Chapter 5- Landing with a splash- Kane

Damn it all, since when did Taker and I become most wanted in this locker room? This has gone too far, Taker turned to Randy and I. "We got to dump it" he said.

"Dump the water? How? We don't know how much of it there is" Randy explained.

Taker nodded. "Just dump what you see onto the ground, put it in the drain" he ordered, the water would be safe to dump since there is a massive amount to wash it away. We decided to split up, and seeing what we could get rid of before anyone notice. Problem was with Taker and I… we can't hide easily, being about seven feet tall and three hundred pounds. But we will manage… somehow.

I came to the catering room, seeing a large dispenser of it. I looked about to be sure no one was watching when I kicked the damn thing over. I jumped on it once, shattering the plastic and letting the water go all over the floor. One down at least. But my attack didn't go unnoticed. JBL stormed in, he looked pissed. "What have you done!" he demanded of me. He looked like a young twenty five year old, cocky and had his black hair back.

"Bradshaw, it's for everyone's own good!" I told him.

But he didn't listen. "KANE'S HERE, I FOUND KANE!" he yelled out as he tried to give me the cloth line from hell. I dodged it just in time and Chokeslammed him through a table. Now for a place to hide… that's what I needed.

"KANE!" came a loud whisper, I saw Cena wave me over. He shoved me in a cleaning closet just as the others came in; John fell to the ground acting hurt.

"DAMN!" he yelled out.

"John, where did Kane go?" asked Ric Flair.

"Kane… is that who hit me? Damn… I don't know… I think the parking lot," John bluffed, yet they all fell for it.

"You go on, I will stay here to be sure Kane doesn't back track" called Carlito.

When I heard them leave, John Cena got up and opened the door.

"Dat's not cool" Carlito sighed.

"No kidding. Vince won't stop will he?" I asked.

Carlito shook his head no. "We can't hid you forever Kane"

"Yeah man, why not go to Smackdown?" asked Cena

I smirked. "He's hunting the Undertaker as we speak, we're not safe anywhere in the WWE!" I snapped back.

I came out of hiding completely, when I felt something was wrong. I turned to see the group return from the parking lot, I was in the cross eyes of Big Show.

"GET HIM!" he yelled out.

"Damn!" I hissed; I shoved Cena and Carlito off to the side as I ran for it as fast as I could run. I nearly ran into the Undertaker at the same time who was being chased by another group.

"We're cornered!" We said at the same time. The two groups had us surrounded.

Grins came across their faces. "Look at what the old geezers brought in" smirked Shawn.

"Michaels snap out of it!" Taker yelled at him. "Look at all of you! What good is it to be young when you don't see what has really happened to you!"

No one was answering; Taker's voice fell on deaf ears.

Show and Road Warrior Animal took hold of me, as Snitsky and Tyson grabbed Taker. We struggled as they pulled us to the ramp way before Vince McMahon. He grinned seeing us standing before him. "About time!" he scolded them. He looked to Taker and myself grinning.

"For years, I have searched for someone to fill the shoes of the Undertaker. I know you weren't going to be here forever Deadman, but now… you can! You didn't like how I made you young before. But now, you will! Kane…. Kane, Kane, Kane. Always resisted the change. Boys… throw them in!" Vince ordered as he pointed towards the water.

Taker and I tried to power out of this, yet we were just overwhelmed. I nearly broke free of Animal's grasp but Ric caught my arm. Taker too nearly broke free yet was stopped by HBK. We were dragged to the water's edge. Taker and I looked at the surface, seeing our youthful selves looking back at us.

The grin came over Vince's face. "They look thirsty boys, give them a drink!" McMahon laughed aloud. We struggled, trying to prevent our skin from touching the water's surface. When we heard Randy's voice.

"STOP! JUST STOP!" he yelled aloud. Randy came out with Chris Masters and John Cena. "LOOK AT YOU! ALL OF YOU!"

The guys stopped and gave them their full attention. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Vince demanded.

Masters took the mic. "You're forcing them to become something they aren't. As much as youth is good to have, you fail to forget that with age comes wisdom. Shawn. I've seen you starting to go back into old habits. Something you said you never wanted to do again. Yet… look at yourself man!"

Shawn's eyes gazed to the water's edge, no doubt he saw his old self, looking back at him.

"Hunter… I don't know how you got caught up into this… but is it truly worth it? Look at you. I have had the privilege… and the honor of facing you all. Just because I may seem like some punk kid… it doesn't mean I wasn't honored to face each and every one of you," Randy stated to them all.

I struck them in a sense; hell I think it did the Undertaker as well.

"He really does have more of you than you think," I muttered to the Deadman.

"Shut up Kane" Taker growled back.

I felt Animal and Big Show let go of my arms. Snitsky and Tyson did Taker's too.

"You mean that… don't you Orton?" Ric Flair asked.

"Do I look like I would be where I am today if it weren't for all of you?" Randy shot back. Taker and I were about to get up when I felt something hard come across my back! I fell face first into the water….
