A/N: Dave has more than just trapping him in a glass jar for Hunter...read on to find out what happens next! Also, in the spirit of NXT, I figured to have the rookies show up here. As an added bonus, Jericho is in line to replace Jeff, since he will be causing his own chaos at TNA.
Chapter 7- Chaotic Times Call For Chaotic Measures
After he and Lillian were done fooling around, Dave turned his attention once more to Hunter.
"What shall I do to you now?" he asked a frightened and confused Hunter.
"I think you should turn him back to normal size and then flay him," Lillian suggested.
"That would just be sick," Dave replied. "I'll find something else to torture him with."
"And what would that be?" Lillian asked.
"Turning him back to normal size and roast him over a fire."
"How sick," Lillian groaned, holding her stomach.
"Just turning him back and making him watch us fuck?" Dave snickered.
"That is just frightening," Lillian said. "He may get some ideas—oh, wait, that's right—Stephanie's dead."
"How can you say that?" Hunter shouted from his glass prison.
"But she is dead, dear Hunter," Dave replied. "We killed her a while ago—trust me, the young ones had her blood for their dinner."
"WHAT?" Hunter roared.
"It was simple. We caused her, Vickie, and Teddy to become combustible from the inside. Blood and guts all over the place." Dave laughed at his remark.
"Fuck you—and the horse you rode on," Hunter snapped.
"Excuse me?" Lillian shouted. "I ought to—."
"Ought to what?" Hunter shouted again.
"Rip you into shreds," Dave growled. "Now be nice to my lady—or else."
"Or else?" Hunter hissed.
"My new recruits will beat the shit out of you and personally show that to Vince and Linda," Randy said, calmly walking into the room with Alicia on his arm.
"New recruits?" Dave asked.
"Hell yeah—just got the Miz to let me take his rookie—that Daniel Bryan kid—and the other NXT rookies and use them as our little army," Randy explained.
"Nice work, I'll say," Beth said. "That Justin Gabriel is one cute little cookie."
"If you're good," John interrupted, "maybe I'll let you have him as a plaything."
"And for you, Lil," Dave cut in. "Take one for yourself. I have a suggestion—what about that Barrett kid?"
"He's built like a damn truck—like you," Matt snickered. "That's why you'd tell her to take Wade fucking Barrett as a prize?"
"Because she can have what she wants," Dave said.
"That's telling him," Alicia laughed.
"Alicia," Randy warned. "Stay out of it. When these two go at it, it's best to leave them alone."
"I like when everyone gets crazy," Alicia said. "It's cool."
"That's funny," Beth said. "I love all this excitement."
"Anyway," Matt said. "The NXT rookies. What's their purpose going to be? Protection against those who want to oppose us?"
"Pretty much," Dave replied.
"Well, then," Matt wondered. "What purpose will they serve? Not just protection to us—right?"
"Just that—and whatever we ask for," Dave replied.
"Good choice."
"Wonderfully put," Randy murmured.
"Anyway," Dave said. "Get the boys. I'm thinking I need to brief them on what their duties are."
"What are their duties, baby?" Lillian asked.
"They're to protect you at all times, even if anything isn't wrong," Dave explained. "They are also to make sure no one hurts any of us. If that happens, they have the absolute right to shoot to kill."
"Fair enough," Lillian replied.
The sound of footsteps cut through the silence. A door opened, and in walked the eight NXT rookies, followed by the Miz.
"Boys! Nice of you to show up," Dave said. "Take a seat—we've got to talk to you."
"Let me just say," Miz began. "This one," he said, pointing to Daniel, "is going to be of NO use—he can't even provide me with any protection."
"Fuck you!" Daniel spat.
"No, fuck you," Miz yelled. "Get it through your thick skull that you're worthless. You think you're going to protect these three? That is going to be a MIRACLE if you get that done."
"Mike! Stop that," Randy growled. "Give the kid a chance."
"When he gives me a chance to believe in him," Miz retorted.
"Just stop it," John hissed. "We're going to give him a chance to prove himself—to us and to you, Mike."
"Okay," Miz grumbled. "You get one chance—ONE—and if you fuck this up, you're going to meet my wrath."
"Yes, sir," Daniel grumbled under his breath.
"Good," John said. "Then it's settled. Daniel, my boy, you can start the first shift of protecting the girls. Are you going to be okay with that?"
"Yes, sir," Daniel replied.
"Well put," Dave said, a smile crossing his face.
"As for you boys," Randy said to the others. "You'll be working with us for now."
"What are we going to be doing?" Michael asked.
"Very good question, Mr. Tarver," Randy murmured. "The rest of you will be tending to these jars."
"Wait—is that HHH?" David asked, a smirk on his face.
"And Edge?" Wade asked. "I should be glad Chris isn't in one of those."
"Because you're here, he won't be," Dave promised.
"As a matter of fact," John cut in. "I believe that none of your pros will be in these jars as long as you're working for us."
"That is good to hear," Skip replied.
"I agree—but mine and Darren's pros are two of the djinn," Justin pointed out. "So if anything happens to us, they'll both rip a new asshole into whoever did it."
"So very true, young one," Matt said. "Very nice job."
"Thank you, Matt," Justin said. "I'm glad I remembered."
"Not a problem," Matt replied. "And we've got to replace Jeff, since he went off to TNA."
"How are you going to do that?" Darren asked him.
"Simple," Matt said. "We've got to convert another superstar."
"Hmm," Michelle murmured. "I think we should make Chris the next djinn."
"Makes sense—his rookie is right here," Lillian said.
"Then it's settled," Miz said. "Call Jericho in here—tell him it's important."
"Will do, sir," Justin volunteered.
A few minutes later, Chris walked into the room. "What's this about me becoming one of you?" he asked Dave.
"That's the truth—and Wade here will protect you as you sleep," Dave explained.
"Amazing. He is an amazing young man—I know he will do his best at protecting me," Chris replied.
"Then you agree?" Dave asked.
"I accept. I love having power and making those grovel beneath me," Chris answered.
"He speaks the truth," Phil said, running a quick scan over Chris.
"Nice. We will change you—and Wade, if you want," Dave promised.
"Leave him as human for now," Chris said. "You can change him later."
"If you insist," Dave said. "We will change him later, at your request."
"He's a strong one," Ken murmured, running his hand over the young man.
"And beautiful," Lillian said. "No wonder Dave wants me to keep him as my toy."
"But," Beth said. "What about Hunter?"
"Bring the jar forward," Dave ordered.
The jar was brought to Dave, who opened it and pulled Hunter out.
"What do you think he's going to do?" Darren whispered to Heath.
"I don't know," Heath whispered back.
"Just watch," Wade whispered to them.
"Now, Hunter," Dave growled. "I did say I wasn't done yet."
Hunter struggled to free himself. Dave, however, kept a tight grip on his former friend.
"Just stop struggling," Michelle said, trying to soothe the frightened man.
Hunter did as he was told. Dave resumed his taunting.
"Now, now, Hunter. We don't need you running to the authorities about us. But, what to do with you?" he asked.
"I know!" Darren yelled. "Burn him alive."
"Wonderful thought," Phil said. "I like you, Darren. I am going to reward you nicely when the time comes."
"Thank you, Phil," was all a stunned Darren could say. "Can that reward be me partying and having hot women all the time?"
Phil laughed. "Whatever you want."
Justin raised his hand. "What about making him dance till he burns to death?"
Dave's eyes widened. "Wow—I didn't know you boys had it in you."
"I like the dancing until he burns idea," Ken snickered.
"Then it'll be that," Dave said, putting Hunter back in his jar. "He burns tomorrow night. And, Hunter, you have Justin and Darren to thank for that."
