Chapter Twelve:
The match starts off with Matt and Jeff on either side of Edge. Edge looks around not phrased by their actions. He goes to attack Matt first, but Jeff joins in from behind to attack Edge. They start double team him as he tries to fight off the best he can. They take turns letting the other one rest while one continues to attack Edge. It is mostly one-sided for there on in. When they see him completely down, Jeff walks to the door where the referee opens the door. Matt stays guard in case Edge gets up to prevent Jeff from leaving. Lita, just doing her job, grabs a chair as he waits for Jeff to come out. Every step he takes Lita copies him ready to hit him with the chair.
"What are you doing Lita?" Matt screams out to her. She ignores him know it is a distraction to get her away from Jeff.
During this, they don't know that it gives Edge more time to rest. He finally gets up and roll pins Matt; he only gets a 2-count. Matt and Edge both square off as Jeff watches. Edge does get the upper hand for a bit, but the number game catches up to him when Jeff joins in. The Hardyz do their tag team moves with them ending the sequence with Poetry in Motion. Edge is now out cold as Matt this time climbs the cage. Lita is right there to stop him. He signals Jeff to climb up on the other side. Once again, Lita moves to where Jeff is, which gives Matt some time to get over the cage, however, the mystery guy comes to prevent him from hitting the floor. He has a chair ready to hit Matt. They are both stuck in a situation; do they try to win the match or prevent themselves from getting hit? They mystery guy winks at Lita as they both watch The Hardyz movements.
They both head back inside the ring to come out with a plan. They switch places with Matt trying to exit through the door. The referee opens it with once again Lita is there to prevent it from happening. On the other side, Jeff talks to the mystery guy. They wait until Matt looks at them to start climbing. Lita notices this, but it doesn't consider herself with it. She knows that they are friends.
In the middle of the ring, Edge starts to stir up once again. Matt notices this to give a Twist-of-Fate along with Jeff, who is on top of the cage once again, to perform a Swanton Bomb. Jeff holds his stomach in pain as his brother checks up on him. This gives Lita a chance to give the chair to Edge. She lays the chair next to him without them noticing, Now, she has to exit the same way. She doubles check to see that they are still occupied before exiting. As she is crawling back out, almost out, she bumps into a leg. The leg belongs to Matt who is standing in front of her. He smirks before he pulls her up from her hair. Jeff gets up still holding his stomach to climb out of the cage once more. As he is at the top, for a third time, he sees Matt tell the referee to lock the door.
Matt takes her and the chair that is still next to Edge, to hit him a few times for added insurance. Lita tries to squirm out away however can't release his hold. Like other times, Lita kicks him in the jewels. Although it is effective for him to squirm in pain, it is not enough to let her go. He is now furious as he puts the chair below them. He kicks Lita in the stomach to set her up for another Twist-of-Fate. Before Matt performs the action Jeff does the Whisper of the Wind his brother. This shocks everyone including Lita herself as he manages to get away. This knocks both the Hardy Boyz out to have Lita pull Edge's arm around Matt.
"One." The crowd counts with the referee. "Two." The crowd continues. "Three." The crowd continues as the referee rings the bell. They all cheer being fed up with Matt's actions in the past few weeks.
The cage is raised up as Lita helps Edge to the back. The mystery guy leaves the way he entered which only leaves the two brothers in the ring. They both use the ropes to get up.
"You!" Matt points to Jeff. "You lost use the match. Why did you do that?" He holds his stomach and head.
"I told you I don't let any woman get hurt. If I have a chance to defend a woman I will." He argues back leaning on the ropes.
"Do you know the consequence of us losing?" Jeff nods. "And you want me to be fired?" Jeff doesn't answer.
Instead, Stephanie's entrance music hits. She comes out to head to the ring. "Impressive offensive you two did. I thought you two would certainly win but sadly you didn't. So as promised, Matt you are fired." Her tone and voice is similar to her father's.
He looks over to Jeff, who just stands there. He is appalled that his own brother doesn't even try to save his job. He just walks to the back as the crowd sing the 'goodbye' song.
"Now for you Jeff-" She puts her attention to him. "You will still be in the feud with Edge and Lita. Have fun with that." She announces before heading to the back also. Jeff takes a few moments on what just happened before following so.
Lita and Edge see Matt pack his bag. Edge wanted to wait in the Men's Locker Room to put more alcohol to the wound.
"Have a nice flight home to North Carolina." Edge teases.
"Shut up Edge, you didn't win. Jeff made a mistake, so you didn't beat us." He informs making an excuse for Jeff's actions.
"Yah, that must sting to have your own brother get you fired. I mean I guess he wanted you fired. Is there something wrong in the Hardy Boyz group?" He smirks and then evilly chuckles.
"No, there was just a mistake." He tells them trying to convince himself more than Edge.
"Yah right, well we will see you. Oh right we won't. Bye Matt." They both laugh as they exit.
He can't stand them as he shoves the rest of his stuff in his bag. He doesn't want to be here for another second.
"Hello Matt." Jeff enters cautiously.
"What do you want Jeff?" He says sinisterly.
"I just want to say I'm sorry. I just couldn't let you hurt her." He tries to explain his actions.
"Is that all?" He scuffs zippering his bag. If this is all he wants then he shouldn't become around at all.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Jeff requests.
"You can go to Stephanie to get my job back." He instructs like Jeff can persuade Stephanie to do what he wants.
"I can't do that. I don't have that much authority."
"Oh really, so you have authority to return, but none to save your brother. Pfft, what kind of brother are you?" He has lost all his trust for his younger brother.
"Vince didn't have to give me permission to return. He thought it would get more ratings that is all. The Hardy Boyz together is best for business."
"And me fired is best for business." Jeff shrugs. "Wow, you would turn on your own brother like that." He is officially shock and disgust with Jeff. They are supposed to have each other's back.
"Matt I-"
"Save it. Have fun battling Edge and Lita on your own, you won't have me to save you. When you go through what I had to, I won't be coming to your rescue." He puts his bag on his shoulder. "I will watch you get what you deserve with a smile on my face." He shoulder blocks Jeff as he exits the locker room. Jeff is shocked that his own brother would say that to him.
As Jeff heads to the trainers for check up, Lita calls out his name.
"Jeff!" Lita runs towards him.
"Right now is not a good time, Lita." He puts a hand down his face.
"I know. I just want to thank you for saving me." She smiles as an appreciation. "You have given time with my mystery man and save me from a steel chair face palm. I just want to say thank you." She appreciates sincerely. "When I said I picked the wrong Hardy, I mean some of it. Jeff, you are always the nicer one." She pecks his cheek. "Thank you again." She walks back to Edge's locker room.
Jeff feels his cheek as he smiles. Matt, looking at Jeff's front, sees the whole interaction. Edge sees it as well, but from behind. They are in hiding furious at Lita and Jeff's friendship. Matt now thinks that he did his actions on purpose to save his friend. While Edge thinks that Jeff could be the one that Lita is cheating with. He will make sure Jeff is just like his brother; fired.
