Chapter 4
Author's note- I want to thank everyone that is reading the story. And if you like it then don't forget to review.
Daniels had just gotten done telling Jake, AJ, and Traci the story of Senshi jumping him. "Well it seems like he is starting more and more like Gangster Ki. Next thing you know Julies Smokes will come out with him," Traci says. "Or he was just trying to finish off Chris again," AJ says. "Yeah but he has never jumped some one out of the arena before," Jake says.
"Jake this is starting to worry me," Traci says. "Hey you're not the one that is going to get doubled stomped by the guy," Jake says trying to make a joke. "Not really the time to joke," AJ says. "Yeah but stress isn't good for my wife right now," Jake says. "Jake I just want to warn you I have bad feeling about Senshi. A lot of people don't know this but he was the one that brought me and Skipper into S.E.X. and then XXX," Daniels says.
"Look I know this is going to be a dangerous match. Hell it terms of pure ability it may be the toughest match I have ever had in TNA, but I don't intend to let anybody get take my title. Besides one I know about myself is that I can take a beating and keep on going," Jake says. "Yeah but…" AJ starts to say but Jake puts his hand up. "Look I have to do an interview. AJ can I see you alone real quick," Jake says as he leaves placing the NWA title belt on his shoulder. AJ gets up and follows outside of the room.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Jake asks after AJ closes the door. "What?" AJ asked confused. "AJ, Traci is pregnant. Like I said in there, stress isn't good for her," Jake says. "Look Jake I'm sorry," AJ says. "I know but she is going to be worried about me. The last thing she needs is anybody reinforcing that fear. Look AJ if Ashley…" Jake stops midway though the sentence. "Ashley wasn't she the girl that lost your baby in high school?" AJ asks. Jake just nods.
"Jake I'm sorry I just wasn't thinking," AJ says. "It's alright. But when you suffer a loss like that you just get jumpy about it happing again," Jake says. Jerry Lynn walks up. "Hey Jake come on you supposed to be in the ring by now," Jerry says. "Yeah, Yeah I'm coming," Jake says.
Jake made his way to the ring where Senshi and Jim Cornet. Jake hoped over the top rope so he wouldn't have to bend down and take his eyes off of Senshi. "Alright gentlemen I brought you both out here so we could sign the contract for your upcoming world title match," Cornet said.
"Now hold up you stupid Gringo," Konnan said standing at the Spanish announce table. The LAX made there way to the ring. Konnan said something in Spanish and then spoke English. "Now what do know TNA finally decided to give a Latino a shot at the world title," Konnan said. "Do you have a reason for standing up or did you just decide to torture people?" Jake asks.
"I just came down here to remind out brother Senshi that we have his back. But now that I am here I might as well point out that you are the proof of the racism in the company. You nothing but a drug addict! You piece of whit trash shit! Yet you get title shots you get on the PPV's posters," Konnan yells.
Jake and Konnan were face to face. Senshi stepped between the two men. "Now Konnan why I understand what you are saying. This is not about race. This is about the two best wrestlers going after the NWA title. So I asks that you leave and allow Reed and to finish up," Senshi said.
Homicide suddenly stepped up and got in Senshi's face. "What is wrong with you? Take our help. You don't think that Cornet wants to screw you. You are the last guy they want with more gold," Homicide yelled at his prize student. "I want to do this on my own," Senshi yells. Both men look at each other and then Homicide turned to leave. The rest of the LAX followed.
"Ok now that the circus is gone we can get back to work. Now Jake as champion sign first," Jim say as he hands Jake the contract and a pen. Jake takes a quick second to read it over and then signs the contract. Jake then hands the contract to Senshi. Senshi signs the contract.
Senshi takes the microphone from Cornet and speaks. "Oh and Jake…" Senshi hits Jake with the microphone. LAX returns to the ring and starts beating down on Jake. AJ and Daniels run out to make the save. Hernandez and Konnan cut them off. Homicide holds Jake while Senshi takes the pen and starts to stab Jake with it. Cornet can't stand by and takes the clip board and tries to whack Hernandez with it but Konnan jumps him. The crowd erupts as someone jumps the security rail.
It's Steve Corino and he has a chair. He whacks Homicide with it and then he goes after Senshi and finally Hernandez and Konnan. The LAX runs off. Jake is bleeding badly. Senshi's and Homicide's are covered in blood. Homicide takes his one finger and runs it across the camera smearing the lens in blood.
Everyone is checking on Jake. "Get the trainers out here now!" AJ yells. Jake tries to stand. His face is covered in blood and he fails to one leg. Steve and AJ let Jake lean on them and help him to the back.
In the back Paul Heyman watches as Jake is helped to the back. "This is going better than I ever could have planned," Paul says with an evil smile on his face. "He is running himself right into the ground," the new client says. "And soon it will be the end of Jake Reed and the title will be ours," Paul says.
Jake comes out of the trainers room with a bandage on his head. Traci, AJ, and Corino are waiting for him. It' clear Traci has been crying. "It just looks a lot worse then it really is. Hell I got busted open a lot more that time the entire Jarrett army lured me into the ring for a beat down," Jake says.
"Don't lie to me," Traci says throwing her arms around his neck. "I'm not lying. I'm going to be fine," Jake says. "Steve, thank you. If you hadn't come out when you did it could have been a lot worse," Traci says. "It was nothing," Steve says. "Steve I'm grateful but what are you doing here. I thought you said you wanted to go back to the AWA and work in Japan," Jake says.
"Yeah well I heard about you facing Low… Senshi. I know how close he and Homicide are so I figured you would need help," Steve says. "I think you just saw a chance to go after Homicide again," Jake says. "What do you care? I just saved you ass," Steve says. "Yeah and I have saved you how many time in Japan," Jake says. "Well you saved him at least four times from me and the prophecy," AJ says. "No one asked you," Steve says.
