Chapter 4- the Confession.
Rayden sat in the crowd rather impressed to the match. "Wow, that was more interesting then I thought. And who knew someone that did this for a living could have a dragon as his or her inner beast? Oh well. Might as well go and explain" he sighed as he got up from his seat. Rayden quickly fabricated a backstage pass and got into the locker room.
In the boiler room.
John walked in without fear; he could hear a nervous breathing creature. "Kane? You in here?" he called out.
"Go away" Kane growled back.
John crossed his arms. "Just because the outside changed man, doesn't mean the inside is!" Cena shot back. Kane came from the shadows, he stood over eight feet tall. "There you go."
"Why did this happen? How? I mean… I am so confused" Kane said in a concern tone.
John nodded. "I know bro. But hey it's not all that bad. You made Chris Masters wet his gear! That's gold in my books!"
Kane laughed at Cena remark, but something was wrong. Kane looked down at John. "It's happening to you too! I can see it!" he said.
John looked at him oddly. "I'm changing too huh? Can you see into what?"
Kane looked in Cena's eyes. "Like me, you're a… well… I don't even know what the hell I am!"
"Dragon" came the farmiller voice. Kane and John looked to see the man with the white hair. "I must say I'm shocked you are one, only those of honor and hearts can obtain a creature like that!"
"YOU! You're the reason this all happened!" Kane roared, he leaped over Cena and stood before the man in white. He showed no fear to Kane. "Who the hell do you think you are?" Kane growled.
"Your guardian of the earth, and your Thunder God, Rayden"
Kane stared down at him. "Oh, yeah and I'm the freaking lockness monster!"
"Uh, bro… you almost are. I wouldn't be saying that" Cena corrected him.
Rayden laughed, yet when Kane stared at him, he stopped. "Sorry"
"How long will it take before I become normal again?" Kane asked.
Rayden thought about it. "Until everyone else as discovered his or her own. I may take a while"
The idea of it taking a while wasn't good in Kane's mind, he was the first to change. His mind was screaming 'I'm a damn freak of nature!' Steam was snorted out of Kane's nose, which caught his attention.
"Oooo you got fire in you!" Rayden grinned with pleasure.
"That's it, I am waiting in this boiler room until it's all over and done with!" Kane announced as he went back to the corner.
"Oh come on man! It's not all that bad. Hey! Who ever gets turned into a tiger we will call them Tony! You know, frosted flakes… come on!" Cena said with a grin. Kane snorted to the idea. "Uh ok then… Who's gonna help me? You said so yourself I got a dragon too. I need someone to show me the ropes, you can!"
"If it will make you feel any better Kane, you can shrink yourself to your normal height" Rayden stated. His eyes flashed a streak of lightning; Kane felt his body go back to normal height. Making him feel somewhat better. But he still felt like a freak. "Kane come with me, I will explain this to everyone in your workplace" Rayden called.
"Ah what the hell, they've seen me transform" Kane sighed as he got himself off the ground; he followed Rayden out the door.
Cena was in quick pursuit. They walked through the halls. Kane had covered himself with his wings as the others looked on and stared. Yet their curious nature brought them to follow. The whispers started until little did they know, Rayden led them to the main meeting room. Everyone was there, even Mr. McMahon.
"Ok, who's the first one that wants to tell me what in God's name is going on!" McMahon yelled out. His face was already beet red as his attention turned to Kane. "Kane, you want to open the floor?" Vince asked.
"With all due respect Mr. McMahon, had I known this would have happened to me in the middle of the ring… I wouldn't have gone out and done the match with Masters"
"It's all my fault Vince, I was curious" Rayden called out.
All eyes turned to him. "And you are?" Eric questioned.
"Rayden, Thunder God, Protector of Earth Realm"
The room erupted into laughter. No one would stop so Kane made them.
"SHUT UP!" came the unearthly roar from the dragon. The room became dead silent.
"Thank you Kane. I am Rayden, thunder god and I shall prove it" Rayden unleashed a bolt of lighting from his palm, striking everyone in the room. The bolt didn't harm anyone; it made them feel tingly all over though. "There, now it's just a matter of time"
All of the superstars looked confused. "Matter of time before what?" Jericho asked.
"Before you find your inner… Inner… Ah… ah… AH COO!" Cena let out a huge sneeze, strangely enough, forced the wings to come out from his back. "Cool" he smirked when he saw the silver tint to them.
"You can't do this! I have a business to run! What will the crowd think?" McMahon demanded of Rayden.
"Oh they won't know any better. After all, they all thing it's a part of the show, besides I guarantee you it will make it more interesting" Rayden gave a small wink to him.
Everyone started to feel the effects of Rayden's lighting. Triple H looked woozy. "If I become something with fur, someone make sure I don't naw on my own ass!" he requested.
"Oh come on! That would be funny to watch!" Snitsky called out, all eyes stared at him oddly. "WHAT?" he asked aloud.
Rayden smiled. "Now if you'll excuse me, no doubt you have a very worried Undertaker in California" Rayden vanished in the bolt of lightning.
The room was abuzz "So this is for real?" whispered Hurricane.
"Yeah… I guess so, I mean look at Kane!" replied Ric Flair. Just as a huge growl was heard, all eyes came to Kane.
"Oh… sorry, that's my stomach"
"Dude, what I want to know. It are you wearing anything under there?" RVD asked. Kane nodded.
"You would be surprised to how well spandex stretches"
Vince took the stage and looked at everyone. "So… this whole thing is about to become a three ring circus…" he sighed aloud.
"Well, it can't be all THAT bad can it?" Chris Jericho questioned. "I mean, can it?"
Everyone had a wait and see attitude towards the whole thing, who knows. Perhaps this could make things more interesting.
In California.
"Mark! Come on out! We need to talk" Teddy Long called out to the Undertaker's locker room.
"I said go away!"
"Deadman, I just got off the phone with Vince. I know what's wrong brother. Kane's going through the same thing, well he's a seven foot dragon" Long explained through the door.
There was silence, but the sound of the knob turning prompted Long to step back. The Undertaker walked out.
His horns were long and black; his skin had become dark, enriching purple scales. His wings were long and powerful as was his tail. "Kane… is like me too?" Taker asked.
Long nodded "Holla on that, McMahon said it's the work of a Thunder God name Rayden. I think Vince needs a holiday"
Taker snarled at him. "Don't jump to conclusions, I mean look at me!" he snapped back. Taker growled to himself, wondering why this was happening. JBL walked up to Teddy Long, yet his eyes quickly went to Taker.
"What in God's name is that?"
Taker snapped at JBL. "You're opponent!" he shot back. Taker stormed back into his locker room, slamming the door shut.
Bradshaw looked to Long. "What happened to him?" he asked.
"Well, according to McMahon, you'll know soon enough!"
