(A/N: I'm introducing a new character in this chapter that I forgot to mention on the first page, he's Dan the company trainer, he's just one of the guys on staff that I'll use every so often. I guess he's like that guy who helps out Kami at his lookout. Anyway, story.)
Kurt Angle and Ric Flair had arrived on the decimated battle scene where they saw Crash helping Edge to walk over to where Jericho still lay. Kurt and Flair helped the trio get to the trainers room where the medical staff was on hand and waiting.
"So what happened out there?" Kurt asked.
"Yea, did you defeat Eddie's problem solver?" Flair added.
"No, actually, Eddie destroyed him himself." Edge's words shocked them. "Eddie and I were pretty much matched, but I let him get away."
"What, you didn't get rid of him!" Kurt gasped in shock.
"But why?" Flair chimed in.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Edge just smiled.
"Oh Edge, I hope you do." Flair sighed.
"Hey Edge, how did Mick's training come in handy?" Kurt spoke up.
Edge just smirked, "Man, that guy sure knows his stuff. I'm gonna have to teach the others his ways."
"Why not just have Mick come over here for a sparring session? I'm sure the whole gang could benefit from that." Kurt suggested.
"That's a good idea." Flair agreed. "We'll need everyone to defeat Eddie and his force, we don't know who or what he has planned next, and we can't just rely on you Edge."
Just then Crash came out of the back room with bandages all over, stitches, and a brace on his right knee. He sat down in the chair next to Edge, who had also already received medical attention. He was wrapped up almost like a mummy and had a neck brace on, plus a cast oh his left arm that went from his elbow and around his wrist.
"So." Edge spoke up to Crash. "How's Chris doing?"
"They're examining him right now, heh, if he lets them." Crash smirked. "How are you doing Edge?"
"I'll live, my pride's the most shot of anything around here."
"I only hope you know what you're doing with this Eddie character, who knows what he'll do next and we're in no shape to fight right now."
"Crash is right, we should focus with the others. Their injuries were much minor, even more so than yours, Crash. We should start training as soon as possible." Flair spoke up.
"I agree." Kurt and Crash said in unison.
"How are the others Crash?" Edge asked.
"They're fine, they're back with the others in the locker room already."
"Oh you had me so worried!" Chyna and Puar were hugging RVD tightly while crying. He had a gauze bandage on his left cheek and an eye patch over his right eye.
"Ow, I, ow, oh, ow, ow, stop!" His body was still sore and tender.
"I'm just glad we're alive after that." Rey smirked and held his tapped ribs.
"Benoit, where's Jericho, and Edge? I'm worried about them." Lita turned to him.
"Don't worry they're fine." As Benoit spoke, the door opened and in walked Crash and Kurt.
"How are you guys doing?" Kurt asked.
"Fine, thank you." Benoit replied, in the same position and tone.
"Guys, I think we're going to need all the help we can get with this one." Crash spoke up, everyone turned to him. "We're going to have a training session with Mick Foley in the next up coming weeks. His advice was very helpful to Edge, and with all of his knowledge and wisdom on this subject, he can over time help us learn to control and use our powers properly and benefit from them in our battle efforts."
"That's a good idea." Benoit nodded.
"Yea, I'm in." Rey smiled.
"Me, ow, too." RVD said, still sore from the hugging on his wounds.
"Crash, where are Edge and Jericho?" Lita spoke up again.
"You shouldn't worry, they're with the trainer right now." As soon as Crash finished speaking, Lita ran passed him out the door and down the hall to the trainer's room.
"Where are you?" She opened the door, slamming it hard, full force onto Flair.
"Ow." Edge clenched his teeth, imagining how much that had to hurt. "Looks like they've got another patient after Chris."
"Edge!" Lita cried out and jumped onto Edge, hugging him tightly.
"Oh, no, not the injuries, please not the, ow, I said not the injuries...."
"I'm so sorry, you had me worried sick!" Lita snuggled up against him, tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Edge held her close, wrapping his arms around her. "It's ok, everything's ok, don't worry."
"Are you ok?"
"Yea, I'm fine."
"Where's Jericho, is he ok?"
"We'll know soon enough."
"Edge, we could use some help in here!" Dan, the trainer opened the door. Edge and Lita stood up and ran in to see Jericho giving the EMT's the hassle of their lives.
"What's going on in here?" Edge was confused.
"Help me guys, you gotta help me, they're killing me!" Jericho yelled in a cracking voice, showing that he was going to cry. He had a crutch in hand, his left knee was ace bandaged and he had a soft cast on his left arm which was in a sling tied around his neck, he had bandages over his body to cover the cuts, gashes and bruises. He had one cut that was still bleeding profusely on his forehead.
"Please help restrain him, we have to close the wound but he won't let us near him." Dan explained.
"Get away from me, get your hands off me! Haven't you had your way enough with me yet?" Jericho growled angrily.
"Hold him down." Edge shouted directions. The EMT's all grabbed Jericho and held him down, Edge and Lita assisted.
"Ok just hang on we'll be done here in a sec." Dan pulled out a needle to stitch him up.
"Ah!" Jericho caught a glimpse of it. "Needles!" He powered up, causing everyone to fall off him, he floated up against the ceiling. "Oh no, nobody comes near me with one of those, I'd rather get sick and die than let some shot puncture my skin!"
"He's afraid of needles?" Dan turned to Lita and Edge.
"Uhm, yea, I guess so." Edge just shrugged to Lita.
"Don't worry then, we can close the opening with this new product. It keeps a wound closed that would regularly require stitches, without the use of a needle." Dan replied.
Jericho overheard, "Really, you're not just making this up?"
"No." Dan held up a purple liquid.
Jericho hesitated, still a little reluctant, "Well, ok then." He lowered himself back onto the examining table. Dan applied the tube's contents to the wound and it held it closed and stopped the bleeding.
"Wow." Edge was shocked. "That think is a miracle worker!"
"Yea I'll say." Dan laughed.
Edge scowled, "Hey, then why didn't you use it on all of us?"
"Oh come on now Edge, that's very expensive and I can't use my whole supply in one day, I only have it for emergency backup in cases such as these."
"Yea, so just try and be careful not to get seriously injured, Jericho." Lita chimed in.
"I can't promise I'll try, but I'll try to try." Jericho stuck his tongue out at her.
"So is he cleared out now?" Edge asked.
"We just have to conduct our last check on him, a complete physical." Dan snapped on his white gloves, causing Jericho to tense and gasp. "Now just relax, this will all be over in no time if you cooperate. Let's have you start by opening your mouth and..."
"Oohh no!" Jericho flew out the open door. "So long suckers! Haha!"
Edge just sighed and turned to Dan, "Shall I?"
"You know what, with you guys being all set out to protect the WWE, you're gonna be getting hurt a lot. I have my work cut out for me enough as it is, and having to not put up with Jericho is fine by me. Let's just let him off the hook, ok."
"Oh I see, just this once?" Lita asked.
Dan just looked at her blankly for a moment, then shook his head, "No."
