Wassup? The war between The Cena's and MNM is in full flow now with Miz and Mara joining the victims list, will Jason and John, along with Shawn and Ken Kennedy, gain a measure of revenge just two days before Survivor Series? Will Kennedy be able to work with his team? Lets find out!
Here We Go!
Brotherly Hate-Chapter Thirty Seven-Gang Warfare"So, all in all, not the best week of your life huh?"
Jason was sat in the locker room talking to Mara over his cell phone, his girlfriend was already in bad physical shape following the beat down from Melina's crew and had to spend most of her time with an icepack on her neck, however her week got worse when she watched the TNA pay-per-view Genesis, her brother Christopher had been in an elimination X match, TNA's version of a classic Survivor Series match. The 'Fallen Angel's' team won, with him and Samoa Joe the survivors, but after the match the two began arguing over who should have got the pin at the end, they seemed to sort it out but Joe suddenly turned on Christopher and gave him one of the most brutal beatings Jason had ever seen, he still winced when he thought of it, especially the muscle buster on a steel chair, the end result was Christopher left with a grade-three concussion. Mara, despite not being in the best condition herself, had flown out to Orlando to be with him, Jason and John were now at Smackdown, the final Smackdown before Survivor Series.
"So, how is he?" He asked.
"He's doing better, but he's still out of it".
"Alright, wish him well from me".
"I will".
"Bye".
He hung up the phone and started to change into his ring gear, despite his feelings for Christopher he genuinely wished him well, no-one deserved a beat down like the one he received, he was interrupted by Shawn coming in the door.
"Hey kid! How ya doin'?"
"I good Shawn, you up for tonight?"
"Oh yeah, I'm gonna teach those four punks a lesson about respect!"
"Damn right, I'm gonna make them pay for what they did last week".
Shawn laughed. "Yeah, I figured you'd wanna do somethin' like that".
Jason smiled and began to pull on his elbow pads. "You seen Kennedy yet?"
"Yeah, he's hanging around the locker room".
"Could ya go get him? We're gonna need all hands on deck if we're gonna pull this off tonight".
"No problem, I'll get him now".
MNM's music hit in the arena and Melina led her crew out to the ring, mic in hand, when they got in the ring she addressed the crowd.
"Last week, my team sent a statement to the Cena's, you do not mess with us! Mara Daniels tried to take my place as the dominant diva on Smackdown, and look what happened, she ended up being sent to the hospital. Now, she isn't here tonight, but I know she's watching from somewhere, so Daniels, get well soon because I want to be the one who has the pleasure of putting you on the shelf permanently! And…"
Melina was cut off by John's music and his team all came out onto the aisle, there was a moment's stare down, then they came charging down to the ring! Melina bailed and left her team to fight it out, a full scale brawl broke out in the ring, Jason was fighting with Mercury and quickly sent him outside, he turned to see Chris Masters trying to put Shawn in the Masterlock, a quick superkick sent Masters down, he rolled to the outside to join Mercury, Nitro was also sent to the outside leaving Carlito alone, he backed away from Jason and John, but spun round to receive Sweet Chin Music! Jason and John dragged him towards the ropes as Kennedy climbed to the top-rope, before he could jump Masters reached in and pull him out of the ring, Kennedy hesitated a moment, then dived off the top after them taking them both out! The Cena's and Shawn watched on allowing MNM to sneak attack them, they took out Shawn and brawled with the Cena's.
Suddenly Teddy Long's music hit and he practically ran out to the ring and grabbed a mic.
"Enough! I'm tired of this! The past few weeks have been nothing but gang warfare between all of you and I'm sick of it!"
He was speaking more to Melina's team than The Cena's, Melina had already pulled them out as Teddy had entered and they were standing on the aisle, Teddy continued.
"Now, I know that in two days, you will all be competing in a classic Survivor Series match, but tonight, we're gonna have a little preview, each team will pick one competitor each to compete in a singles match, the rest of the teams will be barred from ringside! Now I want a decision on who's gonna be in the match, and I want it now!"
Melina's team had a conference, then Masters stepped forward.
"O.K. Chris Masters is representing his team, and who's representing you guys?" He asked John, the older Cena went to give his answer but Jason stepped forward.
"I am!"
"Very well then, tonight, one-on-one, it's gonna be 'The Masterpiece' Chris Masters against Jason Cena!"
Jason and Masters stared each other down before Melina's team left.
Back in the locker room, Team Cena was having a talk.
"What are you doing bro'? I wanted Kennedy to be in that match".
"Why?" Asked Kennedy.
"Because I wanted to see how you do in the ring" replied John. "Then again, I'm kinda glad Jason stepped up because I know I can trust him to get the job done".
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means, that I know that Jason is onside, you I'm still not sure about".
"So why did you put me in the team then?"
"Because Shawn said you were the best candidate we had, if I had my way then Finlay would be in the team instead".
"You still don't trust me? I saved his girlfriend last week, something that you failed to do!"
"Look, Kennedy as far as I'm concerned you're only here to make up the numbers, if we were allowed to have only three guys then you wouldn't be on this team".
Kennedy stood up and got right up in John's face, Jason and Shawn stood up as well ready to pull them apart if a fight broke out, however Kennedy stepped back.
"Ya know what? Forget it, you wanna talk shit you do it to someone who'll take it, I QUIT!"
He turned to leave but John grabbed his arm.
"Hey! I'm not done talking to you…"
"Take your hand off me!" Kennedy spun round and pushed John away. "Forget it Jason" he added as the teen opened his mouth to speak. "I ain't working with this asshole!"
With that he turned and left the room, slamming the door behind him, Jason rounded on John.
"Now what are we gonna do?"
"We find someone else"
"There is no-one else, you just lost us the only guy who was gonna team with us!"
"Hey! Don't blame me! We couldn't trust him anyway".
Jason shook his head. "I can't deal with this right now, I've got a match next, you two better fix this" he added to Shawn and John as he left.
Chris Masters slowly made his way to the ring, he was under orders from Melina to 'Put that little punk down' he intended to do just that, Jason's music hit and the teen came out to the ring, Masters met him on the outside and started where they left off earlier, they brawled round ringside and Jason gained the advantage, he slammed Masters head into the ring apron and hit a clothesline to knock him down, he whipped Masters towards the crowd wall but Masters reversed it, Jason jumped up onto the barrier and tried to come off with a clothesline but Masters caught him and drove him back first into the ring post, he picked the teen up and gave him a slam on the floor before picking the teen up again and tried to slam his head off the steel steps but Jason blocked and slammed Masters' head instead then gave him a suplex. He picked Masters up and rolled him into the ring before climbing to the top-rope, he came down looking for a cross-body but was caught, 'The Masterpiece' then threw Jason up in the air and drove him back-first into the mat, he covered, but only got a two-count.
Masters quickly pressed his advantage, he picked Jason up and whipped him, the teen came back off the ropes and Masters backdropped him almost ten feet in the air, the teen landed hard and tried to pull himself up with the ropes but Masters came over, he pushed Jason into the corner and gave him a few chops to the chest, he then gave the teen a suplex for a two-count, he picked the teen up and hit a short-arm clothesline followed by a backbreaker for another two. Jason retreated to a corner again, Masters followed and tried to whip him across the ring, Jason reversed and sent Masters to the corner, he charged, but Masters exploded out of the corner with a clothesline that almost took the teen out of his shoes! He covered but only got two.
Masters began to start toying with Jason, he picked the teen up and hit a hanging suplex, holding the teen up for several seconds before dropping him, he followed up with a legdrop for another two, he picked Jason up and backed him into the corner, giving him a few more chops, he put Jason on the top-rope and tried to follow but the teen fought him off and sent him back down, he stood up but Masters hit the ropes causing him to fall back down, 'The Masterpiece' then walked over and picked him up into a military press, he held Jason up for a few seconds then dropped his neck across the ropes before giving the teen a DDT, he covered but Jason again kicked out at two. Masters was continued to keep the advantage by dropping an elbow across the teens neck, then a legdrop, then another elbow, Jason rolled onto his stomach so Masters gave him a big kick to his ribs.
'The Masterpiece' picked the teen up and gave him some more chops, he whipped him but the teen reversed it and went for a backdrop, however he lowered his head too early so Masters gave him a kick to the chest followed by another big clothesline for a two-count, he quickly picked the teen back up and hit a swinging neckbreaker for another two. Masters started to get frustrated, he hit another legdrop on Jason and put on a sleeper, the teen didn't have much fight left in him and quickly went limp, the referee checked his arm and he only just managed to stop it on the third drop, he tried to raise some adrenaline but without Mara at ringside yelling encouragement he was finding it hard, he fought his way up to his feet and elbowed his way free, he tried to whip Masters but it was reversed, he ducked an elbow and hit a flying forearm! He lay on the ground for a few moments then nipped up, he spun round to face Masters but received a huge clothesline to send him back down! Masters covered, but Jason kicked out again.
Masters was starting to grow really frustrated, he picked Jason up and backed him into a corner, he gave the teen a few chops then whipped him across the ring, he tried to follow with a clothesline but Jason moved! Masters hit the corner hard and Jason followed up with a stinger splash across his back followed by a reverse DDT! Both men were down but fought their way up, Masters was up first and swung for Jason's head, the teen blocked and gave him a right of his own, Masters reeled but tried again but again Jason gave him a right hand, the teen hit a few more punches to back Masters up to the ropes, he tried another whip but Masters reversed it and went for a clothesline but Jason ducked and hit the brakes, Masters momentum caused him to hit the ropes and when he came back Jason hit a powerslam! He covered but Masters kicked out.
Jason was finally back in the match, he waved his arms trying to encourage the crowd to pump him up more and they complied, Masters was up to his knees so Jason ran forward and hit the shining wizard, he covered but only got two, he tried to clothesline Masters but he ducked and went for a slam, Jason slipped out and went for a reverse DDT but Masters countered and went for a clothesline of his own, Jason ducked and dropped him with a neckbreaker for another two. Jason quickly hopped to the top-rope and waited for Masters to stand before coming down with a cross-body, Masters caught him again and tried the same move he hit earlier but on his way down Jason countered into an arm-drag! Masters rolled to his feet and charged the teen but received a kick to the stomach followed by an impaler! Jason covered but again only got two.
The teen was now feeding off the crowd, he climbed to the top-rope again but Masters intercepted him, the two fought it out and Jason hit a big right to send Masters down, he then followed looking for a frog splash… and connected! He covered, but at two Masters put his foot on the bottom rope. Now it was Jason's turn to look frustrated, he whipped Masters and hit an elbow, he then went for the five-knuckle-shuffle, gave the DX sign, and connected! He then called for the F-U, he lifted Masters up but he slipped behind him and went for the Masterlock! He hooked one of Jason's arms but the teen gave him some shots with his free one to break the hold, Jason went for the F-U again but Masters again escaped and tried another Masterlock, this time he grabbed both of Jason's arms but before he could lock it in the teen used Masters body to pull himself up, slipped his arms free and went for a victory roll but Masters used the teens momentum to roll through and finally put on the Masterlock! The teen immediately began struggling to free himself but the hold was on and it was on tight, he ran Masters backwards into the corner but he held the hold on, he tried again but it was the same result, then charged towards the opposite corner and lowered hit head causing Masters to ram his own head into it but the hold was STILL on!
Jason started to get desperate, he went towards the corner again and used his feet to push himself off but Masters rolled through it and kept it on, the teen quickly fought up to his feet before Masters could clamp it on and keep him on his knees. Masters put the hold on tighter and Jason began to fade, he looked over at the ropes and an idea came into his head, he ran forward and, with the last bit of energy he had, jumped over them and landed on the apron! This effectively counted as a break and the referee began his five-count, at four Masters broke the hold and threw Jason from the apron to the floor, the teen's head bounced off the crowd barrier on his way down. Masters tried to follow but the referee stopped him and began counting, for a moment it looked as though Jason would be counted out but he managed to get onto the apron at nine, Masters came over and tried to suplex him back in but Jason grabbed his head and jumped backwards off the apron, this caused Masters head to whiplash off the ropes and fall backwards, his elbow caught the referee as he fell and knocked him down as well, Jason meanwhile had grabbed the crowd barrier for support, he went to get back in the ring but felt someone grab his arm, he spun round to see a fan wearing a hoodie pull back his arm… then everything went black.
The 'fan' stared at Jason's prone body, then slowly pulled the hood off to reveal Carlito! He smiled and kissed the lead pipe he was holding in his hand then took off as security approached, Masters came out of the ring and grabbed Jason, the teen was out of it and was practically dead weight, he rolled the teen into the ring and covered, the referee was still down but was starting to recover as Masters yelled for him to get up. Suddenly Ken Kennedy came charging down the aisle, he climbed up to the top-rope without Masters seeing him and came down with a Swanton bomb! He rolled Jason on top of Masters and rolled out of the ring as the referee returned to count Masters down, three seconds later Jason had the victory!
As soon as the three was made Kennedy rolled back into the ring and started to help Jason up, the teen was conscious now but still pretty dazed, as Kennedy got him to his feet he looked at him and said.
"Don't I know you somewhere?"
Kennedy laughed and ruffled Jason's hair before raising the teen's arm, suddenly Carlito came back through the crowd and got in the ring, Kennedy saw him coming and dropped Jason, the teen promptly dropped back to the ground, Carlito swung the pipe at Kennedy's head but he ducked and nailed Carlito with a punch, he went down and dropped the pipe, Kennedy picked it up and prepared to use it on him but MNM charged the ring, Mercury tackled Kennedy causing him to drop the pipe then he, Nitro and Carlito put the boots to him, Shawn and John then came charging down to make the save, Shawn quickly took out Nitro and sent him out while John got rid of Mercury, Carlito tried to nail both of them but they ducked and he ran straight into Kennedy's fist, he went down and rolled out of the ring to join the rest of his team.
Shawn tried to help Jason back up as Kennedy and John stared each other down, without a word John held out his hand, equally silent Kennedy took it and shook it, they then turned to watch MNM, Carlito and Masters leave.
