The Blood of Immortality

Issue 1

      "Immortal.....as in a god" Taker said as he and Kane were once again on the road with the WWE.
"That was are brother. But the question is how?" Kane pondered. "There was more at the end of the book of Life to how we become gods, but no more to that"
"Kane, my brother. We have much to learn before we become gods, we have to get rid of all these dark souls before they manifest themselves, and we will find a way to being Aries back. Taker announced. Kane nodded in agreement.
"That we do. Now, let's get rid of the souls here, and then move on to the proficy" Kane stated. Thye laced up and walked out to face the dark souls. They were easy pickings as of late, they have become aware of what will be happening to Taker and Kane soon, some just let Taker and Kane kill them so they will not longer fear their wrath as immortals. Others did put up fights, the 3 in the ring did.
"We will not let you live to be immortal!" hissed one.
"You will die before you figure out the proficy!" Hissed other. Kane and Taker just looked at each other with none concerned faces.
"They just keep getting dumber and dumber" Kane muttered as their tag team partner walked out. Rikishi, the Phat man who was always dancing, and kicking ass. The demons gulped.
"Like our partner? I do believe you met his ass last week in a match? Shall we reintroduce you?" Taker smirked a devilish grin, the demons hissed and the one that did get stink faced as ill at the thought. Riskishi on the other hand doesn't see black souls. Yet Jobbers, young punks.
"This will be over in no time!" Rikishi smirked.
"That it will be" Taker replied as he and Kane tomestoned 2 demons off the bat.
"Oh dear me! 2 of the rookies are already out of it!" yelled the commenters.
"Rikishi.....He's all yours!" Kane and Taker smirked to the one he had last week. Rikishi roughed him up, and gave him the stinkface, Kane couldn't help but smile behind the mask as the demon claimed that he would rather have the sweet smell of burning fleash than fleash that is.....well...let's no go into detail shall we? After that. Taker and Kane double choke slammed the soul to hell. And the dark souls were defeated. Kane and Taker were on their way out till Riksihi stopped them.
"You homies ain't leaving till we do a dance!" he stated.
"I don't dance!" Taker growled. But Rikishi put the sunglasses on, and Kane had them on too! Rikishi's music played and he started to dance, Taker had no part in it, but was shocked when Kane busted a move!
"Oh hell Kane! What the hell are you doing!" Taker roared.
"Dancing! Watch this!" ask Kane did the moonwalk much to the pleasure of the crowd. Taker rolled his eyes. wondering where the hell did he go wrong with Kane.....and what did those demons they just destroyed knew about the proficy? After the dancing. They went to the back. They found the twins reading the books of life Jacob was making sense of it.
"Dad.... I think you got to look at this part!" his son stated. Taker looked in the book, more old words. But it had been writting in an odd form.
"Consumer of the knawledge...will consume immortality? What does that mean!?" Asked Jacob.
"I don't know kiddo. But we will find out" Taker replied.
"Dad.... I want Aries to come home?" he cried.
"We will see what happens Jacob, we promise to bring him back" Kane vowed. But Jonnie was laughing. "What's so funny dear nease?" Kane asked.
"I never knew you could bust a move!" she smirked as they played Kane dancing over and over again on the TV. Kane rolled his eyes.
"it's gonna haunt you for a while Kane!" Taker laughed.
"Yeah and if there are any other gods out there, they will be ribbing me too!" Kane smirked.

Issue 2

      Weeks have past, and Taker and Kane have been changing. It's not like physical changing....not yet at least. But they were changing, they could feel it. Taker could feel it. He was cold to the touch according to Sara, he would scratch his arms constantly, and he had a pit in his stomach he couldn't shake. "This never happened to me before! What is happening to me!" he asked Kane. Kane has been feeling different too. His mask would refuse to come off, therefore the couldn't become Glenn. He was hot to the touch sometime, at times. If someone touched him, they would get a blister from his heat, and burns. Kane and Taker had lost all will to eat, sleep or drink. When normally they did that to satify their mortal sides.
"I am worried that this is part of the proficy" Kane stated to Taker. "We are being tested"
"I think you are right my brother. But who's testing us?" Taker asked. When 3 months have past, Taker and Kane looked starved, Vince ordered them to get help. And take time off. But that wasn't going to work, Vince had no clue they were not mortal. Kane stayed withTaker at his home in Texas, and they would mainly sleep all day, which concerned Sara. She looked throught one of the books to find the answer, the language was new to her, yet she understood bits and peices. And she had more to learn about the language, she read what she could in the books of death, and they both had the same last line. "Consume the knawledge to consume immortality."
"What could it mean?" she wondered, she closed the book. And the book started to feel weird to her. She couldn't explain the feeling, yet...it was different. She took the book upstairs to Taker, who was struggling for breath! "Taker!" she called. She ran to him, and went to his side.
"I don't believe it Sara...." Taker whispered.
"What?" she asked.
"Kane and I...are dying" he replied. Sara was taken back by the news.
"But...you are sappose to be Immortal! You can't die!" she cried. Taker smiled slightly, but noticed the book she held, Taker took it from her hand. And looked at it. "Taker?" she asked. Taker opened his mouth, and very snake like was able to fit the book in his mouth, and swollowed the book. Sara was stunned since it looks like something from a horror movie, but he sat up! He felt like a new person.
"Of course!" he stated.
"Taker....what just happned!?" Sara asked. Taker looked to her.
"What book were you reading?" he asked.
"The first book of death......why?" she asked. Taker thought for a moment.
"I am to become the god of darkness...Kane becomes the god of fire.....Darkness....death....Fire...... Life! Sara, get me the first book of life!" Taker ordered. Sara did, she ran and got the first volume. Taker took it to Taker, and Taker ran into Kane's room. he took the bottom part of Kane's mask off, and let Kane do the same thing he did. And swollowed the book whole. Kane was glowing oddly, but sat up.
"WHOA!" Kane stated.
"My brother.....we need to eat the books to become immortal!" Taker explained.
"I figured. Where are the other books!?" he asked.
"Aries....was the last with them...before the Embalmer came through....he took them!" Sara explained.
"Oh hell!" Taker muddered.
"Why, what's wrong?!" Kane asked.
"Kane, if we do not consume the other 2 volumes in a time period....we will die" Taker explained.
"This is just great. And the Embalmer was the last ones with the issues!" Kane growled.
"Not only that....But I think the demons we just sent to hell....knew where those volumes are!" Taker growled.
"Taker, what will happen now?" Sara asked.
"We go hunting" Taker replied.

Issue 3

       "Taker, what is going on?" Sara asked.
"We have to consume the books, if not Kane and I will surly die. But there are ways Kane and I can substain ourselves if we don't find the books in time" Taker explained.
"Which ways would that be Taker?" Kane asked.
"Kane you need to absorb heat, to keep your strength up. But if you can't, then you will weaken" Taker explained. "As for me...I rather not talk about it" Taker replied. Kane nodded in understanding. Taker looked to Sara.
"I know you have to go, just....becarful?" she begged. Taker nodded and he and Kane went to the car port, there were Taker's Harleys. Kane got on one, and Taker got on his personal favorites. Taker and Kane began to ride off. Taker stopped and looked back at the house.
"I'll come back Sara. I promise" Taker vowed. He and Kane rode off, and he and Kane used their powers and were in hell's prison. Jez was shocked to the sudden company.
"What brings you......the book of death... I sence it!" she stated as she looked at Taker. "Why do I sence it in you?" she asked.
"I ate one of the books. You see Kane and I are going to be Immortal, and we have to consume the books. I have to consume the books of death.....and Kane has to consume the books of life. If we don't in a certain time. Both Kane and I will die" Taker explained.
"I could care less for you Taker. But Kane, I am concerned about." Jez replied.
"Jez, If I die or Taker does....we are both dead. We are connected. And we both need to become immortal for the other to survive" Kane stated. Jez just growled.
"If I must!" she replied. "What do you need my help for?" she asked.
"Dark souls we sent here today....are they still alive?" Taker asked. She smirked.
"Why?" she asked.
"They may know where the books are. We need them to tell us, before Kane and I go weak!" Taker explained. Jez led them down a hall, and to the cells of the new editions.
"Tiss the Undertaker, and his dancing idiot of a brother!" Hissed one. Jez looked at Kane.
"Kane danced?" she demanded.
"Just busted a move" Kane replied.
"Where are the other books!" Taker demanded. The demons smirked.
"Why would we tell the one that put us here?!" They hissed, Taker could feel himself weakening. He knew he won't last that much longer if he didn't get the books. Unless he used his other method of keeping alive.
"Open the door" Taker moned. Jez was shocked.
"Taker....."
"OPEN IT" Taker roared, Jez unlocked tha cage, the 2 demons were shocked too. Taker stood in the door, the demons were mesmerized, and suddenly walked to Taker, Taker grabbed the 2 of them, and he bit into their necks, they got smaller as Taker.....looked like he was feeding. The demons vanished as Taker sucked them in....and they were gone. Jez and Kane stood there, dumbfounded. Taker's eyes glowed slightly, he looked back at his brother and half sister. "That's the unpleasent part of me having to say alive" Taker explained. Dark souls all around crowed into their corners, shaking in fear.
"Anyone who is out of line next.....We be my next meal!" Taker bellowed. Taker looked to Kane. "Do you need to feed before we go?" he asked.
"How would I?" Kane questioned. Taker looked to Kane.
"Follow me" Taker replied.

Issue 4

    Taker and Kane went through the halls of hell's prison. Jezabelle was worried that Taker was gonna to try and hurt Kane once again. "Taker, I demanded to know what is going on!" she bellowed. "What happened to those 2 demons that were in their cells!? What are you planning on doing with Kane!" she growled.
"Shut you face!" Taker shot back. "Right now. I am tell Kane how he can stay alive for the moment while we find the books!" Taker replied. Kane looked back at Jezabelle.
"He's not trying to kill me dear sister. I assure you!" Kane replied. "We are as linked as the books themselves, when one dies, the other will too" he explained. Jez stood there and gasp. But then shook that thought clear, she then glared at Taker.
"Ok Mr. 'All knowing' if you are so smart, tell me where the Embalmer's soul went!" she growled. Taker and Kane looked at her shocked.
"It's not here!?" They demanded.
"No! I was asking you if you knew, since you're knowing what's what these days!" she shot back. Taker stared at Kane.
"He must have passed over!"
"Well of course he's dead Taker, I want to know where the hell in hell is his soul!" she yelled.
"He's not in hell" Taker replied.
"Then where!?" she demanded.
"I think he's passed over to the other side!" Taker explained.
"That's impossible, after all the things he did!" she demanded.
"At times, when you do the right thing for the first time. I could be just as much as doing the right thing all your life. It was just a while ago when Embalmer learned what he was doing was wrong, and he changed his life at the last moment. At times Jez. That's good enough" Kane stated. He was sincer about it, and Jez knew Kane was right.
"Damn it Kane, I hate it when you're right!" she growled. Taker noticed he found what Kane could feel off of to keep himself alive.
"Kane, how do you feel?" Taker asked.
"Oddly energetic!" he replied.
"Put your hand on Jez's shoulder" Taker instructed. Kane did, and he felt a surge go through him. Jez's eyes rolled and she colapsed!
"Oh by the gods! What did I do!" Kane demanded fearing he harmed his half sister.
"She's just tired. You feed off of emotions Kane, so when someone has a rage or feels the 'firer' passion of love, you put your hand on them, and drain them the energy of that emotion. They just pass out for a few minutes" Taker explained. Kane was shocked that he could do that by touch! Kane picked Jez up and put her back on her chair.
"We have to get moving" Taker insisted. Kane and Taker were back to the earth realm. And got on their bike.
"Taker, what did happen to those demons?" Kane asked. Taker had a smirk.
"They are now part of my balanced diet!" Taker smirked. Kane shuttered from the though.
"Crispy creatures..... How.... filling" Kane smirked, "So, where do we start the look?" Kane asked.
"I suggest we got to the Embalmer's castle, and see what turns up there." Taker replied as he and Kane reeved up and zoomed down to the highway, in serch of the books. Taker telelported them to the Embalmer's mansion, it was still standing. And just as evil as it once was, even though the Embalmer is dead.
"You think we can find something in here?" Kane asked Taker.
"I believe so. Let's look" They walked inside the mansion, as peering eyes began to glow out of the darkness...

Issue 5

       Taker and Kane walked farther into the house, and more eyes began to peer out of the darkness. "Ttttiiiissss Taker and Kane.... Who are here for answers!" Hissed one.
"Damn right, so if you have anything to tell my brother and I....you can tell us now! before...... Before..... " Taker stopped suddenly. he fell to one knee!
"Brother! Taker!" Kane called as he went to his side. The demons smirked and hissed with laughter.
"He'ssssss weak! Now we can get rid of him for good!" Hissed half of the demons.They all were about to jump at them. But Taker's eyes started to glow purple, they all suddenly backed up in fear. Taker eyes them all, and all their eyes went from blood red to purple.
"Taker...what's going on!" Kane demanded as he backed away from Taker, Lightning seem to strick out of no where, and the demons got struck! There was a strong lighning barrier around Taker and the demons, Kane couldn't get to them. "TAKER! TAKER! Brother, please be ok! Kane begged. The barrier was down, the demons were gone, and Taker was KO'ed! "BROTHER!" Kane bellowed, he ran to Taker's. Taker moned and he slowly got up. Kane had to help Taker up. Taker's eyes were still glowing purple. "Brother?" Kane asked. Taker closed his eyes.
"Book of life.... next room" he moned. Kane supported Taker into the next room, it was very dusty. And not to mention full of old furnature, some was from the Embalmer's 'wedding'. Kane put Taker in one of the chairs. "look.... in the.... alter" Taker huffed. Kane looked, and on the alter were the book. The cover was there.... But the pages were gone!
"Taker! The pages are gone!" Kane paniced. Taker closed his eyes for a moment, and opened them.
"Fire place.... check....the fire place" he whispered. Kane looked a roaring fire was on, and there were the pages. Kane was about to reach in... But worried he could be burnt. "You can do it Kane" Taker said. Kane looked to his brother, and back at the fireplace, he was shocked that the pages weren't burning. Kane was still worried he could be burnt. But he tugged his glove....as he reach into the burining fire place.....

Issue 6

       Kane put his hand into the fireplace, but he found it strange, as his hand went closer to the books, the flames moved away, and made a path for his arm. Kane reached in and pulled out the pages. Once his hand was out, the fire went back to normal. Kane looked to his brother. "What the hell just happened!?" Kane demanded.
"Your powers.... are taking effect" Taker moned in reply. Kane put the pages in the book cover, and it sealed itself, making it look like new. Kane took his mask off. And consumed the book like the first one. He could feel a change in him. Power surged through him, and he felt a warmth in the pit of his stomach. Kade looked at his mask, and the mouth peice came off of it. He put his mask back on. And looked to Taker.
"We will spend the night here?" Kane asked. Taker nodded.
"Yeah.... Let's, I am too tired to move" Taker moned.
"What happened to you?" Kane asked. as he sat next to Taker. Taker moned at the thought of what happened.
"I ate them all" Taker moned in explination. "All of the demons, that were gonna attack. Something in me just clicked, and then I consumed them. Without a second thought!" Taker explained. And getting tried at the same time. Kane let his brother rest, as he explored the house. The place brought back sour memories. The hall to where Jezabelle was nearly married, and the Embalmer nearly became family. Kane smirked.
"He bacame family either way!" Kane smirked, he looked through more of the house. There was the skeleton of the Embalmer and that of the demons at the wedding, a lot of bad memories. Memories that won't go away. He kept on looking around till he felt a sharp pain in his mouth. Kane was moning, and growled in pain. Taker heard his brother's cries and got up. He slowly made his way over to Kane.
"Brither! what is wrong!" Taker demanded. Kane had removed the mouth peice of his mask, when Kane looked to face his brother. His eyes teeth had grown to fangs! "What the hell!" Taker muttered in shock.
"What happened to me!?" Kane cried.
"I... I do not know!" Taker replied. Taker thought about it, till the answer hit him. "Oh no" he whispered.
"What!? What's happening to me!" Kane demanded.
"Since you feel off of the fires of souls.... the only way to do so now is it you bite those who have have you need to survive.... you've become a fire soul vampire"
"No..... I can't! Taker we must find the other book!" Kane cried.
"We must find all the books. If you become immortal before me, I am dead as are you!" Taker warned. Kane nodded, but he didn't like the face that he had to become a vampire that feeds off of the fires in souls. Taker went back to where he sat and relaxed again. Kane sat next to his brother.
"I pray I will not have to use these fangs" Kane muttered.
"We will try not to dear brother" Taker replied ask he closed his eyes. "Tomorrow, we head east, I can sence the book of death there." Taker replied. as Kane and Taker fell asleep for the night.

Issue 7

   The next day, Taker and Kane were up bright and early. Kane stood out of the sunlight in fear that the sun burns, since he was a vampire. Taker was exploring the old house when he found Kane, huddled in the corner. "Kane, why do you sit there?" he asked.
"The sun.... it will burn" Kane replied with saddness in his voice.
"It will not burn dear brother, see for yourself" Taker replied. Kane looked to his brother, and slowly..... and very carfully he put his hand into the light, he moved it away quickly once it touched the light. Since he didn't feel a burn. He put his hand in the light completly. It didn't burn, and it did hurt him. It felt warm on his skin. "See, the sun will not harm you" Taker replied with a grin. Kane smiled. As he stood up, and stood in the sun.
"So we head east?" he asked Taker. Taker nodded.
"Yeah. Need to eat something before we go?" Taker asked.
"No, I am ok. You should be ok as well!" Kane joked at he poked Taker in the gut, he still looked full from last night.
"Shut up Kane!" Taker growled as his eyes glew purple. "Come on, we are wasting riding time!" he ordered as he and Kane jumped on the bike and headed east to where Taker senced the books.

Meanwhile...

       Sara was at home, she was phoned by Vince McMahon multiple times. He demanded to know where Taker and Kane were. "They went riding Vince, I don't know when they will be back, it's a bonding thing that they are doing at the moment. You know they have much to fix in their relationship!" Sara expalained. Vince bought the excuses.
"You damn well be right Sara. I need those 2." Vince replied. "In the mean time, who else is staying with you?!"
"I am staying with my children. Why do you ask?" she demanded.
"Taker has another son... does he not?" he questioned.
"Yes...why?" she asked.
"Bring him tomorrow to the arena. He can replace Taker till Taker and Kane come back from their little "Bonding trip" Vince replied. Sara could picture his smirk over the phone, he was gonna get a star one way or the other. Even if it was young talent. Sara hung up.
"JACOB!" she called up the stairs. Jacob came to the top, and looked to his mother.
"Yes mom?" he asked.
"get your father's old wrestling gear. You're gonna be having your first match tonight" she replied. Jacob was shocked, and smiled with delight.
"About time!" he replied as he ran into the room to get the equipment needed. He was gonna be able to prove to the world he can be just like his dad. After all, not only did Taker and Kane train him.... but Aries taught him a thing or 2 before he passed away! Jacob tried on his father's first outfit, it was the black spandex pants with black torn shirt. He liked the pants but not the torn shirt, he changed that to a black tank top.... and a rep cape with a skull chain. "This was Aries.... I'll wear this so I know he's always with me" he whispered to himself. Now a ring name.... he needs something that would make him stand out, and as well as become feared in the locker room... Just like his dad. He thought for a while on a name, till something clicked. Jacob looked at himself in the mirror. "I will be Slayer" he grinned. "Demon slayer" he smirked as he ran down the stairs to join his mother to take him to the arena.
