Disclaimer: You've heard it before.

Well, here we all are again, as we saw Jason and AJ were finally defeated by America's Most Wanted and Mara got the chip that was a loss to Gail Kim off her shoulder, so where do we go from here?

Rebirth-Chapter Sixty Five-End of an Era

"Anything here?" Asked the trainer.

"Nope."

"Here?"

"Still good."

"He..."

"OK! That's enough!" Jason hissed as the trainer pressed on one of his bad ribs. "So what's the diagnosis?"

"Quite good actually, you're about as bad as you were before the match, you were very lucky out there."

Jason sighed. "So how long?"

"About three weeks to a month, shouldn't be too long, in fact I think you should be cleared for just after Sacrifice."

"Awww, I thought we were rid of him!" Laughed Chris.

"You'll never be rid of me pal!" Replied Jason. "And how are you?" He asked Mara.

"No talking. Head hurts" she moaned.

"And you?"

"Well, I've lost my gold, watched you almost kill yourself and seen the guy who tried to blind me have his arm raised, surprisingly good really" said AJ.

"Yeah, my bad?"

"What the hell were you thinking going for the SSP from up there anyway?" Asked Alex.

"I don't know! Stop asking me why I do things, you should all know by now that I don't think things through before they happen!"

"He's got a point" shrugged AJ. "So when do you want the rematch booked?"

"Yeah... need to talk to you about that, guys, little privacy for me and my tag partner here?"

"OK, tell you what we'll meet you guys back at the hotel?"

"Sure, Mara, go with the guys and have a lie down, I'll see you when I get back kay?"

Mara nodded and got to her feet, she tried to take a step but stumbled sideways into Chris and Alex.

"Well, she'll sleep tonight" smirked AJ.

"Wait, she won't have any memory of what happens will she?" Asked Alex.

"Alex!"

"Joking!"

Chris laughed. "C'mon, even half dead I'm pretty sure she could kill us, let's get her back there. See ya kid."

"Later guys."

"So..." AJ sat down next to him. "I take it you don't want a rematch?"

"Not really no."

"Can I ask why?"

"Well, truth be told AJ, I think going after AMW, as much as I still wanna kill 'em, is just gonna sidetrack us more than we already were."

"Sidetrack?"

"Think about it man, before Jim put us together we were chasing Christian and Sting, we only got put as a team to get the belts off LAX, anything since then's just been a bonus, we got to run at the top of the tag division, kick 3D's asses, not much more we could've done in the end."

AJ nodded. "Cool, I can understand that, not sure if I agree but you got a point. So what're you planning on doing now?"

"Go home, rest up, and come back chasing that big gold belt at the top of mountain."

AJ laughed. "Sounds like a plan, although I hope you don't mind a little competition?"

"Well, considering we're one each on wins I think that's a given."

"Twenty bucks says I reach the top before you."

Jason laughed. "You're on!"

AJ slapped him on the shoulder then offered him his hand. "Been a real pleasure tagging with you kid."

"Likewise Styles."

"C'mon, I'll drop you at the hotel."

Jason nodded and pulled himself to his feet, time to go home, rest up and get ready.

There was a lot of work to be done.

Welp, there ya go, Rebirth is done, Yay! Not the best ending I'll admit but considering what I have planned for the next stage of this journey it was the best I could do, thanks to the reviewers, hope you stick around for the next step.

See ya
