to meet Voorhees, only to be pulled up into a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker from Voorhees. Voorhees looks down at Makuta, seeming like he wants to do more damage to him, then remembers the title shot on the line. Voorhees scowls for a moment as he makes his decision, then grins, walking over to the ropes and lifting Makuta high up in the air before dropping him over the ropes right onto his head, eliminating his own teammate! Makuta has been eliminated! Shadow watches this with a very confused look, knowing that Voorhees hates Makuta, but unable to understand why he would eliminate his own teammate. Kutterman has gotten up after delivering the Final Destination to Dar, who is still shaking off the effects. Kutterman turns to walk over to Voorhees, wanting to formulate a plan with him, but as he begins to speak with Voorhees, Voorhees suddenly turns and hits a Lariat, knocking Kutterman over the ropes! Kutterman just barely manages to hang onto the ropes, pulling himself up onto the apron and staring at Voorhees, who just grins before going to knock Kutterman all the way off. Kutterman quickly slams his shoulder forward into Voorhees' gut, then moves to the side and slips through the ropes, calling out to the blue team members that Voorhees is out for himself only. Everyone turns to face Voorhees, who just raises his arms, palms facing upwards, then curls his fingers inward, motioning for everyone to come attack him with a dark grin on his face. Everyone, Gray Army and Blue Army combined, just turns to look towards each other for a few moments, and a unanimous nod comes from all of them. Reaper, however, just grins, apparently knowing something the rest of them didn't. Twist, Riona and Kutterman turn to face Voorhees, looking ready to attack, but a voice suddenly calls out from across the ring. Everyone looks over to see Dar, starting to get up from the Final Destination. Dar yells for them to look out for Reaper as well.

TT and Shady have started to get up at this point, though Shady is practically gone at this point, all the beatings and the overall fatigue of this match really having gotten to him. Frost is now up as well, seeming to have shaken off the hits from Reaper he'd taken over. Dar looks over the ring, and sees that eight people, including himself, seeming to be allied against Voorhees and Reaper. Dar calls TT, Shadow and Riona over to help him take Voorhees, while directing Twist to take Shady, Kutterman and Frost to go against Reaper. Twist nods, gathering those people to him, Voorhees and Reaper seeming perfectly content to let them make their plans, apparently very confident they'll still win. Dar's team quickly rushes Voorhees, while Twist's group starts to circle around Reaper. Voorhees watches as the four people run toward him, moving to the side and picking up TT as he goes for a Flying Cross-Body, spinning him out and catching Shadow in the jaw with TT's feet before slamming him down with a Gunn Stinger. Riona and Dar take this time to begin to pound on Voorhees with a series of punches and kicks to the crouched Lord of Darkness, but Voorhees just reaches over and grabs Riona, picking her up in a Fireman's Carry and throwing her into Dar. Voorhees then picks up TT, smashing him into the nearby turnbuckles by his back before setting him on the top turnbuckle, turning to see Shadow running towards him. Voorhees picks up Shadow as he runs forward, tossing him up right into TT, the two men toppling on the top rope for a few moments before they manage to grab the ropes and land on the aprons. Riona and Dar get up, seeming to assess the situation for a moment, before Dar turns to Riona and tells her a plan. Riona nods, and Dar suddenly runs forward, holding his arm up to go for a Lariat, suddenly moves to the side a bit and goes right past Voorhees bouncing off the ropes and coming back to catch Voorhees with a Lariat for real as he turns around, Riona suddenly taking out his legs from behind with a Chop Block! Voorhees falls onto his back, Dar quickly stomping his foot down onto Voorhees' face, Riona grabbing his legs and trying to hold them, Dar calling for TT to get on the top turnbuckle. TT raises an eyebrow, then realizes what Dar wants, quickly getting up on the top turnbuckle and steadying himself, Riona and Dar doing everything they can to keep Voorhees still, before TT flies off and hits the TIGER POU-NO!!! VOORHEES BRINGS A KNEE UP!

TT lands right on the knee, bouncing off the limb and clutching his stomach, Riona cursing at having been unable to hold that leg. Voorhees reaches up and grabs Dar's leg, pulling it out from under him suddenly and sending Dar toppling down onto his back. Voorhees then swings his free leg up and catches Riona in the side of the head with it, standing up, only to get taken out from behind with a Bulldog from Shadow! Shadow seems a bit proud at having been able to take Voorhees down, but the King of Darkness doesn't stay down long. Back across the ring, Twist has his hands full with Reaper, sending Frost to start a striking assault. Frost comes in with a right hand, but Reaper catches it, slamming his free arm up into Frost's chin with a European Uppercut. Reaper quickly turns and catches Kutterman with a Big Boot as he tries to attack him from behind, grabbing Shady's head as he jumps up on his back and attempts to take him down with a Tazzmission, flipping him over in a Snapmare right onto Twist. Reaper looks across the ring at Voorhees, then grabs Shady, carrying him away from the group over towards Voorhees, who has gotten up and taken down Shadow as he turned around with a huge Knife-Edge Chop. Reaper lays Shady down in front of Voorhees as if laying a sacrifice on the altar, Voorhees laughing darkly before grabbing Shady by the throat, carrying him over to the ropes and tossing him over them with a Chokeslam while Reaper blocks Dar from trying to stop him! Shady has been eliminated! The formation of Dar's group and Twist's group starts to crumble at this point, the seven wrestlers now combining in one group to take on Voorhees and Reaper. A huge brawl suddenly starts, the group pushing Voorhees and Reaper back towards the ropes, but the two huge wrestlers manage to push all of them back, Voorhees taking down his attackers with hard right hands while Reaper hits Big Boots and harsh Knife-Edge Chops. Finally, Voorhees gets a hold of TT, picking him up like a Chokeslam as well and quickly turning to toss him over the ropes and down onto Shady! The Tiger has been eliminated! The crowd is watching this with awe, unable to believe the duo is doing so well against all these wrestlers.

Finally, Dar and Frost begin to get a chain of attacks going on Reaper, the two big wrestlers hitting a series of hard strikes including punches, knees and forearms, finally taking Reaper down to his knees. Dar grabs Reaper by the head, jumping up in the air before pulling his head down as he landed on one knee, slamming Reaper's face down into it as he landed. Voorhees still keeps fending off blows from Kutterman, Twist, Riona and Shadow, finally taking Twist and Shadow down with a pair of Lariats, then turns and hits a sudden Roaring Elbow to Riona, taking her down to the mat. Kutterman quickly moves forward and presses his thumb right into Voorhees' neck in an attempt to take him down with an Ice Pick, but Voorhees' hand snaps up to grab Kutterman's arm, slowly wrenching it away from his neck. Kutterman shoots his other arm up to try it with that hand, but Voorhees does the same thing. Finally, Voorhees brings his head forward in a huge Headbutt, slamming his forehead into Kutterman's. Voorhees grins, doing this twice more, knocking Kutterman senseless before letting go of one arm and tossing him up over the ropes with an Arm Drag! Kutterman goes to grab for the ropes, but his fingers slip and he falls to the outside. Bryan Kutterman has been eliminated! Dar and Shadow suddenly grab Voorhees from behind as he turns to smirk to Kutterman on the floor, whipping him across the ring and catching him as he comes back with a Double Back Body Drop, throwing Voorhees high up in the air before he crashes down into the mat on his back. Dar calls for his remaining teammates to take up positions in the corner, Twist, Riona, and Shadow nodding and heading to seperate corners. Reaper has finally gotten up from the strikes at this point, walking over to Voorhees, who has also gotten up. The two duos turn to face each other, the crowd suddenly getting up on their feet, realizing that they were about to see a true battle between four of the biggest men in the BTWF. After a couple of seconds of staring each other down, Dar suddenly turns and hits a Knife-Edge Chop on Frost. The chop doesn't look like it had much power to it, just enough to sting, but Frost turns to Dar, raising an eyebrow, but a wave of recognition comes to him as he sees Dar grin, firing back with a weak chop of his own. The two exchange chops twice more, firing each other up in a rather unorthodox way, then suddenly turn toward Voorhees and Reaper, taking both men down with sudden Lariats, Voorhees and Reaper having been confused about what the two were doing, the crowd cheering this.

Voorhees and Reaper get up, only to receive another pair of Lariats from Frost and Dar, Dar and Frost throwing their hands up repeatedly, taunting Voorhees and Reaper to get up again. The two get up after a moment, then suddenly begin to trade strikes with Frost and Dar, punches, chops, kicks, forearms, elbows and knees flying repeatedly in a series of hard-hitting attacks. Finally, the two teams back off, all of them breathing heavily, the crowd gasping as they saw Dar was busted open from a particularly good shot Reaper had gotten in. Voorhees, Frost and Reaper all had puffy eyes at this point, those obviously going to turn black later. The two teams lock up into grapples, each one fighting for control. Reaper manages to win the grapple with Dar, slamming him down in a Standing Head Scissors, slamming his forearm down into Dar's back repeatedly to keep him stunned, then flips him up onto his shoulders before dropping him down in a Sit-Out Powerbomb! A thunderous crash is heard as Dar hits the mat, the ring shaking from the sheer force of the maneuver, the crowd watching in awe, as ar the rest of Dar's team, though they continue to stay out of it, knowing Dar and Frost wanted to try and take out Voorhees and Reaper themselves. Frost wins the grapple with Voorhees, however, lifting him up onto his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry and wrenching down on his neck and thigh in a quick Argentine Back Breaker, then drops Voorhees down in a Gutbuster. Frost then whips Voorhees over to the ropes, catching him with a Shoulderblock as he comes back. Frost then picks up Voorhees and sets him up on his shoulders in a Torture Rack position, walking over to the ropes, the crowd watching intently as Frost starts to push up Voorhees' legs, as if to hit a DEEP FREEZE TO THE OUTSI-NOOOO! VOORHEES SLIDES OFF FROST'S SHOULDERS AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! VOORHEES HOOKS FROST'S ARMS FROM BEHIND, LIFTING HIM UP AND TOSSING HIM OUT OF THE RING WITH A CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB!!!

Frost lands right on his neck from the sick Powerbomb, and lays motionless outside the ring, Voorhees dropping to his knees and taking a breather, lifting up Voorhees for the Crucifix Powerbomb having taken a huge amount of strength. Meanwhile, Reaper picks up Dar, carrying him over to the ropes, Gray Team looking about ready to get up and help him, but Dar suddenly slips down from Reaper's grasp, hitting a swift kick to the gut before lifting him up in a Vertical Suplex position. Suddenly, Twist stands up and jumps off the ropes, flying off at an angle and hitting a Springboard Dropkick to Reaper's abdomen, knocking him out over the ropes to the outside! Reaper has been eliminated! Reaper lands on his back, staring up at the ceiling of the arena, seemingly unable to believe he had just been eliminated. The Gray Army decides it's time to end this, quickly running over to Voorhees, who turns around only to have Riona and Shadow hit a huge exchange of strikes, the chance of actually eliminating Voorhees firing them up. Dar stands up, though a bit weakly, the effects of the Sit-Out Powerbomb, as well as the sheer fatigue from this match, lingering. Dar asks Twist to go help out the team, and Twist quickly nods, running over and taking quick command, hitting a series of chops and forearms before telling Riona and Shadow to grab Voorhees' legs, both of them doing so, trying to lift Voorhees up and toss him over the ropes, Twist attempting to hold Voorhees' arms, but the big man seems about to power out of it. Suddenly, a voice calls out from across the ring, the crowd turning their attention to Dar, who suddenly bounces off the ropes and runs towards Voorhees. "HEY VOORHEES! REST IN PEACE!" DAR HITS A YAKUZA KICK, THE FORCE ENOUGH TO HAVE GRAY TEAM TO FLIP VOORHEES OVER THE ROPES TO THE OUTSIDE! ANTHONY VOORHEES IS ELIMINATED! The crowd erupts into a cheer as Voorhees lays on the outside on his stomach, unable to even move out of crushing disappointment. Dar looks at the three people left in the ring, realizing that all of them are members of the Gray Army. The final four warriors look around at each other, Dar suddenly turning away to walk over to the nearest corner. The three others see what Dar does, and do the same, walking over to seperate corners, all taking a bit of time to rest and regain themselves before the final part of the match begins. "Ladies and Gentlemen, every member of the Blue Army has been eliminated! Our final four are Darson Grays, Shadow Starr, Steve Twist and Riona Langly! The same elimination rules apply! You must go over the top rope and both feet must touch the floor!" The four competitors slowly look around the ring at each other, their expressions showing fatigue, but also determination, the lure of the gold very strong for all four. The home stretch is here. And is now time for everyone to prove their worthiness of the gold.

Without any hesitation Shadow and Darson decide to hook up as Twist and Riona come to the decision to after them. The exhaustion is definitely getting to Dar at this point as his chest is constantly heaving and it seems like a miracle he is still able to stand up through all of this let along wrestle. Shadow on the other hand doesn't seem in horrible shape but still tired enough for it to be noticeable. Neither man wants to rush into anything with the other involved, knowing from past encounters what each other are capable of. Slowly they come together in a classic collar and elbow tie-up that they appear to be evenly matched in. Shadow can tell that Darson isn't fully up to speed and tries to take advantage of that by breaking the hold and putting the big man into a headlock. Shadow locks in the headlock tightly but his mistake becomes apparent quickly as Darson uses his strength to remove himself from Shadow's headlock and put Shadow into a hammerlock. With Shadow's right arm held in the hammerlock Darson goes to place Shadow in a Dragon Sleeper and some of the crowd cheers as they think he might be going for the Archetype Breaker again. Shadow stops this quickly though by hitting Dar in the side of the head with an elbow while Dar was focused on putting in the Dragon Sleeper. Darson doesn't relinquish the hammerlock though so Shadow hits him once more with an elbow to make Dar finally let go of the hold. Darson grabs his head as Shadow walks slightly away from Dar before turning around to face him once more. Shadow lets Darson regain his composure before he smiles at Darson. Dar returns the smile as they seem to have some mutual respect for each other. After both are ready they once again go into a collar and elbow tie-up but this time Darson becomes the aggressor as he pushes Shadow back into the ropes. With his back on the ropes Shadow seems to be at a loss for what to do but is determined to get his long overdo shot at the BTWF World Title. This determination along with some leverage allows him to turn Darson around and put his back onto the ropes. Darson doesn't have the same kind of desperation Shadow has but he does have more pure strength and size than Shadow that allows him to shove Shadow off of him and down to the mat.

While Darson and Shadow go at it Twist and Riona begin circling around the other half of the ring. The crowd in the Durem Superdome begins conflicting "let's go Twist" and "let's go Riona" chants as they are split by the people who have come from Barton chanting for Twist and the Durem natives chanting for Riona. The chants die down though as the two go into a collar and elbow tie-up. Riona immediately senses that Twist has plenty of strength though and slips out of the hold before hitting Twist with a quick drop toe-hold. Twist goes down to the mat face first and Riona quickly follows up by rolling over to where Twist's head landed and trying to stick him in a crossface. She doesn't hook Twist's arm with it but manages to get the hold in for a moment. Steve quickly slips out of it though and puts Riona into a hammerlock before they both begin to stand up off the mat. Once both are up their feet Riona tries to hit Twist in the head with an elbow to make him break the hold but Steve ducks it, letting go of the hold anyway as he does. The force of the elbow serves to turn Riona around to face Steve because of him letting go of the hold and he quickly places her in a front waistlock before hitting her with a Belly to Belly Suplex. As the move lands some of the crowd jeers but a good part of the crowd cheers if not only for the fast paced action Twist and Riona are busting out after having went through a lot in this match. Both competitors rest on the ground for a moment, Twist just lying there trying to regain his breath as Riona holds her back. Slowly though Steve makes it up to his feet and Riona follows shortly after. Once they are both back up there stare each other down, trying to figure out a strategy for wrestling the other. Steve decides to go with a usual way to test this and offers up a knucklelock to Riona which she accepts. Instead of the usual testing of each others strength Riona lashes out with a kick to the leg of Steve which he is forced to take. This strategy seems like a good idea until Steve fires back with a stiff kick of his own to Riona's left leg that makes her almost fall to a knee. Riona doesn't give up though and comes back with a kick of her own on Steve which makes the former World Champion almost fall of his feet because the kick is delivered to his still recovering right leg. Neither will back down though as they continue to trade kicks back and forth.

After being shoved down to the mat by Darson Shadow decides that he needs a different strategy against the bigger man. Slowly he rises to his feet before running at Darson and trying to hit the big man with a clothesline to knock him back into the ropes. Shadow connects with the clothesline on Dar but it barely affects Darson who shrugs it off. Shadow doesn't stop though and runs back into the opposite set of ropes before coming at Darson with another hard clothesline. This time Darson is knocked backwards into the ropes but it doesn't take him long to stand back up. Darson is holding at his neck though after the second clothesline and Shadow thinks about what to do to go for the kill. Thinking quickly he slams Darson in the abdomen with a kick and hits him with a DDT to take him down to the ground. Speedily Shadow gets back up off the ground and goes over by the ropes before bending down like he will go for a Spear. Shadow waits patiently for Dar to get off the ground and slowly the exhausted Darson begins to get up. Once Dar is almost to his feet Shadow charges at him and goes to hit the SHADO-NO! As Shadow goes to hit the cutter portion of the move on Dar Darson halts him with a knee to the back before placing him in an inverted facelock. Darson then lifts Shadow up into the air before backing towards the ropes and hitting A MODIFIED ARCHETYPE CUTTER MARK V ON SHADOW, GUILLOTINING SHADOW ON THE TOP ROPE AND MAKING HIM FALL TO THE OUTSIDE! Shadow has been eliminated!

Twist and Riona have finally exhausted their kicks and Twist is favoring his right leg slightly but they are still intertwined in the knucklelock. Steve tries to take the advantage in this situation by kicking Riona's left arm to break the hold between his right and her left hand. He then takes Riona's right arm with his right arm and brings it up over her shoulder. He keeps his left hand locked with her right hand while doing this and moves to Riona's right side as well. Riona doesn't give Steve a chance to finish what he is doing though as she kicks him in the right leg once again, making him break his hold on her arm and hold at his leg. Riona backs off from Steve while he attends to his leg and holds her right arm for a moment before shaking it out. Twist's leg really seems to be bothering as he keeps holding it and this gives Riona the idea of charging at him which she does. Steve quickly gets off of his leg and kicks her in the gut as she makes it to him, showing Riona that she fell for his ploy. Steve then sets Riona into a standing head scissors before lifting her up onto his shoulders. He doesn't powerbomb her though but instead lets her upper half hang down as he goes for the FULL FURY! NO! Riona pulls herself back up as Steve goes to step over her arms. She then slams Twist in the face with a hard forearm that makes her drop him before she hits Steve with a kick to the abdomen like he did to her. Riona follows up by putting Steve in a standing head scissors before lifting him up and going for the DEVOLUTION! NO! Steve flips over Riona with a sunset flip and then stands back up once again going for the FULL FURY! NO!! Riona pulls herself back up AGAIN and then drops off of Twist before kicking him in the gut and placing him in a front facelock to go for a DDT. Steve blocks it though and slips out of Riona's grip before spinning her around so Riona's back is facing towards him. He then hooks one of her legs with his left arm as he hooks her head and neck with his right before bringing her up onto his shoulders so she is facing upwards. Steve stalls for just a moment after getting Riona up before planting her with a BURNING HAMMER!!!

Every single member of the crowd is standing on their feet now as the Modified Archetype Cutter Mark V and the Burning Hammer were hit only about a minute and a half apart. Some of the crowd is chanting "holy shit" because of how Riona landed on her head from the Burning Hammer while others are just making noise for the great action, for once not caring who was on the winning end. Both Darson and Steve slowly begin to get up to their feet as the crowd continues to cheer, jeer, or chant. The men have each taken a different type of punishment in this match but are both equally exhausted from that punishment. They both make it to their feet at the same time and stare across the ring at each other, the crowd quieting down as the two people had thought most likely to win this match come towards each other at a slow pace. The Barton fans cheer both men equally and even though the Durem fans don't really care much for Steve or Darson they are intrigued by this match-up because it hasn't happened in the history of the BTWF before. Finally Darson and Steve are face to face in the middle of the ring and the first shot is quickly thrown by Steve who slams Darson in the chest with a chop. Darson comes back with a brutal chop of his own after taking Steve's chop but 'The White Phoenix' won't let himself back up after Darson took his chop so well. Steve then feigns going for another chop before jumping up and grabbing Darson by the head and neck, locking him into a side headlock. Steve smiles as he has Dar in his control but just as Darson's opponents earlier in the match learned Dar won't be stopped by a simple side headlock. Instead of pushing Steve off though he lifts Steve up as if to go for a Back Suplex but then rushes forward at the ropes before letting Steve go over to the outside! The crowd in the Durem arena can't believe it as they see Darson dump Steve out of the ring but Twist shows them he won't be taken out so easily as he is just able to grab onto the middle rope with one hand after being dumped out of the ring. He then pulls himself back up onto the ring apron as Darson turns his back and begins to pose, showing that Steve was no match for him. Twist gets onto his feet on the apron and yells at Dar not to count him out yet. Darson whirls around as Steve jumps up onto the top rope and hits Dar with the 720 LEGACY!

The Barton fans cheer as do a few Durem fans for Steve but everyone then notices that Steve is holding his right knee while he is on the ground. They figure that Steve must have tweaked his knee again when he performed that last move but suddenly out from the back runs someone no one expected to see. XUNKAI runs down the entrance ramp and gets a big pop from the Barton fans in the Durem Superdome. Once he gets to the bottom of the entrance ramp he keeps running and slides into the ring. Xunkai quickly stands up and goes over to where Steve is slowly making it up to his feet, still holding his leg in pain. Steve looks up and has a look of surprise and joy on his face to see his friend out in the ring ready to support him. Xunkai asks Twist if he needs help but Steve stands up, ignoring the pain in his leg, and says "Thanks but if I want a title shot I need to do this myself. I am really glad to see you back though man." Xunkai nods his head to show Steve he knows what he is saying. Twist then turns around to go over to where Riona is still down to get rid of her but Xunkai grabs Twist by the shoulder and kicks him in the gut before taking him to the corner and hitting him with the X-FLIP! The Barton fans in the crowd have no idea what the hell Xunkai is doing but the Durem fans give him a HUGE ovation for the X-Flip on Twist. Xunkai then gets back up to his feet and hauls Twist to his before throwing Twist over the top rope and out of the ring. Steve Twist has been eliminated! Xunkai then goes between the top and second rope before jumping down to the floor on the outside and begins hitting Steve with some STIFF kicks. Out of the crowd then comes Austin Azure who hopped the barricade earlier and has been watching the match ever since. He just stands over Twist as Xunkai grabs Twist by the head and begins hitting him with short, sharp kicks to the head and face. After a good seven or eight kicks Xunkai drops Twist down to the ground and blood can be seen coming from Twist's head. Austin then yells at Xunkai to "finish him" and Xunkai decides to by going over to the ring apron and digging under it for a kendo stick. He then goes back over to Steve who Azure has held up with his arms held behind his back and hits him with several shots to the head with the kendo stick, breaking it in two with the last shot. Austin then let's Twist fall to the ground before shouting something at him about "Empty Promises" and walking off to the back with Xunkai.

The crowd stares down at Twist, wondering exactly what is going on with this apparent sudden alliance with Xunkai and Austin Azure, a few officials moving over to Twist to help him to the back, Twist seeming completely unconscious from the sharp kicks and kendo stick strikes. The crowd turns their attention back to the ring, suddenly realizing that Riona and Dar are the final two competitors. "Ladies and Gentlemen, now that we are down to our final two competitors, there will be no eliminations via being thrown over the top rope! The only way to be eliminated at this point is via a pinfall or tapping out to a submission! There are still no disqualifications!" The crowd erupts into cheers at this, Dar slowly getting up to a vertical base, Riona seeming a bit reluctant to stand after getting hit with the Burning Hammer from Twist, though she still makes it to her feet, rubbing the back of her neck. As Dar and Riona stare across the ring at each other, a sudden chant comes from the Durem crowd, quickly showing their favorite to win this match. "FUCK 'IM UP LANGLY, FUCK 'IM UP! *clap clap* FUCK 'IM UP LANGLY, FUCK 'IM UP! *clap clap*" The Barton fans in the crowd immediately start a "LET'S GO DARSON, LET'S GO! *clap clap* LET'S GO DARSON, LET'S GO! *clap clap*" chant, though their numbers are much less than the Durem crowd. Dar and Riona slowly walk to the middle of the ring, and Dar raises his hand, offering a handshake. Riona looks down at the hand, a bunch of Durem fans telling her to bitch slap him instead, but Riona slowly nods and takes the hand, shaking it firmly. Dar nods. "Let's say we keep this fair. Pure wrestling. No weapons." Riona nods, agreeing with Dar. "No weapons." The two release the handshake, then move back, even the Durem crowd cheering for the confirmation that they are about to see a pure wrestling match from the two.

Dar and Riona slowly begin to circle around each other, Dar reaching up to wipe the blood off his forehead, the wound having begun to clot at this point due to the lack of damage Dar has taken to his head since the strike from Voorhees that busted him open, some of the crowd recognizing that this is a rematch of sorts for the match both of them had way back on the last Madness before Ragnarok, where the match was interrupted by Big Daddy and led to a giant brawl. Now there is a chance to see who truly is better. Dar and Riona meet up in the middle of the ring with a sudden striking contest, Riona ducking a chop from Dar and hitting a chop of her own before suddenly laying into Dar with a series of kicks and forearms, knocking him back towards the ropes. Riona finally stops her assault and winds up to Lariat Dar over the ropes, but Dar suddenly hits a quick boot to the gut before pulling whipping Riona across the ring and catching her as she comes back with a Back Body Drop, tossing her over the ropes. The crowd at first seems anxious, then remembers that eliminations don't happen via being thrown over the top rope anymore, and calm down, Riona landing on the apron anyway. She quickly turns toward Dar, only to receive a knee to the gut. Dar pulls her into a Front Facelock, then goes to lift her up for a Vertical Suplex, but Riona floats over, turning to face Dar and quickly hitting a Dropkick right into his knee, taking him down on one knee. Riona then runs across the ring, looking to go for a Shining Wizard or some move to be used on a kneeling opponent, but Dar suddenly runs forward and catches Riona with a SPEAR!!! The crowd boos and jeers this heavily, Dar panting a few times before moving over Riona for the pin, Joe Schmoe quickly sliding in, having gotten into the ring after Twist was eliminated. "1...2...THR-NO!" RIONA GETS A SHOULDER UP! The crowd pops huge at this shocking turn of events, pleasantly surprised that Riona had actually managed to kick out of the Spear. Dar moves up to a kneeling position, looking up towards the ceiling and running his hands over his face before falling to all fours, unable to believe he didn't get the three count. Riona slowly moves over towards the ropes, using them to get up, Dar moving up to a vertical base along with her, grabbing her as she turns around and picking her up for a Scoop Slam, driving her back down into the mat. Dar points towards the turnbuckle, then throws a quick X taunt up in the air, the Barton fans responding in a huge pop while the Durem fans meet the taunt with boos. Dar climbs out onto the apron and up onto the turnbuckle, steadying himself for a few moments, then flies off in a Body Spla-NO! Riona rolls out of the way, and Dar connects with the mat!

Dar and Riona slowly move up to kneeling positions, Riona grabbing Dar's head and hitting a quick forearm, but Dar responds with one of his own, the two trading forearms to the side of the head for a few moments, but one of Dar's harder strikes manages to stun long enough for Dar to get a chain going, standing up and bringing Riona up along with him, finally slamming her down in a Standing Head Scissors, but Riona quickly moves out of it, hitting a swift kick into Dar's ribs from the side, then grabs his head and drives her knee up into it, making Dar reel backwards, only to have Riona jump up and hit a Back Brain Kick to the back of Dar's head. Dar stumbles forward, but still doesn't go down, bending over and pushing his hands down against the mat to keep himself from falling, Riona standing up after a moment and glaring at Dar, unable to believe he's still standing, then suddenly flies into an extremely stiff assault of kicks right into Dar's head and ribs, the crowd counting them out. Once Riona reaches seven, Dar is still on his feet, but just barely. Riona sees this, quickly running to the ropes and coming back...Only to have Dar catch her and hit an EXPLODER SUPLEX!!! COVER!!! "1...2...THR-NO!" Dar quickly grabs Riona's arm that she thrust up off the mat, pulling it down into a Crucifix Armbar! The crowd boos and jeers as Dar locks in the hold, wrenching back on Riona's arm and pulling it out of her socket, Riona fighting her way towards the ropes. Finally, after rolling back and forth a few times to gain momentum, Riona manages to roll over onto her side and reach her foot onto the ropes, Joe commanding Dar to break the hold. Dar rolls away onto all fours, panting heavily, unable to believe he hasn't been able to pull a win out with the Spear or an Exploder Suplex. Riona stands up, only to have Dar hit a swift Toekick before putting her in another Standing Head Scissors, flipping her up onto his shoulder in a Powerbomb position, but Riona suddenly reverses it into a Hurricarana! Dar slowly gets up from the move, only to have Riona catch him with a Yakuza Kick! The crowd erupts into cheers as Riona falls over onto Dar for a cover. "1...2...THR-NO!" Dar gets a shoulder up!

The crowd is in awe at this point that the match is still even going on, having expected to see a winner quickly. Riona moves off the cover, breathing heavily for a few moments, then slaps her hand down on the mat in a slow rhythm, the crowd immediately picking up with claps, getting faster as Riona picks Dar up and pushes him into the corner stomach-first before lifting him up onto the top rope, it looking like it took quite a lot of strength to do so, then grabs Dar's neck, pulling him down off the ropes in a Neckbreaker! Riona reaches over and grabs Dar's legs, pulling them away from the ropes in an Inside Cradle! "1...2...THR-NO!" Dar once again barely kicks out, the crowd in shock that he was actually able to. Riona doesn't take the time to whine, quickly picking Dar up and setting herself up on the top rope, spinning out to hit the Whiplash, a Springboard Tornado DDT-NO! Dar tosses Riona off, but she lands on her feet, quickly ducking a Lariat from Dar and turning to hit a boot to the gut before grabbing Dar's head and turning to the side, running off the ropes and hitting the WHIPLASH! Dar's head is absolutely spiked into the canvas, and Riona rolls over for the cover. "1...2...THR-NOOOO!" The crowd immediately begins to boo and jeer, insisting to Joe that it was a three count, but Joe ignores them, telling Riona that it was only two. Riona doesn't even hear Joe, quickly rolling Dar onto his stomach and tucking one arm under his chin, pulling Dar's right arm behind her neck and locking in the PAIN KILLER!!! The crowd immediately gets up on their feet as Riona wrenches back on Dar's neck with the modified Border City Stretch, the Durem fans screaming at Dar to tap out while the Barton fans beg him not to. Riona wrenches back harder on Dar's neck, yelling at him to tap out as well, but Dar refuses to give up, slowly, relentlessly pulling himself over to the ropes, finally able to grab the bottom one. Riona keeps the hold in for a few more seconds, then releases it in disgust, unable to believe Dar was able to escape. The crowd starts another clap, increasing in speed as Riona gets up, then draws her thumb across her neck, signalling for the end. The crowd erupts into cheers as she lifts Dar up and pulls him into a Reverse Facelock, then goes to sling him up for the BOMB DROPPER REMI-NO! Dar wraps his arms around Riona's waist and plants his feet, preventing her from slinging him up for the move. Riona tries to sling Dar up again, but he prevents her from doing so, quickly hitting a few shots to the ribs before twisting out of the hold and pulling Riona into a Front Facelock, lifting her up for a Vertical Suplex, only to have Riona float over again, running to the ropes as Dar turns around, but Dar catches her with a LARIAT!!! Riona flips over from the sheer force of the attack, landing on her stomach in a slump as Dar falls to his knees, panting heavily as he stares down at the map, then rolls over to pull Riona into a pin. "1...2...THR-NOOOOO!" Dar looks like he wants to cry after that, positive that he had Riona beat, the crowd popping huge for Riona getting a shoulder up.

Dar slowly gets back up to a vertical base, rubbing his neck, obviously still feeling the effects of the Painkiller, but reaches down and grabs Riona, lifting her up onto his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry, then picks her up and drops her right down on his knee in a Gutbuster before pushing Riona off, The Prodigy laying on her stomach, slowly pushing herself up onto all fours as Dar runs back into the ropes, only to be caught with a huge Rising Knee to the face from Dar, slumping over onto her stomach. Dar reaches down and grabs Riona, lifting her up for a Vertical Suplex, stalling for about five seconds before dropping her right down in a Brainbuster! Dar rolls over for the cover once more. "1...2...THR-NOOOOOOO!" Riona just barely manages to get a shoulder up, Joe seeming a bit reluctant to make a call, then turns and tells Dar it was a two count. Dar sighs heavily, closing his eyes for a few moments, wondering what it's going to take to put Riona down for good. Dar picks Riona up once more, hitting a quick forearm shot to her head before running back against the ropes for another LARIA-NO! Riona grabs Dar's arm, twisting it up around into a Hammerlock, then twists Dar into a Front Facelock, hooking his leg before dropping back in a Leg Sweep DDT, Dar's face bouncing off the canvas! "1...2...THR-NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The crowd boos and jeers heavily, unable to believe that that wasn't a three count. Riona glares over at Joe, picking Dar up and kicking him in the gut, pulling him into a Standing Head Scissors and calling out "DEVOLUTION!" The crowd immediately gets back up on their feet (those that already weren't), but Riona doesn't seem to be able to pull Dar up for the maneuver, Dar suddenly pulling out of the Head Scissors and kicking Riona in the gut before pulling her down into a Standing Head Scissors of his own, lifting her up onto his shoulders before driving her down in a Powerbomb! Dar holds Riona's legs down for the pin. "1...2...THR-NOOOOOOO!" Dar quickly turns Riona over and wrenches her legs up, locking in a LION TAMER!!! The crowd boos and jeers heavily as Dar locks in the elevated Boston Crab, most BTWF historians knowing this was exactly how the match before Ragnarok ended, Big Daddy having come in to interfere at this time. Big Daddy is nowhere in sight, however, and it doesn't look like Riona has anywhere to go, Dar having the move locked in in the middle of the ring. Riona cries out in pain, Dar curving her spine at a level not seen before, but slowly claws her way over towards the ropes, Dar fighting to keep her in the middle of the ring, but he simply doesn't have the strength after the exhaustion of this match. Riona finally grabs the ropes, the crowd sighing in relief as Dar breaks the hold, falling to his knees and slamming his fists down on the mat in frustration.

Dar moves up to a vertical base, waiting for Riona to get up before pulling her into a Reverse Waistlock, but Riona quickly turns to the side and hits a few elbows to Dar's temple, forcing him to release the hold, Riona turning and hitting another Dropkick to Dar's knee. Dar falls down to one knee again, Riona running across the ring, but Dar grabs her as she comes back, about to go for a Spinebus-NO! Riona slides over his back and pulls him down into a SUNSET FLIP! "1...2...THR-NOOOOO!" Dar manages to kick out, the crowd booing and jeering heavily. Riona gets up, running back across the ring and catching Dar as he starts to get up with a SHINING WIZARD!!! COVER!!! "1...2...THR-NOOOOOO!" Dar gets a hand on the ropes! The crowd just stares at this, wondering exactly how Dar is still able to kick out and get his hands on the rope time and time again. Riona slowly picks up Dar, carrying him over to the middle of the ring and looking out over the crowd, pulling Dar down into a Standing Head Scissors one last time, the crowd erupting into cheers as Riona goes to lift Dar up for the DEVOLUTI-NOOOOO! Dar hits a a few punches to the ribs, finally pulling out and hitting a boot to the gut, then pulls Riona down into a Standing Head Scissors, flipping her up onto his shoulders, then lets her upper body hang down, stepping across her legs as if going for a Devolution of his own, but instead Dar just jumps up and crushes Riona's head and neck down into the mat with the ENDGAME!!! The crowd boos and jeers heavily, Dar slowly pushing Riona over so that her back is on the mat, then slumps onto her for the cover, Riona completely motionless. "ONE...TWO...THREEEEEEEE!!!!!" The crowd lets out a collective sigh as "Revolution Man" starts up, the Barton fans in the crowd immediately letting out a huge cheer. Dar slowly rolls off of the pin, laying on his back and staring up at the ceiling, his chest heaving, seeming about to pass out. Joe moves over to check on Riona, everyone having seen the way Riona's neck was crushed down into the mat with the move, but Riona seems to be moving after a few moments, rolling over onto her side, her eyes closed. After a few moments, the Durem crowd suddenly begins to clap, everyone joining in until a huge round of applause, deciding to congratulate the competitors on a great match rather than brood about Riona not winning. A chant starts up from the corner of the arena, the whole crowd soon taking it up. "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" Victor Cross attempts to be heard over the din. "Here is your winner, and NEW Number One Contender for the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship, The X Factor...DARSON GRAYS!!!"

Dar and Riona slowly start to sit up at this point, Riona holding her neck, Dar still breathing like he just came up from twenty feet underwater. Finally, Dar gets up to a standing position, walking across the ring to Riona, reaching a hand down to help her up. Riona looks up at Dar, seeming a bit reluctant to accept the gesture, but after a moment reaches out and takes his hand, Dar helping her up to her feet. Dar releases her hand, looking down at her for a few moments, Riona looking up at Dar before holding her hand out, Dar smiling widely before taking it a handshake, the crowd popping huge for the display of respect between the two. Dar suddenly turns as Heat, Seraph, Kanyon and Ravena appear at the top of the ramp, running down to the ring. Riona releases the handshake and gives a nod to Dar before moving off to the side and exiting the ring, AoE moving into the ring in her place and tackling Dar down to the mat, all extremely happy that their leader won the match. Dar laughs as they help him up, each of them forming a line after a moment, all raising their arms up into the air to another pop from the crowd. Finally, AoE exits the ring, all of them heading back up the ramp, still congratulating Dar. As the four other members slip through the curtains, Dar stops for a moment, turning to face the crowd and slowly making the belt gesture at his waist, another cheer coming up from the Barton fans at this before Dar moves behind the curtains as well and we fade...to...black.
