Cruz vs. Akane: The Aftermath

Cruz falls to his knees in exhaustion after leaving it all in the ring to defeat Marcus Akane. The crowd is on their feet, applauding the effort and Cruz turns his head to watch as the referee helps Akane to his feet. The two men lock eyes, then Cruz sticks out his hand in an offer for a shake. The crowd goes nuts, frantically calling for Akane to shake his hand--the cherry on the top to this fantastic display.

Akane looks around him at the adoring masses--both disappointed in the loss yet proud of the fight he put up. Finally, he accepts the handshake to the delight of the crowd who cheer even louder. The two men nod at each other, a mutual respect borne from the hell they put each other through.

That’s when a portal opens up through which Kurasuke appears.

Mr. Akane, you fight with such heart...such honor, and everybody here can see that. Even in defeat you are still loved because people in CMV appreciate when a man is genuine and doesn’t let his heart grow cold and black. Tonight, you and Leo Cruz pushed each other to the very limits in a battle where only pride was on the line. But I don’t want things to end here.

I think we can accomplish something great, but not as enemies. No. The snake is only lethal when every piece of it is attached. So we must fight together. As one. Leo Cruz and Marcus Akane, an alliance for the ages. Respect in this industry rarer than finding a four-leaf clover, yet here in this ring it can be found in spades. I believe that Leo Cruz and Akane will be remembered as the most fantastic duo ever, much like the Valley Cats.

All that’s stopping it from happening is you, Mr. Akane.

Akane pauses looking around the at the fans in attendance as a 'YES!' chant starts to spread across the whole arena.

Crowd

YES! YES! YES! YES!

Grabbing a mic from ringside Akane paces around the ring before speaking.

Akane

All my life I have strived to be the best, through thick and thin I dug down deep and fought to get here, maybe the events that transpired in the past brought me here for this one reason; maybe not... But all I know is that the past no longer matters... What i need to be looking at is the future.

Akane holds his head up high as the crowd cheer once more.

Kurasuke... I accept your offer and Cruz, together we will take the tag team division by storm and we will be great.

The crowd cheers as Akane shakes hands with Kurasuke and Cruz as Unmatched goes to a commercial break.
