I got this up quicker then I thought I would. A bit of language in this chapter. Any guesses who the captain might be. Here, I'll give you a clue. Actually I won't, your just going to have to keep reading.

Chapter 3

Third Person POV

The sea calmed down long enough for everybody to be dragged to the unknown island. Chaos had just struck and lord only knew who was alive now. Deep in the forest of the island, the boat captain lay, waiting.

"All has gone well", he says to himself. "It's only a matter of time before my revenge sets in and I can get who I want", he laughs aloud, getting to his feet.

"Lets see if anyone's arrived yet".

As he sets of in search of superstars, unbeknown to him, the first of them arrive. Washed onto the beach at the coast of the island, lying face first in the sand, was none other then Jason Reso.

Jay's POV

"Hey, do you see that?", Dave says loudly to Mark and Glenn, pointing at the speedboat.

Both men look to were his hand is pointing. "Is that the captain?", Glenn asks surprised.

At that question, other superstars begin to gather around the three men.

"I think it is!", Kurt states loudly.

Adam, Chris and I look on and after exchanging confused glances at each other, we walk over to where the others are. Paul and Shawn quickly follow and push through us to the front.

"What the hell!", Paul exclaims once he sees the captain.

"What's he doing? Who's driving the boat!", Shawn also exclaims.

"Nobody, it's on autopilot", we all turn to see Terry standing near the captain's cabin.

"Ok, everyone. Calm down. I'll try and find out what the hell he thinks he's playing at", Paul says taking lead.

I look at Adam to see him craning his neck to get a better look. Chris is also trying to see. While they attempt to find a good spot for viewing, I decide to push my way through the crowd. With my small form, it's easy to get past unnoticed. When I reach the front, I spot Jeff Hardy with his neck arched out to sea. I go up beside him and do the same. I find the captain in his small speedboat but can't make out who it is.

"What's he doing Jeff?", I say through the superstars arguing voices.

Jeff leans out a little further before answering, "I've no idea man", he pauses and twists his head a bit.

I follow his gaze to find that the speedboat has stopped. I look at Jeff again and this time he looks at me. The expressions in our eyes are enough to know we are thinking the same thing. What's he doing? We both turn our attention back to the boat. The captain stays still, from my point of view. Without warning, a loud explosion knocks me out of my trance. It also knocks me out of the boat. I fall straight into the water, landing deep in it. I push my way to the surface of the sea. I look up to the others but see only the edge of the boat. Superstars begin to shout. I hear flames from the boat. This is bad.

I try to get someone's attention, "Hey, can somebody help me? Adam, Chris, anyone".

"Jeffffff, hold on", Matt Hardy's recognizable screams overtake my own.

I follow his voice to see his head looking down into the water from the boat.

"Matt", I shout loudly.

He turns his head to me and a look of shock crosses his face. "Jay", is all he says.

I stare at him before thinking back to what he had screamed about. I think back to moments ago and who was beside me.

"Did Jeff fall in Matt", I ask.

He doesn't say anything. "Matt", I shout.

He snaps out of it and answers, "What?".

"Did Jeff fall into the water?".

He wait's a few seconds. "Yeah but I can't see him", he replies in desperation.

"I'll look for him", I say before going back under.

I swim around quickly. My nerves spike when I don't find him. I go deeper but have to come up for air. I look up to see Matt with little hope left in his eyes. I go back under again, desperately searching for my friend. With no luck for the second time, I come back up.

This time, I'm greeted by Paul's voice, "Brace yourselves".

'For what?' , I think to myself.

"Jay, get out of there", Matt shouts down to me.

"Why, what's wrong?".

I don't get an answer though, as all becomes apparent. A huge wave, at least 100 feet high, is coming our way. My eyes go wide in shock and I glance at Matt one more time. I don't have a hope of getting out of this one. Jeff's missing, the boat's on fire and about to be obliterated by water. I brace myself … The waves smashes into the boat causing me to hit of the side. I slip into darkness, holding onto a piece of wood. The last thing I see is the speedboat leave the water.

I open my eyes, the pounding in my head awakening me. The first thing I notice is the hard yet soft surface I'm lying on. I feel with my hands, the sandy grains beneath me. I gently lift my head but the movement still hurts. I can't help but emit a groan at the feeling in my head and at how weak I feel. I blink a few times to make sure I'm not dreaming. The frothy water that runs up to my legs confirms it. What happened on the boat wasn't a dream. I push myself up, pain running through my limbs. I turn to my side but fall onto my back. I breath deeply, taking in where I possibly am. I stare up at the sky.

The light blue blinds me, the sun sitting in the corner of it. After a minute of rest, I slowly sit up, like The Undertaker but much slower. My worst nightmare comes true as I realize where I am. I'm stranded on an island. I look to my right to see bits of wood from the boat sitting near me. I feel pain coming from my arm and turn my head down to see scarlet staining it. I find a long gash across my arm. I gasp, I've never had a cut that bad. I do what first comes to my mind. Grabbing the end of my shirt, I dig my nails into it and pull. Somehow I rip a part of it off. I tie it around my arm tightly. It hurts like hell but will hopefully stop the bleeding.

I start to stand up, using my hands as support. Once I'm comfortably on my feet I observe my surroundings. The wood I saw is there, as is a lot of sand. I run my hands through my hair in shock. I notice my hair is wet again, full of sand and knotted. I put my hands to my side and look behind me. Deep green forests cover the interior of the island. I look at my trousers to see they're sodden. My shirt is also soaked. I walk to the right over to where the wood is. I ignore the pain in my head and bend down. I shove the pieces of wood away, trying to find anything that could help. I reach the bottom of the pile, having found nothing. I grunt, angry and still in shock.

I stand up again and stare ahead of me. "How could this happen?", I say to myself. I think of everyone that was on the boat.

"Adam", I say out loud, knowing I may never see him again. "Chris, Jeff, everyone", I continue, my heart aching.

I feel tears sting my eyes. What if they didn't make it. What if they're lost at sea. Then my thoughts wander to that damn boat captain. He did this. The psychopathic man has done this to us all. He drove of and left us to die. My mind takes me back to when he was on that speedboat, driving away. He went the same way the boat was supposed to be heading. To where it was then drifting. To the island I'm on.

I blink my eyes hard, the tears disappearing and without a second's thought, I run into the forest. I go as fast as my legs will let me. I keep going, searching for him, pleading that he's here so I can kill him. I keep running till I reach a patch in the middle of the forest. My legs give out and I fall to my knees. I put my hands to my head and look down.

"You bastard", I say, "You bastard".

"I'm going to find you, and kill you. You're going straight to hell. I'll get you….I'll get you", I shout into the air.

I fall into a sitting position. With my head tilted down, warm tears come to my eyes once more, creating a river on my cheek. "What do I do now?", I whisper.

"Is that you Reso?", I snap my head up suddenly the moment my name is said.

I know that voice. I turn my head and sure as I was, standing there is Paul Levesque.

"P…Paul", I say, unsure if he's real.

He nods to me. I get of the grassy area and stand straight. He looks worriedly at me. I drag my feet over to him and stop in front of him.

"Are you ok?", he says, placing his large hands on my shoulders.

"I ...I don't know", I reply honestly.

I put my hand to my cheek and swipe the tears away. He looks at me.

"I'm glad you're alive, Jason", he says sincerely.

I wait for a moment, hope filling my heart. I smile sadly, "Me too. I'm glad you're alright". I wait again before asking, "Have you seen anyone else".

"No", he replies frustrated, "I just woke up on a beach back there. I decided to look around, for the guys and any luggage that might help. I only found you when I heard you shouting".

"I got mad and upset", I defend myself, "The captain did this, you know that right?", I ask angrily.

"I know Jay", he replies shamefully, "He's gone now though. We should just concentrate on getting out of here".

"I don't think he's gone Hunter", I reply, using his superstar name.

"What do you mean?", he asks confused.

"I saw him drive off before I blacked out. He was heading the same way the boat was. To this island".

He looks at me, shock overtaking his face, "Are you sure?".

"Pretty sure", I answer anxiously.

He takes his hands from my shoulders and punches the nearest tree. "God damn it. If he wanted us to purposely end up on this island, then he must have more in store. Who the hell would do this?", he says to me.

I say nothing, I don't know what to. He puts his arm on the tree and leans on it.

"We have to find the others and get out of here", he says tiredly.

I look at him though he doesn't look back. I walk towards him, "What if we are the only ones left?", I say quietly.

He looks at me this time, dagger eyes piercing my face. "We can't think like that, Reso", he spouts using my surname again. I drop my head, my eyes watching the ground.

"Listen, I know there were people on that boat that you care about", he says, his voice softening. I think of Adam mainly.

He sighs, "There's people I care about too", he says sadly. I know he means Shawn.

"I bet they're out there, looking and worrying about us".

I lift my head to his level. "We will find them, we just have to stick together".

I nod in response. He comes over to me, "Lets go find our friends, Reso". I smile hopefully and so does he. We trek through the forest, making our way to the beach. We will find them.

Adam's Pov

Owwww. That hurts. I crack my eyes open a little, peeking out. Baby Blue peeks back in. I open my eyes fully to see a bright sky looking at me. I sit up quickly and immediately regret it. My stomach does somersaults.

"Uh, I think I'm going to get sick", I say before running to the water.

I puke into it for a few seconds before stopping. I wipe my mouth roughly with the back of my hand. I walk briskly back onto the beach but stop midway.

"Wait", I say in confusion. I look to the sea and back to the beach. I put my hand up in confusion and point between the two.

"What the fuck?", I shout loudly, realizing I'm not on the boat anymore.

Then it all comes flooding back to me. The captain leaving, boat exploding, the wave coming, everything. I tilt my head down and see sand. I twist around to see more sand and forest. I lift my eyebrows in shock. I bring my head back to the water and look along the coast of the beach. Not far from me, lying slumped on the sand is a person. Not just any person. From the distance, I make it out to be Chris Jericho. I gasp and start running to him. The sand is gentle and lets me run swiftly. I reach him in seconds and immediately drop down beside his body. I lean my head down and listen to his heart. It's still beating. I check his pulse and find one. I start shaking his seemingly lifeless form. I get no response.

"Come on Jericho", I say still shaking him.

A dreadful minute passes by, still no response from Chris. I pray silently. I then look up to the sky, "Come on God, you owe me".

Next thing I hear is spluttering. I look down and see Chris turned on his side, spitting water out. I slap his back to help him and glance at the sky and smile, "You don't really owe me but thanks anyway".

Chris continues to cough violently. I wait a minute till he finishes and then I help him sit up. He breathes in and out deeply. He moves his eyes to my face once he notices I'm there.

"Adam", he breathes out, "Where am I?".

"On an island. The boat, remember".

His mouth turns into an o before he says, "Oh yeah. That really happened. Thanks for sort of saving me from that wave.", he pauses taking it in, "WAIT, Did you say an island", he exclaims loudly.

I flinch at his sudden movement. He gets to his feet and starts frantically walking around in circles. I watch him for a minute.

"How could this happen. I'm Chris Jericho. I don't get stuck on islands in the middle of nowhere. What do we do? We're gonna starve or be eaten by Jaws or something awful", he rants.

I get to my own feet as he begins to question Jaws existence. "Chris, stop it", I intervene, shouting in his face. His speech fades into silence.

"You're alive now, that's what matters", I say quieter.

He looks at me with an apologetic face. I pull him into a hug and he accepts it. "I'm sorry Adam", he mutters.

We pull away and I look at him carefully. "You hurt anywhere?".

He observes himself, "Not that I can see. My head hurts a little and my chest but I'm alright. Are you?".

"Same really. No serious damage", I say.

"What about the others?", he asks.

"I don't know", I hear a hint of sadness in my voice.

Chris must too cause he says, "He's alive, I know he is".

"I couldn't find him before the boat was hit. What if…", I trail of. I feel a line of tears form in my eyes.

"No Adam. Just no. We'll find him. We have to. This is Jay we're talking about. He probably swam here and is looking for us", he says comforting me.

"Ok", I say wiping my eyes. I hate feeling like this. Edge isn't like this and neither is Adam. I'm strong and have the guts to get through this.

I quickly regain composure and get back into my normal attitude. After a long silence, I finally say, "What now? Do we go look for the others".

Chris takes a moment to think before he replies, "Yeah, lets do that". I look behind us to the forest.

"Lets go then", he says walking ahead of me. I sigh before walking up to him and to the forest.

Third person POV

At the west of the island on one of the beaches, the boat captain stands over a fallen superstar. He breathes in the fresh air and smirks smugly. His evil eyes taking in the eliminated superstars appearance.

"One down already, this is too easy", the captain beams. "Not who I wanted to go but what are you going to do". He bends down and touches the superstars head. He grabs a bunch of hair and yanks it up.

The mans face is visible. The 'captain' tuts and says, "Look at you".

He shoves the mans head down into the sand and straightens up. "I can't choose who dies can I. It's just a twist of fate for you", he laughs aloud.

"You know I hate when brothers fight. And making mistakes can damage relationships. But brothers, well, they always seem to make up in the end", he says to the young superstar, "Too bad you'll never see yours again".

He sneers and kicks the superstar's head. "You never were that useful anyway, Hardy". The captain walks away satisfied, leaving the Hardy Boy alone once more.


So one of the Hardys is dead. Which one though? Leave guesses in the reviews. Hope you enjoyed.
