(One week later)

Bliss Kingdom drove up to the arena for Raw tonight and they're mentally prepared for what Lacey and the First Army has in store tonight.

Lexi: I wonder who are these four new members for the First Army

Finn: remember what Lacey said, these four new members consist of three gentlemen and one woman

Randy: and Lacey said that Becky knows this woman well

Becky: whoever she is, she'll fall to the Man

Chase: I have a feeling that these four new members mean business

Alex: no doubt about that, bro

Xander: come on guys, let's go to our locker room

The Kingdom went to their large locker room and settled in. They were on their phones as the show will not start for another hour. While they were doing that, they heard a knock on the door, Sasha opened it and standing outside were the First Army's Jessamyn Duke, Marina Shafir and Shayna Baszler, 3/4 of the MMA Four Horsewomen. Charlotte, Becky and Bayley saw them and joined the Legit Boss.

Becky: can we help you?

Shayna: we're not looking for a fight, Lynch

Becky: your face expression says it is

Charlotte: calm down, Becky

Bayley: what do you three want?

Jessamyn: we came here on behalf of our leader, Lacey

Marina: she has invited all of you for her welcoming ceremony

Sasha: ceremony for what?

Shayna: the First Army's four newest recruits

Sasha: whoever they are, they'll fall to Bliss Kingdom

The three MMA fighters smirked and walked away; Sasha then slammed the door.

Sasha: they're starting to get on my nerves

Becky: don't worry Sash, we will kick their lasses

Charlotte: we have changed the face of women's wrestling while those three were in the UFC

Bayley: this is not the UFC, this is WWE

Sasha: damn right

The Four Horsewomen threw up their four fingers.

As the Kingdom relaxed, Travis sat down beside Billie, drawing some teasing looks from the rest of the group.

Travis: hi Billie

Billie: hey Trav, you need anything?

Travis: actually, can I ask you something?

Billie lightly blushed.

Billie: what is it?

Travis: can I take you out to dinner tomorrow night?

Billie: are you asking me out on a date?

Travis: you can say that...

He winked which made Billie blush more. The Femme Fatale turned to Peyton who mouthed her to say yes to the American Nightmare.

Billie: sure Travis, I would love to go on a date with you tomorrow night

Travis: awesome, I'll pick you up tomorrow night

Billie: okay

The two exchanged a hug. Then Travis fist bump the guys.

Alex: alright Travis!

Chase: now all of us are in a relationship

Josh: damn right

Seth: you two are so cute

Finn: go get her, Travis!

Xander: welcome to the fraternity, bro

Travis: slow down guys, it's just one date

Billie: you guys are sometimes crazy

Peyton: well I don't know bestie, but I agree with the guys

Lexi: me too

Charlotte: same

Sasha: yup

Becky: same here

Bayley: I agree too

Billie: stop guys!

She heavily blushed while the others chuckled.

(One hour later)

The show has started and Bliss Kingdom were all in the ring to call out the First Army. The three co-founders: Lexi, Randy and Finn were up front while the rest of the Kingdom stood behind them.

Lexi: last week, Josh and Finn defended their Raw Tag Team Championship successfully against the Revival

The crowd cheered as Finn and Josh raised their tag titles.

Lexi: however, our celebration didn't last long as the First Army's co-founders: Lacey Evans, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano notified us that they have recruited four new members to their cause

Finn: so Lacey has invited all of Bliss Kingdom to her welcoming ceremony to welcome her four newest recruits, so Lacey, you and your Army get out here right now!

(Like a Lady plays)

Lacey, Tommaso and Johnny came out followed by the rest of the First Army.

Lacey: oh Bliss Kingdom, I'm so glad that all of you can make it to my ceremony

Lexi: cut to the chase Evans, who is part of your Army?

Lacey: well before I was interrupted by the little runt; I want to let my fellow soldiers talk first

The Lady gave the mic to Johnny.

Johnny: now Randy, your protege Alex Auditore has intrigued me with his fighting style; adopting everything he learned from an old man like you

Randy: you think you're real funny, Johnny Gargano. How about doing me a favor and here's some rookie's advice, stay the hell out of my way or you and your entire Army will feel the destruction of the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment and that is R-K-O or in this case in Alex's perspective, A-K-O 

Alex smirked.

Johnny handed the mic to Tommaso.

Tommaso: now I want to get this off my chest and this is about you Finn Balor. I was the greatest NXT Champion until I realized that I was overshadowed by your past reign-

Finn: glad you brought that up, and to remind you, I was the longest reigning NXT Champion

The crowd cheered while Finn smiled and the Kingdom applauded and Tommaso was covering his ears.

Tommaso was frustrated, so he handed the mic to the leader of the Undisputed Era, Adam.

Adam: what I heard is there is an open challenge tonight from one of you

He pointed his finger in the ring until it stopped at Xander.

Adam: ah that's right, the Intercontinental Champion, the so called Legendary Wrestler Xander Kross

Xander stepped up beside the Kingdom's co-founders.

Adam: that's a nice title you have there, it's a shame that someone will take it later

Xander motioned Adam that he is invited to the challenge later tonight.

Adam then handed back the mic to Lacey.

Lacey: now we can get on to business

Becky: who is this woman you said that I know very well?

Lacey: I'm glad you asked that, Ms. Lynch, I was going to reveal her now. Ladies and gentlemen, the first of the four newest members to the First Army!

https://youtu.be/fvcVCK0PpyY

Out came the Baddest Woman on the Planet and the same Superstar who Becky defeated at WrestleMania for the Raw Women's title, Ronda Rousey. Ronda stared daggers at Becky in the ring while she rejoined with her fellow MMA Horsewomen Shayna, Marina and Jessamyn.

Becky: oh hey Ronnie, still upset that I beat ya?

Ronda: you're real funny Becky, real funny, but you almost forgot that I'm owned a rematch for that title over your shoulder

Lacey: all of you seem surprised! Now each of our groups have the Four Horsewomen

The two Four Horsewomen groups put their fingers up motioning the number four.

Lacey: now that is done, I want to introduce to you all the three gentlemen who gladly accepted my invitation to join us, and trust me, these three are not like what you guys fought against the Wolf-Pack, and unlike you these three fight with class. Ladies and gentlemen, the three newest members!

https://youtu.be/gYt_03_qeLA

Bliss Kingdom couldn't believe it, the three newest members of the First Army were unfamiliar to them. Out came Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner and WALTER, three men who rampaged through NXT UK. The three European Superstars stood with their hands behind their backs.

Lacey: surprised, Bliss Kingdom?

The Kingdom were at awe of the size of the Austrian Anomaly, WALTER who stands at 6'4" weighing in at 297 lbs.

Lacey: just a bit of information, WALTER serves as the First Army's muscle

Lexi: we don't care who you'll bring to the table Evans, they will bow to Bliss Kingdom

Xander took the mic.

Xander: and Adam, if you want to accept my challenge, then you're on!

The crowd cheered loudly. Raw was on fire tonight with the addition of Ringkampf and Ronda Rousey in the First Army along with Adam taking on Xander for the Intercontinental title.

(Backstage)

The Kingdom were still reeling the effects of the events involving the First Army's newest recruits.

Lexi: Lacey has that overhyped rookie, that's no surprise

Charlotte: Becky, Bayley and I had a confrontation with Ronda, Jessamyn and Marina a couple of years ago

https://youtu.be/2IFRWGOONrg

Finn: I'm not too familiar with the three men: Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner and WALTER. I don't know if Jordan was ever associated with them

Chase: here, I found a video of WALTER's NXT UK debut

The Kingdom watched WALTER's debut. Instantly WALTER showed his brute strength with his signature chop.

https://youtu.be/ipEuInWffmA

Alex: good God almighty, he almost killed him!

Josh, Seth, Finn and Chase cringed at the chop while they were holding their chests.

Seth: I feel sorry for the guy who had to step in the ring with WALTER

Chase: I don't think someone like Braun Strowman can take this guy down

Charlotte: or your challenger Drew, babe

Chase: yup

They continued to watch the video. The match ended with WALTER performing a powerbomb.

Xander: he beat him in less than four minutes

Josh: we can't take WALTER lightly

Peyton: I wonder if his opponent had a hand print in his chest

Chase: there's an interview with the guy, I'll load it up

https://youtu.be/N58JTguxiws

They watched the video of WALTER's opponent, Jack Starz commenting on his one sided massacre against WALTER. The camera zoomed in on his chest which showed a red hand print.

Finn: oh, that's gotta hurt

Billie: a painful souvenir on his chest

Charlotte: he makes my dad's chops look weak

Becky: I'm surprised that he's still breathing

Sasha: or even walking

Bayley: and his heart is still beating

Lexi: I feel sorry for the guy

Chase put his phone away and the Kingdom looked to the monitor and see that Xander's match with Adam is next.

Xander: well I'm up next, guys

Sasha: good luck baby

The Legit Boss kissed her boyfriend.

Xander: I'll win for you, my love

The Legendary Wrestler exited the locker room.

(Fast forward towards the match)

After both men made their entrances, it was time for the championship match. Xander and Adam locked up.

(Backstage)

Sasha: come on baby

Becky: don't worry Sash, he'll win this

Finn: he's the Legendary Wrestler for a reason

They continued to watch the match.

(In the ring)

Xander landed a high Overdrive on Adam.

Thre- Adam got his shoulder up.

Xander picked Adam up to set up the Code of Silence. He got the Panama City Playboy up his shoulders, but Adam got out of it and hits a superkick on the Legendary Wrestler. Then Adam launched from the ropes and hits the Last Shot.

2

Thre- Xander got his shoulder up

Adam was getting frustrated of Xander's resiliency. In a last ditch effort to put down the Legendary Wrestler for good, he climbed the top turnbuckle and waited for Xander to get up.

The Legendary Wrestler slowly got to his feet and made his way to where Adam is. Then the Panama City Playboy executed his move, the Panama Sunrise. Then as Adam surveyed the damage, Xander wasn't moving.

The referee checked on Xander to see if he's moving, but the Legendary Wrestler laid motionless. The referee threw up the X and the bell rang.

The crowd were silent and concerned for Xander as paramedics came rushing down the ring to load the Legendary Wrestler on the gurney.

(Backstage)

The Kingdom were horrified of what just happened; Sasha was on the brink of tears after she saw what happened to her boyfriend.

Sasha: is he gonna be okay?

Finn: I don't know

Becky: he wasn't moving

Sasha: I wanna be with him

The Kingdom exited the locker room just in time to see Xander on the gurney laying motionless.

Sasha: Xander? Xander?!

Paramedic: what's your relationship with him?

Sasha: I'm his girlfriend, can I ride with him?

Paramedic: okay, let's go

Finn: all of us we'll meet you two at the hospital

Sasha nodded and left with the paramedics. Then the Kingdom packed up their stuff and left for the hospital.

Alex: I hope Xander will be okay

Lexi: I hope so too

The Kingdom went to their cars and drove to the hospital.

(1 hour later)

They reached the hospital and found where Xander's room is as they saw Sasha. They sat down and waited. Then the doctor came out.

Finn: how is he, doc?

Doctor: well Xander landed on the back of his neck after taking that move, but he's stable

Becky: can he wrestle?

Doctor: well, I'm afraid not, the damage to his neck is severe, so Mr. Kross has no choice but to retire from wrestling

(A/N: Xander's neck injury is the exact injury that caused Edge to retire)

The Kingdom were distraught.

Becky: can we see him?

Doctor: of course, he's awake now; you may go in

Finn: thank you doctor

The doctor took his leave; the Kingdom went in and saw Xander with eye bags as he looks he hasn't slept in days.

Finn: hey baby brother

Becky: hi Xander

Xander: hi guys

Sasha: how are you feeling baby?

Xander: how am I feeling? I feel like my life ended in a flash

Lexi: look don't worry, we'll have retribution against Adam for what he did

Josh: we'll take care of the Undisputed Era for you

Chase: hell, even Ringkampf

Seth: the whole First Army

Xander: guys, you have to hear me out first

Charlotte: what?

Xander: I don't think I can do this anymore

Bayley: what are you talking about?

Xander: I don't think I can wrestle because of my accident

Sasha: babe, don't say that

Xander: look what happened to Edge and Tyson Kidd; I suffered the same fate they went through!

The group were shocked of Xander's voice tone.

Sasha: can you guys leave us for a while?

Lexi: sure Sash

The Kingdom left the room leaving Sasha and Xander to themselves.

Sasha: babe

Xander: what?

Sasha: you're gonna be okay?

Xander: I don't think I'm not gonna be okay physically and emotionally

Sasha: you still have me

Xander: I don't think there will be an us anymore

Tears began to fall from Sasha's eyes.

Sasha: what?

Xander: look Sasha, I almost died in the ring

Sasha held his hand.

Xander: I believe it's for the best that you should move on from me

Sasha: what you gonna do, Xander?

Xander: after I check out, I think I'm gonna go home to Marseille to be with my parents

Sasha: what about your house here?

Xander: I'm gonna sell it along with my Lamborghini and I already have a potential buyer

Sasha: who is it?

Xander: well based what I'm hearing; this gentleman is a pro wrestler like us and he comes from a rich family like me

Sasha: is he in WWE?

Xander: yeah, he is

Sasha: well it was nice to know you Xander

Xander: it was nice to know you too, Sasha

The Legit Boss and the Legendary Wrestler kissed one last time before Sasha tearfully pulled back.

Sasha: when are you gonna leave?

Xander: well the doctor said that I can check out tomorrow and my flight to France is tomorrow

Sasha: can we tell everyone about this?

Xander: of course, bring them in

Sasha called back the Kingdom.

Finn: what is it, baby brother?

Xander: well everyone, I have some unfortunate news to share with all of you

Becky: what?

Xander: I'm gonna go home to Marseille tomorrow

Alex: is this a vacation?

Xander: no, it's forever

Josh: what, why?

Xander: my injury prevents me from ever wrestling again

Bayley: what about your relationship with Sasha?

Xander: I'll let Sasha tell you, but not here

Charlotte: then she'll tell us outside

Peyton: hold on please

The girls exited the room to talk.

Charlotte: okay Sash, tell us

Billie: what happened?

Sasha: Xander and I... broke up

Becky: come here, Sash

She pulled the Boss in for a hug while Bayley rubbed her back.

Peyton: will you be okay?

Sasha: I'll try to be strong

Charlotte: what else did he tell you?

Sasha: well he said that he sold his Lamborghini and his mansion to another WWE Superstar who has the same life as him

Billie: did he tell you who the buyer is?

Sasha: no, I didn't ask that

Lexi: come on, let's go back inside

The girls went back in Xander's room.

Sasha: hey...

Seth: you okay, Sash?

Sasha: I'll be fine

Xander: don't worry, I already tell the guys everything

Alex: it was good to have you on our side

Josh: good luck on your future, man

Chase: it was an honor to meet you

Travis: I'm glad to have you as a friend and brother

Xander: thank you all, but now I have to let the WWE Universe know

He grabbed his phone and sent out a tweet:

XanderKrossWWE: due to the unfortunate injury that took place earlier tonight on Raw between me and Adam Cole, I announce my retirement from in ring competition and I'm vacating the Intercontinental Championship. Thank you WWE for the biggest opportunity in my wrestling career and your hospitality as I return home to Marseille. Be warned First Army, you may have taken me out of commission for good, but the bond of Bliss Kingdom is still strong.

Xander: it's official guys

He grabbed his bag and took out the Intercontinental title and handed it to Lexi.

Xander: give Hunter this

Lexi: you got it, Xander

(The next day)

The Kingdom followed Xander to the airport as this was the last few moments with the Legendary Wrestler before he leaves for good.

After a 45 minute drive, they reached the airport. Everyone stood in front of the main terminal and said their final messages to Xander.

Finn: I remember training you at the age of 10 and I saw the potential in you, and look at you, your career took off, but now you're going home; be safe alright?

Xander: you got it, uncle

The two hugged.

Becky: I'm gonna miss you baby brother

Xander: me too, sis

Alex: thanks for saving me from Corbin

Xander: no problem, man

Josh: good luck, mate

Seth: we had one hell of a match last year

Randy: from a legend to a legend, it was honor fighting by your side

Chase: it was an honor to fight by your side

Travis: we'll never forget you, brother

Lexi: we'll always remember you, Xander

Peyton: say hi to your parents for us!

Billie: send us pictures of France

Charlotte: and also say hi to your baby sister for us too

Bayley: I'll take care of old man Finn for you

Xander: oh he'll definitely enjoy that

Finn: what was that?

Xander: nothing, uncle

Bayley: yeah, nothing!

Sasha looked at the ring Xander gave her and proceeded to take it out, but Xander stopped her.

Xander: keep it, so you won't forget me

Sasha: I'll never forget you, Xander

The two exchanged a passionate kiss.

Xander: well guys, this is goodbye

The Kingdom shared a group hug. Then Xander walked into the terminal and disappeared among the crowd of passengers.

The girls hugged Sasha as she cried. Then the Kingdom left the airport and went to their hotel.
