The Zack Mercer Story
Chapter 27: No Mercy
Sunday, October 9th, 2016 - No Mercy - Sacramento, California
It's been 17 days since he last showed his face around the WWE. 17 days resting away from the WWE to recuperate and 17 days allowing him think about his relationship with none other than Little Miss Bliss. But tonight was not the night to let all of that affect him. Tonight was about getting back his title. Getting back the WWE Intercontinental Championship and making sure that he put an end to The Miz's reign and once again showing everyone that the Era of Mercer will not end tonight.
Zack walked through the backstage area dressed in black biker jeans with a white v-neck shirt with a blue denim shirt over it with the sleeves the rolled up. He wore black suede boots. He also had black necklace with a silver charm on it that had his daughters name with her birthday. He also had a silver bracelet on right wrist with a watch on the same wrist. He had his white earbuds in playing music to get him focused on his match later on tonight against The Miz for his rematch. It was announced earlier by Shane McMahon on twitter that their match would be a No Disqualification Match with Maryse banned from ringside. He was walking up until he reached the catering area where the girls were sitting there talking and smiling. He saw Lexi there with a unusual straight face showing little to no emotion. He sighed and continued walking to where he made his way to the male locker room.
Lexi's eyes followed the man who she believed to be the love of her life. And sighed as all of the emotion came flowing back in.
"Okay now what the hell is going on with you and James?" Trinity asked as she noticed the eyes that Lexi had for the love of her "life".
"Ummmm-Nothing, It's fine." Lexi lied as she redirected her attention on the girls in front of her and wiped away the light tears in her eyes.
"Now you do know that I can ask around and get an answer if you're lying." Nattie said.
"Yeah, we're here for you Lexi. No matter what," Rebecca said.
"Okay fine. I walked in on Drew kissing Cassie." Lexi said as she wiped away some tears out of her eyes.
"WHAT?!" Rebecca, Leah and Trinity all said as they stood up from their seat and looked at Lexi shocked.
"You can't be serious?" Trinity said as she then looked in James direction.
"I am and I don't want to talk about it anymore." Lexi said.
"Have you talked to him about it?" Leah asked.
"No and I just said that I don't want to talk about it." Lexi answered.
"Well you know what, I'm going to get answers!" Rebecca said. But before Rebecca could stomp away angrily Lexi reached for her arm and pulled her back before she could walk away.
"Why?" Lexi asked.
"Because I care about you and your my friend." Rebecca answered.
"If you truly care about me then you wouldn't go harass him for answers." Lexi replied. This made Rebecca sigh before she sat down while the rest of the girls sat down.
"Now I really don't want to talk about it." Lexi said as she sat down and looked around the table.
Hours Later - Male Locker Room
James sat on the bench in the locker room wrapping his hands up in white wrist tape. He had blue tights with black tiger scratches on both sides with a white outline in a black circle with a white outline on top of a black line with a white outline that starts from the belt around the waist of the tights in black with a white outline. On the back of the tights he had Mercer in black with a white outline. He had black kneepads with a Z in old english font in blue with a white outline with black kickpads with a white outlining on the pads of the kick pads with straps on the sides of the kick pads.
James stared at the floor with a frown as he applied the wrist tape to his wrist and his hands getting an idea of what tonight was going to be like. He was prepared for the challenge of his match but he also wondered what Lexi would think of him.
"Damn, James you alright?" Jon Fatu asked him as he looked at James with a frown.
"Yeah, man I'm good. Just getting ready to take back my Championship." James said.
"Well shit don't take it out on the tape man. It's just tape." Josh Fatu said causing James to give off a chuckle.
"James let me borrow that." Randy said.
"Alright go long." James said as he got into his quarterback position like he did in High School. Randy got up and moved along across the locker room.
"Prescott!" James said as he tossed it and threw it like a quarterback. And just as Randy was about to catch it, John came out of nowhere and intercepted the tape from Randy.
"Pick!" John shouted at James making James chuckle.
No Mercy Arena - Hours Later
"Bully" by Three Days Grace Hits
Zack Mercer walked out onto the stage as the titantron was the only video package showing while the lights were all turned off in the arena. Zack raised his index fingers and middle fingers up in the air as the lights of the arena came back on and began going back and forth between the colors of blue and white. He wore a blue vest with 3 tiger scratches on the back in black with a white outline with Zack Mercer in old english in black with a white outline.
"Sacramento, How you doin?" Zack asked as he walked to the right side of the stage and pointed into the crowd. He then turned around and walked to the left side of the stage and pointed into the crowd. He walked back to the center stage and looked around in the crowd.
"It's Mercer Time Bay-Bay." Zack Mercer yelled as he walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans in the front row. Once he reached the ringside area he looked around at the crowd. He shook his head letting his hair fly around his head. He snapped his head back causing his hair to fly behind his head. He walked around the ringside area to the ring and got up onto the ring apron similar to the Miz. He held onto the middle rope while he raised up his index finger and middle finger with his other hand. He got up to his feet and entered the ring before went over to the turnbuckle and did his pose over again while the fans cheered loudly while he walked over to the middle of the ring talking trash to the Miz while the referee tried to push him back.
"Bully" Stops
Zack backed up in the corner while he stared across the ring sitting up on top turnbuckle.
"The Following Contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the WWE Intercontinental Championship." Greg Hamilton announced as the WWE Intercontinental Championship graphic appeared on the titantron.
"Introducing first, the challenger, from Las Vegas, Nevada. Weighing in at 224 pounds. "The Las Vegas Ace" Zack Mercer!" Hamilton announced while Zack stood up while he raised his index and middle finger up in the sky while the fans were cheering like crazy at the man they call "The Ace of Spades"
"And the champion, being accompanied to the ring by Maryse. Now residing in Hollywood, California. Weighing in at 221 Pounds. He is the WWE Intercontinental Champion. The Miz!" Hamilton announced while Miz stood up and raised his title up in the air while the fans booed loudly for him. Maryse moved out of the way while Miz jumped down and handed the referee the WWE Intercontinental Championship title. The referee raised the title in the air showing it to the fans who cheered loudly while Zack took off his vest and handed it to the ringside crew while Maryse exited the ring.
The referee then called for the bell.
DDD!
Zack and Miz stood across from each other while the fans cheered in anticipation for the two to lock it up. Zack looked up and looked out into the crowd looking at the the crazy dozen fans who were cheering for the two. Zack and Miz slowly circled around the ring before they both locked it up in a collar elbow tie up with Miz quickly taking control of the hold transitioning it into a side headlock. He wrenched down on the head of Zack before Zack backed him up into the ropes before he whipped him across the ropes. When Miz rebounded off the ropes he sent Mercer down to the mat with a shoulder block that made Miz smile. He talked trash to Mercer before he ran back to the ropes when he returned Zack turned over onto the side while The Miz hopped over him and as Miz ricocheted off the ropes once more Zack tried to drop kick him but Miz held onto the ropes sending Zack onto his back.
Miz arrogantly walked over to Zack before Zack was able to kip up and wrap the legs around the neck of The Miz before he whipped him onto his back. Miz rolled out of the ring and touched onto the ringside floor while Zack got up to a knee. Maryse walked over to her husband and helped him regroup while Zack ran to the ropes. When Zack came back they expected him to dive out of the ring causing them to move while Zack jumped up onto the top rope before he flipped off the ropes landing on his feet while the fans cheered. Zack simply gave The Miz the bird making the crowd cheered once more while The Miz went wide eyed and quickly rushed into the ring only for Zack to run to the ropes while The Miz went for a clothesline but Zack ducked it. When Zack returned he jumped up and hit Miz with a flying forearm. Miz popped back up and Zack hit him with a right hand that sent him stumbling around. Zack with another right hand this time Miz went to the corner and leaned up against the turnbuckles. Zack tried to continue his offense into the corner but Miz kicked Zack in the gut making him hunch over before he pulled him into the corner. The Miz with a forearm shot the face of Zack Mercer before he hit him across the chest with a chop making him howl in pain. Miz smiled as he once again chopped Zack across the chest making the howl once again.
"Hit him again!" Maryse yelled.
The Miz smiled once again and chopped Zack across the chest making him howl for the 3rd time. His chest started to gain a light pink color to it. Miz tried to chop Zack in the chest again but Zack caught his hand before it hit his chest and changed position with him in the corner. Zack chopped Miz across the chest with a woo while the crowd followed suit and pulled a Ric Flair. Zack with a series of chops to the chest of Ric Flair before he hit him with an uppercut making him slouch in the corner. Zack then tried to whip Mercer across the ring into the corner but Miz reversed and whipped him as hard as he could into the corner. Zack dropped down as he grunted at the pain he felt. The Miz put a hand on his chest feeling the pinkish color on his chest before he walked over to Zack Mercer who had a hand on his back before he then started to stomp down on his back taking advantage of the weakness.
Zack tried to get up but Miz put him back down with a elbow to the spine making Zack scream out in pain. Miz grabbed Zack by his head and neck and tried to get him into a suplex like position. Miz tried to get Zack up for a Suplex but Zack locked his feet together before he lifted The Miz up into a suplex-like-hold but The Miz lowered a knee down to hit Mercer on top of the head causing him to drop him down to his feet before he picked him up and suplexed him onto the mat making him sit up after impact and place a hand on his back. Miz pushed him back down before he covered him.

2, Kick Out at 2 by Zack Mercer who then rose up only for The Miz to kick his back causing him to drop down once more while he gritted his teeth in pain. Miz stomped down on the gut of Zack Mercer making him sit up while he started to get red faced only for The Miz to kick him in his chest and send him back down before he ran to the ropes and when he came back jumped up for a knee drop across the head of Zack Mercer.

2, Kick Out at 2 once more by Zack Mercer. The Miz looked at Zack with a evil ideas before he rose up to his feet and tried to grab Zack Mercer by his hair only for when he was able to pull him up, he rose up and jumped up for a Enziguri to the back of the head of The Miz while the fans cheered at Zack's explosive offense. Zack dropped back down while The Miz dropped down. The fans started to cheer on Zack Mercer who was able to crawl over to the ropes and use them to pull himself up while he placed a hand on his back soon after. The Miz soon rose up to his feet and hunched over allowing Zack to run towards The Miz and hit him with a knee before he was able to hit him with a swinging neckbreaker putting him flat on his back and allowing his head to bounce off the mat. Zack backed up into the corner and surveyed the ring getting together a game plan before he used the ropes to pull himself up while he kept his eyes on The Miz. He repeatedly drove his back into the turnbuckle pad like a mad man. Zack waited for the Miz to get up to his feet before he grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him into a high knee hitting a move he liked to call Hangover. He then covered The Miz.
1….
2, Kick Out at a late 2 by The Miz making Zack sit up and look at the crowd before he ran a hand through his hair.
"I'm kicking your husband's ass!" Zack yelled at Maryse while the crowd chuckled in amusement. Zack looked at the A-Lister before he grabbed the A-Lister by his head and threw him into the ropes trying to mount some more offense but The Miz was way ahead of him and ran back towards Mercer flipping him over with a knee to the midsection before Miz ran to the ropes and when he came back he was able to go down and hit The Las Vegas Ace with a clothesline to the throat that sent him down. Maryse was loving the assault on the man who had talked bad about the love of her life. She loved her husbands aggressiveness and watched on as The Miz then started to assault Mercer with a stomps down on the ribs and on the abdomen. Miz then went down to the legs of Zack Mercer making Zack look at The Miz alarmed. Zack was 17 days just removed off a health scare with his knees and he wasn't trying to put anymore pressure on his knees. The Miz mocked one of the greatest Champions in WWE history with a woo before he started to lock Zack Mercer into the Figure 4 Leglock.
Zack screamed out in pain as he could feel the pressure being applied to his almost injured knees. Zack screamed out as he laid flat on his back while the referee started to count.
1….
2, Zack lifted his shoulders and started to think around for options. Zack's face was red as you could see damn near every muscle in his body flex. Zack stayed in the hold for a almost nearly 2 minutes. 2 minutes of hell and 2 minutes that feel like an eternity before he was able to roll over and reverse the pressure on The Miz. This time The Miz screamed as he could feel the pain in his knees before he was able to get to the ropes and hold onto the ropes while Mercer crawled out of the hold. Zack was sweating bullets and breathing heavily as he ran a hand through his hair while he crawled to the ropes and attempted to use them to get him up to his feet with a slight limp while The Miz did the same. Miz turned around while Zack attempted to Superkick The Miz but Miz ducked it and tried to hit him with the Skull Crushing Finale but Zack was able to maneuver his way out and elbow him across the face. When Miz turned around Zack kicked him in the gut and tried to hit him with Final Calling but Maryse got up onto to the ropes. Zack smiled before he whipped The Miz into the ropes causing Maryse to fall off and land on the ground breaking her heel making the fans cheer. The Miz looked down at his wife in worry white wide shocked eyes. He turned around started to curse at Zack before he ran towards him only to be hit with the Ace of Spades. Zack dropped down into the cover.

DDD!
"Bully" Plays
"Here is your winner and the new WWE Intercontinental Champion: Zack Mercer!" Greg Hamilton announced as Zack rolled off of the Miz and landed on his back. The referee grabbed the Championship belt from the ring crew and placed the Championship over Zack who smiled as his baby once again came back home. He soon slowly rose up to his feet and raised his arms with the championship in hand while the referee checked on The Miz.
"Mercer time is back baby." Zack shouted as he then lowered the championship and kissed it with a smile on his face.
Backstage - Minutes Later
He walked backstage searching for Lexi. He felt it was now time to get her back in his life since the one thing he needed to focus on was finally out of the way he was able to divert his attention onto her. He should've never been put into this situation with Cassie and Lexi in the first place. He turned around the corner with a smile than soon faded when he saw what he saw. He saw Lexi lip locked with Wesley who had her up against the wall while his hand ran up and down her thigh.
James looked on in shock and disgust before he walked away from the scene of what he saw. He had tears that threatened to fall from his eyes but he kept walking and wiped them away in the process.
"Two can play that game." James said with a angry tone.
Hours Later
James walked in the hallway of a hotel room with a half-drunken battle of Cognac, something he only drunk when he was really in his feelings and today happened to be one of those days. He was simply wearing what he wore earlier. He looked down at his phone before he looked back up at the door. He put his phone on Do Not Disturb before he put it in his pocket and knocked on the door of the hotel room. When the door opened a face from his past appeared in a bathrobe.
"Andy what are you doing here? And how did you know where I was staying?" Joseann Offerman, JoJo, asked him as she smiled while he looked her up and down licking his lips looking at her with eyes full of lust and hurt.
"Turns out the receptionist was a Mercermaniac so all it took was a few Smackdown tickets and here I was. But I came back for that drink I owed you." James said.
"Well in that case come on in." JoJo said as she moved out of the way and allowed him to enter the hotel room. When he entered he placed the bottle down on the table before JoJo closed the door and shortly afterwards he spun around and kissed him lustfully. He then moved down and started to kiss her neck softly while she moaned at his touch while she lifted up her leg while he ran his hand up her thigh slowly teasing her.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" JoJo asked him making him stop with his process. James didn't answer her but kissed her on the lips once more while one of her hands touched his and the other gripped his neck pulling him deeper into the kiss.
A/N: Well, damn that happened. Zack got his Championship back and also had sex with JoJo. Damn this guy is a whore. Lmao, I actually had this happen for a reason and it's going to play a part in Book 2. Oh yeah did I mention Book 2 is coming up. This is the last chapter of Book 1 and I think Book 2 is going to start with a bang. Book 2 will feature the return of my cousins OC, Ced who will be starting his own story in the Mercerverse. I will be pushing for Book 2 to come out in Late December or Mid January. So yeah, stay tuned.
This is the ZackAttack signing out!
Peace!
