Soon Legion enters the picture as he walks into the Scarp Yard, the fans boo in the Arena as the view the match on the X-TremeTron.

Camera's switch to inside the Scrap Yard, where Legion has just entered, he then walks up to Mentally Insane and Psycho who are training while C.C. is playing music on the jukebox.

Mentally Insane - " Hey, Legionnaire ........ ahhhhhh crap, your LeGI....... !"

With out saying a word Legion, spins to a leg sweep, taking MI off his feet, Legion then darts at Psycho, nailing him in the face with his elbow, then Legion changes up and Piston kicks Mentally Insane in his forehead, knocking him out, then Legion quickl picks MI up and tosses him through a window and out of the Scrap Yard.

Legion then fights off Psycho's melee with easy, drops him with the Dominator (pedigree) and then breaks his ankle with the punisher, all while C.C. is begging for him to stop.

Psycho crawls out of the Scrap Yard, C.C. is left alone with Legion, he is about to make a heart punch that will end her life when ..........\par \par the sound of rockets can be heard ..........

Legion looks sharp to his left, and through the window right next to the one MI went out, Legionnaire breaks through and with both fists, rockets right at Legion, spinning him in circles, head over heels, as he flies by and lands another 15 feet away.

C.C. screams as she runs out of the Scrap Yard, Legionnaire drops his jet pack, Legion stand, they each look at the other, not a sign of anything in there synth-eyes, then Legion makes a jesture, Just Bring It !

Legionnaire charged at Legion, trying for a pump kick off a table, but Legion is not falling or his own tricks, leaping out of the way, while trying to get in a elbow smash of his own, but Legionnaire is keen to this of course, rolling to avoid impact, both end up standing across from each other, on their feet.

Again Legionnaire strikes, Legion defend, neither makes gain.

Legion takes it on two the top level of the Scrap Yard, the entertainment area, Legionnaire follows, walking right into a trap, as Legion send the Pac-Man game tilting over, almost crushing Legionnaire against, more modern, Star Wars, X-Wing pilot game.

Classic scene as Legion then grabs Legionnaire and runs him across the bar top, glasses breaking every where and at the end, Legion grabs a full bottle of champaign and breaks it over Legionnaire's head.

Legion begins to smash Legionnaire's face into the bar top, but Legionnaire reaches for a bottle and cracks that over Legions head, then rolls of the counter top into some bar stools, they fall, Legion grabs one and tries to bash Legionnaire with it, but Legionnaire gets ahold of one too and uses it to block.

They then fight for a bit with the bar stools, until Legion sets his down and uses it to spring over and piston kick Legionnaire in his chest, sending him through the safty rail, leading to a 15 foot fall to the 1st level again.

Legionnaire lands back first onto a pool table, it stays stable for a few seconds, as Legionnaire stirs around, then the legs give way and it callapses another 8 inches to the ground.

Legionnaire looks up to see Legion leaping off the edge right at him, he moves, Legion crashes fist and foot first, right through the pool table, moments later, as he starts to climb out, Legionnaire breaks a pool queue across the side of Legion's head.

Legion shakes his head, almost like this is to funny, then another pool queue is broken across the side of his head, then another, Legionnaire is almost mocking him, Legions expresion has turned to total anger.

Legion catches the 5th pool queue and twists it out of Legionnaire's grip, then turns it around, and poke Legionnaire in the eye with it, Legiannaire grabs his eye socket, in pain sensory.

Legion gets out of the pool table, nails Legionnaire with a body to body suplex, sending them both through the foosball table.

As Legion stands up, he takes a look around him, dozens of fans from the arena have come over to the Scrap yard for first hand view of this battle.

Legion grabs Legionnaire and slams him to the floor with a pump handle slam, but it is turned around so quickly, that until it is over, and you focus, it is Legionnaire who ended up delivering the final slam.

Fans go crazy, Legionnaire takes a bow, then grabs Legion and hits him woth the Dominator (pedigree), then sets Legion across the ropes of the standard wrestling ring, across from that ring he climbs the Hell in the Cell ring, stands at the edge and leaps off, landing in the standard ring, while slaming Legion with a gullitine leg drop off the top of the Hell in the Cell, Legion's body flings up into the rafters of the Scrap Yard, Legionnaire lays motionless in the ring on his back, after hitting that move

Legionnaire gets up as fans start to flock around the ring, they start cheering Legionnaire .......... he acts as if he has won, Legion is done with !\par \par Even a referee gets in the ring, and raises his hand, but just then ........

Legion drops off the rafter right above Legionnaire, driving a big boot down on top of him, both slam to the mat, the referee jumps out of the ring, the fans all step back, then Legion & his dopplganger both stand to their feet, about to lock up again ........

But then .......

A figure all in black is seen, much like Lugg Nutt had done in the past, with a bola net, he trows at Legionnaire, the weighted ends of the net, swirl around the top part of Legionnaire's body, he cannot move his arms, Legion takes a few cheap shots, but then Legionnaire starts using his feet to ward him off.

The figure in black, is now in the ring, behind Legionnaire, and breaks a kendo stick over the back of Legionnaire's head, he falls still trapped in the net, Legion ruthlessly grabs his right leg snd twists it into the Punisher ankle lock, as the figure in black, slams Legionnaire across the head, several more time.\par \par Legionnaire's ankle snaps clear off, as Legion chucks it at on of Legionnaire's fans, wearing a jet pack T-shirt.

The figure in black, uses a flash bomb, and smoke clouds the ring, the fans are booing like crazy, once the flash smoke clears up, Legion can again be seen, controlling the match, Legionnaire is just now breaking free from the bola net, but Legion grabs his left leg and begins to punch it, Legionnaire is holding onto the ropes, his body is hanging horizanal across the ring, Legion punching the left leg, over and over .......... soon he punches right through the leg.

Legionnaire's body fall to the mat, as he clings to the ropes, fans are almost crying, as Legion grabs the maimed body of Legionnaire, and gorilla press slams him far from the ring, over the heads of the fans, back to where this fight all started.

Legionnaire's body roles and roles, finally stops, near his jet pack, Legion grabs a jack hammer from the garage, strong arms several fans who try and get in his way, as he yells "fuck off, I'm tearing Legionnaire apart, right here, right now !"

Legion walks over to Legionnaire, the Jack Hammer is started for a seconds to show that is works and that Legionnaire is scrap metal !

Legion - " Good bye, little brother ! "

Legion is about 10 feet away, pointing the jack hammer at his victom, mechanically he walks right at the downed Legionnaire, who is slumped against the wall.

Legionnaire - " Go to hell ............

Legionnaire blast his jet pack, as he faces the jets right in Legion's face, it the flames blast across the face of Legion, but once Legionnaire stops them, Legion is looking right at him, his face is good and fucked .....

Legion - " ......... BEEN THERE !!!!! "

Legion starts to jack hammer the chest of Legionnaire his body thrashes wildly, as Legion pulverises his chest cavity.

Suddenly the dozens of fans, soon come to their senses and litaraly drag Legion away from Legionnaire,restraining him, Legion fight back, they take the jack hammer, it is tossed aside, some punks ass chumps start to whale on Legion.

Legionnaire, is just a mess, he crawls into the straps of the jet pack, and turns it on, the jets perpel him across the floor, he cannot get air until he hits a bump, giving him just enough hang time to sail vertically, finally the thrusters perpel him upwards ....... and away as he breaks through the ceiling, sending pieces of wood falling the scrap yard floor around the mob fighting Legion.

The mob of course is put to rest, once Legion starts pummeling them all, the dog pile, slowly clears away, as Legion punches and kicks out the last few wannabe hero's, Legion then goes and grabs the jack hammer, walking over to where Legionnaire was down, only to find he is gone, and out of sight, escaped !!!!!!!!

Legion is about to turn the jack hammer on those punks who jumped him, but XWF security bumb rush him, and it is clear, that if this was a match, it is for now .......... over
