The Reptilian Appears! Kori V.S. Reptile (Part 2)
"Incoming Civilian. Suspect: Unknown." Read the main computer inside the base of the Special Forces.
"Rally up the troops. Rumor has it that Reptile's been sneaking around the nearby town." A man, decorated in many ribbons, informs the men and women inside the command room. The Commander pointed his finger at Sonya.
"Yes sir! We're on it." Sonya said.
Jax cracked his bionic knuckles against each other. "One Reptilian-Knuckle Sandwich, coming up."
"Commander!" One of the Sergeants poked his head from behind his monitor. "The Suspect is identified."
"Turn the main surveillance camera on." The camera turned on and focused on the figure.
"Sonya! Jax! I am in need of your assistance." The figure said.
Jax immediately replied back. "Yeah. What is it, Sub-Zero?" He could recognize his voice from anywhere.
"It's about Kori. I have a bad feeling that he ran into Reptile and disappeared with him."
"Alright; let him in." The huge doors opened. Sub-Zero was greeted by the various squads of armed soldiers.
"Meeeee?" He licked his lips. You can see the extended version of this creep's vicious teeth. "I onnnlllyy wannnttt yoooouuurrr heeeaadd!" Reptile launched himself at Kori once again.
Kori just stood there. "Sorry, but I think I'll pass your lovely offer." I got into my special counter-attack stance. My stance was simple; think of football game and how the players are set up before a play begins. In other words, it's basically squatting with your hands out, ready to hold anything back. Suddenly, I heard some twigs started snapping from behind me.
"Crap! Which way am I supposed to look?" I told myself. My eyes scattered everywhere; looking in like every direction without changing my stance. Must find out what's coming!
The tree from behind me lunged its branches towards my feet.
"Connnsiiidderrr youuurrselllfff… deeeaadd meeaatt!" The Reptilian spat out some white, liquid foam towards my chest.
"Fudge bars!" I had no choice but to jump out of the way. The liquid barely missed its target but did hit something else…
"You DARE try to disrupt the peace in this FOREST?" I turned around and saw one of the tree's branches on the ground. I gasped when it was dissolving away within a matter of seconds.
"ACID?"
"Whaaattss yoouurr poinnnttt? I caaannn dooo whatttevverr I wanntt. You'reee juuusstt a tree!" I believe he just signed his death sentence…
"HUMAN!" One of the trees pointed its branch at me.
"Y-yes…?" I retraced the branch with my eyes back to its origin.
"LEAVE! NOW! You do not belong here." I didn't ask questions followed its orders.
"Donnn'ttt yoouu DARREEE runnn frrroommm meee!"
Sub-Zero made his way to meet up with his former allies.
"Now; WHAT was this situation you're having?" The general told him as soon as they made eye contact.
"My son... no her son might have been taken Kori as a hostage."
"Who's this "her" you speak of?" Sonya had her hands on her hips.
"Kori's real mother." He admitted.
The room was silent for a good minute.
"So you told him everything?" Jax broke the golden silence. He nodded.
"I brought something that might help find his location." He pulled the legging from earlier out and handed it to Sonya. She turned around and gave it to a woman.
"Analyze this."
"Yes Ma'am!" The lady walked off with it to who knows where.
"Any idea on where you think they went?" The general said.
"I do not know for sure." The General raised his hand and was about to speak, but Sub-Zero continued. "But I have a strong feeling that they went to Outworld; the place where Reptile serves his Emperor as a loyal slave."
"He's right." Everyone looked back at the woman that took the legging. "Scanners show that he's currently in Outworld."
"Where in Outworld?"
"Currently in the Living Forest." Was her response. This brought chills up his spine. Is that even possible? I'll let you decide on that one.
"The Living Forest…?" His heart skipped a few beats. The General, Jax, and Sonya all stared at him like he went crazy.
"Unfortunately, yes."
"Sub-Zero." The General put his hand on the Lin Kuei Warrior's shoulder armor. "We'll find him. There is no need to worr-"Sub-Zero smacked his hand away. Le gasp!
"I don't need to worry? Are you insane!" The General flinched when he heard that. "Who are you to speak for me? If we don't find Kori soon, he's gonna be a Halloween decoration!"
"Sub-Zero, relax!" Sub-Zero looked at Sonya, who happens to have a dirty look on her face.
"Just take me to Outworld!"
She sighed. She knew that there was no other around this. "Alright then… Follow me, so we can fire this thing up." She started walking towards the steel-coated double doors. Sub-Zero proceeded behind her. She put the Pin key for the door to open. When she was finished, a lazar identifier came out and scanned her eye.
"Access: Granted."
When they got inside, the lights automatically turned on due to its sensors of activity being spotted in the room. The place was really dusty; must be like that because it hasn't been used in quite some time. The room was filled with many objects, such as Aircraft carriers, a bunch of computers, all running the same programs with subtle differences in each one, not to mention there was a huge ring against one of the walls across from us to our right. The ring was heavily guarded by Red Hot, Lazar-Pointed Sensors, Machine Guns, Bullet-Proof Glass, and finally, there was a Robot standing there. He wasn't dusty, as opposed to everything else in the entire place. This Robot looks awfully like Cyrax; yet it's not him.
"Well here we are." She walked towards the Ring and turned on the computer. The computer required her I.D. once again and so she repeated the steps from when she got in. "I hope you're prepared."
"A warrior is never unprepared."
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever." A strange machine came from the side of where the robot was (It was in the corner.) and rolled its way towards the middle of the computers, next to Sonya. "This thing needs to warm up."
Sub-Zero sighed.
"We'll handle our… dinner" The tree said. I thought that over and just barfed a little in my mouth, then ran.
"Dinnnneeerrrr?" Reptile leaped up waaaayyy up into the unusual purple sky. "I wonnnn'ttt beee dinnneerrr!" I heard them echo all over the forest.
I kept running. I don't know my way around these woods, but I tried mixing my pattern around by going different directions. The last I want is to be the next meal of the day.
There was a shadow hanging over the trees. I couldn't bring myself to look up to see if he was nearby or was gone. So I decided to slow down my pace. Bad choice… because I found myself panting like crazy. To make matters worse, remember when I got pushed down? That scrap I got, decides to hurt like hell right now!
"Oww!" I cried. My voice projected for a few feet away.
My body descended to the ground, face first and I'm still panting like a dog who's been dehydrated for a long time. I felt like I've ran for miles in like ten minutes, but in reality, it's been about five and a half. I semi-barrel rolled over to lie down on my back rather than be on my stomach.
"Did I… lose him?" My eyes acted like blinds and shut themselves for a few seconds.
"Yooooouu willlll nevvvvverrr losssee meee!" I shot my eyes open instantly and saw him closing in from the tree. I lifted up my body. But, as soon as I did, I was impaled by his claws in the chest.
"Gyah!" Blood flew out from the spear-formed hand. I also felt some blood rushing up my throat. Reptile twisted his claws deeper into my chest, causing that blood to be vomited violently all over my clothes and on him.
"Loookkkss liiikkeee yooouuu donnn'tt geett a secooonndd channcee at liffee!" His tongue sprang out and wrapped itself around my neck.
"Okay, let's fire up this bad boy." Sonya turned on the machine. It's been like three minutes at the most since the machine started warming up.
"Why didn't you just operate the portal through the ring?"
Sonya looked back at him. "Do you want the long version or short version of the story?"
"Short."
"The Portal uses a huge amount of energy to begin with." She began. "Recently, a few years after Armageddon, it started acting all haywire on us. The ring itself won't work with us for some reason, so now we have to rely on this piece of scrap metal." She took a deep breath since she said that all in one breath.
"I see."
"Are you ready?" The machine started charging up a golden lazar. He nodded. "Alrighty." The lazar shot directly in the middle of the ring. The lazar stretched all over the front of the ring, creating the portal to Outworld. "The rest is up to you."
"Right." He proceeded towards the portal, but she stopped him before he got any farther from the machine.
"You'll need this." She handed out a communicator. "So you can call us to get you two back here in one piece."
"Thank you, Sonya." He bowed. "I apologize for my behavior." He's really polite, believe it or not.
"Eh, don't need it. You have your reasons. I can't blame yah." She smiled. "Go now."
"Heh." He went inside the portal.
"Annyyy lasssttt wooorrddss?" He lifted my body up with the same claw in my chest. Blood just kept pouring and I started having breathing problems now.
"You… won't… get away!" I coughed out more blood when emphasizing those last two words.
Just then, I felt some familiar flow of power coming from inside my body. I couldn't speak or say anything; I only was able to look around and saw the twin auras swirling around each other, coming towards my almost-lifeless body. It was as if an angel from god knows where just answered my prayer. But wait… it's not going towards me…
And what the heck is that blue swirly thing over there…?
"Flash Kick!" I kicked his neck, causing myself to do a backflip while doing it and him biting his own tongue. Wrong fighting series, Kori! And if you know where that attack came from, you get an interweb cookie!
"Grrryyyaaahhh!" I was released from both his claw and his tongue. His tongue found its way back into his mouth. As I landed, Reptile became a sky-bluish color very quickly and froze in place.
"Finish Him, Kori!" That voice… I shook my head and grabbed his torso and threw it at one of the living trees.
When the frozen Reptile was flying, he melted and fell into the bark of the tree, sticking the back side out against Kori. Reptile lifted up his head, but was crushed down by the angry tree's teeth. I heard violent screams coming from the tree. I could only watch what of what became of Reptile's fate as the tree chewing on the foe's body and bones. Green blood gushed out everywhere in front of the tree's site. After thirty seconds of constant noming, the legs of the once-apart-of-a-body of Reptile fell to the ground. Just imagine how it would feel if you were Reptile… Let's just put it as it won't end with a "…and they lived happily ever after."
FATALITY!
"Mm, Delicious and Fatalitritious." Blood dripped every time the tree moved its teeth-like bark.
"Please don't talk with your mouth full…" I wanted to vomit so bad after seeing that! It's rude and disgusting!
"Mortals tell me not what to do!" Blood launched from its mouth and found itself on my face. Eww… I already have enough blood on me!
I wiped it off and flicked my hands around. "Couldda' told me in advance that you were gonna do that!"
"As for you." Sub-Zero interrupted. I completely forgot he was here and flinched when I heard his voice. "Are you alright?"
I nodded and put my hand on my open… wait wha? I rubbed the area of my bloody clothes. I don't feel it at all!
"You are not okay, are you?" Damn, he could read my mind. I must be out of it today.
"Bah! Shut up!" I blushed in embarrassment. Shush! Guys can blush too! Like girls, guys are also sensitive!
I folded my arms around my chest, covering the "healed" hole. He busted out laughing. This man rarely laughs; this is a huge surprise to me. For whatever reason why he barely does is beyond my lack of knowledge.
"Let's return home." He put his cold hand on my shoulder. I jumped at how cold it was.
"BAKA!" I cried out and grabbed my poor shoulder. I blushed a little more and squatted down like a kid who's crying. "Now I know why they call you 'Sub-Zero'!" Imagine if you had to do an arm wrestle with this guy… I'd feel bad for the poor guy or girl! He laughed once more. "Okay fine! Let's go already!" I sounded like a whining 6 year old kid. Reference to how Johnny Cage acted in the dream of the third chapter, anyone?
Sub-Zero contacted Sonya to open the portal up again and within seconds, it appeared out of nowhere.
We proceeded towards the open portal and went inside. I have never been in a portal as I felt like I was going through a seizure; going in circle constantly and rapidly. When the "ride" ended, instead of appearing inside the Special Forces base, we ended up at the front of a familiar shop. Strange timing to appear here but whatever.
"You recognize this building, Kori?"
"Yeah… but why did we warp here?"
"I do not know. Maybe something went haywire at headquarters." Sub-Zero put his hand on the communicator and held a button down. "Sonya! Did something happen over there?"
No response.
"It's not like it's far from 'home' though. We're on the right planet." I said. "I mean; what could possibly go wrong?" I looked up at the building's name. It glowed "Writer and the Sun." I don't know why it has such a lame name, but that's not the case for us. We need to stay somewhere and this is the first spot to be in. Forgot its night time over here.
I put my hand on the cold, bronze doorknob and twisted it. The door was now open; I heard that bell chime thing that you hear in those small pawn-shop-like places. It was not as small as I imagined it, but I couldn't hold myself up and fell forward. Site seeing will have to wait for now... My pain decided to jolt at the wrong time.
"…Oh my… are… okay…?" Was the last thing I heard before blacking out.
New chapter, new month, new douchyness. That's what you get when you are forcing imagination.
Hey guys, I should had been posting stuff like this since the beginning buttttt. . .
I do not own Mortal Kombat or any of the characters that were featured in here. Except for Kori and the name of the Building. "Flash Kick" is also not from this. It's an attack from Guile from the Street Fighter series. I do not own them either.
The reason why "God Knows" is in italics is because that was the song I happened to be listening to at the time lol. Also, the "…Delicious and Fatalitritious" part is basically the phrase, "Delicious and Nutritious."
I'm not really satisfied with this chapter, mainly because of the "fight" because it's not really considered a fight. It's more like a run-and-hide-and-die mode in a videogame. As I said above, I had to force it out and it still came out as something I didn't expect. But oh well, its life and I got pets viewers to entertain! Tell me how I can improve in the reviewer box!
Chapter Summary (6 parts this time, bros! D=) I'll try to shorten it up to the best of my ability.
Part 1: Sub-Zero enters the Special Forces base. Pretty much self-explanatory.
Part 2: Reptile attacks Kori again. He tries to counter it but has to avoid the attacks to save himself. Reptile ends up attacking the tree, enraging them.
Part 3: Sub-Zero meets up with the General of the Special Forces, along with Sonya and Jax. He explains his situation to them. Sonya agrees in letting him go through the portal, but the machine needs to warm up before it works.
Part 4: Kori runs away from Reptile. Hoping that he lost him, he slows down, only to have his wound open up and get impaled with the Reptilian's claw in the chest.
Part 5: The portal begins to work and Sonya gives Sub-Zero a communicator for when to bring him back.
Part 6: Kori is almost finished off by Reptile, until he THINKS he gets saved by that Golden and Silverish aura again which also catches Reptile off guard and gets Flash Kicked. He also gets saved by Sub-Zero's iceball. Afterwards, Kori tosses Reptile into the mouth of the Living tree and… you get the point. Kori and Sub-Zero go through the portal again, only to find themselves in front of a shop only Kori knows of. Once he steps in, he blacks out from the pain that was hurting him earlier.
I think I already have an idea for the next chapter, so stay tuned for an update for this story… whenever I make it. =P You'd be shocked to see what it will be. Just saying
Anyways, I'll see you guys next time and tell me what you guys wanna see in the next chapter!
Ps: See, Miracleheart14? I shortened it just for juu! Lol x). Cya!
