Disclaimer: You've heard it before.
Hey yo, back again peeps, just short of Lockdown and once again the champs have a man down, will AMW finish the job? And who have Mara and Gail recruited as their respective tag partners? Let's find out!
Rebirth-Chapter Sixty Three-To The Finish
"So, you'll be OK until I get back right?"
"Mara, for the last time, I'll be fine! I'm not a damn invalid!"
"You should be with that injury."
"Well the meds do a damn good job then" smirked Jason reaching for the remote. "Whether or not they work for a cage match is another story."
Mara grinned to herself. "I can't wait until I get Gail in that cage."
"Me neither, the sooner you get in there and destroy her the sooner I can stop worrying about you."
Mara laughed. "You're lying there with a punctured lung..."
"Healing punctured lung!"
"Whatever, you lie there with that and you're worried about me having a cage match? Considering your track record of doing stupid things I should be terrified of the word cage!"
"It does take a lot of effort to come up with the stupid shit I do y'know, it takes a lot of thought before I figure out how to outdo myself."
"You say that and I'm still not worried about you, Chris was right you are a bad influence on me."
Jason laughed. "Just remember, it's a two way street, you had to want to be influenced, and I don't remember much resisiting on your part."
"You corrupted me!"
"And had a lot of fun doing it" smirked Jason as Mara finished packing her gear into her bag. "Not taking your belt?"
"Nah, it was just to show off when I first got it, besides, I want the big one like SHIMMER's."
"Don't let Saraya hear you say that, last I heard she said she was gonna rip your head off to get it."
"She's gonna have to" replied Mara. "You're still gonna be in my corner for this one right?"
"Of course, so long as she doesn't chop me again! That tag match against her and Zebra was brutal, I thought those bruises wouldn't ever go away!"
"I remember, I didn't come out of that too good myself."
"One good thing to come out of this injury, me and Pac were supposed to face Zebra and Zak Zodiac for the one-pro tag titles, we get to wait a little longer now."
"Coward" smirked Mara. "Reminds me, AJ wants me to bring your belt with me."
"Why the hell..."
"I don't know, maybe he wants me to replace you. Best idea he's had in a long time."
"Ha ha, speaking of tag partners you gonna tell me who you got to back you up?"
"I'm gonna say the same thing I said last time, it's a surprise."
Jason sighed. "Well from what I can guess it won't be Val because I don't think Jay wants her in harms way, and a Mara Daniels match definately counts as harms way..."
"Hey!"
"Which leaves me with three guesses, Saraya because she respects you but not enough to fly all the way over here, MisChif but last I heard she was injured so that leaves..." he drumrolled on the table in front of him. "Allison! Am I right?"
"Jason you are totally, one hundred percent... wrong!"
"Then who?"
"You'll find out tonight" smirked Mara as her phone rang. "Oh boy it's Mom..."
"Say hi for me" called Jason after her then turned back to the screen. "It's Allison, it has to be" he muttered to himself. "Who else could she have brought in?"
"Look, I'll be fine, Jason's not the only one looking out for me, OK I gotta get going, love you too!"
"How are things in the Daniels household?"
"The usual, Mom's freaking about what happened to you and thinks that I may be next, it's like I can't fend for myself now my 'Knight in shining armor is injured."
Jason gave her a confused look. "Remind me, has your mother ever watched one of your matches?"
"All of them, and hates every minute of them" laughed Mara. "If she had her way you'd wrestle for me while I stayed wrapped in bubblewrap in the corner."
"I just love how your parents seem to think I'm the best thing to ever happen to you. If they knew half the stuff I got up to with their little princess they'd lynch me!"
"OK Jason, you're starting to sound like Alex now."
"Then the meds are working."
"Riiiiiiight, anyway I better get down to the show, promise...."
"I'm not promising anything."
"Listen. Just promise me you'll try, try, not to be you for a few hours."
"OK, I'll try not to come down there, can't gaurantee anything though."
"Just try not to do anything stupid OK?"
"OK, see you when you get home... Who's your partner?" He yelled after her.
"A surprise."
"Any news on who Jerry's got tonight?"
"Last I heard it was Eric Young, apparently Matt, Kaz and Elix Skipper want in as well" replied Chris.
Alex laughed. "Awesome, more people in less chance there is of that bitter old bastard crashing our party."
"In all honesty man, I want him in there with us, and if he does get in then I want you and the others to leave him to me alright?"
"No problem, but you can pass it on to Jay and Sonjay in the ring tonight."
Chris smirked. "I'll tell 'em when I'm hitting the Cradle Shock on one of them, might not remember hearing it but..." he trailed off.
"What?"
"It's them" he replied nodding towards the parking lot were AMW and Gail were unloading their gear from their car, Alex began sprinting towards them with Chris right behind him, just before they could reach them security came out of nowhere and cut them off.
"Not today guys" smirked Harris, as they tried to break through the barrier. "Nice try though."
"How's the kid doing?" Asked Storm stepping up to where Alex was trying to force his way through to him.
"C'mon partner, let's get outt here, we gotta get ready for Styles getting here."
AMW walked off laughing as Alex and Chris gave up on trying to break past the security guards.
"If you guys had any decency you'd let us kill them" hissed Chris as he and Alex stormed off.
"So how is he?"
"As good as can be expected" replied Mara. "A bit confused about why you'd want his belt, me too actually."
AJ sighed. "Look, I know he's dead set on wrestling Sunday, but if he's as bad as I've been told then I ain't gonna let him get in that cage, even if I have to lock him out of it. And if I have to I'll go out there with both these belts and defend them myself."
"Trust me AJ, he's gonna be there whether any of us like it or not."
"Nothing and like it as he'd say" smirked AJ.
"Yeah, well I'm gonna go get ready for my match tonight."
"OK, be carefull though, if I know Harris and Storm they're up to something, and I told your brother I'd look out for you while Jason was down."
Mara nodded and headed off leaving AJ looking at the two tag belts, he sighed and went to pick them up when JB ran up.
"AJ, can we have a moment?"
"You're going to anyway JB so shoot."
"Well, we've all heard about what happened to Jason, can we get your thoughts?"
"You don't wanna know what I think about that, trust me."
"We've also heard that AMW have requested some time to address what happened, do you have any idea what that might mean?"
AJ shook his head. "I dunno JB, maybe they want to brag about what they did, maybe they wanna rub it in or maybe they wanna use it as bait for me, well boys good news, I'm biting! See you out there."
"AJ, with all due respect, walking into an ambush..."
"JB, let me make it clear, I've fought with Jason for almost six months now, we've been partners and enemies, we've bled with and for each other, and AMW did what they did without expecting a reaction? Jason was there when AMW almost blinded me! He's my partner, he's my fellow champion, and, believe it or not, he's my friend. And whether he's at Lockdown to wrestle, stand in my corner or not there at all, I will give everything I have to keep these belts, I owe him that."
With that AJ picked up the tag titles and walked away, JB went to wrap it up but Alex walked in and snatched the mic.
"Let me just add to that, I was at the hospital with the kid last week, I saw what they did to him first hand, and I have a promise to make to Harris and Storm, if AJ doesn't get you first, I will, or Chris will, or Jay and Sonjay will, you hurt one of us then you answer to the rest of us, and how unlucky you guys are that two of us come from Detroit! Because..." Alex fell silent as Jerry stepped up to him.
"Big talk for such a small man. You forgetting you already have a match tonight? And one this Sunday where you get to see me put you and your buddies in their place and get my belt back?"
"I didn't forget, but some things are more important than bitter old men with chips on their shoulders."
Jerry glared but Alex stood his ground. "Very good, nice to see the veterens get respect around here, and don't think I don't know it was you and your buddies who're responsible for me having to beat five guys to qualify instead of one like the rest of you!"
"Delusional as always Jerry, ever thought that's why the others kicked you to the curb? And as far as respect goes, you lost mine when you jumped my tag partner last week, so instead of preaching about it, go do your little six way and maybe we'll see you in the cage."
"Oh you will boy! I promise."
Alex sighed and turned to walk away only for Jerry to snatch the mic out of JB's hand and nail him in the back of the head with it! Alex went down but was pulled back up and slammed into the wall.
"See you Sunday Shelley, give the others my regards" he laughed leaving Alex lying on the floor.
Gail Kim smirked to herself as she waited in the tunnel for her music to hit, on the other side of the arena Mara and her partner were probably already planning what to do with her when they got in the ring, little did they know what she had planned, at the same time she wondered if Daniel's head would be in the game tonight and not with her mildly retarded boyfriend's well being, as much fun as it was going to be putting her plan into action it just wouldn't be quite as satisfying if her foe's mind wasn't fully focused on the task at hand. Her music hit to interrupt her thoughts and she strode out to the ring where she took the mic, unable to resist a shot at Mara's expense.
"Before anything else, I'd just like to wish Jason Cena a very speedy recovery. Because the sooner you get better, the sooner you can see my boys making the tag team titles mean something again" she laughed as she imagined Mara's partner trying to calm her down. "Now, before I introduce my partner, I think we should save the best until last, so Daniel's bring Allison out here so we can humiliate you one last time before Lockdown, and if Jason's lucky he might even have some company in his sickbed!"
Sure enough Mara's music hit right after that last jibe and the teen stormed out towards the ring, if look's could kill then Gail had a feeling she'd be six feet under if she held her gaze too long, as Mara got into the ring Gail slid out just in case her foe wanted to start the festivities early, the teen continued to stare a hole right through her as a mic was handed to her.
"First things first, I know you played a part in what happened to Jason, and don't think you won't pay dearly for it, secondly if there's one thing I've been taught in this business it's never be predictable, so with that in mind, let me introduce you to my partner, ODB!"
Gail couldn't hide her surprise as Mara's partner came out to the ring armed with a flask of whatever it was she'd decided to intoxicate herself with this time, she would have put money on the teen to have gone running to her mentor the first chance she had after the match had been made, she grudgingly admitted that Mara was smarter than she'd given her credit for although considering the girl was dating Jason Cena that didn't say much. But still, she had an ace of her own up her sleeve. She turned her attention back to where the teen was now holding the ropes open, daring her to get into the ring and smiled.
"Very nice Daniel's, you're boyfriend would be proud of you if he wasn't doped up on med's to make it through they day" she instinctively jumped back as Mara tried to get out of the ring at her only for ODB to grab the teen and hold her back. "But unfortunately, I've outsmarted you again. You see, while Jim Cornette and Matt Morgan may be biased against anyone who doesn't 'play by the rules' not everyone in this company is, which is why when they made this match last week I made a phone call to one Dixie Carter, and told her that if I was already facing Mara Daniels in a cage at Lockdown, then it would make no sense to have a match just three days before, especially because it would probably mean you not making it to Lockdown at all, so she agreed to let me step out of the match and put forward two people to replace me."
Just as she'd thought, Mara went nuts and tried to get out of the ring at her again, she laughed as ODB held her back once again. "Awwwwwww" she mocked. "Don't worry Daniels, I'm sure you can wait another three days before trying to avenge your boyfriend, and now, your opponents, Angelina Love. Velvet Sky. The Beautiful People!"
The death glare Mara had been giving Gail when she first arrived was nothing compared with the look she was giving her now as her new opponents arrived in the arena, Gail met her the look with a mocking smile which stayed even after Mara had turned her attention to Love and Sky, she stepped forward for her team as ODB stepped out as Sky stepped up to Mara holding a brown bag which she offered to the teen.
"So looking at your face doesn't make me sick" she smirked before having it removed from her face as Mara hauled off and punched her right between the eyes! She quickly crawled to her corner and tagged in Love before rolling to the outside holding her face while her partner circled Mara, she went for a lockup but the teen quickly took her down with an armdrag, Love rolled to her feet and charged but Mara took her down with another then hit a dropkick that sent her outside to join her partner, they argued amongst themselves allowing Mara to turn her attention back to Gail for a moment, she stared her down wanting nothing more than to rip her head off then snapped her attention back to Love, she had climbed back up to the apron but was throwing abuse at the crowd so the teen ran forward and brought her into the ring the hard way.
Love bounced to her feet and retreated to a corner where Mara ran forward and hit a monkey flip to bring her out, Love rolled to her knees this time and Mara nailed her with a dropkick to the head before covering for a two-count, she dragged Love back to her corner and tagged ODB in, she quickly came in and put Love in a headlock, she went to take her down but Love blocked it and threw her off only to get a shoulderblock to sent her down, she rolled to her feet and ODB whipped her off the ropes and hit a backdrop, Sky had seen enough and jumped in only to run into a slam, she and her partner pulled themselves up only for ODB to grab them and smash their heads together before hitting the ropes and clotheslining both of them over the top-rope to the outside in front of Gail.
ODB watched as Gail berated her two charges and they responded in kind before tagging Mara in, she took a swig from her flask and offered some to the teen who laughed and waved her away before running forward and diving through the ropes! Gail saw her coming and moved but Love and Sky were not so lucky, Mara jumped to her feet and smirked then spun round and began raining blows down on Gail! She tackled her back against the crowd barrier and continued to punch away at her before ODB ran around the ring and pulled her off, the referee jumped out and tried to regain order by ordering ODB back to her corner, while his back was turned Mara went to go after Gail but recieved a rake to the eyes for her trouble, she reeled away into Sky and Love who took advantage with a shot to the gut before whipping her into the steel steps! Love quickly threw her back into the ring then tagged Sky, she quickly jumped in and waited until Mara was halfway up before hitting a snapmare and kicking the teen as hard as she could in the back of the head then covered for a two-count.
Gail was now smiling in approval as Sky dragged Mara up and threw her into a corner, she walked forward and drove her shoulders into the teens ribs then brought her out with a suplex for a two-count, she tagged in Love and slammed Mara for the two to hit a double elbow on then spun round and slapped ODB! She tried to jump in drawing the referee's attention allowing Love and Sky to choke Mara with their boots in the corner, they both then distracted the referee allowing Gail to take a few shots before Love pulled the teen up and quickly dropped her down again with a spinkick for a two-count. She dragged Mara over to the ropes and stood on her back to choke her, the referee pulled her away and admonished her allowing Sky to take a few shots then choke the teen herself, the referee turned to her and Gail ran round and took another shot of her own causing Mara to reel away into a neckbreaker from Love for a two-count. Instead of following up Love began taunting Mara messing up her hair and lightly slapping her, she went to pull her up but Mara began fighting back with kicks, she hit a quick combo and planted her feet for the roundhouse but Sky jumped in only to take it herself, the teen quickly turned back to Love only to get cut off with a kick and a DDT! Love covered but once again Mara kicked out.
Love took a moment to argue with the referee again then dragged Mara to her corner again and tagged Sky, she jumped in and kicked Mara down then drove her knee into the teen's face, she taunted ODB as Mara got up then twisted the teen into a russian legsweep for another close two-count, she smirked and taunted the teen then went to pull her up only for Mara to hit a jawbreaker! She began crawling towards ODB but Sky tagged in Love who ran across the ring and knocked her partner off the apron then hit an elbow drop on her. Love called for the end and set Mara up for the Lights Out but the teen elbowed free, she hit the ropes and tried a clothesline but Love ducked and went for the Lights Out again only for the teen to hold on and counter it into a reverse STO of her own! Gail and Sky screamed for Love to get up but it was in vain as Mara dived across the ring and tagged ODB!
The well rested partner of Mara immediately jumped in and ran through Love with a clothesline, then another, Sky jumped in but ran right into a big backdrop before Love took a sidewalk slam for a two-count, Sky got up but before she could do anything ODB had grabbed her and tossed her over the ropes to the outside, Love took adantage and jumped ODB, she got a few shots in and tried a whip but it was reversed, she used the ropes to try and go up and over but ODB caught her and hit a running powerslam! She covered but Sky broke up the pin, she got a few shots in of her own then tried a whip but it was reversed, she managed to duck an elbow and a clothesline and try a cross-body but was caught and dropped with a fall-away slam! ODB nipped up to her feet and took another swig from her flask as Gail jumped in, she pushed past the referee and charged only to get the drink spat in her face! She staggered around into Mara who dropped her with a roundhouse! The referee turned his attention to her as Sky came into the ring, she tried a clothesline but Mara ducked and ODB nailed her with the flask sending her back into the teen who dropped her with the Last Rites! She high-fived ODB but then turned round to receive the Lights Out from Love!
ODB quickly came to her partners aid and exchanged punches with her, she took control then whipped Love into a corner, she charged but was backdroped over the ropes, she caught herself on the apron and climbed to the top-rope as Love mouthed off to the crowd, she turned back to ODB only to receive a kick then have her head smashed against the top turnbuckle twelve times! ODB let her reel away then dived off the top-rope with a Thesz press! She rolled to one side as Mara staggered to her feet, ran to a corner and hit the BME! ODB then made the cover and got the three-count as Mara stared the retreating Gail down, at the top of the ramp Gail turned and met Mara's stare with a look of pure hatred as the teen smirked and held up three fingers to show how many days her enemy has left.
"Score one for us then I reckon?" Smirked AJ as Mara limped into the locker room and slumped down into a chair, she met his grin with a small smile then shook her head.
"Not quite AJ, if it was Gail in their instead of the blonde's then maybe."
AJ nodded in non-committed agreement then turned his attention back to the monitor where the final X-scape qualifier was taking place, he frowned as he watched Jerry stomping the hell out of Eric Young in a corner while Matt Bentley, Kazarian, Shark Boy and Elix Skipper all fought around them, he didn't know what had gotten into his old rival but he didn't like it one bit, he sighed as the match degenerated into carnage before Jerry managed to nail Shark Boy with his cradle piledriver for the win, not content with that he suddenly pulled his defeated opponent up and hit the Cradle Shock! AJ shook his head and flipped the monitor off.
"Remind me when we're finished with AMW to have a few words with Jerry" he muttered, Mara nodded from her seat and went back to her thoughts, AJ went to go to his bag but stopped when he heard a commotion out in the hall, he exchanged a look with Mara then threw the door open, he looked down the hall to see AMW holding ODB down while Gail mercilessly wailed on her with a nightstick!
"HEY!" He screamed charging down the hall towards them grabbing a small scaffold pole as he did, Mara sprinting out the door behind him, AMW saw him coming and took off just as Jay and Sonjay also arrived on the scene, AJ watched the two chase after Harris, Storm and Gail before security cut them off allowing AMW to escape into the parking lot, he turned to where Mara was checking on ODB and dropped down next to her, he watched silently as the trainers arrived and helped ODB limp away to get treatment, he stayed silent as Mara ran off a list of threats about what she was going to do to Gail at Lockdown.
"Go home Mara" he muttered suddenly.
"What?"
"Get changed, go home and make sure Jason's as good as he can be for Sunday."
"What about you?"
"Me?" He asked. "I'm gonna wait until AMW go out there, and then I'm gonna kill them."
"Are you crazy? The way they're going you're gonna be the one who get's killed!"
"True" he conceded after a pause. "But I promised your brother and Jason I'd protect you, and if I'm getting stomped down I can't do that, so get outta here."
"No."
AJ sighed. "Mara, listen to..."
"No you listen AJ!" Mara yelled causing several crew members to look up. "Because of them my boyfriend has broken ribs and a punctured lung! A punctured lung AJ! Do you know how much pain he's in because of that? I don't care if they take me out so long as I can inflict a fraction of what they put Jason through!"
AJ sighed. "If you weren't your brother's sister I'd say you were out of your mind."
"Maybe I am" she countered. "But if you'd seen Jason in the hospital last week then you wouldn't be trying to stop me."
"But..."
"AJ, what if it was Wendy they'd attacked? Or one of your family? Wouldn't you be like this?"
"Well, yeah..."
"Then you know why you have to let me do this as well."
AJ finally have in. "Fine, fine, but God help me if something happens to you and I have to answer to Jason and Chris."
"Let me worry about that."
"Fine" AJ sighed, then allowed himself a small smirk. "Wow, you better hope no one ever tells Jason just how much you really care."
"You wouldn't?"
AJ laughed. "I dunno, seems like the sort of thing the kid would love getting under your skin about."
"AJ Styles, so help me..."
"With so many light years to go, and things to be found, to be fooouuunnndddd..." Jason groaned as his phone went off and interupted his song. "Great, now I gotta start over" he muttered. "Hello?"
"Stop watching Family Guy slash Scrubs and put Impact on now!" Jason laughed at Chris's voice.
"Why? The Impact zone on fire?"
"No, me and Alex are on!"
"Oh God no! I can hear people switching off already!"
"Ha ha ha, nice to see the injury didn't take away your sense of humour."
"Joking's the best way to get through your matches Chris, they usually are one, how's Alex by the way?" He asked. "I saw what Jerry did to him, is he OK?"
"He's fine, just a little pissed... huh?" He heard Alex mumble something to his partner. "OK he's very pissed, Jay and Sonjay might be in a little trouble."
"You're booked against Jay and Sonjay?" Jason asked in confusion as he saw the two in question walking down to the ring. "Then why the hell are you on the..." Loud muic began playing over Chris's end drowning him out. "Chris?"
He hung up the phone and couldn't help but laugh as he watched Chris and Alex walk out into the arena both screaming into Chris's phone. Chris finally gave up and handed it to the ring announcer. "Take care of this, it costs more than you do!" He said before turning to the camera. "Watch how a real champ does it kid!"
Jason burst out laughing. "Goddamnit Chris, of all the hare-brained..." he stopped and laughed again. He always could count on his buddies to do something to cheer him up. He relaxed back on the sofa and watched as his four friends went at it, after going back and forth Chris and Alex finally took control and went for their kick combo on Sonjay but Jay interupted it, he sent Alex out then went for the Lethal Combination on Chris but the X Division champion elbowed out of it then scooped him up and hit the Cradle Shock! He jumped to his feet and posed allowing Sonjay to jump in and hit the Sonjay Cutter followed by the running shooting star press! He went to cover but Alex came in, grabbed him and hit the Sliced Bread Number Two on him onto Chris! He covered Sonjay and held him down for the three!
"Advantage Alex" muttered Jason as Alex jumped to his feet and let the referee raise his arm as Chris looked up at him in a mixture of pain and amusment.
"Taking one for the team was I?" He smirked as Alex nodded back at him, the referee went to bring Chris's belt to him but Alex took it and held it up for the crowd then turned to each of his three friends with it held high over his head, he helped Chris up and handed him the title and shook his hand before they both did the same to Jay and Sonjay. It was then they noticed Jerry watching from the stage sarcastically applauding them, Chris called for him to come down to the ring but Jerry didn't move as the group raised each others arms in a show of unity, Jerry just laughed and turned his back on them to make his exit.
Jason sighed but sat bolt upright as his attackers appeared onscreen walking towards the entranceway with Gail in tow, he felt his hands shaking but took a deep breath reminding himself that Lockdown was coming soon enough, just as he did the camera cut to AJ leaving his locker room with Mara.
"What're you... You're outnumbered!" He yelled at the screen. "Why are you..." he raised a hand to his face, if they went out there to face AMW then chances are they'd end up taking AJ out, that just left Mara alone against them...
He was on his feet heading for the door before he'd even finished his train of thought, he silently prayed one of their neighbours was around to get him there as qick as possible, he grabbed the door handle but stopped.
"C'mon Jase you need a plan" he thought. "You can't just charge into this as beat up as you are, you need a plan! Think Jase think" he sighed to himself as thought he didn't want jumped out of nowhere.
"What would John do?"
Back at the arena AMW had entered the ring and taken center stage, Harris took the mic first.
"I'm sure you've all heard by now what happened last week. Before we get started I just wanted to say, on behalf of James, Gail and myself, Jason Cena, we're sorry, we are, but not for what we did to you, we're sorry we never did it sooner!"
Storm laughed and patted his partner on the back as he continued. "You see, all we did was something that everyone else in the locker room wanted, but didn't have the balls to do themselves! We took that stupid little kid, and we beat the crap outta him in a way that even his brother would think was too much! From day one everyone has wanted that kid out of here, from when he won the X title, to his short run with the big boys, to his 'team' with AJ, to his wannabe Rat Pack with those other misfits in the locker room. And we finally did it!"
Storm took over. "I don't know why we're being made out to be the bad guys, all we did was do TNA a service by injuring him, but apparently he can't take the hint and just stay down, apparently he's coming to Lockdown, healthy or not! Let me make it clear so even you can understand boy. You come to Lockdown, you step into that cage and you won't be walking out, we won't just injure you, we'll kill you! But maybe that'd be a good thing, TNA would be rid of you, AJ wouldn't have to team with your sorry ass, and your girlfriend would be free to find somebody better, cos let's face it, any kid you helped create would be the most emo, retarded misfit in history! And..."
AJ's music hit to finally end AMW's rant as he walked out holding both the tag belts, Mara followed him trying to push past and charge the ring but he held her in check, as he reached the ring Harris took the mic back.
"AJ, AJ just hold on for one second and listen to me, just one second, I know you want to tear us apart but listen, this stuff between us and you, it's nothing, it's not personal, you were just unlucky enough to be teamed with the punk. That beer bottle to the eye wasn't meant for you, it was meant for Jason, you know it was, all we want is the tag titles and Jason Cena out of the way for good, you don't need to be a part of this, does he cowboy?"
"No, Styles, we got a deal for ya, you get in this ring, hand us those two belts, take that little bitch and walk out of here and you'll never have to deal with us again. But if you don't, then at Lockdown, it will be personal, and everything we do to you will be meant, so what's it gonna be Styles?"
AJ looked at the ground as though thinking it over, he looked at the two tag belts, then at Mara, then rolled into the ring, Harris and Storm stepped forward holding out their hands, AJ sighed then held the belts out... and threw them up! Storm and Harris went to grab them but AJ burst forward and hit a double clothesline! Gail stepped forward and got in his face but Mara jumped in and took her down! AJ began hammering away on both members of AMW then threw Harris out, he backed Storm into a corner and hit punch after punch to his face, Harris came back in and tried to cut him off but AJ hit a kick and went for the Styles Clash only for Storm to jump him, the two beat AJ down before Harris grabbed Mara and slammed her down next to him by the hair, he pulled out his handcuffs and the two grabbed AJ, they dragged him to two ropes and cuffed him to them before beating him down some more while Gail choked the life out of Mara, Storm pulled AJ up and smirked.
"Weren't you supposed to be protecting her?" He taunted. "Some tag partner you turned out to be!"
Harris laughed then pulled Mara up and pinned her arms allowing Gail to hit slap after slap to her face, after a while he threw Mara down and told Storm to go up top whilst he set her up for the Death Sentance! AJ tried to break free but Gail kicked him low to subdue him much to AMW's amusement, Storm prepared to jump but suddenly AJ's music hit! Storm jumped down and Harris dropped Mara as Jason slowly walked out into the arena, fists clenched and his face set with rage, Storm and Harris burst out laughing as the teen slowly made his way to the ring and slid in, Storm ran forward but Jason's hand flew up and a cloud of powder shot into his face! He reeled away blinded and Harris jumped forward but Jason beat him to the punch and backed him into a corner with punches, Harris tried to cover up but Jason continued to swing at whatever he could reach before Gail jumped on his back, the teen paused for a moment then pulled Gail into position for the C-Bomb! He went to hit it but Harris was up so he just tossed Gail at him sending them both out to the floor! Storm was still staggering around so the teen grabbed him set him up and hit the C-Bomb!
AJ cheered as his partner landed his finisher but froze when instead of getting up Jason rolled over to his stomach holding his chest area.
"Oh crap! Mara, I think he's..."
Before he'd even finished Mara had rolled to where Jason was lying.
"Jason! Jason are you alright?" His only response was to cough and gasp for air before moaning in pain.
On the outside Harris had pulled his partner out of the ring and was about to dive back in when he saw Jason lying in the ring still in obvious pain, he looked confused for a moment then smirked as it sunk in.
"He's fucked!" He whispered to himself before grabbing Storm and Gail and leading them back up the ramp, in the ring Mara had helped AJ get out of the cuffs and both were standing over Jason, he sucked it up and raised himself to his knees before giving his girlfriend a small grin, AJ offered a hand but Jason waved it away and forced himself up. AJ picked up the tag titles but Jason snatched one.
"I believe this is mine" he smirked before turning to Mara, who was now glaring at him. "I tried?" He offered.
"You just can't not be you can you Jason?"
Jason blinked. "Huh?"
"You know what I mean!"
"Yeah, but c'mon, would you have me any other way?" He asked, she responded by hugging him, he winced but managed to hide it from her, he saw AJ looking on gave him a look telling him to stay quiet, AJ shrugged and turned to the ramp where he was concerned to see AMW looking on with sinister grins on their faces.
Well there ya go, can the champions defy the odds one more time? Can Mara settle things with Gail inside the cage? Which of the others will walk away with the X Division title? Could Jerry overcome all of them? We shall see very very soon although we may have another interlude beforehand, we'll see
I'm out
