Escape From OutWorld!

Chapter 2: Gotta Speed Kid!

"Oh lord my head..." Sean muttered as he rubbed his sore head.

"Where the hell am I?" Sean thought as he looked at his new and strange surroundings. Wherever he was, it appeared to be a stone prison cell, that smelt like a can of rotten sardines.

"Hey look boys, our little guests awake!" a gruff male voice said to some other people.

"Lets give him a proper welcome before he goes to see the emperor!" another gruff voice said as some chairs screeched. Sean looked over to the sound of the screeching and was terrified.

Walking over to him was three of those Tarkaten creatures, who were heading over to his cell to kick his ass. Pulling out a bunch of keys, they picked out a short, jagged, brown key. Opening the cell, they stomped inside and towered over him.

"Our leader Baraka wanted us to give you a beating once you awoke!" the tallest one said as he kicked Sean in the chest, knocking the wind out of him and sending him to his knees.

"Hes a weak one ain't he?" the second tallest of the group said as he delivered a wicked punch to his jaw, knocking out a tooth.

"One of those pussy Earth Defenders could beat you!" the shortest said as he kicked Sean in the side, sending him to the floor. The three Tarkaten warriors began laughing at the bruised young man on the ground, his hands in shackles, unable to fight back.

"Maybe we should just finish off such a weak and pathetic soul ourselves!" the tallest boasted as he pulled out a blade that came out of his arm and aimed it directly at his forehead.

"I can't believe that the Emperors daughter is attracted to such a miserable piece of crap, a EarthRealmer no less!" the tallest continued as he used his blade to tilt Seans head up to inspect him, a look of complete disgust in the Tarkatens eyes.

"But enough chatter. Let's just get this over with!" he continued as he lifted the blade up high, ready to kill him. Sean closed his eyes and awaited his doom, but it never came. He slowly opened one eye to find the Tarkaten had a sai run through him from behind.

"He is to see the Emperor! Not for target practice!" she yelled at the other two as they backed away, letting the now dead Tarkaten fall to the ground.

"Are you alright!" The revealing, part Tarkaten, ninja asked him as she knelt down and lifted his head up to look into his eyes. He looked into her worried eyes when he opened his mouth and spit on her.

"Why do you care! Your the one that locked me up!" Sean yelled into her face while jerking out of her hold, looking away from her.

"Because... Never mind that, let's just see what the Emperor thinks about you" she said while yanking the chain tied to Seans shackles and dragging him out of the dirty stone prison chamber.

The castle interior wasn't anything better though. Just like the prison cell, it was made of stone, but not as dirty and a brighter color.

"Why didn't you just kill me? Why couldn't you just end my life!" Sean yelled at her again.

"I couldn't make up my mind. I couldn't decide if I should eat you, let you become a prototype, or enslave you. So I decided after watching you asleep in your cell that maybe Father should decide your fate." she explained as she dragged Sean towards a big door.

"Now, before we go in... Make sure you don't anger him ok?" she explained with a nervous smile.

"What! What in Sams hill thinks that I will!" Sean asked angrily to her.

"Because... It means you probably have less of a chance to be murdered" she said as she turned her nervous look into a cold glare and pushed the door open. As Sean was pulled into the room, he could see a strange cast of characters.

There was a yellow ninja looking guy, a green lizard ninja, a Tarkaten that Sean could tell was the one he bludgeoned, and the same four armed monster that chased him and 8-Ball. Thinking about the last one gave him the shivers as he turned his head towards in front of him. Standing to the side of a large throne was a old, grey haired Chinese man, in a red robe. But as soon as Sean saw the man in the throne, he was terrified again. In the giant throne was a humongous muscular man, wearing a large helmet thatleft only his eyes and mouth uncovered, and a cape.

"Mileena, you've finally brought the prisoner!" the man in the throne boomed.

"Yes, I have brought this horrid little creature here in front of you father" she said rudely.

"Hey! I ain't no horrid creature you bitch!" Sean snapped back at her angrily, causing some of the other people in the room to start talking amongst themselves.

"You dare dare talk to me like that you loathsome little slime!" she yelled after slapping him across the face very hard.

"Enough! So what should we do with this one?" the man pondered as he stroked his chin.

"Maybe we should make him my slave. So he can serve me and learn his place!" Mileena gave an idea as she glared at Sean.

"Hm... That sounds like a great idea. But first, let us see if he can hold his own. Reptile!" the man ordered as the lizard ninja creature stepped forward.

"Mileena! Free him from his shackles! Let us see if he can fight!" the man ordered as Mileena started unlocking his shackles.

"Cmon... Hurry up..." Sean thought as he waited for her to unlock the shackles.

"Catch this!" Sean yelled as he flung a flash bang at the man, blinding him and the other people as well. (it's a very strong flash bang)

"Gotta speed kid!" Sean yelled as he dashed out the large door.

"Grrrr! Get that little brat!" Shao Kahn ordered as the Tarkaten warriors soon gave chase after recovering from it, Baraka leading the way.

"So what's been troubling you princess?" Jade asked Kitana as they walked down to the Throne Room to inspect the new prisoner.

"Its just something about all of this... It doesn't feel right..." Kitana explained.

"How so?" Jade asked

"All this killing. The attack on EarthRealm. It just doesn't feel right..." Kitana explained further when the two felt something bump into them. Looking down they made eye contact with a young blonde man, staring at them with fear in his eyes.

"Midnight...Riders..." the darker skinned, green garbed one mumbled as the two hot women studied him.

"Who are they?" the blue wearing woman said as they stared down at him.

"They..." Sean started to say as they watched him with unblinking eyes until he was interrupted.

"There you are!" Mileena yelled as Sean turned his head to see her running down the hallway to him.

"Can't stop now! Gotta go faster!" Sean yelled as he quickly ran past the two.

"Don't let the prisoner escape!" Mileena yelled from behind as Sean jumped over a blue fan, that had blades on it. He soon ducked under a jade batarang and two sais as he continued running while hearing more footsteps behind him.

Getting some ways ahead of them, Sean was at a dead end.

"Crap!" Sean thought as he turned around to see the shadows of his chasers on the wall.

"Double crap!" Sean cursed as he searched around the area until he spotted a large dirty stain glass window high above him.

"How can I get up there?" Sean thought until he spotted a pile of childrens toys that were just there for no reason. But on top of the pile was a red and white skateboard was what caught his eye. He then spotted a trampoline placed near the wall the window was on.

"Lets hope this works!" Sean said as he hopped on the skateboard and skated towards the ramp. He felt the blades of the fan graze his cheek barely, making a small cut on it. Turning back he spotted the three femme fatales were gaining distance and the one named Mileena was leaping up over them, to recapture him.

"WOAH!" Sean yelled as he jumped on the trampoline while on the skateboard.

"HOLY SHIT!" he yelled as he landed on the cobblestone floor of the courtyard.

He soon spotted a gate that was in front of his line of sight, left wide open for some reason.

"Almost there!" Sean thought as he skated towards it. But in the corner of his eye, he saw that yellow ninja was standing beside a crank. He lifted his foot up and gave it a powerful kick, causing the gate to start closing fast.

"Got to make it!" Sean thought as hordes of Tarkaten guards were making their into the courtyard.

"Almost there!" Sean thought as the gate was almost closed.

"Made it!" Sean cheered as he ducked under the gate just before it closed.

"My radicalness is to much for them!" Sean thought when a spear stabbed into the back of his skateboard. And before Sean could even react, it was pulled out from under him and he was sent flying into the dirt.

"Thats mine!" the yellow ninja yelled as he caught the skateboard in mid air.

"I'm still fastest thing alive!" Sean yelled at him when a burnt up man in a metal mask zoomed right next to him.

"No that would be me" he said before speeding off somewhere.

"Oh just forget it!" Sean yelled as he started running away from the fort and into a creepy looking forest.

Logic? Whats that?
