Molly sat in a chair in the waiting
room of the hospital, her usual cheery eyes lowered to the ground, as she
awaited news on Crash's condition. Crash had been ushered to the hospital
after the ambush attack on him by X-Factor. Molly sighed softly when she
thought of Crash, he had looked so horrible, so vulnerable. Molly had seen
the many sides of Crash Holly but seeing him that little and beaten up,
wasn't one that she liked, she had been so scared for his safety, she kept
wanting to hold him, hoping that she could make his pain go away, the pain
of what X-Factor did to him, what Hunter ordered X-Factor to do to him,
but Hardcore had taken Crash's limp body out of Molly's grasp and carried
him to the ambulance. On the way to the hospital in the ambulance, Molly
had felt out of place with her cousins, she felt like she was on the outside
looking in on a private moment between Crash and Hardcore then she have
seen.
"Here." Spike sat down next to Molly
and handed her a cup of coffee. "How are you?"
Molly looked up at Spike and shrugged,
taking a sip of the hot coffee. "I don't really know, I mean my cousin
is in the hospital and I ... I just don't know what to feel. I feel so
out of place with Crash and Hardcore now, it's like I don't belong in this
family anymore. In the ambulance, on the way over to the hospital, Hardcore
was holding Crash's hand and telling him that everything was going to be
okay and I felt like I was sneaking a peek on a moment that I wasn't supposed
to see. I feel like I don't even know my cousins anymore, Hardcore didn't
say one single word to me in the ambulance, he just kept holding onto Crash's
hand, looking at Crash, with this look in his eyes. And god Crash, it was
like I was watching a stranger, in the form of my cousin. Me and Crash
used to be best friends, but it's like I don't even know him anymore, he
had looked at me and all I could feel was coldness radiating from him,
like he didn't want me there, he didn't want me near him."
Spike shook his head. "I really doubt
that he didn't want you there, he's just probably not used to having you
around, I know that this is all my fault..."
Molly shook her head vigourously.
"You shush over there Spike Dudley. Don't you dare blame this on you, this
is their fault. They can't, no won't, believe that a love between a Holly
and Dudley can exist. I expected this from Hardcore, because that is how
he is, but I thought I would have gotten more from Crash. I thought I would
have gotten his loyal support, because before this, Crash had always
supported me in everything I do. I always had his support no matter
what, I always had his friendship, his love, and then he just shocked me
with all this anger in his body, how he wanted to bring me down, to destroy
me. I kept saying it doesn't hurt me, but it does, he used to be my best
friend in the world, I knew him inside and out and then one day I woke
up and didn't realize who he was, I don't who Hardcore is either. I can't
even begin to fathom who they are anymore, it's like in a matter of a month
they changed completely, changed into these men I don't understand or know."
Spike took Molly's free hand and
gave it a little squeeze, he pulled her body close to his and dropped a
sweet innocent kiss on the top of her forehead. "You tell me Crash is your
best friend, that you two know each other inside and out... maybe that's
it. Maybe Crash is growing up, realizing that things don't stay the same
forever. You know what? To renew a friendship, sometimes the two friends
got to grow apart to be brought back together."
Molly looked up at Spike and smiled.
"Did anyone ever tell you that are really smart?"
Spike grinned. "All the time."
Hardcore coughed getting Molly and
Spike's attention, he narrowed his eyes at the arm wrapped around Molly's
neck, he shook his head. "Crash is awake, come on... only if you can tear
yourself away from Spike."
"I'm coming." Molly said, pushing
herself up, she turned to Spike and opened her mouth to say something but
was cut off by Hardcore's voice.
"Anytime day Molly, unless you rather
stay here with your boyfriend then check on Crash, ahem your cousin?"
Hardcore said, rolling his eyes. He shook his head and walked back to the
hospital room.
Molly shook her head. "I'm going
to check on Crash, better go before Hardcore freaks."
Spike nodded. "Luck Molly."
Molly smiled. "Thanks, I'm going
to need it."
Molly walked into the hospital room,
she let her eyes wonder over to Hardcore who was sitting in a chair next
to Crash's hospital bed, staring at Crash. Molly then stared over at Crash,
who was sitting up in his hospital bed, rubbing his neck. "Hey guys."
Crash looked up and stared at Molly,
he remained silent for a long time, but then smiled. "Hey Mol, come in."
Hardcore watched Molly walk over
to the hospital bed, he watched them start talking, a smile on both of
their faces. Hardcore stared at Crash's face which was still cut and bruised
up, Hardcore let a glare appear on his face, he was going to make X-Factor
pay for this, especially Albert. Hardcore's eyes softened as he continued
to stare into the face of Crash, he couldn't shake the horrible feeling
that the pain Crash is in, was all his fault, if he hadn't been idiotic
and let those words slip out of his mouth then Crash would have never stomped
out of the locker-room, and if Crash had stayed in the room, they could
have survived the ambush attack more. Hardcore shook his head, either way
Crash would have been hurt, it was obvious that Hunter wanted to hurt Crash
to hurt him, because Hunter knew where Hardcore's vulnerabilities were,
and Hunter wanted to take those vulnerabilities and destroy them.
"Albert is going to die." Hardcore
hissed out, ignoring the look on his two younger cousin's faces.
[ Regal's office ]
Stephanie walked with Andrew by her
side, she smiled at him, when he gave her hand a little squeeze. "Everything
is going to be fine Andrew, watch."
Stephanie knocked on the door, and
then pushed it open a few seconds later, she flashed a smile as she walked
into the neat office. "Good day Regal."
Regal jumped up from his chair and
walked over to Stephanie. "Hello miss McMahon, how are you feeling? Better
I hope, I was devasted when I heard what those blasted Dudley Boys did
to you."
Stephanie smiled. "I'm better, thank
you. I was wondering if I could ask you a tiny little favor?"
Regal nodded. "Well of course Stephanie,
what can I do for you today?"
Stephanie sat down in a chair and
waited for Regal to sit down as well. "Well see Regal, Triple H has been
a horrible thorn in my side since I decided to end our marriage, a very
aggressive thorn in my side. And as you know Triple H has been assaulting
a lot of the WWF stars, hence what happened to Crash Holly and as a commishioner
I know you agree with me that we need to fix this little problem."
Regal nodded. "Well yes Stephanie,
but I don't understand what you are asking me."
Stephanie smiled and pushed back
her hair. "I think you know what I'm asking you Regal, I'm asking you to
set a match up, a match, a hardcore match, between Andrew and Hunter."
Regal shook his head. "Oh no miss
McMahon, I possibly can't do that."
Stephanie shook her head. "I had
an idea you might say that, nagging suspicion, so as backup I brought a
friend of mine... oh Mick, could you come in here?" Stephanie looked over
her shoulder and smiled.
Mick Foley walked through the door
and over to where Stephanie was. "Hey Steph, get the grand old commisioner
to agree to the match?"
Stephanie shook her head. "Nope,
think you can persuade him?"
Andrew stood in the background, his
arms crossed against his chest, smirking. This was just like Stephanie,
she always had something up her sleeve, Andrew watched Stephanie, god she
was so beautiful. Ever since that day in the hospital Andrew couldn't help
but realize how much he wanted Stephanie by his side ALL the time, how
he wanted to see her every night, how he wanted to wake up next to her
beautiful sleeping body every morning, how he wanted to know that they
had a house of their *own*.
Mick narrowed his eyes at Regal.
"Now now William, I think we can work something out right? Since we are
in beautiful Conneciut I might as well bring up this little contract, will
you please show our fabulous commisioner that contract?"
Stephanie nodded and pulled out a
contract from her purse. "See Regal, right here this contract, as you know,
explains how Mick Foley is allowed to make a RAW main event in Conneciut,
see right there, that is his signature and right by it is my mom, Linda
McMahon's."
Mick Foley leaned over Stephanie's
shoulder and looked at it, smiling. "Yep, so Regal this sweet little contract
should be able to persuade your mind won't it? Or shall we call Linda?"
Regal got up. "No no, don't call
Linda, Andrew can have his match."
Stephanie got up and smiled. "Well
thank you, you are such a good commisioner."
Mick smirked. "I must agree."
"We'll be going, thank you Regal."
Stephanie shook his hand and walked out of the office being followed by
Mick and Andrew. "See easy." Stephanie smiling at Andrew.
Andrew laughed. "Steph, can you be
any more sneaky?"
Mick smiled. "I think so, but maybe
not tonight."
[ Jericho's locker-room ]
"The Dudley Boys and Trish Stratus?
That is what they give us? Sure we wanted the Dudley Boys, but still! We
can crush them in a moment, especially Trish with her running around the
ring with her boobs halfway up her neck." Jericho said, while stretching.
Chyna raised her eyebrow. "The fact
that you notice that her boobs are half-way up her neck when she runs,
makes you completely demented."
Jericho rolled his eyes. "How can
I not? She's always sticking them in my face."
Chyna stared at Jericho. "Maybe you
want them there, god knows no other woman would put them there."
Jericho smirked. "You're jealous."
Chyna rolled her eyes. "Of Trish's
boobs in your face? Uh huh, I don't think so."
Benoit sighed. "Will you two shut
up? All you two ever do is the playful flirting thing and it's driving
me insane! Do it somewhere else because I am ready to commit suicide over
here if I see one more goo goo ga ga glances between you two when you think
no one is looking."
Jericho laughed. "Shut up Benoit,
there has been no goo goo glances."
Chya nodded. "Or ga ga glances either."
Benoit rolled his eyes. "You think
we could do this match?"
Jericho and Chyna nodded, and followed
Benoit out the door, Jericho glanced at Chyna but stopped when Benoit kicked
him. "What?" Jericho asked, rubbing his knee as they walked to the titantron.
[ X-Factor's locker-room ]
Kurt turned to Christian, Edge and
Rhyno. "Okay guys, you know the plan right?"
Rhyno nodded, the plan was really
simple, sometimes Kurt was really a genius. Kurt came up with the plan
to take X-Factor down for good. Kurt had come up with the plan to put paranoria
into the group, it was known that X-Factor wasn't getting along as of late,
it was also known that Justin Credible wasn't happy with the way he was
being treated, so Kurt came up with the idea to talk to Justin, say that
Albert and X-Pac were saying things about him that they weren't, put the
idea in Justin's head, and then X-Factor would be no more.
Christian grinned. "Crap-Factor,
is like SO going down."
Edge nodded. "X-Sucks will never
see it happen."
Kurt put his hand up. "Sssh guys,
let's go in, I think Credible is supposed to be by himself."
"Justin..." Kurt walked into the
locker-room, and smiled. "We need to talk."
Justin got up and glared. "I am going
to kick your ass..."
Kurt brought his hands up. "Hold
on! I know you want to kick our asses, but I have something to tell you,
you should at least hear me out..."
Rhyno nodded, getting ready to do
the gore if Justin tried to do anything on Kurt. "Listen to him."
Justin put his fists down and raised
his eyebrows. "What do you need to tell me?"
Kurt sighed. "Well, we were outside
right, and we heard X-Pac and Albert talking, and it wasn't good Justin.
I mean sure we all don't like each other, but I would want to know when
someone is talking behind my back."
Justin frowned. "They were talking
about me? What did they say?"
Kurt shook his head. "They were saying
how you were the more inferior one to the group, considering how you didn't
have a belt, that you weren't as tough as them. They were saying how you're
not even needed to the group, I thought it was an awful thing to say."
Justin lowered his eyes. "They said
that?"
Kurt nodded. "Look Justin, your friends
don't appreciate you, but I do." Kurt walked closer to Justin and hugged
him. "I just thought you needed to know that, I'll be leaving now, but
if there is anything you need, Team RECK will be there for you." Kurt left
the room with Christian, Edge and Rhyno behind him with shocked looks on
their faces.
[ Benoit/Chyna/Jericho vs. Dudleys/Trish
match ]
Benoit made his way down the titantron,
but before he could get in the ring D-Von and Buh Buh Ray jumped out of
the ring and grabbed Benoit and gave him a 3D.
"Oh my god JR I can't believe
this! This match hasn't even started and Benoit might already be out of
this match! Benoit just recieved a 3D, that had to hurt!" Paul Heyman
said, watching outside of the ring carefully.
Benoit screamed out, grabbing his
neck, once he fell to the ground, Jericho came running up with Chyna as
the Dudley Boys ran back into the ring.
"Chris! Are you okay?" Jericho knelt
down and touched Benoit's arm.
Benoit closed his eyes in pain. "Go!"
Jericho shook his head. "You're hurt."
Benoit kicked at Jericho. "Damn it
Jericho! You and Chyna go up there and finish what they started! Do it!"
Jericho got pulled up by Chyna, Jericho
looked down at Benoit cautiously. "Are you sure?"
Benoit waved his free hand. "GO!"
"Chyna and Jericho are making
their way into the ring and Benoit is up! Benoit has made his way over
to the ring, but he doesn't look like he is ready to fight, Jericho is
the legal man in! Jericho starts the match off with a flying headbutt followed
by a spear! Jericho is dominating this match, ouch dropkick from the turnbuckle
and D-Von is out cold!" JR said, watching the match carefully.
Jericho went for the pin, but staggered
back when he got kicked in the back by Buh Buh Ray, Jericho turned around
just in time to get a Dudley dog.
"Ouch! Jericho almost had this
match but got a Dudley dog by Buh Buh Ray! Jericho is out cold! And what
is this? Chyna is coming into the ring, she looks concerned. D-Von is up!
And Jericho isn't! Chyna get out of there!" Paul Heyman screamed into
his headset.
Chyna tried to help Jericho up, but
dropped Jericho when D-Von grabbed Chyna from the behind and gave her a
german suplex.
Buh Buh Ray pushed the referee out
of the way, knocking him out. "D-Von..." Buh Buh Ray pushed D-Von. "Get
the tables!"
Jericho pushed himself up as he saw
Chyna being lifted in the air, Jericho looked outside of the ring and saw
Benoit passed out with medics checking on him; Jericho flew out of the
ring and pushed the table out the way right when Chyna went flying over
the ring.
"Oh man! Jericho's body has to
be in SO much pain right now! Chyna was going through that table but Jericho
flew out of the ring and pushed the table out of the way, but while he
was doing so Chyna was already thrown in the air, her body collided into
Jericho's, throwing them both down to the ground!" JR said loudly.
Paul opened his mouth to reply but
froze when he saw Albert and X-Pac come out and started to beat on Jericho,
who had rolled Chyna to safety. "This is unbelievable! Albert and X-Pac
are trying to ambush attack Jericho!"
JR looked behind him and saw Justin
Credible emerge from the crowd with two sledgehamers in his hands. "Here
comes Justin Credible ... oh my god! He just hit X-Pac and then Albert
in the ribs with those two sledgehammers! Justin Credible is rolling Jericho
out of the way, ouch another sledgehammer shot to X-Pac's ribs! Albert
just got a fist full of sledgehammer from Credible! Justin Credible has
just betrayed his friends!"
Paul nodded. "But look at that!
Albert kicked the sledgehammers out of Credible's hands and ouch! Credible
is out after a british bulldog!"
JR pointed behind Albert. "But
look at this a gore and then a con-chair-to takes down Albert. Team RECK
saved Credible!"
"What in the world is going on
in the WWF?" Paul asked as RAW ended, with Kurt helping Justin Credible
up, Edge seeing how Benoit was and Christian and Rhyno helping Jericho
and Chyna up.
