The Approaching Storm

Okay this just popped into my head after what happened to Rock Monday night. Normally it takes a lot longer for my fic ideas to fertilize.  Also, I have Trish as Rock's girlfriend in this.  Makes sense a little later.

The Approaching Storm

Prologue

    In a darkened office building on the West coast of the United States, a middle aged man sat in his darkened office watching the West coast RAW feed with great interest.  The segment of the show that he'd anticipated the most was when the nWo violently trapped the Rock and his girlfriend Trish Stratus in the ambulance and violently destroyed it with the semi truck.  The scene in his mind when off without a hitch.  After the segment, he leaned back in his chair and awaited the phone call from his boys telling him that phase one of their brilliant plan was complete and stage two was underway.

    After the end of the West Coast edition of RAW, the black screen with the ominous white letters made the man's evil smile all the more wider:

DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON

May 2, 1972 - February 18, 2002

   "Almost perfect," the man muttered as the phone rang.

     "Part two of the job's underway," Kevin Nash's voice boomed in the man's ear.  "Everything's going along perfectly."

     "Almost perfect," Nash's boss said. "What happened with Austin?"

     "We were hoping to get to him backstage, but Angle had him arrested on Vince's orders before we could do anything, really," Nash explained.

    The man on the other end grunted, "Probably just as well, leaving Austin outta this may lessen the chances of things going wrong again like last time.  Watch your backs though. Austin's still over your interference at No Way Out and I don't think the Olympic dork having him arrested is going to detour him from trying to get a little payback on you guys.

     Nash scoffed, "We can handle a drunk redneck, no problem."

    "Don't get cocky Nash," the man scolded, "we've planned too much and come too far to start underestimating these people now.  What's Stratus' condition?" The Blonde Canadian and her relationship and obvious concern for the Rock was the one thing that hadn't been counted on and the gray - haired man wanted to know if the WWF diva poised a more serious threat to the nWo's plans.

    "From what little we've gathered, we sent her into a nice long coma with some internal injuries. Flair's got some guards and superstars watching her so we can't get close to her," Nash described the former Women's Champion's current state of health.

    "Fine, let me know if the condition of the 'People's' girlfriend changes.  Better or worse," the man emphasized that last part to Nash.

    "Got it," Nash replied. He turned to the action behind him.  "Look Hollywood's got the camera set up, so I gotta go."

    "All right, send the boys my regards and tell Hollywood I'll join you as soon as the time's right," Nash's boss said.

    All right, later," Nash said hanging up the phone.

    The man on the other end of the country hung up the phone with maniacal glee. Despite the Austin and Stratus factors everything was going rather well. Everybody was clueless about what was really going on, and those who might have stood a chance of figuring things out and stopping him and the nWo were either unwittingly on the nWo's side or were distracted by other things.  All things considered, things were perfect.

    Vince doesn't know what hit him.

    And with that thought, Eric Bischoff began laughing malevolently.

So what do you think?  More will come shortly.  Please feed my muse with feedback so that's possible.
