Eddie, Benoit, Crash and Jericho all floated down to a cliff so they could
watch from a safe distance. Eddie sat down to rest, he was hurting and very
tired. Kane could've put him out if not for Edge's timing. Up in the air,
Edge and Kane stared eye to eye, a breeze in the higher altitude blowing
gently as if to give a proper setting to the match up.
"Guys, do you think we stand a chance?" Jericho asked.
"I don't know." Crash said as he sat Kurt against a rock to rest. "Kurt's out, this is our only shot, we blow this and who knows what we've let the world come to."
"Don't think of the worst, hope for the best. This is Edge we're talking about here." Benoit replied.
"As much as I hate to agree, Edge might be the only one of us that can give Kane a legitimate run for his money." Eddie growled after admitting that and muttered, "For now..."
"Oh, hey you guys." The strange voice caused everyone to turn to see...
"Chyna?" Benoit had no idea she'd left along with Jericho and Crash.
"What are you doing here?" Crash and Jericho asked in unison.
X-Pac, in Chyna's body, cleared his throat in order to attempt to sound feminine, "I just wanted to check up on you guys to see if you needed help with anything."
"No, we're fine." Eddie turned away, not wanting to look at the woman, he wanted nothing to do with her.
"Look at you tough guy." X-Pac laughed. Down at the bottom of the hill of the cliff, Chyna was tied up in X-Pac's body.
"Chyna are you ok, you sound kinda funny." Jericho cocked his head.
"Are you sure I sound funny, maybe you're hearing is off. Did you get hit on the head?" X-Pac taunted.
"Something's wrong here, she's acting really weird." Crash whispered to Jericho.
"Yea really." Jericho raised an eyebrow.
"Haha, I'm free." Chyna smiled as she managed to untie herself and took the gag off her mouth. "And now, to get back what is rightfully mine." She began to sneak up the hill.
"So, what's going on?" X-Pac asked.
"Edge is about to fight Kane." Jericho replied.
"What, are you serious!" X-Pac shoved past them and looked to see the two facing the other down. "Oh wow, what a great match, this is fantastic!"
"Hey, Kane's really powerful, Edge is in a lot or danger you know? So I'd appreciate it if you took a less entertained tone." Crash growled.
X-Pac smiled as he looked at Crash and Jericho, thinking to himself, "Ha, look at them, Kane did a number on them. Serves them right. But... huh." He noticed Benoit. "Haven't seen him around the battlefield before. Such power, more than those two squirts." He felt something inside him. "Aha, that's it, it's been an hour. I can change bodies again... but no, not to my old body, to that old, weak beaten up shell." Eddie had fallen asleep by the rock by Kurt, they were both too tired and hurt to interest X-Pac anyway. X-Pac began to laugh, "You're mine!"
"Hu?" Benoit turned in shock.
"Hey wait, that voice!" Jericho gasped.
"I know, it's X-Pac!" Crash cried out.
"Switch!" X-Pac glowed, and so did Benoit.
Crash and Jericho covered their eyes from the light, but heard, "Oh no you don't!" The light faded and Jericho and Crash looked up at Benoit.
"Hey, are you ok?" Jericho looked up at Benoit whose shocked angry face softened into one of confusion as he looked down at Jericho.
"What, just happened, Chris?" He asked.
Jericho smiled, "Hey you're ok!"
"Then what did happen?" Crash turned to see X-Pac and Chyna.
"That's for even taking my body in the first place!" Chyna, now back in her own body, kicked X-Pac below the belt.
"Oh!" Everybody cringed as X-Pac rolled backwards down the hill in pain.
"Chyna, are you alright?" Crash asked.
"Yea I'm fine, how about you guys?" She looked around and saw Kurt and Eddie.
"Two down, hopefully Edge won't make it a three." Crash replied, looking up at Edge and Kane.
"Oh no, Edge isn't ready!" She gasped.
"I know." Benoit sighed. "But we were nearly put out of action ourselves. Now, if anyone can do it, it's Edge."
"Yea, I understand." Chyna sighed.
"Listen, you'd better get outa here, it's not safe here for you." Jericho spoke up.
"I can't, my car ran out of gas and it's way far off." She replied.
"Well then you'd better start walking." Benoit turned his back.
"What, are you serious!" She shrieked.
"Yes." Crash replied. "You could get killed out here, you don't have any powers. Besides, Kurt needs help. You should take him with you, you can go to his house."
"Oh? And how do you propose I do that?" Chyna put her hands on her hips.
"Here." Benoit threw a twenty at her. "Go get some gas, get your car and take Kurt back to his house and go from there." Chyna slumped.
"I saw a gas station a few miles off, I'm sure you can handle this." Crash assured.
"What about him?" Chyna motioned to Eddie. She stared at him, he was kinda cute.
"Don't worry about him. Kurt doesn't have powers like we do and he knows how to make those beans and can heal people with his technique. It's up to you now Chyna." Jericho spoke up.
Chyna sighed, "Yea I get it. I'm going." She walked off slightly disappointed.
"Hey guys." Crash looked up. "I think they're gonna fight."
"This is it guys. Judgment day." Benoit growled.
"No pun intended." Jericho said, causing Benoit and Crash to look down at him. "What?"
Back with Kane and Edge, they had stared the other down long enough, they both knew what this fight meant. Finally they broke their statue like stances and attacked. They were matched in speed, they naked eye couldn't follow them as they shot around countering the others attacks and attacking with barrages of kicks and engaging in slugfests. Finally they both stopped the onslaught to catch their breath.
Benoit closed his eyes, "Edge, are you ok?"
"Benoit?" Edge was really confused. "Am I hearing voices?"
"Well yes, my voice to be exact. Listen to me, I too have a technique like Kurt and X-Pac, as you can see."
"Wow, that's amazing. I wonder if I have a technique too."
"Most likely. But listen. Do you think you can defeat Kane?"
Edge stopped panting, "Yes, but right now we're evenly matched. I need to power up in order to do the attack. I know it will win the battle but I need time to prepare it.
Benoit smiled, "This is just like our first fight with Rhyno. Don't worry, I'll do it."
"But Benoit, you're..."
"I'm just returning the favor." Benoit ended the transmission and jumped into the air.
"Hey wait, where are you going?" Crash asked.
"Edge needs my help to win this." Benoit stared up at the two men in the air.
"But we already tried and failed." Crash replied.
"Besides, how do you know he can't do it alone?" Jericho asked.
Benoit spoke with his mind to Jericho, "That's how." Jericho gasped and looked up at Benoit. Benoit smirked and flew off and next to Edge.
"You ready Benoit?"
"Let's do it." Benoit flew at Kane and attacked.
"What, you again?" Kane laughed. "You fool, you won't be happy until you join Kurt and Eddie. Well don't you worry, I'm a generous man, as soon as I take you out, I'll send your friends to join you."
"Hey look." Crash pointed over to Edge, Jericho turned from watching the fight.
Edge was powering up, he had his hands over his head gathering energy, "I hope this works."
"Guys, do you think we stand a chance?" Jericho asked.
"I don't know." Crash said as he sat Kurt against a rock to rest. "Kurt's out, this is our only shot, we blow this and who knows what we've let the world come to."
"Don't think of the worst, hope for the best. This is Edge we're talking about here." Benoit replied.
