Chapter Eight – 9 Steps to Victory, 8 Steps to Defeat
In the arena 7 hours before the Smackdown tapings in San Diego, CA:
The Amazing Cameron, the ARK and GPS came out into the arena and stood with Amy and Shawn who along with Johnny, Torrie and Matt Hardy were consoling Melina who was suffering terribly thanks to the waves of pain Simone Alexandra was sending through her body. Simone was channeling some demonic power from her red dress, the red coming from the blood it was drenched in not the dress itself, Simone was being guarded by the Legend Killer whose young born again spirit she had manipulated to carry out her terrorization of Trish Stratus, who would not give up The Rock as Simone demanded. Hearing Melina's cries of pain was getting to the Canadian Women's Champ; Melina had become like a baby sister to her it wasn't fair that she should suffer because of what Simone wanted and she curled her lip in disgust at the little girl from Miami, FL.
"You're a spoiled little brat Simone, how long are you gonna keep this up?" Rocky asked his baby girl angrily and Simone narrowed her eyes and gave her father a dangerous glare.
"As long as you two are together, Melina is gonna need a wheelchair to get out of this arena," she replied and Shawn gasped and turned to his son.
"Whatever you're gonna do son do it now before Melina loses consciousness," he said.
"Dad we're on it, come on Shaul and Dominic follow us!" The Amazing Cameron called to his friends who with LC and Cheyenne followed Cameron down the 9 steps to where Simone had Trish cornered.
"Get back or I'll cripple Melina with more pain!" Simone barked her voice a garbled growl like some demonic beast rather than a 7 year old girl.
"That's enough!" Trish cried out hearing Melina screaming from the top of the arena.
Cheyenne tackled Simone to the ground and held her down with Phenomenal Strength.
"Argh, get off me!" Simone yelled, "Randy get her off me!"
Orton went to grab Cheyenne off Simone by her long raven black hair but before he could touch her his hand froze over.
"What's happened to my hand?" he said in shock and LC smiled over at her little sister who Hunter was holding next to The Rock and Trish.
"At a girl Hurricane Aurora," she said and Ro-Ro clapped her ice cold hands together to show her supernatural support.
"Shaul and Dominic hold hands with us," Cameron said holding LC's hand while Cheyenne wrestled Simone's from under her.
"It's no use you'll never get rid of me, I am the Spirit of Cain I cannot be stopped!" Simone roared but Cheyenne took her hand in her own and freed the other one for Dominic to take.
"Okay Dominic take Simone's hand," Cameron said and Dominic took the possessed girl's hand in his own, as soon as he did Simone's ashen face began to soften and Melina's pain began to stop.
"Oh man what just happened?" Randy said coming out of his daze and he noticed the blood on his hands, "What is this?" he said fearfully.
"That's what we're gonna find out, let's go to the police and get this blood sampled I think it'll help us figure out what's going on with Simone's red dress," The Amazing Cameron said and Randy Orton looked over at the little girl hugging her father lovingly without a care in the world.
"What are all these kids doing here?" he asked confused.
"They wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you RKO-ing innocent people," Hunter replied.
"What is with you Orton, it seems like every minute you got a demon possessing you I say you change your merchandize, that skull on your t shirts is obviously behind all this," MVP said and Orton rolled his eyes.
"MVP's running his mouth I must be on Smackdown," Randy quipped sarcastically and looked up at Melina and Johnny and remembered he hadn't apologized for RKO-ing Johnny on RAW.
"So is he okay now?" Johnny said to Amy as Randy came towards them and Amy shook her head.
"I don't know, better ask the ARK Angels," she replied smiling at the young children dancing around with Simone, happiness returning to the little girl's face at last. Melina eyed the Legend Killer suspiciously as he came over to her and her husband with good intentions to kiss and make-up, well make-up anyway.
"Johnny I'm sorry I RKO-d you I haven't been myself recently," Randy said and Johnny rolled his eyes.
"Really, I hadn't noticed?" he said sarcastically caressing his wife protectively, his hand circling her womb within which his unborn child was growing.
"I think you should work with the ARK Angels Randy and get to grips with this Spirit of Cain, at least that way you won't be in the dark about what's happening to you," Melina said.
"And I'd really like the rest of my wife's pregnancy to go smoothly, working with the ARK Angels would be a good step in that direction Orton," Johnny said and Randy nodded.
"Okay, I'll go with them to the police station," Randy said.
"I'll come with you," Amy said.
"Shawn do you think you can smooth things over with Ric while I'm gone? I'd like to have a job to come into on Monday night." Randy asked the co-owner of the WWE and Shawn nodded warmly.
"No-one's gonna fire you Randy, you obviously aren't RKO-ing anyone on purpose, go get some answers I'll talk to Flair," Shawn answered and Randy hugged Shawn gratefully and Hunter watched 9 steps down with increasing intrigue.
"Trish you can't lie right?" Hunter asked the relieved blond from Toronto who frowned at him confused, "could you tell me what's going on with Shawn and Orton?"
"What are you talking about Helmsley, I've had enough of this Truth-telling ability nonsense," she replied irritated and turned to the Rock and squeezed him tight, "Can we go home after the show? These guys are driving me nuts with all their Christian mumbo-jumbo," he asked The Brahma Bull who stroked Simone's hair lovingly relieved she was okay.
"I gotta take Simone home first," Rocky answered.
"I wanna stay with Uncle Rey daddy," Simone said eagerly and The People's Champ looked over at Rey Mysterio.
"Are you cool with Simone spending the night with Dominic and Aaliyah?" he asked and Rey nodded and Rocky turned back to his true love, "then we can go home after the Smackdown tapings and have a good night's sleep at last," The Rock said and Trish smiled gratefully.
"Now what's God gonna give me that's better than that?" she said and The Rock and Trish kissed passionately much to everyone's enjoyment and Simone's utter indifference.
LC turned to Cameron, "So that's it everything's okay now right? We can go home after the Smackdown tapings and try and get the rest of this green paint out of my hair," she said but Cameron narrowed his brow.
"What's wrong Cameron?" Shaul asked squeezing the Amazing One's arm compassionately and LC's eyes lit up like volcanic larva at the gesture.
"That's what's wrong," Cameron said as LC chased the little mamacita up and down the San Diego convention center. Cheyenne noticed her brother's concerned expression and sat down next to him as Shaul ran for her life.
"Wanna talk about it lil' man?" Chey asked her little brother who sighed in frustration.
"Oh Chey, you have no idea what's its like being a stud," he said sincerely and Cheyenne felt her ears thinking he was talking about earrings.
"No I can't say that I do," she said innocently and Kane sat down next to Cameron.
"You want my advice son, you might wanna try one of these," he said handing Cameron his old mask which Cameron took and thought putting it on, "It's worth a try,"
"Hey Uncle Glenn you said I could have that mask," Cheyenne complained.
"Now-now Chey what has this experience with Simone taught you about the spirit of jealousy?" Cameron admonished his little sister but before Cheyenne could change her mind Kane changed his and gave his littlest fan the mask he had worn for almost a decade.
"I'm sorry Cameron, unlike God I like to play favorites, this whole experience hasn't taught me a damn thing," Kane said as Cheyenne put on the mask and jumped up heading for her father and scared the Showstoppa half to death and Kane laughed in typical Kane fashion, "I think you sister's been watching my matches a little too closely, if she wasn't so short I'd be scared of her too,"
"What am I gonna do about Shaul, I need her to stay holy in case Simone gets attacked by the Spirit of Cain again," Cameron said wearily, "now she's turned my girlfriend into a jealous girlfriend,"
"As a man that has had more than his fair share of women problems I'd ask your father, he seems to be better with the ladies than I am," Kane replied and Cameron sighed.
"And I'm following in his footsteps," Cameron said regretfully and Kane noticed the sadness in Cameron's voice.
"You say that like it's a bad thing Cameron, your dad is one of the greatest wrestlers this world has ever seen, you should be proud of that," Kane said in an uncharacteristically compassionate voice.
"I know the locker room respects my dad and I know the wrestling fans around the world worship at his feet, but you don't know him the way I do, I'm always gonna hold my dad responsible for the death of my mother," Cameron said and Kane's face lost color, more so than usual at The Amazing Cameron's admission.
"I thought I had problems," Kane said as Cameron walked up the 9 steps to the arena seating area to sit by himself and pray. A hard slap came upside the Big Red Machine's Big Bald Head suddenly and Kane got to his feet and eye-balled his arch rival Triple H.
"What did you say to Cameron?" The Cerebral Assassin asked seeing Cameron saddened expression, "he's not his usual cocky self,"
"I'm not one to make psychological assessments of the well-being of young children but I think Simone might not be the only child suffering from the Curse of the Firstborn," Kane replied and The Game frowned and went to find his new business partner and tell him some news that he wasn't gonna wanna hear about his Firstborn son.
