Mortal Kombat: Enenra's Shadow

Chapter 5: Fight For Freedom

CW: Gore (duh), foul language, writing that twitter would fucking hate

Viktor woke up in a prison cell, quickly realizing his right hand was missing, and miraculously it was serrated and not bleeding, but god damnit did it hurt. He then saw Sub Zero, the man who shattered his hand, walk into the room. Viktor was furious to see him.

SUB ZERO: I see you’ve woken up. Good.

He said with a deep tone. Viktor was still a bit sleepy. And because of that, his mouth didn't work properly.

VIKTOR: Wait, what time is it?

SUB ZERO: 11 pm. Now, why did you attack my men, crippled none and stole from our sacred grounds?

Viktor tried to make up a lie on the spot. But, alas, the boy was a horrible liar. His hands started shaking.

VIKTOR: I… Uh... I'm a florist, I sell flowers for a living and I needed the flower to complete my collection, you see, and uh- and then... uh...

SUB ZERO: You are a terrible liar. Tell me the truth, or else I'll take more than an arm from you.

Viktor's breath got quicker and sweat fell down his neck. The teen's heart was beating fast, and his body was shivering. As he looked the bastard dead in the eyes, his terrified expression turned into a face of pure rage, he started to speak in his native language.

VIKTOR: <Eat my asshole, you son of a bitch.>

The Lin Kuei Grandmaster didn't understand what he said, but he knew it wasn't a compliment. He grabbed his collar, ready to beat the kid senseless, until Sektor walked into the room. Bi-Han let go of the boy, and turn to the armorer.

SEKTOR: You wanted me here, Grandmaster?

SUB ZERO: Precisely, Sektor. You must interrogate him while I take care of the contents inside of his bag. Get the information by any means necessary.

SEKTOR: Understood, Grandmaster.

She said, as Bi-Han exited the room. Viktor was sitting there, thinking what she could do to him. He was shaking as she approached her.

SEKTOR: Now, then. Why are you really here?

Viktor held what remained of his hand, looking Sektor as serious and unfazed as possible. Sektor looked down, exhaling, then looked at the boy.

SEKTOR: You may have fooled Bi-Han, but nothing gets passed me. So tell me: What. Do. You. Want. Here?

VIKTOR: Nothing special, really. 20 bucks, some vodka and a bag of chips. Maybe a quick fuck too, who knows--

Sektor punched the boy with her metal gauntlet into the brick wall.

SEKTOR: Stop joking. This is no laughing matter. Now answer. The. Question. Or else I'll beat you into a bloody pulp.

Viktor started coughing, as Sektor received a call, and answered it by pressing a button on her helmet.

SEKTOR: What is it?

HYDRO: Please send search parties all through the temple, we have an intruder and now he's gone!

Sektor sighed in disappointment.

SEKTOR (to Viktor): I'll be right back. Don't move an inch.

VIKTOR (weakly): I just might.

He said, as she walked away. Enenra was now awake.

VIKTOR (sarcastically to Enenra): Welcome back, shithead.

ENENRA: Look, I'm sorry for leaving you on your own back there, but I got a plan. You see that knife over there?

Enenra grumbled, turning Viktor's attention to a knife on the floor.

VIKTOR: ...No.

ENENRA: The wound on your arm is already sealed, but if you can re-open it, I could grow you a new hand.

VIKTOR: That's bullshit.

ENENRA: Do you think someone is going to fall out of the ceiling to rescue you and give you something to help you out?

And as Enenra said that, out of the ceiling fell the man from the cafe.

NICO: Hi. No time to explain, grab your shit, I'm breaking you out of here.

Enenra slithered out of Viktor's shoulder, surprised.

ENENRA: Wait a fucking minute. You're the old man from the shop. What are you doing here?

Nico pulled his mask down and smiled.

NICO: Surprise. Now, let's go, I have a plane waiting for us.

He opened the cell and handed him the knife.

VIKTOR: Thanks, but I hope it's not a bad time to ask...

Nico looked at the boy, with a bit of confusion.

VIKTOR: Can you just cut my hand here? Like, open the wound? Asking for him.

He said, pointing to Enenra on his shoulder.

VIKTOR: He says if you do, he can heal my arm.

Nico, hesitant, approached the boy and quickly cut the wound. Viktor inhaled and grinned his teeth, after which Enenra covered the wound, begining the healing process.

ENENRA: Now, without any food, that should heal in about three days.

VIKTOR: We don't HAVE three days!

NICO: Hmmm... What kind of food?

Enenra and Viktor looked at each other, then at Nico.

ENENRA: A brain. Preferably human.

NICO: Gotcha.

Nico snapped his fingers, as his daggers flew up and dragged the body of a Lin Kuei down onto the floor, after which his daggers came back to him.

NICO: Will this do?

ENENRA: HELLS YEAH!!!

Enenra covered Viktor's body and in seconds, consumed the body's head. Enenra deactivated and Viktor stuttered around a little from a headache. Quickly he pulled himself together, as he could feel his hand tickle slightly. Nico rushed in to hold the boy.

NICO: You good?

Viktor breathed semi-heavily, but giggled very lightly.

VIKTOR: Yeah. It even kind of tickles.

Nico exhaled, but then turned to the door, as he heard several footsteps.

NICO: We gotta get the fuck out, now.

Nico said, as he grabbed Viktor's arm and the two ran. Viktor's hand was now half-way healed, as they almost encountered a hallway full of Lin Kuei armed to the teeth with the new armors that resembled Sektors.

NICO (quietly): That goopy demon thing could reeeally come in handy right about now.

VIKTOR: Right. Enenra? Suit me up.

ENENRA: Copy!

Enenra suited Viktor up, and the two ran straight through the wall of the armored Lin Kuei. They didn't kill anyone, but fairly beat the shit out of each and every single one of them. After beating them, Nico had a bad idea. So bad, infact, it was good.

NICO: Hey, we should light this place up.

ENENRA: That sounds--

Enenra's face opened, revealing half of Viktor's face.

VIKTOR: TERRIBLE! We are not lighting anything on fire!

NICO: Oh, come on! It'll be fun. Besides, that'll stop them from following us for a good amount of time.

Viktor looked down onto the floor, before looking up and taking a deep breath.

VIKTOR: I'll think about it. Right now, we have to escape before--

SEKTOR: There you are!

Before he could finish his sentence, Sektor and Bi-Han found the two.

VIKTOR: That. Before that.

The three turned around, eyeing the armorer and Grandmaster.

NICO: I'll take on the furious blueberry, you get the dollar store robot.

Viktor and Enenra looked at Sektor with determination, responding to Nico in unison.

VIKTOR & ENENRA: Deal.

The two charged, Nico at the Grandmaster and Viktor at the Mechanic. The Red Robin had an advantage on the Grandmaster with his kicks and punches, while Enenra was trying their best not to permanently injure the armorer but it was tough, given her metal armor. Enenra tried and tried to land a hit, only to be blocked. Then, they managed to punch her with a tendril. They heard a crack in her visor. Sektor was a bit disoriented, but managed to get up and block his unexpected hits from behind. While she was turned around, Enenra poked her back, and decked her in the helmet so hard, she flew seven meters backwards. Not dead, just her armor is so damaged she can barely move. She pulled up her visor as Enenra looked down at her.

ENENRA: Even if I wanted to, I won't kill you. You're only his lackey, after all.

Enenra turned around to look for Bi-Han. In seconds, he discovered that Sub Zero and Red Robin took the fight outside. While Viktor and Enenra were fighting Sektor, the Grandmaster kicked Nico through the door, knocking him to the floor of the training grounds.

SUB ZERO: For meddling with the Lin Kuei’s business, you shall face death.

Nico would laugh, spinning his knife in the air before catching it.

NICO: I may be a bit old, but this ain't where I bite the dust.

Bi-Han scoffs, as Nico rushes in to hit him from above. Bi-Han predicted this, and grabbed his leg, slamming him into the floor.

NICO (thinking to himself): Okay, now I'm really hoping the writer is on my side.

He got up and dodged an ice blast from Sub Zero, and left a small slash Sub Zero's face. Nico chuckles, hopping around while Bi-Han looked furious as he wiped blood from his face.

NICO (playfully): What's the matter, cold balls? Never got touched by a blade before? heheh..

And Nico saying that was Bi-han's last straw, as his rage grew. He shot an ice blast, hitting and freezing Nico's hand.

NICO: Oh, shit!!

Bi-Han, using that as a distraction, grabbed his throat, slamming him to the floor. Nico groaned as he struggled for his life.

SUB ZERO: Give up. Your life is already over.

Nico's eyes roll back a little, and as his eyes fully close, he tries to have a laugh.

SUB ZERO: ...What is your illness? WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!!??

NICO: Because...

He coughed, trying to say something as Bi-Han's grip grew tighter.

NICO: ... He's about to kick your ass.

Nico said as Bi-Han looked up and saw Enenra's hand stretch out to punch him almost off of the cliff. Nico could breathe again, as Enenra unmasked himself, and half of Viktor's sleep deprived eyes looked at him with pure determination.

VIKTOR & ENENRA: Time to tag out, old man. He's mine..

NICO: Go get'im, kiddo.

Enenra would suit Viktor, and the duo would dash in to attack. He'd try his best, but Bi-Han had an advantage on him.

SUB ZERO: I know what you are. His weakness is also your own. You cannot hope to defeat me, foolish child.

Enenra would push himself away from the Grandbastard, standing upright.

VIKTOR: You know? Perhaps you're right, you are stronger, smarter and far more experienced... I have something you could never hope to have.

He said as Enenra dashed in and attacked. As Bi-Han attempts to freeze his hand, Enenra would kick the Grandmaster to the side, causing him to lose balance.

VIKTOR: A reason to keep fighting…

He said as he grabbed and tossed the Lin Kuei into a wall.

ENENRA: …And dirty tactics!

Bi-Han threw ice-blasts at the demon, freezing his limbs, which just kept growing back as Enenra menacingly approached him and unmasked Viktor.

VIKTOR: Now, I'm about to repay you, for what you did to me...

The boy said as he picked him up by the collar.

VIKTOR: This. Is for my arm.

He said, as the Grandmaster was tossed into the wall.

VIKTOR & ENENRA: And THIS is for the people we had to fight in order to find that fucking flower!

Enenra masked him again and before he can deliver the killing blow, Sektor intervened by shooting a missile at Enenra, which barely fazed him. Enenra turned to his right to eye the armorer, who was carrying the bag in one hand and a weapon in the other. Enenra unsuited Viktor, except his left hand, which he was using to hold Bi-Han against the wall.

VIKTOR: Well, I'll give you this, you're persistent. If anything.

BI-HAN: Don't let her stop you. Kill me. I'd rather die than let the Lin Kuei fall into the hands of a monster like you.

VIKTOR: Bro, even if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't take over your shitty little ninja fanclub. I came here for the flower that is currently around her hips and that's it.

Viktor would turn to Sektor, who was walking closer and closer. She readied her weapon at him.

VIKTOR: Speaking of which...

Sektor turned her weapon at Nico who was still on the ground. She pinned him down with nowhere to run as Viktor watched in disbelief.

VIKTOR: Hey, what the FUCK ARE YOU DOING?

He said, turning to the armorer who stood over the masked man.

SEKTOR: My job. You kill the grandmaster, he dies.

NICO: You know, I didn't think that this is how I'd go out but I mean if you're offering--

He said, struggling as Sektor stomped on his ribs.

VIKTOR (quietly): Don't you dare...

Sektor pressed a button and started charging her missile.

NICO: Viktor, calm down...

VIKTOR: YOU ARE BEING HELD AT GUNPOINT, HOW AND WHY SHOULD I!?

NICO: Because...

He said, as his daggers started flying from the bench behind him and slash Sektor's ankle, and she fires her missiles's into the sky, leaving an opening for Nico to kick her away from him and leave her on the ground for a minute, jumping back on his own feet.

NICO: …I always have a plan.

Viktor's grip would loosen and Bi-Han would kick him away onto a barrel of gunpowder. As Bi-Han would approach him, Viktor would throw the barrel forward, missing Bi-Han completely.

SUB ZERO: Oh poor you... you missed your target, and you are fresh out of options.

VIKTOR: Am I really?

Bi-Han looked confused. Viktor pointed behind him, as Red Robin tossed his dagger at the barrel. The dagger, piercing the barrel, was light on fire, and noticing this, Bi-Han ran to help Sektor, throwing the Barrel inside the temple with a freezing gust of wind before it could blow up in Sektor's proximity. Nico's dagger returned to him and on the way, it snagged the bag off the floor. Nico ran over to help Viktor up and the barrel exploded right as they ran away from the temple, getting away from the fire and explosions. They ran off into the woods, disappearing without a trace. Sektor and Bi-Han were still outside, away from the blast

SUB ZERO: Sektor, are you hurt?

She groaned, and took off the helmet, coughing a little.

SEKTOR: Nothing serious, Bi-Han.

SUB ZERO: Very well. I expect a full recovery from you. After this fire is put out.

As the two would walk away, an explosion in the temple would set fire to almost everything, forcing Bi-Han to leave Sektor outside as he goes into the flames to put them out.
