Dawn Of The New Brood

This is my 1st wrestling fanfiction I've ever done. I've watched it for well over 9 years, personally loved the older stuff so I'm writing into more of those areas. I wanted to write something different from what I usually write for a change, try something new. Plus I loved The Brood, as most people I have my favourites and their one of mine. This is around 2001-2002 area, after Edge and Christian split up and the alliance had been tackled down. But with Christian still having his long hair : ) I don't own the people, just created the plot and what's in it, not what really happened in story lines.

A mysterious blood bath happens after one of Christians matches, he didn't do it but who did...? Return of The Brood? What's really happening and who's returned and why? And... Why are some people going missing?

Christian leaned forward in his seat and stared at the TV screen, he stared intensely as if scanning every detail that was on screen.

"Christian! Could you lean yourself back? Your heads blocking the view." Test almost instructed but laughed softly after the comment.

"Yea? What's with you?" Lance Storm add himself in. "It's just The Hardyz. We don't care about them or what they do."

"That's right, Sucka's!" Booker T nodded in agreement.

"Don't you think they're a little odd recently?" Christian question in a casual tone, eye's still on the screen. "I mean... Look at them. They disappeared into thin air like that and appear just the same."

"I guess..." Lance Storm sighed but possibly not in total agreement. "It was a surprise at the end of the last show when Jeff turned up late. He was supposed to be to 'sick' to be there."

"Yea, plus didn't that weird Matt Hardy save you on the stairs or something?" Test added. "Why'd he do that? He seriously dislikes you, Christian."

"I know. You got me. He was acting weird too." Christian replied, knowing that they must've heard from Jericho about the incident at the last show. Christian had done his best to avoid the guy for the rest of the evening but there was certain... Weird points. Like Christian could be walking around and turn his head for a second to just see Matt standing there and glaring at him with that creepy smirk. What was his problem? Christian didn't wait to see if the situations were taken any further and had walked off quickly. He still hated this place... It was just like the last one. Chilling areas and the feeling of being watched constantly. Plus what was with the whole Jeff turning up out of surprise? Matt showed no indication that Jeff was coming back at the last show but yet wasn't surprised to see him. The most creepiest part? Jeff seemed to have the whole creepy makeover that Matt had just gotten. Something wasn't right there... That wasn't the Jeff he was talking to last week. "Any reason as to why they've changed their clothes?"

"Nope." Lance Storm shrugged.

"Isn't that what they used to like wear and do when they were in that group?" Test pointed out. Test had been around at that time and era, would know.

"Yea... Come to think of it that is what I was trying to think of." Lance nodded in agreement, he must've watched WWF or something at that time period.

"Sucka's! Why the hell would you want to rewind back to that time? Should be going forward not back!" Booker T shot.

Christian listened to what they were saying but didn't care to make another comment. They continued to chat on between themselves but Christian didn't care to chip in. He just sat and watched the tag match they were currently in. Plus their match was going so great, to great? They weren't having to do the skills and insane stunts that they usually do, they were using more like pure strength... Where had they gotten such strength all of a sudden? Neither had gotten any bigger or had gotten anymore muscle.

He had to agree, their clothes had changed. Plus Jeff had resorted to just colouring his hair back to dark with the hint of blonde. Sadly... Others might not get where the clothes had come from but Christian knew, it was from The Brood. Jeff and Matt hadn't worn what himself and Edge had worn and didn't wear the glasses either. It was like The Brood version 2.0. And himself and Edge weren't involved in that parter.

Christian blew a heavy sigh of relief and scraped his loose blonde hair off his face. Happy to be out of sight now of the massive crowd.

The match hadn't gone nowhere near to what he wanted, he had been fighting Jeff Jarrett and the idiot had the nerve to try and cheat, again. With what? A guitar! What else? It hadn't been the first time and most likely wouldn't be the last. However that wasn't what had Christian really rallied up. The ref had his back turned and Jarrett ran to a corner and grabbed his guitar, most likely because he was losing the match. He was going to hit Christian with it until someone had grabbed it when Jarrett had it ready, hanging above his head and was about to bring it down. Jeff immediately let go of it in shock and spun around on his heel to reveal Jeff Hardy on his own, holding Jarrett's guitar and was still stunned when Jeff Hardy smacked him hard on the head with it. Jarrett just landed in the centre of the ring with a massive thump and wasn't moving. Well and truly enough Christian quickly got the pin and got the victory but his happiness did not last as his arm was raised by the ref in victory, he saw Jeff almost skipping backwards up the ramp with a massive smile on his face. Christian didn't return the smile, just frowned and his expression showed his confusion. Why did Jeff Hardy just help him out? He'd never helped him out. Plus that was not in the story line, Christian wasn't supposed to have any help. He hadn't wanted it, he loved being solo.

As Christian continued to walk out back, he couldn't wait to get to his dressing room and have a shower. As he walked through the corridors he spotted Jeff Hardy, he was now with his brother but they weren't alone. They had Shane nagging them to death on Jeff's little stunt, not finding it acceptable to break the story lines. The Hardyz had just sighed and turned around and said they'd do whatever they felt like whenever and that it was none of his business on what they did. That just got them more of a heated look and sharp words from Shane but they didn't look bothered in the least. Christian decided not to confront him, just get to his room and he'll be fine. Besides... Christian at this point where he felt like he was going to yell at Jeff into another dimension if he faced him again to soon. He shouldn't have been out there, Christian had insisted on having no help for the time being in his story lines and fights and that's just what he'd gotten from the people upstairs.

Christian reached his dressing room and let himself in but felt himself jump out of his skin when he saw that someone was in there. But the shock left just as quickly as it had come when he saw who it was.

"Hi, Christian." Lita welcomed, happy that Christian had finally decided to come back into his own dressing room. She had let herself in and sat herself on one of Christian's chairs.

"Lita? What do you want?" Christian frowned at her, not sharing the same happiness. "Haven't I been bothered enough by you people recently?"

"Nice to see you too." Lita replied in a sarcastic tone.

"What do you want?" Christian repeated himself. "Shouldn't you be with your friends or something?"

"Christian... We need to talk." Lita replied sternly.

"Talk, huh? And you couldn't do that with my older pain in the ass brother or the creepy interfering brothers?" Christian shot back at her. They weren't friends, why should he pretend it now?

"It's those 'creepy brothers' that I wanted to talk to you about." Lita stated.

"What about them? They've already been bothering me enough as it is." Christian grunted, he was annoyed that the two brothers had been butting in on what he was doing recently. He has had enough of the creepy turning up everywhere, the creepy smirks that seemed to be implanted on their faces and he didn't want their help!

"Matt saved your neck on those stairs." Lita pointed out bluntly.

"And I'm thankful for that part, I really am. But that gives them no right to be interfering in my matches and stuff. Don't suppose you know the reason for that, do you?" Christian replied in a ratty mood. He'd just wanted to go into the shower and have some peace and quiet, not talking about them more.

"I have no idea what that was all about. I have no idea what they're up to recently." Lita replied, almost in a sad tone of voice.

"Well no one knows them better than you, Lita." Christian reminded. "Is that what you wanted to talk to me about? Them and what they have and haven't been doing? Well, I can tell you right now I'm really not interested on what they're doing."

"Something's not right about them, Christian." Lita said in a stern voice and showed that she wasn't joking.

"Yea... So I've noticed. Before... They didn't care about my well being at all! In fact, if it was before I think Matt would've been the one to push me down the stairs, not help me."

"I'm being serious Christian!" Lita snapped in distress.

Christian blew a loud but giving in sigh, realising Lita was serious and she most likely wasn't going away till she had her say. He crashed himself down on his main sofa and sat there trying to figure out what he was going to say, he didn't hang with this girl much. "Alright... And you haven't tried talking to them?"

"Tried and failed, they virtually don't want me near them like usual." Lita roughly explained in a sad tone. "First they don't tell me their leaving and then they came back claiming that they were just 'sick' and now they're acting beyond weird."

Christian nodded, taking in what she was saying. It had then just hit him, himself and Jeff had the same feelings and such before he went missing and came back. All of this could be connected to him somehow... Even though he was mad at Jeff's interference and creepiness that they'd come back as, he was still interested in what had happened to them... And why. All this had to mean something and did that mean that something was going to happen to him too? No... Matt didn't feel anything. But Jeff had... Was it something that the older brothers were not getting? He just felt like all this weird stuff had to have meaning, just a week ago he had that Blood Bath happen after his match, was that really a joke?

"They virtually won't let me in their joint dressing room anymore, won't let anyone." Lita continued, looking at Christian to check whether he was listening to her. He was. "At first I thought they were seriously joking because they've never been like that before but they were deadly serious. I even asked Matt whether he was still serious about me but he just smirked evilly at me and shrugged. Said he had 'other things to consider about and such' now. What the hell has he got to consider about other than us and this business!? He don't care about much else!"

"That doesn't sound like Matt..." Christian said thoughtfully, understanding where she was coming from. Sure, he didn't know Matt through and through but knew all to well that him and Lita were a great couple and were totally serious. For Matt to say something like that to her, there must be something not correct in that head.

"I tried to enter their changing room once to wait for them, thinking that they were off doing something but as I started opening the door Jeff just appeared out of nowhere and slammed it back shut. I demanded to him to let me in and wait and he literally hissed at me!" Lita continued to explain.

"Hissed?" Christian questioned in a stunned voice, thinking he misheard what she had just said to him.

"Yes, hissed. A very threatening sounding hiss, almost getting ready to bear his teeth or something but stopped. He turned around and basically told me to get lost! And to not come anywhere near their dressing room again and that I have no business or right in there, it has nothing to do with me." Lita continued while Christian just sat there stunned by what he was hearing.

"That is so weird." Christian finally managed to get out of his mouth.

"You're telling me." Lita shot back.

"And you just needed to tell someone this?" Christian finally asked when he was over most his stunned speechless part.

"Yes." Lita replied bluntly. "Wondered whether you'd know anything about this but obviously you're as clueless as myself. Plus wondered... Jeff went to you last week and wondered whether he mentioned anything to you."

"Yea... He did see me last week but I'm not sure that it has anything to do with him hissing!" Christian shot back, back last week it was like talking to a totally different person.

"What did you guys talk about?" Lita asked casually. "He looked quite serious then."

"It was nothing really... Definitely not about what he's doing now and wasn't really planning anything." Christian explained roughly but not wanting to go into detail or specifically say what they were talking about. It was personal, plus everyone would most likely think their nuts. "Just one thing I found weird..."

"And what was that?" Lita pushed on.

"Just before we parted... He stated that we shouldn't be walking around alone and he felt uncomfortable being alone, so he was going to hang out with people like Edge and friends. But I... Forgot something... And went back through the corridors and came across Edge and asked where Jeff went and Edge replied that Jeff had gone back to the hotel alone. I found that extremely weird after what he'd just been saying... And, of course, he disappeared after that and had now mysteriously appeared as he is now." Christian explained more, being careful not to mention the scream. He knew if he mentioned the scream he'd be bombarded by a million questions from everybody and the possibility of not being believed...

"Forgot something, huh? You can't stand talking to your brother now a days." Lita pointed out slyly.

"I didn't say it was willingly." Christian snapped back, not wanting people to start thinking he was back with his brother. He didn't need him, he needed no one.

"Guess..."

"Is there anything else?" Christian asked hastily, just wanting to jump in the shower now, give himself time to think.

"And you're not worried about that?" Lita prodded.

"Sure... I'm concerned... And find it a little weird... But what else do you expect me to say? I know that somethings not right but there's nothing I can personally do, now is there?" Christian pointed out.

"I'm not sure... I overheard them mentioning you, about what I have no idea. They saw me and skulked away, they really don't like anyone hearing what their talking about." Lita informed the blonde across the room.

"Most likely Matt bragging over how he saved me on the stairs." Christian dismissed, however in his mind he was questioning that a little. But what was he going to do about it? Go straight up to them and demand things on what their saying? Christian doubted that he'd get very far with them.

"... Maybe..." Lita sighed.

"If you don't mind, could you leave? I want my shower now..." Christian asked in the most politest voice he could muster, which was hard when he had such a mood on him.

"Sure." Lita nodded and got up to leave Christian's dressing room. "Just... Be careful, OK? We've been having some super weird stuff happening around here and don't want anything to happen to you."

"I will." Christian reassured her in a stern voice. But inside his mind he was thinking different, he was going to try his best to keep out of their way and such but trying and succeeding were two totally different things. Especially when he had no idea what was going on and who was doing what.

"If you need me, just come to my dressing room anytime." Lita added softly as she opened the door. "Thanks for listening to me..."

Christian just nodded and Lita smiled slightly and left the dressing room, leaving Christian to finally have his shower and have some peace.

Edge huffed himself through the corridors, heading towards his own dressing room. He saw the Christian match himself and was questioning what the hell Jeff Hardy was playing at. He read all the story lines and knew that wasn't a part of it and didn't think that he'd help Christian willingly. Especially after Christian went on his power trip of going solo! Did that show that The Hardyz were even picking Christian over himself? They were supposed to be his friends, not Christians.

Edge pushed open the door to his dressing room and had a bit of a surprise when he saw someone waiting in there for him.

"Luna?" Edge finally managed to get out of his mouth.

"Hi Edge." Luna greeted him casually.

"Luna? What are you doing here?" Edge asked, almost making it sound like a demand. "You don't work here at the moment."

"And a happy welcome to you too." Luna shot back gruffly. "I've just returned, if that was alright with you?"

"Sorry... Hard night." Edge sighed finally, he shouldn't really take it out on other people.

"So I can see." Luna replied casually. "Haven't had it easy have you in the recent times, have you?"

"What do you mean?" Unsure to what Luna was trying to point out to him at that second.

"I mean with you and Christian." Luna pointed out.

"Oh... Yea... Times have changed since you've last been here." Edge sighed, remembering that when she was last here himself and Christian were tag partners and still acting like best friends. Personally he hadn't changed much, to bad the same couldn't be said for Christian. Christian had turned his loyalties and somehow got it fixed into his head that he didn't need him anymore, which hurt Edge a lot. What was even worse was that Christian made it impossible to make up, he tried to make himself so well hated. Edge would honestly, in the safety of his own mind, would love to make up with Christian but to make up it would take the two people and Christian really wasn't interested at this moment. All Edge wanted was to have peace with him but it could take Christian a while to see what he was doing.

"Yea, you and your brother aren't together anymore." Luna nodded, her face remaining as serious as ever and still gave Edge the creeps.

"That was all Christian's idea." Edge snapped back, not liking being reminded of his sibling over and over. "He was the one that believes himself to be so brilliant and that he doesn't need anyone, and sadly 'everyone' includes me."

"He'll see sense you know." Luna replied, face staying the same but her voice sounded very serious. "He's not good on his own. He'd be much better off with being back with people that will care for him."

"I wouldn't tell Christian that." Edge warned jokingly, knowing Christian would most likely pop a blood vessel at a comment like that. Luna, of course, didn't see the humour in it and just stayed the same. "Is that the only reason you're here? To go on about how bad my relationship with my bloody brother is?"

Luna just smirked back. "Just felt like letting you know I was back. I think your relationship with Christian will improve, you're both just kids. Fight over stupid little things like matches, toys and girls."

"We are not kids." Edge snapped back with agitation. "And plus, this is all Christians fault! He can easily let jealously get in the way and he picked it over being brothers!"

"He's the youngest and you're the oldest. The youngest always does stupid things that he doesn't really mean and as the oldest you really need to still stick to him." Luna explained, still smirking.

"Could you stop now?" Edge shot back in a annoyance.

"Alright... But I can tell..." Luna started to reply and walked towards the door and opened it. "You're mind is saying something else. He's still your brother."

"Would you care to remind Christian of that?" Edge replied in a sarcastic tone as Luna left the room totally. What the hell was that? Why had Luna just blahed on about his and Christians relationship? In fact, why did she visit him at all? They weren't friends. But then something hit him... She was married to Gangrel! Suddenly Edge felt sick. The mysterious Blood Bath, there had been mysterious reports of killings in the areas, Christian and Jeff had talked about weird feelings and mentioned being watched or something, Jeff and Matt's mysterious disappearances, Luna just coming back... Were all of these related? And what was really happening around here? One things for sure, he hoped that his former team mate hadn't returned!

Wew, weirder and weirder... Is Edge's thought's and instincts anywhere near correct? The next chapter has more horror in store : ) Yay!
