Chapter 9- The One true King- Kane

I knew I could do this, the soul of John Cena didn't fuel my powers at all, it fueled my will to survive. He gave me hope and courage to fight. I made another bold attempt getting near the king. My hands were nowhere near his wound yet John's hand reached out. "BATISTA!" I called out. John would grab onto something, and I would pull back in time. He got Dave's soul! And the same thing happened. Dave went into my body rather than going back to his own.

"YOU THIEF! You are no better than me, taking souls when already stolen!" Onaga hissed in rage at me.

No, I'm not like him or that damn sorcerer. "I didn't take them from their bodies, I'm taking them from their captor!" I shot back. Each attempt I went in, hold off Onaga, only to see John and Batista reach into his wound and grab who ever I call. "SARA, MARK!" I yelled out. They however forced Rob and Shannon out first before they were to be saved. Onaga was weakening greatly, and I felt so much stronger. The beast roared at me, as be breathed fire, it didn't affect me at all. Yet he got into my head.

"If you were able to do this in the first place, why did you let me take the souls of your friends?" he asked of me.

His words were true. "I… I didn't know I could do this"

Onaga laughed. "Every sorcerer knows his power, and yet you. You shunned it, not wanting to learn of such strength… Wouldn't your friends be upset with you for letting them suffer such a faith?" he asked.

I could feel the souls of my friends all telling me, 'don't listen to him. He is just messing with you!'

I growled in anger. "You have no idea how much I care for them and my family… You will never know such feeling!" I ran at him once more, for the last time I would get Sara and Mark out of him. Yet something when horribly wrong during my last attempt, he caught me with both hands as I tried to avoid his tail. He lashed it at me. When I dodged he snatched me off the ground, and held me tightly in his grasp.

"Why take them when I am just going to take them all back from you?" he laughed. I was forced to use Shang's power once more. I pelted the power into his arms and pulled them out the hard way. I felt the others reaching into Onaga's flesh and grabbing them. "You can try and get them… but you have no were to move!" he smirked.

Damn him, he was right. I needed to kick off of Onaga to pull out my friends… I had nowhere to move! Yet when I saw John grab Sara's arm and Dave gave Taker's, there was still hope! It took every last ounce of whatever power I had, but I saw them come through his flesh, holding on for dear life to whoever pulled them out. Sara's face was seen through his arm, as was Taker's. The pure will of their souls was pulling them.

"You know what… go ahead!" Onaga smirked; he released them into my body! I felt them all… I had my friends… yet… now what?

Onaga started to crush me. I couldn't breath. My bones were getting to the breaking point as he kept his tight grasp on me.

"I will take your soul first, then your friends out of your body… Oh I have waited thousands of years for this!" I watched his eyes gaze down at my stomach, the Amulet that was on my flesh. "Just as I take back what's mine!" He dug this thumbs into my stomach. That hurt like hell! Yet something happened that he didn't expect, and quiet frankly neither did I. As my blood poured from the wound, the image on my stomach glowed. It thrusted me from his grasp as light came from the image! I know it sounds crazy, but I swear that's what I remembered seeing. I landed hard on the ground, and couldn't move well. Onaga grew even more furious as he charged me. Holding his fists together he yelled. "I will be satisfied to watch your skull get crushed under my fists!" My vision was going and I could hardly move.

I did see something step forward, he yelled. "Say Cheese Jackass!" And blinded Onaga! The beast staggered about blindly only to be caught by someone strong and powerful. I could feel the ground shake and rumble as he was thrown like a rag doll. "Glen? You ok? It's me John!" he called. My eyes started to focus once more. It was John!

"Cena… how… I mean…" I was lost for words.

"Hey take it easy, you helped us, now we're going to take care of Onaga together bro. Come on, to your feet!" he called as he let me a hand. My ribs ached and my blood had just stopped gushing from the wound. I didn't think my eyes fully adjusted for I saw Sara holding onto Onaga's tail and throwing him from side to side, as you would see in a cartoon!

SLAM he would crash to one side only to be flipped over once more and SLAM, crashing down to the other. Sara was screaming at him. "You… Lousy… Son… of… a… BITCH!" she roared. She stopped when she had enough; Onaga… was starting to bleed all over. I watched Taker alter the sands into druid like warriors, that all attacked Onaga at once… of course… black sand. Black is part of darkness.

I shook my head clear, seeing we were getting company soon. "Heads up guys! We're not alone!" I called out. John smirked.

"Look up man" he said. My eyes gazed skyward, I could make out one person flying above… Rob was up there. Second… second could be Dave or Shannon. I learned it was the girl as she dove to the ground with a force. The foundation cracked from where she landed. Dave took over. Planting one foot on either side of the broken ground. He unleashed a howl, none that I have ever heard and separated the earth just by moving his legs! John left my side and stood before the on coming force. Bringing his fists together he unleashed a blinding flash to the minions of Onaga. The gap in the ground grew bigger the more Dave forced it to, was so large they fell right in blindly!

I then turned to Rob, as Onaga was distracted, he dove downward onto his back, somehow slicing the wings from his back… Onaga was wingless! He roared in pain as Taker stopped with the sandmen.

"Rob, get one!" he called out as he and Van Dam took the severed limbs.

"NO! YOU CANNOT DO THIS!" Onaga screamed as Taker and Rob brought the massive limbs to me. They dipped it into the pool of my blood, and nodded to one another.

"These… these are yours" Rob said as he and Taker pressed them into my back. Oh God it burned! I couldn't feel my legs!

"NO!" Onaga screamed as he tried to stop them. Sara came from nowhere and knocked him to the ground with authority! The aching soon vanished from my back, as the wings they put on began to change to the color of my scales. Dave, Shannon, Sara and Cena stood by me. As I came to my feet, my mind began to flood with memories… memories of the true Dragon King.

I saw the true King, and Onaga. The king… looked a lot like me; he was respected and never killed out of rage or just for the pure hell of it. Onaga saw the power the king had and craved it as his own. He set out to steal the King's power, by casting a spell into the amulet… the one I swallowed. He took the dark portion of dragon Magic, and cut off a set of the King's wings for himself when the King was battling a dark force. He was weakened and left in a room alone to recover. Onaga… the snake took what didn't belong to him.

I felt power that I never knew existed, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi would kill for a taste of what I have right now. Their fail to compare to this sensation, I could smell the fear on Onaga; he trembled before me… for the first time in his life.

"You tried to kill my friends. You DARE take what doesn't belong to you, and you dishonor the name dragon and Dragon King!" I roared.

"No… Mercy please!" he begged, he wasn't a threat without his wings. He fell to his knees, yet I could sense in that mind of his what he was going to do. He planned on pledging his loyalty to me and then tear out my heart when I least expected it. Oh, the fool he is. I stormed up to him, clenching the dirt in between my talons. He bowed his head to me, showing submission… Oh… I will give him something to submit to.

I grabbed hold of his horns. "You killed so many people… and dared to try and take away my home you bastard…" I brought by knee up into his jaw. Shattering it instantly, for once, it gave me satisfaction. He couldn't talk anymore… and that was just a start. "You took the souls of my friends, you ate them like they were a lower form of life!" I brought my knee up again. Breaking more of his jaw. I saw his hands and feet were held down into the ground. Not doubt Batista's work, he had power over the earth. As a final insult I tore the horns from his head! He tried to fight and resist, yet couldn't. His strength was gone from this point on.

The others started to circle around him as I stepped back. "You are not worthy of any mercy! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!" I roared at him. I felt power surging through the others, as I summoned my own, at the same moment we thrusted the blast into Onaga. His body was torn limb from limb and scattered to ashes, we stayed and made sure he was dead and no part of him could ever return. Dave spat on the ashes; Cena kicked them about the Outworld dirt. He saw the minions still gather as they watched in horror that their master was now dead.

Cena turned and roared at them. "WANT SOME!" The creatures weren't as dumb as I thought, many left as others remained. Not wanting to fight though, just staring at us blankly.

I looked to my friends. "Forgive me?" I asked of them. Sara had this odd look on her face, as did the others. "I let you down… I let him take your souls…" I began to explain till Taker put his hand over my mouth.

"Shut your yap, before I shut it for you!" he said plain and simple. "You had no choice, hell none of us knew what the hell we were doing. But it didn't matter. With what you did… you did know what you did right?" he asked me.

I shook my head no. "Ok, when you took our souls back, we went through the amulet after Onaga cut you open, we gained the powers of the dragons. The dragons that were reincarnated in us got their powers back… We got their powers," he explained.

"Dudes, I don't know about you. But I want to get the hell out of here!" John stated.

"Yeah. Me too" Dave replied.

Looking to my hands, I realized I still had Onaga's horns. "Anyone want these?" I asked.

Sara took them. "I got an idea for these!" she grinned as we went through the portal. There was an odd white flash… when everything became black…
