***Frost***

Frost had waited so long in the Lin Kuei palace for her former Grandmaster to return. She had spent what seemed like an eternity sneaking around, careful not to be seen by any of her old clan members. When she had done so many things to disgrace her reputation as a one of the Lin Kuei assassins, the clan marked her as a traitor. When Frost had attempted to steal the Dragon Medallion from her Grandmaster, he had merely fended her off without even using his powers. Sub-Zero only gave her word of advice to become stronger if she wished to kill him and take his clan.

Sub-Zero had let her go without punishment; Frost had never understood why her old master had always been so lenient with her. It always caused him trouble when he did not publicly punish her when it was needed. Other Lin Kuei warriors would become suspicious of Sub-Zero and said he was not worthy of the title Grandmaster. Though when called to do a mission for the Grandmaster, they would gladly lick his snow covered boot. Frost thought it was hilarious how the warriors in her clan could be so… two faced. She was the only female warrior and she had more dignity than most of the males.

"FROST SHE'S HERE!" exclaimed a mask warrior turning the corner. Frost had been so wrapped up in her thoughts that she did not notice the approaching footsteps. In a quick motion she pulled out her dagger and overtook the man. Feeling him panic for a brief second, she thrust her dagger in the back of his head; severing his brain stem. Frost dropped the now limp carcass and observed him.

"You were too weak anyways. A real Lin Kuei warrior would show fear to NO ONE!" Frost stated as she looked at his dead frightened face. As she was going to dispose of the body she heard more hurried footsteps. Forgetting of her current operation she left the body and ran. She did not want to get caught by the warriors it would only slow her progress on getting the Dragon Medallion once and for all. The new enhanced power Shao Kahn had given her would surely kill Sub-Zero. She would keep her end of the deal when she became Grandmaster. Frost would use the Lin Kuei to her advantage and help Shao Kahn. After all he had done nothing but make her stronger. Isn't that what Sub-Zero wanted? To be challenged during the battle for the leadership of the clan?

Frost kept ahead of old clan members for some time but grew weary. Three days without sleep or food was exhausting and she just couldn't take it any longer. She had become delusional and her judgment became passive. She knew she had to find the exit and soon. She could no longer participate in the folly. She needed a new strategy before she tried this again. Barging in the palace was not a good plan. Besides that, Sub-Zero was off with Smoke and Raiden, probably trying to fault Shao Kahn's plans. Finally reaching a way out of the temple, Frost took one last glance behind her to check if she would have time to make her escape. Not stopping her sprint she began to turn her head when she smacked into a hard surface. The impact had knocked her off her feet. She landed with a hard thud on the wooden floor. Looking up to see what she had hit, her eyes met with the all too familiar icy blue ones she had seen many times before in her training. Glaring down back at her was no one other than Sub-Zero. Smoke at his right and another Lin Kuei warrior to his left. Smoke rushed to Frost and kept her from running off. The warrior began to explain the situation to his master.

"What is the meaning of this.." questioned Sub-Zero.

"Well.. um.. Grandmaster you see. Frost apparently gained entry to the fortress without our knowledge while you were absent. We failed to notice her until one of our own shouted that he had spotted her. When some others reached the warrior that had shouted…. he was.. dead.. MURDERED BY HER!" shouted the young masked figure. "I was ordered to come and seal the entrance to keep her from escaping, and that is when I saw you enter the doors; and Frost hit you." the man finished looking to his feet.

"Where is Hydro?"

"Um.. Hydro? I have not seen him Grandmaster.. I do not know where he has gone to."

Glancing at the warrior Sub-Zero raised his tone to show that he was not amused, "Do not lie to me.. or there will be punishment for your deceit assassin."

"Forgive me Grandmaster, let me assume my rightful place.. Hydro was at the training area working with the new recruits. That is the last I had saw of him before all of this 'excitement'."

"Why did Hydro fail to tend to this matter himself? Instead, he felt he should let the lower ranking men do his work for him, they could have been slaughtered by Frost. She is not to be taken lightly she is vengeance hungry and it makes her crazy!" Sub-Zero boomed at the warrior.

"Hey, I'm still here ya know? I can hear you!" Frost said to loud so she could be known.

"I am aware, be silent.. you have done enough Pàntú.."

Frost was astonished that Sub-Zero had been so blunt and somewhat rude to her. He had never been one to speak his thoughts. He would only use his expressions to tell someone when he had heard enough of them. Yet they always failed to see his shift in moods and caused them to be punished. Frost laughed as she thought of the ignorance in her clan. She only came to the temple and trained for almost two years. Yet she could almost read Sub-Zero's expressions like a book. She knew just how to get underneath that cold skin of his, and it amused her oh so much. Absent minded she let out a small chuckle, then realized and quieted herself. At first she thought no one had noticed, but she was wrong.

"I would think someone in your situation would not be so cheerful." Smoke exclaimed as he turned his glance to the woman.

"Leave her be. She can laugh if she wills, but this indeed will not be an amusing situation for her." Sub-Zero said as he began to walk off.

Smoke picked up Frost and began to follow his Grandmaster down the halls of the palace. Frost tried to struggle against Smokes grip but she failed. She was too weak. The way Smoke carried her ached her stomach. He had her thrown across his left shoulder.

"My dear Smoke, if you are going to be so generous as to carry me. The least you could do is make it somewhat comfortable as well."

"My apologies your highness. I was not aware that your comfort was of my concern.." Smoke said as pulled Frost and carried her in his arms.

"Thank you, now I can breathe easier." Frost said as she realized how tired she really was. She knew this battle was at its end. She could not fight it any longer. Frost rested her head on Smoke's shoulder and found sleep.

Sub-Zero and Smoke reached a departure in the hall they were walking. Sub-Zero turned to the right, and Smoke went to follow but was stopped.

"Smoke, take Frost to her old living quarters, keep an eye on her and do not leave her alone."

"As you wish Grandmaster, but if I may ask, where are you going? I would like to know where to find you 'if' something were to happen."

"I will be at the training area. If you send for me and I am not there I will be in the throne room."

"Yes Grandmaster." Smoke turned away and headed to down the left hallway.

***Sub-Zero***

Sub-Zero wandered down the halls of the palace lost in his thoughts. He was taken by surprise when Frost had abruptly smacked into him upon his return. When he entered the training area in search of Hydro, he saw the assassin training with one of the higher ranked Lin Kuei warriors. Sub-Zero made his way over to the both of them. When they realized he had approached them, they immediately halted their sparring and bowed. Sub-Zero acknowledged their saluted and returned it.

"Leave us, I need to speak to Hydro personally." Sub-Zero said as he shot a glance at Hydro.

The warrior dismissed himself by placing his right hand over his heart, and then bowed at his master. When Sub-Zero made it aware the warrior's gesture had been seen, the blue dressed assassin silently left to train with someone else.

"Hydro, why were you not the one to take care of Frost personally? You could have cost many men their lives! I did not put you in charge momentarily just for you to slack off!"

Hearing their Grandmaster's voice boom across the area warned all others to leave the perimeter immediately. Everyone scurried to avoid displeasing him any further.

"Grandmaster I am sorry I failed you.. I only did what I thought was right. If I had gotten slain by Frost, who was going to lead the clad while you were gone? Or… maybe if you were actually willing to kill that dreadful woman this would not have happened!"

"You would be wise to watch your tone with me Hydro, I am in NO mood for your disrespect. You are lucky that we are alone, you will go unpunished this time. Do it again and I will not be so forgiving." Sub-Zero glared at Hydro.

Hydro, feeling an excruciating amount of discomfort from his master, said not another word for fear of pushing Sub-Zero to his limits. He knew he had already pushed his Grandmaster to the point where his blood was boiling. This was a hard feat considering Sub-Zero was naturally a walking freezer. Hydro, without a word walked away from his master. Stopping just before the entry to the living quarters, he turned.

"Please Grandmaster, forgive me for my rudeness. I was not intending to anger you. I was merely speaking my mind, as one of your closest friends. I understand I ventured into a territory that I should not have, and I am truly sorry."

"You know friendship is not in our creed. Now go.. our confrontation is done. I will summon you when you are needed."

"Yes Grandmaster." Hydro continued inside the building.

Sub-Zero looked out onto the snow covered horizon. He needed time to think. His head was throbbing from the current pressure of all that had happen in the mere hour he had returned home. When he had defeated Sektor and took reign over the Lin Kuei, he had no idea what he was in for. All that was running through his mind at the time was that Sektor was in no position to rule the clan. Sektor's father had caused Bi-Han's death, if it wasn't for the old Grandmaster's desire for wealth over the clan's well being, his brother would still be alive. Sub-Zero had not noticed that he had maneuvered himself in a meditation state. Sitting on his pedestal with his legs crossed. It felt nice to take a break from all the chaos, it was peaceful without all the noise of training assassins. Sub-Zero meditated, for how long he did not know. The only sight that filled his mind; was when he entered those wooden doors of the palace and Frost bumped into his chest.
