A new beginning Chapter 28
*Taker/Kane/J.J./Outlaws/Hunter/announcers*
I'll take him out so they can finish Kane. Hunter thought running at Taker with a chair.
I don't think so. Taker said moving at Hunter with lightning speed and taking him down with a clothesline.
Oof. Taker groaned when he came down on the chair knocking the wind out of his lungs.
Hunter quickly got to his feet but the chair was trapped under Taker.
Can't be disqualified. Taker thought, shoving the chair out of the ring even as he got to his knees.
Hunter moved on Taker kicking him in the side before he could gain his feet.
Not happening. Kane thought when he saw the Outlaws about to join Hunter.
Rapidly crossing the ring Kane took out the outlaws. Grabbing Jessie by the hair and throwing him bodily at Billy.
Now to get him out of here. Kane thought turning toward Hunter.
"Looks like Hunter wants to get the Outlaws disqualified." JR said when Hunter entered the ring.
"NO he's just moving things along." King said.
"No he's cheating. The very thing you condemned in Taker and Kane a minute ago." JR said sounding degusted.
I forgot about Chyna. Kane thought feeling a sudden weight on his back.
Gotta get up. Taker thought, trying to avoid another kick from Hunter.
"Now Chyna's in the ring King." JR said. "What do you call that if not cheating."
King didn't say anything.
Guys you've got to get rid of Hunter and Chyna. I know you can do it. J.J. thought still catching the action on film.
That's it. Taker thought grabbing Hunter's foot as it came in toward him once again then pulling it throwing the other man off balance.
I'll just hang on to this a minute. Taker thought as he got to his feet still holding Hunter's foot.
Releasing the foot Taker stepped in faster than Hunter could regain his balance and attacked with lefts and rights.
I'll just toss her. Kane thought moving toward the ropes while reaching back to grab Chyna's head.
Shaking his head Billy got to his feet outside the ring.
Jessie, Billy thought going to his partner and helping him up.
"We've got to get in there." Billy said indicating the ring.
"Why is the Ref not counting?" JR said as he watched Jessie and Billy outside the ring.
"Because he's trying to get control of Taker and Kane." King said.
"He shouldn't be trying to get control of Taker and Kane but of Hunter and Chyna." JR said. "After all its Kane and Taker's match here."
There you go Chyna. Kane thought tossing her unceremoniously out of the ring and down to the mats below.
He's gone too. Kane thought seeing Hunter fly out on the other side.
What? Kane thought when he backed into someone.
Spinning around with his hands ready to grab he saw Taker.
Kane nodded at his brother then turned to face the Outlaws.
"Looks like this match will continue." JR said. "The Outlaws are back on the apron and Jessie is entering the ring."
"Well it's about time." King said. "Kane and Taker should have been disqualified for stopping the match."
"It was Hunter and Chyna that stopped the match." JR said sounding shocked by King's words.
I got him. Taker thought indicating that Kane should go back to the apron.
He's all yours Taker. Kane thought moving to the corner.
Jessie and Taker locked up feeling each other out.
He's winded Jessie thought seeing taker breathing hard. Must have hit that chair pretty hard.
I've got him. Taker thought, pushing the other man toward a neutral corner.
Now. Jessie thought dropping to his knees and picking Taker's leg in the process.
Losing his balance Taker hit the mat hard with his back knocking the breath out of him.
Get up Taker. J.J. thought moving for a better angle.
I can't believe he managed that. Taker thought when his back hit hard.
Jessie knelt above Taker beginning to rain blows down on his head and chest.
GET off. Taker thought shoving the smaller man off him and across the ring several feet.
Tag me. Kane thought putting his hand out to receive it.
My turn. He thought entering the ring after getting the tag.
I have to get out of here. Jessie thought seeing Taker tag in Kane.
Scrambling across the ring Jessie made a diving tag seconds before Kane could reach him.
This should take him down. Billy thought going for a flying press only to be caught in midair and slammed to the mat below.
Shit that hurt. Billy thought suddenly finding himself in more trouble than he expected.
"Kane's got the small package." JR shouted.
One thud
Two thud
Three thud.
"I can't believe it Kane won with a small package." JR shouted.
"He had Billy's tights." King yelled to the ref.
"No he didn't." JR said to King.
"You're blind JR." King replied.
"Now Vince has to give them a title match." JR said. "They just beat the reigning champions."
*Kane/Taker*
"And your winners Kane and the Undertaker." The ref yelled as he raised their hands in victory.
"A small package." Taker said to Kane as they exited the ring.
"Seemed like a good idea at the time." Kane said smiling at his brother.
"You are really surprising me lately." Taker said smiling back and pounding his brother's back.
*J.J.*
I can't believe he used a small package. He's never used that before. But then he's been doing that a lot lately. J.J. thought as she got ready to shoot the next match.
*Kane/Taker*
"So tell me little brother. Since when do you do small packages, camel clutches and the other moves you've been pulling lately." Taker said when they were back in the locker room they now shared.
"I've been watching." Kane said.
"And learning obviously." Taker said.
"Yes and learning. It's good to surprise people every once in a while. Make it hard to scout." Kane said smiling at his brother.
"That it does little brother." Taker said.
I'll have to remember this if I ever face him again. Taker thought. Knowing Vince that will be sooner rather than later.
*Taker/Sammy*
I get to call her tonight. Taker thought looking forward to hearing Sammy's voice. I'll take J.J.'s advice and try to make her see I like to hear her stories.
I'll just order room service it will be faster than going out then I can spend more time on the phone with her.
That was a great match. Sammy thought turning off the TV. But now he's gonna call and I don't know what to say to him.
We've talked about sports, movies and books. What else can I ask him without prying? She wondered hoping he'd do most of the talking tonight.
The ringing phone startled her and she jumped.
Here we go. She thought reaching for the phone.
"Hey Mark." She answered trying to sound as normal as possible.
I don't want him to think I'm nervous. She thought.
"Hi Sammy." Taker said wondering how to start the conversation he obviously needed to have with her.
"That was a great match." Sammy said.
"I'm glad you liked it." Taker said.
"Why does that Hunter guy keep interrupting your matches?" Sammy asked.
"Because he doesn't want us to win. But now that we've beaten the tag team champions Vince won't have a choice about signing a match for the title." Taker said.
"Yeah the announcers said that. Speaking of which that King guy is a real ass." Sammy said laughing a little.
I like her laugh. Taker thought. Hoping he could make her laugh some more.
"Did you know Kane broke his jaw." Taker said laughing.
"NO he didn't." Sammy said laughing as well.
"Yeah he did. In two places." Taker said.
"When did he do that? King seems fine now." Sammy said.
"It was right after he and J.J. split up. I guess he was tired of the guy bad mouthing him so he let him have it." Taker said.
"Kane and J.J. split up? They seem like the perfect couple." Sammy said.
I've got to tell her about that or she'll hear it somewhere else. Taker thought taking a deep breath and sighing.
"It was my fault." Taker said.
"How?" Sammy asked.
"It's a long story." Taker said trying to put off the inevitable.
"If you don't want to talk about it that's fine." Sammy said, hearing the reluctance in his voice.
"No you should hear it from me not someone else." Taker said.
"Ok."
"It was back in my ministry days. I wanted Kane in the ministry badly. I was sure if he was we would run the company." Taker began.
"I was sure J.J. was making Kane weak. So I drove them apart. I gave him information on J.J. that I knew he couldn't forgive and did other things too." Taker continued.
"It worked. He joined the ministry." Taker said.
"oh." Sammy said.
"They were apart about a year." Taker said. "Then he found out what I did. He beat the hell out of me. He took off but there was an accident."
"Oh no." Sammy said.
"It turned out to be a good thing sort of." Taker said. "Before the accident he could only talk with and artificial voice box."
"That had to be hard." Sammy said. "Why couldn't he speak?"
"Yeah it must have been." Taker said realizing for the first time that Kane hadn't been able to speak at all before DX. "His throat had apparently been damaged in the fire Paul started."
The one I blamed myself for all those years. Take thought.
"So he grew up not being able to speak?" Sammy said.
"Yes he didn't speak until after he joined DX."
"You mean he used to be friends with that Hunter guy?" Sammy said very confused.
"I don't know if friends were the right word." Taker said.
"Anyway after the accident J.J. went to stay at the hospital with him. He was out for a long time. But when he woke up she took off. Then one day he took off into the audience and grabbed some woman. Turned out to be J.J." Taker said. "They've been back together ever since."
"I don't understand what did the accident have to do with him being able to speak." Sammy asked.
"According to J.J. he hit his neck on something and they had to do surgery so while they were in there they cleaned up the scar tissue." Taker explained. "By the time he and J.J. got back together he was able to speak but it sounded painful. It's gotten better since."
"Wow," Sammy said.
"Sammy I need to talk to you about something but I don't know how to start." Taker said after a few minutes of silence.
Here it comes. Sammy thought.
