Dragon's work.
Chapter 1- moments of silence- Kane.
At last stability! You have no idea how long I have wanted something like this! Being a dragon king is more work and a pain in the ass than I thought! But at last, things are relatively normal. Matt Hardy is back to his normal weight class, I can assure you. Big Daddy V and Mark Henry were worried about the competition heating up if we couldn't change Matt back!
Taker is a thirty-year-old man… his kinks have left him, as he seems to be doing better. My sons are still up to no good whatsoever, which as me worried. Anyway, we haven't seen a snout or hoof of those swine men, which is great! But I had a bad feeling about something, it was too quite which normally means something drastic was going to happen, it came in the form of Raiden once again!
I was in another meeting with Vince, all the dragons were here but Jeff… who got his backside in trouble once again! Anyway, we were having a discussion as Raiden just invited himself into the meeting. "Oh God, here we go" I growled lowly. I wasn't in the mood for any of this, we have had months of alone time and now… when Raiden appears it's no good!
"What the hell do you want now? Have you not screwed them over enough?" Vince demanded of the thunder god.
"I think you will like my idea Vince, a great opportunity has arouse for the dragons, for it is only dragons that can do this" Raiden explained.
"Swine demons" growled Matt. "It just has to be it… it's ALWAYS pig demons!"
"It is… but at a great price!" Raiden said with rather an excited tone. "You see, some are getting a little out of hand… and need to be dealt with… just thin out the numbers… But you will be paid!"
"Paid?" Vince's tone instantly changed. "How much are we talking here?"
"Vince, don't fall for it," warned John. "There's always a catch and that means losing one of us for a good few weeks or so… not to mention if we don't have any kinks to be rid of… we will be on the sidelines a lot longer"
Vince mingled with the idea. Triple H rolled his eyes as he tried to bury his head in his arms, "Don't do this… don't do this" Hunter kept muttering.
However the only ones for it were my kids… no surprise. "We'll do it!" announced Creed.
"Oh hell yeah we'll do it!" said Kratos.
"Nice to see enthusiasm boys, but this is a four dragon job," he announced. "Princess Kitana need help, her realm is being overwhelmed by these beasts… and Kane, I think you owe her just a little for her assistance against Quan Chi"
Great, the guilt trip, I had to agree with Raiden, I did owe her. "But, what of the other realms you spoke of, what are they paying?" Vince asked.
"By the pound of course" the thunder god explained. "They weigh the dragons before and after the feast, they will gain their weight in gold! It's how they determine payment, the more they consume, the more gold…"
"You had me a weight in gold" grinned McMahon.
"I ain't going. Matt isn't either" Taker announced. "Mainly Matt ain't going. He's done more than enough when it comes to those beasts!"
"Oh that does remind me…" Raiden went to his side and threw a HUGE bag of gold at Matt! Needless to day, the young Hardy hit the ground hard as that fell into his lap.
When he regained himself he got back up to the table. "What is this for?"
"The swine from last time. The sorcerer that captured you was making a profit off of your 'imprisonment' that's what he earned, since he is gone and you did all the work, it's yours"
Matt opened the bag of the enchanted gold as it changed into US currency; it's weird how it can do that. "Wow… that a lot of money…"
"So, when do we start?" asked Kratos. "I'm rather hungry"
"We talk this over with your mother first!" I told my sons. "I am not jumping into this head first!"
"Well, decide soon. Kitana needs an answer, and I would not keep a young woman like that waiting if I were you Glen" Great, he's on first name bases with me now?
When he left, all eyes turned to Vince. "You would seriously have us go and do this? What the hell are you thinking?" Taker demanded.
"Oh come on, think of all the money you'll be making! And not to mention the good you will be doing for the realm in need…"
"You're in it for the money" Hunter muttered. "Look, I don't think it's a good idea for them to go and do this, Taker has a Wrestlemaina matching coming up. Punk is going to be in one no doubt… John is in the triple threat, Matt's in the money in the bank, Batista is facing Umaga…"
"So that leaves Kane, Thorn, Jeff… hey… let's send Jeff!" Vince said aloud. "Have him think about what he did by sending him with Kratos and the boys."
"My boys may not be going!" I snapped back. "I need to think this through…"
"And Jeff can't go! He hasn't done it before" Matt protested.
"We will think this through… everyone just sleep on it. Ok?" Vince stood up and left as we all remained at the table.
"Does this mean I am NOT in Wrestlemaina whatsoever?" Thorn asked aloud.
Triple H smiled abit. "Let me talk to him, but I got a feeling if any of you do this… it would be a greater pay cut than that of what we're getting for the Event. I'm not going to push it, but those with a match, need to stay in the match. Deadman has a title to retain, John has a show to put on, Dave has some ass to kick and Matt…. You've been through enough"
"Did you see how much I got though?" Matt asked as he showed Hunter the money.
Triple H only peered into the bag before his eyes widened, he stared at me for the longest time. "So… what do I have to do to be a dragon?" he asked.
"Well…" Beowulf began to say.
"Son, don't even breath a word!" I warned. I have to call Melissa and tell her what's going on.
Later
"So that's the story, the boys want to go. I wanted to check with you first" I explained to Melissa, We were on the phone for hours it seems, she didn't like the idea of the boys going alone.
"Don't you have a Wrestlemaina match?" she asked.
"Not yet… at least. Vince wants to send Jeff along with the boys to teach him a 'lesson' I doubt he would go… he doesn't know how to deal with these things." I explained.
"You're thinking about going are you?" she asked.
"I owe this person a lot… they helped me in a time of need, I… I need to return the favor"
There was silence between us. "What of the other places?" she asked.
"I don't know yet, Vince is very tempted since they pay by the pound… odd no? Makes us sound like we're the cattle!"
She gave a small laugh, but left the choice to the boys, and I. We said out goodbyes as my sons awaited for an answer. "Well?" Creed asked.
"She letting you choose" I explained, needless to say what the answer was for them, they already turned into their dragon forms and searched for a fourth to go with them. Matt had come up to me with a sigh.
"I've been thinking…"
"Matt No…" I said.
"Not that… for Jeff" he explained.
I was rather stunned. "Why Jeff?" I asked.
"I think he needs to do something a little different, maybe odd for once… more odd than usual you know?" he asked.
"Talk to him, if he wants to do it, I won't argue." Matt nodded as he walked off. This is starting to get a little strange, not to mention… why are dragons the only ones that eat these damn things?
