So... I'm sitting at home with this really complicated and long pharmacology subject to study for a test a would have two days later and I just take my phone and decide to play a round of Mortal Kombat X for Mobile. As I am playing, I notice the characters features and I think (again) about something I've been thinking since I watched the Story Mode Movie on YouTube… This game have the hottest males appearances.
Then I open the editor and start writing and this is it. Basically just a shameless porn to satisfy my desires of one day watching the Mortal Kombat characters in a very smutty fic.
So, if the character's semblance doesn't make you happy, have this nice human dreamcast to help you out: Jax – Ildris Elba; Johnny Cage – Chris Pratt; Sub-Zero – Richard Armitage; Scorpion – Byung-Hun Lee; Kano – Bradley Cooper; Kenshi – Tim Kang.
Prologue – Falling to The Forest
Jax was simply… Jax, from the start. Despite Sonya's interest to come along and help with the investigation, he demanded her to stay at the jet and watch the outsides for intruder. Beside she could monitor the forest from there and she was way better with this. Not better than she was fighting, but Sub-Zero, Scorpion or Johnny Cage sending the orders… Just, nope! Kenshi would be a good choice, but he was the only one capable to guide then correctly through unexplored territory.
The last experience they had with weird forest in the middle of nowhere was a little bit traumatic, but if Kano had his way on this one, it is worth the check.
"Sonya, we are close to the first suspect area. Do you see anything different?" Jax asks on his wrist-com.
"Not at all," Sonya grants "Beside the huge heat detected from there, nothing wrong. Be careful, guys. Judging by the temperature, this maybe some kind of reactor."
"Why would Kano need a reactor in the middle of a forest?" Johnny inquires.
"I think this is what we're here for," Kenshi interferes, "To figure it out."
"Check-mate, Fold-man," Johnny rolls his eyes.
The group slows down its walk, so they can check carefully. Jax keeps an eye open for threats, but no matter how deep they go into the forest nothing abnormal comes to sight.
"Sonya, report," Jax requests.
"You are right over it. If there should be something suspicious, you should be looking at it," the Major informs.
"But there's nothing here," Johnny restates.
"Not over the ground, at least," Scorpion says, knelt to touch the soil. "This floor is hot. Something lies under it."
"So Kano has his base on the underground," Jax analyzes "We need to find an entrance."
"Guys… I think something is really wrong," Sonya states, "If Kano is doing something inside this forest, shouldn't you be killing a bunch of Black Dragon thugs by now?"
The five-man group look at each other with the same doubt she has. Whenever Kano and the Black Dragon have their schemes to put up they try every single way to keep intruders away, dead or alive, but this forest is simply clean. In fact, inhabited. Not a single animal crossed their path since they entered the trees.
"We are heading back," Kenshi informs.
But before they give the next step the ground rumbles loudly.
"Tell me that one was your stomach," Johnny kids around to Jax.
The deserved answer is not given. The ground crushes and the floor breaks, leaving them to a free fall. Jax holds to the edge of the hole made by the crush with Johnny holding on to his leg. Scorpion throws his kunai to a tree and keeps Sub-Zero on the air, holding his hand. Kenshi does not move, he floats with the help of his telepathy.
"Guys, what's happening?" Sonya inquires.
"I guess someone knows we're here," Kenshi answers, looking at the nucleus of the hole open into the ground. It emanates a bright red light but nothing can be seen besides this.
The brunches of the trees start spluttering and cracking all around them.
"It's not a someone, it's a something," Sub-Zero states, "The forest is alive."
Vines drive themselves to Kenshi, but are promptly torn apart by Sento. Jax manages to throw Johnny over the edge, but a wall of brunches and thorns greets the actor. They try to wrap around him, but Cage uses his speed to quickly slip out of their trap and tear them.
"Hanzo!" Kenshi levitates ahead to Scorpion and Sub-Zero who are both in trouble with the vines whipping them around.
"Guys, I'm sending the support team, just keep alive," Sonya informs.
"Gives a not-so-obvious order!" Johnny demands.
"Fuck you!" The Major retorts.
"I'm afraid I can't accomplish this one now," Johnny says, trying to escape the vines again.
"They surrounded us," Kenshi states, trying to levitate Scorpion and Sub-Zero to the safe ground.
"We've been surrounded the moment we entered this place," says Jax, shooting the closest amount of brunches.
"Not for so long," Scorpion blasts fire into the brunches. For a moment, it works as they fall back, shaking in the air and making burning ashes fly around, but not much after this they keep up with the attempt to wrap them. "What the…"
"They are immune to ice as well," Sub-Zero states, watching the plants break the blocks of ice in which he trapped them.
"Sonya, where's that support team?" Jax tries to keep the vines away, but one of them take away his gun and wraps around his arms. He manages to pull free, but more grab onto him, making impossible for him to break so many at one time.
"On their way," she informs, nearly as desperate as them, because she can hear everything.
"Better make their way shorter," Johnny tries to kick a brunch, but it catches his legs. Kenshi tries to help him, but the vines take away Sento and wrap around his waist.
"Sonya!" Jax exclaims.
"Guys, hold on just a little bit longer!" Sonya implores, however, instead of a nervous answer, all that she gets is the sound of static. The wrist-com has been damage and she spends the next two minutes screaming for anyone to answer, but as no one does, she grabs her weapons on the desk of the jet and heads to the forest insides.
