EBW Forever Night 1, Part 3

Extreme Bishoujo Wrestling: Episode twenty-six.

The Final Pay-Per-View: EBW Forever: Night One!

The cameras fade in on one of the locker rooms, where Sailor Saturn is talking on a cell phone, keeping a close eye on the television in the rear of the room.

Konata: Welcome back to EBW Forever: Night One...

Saturn: Yes, Miss Gracia gave me the stipulations for our Ultimate Jeopardy match earlier tonight, Miss Fudou.  It turns out the single punishments only apply if you're the one who gets pinned or submits.  If it's me, I have to disband the Outer Senshi... if it's you, you'll have to shave all your hair off.  Lain would have to delete all traces of herself from all social media, and The Major would have to resign from Section 9.  As for Hell Correspondence, Asuka would have to go back to NERV, Panty would have to go to sex rehab, Stocking would have to give up sugar and Hell Girl... she'd have to stop collecting souls.  So, I'm not trying to be bossy or anything, but I really think we could concentrate on pinning Hell Girl.  Alright?  Okay, thanks.  Goodbye.

Saturn turns off her phone and slides it back into her pocket, but turns around suddenly as she hears something rustling in the darkness... indeed, Hell Girl emerges from the shadows, looking over at Saturn.

Hell Girl: The bad blood between you and I started long ago, Hotaru, but even I didn't think we'd end up taking it all the way to the end of the world.  You've got a lifetime of potential... don't throw it away.

Saturn: No... this is the kind of thing I was destined to do.  Somebody's got to stop you, Hell Girl, and not only is Team Saturn going to stop you from taking the soul of Extreme Bishoujo Wrestling, but your whole operation's going to be stopped for good.

Hell Girl: I guess I should be insulted by you claiming I'm evil.  But it pales in comparison to the millions of things I've been called by the people I've ferried to hell.  Have it your way.

Saturn keeps a close eye on Hell Girl as she passes her by, leaving the locker room.  Saturn leaves the locker room herself, and the camera follows her out to the left hallway.  There's no sign of Hell Girl, but Asuka Langley Soryu is standing right outside the doorway with a steel chair in hand.  The second Saturn steps out, Asuka clocks her in the head, sending her crumpling in a heap on the floor.

Konata: Sadly, this is the kind of thing we've come to expect from Asuka.

Asuka: I still haven't forgiven you for what you did at Session 13.  The Heart of Japan was rightfully mine!  So what if I stole it from Osaka, you stole it from me, and that's unforgivable.

Asuka tosses the steel chair on Saturn's unconscious body as the camera cuts to the ring area, where Ukyo is carrying her okonomiyaki cart down the entrance ramp.

Konata: Something tells me that Asuka's taking the Ultimate Jeopardy match for the soul of EBW a lot more personally thank Hell Girl is.  Up next, before tonight's main event... FLCL vs. Uranus & Neptune vs. Di Gi Charat for the Tag Team trophy... is Ukyo Kuonji trying to get payback for everything that's happened by taking on Princess Ayeka in a match sanctioned by Those Who Decide Such Things.  But that's not gonna be possible if she ends up taking on the whole Jurian army.

Ukyo sets her wooden okonomiyaki cart next to the ring, taking off her giant spatula and holding it at the ready.  As she stands there, nervously watching, Princess Ayeka emerges with a microphone in hand.  She makes her entrance... and is shortly followed by Sailor Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.  After them, follow five female Jurain royal guards decked out in full armor.

Konata:  I don't see Sailor Moon out here... Ayeka probably doesn't want to chance anything happening to her chosen Full Moon champion.

Princess Ayeka stands with a grin as the Inner Senshi slowly march towards Ukyo.  The guards stay hovering around Princess Ayeka as the lights start to flicker, then fade and cut off completely.  The lights slowly come back on and standing in the ring, to everyone's surprise, are Those Who Decide Such Things.  The three look out at the groupings on the outside, the smallest one holding the microphone.

Konata: No offense to Those Who Decide Such Things, but this has been going on long enough.  Maybe we'll finally get some answers.

Smallest: Ayeka... this has gone long enough.  We put all our trust in you from the beginning.  And after Session 13, we thought you'd seen the light.  But all you did was just blatantly manipulate everyone so that you got your way.  After Strictly Hardcore, you didn't even bother to hide it or give anyone else a chance.  We can't allow this to happen, Ayeka.  Inner Senshi... we outrank Princess Ayeka.  And we've agreed that if you don't leave the arena right this minute, that you're all going to be fired.  Meaning you won't be able to help your friend Sailor Moon defend her title against Lina Inverse.  Alright?

The Inner Senshi look nervously up at Princess Ayeka, who waves them off.  They leave through the audience as Ayeka locks eyes with Those in the ring.

Ayeka: Very well.  But as princess of the planet of Jurai, I command this contingency of the royal guard.  Nothing you say can make them leave.  And you dare claim I'm manipulative?  Aren't the three of you running the show in the first place?

Smallest: We tried to run the show from behind the scenes.  On my end, this was all about fun.  It all started when I couldn't sleep one night; so I fixed myself a snack, got online and looked for some anime to watch.  I was just kind of shocked by how many there was, how many different worlds there were.  So I got with a roommate of mine who said that not only did all of these worlds exist, but she knew how I could visit all of them.  That led to a big game of 'what if'... that's what Extreme Bishoujo Wrestling started out as, a big game of 'what if'.  But eventually, all these people from these different worlds, these different existences, stopped being entertainment and started being real, living beings to me.  Friends and enemies, real emotions.  So shortly before the first Pay-Per-View, I decided I needed to get some help running this place, help understanding who these people are.  So I recruited two other women, and we became Those Who Decide Such Things.  One of them was here to help me on the athletic side of the business... someone who knew a lot about sports and athletics, as well about the cute stuff that a lot of anime involves.

The smallest of Those motions to the middle-sized one, and the middle-sized one removes her mask... it's Miss Sakaki.

Konata: Sakaki?  That's one of Osaka's classmates!  We actually saw her face during that Lumberjack match at the All-Hardcore Supershow, but I had no idea she was one of Those.

Smallest: And when I looked at the potential problems that EBW might have, I also wanted to recruit someone who knew about evil... someone who knows about the problems that the bishoujo might face, what they might end up becoming.

The smallest of Those motions to the largest one, who removes her own mask... it's Queen Beryl.

Konata: Sailor Moon's biggest and oldest enemy, Queen Beryl!  You want to talk about evil...

The smallest of Those stops talking as Princess Ayeka starts making her way towards the ring itself, the female Jurian guard following behind her.

Ayeka: This little storytime is all well and good, but you seem to forget something.  Regardless of what dimensions everyone might be hopping around from, I'm still the princess of Jurai, and the heir apparent to the Moon Kingdom and Neo-Tokyo.  I control the past, present and future, and what I don't have to do is listen to you.  And I certainly don't have to waste my time wrestling some little okonomiyaki flipper from the ghetto.  Nobody can call off the Jurian guards except for one of Jurian blood.  So whatever weight you're thinking about throwing around, it's useless beside someone of true power, of true royalty.  That's why I made Sailor Moon the champion, because royalty supersedes everything.  And when she defends her title next week on the second half of our final show, she'll be in my pocket for good.  The Jurian empire will keep expanding through the stars, and thanks to you, through other dimensions as well.  Dimensions that will come under the Jurian Empire's control.  And nobody... nobody... will stand in my way.

Two of the Jurian female guard start assaulting Ukyo as Ayeka tosses her microphone aside and rolls into the ring, the other three guard following her in.  Sakaki runs in to defend the smallest of Those, but the three guards take her out, pummeling her violently.  Queen Beryl simply stands back, watching with a sickening grin.  The smallest of Those drops her mic as Princess Ayeka violently slaps her across her masked face.  This knocks her to the ground, where Ayeka mounts her torso and begins violently punching the smallest of Those again and again with a cruel, bloody Ground 'n' Pound.

Konata: This is horrifying.  Ayeka's dream of being the ultimate conqueror has shattered the dreams of so many, and now it seems like even Those Who Decide Such Things can't stop it.

Ayeka violently pummels the smallest as Queen Beryl picks up the microphone, looking over at Ayeka with a sadistic smirk.

Beryl: Before you completely destroy the third member of Those Who Decide Such Things, Ayeka, I think it'd be a pretty good idea to take off her mask and expose who she is to the world.

Ayeka glances up from the smallest's unconscious body up to Beryl.  She seems to detect a trick, but curiosity seems to get the best of her as she removes the mask, and stares down in absolute horror... the smallest of Those Who Decide Such Things, the one Ayeka had just beaten to a pulp, was Sasami.

Konata: Sasami... Ayeka's own baby sister...

Ayeka slowly stands up, staring at her sister in shock.  The guards stare as well, leaving Sakaki and Ukyo and all gathering around the two princesses in the ring.

Beryl: Well... what the hell are you waiting for?  You're the elite Jurian guard, right?  This woman just tried to kill a Jurian princess.  Do your job, slime.

The Jurian guards hurriedly surround Ayeka, who can't take her eyes off of an unconscious Sasami.  The guards begin to drag a stunned Ayeka out of the ring and get half-way up the ramp before Miss Sakaki takes the microphone from Queen Beryl.

Sakaki: You know... there still has to be a match between Ukyo and Ayeka.  We did advertise it.  We were going to reveal our identities next week, but now that that's already been done, I think we can reschedule it for next week.  We don't want to cheat the fans or anything.

Sakaki blushes, obviously not comfortable with public speaking as she helps a dazed Sasami to her feet, holding the microphone close enough to Sasami's mouth so that she can speak into it.

Sasami: When... when I hired you as the owner, and make Ryoko a wrestler... I thought it'd give you two a chance to work out your differences.  I hated you two fighting all the time.  Even Tenchi was getting sick of it.  That's why he was okay with me and Washu messing with the fabric of space and time to do this.  But... but since the disasters that happened here in Japan months ago, Washu said the fabric between the dimensions was really weak now... that's why we had to end this next week... I thought this would be a last chance to make you understand.  I just wanted everyone to have fun and be happy... I never wanted this... I love you big sister...

Ayeka's eyes start to fill with tears as the Jurian royal guard haul her up the entrance ramp and through the curtain.  Ukyo rolls into the ring to help Sakaki assess the damage as Queen Beryl watches with a sadistic grin.  The camera cuts to the backstage area, where the guards are trying to hurry her though... but the door to the old General Manager's office opens and Ryoko and Osaka emerge, staring at Ayeka.

Ayeka: I can assure you Ryoko, nothing you could say right now would cut me any worse.

Ryoko: Well, I'm sure as hell going to try.  You know, deep down in a place inside me I don't like to admit I have, I had a little respect for you.  That train just left town.

Osaka: That's your sister, Princess Ayeka!  Sisters are supposed to protect each other and take care of each other, not beat each other up!

Ayeka: I swear on the Jurian royal lineage, I had no idea that...

Ryoko: Shut your mouth, bitch.  If there's anything you can do for any of us right now, it's shut your goddamned mouth.

Konata: Final break of the night... we'll be right back with the TLC match for the Tag Team trophy...

Osaka sighs and walks back into the old General Manager's office as Ryoko watches the guards haul Ayeka away, presumably out of the building as the show cuts to the final break.
