Strange World Dark's POV
God my head hurts ok gotta get up…ugh where am I. I looked around and noticed Shade was still unconscious and… we were in a forest. "I guess our home is destroyed" I said out loud remembering that gruesome image of our home on fire and under attack by some strange army and father opening a portal to get Shade and I out of there. I looked over to Shade and tried to stand up but I found it hard to because I was still in pain from the fall. Shade started to move then she pulled her cloth that covered her mouth and nose down and coughed up some blood. "You ok Shade" I asked her finally able to stand, "yeah my body just hurts a bit" she said with a weak smile. "Where are we Dark", "I don't know really but I wonder who those people are and where they're going". "Should we go down and follow them Dark" she asked me, I thought about it for a second "yeah but let's keep our distance".
We slid down the hill and tracked them to some type of courtyard with a lot of people waiting for them, "is this a settlement or something" I asked as we climbed on top of one of the walls. As we watched we noticed some strange looking people but one appeared out of nowhere and landed on the fighting mat in the center of the courtyard. Some guy wearing blue pants and a jacket with sunglasses approach the reptilian creature. An old guy on the throne said "the first match will be Johnny Cage vs. Reptile", as we watched them fight we were talking to each other about what we need to do to at least get out of here.
As we finished our plan we noticed that Johnny beat Reptile in the fight. A little after that some guy with sharp teeth walk onto the fighting part of the courtyard and made 2 blades point out at Johnny and said something to him and they began to fight. We started to move towards the main part of the arena on the rooftops and crouched as we did it to make sure no one could see us, "you sure they can't sense our presence" Shade asked me as we leapt onto another top of one of the structures "hopefully they're to concentrated on the fight" I said. After Johnny beat Baraka he seemed to be a pretty good fighter but just too confident, we noticed everyone else started to leave and we decided to wait a little longer before moving again.
"I don't know how much longer you two plan on hiding" the old man said, we stood up and jumped down from the top of the building we were on and approached him. "I am Shang Tsung and I'd like to know who you two are and where you came from" he asked. "I am Dark and this is my sister Shade, where we came from was a realm filled with shadows and one temple to be our home but was invaded and destroyed now so we don't have anywhere to go" I said as I took my helmet off. "I see … I can help you two survive in this world but you must work with me and serve my emperor" Shang said. "We'll work with you Shang Tsung as long as you can keep your end of the bargain" Shade said. "Good but for now I will have my guards escort you to your rooms and you will fight in our tournament". I nodded and followed the guards to our rooms.
