True Colors
Aurora threw Sara through one of the locker room doors and onto the glass coffee table, which collapsed under the strain. Terri Runnels was inside hiding and screamed when the two of them broke in. Aurora just walked over to her and grabbed her by the throat. Sara coughed and pulled a large shard of glass from her side. Standing slowly she turned to face Aurora and Terri. Aurora was slowly strangling Terri. Sara rushed Aurora and stabbed her in the back with the shard of glass as her eyes flashed blue and then backed away. Aurora just paused in her actions, as if thinking. Terri could see a frown form on her face. Sara moved forward to continue her assault, but Aurora just backhanded her across the mouth with her free hand. Sara spun about and fell to her knees. Aurora just turned back to Terri. Her eyes flashed green and in one swift motion she twisted Terri's head 180 degrees and ripped it clean off. Sara looked up at Aurora in time to get bludgeoned in the face by Terri's severed head.
Tajiri ran down the aisle at Damian. Damian hurled two more beams of the green light at him. Tajiri just leapt into the air and kicked them both with a double spin kick. The kick sent one hurtling back at Damian and the other at Amano. Damian's eyes widened a brief instant before the bolt hit him and sent him over the railing and into the first row. The other bolt struck Amano and sent him spinning from the ring apron. Mark took the opening to spin about and deliver a solid punch to Meathook's face. Meathook staggered far back from the impact and looked at Mark. Mark's eyes rolled back and his body began to glow with green fire. Meathook rushed forward and swung the barbed wire bat at Mark's head. Mark put up his arm and allowed the bat to break over his arm. Then with his other arm he grabbed Meathook about the throat and lifted him into the air. Meathook twitched in his grip. "From Hell you came, and to Hell you return," Mark said as Meathook burst into flames. He yelled out in pain as his flesh melted away within seconds. He went limp and Mark choke-slammed his smoldering body. As soon as he contacted with the mat his body exploded into thousands of fiery pieces. Then he turned to see about Damian.
Sara was barely conscious and bleeding profusely. Aurora grabbed her by her hair and the back of her shirt to get her to stand. She turned Sara around and punched her solidly in the face. The force of the blow would have knocked her to the ground, but Aurora held her hair fast so that she wouldn't go anywhere. Sara's eyes flashed blue and without warning she punched Aurora directly in the abdomen. Aurora's grip on Sara's hair loosened and Sara pulled herself free. Aurora came back with a punch, but Sara blocked this time and retaliated with a right cross that caught Aurora off guard. Aurora stumbled backwards over the body of Terri and fell to the ground.
Mark grabbed Damian, hefted him over the railing, and slammed him onto the arena floor. Damian gave off a short painful laugh. Mark picked him up again, but was met with Damian's open palm thrust to the nose. Mark grabbed his bloody nose and backed away. Damian stood casually and brushed himself off. "I was waiting for you to finally show me what you were capable of," he said to Mark. "I was beginning to think the Angel had you too whipped to fight back. Glad I was wrong."
"You'll find you're wrong about a lot of things," Mark said wiping his nose and putting his guard up.
"Too bad about Kane," Damian said casually. "I had a lot invested in him. And it will take a long while before Meathook will be able to get back into action. But oh well. You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs."
Tajiri ran down the aisle and around the other side of the ring. Amano was just standing up holding his chest when Tajiri leapt at him and connected with a vicious chop to Amano's chest. Amano staggered back and got into a fighting stance while Tajiri did the same.
A cruel sneer crossed Amano's lips. "(When did you get the power?)" he asked Tajiri.
"(Always had it,)" Tajiri replied.
"(You realize I'm going to have to kill you now,)" said Amano.
"(You're welcome to try,)" retorted Tajiri as his eyes flashed blue.
Amano came forward and struck Tajiri across the face while Tajiri kicked Amano in the side. Amano uppercutted Tajiri in the jaw and Tajiri did a backward somersault, kicking Amano in the mouth as he did. Amano staggered back and almost collided with Mark. Mark looked at Amano for a split second and was punched in the face by Damian. Mark backed into Amano and sent him forward into a kick to the face from Tajiri. Amano fell right to the ground. Damian then grabbed Mark by the shirt and threw him into the railing.
"Why do you keep resisting me?" asked Damian. "Why do you deny what you are? Is it for the love of the Angel?"
"You guessed right, for once," Mark said and came back at Damian with a punch to the face.
Aurora did a jumping spin kick to Sara's face and sent her crashing through a window. Both of them were cut and bleeding now. Sara stood slowly and blocked another kick from Aurora and swept her other foot out from under her. Aurora's back landed on all the shards of broken glass. Sara dragged her along the floor by her foot as Aurora tried to stand. Her eyes flashed green as she got to her feet and did a reverse kick to Sara's face with her free foot. Sara let go and staggered into the wall. She was amazed at how quickly Aurora kept recovering her strength. Blindly, she lashed out at Aurora with a clothesline and once again knocked her down into the glass.
Tajiri and Amano moved in a blur of motion. Each was striking and blocking at a furiously dizzy pace. Then Amano simply grabbed Tajiri about the larynx with his thumb and first two fingers. Tajiri thrashed violently as his air supply was squeezed off. Amano smiled at seeing his foe's peril and his eyes flashed green. "(Time to die!)" Amano hissed in his face. Tajiri scowled at him defiantly. Then his eyes flashed blue and he spit the red mist into Amano's face. Amano let go in an instant and retreated holding his eyes. Tajiri dropped to his knees gasping for breath.
Damian threw Mark over the railing and into Vince's lap. Then he went for a right cross, but Mark rolled onto the floor just in time and Damian's fist connected with Vince's face, knocking the dead owner of the WWF over backwards in his chair and onto the pavement with a wet thud. Damian looked down at Mark just in time to see Mark's eyes flash green. Mark swung upwards with an axehandle and caught Damian in the chin. Damian was sent flying back over the railing and to the floor. Damian rubbed his chin and looked as Mark climbed over the railing to get at Damian. "You're beginning to learn," Damian said with a grin. Mark grabbed Damian by the shirt, but before he could do anything Damian kicked him solidly in the groin and followed up with a vicious left-handed uppercut to Mark's face. Mark went down flat on his back. Damian kicked him twice in the ribs in rapid succession. "I honestly don't know why you're waiting to kick my ass."
Damian sat on top of Mark's chest and began pummeling his face. "Personally, I don't have the patience to wait the way you do," he said as he continued to beat Mark in the face. "That's why I've moved so fast to get at you. I could have dragged this torture out for weeks, perhaps months. Call it a weakness of mine."
"You wanna hear another weakness of yours?" Mark asked, his face very bloody.
"What would that be?" asked Damian.
"You talk too much!" Mark said and grabbed Damian around the throat. Then he stood up with Damian still in his grasp. He lifted Damian into the air and stared at him in the face.
Aurora swept Sara's legs out from under her as she approached and then jumped to her feet. Sara kicked at her as she came over, but Aurora blocked her and grabbed her by the hair and the front of her shirt. With a yank she brought Sara to her feet. Then Aurora punched Sara in the face again and Sara fell right down again. Aurora grabbed her again by the shirt and the hair and yanked her to her feet. This time she ripped out some of Sara's wavy blonde hair as she did. She also ripped the front of Sara's shirt wide open with the force of her pull. Sara knew she was finished, it was only a matter of time. Another punch in the face and a knee to her pubic bone sent her down again in a crumpled heap.
Tajiri recovered first and kicked Amano in the side of the head with all his strength. Amano sat there unflinching. Tajiri kicked him again and still Amano didn't move. A third stiff kick from Tajiri to the side of Amano's head finally sent him down.
Mark's hand began to glow like it did earlier, but before he could capitalize Damian punched him in both kidneys to make him let go. He then went for his open palm thrust to Mark's face again, but Mark blocked it and hefted Damian into the air above his head. His eyes flashed green and he press threw Damian into the ring.
Amano was dazed and seeing stars. He shook his head and started to stand up when Tajiri dropped a knee into his throat and pinned him to the floor. Amano choked and gasped for breath, but Tajiri held him fast. "(This is for her!)" he said and drove his knee in deeper. Amano's face was beginning to get red from lack of air. His eyes glowed green and he reached up and grabbed Tajiri's throat.
"(We die together!)" he cursed at Tajiri as his hand began to glow brightly with a burning fire.
"(Not today,)" replied Tajiri. With that he shifted his weight and dropped his knee down further. Then he twisted his body and a sick crack was heard as Tajiri broke Amano's neck. Tajiri let out a sigh of relief and fell back against the railing and off of Amano. He watched as Amano's body burst into green flames and turned to ash.
Aurora picked Sara up into a sitting position. Then she grabbed a fistful of Sara's hair and forced her to look her in the face. "Mark belongs with us in Hell!" she hissed in Sara's face. Her eyes glowed bright green as she looked at Sara. "And there is nothing that you can do to stop us!" Then she put one hand on Sara's chin and the other on the back of her head. Before Sara could breathe one last breath, Aurora snapped her neck and shoved her to the ground, dead.
