Epilouge
27 years later.
Kane and Taker were sitting in the board room going over some last minute changes to one of the shows, neither knowing that it would the last time they did so together. They had retired at Wrestlemania that year, neither one having the heart to go on. They accepted the positions that Vince had been offering them and slowly and surely they managed to finally achieve what they had been working for. Taker continued to train Dallas and watched as he stepped up to become one of the big dogs in the locker room, proving that the old way of earning respect was still the best. After every Wrestlemania both brothers would head to her grave and tell her everything that had happened, after that they would head to her grandfathers grave and do the same thing.
Taker had been at a house show in Oklahoma making sure that everything ran smoothly. Halfway through the show he collapsed without warning. Even though the ambulance had gotten there quickly, he died in route to the hospital. Back at Titan Tower Kane was approving the lay out for that years Wrestlemania when he too collapsed. He died in the hospital despite attempts to revive him. Dallas had stepped up as next of kin and had them buried next to his sister, one on each side. The plain headstone that had been there was replaced by one Jeff designed. At the bottom was the burning urn and the smoke curled up and formed their faces, forever frozen in loving gazes as they looked at one another. Along the top in Gothic letter were the words:
Together in life for a short time, but united in love for an eternity.
Those present morned the loss of two great men, but those closest to them celebrated the end of their misery. They left the cemetery with no doubt that Twisted, Taker and Kane were together, and even though they hurt; they smiled through the tears.

"Where am I?" Taker groaned as he felt a warm breeze blow over him.
He sat up slowly and looked around, he was in a meadow. A mumbled curse from his left had him leaping to his feet. Kane was sprawled out next to him, only he was young again. His chestnut hair was spread across his face and his body was back to fighting fit. Taker took a deep breath, squeezing his eyes closed as he grabbed a lock of his own hair. He cracked on eye open and looked at it. It was the deep auburn of his youth. He stretched his arms out and looked down at them in amazement. The scars that he had lived with, that he had used to define himself, were gone. All that was left were the tattoos that he had gotten to cover them.
"Mark?" Kane had sat up by then and was looking around confusedly.
"Yea Glen?"
"Where are we?"
"I don't know."
"Well, well, well. Look who we have here Eddie."
Both men jumped and turned to look at who had spoken. Chris and Eddie were standing off to one side and grinning at them.
"I was wondering when we would be seeing you two." Eddie said as he bounced on the balls of his feet.
"Chris? Eddie?" Taker said, not wanting to believe his eyes.
"In the spirit." Chris answered with a bow.
"Where are we." Kane demanded as he got to his feet.
"You're home."
Kane turned to his right and stopped dead in his tracks. Twisted was standing before them in a white gown, her hair pulled back in an octopus clip with tendrils framing her face.
"Rae?" He whispered as he started towards her.
She nodded and tears sprang to her eyes as Kane scooped her up and held her tight. Taker was close behind and as the three embraced a wind picked up and fog swirled about them. As Chris and Eddie watched the three of them the fog swallowed them and drifted away, leaving no evidence that they had even been there. With a deep sigh Chris turned away and started walking back into the mist he called home. Even though he would never be able to find eternal peace, he was thankful that those three would not be wandering the after life looking for their eternal rest.
Eddie followed silently, tears springing as it dawned on him that the little girl that he had come to think of a daughter was gone now. However he couldn't begrudge her her happiness, so he laughed as let the mist swallow him, leaving the meadow empty as the sun went down on the horizon. However the quiet was shattered a minute later by a deep voice.
"EDDIE, I WANT MY TEN DOLLARS!"
