*After splitting up, Raven and I are in the west neighborhood looking for Krueger. After about 20 minutes, he sees a figure on the roof of a tall building.*
Me: Up there. Raven, help me up there.
*Raven grabs me by the wrists and carries me to the top. When we reach the top of the building, we see a man with third-degree burns all over his body wearing a red and dark green striped sweater, black trousers, and worn-out working boots. He also wore a pair of bladed brown gloves and a dark brown fedora*
?: You must have a lot of nerve coming here.
Me: So you're Freddy Krueger.
Krueger: *turns around* The one and only.
Raven: So you're the one who terrorized Ryan in his dream.
Krueger: I'm the king of nightmares. It's what I do.
Me: Well, in that case, how about you take a vacation in Hell?!
Krueger: Bring it on!
Me: You asked for it. You readers enjoy this chapter while we deal with Krueger.
Kombat in the Kingdom
Chapter 2: Encounter
In a circular field enveloped by cherry blossom petals, Sub-Zero runs in and encounters a man with shaggy black hair over a red headband wearing only black and red pants with a red sash bearing a gold dragon symbol and spiked gauntlets meditating in the center. Sub-Zero gives a bow upon his presence.
"Liu Kang, there is a problem." Sub-Zero said.
"What could it be?" Liu Kang asked as he got up and faced the cryokinetic ninja.
"It's about Scorpion." Sub-Zero answered.
"Don't you think he may have taken his vengeance too far?" Liu Kang asked.
"It's more than that. He's disappeared." Sub-Zero said.
"To where?" Liu Kang asked.
"Who knows? It would be too risky to pursue him without any knowledge of his current location." Sub-Zero said. Liu Kang then got a look of shock.
"Find a portal and go to that world. Once you do, find Scorpion and bring him here." Liu Kang said. Sub-Zero nodded and proceeded out of the academy.
Atop the castle in Enchancia, Scorpion is watching the fields along the horizon. His mind is wandering about. He's most likely thinking about why he was transported to this mysterious world. After about 30 minutes, he jumps off the castle and lands in the courtyard perfectly. He was about to leave until he heard a familiar voice from behind him.
"Scorpion!" a voice called out. Scorpion turns around to see Sofia with her stepsiblings meet with him.
"Princess Sofia." Scorpion greeted with a bow. "I believe these are your stepsiblings."
"Yeah. This is Princess Amber and Prince James." Sofia introduced.
"Pleased to meet you, Scorpion." James greeted.
"Is this the ninja you saw defeating those knights yesterday?" Amber asked her stepsister.
"Mm-hmm. He was badly wounded when I found him before the attack, so I took him to the castle infirmary." Sofia explained.
"You have?" James asked. Sofia nods with a smile. Scorpion starts to hear a mysterious noise behind him and it starts to get closer towards Sofia.
"Look out!" Scorpion shouted as he pulls out one of his swords and deflects the projectile, which was a glowing green arrow.
"What was that?" James asked in wonder.
"That was a spirit arrow. There's only one shaman I know that conjures those." Scorpion explained as a man with shoulder length black hair wearing a Native American outfit wielding spiritual tomahawks walked into the field.
"I have found you, Scorpion." The shaman said.
"Why are you here for me, Nightwolf?" Scorpion asked.
"I have sensed that the spiritual balance has shifted. To restore the balance, I must return you to the Netherrealm." Nightwolf said.
"I like to see you try." Scorpion retorted. "You three need to go somewhere safe." The three royal children took cover behind a nearby tree as Scorpion got ready to fight.
(Battle Music: Mortal Kombat (2011) – Bell Tower)
Nightwolf begins by enveloping himself in green spirit energy and charging at Scorpion, but he vanishes in a puff of black smoke. Nightwolf looks around for him. Scorpion reappears above him and attempts to strike him with his sword but Nightwolf anticipates this and counters by summoning a blast of lightning.
"I underestimated you, shaman. Too bad I won't go down easy." Scorpion said.
"We'll see." Nightwolf replied. Scorpion took out his kunai and threw it at the shaman. He retaliates by surrounding himself in green spirit energy. The kunai strikes him but the projectile is sent back at Scorpion. He grabs it when it was inches to his face and sheathes it. They then engage in close range combat.
"Man, Scorpion is quite the fighter." James said in amazement.
"What did I tell you?" Sofia asked. Scorpion manages to knock Nightwolf onto his back. He pulls out his sword and raises it into the air.
"Any last words, shaman?" Scorpion threatened.
"Just one: Now!" Nightwolf shouted. Scorpion looks behind him and a blur knocks him unconscious. When he comes to one hour later, James and Amber are beside him.
"What happened? Where's Sofia?" Scorpion asked, looking around.
"I think you might want to take a look at this." James answered, handing the specter a note. He takes the note. It read:
Scorpion,
My deepest apologies for doing this, but you do not belong in this world. The balance of your world has shifted because of your absence. Sending Nightwolf and Kabal to battle you, kidnap Princess Sofia and take her to our world is the only way you'll respond to this message. If you want her safe and sound, come to the Wu Shi Academy in Earthrealm, alone. You'll find the portal behind the castle.
Sub-Zero.
"Sounds like a trap." James warned. Scorpion was angry now.
"This ends now." Scorpion said with anger. "Tell your father what happened. I'm going to Earthrealm to get her back." Scorpion ran to the very back of the castle and found the portal. He immediately went through and the portal closes.
*Freddy Krueger is kneeling in pain when Raven and I defeated him.*
Me: I think you've done enough damage here, Krueger.
Freddy Krueger: Don't think you've won.
Raven: What are you talking about?
*My wrist-com starts to emit static.*
Me: This is Archer.
Dante: *signal garbled* Archer, are you there?
Me: What is it, Dante?
Dante: I think we're in trouble. There's- *connection is cut off*
Me: Dante? Dante, answer me! What have you done with them?!
Freddy Krueger: Well, if you want to know, they're in the old factory southeast of here
Me: The old factory, huh? Well, we better get there if we want to find them. You readers review. Peace out, friends!
