Chapter 2- Weird methods- Kane

It was an hour after Raw and I had a promise to keep. Kahn, who has changed his name once more to something more fitting of his wrestling persona… Morgan. We were just packing up when he was looking to me with great interest. "You're going already aren't you?" he asked of me.

I nodded to him. "Yeah, I'm worried Randy is going to do something stupid" I told him with a smirk.

Shao laughed deeply. "Ah yes, the days of youth. Who is training him again? I thought that would have been left to you," he asked.

"Sub-Zero, remember? We talked about this earlier last week"

Kahn nodded again until his eyes widened. "With the other Lin Kuei?" he questioned me.

Slowly my head nodded up and down. Kahn had a worried look on his face as he cleared the sweat from his eyes. "Something wrong?" I asked of him.

"The Lin Kuei thrives to outdo one another to become the best, a grandmaster such as Sub-Zero. However, someone like Randy would be considered a threat to those who wish to gain favor of their current leader. If that is the case, I worry for the boy"

His tone was stern, and he met every word. I placed on my mask and went to see Orton. I made sure to keep my footing for the ice was very slick. No doubt Sub didn't make this place a cakewalk. You have to keep silent or else ice will fall above you. Keep light footed or you will crash through to the next floor… well… by the room I was in. Someone already fell through. I however got around this stick; thanks to Kahn I learned how to float! I could hover across the floor with great ease… this will make dancing with the Mrs. a whole lot easier I tell you! As I floated through the hall, the Lin Kuei that saw me, bowed.

I was respected here due to my power and statues. I stopped turning to the two who were beside me. "Where is Sub-Zero?" I asked gently. They led me to a room, where you could feel the only source of heat in this whole ice palace. I went inside seeing Sub-Zero there and Orton freaking out.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" the young Orton demanded.

"Randy?" I asked.

Orton turned and saw me; he ran to me and tried to behind my back. "Keep him away from me, he's mad! Look what he did to my freaking arm!" he yelled.

Randy's arm was semi covered in ice.

I looked to Sub-Zero who looked quite frustrated. "I am trying to heal his arm! It's his main weakness, yet he is being a coward about it!"

I turned to Randy. "He knows what he's doing," I said to him bluntly.

"HE FROZE MY GODDAMN ARM!" Orton shouted back at me.

"The ice is melting! If he were to freeze your arm, it wouldn't be melting boy!" I spat back.

"STOP CALLING ME A BOY!" Orton yelled.

"STOP YELLING!" Sub-Zero spat back.

This wasn't going well and I knew it. "Orton, suck it up and let him do what he knows. If I know Sub-Zero, You're arm would be better than it was before. So trust him! If not. I will take you home right now and I can't promise you will have an arm if I have to do that" I stated.

Orton knew I was serious, and slowly he came out from behind me and stood next to Sub-Zero.

"Kane, can you help me for a moment?" he asked.

I nodded to him. Sub-Zero made a special blended paste. Hard to tell what it was yet he smeared it all over Orton's frozen arm. The stuff reeked! Yet he told me very carefully and slowly to form fire on both sides of the arm. Orton was ok with that since he trusted me. The ice melted as the cream went into his arm. Orton squirmed from the smell. "Ok that's enough" Sub stated.

The cream had since vanished and Orton's arm looked good as new. Strange thing was the scars on his shoulder were gone. Orton slowly moved his arm about, realizing how good it felt.

"Whoa… I wasn't able to do this before" he said.

"Don't mock my methods, the way of a Lin Kuei is to make one stronger, not weaker. I don't tolerate weakness"

I looked to Randy. "See you're in good hands" I told him.

"But he wants to submerge me into this cold climate. I'm not Canadian!" Orton spat back.

"You've been waiting to use that line for a while huh?"

Orton smiled to me and nodded. Sub-Zero wasn't amused. "Come now Orton, you must start training once more," he ordered. Randy put on the jackets once more and walked out of the room.

Sub-Zero looked to me. "You must have the patience of a saint," he muttered to me as he followed Orton out. I couldn't help but smirk. And wonder what the Deadman went though when working with Orton. Well he seems to be doing ok now… but we'll have to wait and see how he is next week.

Teleporting back to the arena, Kahn was there waiting. "Well, how's the young mortal doing?" he asked of me.

I couldn't help but laugh aloud. "He more edgier than a double bladed sword."

Kahn nodded his head to me. "The main thing a Lim Kuei does first is to eliminate its weaknesses. One by healing, the other… you know" he said.

"They ax them huh?" I asked.

Kahn nodded that was it. "Yet Randy has some special privileges there. Since he is your friend… a friend of the dragon king, doing this favor is very honorable to them. So Randy is getting special treatment," he explained.

"Good thing too, if he didn't. I think he would be dead by now!" I smirked.

Kahn laughed. "Trust me Kane, he would have been a long goner by the time he set foot on that place!"
