CHAPTER 1: Return of the Prince
JUNE 23, 2003 at O'Brien Manor A.K.A Hardy Manor at Austin, Texas
It was night time Collin 'Gabriel' O'Brien/Hardy was watching Raw, He watched everything after his Temporary Retirement due to his ailments, He watched his Dear Friend Kane fight, he was a Close Friend to Kane than the others since the Day they First met in Raw when the guy was on his third week on the job, The Guy helped him a lot and it broke his heart to see what was becoming to his Friend he watched How Kane formed a tag team with Rob Van Dam, with the duo eventually winning the World Tag Team Championship. After they lost their World Tag Team Championship to La Résistance at Bad Blood, Triple H offered Kane a spot in his stable Evolution. Raw co-general manager Stone Cold Steve Austin offered Kane the opportunity to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship if he rejected Triple H's offer; however, co-general manager Eric Bischoff insisted that Kane unmask because he lost the match. Kane accepted Austin's offer and went to challenge Triple H the following week in Madison Square Garden. Triple H won the match following interference from his stable mates, and on this night June 23, 2003 episode of Raw, Kane removed his mask. He then chokes lamed Rob Van Dam and went on to defeat him at SummerSlam. He turned off his Flat Screened TV and took a deep sigh.
"Kane…What's happening to you." He murmured.
Kane wasn't really a violent person by nature unless provoked and what he had saw just now was totally wrong, He had to go Back in the Ring and see to it that everything was alright, he knew he had to go back, so he took out his phone and dialed some numbers, putting the phone on his ear and began talking to his Private Jet Pilot that prepare his Jet because he's leaving to where the next Match that RAW will be held, but first he had to visit the one Vince Mcmahon. Standing from his seat he headed to his wardrobe and took out some of his wrestling gears and some casual and common clothing. As he pack up his things and took a shower he recalled everything what he saw.
"Unforgivable." He growled he will make them all pay to what they have done to Kane and talk to the Deadman to ask where he was when Kane needs him the most. He already know the explanation of the ordeal, but giving Kane no choice Eric 'Fucking' Bischoff and the Evolution or so whatever group it was they will beware the Bringer of Doom The Prince of the Underworld is Coming for almost 5 long years unable to wrestle now he's coming back with a heated vengeance. And he'll try to talk sense to his emotional unstable friend.
Stepping out of the Bathroom, Collin prepared all his things and for his departure to WWE HQ. but first he had to make a call for his Friend (Brother) Matt Hardy.
He waited until on the third ring of the Phone, he thought it was Matt who had picked up, but.
'Hello, this is Jeff Hardy Speaking, Who's this?' Jeff answered on the other line.
Collin grinned, of course Jeff…his oblivious friend (brother) Jeff had no idea who was calling since the younger had a habit of not watching who was calling either him or Matt.
"Hello, Jeff." He grinned almost evilly and only widened when he heard Jeff scream.
JEFF HARDY'S POV
Matt had forgotten his phone again, he was out with the deadman…can you believe it? Matt and the feared Undertaker were going out for god knows when…I nearly jumped out of my skin when the Deadman appeared at the door and asked where Matt was, I was confused why was he looking for my brother, did the idiot do something bad around the Deadman? Sure enough Matt came and told me that he and Undertaker were dating for a while, I felt my jaw hit the floor when Matt said that bluntly in my face. So yeah here I am room alone as the odd lovebirds are having fun out there…to tell you the truth I'm jealous of them, Matt was with the Feared Deadman…well nearly most of the Rosters have their partners. The Rock was hooked up with Chris Jericho The Mock Pair, man I wish Jericho won't speak as a third person anytime soon, Rey Mysterio was with Eddie, My good whoever the nuts out there paired up the two jumping beans is good They're the Jumping Bean Pair, The Viper Randy was actually locked in the broom closet with John Cena for past 4 hours and came out holding hands the Punk Pair, Sheamus was with CM Punk don't ask me how because I don't know how, I don't know what is their pair name, I think Champion Pair?…Triple H was Hooked with Shawn by his own WIFE! Oh Hell I can't believe this Name their Pair to your likings, RVD end up with Tajiri I saw the two sparring and I think that's how the two of them end up they are the Martial arts pair?. Benoit and Chris Masters end up with each other hell that I don't know, I don't even know how to name their pair, Heidenreich ended with Snitsky the odd pair?, R Truth was with Kofi HAH! Nigga's came together, Nigga Pair!, then there's Great Khali and Hurricane the David and Goliath Pair, And believe me Big Show ended up with Mark Henry the Fatso Pair and the Last one I saw was Edge…Well he's going out with Booker T, this is the Oreo Pair in my list.
Oh Well all of them are paired, all except me. I had no one to be with and it's kinda lonely, I continued jotting down my notes on the pairs that I had saw earlier, when Matt's Phone Rang since Matt wasn't here I had the responsibilities to answer it. I looked at the number, it has no name so I had to know who was calling, and I put the phone on my ears and said.
"Hello, this is Jeff Hardy Speaking, Who's this?" I asked curiously.
"Hello, Jeff." The voice answered, My spine tingled recognizing the voice.
The owner of the voice was none other than our friend…Collin…A.K.A Doom Bringer, A.K.A Prince of the Underworld and A.K.A May Demon. I screamed when I heard our terrifying friend's voice, it was smooth and low.
'Jeff…Where's Matt?' Collin's voice asked.
"H-He's not here, right now." I answered shakily.
'Where is he then?' Collin demanded.
"He's out and won't be back anytime soon." I answered though I'm still a bit shaky.
'Why do you have his phone?' Collin asked rather curiously.
"He forgot it, Wh-why did you call Linsy?" I asked.
'I won't be long, I called to tell Matt something.' Collin answered.
"You can tell me." I Answered.
'Very Well, Tell Matt that I'm Coming back to WWE.' Collin stated as a matter of a fact.
"A-ah, Yes I'll tell him when he got back." I answered back.
'And Jeff.' Collin called out again.
"Y-yes?" I answered, damn I'm shaking again.
'No sweets before bed time or in the morning before meals, got it?' Collin warned.
"Y-Yeah." I answered, god he's good knowing that I'm eating sweets right now.
'Good…I'm off then, My Plane is waiting.' Collin bid and hung up.
I put the phone down and head for the door, just I opened the door Matt stood there and I screamed, he screamed and the two of us screamed, were in screaming contest.
END OF JEFF'S POV
MATT'S POV
Man, I felt great who would've thought My charms would attract the Feared Undertaker, yeah I got surprised look whenever I tell anyone who was I going out with. Taker and I just returned from our Date a while ago and Damn why do I have to forget my phone! So just as I was about to open the door, Jeff opened it before me and then he screamed at the sight of me, I screamed in surprise and now the two of us were in a screaming contest, but Jeff's was the loudest.
"JEFF! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?" I demanded.
Then the last thing I know Jeff…My Brother was shaking me like a mad man.
"He's coming, My God he's coming!" Jeff screeched as he shook me like a bottle of champagne only forward and backward.
I stopped Jeff from shaking me and looked at him in anxiety.
"Who's coming?" I asked.
"We are Doomed, Matt, Collin is Back!" Jeff cried in distress.
I was sure as hell that Jeff had just mentioned our frightening friend's name and that he was coming back.
"Are you sure?" I asked to be sure.
"YES! He had just called on your phone a while ago and I am scared!" Jeff whimpered.
"Aw Hell!" I groaned… "We're doomed."
We're doomed alright, Collin our dear best friend Collin is Coming back for god knows what reason, he discipline us with a vicious Cross leg Ankle Lock and Cross Leg Back Bender, whenever we defy him or did something totally wrong, He'll I don't want to taste that disciplining anytime soon.
END of POV
While Collin was on his way to where the next arena would be, Kane was wreaking havoc…it took a lot of Work from the Undertaker to keep his little brother at bay, he heard from Matt that Collin 'Gabriel' O'Brien the Prince of the Underworld and the Doom Bringer is coming back, Jeff had quite a nightmare during his nap time about Collin doing his Cross Leg Ankle Lock on him, the poor guy he was limping even though it only happened on his dream. Those who don't know Collin O'Brien would have their chance when the guy arrives back in WWE.
UNDERTAKER'S POV
Kane was at it again, Man…His wreaking havoc is keeping me on my toes, I was tasked to keep him at bay, and it wasn't that surprising at all. But what had surprised me is that I saw Matt he was a bit pale so I had to talk to him, to my shock he told me that.
"The Prince of the Underworld is coming back and Me and Jeff are doomed." He said in despair.
I was shock that Collin was coming back, the bastard SOB is alive and still kicking some asses, for almost 5 years without a single letter, call or text from the guy, I thought he was dead. But here he was, he's coming back…wait…as I can remember I found him collapsed on his locker room and according to the Doctor's result he can never wrestle anymore…was it a bluff that Collin was not going to wrestle anymore? What the hell is going on?
END of POV
At the Airport Collin's Private jet landed and took out his Black Car out of the Jet and drove away, he was a bit tired but he could manage, on his arrival at WWE HQ he headed to where Vince was, he ignored the looks he gets, yeah he was on his wrestling gear, he was wearing Over a Black, Gold lined shirt is a high collared, Black sleeveless overcoat with pointed shoulder pad. A pair of loose black gothic pants ends just below his ankles. On his arms is a pair of black and yellow fingerless gloves that come up above his elbows. A pair of Gothic Boots with Bones Design, when he reached a certain door he did not forget his manners and knocked twice loudly and wait for the invitation to come in.
"Come in." A familiar voice of Vince McMahon called out from the inside.
With the invitation to go inside Collin pushed the door open and went inside, as he entered it wasn't that surprising to hear the man gasped in surprise.
"Hello Vince, do you remember me?" Collin asked.
Vince McMahon stood up from his chair and walked up to the wrestler he hadn't seen for almost 5 years.
"Collin my man, how are you? Come have a seat!" He invited.
Collin took a seat and had a little chat with his old friend.
"So how can I help you, my friend?" Mr. McMahon asked.
"I'd be blunt to you Vince, I'm here to make my come back as a wrestler." Collin answered.
The old man was quite surprised.
"Are you sure about your idea, what about your heart?" Vince asked.
"Vince I won't be here if I ain't fully healed." Collin chuckled as he saw his friend's eyes widened.
"Since when?" The Chairman asked.
"Last May 19 2003." Collin smirked. "I've been waiting for almost every day to return on my job."
"When do you want to appear?" Vince McMahon asked.
"Tonight if Possible..." Collin answered.
They continued to chat until it's time to go…
"So I'll see you then, Vince." Collin stated as he head for the door.
Before he could even reach the door, Vince called out.
"Collin…wait."
The said man looked back as if answering the call.
"Yes, Vince?"
"When are you going to tell them that you are not really Collin 'O'Brien but Collin 'Gabriel' Hardy the oldest brother of the Hardy Boys?" The said man asked.
Pain and longing can be seen at the Younger one's eyes at the Mention of the Older Brother of the Hardy Boys, He can't tell the younger ones just yet, the Hardy Family is not out of Dangers yet their parents died after the First War of the Angels and the Fallen, Vince McMahon knew everything about the War but not their Family, because he's the one who told the guy, He erased the memories of those children who survived the First War, the only older ones among the High ranked Angels he could count was Undertaker and Kane , most of the rosters were Humans. He locked every memory of the children, he even locked the memories of the Undertaker and Kane on what they are so to not endanger them. When the Day he descended from the World he came along with Taker and Kane and the younglings he scattered them all and erased their memories being an angel and shrouded their Wings so the Fallen Ones won't find them.
"When the Time is Right..." Collin answered and left.
"And by the way, Matt is in Relationship with the Undertaker." Vince added.
"Thanks for the info." Collin said back.
Reaching the parking lot, he looked at the night sky and murmured.
"One Day, they will discover what they are when the seal is finally broken." He murmured and drove towards to the Next Raw Arena.
So During Monday Night Raw Kane was at it again, this time there are unfortunate ones faced the unstable wrestle…RVD was at the receiving end of Kane's wrath…Edge was already out cold and Kofi Kingston was in no shape to fight anymore.
Jerry Lawler: Somebody had to put a stop on Kane!
Jim Ross: Who ever had the power to do so, please anyone, someone step inside the ring and Save RVD!
Jerry Lawler: Three Wrestlers Already Suffered Kane's Wrath!
When all of a sudden the Gigantic Screen played the Arrival of the Absent Wrestler…
Jerry Lawler: What's this? What's going on? Josh?
Jim Ross: What is going on there in the parking lot?
At the Parking lot Josh Matthews and a Cameraman stopped by the entrance as the Black Car passed by, Josh and the Cameraman followed the expensive black car.
Josh Matthews: I received a call from the Chairman and chief executive of WWE, Vince McMahon that an old friend of the Chairman is making its come back after in a very long rest of almost 5 years!
Then behind Josh came a tall figure of Collin O'Brien/Hardy. The crowds who knew the guy cheered for his return.
Collin: Josh, I'm 37, I'm no old man, and I am not even married yet.
Josh looked at the tall man and start questioning.
Josh Matthews: Mr. O'Brien, after almost 5 years of recuperating and away from the ring, many heard that you are no longer able to wrestle, so why coming back now?
Collin: Well Josh, I've been watching the show after my first awakening from comatose after the operation, it took me a while to heal, well the Doctor did said I am no longer able to wrestle that is when I'm still on my way to recovery, I told the Doctor not to tell everyone that when I recover and able to wrestle again, he did what I ask and it is also to see everyone act around Kane when I'm not around and you know the result?
Josh Matthews: *Shakes his Head* No.
Collin: Well Josh, I'm Disappointed.
Back inside Kane walks out of the Arena Leaving RVD unscathed this time.
Jerry Lawler: Kane's leaving the Ring! Where's he going?
Jim Ross: RVD was saved by the Return of the Doom Bringer!
Jerry Lawler: Listen to the interview…
Back at the Parking Lot Josh was still questioning the Return of Collin, he was no longer intimidated by the tall man's presence since the guy wasn't hurting him unlike the others he had interviewed in fact the man was harmless unless he is Aggravated greatly.
Josh Matthews: Wh-Why are you disappointed?
Collin: You see this past In October 2002, Two and a Half years after my Operation I was a bit surprised that my old friend Kane began feuding with Triple H, leading to a match at No Mercy on October 20 in which both Kane's Intercontinental Championship and Triple H's World Heavyweight Championship were at stake. In the weeks preceding the match, Triple H claimed that, several years earlier, Kane had an unrequited relationship with a woman named Katie Vick. He went on to claim that, after Vick was killed in a car crash, Kane's (driver) had sex with her. I was greatly annoyed at that when Triple H later threatened to show video footage of Kane committing the act in question; however, the footage that finally aired showed Triple H (dressed as Kane) simulating mock sex with a mannequin in a casket;[38] Kane's tag team partner The Hurricane responded the following week by showing a video of Triple H (rather, someone wearing a Triple H series of masks) getting an enema. The angle was very unpopular with fans, and was de-emphasized before the title match. Triple H went on to defeat Kane at No Mercy, unifying the two titles.
Collin took a few minutes of breath before moving on.
Collin: I watched How Kane formed a tag team with Rob Van Dam, with the duo eventually winning the World Tag Team Championship. After they lost their World Tag Team Championship to La Résistance at Bad Blood, Triple H offered Kane a spot in his stable Evolution. Raw co-general manager Stone Cold Steve Austin offered Kane the opportunity to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship if he rejected Triple H's offer; however, co-general manager Eric Bischoff insisted that Kane unmask because he lost the match. Kane accepted Austin's offer and went to challenge Triple H the following week in Madison Square Garden. Triple H won the match following interference from his stable mates, and on this night June 23, 2003 episode of Raw, Kane removed his mask. He then chokes lamed Rob Van Dam and went on to defeat him at SummerSlam. I was Greatly Disappointed on how this people treat my friend so that's the reason why I came back here and few Hours ago I have a talk with Vince that it's Okay for me to continue on my Job and I got the rights by Vince's permission to keep the General Manager of WWE RAW Eric Bischoff from abusing his power as the GM and see to it that no one will no longer bother my friend and keep Kane from killing or maiming other wrestlers…so Josh, are you content on my answer?
Josh Matthews: *Nods* anything you want to give your message to the others?
Collin: *Chuckles darkly* Yeah, I got a message alright, *Facing the Camera* Listen up you Bastards Son of a Bitch, Doom Bringer is Back with a Vengeance! So Hide as fast as you can and don't you dare try to run because I'll hunt you Maggots Down.
With that he left Josh and the Cameraman and went inside. Back at the ring side.
Jerry Lawler: He's back alright…
Jim Ross: No doubt about it, there's a hell lot of disciplining to do, the guy might be young but he had a hell of an attitude there.
Jerry Lawler: I wouldn't dream being locked in a Cross Leg Ankle Lock, it will give me nightmares. See what happened to Jeff Hardy after he disciplined the poor boy with a Cross Leg Ankle Lock?
Jim Ross: Not only that even Chris Jericho fell on that vicious lock, Even Shawn Michaels admitted that he got nightmares after Doom Bringer Used the Cross Leg Ankle Lock on him on their match, not even Big Show is safe the poor Big Guy was limping.
Jerry Lawler: Young as he may be, but his temper is not to be trifled and to be taken lightly with folks, this young man has a hell of a lock that will give every wrestler some Nightmares.
At the Backstage younger super stars were confused to why the older wrestlers are so tense aside from the Undertaker and Kane who was currently on the hunt for the Doom Bringer, Cena who was very curious to what was going on, the guys from Smackdown were on a visit on their friends in RAW (A/N: Let's assume that John was already signed as a Wrestler Okay?). Matt had enlightened the Spunky Wrestler that the Doom Bringer is back.
"So…Where's the big guy?" Cena asked.
Matt looked at the other like he had grown a second head and giving the guy an 'Are you serious.' Look.
"You're a one odd guy John." Jeff said as he pop up behind Matt, bear hugging the latter.
"Naw! I was just curious to why the big guys at the back were so tense." John answered and snorted when the Big Show stumbled across the garbage can in a hurry not to face the wrath of the already irate Nightmare, to his hurry he kicked the trash can.
Matt and Jeff laughed their asses when the trash can landed square Mark Henry's Head and the Big Guy bumped on the walls like the way Pin Balls would bounce and went rolling on the floor after a huge fall on the floor, Shawn Michaels made a leap Frog when Mark Henry sat down and Managed to pull of the trash can from his head only to be shoved back when Shawn Michaels Leap frogged on him. Matt and Jeff and Cena were rolling on the floor laughing. However on the other side Rey Mysterio nearly jumped out of his skin when Chris Jericho screamed and bolt away like his pants is on fire, he found odd when edge dived for the boxes and made a sign at him 'that Edge is not here', Rey Mysterio continued his odd venture to the locker when RVD, Christian, Kofi, Barrett, Swagger, Otunga, CM Punk and Sheamus forming a stampede on the hallway for an unknown reason why, earlier that night when the Doom Bringer entered the Arena in a Hunting mood the guys were in a bit of a tension and twitchy, when they had encountered the Feared Disciplinarian on the Hallway coming towards them singing a song.
"One…Two…Doom Bringer is coming for you, Three…Four…Lock Your Door, Five…Six grab your crucifix. Seven…eight, don't run to the Gate. Nine…ten, don't be naughty again!"
RVD, Christian, Kofi, Barrett, Swagger, Otunga, CM Punk and Sheamus stood there ready to run the guy is giving too much air of intimidation, when someone whoever he or she is shouted 'RUN!' They don't need to be told twice and they did run. The Rock was too busy listening on his iPod and didn't notice Collin passed by.
"IF YOU SMEEEELLL! WHAT THE ROCK. IS .COOKING!" he was about to shout some more so as he had opened his mouth a paper cup found its way to The Rock's mouth.
"Don't shout on the Hallways, if you want to sing do it in your locker or better yet outside!" Collin's stern voice rang out.
Collin was on his Hunting Spree, he found Edge squatting at the crates praying that he won't be found, but too bad luck wasn't on his side. So Collin crept behind his first prey. Edge stuck his head at the corner of the crates to take a peek, no one's around only Rey Mysterio who was looking behind him with round gray eyes, the midget froze on his spot as if spotting something from behind. When Edge looked back only to have an eye to eye with 'You Know Who'.
"So…Blonds is first on my Hunting list huh?" Collin's husky voice murmured.
Soon Edge found himself on the receiving end of Cross Leg Ankle Lock…Rey Mysterio already Bolt for his life…Every RAW Roster and Some visiting Smackdown Rosters jumped a good three feet in the air when Edge's Scream echoed everywhere. There was a crackle of the Radio, then a voice.
"All Blondies are FIRST! Brownies SECOND! And Blackies I'll Save You for DESSERT!" Collin's threatening voice rang out. "You Maggots shouldn't have done naughty things while I'm away."
In a matter of Ten Minutes Chris Jericho screamed like a girl when he received the agonizing Cross Leg Ankle Lock…at the span of 5 minutes another scream rang out, whoever that poor bastard was everyone felt sorry.
At the ring side, Jerry and Jim Ross listening to all those who were screaming every 5 to 10 minutes whoever get caught by the Hunting Doom Bringer…then the sighs of relief to the Bald ones…Thank God they don't have hair! 10 minutes had passed…
"RUN JEFF RUN!" Matt Hardy called out as they Hardy Boys ran past the Cameraman with the Doom Bringer is hot on their heels…
"I'm running! I'm running!" Jeff cried out as he ran after Matt.
"You better watch out, You Better not Hide because I'm telling you why, Doom Bringer is coming for you." Collin chimed out.
Jim Ross: God Almighty!
Jerry Lawler: We have Kane earlier this evening, Now Doom Bringer is on the Hunt to punish.
Soon Enough Jeff's scream echoed and Matt soon followed, one by one all suffered the fate to have their first and second taste of the notorious Cross Leg Ankle Lock…2 Hours later Jeff and Matt was standing at the middle of the unused Locker room of Doom Bringer, Jeff had his head down like a guilty boy, while Matt was fidgeting nervously and their friend walks around the two like an angry mom.
"I didn't do it, Matt did it!" Jeff accused.
"It wasn't me!" Matt protested.
"I didn't say whose fault is it…" Collin said.
Matt and Jeff lowered their heads. They tried to look as innocent as they were, it will fool anybody…all except Collin that is, the guy is acting like their older brother, but none of the two Hardy Boys knew that he is their long lost older brother. Collin paused at Jeff's side and spotted the Skittles on the baggy pockets.
"Jeff…What did I told you about eating sweets before dinner?" He demanded like a mom.
Jeff squeaked at the stern look that was aimed at him.
"That I don't eat sweets unless I finished dinner?" He answered he felt himself becoming smaller when their old friend staring down at both him and Matt.
"And?"
"Don't eat sweets before meals."
"And?"
"Brush your teeth after eating sweets."
"…And?"
"Don't eat sweets before bed time."
"…And?"
"Don't eat sweets in the morning and during breakfast?" Jeff shrunk when Collin picked the two bags of Skittles from his pocket and dumped it on his bag. "In the corner, Jeff and think about what you said, now…"
Jeff sulked at the corner of the room and Matt nearly jumped out of skin tight shirt when Collin's gaze shot to him.
"What is this rumors I heard that you are having a relationship with the Deadman or to be specific to the Undertaker?" Collin demanded.
Matt couldn't answer he's lost for words! How did Collin found out?
"Answer...and you better not lie to me or else you know what will happen." The said man demanded.
"I am." Matt answered.
"You are what?" Collin hissed.
"I'm in relationship with the undertaker…wh-what's wrong with that?" Matt said nervously.
"Nothing is wrong with it Matt, but what I worry is that if you had chosen the right person time? I don't want to repeat on what happened to you and that bitch Lita…I can't stand see either you or Jeff broken…I don't want you two to be hurt, as your older friend it hurts me as well…" Collin rebuked.
"Linsy, Mark is not that type of a guy." Matt pleaded, he somehow felt that he could accept Collin as a Big Brother (Although Collin is indeed their Big Brother.).
"I hope you're right…Go fetch the Deadman so we could talk about this." Collin sighed as he saw Jeff Sleeping while standing.
While Matt is out to get The Undertaker, Collin carried Jeff on the sofa to get the younger comfortable. His Locker is way bigger than the others in favor of Vince McMahon.
"Gods Jeff, You and Matt are too quite handful at any time and it's a bit tiresome you know, but you two were fun to be with." Collin Murmured.
When Matt came back dragging The Deadman with him found Collin in the other corner of the room where a Table and Chairs were and a small kitchen, drinking some herbal tea. Jeff was taking a nap on the sofa.
"Let's talk here since Jeff occupying the Sofa." Collin called out.
Mark and Matt took their seats on the chair across each other.
"Now Mark, as Jeff and Matt's close friend I heard Rumors that seems true to me about you and Matt here are having a relationship." Collin began.
There was silence at first.
"And I'm quite worried, for Matt." Collin added as he drink's his tea.
"Linsy, I already told you that Mark is not that type of a guy." Matt rebuked.
"Yes you did, but I want to know personally if Mark here is true about his feelings to you, I don't want you to end up broken like the last time Lita Dumped you for someone else." Collin said coldly as he could to emphasize his point.
"I love Matt and I'm true to my feelings." Mark butted in.
Collin narrowed his eyes at the Deadman to see if the guy is lying or not, but didn't find any.
"Are you sure about your feelings or you are just saying that to pass my guards because I am guarding the siblings well enough to be counted as the older sibling of their family?" He questioned.
"I am sure and no, I am not trying to pass your guards, I Loved Matthew here for the Last 5 years and looking out for them while you're away and I'm willing to hurt anybody or myself to protect Matthew Here as well as Jeffrey." Mark answered firmly not willing to back down.
"Can I count on you to that? Because if you don't I'll take everything in my own hands and I will take drastic measures to do so." Collin said.
"You can count on that." Mark added.
"Good, because if you hurt either Matt or Jeff or the both of them…they have to go…" Collin stated.
Knowing what it means, Matt's eyes widened.
"You're not serious are you?" He asked desperately.
"Do I look like not serious, Matt? Since yours and Jeff's Parents died they asked me to keep an eye and protect you two from harm and support you two if needed. I know your parents very well and they are a good folks, Matt. and I am willing to go at any extremities just to fulfill my Vows and Duties for the two of you." Collin answered. "Am I clear?"
"Crystal." Mark said.
"Yes." Matt answered.
Jeff yawned and sat up from the Sofa.
"Is there any snacks in here, I'm Hungry." He said and rubbing his eyes like a kid that had just woken up.
"At the fridge..." Collin answered.
There was a knock on the door and Mark answered it, it was none other than few curious Superstars, Cena, Rey, Kofi, Randy, Sheamus and R-Truth.
"Let me guess, you guys are curious to the one who owned this Locker?" Mark asked pointing at the name attached on the Door 'Doom Bringer'.
The Guys nodded. Mark stood aside to introduce them to the so called Doom Bringer. Once inside they saw Jeff and Matt Munching at the Tuna sandwich.
"Hey guys!" Jeff called out as his mouth full of Tuna Sandwich.
From the Kitchenette…
"Jeff, Swallow first before you shout!" Collin's voice called out as the guy makes some Tuna Omelets.
"Sorry!" Jeff called out. "You got some curious visitors."
Collin came out from the Kitchenette wearing a Blue Apron with a banner 'I –Heart- Cooking.' And holding some spatula, the guy looked so ordinary on his outfit and not a frightening wrestler that will give others nightmares.
"Oh, hello care to join us in dinner since it's going to be night time soon." Collin called out like an innocent (Not likely) Person and not a wrestler.
The scent of the Tuna Omelet invaded the room and few stomachs growled and Randy and Cena's was the loudest, John raised his hand up.
"I'll join." He said sheepishly.
"Me too." Randy added.
The others just nodded, Collin and Mark Chuckled.
"Have a seat then, dinner will be served soon." Collin said as he went back to the Kitchenette.
Mark led the others to the table and had a chat on the youngsters, they had question about Collin and Mark since one of the first ones to meet the guy answered.
"Well, he had tempers to watch out with, Especially if Jeff and Matt are hurt." Mark answered.
"But he's not related to the Hardy Boys, so why?" R Truth asked.
"Well, like he told Matt earlier, Since Matt's and Jeff's Parents died they asked Collin to keep an eye and protect the two from harm and support them if needed. He knows Matt and Jeff's parents very well and they are a good folks. And he's willing to go at any extremities just to fulfill his Vows and Duties for Matt and Jeff." Mark answered.
"He's like a devoted older brother don't you think?" Rey asked.
"Funny, I have the same perspective since the first day he met the Hardy Boys…he's too protective." Mark said.
From the Kitchen door…
"I would be if the situation calls for it and it's going to be bloody." Collin teased as he serves Dinner.
So during the dinner Cena, Rey, Kofi, Randy, Sheamus and R-Truth got to know Collin O'Brien/Hardy and how he got in WWF/E and how he got injured that rendered him unable to wrestle for almost 5 long years and his reason to return in the wrestling world.
"Well, I've been watching the show after my first awakening from comatose after the operation, it took me a while to heal, well the Doctor did said I am no longer able to wrestle that is when I'm still on my way to recovery, I told the Doctor not to tell everyone that when I recover and able to wrestle again, he did what I ask and it is also to see everyone act around Kane when I'm not around and you know the result?" Collin stated.
The guys shook their heads, they were too busy paying attention to the Interviews.
"I was very disappointed, You see this past In October 2002, Two and a Half years after my Operation I was a bit surprised that my old friend Kane began feuding with Triple H, leading to a match at No Mercy on October 20 in which both Kane's Intercontinental Championship and Triple H's World Heavyweight Championship were at stake. In the weeks preceding the match, Triple H claimed that, several years earlier, Kane had an unrequited relationship with a woman named Katie Vick. He went on to claim that, after Vick was killed in a car crash, Kane's (driver) had sex with her. I was greatly annoyed at that when Triple H later threatened to show video footage of Kane committing the act in question; however, the footage that finally aired showed Triple H (dressed as Kane) simulating mock sex with a mannequin in a casket;[38] Kane's tag team partner The Hurricane responded the following week by showing a video of Triple H (rather, someone wearing a Triple H series of masks) getting an enema. The angle was very unpopular with fans, and was de-emphasized before the title match. Triple H went on to defeat Kane at No Mercy, unifying the two titles." Collin said watching the guys took bites on their Dinner.
Mark, Matt and Jeff could feel the other's blood boils in tension when Collin the Doom Bringer explains his reason to return in the WWE Universe, They couldn't help but to be mad too they didn't know how hurt Kane might be right now and they could almost understand Kane's pain now.
"I watched How Kane formed a tag team with Rob Van Dam, with the duo eventually winning the World Tag Team Championship. After they lost their World Tag Team Championship to La Résistance at Bad Blood, Triple H offered Kane a spot in his stable Evolution. Raw co-general manager Stone Cold Steve Austin offered Kane the opportunity to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship if he rejected Triple H's offer; however, co-general manager Eric Bischoff insisted that Kane unmask because he lost the match. Kane accepted Austin's offer and went to challenge Triple H the following week in Madison Square Garden. Triple H won the match following interference from his stable mates, and on this night June 23, 2003 episode of Raw, Kane removed his mask. He then chokes lamed Rob Van Dam and went on to defeat him at SummerSlam. I was Greatly Disappointed on how this people treat my friend so that's the reason why I came back here and few Hours ago I have a talk with Vince that it's Okay for me to continue on my Job and I got the rights by Vince's permission to keep the General Manager of WWE RAW Eric Bischoff from abusing his power as the GM and see to it that no one will no longer bother my friend and keep Kane from killing or maiming other wrestlers…" Collin explained with a pained smile.
Of course Mark and the others knew how Collin was a close friend to Kane, they were almost inseparable they would follow each other around, the last video that Coach had viewed for them how some Dirty Wrestlers in the backstage Brutally injured Collin while the guy defended the injured Big Red Machine, one of those bastards was Triple H, they saw how Calm and Controlled Kane was around the Doom Bringer…Now they understand the reason why Collin had returned.
"We're gonna help you, man!" Cena stated.
"Thank You John, I really appreciated your help." Collin smiled. "How's RVD?"
"The Guy is fine, just a little shaken. He was blaming himself since the day Bischoff told Kane to Unmask." Randy Growled. "I can't believe I allied myself to those low lives."
"Don't blame yourself Randy, you could've known better…You can always Reconcile." Collin said gently.
THE NEXT DAY
Kane was sulking at the Dark Parts of the Arena, he was unable to find the person he was looking for since yesterday, and at the ring side Rey Mysterio was having his match against CM Punk. Mark was back in Smackdown, Collin was in search for his friend when he came across RVD.
"Hey, How're you doing?" Collin greeted.
"I'm fine, do I know you?" RVD asked.
"The name's Collin O'Brien also known as Doom Bringer…Have you seen Kane? I couldn't see him anywhere." He asked.
"Kane might be somewhere in the Boiler room, he often stays there." RVD said.
"Thanks." Collin said as he headed to the boiler room.
At the Commentator's seat…
Jerry Lawler: Doom Bringer is looking for Kane.
Jim Ross: I hope he knows what he's doing the Big Red Machine is not in god mood.
At the Boiler Room, Collin knocked. The crowds in the stadium cheered.
"Kane…are you in there? I want to speak with you…It's me…Collin." He called out.
The door opened and Kane came out nearly towering Collin, the guy didn't say a word.
"Can we talk at my locker?" Collin asked with ease, he knew Kane couldn't lift his hand against the friend who sticks up with him no matter what.
Kane just nodded and followed the other, but on their way to the Doom Bringer's locker Bischoff being an ass he is.
"Kane! Stop right there!" Bischoff called out.
Collin nearly growled, but kept his cool, he signaled Kane to let him handle this, the big man did stepped aside.
"What do you want with Kane?" Collin demanded venomously.
Bischoff stepped back in surprise.
"I just want to talk to him about his match tonight against The Great Khali." He answered rather brashly.
"Well, he's busy right now so back off or I'll kick your ass off." Collin snarled viciously that sent Bischoff running.
Collin then turned to Kane who stood there indifferently.
"Well, come on I know you have something out in there." He said and dragged Kane by the arm fearlessly.
So upon reaching the said locker room, Collin locked the door just in case if someone barge in.
"So Glen…is there anything you want to tell me since I didn't found you yesterday?" He was about to add more but only cut off when the Big Fellow hugged him tight. "Glen…"
He can feel warm tears smearing on his shirt but he let the Big Man let out his pain, the Cameraman was taking every touching moments between the two tall wrestlers.
"It's alright Kane…It's alright…I'm here know…You are no longer alone." Collin Murmured.
Kane began to speak longer words than what he had since the day his mask was taken off…he was too ashamed to what he looks like.
"Kane…You're not ugly…and most of all you are not a monster, all those scars you knew was nothing but a mental scars, Most of the people you encountered knew nothing about you, they might see you as a monster because of your raw power and your height…but for some others who had befriended you and tried to understand you they see you as a friend not a monster, I know…no…we know you are trying your best to ignore the pain and judgment of other people, you have tried to endure all those hateful gaze and insults, I know it hurt you since the day I left and watched me as they brutally injured me and I being sent to the hospital, I've been watching the whole thing while I rest in the hospital bed and it hurts me a lot when I see those people hurt you, it breaks my heart to see you this broken Kane…I hate seeing you all alone…that's why for almost 5 years of waiting I finally recovered…I can finally be able to walk around the hallways and watch you fight at the side of the ring." Collin stated.
"Everybody hates me, so why can't you?" Kane asked.
"Kane…I thought you already knew that, you are my friend How could I hate you? To tell you the truth, You, Jeff and Matt are the reason why I fought for my life during the operation, you three are my reason that I kept on going and the reason why I came back…you are not alone, we are here for you Kane." Collin smiled as he walks towards the door.
"We?" Kane asked.
With a loving smile, Collin opened the door and let the others in, there's John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Kofi, Big Show, Hurricane, RVD, Mark, Matt, Jeff, Randy, Snitsky, Brock Lesnar, Jerich, Edge, Sheamus and R-Truth…Collin sat beside the confused Big Red Machine and put a hand on the big man's shoulder.
"Kane…they are your friend and they are willing to help you and help me as well, see…You are no longer alone." He said with all his gentleness.
Mark stepped up and sat beside his little brother.
"Look Kane, You're my little brother. I should have taken care of you. Should have protected you. Been there for you. And I wasn't. All this fighting is getting us nowhere. I don't want to fight you. You're my flesh and blood. Family. That means something to me. And I hope it does to you too. But I promise you, I'm going to be the brother I should have been then now." He said as he too put a hand on his brother's shoulder.
"We're all here for you, Man. You ain't alone." Cena said as he smiled.
The others agreed to what Cena had just said.
"We all understand now Kane…Thanks to Collin all of us understood your pain." Rey added.
Kane was so speechless…he was happy that Collin came back and he was happy that there are someone here in the RAW Rosters are willing to be friends with him…he was happy that his Brother, Mark is with him…it's all thanks to his longtime friend, all the burdens he carried was lifted away from his shoulder, he felt lighter now. Tears starts to roll down from his eyes as he watched each faces of his friends, all of them are smiling, a true smile that a friend would give.
"Thank You…Everyone." He said as much as he could.
