Chapter 10
Survivor Series
The gang was in the limo as it when down the streets of Dallas, Texas. The city in which Survivor Series was taking place that night. They all sat in silence, each consumed by their own thoughts. Buffy and Faith were thinking about their match against each other tonight. They had both agreed that it was just a match and they wouldn't let it get in the way of their friendship. Both however worried, because they both wanted to win, a lot. They didn't know how much that need to win might come into play. Stephanie had two different things that occupied her mind. First being her brother, Shane, who was in a match with Kane. The match was an ambulance match, it which you have to beat your opponent so badly that he has to be taken away in an ambulance. Her second thing that occupied her was the man sitting next to her, Xander. Her feelings for him were growing beyond friendship. They had almost kissed on the last Smackdown, before Chavo interrupted them. She had tried to talk to him a few times after, but Xander had avoided the subject. Xander had the same thing occupying his mind. His feelings for Steph were growing as well and he didn't know how to handle it.
As they arrived at the arena, the cameras were there to film it. The limo came to a stop in the parking lot, and the gang got out. Steph first, followed by Xander, then Buffy and Faith. As they walked to the door of the arena, they were greeted by the Undertaker. Steph took a moment to look at the scene in front of her.
"You know" Steph said "This isn't the first time we're been all together like this. Maybe.we should start a faction"
"A faction?" Buffy asked
"It's a group in wrestling with a common goal" Faith answered "Like DX or the NWO"
"Oh, what would be called?" Buffy seemed a bit interested
"I don't know, yet" Steph said then turn to Taker "what about you Taker, I know you're a bit of a loner, but would considering joining"
Undertaker thought for a moment "I don't know.right now I would just like to concentrate on my match against Rhino and think about that later"
"Okay, we'll table this issue right now and consider it later" Steph said and the group headed into the building.
On the way in, they ran into Triple H and Evolution. All the members of Evolution had women hanging from each arms.
"Well, well, well" Triple H said smugly "What do we have here; Stephanie, Stephanie's one eyed bitch, and the rest of the loser gang"
"You should talk, Hunter. Considering you have to pay women these days to hang all over you. How much did these girls cost?" Stephanie shot back
"Hey, they didn't cost anything. Their here because they would to be with Evolution." Triple H had a smug look
"Oh come on, the locker rooms of both shows knows that their hired escorts and I don't see them denying it.I wonder if daddy knows you charge them to the company bill"
After hearing that, Triple H got an angry look, he unhook his arms from the girls and took a step forward. The rest of Evolution followed.
Stephanie raised a hand to stop him, and then got right into his face and with a confident voice said "You know, Hunter, if your group wants to rumble; we're all for it. But do you really think that you and the has been, the wanna be, and Mr. Ego manic have a chance against us."
She then took a step back "If you do, then go ahead"
Triple H saw Buffy and Faith position themselves on each side on Steph. Buffy on the right and Faith on the left. He looked further left and saw Xander clinching his fists. Further too the right was Undertaker with his arms folded and showing no emotion what so ever. Triple knew that was a bad thing from past experience.
"You know what" Triple H said "We don't need this" and with that Triple H and Evolution left.
The gang continued to walk through the hallway. Faith and Xander, being the big Undertaker fans, couldn't help but notice they just had a stand off with him on their side.
Shortly into the show, when Team Angle was taken on Team Lesnar, Faith sat in her and Buffy's Locker room. She was already in her black leather wrestling outfit. Faith was worried about her match, which was up next. One reason had to do with the fact that this match was going to test her, already fragile, friendship with Buffy. The other being that her chances of winning were not good. Buffy was more discipline then her and had more expenses than her. Faith, herself, was more of a brawler and Buffy knew that. So she knew what to expect from Faith. Faith didn't, however, know what to expect from Buffy, because she had a habit of changing her style of fighting and adapting to her opponent. This is why Buffy was able to beat her that time in her apartment, when they were enemies. This was going to be a long night for her that she knew for sure.
As the first match ended, Stephanie and Xander made their way to Shane's locker room. There they founded him shadow boxing near his locker, getting ready for his match.
"Shane" Steph said his name and hugged him
"Hey Steph" Shane hugged her back "Xander" he said as he parted with her
"Shane" Xander nodded at Shane, they weren't the best of friends, but Xander and Shane had a certain respect for each other.
"Shane, please reconsider this match" Steph said with concern "Kane is dangerous, there no tell what he'll do"
"I have to do it Steph, to pay him back for what he did to mom"
"But you could get seriously hurt"
"I can handle it myself and its Kane that's going to be seriously hurt" Shane said with a determination
Steph could see she wasn't going to convince him other wise "Alright Shane, but don't do anything stupid okay" Steph hugged her brother again
As Xander watch them hug, he took a quick look at his watch and realized he was going to be late. "Sorry guys, I have to go meet Buffy and Faith before their match"
"Wish them luck for me" Steph said as she parted with her brother
"I will" Xander started for the door when he turned around "And Shane, attack Kane's legs, big guy like that puts a lot of weight on them and if he can stand on one, he can't hardly stand at all"
"I will" Shane responded back and Xander ran out the room
Xander exited the room in a hurry and bumped right into Stone Cold Steve Austin
"Sorry" Xander said but only got a Stone Cold stare from him "okay" Xander respond and tried to step around him but Austin just step to that side and block his path. Xander stared at him for a moment than tried the other side but Austin step to that side as well. Xander though he was about to get hit when Austin stared to laugh and Xander decided to laugh with him; although he didn't know why he was laughing. Then Austin stopped and Xander stopped as well.
After giving Xander his stare again, Austin spoke "Where the hells the fire son?"
"Sorry.I was.just going to wish my.my friends good luck.you know, their match is up next.did I say I was sorry, really sorry"
"So, you think that gives you the right to smack right into me?"
"No, no sir"
"You owe me a beer now" Austin said with a grin
"No problem" Part of Xander thought it would be cool to drink a cold one with Steve Austin and part of him was glad he wasn't going to get hurt.
"I saw what you did for Stephanie at No Mercy" Austin said and pointed at him "It took some serous guts to do what you to for her, I respect that"
"Thanks.Can I go now; my friend will be going to the ring soon"
Austin stepped aside and Xander hurried off. As he watched him go, Austin smiled to himself. He wasn't going to hurt the boy, as he gave the impression of. Austin just wanted to mess with his head a little, kind of his way of welcoming him to the WWE.
Xander ran up to the entrance to ringside area. He founded Buffy there and next to her was John Cena, who was going on about how he brought Team Angle to victory over Team Lesnar. He was going on and on. Buffy was just nodding and fake smiling along.
"Hey Buff" Xander said as he walked up
"Xander" She was overly glad to see him, anything to get away from Cena
"I just wanted to wish you good luck and again I'm sorry for not coming with you out there, but like I said"
"You feel its best not to take side between me and Faith" Buffy finished his sentence "don't worry I understand" She respected him in his choice.
Buffy's music started to play and she headed for the entrance
"Buffy" Cena called out "your gonna win cause Faith is wack and you got back"
"Thanks.I think" Buffy than when threw the entrance. She was glad to get way from Cena.
"You're not going to get any" Xander said to Cena
"Huh?" Cena answered back not hearing what he said
"Never mind" Xander then saw Faith approaching "Faith, good luck out there"
"Thanks, Xander" She said as she walked to the entrance waiting her turn to go out
Xander notices the worried look on her "Nerves about the match?"
"A little"
"Don't worry, you'll do fine"
Faith gave him a small smile
"Hey Faith" Cena butted in "your gonna win cause Buffy is wack and you got back"
Faith was about to tell off when her music started and she decided just to head on out.
Cena was about to leave when he turned to the side and saw Xander staring at him "What?" he said as he walked off.
As Xander watch Cena leave, he just shook his head. He was about to go find Stephanie when he saw Vince walking to the ringside entrance (What is he up to?) Xander thought.
Buffy waited on the other side as Faith got into the ring.
"You're ready?" Faith asked, trying to hide how worried she was, and Buffy just nodded back.
The bell rung and the two were about to go at it when Vince's music started to play. Buffy and Faith watched as he strolled down the ramp, walked around the ring, and took a seat near the announcer table.
"Don't worry about him" Faith said and the two began the match. Faith got the first few hits but Buffy quickly countered and turned the tables on her. As the match when on it was more like a martial arts fight with only a few wrestling moves. Faith was taking most of the hits. She took over the match for a little bit only to have Buffy take it back. At one point Faith threw a punch at Buffy, but Buffy countered by ducking then moving behind Faith. Buffy than wrapped her arms under Faith shoulders and pick her up and slapped her on her back. The audience was on their feet through most of the match as blows echo threw the arena. Vince knew that this match was going to be one of the greats. Near the end, Buffy landed a spin kick to Faith. Faith spins around in the air and landed on the matt. Her head was swimming with pain. Buffy quickly went for the pin. The referee went down for the three count but before he could count three, Buffy felt someone grab her leg and pull her off Faith.
Buffy rolled on her back to see Vince near the ring. She got to her feet and went to the ropes "What the hell are you doing?" Buffy yelled at him but Vince just acted like he didn't do anything.
Faith slowly got to her feet, her head still in a lot of pain. So much her vision wasn't completely clear. All she could make out was that Buffy was at the ropes with her back turned to her. She didn't know what Buffy was doing; just this was her chance to win. Faith position herself behind Buffy waiting for her to turn. Buffy turned around and Faith landed a super kick on her. Buffy went down, but so did Faith, who was still hurting. Faith grabbed whatever strength she left and crawled over to Buffy and put her arm over her chest. The referee down to the ground and began the count
Buffy's head was filled with cobwebs as she tried to shake them out. She than heard someone slamming their hand on the ground. She knew what in was and quickly kick out of the pin, but it was too late. The bell rang and Faith's music started to play as Faith slowly got up. Buffy sat up and looked at Faith as she was handed the belt for the Smackdown Woman's Championship. Faith hugged the belt as if it was a long lost friend. Buffy than looked at Vince who was outside the ring with a big smile on his face. Buffy felt a pain in her chest and knew she had to get out of here. She rolled out the ring and started up the ramp.
Faith was holding the belt up in the air as she faced the crowed, some of them cheered her and some booed. Faith turned around and had expected to get a congratulations from Buffy went she noticed Buffy wasn't in the ring. Faith looked to the side and saw her heading up the ramp and into the backstage area.
(What a sore loser) Faith thought before the replay of the last moments in the match came on the big screen. Faith felt her heart drop as she saw Vince interfere right went Buffy was about to win. She than felt someone raise her arm in victory and saw it was Vince. Faith tore her arm away from him. She dropped her belt and ran after Buffy. Faith could only hope she could to catch up with her.
Buffy walked quickly through the backstage area when she saw Kurt. "Kurt" She called "Kurt, are you leaving?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Do you mind giving me a ride to my Hotel?"
Kurt could see the pain in her face "Yeah, no problem"
Faith had looked hard for Buffy, but in the end, she founded out that Buffy had left with Kurt. Faith than stormed into Stephanie's office and found her sitting in her chair with Xander next to her.
"We have to leave and go after B" Faith demanded
"Not know, my brother's match is up next" Steph answered
"Screw your brother's match!!!"
Steph than stood up and got an angry look that even made Faith a bit scare. "Now look Faith" Steph said with a stern voice "I'm sorry my father messed up your match. I'm sorry Buffy took in hard and if you want to blame me, I'm sorry for the match" Steph than started to yell "But my brother is in a match were he might get the living shit beaten out of him and I'm not leaving until it is over and I know how he is. Do you understand ME!!!"
Steph took a deep breath and lower her voice "If you want to call a cab, I'll pay for it" she than sat back down.
"Faith" Xander walked up to her "Maybe, you should give Buffy some space, just for tonight"
Faith signed and took his advice.
Kurt drove his car down the dark streets. He looked over at Buffy. She laid her head on the window looking out into the night. "You know, she probably didn't know what Vince did"
"Just drive, please" Buffy said, not wanting to talk, but she knew he was right. So why did it feel like she was betrayed. Was it because part of her believes Faith did betray her or maybe because she got so caught up in the match and really wanted that belt. However it didn't matter right now, she just wanted to get back to the Hotel and get some rest. She hoped she would feel better tomorrow.
Steph, Xander and Faith were still in Steph's office. They were watching Shane's match with Kane. Shane had just failed in his attempt to trick Kane backstage, ramp Kane with a car and load him in another ambulance. Now Kane was beating on Shane and bring him back to the ambulance at ringside. Xander looked over at Steph and saw she was scarred for her bother. So he decided to do something about it.
Faith wasn't paying much attention to the match. Her thought were on Buffy. She looked up and noticed someone was missing. "Where's Xander?" Stephanie than notice he wasn't here.
Xander searched the backstage area where Shane's failed plan took place. He found what he was looking for, the kendo stick Shane had used on Kane. Xander than headed for ringside. As he got out there, he saw Kane throw Shane on the windshield of the ambulance.
Xander quickly ran behind Kane and hit him in the leg with the kendo stick and Kane drop to one knee. "I told" Xander hit him again "Shane to" again on the leg "attack the legs" Xander went for another hit but Kane quickly grab him by the throat. Kane stare Xander in the face before choke slamming him to the ground. Kane than turned his attention back to Shane.
Everything was a blur for Xander as he laid there. He noticed someone kneel next to him and he recognized her by the smell of her lovely scent.
"That was very nice and brave of you, Xander" Stephanie said
"Or stupid" Xander vision was coming around
"Thanks anyways"
Just then the bell rang and before Xander could ask who won, the music of Kane answered his question.
"Sorry, it didn't work" Xander was still on the ground
"It's alright, at least .Oh shit" Steph eyes widen with fear as Kane started to walk towards them.
"What is it?" Xander asked but saw what as he sat up. Xander was in no condition to run so he took a fighting stance in front of Stephanie. He stood unsteadily on his feet.
Out of nowhere, Faith ran and jump kick Kane straight in the face, sending Kane to the ground. Faith turned to Xander and Steph, but when the crowd when into an uproar, she turned back to see Kane getting up. Faith than kick him in the mid section, causing him to bend over, than followed it up by punch him in the face. Kane fell to the ground again only to get back up. (Impossible) Faith thought. Faith took a fighting stance, ready to attack again, but Kane just gave her an evil smile than left toward the backstage.
Faith signed with relief and walk over towards the other. "I guess we're heading over to the hospital with Shane"
"You don't have to come" Steph said while helping Xander stay on his feet.
"No, its okay, Xander right, I need to just leave Buffy alone tonight and hopefully deal with it tomorrow"
The three of them headed to get their bags. Faith was also getting Buffy's bags. They than got into the Limo and headed towards the hospital in which Shane was being taken to.
Kane slowly limped down the hallway toward his locker room. He was going to interfere and cost his brother, Undertaker, his match, but thanks to the damage Xander and Faith had cost him, he was in no condition to do so. He would have to pay them back someday.
TBC
Ending notes: Sorry about the poor rap I did with Cena. You see I can't rap and that was the best I could come up with.
Survivor Series
The gang was in the limo as it when down the streets of Dallas, Texas. The city in which Survivor Series was taking place that night. They all sat in silence, each consumed by their own thoughts.

"It's a group in wrestling with a common goal" Faith answered "Like DX or the NWO"
"Oh, what would be called?" Buffy seemed a bit interested
"I don't know, yet" Steph said then turn to Taker "what about you Taker, I know you're a bit of a loner, but would considering joining"
Undertaker thought for a moment "I don't know.right now I would just like to concentrate on my match against Rhino and think about that later"
"Okay, we'll table this issue right now and consider it later" Steph said and the group headed into the building.

She then took a step back "If you do, then go ahead"
Triple H saw Buffy and Faith position themselves on each side on Steph. Buffy on the right and Faith on the left. He looked further left and saw Xander clinching his fists. Further too the right was Undertaker with his arms folded and showing no emotion what so ever. Triple knew that was a bad thing from past experience.

Xander searched the backstage area where Shane's failed plan took place. He found what he was looking for, the kendo stick Shane had used on Kane. Xander than headed for ringside. As he got out there, he saw Kane throw Shane on the windshield of the ambulance.
Xander quickly ran behind Kane and hit him in the leg with the kendo stick and Kane drop to one knee. "I told" Xander hit him again "Shane to" again on the leg "attack the legs" Xander went for another hit but Kane quickly grab him by the throat. Kane stare Xander in the face before choke slamming him to the ground. Kane than turned his attention back to Shane.
Everything was a blur for Xander as he laid there. He noticed someone kneel next to him and he recognized her by the smell of her lovely scent.
"That was very nice and brave of you, Xander" Stephanie said
"Or stupid" Xander vision was coming around
"Thanks anyways"
Just then the bell rang and before Xander could ask who won, the music of Kane answered his question.
"Sorry, it didn't work" Xander was still on the ground
"It's alright, at least .Oh shit" Steph eyes widen with fear as Kane started to walk towards them.
"What is it?" Xander asked but saw what as he sat up. Xander was in no condition to run so he took a fighting stance in front of Stephanie. He stood unsteadily on his feet.
Out of nowhere, Faith ran and jump kick Kane straight in the face, sending Kane to the ground. Faith turned to Xander and Steph, but when the crowd when into an uproar, she turned back to see Kane getting up. Faith than kick him in the mid section, causing him to bend over, than followed it up by punch him in the face. Kane fell to the ground again only to get back up. (Impossible) Faith thought. Faith took a fighting stance, ready to attack again, but Kane just gave her an evil smile than left toward the backstage.
Faith signed with relief and walk over towards the other. "I guess we're heading over to the hospital with Shane"
"You don't have to come" Steph said while helping Xander stay on his feet.
"No, its okay, Xander right, I need to just leave Buffy alone tonight and hopefully deal with it tomorrow"
The three of them headed to get their bags. Faith was also getting Buffy's bags. They than got into the Limo and headed towards the hospital in which Shane was being taken to.
Kane slowly limped down the hallway toward his locker room. He was going to interfere and cost his brother, Undertaker, his match, but thanks to the damage Xander and Faith had cost him, he was in no condition to do so. He would have to pay them back someday.

Ending notes: Sorry about the poor rap I did with Cena. You see I can't rap and that was the best I could come up with.
