A/N. Welcome to the next chapter! After the last upload, I decided to change the rating to M in preparation for that first Luna and Seth sex scene. And also because I swear an awful lot… I saw a review in the last chapter about when I'm going to start writing Roman and Dean's relationships and don't worry- I haven't forgotten about it, I'm just waiting until the time is write to start writing them. So that'll probably be in the post-TLC chapters. This chapter focuses primarily on the on-screen stuff, this is all written in italics, bits that are out of character are just written in a normal font. After posting the last chapter I set up a Twitter account for my profile, so if you want, you can follow me DTFanFic610. I'll be posting whenever I upload a new chapter and I'll probably give my thoughts about whatever's happening on WWE TV as well. Anyway, this is Chapter 6, enjoy!
"Dean, Seth, Roman, Luna." Michael Cole greeted as the camera panned to show the four people in question. "Having worked with the four of you in developmental, I find it weird to be conducting this interview under these circumstances. I mean, some people-"
"Some people? Who are these people, Michael?" Seth interrupted
"Yeah, Michael. If you have a question for us, just ask." Dean contributed.
"Ok. Are you working for WWE Champion CM Punk and Paul Heyman?"
"Nope." Dean replied, causing Luna to chuckle slightly at the bluntness of her teammate
"Ok." Michael says, slightly flustered at the response. "So what are you guys doing here."
"Down in developmental, we saw things clearly." Dean started
"Crystal clear, actually." Luna said
"You see, everybody around here answers to the likes of Vickie Guerrero and Booker T" Seth says "and they have to answer to the board of directors."
"And the Board of Directors, ultimately has to answer to the WWE Universe. The almighty WWE Universe. What is that Michael?" Dean questions
"That's a goddamn popularity contest. That's what that is." Luna interrupts just as Cole is about to answer " How wrong is that? That everything around here is decided on the whim of a popularity contest? It's wrong. And when we saw a wrong, we stepped in."
"Roman, I'd like to get your take on all of this."
Roman stood up. "When I've got something to say, I'll say it." The man in question answered before sitting back down.
"But, come on, guys. There's no denying that everything that you've done so far benefits CM Punk."
"It's a coincidence, Michael!" Dean shouts. "At Survivor Series, Punk was forced to defend his title against two dominant Superstars- both of which he has beaten before- in a match where he doesn't have to be pinned to lose the title. You know what that is? It's an injustice, we are a shield from injustice."
"And what about last week? When you attacked Ryback?"
"What about last week?" Luna asks rhetorically. "365 days. A full calendar year, that's how long CM Punk was celebrating as Champion last week on Raw."
"365 days! That's incredible in this era. You don't think that deserves to be celebrated? And Ryback wants to interrupt that celebration? If it had been Ryback celebrating a year as Champion and CM Punk decided to interrupt- we would have interfered on Ryback's behalf." Seth said
"Ryback's interruption was an injustice, Michael. And like I said earlier- we are a shield from injustice." Dean said, before turning to his teammates. "We are The Shield."
Cole went to ask another question but was prevented from doing so when Roman stood up. "I've got something to say. We've said enough, this interview's over, man." the Samoan said, before walking off the set.
"That was so awesome!" Luna exclaimed when the newly christened Shield entered their dressing room for the night. "Like, just the way Roman was so calm and badass! We are going to fucking run this company! I can't wait for TLC."
"Yeah, you and me both, baby girl." Roman said.
"So, what else have we got on tonight?" Seth asked, picking up the sheet showing the script for the night's show.
"Well…" Luna started sitting down on a bench to watch.
"And Alicia Fox going for the Scissor Kick, here and OH MY GOD!" Michael Cole exclaims from the commentary desk as Luna bursts out of nowhere and hits her with a running Neckbreaker, causing the referee to declare her the winner via disqualification.
Luna picks her up, before hitting the foxy Diva with another Neckbreaker, this time from a jumping position. She walks over to the corner and begins to taunt and shout at Fox to get up.
Just as Alicia Fox staggers to her feet, Luna sprints out of the corner and hits her with a running Sunset Flip Powerbomb. "And a Powerbomb by the female member of the Shield, Luna Williams, to Alicia Fox. Why is she doing this? Where was the injustice here?" Jerry Lawler asks as Luna begins to climb to the top rope.
"Oh God, guys. If you've watched Williams on NXT you'll know what's coming here. It looks incredible, but I guarantee you that Fox will have a very different opinion of the move that's about to be delivered here by the Shield's only female member." Michael informs
Luna jumps off the top turnbuckle, back rotating twice before landing on Fox with a splash. "And the Double Rotation Moonsault to Alicia. Luna calls that the 'Luna Eclipse'. I can tell you that Williams has been in WWE Developmental since 2010 and I swear to all that is holy, nobody has ever kicked out of that move. Whenever Luna has hit the Luna Eclipse, it has signified the ending of the match."
The crowd booed as Luna posed over a fallen Alicia.
Luna practically sprinted back to The Shield's locker room once she arrived backstage. Even though she had done the move a thousand times before, she was really nervous going for Luna Eclipse. So when she hit, what she felt was her best one yet, she couldn't wait to see what Seth had thought of it.
She was just about to open the door to the dressing room when it was flung open. Luna and Seth made eye contact for a second, surprise on the faces of both at the other being there, before the latter pulled the former into a deep and passionate kiss.
Several seconds later, they were interrupted, however, when Dean cleared his throat loudly- telling the two of them that both himself and Roman were still in the room with them.
They pulled away from each other, Luna smiling sheepishly. "Did you watch?" she asked excitably.
"Did I watch? Babe, that was the best Double Moonsault I've ever seen anyone hit." Seth replied, causing her to blush "I don't think you've ever hit Luna Eclipse as good as you did there."
"Yeah, Seth's right babygirl" Roman interjected "I've seen you do that move a fair bit over the last couple years, but I've never seen it done as well as it was there."
"Meh. It was ok." Dean said "What?" he asks at the looks his teammates were giving him "Ow! Ok, it was great. Well done, Williams." he went on to say after Roman hit him over the back of the head.
"So, just the tag match left, then?"
"Yep, looks like it."
It was later in the night, and Team Hell No had just beaten Team Rhodes Scholars in a blistering match.
"And Team Hell No getting the win tonight, despite them not getting along." Michael Cole said as the Tag Team Champions argued.
As the two of them were going back and forth, The Shield attacked. Jumping on Kane like a pack of wolves and taking him out before turning their attention to Daniel Bryan. Just as they were about to Triple Powerbomb him, however, Kane got back up and started fighting to remove the four of them from his tag partner.
Luna ran towards the Devil's Favourite Demon, looking for a running dropkick, however she was cut off by a right hook- causing her to fall to the mat. Seeing their fallen teammate, the remaining members of The Shield charged at Kane and picked him up for a Triple Powerbomb.
"FEED. ME. MORE!"
Ryback's music hit and the Big Guy ran from the back to attack the Shield. With the numbers no longer in their favour, Seth picked up an unconscious Luna and The Shield retreated. Walking back through the crowd into the backstage area of the arena.
A/N. So, that was Chapter 6. Hope you enjoyed it. I tried to incorporate as more on screen stuff than I have previously, so I hope you liked it. Thank you for reading this chapter, and if you liked it please leave a review. The next chapter should be up by around Friday, but it might be up before then depending on when I get it finished. If you're wanting updates on my upload schedule (if I miss an update in the future) or just want to talk about wrestling, tweet me DTFanFic610. Until next time, thank you for reading.
