Chapter 1: Why?
Mortal Kombat, a tournament of the Elder Gods. A tournament that could make or break a realm's future. Some realms need to win ten tournaments to make anything happen. Others need to win only one to protect themselves. The tournament, at the current time is the tenth. In this tournament, the future of Earth Realm is on the line. Also, an woman will find feelings that would seem wrong. In other words, she will in love with a dead warrior.
Sonya Blade, a military officer of amazing martial art skill matched only by her beauty. She was not planning to compete in the tournament. She was there only to find a man by the name of Kano. Kano was the leader of a group of criminals calling themselves the Black Dragons.
She had heard that Kano would be there, so she and her men followed him. They weren't planning to get caught by Shang Tsung's men. Now she found herself fighting for her life and the lives of her men. Her oppenent was someone who she never heard of. The man in front of her looked like a ninja. His clothing and mask was yellow and black. His eyes shocked her even more, they looked blank, she wondered if he was blind.
The name of this warrior had left her confused. The name that Shang Tsung had said was 'Scorpion'. "Fight!" Shang shouted as he sat in his chair acting as Grand Master of the Tournament. Sonya had no choice. If didn't fight or win, her men would die.
She charged her oppenent with two punches which Scorpion easliy ducked. She tried to sweep kick him off his feet, he just fliped backward to avoid the hit. She started to get enraged. She couldn't land a single hit on him. Sonya tried to jump kick him, however to her suprise, her oppenent had just dissappeared. She searched the surrounding area, but she couldn't find him.
She studied Tsung's face, which said that there was someone behind her. Sonya had turned around to see Scorpion sweep her off her feet. Sonya got up and got into her fighting stance. She pulled her right fist back to ready a punch. She brought it forth and to her suprise, an energy blast had came out and went in Scorpion's direction. He simply jumped forward, leaping over the energy blast, landing in front of Sonya.
With what was left of her energy, Sonya had tried to punch Scorpion, only to have it caught and used by the ninja in order to monkey flip her on her back. Shang Tsung had seen that this match was over and so were the lives of Sonya's men.
As Sonya slowly rosed to her feet, Scorpion stood in front of her, looking into her eyes as if he was prying into her memories, awaiting her next move. This was not to be as she fell to her knees. "Finish Her!" Shang Tsung ordered. Sonya closed her eyes waiting for Scorpion to land the finishing blow. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes to see Scorpion leaving before passing out.
"Where are you going, Scorpion?" Shang asked. "Finish Her!!" He said again. Scorpion was angered, Who was this sorcerer to order him like a slave. "I refuse." Scorpion said as he turned to leave. Before he left, he heard Shang talking to his soldiers. "Sonya has lost her match, execute her men!" he ordered. That's when Scorpion interefered. "I don't think so." Scorpion said.
"Why are you interfering in this?" Shang asked. "That's my business, however, I have a deal for you." Scorpion offered. Shang Tsung was wondering what the specter was going to offer. Scorpion was taking a huge risk with this deal. "My soul for her men." Scorpion said shocking every one there even Liu Kang and Johnny Cage. "If I win my next match, you spare her men, I lose, you get my soul." Scorpion said. Shang Tsung no fool, he knew the kind of power the soul of specter could offer. "It is a deal, Her men can go free if you win your next match, if not, i own your soul." Shang Tsung said. Scorpion dissappeared in flames after knowing that Shang agreed to the deal.
After the specter left, Liu and Johnny had retrieved Sonya and took her some where for her to rest. That was the easy part. The hard part was telling her of what they heard. When they did, Sonya was shocked beyond belief. She sat on the shore of the beach, wondering why would the ninja spare her and put his soul on the line to save her men.
She wondered about the subject, even when she felt someone behind her. She turned around to find Scorpion leaning against a boulder facing a different direction on the beach. She slowly walked towards him. He then stood and looked her right in the eyes.
"You're that ninja who spared me yesterday." Sonya said. Scorpion remained silent. "Why did you spare me?" she asked. Scorpion walked past her and sat on his knees, facing the ocean. Sonya was beginning to get mad, until Scorpion answered her question. "You are like me." he said. She was bewildered, this man had just said she was like him.
"What do you mean?" She asked. Before the specter could answer, Liu and Johnny had came to find out why Scorpion was there. "What are you doing here?" Johnny asked. 'He might be here to finish Sonya off.' Johnny thought. At that moment, a thunder bolt had crashed down and transformed into the Thunder God, Raiden. Liu bowed in respect for the Thunder God as did Scorpion.
"Why are you here, Lord Raiden?" Liu asked. "I'm here just to make sure no blood is spilled." Raiden replied. "You still haven't told me what you meant by you and I are the same." Sonya said to Scorpion. "You have had something or someone taken from you for no good reason, just like me." Scorpion said.
