RAW………….. 12/30/02.……….. Beginning of the Year of Darkness……..
RAW… 12/30/02.……… The Arena 2 hours before show time………
Chris Jericho is walking down the hall when all of a sudden he gets a splitting headache. As he is rubbing his temples, trying to get rid of the headache, he looks up and see a young, teenage girl come running down the hall. When she got to where Chris was standing, he was not at all surprised when the girl ran right through him. After watching her for a moment, he turned and saw another figure coming up the hall. It was following the girl. It to walked right through Chris. After a few minutes the vision passed, and so did Chris's headache.
Chris shook his head and muttered to him self, "I need to make sure I am in this hallway later, to save that girl." Chris then walked away down the hall.
Beginning of the show……….
The Beginning of RAW started with a bang. Then the N.W.O music started, and out walked, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, and Scott Steiner, made their way to the ring. When they got there they stood posing for a few minutes as the music played.
Triple H then was handed a mic and he said, "Cut the music and lets get down to business." At this the music stop and all that could be heard is the crowd booing the N.W.O. He then spoke again, "Alright. I personal went to Bischoff and asked for a match tonight. A 8-man tag match between the N.W.O vs. The Darkside."
With this announcement the crowd went wild. Just then the lights go off, and the RAWatron turned on, showing a scene in the back. Standing in front of the camera is none other then Highlander. He then spoke. You know what Triple H, you want a match you got one." Then the screen went off and the pyros went off.
Shortly…………..Somewhere backstage………
Chris is standing in the same hallway, that he was in earlier. He only had to wait a few minutes when a very frightened fan girl ran down the hall. Then the vampire came down the hall. When it did it noticed Chris standing there. The vamp snarled and attacked. Chris fought back and used the stake that he was holding. Dusting the vamp. Chris turned and walked over to the teenager, who had fallen on her rump further up the hall. As he reached her and reached down to help her up, she said, "I can't believe that I am glad that Jericho saved my life."
Jericho looked very confused and asked, "Who are you?"
She stood up and brushed herself off. She then began to say, "My name is Az……." She stopped in shock, as both her and Jericho watched four figures walked by them.
One of the figures turned to them and said, "You never saw us." Both Jericho and the girl nodded.
Moments later……… N.W.O. Locker room…….
Scott stood at the door and said to the others in the room, "I'll be back in a few minutes." He heard their replies as he turned and walked out of the room. He did not get far when he was hit from behind. Then four figures started to beat Scott down. They then left.
Triple H, and the others heard a commotion in the hall and went to check it out. What they saw was Scott Steiner out cold on the floor.
Later…. Shortly before the main event……..
Shawn Michaels was making his way alone to the gorilla position, when all of a sudden he was accosted by four mysterious figures. Shawn was left out cold on the floor.
Main Event…….. N.W.O. vs. The Darkside………
Before the match started J.R. said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the main event has been changed to a tag team match, between Triple H, and Kevin Nash, vs. Highlander, and The Hurricane. Because we have received word that Steiner, Michaels, And both Hardyz were attacked."
Then all of the lights went off and after a moment the pyros went off, and the song, One Winged Angel, began to play. Out walked Highlander and the Hurricane. They then made their way to the ring.
Then the N.W.O. music started to play. Out walked Triple H, and Kevin Nash. They also made their way to the ring. The match started and it went both ways.
Half way through the match, music that the fans thought never to hear I a WWE arena again, began to play. Then the four mysterious figures appeared on the stage. Everyone was shocked.
Then one figure stepped forward and said in the mic he was holding, "Hey Hunter, you thought you would forget about us. Well we have gotten exclusive contracts to Smackdown, thanks to Stephanie McMahon. But we are going to be making your lives, N.W.O, a living hell. Say hello to the Forgotten Ones." Then the four, Jeff Jarret, Scott Hall, Rick Steiner, and Bret Hart, left the stage.
While Triple H was busy watching the ramp, Highlander got behind him and quickly rolled him up for the victory.
Winners of the match………. Highlander and the Hurricane………..
As the Darkside members made their way up the ramp, they ran into the people responsible for taking out of the Hardy Boyz, no not the Forgotten Ones, but the Ministry. A fight broke out on the ramp.
New years day……….. Five minutes before sunrise……….1/1/03.…….
Hardyz home……..
Jeff, Matt Hardy, Lita, Gregory Helms, were sitting out on the lawn in front of the Hardy's home. Greg and Lita had no idea why the Hardyz had said for them to do this except that something big was going to happen.
Jeff was the first one to see the darkened sun start to rise. All four of them sat in stunned silence.
Highlander's apartment……..
Terry was standing in front of his window watching as the darkened sun rose. He looked down at the cat in his arms, and said, "You know what this means Victory, Its going to be bad news for everyone.
McMahon Home………
Vince was sitting in his office and wondering what the hell was going on. He had no explanation for way the sun had been blotted out by darkness. But he was drafting a report stating that the WWE would indeed continue all shows.
Undertaker's home………
Mark was sitting on his porch of his home watching the sun rise. His wife, Sara, and the baby were sound asleep. Mark shook his head. He did not know what had happened but he knew that magic was involved somehow. He could feel the dark energies in the very air. He knew that he must protect his family even more now then he had been doing. Because now he knew everywhere was going to be crawling with vampires as soon as they figured that the sun was gone.
He was very worried about his niece that was even now living on the one of the most dangerous places on Earth……. The Hellmouth…….
All of the WWE superstars took the darkened sun in their own way. But the main emotion was of shock.
