With the Royal Rumble lurking around the corner, what great lengths will Edge and Matt will go to tear Lita and Hunter apart forever?

Monday Night RAW
1/22/07
DX locker room
With the Royal Rumble just six days away, everyone was starting to feel the effects of it. Hunter, in particular, was starting to feel it. He was excited, nervous and anxious to win. Besides, he, along with 29 other men (including Matt and Edge), were in the Royal Rumble match. The winner will get a huge opportunity to compete for the WWE championship at Wrestlemania 23.
The Rated R superstar and the elder Hardy also were feeling the effects, but for different reasons. For one, they hoped their plans work this Sunday, and two, they want to throw the 'Game' off course. Everyone knows that Hunter can't function without Amy; so, by taking him out of the equation, they'll have a better chance of making her life a living hell.
They knew this was their last chance, too.
"I have complete faith in you, sweetheart. You're gonna win, I can feel it," Amy whispered in his ear as she rubbed his bare shoulders.
"I know you do, baby girl. But, even if I don't win, I'm already a winner because my biggest reward in life is being with you," he said with a smile. She started blushing.
"Well, Mr. Helmsley, with a comment like that, flattery does get you somewhere," she replied seductively.
"Really?" his eyes were wide open.
"Yes, really." she leaned over and kissed him passionately. He moaned and slipped his tongue into her mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body closer to his. He lifted her up in his arms and carried her over to the sofa, laying her down upon it gently. He moved on top of her, never breaking their heated kiss. They were lost in each other when the door opened.
"Guys, the show starts in an hour. That should've been taken care of already," Randy joked as he and Christa walked inside.
"Don't you know how to knock, fool?" Hunter asked in annoyance.
"What's the point of doing that, when we can just walk in and catch you in the act?" Christa giggled.
"Hunter, baby, why are we friends with those guys?" Amy asked, rolling her eyes playfully. He just shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
"We resent that, Red," Christa teased.
"Anyway, what are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be creating a fourth-generation superstar by now?" Hunter asked, laughing. He had his arms around the redhead's waist from behind.
"Very funny. Ames, Melina needs you. She's have pre-wedding jitters already!" Randy declared.
"How can she go through that already? She's not getting married until this summer," Amy complained.
"I don't know. You need to ask her," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
"I'll go with you, Ames. You're not scheduled to be on the show tonight, anyway," Christa said. Within seconds, she and Amy were gone.
"I hope she's not having second thoughts about marrying Nate. He's the man of her dreams, for crying out loud," Christa huffed as they made their way towards the women's locker room.
"Don't worry, girl, I'm sure she's having trouble finding the perfect wedding dress. Even planning a wedding can be stressful. Look what happened to Trish. It took her a long while before she finally got her act together," Amy replied.
"Well, if she's really having second thoughts on marrying that fine looking man, I'd drop Randy and marry that sexy chocolate brother in a heartbeat," Christa joked, giggling.
"Easy, girl," Amy warned playfully as they reached the door.
"I'm just kidding, Ames. I know Melina's crazy about him," Christa replied, smiling. However, her smile faded when she heard some commotion inside the locker room.
"Leave me alone, Johnny! Go away!"
"Why should I, you backstabbing whore?! I'm gonna fucking kill you, bitch!"
Within seconds, the door was kicked open. Inside, Melina was crouched down on the floor, sobbing hysterically as she curled herself into a frantic ball. Standing over her was Johnny, looking pissed off and wielding a leather belt in his hands. He's been beating her with it for some time.
"What the hell are you doing to her?! Get out!!" Amy screamed at him.
"Get the fuck out of here, you redheaded tramp! And take your equally pathetic bitch with you!!" Johnny screamed.
"Johnny, please don't hurt them! I'm the one you want! Leave them alone, please!" Melina screamed, her face damped with tears.
"You damn right, you stupid whore! I can't believe you're getting married, Melina! I told you no one wants your stupid ass but me! What do you see in him, anyway?!" he shouted.
Amy couldn't take it anymore. Matt used to act like this when they were together, but she had no one to help her out before. Well, she's not about to let Melina get hurt again after she worked so hard to get over her ex-boyfriend. She was gonna help her best friend if it's the last thing she does.
Johnny was about to hit the Mexican-American beauty with the leather belt once again when suddenly, the high-flying diva pounced on his back. Christa signaled Melina to get out and find some much needed help, which she did in a flat second. Johnny, enraged that his ex-girlfriend got away, slammed Amy back against the wall. She fell down on the floor; groaning in pain as he went over to where Christa was standing.
"Leave me alone, you psycho!" she screamed. But, her pleas fell to deaf ears because she wound up being cornered at the other side of the room.
"I'm gonna teach you both not to fuck with me, you lousy bitches!" he snarled in her face. Just when he was about to strike, the door burst open and Nathan, who held a bucket in his hands, hurled alcohol right in Johnny's face. He started screaming; covering his face in his hands to make sure it didn't get in his mouth. But, his eyes were the most damaging; they were turning red and starting to burn within seconds.
"You guys okay?" he asked softly as he got them out of the room.
"I'm fine. Amy's back is hurting, though. He slammed her against the wall after she pounced on his back," Christa explained.
"It's a good thing you told Melina to get out. I knew something was wrong with him," Nathan said, shaking his head.
"What's going on with him? You know something that we don't?" Amy asked as she held her back. The pain was slowly becoming a dull ache.
"Yeah. When she broke up with him last year, after catching him in bed with his pregnant fiancee, he became a bitter, broken man. The woman he cheated with not only got an abortion, but she kicked him out of the house they shared and moved back home with, get this, her estrange husband. Apparently, she's working things out with him. That must've pissed him off," he explained.
"Whoa, let me get this straight: his pregnant fiancee was already married? This guy is so fucking sad," Christa retorted.
"Why did she get an abortion?" Amy asked, looking curious.
"Turns out, she already has four kids with the man she married. She didn't want anymore, so she told Johnny where to go. Since then, he's been a mess. He's been taking his anger and frustration out on Melina whenever they ran into each other. Every chance he got, he'd berate her in front of everyone. Hell, he disrespected her right in front of me. I wanted to knock his ass out," he growled.
"You and me both, Nate. You and me both," Amy said, still groaning in pain.
"But, here's the kicker: turns out the baby she was carrying was her husband's. Johnny didn't find out until after she kicked him out. That sent him through the roof," he explained.
"No wonder he's been bitter towards Mel in recent months. The woman he messed with played him the entire time they were together," Amy said, shaking her head in disbelief.
"So, he wounded up blaming Melina because she wised up and broke up with him. What a jackass!" Christa bluffed.
Within minutes, everyone, including security and the local police was swarming the women's locker room. Nathan, having already been questioned, went and attended to his shaking fiancee, who was still crying. Amy, Christa and the others joined them a moment later, comforting her and making sure that she was all right.
Meanwhile, Matt and Adam stood outside their locker room, looking angry. They couldn't believe their plan went belly up.
"Way to go, you dick head! I told you using Johnny as bait was a bad idea! I told you he's gonna get fired! Now what are we supposed to do?!" Adam berated.
"Hey, don't take that tone with me, you asshole! How was I supposed to know that Melina's soup-cooler asshole fiance had a bucket of alcohol with him?!" Matt snapped.
"I'm beginning to think we're not connecting here, Hardy! I have a wife to go to, remember?! I can't keep doing this!" Adam snapped back.
"I know that! I have a fiancee to go to, also. But, you're not walking away from me, bitch! Besides, we still have to break up Amy and Hunter. Don't worry, man, our plan will be in full force at the Royal Rumble," Matt said as he and Adam went inside, not aware of the same person who overheard everything they said. Only this time, she wasn't alone.
"I'm telling you; Matt and Edge will do whatever it takes to bring Amy to her breaking point," she said, huffing.
"Babe, don't you worry about a thing. They'll never bother her again once we get done with them. Besides, I have some much needed dirt on the both of them," he said, smiling sadistically.
"Let me guess: I have to work really hard to get that information from you, right?" she quipped, smirking.
"Come on, babe, don't be like that. Besides, you wear the pants in our relationship. You're gonna find out, regardless," he grinned.
"True. So, how are we gonna do this?" she asked as they walked away.
"Well, we're gonna wait until they do something really bad to Hunter, then they're gonna lure Amy into the ring. That's when we'll make our move," he said confidently.
"I love you," she said, looking at him dreamily.
"I know you do, babe. I love you, too. And, don't worry. Amy will never have to worry about them after this Sunday," he replied as they went inside his locker room.
Meanwhile, the gang went inside Hunter's locker room, trying to calm down a hysterical Melina. Amy handed her a bottle of water while Christa, Trish and Lillian comforted her.
"What a night," Melina moaned, burying her face in her hands.
"Tell me about it," Christa agreed.
"I hope you don't go to jail for this, babe," Melina said to her fiance.
"Even if that does happen, baby, I have major support. Johnny attacked you, Ames and Christa. I had to do something to protect you," Nathan declared.
"He's right. Besides, with Johnny's track record, the possibility of Nate going to jail is slim," Randy assured the Mexican-American beauty.
"All thanks to having a damn good lawyer," Hunter concurred, chuckling.
Melina had to smile a little at that comment. "I'm okay, guys. I was just shocked and scared, that's all."
"I doubt that Johnny will ever bother you again," Lillian assured.
"Yeah, Mel. What Nate did was his wake-up call," Trish said, smiling slightly.
Everyone was left unscathed for now. But, come the Royal Rumble, all that can change in a flat second.
Even if it killed them.

Mystery couple's locker room
"So, how are we gonna do this without Matt and Adam knowing?" she asked as she laid in his arms.
"They're gonna try to lure Amy into the ring. By then, the lights will be out. That's when we make our move," he explained.
"Poor Ames. I told them that if they kept messing with her, I was gonna toss their asses out of here. They didn't get the message," she groaned impatiently.
"Baby, don't worry. They're gonna be out of here after the Royal Rumble. Once we reveal some shocking information about them, Amy will breathe easier. She can be happy with Hunter without anymore problems."
"I hope so, babe. I don't want her to get hurt anymore."
"Trust me. After this Sunday, that'll never happen again."
Next chapter, everything goes down at the PPV. Plus, which wedding would you like to see happen first: Nathan and Melina, Trish and Andrew, Hunter and Lita (come on, I have every intention of marrying them, like I always do concerning my favorite couple), or how about the wild card, Randy and Christa?
And, as I mentioned in the beginning, the person who overheard Matt and Adam is not who you think. Yes, it's a she but she now has back-up. I'll leave you with a clue: they both work with WWE and he made a huge comeback (spoilers for tonight)! Stay tuned!
Please review!
