Chapter 4- Home, for perhaps the last time- Batista.

Kane dropped me off in front of my house, I never really stopped and looked at it the way I do. But something told me to cherish the sight, walking to the door. Slowly opening it, I peeked my head in.

"Dave?" My wife called aloud. She was in the kitchen.

I went to her, the moment my eyes came on her face. I pulled her into my arms. "Dave? What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing… nothing… God… do you know how much I love you?" I told her with tears in my eyes.

She looked worried, as she stared at me. "Dave did you do something wrong at work?" she asked. I pulled out of her embrace, clearing the tears from my eyes.

"No… it's not that." I whispered. Taking a deep breath, I looked away. Only to bring myself to gaze into her eyes once more. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you"

She gave me the 'Oh, try me' look.

"I think you and I need to sit down" Bringing her to the living room, I told her everything, The Shokans, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Raiden and last but not least Onaga. "Onaga is going to come after me, so I chose to fight him… for Earth. If we win, we won't have to worry about him. If we lose… I'll be killed"

She shook her head at me. "What the hell is McMahon coming up with this stupid storyline? Dave, tell him you won't do it!" She stated firmly.

"It's not a storyline! Watch" I transformed before her very eyes into a dragon. She gasped in shock, not really believing what she was seeing. Yet when her hands touched my wings, she knew… she knew then and there that this was real.

"Oh my God"

"I was given the week off… incase… incase I don't come back" I told her.

She started to cry as she embraced me tightly, not wanting to let go. "Why must you do this? Why you?"

"It's not just me..." I corrected her. I gave her that story about the others. Taker, his wife Sara, Kane, Rob, John and a twenty-year-old kid who got caught up in all this. "We have to, if not this bastard will come. He will make hell on earth and there's nothing anyone can do about it… I rather die to save you and our family them let him come here… and bring harm to everyone I hold dear"

I brought my wings around her, comforting her as much as I could. "It's the only way is it?" she asked.

"Yes"

"Then promise me… you will come back when this is all over? Please, don't be a hero?" she begged.

A smile came over my face. "I will try, and know this. WHEN we win, I will come back. No matter what"

Elsewhere

Onaga gained his strength by consuming souls. Not in the same sense as Shang Tsung, but litterly he consumed them as a meal. He was cleaver in taking those of people who aren't paid attention to in the media; people of poverty in third world countries, the poor, sick, dying and homeless. His strength grew with every new person he consumed, and it would only grow stronger. His appearance in the media has since died for no one found evidence of him, and the girl who was kidnapped appeared back home. It delighted him greatly. "They will not know what struck them," he laughed as he finished off a group in Africa; he took off into the night seeking more victims.
