ATM: Seth and the God Girls – A Whole New World
Bianca Belair and the God Girls have a hard time convincing Becky Lynch to stay after hearing that her plans to marry Finn Balor might be put on hold until Bayley brings Sasha Banks back from Saudi Arabia.
Chapter Seven – The Bear Inside
The Royal Palace, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
The royal palace was covered in shattered glass as bomb after bomb went off over the heads of Sasha, Bayley and Queen Melina. The three women were covered by Shawl, Seth's trusty prayer shawl who was doing his best to protect them. However, Shawl couldn't be in two places at once and while he was protecting Bayley, Sasha and Queen Melina, Faith Star and Abiyah Rollins were in the royal bedroom by themselves. The bombs shattered the glass of every window in the palace and Faith Star was finding it impossible to get Abiyah to sleep during the attack. She pulled her curly blond bangs out of her face and exhaled deeply.
"I have got to get you down for your nap, who do these terrorists think they are?" Faith Star said. The DX kid took her babysitting duties very seriously. "Aunty Boss has got so much on her plate right now, the last thing she needs to deal with is you being up late."
Abiyah yawned and nodded his head in agreement while resting on his blue bear. Another bomb went off and Faith Star had heard enough. "Oh that's it!" she cried and she walked over to the palace window that was blown through. "Hey!" she cried. "A beautiful baby boy is trying to sleep in here, can we please hold off on the bombing until tomorrow?!"
Sasha, Bayley and Queen Melina heard the noise of a little girl talking and they exchanged glances.
"Was that Faith Star?!" Queen Melina asked Sasha who nodded.
"I bet she's still trying to get Abiyah to bed. I was hoping my Blue Thunder would have scared them off by now. It really is passed my baby's bedtime," she said.
"They keep coming back for more, we need to really scare them so they stop coming back," Bayley said and she smiled with an idea, "Stay here I'll be right back!"
"Where are you going?!" Sasha called to her as she ran to where Faith Star and Abiyah were.
"Keep using Blue Thunder don't worry, I'll be fine!" Bayley said as she ran to the royal bedroom and saw Faith Star yelling out of the broken window while Abiyah was resting on his blue bear. Bayley knelt down by Abiyah while Faith Star continued to berate the terrorists.
"Don't you dare laugh at me!" Faith Star cried getting indignant as the terrorists made baby noises at her. "You think because I'm a kid I can't do battle?!"
As the terrorists continued to tease Faith Star Bayley got a sleepy Abiyah's attention by pointing to her blue sapphire necklace.
"Pretty isn't it?" Bayley said to Abiyah who sat up and reached for it smiling. He eventually took of from around her neck and held it to his face for a closer look.
"Blue!" Abiyah said gleefully and Bayley nodded.
"That's your favourite colour isn't it?" Bayley said and Abiyah nodded.
"Mommy's hair is blue," he said and Bayley smiled at him.
"Abi, we need to help Mommy out okay? So, what I need you to do, is wish for your blue bear to get bigger. Can you do that Abiyah? I want you to wish for this bear to be a BIG bear!" Bayley said making herself big and scary and Abi clapped his hands excitedly. "No, this isn't a game Abi!"
Abiyah clapped his hands together happily at what he thought was an impression then another bomb went off and Faith Star blew backwards onto her. Abiyah didn't like that at all and he held Bayley's blue sapphire necklace and wished for his blue bear to grow to the biggest size possible.
"GRRRRRRR!"
Sasha and Queen Melina stared at each other in disbelief. "Was that a bear?!" Queen Melina asked.
"Yes it most definitely was and something tells me its big and blue!" Sasha replied and she scrambled to her feet and dragged Melina to the window as the sound of a very big bear marching down to the front of the palace rang through the magnificent yet battered building.
"Oh my God!" Queen Melina cried with delight as a King Kong sized bear roared scaring all the terrorists away.
"My son!" Sasha cried out as Abiyah and Faith Star held onto the back of the bear while Bayley waved at her from the destroyed palace walls.
"I don't think they're coming back Boss!" Bayley said.
"Tell my son to get back here its time for bed!" the Boss cried out while taking a photo of the bear to send to Seth. "My husband has got to see this!"
WWE HQ, Stamford, Connecticut
Seth Rollins placed his cell-phone back in his pocket as Beth Hardy digested what she had just heard. Seth played her the recording of her conversation with Stephanie McMahon where they planned to set up Seth for sexual assault and it was a hard pill to swallow.
"So, do you want to drop the charges now or do I give this to the police and have you arrested for falsely accusing an innocent man of a crime he did not and would never commit against you?" Seth said and his eyes fluttered with tears. He had been through Hell and it was all because of Stephanie McMahon's determination to get back at DX.
Beth Hardy leaned back in her mother's Corinthian leather chair and crossed her legs.
"I think you should think about that Seth," she said calmly. "If you go to the police, my mother will make sure you never see your wife and children again,"
Blood raced to Seth's face, "Don't you dare threaten me Beth Hardy! After everything we've been though, you're gonna sit there and act like you still got me by the balls?!" Seth could feel the pro wrestler in him rise up but then he heard the tender voice of his Treasurer of Secrets reminding him to stay calm and act like he was a Christian. "You think I came here to negotiate?"
"No, I think you came here hoping that after you played that recording, this would all be over. But the Truth is Seth Rollins, this war is far from over and if you want to survive it, I strongly suggest you switch allegiances before you lose everything that matters to you and I mean everything," Beth Hardy said. "Your career, your future, your family and your friends. My mother will not stop until she gets what she wants and you know exactly what she wants Seth. So, unless you're here to tell me that you're going to give back the DX family jewels, you are wasting both our time,"
Seth laughed, "Seriously? You're doing your mother's bidding now Beth? You can't be that stupid. The McMahons have never won against the DX family, why would I switch sides now? I'm on the winning side, you're the one who needs to change allegiances, not me,"
Beth Hardy's face suddenly contorted, "Don't you dare call me stupid! I am a McMahon, who the Hell do you think you're talking to! I write your checks now and if you want a single penny you will put some respect on the McMahon family name!"
"That ain't gonna happen until you make it a name worth respecting. Money and power can only take you so far Beth Hardy. What's really important is doing the right thing and loving people and serving Jesus Christ and until you do those three things, your name barely registers on the scale of what Truly matters," Seth said.
"You think you've won don't you?" Beth Hardy said. "You think you can just fly to Saudi Arabia and reunite with you family once these charges go away right?" Beth Hardy said and she leaned forward with a cold look on her face. "What's my Gift Seth?"
"Transcendence," Seth replied.
"And what does the Gift of Transcendence allow me to do to people?" Beth Hardy asked him and Seth swallowed hard realising what Beth Hardy was getting at.
"It allows you to move people from place to place in seconds," Seth replied.
"That's right, glad that you've been paying attention. So, with one snap of my fingers, I can make Sasha, Abiyah and your unborn daughter, all move to say . . . England, or maybe I'll move them to Turkey. Or maybe, I'll leave them exactly where they are and wait for militant terrorists to take them out right there at the Royal Palace,"
Tears threatened to fall down Seth's face but he would not let them show, "You can't be that Black Hearted Beth Hardy," Seth said shaking his head. "The Beth Hardy I know could not live with herself if anything bad happened to my family in Saudi,"
"That's because the Beth Hardy you know is dead. This is the new Beth Hardy and her heart is way Blacker than Bayley's ever was. So, let's negotiate. Meet my original terms; come work for me and I'll Transcend your family back here. We will have a working relationship that will keep you from seeing Sasha but it will allow us to grow closer and eventually Sasha will leave you and I will be the future Mrs Rollins. Can you meet my terms or are you willing to put your family's life in danger with one click of my fingers?" Beth Hardy said.
Seth shook his head, "Beth, even if I worked for you, there's no way I could stop Sasha from coming back to me. My wife loves me and she ain't about to back down to any woman, I couldn't stop her from going straight after you when she finds out what you've done," he said hoping Sasha's fiery blue temper would scare the relatively inexperienced Beth Hardy away.
"Seth please, if Sasha comes after me, I'll have her arrested and you or Roman will get full custody of the children. You really think your wife would be that stupid?!" Beth Hardy replied. "Now for the last time Seth, are you going to meet my terms. My plans are very reasonable, if you meet my terms, I will drop the charges citing mental illness or confusion or some bulls-*** like that and you can start a whole new life working with me while my Mom and Hayworth Helmsley take over the wrestling world. So, what's it going to be Seth? Beth asked him with a confidence and insanity that was one hundred percent pure McMahon. "Come on Seth Rollins, it'll be a whole new world,"
"A whole new world," Seth repeated suddenly thinking of the Disney movie Aladdin, it was Sasha's favourite and as he watched the video of a super-sized blue bear mauling a band of petrified terrorists in Riyadh with a message telling him to hurry up and get to Saudi, faith filled his heart. The video made him smile and so did the message from Bianca Belair telling him that the God Girls had figured out how to block the Gift of Transcendence. Th told Seth to play along and make Beth Hardy think he had switched allegiances while they tore the new Black Heart's plans to a million sapphire blue pieces. "You got a deal," Seth said and Beth Hardy jumped out of her mother's chair and hugged Seth with tears in her eyes.
"My Mom's gonna be so happy! Finally, she'll be proud of me, thank you so much Seth! I'm on your side, I'll always be on your side! I hope you know that and one day, you'll understand why I had to do this," Beth Hardy cried and her hot tears fell onto Seth's cheek and the Prayer Warrior hoped he could save Beth before the Boss got her very pregnant hands on the woman who was trying to destroy her family and that would be a worst mauling than any giant blue bear could ever give.
