Chapter 7- another dragon in the mix- Undertaker

For some reason, Kane and his Mrs. decided to spend the night at the arena, far be it from me to tell him where to sleep. But it concerned me; he was getting attached to those little dragons. God only knows how long it would be until Raiden takes them away and back to someplace to keep them safe from the world's prying eyes. But… I couldn't help but feel happy for the big lug. He's done a hell of a job looking out for them and taking the ribbing from the guys. But I could only wonder how long it would last.

By the next day, I went to see him and his wife. I was rather stunned to see Kane was still fast asleep on the air mattress Stephanie brought for him, yet… there wasn't a scale of the little dragons. I shook Kane awake. "Bro, where are the kids?" I asked of him.

Kane's hand came over his gut, which woke him in an instant, he sat up and looked into his pouch… none of the kids where there! "Help me look! Damn it, why the hell didn't I name them!" he growled as he got on his hands and knees and began to tear apart the room. We couldn't find any of them, yet another startling discovery was made. Where was his wife?

I knew Melissa wasn't one to go off on her own away from Kane. I had a hunch if I find the wife, I find the kids. Oh man, how right was I on that one? I heard a familiar odd; comforting purr of little dragons in a boiler room… yeah… you heard me. Melissa was curled into a ball almost, and tucked in with her were the dragons… strange thing was… she had become one too! She turned into a dragon!

Quickly, I went to find Kane and tell him what happened, he was quick to rush to his wife, yet the moment he saw her with the dragons… he smiled… he couldn't contain himself. "I… I didn't think she was one of us," he whispered.

"She was dormant" we turned to see Raiden and Shao Kahn standing in the doorway. "She's been a dragon for a while, just… not able to become one… until now" Shao explained.

"But… why?" Kane asked. "In the time the world needed the dragons to save it…"

"You were more than enough to do the job… just like how the four young ones have come to find you… she turned for the younger ones were in need of a mother" Raiden explained with a smile. "So… how are you going to do now?" he asked of us.

"Do… do I get to keep them? The babies I mean… I've grown to like them a lot" Kane smirked.

"You better. You still haven't read the book have you?" Shao demanded.

"With all due respect, he had his hands full" I growled lowly.

"Granted, so I shall explain. When new parents adopt young dragons, the little ones alter themselves. When they were feeding from you. Not only were they taking their nourishment… they were taking your DNA… those little ones are yours and your wife's" Shao explained. "The moment she touched them, they became your children as if she had birthed them herself"

This sent Kane in a loop! He couldn't believe that those were now his children. I got to admit though; some of those little rascals really did start to look like him! "That is… if you want them" Raiden chimed in. "I did force this upon you, so I can easily fix it"

"Like hell you are!" I snapped back at him.

"Kane?" Raiden asked.

Just then his wife began to stir, the little ones were too. Kane went to her side and told her what had happened, he was going to make sure it was all right with her before he announced anything. There was silence between the two of them; I think I knew their answer, for not a word left his lips. One thing about Kane, he can express what he wants with body language alone. Comes with being forced as a mute wrestler for over six years. He returned to Raiden and Shao Khan. He smiled and said. "They aren't going anywhere"

Raiden smiled, nodding his head. "I had a feeling you were going to come to that conclusion"

Melissa soon joined the conversation as she held her six new children in her arms. "Just one thing though" she said as she passed the kids off to Kane and myself. She approached Raiden fearlessly and took hold of his shirt tightly, yanking him down to stare her in the eyes. She growled a warning. "Never… EVER try and screw over my husband like that again… or you'll deal with me!" she let him go and gently cleared the wrinkles from Raiden's shirt. "Any questions?"

For once… Raiden was silent. He said nothing as he quickly took his leave. I stared at Melissa as she cooed over her new children. "I'm glad she's on our side!" I announced to Kane.

"You and me both"

When the rest of the locker room returned, Kane proudly showed off his new kids to them and said that they were staying. Vince looked a little worried. "Uh… so how long are you going to be stuck like this for?" he asked.

Randy was more than willing to field that one. "Dragons grow into adults within two years of being born, it depends on how well they eat and are nurtured by their parents. So it will depend on Kane and his wife…"

"Great… just great. How the hell am I going to go on with the current storyline if Kane is stuck as that!" Vince demanded angrily.

"Vince… I can change back at will… I just need someone to look after the kids when I do. Melissa can't come on the road with me, she has a life too you know… but… we do have other dragons here…" there was a look in Kane's eye that I didn't like as he stared at everyone who could turn into dragons. Matt and Jeff looked rather interested. Thorn, Punk and Batista were confused… I knew what was coming…
