Kane was making his way closer and closer to Kurt's house. Edge had fallen asleep and Eddie continued to stare at the horizon until a scream broke them out of their silence.
"Ah!" The cry caused Edge's eyes to snap open and Eddie to turn around. He burst in the house and Edge sat up to see the owner of the yell, Jericho. "Needles!" Crash was pulling and tugging on Chris as he tried to get out of the room. "Oh no, nobody touches me with one of those, ever! I'd rather die, I'd rather be injured, but please." He began to cry and Kurt came out of the room.
"I'm not giving you a needle, I'd never do that and you know it. I just had to put this one away in the trash after using it to make the bean." He explained.
Chris froze in his tracks and turned, "Oh." Everyone began to laugh and it caused him to blush with humiliation. "Aw man, I'm so embarrassed."
"Say Kurt." Edge asked as he lay back down. "How is that bean of yours coming?"
"Ten minutes tops." He replied.
"Yea." Crash cheered, Eddie turned and went back outside. "What is it?"
"Hey you, come here." He whispered only so that he would hear. Crash went outside with Eddie, Jericho saw and his catlike curiosity urged him on to follow.
"What is it?" Crash asked, being joined by Jericho.
"Kane is close, he's about a mile away now." Eddie said, staring off into the distance. "Edge is nowhere near full recovery yet. We have to cause a distraction to divert his attention, at least until Kurt gets him that bean."
"Yea." Crash nodded.
"Let's go." Jericho jumped up into the air.
"Wait." A voice caused them to stop and turn, it was Kurt. "Guys, Edge is asleep, I left the bean next to him so when it's ready he can eat it. Edge needs his sleep, he needs to regain as much energy as he can. I know if we get in trouble he'll wake up and come to the battle, so that's why I'm going with you, in case you need help."
Jericho sighed and nodded, "Yea, ok, come on."
The four of them flew off in the direction of Kane, they could feel him, they were getting closer, but they had to divert his attention, so they flew far from Edge's house. Kane sensed their powers and went after them rather than to Kurt's house like originally planned. He sensed the four energy levels, he didn't know who they were, but he thought that one might be Edge.
"I think this is far enough." Eddie stopped, the others did the same. They waited.
"Is he coming?" Crash looked around.
"Yes, I can feel him." Eddie growled though bared teeth.
"Get ready guys." Jericho turned to Kurt. "You'd better take cover."
"Yea, ok." Kurt nodded and hid down on the ground in a tree.
The trio jerked, Eddie got in a pose, "He's here!"
Kane appeared from out of nowhere, causing the trio to tense, "Well, well, look who it is. Hello Eddie, looks like with your old troops gone, you've turned to the good fight to rally some new members."
Eddie growled, "Far from it you traitor! We're only teaming up to get rid of you, then we will fight each other."
Kane smirked, "I'm surprised that my DX Force didn't take you out."
"Please, we destroyed them easily." Jericho boasted.
"Soon Flair will be signing their pink slips, yours as well." Crash smirked.
Kane frowned, "I should like to see a dead man give news to the living." He smiled again. "So, who should I take out first." He looked at Eddie who was still growling in his angry pose, he then turned to Jericho who gulped and tried to remain firm, finally he turned to Crash. "I chose you."
"Hu?" Crash was off guard and Kane attacked him, pounding him ruthlessly with his fists until Crash started to loose altitude and Kane kicked him, hurling him to the ground below.
"Crash!" Jericho cried.
"And just for good measure..." Kane powered up his hand and shot a beam out of his finger, it shot through Crash's chest.
"No!" Jericho yelled as Crash lay motionless.
"You, monster." Eddie was in shock, sure they had taken out numerous superstars already, but none of them had been killed, only knocked out so they could live to survive a life after the WWE. But Kane had just killed Crash. "How dare you!"
"What do you care, Eddie." Kane smirked. "I mean, it's not like you cared about your little friend there."
"Fighting is one thing, but killing is definitely out of the question! We could have you arrested for this!" Eddie powered up.
"I'd like to see a dead man give a report to the police." Kane folded his arms arrogantly.
"Crash!" Jericho started to fly down to him.
"So eager Chris?" Kane appeared in front of him. "Alright then, you're next." Jericho's jaw dropped in shock and fear. "You'll be reunited with him soon." He grabbed him around the neck, choking him. Jericho gasped for air. "Let's see you survive this, little boy." He threw Jericho down to the ground in a choke slam, then flew back up and smirked, seeing his body in a hole on the ground. "Pity that bold haired Canadian wasn't Edge." He looked up at Eddie. "And now, for you." He began to move forward but a blast nearly took his head off. "Ah, what the!" He looked down to see Jericho coming at him. "So, you're not dead... yet." He smiled. "More fun for me." He shot a series of energy blasts at Jericho, he took them all and as the smoke cleared, he continued to fly up at him. Kane frowned, "Take that." He kicked him, but Jericho blocked it with his arms.
"Amazing, Jericho's snapped, he's gone in such a blind rage that he doesn't even seem to realize he's injured or even in pain. He's got the skill of a true fighter, his power level is increasing as he's battling." Eddie realized to himself.
"This is for Edge!" Jericho began to focus his power to one spot. "Ka...me...ha...me.." Kane just stood there, ready to dodge it. "Ha!" Jericho was quick though, he shot the blast and it hit Kane, not even giving him enough time to block it. Kane fell to the ground smoking. "I did it!"
"Not so fast." Eddie caused his attention to turn back to Kane, he was still moving.
"You little runt." Kane growled and appeared back up in the air. "You'll pay for that one." Jericho was too shocked to move, allowing Kane to tear into him with every blow imaginable. He was tearing demonically into Jericho with blows and attacks that would likely kill a normal man, but Jericho refused to fall. "Time to put you under!" He threw him to the ground and landed on top of him. Jericho cried out as Kane began to press down his foot onto his ribs. "Don't even think about it Eddie." Kane caused him to tense. "One false move and this kid here gets the most gruesome, painful death even possibly imaginable."
Eddie growled, "What can I do?"
Kane looked down at the bloody battered Jericho who had tears in his eyes, "Say good by, on and say hello to your dead friend for me." Kane raised his foot and Jericho closed his eyes, whimpering. But just then a blast knocked Kane off of him.
"Hu?" Jericho and Eddie were confused.
Eddie turned to see Crash, "What, no way!"
"Crash!" Jericho coughed, blood spurting from his mouth.
"What, no way, that's impossible!" Kane was frozen in shock. "I killed you, how did you come back to life?"
Crash smirked, "Some things are better left unanswered, especially to the likes of you." Crash began to fight Kane, who was still too confused to move. "I have to give Kurt enough time." He said to himself. "Jericho's dying quickly, I have to keep Kane away."
Eddie turned back to Jericho, "Hu?" He saw Kurt down by him.
"Just hold still, this will all be over in a second." Kurt's hands began to glow as he placed them on Jericho.
Eddie watched as the glow disappeared and Jericho got up, he gasped, "What!"
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Kurt smiled.
Jericho was shocked, "What... happened? Hu? Kurt?"
"Yea, looks like I've got the power to heal. Pretty cool hu?" Kurt laughed.
Jericho smiled, "I'll say!"
"I killed you before, and I will again!" Kane hit Crash on the back, knocking him senseless for a moment as he landed on the ground. Kane raised his hand, preparing an energy blast but just then something rammed him sharply in the gut. "What... the!" He gasped when he saw Jericho growling up at him. "No way, he was dying for sure, I'm positive of that! How did he possibly..."
"The time for talk is over, take that!" Jericho's fist glowed and he delivered an upper cut to Kane's jaw, then grabbed his legs, spun him around and flung him to the ground. Jericho smirked and posed.
Eddie finally snapped out of his confused, "So, like X-Pac, Kurt Angle also got a special ability. I'll have to keep that in mind. Both Jericho and Crash are back in the game now. But can we still do this alone, without Edge? I have to know more about Kurt's powers. Why didn't he use them on Edge before?" He began to think to himself as he watched Crash and Jericho go into a back to back pose, ready for Kane when he got back up.
"We got him this time." Kurt cheered eagerly. "We can win it!"
A/N: Ok, look. I like writing this, I don't have a problem with it, but if nobody's going to review it like a loyal reader should, then why bother to continue. I can resume this whenever I want, I know the story, I know what I'm going to do, but there's no point if writing if nobody's reading, it just hurts and let's the author down. I know you know how it feels, so why hurt another because other's are hurting you.
