Notes: Again thanks to Jules for helping me with something that will be revealed in a later chapter. What would I do without your opinions?

How Could You?

Chris got to his feet and said, "What are you doing?" thinking maybe he was mistaken. Flair could have just gotten there after whoever tried to kick him. But something connected with his knee causing him to fall to the mat. He grabbed his knee and someone wrenched it away from him.

Nash yelled figure four and that's when Chris knew for sure there hadn't been a mistake as his friend applied the figure four. They were close enough to the ropes for Flair to grab the rope for added leverage. The Syxx and Konan took turns dropping down on Benoit's knee.

Nash got a mic from Randy Anderson. He went up to Mongo. "Football boy you give up?"

"No." Mongo said struggling to get the handcuff loose. He took a swing at Nash but Nash moved out of the way.

Buff took the mic and walked over to Curt. "How about you Hennig? You know we'll snap his leg if you don't give up."

Curt actually was able to grab a hold of Buff and kicked him away.

Buff went up to where Benoit was laying in agony. "What do you say Crippler? We'll cripple you if you don't give up." It took everything in Benoit not to pass out from the pain so he didn't say anything. Ric was still holding onto the rope.

Randy Anderson had enough and tried to get Flair to let go of the leg lock and was thrown into the side of the cage for his effort. He heard someone run into the cage. Flair removed the Figure Four leg lock. Benoit tried to protect his knee from any more abuse and he saw who had run into the ring.

Arn Anderson had seen what was going on from the back and couldn't believe what he had seen. When they threw Randy into the cage it was the last straw. If anything maybe he could ask his best friend what made him do what he had done.

He was glad that his presence made Flair let go of the leg lock. He hit all the NWO members with a chair and then stood face to face with his best friend.

"I'm so sorry Arn." Ric said.

Arn was taken aback by that. He was about to say okay when Flair kicked him in the stomach.

"No!" Came many voices from the fans, commentators, refs, Hennig and Mongo as Flair DDT'd Arn.

Chris dragged himself over to Arn and lay on him in hopes of keeping him from being hurt more. Someone started kicking away at his knee but he refused to move even though the pain was bad. Nash finally picked him up and power bombed him.

Syxx took the mic over to Mongo as Nash set up to do the power bomb on Arn. Mongo knew that Arn's neck couldn't take it and yelled, "I quit!"

The bell started to ring.

Nash let Arn go. The NWO celebrated outside of the cage leaving the beaten and broken former Horsemen in the ring.
