"So." Edge looked around the room. "Where is Hidenrich anyway?"
Hogan blinked, "Wow, you know what? I dunno."
"I'll go look for him." Kurt Angle stood up. "I can be sneaky like a cat."
"I'll go with you." Hogan put a hand on his shoulder.
Kurt froze and gulped, "Yea, but ah, Hogan…"
"What, are you saying I'm not like a cat?"
"Oh, no, I ah. Was just thinking you should stay here, you know? To protect, Trish?"
"Oh she'll be fine without me, hell, she's tougher than you." Hogan boasted. Kurt growled to himself but remained silent, choosing not to comment on that remark. Hogan justlaughed, "Come on, it'll be fun."
"Ah!" Kurt cried out in shock as Hogan pulled him along out the door.
"Great, I'll come too!" Brock Lesnar closed the door behind him, eager to exact his revenge on Paul Heyman and his new client.
Dan shook his head, "Tisk, tisk. Poor Kurt."
"Yea, I'll say." Trish Stratus rolled her eyes. "I'm just glad it's not me."
Eddie Guerrero turned to Edge, "You don't like this either, do you?"
"No." Edge blinked. "We should be the ones out there searching."
"We should go after them." Edge stood up.
"Just please." Lita grabbed onto his arm. "Be careful, will you?"
"Alright." Edge smiled.
"What about, the plan?" Chris Benoit hinted.
"We can do it, we wanna help too!" Christian and Jeff Hardy both stood up at the same time.
"Good. Then you guys stay here with everyone, Hidenrich might come back here looking, we'll need you three to stand guard to protect everyone."
Benoit nodded, "Right Edge. Good luck out there."
"Yea." Edge gave him a confident thumbs up. "You too." He and Eddie ran out the door.
Flair sighed and sat down in his desk chair, "I thank God that SmackDown is pre-recorded…"
"Where are we going Hulkster?" Kurt asked, still being pulled along.
"To find Hidenrich of course." Hogan laughed loudly.
"Then shouldn't we be quiet and searching?" Lesnar growled.
Hogan gulped and stopped, "Ah, yea sure, right, of course." Helet his grip on Kurt's shirt goand he let out his tense breath.
"Sh, hey look." Lesnar whispered as he leaned up against a corner, hearing a familiar laughter.
"What?" Kurt snuck over. "Who is it?"
"Paul." He growled deeply.
"Is Hidenrich there?" Hogan tried not to get nervous.
"No."
"Whew…."
"So, should we go?" Kurt looked up at Brock.
"No." Lesnar's eyes squinted. "Paul is mine." He crept around the corner and walked quietly down the locker room, throwing open the door.
"Oh!" Paul cried out as Lesnar backed him up against the wall. Kurt and Hogan wanted to see but the door had closed and locked behind them, and perhaps it was better that the duo didn't see.
"I can sense him."
"What?" Eddie turned to Edge as they walked.
"It's faint, but I sense John's energy signal." Edge concentrated on his focus.
"Are you positive?" Eddie stopped.
As did Edge, "Yea." He opened his eyes.
"Well? So where is he?" Eddie asked, but Edge didn't answer, all he did was look back around to where they'd come. Eddie realized and gasped, "No!"
"Fu, shun, ha!" Christian and Jeff Hardy preformed the technique and became Christian Hardy.
"I can't hold him off much longer!" Chris Benoit panted, struggling to hold the massive power back. Everyone else in the locker room had already been plowed down, even Flair and the divas. "Hurry up, aren't you done yet!"
"Yea." Christian Hardy jumped between them, causing Hidenrich to stop.
"So, are you this, all mighty power?"
"I guess. Why don't you find out for yourself?"
John cracked his knuckles, "Don't mind if I do." Pow!
"Ah!" Christian Hardy flew back first against the wall and fell through to the other side.
"Hey!" Dan cried from washing his hands, the fused wrestler had crashed through to the bathroom.
"Oh wow." Christian Hardy got up. "He's way to strong, much more powerful than I assumed."
"You know what you do, when you assume." Hidenrich loomed down at them.
He gulped, "You make an ass out of you and me?"
"No, you jump to a conclusion without any evidence towards an educated guess. Now that just makes an ass out of you." John kicked him hard, throwing him into one of the stalls, his head banging against the tile, knocking him out. John laughed, "And now you."
"What, how could you….!" Benoit gasped, seeing Christian Hardy already fallen. "Dan, get out of there! Go get help now!"
"Oh, right!" Dan scrambled from John and ran out the door.
"Go, hurry!" Benoit called as Dan continued to run. "Get Edge, get Eddie, hurry back, before it's too late." Benoit turned back to Hidenrich, who laughed, very amused. Benoit got into a battle pose, he knew he'd go down fighting. The powered down Christian Hardy diffused back into Jeff Hardy and Christian. He didn't stand a chance.
