So, yeah. A little twist off of my L4D project. I'll be working on both of these projects, so... Yeah.
I own only Sekkachi. Everything else is owned by Netherrealm, or whatever Boon's calling it nowadays.
His vision blurred slowly. Objects came into focus, then left it seconds later. Figures moved outside of this... liquid that surrounded me. A figure with a ponytail stood outside of this... liquid, examining the man inside. Perfectly human... tight build... muscular... brain capacity higher than any human's... Yes...
"Shao Khan, come. See your son for the first time." The emperor entered the chambers of Tsung's flesh pits, eager to lay eyes on his new son. From inside the tank, he looked back, unable to hear the conversation. His gaze was that of innocence. He would be different from that of his sister, who had just excitedly entered the room. She danced around the tank that housed her brother, singing manically and occasionally laughing.
"Oooh, take him out, Shang Tsung! I wanna see my sweet, innocent little brother!"
"As you wish." On his command, the tank drained itself of its contents, the creation included. He crashed onto the floor once it released him, taking the steady breaths of first life from the pits. His skin was that of the finest tan; his eyes shone as red as flames, yet, oddly, as gentle as a child's touch. His hair was damp, a deep black reminiscent of the night sky, clear of the burden of clouds. He looked up to the emperor standing before him, eyes burning into his, as he slowly spoke.
"F-Father..." If Shao Khan could have had an emotional breakdown, he would've then and there. If he could've, anyway. Mileena, however, still playfully danced around her brother on the ground before her.
"Ooooh, I have a brother! YAAAY! Now we can have soooooo much fun!" He looked at Mileena carefully, confused at his 'sister' and her actions. On shaking legs, he stood slowly, and looked at Khan again. He spoke again;
"What... is my name?" Shao Khan was glad to give him an answer;
"Sekkachi." Sekkachi repeated the name over and over, a smile forming each time he repeated it. Shang Tsung spoke to Sekkachi after he had finished. "As Shao Khan's new son, I shall train you in fighting styles. You have been made for stealth, speed, and absolute lethality; the Snake style will fit you well." Sekkachi nodded in response, then looked down, noticing his obvious nudity. "Ah... We shall find you something to wear. Mayhaps a variation of the Lin Quei garb?" Sekkachi nodded again. "Very well. You can add or take away from it as you please before we start..." He trailed off, leading Sekkachi out to the training grounds of the palace, Mileena following eagerly. Khan waited for a moment to himself before leaving with them. My son... He will be my most fatal weapon... He will be bloodthirsty as Mileena is. He will be my most beloved assassin. Perhaps I will train him myself... Yes.
Sekkachi... Do not dissappoint me.
Naturally, there'll be more. I've been planning this for a year now. I won't dissappoint! Or will I?
