Seth walked into the locker room, seeing Dean and Roman… and Shield outfits set around them.

"I'm confused, what the hell is going on?" Seth asked.

"Check the note near yours." Dean answered, Seth picking up the note.

'This feuding between you three has to come to a complete stop. Suit up and meet us in the ring like The Shield of old.-B.C.'

"B.C? What in hell's name is going on?" Seth muttered.

"They're screwing with us, right? The writers?" Roman replied.

"They've been kind of ticked off lately. But not at us. I only know of one group with these initials and Bullet Club still works for New Japan Pro Wrestling last I… why that look, what's going on, Seth?" Dean responded, trailing off after seeing the agitated look on Seth's face.

"It's not the writers but we are being screwed with. Last I checked, The Shield had 4 members towards the end." Seth replied as Aestrid walked in.

"Show starts in a half hour, you three are up first." Aestrid said.

"And would you happen to know what the hell is going on?" Seth questioned.

"Yes… and like with this Stardust storyline they've started planning, it's to be as much of a surprise to you as it is to the audience. So my lips are sealed." Aestrid answered.

Aestrid left, Seth closing the door and the three changing into their outfits.

"You know… I missed wearing this old outfit, it was fun." Dean said as he strapped the black vest on.

"I'm starting to wonder where our fourth is, our Shield sister… I haven't heard from Mandy all day, have you Dean?" Roman questioned.

"No…" Dean answered.

At the same time, Amanda was leaned against the wall and reading the script… but noticing her nervousness, Finn walked over and rested his left hand on her right side.

"Starting to feel real, isn't it?" Finn asked.

"Was this what it was like for you? When Bullet Club first formed in New Japan? You were thrown right into being the leader of the group." Amanda responded quietly, feeling Finn's left hand entwine with her right one.

"And I was nervous at first but adapted quickly… we'll be okay." Finn said before a knock sounded at the door.

Amanda opened it and walked outside… only to get gold confetti stars blown in her face.

"Damn it, Cody!" Amanda responded as Cody, who was already in his Stardust character, laughed at his joke… until the door flew open and Finn ran into the hallway.

"Short notice but she's only working a few segments tonight." Finn explained, Cody turning curious.

"Hm… she got a health scare again?" Cody questioned.

"No, the writers went with something that's supposed to be a surprise." Amanda answered.

"The same as my 'replacement' is a secret? Not that I was that bothered, honestly… a change of character or some time off, I… wouldn't complain." Cody responded.

"Yeah and watch the confetti next time." Amanda said before Cody left. "He reacted okay… but we have a few more reactions to handle." She said as Finn traced his fingers over the Bullet Club logo on the jacket.

When the show started, Roman, Dean and Seth were stood in the ring in their Shield gear as the audience chanted "Where's the fourth one?!" repeatedly as Dean grabbed a microphone.

"That's what we want to know… Mandy? Where are ya, kid?" Dean replied, Seth taking the microphone as scripted and fans chanting "Backstabber!" and "You sold out!" at him… which set him off.

"Shut up!" Seth yelled at them.

"Is there some problem?" All three heard, seeing Amanda on the stage and Seth turning to her, noticing the look on her face… one of someone bursting at the seams and eager to share something as she chuckled. "So there's one thing I forgot to mention last week that's gonna change things-" Amanda said but Seth cut her off with a chuckle of his own.

"Hey, I don't know about you but I sure as hell want to know what's going on. Don't you or have you already figured it out, Rollins? If you think you've got it figured out why she hasn't tried to find anyone all day, tell us." Dean replied after turning to Seth.

But before he could, the lights dimmed and Last Chance Saloon by Deviant and Naive Ted blared through the arena and they saw several people in the darkened arena join Amanda… before the lights were back on.

Seth narrowed his eyes in anger at one of the ones he recognised immediately… and Finn looked back at him after wrapping an arm around Amanda's waist.

"You three aren't the only group around here anymore…" Finn responded with a smirk as he lightly nuzzled his face into the crook of Amanda's neck as scripted and nipped at her skin, which sent Seth's anger through the roof.

"Hey, Seth?" Roman replied, Seth turning to him. "There may be more of them but we used to be the unstoppable force around here and we need to get our Shield sister back. Agreed?"

In the backstage area, Dianne and Aestrid turned to each other.

"They really think they can battle for someone who doesn't want to move, don't they?" Dianne questioned.

"Seems that way." Aestrid answered as Seth took the microphone as the members of the Bullet Club surrounded the ring and Seth turned livid when he saw the droplets of blood from the bite Amanda had.

"Ní mar a cheap tú gur mhaith liom rudaí a athrú, a ghlacfaidh mé é?" Amanda asked… and Seth losing it and grabbing her by her hair to drag her into the ring, Amanda pulling his hand back and hitting him with a spinning backfist which sent him into Finn's direction, who punched him.

Dean and Roman ran at Amanda as scripted, only for Karl, Luke and Amber to jump them as Nick and Matt dragged Seth out of the ring and superkicked him.

Reaching over to Amanda, Finn pulled her to him by her hips and rested his right hand on her lower back while holding the microphone in his left hand as Seth, Dean and Roman were held in place to where they had no choice but to watch as the audience chanted "Bullet Club!" repeatedly.

"See guys… can't hold someone down when she wants to be free." Finn said as he pressed Amanda closer to him and trailed his lips up her neck before the members of the Bullet Club left.

In the backstage area, Aestrid and Dianne were laughing and high fiving each other.

"I called it! Call me now for your free readings, who's the father of the baby?!" Dianne said jokingly.

"Yep, certainly showed them. There are some things that once gone, aren't coming back no matter how you try." Aestrid agreed.

"Damn right about that… and you watch those teeth next time." Amanda said as they reached the backstage area, the last part directed to Finn as he grabbed a bandage and gauze and dabbed it at Amanda's neck after grabbing some Neosporin.

Aestrid and Dianne looked at each other and smiled.
