The man didn't see she was awake until he looked at her face. Then he saw her.
"Hello, ma'am," he said. "I'm Doctor Frazier, and I'm bounding up your leg. You damaged it pretty badly in your fight with Kuai."
Kalypso closed her eyes as he finished bandaging her leg. Then he set down the rest of the bandages he'd been holding. "I'm off to see another patient, so call if you need me!"
He left the room to see another patient, and left the door open.
A few minutes later, a group of people came rushing in. They were yelling and running towards Kalypso. There were masses of them, and Kalypso was too weak to count them all.
They were bombarding Kalypso with questions, and Kalypso couldn't answer half of them.
Then a voice came from outside, "Everyone out!"
Everyone turned on their heels and left, with sad faces on.
A boy walked inside, after everyone left. He looked about 23ish, not much older than that though.
"Hey," he said. "My name's Snow; call me that, if you will."
Kalypso nodded her head in little increments. The boy had icy blonde hair, a blue shirt, black pants, and what was presumably a mask around his neck. Kalypso smiled and nodded. "Kalypso, how ya doin?"
Snow laughed. "We're gonna be such good friends."
"I hope so," Kalypso said. "Help me up."
Snow shook his head. "You can't leave, not yet."
Kalypso shook her head. "Then leave. If you won't help me, get out."
Snow raised his hands in defense. "OK, Boss Lady. I'll get out of the way."
Snow exited the room, closing the door behind him.
Kalypso ripped off her bandages and sat up, and placed her hand on her leg. It glowed with a blue light as she healed herself.
Kalypso walked through the Lin Kuei camp, seeing about seven people walking around. All of them were males, all in the blue uniform; and all of them looked at her. And of course they would; she stuck out like a sore thumb.
She walked towards the Lin Kuei Temple, running up to the door, and, looking around, opened the door and walked in.
She looked up, seeing Kuai Liang speaking to someone. He hadn't yet noticed her, great. She quickly ran behind a pillar, and thought, "What should I wear?"
She envisioned a silver dress consisting of a tube top and a veil in the back. She clapped her hands closed, and opened them again, and her clothes began to change.
When she opened her eyes, her dress had formed. She twirled, and decided to go on and walk up the stairs.
As she walked up the stairs, her heels clicked on the ground, and she saw the man and Kuai turn to face her. The man was Scorpion!
Kuai's smile was imminent as she walked up the stairs. Soon she was standing beside Hanzo.
"Hey, Kuai," she said, "I need to speak to you."
Kuai Liang nodded. "And you shall, but I am currently talking to Hanzo Hasashi." Sub-Zero's grin widened. "You will just have to wait."
"Well where am I supposed to do that, Sub-Zero?"
He tried to hide his grin, but it was obvious he was basically laughing. "There is a room, two doors on the right, there are people waiting in there."
Kalypso just looked at him. "Fuck. That." And she turned around and walked back out.
"...and then he told me to wait. Excuse me, but I need to know where the hell I'm supposed to be at right now," Kalypso said.
Snow laughed. "Kalypso, Kuai is gonna kill you for that."
Kalypso shook her head. "Not if I kill him first."
She'd changed into a sparkling blue dress, with silver belts at the waist, and silver heels, as well as silver rings in her hair. Then she had straps running up her legs, making her a dazzling blue star.
Kalypso was in the food hall with everyone else. The food hall had rectangular tables, three on each side of the room, with a walkway in between them on every side. The walkways were blue, and the floor was silver. On the ceiling there were chandeliers that glowed the most random color; icy blue. They cast flickering blue lights across the room. Walking up the walkway, there was a stage, with a throne, where the Grandmaster stood. There were 6 tables; the tables were white and blue: blue for males, white for females. There were tables with males, and girls at other tables. Several people caught Kalypso's eyes. There was a male who wore a blue shirt that was in a V-shape, with a loincloth dropping in front, as well as black pants, and a simple blue mask, but had really dark brown hair, and icy blue eyes. Then there was a male that wore a blue over shirt with black underneath it, with a silver and black belt with a large buckle, but he had no mask on, like many of the people here. He had really dark drown hair, and occasional wisps of silver in it. Kalypso knew she should probably go sit with the girls, but there was no open seat. Oh well.
Everyone kept throwing her nasty stares. She wondered why. Once again, oh well. Some guys stared at her assets, some at her wardrobe, but no matter where she went, catcalls followed.
"Can I get some fries with that shake?"
"Swiggity Swooty, I'm coming for that booty!"
Kalypso ignored them, and dug into her rice.
Soon, everyone rose from their seats, and stood straight up. Kalypso saw this, and did the same.
She saw why. Kuai Liang had walked in, and he was wearing a new outfit that usual. He walked up the aforementioned walkway, up to the stage, and sat on his throne. He rose his hands, and they filled with ice, and the ice blasted across the tables, freezing all the food, then he closed both hands, and the food shattered, disappearing.
"Hello, my fellow Lin Kuei Clan of Assassins." Kuai Liang said. "It is my honor to be able to introduce you to yet another evening of peace. We have come one step closer to reaching peace with the White Lotus Faction, by consulting with its leaders, Raiden and Bo Rai Cho."
Everyone began to clap, some even excitedly murmuring amongst themselves.
Kuai Liang raised his hands, and the murmuring stopped at once.
"Now, as I'm sure you're all aware, one of our own has passed." Kuai Liang's voice got heavy. "Flare has gone to be judged by the Elder Gods, he will be surely missed." But we must go on, and now that my third Clanmaster has died, I will need another. Elections for this position will begin in a fortnight. Elections will call for whom you want to be in the running, and then for who will win."
Kalypso could hear some people murmuring among the groups. Flare was obviously who was missing from this table.
"But, the Lin Kuei's influence has reached farther than we know. We have a new warrior who has joined the Lin Kuei; the Warrior Kalypso. Come forward."
Kalypso almost shivered at her name being called. She of course stepped out from the table, and toward Kuai.
When she reached the stage, she stepped up, and felt Kuai's hand on her shoulder. He turned her around to face the crowd.
"This warrior has come to us in her need for guidance, and I cannot turn her down. Now, is anyone willing to allow her to sleep in her corridor?"
There were a couple of murmurs, and a lot of talking amongst each other, and eventually; "There is no room."
Kuai Liang nodded. "Then, I turn to you, men. I must ask... Tempest, my second Clanmaster?"
The boy with the large buckle stepped onto the walkway. He looked at Kalypso, then to Kuai Liang. "Yes Grandmaster?"
"Would you be so kind as to allow Kalypso to live with your and your roommate?" Kuai removed his hand from Kalypso's shoulder, and Kalypso was appalled to see there were ice crystals on her shoulder. "As my Clanmaster, I trust you the most to lead our young one to victory."
Tempest looked like he'd rather deck her in the trashcan, but he bowed and said, "Yes, Grandmaster."
"But first," Kuai said, "we must begin the Truth Ceremony."
Everyone began to snicker, and Kalypso felt out of place. She saw a blue box with two orbs on it, on top of a table, with a big orb on a pedestal beside them. The orb was blue, with smoke swirling around inside all three of the orbs. Kuai sat down in the seat opposite the one with the two orbs.
"Come, sit." Sub-Zero said.
Kalypso smoothed out her dress and sat down. Kuai gestured for her to put her hands on the orbs, which she did. Unsurprisingly, they were cold.
"Let's start out slow," Sub-Zero said, his voice echoing across the room. "What is your full name?"
Kalypso took a breath. "It's very long, you sure?"
Kuai looked to the last orb; she didn't know why; it was still blue.
"Yes, tell us the entirety of it."
"Well, Kalypso-Khristella Renaldi Layla di Konstellata." She smirked. "Or Kalypso for short."
A couple of chuckles emerged from the crowd.
"Okay, next... On a scale of 1 to 10, how attractive do you find me?" Kuai grinned.
She looked at him, sweat starting to form. "Well, if you mean, would I date you, I'd say 3."
"Just in general, Kalypso."
She though for a second. "Well, I guess 7."
Sub-Zero nodded and said, "How old are you?"
"17...ish."
The orb turned a weird shade of blueish red. Kuai noticed it.
"I'll ask again; How old are you, Kalypso?"
"Umm... I think I'm seventeen." Kalypso said. The orb turned back to its original blue.
Kuai's eyebrow raised. "Next... What is your favorite color?"
"I have multiple."
"Well, what are they?"
Kalypso thought for a second. "Gold, silver, blue, black, and white."
Kuai asked her another, "Are you currently a virgin?"
"Do you seriously have to ask that?" Kalypso just stared at him. "I don't see why that matters."
The blue orb stayed blue, but the orbs Kalypso had been holding started turning red.
Kuai stared at her. "Answer the question."
Kalypso just stared at him. "I see no real point in answering."
"Then I'll go with a no."
"I am, fine!" Kalypso yelled out at him. Her eyes dilated, she was so embarrassed.
Kuai looked at the orb. It stayed blue.
There were quite a few snickers from the crowd. Kalypso was glad she didn't have apricot skin; she'd be blushing hard.
"Next questions will be harder to answer, but answer truthfully. Now... Have you ever killed someone?"
"No." Kalypso said. The orb turned a violent shade of red.
Kuai looked at it, then at her. "Who did you kill?"
"No one!" Kalypso yelled. "I never took someone's life!"
The orb turned back blue.
Kuai turned back to her. "Did you cause or were influential in anyone's death?"
"Um... Yes."
"Elaborate."
Kalypso took a huge gulp of air. "When I was younger... There was a woman. She was with me, helping me to my house. Someone was after us. Then, the man came up, and he threw her on the ground. And I was helpless to save her!" A tear fell from Kalypso's eye. "I wanted to help her, but I ran away. I tried to help. I was scared. I let her die."
A tear dripped on the table. "I was useless."
The crowd was completely silent. Kuai had a sympathetic expression on his face. She straightened herself up, and looked him straight in the eye.
"Okay, next is... Have you ever seen a man naked?"
"Oh yes," Kalypso said.
"How many times?"
"About six." Kalypso thought. And then she realized how bad that sounded. "Remember that this is throughout the entire span of my life, so..."
"Okay, do you know who Bi-Han is?"
"Oh yeah, he was... Oh." Kalypso fell short. "He's your brother."
"Next question... If someone hit you, would you hit them back?"
"Oh yeah, if Sally pushes me on the playground, I'm gonna push her into a ditch."
This elicited several laughs from the crowd. Kuai silenced them.
"Now... What is your biggest secret?"
"Then what's the point of having secrets if I have to tell you guys?" Kalypso asked.
The orbs her hands were on turned red again. "We have no secrets," Kuai said. "We abandon them, and become one family."
"Well, uh... This is kind of embarrassing..." Kalypso said.
"Go on, Kalypso." Kuai watched her from behind his hair.
"Well... I, umm... I once..." She refused to tell the world. "Come on mother, please..."
"I once stole money from a bank." Kalypso said.
Kuai looked at the orb, then back at her. "How much?"
"About 10,000. But only because my mother left a will, and I could only claim the money when I turned 21, so I took a tiny bit out. I didn't rob them, just used my... Connections who worked there to get it for me."
"How much money did your mother leave for you?" Kuai asked.
"I don't know, but there are a whole bunch of zeros after it." Kalypso said.
Kuai stared at her. "Last question; Why do you want to join the Lin Kuei?"
"Honestly?" Kalypso asked.
"Truthfully."
"Well, I'm hoping to find a place where I can be allowed to be myself, and improve my abilities, but... I also want to be somewhere where I can escape my past, and focus only on my future. I want to live in a place where people can just accept me for, well, me."
Kuai looked at her. "I believe you."
Kalypso scoffed. "Oh, the blue orb is blue, but you believe me. Okay."
Sub-Zero stood up, and said, "Cheers for Kalypso!"
The room exploded into cheers... All except for a particular group of girls at the table to Kalypso's left. They consisted of a girl with icy blue hair, a girl with black hair, a girl with pink hair, and a girl with rainbow colored hair. They all just stared at her.
"Very well. Everyone, report to your rooms!" Kuai Liang said. "And Tempest, show Kalypso to her new room." With that, Kuai left the stage.
The blue-clad ninja nodded, and walked up to her. "Come on."
He waited until everyone left the room, then began to leave. Kalypso followed him.
The Lin Kuei had built one huge building, in which individual "squares" lived. In those squares multiple groups lived. Kalypso shared her square with two other groups. The interior of the square is focused around a large central hallway serving as the main avenue of traffic and entrance area to the adjacent rooms. The hallway flows into a large, wide staircase that provides the main means of egress from the entertainment area of the floor to the private rooms on the second floor. Four formal rooms with sixteen foot ceilings, pocket doors, fireplaces and tall windows form the main block of the building. Kalypso was used to expensive houses, but this was amazing. On the first floor, the hallway and front parlor retain the original wallpaper from 1882 with classic Anglo-Japanese asymmetrical designs and exotic motifs. The other rooms have been redecorated to approximate the original wallpaper and paint colors of blue and white.
"Hello, my name is Shadow," the black-clad ninja said to her. "I live here too. Being a girl, I'm gonna move my stuff and let you sleep on your own side of the room. That way, you can have your own bed, and your own side to put your clothes if you got any, and so you can have your own shower. It would be weird for you to have to take a shower it a guy, right, Tempest?"
Tempest had been undressing, so he turned around, exposing his chest. "Uh yeah, sure. Girl power." He turned back around.
"Well, what are your power sources?" Kalypso asked, sitting on the bed Shadow offered her.
"Shadow... Does that not ring a bell? If not, mine is of darkness. Tempest?"
Tempest turned back around, he was almost completely naked, except for his boxers. "Wind. Air. Cyclones. Whatever you like, so long as it's air. Fujin is my father, deal with it. What's your power source, heh?"
"Oh, I control the entire spectrum," Kalypso said. "I can use anything."
Tempest turned back around. "What?"
Kalypso smiled. "Yes, I can control any element. Water, fire, earth, air, light, metal, lava... Name it, and I've used it to survive."
Shadow simply stared. "Wait... What!?"
"Pay attention; my mother passed on to me the ability to control everything."
"Oh my..." Tempest said. Then he looked at Shadow, then back at Kalypso.
"What's wrong?" Kalypso asked.
"Well... The person who you're replacing? He had the same powers," Shadow said. "He chose to develop Fire as his chosen power, hence the name, Flare. Then, one week, his powers started acting real weird. It triggered a bunch of elements when they got close to him, especially if he was mad or scared. It was what killed him, on his journey to control it." Shadow shook his head. "It was very sad, he was murdered by the very thing which made him strong."
"How old was he?" Kalypso asked. She wet through a similar phase, but she had to ask.
"He was 16."
"Of course; he went through the Changing." Kalypso replied. "I feel for him..."
"The Changing?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah. When you turn 16, your powers start to get away from you, they start to become more sensitive to everything. Like, if you had your hands at your sides, and you rose them really fast, a part of the ground might come up. But I wasn't around people when that happened, so it didn't matter. I actually enjoyed it. I felt so powerful! But, being 17, I've already been through that."
Shadow turned around and said, "Oh my gosh."
"Well, I guess that you had better chosen a power source to develop, because you can't expand on all of em." Tempest replied.
"Oh, no matter," Kalypso said. "I'll just do, uh, let's see... Water."
"How'd you settle on that?" Tempest asked.
"Well, I did Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Water was first, Fire second, Earth third, and Air fourth. Water won."
Shadow and Tempest brushed it off as nothing, then said, "Okay, well, I guess when you go for training, you tell them that?"
Kalypso smiled. "Well that'll be all fun, right?"
***Seven months later***
"And as yet another year ends, I give utmost thanks to you, Elder Gods, for blessing the Lin Kuei with yet another year of growth and strength," Kuai Liang said.
Kalypso bowed to the statue before her. She had much to be thankful for. She'd found a home in the Lin Kuei, she'd developed her powers to the point of almost invincibility, and she had risen up in power; she'd won the election for Clanmaster. There were 8 Clanmasters, as Kalypso learned. How the Lin Kuei ran was;
Trainees, who are in training, Warriors, who serve the Clan, Assassins, who actually go out on missions to do things, Clanmasters, who oversee the above and take part in Clan discussions, and Highmasters, who acted as the Grandmaster's chief advisors and deputies. His Highmasters were Frost, Blaze, and Shimmer.
She had adopted a mask, really light blue, with black claw marks on the edges. No one remembered what she looked like anymore. Kalypso even picked up a codename; Torrent. She would also answer to Katastrophe, if you were a close friend of hers. Many people even forgot her name, and used only Torrent to refer to her.
"And so, Elder Gods, we thank you. Amen." Kuai Liang said.
Kalypso stood with everyone, and walked into the Lin Kuei Temple.
"Hello. I welcome you all to our 25th annual Kage," Kuai Liang said. "Today, in the 1st Day of January, I will allow 12 of my best fighters to battle each other for the chance to win this." Kuai Liang held up a silver medallion. "And when you finish beating them, only one more challenge awaits... Me. Then, you will face your final opponent. But remember, after making the top 2, you must defeat your final opponent to go on. This medallion shall represent strength, discipline, power, and diligence. To win it, you must showcase all four. Now, I would welcome Kotal Kahn of Outworld, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage of Earthrealm, and all of our other attendants."
Kuai had made an arena he had hidden to everyone, made to look exactly like the Kolluseum, and invited all of the world leaders to attend. He would showcase 12 fighters to come fight each other, and try to win the medallion. Torrent, Frost, Terra, Shadow, Tempest, Snow, Shimmer, Blaze, Tundra, Glacier, Storm, and Lightning all were competing for the medallion. "Our first fight will be... Tundra, and Shimmer!"
A boy with white ensemble and blonde hair steps up, and faces a male with blue clothing and a mask.
They fight. The battle is intense and fierce, as Tundra has a clear advantage with his training and powers, forcing Shimmer to use every trick at his disposal to keep in the fight. Through sheer determination, Shimmer manages to defeat the iceman.
"And Shimmer takes the fight, kicking Tundra to the curb." Kuai said. Two Lin Kuei members came and picked Shimmer and Tundra up, and took them out to get help.
"Next will be... Storm and Frost!" The icy blue haired girl and a girl with a black hood, clothing and mask on come.
They fight. Storm's telekinesis finds an equal match in Frost's freezing process, resulting in a brutal display of magic and sorcery. But in the end, Frost prevails against the sorceress.
"Next. Blaze and Snow!"
They fight. The battle is even more visceral and bloody than when Frost fought Storm. Unprepared for the increased power of the boy's ice attacks, the flame specter finds himself at the disadvantage and Snow mercilessly presses the attack. After a hard fought battle, Snow finally knocks Blaze to the floor.
"Next, Torrent and Shadow!"
They fight. The man is unlike anything Kalypso has faced before, with his ability to conjure both dark magic and shadow clones of himself to fight with. Nonetheless, Kalypso's fighting ability and mastery of the Oceanic arts sees her through the fight, and eventually she leaves the sorcerer down on the floor.
"Now, Lightning and Terra!"
They fight. As powerful as Terra is, she is little match for Lightning and his super speedy projectiles. After a brief battle, Lightning soon has Terra knocked out on the floor.
"And lastly, Tempest and Glacier!
They fight. As brutal a fighter as Glacier is, Tempest manages to take advantage of his lack of discipline to take the fight to him. He soon leaves the snowman down for the count.
"Now we have finished normal pools," Kuai said. "Now, only true combat remains."
Kalypso was in the caged-off room underneath the seats, where Tempest said, "Oh, because the first battles were such a breeze."
"Now, out of Top 3 Pools, we have Tundra and Shimmer!"
They fight. Even though he's just fought an intense battle with Tundra, a ice bearer, Shimmer shows he still has the stamina to take on Snow. After another hard fought exchange, Shimmer manages to emerge victorious.
"Amazing! Now... Torrent and Lightning!"
They fight. Showing her tenacity and taking advantage of Lightning's reluctance to fight, Kalypso aggressively takes it to the Child of Thunder and knocks him down.
"Now, finally, we have Frost and Tempest!"
"I will kill you for taking out my friend," Frost said to Tempest.
"Love to see it, hun."
They fight. Tempest's powers prove more of a match for Frost that Storm did, but even he cannot withstand the fury of the vengeful ninja. Frost once again emerges victorious and leaves Tempest unconscious on the ground.
"No!" Kalypso screamed. She couldn't believe it.
"Finally, we have our top 3. Now, they will do battle against me, and whomever does not defeat me, or defeat me the quickest, looses." Now, first up is... Torrent!"
Kalypso waved behind her in the caged off room, and walked out to see Sub-Zero. He was dressed in his normal garb.
"Now!" Shadow had taken over voicing. "Fight!"
They fight. Sub-Zero is an expert fighter in the Shaolin arts, but the powers of a demigod could prove too much to cope with for Sub-Zero. They trade blow for blow, and go toe to toe for the win, Kuai obviously having the upper hand. But, Kalypso finds an opening, and, soon beats him into the ground.
"And Kalypso may have the win here, given that the other two initiates either do not beat him or beat him faster than she!"
Kalypso went to go sit down, in the cage.
"Ooh, a good one, Frost versus Sub-Zero! Ice match!"
They fight. The battle is truly an epic one, with both kombatants equally matched in strength and fighting skill. In the end, Sub-Zero's power gets the better of Frost, and she is beaten into submission.
"Oh no, Frost has lost! Punny, but now, unless Shimmer looses worse than she does, she will be out of the competition! And with that... Shimmer!"
They fight. Sub-Zero is forced to defend himself against Shimmer's furious assault. Fueled by desperation, both kombatants fight with all of their strength, and it is an even match due to the previous fights weakening Sub-Zero's powers. However, Kuai manages to get an advantage and he knocks Shimmer to the floor.
"Ooh! Well, I think we know who has truly won... Frost!"
Frost walked up to Kalypso. "Let's go. I'll have that medallion around my chest, weakling."
"You wish."
"Fight!"
They fight. The battle is truly epic, possibly the most epic and evenly matched, with neither the powerful Torrent or Frost getting any clear advantage for the majority of it. Frost comes for Kalypso brutally, showing strength and determination, but Kalypso always evades and tries to come in with her own hits. For what seems like an age, the two girls duke it out with everything they have, but eventually the Water Queen prevails and knocks Frost to the floor. As she struggles to her feet and tries to charge again, Kalypso blasts her once more with shimmering water.
Frost falls, and cannot get back up.
"I think our winner is obvious... After an obviously skilled and equal battle, Torrent takes it to her, and defeats the Snow Queen! Give it up for the 25th Annual Kage Master!"
The crowd jumped up and roared with applause, giving her a standing ovation. Kalypso almost falls to the floor, buts stays conscious enough to see Kuai Liang walk up to her and place the medallion around her neck. "Fantastic job, Kalypso."
"Well, time to hit the showers, I'll go first, and whoever wants will go next." Kuai Liang said. He walked into the shower room, and closed the door behind him.
Everyone else waited for a while before he came out. By the time that the audience had left, so had everyone else. Eventually Kalypso was the last one..
She was feeling tired, yet restless. So... She did the unthinkable.
She opened the door.
When she walked in, Kuai had his eyes closed, rubbing himself down with soap. Just staring Ade Kalypso's mouth water. His muscles were so delectable.
She began to undress, having an out of body experience, Mileena said; she could feel herself doing it, but she wasn't doing it herself.
When she was fully undressed, she walked over to the shower, stepping inside. The soap bubbles covered most of his body, so thank goodness; but she grabbed some more soap and rubbed herself down until she was just as covered.
When Kuai opened his eyes, he nearly jumped away. He looked at her, then at the door, then back to the door. "How did you get here?"
"Walked in," Kalypso said. She grabbed his arm and began running the scrubbing pad over it. "I was worried. And, everyone else left, so I decided to save water and join you."
Kuai simply stared at her. Then he smirked and turned around. "You wouldn't mind cleaning my back and my legs for me, would you, Kalypso?"
She smiled. "With pleasure." She got to work, scrubbing his back, feeling on every available curve. He had put his hands on the shower wall, and was practically presenting his ass to her, so she cleaned it down, and groped it a number of times. Finally, at his legs, she rubbed them down and cleaned them off. Unfortunately, with as many bubbles as there were, she only felt those parts, never really saw them.
She took off her mask, as it was rather bothersome at this point. Kuai turned back around, and thanked her. And, bubbles and all, he stepped out of the shower, and out of the bathroom ***
"Once again, let's give a great amount of cheer for our Kage Master!" Shadow said as they enjoyed the banquet thrown in Kalypso's honor. She was loved by so many, but Frost kept giving her a dangerous look.
She smiled as Tempest rose his glass to her with a smile. Scorpion was getting ready to leave.
She ran after him, following him out of the Temple. "Hey!" she called. Scorpion turned around. "Can I talk to you?"
"Yes, Earthrealm seems to still be fine," Scorpion said. "Do not worry, it will-"
A blast of ice at Kalypso's feet startled them both. Kalypso and Scorpion jumped away.
"Traitor!" Frost screamed. She ran at Kalypso with all her might and strength. Still being tired, Kalypso was at a disadvantage. She still fought like an angel in hell, though. Frost created ice claws to form on her fingers, and murmured some curse under her breath. Then she lunged at Kalypso, catching her off guard, but Kalypso reached out with her hand, a blast of energy in it. Frost's swipe caught Kalypso right in the left eye, and Kalypso's blast sent Frost flying.
The excruciating pain that followed the scratch was unbearable. Kalypso screamed loudly, holding her eye with her hand. Kalypso could feel her tears mingling with her blood, and she began to sob and cry. How much damage Frost had done, she didn't know.
"What happened?" Sub-Zero called. He was running towards them, with a big bunch of the audience from the battle following him.
Kuai ran to Kalypso's side, sitting down beside her. "Kalypso, what happened?"
She fell short of breath, but simply pointed at Frost. "She... Happened."
When Kalypso woke up, that Doctor Frazier was on her eyes again. She opened her right eye, and could see him putting the glowing snow on the left. He saw the alertness in her other eye, and smiled nervously. "Dr. Frazier again."
Kalypso was scared to ask her next question, but she plunged ahead: "How bad?"
Dr. Frazier looked at her. "There actually is no damage to your eye. You can see, it's perfectly fine, you can see out of it. However... It turned white."
"That's not that bad," Kalypso said with a smile. "With the curse she uttered, I thought I'd be blind."
"You're not, so, good that." Dr. Frazier. "Because there is still a problem."
Oh shit. "What?"
"It didn't mess up your eyes at all; but your eye socket is... horribly damaged." Dr. Frazier replied. "Frost destroyed the area outside of your eye. And it won't go away. I've tried placing skin over it; burns off. Tried the best snow we have; doesn't work."
"Let me see." Kalypso asked fearfully. He handed her a mirror, and she took off her snow.
What she saw scared her. Her eye was white, but the area around it was slightly red, and there were two scars running down her eye.
"No... No!" Kalypso dropped the mirror, but it felt out of place. "NOO! My eye!" She began crying again, feeling tears roll down both eyes. No man could ever consider her beautiful.
"Calm down, it's perfectly-"
She never heard his next words. She fled.
