Here We Go!
Brotherly Hate-Chapter Thirty Four-Dat's Cool!
Jason was still on a high as the Cena's headed to Mobile Alabama for Smackdown, the teen had been on cloud nine since Sunday in Boston and nothing seemed to bring him down. John was more subdued, he was focusing on the title defence against MNM, the champions-turned-challengers were gonna be even more up for it than they were on Sunday so it was going to be rough, Teddy Long greeted them as they arrived at the arena.
"Well, well, well, our new champions, I got some news concerning your defence playas, and it ain't good".
John groaned. "What now? Cannon gone and made it no DQ?"
"You guessed it John, not only that but he's made it the opening match as well".
"I'm really getting tired of that jacked up suit from the network" said Jason. "One of these days I'm gonna stick his foot so far up his ass he'll be sneezing out his shoes!"
"Trust me playa, I'd sympathise with ya if ya did, but then I'd have to explain to Mr. McMahon about why one of my superstars attacked the network executive".
John had been thinking. "Wait, it's no DQ then it's gonna be like a Texas Tornado match right?"
"More or less" replied Jason.
"That's good then, we can each pick a guy and beat them senseless".
"Good strategy" said Teddy. "Ya better hurry up and get ready, the show starts in ten minutes".
MNM made their way down to ringside, they more than ready to get their gold back, Melina grabbed a mic.
"Yeah that's right, take some pictures, because believe me, those pictures of my boys without their titles will last a lot longer than the Cena's title reign, tonight is our rematch, tonight is the night we take back what's ours, Cena's, you may have had the upper hand in Boston, but this is neutral ground, instead of competing in front of your home crowd, we're competing in front of a bunch or rednecks! And it's no DQ so there is no way you are keeping those titles, so come out here and we'll just take them off your hands".
John's music hit and the brothers came out with Mara, each carrying a trashcan full of weapons! MNM looked a little thrown off as The Cena's came to ringside and threw the cans into the ring, they took off the title belts, high-fived, and dived into the ring to kick off the match. Jason squared off with Nitro and John brawled with Mercury, John quickly gained the advantage and clotheslined Mercury out of the ring then went to help Jason, they whipped Nitro and caught him with a double elbow and a double elbow drop. Jason then brought the first weapons into the match, he tossed John a kendo stick and grabbed on of the trashcan lids, Nitro got up to receive a stick to the ribs and a lid to the head, Mercury came in with a chair but got the same treatment, Jason then grabbed a hockey stick and broke it over Nitro's back, Mercury got up but John gave him a spinout powerbomb with Jason adding a neckbreaker.
Nitro got up but quickly received a double clothesline to the outside, the brothers then picked up Mercury and threw him out to join his partner, Jason climbed the turnbuckle and dived to the outside onto both members of MNM, he picked Mercury up and rolled him back into the ring for John, while he was doing this Nitro reached under the ring and grabbed another chair, before he could use it Jason grabbed him and whipped him towards the steel guard rail, Nitro reversed it but Jason jumped onto it and came off it looking for a clothesline but Nitro threw the chair at him! Jason was in the air and couldn't avoid it and took it flush in the face, he dropped to the ground and instantly raised a hand to where his stitches were and was relieved to feel they were still there, he tried to get up but Nitro ran forward and gave him a neckbreaker on the floor.
In the ring John continued to beat on Mercury, he gave him a couple of clothesline followed by a suplex for a two-count, Nitro came in with the chair but John ducked and dropkicked it back into his face, Mercury charged John but received an elbow, John hit the ropes but Melina grabbed his foot, as the two were arguing Nitro slipped his partner a fire extinguisher, John turned and was sprayed in the face! Nitro added a kendo stick shot to put John down, Mercury covered but John kicked out. MNM picked John up and backed him against the ropes, they gave him a few right hands each then tied him up in the ropes, Nitro taunted him then gave him a few shots to the ribs with the kendo stick followed by a shot to the head. Jason came back in and Nitro swung for his head but Jason ducked and clotheslined Mercury, Nitro swung again but again Jason ducked and dropped him with a reverse DDT for a two-count.
Jason was now fighting off both Mercury and Nitro by himself, he gave Mercury a few right hands followed by a dropkick to knock him down, he went over to the ropes and tried to free John but Nitro attacked him from behind, he whipped Jason and went for an elbow but Jason ducked and gave him a neckbreaker, Mercury came back but Jason gave him a flapjack followed by a shining wizard for another two-count. Nitro had one of the trashcans and went to nail Jason but the teen cut him off with a superkick, he laid Nitro over the trashcan and climbed to the top-rope, before he could come down Melina grabbed his leg and tried to hold him there, he kicked her down but before he could jump Nitro moved out of the way, he went to climb down but Mercury nailed him causing him to fall on the ropes, Mercury then climbed up and gave Jason a superplex onto the trashcan! Melina screamed that it was over as Mercury covered, but John, still tied up in the ropes was able to reach over and kick Mercury in the head to break up the count.
Mercury and Nitro went over to John and began to give him some right hands, they then backed away and Nitro whipped his partner into John, the impact sent him over the top-rope but it freed him from them as well. MNM then draped Jason over the apron allowing Melina to lock in a headscissor as they grabbed a pair of chairs, as Jason was struggling to get up they called for the con-chair-to! They both swung for his head but he dropped back to the mat causing them to nail each other, as they were recovering Jason hit the ropes but ran right into a double backdrop over the top-rope. They went to go after him but John came back to make the save, he gave both men clotheslines to knock them down and threw Nitro outside, he then gave Mercury a spinout powerbomb for a two-count, he picked him back up an hit a slam, followed by the five-knuckle-shuffle, he called for the F-U and lifted Mercury up but Nitro broke it up with a superkick, he covered but John kicked out.
MNM looked at the fallen Cena's then seemed to get an idea, they rolled outside and looked under the ring for a moment before pulling out a table, they set it up next to the ring and climbed up to the apron. They grabbed John and went for a double suplex through the table but he fought out and knocked Nitro down before suplexing Mercury back in, the two got back up and John hit him in the head with a trashcan lid for a two-count. He went to hit the ropes but Nitro nailed him in the back with the fire extinguisher, he then walked into a leg-lariat from Mercury for a two-count, Nitro got back in the ring and called for a snapshot, Mercury lifted him up and the two dropped him, Nitro covered but Jason broke it up just in time! Mercury jumped Jason and beat him down until Nitro got up, the two whipped Jason and hit a double elbow, they went for another snapshot but Jason fought out of it, he grabbed Mercury and gave him a tornado DDT, nailing Nitro with an enziguri as he did!
All four superstars were down and, as at No Mercy, Melina tried to get involved, she got in the ring and grabbed a chair but Mara cut her off, she went to give Melina an F-U but she escaped and raked Mara's eyes, she grabbed the chair and swung for Mara but the teen ducked, the chair hit the ropes and bounced back in Melina's face! She spun round right into an Angels Wings, Mara stood over Melina with a grin on her face but Nitro came up behind her and grabbed her by the hair. He spun her round to face him and kicked her in the stomach and set her up for a powerbomb, he stopped as he lifted her and looked towards the table, he smiled and changed direction, he lifted her up and walked towards the ropes but Jason ran forward and pulled her down, Nitro spun round and Jason nailed him with a right hand, Nitro rolled out to the apron as Jason checked on Mara before grabbing a chair, John was up and had a chair as well, the Cena's then ran forward and clocked Nitro with a con-chair-to! Nitro stayed upright for a moment then fell off the apron through the table! Both Cena's stared at him as he lay there, Jason had a mixture of concern and satisfaction on his face, he then leaned through the ropes and yelled.
"I told you I was gonna make you pay!"
Mercury was now up and he ran through the brothers with a double clothesline, he wasn't going down without a fight, he picked John up and hit a neckbreaker for a two-count, he then grabbed one of the chairs and waited for John to get up, he swung for John's head but the older Cena ducked, Mercury spun round and swung again but Jason cut him off and superkicked it back in his face, he picked Mercury up while John set up the other trashcan, the two-brothers stood back-to-back and drove Mercury through the can with a double F-U! John covered, and got the three!
Jason grabbed the two title belts and tossed John's one to him before leaving the ring, John and Mara followed and the trio left as EMT's came from the back to treat Nitro, at the top of the aisle Jason couldn't help but look back, his face a picture of guilt.
When the brothers got backstage Jason got changed in silence, as he finished packing his ring gear into his bag he heard a commotion outside the door, he opened it to see EMT's, along with Mercury and Melina, wheeling Nitro by on a stretcher, he followed at a safe distance so he couldn't be seen and watched them load Nitro into an ambulance before taking off for a nearby hospital, the guilt he was feeling was getting worse as he walked back to the locker room.
"Where'd ya go bro'?" Asked John as he came back in.
"Nowhere" was the muttered reply.
"You alright? Ya seem a little depressed".
"I'm just starting to feel bad about what we did to Nitro".
"What? Kid he would of done the same to you".
"I know, I'm starting to feel like I'm just as bad as he is".
"Answer me this, do you feel guilty about what we did?"
"Very".
"Then you're not as bad as him, he was going to drive Mara through that table if you hadn't have done that, and he damn sure wouldn't have felt guilty about it!"
"Maybe you're right, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it".
"That's your choice, but for now we gotta go".
"Go? Where?"
"The tag battle-royal is next, we have front row seats with Cole and Tazz".
Out in the ring all of the teams were in the ring except for the wildcard team, John and Jason were seated at ringside to get a close up view of their opponents, the wildcard team was about to be revealed…
"I spit in the face, of people who don't want to be cool!"
Carlito and 'The Masterpiece' Chris Masters made their way out to the ring, John turned to Jason.
"Guess we shouldn't be surprised, they did a hell of a number on Kennedy at the weekend".
"True".
As soon as Carlito and Masters entered the ring the match began with everyone attacking each other, after about ten seconds Christian threw Scotty 2 Hotty over the top-rope, eliminating him and Funaki, Kid Kash and Jamie Noble were next as the Impact Players eliminated them simultaneously, then Nunzio was thrown out by 'The Miz' to eliminate him and Vito. Everyone then battled it out in the centre of the ring allowing Super Crazy to come off the top-rope with a moonsault to everybody before throwing out Doug Basham to eliminate him and Danny, however Crazy's partner Psychosis was thrown out moments later by Birchill.
Half the teams had been eliminated and Tomko started to go on a tear, he knocked down Spanky, Masters and Carlito with boots then gave Birchill one to send him over the top while Christian threw out Regal, the CLB turned his attention to Jason and made the belt motion allowing the Impact Players to give him a double superkick to send him over the top! Christian threw a fit and argued with the referee's before starting to leave with Tomko, suddenly the two spun round and charged back to the ring to brawl with the Impact Players again but again they came off second best as Storm threw Christian out while Credible superkicked Tomko, the two then argued with Christian allowing Spanky and Miz to come up behind and eliminate them! It was down to the last to teams, Carlito and Masters and Spanky and Miz!
As the teams battled it out the Impact Players were brawling with Christian and Tomko on the aisleway, this had both the referee's distracted, meanwhile Carlito tried to throw Miz out but Spanky came up behind him and hit sliced bread number two! Masters then clotheslined both men and put Miz in the Masterlock! He dragged Miz to the ropes and lifted him so he could drop him over the top but Spanky broke it up with a dropkick, the two then clotheslined Masters over the top! Spanky and Miz celebrated but the referee's were still distracted by the fight on the ramp, this allowed Carlito and Masters to come back in and throw Miz and Spanky out! The referee's turned round just in time to see this and called for the bell! Masters and Carlito stole the victory!
As the two celebrated Spanky and Miz argued with the referee's Jason came over to back them up but they wouldn't change their call, Carlito and Masters noticed Jason standing there and made belt motions, Jason responded by holding up the title and saying. "Come and get it!"
Backstage the brothers were loading their bags into the car.
"Tough break for Miz and Spanky huh?" Said John.
"Yeah, but we'll get the meathead and the apple spitting toilet brush back for them".
"Yeah" laughed John.
Jason helped his brother close the trunk, he went to get in but someone clocked him in the back of the head, he heard John say "What the…?" Then someone jumped him as well, Jason went to get up but was grabbed and had his head slammed against the car before being pulled into what was unmistakably a Masterlock, he struggled to get free but Masters had it on tight, he looked up to see Carlito give john a few right hands before picking up a tire iron and hit him once in the ribs and once in the head, he then dropped it and turned to Jason.
"Tough break for Miz and Spanky? It's gonna be a tough break for you as well next week when 'The Masterpiece' and me take your titles! And dat…" he pulled an apple out of his pocket. "…Dat's cool!" He then took a bite out of the apple and spat it in Jason's face, Masters threw Jason to the ground and Carlito added a boot for good measure, the two walked off laughing leaving the Cena's laid out.
End of ChapterWell there ya go, MNM have fallen but there are new challengers, will the Cena's retain? Or will Masters and Carlito make it a short reign for the Cena's? Find out next time.
