Chapter 1

Baraka cried when he heard Mileena died by the hands of his ex-partner Scorpion. That was the first time he had ever cried; he swore revenge against Scorpion. Ermac entered the room Baraka was in. "What's up?" He asked.

Baraka did not reply.

"Shao Kahn has a mission for us. You better come."

Baraka followed Ermac to the throne room where Shao Kahn was waiting.

"I have been waiting!" said Shao Kahn. "Go and capture the renegade Scorpion!"

This was the happiest mission Baraka ever had to do.

Baraka got sent to the Nether Realm. He started to walk through the dark space, while flames burst all around him, lighting his way. Suddenly, the fire went out and the smoke cleared. There was a long bridge in front of him, it was dark and he could sense the evil around him. Then, all of a sudden, two ninjas and a hell dog appeared, blocking his route. He extended the blades in his hands, ready for combat!

The two orange clad ninjas were both wearing the mark of the Shirai Ryu Clan. One of the ninjas sat a top the devilish hell dog. The ninja on the hell dog rushed Baraka. In retaliation, Baraka flipped over them and tried with all his might to slash the ninja; to his dismay the ninja blocked it with his short sword.

Suddenly, the second ninja threw a chain with a sharp blade at the end in Baraka's direction. Baraka dodged it and chopped the chain in half. The lose blade flew towards the dog, instantly slicing the dog's head clean from his neck. The body fell limp and the head rolled off of the rickety bridge. The ninja that rode the dog rushed toward Baraka head on followed by the other who rushed him from the back. Baraka punched the first ninja on the chin, an uppercut, making the ninja fly straight across the darks recesses of the Nether Realm and then quickly turned around and impaled the other in the stomach, causing blood to gush out of his mouth.

Defeating his enemies, Baraka crossed the bridge and saw before him a dark, menacing castle. In the cloak of the dark he was able to sneak into the castle undetected to the thrown room where he knew Scorpion dwelled. But as he entered the room, Baraka saw something, which he knew would haunt him for the rest of his days. Beside the thrown on which Scorpion sat, stood Mileena.

"What??!!" Baraka shouted in anger.

"Get rid of him!" said Scorpion to his henchmen that lingered in the shadows. Scorpion glared at Baraka. "You are no threat to me!"

Six ninjas resembling the first ones he fought on the bridge slithered out of the darkness like pythons. Baraka quickly slaughtered them all, leaving the room in a bloody mess.
