"Eddie!" Edge called to the Guerrero. "Please, be careful. All I need is five minutes."
"Yea, yea, I got you Edge." Eddie turned back to the task at hand. Edge still wasn't used to being called by his name with Eddie.
"You think you can last five minutes with me?" Hidenriech laughed.
"Five minutes is more than enough time I need to get the job done."
"Oh then I say, by all means, prove me wrong."
"Wait, wasn't that somebody else's catch phrase?" Edge looked up in thought.
"Now is not the time!" Eddie spat back. "Focus man!"
"Oh yea, right, sorry."
"Ugh…" Eddie once again turned to John. "Alright then." He powered up to full power and charged at his opponent. "Take, THAT!" He socked him right on the side of the face and gasped, it did nothing, his fist was rammed into his cheek, but John stood as if nothing had happened.
"Oh now." Edge gasped to himself in shock, Eddie still frozen.
"Now, my turn." Hidenriech smirked and punched Eddie, sending him flying onto the desk in the room and topple over onto the chair behind it.
"Eddie!" Edge cried and growled to himself, was he alright, would he last?
"I'm ok, I'm fine, I'm getting up." Eddie raised a hand and used it to lift himself up off the ground with the table. He was already panting.
"Wow, and you expect to outlast five minutes?" John laughed.
"Shut your mouth you son of a bitch, you're wasting our oxygen." Eddie growled.
John Hidenriech frowned, "I'm only human. And so are you." He rushed over and punched Eddie in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him, then grabbed him by the neck and held him up high, strangling him. "I will break you."
"No." Eddie choked, trying to sound fearsome.
"Eddie." Edge growled to himself. "No, he's not going to make it! Come on buddy, just two more minutes, that's all I ask!"
"I have to do this…" Eddie panted to himself, his vision was getting blurry. "This is my time, it's my Judgment Day. If I can't do this, if Edge isn't ready for this, then everyone is doomed. And I can't let that happen, not on my watch." Eddie choked, trying to move but he was already too weak. "Dah, darn it…" He growled to himself, facing down the sinister smirk of Hidenriech. "Jeff, Chyna…. Everyone…" He could see them when he closed his eyes. "I'm doing this…. For you." He opened his eyes and got hold of his second wind, bring all of it out from deep down. "AH!"
"Wow!" Hidenriech shielded his eyes as he was blasted back from the explosion.
"Eddie!" Edge cried. Finally the smoke began to clear from the rubble. Edge looked around, "Did he do it?"
Hidenriech got up, "What a pointless attempt, what the hell was that?"
"No, Eddie…" Edge gasped and looked around, seeing his body laying on the ground.
"Edge… I, I'm sorry." He gasped for air, drained of all energy. "I couldn't, last…" He was rendered unconscious, he barely had the strength to keep awake and speak.
"Eddie, you gave all you power to try and save me, save us, to protect the ones you love…" Edge groaned and got to his feet, John leered at him. "I won't let your sacrifice be in vain, nobody's sacrifices will! Not you, not Jericho, nobody! I will bring you down John Hidenriech, I will bring you to the true justice!" Edge exploded into full power. "Thank you Eddie, thank you for that five minutes. And now I'll give you your five minutes, for I really can get the job done in less."
"It was fun with him, how bout I give you one free shot as well?"
"How very kind of you, kind and foolish!" Edge's fist glowed as he reached back, bolted forward and punched him in the same cheek Eddie did.
"Ah!" Hidenriech flew threw walls and out to the parking lot where he took out at least six cars on the way to the concrete riser.
Edge came out and stood on the steps, "Now whose the cocky bastard eh?"
"Not, I friend." John looked up, already cut and battered and bleeding.
Edge frowned, "I'll give you one last chance."
"Those are your last words, I will make you eat them."
"No thanks." Edge dodged the surprise attack, causing Hidenriech to growl with frustration. "I'm on a diet!" He powered up again and shot a beam out of both hands, it hit strait on. Edge began to pant, "Darn it, I'm already growing tired, maybe five minutes wasn't enough?"
"Hey Champ!"
"Huh, what that voice, it's…!" Edge turned around.
Hulk Hogan ran into the garage, "I'm here to help you!"
"Hulk, go check on Eddie, he's seriously injured!"
"But you need help! I want to help you!"
"We all do." Both Hogan and Edge turned at this new voice.
"Benoit, but what are you…?"
"As do I."
"Jericho!"
"You can count us all in."
"Guys…" Edge's eyes shook as he saw everyone come out and stand behind Hulk Hogan.
"We're all here for you." He spoke back up. "And we want you to know that."
Edge smiled, "Thank you, guys."
"If you're quite done now with this PSA, your time for paid programming is over." Hidenriech ended the moment.
"Guys, I can do this, but I need your help." Edge leered at his opponent. "I need you to give me all your energy. All of you!"
"Right." Kurt Angle nodded.
"No, all of you. I need the fans help too, the other wrestlers and divas, the staff, everyone! We all have to work together to do this."
"Is he really that strong?" Chris Benoit asked.
"Yes, and I can't take any chances."
"Right then, you can count on me to rally the troops." Hulk Hogan nodded, he ran down the halls, telling everyone he ran into to spread the word, then he went out to the ring with a mic. "Fans, Edge needs you, I need you, we all need your help, please! Offer up your energy to Edge so he can defeat John Hidenriech!"
"Hidenriech?" One fan turned to another.
"Our energy, what is this some kinda joke?" Another laughed, soon others joined in.
"Darn, they're not buying it. Why won't this work?" Hogan growled.
"Everyone, please." The voice on the speakers was tired.
Edge gasped, he could hear it from the garage, "Eddie!"
Eddie Guerrero appeared on the screen, everyone cringed in the audience when they saw him, "John did this to me, Edge is the only one who can save us all. Edge is battling with him as we speak, but he can't do this alone. We superstars need you, the fans, more than you could ever possibly imagine. So, please, I beg of…" He passed out before he could finish, causing the fans to start to panic and get worried.
"Whoa man, this crap is real!" A girl fan screamed.
"No, don't worry." Hogan growled through gritted teeth, he'd never gotten pissed with the fans before, but they were starting to act stupid and that pushed his buttons.
"People, please!" Chris Jericho appeared wearily at the top of the ramp with a microphone in hand. "I'm asking you as your Champion, please do this, Edge, me, the rest of us, Hogan! We're all asking for your help, please…." He groaned and held his ribs, it was a strain to talk.
One of the other fans in the audience sight, "Come on guys, let's just do this."
"Alright then." Another one added.
Hogan smiled over at Jericho and nodded, "Thanks Champ."
Jericho meekly held up a peace sign, "Sure, any time Hulkster…"
Edge was receiving everyone's energy, he panted as he put his hands together, forming the light greenish ball of power,would it be enough to finally put down John?
