One, Two…..Is this on?

Triple H's theme sounded through the arena and Chyna and Triple H were walking down the ramp with a purpose. Tony Chimel did his introduction of her as she entered the ring. Triple H didn't enter, but circled the corner instead. Then, the whole arena turned red in arrival of The New Brood. Gangrel led the group out, but Lita ran straight for the ring. She really wanted to make a good impression on her new associates. Taking down the top female of The Ministry would definitely send a message.

The arena suddenly turned dark and The Ministry theme played through the speakers. Ashley and Annabelle came down first with Mideon, Viscera, Edge, and Christian not far behind. Annabelle looked like an innocent puppy walking to the ring and Ashley had nothing but purpose in her eyes. This wasn't Ashley's first match, though it was rare she wrestled. She faced Chyna a few times and had won them all, but almost always was on the receiving end of a post-match assault. Ashley's issue with Chyna was personal, but with Lita it was just business. The lights came up in the arena and each side was making final preparations.

"You're gonna start, okay?" Ashley said to Annabelle.

"Why? I have no experience, you should start," Annabelle said.

Ashley sighed, "That's exactly why you start. Chyna isn't starting, so there's no reason for me to go in there first."

"What if I get beaten so badly that I won't be able to make it to you?"

"I don't play fair. In case that happens, I'll find a way for you to get to me. Just stay in there as long as you can and tag me when you feel need," Ashley said as she went outside the ring and stood in their corner.

The bell rang and the match begun. Lita actually challenged Annabelle to a test of strength, which was actually a way for them to discuss the plan more.

"Why are you starting?" Lita asked as she gained a slight advantage.

"There was no way to convince Ashley otherwise. She made it clear that I should start the match," Annabelle responded.

"Well, fine. Give me a soft kick to the gut and throw me into the turnbuckle on your corner. Tag in Ashley afterwards."

Annabelle did as Lita told her and tagged Ashley in. Jeff Hardy distracted the referee long enough for her to poke Ashley in the eye. The referee's attention was refocused on the match in enough time to see Lita tag in Chyna. Chyna immediately charged at Ashley and clotheslined her. She continued to lay in punches until the referee stopped her.


'Taker was in the back with The Acolytes, Chanel, Kane, and Paul Bearer just watching this whole display.

"Ashley, now!" 'Taker screamed, wanting his sister to activate the plan.

"Okay, I'll try," Ashley said weakly.

"Are you okay? You don't sound like yourself," 'Taker was starting to worry.

"Quit worrying about me! I'm okay," Ashley snapped.

"You never cease to amaze me. My little sister, tough even when she's weak. Now possess Annabelle's brain so she could help you out," 'Taker commanded.

"No problem."

'Taker watched as Ashley lifted her head trying to get control of Annabelle's brain. The camera angling was perfect and nobody knew what was going on. 'Taker started to worry when he saw his wife's eyes were still red. They had not changed to purple like normal when Ashley used her mind control ability. He knew then something was wrong. The camera went back to an ailing Ashley as she collapsed in the ring from what everyone thought was exhaustion. 'Taker knew it was more than that. Someone had somehow weakened his sister's magic to the point of near uselessness.

"What's wrong with the Princess?" Bradshaw asked.

'Taker turned his attention to Paul and stalked over to him, "Answer Bradshaw's question Paul. What's wrong with my sister?


Annabelle couldn't believe what she was seeing. Ashley was passed out in the middle of the ring and she wasn't moving at all. The arena was stunned and wanted to know what happened. it was then that Annabelle realized that she couldn't go along with McMahon's plan anymore. The plan was to get 'Taker to fall in love with her and then betray him. The opposite had happened, she fell in love with him and couldn't bear watch his sister hurt. When Chyna went for the pin, Annabelle threw Chyna off of Ashley, and was prepared to feel the wrath of the Amazon.

"Do you need a reminder of whose side you're on?" Chyna said threateningly.

"No, I don't actually," Annabelle said and then slapped Chyna hard in the face. She fell backward and due to Ashley's state, Annabelle was automatically the legal person. Chyna tried to clothesline Annabelle, but she ducked and then speared Chyna to the ground.

"Woohoo! Go Annabelle!" Edge and Christian were cheering the loudest after seeing that.

Lita hopped on the top turnbuckle attempting to get in a cheap shot, but Annabelle sidestepped the attempt and gave Lita a spear for her troubles. The members of the Corporation at ringside watched in shock and horror. Members of The Ministry at ringside used the opportunity to attack them and remove them from the ringside equation. Annabelle walked over to the knocked out Chyna and pinned her one, two, three. The whole arena erupted in cheers, but Annabelle quickly went to Ashley, who was in the arms of Viscera, still unconscious. The Corporation music played and a very angry Vince McMahon was up the ramp, but the rest of The Corporation was not. Vince looked around to see where they were and couldn't find them. Out of nowhere came a beaten and bloodied Shane McMahon, followed by the Big Boss Man, Ken Shamrock, and The Rock. Vince looked in horror as his whole faction was a beaten, bloody mess. The whole arena went black and the crowd went wild.

"Never doubt the power of the Deadman," 'Taker said through the speakers. When the arena lights came back on, there was no Ministry, but the lifeless corpses of The Corporation were left in the ring.


Annabelle and 'Taker walked into their hotel room and set their stuff down. 'Taker sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Annabelle into his lap.

"We need to talk."
