"Folks, this should be a spectacular fight between
these two! Test and Undertaker
have had some major differences and tonight,
they're gonna fight! Making his way
down the ring now, this youngster, a former Motley
Crue bodyguard wants to
dispose of the Undertaker as painfully as possible!"
JR explains as Test makes his
way down to the ring.
"Yeah, but it's not gonna happen, ya know," The
King argues. "I mean, think about it.
The Undertaker has Shane on his side, and I'm
sure they have a plan to take care
of this loser!"
"But King you've seen the power that Test has,"
JR argues back, "and I'm willing to
bet that Ashlee isn't too far behind Test tonight!"
"And The Undertaker's gonna have Goddess and Paul
Bearer right by his side, so
everything's going to go smoothly for the Lord
Of Darkness. Just watch."
"Oh that rotund demon can't do anything except
hit people with his godforsaken
shoe!!"
Test and Undertaker lock up and Undertaker whips
Test into the ropes and goes for
a boot, but Test ducks.
"Like I said, JR, you can't forget about Goddess."
The King winces as 'Taker gets the
boot instead.
"Yeah, she's a tough one who's willing to fight
when necessary. But King, you know
as well as anyone else, Ashlee's a fighter too."
Undertaker throws Test into the turnbuckle and starts to kick, repeatedly.
"Take that, Test! Ooh, man that's gotta hurt!"
Lawler cries excitedly. Test looks to be
in pain from the kicks in the ribs but grabs
Undertaker's foot and pushes him back.
"The Dead Man certainly won't like that, " JR declares.
Test goes to the top rope for an elbow and hits
his target! But he may have hurt
himself doing so.
The Undertaker gets up and walks right into a DDT.
"That's what he gets for being so stupid!" Lawler laughs, referring to Test.
‘Taker shakes the pain away. He picks Test up
and throws him out of the ring and
onto the floor.
"You know that one’s gonna leave a mark, JR!" Lawler shouts happily.
"No doubt about it," JR replies. "Test is a fine
athlete, but even he can't take this
kind of abuse for long!"
Undertaker walks next to Test and starts kicking
him in the ribs again. The referee
tells Undertaker they must get back into the
ring. Undertaker throws Test back in
the ring and elbows him in the ribs.
"Looks like he's going to for the ribs, JR!" Lawler
notices.
"Test better watch out and
make sure the Undertaker doesn't stay on the
offensive much longer!" "Oh, he's in
big trouble now," The King says with a smile.
"Finish him off, Undertaker!
The Undertaker goes for a Tombstone, but before
he can execute it, Ashlee comes
running down the ring to distract the referee.
She jumps up on the apron and starts
arguing with him. Goddess goes over to her and
viciously pulls her off the ring
apron, slugging her.
"Looks like we have a catfight here King." JR tells him.
"Oh I love cat fights! Bring it over here!!!" King screams.
Ashlee punches Goddess back. The referee goes
to break it up, and this gives
Shane the chance to run in and attack Test. He
chops Test in the leg, making him
go down, then starts kicking Test in the chest.
Goddess lunges at Ashlee, trying to give Shane
as much time as possible to attack.
Ashlee runs into the ring and avoids Goddess.
She runs up to the Undertaker and
starts yelling at him.
"She sure has guts! I'd never known anyone to
do that before," JR says with
amazement in his voice.
Furious, Goddess tries to go after her but the
ref. stops her. She punches him too
and slips under the bottom rope.
"Guts?" Lawler snorts. "Ha, she's stupid, that's
what she is! Look, Goddess is gonna
take care of her right now!"
"I don't think so King! Look who's getting up!
Test will be sure to protect her!" JR
confidently says. Test gets up and stands in
Goddess' path. He doesn't see
Undertaker pick Ashlee up and take her to the
back until it's too late. The Goddess
distracted him. He turns around and sees that
she's gone.
"It looks like they tricked him JR! That fool!" King laughs.
Goddess grins at Andrew evilly "Go ahead," she
says in a mocking tone. "Hit me.
Show the world what kind of man you REALLY are!"
"No!" Test shouts at her. "I would never hit a woman! But get out of my way!"
The Goddess' grin grows wider. "No, you're not
going to ruin Undertaker's plans this
time!" She takes out a bat she had hidden behind
her and hits Andrew straight in
the ribs with it. She hits him while he's down
after she's satisfied she's broke a
couple of things. Goddess quickly slips out of
the ring and runs to the back, where
Mark is. A couple of minutes later, officials
in the ring help Andrew stand up.
Suddenly, the Undertaker appears on the Titan
Tron. "Test, on next Monday's Raw,
Ashlee will become my wife. And there's
nothing YOU can do about it!!" He laughs maniacally.
"Oh my JR, I think he really means it! Test is
injured and there isn't a thing he can
do about it! The Undertaker has finally beaten
him!" King says quietly.
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again folks,
this is wrong!" JR tells the viewing
audience. "I don't know what kind of monster
he's turned into, but this isn't right! I
guess we'll all find out what goes on with this
wedding next week. Make sure ya
tune into next week's Raw folks! It's sure to
be a good one!"
"Ha ha! Don't forget, we'll be seeing the Undertaker
get married!!!" King says
excitedly.
*Raw goes off the air.*
The Corporate Ministry drags Ashlee into a limo.
She's screaming and hoping and
praying that someone will hear her. But no one
does.
"Ashlee," Goddess says, "You're going to have
to get used to the darkness. Soon it is
all you will know."
"Noooo!!" Ashlee screams. "Andrew will rescue
me! Wait and see! He'll never let this
wedding go through!"
The Undertaker laughs, lifting her chin with one
finger and forcing her to meet his
eyes. "No, child, he can't help you. We left
him broken and beaten up. He doesn't
know where you are... or where he is, I'd imagine."
Ashlee chokes back the tears. "But why me? Why did you choose me??!"
"Why not?" he asks simply. "Poor Andrew, he's
probably worried sick... IF he can
think straight, considering all the pain he's
in."
"B-because.. well, I don't know! I truthfully
do NOT know! All I was doing was trying
to protect Andrew! And now you've injured him.
You will pay! You will ALL pay!!"
Ashlee threatens. "Beside, you will never get
me to say 'I do' at the wedding!"
"You don't have to," Goddess tells her, "I know how much you want him."
"You must have me mistaken for another! The thought
of even touching you *points
to Undertaker* disgusts me!" Ashlee shouts.
"You can hide your feelings, but not for long.
A week from tonight, you're my chosen
one," Mark says, grinning.
"What do you plan to do with me until then?" Ashlee questions suspiciously.
"Whatever I damn well please," he says, laughing. Ashlee screams.
~~Sunday Night Heat before the RAW wedding~~
Pyros go off and Heat begins. Undertakers music
starts up and he and Goddess
drag Ashlee out. The Undertaker keeps one hand
on Ashlee's arm and requests the
mic. "Well, Test, look who we've got here..."
"I don't think Test is here tonight Kevin," Michael
Cole says. "I believe he's still in
the hospital from the beating he received."
"Oh, that's right," 'Taker laughs. "I DID put
you in the hospital, didn't I? Pity... you
won't be able to attend Ashlee's wedding tomorrow,
but at least you can watch it on
television. Yes every single one of you are invited
to our wedding." Undertaker
brings Ashlee closer to him. "But if anyone even
tries to interfere with my plans, oh
they'll pay. The entire Corporate Ministry will
be surrounding the ring." Undertaker
tells everyone.
He leans down and slowly runs his tongue over
the side of Ashlee's face. She
shrieks, pulling away. Goddess is standing there,
laughing the whole time.
Undertaker then picks her up and brings her to
the back. Goddess follows.
"Michael, that was disgusting! What has the girl
ever done to deserve this???" Kevin
Kelly questions.
"I don't know, Kevin," Michael shuddered. "But
there was NO reason at all to do that
to her!"
"Imagine the torture she's going through. Imagine
what that demon has done to her
when the cameras weren't on!" Kevin wonders.
~~RAW~~
It's an all-too familiar sight as Ashlee is strapped
to the Undertaker symbol and
brought down to the ring. Goddess follows The
Undertaker as he makes his way
down to his future bride.
On the Titan Tron they show Andrew in a hospital
bed watching the wedding. He
looks mighty pissed. Goddess sees this, points
and laughs.
"Stop this!" Ashlee screams. "Someone will save
me, wait and see!" Paul starts
reading from that huge black book of his.
"Oh, King I can't bear to watch. This just isn't
right. Why won't somebody save this
poor child?" JR questions angrily.
"JR, you know and I know this is what Ashlee wants!
She's just hiding it." King
argues.
Paul spoke up in his irritating voice, "Lord of
Darkness, do you accept Ashlee as
your spouse and servant?" He nods, rolling back
his eyes.
"Nooooooooooo!!!! No! No NO!!" Ashlee shouts at Paul. "I will NOT marry this man!"
He ignores her, going on with the ceremony. "I
now pronounce you the unholy union
of darkness. You may now kiss your bride!"
Ashlee shakes her head around violently trying
to avoid the Undertaker's evil lips.
In the hospital, Test looks like he's ready to
kill.
She's unsuccessful, as he grabs her neck to hold
her still and kisses her. Ashlee
turns away in disgust, feeling sick. No one notices
the strange look on Goddess' face
as she's watching this.
"Oh my god King! I didn't actually think he was
going to go through with this! This
just goes to show you what I know!" JR says in
disbelief.
On the Titan Tron, Test is cursing up a storm
and threatening 'Taker.
"Undertaker, when I am out of this hospital,
you will pay, oh hear me, you will pay
dearly for what you have done to us!!!" Test
shouts. He throws the mini-TV next his
bed at the camera and the feed is broken.
Mark pulls his wife off the symbol and drags her
away, laughing. Goddess and the
others follow behind. Crying uncontrollably,
Ashlee is carried to the back.
* A Week Later*
Ashlee sits in the corner of a dark room, tears in her eyes.
"Mark?" Goddess asked. "Can I speak to you... in private?"
He stands up. "Sure." *He follows Goddess out
of the room and shuts the door
behind him.*
Goddess looks up at him seriously. "You don't
REALLY love her, do you? I mean,
you're only doing this to get back at Andrew...right?"
"As a matter of fact.. no, I'm not."
"Wh-what?" Goddess gasped. "What could you possibly see in her?"
"In this past week, I've grown attached to her.
It went from getting revenge on
Andrew, and then I realized yesterday, that I
love her." Goddess is infuriated.
"How could you do this to me, Mark? She'll never
love you back, not like I do... I
thought you loved me but I guess I was wrong!"
She storms out of the room.
"What? Oh Goddess, Goddess come back! Oh man.
Ah well. She should know we're
just close friends."
Realizing he hasn't told his wife his new found
feelings, he goes into the room and
sits by her. Ashlee looks up at Mark, terrified.
"What do you want?" she asked fearfully.
"I-I have something I want to say to you.." Mark explains.
Ashlee looks completely scared. "Wh-what is it???"
"I..." he paused, for the first time in his life
feeling completely tongue-tied. "I love
you, Ashlee," he finally said.
"What did you just say??" Ashlee didn't think
she heard correctly. She thinks to
herself. This is the Lord of DARKNESS, not
of love! I must be hearing things!
"I said I love you. Is that so hard to believe?"
"Why yes, yes it is. I thought you did this just
to get back at Andrew.. oh Andrew..."
She breaks down in tears.
************
Goddess opens the door to her hotel room, extremely
upset. How DARE he fall in
love with her? she wondered. She flicks
on her light and screams. Ken Shamrock is
standing right in the middle of her room with
a huge grin on his face.
"Hello Goddess," he greeted her, "Miss me?" "Wh-what are YOU doing here?"
"I've come here to see you. Why else would I be here?"
~~Meanwhile over at Mark and Ashlee’s..~~
"I've just told you that I love you, and I want
to know, do you love me?" Mark
asks.
"I-I.. I'm flattered, but I'm sorry Mark, I love Andrew."
~~Shamrock and Goddess~~
Goddess' heart is racing "Stay away from me! Just
get the hell outta here!" She
starts screaming....
~Back to Mark and Ashlee~
"ANDREW!?!" Mark yelled, roaring his disapproval.
"Y-yes.. Andrew. We were a fine happy couple until
you forced me to marry you.
Which may I add was very, very cruel."
~~Back to Shamrock and Goddess~~
Shamrock covers Goddess' mouth. "Shhh, shh. I'm not here to hurt you! So shh!!"
Goddess shakes her head, trying to escape. "Mmmmph!"
~Mark and Ashlee~
"Don't you understand?" Mark asks, "This is your
destiny. I wouldn't think of hurting
you, little one. I'm doing this in your best
interests."
"No it isn't. Mark, you're a nice guy when you're
not acting evil. That I can admit to,
but I don't love you. You and I were not meant
to be together! Can't you see how
unhappy I am????" Ashlee demands.
~~Shamrock and Goddess~~
"Do you promise not to shout?" Shamrock asks.
Goddess nods. "Good." Shamrock
removes his hand.
"Wha-What are you gonna do?" Goddess asks, paralyzed with fear.
~Mark and Ashlee~
Mark sits back, shutting his eyes. "You know,
I've never actually thought about it
that way...but maybe you're right."
"Yes, I am right. I'm finally glad you've realized that. Now can I go???"
~Goddess and Shamrock~
"I just want to talk to you. We got off on the
wrong foot last time.." Shamrock says
soothingly.
The Goddess isn't fooled. She could NEVER trust
him. "We'll never get off on the
right foot, Shamrock. That wedding wasn't meant
to happen- we're not supposed to
be together!"
~Mark and Ashlee~
Mark shook his head. "Go."
Ashlee stares at him.
"GO," he says more forcefully, motioning at the door.
Ashlee gratefully accepts, slipping away. She pops her head back in the door.
"You know Mark, you should really start thinking
about Goddess, she really loves
you." Ashlee runs away, in search of Andrew.
~Shamrock and Goddess~
"But.. but.. "Shamrock is speechless.
"Listen Kenny, I will never love you, I'm sorry,
but it's the truth. I love Mark.. and I
just found that he doesn't love me! Do you know
how awful that makes me feel?????"
Goddess questions angrily.
~~Over by Mark~~
Mark stared at her in surprise as she disappeared.
Without much thought he
walked across the room and picked up a small,
clear crystal. What he saw in it
surprised him: Goddess was clearly in danger.
~~Shamrock and Goddess~~
Shamrock snaps "Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I tried and I tried
and I tried!! But you just don't
seem to get the point!!!! I wanted a second chance
but you didn't wanna give it to
me!!!!"
Shamrock grabs Goddess by the arms and shakes
her. Mark comes running in and
he knocks Shamrock out and throws him out the
door. Then, breathing heavily, he
turns to Goddess..
"Mark?" Goddess murmurs, stunned. She gives him a confused look.
"I-I saw you were in trouble so I came down here to save you.."
"You did that just to help ME?" Goddess asks.
"Yes. And I came down here to apologize.." Mark looks down at his feet.
"Apologize? No, Mark, I should be the one-"
"NO! I mean.. no. I'm the one that should apologize.
I didn't actually tell you the
truth back there..."
"The truth?" Goddess frowns. "And what truth would THAT be?"
Mark finally looks up. "That truth would be.. that it's you that I actually love.."
Goddess took a step backwards. "An hour ago you told me you loved Ashlee!"
"That wasn't really love I have now noticed. I
guess I was caught up in the whole
marriage craze.."'
"You were living a storyline," Goddess says, understanding.
"Yeah I was.. I feel foolish now. Do you forgive me Goddess??"
Goddess smiles slightly. "Well, I guess I can... you did save me, after all..."
"Yeah, I did, didn't I? What was that nut doing in here anyway??"
"You don't wanna know," Goddess replied softly.
"Let's just say the next time I see
him it'll be in court for a restraining order!"
