Since I didn't state this in my first two chaps of this fic I would just like to say I don't own Mortal Kombat or Shonen Jump although if I did well let's just say I probably wouldn't be typing this now lol!, Anyway on to the story hooray!

Chapter 1: Liu Kang - Battle 2

After the battle with Kung Lao whom was still unconscious The Master then went on to give Liu Kang the proper ceremony with all the students sitting on there knees in rows of six. Kung Lao was taken so that his wounds would be cured for while Liu Kang stood in the back with two fellow monk brother discussing the bout between himself & Kung Lao.

Monk 1: " That battle was an intense one brother, Tell me . . how was it that you were not confined by this so called Rage that brother Kung Lao was"

With that question asked Liu Kang already knew what the answer was.

Liu Kang: " To be perfectly honest brother . . . I do not know myself, When I & the rest of the forces of light stood against the crisis those 5 years ago the RAGE would either come upon us of suddenness or if we were building up Rage within us to help it's control over us making ourselves much more vulnerable, Kung Lao seemed upset that the Masters ended his first round so sudden even when he felt that he was good enough for battle that his angry eventually attracted & exposed him to the RAGE, He isn't experienced as I am so therefore it was much easier of it to take control of him" Liu responded as his fellow monk just looked at him in awe fashion.

Monk 2: " So I see . . . I hope he is alright" Said the 2nd monk who was concerned for the Butterfly Flip Liu Kang used on him did great damage to his well being so it was only natural to worry. But knowing Kung Lao Liu Kang only smiled & reassured him.

Liu Kang: " Do not worry, If anyone is capable of withstanding one of my mightiest attacks it is that man, I'm sure he will join us shortly" Then as soon as that was said all that was heard immediately were bells around the Wu Shi Academy as loud gongs rang through the battle grounds in which they all knew what the sound meant. Very quickly all of the students including Liu Kang sat on there knees with there heads faced down & there eyes closed as the 3 Master took there place were they were when the battle between Liu Kang & Kung Lao was going on. As the 2nd & 3rd Masters sat on their respective seats the 1st & Eldest one stood with a MK dragon logo that resembled the sign of the elder gods except it was a white medallion in his hands.

1st Master: " As you all know today the final bout for the rightful claim of the title "Supreme Champion of The White Lotus" was held today, And though both the warriors fought very valiantly . . . in the end there was a victory . . .& a loser . . . today however due to the opponent unable to attend this ceremony due to serious injuries we are unable to congratulate him in making it as far as he had"

Liu Kang when heard this then in his mind started to feel sad & have doubts as to if Kung Lao really is injured because of his last attack & if he'll even be able to attend this.

1st Master: " But none the less we recognize his talent & skill & as one of our veteran brothers here he will indeed receive the proper reward when he is back to mobility . . .in the mean time I would like to call upon the victor of the tourney . . .Liu Kang!" The Master said calling his name rather loudly as Liu Kang stood straight up quickly not moving until he was told to do so.

1st Master: " Please . . .come down & be before your brothers here" The Eldest Master said with a calm voice & a smile planted on his face while cradling the medallion in his hands.

Liu Kang waited no longer & with a smile of his own walked toward the front of the crowd who still had there heads faced down until they were told to look up. After Liu Kang arrived to the front facing the Eldest Master he awaited what he had to say.

1st Master: " Liu Kang, . . . as the winner of this years tourney you have proved once again that you are deemed worthy of being the sole representation of the Shaolin Monks & the style of the White Lotus were ever you journey, And for that reason we once again pass down our most sacred prize"

As the Eldest Master now proceeds to place the medallion over the head of Liu Kang he gently puts his head down so that the master may be able to place it gently on his neck, Once finished Liu Kang picked his head back up & looked to the eldest master's eyes as the master took a step closer to say something that no one else can hear.

1st Master: " I personally would like to state that out of all my students that you . .Liu Kang have represented us throughout many struggles & have almost always come out victorious, I just wanted to say that I'm am proud of you my son" The Master told Liu Kang as he referred to all of his students as his sons so it was normal.

Liu Kang: " Thank You Master" He said quietly as he bowed not only to the 1st but the 2nd & 3rd Masters as well, Then afterwards looked up at his master's face who had a smile on it.

1st Master: " And now you Liu Kang Champion of Mortal Kombat & still reigning champion of the White Lotus are now the one that will now be deemed worthy of representation of the Wu Shi Academy from this day on, Let us rises my sons & honor him in celebration!" As the Master said happy while raising his hands in the air as the rest of the students stood up to cheer & clap for Liu Kang on his new found accomplishment.

He looked back & felt very proud of himself that he could now represent the Wu Shi Academy to the fullest with knowing that all of his brothers & even his masters behind him 100%. As they still cheered for him he then bowed to all of his fellow monk brothers & rose up to speak.

Liu Kang: " Thank You . . .all of you, Today I celebrate with you my fellow brothers & I vow to never let any harm or disgraces come to the name of Shaolin, I only hope that you will all count on me in return because . ." He then takes of his medallion & rises it high in the air.

Liu Kang: " I will not let you's down!" He shouts while raising his medallion high in the air which made his fellow brother cheer even more, He was indeed happy & he knew that were ever Raiden was .. . he was watching & was smiling down as he heard a slight crack of thunder in the sky or at least he though he heard it.

After time passes it is the afternoon in which the celebration by this time has ended & the rest of the students have returned to there monastery s. The only ones who where out on the field were The Eldest Master & Liu Kang , The eldest master had gone inside for a minute while Liu Kang sat quietly meditating to himself.

But as he heard foot steps he stopped, He didn't divert from his position but just listen to the foot step as they got closer and closer. Until . . .

1st Master: " You may now stand Liu Kang" The Master told him & as Liu Kang stood fully up to face his master he also saw with him his friend Kung Lao fully freed of any bruises he would have suffered from the fight.

Liu Kang: " I knew you would return, So how were the pot tubs?" He asks knowing Kung Lao jokingly.

Kung Lao: " Very funny, although I must say there are much more comfortable then I though" He says as the master cuts in.

1st Master: " Now that the 3 of us are to ourselves I would like to talk about the battle that took place between you two" As he said this the both went from joking to having serious faces.

Kung Lao: " Your right . . . what happen . . . I don't remember much except for being angry at the fact that the first round was over with rather so quickly when I knew in my heart I could have continued." Kung Lao stated with a sadden face which the other two had taken note of.

Kung Lao: " Afterword s I suddenly saw this bright yellow light & . . . nothing but darkness afterword s" He said now wearing a confused look on his face as Liu Kang & the Master both shared looks at each other before facing Kung Lao again to which he felt suspicious.

Kung Lao: " What . . .is there something that you two are not telling me about, You know something don't you's?" Kung Lao questioned, He didn't like being in a situation where he was the only one misinformed. Liu Kang then decided to speak up after taking in a long deep breath.

Liu Kang: " Kung Lao, The reason you were not your self or better yet remember anything is because . . . ." Liu stood quite for a minute trying to figure out how to explain what caused Kung Lao to lose a match in which he trained so hard for all to go to waste upon being possessed but the Rage, But Kung Lao wanted answers & he wanted them now.

Kung Lao: " Well . . . what had happen to me, I want to know!" He said demanding an answer.

Liu Kang: " . . . You were affected by the RAGE Kung Lao, An energy that a few of us have dealt with before." Liu Kang simply put but to Kung Lao it really meant nothing, He needed more information.

Kung Lao: " Rage? . . . .what exactly is it?" He asked as the Master now spoke.

1st Master: " An energy that we had all at one point sub came to or were taking by force from a nature that is beyond our understanding" The Master said as he only spoke of what he knew from the last time he was entrapped in Rage & teleported else where. But Liu Kang knew there was more to it than that & that for right now he was the only one who could explain it thoroughly.

Liu Kang: " Actually master . . the Rage isn't an unknown source of energy, Believe it or not it came from the essence of Shao Kahn mixed in with elements of the previous universe that had engaged with ours" He said while playing the events out to them with his hands making two fists & colliding them together explaining the merger. Kung Lao & the Master just listen to every word he had to say describing what had happen & what the situation now could possibly lead to.

A Few Moments after explaining . . . .

Liu Kang: " So that is what I know so far, That our world may be joining another, Unless this type of rage the emperor was able to conjure up on his own then the story can be different but . . .I don't know anymore" He said coming to an unknown conclusion as to what possibilities can turn up because of this.

Kung Lao: " I say we hunt this so called Rage out then, If there is a threat of endangerment to us then we should gladly meet it should we not" Kung Lao said ready for action & pumped up but felt a calming hand on his shoulder, He look to see Liu Kang stare at him with a concerned face.

Liu Kang: " I also had the same sentiments but I was told by Raiden himself to wait for his word, We've known him for practically since the beginning of our journeys & even though on some occasions him & I have come to war of words I know for him to come through when needed." He reassured Kung Lao who for now calm down just a little.

Kung Lao: " Hmm . . .I suppose you have a point, Fine it is settled" Kung Lao concluded

1st Master: " Indeed." The Eldest Master then told them both while appearing in front of both of them now instead of just beside Liu Kang.

1st Master: " I will admit that with the coming crisis I fell complied to feel fear . . . .but . . when I know that Raiden has chosen warriors of your caliber I can feel the wind of the calm blowing past me as if there is no danger any more" He says gracing them with the warmest smile, Like how a father would give to his two sons who was proud to watch them grow everyday only to become something great & stand for something in the end.

Liu Kang: " Master you mustn t . . ."

1st Master: " No, I will . . .. . ." He rejected as he placed each hand of his on each of there shoulders and just took a moment to look at each as all they can do was smile at him.

1st Master: " Despite that I may have been hard on you both in the past it was only because I knew the truth on what really was out there in this world called reality & even though you's were young I tried to instill that dispelled in you at very young age's, But in the end it has indeed not gone in vain for now standing before my eyes are the two greatest warriors earth realm has ever graced as it's protectors & I thank the elder gods that you were sent to me so that the savior's of this realm would leaver there mark with The White Lotus. . . . .I . . . am . . .proud of you's . . . my sons" The Master spoke as all Kung Lao & Liu Kang could do is smile as Kung scratched the back of his head with a smile & Liu Kang just bowed in respect.

Liu Kang: " Thank you . . . . Father" Liu Kang said

Kung Lao: " Yes . . .thank you for all that you had given us" Kung Lao spoke as he & Liu Kang looked at each other & smiled once again.

1st Master: ' Very well, Now although I'm amongst the first to trust Lord Raiden's words it would seem that the Rage had already infected Kung Lao greatly even with what little anger he produced. What I'm suggesting of you two now is to go seek him out immediately, In the mean time I will stay & do what I can for the academy & the rest of our brothers" He said as Kung Lao & Liu Kang nodded there heads.

Kung Lao: " Right, We will do as you suggested Master"

Liu Kang: " Indeed, we will be on our way " Liu said as he & Kung Lao bowed in respect for him as he looked towards them. As they rose back up the master was going to relay one more message.

1st Master: " Now I must . . . .AHH!" He shouted as his eyes widen & his jaw dropped & within the same moment Kung Lao & Liu Kang were struck in the face as hot & warm fresh blood splattered on there faces & there chest.

As they were cleaning there eyes wiping the blood from there faces the looked to see the Master clutching both hands around his chest as blood started to drip rapidly in between his fingers of each hand. Kung Lao & Liu Kang then wore the face of shock as to what it could have been that struck him in the chest.

Liu Kang: " MASTER!"

Kung Lao: " NO!"

They shouted until they were surprised when the Master had uncraddled his chest only to unveil a kunai pierced through it all bloody up.

Master: " G . . .o . . .now!" He told them until they heard a familiar yell.

?: " GET OVER HERE!" It screamed as the Master was then pulled into the arm of one they already recognized as soon as they heard the words shouted, The yellow cladded ninja named Scorpion.

Kung Lao: " You!" He said as he pointed at Scorpion as he held the Master in his arm now but what he had recognized at that moment as well was that in Scorpion's other hand which was by his waist side he held the body of the 2nd Master by the head whom it seemed was unconscious or possibly dead . . .

Liu Kang: " SCORPION WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" Liu shouted at him demanding an answer for his actions because for as long as him & Kung Lao had known him they knew that Scorpion wouldn't just attack without reason with the exception being either Sub-Zero or anyone he had a quarrel with which in cases aren't rare but the White Lotus haven't done anything as of recent so this was indeed in need of an answer.

Scorpion then glared his cold white eyes towards the two shaolin warriors & spoke his peace.

Scorpion: " It was you whom had brought me here . . ., The so called Shaolin using there own sorcery summoning me from my own journey & then to here all while the so called students of the White Lotus attacking me!"

Kung Lao: " What . . then . . YOU MEAN!" Kung Lao shouted as he only could have known the worst could have happened from that outcome.

Scorpion: " Indeed . . .they were futile in the White Lotuses mission to end me all the reason for my summoning on being here, Now I come to do what was saved to be done to me!" Scorpion said as his eyes then grew brighter with yellow bright light as he got angrier with his voice getting deeper as well.

Kung Lao: " Wait, Liu . . what is with his eyes? " He asked as he noticed the change all so sudden but Liu Kang then suddenly began to realize it all

Liu Kang: " (. . . could his rage over consume him that he had been transported here in to one of the temples of the Wu Shi Academy & in normal instinct of self defense did the others attack him upon sudden intrusion, And then there are the Masters, Could they have help as well all the while Kung Lao, Master 1 & I were here . . .) "

Kung Lao: " Liu Kang is there something wrong . . . .Liu . . .. . LIU!" He shouted as Liu Kang finally came out of his deep though & answered him.

Liu Kang: " In his eyes, The rage has consumed him the same as it did you" He responded as Scorpion had enough of talking.

Scorpion: " Enough, If the Shaolin had brought me here to do away with me they shall soon see that I am no easy target!" As he said this a fiery lava portal opened underneath the 1st Master in which once it was open Scorpion then shoved him down fully into the portal to which all that was heard were screams from him & a thousand or so more dead souls as the Neatherrealm took him.

At this action Kung Lao had seen enough & then rage suddenly without his knowledge consumed him as well.

Liu Kang: " MASTER!" He shouted as he saw his own Master slump deep down only for him & Kung Lao to see his soul rise from the portal & shoot into the clouds. . . . . the master was dead & gone.

Kung Lao felt so many emotions in that one moment alone that his body shivered with clutched fist trying to control all of them but when you see a sight of someone you can consider close to a father died horribly before your own eyes no one would blame you, But the simply fact that the only powered emotions that was controlling him now was pure rage meant that he was uncontrollable of his actions which could prove dangerous to yes his enemy now Scorpion but also to his friend Liu Kang.

Kung Lao: " YOU . . .WILL . .PAY FOR THAT WITH YOU LIFE SPECTER!" And with that said Kung Lao rushed towards Scorpion but Scorpion also fueled with rage had already made his move.

Scorpion: " NO! YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR SOUL!" As he said this he raised his hand as it burst in flames in which caused Kung Lao to stop & go in a defensive stance to which nothing happened, Then though Liu Kang saw what was going to happen as he saw lava cracking underneath Kung Lao's feet as he was still in his defensive stance, As Liu Kang was about to call out to him to warn him it was all suddenly to late as Scorpion howled.

Scorpion: " EERRRAHH!" He shouted as flames burst from underneath Kung Lao and covered him as it rose up & before anything all Kung Lao could let out was cry for pain.

Kung Lao: " AHHHH!" He cried.

Liu Kang: " NO! KUNG LAO!" and as the fire died back down there was no sign of Kung Lao, He was gone & so was the portal, All that was left on the battle filed was he & Scorpion.

Scorpion then looked towards the direction of Liu Kang with rage still in his eyes.

Scorpion: " Now you shall be next warrior!" He shouted as Liu Kang was caught up in nothing then his raw emotions pouring into his being, Love, Hate, Friendship & more . . . . .was all gone as his Master & Kung Lao were taken by Scorpion form his very eyes, All these emotions were all overshadowed with nothing but cold RAGE, Even when Liu Kang knew it's conditions he couldn't help but feel it & now as his own eyes glew yellow he then shot his head up from staring at the ground directly to Scorpion.

Liu Kang: " YOU HAVE DESTROYED MY HOME!, MY BROTHERS, MY MASTER & EVEN KUNG LAO MY BEST FRIEND!" He shouted with all that he had plus the deep void in his voice which caused it to sound more demonic in form, Even Scorpion in his own rage was a little taken back but did not show it as he just glared at him.

Liu Kang: " FOR EARTH REALM & BY THE THE ELDER GODS I WILL END YOU HERE & NOW SCORPION!" He shouted once again as he got into a fighting stance & with seeing this Scorpion did not hesitate to throw the 2nd Masters body which he held his head with his hand & get into a fighting stance of his own.

Battle 2: Liu Kang vs. Scorpion

Liu Kang due to his new fueled anger started things off first by rushing towards Scorpion with a right hook which Scorpion blocked effortlessly & countered with a sweep to which Liu Kang fell back & rolled back up to a defensive stance as Scorpion now started on the attack with multiple strikes of different combinations, Right Left hard slaps that were being blocked with little trouble by Liu Kang along with side kicks switching up from side to side once in a while after periods of punch combinations.

Scorpion wasn't letting up as he kept on attacking & after a period of time he discovered that Liu was only concerned about blocking his upper body & didn't even think about an attack from the mid section. But Scorpion knew that any attack couldn't do, If he attacked from the mid section then it would have to be one in which Liu Kang couldn't follow up with a defense afterwards, And he had the perfect technique just for it.

As Liu Kang was being bombarded with combination after combination he decided to now make Scorpion go on the defense as he entered towards Scorpion's direction with a series of knuckle jabs himself towards Scorpion's Face & upper body area to which Scorpion was dogging easily until he decided to finally go for his one attack he had though about before, As Liu Kang continued his fist was caught by Scorpion as he clutched on it tightly unallowing Liu Kang to bring it back to his side.

It was at this point that Liu Kang decided to use his other free fist to strike at Scorpion's face but when he did all that it did was phase right through him, Liu Kang was in shock as to how this could have been but then from out of no where Liu Kang was attacked from behind with an uppercut that knocked him forward into Scorpion but once again his whole body phased right through him as he caught himself with his hands catching the ground & flipping forward to get on his feet.

Looking to see what the reason for Scorpion being untouchable was for he then found his answer as the ninja's body started to fade away & the real Scorpion appeared in front of what was his stand still clone. Scorpion had used his teleporting technique on Liu Kang enabling him to detect where the attack would come from without realizing Scorpion's absence. All Scorpion did was sneer.

Scorpion: " Hmm . . . you will indeed need to provide better skill than what you displayed if you think to defeat me!" He shouted now bursting into flames as he teleported once again, This time Liu Kang was aggravated as he got up with a growl he was once again attacked from behind with another uppercut as Liu Kang began flying towards the other end of the arena & preceded to roll in mid air in order to catch himself until then another uppercut cut off his movements & sended him launching back towards were he previously was.

Scorpion then rushed towards Liu Kang then jumped in the air rolling towards Liu into which in time Liu stood up to see. Scorpion then extended his leg straight out as he moved towards Liu Kang's direction to possible strike him down with the kick until Liu Kang then catches the leg with both of his arms & then turns using his full might on slamming Scorpion towards the ground like a wip crushing his face & upper body with a gruesome crunching sound on the cement floor of the battle grounds of the Wu Shi Academy.

After mere seconds though Scorpion then used his free leg in which Liu Kang did not grab in order to flip in a forward position & Heel kick Liu Kang in the chin knocking his head straight up & loosening his grip on the specter's leg. After fully flipping forward on his feet Scorpion rushed & shifted violently with a round house kick towards Liu Kangs face which connected perfectly spinning him still in mid air, He then followed up with two strong mid kicks to the stomach hitting perfectly stopping the spinning with the 2nd kick launching Liu kang mid air in which Scorpion took this time to take the advantage of their fight.

Scorpion then teleported back & forth at least four times hitting Liu Kang in mid air causing him to be bounced back & forth continuously until Scorpion teleported to the ground standing behind the direction Liu Kang was about to fall in and was preparing to launch a straight kick into the back of Liu Kang s head. Despite being in bad shape at the moment Liu Kang was still able to concentrate even with being knocked around a bit & fixed his focus on the opponent behind him since he was able to sense Scorpion s aura after standing at a certain point for a while & not teleporting which would have made things such as before a little more difficult. And as Scorpion finally launched his kick in which it would have struck as soon as the the thrust of his kick was finish but unfortunately for him Liu Kang caught wind of it from were Scorpion s energy flow was shooting towards and it was toward the back of his head, Immediately Liu Kang redirected the energy from the kick by placing his hands behind his head while falling back and once Scorpion s kick connected Liu pushed upwards rolling over Scorpions head & in midair from behind drop kicking Scorpion in the back of the head in which caused him to stumble forwards and roll back up & around to face Liu who proceeded to do the same after rolling up after the drop kick.

Scorpion then brought his defense up once again as Liu Kang rushed him this time with a straight forward bicycle kick plummeting his crossed arms with nothing but kick after kick after kick but once he was finished he didn t stop as he landed on the ground he brought his momentum to drop with him as he used his elbow to drop it on Scorpion s head, A move in which the specter did not expect he then drops his guard as Liu Kang goes for two punches to the chest and a thrusting palm underneath his chin rising Scorpion up. This time Liu though it was his turn to be juggled as he went up preformed a straight kick in the air hitting Scorpion s back with enough force to start spinning him in a backward 360 motion in which Liu sought a perfect time to perform his combination of a Bicycle Kick which connected perfectly then following up with two fireballs striking the ninja in the chest perfectly as well and then finally with his Flying Dragon Kick to which Liu Kang wasn t as lucky. This time Scorpion was ready as he performed the same trick Liu Kang had done to him earlier, As the Flying Dragon Kick came his way he fixed himself in midair & flipped forward in a 360 motion to which caught Liu off guard as Scorpion grabbed on to his shoulders & forced all the weight forward causing them to spin 360 while almost touching the ground in midair & finally ending the move with Scorpion spinning them to where he was now above Liu double kicked him to the ground in which he performed his famous Air Throw technique.

Now Scorpion was about to stomp on Liu Kang s Abdomen area to break his ribs but Liu shifted his body to the side to instead lock both his forearms in front & behind his Scorpion s leg in which he used the same technique he did on Kung Lao s arm but this time Liu made sure he put enough force in order to break the leg to which a large crack noise was made as parts of his bone were grinded out of place but surprisingly Scorpion only let out a small yelp so to this Liu responded by rising his leg up hitting Scorpion in the chin launching him in the air as Liu got up off the ground. Scorpion while in air then disappeared with his teleport in a puff of flame smoke but this time Liu made sure to activate his parry in which flames started igniting on both his hands for in this stay if any opponent struck anywhere on his body then that opponent will remain in a state of pause for just only moments ( Enough time for Liu to retaliate). And just as suspected Scorpion came from behind with an elbow to the back of Liu s head in which Liu grunted from the pain but knew Scorpion could not move for only mere seconds as Liu turned around and gathered enough force to round house Scorpion to the face sending him a couple of feet back away from his to which he landed on his feet to get in his fighting stance as Liu did the same. The two stood there silent for what seemed like a whole minute until one of them finally broke the silence.

Scorpion: "So you seem to have a counter for my Flameport movement, Do not however think that I only have this move as an main arsenal to my battles Shaolin, If you do then your BLINDED FORESIGHT WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU AND THE WHITE LOTUS! He shouted giving him a buildup of more RAGE as it poured around him growing stronger."

Liu Kang saw the effect taking place but wasn't fearful only because he too was engulfed with Rage at the time so he responded only a Raged warrior would . . .

Liu Kang: You will find no mercy from me specter for I do not fear you, Come at me with what you have but only know that I will not rest until you've PAID FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! He shouted as the Rage powered him even more as well as the two stared once again.

And is as if a timer for them to start went off it seemed that round 2 began as the both ran towards each other but this time Scorpion starting things off by preforming his sliding kick breezing through Liu Kang s legs knocking him forward in the air & with great speed Scorpion turn only to catch Liu in his Leg Scissor Takedown fixing Liu s position by placing his left leg over his waist area & using his right leg to raise Liu s feet up slamming him on the ground with a large thud noise sounding off from it. Scorpion then immediately drew one of his swords from his back while holding Liu down with his legs & proceeded to lunge the tip towards Liu s face to try & stab it him but luckily Liu caught it by clamping his hands together using his palms to halt the blade. Scorpion then trying to push all he had into it going down but Liu was also doing the same for it to go up until he gathered enough strength to divert the blade away from his face & quickly jabbing a nerve on Scorpion s wrist in order from his to realize the sword dropping it & the gave him a quick back hand knuckle jab to the face which also broke the scissor hold rolling away from Liu. Once both fighters stood up Liu Kang then changed his stance to that of a Jeet Kune Do style with him hopping on both legs as if taking turns with each one looking furious as well.

Scorpion just maintained his stance while thinking of a way to attack him without the same results happening again but wasn t allowed enough time as Liu Kang preformed his Butterfly Cart Wheel Kick on Scorpion only to be blocked & Scorpion lashing back out by swinging out his other sword knocking Liu backwards while dragging his face on the ground along with a slash on his leg that burned from the cut that was heated by the flames that had burst from it. A s Liu stood up Scorpion ran up towards him and quickly preforms his Flaming Back Flip Kick in which he successfully catches Liu off guard and is flipped back from being hit by fiery kicks to the chin, But as he flipped back he did son to land on his feet so that when Scorpion landed he was soon met with a Flying dragon kick to his face making him fall back into the air. However Scorpion used this momentum to teleport while falling back into which he reappeared behind Liu Kang and struck him with a horse stance punch to the back causing Liu to fall forwards once again.
Scorpion: Now you shall burn just as your friend & master did AAHH! Scorpion shouted as he summoned Hellfire underneath Liu which burned him all over but due to him poisoned by RAGE all it did was burn his body for 10 seconds & the flames the disappeared to.

Scorpion:"What!, Wh . . .wha . . .t . . .sorcery is this? He asked as that attacked should have killed him right then and there."

Liu Kang: You do not seem to fully comprehend ninja, When in rage all of your abilities are strengthen, So your moves aren't exactly up for the challenge Scorpion! He shouted as he rushed towards him Scorpion then with quick speed slashed out one of his swords to perform an Hapkido slash to Liu in order to decapitate him but then to his surprise as Liu quickly ducked under the slash followed up with one of his strongest attacks, He first started with an uppercut that left Scorpion s bottom jaw crunching in pain which also launched him high into the air, As Scorpion was coming back down though then Liu put all he had into this one leg and did a raise kick to connect with Scorpion s Jaw once again this time breaking a part of his mask now only showing his bottom of his jaw cracked in which also sent him into the air once again and as Liu went to perform his Bicycle Kick Scorpion teleported once again but this time after being a victim of it for to many times he knew what to do.

Liu Kang: " Ohh no you don't"Liu said to himself as he lid his hand to a fiery yellow & red.

And as soon as Scorpion struck from behind he then became stuck for a time as Liu Kang appeared behind him and double forearmed him on his back causing Scorpion to crash forward to the ground. He had forgotten all about that technique and normally Scorpion would learn quickly not to make the same mistake twice but being that the attack alone enraged him enough that with his mind filled with RAGE he couldn t think straight anymore and then got up slowly and just teleported again in which Liu Kang took advantage of and lid his hands on fire once again and wit the same results as before Scorpion attacked with a kick from behind to Liu Kang s head but only for Liu Kang to burst in flames and reappear behind him this time double fisting Scorpion on top of his head sending him crashing to the ground. Scorpion got up and teleported again & once again was parried and struck down, And then again, And again and again until finally Scorpion got up and decided to just rush Liu Kang with both his swords swing them uncontrollably and imprecise to which Liu felt was not Scorpion s usual plan of attack especially when he wants to kill to which Liu took advantage and blocked one of swords by grabbing the hand the sword was in and with his other leg Liu kicked the 2nd sword Scorpion had out of his hand causing it to fly somewhere then Liu finally shoves his elbow right into Scorpion s collar bone causing him to drop the sword in hand and Liu finally finished with a back spin kick to Scorpion s chin sending him back crashing onto the ground.

Liu Kang:" It s over Scorpion you have lost, Stay down Liu said with a viscous voice. "

Scorpion: " I will . . . .NEVER! He shouted as he stood up groggy as the ran towards Liu Kang in which Liu decided he was going to end this now. "

Liu Kang:" If I must end you now then so be it! " Liu said and this time without meditation like last time with his friend Kung Lao Liu Kang preformed his Dragon s Tail Cart Wheel Kick on Scorpion causing him to arch his head down and Liu looked right into his dead with eyes before finishing with an uppercut that sended Scorpion very high until at least 20 seconds later Scorpion came crashing down on to the field with a massive impact along with a crack. Liu Kang has once again preformed his Butterfly Flip in order to end a fight as now Scorpion was down and unresponsive for now which meant Liu had won there duel.
WINNER: Liu Kang

Liu Kang: " That should keep you down, May the elder gods bind you forever in the NeatherRealm Ninja. "

But surprisingly Scorpion s body began to twitch as yellow aura started to emerge more and more from his whole being.

Scorpion: " Ahh . . AHh . . . .AAAARRRRGGGUHHH! " yelled as he rose up quickly and seemed to have healed all injuries done to him during there fight.

The Rage burned in his eyes glowing brighter than ever, could it be that the RAGE cured him and is only using him as a pawn puppet?, It didn t matter because now Liu Kang whom already was angry with Rage was also exploding with more Rage around him & in his eyes because he could even begin to think how Scorpion survived all he had given. This time Liu Kang with his new found Rage swore to kill him.

Scorpion: " YOU MAY HAVE THOUGH THAT YOU HAVE DEFEATED ME BUT YOU WERE INNCORECT, YOU NOR ANYONE ELSE CAN FOR I M ALREADY DEAD! " He shouted as all Liu did was grunted but then since both were inly 5ft away from each other there Rage aura s were attracted to one another and little did they know that Rage had formed a circle around them on the ground until it was to late.

Liu Kang: " Wait . . .what is this! "

Scorpion: " More Shaolin Sorcery! " He shouted as the Rage from underneath exploded upwards taking both there forms and in a big bang of bright light that covered the Wu Shi Academy all that was left was smoke and debris from the blast and when the space cleared & the dust had settled none were there.

It s as if they both vanished without a trace, They were gone but the question is where could they have gone? And could the Rage have done this?
