Chapter 24:
The arena lights were setting the mood as the most feared cage was being lowered down into the ring, the audience was watching closely as the referee stood in the middle of the ring bravely. Just then Matt Hardy's theme echoed around the arena as the said superstar walked out of the gorilla not knowing that his followers and soldiers are now ceased by Randy Orton. He confidently walked down the ramp eyeing the cage like a crazed demon. As he finally entered the ring as well as the cage he climbed the top turnbuckle and showed the fans his famous 'V.1' hand sign.
He then climbed down and waited for his opponent's entrance…
Randy walked out of the gorilla surrounded by his own army making Matt's eyes widen in shock, the Viper released a small smirk that said everything that Matt doesn't want to know. He then climbed the stairs alone as his own army stand behind him like the faithful and loyal people they are. "You can do this Ortz!" Cena yelled in support as the others hyped the fans to start chanting "Orton! Orton!" over and over again; Randy laid his arms out like the one in his 'Legend Killer' pose as he bathed in the support of the fans. As he climbed down of the turnbuckle he and Matt looked at each other, anger and hatred shown in their eyes. Orton anger and hatred for the man who wanted to tear his family apart, who harmed his son, who ordered for his father and father-in-law to be beaten; Hardy's eyes harden in anger and envy as he stared at the man who took the man he love away from him, the man who made him miserable for years, now was his chance to avenge his broken heart.
"This match is scheduled for one-fall; first billing from Cameron, North Carolina Matt Hardy!" Lillian introduced the older Hardy as he turned and hyped the fans in supporting him since he finally realized that his own army is somewhere preparing to fight back against the army Orton has assembled."And his opponent, billing from St. Louis, Missouri Randy Orton!" she continued as Randy turned towards the fan with his steely eyes that made the fans cheer for him joining the people that he considers close friends in cheering for him.
"Ring the bell!" the referee called out as the two men locked up in the middle of the ring as they try and overpower each other but in the end Matt won as he first had the upper hand, he delivered blows into the younger man's body as he yelled his anger and frustration out. But Randy was not going down without a fight so he delivered his own punches towards the older man. They were getting at it and using the cage into its full advantage as they slammed each other down on the steel floors, giving each other DDT's on them as well.
Matt again had the upper hand and saluted to Chris Jericho whose eyes widened when he saw that Matt was setting Randy up for the Walls of Jericho. Randy was crying out in pain as he was folded into two, he is not giving the monster the satisfaction of seeing him quit and broke down. He is fighting for his family; the faces of the people that were counting on him flashed in his head as well as the people who helped him get to where he was now.
"Give up Orton or I break you in half." Matt threatened "I told you Evan is mine, seeing that I am the better man, quit Orton." He taunted as he pulled the younger man's body backward making him fold almost in half but Randy persisted, his husband, his puppy, his love, his Evan came rushing in his head, how the man that was fighting him and breaking him in half had scared his younger lover away from his own home, violated Evan for years. He wouldn't quit.
Suddenly the fans gasped as they saw Evan walking down the ramp, his huge belly out and proud as he hurriedly walked past the people who helped him and his husband take their son and parents back. "Randy come on baby, you can do this!" he cheered his husband on as Cena smiled as he called onto the fans who were all chanting "Orton! Orton!" again and again "Come on baby, I know you can break his hold, do it for me" he begged as he rubbed his swollen stomach and smiled encouragingly "for us" he ended as he stared at his husband pained blue-grays.
Randy nodded as he somehow made himself unfold in half and break the older man's hold as he scrambled towards Evan, "What are you doing here?"he asked worriedly as he glanced at Matt Hardy who he threw onto the steel floor face first.
"I came here to cheer you on" Evan revealed "we're on this together Randy, remember? You're the one who told me that. We'll fight him as one" he continued "Break him baby, for me" he began as he reached out and held onto his husband's outstretched hand "for our son" he continued as Shane and Jamie with the people who rescued Ivan from Matt's soldiers came out Ivan smiled happily as he finally saw his fathers' "for Destiny, our daughter" he pursued "and for our parents, avenge them Randy. Protect us." He ended as he kissed his husband's palm before he let himself be pulled back by John as Cena saw the determination flash in his best friend's eyes.
Randy slithered back-up as he stalked towards Matt, "You harmed my family Hardy, you hurt my friends" he began as he punched Matt on the head repeatedly "you stalked my husband, you beat our fathers" he continued as he then set-up Matt for another devastating DDT "you hurt my son, and you made me almost lose my daughter" he paused as he tapped Matt twice on the back before laying the DDT face-first on the steel floor making Randy gasp in hurt but he still persevered as he once again slink back-up as he watched Matt with squinted eyes, "Get up you monster and fight back!" he demanded as he circled Matt whom he pulled inside the ring laying him on the middle of the ring.
"This is for my husband" he stated as he stomped onto the laid-out left arm of Matt "this is for Ivan" he continued towards the left leg of the older man "for Destiny" he then stomped on Matt's right leg "and this is for my parents" he ended as he stepped harder onto Matt's right arm before he pulled back and met the hurt and angry eyes of Jeff Hardy as he nodded in understanding. "This is for your brother-in-law" he ended as he prepared Matt for the figure-four lock but instead of keeping his arms locked onto the feet Randy stretched out his arms and grabbed Matt's head as he pulled it back while keeping the figure-four locked tightly. "Give up Matt or I would not hesitate to break you in half." He threatened.
Matt sighed, as he tapped-out making Evan release a relieved smile as the arena was brought down by cheers by the fans as well as the superstars as Randy's arm was raised over his head. After the referee let his hand go, Randy climbed the top-turn buckle closer towards his friends and laid his arms out in his classic Randy Orton pose before going to the next side and doing the same thing into the four turnbuckles before going down and smirking when he saw Matt in all-fours. Jeff and Chris smiled as Randy approached the corner before running in full force and punting the Angelic Diablo on the head before he approached the opened gate and delivered a parting word, "Love conquers all Matt, especially a love like mine and Evan's; no one can ever come between us, just look at your pitiful army, oh wait yes you can't even see it. See you around when you come back into the land of the living Hardy-boy."
Randy then came down the stairs and into the open arms of his husband as his friends and family chants his name over and over again, finally his family is now safe from the monster that Matt created through his jealousy, his envy and his anger. Life now is completely at peace, Randy smirked at that as he picked his son up before gathering his husband closer toward him and kissing his lips lovingly, "I love you Matthew Joseph "Evan" Korklan-Orton"
"I love you more Randal Keith Orton" Evan whispered as he gazed at his husband with love filled eyes.
Ivan wiggled from his daddy's hold before turning towards his two fathers' "I love you daddy" he started as he kissed Randy's cheek before turning towards his poppa "I love you poppa, thank-you both for protecting me." He revealed as he kissed his father's upturned face.
"We both love you as well Ivan, remember that son. Always." Randy whispered as he led his family and friends backstage as the fans saw the tied-up superstars and divas inside the room being guarded by Rhyno and Abyss.
"Do you think Matt would still come onto Evan after this?" Abyss asked
Rhyno turned towards the other man and shook his head, "If he doesn't want to endure what Randy gave him as a warning? He'll not do this again." He replied as the door opened and peeked in Edge.
"Its time for the happy ending boys." He revealed as the fans cheered their agreement. It is indeed time for the happy-ending for this real life drama they have witnessed.

It already have been six months since the incident with Matt Hardy happened, before the Angelic Diablo left the country and made a new life at Australia Evan begged Randy to be able to talk with the former WWE star;
"So this is it?" Evan asked as he heard the PA system of the airport call out the flight of the older man.
Matt nodded as he looked past Evan and saw Helms, Mizanin, Ashley and Jamie looking at them curiously, "I'm afraid so" he whispered
"Take care out there okay, Matty?" Evan asked as he hugged the older man "find yourself out there, get married, be happy and most of all move on." He whispers
Matt nodded as he embraced the younger man back, "Thank you for seeing me for the last time Evy," he whispers "I'll try and see if I can have the love you are enjoying with Randy." He continued.
"You will Matt, you just have to open your heart again" Evan answered before stepping back "good-bye Matty, I'm going to miss you."
Matt smiled at his younger friend as he grabbed his carry-all before waving at the other people Evan was with before approaching his terminal, "I'll start and find love like you did Evan, be happy with Randy. He is indeed the best man." He whispers to himself before he handed the woman his ticket and passport before disappearing.
"Be safe Matt, be safe" Evan whispers before he went towards his friends.
Shane smiled at his half-brother, "So are you ready to go home?" he asked
"Yep" Evan answered as they made their way out of the airport, smiling and at-ease for their lives are now at peace without a dark cloud looming over their horizons.

Evan was standing in-front of the mirror inside the room that he have been waiting at for a few hours already, just then the door opened, he smiled as he saw his four-month old daughter Destiny Kassandra who was being carried by Elaine Orton came in followed by his friends, his mother and lastly by Becky.
"So are you ready to get married again?" Lena asked her best friend as she approached him and strengthens his tie and jacket lapel.
Evan grinned, "Are you kidding? I can't wait for my honeymoon!" he kids making the other occupants of the room laugh as well as he approached and caressed his daughter's chubby cheeks. "Are you sure you can look over them for awhile, momma?" he asked as he looked at Elaine.
"Hush you" the Orton matriarch stated, "I can look over my grandbabies for a few days, besides Josie and I have planned activities for them already, we're going to stay at your ranch as you and Randy enjoy yourselves in the Bahamas!" she ended making Evan smile.
Evan looked at his friends and smiled, they were all wearing gowns that was white on the bust area that darkens into a dark champagne color by the end of their skirts, it was also fitted to their bodies but was varying in designs, they were also wearing a corsage rather than carrying a bouquet of flowers, Evan turned to the mirror once again and looked at what he was wearing, he was wearing a pure black tuxedo, white long-sleeves, the cufflinks Randy has given him that has an inscription behind with the words Love conquers all RKO-MJK, he was wearing a light champagne colored tie and a yellow rose pinned on his jacket lapel. "Becky is our prom the inspiration for my wedding?" he asks as he turns to his husbands' sister, who was grinning,
"Yep, now let's pile out. It's time." Becky announced as they all went out of the room.
In another room waiting was Randy, unlike Evan who was thinking Randy was having conversations with his bestmen and groomsmen, he was wearing a striped black and white suit, and underneath it he was wearing a crisp white long-sleeves, a checkered tie, he was also wearing diamond cufflinks, and a yellow rose was already pinned on his suit lapel, Ivan was curiously watching his father.
The nine year old boy then asked, "Dad why are you rubbing your ring finger for like the past minutes?"
Everyone turned to the groom who was indeed rubbing his bare ring finger, "What?" Randy asked shocked "I am not rubbing the finger that is bare of your poppa's wedding ring, nope." He denied it with a furious shake of his head.
"Uh-huh," Ivan relented with a playful smile that he have inherited from his daddy "whatever you say dad" he replied before he turned to AJ and John Keith "he is missing his ring already when poppa is going to put it back later on, jeesh grown-ups." He told his playmates making their own fathers shook their heads.
Adam nudged Cena, "Wanna bet that we're looking at a fourth-generation superstar and two more two-generation superstars?" he asked.
"Nah, don't do it with me" Cena replied with a smirk "I'm all for it, go bet with Nicole, she is absolutely against JK going inside the squared-circle. She said that she didn't give birth to him for him to just follow on my footsteps." He ended making the grown-ups smile at what he said.
Just then someone knocked on the door and peeked in Becky, "Hey asswipe, its time." She stated as she looked at her older brother, "Evan is already out of his room, anyone would think he was the groom instead of being the bride." She revealed
"Ssh…" Randy hissed, "there are kids here Rebecca!" he stated.
Becky looked in and saw Ivan and his group of friends that are consisted of the superstars' sons that are closer to his age group, "I don't see kids, I see young men who are going to make girls cry later on in life. Jeesh your kids got your good genes, poor female population." She replied before closing the door again and going back to Evan.
Cody gulped as he studied his own son and gulped again, indeed Becky was saying the truth, "Oh fuck" he whispers making Ted look at him,
"What?" the Million Dollar bastard asked.
Cody pointed at the group of boys that were inside the room with them, "They're going to grow-up like us!' he revealed making his friends look at their own son and saw what he was saying.
"And is that a bad thing?" Mark asked
Cody glared at the decorated man, "For you no, but for me? Yes. Taryn is going to kill me if Cory grows-up and started training to be a wrestler!" he answered.
"Whatever Codeman, alright let's get this over and done with, I have plans with my husband later on" Randy stated as they made their way out of the room.
It's time for their happy-ending to come true with one step out the door and into their church wedding.
