Chapter Eighteen - Sea Monster
Edge and Angelina Love were chilling out on the beach down in Tampa, usually Edge would go and see Angie in Orlando but because of Punk's bizarre actions in the IMPACT Zone that was no longer possible. Still Angelina didn't mind driving an hour on the I-4 to get to Tampa and when she came rolling up to Edge's house on her motorcycle the World Champion's face brightened up.
Tampa Bay, Florida at 2pm:
As the waves gently washed back and forth over their bare feet they talked about the craziness that was going on in the wresting world lately on account of Batista and CM Punk.
"Did DX have to pay out a lot for the Amway Arena fire?" Angelina asked Edge.
"After the investigation it was impossible to pin the blame on DX or the WWE so they didn't have to pay a thing but they decided to help with the rebuilding of the arena out of the goodness of their hearts," Edge said.
"And Batista started the fire?" Angelina asked and Edge shook his head.
"Nobody actually saw him do it but Trish said it was him in dragon form," Edge said and Angelina's mouth dropped open.
"Dragon form?" she said in disbelief and Edge nodded, he could hardly believe it himself.
"Everybody was outta there in time thanks to Trish, she knew just how long to hold Batista off for. I tell you Angie I feel like this is all a dream, I keep waiting to wake up," Edge said.
"Don't talk about dreams," Angelina said putting her hand up, "I haven't been sleeping too good. Everytime I close my eyes I think I'm never gonna wake up,"
"Because Punk made you Go to Sleep?" Edge asked and Angelina shuddered.
"Don't even say those words, that guy has problems. I'm on the phone with Velvet constantly because that's the only way he can't get through to her. I don't want Punk anywhere near her I don't trust him around her at all," Velvet said leaning back on her elbows while Edge rested his hand on her knee.
"I don't blame you," he said.
"I was talking to Homicide today and we never talk but he told me that Punk had no intention of waking any of the TNA wrestlers up after he put them to sleep," Angelina said and Edge raised his eyebrow in shock.
"What?" he asked.
"Yeah, he said if TNA went out of business then Joe and Homicide could come and work for the WWE," Angelina said and Edge was speechless.
"Jeff said that Chris Jericho is involved some how, I wonder where he's going with this," Edge thought.
"Well he sure did a number on Brie and Brianna, I bet they're both wishing they never met the guy, especially Brianna," Angelina said.
"I always knew Jericho was a little wacky but I didn't know he could be this dangerous," Edge said.
"Velvet doesn't care how dangerous Jericho is she wants to get back at him in the worst way for what he did to Punk and I'm sure if Joe and Homicide knew that Jericho was involved they'd want a piece of him too," Angelina said and Edge wrapped his arm around her laying closer to the sand.
"Well I'm sure whatever happens the ARK Angels will get to the bottom of it," Edge said as Angelina relaxed into his arms.
"Is it true that LC is Jericho's daughter?" Angelina asked and Edge nodded, "Poor little angel," she said shaking her head, "Imagine having that man's DNA running through you,"
"Especially when you've got Triple H's DNA in there too giving Jericho's DNA a hard time," Edge joked.
"How did that happen?" Angelina asked.
"Chyna slept with Jericho after she broke up with Hunter who she was seeing up until then. When LC was conceived their sperm wrestled to fertilize the egg and they both got through," Edge said and Angelina gasped, "I know its unbelievable but it's what the doctors said, it explains so much about that little girl,"
"Well if it's possible I think LC has got the best of both worlds," Angelina said.
"It would be best for all of us if those two worlds are kept apart, Hunter and Jericho can't stand each other," Edge said and Angelina nodded.
"I know if I was Hunter and I knew Jericho was infecting my roster with some kind of ink demon I'd kick his butt all over town!" Angelina said raising her knee and jerking it up to illustrate her point, "That man is a disgrace to all things Canadian,"
"Speaking of Canada when are you going to come with me to see my mom again? She really misses you," Edge said stroking Angelina's knee as she rested it back down on the sand.
"She does?" Angelina asked.
"Yeah she asks about you all the time," Edge said, "she really likes you,"
"I like her too, not as much as I like you of course." Angelina said sweetly.
"Yeah that would be weird," Edge replied.
"Would it be okay if I came over tomorrow?" Angelina asked stroking Edge's ear fondly and Edge smiled.
"I'll let her know so she can cook your favorite - tuna casserole," Edge said and Angelina groaned hungrily.
"Wasn't that Amy's favorite as-well?" Angelina said.
"Amy's six months pregnant, everything's her favorite," Edge said and Angelina laughed before they kissed each other passionately on the sand. Edge laid Angelina down and they deepened the kiss, a few moments later Angelina opened her eyes and looked up seeing something huge circling in the sky above. She broke the kiss and called attention to it.
"What is that?" she asked Edge looking up and Edge turned around and looked up seeing what looked like a huge bird in the sky, a huge bird with incredibly large wings and a tail.
"I don't know," Edge said getting to his feet and looking up into the sky at the big creature.
"You know this might sound crazy but that thing looks like a dragon," Angelina said scratching her chin thoughtfully.
"A dragon?" Edge said and the creature let out a screech that caused everyone on the beach including Angelina and Edge to cover their ears.
"It sure sounds like a dragon!" Angelina said as the creature came closer to the beach and swept over the heads of the people on it and they screamed and ran away. As it came closer Edge got a better look at it. It was no bird; it had different colored scales, claws, two enormous wings and a tail longer than an elephant's trunk. Edge was sure he had seen this creature before then an image of Batista's tattoo popped into his head and his eyes widened in shock.
"It couldn't be?" he said to himself as Angelina clung to his arm.
"Couldn't be what?" she said watching the creature flying low in the air around them.
"Batista!" Edge yelled out and the dragon stopped in mid-air and looked down at him. Edge clutched his heart which was pounding in his chest, it seemed the impossible had become a reality and Batista had become the dragon tattooed on his back. The dragon screeched again and Edge put Angelina behind him protectively, "We gotta go," he said backing up to the top of the beach.
"Did you say Batista?" Angelina said as Edge hurried her away from the dragon.
"Come on we gotta go, on your motorcycle now!" Edge said picking up the pace trying to get Angelina as far away from the creature as possible, even if it meant getting on her motorcycle which was something he really didn't want to do.
The dragon could see them running, he hadn't taken his eyes off them and moments later he sped across the sky over to them, striking at them with his tail as they tried to get on the motorcycle. They ducked and the dragon missed them.
"That thing's trying to attack us!" Angelina said as the dragon flew over them.
"That thing is Dave Batista and if he's as tough as dragon as he is in the ring we're in trouble!" Edge said, "Come on let's go!" he said and they both got on the motorcycle in a hurry and rode off down the road away from the beach. The dragon hadn't lost sight of them; he circled and headed for them.
"He's coming right at us!" Angelina said looking back up in the sky and seeing the dragon closing in on them.
"Faster Angie, go faster!" Edge commanded and Angelina did just that but Batista was now on top of them and he hit Edge with his huge wing causing the motorcycle to rock back and forth.
"Edge!" Angelina cried out as the dragon tried to knock Edge off the motorcycle.
"Keep going!" Edge instructed Angelina but she was getting worried about him as the dragon kept on hitting him.
"Hold on Edge!" Angelina cried and she stopped suddenly and the dragon kept going on. She turned the bike around and went in the other direction outsmarting the dragon.
"Wait-a-go Angie!" Edge said liking his girlfriend's manoeuvres but his relief turned to dread as the dragon lifted Angelina off her motorcycle with its claws and carried her back over to the water.
"ARGHHH!" Angelina screamed as the dragon carried her off.
"Angie!" Edge cried and he got off the motorbike and ran after the dragon onto the sand running as fast as his legs would take him. He caught up with the dragon and grabbed onto its tail but with one mighty flick the dragon knocked him off and Edge went rolling over the sand while the dragon went higher into the air. The higher up the dragon went the lighter Angelina's head felt and when she looked down and realized how high up she was she screamed so loud the entire bay could hear her.
"Hold on Angie we're coming!" said a North Carolinian accent and Angelina tried to look around to put a face to a voice and in the near distance she saw the rainbow haired form of Jeff Hardy coming towards her and he appeared to have a baby strapped to his chest. It could only have been Hurricane Aurora, the youngest ARK Angel of the group who was just as aerial as Jeff Hardy was.
"Jeff, Aurora help me!" Angelina cried.
"We're on it!" Jeff replied his voice was much louder now that he was much closer and when he was close enough he got on Batista's back and reached for Angelina, "Grab onto my hand!" Jeff yelled and Edge looked up from the beach wondering who that person trying to rescue his girlfriend was.
"I can't reach you!" Angelina said reaching up to Jeff and Batista started to move around violently to get Jeff off his back.
"Quit it Dave, you're gonna make Angelina sick!" Jeff said not that Batista was particularly interested in Angelina Love's well-being right now.
Jeff got off Dave's back and went down to Angelina but he couldn't get her out of Batista's claws. She was crying because she was in so much pain from the tight grip Batista had her in. Jeff had to get the claws to open before Batista crushed Angelina's rib cage.
"Batista, listen to me man I know you hear me, open up you're gonna crush her to death!" Jeff said trying to reason with Batista again as Angelina tried to catch her breath, "This isn't you man, come on open your claws and let her go!" Jeff yelled but Batista batted him with one of his wings and blew fire at him. Then he started to shake Angelina back and forth violently and Edge watched in horror tears of rage filling his eyes but he wasn't the only one who was angry as Jeff Hardy jumped on Batista again.
"I said let her go!" he yelled and he bit down on Batista hard causing the dragon to cry out in pain and he opened his claws and Angelina fell all the way down through the sky to the water.
"Angie!" Edge cried and Jeff looked down and saw Angelina falling. He jumped off Batista's back into the sky and caught Angelina before she fell into the water. As he stood on the surface Edge flew across the sand into the water and grabbed Angelina from Jeff and she winced in pain from her bruised ribs.
"Wait Edge don't move or he'll come after her again," Jeff said looking up at the dragon knowing he was only seconds from making another malicious move.
"What are we gonna do?" Edge said frantically while tending to his girlfriend.
"Don't worry Rated R, Aqua Libre's gonna send this monster a little message," Jeff Hardy said and he looked down at Aurora, "Let's show him that two can play at that game," he said to her and Edge wondered what Jeff was talking about as he walked over the surface of the water, stood in the middle of it and dropped what looked like a aluminum foil dragon into the water. Soon the water started to move and a typhoon formed and rose high into the air. The typhoon started to change shape and Edge and Angelina watched in complete disbelief as the typhoon formed into a dragon made completely out of water. It rose high into the air flapping its water wings until it came eye-to-eye with Batista who didn't know what to make of this strange thing. Jeff shot up in the air with Aurora diverting Batista's attention if only for a little while, "Now blast him!" Jeff yelled at the water dragon and the creation blasted Batista with water straight from its mouth in one mighty shot, the power of the blast sent Batista flying backwards across the sky. The dragon angrily came back and charged for the water dragon but he went straight through him and came out the other side of it. Batista looked back confused wondering what was going on and the water dragon blasted him with another shot of water sending him reeling across the sky. At boiling point Batista blasted the water dragon with fire but it was quickly extinguished and had no affect on the water dragon at all. "Okay now finish the job!" Jeff told the water dragon and the creature took a deep breath and then exhaled, the air coming out of its mouth was like a mighty wind and it blew the dragon away from the beach, straight out of Tampa and maybe even Florida. "That'll do," Jeff said to the water dragon and he sent it back down into the water where it disappeared below the surface. When Jeff was sure that Batista was gone and wouldn't come back he descended to the ground to check on Edge and Angelina who were applauding loudly on the sand below.
"Aqua Libre!" they chanted together like wrestling fans, "Aqua Libre!"
Jeff took a bow and pointed to Aurora, "Don't thank me thank Aurora's imagination, she has the power to bring my Imag-i creations to life,"
"Thank you Ro-Ro!" Edge and Angelina said to Aurora who laughed merrily in response to their affection towards her, "What were you doing chasing Batista?" Edge asked Jeff.
"Trish told me to keep an eye on him and make sure that he didn't set anymore buildings on fire. We soon learned that when he's not setting things on fire he's attacking people so Aurora and I decided to try and keep him out of trouble altogether. As you can see it hasn't worked," Jeff said with a heavy sigh.
"I'm sure that water dragon scared the crap out of him," Edge said.
"All that means is that next time Batista attacks it won't be over water," Jeff said.
"Well can't you create one of those aluminum creatures on land?" Angelina asked holding her ribs.
"Anything we create won't be devastating enough to take Batista down over land, after all land isn't my strength," Jeff said, "We've been chasing Batista all week there's got to be a more effective way to take him down and cast out the demon that's controlling him,"
"Why don't we go to the Sandbox and ask the ARK Angels what they think? Plus I think I need Amy to rub some on that Balm of Gilead on Angelina's ribs and my shoulder too its killing me," Edge said holding it shoulder which was throbbing after Batista knocked him with his huge wing.
"I'll come with you, just as long as I can do the rubbing," Angelina said cheekily and she kissed Edge while Jeff unstrapped Aurora from her Rainbow carrier.
"What are you doing?" Edge asked as Jeff strapped Aurora to him.
"I'm not sure Aurora can carry all of us home so I'm gonna go by Atlantic while you guys go by air," Jeff said.
"By Atlantic you mean the actual Atlantic Ocean right?" Edge asked and Jeff nodded with a grin.
"It's the best way to travel," he said, "now you're gonna need something to jump up off to get airborne, I suggest you climb to the top of that lifeguard lookout post and go from there,"
Angelina and Edge ran over to the lifeguard lookout post, the lifeguard had long gone when Batista showed up. Angelina wrapped her arms around Edge and he jumped off the lifeguard lookout post and immediately took to the air while Jeff took to the water and headed northbound to the Sandbox. In a journey that normally would have taken 17 hours by car and 3 hours by plane Jeff Hardy, Edge, Angelina and Aurora arrived at the Sandbox just a little before three and Amy was more than happy to see them.
"You have visitors," Joanie said bringing them all up to Amy's room.
"Hey guys, what brings you to my neck of the woods?" Amy said sitting on her bed with her Bible open.
"I was wondering if you had some of that Balm of Gilead," Edge said coming over to her, "We had a run-in with Batista in Tampa, Angel pie's ribs are bruised and I hurt my shoulder,"
"Oh," Amy said making a sympathetic face, "I think Shawn's got it," she said looking in her bag next to her bed, "I thought he might need it more than me, well how do you like that?" she said pulling out another little tin with the Balm of Gilead inside with a smile, "Isn't God wonderful?"
"After what I saw today I'd say He was pretty awesome," Edge said as Amy rubbed some of the balm onto Angelina's ribs. Moments later she felt better and Amy started to do the same to Edge, after awhile she stopped.
"Oh, where are my manners Angelina would you like to do the honors?" she said handing the balm to Angelina but the Knockout shook her head.
"No, you have special hands Anointed Amy and my man deserves the best treatment God has to offer," Angelina said and Amy beamed.
"I love it when you come around," she said to Angelina Love who blew her a kiss which Edge caught and put in his pocket, "Hey that was mine," Amy said with faux annoyance and Jeff laughed.
"Just like old times," he said unstrapping Aurora from Edge and placing her on the bed next to Amy. "Is this your water?" Jeff asked Amy pointing to the bottle of water on the nightstand.
"Yeah," Amy replied.
"Can I have some, I need to rinse my mouth out after biting into that hard-as-Hell scaly dragon skin," Jeff said.
"Of course," Amy said and Jeff took the water into the bathroom and rinsed his mouth out with it knowing because it was Amy's water it would clear his mouth of all demonic infection. "How did it go with Batista today?" Amy asked him as she played with Aurora on the bed.
"Much better, Aqua Libre made a surprise appearance with a dragon of his own," Jeff said returning to the bedroom.
"Really?" Amy said impressed.
"It was a dragon made out of water and it kicked Batista's butt!" Angelina said still thrilled by what she had seen today.
"Could I borrow it?" Joanie asked from the doorway, "I need something to kick Chris Jericho's butt with,"
Edge and Angelina exchanged glances, "Is there anyone that Chris Jericho isn't on the bad side of right now?" Edge wondered.
"Yeah my daughter," Chyna said soberly and Edge and Angelina looked to her for more of an explanation, "Jericho's shown a new interest in LC and I'm worried that she's gonna get hurt,"
"Since when does Jericho care about LC?" Edge asked.
"That's exactly what I would like to know," Chyna said.
"He's coming to the children's concert on Friday and Hunter and Shawn are going to be there. It should be quite interesting," Amy said.
"Just remember to call the police ahead of time, better call the National Guard too just to be safe," Edge said as Amy rubbed a little more balm into his shoulder, "That feels great thanks Amy," Edge said circling his shoulder and it was as good as new.
"What's going on with your tattoo?" Angelina said noticing that Edge's sun tattoo was glowing and Amy, Jeff and Joanie came closer to him for a better look.
"It's moving," Amy said as the sun shone brightly on Edge's arm, "this is just like what happened when Shawn rubbed the Balm of Gilead on Randy Orton's shoulder and his razor tattoos came to life,"
"Wow, I wonder what your tattoo does baby," Angelina said to Edge touching the tattoo and it warmed her fingers.
"I have no idea," Edge said shaking his head in amazement that his tattoo had come to life.
"Whatever it does I have a feeling it won't be good for the first person to find out," Amy said rubbing her arm.
"I still think your tattoo is the coolest tattoo ever Big Red," Edge said and Amy smiled.
"Thank you Mr. Love," Amy said winking at Angelina Love and she blushed, to have Amy's respect was an honor that crossed the line between WWE Divas and TNA Knockouts, after all there was only one Queen of Xtreme and if it wasn't for Amy's pioneering efforts the Women's Division in TNA wouldn't be what it was today.
Jeff inspected Amy's tattoo from the side of the bed and agreed that it was pretty cool, then the green monster winked at him and he gasped.
"G'ah!" he cried and got to his feet and everyone looked at him wondering what was up, "sorry I thought Amy's tattoo winked at me," he said and everyone laughed at him.
He looked again at the tattoo and it appeared that it had all been in his head as it wasn't moving anymore, still Jeff couldn't help but wonder what the green meanie would do if it was alive being that it belonged to one of the most powerful women of God the wrestling world had ever known.
