Chapter 14
Reunions
Author Note- Just a quick reminder reviews inspire me to write and I like to know what you would like to see happen. I also make some references to past stories in this so if you haven't seen any of my previous work go back and read them starting with Hidden Truth.
It was time for Impact. There was still no final word on who would get the next title shot. Meanwhile the locker room was also talking about Danielson's comments about Jake. A number of people were also worried about what Jarrett was going to do since he had been telling anyone that would listen that he was getting his shot at Jake.
Jeff Jarrett's music played to start the show. Jarrett and Steiner made there way into the ring with Jeff holding a microphone. "Alright no more games. No more loopholes. No more excuse. Jake Reed you have been walking around with my belt for to long. Now get out here and give me the rematch I should have gotten a long time ago," Jeff says. The crowd is already starting to boo.
"Why don't you little idiots go home and bitch on your computers," Jeff says. Scott Steiner takes the microphone. "Jake Reed you little Reed neck get out here now or I will drag you out of here," Scott yells. Jake's music starts to play and he comes out with the NWA title around his waist. "Oh god Jeff do we have to go though this again. Because we all know how it ends you unconscious while I celebrate," Jake says.
"You are talking pretty big for a guy that has been ducking me," Jeff says. "Ducking you? I've been ducking you? You were so afraid of me that at one point you and fat ass D'Amore tried to put me out of wrestling or did you forget the time that I took every finisher the Jarrett Army had. Oh and then in our title match you ran. I mean you ran like the little bitch that you are. If AMW hadn't been so sick of you then you wouldn't have stopped until you hit the ocean. At witch point you would start swimming. So what the hell do you mean by me ducking you?" Jake says pissesd off as hell.
"Because you lost that fire when you won that belt. When you first came in there was something special about you but that was because you were miserable. But now you living the perfect little life and your to happy," Jeff says. "Your right Jarrett I am happy but you know what makes me really…" Bryan Danielson comes out and takes the microphone from Jake. "Now calm down Outlaw. Don't you see what they are trying to do? They want you to charge down there that way the big gorilla and the queen can injury you," Danielson says.
"What the hell care?" Jake asks after taking the microphone back. "Simple I don't you to have any excuse when I beat you," Danielson says. "Hey WWE reject shut up. Now Reed I have challenged you to a title match are you man enough to accept?" Jeff asks.
"You know what Jeff you got five weeks to get ready. Five weeks than you get your last shot at me. So yeah I accept," Jake says. "No you don't," Danielson says. "Hey don't have anything to do with this," Jarrett yells. "Yes I do. I have a contract for a title shot that I can use at any time," Danielson says. "Yeah well now I have a verbal contract," Jarrett says. "You know what Danielson back off. Unless you want to take your shot in five weeks then this doesn't concern you," Jake says. "Here I am trying to do you a favor and you act like a jack ass," Danielson says.
"All right everybody shut up!" Jim Cornet yelled as he walked out. "Cornet you are to late Reed and I have agreed so unless you want to turn him into a liar you have to bend over and take it," Jeff says. "You know what Jeff I didn't come out here to change anything. Because I am looking forward to Jake dropping you right on block head," Jim says. "That's not going to happen come hell or high water I always get my title back," Jeff says.
Danielson turns to leave. "Oh hold on Bryan. Since you are showing up each week I am going to use you. I have this man that amounts to nothing more than a boil on the ass of this spot named Paul Heyman who keeps talking about this new client but I have yet to see the guy so next week it will Paul Heyman's new client taking on Bryan Danielson," Jim says. "Hold on Jimmy I don't work for this company so you don't control me," Danielson says. "But you do work for ROH and I am still commissioner of ring of Honor so next week we have an non TNA showcase," Jim says as Bryan's face sinks.
"I don't believe but somehow that news made him get even whiter in the face," Jake says laughing. "Shut up Reed. Guess what the reason I came out here was to save you because Jarrett's right you have lost that fire that made you great. So either you lose it back to Jarrett or you lose it me the best in the world," Danielson says before leaving. Jake hasn't noticed Jarrett sneak up behind him as he turns around he gets blasted with the guitar. Jeff removes the NWA title from Jake's waist and acts like he has already won it again. Rhino and AJ rush out. Rhino gores Scott while AJ hits Jeff with drop kick causing him to drop the belt. Scott and Jeff run off while Jake struggles to get to his feet.
Paul Heyman and Team 3-D stormed out of there dressing room and went looking for Jim Cornet. "Cornet who the hell do you think you are. How dare you book my new client in a match without me ok," Paul says. "Your boss that's who I am! So Paul if you new client is real and not a creation of you own imagination then he better be here next week," Jim says threateningly before walking away.
Alex Shelly and Eric Young who just happened to be around staring laughing. "Oh shut up Just get out of here," Paul yells as he leaves. "Hey he can't fire me can he?" Eric asks. "Eric… no," Alex says with a disgusted look on his face.
Jake is helped to the back. "I can't believe that lousy SOB got me again with one of those guitars!" Jake yells pissed off. Traci walks up to him. "Jake are you alright?" She asks worried about him. "Yeah I'm fine I just need to spend several hours picking wood out of my hair," Jake says. "Looks like you may need to reunite the Uprising. Knowing Jarrett he has something planned," Traci says.
"Yeah I guess your right but I'm not sure who man of the guys will show up. I mean Christian and Team 3-D are a no," Jake says. "Well were in," AJ says he Daniels, Rhino, and Corino walk up. "You got that right. Last thing we need is Jarrett getting the belt back," Daniels says. "Alright well right now for once we actually have the numbers advantage on Jeff and Scotty," Jake says. "You can count me in," A voice that no one in TNA had heard in a while they all turn around in shock.
Meanwhile Jarrett was holding a meeting in his locker room. "Alright look we all want the belt of Reed. But we all know TNA management wants to protect its golden boy," Jeff says. "He's right," Chris Harris says. "I am undefeated since dumping my dead weight and yet I'm not even getting a look," Harris says. "You know why because TNA wants to dump guys like us the mean that bleed to keep this place going. And all of you almost beat Jake Reed already but who does he his title against. Christian and those LAX bozo's none of who were here when we lost of TV a few years ago. None of who were here when we started to catch fire," Jeff says.
"Jeff I'm in after all I want payback for that black Lex Luger joke Reed made. And Reed will fill the POUNCE!" Monty Brown says. "I am also in Jeff after all my weapon of mass destruction has wanted to break Reed for a while now," James Mitchell says while Abyss stands behind him. Jeff smiles a sick smile knowing that he has once again manipulated people into helping him get back to the top.
Paul Heyman returns to his locker room and sees his new client there. "Well I guess next week is the time," the client says. "No we do this my way," Paul says already forming a plan. "This should be good," the client says. "Well not if you are named Jake Reed," Paul says.
