[The crowd is standing as "Diamond" Lou Walsh moves the center of the ring. The camera's move around the arena highlighting the record turnout for END OF DAYS. They scream, they cheer, they wave their signs high in the air as the cameras make them famous for a split second. Jerry Stevens leans into the corner with his striped referee shirt, ready to call the action. The cameras settle back in front of Eddie Page and Russell McCoy. Both men are still reeling from the action that they have seen this night.]

[PAGE] Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come as the action of End of Days is about to reach it's zenith. Two men that have been on a collision course the past few weeks are about to meet for the greatest prize in our sport, the CAL Heavyweight Championship.

[MCCOY] We can only be talking about Mace and Jack Cross in what can only be described as a match that will define CAL championship matches from this time forward.

[The scene fades out from McCoy and Page to images of Mace and Cross standing beside each other individually looking ahead at the camera. Mace flexing his shoulders back with the CAL championship across his shoulder. Jack Cross stands with a smirk on his face as he pounds his kendo stick into his open hand. CAL CHAMPIONSHIP written beneath the two men as they stare ahead with intensity in the eyes. The scene fades back to McCoy and Page who are still talking]

[PAGE] Not only is this a Darkness verus Authority match but this one goes beyond as this has turned into a personal war between the two men. This one can only be an intense night for both men.

[MCCOY] You can't look at either one of them without realizing the devastation that they will inflict on each other as Jack Cross walks out the winner.

[PAGE] Nice to see you are staying unbiased in this one.

[MCCOY] Hey, I didn't say it would be an easy win.

[PAGE] Let's go down to the ring where "Diamond" Lou Walsh is standing by.

[The cameras break from McCoy and Page and pull up on the ring. "Diamond" Lou Walsh stands in his tuxedo and microphone in hand as the crowd continues to get louder and louder.]

[DIAMOND LOU] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!! This next match is for the Coalition of Affiliated Leagues HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

[The crowd is up on to their feet cheering and screaming for a match that could rival all the matches of the night. They are more then ready as the PA starts to scream alive and the lights flicker once. The opening rifts of 'Cultural Revelution' by Black Flag scream across the arena as all eyes turn to the stage.]

###get ready to - make a stand
get ready to - make a stand
cause if - we don't- fuckin' - do it
then no one's going to! no!###

[With a thunderous boom of a firework Jack Cross and Josh Peterman emerge from entrance. Jack looks decidingly different, instead of his usual ring attire of Trench coat, hemp jeans, belt, ect. He's wearing a skin tight Russian red T-shirt with the Hammer and Sickle above his heart.]

###have you seen the scene on the street?
do you care what's - going on?###

[Jack's weapon is clearly displayed, not on his hands, but rather, on them. In left hand Jack holds a glove and attached to the glove is a large blunt single pronged claw. Along his right arm he carrys a rectangular sheild attached to a long glove, ending at the elbow and starting at the wrist.]

###thousands - homeless - in the land of the free
but no one seems to think it's wrong!###

[Josh looks normal, White Cammo pants and Black Deftones t-shirt. Though he is carrying a kendo stick made out of Black Bambo.]

###that's why we fuckin'wrote this song###

[BOOM!]

[The crowd pops as the fireworks scares the hell out of them. The boos from the crowd are louder with small areas cheering for the Darkness member.]

[DIAMOND LOU] HAILING FROM WHITEHOUSE, CANADA. STANDING AT 6'0" TALL AND WEIGHING AT 206 LBS, HE IS JACK CROSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

###take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
we're not gonna back down!
(we're talking...) culture revolution!###

[Jack starts walking down the ramp, looking highly focused and not paying attention to the booing crowd.]

[PAGE] I know that this is a weapon's choice match but I don't think that claw is going to be allowed. My god, He could kill MACE with that thing in the ring.

[MCCOY] Jack Cross may look indifferent right now but you know that he is more then ready for that match. He is ready to take that title and that claw is the any way he can.

[PAGE] I am not sure that Stevens will allow that Claw to be used tonight. The match is a weapon's choice match but the fine print to that is that it can not be a lethal weapon.

###this ship is sinking - it's time we set it right
when the standards of - society
are based - solely on greed
humanity - compassion - do not define
what it means to succeed! no!###

[Josh follows behind Jack, but fully engaging the crowd.]

###for the poor - contempt and hate
from the rich - middle class, the state
compassion - dumped for - apathy
the greatest nation ever seen?
that's fuckin' real hard to beleive... ###

[Jack reaches the ring and slides into it. Josh makes his way around the ring]

###take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
we're not gonna back down!
(we're talking...) culture revolution!
this ship is sinking - it's time we set it right###

[Jack stands in the center of the ring and holds his weapon and shield up high...]

###socialized - socialized###

[and bangs them together.]

[BOOM!]

###mechanized - mechanized###

[BOOM!]

###to consume...## #

[and bangs them together.]

[BOOM!]

###everything in the world###

[The music comes to an abrupt stop, drawing a 'what the hell' reaction out of Jack. Stevens is leaning through the ropes discussing something with the time keeper and an official in the back. He puts his hand over the ear piece he is wearing so he can hear what is being said clearly through the screaming and booing crowd.]

[PAGE] Stevens is discussing something in the back that has to deal with that Claw on Cross's hand.

[MCCOY] Don't tell me they are going to become all whiny now. My god, they are trying to stack the deck against Cross right from the beginning.

[Stevens nods his head in agreement to something as he pulls back from the ropes and turns to Jack Cross and Josh. Jerry Stevens walks over and begins to discuss something with the two men. Jack Cross's expression suddenly changes to one of anger. He begins screaming at Stevens who doesn't back down. Stevens points at the claw and then points out of the ring. Cross takes a step to Stevens and stares at him as Josh grabs Cross's shoulder. Cross doesn't take his eyes off of Stevens as he undoes the claw on his hand.]

[PAGE] Stevens has laid down the law and the claw will not be allowed in this match.

[MCCOY] Bunch of damn criers! This has to be an Authority set up. They had to put Steven's up to this. The world is against Cross.

[Jack Cross hands the claw over to Josh. Josh hands the kendo stick to Jack who smiles widely at Stevens.]

[PAGE] This isn't much better but it is a legal weapon. There is no one better in the ring with a kendo stick then Jack Cross.

[MCCOY] And the man knows how to punish someone with it. That along with this chance to after waiting a long time to finally prove himself as the best in the CAL!

[PAGE] No arguement here. Jack Cross is a force in the ring but so is the man that still wears the CAL Heavyweight Title. Kendo stick or not, this will still be a match to remember. Here he comes, our CAL champion.

[Jack Cross settles back into this corner, his eyes burning a hole into the entrance awaiting his opponent. The Crowd begins to go wild again as the P.A. comes back to life again. No one sits as they are all on thier feet awaiting just a sight of one man.]

##You knew that I was comin cause you heard my name
But you don't know my game and never felt my pain
Can't read my brain but you read my lips
And got scared when you heard that I was comin with hits
Now don't even trip, be a man instead
Give thanks I'm alive when I should be dead
I'm in the red cause my mind's distortin
People claimin that they know me, but they only know a portion
I'm gonna move mountains and touch the sun
Don't get scared now, you knew this day would come
So hold your bids, all bets are closed
And fuck all you hoes ##

[As the sound of a dropping bomb fills the arena Mace steps out from behind the curtain, to an ovation so loud that it can be heard from outside the arena. The song changes into Powerman 5000's Bombshell.]

##Get up
Get up
Get up
Drop the Bombshell
Get up
Get up
This is out of control
Get up
Get up
Get up
Drop the Bombshell
Get up
Get up
Get down...##

[After a few moments of soaking in the crowd's adulation, Mace begins to walk down the ramp. His long brown hair is wet as usual, clinging to his forehead, and the rest of his face. He wears his usual faded blue jeans, which come to a stop, just low enough to show that he still wears his usual black Doc Martens. A black Authority T-shirt shows off his enormous physique. The words "Respect my Authority" written across the front. Around his waist he proudly wears the CAL world title belt.]

[DIAMOND LOU] STANDING AT 6'2" AND WEIGHING 270 LBS. HE IS THE CAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP, MAAACCCCEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MCCOY]: Ha, the idiot forgot to bring a weapon.

[PAGE]: Maybe Mace is just confident in his abilities, feels he doesn't need one.

[MCCOY]: Maybe he's an idiot.

##Now, look who's coming
Yeah, look who's back
Quick drop the bombshell straight to the track
The 21st century killing machine
Burnt on the inside,
A five-headed team

Now I'm not the same because you're not the same,
Well you're not the same the because I'm not the same,
We're not the same, this could never be the same
and we just wanna survive...##

[When Mace makes it to the ring, he begins to circle it. As he gets to the corner he climbs onto the guardrail, and raises the belt over his head, causing a huge round of applause to eminate from that section of the arena. He proceeds to the next corner where he repeats the same process, to very similar results.]

##Get up
Get up
Get up
Drop the Bombshell
Get up
Get up
This is out of control
Get up
Get up
Get up
Drop the Bombshell
Get up
Get up
Get down...##

[After he's made it around all four corners, he takes a step back and looks at the ring. He draws in a deep breath, and then rolls into the ring. He goes from ringpost to ringpost completely ignoring Jack raising the belt above his head each time. With each one, another cheer goes up from the capacity crowd.]

##Now you are the same, because you want it all,
and you want the transmit cause you want the call,
and you want the one that makes the worlds collide,
but since that has happened who knows what's inside...##

##I'm not same
You're not the same
You're not the same, and
I'm not the same...##

[Mace finally comes down, and goes face to face with Jack as the music dies down.]

[PAGE]: It looks like the champ has chosen to go without a weapon.

[Mace takes off the CAL belt, turning his back on Jack. Jack is staring holes into Mace's head but his honour won't allow him to attack an opponent with his back turned, when suddenly Mace lunges at Jack, cracking the CAL title against his face.]

[PAGE]: What a brilliant move. Mace is going to use the CAL title as his weapon. Not even I saw that coming.

[MCCOY]: I did. Mace is so predictable. Just like an Authority member to cheat like that.

[Mace falls on Jack Cross, as the kendo stick rolls out of reach for Jack, and begins to strike him with a series of puches to the face. Jack Cross is taken a back at first as he absorbs the punches. Mace stands up and grabs the shield from Cross, throwing it through the ropes and to the ring floor. Josh runs over to it and picks it up. Mace grabs Cross by the hair and pulls him up to his knees. Cross has had time to recover his senses and lays a low blow on Mace that takes the CAL Champion a back.]

[PAGE] LOW BLOW by Cross! This one is going to get nasty before the night is over.

[MCCOY] Did you just say Nasty?

[Cross is back to his feet and not wasting time. He begins to lay punches into Mace. Mace doesn't go down but stands his ground and trades the punches back with Cross. The two men aren't holding back as they lay into one another. Mace hits a kick to Cross's mid section, causing him to double over. Mace grabs him in a headlock and drops back, hitting a DDT on Cross. Mace is back up to his feet and pulls Cross back to his. Cross shoves Mace's hand away and goes for a punch but Mace backs away. Mace uses Cross's momentum to grab him around the waist and hoist him in the air. Mace plants Cross back on the mat with a belly to back suplex that makes the ring shake.]

[PAGE] Mace is out to destroy Cross here.

[MCCOY] Going to take a lot more then one suplex to put Jack Cross down.

[Mace rolls over to his knees and stands up going right back over to Cross. Mace begins to stomp away and kick the challenger still on the mat. Cross manages to grab ahold of Mace's boot and pulls it out from under the champions weight. Mace falls back to the mat but quickly gets up but Cross is up as well.]

[PAGE] Desperation move there.

[Mace and Cross lock up in a collar and elbow tie up. Mace uses his size and weight to push Cross to the ropes where he Irish whips him across the ring. Mace goes for a big boot but Cross slides underneath and back up.]

[MCCOY] And a Dropkick by Cross right into Mace as he turns around.

[PAGE] Not enough to get the big man off of his feet though. Mace just took a couple of steps back.

[Cross jumps up from his dropkick and runs at Mace for a lariat. Mace ducks the lariat and runs into the ropes, bounces back into the air with a Flying forearm smash against Cross's head. Cross lands on the mat hard as Mace gets up. Mace looks around the ring finding what he wants in Cross's Kendo Stick. Mace picks it up and heads over to Cross, who is up to his hands and knees. Mace lays a hard shot on Mace's back that causes the challenger to wince in pain.]

[PAGE] MY GOD, Mace just used Cross's own kendo stick against him. What a shot from the CAL Champ!

[MCCOY] That just isn't right. He should have brought his own weapon instead of stealing Jack's.

[Mace lays another hard shot to Cross with the kendo stick. Cross falls back to the mat with the shot. The crowd is screaming loudly as Mace throws the stick back across the ring and grabs Cross up. Mace measures and delivers a hard European Uppercut to Cross. Mace whips him into ropes and moves up. Cross runs from the ropes into Mace's waiting form. Mace bends and picks Cross up, flipping him into the air with a back body drop. Mace turns and waits on Cross to get up. As Cross stands, Mace grabs him and starts to pull his arms up.]

[PAGE] He is setting up the BRONX BUSTER. He is trying to end this one now!

[MCCOY] COME ONE JACK. GET OUT OF IT!

[ Cross gets his arms free and grabs Mace into a double leg takedown. Mace hits the mat hard as Cross drops and Elbow onto Mace's left knee. Cross is back up and drops another one quickly.]

[MCCOY] Never a doubt!

[Cross sticks his leg between Mace's and crosses them, flipping the champion over into a sharpshooter. Mace writhes in pain as Cross sits back on it. Mace quickly uses his upperbody strength to get to the ropes. Stevens begins to count for Jack Cross to let the move go.]

[STEVENS] ONE...

TWO...

THREE...

[Jack Cross lets go and turns, hitting Mace several times in the face with kicks as he was still holding the ropes. Jerry Stevens grabs him and pulls him away. Stevens points into Cross's face about not letting up while Mace was in the ropes. Cross moves out of Steven's way as Mace has gotten back to his feet, favoring his right knee. Cross goes for a punch as Mace returns one of his own. Cross grabs Mace and Irish whips him into the ropes. Cross gets in front of Jerry Stevens as Mace hits the ropes. A loud clang can be heard as Josh nails Mace's back with Cross's shield. Mace takes a step off of the ropes, holding his back. Jack Cross runs and lays Mace down with a hard lariat.]

[PAGE] That was just plain cheating as Cross's manager used that shield against Mace as the Steven's view was blocked.

[MCCOY] I didn't see anything. Cross is going high risk right now to try and put this one fully in his hands.

[Jack Cross jumps on the top turnbuckle and jumps backwards in the air. Cross lands on Mace with a moonsault, hooking the his leg as he lays there. Stevens is across the ring and slides into position.]

[STEVENS] ONE...

TW..

[Stevens doesn't get two full down before Cross is thrown up in the air.]

[PAGE] A lot more has to be done if Cross wants to keep Mace out of this one. That was a kickout with Authority, pardon the pun.

[MCCOY] Can I not go one night without hearing that word!

[Cross is back up as Mace has made it to his feet. Mace goes to attack Cross but as he takes a step, Josh grabs his foot out from under him causing Mace to hit the mat hard again. Mace turns and looks at Josh who has moved away to put distance from him and the CAL Champion.]

[PAGE] Again, Peterman has interfered in this match.

[MCCOY] I still don't know what you are talking about.

[The Crowd stops booing to start cheering loudly. The cameras see a figure run down the ramp and the fans are going crazy. "Devil's Own" Alex Constantine comes down to ring side and heads to Peterman. Stevens steps out of the ring and stops the Devil's Own from going any further, telling him to leave. Alex throws his hands up as he agrees but points to Peterman on the other side of the ring. ]

[MCCOY] He has no business here in this match. He has his own problems to worry about later on with his Heavyweight title match.

[PAGE] I think that Alex is here to level the playing field and Stevens is going to allow him to stay here as long as he doesn't get involved in the match.

[MCCOY] Like an Authority member can stop from cheating.

[Cross takes full advantage of Stevens out of the ring and begins to kick Mace hard in the head. Cross grabs up his kendo stick and begins to level Mace on the back with multiple shots. Mace winces in pain with each strike that raises welts on his back. Cross jumps on Mace's back and begins to choke the champ with the kendo stick across his neck. Mace is trying to get the stick from his throat as he kicks his legs. Stevens turns around and sees what is happening, jumping in the ring and begins to count. Alex goes to Mace's corner and leans against the mat and watches the ring.]

[STEVENS] ONE...

TWO...

THREE...

FOUR...

FI..

[Just as Stevens was at five, Cross broke the choke and stands up. Cross goes to the other turnbuckle and climbs onto the top rope. He waits for Mace to stand up. As Mace stands up, he is weakened and dazed from the choke. Cross launches himself into the air with a missle dropkick. Mace sees it and moves out of the way causing Cross to land hard on the mat. Mace is on his knee rubbing his throat and still catching his breath as Cross is slow to get up.]

[PAGE] Mace saw that coming and got out of the way just in time.

[MCCOY] Desperation if you ask me! Cross has this one won no matter what!

[Mace and Cross go at each other with Mace slipping behind Jack Cross. Mace wraps his massive arms around Cross and hoists him in the air with German Suplex. Cross almost bounces off of the mat as he lands. Mace doesn't let go though as he rolls Cross back over and picks him back up, executing another German Suplex on Cross. The crowd goes wild as Mace stands up, looking at Jack Cross starting to move on the mat. ]

[PAGE] Mace is back in control with those rolling German suplex's!

[Mace grabs Cross up and locks his arms, lifting him in the air and planting him into the mat with the Bronx Buster. Stevens slides into position as Mace rolls Jack Cross over and pins him.]

[PAGE] BRONX BUSTER! BRONX BUSTER! This is over.

[STEVENS] One...

Two...

KICKOUT!!!!!

{MCCOY] It is going to take more then a pitiful move like that to finish off Jack!

[Cross kicks out as Mace looks somewhat stunned. Mace stands up and grabs Cross up with him. Mace whips Cross into the corner with all the power he has causing the challenger to flip in the air upside down and into a tree of woe. Mace runs across the ring as Cross is stuck with his foot locked under the turnbuckle. Mace does a baseball slide into the corner, hitting Jack Cross in the head with a dropkick. The force makes Jack's foot come loose and he falls to the mat. Mace grabs Jack up in the air with a firemans carry, turning him and dropping him onto the mat with a pancake. The ring thuds with the delivery as the fans are still screaming and yelling for Mace. Alex is leading the crowd with a Mace chant from the corner. Mace rolls Cross over again and goes for the pin.]

[PAGE] MACE is in charge of this one and goes for the cover.

[STEVENS] ONE...

TWO...

KICKOUT!!!!

[MCCOY] DAMN RIGHT! Mace is not going to put Cross away with those cheating tatics.

[Mace gets back up and grabs Cross by the hair. Cross is up to his feet and goes for a kick, his sense rattled. Mace grabs him in and flips him in the air with a capture suplex as the crowd goes crazy. Mace stands up and measures Cross before kicking him hard in the chest. Cross refuses to stay down though as he tries to get up. Mace grabs Cross back up to his feet and Irish Whips him into the ropes. Cross bounces back and grabs Mace around the neck as he was going for a lou Thesz press, hitting a running reverse bulldog.]

[MCCOY] That was the Hate Wave! Jack just hit the Heat Weave before Mace could get up for the Thesz press.

[PAGE] Cross is a fighter and he caught Mace off guard on that one!

[MCCOY] OF COURSE he did. What else do you expect from a member of the Darkness!

[Cross is back up as Mace shakes his head, getting his sense back together. Cross grabs Mace up and launches him into the corner with all his power. Mace runs and turns hitting the turnbuckle hard. Cross is across the ring, leaping in the air with an avalanche on Mace. Cross holds where he is by wrapping his arm around Mace's neck and uses the second ropes to bounce back with a jumping DDT. The crowd is booing loudly as McCoy is beside himself.]

[MCCOY] Now he hits the Disillusionment. Cross is taking this one into his hands now.

[PAGE] I have to actually agree with you as Mace is trying to shake out the cobwebs. Mace better watch out though because Cross is going for the kendo stick again.

[Jack Cross walks across the ring and picks his kendo stick back up. He measures as Mace is getting up to his feet. Mace turns and is met with a hard shot straight to the forehead. Mace moves backwards as Cross pulls back and nails another hard shot against Mace's ribs. Mace doubles over as Cross twists and nails him across the face causing Mace to fall back to the mat. He is cut open on the forehead as blood starts to move down Mace's face.]

[PAGE] And there is the first blood of the match as Mace is cut open from that shot.

[MCCOY] Ain't it great!!!!

[Cross hauls Mace back up and whips him into the ropes. Cross turns and starts yelling at Jerry Stevens as Mace hits the ropes. Josh Peterman once again grabs Mace's leg and causes him to hit the mat face first. Josh looks pleased with himself as Alex starts to move around the ring.]

[PAGE] Peterman once again putting himself into the match. He just better watch out.

[MCCOY] Mace better watch out becuase Peterman just slid that shield back into the ring.

[Peterman looks proud as he turns around to see Alex Constantine right beside him. Alex hauls off and nails Peterman with a hard right hand that sends the manager down to the ground and out cold. Alex smiles as the crowd cheers loudly. Alex moves back to Mace's corner and leans in watching the match.]

[MCCOY] That damn cheater needs to be sent to the back.

[PAGE] He was just making sure that this match stays one on one here.

[Cross goes over and hauls Mace up. He lifts the larger man up and drops him on his leg with a backbreaker. Mace is bleeding badly from the cut on his forehead as Cross grabs Mace up again. Cross lifts him up with his leg locked, droping him back with a fisherman suplex. Stevens runs over and begins to count as Cross makes the cover with Mace's leg hooked.]

[STEVENS] ONE...

TWO...

TH...KICKOUT!!!!!

[MCCOY] Why won't this idiot just give up? Save himself the humiliation!

[PAGE] That just isn't Mace's way as he kicks out again. He is starting to bleed badly though and can't keep taking this kind of abuse.

[Cross grabs Mace by the hair and pulls him across the ring, lifting him up to his feet with one hand and the shield in the other. Cross sets Mace up and goes for a baseball swing with the shield. Cross swings but Mace ducks, spearing Cross in the chest and down to the mat. Mace jumps up, reaching for the CAL Heavyweight title that was still in the ring. Mace grabs it and turns swinging, nailing Cross on the face before he could swing the shield. Cross falls to the mat hard as Mace falls, hitting Cross again across the face with the belt.]

[MCCOY] Come on Ref. Get Mace off of him.

[PAGE] CROSS IS CUT OPEN. MACE has cut Cross open on his face..

[MCCOY] The nerve of Mace to do that to the new CAL champ.

[Mace stands up and begins to swing the belt down, whipping Cross across the chest with the heavy gold belt. Cross writhes in pain with each shot that Mace whips down. Mace is repeatedly striking Cross with power and abandon causing large welts to rise up almost instantly on Cross's chest as it tears at Cross's T-shirt.]

[MCCOY] Stevens, stand up and stop that travesty that is happening. My GOD, He has cut open Cross's Chest.

[PAGE] The snaps on that belt have shredded Jack Cross's shirt and given him two deep cuts on the chest as he is already bleeding badly from the cut on his face. This is really turning violent.

[MCCOY] Glad you could figure that out by yourself. Someone stop this now before that Authority cheater keeps this up.

[Mace puts the belt down and snatches the shield up from the mat. Mace sets the shield down on the mat next to him and lifts Cross up by the hair. Blood is pouring off both men as Mace rips the rest of Jack's shirt off. Mace picks Cross up in the air and puts him in a body press. He turns him 3/4 into a neck breaker right on the shield in the center of the ring. Mace rolls on top of Cross for the pin as Stevens slides across the ring. The crowd is going crazy as Alex is leading them.]

[PAGE] DEFIANCE! DEFIANCE! Mace just hit the Defiance on the shield and there is the count.

[MCCOY] For the love of god, get up Cross!

[STEVENS] ONE....

TWO....

THR...KICKOUT!!!

[MCCOY] HALLEJUAH! CROSS KICKS OUT

[PAGE] And Mace can't believe it. Jack Cross just kicked out of the Defiance.

[Mace sits up looking shocked. Alex is pounding on the mat to get Mace going and the crowd. Mace gets up and pulls Cross into the corner. Mace picks up Jack Cross and sets him on the turnbuckle. The crowd is up as they see Mace setting Cross up for his own move, the Crossroads. Cross suddenly fights back and reverses things falling backwards with Mace wrapped up for the reverse DDT.]

[PAGE] Mace went to hit Cross with his own move, the Crossroads, but Cross reversed things hitting it himself. He is going for the cover to end it now.

[MCCOY] THREE it is over, give that man the title.

[Stevens slides into position and begins to count.]

[STEVENS] ONE...

TWO...

THRE....KICKOUT!!!!!

[PAGE] MACE isn't going easy either as the two men are near exhaustion.

[MCCOY] I want a recount. That should have been three!

[Mace and Cross are wearily stading up. Both men are bathed in blood as they start exchanging blows left and right. Neither man is refusing to give an inch as they connect with closed fists to their faces.]

[PAGE] Neither man is giving up here as they keep trading punches. This is still either man's match.

[MCCOY] Wrong, this is Jack Cross's match and he is going to put Mace away!

[Mace ducks a punch and spins Cross around, grabbing him and hitting a reverse DDT on Cross sending him to the mat. Mace walks over and grabs the shield up and pulls it to the corner. Mace, staggering as he stands there, his face crimson from the blood pouring from the cut.]

[Mace picks Cross back up in the air and sits him on the top turnbuckle. Mace climbs up the rops and grabs Cross around the neck, lifting him up in the air. Cross pushes off the turnbuckle and keeps going though as Mace falls backwards towards the ring mat and shield. Cross uses the momentum to carry him over, locking Mace's head under his arm and slamming him down onto the shield. Both men lie there as Cross has Mace covered.]

[PAGE] My god, I think both men are out. Mace tried for the Crossroads onto the shield but Cross flipped in the air nailing Mace instead.

[MCCOY] STEVENSl, count dammit!

[STEVENS] ONE....

TWO...

THREE!!!!!!!!!

[Mace kicks out but it is too late as Stevens hand has hit the mat. THe crowd erupts in boos and cheers throughout the arena. Alex throws his arms up in the air and to his head as "Cultural Revolution" by Black Flag starts screaming across the P.A.]

[MCCOY] CROSS WINS!!! CROSS WINS!!!! JACK CROSS IS THE NEW CAL CHAMPION!!!!

[PAGE]: He earned it too as Mace took almost everything he had. In the end, Jack just barely took it from him.

[MCCOY] Whatever helps you sleep better at night. BUT CROSS WINS!!!

[DIAMOND LOU] WINNER AND NEW CAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION...JACK CCCCRRROOOSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[Jerry Stevens walks over and grabs the CAL heavyweight championship belt up and hands it to Cross. He is covered in blood and barely able to stand as he grabs it and from Stevens, holding it over his head. He slides under the ring and heads around the ring where Josh Peterman helps hold him as he holds his own head from the blow from Alex.]

[Alex slides into the ring to check on Mace as he lays there in disbelief.]

[MCCOY] I can die a happy man. CROSS WINS!

[PAGE] We break to this history of "Devil's Own" Alex Constantine here in the CSWA as McCoy settles down and we get ready for our next match.

[The screen starts to fade but comes back to life to show a shot of Robert Marshall sitting in a high backed leather chair. He has a large grin on his face and a bottle of water in his left hand. Behind him is a sign that reads "CONGRATS JACK CROSS". To the left of the chair stands Ripper Longshanks his arms crossed and a sick smile on his face. Ripper still shows the effects of the battle with the Fury but the look of satisfaction on his face is apparent. A shadowy figure walks beside Marshall and whispers in his ear. The grin quickly fades from Marshall's face and he jumps to his feet and disappears. The figure looks at Ripper and the two men break into laughter. A moment later Loki appears on camera and sits down in the chair. He grins at the camera and says....]

[LOKI]: These are indeed dark times.................
