I don't own Mortal Kombat!

A/N: This is during the tournament in Mortal Kombat nine. Kitana is still fighting with Shao Kahn. Don't question it.

More Than That

Going Away

Mileena walked down the winding stairway that lead to Shao Kahn's throne room. Her beloved sister, Kitana, had come to her chambers and told her that their father requested her in his throne room. Mileena wore her tight pink, revealing outfit, completed with her mask to hide her face. Her eyes were an astounding yellow with black, diamond shaped pupils in the middle. Her black hair stopped at about her shoulders. Her shoes clicked against the stone stairs, echoing off the walls. She rounded one last turn before seeing her father sitting upon his throne. She walked to the center of the room and stood before him.

''You requested that I see you?'' Mileena asked, placing one hand on her hip. ''Yes'' the emperor replied in his deep and commanding voice. ''For part of your training in the tournament, you will be sent to different realms to defeat their champions. You will prove to me that you are my daughter'' Shao Kahn said. Mileena's eyes narrowed. She slowly took in what her father said. ''And what for Kitana?'' she asked. Surely her sister would get something easier. Shao Kahn knew that Mileena had to be the better fighter, right? ''Kitana has her own assignment, you have yours'' he replied. Mileena growled. Her sister didn't like her, that Mileena knew. Every time Mileena would call her ''sister'', she would see Kitana with her hand on her bladed fans. Then she would reply ''you are not my sister'' and leave it at that. Mileena wanted Kitana to like her. She sighed and growled at all those memories. Sometimes, it made her want to strangle Kitana. Why wouldn't Kitana just accept her already? Why couldn't she accept the fact that she had a sister that loved her? Did that single fact kill Kitana that badly? She had been created about a week ago, so Kitana had to be used to her now.

Or was it the fact that she was part monster? With her being half tarkatan and having tarkatan blood coursing through her veins? It gave her a vicious streak and made her a brutal fighter who showed no mercy. She was equally beauty and beast. She thought of it a gift at sometimes, and a curse at other times. She would show Kitana who was the best. She'd kill every champion that every realm had to offer. They'd beg her for mercy, but she would not and never show it. No realm would stand a chance against her brutality. And maybe, just maybe, she'd go for a bigger goal.

Mileena would show Shao Kahn that she was his true daughter. That she deserves to be the heir to the throne of Out World. Her name would be known throughout the realms. At the very mention of her, people would tremble in fear.

She would complete this training and she would be the best warrior Out World had ever seen! She smiled under her mask and asked ''when do I start?''. ''Now'' Shao Kahn answered. A portal opened to her left. Without one word, she walked towards it, determination written across her face. She didn't stop and she didn't look back. She never hesitated. She stepped through the portal, then grinned with delight. As soon as she stepped out of another portal, Mileena inspected her surroundings. The sky was a yellow color and demons flew around, screeching. She was up on a craggy mountain side, surrounded by a few trees and bushes.

She glanced down the side of the mountain. Down below, a bed of spikes covered the ground. A few bodies lay there, slowly decaying. She could see a few bones beneath the spikes. The mountain was too steep to climb down and the edge was too jagged. Mileena weighed her options. She could either die trying to get down this mountain or she could take a less dangerous way out. On a regular basis, she lived for danger, but someone was waiting for a fight. And she was going to give it to them. A pink light in the shape of a circle appeared beneath her. She smiled as she dropped through it. She appeared right at the bottom of the mountain, clear of the bed of spikes. She started walking before she heard a screeching noise behind her. Her smile grew bigger and her eyes narrowed.

She turned around, finding a demon that stood about seven feet tall. He had wings on his back that were stretched out to their full width. Each wing went out about four feet away from the body. His skin color was a dark brown. His eyes were red and he had black dragon like horns atop his head.

''Mileena'' it hissed out. Mileena knew that the event of her training had been spread to all the warriors of the opposing realms. She grinned under her mask before responding ''Let's play''.

I hope you liked the start of my new Mortal Kombat story!
