Eddie stood staring at Edge, Kurt, Crash and Jericho.
"You shouldn't be here." Crash was saying to Edge. "You still haven't recovered, you still need another two days at the least."
"I knew something was going on, I could feel Jericho's energy slipping. I had to help, I just didn't want to be responsibly for loosing any of you, I couldn't rest with something like that hanging over my conscience."
"Oh, I've had just about enough of this!" Eddie stormed into their conversation, Edge turned with a slightly peeved expression. "Billy isn't gone, he's going to return, and he's brining that scoundrel of a captain, X- Pac, with him."
"Don't worry, you saw me out there." Edge smirked. "I can take em both on."
Eddie just stood there pouting, "I'm holding you to that, Champ."
Edge turned back to his friends, "Crash, Jericho, there's something I need you to do for me."
"What is it?" Crash asked.
"I want you to take Kurt back home."
"What?" Kurt was confused.
"Kane will be coming after us, I felt his presence earlier. He was heading for us but when our location changed, so did his destination. Kurt will be safe back home, and when you get there, I want all of you to stay there."
"What!" Crash gasped.
"No way!" Jericho stood firm.
"Yes. Look, you might think it's crazy, or even suicidal, but you guys are no match for Kane even as a combine force. I can take him, please, you have to believe me. I may not be at full strength, but I still pose the highest chance out of us all."
"You seem to be forgetting someone." Eddie cut in.
Edge turned back to him, "I was counting you out, Eddie, because I figured you wouldn't be of any help and would most likely prove to be a threat."
"Oh the contrary." Eddie smirked. "I have a bone to pick with Kane bigger than yours. After we get rid of these menaces, we can have our fight."
Edge nodded, "Sounds good to me." He turned to his three friends. "You got it."
Crash and Jericho were reluctant, but finally sighed, "Ok..."
"Good." Edge smiled. He watched as the three jumped up into the air as Crash and Jericho escorted Kurt Angle back to his home. Edge turned back to Eddie. "Well, looks like it's just you and me now."
"Not for long." Eddie turned around. Edge followed his gaze, he could sense it too now. "They're coming, Champ, and don't say I didn't warn you."
The two watched and waited as they could feel the two approaching from off in the distance. They grew nearer and soon they were close enough to see. Edge and Eddie tensed and got ready as X-Pac and Billy Gunn cut their flight short and fell to the ground feet first, landing firmly in a battle pose.
Billy stepped forward, "I'd like to introduce you to our team leader."
"X-Pac." Eddie growled.
"Surprised to see me again so soon?" He laughed.
"I still can't believe all of you would turn on me for that monster, Kane!"
"Sorry mate." Billy smirked. "He just offered us a better pension plan."
"Can the sweet talk, let's go." Edge got in a battle pose. "Ready Eddie?"
"I'm right behind you Champ." Eddie stood next to him. X-Pac and Billy watched Eddie smirk, then jump off into the air.
Edge turned, "Hey!"
"Have fun Champ!" He laughed as he flew off.
"Wait, oh no!" Edge had been tricked.
"You're mine!" X-Pac lunged forward and the fight began.
Edge and X-Pac battled hard, they seemed to be matched, blocking each others blows, dodging the other's energy blasts. Billy watched and laughed, Edge had no idea what lay in store for him. In the radiation explosion, some superstars had been given a special ability along with their newly gotten powers. Edge would soon learn X-Pac's, and it wasn't pretty. Finally they both stepped back, panting, and stared the other down.
"Come on." Edge growled after catching his breath.
"My, my, I must admit, you seem to be quite the formidable foe." X-Pac stood normally, Edge tensed, it could be a trick. "But I know you can hide your true power level, I also share that coveted technique. So why don't you be a sport and show us your real energy maximum, it'll make our battle all that much more entertaining."
"Very well then, don't say I didn't warn you." Edge smirked, X-Pac frowned. Edge began to power up. Billy and X-Pac watched as his level grew, it began to double, and then triple. X-Pac gasped as he kept on going, it was rising higher and higher.
Billy was in shock, "Man, no wonder we didn't stand a chance against him."
"Whoa, what are you doing!" X-Pac cried, not expecting this. "Stop!"
"I'm just getting warmed up." Edge smirked.
X-Pac could do nothing but stare until Edge finally reached his climax, "So this is it then, this is the real you?"
"Impressive hu." Edge stood proudly. "Now how about you, it's your turn. And I take it from your reaction that it nowhere near matches mine."
X-Pac sighed, "You know what, you're right. I may not be the same level as yours, but that could prove to be a strong point for me and the eventual downfall for yourself." This confused Edge. "Stand back Billy."
"Right." Billy moved back and smiled. "Oh yea, he's gonna do it!"
"Hey monkey, allow me to refresh your memory on an old saying. If you can't beat em, join em!" X-Pac smiled.
"What?" Edge was thrown off guard, what exactly did that mean.
"And now witness my ultimate attack!" X-Pac powered up all of his energy in his body and focused it into a ball in his hand. Edge braced for it but all of a sudden, X-Pac rammed it into his chest.
"Whoa, what are you doing!" Edge gasped, that blow had to have sent him an inch from his life.
"Switch!" X-Pac began to glow and a blinding flash lit the air as a beam shot out from his body and onto Edge's.
"What's going on, I can't move!" Edge gasped as he began to feel funny.
"Whoa, man." Billy covered his eyes until the light faded and both wrestlers hung in the air. "C-captain? X-Pac!"
Edge laughed, "Oh yea, man does this feel good."
"Hey, what happened!" X-Pac gasped, only he had Edge's voice.
"How do you like my special technique hu?" Edge smirked, with X-Pac's voice. "Body switch attack. Now I can return and fool your men, destroying them all. Then Kane will rule supreme and I shall have my reward."
"Not to mention a huge bonus and a paid vacation." Billy chimed in.
(A/N: For the sake of, well, sanity, I will be calling X-Pac by X-Pac and Edge by Edge, just do note though that they are in each other's body... if that isn't confusing enough.)
X-Pac stretched as Billy made his way over to him, "Now Billy, why don't we go off and try this body out on his three friends."
"Sounds like a great plan." Billy laughed as they both flew off.
"Hey, wait!" Edge cried, weak and in immense pain.
"Oh and one more thing." X-Pac turned around. "Don't forget to die now!" He laughed as he and Billy flew off.
"Oh no." Edge struggled to fly in the battered bloody body. "I have to get there somehow, X-Pac has my body, he can trick my friends and destroy them all in an instant." Edge tried to fly fast but his body had minimal energy. "Slow and steady wins the race... oh, I only hope so."
"Well Kurt, we're here." Crash said as the trio landed before his house.
"Thanks guys. But I can't help but feel guilty for leaving Edge back there alone." Kurt sighed.
"Yea, you and me both." Crash turned around. "Hey, Jericho?"
Jericho had his back to them, he looked over his shoulder, "I'm going back."
"What?" The two gasped.
"I know Edge told us to stay here, but I can't help not knowing that something might be wrong, he's not fully recovered." Jericho sighed but then gasped. "Wait, wait a minute." The two turned to him and Jericho smiled, "I don't think we have to go anywhere, I sense Edge, and he's coming this way!" They all grinned. (But oh how wrong they were....)
"You shouldn't be here." Crash was saying to Edge. "You still haven't recovered, you still need another two days at the least."
"I knew something was going on, I could feel Jericho's energy slipping. I had to help, I just didn't want to be responsibly for loosing any of you, I couldn't rest with something like that hanging over my conscience."
