A/N: Domino blew the match , injures Grace , and then KHAOS jumps her after the match injuring her worse , this is definitely a different group than the others .
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the wrestlers . I do own my OCs , Khaos , and the story itself . Domino is my new heel character while The Phantom is a face , so if you want to use them for anything else please ask .
Chapter 8 : Six & Seven
Few Days Later
Grace was out in the training facility again with Phantom and Steve ready to get her shoulder back in working condition before the Street Fight in Pigeon Forge and before KHAOS showed up again .
" So , was anything said by Homicide and Low Ki as far as who Domino is exactly ? " Grace asked .
" Nothing about who he is , but a lot on who he isn ' t and he ' s definitely not a luchador , he ' s just a masked wrestler who seemed to be trained in the luchador style . " Phantom said .
" So , he is a phony ? " Steve asked .
" Looks like it , " Phantom answered .
" So are you still planning on having the match against him to try and take the mask off of Domino ? " Grace asked as the Naturals showed up with Talia and Katie .
" That ' s the plan , Domino is suppose to have a match in South Carolina coming up in the week , so , I will go and shake things up by challenging him to a match of our own . " Phantom said .
" Are you going to need help with that ? " Grace and Steve asked .
" Homicide and Hernandez was coming out , so , I don ' t think so , I actually think it would be best if you guys stay here and get ready for the Street Fight . " Phantom said .
" Considering Steve and I have one more match before the Street Fight , I would say we deal with that first and then the Street Fight in Pigeon Forge will be in our sights , guys . " Grace said .
" Yeah , " Steve agreed .
" Who are you two facing ? " Andy asked .
" Ryan Stone and Ron Horn , " Steve and Grace both said making Chase look at them as Andy looked at Chase knowing the history the he once had with Ron .
" What ? " Grace asked looking at the Naturals .
" I don ' t know much about Stone , but watch out for Ron . " Chase warned the two .
" What ' s the deal with him ? " Grace asked .
" He ' s not a nice guy , " Chase said .
" You knew him ? " Grace asked .
" I thought I did , before I came back to TNA the last time , Andy and I were wrestling as separate wrestlers for a time and I took Ron under my wing for a little while , thought I could help him learn the ways of the wrestling business . But , then he decided to stab me in the back by using my name to do whatever he wanted even if it meant him getting into trouble with my name . One day the cops showed up looking for me for something he did , but because I happened to be in the ring that night I had an alibi and they actually found out that it was Ron Horn using my name for the issue . " Chase said .
" Sounds like Kash , " Grace said .
" Except Kash we knew was a problem , where Ron can be deceptively nice but really isn ' t . " Andy said .
" Grace , " Talia said hold her arms out to Grace .
" Hey , sweet girl , " Grace picking Talia up .
" Yay , " Talia cheered .
" You ' re extra happy today , " Grace said .
" Uncle Chase is feeling better . " Talia said .
" His leg has finished healing . " Katie said .
" Meaning you three need to tell David and Sigmon that trouble is coming during the Street Fight . " Chase looked at Grace , Phantom , and Steve .
" Yeah , for the Tennessee Connection . " Grace , Phantom , and Steve said in unison Chase looking at all of them in shock .
" Those three are at least of one mind . " Andy said .
" Once again whose side are you on ? " Chase asked Andy .
" The Naturals , of course . " Andy said .
" We are slowly converting , Andy , guys . " Grace said .
" Good , " Phantom and Steve said .
Talia started laughing as she spotted Steve .
" What ? " Steve asked .
" Are you a clown ? " Talia asked .
" Yes , I am , why ? " Steve asked .
" Clowns are suppose to be funny are you funny ? " Talia asked .
" Sometimes , " Steve said pulling out one of those long balloons you see at the carnival .
" What are you doing ? " Talia asked as Steve blew up the long pink balloon and then blew up a long green one and made a balloon flower out of it .
" Steve ? " Grace asked .
" There a pretty flower for a pretty girl . " Steve said laughing .
" I thought you were suppose to be a creepy clown ? " Phantom asked .
" I take days off from being creepy . " Steve said .
" Anyway , what ' s the word going around about our problems with KHAOS ? " Grace asked .
" Absolutely nothing since they injured you . " Chase said .
" I hate when the enemy is to quiet and actually not doing anything . " Grace said .
" Means they are up to something . " Andy agreed .
" You guys are deep in thought . " Cassidy walked in with Frankie and Daniels .
" KHAOS is a little to quiet at the moment . " Chase said .
" Suspiciously quiet . " Daniels glanced at Grace with a look that said he still thought it was her behind KHAOS .
" Yeah , Uncle Frankie have you seen my dad ? " Grace asked .
" He was on his way from the Impact Zone last I heard . " Frankie said .
Grace looked at her phone knowing that he was suppose to come out and work with her a little bit before the tag match .
" What ' s up ? " Andy asked .
" Dad was suppose to be here by now to help with the work out , but he ' s not and its not like him to miss out unless something happened . " Grace thinking about the fact that it was a little to quiet and to the point where it almost felt eerie .
" Grace , if your dad says he will be here then he will be . " Chase said .
" Then why do I feel like somethings wrong ? " Grace asked .
" Maybe , you want to admit something to the rest of us , because you know guilt eats away at you . " Daniels said .
" I ' m not guilty of anything . " Grace said .
" Daniels now is not the time for this . " Andy agreed as Grace looked at everyone in the training facility before stepping away from them to call her dad , but not getting him .
" I can ' t get him . " Grace said about to panic again .
" Grace , " Chase said concerned .
" Chase , I ' m serious , something feels off . " Grace said looking at him worried .
" We could always go towards the Impact Zone and see if we can find him . " Cassidy said .
" I don ' t think its a good idea to take Talia and Katie to where they both could get hurt . " Andy said before Grace ran out of the training facility to her own car .
" Grace ? " Chase ran after her stopping her before she got in the car .
" Chase , I really feel like somethings wrong , " Grace said .
11:00:00 am - Chris Harris - On the Road
At 11:00:00 am , Chris Harris was on his way home from the Impact Zone when someone in a large truck rammed it into his car knocking him off the side of the road and into a tree before riding away and parking out of sight to keep an eye on everything going on .
Domino and two of the KHAOS guys ran up to the car from where they were at to see the Wildcat knocked out before sliding something into his jacket pocket before leaving and calling the paramedics to tell them about the wreck .
11:00:01 am - Grace Harris - Outside of the Training Facility
" Grace , everything will be alright . " Chase said trying to get her to calm down and think things through .
" Not if my dad is hurt somewhere and every part of me is saying he ' s hurt , Chase please I want to go find him . " Grace getting upset .
" Grace , look , I know you want to , but remember what you told Andy five years ago about running off when we have ones here to protect . Look I will call Storm and Shane to go and look for your dad , but you need to pull yourself together . " Chase said
" Okay , " Grace said as she started shaking and trembling .
" Hey , what ' s going on with you ? " Chase asked holding her steady .
" I told you I ' m worry about my dad , Chase . " Grace said panting .
" Grace , have you taken anything today ? " Chase asked .
" Taken anything ? Chase , I don ' t do drugs mate and I am not legal limit yet to be able to drink . " Grace said beginning to feel warm .
" Then why are you acting funny ? " Chase asked .
" I don ' t know , but it all of a sudden feels really hot out here . " Grace said before passing out .
" Grace , guys , get out here . " Chase said as they all came out and saw Grace on the ground with Chase kneeling beside her trying to wake Grace up .
" What happened ? " Andy asked .
" She passed out . " Chase said as Frankie saw something in Grace ' s car light up .
" Grace ' s car , " Frankie opened the door and saw her tablet .
" UNLUCKY SEVEN HAS BECOME NUMB , KHAOS IS COMING , " Grace ' s tablet showed on its screen .
" Seven , but who was number six ? " Cassidy asked as Chase picked Grace up taking her to his car .
" Chase ? " Andy asked .
" We are taking her to the clinic , while one of us calls Storm on the way there for him to grab some guys to go and find Chris . " Chase said just as Grace ' s cell phone went off .
Chase pulled it out of her pocket as he laid her in his back seat and threw the keys to the training facility to Andy for him to lock up after everyone left .
" Hello , Storm , I was just about to call you , what happened ? No , James , seven has been attacked , I ' m bringing Grace to the clinic as we speak , I have Andy , Cassidy , Bad Influence , Phantom , and Steve here with me along with Talia and Katie . Grace is the seventh , she is passed out at the moment , yeah , I will let the others know , right , bye . " Chase hanging up the phone as they all got into either his or Frankie ' s car .
" What happened ? " Frankie asked before they left .
" Chris was in a car accident coming from the Impact Zone , the paramedics found his car ran into a tree , apparently the call came from an anonymous person . " Chase said handing Andy the keys to his car for him to drive as he kept an eye on Grace as they left to the clinic .
Chase was letting Katie ride up front with Andy as Chase held on to Grace who began to stir a little bit .
" Chase , " Grace called out startling him .
" Grace , hey , its okay , how are you feeling ? " Chase asked .
" My body feels numb all over , " Grace said .
" Hold on and we will be at the clinic soon . " Chase trying to be easy with her .
" Dad ? " Grace asked .
" Grace , you need to know something . " Chase said as he told her what Storm said about her dad .
" Is he okay ? " Grace asked about to panic .
" I don ' t know yet , he was just arriving at the clinic when Storm called me , he was the sixth attacked by KHAOS and you were the seventh . " Chase said .
" I ' m gonna make Domino and KHAOS pay for this . " Grace began crying as her whole body was numb which was also making her panic even more .
" Grace , " Chase and Andy both said this time .
" No , I don ' t want to lose another parent and I can ' t lose my ability to both protect the family and wrestle by my body not being able to move from numbness . " Grace said ready to snap .
" You ' re not losing anything , baby girl . " Andy said making Grace calm down at his familiar nickname for her .
" Why is this happening ? Why is everyone and everything I love being hurt and feels like its being stripped away again ? " Grace asked as tears fell down her face not knowing what was going on .
" I don ' t know little one , but we will find out and put a stop to it . " Chase said rubbing her face trying to dry the tears .
" I can ' t feel it . " Grace said .
" What ? " Chase asked .
" You rubbing my face , I can ' t feel it . " Grace said only crying more .
" Grace , do remember that everything that has happened to the family so far due to KHAOS has been temporary issues and the numbness you feel should be , too . " Andy said .
" You ' re right , but what about dad , how can you say a car wreck won ' t cause him some problems ? " Grace asked .
" We can ' t until we know for sure , but you need to remember that your dad is strong and he will fight with everything he is to get through this so he can be there for you , Jessie , and your siblings , baby . " Chase holding her as they arrived at the clinic .
" Okay , " Grace said as Andy parked the car at the emergency care unit as Laura and Storm came out to get her .
" James , she can ' t walk . " Chase said .
" Here , " Storm lifting Grace and putting her on a gurney .
" Uncle James , Laura " Grace said .
" Easy , Grace , " Laura said .
" How is my dad ? " Grace asked as they wheeled her into the clinic .
" He was awake the last time I went to check on him . " Laura said .
" Jessie was in there with him . " James said .
" Alright , boys , you guys are going to have to stay out while I figure out what is going on with Grace . " Laura said to the Naturals , Bad Influence , Phantom , and Steve , Storm stayed out , too , so he could go and give Chris the update .
" Come on , let ' s go see Chris . " Storm said .
" Right , " Andy said as they followed Storm into the room with Chris and Jessie .
" How ' s Grace ? " Chris asked when he saw them walk in .
" Whatever is in her at the moment has made her body go numb to where she can ' t move on her own . " Chase said .
" Laura is checking her out right now to see what ' s going on , Cat . " James said .
" Alright , " Chris sighed .
" She was about to get in her car to try and find you when we realized something was wrong . " Chase said .
" More like when Chase figured out something was wrong , " Cassidy said .
" And there ' s no telling what would have happened if whatever is going on with Grace had taken full effect if she had been on the road . " Andy said .
" Chase , " Chris said .
" Yeah , " Chase looked at the Wildcat .
" Thank you , for once again taking care of my daughter when I couldn ' t be there . " Chris said .
" No problem , Cat . " Chase said as Laura came in .
" What ' s wrong with Grace ? " Chris asked .
" The smoke that Domino used the other day to disappear in the halls here seemed to have been too close to Grace where she breathed it in , and it seems to have similar affects to her as the hallucinogen did on Devine except its making Grace panic instead of hallucinate like it did with Johnny . " Laura said .
" Will she be okay ? " Chris asked .
" Yes , we are flushing her system and clearing her airways now , so , it shouldn ' t take long for her to get better . " Laura said .
" Why did it make Grace panic and not Domino ? " Cassidy asked .
" His mask may have something in it that protects him from inhaling the smoke he uses . " Laura said .
" Okay , " Chris said .
" I will go and check on Grace , " Laura leaving the room .
" Once again I will strangle Domino and the rest of KHAOS . " Chase said .
" When we catch them . " Andy said .
" We have another message and two more of the members of KHAOS has been revealed on camera . " Storm said handing Chase the new message and picture as the others looked on .
" NUMBER SIX HAS FALLEN , KHAOS IS COMING , " Chase read outloud .
" You know , I wish they would come up with a new slogan , KHAOS IS COMING , " Cassidy said .
" No kidding , " Andy agreed as Chase gasped at the picture .
" What ? " Kazarian and Daniels asked .
" Ron Horn and Ryan Stone are the new members of KHAOS ? " Chase asked .
" Ryan Stone ? Not that little piss ant that caused me a lot of problems years ago after the WWE issues I had ? " Chris asked .
" One in the same , along with the problems I had with Ron Horn , " Chase agreed .
" Grace and Steve were suppose to have a tag match against them coming up . " Andy said .
" Yeah , in Knoxville , Tennessee . " Cassidy said .
" It was suppose to be Grace and Steve ' s last match before the Street Fight in between the Tennessee Connection and the Saints . " Chase said .
" You know Grace and the rest of the Saints were having problems with Domino stealing stuff and Chase and myself had problems with Ron Horn and Ryan Stone , what if this big leader is someone we ' ve all had a problem with or may have a problem with us as in TNA us ? " Chris asked .
" What if the big leader of KHAOS has a problem with the big leader of TNA ? " Andy asked .
" As in Jeff Jarrett ? " Cassidy , Kazarian , and Daniels asked .
" Yeah , " Chase agreed .
" I think I may know who is behind this , but let me go to Jarrett and see if I can dig some stuff up . I will go and tell AJ , Team Canada , and the Motorcity Machine Guns to come with me . " Storm said leaving the room .
" Right , " Chris said .
" She ' s been asking for Chris . " Laura said rolling Grace in a wheelchair into the room who was awake , but very exhausted .
" Dad , " Grace said .
" I want to hold her . " Chris said .
" Is she okay to be put up there ? " Chase asked Laura .
" Yes , and she is safe to lift as well , I just brought her in the wheelchair due to the numbness still wearing off and her being exhausted . " Laura said .
" Okay , hold on Grace , " Chase said picking her up and putting Grace on the bed next to Chris .
" Do you do all of the heavy lifting , Chase ? " Grace asked .
" Easy now , " Chase laughed a little .
" I needed a laugh . " Grace smiled weakly at Chase .
" Yeah , " Chase said as Chris pulled Grace closer to him holding her .
" Dad , are you okay ? " Grace asked .
" Yes , baby , its just my leg is broke and I have some sworeness from the wreck , but this Cat still has maybe eight lives left . " Chris said .
" He tried to scare us to death , Grace . " Jessie said .
" For this family , its normal , " Grace said .
" How about you , Grace , are you going to be okay ? " Phantom asked , he and Steve were both in there worried about their friend .
" I will be , " Grace said .
" Alright , guys , lets step out and let them have a family moment . " Andy said as they left Chris , Jessie , and Grace alone .
" I will contact Low Ki and Homicide to see if they have anything new on Domino , but I am beginning to think that he has been using this Domino identity for along time and it may have become who he is more so than his real identity . " Phantom said .
" I thought most masks with the luchador community or in wrestling in general had their own stories and meanings behind them ? " Steve asked .
" They do , why ? " Phantom asked .
" Then would the meaning behind Domino ' s mask be the way to figure out what his identity is and how to stop him ? " Steve asked .
" It could be , " Phantom said .
" So , what exactly is the meaning behind your mask ? And how did you come up with the mask you wear ? " Chase asked .
" The meaning is to determine ones personality or mental state , my mask was taken mostly by the love I had for Rorschach . " Phantom said .
" As in the DC comics character from the Watchmen ? " Kazarian asked .
" Yes , the Rorschach character and mask from Rorschach was thought of from what is called the Rorschach test which is a psychological test using an inkblot to test ones mental or personality through what one sees in the inkblot . Each persons response is different and is determined by what is going on with both their mental and personality state . I ' ve had other influences , too , but Rorschach is the main one to give me the idea behind the mask I wear as a luchador . " Phantom said .
" Who else influenced you ? " Daniels asked curiously .
" Suicide , Psicosis , even Jeff Hardy ' s Willow character was an inspiration to the mask I wear , but I was also trained and influenced by Low Ki and Homicide , while I have worked for Konnan and with Hernandez in the past . " Phantom said looking out the window as they came to it .
" Why hide your identity ? " Chase asked curiously .
" Because some may see me being apart of the wrestling world as not such a good idea as my past has a lot of shadows and darkness in it that some would think it would benefit them to keep my name out of professional wrestling as a whole . But , one day I will fight to restore the honor my family once had as it doesn ' t seem completely hopeless since I know that their is at least one person in the wrestling world who doesn ' t see who I truly am as a problem . " Phantom said as Steve sat in the windowsill next to Phantom .
" Who truly sees you for what you are ? " Andy asked .
" Grace , " Phantom said .
" Grace isn ' t exactly the best person to be crediting right now kid . " Daniels said .
" You really think that she is behind KHAOS when it was Grace the first one to notice Domino stealing stuff and wouldn ' t allow such dishonor to come into the Saints by telling David Young and Sigmon the truth , because of what the Extended Family in TNA had built the foundation of TNA upon which includes honor and truth . Daniels , all do respect to your opinion due to Low Ki saying good things about you , but I can honestly tell you that you are wrong about Grace being apart of KHAOS . " Phantom said as Chase glared at Daniels .
" Whatever and what ' s your problem , Chase ? " Daniels asked .
" You still blaming Grace for everything considering that both she and Chris were the last ones attacked and that Grace has a reliable alibi for her whereabouts during every other attack on the family . " Chase in disbelief at the way Daniels was acting .
" She was with Chase when KHAOS caused the Wildcat ' s wreck , CD . " Frankie having enough of what Daniels was pushing onto Grace .
" And you constantly accusing her of things she didn ' t do is causing her a lot of stress man . " Andy said .
" Not my problem , " Daniels walked off .
" Somebody can ' t take a hint . " Steve shook his head .
" Apparently not , " Phantom said .
" So , what are we going to do about the tag match that Grace and I have against Ron and Ryan ? " Steve asked .
" Grace should be back on her feet soon , so , leave the tag match until we know for sure you guys can ' t be apart of it . " Chase said .
" Maybe , I should think about acting sooner on that manager idea for Grace that Shane mentioned . " Andy said .
" You are going to be managing , Grace ? " Frankie asked .
Andy explained to them what Shane had planned for Grace and possibly Phantom and Steve .
" You maybe just getting Phantom and Grace as I have a different deal lined up for me after the Street Fight . " Steve said .
" And that would be what exactly ? " Phantom asked .
" Its classified man , " Steve said .
" So , what does Phantom say about the managing idea ? " Andy looked at the luchador .
" I like the idea , but know that I maybe in and out of the country coming up soon due to things I have going on with AAA in Mexico . " Phantom said .
" Then maybe I should talk things out with Grace . " Andy said as Phantom and Steve left .
" She is in a room now . " Storm said walking up to them .
" Is she asleep or what ? " Andy asked .
" She ' s mostly dozing off at the moment , why ? " Storm asked .
" I want to talk to her . " Andy said .
" Alright , I will take you to her . " James said as he and Andy walked off to Grace ' s room .
" What do you know ? The Motorcity Machine Guns are the last original tag team still standing that hasn ' t gone off and done separate things since they have come together as a team , what a momentous occasion . " Frankie said .
" You want a cookie or something ? " Chase asked .
" No , " Frankie said .
Grace ' s Hospital Room
A knock came at the door to the hospital room Grace was currently in before James and Andy walked in .
" Hide my jello , " Grace said covering up her red jello hiding it from Andy .
" Funny , " Andy said .
" Everything okay ? " Grace asked Storm .
" For now , little one , are you getting your feeling back into your body ? " James asked .
" I am , " Grace said .
" Good , we can ' t have you hurt . " Andy said .
" Where ' s your partner ? " Grace asked looking for Chase .
" He went to check on the kids , but I have something I need to talk to you about . " Andy said .
" What ? " Grace asked .
Andy explained to her the manager idea that Shane had came up with the other night as far as him managing Grace .
" You are going to become my manager ? " Grace asked .
" That ' s the plan . " Andy said .
" What is it going to cost me ? " Grace asked .
" Just you allowing me to fine tune you to how the wrestling world works a little better , Grace . " Andy said .
Grace thought about it for a moment and knew it would help her and her career if she had Andy to show her how things worked a little better than she was doing now .
" What about Chase and the Naturals ? " Grace asked .
" This won ' t effect that after you turn face when the Saints deal is through . " Andy said .
" Alright , I except , just don ' t turn me into a vampire , Count Douglas . " Grace said eating her jello before Andy got any ideas .
" Never , " Andy chuckled rubbing her head .
" Shane was right about Grace being a force to be reckoned with when she gets to TNA . " James said .
" Maybe , one day I will get the chance to go against you , Uncle James . " Grace smiled .
" We ' ll see , " Storm said .
" I ' ll win , too . " Grace whispered to Andy with a wink .
" Yeah , " Andy chuckled .
