Title: Beyond Betrayal

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone in my Fan-Fic except for Brooke!

Chapter 1: A Friend

He stood there. He was shattered. He won, but he lost. He gave it his all and he won the championship. His best buddies turned their backs on him out of jealousy and deception. He had been one of them. They were "Rulers of Hell". They were the "baddest" group the world had to offer. They were true terror. They were hell raisers and he was the true "bad boy" of the group. The future generation. Until his world came crashing down.

Randy stood watched himself in the mirror. He was a mess. Drinking was what he had resorted to. It had been a week and a day since it happened; yet he remembered it so clearly.

Flashback

One…Two…Three! He had just beaten the champ to become the new champion. The next night he stood their celebrating his victory and his new reign as champ. He was having a blast. His friend just hoisted him on top of his shoulders and then he watched as the man who took it all away from him gave him the thumbs up which all of a sudden turned into the thumbs down. He was slammed and beaten to a pulp… bloody pulp. Then he was practically out cold.

"This is mine and I'll take it back from you disobedient son of a bitch!" he heard him scream.

End Flashback

He had to change and get ready to go to work. He couldn't live like this. He got dressed and walked into his locker room. Randy had no friends at this point. He was hated by everyone since he was with his "friends" and now his "friends" even hated him. Some friends they were, he thought. He still had pride left being the champion. He settled in his locker room and left it for a while. He walked down the hall, not really having a destination in mind. Maybe he was just searching for answers, or perhaps he just had to clear his head.

He couldn't see what happened, because he was still deep in his head searching. He had just bumped into her. Her, she was a beautiful brunette. She had one everglade green eye and another deep dark ocean blue eye and a striking smile.

"Sorry!" They said in unison. He helped her up.

"Hi, I'm Brooke. I'm such a klutz sometimes, I'm so sorry bumping into you." Randy looked at her with his ocean-like eyes.

"It's okay! Any one could've done it and plus, I was daydreaming not watching where I was going." He chuckled. This was the happiest he had been all week. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Randy."

"I know who you are, I saw what happened last week and I feel awful for you." Brooke said with an apologetic look.

"Yeah, well friends come and go, I'll live!" He replied with a bit of annoyance in his voice. With that said Randy walked back to his locker room saying "See ya later" with his back turned.

As he walked back to the locker room, something caught his eye. He saw them talking and gloating about they're accomplishment on beating a man down, three on one. He knew they were cowards, but they were obviously very impressed and satisfied with themselves.

"Those cowards!" Randy muttered under his breath in disgust. Right then, one of the backstage crew informed him that he Randy was summoned to the General Manager's office.

"Randy, you're going to have to defend your championship against him, no buts, ifs, ands, or ors. You're going to have to sign here." The GM ordered.

"And if I refuse?" Randy vigorously asked back.

"I'm going to have to fire you." The GM calmly replied.

Randy had no choice, but to sign the contract to fight Hunter in 3 weeks.

3 Weeks Later

Randy walked down the ramp as he stared into the eyes of his former friend. He didn't perform his trademark stance or infamous smirk. Tonight was all about retribution, revenge. He wanted his hands on him so bad. He was prepared to take him apart. With the ring of the bell the most anticipated battle in three weeks had begun. Punch after punch, blow after blow, kick after kick, Randy had beaten him down and he was going to retain his championship. He went for a strong right hand, but Hunter ducked and Randy hit the referee. Now the referee was knocked down, and Hunter was in the mood for some cheating. He stood up and in no time at all, the same three men that destroyed him four weeks ago surrounded Randy again.

"What's wrong, Chump? Scared of what's coming next?" Hunter questioned. Randy was usually fearless, but now he was beyond scared. He knew what they can do having done so with them in the past. Now Randy knew how all the people they destroyed together with Hunter and his goons had felt. He then realized how it was like to feel fear. He tried to flee out of harms way, because he knew sometimes retreating was better than being obliterated, especially in a situation like this. As he tried to flee, they caught him. He didn't even know what him. Randy was knocked out, and in a heartbeat he lost the fight.

The next day, Randy walked down the hall. He was feeling horrible about himself, horrible about losing. He was walking down the hall, until he stopped when he saw a familiar face. It was Brooke.

"Hey Brooke!" Randy exclaimed trying to be happy. It wouldn't do him any good moping around for days, maybe even weeks. He put on a charming smile on his face. Brooke saw right through his happy act, but thought that it'd be better than a sad Randy, so she decided to go along with his fake happiness and try cheer him up.

"Hi, Randy." Brooke said.

"Hey would you like to go grab a bite before the show begins?" Randy asked. There was no doubt he had a crush on her. He practically turned red asking her.

"I'd like that!" She said happily.

They walked into the cafeteria. While they had their snack, they had no idea none other than Hunter and his cronies was watching them.

"Boys, we just found Randy's weakness." Hunter grinned an evil, devious grin. As he walked away with his cronies right behind, laughing away. Meanwhile…

Randy and Brooke laughed and talked like old ladies at the park. They fell in love in not time.

"Randy, you have something on your cheek! Here lemme wipe it off." Brooke laughed. "Oh my gosh, Randy, are you blushing!" Brooke asked.

"N-n-n-no!" He stammered. "Maybe, fine, yeah!" He said as Brooke started giggling. They walked back to the hallway. Before they parted ways Randy kissed Brooke. It was unexpected yet passionate. Brooke was surprised and speechless while Randy blushed again. "I'm sorry! That wasn't supposed to happen." He said as he ran off before Brooke can say another word.

Randy walked back to his locker room and locked the door. He had to think. He didn't know what to do. He decided to go for a walk to go find Brooke and talk to her. He left his room to go find her. He found her, but he was in utter shock at how. She was on the floor, knocked out cold.

End of Chapter

Read and Review, I just had this idea and wanted to start this fic, but my main focus is Burn In My Light at the moment.
