Chapter 2 - Episode 2: Tag Me In, Bro

Scene 1: Yellow Brand Tryouts

Art Drop: [Image: A gritty indie-style wrestling arena. "WELCOME TO YELLOW BRAND" is spray-painted on the wall. Spartan waits in line with determined eyes as chaos unfolds behind him.]

Narrator: "Every rookie in Revolution Wrestling starts here. Yellow Brand Tag Division—where trust is tested, and suplexes fly like insults."

Coach Bobo (blowing whistle): "Tag trials today! You win with teamwork—or leave with bandages."

He scans the line.

Coach Bobo: "Spartan! You're teaming with… Crash Kola!"

Art Drop: [Image: Crash Kola, a wild-eyed guy with soda cans strapped to his belt, winks at Spartan while sipping loudly.]

Crash Kola: "Let's cause some fizzy mayhem, partner!"

Spartan (stone-faced): "God help me."

Scene 2: Trial by Suplex

Art Drop: [Image: Spartan and Crash face off against The Locker Room Luchas—two flashy masked wrestlers bouncing on the ropes.]

BELL RINGS!

Spartan rushes in. Lucha #1 attempts a running hurricanrana (a flipping headscissors takedown)— —But Spartan counters with a SPEAR (shoulder-first tackle at full sprint), nearly cutting the Lucha in half!

Crash tags himself in.

Crash (grinning): "Time to fizz things up!"

He climbs the turnbuckle, leaps for a Soda Splash (diving crossbody)… but slips, crashing flat on his stomach.

The luchas take advantage with a Double Elbow Drop (synchronized leap, both arms slamming into Crash's chest). One! Two!—Kickout!

Spartan (groaning): "He's not a wrestler. He's a soda spill."

Lucha #2 springboards off the ropes— Spartan intercepts with a tag—grabs him mid-air—and lands a Backbreaker Bomb: lifting the Lucha across his shoulders, dropping him spine-first on Spartan's knee, then slamming him flat!

Art Drop: [Image: Spartan roaring as he lifts the Lucha for the combo slam, Crash barely standing in the background cheering.]

Crash (clapping): "Bro, that was SPICY!"

Spartan: "I work alone... but fine."

Scene 3: Enter the Champions

Art Drop: [Image: Lights cut. Bass drops. Two giants stomp in wearing speaker-helmets—The Boombox Barbarians—clutching the glowing Yellow Tag Team belts.]

Narrator: "They shake arenas. They break jaws. They're the Yellow Tag Champs—The Boombox Barbarians!"

Boombox Bro 1: "Y'ALL ROOKIES SOUND WEAK."

Boombox Bro 2: "TAG MATCH NEXT WEEK. US vs YOU. BRING EARPLUGS... AND ICE."

Crash Kola: "We're gonna need, like, a dozen sodas."

Spartan (cracking knuckles): "No... we need strategy."

Scene 4: Tag Chemistry

Art Drop: [Image: Training montage. Spartan bench pressing Crash. Crash balancing soda cans mid-rope walk. Spartan dragging Crash out of a snack bar.]

Narrator: "Rookies don't win with luck. They win with rhythm."

New Tag Move: Spartan Slam Assist – Spartan lifts Crash onto his shoulders. Crash flips off, landing a Front Flip Senton (mid-air somersault into a body splash).

Crash's solo move: Cola Kick – Springboards off the middle rope, twisting mid-air into a spinning kick to the nose, soda can tossed as distraction!

Coach Bobo: "Still messy. But you two might just be crazy enough to win."

Spartan: "If he gets serious, we might have a shot."

Crash: "I was always serious. Just... playfully."

Scene 5: The Tag Team Championship Match

Art Drop: [Image: A packed Yellow Brand arena. The Boombox Barbarians enter to thunderous bass and flashing lights. Spartan and Crash follow, mismatched but fired up.]

BELL RINGS!

Spartan starts. Ducks a lariat (clothesline...i.e a running stretched arm meant to hit the neck brutally with enough momentum the formula changes)—grabs Boombox Bro 1—plants him with a Tilt-a-Whirl DDT (twisting mid-air drive their face back ward head first to the mat).

He tags in Crash— Crash leaps off the top rope with a Crash Landing Cutter (a flying neck-hold falling flat :-head first on crashes shoulder as Crash simultaneously falls on his back from behind mid-air)—but Boombox Bro 2 blindsides him!

Barbarians hit their finisher: Bass Bomb – Double Powerbomb into the mat followed by both men leaping for a stereo elbow drop! ONE—TWO—KICKOUT!

Spartan returns—clotheslines both giants— Tags Crash—

Crash uses the ropes, flips forward, and hits the final move:

Cola Crush – a springboard 450° Splash with a spinning twist, crashing into the champ like a soda-can missile!

Spartan dives in for the cover—

ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!

Art Drop: [Image: Spartan and Crash holding the Tag Titles high. Soda sprays in the air as Crash celebrates. Spartan nods once, maybe... just maybe... smiling.]

Coach Bobo: "Your first belts. Don't let it be your last."
