Chapter 16

Jeff arrived at the arena and was shocked to see people looking at him with concern. He wasn't scheduled to wrestle tonight so there was no reason for anyone to be worried, unless it wasn't him they were worried about. He sucked in a breath and then ran towards Matt's dressing room hoping he would get there before Matt had to head down to the ring.

Matt looked over as his door flew open. He frowned when he saw Jeff standing there looking at him.

"Whose with Jordan and Lita?" Matt asked walking towards him.

"No one needs to be with them. Jordan pointed out that they can take care of themselves." Jeff said with a shrug. "What's going on Matt? What's your match tonight?"

"You really don't want to know." Matt said with a sigh.

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know." Jeff said as he threw his gear down. "I'm going to need the gear aren't I?"

"Yeah I think you might need it. I am taking on Shawn Michaels and Kane." Matt said.

"Handicap match?" Jeff asked his eyes wide.

"According to the script it is a handicap match unless you show up and want to wrestle." Matt said shrugging his shoulders.

"So here I am." Jeff said grabbing his bag up again. "Let me get changed then."

Jordan and Lita snuck into the arena with smirks on their faces. Technically they weren't supposed to be there but they both had bad feelings about tonight. They glanced around and then snuck into the Hardy dressing room. They both knew that the guys had already headed down towards the ring. They took a seat on the couch, in their wrestling gear, and watched the monitor. It was going to hard staying put but they both knew they would only head out there if they were really needed.

Jeff stood next to Matt at the top of the entrance ramp. Both of them were really nervous and they had ever right to be. This match was about to the worse one either of them had ever wrestled in.

Their opponents Kane and Shawn Michaels were already in the ring when they got there and from the looks on their faces there was a twist to this match that they didn't know anything about. Jeff and Matt both looked at each other and nodded miserably. Tonight was going to be an awfully long night and neither one of them was ready for what was going to happen.

Jordan and Lita sat at the kitchen table drinking coffee and staring at each other. Jordan had filled Lita in on what she knew and they were both extremely worried about the guys. Although they both felt better they knew heading out to where RAW was being tapped would only make matters worse for everyone including themselves. Whatever was going down tonight, they had to hope that the guys could handle it all without their help.

Jeff stared at Kane who was on the outside with him. Matt and Shawn were going at it in the ring and Jeff was trying to keep one eye on the action and the other on the tag partner. He gulped when he heard the crowd gasp and knew that someone else was heading down towards the ring. This was about to become the worst night of their lives at the moment.

Vince walked down to the ring with a new wrestler who wasn't even named yet. The humongous guy was ready to make sure the Hardy boy's were on the injured list permanently.

Jeff turned his head behind him slightly and caught sight of who was making the crowd gasp and he quickly turned back towards the match. He was sorry that he had looked in the first place. He noticed Matt was in trouble and called out for him to tag him in. He stretched his hand out for his brother but it was no use, Matt couldn't get to him to make the tag. Shawn tagged Kane in and Jeff knew it was going to be all over as soon as Kane choked slammed Matt.

Matt and Jeff lost the match but the wrestling wasn't over. The big man climbed into the ring with Vince and although Jeff was desperately trying to get his brother out, it was no use. Kane, Shawn and the new guy surrounded them and started pounding them into the mat. Jeff felt some of his old injuries start to spring back to life and immediately regretting letting Jordan talk him into returning, at the same time he was glad she had because otherwise Matt would be taking more than he already was. Jeff groaned as he heard a snap and knew something was broken, he just wasn't sure if it was him or Matt that had broken something.

Vince watched with a smirk on his face as the Hardy Boy's became the beaten and bloody mess lying in a heap in the middle of the ring. He laughed as he heard the sound of bones breaking and then frowned when security attempted to intervene. He knew that technically he should end this now with the boy's looking so bad, but he enjoyed the scene in front of him. Sighing he signaled for the three men to stop and they all left the ring amongst the boos from the crowd.

Jeff woke up in the back of the ambulance on the way to the hospital and felt the sharp pain shooting throughout his body. He groaned, his first night back and already he was most likely going to end up back on the injured list, this really sucked. His mind wondered to Jordan and he winced again as he realized that she was going to want to hurt him for this. He felt the pain getting sharper and quickly passed out.

Jordan sat beside Jeff's bed with an angry scowl on her face. So these guys wanted to play rough did they? She felt the anger rising even more and quickly got to her feet and met Lita out in the hallway. She could tell that Matt was in no better condition then Jeff and the two women nodded at each other.

"Sometimes it's got to be handled by a woman." Jordan said simply with Lita's nod of approval. It was time to make sure that Team Extreme took over and they were going to get even no matter what it took to do so.
