Chapter 6

"Welcome to TNA Impact. We have a huge show for you tonight! I am Mike Tenay alongside my broadcast partner, Taz. How are you doing tonight?"

"I'm pretty nervous right now actually. I have been thinking about this Ultimate X match all week."

"Well Taz, you don't have to think about it anymore because here come the Guns!"

'MotorCity' began to play through the speakers as Jeremy Borash announced the guys.

"Our first match tonight on Impact is an Ultimate X-stipulation match. Coming to the ring first, from Detroit, Michigan…The Motor City Machine Guns!" The ImpactZone erupted as Alex and Chris walked down through the tunnel and towards the ring not stopping to do their trademark 'guns'.

"The Guns just don't look like themselves out there right now." Taz pointed out the somber and serious looks as the Guns made their way down to the ring.

"You are right partner. They came down and are ready for a fight. But they do look confused by the cage in front of the ring. And I don't blame them. I'm not sure what it is for either." Tenay said as the Guns got into the ring.

As soon as the Guns music stopped, they started walking towards the ropes closest to the ramp.

"Whoa! Hold on boys!" Max's voice sounded through the ImpactZone as Alex and Chris started going through the ropes. "You see, we aren't stupid." Finally Generation Me came walking through the tunnel with Maggie.

"What are you doing with my sister?" Alex asked grabbing a microphone.

"Well, the way to win this match is for you to rescue her. The winner of the match is the first team or person to unlock the cage door with the key up on the 'X' and then take her up the ramp!" He said as they slowly started making their way down the ramp.

"I cannot believe that they are bringing her out here! Is that a black-eye?" Tenay asked as Generation Me and Maggie walked by the broadcast table.

"Yes it is! The Guns won't be happy to see that!"

"If I were you two, I would go to the other side of the ring…unless you want to see Maggie here laid out right here on the concrete." Max said as Alex and Chris stood on the apron waiting.

"No! Don't hurt her!" Chris yelled as Generation Me grabbed Maggie. The Guns backed up as the Bucks and Maggie got to the cage. They pushed Maggie down into the chair and fixed a pair of handcuffs on each side of the chair.

"They are even handcuffing her to the chair! This is crap!" Taz said as Max stood up. Before he could get out of the cage, Maggie kicked him as hard as she could.

"She just kicked Max Buck out of the cage and right into the ring where the Guns are ready to go!" Tenay said as the Guns took the moment of shock as their chance to start the match.

"That looks like something Alex Shelley would do!" Taz said excitedly as the referee rang the bell to officially start the match.

With the slight help from Maggie to start the match, the Guns were in complete control. With Max down on the outside and Chris handling Jeremy inside the ring, Alex jumped out of the ring quickly and went to the cage.

"Mags, you okay?" When she looked up at him, he finally saw the bruise around her eye. He could feel the rage boiling down deeper than he could ever have thought. He knew Generation Me wanted the belts, but this was now getting out of hand. His sister didn't deserve any of this.

"I'm fine…please get me out of here!" She said between sobs. Alex slid back into the ring where Chris was punching Jeremy.

"She's got a black-eye!" He yelled over the roar of the crowd.

"What?" Chris asked pausing long enough for Jeremy to walk to the ropes.

"I said…" Alex started again.

"I heard what you said! I just can't believe they hit her!" He ran at Jeremy and clotheslined him over the ropes. Jeremy just missed hitting the cage, but Chris was not done. He backed up to the ropes and ran across the ring jumping through the top and middle ropes.

"Sabin just hit a suicide dive on Jeremy Buck right next to the cage!" Taz yelled with excitement. Chris picked Jeremy up by the hair and tossed him back into the ring where Alex pushed him into the turnbuckle. Chris rolled into the ring as Alex jumped to the apron.

"Here is where the Guns are at their best!" Tenay said as the Guns double-teamed Jeremy with The Motor City Machine Guns Sandwich, with Alex hitting an enzuigiri to the back of his head and Chris hitting him with a Running arched big boot. Alex climbed to the top rope as Chris grabbed Jeremy and turned him around for a neckbreaker.

"Skull and Bones! Taz yelled as Alex jumped from the top rope. "Get the key!"

Alex pointed to the key from his place on the mat as Chris climbed to the top rope and shimmied his way across the cables to get the key. He had no problem getting the key down from the 'X'.

"Sabin has the key! Now all he has to do is get Maggie up the ramp!" Tenay said as Chris dropped to the floor.

As Chris rolled out of the ring Max attacked the referee from behind. He pushed Val off the chair, picked it up and slid back into the ring. With Jeremy distracting Alex, Max hit him in the back. He fell to the ground holding his back. Chris didn't see any of happenings in the ring. He was already in the cage starting to unhook the handcuffs.

"We'll get you out of here Mags." He whispered trying to unlock her hands.

"CHRIS! LOOK OUT!" Maggie yelled when she saw Max walking up behind Chris. Before he could turn around Max hit him with the chair. With Chris down on the floor, Max picked up the key and finished unlocking the cuffs. He picked Maggie up off the chair. She started swinging her arms, but he was a lot stronger than she was and overpowered her. Chris tried to stop Max by grabbing his leg, but he kicked him off easily. Maggie looked into the ring to find her brother, but only saw Jeremy putting a chair around her brother's arm as he lay motionless in the middle of the ring. She knew that was a sure-fire way to break an arm. She tried pushing Max away, but he was holding on tight so she did the next best thing. She stepped on his foot as hard as she could and then kicked her leg behind her. He fell to the ground in extreme pain. Maggie ran into the ring just before Jeremy stomped on the chair. She hit him in the back hoping that Alex would get off the mat. The only thing it did was to make Jeremy turn around. She didn't even have time to move before he slapped her in the face. She fell back into the corner. Max slid into the ring and went to Alex with a set of handcuffs.

"Leave him alone!" She yelled as they pulled him to the ropes. "Chris!" She yelled toward the cage, but found out yelling wasn't going to help. He was handcuffed to the cage door with blood running down her face. When Generation Me had Alex secured to the rope, Max grabbed the chair and Jeremy picked her up.

"Here's what you get for hitting me and my brother!" Max said holding the chair over his head and swung it at her brother's shoulder a few times. She screamed as she saw him get out of the ring and walk towards Chris.

"NO!" She yelled as Max shoved the top of the chair into Chris' head. She knew it wasn't good when he barely even flinched. She looked back at her brother lying still against the ropes. "ALEX! Wake up Alex! Please!" Jeremy pushed her out of the ring before grabbing her again and dragging her up the ramp where Max was waiting for them. The referee looked up just as Generation Me got to the top of the ramp. He motioned for the bell as Max grabbed a microphone.

"See you two at Against All Odds!" He grabbed Maggie and left the arena.

"They cheated! Generation Me knocked over the referee and then used a chair on both the Guns!" Mike Tenay said as they watched paramedics running down the ramp.

"This isn't good partner. Sabin is having a hard time getting past the paramedics. All he wants to do is get over to his partner. Shelley isn't moving after those vicious chair shots."

"Maggie tried to help her brother, but all it got her was a slap to the face and a front row seat to more injury for the Motor City Machine Guns." Tenay said as the paramedics cut the handcuffs off Alex.

"It looks like they are bringing out a stretcher for Shelley." Taz said as the stretcher rolled by. They watched in silence as Sabin was helped to the back and Shelley was put on the stretcher.

"We'll keep you posted throughout the evening as we get more information on both Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin." Tenay said as Alex was wheeled to the back.

ReACTION!

The camera zoomed into a room where a trainer was finishing a stitch in Chris Sabin's forehead.

"Chris, any thoughts on the match tonight?" Once the trainer was finished Chris looked over.

"Any thoughts? Are you kidding? Of course I have thoughts about what happened tonight! My first thought is Maggie. That girl is important to both Alex and me. She showed us tonight that she is a fighter, but how much more can one person handle? It's already been a month. My second thoughts are on my best friend who is on his way to the hospital right now. My final thoughts are on those punk-bitches! They cheated and everyone knows it. They will NOT get away with this. They'll get what is coming to them!" With that Chris stood up and walked out the door.
