A/N: Hey readers! Sorry it's been so long. Had a lot going on. However, in my absence, I have also been chatting with some cool wrestling writers themselves, one of which came up with a new signature move for Daniel, which I will be introducing in this chapter. Hope y'all enjoy!

It's the next Monday Night Raw and Ben is currently in full Daniel Dalton attire while filming a backstage segment for the show. Daniel appeared to be most eager for tonight and for good reason. Tonight was to be the beginning of some fun, thrillingly crazy stories involving some people he could not wait to start working with.

But first, there was another piece of business to be taken care of.

As Daniel is walking and the camera is rolling, The Miz and John Morrison suddenly come into the picture. They look enraged while Daniel just grows annoyed. They do nothing but glare at each other for a moment before Dalton becomes impatient.

"Can I help you?" He sarcastically asked and Miz answered.

"First, you disrupt my show two weeks ago, and then you ignore me when I demand an apology from you last week?"

Daniel's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"Oh! You were calling me out last week?"

"Yea, weren't you watching?" Miz looked more angered as Dalton let out a laugh and rubbed the back of his head with fake embarrassment.

"Well, tell you the truth Miz, I always go do something else whenever you come on. Or, if I have the show recorded at home, I always just fast forward through your crap"

"Oh yea, that's real cute. Maybe you've been gone for so long that you've forgotten who I am"

Daniel stares off in the distance with a dramatic sigh.

"If only I could, but no, I remember; and somehow, you're even dumber than you were the last time I was here. At least I grew up some"

"Well, while you were off growing up on some unknown indie scene, I've been here, putting this company on my back, and becoming the most talked-about WWE Superstar ever! You're not even on my level!"

"Hmm" Dan was clearly unimpressed and bored with all this. "So, is this the part where I'm supposed to challenge you to a match tonight? Because, we both know you're gonna come up with something stupid to decline, maybe even throw me in there with Morrison instead. Which, by the way Johnny, doesn't show a lot of respect from him to you; and even IF I wanted to waste my time on some Hollywood-wannabe spotlight whore, which I don't, I have bigger things ahead of me. So, if you'll excuse me"

A now infuriated Miz held his arm out to stop Daniel from leaving.

"Normally, I wouldn't be the one wasting my time with you, but you clearly need to be taught a lesson, little boy. So, I'll be happy to meet you in the ring later"

Daniel smirked, almost laughing under his breath.

"Miz, I grew up in this sport. I could teach you a thing or two; and though I may not have anything to gain from you, who doesn't love kicking the Miz's ass? So, I'll see you there"

Both competitors grew eager before the Miz walked away with Morrison by his side. The camera kept focusing on Daniel as he watched the two with determination.

Shortly later, the second hour of the show was kicking off with the match between The Miz and Daniel Dalton. The Awesome One was the first to make his entrance with Morrison by his side.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, occampanied to the ring by John Morrison! From Cincinnati, Ohio! Now residing in Los Angeles, California! Weighing 215 pounds! He is one half of the Raw Tag Team Champions, The Miz!!!!!"

The crowd boos as the two make their flashy entrance with their sunglasses and titles. They shortly make it to the ring and do their weird poses while the crowd continues booing before Daniel makes his entrance.

"And his opponent! From Fort Worth, Texas! Weighing in at 185 pounds! The Archangellllll, Daniel Daaaalllltoooon!!!!"

The crowd gets hyped as Dalton does his entrance with fireworks included. He high fives and fist bumps the crowd along his way to the ring before walking up the steps, continuing to wave and then climbing up the top turnbuckle. He raises his arms with open hands, almost like wings, before punching the air and jumping inside the ring. Miz continues to stare him down with John motivating him as Daniel goes across the ring, gets up on the turnbuckle and raises his hands again for the cheering crowd. He hops down and turns towards the Miz before both remove their large jackets and the match begins.

They start off by appearing as if they're going to lock up. Instead, Daniel delivers a stiff kick to the Miz's calf. The Miz backs away while holding his hand out, which Daniel snatches in an arm and wrist lock. He holds him there while smiling to the crowd before Miz stomps on his foot, releasing the hold before catching him in a side headlock. However, Daniel manages to slip out while tripping the Miz and face planting him on the mat. He laughs for a moment before jumping into a Oklahoma roll-up, which Miz quickly gets out of.

Dalton jumps to his feet with a shit-eating grin as his opponent just glares at him. The Archangel dares him on as Miz rises to his feet, catching him in a another headlock but gets pushed back to the ropes before Daniel forces him off. Miz comes back for a clothesline, but Daniel ducks under before running to the ropes. Miz is stopped in the middle of the ring looking to catch him in a hip toss, but Dalton turns it into an arm-drag. Both men make it to their feet and Miz gets caught with another arm-drag. They make it back up again and this time, Daniel lands a dropkick, sending Miz retreating to the outside. The crowd cheers as Morrison goes to cheer up his angered tag partner. They move back to the side of the ring right by the walkway with Morrison continuing to uplift his partner. The Raw Tag Team Champions are too preoccupied to notice the high-flyer launching himself over the top rope, taking both of them out before hyping the crowd. Not losing focus though, he grabs Miz and quickly throws him back in the ring. He gets up on the apron and awaits the A-Lister to return to his feet, landing a springboard dragonara into the cover. Miz kicks out at two and hurries to a corner. Once up, Dan immediately capitalizes with a Stinger Splash. He follows it with an Irish-whip, but Miz unexpectedly reverses it. Daniel goes into the opposite corner and kicks his legs up to stop the charging Miz, who blocks the kick and catches his left leg to place on his shoulder before dropping with his variation of the leg breaker. The effect goes straight to Daniel's surgically repaired knee, causing him to clutch it while groaning in pain. The Miz follows it by wrapping his leg around the second rope and kicking the rope. Daniel groans even louder as the ref pulls the Miz back. He gives him a warning before checking on the wounded angel.

Daniel is hurting bad, but fighting through the pain while slowly reaching his feet. He keeps assuring the ref he's good to go but once he stands, Miz does his stylish version of a running corner clothesline, clubbing his opponent to the corner before letting him fall. Then, by the time Daniel reaches his feet, Miz is jumping off the top turnbuckle and landing with an axe-handle. Dalton gets knocked down before being covered and kicks out at 2.

Miz spends the commercial break viscously targeting Daniel's knee, almost locking in a figure-four, but Daniel nearly caught him with a cradle. Miz has him in a one-legged boston crab by the time the show comes back on. The audience's clapping and motivation helps him to fight through, rolling on his head before kicking the Miz away. He returned to his feet, hobbling slightly, before Miz started throwing haymakers to try and knock him back down. Instead, he received a stiff forearm in return. They went back and forth for a moment, the crowd yay-ing for Dan's hits while booing Miz's, before Dalton started unloading with his series of strikes. Just when he was about to connect with the big final hit, Miz stomped on the injured knee, causing him to kneel back down. Miz grinned as he circled the Archangel and looked to perform the Yes Kicks; but when he landed the first one, Daniel just looked at him like that was stupid.

"YOU CALL THAT A KICK?! COME ON!" Dan shouted while patting his chest, daring him to try again.

A now angered Miz kicks him again, but the effect appears the same. Daniel keeps daring him on, shouting "harder" after each shot, but all they do is continue to infuriate him while frustrating the Miz. Finally, once Dalton makes it back to his feet, he starts showing Miz what real kicks are, along with a few forearms. He forces him back to the ropes before whipping him across the ring, which Miz again reverses. Only, he is unable to catch Daniel when he charges back. The high-flyer springboards off the second rope and nails Miz with a tornado DDT. He covers his opponent, only receiving a 2 count, but the crowd began chanting THIS IS AWESOME.

Daniel returned to his feet again, hyping up the crowd while gesturing for the Miz to return to his feet. He looked to be setting up for his spinning roundhouse, Angel's Feather. The Awesome One made it to his feet and Daniel went for it, but Miz ducked under the flying kick and hooked Daniel's arms, looking for the Skull-Crushing Finale. The Archangel struggled against it with all his might and managed to grab Miz's head and front flip him down; although he held on to his arms and pulled himself into an aggressive knee strike to Miz's face. The movie star-wannabe appeared to be out cold as Dalton went for the cover.

However, he didn't take into account how close Miz was to the ropes, or how close Morrison was to his foot. John ensured the match kept going without the referee noticing, but Daniel sure noticed. As Johnny started arguing with the crowd, the young star moved to the apron, waited for the Raw Tag Champ to turn around and laid him out with a flying knee. Daniel smiled and shared more high fives with the fans before returning to the ring. He then pulled the Miz, who was still out, away from the ropes and perfectly positioned him for the Angel Splash.

He made it to the top turnbuckle, rose to a stance while raising his arms and launched himself.

Unfortunately, the Miz rolled out of the way, causing Daniel to land on his feet and roll across the ring; and since he landed on his feet, the pain in his knee reawakened and he was unable to get back up, allowing the Miz to connect with his grounded DDT. Now Daniel seemed to be out as Miz went for the cover.

"1...2..."

The fighting Angel just barely made it out before three. The Miz was frustrated and shouted at the ref for a moment before returning his attention to Daniel. He went looking for another figure-four, but Daniel shoved him off before doing the Shawn Michaels kick up and dropkicking Miz into a corner. He jumped back up to his feet while the crowd started getting hyped again, knowing what was coming next. The Archangel grew and devilish grin as he eagerly waited for the Miz to get back up. Once he was up, Daniel ran across the ring, coming off the side ropes and launching himself into furious running dropkick right into the Miz's face.

"Archangel Arrow!" Todd Phillips called with epic fashion.

Miz fell out of the corner like a deadman collapsing before Daniel rolled out to the apron and rushed up the turnbuckles. He gestured to the cheering crowd and this time connected with the Angel Splash. With the hook of the leg, Daniel had the cover and the ref made the count.

"ONE....TWO....THREE!"

The crowd cheered as Daniel began celebrating the win with his music playing and the Announcer made it official.

"Here is your winner! The Archangellllll! Daniel Dalton!!!"

The crowd cheered as the ref raised Daniel's hand in the center of the ring. Of course, Morrison came in to try and get the jump on him, but Daniel was waiting for that. He ducked under his attempted clothesline and came back off the ropes to nail Morrison with the Arkham Faith Breaker. Both Tag Team Champs rolled out the ring with their belts and wounds while the winner continued to celebrate. This being Daniel's second straight victory since being back, against another former champion no-less, was creating big momentum for the Archangel. Not to mention, given he just single-handedly mopped the floor with two of Raw's most hated stars was quite a thrill. He was looking to be just as impactful here as he was in NXT and much more so than his previous run on Raw.

He continued to celebrate with the audience until a familiar sound came about.

Just like that, Dalton's music cut out and was soon replaced by the lights shutting down one by one. Not even a minute later, the whole arena was pitch black.

Just a moment later and a few spotlights shined on Dan while the stage lights themselves revived. Upon their illumination, the former Goddess herself had appeared with her entire playground set on stage. Alexa herself was on the swing with her cute and creepy smile directed at Daniel. He had his eyes narrowed at her; but on the inside, he was jumping up and down with excitement.

Plus, he couldn't help but think she was so adorable.

"Hi, Danny! I hope you don't mind, but I just wanted to introduce you to my playground; and I thought we could spend a little time together, just us kids"

Daniel looked at her suspiciously, even glancing around to make sure her friend wasn't around yet. Wherever one goes, the other isn't ever far with those two.

"Come on, Danny! No need to worry! I just wanna have some fun. I'll even let you sit on the other swing" she promised while swinging.

Daniel let out a reluctant sigh before exiting the ring and marching down to join her. He reached Alexa's Playground and just stared down at her with suspicion. In return, she just continued to smile up at him before gesturing to the other swing. Dalton accepted her offer, picking up the microphone that was sitting in the empty swing before sitting down. Alexa gleefully grinned now that he was with her.

"See? We're having fun already! Oh, and don't worry about him. I made sure he would let us have a private playdate"

"I guess I should be honored. What do I owe the pleasure?"

"Well, last week, you seemed a little tense. I hope we didn't startle you. We just wanted to pull a little surprise"

"Why me though? Or do I even wanna know?"

Alexa rolled her eyes with a laughing grin.

"Obviously, because we're fans of yours silly! Not just because you're an amazing fighter, you're a unique specimen all together"

Daniel smirked.

"Well, takes one to know one"

Alexa blushed and the audience, though taken aback by the surprising response by Dan, seemed to already be in to the chemistry these two were showing.

"Honestly, if this was last year, I could've seen this being quite the fitting alliance, the Angel and the Goddess" he continued and the fans seemed to enjoy the idea.

"But that's why I wanted you here, Dan; because like you, I was once considered a heavenly figure; worshipped by many, admired by all, always wanting to show people the light; but all that got me was lost, betrayed, and abandoned. That was, until he... found me"

Now this segment was getting slightly more ominous and intense.

"Now, I understand that you're a man of faith, but that faith is gonna lead you down the same path it did me; and I don't want to see that happen to you. So, I'm here to show you a better path"

Daniel let that sink in for a moment, knowing what this was about, but not letting it affect him.

"Lex, let's not be coy with each other. We both know this is about your 'friend.' This is because when he looks at me, he sees a kindred spirit; and someone like him loves corrupting and twisting someone like me into his own screwed up vision.... just like he did with you"

Alexa didn't seem too pleased about where he was going with this.

"Because, that is the only way someone like him can feel powerful, is by taking away someone else's light; and taking the light of an angel away would make him feel the most powerful he could be. But Bliss, you should really explain to your friend that though I may be an angel, no-one has EVER... considered me to be a saint; and though I may be a figure of the light, I do still know plenty about the dark already. Believe me when I say, even angels have their vicious side.... and we're never afraid to use it"

The audience cheered as they could feel the subtle, yet adrenaline pumping, intensity being shown. Little Miss Bliss, however, almost seemed to pity the Archangel. Then, quickly returning to her dark demeanor in response.

"Daniel, you know nothing of dark and viciousness. You may be an angel, but you know nothing of the hell my friend can bring, nor do you have any way of preparing for it"

The two just stared daggers at each other for a moment before the lights went out again. A minute later, they ever so slightly reappeared, just barely illuminating the stage, but enough for everyone to see who was standing behind the two.

Daniel and Alexa remained motionless, exactly how they were before the lights went out. After a second, Dalton grew a tiny, almost unrecognizable smirk before glancing back and up to see the Fiend. Once again, all parties just remained silent and without movement. They just stared daggers at each other with much determination for what was to come in the near future.

Then, the Fiend's frightening sound effect began screeching through the arena with the lights flashing. Alexa's smile grew wider and wider as the two opposing rivals stared down, ready for each other. Then just like that, the lights went out and that was their time for this episode.

A/N: Thank y'all so much, hope you enjoyed and thankyou RicoTheLegend again for the awesome signature! Lemme know what y'all think and see ya in the next chapter. Take care!
