"You are a fool to challenge me!" Kane laughed as he began to pummel into Benoit.

"I can't let him get to Edge before he can finish!" Benoit groaned as he fell and hit the ground, panting amid the dust.

"He's getting destroyed out there, I have to help him!" Jericho jumped up but Crash grabbed his leg to hold him back. "Hey!"

"You can't go out there. For one you don't stand a chance of helping, and two we don't know what Edge and Benoit are planning." Crash let go and Jericho landed, growling.

Edge remained undetected in his stance as he gathered the energy, "I can take the power needed from all my friends back at Mick's house, but, will it be enough?" He closed his eyes, left alone with his thoughts, and hastily continued with preparing the attack.

Benoit powered up a super kick that landed squarely against the back of Kane's head, "How do you like them apples?"

Kane flipped and was floating upright again, "They taste rotten, just like you." Kane formed a blast in his hand and hurled it at Benoit, then did the same with the other hand, and went back and forward repeatedly. Benoit yelled in agony until he fell and crashed onto a tree, in immense pain.

"That's it." Jericho began to power up. "I can't take it anymore!"

"I know we gotta do something to help, but we can't." Crash began to debate with himself. "Then again, we can't just sit here and watch him get creamed. But we still don't know what he and Edge are planning. Oh, Jericho what should we do, we don't stand a chance..." No answer, Crash looked around. "Jericho?"

"Ah!" Jericho flew at Kane and tackled him with his whole body.

"No Chris don't!" Crash called, but Kane got the wind knocked out of him and flew back.

"Care for a sour apple?" Jericho growled and looked down to see Benoit trying to get up.

"Jericho don't do it, you don't stand a chance! Please, I don't know how I could live with your death being on my conscience." He cried.

"Don't worry about it then, cause you won't have to." Jericho powered up and began to attack Kane with a series of punches, each surprisingly inflicting damage.

"Wow, he's actually making progress." Crash was shocked. "What happened, he just snapped and now he's got all this energy. Wait, I remember hearing about this from Foley, I think he's unlocked his potential."

Jericho continued to wail on Kane until he did a double spinning heel kick, sending Kane into the air, then Jericho flew up and kicked Kane in the gut, hurling him into the ground, creating a hole, Jericho panted, "You leave my friends alone!"

"Wow." Benoit was shocked. "Looks like Jericho's stronger than I thought." Benoit turned, seeing Kane getting up. "Quick Chris!"

"Right." Jericho powered up and shot energy blasts from his hands. Kane covered himself by raising his arms for protection. The blasts surrounded him with smoke. "Take that!" He got a lot of power into one attack and shot it at Kane with both hands. It exploded, sending a burst of wind in all directions. Finally everything subsided and Jericho was left panting. He, and everyone else gasped. "No way!"

Kane stood there angrily and dashed into the air in front of Jericho, "Now it's my turn." He grabbed Jericho around the neck and raised him into the air, then used his other hand to punch him in the chest.

"Ah!" Jericho cried out and chocked. "My ribs, they feel like they're broken!"

"Oh good." Kane smiled. "Then I know I'm doing my job well." He let Jericho go, he floated there and held himself. Kane snickered, "But I'm not just done quite yet." Kane began to wail on Jericho with such speed that the others couldn't keep track of it.

"Oh no, he's gonna kill him." Edge looked up at his hands, they were starting to sparkle. "It's not done yet, oh come on, hurry up!"

Kane laughed and stopped the onslaught, "Had enough?" Jericho didn't reply, he was too busy panting and he was as glazed as a donut. "Well too bad, cause I've barely begun."

Kane kicked Jericho and he bolted backwards into the water. Jericho floated there for a moment, figuring he'd wait there and catch his breath, but he didn't have much air, so he had to go back up. As soon as he did, Kane shot an attack at him, he ducked and went back into the water. He had air this time, so he didn't go back up. But Kane was impatient, and he began to shoot the water until Jericho flew back into the air and caught his breath.

"Jericho, please stop." Benoit begged, but was still too tired to move.

Kane began the attack again, Jericho was getting too beat up to attempt to fight back. Kane went to grab him around the neck again, Jericho tensed but the attack never came. He opened his eyes to see Kane crouched down before him, he kicked him in the stomach. Jericho gasped and slowly dropped to his knees as Kane slunk off like a raptor. Jericho, with one eye barely open now from the pain, looked up right as Kane decked him in the jaw. Jericho cried out as the upper cut sent him flying backwards in the air, he hit the ground on his back and slid until his head had gone over the edge and into the water, the rest of his body remaining on dry land. Kane sauntered over, "Oh my, aren't you dead yet?" He saw bubbles where Jericho's head was. He reached his hand into the water and felt his neck, he grabbed it tightly and pulled it up, choking him again. "Haven't you had enough yet, you're starting to get boring." He picked him up and held him in front of his face. "And you do know what I do to those people who make me bored, hm?" Jericho tried to open his eyes and struggle to answer, but he couldn't find the strength. Instead, he just broke down into a coughing fit. Some of his spit fell onto Kane's cheek. He looked down at it and growled. "Why you dirty Canadian!" Kane threw him to the ground, where he landed on his side, and began to kick him in the stomach. Jericho cried out meekly at each blow, whimpering.

"Please, stop it Kane, that's enough!" Benoit begged.

Kane looked up, "Oh, I forgot all about you. I have your friend now too though. So who should I kill first?" Kane lifted his finger and looked down at Jericho, some of the water he swallowed coming from his mouth and onto the ground. "Him?" Kane looked back over at Benoit. "Or maybe you?" Kane turned to look over at Crash. "Or even... hu?" Kane finally noticed Edge. "What is he doing?"

"Oh no." Benoit gulped. "He saw him." He spoke with his mind to Edge. "Hurry up, he's noticed you."

"I'm trying, just keep stalling him." Edge replied.

"We can't, I'm down, Jericho's dying, and Crash... wait, Crash!" Benoit spoke to him.

"What, Benoit?" Crash looked around, he just heard his voice.

"Listen Crash, I'm using my power to speak to you with my mind. You have to do something, Edge is almost done, but we need to buy him more time. Not much, just a small diversion to keep Kane away."

"If I fight him I'll surely loose, but if I can divert him just enough to keep him away from Edge until the right time... ok, I can do it." Crash flew into the air and over to Kane. "Nah, nah. You can't catch me." He flew off.

"Oh, of the arrogance!" Kane got angry and flew after him.

Benoit smiled, "Good job Crash, you can do it." He looked over and saw Jericho laying on the ground a few feet off. He struggled to go over to him. "Jericho, come on, you're ok, just stay awake, you can't die on me!" He finally got over to him and put a hand on his stomach, it was going up and down quickly, Jericho's broken ribs were making it hard for him to breathe and therefore hard to keep conscious. "Come on Jericho." Benoit kept willing him on, but his breathing was shallow and quick.

"Benoit." Edge was using his mind to contact Benoit, and since he'd left the link open, he heard. "It's Chris, is he ok?"

Benoit didn't know what to say, "I really don't know. Come on Chris, you can't die on me. You promised you'd be alright Chris, come on." Benoit began to shake him. Jericho groaned and began to cough. "Jericho?"

He opened his eyes slightly, his vision blurred, "Benoit."

"Hang in there kid."

"I wanna sleep, I'm so tired." Jericho's eyes began to flutter.

"No, stay awake, you have to. Please..."

"I'm all hurt Benoit, and I feel kinda cold." Jericho lay his head down and closed his eyes.

"No, you can't die on me." Benoit sapped his cheek, Jericho's eyes tightened. "Come on, you promised me. I know you'll be ok, you're tough, just hang in there." Benoit put a hand on his shoulder. "Chris?" No reply, not a single muscle moved. "Chris..." Benoit put his hand back on his stomach, it wasn't moving.

"Oh no." Edge froze in shock.

"Chris!" Benoit yelled.

Crash heard and stopped, "What?"

Kane turned, "Oh good, one died on his own." He looked at Crash. "And now it's your turn." Crash gulped.

"No, no." Edge began to cry. "No!" His hands glowed. "Ah, it's finished." He growled and looked at Kane.

"What, what's going on, what' she doing?" He was shocked. He raced over. "You can't win, no matter what!"

"Your reign of terror ends today Kane, ugh!" Edge formed a huge blue ball in his hand and threw it at Kane. "Take this!"

Kane stopped, "Nice try, good luck, I'll block it!" The attack grew closer and closer.

"Get down!" Edge pulled Crash down to the ground by Benoit and Jericho.

"Ah!" Kane couldn't block the attack like he thought and it grabbed him in it's path, then collided onto the ground, causing a huge explosion.

"Whoa!" Chyna's car swerved far away. She'd gotten the gas long ago and went back for Kurt in her car, she was taking him back to his house and was nearly there by now.

"Ah!" Crash, Benoit, Edge, and Jericho and Eddie's bodies were all thrown off away from each other. The water burst up, creating a huge tidal wave that crashed onto the ground, tearing trees from their roots and flooding the grass down into the mud. Finally everything calmed down. The water level had risen and the land formation had changed. Luckily no civilization was around, but the closest town did feel a slight quake and just mistook it for a small tremor. Just then, Crash surfaced.

"Whoa, now that was an energy blast!" He looked around. "Wow, look at this place, I gotta find some land to rest and find the others." Finally he saw some high ground and swam over. "I wonder where the others are?" Just then a sound made him turn, it was loud coughing. He ran over and was shocked to see, "Jericho!"

"Hu?" He looked up meekly.

"Oh my god, you're alive!" Crash ran down and hugged him.

"Ow, ow, ow!"

"Oh sorry." He helped him get all the way onto the land. "Are you ok?"

"Well," Chris caught his breath. "I'm alive, aren't I?" He lay down.

"You really need to rest."

Jericho closed his eyes, "Crash, where are the others?" Crash's silence caused Jericho to lift his head.

"I don't know..." Crash looked down at the meek and tired Jericho. "Maybe we should go find them."

"Alright." Jericho stood up shakily.

"Careful, take it easy." Crash let him rest on him as they flew. "Hey, hey look!" They saw another land formation above water, a figure surfaced, it was Benoit. "Benoit, then where's...." Before he could finish, Benoit had dragged Edge out and onto the land, they both crawled out of the water, panting with exoustion.

"Edge, Benoit!" Jericho called in a loud yet tired voice. Benoit looked over and smiled. Edge looked up to see the two land in front of them, Jericho collapsed to his knees and landed on Edge in an attempted hug, "You're ok."

"Jericho." Edge gave a tired smile. "You're ok too."

"Wow Edge, that attack was amazing, you got rid of Kane." Crash said enthusiastically.

"I feel bad for killing a person, but I guess it had to be done." Edge sighed.

Jericho found the strength to sit up, he looked over at Benoit with a smirk, "Benoit..."

Benoit smirked back, "Hey kid." He put a hand on his head and messed up his hair, Jericho just laughed, causing Edge to laugh.

"Hey wait, what about Eddie?" Jericho spoke up.

Edge sighed, "Well, now that Kane is gone, he's our rival again, and I guess he'd find it best if he was left on his own. He may be in no condition for a battle but neither am I, I guess that match will have to wait for another day."

Crash sat down on a rock, "Well I guess that's it then, maybe we should head back now."

"Yea." Benoit looked off in the distance. "I guess we've done enough damage for one day..." Or have they?
