Chapter 10

The aftermath was about to be unleashed in the locker room. Kane made his long awaited début with the WWE fans and revealed his masked persona once more to the world. The fans were thrilled to see the masked monster back, but he didn't return for them. Instead he savored the sensation of choke slamming John Cena before the crowd, he made his way to the back where he sensed the numbers gathering.

Waiting him in the back parking lot was the Undertaker, along with half of the locker room who are supernatural like himself. "You!" Kane called and pointed to the Deadman. "You LIED to me, for YEARS! I want answers!"

The Undertaker only nodded his head to him. "I need your questions"

Kane made a rather bold dash towards the Undertaker, yet was stopped half way by CM Punk. "Kane, don't go into this with anger, ask your questions, then see if he deserves his ass kicked afterwards"

He looked about and saw the Hunters who had since swayed their views because of the Undertaker standing along the walls. They looked ready to jump in if need be. With deep breaths, Kane calmed himself down.

"Tell me, why you lied about my power. I was never one of you, I was a creature of the light not of the Darkness as you have stated for year! Tell me everything!"

Taker stepped forward. "We never expected you to learn this quickly about it. But since it is out of our hands, there is no time like now to explain our actions. Kane, you are quite rare, even in the supernatural world"

"Rare? What the hell do you mean, rare?"

The Undertaker began to speak of a tale of the creatures of light and darkness, a war that fell between them and how the balance was distorted and nearly destroyed. There were those of the darkness who didn't wish to see the balance lost to the world and took those of the light and hid them in the mortal realm. "You are one of the strongest creatures of that realm. Punk can tell you that, he knew that the moment you two tagged in Ohio Valley wrestling before he got called up" Taker paused for a moment, as he turned to Punk. "He wanted to tell you from day one, but I convinced him otherwise. There were creatures of my kind, out to hunt down those who belonged to the light. We kept you hidden among us, as darkness so you would be left alone"

"It doesn't make a lick of sense, why the hell did you have me risk my life protecting Cena!"

"It was the lie we managed to infuse in those who wished to destroy everything," announced Edge. "John here comes from a family of vampire warriors, fighters if you will who believed in the balance between the light and the dark. There are vampires of light too, just so you know. It's how John here learned to live without blood"

Cena then stepped forward. "I thought if they kept their focus on me, they wouldn't discover what we really hid"

Kane shook his head in disgust to them. "And so a young boy's life was risked to keep a secret from me?" he demanded.

"Accidents happen. Sacrifices must be made," said the Undertaker.

The answer wasn't good enough for Kane. "No, no more sacrifices, not of innocent live. I saw too much in the underworld. How the small and weak are taken, abused and sold for game…"

"We know what you did, you destroyed the Black market of the Underworld, single handedly" announced the Undertaker. "Problem is now, you exposed yourself!"

"Actually…" chimed in Punk. Taker turned and glared at him. "He hasn't revealed himself, nor can he be sensed they your kind. Because of this…" He held up Kane's hand that held the loose, leather face covering. Kane kept staring at it, wondering what it really was, and how it could hide him from the creatures of darkness.

"Kane is still in danger, it won't be long before they find him. They will kill you all if they do!" protested John Cena.

"Let them try. Punk, we need to talk. Rest of you… I don't even want to look at you right now" Kane turned his back as he and Punk walked away.

Taker was left standing there, stunned to what had just transpired before him. He wondered if he did the right thing. Edge came up from behind him. "Since when did he get his mask back? I thought when you removed it, he forget what he knew and believed everything you said?"

There were no words from the Undertaker; instead he turned to face those who followed him. "We need to more vigilant than ever before, no doubt those who live for black market goods, will come here to seek their own justice for the loss of their business"

"So, where does that leave us?" question Sheamus. "We ain't chopped liver here"

"I need you to keep an eye on Kane. I want to be certain that he is ready for the responsibility that is coming. We're going to be in for a hell of a ride…" Taker however was preoccupied with another thought in his head. Where did Kane get the mask that hid him from being sense, and how the red one he wore now got into his possession…

The End
