Chapter 8:
*Battleground*
*No One's POV*
"Alright lads," Becky says to Finn and Baron, joining with them on the couch of the Corbin/Lynch household, "it's time for Battleground."
Dinner and drinks are prepared as they watch the Per Par View of the month.
The ring has the steel cage required by the Shield family. A war will end tonight. Members of the Wyatt family awaits for the family of the Shield with Zombie Artemia. Everyone cheers to the new version of Shield.
Roman leads the family out of the main entrance. Dean and Celosia joins with him along with Feronia and Benjamin. All hands on deck must get Artemia back home and no time for excuses. Especially when Roman needs to get the love of his life back.
A stare down between both teams made the atmosphere thick and instance. Celosia nods to the ref to start the war. The war does have a cage, but everyone knows anything is legal in this match. Ref rings the bell to begin!
Team Wyatt looks all around to see Team Shield climbing up the cage walls. Bray, Luke, and Erick guards Zombie Artemia, away from them. Roman's anger boils furiously in his blood, keeping his glare deadly directly at Bray. He's the one who stole his family away from him and he's going to pay for it.
Feronia and Benjamin teamed up into a person like team. They went after Luke Harper while Dean and Celosia gets over to Erick Rowan. Roman wants to destroy Bray Wyatt more than anything now.
Bray is keeping Zombie Artemia away from Roman. Back and forth Roman fights with them because Zombie Artemia thinks the Wyatt is her husband not the Shield member.
The Wyatts are surprisingly winning the war. It's like the Shield will not get Artemia back at all.
Just when Bray was about to perform Sister Abigail on Roman Reigns, new music of Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare plays when the lights went out. When the lights came back on, everything's shock to see the new team of Adrian Watts, Angel of Darkness, and Jasmine Corbin at three different corners on top of the cage. They stand up straight with their arms crossed on their chests and glaring at the members of the Wyatt Family.
Seeing them on top of the cage made Finn, Becky, and Baron really nervous. Especially when they jump down! The new team gets onto the mat without any problems and surrounds the enemy. Zombie Artemia is freaking out of the new team. She hides behind Bray for protection.
The wornout Shield members escape out of the cage with Roman in front of them. Adrian grabs Luke and attacks him. Angel mirror the action on Erick while Jasmine focuses on Bray. Zombie Artemia doesn't know what to do.
She tries to escape by climbing the cage wall. Angel sees this and drags her back down, resulting the living dead girl slamming face down on the mat. Jasmine and Adrian sees that and an idea formed in all of their minds.
One by one each Wyatt member gets thrown out of the cage through the ropes and open caged door. The idea spreads through the family. They begin to beat the living daylights out of each member by punches, kicks, and thrown into the barricades, steel stairs, pretty much everything in their path.
Roman wants to get his wife more than anything now, but when he is about to get into the cage, Angel closes the door. Her intense eyes look at him, secretly telling him that they will get Artemia back. He nods his head and steps back, letting them to take care of it.
Jasmine has her back to the screen, pointing to her next victim. Zombie Artemia. Her fingers motion for her to come over to her. She tries to escape, but Adrian grabs her from behind. Angel holds her as well. Zombie Artemia struggles to break free while they get her in position on the other side of the ring.
The little owl is on the other side, looking deadly at the living dead girl. Using both of her wings, she motions for them to bring the terrified zombie to her. Angel and Adrian processed. Jasmine performs the End of Days to get Artemia Reigns out of the control.
The moment when the two went down to the mat, lights went out and images appeared. Lights turn on. Wyatt Family is gone and Artemia's skin tone returns to normal! Artemia awakens from the long time control.
"What's going on?" she mumbles, feeling an unfamiliar pain.
"Shh shh," Jasmine gently shushes her. "We'll explain everything backstage."
"Jasmine?" she's confused of the owl's presence.
Jasmine motions for Roman's presence. He quickly gets into the ring to pick his rather confused, almost like half asleep wife bridal style. The familiar warmth finally reunites with the coldness that it has been waiting for a long time.
Everyone watches with the chant of yes when the Shield music plays. Roman carries her to backstage with the family surrounding them.
"Thank you," Roman softly says to the team. "Thank you so much," he's on the verge of crying happy tears.
"You're welcome Joe," Adrian says with a soft smile.
"She might be out of it for a couple of days," Jasmine steps in. "So let her relax and no loud noises or anything."
"Okay thank you."
They nod their heads and leave.
