Chapter Twenty Five – Recovery Lessons
Near Washington state
The ARK Angels of DX headed for the site of one of the few active volcanoes on the West Coast determined to get Aurora Rose out of there before things got out of hand. In LC's mind they were already out of hand.
"I can't believe the Kliq did this, how far are those morons willing to go to get at our parents?" LC asked Cameron as they marched up the volcano site in unison with Cheyenne.
"As always I don't think they knew the extent of using that evil spray paint, they probably thought it was just some cool thing to do to freak our parents out. I doubt they knew it would mean Aurora Rose ending up inside a volcano," Cameron said and he stopped walking and waved pointed to the spot beneath them, "She's here," he said pointing down.
"Aurora!" LC cried out and underneath the ground Aurora was about to explode. She heard her sister's voice knowing that the ARK Angels of DX had come for her and as expected they were right on time.
"Get me out of here!" she yelled back but she wasn't sure they could hear her. She had been cramped up inside the volcano by herself and she felt this urge to release a jolt of energy through it to stop the feeling of her being closed in. Being inside the volcano was like being in a pit; it was tight and suffocating like being in a steel black box. The only way Aurora knew how to deal with these kind of situations was through her weather power but if she did use her Gift from God now she would activate the volcano and end up killing herself and the people around her. "Guys hurry I don't know how much longer I can control myself!" she cried out and Cheyenne heard her loud and clear with her Phenomenal hearing.
"We got here just in time guys Aurora's getting antsy," Cheyenne said and she pushed her weight down on the side of the volcano with her hands causing a part of it to split. Cameron touched the ground.
"It's getting warm, Chey you gotta move fast," Cameron said to his sister who cracked the volcano surface and peeled it back like the adhesive side of a band aid. She jumped inside and cried out for Aurora.
"I'm over here Cheyenne!" Aurora cried back and Cheyenne followed her voice to where the volcano was narrowing. It was so dark she couldn't see anything but she could smell something burning and the earth under her feet started to stick.
"Aurora hold on I'll be right there!" Cheyenne said moving as hastily as she could but she could tell that the volcano was responding to Aurora's irritation and was starting to warm up. Cheyenne reached out in front of her in the pitch blackness. "Aurora come towards me!" he cried and Aurora started to move. As she did so the volcano started to shake.
"Cheyenne come on!" Cameron yelled from the outside knowing the danger his sister was in.
"Aurora reach for me!" Cheyenne cried out and Aurora felt around in the dark and moved towards the sound of Cheyenne voice but the more she felt around in the darkness the more agitated she became.
"I can't see you!" Aurora cried out and the volcano responded to her frustration by becoming incredibly hot.
"Oh boy," Cheyenne said to herself, anyone else would have suffocated from the heat by now but she was equipped for this rescue mission. "Aurora we'll be out of here before you know it," she assured the Helmsley heiress who was coming closer to her. A few seconds later they touched each other's fingers.
"Cheyenne!" Aurora cried out.
"Aurora!" Cheyenne replied and they embraced each other.
"Which way do we go?" Aurora asked Cheyenne and GPS stretched her leg out and felt where the ground was steep.
"This way must lead to the top of the volcano," she said and she took Aurora by the hand and led her towards the exit. Aurora followed behind Cheyenne grateful that she had come for her knowing that when God sent help He always sent the best and they didn't come any better that GPS.
"Why have we stopped?" Aurora asked as they stopped moving.
"We reached the top of the volcano but its blocked so I have to use my Phenomenal Strength to unblock it," Cheyenne said and she put her hands on the earth resting over their heads. "I need you to move to the side because when I move this the whole thing is going to crumble," she said to Aurora and she gently pushed Aurora back so that she wasn't directly under the top of the volcano.
"But won't that mean that you'll get trapped under it?" Aurora asked concerned but GPS wasn't interested in her own well-being, she only had one mission and that was to get Aurora out of there. As she put pressure on the volcano ceiling it started to come apart and the sound of it was so loud that Aurora had to cover her ears. The ceiling broke apart and light beamed down into the volcano from outside.
LC and Cameron ran towards the top of the volcano but found themselves rolling back down it as Cheyenne cracked the volcano top. On the third attempt they managed to hold their balance and they peered down into the volcano and saw Aurora looking down at a pile of rubble.
"Cheyenne's under there!" she cried out but LC and Cameron pulled her out before she could rummage through the dirt to retrieve GPS.
"She doesn't need your help Aurora she'll be fine," Cameron assured LC's sister and the volcano began to shake and suddenly Cheyenne burst through the rubble and climbed out.
"Man is it good to be out of there!" she said shaking the volcano dirt off of herself and Aurora hugged her.
"I'm so glad you're okay," she said hugging Cheyenne tightly.
"The feeling's mutual," Cheyenne said.
"Do you know what would have happened if we didn't get you out of there in time?" LC said to Aurora who nodded.
"Yeah I know – ka-boom!" she said illustrating a volcanic eruption with her arms. "I was so frustrated because I couldn't see where I was and I couldn't fly. I knew I could count of you guys to find me," Aurora said hugging the Cameron and her sister. "Where are we anyway?"
"We're near Washington. Trish called and told us that you were in a volcano here," Cameron said and Aurora furrowed her brow.
"On the West Coast?" Aurora said bemused. "Last time I checked I was in Florida getting my portrait taken with my family. Are they okay?"
The ARK Angels exchanged glances knowing that the other members of the McMahon and Hardy family were also in some sort of danger, "Maybe we should get you away from the volcano before we answer that question," Cameron replied and the ARK Angels walked briskly with Aurora to Cameron's car and drove as far away from the volcano as possible before saying another word.
Maximum Security Prison, Los Angeles, CA
Jeff Hardy woke up with his head spinning looking up at a bright light in a room where lots of men were gathered around tables eating. The men were all wearing the same clothes - bright orange jumpsuits and there were guards posted around the exits of the room. Jeff looked down at himself and saw that he wasn't wearing the same clothes as the men around him.
"Hey where am I?" he called out sitting up when a loud buzzer went off and another guard entered the room getting everyone's attention. The guard came over to Jeff and pulled him to his feet.
"You better come with me," he said leading Jeff towards the door, "you're not supposed to be in here,"
"Where am I?" Jeff asked looking around and then he realized exactly where he was, he was inside a prison.
"Just be glad you're leaving," the guard told Jeff.
"Hey!" one of the inmates called out and the guard stopped and turned back.
"How come he gets to leave?" the man asked.
"Because he's not supposed to be here," the guard replied. "Why don't you mind your own business?"
"What happens in this prison is my business and I want to know why this man is leaving?" the inmate said coming closer to Jeff and the guard.
"You better back up and go back to your seat," a guard said coming over to the inmate.
"I feel like leaving too," the inmate said and other inmates got up and came up to the guards with him.
"Nobody else is leaving, everybody sit down or things are going to get real ugly in this place," the guard with Jeff warned everyone and the inmate touched Jeff's face.
"Seems like the only thing that's not ugly is getting out of here scot free," the inmate said and Jeff batted his hand away from the man.
"Don't touch me," Jeff warned him his wrestling instincts starting to kick in and the man went to punch him and ended up punching the guard that had come to get Jeff out of the prison instead. The other guards pounced on the inmate and started to club him and the other inmates took offense to that and started to attack the guards. A massive brawl broke out and some of the inmates looked at Jeff.
"He started all of this get him!" one of the inmates cried and he pulled Jeff by his hair while the other inmates went for his clothes. Jeff tried to pull away from them but they had him in a vice like grip and he was going to be in trouble if help didn't come soon.
"Hey let go of him!" came the commanding voice of Dave Batista and the prisoners were startled at his appearance whereas Jeff was just happy to see him. "We came to get our friend, now you either give him to us or we do this the hard way fellas, the choice is all yours," Batista said and Jeff wondered who else he had brought when he saw Justin Danner and John Morrison right behind him. Justin was no small man and he was ready to do what was necessary to get Jeff out of this situation along with Batista and Johnny.
"So what's it gonna be fellas?" Justin asked the inmates holding Jeff and they exchanged glances with each other before coming to their unanimous decision.
"FIGHT!" they said and Batista and Justin ran towards them and began to fight them. It wasn't long before their bodies were being thrown across the room and slammed against the floor. Batista, John Morrison and Justin were no pushovers and with their help Jeff could certainly handle one or two guys himself. Before long the whole prison was in lockdown mode and Jeff, Justin and Batista got thrown into prison cells with the other inmates. After they had calmed down the guards let them go and the three men walked out of the penitentiary into the arms of a relieved Melina, Brie and Maria.
"You got him out in one piece, bravo fellas!" Melina said to the men as she checked to make sure Jeff wasn't hurt.
"How did I get in there?" Jeff asked her. "Last time I checked I was in Florida getting my portrait painted by John Cena,"
"Yeah you were but Vince had a run-in with the Kliq after you left that kind of messed things up," Batista said as they all exited the prison gates.
"The Kliq, they're the reason I was in there?" Jeff said disgusted.
"They found this spray paint that made you all disappear when they sprayed it over the portrait John painted of all of you," John Morrison explained further and Jeff's eyebrows rose off of his head.
"All of us, you mean I'm not the only one they went after?" Jeff asked.
"No, so far we've recovered you and Aurora but Stephanie, Vince, Linda, Beth and the A Twins are still missing," Melina said.
"But we know where they are," Maria said before Jeff freaked out, "We just have to get to them all,"
Jeff was about to ask more questions when Aurora flew down to everyone with the ARK Angels of DX.
"They got you out!" Aurora said jumping on Jeff who hugged her relieved that she was okay as was everyone else.
"Good job Chey," Melina said knowing that Cheyenne had pulled Aurora out of the volcano.
"Save the congratulations for after we get everyone out of danger," Cameron said. "What's the status with the McMahons?"
"Shawn and Hunter are at the bank now," Melina said checking her phone and seeing the message left from Trish.
"At the bank, what are you talking about?" Jeff asked the ARK Angels.
"Your wife and her parents showed up at a bank downtown and its being held up by some bank robbers," Melina explained. "DX are on their way there right now,"
"Well what are we standing here for let's go!" Jeff said and he took to the air with Aurora before quickly turning back, "Oh that's right, only we can fly,"
"No but we can drive real fast," Batista said and everyone ploughed into his escalade and Justin and Brie's car and headed downtown, although given what Trish had told her Melina wondered if the only danger the McMahons were in was from laughing themselves to death at what DX had in mind to stop the bank robbery.
Chase bank, downtown Los Angeles
Everyone was frozen to the ground with their hands over their heads as the armed bank robbers intimidated the three people standing the middle of the bank trying to stay calm. Those three people were Stephanie, Vince and Linda McMahon; when the robbers recognized them they decided to single them out while the cashiers gave them all the money they could get.
"You run that wrestling company, you must have a billion dollars on you right now," one of the robbers said to Vince and then he looked at Stephanie and Linda. "You two must be rolling in the dough, how much was that wedding ring?" he said looking at Linda's wedding band. "Give it to me,"
Linda refused and he pointed his gun at Stephanie and she quickly relented and gave him the wedding ring.
"That's better," the gun man said. "What about you, let's see your wedding ring,"
Stephanie knew she could appease the robber by giving him the beautiful multi-jeweled ring that Jeff had made especially for her but she hated seeing him bully her mother and she felt compelled to stand up to him. She stood in front of her mother and put her hands on her hips.
"Go ahead shoot me," she said and Linda gasped horrified.
"Stephanie what are you doing?!" she cried and Vince did one better and stood in front of his daughter.
"Daddy what are you doing?!" Stephanie cried.
"If you're going to shoot anyone shoot me," he said and the robbers laughed at the McMahons bravery.
"We don't want to shoot anyone but I do want that ring," the robber said pointing at Stephanie's finger.
"Well she doesn't want to give it to you so why don't you take your money and get out of here?" Vince said and everyone on the ground marveled at his bravery.
"Wow that's quite a set you've got on you," the robber said and he held his gun up to Vince, "and there's nothing I hate more than a rich man with a big mouth,"
Suddenly two men came through the door also wearing masks and carrying guns, "And there's nothing we hate more than a bunch of lousy imitators moving in on our turf," one of the men said and Stephanie, Vince and Linda's ears pricked up at the sound of the man's voice, there was something very familiar about it. "We're here to rob this bank and if you're not down with that we've got two words for ya – GET OUT!"
The other robber looked down at all the people on the ground, "So are you guys down with us robbing this bank?" he asked the people.
"No," everyone replied.
"Well then get out!" the man said and the people all left much to the original robbers horror.
"What are you two doing this is our bank job and you just let all those people go!" the robber complained.
"Well maybe you should have thought of that before you decided to rob the McMahons. You see we've been targeting this family for years and nobody goes after them except us," the new robber said. "Now you can either take the money you stole and get out of here or you can stay here and get shot by us,"
The robbers exchanged glances and they decided that they had already been there for too long, "Okay we're outta here," the robber said as his accomplice picked up the cash they had demanded. "They're all yours,"
"Um excuse me I think you forgot something," the other robber said as the robbers were about to leave.
"What?" the robber asked him.
"Linda McMahon's wedding ring," the robber replied holding out his hand and the robbers laughed at him.
"You expect us to give you back the lady's ring?" he asked the new robber and he stepped on his foot and he dropped the ring. Ow!"
"Thank you," the new robber said. "We told you nobody steals from the McMahons except us,"
"Come on let's get outta here," the robber said picking his buddy off of the floor and making a beeline for the exit only to find a bunch of cops outside waiting for them having been called by the people the new robbers let go. When the new robbers heard the sirens they pulled off their masks to reveal their true identities.
"I can't believe you guys did that," Stephanie said putting her arms around DX and Shawn gave Linda back her wedding ring.
"Thank you so much Shawn," she said and she hugged him relieved that it was all over.
"Things could have gone so wrong but that didn't stop you two from putting your lives on the line for us, I'm impressed," Vince said to Shawn and Hunter.
"You're impressed by us? You should be impressed by yourself; you're the one who stood up to those robbers. They could have shot you," Hunter said.
"If that happened this whole thing would have gone in a completely different direction," Shawn said.
"How did we get here? We're we at home getting our portrait painted?" Linda asked her family who shrugged.
"That's the last thing I remember," Stephanie said looking around and then she realized there were several members of her family missing. "Hey were are Jeff and the kids?" she said and DX were about to explain when Jeff and Aurora came flying into the bank with the ARK Angels, Batista, Maria, the Hennigans and the Danners not too far behind them.
"You're safe, thank God!" Jeff said hugging his wife and in-laws along with Aurora.
"Yeah we are thanks to these two," Vince said pointing to DX.
"A fake bank robbery, wow you guys certainly live up to your degenerate reputation," Batista said with a smile.
"When it comes to the McMahons its best to stick with what you know," Hunter said hugging Aurora while Stephanie looked around for Beth and the A Twins.
"If you're looking for the rest of your children they're with Amy, Rebecca Michelle and the Ortons going at about a hundred miles per hour," Melina said and Stephanie, Vince and Linda looked at her confused.
"We'll explain in the car, let's go," Jeff said and they all left the bank while the police arrested the bank robbers not bothering to stay around for questioning, though it wouldn't be long before the police were soon after them.
