HOSPITAL VISIT

The camera’s elsewhere suddenly sparked the big screen into action, and the Asylum fans watched on, as the Local Hospital in Kansas came into view, Tommy Gunn, previously injured at the hands of GV, after being thrown from the rafters, was seen checking out of what appeared to be a check up on his previous injuries, Gunn stood at the main desk, before signing a few papers, flipping his car keys out of his wallet, and walking out of the sliding doors, at this point, an eerie silence crept around the arena, just as an eerie silence crept around the area where Tommy Gunn was, as he calmly walked through the doors, a figure stood, back to the wall, and upon that figure, broke an evil smile. GV stood amongst the shadows, clutching a crowbar, as Gunn neared his car, he noticed a shadow occupying his right hand side, upon turning, Gunn looked back at the hospital, buzzing with activity, then looked around himself again as the cold win blew, Gunn turned back to his car.

And was met with a swift jab to the ribs via a crowbar, at the hands of GV, Gunn doubled over as the crowbar connected, dropping his keys, he looked up into the eyes of GV, who snarled back, Gunn however managed to strike a low blow, and as GV dropped the crowbar, Gunn crawled towards his keys, he reached, again and again, before finally grasping the keys, and almost dragging himself up the side of his car door, click, click, Snap! Gunn got the key into the lock, and the door flung open.

Crack.

Tommy Gunn felt a tremor of pain shoot down his spine as the crowbar connected for a relentless second time, Gunn hunched up in a ball beside his car, in agony, he looked up one more time into the eyes of GV, who smiled, before swinging to crowbar, shattering the window of Gunn’s car, and sending the glass down onto Gunn, as the scene went back to the shocked arena.

JON SPRATT VS KENNY ROCK

"In The End" by Linken Park played over the Asylum's P.A. system as an extravagant entry was made by the Asylum rookie: Kenny Rock. Clad in Canadian gear, crutches, a cast, and what seemed to be a championship belt, Kenny Rock slowly paced around the Asylum, shivering at the thought that he would have to compete in such a ghastly warzone. He entered the Asylum with a mic in his hand as he began to address the public of his arrival.

"Greetings to all of my Canadian fans here in Kansas City, birthplace of my opponent this evening, Cactus Ron Splat." Kenny continued, "Unfortunately Mr. Splat, I am in very bad shape and much to my chagrin, I won't be able to fight you at 100%. Yes, it's true. The man you see standing in the middle of the ring tonight is injured."

Kenny pauses, hoping to receive sympathy from his audience, but receives none. Angrily, he retaliates to them by pacing back and forth, grabbing his crotch and flipping off everyone in sight. "You people have no respect, you know that? I hold a championship belt around here! I have a reputation! I deserve to be respected and I DEMAND it from all of you ingrates right this instant!" The fans respond by giving him a chorus of boos.

"Don't you boo me! I'm the undisputed Anti-Hardcore Champion of the Universe! And just for that extreme display of disrespect, I refuse to put this title on the line here tonight! Instead, if Mr. Splat would be so kind as to come out here and receive my gift to him, I would really really like that a lot."

Kenny waits... and waits... and Jon Spratt still is nowhere to be seen. Kenny impatiently begins to stomp around as he begins to speak yet again. "I got you the most Canadian thing I could find! HURRY UP YOU STUPID SONUVABITCH!" Kenny reaches under the ring and grabs a cactus labeled 'Anti-Hardcore Cactus' particularly because of its lack of thorns.

Irritated, Kenny decides to pass time by singing a familiar tune, "Oh Caaaannnnaaaaddaaaaa....."

'Bombtrack' By Rage Against the Machine played.

The crowd exploded former 3 time fWo champion, 'The Legend' Jon Spratt. Kenny Rock already awaits his opponent in the ring. Jon Spratt makes his way towards the caged ring. He just looks right at Kenny Rock, emotionless. A cold hard stare just piercing a hole through him. Spratt gets into the ring and the bell sounds. Kenny Rock starts charging at Spratt. Spratt quickly applies a drop toehold on Rock who flies face first into the mat. Spratt gets up and allows Kenny Rock to get up on his own will. KR then locks up with Spratt. Spratt takes his knee and lifts it into KR stomach area. Spratt then cranks back and punches KR in the side of his face. KR falls to one knee, and just as fast as he falls to that knee…he is met with a boot to the face which sends KR on his back. Spratt now mounts KR and begins to unleash a furry of rights and lefts.

KR blocks most of them but Spratt manages to get in a few good shots. Once again Spratt allows KR to get up. They lock up again, but this time KR gets the advantage. KR sends Spratt into the steel railing. Spratts' facial expression tells you just how much that steel railing hurts. KR sees a chance to take the advantage and he capitalizes. KR runs and spears Spratt into the railing/steel mesh, putting more strain on the back of 'The Legend'. Spratt falls down on the match clutching his back. KR begins to stomp away at the back of Spratt. KR picks Spratt up by the hair, and that's when everything changed. Spratt takes a hit below the belt as many people call it. Spratt sprang up and began kicking KR in the ribs violently. Spratt then picks up KR and throws him into the cage head first. Picks him up again and throws him head first into the steel mesh once again.

Spratt yells for one of the announcers to hand him a chair, and he threatens to come out there if they don't. So, out of fear, the announcer hands Spratt his steel chair. KR staggers to his feet, and turns around. Spratt takes a baseball swing with the chair and hits KR flush in the face. KR immediately begins to bleed from the forehead and nose. Spratt then stands over KR and hits him in the head again, and again and again. Spratt then lays the chair down in the middle of the ring. He lifts KR's limp body up and sets him up for his finisher called "Legend Bomb" (hangman's DDT) Spratt plants Kenny Rocks head right onto the chair. The ref checks on KR and calls for the bell. 'The Legend' Jon Spratt has won this match by knockout in 6 minutes and 22 seconds. He stands in the ring, still has the same facial expression that had when he entered. That unrelentless cold hard stare as Asylum fades to commercial.

WINNER: JON SPRATT VIA KNOCKOUT

RENO DAVIS VS AARON WALKER
SUBMISSION FIGHT

Back To School by The Deftones blared over the arena on the un-expecting fans as the newcommer Aaron Walker emerged from backstage to a mixed reaction. He pointed at the Asylum and yelled something that couldn't be understood, which got a little bit more of a pop. Aaron climbed into the Asylum and awaited his unknown opponent...

Give It Up by The Goodmen begins to play as the small five second introduction lets the fans know that Reno Davis has returned from his stay in jail. The good pop gets bigger as Reno walks out keeping in tune with the music. He stops, turns and points back at the entrance as his best friend and manager, ZaC emerges to a HUGE pop. Reno shrugs and continues to the ring along with ZaC.

The match starts with the crowd already exited as Aaron and Reno lock up into a grapple. Aaron shoves Reno into the barracade and then went for a strong clothesline but Reno ducked and delivers a half decent german suplex. Aaron got up quickly but held his back as Reno ran at him with a hard crossbody followed by an Eastern Stretch that was held for 25 seconds until Aaron broke it and rolled Reno into a leg lock. Reno yelped as he instinctively grabbed the mesh but remembered this wasn't the ring. The ref asked him if he wanted to tap but Reno denied and grabbed one of Aaron's legs, slapping on a leglock of his own.

The two men pressed more and more on each other's legs until they both let go at the same time and rolled away holding their worked on leg. Reno held his left leg as he raised while Aaron held his right. Reno kicked Aaron in the stomach and flipped himself over into a rolling Rings of Saturn lock. He only held it for 5 seconds before rolling himself off of Aaron and placing a nice reverse Achilles lock on Aaron's right leg. Reno yelled at Aaron, telling him to give up but Aaron prevailed and spun around quickly and gave Reno a good kick to the face.

Reno rose at the same time as Aaron but was slightly bent over, prepared to pounce. Aaron said something that wasn't understood by the crowd, but Reno nodded and smiled and yelled to the crowd that Aaron won't give and then began to laugh until the referee told him to continue. Aaron speared Reno and delievered his trademark 'Amazing' Elbow onto a downed Reno. The crowd began to count,

1...

2...

3...

4...

5...

Reno rose fast with a low blow and picked Aaron up for a DVD but was reversed into schoolboy that was turn into some mounted punches. Reno pushed a vengefull Aaron off of him with his feet and rolled away holding his face. A solid kick to the chest sent Reno up into the air and back down to the mat hard as he held his chest in pain. Aaron turned Reno over and carefully locked on a Boston Crab that was held for 26 seconds until Reno flipped Aaron off of him and rolled away once more. Aaron saw that Reno was retreating, smiled to himself and raised his arms in the air as the crowd gave another mixed reaction. The ref checked on Reno as he held his chest in pain, but Aaron intruded with a series of hard kicks to Reno's neck. He raised Reno's legs into the air and gave him another kick to the chest. With a DDT to add to the pain, Aaron lifted Reno up for the Amazing Bomb but Reno's pet monkey, ZaC, latched onto his face and began biting Aaron. Reno landed on his chestas Aaron slammed into the mesh tryign to get ZaC off of him. The red haired wonder took this distraction as a chance to recover as he turned his back to Aaron and began ripping at the bottom of the mesh.

A few moments later and he had a good sized hole as the crowd wondered why he'd done it. Reno kicked Aaron on the sore left leg, causing him to fall onto one knee while ZaC leaped out of the ring and the crowd went nuts. Reno Irish Whipped Aaron into the barrier where the hole had been made. Aaron gave a hard elbow to Reno's chin and then looked at the hole in wonder. While Reno lay sprawled out holding his jaw, Aaron took the opurtunity to deliver the 'Amazing' Elbow once more. He hopped up onto the barrier and turned to face Reno, who was already standing up. Reno leaped at Aaron with a spear like amenuver but Aaron caught him and turned it into a DDT to the outside.

Both men laid unconscience on the outside while the crowd began to count again:

1...

2...

3...

4...

5...

6...

7...

8...

9...

10...

11...

Aaron began to rise slowly...

12...

13...

Aaron was up and the crowd gave him a good pop because of it. Reno managed to turn himself over onto his back and received a dropping knee to the sore chest. The crowd began to chant Aaron's name as he flipped Reno over and placed a bow and arrow submission on him, stretching the chest. After 13 seconds Reno broke the hold and rolled himself under the Asylum ring.

When Aaron went to check on him, he recieved a pipe to the knee. The hit knocked him down and Reno emerged from hiding. He began viciously beating Aaron with the pipe and dropped it so he could try for his signature submission move, The Straightjacket. Reno had it half locked in when Aaron apun around, low blowed Reno and then Powerslammed him on the hard floor. The hole was big enough for Aaron to easily slide Reno back into the ring, and did so.

Both men were now back in the ring and the crowd was on their feet as Aaron delivered the Amazing Bomb on Reno, then picked him back up and Irish Whipped him into the barrier near the hole. Reno landed chest first instead of back first, so Aaron decided to try for a german suplex, but Reno shot his leg back and low blowed him. Aaron held his jewels and turned so his back was facing Reno's. Reno noticed this and flipped himself over the barrier, hooked his legs behind Aaron's and slammed his back against the barrier. Reno then pulled Aaron's legs through the hole that was made and hooked them like a Boston Crab. This was his signature Final Anthem Submission hold.

Aaron held out for a few seconds before finally tapping out and giving Reno the win at 19:13 as Give it Up by The Goodmen played once more.

WINNER: RENO DAVIS VIA SUBMISSION

NOEL VS SILENCE

Dragula by Rob Zombie showered the arena and announced that the man known as Silence was about to beat some ass and take some names. The crowd booed loudly as he emerged from the back and payed no attention to the crowd on his way to The Asylum ring. Dragula was cut off when Sin by Nine Inch Nails began to blast throught the arena and the crowd shot their heads over to the entrance ramp to see Noel standing there, pointing at Silence. The crowd booed him mightily as he paced himself tot her ring and climbed in.

The ref called for the bell and the two men stared at each other while walking around the circular ring. They slowly came closer together until finally Noel started the match off with a hard knee to the stomach followed by hair grab slam. Silence held the back of his head as he started to get up but found himself in a stalling pile driver courtesy of Noel. Silence recovered however with a spinebuster into an Arabian Face Buster. Silence lifted him and delivered a nice Gargoyle Suplex that seemingly knocked Noel out. The ref began to count:

1...

2...

3...

4...

5...

Noel got back up to his feet quickly and received a running DDT that flattened him out once more. Silence motioned for the fans to ram it up their ass and then turned around to face Noel who was just starting to get back up. He grabbed Noel by the hair and hooked him for a suplex, but was reversed into a perfect DVD. Noel then locked on a Dragon Sleeper but Silence wouldn't tap.

A Spinal Tap make the crowd shout out "ooh!" as Noel delivered one more Spinal Tap to Silence and got the same reaction. The crowd began to chant:"Noel sucks!", that distracted him and gave Silence the chance to recover and slap on a Sleeper Drop, this made the crowd chant:"So does Silence!". Silence ignored them however and began to bash Noel's head into the mat repeatedly. Then out of nowhere, Silence Irish Whipped Noel and hit the out of position referee, knocking him out.

Mickey Riggs hit the ring and smashed Silence from behind, knocking him down to his knees. He then picked him up and delivered 'The Big Rig' and signaled for Noel to take him after that. Riggs left for the back as Noel drowsily locked 'The Mortal Sin' on the unconscience Silence. When the ref came to, he immediately called for the bell. Noel had picked up the victory at 8:43. Noel raised his arm victoriously, bringing him a torrent of abuse, the sounds of the crowd were quickly those of cheers however.

Nico hit the ring, Striking Noel with what appeared to be a Barbed Wire Crucifix, Noel fell, and began to stumble to his feet, as he and Nico traded blows as the show went to commercial.

WINNER: NOEL VIA SUBMISSION

MATTHEW© VS GRIFF TRUXELL
T.V. TITLE

Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine overshadows the crowd's Asylum chants as Griff Truxell comes out to a quick showering of boos. Griff flicks them off and continues to the ring as Scum of The Earth blares over the arena and the fans turn their boos to chants and cheers. A bit of trash is thrown at Griff in the ring and a pop can nearly smashed him in the head while Matthew climbed into the Asylum.

While Griff told off the fan and threatened to kill him, Matthew attacked Griff from behind with a powerful right handed clothesline that almost knocked Griff over right then and there but he recovered with a football tackle, knocking Matt on his ass. Griff hooked on a standard sleeper and held it onto Matthew for 50 seconds until Matthew elbowed Griff in the chest three times and performed an amazing Rin-Ne kick to Griff's neck.

He again picked him up and slammed Griff's face onto the barrier and held him in a headlock position, then he began grinding Griff's face across the barrier until Griff couldn't take it anymore and pulled out with all of his might.

Matthew rased his right arm to please the fans and got a good pop for it, he moved his arm down to Griff who was holding his face in pain on the ground and pointed. The fans went ballistic and raised to their feet as Matthew lifted Griff to his feet and shot out a hard right hook to the jaw followed by a fast jab to the stomach and as Griff bent over, he gave a powerful right club down onto Griff's neck but MISSED!

He popped two middle fingers up and aimed them at the crowd as he hooked a deathlock on Matthew and then leaned back for a bridge.

Matthew held his arms out as the referee, who was almost invisible for the whole match kneeled in front of him and began asking him if he wished to submit.

"NEVER!" yelled Matthew as he tried to break out of it. Griff held on though and broke the hold on his own in hopes of beating him down enough later. As Matthew raised slowly to his feet, Griff waited with his hands on his knees ready to attack the second the opportunity arose, it did when Matt turned around and Griff slammed a hard STF on Matt, sending him to the ground again.

ARCHANGEL© VS MIKEY RIGGS
ASYLUM CHAMPIONSHIP

One week after Mikey Riggs saved the prone Borst's from the maniac ArchAngel, Riggs is to face that man one on one in the Asylum. As Riggs makes his way down the aisle to Guns 'n Roses "Enter the Jungle", there's a feeling of excitement throughout the arena. Even though the match is non-title, it's likely to be something special, with Riggs being one of ArchAngel's toughest opponents to date. As the lights go out and red spotlights flash around the arena, Divine by Korn plays as the Asylum Championship holder, the monster, ArchAngel makes his way down the aisle. He has his mace in his right hand, the title belt in his left hand, and is staring right at Riggs. He stands outside the Asylum and looks at the floor. He drops the title belt and leans his mace against the cage before climbing in.

Riggs wastes no time and runs at ArchAngel, hitting him with a chop block. ArchAngel spins around landing on the mat, but he gets up quickly and ploughs Riggs down with solid clothesline. The fans boo as ArchAngel grabs Riggs arm and locks it in a basic armlock. Riggs gets up to his feet and manages to hook his leg around ArchAngel's upper thigh, taking ArchAngel's weight from under him. ArchAngel crashes to the mat and Riggs on top of him. Riggs slaps ArchAngel around the face, before exposing his main weakness. His love for the fans... or his love of hearing the fans cheer for him. He raises his arms, and smile as the fans cheer. He turns around to capitalise on the champ, but ArchAngel flings his hand towards Rigg's face and locks in Vengeance! The match is seemingly over so soon, with ArchAngel locking in the eye claw on Riggs. Mikey counters with the only way he can, by kicking ArchAngel below the belt. Riggs drops to his knees and wipes his right eye. It's been busted wide open from the strong grip ArchAngel had, and is beginning to swell already. Riggs facial expression changes to one of anger when he begins to see his own blood dripping on to the mat. He jumps up to his feet and runs at ArchAngel.

He delivers a vicious kick to ArchAngel's mid section, followed by a Russian legsweep. Both men are down after that exchange, and ArchAngel begins to stir first. Riggs gets up shortly afterwards and ArchAngel sets Riggs up for a powerbomb. Riggs counters with yet another low blow, the only move that seems to have any lasting effect on the champion. Riggs grabs ArchAngel from behind and signals for the Big Red reverse DDT. Suddenly, boos are heard throughout the arena as Silence begins to run down the aisle. Riggs notices him and releases ArchAngel, and he charges at Silence, who is about to climb into the cage. Riggs hits Silence with a huge forearm shot right in the chops, and Riggs turns around and runs at ArchAngel, who is still trying to recover from the second low blow of the fight.

Riggs jumps at ArchAngel, going for a bulldog, but ArchAngel shows amazing strength, managing to hold Riggs up and stagger forward before propelling Riggs out of the Asylum! The fans boo as ArchAngel is ruled the victor, and Riggs attempts to get up outside the Asylum. Silence is beginning to walk around the Asylum heading towards Riggs, and ArchAngel is about to leave the ring when "The Masses Against the Classes" hits! The fan roar, instantly recognising Borst's music. But it's not the Borst they're expecting that comes out. Zoe steps through curtain and has a mic in her hand. Riggs, Silence and ArchAngel has all stopped what they were doing and are looking down the aisle at Zoe.

"Guys. Fans. Asylum. Joe. Anyone. Pete's gone."

There is an eerie silence and the men in the ring all freeze.

"He's in a coma and has got to retire. He's retiring from fighting. He's retiring." Zoe sniffs and wipes her eyes. "He's been out since the car door incident last weekend. I was advised to not let Pete fight again."

The fans are stunned, as Zoe goes on. "Obviously, Pete can't have a say in things right now, and he might never be able to..." Zoe pauses for a moment. "But they say if he fights again, he might not come out.. he might not come out.. a.. a..." Zoe lowers her head, then suddenly looks up and stares down the aisle. "YOU. It's all YOUR fault." She points at ArchAngel, who remains emotionless.

"You've set out to ruin Pete's career ever since he beat you, fair and square at the first Asylum event. It's all your fault. Not only have you ruined Pete's career. Put the whole Borst family though a lot of pain and suffering, but here's the part that will probably annoy Joe the most, with him being the greedy little bastard he is... Pete can't fight in the main event at the next pay per view event. To you fans, it probably doesn't seem like much, to most people it doesn't. But to Joe... oh, this was gonna make him thousands. An 8 man team elimination match, last man standing is the champ. Pete can't fight in it now Joe, he can't. Oh, and sorry for ruining the surprise and all the hype, but you've got to put things into perspective here. Pete can't fight. He's in a coma. He's retiring from fighting. He might not w..." At that point, Zoe bursts out into tears. Riggs runs down the aisle to check on Zoe who just leans forward and begins to cry on his shoulder.

A shot of a stunned Joe Campbell backstage flashes up on the TV screen, before ArchAngel breaks the silence. "8 man elimination match... for MY title? And I don't know about it?"

Zoe looks up and wipes her tears away. "You, Nico, Silence and someone else of your choice. Harbinger or something I think Joe said. You were meant to face Sanjuro, Mikey, Noel and a mystery man, who would turn out to be Pete. But no it's ruined... and it's your fault ArchAngel, you ruined it. You've ruined everything you son of a..."

Suddenly the lights go out.

Several minutes pass, until they come back on. Riggs is laid out at the top of the aisle, and Silence is lying in the Asylum. ArchAngel is gone... and so is Zoe.

WINNER AND STILL ASYLUM CHAMPION: ARCHANGEL VIA RINGOUT

VIOLENT MEASURES

Fear. A factor which Joe Campbell hadn’t had to deal with many times in his life, normally, he’d be reasonably tough enough to fight his own battles, But the arena had emptied, security had gone home, he was the only human being left in the arena, or at least, he hoped so. Joe sat in his office, contemplating his next move, he’d seen what happened to Gunn on the big screen, but what could he do, in comparison to GV, he was puny, and in previous weeks, his devious traps, and help from Gunn had been all that stood between he and GV, but now… Now there was nothing.

Campbell took several deep breathes, before grasping his car keys from his desk, and calmly walking out of his office. The atmosphere was turely scary, as the lights on the corridor constantly flickered on, and off, and on again, in different segments. Suddenly, Joe became terrified. As the lights at the far end of the corridor flickered in an almost strobe like fashion, Joe thought he saw someone.

He thought he saw Graphic Violence.

After several minutes of hiding in the darkness, Joe walked quietly down the corridor, and breathed a sigh of relief as he dashed through the doors, and came across a security guard.

“Hey Sir, something bothering you?” The guard proceeded.

“No, your alright, just carry on with what your doing, I’ll be Ok.” Joe replied.

Joe didn’t want to say this, but he didn’t want to appear a coward either, as once again, he walked in fear, moments passed, and Joe sighed in relief, as his Mustang Convertible came into view, he approached, still looking around in fear, before putting the key into the lock, and stopping. Just how insane was GV? Joe thought to himself, he’d hired this man, without really looking into his past, his records, his mental stability, How far would GV go? Where did his breaking point lie, for all Joe knew, GV could have rigged a bomb to his car, Joe took another deep breath, before turning the key, and feeling the weight lift from his shoulders, as no bomb exploded as he turned the key, he stepped into his car, slamming the door shut, he sighed in relief once more, before checking his mirror.

Someone’s eyes glowed from the back seat of his car.

“Fuck.” Joe roared.

Smash, Joe found himself propelled forward in his seat, his head cracking off the steering wheel, and then, blackness.

Joe woke up, almost sighing with relief again, as the nightmarish dream was over. He then looked up as his blurred vision came to focus, he was still in his Mustang, only now he had blood down the front of his shirt, Blood which poured from a gash in his forehead. And Now…

Now he was handcuffed to the steering wheel.

“Shit, HELP!” Joe roared.

Joe looked to his left, and as he squinted through what was now a heavily cracked window, he saw the figure of GV once again approaching…

SMASH.

GV’s fist flew through the glass, shattering it, and hitting Joe in the face, Joe’s head snapped back as he slumped in semi-consciousness again on the steering wheel, GV was smiling, blood dripping down his fist, he took what appeared to be a large duffel bag, first removing a white towel, and wrapping it around his heavily bleeding hand. He then however removed something far more terrifying from the bag.

One can of gasoline.

Joe’s eyes widened. “What the Fuck are you doing you maniac?” Joe roared, GV was unresponsive, “Answer me you bastard! ANSWER ME!” Joe spoke more in frenzy, rather than ordering GV, who promptly gave Joe the finger, accompanied by a glare. GV walked over to the broken window, and poured the Gasoline, the scent stung Joe’s eyes, but he simply ignored it as he tried to tear himself from the steering wheel, the Gasoline soaked him, and his clothes. As he merely now resorted to screaming Help.

Silence.

Joe stopped screaming, as the lapping color of a flame caught to corner of his eye, GV stood emotionless, holding the flame out in one hand. Joe watched the flame as it danced almost tauntingly before him. GV smiled a manic smile once more, but suddenly, something happened. A hard right hand rocked GV, as the match dropped to the floor...

Tommy Gunn.

Gunn, whom from GV’s previous attack was presumed hospitalised, hit the scene, striking GV with a right hand that caused him to drop the match , which however, caught the most tiny streams of Gasoline which came from the car, suddenly, the small trail of fire began to move towards the car and Joe, Joe began to scream for help again, as the trail went under the car, emerging on the other side, sending it up in flames! Joe was now frenzied, kicking at the wheel, and all about himself, he accidentally struck the handbrake, which came off, as the car began to roll. Away from Gv and Tommy Gunn, who were still fighting a bloody brawl. Out of nowhere, Gunn hit GV with ‘The Recoil’, as both men hit the concrete, GV remained motionless, while Gunn struggled to his feet, and began to persue the flaming car, which was now rolling rather fast. Gunn reached the passenger side, and began to try and stop the car, leaning back and bracing himself. “No! Theres no time for that!” Joe shouted frantically, Gunn didn’t respond, but reached inside, and with one sudden burst of adrenaline strength from both men, Joe and Gunn tore the steering wheel out, and Gunn dragged Joe from the card, both men fell to the ground, before getting up and running in the other direction, as the car hit a tree, and exploded in such fashion that the Kansas sky became a fiery red, Gunn and Joe once again dived, narrowly avoiding the Explosion, both men looked up, as GV, was once again.

Gone.
