Here We Go!

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Seventy One-The Home Stretch

Smackdown, two days short of Judgement Day, the Smackdown locker room was preparing for their final show before the PPV, the atmosphere for this show was different, both the wrestlers and fans knew one thing, whatever happened between now and Judgement Day it would be the last any of them would see of one of the Cena brothers. The locker room was split over who they wanted to win, as were the fans, on one hand you had Jason, the teenager, the one who had the feel-good moments, then there was John, the one fans loved to hate and the bigger draw when it came to money. The pyro's went off to start the show, no sooner had they stopped 'My Time Is Now' hit and John marched down to ringside with a smirk on his face, he entered the ring and grabbed a mic.

"Ladies and gentlmen, welcome to a historic edition of Friday Night Smackdown! That's right, every last one of you here is part of history tonight, because, in some twenty years time when you're all sitting in your trailers with your banjo's you can look down at your kids and say 'I was there... I was there when Jason Cena appeared on WWE TV for the very last time' Because after this Sunday I will do you all the favour of removing Jason Cena from this company and sending him packing to whatever crappy Indy promotion... I'm looking at you Florida, wants to pay him to compete. It's kinda fitting actually, it's kinda fitting that our match is on Sunday, Judgement Day is where it all began for Jason one year ago, when he forced himself back into my life and used me to get the exposure he never could on his own, now, it's all gonna end, no more using me to get yourself over, no more dragging me away from the main-event scene and no more ... wait I'm getting ahead of myself. You see, tonight little Jason has one more challenge to complete, that being an extreme rules match against Sabu, so when you think about it, he may not make it to Judgement Day, and if that's the case..."

The DX music hit to interrupt him and he smiled as Jason came down to the ring to interrupt him, the teen entered the ring and snatched the mic out of his hands, without taking his eyes off his brother Jason raised the mic and spoke in a dangerously low tone.

"Now, you listen to me, because if this is my last night on Smackdown, and these are the last words I say on WWE TV, then I want you, all these people and all the guys in the back to listen. For the past four months you have made my life, your brother's life, a living hell, you've beaten me down, you've cost me matches and you've put me against people who you think will take me out. Believe it or not, I can take that, you broke my heart and took away the last pieces of family I had, so beating me down is nothing compared to that, but there are three things I can't take. Dragging my mother's name through the mud, taking out my friends, and putting your hands on someone who I care more about than life itself! One and two you don't have to worry about, but last week you crossed the line, it's one thing to try and kiss Mara, but for you to give her the F-U? You may as well have signed your own death warrent!"

John just laughed.

"Laugh it up bro' you won't be laughing after Judgement Day, and as far as tonight goes, you think that putting me against Sabu in an extreme rules match is supposed to scare me? As far as I'm concerened Sabu is just another roadblock to run through, and once I do there'll be nothing between us this Sunday!"

"If you survive Sabu".

"I'll survive John, I don't care if he breaks my ribs, my arms and my legs, I'll still come out to face you at Judgement Day, and I'm not gonna delude myself or these people by guaranteeing a victory, but I will guarantee this, this Sunday if I've got a breath in my body, as long as my hearts still beating and as long as I can move my body I will make you fight for every last second of that match! And if it is the end for me, if I have to leave, I'm gonna make sure I put on a show that no-one will ever forget!"

"Very emotional kid, but I doubt you'll survive tonight, and I doubt what's left of you will be able to climb that ladder at Judgement Day".

"We'll see, anyway moving on to tonight, you've taken the liberty of picking my poison for tonight, now it's my turn. To be honest it was hard to find someone who could match Sabu but I think this guy can, you see I have a friend called Matt, and Matt used to have a friend called Shannon wh now works for ECW but they don't talk, but Matt's brother Jeff, from RAW, does talk to Shannon, so I got Matt to call Jeff to call Shannon to get this guy to call me, now it was hard convincing this guy, we hardly know each other and the only time we've spoken to each other was an ECW thing in New York, but I managed to convince him to come here tonight, so without further ado, you're opponent tonight, C... M... Punk!"

Punk's music hit and he came out to the ring, John tried to bail as he approached but Jason stopped him beggining a brawl between the two, John gained control by kicking Jason in the injured ribs then beating him down as Punk entered the ring, John turned to him only to revieve a huge kick to knock him down, Punk threw him to a corner and hit a running knee and a bulldog, he waited for John to stand and went for the ura-nage but was interrupted by the Spirit Squad hitting the ring to save the older Cena, John bailed as Punk tried to fight off the Squad, just as the numbers got too much Jason came back in to help, the two quickly sent four of the five Squad members packing leaving just Mitch in the ring, Punk gave him a stiff kick causing him to stagger into Jason who dropped him with the F-U! Punk and Jason shook hands before staring down John as he and the Squad exited the ringside area.

"What the hell was that?" Screamed John when he got back to the locker room, Mark Henry glanced up from his seat while the Squad focused on helping Mitch recover from the F-U.

"I said what the hell was that?" Repeated John.

"Calm down!" Yelled Kenny.

"Calm down? Calm down! You guys just got the crap kicked out of you by two people and one of them was hurt, and you want me to calm down!" In his anger he lashed out and hit Mitch.

"Watch it! I just got F-U'ed out there!"

"Cry me a fucking river! And where were you Mark?"

Henry glanced back up and shrugged.

"And you?" John rounded on Trinity as she entered the room.

"I was with Long" she replied putting up her arms in a defensive stance. "You're not the only one with plans for Judgement Day, anyway relax, Sabu's gonna take the kid out tonight".

"Speaking of that, where is he?"

Just as he finished saying that Sabu casually walked into the room.

"Did you see what just happened out there?"

"I did".

"Why didn't you come out?"

"I'm just here to beat your brother, nothing else".

"Look Sabu, as long as you're here you do what I tell you to do or you will never get another ECW title shot! In fact if you don't beat Jason then that's just what's gonna happen!"

The two went face-to-face but Trinity stepped between them.

"Look guys, we need to keep cool, Sabu go get ready for your match" Sabu left and she turned to John. "And you, calm down, you need to focus on Punk he won't be easy".

"Calm down? My job's on the line Trinity! How the fuck can I calm down?"

"Just focus on Punk, the ladder match isn't important, you beat Punk and let Sabu take care of Jason, then you can worry about the ladder match, until then just keep cool".

"You're right" said John. "You're right, I just gotta deal with Punk".

He walked out leaving his group sitting in the room.

"Wow, you're good" muttered Kenny.

"Shut up" replied Trinity. "I've already said I ain't interested, now I got business to take care of, make sure he don't lose it again".

With that she headed out of the locker room towards the ring, smirking as her plan for Mara went through her head.

Meanwhile back in their locker room, Jason and Shawn were going over strategy for the teen's match, Punk sat in a corner preparing for the match with John, Mara was lacing up her boots for her match, she and Ashley were teaming against Trinity and her old rival Melina, Ashley was also in the room waiting for her partner to finish getting ready.

"You sure you don't want me out there?" Asked Jason.

"Don't worry, me and Ashley can handle them".

"I know that, it's just I got a bad feeling about this, I wouldn't put it past her to pull something out there".

"Like I said, we can handle it".

"Suit yourself" replied Jason, as she and Ashley got ready to leave, he stood up and hugged her. "Good luck".

She smiled and kissed him in thanks before leaving, Ashley rolled her eyes before following, Jason sat back down with Shawn.

"Like I said, Me, Kennedy and the others will stay back here, but any sign of interference and we'll come out".

"No problem" replied Jason, he went over to where Punk was sitting.

"You ready?" Punk nodded. "Thanks again for doing this, I appreciate it" again Punk nodded.

"I've said this to Lashley and Finlay so I'm gonna say it to you, when you go out there beat him and leave, that's it, I want him at one hundred percent when I face him, is that cool with you?"

"No problem".

"Cool" Jason went back to Shawn and the two flipped on the monitor to watch Mara's match, Jason had been right to guess that Trinity was up to something as she dropped out of the match and put in ECW veteran Jazz in her place, but once again Mara pulled out the victory for her team after dropping Jazz with the Angels Wings.

A short while later John's music hit and the older Cena made his way out to the ring, the older Cena looked a little worried as he walked down the aisle but quickly replaced with a look of determination, Punk's music hit and he came down the aisle to a huge cheer from the crowd, as he climbed up on the apron John struck, he ran forward and cheapshotted Punk to knock him down then jumped out of the ring and began beating him down. He picked Punk up and began punching away at him only for Punk to dodge and hit a big kick to knock him down, Punk took control and stomped John down before picking him up and hitting right hands, he whipped John towards the steel steps but the older Cena reversed it and caused him to hit them hard.

John picked Punk up and slammed him across the bottom part of the steps before throwing him back in the ring, he followed and stomped Punk down before picking him up and hitting a sidewalk slam, he picked Punk back up again and whipped him, he caught him with a backdrop then hit the ropes and ran through Punk with a clothesline followed by a suplex for a two-count. Punk tried to get back up but John knocked him back down and hit a load of punches before picking Punk up and throwing him to the corner, he charged but Punk put his foot up, John reeled away allowing Punk to come out and hit a snapmare before dropkicking him in the back of the head, John got up and Punk went after him but John pulled the referee between them, Punk hesitated allowing John to sucker punch him and hit a DDT for a two-count.

John quickly stomped Punk back down before picking him up and hitting a back suplex for a two-count, Punk used the ropes to try and pull himself up but John just ran forward and clotheslined him to the outside, he followed and stomped Punk down some more before bouncing his head off the announce table then threw him into the steel steps again, he dragged Punk back to his feet and bounced his head off the steel ringpost then threw him back into the ring and covered for a two-count. Punk tried to crawl to the corner to pull himself up but John stopped him and hit a neckbreaker, he waited for Punk to start getting up then hit the ropes behind Punk and landed the throwback for another two-count, Punk retreated to the corner and John charged but ran into an elbow, Punk tried to come running out but John took him down with a drop-toehold and locked on the STF-U! Punk immediately began struggling but John locked it on tight and wouldn't budge. Punk kept fighting and inched his way towards the ropes but seemed to give up, he raised his arm to tap but suddenly elbowed himself loose and grabbed the bottom rope! John argued with the referee as Punk forced his way to his feet and John went for a clothesline but Punk ducked and dropped him with a DDT! He rolled into a cover but John kicked out.

The two got back up and Punk hit a suplex, John rolled to his knees and Punk hit a shining wizard! He covered but John kicked out again, Punk then hit a few slaps to the head followd by a roundhouse kick for another two-count, Punk then went to the top-rope but John cut him off, the fought it out and John went for a suplex but Punk fought out of it and set John up for the Pepsi Plunge! Just before he could hit the move John countered it and backdropped Punk down for the top-rope! He then waited for Punk to stand and came down only to be met with a huge kick! Punk covered but John kicked out, the two got back up and Punk charged but John backdropped him over the top-rope, Punk landed on the apron and punched John away before hitting a springboard clothesline for another two-count, the two got back up and Punk hit a backbreaker for yet another two-count, John retreated to a corner and Punk followed with a running knee, he went for the bulldog but John countered into the spinout powerbomb! He stood over Punk then hit the Five-Knuckle-Shuffle and called for the F-U, he lifted Punk up but he slipped off his shoulders and hit a reverse DDT.

John pulled himself back up in the corner and Punk hit the running knee again followed by a bulldog, he waited for John to stand and hit the ura-nage and locked on the Anaconda Vice! He tried to put it on properly but John slipped loose and rolled him up, the referee started counting as John grabbed the ropes! The referee didn't notice and continued counting the three! John immediately bailed after recording the win as Punk argued with the referee, John smirked to himself and sat down next to Cole and JBL as he waited for Jason and Sabu to begin.

Sabu's music hit in the arena and the suicidle, homicidle and genocidle one made his way out to the ring with his trusty steel chair, as he got in the ring he stared down John who just smirked back at him while he out the chair in the corner, the DX music hit and Jason came out to the ring, the younger Cena looked more pumped up than ever as he entered the ring and set off the pyro's, he knew this could be his last match on Smackdown, he stared down Sabu as the referee called for the bell.

The two circled the ring a few times before charging towards each other, Jason beat Sabu to the punch and beat him back to the corner before Sabu switched places and began punching away at him before whipping him across the ring, Jason reversed it and caught Sabu with a backdrop as he came out of the corner then dropkicked him, Sabu retreated to the corner and grabbed his chair, he threw it at Jason but the teen caught it and threw it back knocking Sabu to the ground, he staggered back to his feet and Jason hit a clothesline to send him to the outside, he rolled out after him and threw him into the crowd barrier and clotheslined him down before looking for weapons under the ring, he pulled out a trashcan and its lid, a hockey stick, a stop sign, a fire extinguisher and a table and put them all in the ring, Sabu took advantage of his distraction and jumped him before throwing him into the steps, he picked them up and ran them into Jason's head! He covered on the outside but Jason kicked out.

Sabu stomped Jason down then threw the teen back in the ring, he grabbed his chair and hit Jason in the face with it before covering for another two-count, Jason rolled to the corner where Sabu followed and hit some right hands before dragging him out and hitting him with the stop sign and pinned him for another two-count. Jason retreated to a corner again and Sabu set his chair up before using it to hit a running dropkick in the corner, Jason staggered out and Sabu clotheslined him down, he climbed the ropes behind the teen and when he got up hit a tornado DDT for a two-count, Jason rolled to the outside as Sabu set the chair up again and used it to hit a triple jump cross-body to the teen on the outside, he made another cover but again only got a two-count. Sabu continued to beat Jason around ringside until they were in front of the announce table, he knocked Jason down and began dismantling the table, Jason started getting up only for Sabu to hit him with a monitor before rolling him onto the table, he went back in the ring and set up the chair before charging but as he stepped up to the top-rope Jason moved! Sabu managed to balance himself on the top-rope before flying off the ropes with a flip-senton right on top of Jason! He covered but again only got a two-count.

Sabu rolled the teen back into the ring and stomped him a few times, he went to pick Jason up but the teen slipped loose and began throwing right hands, he backed Sabu against the ropes and tried a whip but Sabu reversed it and got a drop-toehold on the chair! He then grabbed the chair and legdropped it into the teen's face before covering for another two-count, he went back to stomping Jason before grabbing the table and setting it up in the corner, instead of putting it to use he rolled out of the ring and pulled out another table, and another then slid them into the ring. Jason was up in a corner and Sabu tried to whip him through the table but Jason reversed it! Sabu put on the brakes just before he hit the table then caught Jason with a kick to put it down then put on the camel clutch!

The teen tried to free himself from the hold but Sabu had his hands locked so he couldn't use them to loosen it, he continued to struggle for the better part of a minute but couldn't find a way to get free, just as the referee was about to call for the bell Jason suddenly forced himself to his feet with Sabu on his back, he staggered around the ring before falling backwards and driving Sabu through the trashcan! The two forced their ways back up and Jason tried a whip but Sabu reversed it only for the teen to come off the ropes with a flying forearm and nipping up! He opened up on Sabu with right hands then clotheslined him to knock him down, he then picked up the extinguisher and cracked it round Sabu's skull! He covered but Sabu kicked out, the teen quickly jumped up and threw the trashcan lid at Sabu, he caught it but Jason ran forward and hit the shining wizard for a two-count, Sabu retreated to a corner and Jason followed with a stinger splash and hit a neckbreaker, Sabu bounced right back up and Jason dropped him with a dragon suplex! The referee counted but Sabu kicked out at two, Jason grabbed Sabu and went for the impaler but Sabu backdropped out of it, Jason landed in front of the table and Sabu charged him but the teen powerslammed him through the table! He dragged Sabu out of the corner and covered but Sabu kicked out at two.

The teen looked stunned for a second then rolled out of the ring and looked under it, he searched around for a few seconds then smiled as he pulled out a ladder! He slid it back in the ring then picked it up and smacked Sabu in the head with it then set it up in the corner and began climbing, Sabu climbed up as well and the two fought it out before Jason shoved himdown and followed with a cross-body! he covered but Sabu again kicked out at two, the two got up and Jason tried a whip but Sabu reversed it and lowered his head only for Jason to drop down and punch him in the face before hitting an X-Factor,he stood over Sabu and called for the Five-Knuckle-Shuffle, he hit the ropes, paused,pointed at John and gave a crotch chop then landed it and called for the F-U! He got ready to hit it but Mitch from the Spirit Squad entered the ring only to run into a right hand, Nicky followed but was knocked down as well, Kenny and Mikey entered together but alsowent down, Jason then turned back to Sabu but walked into a Johnny-Go-Round! The Squad then swarmed over the teen and beat him down before setting up one of the tables, they each grabbed a limb and hit the high spirits through it! They all left the ring and Sabu covered but Jason kicked out!

Sabu looked stunned and the Squad started to return to the ring but Shawn, Kennedy and half the locker room running down and jumped them! They all brawled to the back as Sabu tried to slam Jason only for the teen to escape and drop him with a reverse DDT for a two-count, the teen called for the F-U again but Mark Henry hit the ring, he beat Jason down and whipped him into a corner before hitting a splash, he dragged Jason out of the corner and slammed him, he went for a big splash but CM Punk hit the ring to make the save he hit Henry with some right hands before hitting him with a kick to knock him out of the ring, he followed and they brawled to the back as Sabu and Jason got up, Sabu grabbed the chair and smacked Jason round the head with it before setting up the final table right next to the ladder, he rolled Jason onto it and began climbing with the chair, Mara tried to stop him but he knocked her down, this allowed Jason to climb up and the two began brawling at the top of the ladder, Jason pulled Sabu's chair out of his hands and hit him round the head with it before pulling him onto his shoulders and dropping him with an F-U from the ladder through the table! He dropped to the mat and crawled over Sabu as the referee counted the three.

Jason slowly pulled himself to his feet and allowed the referee to raise his arm, he heard someone getting in the ring behind him and turned only for John to run through him with a clothesline, the older Cena stomped down his younger brother then began unloading with punches until the referee pulled him away, he knocked the official down and went back to hammering Jason as Sabu tried to get back up. John finally got off Jason and wrapped his chain around his fist then waited for the teen to stand, he was just about to nail him when Randy Orton's music hit! John and Sabu turned to the aisleway but Randy came in through the crowd and dropped Sabu with the RKO! He then stared down John as he got back out of the ring and left as quickly as he'd arrived, John suddenly remembered Jason and charged him only for the teen to lift him up and land the F-U! The younger Cena gave his brother a crotch chop then set the ladder up over his brother's body and began climbing. Jason posed atop the ladder as his brother lay under it in a possible preview of Judgement Day.
