Chapter 12: Kidnapped
April 7-18, 2006
Author's note: just to not get in trouble, I should remind everyone that I don't own anything that has to do with WWE. Also, please don't raise a stink; I created this scenario to both make filler and develop Pandora's relationship with Undertaker.
Thank you, ChanelCalaway, for helping me with this chapter by telling more about this feud
After Armageddon, Pandora became popular among demons her age, especially with those she went to school with. Those demons were impressed that the tailless demoness they all ignored was the valet to a very popular, very powerful demon. Pandora enjoyed the attention but did not let it get to her head. She wanted to remain unaffected by fame and her dedication to Undertaker and her training in Hell in a Cell made her strong enough to do so. Undertaker was glad that she was strong; but, in the middle of his feud with Kurt Angle, he started debating on whether he should continue to have her as his valet, especially when she started to call him "Master." She explained that she called him that out of respect because of his past title as Minister and because he trained her himself but it still got to Undertaker. Another reason why he started to question this situation was that Pandora came in handy with his feud with Randy because she could be a rival to Lilith. But now…he was thinking of telling her to go back to Hell and watch him there while living a full existence. It took a newcomer to show how much they needed each other.
April 7, 2006
Mark Henry demanded a rematch after Wrestlemania and Undertaker agreed, giving it to Mark Henry the week after Wrestlemania. Pandora took her usual place at ringside, cheering Undertaker on and taunting Mark Henry. The two wrestlers paid her no heed, especially Undertaker, and focused on their match. But the match became a no-contest after Undertaker gave Mark Henry a leg drop. Looking up, Pandora saw two people coming towards the ring, one of whom was Daivari…and the other was someone she had never seen before.
The mysterious man was a human, obvious by his scent. He wore black pants, had thick black bands on his wrists that looked almost like shackles, and had naturally tan skin from a country Pandora did not know. His black hair was shoulder length and he had scruff on his face. But what really made him stand out was his size. He looked to be as tall as The Big Show but this man was pure muscle and had a much wider core. Undertaker did not notice him yet so Pandora tried to get his attention. "Master…Master…Master…Master!"
Undertaker looked up from slamming Mark Henry into the announcers' table, looking annoyed. "What?"
Pandora pointed at the mysterious man and squeaked, "That."
Undertaker looked up and took notice. He too was surprised to see this man appearing, especially when he came into the ring by stepping over the top rope. Still having the look of disbelief on his face, Undertaker went back into the ring and looked the man right in the eye. Pandora shuddered as she saw that the man was not intimidated by the demon. Undertaker gave the man a punch and he barely flinched, shocking the two demons. Undertaker hit the man again…and was knocked down by a brain chop. Pandora yelped in surprise; one blow brought down the most powerful demon she knew?
The man was not done with Undertaker. Stunning Pandora, he slammed Undertaker face-first into the turnbuckle (after he ripped the cover off), repeatedly head-butted him, and finally kicked Undertaker's face while the demon was down. With Undertaker out cold, he and Daivari celebrated in the man's victory as Pandora came in and crawled to Undertaker. "Master! Master, are you okay?"
Undertaker was unconscious and Pandora could not help him. With one hand, the man gently grabbed her head and picked her up, putting her on his shoulder. He then started to leave, with Pandora kicking and screaming on his shoulder. She tried to get free but his hand kept her on his shoulder. "Put me down! Let me go! Master! Master! Put me down!"
The man and Daivari paid no mind to Pandora's pleads and left. Pandora still struggled to get free, watching the ring and her master get farther away.
A week later, the man was introduced as The Great Khali by Daivari. Daivari said that Khali would be the one to destroy Undertaker, since others have failed to do so. He also explained why Khali took Pandora. Daivari himself had no use for the demoness…but Khali thought she was beautiful, despite her being non-human. Pandora felt disgusted that this man assaulted her master, kidnapped her, and then expected her to be with him. Khali tried to show respect by giving her a Victorian-style gothic dress to wear (since he said only a loved one should see so much skin). She accepted and wore the dress (she figured, why pass up a free dress?) but refused to accept his advances, blatantly turning him down every time and looking for Undertaker every time she joined Khali at ringside. She tried to run away numerous times but was always caught. She also ignored all offers from Hornesta and Lacti to rescue her; Pandora said that she was not in real danger and she had faith that Undertaker would get her back. After much persuasion, Hornesta and Lacti agreed and let her be.
At Judgment Day, Undertaker fought Khali but Khali defeated Undertaker. Pandora was stunned that the demon she was dedicated to was defeated again. When Khali expected her to congratulate him, she crawled to Undertaker and tried to revive him. This enraged Khali; he grabbed Pandora roughly by her arm and pulled her out of the arena. She tried to go back to Undertaker but Khali's grip on her was too tight. From then on at the suggestion of Daivari, Khali wore a special pair of handcuffs. They had a chain that was three feet long and larger-than-usual ratchets. One ratchet was hooked to Khali's right wrist and the other was around Pandora's neck; Khali's shackle was always removed and shackled to a post when Khali was in a match. Pandora found the shackle to be insulting but not as insulting as Khali mocking Undertaker's pin and victory pose. Pandora growled viciously at Khali each time Khali mocked the powerful demon but she never gave up hope that she would be rescued and told Hornesta and Lacti the same, thought they did not share her faith.

That night, Khali, Pandora, and Daivari entered the arena. Pandora was looking around, hoping to at least hear from Undertaker like she did last week when he accepted Khali's challenge for a Punjabi Prison Match at the next pay-per-view. While she looked, Daivari, being either brave or stupid, said that Undertaker was scared of Khali and then demanded to see a physical sign of Undertaker's presence instead of just his voice. Pandora kept glaring and hissing at Daivari. He was crossing the line with insulting Undertaker like this, especially since he acted like he was a big shot. Pandora and the audience's hearts sank when nothing happened, to Daivari's delight. But then the bell tolled and the lights went out. When the lights came back on…Undertaker was in the middle of the ring!
Khali wanted to attack Undertaker again while Pandora was relieved and happy to see the demon again. Undertaker stared daggers at the two men, who appeared to not be intimidated. Khali silently taunted Undertaker by miming the brain chop while Daivari vocally taunted the demon by saying that Khali was not afraid. Pandora looked at Undertaker, her eyes pleading to be rescued. She wanted to get away from Khali but was stuck because of the shackle. Undertaker then answered…by making a lightning bolt hit near Khali. Only Daivari was knocked down; Khali and Pandora did not move, both for different reasons. Pandora then noticed that Undertaker scowled, a rare show of emotion. She did not know if it was because Khali was not intimidated by the lightning bolt or because the lightning bolt made her chain more noticeable.
Khali tried to go to the ring a couple times to battle and Undertaker was ready to accept any attack. Pandora eagerly led the way but was stopped by the chain because Daivari made Khali stop. Daivari wanted to wait until the Great American Bash. Khali reluctantly agreed and pulled Pandora away with him. Pandora kept her eyes on the demon, locking eyes with Undertaker. When Undertaker gave Khali the RIP throat-slash, Pandora smiled softly; she knew she would be rescued when Undertaker slayed Khali.
At The Great American Bash, Khali was replaced by Big Show because Khali tried to do away with Undertaker before the match. Pandora was not at the event at all; Khali was not about to give up his prize and kept her locked up in his hotel room. Pandora tried to escape but was unable to do so due to being too weak. Her demonic friends could not rescue because they did not know where she was. But Pandora perked up when she turned on the pay-per-view and saw that, despite Khali interfering, Undertaker defeated Big Show in the Punjabi Prison.
Wanting to do away with Undertaker himself, Khali challenged the demon to a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam. However, Teddy Long changed the match to the SmackDown just before SummerSlam. Pandora felt relieved by that; she wanted to be reunited with Undertaker as soon as possible.

The Last Man Standing match was brutal. Both wrestlers were intent on destroying each other. Pandora watched from the ring post on the other side of the steel stairs; she was chained there by Daivari to keep her from interfering with the match. She was able to move around a little but she mainly stayed in place and cheered Undertaker on and taunting Khali and Daivari. Pandora felt a little stronger around Undertaker again and felt like herself again, especially when she was able to touch him a few times. She lost her cool a few times, especially when Daivari interfered with a chair and Khali threw Undertaker off a high platform near the entrance. She wanted to go to Undertaker and tend to him but knew she was stuck. She was worried about the demon but still believed that things would be all right; her faith was restored when Undertaker slowly got up from the fall.
The match continued and Pandora got worried that Khali would win again. She begged Undertaker to not give in to this monstrous human. Undertaker answered by sitting up and fighting back. Thanks to the steel steeps (which Khali intended to use) and a steel chair (taken from Daivari), Undertaker was able to beat Khali to a bloody mess who could not answer the ten-count. Pandora cheered for the demon, who seemed relieved that he was able to slay the human. Getting out of the ring, he immediately went to Pandora and touched the shackle around her neck; it melted upon touch. She smiled up at him. "I knew you would rescue me."
Undertaker silently took her hand and led her away. But he gave one more glare to Khali, who had not moved. Pandora sighed; this nightmare was over for both of them. Unbeknownst to Pandora, Undertaker was glad to have her back with him. Having been born a human, he understood the saying "you don't know what you got until it's gone." When Pandora was kidnapped and held captive, he realized how much he enjoyed her company. Having already been forced to give up his daughter the night she was born, he was determined to not do the same with Pandora.
Pandora put back on her sexy outfit but kept the dress in her closet in Hell. She kept it to remind her of that period in her existence and to remind her of how lucky she was to be with Undertaker.
