Here We Go!

Rebirth-Chapter Twenty Nine-Bound For Glory Part 1

"Mara?"

"Yeah?"

"Please tell me this is some kind of twisted nightmare."

Mara looked at her boyfriend and shook her head, it was less than twenty four hours until Bound for Glory, the two teens had checked into a hotel for the night rather than take Chris up on his offer of staying over at his home. The hotel had been fully booked with TNA wrestler, agents and management so some would hace to room with each other, Jason and Mara had accepted that but as soon as they met their room mate they wished they hadn't.

"I don't believe this!" Yelled Jason unable to hold it in any longer. "Of all the guys to room with why did it have to be you?"

"I dunno" smiled Kevin Nash. "Must be your lucky day."

"Lucky? Lucky? I'm sharing a room with a guy who thinks that wrestling midgets is good TV! Wait a sec, why are you here? You live in Detroit!"

"Yeah, my house is getting work done, turns out letting Scott Hall party there wasn't a good idea."

"Where's your family?"

"Mother in law's."

"Why aren't you with them?"

"They're at my mother in law's" replied Nash simply, Jason shrugged in a 'good point' gesture.

"Aren't you buddies with Shelley?"

"He's already got guys staying over."

Jason sighed and flopped back down on the double-bed he and Mara had managed to claim. "Great, so I'm stuck with you."

"Hey, it's not all bad, we can talk, I can give you advice..."

"Like wearing platform shoes in Ultimate X?"

"Alex thought it was a good idea."

Jason sighed and massaged his temples. "Kevin, that guy would think it was a good idea if you dressed him up in women's clothes."

"Nothing wrong with that" said Nash, Jason looked weirded out for a second causing him to laugh. "Gotcha, and speaking of clothes you gotta start wearing stuff that compliments the whole 'Showstealer' gimmick..."

"Two things, first the 'Showstealer' thing is not a gimmick, it's what I do. Secondly, when the hell did you become a fashion guru?"

"Who do you think designed the Paparazzi's shirts?"

"OK Mr. Guru, how do you suggest I embrace the 'Showstealer' look?"

"Well I know for a fact you use that name as a little tribute to Shawn, so maybe you could, I dunno wear something like that thing he has when he comes out or maybe start wearing tights like his, but first you gotta make a shirt so you can move merchandise."

"OK, the shirt I agree with, but I ain't blatantly ripping off Shawn."

"Why not? Your buddy Lethal rips of Savage."

"Fair point."

"Anyway maybe while you're at it you could give your girlfriend a nickname."

"Like what?" Asked Mara.

"Fallen Angel" smirked Jason.

"My brother uses that you idiot."

"Curry girl?"

"What the..."

"Don't worry Nash, unless you've hung out with her brother you wouldn't get the joke."

"Why do I need a nickname anyway?"

"Everyone has one" replied Nash. "He does, I do..."

"Kev, I don't think you can get away with calling yourself 'Big Sexy' anymore..."

"AJ Styles does" continued Nash. "Dutt, Williams... does Lethal have one?"

"We're trying to come up with one."

"What have you got?"

"Well, we tried the black 'Macho Man', and 'Macho Blackman', "Nacho Man', Sonjay came up with 'Machismo Man'..."

"I got one" smirked Nash. "'Black Machismo'."

Jason opened his mouth to say something then stopped, he thought about it for a second then laughed. "That's pretty good."

"See?"

"OK, just because you got one good one doesn't mean you can do mine" said Mara. "Mara Daniels, simple as."

"Fine, anyway it's getting late and I need my beauty sleep..."

"A little late for that Kev!"

"And I don't want anything funny going on... at least until I can get Alex over here with his camera."

"You sick bastard!"

"What? The Jason Cena sex tape, it'll blow Paris Hilton's out of the water."

"Goodnight Nash" sighed Jason turning his back on the big man.

"Hey, how about I sing a song?"

"Oh God no!" Muttered Jason.

"Amazing grace, how sweet..."

"Mara, PLEASE tell me this is a nightmare!"

"Sorry Jason."

"OK, think the Detroit Police will care about another murder?"

"Wow, so that's Ultimate X?" Asked Jason staring up at the structure.

"Uh huh, cool isn't it?"

"Until I fall off it" replied the teen before turning and walking down the tunnel, the two had arrived at the arena early so that Jason could get a look at what he would be facing later that night, the sight of the structure was enough to get the adrenaline flowing. "It never looked that high on the DVD."

"That's DVD's for you."

"The DVD lied? I hate it when they do that!"

Mara laughed and shook her head. "Is it me or are you an even bigger goof than usual?"

"I'm excited, Ultimate X, Bound for Glory, I got a chance to make history."

"You already have, first guy to compete at Wrestlemania and Bound for Glory in the same year."

"Wohoo" replied Jason sarcastically. "Honestly though that thing is scarily high."

"Look on the bright side, you don't have to get in the ring with Sirelda."

"True, you sure you wanna go through with it?"

"It's something I gotta do, besides Traci's in the match as well, speaking of which I better go get ready, we're the opening act."

"Good luck" Jason called after her before heading off to find a locker room to change in, as well as his Ultimate X match Mara had been thrown into a six way ladies elimination match with Traci, Gail Kim, Christy Hemme, So Cal Val and Sirelda. Jason didn't like the idea of his girlfriend being anywhere near the Amazon but just like her brother Mara knew no fear, then again Jason lived like that as well and he'd come through everything OK, hadn't he? He shrugged at his own question then walked into the first locker room which was empty except for Senshi, the warrior gave him a look then went back to throwing kicks at the wall to warm up, Jason emptied his bag and began changing into his ring gear. His mind wandered for a while before settling on the Ultimate X match, he smiled as he thought of everything that he and the others would do to each other just to get the belt. At the same time he felt a little worried, this was his last shot to get the gold back, no more re-matches, no more shots, win back the gold or come away with nothing, it was a pretty easy choice.

"Kid?" Jason spun round at the voice to see Chris standing behind him. "Got a minute?"

"Sure" replied the teen sitting down. "What's up?"

"Look, you're not pissed about me hitting the cradle shock on you are you?"

"No Chris, why would I be pissed about my buddy dropping me on my head?"

"Look kid..."

"Relax, I'll just pay you back out there."

"Is that why you didn't come stay?"

"Nah, I just figured that if we were gonna end up kicking the crap outta each other we shouldn't really stay in the same house, wish I did though."

"How come?"

"I ended up sharing a room with Kevin 'I Beat Bob Backlund In Eight Seconds' Nash!"

Chris burst out laughing. "Sorry kid."

"It wasn't as bad as it could've been, he's actually OK tp talk to, whenhe's not bullshitting or singing" the two paused to shudder at that thought. "He even came up with a cool name for Jay."

"What?"

"Black Machismo."

Chris laughed again. "I'll give him that, can't wait to see the look on Jay's face when we call him that. Anyway, we're cool right?"

"Yeah, see you out there."

"Yeah" Chris went to leave but stopped, he smirked unable to resist a parting shot. "And when I win that title feel free to join in when the people start chanting 'Hail Sabin!'"

Jason laughed and stood up. "Just one problem, they won't be chanting 'Hail Sabin!' They'll be chanting my name when I climb up there and pull MY belt down, and Chris? There's just two things you can do, Nothing..." he stepped right up to Chris and dropped his voice. "... And. Like it!"

Chris smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Good luck kid" Jason watched him leave then exchanged a glance with Senshi who was still throwing kicks at the wall, he could hear the pyro signalling the start of the event going off in the background, he pulled his i-pod out of his bag and put in the headphones, he closed his eyes but smirked at the first song that hit.

"Code Monkey get up have coffee, Code Monkey go to job..."

In the arena the old 'Fallen Angel' music hit to play Mara to the ring, the Detroit crowd gave her a lot of love as she walked down the ramp and vaulted over the ropes into the ring. Sirelda was next to come out and walked straight down to the ring, Mara looked a little intimidated but stood her ground as the Amazon got in the ring and walked over to her, she towered over Mara but the teen didn't back down and stared the bigger woman right in the eyes as first Christy then Val came out. Mara only broke the stare when Traci's music hit, the Canadian stopped on the stage and waited until Gail's music hit and they walked down to the ring together, Mara glared at the two until the referee came in to gain some control.

The other ladies slipped out of the ring until it seemed Mara and Traci were going to start, they went to lock up but Gail came in the ring and went to jump Mara from behind only for the teen to spin round and catch her with a kick! Traci stepped forward but Mara took her down with an armdrag and hit a dropkick, Traci retreated to a corner and Mara hit a running clothesline followed by a bulldog, she covered but Traci kicked out at two. Mara went to pick the Canadian up but she pushed her away then ran to a corner and tagged Gail, she charged Mara but the teen sidestepped and rolled her up for a two-count, they got up and Mara quickly got a small package for another two-count, Gail pushed Mara away and swung a punch but the teen ducked and hit a back suplex for another two-count, Gail rolled to another corner and tagged in Christy.

Mara causually leant back against the ropes as Christy came in the ring, they locked up and Mara quickly took her down into a headlock, Christy struggled for a few seconds and managed to apply a headscissor but Mara did a headstand to escape then dropkicked Christy right in the face! She covered but only got yet another two-count, Christy staggered to her feet but Mara grabbed her and hit a suplex, Christy rolled to her knees then Sirelda tagged herself in and threw her out of the ring. The other girls all hopped down from the apron as the Amazon slowly walked towards Mara, Sirelda went to grab her but the teen ducked and began throwing right hands! She put everything into the punches but they barely fazed the Amazon, suddenly blocked one of Mara's punches and twisted her arm causing her to scream in pain and drop to her knees. Sirelda pulled her back to her feet and effortlessly threw her across the ring, Mara rolled to her feet and Sirelda charged but Mara sidestepped and hit a dropkick! The Amazon didn't go down but instead staggered back into a corner Mara followed and hit some more punches until Sirelda shoved her away, she backed off then charged and hit a stinger splash! She hit some more punches then grabbed Sirelda and slammed her! She hit the ropes but the Amazon suddenly jumped up and ran right through her with a clothesline!

Sirelda seemed angry after Mara's offense and began pounding on her until the referee got her to back off, she allowed Mara to pull herself up then threw her across the ring again, Mara staggered up in a corner and the Amazon hit a running clothesline then hit a backbreaker, she covered but Mara managed to kick out at two. Sirelda looked suprised then pulled Mara up by the throat and called for a chokeslam! She lifted the teen up but Val ran in and grabbed her by the hair, the Amazon spun round and Val immediately let go and backed off, Sirelda stalked her out of the ring then turned back to Mara only for her to come out of nowhere with a superkick! The Amazon reeled but didn't go down then Christy and Val came in and hit a double clothesline, she started to get up but Gail came in and put her right back down with a neckbreaker, the Amazon began getting up again as Traci climbed to the top-rope, she waited until Sirelda was upright then came down with the Pie in the Sky! This time Sirelda stayed down allowing Mara to run to a corner and hit the BME! She covered as the referee counted... and got the three!

"Sirelda has beeen eliminated!"

Mara started to get up but Traci and Gail took advantage and jumped her, they beat her down until Val came over and pulled Gail away. they began brawling amongst themselves as Christy stood in a corner watching. Meanwhile Sirelda had just rolled out of the ring, she slowly stood up as the realisation of what happened hit her, she spun round and climbed back in the ring, Christy saw her coming and tried to bail but the Amazon grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back in and lifted her over her head then slammed heto the ground. Sirelda then grabbed Val and dropped her with a slam then threw Gail across the ring, Traci saw her coming and charged but the Amazon nailed her with a clothesline. That just left Mara, the teen tried to get up but Sirelda grabbed her and set her up for a chokeslam, she went to lift her up but Mara kicked her in the gut and hit a jawbreaker, the Amazon reeled allowing Mara to hit another kick and set her up for the Angels Wings! She went to hit it but Sirelda backdropped out of it then grabbed Mara and hit the chokeslam!

The referee tried to get Sirelda to leave but just got a look that made him back off, Mara had managed to roll to the outside but Sirelda followed, the Amazon hammered on her for a while then picked her up and threw her into the crowd barrier. More TNA officials were out trying to get Sirelda to leave but she just shrugged them off and picked Mara up for a chokeslam out on the floor! Suddenly Jason came running out from the back and made a beeline for Sirelda, the Amazon let go of Mara and she slumped to the ground, Sirelda stared Jason down before pushing past him and heading for the back allowing Jason to check on his girlfriend.

Back in the ring the other girls were all recovering to their feet, Gail got up first and immediately grabbed Val and hit a neckbreaker, she covered... and got the three-count!

"So Cal Val has been eliminated!"

Gail smirked then stood up and looked around, Traci was up on the apron while Christy was struggling to get up, she tagged the Canadian in and stood aside as she climbed to the top and hit the Pie in the Sky! Traci made the pin and another three count was registered.

"Christy Hemme has been eliminated!"

Gail and Traci high-fived and got ready to wrestle then noticed Jason helping Mara limp up the ramp, they exchanged a smirk then began yelling insults after them, Jason felt Mara tense up and tried to get her to keep walking but she had already spun round. Traci and Gail continued to taunt her but he put a hand on her shoulder and went to say something only to get a look which made him realise how pointless it was, he'd done this hundreds of times and Mara was scarily like him, there was no way he was gonna win this one. He shrugged then smiled at her.

"Go get 'em!"

Mara smiled at him then limped back down to the ring, as soon as she got in the two jumped her and began putting the boots in, they pulled her up and hit a double suplex then began kicking her again, the referee stepped in and pulled Traci away them ordered her out of the ring while Gail continued to beat on Mara before pausing to wave at Jason who was watching from the ramp with concern, a TNA official came up next to him.

"Jason, c'mon, you ain't supposed to be out here."

Jason nodded and followed after the official looking back at the ring where Gail was still pounding on Mara, she dragged her to Traci's corner and tagged the Canadian in before holding Mara so Traci could get some shots in, she hopped out of the ring as Traci hit a facebuster for a two-count, she stomped Mara a few more times then tagged in Gail, they both took some shots then hit Mara with a double DDT, Gail covered but only got a two-count, she pulled Mara up and hit some right hands before dropping the teen with a spinebuster for a two-count and tagged Traci, she put Mara in a Boston crab while the Canadian vaulted over the ropes and hit an elbow drop to the teens back, the two then hit Mara with a double back suplex and Traci covered for a two-count.

Traci picked Mara up and hit some chops before whipping her, she went to lift the teen up but Mara shifted her weight and hit a hurricanranna! She jumped to her feet and caught Traci with a dropkick then went to hit the ropes but Gail grabbed her by the hair and threw her down. Traci got up and threw Mara into a corner and hit some kicks to the ribs, Gail pulled Mara up and held her allowing Traci to charge and drive her shoulder into the teen's ribs, she dropped to the mat while Traci tagged in Gail. The two pulled Mara up and Gail slammed her and told Traci to hit the ropes, the Canadian did but Gail suddenly hit a clothesline! She stood over Traci then smirked and shrugged then turned back to Mara and got some kicks in, she went to go back to Traci but received a spear! Traci began opening up with punches until Gail escaped and hit some of her own, Traci pushed her off and charged but she sidestepped and Traci hit the corner hard, Gail followed and started hitting some right hands then Mara came from nowhere and hit a stinger splash on both of them! She pulled Gail out of the corner, spun her round and hit the Angels Wings! She covered and got the three!

"Gail Kim has been eliminated!"

Mara tried to get up before Traci could attack her but no sooner was she up then the Canadian grabbed her and hit a DDT for a two-count, Mara tried to roll to her feet but Traci just kicked her in the face then picked her up and hit a neckbreaker for another two-count, she pulled Mara up and hit a slam before going to the top-rope, she waited until Mara had struggled to her feet and went for the Pie in the Sky but when she landed on Mara's shoulders the teen hit a powerbomb! She collapsed to the mat as well and slowly crawled into a pin but Traci kicked out. Mara hit some kicks then dragged Traci near the ropes, she went to the corner and posed for the crowd before going for the BME but Traci moved! Mara hit the mat hard and bounced back up allowing Traci to hit a huge clothesline, she covered but Mara kicked out at two.

Traci pulled Mara up and threw her into a corner, she hit some chops then choked away at her then lifted her up to the top-rope and went for a superplex but Mara fought out of it and shoved her down, she stood up and the teen came off the top with a missile dropkick! She made the cover but Traci kicked out. Mara used the ropes to pull herself up and caught Traci with a kick and set her up for the Angles Wings! She went to lift Traci up but the Canadian took out her legs and catapulted her into the corner, she followed up with a running knee to the teens back then lifted her up to the top again, she went to follow but Mara elbowed her down, she stood up to go for a moonsault but Traci pushed the referee into the ropes causing her to fall onto the turnbuckle, she climbed up to the top and bounced Mara's head off the structure holding the Ultimate X cables then brought her all the way down with a back suplex! She stood up and smirked at the crowd then placed a foot on Mara, the referee counted but Mara kicked out at two.

Traci gave the referee a shocked look then made a proper pin on Mara but the teen kicked out again, Traci flipped and began unloading on her with punches then started choking her, the referee got her to break it but she just hit some more punches until he pulled her off. Traci then grabbed Mara by the hair and dragged her to her feet andset up for the Angels Wings, she lifted Mara up but the teen flipped all the way through it and got a backslide for a two-count, Traci got up in a corner and elbowed Mara away, she charged but Mara sidestepped and set her up for the Last Rites! She went to hit it but Traci slipped out and got a roll up for a two-count, they both got up and Traci tried a suplex but Mara countered into a small package for another two-count, they jumped up again and Traci took out the teen's legs and bridged into a pin for a two-count, again they got back up and Mara jumped onto Traci's shoulders and got a victory roll for yet another two-count.

Both girls got up and Traci tried a whip, Mara reversed it and went for a dropkick but Traci grabbed the ropes to stop herself, Mara landed on the mat and Traci made a pin with her feet on the ropes, the referee got to two then noticed and stopped, he argued with Traci allowing Mara time to recover, Traci went to pick her up but Mara slapped her hands away, fell back and hit a superkick! Mara slowly rolled over to make the pin but Traci kicked out. The Canadian pulled herself up in a cornerwhile Mara staggered to her feet, the teen went for a stinger splash but Traci moved, Mara caught herself on the middle-rope then jumped to the top-rope and went for a twisting cross-body but Traci dropkicked her out of the air! She made the cover but Mara put her foot on the bottom-rope, Traci screamed in frustration then pulled Mara up and went for a slam but the teen slipped off her shoulders and dropkicked her into the corner, Traci staggered backwards and Mara grabbed her then hit the Last Rites! She forced herself to put an arm across Traci as the referee counted... and she got the three!

Mara didn't get up as her music hit, she just lay on the mat completely spent from the match, she closed her eyes and tried to catch her breath as the referee asked if she was alright, she nodded then opened her eyes when she heard soneone get in the ring and saw Jason standing over her, she grinned up at him and accepted the hand he offered to help her up, the two teens hugged then Jason raised Mara's arm for the crowd.

"So do I have to call you 'Miss TNA' from now on?" He smirked.

"Don't start with me Jason" she replied then laughed as Jason lifted her up to his shoulders and encouraged the crowd to cheer louder, the celebration stopped when the two teens saw Sirelda standing on the stage glaring down at them, Mara began calling for the Amazon to come down, she didn't but instead just pointed at her and left the arena, Jason raised Mara's arm again then held the ropes for her as she left, before he followed he glanced up at the cables above him and smiled then vaulted over the ropes to the floor, at the top of the ramp he raised Mara's arm one last time before the two headed backstage.
