Chapter 6- Demon Kane

Daniel Bryan was the first to the arena.

He has a long day ahead of him but knew time spent at the arena would give him an advantage later on. He searched for the locker rooms before finding the office of the authority. "Great, they already set up shop" he muttered.

The day has proven to be an odd one.

For one, he woke to the smell of burning bed sheets. He got them off just in time and managed to douse the flame in the bathtub. On the bright side he got his hotel for free for the incident after they learned he didn't smoke! But the burn went through his shirt and on to his chest. He was given a new room to sleep in, much to his surprise. Sleep came easily! Yet what he dreamt wasn't out of the norm for him.

He came across himself in the dream, yet wore goat horns and had the lower body of the animal! "Again with the Goat!" he said.

But his other self smiled. "I see how you got your nick name, needless to say mine was too easily obtained."

It made him paused. "Am I really talking to myself?"

"Believe it or not, yes, yes you are. You need to listen to me. I am Daniel Bryan. Just as you are Daniel Bryan, but I am not of this world!"

"Uh… huh."

"Hear me out. I come from another world, a parallel of sorts. I was brought into your by unnatural means. I came to tell you that things are going to happen in the locker room, and if they are not fixed soon, well… it can shatter all reality. Not just mine, but yours."

Daniel was getting weirded out. "No offense, but this is a dream. None of this is really happening."

The horned Daniel rolled his eyes. "Fine, I will prove it, go find Kane! Your Kane, because mine… mine's not exactly like yours."

"He's worst isn't he?"

"Big time! But you need to find him, my world's Kane is already in your realm, and no doubt he's pissed off!"

"Okay, what do I do when I find him or it?"

"Don't make him mad, don't let him grab you and try to understand him. I'll help you, I speak his language."

He woke up shortly after that.

For the rest of the day his mind kept recalling the dream, which meant one thing. It wasn't one of those dreams that feel real but are soon forgotten.

Daniel snapped out of his daze when he began to smell something burning. His eyes drifted to the floor and found large footprints burned into the surface. Along the walls were hot talon marks, some were still smoldering. "What the hell..." he said to himself. His focus was shattered when a wave of people screaming came right at him. A flood of arena employees were making a break for it. They shouted something about a hideous monster in the arena, one that burns everything it touches.

"Well, so much for waiting this out." Daniel muttered.

He dropped his bag and began to follow the sounds of people scream and the smell of burning objects. There was an odd voice coming down the halls, it wasn't speaking any language Daniel knew. But then he heard the crack of a kendo stick. He ran towards it now and saw Roman Reigns battling this disturbing looking monster.

One that looked a lot like Kane.

Its hands were up, as it spoke and pleaded. Roman however refused to try and understand what it was saying. "You want to talk, talk! But not this gibberish, I ain't playing this game!"

The kendo stick he was using has since turned to ash. All along the floor Bryan saw what remained of Roman's weapons, remarkably he found a metal pipe that melted under the pressure.

"Svabol re wux tirir?" it said, yet as it spoke, fire burst forth from its mouth.

"TALK NORMAL!" scolded Reigns.

"Roman! Roman, calm down man… calm down" Bryan came from behind and got between the two. He turned to the beast whose body composed only of scales and oddly enough chard rock. His feet were black and clawed as his hands were red with long black talons. Bryan slowly approached it, looking into its red eyes before daring to ask. "Kane?"

Its eyes widened, he nodded his head feverishly. "Kane! si mi Kane!"

Daniel couldn't look away from him. "What the hell happened to you?"

"Never mind him, what the gob happened to me!?"

The three turned to see Sheamus approaching them. Everyone's head tilted to the side in great confusion like Kane. "Did I miss a few months and fast forward to Halloween?" said Roman.

"You and me both." Said Daniel.

Sheamus wore deer antlers on his head like a crown, his body covered in furs and leathers not of this world, his shoulder pads appeared to have been made from bear paws. His beard has grown down his face and could reach his navel! Yet it was braided strangely. "What are you staring at?"

"Apparently you. What the hell did you do to yourself!" said Roman.

Sheamus looked himself over. "Yeah, I woke up like this. Weird no? One moment I am in boxer shorts, next I got fur and leathers I never knew I had. Strange dream about it though. I was talking to myself and they told me to watch my step, something odd is going down…" suddenly he stopped and stared at Kane oddly. "Are you naked!?"

Everyone turned and stared, however, with the way his body altered, no one could tell, not even Kane himself. "Let's not find out." Said Daniel. "What we need to find is what is going on."

"Coi ui Stephanie, jaciv tira nomeno!" said Kane.

"And people say I am hard to understand!" laughed Sheamus.

"He said it's Stephanie, she's behind this." Said Daniel Bryan.

Kane nodded his head and tapped his nose. "How the hell do you know what he is saying?" said Reigns.

Daniel shrugged. "I guess I got some help in that area. Kane, if you know what's going on, we need to put a stop to it."

Before Kane could agree, he began to hold his head in pain. He fell to his knees as the glow in his eyes became brighter. He hissed and then roared aloud before getting to his feet and running off without an explanation.

'Catch him, you have to catch him now!' Daniel heard in his head. His mind began to pulse, the world spun as Daniel Bryan fell to the ground, unable to get up…
