PPV: Reindeer Games (The Battle of the Five Armies)


The show commenced with the ring lit with multi-coloured lights—hues of red, white, and green to highlight the upcoming holidays. Taya stands within the centre, a table in front of her with a black cloth covering a pair of objects underneath. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to PCW’s Battle of Five Armies pay-per-view! Tonight is about the accumulation of all the talents’ hard work. Tonight we celebrate a year of PCW. Furthermore, we celebrate new beginnings because tonight, every championship match will be for brand new titles. Speaking of new championships...”
Taya looks down at the table in front of her and smiles. She snatched the cloth off to reveal the tag team championships. “The Dual Phoenix Championships... Titles that have started to collect a bit of dust because never has PCW been big enough for tag teams. I think now we’ve evolved enough to where these babies can be wrapped around two people’s waist, held by people who define what partnership and collaboration truly is. I suggest you start finding partners, kids because the race to be the first champions has begun. Enjoy the show.”

She slings Hania’s head into the building again and again until blood smears the wall. Indigo tries to check on her, but Priscilla gripped her arm so tight it left a mark. Hania chose to fight and she had to suffer the consequences. Indigo watched as her friend was rag dolled onto the pavement near the building. Hania was on her last leg, literally and figuratively. The woman could barely stand, but she kept trying and trying until O’Hara had enough. She dragged the wolf to the open grave, the casket beckoning someone to fall in. Corvus and Vipress backed off, putting their masks on once more as Harlow lifted Hania’s lifeless body up high. Indigo snatched away from Priscilla and ran full speed for her friend, but Vipress kicked her down hard.

She shut the lid and commanded Corvus and Vipress to release the other two. Indigo was still down and Priscilla came to her aid. She watched as Harlow’s smile widened. She wasn’t done. Corvus approached the priestess and handed her a match as Vipress kicked half-empty jugs of gas behind the building onto the casket. “That wasn’t part of the deal!” Priscilla screamed. She looked to stop them, but Harlow sparked the match and flung it onto the casket. It went up in flames, smoke filling the air quickly. All three vanished into the night as Priscilla screamed for help. Indigo watched, unable to move, as the red-orange hues burned brightly against the night sky.
