Chapter 24: The Rescue

Location: Old warehouse

Date: June 15, 2010

It had been three weeks, and poor Maria was still abandoned in the warehouse. She wasn't alone unfortunately, for Punk and Michelle were with her, keeping an eye on her.

"Phil, come on!" Maria groaned. "How much longer are we gonna be in this nasty house?"

"SHUT UP RIA!" Phil screamed at her. "We are hiding out in this damn place so that your no good fiance cannot find you!"

"And Mark may be helping you guys out, but he shouldn't have butted into this in the first place," said Michelle. "So I'm only helping the SES out to send him a message."

"Michelle, I really cannot believe you," Maria stated, looking at her furiously. "You don't look like the type of woman to be doing this."

"So what?" Michelle sneered.

"To Mark - and the rest of us - you are one of the sweetest women ever. But lately, you've changed a lot. What is going on with you?" Maria asked Michelle.

"Um... Have you been living under a rock with your rocker fiance?" Michelle asked. "As of late, Mark has been ignoring me an awful lot lately. He's been skipping dates with me in favor of spending time with his two brats Gracie and Chasey." She let out a low growl and muttered to herself, "Oh how I want to - "

"OH MY GOD MICHELLE!" Phil shouted. "Would you shut up about Taker ignoring you already? Why did I even let you work with us in the first place?"

"Because... Punk," Michelle told him slowly, letting out a smirk. "I figured you and the SES were dealing with Edge, so I wanted to help because Maria stole my title back at Elimination Chamber in February. So in a way, I got my revenge by having Layla order you to lay there and give me the belt." Then Michelle gave Phil and Maria a huge smile, like she was all proud of herself.

"Not so fast, Michelle McCool!" Michelle looked toward the door of the warehouse and saw Layla, the Divas, Mark, Glen, Adam, Bret and the Hart Dynasty standing there.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Phil thundered out. "This really cannot be happening right now!"

"Adam?" Maria asked, looking for him.

"Ria baby!" Adam broke out of the group and ran to the chair where Maria was still tied up. He was about to untie her when Michelle blocked his path.

"Not so fast. She is OURS!" she screamed at him.

"I don't think so, Michelle." Mark broke out of the group too and stood next to Adam. Now both of them were looking at Michelle furiously.

"Mark?" Michelle asked, looking dumbfounded. "What are YOU doing with everybody else?"

"Yeah. Who told you I was in here?" asked Maria.

Looking at Natalya, Mark replied, "Nattie did."

Letting out another growl, Michelle muttered, "Darn it, Natalya."

At that point, Natalya ran over and tackled poor Michelle to the ground. Then the other Divas ran over and helped Natalya take care of Michelle, except for Layla.

"Lay? How come you're not attacking Michelle too?" Maria aked her.

Smirking, Layla replied, "Don't you worry about me and Michelle. I've got my own plans for her at Smackdown."

"Oh." Then Maria realized that she was still tied up. "Is anyone going to untie me?"

"Oh!" Glen, Bret and the Hart Dynasty proceeded to untie the rope that was holding Maria in place. After she was untangled, she quickly ran over to Edge, who put his arms around her and held her tight.

"Oh Maria! I've missed you so much," Adam started to sob.

Starting to cry too, Maria cried, "I've missed you too!" Then, they kissed each other passionately, with one of Adam's hands on Maria's pregnant belly.

At that time, the other Divas joined the group.

"Well, I think we took care of Michelle," said Mickie.

"Great. Adam, take Maria home," Mark said.

And Adam and Maria left quickly. Upon watching everything unfold, Phil looked so pissed!

"NO! NO! NO! What the hell just happened?!" he shouted.

"We'll tell you what just happened," Glen started. "The power of true love prevailed once again, that's what."

Looking at an unconscious Michelle on the ground, Phil quickly realized what was going to happen.

"Um... Guys? Let me explain?" he pleaded, but the other male wrestlers surrounded him so he couldn't get away.

"Attack," Mark said to the other guys.

Glen and the Harts attacked Punk while Mark and the Divas watched.

"Thanks for helping us, Taker," Eve said, smiling at him.

"YOU'RE AWESOME!" Melina screamed.

"My God!" Mark cried, covering his ears.

The Divas just giggled and chuckled at him. Then the guys came back over to the group, out of breath.

"All right. We just took of Punk," Bret said.

"Hopefully this means we won't hear much from him in a while," Tyson stated.

"I agree man," replied David.

Nodding at everybody, Mark stated, "Guys, I think our job is done. Let's get out of this damn creepy warehouse!"

After looking at Phil and Michelle's unconscious bodies one more time, Mark, Glen, the Harts, and the Divas finally left the warehouse. They had no doubt that in the end, Adam and Maria were safe. If not, they would attack their tormentors yet again.

Phew! This chapter is finally finished! Again, sorry about the lack of attention brought to this story. I know it might've been rushed in the middle, but I kinda like how it came out. Do you?
