Issue 11

As The Undertaker and Paul Bearer entred the town, people were dumbfounded to see the two of them come out of the desert.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" Paul Bearer demanded, the people looked away.
"Where the hell are we?" Undertaker demanded.
"Looks like Deathvally." Paul replied. Paul looked back at the desert.
"You are thinking about something, I hope you aren't planning on stabbing me in the back!"
"No Undertaker, it's something about that desert. It made me think about Kane" Pual replied.
"KANE! WHY!" demanded Taker. Paul shrugged.
"I can't explain it....I'm going to find him Deadman, I got to!"
"Fine, see if I care!" Taker yelled. Paul got a cab and went to the airport. Taker was left alone. A group of bikers rolled in town, but the leader stopped as soon as he had a glimps of The Undertaker. He got off his bike, and confronted the personicfication of evil.
"Why is a guy like you without a bike?" The leader asked, Taker shot a look at him
"What?" Taker asked.
"Why don't you have a bike there?....Well, I see you don't have the proper riding outfit!" The biker laughed.
"I don't need fashion advise thanks! Tell me, how do you get a bus here?" Taker asked, the bike learder and his gang laughed.
"The only way out of this town is by plane, foot or bike. Listen, we always got room for a new fella like yourself"
"I don't need your help!" Taker growled, yet the leader was persistant.
"Come now, let's get you some new cloths. And you can think about it! Follow me" Taker's curiousity got the best of him. The biker took him to a rugged looking store. The leader brought a long coat, blue jeans, blue jean vest and sunglasses. After he brought them, he handed them to Taker.
"Try these on" Taker took the cloths to a change room in the store. He took his bloody cloths off, and put the new cloths on. After he stepped out of the change room, the leader nodded his approvel.
"There, don't you feel better?" The leader asked, Taker looked in the mirror, and saw what he became. And for the first time in his life....Undertaker smiled.

Issue 12

As we last saw. Undertaker just got some new clothing, thanks to the biker leader. They left the store.
"Now, all you need now is a hog" the leader laughed.
"I'll get one" Undertaker walked into a bike shop, and saw all the different kinds of bikes. One caught his eye. The Harley.
"May I help you sir?" The owner asked, Undertaker pretended to look interested in the bike.
"I want that bike" Taker replied.
"That's 6,000 dollars sir"
"I didn't say I want to buy it, I WANT it" Taker roared, his eyes were glowing purple. The owner's eyes were too.
"Right, take it" the owner said hypnoticlly. Taker road the bike out. The leader and other bikers were dumbfounded.
"Did you steal that!" they yelled.
"No" Taker said calmly, he put on his sunglasses. "They gave it to me" he laughed, Taker fueled up the bike, and the leader led them out to the desert where Taker just walked out from. 2 hours later, they all stopped. "Why are we stopping?" Taker demamded.
"Myth has it, that these deserts have powers" One of the bikers explained.
"Powers? You don't say" laughed another.
"The sands show you your life, mainly. Your family....you got one stanger?" the leader asked.
"I don't want to talk about them" Taker said coldly. The biker looked at them oddly.
"Why is that?" the bikers asked.
"Look, I don't want to talk about them!" Taker roared, they backed down. But the leader coninued.
"Come now boy, I got a family too. A big brother, I could always look up to!"
"SHUT UP!"
"Boy, what is your problem!" the leader yelled.
"I am a big brother.....I was never much of one" Taker whispered.
"Don't say that! It's not like you left him in a burning house!" one of the bikers laughed.
"You don't know the half of it!" Undertaker mummbled.
"Listen, we never got to know your name boy, what is it?" the leader asked.
"Undertaker, Lord of Darkness" The bikers laughed.
"He's such a badass!....Hey, that gives me an idea! You'll be Undertaker, American Badass!" The leader laughed.
"Listen, I'm Viper" The leader explained. "And this is my pack. Wolfgang, Rat, Jake, and stinky!" Undertaker looked at Viper oddly. "He lives up to his name!" Viper whispered. Taker looked back at the desert. He saw Kane and Paul Bearer together, they were like father and son again. But no Jezabelle. He looked abit over, and saw Jezabelle in the secerate servise. I tear rolled down Taker's cheek.
"Hey, you ok Taker?" asked Wolfgang.
"I need to find him" Taker replied.
"Find who?" they all asked.
"My little brother. I need to find Kane" Taker replied. "I'm gonna start being the big brother I should have been. Gentalmen, to Louisville KY! It's time for my Judgement day!" Undertaker announced. Viper and the gang had no objections to where Undertaker wanted to go.....Who would!

Issue 13

As Undertaker and the biker gang got closer and closer to their location. They stopped at a dinner to eat, although Taker didn't have much of an appitie. He watched tv. It was showing Raw is War, and Kane was facing Bossman's new friend, Bull Bucannnon. "That Kane fella sure is something huh?" Viper asked Undertaker.
"Yeah, he sure is" Taker replied.
"Say, you said your little brother is named Kane, well......Is that him?" asked Wolfgang. Taker smirked
"Yes, he is" Taker whispered, the gang went quiet.
"And you hurt him! Just because we're on the road, doesn't mean we don't have time to watch our wrestling. You hurt him perposly you sorry son of a bi...."
"DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!" Taker yelled before Viper could finish, the entire diner stared at Undertaker. Taker hurt a sickening THUD. He looked back at the tv. Kane was handcuffed to the ring, and his hand was bashed in with a steel chair by Bucannnon! "No, Kane...." "Kane sure could have used his brother there" Jake said. Undertaker shot an angry look at him, and walked out of the diner. Viper followed. Taker hopped on his bike, he was just about ready to leave.
"Where are you going boy?" Viper demanded.
"Where I want to, and are you gonna stop me?!" Taker roared, but Viper wasn't intimiated.
"Listen Taker, I know everything about you. I even know your real life!" Viper snapped, Taker shot a look at him.
"Really? How so?" Taker asked sarcasticlly.
"You are looking for the books of dead are you not?" Viper asked, Taker sat on his bike dumbfounded. "The Embamler you killed, put a spell on them. Only one with a heart can touch the books. I think Kane has a better chance at getting all the books than you! He has heart, and you...." Viper pointed his fingure at Taker, and stared at him eye to eye. "You don't even got one beating in that 6"11 body of yours!" Viper was serious.
"Then why are you helping me?" Taker demanded. Viper just smirked.
"Let's call it a expariment. Can the lord of Darkness be bad. Even though he has heart?" he laughed. Taker looked away. "That little brother of yours needs you now more than ever! Are you going to turn your back on him again? How can you even be the ruler of Stygian and take care of dark souls....When you couldn't even take care of your family!" Viper demanded.
"Look. I know what I did in the past to Kane was wrong. He won't forgive me for what I did, I can't blame him. I had to do what I did! I had to set the fire to start the proficy, my family was such a sacrific" Taker shot back, Viper slapped him across the face. Nearly knocking Taker and the bike over!
"Get a hold of yourself boy! You can either try to make amends with your brother. Or forget trying to get the books of Dead, at this point. You'll never be able to touch them!" Viper was dead serious. Taker pulled himself together.
"Let's go, I need to talk to me little brother" Taker replied, Viper smiled. The other gang members came out.
"Are we ready yo go now?" asked Stinky, Stinky's name still creaks up the gang. And make Taker smiled. The gang left the dinner, to continue their jorney.

Issue 14

Closer and closer Taker and the other bikers
got to their ultamate destination. But along the way, Viper had some training for Undertaker. They stopped on an empty highway.
"Ok Taker, it's time you learned how your brother feels!" Viper explained.
"What the hell are you talking about? Learn how my brother feels?" Taker demanded. The other bikers laughed.
"Allow me to demonstate!" Viper grabbed the sides of Undertaker's head. Taker blanked out. He saw blurred images of fire, and his mother burn to death....Then a mental insitution, salitary, lonly...And them he saw himself. Taker felt punches and kicks caused by himself....And them he saw X-Pac, almost feeling friendship...
"No, stop Viper!" Taker yelled, but Taker was powerless to do anything. He saw X-Pac get ready to hit him, the punches didn't hurt, but something in his chest did. Then he saw Tori. Taker never liked Tori, but he saw her and he felt her arms around him. Taker felt something he never felt before. But he couldn't put his fingure on it, Then he had the stabbing pain in his chest again, he saw Tori's arms around X-Pac. Viper suddenlly let go. Taker fell forward, he was gasping for air.
"What....just....happened?" Taker panted.
"You just when through the mind of your brother, how do you feel?" Viper asked.
"Used,....stupid....But I got this bad pain in my chest, what is it?" Taker asked, Viper helped him up.
"It's your heart....Well, Kane's heart. It was heart ach" Viper explained. Taker looked at Viper.
"How in hell did you do that? I don't know anyone else than can do that....Not even Paul Bearer!" Viper just smirked. "You aren't a dark soul....are you?" Taker whispered. Viper bursted out laughed.
"No way, far from it boy!"
"What are you two weirds talking about?!" damanded Wolfgang.
"It's none of your concern. Now Taker, you now know how your brother feels, and most of that pain is from you!"
"Viper, what about X-pac? and Tori, they did their fair share of hurting Kane!" Taker shot back.
"But if Kane had his brother there, someone to tell him right from wrong....He wouldn't have suffered like that. You used and abused your own brother!" Viper shot back, Taker looked away.
"I'll bet you never even cried before! Except in that desert!" laughed Stinky.
"So what? What's your point?" Taker demanded. The gang smiled.
"No wonder you have no heart! You never express feelings! You're weak!" laughed Jake. Taker grabbed him my the neck!
"How dare you, you little punk!"
"Let go of him Taker, it's true. You are weak!" Viper shot back, Taker slowly let Jake go. "Now, are we going to go or are you gonna kill Jake?" asked Viper.
"I want to do both" Taker smiled, the gang laughed. Taker huffed, and eventually laughed! The entire gang stared at him.
"You laughed! You never laugh!" said Stinky. When Taker caught his breath, he wipped a tear from his eye.
"I think we have made progress gentalmen!" smiled Viper.
"I never laughed like that before....Not since I was a boy" Taker whispered. VIper snapped his fingurs.
"That's what's wrong with you! Lost childhood innocents! You lost your childhood as a boy! No wonder you're so cold boy...You never were one" laughed Viper.
"So Vip...What do we do, take him to Disney land?" laughed Jake, Viper shook his head.
"No, we need something more drastic....Boys, we need the book"
"Book?" Taker asked, Viper pulled out a book. Simaller to one of the books of the dead. "Isn't that?..."
"No, this is the book of life. You'll see soon enough boy, I suggest you sit down" Viper explained....

Issue 15

As the Undertaker sat down before Viper, Viper opened the book of life.
"Now boy, listen closly. Close your eyes" Viper ordered.
"This is stupid" Taker muddered. But he closed his eyes.
"Picture the happiest moment it your childhood, if you can remember" Viper coninued. Taker thought, but nothing came to mind.
"I can't picture anything" Taker replied.
"Try harder." said Jake, Taker tried harder.
"This is as stupid as the time Kane put cotten candy on his face pretending to be a old gezer!" Taker said angryly.
"When did that happen?" asked Wolfgang.
"When I were 7 years old....Hey, it's working. Isn't it?" Taker asked.
"Yes, continued to think what happened that day" Viper continued......

Taker thought about what happened that day.
"I remember Paul Bearer...or my father, taking Kane and I to a carnavel. We had cotten candy, and I remember going on the roller coaster till I threw up....I threw up on my dad!" Taker laughed.
"Well. At least it's a childhood memory" laughed Jake.
"Continue boy" said Viper.
"Well, after throwing up on my dad. I dared Kane to go on the ride, but he was only 4 at the time. Paul did let Kane eat cotten candy for the first time, I had to show him how to eat it. Kane wound up wearing it more than eating it!" Taker laughed, Viper snapped him out of it. "Weird....Man, I am not used to being a mortal!"
"Nor are we" mummbled Wolfgang, Taker shot a look at him. "What? I didn't say anything!"
"Anyway, do you have any other memory?" Viper asked.
"I lost most of my memories when The Embamler made me his slave, I lost all of that" Taker repied.
"Well, let's see if we can wake some of those up" Viper took his shades off. He had no eyes!
"WHAT THE HE...." Taker yelled, but he was paralized!
"Remember boy, remember being a boy!" Viper's voice echoed. Next thing Taker knew, he was looked at a young Kane, Kane looked to be 7 years old.
"Come on! You promised to play with me!" Kane's 7 year old self called.
"Not now, can't we play some other time?" Taker replied.
"DAD!" Kane yelled.
"Play with your brother!" Paul called back, Taker was playing catch when he saw his mother come out.
"Boys, snacks!"
"Alright snacks! Come on before dad eats them all!" Kane called. He got to the plate before Taker, and took a big handful. Paul came out and took the rest. Taker never got a cookie!
"Hey," Kane called, he showed Taker the handful he got, and gave them to Taker. "I couldn't trust dad. Knowing him and his cookie weakness!" Kane smiled.
"Thanks Kane...." Taker took the cookies. And ate.
"You're my brother, I always share!" Kane smiled. The mood in the sky suddenly changed. Taker saw Paul put Kane in the basement, Taker could feel the darkness. That later, swallowed him up...
"Now, wake up!" Viper snapped his fingers, Taker woke up.
"Man, I almost felt like a kid again" Taker whispered.
"I think you're learning what I'm trying to get across to you" laughed Viper.
"What are you trying to get across to me? Who are you really?!" Taker demamded. The gang just smirked at Taker, Undertaker is confused now more than ever!

Issue 16

Undertaker sat on the ground all confused. Who were these bikers? Are they even real bikers? "Ok, who the hell are you!" Taker demanded.
"Ok, we'll tell you. But you won't believe us" said Viper.
"Try me!" Taker shot back. Viper looked away, thinking of the easiest way to explain who he and the other bikers are.
"We were sent here by your mortal mother" Viper said.
"Impossible, she's....."
"Dead, we know" said Jake. "As are we, we come from a place called Hevan. We're part time angels" Viper continued.
"Hevan? Angels? I have never heard of such a thing" Taker said.
"When you stay down in the basement, you miss a lot of things!" laughed Wolfgang.
"Anyway, your mother needs your help" Wolf continued.
"How so? Why me? I was the one that killed her....Oh how I miss her"
"Taker, listen. She knew about the proficy, she knew all along when you were a normal mortal boy. It was a mother instice, they know things that you might think they don't! Anyway, she wants you to help Kane. If Kane doesn't find himslf in this world, he will not rest in peace when he moves on" Viper explained.
"And why should I help Kane? After all what I did to him, I've just learned I cared about him. Why should I interfer in his life? I will just ruin it for him again, I can't do that to him" Taker cried. Viper turned to Jake, he nugged his head to his bike. Jake pulled out volume one of the book of dead. Taker's eyes lit.
"How did you...." Jake dropped the book before Taker.
"Pick it up boy" Viper ordered, Taker hesitated. He remember the cures put on it. "PICK IT UP" Viper yelled. Taker touched the book, and picked it up no problem!
"I...can pick it up!" Taker whispered. "
"You have a heart Taker, how does it feel to have it beating?" asked Viper. Taker smiled.
"Magnificent! How far are we to the arena?" Taker asked.
"4 more miles" said Stinky.
"Let's go! I got a score to settle with an old friend!" Taker and the others got on the bikes, They got to the arena for Judgement day. "Viper thank you" Taker said.
"No problem boy. But a word of warning, there is a proficy. When a heart beats in a deadman's body, he will be hurt in different ways. No punches maybe thrown, but he will be knocked down by actions. A monster will appear, and blood can only stop blood from tainting" Viper explained. Taker turned his back for a second.
"When will this...." When he looked back to see the gang, they were gone! The frist book of dead was on the ground, same with Viper's navy blue bandana. Taker picked both of them up. "Don't worry Momma, I'll steer him right this time. So SAYS THE UNDERTAKER!"

Issue 17

As Taker walked in the arena, he saw Bull Buchannon and the Big Bossman talking. Bossman saw Taker and smiled.
"Well, well, well. Look at what the deadman got, a new wordrow?" laughed Bossman. Taker smirked.
"Yeah, pritty much" Taker replied.
"Did you like the way we bashed Kane's hand? Oh, I'm sure you could have done better" laughed Bull.
"As a matter of fact I could, you should have thrown him into something hard. For an example a wall.....LIKE THIS!" Taker grabbed Bull and rammed his head into the wall. "Or you could have thrown him....LIKE THIS!" Taker grabbed Bossman and threw him half way across the lot. He took Bull's handcuffs and cuffed Bull and Bossman together.
"Then, you should have chased him off....like this" Taker left. Bull and Bossman felt dizzy and they managed to get up.
"What the hell..." studdered Bossman, as a light got brighter and brighter down the lot. They began to run as Taker was trying to run them over! They managed to jump on the back of a truck, Taker circled them like a hungry shark.
"Now, if I catch you boys doing that again to my brother. I won't miss!" Taker said angerly. He rode the bike down to the ramp, the ramp led to the ring. And the Rock was defending his title aginst Triple H in an iron man match. D-X was beating up the Rock. "Time to pay my dues" Taker whispered to himself, suddenly Kid Rock's American Bad A$$ played. "Probably Viper's work" Taker smirked, he rode down to the ring. And took everyone by surpise as he HELPED the Rock. Although the Rock didn't win, Taker felt like he did the right thing. He got his hands on X-Pac for harming Kane, and took out Tori for breaking Kane's heart.

When Taker got to the locker room, no one said anything. Vince wasn't there, which was a good thing. Taker probably would have put Vince through the floor. McMahon was busy tending to his sorry excuse of a son in law, Triple H. Mideon went up to Taker.
"Taker!" he called, Taker slowly turned to face Mideon.
"Where is Kane?" Taker demanded.
"Paul took him, he's hurt" Mideon explained.
"I like the new look, and The bike reeks of Awsomeness!" said Mideon. Taker shot an odd stare at him.
"Reeks of Awsomeness?" Taker asked.
"Edge and Christain made that up. They are full of themselves as of late, ever since they left Gangrel" Mideon explained.
"It's amazing to see how things change, don't you think?"
"Taker.....What is with you? You seem....different!" Mideon asked. Taker smiled.
"Why thanks. Mideon, don't be afraid to hide what you want. I say if it feels good, do it" Taker replied and walked away. Although the advise Taker gave Mideon was good, Mideon was going to take it...very seriouslly. (Thus explains the mistery of Naked man Mideon!)

Issue 18

A few months have past since Taker got his heart beating again, he has been teaming with Kane as of late. Taker has never felt this feeling in a very long time. He...His brother..fisghting as one. Taker just entered the arena in Chicogo He was really liking the bikes, when something caught his eye. He turned to see 3 black souls, they were in human form as jobbers. But not to Taker. "Gentalmen!" Taker called. Causing them to attack. Taker held his own for a moment, Kane ran in and got rid of all three with a single fireball. He helped Taker up. Kane has dicovered his voice.
"You ok?" Kane asked.
"Fine Kane....Fine" Taker replied brushing himself off. Kane looked at his brother oddly.
"Why didn't you fight them?" he asked. Taker remembered Kane doesn't know he is mortal.
"I...we protecting the book of death!" he replied. Kane crossed his arm, not buying it. "I lost my footing! It happens!" Taker growled and walked away. As Taker left, Kane went to his locker room, and pulled out the second book. Kane read it, and it informed him of what happened to Taker. The entire proficy had changed thanks to the Embalmer.
"He is mortal....which makes me more powerful than him!" Kane said to himself, he put the book away to hide it on his brother.

Later that night on Raw.
Taker was facing Chris Benoit, but thanks to Shane McMahon, he was out numbered. Till Kane came out. Kane cleared the ring, and helped Taker up. Taker was about to thank Kane...till Kane put him through the ring! "I know now! I know you are a mortal!" I growled at his brother, and left the arena on Taker's bike. Taker moned in pain.
"Damn mortal pain....Kane! Kane! You will pay for that!" Taker moned.

Issue 19

Taker has tried to get to Kane every chance he could. But eventually. McMahon got wind of it, and make a fight at Summer Slam! Taker knew one thing Kane couldn't stand. That is the world seeing his face. Taker read the book he had and it stated.
*With the mask gone, the monster will run back into the darkness*
"So it is written, so it shall be done!" Taker whsipered to himself before the match. When the match started. Kane knew he had an advantage. He wasn't mortal... Taker was! But Taker clearly dominated powers or no power. When Kane's mask came off. Taker held it up. And Kane ran. "You will understand soon brother...very soon" Taker whispered.

2 weeks before the Royal Rumble.
Taker was in a lot of matches. And for some reason Kane kept helping him. Make Taker abit confuse. With one night on Raw, Taker got help from Kane in his match...and Kane was one of his opponets! Taker did confront Kane on his current actions. Kane simply replied. "We need each other" . Taker was feeling the effects of what he has been doing in the ring, he was getting hurt more often. Kane notice it.
"Brother..." Kane told him before leaving. "We have a day off tomorrow. We are to sign autographs...wanna come with me?" he asked. Taker nodded.
"I'll be there!" he replied.

Issue 20

They were in a crowed parking lot, kids and adults of all ages came to see Taker and Kane. "What little they know...huh Brother?" Kane asked.
"I know!" Taker replied looking away to who he was sighing the autograph to. When he looked back a blond woman stood in front of him. Taker was shocked.
"Take?" Kane called. "You who!" Kane called. He slapped the back of Taker's head.
"Ow! What the hell was that for!" Taker roared. The woman giggles at Taker. Taker looked back to her, and Kane saw blush come across his brother's face!
"I'm Sara" said the woman, she looked across the street, and was shock. Taker looked as well...a dark soul headed their way! Kane stood up.
"I got it" he whispered. Taker stood up.
"LADIES AND GENTALMEN, DOES MY BROTHER HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU! HE IS GONNA SHOW YOU HIS POWER AND STRENGTH! NOTHING COMPARED TO ANY NORMAL MAN! WATCH!" Taker pointed to Kane who just tomestoned the drak soul. Sara sighed with relife.
"I thought I was the only one!" she whsipered. Taker wrote his number down.
"I want to know you better" he stated, she smiled and took the number. He saw her with 3 small boy..he just gave his number to a married woman! Kane looked back at his brother laughing. "WHAT!" Taker demanded.
"You blushed! You are getting comfortable being a mortal aren't you?" Kane asked.
"I think I am....but I would Kill to have my powers back!" he sighed. Kane and Taker finished the session and were about to leave.
"I will be right back brother....I need to do something" Kane stated and left. Taker didn't have the foggiest to where Kane was going...or what he was gonna do!

Issue 21

Kane had set out on his own for a moment, following the woman to a wood furnatur shop, he walked in and saw the 3 boys gun to a older woman. "Grandma!" they cheered. "We got to see Taker, and Kane!" they yelled, the woman looked up. And saw Kane at the door.
"Is he one of them?" she asked.
"Grandma, we saw them at the autograph tent!" said one. But the turned to see Kane. Kane waved his arm infront of the boys and grandmother, and they fell to sleep. Sara was shocked.
"Who the hell are you! What did you do to them!" she demanded.
"They are only sleeping...you saw the dark soul at the session?" Kane asked, she nodded. "And my brother gave you his number right?" Again, Sara nodded. "Are you married?" he asked.
"No...No good guys out there! But there was something about Taker....Something...I can't even put it in words!" she replied.
"That's what most girls say about him. He wants a family. and by the way he looked at you...I think he wants you!" Kane stated.
"Me? I just sell this stuff!" she said as she spred her arms around the room for enthesis. "Why would a man like Taker want me?" she asked.
"Simple.....You are the one that speaks to him the most. You see...Taker has never blushed in front of anyone!"
"Never? I find that hard to believe!" she replied.
"Thinks aren't always what they seem Sara....I know that as a fact. Call him, and give him a chance. He needs someone, and I think you are the one he needs" Sara turned for a moment.
"I don't know Kane....Kane?" she looked back. Kane was gone. But the door wasn't open, and the bells always ring when someone walks in...or leaves. The elderly woman and her children woke up.
"See Grandma...you were just seeing things!" laughed one of the boys.
"What do you mean?" Sara asked.
"She thought she saw Kane!" said the oldest....

Issue 22

Taker was in his hotel room he was sharing with Kane, Kane walked back inside, and Taker swore. Kane was smiling. "Alright, What's with the silent treatment!" Taker demanded,
"You will see soon enought!" Kane replied. The phone raned. Taker answered it. "Hello?"
"Taker?....It's Sara" she said.
"Sara?" he asked.
"Yes, we met at the auto...
"I rememeber. What are you calling me about?" he asked.
"Would you like to go out tonight? For some coffee?" she asked. Taker's eyes widen, he was being asked out on a date!
"I...I...I would love to!" he replied.
"Great, see you at the dance club!" she replied and hung up, Taker slowly hung up as well.
"Kane....tell me everything that you learned from Jezabelle!" Taker deamnded.
"First, no nic names till the relationship gets serious! Second, never make the first move unless she is showing signals!" Kane stated.
"Signals? What signals do mortal women show?" he asked.
"It differs!" Kane stated.
"I am so screwed!

Issue 23

At the dance club....
Taker sat at a table waiting for Sara to arrive. He wore his tank top, Blue jeans as well as black leather over coat and a bandanna. "Hey" Taker looked up from his drink, it was Sara. Wearing almost the same thing. Black tank top...Blue jeans but no coat. "Care to dance? I love this song!" she asked.
"Dance? I don't dance!" he replied. It was Limp's Rollin'. Sara didn't take no for an answer, She pulled Taker off his seat and into the dancing crowd. She stared to jump around abit, and waved her arms to the music. Taker tried to mimic her, but felt rediculous!
"Here, tries this!" She stated, She moved hims arms around, and then started to do a fast track mosh tango! Taker caught on quickly, and accually smiled. People stood back as they continued to dance till the song was over! Then then sat down and had a drink. "You're pritty good! You danced like a man possessed!" she laughed.
"What makes you think I wasn't?" Taker asked. Sara smiled.
"You have a really nice smile Taker.....why don't you do that more often?"
"Smiling?....I never felt like I had anything to smile about!" he replied.
"Oh really?" she asked, she bagan to lean closer. Taker assumed this was a signal women send. So he followed along! "Yeah....I have never really been the same since I lost something" he explained.
"Was it a family member?" she asked.
"I lost them a long time ago!"
"But you still have Kane!" she stated. "I mean, he seems like a nice guy! Probably gets that from you" she smiled. Taker smirked back.
"Kane and I get along as well as water and oil at times, we may seem close now...but it can always cahnge...usually by next week!"
"I still don't see why Kane has a grudge against you!" she stated. Taker looked around.
"Can we talk alone?" he asked, Sara nodded, they left the dance club and walked outside, They walked down a dark street. "Sara...there is something you need to know about me!"
"Really? What?" she asked. They stopped in front of a dark alley, till farmiller hisses came from the shadows.
"The slayer! The slayer of the master!" it was a small army for dark souls! About 8 of them! Taker put his arm out to block and protect Sara. "Undertaker......is mortal!" hissed one.
"He can be killed!" hissed another.
"Sara..run! RUN!" he yelled.

Issue 24

Taker and Sara ran from the dark souls. He has never ran from a fight. But this time he had to make an exception. The souls chased them. "Taker! What are they talking about!" she asked.
"I am the lord of darkness! I am the rightfull ruler of the prisom of hell! I wasn't mortal from before!" he said as they ran. They ran across a graveyard, Sara had to stop to catch her breath.
"I...Can't run...anymore" she huffed.
"We have to keep going!" Taker yelled, He grabbed Sara's arm. there was an open crypt. "In here!" he ordered. In the crypt was an open casket, nothing was inside. He let Sara in first, and he followed. He shut the lid.
"What good will this do?!" she whispered.
"Dark souls can't see anything or sence anything through holy wood, this casket was blessed at a funeral!" Taker whispered, the crypt door bursted open.
"He musssst be here!" hiss the leader. Sara held onto Taker tightly, Taker oddly enough was enjoy it! Sara holding him that is! When he heard the souls leave, he was about to open the lid.
"NO!" Sara cried. "I don't want to face them again!" Taker kept the lid shut.
"You want to stay in here?" he asked, she nodded. And cuddled into his chest. "Ok....ok girl, you go it!" he replied, both of them fell asleep.
Taker was woken up by an odd sound, the lid was being ripped open. He held onto Sara tight incase they were found by the dark souls. But to his relif, it was his brother. Kane.
"Mind not scaring the hell out of me!" Taker whispered angerly. Sara was still asleep.
"Aaaaawww!" Kane smirked as he saw Sara cuddled into Taker. "I wasn't disterbing anything was I?" he asked.
"Shut up Kane!" Taker growled. Sara woke up, she was shocked to see Kane standing there.
"Take a picture, it lasts longer!" she growled.
"A match made!" Kane snickered to himself. Kane helped his brother out and Sara.
"Taker....about last night?" she asked.
"I know...I will get out of your life" he replied.
"No...I want you in my life!" she stated. "Taker....I love you!" she said.

Issue 25

2 months later....
Taker and Sara slept side by side after a long and stressful wedding day! They were on their honeymoon, Kane tagged along, but stayed in the room next to them. Kane was readin the 2 books of death, when he suddenly felt something drop on the bed. He turned to see another book, nothing like the books of death...it was an ivory white. Kane opened it. "For one to have powers fully restored, give up live, and love no more!" Kane read to himself. He thought for a moment, and realized.
"Taker must give up Sara...to get his powers back?" he asked himself, he was going to show Taker in the morning, but read more.
"Powers that are needed, can be granted to. One linked by blood, and powers will come through" the book stated.
"I am not ment to understand this stuff!" Kane muddered, but thought again. "Unless....Taker can have his powers back...if I give him mine....But I must bleed?" Kane pondered. He closed the ivory book, and set it on the bed. "I will tell Taker in the morning, But for now.....he should enjoy his honeymoon." Kane put the books away, and went down to the bar. He saw dark souls all over the place, yet pretended not to notice, one approched him.
"Kane?" it asked.
"Who wants to know?" Kane replied.
"I want to inform you something....since you are the only family member in Taker's family with powers, you rule the prison of hell!" he stated. Kane turned to the creature.
"That is not my agenda!" Kane growled.
"Maybe it should be!" the creature replied...

Issue 26

Back in Taker and Sara's room.
Taker cuddled up close to Sara, he never knew mortals could express themselves so deeply. He was for the first time...happy. "Taker...." Sara whispered.
"Yes?" he asked.
"I think we need to get you a name" she stated.
"I got one! I am the Undertaker!" he replied.
"Some how I don't this. Mrs Undertaker, lord of darkness would fit on a marrage license!" Sara smiled. Taker smiled at the comment. "What name would you like?" she asked. Taker thought long and hard about it.
"Mark!" he stated.
"Mark...I like it...any your last name?" she asked.
"Grave?" he asked, Sara shook her head. "Coffen?" he asked, again, Sara shook her head.
"How about...Callaway?" she asked. Taker throught about it.
"Callaway?....I think I like it!" he replied and kissed Sara's neck.

Back downstairs....
"Kane...think about it!" hissed the dark soul in Kane's ear. Kane push him down.
"Listen...my life is my own business! You can shut up or I can make sure you will never speak again!" Kane growled. The soul back off.
"I was just saying...Lord Kane" the soul replied and left. Lord Kane kept echoing in Kane's ears, it was something he had always wanted to hear....yet, it didn't sound right.
"What good is a lord when he is the ruler of the darkest evil in the world. What good would it be to me? What life would it be?" he pondered.
"You never know Kane!" Kane was shocked when he turned to face Paul. He was grinning from ear to ear...not to mention slimmer!
"Paul" Kane stated.
"Son, I want to talk to you about your brother!"
"What about him?" Kane asked as he sat back down at the bar.
"Oh sir! 2 brandies!" Paul called. "We are gonna need them!"

Issue 27

The night flew by as Kane and Paul talked about Taker. "Taker must have his powers back, he must Kane!" Paul stated.
"I am trying father, but if he were to get his powers back..he will never love again" Kane explained, Paul was confused.
"Kane, what's so wrong about that?" he asked.
"He married" Kane stated, Paul dropped his drink in pure shock. "A woman named Sara, she sees dark souls as well! I think they are a perfact match!" Kane explained.
"THIS IS TERRIBLE!" Paul screeched. "He has lost his killer instince for good! It's now only you Kane...and you alone can stop these dark souls!" Paul said.
"I don't care....If it gives me the chance to have the family I wanted...I will do it! Hell. I may become an uncle!" Kane smiled behind his mask as he took a sip of his brandy.
"Oh Kane....I pray if that were to happen, it would happen soon!" Paul stated.

Back up in Taker's room.
Taker and Sara were settling in for the night, when the window of their room shattered. They woke up in pure shock to see dark souls! "AAAAHHHHH!" Sara screamed.
"Oh look at thisssss!" Hissed one.
"Taker and a mortal!....smell that?" asked another, they smelt the air. "Ah yesss, I reconize that ssssmell!"
"Leave her alone! It's me you want!" Taker bellowed,
"No, it isn't!" said the leader. "It's her!" it pointed to her.
"Sara?" he asked.
"Yesss, the one with the Undertaker's seed!" Sara looked at Taker oddly, and Taker looked back.
"You get the hell out of here! You will get to her over my dead body!" Taker yelled.
"With pleasure!" the dark souls hissed, and attacked!.....

Issue 28

Taker whipped on his bath robe and did the best he could to fight the dark souls off, they slashed him across the chest, he was begining to bleed. *Kane....I need you!* Taker thought. Hoping Kane could feels his brother was in danger...

Back downstairs.
A sharp pain entered Kane's mind. "Take...Taker!" he yelled and ran up the stiars, Paul followed
"Kane! Wait for me!" Bearer yelled.

In Taker's room.
Taker was knocked to the floor with a force. The souls were approching Sara. "SSSsssshe issss going to taste good!" smirked one soul. The door burst open, and Kane ran in. He knocked all the soul down. Kane got cut across his arm by one of their claws. But still managed to fight. Taker got back up and began to snap each and every one of their necks! Kane turned some to ashes. Taker then colapsed on the floor. Kane went to his brother's aid, and remembered the passage in the book. Kane had a cut on his hand, and he saw Taker's slash marks on his chest.
"Taker. Let me try something" Kane asked. Taker looked at Kane.
"What is it....that you want to try?" Taker huffed. Kane put his cut over Taker's and their blood mixed.
"Kane! I hope you know what you are doing!" Paul screeched. Taker felt an odd sensation enter him, he felt his wounds heal, and something surging, the surge felt farmiller. Sara put on her robe to check her husband. Taker sat up suddenly!
"Kane....my powers!" Taker smirked.
"Powers?" Sara asked.
"Yes Sara, before I became Mortal, I had these powers!" Taker explained. But he remembered something. "Now...I can go claim what is mine. But..." Taker stopped.
"BUT WHAT! YOU GOT YOUR POWERS!" Pual screeched.
"I don't want it anymore!" Taker said. "All I want...is Sara!" he replied. A sudden sound hit the floor, Taker and Kane looked, it was another ivory coloured book! This time it had II on it. Taker opened it, and read.
"What does it say?" Sara asked.
"The child of the Undertaker, is the key to the fight. If raised to be good, he will have a long life. If darkness swollows his soul, this child will die, and live no more!" Taker looked at Kane. "Kane....I am going to be a father" Taker stated.

Issue 29

"A father.....you?" Paul laughed. Kane and Taker stared down Paul Bearer, Paul then shut his mouth.
"Kane, I am going to be a father, and now. I have dragged Sara into this!" Taker said.
"Taker. Please tell me what is going on?" Sara pleeded. Taker was quiet surprised she was still standing in the same room as him, after all that had just happened.
"Dark souls are going to try to take you from me, they want the child that is in you. You are pregenet!" Taker explained. Sara was smiling!
"A baby? I have always wanted to be a mother!" she gushed.
"It's not that simple! The child in you is mine. He or she will have my powers! If that happens, dark souls everywhere will want my child. I can't let that happen!" Taker roared.
"It won't! My nease or Nephew is in danger! I am not gonna give them up without a fight! I want to hear a little voice call me Uncle Kane!" Kane shot back. Taker looked at Sara and back at his brother.
"We shall do better than that!" Taker stated. He looked at Sara again, she smiled and nodded approval. "Kan, we want you to be the godfather of our child!" Taker said proudly. Kane smiled behind the mask.
"I accept!" he smiled.
"Taker! Doesn't you child need to be baptized for them to have a godfather?" Paul asked.
"Yes Paul" Taker stated. "And that's what we are going to do! It will protect them!" Taker shot back. Paul fell back and fainted.
"He is taking this well!" Sara laughed.
"We need to leave, but. Where do we go?" Kane asked.
"Well...There is a ranch in Texas I have had my eyes on" Taker muddered.
"Taker, That sounds great!" Sara replied with a smiled. Taker looked back at his wife.
"Ok. Let's move before those hell spawn return!" Taker announced. Kane had to carry Paul out of the hotel, as they made their way to the airport to head off to Texas!

Issue 30

3 months have past now. Taker and Sara have brough the ranch that was in Texas. Kane has started to live with them for the time being. Kane has looked for a home himself in Knoxville. Sara was coming along nicly. Taker was happy that he hasn't see a dark soul in a long while. Kane had been helping Taker with his new bikes. 3 Harleys. He was building and fixing them.
"Taker?" Kane asked as he tuned up one of the Harlys.
"Yeah?" Taker asked.
"If you were to have a son...what would his name be?" Kane asked. Taker stopped what he was doing, and thought about it.
"Damn Kane, that's a good question!" he smiled. "I always liked the name Decada. But Sara like Courage" he stated.
"Courage.....I like that. Little Courage, I think there's your winner. But...what if it was a girl?"
"Kane....why are you so interested in baby names suddenly?!" Taker demanded.
"Well.....I hope to be a father some day to you know! Settle down and have a family" Kane's mind was wondering off. Taker smirked at his little brother, he has an idea for his future. and it's a bright future. Sara walked in with drinks for the boys.
"My Sara..you're getting to be as big as a house!" Kane smiled at his sister in law.
"Is it that noticable?" she asked.
"I am only teasing you!" Kane replied. "But you are taking good care of yourself!" Kane pointed out.
"I am finding it hard to get up in the morning....what's that smell?" she asked as if she was going to be ill.
"It's oil" Taker stated. Sara ran out of the gurage and into the house.
"Her sences are really off the charts!" Kane stated as he sipped the lemonade Sara brought out.
"I know...you know what this means?" Taker asked. Kane looked at his brother.
"No....What...." Kane suddenly saw a look in Taker's eyes. "Oh no!.....NONONONONONONONO!" Kane shot back.
"Come on Kane! Just untill the baby is born!" Taker pleeded.
"Ok! Ok.....I will be Sara's little servent!" Kane muddered.
"Thanks Kane! I know she is in great hands, when you are with her!" Taker stated and patted Kane on the back.

Issue 31

When Sara became 4 months. She was signing up for child birth lessons. But had one problem. Taker was on the road to fill in for Kane. Sara had a bright idea. It was Lunch time and She and Kane were having a rather large lunch. Kane got suspicous.
"Ok...what do you want?!" Kane asked his sister in law.
"Whatever do you mean brother?" she replied with sweetness in her voice. Kane put his fork down and looked at Sara. "Ok. I signed up for child birth lessons and breathing exercises. They strongly suggest you bring the father to be. Since Taker isn't here......" She gazed at Kane. Kane was rather shock.
"WHAO! You want me!.....to go with you....and...learn about child birth!" Kane demanded.
"yes. Please?!" she asked. Kane rolled is eys. He looked at his sister in law and ate his lunch.
"Fine" Kane whispered.
"Pardon?" Sara asked.
"I said Fine! I will go. But breath a word of this to anyone!" Kane growled.
"Ok! Ok! I will not say a word!" Sara replied with a smile.

Meanwhile....
"YOU GOT KANE TO GO WHAT!" Taker roared with laughter over the phone.
"He is going to take me to my breathing lessons!" Sara stated.
"Sara...I admire you girl! You got Kane to go with you!"
"We haven't gone yet! Kane is getting ready! I gave him some normal clothing he should wear!" she replied. Taker couldn't help but creak up.
"Kane in normal clothing...now you are asking too much of him!"
"Taker!" Sara scolded. "Anyway. I have to go. Bye!" Sara hung up as Kane walked down the stairs. He wore Taker's Blue jeans and a shirt saying 'I'm a daddy'
"I feel like a geek!" Kane muddered. Sara smiled.
"No. You look like a father! Come one. Let's go!" Sara called as she tugged Kane's huge arm. Kane unwillingly followed along!

Issue 32

Sara and Kane walked into the class room, men and women stared at the odd couple. "They are staring at me!" Kane muddered.
"They are jelouse!" Sara whispered back. they took a seat on the padded floor. The teacher walked in.
"Greatings. I am Mrs. Jane. I will be teaching you....and my...we have an interesting bunch!" she stated as she caught a glimps at Kane and Sara.
"We will begin the breathing!" she instructed. Sara was practising her breathing, when Kane noticed dark souls entering the room, the teacher looked up.
"May I help you gentalmen?" she asked, they were looking at Kane and Sara.
"We need to speak to Mr and Mrs Callaway!" said one of them.
"Oh, they are right here!" Kane turned to see the dark souls walk forward. Kane shot up off his spot ready to fight. Sara turned to see what was going on, and was shocked!
"Kane! Not here!" she whispered. Sara grabbed Kane's arm, but saw the fire in his hand...oddly enough the fire vanished!
"What the hell!" Kane demanded shocked to see his flame gone! Sara stood up, and hid behind Kane.
"Something wrong...Kane?" hissed one of the dark souls. Sara studdenly stepped forward and blasted the men with fire! Sara had take Kane's powers!

Issue 33

As the room emptied with screaming people. Sara was shocked to what had happened to the dark souls, there was nothing left of them. But Ashes! Kane stared at Sara. "What did you do to me?" Kane asked.
"I...was scared. I wanted you to stop, I grabbed your hand, and your powers...got in me!" she explained. Sara put her hand on Kane's shoulder and his powers returned.
"Sara...I think I know what those souls are after you! You can drain powers from anyone! They must have the Embalmer's body, and they want you to give birth to him!"
"What do you mean?" Sara demanded.
"They want you to rencarnate the Embalmer. The man that nearly killed my brother, half sister and I" Kane replied.
"You have a half sister?" she asked.
"Yes. But I suggest we leave now!" Kane replied as he and Sara left by the fire exit.

Meanwhile, at the Embalmer's castle....
Dark souls crowed the body of their fallen master. They have the last book of death. But were unable to open the book. One tried, but was burnt doing so. "There mussssst be another way!" hissed one.
"Yesssss, we need the woman. Taker's bride! She must bring back master Embalmer!" hissed another.
"But she is under Kane's watchful eye!" hissed the leader.
"Yes, true....but. What about the half sister? Jezabelle?" asked one.
"She....she is no longer on this realm! She has claimed what has been needed to claimed. the prisom of hell...is under her watch!" The leader bellowed.
"We must get Sara!"
"We must!"

Back at Taker's ranch.
"Kane, we need to tell Taker" Sara cried.
"He know already, He cannot do anything to prevent this. Worst of all, this is your main defence against any danger!" Kane stated.
"Is it?" she asked, "But how!"
"You are Taker's bride. You have a small bit of his power, it was a wedding gift to you" Kane replied.
"Why didn't he tell me?"
"He wanted to protect you" kane replied. "In the mean time, we need to lie low for a while. Who knows who could be coming after you!" Kane stated as he shut the blinds...

Issue 34

Weeks have past now. Taker was in New York getting ready for a show. The phone ranged. "Hello?" Taker asked.
"Take...it's Kane!"
"Little bro! How's it going?" Taker asked, there was silents. "Kane, what's wrong? Is Sara ok?!"
"She is fine. She took my powers" Kane whispered. Taker sat there stunned. Kane on the other hand was watching Sara nod off to sleep. "Taker, she needs to be trained on the powers!"
"Kane, we can't do that till the baby is born!" Taker replied. There was a knock at the door. It was the Acolytes. They pointed to their watches.
"Take. Aren't ya coming to the bar?" asked Bradshaw. Taker waved them off.
"Kane, I am gonna be home soon ok. Hang tight and do leave the ranch unless it's absolutly nessassary!" Taker stated.
"I understand Taker" Kane replied and hung up. Taker gazed in the coner of his locker room, lost on what to do. And what to tell Sara.

Meanwhile....
Outside of the ranch, someone was looking into the house. "So....this is Sara?....I see why she has been so...busy!" the voice said to himeslf. He saw Kane walk up to the window. Almost swearing Kane saw him, Kane was looking right at him!

Back inside.
"Kane...what's wrong?" Sara asked before falling completly asleep.
"Nothing Sara. You get your rest. I am gonna stay up for a while." Kane replied, Sara fell back asleep. "I know you are out there. But you aren't gonna get to Sara....not now...not ever!" Kane whispered to himself.

Back at the Bar in New York.....
Taker was shooting his game of pool when a strange man walked in. The WWF roster knew who he was. "Care to introduce me?" Taker asked.
"He's Dimond Dallas Page Of WCW." explained Chris Jericho. "Bad news!"
"Really?" Taker asked. "How bad?"
"Nothing compared to you of course Deadman!" Chris smirked. DDP turned when he heard Deadman.
"Deadman.....is that what you are going by these days dark lord?" he asked. The bar went silent. "That's right! I know who you are. And I know who Kane is!"
"Just how do you know so much?" Taker shot back as he sunk the 8 ball to beat Edge for the 12th time straight.
"I like to do my home work....and I know what's in store for you!" DDP smirk. He had his drink and walked out. Taker had a bad feeling about him.
"Like I said. Bad new!" Jericho whispered.

Issue 35

Taker was getting nervouse. Edgie if you will. And each time he saw DDP, he couldn't help but think what was going on in his crazed mind. Only Page would know that for sure. Page would go off on his own and come back hours later. Grinning about something. No one knew what. Only DDP!
Where he went...was a whole different story! Page has discovered the Dark souls, he has visited them. And they were more than happy to share what they know. But his last visit was different. "We have a job for you Dallasssss" hissed the leader.
"I'm listening" Page stated.
"We want Sara. Taker's wife, she is going to bring back our leader! The Embalmer, but we need Undertaker's unborn child! We want you to get Kane out of the way, and bring us Sara!"
"What's in it for me?" Page asked.
"You can have Sara when we are through!" said one soul. DDP's eyes shot open, and looked at the creatures.
"I.....can have Sara?" he asked. They nodded.
"Yessss. She must not be harmed! We need her alive to tend to our reborn master!" the leader stated. DDP smirked.
"Gentlme.....I mean....creatures. I will do just that. You leave it to me...DDP!"

Back at the arena.

Taker sat in his locker room, focused. He knew something was going down, and it was gonna happen soon. For one thing. Page wasn't here. Which made Taker on full alert. We started the show off for RAW, When the titan tron showed a video.
"Undertaker. Is this...your wife?" a strange voice asked. It showed Sara lying by the pool. "And are you going to be a father...Undertaker?" the voice asked again. Kane walked out. "Oh look. Kane! What a nice treat for Sara. Kane as a brother in law. And Taker for a husband, she must feel lucky. But she won't be. She will go to where she belongs Taker. She will fill the proficy, that was made for her. Taker, she is gonna be mine!" The voice stopped when Kane was looking right in the direction of the camera.
"Ah Kane. Not as dumb as he looks huh? I didn't exspect anything less from the Lord of fire! That right Taker. You maybe the Lord of Darkness. Kane is the Lord of fire! As for your child....let's say. Your child will be like an old friend of yours. I believe his name is the....Embalmer!" The camera stopped rolling. Taker ran out of the ring and to the back.
"Taker!" yelled the Acolytes.
"NOT NOW! I MUST GET TO SARA!" Taker roared back.

Issue 36

As soon as Taker got home. He found Kane next to Sara. Sara was crying in his arms. "Who could be doing this?" she cried. Kane did his best to comfort his sister in law. But nothing worked.
"Sara..." Taker called. Sara shot off the couch and ran to Taker and cried.
"Taker. I am so scared! Who could be doing this!"
"I don't know. But I will find out!" Taker replied. Taker then stared at Kane. "Kane. You are the lord of fire?" Taker asked.
"What?" Kane demanded.
"That voice that video tape Sara. Said you are the lord of fire. What is that about?"
"I don't know Taker. I haven't read in the proficies about me being the lord of fire!"
"Taker, don't leave me. Please, I don't want to be alone!" Sara cried. Taker nodded.
"I won't...don't worry!" Taker replied and kissed Sara's forehead.

Meanwhile.....
"Page, you did well....nothing is more paranoid than a worried Taker!" smirked the leader of the dark souls.
"What can I saw. I love what I do! Now about Sara?" he asked.
"Yess....her...We must have her tonight. If not, we will never have our master back!"
"You leave it to me...DDP! I will distract Taker. You get the big red idiot and Sara." Page stated.
"Yesss. This will take place tomorrow!" the leader hissed.
