Chapter 10- What was I on? Kane

My head was killing me, slowly my eyes opened. I felt someone… cuddling me like a teddy bear, turning to the side it was Cena! What the hell! I soon realized I was in a hotel room, lying in the bed. "Awkward" I whispered to myself. I removed John's arm from me, as I sat up. All about were the guys. Taker and Sara were asleep on the floor as Taker held a beer bottle in hand. Batista was out like a light on the other side. I got up and tried to avoid waking the others to go to the bathroom… only to find Rob sleeping in the tub. "What the hell happened?" I asked myself, my head pounded as it tried to recall what was going on. I had the strangest dream, and I couldn't for the life of me remember what had happened in it! It felt so real, and yet… did it really occur? The guys were slowly getting up.

"Oh my head" Dave moaned as he got off the ground. He looked about. "Huh? Why am I on the floor?" he asked, looking to his hand he saw a controller. "Was I playing video games?" he asked. I couldn't answer him.

"Dude, I think I got so hammered" Cena moaned.

"I'm in a bath tub," Rob stated plainly as he tried to get himself out.

Taker started to stir himself; he opened his eyes seeing the beer bottle in one hand. And holding Sara in the other, Sara woke up too. Realizing she was in her husband's embrace.

"When did you get home?" she asked in a confused tone.

"Uh… We're in a hotel darlin'" Taker replied. He then saw a controller in his lap. "Dear God don't tell me you got me to play video games!" he yelled out to me.

I saw the system there, and Mortal Kombat games, movies and the TV show DVDs scattered all about. Wait… Mortal Kombat… why does that… wait… I was so confused.

"I don't remember watching any of those or playing the games" I said to everyone.

"Yeah, and how I got the floor instead of the bed in beyond me," Batista stated.

"I thought Sara and Taker would have slept in the bath tub," Rob stated as he came into the room fully.

"You were in the bath tub?" Cena laughed.

I decided that we all needed some water and ice. I just needed to get some ice.

Grabbing the hotel bucket I left the room and went to the ice machine. There was a farmiller man standing before me. Long white hair and he wasn't really that old looking to have it. He turned around and nearly jumped for him skin when he saw me. "Whoa, sorry" I said backing up.

He smiled. "Oh it's ok. I need a good scare every so often" he replied in a raspy voice. "You're Kane aren't you? The wrestler?"

I nodded to him; the guy said that we met at that autograph session. I remembered him now, he had a straw hat on that day… but why do I feel like I know more about him. "Have we met anywhere else? You look really farmiller to me," I said.

He shook his head. "No… Oh… what a lovely necklace!" He stated, I looked down, seeing an odd looking amulet or something around my neck.

"I don't know where that came from," I muttered.

"Oh it looks valuable. I would keep it. I think I saw a young lady give that to you" he said. I tried to remember but shrugged it off. He said good-bye to me as I got my ice. Heading back to the hotel room, my mind still itched… I knew that guy! I came back to my hotel room; the guys and gal were up and about.

"Canadian beer? Who the hell brought Canadian beer?" Taker asked aloud to the bottles on the floor. "I don't even remember drinking!"

"I had the strangest dream though…" John stated as he sat up in bed. "I dreamed I was a silver dragon. Fangs and all… you were there!" he said pointing to me. "And you, and you and you… you all were there!"

"Weird… I had the same one. And I dreamed some big ass lizard was sucking my soul out. And I heard Kane's voice calling me…" Dave replied. He turned around and looked at my nightstand. "You getting ready for Halloween early?" he asked.

"No… why?"

Dave showed me this yellow mask; it was high quality and everything. Yet… I don't remember getting it. "It looks like Scorpion's" Taker stated aloud. We all looked at him oddly. "WHAT?" he asked.

"How do you know that would be Scorpion's?" Rob asked.

Taker looked to Sara and pointed to her. "She tells me stuff all the time about Mortal Kombat… it's your favorite game!" he stated.

"I don't play that and you know it! Beside, I don't even know why the hell I'm here!"

"Ok settle people!" I called aloud putting the ice down. "Look I think we all may have had too much to drink last night…"

"Yeah, let's just say you never saw me here… ok?" Taker asked. He doesn't play video games that I know. Yet why was he in my Hotel room, with his wife? Taker took his leave with Sara. Rob left as well, Dave followed and John left last. He spotted something on the ground. "Hey, can I have these?" he held up these large cone things… I swear they look like horns!

"Whatever" I replied. He smirked as he walked out. I got things cleaned up when I found an old wrestling mask of mine… oddly enough it was black, black as a night sky.

"Weird, I don't remember having a completely black mask" I muttered to myself. I packed it away; I quickly packed the DVDs and games. I didn't want to play those for a long time. Something about them made me sick to my stomach. When I got the room cleaned up, I swear I felt like someone was watching me… Looking out the window, I gazed out towards the city, looking up. I saw nothing more than the hotel and business tower across the street. "Damn" I muttered, as I closed the curtains, never again am I drinking Canadian beer!

Meanwhile…

Looking down from the roof of the office building was a young man; he had short brown hair and eyes as he gazed to Kane's window. Smiling with delight as he felt the side of his face as if it were his fist time doing so. "Are you impressed?" came a farmiller raspy voice. The man turned around and smiles. "Ah, white suits you much better you know that?"

"Raiden. How did you know he could do it?"

The Thunder god shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't have the foggiest" he replied with a grin.

The young man looked back. "Is it wise to erase their memories? What about Shao Kahn? He has returned and come out of hiding now since Onaga's death!"

Raiden wasn't concerned. "Shao will come, that I know of. But dealing with the true dragon King… Kahn was the one the Dragon King was battling before his death. The Dragon King was going to destroy him, had Onaga not caused the wounds"

The young man looked intrigued. "Really?"

Raiden nodded. "When the King attacked. Onaga sent the spear that pierced the King's scales cursed with dark dragon magic. Only he could have had such strength. My brother maybe a god, yet he couldn't break the skin of the dragon. Onaga could for he was a dragon. Very complicated"

The man nodded as he turned to Raiden once more. "Are you sure I won't be needed?" he asked.

The thunder god smiled. "Glen had said so, and you were the one in debt to him. Not I, rest Scorpion. You journey is over"

Scorpion, now at comfort with what has happened to him and his family was avenged, vanished before the Thunder god's eyes.

Raiden looked skyward and smiled. "So Kahn, you wish to try your luck once more… Oh, it shall be interesting to see what becomes of this" Raiden grinned as he vanished in a bolt of lightning…

The End for now!
