Chapter 7- Kids these days- Undertaker.

"Hey, you seen Kane?" I asked the guys in the lobby. The lot of them had told he went upstairs to talk to Orton. So I decided to go up and see for myself. Well I found Orton in the hallway; he looked rather shocked and upset. "Randy? You ok?" I asked him.

He shook his head no and told me about the mask he found in Kane's bag, Scorpion's. He was transported to a strange place that reeked of sulfur and said there was a large man there that threatened him. "He called me Scorpion, telling me to kill the Dragon King. If not he will suck out my soul and feed it to the worms or something… Kane told me it was real! Yet every time I put that damn mask on… I feel a lot stronger, yet the damn armor… I can't even walk in… was I dream it?" he asked me.

I blinked a few time at him. "You became Scorpion?" I asked of him.

He nodded. "Yeah… don't believe me?" he demanded. I noticed in the hall was Scorpion's mask. Randy had this determined look on his face. "I guess Kane dropped it. Here, I'll show you!" he placed the mouth piece on and I watched as his little costume turned into the armor of the ninja… and watched Randy lose his balance and fall flat on his ass. He couldn't get himself off the ground no matter how hard he tried.

"Damn it! Why is this so damn heavy!" he roared at me.

I could see the power come from the mask… that was the source. "Well, I suppose the mask allows the wearer to gain the powers of him. Yet why would it allow you?" I wondered.

"Help me up Deadman!" he yelled at me.

"Where's Kane Orton?" I shot back.

"He's on the roof… now help me up!"

"Stick around, I'll be back for you… unless someone see you first. Don't go anywhere," I told him. I walked past Orton, not knowing he extended his right hand out to me.

"TAKER COME BACK HERE!" he yelled, I felt something wrap around my foot. I fell hard into the ground and was dragged back. Turning it was Orton… who just used Scorpion's harpoon for the first time.

"Holy crap!" he yelled aloud to me.

I turned myself over, and untangled the harpoon from around my feet. "Do that again, and that won't be coming out of your hand next time!" I warned him as I went to the rooftop.

I saw Kane sitting there in his dragon form talking to a strange scaly fella. "What the hell is that?" I asked aloud. Kane turned to wave me over.

"He's cool, it's Reptile… well… one of them," He explained.

I went over to them, the guy was ok I guess. He didn't try to attack me or anything. "Can you help us?" the creature asked.

Kane had a semi worried look on his face. "When Shao Kahn appears. I got no choice but to fight him!"

"Whoa, time out. Shao Kahn is coming here!" I demanded of him.

Kane told me some ass forgot to close the portal after cleaning our memories. Raiden… I sat next to Kane, wondering what we could do about this. "You think you can handle him?" I asked.

"Oh I know, but in the mean time, he's gonna send minions!" Kane shot back.

Reptile nodded. "He has the Centaurs at his command, the Shokans refused to battle at his side due to their cousin living in Earth Realm" Reptile spoke.

"Yeah that's us" I told him.

Reptile looked worried. "I will be killed for this"

Kane looked like he had an idea. "Well… I think I can find a good use for you here" he said with a smirk. You could see the look in the warrior's eyes light up.

"As what? He's a lizard!" I demanded.

Kane smirked. "We do need some good security… you can go invisible and make sure we don't have crazy fans jumping into the ring. I know it's not as glorious as being a warrior… but it's something that doesn't involve Shao Kahn. What do you say? The only request I have is no killing and not beating them up badly"

Reptile's eyes didn't change abit. "I accept!" he said.

"Good. I think you'll be a blast at the costume party… come as you are" I smirked.

Reptile took both our hands and shook them furiously; he bowed and kept thinking us. "Yeah, yeah. Now I got to go back and help Orton off the ground" I stated aloud.

"Master Undertaker!" Reptile called to me. Man, that was awkward. "Be warned, the Centaurs that come they have minions as well called Minotaus. They are fierce warriors and very hard to kill" he called.

I nodded to the information and decided to go back inside. I ran into Dave who was helping Orton off the ground. "What the hell did you make this out of?" Dave would yell.

"Just shut up!" Orton spat back. I walked up to the both of them, and ripped the mask off of Orton's face. He and Dave nearly went flying from that, rather funny at the time.

"What the hell did you just do?" Batista yelled.

I decided that I had to tell Dave the truth. I tossed Orton back his mask and brought Dave to my room. "What's going on Deadman?" he demanded.

"Dave… I want you to think back a few months ago… when we were in Kane's hotel room… you want to know why we were all there?" I asked him. He wanted to know. So before him I changed into a dragon, he nearly freaked out until I began to look farmiller to him. He touched my wings and feel his own arm.

"Scales… I had scales like you!" he said. Dave closed his eyes, I saw him starting to change and transform into his dragon form. He liked it. His brown scales and wings were apparent. His tail swayed back and forth as a grin came cross his lips. "I remember!"

"Good, because Shao Kahn is heading out way, and I got the feeling we will be attacked soon. So stay on your toes," I told him.

Dave looked at his form and smirked. "I got a kick ass costume for the party now!" he laughed.

"What were you going to go as before?" I questioned.

He had a smirk on his face. "You"

"I'll kick your ass later for that Dave, right now we got to prepare" I growled to him.

Dave looked at me oddly as he and I changed back. "What the hell is with Orton?" he asked of me.

A smirk came over my face. "Well… I suppose he's gained the power of Scorpion through the mask. He's fighting it, which is something that never should be done" I explained.

Dave looked at me oddly. "Why?" he asked.

"It will just fight back"
