Star stood on the stage, flanked by Emma and Adam Rose. All three of them stared determinedly at the looming Elimination Chamber.

"You two will get into the pods. I'll start the match." Star told them. "You'll both be able to use Pain Eyes from there, especially if Randy's picked a Phenom."

"Right." The pair nodded.

"Emma, you can only use Healing Eyes once before your eyes are wrecked, so you're only to use it if you get eliminated." Star continued.

Emma nodded.

"Same with you and Time Eyes. If you get eliminated, we'll need your Time Eyes to give us a chance to think of a new strategy." Star finished.

"Understood." Adam focused.

The three walked into the intimidating Chamber to the sound of "End of Days". Emma and Adam went into opposing pods, while Star sat in the middle of the ring. It was show time.

First Randy Orton walked out. He walked to the Chamber and stood in the ring opposing Star. Anger and hatred burned in her heart, and she knew it would be a long time before she could forgive.

Next, Daniel Bryan appeared. That made sense, as he was the Head of Clan Grey Goat. He got into the pod next to Emma, a look of almost sadness on his face. He didn't want to be there. He wanted the Lionswood tree to be returned to its rightful owners, but alas, he knew if he didn't side with Randy that the fragile alliance between the two Clans would fall apart. The Grey Goats were also rebuilding their Clan (not to the extent of the Misneaches though) and they needed support.

Star assumed that Kane would be the last competitor, being Daniels friend and all. She was wrong.

Dead wrong.

Her blood chilled at the sound of the first gong. It nearly froze when the lightening struck and the funeral dirge started. Mist surrounded the stage, the ramp, the Chamber.

The Head of Clan Phenom, the all-powerful Undertaker, was their third opponent.

Finally, The Miz appeared as a special favour to Bad News Barrett. He was to be the referee of the whole mess, as he was the only Barrett that the other Clans trusted not to screw them over.

Star sighed. Then she noticed something. As Maryse held the door to the Chamber open for her beloved, Star got a good look at his eyes.

"NO FREAKING WAY!" She gasped. The Undertaker spun around to look at Miz. His eyes were silver!

On Valentines night, Miz had given up on Imprinting. He knew it was hopeless. To make himself feel better, he decided to spoil Maryse rotten. Seeing her so happy, and being so happy that she was happy was enough to trigger the Imprint. He had given everything he had to make sure she had the perfect night, and now he finally understood what Bad News had told him.

Maryse had triggered his Silver Eyes earlier, and then told him he wasn't allowed to leave Silver Eyes Mode until after the match. Miz, being completely consumed by his new form, wasn't in any state to disobey. Not that he wanted to.

The Undertaker raised an eyebrow, standing in his pod. The Barretts were Imprinting again. Something to watch out for.

The bell rang, and the match was on. Randy and Star didn't even bother locking up, instead they just went straight to brawling all over the Chamber. They hated each other with a passion, and there was nothing in the world either of them wanted other than to kill the other.

Randy slammed Star down just as the next pod opened. Emma was only just able to stop him from punting Star in the head!

The two Misneaches wore him down, Emma getting him with a good hard stare of Pain Eyes. While she had Randy under control, Star activated Future Eyes.

They had to get rid of Randy, because if the Undertaker came out next he'd team up with Randy and the girls would be in trouble. Star had to do a double-take though, because when she saw what would happen if Daniel got out...she hadn't realized the Grey Goats were on their side. Flakes.

"Get Randy out of here!" Star commanded. Emma quickly hit the Viper with the Emma Lock, forcing Randy to tap. Good.

Then bad. Out came the Deadman! He threw the two girls around like rag dolls, hitting Emma with Snake Eyes and Old School and catching Star in the Hells Gate before Emma saved her.

"Damn!" Star hissed. She prayed that Adam was the next one released.

It wasn't to be. Out came Daniel, the Head of Clan Grey Goat looking confused and worried. He immediately went after Emma, who couldn't stand the heat and was eliminated.

Star gulped. It was now her against two. Thankfully, Emma was able to hook eyes with her as she left, giving Star a much-needed boost with Healing Eyes.

Star knew she had to be smart. She thought back to her training with Bad News.

"You're fast and you can usually find a good hiding place. Use that to your advantage. If you can get your opponent unawares, you have a better chance of surviving."

Star quickly jumped onto the top rope, before launching herself at the cage! She hung up there while the Undertaker and Daniel did their best to get her down.

"Get down here now you coward!" Daniel roared.

"So be it." Star grinned, hitting a double-leg drop on the pair, knocking them to the cold hard steel that surrounded the ring. "I'm down now, what next?"

The Undertaker growled angrily, before attacking. Star fought back, the contest even for the most part.

Until the Undertaker looked over at the pod holding Adam, and the wily Misneach hooked him with Pain Eyes! Star took the advantage and beat the Undertaker down as Adam got out of his pod and attacked Daniel.

It was chaos, which only ended when Daniel eliminated Adam.

"I'm done Phenom. I did my part by the law, and now I'm out. I don't agree at all." Daniel said as he went to leave the Chamber alongside Adam. Furious at being betrayed, the Undertaker made to grab Daniel and beat him to a pulp, but Star caught him in a sleeper hold!

The referees argued with Daniel. Suddenly, CM Punk appeared and slipped into the Chamber!

Star dropped the Undertaker and went to attack, but the battle had worn on her and she fell victim to the "Go To Sleep"!

"You will NEVER get your Lionswood back." Punk hissed at her. He went to the Undertaker and tried to help him up.

Rage filled the Deadman. He might have wanted to keep the Lionswood away from his sworn enemy in the Misneaches, but he'd be damned before he'd take help from a filthy LEECH! He chased Punk out of the Chamber.

"And STAY out!" He roared. He turned back around to continue pummeling Star, and walked straight into the Wastelands!

One! Two! Three! Star had defeated the all-powerful Undertaker! And with Daniel gone, that meant that the Lionswood was coming home to Radaxian!

Star bolted from the Chamber, nearly crying with happiness and relief. Their tree was coming back. They were going to be reunited with what made them Misneaches in the first place.

"Wow. Did I just give the Misneaches their all-powerful weapon back?" Miz asked, the Silver Eyes receding.

The Undertaker replied with his fists. Poor Miz.

Star rushed backstage, where Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Beth Phoenix, Ezekiel Jackson and Bad News Barrett were waiting to congratulate her. Bad News wrapped her up in a fierce hug, before they were dog-piled by Justin and Heath.

"And as a congratulations..." Bad News pointed to a table that had been set up.

On the table were at least 50 varieties of honey.

Star squealed.

John Cena stood in the shadows, watching his girlfriend dive head-first into her favourite treat. He wanted to be happy for her, he really did, but he couldn't forget how she'd gone after Randy in the Chamber.

So he walked away.

The Misneaches all stood in their ceremonial dress, traditional Irish cloaks over traditional Aboriginal body paint, a symbol of their mixed heritage. The Barretts wore their traditional deep blue Viking tunics with black coats (Bad News Barrett wore his coat over his shoulders, much to the annoyance of his older brother). The Grey Goats stood firm in their armour. The Vipers wore Asian silks, the men with their katanas attached via a sash, and the Phenoms stood in their ceremonial dress as well (think the Undertakers entrance at Wrestlemania 14. And no, Kane did NOT like wearing it).

The tree stood in the middle of Radaxian village, having recently been transplanted. It looked ill and tired.

"It's probably not going to make it." Randy Orton said bluntly. "And good riddance."

"Back off Viper, you're on Misneach territory and we WON'T hesitate to kill you." Hazard warned.

Walter clipped Randy over the back of the head, annoyed.

"Hey." Star approached the tree, which sagged lifelessly. "You miss your friends, don't you?"

The tree moved limply, as if hit by a sudden breeze.

"You're back with your Misneach friends now." Star tried to console it. She put her hands on the wood.

"It's dying Star. I think it's time we just left it in peace." Emma looked crestfallen. The last piece of the past, what the Misneaches had once been, and it was dying.

Star looked sadly up at the tree, which seemed to agree with Emma. Star felt tears well up in her own eyes and Bad News laid a hand on her shoulder.

"No." Said a voice, so similar to Star!

"Mum?" Star looked towards the voice. Shazza Misneach had stepped out from the crowd, and was walking towards the tree.

"Stay out of this Shaz." Hazard tried to stop her, but she pushed him away.

"No. I was once earmarked to be Head of this Clan, so let me try." Shazza said stonily. She looked up at the great tree, her eyes turning the colour of the night sky. She reached out and touched the wood, stroking it gently.

The tree began to sway, and bent its leaves over her head. She smiled, her eyes bloodied and blind.

"GO MUM!" Star cheered. All of the Misneaches joined her, whooping and cheering loud enough to raise the dead. The tree seemed to join them, happy to be restored to its people at last.

"So...you're basically a witch?" Heath Slater asked, confused, as the party droned on around them. The Misneaches sure knew how to throw a celebration.

"Yup. When a young Misneach turned eleven, they would go into the Lionswoods and chose a tree to ask for a branch. The tree would then drop a branch down for them to turn into a wand." Emma replied, sipping her lemonade.

"So just curious, whatever happened to the trees you cut down?" Hazard asked Walter as the pair enjoyed some chips and dip.

Bad News Barrett was standing nearby with Star and John Cena, and he heard the conversation. He turned pale again.

"We kept the wood somewhere safe, but someone stole it twelve years ago." Walter frowned. "Which is a problem because that wood is still very powerful. For example, you could build a room out of it which no one would be able to find, not even if they tracked your cell phone."

Star blinked. She looked at Bad News, then at the chatting Walter and Hazard (who had moved on in conversation) and then burst out laughing.

"What's so funny Pooh Bear?" John looked confused as Bad News shot the worlds filthiest look at Star.

"Private joke." Star giggled. She knew where that wood went!

-Eight Years Prior-

"I wanna have a go!" Star whined as Bad News Barrett used a hot poker to torture his latest victim, a young woman who had gotten in a little too deep to the seedy underbelly of the world and had wanted out. The Mob were paying very handsomely to have her disposed of!

Bad News laughed. "Okay Lucky, but be careful, the poker is heavy and hot and I don't want you to burn yourself." He handed her the hot poker gently, where Star proceeded to smack the poor lady around like a pinata.

Bad News chuckled, and walked over to the cupboard, helping himself to a cigar. Star was having a ball as the lady screamed in pain. Suddenly, the womans mobile phone fell from her pocket.

"Oh cool! I needed a new phone after SOMEONE dropped mine in the bath." Bad News scowled at Star, who looked worried.

"Wait, won't the authorities be able to track her phone to here and find her?" Star asked. The lady looked hopeful.

Bad News laughed. "See this wood the room is lined with? It's magic wood. It's like we've disappeared off the face of the planet. Best of all, if I use the right symbols, with the wood I have leftover from lining the walls, I can create a portal to this place from anywhere in the world!"

Star blinked. "That is so cool!" She said, poking the lady in the cheek with the hot poker. Then she had another thought.

"Hey Wade, where'd you get the magic wood from?" She asked innocently, trying to make the lady swallow the hot poker.

"Never you mind young lady!" Bad News suddenly turned pale. Star shrugged, and continued to make the poor lady miserable.

Nice parenting skills there, Bad News.


And we all wonder why Star has issues. After that, I don't think the Deadman is particularly fond of our favourite Misneach. I'm sure it will end just fine ;-)
