Chapter 16
Title: Total Nonstop Invasion
Show: TNA Saturday Night Impact (1/28/2006)
Summary: In his Total Nonstop Action Impact "debut", Randy Orton conjures up an interesting plan with the Latin American Exchange team.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new NWA Heavyweight Champion, 'the Legend Killer' Randy Orton!"

A new music theme then came on, or so it seems. For those who watch the French animated series "Code Lyoko", the music that came on was actually the long no-lyrics version of its theme song, "A World Without Danger". He came out to the cheers of the world and smiled on top of the Impact Zone stage, doing his pose there with the fireworks for the first time. The fans received him pretty well, considering he's unseeded Jeff Jarrett from the NWA Heavyweight Championship, which is proudly around the well-suited Legend Killer's waist.

"There he is!" Mike Tenay exclaimed from the announcer's table. "The Legend Killer and new NWA Heavyweight Champion of the World, Randy Orton! He made his mark as the youngest WWE Champion in history, and here he is at TNA, the quickest NWA Champion in history by far, about five seconds following his first instant in a TNA ring!"

"Just when it seemed Christian Cage had finally unseeded the NWA Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett, this special insert from WWE came into the ring and proved himself instantly to be TNA's best, or TNA's smartest, which is why he's the Champion," his broadcast partner Don West spoke as Randy held his World Championship high in the air from one of the six turnbuckles of the TNA ring.

"You hear the people cheering for Randy Orton out here, and he knows probably even more than anyone else that he may have made some mistakes with the WWE, but this is time for a fresh start!" Tenay added.

"You know there's more Superstars in the back that can attest to this very statement," West said in agreement with his colleague. Finally, the golden light and the music faded out, and Orton got a TNA microphone for the first time ever.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the Legend Killer and fastest NWA Heavyweight Champion ever, Randy Orton!" he proudly proclaimed, to much positive fanatic acclaim. "Now, I know that a lot of you fans may know me from WWE, and don't be ashamed to admit it, but if you're a pure wrestling fan, you watch them too, so you know who I am, and you know all about some of the things I've done in the WWE. You also know about the embarrassment I suffered last night, and many of you may think I'm actually bitter at Vince McMahon for firing me. But no, I'm not. He was right to fire me. Because I am officially TNA now! (cheers all abound) And I'm gonna tell you right now, it's good to know that Eddie Guerrero's low rider isn't staring me right in the face to be used for a trap or anything like that. It's also good to know that none of the WWE's skanky Divas, and I mean each and every one of them, are there to distract me from my goals and desires. It is equally good to know that the member of the Awesomeness dynasty that I'm actually in the same company and locker room as isn't the one who screwed his other best friend by lying, cheating, and stealing in a completely immoral and unfunny way. (yeah!) But although I'm not bitter at anyone for letting me go, I'm not afraid of anyone. And if you all thought me being the quickest NWA Heavyweight Champion ever was a big, shocking accomplishment, then you ain't seen nothin' yet. I've got a plan to bring several TNA Superstars with me to raid the Royal Rumble pay-per-view just south of us in Miami, Florida. (high mixed reactions) Again, it's not to be bitter. It's to send a message to WWE. It's to send the message that TNA is for real! (yeah!) Now, I'm gonna go to the back and recruit a-"

The lights faded out, and the entrance music that blared was that of "Captain Charisma" Christian Cage. Once the lights cleared up, we saw Christian at the center of the ramp, with his back turned. He then turned around and did that kiss to the Peeps thing again, and they were all cheering throughout his entrance. Christian then rushed into the ring, went up on one of the turnbuckles, and signaled to his Peeps once more, receiving many cheers and "CHRISTIAN!" chants.

"Okay, Christian. Let's make this quick. Whattya got to say?" Orton quickly asked as Christian got his microphone.

"Well, it's real simple. It was decided by the Championship Committee that you, Randy Orton, will be defending your NWA Heavyweight Championship in the main event at the Against All Odds pay-per-view coming up February 12th, 2006, live from right here in the Impact Zone at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, against the only and only, Captain Charisma! Christian Cage!" the straight-edge Canadian of TNA announced, leading to a burst of cheers. "And even though I've gotta commend you on something called being a really opportunistic bastard like somebody else we know except different, I would like to openly state that I don't like you! And that at Against All Odds, Christian Cage will finally realize his destiny. You call yourself the Man of Destiny? Well, I call myself the next NWA Heavyweight Champion, cause that's how I roll!"

Christian is in! His music rings loud, and he and Orton are staring each other down, ready for their confrontation in fifteen days. The fans cheer at the scene before them.

Later on, after the commercial break…

"I'm gonna bring TNA to the Royal Rumble, man. Isn't it great? Catch ya later. Bye," Orton said, before being met by TNA interviewer Shane Douglas.

"Okay, I'm Shane Douglas, and I'm here to get a statement out of Randy Orton, the Legend Killer, over what just happened in the ring. First, your thoughts on Christian Cage challenging you at Against All Odds for the NWA Heavyweight Championship."

"I promise you, my first Championship reign here at TNA is gonna last a lot longer than a month. I am not a transitional champion like Christian's little friend, and I will beat Christian Cage at Against All Odds '06. And my friend, that's not a fluke. It's destiny," Randy boasted, using an old line he said before.

"But also, what were you saying about a plan to bring Total Nonstop Action to the WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view?" Douglas asked the Legend Killer.

"Do I really need to answer that? It's real plain and simple. TNA is for real, and I intend to prove it at the Royal Rumble. I'm gonna find three guys that can help me take TNA to WWE, big time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go find-"

"HEY!" a voice blared, cutting off Randy Orton. He turned behind him to find Konnan, along with his Latin American Exchange boys, Homicide and Apolo. "Look over here, Randy. I'm here, and I'm ready to go take TNA to WWE. You see, before the whole thing with the 3 Live Kru and the James Gang really got outta hand, I tried to get a benefit performance goin' for Eddie Guerrero's family. TNA was all for honorin' Latino Heat. But his own company, WWE, Vince McMahon said no cause he didn't have the balls to send out Rey Mysterio, the Mexicools, and Chavo Guerrero to come out and honor our late great friend, and the show ended up bein' cancelled for not havin' enough of Eddie's old friends. As you can figure, I've been wantin' to kick Vince McMahon's ass for a long time. Me an' my boys, Homicide and Apolo, we can get the job done. For TNA, and for EG. So whaddya say? We in?"

After a little contemplation, Randy Orton said looks like we've got a deal, and he shook hands with each of the LAX thugs. The four then headed for their plane to Miami, Konnan's crew receiving cheers for the first time in a little while.
