Wednesday night has come around and with it came a new episode of AEW Dynamite which promised to be packed with lots of action. Existing rivalries would continue while new ones would be established along the way. For Y/N for example, his rivalry with Jack Evans and Angelico was bound to continue, especially because they posted a short video, detailing everything that happened the week before.

Jack:" Ladies and Gentlemen. We are not taking this for long! If anyone thinks they can waltz in here and just be a hazard to our health, they're wrong!"

Angelico:" Y/N, you've been a prime player in this company already. I can respect that, but what you did to Jack is unacceptable! You stood on his neck, threatening to break it and put him out of action permanently."

To emphasize that point, Jack showed that he wore a neck brace due to the damage he took. Now, this was all part of the angle between the three.

Angelico:" I can't let this stand! So tonight, we're coming for you! I will face you in the ring and Jack will ensure you're not up to any funny business. And don't ya forget that we are the last of the true Hybrids!"

Well, the challenge was out and Y/N accepted it quite quickly. He didn't step back from any fight and if the two wanted one, they would get it that night as creative put the match down as the fourth one on the card.
---------------------------------------------------------

It was now time for the action to kick up again as Jack and Angelico made their way towards the ring. Eventhough Jack was hurt, he did some impressive flips. This had been brewing for the entire week and fans knew it would boil over sooner or later. When the video message was posted the morning before the episode, it attracted lots of attention. Once the two finally reached the ring, Jack stayed outside and took Angelico's jacket while Y/N made his entrance.

If you were looking for ruthless aggression, you were welcome to stay because Y/N looked ready to tear the house down. He stared at Angelico and Jack before smiling and walking towards the ring with big, determined steps. Instead of immediatly entering, Y/N went to where Jack was and hit him with a Big Boot to take him out for the length of the match.

Y/N:" You thought I would just ignore your little buddy, huh? C'mon, he got a price on his head. It's all business."

Angelico:" You sick bastard!"

Tensions flared up big time as Y/N's smile turned into a wicked grin with him sliding into the ring and the match officially starting. Angelico didn't waste any time going after the taller man as he faked a Leg Sweep, only to kick him in the head.

There was nothing tame about this match whatsoever, considering the atmosphere and the things that just transpired. Angelico wanted revenge and he was hellbent on getting it as soon as he could. There was a notable difference between him and Y/N, both in fighting style and attitude though, but that didn't matter too much right now as both men faced off again. Angelico himself took to Y/N with stiff shots to the head and quite a quick Neckbreaker before hitting a Double Foot Stomp.

He didn't go for the pin yet, because he knew how tough it could be to keep Y/N down. They were like a tank vs a sports car already as Y/N pushed Angelico of and got to one knee. The taller man was very close to get up, but he had to focus on blocking an incoming kick before that. The crowd watched closely as they battled it out in the center of the ring, trying to have the upper hand. However, Y/N was now able to turn things around by virtue of a Pumphandle Neckbreaker.

Like Y/N said at the start of the match, it was all business in this case and with Jack and Angelico as his current targets, he was set on fulfilling the task. Nobody had a clue who sent him after them, how high their bounty was or anything else, but they could see that Y/N was as dangerous as they come. Angelico was about to roll out of the ring, but Y/N got him at the last second to keep up the attack, this time with a Spinning Back Fist.

Y/N:" Even angels fall, son. And you're one of 'em!"

Y/N always found a moment to talk trash to his opponent. He took matches seriously, but also had to give the fans something to feed off of. Was he stealing the spotlight? Not exactly, he was more of an entertainer in that sense as he took a look around the arena, taking in the boos of the fans. Being a heel fit the young man so well and it just felt right for him to live like that whenever he was at a show or some kind of event like a signing. What he didn't see coming though was a kick in the back and a Lariat right after. Apparently Angelico made it back in and immediatly beat Y/N down again, this time actually keeping him on the canvas. Using that opportunity, Angelico climbed to the top rope and hit a 450 Splash.

Kickout!

Eventhough the splash did a good bit of damage, it wasn't enough to put Y/N down for good. Angelico got frustrated and argued with the referee while Y/N rolled to the ropes and slowly, but surely got back to his feet. He had more to deliver than that and Angelico would get to feel that very soon, thanks to a Gory Bomb after a blocked punch.

Y/N knew Dark Order were watching backstage, considering Adam wanting to see what he was capable of and if he might fit into the group. They all talked about the match before the show and Stu helped Y/N prepare, so this hopefully would end on a positive note for him. For right now though, he had to keep Jack, who somehow got back up and entered the ring, in check as he hit the smaller man with a kick to the chest.

Playtime was over, Y/N had enough of fooling around as he grit his teeth. He pushed Jack out again, just in time to avoid a Corner Splash by Angelico and hit the Clothesline From Hell.

Now everyone was on their feet as Y/N threw his head back and ran a hand through his hair. He felt the rush he needed to put this match to rest and the crowd knew exactly what to expect. Y/N paced from side to side as Angelico heaved himself to a half standing position, which was the perfect set up for the finish. Y/N got leverage from the ropes and quickly after, he hit the 21-Plex.

And the match was over. Y/N successfully pinned Angelico in the middle of the ring to secure the victory. After releasing the cover, he pulled Jack back in, put him across Angelico and put a foot on his back as to say that he conquered them. Sure, that was a bit cocky for his standard, but it served its purpose before he left the ring and went backstage.
---------------------------------------------------------

Not long after getting backstage, Y/N headed to the Dark Order lair, but what he saw there was not near anything he imagined.

Y/N:" Should I even ask what's happening here?"

John:" Y/N! You're already here! Oh gosh..."

Alex:" That's embarrassing for you, huh John?"

John:" S-Shut up, Alex!"

Y/N:" Where's Hangman?"

The Team split right down the middle to reveal Hangman sitting at a table with several drinks. And by the looks of things, he didn't want to share.

Y/N just shook his head and sat across from him, a serious expression on his face and hands folded together. That once again was the business side of him, but it had to cut through one way or another.

Y/N:" I know what you're thinking, but no. There's no issue between any of us."

Adam:" I didn't think there was anyways."

Y/N:" Good to hear. What I would like to hear...is your opinion of what I just did out there. In fact, let's take all of you into account, how does that sound?"

Stu:" I mean you're my friend, so you deserve to know."

Alex:" I think so too. You gave a lot out there."

John:" Well, you scare me in and out of the ring, so I'm going to agree."

Adam:" Uno, what do you think?"

Uno:" We're all in this together. So it's one for all and all for one."

Anna:" I guess I have a few words to spare, so...let's do it."

Y/N chuckled and finally relaxed, leaning back in his seat as everyone got their own seat. Truth be told, it looked more like they were up to any sketchy business right now than anything else. The first to speak this time was Colt who kept quiet until now as he looked at Y/N.

Colt:" Let me start by saying that I wasn't expecting a match like that. I thought we would see more of a beatdown, but I respect that you kept it the way you did. There was some surprising stuff in there. Overall, I think you're great."

Y/N:" Thank you, Colt. Alan?"

Alan:" Well, I'm not much of a powerhouse, but from what I've seen your moves hurt, no matter the size of the opponent. You're a tank like 10, but still different in a good way."

Y/N:" Thank you as well. Alex?"

Alex:" I gotta hand it to you. You know what you're doing. And you're aware of your surroundings. I like your fighting style."

Y/N:" Also very nice of you. Tay, would you please?"

Tay:" Of course. Like Alan said, you're built like a tank, so taking you down is difficult. I would like to see some submissions next time, but overall not bad."

Y/N:" I respect that. Thank you. Stu, your turn."

Stu:" Without being biased, I have to say that it was a nice showing out there. You didn't show off too much or fooled around, you kept it as a straight fight. I know you don't take any bullshit. You did great."

Y/N:" Great to hear, brother. 10!"

Pres10:" Right here and let me tell you that we would run through the Tag Team division without big trouble. Look at us, we're both jacked, talented, good looking. If we team up, the Tag Team championship will be ours!"

Y/N:" Oooh big words, man. I might take you up on that. Johnny! It's your turn. What do you have to tell me?"

The more serious note in Y/N's voice was easy to notice there as John took a step forward, avoiding eye contact for the time being.

John:" I-I think you did good..."

Y/N:" Care to elaborate?"

John:" I like your signature and finishing move...And that you took out Jack in advance."

Y/N:" THAT...means a lot to me, John. Thank you very much for your honest opinion. Miss Jay, would you be so kind to tell us your opinion?"

Anna:" Gladly. You're a solid wrestler on your own. Smart, tactical, fast. Angelico didn't have it easy against you. However, I would like to see how you behave in a Tag Team context, if that isn't too much to ask. Other than that, you're good."

Adam:" Thank you for bringing up the Tag Team thing, Anna. I agree on that. You impress as a singles competitor. But I would like to see some teamwork. I already talked with creative about this, so you and Colt will face 2.0 on Rampage."

Colt:" And why exactly me?"

Adam:" You're the least suspicious out of us. The fans don't know about our plan to get Y/N into Dark Order."

Y/N:" Good point. In that case, I'll be looking forward to teaming with you, Colt."

Colt:" I guess it's going to be fun then. Let's do this, Y/N."

Y/N and Colt shook hands and everyone was about to get a drink for themselves until the door opened and in walked Brodie Lee Jr.

Brodie Jr:" Umm...what's going on?"

Uno:" Ahh, Mr Brodie Jr. You got here at the right time. Apologies for not bringing it up earlier, but we have someone to introduce."

Brodie looked at Uno and the rest of Dark Order before laying eyes on Y/N for the first time.

Brodie Jr:" I assume he's the guy?"

Y/N:" That's me, young man. Y/N L/N."

Brodie Jr:" You look really cool honestly! Can I please hear more about you?"

And there was the childlike wonder in Brodie's eyes as he took a seat next to Y/N while some people left. It was them, along with Adam and Anna, so this was making for a really interesting conversation.
