*DING, DING, DING*
The bell tolls the beginning of the match, and the crowd in Manilla erupt in a roar. Chants of EVP-Dubbulyah fill the air as both men go through the customary circling of each other, sizing each other up. The Warlock moves, slightly crouched and ready to pounce at the slightest notice. Kasabian looks a little more relaxed, licking his lips as he saunters around a safe distance from his opponent. The pair eventually lock horns, clashing in the centre of the ring in the inevitable test of strength.
Both men are rather evenly matched for strength, so the test of strength doesn't easily get swayed one way or another. The Magician begins to take a small advantage, only for the Pervert to push back. The pair to-and-fro through the test of strength until the dastardly Stalker breaks the connection between the pair with a well placed stomp onto Azazel's foot. Jakob howls in surprise and hops backwards, bringing a smile to the Pervert's face.
The smile on his face is soon wiped clean off as Azazel explodes with an expertly placed Forearm Strike. The strike staggers the Butcher and he teeters into the ropes. The Wizard of Wrestling closes the gap created between the pair, dropping Kasabian Stalker to the canvas for the first time with a Neckbreaker that echoes around the first few rows of the Manillan crowd.
Oliviera: "An even opening to the match, but Jakob Azazel picks up the early advantage."
Commonwealth: "The young punk sent a message with that move. Move over old timer, your time is done."
MD: "If Kasabian Stalker is an old timer... What does that make us? Bloody ancient?"
Commonwealth: "Stone Orchard doesn't age. We are immortal. We are legends. Legends never die."
Kasabian Stalker staggers to his feet, Lord Azazel waiting for him to rise fully to a vertical base. The Pervert swings a wild Clothesline that hits nothing but air, the technical Wizard ducking under the strike with ease before placing a kick to the back of Stalker's knee. Kasabian staggers but does not crumble. Not until Azazel follows the kick up with a Chop Block that crumples the knee out from underneath him. Stalker falls to one knee, clutching at his fallen one. He doesn't have much time to labour on the agony as Azazel wrenches him back to his feet from behind and wraps him up into a Back Suplex position.
As the Warlock hoists Stalker into the air, Kasabian wraps his legs around the back of Azazel's knees, resulting in Azazel being unable to lift him more than a few feet off the ground. He places him back onto the canvas, kicks the back of Stalker's injured knee for good measure and hurls him into the air again with more force. This time, he is able to get Kasabian right up off the ground, but the surprisingly limber Stalker wraps his legs backwards around Azazel's mid-section, a modified Body Scissors that stops the Magician from completing the Back Suplex. Instead, the pair drop to the canvas harmlessly, both scrambling back to their feet to get the upper hand on the other.
Kasabian is the first one to place his hands on the other. He manages to lift Azazel up into a Powerbomb position. With the Warlock on his shoulders, he is just about to plant Azazel back to the canvas when his injured knee crumples once more from under him. Azazel falls but lands on his feet, wasting no time in unleashing a Double Palm Strike to his opponent. With Kasabian staggered, he grabs him with both hands around the shoulders and proceeds to soften up his mid-section with Repeating Knee Strikes. The vicious strikes serve to drop Kasabian back to the canvas once more, into a wheezing heap.
Oliviera:
"Early going and Kasabian seems to have picked up a bit of a niggly knee. Hopefully that doesn't hold him back in the long run of the match."
MD:
"Since when were you a racist Matty?"
Oliviera:
"What? I have no idea what you mean..."
Commonwealth:
"Dragon, I think he said niggly... not, er... nevermind. One thing is clear though, the Magician has come to fight!"
Jakob Azazel waits for Kasabian to almost be ready to push himself back to a vertical base until he takes off. When he does, he charges at the ropes, launching into air and jumping off the second rope. Springboarding himself back into the ring, he opens himself wide up in a Springboard Cross Body, looking to demolish Kasabian as soon as he turns around.
However, the soaring Magician is caught in mid-air by Stalker. With oiled up biceps bulging at the effort, he manoeuvres Azazel's frame into a Cradle position, placing his head underneath his armpit and wrapping his arms and legs up. He takes the time to breathe in Azazel's scent, sniffing the nape of his neck deeply before licking the poor Magician's cheek. Then, with the venomous snap of a python, he drills him into the mat with a brutal Cradle DDT.
Commonwealth:
"Kasabian's Caress! Holy crap, he caught him in mid air and just destroyed him!"
Oliviera:
"It goes to show, everything can change on one big move. The entire momentum of the match has shifted..."
MD:
"As have the brains inside Jakob Azazel's skull after an impact like that. I felt it from here!"Stalker uses the opening he had created to escape the ring. Scurrying around until he is in front of the commentary desk, he lifts up the ring apron, to the very spot in the video where he had hidden the duffel bag. He buries himself underneath the ring, desperately searching for the bag and its mysterious contents.
While still groggy, his opponent Azazel manages to roll out of ring. Dazed and a little confused, he finds himself standing at a vertical base along the side of the ring. Azazel notices Kasabian retrieve the duffel bag and begin walking towards him with it. The sight seems to wake him out of his dizziness, knowing whatever is inside the duffel bag to come straight from the twisted mind of Kasabian Stalker. Wanting the bag and being ready to claw it out of the cold dead clutches of Stalker to get it, he starts after Stalker in order to meet him head on. The surprise turn in Azazel takes Stalker somewhat by surprise. He stops in his tracks, backing away from the corner of the ring he had reached until only the steel steps separate him from his opponent. Then, without warning, Kasabian tosses the duffel bag right across the other side of the ring, near the entrance ramp. He watches as it sails up through the air, lands on the canvas near the ropes and slides out of the ring again.
This time, it is Jakob Azazel's turn to smile. In Kasabian's haste to toss the bag away to safety, he had made the journey easier for Azazel than himself. He comes at Azazel, looking to run through him in his quest to retrieve the bag once more but the Wizard pushes forward, knocking the steel steps off their perch and directing them to fall in Stalker's path. Stalker crashes into the steps with an almighty boom, topples head over heels and winds up coming to rest against the crowd barricade, much to the delight of the Manilla fans lucky enough to be at ringside. Azazel practically skips off, rushing over to bag and opening it. Expecting the bag to be filled with a variety of weapons that Stalker could use throughout the match, he and the EVPW faithful are surprised and a little disappointed to find the bag filled to the brim of kids magic tricks and decks of cards, the essential magic kit for the 12 year old Wizard.
Commonwealth:
"There's that blasted bag again. What the hell is inside."
Oliviera:
"Look at the screen... It's filled with magic tricks. What the hell was Stalker meeting up with Ray White to sneak a bag of magic tricks into the arena for?"
MD:
"Something doesn't compute, something doesn't make sense. But to his credit, Jakob Azazel took Kasabian's caress and is still walking around. What else can the Warlock take?"While Azazel is busy searching through his duffel bag of magic tricks, Kasabian claws his way back to the ring apron once more. This time, he pulls out another duffel bag, identical to the first... except for one difference, a label reading:
Ray White.MD: "There's another duffel bag? It's a bloody switcheroo!"Kasabian places the duffel bag on the apron of the ring and opens the zipper. Reaching inside, he pulls out a few items with a twinkling smile. Firstly, a complete gimp suit, made of leather and with a mask that zips right up the front, containing the wearer inside. Images of Ray White wearing the suit instantly haunt the minds of all who watch on, but Kasabian places the suit down in favour of a second item, a leather whip.
He takes the whip in one hand, the duffel bag in the other and slides back into the ring. Azazel comes to meet him inside the squred circle, but receives a whip to the back for his troubles as he ducks under the top rope. A second, then a third vicious strike with the whip cause wounds to open up on his back, seeping blood ever so slowly. Azazel crumples, crawling out of Kasabian's reach and backing himself into the corner against the turnbuckle.
Kasabian tosses the whip aside, dropping the duffel bag so he can retrieve another item. With the Warlock still preoccupied with the pain in his back, Kasabian pulls out a set of lockable leather wristbands and chains, intended to secure the wearer's wrists together but with a little more freedom than simple handcuffs. He snaps the first wristband on, then the second, closing the locks and pulling the bands tight before Azazel had even realised what was happening. Jakob lashes out, catching Stalker with the chain across the side of the head and opening a cut above his eye. Stalker backs himself up against the ropes, Azazel stepping forward to Roundhouse Kick the Pervert. Kasabian catches all of the kick, sending him backwards in between the top and second ropes. He crashes down to the ringside, landing just out of reach of the magic trick filled duffel bag. Azazel stands in the ring, watching down on him, hands still chained together.
Oliviera:
"Boys... This is officially getting weird. We are being subjected to Ray White's hidden life, all of these objects seem to be from his private collection."
MD:
"And the blood has begun to flow. Took long enough."
Commonwealth:
"Nothing like a bit of blood to bring the real demon out from within a man. Things are getting damned interesting. I hope they tear each other apart!"
With all of the talking from Stone Orchard, the attention had not been on Azazel. Before anybody knows it, the Magician is standing free of the leather and chain confines, a smile on his face. Jakob Azazel had escaped.
MD: "He's free! How did he do that? It's freaking magic!"
Oliviera:
"I'm pretty sure that Kasabian forgot to remove the key from the lock and Azazel simply used the key to free himself." Indeed, as Jakob Azazel tosses aside the leather wristbands and chains, he also tosses aside a small key that Kasabian had not had time to take with him before being ejected from the ring. Kasabian had clawed his way back to a vertical base, using the ring framing for support. While Stalker slides himself into the ring, Azazel jumps out of it, landing at ringside on his feet. He scrambles over to the magic-trick duffel bag and reaches inside.
Putting his fingers to his temple with his left hand, Azazel pulls out a deck of cards with his right hand and tosses it towards the ring. It hits Kasabian on the shoulder, bouncing off and landing on the canvas. The Magician proceeds to hurl decks of cards, magic wands and assorted other novelty items at the Pervert, much to the Pervert's amusement. Only when Azazel reaches over the crowd barricade and takes one of the very steel chairs that an audience member is sitting on, does Kasabian's eyes open in surprise. Kasabian holds his hands up in protest, but the Warlock tosses the chair in his direction anyway. The chair bounces off the ring ropes and falls harmlessly to the canvas but it gives the distraction needed for Azazel to slip back inside once more.
MD: "Jakob Azazel is using Telekinesis! He's moving objects with his damned mind!"
Oliviera:
"I can't see him very well from over there, but I'm pretty sure he's just picking things up and chucking them."
Commonwealth: "Telekinesis or not, he's still raining down a barrage on Kasabian Stalker. Duck and cover!"
By the time the Wizard of Wrestling had managed to slide back into the ring, Kasabian had already armed himself with another set of items. In one hand, he holds a set of nipple clamps; the other contains a particularly large looking ten inch black dildo. Kasabian readies the incoming Warlock with a few good stomps and kicks, enough to have Azazel crawling across the ring looking for cover. He doesn't find cover, what he does find is a rubber dildo to the side of the head, courtesy of the one and only Perverted One. Kasabian swings the rubber phallus with all his might, cracking him across the back of the skull, then the side of the cheek.
Azazel once more backs himself up into a turnbuckle looking for sanctuary, but this only eggs Kasabian on more. He prepares the nipple clamps, then attaches them like jumper leads to the Warlocks nipples. Instantly, the Magician howls in pain at a pitch higher than any man should ever hit. If that wasn't enough for this bizarre scene, Kasabian draws attention off the pain in his opponent's nipples with a perfectly executed Testicular Claw, grabbing a hold and twisting Azazel's magic bags for all he is worth with one hand... With the other, he proceeds to slap Azazel across the face with Ray White's giant dildo.
MD: "What the...?"
Oliviera: "Fuck...?"
Commonwealth: "Are we watching?
That's one definition of 'Mindfuck', I'm sure Azazel has a different one when he uses the term. I'm not sure how much more of this I want to watch."
After far too long in the corner with Kasabian Stalker, long enough for his balls to feel like they are dropping clean off his body, long enough for his nipples to be a deep shade of purple underneath the vice-clamps and long enough to intimately know more about Ray White than anybody should ever know, Azazel had had enough. Summoning up strength from within him, he simply explodes out of the corner. Pushing Kasabian off him, breaking the Testicular Claw and watching the rubber penis fly through the air as Kasabian falls backwards, Jakob doesn't even feel the nipple clamps being torn from his chest. He doesn't even notice the metallic teeth of the clamps tearing flesh from his nipples like cats claws. He pounces, slamming Kasabian's head into the canvas repeatedly. The usually technically sound Magician looks like a wildman.
Kasabian pushes Jakob off his body with a Monkey Flip, but the Magician lands on his feet. As Kasabian Stalker had done earlier in the match, it was time for him to punctuate his mark on the event. He charges across at Kasabian, stepping up off the kneeling Pervert's leg, before unleashing a skull crushing Shining Wizard that does just that. Kasabian drops sideways to the canvas like he had been shot with a rifle. Eyes closes, body lifeless, Kasabian Stalker looks dead to the world.
Having had enough of the Perverted One's antics and Ray White's little bag of tricks, Jakob Azazel hooks Kasabian's leg for a pinfall and the match official slides in to count what he hopes will be the first fall of the night.
One...
Commonwealth: "Shining Wizard! I think that shook Kasabian to the core.
Oliviera: And Stalker had better come around quick or he is going to find himself losing the first fall of this thing. You don't want to fall behind in an Iron Man match and play catchup."
MD: "Catchup isn't another one of Kasabian Stalker's sick games is it? I've had enough of that for one evening."
Oliviera: No, I believe that game is called 'Hide the Pickle.'Two...
