It's been a long time that I can't even remember when it all began for me. In my previous time I used to be deadly warrior among my people, my clan, the Shirai Ryu. All I can remember was the bloodshed I been through, the treachery, the pain I suffered. My whole soul, mind, and heart were full of hatred. Waking up in a placed called The Netherrealm, the whole surrounding was nothing but true hell I saw in reality it was exactly as I imagined it same description I read and heard, nothing but madness and hatred in this realm and the burning flesh was proof enough where I really was. After my wakening a former sorcerer much as known more of a necromancer, Quan Chi told me of what happened in my former life, showing me the images of my people being slaughtered, my whole clan has been wiped out, my son, and wife murdered by the hands of the Lin Kuie. Filled with anger and rage he offered me a way to get my revenge, without thinking about too much I agreed and made me take obstacles to gain this power that I need it. Fight after fight, blood after blood, days after days, I achieved that power. Feeling my blood, my body, and my soul engulfing with flames I could feel the burning going through me, becoming the hell spawn spectre known throughout the realm, once again resurrected I abandon my name for he has died with his clan. Gathering my gear of choice, placing my two blades behind my back, and looking at my hand I engulf the weapon of choice I have known since my former life, the Shirai Ryu Kunai, that's how my life of Scorpion began.
Time has passed never felt the differents, when Quan Chi has ordered me to join him on this Mortal Kombat Tournament for I would gain my revenge for my clan. Hearing that Sub-Zero would appear on this tournament, did nothing but nod on Quan Chi, feeling my blood boil in rage in anger waiting for the moment my kunai would pierce through his heart. But we were under orders Shang Tsung, and the emperor Shao Kahn.
"Lord Scorpion, we need you in the military chambers for the issue my lord."
Scorpion turned his head seeing two raptor warriors standing right behind him bowing their heads towards him. Turning around walks towards them and looks at both of them and said.
"Who is asking?"
The two warriors could feel his cold tone of voice, not bothering to lift up their faces they bowed a bit lower and replied.
"Our clan leader Reptile my lord, he is looking for you."
Scorpion then turns back into the view he was looking outside the horizon, waves his hand signaling them to leave, bowing one more time they turn around and leave him be. Crossing his arms looks down at the view of Outworld, consist of barren, purple wastelands, deserts, pools of acid, dense forests with animated faces, and high, mysterious mountain peaks. It still felt like home like the Netherrealm, but in reality he didn't care what so ever, un-crossing his arms he turned around and started to walk towards the military chambers.
When the Mortal Kombat Tournament began I followed the orders I was told from Quan Chi, it didn't matter what he ordered me to do. I was just expecting the one responsible of my clans demise, but also the murder of my family, my rage kept increasing more just thinking in one person alone, Sub-Zero. The time of the tournament started standing besides Quan Chi and the other sorcerer sitting in the chair yelled out the combatants, seeing this mortal from Earthrealm named Johnny Cage walking in front of the court babbling his nonsense's about winning this tournament, in reality I was close to spear him right there in there, annoying fool. Then the other fighter was this raptor I knew, I seen this fighter before, for he declared a challenge when I arrived here. He ended up in pure defeat in front of Shang Tsung, seeing that they wanted me to finish him, I for some reason spared his life, not because out of pity, because I saw that he was indeed a warrior fighting for something he wants to achieve. Quan Chi didn't like my choice but I didn't care one bit of it. Now watching both fighters fight seemed pretty even match but in the end the human mortal was able to beat Reptile by luck. In the end the tournament continued on until Quan Chi order me to leave I walked around the temple until I saw Reptile in front of me, not knowing his reasons I brushed it off for kept on walking ignoring him while he said behind me. "Be aware of Quan Chi specter he is hiding something from you" and in a blink of an eye he was gone before I could say what he knew.
The following day came and my patients was at its peak, my blood raging with hatred, but first I had to defeat a Monk named Kung Lao quickly and painfully, my other combatant was a shaman named Nightwolf, although lecturing me of my past, I defeated him the most brutal way I could wanting to face Sub-Zero at once. But before my other contestants seeing the thunder god named Raiden told me if I would have spared Sub-Zero life, he would resurrect my clan, the Shirai Ryu could walk once more. Nodding to his offer I walked away waiting until the sun was set, and the night arises I walked into the chamber of the room seeing two Lin Kuie named Cyrax and Sektor having the confrontation Shang Tsung ordered that they both became my challenge and with a few minutes both Lin Kuie where at the ground defeated. Once seeing them on the ground felt the urge of just slaughtering this Lin Kuie but I was stopped for I looked up seeing a familiar face I hate in the deepest part of my soul, see the one across from was no other then Sub-Zero.
"The Shirai Ryu are dead, you will suffer like they did."
"To hell with your clan!"
"No. To hell with you!"
Dragging him down with me engulfing with flames I teleported him into the one place he sure disserved to be, the Netherrealm. Once there I took the liberty to begging to fight, and as soon I saw his first move, I quickly reached for my kunai and lunged him straight towards Sub-Zero chest, yelling with the most hatred coming out of me feeling the blade piercing straight to him, hold on to the rope and yelled out "Get over here!" bringing him close to my range I swing with my right fist, beginning to beat my enemy to a pulp. Once seeing Sub-Zero on the ground beaten, although wanting to kill him would be best, knew that my clan would be resurrected by the thunder god if I kept my word, and that is something I planned to attend until Quan Chi showed up beside me remembering me of what the Lin Kuie has done to my clan, and family. Seeing my clan being slaughtered right before my eyes, feeling deep inside my soul burning in rage, not able to aid them while they crumble into their deaths, only began to see more until Quan Chi showed me one last view of my wife, and son cornered defenseless seeing Sub-Zero walking towards my family, unsheathing his sword, delivering a deadly blow to my wife and child, killing him in front of my eyes. "No!" I yelled my body engulfing in flames looked down at the defeated Sub-Zero raising his hands up in defeat "Wait that is not me!" Without me even listening I pulled out my mask showing the terrifying Lin Kuie with my flaming skull, walking towards him and in a blink of an eye, I pierced my hand straight on his back, feeling his flesh and blood around my hand I took grasp of his spine, could hear him scream in pain, and pulling it out of him came out his spine and his head connected. All I could hear was Quan Chi say "Well done Scorpion." Although killing Sub-Zero was satisfactory, I still could fell my clan and family still not at peace.
Scorpion walking inside the military chambers sees a few raptors around the table but one particular raptor was someone he was familiar with and seeing him bow he says.
"It's good to see you again old friend, how have you been?"
Scorpion walked close the table seeing the structure of Outworld and its locations, he sees everyone bowing down to him waves his hand and looks at the one he talked to him and replies back.
"Like any other Reptile, now speak."
Reptile shows him one particular Location on the Outworld and points on the map and says.
"It seems that the Tarkatans have raided The Black Pines on the north, and they seem to have become even larger in numbers."
"I should have killed him when I had the chance!"
Scorpion slammed the table engulfing it flames, scaring most of the raptor warriors among him, only Reptile stood still understanding his reason he walks towards him and says to him.
"I'll make sure that Baraka's army will be dealt with emperor."
Bowing his head Scorpion looked at him and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Not just dealt with, I want them annihilated understand."
Reptile puts a grin on his face, he bows once more and quickly leaves the chambers following behind a couple of his raptor warriors grinning with smiles knowing that this is all they ever wanted, make the Tarkatans pay for what they had done to them. Scorpion once more looked at the shattered map of Outworld once more.
After the defeat of Outworld in Mortal Kombat we where send back to where we came from, although Quan Chi and I didn't leave to Netherrealm we were back to Outworld he went to go talk to the Emperor, while I was sent into the flesh pits to prevent from anything to happen to a woman there. Not knowing the reason why I didn't care as much for I just nodded my head and arrived into the flesh pits hiding in the shadows, after a couple of minutes passed, a woman in blue appeared but knew right away who she was, it was the emperors daughter Kitana. Looking at how she approaches she stumble to see another woman laying on top of a desk, although I couldn't actually noticed earlier, it was indeed a woman although she was almost to revealing on her body, her features where different, more on her face noticing that her mouth was Tarkatan then she widely open her eyes seeing the orange sharp eyes, giggled into a fit. "Sister… so pretty… so fair…so sad and alone… come let us be a family."
And without hesitation both females began to fight, seeing this new woman fight was indeed something, seemed similar fighting style as the princess but she was a bit more vicious, but it all ended when Kitana stood victories and looking down on her so called sister, raising her steel fan ready to give the deadly blow, she stood for a while and lowered her hand. Looking at the view I looked quick to the left side of her and see one particular person walking in front of the princess seeing his orange eyes and sharp teeth, this Tarkatan was someone I hated even more. "Who is responsible for this Baraka!"
The princess yelled for he bowed his head in front of her and quickly replied back. "It was sorcerer Shang Tsung princess; he is heading this way as we speak." Quickly the princess walked pass Baraka going up stairs, the Tarkatan looked down at the woman that was unconscious walking towards here he kneeled down and started to touch her. The woman raspy started to open up her eyes and notices a Tarkatan touching her and quickly she slaps his hands away from her but suddenly he jumped on top of her overpowering her. Baraka slowly pulled out his blades and set them close to her throat "Don't move woman, Shao Kahn owes me and my people a great debt, and you seem more appeasing for my taste!" slowly put his hand lower to her abdomen, stopped for he felt a metal chain around his neck squeezing him tightly and looking up he saw nothing but a raging wraith in his eyes.
Choking him out he quickly pulled up to try to get some air, only ended up hearing. "I ever see you again Tarkatan, my blade should meet your head!" pushing towards the ground he fell, quickly running away. Looking down at the woman, I can tell she was confused, and shocked at my appearance, although not bothered what she thought of me, I extended my hand to help her up but she stood there a while not knowing too take it. And that really irritated me. "You going to stay there or not!" could feel my flames boiling inside, for she took my hand and quickly lifted her up noticing her that her appearance was now completely nude, I turned around and grabbed some cloth in the table tossing it to her.
"Who are you, and why did you help me?" The woman across said, while she covered herself up mostly, without turning I responded back to her. "I'm just a wraith, Scorpion is my name." although I couldn't see her expression, I can feel her presence and she slowly approached me by putting her hand on my shoulder and looking at my side I can see her walking around standing right in front of me with a seductive look. "Scorpion huh, suites you fine. But why aid me specter?" looking at her orange eyes although Tarkatan eyes hers seemed different, like she is unique. Shaking the thought out of my mind I gave her an honest answer "I despise men on taking advantage of woman." With that alone I started to walk away until she yelled behind me. "My name is Mileena, and I'll see you around Scorpion." And in a blink of an eye I engulfed in flames vanishing from her.
Scorpion started to walk out of the chambers and heading into the halls, seeing his warriors of Outworld bowing their head as he walked, still walking he kept going until his destination stopped for he was looking outside looking in one particular place, the coliseum.
"It's been a long time Scorpion."
Scorpion knew who exactly who the person behind him was, without even turning around he kept on looking at the coliseum and responded back with his normal tone.
"What business do you need with me Raiden?"
The thunder god smirked walking towards him standing beside him looks outside where Scorpion was looking.
"I can still remember that day in the coliseum, the day that Shao Kahn was defeated in the arena."
"Yeah… the day that the emperor fall."
Days passed how Mileena been around Outworld proving her father worth and loyalty, fighting among the Earthrealm warriors, she was indeed a magnificent fighter, her skills were by far the most agile and a brutal fighter, but not as skill as a specter. But the emperor didn't seem too pleased of his new daughter, and Mileena could sense it and her anger was growing hiding her expression behind her mask. It was not of my concern but yet again, a father should not be so neglected to her daughters. Though she didn't care much, she would always for some reason look happy, when she tries to approach me every time I'm around. I first thought of it as annoying, made me think twice of saving her life back there but yet again it was inedible because of the actions that where happening in front of me that day, although dead, my honor still lays within me. Yet day after day, mission after mission she kept on pursuing me and I kept on avoiding her she sure never gave up her flirting with me, and her seductive tone of voice kept going.
Walking into the living forest I was walking away from the current fight I just won, I could hear the trees yawning and hearing their branches moving seeking for a pray to eat, I stopped my movement for I then quickly pulled out my spear and lunched it behind me snapping a tree branch apart I heard a screaming falling from it and in my eyes it was only the one person that stalks me.
"Why do you follow me Mileena!" she got up brushing her body off from the dust around her and she looked up seeing her eyes straight at mine. "You know I like it when you get mad." I started to boil up in anger getting tired of her games, just wanting some peace time alone I get this woman to follow me all around. "Turn around and leave me be!"
Starting to walk away from her I can hear her footsteps right behind me getting closer every step I take. That really started to annoy me. "Why do you keep following me!" she stopped seeing that my anger seemed like it finally hit her, but I was wrong for she started to giggle "Such a silly question, don't you really know why I keep following you?" starting to get pissed off from her games I yelled at her. "No I dont! Why keep following me we are not together!" this time she stepped a bit closer "We could be."
That statement caught me off guard literally, I can see her eyes really starting to have emotion of desire, needing, I just took a step back "What?" seeing her movement starting to walk a bit towards me slowly "Why not be together, the reason I follow you is because it makes my chest feel funny, not any other Outworld person makes me feel like this but you." I was starting to get confused at this why she would start saying this to me, knowing that I'm a specter, just a dead spirit. "I Know what you are and I really don't care about it Scorpion, the way you are, the way you kill, the way you are calm and in rage, I like all the things about you." Feeling my feet froze I was starting to get all this into my head, was this really happening right now, out of all days it had to be now. "I was figuring out what where this symptoms aching in my chest, my heart bumping so fast when I hear your voice or near you my heart beats so fast, that I don't know how to control it. But I figured out it was not out of fear but love, one thing I never thought I could have but I do, I love you Scorpion."
Was she mad, maybe insane if I heard every word she said to me, I couldn't really know why she would chose me? But all I can think of was my family, the wife and son I had in my previous human life. "Mileena… you don't understand, I just can't" this time she walked closer seeing her face close to mine her eyes beginning to know the reason why I keep pushing her away. "Why?! Why can't we be together?!" I was about to give her the reason I stopped for I turned my head behind me looking past into the forest I felt the presence of someone I knew very well and yelled out. "Get out here Reptile or my Kunai will make you!" easy enough the raptor appeared in front of us.
"What business are you here?" I asked for he just stood still looking around into the forest he then looked at me and surprised me with the news he told me. "You been deceived by Quan Chi specter, the Lin Kuie where not responsible for your clans murder, but himself." This got me by surprise but I was not buying it, there was no way, I seen the images I seen how they slaughtered my whole clan, and my family. "You lie raptor, I seen what they did, I saw the Lin Kuie slaughtering my people, I seen how they murdered my wife and son in cold blood!" engulfing my flames in my hand of the rage I was feeling but he didn't budge at all "You think I would lie to you specter, you think I would risk my life into going into Quan chi chambers and notices the notes of his planes how he deceived you!" he yelled for he tossed a book at my feet, looking down at it I picked it up and started to see throught it, and my eyes turn wide at the answers in front of me. Quan Chi deciving me, separating me from my clan for he can disguises his minion as Lin Kuie, and him killing my family, it was him, that necromancer, that back stabbing traitor!
"Quan Chi!" I roared as I engulfed the book into flames turning it into ash, I looked at Reptile and replied "Why did you tell me about this Reptile?" He looked at me and bowed his head and answered. "We all don't want to be chained up forever Scorpion." Looking at him I give simple nod appreciating the truth he revealed to me, he vanshied in mid air and calming my anger for now I turn into the woman behind me and see her eyes confused, but also saddening. Not knowing what to say, I just vanished in front of her having my mind with full of vengeance on Quan Chi, but at that time I felt his presence vanish, and the only person that could of tell me where he was, was not other but the emperor himself, Shao Kahn.
"It was you who appeared in front of the coliseum defying against your former alliance, and challenged the one and only ruler of Outworld, and came out victories."
Scorpion remembering that day like it was only yesterday, seeing how he stood in the whole crowed but to get him challenge him, he had to face his Outworld warriors, Shang Tsung, Baraka, and Kintaro. Although the oppentets seem hard, it was no challenge deafeating Baraka at first, but against Shang Tsung took a while, his sorcery deceiving me every chance he could, one in particular when he transformed as Mileena. Some reason, he was confused he didn't want to lay a finger at her, but feeling his chest cracked snapped in reality that this is not the real her, and pulled all my strength against this sorcerer, and ended up victories.
"I was still impressed how you were able to defeat Kintaro."
Scorpion smirked under his masked although the thunder god couldn't see it; he could sense his humor hearing Scorpion reply back.
"Big and slow in his movements, nothing serious against him."
"Yes, but yet you where able to defeat him, and with them action you did, Shao Kahn couldn't look away at this."
Scorpion kept on looking at the coliseum, he could still remember the roars of the people around, all yelling for the fight, kill, finish him, everywhere he could hear different words echoing around. And he could feel the ground shake by the power movements of the emperor walking down the stairs, seeing him over tower him by his height but with so much power. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath reacts to the action he felt in that day.
Feeling my mind blurry, my arms and legs losing strength to move further, I felt a strong punch under my chin feeling my body flying upwards, I could see the bright yellow sky start to feel my body falling I land on the ground laying there. "Is that all specter, you dared to show up and challenge me in my own coliseum. You sure made a mistake!"
I could hear him mock me, I can hear him laughing at me of my state of weakness, forcefully making my body move felt the intense pain running through me, I kneeled lifting my upper body up I could feel my chest burning in pain, my lungs hurting every time I inhale for air. "Pathetic, you're just pathetic! I thought you were strong Scorpion, but I guess I was wrong."
Is he right, was I not strong enough, did I really become this weak. Blinking my eyes start to gain my vision back, I start to see the crowd roaring in satisfaction of the fight, hearing them yell to me to get up, keep fighting, that I die, that I should be finished. Why not, I can be at peace for once, I could be once close to my family, don't have to suffer any longer, don't have to fight anymore, just pure and silent peace. Hearing his footsteps coming closer behind me, I kept on looking around, seeing the Earthrealm warriors just staring in shock, the Outworld warriors just smirking waiting for my demise, but my eyes caught only one single person out of the group and that was a woman with a violet veil mask on her, her black hair hitting on her shoulders, and the orange eyes looking straight at me with pure sadness. "Don't you think I don't know of your past specter, your failure to protect your kin, your failure as a father to not protect your family, you will rot in the end of time!"
Although he kept on talking I just kept looking straight at Mileena, not knowing the reason, not knowing why I did, but it hurt me inside seeing her like that, seeing her in pain and sadness. But beside her though took me by surprise not knowing if the gods where playing in my mind or because of the pain my body is going through, I could see my wife and child standing beside her, showing the same expression as Mileena. I felt Shao Kahn head beside my hear placing both his hands on my shoulders "Rest assure though specter, because Quan Chi will torment your clan and your wife for the rest of your repulsive afterlife!"
With that I clinched my hands into a fist, my body boiling more in rage of fire, without even realizing it I turn around so quickly placing my right hand on his neck staring him deep with my dead eyes and punched him straight under his chin. Making him back a bit quickly trying to hit me back I teleported away appearing straight behind him, catching him by surprise trying to adjust himself I quickly grabbed my kunai and lunging him straight to him, I roared with the outmost hatred coming out of my voice seeing my kunai engulfing in flames, piercing straight through him seeing his mouth gaping out blood, I pulled "Get over here!"
The whole colesium turn quiet, every single living thing around was stunned seeing the only powerful ruler of Outworld standing on his knees waiting for his demise. Walking up towards him I stared him down seeing how now beaten how shamelessly defeated he is now, I placed my right hand on his head and without second thought I pierced his chest with my left hand getting straight towards his heart. Feeling the texture of the beating heart on my hands I squeezed so hard I heard it splatter inside his body, seeing his eyes roll behind his head I pulled my hand out the blood splattering out of his chest seeing the former emperor fall forward dead on the ground.
Seeing the defeat of the emperor, I turned my body and started to walk toward the exit of the coliseum I can start to hear the crowd roaring, hearing them yell king Scorpion. The remaining Outworld warriors kneeled down and bowed their heads, seeing the Earthrealm warriors doing the same I ignored it knowing that they are foolish to think if I was to become emperor.
"You change the view of the future Scorpion." I looked to see it was the thunder god was the one that spoked to me. Not really wanting to say a word to him I kept walking but he continued. "You may not know it yet Scorpion, but your future will change, becoming emperor of Outworld you would…"
I turned around pointing my kunai at him seeing how the other Earthrealm warriors stood beside him ready to defend him, I yelled. "I didn't ask to be emperor thunder god! I just needed answers and now I must find Quan Chi!"
Turning my back once more I kept on walking until he said. "Go to the Netherrealm and you should find who you seek, but you won't be alone in their Scorpion, the Shirai Ryu will guide you to who you will find." Turning my head I nod to his responds and kept on walking exiting the coliseum there was one person I didn't expect to be waiting for me and the only thing that came out of my mouth was "Mileena."
I could see her expression on her eyes, there was no need for words of how she felt, taking a step close to her, wanted to say something to her, wanted to explain that I just couldn't, I can't, but I felt her hand grabbing mine shocked of the feeling, never would of thought that her touch was so smooth and comfortable. Seeing that people couldn't see her whole face her expression, I could see pass through it, I could tell she was putting a smile under her veil, raising my right hand I placed it under veil feeling her soft skin as I slowly caressed her, she put both her hands on mine. I felt her press her hands on mine never wanted me to stop, knowing that she wanted me to stay, wanted me to keep doing this to her, to never let her go. Engulfing in flames around me, I took one last look at her seeing her eyes drip in tears, pain me even deeper, and all I could say last to her was something I truly meant. "I'm sorry."
"Knowing that you were able to defeat the 'The Brotherhood of Shadows' and ending up slaying Quan Chi out from Netherrealm, you the strongest specter in the Netherrealm could have been king only there, but yet again, you are not just a ruler of one but two realms, what made you change Scorpion?"
The thunder god, asked, knowing he knew the presence of Quan Chi no longer walking in the universe, wanted to really know the reason of the specter in front of him, wanting to know what made him change. Scorpion looked down below him of his castle and smirked under his mask.
"That Raiden, is something that even a god will not understand."
After Quan Chi's death, I felt the souls of my clan finally able to rest in peace, but there was still something missing, something inside of me that it feels empty, deep inside I can feel that it's not whole. With that I turn to only the one place I knew that I might know my answers, and that feeling alone was something I didn't want to do, returning back to where it all began, my homeland.
Appearing in my homeland was something I didn't expect, the land was all dead, the housed crumbled down, the trees nothing but branches around, and everything in the Shirai Ryu was long gone. Feeling the snow fall down above me, extending my hand seeing it melt away reminded me that fateful day of my clan's massacre. Walking down further I stopped in one particular place that it very familiar with me, the one place I loved to protect, my home.
Kneeling down I can see the most of the house is already gone, how many days, months, years took me to get back here, I achieved my clan and family vengeance now they are at peace, yet my chest aches, what is it that I'm not finished, what do I have to do to be with my family once more.
"Hanzo." Looking up my eyes turn wide into shock looking at one woman that I known and the one I loved, seeing her coming down kneeling down in front of me, not knowing if the gods are playing games in my mind, but she was right here in front of me, right here with me. "I missed you Hanzo."
I raised my hand up to touch her but she raised her hand and touch mine, I felt it, and I could actually feel her once more, I can see her smile upon me, closing my hands on hers."I missed you too."
Being here with her was the only thing I wanted, once again we could become a family, and we can be together once more. Then she lets go of my hand and looking at me she smiles, but her eyes to drop tears. "Hanzo, the whole Shirai Ryu are happy of what you have done for us, I and your son are happy." I was getting confused, what she tried to tell me. "You don't have to suffer anymore Hanzo, it's ok to move on."
"What do you mean move on?" I couldn't understand her, why was she crying, why was she telling me this, trying to figure it out I saw her stood up and stared at me. "Hanzo, my beloved Hanzo, you don't have to worry about us anymore, we are truly happy seeing you alive once more, but it hurts us more if you are not happy my love."
"How? How can I be happy if you are all gone?" I looked at her wanting to know a way to be where she is, but she kept on smiling down on me, walking towards me she bends down and I felt her kiss on top of my head. "We will always be with you Hanzo, never forget that. But you have found someone here that loves you the same way I did, and deep in your heart I know you do too." Who was she referring too, who else could I loved if the only woman I loved was her, what was my heart telling me, what was the meaning, but yet again I did realize who she was talking about, the only woman that kept on following me, never leaving my side even if I did push her away she kept on being by my side. "Mileena."
I saw her put a smile and started to walk away from me, started to see her fade away she turned around once more seeing her eyes still dropping tears, but her expressions where nothing but pure joy. "She loves you as I come to love you Hanzo, and I know she will make you happy as I did. So move on my love, and love her like you loved me. May the spirits of the Shirai Ryu guide you in your new life my love, farewell."
In a blink of an eye she was gone; although she was gone I could still feel her she is still with me, knowing deep inside she was right in one thing, my heart did feel it belong to someone else, and to say my goodbyes here and now all I said was. "Farewell my love."
For the first time ever my heart, my soul finally felt free. Before I was about to stand up I could hear footsteps coming from behind me, I can hear the sound of the snow move from each step, but there was no killing intent from behind me, no thirst for blood, hearing it stop I was about to turn around until I heard something that actually surprised me. "It's good to see you again Scorpion."
I recognized that voice anywhere, getting up from the ground quickly turned around I saw here right there in front of me, here with me with her beautiful black hair hitting on her shoulders, her bright orange eyes , her silk violet veil, and her violet dress going down to her legs pressing it tight to her body showing off her beautiful figure. "Mileena, how did you find me?"
"I knew your history by reptile, wanting to know everything about you, I learned and understood why you where so angry, why you kept pushing me away. But it didn't stop me of loving you, that's why I knew you would be here." Seeing her walk towards me, I started to walk to her too when are bodies where close enough I looked at her, raising my hand I placed it the same spot like I did in the coliseum when I left. She was real, no illusion, no sorcery, it was the real her, feeling her hand on mine I began to caress her soft cheek on her face. And I can tell her she was smiling under her veil. "I missed you so much Scorpion."
"I missed you too Mileena." With that she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight, caught me by surprise I slowly wrapped my arms around her and hugged her the same. Looking up in the sky I could see my whole clan, and my wife and child looking down on me, seeing them with happy smiles, they waved their hands and vanished for good, that alone made me look back to the woman I'm holding lifting her head up to look at me and said what I should of said a long time ago. "I love you Mileena." With that I can see her eyes water and wrapped her arms around me once more crying, not of sadness but pure joy of tears.
Noticing she got something in her hands I asked "Mileena, what do you have in your hands?" with that she quickly put her hands behind her back and I could tell she was blushing mad, wanting to know the reason she slowly pulled out a toy or some sort and looked at me. "I made this for you, it's not much but I heard that in your previous life you give presents to people you care or love and I heard a teddy bear is something that its most common to give." I was surprised she knew about that, yet again that she was able to make this on her own, I remembered this toy in my human life, I had one for my son and looking how this teddy bear is not as perfect as any, it was still a good looking bear of what she made. Slowly grabbing it from her hands accepting the gift I nodded my head "Thank you Mileena."
"Scorpion, please come back with me to Outworld, after you defeated my father and as her daughter and heir I become the queen of Outworld, but I can't rule this realm by myself Scorpion, I want you with me, I want you to be my king, so please with all of my love please come with me." A king, a ruler of a realm, but with me as a specter I'm not just a ruler of one, but two realms. But none of that really matter to me, the only thing that matters to me now is her, Mileena is all I have and it's all I need. With that I placed my hand behind her veil unclasping it making it falls on the ground seeing her eyes in pure shock I put my hand on my mask and unmasked myself. Although I know how I look like, she didn't seem afraid, she was not scared how I looked, she accepted for who i was, and seeing her hand reach towards my face my flames changing I finally got to feel her touch seeing her sharp teeth turning into a smile I leaned towards her and kissed her. Although it may seem weird for others but to me it didn't bother me, all I know is that she is all mine and mine alone. "Hanzo, you can call me Hanzo, and I would gladly be your king Mileena, anything to be by your side."
Seeing her wrap her hands around my neck leaning in for another kiss I embraced her once more feeling her wet tears flow down on my flames we teleported to our new home together.
"Although whatever reason it was Scorpion, I'm just glad that this new path of your life is something wonderful, but be aware Scorpion, something is lurking into the darkness something evil will appear."
Scorpion turned around facing the thunder god and said.
"When that time comes Raiden, I'll be ready to face them with my flames."
Raiden bowed his head while Scorpion did the same watched the thunder god vanish away, scorpion started to walk a bit more in the castle until he came across a female warrior that he remember back in the Mortal Kombat tournament with her crimson red hair and veil bowing her head she said.
"Lord Scorpion, the queen waits for you in her chambers."
"Raise your head Skarlet, you are the sister of Mileena no need to be formal, how is my queen doing?"
"She is doing fine Scorpion; she is just relaxing are you going to go see her?"
"Yes, and thank you."
Skarlet bowed her once more and walked away, although Shao Kahn created Skarlet, she didn't really have a grudge against me after the death of his so called father; he treated like Mileena and the rest like trash, so she had no objection of me being the king. Walking towards my chambers I quietly open the door and there in the room was the one woman I care to love, seeing standing with her violet dress going down to her legs, she still haves the beautiful figure. Seeing her do her hair, I walk behind her and placed both my hands on her shoulders feeling her flinch she turn her head looking up to me, although she still wears her veil I can still see her smile through it seeing her happy expression she leans her head back resting on my chest.
"Where have you been my king?"
"I had to deal with some issues with the Tarkatans, Reptile should be taking care of it soon, and had a little talk with the thunder god."
I said nudging my head on her neck, smelling the aroma of cherry blossoms she giggled and placed her hands on the side of my face.
"Reptile will take care of it my love, but what did you and the thunder god talked about?"
"Nothing really, just about the past."
"And that would be?"
Turning her around to face me I placed my hand under veil and caressed her soft skin knowing that either myself have a mask on she can tell that I'm putting a smile when I see her.
"When I was able to fall in love with the women that stalk me every day, a strong fighter that never gives up, admitting her love towards me regardless of my appearance she accepted me, and how she changed my life completely."
She slowly grabbed both of my hands guiding it towards her belly, her swollen belly.
"Our life's my love, we changed our lives together."
I smiled even further, yes indeed she was pregnant, although a specter I was amazed that I was blessed to have a child with Mileena, either it was by the gods or the love from each other it didn't matter to me what so ever, all I know is that our new creation we made will soon change our lives completely.
"I love you and the baby Mileena."
She smiled wrapping her arm around me, while she still had my other hand and hers on her belly, giggled once more and said.
"You mean her my love, your daughter."
"How do you know it's going to be a girl?"
I asked in surprised looking down at her belly, she nuzzled closer to me.
"I don't, but I can feel that she is going to be a girl."
With that answer alone seemed good enough to me to believe, having a daughter in my life sure will be different, looking at my queen beside me I can tell she is tired, and also it seems it is getting late. Walking towards our bed, she changed her dress to her nightgown uncovering the blankets for her, she gets on top of the bed carefully I cover her while I take off my equipment having only having my underwear, I get on the bed right next to her and see her orange eyes looking at me.
"Goodnight my Hanzo, my beloved husband, and my king."
"Goodnight my beautiful Mileena, my wife, and my lovely queen."
Both closing their eyes, Scorpion and Mileena sleep quietly into each others embrace throughout the night peacefully.
