Chapter 3- Stephanie
The locker room came willingly; Taker announced to them the drastic action that was about to take place. Snitsky had made vials of transformation fluid… hundreds of them. He stole it from the lab we broke into. Taker held the vials in hand. "You don't have to do this!" he announced as the room shock and the lights flickered. "But if you do… you know what will happen… you will never be mortal again…" he said.
The room stared to one another there wasn't a worried look in the crowd. Hunter stepped up first, not before asking me. "Are you ok with this?"
I nodded to him, he wants to help, who am I to stop him? Taker took the vial and let it fall onto Hunter's flesh; it crept in through his pores as the transformation became rapid. He took Snitsky's power… the Basilisk Taker had passed out the vials telling every man and woman who wants to do this, to do it now. The battle was coming to us and we won't have much time.
I was about to take one, until he stopped me. Taker took hold of my hand and gently put it to the side. "With all due respect, if any one of us live after this… your daddy is going to kill us!" he said.
I didn't care, I wasn't going to sit on the sidelines as these brave men and women were about to go out there and face the unknown. I began to see everyone around me transform. Some turned into Dragons, others snakes, some vampires. But all seemed ready to battle. Taker ordered everyone off into groups each being led by a single man or woman. Hunter took one. Matt took another; Maria and Melina all took charge of their groups as Taker commanded the rest. He told of weak points among the damned vampires. And the damned creatures, his only advice was to make them bleed and bleed a lot.
I was left to find my father; it didn't take me long when I saw him nearly pass out at the sight of Hunter. "Dad! We got to keep moving, we need to prepare a back up plan!" I called to him.
"Steph… you didn't!" he began to say.
"No... I didn't take any of the potion, but dad we really need to keep going, this arena is going to collapse if we don't let them fight!" I pleaded. My desperation got my father to his feet; we were about to move until something came crashing through the wall… hard. Hunter went to see, and was stunned. Snitsky was covered from head to toe in blood and his own venom. He tried to move with no avail. He hissed aloud painfully.
"I… I can't hold them off anymore" he said. Looking through the hole, I saw them, the dark creatures converging on us! Wasting no time, the locker room cleared out and went on the attack! I helped Gene to his feet. Dad took the other side. Kane hid Sage and Kratos under wing until we could find a safer spot. Snitsky was dead weight to carry, but the moment we got to my father's office I put him down gently. Kane looked more worried than before, torn between helping his friends and protecting his family.
"What now? What are we going to do?" Kratos asked. "We're sitting ducks!"
"Let me think" Dad called out, he began to ponder over some options as the tremors grew more and more vicious, we were all knocked off our feet as the battle intensified. The walls were falling around us, howls and roars of utter pain and agony filled the night sky. I worried for Hunter… I worried for everyone.
"Snitsky, how many are out there?" Kane asked.
"I don't know, thousands perhaps. We need more to fight!"
Kane knew that all too well, our locker room consists of perhaps a hundred wrestlers if we are lucky. The were a sudden silence in the mists of Chaos… just for a moment, there was peace… Kane looked to my father and I, wondering what was going on. Snitsky however only smile. "Reinforcements… have arrived" he grinned.
