Chapter 64: Backlash
It had finally come. The night everyone had been waiting for, especially Batista and Vixen. They waited anxiously in their locker room for the pay-per-view to start. Of course Batista's match would be the last match of the evening, while Vixen found out her match would take place right after Kane and Viscera's. Vixen smiled at the thought of Kane making a match with Viscera partly for what he did to her earlier on in the week. First there was the Tag-Team titles on the line, with the Green Hurricane and Rosey winning. Vixen had always liked them, they were so sweet and funny. There was Edge versus Chris Benoit, that they were all eager to watch. Batista and Vixen could only imagine how upset Stacy was when Edge pulled out that brick and hit Chris to win the match. Vixen didn't have any time to go and ask if she was all right, since all the divas had been asked into the ring to promote their new magazine with King. However that was interrupted by Chris Masters and his Master Lock challenge.
Once he had finished the monitor showed Lita in the back watching the ring, getting ready for the match between Kane and Viscera. Kane appeared and asked if she was ready, saying she was and kissed him. Vixen and Batista couldn't help but smile at the sight of those two. Who would've guessed Kane and Lita together? Vixen watched the match intently as Kane pretty much destroyed Viscera. However she wasn't all that surprised to see Trish nowhere in sight, probably scared of Kane. Vixen gasped when Viscera grabbed Lita and threw her into the ring.
Kane was still recovering from Viscera's last attack, and could only watch as Viscera brought Lita into the ring. She tried to fight back, but Viscera was just too strong. Viscera then threw her into the corner and tried to kiss her. Before he could, Kane came up behind him and drove him into the mat with a chokeslam, and covered him for the win. As soon as the bell rang, Kane got up and checked on Lita, to find that she was all right. Lita raised his wrist in victory, as he lifted her into his arms and carried her backstage.
Once they were out of sight, a stagehand knocked on the door to let Vixen know her match was next. Vixen looked over at Batista, who smiled at her, letting her know he believed in her. He walked up to her and gathered her in his arms and kissed her sweetly. "You're going to win, I know it," he whispered. Vixen nodded, knowing he wouldn't lie to her. She looked in the mirror to see if she looked all right in her outfit. She was wearing a black tank top with chains looping in the front, with black pants that had red ribbon cris-crossing down the sides, with a chain belt. She also had fingerless gloves that went up to her elbows, and black boots that stopped at the knees.
"I'm ready," she stated with confidence in her voice as she headed down to the curtain alone. It filled Batista with pride to see his woman so ready, and determined to fight for what she deserved.
Go get'em Vixen, he thought as he sat down on the couch to watch the match.
Vixen heard Trish's music as she waited at the curtain for her own to play. She took a deep breath, and heard 'Where Will You Go' by Evanescence play throughout the arena. And that same song is going to play right after I win, she smirked and walked through the curtain. The cheers from the crowd overwhelmed and surprised her. The audience was with her, and she would not disappoint them.
Vixen stopped at the apron, and stared down her opponent in the ring. After a moment, she jumped up onto the apron and slipped in between the ropes. Trish glared at her, as Vixen glared right back. Once that bell rang, it was on, and neither woman was backing down.
Both women charged each other, locking up in the middle of the ring. Trish slipped out and put Vixen in a headlock, which only led to Vixen wrapping her arms around Trish and sidewalk slamming her into the mat. Wow, that match with Batista really helped, Vixen smirked in her mind. She regained her focus when Trish got back to her feet. Vixen launched herself into the ropes to clothesline Trish, who simply pulled her Matrix move and avoided it. Before Vixen could halt herself from bouncing off the other ropes, Trish had gotten up and clotheslined her instead. Trish went for the cover, with Vixen kicking out at two. Both women quickly got to their feet, thinking of a new strategy. Vixen figured there wasn't time for strategy, and simply speared Trish to the mat and punched her mercilessly.
Trish finally got a thumb into Vixen's eye, causing her to roll off of her and try to clear her vision again. Trish didn't even give her the chance, and charged her into the corner. Vixen met her with a boot to the face, watching as Trish backed away to regain her senses. Vixen climbed up to the third rope, and did an ultimate clothesline across her throat. Vixen went for the cover, only to have Trish kick out at two. Vixen got to her feet, and did a leg drop across Trish's torso, and went for the cover again. Trish simply kicked out again, and grabbed Vixen's hair to flip her over shoulder and start punching her in the face.
The referee was able to intervene and get Trish off of Vixen. Trish went back onto the assault, and tried to clothesline Vixen through the ropes, only to have Vixen pull down the first rope and watch Trish flip over it to the floor. She quickly followed her and kicked her in the back. Trish tried to get up and punch her, only to feel Vixen grab her arm and throw her into the steel steps.
Everyone gasped at the loud bang that echoed throughout the arena. Vixen quickly slipped back into the ring to break the count. Before she could roll out to go after Trish, she felt the title belt hit her upside the head. Vixen fell to the floor, knowing that the referee didn't see it. Trish threw the title away, and hauled Vixen back into the ring. She positioned her for an elbow drop from the top rope. Vixen felt the air be forced out of her lungs as Trish's elbow connected to her chest. Trish went for the cover, to have Vixen barely kick out at two.
Trish jumped up to argue with the referee, not noticing Vixen getting up, a death glare on her face. She grabbed Trish by the hair and threw her into ropes, clotheslining her straight to the mat. Vixen made her way to the turnbuckle again, ready to climb up the third rope, when she felt two feet lock around her neck. Before she knew it, she was hurled off the third rope across the ring into the opposite turnbuckle. Trish jumped up and went for a Chick Kick with Vixen trapped in the corner. However an elbow to the face stopped her, followed by a body slam. As Trish lay there in the middle of the mat, Vixen knew that this was it, it was now or never.
Once again, she climbed up onto the rope, the crowd cheering immensely for her. Vixen got ready, saw that Trish would dodge it soon if she didn't do it now. Vixen pointed to the sky, giving a silent prayer that this would work. With another breath, she flipped backwards to perform a perfect Moonsault. She went for the cover...1...2...3! As soon as the bell rang, Vixen jumped up all around the ring, screaming her head off. She felt the referee lift her wrist, and hand her the title she had fought so hard for.
"Here is your winner, and new Women's Champion, VIXEN!" Lillian announced loudly and proudly. Vixen had tears in her eyes as she held the title to her chest. Trish had gotten up and left up the ramp in anger and embarrassment. Vixen looked up just in time to see Batista slip into the ring through the ropes. She literally jumped into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. Batista spun her around, looking up into her eyes.
"I did it!" she cheered.
"Hell yeah!" Batista replied and kissed her hotly in the middle of the ring. Before Vixen knew it, she was now on Batista's shoulder, holding the title up high. After a while Batista finally let her down, and kissed her again. "I knew you'd do it," he told her as he held her close. Vixen pulled back with a smile on her face and raised both their wrists, both champions holding their titles high.
Batista and Vixen's celebration was cut short when HHH's music began to play. HHH appeared at the top of the ramp with Ric Flair, not willing to wait anymore for their match to begin. "Lauren, I don't want you down here for this match," Batista told her.
"Batista I'm not leaving you down her alone while HHH has Flair in his corner," Lauren replied. Batista figured there was no point in arguing with her, and simply nodded. Lauren gave him a kiss on the cheek and stepped out of the ring. Batista put his title down and waited for HHH to step into the ring. This is going to be one hell of a match, Lauren thought as the two men got ready to fight for what they felt was theirs.
A/N: Okay everyone. I apologize for taking so long. It was not fair to you. But I can tell you this...the dream lives on for this fic to continue. And I hope you enjoyed that Vixen won! Lol. Thank you all for sticking with me :)
