The Big Red Rescue
A/N: Okay, when Khali came out on Raw, I knew he was gonna go after Ashley. I thought Kane was going to, well I guess not really save her, but at least come out and take out Khali before he did any serious damage to Ashley. I figured WWE would do this to build up some heat on Kane & Ashley's guest spots on Smallville this Thursday. But -sigh- that did not happen. Call me crazy, but I kind of like the Kane/Ashley thing. Maybe Khali will show up on Smackdown! this Friday night and pick on Ashley again. If so, hopefully Kane will actually do something about it. I can tell you this, it certainly won't be JBL or Michael Cole getting in the ring to save her. But anyway, I decided to write what I think should've happened.
Disclaimer: I don't own WWE, Melina Perez, Ashley Massaro or Kane. In fact, WWE owns me. . Oh yes, it certainly does.
Summary: Based on the events of Raw 3/19/07. What if King hadn't gotten in the ring to save Ashley from the Great Khali? K/A

"Look, King! It's Ashley from Smackdown!" Jim Ross said, surprised, to his broadcast partner. King was, of course, very excited.
"First a Bra & Panties match between Melina and Candice Michelle, and now this? I think Christmas has come early, J.R.!" Jerry Lawler responded happily.
"Oh stop," Jim Ross sighed, exasperated. And it was indeed Ashley Massaro, and everyone knew she was coming to give Melina a piece of her mind. Ashley strutted down to the ring with her signature backwards baseball cap, decked out in pink and camoflauge and a nasty attitude toward Melina. Melina had been giving her nothing but hell ever since she decided to pose for Playboy.
Melina didn't look quite as excited to see Ashley. Everyone could tell that by the way she took out her hair clip and tossed it on the ring mat.
Ashley wasn't discouraged, an evil grin plastered on her face as she climbed up onto the apron and slid into the ring. The moment she got into the ring, she slowly stepped toward Melina, glaring her down and Melina did the same. Melina began to trash talk her and play mind games, trying to psych her out before their WrestleMania match for the Women's Championship.
"You're beneath me, Ashley! You aren't good enough to get this title shot!" Melina spat at her.
And with that said, Melina gave Ashley and strong push. Ashley answered this with a kick to Melina's stomach, and finished what Candice Michelle had started by pulling off Melina's top. The fans appreciated that a great deal. Melina was obviously embarassed, sliding out of the ring, trying to cover herself up.
As Ashley was celebrating, swirling Melina's top around in the ring, a sound echoed through the arena that Ashley was none too pleased to hear. It was the entrance music of the Great Khali, Kane's WrestleMania opponent. What is he doing here? Ashley couldn't help but wonder.
Ashley began to panic slightly, as the seven-foot-three giant, and yes, monster emerged from the backstage area.
Melina took the distraction as an oppurtunity to attack Ashley from behind. Delivering a clubbing blow to the back of Ashley's head, the shot took Ashley down to the mat. Melina ignored Khali for now, continuing her assault with multiple kicks to Ashley's stomach. She then ripped Ashley up by her hair only to slam her back down with a clenched fist. After continuing to 'seize the opportunity', Melina saw the Great Khali approaching the ring. She decided that this was enough, and slid out of the ring quickly.
Khali climbed up onto the apron, easily climbing over the top rope. Melina simply grinned as she made her way up the ramp. It didn't take long for the monster to notice Ashley laying in the middle of the ring, recovering from Melina's attack. When Ashley finally spotted Khali, she felt fear surge through her body, as she struggled to inch away from him. As Ashley made an attempt to get away, Khali grabbed her by her hair from behind. It wasn't long before his skillet-sized hand was weighing down her shoulder. An evil smirk crossed his face as his other hand slammed into Ashley's throat. He simply held her around the throat for a few seconds, feeling her squirm in his grasp.
His attempts were cut short, as the Big Red Machine's crash of pyro and ominous music ripped through the arena. Khali simply stared at the arena entrance. Sure enough, his fellow monster Kane emerged from the black curtains. Kane certainly didn't look happy, as he marched down to the ring and entered it quickly.
Once Kane was in the ring, Khali threw Ashley at him as a distraction. Kane simply set Ashley aside, and opened fire on the 420 pounder, delivering uppercuts and large right hands to him. They barely phased Khali, but Kane wouldn't stop. It was as if something was driving him. Finally, a powerful clothesline sent Khali to the outside of the ring. Khali decided not to get back in and tango with Kane.
Kane raised his arms and slammed them back down in a swift motion, fire errupting from each turnbuckle.
Ashley was petrified, still lying on the mat, as far from the crusade as possible. Kane glanced over at her, and slowly walked to her. She was still scared and winced in Kane's presence. Kane simply grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet. The two said nothing, as Kane slid out of the ring. His eyes never left her, and Ashley felt no threat from Kane. He seemed different to her, somehow. He wasn't scowling or trying to intimidate her. It piqued her curiosity, to tell the truth, but she decided to leave it alone and simply head to the back as well.
