Hey yo, here we are once again, we have AMW chomping at the bit to get a tag title shot and Gail Kim seems to have targeted Mara, how will these new rivalries develop? Lets find out!

Here We Go!

Rebirth-Chapter Fifty Five-Keep An Eye Out

Hey, Matt? You get the contract? You've already signed it? Well I admire your enthusiasm, yeah... oh boy" Cornette moaned as Harris and Storm barged into his office. "Call ya back Matt, business to take care of, can I help you gentlemen?" He asked

"Yeah" Yelled Harris. "Last week you said we had to earn a shot at the tag titles."

"I did."

"And we went and punked out our so-called champions and pretty much ran them out of the arena!"

"Warped view of things but yes?"

"So why is it" cut in Storm. "That we get here and find out that the Voodoo Kin Mafia are getting a title shot tonight?"

"Look, there were some complications..."

"Complications my ass! They're ducking us and you're helping them!"

"Look" sighed Cornette. "Firstly, VKM have been waiting since LAX lost the straps, secondly Jason and AJ got your challenge, but the kid's been out of the country all week and AJ's been away as well, we haven't had their answer yet."

"Really?" Smirked Harris. "Well, I think we better go get an answer then, c'mon partner."

AMW left, Cornette shook his head, they seemed pretty pissed, he hoped the champions were taking the challenge seriously.

"Question Five: What were the first words you spoke to each other?"

Jason sat back and smirked. "A girl?"

Mara laughed. "A rookie?"

Chris frowned. "What?"

"First training session he went to I got paired with this loser" replied Mara. "Such a waste of my talent."

"Weren't saying that when I pinned you in five seconds."

"Yeah? And how many weeks of me making you cry like a baby was that after?"

"Can't remember" shrugged Jason as the others laughed. "Besides, I learned in the end."

"Did you?" Laughed Sonjay. "Your matches still suck!"

"Sonjay, adults are talking, go play with your trike or something."

Sonjay laughed off the insult as Chris stood up.

"Where you going?"

"Do some scouting, number one contenders match tonight, or did you forget?"

Jay shrugged. "None of us are in it, don't really care."

"Who is in it?" Asked Sonjay.

"Kazarian, Senshi, Shelley and Jerry."

Jay frowned at the last name, the whole group hadn't said two words to or about Jerry since the pioneer had stormed out of the locker room before his match with Chris, Jerry was keeping his distance and the younger guys preferred to hang around with each other and leave him alone.

"Well, hope it's someone you can handle."

"Uhhh, Jay? Four months and counting buddy" smirked Chris as he left, Jay laughed.

"Hope it's Senshi, he'd stiff the hell out of our friend there."

Jason laughed. "Speaking of titles, when are you two gonna pull your heads out of your asses and come after me and AJ again? We had fun last time."

"We're biding our time" replied Sonjay. "Timing is everything, like how I earned the X title shot."

"And lost."

"So did you Jay!"

"By fluke!"

"Mine was a fluke too!"

"Well all they've managed to prove is that Chris is better than them" muttered Mara.

"Yeah, but lets not tell them that."

"Well, I better go, Jim's given me a match tonight."

"OK, I'll still be here watching these two fight" smirked Jason as his girlfriend left, he sat back and put his feet up. "Why is there never popcorn when we need it?"

"I say we just walk into the locker room, drag the little punk out and beat him to Holy Hell!"

"James! Think before you come up with a plan, and put the beer down!"

"Look Chris! You know I drink when I'm mad!"

"You also drink when you're happy, sad, sober, drunk, indifferent and when you see a girl ya like!"

"I like drinkin'!"

Harris sighed. "The reason we can't burst in there is cos the kid'll have his buddies there too."

"I can take 'em!"

"James, we gotta pick our spots, then we can make them our bitches."

"Where is Gail by the way?"

Harris laughed. "Said something about taking care of the Daniels chick."

"Gotta hand it to her, when she wants something..."

Out in the ring Mara had come out and was pacing back and forth waiting for her opponent, Cornette had decided on surprising her by not letting her know who her opponent was going to be, she waited and waited until some music hit to reveal Christy Hemme, Hemme looked nervous as she neared the ring remembering what happened last time they faced each other, she made sure the referee was between her and Mara before getting in, the referee called for the bell and she quickly rolled out of the ring.

Mara waited as Christy tried to find the courage to get in the ring, she climbed up on the apron but turned to exchange words with the fans allowing Mara to bring her in the hard way, she jumped up but Mara hit several big kicks and a roundhouse to put her down, Christy got back up but Mara hit an STO to put her right back down, Hemme tried to roll out but Mara pulled her back in and lifted her to her feet, she hit another kick combination then lifted her up and nailed the Angels Wings, instead of making the pin she pulled Christy to a corner then posed and hit the BME! She covered and kept Christy down for the three.

Mara looked to the crowd and shrugged then bowed and left the ring, as she was walking up the ramp Gail Kim came down to the ring with a mic.

"Daniels, hold on a second" Mara turned and saw Gail for the first time. "Get back in this ring, we have business to take care of!"

Mara smirked then walked back to the ring, stepping over Hemme's body as she got in, she squared up to Gail who backed away.

"Hold on, I think you know what this is about..."

Mara grabbed the mic. "Let me guess, you're another member of the women's locker room who wants to beat me up, put me down and end my career before it starts, right?"

"Close, but not close enough, I don't want to end your career, not yet anyway, but what I do want is to bring you back down to Earth. It seems that beating Traci Brooks and Christy Hemme has given you a high opinion of yourself, your friend Allison seems to think you're the best women's wrestler in TNA, and I for one am pissed off at that!"

Mara went to take the mic but Gail stepped away.

"How old are you? How long have you been in TNA? How long have you been wrestling period! I have work myself to the bone in TNA, in WWE, even in Japan! And yet everyone looks past me to you! I've wrestled and beaten everyone and all it takes is for some bitch who should be at some prom with her dumbass boyfriend to win a few matches and some independants title and she gets all the spotlight? Why? What makes you so special? What..."

Mara snatched the mic. "Long story short Gail, I'm good, I'm good at what I do, and the reason me and Jason aren't at some prom is because it's not our scene, and we'd end up kicking everyones asses but that's..."

"You think this is a joke? You're just like Jason, you never take anything seriously! And at Destination X, my boys are gonna take his belt and I am going to beat you down and prove to you that I am not only better than you, but I am the best women's wrestler in TNA."

Mara took the mic back and squared up to Gail again. "To be honest Gail, I look forward to it, but just to let you know, I am taking you and your challenge very seriously, and at Destination X, you will see why everyone calls me the best. But if there's one thing I've learned it's that no-one calls anyone out just to talk anymore, so whatever you've got in mind, go right ahead!"

Gail looked surprised and went to back off but suddenly slapped Mara in the face! The teen didn't even flinch and smirked to herself as she held the spot she'd been hit.

"Every time" she muttered and stepped forward only for Gail to tackle her to the ground and start nailing her with right hands, she kicked her off then nailed a huge clothesline before hitting some right hands of her own, Gail kicked her off and went for a knockdown but Mara avoided it and hit some more big kicks, she went for the roundhouse but Hemme was up and grabbed her, Mara kicked her away then dropped her with the roundhouse, she turned back to Gail only to recieve the microphone to the head! She went down leaving Gail standing over her, Hemme got up and raised Gail's arm only to be dropped with a neckbreaker! Gail kicked Hemme out of the ring with a look of disgust on her face.

"I don't need your help! This is between me and her!"

She turned back to Mara to inflict more damage but TNA security was out so she cotented herself with what she had done and left the ring as a dazed Mara glared after her, she walked backstage and sighed as Jeremy Borash approached.

"I'm gonna say this once. No."

"But Gail, why did you and Christy set Mara up?"

Gail laughed. "Borash, you are the stupidest man on the planet, one, I said no and no means no, two, I gave my reasons out there in the ring, and three it wasn't a set up, I don't need Hemme's, or anyone else's help to beat Daniels, this is between me and her and that's how it's gonna stay, and if any woman in TNA gets involved then..."

Before Gail could finish her threat Mara came flying in out of nowhere and tackled her back into the wall! She hit Gail with punch after punch as security tried to pull them apart, Mara spun round and dropped a member of the team with a punch allowing Gail to jump her and begin hitting punches of her own, JB pulled her off but got dropped to the ground by a huge punch before the two girls went at it again, security weren't keen on getting between them and just watched as Gail bounced Mara's head off the wall then threw her over a table, she charged but Mara responded with a takedown and got some punches in as Jason ran up to the scene, he pulled her off but Mara spun round without seeing who it was and cracked him in the face! He shrugged it off and grabbed her again and finally pulled her away from the fight, Gail tried to follow but security stopped her from going after Mara again as Jason dragged his girlfriend back to the locker room.

"What the hell happened to you?" Laughed AJ as Jason walked in rubbing the bruise that was forming on his face.

"Mara" he muttered. "She had a little run in with Gail and I ended up in the way."

AJ laughed again. "She's her brother's sister alright. It sore?"

"Very, but I'm used to it, just forgot in the moment why I usually let security break up her fights."

"Yeah, given half a chance and someone she hates she'd probably put our brawl to shame."

Jason smirked. "Anyway, this little beef with AMW, how you wanna take care of it?"

"To be honest kiddo, I say we get the DX rejects taken care of before we move on to anything like that."

"Just saying AJ."

"Just saying too, now go grab Mara, we got belts to retain."

Kip and BG were in the ring with Roxxi Laveaux waiting for the champions to come out, BG grabbed a mic and went to do the intro but AJ's music hit to cut him off, he came out with Jason and Mara right behind, Mara still seemed tense while Jason gave the mark on his face the occasional rub as they entered the ring, Kip and BG pointed to the belts as they handed them to the ref, Jason and Kip squared up for a moment before their cooler headed partners pulled them away, BG talked Kip into leaving the ring while Jason waited to kick things off for his team, Roxxi just stared at the champions and their manager until BG got her attention then let her out of the ring.

Jason and BG circled each other then Jason quickly pulled him down into a pin, BG jumped up but the teen took him down to the mat again then sent him off the ropes and knocked him down, he hurried back to his corner and Kip tagged himself in, he charged the teen but Jason hit a hiptoss, he got up in a corner and got a few chops before Jason whipped him and hit a backdrop followed by a dropkick, he got up by the ropes and Jason hit a clothesline that sent them both out but the teen grabbed the top-rope and skinned the cat back in, BG helped his partner up as Jason went out to the apron, they turned their attention to him just in time to recieve a springboard moonsault! Jason pulled Kip up and tossed him back into the ring then went up top, he waited for Kip to get up and hit a big cross-body for a two-count.

Jason pulled Kip to his feet and tagged AJ before whipping his opponent, he dropped down and AJ was there to hit a springboard forearm for a two-count, he quickly whipped Kip again and hit a dropkick then landed a big kneedrop for a two-count, he dragged Kip back to his corner and tagged Jason in then lifted Kip up for a suplex, he held him while Jason went up top and hit another cross-body for a two-count, Kip tried to get to his corner but Jason pulled him back and hit a neckbreaker for another two-count, AJ was tagged in again before Jason slammed Kip then brought his partner in over the ropes onto him! AJ covered but Kip kicked out again, AJ slammed him then tagged Jason, the teen suplexed Kip then hit a legdrop for a two-count, he went to hit the ropes but Laveaux tripped him, Jason spun round but Mara was already walking round the ring towards the Voodoo Queen, Laveaux backed off but before Mara could catch her Gail Kim came running down the ramp, Mara met her and the two girls began brawling again, Gail shoved Mara away then tackled her back into the ring apron, she whipped Mara into the crowd barrier and charged only for Mara to backdrop her over it, the teen hopped the rail and the two brawled away through the crowd as Jason watched on, he turned back to Kip only to recieve a big DDT.

BG quickly tagged himself in and got some stomps in on Jason before pulling him up and kicking him in the back, he dragged the teen to his feet and slammed him for a two-count, he pulled Jason up and hit his jabs then a big right to put the teen down and followed up with a kneedrop for a two-count then tagged Kip back in, Kip let the teen stand then whipped him and pressed him over his head, he held Jason up there then slammed him down to the mat, he let the teen stand again then whipped him and scooped him into a powerslam for a two-count, Kip tagged BG back in as Jason tried to make the tag to AJ, BG pulled him back to the ring but when he went to pick the teen up Jason began firing back with punches, he went for a whip but BG reversed it then hit a kick to the gut and hit a DDT for a two-count, Jason staggered to a corner as BG tagged in Kip, he charged and went for a splash but Jason moved! Kip hit the turnbuckle hard then staggered back into a reverse DDT! He quickly rolled to his corner and got BG in but Jason made the tag to AJ!

BG charged but AJ beat him to the punch and knocked him down, he went for a suplex but BG slipped out only for the 'Phenomenal One' to hold on and hit a neckbreaker! BG bounced up and AJ tried a whip, BG reversed it but AJ ducked an elbow and hit a moonsault into a reverse DDT! He covered but Kip broke up the pin, he whipped AJ but it was reversed, AJ gave him a shot to the gut as he came back making him drop to his knees then Jason came out of nowhere with the shining wizard! BG was trying to get up but got hit with the high-low combo for a two-count, they then picked him up and hit the double brainbuster! AJ covered but Laveaux put BG's foot on the ropes. AJ quickly went up top for the spiral tap but Kip pulled his partner out of the way! AJ hit the mat hard and Laveaux got up on the apron, Jason jumped in to confront her and Kip tried a sneak attack but Jason punched him away, he turned back to Laeaux who went to throw powder in his face but Jason ducked and she got Kip! Jason pushed her off the apron as BG went to his blinded patners aid only to receive a fameasser! Kip staggered around and AJ and Jason hit the superkick and the Pele! He fell to the outside as AJ picked BG up and hit the Styles Clash! He rolled into a pin and got the three-count!

Jason came in with the belts and tossed AJ's to him before posing with his own, AJ laughed then suddenly grabbed Jason and shoved him to one side, Jason heard the sound of glass shattering then turned to see AJ laid out with James Storm standing over him! He swung for Jason but the teen blocked and began throwing punches, he backed Storm into a corner and hammered away as Chris Harris hit the ring, he charged but Jason beat him to the punch and began beating on him as well, he quickly turned back to Storm and knocked him down allowing Harris to hit a spear! He began hammering away and Storm added some boots before Harris produced some handcuffs! They dragged Jason over to the ropes and went to cuff him to them but Chris, Jay and Sonjay hit the ring, AMW bailed and backed up the ramp as Jason tried to find his feet, Mara had been seperated from Gail and came running down to the ring to help her boyfriend, he shrugged her off and pointed to AJ, he was lying on the mat holding a hand over his eye as blood poured down his face, Jason began calling for EMT's as AMW laughed at the damage they had caused.

"I don't believe this" muttered Jason for about the tenth time as he paced around the hospital waiting room. "They're gonna pay!"

Mara stood up and pulled her back to his seat. "Relax, you can't do anything right now, besides we gotta find out how AJ is."

Jason nodded. "God I hope he's alright."

Mara smiled. "Never thought I'd hear you say that about AJ."

"Tell me about it" replied Jason. "Three months of trying to kill each other and now here I am in a hospital waiting on news on him" right on cue AJ's doctor approached. "How is he?"

"Well, we've had to remove some particles of glass from his eye, he's going to need to take some time for it to heal but there'll be no lasting damage, he's been very lucky."

"He ok for visitors?"

"Go ahead, he said something about a stupid kid needing his help every five minutes."

Jason laughed. "OK, Mara go up and see him, I'll be up in five, I promised I'd call his wife for him" he stepped outside to make the call and shook his head. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"We came to get an update" replied JB. "Only following orders."

Jason nodded then grabbed one of the cameramen. "Turn that thing on, Harris, Storm, I know you're gonna see this so I'll make it short and sweet, Destination X, you want the belts? You come get the belts! But Storm, cowboy, ever heard the saying an eye for an eye? You tried to blind my partner, it's time to pay the piper, next week cowboy it's gonna be you, one-on-one, with the 'Showstealer' what's the line again? Sorry 'bout your damn luck!"

Welp, there ya go, AMW earn first blood and Jason's out for revenge, will he get it at the expense of 'Cowboy' James Storm? Will AMW succeed in taking out the other half of the tag team champions? And will Mara and Gail continue to tear the Impact Zone apart to prove who's better? Find out next time!
