SmackDown had come around quickly. The Undertaker had spent the last couple of days explaining everything to Paige and the Shield as well as apologising to them for what he had tried to do. He had told them the story of the past and how he was the King of Darkness in his previous life and Paige was his first Queen and most beloved wife. He also asked them to consider something where he would get what he wanted and they would also get what they wanted, as well as the WWE Universe getting a show like they had never seen before. The Undertaker had worked out a long time ago he would never be able to forget who he once was, he had also come to accept that.

Flashback to to Tuesday night

The Undertaker had finally convinced the three members of the Shield to agree to him talking to Paige and them so that he could explain his actions and apologise for what he had done. Paige had spent Monday night and most of Tuesday morning in the hospital. Undertaker, Kane and Daniel Bryan had been trying to find the best way to explain their actions without sounding like it was all part of some fairy tale or made up story. They had written things down, litterly anything that they thought would be relevant in explaining everything.

They had arrived at the hotel room a couple of minutes before they had arranged, Dean opening the door not happy that they were there but was outnumbered when it come to the vote of letting them explain. Seth was sat one side of Paige where as Dean sat the other side of her. Roman was pacing around behind. The trio of the Undertaker, Kane and Daniel Bryan sat on the other provided sofa opposite where Seth, Paige and Dean sat, unsure of how the trio were going to take what they were about to say.

"Okay this isn't going to be easy to understand, so we found as much information we could find about the period, that historians have discovered. We will also be explaining some of the things we remember to help you, understand it" explained Kane, not looking forward to telling them that he was responsible for the death of three of them, and that Nikki Bella was responsible for the death of the other one. Although he was also intrigued by what their reaction would be considering they were the only ones who had no memories from their previous life. "There are a lot of things that is going to be hard to believe like all of us in WWE had been before, 5 centuries ago to be exact, and some of us still have some habits that we had then" added Kane already seeing the disbelief that was appearing on their features.

"I was the King of Darkness, the ruler of the land and powerful in magic, my greatest enemy was Vince, the King of the light lands, you could say our rivalry was like light vs dark. My first marriage was to Paige, like now you were much younger than me, and unlike every queen before you processed no magic but had a gift with ravens, they would fly before you. Most people called you the Raven Queen. Your brothers back then were Viktor and Konnor. Dean, Seth and Roman were your protectors, wherever you went they were always with you. Even on the battlefield, during the invasion, when Vince brought his soldiers to our land, as normal you thought in the battle, we were separated and Dean, Roman and Seth stayed with you" said Undertaker, deciding that someone else should take a turn explaining, he didn't want to remember that it was Kane his own brother that had turned against him and killed his wife and two of her protectors.

"At some point in the battle I turned on my brother, I caught Paige by surprise when I impaled you, while Dean was distracted with helping you, I slit his throat and Roman I used as a shield when the arches fired upon me as punishment for what I had done. At the time Undertaker was being cursed by Bray. I would have killed Seth as well but he had ran to find Undertaker and inform him what had happened. I was caught and executed by being burnt at the stake" added Kane explaining that it was indeed him that had killed three of them. "I was forced to go to the funeral, Paige was buried with her onyx, where as Roman and Dean's injuries were completely covered by the skilled medical guys and then beauticians back then" added Kane, basically saying that his execution was after the funerals. After that the four of them looked over to Daniel Bryan, since he was with the brothers of destruction yet hadn't said anything thrust far. They guessed he would be the next one to explain, since no one had actually explained the fate of Seth yet or what happened to the rest of the kingdom.

"After Paige, Dean and Roman's funeral, Undertaker married Nikki, who did process magic. She realised that Undertaker kept going to a church, she thought he had a mistress until she followed him realising he was visiting Paige. When she realised Seth was the last remaining connection that Undertaker had to his first queen, she ordered his death. I was the one who killed you on her order. You were buried with Paige, Dean and Roman. A couple of years after Undertaker died and Nikki was put to death by Stephanie for processing magic, along with anyone else who processed or mentioned it, everything except a few things were destroyed of that period. The church still remains and a few monuments but that is it" spoke Daniel revealing he was the one who carried out the order to kill Seth, although he didn't say how he had killed the other man. "Even when the four of you were reunited, you three boys had the instinct to protect Paige, you kept some qualities like most of us did" explained Daniel, seeing the way the four were looking back at them.

"I didn't think that there would be a curse on you also. I thought that it was only one me, so it tried to reverse the spell, when it didn't affect any of you, I realised it was the bracelet that you three worn and that something was blocking my magic for Paige. When I did finally reverse it, it caused you to not only retain your memories of this life but also immense pain. You had two different worlds at odds in your head. The only way to stop your pain and suffering was to reverse what I had done, taking away your memories and theirs as well as any chance I had with reuniting with my queen" explained the Undertaker, he smiled sadly that he would never be able to reunite with his beloved wife but he was the one that had caused Paige's pain so he had to reverse it. "I am sorry for what I did, to all four of you. If I had succeed then I would have taken her away from you, I see now that I was wrong to do that, no matter how much I wanted to be with my Paige again" added the Undertaker finally apologising for what he had done to the four of them, even when they didn't realise what could have happened.

It was then that Paige looked at each member of the Shield, the knew she was planning something as she had that sparkle in her eye. It was the one that Seth knew the best as he had seen it a lot during their FCW/NXT days. He smiled slightly curious what she had in mind this time. It was then that she got up signalling for the three to follow her, Roman asked the three who had explained everything to them and apologised to wait while they listened to what Paige had in mind. When they did listen to Paige, Roman had tried to convince her out of it, but was out voted when Dean and Seth agreed with her. The four soon returned to where the Undertaker, Kane and Daniel Bryan waited.

"Paige here has an idea where, you get what you want, we get to stay near her to protect her and the WWE Universe get something they have never seen before" said Dean, seeing the interest peak in the trio before them. Each of them looked towards Paige who was standing between Roman and Dean, Seth was behind her this time. Making sure that nothing happened to her. Paige smiled at each of them before breathing deeply, and smiling at them all once more, summing up the courage to tell them what she was thinking.

"Okay we join you, so you get me, but these guys stay as my protectors. Instead of me being your queen I have some sort of relation to you. Send the WWE into a whole new era by going against the likes of Cena, Randy, Charlotte, and the others that were part of Vince's light kingdom. Give them a recreation of the war that happened then, except no death just the WWE version. Make it so they get what they want. A whole new era with different top stars and whole new feeling, instead of the light winning, we the dark side win, so to speak" said Paige, seeing the way that Daniel Bryan looked at her. "The Wyatt's helping us of course" added Paige, she could seeing that they were thinking about her idea. It was then that Daniel Bryan spoke up.

"I think it can work. Paige being your daughter, considering the age difference. You would still have her at your side and it would be like you are teaching her how to rule so she can take over when you stand down" added Daniel speak up and agreeing with the idea. He wanted to see it happen, they had all the elements this time. Nikki would be the queen in secret, where as he and Brie would be together, each of them would play a role that would end one era and bring about a new one.

End of Flashback

That was a few days ago, tonight was SmackDown, everything that they had planned was in place and ready. The Wyatt's had been sending out weird riddles via twitter, and that had confused most of the WWE universe. Dean, Seth and Roman had been protecting Paige. Who was currently running about excited for what was about to happen on today's SmackDown. The three boys were smiling at how Paige reacted to all of this. She and Nikki had been planning at lot since technically they were married to the same man during that previous life.

The show had began with the Wyatt's in the ring, but they were alone, stood next to the commentators table was Undertaker, Kane and Daniel Bryan. Nikki would be out later on along with Paige and the Shield, it was time to give the WWE Universe a war that was not only going to change the era but the face of the company. It was literally light vs dark.

"The end of an era is coming, the one of Darkness is on the horizon, nothing is going to stop it. When the dust settles only those who side with the Queen of Extreme will survive, she will decide the course of the future and the fate of all of us" said Bray laughing like a maniac after, it was then that Stephanie's music hit, as normal she was escorted by Evolution, she had a smile on her lips like she had already won, although it was unclear to those there why. To her surprise at that of Evolution neither of them in the ring or at ring side were even bothered that they were, there wasn't even an attempt for them to move, instead they just looked at them.

"Queen of Extreme, I'm sure Nikki would hate that name and she is the one who makes the decisions around here. I do. I decide the fate, the future and the present together we of the light will win this so called war that you are on about. After all my father has already destroyed empire once, so I will do it again" replied Stephanie believing that she had the one up, something that brought a huge smile to her features. That was until she seen the way that Kane and the Undertaker looked to each other, dark smirks on their lips.

"You're right Stephanie Nikki isn't the Queen of Extreme" suddenly said a voice with an English accent, the group perk up a little at hearing her voice and even more when a spot light went to the WWE Universe, pointing to where she was stood with Seth, Dean and Roman already making their way down to the ring area, their expressions emotionless, like they had one job to do only. "I am, I will change the face of the WWE universe, and I will rule it this place" added Paige, making her way down the stair well with Seth, who walked down beside her. Seth smiled at her as they reached where Dean and Roman waited.

After that night WWE was catapulted into a new era, Paige ruled along side the Undertaker, where as Kane taught Nikki the trick of the trade. The Dark family was also formed consisting of Undertaker, Kane, Paige, Seth, Dean, Roman, Finn Balor, Konnor, Viktor and Nikki. They were the ones that lead the new era. Anyone who wanted to set another era off had to get past them. It truly was the Era of Darkness.
