Wednesday, August 2nd 2000: Death From Above (Pay Per View) Card #15 - Match #4 SuperBeast Vs. Dark Angel Author: Alexander Michael Quinn (LimousineDriver) [President] Match: Death Sphere Match. Rules: None, must climb on top of sphere, after opponent is in acid. Titles: None. Commentators: Iaian McBride, James Colburn ____________________________________________________________________ McBride: Well, so far so good! Colburn: (british accent) Yes, I have also been enjoying myself. McBride: Great, bloodlust and british loving. You get weirder everyday. Colburn: (smiles) Aww, it's just to bug you. Hehehe... McBride: Riiiight. Anyway, our next match is gonna be a mighty bit complicated! Colburn: You're telling me, geeze. McBride: Apparently they're gonna suspend a large hollowed out metal sphere above a pool of acid. Colburn: Yep. This is a 40 foot diameter sphere, so we are talking one heck of a big one! Inside the sphere, the wrestlers will battle it out! McBride: Not only will they have to deal with eachother, this sphere isn't exactly accomodating. Colburn: Damn straight, there are about ten large man-sized holes in the sphere which lead to the outside, all along the lower half of the sphere. The point is for one wrestler to throw out another! McBride: Into a pit of acid...Ouch! Colburn: Yeah really. We're talking acid which will cause more than a slight tingle. McBride: Dude! It's gonna do a lot more than that! Colburn: Yeah, and if that wasn't enough, each hole spews a wall of flame so that you can't get through the hole without burning. McBride: Only Dark Angel and SuperBeast would be crazy enough to do this. Colburn: As well as half the remaining staff. McBride: True. Well, hopefully we'll be getting started soon. (As if on cue, the Havoc Viewscreen flickers on and we see Gothic standing in a small booth, behind a control panel filled with buttons.) Gothic: Well, as you all know this fight will be taking place between our purveyor of darkness and our savage streetfighter, Dark Angel Vs. SuperBeast! I have decided to take the controls in order to determine the speed at which the sphere spins at all times during a match. In order for a wrestler to win, not only must he throw his opponent into the acid, but must then successfully climb to the top of the sphere with the many rungs attached provided. [Back at the Table] McBride: Oh yeah, that's what we forgot. Colburn: Well, let's turn on the mikes from our end and see what's going on in there. For once, we have the camera controls. [In the Sphere] (The camera switches angles and we see within the sphere. We can see through the holes that the sphere has begun to spin. Dark Angel is leaning down against one side and SuperBeast is hunched over in a fighting position opposite his opponent. The sphere has many holes across the bottom and a fairly smooth surface, textured to allow the wrestlers to grip.) Dark Angel: Time for blood is near. SuperBeast: Yours or mine...I DON'T CARE! (With that, SuperBeast lunges towards Dark Angel, and Dark Angel prepares to parry, only to find that SuperBeast flies over him. SuperBeast bounces of the upper side of the sphere above Dark Angel and comes shooting down, elbow dropping a surprised Dark Angel right into the ground. They both roll down towards the center, skipping and flailing across the holes. We see the background from the holes start to blur in speed.) [At the Table] McBride: Great start! Colburn: Yeah, someone's been studying the sphere! McBride: Even with his outlandishly savage appearance, remember that SuperBeast has a great intelligence for battle. Colburn: They both manage to get up, despite the spinning sphere. Dark Angel gets his balance first and punches SuperBeast in the head, knocking SuperBeast's leg into one of the flaming holes! McBride: Dude, that had to hurt! Colburn: No sh*t, he managed to jump out of it off his remaining foot, but most of his left leg has been scorched! McBride: I don't think that's gonna stop the Beast. [In the Sphere] Dark Angel: I'm not only gonna knock you in the acid, I'm going to jump down and hold your head underneath! SuperBeast: Bring it. (Dark Angel and SuperBeast leap at eachother. Dark Angel tries to punch SuperBeast, but SuperBeast ducks in mid-air and manages to grab ahold of Dark Angel, landing on the ground with Dark Angel in a backbreaker. Dark Angel arches his back against the pain and rolls out quickly. Dark Angel lands against the right wall [Well, you know] of the sphere with SuperBeast over him.) [At the Table] Colburn: Beautiful move! McBride: Even in pain, the man still pulls these things off! Colburn: With all the high risk maneuvers and danger involved, I question just how long this is gonna last! McBride: Dude, who cares? Colburn: I want bloodshed! McBride: Yeah. Dark Angel is up again and managed to get out of harm's way. SuperBeast and Dark Angel are eyeing eachother once again. Colburn: Yes! SuperBeast runs and tries to clothesline Dark Angel! McBride: Uh oh, reversal. Dragonscrew, dragonscrew! Colburn: You wish, SuperBeast saw that one coming. As Dark Angel twists his arm, SuperBeast does a flip to stay with him and runs up the side of the wall to come down with Dark Angel in his grip. McBride: Dude? That was fast. [In the Sphere] (SuperBeast had run sideways up the sphere in order to twist around Dark Angel, so that he lands with his chest against Dark Angel's back, his arm around Dark Angel's throat. They are now facing the wall of the sphere. Dark Angel tries to struggle out and then has an immediate idea. He runs his leg up the wall of the sphere and manages to twist out of SuperBeast's grip and land right behind SuperBeast, and wastes no time. Before he even lands his backflip, he executes a swinging neckbreaker on SuperBeast. They both go down hard, now a hole of flame right between them. The fire begins to scorch the backs of both men, SuperBeast is holding his neck and coughing up blood. Dark Angel quickly rolls and stands up. SuperBeast also gets up and runs after Dark Angel.) SuperBeast: I'm not finished yet! Dark Angel: I think you are. [At the Table] Colburn: Sh*t man! Dark Angel and SuperBeast begin fistfighting, maintaining their own ground on either side of the hole. McBride: Dark Angel is getting in a lot of good punches! Colburn: This isn't fair, he isn't the one on the slope towards the wall! McBride: I see where this is going... [In the Sphere] (Dark Angel has managed to get SuperBeast quite well a lot of times in the head with his fist. Dark Angel then picks up SuperBeast and executes a powerbomb pin into the hole. Dark Angel is sitting down with SuperBeast's legs in his arms. SuperBeast is halfway in and out of the sphere, the random flames scorching his chest.) SuperBeast: OW, F*CK! Dark Angel: I could kill you now, but I'd rather let you fall away from consciousness before hitting the acid for a slower death. SuperBeast: It's gonna take more than that! (SuperBeast kicks Dark Angel upside the head and falls down through the hole of the sphere. Dark Angel stands up, spits some blood, and grins.) [At the Table] McBride: That's it! Now Dark Angel has to climb up to the top of the sphere! Colburn: Damnit, poor Beast was getting tortured by that flame...it was between death and losing. Something tells me he opted for another day. McBride: Dark Angel manages to slip through one of the holes and only getting slightly scorched. (The camera view switches to the outside top of the sphere. We see a hand come up over the edge and Dark Angel hoists himself up onto the upper part of the sphere.) Colburn: That's it, Dark Angel has won! ********* [Editor's Note: When was the last time I made things this easy ;)] ********* [Outside the Sphere] (Another hand comes up over the edge and SuperBeast forward flips and lands on Dark Angel, straddling his head and knocking him headfirst into the steel. SuperBeast hasn't even been touched by the acid and had enough consciousness left to grab a rung to avoid falling.) Dark Angel: You aren't gonna give up, are you?! SuperBeast: Shut up and die! (SuperBeast is lying on top of Dark Angel, who is face first in the sphere. He's punching the sh*t out of Dark Angel. Dark Angel manages to twist a metal rung off of the top of the sphere and twist around to face SuperBeast.) [At the Table] McBride: I see a lot of pain in Beast's future. Colburn: Here it comes... McBride: Dark Angel is beating the sh*t out of SuperBeast's head with the metal rung he pried off the sphere! Colburn: OW! Can we say concussion?! McBride: SuperBeast is bleeding profusely from several open gashes on his head. I think he's about to pass out! Colburn: Wow...I like blood, but goddamn, SuperBeast is spitting blood. [In the Sphere] (Dark Angel has managed to get up and knock SuperBeast back. Dark Angel is beating SuperBeast with the metal rung. The blood has run down the sides of the sphere and is beginning to drip and mingle with the yellow acid below. Dark Angel swings down again and SuperBeast is knocked back, skidding across the top of the sphere, catching himself on a few rungs.) Dark Angel: Time to go for a swim! SuperBeast: Unh...why...(gets up to prepare for Dark Angel's final swing). ...not...(manages to catch Dark Angel's hand coming down towards his head) GO WITH ME! (SuperBeast grabs onto Dark Angel's throat and jumps up off the top of the sphere, chokeslamming Dark Angel off the top of the sphere.) [At the Table] McBride: Oh my God, the pool is so far below from the top that they're still in freefall. Colburn: This is at least 60 feet! The biggest chokeslam in f*cking history! McBride: No wonder it's taking so long! Stop the slow-motion a$$hole! Colburn: Huh? Oops, sorry. [In the Pool] (Dark Angel crashes through the acid, with SuperBeast chokeslamming him all the way through towards the bottom [About fifteen feet deep].) [At the Table] Colburn: Sh*t, we lost them, we don't have cameras down *there*! McBride: Hey, they both touched the acid...now what? Colburn: I guess it's whomever makes it to the top first now...I dunno. McBride: Geeze, if they even get out of that pool. Colburn: Ahh, they can still get back on the sphere, they just gotta get to the edge, climb out, and jump back on. McBride: Dude! If they survive! [At the pool] (Dark Angel and SuperBeast manage to surface near the left edge. SuperBeast climbs out, trying to avoid the pain. Dark Angel is also twitching and wincing from the acid. SuperBeast climbs out and jumps towards the sphere.) [At the Table] Colburn: Once that acid kicks in, we are talking major pain! McBride: As it is, they will be hospitalized for severe damage! Colburn: Yeah, I guess that acid wouldn't be to good for their skin or their eyes. McBride: SuperBeast made his leap, but his hanging from a bottom rung on the bottom of the sphere. He's dangling over the pool again, but doesn't seem to have the strength to make it. Colburn: Dark Angel makes the leap and hooks onto SuperBeast's legs! McBride: Wow! He's still managing to hold on, but I swear I heard a ligament tear! Colburn: SuperBeast swings his legs up and slams Dark Angel into one of the holes in the sphere, burning him severely! McBride: That's enough for Dark Angel to lose his grip! Colburn: He fell back in the pool...oh look, paramedics on the scene! McBride: The sphere has stopped spinning, SuperBeast managed to climb to the top! Colburn: SuperBeast wins! But with the acid reacting to his wounds...I dunno about this. McBride: Well, Dark Angel should be alright for his next match tonight, although that acid will probably bother him for the next hour or so before the last match of the night. Colburn: Yeah...but SuperBeast? McBride: He wasn't so lucky. He's got enough scorch marks to start his own fire...and the acid's reaction to the blood from his open wounds on his head can't be too healthy. Colburn: Geeze...I don't think either wrestler will be too eager to do this match again soon. McBride: Well, let's get ready for the next match!
