I do not own WWE the wrestlers or Divas just the storyline plot and any oc character who may show up within the story.

Author's note: This is not apart of my stories that I have done with Roman and Dean before, this is a new story much like how my other story Countdown is, however, for those of you who have read my WWe stories please let me know what you would like to see happen next. If you want Roman to have his powers like he does in Lockdown Asylum for example, of you want this one to be a little more realistic then please let me know. I would love to get your feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

Previously on Once Revived, Twice Broken -"You want to trust this dumb ass again after everything he fucking put us through?" Dean asked trying to keep the tone of anger from his voice even though it wasn't working. "Are you out of your fucking mind!" Another stab of violent pain flowed through Dean as he closed his eyes and waited for the pain to die down again. "Dean, you need to stay calm." Roman said softly. "I can't believe you want to trust him again Rome. Great, now I feel like I'm getting betrayed again." "Dean, I'm not betraying you." Roman tried to interject but Dean ignored him. "I never thought it would ever come to this." Roman let out a heavy sigh. just as Seth interrupted. "Dean, stop it okay? Roman's not betraying you." "Stay out of this you psycho, sadistic, egotistical, maniacal, lying bastard!"

"Dean, he saved my father." Roman finally admitted much to the Lunatic Fringe's shock and surprise as he blinked his eyes in confusion. "Wait, what?" "My father's alive. He's not dead." Dean shook his head lightly in disbelief. "That's not possible. I saw him Rome. I saw Sika being killed. Tommy and Sami murdered him!"

Roman let out a heavy sigh again as he placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. "If it wasn't fr Seth, my father most likely would be dead right now." He continued on as Dean slowly nodded in response. There was another brief moment of silence between them before Dean finally broke the tension. Speaking in a soft manner but yet keeping his eyes firmly locked in a mixture of both anger and regret he replied, "He does this kind of shit to us again, it's on you."

"You betray us again, You won't have anything to worry about, because I'll kill you myself. You got that? I'm gonna put your ass so far into the ground, you going to be swimming in the pits of tartarus." The Lunatic Fringe's eyes were cold and full of anger and hate as he stared at the Architect who just drew in a deep breath and nodded in response. "So does this mean that we're the Shield again?" Seth asked softly as he stuck out his fist. Roman followed as they both turned toward Dean now and waited. "What do you say Dean? Your the leader of this faction, what do we do?" Dean cracked a small smile and with one hand free he curled his fingers into a fist and joined the other two. "Guess the Shield's back."

Windows shattered causing broken glass to fall everywhere as the three newly-formed Hounds of Justice where thrown to the floor upon impact. "What the hell was that?!" Seth asked looking around while shaking out pieces of glass from his hair. "Everyone alright?" Roman asked while looking around for a sign of Dean. "Dean?"

"What the hell is going on here?!" Roman shouted out as he tried to make it back to his feet. "Who the hell are you guys?!"

A hard punch to his head set the Big Dog reeling as he could hear cries of pain coming from Seth and a hard thud to the floor immediatly told Roman that Seth knew he was unconcious. Roman tried to look around for a sight of Dean, but another hard punch this time to his face, sent black spots filling his vision. Fighting the urge not to pass out, The Big Do tried to make it to his feet despite the condition his body was in, but as he lifted his head up to get a better glance of his surroundings, He could just bearly make out the blurry outlines of a person wearing all black clothes, and with a black ski-like mask over his face. "Shut up." Came a deep robotic like voice as the next thing Roman saw was the figure lifting up his leg and this time a hard kick collided with the Big Dog's skull causing him to pass out with at least three of the guys dressed in the same attire all carrying Dean's unconcious body out of the hotel.

NOW...

Chapter 18 - Lost In The Darkness

"Roman? Roman!" The sound of Seth's frantic voice aroused the Big Dog from his daze as he snapped his eyes open in a flash of mixture and worry. Lifting his head up he slowly rose himself to a sitting position and looked around but saw no sign of Dean which made a huge knot begin to settle in the pit of his stomach. "Dean!" He yelled out as panic spread through his veins, pulsing faster and faster. Feeling Seth grip his shoulder's hard Roman felt him gently shaking him as an attempt to keep him calm. "Take it easy Roman." The Architect replied calmly. "Freaking out isn't going to make things better. You need to stay calm." Roman shook his head as he met Seth's eyes with a look of horror and swore as he tried to gather his thoughts. "You don't understand Seth! I can't lose him again!" Forcing himself to take a breath as an overwhelming panic attack consumed him, he soon found it became difficult to breathe as it felt like his airway was almost being constricted.

"Roman, listen to me!" Seth said calmly but yet frantically as he shook the Big Dog by his shoulders again to get his attention. "Listen, we're not going to lose him alright? I think I know who took him." Roman's eyes flashed as he met The Architect's eyes again, this time with a mixture of both anger and guilt. "Of course you would say that." He said his voice showing no hint of emotion as Seth blinked his eyes in confusion. "What are you saying? You think I set this up?" "Wouldn't have been the first time." Roman replied rising to his feet now as Seth shook his head. "No, Roman listen to me! I just showed both of you how sorry I am for the way I treated you guys, why in the hell would I jeopardize that?" Roman shook his head and ran his hand through his long black hair while forcing himself to take a deep breath in as he sat down on the bed.

"Look, I know how worried you are," Seth said calmly after a few seconds of silence between them as he looked at all the damage around them. "But this isn't about me alright? I know who took Dean. It was The Authority." Roman blinked his eyes in a flash of anger as he looked at Seth again. "The Authority? What in the hell would they want with Dean? Haven't those bastards hurt him enough?!"

Seth looked hurt for a second as he stared at the floor now. He knew that it was partially his fault for his own involvment in what had happened to Dean, and a pang of guilt flew through him as he sat down on the bed and buried his head in his hands. "I guess I never really realized how badly I hurt you guys." He said quietly after a few moments. "I am so sorry Roman." A hand on his shoulder made Seth look up to see Roman now with a determind look in his eyes. "There's no time to be feeling sorry for oursleves. We need to find Dean." Seth nodded in determination. "We can use my car to track Hunter and Stephanie down." He said as he headed outside but Roman placed a sudden hand on his shoulder.

"What if they don't have him? How can you be so sure?" Seth looked thoughtful for a second. He knew how crafty Triple H and Stephanie were. After all he had been their so-called "golden boy" for the last two years. "You got a point there." He said with a nod. "All I'm saying is that we should at least think about how we're going to do this before we just jump right in there head first." Seth let out a heavy breath. He knew Roman was right but then again, he also knew that they couldn't afford to waste time. Dean's life was on the line and as it were, he knew the clock was already ticking away.

The first thing Dean was fully aware of was the pounding sensation in his head that was continuing to ache and pound with the thump of his racing heart, and the next thing he became fully aware of was that he was sitting cross-legged on the floor and that his hands were tied to something heavy. Groaning quietly, the Lunatic Fringe tried to move since his back was uncomfortable against the hard surface behind him but immediatly found that he couldn't. He quickly opened his eyes, immediatly knowing that it was a bad idea because wherever he was, was very dim and he felt like his head was about to spin right off his shoulders. What the hell had happened?

The last thing he had remembered was talking with Roman and Seth after he had warned him that he was going to kill him if he had betrayed him again, then there was a few loud noises that sounded like gunshot as windows were being shatttered and everyone was thrown to the ground. He remembered the horrible pain that was ravaging his injured body as he hit the ground, and the figures in black clothing who had attacked them. Shaking his head slightly as he took as deep of a breath as he could, Dean attempted to remain calm. He cast his gaze toward the hard floor, realizing that his hands were tied tightly behind his back, a sharp feeling of fear pierced his stomach. Wherever he was, it was obviously against his will. And the worst part was, he was alone.

He closed his eyes for a moment, willing his heart rate to slow. He needed to think, and he couldn't do that with the loud pounding that was echoing in his ears. He just had to try to remain calm and figure out what to do. Panicking wouldn't help. And it wasn't as though he wasn't used to the feeling of being alone– he had been alone for as long as he could remember. But this... this was different... Suddenly, his eyes snapped open again. A quiet sound was heard over his own pounding heart– a whisper of breath, short and shallow. But at that moment, it was the best sound he had ever heard. Someone was in the room with him.

Squinting slightly, Dean finally noticed a dark figure approaching him. It was so dimly lit that he hadn't even noticed the second person in the small space with him before. The other person was so close that his legs, although standing was nearly touching Dean, and the limited lighting made it difficult to see who it was, and the only thing he could see clearly was the dark hair that was hanging over the other person's face, concealing their features even more. Then, he saw a flash of icy blue suddenly staring at him and his heart began to race in fear now which wasn't good for his head as it continued to pound more painfully then before. "Sa... Sami?"

Attempting to push away from the wall behind him, wincing until a course of pain shot through him, he immediatly sat still and leaned back again. There wasn't much he could do with his hands tied anyway, so instead, he slowly uncurled one leg and stretched it out in front of him, an action which took more effort than it usually should have since his muscles were so stiff to the point where it was painful. After taking as small of a breath as he could, and once the pain in his legs died down, Dean tried to move again but this time a hand to his shoulder made him flinch in fear.

"What's wrong Dean?" Sami asked as his blue eyes narrowed at him and a sadistic smile spread across his face. "Are you scared? Thought you were supposed to be the fearless leader of the Shield?" Dean winced in pain as he tried to move again despite the horrible agony that was ravaging through his insides. "Why are you doing this?" He managed weakly through clenched teeth. Sami's sadistic smile grew wide and his eyes seemed to give off an evil glare. "Why?" He gave off an evil laugh that caused a shiver of fear to course down Dean's spine. "I already told you Dean." Sami replied leaning in close to the Lunatic Fringe's ear which caused him to flich in fear. "You and I were never friends. I was just using you."

"I don't believe that." He managed again wincing as another course of pain shot through him. A hard slap to the side of his head suddenly sent the Lunatic Fringe reeling as black spots now began to fill his vision. "You better believe it." Sami replied harshly leaning in close to Dean's ear again. "You know what I saw in you the first time we met Dean?" He asked as Dean slowly shook his head in response. "The only thing I saw was a coward. Just a scared little boy who's all talk with no bite." A sadistic laugh sent a shiver of fear through Dean's spine, but he knew he had to be strong. There was no way in hell he was about to prove Sami's claim.

"Let's see if we can put that theory to the test shall we Dean?" "Go to fucking hell." The Lunatic Fringe managed as he spit some blood that had formed inside his mouth. "That little outburst just earned you a spot in the cage Ambrose." Sami replied in a harsh whisper, and the next thing that Dean felt was a harsh stab of pain to his already bruised and battered midsection which was then followed swiftly by a sickening crunch. Dean held back a scream of agony and tears filled up in his eyes as he tried not to show any kind of emotion against Sami. "You say your not a dog then huh Dean? Then let's see it." his captor replied with a challanging order. "Come on Ambrose, come on let's see you bark. Bark like the damn dog you are!" Another hard kick came to his torso and once again the Lunatic Fringe remained as quiet as he could despite the raging sea of pain he knew he's body was in. Bark!" Sami ordered loudly as a hard punch this time came to the side of his head now nearly breaking his nose as Dean just groaned in pain. "Bark!" Sami ordered again. "Bark you fucking damn dog!"

By the time the rounds of torture had finally ceased Dean was sure he had obviously passed out several times from the trauma and pain, and as he opened his eyes now to catch a glimpse of his new surroundings now, the first thing he saw was a blinding flash of light that hit his eyes. Letting out a groan of pain and raising a weakned arm to shield his eyes from the light, he then took a moment to look around, and immediatly he realised that he lying down in a kennel. Raising his head slightly he then looked down and realised with a pit of fear peircing his stomach that not only was in trapped in a fucking dog kennel but that the kennel was suspended in the air. "Great." The Luantic Fringe found himself muttering now as he waited for the pain in his ribcage to die down. "Can't get any worse then this I guess."

Just then the sound of a nearby door alerted him as he turned his gaze toward the source of the noise and noticed Sami walking in along with several other people who were all wearing masks over their faces's. "Well well what do you know?" Sami said taking notice that the Lunatic Fringe was awake. "Looks like the little doggy's awake. What shall we do with him now?" "Let's play with him." Said one of the guys in masks. "Excellent idea, but we don't want to tire him out now." Sami said as his blue eyes bore right into Dean's. "Besides I would rather wait until his other doggy friends come to get him." Sami continued. "That way we can have all the fun we want while the other dogs watch and suffer." A short sadistic laugh tore through the small room that Dean found himself in and another stab of fear quickly pierced through Dean's stomach as his thoughts now turned toward Roman and Seth. This is bad. He thought trying not to panic. This is really bad.
