Raw: August 31, 2009

I will admit it. I am scared. Kane attacked people that I'm close to on Tuesday. Cody has bruised ribs, but we haven't seen Kane since. Randy has barely let me out of his sight. I heard Kane's voice coming from our locker-room suddenly. Randy heard it too and pulled me to his chest. We exchanged a look and listened in on what was going on.

"Kelly," Kane comments. "I took on a lot of people. Okay? We will have them all off guard, so you can take Marissa's championship from her. Then, you will help the rest of us get what we want."

"Okay." Kelly answers.

"Listen, Kelly." Miz joins the conversation. "We will all get what we want. Listen to Kane."

"You just want Marissa anyway. You just want to sabotage her relationship with Randy and hope that she might give you the time of day."

"You want Randy. How's that any different?"

"Randy doesn't think I'm a creep, and I've slept with him before. Marissa is literally appalled by you."

"I can change her mind."

Randy looks at me. "I'm gonna beat Miz's ass."

I nod. "I won't stop you this time. Just so you know, I'll handle Kelly."

"Got it. Let's head to my locker-room."

We found Dusty in Legacy's locker-room. He greeted Randy and me.

"Hi, Dusty. Could you give me a match?" I ask.

"Against who?" Dusty asks me. "I don't mind giving you a match."

"Kelly."

This catches Eve's attention from caring for Cody. "Why?"

Randy explains what we overheard. "She's scheming with Miz and Kane. They're after both of our championships and our relationship.

"That bitch!" Michelle exclaims from where she sits with John.

"You can have the match." Dusty tells me.

"Thanks, Dream." I smile.

"No problem."

I grab Michelle. "Let's tell Kelly. I have words for her."

"Right there with you." Michelle goes to follow me.

"Be careful." Randy tells us.

"We will."

We go to our locker-room. Kelly is in there alone.

"Kelly," I smile at her. "We have a match tonight."

Kelly gives me a fake smile. "We're teaming together?"

Michelle smirks. "No, you're facing each other."

Kelly's jaw drops. "Why?"

"She asked, and Dusty said yes."

Kelly looks at me. "What the hell, Rissa?"

"That nickname is only used by my friends." I respond.

"We're friends."

"Not anymore."

"Why?"

"You're a lying bitch."

"Why would you think that?" Kelly gives me a dirty look.

"Because you, Miz, and Kane had a conversation that I easily overheard. You guys really should be a lot more careful."

"There's others too. Not just me, Miz, and Kane." Kelly goes to walk out, but she turns around. "See you in the ring."

Holla

So all my girls in the back say hoo

'Cause you know just how we do

Side to side, and front to back

If you ain't taking that

(Holla)...

"This is a Divas match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Jacksonville, Florida, Kelly Kelly!"

I know I want that girl so bad

I lie awake at night

And think of all the things that I would do

With a girl like that…

"Introducing her opponent, from Saint Louis, Missouri, the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

I throw Kelly to the ground. She tries to get away, but I drag her back. She tries to kick me. I catch her foot. I kick her. I throw her into the turnbuckle. Kelly falls down. I grab her and decide to hit her with the Picture Perfect. I pin her.

1...2...kickout!

I let out a groan of frustration. Kelly kicks me in the gut. She goes to kick me, but I stop her. I push her back and give her a huge slap. Kelly grabs my hair and throws me into the turnbuckle. She throws me over the top rope. I fall on the concrete. She laughs. I get up on the apron. She goes to hit me; I block her. I jump over the ropes and kick her. She falls over. I go to the corner and give her a punt kick. I pin her.

1...2...3!

"Here is your winner, the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

I grab Kelly by her hair. "Want my championship and boyfriend now?"

She doesn't say anything.

"Thought so."

I walk out of the ring with a smirk. I was still a bit on edge, but Kelly was the one part of this issue that I could take care of on my own if necessary. However, I knew I'd need to rely on Randy, as well as Ted and Cody, to help take care of Kane, Miz, and some of the supposed others involved in this. I wasn't one to believe in conspiracy theories, but it was almost like Randy and I were being deliberately targeted.

I walk around backstage with a bit of an arrogant attitude. People stare at me. I love a good victory, and Kelly had this coming. I turn to see Miz staring at me angrily. I start to walk away, but he grabs my arm.

"Going somewhere?" Miz asks as he gets in my face.

"Away from you." I remark as I give him a dirty look.

"Not if I have anything to do with it."

Miz leans in to kiss me again, but I slap him with the hand on my free arm.

Miz lets go of my arm and holds his cheek. "You bitch!"

Randy walks up. "Is he causing more problems, babe?"

"Don't worry about it." I smile at Randy. "I think I've got it taken care of."

Randy turns to Miz and sees my handprint on his face.

Randy starts laughing. "Okay I see that."

Before Miz can make anymore comments, Randy and I walk away and towards Catering.

"Listen, be careful out there tonight." I tell Randy. "I know it's a Three on One Handicap match, but I feel like this is a situation you can't be too careful about."

"I'll be careful. This needs to be done though. I can't just let him and whoever else is involved in this keep doing this, especially with him terrorizing you and the girls like he did last Tuesday."

"I know. Will you promise me something?"

"Sure, what do you want me to promise?"

"Promise me that you won't give him that WWE Championship match that is supposedly why he's doing this. Don't give him what he wants because he's terrorizing me. It's not right. Plus, giving into someone's demands isn't something you do."

"I promise you I won't give into the demands."

"Good. Good luck out there." I kiss Randy's cheek.

"I've got John and Ted. I'm not sure I need luck."

"Take it anyway. Just win the match, Randy. Do whatever it takes."

"Believe me, I'll do whatever it takes and then some to get a message across to Kane. I got this. Okay?"

"Okay."

I hear voices in my head

They council me

They understand

They talk to me…

"This is a Three on One Handicap match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing Legacy, Ted DiBiase and Randy Orton!"

Randy grabs a microphone. "Cody was supposed to be in this match, but Kane bruised his ribs last week. Therefore, we did what we had to do and temporarily put some differences aside and found a replacement."

Your time is up, my time is now

You can't see me, my time is now

It's the franchise, boy I'm shinin now

You can't see me, my time is now!..

John runs out and throws his hat into the crowd. Randy hands him the microphone.

"Kane, I know you have your issues with Mr. Orton over here, but that doesn't give you the right to threaten Marissa. I know Randy and I are rivals and he injured me, but we can work together with Ted as well to protect her, as well as whatever other Divas you may decide to terrorize, and ensure this doesn't happen again." John drops the microphone.

("Man on Fire" Plays)

"And their opponent, Kane!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Ted starts the match with Kane. I sit backstage with the girls and Cody to watch.

Ted hits Kane with a Dropkick, but Kane doesn't fall. Ted Clotheslines Kane, and Kane falls. Ted stomps on his arm. Kane then gets up and grabs Ted's neck.

"Oh shit!" Maryse yells.

Kane Chokeslams Ted and goes for a pin.

1…

Randy breaks the pin. Ted crawls to the corner and tags John. John hits an Attitude Adjustment immediately and then locks in the STF.

"That's my man." Michelle comments.

"Cena's doing great." Cody adds.

Kane gets out of the submission. He hits John with a Big Boot. Kane then picks John up and hits a Tombstone Piledriver. Kane pins John.

1…

Randy breaks the pin. Kane tries to go after Randy, but Ted tags in and attacks Kane. They go back and forth with Right Hands. Ted Dropkicks Kane and goes for a pin.

1...2...kickout!

Kane gives John and Ted hard punches, but when Kane went after Randy, he was blocked. Ted hits Kane with a Leg Sweep, and then, Ted tags in Randy. Randy attacks Kane with a Thesz Press. Randy kept on punching Kane. The referee had to pull Randy off of Kane. Kane got up and grabbed Randy's throat.

"No!" Eve shouts. "Randy was on a roll!"

Kane goes for another Chokeslam, but, somehow, Randy counters it and hits the RKO.

"Yes!" I yell as my eyes remain focused on the screen.

Randy goes for the pin.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners, Ted DiBiase, John Cena, and Randy Orton!"

As they raise their arms in victory, the Miz and three people dressed as druids attacked them. I stood up and anxiously looked at the girls and Cody.

"You'll have the best chance to fight them off." Cody comments. "I am in no condition to go."

Maryse and Michelle stand up.

"We're going too. Our boyfriends are out there too." Michelle tells me sternly. "Plus, all of us girls are allies on TV. It wouldn't hurt."

"Okay." I nod in agreement. "Let's go."

We start towards the guerilla. Two other people dressed as druids go after us. Michelle and Maryse quickly intervene and hold them off.

"Go!" Maryse yells to be. "That out there is your fight!"

I run through the curtains to help fight off the druids that were after the guys, but I get attacked from behind. I rolled down the ramp, and I looked up and saw my attacker. It was Kelly.

Kelly pulled me up by my hair and threw me into the barricade. Kelly got in my face and slapped me.

Kelly laughed at me. "You're really pathetic, Marissa. Who would've thought the ever so respected Marissa could be taken down so easily?"

I knew at that moment that I couldn't let her get to me like this and get away with it.

Kelly went for another slap, but I blocked her and kicked her in the gut.

I threw Kelly into the announcer's table. "Bitch."

I saw she was out cold and went after the druid fighting Ted.

"Why are you out here?" Ted asks with concern as I help him.

"To help. This my problem too." I say as I hit the druid with a Clothesline.

"Randy won't be happy about this once he notices you."

"This is just as much my problem as it is his. Plus, Randy knows I hate being essentially a damsel in distress. Maryse and Michelle were going to come too."

Ted throws the druid into the barricade. "Where are they?"

"Fighting off two druids that came after us backstage." I hit the druid with a chair.

The chair shot knocks the druid out cold.

Ted gives me a stern look. "I'll go help the girls then. You help these two."

"Randy won't be happy with you leaving me alone, ya know?" I smirk at Ted. "I'll explain it to him."

"Thanks, Rissa. I owe you."

"Yes, you do." I comment before Ted runs backstage.

I run over to help Randy with Miz. Miz smirks and lunges at me. I avoid Miz, but I trip and fall onto the ground. Randy hits Miz with a chair and offers me his hand. I take it and let Randy help me up.

Randy looks at me curiously. "Why are you out here? I told you to stay in the back."

"Chelle, Ryse, and I thought you guys needed help." I answer. "Plus, you know I'm not very fond of just being a damsel in distress."

Randy nods. "I know. Where are the other girls at? And Ted?"

"Fighting off a couple druids backstage. Ted went to help."

"Oh." Randy looks at me. "Go. Kane is approaching."

I move off to the side. Randy and Kane are going at it. I don't notice a druid behind me. The hand of the druid wrapped around my mouth.

I noticed the druid. I started elbowing it and let out a yell. Randy noticed and went after the druid. Kane ran after Randy as the druid let me go. I wasn't allowing Randy to get hurt.

I grabbed a chair and smacked the druid with it. The druid falls to its knees. I hit it again, and the druid fell to the ground. I start walking away. I notice Kane approaching me. I was scared, but then I saw Randy behind him. Randy turned Kane around and hit him with a RKO. John and Randy work together and take out the rest of them before grabbing me to head backstage.

We walk backstage. Ted and the girls had taken out those other druids, and they, along with John, left Randy and I alone. Randy grabs me and pulls off to the side of a hallway.

"Why'd you go out there?" Randy asks sternly. "I'm not trying to be an ass, but you could've gotten hurt."

"You guys were at a disadvantage, and I felt like I needed to help. I know you told me to stay in the back, but this is my fight too." I respond. "I hate being a damsel in distress, which is exactly how I feel, and I thought I could help you."

"I wish it wasn't your fight too. This is Kane's fault. He had to threaten you." Randy punches the wall.

I grab his hand. "Miz wants me as well, Randy, and Kelly wants you and my WWE Women's Championship. It isn't just Kane that makes this my fight. I don't plan on backing down from this fight. I am going to fight them one way or another, and I need you with me."

"I know, Rissa. We need each other. Kelly doesn't even know what she's gotten herself into with you. You're a McMahon and a three time Women's Champion. You always overcome your obstacles. You overcame a seven month injury and came back even better."

"Thanks for the injury by the way." I joke.

"I'm sorry for that."

"I'm just teasing."

"I know. As I was saying, you always overcome your obstacles. You are a very strong woman, and most of the male locker-room even respects you for it. You lead the Divas Division. I don't even know how I ended up getting to call you mine. I am so lucky to have you."

"I am lucky to have you too, Randy. You could've gotten anyone you wanted, and you picked me. I want you, babe. I might be a very strong woman, as you put it, but I know I need to rely on someone sometimes. You are the person I know I can rely on. I couldn't even physically express how much I appreciate that."

Randy smiles and brushes my hair back. Our lips connect. He pins me against the wall. I would usually tell Randy to wait until we're at the hotel, but I didn't care right now. I was emotional, and I needed my man. My family could walk down the hall, and I still wouldn't care at the moment. His hands roamed to my butt. He deepens the kiss as I put my hands on his back. I let out a quiet moan.

Randy releases the kiss. "I will finish what I started at the hotel. You remember that."

"Got it."

We walk to his locker-room. The others look at us. I look awkwardly at the floor as I can tell my makeup is definitely a little messed up.

"We're innocent." Randy comments.

"Not in John Laurinaitis's eyes." Ted jokes.

"He isn't innocent himself." I responded. "I'm happy that he's fired. I gave that info to my family with no regrets."

"He's fired for now at least."
