Future Kombat
I do not own Mortal Kombat. But if I did, it would be a hell of a lot bloodier. Yes, this is inspired from 's Street Fighter: The Later Years. I will do my best not to run into that.
This is supposed to be after MK10. For the sake of simplicity, we have no new characters. After that, Midway went mostly bankrupt and everyone had to find real jobs. We will follow Sektor and Noob as they try to host another tournament.
Chapter 1: After Armageddon II
"Oh, man," a boy laughed as he and his friends walked into McDonald's next to the arcade. "I still can't believe it! And you dodged that for the rest of the battle!"
"It was a lucky strike," said the other boy. "I'm not as good with Kabal as I am with Raiden. But you know I kicked your ass as Kano."
"That's only because I was playing with that piece of shit Sektor," said the first boy. "If any cyborg is good, it's Smoke."
"Ahem." The boys turned to see a red cyborg mopping the floor. "I'll have you know that not only is Smoke a kleptomaniac, he's also an alcoholic. Not as much as Bo'Rai Cho, but noticeably enough. And that's just the cyborg, wait until I start on the human."
The boys stood in shock. Sektor went behind the counter.
"May I take your orders?" he asked. "And I hate to be a nudge, but I'd really like you to hurry before the dinnertime rush comes."
"I'd like a Krabby Patty with no onions," said the first boy.
"Are you kidding?" Sektor asked.
"No," said the boy. "I'd like a Krabby Patty."
"Sir, this is McDonald's. I can serve you a Big Mac."
"I don't want one. I want a Krabby Patty."
"Don't make me come over there," Sektor said trying to maintain patience.
"Blow it out your ass, Ketchup," the other boy said. Sektor teleported under the floor and appeared from below to punch the two boys into the ceiling. They fell to the floor and ran out of McDonald's as Sektor fired a rocket after each of them.
"And stay the fuck out!" Sektor shouted. "Raiden, I hate people like them."
Sektor went back to work. He received yet another lecture from his boss about controlling his temper before getting into his car and driving to his apartment. He took the elevator to the seventh floor and started walking down the hall.
"Rent!" called his landlord. Sektor responded by setting the man on fire. He walked into his apartment.
"Hi, honey!" Khameleon said as she hugged him. "How was your day?"
"Another shitty day in that hellhole they call a restaurant," Sektor grumbled. "Not only is the food shit, the whole block is shit. This city is shit. And the fact that my job is right next to the damn arcade does not help. Every goddamn day groups of nerds come in saying how so and so trashed so and so with what Fatality or Stage Trap...it gets on my fucking nerves!"
"There, there, Sektor," said Khameleon. "Someday things will get better. I know. I'll make you your favorite meal. Would you like honey or syrup?"
"I'll just have cold Spaghetti-O's," said Sektor as he opened a can with the can opener in his chest before opening a different part of his chest to pour the pasta in. "I hate my fucking life."
"Things will get better," Khameleon said as she put an arm around her husband's shoulder.
The next day, Sektor got up and drove to work. He checked in and began his day serving people Egg McMuffins and McGriddles before mopping the floors. As he was mopping, he accidently knocked a man's drink over.
"Hey, what'd'ja do that for?" the man asked as he jumped up.
"Sorry," said Sektor. "I'll clean it up."
"Damn straight, you lowly janitor."
"Sir, I must ask that you do not speak to me that way."
"Oh, yeah, like I should be nice to someone who makes minimum wage. I can tell you that whatever you make in ten years I can make in two days! Suck it!"
"Suck this," said Sektor as he reached down the man's throat and pulled out his heart. "Learned that when preparing for MK9. {Author's Note: I don't know if Sektor will be in MK9, but I hope he is} What the fuck are all of you looking at? Get back to eating your shit! Shinnok!"
Sektor went back behind the counter.
"Um, Sektor," said his boss, "I'm sorry to bother you again, but you do realize that's the fourth person you've killed this week."
"Finished," said Sektor. "I finished him."
"In any case, he's the fourth. Do you know how much money we've shelled out keeping customers quiet?"
"All I know is that most of it comes out of my paycheck."
"Yes, and that's why you're going to be fired."
"You're firing me?"
"I'm firing you."
Sektor took a deep breath and looked at his boss. He then turned to leave when he saw a familiar face.
"Welcome to McDonald's," he said. "Can I interest you in any of our shitty excuses for food? I can say that because I've just been fired."
"Sektor?" said the man. He was wearing nothing but black and had a hammer on his back. "Oh, my Fujin, I haven't seen you since Armageddon!"
"Yeah, I know," said Sektor. "Oh, you've gotta come by my apartment. It's a piece of shit, but it's a nice place in such a shitty city."
"Nice rhyme," said Noob. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I just got fired, too."
"Sektor, please leave," said the boss.
"Gladly." Sektor flipped the bird at his boss as he and Noob left. They were about to turn the corner when Sektor noticed a tow truck. "Uh, sir, that's my car."
"I'm a woman," said the driver, "And your car was illegally parked. I'm takin' it to the impound."
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"Hey, this is a public street and the church is over there. Watch your language."
"Their god sucks," said Sektor. "I know three gods who are much cooler. Yeah, one's fallen, one's a branflake, and no one gives a shit about the other one, but they're still cooler. And you, lady, have one last chance to give me back my car or I'll blast you to kingdom come."
The woman shot Sektor in the leg with her pistol and drove away.
"We'll take my car," said Noob.
They drove down the street for a while before Noob broke the silence.
"So, I was in MK10. And Smoke wasn't fused to me, thank Raiden. Anyway, I did that. I got to have a showdown where I crippled Drahmin. I hate that guy."
"Yeah, I don't like Drahmin either."
"Anyway, after Midway folded up, I got a job with Ralph from Rampage at an amusement park. He's still there as far as I know. I got fired because I was always scaring people in the haunted house."
"Aren't you supposed to give them a shock?"
"I was in the kitchen area. The hearts I was stabbing were real human hearts. With the person still attached."
"Oh, that'll get you fired."
"Yeah, so I was driving away from there because they'd already foreclosed my house, and I needed a bite and that's when I ran into you."
"Well, my story's not as fancy."
"That's right, after MK9 Midway fired you."
"Yeah, they fired me because I supposedly have anger management issues."
"Sektor, you do have trouble controlling your temper sometimes."
"All I did was kick Ed Boon in the balls. If that douchebag Cage had done it, he'd have gotten away with it."
"That's because there's no MK without Cage."
"No, it's Liu Kang everyone likes. Anyway, I'd gotten fired, so I was working at fucking McDonald's. Just about every day I finished someone. You saw it. It was right by the arcade. They have a bunch of MK games in there. I died every time I went to work. I was ready to put my pulseblades through my stomach and commit hara kiri. Take a right, by the way."
Noob turned to the right and stopped a red light.
"You know something Sektor, I noticed you pulled that guy's heart out."
"Yeah, I'm lucky enough to still have my powers. I'm sure you heard about Rain."
"Who's Rain?"
"The purple ninja from MK: Trilogy. You were in that. As yourself, not Sub Zero."
"I don't remember that guy."
"He had the thunderstorm fatality and that uppercut that reversed his opponent's body."
"Are you sure that wasn't Stryker?"
"No, Stryker's cooler than Rain. Anyway, Rain lost his powers shortly after the first Armageddon and last I heard he's apprenticing to be an actor under Rob Schneider."
"Who's Rob Schneider?"
"Some guy whose career died shortly after his years on SNL. Unless I'm confusing him with David Spade. Anyway, my apartment building is another block from here. That's it."
They went into Sektor's apartment. Khameleon was watching a soap opera on TV.
"Sektor, you're home early," she said without turning around. "Wait, does that mean you got the day off or were you fired?"
"I wish it was the first one," Sektor sighed. "But I brought someone home with me."
"Who?" Khameleon asked as she turned and saw him. "Noob! I haven't seen you since Armageddon. How are you?"
"I'm okay, Khameleon," Noob said. "Unfortunately, I was also fired from my job recently. I got a job at an amusement park with Ralph from Rampage."
"Was it CarnEvil?"
"I wish, but you know that died with Midway. It was on the other side of town. Ralph's still there, but I'm not."
"That sucks ass, given the economy in Earthrealm," said Khameleon.
"Yeah," said Noob. "And they foreclosed my house, so I'm basically fucked."
"It's okay," said Sektor. "Us truly villainous ninjas should form our own deadly alliance to deceive our enemies. Armageddon."
"Another thing we should do," said Noob, "Is reorganize. If CollegeHumor could do it with a series of well made videos, we can do it in a shitty fanfic written by a guy who's only played one game and knows everything else from the series from Wikipedia and Fatality vids on YouTube."
"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" asked Khameleon. "And Sektor, you can't consider going with him."
"Why not?" asked Sektor. "I want to do it. It'll be fun. You can join us, honey. I know you've only been in...okay, I'm not sure if you were in any games before Armageddon, but we can see people we haven't seen in a while. And I know you exchange emails with Mileena and Ashrah, but it's only a matter of time before they shut off our internet and electricity. So join us."
"I'm not sure I want to go on your damn fool adventure to find everyone," said Khameleon. "Last I heard from Mileena and Ashrah, Quan Chi's flipping burgers at a McDonald's somewhere else, Nightwolf's an electrician, Stryker's trying to get money out of Midway because he's pissed that he's only been in 3, Ermac snapped, Havik actually died, Shujinko does party tricks, and you don't even want to know what Kano's doing these days."
"Bisexual porn with midgets," said Noob. "Don't judge me."
"I won't," said Sektor. "Now let's go! In your car because mine's being impounded."
"They're impounding your car?" Khameleon asked.
"Now, honey..."
"No, Sektor. You're basically hopeless if you want to go through with this."
"Let's go," said Noob. He and Sektor got into his car and they went down the road.
"I know where we can find Reptile {Author's note: MKDA Reptile, because he's actually a reptile}," said Sektor. "Stop here."
Noob stopped his car. Sektor ran into the zoo over to the reptile house. He went up to the giant lizard handing out balloons and taking pictures.
"Hey, Reptile," said Sektor. "Are you sick of your job?"
"Ssssomewhat," said Reptile. "Holy ssssshit, Ssssektor! It'ssssss been a while."
"Yes," said Sektor. "Come out with me. Noob's driving. We're going to reunite as many as we can."
"Sssssoundsssss ex-ssss-cellent!"
"Um, excuse me, Reptile," said a nearby zoo agent. "You're supposed to be selling balloons until closing time."
Reptile simply shot out his tongue and swallowed the man's head. People ran out screaming. Sektor fired off a few rockets for good measure.
"It pays to be evil," said Noob as he shook Reptile's hand. "How the hell are ya, Rep?"
"Jusssst dandy, Noob," Reptile happily hissed as he got into the car. "Where are we going?"
"Just to find someone else," said Noob as he climbed in. "I don't know where anyone is. Do you?"
Reptile handed Noob an address. "You can get there, right?" he asked.
"I can," said Noob. "I can get there."
"Who lives there?" asked Sektor. He looked at the address. "No fucking way."
"Way," said Reptile. "He'ssss named like me, but the brother of someone we hate."
"Never thought I'd want to see Kobra again," said Noob as he turned the key and drove off.
Oh, boy. They're going to find Ken. I mean Kobra. I mean...you know, that guy in Deception who's part of the Black Dragon and does Hadokens.
