CHAPTER 7: ONE MORE TIME
Later that night before Smackdown Live;
Orion arrives to the arena with Lyra. When he arrives, he's quickly being grip by Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.
"Hey, girls. Calm down", said Orion.
"That what you got for not telling us you're here in LA before", said Becky.
"Yeah, we're only got an information from a social media? That's not good, Orion", said Charlotte before she and Becky let Orion go.
"Somehow I felt regret coming here tonight", said Orion. The girls chuckled. Then, all 4 of them went to the catering area where they meet AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura.
"Hey, Allen, Shinsuke-san", said Orion before bro's hug with them both.
"How you're doing, bruh?" asked Styles.
"I'm great, mate. You two seems good", said Orion.
"Of course we are. So, how Shibata's doing?" asked Nakamura.
"He's great as usual", said Orion.
"Damn, I don't have a chance to meet him", said Styles.
"Same goes to me. Maybe we can visit him tomorrow", said Nakamura.
"Good. By the way, have any match tonight?" asked Orion.
"Yeah. I have a match against Rusev", said Styles.
"And I'll have Sami Zayn", said Nakamura.
"I see. Good luck then", said Orion. Suddenly, the producer of Smackdown Live came.
"Excuse me, Orion. Mr McMahon wants to see you", said the producer.
"Okay, then. I'll catch up with you both later", said Orion before went to the production area.
"Mr McMahon, sir", said Orion.
"Ah, there you are. You see, this morning we get an information that Jeff Hardy is not feeling well. Therefore, we need to have replacement and since you're here, why don't you have a match tonight?" asked Mr McMahon.
"Is it okay? I'm a New Japan employee after all", said Orion.
"Don't worry. Mr Meij had given his permission. So, what do you say?" asked Mr McMahon.
"Okay. But who will be my opponent?" askes Orion.
"Shelton Benjamin and he'll be accompany by Scarlett Kay", said Mr McMahon.
"Can I have someone in my corner too?" asked Orion.
"Sure, why not. But you must quick. Your match in 15 minutes", said Mr McMahon. Then, Orion left and send a text to a woman superstar.
Later that night;
"This match is schedule for one fall. First, accompany by Scarlett Kay, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighed in 248lbs. The Gold Standard; Shelton Benjamin".
Shelton Benjamin and Scarlett Kay are already in the ring. Suddenly, 'Time to Rock N Roll' hits and the crowds gone while as Trish Stratus makes her return.
"What's up, LA??" said Trish. The crowds chant 'Welcome back' for few times.
"You might be surprise seeing me tonight, but I guess you'll be more surprise seeing the opponent for Shelton Benjamin tonight. He is the one and only, my stepbrother; The Glory Hunter, Orion Steel!!!" announced Trish before 'Crack the Sky' hits and Orion makes his entrance. The crowds go wild and chanting 'Welcome back",
"Are you kidding me? The Glory Hunter is back in WWE"
"Yes, Michael. He's coming here but why? We didn't heard any rumour about him back here"
"Shut up, Saxton. Just enjoy the match will you?"
TING! TING! TING!
The match had starts with both of them are circling the ring for a while. Benjamin tried to head lock Orion but Orion is faster. He kicks Benjamin on his guts before hits a clothesline. Benjamin fell down. Then, Orion runs to the ropes to launch himself to Benjamin and hits him with double knee drop.
8 minutes later,
Shelton Benjamin tried to hits Orion with the superplex but Orion counters it by punches Benjamin ribs few times before performs a super spinebuster on Benjamin. Then, Orion sets up for his finisher and when Benjamin about to stands on his knee, Orion hits him with Puskas Kick and pinned him. When the reff is count on 2, Scarlett suddenly pulls the reff out. While the reff is arguing with Scarlett, Orion hits 1 more Puskas Kicks while Trish hits Stratusfaction to Scarlett. When the reff turns his focus back inside the ring, Orion locks Benjamin in Anaconda Vise and it only takes 3 second for Benjamin to tap out.
"Here's your winner; The Glory Hunter, Orion Steel!" The WWE cheers loudly.
Then, Orion and Trish bow down to the WWE Universe before left.
Later at the backstage;
"ORION STEEL!" cried Lyra, Becky, and Charlotte.
"Hey, don't blame me. Mr McMahon just ask me for a favour just now. I can't let go the chance to know my popularity, okay", said Orion.
"Oh, I see. Never though he will do such thing", said Becky.
"So, how does it feel returning to WWE?" asked Lyra.
"Great", said Orion.
"So, ever thought of returning here permanently?" asked Charlotte.
"Maybe one day, but if I ever return here, I'll make sure that I already get the IWGP Heavyweight title", said Orion.
"Wow, so ambitious", said Becky.
"If not, I'm not The Glory Hunter then", said Orion. The girls chuckled. Then, Orion went to the catering area and takes a seat with Trish.
"So, Mrs Hall of Famer. What do you think of my performance tonight?" asked Orion.
"Good but a bit harsh", said Trish.
"What can I say. I've been trained with Japanese Strong Style", said Orion.
"So, ever consider to come back here?" asked Trish.
"Not now. I already have NJPW for now. After all, there's something I must do with my brothers there", said Orion.
"I see. But if you ever return here one day and need a manager, you know who should you find", said Trish. Later, Shelton Benjamin approached them.
"Nice performance, Orion", said Benjamin.
"Oh, thank you. I have a former Suzuki-gun as my opponent after all", said Orion. Benjamin chuckled.
"By the way, how's Suzuki-san anyway?" asked Benjamin.
"That old man is good as usual. You shall come and visit him sometimes", said Orion.
"One day for sure. By the way, need to go now. See you around, Orion", said Benjamin. Orion just nodded before Benjamin left. A few minutes later, Scarlett came.
"Did you two see my boyfriend?" asked Scarlett.
"He just left few minutes ago", said Orion.
"Oh, so you know me and Shelton are dating", said Scarlett.
"Yup. Congratulation", said Orion.
"What about you? Still can't find a nerd to replace me?" asked Orion.
"Never try to find. I'm afraid I might get a worse bitch, so better to take it easy for now", said Orion.
"I'm sorry that nobody want you right now", said Scarlett.
"It's not a big deal. Being single means I have more free time to do whatever I want", said Orion.
"If you want me back, why don't you just say it", said Scarlett.
"Eww, who wants you? I have suffer enough. Don't need to re-suffer", said Orion. Luckily, he got a phone call later.
??: Hello. Is this Orion Steel?
Orion: Yeah, it's me. Can I know who is this?
??: I'm Bobby Gibson, chairman of Miami Rampage Wrestling.
Orion: So, what do you need from me, Mr Gibson?
Mr Gibson: Well, my promotion will have a show in 2 days. I would like to have you to perform for us that night. What do you say?
Orion: Why not. You got me.
Mr Gibson: Great. You'll have a tag team match against one of my tag team champion but it's a non-title match. You'll be team up with one of our roster. We'll pay you $500.
Orion: Ok, deal. I'll see you in 2 days then.
Mr Gibson: Okay. Thank you very much.
Then, they hung up.
"Who's that, Orion?" asked Trish.
"It's Bobby Gibson from MRW", said Orion.
"What do he want?" asked Trish.
"He wants me to team up with a wrestler in MRW show in 2 days time", said Orion.
"Oh, I see. Good luck with that", said Trish.
"Thanks, sis" said Orion. They kept talking without realise that Scarlett still there. Feel annoyed after being ignored, Scarlett walks away.
Later, when the show is over;
After said his goodbye to Lyra, Orion makes his way to his suite where Mandy and Sonya are watching a movie.
"Hey, girls. Never thought you already back", said Orion.
"Oh, hey there. We're watched it, dude", said Sonya.
"Watch what?" asked Orion.
"You just win a match at Smackdown Live aren't you?" replied Mandy.
"Oh, about that. Mr McMahon asked me to replace Jeff Hardy. I can't said no for that chance. He paid me $1000 after all", said Orion.
"Whoa, that much? Lucky boy", said Sonya.
"So, ever consider to return permanently?" asked Mandy.
"Not yet. I'm doing good in New Japan right now", said Orion.
"So, when will you return to Japan?" asked Amanda.
"I thought to return tomorrow but I was booked by MRW just now for their show in 2 days time. So, maybe I just return on next day", said Orion.
"So, you're staying here in LA?" asked Sonya.
"No, mate. I'm going to Orlando tomorrow and I'll take the flight to Miami on the next morning", said Orion.
"Wow, what a trip. Take care of your health, Orion", said Mandy.
"Aww, you're worry about me? So nice of you", said Orion. Mandy blushed a bit.
"Well, you're a good friend", said Mandy.
"Thanks. By the way, any of you want a supper? I'm going to order from the room service", said Orion.
"No, it's okay", said Sonya.
"Yeah, we're just eat anyway", said Mandy.
"Okay, then", said Orion before ordering food from the room service. Then, he go to take a bath. After wear his t-shirt and short pants, he switch on his gaming laptop and plays DOTA while waiting for his food to arrive.
