Chapter 9: Dissension In The Ranks
It was the night after Survivor Series and the question is what is the condition of Jeff Hardy and John Cena.
Evolution came out to the ring, just the original 4 members and Stacy as they looked into the crowd and saw a lot of the fans with hatred with them. They looked and smiled cockily, as balloons and confetti poured out from the rafters.
"How could these guys celebrate over what they did last night?" Joey asked.
"They're actually proud of what they did." King said.
"Well they should be after all they won the match." Coach said.
"Oh yeah I'd be really proud of possibly ending people's careers." King answered back.
Evolution got into the ring that was covered in confetti and balloons, they had everything in the ring including the women, they were in their expensive suits and such just smiling and gloating. All the women flocked towards them except Randy who declined nicely, claiming to have the only woman he needed in Stacy, as they leaned back into the corner with Randy's arm around Stacy as they watched H grab the mic.
"You know how great it is to know that you've ended the career of the so called WWE Champion, it's the best felling in the world. Now I've got to give props and a thanks to Angle and Edge for helping us out, and especially for the MVPs first, Big Batista, this man was unstoppable in there, and proved why he is the most powerful man in this business. Also Randy Orton, the legend killer." Randy raises his hand in acknowledgment. "Randy was a star in that match, he was in there for the whole match, taking a pounding, getting beat up, he, like all of us, is wearing battle scars from that match, 20 plus stitches in his head, he couldn't even do his work in the bed last night as did all of us. But he did one thing that will be remembered, he ended the career and sent Jeff Hardy packing out of here. Now on to business at hand, Dusty get your fat ass out here!" HHH demanded.
"He's calling out the GM Dusty Rhodes, but for what?" Joey asked.
"I have no idea." King answered.
Dusty's music hit and out he came and stared at them and then walked towards the ring and stepped in.
"Dusty I'm here to demand that you give the title right now!"
"Why?"
"Because John Cena is incapacitated because of me and so I deserve the belt."
"Just because you stepped over the line by taking the Games way too far, you win that match with your own skills, not weapons or threatening their careers. You think you deserve the belt because of that! You don't deserve anything because of that! You've taken this situation too far, you don't deserve to even get a shot at the title!" Dusty was upset over the situation obviously.
"See there you're wrong see I'm a 10 time champion, you could never win that belt 10 times, you only won it what 2, 3 times you've been World Champion, you're not even close to be as good as me, you'll never be, and never will you could only wish to be as great as me." HHH said.
"Now, I'm going to keep my composure here, but see if it were my decision you would never come close to that title again, but see last night at the hospital I talked to John Cena, he's going to come back and he's determined to get back at you. He made a request, at Armageddon, John Cena has made a challenge to you, HHH, for a match and he's going to put up the WWE Championship on the line just to get a piece of you. So I didn't care about your answer because I made the match official, it will be HHH VS John Cena for the WWE Title at Armageddon!" Dusty announced as the crowd popped huge.
"Finally you did something right let's go."
"Hold up I'm not done with you, see it's not going to be that easy, before I let you sign the contract you must prove that you are worthy of being the number 1 contender tonight. It will be a fatal four-way match, it will be you, HHH VS HBK VS Shelton Benjamin VS The Big Show and the winner will get the shot at the title." HHH was pissed off as they tried to calm him down. "And Randy I've got something for you later on tonight." Randy and Stacy looked at each other confused as Dusty left leaving Evolution in the ring wondering and HHH pissed off.
Later in the evening, backstage John Cena's teammates from the other night, are in the locker room with Trish and Torrie and they all not happy with each other as they're all just arguing and yelling.
"If you just stayed on your feet, and stayed alert this wouldn't have happened!" Shelton said to Show.
"All you need to do was stay on task as well, but you gave up, you just stopped trying in there!" Show answered back.
"I was in there the longest, you're supposed to be this all powerful giant but you get knocked out easy." Shelton fired back.
"Torrie, you broke the pact that they had you had to end it, I could've stopped it when Jeff was in trouble but I didn't give it in, now Jeff's hurt with his throat and ribs both severely injured and I don't know when he's going to be back or when I will see him again." Trish said angrily at Torrie.
"I'm sorry, but John was in more trouble, last night he had a harder time breathing, he even lost his heart beat for a little bit last night, he took a worse beating than anyone last night." Torrie fired back.
"Well if you didn't stop the match, then he would've ended up in a worse place than the hospital I respect what you did." HBK said.
"Yeah but we lost, that's what mattered, she cost us the match, she's the reason why we lost, she cost me a chance at greatness." Shelton said.
"Maybe if tried harder than we would've won earlier." Show said.
"Same with you, you coasted out there and we lost." Shelton said.
"Quit it! Now we can't let this get to us." HBK said.
"Whatever, but tonight, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get a shot at the WWE Championship." Shelton said walking out.
"Same with me." Show said as he walked out, leaving HBK in there with the girls.
"You know I'll deal with you later but I've got things to do first." Trish said to Torrie as she walked out, Torrie looked at her and sighed and left HBK by himself looking on with disbelief.
In the GM office Dusty was sitting down, when Randy Orton and Stacy walked in with their usual cocky looks.
"What you Dust?" Randy asked.
"Yeah because we have uh, "business" to take care of." Stacy said looking at Randy rather seductively.
"Well I got a request written to me by Jeff Hardy, Trish handed it to me earlier."
"So where is she anyway I want to say something to her." Randy said.
"I'm right here." Trish said walking in.
"So Trish, how's your boyfriend?" Stacy asked as Trish looked at her with disgust.
"No, wait Stace, I can show her how he's doing." Randy said holding his throat and gagging, as they laughed over it, Trish was angry and wanted to do something.
"Now, shut up, both of you, I've something to say to you. See this letter is courtesy of Jeff Hardy, who is unable to speak for now and maybe for a couple of weeks, but he states that he too will be back, and he says for both of you to watch your backs because you won't know when he will strike."
"Oh I scared of the guy who paints himself and say speak perfect English anyway."
"Yeah, but I took it a step forward, see I've added another match at Armageddon, it will you vs. Jeff Hardy, no rules, no holds barred. Good luck you all have the night off, now get out." Randy and Stacy were upset, then barged out of there.
The main event was on and all 4 made their way to the ring. The three went after the Big Show trying to take the biggest one out first.
"Remember this is elimination rules, and they're obviously trying to get rid of the biggest threat in the match." Joey explained.
"That's smart strategy." King said.
"Also it is no DQ, so they could do whatever they want to get rid of him." Coach explained.
HHH, HBK and Shelton took their shots to take him down, HHH grabbed a chair and nailed him, but he was still standing, then another that staggered him, then another and he was almost down and the chair was bent then Shawn came in and gave him sweet chin music to the face and got him down and they piled on him and got the 3 and eliminated him.
"We are down to 3 for the number one contender-ship for the WWE Title."
The 3 left were going at it back and forth for several minutes until HHH was knocked down leaving HBK and Shelton to battle it out. Benjamin went for the T-Bone but it was countered, HBK tried to hit sweet chin music but it was blocked and Benjamin nailed a clothesline. Benjamin went for the T-Bone again but again it was blocked and Shawn got in a small package and got the 3 to eliminate Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin was not happy and was arguing with the ref, as HHH got up and HBK nailed him with the usual and was setting up for Sweet Chin Music. Shelton, who had walked half way up the ramp came back in and turned around and nailed him with his own superkick to knock HBK out as the crowd showed their disapproval towards him as he walked out.
"What the hell was that? What is Benjamin's problem?"
"He wanted to win, and Shawn apparently ruined it for him and it shows the dissension from the lost of War Games."
HHH crawled over and picked him up and gave him a pedigree for good measure made the cover and got the win.
"HHH is the number 1 contender for the WWE title at Armageddon."
HHH raised his hand as Flair came in and raised it, when all of a sudden The Time Is Now started playing and they looked on with fear and shock and crowd was going wild in anticipation.
"Is he here? I thought he was out for a while."
"Well I guess he's here after all, he's not going to wait till Armageddon"
They waited and waited until someone came out, that someone was Batista dressed as John Cena and mocking his every move. HHH and Flair started laughing but Batista raised his finger as if he had one more surprise he went back and came.
What he brought out brought everyone to shock and silence, as he dragged out a bloody and unconscious Torrie Wilson, Batista dragged her with one hand.
HHH looked in the camera and said, "Cena that belt is mine, but I've taken something more valuable away from you." He said as he pointed the camera up the ramp where Batista was holding Torrie and smiling as the image closed out the show.
A/N: Done, hope you like that awkward twist into this story, now with Torrie and John hurt they will be limited in the next I'd say 2 chapters, as the story will focus on Randy and Stacy's story with Trish and Jeff. Anyway review and hope you like it.
