Chapter 10- the out of control Hardy…

Slipping through the walls, passing every demon and creature Kane was to encounter. Matt led them safely to the second chamber of the readers of fate. Jeff was paced about worriedly, Kane told Matt to hold back incase Jeff wasn't trapped in the story. Kane emerged from the hidden wall passage. Jeff instantly stared blankly, shocked into silence. "K…K…"

Kane gave him a hopeful look praying Jeff would say Kane. "Come on Jeff… you know who I am"

"Kratos…" the young hardy whispered.

"Crap" uttered Kane.

"YOU GOT TO BE KRATOS! KANE THAT AIN'T FAIR!" Jeff yelled.

"Oh God, don't scare me like that Hardy Boy! Damn it… what's with your feet?" Jeff looked down and saw his feet were losing control of themselves. He began walking towards the edge of the room… Jeff was going to jump!

"Kane… Help me! I'm going to…" before Kane could take a step… did Jeff jump out the window! Matt screamed as he rushed to it and see if he could have caught his brother… but… he was gone.

"Damn that Hardy Boy" sighed Randy. "Now what?" he asked.

"Jeff is dead!"

"No… not yet… excuse me…" Kane looked to the walls and found a portal that takes one back in time. He went back to the moment he noticed Jeff was loosing control of his feet. He caught him before he could make it to the window and leap out.

Matt and Orton came from hiding and didn't know what had just happened. "What the fk was that!" Randy demanded. "You were in front of us one moment, and then the next you're on the other side of the room!"

"Just time travel. Ok, Matt stay here with Jeff, Orton. Bring a pot with you, we are going for blood!" Kane grinned as his tone soon startled the three young men.

"God, we got to get him out of here, he's enjoying this way too much!" Orton muttered as he found a pot to use.

Since they had managed to avoid any beasts, it wasn't hard to get the blood they needed for the sacrifice. Kane had Jeff read the scroll before him after he smeared the blood onto the young Hardy's face. He forced Matt and Orton to hide as he poured the blood into the carvings on the floor; Kane now got the right to go to the Phoenix chamber to unleash the firebird. Now… things were going to get ugly.

When the half naked Layla left, Kane turned to his three companions. "I don't suppose either one of you know a quick way about the Phoenix chamber… do you?" he asked.

"No need to worry about it, I got a plan" grinned Jeff.

"Why am I no so rest assured about this" Uttered Orton.

Jeff knew a hidden passage way to the chamber, however Kane cringed at this part of the story, it was the one level he constantly kept dying in… all due to the trapped door and spiked floor. Along the way to the chamber, Matt showed Jeff the spear of light Kane gave him. "No way! He gets a weapon, how come I don't get anything Kane! This SO Ain't fair!"

With the roll of the eyes, Kane tossed Jeff the head of Euryale. "There you got head, happy?" Kane asked.

The three young wrestlers couldn't contain the giggles to Kane's joke, he had to lighten the tension somehow. Jeff however gave back the Gorgon head. "Anything else? What about that giant Mallet?" he asked

"Left it with Batista. He was the Barbarian king"

"Really? I thought it would be Triple H?" Matt said aloud.

"Hey, I was just as surprised as you were"

They entered to the Phoenix chamber where Stephanie's voice echoed the walls. "Kratos Kane, you must free the Phoenix in order to reach the sisters of fate, free the phoenix and change your destiny…"

"Stephanie?" Jeff asked aloud.

"Yeah, trust me, it's going to be the least odd thing we see around here. Now let me think… wait… How the hell am I going to get across this! That's lava…" Kane announced.

"Very observant Kane…" came the cocky Orton.

"Shut the hell up! The level we skipped, I was to get Atlas' quake and the wings of Icarus! I didn't get either!"

Matt looked to Jeff. "You said you had a plan?"

"There are hidden passages in the chamber too, it won't be hard to get the Phoenix free, we just have Kane boost me up to get it down…"

"Then what?" Orton demanded. "It can't be that easy!"

"It isn't. I got to get across the lava to get a jewel to use the horn upstairs to free the Phoenix once it's reborn!" said Kane. "Problem is… no wings… no jewel, no freeing the Phoenix" Kane then remembered Orton's shoes. "Time to get light on your feet twinkle toes" he grinned…
