Chapter 14 The Necromancer
The bus tires screamed as it pulled into Titan towers. Kane was quick to unload everyone off and rush them inside. They moved too quickly to answer questions, not to mention paid no mind to the odd stares they were given. Brock had to support the Undertaker into the elevator as Kane hit the hidden floor button. Silence befell upon the unlikely group. Roman, however began to sway oddly. He stared out through the glass when he noticed a ball of light coming his way. "Oh hell." He said.
It struck.
Everyone in the elevator was knocked back to the walls as the light pierced through Roman Reigns. The first to recover was Kane, his head spun but eventually his sight cleared up enough. Roman was sounding different. "re wux kruth?"
Slowly, Reigns turned around. His eyes had altered as fangs grew from his jaws. He gave out a wolf's howl before starting to grow. His arms and legs grew stronger than before, his body covered mostly in hair and yet he somehow retained most of his human features. He settled himself down, a low growl came from him but he was calm. "About damn time." He said.
The others came too. He was quick to offer a hand and get the others back on their feet. When everyone stood once more, Roman began acting strangely again. His ears twitched, his nose scrunched up as a sneer came over his lips. "We were followed."
"Then we better hurry up!" said Brock.
The elevator came to a stop and the door opened. As they rushed out, Kane looked about, and just as he suspected. He found Bray Wyatt in the same position he left him in. "Bray Wyatt!" Kane called in his normal voice.
Wyatt slowly looked up, he didn't have a dazed look or menacing stare as he usually did. He was oddly calm. "I was hoping you would come back." He said in a gentle voice, he then looked to the Undertaker. "We don't have much time and no time for explanation, quickly, into the room. Kane, Brock, I need you to hold the doors! Roman, no one gets out of that elevator. Bryan, I need you with me."
Despite orders coming from Bray Wyatt, everyone did as they were told. Roman took the halls and made certain to bide any time needed. Kane opened the doors to the hidden McMahon room, and got everyone inside. From there he and Brock held against the doors, but Brock had a better idea. He was able to summon magma from his hands and feet, creating a barrier. Kane was able to absorb the heat to prevent a fire in Titan towers. Just to be certain, Brock kept to the doors and insisted Kane go along with Daniel.
He saw them gathering in the middle of the room, Bray Wyatt was contorting and altering various objects in his hands as Daniel watched on. The Undertaker was having a hard time keeping his own eyes open. "What's happening to him? Why is the Undertaker like that?" said Bryan.
"He's like that, because something or someone is forcing him to turn into another person. Someone more powerful. It's an old trick to drain the life force energy out of one being in order to access a more powerful side of them. It's the sink or swim tactic."
"How do you know this?" asked Kane.
Bray smiled. "Your Bray Wyatt has known this for a while, just using the knowledge for other purposes. I have been trying to tell his realm of what is going on, and how to stop it all from happening. Perhaps it would have been a better use of energy to possess someone that isn't my alternative self."
Daniel paused before he stared at Kane oddly. Kane however appeared to realize something, he started to sing oddly. "He's got the whole world, in his hands, he's got the whole wide world in his hands…"
Wyatt smiled. "I suppose it would have helped as to whose hands they needed to be."
CRACK
Everyone froze to the sound.
Then a yelp of a dog was heard, someone struck Roman Reigns hard, causing him to whimper like an animal. Then there was a hard smashing sound. The door began to bend.
BAM!
Light was starting to break through as Brock tried to hold it back. Kane ran to his side and braced the door as another blow came against it.
SNAP
The hinges began to blow off the side, the door started to warp as another powerful strike came against it.
Then the ice formed.
So much ice began to gather, there was nothing they could do.
Kane and Brock just got out of the way as the door shattered to bits. The debris flew everywhere. Standing dominantly at the door were Stephanie and Hunter.
The silver conquerors.
"You waste my time." Said Stephanie. She held up the lantern that continued to glow and smolder. The light grew brighter than the last time any had seen it. "It is all for nothing. You cannot protect this world from us! Now, release the Necromancer, and we will end you swiftly."
Kane and Brock stood at the ready, both men in demonic form would bide what time is needed. Before either one could make a move, they heard a voice. "ENOUGH!"
Everyone turned as the Undertaker rose up under his own power. Black smoke began to billow from his jacket until he was engulfed into it. Bray was smiling from ear to ear. "Be careful for what you wish for." He said.
The Undertaker emerged from the fog, remarkably different than before. The tips of his hands were clawed and glowing a haunting and unnatural green. He stood covered in a yellow and gold cloak. Upon his shoulders were two demonic skulls. His face well hidden in his cloak but one could see his eyes glowing a haunting green. His flesh was no longer flesh. It was split open in many areas, revealing the same glowing green that has come into his eyes and tips of his hands.
Stephanie only smiled. "The Necromancer."
"kwi uoinota" said demonic Kane.
The Necromancer began to step forward, however he turned to Bray Wyatt and extended his hand for something. The item Bray Wyatt had spent his time on was relinquished to the Undertaker. Stephanie however only laughed. "You have no power here, I have it all in the lantern! Look upon it Necromancer and know this. I rule this land, I rule all realms for they are in my hand!"
He said nothing, instead he began to toy with the object Bray Wyatt gave him, his glowing hands contorted and shaped the object until it began to float in front of him.
A replica lantern has been made.
"It is one thing to hold the power. It is another to know how to control it." The Necromancer then reached for the glass of his lantern, it began to glow brighter and brighter until the room filled with an unnatural light.
No one could see a thing…
