A/N: Wow! Chapter six! Sorry it took so long to update, but hopefully everyone will think the wait was worth it. Let's see what happens when Shawn finally gets inside the factory.
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 will the crafty showstopper outsmart him?
Shawn couldn't keep the grin off his face when they pulled up in front of the factory. All their hard work had paid off and they were finally there! Now the only obstacle was getting into the factory itself.
Shawn looked around, trying to scope out a place where they could enter. "Well obviously we can't go through the front door, so the next best choice is the back." Jeff nodded and the two hopped back in the car and drove around to the back of the factory.
As they drove around to the back Jeff noticed a whole bunch of signs lying around, but couldn't make out what they said. "Hey boss! I think we should stop and read these signs. They might help us get in faster."
Shawn glanced at them and shook his head. "We don't have time! Hunter and his team are probably right on our tails! Besides what could they possibly do to keep us out?"
When they got out in the back, they couldn't believe what the Hershey factory did to keep them out. "I can't believe their high tech security system is nothing but a bunch of guard dogs." Jeff said as he walked over to a fence blocking their entrance into the factory. "I mean those dogs look completely harmless."
There were about three or four pit bulls on the other side of the fence. The dogs were in a position that once somebody crossed the fence they were dog food. One had seen Jeff and eagerly went over to him. Jeff smiled and stuck his hand through to pet him, "Hey boss come here! These dogs are harmless. Come pet one!"
Shawn, a true dog lover at heart, couldn't resist and went over to the dogs. That's when all hell broke loose. Both Jeff and Shawn were thrown back from the fence as the dog went crazy. It had jumped against the fence and was shaking it in an attempt to break free. It's barking had woken up the other dogs who, as soon as they caught sight of them, joined him in attacking the fence.
"What the hell is wrong with those things?!" Shawn shouted, moving back some more when the fence started to wobble.
"How am I supposed to know?! They didn't do anything until they saw you." Jeff shouted back.
"That's not true!"
"Yeah it is!" Jeff got up and dragged Shawn out of the sight of the dogs. As soon as he did the dogs immediately calmed down. Then slowly Shawn walked back in front of the dogs and they went crazy again.
"Well how do you like that. I wonder who trained them to do that?" Shawn said.
Jeff had noticed one of the signs littering the back and began reading it. "Specially trained guard dogs from the WWE. Will attack any superstar you want them too. Will not attack superstar lookalikes." He put the sign down and stared at Shawn, "I guess this is more of Hunter's doing."
Shawn was in the middle of a glaring contest with the dogs and wasn't paying much attention. "So this was the security system Hunter told them to get. I wonder what other surprises they have for us?"
Jeff snorted, "That doesn't help us. How are we gonna get past the dogs!"
Shawn stopped glaring at the dogs and turned to Jeff. "I have an idea!"
Jeff stared at him quizzically, "Is that supposed to be a good thing?"
"Shut up or no more skittles for you!" Shawn smirked when Jeff's face paled when he threatened to cut him off. "Now as I was saying, since the dogs are trained to attack me why don't you lead them away, so I can sneak inside."
"Are you sure? I mean pits are really hard to handle when they see something they want...or want to bite."
Shawn waved his hand dismissively, "Oh relax and trust me already! This will work out fine."
Jeff shrugged and walked over to the fence, "Whatever you say boss." While Shawn hid out of sight from the dogs, Jeff climbed the fence and cut all of the dogs chains. When he felt he'd led them far enough from the doors he called back to Shawn. "Go inside! These dogs are hard to control!"
Shawn nodded and jumped over the fence, making a run for the door. The dogs caught sight of Shawn and tried to break free from Jeff's grasp. Which led to him to being dragged across the ground. "Shawn! Get in the damn factory already!"
Shawn had finally reached the door, but then realized he had forgotten one important piece of his plan. "Damn it! I forgot the keys!" He glanced back to see the dogs and Jeff getting closer. He decided then to use the next best he had. "Thank God for sweet chin music!" He glanced back at the dogs again before he began stomping his foot to get ready to superkick the door. "1...2...3..."
The dogs were still dragging Jeff who shouted, "Shawn your tuning up the band at a time like this?! Just kick the damn door in already!"
"4...5...Damn it Jeff! You made me lose count!" Irritated from losing count, he went ahead and kicked the glass pane of the door in. No sooner did he run trough the glass the dogs drug Jeff inside, as they followed close behind him. "Now we just have to find the chocolate!"
"Can't you focus on the problem at hand!" Jeff shouted.
"Which is ?"
"The fact that four crazed pit bulls are chasing you and dragging me through a chocolate factory!"
Chris was standing outside the car when Hunter pulled up. When the conscious members of Hunter's team saw all of the destruction they all had one thing to say, "Jeff was driving wasn't he?" Chris could only nod and sigh.
"I tried to keep going after I blew the tire, but I lost control and hit the hydrant. I know that by now Shawn's gotten to the factory, so what are we gonna do?"
"Don't worry. Shawn maybe in the factory, but there's no way he's gotten to the chocolate with the little security aid I got." Mark said.
Hunter stared at him confusedly, "What are you talking about deadman?"
Mark chuckled, "You and Shawn aren't the only ones with connections. I made a few calls and got some of those superstar attack dogs delivered to the factory. We still have time."
Hunter grinned, "Now that's what I'm talking about! Come on guys! We have one more chance to catch them, so lets not waste it!"
Everyone piled back into Hunter's car and as they drove Chris couldn't help but notice the unconscious forms of John and Randy. "Hey shouldn't someone at least try to wake them up. I mean we might need them when we get to the factory."
Dave shrugged from the front seat, "Don't worry about them. They were knocked out by Glen, so they'll come out of it eventually."
Chris then glanced at Matt and Chris, who were still covered in mustard. "What the hell happened to you?"
Matt glared at Adam and pointed a finger at him. "He made me fall into a vat of mustard."
"Are you ever gonna get over that?" Adam asked.
"No."
All Chris could do was shake his head at that. Something was telling him to stop asking questions but there was one thing that was still bothering him. "Hey Dave, How exactly did Shawn escape from the hotel anyway?" The growl from Hunter told him immediately that he wasn't going to any kind of answer for that question, so he decided to leave it alone and just enjoy the ride.
As soon as Hunter pulled up to the factory they saw Jeff's car. "Well we know they're here now, so what's the plan guys ?" Adam asked.
Hunter stepped out and looked around, noticing the shattered door and the broken chains. "Well I guess they had a run in with the dogs already." He grabbed his sledgehammer and turned to the others, "Alright! We have only an hour before the factory opens, if we can capture him and keep him away from the chocolate we'll have succeeded. Then we can move on to the final phase...breaking his habit."
"What happens if he escapes?" Chris asked.
Hunter glared at him, "Why is it that you always feel the need to ruin my moments! If he escapes we'll have to handle him at the show tonight. Once he gets that chocolate his brain is gonna shut down, so I know he'll pull something where everyone can see him."
"But what if..." Mark quickly covered Chris' mouth with his hand to keep the blonde from saying anything else to piss off their leader.
"Jericho, just shut up and let him talk!" Mark shouted. "Now tell us the plan."
Hunter nodded and began speaking, "The plan is really simple. Everyone split up when they get inside and as soon as someone finds him radio for backup, don't try to catch him on your own."
Suddenly the back doors of Hunter's truck opened and Randy and John staggered out in a daze, holding their heads. "What the hell happened to us?" John asked.
Hunter smirked, "Don't worry about that now. Shawn's made it into the factory and we're about to go in, you two up for it?"
Both Randy and John looked at each other before shouting, "Hell yeah!"
"That's the spirit!" Hunter said. "Now everyone be careful we got Shawn, four dogs, and a sugar high enigma in there. So things might get a little crazy in there. Everyone ready?!"
A chorus of "Yeahs!" echoed throughout the parking lot. The eight superstars entered cautiously through the shattered door as they all got into pairs and split up. Mark and Hunter walked through the halls factory listening for any barking, shouting, or cursing.
"I don't hear anything. Maybe the dogs chased him out." Mark said.
"No, he's definitely still here I can feel it." The game and the deadman paused in one of the halls trying to hear something, anything that could lead them to Shawn. Eventually a faint barking sound was heard.
"You hear that don't you Hunter?" Mark asked. The barking became louder and so did the sound of yelling, Shawn's yelling. A small figure from another hallway began rapidly approaching them. "Hunter look!"
Hunter turned to see something that in any other situation he would have found hilarious. Shawn was still being chased by the four guard dogs that showed no signs of slowing down, and Jeff was still hanging on to the chains which meant he was being dragged across the floor by the dogs. Hunter went to move out of the way, so the dogs wouldn't hit him, but something went wrong.
Shawn didn't have time to make any kind of stupid remark as he turned off onto another hall with two of the dogs still following him. However, the other two were moving toward Hunter, preparing to chase him like they had Shawn. The game had no other choice, but to take off running down the hall. "Mark what the hell man! I thought you said they're only supposed to go after Shawn!"
Realization spread across Mark's face when he figured out what happened. He took off running after Hunter and shouted. "I must have ordered the DX attack dogs instead! Those are trained to attack all members of DX past or present! Sorry bout that!"
All Hunter could do was growl. He glanced back and saw Jeff still lying on the ground where the dogs had split up. "Mark! Radio one of the others to get Jeff! I'll find a way to get rid of the dogs!"
"Roger that Hunter!" Mark stopped running turned to go back to where Jeff had been laid out by the dogs, only to find that the younger Hardy had disappered. "Where the hell could he have gone?"
Randy and John had made were still searching the factory for any traces of the heartbreak kid, but at the moment couldn't find anything. "I wonder where they keep all of the chocolate in this place anyway?" Randy asked.
"Do you honestly think that they keep some of the chocolate after they make it?" John replied.
Randy shrugged and kept walking, "I mean of course they deliver most of it, but don't you think they keep some of it too?"
"And what do they keep it in Randy?"
"The chocolate safe." Randy said simply.
John couldn't help but chuckle, "The what?"
Randy pointed to a huge bolted metal door that had a sign above it that said 'THE CHOCOLATE SAFE'. "See I told you that they had to keep it somewhere." He said smugly.
John stared in shock he really couldn't believe that there was an entire safe filled with chocolate, but that was giving him an idea. He grabbed his radio and tried to get Hunter. "Hunter! Come in! It's John."
Hunter grabbed his radio out of his jacket. He was really starting to wondered if these were really regular dogs. It didn't make sense that after 15 minutes of chasing him they weren't tired yet. "What is it?!"
John quirked his eyebrows at the sound of Hunter's voice. "Are you alright?"
"If you call being chased by four crazed dogs alright, then I'm doing great!"
John chuckled, "I told Mark to pay attention when he ordered those dogs, but anyway we know where Shawn's heading we found the chocolate safe."
"The chocolate what?"
"Yeah I couldn't believe it either. We're at the end of the factory get here as soon as possible. We'll lock you in there and then we'll hide. That'll get rid of the dogs and you'll be in a perfect position to catch Shawn."
"Hmmm...it's worth a shot. I'll be there in five minutes, get the door open for me. Hunter out."
John nodded at Randy and they both went over to the heavy metal door and began to pull it open. No sooner did they have it open that they heard sound of barking dogs and jumped to either side of the door as Hunter ran inside. The dogs froze in their tracks and started barking at Hunter, who lay safe in one of the huge piles of chocolate. "Close the door guys!" Hunter shouted.
The two nodded and closed the door leaving Hunter alone with the chocolate. "It's about time you got here Hunt!" A familiar voice said from under some chocolate. Hunter couldn't believe it as Shawn crawled out from beneath the pile of chocolate he was hiding under.
"How the hell did you get in here?! And where's the dogs?" Hunter asked.
Shawn whistled and the two dogs popped up as well, wagging their tails obediently. "Not even dogs can resist me!" He said proudly.
Hunter snorted, "What'd you do? Offer them a lifetime supply of dog treats?"
Shawn cocked his head to the side, "How did you know? Well anyway buddy your little plan has failed all of this wonderful chocolate is coming with me!"
"Oh please Shawn. We're in a completely sealed room filled wall to wall with chocolate how exactly are you going to get away with all of this?"
"You know that's a very good question Hunter and I'd be glad to show you the answer." Shawn then walked over to the far side of the room and banged on the wall. Suddenly a loud humming sound filled the room and pieces of the chocolate began to disappear.
"What the hell did you do Shawn?!" Hunter shouted angrily.
"It's just the new state of the art industrial vacuum I got for this very occasion. It'll suck up just about anything."
Hunter couldn't believe it. By now half the room was empty. He knew there was a hose sucking up the chocolate he just had to find the hole where hose was and plug it up somehow. He waded over to where Shawn stood and began digging through the chocolate trying to find any kind of hole. He finally found it at the base of the wall. The hose was big, easily the size of a garbage can opening. He tried to think of something he could plug it with.
"It's no use Hunter! Just admit that I won for once." Shawn said.
Hunter looked at him then his sledgehammer when an idea hit him. 'Just because this end of the hose is that big, it doesn't mean the whole this is that size.' He kissed his sledgehammer before throwing into the the hose. His theory was right when slowly the suction from the hose stopped. "Your outta luck now Shawn. You may have your chocolate, but your stuck in here with me remember."
Shawn glared at him. "Your no fun Hunter, but I'm definitely getting my chocolate. You may want to stand back. Shawn banged on the wall again before running to the opposite side of the room. Hunter had barely made it before a big explosion tore out the wall.
Hunter staggered up and looked at what was now in the spot of where the wall used to be."What the hell?!" Outside in a huge dump truck sat Jeff and Punk. Rey and Glen were the ones manning the hose.
Shawn ran outside and jumped in the truck as did Rey and Glen. "Sorry Hunter, but I told you I'd get my chocolate didn't I?!" Jeff pulled off after that leaving a half destroyed factory and eight extremely pissed off superstars in their wake.
By now everyone had regrouped and were it what was left of the chocolate safe. It was Matt who spoke first, "What do we do now? He got away with the chocolate."
Randy spoke next, "I don't want to say it guys but I think we..." Hunter's raised hand cut him off.
"Don't even say we've failed Randy. It ain't over till it's over, and trust me this is far from over." Hunter said.
"Hunter man he has the chocolate. What else can we do?" John asked.
Mark answered, "Shawn likes being in the center of attention we all know that. He's gonna wait till the show to do anything with that chocolate and that's where we finally end this."
Hunter turned and faced his team, "This is it guys. The last plan. Let operation: Keep Shawn from eating the chocolate and destroying an arena commence!"
What will Shawn do now that he has his chocolate? Where is he getting all of those crazy gadgets from? What will Hunter's final plan be? Can they really break Shawn addiction? Will there be anymore crazed guard dogs? Hopefully not, but everything else we be answered for sure in the final chapter!!
