A/N Seems I forgot to mention that there's an OC in here...Oops oh well...I had fun with this chapter.
Sub-Zero moved swiftly through the snow. He had lost track of how long he had been running. All he knew is that he never stopped. But, something was wrong, oh so wrong. He was dieing of the extreme amount of time he spent in this atmosphere of ice. The Lin Kuei are a clan of ice there specialty. Sub-Zero fell to his knees, half frozen. It was painful as his knees bended bringing him closer to the ground. He rubbed his hands together but they only froze to themselves sticking together. A strong wind plowed him over and he laid on his side. Knees bent and hands together. Almost as if he was praying on his side. A splash of sunlight blinded his vision, and before he could comprehend what it was... he knew...
"Scorpion," He mumbled.
Scorpion didn't reply, instead, he pulled Sub-Zero up on his knees simply by gripping Sub-Zeros chin firmly. The hiss of melting frost filled Sub-Zeros ears. Blinking hard he realized Scorpion was shirtless. Sub-Zero faintly wondered why Scorpion was shirtless. His body started to slowly thaw. Scorpion removed his grip and the thawing stopped. Sub-Zero looked up at him questionably, wondering what could make him let go. Scorpion smirked under his hood.
Sub-Zero saw this smirk, the mask seemed only a clear veil. Something stirred in him and his eyes went wide. Scorpion relinquished the sash that was beginning to foil his plan. Dark pants Sub-Zero had seen on many occasions fluttered to the ground, fresh snow quietly dotting them.
Sub-Zero woke with a start, not sure if he just had a dream or a nightmare. Today was going to be an interesting day for Sub-Zero because little did he know he was being watched.
Scorpion was hot on their tail. He had been tracking them all through the night. The ones who injured him so. They did a poor job of covering their tracks and Scorpion was slightly suspicious of what band of idiots could be so reckless as to mess with him. He paused in his steps, there were whispers he could barely hear. He inched closer till he was in range. The whispering stopped as if he had been heard. But, looking around closely he saw to shadowy figures on the ground seemingly fighting. One of them suddenly looked as if they were drowning, like a fish out of water.
The one on top laughed and said, "Catch me later"
Scorpion threw his kuni chain. He harpooned the one on top the one on bottom quickly got away, a water puddle left where the head was. Damn it he thought. Walking over to the body that lay there he realized it to be a woman and by her attire he deemed her to be from the chaos realm. Scorpion wondered why someone from the chaos realm would be after him but soon dropped it because the being from there where crazier than he.
He tried to pull his kuni out but slim finger wrapped around his hand preventing him from doing so.
"It's mine now" the chaosrealmer said wedging the weapon between two ribs. She tried to run away but soon got yanked back because the chain was still attached. Scorpion tried to pull it out of her placing one foot on her stomach but it wouldn't budge.
"Do you mind getting that chain off?" The chaosrealmer glared stomping one foot. Scorpion pulled out his flaming blade and tried to swipe the girl. But, his blade cut through nothing but water.
"Okay fine you can take me with you" the chaosrealmer said wrapping herself with the chain and ending up in his arms.
"You can throw me over your shoulder"
"N-" a bolt of lightning stopped his words and Lord Raiden soon appeared.
Sub-Zero had been on edge all day for two reasons:
1. That strange dream/nightmare
2. He had a feeling someone was watching him
But, seeing Scorpion right in front of him at the front door of the Lin Kuei stronghold really didn't help his nerves. He thought Scorpion was watching him and with Scorpion in front of him with a thin girl clinging to his arm like a lover he figured Scorpion was a little to busy lately to be stalking him this time.
"Scorpion, why are you here?" Sub-Zero said slightly angry at the woman for some unknown reason.
"I am to keep sight of this chaosrealmer and keep her from reaching a portal to the chaosre-"
"Yes. Raiden has already informed me" Sub-Zero thought Havik would be their charge but it seems he was all wrong.
"Oh wow" the girl ran over to Sub-Zero to hang on him Sub-Zero realized that Scorpions kuni was in bedded into her and that the chain was dangling behind her. She reached him and snuggled his arm. Sub-Zero raised an eye brow at Scorpion, who was hating the cold.
"Can we go inside already I'm cold?" she begged.
Sub-Zero led the way into great building. He proceeded to an empty room.
"You will sleep here..." Sub-Zero said. But, when he felt warm liquid dripping from his arm he turned to look at the girl. She was licking his frosted arm like a lollipop and when she tried to get off her tongue stuck to him.
"Nnnnn" She pouted. Sub-Zero didn't really know how to get her off because he'd never been in this type of situation but when her tongue froze completely then her mouth, lips, face, and so on Sub-Zero looked at Scorpion who was getting much joy from this.
He walked over to Sub-Zero and defrosted the girl, He looked at Sub-Zero and the heat increased. The girl started to evaporate and clung to Sub-Zero.
"Stooop" she shouted returning to herself the kuni clanged to the floor. And she walked into the room and slammed the door with a glare. Scorpion opened the door and shut it behind him in turn slamming it in Sub-Zeros face.
Sub-Zero glared at the closed door and walked down the hallway.
"What are you?" Scorpion glared at the girl on the bed frowning.
"A chaosrealmer"
"I know that" he said irritated
"Doog" she smiled at his confused look. She got up and grabbed his arm and dragged him to the bed.
"You should sleep"
"I don't sleep"
"od uoy sey" he looked confused again as she knocked him out with a swift blow to his neck.
Knock, knock, knock.
Scorpion heard knocking at the door. He shook his head wondering what happened. ...I got knocked out … . He sat up looked around noticing something missing he answer the door.
Sub-Zero burst in, looking around, and then turned to him.
"Scorpion, she's gone"
Raiden walked into the room calmly. "You both must find her, she seems to be back in the forest where you first found her Scorpion ,and when you do Scorpion will proceed to take her to the nether realm where she must stay until all of her power is drained" He then disappeared in another strike of lightning ...in doors.
Scorpion left the Lin Kuei stronghold without a word. This girl was dangerous, more threatening than he thought. He went the way he had come. Sub-Zero quiet, and not far behind, stayed that way not wanting to make Scorpion mad.
"Hi Scorny" She waved at Scorpion motioning for them to approach, which they did cautiously. Sub-Zero wasn't surprized to see Havik standing behind the girl with an arm across her waste and a hand at his mouth with water spewing out of it. Haviks grip loosening on her he fell to the ground and heaved trying to get the water out of his lungs. She stood over by Scorpion, leaning on him, and said with a smile.
"tey ton"
She giggled and looked at Sub-Zero
"To bad I can't go home, huh?"
