A/N: I hope everyone had a happy new year! I also want to thank everyone again who continue to read and review my story, because of that I'm inspired to write more often. This chapter was also hard to write for some reason and I wasn't completely satisfied with it. Still I hope everyone else is!
Disclaimer: See chapter one.
Summary: After Vince sends all three brands to the chocolate capital of the US for a show, Hunter has to form a surveillance team to keep Shawn from getting any form of chocolate that could cause him to get sugar high and cause more trouble than even DX could imagine! Will the Game succeed or with the crafty showstopper outsmart him?
Shawn grinned as he saw Hunter's SUV pull back into the parking lot. 'This should teach you to not come and say hi to me. Oh! I mean to try and stop me. Now let's see what you can do now that I have Matt and Jeff.' The sound of a door slamming startled Shawn out of his thoughts. He turned away from the window to see Punk come in, trying to keep the hyper Jeff under control. "Is everything set up?"
Punk nodded, "Yeah. He's on tied up on the roof hanging over that vat of mustard, just like you asked."
Shawn grinned, "Excellent!"
"I do have a question though."
"What is it Punk?"
"Why are you using a vat of mustard and where did you get it from anyway?"
"Well don't worry about where I got it from, all you need to know is that I got it." Shawn turned to Jeff and clapped his hands, "Now about the other part, would you like to answer that Jeff?"
Jeff gave Shawn another salute before beginning to speak, "Well Matty has an extreme hatred of mustard, so we figured after being dunked in it for a while he'll snap and come over to our side."
Shawn broke out in applause, "Good job! You've only been working with me for a few hours and already you come up with something like this. I'm thinking of making you an honorary member of DX!"
Punk just started at the heartbreaker and the rainbow haired warrior and the two continued to talk, wondering what exactly he had gotten himself into. 'Damn Shawn and his free Pepsi! He better pay up when this is done.' he thought. "So what's next Shawn?"
Shawn stopped celebrating with Jeff and cleared his throat, "Well I still don't know what Hunter's plan is, that's the downside of getting Jeff hyper. He tends to forget a lot of things. I do know that they'll have to send someone in to look for Matt, so both of you be on the look out."
"Well what about THEM?" Jeff asked, munching on a new bag of skittles.
"Both of them will be hiding out in the lobby. They while Hunter's team is distracted we'll make our escape and head to the factory!" Shawn checked his watch "Three am, we have to get into the factory before daybreak!"
"Why?" Punk asked.
Shawn's eyes started shifting around the hotel room, looking everywhere except at Punk. "Well you see...they kinda have a restraining order against me. I can't go into the factory during the day. Which is why we have to hurry and get this show on the road!"
"You it would have been nice to know that we have a time limit here!"
"Oh cheer up!" he said as he threw and arm around Punk's shoulders "If we don't succeed tonight we can always try again after the show tomorrow! Besides the quicker I get my chocolate, the faster you get your Pepsi."
Punk cursed his love of the soda before saying, "Whatever you say Shawn."
Hunter quickly jumped out the car and turned to the others. "Now that Jeff's helping him, this mission just got a lot more complicated. Also since we don't know who it was that cut off Matt, everyone be careful! Now we don't have much time. We have to make sure that Shawn doesn't get out this hotel."
"What should we do if we find Jeff?" John asked.
Hunter sighed and looked around at the others. "Does anyone know how bring Jeff off of a sugar high?" Hunter was met with murmurs of "no" and sighed again. "Well I guess the answer to that is we knock him out and bring him with us!"
Hunter then reached into the truck and pulled out a bag. "I know we all have cell phones, but on a mission like this we need to go a little old school." He gave each of the other superstars a walkie-talkie. "If you find Shawn or one of his henchmen, radio me or someone near by immediately. Now remember we're only after Shawn, so only if its absolutely necessary, take out one of his minions."
"Hunter, how do you know that he's even still in the hotel? I mean that meeting went on for awhile. He could have easily snuck out before we came back." Mark explained.
"That's what most normal people would probably do in a situation like this, but as all of us know, Shawn isn't a normal person. I know he won't leave until we have some kind of big showdown or something like that." Hunter's phone started ringing and when he checked the number his widened as he realized it was Matt's. "Matt? Are you okay?!" he shouted.
"Hunter is that anyway to greet your best friend?" Shawn's voice answered back.
"Shawn? What are you doing with Matt's phone! Where is he?"
"Ummm...he's a little tied up right now, but I'm sure you'll find him soon. He might be looking a little yellow when you find him though."
"What are you talking about?"
He could hear Shawn chuckling over the phone. "You'll find that out, when you find him." The phone clicked off after that, leaving the game glaring at the device. Everyone stood in silence until Randy finally spoke up.
"What did he say?"
"He was talking about Matt. He's tied up somewhere in the hotel. Shawn also said something about him being yellow by the time we find him."
"Maybe he was trying to say Matt joined up with him!" Chris shouted.
Everyone just glared at Chris as Dave began speaking."Hunter we have to do this now. We have to find Matt." Everyone agreed and faced Hunter who nodded at them.
"All right everyone take your positions!" He shouted to the others. "Chris I want you wait across the street. I'm going in and if nothing happens in 20 minutes come back over here, understand?"
Chris nodded "Yeah I got it."
Randy and John took their spots, both of them hiding behind cars on separate sides of the parking lot. Hunter, Dave, Adam, and Mark then stormed the hotel. The lobby was empty except for the clerk and a few guests sitting around.
All four of them looked around and saw no sign of Matt, Shawn, or any of his minions. "Where do you think they hid Matt?" Mark asked.
"I'm not sure. When he called me he didn't even say where he was." Hunter replied.
"Look Hunter," Dave started. "One of us should go with you. I mean like you said who knows what he has planned."
"No I need both of you down here." Hunter turned to Adam, "I want you to look for Matt. He could be anywhere in this hotel, but stay hidden. We don't know who else Shawn has on his side."
"All right Hunter. I'll see what I can do." Adam ran out of the lobby and started up the stairs. 'I guess those blackmail photos will have to wait. Damn it Matt! Something like this could only happen to you."
"Now Mark, Dave. I want the both of you to disguise yourselves however you can and stay on the look out for Shawn. I'll try and chase him back down here to you, so be ready." Hunter explained.
"Just go get Shawn, Hunter. Mark and I will take care of the rest." Dave said. Hunter nodded to them and ran out of the lobby as well. Dave plopped down in a seat behind him and said, "You know something Mark?"
"What?"
"You know this is really gonna bite us in the ass at the show tomorrow right."
Mark chuckled, "Yeah I know, but trust me getting a chocolate addicted Shawn under control is well worth it. I hope Hunter's plan works."
Dave looked around the lobby one more time and nodded. "Your not the only one."
Hunter raced up the stairs. He knew he had to get to Shawn quickly, before he realized that he had a chance to a escape. He was beginning to think that he had gotten in a little over his head. He never thought Shawn would pull something like this. He was beginning to think a sugar deprived Shawn was more dangerous than a sugar high one. When he reached the exit to the sixth floor he heard Adam's voice on his radio. "Hunter! Hunter come in dammit!"
Hunter quickly picked up his radio, "Hunter here. What is it?"
"I found Matt."
"What! Where is he?"
"On the roof, but Hunter your not gonna believe this." Adam stared at the scene on the roof, somehow there was some kind of device dangling Matt over the largest vat of mustard he had ever seen in his life.
"What?"
"He's hanging over a vat of mustard. Now I get the whole he'll be yellow comment."
Hunter snorted. He knew that something like this was vintage Shawn. "Well can you get him down?"
"I'll try. He's hanging kinda high up."
"Alright. Hunter out."
Adam stared for a moment before pulling out his digital camera and snapping a few photos. "If I can't get ones of Shawn, these might come in handy later." He walked over to Matt and began untying him until a voice called out.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" Adam stopped trying to get Matt down and turned away from the vat, and came face to face with Punk. "After all I worked so hard to put him up there."
Adam stared at him in shock. "Don't tell me your working with Shawn too!"
Punk nodded. "What can I say, he can be really convincing when he wants to be." He pulled out a small remote from one of his pockets. "Now if you don't get out of here I'll have to start dunking people."
Adam glared at him, but slowly began walking away from Matt. "Great. Now start walk--!" He never got a chance to finish as Adam suddenly speared him. The two fell on the ground wrestling for the remote. Punk used his free hand to punch Adam in th the jaw, which broke the blonde's grip on the remote.
Adam wrapped his legs around Punk, using his strength to roll them over. He grabbed the sides of Punk's head and gave him a headbutt before punching him a few more times. Neither superstar would quit and they continued to roll all over the roof trading punches and kicks.
By then neither had realized that the remote had disappeared. They were two busy trying to beat the hell out of the other. Adam then remembered that he had his walkie-talkie in his jacket and waited for the right moment to use it. However when they heard a loud click and then a loud splash. They slowly looked up and noticed that Matt was no longer hanging above the vat.
"SHIT!" They shouted in unison. While Punk was distracted, Adam took this time and hit him in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
He stood up and quickly ran over to the vat, staring into it. "Matt your definitely gonna owe me for this one." He dived into the mustard, untying the elder Hardy and pulling him out. Adam laid him out on the ground and began shaking him. "Matt! Matt wake up!" Matt started coughing Adam helped him up. "You alright?"
"Yeah I think so. What happened?" he asked groggily.
Adam pulled him up. "Oh nothing. You were just dunked in a huge vat of mustard."
"Oh...did you just say MUSTARD!" Matt grabbed Adam and began shaking him. "I can't stand mustard!"
He slapped Matt upside the head to get him to release him. "We don't have time for this right now. We have to go meet up with Hunter."
"But I'm all covered in mustard! Can't I at least take a shower first?"
"NO!" Adam shouted as he led him back down the stairs.
Hunter stood silently outside Shawn's room '616, I hope this works." He knocked on the door and stood on the side waiting to see if someone opened it. When he heard the lock click and the door began to open he took his chance and forced his way inside and was met with the grinning face of the mastermind behind this. "Shawn."
Shawn grinned and bounced happily over to his friend, giving him a tight hug. "Hi Hunter! It surely took you long enough to come and see me."
Hunter just stared. At the moment he was very, very confused. "Well since I have, can you quit all of this now. Since I'm here you have no chance of getting to that factory."
"Sorry buddy, but since you always spoil my fun whenever I get a chance to have even the smallest bit of chocolate your the one not getting to the factory. JEFF NOW!"
Jeff busted out of the hall closet wielding a steel chair, which Hunter easily blocked with his sledgehammer. The force of the hit sent Jeff hard into the door, but when he turned back to face Shawn he was greeted with a foot as Shawn gave him a dose of Sweet Chin Music. While Hunter lie on the ground dazed Shawn knelt over him. "Sorry about this, but I'll be sure to save you some of my chocolate K!?" Shawn placed a quick kiss on his cheek before running out with Jeff.
When he was sure they were gone Hunter sat up and grinned. "Damn! It worked perfectly." He pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted to Dave. "Tell Mark to get ready. They're on the way down!" He got up and started running out of the room when he met up with a mustard covered Adam and Matt. "What the hell happened to you two?
Matt just glared at Adam. "He made me fall into a vat of mustard."
Adam ignored him and rolled his eyes. "Where's Shawn? This is his room isn't it?"
Hunter nodded and began running again with Adam and Matt trailing him. "He's on his way to the lobby. Hopefully Mark and Dave will be able to stop him."
"I don't know about that." Matt said, "Since he has Jeff with him now, things have gotten a lot more complicated. I've heard what Shawn can do and I've seen what Jeff can do, so trust me when I say we have some problems."
"Don't worry. I don't think Shawn as anymore minions and I know that when it comes to something like this neither one of them is going to let them out of here." Hunter said.
"Mark get ready." Dave whispered to his partner as he hid his radio.
They were on opposite sides of the lobby with both of them facing the door. Dave stood facing the clerk as Mark sat in one of the chairs with his face hidden in a magazine. The waited until they Shawn's booming voice echoing into the lobby. "Now we just have to get to the car Jeff, then I'm counting on you to get us to the factory got it?"
"Yeah I got it boss!" he replied happily.
They waited until Shawn and Jeff got close to the door before they blocked the exit, glaring down at the two smaller wrestlers. Dave smirked as he spoke. "Sorry Shawn, but you aren't going anywhere..."
Will Dave and Mark be able keep Shawn from getting out of the hotel? Will Shawn's other minions ever be revealed? Will he ever get to the factory before it opens in the morning? Will Matt ever get over his hatred of mustard? Who knows, but everything will answered in the next chapter!
