CH 39
The arena rose to their feet as the Undertaker and Lisa were announced. Undertaker walked down the ramp with Lisa by his side. He protectively watched over her as she stepped in front of him heading for the ring stairs as he climbed in the ring. He held the ropes for her as she climbed in. They acknowledged the fans making the crowd go even wilder. As Molly Holly and Chris Jericho made their way to the ring Undertaker leaned on the ropes watching them with menacing eyes as Lisa stayed by his side ready for the fight resting her hand on his back.
"The Undertaker and Lisa look very comfortable with one another lately. It is surprising that only a few weeks ago she had slapped him in the face," Jim Ross commented as Undertaker glanced at Lisa giving her a half smile. "They really seem to be a strong team."
"That could be the reason Hunter has a problem with his girlfriend being with Taker," The King said as Taker backed off the ropes turning his attention to Lisa.
"You could be right King, I'm sure Hunter is watching this match very closely," Jim stared at the ring as the match was about to begin.
"Let's take care of these two fast baby girl," Taker said to her shrugging back his shoulders as she happily nodded in agreement. When Molly hesitated coming into the ring Lisa went after her dragging her into the ring while Taker dealt with Jericho slamming him into the ring stairs repeatedly. Taker and Lisa were destroying Molly and Jericho. Jericho finally got some control back when he blindsided Lisa knocking her to the mat. He grabbed her by the hair pulling her to her feet when Taker knocked him down from behind freeing Lisa to climb to the top turnbuckle. She waited till Taker set Jericho up then she flew hitting him hard. She turned her attention to keeping Molly out of the ring as Taker covered Jericho for the pin. Molly turned the tables on Lisa at the moment slamming her into ring apron hard. Molly kept her from sinking to her knees hitting her full force into the apron again. Undertaker quickly got out of the ring going to his partner's aid. Molly had Lisa by the hair about to slam her again when Taker came around the ring staring her down. Molly immediately threw Lisa into Taker running for the back. Undertaker held onto to Lisa as she recovered from the assault.
"That looks a little too cozy," The King commented as Taker ran his hand under Lisa's chin.
"You ok?" Taker asked her as she nodded yes. "Good, let's get you out of here," Taker picked her up starting up the ramp as planned when all hell suddenly broke lose.
Undertaker was to the middle of the ramp with Lisa when Hunter came out of nowhere with his sledgehammer hitting Taker square in the back with it. Taker fell forward dropping Lisa onto the ramp as Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler looked in shock knowing this wasn't part of the show.
"Lisa, get the hell out here now!" Taker groaned trying to get back to his feet as Hunter posed himself over Taker again ready to lower the hammer on his back. Lisa quickly got to her feet pushing Hunter with all her strength.
"Stop don't do this," Lisa yelled as Hunter kicked Mark grabbing Lisa roughly by the back of the neck.
"This is your ultimatum you come with me now and get rid of this piece of shit forever or I will destroy him in front of your eyes while you watch helplessly. Don't even think anyone will come to the rescue," Hunter sneered at her as she squirmed. "Let's just say most of your help is locked up nice and tight."
"I'm not leaving with you," Lisa stared up at Hunter going close to him talking only loud enough for him to hear. "Stop making this personal what happens out of work doesn't need to be brought here in front of the fans."
"The fans love this they think its part of the entertainment. The big grand finale come on angel," Hunter overpowered her pulling her up the ramp.
"You're not taking her anywhere!" Taker was back to his feet coming full force at Hunter ready to slam him into the backdrop of the stage. At the last moment right before the collision Hunter pulled Lisa in front of him stepping out of the way. Taker couldn't stop he hit her with all his force crushing her into the framework around the entrance. Lisa was filled with instant intense pain.
"No!" Taker cried out as she gasped trying to get her air back.
"Oh yes, you're hurting her now," Hunter taunted Taker. Taker was beside himself holding Lisa against him as she recovered from the blow. He didn't hear Hunter's words all he could concentrate on was she was hurt because of him.
"Mark, I'm ok," Lisa whispered against his chest looking up into his eyes. Hunter used the moment to grab the sledgehammer going back up the ramp towards Taker.
"Hunter, please stop!" Lisa yelled to him as he got closer to them. She swallowed her fear getting between Hunter and Taker resting her hands on Paul's chest. "Paul, it is enough just walk away," Lisa tried to reason with him as she glanced over her shoulder seeing Taker's rage in his eyes.
"Only if you're coming with me. If you're not than move out of the way so I can finish him off cause if I can't have you then neither can he," Hunter grabbed her chin roughly. "It's your choice angel."
"She already told you her choice," Taker wrapped his arm around Lisa pulling her closely against him. "You will walk away now or you'll be leaving on a stretcher."
"Fine, I'm leaving but this isn't over," Hunter put his hands up backing away. Lisa breathed a sigh of relief as Hunter walked away. She turned burying her face in Taker's chest as he led her to the back.
"He is going to pay dearly one of these days," Mark held her closer as they went to get her medical attention.
"Hey Mark, I forgot to give you something," Paul's voice echoed through the arena as Lisa turned first seeing the gleam of the chair aiming right for Mark.
"No!" she pushed Mark taking the blow. Mark was stunned seeing it all play in front of his eyes in slow motion. Paul threw the chair down with tears in his eyes as Lisa dropped to her knees.
"Baby girl, why did you do that?" Mark got tears in his eyes pulling her close sheltering her. "Are you ok?"
"I don't know," Lisa said through her tears.
"Oh God, what have I done," Paul turned pale white trying to touch Lisa as Mark pushed him away knocking him almost to the floor as Vince came onto the scene. Mark gently let Lisa go slamming Paul into a nearby wall. He had enough of Paul's antics this was the last straw. Mark couldn't stop punching Paul as security surrounded them separating them.
"Mark, its enough," Vince yelled separating the two men.
"You better get him out of here unless you want him to die tonight," Mark was furious trying his best to control his temper.
"Paul, leave the building now and don't show up for work till I contact you," Vince angrily said. "I have had enough first you attack Stephanie now you're attacking Lisa and Mark. I won't stand for it."
"I wasn't the one that attacked Stephanie," Paul glared at Vince. "I am responsible for this and hurting Lisa but I didn't touch Stephanie I swear on my pitiful life. Angel, I didn't mean to hurt you I'm so sorry please look at me."
Lisa refused to look at Paul as security dragged him out of the building. She gathered her strength looking at Vince.
"This ends tonight this can't happen anymore," Lisa raised her voice. "You have to tell us what he has on you now." Vince let out a frustrated sigh.
"You need to get medical attention first then we will talk," Vince stared from her to Mark.
"Wait we have to find John, Glen, and Adam," Lisa said as Mark picked her up.
"Vince will find them. You are getting checked out now," Mark firmly said.
"I will have security search the arena," Vince was distracted knowing his family's secret would have to be revealed to prevent this chaos from happening again.
Mark was pacing frantically as he waited for Lisa to come out of x-ray. He couldn't believe she had taken the blow for him and even worse he had hurt her by slamming into her. His thoughts were broken by the pat on his shoulder.
"Hey, how is she? Vince filled us in," Glen looked at Mark seeing the heartache in his eyes.
"I don't know yet. Her back was already bothering her. I'm sure her being rammed into the stage by me didn't make it any better," Mark sighed as Adam and John joined them. "What happened to you three?"
"Paul lured the three of us with a note from Vince into a production truck that wasn't in use. He locked us in there then moved the thing so no one could hear us yelling," Adam deeply sighed. "We are a bunch of stupid idiots."
"I can't wait to get my hands on Paul," John wrung his hands.
"You're going to have to wait for awhile Vince told him not to come to work for the rest of the week," Mark wanted to get his hands on Paul too.
"Hopefully he will suspend Paul forever," Lisa's voice made them all perked up. Mark's heart ached when he saw her arm in a sling.
"Are you ok?" Mark whispered touching her cheek.
"My back was reinjured. I have to come back in a week to get it checked out. There was no sign of any fractures to my arm. The doctor thinks it's sprained and wants me to wear the sling till the swelling and soreness go away some," Lisa paused looking up into Mark's eyes. "I'm out of ring action for at lease 6 weeks."
"I'm sorry sweetheart I should have stopped myself from running into you," Mark caressed her cheek.
"Mark, there was no way you could have stopped in time," Lisa comforted him. "I'll be ok in a few weeks."
"You will still be traveling with us right?" John asked hugging his sister.
"I will try to," Lisa half smiled seeing the disappointment in Mark's eyes.
"Hi guys, sorry it took so long to get here. How are you doing Lisa?" Vince came into the waiting room making them all tense up.
"I'm pretty banged up. I'm out of action for 6 weeks," Lisa filled him in.
"I still want you to be the storylines just no wrestling," Vince smiled at her.
"No way, not unless you can guarantee her safety," Mark spoke up putting his arm around Lisa.
"I have suspended Paul for a few weeks till he gets counseling," Vince hoped that would satisfy Mark and Lisa.
"That's real nice but you still have some explaining to do. I still want to know what Paul has on you and if it involves my sister Christina," Lisa stared at Vince as he fidgeted.
"I'm not going to discuss this here and now. I have dealt with Paul for now," Vince was getting nervous.
"For now but in a few weeks he will be back to his nonsense," John angrily said. "Out with Vince what does he have on you? Are you sleeping with Christina? Is that what the big secret is?"
"No, I'm not sleeping with her," Vince started to back away from the group. "I can't talk about this. I won't discuss this. Good night." Vince rushed out the door as Mark kissed Lisa's cheek before going after Vince joining him in the elevator. Mark grabbed him around the collar pushing him into against the elevator wall.
"Mark, let me go now!" Vince stuttered.
"I just want to warn you Vince anything else happens to Lisa I'm holding you directly responsible. I will make your life a living hell till you fess up and tell us what Paul has got on you. So think about that Vince and decide what is best for your health," Mark let him go as the elevator opened. Mark gave Vince a menacing stare before exiting the elevator.
