Chapter 4: Cathyerina vs. Ruby

Cathyerina was the youngest member of Black Dragon. She lost her parents at an early age and lived with her brother. One day her brother left for Edenia and Cathyerina was left in the care of Kano. He personally taught her everything she knows as well self taught her own moves. She was said to have been romantically linked with Kabal but was later relinquished after her death. The sorcerer Shang Tsung had resurrected her and she traveled back to Earthrealm. When she returned to the Black Dragon, she found herself drawn to Jarek and swore to fight and stay by his side.

Despite her hatred for Kabal, she had no choice but to follow his orders by splitting up and searching for Mavado Hsu Hao. During her search, she and Jarek got separated so she turned back and search for him. She had finally reached a room and entered it. The door closed behind her and eight Red Dragon members charged towards her. She took out her weapons prepared for the first two that came at her. She dodged their attacks and slashed them across the chest with her daggers. Two more pressed on the attack but she stabbed one of them in between the eyes and the other one in the throat. She ran towards the last four and jumped on one of them. She snapped his neck using her thighs to twist it. The next one, she hopped on him and snapped his neck also. She noticed the last two were running away and she threw her daggers into the back of their heads. After the two Red Dragon members died, she reached for her daggers and pulled them out form the back of their heads.

Jarek had caught up with her and clapped his hands.

"Impressive Cathy" he said

She walked over to him and caressed his cheek "Thank you!"

Before they could enjoy Cathyerina's victory daggers were flying towards them. One of them hit Jarek in the arm which caused him to drop to his knees. Cathy rushed over to his side and pulled the dagger out.

"Whoever did this, come out now!" she demanded.

The woman laughed "Very well, you asked for it."

The woman was revealed to be the Red Dragon member Ruby. Like Cathy, her origins go back to her parents dying during the Earthrealm war as well. She was picked up by Daegon and was spent the next 25 years becoming a member of the Red Dragon. She was said to be one of the most deadly members the clan had to offer.

Cathyerina got into her stance and waited for Ruby to attack her. Ruby responded with more daggers. Cathyerina dodged them and continued on with her attack against Ruby. She tossed one of her daggers at Ruby. Unlike her Red Dragon rival, she actually hit her target. The dagger stabbed into Ruby arm causing her to scream in pain. Cathy reached her and started to punch her. Ruby did her best to defend herself but with her bad arm, she wasn't faring well. Cathy grabbed her wounded arm and ripped it off. Ruby stumbled back in pain but Cathy just kept pursuing her. She reached for her other arm and pulled it off. Then with her daggers, she stabbed one in Ruby's throat and the other in her head.

After Ruby's death, she recovered her daggers and went to go check on Jarek. Jarek arm was still oozing blood out. Cathyerina cut a peace of his shirt off and wrapped it around his arm in order to stop the bleeding.

"Thank you Cathy" he said,

"I would do anything for you my love. Now we must keep moving."
