The Arsonist and The Eradicator

Chapter Seven| Fight Me!*

The Following Monday

Ashton's P.O.V

I'm at the arena and Dominik's outside waiting for me. "Rhea said you guys are avoiding each other so she can truly beat your ass?" "Yeah, we know I have to lose but she wants it to be a fair fight," I say. "I guess that's fair. I mean my dad and I just talk shit but that works too.''He says. "I have to do a promo with Charlotte tonight before our fight so this ought to be fun,"I say, rolling my eyes. "Make fun of her heels, always pisses her off," He says smirking. "Noted, depends on what heel," I say. She has so many.

Dom walks me to my dressing room. "I'll stand outside so neither of you can try to see each other," He says. "Thanks, wise one," I say. I walk in and start putting my new gear on. A black cropped long sleeve shirt, leather bell bottom pants and converse with blue on the tread. I tie my hair up in a messy bun and start doing my makeup. "Keep your composure!" "Let me see my partner!" "You can go Dom, I got it," I hear Liv say. "Ash, I swear to fucking God you open this door I kick your ass."Liv says. I finished up and put my headphones on. "What? Huh? What?" I scream opening the door, pulling Demi in and closing it and locking it. "Nice one," Demi says, wrapping her arms around me. "She doesn't scare me," I say laughing. "Couldn't stay away?" I ask. "No, I needed to see how sexy my knight is," My queen says. "Well, my queen, your knight has missed you all day. But we must wait till after the joust and the dragon before committing such sins," I say. Demi rubs her nose against my cheek indicating she'd kiss me if it wouldn't stick to me. "We have to go soon. I love you,'' she says. "I love you too," She says. She walks out and I follow by putting my headphones on.

I check my phone and it's almost time to go out. I put my earbuds around my phone and place it aside next to Rhea's. My music starts and I walk out with my mic. "Look Charlotte we got 14 time champions but is that really something to brag about since your recent loss? Let's face it, isn't this speech getting old?" I ask. "You don't need to worry about my so-called speech. I'd worry more about your partner," She says. "Why should I worry about Liv, we aren't tag team partners," I say. "Not her," Charlotte says with a smirk. We aren't quite out to the world yet. All of a sudden Rhea's music plays. "Charlotte, I see you wearing your 5 inch heels, is that you compensating for when I took the Smackdown women's championship from you?" She asks. Charlotte just glares at her. Rhea gets in the ring and looks at Charlotte with that sexy smirk of hers. "Why don't you leave ms." I think I'm tough shit" over here alone. We have a match later and I want them ready to lose. We know you want the championship. Just get on with it and say the words,"Rhea says. I am tough shit, just hard to do with my love.

"Fine, I challenge you to the smackdown women's championship next friday,"Charlotte says. "I accept.''I get out of the ring as they have their stare down and go back to the gorilla and listen to music on my phone until my match with Rhea. Rhea comes back out and motions for me to take out my earbuds. "Yes," I say. "We are still safe," She says. "Ok, thanks. When are we on?" I ask. "After the commercial break,"She says, kissing my cheek real quick and then walking over to the guys. Dom walks over and smirks. "What?''I ask. "Fight me daddy!" He says imitating Rhea. He walks back to the group. "Hey Dom!" I shout. He whips his head towards me. "Who's your papi?" I ask as my music plays. I put some lighter fluid in my mouth and go out. Once I'm half way down the runway I light my lighter and spit the lighter fluid at it making a fireball. I get to the ring and grab my water so I can gargle and spit. Thankfully the taste is out of my mouth. The last few matches I've been flipping my gimmick to hint at the gimmick swap so they don't expect me to hug Rhea at the end.

Judgment Day's music starts to play and they all walk out letting Rhea and Dominik strut up to the ring. I stay in my corner so they can do their posing. Dom gets in the ring and tries to intimidate me. Unfortunately for him that doesn't work. The ref comes in and the others leave the ring leaving rhea behind. The bell rings and Rhea lunges at and I duck, letting her hit the ropes. I use my momentum to hit the ropes and just as Rhea turns around and clotheslines her.
