Chapter 2- Rise of the Dragon.
The fans reaction to Draco was mixed, some liked him, and some didn't. Yet the more they saw of his moves. He was starting to win them over. Lee had done countless run in for Kane and Taker, distracting their opponents and helping them out when they were over powered. It was announced on Raw that there would be a three person tag. The Brothers of destruction VS Triple H and two partners of his choice, needless to say who the brothers picked.
Triple H chose Batista and Randy Orton from his Evolution days. They went to the ring first, followed by Kane, the Undertaker and then Lee as Draco. She had created her own video with the assistance of the video editor and recently got the rights to use Three Days Grace's song Riot as her own theme.
They put on a great match as Lee was able to show off the moves she learned from Rob Van Dam. However as the match went on, Lee began to worry about something. Knots began to form in her stomach as she found herself unable to breath. Taker turned and saw how much she was in discomfort and whispered in Triple H's ear, the match came to a sudden end when Kane hit the big boot out of nowhere! When the match was over, Lee's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she passed out. She hit the side of the ring hard before crashing to the ground…
She couldn't think straight, yet she managed to wake the moment a light was flashed into her eyes. Slowly, but surely she opened them on her own accord. Looking about the room was Kane, Taker, Orton, Hunter, Batista… and Vince.
"So… this was the big secret huh?" McMahon demanded.
Looked down, Lee found herself wearing only the under armor suit from her costume, she looked to Vince stunned and tried to explain, but no words came. "I'll clean out my desk" she whispered.
"It's one thing to lie to me about this Lee. It's another to go behind my back and pull it off!" McMahon was pissed off. "Therefore, since the fans had grown so attached to you, you will unmask yourself next week!"
"Mr. McMahon" Taker whispered, he pulled him out of the locker room to talk. Lee looked about to everyone and tried to apologize.
"I let you down" she whispered lowly.
"We shouldn't have done this behind Vince's back. I'll take the brunt of this" Hunter announced.
Taker was soon to come back in and shut the door. "Lee will unmask… But…" he said.
"But?" Lee asked.
"Draco will unmask who… SHE really is"
"You mean…"
"You're sticking around a while longer"
"I… I don't know what to say…You took a bullet for me!" Lee announced.
Taker only nodded his head as he walked out of the room, leaving her utterly speechless, everyone in the room was. "Well, I do believe this calls for a celebration!" Kane announced.
"A great one indeed!" stated Orton.
"And I'm buying!" said Lee. She then paused as she looked to the others. "What… made me pass out?" she asked.
Batista explained about the chemical in the spandex suit. "There was a hidden element in there… it's similar to a latex allergy or something according to the trainer… it just winded you. Not to mention that fall you took was hell!"
"Fall?" she asked.
"We'll explained later"
That night, they celebrated with a great meal and drinks all around, Lee saw the Undertaker in the corner, yet he didn't speak a word to her… nothing. She grew worried that she had become more trouble to him in the locker room than what it's worth. She tried to make conversation with him through out the night yet was pulled away or distracted by Kane. He seemed to know what was wrong.
When the party came to an end, Lee looked to Kane who kept staring at the Deadman. "Why?" Lee asked.
"Why what?"
"Why did he stick his neck out for me? I'm not worth the hassle am I? What gave him the reason to stand up to Vince?"
Kane looked to her with a sign and thought over his words. "I think he saw something in you, talent and work ethic is not what it use to be. You don't find many people willing to work hard and bust their ass or go the lengths you did. If you remember you did everything anyone ever asked of you when it came to the training… You never questioned us and had faith in what we told you to do. Some people don't see that, they figure 'I'm going to show them and do it my way, when I want to or if I feel like it'. You on the other hand did so without question, short cuts and always improved yourself. It may have impressed him"
"You're kidding me?" Lee said with a smirk. "I'm just a young woman trying to make it in this world and you think I impressed him? I hardly impress Vince!"
"Vince does like you, or you would have been fired the moment you vanished!" Kane replied with a grin. "But the thing to remember is you keep grounded, don't let it go to your head, the last thing you need is an inflated ego"
She nodded to him in agreement; Lee knew she had to be careful when it came to getting noticed. She recalled back when she was young, doing something good and being acknowledged for it… only to bring it up time and time again to make herself feel special… she rolled her eyes to herself, knowing that was a childish thing to do, and here in the WWE would equal to a headache and serious lecture.
Taker soon came over to their table; he looked down at Lee and gave a small smile. "Bradshaw is going to have a chat with you" he said before walking away, the only sentence he said to her all night… Lee's stomach turned into a knot, Bradshaw is the second guy in the locker room you NEVER mess with. Kane only smiled to her, as if knowing what was going to happen…
