Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Cracks in the Armor

Black Mask stood over the broken and beaten bodies of King Mystery and Cinco Jr. He could have finished the match at any point but purposely let the match go on so he could inflict more damage.

"This is just brutality for brutality's sake. This is hard to watch." Ted announced.

Many in the crowd started to look away as they couldn't stand to see the brutal beating anymore. Black Mask noticed the change in the crowd.

"What are you fools looking away for? Isn't this what you came here for? That being said I'm getting bored of this too. I think I'll finish things off here."

Black Mask then hoisted King Mystery on his shoulders and started to bend his body in the wrong direction.

"Wait a minute, he's not doing what I think he is, is he?" Ted asked.

"What do you mean?" Bill asked in response.

"I've actually seen some of El Tigre Mask's old matches and right now he's definitely in position for his old finishing moves!"

"It's the Desgarron!!!!"

Black Mask ripped King Mystery's throat and then flung him onto the mat.

"King Mystery!!!! How dare you?" In a fury Cinco Jr. charged in towards Black Mask, but he was caught and then hit with a Black Meteor into King Mystery. This left both men incapacitated in a pile on the floor. Black Mask then proceeded to put his foot over top of them.

"What are you waiting for?" Black Mask asked the referee. "Start the count." He ordered.

"R-Right." The startled referee managed to stammer out.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

The match was over, and Black Mask had won a brutal and dominant victory, with both of his opponents having to be rushed to the hospital afterwards.

Meanwhile, Triple P was having a meeting with a journeyman wrestler by the name of Esteban Sancho.

"So, you saw it right? Black Mask's weakness." Triple P said.

"Yeah I saw it boss. Leave it to me, I'll take care of him." Esteban replied.

The next match for the Dark Dynasty was a World Tag Team Title match Black Excellence was defending their title against Mr. Phenomenal and Rockie Chan.

Black Mask was supposed to be defending his SWF Universal Championship and his SWF International Championship in the main event so Lamelo Jaxson would defend the title with Black Knight instead.

The match seemed as if it would be a routine title defense that the members of the Dark Dynasty had done many times before. However, something unthinkable happened early in the match.

The match started with Black Knight as the legal man and the initial exchanges saw him taking the upper hand in the match. He would then tag in Lamelo, and that's where the problem began.

As soon as he was tagged in, inexplicably, he walked out of the ring and went back to the locker room. The referee was momentarily as stunned as the rest of the crowd before realizing that he needed to do his job and he started counting. At the count of ten, Lamelo and his teammate were considered disqualified and their opponents were crowned as the new champions.

"What do you think you're doing?" Black Mask asked as the anger swelled inside him.

"I'm done with the way you guys operate. I'm going to do my own thing from now on." Lamelo responded.

"Is that so? And what makes you think I'd let you get away with such a humiliating betrayal?"

"What? You mad? Isn't this exactly what you taught me? Do what you gotta do to put yourself on top?"

"Hmm, fair enough. I will allow you to live but only because you're more compatible than this current body. One day, you will wear this black mask."

Lamelo didn't understand what he meant by that, but he didn't want to press him since it seemed he was going to let him go without a fight.

"Is it alright to just let him go?" Twilight Killer asked as Lamelo walked away.

"You're questioning my decision?"

"No, but letting him get away with this betrayal will make us look weak."

"Oh, he will not get away with anything. I might need him alive, but that doesn't mean we can't make an example out of him."

The match was quickly set up for the following week, but the biggest focus for the Dark Dynasty now was the match between Black Mask and Esteban Sancho for both the SWF Universal Championship and the SWF International Championship.
