Emery paced around in the Elite locker room, contemplating her next action. Matt, Nick, Kenny, and now Hangman were all out of commission—all thanks to Blackpool Combat Club.

She barely knew Bryan or Claudio—and it was hit-and-miss with Mox—but Yuta? They had once been super close, thick as thieves, two peas in a pod; whatever saying you wanted to use. Since Kenny had been out due to injury, surgeries, and healing, and the Bucks were doing what they do best, Emery had formed a close bond with Yuta.

He made her feel comfortable, made her laugh at the simplest of jokes; he just genuinely made her feel happy, dare she say, loved.

Emery wasn’t blind, though; she could see when things slowly started to change. Ever since Yuta had struck out on his own, away from Best Friends, and into the jaws of Mox, Bryan, and William Regal. Yuta began training more seriously, with a new ferocity in his matches. She was happy, though, because he was getting the recognition he deserved. He won the Ring of Honor Pure championship, and Emery was ecstatic. When Claudio joined them, she could see how much Yuta looked up to him and how he’d often seek him out for advice. It reminded her of her first few months in New Japan, how she had sought out Kenny many times to get his opinion on things.

Then everything changed. Blackpool Combat Club got this new edge like a chip was on their shoulder. They attacked anyone and everyone—and soon, her once lovable Yuta was almost unrecognizable. She knew he was still in there, somewhere. It was evident in the past three weeks when BCC would attack the Elite.

The flicker of hesitation in his eyes when he’d see her; he didn’t want her to get hurt, that he still cared for her.

At least, that’s what she kept telling herself.

Coming to a halt in the middle of the room, Emery made up her mind and quickly exited before Brandon or Nakazawa returned to the locker room. She had to know, once and for all, if Yuta could be saved.

Even if it meant walking straight into the lion’s den.

Her feet carried her down multiple hallways, past familiar faces both of friends and of general coworkers. No one stopped her though, and instead, let her continue on her path, and soon enough she came to a stop outside a closed door.

“Blackpool Combat Club” was written on a sign hanging from the door, and before she could change her mind Emery quickly knocked on the door and waited.

It didn’t take long before the door opened—and unfortunately, it wasn’t Yuta who was standing in front of her.

“Hah,” Bryan chuckled, leaning on the door, “I think you might be lost.”

Every bone in her body was telling her to leave. Leave now. But she remained glued to the spot.

“I want to speak to Yuta.”

“Oh? You want to speak to Yuta, huh,” Bryan repeated, scratching his beard in thought.

“Who is it?” Emery heard Claudio’s voice ask moments before he appeared beside Bryan. When his eyes landed on Emery, he hesitated. His number one rule was to never hit a lady—and while they hadn’t done that tonight, Mox still used force on her while the rest of them beat up Adam Page.

“She wants to speak to Yuta,” Bryan chuckled, looking over his shoulder at the taller man. Claudio looked over his shoulder deeper into the room, somewhere that was blocked from Emery’s line of sight by the door.

“I don’t know,” Bryan sighed, “This could be some kind of trap—”

“And with who would I be trapping you, huh?!” Emery snapped at him, catching Bryan by surprise, “You’ve already taken out four of my friends! Who’s left for you to worry about?!”

Bryan held his hands up in front of him in mock surrender before Emery saw Yuta come to stand behind him and Claudio.

“I’ve got this, guys,” he said, his voice monotonous. Yuta seemed to refuse to even look her in the eyes, instead keeping his attention on his stablemates. Slowly, with a shrug, Bryan backed away from the door before disappearing into the room with Claudio.

Finally, Yuta looked at Emery, his eyes sharp like steel as they pierced through her, “What are you doing here?”

“Why…. Wh-why are you doing this Yoots?” Emery asked him, shivers running down her spine from the sadness that radiated through her. He stared at her for a moment before scoffing, a smugness crossing his face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, and even if I did and I explained my actions—our actions? You wouldn’t understand anyway.”

“Try me,” she whispered before pleading, “I deserve to know why.”

“That right there—deserve. You and the rest of the Elite and the VIPs think you deserve everything around here,” Yuta snarled, stepping towards her, “You’ve never had to earn your way into anything. Kenny’s been a world champion, tag champion, and a trio’s champion—first ever trio’s champion, with the Bucks. The Bucks, who have been tag champions more times than I care to count. Page, who’s been tag champion and world champion—and you—”

“I haven’t won a damn thing! I’ve had two opportunities at a championship since being here. One an over-the-top-rope royal and one number contenders match,” Emery bristled, “And even so—Kenny, Matt, Nick, and Adam have fought through hell for their opportunities at those championships!”

“Kenny stole it from Mox! Or are you overlooking that little detail?”

With a frown, Emery did indeed remember that night. Callis interjecting himself in the match, getting knocked down by Mox, Kenny using the microphone on Mox—

“Exactly,” Yuta sneered, crossing his arms in front of him, “The Elite walk these halls like they’re Gods or something, but they’re not. Their pompous, ignorant assholes—and finally, someone is standing up to them and will put them in their place.”

“So I’m pompous and ignorant, huh?”

“No—and that’s why I’m so confused as to why you align yourself with them!” he exclaimed, “You’re better than them, Ree! Always have been. Think about all the title opportunities they’ve had and the titles they’ve held, and then think about yours. Don’t you think that if they truly cared about you, you’d have more opportunities? Maybe they’d help you win a title, too.”

“I don’t need their help to win a title--!”

“Could’ve fooled me. It seems like no one in the Elite can do anything on their own. Where one goes—the others follow. Just look at you, for example. Ringside with the Bucks. Ringside with Kenny. Ringside for Page--- well, not recently. Right? No, no—because Kenny ousted him from the group, so suddenly, all of you act like he doesn’t exist.”

“That’s not true--!”

“Isn’t it?!” Yuta raised his voice, making Emery slink back slightly, “When was the last time you were ringside for him?! When was the last time you traveled with him? When’s the last time you—”

“Enough!” Emery yelled, effectively silencing Yuta. She stood there, clenching and unclenching her fists, trying to keep the tears at bay.

“Truth hurts, doesn’t it?” Yuta questioned, his voice softer, “They might have cared once upon a time, Emery—but just like with Page, you’re expendable to them. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can have a group that looks out for you, and you can have that championship run.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“I’m sorry—sorry for everything. You…. You can join me—join us.”

Emery narrowed her eyes, scoffing, “Join you? Join Blackpool Combat Club? You’re joking, right?”

“No, I’m not joking. You’d be a tremendous asset to us—and we could help you reach new heights. The past few—”

“Save it, Yuta. What’s done is done—and if you seriously thought I would join you after everything… you can go fuck yourself.”

“Ree—”

“No! You—you joined up with these guys and completely forgot that I existed, Yuta. All the texts and calls I made went unanswered. When I was injured, you didn’t once try to get ahold of me. I- I thought we were friends.”

Her throat felt like it was burning, and her eyes were glossing over with more unshed tears. If this kept going on much longer, Emery knew that they would fall.

“You thought wrong,” Yuta told her, his face expressionless as he stared at her, “Last chance.”

Emery shook her head softly, her heart breaking into pieces, “No… you--- you broke me, Yuta. I don’t--- you come at my friends—my family?—any more, and I won’t hold back. You’re not getting away with this.”

“You and I are very alike—”

“We’re nothing alike.”

“Both have a darkness inside us—an instinct—”

“Perhaps so—but I’d never turn my back on the people I love. I’d rather die first.”

“That can be arranged, sweetheart,” Mox drawled as he walked past her into the room, stopping beside Yuta and looking at Emery.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” she whispered before turning away from them and walking down the hallway again. The moment she turned away, tears fell from her eyes at the loss of her friend. Emery wanted to cry, to wail out loud—but she refused to let him affect her deeply.

As she walked back to the Elite locker room, the tears stopped flowing, and the wetness on her cheeks dried up. Her eyes seemed to cloud over, and a foreboding sense of darkness hung around her.

Blackpool Combat Club wanted a war with the Elite.

Fine.

She’d show them exactly why you never mess with an Angel of Darkness or the humans she called her family.

Hiii!! hope ur doing ok! Would it be ok to request the overtime peeps on dating someone who's super affectionate (physically/verbally)? Totally ok if u don't wanna write this, feel free to ignore! I wish u a good day/night either way!! :D <3

hello, anons（＾ω＾）!! i'm finally getting to all of my asks after a long week of work! i went on a small hiatus, and i apologize for that!! the two of you had somewhat similar requests so i decided to merge them together. i hope that's okay (￣▽￣)!!

— now my life is sweet like cinnamon

affectionate s/o josiah nguyen, damian stasiuk, emery bryan, gavin, and annette

⚠️i'm finally back, and should be opening my inbox again soon. iwas gone longer than i expected, so i apologize for that ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡!! also i'mnow starting to post in the bigger font size because it's easier to read on my phone -- i'm so mf blind💀 as always and forever, credit to @/SLOWTH_ARTS (Twitter) @/slowth__605 (Instagram)

JOSIAH is clingy and probably clingier than you. I said it before, but he wants to be with you 24/7 as if he's some undercover secret protection service over you.

Always welcomes and accepts every piece of affection you give him; he loves it and loves you.

Turns this into a challenge to see who gives more affection than the other. He's a gamer, and he can get competitive.

He always has an arm wrapped around you; that way, you're neediness will be satisfied.

Loves to drown himself in your praises and affection; he gets drunk off of this too. If you go on long tangents about how much you love him, he will simply just melt right there.

Whenever you have free time, you immediately go out of your way to find him just to give him all of your love.

When you do this, he's literally like: 🥹🥹 because no one at OSSOTEQ treats him like this.

He's new to all of this affection and attention, and always makes time for it...

As in, he will literally drop whatever he's doing just to receive kisses or hugs from you. Forget the boss's order to mop the bathroom floor, you just asked him to come to your cubicle for a hug.

He gets pouty and passive aggressive whenever you forget to kiss him good morning and/or good bye. He will ignore you for the whole day, and when you realise what you forgot, you have to shower him with attention.

He knows whenever you're in a bad mood because your hugs get tighter and your kisses become needier. It's become a sixth sense for him.

Overall, he loves all of the attention you give him, it makes him feel special and wanted❤️

Affection is so foreign to DAMIAN. He's always so uptight and probably has little to no relationship history, so go easy on him at first.

You touch him for the first time and he just freezes up because wtf just happened to him?? Why do you keep resting your hand on his??

Has a small problem with you being needy all the time, and usually tells you when it's too much for him.

That being said...he does not allow you to touch him during work hours. Big no, you will wait until lunch and/or when your shifts end. He has to maintain his professionalism. Whatever, keep doing it; it makes him flustered and he tells you to stop.

Deep down inside he wants you to continue, he just wants to keep his goody-two-shoes appearance 🙄

Secretly loves your touches and longs for them all day, and he will never tell you. Sometimes he can't wait until the both of you are away from work, and just awkwardly appears at your cubicle.

"I hate disrupting your work, MC, but...would you mind coming here for a second?"

He then proceeds to pull you into a hug. This man is secretly just as needy. He's been denied his feelings for most of his life; give him this chance.

Outside of work, he takes and accepts all of the affection and touches you give him without a care in the world.

Praise him. Do it, and you have putty in your hands! He adores being the centre of attention. The centre of your attention.

He likes the tranquil moments where the two of you sit in silence and he allows you to do whatever you want to him. Hug him, kiss him, play with his hair, talk to him, he loves it all ♡

EMERY is also not good with affection. They just don't have the time to constantly have their arm wrapped around you. They're very busy in their department, and doesn't have much time to be touchy with you.

But once they realise they've neglected you for too long, they're quick to apologise and now dedicates a day of the week to just being with you.

They come over to your house, and you're welcome to engulf them into a huge hug and/or cuddle them all day! They like to see how excited you are just by their presence.

Despite not really understanding your physical affection, they really adore your verbal affection.

Whenever you compliment their hair, their outfit, or quite literally anything in general, they feel like they're back in secondary school, obsessing over a crush...

It makes their heart beat faster, and their cheeks turn red. Out of embarrassment, they have to hide their face from you.

"You really think so? I didn't like how it looked this morning, so that meant a lot..." They say while twirling their finger around a lock of hair.

You're the first to ever make them feel this way, and they adore you for that. You make them feel special and validated ♡

And of course what kind of person would they be if they didn't validate you back?? The flirt with you about how stunning you look today or how you make their head spin from your good looks 🤭

GAVIN gobbles down every ounce of affection you give him. He's just as affectionate and touchy, and emphasises it in your relationship.

Similar to Josiah, you're not allowed to go anywhere unless you give him a hug and/or kiss goodbye.

"Mon amour, where is my kiss?" He puckers his lips; yes, he does this in front of everyone. Yes, he says it really loud for everyone to hear 💀

He's one of the few who is not scared to show off how he feels about you. Everyone can see how passionate and loving your relationship is, and if they have a problem with it, they can take it up with Gavin.

He always has an arm or hand on you. That way, he knows that the two of you won't separate in a large crowd...and as said earlier, to show you off.

He's a showy guy, he wants the world to know the two of you are together happily.

And to show off that you're off-limits💀 Deep down he can get insecure; or feel that you're out of his league.

And that's where your verbal affection keeps him going! Whenever you affirm to him how much you love him, and you're so happy to have met a guy like him, he gets all giddy and excited.

And out of excitement, he picks you up and twirls you around because AHHHH love ♡♡♡

He does that lovey-dovey stuff where the two of you "fight" over who loves who the "most-est."

Your relationship is the one that makes people jealous at how affectionate the two of you are towards each other; but you don't care, and neither does Gavin.

He's so in love with you, he never wants to be apart from you ♡

ANNETTE is hesitant towards affection. She doesn't know what makes you feel comfortable and what doesn't; so she kind of awkwardly waits for you to initiate it first.

Trust me, she's just as needy and in need of touch as you are, just give her some time.

As soon as she knows what you're comfortable with, she's all over you.

She especially likes holding you hand. She's the mf that does hand comparisons with you 💀

"Look how big/small my hand is compared to yours!" She exclaims out of excitement. She likes tracing shapes on your hands after comparing them to hers.

She lives for all of your touches, and uses them to energise herself.

Whenever you compliment her or uplift her in any kind of way, she loves it!! It gives her a huge confidence boost!!

If you're outgoing like Gavin and start publicly displaying your relationship, she freaks out because she's not use to all of the attention on her; but nevertheless she loves it!!

She likes knowing that you love her so much that you can show the people around you how much you love her; she thinks it's neat and heart-warming ♡

i actually wonder if emery and damian would get their own set of powers too 🤔 it wouldn’t be fair for them to go up against someone like josiah that seemingly has a strange ability of his own that is either altering people’s memories or reality OR messing with time itself

#turnip liker #josiah nguyen #damian stasiuk #emery bryan #if they *did*; it wouldn't be something outlandish or shit like that #🤔🤔🤔#jaunty rambles

I have to admit, I had a lot of fun writing the sinister version of Emery. I might do it more often. We'll see. In the picture above, you can kinda see what I was aiming at for her appearance. The hair color/style, makeup, eyes, and her outfit.

Following this (at some point) will be

Healing ((BTE happenings after the match, between Elite and Dark Order))

--and--

Phone Call ((aftermath of the match, following BCC in their locker room as Mox figures out a solution to their Emery problem))

Brandon and Nakazawa stood backstage, stretching and mentally preparing themselves for their match. Time was ticking away quicker than either would like it to, but they had no other choice. They would do this to avenge their fallen friends, even if it meant getting their asses kicked. As he bent over, stretching his arms toward his toes, Brandon began thinking and realized something strange.

“Hey, Nak.”

“Yeah?” the shorter man replied, looking up from his spot on the floor as Brandon stood back up to full height.

“Have you seen Emery at all today?”

Nak paused, his face scrunching up in thought before he shook his head, “No, I haven’t. Not since Friday.”

“That’s weird. I… I kinda thought she’d be here… ya know?”

“Yeah…” Nak gave a solemn nod before adding, “Maybe it’s best she’s not, though.”

“Right. I wouldn’t want her to get hurt. The Bucks—and especially Kenny and even Hangman—they’d never let me hear the end of it if Emery got hurt on our watch.”

Nak nodded in agreement before they heard the familiar ‘Wild Thing’ music play in the background.

Their time was up.

“No sense in delaying the inevitable, I guess,” Brandon frowned, holding a hand out to help Nak up off the ground, “You ready?”

“As I’d ever be. Are you?”

“Don’t have a choice, do we? Let’s just… go out there and… if we go down, we go down swinging.”

“Take one of them with us,” Nak gave a stern nod, his hands on his hips.

“Definitely. Let’s go then.”

The two of them made their way towards the go-position, unaware of the chaos that was about to ensue, as someone watched them from the distance.

She was shrouded in darkness, the shadows of the equipment hiding her well. Blue hair hung loosely around her face, which was covered in dark makeup. The piercing red eyes that peered out from behind the curtain of blue hair gave her an ominous presence, made even worse by her emotionless stare.

Emery was long gone and had been for hours now; the Dark Angel had even come and gone. What stood in the shadows was someone that only had been seen once in the past ten years.

All of the emotions that had broken Emery over the past month—heartache, loss, helplessness, hopelessness, tiredness, and betrayal—had awoken her deepest darkest being.

Minutes ticked by as she stood there, still as stone, ‘Wild Things’ done playing as the ‘Elite Anthem’ begins to play. In the blink of an eye, she was gone.

The Sinister Angel stalked towards the ring, a sickening smile appearing on her face. It was time to play.

-Meanwhile-

Kenny walked all around his home, looking in every room as he called out for her, “Emery?”

He had sat down to play a game earlier in the day, and she had been right beside him. It was their usual day-off activity, but he had noticed Emery seemed more quiet than normal. Her smile had seemed forced, and it was as though her mind was elsewhere.

Emery had promised Kenny she wouldn’t get involved in the match that night on Dynamite between Blackpool and Elite—or… what was left of the Elite. Brandon Cutler and Michael Nakazawa were all that was left—besides Emery—and easy targets for BCC. Kenny knew Emery could handle herself in a match—that wasn’t the issue. The issue was that Blackpool had no qualms about attacking anybody and everybody and had no problems making people bleed. The last thing Kenny wanted was for his Angel to get hurt.

Frowning, Kenny made his way to the only room he hadn’t checked yet—the bedroom. The door was slightly ajar, and he carefully, quietly pushed it open in case she was napping. But the room was empty.

“This doesn’t make any sense,” Kenny thought as he turned to leave the room—until something caught his eye. The closet was closed, but the light was still on inside. Walking over, he slowly opened the door, curiosity flowing through him. Emery was not inside, but from the mess he saw, Kenny knew she had been at one point.

“I wonder what she was looking for…” he thought, scratching his beard as he reached down to pick up a box. The lid was on top but seemed to be thrown on in haste. Taking a quick look at the contents before he shut the lid, Kenny froze in place as he recognized the contents.

“No… no—” He quickly set the box down on an empty shelf nearby before quickly shuffling through Emery’s clothes in the very back of the closet.

“Please let it be here, please let it—” Kenny whispered, his eyes wide. When he reached the wall, it felt as though his heart stopped, and he stood there in a momentary daze before shaking himself out of it. Hurriedly, he pulled his cell out of his jean pocket and dialed Matt’s number.

“Hey, what’s up, Ken?” Matt answered.

“Nick still there with you?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong?” Nick asked as he joined the conversation, worried.

“Emery’s gone—and so is her outfit for Sinister.”

“Shit,” both brothers replied, “You don’t think she’s--?”

“Oh, I know she is,” Kenny frowned, grinding his teeth as he raced down the stairs, grabbing his keys and running out the front door, “You guys don’t have to—I know you’re still hurt, Matt. But I’m going—I ain’t about to let BCC get their hands on her.”

“I’d be more concerned about her hurting BCC,” Nick said as a beeping sound was heard from their side of the call.

“If it was just one or two of BCC, yeah,” Kenny agreed, “But not four of them. We’ve seen how Mox can get sometimes. He won’t hesitate.”

“True. We’ll meet you at the arena, Kenny,” Matt told him.

“Just be careful. I don’t want you getting more injured than you are—and we know how Emery would feel if you did.”

“Yeah, we know. I’ll be careful—let’s just…. Let’s save our family, yeah?”

“Yeah.” Kenny tossed his phone into the cupholders between the seats as he drove, focused on the road as his jaw clenched in both worry and frustration.

“Dammit Emery, you --how could I not have noticed Dark or Sinister coming back?!”

-Back at Arena-

Emery stood in the shadows, watching the match from behind a curtain. It had only been a few moments since the start, but BCC already had the advantage. Both Nakazawa and Brandon were bleeding, the red liquid pouring down from the tops of their heads. Yet, neither refused to give up.

As she stood there, her hands clenched and unclenched, her short black nails digging into her palms each time she closed her fists.

They had started at a disadvantage, as Mox and Claudio had ambushed Nak and Brandon on the ramp and attacked them outside the ring before the match even started. Both men were clearly in pain but kept going, refusing to go down without a fight.

It was when Emery noticed Yuta taking cheap shots at Nakazawa outside the ring that her head tilts to the side. The anger and darkness inside her began to boil over as she stalks past the curtain that once hid her from view. Calmly, slowly, she walked towards the ring, dragging the black kendo stick behind her, the scratching on the floor like music to her ears—though at this point, she heard absolutely nothing.

Not even the crowd’s cheers and gasps when they saw her registered in her mind. Her red eyes were focused on the ring – and as she got closer, each member of Blackpool Combat Club stopped their attacks, staring at her. Mox nudged Claudio, gesturing towards Emery like ‘what the hell?’ as she stood five feet from the ring.

Slowly, she raised her free hand up to the hood on her head and pushed it back, revealing her blackened face as she stared a hole at Mox, ignoring the other three members for the moment.

Yuta stared across the ring at her in shock; this was not a version of Emery he knew, and to be honest, he was a little terrified.

The crowd around was cheering for her, chanting her name, but the voices didn’t reach her consciousness as she slowly crept into the ring, ignoring the referee’s warning. Mox waved him off, doubting that Emery would do anything at all.

“What’chu gonna do, lil girl?” He taunted her, a smirk on his face, “Playing dress up and make-believe again?”

Claudio chuckled beside him, his arms down at his side.

Nakazawa came out of nowhere, pulling on Claudio’s arm and turning him around before he began chopping at the taller guy’s chest. It caught the Swiss man by surprise, but with a swift knee to the gut and some elbow strikes to the back of the neck, Nakazawa was back out of the picture. As Claudio stood up, Mox began to walk towards Emery, a cocky smirk on his face until Emery finally moved. Her grip on the kendo stick tightened, her legs tensing to keep her balance, as she suddenly swung her arm towards Mox. The wood connected with his stomach with a sickening crack sound, the impact causing Mox to stumble backward and grip his body in pain. Claudio looked at Emery in shock, surprised she had actually done anything as the referee called for the bell ending the match as Bryan and Yuta climbed up onto the apron. Mox held a hand back at them, telling them not to get in the ring as he straightened up and glared at the woman in front of him.

“You think you got balls, eh--?” Mox sneered, stalking toward her once again- but she was ready. Her lips twisted up into a devilish smirk as she gripped the kendo stick with both hands and quickly spun around. The impact caught Mox directly on the back and the side of his ribs; she didn’t stop there, though, as once the sound reverberated around the area, she pulled the weapon back and made a quick succession of attacks. Ten seconds later, five blows in, Claudio quickly crossed the ring—causing Emery to avert the attack onto him. As the wood made contact with his ribs, Claudio closed his arm around it, stopping the kendo stick from moving.

“I don’t want to—” He tried telling her, but she was past listening. Emery let out a blood-curdling screech, causing Claudio to wince from the close proximity to his ears before launching herself at the taller man. The sudden force of her body against him caused him to tumble backward, landing on the matt as she rained down fists against his face. Bryan and Yuta quickly climbed through the ropes to stop her, Bryan being the one to wrap his arms around her mid-section and pull.

Feeling his arms snake around her, Emery locked her legs around Claudio’s and began scratching and clawing at him as long as she could. The instant that Bryan had a good grip on her, Claudio slid away from her, causing their legs to untangle. Another loud wail escaped her throat, making Bryan wince from the high pitch so close to his ear, holding on as tight as he could as she thrashed about against him. Yuta stood there, unsure if the person he was seeing was actually Emery; he was doubtful, but a part of him knew it was her. He would know that voice anywhere.

“Wheeler—do something!” Bryan yelled out, snapping the younger man out of his daze.

“Like what?!”

“Find something to hold her down!” Bryan ordered, his grip on Emery slacking the longer she fought against him. Mox had made his way back to his feet as Yuta climbed out of the ring and began looking underneath it for a form of restraint.

“Lil spitfire—” Mox smirked, actually liking what he was seeing from her. If he had known this side of Emery existed, he would have tried harder to bring her into the BCC. Emery clenched her hands onto Bryan’s arms, digging her nails into his skin as far as she could and dragging her hands back.

“Son of a---!” Bryan yelled, letting her go as he grabbed at his arms; long lines of blood began to trickle onto his skin from her scratches. Darting away from the three guys, Emery slid to the outside of the ring and disappeared under as they followed. Pulling back the apron, they were surprised to find her gone.

“Where the hell is she?!” Mox yelled, frustrated, as Claudio released the apron. They circled the ring, kicking at a beat-up Brandon and Nakazawa as they went. Suddenly, the lights began to flicker before going out completely. Nothing happened for a brief minute—until the sounds of metal on skin sounded, and shouts of agony came from Mox and Bryan. As the lights came back on, Emery reared back and heaved the steel chair forward, crashing it against Claudio’s back twice in quick succession.

She was breathing heavily, but a smile was plastered across her face; a noise from behind her caught her attention, and as her head snapped around to look at it, the smile on her face disappeared. When her eyes landed on Yuta, he froze in place just a few feet away from her. Handcuffs and rope were in his hands, and despite knowing he should snap out of it and restrain her as he was instructed to do, Yuta just couldn’t bring himself to do it.

“Ree….” He whispered, swallowing the lump in his throat. Slowly, she turned around, her head tilting to the side as she eyed him curiously. Foot by foot, Emery stalked towards him, her eyes never leaving his. Eventually, she was chest-to-chest with him, staring up into his brown eyes.

Brown eyes that once held adoration and love for her.

Brown eyes that had taken pleasure in attacking her family.

Brown eyes—that had shattered her heart.

A smile crept its way onto her face, and for a split second, Yuta thought he was in the clear until another high-pitched scream came from her, and she spun around. The heel of her foot left the ground, coming up to smack him in the head, throwing him off balance; the rope and handcuffs in his hands fell from his grip. She took the opportunity and launched herself at him, knocking Yuta to the ground—but before she could attack further, strong arms wrapped around her and yanked her off of him. The force of the pull caught her by surprise, her hands going to the arm around her throat and digging her nails into him. Mox grunted out in pain but refused to let go, instead falling backward onto the floor and wrapping his legs around her smaller frame. As Bryan reached down to grab the rope and handcuffs, he glared at Yuta but didn’t say a word to him.

“Bring her over here, Mox!” Bryan ordered as he walked over to the corner of the ring.

“One sec—” Mox said, tightening the grip on her a bit; the lack of oxygen began to take effect, and her struggles began to weaken a bit. When she was nearly limp against him, Mox pushed her off of and into Claudio’s waiting arms; he took her over to Bryan, who grabbed one of her hands and placed her stomach first against the ring post. Seething, Bryan slapped one of the metal handcuffs around her wrist before giving the other one to Claudio to secure her other wrist. This effectively gave her nowhere to run to, no way to get away from or attack them.

“Just for good measure,” Bryan huffed, taking the rope and circling it around her and the post just as she began to regain consciousness. He tied the two ends as tightly as he could and stood back, a smile forming on his face as he watched Emery fight against the restraints to no avail. She began screaming at them, much to Bryan’s annoyance; he lifted the apron and looked underneath, finding a toolbox and pulling it out quickly. Opening it, his eyes brightened as he saw the duct tape, and without hesitation, Bryan ripped a piece off and looked at Mox with a nod. Mox walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her head again, locking her in place, as Bryan forcefully applied the tape across her mouth, silencing her for the most part.

“Now… where were we?” Bryan asked the other members of BCC before they wrapped around the ring and grabbed Nakazawa and Brandon, tossing them into the ring to inflict more punishment. As they go to resume their attack, they’re met with some resistance, as Brandon and Nakazawa fight back, throwing punches of their own. It doesn’t last long, however, as the blood loss begins to become too much. Mox grabs Brandon’s wrists and began stomping against his face while Claudio stretches out Nakazawa and jabs elbow strikes into his neck area.

Yuta stands at the edge of the ring, watching as he tries to drown out the muffled yells coming from behind him. From her spot, tied to the post, Emery had no choice but to watch the attack on her friends. Her wrists began to redden from her fighting against the handcuffs, the skin going raw.

The timekeeper clangs on the bell, trying to get help out to the ring, but no one comes out. Mox lets go of Brandon momentarily, ripping off his protective mask as Yuta began throwing punches at him before stepping on his throat. Claudio lifts up Nakazawa, delivering a powerbomb, before kicking the unconscious man out of the ring. Mox exited the ring, grabbed a microphone, and threw the bell away from the table.

“Where are the Young Bucks? Where’s the Cowboy?” Mox asks as he hovers near Emery, taunting her as he mentions her friends; he walks away, circling the ring as he continued,” Where is that goofy ass looking Don Callis? Where are they? I’ll tell ya where they are. They’re still at the hospital!”

Claudio pressed his boot into Brandon’s face as Yuta kicked at him. Brandon tried covering up to protect himself, but he couldn’t. Yuta keeps attacking as Mox and Claudio stand side by side and look out at the crowd.

“They got glass jaws. Glass brains. Glass egos. They’re a bunch of bickering little babies. That’s not Elite. This right here--- we put the Elite in All Elite Wrestling.” Mox threw the microphone down onto the floor, turning around to continue the beat down on Brandon until a piece of familiar music flows through the arena.

At the sound of ‘Battle Cry’ the crowd cheers loudly, but the once soothing music doesn’t seem to register in Emery as she continues pulling at her wrists, blood slowly beginning to surface on her skin from the strain. Kenny stalked out onto the middle of the stage wearing light-wash denim blue jeans and his sneakers. His shirt had been abandoned somewhere backstage—when he had found a monitor and saw what BCC had done to his Angel. The anger was evident on his face—tonight, he was not playing around. Mox and Claudio had their attention on him as Yuta and Bryan continued kicking at Brandon.

Kenny pointed at the ring as he began to stalk down the ramp, stopping halfway and gesturing for them to bring it. As much as he wanted to look at Emery, he didn’t—if he did, his resolve would falter, and he’d want to go to her. Right now, he needed to focus on BCC.

Mox shrugs, telling Claudio, “I’ll do it,” as he exited the ring and sat down on the apron, mouthing off to Kenny.

From behind Emery, Matt, and Nick sneak out from the crowd, but it’s like she doesn’t see them. When they notice her state of mind, both brothers become extremely worried—and very pissed off. They slide into the ring behind an unsuspecting Claudio, Yuta, and Bryan. They turn around to see what the crowd was on about, only for Yuta and Bryan to get taken out by stereo superkicks. Claudio charges them but is met with a double superkick; with them causing a distraction, Kenny jumps Mox, who had his back turned, throwing punches at him. Kenny rolls Mox into the ring as he and the Young Bucks all team up on Mox. Matt and Nick are kicking while Kenny continues punching away at him.

Matt takes a moment and walks over to Brandon, who leaned in a corner against a turnbuckle, blood trickling down his face. Nick looks to the corner opposite of them at Emery and goes to walk towards her, only to be stopped by Kenny.

“You know how she is when she gets like this, she’ll only fight you—just wait… a little longer…” Kenny frowned, hating the idea himself. Nick gave him a hard nod, understanding and regrettably agreeing with his friend before grabbing one of Mox’s arms. Matt rejoined them and grabbed Mox’s other arm with his good hand, and performed a V-Trigger as Kenny climbed out of the ring. His blue eyes landed on Emery, and for a split second, he hesitated.

His heart was yelling at him to go to her, to help her—but he knew he couldn’t. It would only do more harm to her in her current state of mind. Shaking his head to clear the thoughts, Kenny looked under the ring as Claudio jumped up onto the apron. Nick quickly pushed him off as Kenny grabbed the large black toolbox that Bryan had opened to get the duct tape, closing the lid and sliding it into the ring.

Matt and Nick stood to the side as Mox used the ropes to slowly haul himself back to his feet, watching Kenny pick the toolbox up. Using both hands, Kenny’s features darkened, and he began to run at Mox with the toolbox as a weapon but stopped short as Matt stepped in his way.

“Wait, wait, wait—” Matt told him, holding a hand out. Kenny slumped back, a frown on his face as Mox gave a smirk, thinking Matt was helping him. Matt’s eyes slipped past Kenny, landing on Emery, before he looked away, blinking. Mox took the moment to kneel down, watching and waiting to see what would happen.

The eldest Buck reached into his pocket and, with an expressionless face, pulled out a screwdriver, holding it in Kenny’s direction. Nick pointed at it as he looked at Kenny, talking to him and encouraging him, while Mox began running his mouth.

“No--- No---” Mox shook his head, a bit of fear in his eyes as he realized what was coming. Kenny slowly stepped forward and delicately took the screwdriver from Matt’s hand, looking at it for a minute as the Bucks turned to Mox and delivered some stomps, knocking him back into the corner.

Mox spat in Matt’s direction, leaning on the ropes as he edged them on, “C’Mon!”

Kenny held the tool in his hand like a murderer with a knife as he stared down Mox; the determination was in his eyes as he listened to the muffled screams of Emery. She was beginning to tire, her energy waning quickly as blood dripped down her arms and onto the floor.

“Oh, I’ll come on,” Kenny told him before charging full speed at Mox. Claudio and Bryan quickly grabbed onto their friend, pulling him out of the ring just in time as Kenny reached the corner. The screwdriver plunged into the top turnbuckle—exactly where Mox’s head had just been—and it stuck. Quickly, BCC hopped the divider and slowly began exiting through the crowd. Nick climbed onto the ropes, looking out at them as Matt and Kenny stood behind him, watching for a minute. Kenny noticed the noise coming from Emery had disappeared and looked over his shoulder. He could see her body beginning to sway and quickly rolled under the bottom rope, hurrying over to her.

“My poor Angel baby,” Kenny murmured, reaching up and gently prying the tape off of her face. She groaned from soreness and how tired she felt, her eyes briefly flickering open to see Kenny standing there.

“I’m right here, my Angel. Rest now…” he told her, and instantly, her whole body slumped. Kenny had been prepared and instantly caught her, supporting her body with his. Matt and Nick quickly joined them outside the ring, occasionally glancing in the direction that BCC had disappeared.

“Nick, grab that toolbox—let’s see if there are some bolt cutters in it,” Matt said to his brother, who gave him a nod and slid into the ring. Luckily, there was a cutter in the bottom compartment, and Nick hurried back; carefully, with Matt’s help, he cut the rope apart, and it fell to the floor below them.

“Think there’s some keys back there for these?” Nick asked as Matt assisted him, holding the short chain of the handcuffs so Nick could cut them as well.

“Should be,” Kenny nodded, leaning down and placing a hand behind Emery’s knees as he lifted her up into his arms.

“Let’s hurry up and get her backstage to a doc. I haven’t seen her like this in years,” Matt said as they hurried around the ring and up the ramp. Kenny kept quiet and stone-faced as they walked through the back towards medical, seething on the inside.

Blackpool Combat Club would pay dearly for this. He didn’t care what it took and how much it might hurt him in the end—but Kenny would not let them get away with hurting his Angel like this.
