Chapter 9: The Beginning of the End

First Vince McMahon, her father, was taken out by Randy Orton by first a hard smack to the face followed by his finisher, the RKO. How else to end a mogul, a boss, a man just as twisted as you are, than with a sick and twisted punt to his skull, which is exactly what he had done.

Next, her sister, Stephanie McMahon, DDT'd dangerously into the mat while her husband, Paul Levesque, better known as The Game Triple H or simply put, just as Hunter, was handcuffed to the ropes. Paul reached out and tried to break the handcuffs to save his wife Stephanie from her ill fate, before the viper in his 'talking his prey-like' stance leaned down and kissed Stephanie. The Viper, better known as Randy Orton, had gotten into the head of Hunter.

Then there was the huge match at Backlash. Odds were met with the triumphant return of one of her closest family friends, Dave Batista, on the same team as her brother Shane and her brother-in-law also reigning champion Hunter pit against Legacy for the WWE Championship title. If anyone on, what the youngest and secret of the McMahon family joked, Team McMahon got the pin on any Legacy member, Hunter would remain champion; however if anyone on Team Legacy got the pin on any member of Team McMahon, their treacherous leader Randy Orton would become the WWE Champion. With Hunter down, Randy punted Hunter in the head, rendering him unconscious, and getting the pin and winning the title. Once again, Randy had successfully taken out another McMahon soldier.

The young princess was losing her mind, watching her family and protectors be picked off one by one. The worst part of it all was watching her best friend, one who considered himself Priceless, harm the ones she loved and vowed to protect somehow, some way. The Priceless wrestler had been ringside to watch Randy handcuff Hunter; he had also been there to go toe-to-toe with members of Team McMahon. The battle lines were growing increasingly thinner and thinner as soldier after soldier for the McMahon's were being eliminated.

On one side of the battlefield line stood Shane McMahon and his hidden sister, the one that was going to be the sole survivor of the McMahon's, Vanessa. On the other stood Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Ted DiBiase Jr. waiting to strike at any moment.

However things were different beyond war zones. Ted and Vanessa would be considered traitors to their own militia if they knew that Ted and Vanessa were always together. They had devised plans to give up some information without divulging into who she really was. Ted would be spotted trying to talk to her and get close to her, just as Randy wanted. They'd argue and snap at each other in public as well as coming to physical blows. Vanessa would smack or push Ted, and Ted would push and corner her to walls and small spaces, become forceful with her head or face. It was all an act and Randy, as well as other wrestlers and even her family, fell for.

Behind closed doors of the arena and hotel rooms, the touch and actions of the two were different. They were passionate and sensual. Hands were not coming in contact with the other's skin with force, but with love and affection. Words weren't hurtful and harsh, but caring and laced with seduction, sex appeal and lust. Sounds weren't yelling, but soft moans and names being called within whispers. Light bite marks and scratches had become the only physical contact they had with each other that would be considered violent.

Theodore Marvin DiBiase Jr. and Vanessa Monroe McMahon were more than just helping each other, they were in love.

They made if official between each other just days before the match that would put Hunter for a while. They should have been happy, however with circumstances and the fact that they were not going to be public put a huge damper on the whole situation. It didn't matter to Vanessa or Ted, because they had each other and that's what they wanted.

Ted and Vanessa were lying in bed, sheets covering them as Vanessa laid her head on Ted's chest. Ted ran his hands through her hair, looking up at the ceiling. Vanessa looked up at Ted, who looked down and locked eyes with her.

"What's on your mind baby?" Ted asked lovingly with a smile. Vanessa smiled and looked down immediately, knowing what is going to be his response.

"Shane and Dave are going to challenge Legacy to a match tomorrow night. I know there is a huge possibility that he can get hurt and be put out of sight for a while…" Vanessa started while tracing her finger along Ted's pectoral muscle. "…if the worst happens, I'm not going to let Randy think he's gotten rid of all the McMahon's. I'm thinking of revealing myself…"

Ted sat up in bed, looking down at Vanessa. Vanessa sat up looking Ted in his eyes that were full of worry. "You can't do that 'Nessa. I won't allow you to and I know damn well Shane, Steph and everyone wouldn't allow you to do that-"Ted started before Vanessa spoke once again.

"Shane and dad spoke. If that does happen, I'm becoming the General Manager of Raw. All paperwork has been done and I would be billed as a McMahon according to my father" Vanessa stated. "It's bound to happen and… I know it's coming soon."

Ted's mouth slowly gaped open and he started to look away from Vanessa. How could her family do this? How could he defend the one woman he loved, without giving up who he is on screen? "What are we supposed to do? What are we supposed to be?"

"A well kept secret…" Vanessa whispered. "Hopefully better than Paul and Steph, because everyone knew they were fuckin' married. I blame that one on dad"

"If your dad couldn't prevent the secret life of Paul and Stephanie from being public, what do you think will happen to the newly known and revealed McMahon daughter? What are you going to do when old pictures from childhood and proms pop up out of nowhere that contain one thing in every picture? There is one staple of information that is going to ruin us if it gets out there and you're known as a McMahon, Vanessa…" Ted said holding Vanessa's face in his hands. "I'm in those childhood pictures and I'm the prom date standing next to you in your prom picture. I'm in your college pictures and I'm the one who's always been around you. I am that one thing that will ruin us and ruin you. Randy finds this out, or anyone finds this out in general, and we're completely screwed beyond belief"

"No one knows that I am the person who bailed you out of jail when you got arrested for that DUI back in 2008. They know of the car and the incident. Hell, they even know your blood alcohol level from the breathalyzer test that you failed…" Vanessa half-joked making Ted smile. "But not one thing points to me or does anyone know that I was your one phone call, and I came out of my warm ass bed to drive and bail you out because I carry a thing called cash. I'm smarter than Steph and you're smarter than Paul in this situation. We'll be fine. Until the day that Shane becomes hurt…or even if he does, we won't worry about the bad, we'll focus on us and the good that we know will happen for us, as long as we stick by each other…"

"But what if I'm torn between being this… guy in Legacy and saving you?" Ted asked unsure of his own decision. Vanessa sighed and kissed Ted's cheek.

"Regardless of your decision, I'm sure we'll work through it all…" Vanessa whispered. "…I love and trust you Theodore…."

"I'm glad you do, because it would suck if I love and trust you and you didn't love me back…" Ted joked. Vanessa smiled and held on to Ted. "I love you more than you can imagine Vanessa…"

The day Vanessa and Ted feared was here. It was Monday night. Vickie Guerrero, acting General Manager made the match rules of if you wanted to fight in a tag match, you had to beat your opponent on the other team. Batista got disqualified and Shane won his match, leaving Shane to face all three members of Legacy on his own. The fight was grueling for Vanessa, watching her brother and her boyfriend battle.

Vanessa stood in gorilla position, just in case the worst case scenario happened. Dave and John stood close behind Vanessa, telling her Shane would be okay. He'd be able to hold his own against men like Legacy. Vanessa shook in fear as she watches Randy get a chair. Ted and Cody held down Shane and Vanessa closed her eyes. John pulled her close, holding her to make sure she didn't see the violence about to happen.

Randy has placed Shane's leg on the steel steps while Cody and Ted held him down. Ted on the outside seemed sinister and maniacal, as if he wanted to see this happen. However in the inside he was scared and worried that now would be the time Vanessa would reveal herself. Ted held Shane, but was trembling for the life of Vanessa. Internally he screamed no as Randy lifted the chair above his head and violently came crashing down on Shane's ankle. There was no denying that right now, Shane's ankle was definitely shattered. Ted writhed in pain for Shane, and felt Vanessa screaming for Shane as Shane's cries of pain clouded his mind. Another violent chair shot to the ankle and Cody and Ted let go of Shane, watching him suffer. The three men climbed into the ring and Randy grabbed a microphone.

"Now you see who I am…" Randy replied into the microphone. Ted and Cody stood behind their merciless leader, seemingly proud, while listening to Shane cry out in pain. The crowd booed the trio louder than ever before. Randy's eyes scanned the crowd, watching each fan give him the finger and listening to each piece of obscenity that flew from fans mouths. "I show no mercy to those who swear they can take me out. I show no mercy to those who think they can put me away and defeat me. I am the WWE Champion and there is nothing and no one who can stop me. Why you may ask… well here's your answer. Because I have eliminated the McMahon family-"

'No Chance', Vince McMahon's theme song played through the arena, causing all three men in the ring to look up at the titantron. As his music played, he didn't come from behind the curtains. As Randy began to walk slowly forward the music changed to Shane's music 'Here Comes the Money'. The three men began looking around the ring, making sure it wasn't an ambush or some ploy to catch them off guard, where they would be attacked. Randy's head snapped up as Stephanie's music 'All Grown Up' played. Had he lost his mind? The crowd was screaming wildly, louder than he had ever heard before. Legacy had now branched out all over the ring, scanning each way that anyone can come and beat them down.

'Are you ready…?'

Is all the crowd had to hear before cheering as loud as ever. The bas of the music played and Randy sneered. Ted began looking around and standing on top of the turnbuckle, calling out whatever force was messing with them. Just as Randy had dropped the microphone, preparing for battle the strums and beats of bass blared from the speakers as Hunter's theme 'Time to Play the Game' played. Legacy turned their attention to the ramp, watching for Hunter to come down the ramp. The three men stood ready for anything, just as Batista's 'Animal Unleashed' played.

"Stop with the damn mind games and just show yourself…" Randy yelled into the microphone he dropped. Batista's music ended, leaving a silence within the arena. Only thing to be heard was the cheers of the fans. The three Legacy men watched on in anger, ready to fight.

'1, 2…is this on?'

'My Time' played through the arena. The song was Triple H's old theme music, and Randy stood upright watching for any figure to approach. It was then a small female frame approached wearing a business kind of suit and a smirk on her face and microphone in hand. Randy smiled and chuckled into the microphone as the music slowly started to fade.

"The mystery girl of the WWE comes out to old Hunter music. Funny, being that Hunter protects you…" Randy replied. Vanessa smirked and chuckled back into the microphone "I'm not done speaking-"

"Oh like hell you are… Randy Orton…" Vanessa replied into the microphone. The crowd cheered and Vanessa looked around the arena. Vanessa's eyes connected with Ted who was standing behind Randy. She could always read him better than anyone. He was scared, he was worried… he didn't know what to do. Keeping within her McMahon demeanor, she smirked and held the captivation of the crowd. "You see, the thing you don't realize about Hunter is that he's very protective. It's part of his nature sometimes you know. When I spoke to him about using his old music, he laughed because of the symbolism of the music…"

"Can you just get to a point?" Ted yelled into the microphone that he took from Randy. Randy and Cody nodded in compliance with their partner Ted.

"You will learn to be patient DiBiase, didn't you ever learn patience is the key?" Vanessa replied sweetly, with a hint of venom. She smiled her evil McMahon smile and continued with her story. "You see faithful WWE fans know the history of this music. However since it seems you three nimrods seem to share a brain so I'll break it down for you. You see the first music you heard was the song of the Chairman, Vince McMahon. After that you heard the music of the man you possibly have shattered his ankle, Vince's son Shane McMahon. I'm sure you recognized the song after, the music of what the fans know as the princess of the WWE, Stephanie McMahon. You also heard the music of D-Generation X as well as the music belonging to someone you've been hoping to not to hear and see for a while, The Game Triple H. You also heard the music of Batista, Hunter's long time friend-"

"Long story short… slut…" Cody lisped while the crowd booed. Vanessa chuckled and sighed.

"Be careful now Rhodes, that lisp can cause for you to electrocute yourself with the microphone one day…" Vanessa replied making the crowd cheer. "You see back in 1999 to roughly sometime after 2001, there was a power couple to be reckoned with. They were the team of Triple H, known then as Hunter Hearst Helmsley and his wife who defied everyone, including her father, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. She was something no one, but Hunter wanted to claim. Slowly after her father and her brother joined her side, which brings me back to the question of why this song? Why the long timeline of McMahon music? It was a time that Triple H and Stephanie were strong, powerful, defiant… and not the ones to cross. I guess you can say the same for me. I'm stronger than you think, I'm seriously powerful… and defiant of what people want from me and I'm not the one to cross, especially since it's now… my time…"

"What are you saying?" Randy asked holding on to his prized possession, the WWE title. Vanessa chuckled and evil chuckle and smirked.

"I'm saying, the reason for all the McMahon entrance music, is because you failed in your mission Randy. I'm saying, sorry Orton but the McMahon's aren't exterminated. I'm saying Stephanie isn't the princess of the WWE, because there is a different princess. Say hello to Monday Night Raw's NEW General Manager. For those who don't know me, I will let you know I come from a Legacy myself…" she stated, making Randy perk up, intrigued possibly.

"Really? Is that so? Then maybe you belong here with this Legacy… not following the shadow of somewhere you don't belong…" Randy offered. Vanessa smiled and spoke.

"I'm sure you all know my father… my mother… my brother and my sister as well as my highly public brother-in-law. If you don't get it, the chairman of WWE, is my father. The CEO, is my mother, the Vice President is my brother and the Executive Vice President and General Manager before me is my sister. The former WWE Champion is my brother in law. In short Orton… my Legacy and my name is Vanessa McMahon…" Vanessa replied. The three men stood upright as 'My Time' played through the arena once more while Vanessa held her hands up as the self-proclaimed victor. The crowd went wild and Randy's face dropped along with his fellow Legacy members. Randy's eyes narrowed as only one thought went through his mind…

This McMahon…is going down like the rest…
