[Lupin the Third]

*TrainWreck, the new FPCW Grand Champion, walks out onto the stage, looking out at the crowd. He walks down the ramp, getting in the ring. He holds the Grand Championship up, staring out at the crowd, before grabbing a microphone.*

"Now let me just start by saying it's been far too long since I've held this gold. Back when this company began again, I was one of the more dominant faces in the sport. I held not only the FPCW Grand Championship, but the FPCW Young Lions Cup, and the Underground World Heavyweight Championship. But over the course of a couple months, that all fell apart, and I've had to work my ass off to even get back to this point. Now, to say I'm a bit peeved that it took this long to get back here is a bit of an understatement. And then, there's the man that I am facing for this title. Pegasus Seiya. Seiya, before I say anything, get your ass out here now, so I can say to you in person."



*The fans erupt, as out walks the No. 1 Contender, Pegasus Seiya. He walks down the ramp to the ring, grabbing a mic before getting in the ring. He stares down TrainWreck as the champion looks at him.*

"Now you know why I called you out here, Seiya. I still haven't forgotten how I lost this title the first time. In fact, I remember WHO screwed me out of this title."

*Seiya takes a breath before addressing him.*

"TrainWreck, it was an accident. It was from a time long in the past. I feel it's time to let that go."

*TrainWreck chuckles at this.*

"You think it's that easy to let something like that go. I DON'T F***ING THINK SO!!! I've had to work my ass off for the past seven years to even get a chance at this belt. Meanwhile, YOU have been handed SHOT AFTER SHOT AFTER SHOT. You've held this title FIVE TIMES. And one of them was the longest reign until that Grumpy Blue "Prince" finally beat it."

"And another thing. You and that Hoity Toity Prince were fighting the Dangerous Alliance for YEARS. In fact, it was your little feud with the Dangerous Alliance that caused me to lose the Grand Championship. And you were unable to finish the job, and finish off the Dangerous Alliance."

"A mistake that I RECTIFIED."

"And yet, here you are, friends with one of the former members, the man that beat me, Adam Bomb. And you two are running around now with the Dark Order! So, how about this? On the next episode of FPCW Live, I will be having the first ever RUNAWAY TRAIN Challenge. Me in a gauntlet match against 5 members of the Dark Order. You can choose which 5 it is, it doesn't matter. I will run through them. And at FPCW SKYFALL, like the Dangerous Alliance, I will finish the job, AND PUT YOU IN THE GROUND."

*The two men stare each other down, as officials start to come between them to break up the tension.*

[Lupin the Third]

*Adam Bomb sits in the Dark Order's locker room, absolutely frustrated after losing the Trios titles. But his foul mood doesn't stay around long, as the rest of the Dark Order come in, celebrating Seiya's win, showering him with champagne and beer. Uno looks over at Adam Bomb, telling the others to calm it a bit.*

"No, no. Don't stop on my account. Even though we lose as the Dark Order, we also win as the Dark Order. And we need to celebrate this. SIX TIMES. SIX TIMES, Seiya! You've got to be one of the best in company history!"

*The others agree and praise him, to which Seiya just gives them the "Oh, stop" modesty. They keep celebrating, until they notice Hangman walking in.*

"Hey guys.....it looks like you're having a really good time. I don't want to inter-"

"Nonononono. You stay. I've got something to say you, PAGE."

*The others look at Adam Bomb, as he stares a hole through Hangman.*

"Like I said, I was not on board for being part of the Dark Order. I mean, Uno had me under a spell for nearly a year. But you taught me that sometimes, you have to give things in life a second chance. And I did. I heard the rumblings from around the internet. The Mockery of the Dark Order. I stood by these guys like a band of brothers. Because that's what family does."

"And then, lo and behold, your old friends come around, asking you to come back. Despite them being the ones that DUMPED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. So you drop the Dark Order like a jaded ex. Despite them being beside you at your lowest of lows. When nobody else cared about you. What the f*** kind of friendship is that?"

*Hangman is about to speak, but Adam Bomb cuts him off again.*

"Don't. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear the lies. Just......just go."

*Hangman looks at him, a bit of sadness in his eyes, as he walks out of the locker room. The rest of the Dark Order look at Hangman leaving, before looking back at Adam Bomb, a bit surprised from all that.*

[Lupin the Third]

*The crowd gives a mixed reaction, as out walks CM Punk! He poses, before walking down the ramp, getting in the ring. He grabs a mic, listening to the mixed crowd.*

"Such a warm welcome out here tonight!"

"Now, I know I haven't been in FPCW for a while. And it's for many reasons. However, I'm not here to focus on the past. I'm here to focus on the now. And I want a shot at the FPCW Grand Championship."



*The fans erupt, clapping along, as out walks the FPCW Grand Champion, PEGASUS SEIYA!! He stares a hole through CM Punk, walking down the ramp. He gets in the ring, grabbing a microphone, not taking his eyes off Punk.*

"Now, I don't know if you got knocked a bit loopy. But things are a little different around here. You don't get to waltz in, and demand a title shot. You have to earn 3 points for your Golden Opportunity. Now, if you want to fight the champ, I'm more than willing to oblige. Because quite frankly......"

"I don't like you."

*CM Punk smirks, as he says that.*

"Is that so? Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but a lot of people don't like me."

"I've noticed. And I think I know why. Because you are a selfish, overbearing, egotistical, little bitch. You want to act like you're helping now that you're back? I can't think of one person you've elevated since you returned. And then, you want to throw Hangman under the bus? Now, we're not as tight as we were, but I still consider Hangman a friend. And you want to play the bitch card, saying you're afraid that he would "shoot" on you? Well, be afraid, because at the pay-per-view, I'm gonna knock your ass out."

*He drops the mic, before slapping Punk in the face! Punk stumbles back, as Seiya holds the Grand Championship high.*

[Lupin the Third]

*Out walks the Young Bucks, as the fans cheer them a bit. They pose on the ramp, before they walk down to the ring. They get in, and Matt grabs a mic.*

"That's right, Young Bucks are in the House! You know, Hangman is in a match for the next pay-per-view as part of the Jaysin Strife Memorial Tournament. And Kenny is taking the event off-"

*There's a few boos to this.*

"Hey now, he kinda earned it with that classic with Ospreay at Forbidden Door. However, the Bucks are here to issue an open challenge to anyone in FPCW that wants a shot at the best tag team in wrestling! And let's say, how about at the next Pay-Per-View?"

*They look around, before the lights go down. And then....*



*The fans erupt, as Hellion plays, then Electric Eye begins, and out walks ADAM BOMB!! He stares a hole through the Bucks, as the fans sing along to his theme. He looks out at the crowd for a moment, before getting in the ring. He grabs a mic as they continue singing along, pointing to them, and to his ear. He turns and looks at the Bucks.*

"Oh goody, it's another challenge from the Dark Order. Look, Adam Bomb. We whipped your friends Uno, Silver, & Grayson already. Don't make this even worse for you guys."

"Matt, I'm just gonna say this: Check yourself. Because quite honestly, I don't care that you beat them. They gave you everything they had, and you barely got away with one. Also, I'm just gonna say this, you guys are the biggest hypocrites in this business."

*The crowd ooos and ahhs with that one, as the Bucks just give him an "Oh Really?"*

"Yeah, really. You see, you made Hangman's life a living hell for nearly a year, kicking him out of the ELITE, and then causing him misery. You weren't there for the lowest part of his life. But the Dark Order was. And then, he goes back to you, abandoning the friends that helped him through a rough time."

*Nick grabs the mic from Matt.*

"Aww, is someone a bit jealous that Hangman chose us over the Dark Order? Such a sob story."

*Adam Bomb looks at him, unimpressed.*

"I'm just gonna say this once, Nick. Shut the f*** up before I knock your f***ing teeth in."

"Anyways, I hear you two want a challenge? Well then, allow me to accept that challenge. Because even though you two are one of the best tag teams in all of wrestling, I don't give a shit. Because I'm just gonna beat the hell out of you two."

*Matt grabs the mic back.*

"That's tough talk, coming from someone who doesn't have a partner."

"Oh, I've got a partner. I just need to utter two words for you."

*He drops the mic, motioning to his hand, like he's holding a detonator. He flips his thumb, mouthing "Click, DOOMSDAY!!"*



*The fans erupt, as out walks ABYSS!!! He marches down the ramp to the ring, getting in the ring. The Bucks make a strategic retreat, sliding out of the ring, as Adam Bomb and Abyss stare them down from in the ring.*

*The lights go dark blue, as out walks the Dark Prince of Everfree, Lapis Umbral, and his Royal Consort, Desert Sun. A pair we haven't seen in FPCW for a bit. Desert Sun no longer has the neck collar, looking stunning as always. They walk down to the ring, as Lapis helps her up. He holds the ropes as she gets in, the crowd greeting them warmly. He grabs a mic as he looks out.*

"Now I know I haven't been around very often lately. I've been trying to look after my sweet Morning Flower as she recovered. But also, I've been strategizing against the Brotherhood. Ripper, you want to up the ante? You want to bring in your master? The Demon Barber of Fleet Street? That's perfectly fine. Because now, you've laid your cards on the table. And so will I. At FPCW Slammiversary, I want you Norrington......IN A LION'S DEN MATCH!!!"



*The crowd boos, as out walks Jack "The Ripper" Norrington, Sweeney Todd, and CLAYMORE. The trio walk down the ramp, as Umbral stays between them and Desert Sun. They get in the ring, and Norrington grabs a mic.*

But I'd be careful if I were you, Dark Prince. You don't have the numbers like you used to. Jungle Boy has moved on. Balor is no where to be seen. Darby and Sting aren't here. There's three of us, and only two of you. I'm not gonna wait until Slammiversary.....I'm gonna finish what I started....now...."

*The three slowly move towards the Royal Couple. Lapis stares them down, as Desert Sun looks on in fear...*



*The crowd ERUPTS, as out comes the FPCW Parts Unknown Openweight Champion, EDDIE KINGSTON!! The War King walks with a purpose to the ring, holding a kendo stick! The trio turn as he slides in, and scatter as he swings the kendo stick!! He looks at Lapis, giving him a nod, before turning to the trio outside. He grabs a mic.*

"I know there's more of you back there, and I don't care. I'll go through each and everyone of you. This man has my back in FPCW, so you damn well know that I got his. But if he gets the student at Slammiversary, I want the teacher. Sweeney Todd, you may be the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, but I'm a sadistic motha. So I'm issuing you a challenge. You face me for my FPCW Parts Unknown Openweight Championship......IN AN I QUIT MATCH!!"

*They stare down the trio as they walk back up the ring, mouthing off at each other.*
