So here it is, I am pleased that TNA hired back some old faces and that The Hitman made his return, so with that said enjoy!!!
Chapter 11: Steel and blood
MONDAY NIGHT
I was a hundred percent from Extreme Rules as was Orton and tonight we would step into the ring and locked inside a steel cage and ready to unleash hell on one another.
I was just warming up with Aeon watching me, I was focused on tonight but what she told me about what happened to her years ago was just stuck in my brain, I knew now why she was hesitant to go to the next level with me.
"Xander…do you really think you can pull a win off here tonight?" Aeon asked.
"Well it is me and this is Orton so it's fifty fifty for me, but I'll get to kick his ass nevertheless." I said.
"But what if those Legacy clowns get involved?" Aeon pointed out.
"There's a fifteen foot high steel cage between them and us, I doubt they'll save him tonight from a beating." I said confidently.
"I hope you're right, just be careful they always got something up their sleeves." Aeon said as she came up to me.
I cupped her chin and kissed her as I needed some luck and some sugar.
LEGACY LOCKER ROOM
"Alright the plan is simple just follow it and we leave Cage battered, beaten and broken!!!" Orton stated.
"We got it Randy." Rhodes said.
DiBiase was distant and in thought as Orton did notice the young man in that state of mind.
Orton who hates ignorance from members of his group just went up to his face.
"Did you hear me Ted?! Are we all clear!!!???" Orton yelled at him.
He looked to his leader and straight into his eyes "Yeah Randy loud and clear." DiBiase said.
LATER ON
Bleed it out hit as I came out to an electric crowd in Richmond, I was wearing my Xancotik shirt as I took it off and threw it to the crowd as I looked to the steel cage that awaited me and my opponenet as I steeped up the steps and went inside the cage and awaited my opponents arrival.
I hear voices in my head, they council me, they understand they talk to me…
Voices hit and out came The Viper as he was just as focused as I was with the cold stare aimed at me and the steel structure that he and I will be locked into in just a matter of moments, as he steeped up the steps and was now in the cage and locked in with me.
The bell rang as we both just came into each others faces trash talking to one another as he hit a strike and I answered with a strike as shot after shot was being exchanged as then I got in the winning blows and followed up with an uppercut throwing him off balance as I then brought him up once again and hit a heel kick knocking him down.
I did not waste time as I stomped on his head a couple of times and turned him over as the back of his body was exposed I went off the ropes and nailed a knee drop to the back of his head. I was just taking my time with my disection of The Viper, I gabbed him by his head and brought him back to his feet as I just through his head into the steel cage as it bounced of with an echo.
I saw him groan in agony and holding his head as he was on the floor dazed as I just pushed his head into the steel using the ropes to add pressure as I was trying to punish him even more. I wated for him to get up as he used the corner turnbuckle to get himself up to a vertical base as I ran at him but he was playing possum as he just got out of the way and I went head first through the corner into the steel.
I came out of the corner now dazed myself as Orton now seing the opportunity just grabbed me and threw me into the steel head first again as I was now really spaced out from that shot, but the look in the eyes of Orton said it all as he one more time just rammed my head into the steel with a loud crash and had busted me open.
The top of my head was opened up as Orton like a shark was smelling blood in the water as he just attacked my bloodied head with right hands attemting to open the wound further. He then just stared at me fiercly as he just stomped on my exposed limbs as hard as he could and circled me each time doing so as he picked me apart piece by piece.
As I layed on the ground trying to get back up he just kicked me In the head and as I got up again he kicked me again. He was just toying with me a little as then he looked at me in that empty stare and came off the ropes and nailed a knee drop to my head and onto the open wound.
I was feeling the pain and blood pour out of my wound as I was helpless at this time and at the mercy of The Viper. He brought me up by my head and grabbed my neck and from behind nailed the inverted back breaker, I felt that move go up and down my spine as Orton was now in complete control as he was getting a little bit cocky and just took his time with my torture.
I however was using the ropes to get myself back up to my feet as Orton was just waiting for me to turn around as I got back to my feet I turned around as he went for a dropkick I saw it coming and ducked it and out of instinct I began to nail kicks and body shots to Orton as I finished it with an inverted DDT.
Even though this match was escape only I continued the assault as I got on top of him and just wailed lefts and rights as he tried to cover up but I got in more shots. I got tired of the wailing and got back up as I grabbed him by his legs and dragged him near the cage and just catapulted him head first into the steel as he fell hard and rolled out with his head covered in crimson.
I brought him up and nailed a suplex then a german and a belly to belly as the duration of the match was taking it's toll on us both. I was beaten and exhausted as was Orton but I wanted to finish him as I was setting up for the Xander Zone. I waited until he turned around but then on the outside the refs were being distracted by someone as I looked to see it was Rhodes.
I went to see what he was up to as then I was unaware of who managed to make their way inside the cage as the I turend around and was nailed with a steel chair into my ribs by DiBiase, as then Orton asked for the chair as DiBiase gave him it. I slowly got back up and in between both men as Orton rose the chair above his head and went for the killing blow but I got out of the way as he struck DiBiase square in the noggin.
He was knocked out from that shot as Orton was shocked but I saw my opening and took it as I kicked him in the mid section and took him up for the Xander Zone, I got him that quick and went to leave the cage as I took the easy way out and just walked out the door with ease and won the match thanks to Orton and a steel chair.
I left the ring bloodied but satisfied as I not only beat Orton but I just may have cracked the armour of Legacy as I saw them all arguing in the ring.
LATER ON
I was now getting my wounds stitched up by the trainer as Aeon was next to me.
"Five stitches? I thought you got more that that?!" Aeon said noting my wound now sewn up.
"So did I, but tonight has given me an idea." I said.
"What kind of idea?" Aeon asked.
"Let's just say me and Ted need a talk." I said.
"So do we." Aeon said as the trainer was done as I got up, put on a clean shirt and we left.
We walked throught the hallways as then we found a private spot towards the garage area as we held hands.
"I know you're still taking in what I said and I'm…
"NO!!! don't be, that asshole hurt you and I know he can't ever do again, I just want to be with you." I said pouring my heart out to her.
"Alexander I know you do and I love you and I want to go to the next level…right now." Aeon said.
"Now…Now?!" I asked.
As she then just deeply kissed me and I got the message loud and clear as we ran for a disclosed area and just go to that level, it was a night neither of us won't forget.
MONDAY NIGHT
Let's just say that tonight I had a match against The Big Show, a plan and I was now in the greatest mood of my life I mean…ooooooh yyyyeah!!!
I saw my target, Legacy's locker room as I saw the coast was clear and I made sure DiBiase was alone as I approached the door and knocked on it.
I went in as I saw DiBiase getting ready for a match as he saw me he got into defence as I approached with caution.
"Slow down, I'm not here to fight, I came to talk to you and you alone." I said trying to get him to calm down.
"How do I know this isn't a trick so you can attack me and get an advantage this Sunday?" DiBiase said.
"If it was, you'd already be in the hospital." I responded.
DiBiase still looked a bit unconvinced.
"Five minutes that's all." I asked.
"Three and it better be good." DiBiase said sitting down as I did.
"Okay so since you've arrived here in the WWE you've become a four time Tag Team Champion, become a member of a notorious group and Randy Orton's lackey." I said.
"I'm not his lackey!!! I'm learning and following his example on how to become a success in this company." DiBiase spat at me.
"Yeah keep saying that, I mean sure you've been in the spotlight along with Randy but where's that gotten you? Helping Randy escape with his title intact ,taking bullets for him each time, losing your tag titles or better yet like the time he struck you in the head with a chair last week." I said.
I could now see the look of realisation on the face of the 2nd generation superstar as I had to keep going.
"But now you are now in the big leagues, not a tag match but a six pack challenge for the WWE Championship, against four of the biggest stars in this company, you did that on your own." I said.
He kept on taking in what I said as I continued on.
"But still are you and Randy actually gonna work together to "Bring the WWE title to Legacy"? I mean that's good an all but question is who's gonna do it Randy or you?" I asked.
He had the ideas in his head now as I kept the clogs spinning.
"So let me ask you this, are you going to just lay down for him? Or are you going to The Bash this Sunday to become the new WWE Champion?" I asked the ultimate question to him.
I got up and was about to leave and turned back to him. "You're beter than this…think hard about where you're going." I said as I left him with that final thought.
LATER ON
Bleed it out hit as I made my way out still alive and kicking after my match last week inside a steel cage the tape on my head was the scar from it. I threw my shirt to the crowd as a fan got it and made my way into the ring and awaited the arrival of my opponent.
WWWWeeeeelll…it's The Big Show!!! Crank it up hit as the near five hundered pound giant came out and his path of destruction as of late was impressive he's taken anyone out in his path to become WWE Champion as he just came down the ramp and stepped over the ropes as he directed that large fist towards me.
The bell rang and our second encounter was underway as this time I used my speed to keep out of the clutches of the World's Largest Athlete. I hit a couple of quick kicks to his left leg and ran behid him as I hit a few more on his right as I continued to dodge him with ease.
He treid to grab me again but I quickly got out of the way again as he began to get a bit frustrated, as I was now taking this match in my pace as I came off the ropes and ducked under a clothesline attempt by the big man and came from behind with a dropkick to his left knee as he fell to it, I hit another dropkick to his right knee as he was on both knees and I just hit a heel kick levelling him as I went to cover him, 1- no he just powered out of it.
As I got up quickly to try and ground him again but he just came back as I took a full Spear from him!!! I rolled to the outside as I felt a tank just blasted me in the chest, he came out to the outside as he just picked me up like a kid and bashed me back first into the ring apron as more damage was received, as he just chucked me back in the ring and he stepped over the ropes.
I was on the floor cluthing my aching abdomen as then he just stepped on me like I was the ground itself, it felt like I was being run over by a truck. He was now in control as he brought down a huge elbow on me, 1-2-nope I kicked out as he picked me back up and hit me with a huge sidewalk slam, 1-2-no I kicked out at the last second.
Now getting irritated of me not giving up he took me into the corner as he then held me down with one massive hand as he motioned to the crowd "SSHHHHH" as a huge hand just imploded across my chest and it echoed throught the centre, the giant was now laughing at my pain as he became a bit cocky to the fact I was now no threat to him.
As I got up he was waiting for me and forced me back into another corner and began hitting those massive right hands into my injured abdomen as he was just trying to wear me down and followed up with a giant head but as I fell out of the corner. Big Show was ready to deal the finish ing blow as then he balled his fist up I staggered up as I tuned around and he went for it.
But I was ready for him as I ducked it at the last second and from behind I chop blocked the left knee and he was stopped as I hit another again and he was down on one knee, I had to keep on going as I hit the right knee and he was down, I began to nail knee drops to the head and even went up high and from the second rope I hit an Xtreme leg drop, 1-2-nope he got out.
I didn't waste any time as he was getting back up, as I immediately hit Rage in the Cage on the big man, but I knew it wasn't enough as I went up high and from the top I hit X Marks the Spot, but I was still a bit worn out from the beating I took of Show earlier on and was unable to get a cover on him.
But then someone came down the ramp and was on the outside of the ring I got back up and turned around to see it was Orton and I knew he wanted to screw me out of this match so he got onto the apron as I began to approach him he was trash talking me as we were face to face I then got out of the way as Show accidentally got Orton knocking him down to the floor.
As then I hit a backflip kick hitting him square in the head he staggered to the ropes and was met by an RKO off Orton as he staggered again towards me and down on his knees I grabbed his arm and locked in the Xancosis, I pulled as hard as I could on his massive arm and choking the oxygen out of his body as he then knew he had nowhere to go and just tapped out!!!
I just beat the Big Show and gained momentum into this Sunday but then Orton came in wanting a battle as we went at it, but were joined by the WWE Champion who also wanted a piece of The Viper, but then DiBiase hit the ring and he helped Orton as I went at it with Orton, Hunter got DiBiase but then Show was back up and angry as hell as he just grabbed Hunter by the throat and Chokeslammed him into the ground, as then he grabbed me and I got a Chokelsam, but Show was taken down by two thirds of Legacy as DiBiase and Orton double teamed him with strikes and then thowing him out of the ring.
But then as both men looked to one another and looked around the carnage left behind them DiBiase grabbed Orton from behind and nailed Dream Street on him??!!
The crowd was shocked at what he had just done to his mentor as he just stared at him then picked up the WWE title which was lying on the floor and looked at it then to his fallen leader as Raw went off the air.
Could this be what Xander was trying to do? Did it work? Will he become WWE Champion?
What you think? Reviews please!!!
