Chapter Six - Working with Children and Animals
The IMPACT Zone, Universal Studios, Orlando, FL at 10am:
DX went down to Orlando with Kevin Nash to see what had happened to the wrestlers down there for themselves. Just like Big Kev said nearly all the roster was asleep in the IMPACT Zone.
"Punk certainly didn't waste anytime," Hunter said as Shawn sprinkled water on all the wrestlers waking them up.
"Where the Hell have you been?" came a familiar voice and Nash looked up to see Jeff Jarrett heading towards him with Jim Cornette, "We've got a disaster on our hands and your hanging out with your Kilq buddies?"
"They're here to help," Kevin Nash said.
"Oh yeah how by crotch-chopping over all the sleeping bodies?" Jim Cornette said sarcastically and Jeff Jarrett tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around and saw all the wrestlers waking up as HBK sprinkled water on them, "How's he doing that?" Jim Cornette said amazed.
"He's got the magic touch," Hunter said.
"Magic has nothing to do with it, it's the Anointing of God it breaks the yoke of the curse that's been put on them," Shawn explained and Jarrett frowned at him.
"Curse, what are you talking about Shawn?" he asked.
"I don't want to go into details but I assure you it won't happen again, come on Hunter let's go," Shawn said turning to leave as the TNA roster sprung back up to life.
"Shawn!" called the voice of Angelina Love and HBK turned to see her running towards him.
"You okay Angie?" Kevin Nash asked.
"Yeah I'm fine its Velvet I'm worried about, she isn't here and I bet I know who she's with," Angelina Love said obviously rattled, "You've got to get CM Punk to see a doctor there's something seriously wrong with him,"
"CM Punk, what did he do?" Jim Cornette asked.
"Are you kidding he's the one who put everyone to sleep including me!" Angelina Love said and Cornette and Jarrett gasped.
"What?" they said at the same-time and Shawn pulled Angelina Love away from them to one side.
"Okay Angelina calm down, you don't wanna freak out your bosses they'll think that Hunter and I had something to do with this," Shawn said.
"Well maybe freaking out is the answer, Punk's got some sort of hypnotic power and it's turning him into a real jerk!" Angelina Love said, "You've got to do something, get the ARK Angels they'll know what to do,"
"The ARK Angels are a little busy getting ready for school, I'm gonna take care of this okay?" Shawn assured Angelina.
"Okay but FYI I don't think that Kiss of Life thing is gonna work on Punk," she replied and headed back into the IMPACT Zone where Jarrett and Cornette followed her to ask her what happened with Punk.
"The sooner we get a hold on this the better, what Punk did could potentially undo all the progress we've made building the bridges between the WWE and TNA," Shawn said.
"You'll put in a good word for us won't you Big Kev?" Hunter asked Nash slapping him on the shoulder.
"Sure will buddy just make sure you straighten that kid out tonight because if he pulls this crap again I might have to put him to sleep - permanently," Nash warned them and Shawn and Hunter nodded knowing how fortunate Punk was that the TNA roster had woken up.
Back in Connecticut, Amy and Joanie took the ARK Angels shopping for new school clothes in downtown Greenwich. Cheyenne was very happy about it but LC had less than flattering things to say about spending her Saturday shopping for school clothes.
"Why on Earth would I need to buy clothes for school? I can't dress for school unless you buy me a giant board that says "School sucks!" on it, I could wear that in fact I could make that myself and wear it on Monday!" LC said and Joanie quieted her down.
"Calm down LC you're getting new school clothes and that's it, I want you to start thinking about school in a more positive light," Joanie said as the ARK Angels were ushered through the maze that was children's department of the big clothing store downtown.
"Mom I'm not gonna get kicked out of Waterside," LC said, "Why would I run the risk of being separated from Cameron and Cheyenne?"
"Well you're on thin ice with Mr. Applebee as it is but if he thinks you're turning over a new leaf maybe he'll go easy on you. Here how about this?" Joanie said holding a grey polyester sweater with a pink trim around the neck.
LC looked at the sweater then back at her mom, "Hello I'm LC I don't believe we've met," she said holding out her hand for her mom to shake.
"I mean it LC I think a wardrobe change is necessary to get Mr. Applebee off your back," Joanie said holding onto the sweater.
"You can't possibly expect me to wear that?" LC said applauded as her mother began to pick out sweaters similar to the grey one, "Where are you going with those?" she asked Joanie as her mother picked up a pair of Mary Jane's.
"The big black boots are gonna stay in the closet until winter," Joanie said and LC's mouth dropped.
"Who are you?" she asked thinking her mother had lost her mind. "Do you see what she's doing to me?" LC asked Cameron shoving him on the shoulder which was sporting a brand new backpack.
"Just humor her LC, she's just a little nervous. Give it a week she won't even know if you're wearing a grocery bag to school let alone Mary Jane's," Cameron said turning his nose up at the patent black shoes with a strap going across and Amy nodded.
"I guess you're right," LC said calming down, "Hey mom what about this pleated skirt?" she said running up to Joanie with a skirt that was definitely not her style but Joanie loved it.
"I'm glad you're willing to give this new look a try LC," Joanie said and LC nodded with a plastic smile then turned around to Cameron and stuck her fingers down her throat making Cameron, Cheyenne and Amy laugh.
With a few new sweaters for Cameron, a handful of new dresses for Cheyenne and a whole new wardrobe for LC the shopping trip was more or less done, now the ARK Angels could do what they really wanted to do and that was get ready to go to Washington D.C for the RAW house show. As everyone headed towards the DX Machine Amy noticed a limo on the other side of the road, it was the second time she'd seen one near them this week.
"You see that limo over there you guys?" she asked the ARK Angels and they turned to see what Amy was looking at, "I think I've seen it before,"
"How can you tell all limos look the same, apart from ours which has DX spray-painted on the side," LC said.
"Well let's get a better look at it," Cameron said heading towards the limo when it suddenly pulled away before he could get closer to it. He checked out the license plate as it rolled out, it was a State of Florida plate and it said 'MCMAHON'.
"Looks like we're being watched by Vince McMahon mom," Cameron said to Amy who shook her head.
"Your father's not gonna like that," she said to Cameron and Cheyenne.
"And I don't think your father's gonna like it either," Joanie said to LC.
"Don't worry we're on our guard, whatever Vince McMahon wants I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later," Cameron said.
"Uh-huh," Amy and Joanie said at the same-time, they preferred never as opposed to sooner or later.
RAW house show, Washington, D.C at 8pm:
Tonight was a special night for Dave Batista, he was wrestling in his home town and his fans were out in force to cheer on their hero. He was going on in the main event against Kofi Kingston in what promised to be a very faced-paced and thrilling match-up. The former World Champion had been playing a disappearing act on his friends lately though; usually he'd hang out with John Cena, Mickie James, Cryme Tyme and Rey Mysterio during the week between shows but he'd been leaving immediately after his matches. There was something else too, he never said a word to anyone and he had a permanent scowl on his face. If you got close enough to him and said "Hello" he'd get up and walk away. Something was up and John Cena was the first to notice it and he brought it to Hunter's attention once again. DX had other things on their mind though, this thing with Punk was becoming a problem. They confronted him about what happened at the IMPACT Zone and he apologized saying he got carried away with his new power and that it wouldn't happen again. The problem was Shawn didn't believe him and Punk seemed thrilled by this new power he had which didn't assure Shawn that he was in any hurry to stop using it. To top it off the man looked terrible.
"I thought you said you were going to get some rest?" Shawn asked him just before he headed out for his match against JBL.
"Velvet kept me up, I swear that girl runs on batteries," Punk said and Shawn covered his ears.
"Whoa too much information, I don't wanna hear about you and your girlfriend's nocturnal activities," Shawn said.
"I do, make with the details," Hunter said to Punk and Shawn slapped him on the shoulder, "What?"
"Will you be serious?" Shawn said.
"Look what's the problem, as long as the guy stays out of trouble and wrestles a decent match it'll be fine," Hunter said.
"Did you get a good look at his face? The man looks like he hasn't slept in days," Shawn said.
"Well if his match sucks we'll pull him up on it," Hunter said as John Cena approached him.
"Guys I need to talk to you about Dave," he said.
"What about him he should be in a great mood this is his hometown," Hunter said.
"Well he's not he's in a really weird mood and he's been like this all week, I think you guys should talk to him and find out what's going on," John Cena said.
"We can't right now CM Punk is facing JBL," Hunter said as he and Shawn watched the match from the gorilla position.
In the ring JBL taunted CM Punk but he didn't respond in the usual way despite the fans chanting his name over and over again. Punk just stood there letting JBL talk trash to him, the fans thought he was building to something and he was but not what they expected. He simply leaned forward and opened his mouth.
"Go to sleep," he said and JBL hit the mat flat on his back fast asleep.
Punk covered him for the 1-2-3 and the match was over.
"Here is your winner - CM Punk!" Lillian Garcia announced a little puzzled by what happened, it looked like JBL just fell asleep and the EMTs quickly ran to the ring to help JBL to the back thinking he had suffered some sort of concussion. When they brought him to the back Shawn pushed them away and sprinkled some water on JBL and revived him.
"What the Hell happened why am I back here?" JBL asked and Shawn grabbed Punk when he made his way back through the curtain.
"Did you see that I won that match in like five seconds that's got to be some kind of a record right?" CM Punk said and Hunter looked at him in disgust while JBL couldn't believe what he just heard.
"You're actually proud of that catastrophe?" Hunter asked Punk incredulous of his attitude, "You just ripped off the fans,"
"What the difference, they only want to see Batista maul another wrestler anyway," CM Punk said casually, "Shawn you can let go of me now," Punk said as HBK still had him by the arm, the very arm that was causing all the problems.
"You're gonna go back out there and put on a decent match," Shawn said feeling something happening between him and Punk, it was like there was something attached to Punk's left arm and even though he couldn't see it he could feel it.
"Okay I'll go back out there now let go of my arm," Punk said fighting Shawn off but HBK wouldn't let go, he could feel something behind drawn out of Punk and he wouldn't let go until whatever it was left his body. Suddenly JBL grabbed Punk by his other arm and put him in a headlock.
"Pin me in 5 seconds will you? I don't know how you did it but let's see you try that a second time!" he growled and pulled CM Punk out to the ring by his neck. The fans cheered as JBL and Punk came out, they wanted a rematch almost as badly as JBL did and though the match they put on was pretty decent Shawn was more concerned with what he had felt when he laid hands on CM Punk. As soon as Punk came back through the curtain Shawn was gonna lay hands on him again, that however would be easier said than done as Punk was in no mood for anyone to put their hands on him right now. He headed straight for the locker room and was nearly knocked over by Batista who bolted out heading for the ring for the main event. The noise as he came out was deafening and everyone gathered around the gorilla position to watch this exciting main event while Shawn knocked on the locker room door where CM Punk had locked himself in.
"Punk come out here I want to talk to you," Shawn said banging on the door.
"You got your match what more do you want from me?" CM Punk said rubbing his left arm wondering what was going on with it, his arm was bothering him more than the beating he just got from JBL.
"Is your left arm still feeling numb?" Shawn asked him through the door.
"Yeah it is," Punk replied trying to shake the feeling back into his arm.
"Look Punk I think I know why that is, if you open the door I can help you," Shawn said.
"Really?" Punk said looking up at the door.
"Yeah really, just open the door," Shawn said speaking spiritually as-well as literally.
"Shawn come quick!" Hunter said pulling Shawn away from the locker room door and over to the gorilla position where the other wrestlers were watching in shock as Batista tore Kofi Kingston limb from limb. Kofi didn't even have a chance to change out of his ring attire; Batista ripped the Jamaican inspired sweat suit from his body and proceeded to beat him senseless before the bell even rang. The referee quickly disqualified Batista and the other referees came down to pull Batista off Kofi but he just batted them away like flies. The rest of the locker room had seen enough and they piled into the ring protecting Kofi Kingston from anymore blows from Batista. Eventually Dave stormed to the back, walking straight passed Shawn and Hunter looking every bit like the Animal that he was billed to be. The RAW Superstars escorted Kofi Kingston back to the ring while an arena full of Batista fans sat in total shock over what their hero had just done to the young Jamaican wrestler.
The ARK Angels had been watching ringside with Amy and Joanie who were in disguise, they came to the back to make sure Kofi Kingston was alright and to find out what on Earth had gotten into Batista.
"Is it just me or was that not the most dramatic heel turn in WWE history?" Joanie said but DX shook their heads.
"We didn't plan that," Hunter said while Amy attended to Kofi Kingston, a few minutes later he was feeling a lot better.
"What's that?" Kofi asked her as she took a small container out of her bag.
"It's a balm of Gilead, God gave it to me to heal wounds," Amy replied, "Do you mind if I rub some on you?"
"Please anything to stop the pain," Kofi said wincing and Amy rubbed the balm all over his body, the pain instantly left him and he was feeling right as rain, "Thank you woman of God," he said giving Amy a kiss on the cheek.
"You're welcome Kofi," she said.
"If you don't mind I'm gonna get out of here now boss," Kofi said to Shawn and Hunter who nodded.
"Of course, we'll talk to Dave and make sure he apologizes to you for his behavior," Shawn said.
"I always knew Dave was tough but that man in the ring with me tonight was not human," Kofi said before thanking everyone for their help and leaving the arena.
"Where'd you get that balm?" Shawn asked Amy.
"It was in my bag, God must have added it to my collection," Amy said, now she had a vile of anointing oil, a Tallit and the Balm of Gilead that could heal all wounds.
"Do you think it would work on Punk's arm?" Shawn asked her but Amy shook her head.
"It heals wounds it doesn't cast out demons," Amy said and Shawn sighed.
"I was so close, I could feel something attached to his left arm and then Dave went nuts and now Punk's gone home," Shawn said frustrated.
"Probably with the demon still attached to his left arm," Amy said.
"I'm so sorry Amy," Shawn said but Amy smiled at him and rubbed his back lovingly.
"It wasn't your fault sweetie but I'm pretty sure you've got two demons to exorcise now," Amy said.
"You think that thing with Dave was demonic?" Shawn asked his wife.
"I'll check with Trish and Randy when they come back from their honeymoon but I'm pretty sure Batista is having more than just a really bad week," Amy said handing Shawn the Balm of Gilead, "Take this, I have a feeling you're going to need it," she said and Shawn looked down at the little tin hoping Amy wasn't right while Cameron pulled on her arm.
"Do you think we should tell dad that Vince McMahon is following us around?" Cameron asked her.
"One thing at a time Cameron, one thing at a time," Amy replied.
