Chapter Two-November 14, 1:00 PM-Perspective Of Jax
There I stood, discussing strategies to stop the inevitable onslaught of destruction.
"It may be true that we can't win, but it would be worse if we hid." Kung Lao said.
"I don't care about honor anymore, I refuse to aimlessly hurl myself into a life of torture and oblivion. I've experienced enough already." Kabal said back.
"I have to agree with Kung Lao here, if we were to hide, Earthrealm would have an even smaller chance of survival, while we wait to be found and tortured to death." Smoke said.
"Yo Raiden, you've been quiet. What'cha thinkin about?" Johnny Cage asked. Raiden was simply pacing.
"What is your side on this, you are the protector here." Jade said. There was a long pause, but one word broke the silence.
"Neither." Raiden finally replied.
"What do you mean neither? Its take action, or don't." Kurtis Stryker said, demanding an answer.
"We cannot defeat them alone, but what if we had help? Someone, or something here on Earthrealm. That's my take on this, search instead of train or hide." Raiden replied again. A flurry of confusion followed. Everyone began yelling at each other.
"Wait!" A loud voice came. It was the now cyborg Sub-Zero. Silence followed.
"Raiden's on to something. We should work to find help, weather it be allies, weapons, or knowledge, we need it. Hiding or facing them will not work. Better to have a small chance than none at all." He said after.
"Thank you, Sub-Zero." Raiden said. The confusion became agreement.
"The sooner the better. Lets go!" I finally said.
The next day, I was standing with Sonya, when we heard a ring. It was Sonya's communicator.
"Sonya Blade, this is HQ, do you copy?" A static, but audible voice said.
"I'm here." She replied.
"Kano's on the move, not sure where to." The same voice said.
"On my way!" Sonya said. We rushed there, upon arriving, we had a jet prepared for us. Taking flight, we fired at a massive speed. That's what I get for telling Sonya to fly after him. Once we spotted him, he went off course and towards the ocean. A while of flying over the ocean, when Sonya called back to come see something. I was amazed. An island, with civilization! Sonya told me to hang on as Kano flew down to the island. When we did, something poked out of the side of Kano's plane. Too late. A rocket was speeding towards us. Sonya leaped out with a parachute, but I waited. When the missile was about to hit, I jumped without a parachute, landing on Kano's plane and forcing it downwards. I looked at where we were headed, a city. A massive one, almost futuristic. Kano climbed on top of the crashing plane and hurled a knife at me, which sliced on my cheek, but no serious damage. The plane was about to land, at a speed that would kill us both. I had no option, both live or both die. I slammed the plane, emitting a shield around me, to big to not fit around Kano as well. The force of the crash was enough to break through the shield, but wasn't able to kill them. The plane landed into the middle of a large building, I hope nobody was in here. Before I knew it, everything faded to black.
