Chapter Twenty Two - Snow Day
Back at the Sandbox Randy and Trish stayed over to give the family the lowdown on what was going on right now and what would go on tomorrow.
"Terror, terror and more terror," Trish said and Joanie rolled her eyes.
"Don't sugarcoat it or anything Trish," she said.
"Sorry Joanie I don't have time to mince words I have to let you guys know what's going to happen straight up while I still can," Trish said and Amy frowned.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked Trish.
"I can't go into details otherwise you're all gonna freak out," Trish said, "but soon I'm not going to be able to tell you the Truth,"
"Why not, we want the details?" Hunter said.
"She'd give you the details if she could," Randy said.
"Yes I could give you the details but I choose not to," Trish said, "but I can tell you this much, a demonic alliance has just been formed between CM Punk and Batista,"
"What?" Amy said in shock, "Oh I've had enough of this I'm going to cast those demons out right now!" she said getting out of her bed and Hunter frowned at her.
"You gonna go in your nightdress and bed slippers?" he asked her and Trish blocked her way to the closet.
"Amy what did I tell you about getting involved in this thing? I told you to let Shawn and the ARK Angels take care of it," Trish said.
"Casting out demons is my specialty Trish and I think these two demons have been around for long enough," Amy said.
"You could have a PhD in Exorcism from Heaven and it wouldn't make a difference, get back in bed," Trish said pushing Amy gently back into the bed and Hunter raised a mischievous eyebrow.
"Why don't you get in with her Trish?" he said and Joanie slapped Hunter on the shoulder, "You could get in too," he said to her.
"And where would I sleep?" Shawn asked.
"On the floor with Randy of course while I set up the camcorder," Hunter said and Trish rolled her eyes at him.
"Shawn are you going to tell your wife what I told you or do you want me to continue to wrestle her to the bed?" Trish asked Shawn.
"The second thing you said!" Hunter said and Randy escorted him out of Amy and Shawn's bedroom and locked the door.
Shawn came over and sat next to Amy, "The reason I haven't been able to cast out the demons from Punk and Batista is because I have to wait for an angel," he explained.
"Oh," Amy said.
"And?" Trish said.
"Oh yeah and I can't cast the demons out in human form," Shawn added and Amy reflected on what her husband just told her while Hunter banged on the door.
"I'll behave guys can I come back in now?" he asked but everyone ignored him.
"Do you know who this angel is?" Amy asked Shawn.
"No," Shawn replied.
"And neither do I so don't ask," Trish said, "This is why I've been telling you to relax you can't help with this mission - at least not yet,"
"When will I be able to help?" Amy asked.
"Kind of towards the end," Trish said, "in the meantime Batista and Punk are going to raise as much Hell while they can for as long as they can starting tomorrow,"
"What are they going to do tomorrow?" Joanie asked Trish.
"Let me get Hunter he needs to hear this too," Trish said opening the bedroom door and she headed down to the foyer downstairs where Hunter was amusing himself in Aurora's windmill. She pulled on the windmill door but Hunter refused to open it, "Hunter open up and come back upstairs," she said pulling on the door.
"No, you don't want me to be part of the group so I'll just stay in my daughter's windmill," Hunter said and he noticed a Jeff Hardy doll and Triple H doll and smiled, "Now I finally get to put you in your place Jeff Hardy!" he said picking up the two dolls and having a wrestling match with them.
Trish sighed, "You don't seriously want me to get physical here do you?" Trish said.
"I asked you to get physical with Amy and you refused, excuse me for wanting a little girl-on-girl action to take my mind off all this drama at work!" Hunter said.
"Well I'll just go upstairs and get Aurora down here and you'll see a little girl go crazy on her father action how about that?" Trish said and Hunter jumped out of the windmill.
"I'm here, don't wake up Ro-Ro she'll make my eyelids stick together again!" Hunter said.
"I appreciate your humor Hunter but this is important," Trish said and Hunter shrugged.
"Its always important Trish but you guys always figure it out and everything ends up okay, I just can't get worried about Punk and Batista when you guys are on the case," Hunter said.
"I'm glad you feel that way Hunter I really am," Trish said patting Hunter on the back, "but don't think you're not an important part of the angelic team,"
Hunter huffed, "I'm the least angelic of you all," he said.
"Aren't you glad God doesn't play favorites?" Trish said.
"You mean God actually like me?" Hunter asked.
"Let's just say He's got His eye on you," Trish said.
"And I've got my eyes on Jericho, which is one more than he's got, ha-ha!" Hunter said going back into Shawn and Amy's room for a pre-emptive lowdown on tomorrow's terrible turn of events.
Marriott Charlotte City Center, Charlotte, NC at 5pm:
CM Punk sat in a chair with his feet up on the bed counting money in his hands while Batista sat watching the news on the television.
"$5,000,000, not bad for one day," he said, "and we didn't even pay for this hotel room, isn't life sweet?"
Batista nodded and Punk turned his head towards the television set and watched the news with him:
"Witnesses say a giant dragon-like creature was circling the Charlotte city area scaring locals away while a man in a white mask robbed several banks taking up to $5 million dollars in cash. When the police arrived at the banks they found all the customers and staff fast asleep and they haven't been able to wake them up. Doctors are baffled but local residents can't help but wonder if this is the last we've seen of this masked man and his enormous pet dragon,"
"Ha-ha!" Punk laughed holding his sides, "they actually think my face is a mask!"
"Did you hear what they called me?" Batista roared angrily, "They'll pay for that,"
"All in good time my pet," CM Punk replied.
"What!" Batista snapped.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help myself," Punk said looking at the check-in list he stole from the reception desk before he told everyone to Go To Sleep. "According to this the WWE Superstars should have checked in by now,"
"Maybe they got wise to us," Batista said and Punk screwed up the list in his hands angrily.
"Well they're not getting off that easy, come on let's go," Punk said and Batista followed him to the lobby where people were passed out asleep.
Time Warner Cable Arena, 6pm:
Shawn and Hunter had asked the arena staff to let the fans in early while Trish explained to everyone what was going to happen tonight. After seeing what CM Punk and Batista did downtown the wrestlers were apprehensive about going outside but Jeff assured them that everything was going to be alright.
"Since Jeff is in the main event against MVP that will give him enough time to try and keep Punk back," Trish said.
"So its business as usual tonight guys, just go out there and give the fans the high quality of performance you always do, make them forget that there's a monster and a deranged hypnotist out there," Hunter said and the wrestlers nodded.
"I'm going out there now," Jeff said strapped Aurora to himself and heading for the roof.
"Go Aqua Libre and Hurricane Aurora!" Shelton cheered and the other Superstars gave their support to Jeff and Auora as they went to stick it to demonic menace that Punk and Batista had become once again.
Trish had explained that Batista was going to set the building on fire while the show was going on, in order to stop that from happening Jeff Hardy and Aurora Rose were going to have to work together. Just as the first match was starting Jeff saw the dragon coming towards the arena and CM Punk was on its back. He pressed Aurora close to his heart knowing he was going to need her more than ever before.
"Ready Ro-Ro?" he asked and Aurora laughed joyfully as always, "Okay let's fly!" he said and he jumped off the top of the Time Warner Cable Arena and soared into the air straight for Punk and Batista.
"Oh look at that DX have got a little hi-flying security to keep us away from the building," Punk said, "Well let's give them a run for their money Big Dave, fireball now!"
Batista let out a ball of fire in the direction of the arena but Jeff Hardy had anticipated that and he used his water power to call water from Lake Wylie nearby to extinguish the flames.
"Okay Ro-Ro make with the wind speed now!" Jeff Hardy said and Aurora waved her sterling silver rattle back and forth and a massive gale force wind hit Batista knocking him back and he was unable to fly towards Jeff and Aurora, "Keep it coming Ro-Ro!" Jeff said encouraging the youngest ARK Angel to use all of her strength to keep Batista back.
"How is he doing that?" CM Punk said trying to hold onto Batista, "It must be that baby that's attached to him,"
As much as Batista tried he couldn't fly forward, Jeff and Aurora had definitely gotten the better of him once again, "Okay now Aurora make with the hailstones," Jeff said and Aurora rained down hailstones on Batista and Punk but they weren't very big, "giant hailstones!" Jeff added and Aurora rained down giant hailstones on Batista and Punk. One hit Punk right in the head and knocked him off Batista's back right into Lake Wylie. "Excellent Aurora, now freeze the lake quickly!"
Aurora caused Lake Wylie to freeze over trapping CM Punk below.
"Batista save me!" Punk called up to the dragon and Batista swooped down onto the iced over lake and smashed the surface of it with his tail freeing Punk and he climbed back onto Batista's back.
Jeff and Aurora flew over to them and Punk looked at them furiously, "Still want some more? Alright," Jeff said and he pulled out another one of his little aluminum foil creatures and dropped it into the iced over lake.
Batista started to panic, "What's wrong?" Punk asked him as he tried to fly away but the wind was still blowing pretty hard. The ice started to rise up in the form of a dinosaur looking creature and the more Jeff zoned in on it the bigger it got, it looked like a huge pterodactyl only it was made of ice, "What the fudge is that?" Punk cried.
"This is Petey my pet pterodactyl," Jeff said, "Petey why don't you introduce yourself to Punk and Batista?"
"No that's really okay," Punk said knowing by the sheer size of this creature that nothing from it could be good and Batista was still trying to fly away, soon flying was going to be even more difficult as Petey blasted them both with ice from its mouth turning Batista's wings to ice and causing the huge monster to sink.
"Fireball now!" Punk said to Batista but he was starting to freeze too and he wouldn't be able to shout out commands for much longer. Batista heard him though and he hit Petey with a huge fireball.
"Move Petey!" Jeff said and Petey went back into the water, Jeff hadn't had time to train him in aerial combat, fortunately Aurora knew a thing or two about taking down bad guys from the air, "Finish the job Aurora," he said to her and she made it snow heavily on Batista and Punk who urged Batista to get as far away from Aurora and Jeff as possible but he was Hell bent on revenge.
"Not now!" Punk said through frozen lips and Dave flew away as fast as he could while Aurora and Jeff went back to the Time Warner Cable Arena so Jeff could wrestle in the main event. Jeff felt like he'd already been in the fight of his life and he hoped MVP would go easy on him: He didn't.
After the show the fans left the building and were greeted by six inches of snow, hail and gale force winds wondering what on Earth had happened during the two hours that they had been inside. The wrestlers were just happy that as long as the weather was cold they would be alright.
"How long will it stay like this?" Hunter asked Trish.
"For around 24 hours, Aurora couldn't cause a permanent shift in the weather it would upset the climatic balance of the entire world," Trish said as Shawn finished his conversation with Ric Flair on the phone.
"I told Ric what was going on and he thinks I've suffered a concussion," Shawn said.
"So he's okay with us all going down there tonight?" Hunter said and Shawn nodded, "That's Ric, the ultimate team player,"
"So we're not checking into a hotel?" MVP said and Trish shook her head.
"Its not safe for you guys to stay anywhere in the city, Ric Flair's house is the best place and it's nearby," Trish said, "You guys better huddle together its pretty cold out there,"
"I can't wait to get into my rental car," Shelton Benjamin said as the wrestlers headed to the exit. When they got outside and saw the traffic lining up on the road getting in his car didn't seem like such a good idea after all.
"I'm sorry guys this is the side effect of Aurora's counter attack, in fact all method of travel except for one has been adversely affected by the fight with Punk and Batista," Trish said.
"And what's that?" Brian Kendrick asked wrapping up in his leather jacket while Zek was trembling.
"By foot," Trish replied but the wrestlers didn't complain.
"Better by foot than being asleep or burned alive," Edge said and the other wrestlers nodded and wrapped up as best they could.
"Is that a fur coat?" Hunter asked MVP.
"Hey I pack for all weather conditions, if ya'll were as intelligent as me you would all have fur coats too," MVP said strutting ahead while the other wrestlers clamored together.
Randy Orton put his arms around Trish and that was enough to warm her right up on the inside and the outside.
"I'm sure this weather is right up your alley Ro-Ro," Hunter said to his daughter who was sleeping contently in her DX carrier while it continued to snow and hail on everyone as they headed to Ric Flair's house.
"Should we tell MVP that Ric Flair's house is in this direction?" Edge asked everyone who noticed that MVP had strutted away in the wrong direction.
"Nah," everyone said unanimously.
"He said he was an intelligent guy I'm sure he'll figure it out," Carlito said wrapping his arms around his brother and trudging through the snow with the other wrestlers who walked arm-in-arm.
Jeff looked over at Edge feeling a sudden whoosh of heat coming from his body, "What's going on with you?" Jeff asked Edge who stopped and rubbed his tattoo.
"I think the heat is coming from my tattoo," Edge said smiling and all the wrestlers suddenly felt the heat coming from him too and they rushed over to him, "Hey not so close, whose hand was that?" he said annoyed.
"My bad," Hunter said cozying up to Edge with the other wrestlers while Aurora slept soundly somewhere between fire and ice.
