Hey guys! This is everyone's least favorite story returning from the dead! ;-) Just joking. I'm so happy you guys are patient enough to wait 2 years for me to finish this story! I've waited 1 year to have the time to finish it! Just wanted to let you hear some good news. After this chapter, there are 2 more and this story is completed! The next chapter is kinda long... But the last one is only one page hand written. It's short, I promise! Enjoy!
When Will It End?
Armageddon 2003
Shane walked around backstage feeling pissed off and upset. He still couldn't believe what happened 6 days prior to Armageddon on Raw. He felt upset for Shawn Michaels and pissed off at Kane for what he did. He couldn't wait for the next hour to pass so he could beat Kane's ass and get the revenge that Shawn deserves. Actually, he just couldn't wait to beat Kane's ass. There were a lot of people who want some sort of revenge on Kane.
While mentally writing a list of those who wanted revenge on Kane, Shane turned the corner of the hallway and crashed right into his brother in law Triple H. Both men rubbed their heads. "Sorry, bro... Anyways... I wanted to introduce you to Evolution's new member, Dave Batista. I'm sure you remember him from earlier this year, right? Anyway, Dave, this is my brother in law Shane McMahon." Triple H stated, introducing the two men. "Nice to meet you, Dave. I remember you from earlier this year. Sorry I didn't have time to meet you then. I was pretty busy." Shane told Batista. "No problem, Shane. It's nice to meet you, too. Let us know if you need any help with that psycho Kane later on. We're more then happy to help you." Batista offered as Shane shook his head.
Just then, Ric Flair and Randy Orton came up from behind Shane. "Hey, Paul! I finally get to see you! How's Michael... I mean Shawn doing!" Ric shouted. Randy chuckled. "Why do you insist on calling him 'Michael' and not Shawn? Yeah, I know... He was born Michael... But he grew up Shawn. Call him by the name that he wants people to know him as, Ric." He explained. "Anyway... I don't know. I haven't heard from him. I tried calling his wife but there's no answer. I finally know why we can't get in touch with him," Triple H started. "Why's that?" Shane asked. Triple H pulled a cell phone out of his pocket. "This is Shawn's. He must've left it with me last Monday. He never got it back." He replied.
Shane looked at the cell phone. "That really sucks. There's no way of finding out what's wrong with him now." He stated. Ric and Randy nodded their heads. "I don't think anything's wrong with him, Shane. I mean... Come on... It's Shawn Michaels we're talking about here." Randy exclaimed. "There was something wrong with him last Monday." Batista pointed out. Triple H's face grew red with anger. "Listen here, guys... If anybody knows Shawn, it's me. I've known him for about 10 years so far. There's something wrong. If his wife isn't home taking care of their son, there's something up." He angrily shouted.
"Ok... I get it. I have to go anyways. See you guys later." Shane stated and walked away from the group. Triple H continued fighting with Evolution. Batista, however, stood against a wall and watched. "See ya!" He shouted after Shane. Shane walked the long, annoying hallways until he arrived at his locker room. He walked in and saw Marissa crying on the couch. Shane walked over to the couch and sat down next to her.
"Rissa? What's wrong? What are you doing here?" Shane asked. Marissa looked up at him and wiped the tears from her face. "Kane... He knows... About everything! He... He made me tell him about the baby! I'm so sorry, Shane..." She sobbed and cried harder. Shane gave her a sympathetic look and hugged her. Steve Austin knocked on the door twice and walked in. "Well I hope I'm not interrupting anything, Shane... But your match... It's up next." He stated and watched as Shane kissed Marissa on the cheek and left the room. Steve wanted to call after him to talk to him, ask him what the story was with Marissa. But he didn't. He turned around and walked back to where Evolution was gathered with Rob Van Dam. They finally stopped fighting and started talking like civilized human beings.
Final Encounter
Love Her or Leave Her Inferno Match
Shane McMahon vs. Kane
Shane and Kane stood in the ring for a few minutes staring each other down. Shane took his eyes off of Kane a few times to stare at the fire that surrounded the ring every 2 minutes. Kane growled at Shane. "I know about everything, you son of a bitch. I want to know something else, though. What is this surprise that you have in store for me?" Kane asked. Shane rolled his eyes. "What's the fun of it being a surprise if I tell you?" He asked cockily. Kane growled again and kicked Shane in the face to start the match off.
Kane bent over and started to choke Shane. "I told you so many times that there is NOTHING in this world that can stop me!" He shouted in an angry tone. Shane kicked him in the groin for a low blow. He looked around and realized there was no referee in the ring. "I don't know who would be crazy enough to officiate this match, J.R. But we need a referee out here before this match gets TOO out of hand!" Jerry Lawler screamed. "I know, King. I thought Charles Robinson was going to officiate this match. I guess I was wrong..." J.R stated. Just as he finished his sentence, Steve Austin's music hit and he came out on his 4x4. He had a mic in hand. "I see there is no official for this match... I guess I'll have to fix that... I want to introduce to you the referee for this match-up. Please welcome... Triple H!" Steve shouted as Triple H waltzed out of the backstage area with a referee shirt on. He headed to the ring with the crowd completely behind him. He got in and starred down Kane. "You're gonna pay for what you did to Shawn, you rotten son of a bitch!" He shouted.
"Oh my God! The World Heavyweight Champion is the referee for this match!" J.R shouted. Jerry looked at him in shock. "I'm in shock, too, J.R! This is insane! I guess Triple H is still looking for some revenge for Shawn Michaels! What Kane did to him last Monday was completely wrong..." His voice trailed off as he re-lived the moment in his mind, watching from the commentary booth as Shawn Michaels spit up his own blood in the ring. He shook it off. Shane and Kane pounded on each other some more, with Triple H watching them. Steve Austin had parked his 4x4 ringside so he saw everything. Kane picked Shane up and held his face towards the ropes, waiting for the fire. Triple H came up from behind Kane and low-blowed him. Then, he and Shane worked together to toss Kane over the top rope, setting Kane's arm on fire. Triple H sounded for the bell. "Here is your winner, Shane McMahon!" Lillian Garcia shouted over a microphone.
"By God! Shane McMahon did it! I don't believe it, King!" J.R shouted. Marissa ran down to the ring to celebrate with Shane. She passed by Kane, who was angrily beating his arm. She jumped into the ring and hugged Shane. "How cute, J.R! Marissa is celebrating with her ex-husband!" Jerry stated. At that moment, blue lights lit the arena and the Undertaker's old song echoed over the loud speakers. Fans cheered in shock, as Triple H, Shane, Marissa and Steve Austin starred at the Titan Tron.
"Could it be...? Is it the Undertaker, King," J.R paused, watching in shock as the Undertakers figure appeared on the ramp. Kane stood in shock as the Undertakers figure walked towards him. "Oh my God! It's the Undertaker!" J.R continued. "Oh my God! Kane better run!" Jerry shouted. Steve, Triple H, Shane and Marissa watched as Undertaker beat on Kane, then chokeslammed him off the Titan Tron. Undertaker joined them in the ring and they all raised their arms in victory.
"Oh my God! The Undertaker was the surprise that Shane McMahon was talking about!" J.R shouted in shock. "This war is finally over; J.R. Shane McMahon won back his ex wife with a little help from his buddy Triple H. All I have to say is... Kane deserved it!" Jerry shouted.
Backstage
Shane McMahon's Locker room
The 5 made their way backstage and to Shane's locker room. Triple H had a surprise inside. Shane opened the door to see Shawn Michaels sitting on the couch! "Oh my God, Shawn!" Triple H shouted and ran to his long time best friend and gave him a hug. Shawn hugged him back and smiled. "Aww... Triple H loves me..." He laughed. Shane's jaw almost fell to the ground. "You speak?" He shouted in shock. Shawn nodded his head yes and smiled at Shane.
"Oh my God we were so worried about you," Triple H started and sat down next to Shawn. "Yeah, I know. I tend to do that a lot to people, you know. I'm a professional wrestler. It comes with the job. Anyway... I'm really sorry for scaring you. I would've said something but..." Shawn stopped talking after giving a goofy face. "Well thank God you can talk now." Triple H stated. "Since when did you love to say God?" Shane asked his brother in law. "It comes with being a good friend of Shawn's." Steve sarcastically stated, getting an odd look from Shawn and Triple H. Nobody quite knew or understood the relationship between the two. The Undertaker understood it, but not as much as people like Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.
"I guess it does, doesn't it?" Shawn sarcastically asked. "Well if anyone spent as much time as I did around a religious person like you, they'd understand. Anyway, we're really glad to have you back and to know that you're ok..." Triple H stated and hugged Shawn again. "You two behave better then me and my brothers." Steve sarcastically stated. He didn't want to be mean, but it was true. "That's because they practically are brothers." Shane pointed out. "Yeah. They've been together ever since the day they met, which was probably about 8 years ago. They've been unseperatable ever since then." Undertaker stated.
"I'm so glad you guys talk about us like we aren't even sitting here," Triple H sarcastically stated. "No, Paul. They're right. We are like brothers and we are unseperatable ever since the day we met. They speak the truth." Shawn replied. "Yeah... I know..." Triple H finished and looked down at the floor. "Anyways, I'm glad this stupid war between you and my brother is over so I can beat his ass. Thanks for workin' on his mind, Shane-O. I better get going. I got some planning to do, if you know what I mean." Undertaker stated, winked and left the room. Steve looked at Shane, Shawn, Triple H and Marissa. "Yeah. It's about time this damn war is over. You can finally get on with your lives." Steve stated and gently pushed Shane to Marissa. He laughed and left.
"Yeah, you two are finally free to do what you want without Kane breathing down your backs. Just get a hotel room if you're going to do anything... You know..." Shawn stated and winked at Shane. Triple H whacked Shawn in the head. "You're such an ass... Did you know that?" Triple H asked Shawn and smiled. Shawn put a hand to his head and rubbed it gently. He nodded his head, giving Triple H an odd look. "Both of you are asses." Marissa stated, joking around. Shawn nodded his head and got a weird look on his face and ran out of the room. "Uh... Shawn?" Shane asked, but it was too late. Shawn was already long gone down the hall. Triple H looked at his brother in law and his ex in an odd way and slowly followed Shawn.
"What the hell was that all about?" Marissa asked as she and her husband sat on the couch. Shane looked down at her. "I don't know, sweetie... Let's just talk about us... We could always find out what's wrong later... Let's talk." Shane stated. The two got into a very long conversation about how things could be if Kane never attacked Shane that one night back in November. The two heard some commotion that sounded a lot like Triple H screaming for help. They ignored it and figured that they could figure out what happened later on or before Raw. All that mattered to them was each other.
Preview December 15, 2003: Shane and Marissa continue to forgive each other and it ends in a very romantic way during Raw. However, Kane doesn't take his loss very well and decides to attack the two people he thinks are responsible. Contains the surprise return of a Superstar.
