Chapter Four - Trials and Tribulations

-x- ECW on SciFi -x-

'Don't Question My Heart' started playing throughout the stadium and the pyrotechnics shot into the air, exciting the crowd, readying them for the Tuesday night show. Then, the camera focused in on the Land of Extreme's announcers, Tazz and Joey Styles.

"Welcome to the Land of Extreme, everyone!" Joey said enthusiastically.

"Before we start the action tonight, let's review what happened on RAW last night," Tazz commented.

The attention of everyone in attendance was captured by the Titan-Tron as the Raw Rebound played, showing the situation involving Rain Ryan. Her three matches were discussed in detail. Once the clip of Vince describing the Trials and Tribulations finished, Rain's official new theme music, 'Going Down in Flames' started playing throughout the stadium. Everyone jumped out of their seats in excitement, ready to see what this woman could really do.

Rain flew her way out from behind the curtain and down the ramp to start out her long night. Well, not that long, but it would be tiring after she got done. Once she got into the ring, she climbed onto the ring corner and did her own hand signal, which looks like 'I love you' in sign language, only with a scandalous middle finger instead of her index finger. Instead of the attire from the night before, she was wearing Bermuda shorts and a tight-fitting tank top tonight decorated with the same flame design. She finally stood stationary in the ring, awaiting her first opponent.

Beth Phoenix's music hit hard as it rang out from the speakers. She walked out from behind the curtain, looking menacing and strong as she stalked down the ramp. She climbed onto the apron, and scaled the ring post to perform her signature flip into the four-sided ring. Beth gazed at Rain from across the ring as they waited for the match to begin.

"This match is scheduled for one-fall," Tony Chimel announced, "and it is a Beat the Clock match. First, from Detroit, Michigan, Rain Ryan!" Rain threw her hand signal into the air. "And hailing from Buffalo, New York, Beth Phoenix!" The crowd booed her as she formed her hands into a phoenix above her head.

As the bell sounded, the five-minute timer started up. Rain wasted no time, pulling the Glamazon straight into a headlock. Beth used her strength and pulled Rain's arms away from her neck and swung around to face Rain. The woman under trial thought smart, and kicked Beth in the gut before Beth could attempt to do anything. The Glamazon recovered fast, but certainly not fast enough. Rain Irish-Whipped herself off the ropes and knocked Beth down with a flying forearm. Beth Phoenix was knocked down to the mat, and Rain dropped an elbow onto her stomach.

Leaving the Glamazon dazed, Rain waited for the perfect time to execute her powerful new move. As Beth tried to recover and pull herself off the mat, Rain ran up the turnbuckles and executed a flying back kick to the chest of Beth Phoenix. Rain Ryan threw herself on top of the Glamazon and hooked her leg for the three-count, and the pin. Everyone looked to see how fast Rain had defeated her opponent, to see two minutes left on the timer.

"Wow, Joey, that match was very quick and precise, don't cha think?" Tazz asked his co-announcer.

"No doubt, Tazz. But now she has a match against one of our new ECW Superstars, Xavier Justice. Justice was the one who turned this young woman in to Vince McMahon, and broke her best friend's heart. This is a Grudge match for everything he's put her through," Joey commentated to the television audience.

"And here he comes now," Tazz announced.

'Prelude 12/21' blared out through the speakers as the crowd booed him. The bass line hit and he strutted out from behind the curtain differently. Instead of all hyped-up as usual, he came out with a smirk on his face and a cocky aura. Everyone treated Xavier as the jerk that he had showed the night before, which in turn made the audience scream at him even more. Justice crawled his way into the ring and handed off his robe to the referee.

"This match is scheduled for one-fall, and it is a Grudge match. Weighing in at 230 pounds, 'Xplicit' Xavier Justice!" The heaviness of the screaming intensified, Xavier just stood there, staring down his opponent.

"Is this really what you wanted, to watch my demise?" Rain said from across the squared circle.

"If I never see you in this ring again, then yes," Xavier answered back.

"What about Jazz? Do you know how much you hurt her?"

"I didn't think I would. Or even lose her. But regrets are too late now."

The bell sounded and the two went straight into an arm lock. Xavier pushed her down into the corner, and losing her balance, Rain fell down to the mat. The referee made Justice back off to let Rain recover. As soon as she was back up on her feet, she jabbed her shoulder into his gut. He doubled over in pain as she bounced off the ropes closest to her and performed a front dropkick to his side. Xavier went down and slid himself over to the corner.

Rain stood back and let him recover, which was a bad mistake. He rushed her back into the corner and went to throw his body weight into her gut, but she moved just in time. His shoulder hit the ring post and he screamed in pain. She grabbed his arm and threw him into the ropes, but he reversed it and threw her against the ropes. Rain held onto the ropes, using the force of inertia. He was bent down, expecting her to bounce back so he could throw her over the ropes. She went over to him and kicked him in the chest, making him fall to the ground in pain.

When he started to recover, she bounced him off the ropes, performing her finishing move that she called Pop Goes the Daisy. She executed a back flip and front dropkicked Xavier in the chest. He went down flying to the mat and she hooked his leg for the pin.

"This match was a vicious one! I can't believe the strength and endurance of this woman!" Joey exclaimed into his headset.

"Now, the next match is a tag team match against the WWE Tag Team Champions. Now Rain Ryan now has the choice of her own partner," Tazz commentated. "If I was her, I would be picking someone big, like The Great Khali or even Umaga."

"Or someone with a tag team championship past, like either one of the Hardy brothers, or even Edge," Joey added to the thoughts.

Rain called for a microphone so she could announce to the entire WWE Universe who her tag team partner would be.

"As you all know, my next match is a tag team match, and I get the choice of my own partner. I think it might be a big surprise but I thought of this person as being the best qualified." Rain motioned towards the ramp as she finished her thoughts.

'Maneater' blared throughout the speakers as Jasmine Delilah came out, in a dark blue outfit to match her best friend's ring attire. Everyone gasped and screamed in excitement for the Diva Search winner.

Jasmine strutted her way down to the ring to her surrogate sister and climbed into the squared circle, completing the meeting with a hug.

"You ready for this?" Rain said to her best friend.

"Bring it on, baby!" Jasmine screamed.

"Give it all you got, Jazz, I know your potential. But I need you to kick ass out there, these guys will do anything."

"Your wish is my command, girl," Jasmine said, grinning.

'Ain't No Make Believe' played throughout the speakers as John Morrison and The Miz made their way out of the curtain. They performed their 'slow-mo' entrances and headed down the ramp and into the ring.

John Morrison had a microphone in hand as he climbed into the ring.

"Ladies, are you sure you want to do this?" Morrison said, trying to reconcile with the friends. "I mean, you can back out right now, so we don't have to hurt you."

The Miz nodded his head in agreement and took the microphone from his partner's hand. "C'mon, we don't wanna hurt you."

The best friends looked at each other and looked back at the Tag Team Champions, eyebrows raised. Well, Jasmine tried – it wasn't a very good attempt. Jasmine almost lunged towards the two egomaniacs, but Rain stopped her.

"Let me go! Let me just take one swing at 'em!" Jasmine screamed, Rain's arms wrapped around her stomach.

"Cool it, I think Teddy and Vince are coming out. At least, that's what my head is telling me," Rain whispered into her ear.

'No Chance in Hell' played throughout the speakers, as Vince McMahon and Teddy Long came out from behind the curtain and stood stationary at the top of the ramp.

"Sometimes I hate it when you do that," Jasmine whispered to Rain, as she quit struggling against her hold.

"John Morrison, The Miz, do you have a problem facing these women tonight?" Vince said into the microphone that he had brought out with him.

"Far from, Mr. McMahon. We just don't want to hurt these fine ladies," Morrison spoke.

"We don't wanna look like asswipes by beating these ladies, sir," The Chick Magnet added onto the thought.

Rain started shooting glares at them. She almost charged after them this time.

Jasmine grabbed her arm and said, "Save it for the match, Ray."

Teddy Long spoke up first. "Well guys, if you think you're so pimping, why not let this match be for the titles?"

"I think that's a wonderful idea, Teddy. This match is now a title match for the WWE Tag Team championships," Vince agreed with the thought, trailing his way back up the ramp with Teddy Long at his side, his famous smirk smeared across his face. "And remember Rain, if you don't win this match, you can't become a WWE Superstar."

Rain and Jasmine looked at each other and smiled. The surrogate sisters knew they had this in the bag; when they were first training they partnered up and made a wonderful tag team. Morrison and Miz looked at each other, wide-eyed, knowing that they were in for a lot in this match.

Jasmine and Rain went to their side of the ring, and played rock-paper-scissors for who was in first. Rain won, and noticed her opponent would be The Miz. The bell sounded and as Rain went in for an arm lock, Miz just slapped her arms away. Rain looked over at him with fiery eyes, but then decided to play along with The Miz. Miz went up to her, and started slapping her again; she played slaps right back with him. Miz backed away from her and started laughing, including his partner Morrison.

Do they really think this is how it's gonna work? Rain thought to herself.

Rain looked at them with innocent eyes, but then speared Miz straight to the ground, punching him several times in the head. She backed off so she wouldn't get disqualified, and looked over at Morrison in the corner. He noticed in her eyes that she wasn't here to play games; that she, and her partner Jasmine, were ready to rumble.

Rain grabbed Miz by his Mohawk and dragged him over to the corner where Jasmine was awaiting the tag.

The best friends slapped hands, and Rain threw him into the corner as Jasmine crawled into the ring and dropkicked him in the stomach. Jasmine pulled him out of the corner and executed the perfect bulldog. She went for the pin, but The Miz kicked out at two. They both stood up at the same time, and Miz hurriedly kneed Jasmine in the stomach. He dragged her over to his corner and as he tagged in Morrison, Jasmine picked herself up off the mat using the ropes. Morrison grabbed her head and kicked her straight in the stomach. She doubled over in pain and dropped down to her knees, clutching her midsection.

Morrison bragged to the crowd, not paying any attention. Jasmine pulled herself up, awaiting for The Tuesday Night Delight to turn around. As soon as he turned around, Jasmine kicked him in the stomach, grabbed his neck, and pulled him into a Twist of Fate. She pulled him into a pin, but Morrison barely kicked out at two. Jasmine pulled him into the standing position and dragged him over to the corner where her tag team partner was. Rain and Jasmine slapped hands, making the tag, and they looked at each other, knowing what move to do.

Jasmine and Rain dropkicked consecutively, Jasmine to the head, Rain to the knees. Rain pulled Morrison up from the mat, and delivered a roundhouse kick to his perfectly shaped abdomen. That knocked him straight back down to the mat, and Rain stalked over the Shaman of Sexy. Rain performed a leg drop right dead on his neck as he writhed in pain. Rain waited until Morrison was back up onto his feet before she turned around and sprinted towards him, spearing him straight to the mat. She started throwing punches into his skull, and that's when she looked up over at her partner.

Jasmine was grinning, ear to ear, knowing that she and the fool John Morrison were ready to perform one of her favorite moves. Rain smashed the cocky Superstar's head into the mat a few more times, before she gave the tag to her best friend. The chants of "Jas-mine, Jas-mine!" erupted throughout the stadium as Jasmine climbed up the ring post and executed the perfect Swanton Bomb onto Morrison.

Jasmine hooked the leg of John Morrison, and the three-count started. The Miz caught on that they might get the win, and ran after them to stop the count. That's when Rain performed her signature move, Pop Goes the Daisy, starting out with the back flip, and after landing, planted a front dropkick on the chest of the Chick Magnet, allowing Jasmine to get the three-count and the win. Along with some tag team championship belts.

"OH MY GOD!" Joey Styles screamed.

"My thoughts exactly, Joey. Not only is Rain Ryan an official WWE Superstar, she and her best friend Jasmine Delilah are the new WWE Tag Team Champions!"

Meanwhile, the two best friends were in the ring celebrating with their championship belts. Rain watched as the former tag champions rolled their way out of the ring. Rain looked down at them, title belt in the air, threatening them that the next time they tried anything ever again, that they would have to deal with her. As they celebrated all over the ring, Jasmine yelled over to Rain to get closer.

"It's my turn this time. Mr. McMahon's coming out in a sec," Jasmine said as 'No Chance in Hell' started playing through the speakers. Rain giggled as Vince and Teddy walked their way down the ramp.

"Congratulations ladies on the win and the Tag Team Championship belts. Oh and congrats to you, Ms. Ryan for completing the Trials and Tribulations. You definitely deserve the title of becoming a WWE Superstar," Mr. McMahon said to the brand new Superstar. "But that's not exactly why I'm out here."

"I thought that all I needed to do was win all three of those matches. What else do I need to do?" Rain questioned her new boss.

"It actually has nothing to do with that. I had to run through your records, to make sure you would make a good employee. And well, as I was doing some research, I found out something about you. I don't know if you think it's good or bad, but…" Vince slowly stalled near the end of his sentence.

"What is it?" Rain said, unsure of the information Mr. McMahon acquired.

"I found out through your family tree that you have a sibling that is a WWE Superstar." Vince glanced over at the surprised expression on Rain's face.

"But I don't have a sibling…" Rain stated, so confused.

"Apparently you do. It's your half sibling, through your dead father's side," Vince said, knowing the terror setting in with the words he spoke. "Your father was involved in an affair before he was with your mother."

"Who is it?" Rain insisted.

"I can't tell you just yet. I don't know all the details, but I will know by next week on Raw. I will tell you, and the entire WWE Universe, then." Vince handed his microphone off to the announcer and climbed out of the ring, Teddy Long following him.

The Tuesday Night show went to commercial, with the new Tag Team Champs in the ring, with frantic looks on their faces.
