Chapter Two: Kane's Contract
Heavy footsteps marched through the barren grounds of the Eccentric Circus. Kane growled at haven been pulled back into this freak show, but he was still under contract with the likes of Screw-Eyes so he had to bear with it for now. The Demon superstar of the WWF soon found himself standing where the main tent of the circus used to stand. He then continued to walk and stepped through the bleachers where he saw a man standing in the middle. Stopping but a few yards from the middle of center, Kane then asked, "That you, Screw-Eyes?!"
"Ah, Kane…" The ringmaster said without looking back, "I was wondering when you'd get here."
"I know that I'm still under contract." Kane said with a growl. But then he added, "But you should know that after this job, I'm done."
"I do know that, my boy." Screw-Eyes said as he turned to the professional wrestler. He walked over to Kane while he said, "And I always keep my promises. But believe me when I say that this job isn't going to be like the last one."
Gesturing for Kane to follow he said, "Walk with me."
Kane walked after the older man as they left the Big Top's former site. As they walked by the many attractions of the circus, Screw-Eyes said, "It won't be an easy task, Kane. But I know that you're just the man to do it."
"Tell me what it is so I can be on my way." Kane demanded. The circus owner shook his finger and said, "All in good time, my friend." They walked into Screw-Eyes' office as he said, "All in good time."
Once they walked inside and the door shut behind Kane, Screw-Eyes turned to him while leaning against a desk. He had a smirk on his withered face as he said, "As you can see, things for my circus have fallen apart."
Kane nodded, seeing how there weren't as many customers and on the way here, some people were talking about an incident that happened a few days ago. Professor Screw-Eyes then said, "I need an attraction to get me back on top, and my no-good, goody two-shoes brother of mine has the only thing that will draw the crowds back to me."
Picking up a piece of paper, he handed Kane a flyer for an exhibit at the museum of Natural History. Kane could see that there was something new coming and then looked to the old man and questioned, "And my job is what, exactly?"
"Why to go and bring me the one I want most." Screw-Eyes said, "I want you to bring me back the new flyer. You'll see her when you walk in." Then he added, "Today, you are to reconnaissance, and tonight you'll go back and secure the flyer."
"And that's it?" Kane asked, "You call me before I'm to go and get the WWF championship title to break into the Natural History." He scoffed before saying, "You are out of your mind."
"So were you when you signed your contract." The ringmaster said as knew that he still had Kane under his thumb, "And you had once said, that no matter what, you'd do anything for a career in the WWE."
Kane growled at the reminder, but took a deep breath before saying, "Alright. I'll do this one final job for you." Then with a hand sweep he said, "But then that's it."
"All right, all right." Professor Screw-Eyes said as he put his hands in front of him with the calm-down gesture, "Now you'd better hurry. The museum's about to open."
Kane turned and walked out the door. But before it closed, Screw-Eyes then called after him, "And Kane, don't forget…" The wrestler glanced back as the old man said, "I easily got you in to the Wrestling Federation," His smirk grew as he said, "And I can just as easily get you out again."
Kane said nothing as he walked away from the professor's office. But before he left the circus, he saw a fitting room and decided to change to lay low.

It didn't take him long to get across the park and stood across the street from the Museum of Natural History. Kane looked down at the business suit that he had brought with him and his face felt so odd without his mask, even when he wasn't wearing it on the plane. Watching for any cars, Kane started making his way across the street and then walked up the steps to the front door. Once he was inside, he quickly paid a little girl who was volunteering the admission fee before asking, "Is the new exhibit open to all visitors?"
"Oh, it is." She said. But then she added, "But right now, it's the children's special learning time."
Kane looked down to her and asked, "And how long will that take?"
"It shouldn't be much longer now." The girl said as she looked down at the clock in front of her. Kane then decided to go the doors of the wing where the exhibit was. He wasted no time looking at the other things there and soon found himself in front of two large mahogany doors. Looking about he could see a few parents waiting for their children to come out. Kane noticed a large clock on the wall and noticed how close to three o'clock it was getting. Kane growled in annoyance as he watched the hands of the clock slowly go by. When it finally became three o'clock, the doors opened up and the children inside quickly rushed out of the room. When they were all gone, Kane kept his head down and walked into the room with his head down.
As he walked inside, he glanced up to see four giant statues of dinosaurs. An orange Tyrannosaurus Rex, a purple Pterodactyl, a blue Triceratops and a green Parasaurolophus. Kane attention was focused on the flyer of the group and he became confused as he thought that Screw-Eyes was even more crazy that he wanted a fake display of a dinosaur.
Keeping his boiling anger bottled up for the time being, Kane then looked about the room for when he came back later that night. He saw a few other exits mostly used by employees, and knew that with the main door, there were a total of five entrances to the room. He looked about and saw no security cameras in this room, which he found a little strange but didn't question it. It make his job a little easier. He looked up and saw a skylight and thought that it might be a good way to get in. But then he thought about it again and decided to go against it. Walking out of the room for a minute, Kane decided to scope out the security of the museum. He only saw a few guards here and there, but they didn't look to be much of a problem should he be quick and precise with them. Kane then walked back into the room one last time to remember where the flyer would be. Then without another word, he turned and walked out of the museum all together.

Screw-Eyes grunted as he was shoved back into his office by redressed Kane. The wrestler had walked into the circus grounds in anger and pulled the older man away from whatever he was doing. The ringmaster stood up, looked at the angry man and said, "You seem a little more angrier than usual, Kane."
"You sent me to that museum to steal a display for you?" Kane angrily questioned. He walked over to Screw-Eyes and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Screw-Eyes then said, "I assure you, Kane, that that was no ordinary display! It was an actual creature." Then pointing to Kane he said, "And you will retrieve it for me."
Kane growled as he roughly let go of the man. Kane jabbed a finger at him and said, "Fine, I'll get your stupid flyer!" But then he added, "But I'm waiting til dark to go back."
"Then you'd better hurry when you go." Screw-Eyes said. Kane turned and walked out of the office.

The sun was setting as Kane made his way back to the museum. He carefully walked around the building until he came to a back door. He tried pulling the handle, but it wouldn't budge so he used his strength to rip it off its hinges. He looked about the alley before going inside.

"What was that?" Louie asks as he heard the sound of the door being ripped off. Cecilia shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"How about you and I go check it out, Cecilia?" Elsa suggested. Cecilia nodded and said, "Alright. The museum's closed so most of the parents and their children should be gone."
The two then walked out of the Dinosaur Interaction room.

Kane carefully made his way through the darkened hallways of the museum as he made his way back to that room. He could see lights up ahead and quickly moved to the wall. Then he heard the voice of that little volunteer girl say, "I think it came from this way, Elsa."
"Best turn on the lights, dearie." Another voice said. Kane tried to keep out of sight as best as possible as he could when the lights above flickered on. He could hear the sound of footsteps. But he found some of the sounds odd. One set sounded like the tapping of shoes, while the other set sounded something else. Kane stayed behind a large mask and watched as they came by. It was the little girl from earlier, but then his eyes widened when the second person walked by. The purple Pterodactyl from earlier was walking right behind the girl.
Now knowing that Screw-Eyes was right, Kane quickly tried to think of a way to bring the Pterodactyl back. An idea came to mind, but he thought that it was a really dumb one. Waiting until after they had passed, Kane then walked around the giant mask and carefully walked after the two. He made it to where his footsteps followed after the dinosaur's steps. Both the girl and the dinosaur stopped at a T-junction and Kane stopped as well. The girl then said, "Let's split up, Elsa. I'll take the hall on the left and you take the one on the right."
"Sounds like a plan, Cecilia." The Pterodactyl said before the two walked down the separate halls without noticing Kane. When he was sure that she wouldn't be able to see him take the girl, Kane then once again walked to the rhythm of the dinosaur's footsteps.
As she walked, Cecilia could hear the heavy footsteps behind her. Though not sure why, she called out, "Elsa? I thought you went down the other hall?"
"I did, Cecilia!" Elsa shouted back. But when Cecilia stopped and the footsteps behind her stopped, she could still hear footsteps from afar. Getting a bad feeling about this, Cecilia slowly turned around. She gasped when she saw the tall man standing there. The girl tried to play it safe by saying, "I'm sorry, sir. The museum's closed for the night."
"Sorry, kid." Kane said as he reached for her. Cecilia gasped before screamed in fright.
Elsa sharply turned her head to the sound and saw the man standing in front of her friend. The Pterodactyl screeched an alarm before moving to save Cecilia. The masked man looked back to the incoming dinosaur. Quickly acting, Kane grabbed the girl and flung her over his shoulder. Cecilia tried to fight her way out of the man's grip, but he held on too tight for her. Kane ran through the halls of the museum with Elsa right behind him. The purple Pterodactyl flapped into the air and flew after Cecilia and her captor.
\_l_/
Louie, Rex, Dweeb and Woog could hear Cecilia's screams and Elsa's shrieks. Louie looked to the others and said, "Come on, they need our help!"
All four of them took off running to go find their friends. The screams, shrieks and footsteps grew louder as they got closer. They were about to turn down a hall when a big man in a wrestler's out fit and a red mask came running up with Cecilia over his shoulder. He stopped when he saw Louie and the other three dinosaurs blocking his way.
Kane quickly looked back to see Elsa coming in hot. Having come prepared for the situation, Kane removed a smoke bomb from a pocket and threw it at his feet. A large smoke cloud erupted around the wrestler. Elsa and the others gasped as they disappeared into the smoke cloud. Everyone grunted as they ended up crashing into each other.
"Cecilia!" Louie called out. The five coughed as they walked out of the smoke and saw the man running off with his captive. Louie then shouted, "Cecilia!"
\_|_/
Kane continued running as he reached the emergency exit and ran out the broken door. The girl continued to fight and scream as he held onto her. The wrestler ran out onto the side walk when the sound of an angry roar came to his ears. The loud sounds of footsteps caused him to look back and see the dinosaur's breaking through the already broken door. Kane began to see that the plan might go up in smoke when he saw a motorcycle coming down the road. Stopping on the road he held out his hand. The driver of the bike saw him and came screeching to a stop. When he was stopped and another car stopped behind him, Kane quickly moved forward and grabbed the man before saying, "Move!"
The bike's driver yelled as he was thrown onto the ground. Kane placed Cecilia on the back and warned, "Don't struggle or you'll get even more hurt."
Cecilia decided to comply with the man as he sat behind her and revved the bike. Kane took one last glance before he sped from the incoming dinosaurs. Elsa screeched as Cecilia and her captor disappeared down the street. With a flap of her wings she took off after them. She didn't look back as Rex shouted, "Elsa, wait!"
Elsa had a determined look as she flew higher into the air, not knowing what she was getting herself into.
