Chapter 30: Rivalries Continue
It was the next week and despite what had happened the week before, everyone was all smiles. Angel's flashbacks had not lead to nightmares as it usually did and as for Charlotte, Angel had decided that everyone was right. She had no right to talk about Angel's past like she knew about it and even though Taker hadn't been there for her as a child, he was there now and that was what really mattered. Although, she was still looking forward to sending the second generation Diva on an extremely bumpy one-way trip to hell. She knew that she also had Kristy to back her up on this, although Kristy hadn't told anyone her reasons behind being so angry at Charlotte. After everyone got all settled in in the locker room, Angel pulled Kristy into the hallway and closed the door behind them. She figured that if Kristy didn't want anyone else to know, that was alright, but she at least wanted to know where her best friend was coming from on this.
"OK, girl, you need to fess up. What is your beef with Charlotte? Last week, all you said was that you had your reasons for it. If you don't want anyone else to know, that's fine, but don't leave me in the dark on this one. What's up?" Angel said.
"Remember how Charlotte said we only got here because of our family names?" Kristy said.
"Yeah, I do. In an odd way, it's the pot calling the kettle black. So…what's that got to do with anything?" Angel said.
"Well, it kind of stung me the wrong way" Kristy said.
"Why? Is it because we don't do that too or because Charlotte is talented enough that she doesn't need to?" Angel asked.
"Because she's talented and doesn't need to" Kristy said.
"I see your point there. Are you sure the Hart/Flair history doesn't play into it somehow? I mean, you know all about what her Dad said about Bret. That he was never a draw anywhere and could never sell out arenas and all that. Which, might I add is complete bull crap" Angel said.
"Some of that, but not all" Kristy answered.
"So? What else is going on in your head when it comes to Charlotte? Whatever it is you can tell me and I won't say anything" Angel told her.
"I don't know really. There's just something about her that rubs me the wrong way. Ever since she won the NXT Women's Title, her attitude has changed and not for the better. Therefore, I'm backing you up on this weather you like it or not" Kristy said.
"Not that I don't appreciate the help, Kristy. I'm glad you have my back in this…but what about the title? Shouldn't that be your top priority and not me?" Angel asked.
"Right now, I want to put that bitch in her place" Kristy said.
"OK. Believe me, you're not alone there. If the NXT Women's Title went to her head, I'd hate to see what happens if she gets this one" Angel said.
"I don't see that happening. Not as long as we're around. I told her if she beat you, she had a shot, remember?" Kristy said.
"Yeah. I remember" Angel said.
"Since I don't see her beating you, I don't have anything to worry about" Kristy said.
"I don't know about that. She is good. It's this whole "I'm the Queen and you're all beneath me" thing that I don't like" Angel said.
"How about we knock the Queen off her throne?" Kristy said.
"Sounds like a plan" Angel answered.
The two of them made a pinkie swear. Then they walked back into the locker room. Angel went and changed first, knowing full well Charlotte was going to the ring again this week. Once Angel finished changing, Kristy went into the bathroom. Wyatt climbed up on the couch and sat beside her. Lea sat on her other side. Angel laughed. Just then, Dean and Roman walked in. both of them were still angry about what had happened last week, with Seth selling out and jumping on board with the Authority and Angel could tell they had stewed about it all week. Dean was just about to ask where Kristy was when she stepped from the washroom.
"Hey, you two. Still stewing I see" Kristy said.
"How could they not? Having someone you thought was your friend backstab you sucks. And I speak from personal experience" Angel reminded her.
"Yeah. True" Kristy said.
"What about you? Are you alright, kiddo?" Dean asked Angel, sounding concerned.
"Don't worry about me, you guys. I'm fine" Angel said.
"But after last week…" Roman started.
"I'm good" Angel said.
"Are you sure?" Dean asked.
"I'm fine, Dean. Really. I'm not going to deny what she said because in a way, sadly, it's true. Daddy wasn't there. And Mom wasn't there either. But I also know that it wasn't their choice. If they could have been there, they would have. Besides, Daddy's here now. And so is Mom, in her own way, at least. That's all that matters to me" Angel said.
"At least Angel was wanted. Me on the other hand" Kristy said.
Roman and Dean nodded, but didn't ask anything more about what Kristy meant. They all sat down and waited for the show to start. When it did, Charlotte came to the ring accompanied by her father. She didn't look happy, but she didn't look angry either. She walked up the steps and stepped through the ropes. Then she asked for a microphone. The fans booed. Charlotte spoke loud enough to make herself heard over them.
"So, it seems as though there are two peasants here who seem to think it's OK to disrespect your Queen. Dead Girl, Hart Princess, get out to this ring right now" Charlotte said.
Back in the locker room, Angel and Kristy looked at each other. Then they looked around. Everyone was staring at them with a look that clearly told them to go out there and put Charlotte in her place. They nodded and stood up. Kristy strapped on the Diva's Title. Angel gave Lea a hug and headed for the door without her overcoat. The two of them walked quickly to Gorilla Position where Vince gave them the go-ahead. Kristy went out first. She walked down the ramp and waited. A second later, Angel's music hit and she came out. When she got to the bottom of the ramp, Kristy slid into the ring. Angel walked up the steps and turned the lights back on. Then she stepped through the ropes. Both girls asked for microphones too.
"Took you long enough. Last week, you two were talking to me like I was some sort of peasant…some sort of commoner like you two are. From now on, you will address me as Her Majesty and you will bow down to me. After all, I have Royal blood running through my veins" Charlotte said.
"First of all, Charlotte, I will not be addressing you as Her Majesty and I will not bow down to you. I bow down to no one" Angel snapped.
"As for me, well, I bow to no one either, so she's not alone on that one and you can forget about that whole "addressing you as Her Majesty" thing because there is no way in hell I'm doing that. As for Royal Blood? It's more like cheater blood. At least my Dad doesn't come running to Vince to pay off his debt" Kristy said.
"Just because Daddy is a legend does not make you royalty, Charlotte" Angel said.
"Yeah, and that doesn't mean we bow to you either" Kristy said.
"You two are just jealous because I'm genetically superior. I'm wrestling royalty. And you two? Well, you're both nothing. Neither one of you belong in my kingdom. Get out" Charlotte said.
"Before this ring was your Kingdom, it was my yard. And right now, if anyone is a Queen, it's the one out of the three of us here that is holding the crown. As much as she doesn't want me to say that because unlike you, she has some humility and is smart enough to not let titles go to her head" Angel snapped, nodding at Kristy as she spoke.
"And before this ring was your Kingdom, it was my ring. My home. And this is my crown. My family alone has held more titles than your Daddy could ever wish to hold. And they did it with nothing but class and fair fighting" Kristy snapped.
"So it should be us telling you to leave, not the other way around. That is, unless you're stupid enough to try and throw us out of here yourself" Angel snapped.
Charlotte didn't say anything to that. Instead, Ric took the microphone from his daughter and stepped closer to Angel. Angel didn't back off. Meanwhile, over Ric's shoulder, Angel could see Charlotte smirking.
"I have a lot of respect for your father as a wrestler, Dead Girl, but I think he needs some help when it comes to you. He needs to wash your mouth out with soap a few thousand times because you are one of the mouthiest children I have ever met" he said.
Angel reacted by slapping Ric in the face for what he had said about her father. She knew she was going to be fined for that most likely, but she didn't care at that moment. She would pay it if she had to. Out of the corner of her eye, Angel could see that Kristy looked livid.
"Don't you stand there and tell me what my Daddy needs to do and not do! And for your information, I'm almost twenty-four years old and I'm a big girl who can handle herself" Angel snapped, glaring at him.
Kristy wasn't looking at Ric anymore. She was looking at Charlotte. She got right in Charlotte's face and punched her in the face knocking her flat on her back.
"That was for insulting my family, my best friend and I" Kristy snapped.
"I will see you at Money in the Bank, Charlotte. If you're lucky, you'll get a shot at Kristy's title afterward, but it's far more likely that you will Rest…in…Peace" Angel said.
They left the ring. As soon as they got back to the Gorilla Position, Stephanie McMahon was waiting for them. She was alone too, which was a bit of a relief. She looked happy as well. Before Angel could ask, she spoke.
"Alright, Angel, I'm making this official right now. It'll be you against Charlotte at Over the Limit. I talked it over with Hunter and he thinks it's a great idea. Unfortunately, Kristy, Hunter also told me to tell you that whoever wins gets the title shot" she said to them
"Wait…whoever wins?" Kristy asked.
"Sorry. If Angel wins, she gets the shot at the Diva's Title. Kristy, I should warn you, get ready for anything. I'm happy that you're Champion, but Hunter isn't. He'll do whatever he can to get that belt off you" Stephanie said.
Kristy just nodded, not trusting herself to speak. Angel said goodbye to Stephanie and took her friend back to the locker room as fast as she could. Everyone could see that Kristy looked upset.
"What happened, sweetheart?" Dean asked.
"Stephanie just told me whoever wins in Angel's match against Charlotte gets the title shot. So I could have to face Angel" Kristy said, tearing up.
"What's wrong with that?" Roman asked.
"She made me a promise once after she found me beaten that she'd never lay her hands on me. No matter what. You guys know that she won't even train with me right? That's why" Angel said.
"It was Hunter wasn't it?" Owen asked.
"Yeah. Stephanie said that while she likes Kristy as Champion, he doesn't" Angel said.
"What am I going to do?! I'm not going to ask Angel to lay down for that witch, but I can't face her! I won't do it!" Kristy said.
"Alright, Kris. It's alright. Bret, Owen and I will go and talk to Vince and see what he can do. The old man knows the rule about you and Angel, so we'll talk to him, OK?" Taker said, giving Kristy a hug.
"How does he know about it?" Kristy asked, looking up at him.
"Well, when you told us the story behind it, I went to him. I didn't say why you made the promise, but I told him that under no circumstances were you two to fight each other because you had promised Angel you wouldn't" Taker said.
"You…did that for us, Daddy?" Angel asked.
"Of course he did. Owen and I even made it doubly clear that you and Kristy were never to fight" Bret said.
"Really? Thanks you guys" Kristy said.
"Are you alright, Kristy?" Dean asked.
"I was. Until that happened" Kristy said.
"Don't worry, my Little Kristy, we'll get this fixed. Vince is the one person who can over turn what Hunter decides to do" Taker said.
"He's just trying to make you miserable by forcing you to do something you don't want to" Angel told her.
"That's Hunter. He's always hated us" Kristy said.
"Correction: he's always hated me" Bret said, "And he has no right to take it out on Kristy"
"He hates Uncle Owen too. He just won't admit it" Kristy said.
"That's true. He also knows that I'm not fond of him. Not after what happened to Bret" Owen said.
"I can't blame you there. It will be alright, Kristy. I'll fix this" Taker said.
"I'm still worried though. What if Vince can't get him to change his mind? Then what?" Kristy asked, feeling panicked.
"Then we have to go old school" was Taker's answer.
Kristy nodded, but she wasn't exactly sure what Taker meant. All she knew was that he must have already had a plan in mind in case Plan A didn't work. It was Lea that spoke next, breaking Kristy out of her thoughts.
"What do you mean, Daddy?" Lea asked, sounding more excited than Angel had heard in awhile.
"Yeah. Go old school how?" Wyatt said, looking excited.
"Wyatt, have you been watching Papa Taker's old matches and promos?" Kristy asked.
"Yeah. I'm sorry" Wyatt said.
"Both of us have" Lea said.
"That's why you two have been so tired lately. You've been staying up late watching Daddy's old matches and stuff" Angel said.
"Are you guys mad?" Lea asked.
"No. But if you want to watch my matches and things, just let me know. You don't have to sneak them in at night" Taker said.
"OK!" Lea and Wyatt said.
"So how are you going to go old school Papa Taker?" Wyatt asked.
"Tell us, Daddy!" Lea said.
"Mind games" Taker said.
"Just…be careful, Daddy. The last time you did mind games on Vince, it was when you kidnapped Steph and it almost drove him completely mad. So, be careful. If Vince goes mad then we'll really be in trouble. Hunter will be running the place permanently if that happens" Angel said.
"Yeah, so be easy on the whole scaring him thing, Uncle Taker" Kristy said.
"I just need to mess with his head a bit. And remember, that's a back up plan, if Vince can't get him to change his mind" Taker said.
"Hunter is stubborn though, so Vince might not be able to get through to him. I know Steph isn't happy with him. I can't see, but even I could tell that she wasn't happy with having to deliver his "message" to us. She seemed upset and angry" Angel said.
"That's because she thinks Hunter's ego is getting in the way of business and she knows it. And she's right. It is" Bret said.
"You're right" Kristy said.
Everyone nodded. Hunter's ego and his apparent hatred of the Harts was getting in the way of business and they all knew it. Roman and Dean stood up. They had to go to the ring to address what had happened with the Shield the week before. They looked at Angel and Kristy. The two girls just nodded. They knew Roman and Dean wouldn't let anything happen to them. Besides that, Seth now knew that his former best friends had done the one thing he advised them not to do. The four of them walked through the arena to the concourse level where they would enter through the crowd. Fans were milled there and they cheered when they saw the four of them. Kristy and Angel just turned around and waved at them and so did Dean and Roman.
Out in the arena, the Shield's music hit. The four of them headed down to the ring through the crowd. Roman held Angel's hand on the way down to make sure she didn't fall. Then he lifted her over the barricade. Angel could hear all of the male fans booing at him. She couldn't help but let a grin creep across her face. Dean and Roman climbed into the ring and Angel and Kristy slid in under the ropes. All four of them asked for microphones.
"Well, we all seem to be having our issues, don't we?" Roman said.
"No kidding. The Dead Girl and Kristy are dealing with a wannabe queen…." Dean said.
"Don't remind me. Please" Angel said, rolling her eyes.
"And…it turns out…you two had a complete traitor in your midst and didn't even realize it" Kristy said.
"Can we please not bring that up?" Dean said.
"We kinda have to. You two need to tell these good people what it is you're going to do about that slithering snake in the grass sell out named Seth Rollins" Angel said.
"Well, what are you going to do about the wannabe Queen, Dead Girl?" Dean asked.
"I said this earlier, but I am going to go to Money in the Bank and make her Rest…In…Peace…" Angel responded, "And when I do, she'll have to go to the back of the line and work her way to the front to get a shot at Kristy's title. Just like everyone else. That is, if she even knows what hard work is"
"Now, what are you going to do about the traitor?" Kristy asked.
"Simple. I'm going to rearrange Rollins' face!" Dean said.
"And once Seth is out of the way, the rest of the Authority is next!" Roman said.
"Just…do me a favor, OK? Don't hurt Kane and don't hurt Randy" Angel said.
"But they're part of it" Dean said.
"Kane is there because Hunter threatened to make things hard for Angel and the rest of her family and Randy's in there because he wants to protect Sara. They're not there because they want to be" Kristy said.
"Still standing up for Randy, huh?" Dean asked.
"Hey, calm down. There's nothing between her and Randy, Dean. They're friends is all. Trust me. We've both been friends with him since we started here. Besides that, he's married" Angel said.
"And Randy's always had our backs" Kristy said.
"Alright, alright, no hurting Kane and no hurting Orton" Roman said.
"And if Nikki Bella needs handling, I've got it" Kristy said.
"I almost forgot her and Cena were part of it" Dean said.
"What about me? What am I supposed to do?" Angel said.
"You've got Charlotte to worry about" Roman said.
"I'll handle Cena and Nikki Bella. Don't worry" Kristy said.
"Right. So it's settled. Seth, when we get hold of you, you're not going to like it. And once you're out of the way, we'll be taking care of the rest of the authority" Dean said.
"And the so called Queen of WWE…like I said, you're going to Rest…in…Peace. And when you do, you'll have to work for a title shot just like the rest of the Women in the WWE. And not even Daddy is going to be able to help you!" Angel said.
"Nikki, Cena, make a note. If you get involved in this at all, I will get you too" Kristy said.
Just then, Triple H's music hit and Hunter, Nikki, John, and Seth came out. Randy and Kane were noticeably absent from the group. Angel glared at Hunter. She wondered if maybe now that Seth was there, Hunter didn't need her Uncle anymore. She stepped forward, glaring at all of them.
"Well, well, look who it is. What do you want now? Have you come up with something else since the best plan you could come up with in your little mind didn't work and I'm still standing here in one piece?" Angel asked, "Or did the sellout, the whore, and the jackass have something to add?"
"Or maybe he wants to come out here so that everyone can see his giant hooter" Kristy said.
"Either that or he wants to stick his hooter in our business…as usual" Angel said.
"Actually, Dead Girl, I'm not out here to punish you anymore. That's over and done with. Seth does have a little bit of a bone to pick with the pathetic remnants of the Shield though and I'm sure Nikki and Cena would like to respond to what your little friend just said" Hunter said.
"You two lied to me. All those times I asked if there was anything going on, you lied" Seth snapped.
"Of course we did! You hate Angel. You hate Kristy. Do you think we'd be dumb enough to really tell you what the hell was going on?" Roman asked.
"And besides that, we like them better than you!" Dean said.
"Although, it wouldn't really take much" Roman said.
"Yeah, yeah. Get over yourselves. I do have something I want to say to Kristy. You don't have the guts to do anything to me or to Nikki. You're nothing but a paper Champion and a spineless whore who went running to Dean Ambrose because Adam and I left her. Let me give you some advice Dean, don't get too attached to her because before you know it, she'll go running to someone else and-" John started.
Before he could finish his sentence, two lightning bolts struck on either side of the ramp. John and the others looked around in fear. Roman and Dean looked up to the nose bleed section to see if Taker was in the crowd somewhere and had done it, but Kristy turned around and looked at Angel. She was just returning her eyes to normal, but she looked angrier than Kristy had seen in a long time.
"John Cena, I am going to offer you some advice of my own. Learn when to speak and watch what the hell you say because you might just say it to the wrong person" Angel growled.
"And if you're calling me a whore, John, I suggest you look next to you. At least I didn't sleep with Dolph Ziggler and flirt with my sister's finance. Well, at the time boyfriend" Kristy smiled.
"And as for your "advice" Cena, you can take it and shove it up your ass. I didn't ask for it and I don't want it. Has it ever occurred to you that Kristy left Adam and left you because the both of you treated her like crap? I don't know much about Adam, but I know that the minute Barrett did what he did to her you started to treat her like trash! And if Kane hadn't already beat me to it, I'd walk up that ramp and beat your ass for it" Dean snapped.
"Speaking of Kane, where is he? And where's Randy? They're noticeably missing" Roman said.
"Yeah, what did you do with them, Hunter?" Angel asked.
"Their services are no longer required. If you go looking around the back hard enough, you'll find them" Hunter said.
"If you hurt my Uncle, I am not going to hesitate to walk into your office and rip you apart" Angel growled.
"Not to mention, you had better not have hurt Randy" Kristy said.
Hunter just laughed at them. Angel knew that was not a good sign. She threw her microphone down and left the ring before any of them could stop her. She walked up the ramp and pushed everyone aside to get to the back. She ran for the locker room and threw the door open. She sighed in relief. Randy and Sara were there, so at least they were safe, although Randy did look a little banged up.
"Randy, what happened?" Angel asked.
"Kane and I were exiled from the Authority now that he's got his golden boy. They kicked the hell out of the both of us. I'm alright, but I haven't seen Kane. I don't know where he is or if he's hurt or how bad or anything" Randy answered.
"Well, at least you're alright. Daddy, I gotta go find Uncle" Angel said.
"Right. Be careful out there, baby girl. They're still running around, so watch yourself" Taker said.
Angel nodded and left the locker room. She headed back the way she came from, knowing that she would bump into Kristy, Dean and Roman. Sure enough, she did. She let them know that Randy and Sara were in the locker room and that Randy was a bit banged up, but otherwise fine.
"And Kane?" Kristy asked.
"No idea. I've got to find him though. You and Dean head back to the locker room. Ro, would you mind coming with me?" Angel asked.
Roman nodded. Kristy and Dean headed back to the locker room. Angel and Roman went and looked around the whole arena. They found nothing. Then Angel got an idea. She headed for the boiler room. She didn't know why or how she knew, but she had a feeling she would find him there. She headed down the stairs and opened the door, nervously.
"Ugh, why would Kane be down here?" Roman asked.
"No idea. He just likes it for some reason. Probably because it's dark" Angel said.
"True" Roman said.
They stepped in and began to look around. It wasn't long before they found Kane. Angel screamed. He was slumped against the wall, clearly beaten up. She ran up and knelt down. She shook him. Kane opened his eyes and looked around. A small smile crossed his face when he saw Angel there.
"Uncle, are you alright?" she asked.
"Did you two happen to get the license plate on the truck that ran me over?" Kane asked, sounding as though he was in pain.
"No, but the same truck ran over Randy" Roman said.
"Looks like big nose is back to his old ways" Kane said.
"Can we get out of here? Not that I'm creeped out, but this is the perfect opportunity for someone to jump us and I don't trust him" Angel said.
Kane and Roman nodded. Angel put her hands in front of her and a red glow surrounded them. Instantly, Kane felt better and he was able to stand up. All three of them walked out of the boiler room and headed back to the locker room. It had been a long night.
Alright, that's it for now. Please leave a review. I'm also open to suggestions because I'm a bit stuck as to where to go from here. Thanks guys!~Taker's Soul Girl
