Smoke rises

Steel Angel?

Did you really think my monster would fall so easily?

Or did you forget that a war is not won through merely just one battle?

Steel Angel raising his hands in victory last week as he defeated the large newcomer to the IWF Masque

You underestimated my monster Shemamora

And met your fate

even within victory.

Masque tombstones Steel Angel as it is shown in different angles as the screen changes in the eerie black and white effect.

Even though a loss is a loss written upon paper,

who truly lost that night Angel?

Who was left lying motionless

in the middle of the ring?

The mysterious man stands over the seemingly lifeless body of Steel Angel, staring at him with his dark emotionless eyes.


This week my dark assassin recieves a gift of sorts.

Unlike you Yuko, the officials have scouted Masque very well.

Gentlemen you have been far far to kind.

Masque shall enjoy this token of the IWF

Two for the price of one.

As Rydell and Ninja meet the same fate as Yuko and the silver spoon has before them.

Both Steel Angel and Anthony Royal are laying motionless after recieving a tombstone piledriver by the monster known as Masque.

But this time Yuko I hope you pay attention

and see what twenty plus years experience of delivering pain and destruction

can do to you Shemamora.

Stills of Masque's past rapidly pass across the screen, as he is fighting his foes, growing smaller until there is only darkness. The camera zooms out and we come to find that the darkness is the cold emotionless stare of the man who stands behind the steel mask.

Let the games begin.
