I Dare You (Chris Jericho, Chapter 1)
Chapter 12 : I Dare You (Chris Jericho, Chapter 12)
It's time for Armageddon!

"Jess...baby, just relax. You'll go out there and win tonight, just like I am going to beat the Undertaker."
The camera zoomed around to see Edge holding a very worried-looking Jessica by the shoulders, looking into her face.
"I....baby...you haven't seen her....you haven't looked into those.....freakish silver eyes. I have. And it's like...staring into death." Jessica looked back at Edge, her normal cocky air gone going into Armageddon.
"I haven't looked into Onya's eyes, but I have looked into the Undertaker's. It's the same effect, babe. Don't let her intimidate you. Come back with that new title in your sights."
The camera zoomed in on Jessica, who finally started to look like her old self again. "Baby...you're right." Jessica smiled and wrapped her arms around him, and they leaned into each other, and kissed.
The crowd began to boo as they got into the moment, until the lights went out in the locker room, which caused the crowd's boos to become cheers. When the lights inside the room came back on, Edge and Jessica had jumped apart and were looking frantically around them, spinning to gape at a hooded figure that stood before them. The druid held in his hands a silver platter that contained two black roses with red ribbon tied around the stem just below the bud of the roses. One rose was placed over the other in an x design, and both Jessica and Edge stood staring in shock as the druid set the gift down and backed away, turning and disapearing into the shadows as if he had come from the darkness. Edge and Jessica exchanged looks, faces pale. Edge's own game was being played on him, he realized, as he stared at the roses.
After a sea of "good lucks" and Chris and Edge giving you and Jessica kisses and hugs, Jessica's theme hit the speakers and out she went. She slid up into the ring much like Edge, and got to her feet, jeering at the crowd. Beth was out next and flipped over the turnbuckle just as your music cut hers off and you walked out to the arena.
"Well, JR, what do you think of this new title?" Mick Foley inquired of the golden object that rested on the announce table before both men as the match got underway. The new title was similar to the men's World Heavyweight title, but it possessed a distinctly more feminine flair. The center of the belt held a blossoming rose, and the belt's top swept up to form the shape of a v.
"You know, Mick, I think I kind of like it, really - oh, that was a hell of a haymaker!"
You smirked, knowing JR's comment had been in response to your powerful punch to Jessica. Not wanting to turn your back to Beth Phoenix you spun around and kicked her in the face, causing her to join Jessica on the mat. You quickly climbed the turnbuckle and prepared to leap off of it onto the Glamazon, but she was on her knees by the time you flew, and she caught you, displaying her incredible strength as she rose to her feet and threw you backwards, sending you flying across the ring. Jessica tried to go for the pin on you, but Beth was not about to let Jessica get the credit for her own work, and stopped the count as you were raising your shoulder anyway. You glared at Jessica and grabbed the back of her head and slammed your head into hers, dizzying her with the headbutt. Beth took advantage of Jessica being momentarily dazed and lifted her to her feet, preparing to suplex her. Smirking, you quicky got up and went to Jessica's other side, double teaming Edge's girlfriend with the Glamazon. Beth locked eyes with you as she fell to the cover, trying to make a statement as she waited to hear the three count that never came. Jessica lifted her shoulder and then struck Beth across the face before getting to her feet and turning her attention to you. You traded right hands for a minute before Jessica grabbed your arm and threw you to a corner, your back connecting hard with the turnbuckle, and you watched Jessica charge toward you and jump into the air to slam into you, but displaying surprizing strength yourself, you countered by catching her and then executing a spine buster. Seeing that Beth was now up again you dashed toward her and clotheslined her, quickly going for the cover. She kicked out just as the ref's hand hit the mat for a two count. You quickly got up and picked Beth back up to her feet, and began to punch her while Jessica was still recovering, finally starting to roll to her knees. You and Beth continued to trade blows, you actually starting to get the upper hand.
"I don't believe it, Mick! No one's been able to trade blows with the Glamazon!"
"Well, JR, Onya is the sister of the Brothers of Destruction. I think we're seeing some of that dark power in her tonight."
After pushing Beth into a corner, you turned her around and drove her head into the turnbuckle, causing her to fall backwards to the mat. You backed up and turned to see what Jessica was up to, and felt a shoulder drive into you, knocking the air out of you as your feet left the ground and your back hit the mat from the spear Jessica had used on you. Jessica quickly went to cover you to eliminate you, but you thrust your arm out and twisted your body, lifting your shoulder. Snarling, Jessica moved behind you and locked in an armbar, keeping you low to the mat as you tried to fight your way out of it. The crowd was going wild for for you. Chants of your ring name Onya were drowning out everything else, giving you adrenaline and the will to keep fighting. You twisted your body around slightly, alleviating some of the pressure on your trapped arm, and thrust your elbow up and into Jessica's stomach. Jessica groaned, and after a few more shots, she fell back, releasing you. The next thing that happened in the match happened so quickly you had trouble believing it happened. The Glamazon had come to, and while Jessica's back was turned, she grabbed her arms and lifted her high into the air, and dropped Jessica on her face. With a satisfied expression, Beth rolled Jessica's limp body over so she could cover her. You watched as the ref's hand came down for the three count, and Jessica was out of the match. Jessica slowly rolled out of the way as Beth got to her feet only to be brought back down again by a dropkick to her stomach by you. Quickly glancing down, you saw Jessica give you a little wink as she slowly headed out of the ring, quickly getting back into character as the camera zoomed in on her. She scowled as she rubbed her face and walked backstage shouting insults.
Allowing a smirk, you turned your attention back to Beth Phoenix. You put her into a headlock, and wrenched her neck, making her cry out as she extended a hand for the ropes. Proving her toughness and strengh yet again, Beth forced her way to the ropes and the ref made you break the hold. Quckly you jumped up and climbed a turnbuckle yet again, laying in wait for the Glamazon to get to her feet. Once she did, you flew at her again, and this time succeeded in doing the move you had in mind. You locked your legs around Beth's head and paused slightly before swinging yourself downward, watching as Beth rolled on the mat from your hurricanrana. You circled around behind Beth as she tried to get to her feet. Once she was on her knees, you kneed her in the back, and when she brought up her hands, you locked in the same submission move that had made Natalya Neidhart tapout.
"She's got that submission move locked in!!" JR exclaimed. "We could see a tapout right here!"
"And there it is!" Mick concluded as the ref signaled for the bell and you relased Beth, who crumpled to the floor, motionless.
Lights flashed, and fireworks exploded above you as you slowly turned in a circle after moving to the middle of the ring. You looked around you at the huge crowd that was on its feet, and dropped to both of your knees, waving your hands in front of you till they were over your head, and when they reached the peak, fire exploded from the four turnbuckles, and you stared into the camera before it faded out.
