You’re so sweet, kiss me

Note: so this is a fic I wrote for my dear @drasin, as a part of a monthly membership.

Pair: Kano x Erron Black

Story: Kano sees Erron’s face one day during a mission and he can’t stop thinking about him ever since, especially those lips. He becomes obsessed with kissing Erron, going as far as calling him into the office and pinning him on a wall. However, Erron has more strength over the situation, thus successfully playing with the mercenary. He plans on making Kano work for it if he wants that kiss. However, what the cowboy doesn’t know is that it’s not a good idea to mess with Kano.

Erron was a very mysterious yet interesting lad. A significant thing that keeps this mystery around him is his mask, which he rarely takes off. In fact, he keeps it on so often that those around him can only speculate about his hidden face. What kind of features hide under his mask is unknown, and some people say that one of the reasons is because he is disfigured. The only one who doesn’t care, even if he is curious from time to time, is his boss, Kano, who thinks he is maybe too shy or doesn’t want to get too exposed due to his shady nature.

“We’re all shady bitches here, why he cares?” He thinks on rare occasions.

“Hey Black, it's kinda hot here isn’t it?” Kobra teased, as they were completing a job in the Outworld. Something about killing the new Kahn, which was requested by Mileena. She paid well, in fact twice as much as Kotal had paid them to kill her, so they had to do some spying on the emperor to find a good time to deliver the final blow.

Erron didn’t respond; instead, he focused on cleaning his guns. Kobra was right though; it was a very hot day, and taking off his jacket wasn’t enough, so in one simple motion he removed it and placed it aside. Everyone around him turned their heads to watch him, and to their surprise, he wasn’t disfigured and didn’t have tarkatan teeth either. On the contrary, he was very handsome, and if Kano didn’t care about his face before, he does now.

As expected, he doesn’t have a clean look because of his stubble beard, which covers some old scars slightly. His nose is big and a bit pointy; his jaw is very well defined; and his lips were thin. Chapped as they were because of the heat, they sparked an interest inside Kano, whose attention shifted from the mission to those kissable lips. He couldn’t give a rat's ass about what the emperor was doing as Erron became the target of the day.

As the dawn came and the day approached its end, the team gathered their stuff and headed to their base in Earthrealm.

“Is there any water left?” asked a thirsty Kabal as he put away some weapons. “Yeah, check in that container.” Kira pointed to a dirty gray box.

After drinking a whole bottle, Kabal resumed his task.

While everyone was busy tidying up the scene, Kano was just staring at Erron, who stayed unmasked the entire day. Every single detail was imprinted in his brain, as it was a map to an unknown treasure, and the big, red X was on Erron’s lips. With a lost gaze, he watched the gunslinger cleaning his weapons.

"Hey, where should I put the ammo?” “I don’t know; ask the chief.”

"Hey Kano," The words didn't reach him, and Kano continued to stare at Erron, who was now storing his guns. After placing them with care, he put his mask back on and carried the container to the truck. Kano let out a deep sigh the moment when the mask touched his face, now being able to hear Kabal. Apparently, he wanted some stupid indications.

“I don’t know; find a damn spot. Is it so hard to think on your own?” Pissed off, he stormed out to open the portal so they could finally arrive at their base.

He tried to forget Erron in the following days, but the image of his beautiful, rough face kept appearing in his mind. So, when the torture became unbearable, he came up with an excuse to call him in his office to confess. It didn’t matter if he would have a chance to kiss those lips or not, the important thing is to get the pressure off his chest by being honest for once in his life.

“You wanted to see me, boss?” Erron asked after he walked in. As expected, he was wearing the mask. The good news is that Kano came up with a speech for the gunslinger, the bad news is that he was starting to forget it once Erron walked in, and improv is not his forte.

“Yes, it’s about the last mission.” Kano said while looking at him, using all of his strength to push aside the image of his lips that would constantly appear in his head.

“Oh, did I do something wrong?” He was perplexed, because the previous mission had gone off without a hitch.

“No, I mean yes, but it’s not about the outcome, or your performance at the job, it’s about something you did outside of it.”

Erron tried to make sense of Kano’s weird words for a few seconds.

“You lost me, Kano.” He said he was defeated because he failed to understand his babbling. “Are you high?”

"No, you idiot-“

“You seem high. Oh my God you got high without us, how could you?” He interrupted.

“Just shut up and listen. I am not high, I just have a hard time choosing my words.”

Erron chuckled.

“Don’t tell me you’re anxious.”

Kano gave him a mean look, which made Erron adopt a serious attitude as he cleared his throat. “I’m sorry, please continue."

“Thank you. What I wanted to say is that you did something that’s very unusual for you, and that wasn’t left unnoticed by the rest of us. Hell, I’ve been thinking about it ever since, and that’s why I called you.”

“Oh Kano...” he began, a smirk forming under his mask. “I just wanted to say-“

“Save it, Kano; you don’t have to struggle, it hurts to watch. I know it seems hard at first, but you’ll eventually get that, especially since you’re almost there.”

“So, this means I can kiss you?”

“What? What are you saying?”

“What are you saying?” He asked back with a little bit of doubt and disappointment in his voice.

“I though you were talking about my body, since I worked out harder and started to notice results. Even Kabal noticed, and he was high as fuck.”

“Too many brownies?” He said it with a little chuckle.

“No, he smoked the main ingredient, but that’s not the point. What made you think I was talking about a kiss?”

Kano remained silent. Every second that passed felt like agony as he tried to think of an answer. Besides, he was looking at Erron’s face, as he was desperate to find a clue as to what he was feeling at that moment. His eyes didn’t tell him anything, as they remained half-opened like usual. Unknown to him, however, his smirk was increasing by the second.

“Well, I don’t know...all I wanted to say is that you really turned my world upside-down the moment you removed that damn mask and I got a chance to see how you look like. And I guess I wanted a-“

“Kiss.” Erron helped him finish.

“Yeah”

“So you called me here because you want to kiss me.”

“Yes, but listen if you don’t want-“

“Oh, I don’t mind. To be fair, it’s by far the most normal thing you've asked of me. But I want you to ask me nicely.”

“What?”

Erron tried so hard to keep his composure and not burst into laughter. It's likely the first time Kano has been vulnerable in front of him, so he intends to torture him until he does as he says. He wants to see him beg for that little kiss if it’s possible.

“You heard me, ask me nicely.” Erron said bluntly, pretending to be indifferent.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, I mean, if you don’t want to, then I guess I’ll just go.”

“All for a damn kiss? I asked you to do worse things, and you didn’t ask for a single ‘please’”

"That's true, but this one is personal, as you know," he said as he approached the mercenary, his slightly smaller frame standing in contrast to his larger, rougher one.

“Personal gonna costs extra.” Kano added with a little smirk, because it’s something he used to say often. Erron’s cunning nature was one of the reasons why he recruited him, and as much as he loved that part of him, he only used it during missions and not against him.

“I’m not a nice man, Black.”

“I know, but I want you to try, for me.” He placed a hand on his chest, which made Kano tense immediately. The mercenary got lost in his eyes, and for a few seconds he could see those beautiful lips as if he were unmasked. If it wasn’t for that damn accessory, he would’ve taken the shot and kissed him. Erron probably anticipated that, that’s why he hasn’t removed it.

“You are so mean with me” he said as he cupped his chin. “But I ain’t gonna beg, doll. I get what I want without much struggle, and you know that.”

“Well, you’ll have to work a little harder to get what you want this time, sugar.” With that, he turned around and left, his smirk never fading.

Kano, on the other hand, wanted to choke his crush, but he might never get that kiss if he does. The good thing is that he didn’t say no, so his pride is still intact. On the other hand, he might have to ask Erron nicely, which he might have to consider. 

A few days had passed since their meeting in the office. Both Kano and Erron tried to act normally around each other in order to not raise any suspicions. Desire was growing significantly between them by the day, up to the point when one dirty look would be enough to make them jump onto each other and tear their clothes. However, Erron was holding it together pretty well, being able to hide his desires and play with Kano. The mercenary and leader of the Black Dragon was slowly falling into Black’s game, as his desire was slowly taking over his mind. 

“Come on, take that damn mask off. Let me see you.” He demanded in a needy, yet firm tone to Black, who was pinned against the wall with Kano’s arms around him acting as a cage. His nose was bruising against the gunslinger’s ear, a gentle gesture given to a man who was captive in one’s burning desire. 

“How do you say?” Black teased, not letting the passionate moment overcome his senses. 

“I’ll choke you.” He said it growling.

“Nah, that’s not it.” Erron’s hands were resting on Kano’s waist, caressing his flesh with the same tenderness as the mercenary’s. “Try a little harder.” 

“Fine…would you please remove the damn mask?” 

“Hmmm, that’s more like it.” He said in a satisfied tone, as his hands moved to grab the edges of the mask. Kano was barely blinking at this point, his eyes being fixated on Erron. He hadn't seen him "naked" in so long that he was beginning to forget his face.

Erron placed his mask on a nearest table, revealing his face once more to the mercenary. However, this time it felt more intimate, as he only did it for him, at his request, in the privacy of Kano’s office. 

“Took you long enough.” Kano said, his gaze still on Erron, admiring his features. 

“…hell, he’s even more handsome than before…” he thought to himself.

“Well, this time you knew how to ask.”  

Kano cupped his face, and his thumbs began to caress his cheeks. A smirk appeared on his face, but not his usual devious one, but one of admiration combined with eagerness.  

Erron wasn’t going easy on him. In the past few days, Kano kept trying to make him remove his mask, but he refused every single time. However, he decided it was time to give him a glimpse of his face just to keep Kano worked up; otherwise, he was afraid he might get bored. 

“Beautiful…” he whispered under his breath as he began to lean forward. His face kept coming closer, his eyelids shutting down as his lips tingled in anticipation. He expected to feel Erron's lips press against his any second now.

One can imagine the disappointment and frustration when Erron pushed Kano just when he was inches away from him. One more second, and his dream would’ve come true. 

“W-what…?” Kano asked as he moved away, confused, his hands sliding slowly down his neck. 

“I think we should wait a few more days?”

“A few more days? For a bloody kiss?” 

“Yes. I just don’t think we’re ready for this step yet.”

“B-but I did as you said.”

“True, and I am so proud of you.” Erron said as he caressed Kano’s rosy cheek, the hair of his beard tickling his palm. “But I don’t feel ready; I think we should wait. Besides, you only ask me to remove my mask, not to kiss me.” He chuckled in a playful way, driving Kano to exasperation. 

“Yeah, yeah I did…” 

“Come here, you silly.” Erron wrapped his arm around his neck, pulling him into a tight embrace, in which Kano remained stiff. “Aren’t you going to hug me back?” Erron teased, but to his surprise, Kano complied. His arms went around his waist, hugging him back. His head fell to the side of his body, his nose bruising against his ear. 

"Oh, I almost forgot, I have to go and prepare the cargo for the next mission. See you there, boss.” He said in a normal tone as nothing happened. 

“Yeah, yeah, you should.” 

Erron left the office feeling victorious and enjoying the power he had over Kano. The mercenary was left alone to deal with his own frustrations. 

A few weeks passed after their meeting, but this time Kano didn’t have time to think about Erron’s lovely face as their missions were approaching their end. While he was preparing the last details of the plan, someone knocked on his door. 

“Come in” he said, slightly irritated, as the sound disturbed him. 

“Feeling nervous, boss?” A familiar voice said. It wasn't muffled as usual, and when Kano turned around, he was surprised to see Erron not wearing his mask. 

“Me? Nah, I’m just a little concerned, that’s all. It's a lot of money, ya know?”

“Yeah, don’t worry, everything will be fine.” 

“I hope so. What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn’t you help Kira load the weapons in the truck?” 

“She’s fine, she won’t miss me if I’m gone a couple of minutes. Besides, I wanted to check on you.” He said it in a flirty tone as he wrapped his hands around his neck. 

“Black please, don’t toy with me now, I’m not in the mood.” He said as he hesitantly grabbed his waist with the intention to push him aside, but failed when the gunslinger glued his body to his, resting his head on his shoulder.

“Come on, Erron, we've got work to do.” He tried to sound intimidating, but his soft tone didn’t help. Erron pulled out gently, and Kano turned his head to face him. For a split second, they made eye contact, and then their foreheads were glued to each other. Kano wanted him so bad, but he also had a mission to focus on. His grip tightened and loosened on Erron’s waist, which emphasized his conflicting feelings. Should he let go and deal with Erron after the mission, or should he try one more time?

“I don’t know what you want…I swear…”

“Isn’t it obvious? I want you.”

“How do you want me when you push me away with every occasion?” 

“Because I don’t know how much you want me. You don’t seem willing to compromise.”

“Compromise this, compromise that, I don’t know if you want me or not, s’just a bunch of cheap excuses to play with me. I know you want it as much as I do.” He tightened his grip around him, pulling him closer. “Just kiss me already.”

Erron froze and all his smugness disappeared when Kano handled him so roughly. For a few moments, he was tempted to give in, but he was saved by Kabal, who yelled behind the door.

"Kano, it’s time to go! Do you know where Erron is? I can’t find him anywhere!”

Erron pulled away from him fast.

“Why in hell should I know? Keep looking for him. I’ll be out in a second.” He said he was irritated, as he felt the kiss being stollen from him. He had Erron in his grasp, and was on the verge of surrounding if Kabal didn’t interrupt them. 

“I guess we’ll continue after the mission.” Erron said, somehow relieved, as he walked away. 

“Yes, yes, we will.” 

“You know that all you have to do is ask nicely, right?” Erron added as he saw Kano’s visible frustration. He wanted to kiss him as badly as him, but he wasn’t ready to give up yet. 

“Oh this crap again? How long are you going to keep up like this?” He asked annoyed. 

“Until you say one pretty ‘please’. Is that so fucking hard? Is it so much that your ego can’t handle?”

“My ego? My ego!?” Kano was yelling at this point, leaving Kabal to wonder what the hell was going on. At least he found Erron. “How about yours? Prolonging this stupid kiss until I say ‘please’? What are you, five?” 

“I can’t resonate with you. That’s why I didn’t want to go on with our relationship. If you struggle with one ‘please’ now, I don’t even wanna think about how you’ll react when things will get more serious.”

He was right and Kano knew it. 

“Fine, have it your way.” He said it with a defeated tone that was tinged with relief.“Erron, will you please let me kiss you?”

“I-“ he didn’t expect him to ask right away. “Now?” 

“As you can see, we have a mission to do. I was thinking maybe about afterwards.” 

“S-sure…sounds good.” 

On Kano’s face a devious smirk appeared, leaving Erron to wonder what mischievous thoughts he was having at that moment. 

“What?” He asked.

“Nothing, see you after the mission.”

Kano left with a feeling of satisfaction. He finally won one battle in the war for passion. 

The mission went well, but it didn’t end. The emperor would have to wait a little longer before dying under Kano’s knife. Other than that, they successfully talked with him, and Kotal has no clue what they want. 

Even if the mission was a success, Erron couldn’t calm down. His anxiety was well justified given how much he played the mercenary lately. He can only imagine what awaits him when Kano finally gets his hands on him, when all that frustration and desire will be finally released after such a long game in which inevitably Kano is the winner. 

A loud knock at the door pulled him out of his train of thought.

“Come in.” He shouted. 

Kano appeared in his room, with a wide smile on his face. 

“How’s my favorite cowboy doing?” 

“I’m rethinking our mission, I think we missed something. Other than that, I’m a little tired." The first part was obviously a lie; he can’t tell the truth to the man who’s been preying on him for so long. 

“Hmmm, I think we did great.” He said this as he approached Black, who froze upon seeing Kano getting closer. The mercenary reached out his hands to cup Erron’s face. He couldn’t believe that this moment had finally arrived, and, fearing that something might intervene, he quickly consumed the moment by pressing his lips together. A soft moan escaped his mouth once he felt Erron’s soft lips. He made sure they were moisturized before. 

Erron had his eyes open as he was trying to process the whole encounter. While Kano was constantly pressing his lips over his, he remained still without kissing back. However, his shock disappeared when Kano’s hands moved on his waist and pulled him closer, causing the gunslinger to gain some confidence and kiss the man back. He grabbed his shoulder for support and finally let himself indulge in this sweet, tender moment. 

The room was soon filled with wet noises and soft moans as the men continued to kiss. 

It wasn’t long until the tip of Kano’s tongue kept touching Erron’s lips in a way to make the encounter more intimate. Without realizing how hungry Kano was, Erron let him in and saw how he was struggling to breathe, as the mercenary would be a lot rougher and more dominant than before. One of his hands grabbed Black’s neck so he could hold him still while his tongue was causing havoc inside his mouth. 

Erron was overwhelmed to feel Kano so close to him, to feel his hot breath on his face, and to smell his sweet cologne. His presence was simply intoxicating.

Eventually they broke the kiss because they needed some air. Their lips were swollen, their cheeks red, but their smiles were wide as finally some tension was relieved.

“I didn’t know you were such a good kisser.” Kano said he was satisfied, licking his lips. 

“Yeah, I can say the same.” Black responded, trying to catch his breath. 

Kano’s hands remained on Erron’s waist, caressing the flesh gently, as he couldn’t take his eyes off the gunslinger. When he saw that Erron caught his breath, he kissed him again, continuing where he left off. Their tongues would constantly twirl, resulting in a sloppy kiss in which Kano remained dominant. Eventually the mercenary was pushing Erron’s body backwards until he hit the cold wall, but without breaking the kiss. The gunslinger was trapped once again by Kano, but this time he wasn’t in charge anymore, and that was clear by the way Kano’s hands would travel along Erron’s body. They would grip or caress his flesh randomly, depending on the intensity of the kiss, turning the once confident and controlling man into a submissive one as his body would become weak in Kano’s touch. 

However, Erron found the strength to move his hands alongside the mercenary’s sculpted body, finding their way down his navel. His fingertips gently tapped over his skin, feeling his muscles flex under the intensity of the kiss. Erron kept sliding his hands lower as the passion between them increased, and it would’ve turned into something more serious if Kano didn’t stop him.

“W-what are you doing?” Erron asked confused when he felt his hands being pushed aside. 

“Well, I think we should wait for that.”

“W-why? I thought we were doing pretty well here.” He replied in frustration. 

"Yeah, but c’mon, we barely had our first kiss, and you want to jump right into sex? I don’t think I’m ready for that step yet.” He said, trying not to laugh as he felt proud of getting the upper hand. 

“I-I don’t know, yes? You seem ready to me.”

At this point, Kano removed his hands from Erron’s body and took a step back, creating some space between them. 

“It’s just an impression, dear. Believe it or not, I want to take it slow.” 

“You wanna take it slow?” 

"Yes, Erron, I can’t figure out where this relationship is heading after just one kiss.” 

“You do realize this wasn’t just a kiss, right?”

“Then what was it, Erron?” 

Kano watched proudly as, for the first time since their game, Erron remained silent. 

“Just go already.” The cowboy said this after crossing his arms over his chest. 

Kano turned around, smiled, and headed to the door. Before leaving, he turned around to look at Erron one more time. 

“Hey Black”

“Yeah?” 

“Ask me nicely.”

“What?” 

“Ask me nicely if you wanna have sex.” 

With that, Kano truly felt like a winner. Now Erron would have to endure the burden of sexual frustrations and would also need one helluva plan to convince Kano to sleep with him after everything he put him through.

Mortal Kombat: Born of Deception: Common Cause.

Summary: In the face of oncoming destruction, you’ll take whatever allies you can find.

Chapter List.

Chapter List part two.

The group of Shujinko, Kai, Fujin, Bo’ Rai Cho, and Li Mei journeyed across Outworld in the direction of Shao Kahn’s fortress. With little knowledge of their enemy, it was all they had to go off.

They spoke little; there was no time to waste with idle chatter when reality had unknown hours until irrevocable damage. Li Mei spoke up.

“Are you certain you know where you’re going?”

Shujinko shook his head.

“No, but it is our best bet.”

“Wonderful. Our best hope is a wild guess. Onaga is probably merging the realms while we are chasing taigore kittens.”

Bo’ shut down Li Mei’s frustrations with a stern but warm retort.

“Please, Li Mei, Shujinko is many things, but he has always had a good sense of directions. Have faith in your master.”

At Li Mei’s small sneer, Shujinko turned to the young Outworlder.

“Are you alright? You have been strangely on edge through our journey.”

Although it was difficult to see in the night, Li Mei’s skin was paler than it was when she first woke up, and a perceptive onlooker could see a faint emerald glowing in her eyes. Still, she seemed largely the same, although a bit more focused and goal oriented.

“I’m fine. Your concern is appreciated, but unnecessary.”

Fujin and Bo’ Rai Cho shared a look, promising to investigate further details later.

Li Mei paused for a moment before sighing.

“Forgive me, master Shujinko.”

“It is quite alright. I hope we can find Onaga before it is too late-

“Do you need some help?”

Along with his allies, the old warrior turned to combat this new opponent. Shujinko recognized the man but not the three who followed.

“Havik?”

Havik bowed theatrically.

“Ah, you have grown older in your travels. Do you seek to defeat Onaga?”

“We do. Are you here to stop us?”

Havik frantically shook his hands so fast that Shujinko was sure they would snap off.

“No, no, no. We’re here to help.”

“We?”

“He means us.”

Shujinko saw a woman with red hair, a young man in a dirty karate uniform, and a masked man in a long coat. The young man with messy blond hair smirked.

“And if you’ve got a problem, tough shit.”

Kai scoffed.

“Tough talk. Can you back it up?”

A fight looked close to breaking out before Fujin stepped between.

“Enough. Save the fighting for later. We are nearly out of time.”

Kobra huffed as Havik spoke again.

“I know where the dragon king resides. Follow me.”

With little choice, the warriors followed the cleric and his strange companions to their destination.

--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------

The next warriors to find were a blind swordsman and a warrior in silver and blue armour. He spoke to the warrior, who called himself Sub-Zero. His powers were similar to the Lin Kuei Shujinko trained with all those decades ago.

“We are gaining allies against a new threat; we would welcome your assistance in stopping him.”

Sub-Zero was going to respond before a loud thump got everyone’s attention.

The swordsman had his blade pointed at a woman’s throat. The woman was dressed in a revealing black and red outfit, and her face was desperate in fear. Sub-Zero seemed to recognize her.

“Sareena?”

“I can explain; I’m not here to hurt you! Please put the sword down!”

Sub Zero turned to the heroes.

“We’ll join you when we can.”

Shujinko nodded as he continued the journey. Sub-Zero turned to Kenshi, his stern gaze enhancing his words.

“Kenshi, let her go; she’s an ally.”

“I can sense her demonic energy.”

“I said let her go.”

Kenshi let Sareena drop to the floor with an undignified sound with a grunt. Sareena slowly stood up and cleaned herself off, looking somewhat awkward as Sub-Zero questioned her arrival.

“What are you doing here? I thought I told you to go to the temple.”

“You did. But I didn’t want anything bad to happen, so I followed your journey to the palace and back.”

Sub Zero tilted his head slightly in respect.

“Disobeying orders for the good of your companions? Kenshi and I are on our way to help kill a tyrant. There may be a place for you in the lin kuei. Would you join us?”

“I would love to.”

------------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------

As the group reached the mountain stronghold, they were ready for a fight. Shujinko entered the fortress to find four warriors engaged in battle with five of the mind-controlled servants of Onaga. Shujinko recognized Jade, Sindel, and Ermac, the latter of whom called to Shujinko’s group as he effortlessly handled three warriors at once.

“Go and engage the dragon king; we will handle this.”

Without looking, Ermac slammed his closed fist into the crotch of a man with sunglasses. Shujinko dashed past the group with his small army following behind.

When the group neared the throne room, Li Mei collapsed with a groan of pain. Bo’ Rai Cho turned to support her.

“Li Mei, are you alright?”

Li Mei responded by attacking Bo’ Rai Cho with a backhand. She shouted at the group as though she stood a chance against them all.

“You will not stop the dragon king!”

Bo’ Rai Cho told the others to keep going as he dealt with her.

“Thank you, master. We’ll see you soon.”

The master nodded as the heroes rushed past him to confront the dragon king. Bo’ stared at Li Mei with the hardened voice of a disappointed teacher

“I do not know what has gotten into you, but I will free you from Onaga’s chains.”

Li Mei scoffed in disbelief.

“You cannot free anyone, you drunken slob! Onaga is the only path to peace!”

Bo’ sighed, downing some of his drink in preparation, before taking a stance.

“Forgive me, Li Mei.”

The remaining warriors entered the throne room to find Onaga in a heated battle with Scorpion. The ninja fought well, but his blows caused minor damage to the dragon king. With a swipe of his palm, Onaga knocked Scorpion into the wall and unconsciousness.

The deceiver noticed the army and chuckled.

“Why, Shujinko, you brought friends to watch my grand victory.”

“Your schemes end now, Onaga.”

“Bold words from a fool.”

Shujinko turned to his allies, who stepped forward to engage.

“I will handle him. Wait for my command.”

Shujinko entered the centre arena, where each kamidogu floated atop pedestals. With a hand towards the orderrealm kamidogu, Onaga formed a barrier around the stadium, blocking Shujinko from his allies’ interference.

This would be a battle he would need to handle alone.

“Come, champion, fail one last time.”

Shujinko took a position; this would undoubtedly be the most brutal fight of his life.

Was "Snake Pit" Kobra Kahn's first appearance in 2002 He-Man? Did they ever give a reason why he was in prison to begin with?

Or were we just supposed to assume that he's in prison so he must be a bad guy, 'cause only bad people get sent to jail?

It's Good To Be Alive Ch.4

Story Summary:  After her death, Mileena was granted a second chance, as her journey to look for allies for her new rebellion lead her to Earthrealm where she was saved by the Shirai Ryu. Having no other choice, Mileena joined the clan and became somewhat of a student to Hanzo Hasashi. Meanwhile Havik has returned and is assembling an army to get revenge on Hanzo and plunge the realms into chaos. Check it out on Fanfiction: www.fanfiction.net/s/13285792/…

Earthrealm: Japan, Shirai Ryu Temple, 9:00 AM

Around a week later, Mileena was up at the same time and at the same place as every other Shirai Ryu at 9 in the morning. In the courtyards of the Shirai Ryu temple as she trained nonstop along with everyone else. Like every morning, every member was paired up as they were engaged in combat. But just like every other day since Mileena joined the clan, the Grandmaster, Hanzo was standing in front of and looking over Mileena and whoever she battling.

Mileena stood face to face with a younger male Shirai Ryu member who held a dagger and wore the traditional Shirai Ryu uniform, with Mileena wearing the same style of clothing with a yellow cloth covering her face. Holding her Sai in front of her in a combat ready battle position, and unlike her first day there were no bags under her eyes. Obviously adapting to her new sleep schedule.

Hanzo stood over the two and watched them with a stern look and his arms crossed. He then looked over at the younger man facing Mileena as he spoke.

"Are you ready?" Asked Hanzo.

"Y-Yes, Grandmaster." Said the young man nervously as Hanzo looked over at Mileena.

"Are you ready, Mileena?" Asked Hanzo.

"Yes." Said Mileena as Hanzo nodded his head and looked forward.

"Alright then. Round 1. FIGHT!" Yelled Hanzo as Mileena and the man charged at each other.

The young man swung his blade several times only for Mileena to easily redirected and block all of his attacks, followed by several dodged and well places kicked to the young man's face and chest. The man stumbled back as Mileena spun the blades around with the butts of the sai's pointed upward as she charged forward. The young man managed to dodge many of Mileena's attacks and even get a few good hits on her before hitting her with a series of punches that sent her flying back. But Mileena quickly picked herself up as she charged forward again.

"Arrgh!" Growled Mileena as she charged at the young man again. Mileena let out a series of hits with the blunt butts of her sai all around the chest, the bottom of the neck, the legs, the arms, and the head before spinning around and kicked the young man to the ground.

The man groaned as he fell to the ground, Hanzo looked over. "Mileena, wins."

The young man picks himself back up as he faces off with Mileena again. "Round 2. FIGHT!"

The young man charged at Mileena as Milieena charged forward as well and leaped over the man. Landing behind him as she quickly turned around and tossed her sai's at him. The young man turned around as he managed to dodge the first sai and get slashed across the shoulder by the other sai. He grabbed his shoulder in pain as Mileena charged forward again.

The man blocked all of Mileena's attacks despite his wound, him and Mileena traded several blows before the man held his knife back up and spun it several times before swinging it. The young man managed to land several cuts to Mileena's arm's and chest. But as the man raised the dagger again to administer another slash, Mileena pulled out her sai's once more and used the hooks on the weapon to hold the knife back. The two had their weapons locked as they were struggling against one another, but Mileena got herself the edge as she forced the hooks of her sai's inward as the young man gave Mileena a confused look.

"Wait, what are you-" But before he could finish...

(Snap!)

The young man's dagger snapped in two as he let go of it, with the tip of the blade and the handle falling and hitting the floor as the young man watched. But Mileena took advantage of that distraction. Mileena dashed in and assaulted him with a barrage of quick and savage strikes that at the very least loosened a tooth before Mileena suddenly stopped and stood there, the young man was dizzy with bruises all over his face as Mileena stared at him. Not even a second passed before Mileena delivered a spin kick right to the young man's head that sent him to the floor.

The man hit the floor, nearly being knocked out cold. Hanzo looked down at the young man before looking back up at Mileena as he raised his hand. "Mileena wins!"

The young man started regaining his barrings, wiping the blood from his mouth as he started to slowly pick himself back up. He looked up and saw Mileena just staring at him the whole time. As the man finally got up, he chuckled a bit as he spoke.

"Well, I can see why your in the clan now. Your pretty tough..." Said the young man as he held out his hand for Mileena to grab as a sign of respect. But Mileena just stared at his hand suspiciously before the man glanced at her then Hasashi. Hasashi looked at the man as he spoke.

"You fought well, go dress your wounds then return for another session of combat." Said Hanzo as the young man bowed at him.

"Yes, Grandmaster." Said the young man as he walked off.

Hanzo then looked over at Mileena with a bit of a disapproving stare as she stared at him with an annoyed look.

"What? I defeated him, didn't I? What did I do wrong?" Asked Mileena in annoyance.

"I understand your not a people's person, Mileena. But when your in the clan, you show respect to everybody." Uttered Hanzo as Mileena rolled her eyes.

"Even those who hate me and blame me for all the tragedy in their lives?" Asked Mileena with her arms crossed.

"Yes, even them. I already told everyone in the clan the same thing about you. It doesn't matter who you were, your Shirai Ryu now. Whatever grudges they hold, they must come to peace with on their own terms." Mileena in response looked away after Hanzo's speech.

"Listen, try to see things from their points of view. They were living good lives with their friends and family, having their own jobs and careers, living peacefully. But when the Outworld civil war came along they had no choice but to pack up and leave their friends, homes, and even families in order to escape the destruction and carnage. I do not care for Outworld politics, but I know tragedy when I see it. They're angry, and they need someone to blame. And apparently your the closest one to blame." Said Hanzo.

"Thank you for that, I feel so much better about my situation now, Grandmaster." Uttered Mileena in a sarcastic tone.

"It's not about just you, Mileena. It's about this clan. Even though I say I command respect among my students, I gained their true internal respect. I can only command their outward respect. Not their internal respect..." Said Hanzo as he walked up to Mileena and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"That kind of respect, TRUE respect must be earned. You must find your own way to gain the rest of the Shirai Ryu's respect." Said Hanzo as he and Mileena stared at one another for a second before a voice caught their attention.

"Grandmaster, we're finished paroling the woodland area. We are finished with our shift." Hanzo and Mileena turned to see that Komodai was standing there in the same yellow and black uniform with a blond woman standing to his right who HEAVILY resembled Sonya Blade and to his left stood a male Tarkatan.

"Very well, you can train with the rest." Said Hanzo as he looked over to a Shirai Ryu member who walked up behind him.

"Get the next group scheduled to patrol the perimeter." Said Hanzo as the Shirai Ryu ninja nodded and walked off. As the three were about to walk off, they instantly spotted Mileena as all three of their expressions darkened.

"Excuse me, there is some business I must attend to. Continue your training, I will be back soon." Declared Hanzo to both Mileena and the trio of Outworlders before turning around and leaving. The four watched Hanzo as he left, after the Grandmaster walked out of hearing range the Outworld trio then turned their attentions back to Mileena as they appeared to be sizing her up and giving her dark looks.

"What do you want?" Asked Mileena with venom in her voice.

"Might I assk why your ssstill here? Last time I checked, they don't allow animalsss into the Shirai Ryu. Sssso get going." Said Komodai as he pointed to the massive double doors to the courtyard.

"Have you looked in a mirror lately, snake?" Asked Mileena as Komodai growled and was about to take a step forward, before being stopped by the woman who looked alot like Sonya Blade who smirked at Mileena.

"What do you have Mileena? Nothing to back up your threats anymore. Your allies are long gone or dead, you were forced out of Outworld, and of course you were stripped of your crown. So, watch your disgusting tongue when speaking to people." Threatened the woman with Mileena glaring harder at her.

"What is this? Are you trying to anger me to the point where I would just lunge out and attack you? Possibly getting myself kicked out of the temple? Pathetic." Growled Mileena as the woman chuckled.

"But you ARE dying to hurt us... Aren't you, cannibal? No matter how hard you hit us, it won't fix your dental problem. Especially what scares off potential boyfriends when you try to pleasure them... below the belt." Mocked the woman as Mileena growled louder as she took several steps forward towards the trio.

"... It was not MY FAULT what happened to you and all the other Outworld refugees! You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time! I was just trying to regain my rightful place as empress! But YOU won't give me a chance!" Growled Mileena as the trio's expressions darkened even more.

"YESSS IT WASSSS! Do you even know what you've done when you rebelled against Kotal Kahn?! Hundreds lossst their homesss, businessesss, farmsss, friendsss, and family! Sssome DIED because you wanted that crown ssso damn bad! And it'sss ALL YOUR FAULT!" Yelled Komodai as he walked right up to Mileena as she remained silent for a moment, looking up at him.

"I... I never MEANT to hurt any of my citizens... I wanted to restore Outworld's glory." Said Mileena in a lower more sympathetic tone of voice. But this only seemed to enrage Komodai as he shoved her away.

"We are NOT YOUR CITIZENSSS!" Hissed Komodai as Mileena stumbled back a few feet before getting into battle position.

"What!? You want a fight that bad?!" Asked Mileena as Komodai seemed to smirk and chuckle a bit before walking forward.

"How about a Ssshirai Ryu duel? If you win, we will leave you alone and stop bothering you... but if I win, you will leave the Shirai Ryu and never return! What do you sssay?" Asked Komodai as Mileena continued to glare at him from her battle position.

"Who says I will only take one of you on? I can take you all on!" Growled Mileena as the trio took a moment to glance at one another, before smiling.

"Very well, as you wish. But we will NOT be merciful." Stated Komodai as all three began to square up with Mileena.

"I do not ask for mercy, I ask for solitude." Growled Mileena as the Tarkatan grabbed Komodai's shoulder and gained his attention as he looked over.

"Komodai, I would like the honors." Asked the Tarkatan as Komodai simply nodded his head as the Tarkatan walked over to Mileena and stood in front of his two friends.

"But... You are Tarkatan! I thought the Tarkatans were loyal to me!" Said Mileena as the Tarkatan growled at her.

"Yes... Until you lead my people to their deaths, and caused the death of the great General Baraka! He was going to lead our people to greatness! And he died following you! I am Karbrac! And I will avenge him!" Growled Karbrac as he popped his blades.

Mileena pulled out her trademark sai's yet again as Mileena charges at the trio who all charge in unison right back. Karbrac swung his blades at Mileena only for Mileena to deflect his attacks with her sai's before landing multiple hits on him before quickly dodging incoming kicks of the woman as Mileena focused her energy on her. Mileena swung her sai's at the woman only for the woman to skillfully dodge Mileena's attacks with a number of incredible feats of flexibility, speed, and flips that she would give Tanya a run for her money.

The woman dashed in as Mileena was preparing for another attack as she landed several punches and kicks at the ex-empress before Mileena quickly raised up her sai's as she used them to hold the woman's incoming kick in midair with Mileena using her sai's to shove her foot away. As Mileena leaped in to land more hits on the woman, Mileena was punched in the face sending her stumbling back a few steps, before looking up to see Komodai dashing at her with multiple well placed strikes, before Mileena quickly grabbed one of Komodai's incoming punches. Quickly twisting his arm around to leave him defenseless as Mileena kneed him in the stomach multiple times before tossing him over her shoulder and right on the ground.

But as Mileena looked on Komodai who was still on the ground, she heard a growling noise behind her that was getting closer. Wasting no time, she instantly teleports away, sliding into the ground with her pink energy transporting her as a portal opened up right over the attacking Karbrac, falling as she landed a kick right on Karbrac's face. But the tarkatan would not give up that easily as he swung his blades at Mileena who dodged a majority of the blows, but one managed to hit as it lightly slashed at Mileena's side making her groan in pain.

But Mileena would not let this attack go unpunished as when Karbrac made a stabbing motion at Mileena with one of his blades, she grabbed his arm and quickly pulled him in as she landed as many hits on him as she possibly could before Karbrac stood there, confused and dizzy before Mileena pulled out her sai's get again, slashing him across the chest before performing a spin kick that knocked Karbrac out as he fell to the ground.

But as Mileena let her guard down for a moment, someone dashed in from her left and punched her square in the face, making her stumble back a few steps before looking up again. It was that woman, looking determined as she walked up to Mileena.

"What harm did I even do to you? I don't even know who you are!" Yelled Mileena as the woman stopped her pursuit, only stopping to speak.

"My name is Aynos. I was the leader of a tribe in Outworld, we were fine until the Outworld's civil war! My tribe was decimated and scattered because of what you and Kotal did! My people fled to Earthrealm to escape the carnage along with myself! And now, I will finally be able to take my revenge!" Yelled Aynos as she then charged at Mileena with a series of very skilled punches and kicks that Mileena managed to block and deflect. But after a few roundhouse kicks that Mileena managed to block, she charged in and landed several punches on Aynos before Aynos started blocking the rest of Mileena's strikes.

Aynos landed several strikes of her own before leaping over Mileena and spinning around before landing right behind Mileena. But when Mileena looked over to face Aynos she was kicked in the face and sent to the floor again. But when Aynos ran towards Mileena who was on the ground, Mileena planted her hands on the ground as she lifted her whole body up and kicked Aynos in the face with both her feet. Knocking Aynos out and on her back as Mileena stood back up.

"Walk away, and I will stop!" Yelled Mileena as she saw out of the corner of her eye a green liquid flying right at her. She dodged it only for it to land on the ground and start to melt it as steam started arising from it. Mileena looked back to see Komodai standing there as he wiped away the rest of his acidic saliva from his reptilian lips.

"Never! You don't belong in this clan! The only place you belong is in the ground feeding the worms!" Hissed Komodai as he charged forward with his claws out. Mileena held out her sai's and blocked his attacks as he started forcing her back. But they started keeping each other on the ropes as they fought like stereotypical ninjas with many skilled kicks, slashes, stabs, and punches that each one dodged and flipped around. Both fighters were smooth, skilled, strong, yet deadly as neither let up with each giving out everything they had in the battle.

Even with Komodai jumping and kicking dust into Mileena's face in his attempt to blind her. But Mileena blocked her eyes just in time with her arm as Komodai leaped over Mileena and hit her with a few kicks and punches. He then shot out his tongue that wrapped around Mileena's throat as he tossed her through the air and slammed her on the ground multiple times. But as Mileena seemed like she was about to be totally defeated, Komodai lifted her up to smash her into the ground one last time, Mileena pulled out one of her sai's and stabbed Komodai's tongue.

Komodai screamed in pain as he let go and dropped Mileena, retracting his tongue back in his mouth. But as he was distracted, he looked up to see Mileena charging at him one final time and punching him across the face, sending him to the ground for good.

Mileena panted as she looked down at all her defeated opponents, she saw them starting to pick themselves up. As they did, she finally spoke.

"I did not mean for any of this to happen! None of this was meant to happen! Baraka was a close and trusted ally who was one of my only allies who remained loyal to the end! I morn his death too... I also never wanted the people of Outworld to suffer! I just wanted to return Outworld to it's glory! I didn't mean to cause pain and suffering from it!... I didn't mean to..." Said Mileena with a surprising amount of sorrow in her voice, but before the three of them could continue to argue with her, she turned around and began to walk away. But before she could even take three steps, she was halted as she walked into someone. Mileena stopped and looked up to see Grandmaster Hanzo Hasashi looking down at her with anger and content.

Mileena remained silent a she took two steps back. "H-Hasashi... I-"

"Enough..." Growled Hanzo in a deep menacing voice that even frightened Mileena a bit as he looked behind her at the three Outworlders.

"All of you, come with me." Said Hanzo as he turned around and walked away with four of his students following him.

Earthrealm: Japan, Shirai Ryu Temple, Hanzo's study

"UNBELIEVABLE! ALL I ASKED OF YOU IS TO NOT CAUSE CONFLICT! AND HOW DO YOU RESPOND!? YOU CAUSE CONFLICT AMONG YOURSELVES! TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER AND DISREGARDING MY DIRECT ORDERS!" Yelled Hanzo as he started to pace back and forth in his study with Mileena, Komodai, Karbrac, and Aynos kneeling in front of their furious sensei.

"Hasashi, they were-" Mileena was cut off.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" From Hanzo that instantly silenced Mileena. Hanzo takes a breath to clam himself before he started pacing again.

"The Shirai Ryu cannot fight to protect Earthrealm or even ourselves if we are stuck fighting one another. Like it or not, you will learn to get along and fight as a team." Stated Hanzo as he stopped pacing and stood in front of his students with his hands behind his back.

"Now, because of your little schoolyard fight, we will have a team building exercise, right now." Declared Hanzo as the four looked at him in confusion as he stared down at them.

"Stand up, and follow me."

Hanzo turned and started to walk out of the room as his students stood up and started following him.

Earthrealm: Japan, Three Miles From The Shirai Ryu Temple, The Forest

Hanzo walked down the pathway through the forest with his four students following him. They have been walking for almost 20 minutes as almost all of them were wondering when they were going to stop. But right as they were in the middle of that thought, Hanzo stopped walking and stood in the middle of the trail. Turning around to face the four Outworlders.

"There is a reason I brought you out here today. And don't worry, no matter the outcome of this activity, you will all leave with your lives. But, I can't promise that all of you will return to the temple." Said Hanzo as the four gave Hanzo confused expressions. But before any of them could've asked Hanzo what he meant, Hanzo pulled out three coins from his sleeve as he held the three coins up and in view of the four Outworlders.

The four saw that each coin appeared to be made of a gold or gold-like metal with each coin having the Shirai Ryu symbol on them. Hanzo held them up for another moment before dropping his hand, three coins still in between his fingers as he stared at the four.

"These are three Shirai Ryu coins. These coins are incredibly valuable to the clan with only 10 of them even existing. You should feel honored just to be able to look upon them. Your mission for today is simple, you must take these coins from me by ANY MEANS. If you manage to retrieve one, you may be able to keep your place in the clan. If you fail by nightfall then I will have no choice but to banish you from the clan." Said Hanzo as the four Outworlders became wide eyes and fearful at that statement. Especially Mileena, who even though she appeared to be only a little disturbed by the statement, internally she was absolutely terrified.

"Grandmaster, with all due respect. Don't you believe this is a bit much?" Asked Aynos as Hanzo pulled his hood over his head and placed his iconic yellow mask on. With this new look making Mileena think of the more familiar specter of vengeance he once was. Hanzo just looked back up at Aynos, staying silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"... No. Today you proved to me that all of you are temperamental, impatient, don't follow orders, easily agitated, and presently not worthy of being a true Shirai Ryu..." Hanzo looked back up at the four who looked at him with worried expressions, but doing the best to their ability to hide it.

"... You may begin." Said Hanzo as all four leaped out at him, but the ex-specter easily dodged their attacks. Looking back up, he saw Aynos charge at him with several punches and kicks which he easily blocked and knocked her back with a few well placed hits.

Next Karbrac jumped in with his tarkantan blades out as he swung them at Hanzo who skillfully dodged the blade strikes. Hanzo then quickly redirected one of Karbrac's attacks before sweeping the legs under his feet and knocking him down.

Hanzo sensed a presence behind him as he quickly turned around just in time for an invisible Komodai to punch Hanzo who quickly caught the attack before unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks of his own. But Hanzo was interrupted as a sai went souring past his face and was only an inch away from his face. Looking over, he saw Mileena charging at him with one of her sai's as she growled at him.

Hanzo held Komodai back with one hand and blocked Mileena's attacks with the other. But as Mileena was slashing, punching, and kicking Hanzo, she managed to punch him across the face. But as she was about to reach down and grab one of the three coins he had, Hanzo punched her in the face and made her stumble back. While she was distracted, Hanzo grabbed the dizzy Komodai and tossed him over his shoulder at Mileena, knocking both of them to the floor. As everyone else began to get up, they looked up to see Hanzo quickly leaped on one of the trees and started leaping from branch to branch like a ninja before disappearing.

"Get away from me you filthy halfling!" Hissed Komodai as he picked himself up from Mileena who hissed back.

"YOU WERE ON ME, YOU LIZARD!" Growled Mileena as Komodai ignored her and took several steps away. He sniffed the air a bit as he looked over at one direction as he began to walk. Much like Karkrac and Aynos who seemed to be going their own thing and started tracking Hanzo his own way.

But before Komodai left, he stopped and looked over his shoulder at Mileena who was still on the ground. "We worked hard to get into the Shirai Ryu, we were forced from our homes, but a crazed bitch like you gets lucky enough to be accepted out of pity. Do everyone in the clan a favor, and run away..."

Mileena was silent as Komodai turned back around and started walking in the direction he was sniffing at. Mileena was still silent as she stood back up and held out her hands, teleporting her sai's back into her hands. She looked at her sai's and her hands for a while, before looking back up.

'... I will not return to Outworld and die, I will not be locked up in some holding cell in Earthrealm... and I WILL NOT be kicked out of the Shirai Ryu... I will not fail!' Thought Mileena as she put her sai's away and jumped up, landing on a tree branch much like Hanzo as she started leaping from branch to branch to look for him.

Outworld: Kotal Kahn's Throne Room

Kotal Kahn sat in his throne with his closest lieutenants standing by his side, who happened to be Erron Black, Reptile, Ermac, and Ferra/Torr. With the rest of Kotal Kahn's imperial guards on almost every corner of the throne room with a prisoner who was being held in place with a contraption around his neck by several guards in front of the emperor.

The prisoner was a member of the nearly forgotten race of Outworlders called the Naknada. A massive collar was around the goblin-like creature's neck with six long poles sticking out of each angle, with each pole being held by one imperial guard who tried their best to keep the prisoner stationary. Kotal Kahn stared down at the multiple armed creature for several moment with his cold eyes before finally speaking.

"Kollector, you have escaped Outworld justice for quite a while. Nothing but a leech sucking the profit and bounty of Outworld dry. And for that, you shall be executed..." Declared Kotal as the Kollector struggled with surprising strength against his captors who were trying to hold him down with the poles, with the Kollector even managing to lift three full grown men up on one side of his collar, before dropping to his knees again.

"Hahaha... Go ahead Kotal, execute me and see what happens. You kill me, and you lose money..." Growled Kollector as Kotal expressed no emotion. Standing up and picking up his war blade as he marched down from his throne.

"At first, I considered a public execution for you..." Kotal pulled up his blade and pressed the tip of it against Kollector's throat. "But then I realized that it would not be necessary. The people of Outworld have more important things to do rather then watch the departure of a piece of greedy trash like yourself."

Kotal pulled his war blade away as Kollector fell on one knee, looking up at Kotal with his goblin looking eyes. "Declare your worthless laws false Emperor of Outworld! Shao Kahn's words shall ALWAYS be law! You are nothing but a child playing dressup!"

Kotal just stared at the Kollector with no emotion as he spoke once more. "Outworld shall no longer suffer your greed and corruption. Good riddence."

Kotal raised his war blade to cut the Kollector's head off, but right before he brought the blade down-

(BOOM!)

The twin doors to the throne room were blown open with some sort of explosive that sent the doors flying across the room along with a shockwave that knocked everyone to the ground. As the smoke started to clear, the Kollector looked around in confusion to see everyone distracted. Including the guards who were supposed to hold him still, with the Kollector spotting many of the guards letting go of the poles. Kollector stood up and reeled his upper body to the side that caused the poles to viciously knock all the guards to the ground.

Looking down, he saw that the guard carrying the keys to the collar was lying on the ground in front of him. But before the guard could pick himself back up, Kollector kicked the man back to the ground. The Naknada followed up with several more savage kicks to the ribs, before the guard lies flat on the ground with blood oozing out of his mouth. With the guard either being knocked out or dead, Kollector reached down and grabbed the ring of keys that was on the guard he just kicked down. Using it to unlock his collar as he finally freed himself.

As the dust finally started to settle, Kotal, his lieutenants, and many of his imperial guards stood back up and coughed up a storm as they looked over at where the double doors to the throne room used to be. When Kotal and the rest of his subjects looked up they see several figures standing at the entrance, as the dust finally settles, they all see Tremor, Skarlet, Kobra, D'vorah, Kira, and Havik who was standing in the middle of the group with his Morningstar being hung by his side. Along with a whole bunch of Red Dragon thugs behind them who were carrying assault rifles, blades, and cattle prods.

Kotal stood up as he blinked a few times, making sure that what he was seeing was no dream or illusion. "Havik? You live?!"

"Are you happy to see me, Kotal? How long has it been? A year and a half?" Asked Havik as he took several steps forward.

"How can this be? Your dead!" Yelled Kotal as Havik just giggled in response.

"The Kamidogu granted me total immortality. I can't die..." Commented Havik as he took several steps closer.

"What is it that you want, Havik?" Asked Kotal as he raised his war blade and aimed it at Havik.

"Simply your undying allegiance. That, and your Portal Stone." Answered Havik as Kotal noticably became angrier after hearing Havik's answer.

"Undying allegiance? Ha! You are just as much of a snake as Mileena, Reiko, and any of the other worms who tried to usurp my throne! Now, you will take your little entourage and leave before I change my mind on letting you live!" Threatened Kotal as he, his guards, and lieutenants got into battle positions.

"I would suggest taking his offer, Kotal. We will all achieve our goals if we follow Havik." Said D'vorah stepping forward as Kotal glared at her.

"You fight for nothing but lost causes, D'vorah. Even if you survive this encounter, you will not survive the knife Havik will stab in your back." Said Kotal as D'vorah just cocks her head and smiles at.

"Havik will save us all, and give us all what we want." Said D'vorah as Kotal's expression deepened into a grimace.

"Last warning. Leave or die." Warned Kotal as Havik just started quietly laughing to himself as he holds up his mace with both hands on it.

"That is your final answer?... GOOD!" Uttered Havik as he then dashed at Kotal with his Morningstar up, ready to bring it down on Kotal's head, but Kotal luckily blocked the Chaosrealmers attack with his own sword as the two struggled for a moment before Kotal kicked Havik back. Right after that first strike, warriors on both sides charged into battle.

With many of the Red Dragon thugs and Kotal's imperial guards dying and many more of the skilled warriors like Erron Black, Ermac, Tremor, and others lasting far longer then any of the guards or thugs, Kotal and Havik were engaged in brutal kombat.

The two charged at each other once more as they crossed their weapons, both seemingly to be heavily matched as the two broke their crossed blades one more. Before Kotal pulled his warblade back and swung it into Havik's side as Havik groaned in pain. But as Kotal tried to force the blade completely through Havik's body, Havik kicked the Kahn back before charging in again and managing to his Kotal several times with his Morningstar. But as Kotal as about to strike back, Havik reared back his Morningstar and hit Kotal, sending the Kahn flying through the air and smashing through one of the pillars in the throne room.

(Smash!)

Havik walked over to the injured Kahn as everyone else was still fighting. Erron walked through the fight as he looked up to see a Red Dragon thug running towards him with two machetes, but Erron quickly stepped out of the way and kicked the back of the thug's knees forcing him on his knees, as Erron pulls out a large vile filled with a green liquid that he smashed over the thug's head. The thug's face then began to melt off and steam as another thug ran at Erron with a cattle prod, only for Erron to blow his brains out. But as Erron got ready for another attack, he looked up to see flying blood daggers heading straight at him, quickly dodging the attack and looking up. Only for an opponent to dash forward and kick Erron in the stomach, making him stumble back.

But as Erron regained his barrings and looked up, he saw none other then Skarlet and Kobra standing there.

"Oh, Skarlet, darlin'... Why did ya have to join up with Havik? Now I gotta coat the ground in your pretty blood..." Commented Erron.

"My loyalty remains to Shao Kahn. If there's even a chance Havik can bring my master back and give me even more power then he and Reiko did in the past... I'll take it... Even if Kotal would except me as an equal, what makes you think I would join up with him?" Said Skarlet as Erron looked over at Kobra who was glaring at him.

"And... who are you?" Asked Erron as Kobra visibly became angrier.

"You shot me, you son of a bitch! I'm Kobra! Don't you remember?" Roared Kobra angrily.

"... Oh yeah, I remember you now. You were that clown who went down after getting shot in the arm. You were so weak, honestly thought I killed you." Said Erron.

"Well not today! This time I kill you!" Yelled Kobra as he got into his battle position.

"Now please, let's have the lady leave first. A battlefield is no place for a woman." Said Erron as Skarlet glared at him.

"I didn't take you as a sexist, Erron." Said Skarlet as Erron looked back at her.

"I was talking to him." Said Erron pointing at Kobra as Kobra exploded in anger.

"You motherfucker! Your dead!" Yelled Kobra as he dashed forward and started performing kicks and punches, catching Erron by surprise as he stumbled back. But Erron managed to regain his barrings as he started to block Kobra's attacks and even started to punch and kick himself. But after a vicious combo of kicks and punches from Kobra that sent Erron back, Kobra walked up to the cowboy as he was about to kill him.

But before Kobra could administer the killing blow, Erron pulled out sand from his picket and tossed it into Kobra's face. Temporarily blinding him and making him stumble back as Erron pulled out a knife from his back pocket as he dashed towards Kobra. Bringing the knife down, only for Kobra to grab his arm in the knick of time. Kobra quickly twisted Erron's arm around and forcefully bent it the wrong way, breaking the mercenary's arm and sending Erron to the floor.

Kobra then kicked Erron several times before stopping and bending down to pick up one of Erron's guns. Smiling, he looked down at the injured Erron and said "Paybacks a bitch, isn't it Eastwood?"

He then pointed the gun down and shot Erron five times, with all the shots scattered throughout his body. Many of them into Erron's back and legs.

Kotal was partially buried under the rubble of the broken pillar, groaning as he pushed the broken pieces off of himself as he tried to push himself up. But before he could, he saw a pair of feet walk over to him, before even another second passed, the individual kicked Kotal in the face with such force he flew back and landed on his back. Looking up he saw it was Havik who kicked him as he was walking closer to Kotal, dragging his Morningstar on the ground with the spikes of the weapon producing sparks as it dragged along the floor.

Kotal looked over as he saw his war blade laying on the ground a few feet away from him. As he reached for it, one of Kotal's guards ran up to Havik with a sword, only to dodge the guards attack, he grabbed the guard by his neck and headbutted him three times with so much force it caved in the guards head. Throwing that guard aside, another guard charged at Havik, only for Havik to swing his Morningstar and splattering the guards head. A third guard ran up to Havik, only for Havik to grab the guard by her throat and rip her throat right out. As he blood started spilling everywhere, Havik just kicked the guard to the ground to bleed out.

Havik turned his attention back to Kotal who was reaching for his war blade, Havik stood over Kotal and held his Morningstar high... only to bring it down and collide with Kotal's blade the Kahn held in front of him. Kotal knocked Havik back with a kick to the gut as Kotal quickly stood back up and dashed at Havik. With Havik trying to regain his barrings, Kotal swung his blade and instantly sliced Havik's hand off.

But as Havik looked over at the bloody stump on his arm, Kotal rammed his war blade right through Havik's chest. The two stood there silently for a moment with Havik looking down at the massive blade in his chest with Kotal pushing on the other side.

"This is over... you are dead..." Growled Kotal. But Havik just looked down at the blade in his chest, before throwing his head back and started laughing.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Kotal gave a confused look before Havik kicked Kotal back. Havik simply looked down at the weapon lodged in his chest as he reached down with his remaining hand, and slowly pulled and war blade out of his chest. Before tossing it aside and reaching down to grab his severed hand and picked it back up, sticking it back onto the severed bloody stump on the end of his arm. Re-attaching it, as he let go, showing that his healed hand was as good as new. Moving around his fingers as his gaping chest wound started to rapidly regenerate as well. Walking over to the injured Kotal as he slung his Morningstar over his shoulder.

"What... what are you?" Asked the injured Kotal as Havik stopped and stood in front of him.

"I am chaos, Kotal. I am chaos..." Said Havik as he quickly pulled back his Morningstar and swung it at Kotal's head, knocking him down to the ground as he coughed up blood. As Havik looked back up, he saw that virtually all of Kotal's imperial guards were dead, while all of Kotal's best fighters were lying on the ground with serious injured. Looking up, Kotal saw Tremor walking over holding a defeated Ermac by the throat, tossing Ermac to the ground to join the rest of Kotal's defeated fighters.

"There, Havik. They're all defeated. What's next?" Asked Tremor as Havik looked at all of his fighters and the Red Dragon thugs who remained alive.

"First, find the Portal Stone. I have a feeling no matter how much we torture Kotal, he wouldn't tell me... So, D'vorah... You were Kotal's right hand woman, do you have any idea where it might be?" Asked Havik looking up at D'vorah who smirked.

"This one might have a pretty good idea where it might be..." Said D'vorah as Kotal managed to lift his head up with blood spilling out of his mouth, looking over at D'vorah and uttering a few words.

"You... Traitor..." D'vorah just looked down at Kotal and give a mocking smirk.

"D'vorah, you and Skarlet seek the Portal Stone." Said Havik as Skarlet and D'vorah nodded, walking off as Kira walked over to Havik.

"Why are we leaving them alive? We should just kill them and get it over with!" Yelled Kira as Kobra walked up behind her.

"Yeah! That cowboys still alive! I wanna gut him with my bare hands!" Growled Kobra.

"Patience, Kira. Patience, Kobra. We cannot kill them, Outworld has really seemed to grow attached to Kotal and his regime. If he dies, he will just be a martyr for Outworlders to interfere with our plans. So for now, they shall live." Spoke Havik as he felt something grab his legs, he looked down to see a severely injured Kotal weakly grab his legs in a pathetic attempt to keep fighting.

"Oh, how cute... He's still trying to fight back. If the blow from my Morningstar didn't mess up your hearing, listen up. My door is still open if you decide to change your mind and join my little cabal... But, I know you will most likely try to stop me. So, just as a little reminder to let you know about the pain ahead if you attempt to get in my way... You won't be walking for a while..." Havik pulls his legs away from Kotal's hands as he walked over to where Kotal's legs were, smiling Havik held the Morningstar over his head... and brought the weapon down onto Kotal's legs, followed by a deathly scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Earthrealm: Japan, Three Miles From The Shirai Ryu Temple, The Forest

Mileena leaped from tree branch to tree branch as she tracked down Hanzo's scent. Even though her Tarkatan enhanced senses weren't as good as someone like Reptile, Mileena's nose was still as good as a bloodhound. Already having Hanzo's scent as she continued to leap from tree to tree. All Mileena thought about now was how she was going to take Hanzo down. As much as she hated to admit it, he was far more skilled in combat and stealth then Mileena was. And no doubt a skilled ninja like Hanzo would have several tricks up his sleeve for Mileena and the three other Outworlders.

Mileena leaped to one final tree as she dug her sharp nails into the trunk as she looked down, with Hanzo's scent being stronger then ever, Mileena saw Hanzo just standing in the middle of a pathway in the woods. He was just standing there looking up at the trees around him and the birds that chirped from the trees. Mileena squinted her eyes as she stalked her prey.

Hanzo Hasashi was Grandmaster for a reason, the most skilled assassin in the original Shirai Ryu. Before the first massacre. He trained every day since he could walk, he could even shoot a bow and arrow when he was only 4 years old... Even when he was a specter, he would never stop training. Training was one of the only things he had to take his mind off of whatever problems or tragedies he experienced from his past. But it all paid off... He already knew that all the Outworlders surrounded him, hiding in the trees and in the bushes with incredible skill, but Hanzo was ready for his attack.

As he looked up at a nearby tree and saw a crow land on a branch, he heard the movement of feet speed towards him as Hanzo turned around and performed a roundhouse kick directly on Aynos cheek as she fell and performed a combat roll. Aynos quickly picked herself up as she performed a hand gesture that shot a ball of magical energy out of it that headed directly towards Hanzo. But Hanzo simply stepped aside and dodged the attack as the attack hit a rock and caused it to explode. But right as Aynos was about to preform another attack, Hanzo dashed forward and knocked out Aynos with one punch.

Hanzo stood over his defeated student, as he heard another noise of stomping feet heading right towards him. Stopping and looking over, he saw Karbrac heading right for him with his Tarkatan blades, swinging them at Hanzo viciously, while Hanzo calmly dodged each and every blade swipe. But Karbrac would not relent as he kept swinging his blades like mad, faster and with more force after each swing.

But Hanzo continued to dodge them, although after one dodge, Karbrac saw an opportunity as he looked down and saw the three Shirai Ryu coins in between Hanzo's fingers. Karbrac tried to reach for them, only for Hanzo to quickly follow up with a strike that made Karbrac stumble back. As Karbrac was distracted, Hanzo followed up with several more vicious strikes that sent Karbrac flying back, and hitting a tree that knocked him out.

"... I'm disappointed to say, I honestly expected more out of my students." Said Hanzo as he turned around to leave, but stopped as he felt his foot caught a snack, he tripped a wire as Hanzo looked over. Before the Grandmaster even knew it, around 30 to 50 ninja stars and kunai were flying right at him. But before they could even touch him, Hanzo lifted up his hand and unleashed a bloom of fire that was so hot it stopped and melted all the projectiles in mid-air before falling and hitting the ground.

Mileena's eyes widened at this action. When Mileena heard Scorpion returned to his human state, she also assumed she lost all his hellish powers as well. It made sense before, he was a specter, a spawn of Quan Chi, a vengeful spirit... but he's a human now... How is it even possible that he can manipulate hellfire in his human form. Was is a technique all along? But Mileena didn't have much time to think about it as she still focused on the fight that was going on below her.

Hanzo lowered his hand and walked forward as he looked around and smirked. "A trap. Inventive Komodai... But sadly, not enough."

Right after Hanzo said that phrase, Komodai leaped out of the trees above Hanzo and tried to leap on him. But Hanzo jumped out of the way, making Komodai land on the ground which cracked from his landing force.

Komodai looked down and eyed the coins that Hanzo still held in his hand. Komodai looked back up at him. "Like it or not Grandmaster, I'm getting those coins! And I will do my best to make sure that that abomination leaves the clan for good!"

Hanzo sighed in disappointment as he spoke. "You really have no idea what this exercise it about. Do you?"

Komodai ignored Hanzo's statement as he leaped forward once again. Komodai then released a barrage of punches and kicks upon Hanzo which the skilled ninja instantly dodged and avoided. Komodai only got two hits in before spitting acid right at Hanzo, who instantly leaned to the side and dodged the attack. As Hanzo saw his opening, he took it as he leaped in and landed several extremely strong and well placed hits on Komodai which made him stumbled back. All before Hanzo finished him off with a vicious upper cut that sent him flying off the ground and landing on his back.

Hanzo stood there for a few more moments silently... before he spoke "Come out, Mileena. I know your there."

Mileena pulled out her sai's as she jumped out of the tree she was in and landed ten feet away from Hanzo. Holding her sai's out in front of her, ready for battle with Hanzo facing away from her. Eventually he turned around to look at her as she eyed him down. Hanzo held out his hands, signaling he was ready for battle as Mileena dashed over to him.

Mileena unleashed a flurry of her own kicks, punches, and sai swiped that Hanzo either dodged or blocked. But after a few more hits, along with Hanzo trying to hit back, Mileena started to get in a few good hits as she started blocking a majority of Hanzo's attacks. Eventually doing her trademark rolling thunder which knocked Hanzo off his feet before using her teleport drop, knocking Hanzo to the ground. But before Hanzo could stand back up, Mileena leaped on top of him and pinned him down. Mileena placed her sai to his throat.

"Submit! You have been defeated, Hasashi! Now give me the coins!" Yelled Mileena as Hanzo smirked at her.

"Good work, Mileena. You have indeed subdued me, I am impressed... But, unfortunately for you, that is not the goal of this exercise." Uttered Hanzo before instantly headbutting Mileena and making her get off of him and stumble back. Hanzo immeditally stood back up and dashed over to Mileena, unleashing a flurry of burning fists on Mileena's face and stomach, before finishing off his combo with a double handed blast of fire that hit Mileena and sent her to the ground.

Hanzo stood over all the trainees, as they all started to stand back up. Hanzo allowed several moments of silence to pass before he spoke. "I have come to a decision, I will not exile any of you from the Shirai Ryu..."

Many grew smiles and expressions of joy before Hanzo continued his sentence. "Instead, ALL of you shall be exiled from the clan..."

Instantly, everyone grew expressions of shock and fear at this statement, as Hanzo continued to stare them down.

"How unfortunate. You four should have known, I am the Grandmaster of this clan. A true master of fighting and stealth, if you all attacked me together then you would've gotten the coins. But since each of you tried to attack me on your own, you couldn't defeat me." Stated Hanzo as the four Outworlders continued to stare at him.

That's when Mileena thought about it, as Hanzo held up the three golden Shirai Ryu coins that were inbetween Hanzo's fingers. "Wait... You dragged four of us out here, but you had three coins. You said that whoever got one coin could stay in the clan, there were three coins and four people. That would mean no matter what one of us would be exiled!"

Hanzo smirked as he looked over at Mileena. "Yes, that is correct. But unfortunately, you all failed, and none of you shall be given a second chance. The Shirai Ryu only allows the best of the best into it's family. It's not all about fighting, training, and combat... but it is also about heart, family, and teamwork. I understand why you three and Mileena would not get along, but you are no longer Outworlders... you are also Shirai Ryu, a family. I am not asking you to sacrifice your Outworld heritage, all I request is cooperation and teamwork. But, that seems to be too much for you to handle..."

Hanzo looked away as he stared at the ground, the four started to loose their expressions of fear and shock as Hanzo began to speak. "... The Shirai Ryu was massacred, twice. All because we were not strong enough to survive. But, I swear to the Elder Gods themselves that another massacre shall NEVER happen again... conflict breeds weakness and vulnerability. The last thing I ever want to do, is bury any of you..."

Hanzo and the four Outworlders continued to remain silent for a while. That is until Hanzo turned back around to face his students with a stern expression. "... I will give you all one more chance, but if you fail again, I will- (Bam!) AHH!"

Hanzo yelled in pain as he was shot in the arm by an unseen opponent as he fell to the ground, his Komodai, Aynos, and Karbrac tried to dash over to their master. "Grandmaster!"

But they were stopped as Mileena held out her hand and stopped the three Outworlders, as they stopped and glared at her. "What are you-!?"

"Quiet! They're all around us!" Said Mileena as she lowered her arm as the four stood there for one more second, until they heard russeling as they saw Black Dragon goons walk out from the forest, carrying rifles, blades, cattle prods, and electrified batons. One of the thugs standing in front of the rest spoke.

"Well, look at what we have here... a few filthy Shirai Ryu, the fallen empress, and Scorpion." Mileena and the rest growled at the Black Dragon goons as Hanzo held his hand over his shoulder wound as he stood back up.

"How dare you... you soil this land with your presence Black Dragon... What are you doing here?" Growled Hanzo.

"Simple, we were just sent in to test out a few of our new fancy weapons on your Shirai Ryu. Maybe we can break the record by having a third Shirai Ryu massacre?" Said the lead thug mockingly as Hanzo growled in pure spite before grabbing onto his bleeding wound again. Mileena growled herself as she took a step forward.

"What is this? Working with the Red Dragon now? I thought you two were enemies. How pathetic to go crawling to your mortal enemy for help." Mocked Mileena as the lead thug glared at Mileena for a second, before holding himself back and chuckling.

"You see, ButterFace... there's going to be a new order among the realms, and it's best the two syndicates work together in order to achieve something greater. For example, we're going to kill all of you and bring your heads to our boss..." Uttered the lead thug as he trailed off, before clapping his hands together and speaking again.

"Also, we have a surprise for you Hanzo!" Remarked the lead thug as Hanzo looked up at him as he snapped his fingers. Everyone remained silent for a moment before they heard something very big falling from the sky, as everyone looked up, a large man landed on the ground which shook from his landing. Nearly splitting the ground in two as he stood up and eyed down Hanzo.

"Scorpion! Do you know who I am!?" Yelled the man.

"No, should I?" Asked Hanzo as the man responded.

"I'm a volunteer for a project the Black Dragon had at using Outworld magic to make it's members stronger! You and your clan ripped my friends limb from FUCKING LIMB! But now... But now I can do the same thing to you!" The big thug then charged at Hanzo and with a mighty punch that can only be matched by someone like Goro or Shao Kahn, Hanzo was knocked several dozen feet away and even flew straight though a tree, splitting it in half.

"Get them!" Yelled the lead thug as over a dozen thugs dashed over to battle the four Outworlders.

The Outworlders and Black Dragon thugs fight as Mileena charged in to fight two thugs who were charging right at her. One swings his blade only for Mileena to dodge, as she then grabs the man from behind and lowers her mask. Biting him on the neck with her entire mouth as she tears the head off, holding the head by it's neck in her mouth before spitting him out.

"Freak!" Yelled the other one as he swung his electrified baton's at her, only for Mileena to dodge and kick his leg, making him fall on his knees. Mileena grabs him by the head with one hand and holds his head back, holding one of her sai's in her other hand over the thug before plunging her sai into the man's neck and forcing the blade down the front of the thugs body. Cutting him open like a fish before being tossed aside.

As Mileena was about to look for more thugs to kill, she was stopped as she looked over and saw a Black Dragon goon standing there in what appeared to be a body suit based off of the cyber Lin Kuai's design. Mileena raised and eyebrow.

"Lin Kuei?" Asked Mileena.

"Not exactly lady. Now, if you move one muscle. You'll die." Warned the thug in a gruff voice before Mileena sniffed the air, before sticking her arms out in both directions with her fingers out. Gutting two invisible thugs with her nails as the thugs turned visible and fell down dead. Mileena started sucking the blood from her fingers as she looked over at the thug.

"Your friends shouldn't have worn so much cologne... their blood tastes sweet..." Mocked Mileena as the thug activated his suit and went invisible. Mileena looked around cautiously, trying to sniff the air but as she turned around something hard like the butt of a gun hit her in the face. Mileena stumbled back as she wiped some of her own blood from her face. Still looking around, she focused in on one specific spot in front of her, only to see the air shift a bit unnaturally a she narrowed her eyes.

"Got you!" Yelled Mileena as the invisible thug fired a buckshot that barely just grazed Mileena's shoulder, Mileena tossed her sai's which impale the man in one of his shoulders while the other one entered his side. His blood leaking own disables the suit as he becomes visible again. But as he was about to blow Mileena's head off with his shotgun, Mileena charges forward and grabs the gun, forcing the barrel upwards to aim at the thug's chin as the thug tried to push back against Mileena's force.

But Mileena got what she wanted as she managed to force the barrel right under the thugs chin, as the thug accidentally pulled the trigger which splattered his head into blood and brain matter as his body falls limp.

Elsewhere, the thug grabbed Hanzo by the leg as he lifted the fire ninja up into the air and slammed him down into the ground multiple times, before tossing him aside and scoffing. "Hehehe, seriously? That's the best you got? The fearsome Scorpion turns out to be a pansy all along!"

The man charged at Hanzo as Hanzo forced himself up and dodged the big thug's blow. But Hanzo managed to regain his barrings as he hit the big thug with a series of flaming punches and kicks that made the man stumble back. Hanzo then pulled out his flaming sword and unleashed several violent slashes across the enhanced thugs chest, as he then leaped forward and punched the big thug so hard in the chest is sent him flying back. Until Hanzo unleashed his rope-dart that entered the man's chest, as Hanzo says his famous line

"GET OVER HERE!" Pulling the enhanced thug forward and kicking him in the face with such force is sends him flying into a tree that splinters from the force of the crash. The big thug started to become scared as he looked back up to see Hanzo running over to him with his burning sword as he jumped into the air and was ready to bring it down into the big thug's skull. But the big thug looked over, seeing a log lying there.

Quickly, the big thug grabbed is as he pulled the log back like a baseball back and swung it right as Hanzo got close enough. Knocking Hanzo back several dozen feet through the forest. The big thug dropped the log as he walked over to where he believe he might've knocked Hanzo to.

Back with the Outworld trio, Aynos and Karbrac were handling the thugs they were facing pretty well. But the thug Komodai was facing, carried two machetes as he swung them at Komodai. Komodai still managed to hold his own for the most part, that was until the machete wielding thug managed to stab Komodai through the gut. Causing the sumarian to fall on his knees and hold his gut wound.

The thug smiled under his mask as he raised his machete to finish him, but before he could do that, Mileena jumped up behind him as she opened her mouth as wide as she could and bit down on the thugs skull with enough force to chop the top of his head off. Mileena had the top of the thug's skull in her mouth along with his blood, brains, hair, and bits of his mask. Mileena spit out the skull and hair as she started to feast on the chunk of brain that she still had. The thug then fell on his knees and died.

Komodai looked up at Mileena who finished her feast as she looked down at him. "There, I saved your life. Are we even now?"

"No!" Yelled Komodai as he spit out a glob of acid that just missed Mileena's head and hit someone behind her who screamed in pain. Mileena looked behind her to see a Black Dragon thug with his face melting from the acid.

"Now, we're even." Said Komodai as he stood back up with Aynos and Karbrac finishing up two other thugs they were fighting. Aynos leaped into the air and stood on the thug's shoulders only to twist her legs and snap her neck. And as for Karbrac, he picked up his thug by the throat and lifted him with one hand, while extracting his blade in his other hand as he just started relentlessly stab the thug in the gut over and over and blood and guts spilled out. Karbrac finished his brutal fatality by stabbing the thug one more time in the gut before tossing him aside.

"Is everyone okay?" asked Aynos as everyone around her nodded.

"But, where is Grandmaster Hasashi?" Asked Komodai as a voice answered him.

"Right here." They all looked over to see the big thug holding up an injured and bloody Hanzo by the back of the head. Treating him like a ragdoll as he lifted him up.

"You bastard! If you hurt him you-!" Mileena was interrupted.

"Don't worry freak, he's already dead!" Said the big thug as the four Outworlders eyes widened in disbelief as the big thug continued to laugh.

"Haha! Oh man, I wish someone would take my picture!" Said the big thug holding up Hanzo, as if he was a hunting trophy. But that's when Hanzo's eyes open as he shoves his rope-dart spear straight through the back of the big thugs neck and exiting out the front of his neck as he started to choke on his own blood.

"Make sure to send me a copy..." Said Hanzo as he forces the spear up, cutting through the man's skull, splitting his head in two as the big thug fell on the ground dead. Hanzo walked over to his students as he nearly collapsed, but when Mileena, Komodai and the rest reached out to help up Hanzo, Hanzo held out his hand in protest.

"Stop, I am fine." Uttered Hanzo as he stood back up and looked at the carnage all around him.

"What was this? How did they get so deep into the forest without us getting alerted about it?" Asked Karbrac as Hanzo bent down and picked up one of the helmets that the invisible thugs were using as Hanzo examined it.

"No doubt about it, they are definitely Black Dragon. But was is strange is how they got ahold of cyber Lin Kuai technology." Said Hanzo as he turned around, showing the group the helmet he held in his hands.

"Ssso... what doesss that mean? The Lin Kuai are selling their technology to the Black Dragon?" Asked Komodai as Hanzo looked back up.

"Absolutely not. Grandmaster Sub-Zero despised the cyber Lin Kuai, he buried and destroyed as much of it's technology as he could before rebuilding the Lin Kuai. It's possible they could've have stolen it, but in any case, I will contact Sub-Zero and the Special Forces about what is going on." Stated Hanzo as Mileena spoke up.

"This wasn't even an attack for them, they appeared to be testing the waters before executing their real attack. And, it wouldn't surprise me if both the Black Dragon and the Red Dragon answered to a higher power. Higher then Kano and higher then Daegon."

"In any case, we need to head back to the Temple and tell the patrols about what was going on. The clan shall never be threatened again." Said Hanzo as he attached the helmet to his belt as he was about to walk off with his students. But as he was about to walk, he instantly stopped and turned back around.

"Speaking of the clan..." Hanzo turned to look at all four of the Outworlders, still trying their best to hide their nervousness and fear of the possible aspect of being exiled. Hanzo stared down the four before stating his final verdict. "You may all stay."

Almost all of the members had their eyes widen in surprise as Hanzo continued "During the battle, you all shown great skill and power as you took down those who have threatened you and the Shirai Ryu. Even more importantly, you were there for each other in combat. Protecting one another and fighting for each other. Good work, all of you."

"Now, follow me. It's time to le-ugh!" Hanzo stopped walking and crouched over in pain due to his injuries. Several members of the group appeared like they wanted to help up their master, but didn't want to receive a scolding for disobeying his orders. Mileena stood there for a while a she rolled her eyes, as she then shook her head and walked over to Hanzo.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Asked Hanzo as Mileena threw his arm over her as she helped him up.

"Enough of this foolishness, this is no time for this ridiculous facade of invariability when you are possibly suffering from internal bleeding. So quit the tough guy act and allow me to help you back before your injuries worsen!" Growled Mileena as she helped Hanzo walked forward. Hanzo was about to protest once more, but after looking at Mileena's facial expression... she saw that her decision was final. It was possibly due to the injuries he's received or if he was just drained from the battle, or even something else, but he didn't want to argue with Mileena. Allowing her to help him walk back to the Shirai Ryu temple as Komodai, Aynos, and Karbrac followed along.

Hanzo looked down at Mileena once more to see blood all over her face and hands. "Mileena, how did you get that blood all over your hands and mouth?"

"Oh, I ate the brain of one of the Black Dragon goons who attacked us." Said Mileena as Hanzo stared at her and remained silent for a moment. Before responding.

"... Okay then."

Earthrealm: America, Special Forces Base

In the Special Forces base, Cassie's team consisting of Cassie, Jacqui, Jin, Johnny, Kenshi, and four Special Forces officers covered in armor and holding rifles were on their way to the Special Forces Realm Portal Machine. All with Sonya leading the group down the hallway.

"Get ready team, our last report said that the Red Dragon and the mysterious attacker were spotted in Outworld. And as far as our report goes, these guys ARE NOT messing around, so BE CAREFUL!" Commanded Sonya as the group walked through several more automatic doors.

"Don't worry commander, we've faced worse. And we'll be as careful as possible. But more importantly, we won't let you down." Said Cassie as Johnny smiled and glanced over at his daughter.

"That's my girl!"

"Happy to hear your confident, your gonna need that." Stated Sonya as the group finally entered the portal room where the group was standing in front of a massive portal machine.

"Alright, before you leave yo-" But before Sonya could finish her sentence, there was a flash of light where the portal machine was, almost blinding everyone as a portal started to open up. Sonya looked over at the technician at the computer as she yelled at him.

"What are you doing!? Shut that portal down!" Yelled Sonya as the technician tried his very best to fix the problem to no effect.

"We can't ma'am! It's not us! It's being generated by someone else!" Yelled the technician as everyone looked back at the portal only to see four men carry a throne through the portal, with none other then Kotal Kahn sitting on the throne with strange metal braces around his legs. Soon followed by Kotal's heavily injured lieutenants that included Erron Black, Ermac, Reptile, and Ferra/Torr.

The Special Forces stood there silently as Kotal's throne was sat down on the ground, Kotal then turned his head to look at Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Cassie Cage, and the rest of Earthrealm's defenders. Another moment of awkward silence passed before Kotal was the one to speak up.

"Commander Sonya Blade, Outworld requires your help." Sonya stood there in shock for a moment, before gaining a spiteful look as she glared down Kotal Kahn.

"You've gotta be fucking kidding me..."

Note: Wow, that was long... I really do appreciate those long detailed reviews by Thotiana and Too lazy to Log, thank you for your thoughts and advise. It's really just a force of habit the way I write, your right. The way you advised me to write is much smoother and better then what I'm doing, I just get these "waves" as you might say, where I need to write down what I am thinking right away before whatever I'm thinking fades way. I also appreciate the spelling errors you guys pointed out, during my free time I will go through the previous chapters and try to correct any spelling errors I find. Also, to all you weab readers out there... yeah, I kinda got that "team building exercise" from the bell test in Naruto, but it was coins and not bells, so that's not plagiarism right?... right?... Please don't sue me. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. Bye.

Mortal Kombat Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

https://ift.tt/32FL0Or

This Mortal Kombat article contains spoilers.

There’s a new Mortal Kombat live-action movie out on HBO Max, and it comes after nearly 30 years of games, cartoons, and movie adaptations. With such a long history to pick through, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the new movie has more than a few easter eggs and references to the series’ most famous moments and characters. Why wouldn’t there be? Why even make a new movie if you’re not going to throw your fans a bone or twenty exploding skulls?

We’re keeping track of all the neat easter eggs that fill the 2021 film, from obscure character references to loving nods to the games’ most gruesome Fatcalities. Here’s what we’ve found so far:

Kombat Jargon

Cole Young rightfully notes that “Mortal Kombat” is spelled incorrectly. Series creators Ed Boon and John Tobias each have their own explanation for the spelling. Boon claimed that “Combat” was a workshopped name for the game and someone added a K to be weird. Tobias said that the K was there just so they could trademark the term.

As it’s custom for the Mortal Kombat announcers to say who won each match, Kano takes care of this himself when he kills Reptile and smugly says, “Kano wins.”

When Kung Lao kills Nitara, he notes, “Flawless victory.” That’s what the announcers say in-game whenever someone has a perfect round. At least it’s used correctly here, unlike the original movie, where people would say, “Flawless victory,” in regards to fights where both sides took blows.

There are many deaths in the movie, but only Liu Kang announces, “Fatality,” like in the game.

Scorpion and Sub-Zero

Bi-Han killing Hanzo Hasashi has been depicted many times in Mortal Kombat media, though canonically in the game Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. The version in this movie more closely resembles the events of the animated film Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge. The big difference that sets this movie apart from the others is the fact that Hanzo existed centuries ago and not in the present. That, and the depiction of Sub-Zero as pure evil. While Bi-Han is no saint, his killing of Hanzo is usually depicted as strictly business. In the games, the murder of Scorpion’s family is the doing of Quan Chi, who uses the tragedy to manipulate Scorpion into his service.

Outside of his feud with Scorpion, Sub-Zero’s villain status in this movie more closely matches the origin of Erron Black, the anachronistic Wild West gunslinger who first showed up in Mortal Kombat X. Centuries ago, Shang Tsung felt threatened by a potential challenger in the Mortal Kombat tournament. He hired Erron Black to assassinate the threat, and in return Tsung would teach Black the secrets to living for thousands of years.

Scorpion pulls off his classic Toasty Fatality, which also turns his mouth into charred bone. Scorpion’s always had this weird situation going on with his face where sometimes it’s flesh and sometimes it’s just a skull. Here, we get a bit of both!

Sonya Blade and Jackson Briggs

On Sonya’s research wall, there’s a book excerpt on a Native American tribe called Matokans, focusing on shamans and warriors. The clipping mentions a tribe member known as “the Night wolf.” Nightwolf is a character (and title) introduced in the third game. He strongly resembles the sketch included in the clipping. “Matokan Warrior” is one of his variations in Mortal Kombat 11.

Also on the wall is a photo of a sculpture of the Mayan God of War, Buluc Chabtan. In Mortal Kombat lore, this is the Outworld warrior Kotal Kahn, who for a time ventured into Earthrealm and was worshipped as a god by the Mayans. The character was introduced in Mortal Kombat X when he took over Outworld in the aftermath of Shao Kahn’s death. While still barbaric, his rule was considered more progressive than his predecessor’s.

While Sonya’s rings attack is treated as a superpower here, in the games, it’s treated as more of a high-tech wrist weapon.

The subplot about Sonya’s worth due to her lack of dragon tattoo could be interpreted as a commentary on how the original movie handled Sonya in the third act. Shang Tsung kidnapped her and chose to make her the finalist in the tournament, which everyone treated as a fight Sonya could never win in a million years. The way the original movie turned Sonya into a damnsel in distress annoys many fans to this day.

The origin of Jax’s metal arms has been told many different ways through the decades. He’s lost them at the hands of Baraka, Ermac, a Special Forces goon, and Goro. This is the first time Sub-Zero has been responsible.

Jax splattering his opponent’s head with a clap of the hands is a Fatality he’s had since Mortal Kombat II.

Kano and the Black Dragon

Kano has trouble using the GPS to track Raiden’s temple. This is probably a callback to the original movie, where Shang Tsung’s Island caused Sonya’s compass to go haywire.

Kano’s face gets clawed up, and later he’s able to shoot a red laser from his eye socket. In the games, Kano has a metal plate over his eye, giving him that laser ability.

The heart rip was Kano’s Fatality in the first game. He’s since introduced many variations of it.

The Black Dragon is brought up a few times. A scummier offshoot of the terrorist organization the Red Dragon, Kano’s group has included such characters as Kabal, Jarek, Kira, Kobra, Erron Black, and Tremor.

Kabal blames Kano for why he’s stuck in his respirator-based costume. In the games, Kabal was a Black Dragon member who left the group and became a cop. During the events of Mortal Kombat 3, Kabal was burned alive by Kintaro. Kano actually saved Kabal and hooked him up to the respirators in hopes of recruiting him. Shang Tsung tried to use magic to heal Kabal’s lungs, which gave him super-speed as a side-effect.

Kano refers to Raiden as “Gandalf” and considers his comrades’ magical attacks as “Harry Potter shit.” Fitting that Kano’s references keep with properties owned by Warner Bros.

Kano’s overall story here is a lot like the ’90s comic book Mortal Kombat: Rayden and Kano. In the comic, Rayden (they spelled it differently back then) attempted to hire Kano to help destroy Shao Kahn, as he was the descendant of a hero who liberated Outworld long ago. Kano ultimately betrayed Rayden, just as he betrays his teammates in this movie.

Liu Kang and Kung Lao

Kano refers to Liu Kang as “MC Hammer” due to their shared love of puffy pants.

Liu Kang brings up Master Bo’ Rai Cho, a character introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Bo’ Rai Cho (a play on “boracho” meaning “drunk” in Spanish) is an Outworld warrior who sympathized with Earthrealm and chose to protect it from Shao Kahn. Being from Outworld, he could not enter Mortal Kombat without it counting against Earthrealm. Instead, he’s dedicated thousands of years to training Shaolin warriors in hopes of one of them winning the tournament and ending Outworld’s streak. He mentored Liu Kang and Kung Lao firsthand.

Kung Lao mentions being the descendant of the original Kung Lao. The Great Kung Lao was a Shaolin monk who regularly defended Earthrealm in Mortal Kombat. He even defeated Shang Tsung at least once. But his streak came to an end at the hands of Goro. Later games revealed that the modern Kung Lao is a reincarnation of the original.

Mortal Kombat: The Challenges of Making the Movie Reboot

By Gene Ching

Liu Kang is able to get the better of Kano by spamming the leg sweep. This is a reference to a very annoying tactic in the early games.

The way Kung Lao kills Nitara is similar to his Fatality from Mortal Kombat 9, the difference being that, in the game, the victim is cut apart crotch-first.

Kung Lao dying to drive Liu Kang’s story forward is a regular trope in Mortal Kombat. Lao’s death first came in Mortal Kombat 3. But in the Mortal Kombat 9 reboot, Kung Lao went on a major winning streak during the retelling of Mortal Kombat II, but then Shao Kahn grabbed him from behind and snapped his neck. Liu Kang reacted by punching a hole through Kahn’s chest.

Raiden’s Temple

The paintings depict the Great Kung Lao standing over a beaten Shang Tsung. Kung Lao is probably the victim of the painting of Goro tearing a poor guy in half. Other images show Bi-Han murdering Hanzo and the rule of Shao Kahn, the true villain in the Outworld invasion.

One painting shows Argus and Delia, protectors of the realm Edenia, watching over the prone body of a bearded man with some kind of war going on in a cloud above. This man appears to be one of their sons, either Taven or Daegon. Both were put in a slumber as part of a prophecy/contest to stop Armageddon, an event where so many Mortal Kombat characters were at war that it threatened to destroy reality itself.

There’s a fan on display belonging to Kitana. Kitana is Shao Kahn’s adopted daughter and brainwashed assassin. She tends to betray Outworld and align herself with Liu Kang. Strangely, while she isn’t in this movie, her clone Mileena is.

Shang Tsung and Outworld

While Reptile has been around since the first Mortal Kombat game, the design used for the movie is based on Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Like in the game, Reptile’s abilities include invisibility, an extended tongue, and acid saliva.

In the games, Nitara first appeared in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. She’s depicted as a loner and manipulator who wants to bring back her lost vampire realm. A very random choice to be sure, but she also had a cameo in Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, so somebody out there really digs her.

General Reiko was first introduced in Mortal Kombat 4 as one of Shinnok’s henchmen. He was given an extremely vague ending that had him running into a portal to parts unknown, but certain home ports expanded on it to show him putting on Shao Kahn’s mask, suggesting they were the same person. This was later handwaved away as Reiko just really liking Kahn’s mask and wanting power for himself.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

When Reiko was brought back in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he was given the giant warhammer as his weapon stance.

When killing Kung Lao, Shang Tsung tells him, “Your soul is mine!” That hammy quote was Shang Tsung’s go-to threat in the first movie. Also, eating souls is Tsung’s go-to Fatality in just about any game.

Goro threatens to tear out Cole’s spine. While that is more of Sub-Zero’s thing, it’s also the iconic Fatality that Mortal Kombat is remembered for. Fellow Shokan warrior Sheeva also has a spine-ripping Fatality in Mortal Kombat 11.

Johnny Cage

The movie ends with a teaser for Johnny Cage, who will presumably appear in the sequel if that project happens. In the final shot of the movie, we see a cropped image of a movie poster for Citizen Cage, one of Johnny’s many established movies from the game’s lore. The poster shows him wearing his large “CAGE” belt buckle, which was introduced in Mortal Kombat 9. That makes it all the more likely that he’ll have “JOHNNY” tattooed across his chest.

There’s another movie poster to the side that we can’t see too much of other than it having “Fist” in the title. Going on the games, this could be The Gist of My Fist or Dragon Fist.
