Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to the WWE. The wrestlers own themselves. The only thing that I own is the characters and story lines that come out of my mind. PLEASE don't sue me, I am a POOR college student and you wouldn't get anything.
Author's Note: This is the sequel to "Disturbing Memories". Even though I have included the Brand Extension I have made the following changes:
1-The European, Hardcore, and Intercontinental titles are still around. William Regal is the European champion, Jeff Hardy is the Hardcore champion, and Kane is the IC champion.
2- The Hardy Boyz decided to separate and go on different shows.
3- Lita never got injured
4- The Raw Heavyweight and Tag Team titles never came into existence.
That's all the changes that I can think of for now (well the most important changes anyway). Oh, one more thing, although Edge is on Smackdown his girlfriend Kiyomi is on RAW. I hope you enjoy!!!
The Past Affects the Present Ch. 1- SummerSlam
SummerSlam- end move of the third match- Molly Holly vs. Kiyomi for Women's title.
"Molly with a brain buster to Kiyomi. King, did you see how she landed? Right on her head. There's the pin, Molly retains her title," JR said in his usual Boomer Sooner tone (I'm sure you all know what tone I'm talking about). Kiyomi slowly stood up and realized that she lost. She then grabbed Molly Holly and gave her a swift kick to the head. Kiyomi the got out of the ring and made her way up the ramp when she looked up at the TitanTron and saw Molly lying in the middle of the ring. An idea popped in her head and she turned around and headed back to the ring. She had a smile on her face that she could have only learned from Edge. When she got to the ring she climbed up to the top rope and was about to give Molly a Kamikaze (a move where she starts off in the beginning position for a moonsault but turns midair into a Swanton bomb). Suddenly she falls off of the top rope and lays on the ring mat motionless. King, sensing that something was wrong, made his way to the ring. He checked on her and the motioned to the back for the EMT's to come.
****Backstage****
Edge was in his dressing room stretching for his match against Eddie Guerrero, which was next. "Damn she lost, I know how much she wanted her title back," Edge thought to himself as he finished stretching and went to grab his sunglasses and black leather coat. He opened to door and quickly glanced back to the TV. "Holy shit," Edge said as he dropped his jacket and ran down to the ring. As he was running thoughts crossed his mind at the speed of light, "What happened? I hope she's ok. What if she's not? What if she's seriously injured?" when he reached the top of the ramp he almost ran into Jeff Hardy. They glanced at each other and made their way down to the ring. When Edge got into the ring he got his first good glance of Kiyomi, which made him stop dead in his tracks. Amid the movement of the EMT's, Jeff, and Jerry "The King" Lawler there was Kiyomi laying motionless in the middle. He came out of the daze he was in and rushed to his girlfriend's side, making sure that he gave the EMT's enough room to work. Kiyomi's neck was placed a neck brace and then she was loaded onto a stretcher. There was complete silence as the went up the ramp, Jerry went up first to sit back at the commentary table nest to J.R., then came the EMT's rolling Kiyomi up the ramp with Edge and Jeff on either side.
"I hope she's ok," Jeff said breaking the silence and trying to relieve the tension. Edge was about to say something when he heard a faint moan. He looked at Kiyomi and saw her starting to open her eyes.
"Babe, you ok?" Edge asked the concern evident on his face and in his voice.
"E-Edge, what happened?" Kiyomi asked weakly.
"You were give Molly a Kamikaze when you grabbed your neck and fell from the top rope," Jeff said giving Edge a worried glance.
"Are you in any pain?" one of the EMT's asked as he checked her pulse.
"No, I can't feel anyth…" she stopped and her eyes grew wide with panic, "I can't feel anything below my chin," she said as panic seeped into her voice. Edge was stunned, he hoped that this was some bad nightmare and that he would wake up with the sleeping form of his girlfriend at his side. But it wasn't, his girlfriend couldn't feel anything below her chin. He couldn't believe this was happening. He was about to get on the ambulance when a stagehand ran up and tapped Edge on the shoulder.
"What?" Edge growled at the stagehand. He wasn't really angry at him, he was just worried about his girlfriend.
"Your match with Eddie is up next," the nervous stagehand said, he really didn't want to be the one to tell Edge but since he was the newest employee he had no seniority. He also had heard about Edge's rage from the other stagehands. He thought that they were only yanking his chain but now he saw that rage in Edge's eyes, he knew the other stagehands weren't joking.
"I forfeit, there's no way that I can wrestle tonight," Edge said as he continued to go into the ambulance, but stopped when he heard Kiyomi's faint voice.
"Edge don't worry about me. Go wrestle," Kiyomi said before she passed out again.
"Edge, I'll go with her to the hospital. Fight Eddie and come to the hospital when you are done kicking his ass," Jeff said as Edge just stood there and looked at Kiyomi. Then he glanced at Jeff and then his eyes went back to his girlfriend's face.
"You'll watch over her until I get there?" Edge asked his gaze still on Kiyomi. He glanced at Jeff who just nodded his head. Edge then turned and followed the stagehand who handed Edge his sunglasses and jacket. As they passed a monitor Edge noticed that Eddie was already in the ring, but he didn't notice the mic that Eddie had in his hand.
"Before Edge comes out I just wanted to tell you something. Edge, mano, I'm sorry about what happened to your girlfriend, holmes," Edge said as the crowd stopped booing him.
"See King, now that's sportsmanship. Eddie hates Edge with a passion but he has a heart and he feels bad for what happened to Edge's girlfriend," J.R. said to the King. J.R. was about to say something else but was interrupted by Eddie.
"Yeah, I'm sorry alright, sorry she didn't break her neck," Eddie said as the crowd started to boo him again. But they not only booed him this time, they were also calling him an asshole. Eddie was about to say something else when the opening words of Edge's music. The fans went wild and started to strain their necks for the first sight of him. They didn't have to wait long because Edge ran down the ramp and slid into the ring before Eddie or the fans knew what was happening. Edge made short work of Eddie and after the three count he didn't stay in the ring long enough for the ref to raise his hand in victory. He raced to his locker room and changed in under a minute. Then he raced to his rental car and was about to get in when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Edge, do you really think that you are in the right state of mind to drive," the owner of the hand, Matt Hardy, said.
"Aren't you worried that a camera will see you talking to me. Don't you have to keep up your 'Mattitude'?" Edge asked (A/N Matt already had his Mattitude in my story).
"There are no cameras around and besides even if there were I don't care. Kiyomi's my friend also. So, I am going to drive to the hospital and you are coming along with me," Matt said as he took Edge's keys and opened to driver's side door as Edge made his way around the car and entered to passenger's side. When they got to the hospital they immediately were directed to the waiting room where they found Jeff.
"How is she?" Edge asked as soon as he saw Jeff.
"She's undergoing tests right now. How did you get here so fast?" Jeff asked as he made some room on the couch that he was sitting on so Edge and Matt could sit down. Matt did but Edge continued to stand, only now he started to pace.
"So how badly did Edge lose?" Jeff asked his brother quietly so Edge couldn't hear. Jeff knew that given Edge's state of mind that there was no way that he could win.
"Actually you should be asking how badly did Edge beat up Eddie," Matt told his brother who gave Matt a quizzical look. Matt looked towards Edge who didn't seem to be paying them any attention. Matt then proceeded to tell his brother about what Eddie said and what happened in the match.
"He got what if deserved," Jeff said when his brother was finished.
"No, he didn't. I didn't beat him enough, he was still conscious when I left. Well barely," Edge said as he sat down. They waited in silence for around half an hour before Edge stood back up again. "How long do these tests take?" a frustrated Edge said.
"Well we need to rule out all possibilities," the doctor said as he walked into the waiting room.
"How is she doctor?" Edge asked as he, Matt, and Jeff walked up to the doctor.
"Well there's good news and bad news. The good news is that she didn't break her neck," the doctor said but was immediately cut off by Edge.
"What's the bad news?" Edge asked but he had a feeling that he didn't really want to hear it.
"The bad news is that she's paralyzed," the doctor said, Edge opened his mouth to say something but was immediately interrupted by the doctor. "There's some other good news that I think you should hear. The paralysis is temporary," the doctor said and then she smiled a little at the sight of the three men all breathe a sigh of relief at around the same time. "Judging by how much damage was done I suspect that she suffered from a very severe stinger. She will completely recover by tomorrow. But she only has to stay in the hospital for a couple of hours, until I feel that she has recovered enough for her to be released," the doctor said as she turned to go back to Kiyomi's room. "Oh, and by the way, you can go in and see her now," the doctor said as she led the trio to her room.
"Babe, how are you? You had us all worried there for a minute," Edge said as he entered Kiyomi's room and sat next to his girlfriend. The doctor said that she would be back in about two hours to check on her. So for the next two hours they sat and talked while Kiyomi started to get limited movement back in her body. When the doctor came back she said that Kiyomi was being released. Instead of going to the car in a wheelchair, Edge picked Kiyomi up and carried her to the car.
"I think that I should get hurt more often if it means getting the royal treatment," Kiyomi said as Edge handed her to Jeff so he could open up the door. When they were all in the car they went to the hotel and dropped off Edge, Jeff, and Kiyomi (Matt went back to the arena to get their stuff). After he came back they were getting ready to go to sleep (Edge and Kiyomi usually shared a room for the pay per views while Jeff usually got a room right next door, and Matt tried to get a room on the same floor), Kiyomi was already asleep and Jeff and Matt were about to go to their rooms when there was a knock on the door. Since Matt was the closest to the door, he answered it.
"I got here as fast as I could. How is she?" Lita asked as she entered the room and put her bags down. Lita had a photo shoot in Miami, Florida, she was supposed to be there until Thursday.
"She fine, no either keep or voice down or leave," Edge said as he looked at Lita from where he was sitting. Well actually he was laying on the bed next to the sleeping form of Kiyomi. Lita saw this and immediately apologized.
"Sorry, what was wrong with her anyway?" Lita asked as she looked from Edge to Kiyomi.
"She suffered from a very severe stinger," Jeff quietly said as he looked at his red-headed friend who was still asleep (A/N Kiyomi decided to dye her hair red the week before SummerSlam). He was so relieved when he heard that she was going to be ok, that there was no permanent damage. The last time he felt that relieved was when they rescued her from Christian, who had kidnapped her the year before. He then glanced at his brother who had made his way over to Lita, his girlfriend, and was giving her a hug. He sighed, he sometimes felt out of place and left out of his group of friends because he was the only single one. Sure he had a few relationships here and there, nut nothing long-term or serious.
"Well, I think we should all get some sleep, we all have a plane to catch early tomorrow morning. Lita, why don't you stay in my room since you really aren't supposed to be here," Matt said as he grabbed Lita's bag and headed down the hallway. They all said the goodnights and went to their rooms to get a good nights sleep.
