Championship Epilogue jimsub81

As the Epsilons celebrated the Zetas came into the ring to see to the condition of their tag teaming frat brothers. Both Ben and Kelly were still dazed and aching from almost every place on their young bodies. Jeremy and Lon helped Ben to his feet and steadied him. Dwight and Johnny did the same for Kelly. Once Rick saw that they were not seriously hurt he moved to thank Damien for the professional and even handed way he refereed all his matches. He would talk to his team when their heads were more clear.

Across the ring Blake was ecstatic as he could be as were all the Epsilons. Eric and Josh had proved themselves worthy of the belts they held. Sigma's Sean & Chuck were squashed as they offered but a minor offense. Delta's Randy and Andy fared little better and they too went down to a convincing defeat. And now in the championship round the Zeta team of Ben and Kelly, despite having taken the second fall convincingly and giving hope to the fans of the underdog team, they too found themselves laying beaten in the wake of the Eric and Josh juggernaut.

As Josh caught the eye of Zeta president after thanking Damien he said, "Hey Rick word up! Next time don't send boys to do men's work!" The whole of Epsilon house erupted in laughter and Luc slapped Josh on the back. Another round ear splitting shouts of victory and they began the file out to head back to there house to have a party to end all parties.

Rick turned his back to the jeering Epsilons. If they could not be gracious winners that was their problem. He knew that Eric and Josh deserved the win. They had fought well. But despite that he felt bad for his team. Deep down he had always felt that they would not advance past the first round. But they were the best possible team he could put forth so he did and encouraged them. He looked at Ben and Kelly as they gave each other a hug. Both were terribly disappointed to the point of watering eyes but his "little team that could" surprised many including himself. He was proud as hell of his "Men" despite Josh's insulting remark.

Rick pulled his brothers together in a tight circle and voiced his thoughts. When he spoke about how proud he was of the fighting freshmen team of Zeta Iota. He got more than a few eyes watering. All the Zetas felt exactly the same way about them. But, as much as that support meant, nothing could ease the pain Ben and Kelly still felt. They headed back to the house with their heads held high.

As Rick was leaving he was called back to the room by Garrison. John, the Deltas President was calling Damien to join them. They collected together in the corner of the room with Brian of the Sigmas and Scott of the Kappas when Buzz, who was on his way out noticed them. He sauntered over as if he belonged with the other frat presidents. As he neared Damien said, "Can we help you Buzz?" Buzz stopped and said "Sorry I saw all the presidents together and just thought that I..." Garrison cut him off saying, "Buzz if you'll excuse us this doesn't concern you." Buzz turned a bit miffed. He was pissed but really didn't want to be as he disliked the feelings of pettiness that were sweeping him. He took a last look at Garrison, Scott, Brian, John, Damien, and Rick then left the building.

With Buzz now out of ear shot. Garrison said, "OK, I think we all know something fishy went down between Blake and Buzz and the officiating during this tournament. Now, there's no denying that Eric and Josh are a good team so I'm not painting them as tainted but I got to believe that some one's team got screwed somewhere along the line during Blake's or Buzz's matches."

Damien breathed a sigh of relief as he now saw that he was not the only one to feel as he did about those two. He then expressed much the same sentiments as Garrison did. Rick and John agreed as they too had had their suspicions and John said, But it seems that if Buzz and Blake did have something prearranged to get their two teams to the final then I think we all saw Buzz go ballistic on Blake when Buzz's team went down." Damien said, "By that time Eric and Josh were in. He probably figured he didn't owe Buzz anything then. And you know there's no love loss between them so Blake screwed him over. I almost like him for that!"

Rick interjected, "But Damien," Rick looked to John and Brian and said, "no Offense intended to your two teams but Josh and Eric didn't need a biased referee to help them win." Both felt a sting but knew Rick spoke the truth. Rick continued, And I think we all agree Damien did a straight up job in the matches he refereed," All nodded in agreement as Rick finished, "So it would seem that the only ones hurt by this little set up is Damien's team of Victor and Sebastian. Blake refereed that match and I don't know about you all but there was no way he missed seeing that tag." Damien gained a slight sense of victory as the other frat presidents saw what he had been holding inside for so long yet dared not to speak of it without evidence. Yet there was still none.

John said, "Well I do believe the best team won. But I also believe Victor and Sebastian got hosed." He looked Damien square in the eye and said, "I do think they got screwed Damien but I also believe they still could not take Eric and Josh." Damien disagreed silently. He was not going to argue as the other presidents were seeing things his way...for the most part.

Brian said, "Well we have all the circumstantial evidence but we got nothing solid to make a charge, so what do we do?" Damien said quiet yet in a voice that sent a chill up the other's spines, "I'll tell you what we do. We get those two conniving assholes alone, just the two of them and we have a special meeting of the president's forum." Damien gave the hint of a smile and the rest knew what he had in mind. And they loved the idea!
