The Tournament Grand Slam offered a unique opportunity to stars of both the solo and duo divisions, but the celebration of combat was tainted by a revelation that rewrote the history of The Great Arena! Ares Menschlich -- Baron of War and counterpart to The Union of The Human League -- has manipulated the league to turn the people against each other, steering attentions away from the sinister machinations of his evil master, Lord Mislukking! Exposed by the born again warrior, Kron, Menschlich claims he merely exposed what was already there.
Emerging from the Grand Slam Aftermath, Kron attempts to prove the innate good that lies within the leagues finest, inspiring them to an act of selflessness. Standing beside him is Ratt, an iron willed competitor with a reputation for overcoming impossible odds, including against the ranks of the Four Barons! With two fiends unaccounted for, they welcome the surprising accompaniment of Genku and Mimik, who will put aside their pursuit of individual achievement and rivalry to take the fight back to these fiends on the Night of the Barons!
While Famine, Pestilence, War and Death face the earnest efforts of the chosen four -- the fighting league will continue as it always does. Are fights like these affirmations of Ares Menschlich's belief that the people will devour themselves before they fight the overwhelming odds of their overlords, or is there still a purity within the walls of The Great Arena, which rises up in defiance of the corruption of Supercard 6 and the War for the Kr0wn?
The_Purple_Bunny will face his own impossible odds when he takes on the very human and very unstoppable force that is Cr0w: a Champion whose reign has endured six challenges, included two complete tournament victories, and produced an unbroken win streak of twenty-four matches! Will TPB go down as win twenty-five, or is this first time contender about to make history with the biggest win of his career?
Rivalries and feuds will feature across the undercard, but September 18 will belong to eight individuals representing two factions as The Great Arena plays host to Supercard 12: Night of the Barons!
Supercard 12: Night of the Barons (September 28, 2011)
1. The_Purple_Bunny versus Cr0w (c)
The_Purple_Bunny has returned from the realm beyond, decimated his arch-nemesis, won Tournament 7, and formed one of the most electrifying new teams in the Duo Division -- but is even all of that enough to overcome the unstoppable force that is Cr0w? Enjoying a record setting twenty-four match win streak, Cr0w has reigned over the league ever since he won Tournament 5 and claimed his second Undisputed Championship! He triumphed over Tournament 8: Grand Slam [Singles], but didn't have to face the red hot Bunny along the way! It'll be a compelling first-time title match when TPB steps up as the X-Factor in the SC12 main event!
2. Kron versus Ares Menschlich (War)
It was the bombshell that changed the face of competition forever!
Kron returns from a shock elimination with the biggest secret The Great Arena has ever housed and now he wants to set things right! Born again and ready to lay it all on the line, Kron challenges Ares Menschlich -- the Baron of War who used his occult powers of influence to divide the league and distract from the rule of the evil Lord Mislukking! Menschlich says he only exposed what was already there -- a natural contempt and passion for self-interest that will condemn The Union of The Human League to inferiority forevermore. He claims no fighter is selfless enough to sacrifice their own gain to fight a losing battle against the Four Barons -- but at Supercard 12, he might just be proven wrong!
3. Genku versus Sinvida Von Grimm (Death)
Kron was taking a leap of faith when he agreed to lead the fight against the Four Barons of Mislukking! The born again warrior believed others would step up to join him in the battle, but never could have imagined that Genku would be among them! The notoriously self-centred fighter might seem an unlikely combatant to deviate from ranking battles with his peers, but the battle with "Death", Sinvida Von Grimm, will have special significance! It was back in March that Genku found himself resurrected by the Baron of Death, serving as a Revenant minion to the dark forces. It'll be a perfect opportunity for some long overdue payback as Genku joins the chosen four!
4. Mimik versus Praga Conquette (Pestilence)
Day 4 of Tournament 8: Grand Slam [Singles] produced the biggest shock upset when Vultyrex eliminated the #11 seed in the First Round! It was mere months ago that Mimik narrowly missed out on Championship contention and he knows exactly who is responsible for the reversal of fortunes! Praga Conquette is the Baroness of Pestilence and for months she has secretly spread the fatigue inducing sickness known as the Pestilence Virus! Mimik has already taken the fight to Pestilence in a string of outside battles and will formally answer Kron's call as one of the chosen four at Supercard 12!
5. Ratt versus Bez Busshitsu (Famine)
When Kron put out the call for selfless fighters brave enough to challenge the Four Barons, it was only natural that Ratt be the first man to stand tall! Beloved for his daring feats as the "Iron Man" with the never-say-die attitude, Ratt is exactly who you would expect to join the ranks of the chosen four, even with arch-rival Genku occupying another slot! Just like his fellows, Ratt will bring a personal dimension to the battle, having suffered several underhanded attacks at the hands of Bez Busshitsu, beginning at Pre-Show 3 and lasting all the way to Supercard 6! He beat the SixArmedSamurai in his Pre-Show warm-up and will sharpen focus in the hopes of doing it again at Supercard 12!
6. DECEPTION & Onryo versus Hokey & Ninja_Mime (c)
They were shock Second Round eliminations at Tournament 9: Grand Slam [Doubles], but the buddy combo of DECEPTION & Onryo still remain one of the top ranked teams of the Duo Division! A victory over SubMan799 & Casselman at Supercard 11: All-Star Summer Showdown guaranteed the pair a Duo Division Championship match at Supercard 12, and they will relish the opportunity to bounce back from the T9 disappointment, a bracket eventually won by reigning holders, Hokey & Ninja_Mime! The Charmed Champions have a phenomenal record in battle, but with only one title defense in the bank, it'll be a high stakes defense against a big time tandem!
7. Jammer2Omega versus Ghostdragon
In the past, Ghostdragon has grappled with a reputation of being unable to go the distance in the important match-ups. Partnership with Pink_Ranger earned the fighter high praise, but it was at Tournament 8: Grand Slam [Singles] that GD confirmed his long awaited arrival, fighting into the Quarter Finals of the tour! On his way, he had to claim Next Phase posterchild, Jammer2Omega, earning a hard fought victory in the Third Round! J2O will look to reclaim the stat when he meets GD in a big time T8 rematch!
8. Scott-Howell versus Murdoink
They have been fondly regarded as Great Arena originals, pioneers of the now thriving Duo Division who were there for the very first duo match, at Supercard 3! Their bond was originally formed through a rivalry, which began in Tournament 1, and culminated in a match at Pre-Show 2. Success has been elusive since the induction of the Duo Division Championships and this pressure finally took its toll on the beloved team, exploding in the Third Round of Tournament 9! Now, Scott-Howell and Murdoink are enemies once again, turning against each other for a shocking one-on-one match up that will bring to an end a fondly remembered era!
9. ElJobber versus Tyrant-Cenobite
He was the fan-favourite "conscience" of The Great Arena, but when the people began to wonder about the truth of his character, ElJobber stopped caring and started crushing! Tyrant-Cenobite claims it was he who robbed him of his Championship dreams with an assault that prevented his qualified entry into the Supercard 4: 2011 Ultimate Grand Prix Battle Royal! Fighting without answers, ElJobber's powerful defeats of queve (Pre-Show 12) and T-C (at Pre-Show 11) have only bred suspicion! With a ruthless edge that resulted in three +30 decimations in the past fortnight, it seems as if ElJobber will be fighting for his own satisfaction, rather than any attempt to expose the truth about the allegations. The simple fact may be that he really did it.
10. Blaze versus Pink_Ranger
Charging to a phenomenal 6-2 record in her debut during the Grand Slam fortnight, Blaze has quickly established herself as a name to watch in both the solo and duo divisions! As a former Duo Division Champion, Pink_Ranger has blazed a similar trail, enjoying her own success as a peripheral contender for the individual prize. With this new woman warrior looking to usurp the title of First Lady of Fights, it'll be a good old fashioned grudge match when Pink_Ranger defends her turf against the newest sensation of the Next Phase! A compelling undercard compliment to the Cr0w/The_Purple_Bunny main event!
11. ZachAngel & Angelia versus Leroy & Mark
In the past few months it has ballooned into a fierce rivalry! The fighting faithful of Team Agaper have clashed with the authority in Team Ops in several permutations, including a major Duo Division clash at Supercard 11: All-Star Summer Showdown! Now the feature pairs of ZachAngel & Angelia and Leroy & Mark will clash once more in an intriguing rematch of faction leaders! Will this be the deciding conclusion to the on-going feud, or merely a Second Act firestarter? Compelling competition sure to have ramifications within the Duo Division and beyond!
12. Toryn versus m0s
He is the arcade fire who defied incredible odds to become winner of the Daruma 7 attraction not just once -- but twice! m0s is one of the rising stars of the fighting league and a fan-favourite who has more than earned the affectionate title of "Mr. Daruma" -- which is exactly why Toryn wants to fight him! The former Undisputed Champion has found himself struggling to maintain a position within the unofficial top ten contenders, a fact that makes him none too happy about the upstart arrival of m0s! Keen to resume his longtime contender status at m0s' expense, Toryn will gladly embody everything Ares Menschlich professes in a highly charged grudge bout!
13. Ken versus TonyTheTiger
He was the ultimate opportunist, always looking for a backdoor into the top ten contenders, but at Tournament 7, TonyTheTiger found his claws! Transformed from scavanger to predator, TTT has risen through the ranks, delivering punishment at every turn as he fights his way to legitimacy as a top contender! Ken knows what it's like to be at the top and in recent months, has undertaken a phenomenal effort to hold on to his peripheral position! In a reversal of roles, Ken will attempt to consolidate his position, taking on the Tournament 8 Quarter Finalist in a highly intriguing match-up!
14. CaTigeReptile versus Porygonix
It was during the Fourth Round of Tournament 8: Grand Slam [Singles] that the student surpassed the master, Porygonix achieving a shock upset win against friend and ally, Kron! Trumped by #6 seed, Ninja_Mime, in the Third Round of the tournament; CaTigeReptile continues to struggle her way back to the good graces of the unofficial top ten! Well matched against the upstart, Porygonix will provide the perfect opportunity as two of the outsider majors duke it out with reputations on the line!
The Grand Slam Aftermath is officially ended as The Great Arena writes a new chapter in the saga of man v baron! Kron leads the charge against Ares Menschlich and his fellows, while Championships go on the line in a separate test of individual wills and the grander philosophy of the fight! Who will reign supreme?!
September 18 is the moment when the people fight back! Supercard 12: Night of the Barons will feature The_Purple_Bunny as he attempts to repel the unstoppable force of Tournament 8 winner, Cr0w! Tournament 9 winners and Duo Division Champions, Hokey & Ninja_Mime, will face a similar test when they defend against DECEPTION & Onryo -- PLUS! An era ends when Scott-Howell takes on former-partner Murdoink; ElJobber seeks MAX damage when he meets Tyrant-Cenobite once again; and Ghostdragon faces the acid test of a rematch withJammer2Omega! Don't miss it!
