Welcome to Chapter Seventy Five! We're getting close to the thing that we shall not name (Seth) And want to know if you guys want me to keep the chapters going in one big story like eventually you'll have like over hundred chapters to go through...or do you want me to do this in seasons and start with chapter one again. Which would be easier for you to read.
Monday Night Raw: May 13, 2014
"So, here's the itinerary for the first couple of day." Angel nodded as she listened to the tour coordinator talk. "Things are subject to change just like any normal show. So take this with a grain of salt. I've also taken the liberty to add all the interviews and tours that you've booked the Shield for onto the list."
"Thanks you." She ran her eyes over the thing.
"If you have any questions fill free to ask." The man said as he closed up his bad.
"Will do."
"We'll see you on tour."
As the coordinator walked away, Angel felt her stomach fall. She was so nervous about the upcoming tour. The European tour. They were heading across the sea for two weeks. Two weeks on nonstop work, with brutal matches every day. And she was super scared that she would screw it up.
She knew that she had every ready to go, all the hotel room and flights were booked. She had meet and greets, interviews and tourist trips all planned. But she was still nervous that something was amiss. Even though she spent last night checking over everything. Her mom had to pry her laptop out of her hands just to get her to go to bed or she would have stayed awake all night long.
As worried as she was about the weeks ahead of her, she was glad that her mom had stepped in and forced her to go to bed because she was going to need to spry tonight.
Taking a deep breath, Angel started down the hallway that led to the back corner where the boys were getting ready for the show.
And what a show it was going to be. After last week, Seth, Roman and Dean were ready to get their hands onto Evolution and she was ready to let them. Though they knew it wasn't going to be so easy to lure the men out. So, they made a plan.
And it all started with a Shield promo, which Angel was still trying to figure out how she even got. But they did get it and they were going to use it. They were going to call out Evolution and demand a rematch at Payback.
A smiled appeared on Angel's face as she thought about the next part of their plan. Knowing that at least Hunter would have to acknowledge the call out and when he did…they would attack.
As she rounded around the hallway, Angel stopped dead in her spot. She blinked at the sight in front of her as she tried to figure out what she was sitting. She watched frozen in her spot as Stephanie walked away from Seth who was leaning against the wall outside of the Authority's makeshift office.
Of course, it could have been a coincidence. But something seemed off as she watched Seth take a deep breath and push his hair out of her face. As soon as his eyes landed on her, a smile came to her face. "Hey!" He called. "You're meeting done?"
Taking back by the sudden change in his mood, she nodded and waved the schedule for the next couple of weeks.
Seth nodded back as he glanced down to the floor. "Good. That's good."
"You ok?"
"What?" He cleared his throat. "Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm ok." Angel raised a brow. "Just a lot on my mind. You know between tonight and this tour…"
Angel agreed even though she knew he was lying. Something was bothering him, and it wasn't tonight or the upcoming weeks. No, she had noticed small changes in him mood ever since last Monday. After that weird phone call.
She was worried about him, but if he didn't want to talk about it she wasn't going to pry.
Seth clapped his hands together, making her jump slightly. "So, are you ready for the show?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "We've got some plans to get on their way."
…
Taking a deep breath, Angel looked around at the cheering crowd. It had been a long time since they had been able to do an in-ring promo and she was quite nervous.
She had seen all the praise for her promo on Friday. The fans had seemed to love her emotional outburst. Her parents had made sure she knew that by showing her comment after comment on social media. But all that was, was an emotional outburst. She didn't even know what she was saying at the time.
This promo wasn't like that. This was important. They had to do this right if they wanted their plan to work.
Glancing to her left, she saw Dean standing there with the mic in his hands as they waited for the lights to go up letting them know that the show was live. Letting them know when to start their promo.
When the Shield's music died down and the lights came up, Dean looked around before he fixated his glare on the stage; obviously ready for Evolution to come down at any moment.
"Last week you saw something you don't see very often." Dean started. "and you're not likely to see it again very often in the future. You saw all three members of the Shield laid out, flat on our backs. Yeah we got the crap beat out of us." He smirked. "But it's cool, it's all right. We might go down, but we don't stay down." Angel nodded as Dean's voice turned into his typical sing songy tone, where he likes to go from yelling to calm in the same sentence.
"And if you're keeping score at home, you'll find that we're up much more then we're down. Tonight, we're standing tall in this ring and make no mistake about it…" He pursed his lips and pointed at himself. "let me make myself very clear, right now….WE WANT EVOLUTION!"
The man started to pace as he pasted the mic off to Seth. "Let me make one thing perfectly clear, we are not running from Evolution, we are running to Evolution."
Angel jumped slightly and looked back as two large hands gripped her shoulders. Her eyes ran around the man who was holding her, as he twitched and looked at if he was fighting everything in his being to stay in one spot.
"You ok?" She asked quietly hoping that the mics wouldn't pick her up as she leaned her head against his arm. The only answer she got was those blue eyes landing on her face as his lips curled up into a sinister smile.
"If they got any guts, if they are half the men that they think they are, they'll except our challenge for a rematch and we will run through Evolution!" Everything seemed to get ramped up by Seth's words, the crowd cheered, Roman's pacing grew more erratic and Dean's fingers gripped harder into her.
"And when they show up here tonight, we're going to hunt them down. They're good. Evolution is good. Let's not take that away from them. These are former world champions; these are men who main evented WrestleMania…Evolution's good. Yeah, we get it you're real good. You were really good…" Angel blinked as Seth tone and demeanor changed just like it did before. It was like there was something more that he was trying to get off his chest. Though quickly he snapped back to normal just like that. "Because you're not the Evolution that you once were because you can't evolve into what it takes to beat the Shield."
Everyone glanced up at the stage, just waiting for Evolution's theme to play, everyone but Roman. "You alright, Big Man?" Seth asked, the mic barley picking him up. "I see you pacing back there, you got something to say?"
"He's mad, he's a little angry." Dean smirked as Roman finally grabbed the mic. "That's our cue." Dean said as he pulled Angel away from Roman who stepped up in front of the camera and stared dead at it.
"A week ago, you victimized by brothers, you toyed with my manger. A week ago, you ambushed me, you bloodied me, you RKOed me, you Pedigreed me, and you Triple Powerbomb me." Angel's stomach turned as she remembered everything that he was listening… "And all of that made me realized, is that all you got?"
Angel jumped as Dean laughed loudly into her ear. "Gotta love that man."
"Because if it is, you got a serious problem, you have a serious problem. And we're going to teach you that our brand of Justice, we can server it cold. We can serve it so slow. We're going to teach you to believe in the concept of payback, we're going to teach you to believe in the Shield, and me personally, I'm going to teach you individually to believe in me!"
"Your turn, Darlin'" Dean gave her a pat on the shoulder as he stepped away.
Exhaling, Angel stepped up and took the outstretched mic from Roman. The crowd was still cheering loudly from his speech as she brought the mic to her face, though before she could say a word. The titantron lit up for some reason….
Looking up, she expected to see Evolution standing there with smug looks on their faces but instead she saw a limo pulling up into the arena.
"What do you think we got here?" Seth asked.
"If they step out of that limo…" Dean threatened as the driver door opened and a man got out, walked around to the far side and opened the back door. Angel held her breath as she watched Hunter get out, followed by Randy and Batista
The boy's mood picked up suddenly as all three of them knew what was next. Though no one moved. "Boys!" She called into the mic, letting the whole arena hear her. They all turned slowly towards her, almost eerily as they waited to see what she was going to saw. Anger filled their faces, and she smiled knowing just how it was aimed at. "Sick 'em." She nodded.
As if she pushed a magic button they took out of the ring and up the ramp, leaving her behind. As they disappeared behind the stage, Angel couldn't stop herself from let out a chuckle. "Happy hunting!"
She dropped the mic and slowly made her way out of the ring, keeping an eye on the titaintron, just like everyone else in the arena was doing. Hunter was signing something that the tour coordinator had handed him while Randy and Batista awkwardly stood behind him.
After passing the clipboard back to the man and giving him a nod, he looked back and patted Randy on the chest. "Let's do this thing."
Angel stopped on the ramp as she watched with pride as the three men walked ahead not knowing at all what was about to hit them. A very angry train called the Shield.
She knew she had a dark smile on her face as she waited with bated breath for the boys to appear on the screen. Then it came, Seth's battle cry echoed through the speakers as a blur attacked Hunter and it wasn't long after that Roman and Dean entered the frame taking on the other two members of Evolution.
Roman smashed Batista against a road case, and Dean knocked Randy down to the floor, his head hitting sickly against the metal framing that sat next to where the limo pulled in
By the time she made her way backstage the ambush had already turned into the Shield being pushed away by the refs and officials. Knowing that this could get out of hand fast, Angel made her way down to the loading dock.
Though by the time she got there everything, but the limo had been cleared out.
Drawing her brows together she turned around and booked it towards their corner. Only to find it was just about as empty as the loading dock.
Worry started to fill her as she tried to figure out where the boys could have run off to. They weren't in catering when she walked past it, nor did she see then in the trainers' room.
Pulling out her phone she quickly called Dean and prayed that she didn't hear it buzzing away in his bag next to her.
"'Ello" Dean answered.
"Where are you?" Relief rushed her.
"Outside, we got kicked out of the arena."
She let out a sigh. "Of course, you did."
Dean chuckled as Seth and Roman talked very loudly in the back in the background. "Where are you?"
"In our corner." She said as she leaned against the wall.
"We got them good." Seth called getting closer to Dean. "Did you see their faces?"
Angel looked around at the small area as she listened to the boys playing around outside. That was when her eyes it the sign for the staircase. Cocking her head, she pushed herself away from the wall and walked over to the door under the sign. As she walked into the cool white brick staircase she smiled. Her eyes landed on a door that lead to the outside. One of the side-exits that was only used during games.
"Where did you say you are?"
"Outside, in the parking lot." Dean sounded puzzled "Why?"
"Walk around to the side of the building." She told him.
She heard Dean tell the other two to follow him as she pushed open the heavy door. Propping the door open, she watched the corner of the building until she saw the three Shield members come around the bed.
"Hey!" Roman called.
"Smart thinking."
Dean hung up his phone as he walked up to her with a huge smile on his face. "That's my girl." He patted her on the head.
"Now what?" Seth asked as everyone made their selves at home.
Angel shrugged. "Not sure, but I think we should keep our heads down low. If the Authority sees you, they're probably going to throw you back out."
Roman nodded. "Yeah, we need to bide our time, until they make their move. There's no way they're going to pass up answering our call."
She agreed with him. There was no way that Evolution was going to sit there and take the beat down and the call out. Their egos were too big for that.
"Alright, so we wait."
However, they didn't have to wait long.
Angel sat up from the floor where she had been laying. "Here we go." She called as Evolution's theme hit.
Suddenly there were three men gathered around her as they watched the small phone screen.
The men on the screen, looked less then happy as they stepped out onto the stage. After a small video package showing that happened earlier in the show, the show cut back to Evolution in the ring. Hunter was looking stoic as he leaned against the ropes, while Randy and Batista paced around behind him calling for the Shield to come try something. Which made Angel want to laugh as to their knowledge the Shield had been booted out of the arena.
Randy was the one to start things off. "Alright, listen Hunter I don't know if you've had enough but I've had enough. Dave I know that you've had enough. It's time to take the gloves off, it's time to start treating the Shield like we need….we need to kick their ass Hunter." Randy stuttered over his own words. "And I know they were your boys way back but I truly believe with all my heart and all my soul…"
"Heart? Soul?" Dean snickered. "This is Randy talking right?"
"…That it is time to put the Hounds of Justice to sleep."
All three men around her started to laugh.
"Put us to sleep?"
"I like to see you try Randy."
"Big talk from the man who lost."
Hunter took the mic and turned to Batista who was throwing a hissy fit. "I've had enough. I have enough. Enough. Their calling us out…." Even Hunter looked taken back by it.
"Alright, maybe it is time. Maybe it is time to take the gloves off. May it's time to finish this thing with the Shield. At Extreme Rules they proved how good they are, but I already knew that, it's why I brought them here Randy. It's why I coddled them, it's why I protected them. It's why I fed the rooster to them. To make them into something and I did."
As the words poured from Hunters mouth, she felt the energy in their back corner grow stale. Felt the whirlwind of anger that came from the three men hovering over her. They most certainly didn't like the fact that Hunter was taking all the credit for their success.
"They got a little too big for themselves. And I thought that I could salvage something out of that. And maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was wrong. You know I've been a little disappointed in them since Extreme Rules, tonight that little so called attempt of an ambush was pretty much the last straw. The Shield had no idea, they're undisciplined, they're like a bunch of little kids with sticks, waving it around at whatever is in front of them. So, it's going to end."
"The Shield, you want a rematch as Payback, you want a rematch for the match you already won, then so be it. You will get your rematch but this one will be different, because this one the gloves are off and Evolution will do what we do. We will take you apart, one by one."
"We will start… let's just start with that pretty little manager of yours, Angel Miles." Angel's name left Hunter's mouth and a growl like noise ripped from the man behind her. "Angel, you know has really proven Stephanie and I wrong. When we paired her with the Shield back in February, we thought she wouldn't last. She was spineless, weak, pathetic…she literally shook in her boots. We thought she would be here maybe a week or two. Hell, we thought that Ambrose was going to be the one to scare her off." Hunter chuckled. "Boy, were we wrong." He raised a brow at Randy who smiled back at his boss. One that made her feel uncomfortable. If them talking about her wasn't already awkward enough.
"She did in time grow a spine. But we'll see how long that lasts when we force her to watch as we take apart the man she loves, Dean Ambrose."
Hunter turned towards Randy. "You remember the guy who said, 'do we look humble to you?'" He said in what she thought was supposed to be Dean's low, gravelly voice but instead just sounded like he was constipated. "No, you don't yet, but you will. And when we're done humbling you Ambrose, we're going to move to the Architect of the Shield. Seth Rollins. And I'm going to pull that little hummingbirds wings off myself and when we're done with him we're going to move on to the Big Dog to Roman Reigns."
"I've had enough of this, if you have?" Dean stepped away. His body twitching with each movement. "I'm ready to go TEACH Evolution that we mean businesses this time. That we also are taking the gloves off…"
Seth and Roman looked at each other and nodded.
"Try and keep up, Babygirl." Roman smirked as the three men took off down the hall.
Not even having time to turn off the video on her phone, Angel tried her best to keep up as they booked it through the arena, avoiding all the crew members and officials that tried to get them to stop.
They didn't bother to go up to their normally entrance. Nope not this time. They pushed through one of the bottom entrances, the one that came out right next to the ramp. And with Seth leading the way, they charged towards the ring where Hunter was staring dead at the camera.
"You will fail to adapt at Payback….And you will…." Seth rolled into the ring and grabbed Hunter by the legs pulling him straight down to the mat interrupted the promo.
Staying back out of the way, Angel watched the mayhem that was going on inside the ring. As Hunter came spilling out over the top rope, she quickly got out of the way and jumped up onto the steel steps.
Randy and Batista were soon expelled from the ring as well. Meaning the Shield stood tall in the ring.
"Come on!" Dean called as he smacked his hand off the rope.
Though when Hunter answered his taunt and tried to get back up on the apron, both he and Roman knocked the man down.
"We don't have to wait until Payback for it!" Seth yelled as the Shield's theme started playing.
As Angel ducked into the ring, Batista's voice echoed over the speakers. "I've had enough!" He yelled. "I've had enough!" The man was making his way back down the ramp with a very nervous looking Hunter and Randy behind him.
"I've had enough of you, I've had enough of you, I've had enough of you and you." He pointed at each of them.
"Yeah well we're not very fond of you." Dean smirked. "Boo-tista."
"Reigns you're the Big Dog, I've had enough, you and me tonight." Batista threw the mic to the floor.
Roman nodded. "It's ON!"
"He's going to have a rude awakening." Dean said patting Roman on the chest.
"Roman vs a washed-up Hollywood star?" Seth smirked. "I know where my moneys at."
Angel took in the sight in front of her and couldn't help but smirk. Batista seemed to believe that he was in change of what was going down, but little did he know, he was just playing into their hands.
D.D.D.
Part one of their plan had worked out just beautifully. They managed to get their rematch with Evolution at Payback and give them a few more bruises while they were at it. Dean smirked at himself as he recalled the shiner that was standing out on Hunter's big misshapen nose.
"You got this one, man." He heard Seth trying to pump up Roman. "Batista is a walk in the park."
Turning around, Dean realized that Seth was talking to deaf ears. Roman was in his own little world in that head of his. They stood there outside of the top entrance waiting for their music to hit. Roman was leaning against the wall next to the door with his hands on his vest in that lone ranger, bad ass style that he liked to do while his eyes were aimed straight at the floor.
"We're coming back from commercial." The crew member with them said as they heard the fans starting to perk up again, right before their theme song hit.
Cheers roared through the doors as everyone looked back at Roman who pushed himself off the wall and gave them a nod. "Let's go this thing!" Seth cheered as they stepped through the door.
At the top of the steps, Dean stepped out of the way letting Angel go around him as he waited for the big guy to come out. Not a word was said as both of them put of their fists. But that was all he needed. That one gesture told him everything he needed to know about his best friend. It was one reason he was able to melt with men so much. Just one look, just one head nod and he knew that the man was, pissed off and ready to beat some ass.
Smirking to himself, Dean started down the steps after Angel who had gotten hallway down the stairs before he caught up to her. She must have felt him walk up on her, because she turned around slightly and smiled at him.
He had to fight against his own lips curling upwards as he nodded at her. She nodded back and looked forward once again. Dean shook his head, even when he's heading to war this woman can get under his skin and make him loose his hard-ass persona. Which still surprised him doing moments like this.
He should be pissed, smiling sweetly should be the last thing that he wanted to do right now. His mind should be filled with the brutal punishment that he wanted to inflict on Evolution, but instead, she infected him. His eyes should be on the prize, the match that was just ahead of them, but instead he was staring at the way her ass swayed in those tight black jeans.
Though as they got to the ring and Evolution's theme interrupted their own, all those sweet thoughts and urges washed away from his body. The only thoughts that ran through his mind as he glared at the men across the ring, weren't ones he wanted Angel anywhere near.
Batista got into the ring and he and Roman circled around waiting for each to make a move. Which was Roman, who went for the normal lock up only for Batista to duck and grab him around the waist.
The match up looked even as both Roman and Batista exchanged blow after blow, but there were little subtle movements that told a different story. Roman was in control of the match. Even as the man was being plowed into the corner, it was Roman's show. And he proved it by throwing Batista into the corner.
"Holy…" Dean whistled as he glanced over to Seth.
Batista smartly rolled out of the ring before grabbing Roman's foot and dragging him out as well. Which only meant one thing for Dean. It was show time. He watched carefully as Hunter and Randy stepped up closer to the fight, waiting for one of the men to make the wrong move. Waiting for their chance to get their hands on Roman.
Not going to happen. Dean smirked to himself as he met eyes with Randy. Make your move. He warned as Roman bounced Batista's head off the steel steps in front of him.
Keeping the two men on the far side of the ring in his sights, Dean watched as Roman took the match back into the ring. It hadn't been five minutes and Batista was already showing signs of wear and tear and looked as if he was regretting challenging Roman. Weight for weight they were even, but strength and gusto, Roman won hands down and 'The Animal' was starting to learn that.
"This is what he wanted." He smugly called to Hunter as Batista stumbled to his feet.
Step back to his spot next to Angel, Dean watched as Roman went for a leaping corner slash only for Batista to duck out of the way, making Roman smash into the top turnbuckle.
"Ouch." He rubbed his own check.
Being able to get the upper hand in the match, Batista threw Roman against the corners over and over, until Roman ended up hitting his shoulder of the steel post.
"Come on." Seth said through clenched teeth. "You got this."
Batista hit Roman with a Headlock Takeover before going for a pin, which Roman kicked at one. However, Roman wasn't able to get to his feet intime to avoid that boot to the head that sent him reeling.
"Shut up." Dean caught Dave Batista glaring at the chanting crowd and he couldn't fault the man, they were chanting "Boo-tista." But he could fault him for letting him get under his skin and distracting him from the match.
Due to said distraction, Roman was able to take control with a hit to the gut and a headbutt.
"Come on, come on!" Seth clapped his hand as Roman pushed Batista back for an Irish Whip. "Light him up."
The whip was beautiful, but the comeback wasn't. Batista caught himself on the ropes before realizing Roman's plan and shaking it up with yet another boot to the face.
He found himself amazed that Roman was able to stay standing after such a hit. He was even more amazed when Roman was able to come back with a huge clothesline that knocked Batista to the mat.
"There you go!" He clapped.
"That's how you do it!" Angel and Seth cheered along.
Though the cheering stopped as Batista crawled over to the ropes, near Hunter and Randy. "Hey!" Dean slapped Seth on the chest before nodding towards the scene. Which he was right to as both men checked on their teammate, while making their way up onto the apron.
"Oh no." He heard Angel sigh as both he and Seth jumped up as well.
As his eyes locked with Randy's once again, Dean wondering if this was the end of the match. Because if anyone made a move the match would be over and an all our brawl would start.
"You better watch yourself." Seth warned as Roman stood cockily in the middle of the ring with his arms out.
"What are you going to do?" He asked the two men in front of him. "Come on."
A.A.A
Angel stepped back as both Dean and Seth dropped off the apron. A sigh a relief came form her before she could stop it. She was glad that the match didn't devolve just yet into a brawl. One that she knew was going. Knew there was no getting away with out it.
If Batista won, Dean and Seth would jump in to protect their bother, If Roman won, Hunter and Randy would start a beat down on Roman. That was if the match was even finished. She had a feeling that it was going to be yet another DQ.
And her feeling seemed to only get validated when Roman set Batista up for his Drive-by kick. Randy and Hunter stepped in the way and stood there so the man couldn't deliver the hit, which was smart.
She glanced around, expecting to see Seth and Dean making their way over to defend their teammate only to see the two men racing across the ring for their twin Suicide Dives, which connected hard with the two men, knocking all four of them into the barricade.
Her stomach twisted as she forced herself to stay out of the way. Both Dean and Seth's heads hit against the barricade and to not be able to check on them was killing her.
A little bit of the anxiousness went away when she saw Seth hop to his feet and start wailing on Hunter who also, somehow managed to get to his feet.
She felt bad that her attention was taken away from Roman's match as Seth and Hunter came around the ring with fists flying but she was just barley able to get out of the way of as Hunter sent Seth right over the announce table.
She gasped and went to go check on the man, when she was stopped by Hunter standing in front of her with a huge smirk on his face.
"Aren't you going to make sure he's ok." Hunter said in a mocking tone. "Aren't you going to be their mummy and check all their little injuries and boo boo."
Angel watched as his eyes went from her up to the ring and something clicked in the man's face. Though before she could glance back to see what was going on behind her, Hunter stepped forward, pushing her out of the way. She stumbled against the announce table and swiveled around to see Hunter grabbing at Roman's foot pulling him out of the ring.
Roman looked as shocked as she did when he turned to face the man, only to get a boot to the gut. Angel's cringed as Hunter set up for a Pedigree. Here came the beatdown…
However, before Hunter could hit the move, a noise came beside her which sounded like someone running across the table. And due to the black blur that flew past her she realized that it was Seth who leaped on top of both Roman and Hunter, stopping the move.
As Seth attacked Hunter, Angel heard the bell for the match to end ring out loud. Angel's heart dropped but she couldn't focus on the looming chaos and mayhem that was about to take over the whole arena, she had more important things to do.
She pushed herself away from the table and walked up to Roman who was still leaning against the barricade from when Seth jumped onto him and Hunter.
"Hey, Big Guy." She placed a hand on his shoulder. "How are we doing?"
"Doing alright." He said rubbing the shoulder that he plowed into the steel pole. "Sore…" He stopped in mid-thought as he quickly threw his arm out and pushed her back a few steps right as Hunter came crashing into the steel steps.
All of a sudden, all three men of the Shield were standing in front of her staring down at their boss with vicious glares.
"Get 'em in the ring!" Dean screamed as he pointed into the ring.
Seth manhandled Hunter into the ring as Dean and Roman followed, all while Angel watched in shock from the outside as all three of them were standing over the three laid out members of Evolution.
As yet another brawl in the ring started. Something from the top of the ramp caught her attention. Stephanie had come out and was looking about as angry as the men in the ring. "GO!" She screamed as suddenly as the male locker room emptied.
Almost as if she was living a horrible flash back, Angel stood there stuck in her spot as she watched the boy try and meet the rest of the locker room head on. It was the same group of men. The same exact men who came down the last time.
She went to move when Seth and Dean were thrown out of the ring in front of her. Leaving only one man left, Roman was laying on his hands and knees in the middle of the ring while everyone around him took pot shots at him.
That was until Hunter got out, walked over the timekeepers' area and grabbed a chair. Like that everything changed suddenly as Roman was held up like a sacrifice for the man.
"Roman!" She cried. "Get out of there. Come one." Her voice cracked as she watched Hunter raise the chair high into the air.
Though before he could land the hit, Roman broke out and hit the man with a Spear. The small bit of relief that hit her was quickly washed away as everyone ganged up on him.
Not again. She shook her head. I'm not allowing this to happen again.
Her body moved before she could even realize what she was doing. The next thing she realized she was standing in the middle of the ring pulling on Axel's arm trying to get him off of Roman.
"Fuck off." He waved her away, pushing her back towards the ropes. Trying with all her might, she tired to catch herself on the ropes as she had seen Dean do many times, but her hands slipped off the top one and her body twisted and came crashing down onto the floor. She hissed as her body bounced against the floor and she went sliding into the barricade.
D.D.D.
Fuck. Dean gritted his teeth as he rubbed his jaw and watched his best friend get dog piled. "I think it's time for some equalizers." He said looking over at Seth who was already holding a metal chair.
A smirk appeared on his face as he grabbed the metal chair from behind him. Without another word, both of them jumped into the ring and hit anyone and everyone in the way. Soon no one but the two of them stood in the ring.
Still pissed off, Dean surveyed the remanding men in the ring and his eyes landed on Fandango who was laying right smack dab in the middle of the mat. After throwing the chair down on the mat, he reached down and grabbed the man, lifted him up onto his feet while tucking his head under his arm.
"This is for messing with us." He said looking right into the wide camera not caring in the slightest if that was the one that they were using at the moment. He then threw his whole body into the DDT, hitting him headfirst on the chair.
Now it was Seth's turn as the man grabbed Axel and lined him up with the chair. Smirking Dean watched as Seth kicked him in the gut before taking off to hit the ropes. This is going to be brutal. And brutal it was as Axel's head came crashing down onto the chair as Seth hit him with the curb stomp.
Proud of the handy work that they had just dealt out, Dean grabbed the chair off the mat and paced around. That's when he noticed that Heath Slater was getting up onto his feet. Dumb move.
"Looks like we've got a straggler." He said pointing the chair at the man. "You should have stayed down." He warned him as Roman leaped up into the air and hit him with a Superman Punch.
"I told you, you should have stayed down." He taunted as he threw the chair into the corner of the ring as Roman threw Slater out of the ring.
But the task wasn't done yet. There was still one left in the ring. Ryback. Poor sick fuck. He and Seth stepped backwards as Roman got into the corner of the ring and stared down Ryback.
As soon as the man was up onto his feet, Roman launched himself out of the corner and plowed right into the bigger man's midsection. The hit was so beautiful that it only fueled Dean's adrenaline move.
Yelling, he walked over so that he stood on top of the man before proudly signing him a cross in the air to tell the poor bastard that he was condemned.
As he waited for Roman to call for the Triple Power Bomb, Dean paced, name called and gritted his teeth. He didn't even know what was coming out of his mouth when he screamed at the crowd. He just knew that the fans were lapping it up.
Then came the battle cry he had been waiting for and within seconds Seth and he got Ryback up on Roman's shoulders. A moment of readjustment, the three of them used all their might to send the man straight down, the impact making all three of them bounce.
"That's what you're in for!" He screamed. "We don't have to wait until Payback! We'll gladly give it to you right now."
Their theme hit the speakers, which meant two things one. Even those backstage thought they had won tonight and two the show was coming to a close.
Knowing that the camera crew was waiting for their fist bump, Dean paced around the fount of the ring. Only to notice the small crowd of people in the very front row were calling for him.
"Dean!"
"Dean look over here."
"Dean!"
At first he thought it was just a couple of fans trying to get his attention but then he thought he heard one of them say something about Angel. Glancing over, his eyes landed on three men and a lady who were pointing to the floor. When his eyes dropped to where they were pointing, he noticed Angel sitting there resting against the barricade, looking a bit out of breath.
Cocking his head, he quickly rolled out of the ring and landed next to her. "Angel, you alright?" He asked as he gave her a check over.
She nodded her head when one of the men above her called out that Axel knocked her out of the ring. Regretting that they used the Triple Power Bomb on Ryback, he helped Angel oh so carefully up to her feet. Making sure to see an eye on her face for any winces.
However, she either was either pretty ok for falling out of the ring or she had learned to hide it better. After the two of them got into the ring, they were instantly joined by Seth and Roman who gave her a pat on the shoulder, in their own way of asking if she was fine which she answered with a smile.
"Let's give them what they want." Roman said as he was the first one to put his fist in followed by Seth.
Smirking, Dean scooped Angel up onto his shoulder before putting his own fist into the mix. "You wanted to make me humble." He shook his head. "Do I look it yet?"
"Dean." He heard Angel chuckle above him.
"What Darlin' don't like my smack talk?" He glanced up at her.
"It's not that, I just don't think you could look humble if you tried."
"Well that's true." He gripped her thighs a bit harder and giving her a wink.
"Save the flirting until later." Seth fake gaged as the lights dimmed saying that the show went off air.
After the crowd's cheers started to fade and Evolution went backstage with their tails hanging between their legs, Dean let Angel off his shoulder and four of them made their way out of the ring.
Still trying to keep some part of his hard persona up, Dean glanced down at Angel who seemed to be walking perfectly fine, but he was still worried about her. "Axel knocked you out of the ring?"
"It wasn't really on purpose." She sighed.
"What the hell were you doing in the ring?" They started up the ramp.
Angel gave a wave to a fan who had a sign that said 'Angel's the best Diva' on it. "I don't really know." She said between her teeth. "I kind of just moved."
He shook his head as he turned around on the top of the ramp where Seth and Roman were standing waiting to give the fans one last fist bump.
"What happened with Angel?" Roman asked they stared out into the crowd.
"Axel knocked her out of the ring."
"She was in the ring?" Seth questioned as they turned around and headed into the gorilla.
Dean nodded his head as he played with his apparently busted knuckle. "Apparently."
"Why the hell would you get into the ring while all that was going on?" Roman turned to look at Angel like she was nuts.
"I was trying to help." She said like it was no big deal. "I got flash backs to the last time the entire locker room ganged up on you and I didn't want a repeat."
"And you thought getting into the ring and pulling on Axel's arms was your best plan?" Seth laughed. "You really are prone to danger, aren't you?" He turned and patted Dean on his shoulder. "How many times does this make it?"
"Does this make what?" Angel asked.
"How many times have you gotten yourself into a stupid spot?"
A small blush came to her face as she pursed her lips together. "I mean…how long have I been your manager? You take that time and multiply how many enemies you have plus each match that I've been part of and I think you'll get and estimated answer."
Dean laughed as he threw his arm around her. "Alright, you little smart mouth." He pulled her into his chest. "I think if everyone is feeling up to it, drinks are in order after tonight."
"Oh yeah." Roman nodded.
"Just remember we got flights tomorrow."
"All the more reason to drink." Seth laughed.
BrookeWorm3: I'm glad that you loved the last chapter, I hope you liked this one as well. Angel's promo was so hard to write. Because I couldn't tell if it sounded normal. Like something someone would really say, so I'm glad that you liked it.
Labinnacslove: They did need that moment together and many more.
Canadice; God, if it were real life. Don't even get me started, lol. I'm glad you liked it though. It makes me really happy and keeps me motivated to keep writing. This story is the longest thing I've written. Ever.
Katara melody Cullen: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for the review like always.
Guest #1: I'm glad you liked the chapter. I know Seth isn't acting himself...
Bloody-Asphode11: Hi, this might be a little long because I'm going to try to answer all your reviews right here. I'm always in awe when people reread the story because it's very long and even I can't seem to get myself to do with, at least not without editing every chapter again because I hate my writing...lol. Moxley might come out to play. WINK. I want to write a Moxley but it's hard because I can't just watch all the episodes and ppv whenever I want to with AEW. If you saw it in the show, then the fans see it in the story. There are camera's everywhere backstage. Set up just to show the random stuff that happen behind scenes. I mean did you see Moxley vs Kenny Omega? That was very wow! I mean i loved it but not everyone feels the same.
Guest #2: I'm glad you liked the chapter. You'll just have to see about that foreshadowing. And i'm glad you liked the hot part of chapter. I try. Really I do.
