Chapter 6- plan of attack.
A meeting was held, Kane took to the floor knowing in the next twenty four hours a full out war. He knew the battle plans and yet one thing remained, he needed Aslan. Kane turned to Mickey James. "You need to find him," he announced.
"Whoa, you think a giant talking cat can still be alive after 1300 years?" demanded Triple H.
"Hunter, shut up!" growled Trish. "I'll go with her"
"You do that, arm yourselves well" Kane warned. He then spoke of the upcoming war with the centaur leader. "We hope the faults on their weapons will go unnoticed until it's too late, in the mean time we will have to bide our time.
The dwarfs approached Kane and told him 'it' was ready. A grin came over him as he nodded to them. "I'll be there in a moment, for now we need to wait for the army to come… and then… we duel"
"Duel!?" demanded Taker. "No one said anything about a damn duel!"
"It's part of the book, I suggest you start reading!" Kane snapped back.
"What the hell man, just because you read the book, you leave all of us in the dark?" demanded Shane McMahon.
Kane could hear the Centaur mutter to the mouse knight. "I fail to understand the pointless bickers of royalty"
"Good, glad I am not the only one that feel that way as well" Reepicheep replied. Kane left the room as everyone was arguing among themselves, his disappearance went unnoticed.
"At the moment, now is not the time to argue!" announced Stephanie. She pulled out the same potion Mickey James has, the one that can heal with a drop. "I need honey and something edible for this" she announced. The centaur got right on it, Taker was rather curious as to what she was going when he soon realized Stephanie was making quick pills of the potion! The creatures keep it under their tongue until they are wounded, and just swallow it when they are hurt!
Kane returned a short time later announcing for Shane McMahon to go and challenge the King to battle. As they all got ready they heard a loud clanking sound echoing the tomb halls.
"ME! Why me!" he demanded.
"You'll be carrying an olive branch, they cannot hurt you with it, as well. The Centaur leader will company you along with a faun warrior. Here's the plan Shane" Kane tucked the young McMahon under his arm and whisper the plan to him, Shane nodded in agreement before he was out the door and off to make the challenge. Kane on the other hand left and went to do his own thing.
"Where the hell did Kane go off to?" Taker asked aloud. No one knew the answer.
Later that day.
The armies of the King arrived; they stood on the opposite end of the vast field before the stronghold. Shane McMahon, a faun and a Centaur were sent with olive branches and a message. They were whisked into the King's camp and brought before him and the councilmen. "Are you prepared to surrender?" the King asked.
"Well… no" Shane stated bluntly. "We are here to challenge you the King to a duel, we wish to see how you wield a sword for your people" Shane stated. "You have three choices of combatants. One, King Undertaker, Lord of darkness and reaper of souls" Shane paused as he saw everyone at the table look nervous. "Two, the Assassin, Hunter Helmsley" again, more mutters were heard. "Third… Kane"
"What? No title for him?"
"No, none as of yet, he is the little brother of King Undertaker"
"Little huh? Why should I accept this challenge?"
"So you don't look like a total wimp before your people and councilmen, correct? I mean would you really want a king who is fearful of a young challenger? Let me warn you though, he hasn't handed a blade…"
"I accept!" the King announced. "To the death, and winner shall get full surrender of the other's army"
"Glad we agree on something, I will warn Kane of this… Nice to meet you all" Shane said in a polite tone as he took his leave.
Back at the camp.
Kane continued to work on a new set of armor. "Sire, we have marked the passages of the underground as you requested" announced the Centaur.
"Excellent, be sure to chose the strongest warriors and the fastest, they must remain underground until the signal is give" Kane called back without looking up from his work.
Curious, the Centaur peered over his shoulder. "What are you making?"
Kane smiled as he held up armor meant for the creature. The centaur tried it on and found it very light to wear. "I have a feeling you will use your own body as a battering ram later… This will give you more of a bad ass ramping power!" he explained.
Turning to his suit of armor awaiting him, Kane smiled as he began to put it on, the battle was near and he had no doubt with the way Shane McMahon pitched the possible combatants, that he was chosen! "Now where are your sons? I need to teach them a few thing as well as yourself of a game we call back at home… football!" Kane said with an evil smile on his face.
