Chapter 2: The Ministry of Darkness Forms

Sister of Darkness II
Next week's edition of Raw is War takes at the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas.
Angel sits in her locker room with a sense of uneasiness, all day she felt a familiar ice-cold sensation run down her spine. She knew only one WWF Superstar had that ability and it was none other than the Undertaker! She was waiting to cross a street during a little tour of the town when she spotted her oldest brother on the other side of the street, making her go wide-eyed but he disappeared when a car drove by making Angel think it was her imagination playing tricks on her.
Turning the TV on, she watches the show open with fireworks and a roaring crowd.
Micheal Cole said, "Good evening, everyone and welcome to Raw is War! We are live in the sold out Compaq Center in Houston, Texas! I'm Michael Cole along with my partner Jerry the "King" Lawler!" The crowd goes berserk when D-Generation X's music hit and all members of the group walk to the ring and do the DX chop.
Triple H said, "What's up, Houston?" The fans' screaming provided the answer, "Last week, we made sure the Corporation didn't pull anything in the main event. Ladies and gentlemen, the new World Wrestling Federation Champion, Mankind!" The deranged man's music plays and the WWF Champion advances to the squared circle, all the while showing the fans his newly won title.
Mankind cried, "First off, I want to thank every one of you for showing your support. I'd like to thank D-Generation X for watching my back and I would like to thank Stone Cold Steve Austin for knocking The Rock unconscious with that steel chair. As long as I'm champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin will always have a chance at the title and I would love nothing more than to face the Texas Rattlesnake at Wrestlemania." Suddenly, the Corporation's theme hits and The Rock comes out with both Vince and Shane McMahon in tow.
The Rock said, "Hate to interrupt this piece of crap celebration but you only won that WWF Championship last week due to your Degenerate buddies and a Rattlesnake. The Rock wants a rematch for the title at the Royal Rumble."
Mankind informed, "That will never happen unless you agree to face me in a no DQ, no count out, 'I Quit Match.' And to make sure we have a clean winner, the other members of the Corporation are banned from ringside."
Vince took over, "Well, you best not to assume you'll be champion come the Royal Rumble, Mankind because later tonight you will be defending that WWF Championship against Kane!" The crowd goes wild as The Rock glares at Vince, wondering what the hell was he thinking.
The first match of the night was a Tag-Team Match to see who earns the right to be the number 1 contenders for the WWF Tag-Team Championship.
The New Age Outlaws music hit as Road Dogg said, "Oh, you didn't know? Your ass better call somebody!" The duo entered the ring, "Cut the music! Welcome to the dog house where you know the New Age Outlaws kick butt doggy style. Now, let's make some noise in here! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, D-Generation X proudly presents to you the soon-to-be Tag-Team Champions of the world, the "Road Dogg" Jesse James, the "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, the New Age Outlaws!" He hands Billy Gunn the microphone.
Billy Gunn said, "And if you're not down with that, we two words for ya!" He brings the mic up for the fans to say "Suck it!" Their challengers step out.
Howard Fickle announced, "And their opponents. Being accompanied by Debra, at a combined weight of 461 pounds, Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett!" Jerry Lawler finds himself a little preoccupied from looking at Debra's attire, which was composed of a creamy white blouse, a matching mini-skirt and high heels.
The team enters the ring and prepare for battle.
The referee calls for the bell and get the match underway.
Road Dogg and Jeff Jarrett start things off with a tie up and Jarrett buries his shoulder into Road Dogg's stomach before backing off to prevent being disqualified. Road Dogg fights his way out of the turnbuckle and brings Jarrett over to tag Billy Gunn. The New Age Outlaws do a double-team suplex before Road Dogg steps out. Billy Gunn Irish whips Jarrett into the ropes and scores a hip toss he next goes for a cover but Jeff Jarrett surprises him with a roll-up pin and Gunn escapes at 2. This allows Jarrett to tag Owen Hart in. The Canadian plans Billy Gunn with a piledriver and sets him up for the Sharpshooter in hoping to end this match early but Billy Gunn pushes Owen back and brings Road Dogg in. Road Dogg drives Owen to the canvas with a DDT but instead of covering him he applies the Boston crab submission hold. Owen crawls his way to the ropes and is able to grab hold of the bottom one. The referee demands Road Dogg to let go if he doesn't want to risk being disqualified, Jesse James relinquishes the hold at 4. Owen grimaces in pain after being released from the Boston crab. Road Dogg escapes an inside cradle pin at a count of 2. He places Owen in a headlock but the Canadian counters with a belly to back suplex.
Suddenly Debra steps onto the apron to distract the referee and Chyna went over to deal with her but this allows Owen Hart to nail Road Dogg in the back of the head with a heel kick. Turning around, the referee spots Owen hooking the leg and does a 3 count then calls for the bell.
Tony Chimel announced, "Here are your winners and number 1 contenders, Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett!" Angel heads for her upcoming match with Luna.
In the arena Luna makes her to the entrance ramp under her music.
Tony Chimel said, "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making her way to the ring, Luna!" The creepy woman entered and eagerly awaits the arrival of her opponent. Dark Side played and the Compaq Center goes dark then flames erupted on the ramp followed by purple fog and lighting as Chimel resumed, "And her opponent. From Death Valley, weighing in at 220 pounds, Angel!" The Deadgirl begins her slow, methodical approach to the ring under the purple light. Angel reaches the steel steps and parts the sides of her cape to move up. She rolls her eyes back as she slowly brings her arms up to return the lights.
Jerry the "King" Lawler shivered, "My god, look at that face. It seems Angel is becoming gradually more demonic each week thanks to Vince's answer to her request of a rematch for the WWF Championship last week." Angel steps through the middle rope and quickly removes the cape, placing it outside.
If looks could kill, Luna felt her heart would suddenly stop beating from the icy glare Angel's giving her.
Angel notices Luna directing her attention to the ramp so she follows and spots Dennis Knight walking toward the announce table. Returning to his job, the referee calls for the bell.
The Deadgirl watches as her opponent looks for an opening but Angel refuses to expose any. Giving up, the two enter a tie up that Angel easily wins throwing Vachon into the ropes and nearly takes her head off with a boot to the face. Bouncing off the ropes, Angel connects a leg drop on Luna's chest. Going for a cover, Luna kicks out at 2. Angel clamps her hand around the blonde's throat to the count of 3 before letting go. Luna launches a surprise attack on Angel and is to get the 19-year old off her feet. Angel sits up and Luna runs off the ropes to kick her square in the face, knocking her back down but Angel sits up and in response Luna knocks her down again, only to have the process repeat itself. Annoyed Luna gets out of the ring, reaches under it to acquire a steel chair.
Michael Cole stated, "I think Luna's planning on cracking Angel's skull with that chair at the cost of being disqualified." Luna slides into the ring, raises the chair over her head and drives it forward but Angel wrestles it out of her hands and tosses it outside of the ring. Utilizing raw power, Angel Irish whips Vachon out to ringside and steps out to pursue her. Luna reverses an Irish whip and Angel's knees collide with the ring steps and flips over them.
'No matter how many times that happens, it still hurts like hell.' Angel thought over the painful sensation of bone hitting steel.
Realizing that the teen is vulnerable, Luna rolls into the ring to break the referee's count then grabs a handful of Angel's hair, slamming her face into the steps repeatedly. Inside the Corporation locker room, Kane was seriously tempted to go out there and get Luna off his sister. If she keeps bashing her head on the steps, Angel will end up with amnesia. Those worries are put aside when he sees his younger sibling counter and fight back. Seeing the cut on her forehead, a sick smile forms behind his mask. If Angel was busted open, her opponent's in deep trouble.
He's proven right when Angel sees the blood on her gloved hand and growls almost demonically causing the fans in the arena to tense up, some in fear, some in anticipation. Grabbing Luna by the throat Angel harshly throws her into the steel steps, earning her a cry of pain from the blonde-haired woman. She rolls Luna into the ring before wrenching the arm and walking over to the nearest turnbuckle and walks the top rope before executing Old School gaining some hang time while at it. She next brings her hand up signaling for the chokeslam, sensing a presence Angel turns her head to see Bradshaw and Faarooq, better known as the Acolytes, walking over to the announce table and tell Dennis Knight that "He" is here. Dennis Knight follows them up the ramp. Returning her attention to the opponent, Angel waits for Luna to turn around and when she does the Deadgirl chokeslams her. She does the Rest in Peace sign and picks Luna up, aligning her head with the canvas and delivers the Tombstone. Folding the arms across the chest, Angel rolls her eyes back as the ref counts to 3 and calls for the bell.
Tony Chimel announced, "Here is your winner, Angel!" Standing in the middle of the ring with hands on her hips, Angel takes in the crowd's cheering. She goes to one knee and flips her hair as she raises her hand into the air, commanding purple light to descend. As she walks back to her locker room, the cut on Angel's forehead finishes healing thanks to her powers.
Returning from a commercial break, the lights go out then turn blue as a chorus sounds and druids walk onto the entrance ramp. The camera zooms in on Dennis Knight laying on a table with the Acolytes watching him. Suddenly the Bells and Thunder theme plays and a large man dressed in a black robe with his face concealed by the hood walks out and sits on a throne shaped like the Undertaker's symbol. Paul Bearer bows to the hooded man and Angel can easily tell that it's her oldest brother, the Undertaker but there is something different about him. There was a sinister aura around him and had a Satan-like goatee.
The Deadman's music is replaced with eerie ceremony music.
Jerry Lawler said, "I don't like the looks of this!"
The Undertaker stated, "My adversaries placed me in a grave as if it would be my final resting place, filling it with the Earth's rotting soil. They tried to destroy me, wishing I would just go away. But all they did was send me back to the place of my origin. The more they try to destroy me, the more powerful I become. And now, I have risen from my grave and shall slay the ones I once saved! The reckoning is upon us! The day that the Ministry of Darkness seizes the land, destroys all that you hold dear, make playthings of your heroes and devour your innocence has come. In all composite evil for which there is no mercy, no hope, no escape, it's called the future. And in that future, I will look down upon thee and decide whether you're an agent of darkness or just mere kindling for my fires. The power of darkness shall be offered to a chosen few and to those who resist the temptations of my Ministry, pain becomes synonymous with punishment. Embrace the darkness and relish in the unearthly delight that pain has to offer! Resisting will only subject you to unlimited torment. Don't fight it, it will tear your soul apart. Let my servants be few and secret for I am the reaper of men, the chaser of souls, the weaver of nightmares. I am the heart of darkness. I am now and ever will be the purity of evil. The hell you were threatened with as a child is no longer an option, it's a reality. A living, breathing reality and you all are right in the middle of it. Yes. Hell has relocated to Earth!" The Lord of Darkness rises from his throne and moves to Dennis Knight's location, speaking in tongues that Angel didn't understand.
Michael Cole asked, "What's he doing?" Paul Bearer hands him the dagger and Undertaker rolls up a sleeve to his robe and forms a fist. He process to cut his left wrist until blood starts coming out, making Cole and Jerry Lawler feel grossed out. Undertaker hands the dagger back to Paul and grabs a ceremonial cup, dripping the blood from his wrist into it.
Undertaker looked at Dennis, "From this moment on, you are no longer Dennis Knight. You are Mideon. Now drink." The newly christened man lifts his head and opens his mouth to let Undertaker pour the blood, Mideon swallows it obediently and Jerry Lawler gags from what he's witnessing. Mideon rests his head on the table again and Undertaker speaks in tongues again before unzipping Mideon's velvet red bodysuit. Using the dagger, the Phenom carves his symbol into the man's chest.
For some strange reason, Angel watches the thing with intrigue.
Undertaker said, "Now, you will know why you are afraid of the dark!" A lightning bolt strikes an Undertaker symbol, setting it ablaze as the Bells and Thunder theme plays. The Demon of Death Valley sits on his throne again while the camera records Mideon hovering in the air.
In the next Singles Match, X-Pac sets to defend his WWF European Championship against Al Snow. The resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota was already in the ring when Al Snow's music.
Al Snow was a strange guy in Angel's opinion.
The man stood at 6'1, shoulder-length blonde-dyed hair, brown eyes, a beard and trimmed sideburns. His ring gear was composed of a black singlet with a short top over it, knee pads and boots. But the strangest thing is he talks to a mannequin head named Head, it was his mentor. Something that Angel didn't understand one bit.
Tony Chimel said, "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Wrestling Federation European Championship. Introducing the challenger. From Lima, Ohio, weighing in at 249 pounds, Al Snow!" The man enters and the referee holds the European Championship up then calls for the bell.
Al Snow places X-Pac in a side headlock that the champion breaks by Irish whipping Snow into the ropes and Snow knocks him down with a shoulder tackle. The WWF European Champion leaps over his opponent when he spots Al Snow running at him and executes a hip toss followed by a drop kick that places Snow against the bottom turnbuckle setting him up for the Bronco Buster but X-Pac stops himself when the challenger slides out of the ring. He gives chase and scores a hit to the back of the head then does a few knife edge chops and rolls Al into the ring. Pinning X-Pac in the corner, Al Snow delivers a series of head butts before halting to shake off the dizziness. The European Champion is quickly upon him striking with knife edge chops and Snow reverses an Irish whip to the turnbuckle. He gets hit with the black-haired man's boot and catches X-Pac running toward him and counters with a tilt-a-whirl back breaker. He clamps a hand down on the champion's trap tightly until X-Pac returns to his feet and elbows Snow in the gut that makes Al push him into the turnbuckle. X-Pac ducks a right hand and hits a spinning heel kick. Reversing an Irish whip, Snow tries to nail his opponent but X-Pac ducks it and upon rebound, scores a leaping clothesline. Throwing Al Snow into the ropes he goes for a neck breaker and Snow counters with a powerslam. Going for a cover, Al gets a 2 count. After body slamming the European Champion, the 249 pounder goes for a moonsault but X-Pac avoids it. X-Pac nails him with another spinning heel kick and successfully hits the Bronco Buster.
Suddenly Goldust comes down to ringside and taps Al Snow on the shoulder to get his attention, showing him Head seemingly wanting to return it. However, he winds up getting hit with Head behind the referee's back and X-Pac takes advantage hitting the X-Factor. Hooking both legs, he earns a 3 count.
Tony Chimel announced, "Here is your winner and still World Wrestling Federation European Champion, X-Pac!" Quickly recovering from the finisher, Al Snow rolls out of the ring to pursue Goldust up the ramp. The Bizarre One senses his presence and whacks him with Head. But Al Snow's relentless causing Goldust to hit him with Head again and again.
'I have never met anyone so strange in my life.' Angel thought after watching the match.
A scowl appears on her face when she sees Vince talking to Kane about the next Title Match.
Vince said, "You wanna do this the easy way or do you wanna do it the hard way, Kane? If you do what I say and beat Mankind for the WWF Championship, you'll stay out of the looney bin. But if you choose to disobey or lose the match, you are going back. Do you understand?" Kane silently nods. No matter how much it disgusts him, being Vince's Corporate lackey was better than being in the asylum. Vince was even giving him a chance to win the WWF title without help from any member of the Corporation.
In the arena, the crimson red demon's music hit and flames erupt from the entrance ramp as Tony Chimel stated, "The following contest set for one fall is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 326 pounds, Kane!" The 7 footer methodically walks to the ring and steps over the ropes.
Michael Cole explained, "These two men are no strangers to each other. They use to be Tag-Team Champions before they parted ways. Both have a high threshold of pain and I can see them beating the hell out of each other. I have a gut feeling that the WWF Championship will change hands tonight, King."
Jerry Lawler added, "And moments ago, we heard Vince tell Kane not to let him down." He saw Kane bringing his arms up, "You might want to cover your ears, Michael." The 7 footer thrusts his arms down, conjuring fire from the ring posts.
Then his opponent's theme hit and Tony said, "And his opponent. Weighing in at 287 pounds, he is the World Wrestling Federation Champion, Mankind!" Kane doesn't waste any time and attacks Mankind after the WWF Champion nears the ring and referee Earl Hebner calls for the bell.
Kane slams Mankind's head into the steel steps then pulls the top half off, raising them over his head as Kane charges Mankind with them. Mankind avoids them and kicks Kane in the gut making the crimson red demon drop them and slams his masked face into them. After rolling into the ring to break the 10 count, Mankind introduces Kane to the steel steps again via drop toehold. The WWF Champion drives the steps onto Kane's back and rolls into the ring. Kane steps onto the apron and drives his opponent's throat against the top rope before entering the ring as well. Pinning Mankind in the corner with a kick, Kane delivers an uppercut then a head butt. He next Irish whips Mankind into the opposing turnbuckle, following him in for a clothesline but the champion counters with an elbow to the temple. He's able to reverse their positions and get Kane down to one knee. Using pure strength Kane catches Mankind in a spinebuster. Irish Whipping the opponent into the ropes, Kane nails him with a boot to the face then chokes the WWF Champion against the second rope, putting all of his weight behind it before having to break it at 4. Grabbing a handful of brown hair, Kane strikes with an uppercut and throws Mankind into the ropes again, lowering his head for a back body drop but Mankind counters with a piledriver. Going for the first cover of the match, Mankind gets a 2 count before Kane kicks out. Not letting the 7 footer a chance to recuperate, Mankind sends Kane out to ringside where the announce table is via baseball slide. He sets the masked monster up for another piledriver but Kane powers out and hold Mankind's legs to drive his back into the other set of steel steps. Rolling the downed person into the ring, Kane goes for a cover of his own only to receive a 2 count. The 326 pounder climbs the turnbuckle for an aerial clothesline and connects it. He covers Mankind again and the champion kicks out. Kane decides to finish him off with a Chokeslam from Hell when Mankind counters with a low blow behind Earl Hebner's back and plants Kane with a DDT. Returning to his feet, the WWF Champion pulls out Socko, putting it on as Kane returns to his feet. Mankind uses the Mandible Claw but Kane's mask prevents him from applying the right amount of pressure for the hold to fully deliver its effect. Even though he's dazed from the move, Kane is able to counter with a Tombstone. Sitting up he locks both arms for a pin when The Rock bolts down the ramp and breaks it forcing Earl Hebner to call for the bell.
Rock gets out of the ring to grab a steel chair and enters to nail Kane with it but the crimson red demon won't go down so Rock hits him again and this time, it works. He next uses it on Mankind and Kane sits up but Rock makes him eat steel one more time.
The crowd goes crazy when Stone Cold Steve Austin's music hits and see the Texas Rattlesnake running toward the ring. The Rock dares him to enter the ring but Austin stays outside. This distraction allows Mankind to snatch the chair out of Rock's hands and Stone Cold enters but The Rock escapes. Austin proceeds to deliver a Stunner to both Mankind and Kane.
To say that Vince McMahon was pissed is an understatement, he was downright fuming by what he saw.
Upon seeing The Rock enter, he growled, "What the hell were you thinking, Rock?! Kane was moments away from becoming WWF Champion and you decided to cost him it!"
The Rock retorted, "No way am I going to allow some human French fry take the WWF Championship. I will be doing that at the Royal Rumble!" The last match of the night was the Corporate Rumble to see who will earn the number 30 spot at the Royal Rumble event.
Chyna wounded up earning that spot when Stone Cold Steve Austin distracted Vince, allowing Chyna to eliminate him and in turn become the first women's wrestler to enter the 30-man Royal Rumble.
With the show now over Angel showers and changes into street clothes, grabs her bag and exits the Compaq Center for the hotel. After eating at a fancy restaurant down in the lobby, she takes an elevator to floor 10 where her hotel room is. Sliding her card into the lock, the light flashes before she heard the door unlock. Angel steps into the bathroom and brushes her teeth followed by gurgling some mouthwash. Wiping her mouth off, Angel stares at her reflection in the mirror.
She was certainly a looker with her silky black hair, her enchanting green eyes, her creamy skin and fit body. Her 42 D cup breasts, she had mixed feelings about it. It was nice to know that most male fans around her age thought of her attractive and kind. Some of the older men loved staring at her chest, something Angel hated a lot. Those who had guts to grope her breasts ended up getting the snot beat out of them. Any eye witnesses would hear stuff being tossed and screams of pain.
Angel stares at her hair. It recently grew longer and now almost extends to the small of her back. She contemplates on whether to cut it or not. Putting it in the back of her mind, Angel climbs into bed and is soon asleep. A few minutes in, her face twitches as if she was having a weird dream.
Angel stands in a graveyard with fog hugging the ground and a blood red moon shining in the night sky, creating a scene right out of a horror movie.
The teen walks through the place looking left and right when she hears evil laughter in the air and spikes erupt from the ground forcing Angel to dodge them.
She hid behind a dead tree and demanded, "Who's out there? Show yourself!" Angel spots a silhouette emerging from the background and narrows her eyes as the figure comes closer. The moonlight reveals the person's identity.
It looked like a perfect copy of Angel but her eyes had a tint of red in them plus a sinister aura surrounded her, making Angel almost sick to her stomach.
Angel asked, "Who are you? Why do you look like me?"
The being grinned ominously, "Why, I'm you. The dark, inner side of you."
Angel repeated, "The dark side of me?"
Inner Angel nodded, "That's right, I have been dormant inside you this whole time. Everyone has a dark side in them no matter how hard they seek to deny it, it's there." Her dark self puts Angel on edge.
She said, "Answer me this, why have you come?"
Inner Angel replied, "I've been watching you and I can sense your frustration. You are determined to become WWF Champion again, aren't you?"
Angel raised an eyebrow, "What's it to you if I am?" She dodged a javelin that came at her, "Attack me? You certainly have no matters!" Angel flares her purple aura and her dark side matches it with the black one. The two auras clash with each other. 5 minutes later, they're at a stalemate and Angel feels anger building inside her.
Inner Angel taunted, "Come on, is that all you got? You're the Deadgirl, for God's sake." Clenching her teeth, Angel materializes a sword and it cuts her dark half's cheek, blood gently pours from the cut.
Angel looked at her hands, "Where did that come from? What's this power I feel?"
Inner Angel giggled darkly, "That was the darkness you tapped into. Tell me, what did it feel like? Was it delicious? Intoxicating? I bet you are begging to taste more of it."
Angel glared at her, "Shut up, phantom! Don't tell me what to do! I can handle my problems without your help!"
Inner Angel laughed manically, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha! You think you can resist the temptation forever? I foresee you giving in to the darkness within you sometime soon. See ya!" The evil being vanishes behind the fog.
Angel shoots up from her bizarre dream breathing heavily and sweating, she quickly gets her breathing under control and wipes the sweat off. Closing her eyes again, Angel resumes sleeping.
A/N: Chapter 2 done.
Here, we had Undertaker transform Dennis Knight into Mideon. When I first saw that segment as a kid, I had chills and I still do to this day when I watch that. The Ministry of Darkness angle was the Undertaker at his peak in terms of career and physique. He was just ripped!
Angel met her dark side in a dream. Wouldn't it be scary if you met your dark side in a dream?
Read and review.
Stay tuned for chapter 3.
