A/N: So , bad coach and kids at Andy Jr. ' s school , but I wonder who KHAOS is planning on attacking next ?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the wrestlers . I do own my OCs , KHAOS , and the story itself .
Chapter 5 : Domino
Next Day - 11:00:00 AM - Matt Bentley - On The Way To The Impact Zone
" So , how was Daniels when you talked to him today , Frankie ? " Matt Bentley asked Kazarian on the way to the Impact Zone .
" He was pissed , but otherwise okay , " Frankie said .
" This KHAOS doesn ' t know who they are messing with . " Matt said feeling ill .
" Exactly , hey , are you okay ? " Kazarian asked seeing Matt looking dizzy .
" No , pull over , man . " Bentley said about to puke .
" Sure , " Frankie pulling over as Matt got out of the car and vomited in the grass on the side of the road .
" Kaz , something doesn ' t feel right . " Matt said not liking the way his body felt .
" Hang on , I will call , 9-1-1 , " Frankie said as he noticed Matt ' s phone glowing as the message said , "FOUR HAS TASTED VENGEANCE , KHAOS IS COMING . "
" Great , they attack again , " Matt said before puking again .
" They will pay , " Kazarian said pissed .
11:00:01 AM - Johnny Devine - His Home
Johnny Devine was at his home going over everything that had happened to the Extended Family that KHAOS had caused so far , when he started smelling something strange in his house .
" What is that ? " Devine asked himself getting up to find whatever it was that he was smelling .
The smell seemed to be coming out of all of the vents as Johnny started getting dizzy and the room started to spin .
" Hey , what ' s happening to me ? " Johnny asked as he began to see things that weren ' t there as the smell was getting stronger .
" Aahhh , " Devine screamed when he saw his worst nightmare in front of him no longer sure if it was real or not as a knock came at his door .
Johnny opened the door hesitantly seeing A1 at the door as the fumes began to leave out the open door , but the effects on Devine were still there .
" Alistair , don ' t go in , the house , he will kill us all . " Devine said .
" Johnny , what are you talking about ? " Alistair asked a little worried at the sight of Devine and what he was saying .
" I saw them , I saw the one ' s who stabbed me years ago , don ' t let them attack you too , man . " Johnny said sitting on the grass outside of his house about to have a nervous breakdown as A1 realized something was wrong as he saw the message on Devine ' s home computer where he was working , " THE FIFTH HAS SEEN THE COMING DARKNESS , KHAOS IS COMING . "
" Hang on , Johnny , I will get you some help , " A1 said dialing 9-1-1 realizing something had happened to Devine if KHAOS was sending him messages .
Clinic
" You know , if this is becoming the new family hang out , then we will need to consider making sure that we each have our own individual room or something . " Grace said as she sat once again in the clinic waiting room hold Talia sitting in between Chase and Andy .
" Seriously ? " Andy asked .
" Just trying to keep myself and everyone else calm , Andy . " Grace said .
" So , what exactly happened with Bentley and Devine ? " Chris asked Laura .
" Bentley was food poisoning and Johnny had some sort of hallucinogen used on him that ' s made him hallucinate . " Laura said .
" Yeah , Johnny was talking about see the guys that stabbed Andy and Devine years ago , when I went over to his place earlier . " A1 said making Andy look at him concerned and then Laura .
" Can a hallucinogen really cause someone to have visions of memories that far back ? " Andy asked Laura .
" If it ' s a strong enough memory or if something was around him to make him remember then yes . " Laura said .
" The authorities were tracing both the food poisoning and hallucinogen back to the sources , then they were going to let us know what they were and where they came from . They also sent us the information from Devine ' s computer as they didn ' t feel like it was a good idea for Sabin and myself to go into Johnny ' s house with the stuff possibly still in there . " Alex said .
" Is there anything new to the information ? " James asked .
" The fact that it was in the morning and not in the evening was different and that it was two attacks instead of three , and the first part of the messages are all different even from the attacks the other night on Chase , Daniels and Eric , but they are still using the exact , eleventh hour as their starting point , making the messages correspond with the same time as the next attack , and each attack being seconds from each other . " Sabin said .
" The attacks themselves are different from each other and they haven ' t exactly killed us or harmed us to the point that we can ' t heal from it . " Chase said .
" Where are these messages and what does each one say ? " Bobby asked .
" I will go and get those , " Shelley stepped out to grab the messages .
" Are we sure no one is free that has been put away by the family ? " Rosie asked Sabin .
" Everyone is accounted for , A1 , even went over the Aces & Eights members and all of them are counted for as to whereabouts and none of them are close by or even after us anymore . " Sabin said .
" Yeah , I called Devon , when I got here to check in with them and nothing was found . " Alistair said .
" What about the tunnel close to the Impact Zone ? " Grace asked making all of them look at each other .
" I will call Dallas and see as far as us riding out to check it . " A1 said getting up and going to call Lance Hoyt .
Shelley came back in with the messages laying them in order on the table in the waiting room .
" THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING , KHAOS IS COMING , " Bobby read the first one .
" That was pulled from Chase ' s phone that was sent through a text message . " Sabin said Chase bared his teeth .
" TWO HAVE FELT THE PAIN , KHAOS IS COMING , " Bobby read the second one .
" That was from CD ' s tablet , " Sabin said , Daniels was actually sitting in the room with AJ , but not really saying anything due to being pissed off as he looked up at the sound of his name .
" THIRD TIME ' S THE CHARM , KHAOS IS COMING , " Bobby read the third one .
" From Eric ' s laptop , " Sabin said .
" They better be ready to pay the insurance on my car , me , and then get a beating for scaring my beautiful lady . " Eric said making Laura hug EY .
" FOUR HAS TASTED VENGEANCE , KHAOS IS COMING , " Bobby read the fourth message .
" That came today on an instant messaging service through Bentley ' s phone . " Sabin said .
" THE FIFTH HAS SEEN THE COMING DARKNESS , KHAOS IS COMING , " Bobby read for the fifth and latest message .
" That was from Devine ' s home computer . " Sabin finally said .
" KHAOS IS COMING , is the only part of this message that is the same and seems to give the idea that they are not ready to reveal who is KHAOS or what KHAOS really is yet . " AJ said .
" You know something else I find strange about all of this ? " Grace asked .
" Do tell , " Dakota said .
" Aces & Eights , Trifecta , Biohazard , they all had foot soldiers coming after us that got knocked down and left after they were fought off , but KHAOS has stayed in the shadows to attack us making them seem smarter than the other groups , no offense . " Grace looked at Alistair as he had come back into the room .
" No problem , " A1 said .
" And ? " Frankie asked Grace .
" If they are really so intelligent why aren ' t they using any of these methods of attacking to permanently take us out . I mean , how hard would it have been to either have that gun higher up or with something deadly in it as far as the attack on Chase , the explosive could have been out of EY ' s line of vision , and the fake lotion , food poison , and hallucinogen all could have been more potent than they were . " Grace explained .
" Not very hard at all , so , what are they trying to do , Grace ? " Katie asked .
" Send a message , ' vengeance ' , was in the message to Bentley and ' coming darkness' to Devine , those are messages to someone , ' just the beginning ' telling us to be prepared for the unexpected and trouble, ' pain and charm ' are feelings that can get anyone to do what someone wants them to do even if its not good or can cause bad things to happen , who has this family pissed off lately or at any given time ? " Grace asked .
" No one lately , " Daniels finally snapped .
" Easy , CD , we are trying to figure out what happened . " Frankie said .
" KHAOS being stupid is what happened . " Daniels answered .
" I agree , because everything they have done to us so far is something that you guys can heal from and if I have learned one thing from this family is that when we take hits we get back up stronger than before , pissed off , and ready to deal with who ever tried to hurt our family . " Grace pointed out .
" Grace , you seem to have a lot of insight into the situation , " Daniels said getting suspicious .
" Yeah , so ? " Grace asked .
" I was just wondering who would benefit from Chase getting hurt at the moment , or who would have the ability to get back to where he was at backstage or even backstage to the Impact Zone freely ? " Daniels asked .
" Whatever you are implying is wrong , Daniels ? Besides I was in Alabama with Cassidy the night you three were attacked . " Grace surprised at Daniels accusing her of attacking the family as the other ' s started feeling the same .
" Daniels , " Chris said .
" Then where were you when Bentley and Devine got attacked today ? " Daniels asked Grace .
" Training facility getting ready for the Street Fight next month . " Grace said .
" Anyone with you ? " Daniels asked .
" No , but I workout alone sometimes . " Grace said .
" Convenient . " Daniels said .
" Maybe , but how would I get from Alabama to Tampa or Orlando that fast to attack Chase , you , or EY when I had a match myself ? " Grace asked .
" You had help , " Daniels said .
" I wouldn ' t , you two don ' t believe ? " Grace asked looking at Chase and Eric getting a little hurt by the accusations , then at her dad , Storm , and Bobby before looking at her siblings and the rest of the Inheritors and Extended Family , before running out the door of the waiting room .
" Daniels , what was that ? " Chris asked .
" That ' s you needing to keep your daughter on a tighter leash , Wildcat . " Daniels said .
" Grace , wouldn ' t hurt this family . " Andy Jr. said making them look at him as he hadn ' t really spoken much since the other day at AMW ' s Training Facility .
" Yeah , if anything my sister has done her fair share of protecting this family . " Rosie said .
" Daniels , Grace was in Alabama with me in the ring wrestling when Wildcat first called us about the attack on Chase and by the time she got to the back , Chris was calling us back about the attacks on you and EY . " Cassidy said as Talia walked out the door trying to follow Grace .
" Grace , " Talia called to her making Grace turn around before a guy in a long , trench coat and luchador mask that looked like domino pieces on his face appeared in the hallway .
" Domino , " Grace said as AMW and the Naturals ran out seeing the guy close to Talia as Andy Jr. and Dakota were close behind them .
" Hey , step away from my sister . " Andy Jr. said .
" All in do time , Little Natural , " Domino said picking up Talia who started crying .
" Domino leave her alone , " Grace growled ready to fight if he tried to hurt Talia .
" Grace , I have no need to hurt her right now , as , it wouldn ' t benefit , The Boss , who hired me . " Domino said as the rest of the family stepped out ready to act if necessary .
" The Boss ? " Grace asked .
" Of KHAOS , " Domino said as an evil grin appeared on his face .
" Put Talia down , " Grace ordered this time glaring at Domino .
" Get away from me , brat . " Domino putting Talia down who ran to her dad hiding behind him .
" Talia , are you okay ? " Andy asked .
" No sir , meany scared me , daddy . " Talia said still crying a little as Grace and Domino began staring each other down .
" Its too bad you , Phantom , and Steve didn ' t take my offer to join me instead of David and Sigmon , you are such a fool , we could have been more detrimental to the Tennessee Connection and Extended Family if you were on my side . We could have built a better Inheritors and even been apart of the new driving force behind TNA , you could have been on top of the wrestling world , but you chose to side with the weak and worn out wrestlers instead . But , like I said , too bad , I really liked you kid , I thought you had more class than all of these other ones in TNA and in the TNA Extended Family . " Domino taunting Grace .
" Oh , I ' m so happy to have a secret admirer with a delusional fantasy , I have news for you Domino , most of the ones in this family have taught me either how to fight or to wrestle at some point in my life and the rest I have fought beside to help protect both our family and TNA , so , it will take more than flattery and words to turn me into a traitor . " Grace said going to punch Domino in the face , but he moved quicker than she did and got behind Grace putting a hand around her neck , rubbing it instead of squeezing .
" What is he doing to her ? " Chris asked .
" Relax dad , I wouldn ' t hurt this beautiful neck . Grace , I will give you one more chance to think about the fun we could have together and to join me in KHAOS and you will get everything you wanted . " Domino said first kissing her on the cheek then licking his way up her face grossing Grace out .
" Eew , get your face off of me , " Grace making contact with her fist to his face this time making Domino stagger back .
" You have a mean right hook , " Domino said .
" You can thank my dad , Cowboy , and Chase for that , they were the ones who taught me how to punch someone in the face and make it count . " Grace said .
" Speaking of Chase , how did it feel to have the one you willingly risked your life for five years ago suddenly get attacked again without you there to stop it , Grace ? " Domino asked .
" Why you . " Chase said about to go after him , but remembering his leg .
" Not much help with that leg are you , I guess I left a pretty good present for Grace to return home to seeing as I willingly set up the attack all for her and I had a pretty good sight of the action myself , Chase . " Domino said .
" If you want to fight , why not go with me ? " Grace asked wanting to rip him apart for attacking Chase .
" All in due time Grace , infact I think I will be your opponent in your next match , but maybe you should ask Chase about the secret he has been keeping from you . " Domino snickered before making smoke appear in the clinic hallway with some device allowing him to leave in discretion .
" Domino , " Grace said before looking at Chase wondering what the secret was he had kept from her .
" Grace ? " Chase looked at her questioning whether it was a good idea to talk to her as Grace walked down to the cafeteria wondering why everyone was either against her or doing things behind her back again .
" Grace , " Talia went to run after her again , but Andy Jr. picked her up .
" Let Uncle Chase deal with it , Talia . " Andy Jr. said as Chase followed Grace .
" Daniels , why did you start that about Grace ? " Chris asked turning to look at him .
" Because , its true , " Daniels going to walk away .
" Grace has never hurt anyone in the family , Daniels and you know it . " Andy said .
" Whatever ? " Daniels leaving .
" What ' s his problem ? " James asked .
" He ' s pissed , " Kazarian said .
" Doesn ' t mean its right for him to take it out on Grace . " Chris said .
" If it makes you feel any better , I don ' t believe Grace is responsible for this as she wasn ' t at the Impact Zone at all the other night . " Eric said .
" Thank you , " Chris said to EY .
Cafeteria
Grace was sitting by herself with a small thing of jello in front of her eating on it wanting so badly to strangle Domino when Chase sat next to her .
" Yeah ? " Grace asked .
" You eating jello ? " Chase asked her surprised .
" They didn ' t have ice cream . " Grace said looking at him .
" Ask , " Chase said .
" What have you been keeping from me , Chase ? " Grace asked .
" I didn ' t want to say anything until after the feud between the Saints and Tennessee Connection due to not wanting you to feel any different about everything , but Grace it was me who mentioned to David and Sigmon to include you in the Saints . " Chase said .
" Why ? " Grace asked .
" Because , I thought it would help your career grow and I wanted to have you apart of it , Grace . " Chase said .
Grace looked at him with tears in her eyes .
" What ? " Chase asked .
" Forgive me , " Grace said .
" For what ? " Chase asked .
" This guy attacking you because of me . " Grace said not wanting to cry and feel weak like she had years ago .
" Hey , what happened isn ' t your fault , Grace . " Chase said .
" Tell that to Daniels . " Grace said .
" Daniels is pissed and doesn ' t know what he is saying , but these attacks are not your fault and you are not apart of KHAOS , so , stop doubting and blaming yourself for something you have no fault in , Grace . This family needs you with your head on straight and ready to fight , so , don ' t you dare start giving up or I will be pissed . Are you just going to abandon and forget what myself , Andy , Cassidy , Devine , and Shane taught you five years ago or what AMW taught you in the ring last year ? " Chase questioned her knowing that the family needed Grace with her head on straight and thinking clearly .
" No , I just , I don ' t understand why this Domino guy targeted me . " Grace said .
" Because , he thought you were vunerable and would just fall for his tricks , just like you figured out with Andy Jr. the other day and those creeps at his school . Grace , you can ' t let this guy mess with your head and win , you need to focus , besides he said he was facing you in your next match . I don ' t know , but to me it sounds like you have a chance to take him out early , so , get your head on straight and be the American Kid you say you are , you are not a baby anymore who needs her hand held . " Chase finally telling her straight .
Grace looked up at him realizing what he was saying as she dried her eyes and gave him a look that made Chase realize she was back to normal .
" Now , what are you going to do against Domino ? " Chase asked .
" Tear him apart . " Grace said with purpose .
" Good girl , " Chase said as Chris walked in and saw them talking .
" Hey , " Chris sitting on the other side of Grace .
" Dad , " Grace said .
" You okay ? " Chris asked .
" Yeah , except I need disinfectant for my face . " Grace said making Chase laugh .
" Yeah , remind me to knock Domino out when I see him next . " Chris said .
" I will do that in the ring at my next match when I face him , ow . " Grace punching her own hand .
" Ha , you hurt yourself . " Chase said .
" Remember , next month , Chase . " Grace glared .
" Yeah , " Chase agreed .
" Grace , " Talia ran in hugging her .
" Hey , are you wandering the halls alone , little one ? " Grace asked picking Talia up .
" No , daddy and bubba are walking in now . " Talia smiled looking at Chase .
" Hey , Princess Talia . " Chase said .
" Uncle Chase , " Talia said .
" Hmm , you two are still trying to figure out whose really in charge on the independents ? " Andy Jr. asked .
" That would be me , " Chase and Grace both said pointing at themselves and then looked at each other .
" I take that as a yes , " Andy Jr. looked at his dad .
" I have no part whatsoever in their feud . " Andy said .
" Except the fact that you are a Natural and should be siding with your partner . " Chase looked at Andy .
" I will side with you as moral support . " Andy said .
" Okay , " Chase said .
" Are you going to have to use the cane next month ? " Grace asked making Chris laugh .
" No , I will be losing it , soon , and then waiting for my leg to heal completely . " Chase shook his head .
" Oh , should I call David and Sigmon about Domino ? " Grace just thought about it .
" It may do some good , " Chris said .
" Talia , here go to your uncle , while I step outside and call my mates . " Grace said whistling , " When The Saints Go Marching In , " making Chase stare at her as he took Talia and Grace walked out the door to call David and Sigmon .
" Now that ' s funny . " Andy laughed .
" Traitor , " Chase teased Andy .
