Here We Go!

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Forty Seven-The Bald-Headed SOB

The wrestling world had been abuzz since Jason's announcement on Smackdown the week before, the same question was on everybody's mind, would Stone Cold Steve Austin make his in ring return on Smackdown? Jason and John had kept quiet throughout the week, the teen had other things on his mind as well, the Royal Rumble match with Shawn and the fact that Smackdown was being held in Shawn's hometown of San Antonio Texas, no-one had seen or heard from Shawn all week and rumour was that he wasn't going to appear on Smackdown.

"I don't like it John" said Jason. "He's up to something".

"What makes you think that?"

"Why would Shawn Michaels no-show an event in his hometown?"

"Maybe you injured him last week".

"No, no it couldn't be that, he's had far worse done to him than an F-U through a table".

"I don't see why you're being so paranoid bro'".

"I'm not being paranoid! Look John, not only is Shawn Michaels one of the greatest wrestlers alive he's also one of the smartest, since last week he's probably come up with at least fifty different ways to get back at me".

"Look, just try to calm…" John was interrupted by his phone going off. "Hello… he is? Right…. We'll be right there".

"What's up?"

"That was one of the security guards in the parking lot, our bald-headed SOB just turned up".

Jason and John came into the parking lot, sure enough the limo they had to the airport to meet the guy was there, Jason went to talk to the driver.

"Did ya get him?"

"Kinda, he didn't ride in the limo he followed behind in a pickup truck".

"Typical, I take the time to send him a limo and he turns down my hospitality, he deserves what he's going to get tonight, where is he anyway?"

"Security led him to his locker room, just like you asked".

"He take his cooler of beers with him?"

"Yup".

Jason pulled out a bit of paper and wrote down an address on it before handing it to the driver.

"Here, go to this address and ask for Shawn Michaels alright? Don't take no for an answer just bring him here, I'll make sure you get good pay for it".

"Yes sir".

The limo pulled out, John came up behind his brother.

"You sure you wanna do that?"

"John, I want him here tonight, cause I want him to see exactly what I've got in store for him at the rumble".

Later on that night Josh Mathews was stationed outside the door where Jason's opponent was being kept, he went to knock on it but Jason came round the corner with Mara and stopped him.

"Josh, what are you doing?"

"I was gonna get an interview with…"

"Josh, you should know as well as I do that you don't go knocking on this guy's door! He could kick my ass in a heartbeat so God knows what he'd do to you! Especially the mood he's in considering since I dragged him out here to this dump called San Antonio!"

The crowd booed so loud that Jason could hear them backstage.

"Please, all San Antonio's given to the world is Shawn Michaels and we all know how that's gonna turn out at the Royal Rumble!"

The crowd booed again but Jason just shrugged it off.

"Anyway Josh, you can't go knocking on this guy's door when he's preparing for a match, but nice guy that I am, I'll take your questions".

"Alright, firstly, is Stone Cold really behind the door?"

Josh, I said I was gonna bring a bald-headed SOB to San Antonio, and how many tough, beat em down, stomp a mudhole guys do we know?"

"O.K. How do you think you'll fair against him?"

"I don't know Josh, I'm kinda nervous, but I think you'll find the results Stunning".

"Right, one last question, how do you respond to rumours that you are being manipulated by your brother".

The smile faded from Jason's face.

"Who told you to ask me that? Did Mizanin call you from the hospital or something? I hear that they're feeding him and Spanky through tubes right now, and if you don't wanna join them I suggest you never ask me that again!"

Josh gulped. "Yeah, sure, no problem". The cocky grin came back to Jason's face.

"I'll let it slide Josh, anyway, Shawn Michaels, I know you're…"

The teen trailed off as John walked on, he covered the mic with his hand.

"Kid, the limo just got back".

"Was he in it?"

"No, the driver says there was no-one at the house".

"What? So where is… oh crap! That means he's here!"

The teen ran off camera, John followed; Mara and Josh exchanged a look before she went after them.

Later the crowd was waiting for Jason vs. Austin to start, suddenly Shawn's music hit! The crowd started to cheer but stopped as Jason danced his way out copying Shawn's entrance, the San Antonio crowd booed and started a 'JAY-SON SUCKS!' chant as the teen grabbed a mic.

"What? I just figured that since Shawn Michaels wasn't gonna grace you with his presence then I should do it for him, anyway, ladies and gentlemen my opponent, the bald-headed SOB, the myth, the legend, I give you… Gillberg!"

The Goldberg impersonator came out to the ring to even louder boo's than Jason got, he entered the ring and started posing while Jason acted scared and jumped out of the ring.

"I'm starting to think this was a bad idea" he said to Mara jokingly, she gave him a look of disgust before heading up the ramp.

"Mara? C'mon, it's just a joke!" She kept walking, Jason turned to Gillberg.

"Alright man, just let me get in the ring, it's cool" he got in the ring still acting scared as the crowd broke into a 'We want Austin!" chant.

"Well you can pay for him to come down here then!" Yelled the teen before turning to Gillberg. "Look Gillberg, these people may be disappointed to see you, but I'm not, now you may not be in Austin's league, you may not be in Goldberg's league… actually scratch that, unlike Goldberg you can actually wrestle, there's a reason Goldberg was only hot in WCW, but anyway you're here, I'm here, let's do this!"

The bell rang and the two went to lock up but Gillberg cut another pose and Jason dived out of the ring acting scared again, he slowly got back in the ring, they went to lock up again but the teen suddenly slapped Gillberg across the face and began to beat him down, he whipped him and caught him with a powerslam, then he picked Gillberg up and hit a neckbreaker followed by a shining wizard, he slammed Gillberg and hit the ropes and landed the Five-Knuckle-shuffle, pausing to make the DX sign and pose like Shawn as he did, he called for the F-U but stopped and pulled Gillberg to the corner, he climbed the ropes and came down with a elbow before tuning up the band, he went for Sweet Chin Music but Gillberg ducked and hit the spear! He covered but Jason kicked out! Gillberg went to a corner and set up for the spear again but Jason exploded with a superkick out of nowhere! The cocky grin was gone and the teen picked him up and dropped him with the F-U, he covered for the three.

After the match Jason picked Gillberg up and dropped him with another F-U before kicking him out of the ring, he then began to mock Shawn's poses again not noticing the change in the crowd's reaction, when he did it was too late and he spun round to receive Sweet Chin Music from Shawn! HBK stood over the teen with a look of pure rage on his face.

"You wanna be funny? You wanna crap on everything I've done? Let's see you laugh when it's you who gets taken out!"

He rolled out of the ring and grabbed a chair, he came back in and prepared to nail Jason with it but John ran down and pulled his brother out of the ring, when the teen was aware of his surroundings he tried to get back in the ring but John held him back.

"You're a dead man Shawn!" He kept screaming, Shawn merely made a bring it gesture and watched as John pulled his brother away before leaving through the crowd.

Shawn had just entered the parking lot and headed for his car when he heard someone call out to him, he turned to see Mara coming over, he sighed and turned to walk away but she stopped him.

"I know you don't wanna listen to me right now, but I need to tell you something".

"Would it be 'Jason's only doing this to stop John from turning on him'?"

"How did you…"

"I've known that since the start, but I'll be damned if someone hits me with a chair and tries to take out my friends manipulated or not!"

"But…"

"Look, at the Rumble I'm gonna kick your boyfriends ass and I'm not going back on that, but out of respect for you I'll say this, if there's any way to make the kid see the light and realise that he's better off without his brother, then I'll help ya… after the Rumble".

Shawn jumped in his car and headed home, Mara stayed in the parking lot watching him drive off, John suddenly came out of the shadows.

"So, you know do you?"

"Yeah, I know".

"Well, what are you gonna do? Make the same mistake Shawn did and tell him? He won't believe you".

"Actually, I think he will, he believed Shawn, he just seems to think he's better off with you, though I don't see why the crap you put him through".

She turned to walk away but John grabbed her and spun her back round twisting her arm painfully, she tried to break free but he just twisted it more, he pulled her close so he could whisper in her ear.

"The only reason I keep you around is cause Jason's crazy about you, but if you screw with me I'll send you back to that quitter you call a brother with a broken arm, you got that?"

"Y… y… yes".

"Good!" He broke the grip and pushed her away, smirking at the tears of pain he saw in her eyes, he got in the rental car. "You and the kid can walk back to the hotel, tell him I'm sorting something out, and if you say anything about just now, you won't see your next birthday!"

He gunned the car out of the parking lot just as Jason came in, Mara turned her back to him to wipe the tears out of her eyes.

"Mara? You alright?"

"I'm fine".

"Look, I'm sorry about earlier, if I knew it would upset you then I wouldn't have done it".

"Jason…" Mara suddenly spun round and hugged him, the teen stood in confusion for a moment before hugging her back.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just…" she looked up at his face, she thought about telling him about John but stopped, she couldn't be sure he'd believe her and if he turned on her then… "It's nothing"

Shawn had arrived home to find it empty, Rebecca and Cameron must still be at her mothers, he had just sat down to watch TV when someone knocked on the door, Rebecca had keys so it wasn't her, he opened the door and felt something heavy strike him round the head! He reeled back but a hand closed around his throat and dragged him out the door, he received so more blows to the head before being thrown down the steps! He tried to get up but the attacker stomped him to the ground, when it finally stopped the attacker rolled Shawn onto his back so he could see his face… it was John!

"A message from the kid HBK, see ya at the Rumble".

He gave Shawn one last kick for good measure and walked to his car leaving Shawn in a heap.
