Mortal Kombat: Ice
Welcome to my very first Mortal Kombat Fan fic hope you enjoy reading it and feel free to leave a review.
This is set after Armageddon where Taven has defeated Blaze and everyone has now headed back to begin their quests anew but where theres light, Shadow is never far behind.
Chapter One: The Tournament
Lin Kuei Temple
The chilly wind blasted the snow across the temple as the few remaining Lui Kuei members wandered outside into the blizzard awaiting the return on the Grand Master who just a few days after defeating Frost and saving the few survivors had wandered off to issue a challenge to anyone who wanted to join the elite ranks.
After a few minutes the blizzard slowly died down and a blue figure rose over the horizon and a cheer went up as the Grand Master came closer followed by a huge band of warriors who had arrived for the tournament, one of them being another cyromancer going by the name Glacier who knew all about the sub zero brothers.
Meeting room
The new warriors filled into the room as the Lin Kuei warriors lined the back of the wall as Sub Zero looked around at the warriors who would soon do battle for the honor of fighting by his side.
"Everyone of you has accepted the challenge to fight in the harsh conditions of Artika for the chance to become a warrior of the Lin Kuei but not everyone will make it. Survive the tournament and show me your worth!" Sub Zero announced before a large cheer came from all the warriors except Glacier who eyes never moved from their fixed state on the Grand Master.
Qualifers
Luckily for the warriors the wind was calm and for those not competing were allowed to stay in the warm temple while outside the Lin Kuei and Sub Zero grabbed seats as the first two competitors came to the ring.
"May the best man win honorable!" Sub Zero ordered as the two men circled each other.
As the two men hit bone shattering moves Glacier silently crept up to the roof and started shaping an ice spear while his eyes never left from watching Sub Zero.
"Enjoying the view?" A voice asked.
Glacier looked around but there was no one to be seen and the slight lapse of concentration caused him to drop the spear and give the warriors below a chance to finish meaning Sub Zero was now surrounded and the chance had been missed much to his anger. His anger would have to wait as he was next and he would use this anger to brutalize his opponent and then wait till Sub Zero was close and steal the dragon medallion.
"The next round is Glacier vs Gaia." Sol shouted from the middle of the ring as the two warriors walked out ready for battle.
Just as the battle was about to begin Glacier had already frozen Gaia and was beginning to form a spear to stick right through the warriors heart despite the warnings from the Lin Kuei. Just as he was about to throw it, it was snapped in two mid flight and Gaia had thrown an earth punch at him knocking him out of the ring.
"What the..?" Glaicer asked slowly getting up.
"We do not kill here warior and you are no longer welcomed!" Sub Zero ordered as the Lin Kuei warriors stood behind him with their arms crossed across their arms.
Glacier just fixed them an evil stare before disappearing in a blast of smoke.
Unknown place
The smoke carried the warrior to throne room with dim torches barely outlining the seat.
"Where am I!" Glacier demanded to know.
"Welcome to my world and here your in no position to demand orders! Now since you failed to kill him give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you?" A voice asked threateningly
"I know the mans weakness." Glacier responded slowly preparing to freeze his captor.
The place went quiet and as he fired his ice blast the torches blasted up revealing that the warrior was not alone and the throne he thought he saw was the one man he didn't want to see.
"Nice try but you see I was doing things like that years before you were even thought off." The figure threatened as another figure held a dagger to his throat.
"Fail me again and I'll leave you to be fed to the wolves!" The voice threatened as all went black.
Lin Kuei Temple
"I don't like it Master." Shadow said as Sub Zero watched over the new recruits training.
"I agree with Shadow, we all know what happened last time." Sol added reminding Sub about frost.
"Let us not forget we have had dealings with Smoke before." Aqua said noting that Sub was once hounded by Smoke, Sektor and Cyrax.
Sub Zero noted all of these before dismissing them to bring in the new recruits, Glacier being one them much to the annoyance of the winners of the relative battles but they didn't voice that concern as they believed that the grand master knew what he was doing.
"Everyone of you has shown great skill in making it this far but that is only the beginning as now the four of you will be sent of perilous missions with each of my expert warriors." Sub Zero said as the four warriors stepped out of the shadows.
"Gaia trainee of earth, you be accompanied with and trained by Terra, Scar you will be accompanied and trained by Shadow, Ash you will accompanied and trained by Sol and Glacier you are with me." Sub ordered before the trainers took their portages with them leaving the two cyromancers alone.
Knowing this would be a bad time to attempt his mission he knelled before the grand master and awaited his time to stick the blade through his heart and steal the medallion for his true master.
