*~ Starting Credits End ~*

The time had come, the season finale for the Shield Series. The trio had decided with Stephanie and Paige that it was best to have a small season due to their schedules. Between travelling from city to city, preforming in live shows and for Raw, SmackDown, Main Event and Pay Per View events, amongst other things, they were finding it difficult to find time to film the series. So they had decided together that this would be the final episode of the season, a kind of thank you for watching one and one so their friends and co-workers could get vengeance on them for their tricks and pranks.

"Warning the pranks and stunts you see in this show, have been performed by professional trained professionals. Do not attempt anything you see" spoke Dean, smiling slightly, he stood next to Paige, with the camera pointing at them, he smiled slightly, and was in his casual clothes, where as Paige was in her normal ring gear, a small smile on her lips at what was to come, considering they were the ones to be on the receiving end of the pranks rather than pulling them and running off into the distance or hiding in plain sight.

"We would just like to thank you for watching this mini series and helping us to create new episodes by sending tweets and getting in contact via social media. Without you guys watching on YouTube or via the WWE Network none of this would have been possible. So thank you" said Paige, still smiling even know she knew what was to come. It wasn't long before Finn Balor appeared in view of the camera, holding onto a bucket of something, a cheeky smile to match the sparkle in his eye. He knew this was his chance at vengeance for the WWE Universe special event where he had been caught out as he was one of the NXT stars preforming at the time. He soon seen his chance walking close to the pair of them as quietly as possible. Once he was close enough he raised the bucket pouring the contents of it over Paige, hearing her screech out and turn around to face him. To which he waved, an innocent smile on his lips as he quickly ran from the room.

"As this is the last episode of the series" spoke Finn, looking into the camera and then back behind him to make sure the now drenched Anti-Diva wasn't close or about to do a surprise attack on him. "We the victims of many pranks and tricks played by the small group are gonna get revenge. Unfortunately for the Anti-Diva and the Architect they are gonna get the worst of it. For orchestrating the pranks and mayhem that assumed" finished Finn before quickly running off after looking back, only to see a dripping went Paige heading his way. The camera followed them, turning just in time to see Paige slide across the floor and knock Finn of his feet, a smile on her lips a small chuckle coming from Finn shortly after.

"Now this is what you call fun to watch" came the voice of Dolph Ziggler as he walked off holding a cattle prod, he knew like they all did Paige and Seth were the master minds, but Roman and Dean had also taken part in it. Dean never denied his involvement having happily taken bets when it come to the hotel mayhem from the third episode, that being the one that most of their co-workers and friend wanted payback on. No one got away from it. The NXT stars wanted retribution for the havoc that had taken place during the last episode, they had been pre-warned about it yet assumed they would be safe due to them not being on the main roster.

"Jesus Christ" shouted Roman, when he was shocked while walking down the corridor, on the phone to his cousins Jimmy and Jey Uso. Dolph stood behind him a cartoonish grin on his lips as he quickly hid behind some creates. He knew Roman would look for him or at least be waiting for him to make an appearance. He could also hear Jimmy and Jey laughing on the other side of the phone, clearly having guessed what had happened or laughing at Roman's reaction to it. "If I find out who did that, then there will be no kindness for them" spoke Roman once he had got his heart beat back to normal and stop his thigh from the numb ache that occurred after the incident.

Dolph stood behind the crates trying to be as quiet as possible, but knowing he wasn't doing very good at it. He was having a hard time trying to contain his laughter, especially when he seen Finn come running down the corridor with Paige chasing him. He appeared to have her favourite cap in his grasp. He knew Roman had yet to leave his spot, most likely knowing the person responsible for the sped up heart rate and numbing pain in his thigh was still around somewhere.

"Can't blame are dear friends for wanting revenge" spoke Dean appearing from around the corner, a smile on his lips at seeing Paige run past him in an attempt to get her hat back. He knew Seth had accepted his fate for the episode and was willing to do whatever their co-workers wanted of him. Hence why he was currently with Heath Slater, R-Truth, Natalya and Foxy. Since they were the ones who had come up with the revenge plan for him. Where as Dean himself was waiting for the ones who had planned revenge against him for his part in the pranks and other mishaps that had occurred over the weeks and progression of the show.

"But still, a frigging cattle prod. As if Paige wasn't shocking enough before breakfast in the morning" responded Roman, seeing Dean's eyes suddenly grow wider, as a shocked expressed appeared on his features. The shock was starting to mix with laughter with he struggled to contain. Roman looked at Dean with an odd expression, hoping the other man would tell him what was so funny. Instead he continued to laugh until he was on the floor holding his ribs. He did however manage to point to someone or something behind Roman, causing the older man to turn around. Only to see Seth, wearing a penguin costume.

"I know, I look ridiculous" spoke Seth, he smiled as he knew he looked like an idiot. He had passed by a mirror on his way to them and seen how he looked, although he would never admit it to anyone even he thought the costume was amusing. Normally it would be an elephant, hot-dog or a chicken costume, yet this time they went for the penguin. "Finn is now trying to give Paige a make over. Saying he wanted to see if she would make a good Demon Queen and Sasha along with Becky and Bayley are looking for you Dean" added Seth, watching as Dean got up from the floor, walking towards the hall Seth had come from, having guessed the girls were down there somewhere.

"Ahhhhh come on. Seriously" shouted Roman when Dolph shocked him again through the crates. He knew the Samoan would be pissed beyond measure, but also knew he would be safe due to it being a revenge episode. Dolph looked around just in time to see Seth appearing around the crates in his chicken costume, he smiled before going back and saying to Roman there was nothing behind there. "Why me with this, you have to be a penguin for the day, Paige got doused in water and is now getting a make over from Finn, Dean is getting god knows what from Sasha, Becky and Bayley. And here's me getting the mental torture" added Roman. He noticed Seth taking a few steps back, although he didn't know why until he turned around noticing his cousins with what looked like pies or cakes of some sorts. "No, please don't do that" spoke Roman before running off down the hall. Seth once again laughing. Well that was until he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"PENGUIN!" shouted Paige, before running at Seth and launching herself at him. He quickly braced himself for the impact knowing that she loved penguins. After all they were here favourite animal along with tigers. He soon felt a pair of arms wrap around him and her weight on his back. He could also hear someone laughing, that someone he guessed would have been Finn, since he had given Paige the make over, to transform her from the Anti-Diva to the Demon Queen.

"Seth I might keep Paige. She makes an awesome Demon Queen" commented Finn, admiring his work. How her black hair now had red and white braids going through it. Her make up was a little more Gothic, with the body paint on her stomach of what appeared to be claws or claw marks. She had lace gloves on with the red and white streaks coming off, as well as a small tiara in her hair. To finish the look she also had yellow contact lenses in. Seth turned to face Finn, hooking his arms under Paige's knee's turning her dive into a piggy back. Finn couldn't help but chuckle and take a picture of the pair of them.

"My Paigey" responded Seth, with a stern look on his features. Finn had a hard time taking him seriously due to him wearing a penguin costume and having Paige in the Demon Queen form on his back. "What the ….." spoke Seth when he seen Dean round the corner. The man no looked like he was when he left, actually he looked like he had been dragged through a bush backwards, as well as having a really bad day. Dean just smiled, knowing he had scared a few of his co-workers. Layla having almost deafened him when she screamed at seeing him. Where as Summer had jumped slightly since he had stood behind her, quickly regaining her composure and saying she hated him for scaring her.

"Where's my ring gear" suddenly came the booming voice of Roman. Paige looked around from her place on Seth's back. Tapping Seth several times so he would turn around. "Really where is my ring ….. by gods what happened to you two?" asked Roman, noticing Finn had disappeared rather mysteriously, he was now beginning to suspect the NXT star known as the Demon King had something to do with his ring gear going missing. "Are you three going to go out and wrestle like that?" asked Roman, he was at least thankful it was a WWE Live Show. They were currently in Paige's home country. And knew there were a lot of people there to see them compete.

"Yes we are going out like this. Did you not see the promotional poster for tonight. It said all your favourite superstars and diva's, as well as a zombie, penguin, wizard and a demon" spoke Paige, revealing she knew what Roman was going to be going to the ring as. "Dean is the zombie, Seth here is the penguin. Thanks to Finn's skills I'm the demon. So that means you are the wizard. Although which one is the question" added Paige smiling slightly. The WWE Universe in Birmingham were probably thinking they were joking when they were advertising a penguin, zombie and wizard to be competing and were probably presuming the demon was referring to Kane.

Matches

"We're here at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham England, for the WWE Live Show. Where an eight man inter-gender elimination match is set for the main event" spoke Michael Cole. He was aware that he was being filmed for the season finale of Shield Series. Just like he knew this was the only match of the night to be filmed. "We are a very special match up as this is the first time ever where a Penguin, Zombie, Wizard and Demon are making an appearance here in WWE" added Cole, knowing this was going to be interesting. He knew they were making an appearance but didn't know who they were.

"Randy, Batista, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are in the ring waiting for their opponents. This being the first time in a couple of years Stephanie has competed, saying she wanted it to be a special appearance" added JBL. He too knew their opponents were the ones to have been advertised although he had no idea who these four were. Or that it was all part of Shield Series something memorable and likely to never happen again.

Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta SHIELD echoed through the arena, at the top of the stairs appeared the three members of the Shield. Roman appeared in a Harry Potter costume, complete with the scar, glasses and wand. Seth was in his penguin costume where as Dean was acting like his un-dead persona, scaring several members of the WWE Universe as he went past. The commentators even appeared to be slightly surprised at what they were seeing on the titantron. Jerry Lawler being god smacked.

"What in the world happened to the shield?" asked Jerry when he finally found his voice again. It was only when the help to the side whispered to the three of them, that for the night only they weren't Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollin or Roman Reigns. "Makes we wonder who their partner for the night is, and what that person will look like" added Jerry, a small chuckle escaping him when he seen Roman, waving his wand around like it would actually do something.

"Introducing their opponents, making a special appearance. Zombie Ambrose, Penguin Rollins and Roman Potter" spoke Justin in the ring, trying not to laugh, he knew the WWE Universe were well aware that they were the members of the Shield. That being what made it so hard to keep the smile and not laugh, as well as act professional. The music soon changed, the demon like scream blasted through the arena followed by the rockish music. "Introducing their partner, from parts unknown. The Demon Queen" added Justin, watching as the four misfit characters got into the ring. He knew the WWE Universe would cheer the four no matter what, after all Paige was basically the home girl, hailing from the country, although not the city. Justin soon exited the ring, watching as the referee called for the bell and only himself and the two to start the match were left in the ring.

"So the special match up here tonight, Batista starting it out with Penguin Rollins. The rules are as follows. The Superstars will face each other, where as Stephanie and Paige will face each other. The match will continue until all of one team has been eliminated. If Stephanie or The Demon Queen are eliminated then the other has to go backstage as well. Once you have been eliminated they have to return backstage. There are no disqualifications or count outs, all eliminations must take place inside the ring" spoke Michael Cole, watching as the duo in the ring locked up, Seth using the beak of his costume to head butt Batista with, breaking the hold the bigger man had on him. He soon went for a drop kick, sending him down to the mat. Batista soon got back to his feet, delivering a devastating spine buster to Penguin Rollins. He soon dragged said penguin over to his side of the ring, tagging in Randy who happily stomped on all of the joints, and delivered a wicked Neck Breaker, although you wouldn't have guessed by how quick Seth out to his feet, delivering some kicks and forearms before tagging in his magical tag team partner

Towards the end of the match. Stephanie had submitted to Paige's submission or in this case The Demon Queen's submission. Randy had been pinned after a Dirty Zombie Deeds to a steal chair, and Batista was currently caught in some kind of submission by Penguin Seth. Roman had been power-bomb through the commentator's table. Where as Triple H had been speared through the barricade separating the ring area from the time keepers area. It wasn't long before Batista tapped out to the unknown submission.

"Batista has been eliminated" spoke Justin, informing the WWE Universe in attendance there was now only one team member remaining for the opposite team, who had two people to face. Paige had eliminated Stephanie and thrust had no one to go again, where as Dean had been eliminated shortly after he pinned Randy. Triple H slowly got into the ring, shaking his head a few times to get rid of the cobwebs. He had enough ring awareness to deliver a thunderous clothes line to Seth, turning the poor man 360 with a hard landing. He soon delivered a spine buster quickly followed by a Pedigree and pinned the penguin. "Penguin Rollins has been eliminated" announced Justin. The match was officially one on one. Triple H vs Roman Potter.

Triple H quickly got out of the ring, retrieving Roman from the collapsed table wreckage. He soon threw the Samoan back into the ring, watching as the penguin wobbled backstage. He tried to pin Roman but only got a two count. He continued to stomp on his opponent, but make the fatal mistake of launching Roman into the ropes, which gave Roman the leverage he needed to deliver the spear, quickly pinning Triple H for the win.

"Here are your winners. Roman Potter, Penguin Rollins, The Demon Queen and Zombie Ambrose" spoke Justin as the Shield's music began. Dean, Seth and Roman along with Paige stood in the middle of the ring, the three returning from backstage. The four of them celebrating in the ring together. Where as Michael Cole announced to the world through his commentating that the match was for the final episode of the Shield Series.
