Chapter 2- Kane

"Since when! How long?" I asked. The most joyous news I have heard since I learned Jessica… one of my children lived. Sage had come to me hand in hand with Kratos announcing she was expecting! I didn't think it would be so soon!

"I just learned, I took a test and it returned positive. I… I'm nervous, I don't know what to say… let alone do!" she said with a nervous laughter.

I could only smile to her. We will help her along. But it gave me new hope… Dragons are not going down without a fight! My joyous mood as soon shattered though, Matt had come running down the halls. "ANYONE WITH POWERS BE PREPARED! WE'RE BEING AMBUSHED!" he roared down the hallways.

The mortal wrestlers soon became panicked. "What's going on? Who's attacking us?" questioned Hunter.

Matt didn't have time to answer. "We have to hold the doors, Kane, hide her! NOW!" never have I seen Matt so scared or determined in my life. I took hold of his arm trying to get some answers. He only pulled his arm from my grasp. "They're here for her… protect her!" he whispered and moved on.

Hunter looked to me utterly confused; I turned to Kratos and Sage. "You two stay with me at all costs, where's is Jessica and Drake?" I asked.

"No one has seen them… I don't know" Kratos replied.

I don't need this now. I lost Jessica once… I can't lose her again. I watched as Batista, Melina and Maria stormed the halls. Jeff wasn't too far behind. Dave then made a drastic announcement. "Any mortals here that want a fighting chance… and want to help, you follow us right now!" he called out.

There wasn't much of a response at first, however, Hunter stepped forward, then Shawn. Others soon followed. All of the young wrestlers stepped up. As none asked Batista what measures were being taken to give them power to fight back… I think they all knew what to expect. Just then the power was cut, the emergency power even went down! We were in darkness, however Jeff led them out. "Stay together and trust me!" the young Hardy pleaded.

I grew scared… for the first time in a long while… I was scared. Sage was terrified, I could tell by the look on her face and the way she held on to Kratos, tears soon followed as my son even shed tears. My children… I cannot let them feel so vulnerable.

"We're going to follow them up. Stay with me, both of you!" I transformed into my true form and kept them both under wing, litterly. We walked the hallways as the walls shook violently. The ground itself began to shake from the force growing outside. What in God's name is going on?

I had come in contact with Vince who walked the halls blindly. "Kane? Is that you?" he asked.

"Yeah, what's going on?"

"Dark creatures, damned vampires all are converging onto the arena, the balance is disrupted so they are taking advantage! They are after something… or someone," he explained.

A whimper came from Sage, as he held onto Kratos tighter. "It's her isn't it… they are after her!" He cried aloud. "Dad! They are going to kill her!"

"Shut up!" I snapped to him. It was one of the only times I had ever raised my voice to Kratos… I had no choice, if she gets fearful, Sage will be an emotional wreck, if she doesn't maintain her composure, her children will die! "Now is not the time for negativity, we are dragons damn it, and we will fight them all!" I turned my attention to Vince. "What has Matt Hardy been doing?" I asked.

"Matt? What do you mean?"

"Matt and Dave announced to any mortal wrestler if they want a fighting chance… to follow them… I thought you knew… Oh dear God!" I whispered. Another jolt came through the arena; walls began to buckle as the emergency power kicked in once more. I was stunned to see a great deal of the locker room standing behind Vince; all of them have lost their mortal scent… Hunter stood behind McMahon… His eyes changed to that of serpents… a black band of scale came across his face and a fork like tongue slipped through his lips.

"Vince…" he whispered.

McMahon slowly turned around to face his son in law… He nearly passed out in shock… Hunter was a Basilisk...
