punk_wrestler2000 Battle Royal Champs: Zack Vs Derrick

Zack knew he had a tough match coming up. He had to face the winner of the second Battle Royal. Zack had watched the Battle Royal with great anticipation as the last two guys had come down to his best friend, Bastian and newcomer: Derrick.

Zack did not want to face Bastian, but he sure as hell did not want to face the tough Farm Boy, Derrick either.

A few days before the match, Zack met up with Derrick in the practice arena.

The two teens walked over to each other and shook hands. Elton was with Derrick and Bastian was with Zack. Bastian also shook hands with Derrick. After all there were no hard feelings for the hard win Derrick had gotten.

The two teens knew they had to face each other and both were anticipating a good hard fair match. Zack knew it would be tough to beat Derrick. The kid was well built and strong.

Zack was no lightweight. He was only giving up a few pounds, but all of it was muscle.

Derrick was a big easy-going country boy. He was new to league wrestling, but no stranger to backyard matches.

Derrick sized Zack up. He figured he had a good shot. Derrick had spent the last few weeks training with Elton and Martin. He knew his debut win over Taylor had been luck, but all the same he had beaten one of the toughest MW wrestlers in the league.

The two teens discussed their upcoming match. Both wanted to adhere to the rules.

Elton and Bastian stood back and watched as Zack and Derrick discussed their upcoming match.

Bastian would be in Zack's corner and Elton would be ringside with Derrick.

As they talked Taylor entered. Derrick and Elton were on their feet. They wanted no trouble with Taylor.

Taylor walked up to Derrick. "What's happening, Bud?" Taylor asked as he extended his hand to the blond muscleboy.

Derrick shook Taylor's outstretched hand. "Not much. By the way thanks for the other night."

Taylor nodded. "No problem. Bastard got what was coming to him."

Derrick nodded. "Yeah he did."

Taylor grinned. "Just hear to warn you to watch your back. Kevin did threaten both of us. I'll be keeping an eye on you as well. Don't want to see you get jumped."

Elton, Zack and Bastian were quite surprised. They knew Taylor befriended no one.

Derrick nodded. "Same goes for you."

Taylor turned to leave. As he did he nodded to Zack.

Elton watched Taylor go wondering what was up. He did not trust Taylor, but he was impressed Taylor had come into the practice arena to warn Derrick.

The night of the Battle of Champions rolled around sooner then either teen had expected.

Derrick was in the locker room with Elton and Martin. Both were going over some moves with him and telling him what to watch for and how to counter.

Elton was afraid Derrick's inexperience could be a problem, but he and martin had worked out hard with Derrick the last few weeks.

In the other locker room Zack was sitting with Bastian, Booker, Timon and Gabriel. Bastian was giving Zack a rub down and telling him what to be on the look out for. Bastian knew how tough Derrick was.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OUR NEXT BOUT IS A BATTLE OF BATTLE ROYAL CHAMPIONS. FIRST MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING IS THE WINNER OF THE FIRST BATTLE ROYAL."

"HE STANDS 5'11 AND WEIGHS 166 POUNDS. HE IS BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY Bastian. HE IS ZACK."

The audience gave Zack a rousing greeting. Zack trotted to the ring in bright blue speedoes and vaulted over the top rope.

Bastian entered the ring and stood beside his best friend.

"AND NOW MAKING HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE ACCOMPANIED BY ELTON IS THE WINNER OF THE SECOND BATTLE ROYAL. HE STANDS 6'1 AND WEIGHS 178 POUNDS. HE IS DERRICK."

Like Zack Derrick raced to the ring to thunderous applause.

Derrick was clad in bright green wrestling trunks.

Elton and Derrick stood across the ring from Zack and Bastian. It was evident there was no animosity between the four wrestlers.

The ref called Zack and Derrick to the center of the ring and checked the two teens for foreign objects. He expected to find none and he was not disappointed.

"THIS IS A ONE FALL OR THIRTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT MATCH."

The bell sounded and the two guys moved center ring to lock up.

Zack and Derrick locked up collar and elbow.

Derrick showed some inexperience as Zack quickly muscled him into a side headlock and took him down to his knees.

Derrick grunted as Zack's smaller biceps encircled his head and ground the hold on tightly.

Zack knew he had to muscle the more powerfully built wrestler if he hoped to garner a win.

Derrick locked his hands around Zack's waist and tipped his shoulders to the mat. The ref counted a quick one, before Zack forced himself up. Zack brought Derrick to his knees and ground his head and neck with his hard biceps. Zack then drug Derrick to his feet and delivered to hard knee lifts to his ripped abs.

Derrick grunted and planted his feet. He shot a hard elbow to Zack's stomach. Derrick felt the headlock loosen, He sent another hard elbow in fast and hard. Zack grunted loudly and his headlock loosened even more. Derrick gripped his waist and sent him to the ropes. <br>Zack caught Derrick with a shoulder block as he recoiled. Derrick back-pedaled and hit the ropes. Zack followed him and slammed a knee lift to his stomach.

Derrick doubled slightly as Zack backed to the center of the ring and made a come on motion.

Zack raised his hands for a test of strength.

Bastian shook his head, knowing full well Zack could not match Derrick muscle to muscle.

Derrick boldly accepted the challenge. He walked towards Zack and raised his hands. The two teens interlaced their fingers and powered hard into each other.

Zack knew he could not muscle Derrick down, but that was not what he had in mind. As Derrick started to over power him, Zack fell to his back as he did he planted both of his feet into Derrick's rock hard abs and money flipped him over to his back. Zack maintained his lock on Derrick's hands and rolled around so he was sitting on Derrick's chest.

Zack went for a schoolboy pin. In one quick move he placed his knees over Derrick's biceps and pinned his shoulder's to the mat.

The ref counted to one before Derrick arched up and locked his legs around Zack's head and flipped him to the mat, hard.

Derrick proceeded to roll Zack around the ring, locked in his head scissors.

Zack was grunting as he was rolled around the ring. He tried to stop Derrick's momentum but the muscular MW had a killer grip on his head.

Derrick released his head scissors and stood to his feet. He dropped an elbow to Zack's lower back, then lifted the teen to his feet by the nape of the neck. Derrick moved quickly and locked Zack in a full nelson.

Zack struggled but Derrick was too strong. Zack felt his chin getting muscled to his chest.

Zack grunted loudly as Derrick worked his biceps over and muscled his chin to his chest. He tried to break the hold but could not. Derrick suddenly kicked Zack's feet from under him and dropped him to the mat. Derrick locked on a rear body scissors.

Zack cried out as Derrick's powerful legs encompassed his rib cage.

Zack knew he was in deep shit as the muscleboy worked him over.

Zack looked around and saw he was close to the ropes. He quickly reached his foot out and hooked the bottom rope.

The ref was right on the ball and told Derrick to release the hold.

Derrick immediately let Zack go and stood to his feet. Zack climbed slowly to his feet and faced Derrick. The two teens shook hands and prepared to lock up again.

Bastian and Elton were pleased with the way the match was going. Neither teen had gotten underhanded or vindictive. Both were wrestling fair and above board.

The two muscular teens circled. Derrick was leery of Zack's wrestling ability and Zack was weary of Derrick's strength.

Zack feigned a single leg take down. Derrick took the bait and Zack hooked his head and flipped him to the mat. Zack moved with the agility of a lithe MW. He slipped behind Derrick and gripped his big arms. Before Derrick could counter Zack had him flat on his stomach and in a double hammerlock.

Derrick grunted as Zack worked his arms and pulled them high up his back.

Derrick kicked the mat with his feet. He was surprised by how much this hold hurt.

Zack worked Derrick's big muscled arms over then released the hold. He drug Derrick up by his short blond hair. Zack whipped Derrick to the ropes and met him coming off with a back body drop. Derrick hit the canvas hard.

Zack hit the ropes and planted an elbow to Derrick's chest.

Zack quickly rolled Derrick to his stomach and locked on a Boston crab.

Derrick yelled out as Zack sat was up on his back and cinched the hold in tightly.

Bastian was on his feet as his buddy worked Derrick over. Bastian had not expected Zack to fair well against the muscleboy.

Derrick was sweating as Zack worked his legs and stretched his back.

Derrick tried to muscle out of the hold but Zack stood and dropped his butt hard to the small of Derrick's muscular back.

Derrick grunted and fell back to the mat.

Zack leaned back to increase the pressure on his hold. As he did Derrick wrapped one of his big arms around Zack's head. Zack tried to break the grip but could not. Derrick pulled Zack back hard, forcing the teen titan to release the grip on his legs.

Once his legs were released Derrick powered Zack down to the mat. Derrick quickly got to his knees, then to his feet. He drug Zack up and whipped him to the ropes.

Derrick caught Zack coming off in a bear hug. Bastian groaned loudly knowing it was all over.

Instead Derrick belly to belly suplexed Zack to the mat.

Zack let out a rush of air as Derrick's 178 pounds came down on top of him.

Derrick again stood to his feet and drug Zack up. Derrick slipped behind Zack and locked on an abdominal stretch.

"Shit." Zack cried out as he felt his abs burning from the muscle hold.

Derrick ground the point of his elbow into Zack's ribs as he stretched his abs.

Zack was struggling to break the hold, but he could not. Zack was now taking slow deliberate breaths as Derrick continued to stretch his abs and elbow his ribs.

Zack maneuvered his free hand around. He knew he could break the hold with a rake of Derrick's eyes, but that was not his style. That was reserved for guys like Luke and other Posse members.

Zack clenched his fist and slammed two hard shots into Derrick's ribs.

Derrick grunted and his hold loosened. Zack slammed another hard shot to Derrick's ribs.

Derrick decided enough was enough. He lifted Zack from the mat and gutbusted him.

Zack whished out his air as he fell to the canvas.

Derrick reached down and pulled Zack to his feet. He flung the winded teen to the ropes. As Zack shot back Derrick launched a drop kick at him.

Zack saw the move telegraphed and sidestepped. Derrick hit nothing and landed hard on the mat.

Zack knew he had to move quickly. He hit the ropes and dropped an elbow hard to the pit of Derrick's well toned stomach. Derrick whished out his air as the elbow hit hard and sunk in deep.

Zack was back up quickly. He pivoted and stomped down hard on Derrick's gut. Derrick grunted and rolled to his side.

Zack was on fire. He reached down and drug Derrick to his feet. He bulled the bigger teen to the corner and sent two hard punches to his lower belly.

Zack did not give Derrick a chance to catch his breath. He gripped his arms and whipped him to the ropes.

Zack caught Derrick coming off and power slammed him with authority to the center of the ring.

Derrick was dazed. Zack rolled the bigger boy to his stomach and locked on a camel clutch.

Elton was on his feet as Zack locked on the submission hold. He could not believe Zack was taking it to Derrick.

Derrick was sweating and breathing hard as Zack took it to him.

He reached up and locked his fingers around Zack's wrists. Derrick found the pressure points and squeezed down. Derrick forced Zack's hands apart and flipped the muscleboy over his head and to the mat.

Derrick got slowly to his feet, but Zack was up quicker.

Zack leapt in the air and caught Derrick with a flying head scissors. He took the bigger boy down to the mat hard and fast.

Derrick maneuvered around and placed his hands on Zack's legs. Using raw muscle power he forced his head free and leaped on Zack locking the teen in a headlock. Derrick lifted Zack to his feet and laid in three hard knee lifts to his stomach.<br> <br>Zack grunted as he felt the powerful knees tear into his gut.

Derrick released the headlock but kept one hand on the nape of Zack's neck. He moved the other to Zack's trunks and lifted the teen for a crotch slam. Instead he delivered a brutal gutbuster over his knees. Zack whished out his air as he fell to the mat clutching his stomach.

Derrick then gripped Zack by the hair and drug him to his feet. He flung the teen to the ropes and nailed him with a hard boot to the gut as he ricocheted off the ropes. Zack clutched his stomach and dropped to his knees.

Derrick slipped behind the teen muscleboy and lifted him from the mat. He again whipped the teen to the ropes and greeted him with a super kick to the gut. Zack doubled over. As he did Derrick hooked his head and lifted Zack into an over the shoulder back breaker.<br>Zack screamed out in agony, as he lay draped over Derrick's broad shoulders.

Elton knew Derrick had his man. He had worked on this move with Derrick the last few days.

Derrick started to bounce up and down with his legs.

Zack groaned but knew he could not escape.

The ref was right there asking if he wanted to submit.

Zack could take no more. He called out his submission.

Derrick lowered Zack gently to the mat. He then helped the young lion to his feet.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR WINNER AT A TIME OF TWENTY FIVE MINUTES, WITH AN OVER THE SHOULDER BACK BREAKER IS DERRICK."

The audience cheered loudly. They had not cared who won the match.

Derrick turned to Zack and the two battle weary teens embraced.

Zack looked at Derrick and said calmly, "I want a rematch."

Derrick nodded. "Any time, Zack. You're good. I thought you had me a couple of times."

Zack punched Derrick on the shoulder. "Next time I will beat you."

The two combatants, were joined in the ring by Elton and Bastian.

Bastian looked at Derrick and grinned. "Now that you have beaten Zack, I want a match with you one on one. Game to take me on, Derrick?"

Derrick smiled. He liked Bastian. He knew a match with the HW would be another good fair bout.

"Sure Bastian. I don't expect to win, but I can use the practice." Derrick said honestly.

The four teens headed back to the locker room. There were no hard feelings. Zack was disappointed, but he was not mad. He had given it his all. As had Derrick.
