-Two weeks until the Royal Rumble-
Tension was high in the stadium Friday night Smackdown was taking place in this evening, and everyone knew why. The Royal Rumble was just around the corner, and Legacy, a group that consisted of Randy Orton, Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes was taking out any of the main contenders had their eyes set on the prize. Any superstars that were chasing the same goal as them were watching their backs like the world was out to get them, because it wasn't unusual for Legacy to resort to dirty tactics and weaken their opponents before their matches.
The first two matches had gone on without incident (besides various moments where the lights flickered), but the crowd could tell everyone was distracted. Fear was running rampant, and that was exactly what Legacy had wanted to do. The first match was between Kofi Kingston and Batista, which after a long 'high flying' fight, ended in a win for Kofi- the two shaking hands before leaving the ring which was met with applause and positive comments of sportsmanship from the commentators: Cole and Lawler. The second match soon rolled around after a brief wait, being a diva match. Beth Phoenix (self appointed, the 'Glamazon') was facing off against one of the Bella twins, which had been a vicious rivalry for quite some time, it was only escalated by the fact that Beth Phoenix was the current title holder of the woman's championship. Once again though, the match ended in defeat for the Bella twin's side. With a smug smile, Beth left the ring, satisfied with the result. After a moment, the twin followed up the ramp in shame.
When the third match rolled around however, an incident did occur. It was Edge vs. The Bigshow, another violent rivalry that had been going on for almost a third of the year. These two superstars were also some of the main contenders set to be taking part in the Royal Rumble which made the fight all the more brutal. Both were desperate to see the other injured in some way, whether it was by an almighty choke slam, or by a powerful spear. The match was just about to draw to an end as Edge was setting up his signature move, the gleam of opportunity shining in the rated 'R' superstar's eye, before Legacy made their move.
Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase came charging out from the crowd, both set on causing absolute chaos. They entered the ring just before Edge could deliver his signiture move, the spear, and Cody began beating him down. Boos from the audience echoed from the floor to the rafters as Ted also began beating down The Bigshow, who was putting up a valiant fight despite the beating he had received from Edge just moments ago. In a sickening display of coordinated teamwork, they flung the contestants into each other, a resounding crunch coming from the collision- earning a collective gasp and wince from the audience watching. The commentators shouted in barely concealed shock over as a mic was torn from Cole's grasp, into which Cody spoke. "We are Legacy, and no one will get in the way of us winning the Royal Rumble!"
The lights flickered and dimmed all around the stadium randomly much worse than before, causing panic amongst the crowd before they stopped, and were restored back to normal. Worried glances were exchanged between the two, and not long after, Legacy retreated- leaving Edge to pin the Bigshow- who was still collapsed in the centre of the ring, and claim his hard-won victory. The commentators after Edge was leaving began discussing what had happened.
"Dear god, did you see what happened Cole!?" "Of course I did, I was sitting right here Jerry. The Bigshow and Edge were absolutely mauled by Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiasi, members of the Legacy, and then the entire stadium began having a techno party with the lights!" Cole summarised, most likely for the benefit of the viewers that may have just joined in at home. "Yeah surprisingly, Orton was a no show tonight, and it makes one think, what is going on behind the scenes?" Cole gave a slightly worried glance before speaking. "Well Jerry I have no idea, but I have a feeling, whatever is going on with the lights is hinting to something big, but what could be coming ladies and gentlemen, we have no idea."
Just as Cole had finished his sentence, the lights began flickering rapidly again, all of them dancing on and off in a random pattern before what looked like white sparks flew from above the ring and stage, and all of the lights in the stadium went out. "I believe you may of jinxed us Cole! It's happening again!"
Laughter echoed throughout the stadium, laughter unheard of by the entire WWE universe. It was definitely not male, and in the words of Jerry the 'king' Lawler, "god damn does it sound scary". Lights blinked again, but instead of it being the lights above, it was just one, the spotlight focused on the middle of the ring. A blinding flash of lightning terrified the audience- and then, in the centre of the ring, stood the source of all the laughter. Cloaked heavily in shadows from the harsh spotlight, and their face/body covered by a large gothic hood and Druid robe, the person who's voice sounded distinctly female shook the foundations of the very building with three simple words.
Raising 'her' head upwards, the cameras surrounding the ring catching a brief glimpse of a despicable smirk beneath her hood as she brought a microphone to her lips, she exclaimed in a dark voice, "I... Have... Arrived!" Demented laughter erupted from the supposed Diva, and lights began acting strange again, sparks spurting from the ceiling as she raised her hands to the heavens in front of 30,000 people... And in a resounding crackle of deafening thunder and lightning, she was gone. Leaving nothing, except the smell of burning in the air, and seemingly a promise, to greater things to come.
Good god I have needed to get this out of system for awhile. This is another fan fiction I have wanted to do after I had a very interesting dream about wrestling. Everything that happened here happened in my dream withy he exception of the previous matches, I had no idea who they were since I didn't get to see. I just knew there had been previous matches. I needed something else besides Prototype to fill in, otherwise I'll get a burnout, and believe me when I say, but outs are the worst. NEVER PUSH YOURSELF TO THE POINT OF BURNOUT. GOT IT?!
Anyway. Just so you know, this isn't intended to be a romance fan fiction. It MAY turn into one, but I highly doubt it. It's more focused upon respect and honour in a way. This is based off an actual storyline I saw once back when HBK was still in the WWE, and the legends were still pretty damn active. I think it was back in either 2009 or 2010. Anyway, I enjoyed the idea of the Legacy storyline, so I'm gonna borrow it. Sorry ! I promise I'm not trying to infringe copywrite or anything, or writing a shitty romance, I'm doing this out of inspiration a literal dream gave me. Who knows where this will go from here...
And those who are waiting for the next chappy of Prototype, be patient. I'm killing two birds with one stone here, as well as incubating one. Those who check out my DA account for HERA will understand that reference. Writing about wrestling will improve my fight scenes in prototype to make them more believable and interactive, while I will also gain a greater audience. Also I am literally taking care of an egg. My little brother found a Goshawk egg, it was abandoned and we didn't want it to die so we are looking after it until it hatches, then giving it to a wildlife reserve. He named it Icarus...
