PAULA SHOCK VS ZIMA'ION VAS QUASANA
15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT
The match kicked off with Paula mounting an offense that found itself quickly shut down by a back elbow followed by a series of chain grapples that end with Paula on the canvas in a rear naked choke. Paula fights valiantly in the hold, trying everything to get out of it, including lifting her legs to press both of Zima's shoulders down. The hold is only broken in that instance as Zima was forced to kick out before the pin would count. Both women quickly get to their feet and in a shocking twist, Paula lands the SHOCKIN' FIST and nearly scores a three count on Zima, who barely manages to kick out from the devastating right jab.
Paula's dominance shortly after would be short lived as an Irish whip sends Zima off into the ropes. The Quarian(?) returned with THE BIOTIC VORTEX, drilling Paula to the canvas and promptly afterwards, she locked on GETH REWIRING. Paula promptly tapped out from there.
WINNER: ZIMA'ION VAS QUASANA BY SUBMISSION AT 6 minutes and 5 seconds!

MARIA SALVATORE VS JAZMINE KARDOS
15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT
A distraction from Maria's manager, Maleek, saw her gain the upper hand early on with Jazmine Kardos, catching her in the back of the head with a spinning heel kick. From there, Maria dominated Jazmine with a surprisingly brutal onslaught of strikes that ended with her battering Jazmine down in the corner. A foot choke would end in a count from the ref and Maria's ire being drawn by the referee's interference of her fun! She'd return on the attack by find herself quickly shut down by Jazmine's hand around her throat!
A uranage slam later signaled pure domination by Jazmine as she slammed, suplexed, and hurled the smaller, lighter Maria all about the ring. A pinfall would find itself interrupted by Maleek, who immediately drew the referee out and started and argument on the apron. Jazmine would leap off of Maria to forearm him off the apron to the floor. This is promptly followed by Maria rolling Jazmine up from behind with a school girl pin! Jazmine broke free with a backroll and a spinning roundhouse that caught Maria unprepared, followed by a STANDING MOONSAULT that netted her a two count.
Jazmine fired Maria off into the corner and came running, only for Maria to hit a double boot to Jazmine's chest, then hop up to the top and hit a diving TORNADO DDT! A two and a half count was her reward. She then set Jaz up for the Killswitch only to be reversed and locked up in the JWD!!!! Maria found herself being choked out and just as she started to pass out, she saved herself by tapping out!
WINNER: JAZMINE KARDOSE BY SUBMISSION AT 13 minutes and 45 seconds

ZENNA ZDUNICH VS MOXIE JILLETTE
15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT
Zenna and Moxie's styles were such a contrast off the start. The pure technician had a hard time figuring out the adrenaline junkie's steps as Zenna kept in constant motion, bounding back and forth with hit on the run tactics until a springboard clothesline allowed Moxie to catch an arm and drag Zenna to the canvas in a hurry where it became Moxie's game! She'd wrench and twist that arm any which way and just as it seems Zenna is about to escape, the magician's daughter would have her back down with a variation on the hold. It's only when the crowd began to get restless that Moxie changed the came up and allowed Zenna to get to her feet, only while still holding the arm. A sharp kick to the ribs kept Zenna from acting too quickly as Moxie hits the ALAKAZAM KICK and attempts a quick pinfall, only to get a two count.
Moxie continued her domination from there, hitting an STO slam followed by BUNNY HOP Diving Stomp! Zenna proved tougher and kicked out despite nearly retching her guts out. As Moxie scoops her up in the Niagra Driver, Zenna slips free behind her and hits THE FAMILY TRADITION, promptly followed by THE Z-SAULT, but Moxie kicks out of the pin attempt. Zenna then lifts her up for the Glam Slam but this time Moxie reverses into a Victory Sunset pin, only for Zenna to kick out with a double foot ear clap and back roll!
At this point the fans were on their feet and cheering hard for the two competitors as they've gone hold for hold and toe to toe. Zenna goes for the ropes as Moxie sets up. Duck with a leap frog, drop with a running leap. Zenna ducks a big boot from Moxie, hooks her arms while she's off balance and BAMMO! FATAL KISS AND THE PIN! 1-2-3!
WINNER: ZENNA ZDUNICH BY PINFALL AT 14 Minutes and 20 seconds!
#HEAR ME NNNNOOOOOWWW!!!
To the blaring assault of Machine Head's "Imperium," Out steps Ursula Von Rossbach still sporting marks from her fight against Juliet Black on her face. She's dressed in her black suit, long blond hair hanging freely on her shoulders, neatly styled and straight. She wears her signature wrap around black shades and in her hand, carries a microphone. Ursula carries herself with a fast paced stride to the ring, climbing the steps and slipping inside. There she brings the microphone to her lips and addresses the crowd.
UVR: I have been many things in my time in this competitive industry; Tyrant, enforcer for hire, and even a convicted criminal at one point. The one thing I had never been and had at one time given up on, was a champion. I convinced myself I didn't need or want it. My litany of broken bodies and victories in the ring were more than enough to satisfy my need for glory. Then, it happened.
Ursula starts to pace the ring, eyes scanning the crowd around her.
UVR: I defeated six other top competitors despite their best efforts to take me out and became GWW's Cosmic Champion. Since then, however, I have found myself in the decline. Having never been a champion, I knew not how to conduct myself as one. I did not push myself as hard and as a result, I fell in my first defense. Now I have a shot to course correct at Star Crash coming the 30th of this month in a rematch against Zoey Madigan-Star.
The crowd pops at the mention of her name.
UVR: She gets not the lazy, complacent creature she faced at Battle Beyond the Stars but instead, the monster who dominated this ring for month after month, who had earned the fear and respect of every single woman in that locker room. The woman who broke Rebecca Lawson and sent her mangled body out of our arena, never to return! The Beast who doesn't merely have a list of accomplishments but instead a Resume of Destruction that spans over a decade with numerous bodies broken to my credit.
Her jaw sets, fist tightening around the microphone.
UVR: After Star Crash, I wipe away the shame and I WILL reclaim my title as GWW Cosmic Champion.
With a flex of her hand, suddenly there's a loud pop over the speakers as the microphone completely snaps in her grip. The static crackle and whine only lasts for a second as she lets the pieces fall to the canvas. Turning, UVR then exits the ring and heads straight to the back with the crowd cheering her on!

CONQUEST CHAMPIONSHIP SHOT AT STAR CRASH
RIVER CHANCE VS JUNE SONG
NO LIMIT
With a distraction from a fan outside the ring, River Chance found herself on the receiving end of an all out assault by June Song. With the bell ring's echo still int he air, June drives River through the ropes and with a well placed gut kick, sends her to the floor stumbling. She then makes a running leap for the outside, tackling with a Suicide Crossbody Dive, but River remains standing, firmly gripping her opponent with both hands. Getting a running start, River rams June into the ring apron, then hurls June up and over with a Fallaway Slam that sends her right into the guard rail!
River lifts her up for another slam but June reverses with a CORKSCREW NECKBREAKER! She rolls River back into the ring and makes a pin attempt, only getting a two count. She gathers River up, setting her up perfectly for her Jumping Cutter and in mid leap, just as she latches her hands on to River's head, she's sent sailing across the ring with a hard shove. June gets up, a bit confused, but angry none-the-less and rushes at River. With a flying leap she's caught in those strong arms and violently blasted to the canvas with THE POMMEL STRIKE! On impact, River hooks the leg for the pin and scores the three count!
WINNER: RIVER CHANCE BY PINFALL AT 9 minutes & 13 seconds!

PRE-MATCH SEGMENT
Andrea (voiceover): I started out on the very low end of the totem pole…
Date: January 31, 2017
Andrea, obviously far less experienced at this point, is completely distraught as she leans on the wall in the locker room.
Andrea: DAMN IT!!!
Andrea punches a locker open, clearly venting frustration as she holds the same hand she just used to do so. Tears fill her eyes, clearly indicating how devastated she’s feeling in the moment.
Andrea: That was my last chance to become UWA Cruiserweight Champion… and I lost… and now I have to be at the back of the line while other people have their chance…
Andrea slumps down to the floor, crying some through the overlayered makeup she would put on her face during this point of her career. After losing a championship match, the young Arizona upstart is devastated, as second by second, her confidence collapses.
Andrea: That was my one chance to prove everyone wrong and I blew it… I fucking blew it!!! I don’t know how I am ever going to recover from this…
Andrea continues to soak in the heartbreak of the moment she was experiencing as a voice over of Andrea herself narrates the moment, and the continuing story…
Andrea Hernandez (voice over): I was so hard on myself early on in my career when it felt like I couldn’t catch a break. It wasn’t just losing championship matches in the face of people thinking that I wasn’t going to amount to anything in this business, it was also missing the mark and falling short… again… and again… and letting down your family…
Date: June 2017
Andrea is competing in a battle royal for UWA’s cruiserweight championship. She’s fighting her best, giving it everything she’s got and then some. Eventually, the eight cruiserweights that started the battle royal dwindle down to five. Andrea clotheslines another cruiserweight with such force that she sends the wrestler over the top rope and out… but unfortunately, the force was too much as she too, went over the top rope and onto the floor. After this happens, Andrea sits as her eyes widen in surprise, realizing what just happened…
Andrea: FUCK!!!!!
Other Wrestler: Stupid bitch!!!
Andrea cringes as the wrestler she eliminated along with herself laughs at her.
Andrea Hernandez (voice over): I never gave up… through all the troubled times… I wouldn’t quit...my perseverance would pay off…
This is followed up by various clips of Andrea’s turnaround, starting from her first singles championship victory in GCW 15 months ago with winning her North American Championship, then defeating Axel Veiga for the Paradigm Championship and Bester Freund for the Craze Championship in OCW as well as various clips from some other highlights of her singles run since her career took off. Once this small package finishes, it cuts to Andrea in the locker room.
Andrea: The odds aren’t the greatest against me tonight. It’s not just being the new girl in Galactic Wrestling, it’s also knowing I’m facing a very tough champion who has a sisterhood of Shieldmaidens behind her. I admit, there are some that may feel like I fit the mold to be one, but I prefer to do things on my own because that’s how I’ve done it. But the odds I’ve beaten? Being the first woman in my own family to be a wrestler? Being the first person from my family period making it mainstream? Going from a cruiserweight division flunkie that was seemingly on the verge of wiping out entirely to someone who is pretty much on the cusp of being a world champion? I have done so many incredible things, often times with so little. Tonight? One more thing… becoming the Galactic Wrestling Hardcore Champion!
The fans explode with cheers as Andrea leaves the locker room, cuing for the scene to fade out.

HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
PSYCHO MAGUIRE VS ANDREA HERNANDEZ
HARDCORE MATCH
NO LIMIT
Psycho arrived carrying a baseball bat and Andrea held in one hand a kendo stick and the other, a steel chair which she sat down beside her, opting for the weapon with more finess. The bell would ring and the two found themselves fencing with the weapon, though the Kendo stick did not fair well against the bat, promptly snapping after absorbing a few hits. A kick to the gut would keep Psycho from a skull caving followup and a sitout facebuster would end up dropping her, the baseball bat falling out of her hand and rolling out of the ring!
Psycho didn't stay down long and as she got back to her feet she was greeted by a running TILT-O-WHIRL HEADSCISSOR takedown that would have her rolling out of the ring on impact! As she got back to her feet with a stagger, she finds her baseball bat. At that point Andrea leaps through the ropes with a suicide dive and is met with a surprise baseball bat swing to the gut practically swatting her out of the air and doing serious damage! She hits the floor with a croaking cough in absolute agony.
Meanwhile the Champion walks around her, twirling her bat as if she were Negan from the Walking dead. She brings the ball bat down on Andrea's lower back, the woman letting out a loud wail of pain. She then golf swings the weapon into her gut yet again, leaving Andrea coughing and gasping for air. Then as Psycho makes the finishing blow, suddenly she feels Andrea's calves hook around her legs and she's swept off her feet for a hard landing on the floor, her bat flying out of her hands!
Andrea pulls herself onto the apron and rolls back into the ring, limping with pain as the Champion recovers outside. Psycho gathers a steel chair up from the time keeper's table as the challenger gathers her own chair up in the ring and gets to her feet with a wince of pain! Suddenly it becomes quickly apparent that Andrea has the advantage, batting the ropes to drive Psycho back and away each time! This buys Andrea precious recovery time as she keeps the champ at bay for several minutes before finally, Psycho dives through the ropes and rolls to one knee, blocking steel chair with steel chair!
Once again the two were fencing with their weapons, loud clacks heard back and forth as they tried hard to disarm one another. It's in a surprise move that Andrea ditches her chair as Psycho goes for a high swing and flat out punches the Champion square in the nose, busting her open and causing her to drop her chair!
With chairs on either side of Psycho and the woman stunned, Andrea rushes for the ropes, leaps off and hits THE SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT ON PSYCHO, drilling her skull first to the chair! She hooks the leg and 1-2-3! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!
WINNER: AND NEW ENTERPRISE HARDCORE CHAMPION - ANDREA HERNANDEZ BY PINFALL AT 12 minutes & 39 seconds!

BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Cameraman: So… not sure I’m getting this. You challenged one of the most dangerous women on the roster to a Death Match of all things… just to one-up Ursula Von Rossbach? After seeing the war she had with Juliet Black two weeks ago?
The view is pretty distracting; one of Zoey’s long legs raised and set upon the locker room bench while, with one lace wrapped around each hand, she tightens her boot before wrapping and binding the strands in the front center. From there, she draws the lowered kick pad up and the knee pad down, running freed palms along legs sheathed in layers of nylon and fishnets. Looking up after tossing her hair over her shoulder with a simple motion of her head, the Magical Maiden nods and smiles.
Zoey Madigan-Star: Exactly. You get it.
Cameraman: Except I don’t. You’ve got a title defense coming up at Star Crash against Ursula… in a steel cage, no less. Logic dictates that you keep yourself as fresh as possible for that. Ursula getting all brutal in that main event two weeks ago could have been a blessing in disguise.
The cameraman is rather astute and his explanations make Zoey nod and smile a little brighter. She lowers her leg, raises the other to the bench, and repeats the same process as before.
ZMS: So I should rest on my laurels while the challenger and former champion makes statements? It is best that I save myself for Star Crash instead of being out there under the bright lights making this title mean something?
It is not to say that she sounds angry or even annoyed, yet a certain tightness comes to Zoey’s features as she retorts to the cameraman’s postulation. Finishing her current task, the Cosmic Champion picks her title up off the bench and holds it much like a mother would hold a newborn… cradling the gold and leather, gazing on it with love and pride.
ZMS: After working so hard for so long, falling short each and every time, being waylaid by injury and misfortune… I beat the unbeatable, toppled the giant… and earned this.
Lifting the title up, she presses her purple-painted lips to it, leaving a faint imprint.
ZMS: My first singles championship.
Finally the smile comes back to her face.
ZMS: And I knew at that moment that the hard part had just begun. Not just because of the post-match attack, or the claims that I could not have won it without my magic, but because that is a lesson drilled into me by Vincenzo since the day I set foot in his wrestling school.
Unfolding the straps, Zoey drapes the title neatly over her shoulder. Picking up her gloves, she begins to pull them on as the cameraman, considering her words, speaks up again.
Cameraman: So… this is all about not just proving it to everyone else, but to yourself as well?
ZMS: Told you that you’d get it.
She draws her jacket from out of thin air, the title disappearing for a moment as she dons it as well as her top hat… which she tips to the side for a bit of a giggle. Opening the front of the jacket reveals the title around her waist, and her wink seals it.
ZMS: Magic is all well and good, and perhaps I was a bit… liberal with it at Battle Beyond the Stars.
There is a short pause as Zoey tucks her thumbs behind the title belt snugly hugging her waist, her eyes lowering to gaze upon it.
ZMS: ...but there was nothing fancy about beating Ursula in the middle of that ring. There was no trickery involved in successfully defending this belt in that ladder match. And tonight, there will be no shenanigans involved when I step forth and battle Lyra LeVeux-Donavan. I hope, for the sake of everyone looking to challenge me for this title, that the world is watching. Because tonight is where they see just how intense that I can get in that ring.
Cameraman: Is that a warning? It sounds like a warning.
ZMS: Call it a firm yet friendly request. Tonight, the talkers become silent and the doubters turn their doubt upon themselves, questioning all. I will make that happen by defeating the Soulstealer and do it again at Star Crash. And it will be the show of a lifetime.
With a wink, Zoey turns and walks away, swaying down the hallway before moving out of sight.
TORMENT VS MILAYA DIYOSA & NARI CHANG (SATSUJIN TRIAD)
TAG TEAM MATCH
NO LIMIT
Torment entered the match with a fair buzz from the crowd. The duo looked every bit the part of their namesake, especially after the bell rang. Milaya and Nari were immediately on the receiving end of a dual assault with Torment ignoring the Referee altogether. Eventually Milaya would be thrown out of the ring and Heather King would join her outside the ring, keeping the assault going. Nari and Jasmine brawl in the ring, heavy hammering blows, but one shot would stun Nari, allowing Jasmine to hit THE WIDOW BITE! Outside the ring Heather hits a TORANDO DDT on Milaya Diyosa! Jasmine Corinthe makes the pin and the win!
WINNERS: TORMENT BY PINFALL AT 6 minutes and 32 seconds!
WINNERS: TORMENT BY PINFALL AT 6 minutes and 32 seconds!
CRYSTAL ZDUNICH VS KATE STEELE
NO LIMIT
Kate Steel entered the match hot against Crystal Zdunich, who may be vicious in her own right, but was unprepared for the level of violence Kate Steele brought down upon her! From the moment the bell rang, Kate came at Crystal less like a professional and more like a rabid animal, utterly savaging her with elbows, forearms, fists, knees, and wicked kicks, driving her into a corner and pummeling her to a seat! The referee practically had to peel Kate off of Crystal, who then exploded out of the corner in turn and came right back with a flying tackle and a vengeance!
The two were trading blows on the canvas, rolling around until both fell out of the ring and proceeded to brawl on the floor. The oddest part was that none of this was even all that personal, Kate was just in pure savage mode! At one point in the brawl, Crystal threw Kate over the Spanish announce table, sending the announce team packing and how does Kate respond?
She hurls an office chair right at her head, knocking her flat on her back! The Referee immediately called for the bell, disqualifying Kate Steele!
WINNER: CRYSTAL ZDUNICH BY DISQUALIFICATION AT 7 minutes & 44 seconds!

She hurls an office chair right at her head, knocking her flat on her back! The Referee immediately called for the bell, disqualifying Kate Steele!
WINNER: CRYSTAL ZDUNICH BY DISQUALIFICATION AT 7 minutes & 44 seconds!
MAIN EVENT
ZOEY MADIGAN-STAR VS LYRA DONOVAN
BY REQUEST - GALACTIC DEATH MATCH
With Ursula Von Rossbach seated at the announce table. Just as before, the ropes were replaced with barbwire and the ring was both filled and surrounded with a wide variety of weapons! First to enter was the GWW Cosmic Champion, Zoey Star is geared up in a full body studded leather outfit and light half mask that matches the attire. The result was striking to say the least, completed with heavy gauntlets and boots to match. Lyra on the other hand was dressed in the same gear she wore every night. In a move that surprised all but the competitors, the match began with a lock up but as Zoey got technical, the mauler that is Lyra came to play, answering with hard rights and stiff kicks! It quickly became an exchange that Zoey's superior protection allowed for her to gain the upper hand quickly with studded knuckles and hard martial arts kicks drove her foe back!
Lyra fell to avoid a nasty roundhouse kick and as she does so gathers a barbwire wrapped 2x4 and rolls to her feet. Zoey quickly responded by back rolling away over a chair and bringing it up to block the 2x4 shot. In an expert move by Lyra she jabbed the 2x4 down in a way that it slipped through the open fold of the chai rand nailed Zoey right in the forehead, sending her flat on her back as Lyra ripped the weapon away and sent it flying out of the ring! She'd then go on a savage assault with the lumber, Zoey thrashing and rolling trying to get away. Her studded leather outfit provided some protection, but not as much as she'd have liked.
It finally stopped when Zoey rolled out of the ring to avoid any further devastation. As Zoey got to her feet, she's seen rubbing her hands together. Lyra rolled out of the ring in hot pursuit just as Lyra turned and cupped her hands in front of her mouth, blowing out a brilliant fireball! Lyra holds her 2x4 up at the right time and suddenly the weapon begins to smolder before the upper half quickly bursts into flames. Lyra swung the flaming weapon back, driving Zoey back until she bumped into a barbwire wrapped table.
At the speed of thought, Zoey gripped the table and spun around to knock Lyra to the floor with it, sending her new flaming weapon clattering across the floor. Zoey then leaned the table up against the apron and at an angle. Lyra recovered fast and went for a tackle that slam Zoey straight into the guard rail! Again the studded armor protected her and damaged Lyra a bit as she wailed away with body shots. Sure, Zoey felt them, but the it wasn't her knuckles that began to bleed. Zoey fired back with knee strikes to drive Lyra off of her, then spun around and hit several kicks building up to THE SHIMMERSTEP!!!!
Zoey spotted Lyra starting to recover, she quickly gathered up a trash can filled with all sorts of nastiness, ran forward and smashed it into her, spilling several small sharp objects in the process from within. Multiple times, Zoey slammed the trash can down until it was completely bowed in and unwieldly. Tossing it aside, she moves in on Lyra as the woman rose to her hands and knees, straddling her back and locking on a Half Nelson choke! Lyra struggled on the floor, rolling around and embedding a few tacks on the floor into the thick leather of Zoey's armor as well as her own flesh. She jabbed a free thumb into the eye hole of Zoey's mask and forced the hold broken as the champion let out a cry of pain!
The two are separated and as Zoey got to her feet WOLF FANG KICK snapped her head back and sent stumbling back into the angled table she set up earlier! Lyra rushed forward and hurled herself into Zoey with a full body Senton that broke the table beneath her and left them both lying awkwardly in a pile of broken wood and barbwire. Lyra was the first to rise, gathering up Zoey by the back of her mask in the process. She half dragged her stunned foe around the ring. The two get to the announce table where all but Ursula rise from their seats and back off.
Lyra slammed Zoey's head into the table and rolled her on top. Ursula scooted her chair back just a bit, watching intently as Lyra set Zoey up for a Powerbomb, only for Zoey to counter by lifting her up on her back and then violently slamming Zoey through the table with an improvised Alabama Slam reversed out of the head scissor position! Both women lay in the broken heap as Ursula merely smirked at the two.
Zoey rose, finally removing her studded leather top to reveal her standard top underneath it, gathering Lyra up and slinging her back into the ring. The two roll in and Lyra gathered up a steel chair as she fought to get to her feet. Zoey slipped into the ring and turned to see Lyra with the chair raised. Thinking fast she hit a standing dropkick into the chair, driving it into Lyra's face and sending her stumbling back into barbwire ropes! She didn't even flinch as she ripped herself off the barbs and came forth, albeit stumbling and dazed, acting entirely on auto pilot!
This proved to be a bad idea as Zoey cartwheeled straight into a headscissor grapple and dropped Lyra straight on her own dropped chair with SEEING STARS HEADSCISSOR DDT!!!! On impact, she rolled Lyra onto her back for the 1-2-3!!!
WINNER: ZOEY MADIGAN-STAR BY PINFALL AT 23 Minutes and 14 seconds!
Zoey rose from her downed foe, peeling off her mask and raising her fist in the air as her music played. It was at that point that Ursula rose from her seat, applauding the Champion's efforts. Lyra rose, blood trickling down her forehead from the split as well as from numerous points on her body. She'd looked hard at Zoey's back and might've done something if not for the hooded woman that slipped into the ring with a steel chair in hand savagely rocking her right off her feet!
Zoey heard the sound but before she could even turn around to see what happened, she found her self violently rocked right off her feet by a second chair shot. The hooded woman then peeled her hood back to reveal "THE SIREN" KATE STEELE, laughing like a blond maniac!

POST MATCH
Bodies lay strewn about the canvas as if a small battlefield. Kate Steele stands tall over them, steel chair in her hand and looking eager to do more damage. She would have too if not for the sudden presence of Ursula Von Rossbach sliding into the ring behind her. Kate spins and swings for the fences, only for the chair to be sent flying out of her hand by Ursula’s forehead ramming into it with enough force to knock it free. Kate immediately drops and rolls out of the ring, staring on in shock as Ursula leans over the ropes with a menacing glare. Kate is quick to exit ringside, ducking through the curtains before anyone else sees her.
Lyra is back on her feet slowly, looking around for her attacker as she feels the effects of not only the match, but the steel-laden assault. She got the worst of it to be sure, given Kate’s vendetta… hence Zoey rising a bit sooner. Not seeing Kate but Ursula instead, Zoey reacts on a split-second decision and throws herself at Von Rossbach, brawling it out with the Terminator as the fans come alive again! The Star Crash main event threatens to come early as the former and current Cosmic Champion battle it out! Lyra looks between the two, unsure of whether she wants to step in while Ursula, by far the fresher of the two women, starts lowering the boom on the Cosmic Sorceress, soon pounding her down to the mat mercilessly!
The sudden lashing out of her forehead in particular would cause Zoey to initially drop. It would not be so much as a pounding but instead, a spin and a back kick to the side of The Champion’s head that would leave her laid out on the canvas. Ursula merely stares down at her for several seconds before finally looking over to Lyra Donovan.
UVR: Do you wish to suffer a similar fate?
Grabbing a microphone from ringside, Lyra keeps a spot outside the ring, unwilling at this juncture to get in the way of the Terminator.
LLD: No, because I know who started this and I’m saving my energy to rip THEM in half. Thing is, I don’t think Zoey knows herself.
Showing some discretion for once, Lyra starts backing up the ramp, microphone in hand. Zoey, meanwhile, is trying to get to her feet again, but after a rough match and two nasty assaults on her person, the Cosmic Champion is a bit of a mess.
LLD: Translation? This will get worse before it gets better.
Sad as that is, it isn’t Lyra’s business; she drops the mic and heads backstage with thoughts of mauling Kate Steele dancing in her head. Meanwhile, on the big screen, a replay of the assault is shown and, clearly, Zoey did not see Kate coming with that chair. Nor did Lyra for that matter, though she did see the Punk Rocker make her escape. Ursula sees this clearly before turning her unnerving stare on the champion…
Ursula places her hands on her hips, lips pursed with a low growl rumbling through her throat. Turning she slips through the ropes, completely quivering with barely-restrained anger. This is most displeasing and now she found herself eager for Kate Steele’s head. Zoey, on the other hand, is back to her feet now… although she has to lean against the turnbuckles to keep herself even remotely vertical. Handed her championship, the magician soon lays eyes on the same replay… and looks quite mortified at what she sees. The champion and challenger lock eyes as Ursula reaches the top of the ramp.
Stopping at the top of the key, Ursula looks over her shoulder at Zoey. Her expression is a mask of fury as clear as day. A mere nod is given before she turns back and disappears through those curtains.
