Chapter 9- Elimination Chamber.
There were many things that were to be expected that night in Kane's mind. One happened the moment he came in through the doors. He heard a commotion coming from the locker rooms, the sound of a body being thrown followed by the whooping call of one Paul Heymen. Kane dropped everything and went to see what happened. By the time he arrived, Daniel Bryan was laid out on the floor, face down and unmoving. Kane stared at the fallen superstar, he wasn't the only one to notice the commotion. Stephanie and Hunter were quick to his side and noticed the fallen Yes man.
"Damn it, was this your doing!?" Hunter demanded.
Kane glared at him, but managed to hold back his anger and true response. "Why would I do this the night of a PPV event? No, it wasn't me."
Stephanie looked worried. "We cannot have a chamber empty, we need someone in there."
"Brock." Was Kane's first instinct. "Put in Lesner, I am certain he would jump at the chance, but have him go into the ring first rather than the chamber."
Stephanie smiled. "Perfect. Hunter, go tell Brock tonight is his lucky night. Kane, deal with this." When the Authority walked away, Kane stared down at Daniel. He was moaning and just starting to move again under his own power.
Kane couldn't let him recover just yet.
He picked Daniel up and threw him hard into the wall, it would bide him some time until he regained his strength. When Daniel hit the floor for the second time. Kane leaned over him. "You are going to be rather upset with me when you wake up again. That's fine by me. You know where I'll be by the end of the night. Time it right."
Kane walked over Bryan and found the ETMs. He told them of the attack yet advised them not to remove Daniel from the building. "he isn't in server need of medical attention. Just monitor him, and if he wants to get up and go, let him." Were the orders.
The ETMs were rather confused, however their heads nodded to Kane's order and retrieved Daniel from the locker room.
For the rest of the night, Kane prepared for the main event. The refs shirt was a little snug, yet it will do the job. Kane was the first one to the ring as he was the one who would make certain the superstars would be in the correct chamber. Randy was the first to come out as Kane pointed to the chamber at the far left of the ring. Second was Cena, who was placed in the top right. Third Christian, then Cesaro, Sheamus drew the short straw and would start the match, as they waited for Bryan, the arena filled with boos when Brock's music hit. Kane was rather glad that Cena was in the chamber, he was already striking it in anger, demanding to know what happened to Bryan. Sheamus however turned and stared at Kane with shock. 'Great, they assumed I'm the one who took him out.' Kane thought. 'Oh well, no point in trying to correct it now.'
The match was intense, Sheamus held his own for some time until one by one, the chambers opened. All the men shared the same idea. Get Brock out of the chamber before focusing on anyone else. It took the efforts of three men to put down the beast, Brock however didn't feel ready to go yet. The elimination chamber door opened for him to exit, but Brock put up a fight.
Then he showed, just as Kane expected.
The crowd was on its feet as Daniel Bryan's theme came through the speakers, he be lined it to the ring and went right for Kane. Kane stumbled back far enough to make it look like he accidently struck Brock. The two giant men tumbled over the top rope before they rolled down the ramp way after Daniel Bryan gave one final kick to them. He was quick to follow them out and continue to strike at Kane. Kane was battered and beaten into the back locker room, another ref took over the chamber match. Kane began to fight back against Daniel until the locker room banded together to pull them apart. Daniel was the first to be ripped away as Triple H came to calm Kane down.
"Let it go, it's done, let it go!"
Kane, however, needed to make it look good. He stared Bryan in the eyes and said. "This isn't over!"
Bryan smiled. "No, it isn't. I'll make sure of that!" When Bryan was out of sight, Kane calmed himself down and looked to Hunter.
Triple H was worried. Randy's back up man was standing next to him, the match will be called down the middle now. "Let's regroup to the office and hear what Stephanie has to say."
Kane sighed aloud as he followed Hunter into the office. Stephanie was watching the match closely, either by pure talent or dumb luck, Orton managed to pull off the victory. The TV was turned off, Stephanie turned to Kane and gave a sigh. "That could have gone a lot better." She said.
"With all due respect, I got attacked." Said Kane.
"Yes, but still, could have gone better. No matter, tomorrow is the big night, we announce the return of CM Punk to the world, and he said he would make an appearance, it says so in the contract." Stephanie was all smiles as she and Hunter walked out for the night.
Kane was left alone once more, he hoped everything tomorrow will go accordingly…
