Chapter 25: No more hero
MONDAY NIGHT
Raw kicked off with Storm standing in the ring as he had Scarlett who was sporting a stitched lip and he had a mic in his hand as he looked pissed.
"XANDER! I'm sick of trying to get through to your delusional mind and last week you went too far and you hurt Scarlett!" Storm shouted as the camera had a close-up of her face. "Whether or not it was intentional I don't care you've gone off the deep end and now I wanna kick your ass! So get out here right now and take your ass kicking like a man!" Storm challenged me to a fight as he waited for my arrival.
But I didn't show up and instead someone else decided to make an appearance on Raw.
"Ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention please! My name is Mr. John Laurinitis, I am the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and I am here tonight because Triple H is unable to be here he has asked me to take charge tonight." Laurinitis said as he made his way down and entered the ring.
"Now Michael I understand your anger and frustration but the board, Triple H and myself have decided to make a match for Night of Champions." Laurinitis announced.
"I'm not waiting till then! XANDER YOU COWARD! GET OUT HERE NOW!" Storm demanded I come out there as he was more agitated.
"MICHAEL STOP IT! " Laurinitis said trying to defuse him as he calmed down. "Now look I want a straight answer from you in front of the WWE Universe…are you responsible for the string of attacks on Xander Cage?" he asked him.
"I am responsible for…stealing 150 million dollars from Terry Benedict, I am responsible for bringing back the McRib, I did in fact marry and divorce both Megan Fox and Halle Berry in one day." Storm said as Scarlett looked jealous but he waved at her to settle down as she did. "I also stole your wallet Johnny and I am your father." he joked as then the crowd got in on that.
"NNNNOOOO!" the crowd said taking notice to that classic line.
"Well one of those things is true." Storm said handing his wallet back to him annoying the Executive further. "But once again I did not attack Xander Cage, I am not responsible for that, but I will be responsible for delivering a beat down to him tonight!" Storm said as he still wanted to fight me.
"Don't make this harder for yourself than it already is, now to ensure you both are in one piece for your match at Night of Champions you are both not allowed to touch one another until then other wise you will both be suspended for a year without pay." Laurinitis stated as that got a negative reaction even upsetting Storm.
"However Xander has declined the chance to pick the match you both will have so it's all up to you." Laurinitis said as that cheered him up.
"I'll make my decision by the end of the night." Storm said as he now had some thinking to do.
LATER ON
For me however things were a lot different as I was in the locker room and the respect I once got was gone, even though I didn't mean to hit Scarlett I'm still convinced Storm is lying about his involvement.
I was sitting down trying to think on what to do tonight as I was approached.
"I'm not here to judge you, I'm here to say that you lost respect and yeah I admit someone is doing this to you but it's not your buddy for sure and need to open your eyes and-"
"John shut up." I said not wanting to hear anymore. "I really don't care what you think and as far as I'm concerned I don't want to talk with anybody so do me a favour and for once in your life…SHUT UP!" I shouted not wanting to hear anymore from Cena as he left me alone.
I had at that point have had enough of being this guy and now it's all about unmasking this Mystery Man and exposing Storm for the liar he is.
I left there quick and began my investigation into this as I started looking around to see if I could find this guy lurking and get some answers.
LATER ON
Welcome to the jungle hit as Storm made his way out and it looked like he had decided on what to do for our match at Night of Champions as he entered the ring and asked for a mic and he got it and was ready.
"Alright I've done some thinking about this and because of all this crazyness we've gotten caught up in I've decided how this is going to go down between us both Xander so if you have anything left between your legs you'll come out here and hear what I've got to say." Storm said calling me out.
I've had enough, I'm taking you down, taking you down!
Egypt Central - Taking you down hit as I had a new theme and a new attitude to boot as I made my way through the crowd and stayed as far as I could from the ring just staring at him.
"Is this how it's going to be now huh?" Storm asked me as I just stood there staring at him. "Ok since you won't talk I'm going to come out and say it, this match isn't a wrestling classic oh no it's going to be a fight, it's going to be an eye for an eye!" Storm stated.
I stood there again unaffected.
"So at Night of Champions it should be hell for us both and it will be in a 3 STAGES OF HELL MATCH!" Storm said making the match.
I nodded agreeing with that.
"I think as the first fall we talked about getting tapouts on one another so let's do that all over the place in a Submissions Count Anywhere match." Storm announced the first match.
I nodded to that match.
"Second fall, there is a lot of blood that we've spilt over the years and now we make it flow once more in a First Blood match." Storm announced.
I nodded really wanting that match.
"And the third fall if somehow we need it, it should be a match where anything is legal and the only way to win is to beat your opponent so bad they can't respond to the count of ten in a Last Man Standing match!" Storm announced as that got the crowd going wild.
I now had the right matches to exact revenge on him and make sure if he tries anything I can beat him to it.
"With all that said I wanna know one thing, are you sorry for hurting Scarlett?" Storm demanded to know.
I had a mic on me. "I apologise to Scarlett for my actions last week, but don't think for one second that this makes you innocent." I said making the apology but also still convinced of his guilt.
"Then I'm gonna have to beat it into you that I'm not the bad guy!" Storm stated as I walked off out of there.
But then as Storm went to leave John Laurinitis came out.
"Hold on Michael I can't go without a main event match tonight and it's going to be you versus a man you bulldozed though at Summerslam…John Cena!" he announced making the crowd go crazy for that rematch. "And that match is next." he said as Storm just got ready to fight.
Raw came back from commercials as Storm was ready to fight.
Time is now hit and Cena made his way out and was ready to battle his rival and after Summerslam he wanted payback as he saluted the WWE Universe and ran right down the ramp and into the ring, he did his pose to the crowd and threw his shirt and hat to them and both men stared each other down.
The bell rang and both locked up but Cena got the headlock in as then Storm countered into one of his own as he took him down to the mat and then locked in a front headlock but Cena got out and had him around the waist as that then grounded Storm but he got them up to their feet and threw Cena off as both men faced one another in a defensive position.
They locked up once more but then out from the crowd came the Mystery Man wielding the bat in his hands as both men saw him standing outside the ring and just looking up at them as he began circling the ring watching them while they fought in the ring but Storm was too distracted.
He could not keep his head in the match and decided to leave the ring and confront this guy, he was face to face with him, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" he shouted at him as he gave no response but then Cena came out and also confronted him but was met with a baseball bat to the gut as the ref called for a disqualification.
But then from behind I was back and attacked him as we fought but then as I threw a fist he ducked and was about to collide with Storm's face but he ducked it as the no contact rule applied we both tried to stay away from one another but I wanted to hit him so bad.
However before I could react to grab him the lights went out as they came back on and…HE WAS GONE?!
Both of us were just confused and the staredown began but then…THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN?!
They came back on and…I WAS DOWN!
The Mystery Man stood in front of my unconscious corpse as he backed away from me and Storm and looked to him and gave him the thumbs up and left through the crowd even though he tried to stop him he got away.
This had made Storm look guilty as charged but he was even more confused as this new Mystery Man was hinting at the alliance but again I wasn't buying his innocence as I was taken to the back I knew I needed to be more on my guard, he could strike anytime and I need a plan to make sure he doesn't strike first.
MONDAY NIGHT
I was out in the ring and I was not hiding anymore, I had officially had enough and wanted to get this over with.
"This has gone on long enough." I said as the crowd was booing me and right now I did not care one bit.
"Mystery Man or should I say Storm's accomplice get out here now and face me like a man!" I called out my attacker.
I waited in the ring for him but someone did come out only it was not him.
"My name is Mr. John Laurinitis, I am the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and filling in tonight again for Triple H." Laurinitis announced.
"I don't care who you are so say your piece and leave." I said not even caring he was the man in charge tonight.
"Xander I would appreciate it if you would show me the same respect you show Triple H." Laurinitis asked me.
I stood there not bothering to respond to him.
"Since there is a lack of respect around here and that things have gotten a little out of control, Triple H is trying to get the bottom of this mess between you, Michael Storm and this Mystery Man that's been attacking you, I have decided to put you in a match tonight." Laurinitis announced.
"I don't care, all I want is to beat Storm down at Night of Champions and prove him for the liar he is and get everything back that was taken from me." I stated as the crowd booed me.
"Well that's too bad Xander because your match is right now and it's against the man who defeated you two weeks ago on his debut." Laurinitis said as I knew who he meant.
Push it hit as Lethal made his way out and he full of confidence as he had already beaten me and was also going to this Sunday and becoming Cruiserweight Champion of The World, he entered the ring as I was just focused on beating him and getting back to my business.
He entered the ring but within seconds I just came at him and the bell hadn't even rang I was blindly beating the hell out of him as he didn't have a chance to even get out of the box, I quickly pummelled him into the ground as I then I turned him over onto his stomach and LOCKED IN THE DEADEND! Lethal was tapping out like no tomorrow as this was me making a statement of the first fall in my match.
I let him out of the hold and threw him to the outside as then I continued the assault I just drove his head into the barricade as he hit with a loud thud, bringing his lifeless body up I took him by the head and just threw him head first once more into the steel steps and crashed into them, I brought him up again and he had been cut on the top of his head as that was the next statement for fall number two.
I brought the bloodied Lethal up to his feet and dragged him over towards the announce desk as I used it to hold him up as I then took off my gloves and I DOVE RIGHT INTO HIM! I laid the fists to the wound on his head as bare knuckle came down on his flesh, I left him there lying on the table as I cleared it and brought him up to his feet as both King and Cole tried to stop me from doing what they and everyone else thought I DROVE HIM THROUGH THE TABLE WITH A XANDER ZONE!
I emerged from the wreckage as Lethal was out cold and the third statement was made for fall number three showing what I would do to Storm this Sunday as I went to grab a chair and rolled back into the ring and set the chair up as I grabbed the mic.
"Ok no more games! No more distractions! Mystery Man get out here!" I demanded.
There was no arrival. "I can stay out here all night." I said as I sat in the chair and just waited for him to show himself.
Welcome to the jungle hit as I should've know he'd show up and try to get in on this.
"You really have lost it! Look what you just did to Jay Lethal!" Storm said as I looked back and saw him being helped to the back by medical personnel. "If you want this gut then let's put aside Night of Champions and we find out who this guy is targeting you and then after that we beat the hell out of one another." he said trying to convince me it wasn't him again.
"Stay where you are!" I got up looking around. "Stop playing with me here!" I said as my state of mind began to go elsewhere.
But then the lights went out, they came back on and I was laid out and standing there was the Mystery Man as he looked to Storm and I was told that Storm just went after him but as he got into the ring the lights went out once more and they came back on the Mystery Man was halfway in the crowd as he looked to Storm and gave him the thumbs up and ran out of there as once again Storm had been implicated.
He looked at me lying there unconscious and just left me there.
LATER ON
"Michael we need to talk about this Mystery Man." Scarlett said to her boyfriend.
"What can I say, he's some nut who's targeting Xander and is pinning the blame on me and people are beginning to buy into it." Storm said.
"Maybe but why drive Xander to the brink of paranoia?" she asked.
"No idea but I'm going to get answers." Storm said.
LATER ON
Storm was in the ring.
"Mystery Man whoever you are get back here and just tell us who you are and why your doing this!" Storm demanded as he waited.
"Michael." it was the disguised voice of the Mystery Man. "You wish to know who I am? I'm your biggest fan." he said.
"My biggest fan? Really? You got a funny way of showing it." Storm said.
"But I did what you did because you inspired me and let's face it Xander Cage…his time is up." he said.
"So you want Xander out why?" Storm asked.
"He's holding you back, you should be the star, the true face of WWE not playing second fiddle to him as part of a tag team." he said making his reasons.
"Stop playing games and show yourself!" Storm demanded.
"If want to meet I'm the parking garage." he said as Storm raced there.
PARKING GARAGE
"Alright I'm here where are you?!" Storm called out.
"I'm here." he heard the voice as it was coming from a nearby car as he approached it he found a baseball bat on the floor and grabbed it in case as he searched for him as he found something alright.
"Uh…" it was me I was slowly waking up.
As then he realised he had the bat in hand and I was there and no Mystery Man meant one thing…
"Get him!" as Storm was restrained by security as Laurinitis approached him.
"Take him away and get some help for Xander and Michael…YOU'RE SUSPENDED!" Laurinitis said.
Storm had been suspended but what would this mean? What about this Sunday? Who the hell is this guy?!
No match for Night of Champions? Storm suspended? Xander's gone off the deep end? What will happen next?
What you think? Reviews please!
