(A/N: Sorry for such a delayed update, been busy. It'sa kinda short chapter, but for now it's better than nothing.)

Crash sighed as he looked over at Mick Foley, still asleep in the lawn chair, the magazine over his face. He fiddled with the ice cubes in his now empty lemonade glass. RVD flew from above the roof of the house in the air then landed beneath a tree, sitting down in the shade next to his sleeping cat, Puar. He noticed Crash's expression.

"Hey."

"Hu?" Crash looked up.

"You ok man?"

"Yea, it's just that, I'm so bored. I mean, I can only spar with you so much, we're on par, and Mick here can't help us so what more is there to do?"

"Well, we could always go to train with Flair and the boys."

"No way, I don't wanna go anymore than you do."

Rob made a face, he had him there, "We're as strong as we're going to be. We learned the Kamehameha, that's what you wanted originally right?"

"Yea, but I thought there would be more than what it is. I mean, it's gotta be so elementary to guys like Edge and Benoit."

"That's Edge and Benoit." Rob stood up, Crash looked over as he approached him. "We're not Edge and Benoit, we're Rob and Crash. We can only be who we are."

"Yea, I guess you're right. But I still wanna help."

"And we will help." He sat down next to Crash. "But we can only help so much."

Crash gasped and turned, "Oh no."

RVD growled, "Whoa, what's that!" Puar awoke.

"It's them."

Rob looked down at him, "Hu? Them who?"

Crash pointed as the two figures grew nearer, "Them!"

Rob gulped amid his growling, "Oh... them."

The Big Show and Nidia came into view as Crash stood up, "Rob, take Mick inside the house to someplace safe, these guys could mean business."

"Yea, right." Rob nodded, he got up with Puar clinging to his shoulder and carried the sleeping Foley, lawn chair and all, into the house without even dropping the magazine.

Crash set his glass down on the table and stood up, "Alright you two, let's see what you've got." The two landed before him, they stared each other down as a slight breeze seemed to pick up for a moment. "Alright guys, you're here, so what do you want?"

"A pact." Nidia spoke up.

"A what?" Crash was confused, did he just hear her right.

"We want to make a deal of alliance with you." Show explained.

Crash wasn't convinced, "What for?"

"We hate The Rock as much as you do, he killed Jamie Noble." Show looked down at Nidia as she cringed.

"Oh." Crash's face softened, he'd forgotten about that. He approached Nidia and put a hand on her shoulder. "Nidia, I'm sorry, this all must be very hard for you." She turned away and sniffed. "Alright Show. Don't worry you're pretty little head Nidia, we'll get Rocky and I'll personally make sure he suffers for what he's done to you."

Nidia's shaky eyes met his, she embraced him tightly, "Oh thank you so much."

Crash was shocked but patted her back, "Don't worry, it'll be ok."

Rob came out of the house and gasped, "Oh no Crash, look out!" He growled and ran to his side. "Get off him you wench!"

"Excuse me." Nidia gave him a 'oh no you just didn't' look.

"No, no, it's ok." Crash got up to block his way. "They're on our side."

"What, they are?" Rob scratched his head. "Wait, I'm not on something am I?"

"No."

"Wow, I need to get on something." He went back into the house.

"Rob." Puar growled.

Show looked down at Crash, "Wow. With partners like him, you could really use us as allies." Crash just smirked.

"Hey down there!" They looked up.

Crash smiled, "Hey Rey!"

Rey Mysterio landed down beside them, "So, you decided to join us hu? Good for you."

"What, how did you know?" Crash was confused again.

Rey smirked as he folded his arms, "Meh, I kinda figured as much." He looked around. "So where are Mick, and Rob?"

"Mick is asleep and I think Rob is going through with drawl."

"Well let Mick rest but grab Rob and let's go."

"Where are we going?" Show asked.

"To Flair's house."

"But we won't stand a chance with those big boys." Crash explained.

"That has nothing to do with it."

"Oh, then what...?" Crash stopped in mid-wonderment as Rob came outside.

"Rey, I thought I sensed you here, what's up?"

"We're going off to Flair's, come on." Rey jumped into the air.

"Right behind ya." Rob went up after him, Puar fell off his shoulder but he grabbed his tail and looked down at the others. "Come on slow pokes."

"Ok." Crash jumped after him, followed by Show and Nidia. The five made their way to Flair's.

At Flair's, the big boys were laying out some ground rules on Flair's new invention.

"Alright." Ric spoke up. "It can last three sessions, so I suggest you pair off."

"Eddie's with me." Jeff Hardy looked to his newly appointed mentor.

"I could go by myself if I wanted." Eddie Guerrero pouted and looked away.

"Edge and Jericho will go together." Benoit spoke up.

"Why's that?" Edge asked.

"I can go by myself." Benoit replied. "And besides... you know why." Benoit gave him a look. Edge understood and nodded.

"So, whose up first?" Flair didn't have to ask.

"Me, now get out of the way!" Eddie shoved past and pulled Jeff along.

"Now remember, you can only last one day." Flair reminded.

"Yes, yes I know." Eddie shut the door.

Chyna looked over at Oolong, "Well pig, what do we do now?"

"I dunno." He shrugged. "Flair invented this machine for the boys to train. It allows them to train in a weeks amount of time in just a day, it changed in gravity and weather conditions, it truly is a work of wonderment."

"Heh, you got that right." Flair smirked proudly.

"So how did you come to pass this?" Benoit asked.

"Chyna helped me, and I had a little luck on my side as well." Flair blushed.

"I see." Edge turned to Jericho, who had a concerned look on his face. "Hey."

"Hm?" He turned slightly.

"You ok?" Edge rubbed his head.

"Yea, I'll be fine." Jericho turned to him. "It's just that, why don't you go alone? Everyone knows you're the strong man, you're the hero of this team. We fell horribly with you gone, you need the training by yourself and if you needed a partner, then why not Benoit? He's stronger than I am."

"Because I want to make you stronger too." Edge smiled. "I know you have a special hidden power, I can tell by looking at you. I have a feeling you can be come a Super Star too, you just need to bring it out, and with me training you we can do that."

"But Eddie is a Super Star too, and you're still stronger than him." Jericho countered.

"True, but not by much. Jericho, you have to trust my gut on this one, please. I know what's best, after all." He looked down at him. "I am the leader." He winked.

After a pause, Jericho smirked, "Thanks Edge."

Edge nodded back and looked up at the chamber, "Sure thing pal, sure thing...."
