Wassup? Welcome back once again. Last time we saw Jason become MVP of the Royal Rumble first by defeating Shawn then by lasting from number one to the final four in the Rumble itself eliminating John along the way, what's going to happen this week? Will Jason vs. Shawn continue? What condition is John in after being kicked off a stage? Let's find out!

Here We Go!

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Fifty One-United We Stand

Jason fought back a shiver as he stepped out into the cold January air, he glanced at his watch, sixA.M. he carried the weights round to the back yard and dumped them to the ground, he fought back another shiver, maybe he should have put a shirt on today? It was colder than usual, he shrugged it off, a bit of jogging would warm him up, that was one of the advantages of having such a large back yard, he started jogging up and down the yard, his mind wasn't on the cold, he was focusing on tonight, Smackdown had come to his hometown, that gave him the advantage of being able to work out at home. His thoughts returned to Smackdown, Shawn Michaels, his friend turned foe, had challenged him yet again, but this time the challenge had been made to both him and John, he didn't see what Shawn was hoping to achieve, his own ribs were still bruised and heavily bandaged from the Rumble some five days before, there was no way that Shawn could have recovered before him, he didn't understand why Shawn would make such a challenge.

"Probably hopes that John's injured as well" he thought and turned his mind back to the Rumble again to the moment John went flying off the stage, he had disappeared from Jason's view then the sparks flew up, miraculously John wasn't even hurt, a few inches to either side however, and things would have been different, he stopped running and stretched before grabbing the weights, his bruised ribs meant he had been working light all week, he didn't know why he took working out so seriously now, he barely worked with weights at all when he first broke in to the business but when he and John won the tag titles he realised that he needed to step up a notch, first it had been weekly, then twice a week, before he knew it he was working out every morning.

A light flashed on in the kitchen behind him, it was probably Mara, all those days of waking up early to go on tour with her brother had resulted in her always waking up before seven, her technique was to get up, go for a run, come back and try and get some sleep, he didn't know if it worked or not but hey, you gotta do something with your time. He usually worked out and went back to bed as well except he slept like a baby until someone came and got him up, he paused for a moment, his ribs weren't hurting as much today, maybe he should add a bit to the weights.

Mara had just headed out the front door to start her run we she heard something in the back yard, a kind of metallic sound, she crept round the side of the house and peeked round the corner and relaxed her guard when she saw it was only Jason, she turned to start her run then stopped, Jason? She looked back round the corner. Sure enough there was Jason, topless, in the middle of January, on the coldest day of the month, hell most of December had been warmer, sitting on a bench pumping weights. "Well, that explains why he seemed to keep getting bigger" She thought, for the past few months she had noticed that Jason's physique had been changing, he hadn't been skinny or ropey, but he certainly didn't have much muscle. But lately he had seemed much more toned than usual, she had only really noticed when Viscera had ripped his shirt off the week before and she saw how much muscle he had put on, suddenly he glanced behind him and saw her.

"Good morning! You off for another run?"

"How did you…"

"You go for one every morning, I see you leaving while I'm working out".

"Oh, well I am, wanna come?"

"Sure".

He dumped the weights to the ground and walked over.

"You gonna put a shirt on? It's a bit cold".

"Nah, the run will keep me warm, lets go".

The two jogged off at an even pace, Mara keeping close to Jason, every know and then when she went for a run she got a few assholes who made advances on her, one guy had kept trying until she decided to bring him down a peg, she laughed out loud at the memory of the guy running away blood gushing from his nose.

"What's so funny?" Asked Jason.

"Nothing, how long you been working out like that anyway?"

"Since me and John won the titles".

"That long?"

"Yup, I've been meaning to ask how long you've been doing this".

"Since I moved in with you".

"Oh".

"Looking forward to tonight?"

"Not really".

"Not really? It's your hometown, you might actually get cheered for once".

"It's not that I'm worried about".

"Then what? Oh, Shawn".

"Yeah, why would he challenge me and John to a handicap match? He's up to something".

"Jason, you really should lose the paranoia, you're actually starting to remind me of Eric, and that's bad".

"No it's not".

"What?"

"Everything he's usually paranoid about ends up happening".

"True, still doesn't make paranoia good".

"Yeah, doesn't mean I'm stopping though".

Mara sighed. " You are so childish".

Jason turned to look at her. "Oh yeah? Well you're…" CRASH!

Mara looked confused as to why Jason had stopped talking and glanced up, when she noticed he wasn't running next to her she stopped and turned round to see him lying at the base of a street light, having run straight into it, she considered laughing but concern took over and she jogged back.

"Jason, Jason are you OK?"

The was a groan before… "Anyone get the number of that truck?"

She laughed and slapped his chest. "You are such a moron!"

"Yeah? Well you're a … Girl!"

"Oooo, that hurt! Idiot!"

"… Girl!"

"That the best you got?"

"… Yeah!"

She laughed and helped him up, he staggered around for a moment before patting the streetlight he had run into. "Sorry buddy".

Mara laughed again. "Shall we get home?"

"Sure, race ya!"

"Fine".

"Ready, set, GO!"

Jason started forward but Mara stuck out her foot and he dropped on his face again, she laughed and took off, he climbed to his feet shook his head and chased after her.

"Yeah you better run! I know where you're ticklish now!"

Later that day Smackdown in Boston was about to begin, Jason had decided to kick the show off by accepting Shawn's challenge, and also putting himself over, Rey Mysterio may have won the Rumble, but he felt that he was the star of the show He had earlier argued with Teddy after being told that despite his efforts he wasn't even being considered for a US title shot, let alone the WWE, the cruiserweight title was available Teddy had offered but Jason turned it down, he had better things to do than beat jobbers every week, it was obvious Teddy was still punishing him for his actions lately, well if Mr. Long wanted to play hardball then so could he. His music hit and he made his way out to the ring, with Mara, to a positive reaction from the crowd, he entered the ring and grabbed a mic.

"You know, I can't believe I'm saying this, but right now I feel like Christian whenever he goes back to Toronto, now I know I said I don't need the fans approval but if you wrestle in your hometown and still get booed then you know you have a problem. Anyway, I'm supposed to be out here accepting a challenge but first I have to get something off my chest, on Sunday me and Shawn Michaels kicked each others asses like never before, I almost killed us both when I put us through that table over there, I won that match, then I entered the Rumble at number one and went through Pedigrees, male cheerleaders, angry Samoans, chokeslams, former friends, monsters, and a very special young man, just for the record Eugene, I'm not your friend anymore. But I went through all that and got to the final four, then I show up here and say to Teddy Long 'Is there any chance of me getting a title shot?' And do you know what he said? He said to me 'Jason, playa, the cruiserweight title is available!'". A lot of boo's greeted this.

"See that's exactly how I felt, needless to say I turned it down because I have better things to do on Friday nights than kick Scotty Too Hotty's ass week in week out! But let me get this straight, after everything I've done, after everything I've been through all I get is the cruiserweight title? Let's review, I beat JBL's ass on my first ever PPV match, I had the two thousand five match of the year in my second PPV match, I beat Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels in consecutive weeks, got to the final of a tournament, took Undertaker to the limit, became the youngest wrestler to EVER hold a title, went through three men in one night, defended those belts every week against multiple competitors, beat Shawn Michaels again at the Rumble then went over an hour in the match itself, and all I get is the fucking cruiserweight title!" He had to lower the mic to avoid swearing anymore.

"I apologise for that, I meant no offence to any little kids watching or to anyone who feels the cruiserweight belt is worth something, anyway Shawn Michaels, I understand you challenged me and my brother to a match tonight, well seeing as I'm in a bad mood after what you did to my brother, who, by the grace of God is alright, then you better bring everything you've got tonight, cause me and John, we accept! But let me ask you something, if you can't even beat one of us, what makes you think you can beat both of us? Shawn Michaels…"

Shawn's music hit and HBK came out with a mic, he stopped at the top of the aisle.

"Did someone call my name?"

"Very funny Shawn, now…"

"Jason Cena, you seem a little upset over something, could it be you feel you're getting overlooked? Or that you're being held down? Or that your brother falling off the stage on Sunday was exactly what he deserved!"

"Shawn I am upset at being overlooked no doubt about that, but what really pisses me off is you, on Sunday I beat you, it was over, hell you eliminated me from the Rumble so if anything we were even, then you threw my brother off the stage! For a man of religion you really had little regard for whether or not you killed him! But I'm intrigued by something here, why, why on earth would you, in the condition that you're in, even worse than me, challenge both me and my brother to a handicap match? Why?"

"Well Jason, it's quite simple, I just got tired of facing both of you when I should have been facing one of you and decided that if both of you wanted some of me then I'd give it to you".

"Wait, what do you mean you were facing both of us? I beat you alone!"

"Jason, I could tell ya what happened but it's likely ya wouldn't believe me, so right now I got two words for ya… watch this".

Footage played of John nailing Shawn with the chain at the Rumble before Jason rolled him up, the teen's eyes narrowed, John had lied to his face yet again.

"So kid, hate to break it to ya, but ya didn't quite do it alone, all credit to ya though you did almost kill us both during that match but anyway I'll see you and your brother later, and I have a little surprise for you".

Shawn dropped the mic and headed backstage while Jason looked at the ground as he took in what he had just seen.

John had seen everything and didn't need to ask what was wrong when the teen barged into the locker room.

"Look Jason, I…"

"I can't believe you, you let me believe that I beat Shawn Michaels on my own, you lied to my face, now everyone is gonna think that I can't beat him by myself…"

"Shut up! This isn't about you right now, this is about Michaels, did you listen to what he said? He said he had a surprise for us, so something's up, so focus on THAT instead of living in the past, tonight, more than ever, we need to be united, so can I trust you to have my back?"

"John, you could trust me with your life!"

"I'm so you could as well, now are we together or not?"

Yeah" Jason shook his hand. "But we do need to talk about Sunday".

"And we'll do it after the match, for now, let's go!"

Jason's mind still wasn't at ease when he and John waited in the ring for Shawn, the teen was pacing the ring not wanting to be kept waiting too long, Shawn's music hit but, as he had earlier, Shawn stopped on the aisleway with a mic.

"Now then, I believe I told the two of you that I had a surprise for ya, and before I show it I just wanna say this… I never said that I would be the one who was handicapped!"

Spanky's music hit and he and Miz burst through the curtain and charged the ring, Jason and John met them and the four brawled it out while Shawn casually walked down to ringside. John was dropkicked to the outside allowing Miz and Spanky to double-team Jason, they hit a double hiptoss before Miz lifted Spanky up onto his shoulders so he could hit Jason with a tornado DDT, john came in but Spanky cut him off with an enziguri that made him walk into a flatliner from Miz, Spanky hopped out of the ring and Miz began to stomp away at Jason before climbing to the top-rope and hitting a missile dropkick for a two-count.

Miz tagged Spanky back in and the two whipped Jason, Miz slid under the teen while Spanky hit a leg-lariat, Jason bounced back up and Spanky hit a springboard cross-body for another two-count, he hit Jason with a snap suplex causing the teen to retreat to a corner, he went for a whip but Jason reversed it only for Spanky to jump to the middle-rope and hit a moonsault for another two. Spanky then got up and tagged in Shawn, he came in and chopped away up Jason before whipping him and catching him with an elbow, he picked the teen up and hit an atomic drop before adding a reverse DDT for two, he whipped the teen again and hit a hiptoss before suplexing him for another two, he went to hit but John nailed him in the back, he dropped to his knees allowing Jason to hit a shining wizard, the teen then tagged in John and they hit a double spinebuster for a two-count.

John started stomping away at Shawn and taunting him before picking him up and hitting a back suplex, he tagged in Jason and threw Shawn to him, the teen set Shawn up for a dragon suplex but John added a clothesline to it for extra impact, Jason bridged into a cover but Miz broke up the pin, Jason responded by cheap shotting both Miz and Spanky before hitting a neckbreaker and tagging in John, the older Cena picked Shawn up and went for the spinout powerbomb and Jason added another neckbreaker to put Shawn down, John covered but Spanky broke it up, John hit Shawn with a DDT and ripped the bandages off his injured ribs before dropping an elbow across them and hitting a gutbuster. He dragged Shawn across to the corner and tagged Jason in; the teen climbed to the middle-rope while John grabbed Shawn's legs and catapulted him across the ring while Jason added a bulldog! The teen covered but Shawn kicked out.

Jason sighed with frustration before stomping away at Shawn's ribs, he picked him up and whipped him before catching him with a powerslam for a two-count, he slammed Shawn again before climbing to the top-rope, he went for the flying cross-body but Shawn rolled through it into a pin for a two-count, Jason jumped to his feet and clotheslined Shawn down before dragging him to his corner and tagging in John, the older Cena whipped Shawn and caught him with an elbow before hitting the spinout powerbomb, instead of covering he hit the Five-Knuckle-Shuffle and called for the F-U, he lifted Shawn up but HBK slipped out and hit a DDT! Both were down and needed to tag out, John recovered first and started crawling to Jason while Shawn crawled to his corner, John tagged Jason and the teen jumped over the ropes to get in but Shawn tagged Spanky!

Spanky got in the ring and there was a moments staredown between the two before Jason started forward, Spanky however ducked the right hand and hit a flying forearm, they both quickly got up and Spanky opened up with punches before whipping Jason, the teen reversed it but Spanky came off the ropes with a headscissor! Jason jumped to his feet but Spanky hit a fisherman's suplex for a two-count, he picked the teen up and hit a leg-lariat and John came in but Spanky caught him with a dropkick using the momentum to moonsault onto Jason! He covered but again got two, Miz came in and they both picked Jason up before Spanky hit an enziguri and Miz hit a flatliner, John came in but Miz cut him off with a dropkick while Spanky covered but only got two. The referee was distracted with trying to get Miz out while Spanky set Jason up for sliced bread number two, he went for it but Jason grabbed the ropes, Spanky landed behind him and John came in with the chain but Spanky ducked and he clocked Jason round the back of the head! Miz then pushed passed the referee and hit a cross-body that took him and John over the top-rope, Jason staggered to his feet holding the spot when John had hit him, he turned round and walked right into Sweet Chin Music! Shawn got out of the ring and Spanky covered while Miz held back John, three seconds later and Shawn's team had won!

John came into the ring in a rage while Shawn, Miz and Spanky headed to the back, he turned to help Jason but the teen shoved his hand away and stood up on his own shaking his head, John tried to talk to him but the teen turned to walk away, John grabbed his shoulders and turned him round to face him.

"Look, I'm sorry, I messed up and I'm sorry, we'll get them back don't worry".

Jason shrugged and muttered. "Whatever" before turning to leave, suddenly John clocked him the chain again! Jason dropped to the ground and John stood over him before rolling him onto his back and pulling him up to a seated position by his shirt.

"Look at me, LOOK AT ME! I am sick of this high and mighty attitude from you! I've carried you from the day you got here and you know what? You've just got a little too heavy!"

Jason stared back at his brother; the pain in his eyes had nothing to do with being hit with the chain. "John…"

Before the teen could say anything else John nailed him with the chain again, the teen slumped down but John pulled him up and hit him again, and again, he went to hit him again but saw something red on the chain, he looked at Jason and saw blood pouring out of the teen's skull. He took the chain off and began driving his bare fist into the teen's head until his hands were as red with blood, Mara came in to stop him but John just shoved her down before picking Jason up and hitting the F-U, he reached down and ripped Jason's 'Chain Gang' t-shirt off, he held it in front of Jason's face and yelled "NO MORE!" Before punching him again and wrapping the shirt round his neck and choking him with it, Mara looked round in panic before sprinting backstage.

Shawn, Miz and Spanky were backstage celebrating the win when Mara ran up to Shawn.

"Shawn! Please! You gotta help…"

"Help with what?" Interrupted Spanky. "Unless you've forgotten your boyfriend…"

"Shut up Brian" said Shawn. "What's wrong Mara?"

"It's John, he's gone nuts! He's attacking Jason!"

"What?"

"They were arguing, then John attacked him, Shawn please help him!"

"Brian put the monitor on!"

Shawn looked at the screen to see John pounding Jason down then choking him out, the teen's face was a mask of blood. He frowned, help Jason? The kid who stabbed him in the back? Or walk away and let John do some serious damage to the kid? Or worse?"

"Shawn, please!"

Shawn sighed, then charged towards the ring area! John was still choking Jason when he got there, he turned to meet Shawn but HBK beat him to the punch, he pounded away on John and clotheslined him out of the ring, Mara ran over to Jason.

"Jason?" A small moan of pain was his rely, she cradled his head in her arms and tried to wipe some of the blood away, it was so thick she could hardly recognise him, he was still conscious, but barely, his eyes locked on hers.

"Hey".

"Jason…"

"I tried to stop this Mara, I really tried".

"Jason… don't…"

"I tried, I tried, and… and I failed" this was all she managed to get out of him before he passed out. Shawn looked down at them before turning back to John, he was standing on the aisle looking at the blood on his hands with a smile on his face, he picked up Jason's shirt and wiped some of the blood off with it before holding it up and tearing it apart, he dropped the pieces on the ground and turned his back on Shawn, the ring, and his brother.

End Of Chapter
Well… it's over, can't say more than that, no more Cena brothers, how will this affect Jason? Badly probably, but we'll have to wait and see. And on that, I'm afraid it's gonna be a while before I update again cause I'm going off on holiday for a while, no internet access and no digital TV, that means no Fanfic and no Great American Bash, and I was SO looking forward to seeing Mr. Kennedy… Kennedy beat Batista like there was no tomorrow! Yeah right, good luck buddy, hope he doesn't squash ya too badly, well enjoy your week everybody and if it's not too much trouble tell me if Finlay wins or not, SEE YA!
