Chapter 5

A few days later Tasha, Lita, and Jami were once again getting ready for Monday night RAW. The last few days the three women had done all they could to avoid Jeff, Edge and Matt.

Jami, Tasha and Lita knew that the three men had no idea that the three women were going to join Shane's faction. In fact, the three women had no idea which faction the men would join.

The three McMahon's had decided that it would be better if the WWF stars improvised. So each person knew which team they would be on, for they had chosen their team, but the other stars had no clue who would make up the other factions. Everyone knew that tonight would definately be interesting. And that's all they knew.

That night Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley walked down the ramp and into the ring. She wore a short, leather, halter top dress and a snarl on her face.

Stephanie explained how she, Shane and her father 'just weren't getting along anymore.' Then she explained how they had decided to start their own seperate factions within the WWF, and they would let each Superstar choose their own faction.

"My faction is going to be a faction of the extremely talented WWF superstars." Stephanie said, carefully putting emphasis on the words Extremely talented. "My faction is going to be the Extreme Faction!" she said, again putting emphasis on the word Extreme.

Just as she finished that sentence, Shane's music hit and he strutted rather proudly down to the bottom of the ramp, where he stopped. He was dressed in black dress pants, a black dress shirt and a black suit jacket. To top it all off he had a pair of black sunglasses on.

Shane smiled up at Stephanie, who glared back at him. "Nice to see you looking as extremely slutty as ever, Stephanie." Shane greeted. Stephanie's jaw dropped open in shock.

Finally Shane began to speek once again. "Your faction may be extreme. Extremely cheap looking...extremely horrible...or extremely boring. But baby sister..the faction I'm going to lead into domination is lethal! Why, that gives me an idea. I'll call it the Lethal Faction!" Shane announced with a smirk.

As he finished speaking, Vince McMahon's music hit the speakers. He stopped at the top of the ramp, frowning at everyone. "I'm glad Shane and Stephanie have been doing something to fill their time. They've been working hard on coming up with catchy little titles. While I've...I've had more important things to do. So, I'll just stick with a title the has always worked in the past. Corporation!" Vince growled.

Loud music played as Jerry 'The King' Lawler brought out a large black box. He walked down the ramp, around the ring, and over to a podium that was set up in front of Lillian Garcia. The King sat the box on the podium and opened it, nodding at Lillian.

Lillian explained to the audience that she would call each wrestler by picking a name out of the box. Some would be called Individually, others by team. But each wrestler was free to choose their own faction.

Then Lillian began calling out name after name. The first name she called was Triple H. Stephanie smirked as Triple H sauntered down the ramp and into the ring to stand next to his wife.

Lillian called out the name of Buh Buh and D-Von Dudley, who stepped out to stand with Vince McMahon. Then she called out Stacy Keibler. Stacy walked out and stood with the Dudleyz. Then Lillian called out the team of Jaded and Angel, who joined their friend in the corporation faction.

Then Lillian called out Edge's name. Edge walked out in a pair of black jeans and an unbuttoned black shirt, his blonde hair hanging down in loose waves around his shoulders. Edge gave the crowd a large smile before walking past the Corporation. He paused by Shane, but then continued to the ring to join the Extreme Faction.

Next Lillian called out Steve Austin's name. Steve defiantly stormed out onto the ramp and past Vince. Then he stopped by Shane, looking at the cheering crowd. Stone Cold nodded at Shane before sitting down against a baricade.

Then Lillian called out Matt and Jeff Hardy. Matt came out in a pair of blue jeans and an unbuttoned black shirt. His black hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Jeff wore a white wifebeater, his hair once again pulled back into a purple Hardyz hat.

Both men walked down the ring and stopped next to Shane, just like Edge had done. But they to continued into the ring to join the Extreme Faction.

Finally there were only three main Superstars left. Such superstars such as Chris Jericho, Shane Helms, The Rock, Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, Tajiri, RVD, Scotty2Hottie, Albert, Spike Dudley (among others) had joined the Lethal Faction.

Undertaker, Kane, Molly Holly, Bradshaw, Crash Holly (among others) had joined the Extreme Faction.

Angle, Farooq, Test, Regal, Steve Blackman (among others) had joined the Corporation Faction.

Finally Lillian called out the final three names. "J.Lynn, Amethyzt, and lita!" she called out.

The three women walked out in black tight jeans with black t-shirts covered by black leather jackets. Each girl had left her hair down around her shoulders.

They all walked past the Corporation and walked down the ramp. They paused by Shane before walking to the ring steps.

Jeff, Matt and Edge walked over to the ropes and held them open for the women. All three men wore a smirking grin that seemed to say, 'we win'.

Jami, Tasha and Lita halted at the bottom of the steps. They looked around like they were looking something. Then something dawned on them, or so it looked by the looks on their faces. Jami held up one index finger to show that they had forgotten one thing.

Then they reached behind them to where black sunglasses, matching Shane's, were clipped to their back pockets. They put them on their heads as if they were headbands.

With that they turned and walked over to where Shane stood. He hugged each one of the girls as the guys looked on in a state beyond shock.

Then each woman opened her jacket to reveal their black t-shirts...which had the word B.L.A.D.E. spelled out on the front.
