The Wrath of Kano

Part 1:The Red Dragon experiment

"The tests are running smoothly sir, this will be the first perfect creation of the Red Dragon hybrids." A Red Dragon scientist reported.

" Excellent," commented Mavado, leader of the Red Dragon clan. " Ironic that our very first successful Red Dragon hybrid will be the leader of the Black Dragons. "

Inside the water filled tank was Kano, with various tubes connected to his body. While Kano was unconsious, guards always felt strange talking in front of the tank because of Kano's glowing red eye, part of Kano's metal plate transplate, which always remained open and bright.

" You will not wake up as the same Black Dragon you once were, a different kind actually. " Mavada said to the unconsious Kano.

He then smiled and left the room.

A scientist shouted to his companions, " First phase complete, toxins inserted into the brain to have subject lose mind,thought,and intelligence, only mindless loyalty and rage. Physical transformation beginning. "

Kano ran down a grassy path, " Where am I? " he asked himself.

As he surveryed the jungle trees around he heard vicious growling noises.

" Who's there? " Kano shouted.

At that moment two red dragons with glowing yellow eyes flew past, the force of their flight making Kano's leather jacket blow around.

The dragons came around again and headed straight for Kano, jaws open. Kano dived out of the way at the last second. He quickly ran behind large boulders to for shelter. But the dragons blew fire, nearly turning Kano to ash. Kano attempted to throw a knife into the creatures eye but it smacked it away with its tail, without even a scrath. Kano began to flee.

Kano ran as fast as he could but the dragons flew towards him to quickly, they got closer and closer, jaws open. This could not be happening, the leader of the Black Dragons devoured by some inferior Red Dragon scum. Kano continued to run. Untill he was in the dragons maw. Then darkness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kano awoke, startled. An alarm was blaring through the entire lair. Kano noticed that the computers and other electrical equipment around him was malfunctioning. Looking ahead he noticed that a huge fight was going down between a mere man against several Red Dragon thugs. Suddenly two Red Dragons ran in front of Kano's tank, Kano quickly shut his eye. " Quick make sure the subject is secure!" one guard commanded.

" Is he?"

" Yes, he is unconsious, nothing to fear here, get someone over here to fix the equipment."

The guards felt too secure however, and Kano took the oppurtunity to fire his eye laser from his implant, which made a hole in the glass tank, pierced one guards heart, and through his back and into the computer that controlled the restraining mechanisms on Kano. Every time Kano is captured he is always searched and The other guard quickly lifted his gun but Kano punched the tank hard enough to make it shatter, The flying glass forced the guard to shield his eyes, giving Kano time to leap out of the tank. Kano punched the guard in the stomach, grabbed his head, and smashed it into multiple computer monitors and equipment, making it a bloody mess. Kano threw the deady body down and descended the steps down from the platform. Kano picked up his signature butterfly knives off a nearby table ," Welcome back to daddy," Kano said, overly glad about finding his weapons.

Kano noticed the battle between the intruder and the Red Dragon thugs was still progressing. Kano well aware of the fact that the intruder is probably the reason he had a chance to escape, technically saving him, he decided he best not interfere. " Cripes!" Kano shouted when a Red Dragon thug flew into a fuel barely a little ways in front of him, getting blown sky high. " Thanks for the help mate, but I gotta run" Kano said, but Taven was too busy fighting to notice. Kano ran through caves and various tunnels. " Where the heck am I?" Kano recalled the past.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quan Chi had called Kano to his tower.

" The Deadly Alliance appreciate your efforts to complete work on Shang Tsungs palace," Quan Chi said in his deep voice.

" Don't worry about it, and you can count on me to lead the tarkata against the invaders, they won't make it up the palace steps!" Kano reassured. Kano personally wanted to rid himself of his nemesis Sonya Blade and her equally irritating surperior Jax.

Quan Chi laughed a little, Kano raised an eye brow, wondering why Quan Chi was laughing, as he did it very rarely.

Kano always knew Quan Chi hated his attitude but he enjoyed annoying the sorceror, aware of Kano's military experience Kano knew Quan Chi would not kill a valuable general of the Deadly Alliance.

" I am afraid, you see, that your services are no longer needed." Quan Chi laughed.

" What!?" Kano shouted knowing this meant big trouble for him.

"You see there is another member of the Deadly Alliance really wanted to fight you, after killing a wanted assasin I really couldn't refuse him, besides I thought I needed some good solid entertainment, building an army is stressful you know." Quan Chu explained.

Kano wanted to slit the sorcerors neck right then and there, but he knew Quan Chi would kill him easily, though Kano would die before he admit he was weaker than another.

A figure came from the shadows, Kano recognized his face, it was Mavado, the highest ranking member of the Red Dragon as far as he knew. " Quan Chi do not pick Mavado over me, he is but a weakling of a pathetic clan, he will lead your armies to failure."

Mavado cut Kano off," Your clan the Black Dragon has disgraced the Red Dragon for many years, I have been tracking you for many years to kill you, and thanks to Quan Chi I have. "

" I am flattered," Kano stated.

" Enough of your talk, with your death, the Black Dragon will be no more!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kano could only remember the fight was brutal, Kano had long left his former clan behind but he always felt some loyalty to it, especially when he recognized the hookswords Mavado was using. Mavado was a more patient warrior, yet his annoying grappling hooks made him much faster. Kano was defeated, he could only remember being finished by being impaled by both hookswords.Then he fell unconsious, Kano thought he would die but he was instead shipped to the Red Dragon lair. Though Kano had no clue exactly where that was. Kano's chain of thought was interupted as Taven caught up to him. Taven was consuming much of Kano's time but Kano decided to let him leave as he did help free him.

" Hey, hey you!" Taven called.

Kano shook his head and turned to face him.

" Do you know what the Red Dragon are doing here?"

" I know they are trying to turn the members into ACTUAL Red Dragons!" Kano explained.

Taven thought for a moment so Kano took the chance to ditch Taven.

Kano ran through a set of doors which led to a bridge across a pool of molten lava.

Kano then heard a series of growls coming from the ceiling. He looked up and said several red dragons, the actual human-dragon hybrids red dragons, jump down to him. " What in the world.." Kano muttered. Kano launched several Xing Yi into the nearest one and kicked it over the side of the bridge. Kano jumped on the next one and proceeded to attempt to shove his knife down its throat. The creatures power was too strong however and he threw Kano off. Kano threw his knife and got him right in the chest, Kano ran over and kicked him in the chin knocking him over the side of the bridge, but not before yanking his knife out. Kano ran, leapt, and curled into a ball to perform his signature canonball attack, the force so strong it knocked the next dragon right into the wall killing it. The next dragon ran straight for him so Kano sliced his legs off with his eye laser, the monsters torso slide from its hips and fell on the ground of it, Kano leapt into the air and shot a knife into the dragon behind him and landed onto the dragon with no legs, breaking his spine with his foot. The Dragon with a knife stuck in his eye screamed as pain as Kano crawled up his back and proceeded to cut out his other eye and stab it multiple times in the head. Kano took a breather, but it was not over yet, another dragon caught Kano off guard and put him to the ground leaning in closer and closer to eat Kano's head from his shoulders. The beast was too strong and heavy to push off, Kano tried stabbing it but the dragon swiped the knives from his hands. Kano tried to push once more, but this time the outcome was different. Kano's hand went through the chest of the monster. Kano was shocked by this newfound power, but it was no time to think about it, Kano ripped out the monsters still beating heart and threw the monster and its heart into the lava.

Kano began to shake uncontrollably, he grabbed his knives and ran into the next round and hid behind some rocks, he quickly ripped off his leather gloves at all times. At that moment what he say frightened him. His hands were black and scaly, like the dragons hands, at the end of his fingers were extremely sharp claws that could pierce ones body instantly. Kano first felt great as he realised he was much more powerful with hightened dragon power,sense,and agility. But then he got afraid once more as he knew if the transformation completed he would no longer be the cunning, great, and powerful Black Dragon thug he once was, but a mindless,stupid, monster, under the control of Mavado and the Red Dragon.

Mavado! that was it, that Red Dragon scum made him like this he had to have a cure.

Kano's escape would have to wait, so he travelled deeper into the Red Dragon caves, to kill Mavado, and to find the antidote.
