Chapter 2 The truth- Triple H

I know what you're all thinking. He got to where he is by sleeping with the bosses daughter and kissing his ass. If you really knew me, you would know me much better than that. McMahon was against Stephanie and I going out. He separated us to test and see if we were really in love. You know something; I truly love Stephanie with all my heart. If you don't believe me ask the Undertaker. He was the one I went to for advice on this, and he told me 'you can't help who you fall in love with' that's true, and I didn't resist… now, on to Kane.

There was a look in his eyes that I have never seen before; I've been concerned about him for the past few weeks. We were leaving the hotel room when I noticed these large gashes on his arm. I asked him about them, and he said. "The ice machine gave me a hard time"

Yeah, as if I would believe he would be up an ice machine and the machine kicks his ass! I brought it for now, but the look in his eyes… Let me be serious here. Glen… Kane… is a fantastic guy. I work with him and greatly respect him. Normally he's easy going, and laughing a lot. Now a day, it's like his smile was taken away. Everyone notice it, I hope he knows that.

I went to his locker room and knocked on the door. "GO AWAY!" he would yell.

"Glen, open up, we got to talk!" I called back, making the matter more serious by using his real name. There was a moment of silence. "If you want, I'll get Vince and he can talk things over with you!" The door unlocked, Kane opened it just a creak. I could see his eye through the door.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Can I come in, we will talk in private ok?"

Kane closed the door, and then opened it widely. I came in, instantly he closed the door shut and locked it once more. We walked father into the room where he sat. "So talk" he growled.

"You're scaring me," I stated bluntly. "What happened to you, and I know that Quan freak had something to do with it"

Kane sighed as he told me his tale about him, Cena, Rob, Taker, Sara, Batista and a kid getting sent on a mission to another realm. There the guy named Quan Chi took the form of a warrior, he led them into a trap and nearly got them all killed at least twice.

"There was this damn look in his eyes as he stared at me… seeing something deep within me, I didn't like it." Kane stated. He looked at me with fear in his eyes. "He saw something"

His look started to scare even me. "How can we stop him? I won't have him come after my best friends!" I asked.

Kane shook his head no. "We can't stop you, you saw what happened to Cena! Even with scales, Quan Chi has Physical powers as well as dark magic. We can't stop him…"

"You could though, that fire you summoned!" I stated.

Again he shook his head. "He wanted to see that… that was what he saw in me… the fire!"

This was getting weird, like something out of a bad movie. "What did he mean by apprentice?" I asked of him.

Kane was just as confused as I was about it. "Did he direct that towards me?"

I nodded to him. Somehow I don't think I was making thing better.

"Why is this happening?" he whispered to himself.

My mind then clicked. "Rayden! Can't you summon Rayden?" I asked him.

The only smirk I have seen come across Kane's face in ages made a very brief appearance on his lips, yet it soon faded. "He knew Quan Chi was setting us up! I wouldn't turn to him for help, not now. I will fight my own battle"

I wasn't like this one bit. Glen was disappearing before me, as Kane became more and more dominate. "I will end this" he seethed.

"Glen, please. What else can we do to help?" I asked of him. He turned to me slowly, sneering at me. "You can let me fight my own battle" He got off the bench and went towards the door, turning the hinge and opening it wide. "I'm asking you to leave now Hunter, I got much to think about"

I wasn't going to fight him; I walked out and went down the hall. This was getting serious. Quickly I went to the locker room and into my bag, pulling out my cell phone. The one man who can help me now was on my speed dial.

"Hello?"

"Taker, it's Hunter. I need your help. And please hurry, it's Kane"

Taker was silence as I could hear him take a deep breath. "Quan Chi huh?" he asked.

"You watched Raw?"

"No, I just felt it. I'll be there as soon as I can" there was a dead tone when he finished, hanging up before saying good-bye. But it anyone can reach Kane, it would be the Deadman.

I had an idea for the moment; I went to Hurricane's locker room. He looked at me oddly. "Hunter?" he asked.

"No time, tell me what do you know about Mortal Kombat?" I asked of him.

Hurricane told me he's played most of the games and saw the first episode when it came on TV Mortal Kombat Konquest. I saw Snitsky in the room with him, he too knew a little bit about Mortal Kombat. "I want you both to start playing the games that have Quan Chi in them, rent ever dame episode of the TV show and watch them. I want everything on this bastard, and bring them to my locker room"

"Why?" Snitsky asked.

"I'm the cerebral assassin. I need to know what the hell we are up against" With that spoken, I knew I had to tell Vince things were going to get stranger than normal around here.
