Chapter 19: Revenge
November 12-December 19, 2010

Author's note: just to not get in trouble, I should remind everyone that I don't own anything that has to do with WWE. Also, don't raise a stink about the date I used; I know that SmackDown is filmed on one night and shown on TV another night. I am writing my story with TV showing dates. Also, be nice with the TLC match at the end; I could only find clips that showed the highlights of the match.

After she was rescued, Pandora approached Edge with a burning question: "Why did you rescue me?"

Edge took a few seconds to think of how he should answer that question. Should he tell her about the promise that Lacti made him swear? He then remembered something about his time in Hell: Lacti did not tell him when Pandora did until he forced it out of her and Pandora had yet to admit it herself. With that in mind, he decided to turn on the charm. He smirked at her and said, "Come on, Pandora. Do I look like the kind of guy who lets a cute girl like you be around those two psychos?"

Pandora blushed but accepted the answer. At this point, she was just happy to not be under Damien's control.

The following week, Pandora unveiled a new look to go with the now-number one contender for Kane's championship Edge. She wore black jeans, black tennis shoes, and a tube top that was the same hue as her hair. She wore fingerless purple gloves and wore a purplish-black newsboy hat. She still kept her wings in view; she was not afraid to show them to the audience, even though Undertaker was no longer with her. She missed him greatly and kept his hat as a memento; only her new friend Kelly Kelly knew about it (she walked in on Pandora hugging the hat and comforted the crying demoness). Pandora knew she needed a good distraction to keep her from becoming depressed…she got that and more in a humorous adventure with Edge.

November 12, 2010

Edge was fuming backstage. Pandora was nearby but was staying quiet, letting him seethe. Kane attacked him in the middle of his match with David Otunga when the referee was not looking, making Edge lose. She was furious as well, not only because Kane attacked Edge but also because Damien gave her a cheap shot to the back of the head. She held an ice pack to her now-forming bump and felt her mental wheels run. After a few minutes, Pandora got an idea and said, "Wanna get back at Kane?"

Edge growled, "What do you think?"

Pandora ignored the attitude. "I have an idea…it will both get back at him and help your match with him for the belt."

Edge was not in the mood for her not telling him exactly what she was talking about. "If you are going to talk in riddles, you can leave."

Pandora once again ignored his attitude and simply said, "As you humans say, give him a taste of his own medicine."

Edge looked at her, a little confused by what she meant. But he then remembered his plan; this was a good time to execute it. Edge smirked, making Pandora smirk as well. Pandora asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Edge's smirk just grew. "Remember my plan?" Pandora giggled in response.

Minutes later, Kane and Damien walked into their hideaway to find it in disarray. Paul Bearer was gone…only the urn remained.

At the main event, Kane was battling Big Show and it was clear to everyone, especially Damien, that Kane was distracted. Damien was embarrassed that his partner was not fully focused on the match because of the disappearance of Bearer; Damien himself was elated that the fat man was gone and hoped to never see him again. Throughout the match, Damien kept yelling instructions at Kane to either snap out of his daze or to keep up the attacks on Big Show. Towards the end, Kane finally fully woke up and gave Big Show a boot to the face and a flying clothesline. Damien grinned, knowing that Kane was about to end this match. But the demented demon was interrupted by a familiar voice calling out his name and a familiar giggle. Both he and Damien turned around and had different reactions to what they saw. Kane freaked out and Damien just calmly said, "Oh."

Edge and Pandora were there…and they had Bearer, tied up in a wheelchair and gagged with his own tie. Pandora enjoyed the moment immensely; what better way to get back at the two men, including on she made the hatred vow towards, who have injured her master in one way or another in the past? Edge teased Kane with his captive with verbal taunts and even acting like he was going to push Bearer off the entrance ledge when Kane tried to leave the ring to rescue his father. Damien was furious that Kane even thought of leaving the match and saving Bearer, let alone try to. The demon's anger only grew when Kane lost thanks to the distraction.

With the match over, Edge and Pandora took Bearer away. The mind games were only just beginning…

November 19, 2010

Edge and Pandora had a lot of fun with their captor. That is, Edge has fun with the torture (all the games were his ideas) and Pandora just enjoyed watching and laughing. She wanted to take part in the fun, especially with the dodge ball game, but she felt herself getting weak. She figured it was like the time she was with Khali and her weakness was attributed to her being away from Undertaker for so long. If that was the case, she thought that the only way to get her strength back was to find Undertaker. But she was too weak to summon a portal to Hell and felt trapped in her weak body. Just as she was about to figure out what else she could do, Edge asked her, "You want something?"

Pandora looked up at him. "What?"

"I'm calling for a pizza. Do you want something?" She blinked in response and was greeted with his hand grabbing her chin and Edge looking her over. "When was the last time you ate something?"

Pandora raised her eyebrow at him. "Ate something? I've never eaten human food."

Edge was surprised by this. Even he knew that demons ate from his time in Hell. "How the hell have you been walking around all this time?"

Pandora lowered her eyes a little. "I get my energy from…someone else." Edge did not ask what she meant; her body language spoke volumes. He let go of her chin and ruffled her hat a little. "Well, I'm getting you something to eat. That may help you out."

Pandora straightened her hat out and looked at Edge a little confused. "How so? Human food is different from demonic food."

Silently agreeing, Edge got out his cell phone and started to dial. "You're eating as long as you're with me."

Pandora blushed, feeling embarrassed for some reason. She was used to being taken care of but this was a different situation than all her past experiences.

Edge ended up getting her a personal small cheese pizza along with the food that he got for himself and the almost-forgotten Bearer. Pandora fell in love with the foods that she encountered and swiped a few breadsticks and brownies for herself (she knew she did not have to worry about gaining weight since evil beings had an extremely high metabolism). But she had to be careful to not choke because Edge decided to try to "feed" Bearer and the result made Bearer look like he had been on the losing side of a food-fight. Pandora, now stronger from the food, cracked up so hard at Edge playing with their toy/captor and was disappointed when Edge decided to go to the arena to tease Kane some more.

At the arena, Kane and Damien's reactions to Bearer's predicament were as different as night and day. Kane trashed Teddy Long's office when his twisted mind became convinced that Teddy was withholding information about Edge's whereabouts and then vented his anger to a very frightened Rosa Mendes. Damien followed Kane but was embarrassed by Kane's freak out in the office since it was all for the fat man and was then more interested in flirting with Rosa. Kane was too busy freaking out to notice his comrade's reactions. He finally figured it out when he started to vent to himself and Damien was quiet. The demon looked up and saw that the smaller demon was listening to his music player. Enraged, Kane snatched the music player and threw it across the room, taking the ear pieces with it. Damien glared up at Kane. "Rude much?"

Kane grabbed Damien by his neck and pushed him against the wall. "I ought to rip you apart for not being on my side with this!"

Damien glared coldly at Kane. "With what? Your pathetic attachment to the fat man? Grow up!" Kane tightened his hand but Damien acted like he did not feel it. "I would let go if I were you."

Kane laughed dementedly. "Why should I?"

Damien smirked. "Because, if you attack me, you won't be the Devil's favorite demon anymore." Kane was too upset at the moment to remember that he was threatening the Devil's son so Damien punched him in the gut faster than Kane could react. As Kane struggled to get his breath back, Damien crouched down and made Kane look at him by grabbing his throat. "Besides…you should be nicer to your creator."

Kane was stunned by what Damien said. "What?"

Damien's smirk widened. "Why do you think I said I would help you get rid of your brother? I gave you new life all those years ago, baptized you in the fire, and made you the monster you are today." Damien neglected to mention that he knew what he was doing when he gave Kane his dangerous powers. Damien punched Kane across the face and quickly healed the bruise. "Just keep that in mind next time you feel like rebelling against me."

Kane said nothing. He knew that he owed Damien his life after the funeral fire…but he also owed Bearer for his life from birth. He was bound to both of them and could not choose between them.

Edge and Pandora's visit to the arena was short, just enough to let them attack Kane and Damien (who only followed to try to snatch Pandora) and send a message about that coming Sunday…a message that would not deliver when Edge's shoulders were down in the pin and Kane retained the title because both were counted out. Pandora was disappointed that Edge did not get the Championship…but it also meant that the fun would continue.

November 26, 2010

Because Edge did not win the Championship, he and Pandora continued and enjoyed the mind games. They knew they were playing with fire but they were having too much fun to stop. Kane was getting very annoyed that he was being played with, especially with Bearer being used as bait, and Damien was getting more and more furious that Kane was acting this way to get Bearer back. But this night was the night that not only started the next chapter in the mind games but also started a new chapter between Pandora and Edge…thanks to Bearer telling Edge that he did not deserve a Father.

Pandora teleported herself, Edge, and Bearer to another part of the arena so that Kane would not find them but she was upset by what Bearer said to Edge. She knew that the comment was not directed towards her and she doubted that Bearer remembered saying those nasty words to her when they first met all those years ago when she was searching for her Father. But those words still cut her deeply. With Bearer in the corner, Edge peeked at Pandora and saw that she was upset. "What's the matter with you?"

Pandora looked up and sighed. "What Bearer said…about not deserving a Father…"

Edge waved it off. "Come on, Pandora. Those were just words. Besides, why are you upset? He didn't tell them to you."

Pandora glared at Edge. "I didn't have a Father either, okay? And the closest I had to a Father…is gone…" Remembering Undertaker being buried alive made Pandora's eyes well up with tears. She did not want Edge to see her crying so she turned around and hugged herself. She focused on getting past this moment; in doing so, she did not hear Edge approach her until he hugged her from behind. Blushing deeply, Pandora looked back enough to look at his face. "Edge…?"

Edge smirked. "Ignore that guy. Things like him just want to make you feel rotten for their pleasure. I mean, look at what his son has done over the years." He turned her around and kept holding her. "So buck up; you know better than to let him get to you."

Pandora nodded and hugged him back. She felt strangely warm in this hug. While she had males hug her before, being hugged by Edge felt…different to her. This feeling was new to her. Edge looked down at her. "Now I want to see you smile…that same smile you had when I rescued you…your cute one."

Pandora blushed but smiled up at him. Edge smirked. "That's better. Now…what do you say we give our toy the proper punishment?"

Pandora giggled. "Sure. What do you have in mind?"

Sometime later, Edge and Pandora came out with their victim by the audience entrance of the arena. Edge called Kane and Damien out and then threatened to shove Bearer down the stairs. He asked the audience what they thought Edge should do and they (and Damien) agreed that Edge should go through with his threat. But he changed his mind when Kane tried to bargain with the Rated-R Superstar. Kane challenged him to another World Heavyweight Championship match. Edge accepted the challenge…but continued the mind games, the peak being when he ran over a dummy that was made up to look like Bearer. The audience and Pandora got a kick out of that mind game but Kane and Damien were getting sick of them. Kane hated being on the receiving end of the mind games and Damien hated that his creation kept falling for them, shown by Damien started to refer to Kane as "idiot."

The following week, a match was set up for Edge and Kane (after a few more mind games, which infuriated Kane and annoyed Damien); the winner would decide the stipulation for their match at TLC. Kane almost won but was distracted thanks to Pandora turning on the titantron, revealing footage of Bearer begging Kane to rescue him. Thanks to that and to Damien's rage, Edge won the match and decided that the match would be his specialty, a TLC match. Kane and Damien were pissed at the stipulation but there was nothing that could be done about it now. But the distraction had Edge starting to look at Pandora differently, like when he learned that she saved him when he was in Hell…

December 10, 2010

When they arrived at the arena, Edge immediately saw a vase holding a bouquet of flowers. He looked at Pandora, who did not notice the vase. As they passed it, Edge took a pink flower that was shaped like a rose out of the vase without stopping. They first arrived at the divas' locker room; Pandora immediately tossed her bag in. "Ow…I'll never get used to carrying that thing." She then looked at Edge. "You ready for tonight?"

Edge nodded. "You got our guest all ready?"

Pandora shuddered. She transported Bearer to another backstage section earlier that afternoon. "Yeah, he's there. Couldn't get away from him fast enough."

Edge laughed, making Pandora smile back. She liked to hear him laugh; it made her heart glow. She barely understood this unfamiliar feeling but she liked it. As she turned to go into the locker-room, Edge stopped her. "Wait. I got something for you."

Pandora grinned. "Really? What is it?"

Edge shook his head. "You got to close your eyes first."

Pandora rolled them before covering. She felt him move her hair away from her right ear, making her blush, and put something there. She opened her eyes and peeked into the locker-room. She was able to see the flower from the mirror across the room; she blushed and came back out, looking at Edge. "Edge…why…?"

Edge smirked. "Now the pretty girl is even prettier." He then turned and walked away while saying, "Meet me where Bearer is in 20." Pandora watched him, still blushing from what he said.

The mind games of the night were Edge using Bearer as a guinea pig with all the instruments in a TLC match. Pandora got a kick out of them; because of that, she did not notice Damien glaring at her flower. But things came to an abrupt end when Kane accidentally pushed Bearer down from a ledge; because Bearer was on top of two ladders and Kane was so used to the dummies, the demented demon had no idea what he did until he looked down at the carnage. Damien, on the other hand, knew the difference between Bearer and the dummies because of scent. Because he hated the fat man, Damien kept his mouth shut and relished in Kane's pain.

December 19, 2010

The match at TLC was intense, especially since it was now a Fatal-4-Way thanks to what occurred that Friday. Since Kane did not show up to SmackDown until the last few minutes, Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio were added to the TLC match. The four superstars focused on destroying each other and trying to retrieve the belt that was suspended above the ring. Each superstar came very close to getting the belt, including Del Rio's personal ring announcer for his boss. Damien and Pandora cheered for their respected companions and also focused on not getting hurt by the flying bodies and weapons. But, in the end, Edge speared Kane into a table (and Damien who did not move out of the way in time) and began the climb up the ladder.

When Edge retrieved the belt, Pandora was ecstatic with cheers and grins. She immediately went into the ring and climbed up the ladder to be with him. Without thinking, she kissed him. Edge froze, surprised by this, and the audience cheered. It was the cheers that woke up Pandora and she quickly pulled back. "Oh! I'm so sorry. I don't know what—"

She was interrupted by Edge pulling her forward. He smirked his familiar smirk and said, "Shut up." He then kissed her deeply, surprising both Pandora and the audience. Pandora melted and kissed him back; this marked the beginning of their romantic relationship.

Kane tried to get the Championship back but failed to do so in a Last Man Standing match on the first SmackDown episode of 2011.

From TLC on, Pandora's flower was golden to go with Edge's Championship. Also, she and Edge were very open about their relationship now that it was official and out in the open. Pandora was happier than she ever expected to be, especially with a human (since she was the daughter of a demon who despised the species), and Edge started to call her "Pani", a nickname that Pandora bore with loving pride. Down in Hell, Lacti was not thrilled that Pandora was romantically linked to a human, even if it was Edge; Undertaker was just glad that his daughter was happy.
