Disclaimer: Once again, I only own Adriana, Cori and XA/N.

A/N: Not much to say right now. I'm going to try and update as much as I possibly can over Christmas break, and I mean that. Did anybody else besides me see Confidential last week? If you didn't, you missed out on the funniest Y2J thing I've ever seen. Fozzy has made a music video for their song "With the Fire". For those of you who live in a cardboard box, Fozzy has had a new CD out for a couple of months now, and they have 4 original tracks, as well as 7 covers. The song that they have made the video for is one of their original tracks. "Mean" Gene Okerland (Host of Confidential) said that a World Premiere of the video should be airing soon. No dates were given, but all of you who haven't seen it and like Fozzy, will get a kick out of it!!

XA/N: Water from the huge tank was draining, the gator was getting ready for his dinner......

"Shit!" Jericho yelled. All members of the group were scrambling to try and get out of the water. So far, no one was succeeding.

"Find a ledge!" Rockie yelled.

"We're screwed!!" Edge yelled. Rock pointed a finger at him.

"Shut your mouth." Rock said. The gator was still swimming around, trying to decide whom he wanted to eat first. The water drained a little further and an opening could be seen.

"Head for the opening!!" Kazza yelled. Edge, Rock, Rockie, and Blazer were closest to the opening, so they got into it first. It was a small tunnel/ventilation shaft, so they had to go in one at a time.

JB, Shawn and Chris were trying to make their way to the opening, but since Shawn was bleeding, the gator was after the weak. Jericho was looking for a way around the gator, but the damn thing took up almost half of the tank. JB was getting pretty ticked off at the whole situation, and Shawn was just trying to stay afloat. Chris made up his mind on which way he was going to go, but he would only be able to take one other person with him.

"Ok, I've got an idea, but we have to hurry." Jericho said. JB and Shawn turned to face him. "We can swim UNDER the gator, but only one other person would make it. The one left behind would serve as a diversion."

JB looked at Shawn and she knew what he was going to do.

He wanted to be the one to stay behind.

"No, Shawn. Don't even think about staying."

"I'm staying whether you like it or not, JB. I'm the weak piece of meat that he wants. GO!!" He yelled.

"Hurry up, or you won't be able to make it!!" Kazza yelled from the shaft. The others seconded that opinion.

"Let's go, JB." Chris said. JB looked at Shawn with pleading eyes, but he didn't look back at her; his eyes were focused on the gator. JB took Chris' hand and they went under.

They swam blindly forward, because neither had the ability to open their eyes under water. Shawn watched them go, and only hoped that Jericho's plan would work.

A few seconds later, Jericho and JB surfaced not far from the opening. The water was still draining, making it harder to grab the edge of the shaft. Rockie and Rock, the two closest to the edge, reached down to pull them out. Chris and JB got into the shaft and looked over where the gator was. Shawn could be seen, ready to try and fight him off. JB took one last glance over, then turned to find a way out of the shaft.

They all walked a little ways down the tunnel and a scream could be heard.

The scream of a dying man meeting his doom.

JB stopped and broke into tears.

To be continued........

After RAW went off, Shawn made his way to his locker room. The "satellite feed" had only come from backstage. He opened the door and walked in, only to be met by four faces. Those of Adriana, Cori, RVD, and Cameron.

"Where's Chris?" Shawn asked. Adriana, Cori, and RVD shrugged. No one had seen him, since the confrontation of Hunter.

"Why are we all sitting here, then?" Shawn asked them.

"We wanted to wait for you, so that you would know what happened." Cori said.

"Let's go find him, then." Shawn said, then he picked up Cameron and they started to walk up and down the halls.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the building, in Hunter's locker room, Chris Jericho was waiting for Hunter, and he had a little friend with him.

A sledgehammer.

Chris sat on the sofa and waited for Hunter to get back. He knew it was only a matter of time before he came to his locker room. He began to think about the events that had happened in the past few days. Shawn had really had a lot happen to him. Hunter had murdered Rebecca, and attacked Shawn in the parking lot. Chris couldn't help but know how angry he must be right now.

Then there were his confused emotions. Chris felt a pang at his heart when he thought of Adriana. He knew that he shouldn't, but he couldn't help but still feel in love with her. He knew that Cori would despise Adriana for the rest of her life for not being there when she needed her. He could still taste the way Adriana's lips had felt against his. It had been 14 years since they had last saw each other, and he thought that he had put all of his emotions concerning her behind him.

All Chris wanted to do right now, though, was rip Hunter a new asshole.

Rage was building up inside him from all of the times that Hunter had done something to him, and the one time that Chris had witnessed Hunter do something to Adriana that would haunt his dreams and beg for his retaliation......

*Chris walked up the front steps of the dark house. He knew that he wasn't ever supposed to come within 40 feet of this house again, but he felt like he needed to see her. Adriana was always on his mind, and Cori was the only piece of her he still had in his life. He didn't want to ring the doorbell or knock, so he snuck around to the window.

Carefully, Chris peered into the dark room of the house. He knew that this was her room. Although he had only been in her house one time, he remembered the layout of it well. Right as he caught sight of the figure in the bed, the light flicked on. Chris ducked his head down quickly, to avoid being caught, but his curiosity got the best of him.

Chris once again peeked into the window and saw Adriana's huge brother, Hunter standing over her bed. Chris wondered what this was all about.

"Wake up, bitch." Hunter said. Adriana snapped her eyes open and looked at the menacing figure standing above her. Fear was sprawled all over her face at the recognition of her brother. Hunter locked his hands around her neck.

"Who did you sleep with, Adriana?" He yelled at her. She was already gasping for air and hitting his massive arms to release her.

"N-n..o-o...H-h..un...ter.." she gasped. Even at Chris' outside position, he could hear every word of the conversation. Headlights appeared in the driveway. Chris was on the side of the house, and he had walked to her house, so he was not in any danger. Hunter immediately stood up, and let go, then walked out of the room to meet his parents at the door. Adriana gulped in the air around her gratefully and rolled over to face the window. She noticed a strand or two of blond hair, and a curious blue eye in the corner of the window. Adriana stumbled to the window and opened it.

"You're going to get killed!" She whispered hoarsely. Chris smiled at her and stroked her face.

"I had to see you." He said softly. Then his expression turned serious. "You need to get out of here, Ady. Hunter is willing to kill you to get to me. You need to run away."

"With you? They'd find me in a heartbeat, Chris." Chris lowered his head. He knew she would never step foot in his apartment again, and he had slowly come to terms about it.

"I know not with me, but you just need to get away from here. Go to Hollywood, become a star like you always dreamed. I can give you a ride to the airport, at least." He offered. She looked at him, then made up her mind. She ran around her room, throwing things into her duffel bag, and then climbed out the window. The two of them then ran through the darkness to Chris' apartment.

"I'll never forget you Adriana Helmsly." Chris said, taking her hand and kissing it, before she left to get on the plane.

"I won't forget you either, Chris Irvine." She said, and they hugged. Chris whispered in her ear, before they pulled away.

"Hunter's going to pay for what he did to you tonight. Not today or tomorrow, but someday soon." He vowed to her. Then she broke the embrace and walked onto the plane, leaving Chris alone again.

*

Chris gritted his teeth as he thought of the revenge that he was going dish out to Hunter. As if on a cue, Hunter then walked through the door, but by this time, Chris had positioned himself behind the door. When Hunter closed the door, he saw Chris. Chris smiled.

"Say hello to your friend and mine, Hunter." He said. Hunter looked at him.

"What the hell are you doing in-" Hunter said, but was abruptly cut off, by Chris hitting him in the head with the sledgehammer. It didn't knock him out, but it shut him up.

"Now, Hunter, I was trying to introduce you to someone, and you don't want to meet him? That's just plain rude!" Chris said, then smiled a very evil smile. "He goes by the name of the SLEDGEHAMMER, and I'm sure he's somebody that you are well acquainted with." He said, then buried the sledgehammer into Hunter's gut a few times. "He doesn't take too well to being used, Hunter. You should be nicer to your friends...and your SISTER!!!" Chris yelled. Hunter looked at Chris in disbelief.

"You?!?!" He said in shock. Chris smile only grew wider.

"Yeah, Hunter, it was me whom your sister slept with. How's that grab ya?" He asked, and then buried the sledgehammer into Hunter's lower abdomen. "Hurts, doesn't it? You shouldn't hurt those around you Hunter, because sooner or later, your going to receive the beating of a lifetime over the crimes, you've committed. I can guarantee that this beating is going to be nothing compared to what Shawn is going to throw at you." Chris finished.

Hunter had beaten Chris numerous times in the ring, and had seen the fire in his eyes when he was angry. Why did this fire bother him so much now? Hunter hated to admit it, but Chris had scared the hell out of him.

"Chris!! Let him go!!" Shawn screamed, walking into the room. He set Cameron down, and hurried over to the center of the room, where Chris was in a rage of anger. Shawn almost laughed when he saw the looked on Hunter's face, but he didn't when he saw that Chris was seriously causing some damage.

"Chris!!!!!!" He yelled again. Chris didn't stop or even break his rhythm. It was almost like he couldn't stop.

"Dad?" Cori asked as she walked into the room. Chris didn't acknowledge her either. Shawn then worked to get him off of Hunter, and Cori tried to help. When Chris felt someone behind him, he stopped and whirled around to beat the officials he almost knew were going to be behind him. Instead he was met with Shawn and his daughter.

Cori almost recoiled with fear at the look of fury that was etched into her father's normally relaxed features. His face was twisted into an expression that was literally indescribable. Shawn noticed that Cori had stepped back, so he stepped in.

"Chris, knock it off, she's your daughter. Just calm down, you've done enough." Shawn said, holding onto Chris' arms. Chris seemed to hear him this time and his eyes returned to their normal state, instead of a fire blazing. His face muscles relaxed and he stepped forwards to talk to his daughter. Cori looked at him with a confused look in her eyes. Before Chris could begin to explain, Vince stormed in.

"I want you in my office now, Chris!!!!" He yelled. "Bring Hunter and Shawn with you!" He finished, then stormed out. Chris looked at his daughter apologetically, then quietly walked out of the room, covered in Hunter's blood that he had spilled.
