Chapter Nine – The Insider
Impact Zone, Orlando, FL
"That's great dad," LC said to her father as Hunter told her that he had ended things with Kelly Kelly over the phone, "can we talk about this later there's something I gotta take care of before Cameron comes home from Texas,"
"Sure honey, call me back later," Hunter replied.
LC was currently standing in the Impact Zone where nobody could see her. She was watching her mom celebrate Tristen's marriage to Cheyenne and she had heard something that would soon shatter any hope her father had of reconciling with her, at least for the time being.
"Now that Tristen and Cheyenne are married we can move onto the next phase of the plan," Kevin Nash said to Joanie who along with Sean Waltman and Scott Hall were having a private conversation about DX and the WWE in the middle of the ring.
"Garrett Calloway just called to say the plan is going ahead and now we've got our first defector in Kelly Kelly, it won't be long before other WWE employees turn against DX and it will all be to my son and my advantage," Tristen said.
"Sounds like I made the right choice coming back to you Sean," Chyna said to Waltman.
"You sure did Joanie, let the Kelly Kelly's of this world run DX into the ground, this is one fight Shawn and Hunter will not win," he said and Joanie kissed Sean while LC watched in disgust.
She unsheathed her Ax of Judgment and headed down the ring taking her mother and the Kliq by surprise.
"LC, what are you doing here?!" Joanie said in shock when she saw her daughter, the other members of the Kliq were more afraid of the Ax in her daughter's hand.
"I was wondering the same thing about you mom, just when daddy thought things were getting better I discovered things were about to get a lot worse. You're planning to take DX down and you're making out with your ex-boyfriend, is there anything else I should know before I execute judgment on you?" LC asked her mother.
"LC put down that Ax!" Sean Waltman said.
"I will put it down XPac and when I do my mom won't be able to kiss you anymore," LC said.
"What does she mean by that?" Scott Hall asked Joanie.
"Shut up Scotty," Joanie said.
LC straightened her arm so that her Ax reached out in front of her, then she raised it above her head.
"Before I execute this judgment I give you one more chance to repent; either you come home with me right now or you stay here and violate your marriage vows with Sean Waltman. What's it gonna be mom, judgment or repentance?" LC asked her mother who shrugged.
"This is bigger than me and your father LC, this is about the Kliq, this is about me doing what I know is right. I have to leave Hunter in order for the Kliq to survive and if you were smart you'd leave it too," Joanie said and LC put her Ax down at the mention of Cameron's name.
"Why would I leave Cameron?" she asked.
"The Michaels' men are no good, Shawn's proven that by how he's treating Amy. They have no idea how to treat the women they claim to love and you'd be a fool to marry into that bloodline. I've been trying to stop you from marrying Cameron for years but you won't listen, so you've left me with no choice. If you won't leave I will and there's nothing you can do to stop me," Joanie said and LC shook her head and extended her Ax again.
"That's where you're wrong mom I can do something about it," she said and she raised her Ax high up in the air but Cameron raced into the Impact Zone before she could bring it down.
"LC wait!" Cameron cried out. "I just found out something about Tristen and Cheyenne,"
"Cameron I have to do this you can tell me about it afterwards," LC said and Cameron told her what he found out from his father. "Really? Wow that's great but I still have to execute this judgment," LC said and Cameron looked at Joanie.
"If you fear God at all you'll repent and leave with us and go back to Jamaica right now," Cameron said to her but Joanie shook her head.
"I fear the Kliq," she said and Cameron watched as LC executed judgment on her mother. As the Ax came down God spoke and the Kliq watched as Joanie fell to her knees and couldn't get up.
"Joanie Helmsley I hereby find you guilty and in need of judgment. Lord what judgment shall I pronounce?" LC asked God and the Lord told LC what judgment to pronounce and she declared it so that her mother could hear it. "Mom since you are in violation of the court order to remain in Jamaica you will now be held in contempt of court by Judge T. Hartmann and sent back to Los Angeles and jailed immediately for the next three months,"
Suddenly the FBI arrived out of nowhere and arrested Joanie for being in violation of the court order. The Kliq watched as Joanie was taken out of the Impact Zone and they looked back at LC in dread. She raised her Ax of Judgment and looked directly at Kevin, Sean and Scott.
"Whatever trouble you guys plan on making I strongly suggest you rethink it because if you don't I will execute judgment on all of you," she said and she left with Cameron while the Kliq fought to believe they had just watched LC carry out judgment on her own mother. To LC that was nothing, telling her father what Joanie had done to deserve judgment was the hard part.
"Kevin I'm seriously rethinking this plan of yours," Sean Waltman said. "I do fear God and I don't want to be judged, count me out man,"
"Will you calm down Waltman? LC wouldn't be so tough without that Ax, Cheyenne lost her Gift from God, all we have to do is make sure LC loses her Gift too," Kevin Nash said.
"And how are we going to do that?" Scott Hall asked.
"Simple; we take it from her, or we find someone who will," Kevin replied and he started lining up candidates who would be able to steal LC's beloved Ax of Judgment. The sooner the ARK Angels of DX were disbanded the easier it would be for Cheyenne to start her new life as Mrs. Tristen Nash without her former cherubic comrades getting in the way.
"Whatever you got in mind better work," Scott Hall said. "I hate going up against Shawn and Hunter like this,"
"I know this isn't easy guys but it'll all work out trust me," Kevin Nash assured Sean and Scott who refused to come to Tristen's wedding because it was at Shawn's old home.
"I may have missed the wedding but I hope Tristen enjoys the honeymoon," Scott Hall said.
"Oh I'm sure he will, if Cheyenne's anything like her mother he'll enjoy it more than once," Kevin Nash said, to him the honeymoon was more important than the wedding.
The next day at Patrick's house in Kingston, Jamaica it was all over the news that Joanie Helmsley had been arrested and thrown in jail for violating a court order to remain in Jamaica. While it came as no surprise to the Ortons Hunter couldn't believe it. Cameron had already filled Shawn and Amy in on the details and while LC was trying to explain it to Hunter she couldn't get his attention.
"A visual aid might help LC," Trish said and LC pulled out her Ax of Judgment.
"Dad this is how mom ended up in jail okay? I pronounced judgment on her," LC explained and Hunter was furious.
"You executed judgment on your own mother? How could you do that!" Hunter asked horrified.
"Because I had to she was about to do something God would not like and I can't be partial when it comes to God's commandments," LC said and Hunter frowned.
"What was she going to do, lie?" Hunter asked.
"No," LC replied.
"Murder?" Hunter asked.
"No," LC replied.
"Take the Lord's name in vain?" Hunter asked.
"No," LC replied.
"Did she forget the Sabbath?" Hunter asked.
"No dad," LC said.
"Then which commandment did she break?" he asked his daughter.
"She didn't break any dad but she was going to, if I didn't do this she would have and the judgment would have been a lot worse," LC said.
"So by you getting her arrested you were saving her life," Hunter said and LC nodded. "But I need her LC, I have no choice now I have to go and see her,"
"Hunter you can't do that," Stephanie said. "You cannot be in violation of the court order too, can't you stay away from Joanie for three months?"
"No I can't Stephanie I love her. I'm sorry if I'm not like you and Jeff who can just fly in and out of the country whenever you want to, I didn't get that Gift from God okay? I'm confined to the ground," Hunter said.
"Is that why you're always acting like a jackass?" Shawn asked Hunter who looked at him in disapproval.
"How dare you verbally abuse me in front of the non-Kliq members," Hunter said.
"You broke up with Kelly Kelly over the phone, only a jackass would do that," Shawn replied.
"But we weren't even really dating," Hunter said.
"But she thought you liked her, you could have at least humored her for a bit longer. Now all she wants to do is get back at you for what you did," Amy said.
"She was great at running errands, you think I could get her to come back here and go to the store for me?" Hunter said and Shawn and Amy rolled their eyes at their bonehead friend.
"Randy how bad is it really?" Stephanie asked TKO.
"Its real bad Stephanie; thanks to Hunter Kelly's decided to side with Garrett Calloway instead of getting him to side with us against Tristen Nash," Randy said.
"Great so now I've got to convince her that Hunter's not a bonehead and that he didn't really mean to hurt her feelings, that is not going to be easy to do," Stephanie said.
"Actually Stephanie it's probably best if you don't confront Kelly at all about this. She is really mad and she will hurt you physically if you try to defend what Hunter did," Trish said and Stephanie balked.
"But she's one of our top Divas I can't afford to lose her!" Stephanie said and Hunter raised an eyebrow.
"She's not your Diva she's my Diva and don't worry we won't lose her, I know she still likes me and if she likes me she'll like anything that came from me. LC that's where you come in, why don't you go see Kelly and tell her what a great person I am?" Hunter said.
"I would dad but then I'd have to use the Ax of Judgment on myself," LC replied and Hunter frowned.
"Why?" he asked.
"Well I'd be lying, fortunately for you there's no law against being a bonehead," LC said and Stephanie laughed at Hunter's look of disdain.
"This is not funny people, we've already lost Cheyenne we can't lose Kelly Kelly too. I need to talk to some of our other Divas, maybe they can talk me up," Hunter said.
"I guess I could talk to Angelina and Velvet, they still haven't lost hope in you, maybe they can convince Kelly to come back to us," Stephanie said. "That's a good idea don't you think guys?"
The Ortons nodded, "We think that's a really good idea and we know that Angelina and Velvet would be willing to help," Randy said. They knew that Angelina and Velvet were about to get a good excuse to go see Kelly Kelly.
Roderick Strong came outside to see everyone, his bruises from the Nash beat down were all healed up and he was eager to get back to see his Ring of Honor friends and warn them about Tristen. Shawn's face lit up as Roderick came over to them.
"Here's our secret weapon," Shawn said and he hugged Roderick.
"Who are you?" Stephanie asked not recognizing the young man.
"Isn't Jeff waiting for you in some forest somewhere? Go home Stephanie," Hunter said and Stephanie flew away, she'd been with the Kliq long enough for one day.
"Wow, do you talk to all your ex-wives like that?" Roderick asked Triple H.
"Yeah that's why his current wife is in jail," Amy said and Hunter scowled at her.
"Amy are you serious? Why is Chyna back in jail?" Roderick asked in shock.
"That's not important right now, the only thing you need to concern yourself with Roderick is being there for my daughter when she gets back from her honeymoon," Shawn said and Roderick sighed.
"Mr. Showstoppa sir, I think it's too late. Your daughter's married, why would she want to break up with the man that's going to make her a star?" Roderick said to Shawn.
"Cheyenne doesn't need Tristen to make her a star, that's not your concern anyway Roderick, all you should be thinking about is how sweet it would be to kiss my daughter and her for her to kiss you back," Shawn said and Roderick blushed.
"I never dreamed in million years I'd be talking to HBK about kissing his daughter," Roderick said.
"Well after the courage your showed in trying to break up that farce of a wedding in my home town if anyone deserves to kiss my daughter its you, you proved yourself worthy that night Roderick and I'm sure that Cheyenne will realize that when she's come to her senses about Tristen," Shawn said.
"When will she come to her senses?" Roderick said and Shawn smiled.
"A lot sooner than you think," Shawn replied and Hunter ran his fingers through Roderick's hair.
"I still say his hair is too short," Hunter said and Roderick looked at him in disgust.
"Never do that again," he said firmly.
"Nobody cares about what you think daddy," LC said.
"You shouldn't talk to your father like that LC, this man is a legend and you should have more respect for him than that," Roderick said.
"Great Shawn, not only does he have short hair but he's a suck up too, this guy can't be in the Kliq," Hunter said but that didn't matter to HBK.
"Yeah about that Hunter, there might not be a Kliq for much longer," Shawn said and Hunter laughed but Shawn was very serious.
"I don't think he realizes that you're not kidding," Amy said to Shawn who nodded.
"I know but he will," Shawn said. Randy told him what the Kliq had planned to do to the ARK Angels of DX and he wanted no part of them going forward.
Meanwhile back in the U.S Stephanie was flying over Connecticut when she saw Aurora and Jeff not flying far from her.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" she said catching up with them.
"We just got back from Florida, there's trouble over at the Copelands and Brooks homes," Jeff said.
"Edge and CM Punk? What happened?" Stephanie asked them.
"Tristen Nash told Kelly Kelly to approach Ravine Brooks for a tryout at Best in the World and she accepted. Obviously Punk and Velvet tried to talk her out of it but then Kelly Kelly said Hunter was a lousy boss and that he broke up with her over the phone and Ravine got mad and told her mother DX were lousy employers. Kelly Kelly said that Tristen was going to make Cheyenne a star and that he would do the same to Ravine and Angelica. Then Garrett Calloway came and he put some kind of spell on Ravine and she left with him. Angelica went after her then Kelly Kelly and Velvet Sky got into fight and Edge and Punk are trying to calm everyone down. Its chaos in Tampa right now," Aurora explained.
"So where are you guys going?" Stephanie asked them.
"We're going to see Taker, we have to tell him that Garrett is still working with Tristen Nash," Jeff said.
"No guys don't do that, we have to convince Kelly Kelly to come back to us and when we do that Garrett will listen to her and get him to side with us against Tristen again," Stephanie said.
"You go talk to Kelly mom, if we all go it will look like we're ganging up on her," Aurora said.
"No I can't it has to be you two, the Ortons said she'll get physical with me and since I'm CEO that would be a bad thing," Stephanie said and Aurora and Jeff exchanged weary glances.
"We're no good with Divas, we're gonna need a little help," Jeff said.
"I know just the guy, come on let's go see Marion Cena and make sure he's not got a date for this evening," Aurora said and they flew to New York City while Stephanie flew to Florida to see the People Formerly Known as Beautiful and help them with their domestic situation. What Stephanie didn't know was that Alannah Pirelli and her goons were already taking care of it and when she did her actions would land yet another WWE legend in jail.
