Author's Notes: Hello everyone! How are you all doing? Fine I hope. Well,
I'm back with another chapter and I hope it's good. This one is for Jami.
She gave the idea and I wrote it. There's also an important note at the
bottom. Well, it's only important if you think so. (I don't really think
it's very important, though, unless you care about where I go and when I'm
leaving.) Okay, now onto the fic! ^_^!
Disclaimer: I get tired of having to write this in every chapter. It's really annoying but, then again, I'm bored so I'll write it anyway. I don't own anyone but Deep Blue because they all belong to Midway but Blue is mine.

"The Lone Warrior"
By: Green Devil
Ch.9: "Job Three"
"Alright, we'll be there in a few days . . .Bye." Sub-Zero hung up the phone, sat down on a chair in their den, and sighed.
"What's up bro?" Zero asked looking at him.
"It's nothing really just, do you think we should take anymore jobs? I mean, we have more than enough money to live off of now and when we run out then we'll go make more. It won't be that hard."
"But what about all the people that need your help? They'll call you and then you'll just turn your back on them? But that wouldn't be right."
"It would be if they . . . never mind, just forget it. We have a new job to do. The mayor of a nearby town called and said that there's something going on there. A ninja that has ice powers is going around and busting up crime rings and such. He thinks it's one of us but I told him it couldn't be, unless you've been going out at night without telling anyone Zero . . ." Sub-Zero said looking at Zero suspiciously.
"What?! No I haven't been going out! I've always been here!"
"I know, I know, just kidding. Anyway, the mayor said it was a female . . . unless there's something you're not telling me . . ."
"Damnit Sub-Zero! You know very well that I am not a girl!" Zero glared at his big brother. Sub-Zero chuckled lightly.
"Okay, okay, calm down. I'm just joking. Anyway, the mayor hired us to find out who she is and for another reason. He wouldn't tell me, says it was to important to tell over the phone."
"Hmm. Well, sounds good to me but what about Blue? Do we just leave him here?"
"I don't really know, it's up to him. Why don't you go ask him?"
"Okay." Zero walked out of the den and into Blue's room. " Hey Blue, are you feeling up to going on another mission? We got a call and we need to know if you wanna go."
Blue looked up at Zero from his bed. He was reading a book while lying on his bed. His leg was held straight by a splint because he had to keep it from moving so that it could heal somewhat.
"I don't think I'd be able to with this leg. Would you guys really need my help?" Blue asked.
"Well, I don't think so. We just have to find out who this girl is and something else but I'm sure we can handle it. Never mind then." Zero replied.
"Okay then, good luck. When are you guys leaving?"
"I don't know. I heard Sub-Zero say that we'll be there in a few days."
"Oh, well is Smoke going with you?"
"I don't know."
"Do you know anything?"
"Hey!"
"Just kidding."
"Why is everyone 'kidding' with me today?" Zero mumbled.
"Anyway, is that all you wanted?"
"Pretty much yeah. Have a nice time reading your book, Blue."
"Yeah, yeah." Zero closed the door to Blue's room and went back to the den where Sub-Zero was sitting on a couch with his eyes closed. Zero shook him awake.
"Bro, are you okay?" Zero asked.
"What? Yeah, I'm fine, just tired." Sub-Zero said.
"Oh, well Blue said he can't go. Besides, we can take this job no prob. Right?"
"Whatever. What about Smoke?"
"I was just about to check on him."
"Okay." Zero left to find Smoke while Sub-Zero settled back into the couch and fell back asleep.
A few minutes later Zero came back into the room. Sub-Zero woke up and his little brother told him that Smoke wanted to go with them.
"Okay then. Smoke, you, and I will go and Blue will stay and continue to heal. We leave tomorrow morning so get ready." Sub-Zero stated. Zero left to tell Smoke and to pack some things, leaving Sub-Zero alone to sleep again.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The next morning the three said their good byes to Blue and headed and headed east toward their next job. It took them a day and a half to reach the city and by then they were all very tired. All except Smoke that is.
"Finally! We're here! I thought I was gonna die!" Zero whined.
"Really? I feel just fine." Smoke said.
"Oh, shut up." Zero replied. Smoke stayed quiet but would be smirking if he could. Sub-Zero just stared at the two and continued walking. When they reached the mayor's office they were met with some bodyguards but they did not attack the three.
"Are you the ninjas the mayor hired?" one of the guards asked.
"Yes. I am Sub-Zero and these are my companions." Sub-Zero confirmed. The guards saluted them and allowed them to enter the office. They went in and the door was closed behind them.
"Welcome! So you are the famous Sub-Zero I've been hearing so much about. Here, have a seat." The mayor pointed to some chairs in front of his desk. " And who are the other two?"
"These two help me during missions. This is Zero and that's Smoke." Sub- Zero said while gesturing to each one.
"Ah, well you will probably need the help. All right, let's talk business. I told you about the female ninja going around busting up crimes and catching criminals, right? Well, there's another thing that I didn't tell you about. There are two cyborgs in town grabbing people and asking about Sub-Zero. Apparently they heard that an ice ninja was here but they didn't know it was a girl, they think she's you." The mayor said.
'Cyborgs?! Damn! That means that they might be Sector and Cyrax! This isn't good.' Sub-Zero thought.
"I'm also a little worried that the cyborg with you is one of them or is working with them."
"No Mr. Mayor, I can assure you that he is with us and will do no harm. Isn't that right Smoke?" Zero said.
"Yes that is right." Smoke answered.
"I guess I can take your word for it then. Huh, but maybe I'm just too trusting. Aw well, whatever. Those cyborgs have been destroying my town looking for you so I'll give you 50 thousand to get rid of them."
"50? Well, what do you say guys? Do we take it or leave it?" Sub-Zero asked.
"Well that is a low price to pay for getting rid of highly trained ninja cyborgs. And what about that female ice ninja that's around here? Why don't you let her take care of?" Zero said.
"Because she already tried . . . and failed. You are our last resort. Please help us."
"Hmm. Raise the payment. 50 thou isn't quite enough." Smoke said.
"Wha?! But they're your enemies! Humph, fine then. 70 and that's my final offer."
"Alright, we'll take the job. We'll come back here to receive our payment when they've been taken care of." Sub-Zero replied. "We'll be on our way then."
"Okay then. Good luck!" The mayor said and turned away from them to look out the window. The three ninjas got up and left the room in silence. When they got outside they started looking for a place to stay. They found a hotel that would give them a regular room with two beds so they had to take it. The other hotels wouldn't give them a room because they were ninjas. They went to their room on the second floor of the Days Inn. (A/N: I just put the name of the hotel I'm gonna stay at for a few days.)
"We will go out tonight and search for the cyborgs but they will most likely find us first so keep your guard up." Sub-Zero ordered after they all got settled in. The other two nodded in acknowledgement.
"But first, let's get some rest. Hey Smoke, do you need to . . . recharge or something?" Zero asked.
"I've been like this for weeks now, and you STILL don't know if I sleep or not? Smoke asked.
"What?! It's not like I keep an eye on you 24/7 to know if you do or not!"
"Humph. Well, yes I have to sleep and recharge my body so good night." Smoke sat in a chair, got comfortable, and dimmed his eyes.
"I guess he shut down. Well, it's 1:45 so we won't leave till about 7:00. That gives us about . . . 5 hours to do whatever we want. Right?" Zero predicted.
"Yeah, so do whatever you want but I suggest you rest. You were the one that was complaining that you were tired before." Sub-Zero said.
"Whatever." Zero lay on his bed next to the air conditioner and slowly fell asleep. Sub-Zero did the same and lay on his bed parallel to Zero's and slept.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
A few hours later, Sub-Zero awoke to an empty room. He got off his bed and saw a note on the table next to the window. He picked the note up and it read:
Dear Bro, Smoke and me went out for a while. We will be back in a few hours or so but don't worry; we'll be back in time for the mission. See ya!
Signed,
Zero & Smoke
'Those two . . .' Sub-Zero thought. 'What time is it?' he looked around the room and found a clock that read 5:46 'Well, that was a nice four hour nap.' He sighed and lay back down on his bed. He got the changer for the t.v. and started channel surfing. Of course there weren't that many channels but, whose complaining? About half an hour later Zero and Smoke walked through the door.
"Where were you two?" Sub-Zero asked as the two closed the door behind them.
"Oh, ah, we were just getting something to eat and stuff." Zero said. Sub- Zero glared at the two.
"Whatever, just get ready. We'll be leaving in a little while." Sub-Zero stated and laid back on his bed.
When the three were all ready they left the hotel and separated to cover more ground. They each had their own side of the city to cover and would meet back at the hotel in three hours. They kept an eye out for the robots, thought to be Cyrax and Sector, and for the female ice ninja.
Sub-Zero was jumping from roof to roof searching the streets for anything out of place. He saw a flash of blue followed by a red robotic figure. 'Sector! But who's that he's following?'
The ice ninja jumped to the ground to where the two figures had gone and was met with the stone wall of a building as someone was thrown at him. He held his head then looked down to see a girl with ice blue hair, which looked like it was frozen, dark blue eyes (color?) and the same color eye shadow. She wore a dark blue and black ninja suit but her mask only covered her nose and mouth allowing her icy hair to be seen fully. She held her arm as blood ran down it.
"You are badly hurt. Who are you and what is your name?" Sub-Zero asked.
"My name is Frost and that's all you will know about me. Who are you?" The female ice ninja, Frost, said.
"I am Sub-Zero--" an explosion, that occurred above them, cut him off. Sub- Zero jumped out of the way, as did Frost, while parts of the building fell where they were before.
Sector had shot a missile above them and was standing a few feet away with his arms crossed and looking at Sub-Zero. "There you are! I've been chasing this girl all over the place looking for you!" the robot yelled.
"Where's your buddy Cyrax? I thought you two were working together." Sub- Zero shot back.
"That is information I cannot give but I'll tell you this, I'm sure your friends know exactly where he is." Sector answered.
"What?!" Sub-Zero yelled. He charged at Sector but instead of hitting him, Sub-Zero jumped and used the 'bot as a catapult. He jumped off Sector's shoulders and landed on a roof. 'I've got to find the others!' he thought then turned back to look at Frost.
"You better get away from here if you know what's good for you Frost!" Sub- Zero yelled and took off, Sector following but not very closely.
'You've got to be alright you guys!' Sub-Zero thought and continued running to where the others were.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: Well was that good so far? It's not the end, I just put up this part because I wanted to get SOMETHING up before I left. I never had any intention of putting Frost in here because this takes place WAY before Deadly Alliance but well, Jami wanted her so I'm gonna put her in. She has no intention of taking over the Lin Kuei though, obviously, because they are not part of the Lin Kuei anymore. And there will be no pairings in this fic. I suck at romance and stuff like that, I'm better at action and slight humor. Also I'm gonna be gone for awhile because we are going to Austin to pick up my big sister from college so I finally get my notebook back! Yay! But there won't be any Internet in a hotel so . . . Plus, we're gonna stay in San Antonio for a while and go to Fiesta Texas and Sea World and do other stuff and uh, um, yeah . . .Trenay, you got me saying that! Hope you like it so far! Please review! See ya! ^_^!
