CHAPTER 1

February- March 2003

Having finished his match, Randy Orton walked up the ramp, slapping hands with the fans. He won his match against CM. Punk ending their feud. He looked back toward the ring seeing CM. Punk getting yelled at by his wrestling girlfriend and manager Chelsea Smith. His smirk grew on his face as he head to the back and toward his locker room.

"Randy!"

Randy turned around to see John Cena running toward him.

"What?"

"Taker's called another meeting. Something about scripts and storylines."

"When?"

"Tonight."

They walked back to their shared locker room. You see the world of the WWE is run a little bit differently. It's somewhat ruled by head masters and sub- masters. The masters ruled 90 % and Vince Mcmahon ruled the other 10%. The head master's job is to keep the secrets safe and makes sure everything is in order. The current head master, the Undertaker, ruled with an iron fist and those who cross him will regret it.

John and Randy finished what they needed to do in the locker room and walked toward the parking lot. As soon they got outside, they were met up by Chris Jericho, who was snickering.

"What's so funny?" asked Randy.

"Just walked past CM Punk's locker room on the way here."

"Let me guess. Fighting?" asked John

"That, along with something else." Said Chris

"I'm afraid to ask."

The three chucked as they got into their cars and drove to the Undertaker's house. Once they're inside, they see John's brother, Matt Brekenridge and his sub Madison Rayne. Matt's hand rand over Madison's four month belly. They had met when Matt went to a TNA show and saw Madison wrestled. They had talked after the show and Matt realized that Madison was his sub. They had been together ever since.

"Matt!"

Matt looked up and smiled.

"What's up?"

"Nothing much. You?" asked Chris

"Getting ready for the baby."

"Good. Did you find out if it's a boy or girl?" asked John

"We'll find out in a couple of weeks when we go to the next check up." Said Matt

"Boys!"

The guys turned around to see the Undertaker standing at the doorway. He had a scowl on his face and bundles of paper under his arm.

"What those bundles?" asked Matt

"These are your scripts." Said Taker as he walked to his seat.

The guys got the scripts with their names on them and started flipping through them. Randy sat next to Matt as he looked through his script. He quietly gasped as he looked at the second to last page. Matt looked up at him.

"What's wrong?"

Undertaker and the rest of the masters looked up.

"They're putting me in a stable with Evolution."

"Is that a bad thing?" asked Matt

Taker's face darkened a little.

"Yes it is. Triple H, Ric Flair and Dave Bautista are notorious for torturing their teammates who they deemed not worthy to be in their group. If you show weakness, it could be the end for you."

"I thought that was hear say." Said John

"It's been happening for months." Said Taker

Randy, John, Chris, Matt and Madison looked at the Phenom.

"I've seen guys with great potential who were put into Evolution and never made it past their first year in the WWE. So yes Matt, it is a big thing."

Randy looked back at the script. He didn't want it to be true, but given what Taker had said; he didn't know what to do.

"So, what are you going to do Randall?" asked Taker

Randy looked up.

"I don't know."

"You need to make a choice soon. You only have a few weeks before you new storyline starts.

"Yes sir."

Randy was in his own world, thinking about what was said. He didn't know what to do. On one hand, it would be an honor working with Evolution, but then again, it what Taker said was true….. He was brought back out of his stupor by Chris's voice as he and Matt were talking about their storylines. Chris was complaining about the fact that he had to be in a feud with Jake Green while Matt talked about his feud with Brian Kendrick. Madison had fallen asleep on Matt's lap with her head on Matt's Shoulder.

Taker and John were talking about the possibility of adding new masters. Randy looked back at his script. What's the worst that could happen?
