I'm BAAAAACK! Happy New Year everybody! Hope you all had a very good Christmas (I didn't but I won't hold that against anyone who did) Nice to see the reviews still comin' in (Thank you to everyone who did), for a minute there I thought you all hated me. Anywho here we are for chapter nine of this story where things are slowly starting to kick off for young Jason Cena. Last time he was beaten to a pulp, (again) JBL and CLB pretended to kidnap his girlfriend, Tyson Tomko showed up and layed out John and HBK Shawn Michaels then showed his face and saved him from Chris Masters. This chapter it's Jason versus Masters, sounds like fun.

Here We Go!

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Nine

Shawn Michaels came out of the GM's office with a grin on his face, he had got what he wanted, a one-on-one match with 'The Masterpiece' Chris Masters at The Great American Bash. His grin faded a little as he remembered the beat down Masters had given him on RAW a few weeks back. "Oh well" he thought. "You know what they say about payback" Now all he had to do tonight was sit back and watch the Cena kid go out and beat the living hell out of 'The Masterpiece'. Shawn's grin raised again, he kinda liked that kid, he saw a lot potential in him, hell, he saw a lot of himself in the kid, and not just because he copied his moves. He had the heart, the passion and… "Talk of the devil"

"Hey Shawn! Shawn Michaels!" The kid ran up to him. "I never got the chance to thank you for helping me out last week".

"Don't worry 'bout it kid, it was no big…"

"It was, trust me man, it was. You saved me from two major ass kicking's out there".

"Like I said kid, don't mention it. Eighty percent of it was just to get a piece of Masters anyhow".

"That's understandable, but what was the other twenty? If you don't mind me asking".

"I don't. Let me put it this way to ya kid, no-one deserves an ass-kicking like that, especially someone who has as much potential as you". again?"

"Well kid, it's like this (A.N. hehehe, Colombo) Before I was drafted I watched Smackdown every week, and I gotta say, the one thing that stood out above all else was your in ring performances over the last few weeks".

"Really?"

"Really, I honestly see a lot of myself in ya, in fact, when I first got into wrestlin' my personality was the same as yours. The cockiness you don't need, I learned that the hard way, but, right now you have as much heart and passion in your late teens as I do now in my early forties".

Jason laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"Well it ain't much bragging about how much heart you have when you're practically an old man is it?"

"Hey, old I may be, but there is no-one on this show, in this company or in any other company who can hold a candle to me!"

"What about me?"

"You? Kid I know I said you had as much passion as me, and you may be the best athlete on this roster, besides me of course, but I doubt that you can keep up with ol' HBK".

"Prove it".

"You want me to prove it to ya? Well I'll make ya a deal, you beat JBL at 'The Bash', then we'll talk about me versus you alright?"

"You're on!"

"Good, but I warn ya, if I had a nickel for every kid I had to beat then…."

"Yeah I know I saw that interview with Randy Orton"

"Damn! I need to think up some new lines, anyway kid, good luck against Masters" he shook Jason's hand. "I'll be watching so try and make it entertaining for me and don't choke".

"I won't, don't blink or you'll miss it".

"That's the spirit kid, now go give him hell!"

As soon as Jason was out of sight he slumped down in a chair, Shawn Michaels, his childhood hero rated him? A future hall of famer just said he was impressed by him and wanted to compete against him at some point?

"Man, amazing what calling someone old can get you".

When he eventually returned to the locker room Jason still had a huge grin on his face, he flopped down on the sofa next to Mara.

"You seem happy about something".

"Oh… just life in general".

John walked into the room. "There you are bro, I've been looking all over for you".

"I had stuff to take care of".

"You ready for your match tonight?"

"As I'll ever be".

"Good, by the way, Josh wants to know if you'll do an interview with him".

"Yeah, why no…" Jason was interrupted by Mara pointing at the screen.

"The cabinet are screen guys".

Sure enough JBL, Orlando, the Bashams and Webber were on screen, Chris Masters was also with them.

"Well Chris here's your big chance" JBL was saying. "All you've got to do is beat that little street thug Jason Cena tonight, and you will become the newest member of my cabinet. However as congratulations in advance, I'm gonna let you take Amy out there with you to keep an eye on the slut".

"Well JBL" responded Masters. "Let me just say in advance that it is an honour to be a member of such an esteemed faction and…"

The trio were interrupted by a knock on the door, Josh Mathews popped his head in.

"Sorry to interrupt but I'm here to do the interview".

A few minutes later Jason and Mara were stood with Josh in front of the camera, John had decided to stay out of the interview and was seated on the sofa behind the cameraman.

"Jason Cena in a few minutes you will be competing against 'The Masterpiece' Chris Masters one-on-one, your thoughts please".

Jason took the mic. "You know somethin' Josh? It's always been my dream to work in WWE, but recently, that dream has turned into a nightmare. In a space of a few weeks I have been jumped, battered, bruised and basically beaten to a pulp no less than three times. I never knew so many people hated me just for being a Cena, but that's life, you get beat up, you come back for more, you get beat up again. Now, some may ask why I would go through something like that, well the answer is simple, I am a Cena, and we Cena's pride ourselves on the fact that we never back down and we certainly never quit" he caught John's eye and noticed the older Cena laughing. "Now as far as tonight goes Chris Masters, you and me, we're a lot alike, we both feel that we deserve opportunities, but the difference is I don't mind waiting for them to come to me, you however felt the need to jump me from behind, twice, put me in the Masterlock, and try to keep me down to get your opportunities. It didn't work, now tonight you and me are gonna go at it tonight to see who the more deserving man is and I'm gonna use you as an example for what I'm gonna do to JBL at 'The Bash'. JBL, don't think I forgot about you, our time will come, and here's something for you to think about, since I came here you have tried to make my dream a nightmare, but the key thing is it's my nightmare, and I'll decide when I wake up!"

Josh took back the mic. "Thank you Jason, now Mara, you will be in your boyfriends corner tonight, as always. However we now know that Amy Webber will be in Masters corner, do you feel that will be a factor in the match?"

"Josh you've seen me out there, you know that I don't usually get involved unless it is necessary. But Webber should you get involved, I'm gonna give you the beating of your life!"

Josh spoke again. "Well some pretty powerful statements from both Jason and Mara, I personally can't wait to see it, Jason versus Masters and it is next".

Jason and Mara were making their way to the main arena when they heard someone call out to them. "Hey, Psycho Cena!"

Jason spun round. "London! What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were out till after 'The Bash'".

"I was… or am, but I couldn't miss the biggest match of my buddy's career before I get traded".

"Traded?"

"Yeah, me, Heidenreich and Chavo for Big Vis, Simon Dean and Regal".

"Damn, sorry man".

"Ah, don't worry 'bout it man I'm not, anywho, if you win tonight me, Scotty, Funaki, Spanky and that new guy Birchall are gonna have a little party, wanna come?"

"Well, I'm gonna have to win for it to go down aren't I?"

"Nah, even if you lose we're still gonna have a party just for the hell of it".

"Alright, what about John?"

"I'll run it by him".

"Cool, right, I gotta go".

"Good luck man".

"Thanks London".

When Jason got to the sound area Masters had only just left, he and Webber were standing at the top of the aisleway as he did his usual posedown. Jason felt a sudden surge of rage and an idea came into his head, he looked at Mara, who saw the anger in his eyes and realised what he was about to do, she shook her head an mouthed "NO!" But Jason was already halfway through the curtain. He went flying through Masters pyro and nailed him in the back of the head, all the frustration of the past few weeks came out as he opened up on Masters while he was down. He picked 'The Masterpiece' up and threw him into the crowd barrier and continued to punch away at him all the while screaming "How do you like being jumped?"

He continued to beat on Masters all the way down to ringside, but when he went to whip Masters into the steel steps it was reversed and Jason collided with them full force instead. From that point on it was all Masters as he began to slowly pick Jason apart but was unable to put the teen away, after what seemed like an eternity Jason finally tried to make a comeback. He hit the forearm nip-up combo and opened up on Masters with punches and kicks. In quick succession he hit a flying crossbody, an impaler, and a superkick, but all that these earned were two-counts. Masters retreated to the corner and Jason attempted a Stinger Splash, Masters avoided the contact and Jason slammed hard into the turnbuckle, he staggered backwards, straight into the Masterlock. He immediately tried to break free but Masters had it locked in tight, Jason looked around desperately for a way to get out of the hold, he glanced up at the big screen and saw his ticket out. With a sudden burst of energy he shot backwards towards the corner, only it wasn't the turnbuckle that he and Masters hit, but the referee who ended up sandwiched between the two wrestlers and the turnbuckle. The referee was down but the hold was still on, Jason walked out to the centre of the ring and swung his leg up behind him, the blatant low-blow connected and the hold slackened, Jason felt this and tried to wrench himself free, Masters suddenly broke the hold and pushed Jason away. Jason landed hard on his knees but bounced right back up to his feet, he hit the opposite ropes and went charging towards Masters, who ran right through him with a clothesline. Noticing both Jason and the referee down Masters yelled for Webber to get him a chair, the cabinet image consultant complied, but as she went to throw it in the ring Mara came flying out of no-where and took her down with a spear, the chair bounced harmlessly off the apron and fell to the floor. Masters turned round confused, then he saw Mara hammering the hell out of Webber, he leaned through the ropes, grabbed her by the hair and aggressively tried to pull her into the ring, Mara struggled to free herself, then grabbed the chair and swung it backwards over her head, she smiled with satisfaction as she heard the sound of steel-on skull and felt the grip on her hair disappear. Masters spun back round dazed and walked right into an F-U from Jason, the younger Cena made the pin as the referee recovered to count the three. It registered and Jason defeated 'The Masterpiece', he rolled out of the ring straight away to celebrate with Mara, and pull her off Webber, the two were making their way up the aisle when Mara pointed out something on the big screen.

HBK was stood there in front of a monitor clapping, Jason's jaw dropped, was HBK actually applauding him?

"Hell of night it's been for us huh?" Said Mara.

"Yeah, c'mon let's go celebrate with Paul and the others.

At the celebration party later that night Jason seemed to be pretty quiet for a guy who had just beat a top-notch superstar, sure he laughed and goofed around with everyone, but he also spent a lot a lot of time in the corner thinking to himself. He also spent a lot of time talking to new boy Paul Birchall, who came from England.

"So what's the Indy scene like over there?" He asked.

"Brilliant mate, you can wrestle for whoever you want, as many times as you want. I know a guy who right now holds nine titles from nine different feds".

"Wow, I should've went to England".

"Trust me mate, as good as the competition is, the pay is absolute crap, even the champions bonus only give you a few extra quid".

After that conversation Jason stayed in the corner saying nothing to anybody. Before anyone could ask him what was up, Teddy Long walked in. First he wished Paul London luck on his move to RAW, then told him he was stripping him of the cruiserweight title because he couldn't risk RAW getting it's hands on it. Paul handed him the title back then and there and Teddy announced to Scotty, Spanky and Funaki that they would be part of a battle royal for the now vacant title. He then beckoned Jason and Mara to go with him; they followed him out into the corridor where he turned to speak to them.

"I got some news for you two, the cabinet has laid out a challenge to…"

"Tell them I accept" said Jason straight away, but…

"Not you Jason, Mara, Amy Webber has challenged you to a match next week".

"I'll be fine with that under one condition, you make a stipulation that Jason HAS to be in my corner and JBL has to be in her corner".

"That is a GREAT idea playa! It's set then, next week Mara Daniels makes her in-ring debut against Amy Webber with JBL and Jason Cena at ringside! Now I see y'all have a party to get to so I'm outta here, holla!"

He walked away, Jason turned to Mara.

"You sure you know what you're doing letting JBL be at ringside?"

"Of course, and remember, I can actually wrestle, that fashion school reject can't. Besides now you get JBL standing within spitting distance of you".

"Yeah, but what something happens and I can't help you if he gets involved?"

"Jason I trust you to be able to protect me no matter what, you've done a good job so far".

"I know, it's just… I don't want you getting hurt because of me".

"I know you don't, I'd feel the same way if I were you, but I'm a big girl, I can handle myself. All the same I appreciate the gesture".

They began kissing just as Paul London walked out of the room.

"AHHHH, I didn't see nothing man!"

Once again another chapter is done and dusted. I can just hear you typing your hate mail now. I'll try not to spend too long updating this time. Coming up, Mara makes her in-ring debut on Smackdown, how many of her brother's moves will she be able to do? Read and find out.

Oh, one more thing STING IS COMING TO TNA! I CAN'T FREAKIN' WAIT!
