SPOILERS:  The entire InVasion crap up until the InVasion PPV (I give

everything's AU.

SUMMARY: What if the Alliance won the InVasion? What if they did it with some outside "help" that they didn't know about or want?

Chapter One

A few Years Later............



     Stephanie McMahon looked up from a stack of business papers and gazed out the windows of her office.  It had been close to three years since the Alliance of WCW and ECW won the battle against the WWF. Three years since - Don't think about it McMahon!  Stephanie chastised herself while staring down at where her wedding ring used to be.

     A knock on her office door broke her out of her thoughts.  She looked up to see her brother Shane standing in the doorway.

     "Hey sis, what's up?" Shane asked.

     "Nothing much, just looking over a few business papers," she answered with a fake smile and fiddling with the currently naked ring finger on her left hand.

     Shane sighed.  He knew what his baby sister was really doing.  It'd helped if Hunter really left her, if he'd served her with the divorce papers personally.  That was the strangest thing about the end of his sister's marriage.  He didn't call her, write her, or show up on Alliance TV to confront Stephanie personally.  He just had an attorney show up during a promo Steph was giving on TV and serve her with divorce papers and vanished without a trace or a word.

     He could remember the night she was served vividly.  Seeing her face that moments earlier had been flush with triumph crumple with shattered dreams.  She'd dropped Helmsley from her name that day and become colder, dressing more provocatively, some whisperings had her becoming exactly the slut Chris Jericho painted her out to be.  Several Alliance guys claiming to have had a piece of the Billion Dollar Princess.

     As for Hunter, Steph told Shane not to bother looking for her wayward ex.  She was convinced that he'd reconciled with Chyna and the former WWF Women's champ was mearly covering for Hunter so that he wouldn't have to face Steph.  However when Shane had confronted the Ninth Wonder of the World about his sister's accusations, Chyna swore up and down that she'd seen neither seen nor heard from Hunter since she'd left the WWF a few months prior to it's folding.  Steph didn't know about the meeting and although Steph would probably kill Shane if she did know, he thought Chyna was telling the truth.

     "Hey, you wanna come by NITRO tonight?" Shane asked.  When the Alliance had won after the InVasion PPV, Shane and Steph agreed to split the Alliance via the two timeslots they'd inherited from the late WWF.  They'd gotten rid of everything related to the WWF, including the name of all the TV shows and Pay per views save Heat.  Shane got the RAW timeslot and renamed it NITRO, while Stephanie got the SMACKDOWN slot and rechristened it Extreme TV. HEaT was a joint program and the only WWF name to survive the WCW/ECW victory. The competition between the two companies had for the most part been friendly.

     "Sure Shane, it'd be nice to see some of the WCW boys again," Steph replied.

     "Great, see you at seven?" Shane inquired.

     "I'll be there," Steph smiled.

     "Great, see ya then," Shane said walking out of the office.

     "Yeah, see ya," Stephanie said quietly.

     Spike Dudley walked into the NITRO lockerroom alone and silently got his gear out ready for tonight.  It had been almost three years since he'd watched Molly and Chris Jericho get tossed off that bridge to their deaths.  A lot had changed since then.  Landmarks crumbled, WWF shut down and two companies he hated reigned supreme.  So why was he in a WCW lockrroom?  Because Spike hoped that he would have the opportunity to get his revenge on Molly's killers.

     After Molly's and Jericho's deaths, he took the warnings about the remaining Holly cousins and his brothers quite seriously.  He made almost everybody believe that Molly had left him and the WWF.  The Hollys believed he'd something to do with her disappearance, which didn't upset him, since he felt responsible for her death.  He continued his estrangement from his brothers for their own safeties.

     When the WWF folded, all he wanted to do was go out and try to find the people responsible for Molly's death and pay them back in the same manner they'd inflicted his pain and agony.  But his secret searching proved for naught, as the gang of killers made themselves quite scarce and hidden.  He realized that eventually they'd return and try to destroy the Alliance in an effort to finish the job they started to do three years ago.

     And he would be waiting.

What did you all think?  Muse feeding helps Chapter Two along.
