The arena lights go out as a haunting theme comes over the PA System. CRUSH the "WORLD" dowN by Daisuke Namikawa begins to play as a red spotlight shines onto the stage, where a tall, dark figure stands.



The figure is Lee Pyro, the younger brother of Chris Pyro. He is wearing a long, form fitting leather coat that goes into strands from the waist down with a red and black design. On the back is an image of a bat. He brushes his long black hair back and begins his walk to the ring, with the Akatsuki coming out with him.
The Akatsuki's attire is different as well. Tenshi and Fuyukai wear a white, form fitting overcoat and white hakama. Akira, now without a mask and with brown hair, wears a similar attire to Tenshi and Fuyukai, but with a red sash around his waist.

Lizzie:
The following match is part of the Knockout Title Tournament, and is going to be contested under Submission Match rules. Coming to the ring first, accompanied by the Akatsuki, from the The Shadows at the edge of your Nightmares. He weighs in tonight a two hundred and forty pounds. He is known as the "Spirit of Death" Lee Pyro!

Lee reaches the ring and walks up the steps, ignoring the negative reaction from the fans, who hate him for what he is doing to Chris Pyro. He walks over to Lizzie, and takes the mic from her.

Lee:
My older brother is a coward. This medical suspension he has is an excuse to hide from me, and the Akatsuki. They went looking for him, and couldn't even find him at his home. I have struck fear into his heart. I know this because when he had his glass tables, last man standing match against Brian Brooks, they nearly killed each other, and still he competed the following Wednesday Night Genesis. So why, after a simple beat down, is he in hiding? My brother is a coward. And for that, the shame that falls on the Akatsuki, a group he named that they can't bear it. So tonight I rename them the Arrancar, the Torn Masks, as they have removed the veil of shame that has posessed them from their association with my pathetic brother.

Jimmy Pate:
Strong words from Lee Pyro. I have never seen such hate or contempt for another human being as I see with Lee to his own brother. If or when Chris returns, this battle between them is going to be brutal.

Ray White:
You're not kidding. Renaming the group that Chris started, and the violent attacks at Chris' home and causing friends to betray Chris... Lee is a dangerous customer.

Lee hands the mic back to Lizzie, and removes his overcoat, revealing his wrestling attire. It consists of a black faux-vest, dress shirt and tie and black spandex tights and boots. He hands his coat to the Arrancar and waits in the corner facing the entry way for his opponent.

Entrance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An upbeat tune, created with electric guitar and drums, blasts out of the PA System, soon followed by the sound of piano. Everyone hes their focus drawn to the entrance way as from behind the curtain emerges a six foot figure wearing somewhat baggy white pants and a simple white hoodie. As always, a plastic white theater mask, bearing no emotional expression, covers the his face. The crowd in the arena rise out of their seats and begin to cheer, showcasing their excitement and appreciation of the man simply known as Faceless. The Nameless one slaps a few hands of the fans situated on his right, before making a quick 360 degree turn while moving forward to place himself right in the center of the corridor between backstage and ringside. With a quick hand motion, "Billy" then removes the hood of his head, revealing his black hair, and just as quickly shoots his arms up in the air, one finger of each hand extended, to draw another pop from the crowd.

O Party Party Party
I wanna have a Party
I need to have a Party
You better have a Party

O Party Party Party
You gotta Party harty
I'm gonna have a Party
Or else you won't be sorry

After holding the pose for a few seconds, the masked one dashes forward, passing the announcer table and sliding into the ring. Once inside the squared circle, almost without stopping he jumps back up to his feet and continues running towards the farthest turnbuckle. With one leap he ends up on the second rope, pressing legs into the top rope for support. At the same time, Lizzie Morna lifts the microphone up to her mouth again, officially introducing Billy.

And his opponent, from Parts Unknown, weighting in at 215 pounds... Faceless!

The Nameless one unzips his hoodie and removes it, revealing black pads covering his elbows. The piece of clothing is then dropped just outside the ring and Faceless then shouts at the crowd to make some more noise, which works out just fine and the arena is once more filled with loud cheers. Satisfied with results, the man of no identity jumps back down to the canvas and takes a glimpse at his opponent, who is patently waiting for this whole ordeal to end. For whatever reason, it seems that the presence of Lee Pyro is bothering Faceless and he takes a bit of time before getting to another corner. Once he finally makes his way there, "Billy" again motions the crowd to let their voices be heard, yet, this time with a lot less energy than usual. Eventually the PA system goes silent and it appears the bout will begin shortly.

Lee Pyro has kept a close eye on his opponent, following every move. Faceless has noticed this and instantly locked his eyes youngest one of Pyro brothers, clearly something is bothering him tonight. So before Batilda can give the signal for the bell to be rung, the Nameless one makes a B-line towards Lizzie. After politely asking her for the microphone, the masked one clinches the stick made for talking in his hand and slowly lifts it to his mouth, still gathering words to say.

It's not my business, but I can't... I can't hold it in me. I followed closely this "situation", if you will, between you and your brother. And it's not my business, I should just stay out of it... The problem is, it's just too damn close to my own hearth.

Faceless stops for a moment and looks away from Lee, shifting his sight to the mat he stands on. There's nothing really interesting there, thus it's clear "Billy" is just having trouble assembling his thoughts in correct order.

Believe it or not, Lee, but I know better than probably anyone else here how you feel. I understand where you're coming from. Give me a minute to explain. Just like you, I too lost my parents. Thanks to some drunk asshole, at the mere age of six I was left an orphan. Some scumbag got drunk and decided to get behind a wheel, thus taking away my family, leaving me completely alone. But it got better... after spending years in orphanages and the streets, one man saw something in me. He took me away from the destructive environment that surrounded everything I knew. He ignited my passion for wrestling and trained me to become one. But more importantly, he became my family. That is until four years ago... when once again all was taken away. The man I started to call my father was killed by some bum he was merely trying to help...

The audience seems to be captivated by the story as seemingly for the first time they get to hear about the mysterious past of Faceless.

You couldn't believe the anger that begun to burn in me... I wanted to find both of those guys and beat them with my bare hands for as long as there was nothing left of them. So believe me when I say, I know how you feel about Chris. And I'm not defending him, what he did to your parents is unforgivable.
Here's the thing, though... It's what causes the conflicted feelings inside of me... I get your anger, but what you're doing isn't right. It's not justice. It's not rightful. And believe me when I tell you, it won't make you feel better. I've been there. I allowed my hate to consume me. And just like with Chris, you could say a demon was awaken in me. Believe me when I say - it wasn't pretty.

The Nameless one takes another pause and steps up to the "Spirit of Death", staring him right in the eyes. This clearly annoys Lee, even more than the speech of Faceless, one he has no desire to hear.

Let me ask you this. What happens when you finally break Chris' spirit and drive him mad again? You're going to fight him, right? Well what happens if you lose? All you've done then is once again set the Demon Ninja, as you call him, loose. The very thing you hate so much would once more roam free, and hell knows what destruction he might end up causing again. But that's not gonna happen. You're going to beat him, you're going to destroy him, right? And then what? Sure, you've got you're revenge and it will be sweet for the time. But it's not gonna bring your parents back. It won't ease the pain. It won't bring closure. And once you'll realize that, the pain will become ten times greater. The anger will fill up every living cell of your body until it bursts. And that will lead to two paths: you're own demise... or you yourself will become that madman, who's running around the place causing pain to everyone else. Either way, you can't win, not if you continue what you're doing. And you're going to deny this, I know you will. I can see it in your eyes already. But I've been there. I've went that path. All it left me with is this plastic mask on my face.
I understand you Lee, even though you disagree. And while it's wrong, it's not my place to interfere, I will. I'm not gonna sit back and watch that story play out again. And if that means making sure you'll never reach Pyro, if that means I'll have to give an ass-kicking of your lifetime tonight... Well then I fucking will just do that.

The masked one pulls the mic away from his mouth and the two participants of the following match engage in a intense stare-down, before Batilda Kihlstedt intervenes, urging "Billy" to return to his corner. Faceless doesn't argue and steps away, handing the microphone back to Morna on his way.

Sorry for the lateness, crazy week

Before Batilda even gets the chance to signal the bell, Lee jumps Faceless with a boot to the mid section followed by a clubbing blow to the back of the man known as Billy. The Faceless One drops to a knee under the strength of the blow, and walks over to the corner where the Death Spirit keeps on top of him. Lee grabs Faceless Billy by the throat and begins to choke him, putting his face into the mask screaming "YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME!" before Batilda backs him off. Lee takes a few steps back, before going back on the attack, driving his shoulders into Billy's gut repeatedly, driving the air out of Faceless. The newly named Arrancar stalk around the ring, keeping an eye out for the older Pyro and on the match. Lee gets pulled back again by Batilda, who warns him of his actions. Lee blows him off and goes to continue his assault, but gets met with a boot to the stomach, followed by two punches to the top of his head, forcing the Spirit of Death to take some steps backwards, stunned by the sudden attack. Faceless makes a charge for the ropes behind the younger Pyro, and rebounds off them to the opposite end facing Lee before once again rebounding. On his way back, Lee swings for a clothesline, but Billy ducks under it and once again goes to the ropes. As Lee Pyro turns around, Faceless Billy drops down with a low dropkick to the knee of young Pyro, and when Lee drops to the mat, Faceless quickly follows up with a leg drop to the back of Lee's nock. In response to this, Lee rolls out of the ring, holding his neck as the Arrancar converge on their commander. They tell the ref to keep Billy back, which Batilda does. As Lee stands back to his feet, he looks into the ring to see that Faceless had not entirely obeyed the ref as he dives over the top rope, flipping his body over to land back first on the group of heels. They all crash to the ground, with Faceless getting to his feet first, riling the fans up.

JP:
Faceless is making sure to dictate the pace, certainly after Lee Pyro took the initiative and sneak attacked Faceless at the start.

RW:
What are you talking about? Faceless was the one who first attacked Lee... Why would such a sweet face like Lee attack someone first?

Faceless turns around and stomps on Lee, who recoils back to a sitting position, holding his chest. Billy picks up the Dark Clad wrestler, but unbeknownst to him, Akira has distracted Batilda and gets attacked from behind by Tenshi and Fuyukai. Lee watches the assault, and drops an elbow that knocks the wind out of the Faceless one. Akira leaves Batilda who comes back to see Lee in control, with the other two Arrancar. Batilda warns Tenshi and Fuyukai to leave Faceless alone, and they hold their hands up innocently and back away. Lee grabs the Faceless one and throws him into the ring. Lee climbs onto the apron, climbing through the middle rope, but is met by a knee from the Masked Man. Lee drops to his back on the apron and rolls into the ring, where Faceless takes a moment to catch his breath. Once happy he has his composure, Faceless walks back to Lee and lifts him up by the hair. Faceless wraps his arms around the neck of Lee, spinning around, dropping to the mat with a neckbreaker. The Youthful Pyro recoils, holding his neck in pain, as Faceless forces Lee to a sitting position. Faceless wraps his arms around the neck of the Shadow of Death, posting his knee into the spine. Lee groans in pain as Batilda asks if he is willing to quit. Lee replies "no" in a venomous way, but before he can do anything Faceless pulls back hard on the neck in response to Lee's answer. Tenshi this time hops up onto the ring apron, drawing the attention of the ref away from whats happening in the ring. Akira climbs into the ring, and attacks Faceless, freeing his master from the torment. Lee lays back in the ring, while Akira continues his assault with a barrage of stomps. Akira slides out of the ring, just as Tenshi gets off the apron.

JP:
What is with the Arrancar? Why is the ref letting them stay at ringside, after they have drawn his attention away twice now?

RW:
Don't blame the Arrancar that Batilda has such a short attention span. I mean, who wouldn't? Faceless is kind of boring.

As if hearing Pate's complaint, and annoyed by their actions as well, Batilda orders all three members of the Arrancar away from the ringside area, or risk having Lee disqualified. Lee gets back up and looks to see where Faceless ended up. Lee delivers a solid elbow drop to the chest of the Masked Mystery before getting up and repeating the same action. After a few elbows, Faceless tries to get away, but Lee instead drops down both fists to the chest of his opponent, and crawling towards him. This time Lee wraps his arm around the neck of the masked man and begins pounding on his masked features as hard as he could, snarling at him that "You can burn, just like my brother!". Batilda pulls Lee off of Faceless and again repremand him from his unnecissary violence on Faceless. Lee ignores Batilda and soccer kicks his opponent in the ribs, sending a smacking sound throughout the arena. Lee then kneels at the head of Faceless and wraps his arms around neck of Billy, and squeezes him in an amateur style hold.

[Faceless]

Purely out of instinct, Faceless begins to struggle as would anyone, having their intake of oxygen cut off. However, the much stronger Lee retains the hold locked in tightly, aiming to squeeze the daylight out of the masked one. And for a few more moments, it seems to be working. Yet, after coming fairly close to passing out, the Nameless uses the little strength he had left to try and break free again. The end result isn't one he preferred, but it forced the young Pyro to loosen up the grip for couple seconds while trying to contain "Billy". But those couple seconds is all Faceless needed to take few good, deep breaths of air, refiling his lungs with that precious O2. With fuel to operate, the mysterious cruiserweight is ready to once more try to find his way out of the tough situation he's in.

Lee appears to be in full control, but Faceless isn't ready to throw the towel just yet. He insists to continue.

Which is pointless. He can try to fight all he want, but we all know he's about to be choked out.

However, instead of trying to power his way through, Faceless resorts to other means this time around. The masked one draws in his legs and shifts his weight to right side, slowly managing to turn his body and head to the same side. Lee is forced to adjust his lock accordingly, something he's not too excited to do. While he's still in trouble, the Nameless one now has more room to work with and instantly proceeds to the next phase. "Billy" plants his right hand on the canvas and little by little begins to push the "Shadow of Death" back, at the same time trying to stand up. Since he doesn't have the right position to support himself correctly, the leader of Arrancar has no choice but ascend back to vertical stance as well. Feeling this probably won't end well for him, Lee attempts once more to position himself firmly behind his mysterious opponent, where he would have complete control again. No such luck, though, as Faceless proves to be smart enough to prevent it, blasting his nearer elbow to the abdomen of Pyro before he could make a move. The man of forsaken identity repeats the motion three more times, each time putting more and more power behind it. And with each shot to his guts, Lee can feel "Billy" slipping out of his grasp. With his freedom just inches away, the Nameless one gathers all his strength for one last shot. And it delivers, not only breaking Faceless out of Shinigami's grasp, but also knocking the wind out of Pyro, doubling him over.
An opportunity to retake the driver's seat presents itself and without much hesitation the masked one decides to take it, launching himself towards the ropes. After bouncing of them, the mysterious cruiserweight is sent back full speed towards the "Spirit of Death", looking to take his opponent down for the count. Unfortunately for him, Lee has other plans. The younger one of Pyro brothers makes a little step forwards and tucks his head under "Billy's" armpit while he was still in running motion. At the same Lee wraps one arm around his opponents waist, while using the other one to grab his hip to life the Nameless one into the air. Aiming to bust the spine of Faceless, the "Shadow of Death" immediately falls forward after the body of the masked one reaches the highest point of the ground. Almost out of desperation, the bleach white face wrestler manages to tightly wrap his arm around Lee's neck. The result of this action sequence, thus, is devastating for both men. Not surprisingly, Faceless is slammed back first into the mat with authority. Yet, due to the last second headlock, he drags Pyro down the road of pain with him, firmly planing his skull into the canvas.

Holy... I think everyone here felt the impact of that one. Quite an impressing showing there by Faceless, I must say, managing to hit that DDT.

It's not impressive, it's pathetic. Why do ugly wimps like him always have to go for the face? And especially one as dashing as Lee's.

Dashing? I think it's time for you to get your eyes checked, Ray.

With both men laid out in the center of the squared circle, Batilda approaches them and leans in, making sure of both are conscious and able to continue. Indeed they are still somewhat conscious, but their condition is rather questionable. Thus Kihlstedt is prompted to step back begin the ever so unwanted count to ten. "One", "Two", "Three" and even "Four" all escape match officials mouth before either competitor begins to show some distinctive movement. "Five" echoes loudly through the arena thanks to those in attendance and so this now becomes a race against time. Feeling the pressure, both Lee and "Billy" attempt to shake of the dizziness and crawl to the nearest ring ropes, hoping that they will aid them on their way back to vertical stance. In what seems like an instance, the count reaches "Six", "Seven" and "Eight" before it is finally broken up. Pyro and Faceless are standing on their own feet once more and the match will continue, much to the delight of the fans. The eyes of the pair lock-up for few moments, as they both still are trying to catch their breath, and the intensity between the two could be cut with a knife. As if it was agreed upon, both men launch themselves to one another just a mere second later, each looking for an opportunity to land a hit. Lee is the first one to take a swing, stretching his arm to the side in expectation to clothesline the Nameless one.
However, "Billy" ducks under it and quickly spins himself around, awaiting for Shinigami to do the same. And indeed he does turn around, opening himself up for the Faceless to attack. Using all his might, the masked one smacks the back of his hand across Lee's chest, drawing a loud "Woo!" from the crowd and a cry of pain from Pyro. "Billy" is far from being done though, chopping the torso of his opponent, until the "Spirit of Darkness" finally manges to cover it up with his arms. The mysterious cruiserweight thus is forced to switch it up and so he does, throwing himself to the ring ropes again. This time, though, instead of bouncing of them, Faceless leaps onto the middle rope and springboards of it. While in air, the "pale face" flyer turns around trusts one of his legs backwards, aiming to kick Lee's head of. Ironically enough, it is "Billy's" head that almost ends up being separated from his body. Displaying amazing senses and athleticism once again, the Arrancar commander lifts one of his boots high enough into the air, ensuring that the Nameless one to flies mask first into it. The kick is almost sickening and it brings Faceless down hard, crashing back first into the mat.
