Chapter Thirteen – Damage Control
The Nashes, Orlando, FL, 8:30pm
Kevin Nash was just getting back from the Impact tapings his wife Tamara was on the phone when he stepped through the door, instead of the usual scowl her face was soft and concerned which told Big Sexy one thing; the Kliq was in trouble.
"Kevin's here, okay we'll be there in the morning," Tamara said and put down the phone and looked up into her husband's curious face, "we got big trouble Big Daddy," she said rushing upstairs to her bedroom.
"Who was that on the phone?" Kevin Nash asked her from the bottom of the stairs knowing it was Shawn, Hunter or Joanie, or worse his mother-in-law.
"It was Joanie, we gotta go to Connecticut something terrible happened at the Smackdown tapings in San Diego," Tamara yelled from her bedroom.
"Oh no," Kevin said sadly knowing how much Shawn and Hunter wanted their first Smackdown production to go well, "what happened did one of the wrestlers get hurt?" he asked concerned.
Tamara threw her overnight bag down the stairs into Kevin's arms and walked down toward him with a somber expression on her face.
"You could say that," Tammy replied looking down, she took a deep breath and told her husband the disturbing news, "Randy Orton RKO'd Melina,"
Kevin dropped the overnight bag, "He what?!" he said in utter disbelief racking his hands through his silver grey hair, "but she's pregnant?"
"I can't believe it myself," Tammy said and pointed to her overnight back, "pick that up we've gotta pick up Tristen you know we can't go to Shawn and Hunter's without him he'd never forgive us,"
"Where's he at again?" Kevin asked dazed almost tripping over the overnight bag.
"He's staying at The Montenegros," Tammy reminded him as they headed to the car.
"Oh yeah," Kevin Nash remembered as they got in and headed for Clearwater, "Tris has really taken a liking to Brandon,"
Tamara rolled her eyes, "I think Miss. Taylor is the one our Firstborn has taken a liking to," she said her mind on poor Melina and her unborn child, "God help you if anything happened to that baby Randy Orton," she cursed clenching her fist wondering what on Earth had gotten into the Legend Killer and it was more than a school boy crush this time.
Rey Mysterio's House, San Diego, CA, 9pm:
The WWE locker room was in a rage with the Legend Killer and DX were caught right in the middle, they had a decision to make and fast: to fire Randy Orton or not to fire him, that was the question.
"Fire his ass!" Batista said and the Smackdown Superstars agreed with him, Hunter looked at Shawn who shook his head in disagreement.
"He was under Simone's power, he didn't do it on purpose!" Shawn argued, "Guys please don't ask us to fire Orton, if we do the devil wins!"
"He RKO'd a pregnant woman!" Victoria said outraged, "What kind of message does it send to the female locker room if you keep him on the roster?"
The other Divas agreed, they already hated Randy for dumping Torrie Wilson and RKO-ing Trish, curse or not the Divas wanted him gone.
"The fans probably thought it was a work, this isn't the first time Randy's RKO'd a woman," Jeff Hardy said and MVP frowned.
"This is a Smackdown conversation, take your Rainbow Colored ass back to Sanford Hardy," MVP said rudely and Jeff pushed Montell back then Matt got in his face.
"Don't talk to my little brother like that," Matt said and Jeff rolled his eyes.
"Matt I don't need you to fight my battles for me," he said, "you don't always have to take care of me,"
Matt Hardy laughed, "Yes I do, I'm the Firstborn it's my job to make sure you're alright at all times,"
"Well Randy may not be my Firstborn but he's like family to me, I think the kid needs help not hate and you all need to pipe down!" Ric Flair said and Shawn nodded, Randy Orton was outside probably hearing everything they were all saying about him, The Rock had taken Simone home, he was free for now.
"He can get help off the roster," Michelle McCool said, "Shawn, Hunter I'm telling you right now if you let Randy Orton stay after what he just did to Melina I'm leaving the WWE,"
Shawn shrugged, "You can be replaced," he said and Hunter did a double take.
"We can replace Michelle but a RKO-ing, demon-hoarding freak we have to keep?" he said and Batista nodded, "Jeff's right Randy's done some pretty diabolical things in character, but this was not a work, Melina is pregnant and God knows if her baby's alright. I'm sorry Shawn Randy's a very talented wrestler but I don't think the WWE is where Orton needs to be right now, the guy's dangerous,"
The Divas and the majority of the wrestlers agreed and Shawn knew he was in the minority where Randy Orton was concerned, until a familiar voice spoke up, "Let me talk to him," said the dark gravelly voice of The Undertaker, "Firstborn to Firstborn," he said.
"What are you gonna say to him Deadman? The only person he's listening to is that little girl and she ain't here," Batista said and Shawn signed at Batista's lack of compassion for his former best friend.
"Well while the ARK Angels are working on her, why don't you let me work on Randy?" The Deadman said and Hunter shrugged.
"I don't see what difference its gonna make but go right ahead, he's outside with Rey and Edge," Hunter said and The Deadman went to find the notorious RKO who was trying to get over what he had done and what was going to happen to him as a result of Simone Alexandra.
"Why do you care so much?" Batista asked Shawn.
"Let's just say I understand what its like to be misunderstood," Shawn replied and followed The Undertaker outside leaving Hunter wondering if there was more to it than that.
"Where's that Big Sexy Bastard when I need him?" Hunter said.
"Tammy said they'll be at The Sandbox tomorrow morning," Chyna said and Hunter kissed her and hugged her tight, he needed to talk to the one man who knew Shawn better than he did.
Cameron and the ARK Angels listened from the next room as the wrestlers tore Randy Orton from limb-to-limb while Amy and Trish were at the hospital with Melina and Johnny.
"Adults can be so short-sighted, of course Randy's dangerous he's being controlled by a demonic spirit that's almost as old as the world," Cameron said pacing back and forth in Rey Mysterio's living room.
"Why don't you tell your dad what God told you about Melina?" LC asked her boyfriend playing with Aurora.
"I can't he doesn't like me talking when adults are around," Cameron said.
"But its important Cam-Cam," Cheyenne said pulling on her brother's leg.
"I know Chey but God said I have to listen to my father and right now daddy doesn't want me in there with those angry wrestlers, I'll undermine his authority," Cameron said, "I'll explain it to mom when she gets back from the hospital,"
"Aunt Mel's gonna be okay right?" Chey asked her big brother.
"Depends on what you mean by okay Chey," Cameron said rubbing his little sister's head.
"What about the baby?" LC asked.
"He'll be fine," Cameron said and LC's eyes opened wide and Ro-Ro stuck her fingers in her gaping mouth.
"You know what sex the baby's going to be?" she said amazed at Cameron's Amazing gift of Wisdom and Cameron smiled knowingly.
"I know a lot more too," he said.
"When can you tell us more?" LC asked curiously taking Aurora's fingers out of her mouth, her fingers were very cold.
"As soon as Trish gets over her jealousy of mom, or else the Spirit of Cain is never gonna leave Melina alone," Cameron said and the ARK Angels held hands and prayed that Trish Stratus would come out of the darkness and see the light.
Outside Rey Mysterio's house the former World Champions gathered around their troubled friend who wanted more than anything to make things right, but he couldn't he didn't know how.
"She's got this hold over me and I can't do anything about it," Randy explained to Rey, Edge, Shawn and Taker, "I would never do this of my own will, Shawn you know how I feel about Melina I would never hurt her or her unborn child," Randy said his eyes pleading with Shawn.
"I believe you Randy I'm not the one who's gunning for you, but the locker room isn't so sympathetic especially since you're behavior's been whacked for months, you dumped Torrie and now the Divas hate you. RKO-ing Melina was the final straw,"
Randy wept into his hands and Edge pulled him into a hug while Rey Mysterio patted his back comfortingly.
"Unless you take a stand against this Spirit of Cain," The Deadman said and Randy looked up at Undertaker wondering what he meant.
"I told you Simone's controlling me I can't stop her," Randy said.
"You can take her mind off Trish and Melina, do that thing you do. You're a heart-throb for crying out loud talk to her about girl stuff, her first kiss, a boy she's got a crush on, stuff like that, anything to take her mind off her father and Trish and stuff she really shouldn't be concerned with," The Deadman said and Shawn, Edge and Rey thought it was a good idea.
"I guess I could give it a try, do you think Hunter will give me one last chance?" Randy asked Shawn who nodded.
"We could make the RKO on Melina look like a work and you can feud with Johnny instead of Cena for the ECW title," Shawn said and Randy blanched.
"ECW, the red-headed stepchild of the WWE?!" Randy said disgusted and Undertaker, Rey and Edge laughed.
"You have to be punished somehow, if you get a match against John Cena for the WWE Championship it will be a really bad message to the Divas and I don't want the girls to think DX endorse violence against women," Shawn said and Orton sighed.
"All sending me to ECW is going to do is make me look guilty, this wasn't my fault I'm being punished for something this demonic spirit is doing. I suggest you talk to you son and find out how much progress the ARK Angels are making because I am not gonna be known as the man responsible for putting Melina in the hospital,"
Shawn nodded, he had faith that The Amazing Cameron, GPS, the ARK and Hurricane Aurora were close to uncovering the root of this affliction, unfortunately for Randy it was too late.
"Ric, Hunter, Dave I'm so glad you're out here," Randy said as Evolution emerged from Rey Mysterio's house and came over to him, "I think I know a way to keep Simone off my back,
"You can do whatever you want it's not my business anymore, or should I say it's not our business," Hunter said making eye contact with Shawn who looked at Edge knowing what had just happened, "Did you RKO Ric Flair at the DX Rules Party? The party Shawn and I were forced to cancel because you RKO-d Trish and Johnny?" Hunter asked firmly.
Randy went white and looked at Batista who couldn't hate him more, then he looked at Ric who obviously didn't spill the beans and looking at Hunter there was no point in denying it now.
"Yes I did but I didn't--- "
"I think you better go," Ric said as Hunter removed his jacket obviously about to attack Randy.
"Shawn please talk some sense into him I told you I didn't mean it!" Randy pleaded to Shawn and Hunter blanched.
"You knew and you didn't tell me?!" Hunter said furiously.
"I didn't tell you because I knew you'd react like this!" Shawn said defensively.
"We're business partners we're supposed to tell each other everything I shouldn't have had to hear it from Dave!" Hunter snapped and Shawn turned away not wanting his Righteous Indignation to strike Dave Batista down dead.
"I wanted to protect Randy he's innocent!" Shawn said not facing Hunter.
"I've spent the last five years protecting Randy and now I'm done, if the ARK Angels don't prove that these RKOs are because of the demonic spirit of Cain by Monday Night RAW, in the words of my ex-father-in-law and boss, Randy Orton's FIRED!" Hunter said and slapped Randy Orton around the face; he wanted to slap Shawn but feared what his Anointed other half would do to him if she found out.
"I'm sorry kid," Ric Flair said as Hunter stormed back into Rey's house.
"I'm not, looks like you've RKO'd yourself out of a job," Batista said and Edge went to Spear him into Rey Mysterio's fence but Rey and Undertaker pulled him back.
"Let it go Edge, he won't be seeing that World Heavyweight title again for a long, long time," Shawn said and embraced Randy who was crying helplessly from being rejected by Evolution once again.
"The ARK Angels will come through Randy," Shawn said confidently and noticed a fair-haired little boy looking out at them from Rey's living room window and Shawn smiled back at his Firstborn son, "They will come through,"
