(Black screen. The sound of a heavy book opening. A candle ignites. Ink creeps across parchment like it’s alive.)
(A choir hums low. A single bell tolls.)
Voice-over (smooth, ominous):
“Once upon a time… they told you monsters weren’t real.”
(beat)
“Here… they win matches.”
(The words burn into the screen like a cursed fairytale title card.)
NPCW: DARK FABLE
Voice-over:
“This is the MYTHIC Division.”
“Welcome… to DARK FABLE.”
SIGNATURE MONTAGE
1) Universal Tag Champions — Hans Trapp & Knecht Ruprecht
(Torchlight. Two silhouettes. Titles glint like weapons.)
Hans Trapp and Knecht Ruprecht stalk to the ring—then a violent cut: a ruthless, synchronized finish. One holds the opponent in place; the other strikes like judgment. They raise the belts slowly, not celebrating—claiming.
2) Sandman
(An hourglass spills sand upward.)
Sandman snaps into motion—cold precision. A sudden, nightmare-fast impact drops his opponent. He stands still as the camera jitters, like reality itself is afraid to focus on him.
3) Frankenstein’s Monster
(Lightning flash. Thunder hit.)
Frankenstein’s Monster absorbs shots that should end anyone—then surges forward and crushes a foe with a catastrophic slam. The ring shakes. The crowd reacts like they’ve seen a myth step off the page.
4) Robin Hood
(A streak like an arrow across the screen transitions the shot.)
Robin Hood slips a strike by inches and counters with surgical speed—clean, heroic, efficient. He points straight into the hard cam, as if calling his next target.
5) Hansel
(Breadcrumbs scatter across the canvas—then dissolve into smoke.)
Hansel fights like someone who learned survival the hard way—quick hands, sharper instincts. A sudden finishing burst flips the match in a heartbeat.
6) Snow White
(Soft light… then a hard snap to impact.)
Snow White shows heart and grit—turning a moment of danger into a clean counter and decisive strike. The fairy tale isn’t fragile here. It fights.
7) Lady Frost, Snow Queen
(Sound drops out. Breath fogs the air.)
Lady Frost moves with chilling control—elegant, merciless. A slick takedown into a finishing hold—she tightens it slowly, eyes calm as winter.
8) Gretel
(A childlike melody warps into something darker.)
Gretel explodes with intensity—fast, determined, ruthless when it counts. She drives through a final sequence like she’s escaping a trap.
(Choir rises. War drums join. The arena looks like a cathedral of combat under dark lighting.)
Voice-over:
“This isn’t the North.”
“This isn’t the light.”
“In DARK FABLE… the story doesn’t end happily.”
(beat)
“It ends… with a winner.”
“This… is DARK FABLE.”
The camera sweeps across Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum.
Torchlight burns along the ancient stone walls. Crimson banners hang from the rafters like war standards. The crowd is already on its feet — not festive… anticipating battle.
Several clusters of supporters dominate the arena tonight.
One section is draped in deep royal blue banners bearing the sigil of Camelot. Fans wave shields and replica swords. A massive banner reads:
“THE KING RETURNS.”
Another sign simply reads:
“ARTHUR STANDS.”
Elsewhere, a louder and more chaotic energy rises from a corner filled with forest-green shirts displaying a stylized bow and arrow.
A huge hand-painted sign reads:
“STEAL FROM TYRANTS.”
Another:
“SHERWOOD RIDES TONIGHT.”
And a group of fans dressed in cloaks chant proudly as they wave banners reading:
“THE MERRY BAND.”
Nearby, a different section shows unwavering loyalty to Camelot’s unlikely defenders.
Three large posters show the familiar trio side-by-side.
Lion.
Scarecrow.
Tin Man.
Fans hold signs reading:
“COURAGE.”
“BRAIN.”
“HEART.”
The crowd begins chanting:
“CAME-LOT!
CAME-LOT!
CAME-LOT!”
But another roar suddenly drowns them out.
A loud section of the crowd dressed in black and steel gray shirts raises their fists into the air.
Across several signs the message is unmistakable:
“NO HEROES.”
“JUST JACK.”
And in massive block letters:
“MEAN JACK MASON.”
The Universal Champion’s supporters are loud, defiant, and unapologetic.
Finally, a brighter pocket of supporters erupts with cheers as the camera finds a group of fans wearing white shirts with a crimson apple insignia.
Hand-painted signs wave overhead:
“FAIRYTALES FIGHT BACK.”
“SNOW WHITE.”
A little girl on her father’s shoulders holds up a handmade sign reading:
“QUEEN OF THE NORTH… NEXT.”
The energy inside Camelot Coliseum rises as the camera settles at the broadcast desk.
Julian Ward:
“Good evening. We are live inside Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum for another chapter of NPCW Dark Fable.”
Julian folds his hands calmly on the desk.
“Last week reminded us that victory inside the Mythic Division does not bring peace… it invites greater trials.”
Behind them, a replay package begins rolling.
Sinbad driving Kong into the canvas with the Hammerlock DDT.
Julian Ward:
“Sinbad defeated Kong in a brutal contest… but his challenge to Frankenstein’s Monster came with a heavy cost.”
The replay shifts to Monster’s Bash storming the ring and the devastating Chokeslam that left Sinbad motionless.
Brick Brody:
“Yeah he wanted the monster’s attention, Julian.”
Brick leans forward slightly.
“Well congratulations… he got it.”
The footage changes again.
Sir Agravaine twisting Takuma Ryujin into the Modified Cloverleaf.
Takuma tapping.
The Eternal Flame Championship raised high.
Julian Ward:
“The Broken Crown captured its first championship when Sir Agravaine defeated Takuma Ryujin for the Eternal Flame Title.”
Brick Brody:
“And tonight Takuma gets his rematch.”
A beat.
“But after everything that happened last week… that thing’s gonna be a war.”
Julian nods slightly.
“And tonight’s card promises no fewer trials.”
A graphic appears on screen.

The arena explodes with noise.
Julian Ward:
“In our main event tonight… the Universal Champion Mean Jack Mason steps into non-title competition against Lion.”
Brick Brody:
“And Lion’s got courage… I’ll give him that.”
Brick smirks.
“But courage might not be enough when Jack Mason’s across the ring.”
Julian looks toward the ring as the torchlight intensifies.
Julian Ward:
“In Dark Fable… every match is a trial.”
A single bell toll echoes through the Coliseum.
Julian Ward:
“And tonight… the trials begin.”
The camera cuts to the ring as Louie Linville steps through the ropes.
Torchlight flares brighter.
Segment transitions to Match 1.
Entrances & Introductions
Torchlight dims across Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum as a deep serpent-like hiss echoes through the arena.
A cold green glow spills across the stage.
Serpenta Veyne appears first.
Tall. Regal. Dangerous.
Her eyes scan the crowd like a predator surveying prey.
Behind her emerge the Monsters of Myth.
Hydra Veyne walks first — powerful and composed, muscles coiled like a striking serpent.
Beside her comes Medussa Nemesis, her presence darker… colder… eyes fixed on the ring with unblinking intensity.
Julian Ward:
“Serpenta Veyne has assembled one of the most dangerous alliances in the Mythic Division.”
Brick Brody:
“Yeah and they’re not here to win matches, Julian.”
He scoffs.
“They’re here to hurt people.”
Hydra and Medussa step into the ring slowly as Serpenta circles ringside like a queen observing a hunt.
The lights shift.
Emerald and gold flare across the arena.
The crowd erupts.
Lark of Sherwood bursts onto the stage with explosive energy.
Moments later Maid Marion follows — focused and determined, nodding once toward her partner.
Julian Ward:
“Sherwood’s defenders have proven repeatedly that courage and unity can stand against darker forces.”
Brick Brody:
“Yeah but courage doesn’t make monsters disappear.”
Lark and Marion slide into the ring and stand side-by-side.
Louie Linville steps forward.
Louie Linville:
“The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall… with no time limit!”
A dramatic turn.
“Introducing first… accompanied by Serpenta Veyne… Hydra Veyne… and Medussa Nemesis…”
He gestures sharply.
“THE MONSTERS OF MYTH!”
Another pivot.
“And their opponents… Lark of Sherwood… and Maid Marion!”

He smirks.
“Which means somebody’s getting punished later.”
Julian Ward:
“But tonight… Sherwood stands tall.”
The camera lingers on Lark and Marion celebrating as Serpenta drags the furious monsters away.
Torchlight flickers across the arena.
The broadcast transitions to the next segment.
The camera cuts away from the arena floor to a small stage set up along the upper concourse of Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum.
The set is unmistakably Slick Ricky Vega.
Neon lights blaze in lurid pink and electric blue. A flickering sign above the stage reads:
“RICKY ON THE ROPES”
The font screams 1980s Las Vegas casino marquee — flashing bulbs chasing each other around the letters.
A velvet rope lines the front of the stage like a nightclub entrance. Behind Ricky sits a glittering bar cart stacked with empty champagne glasses and fake gold records.
But the Dark Fable influence is unmistakable.
Instead of slot machines, stone gargoyles glare from the corners of the set. Torchlight burns behind them. The neon glow reflects off dark iron banners etched with mythic sigils.
A disco ball spins overhead…
…but it’s shaped like a skull.
At the center stands Slick Ricky Vega.
Wide black lapels. A deep crimson shirt unbuttoned too far. A massive gold chain. His tie is wider than a sword blade and patterned with lightning bolts.
He dabs sweat from his forehead with a silk handkerchief before flashing a grin toward the camera.
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Ladies and gentlemen, mythic creatures and midnight rockstars… welcome to the hottest interview segment in the history of professional wrestling…”
He spreads his arms dramatically.
“Ricky… on… the ROPES!”
He spins toward the stage entrance.
“Tonight we’re talking to a trio of dangerous divas who just came out of one wicked war in the ring.”
He adjusts his oversized sunglasses.
“And believe me, baby… these ladies don’t exactly take losing well.”
The lighting shifts to a sickly emerald hue.
A hissing sound echoes through the arena.
First comes Serpenta Veyne.
Her cobra-hooded cape spreads wide as she walks onto the stage, eyes cold and calculating.
Behind her stalks Hydra Veyne — pacing restlessly like a chained beast barely under control.
Finally emerges Medussa Nemesis.
Her serpent headpiece glints under the lights, her gaze icy and unblinking as she stares directly into the camera.
The crowd boos loudly.
Ricky gives a theatrical whistle.
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Well well well… the Venom Vixens of Mythos have arrived.”
He gestures dramatically toward Medussa.
“The Stone-Eyed Serpent herself… Medussa Nemesis.”
Then to Hydra.
“The Many-Headed Fury… Hydra Veyne.”
Finally he bows slightly toward Serpenta.
“And the Queen Cobra of this venomous rock band… Serpenta Veyne.”
He grins.
“Ladies… tough night out there.”
The crowd cheers loudly at that remark.
Ricky tilts his head.
“You came into tonight looking to crush Sherwood’s finest… but instead Lark and Maid Marion just pinned Medussa Nemesis in the middle of the ring.”
A pause.
Ricky shrugs dramatically.
“So the question everybody’s asking tonight…”
He leans forward slightly.
“Where do the Monsters of Myth go from here?”
Serpenta slowly steps forward.
Her voice is soft.
Venomous.
Serpenta Veyne:
“Where do we go?”
She smirks faintly.
“We go exactly where we have always gone.”
Her eyes narrow toward the camera.
“Forward.”
Hydra Veyne paces behind her like a restless predator.
Hydra Veyne:
“Loss… win… loss… win…”
Her voice sounds almost fractured.
Like overlapping echoes.
“Cut one head… two grow back.”
She tilts her head suddenly.
“We do not stop.”
Ricky raises his eyebrows dramatically.
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Oooo baby… poetic AND violent.”
He fans himself with a cue card.
“But let’s talk reality here, rockstars.”
He gestures back toward the arena.
“You’ve been trading wins and losses for weeks.”
“You strike.”
“You dominate.”
“And then something happens.”
He points upward.
“Sherwood gets lucky.”
“Camelot interferes.”
“Or the referee suddenly grows eyeballs.”
The crowd laughs loudly.
Ricky smirks.
“So tell me… are the Monsters of Myth stuck spinning their wheels in the Mythic Division?”
Serpenta’s expression darkens instantly.
She steps closer.
Serpenta Veyne:
“Luck?”
She laughs softly.
“That match ended because one moment slipped through our grasp.”
Her eyes flash.
“Do you know what serpents do when prey escapes?”
Ricky slowly shakes his head.
Serpenta smiles.
“They hunt again.”
Medussa finally steps forward.
The arena falls quiet.
Her gaze locks onto the camera.
Unblinking.
She slowly raises one hand and mimics the motion of turning something to stone.
Medussa Nemesis:
“Sherwood believes tonight was victory.”
Her voice is calm.
Cold.
“They are mistaken.”
She tilts her head slightly.
“Tonight was a warning.”
The crowd murmurs uneasily.
Medussa continues.
“One day soon…”
“…they will look into my eyes.”
She pauses.
“And they will never move again.”
Ricky gives an exaggerated shiver.
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Whoa… icy vibes, baby.”
He turns toward Hydra.
“So Hydra… you’re the chaos engine of this crew.”
“You’re the many-headed monster.”
“What happens when somebody cuts one of those heads off?”
Hydra’s expression twists into a grin.
Hydra Veyne:
“More heads.”
She spreads her arms slightly.
“More violence.”
She leans toward the camera.
“And eventually…”
“…no survivors.”
Serpenta raises one hand calmly, signaling Hydra to step back.
She turns toward Ricky.
Serpenta Veyne:
“The Mythic Division believes we are faltering.”
She smiles slowly.
“Let them believe that.”
Her voice lowers.
“Because the greatest poison…”
“…is the one no one sees coming.”
Ricky raises his eyebrows again.
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
He adjusts his jacket dramatically.
“I think the Monsters of Myth just promised a sequel.”
He points toward the camera.
“And if history tells us anything…”
He smirks.
“Serpents always strike twice.”
Serpenta, Hydra, and Medussa slowly turn and walk away from the neon-lit stage as the green lighting fades.
The crowd boos loudly.
Ricky turns back to the camera.
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Stick around, my mythic maniacs.”
He flashes a grin.
“Because Dark Fable’s just getting warmed up.”
The camera fades out as torchlight flickers behind the Vegas-style set.
Entrances & Introductions
Torchlight flickers across the stone walls of Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum as the arena falls into a tense hush.
A dark orchestral theme echoes through the building.
From the shadows emerges Sir Agravaine.
The Eternal Flame Championship rests over his shoulder.
Cold. Composed. Ruthless.
He walks toward the ring like a knight marching into a battlefield he already believes he has won.
Julian Ward:
“Last week Sir Agravaine captured the Eternal Flame Championship by defeating Takuma Ryujin in a brutal contest.”
Brick Brody:
“And tonight he has to prove it wasn’t a fluke.”
Agravaine enters the ring and raises the championship briefly before handing it to the referee.

Focused.
Determined.

The crowd responds with a mixture of boos and stunned silence.

“Sir Agravaine has done it again. Two consecutive victories over Takuma Ryujin.”
Brick Brody:
“And he didn’t steal it, Julian. He beat him straight up.”
Across the ring, Agravaine steps onto the turnbuckle and raises the championship again.
His expression remains cold.
Satisfied.
Julian Ward:
“The Broken Crown continues to strengthen its hold over the Mythic Division.”
Agravaine slowly exits the ring, never once looking back at the fallen challenger.
Inside the ring, Takuma finally pulls himself to his feet with Ayame’s help.
The crowd applauds respectfully.
Takuma bows slightly toward the audience before stepping through the ropes.
Ayame places a steadying hand on his shoulder as they begin walking toward the back.
The camera follows them up the ramp.
Takuma moves slowly, clearly battered from the battle.
Suddenly—
A violent roar erupts from the crowd.
From the side of the stage RAIGEN of the Blood Oni Syndicate explodes into frame.
He blindsides Takuma Ryujin with a brutal running forearm, smashing him into the steel barricade.
The arena erupts in outrage.
Julian Ward:
“Raigen! Raigen attacking Takuma again!”
Raigen grabs Takuma by the hair and hurls him violently into the barricade a second time.
Lady Ayame rushes forward trying to pull him away.
Raigen shoves her aside.
He lifts Takuma and drives him face-first into the ramp.
Brick Brody:
“This guy just won’t leave him alone!”
Raigen screams in Takuma’s face.
Raigen:
“YOU ARE WEAK!”
He raises his fist—
—but before he can strike again, security floods down the ramp.
Officials and guards swarm Raigen, grabbing his arms and dragging him backward.
Raigen thrashes violently, trying to break free.
Raigen:
“THE BLOOD ONI WILL FINISH YOU!”
Takuma slowly pushes himself up with the help of Lady Ayame.
She steadies him carefully.
Her expression remains calm — but her eyes burn with fury.
Julian Ward:
“Takuma Ryujin has already fought through one brutal match tonight… and now he’s forced to endure this.”
Brick Brody:
“Raigen isn’t sending a message anymore, Julian.”
He leans forward.
“He’s declaring war.”
Security drags Raigen toward the back as he continues shouting threats.
Takuma, bruised and exhausted, bows slightly to the audience again.
Lady Ayame supports him as they slowly walk up the ramp together.
The camera lingers on the champion’s challenger disappearing backstage.
Julian Ward:
“The Eternal Flame may still belong to Sir Agravaine… but another battle may be forming tonight.”
The camera cuts briefly to Raigen struggling in the arms of security, still screaming toward the ramp.
Fade out.
Entrances & Introductions
The torchlight inside Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum dims again.
A cold wind sound echoes through the arena.
Frost spreads across the stage screens.
A haunting orchestral melody begins.
Lady Frost, the Snow Queen emerges first.
She moves with icy elegance, every step deliberate, her silver and sapphire attire glimmering beneath the lights.
Behind her skips the erratic Mad Hatter, teacup in hand, waving wildly at the crowd while muttering nonsense.
Julian Ward:
“Lady Frost carries herself like winter incarnate. Cold. Unforgiving.”
Brick Brody:
“And she brought that lunatic with her again.”
Mad Hatter spins around ringside, pretending to pour tea for fans before bowing theatrically.
Lady Frost steps into the ring and raises her arms slowly as if commanding a blizzard.
The lights suddenly change.
Soft chimes echo.
A radiant white glow appears on the stage.
Snow White emerges to a thunderous ovation.
Her posture is determined, her expression focused.
This is not the fairy tale princess of storybooks.
This is a warrior.
Julian Ward:
“Snow White has steadily risen through the Mythic Division with resilience and courage.”
Brick Brody:
“And tonight she’s staring down the Snow Queen.”
Snow White enters the ring and locks eyes with Lady Frost.
The tension is immediate.
Louie Linville steps forward.
Louie Linville:
“The following contest is scheduled for one fall… with no time limit!”
He gestures.
“Introducing first… accompanied by Mad Hatter… Lady Frost… the Snow Queen!”
A pivot.
“And her opponent… Snow White!”
Linville exits.
Referee Slow-Count Sam signals for the bell.
The bell rings.
Minute 1
Snow White strikes first, spinning into the Enchanted Whirl (Tornado DDT) that spikes Lady Frost headfirst into the mat.

“A rapid exchange to begin this contest.”
Brick Brody:
“Yeah and neither one blinked. They went straight for each other.”
Minute 2
Snow White explodes forward with the Thorn Crown Driver (Spike DDT), planting the Snow Queen violently.

“This match is turning into a sprint.”
Minute 3
Snow White traps Frost in the Seven Lock Curse, wrenching her arm and shoulder in the painful submission hold.
Suddenly—
At ringside, Mad Hatter flings a cup of steaming tea directly into Snow White’s face.

Julian Ward:
“Mad Hatter interfering again!”
Brick Brody:
“That idiot just blinded her!”
Minute 4
Despite the distraction, Snow White rallies and launches Lady Frost with the Gilded Grip, flowing smoothly into an armbar.

The impact shakes the ring.
Julian Ward:
“A brutal counter from the Snow Queen.”
Brick Brody:
“That move nearly ended it.”
Minute 6

But Frost answers instantly with another Somersault Senton on the floor.
Both women collapse outside the ring.
Referee Slow-Count Sam begins counting.

Snow White rises slowly in the ring, still wiping tea from her eyes.
Mad Hatter screams in protest at ringside while trying to drag Lady Frost back toward the ring.
Julian Ward:
“Snow White survives the chaos and earns the victory tonight.”
Brick Brody:
“Lady Frost lost because she stayed down too long.”
Snow White raises her arms to the cheering crowd.
Julian Ward:
“Another impressive victory for Snow White here in Dark Fable.”
The camera lingers on Snow White standing tall in the center of the ring as Mad Hatter rants furiously beside the recovering Snow Queen.
Torchlight flickers across the arena.
House of the Dragon’s Veil
The camera fades in backstage inside the stone corridors of Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum.
Torchlight flickers against the ancient walls.
Standing with microphone in hand is Hana Nakamura.
Beside her stand three members of the House of the Dragon’s Veil.
Lady Ayame Ryu stands calmly at the center, her fan folded in one hand. Her posture is elegant, composed.
To her right stands Takuma Ryujin, still bruised from his recent championship match. His ribs remain taped beneath his gear.
To Ayame’s left stands Sayaka Mizuhana, silent but alert, arms folded and eyes sharp.
Hana turns toward the camera.
Hana Nakamura:
“Ladies and gentlemen… I am joined right now by members of the House of the Dragon’s Veil — Lady Ayame Ryu, Takuma Ryujin, and Sayaka Mizuhana.”
She turns toward Takuma.
“Takuma… earlier tonight you fought a grueling rematch for the Eternal Flame Championship against Sir Agravaine.”
A brief pause.
“But once again… after the match you were attacked by the Blood Oni Syndicate.”
The crowd watching on the arena screen murmurs.
Hana continues carefully.
“This has now happened several times over the past few weeks.”
She looks directly at Takuma.
“What do you say to Raigen and the Blood Oni Syndicate?”
Takuma breathes slowly before answering.
His voice is steady.
Takuma Ryujin:
“Raigen…”
He pauses.
“Your anger has grown beyond control.”
A beat.
He glances briefly toward Hana.
“Hana… your brother walks a dangerous path.”
The tension in the corridor thickens.
Hana’s expression tightens slightly, but she remains professional.
Takuma Ryujin:
“Strength without discipline becomes destruction.”
He shakes his head slowly.
“And Raigen has forgotten discipline.”
Sayaka Mizuhana steps forward slightly.
Sayaka Mizuhana:
“The Blood Oni call themselves warriors.”
Her tone sharpens.
“But warriors do not attack from shadows like thieves.”
Suddenly—
A slow clap echoes through the corridor.
The camera pans.
From the darkness emerges Lord Kurogami.
He walks slowly into the torchlight, his cane resting lightly against the stone floor with each step.
Behind him stand the members of the Blood Oni Syndicate.
Raigen — eyes burning with fury.
And beside him, silent and ghostlike—
Yurei Rinn.
The air in the corridor turns tense.
Lord Kurogami stops several paces away.
His voice is quiet.
Controlled.
Lord Kurogami:
“Discipline.”
He nods slightly.
“A beautiful word.”
His gaze moves calmly between Takuma and Ayame.
“But discipline is only useful… when it leads to victory.”
A pause.
“Otherwise it becomes… ceremony.”
Raigen steps forward, glaring at Takuma.
Raigen:
“You talk about discipline?”
He points at Takuma.
“You lost.”
The corridor grows louder as both sides step closer.
Sayaka moves beside Takuma.
Lady Ayame opens her fan slowly.
Lady Ayame Ryu:
“Raigen.”
Her voice is calm.
Measured.
“A storm that rages without direction only destroys the land it was born from.”
Raigen laughs harshly.
Raigen:
“I’m not a storm.”
He steps closer.
“I’m the end of one.”
Lord Kurogami raises one finger.
Raigen stops.
Kurogami speaks again.
Lord Kurogami:
“The river has chosen its course.”
He tilts his head slightly toward Takuma.
“You believe Raigen has lost control.”
A pause.
“You are mistaken.”
His eyes narrow slightly.
“He has found purpose.”
The tension between the two factions grows heavier.
Sayaka steps forward.
Sayaka Mizuhana:
“If that is purpose…”
Her voice sharpens.
“Then we will end it.”
Raigen steps forward immediately.
The two factions are now nearly face to face.
The moment feels ready to explode—
Suddenly a voice cuts through the corridor.
Alton Bell:
“That will be enough.”
The General Manager steps into frame.
Security stands just behind him.
The tension freezes instantly.
Alton studies both groups carefully.
Alton Bell:
“Every week this conflict grows louder.”
A pause.
“Every week it becomes more disruptive.”
He folds his hands calmly.
“So next week… we will settle part of it.”
The crowd watching on the arena screens begins to cheer.
Alton gestures toward Takuma and Raigen.
Alton Bell:
“Next week on Dark Fable…”
“Takuma Ryujin… versus Raigen.”
The crowd erupts.
Raigen smirks.
Takuma nods once.
Alton turns toward Sayaka and Yurei.
“And if the Blood Oni wish to continue testing the House of the Dragon’s Veil…”
He gestures again.
“Then Sayaka Mizuhana will face Yurei Rinn.”
The crowd reacts loudly again.
Sayaka nods calmly.
Yurei tilts her head slightly, expression unreadable.
Lord Kurogami gives a slow approving nod.
Lord Kurogami:
“The storm approaches.”
He taps his cane once against the floor.
“This was always inevitable.”
Raigen grins and points at Takuma.
Raigen:
“Next week… I finish you.”
Lady Ayame closes her fan.
Her expression remains serene.
Lady Ayame Ryu:
“A dragon does not fear thunder.”
She looks calmly toward Raigen.
“It has already learned to fly through storms.”
Alton Bell gestures to security.
The two factions slowly separate.
The Blood Oni Syndicate disappears down the corridor.
Takuma watches them go.
The camera lingers on the calm face of Lady Ayame.
Fade out.
Entrances & Introductions
The torches around Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum burn brighter as the arena shifts into anticipation.
A dark warlike theme echoes through the arena.
From the entrance emerges Mordred.
His black armor gleams beneath the firelight. His expression is cold and full of contempt.
He pauses at the top of the ramp and slowly surveys the crowd like a conqueror examining territory he intends to claim.
Julian Ward:
“Mordred represents the ambition and cruelty of the Broken Crown.”
Brick Brody:
“And tonight he wants to make an example out of Robin Hood.”
Mordred steps into the ring and removes his cloak with a sharp motion.
The arena lights suddenly shift.
Forest horns echo.
The crowd erupts.
Robin Hood appears on the stage.
He raises his bow to the crowd and receives a thunderous ovation.
Behind him briefly appear members of the Merry Band—Friar Tuck, Little John, Maid Marion and Lark—cheering him forward before heading backstage.
Julian Ward:
“Robin Hood has become one of the most beloved figures in the Mythic Division.”
Brick Brody:
“Yeah but tonight he’s facing a guy who doesn’t care about cheers.”
Robin enters the ring and locks eyes with Mordred.
Louie Linville steps forward.
Louie Linville:
“The following contest is scheduled for one fall!”
He gestures.
“Introducing first… representing the Broken Crown… MORDRED!”
The crowd boos loudly.
“And his opponent… representing Sherwood Forest… ROBIN HOOD!”
The crowd erupts again.
As the bell is about to ring—
Julian suddenly pauses.
Julian Ward:
“Wait a moment…”
The camera pans upward.
High in the dark rafters above the arena…
A cloaked figure stands silently.
Myridden.
Watching.
Motionless.
Brick Brody:
“Well that can’t be good.”
The bell rings.
Minute 1
Robin barely takes two steps forward before Mordred explodes across the ring with a devastating Spear, driving him violently into the canvas.

“He’s not intimidated by Mordred at all.”
Minute 3

“He’s trying to slow Robin down.”

Julian Ward:
“A huge counter from Robin Hood!”
Brick Brody:
“He needed that.”
Minute 5

“Pin attempt after pin attempt!”
Brick Brody:
“They’re scrambling for control!”
Minute 6
Robin regains momentum with a powerful German Suplex, launching Mordred across the ring.

“Mordred regaining the upper hand.”
Brick Brody:
“He’s grinding Robin down piece by piece.”
Minute 8

The crowd erupts.
Mordred struggles desperately.
Julian Ward:
“Robin Hood has the Sharpshooter locked in!”
Brick Brody:
“Mordred’s trapped!”
Mordred claws toward the ropes…
But the pressure becomes too much.
He slams his hand against the mat.
He submits.
The bell rings.

Robin releases the hold and rises to his feet as the crowd erupts in cheers.

Julian Ward:
“Robin Hood has defeated Mordred!”
Brick Brody:
“And Mordred tapped out.”
Robin raises his arm to the cheering crowd.
The camera cuts upward.
High above the arena—
Myridden watches the ring with clear disgust.
He shakes his head slowly.
Then disappears back into the shadows of the rafters.
Back in the ring—
Mordred sits up, seething with anger.
He slams his fist into the mat in frustration.
Julian Ward:
“Myridden clearly unimpressed with what he saw tonight.”
Brick Brody:
“And Mordred is going to be furious about that.”
The camera lingers on Mordred glaring toward the rafters as the crowd celebrates Robin Hood’s victory.
Fade out.
Entrances & Introductions
The lights inside Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum dim.
A slow, eerie lullaby begins to echo through the arena.
A faint mist crawls across the stage.
From the darkness emerges Sandman.
His movements are slow and unsettling, almost dreamlike. He carries a small pouch of shimmering dust that glitters beneath the torchlight.
The crowd reacts with uneasy murmurs.
Julian Ward:
“Sandman has become one of the most unpredictable competitors in the Mythic Division.”
Brick Brody:
“That guy doesn’t wrestle matches, Julian… he stalks people.”
Sandman slides silently into the ring and crouches in the corner, staring blankly toward the entrance ramp.
Then the arena changes.
Trumpets sound.
Golden light floods the stage.
The crowd erupts.
King Arthur steps forward clad in regal armor.
Beside him walks Merlin, staff in hand and robes flowing behind him.

“The King of Camelot enters battle tonight.”

“And he brought the wizard with him.”

Mythic Crown Championship Fallout
The camera cuts backstage to another torchlit corridor inside Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum.
Standing in front of a stone archway is Hana Nakamura, microphone in hand.
Beside her stand two imposing figures.
The Mythic Crown Champion — Frankenstein’s Monster.
And the man responsible for his creation and guidance…
Dr. Victor Frankenstein.
The championship belt rests across the Monster’s massive shoulder.
The creature stands silent, towering and unmoving, his heavy breathing the only sound coming from him.
Dr. Frankenstein adjusts his dark coat and offers a thin, confident smile toward the camera.
Hana Nakamura:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am joined right now by the Mythic Crown Champion Frankenstein’s Monster… and the man responsible for bringing him into this world… Dr. Victor Frankenstein.”
The Monster does not move.
His eyes remain fixed forward.
Hana turns toward the doctor.
“Doctor… last week on Dark Fable, your Monster attacked Sinbad after his victory over Kong.”
She pauses.
“Many people are asking whether that attack was intentional… or simply another act of destruction by the Monster.”
Dr. Frankenstein smiles faintly.
Dr. Frankenstein:
“Miss Nakamura… what you witnessed last week was not destruction.”
He folds his hands calmly.
“It was inevitability.”
A pause.
“My creation does not lash out blindly.”
He gestures toward the Monster.
“He recognizes threats.”
His tone grows colder.
“And Sinbad made the mistake of announcing himself as one.”
Hana raises an eyebrow.
“So you’re saying the attack was a warning?”
Frankenstein nods slowly.
Dr. Frankenstein:
“Not a warning.”
A beat.
“A demonstration.”
Before Hana can respond—
A sudden crash echoes from down the corridor.
The camera jerks slightly as someone storms into frame.
SINBAD.
His ribs are heavily taped beneath his open vest.
His eyes burn with fury.
Julian Ward (voiceover from commentary booth):
“That’s Sinbad!”
Sinbad doesn’t hesitate.
He charges forward and blasts Frankenstein’s Monster with a forearm to the jaw.
The corridor erupts in chaos.
The Monster staggers back one step—
Then fires back with a massive right hand.
The two giants begin trading brutal punches, each shot echoing through the hallway.
Brick Brody (voiceover):
“Well here we go!”
Sinbad drives the Monster into the wall with a shoulder tackle.
The Monster grabs Sinbad by the throat—
But Sinbad breaks free and fires another strike.
Dr. Frankenstein shouts angrily.
Dr. Frankenstein:
“Stop this!”
Security suddenly floods into the corridor.
Several guards attempt to separate the two men as they continue swinging wildly.
Finally—
A commanding voice cuts through the chaos.
Alton Bell:
“That’s enough!”
The General Manager storms into frame.
Security finally pulls the two combatants apart.
Sinbad struggles against the guards, glaring at the Monster.
The Monster stands breathing heavily, eyes locked on Sinbad like a predator waiting for the cage door to open.
Hana steps back cautiously.
Alton looks between them.
Clearly irritated.
Alton Bell:
“I’ve had enough of this.”
He points between the two men.
“You want to fight?”
A pause.
“Then we do it properly.”
The crowd watching on the arena screen begins to cheer.
Bell continues.
“Next week on Dark Fable…”
He points directly at the Monster.
“Frankenstein’s Monster will defend the Mythic Crown Championship.”
Then he points at Sinbad.
“Against Sinbad.”
The arena erupts.
Sinbad nods slowly.
The Monster tilts his head slightly, staring coldly at his challenger.
Dr. Frankenstein adjusts his coat and smiles faintly.
Dr. Frankenstein:
“Excellent.”
Security slowly releases both men.
They remain separated—but neither takes their eyes off the other.
Julian Ward (voiceover):
“The Mythic Crown Championship will be on the line next week!”
Brick Brody:
“And if this backstage fight is any indication… that match is going to be violent.”
Sinbad backs away slowly, still staring at the Monster.
The Monster does not move.
The camera lingers on the two rivals glaring at one another across the corridor.
Fade out.
Entrances & Introductions
The lights dim across Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum.
A distorted rock theme begins to play.
From the entrance emerges Ace MacDougal, swaggering confidently toward the ring.
Behind him waddles the bizarre but beloved mascot Flippers the Penguin, wearing a miniature championship sash.
The crowd begins booing loudly.
Then—
MEAN JACK MASON appears.
The Universal Championship hangs over his shoulder.
Jack sneers at the crowd, clearly enjoying their hatred.
Julian Ward:
“The Universal Champion arrives for tonight’s non-title main event.”
Brick Brody:
“And Jack Mason looks like he’s in the mood to hurt somebody.”
Jack climbs into the ring and raises the championship mockingly.
He hands the belt to Ace MacDougal, who proudly displays it at ringside.
The arena suddenly shifts.
A heroic orchestral theme fills the building.
The crowd erupts.
Lion of the Wizard’s Warriors storms onto the stage.
He pounds his chest and roars loudly to the cheering crowd.

Julian Ward:
“Mason beginning to wear Lion down.”
Brick Brody:
“That champion knows how to finish fights.”
Minute 14
Mason climbs the ropes.
He leaps high—
And crashes down with the Final Diagnosis (Pointed Elbow Drop).
He hooks the leg.
1…
2…
3.
The bell rings.
MEAN JACK MASON DEFEATS LION VIA PINFALL WITH FINAL DIAGNOSIS (POINTED ELBOW DROP) AT MINUTE 14.
Mason rises slowly as Ace MacDougal slides into the ring with the Universal Championship.
Flippers the Penguin waddles around celebrating.
Julian Ward:
“The Universal Champion victorious tonight in our main event.”
Brick Brody:
“Lion gave it everything he had… but Jack Mason is still the most dangerous man in NPCW.”
Mason raises the championship high as the crowd boos loudly.
He smirks confidently while standing over the fallen Lion.
The torches around Camelot Coliseum burn brighter as the show fades out.
Julian Ward:
“For Brick Brody, I’m Julian Ward… goodnight from Dark Fable.”
Fade to black.
The camera returns to the Dark Fable broadcast desk at ringside.
Behind them, the torches lining Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum flicker as the crowd slowly begins to settle after the chaotic main event.
At the desk sit Julian Ward and Brick Brody.
Julian straightens his notes calmly.
Julian Ward:
“What a night it has been here at Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum.”
He pauses as a graphic flashes across the screen.
Julian Ward:
“We began tonight with an impressive victory from Lark and Maid Marion, who overcame the dangerous Monsters of Myth in our opening contest.”
Brick Brody:
“And that’s a big win for Sherwood. Those two didn’t just survive the Monsters of Myth — they beat them.”
Julian nods.
Another highlight clip appears.
Sir Agravaine delivering Willow’s Bell to Takuma Ryujin.
Julian Ward:
“Sir Agravaine successfully retained the Eternal Flame Championship tonight in a brutal rematch against Takuma Ryujin.”
Brick Brody:
“And then Raigen jumped him again after the match.”
A replay shows Raigen’s ambush and the security intervention.
Julian Ward:
“An attack that has clearly escalated tensions between the House of the Dragon’s Veil and the Blood Oni Syndicate.”
Brick Brody:
“And next week that thing finally explodes.”
Julian gestures toward the screen as a match graphic appears.
NEXT WEEK
Takuma Ryujin vs Raigen — Blood Oni Syndicate
Julian Ward:
“Next week on Dark Fable, Takuma Ryujin will face Raigen in what promises to be a very personal confrontation.”
Brick Brody:
“Those two aren’t going to wrestle, Julian. They’re going to fight.”
Another graphic appears.
NEXT WEEK
Sayaka Mizuhana vs Yurei Rinn
Julian Ward:
“And the conflict between the Dragon’s Veil and Blood Oni Syndicate will continue when Sayaka Mizuhana meets Yurei Rinn.”
Brick Brody:
“That one could get nasty.”
Julian continues.
“Elsewhere tonight we saw Snow White defeat Lady Frost, though the controversial interference from the Mad Hatter certainly left questions unanswered.”
A brief replay of the hot tea distraction flashes on screen.
Brick Brody:
“That lunatic nearly stole the match.”
Julian nods.
“Robin Hood also secured a major victory tonight over Mordred.”
A replay shows the Sharpshooter submission.
Julian Ward:
“Though the mysterious Myridden watched that match from the rafters with clear displeasure.”
Brick Brody:
“And Mordred did not look happy about that.”
Another replay shows King Arthur defeating Sandman.
Julian Ward:
“The King of Camelot also stood victorious tonight against Sandman.”
Brick Brody:
“Arthur’s building momentum again.”
Julian flips to his final note.
“And earlier tonight backstage we witnessed a violent confrontation between Sinbad and the Mythic Crown Champion Frankenstein’s Monster.”
Footage rolls of the backstage brawl.
Julian Ward:
“A confrontation that has now led to a championship match.”
Another graphic appears.
NEXT WEEK — MYTHIC CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP

The crowd reacts loudly.
Brick Brody:
“That one might tear the building down.”
Julian nods.
“And of course in tonight’s main event…”
Footage rolls of Mean Jack Mason hitting the Final Diagnosis on Lion.
Julian Ward:
“The Universal Champion Mean Jack Mason defeated Lion in our non-title main event.”
Brick Brody:
“Love him or hate him, Julian… Mason keeps winning.”
Julian looks toward the camera.
Julian Ward:
“The Mythic Division continues to grow more dangerous by the week.”
He folds his hands.
“For Brick Brody, I’m Julian Ward.”
Brick nods.
Brick Brody:
“And if tonight proved anything…”
He smirks slightly.
“It’s that Dark Fable never ends quietly.”
Julian smiles faintly.
Julian Ward:
“Good night from Scrooge’s Camelot Coliseum.”
The camera pulls back.
Torchlight fills the arena as the Dark Fable logo slowly fades onto the screen.
