Eight warriors sat, stood, and leaned in the study room in the west wing of the palace. Two of them sat closely together on one of the couches, a lean yet muscular man with a red headband and an incredibly beautiful yet equally deadly woman that is clad elegantly, albeit sparingly, in blue. They both shared a grim and at the same time hopeful attitude. Another man, wearing army cargo pants and a black t-shirt that barely covered the shoulders of his robotic arms sat in a single, comfy chair with one leg crossed over the other, and he wore an expression of professional determination and discipline. Standing by the bookcase by the fireplace, another man with black slacks and a matching blazer, as well as his iconic sunglasses, twirled a pen he always had on hand for signing autographs between his fingers. His face could be read as anxious despite the glasses. In another single chair, a woman with shoulder length hair and a body and face almost identical to her 'sister' in blue, but instead she wore an outrageous pink outfit. She sat relatively still, tapping her fingers on the armrest slowly in a unified pattern as her cat like eyes picked things out from around the room, trying to end her boredom. Standing up next to her was a young man head to toe in armor that he had foolishly picked out despite it being boiling hot and almost too heavy for him to carry properly. He stood so straight and so still that he reeked of awkwardness of nerves; not the least because he had been involved inappropriately with two of the women and was charged with guarding the third. On another couch, a muscular man with a blue face mask sat somewhat laxly, but also attentively so as not to look lazy. Frost came out with his breath, and his eyes kept snapping to the side because of the person next to him. This is another woman, uniquely beautiful from the other two and wearing green clothes, sat on the armrest of the couch, balancing on it perfectly without even letting her feet touch the ground. She looked thoughtful and patient.
"So, why are we just hanging out in here?" Johnny asked after dropping his pen and deciding to leave it.
"You got somewhere else to be?" Jax asked.
"What are you talking about? I'm here for Liu and baby blue one hundred percent!" Johnny said defensively.
"Thanks Johnny." Kitana said gratefully.
"Hmm, now that I think about it, I do have a casting meeting for Dragon Fist 3 that the producers want me to attend because I don't take just anyone to be my co star. You gotta be a real deal actor or actress to work with the Ca.."
"Uh, spare us." Mileena cut in.
"Hey don't hate pinky!" Johnny said with a smile.
Mileena stopped tapping her fingers and narrowed her eyes at the actor. Johnny involuntarily gulped down a knot in his throat.
"If you call me pinky again, I'll give you a nickname; stumpy. And guess what, it won't be because I cut your pretty head off."
While she said this, she scraped one of her sais on the seat cushion between her lean, fit legs. She brought it noticeably close to her crotch to get her point across. Johnny picked up his pen and hastily went to stand next to Jax. Eric shuffled his feet a little bit after watching.
Why did I find that so sexy? He thought to himself.
"I assume we are waiting to hear from Raiden about which match up will compete first?" Sub Zero asked.
"You are right Sub Zero, Raiden will inform us when the first activity is ready, which should be soon." Liu told him.
"Speaking of the matches, anyone have any thoughts about who they were matched up with?" Kitana asked.
"Yeah I do actually. What's with this Reiko guy? I never heard of him." Johnny said.
"He was a high ranking general in Shao Kahn's army, just like Rain was. It's no surprise that Rain is scraping the barrel for help, especially with that bitch Tanya." Jade said, almost spitting out the last name.
"You and Tanya have some history I take it?" Sub Zero asked Jade.
"More like I want to tear out her white eyes and feed them to her." Jade said, with absolute sincerity.
"Damn, what she do to you?" Johnny asked.
He spoke for most of the people there, since no one was accustomed to hearing Jade speak about someone so angrily, and viscously.
"Tanya has betrayed Edenia on more than one occasion, and our personal trust as well." Kitana explained.
Jade clenched her fist hard and seemed like she wanted to say more, but she consoled herself.
"And Jax, about Kano. Didn't you say Sonya was on a mission to track him down?" Liu asked.
"No, I said she was on a classified mission." Jax said, still trying to enforce protocol.
"But, finding Kano here is, disconcerting." He added.
Jax wondered about Sonya. He doubted Kano could have done anything to her, and she was tough. He decided that she was fine.
(In the middle of the Australian Outback)
Sonya stumbled across the dry earth, crunching dead twigs and kicking up cactuses and she went. She had gotten a local to drive her out her and then she went the rest of the way on foot. She had traveled to a Black Dragon staging area to find Kano, but no one was there. As if that wasn't bad enough, she didn't have the foresight to pay the driver to wait for her. Now she was stuck out in the middle of this wasteland without any water, food, or quicker way out.
"All the intel, so much time preparing and checking sources, why wasn't he there?" She said to herself.
The heat was getting to her and dehydration was setting in. Her walk turned into a groggy drag, her blond hair stuck to her face and chest drenched in sweat, and her boots were filling with sand by the minute. Something caught her attention in the distance. She stopped and stood up straight, shielding her eyes from the sun's glare for a better look. Not too far away, just standing there with his back to her and both his arms pointed into the air was a man, stiff as stone.
"Kano!" Sonya yelled hysterically.
Ignoring her hunger and thirst and heat stroke with the sheer force of will alone, Sonya sprinted towards Kano, still not moving and standing more still than should be humanly possible. Sonya dipped back and pushed off the ground with her hands and went soaring through the air towards Kano. Her foot crashed into him and knocked him down, and Sonya fell on top of him. Sharp pain was felt all in her arms, near her face and neck, her chest and parts of her breasts, and close to her nether regions. The pain caused her to see through her mirage of Kano and realize what she had just landed on; a large cactus.
Sonya carefully pushed herself up, not wanting to even jerk the sharp cactus pins in her. To top things off, her eyes started to water and she sneezed. It felt like an allergic reaction, but she was only allergic to dogs. The realization donned on her; she was in Australia. Several deep growls came from around her. A pack of ravenous dingoes started walking in from the small slopes around her, and their hungry mouths wet the ground with drool.
(Back in the study)
I'm sure she's fine. Jax thought and he shrugged away his worry.
"What about you Sub Zero? Do you have any qualms about fighting Scorpion?" Jax asked.
"I will do everything I can to make Liu and Kitana's marriage a reality. If I must go against Scorpion to do so, then so be it."
"It's kinda weird don't you think? It's like there is something that wants you two to fight all the time, to always be bitter rivals." Johnny wondered.
(At Netherrealm Studios HQ)
"Mr. Boon it looks like Johnny Cage is drawing attention to us!"
"Son of a bitch, have one of the smarter characters get things back on track pronto!" Ed Boon ordered.
"Stop being foolish Johnny. It doesn't matter who Sub Zero is pitted against, he'll defeat them handily regardless. Won't you Sub Zero?" Jade said.
"I, of course I will, you can count on me." Sub Zero said proudly.
It was a good thing that his mask covered his cheeks, so that no one, and especially not Jade, could see him blushing.
"That just leaves you and Reptile, Mistress Mileena." Eric said.
"Yeah, I know Eric. I'm not an idiot." Mileena shot back.
"I'm surprised Reptile is back at all, Jade and I saw him get steamrolled by a boulder not too long ago." Liu revealed.
"Indeed, for someone to be so incompetent to allow that to happen to themselves surely they mustn't be too much of a challenge." Jade added confidently.
"You are too cocky." Someone said.
"What are you talking about?" Jade asked Liu.
"I didn't say anything." Liu said confusedly.
"Oh crap, I knew it! I just knew that one of the other realms would have ghosts!" Johnny said with fear, looking every which way franticly.
A deep growling sound echoed into the room. A womanly screeched followed it, and Johnny was practically on top of Jax after he screamed.
"What the hell are you doing!" Jax asked underneath Johnny.
"Hold me!" Johnny answered.
"Johnny there are no ghosts, Liu calm him down….Liu?" Kitana said.
Liu poked his head out from underneath the blanket he had pulled over his whole body when Johnny screamed ghost.
"Do what now?" Liu asked.
"What the hell is it then?" Jade asked.
Out of thin air, Reptile made himself invisible right in front of Jade, snarling in her face. Surprised, Jade yelped fell back off the armrest and right into Sub Zero hands and lap.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, hallelujah, halleluuuuuujah! Sub Zero thought uncontrollably.
"Oh shit!" Eric exclaimed, and he tried to draw his sword from it's scabbard, but not realizing the strap holding it in place was still on.
"We were just talking about you scaly." Johnny said with regained compsure.
"Yes, I heard." Reptile shot Jade a look of disdain.
"What….aw son of a…. what are you doing in the royal palace?" Eric said, still fighting with his sword.
"Shut up grunt, my business is with Mileena, not you." Reptile said.
"We haven't had much to talk about since the, 'good old' days with Shao Kahn Reptile. And I doubt you've done anything worth while to catch up on." Mileena said somewhat venomously.
"I've been making some new friends actually, as have you. Slumming by the way it looks." Reptile said.
Oh snap….hey wait! Johnny thought.
"Anyway, as you know the two of us have been pitted against each other for the Olympiad. Well, I have just learned that we are going first, and what the challenge is. You have no chance."
"Is that so?" Mileena asked.
"Absolutely. But so that we don't deny Rain his prize longer than absolutely necessary, and even so that you can avoid embarrassment and miserable failure, I've come to you with a proposition."
"And what makes you think I would take any deal you or Rain offer?" Mileena asked.
Reptile laughed a little, and it was intended to mock her.
"Because I know you well enough Mileena to call you selfish and conniving. You don't care about anyone nearly as much as you do for yourself."
Mileena listened closely to the harsh words, a small fire threatening to light the gas on an inferno.
"You don't really hold any loyalties to your so called friends and family do you? Kitana doesn't really accept you as family…"
"Now hold on a second!" Kitana said, standing up.
Reptile ignored her.
"Not only that, I'm sure that she will never give you the chance to live the life of a princess as you should. That is why Rain has offered you alone this ultimatum; withdraw from the Olympiad, or be banished from Edenia forever once Rain is king." Reptile declared.
"What?" Mileena exclaimed.
"Rain has no authority to make a decision like that!" Kitana stated protectively.
"Once he is king, and he will be, he can decide whatever the hell he wants." Reptile retorted.
"Rain will not be king, and Mileena won't take your deal. Right Mileena?" Kitana said confidently.
Mileena didn't reply, she merely stared at her feet.
"Mileena?" Kitana asked.
"Hah, she knows that I speak the truth, don't you Mileena?" Reptile asked.
Mileena finally brought her yellow eyes up to all the people looking at her. With her veil on, Mileena's emotions were conveyed through her eyes and facial movements. They showed that she was deep in thought, and deeply hurt as well, maybe even guilty?
"I, I just need to forfeit?" Mileena asked Reptile.
"Mileena…." Kitana asked quietly, feeling betrayed.
"That is it. Forfeit the match, and be treated as true royalty. And here is the icing on the cake, Rain has also offered to utilize his resources to have your tarkatan features removed. Think about it, your rage and killer instinct tempered to be more normal and civilized, your teeth and mouth changed so that people do not think of you as a freak…." Suddenly Reptile was punched in the mouth, hard.
The punch didn't come from Kitana, who was growing angrier and more protective of Mileena, or any of the others. Instead, it came from the incompetent 'grunt' who had finally given up on his sword.
"You shut your mouth lizard!" Eric shouted loudly in Reptile's face.
"First you sneak into the palace, dishonoring the guard, and then you have the audacity to insult Mistress Mileena like this? How dare you, Mileena is nothing like you have described her. She cares more for her friends and family more than you can ever know, and she would never betray them for your insulting offer. She has no need of it; she is a part of the royal family, she is as important as anyone else, and she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen…..err, not to say anything against General Jade or Princess Kitana of course."
Everyone, including Reptile, stood silently looking at Eric. Mileena especially, who was behind him, was stiff with attention and…..gratitude? Eric drew his sword, finally, and stood his ground once again.
"Now, get out, or I'll throw you…..gaaah!" Eric choked out.
Reptile, seemingly having lost patience, had grabbed Eric by the throat and lifted him into the air, making his feet dangle in the air and he struggled for breath.
"You talk too much." Reptile said.
Reptile snarled and threw Eric across the room like a toy, making him crash into one of the book cases. Eric slid down to the ground with a pile of books covering him. Before he could get back up, Reptile pounced on him, pinning him to the wall with one hand.
"The rules state that members from each team can't attack each other, but that doesn't mean I can't rip out your intestines." Reptile said dangerously.
Reptile brought his free hand back and opened it widely, the large sharp claws aiming for his gut. Reptile snarled once more, and Eric closed his eyes, as if that would somehow block out the sensation of Reptile's clawed hand delving into his insides.
Moma, pops, I love you. Bryant, I'm sorry I wasn't ever as good a guard as you, Mike I'm sorry for wetting the bed and blaming you bro, oh god why doesn't he get it over with? Eric thought to himself.
If his eyes were open, he would've seen the sharp point of a sai that was merely an inch from plunging into Reptile's eye.
"Let him go Reptile." Mileena said.
"Didn't you hear me Mileena? If you fight me, then you are disqualified from the Olympiad." Reptile said while still holding Eric down, who had finally opened his eyes.
"And if I get disqualified, then nothing is stopping me from mashing your eyes into a jam for toast then." Mileena threatened.
It was clear to everyone in the room then that Mileena was in perfect form. Reptile looked at the sai, mostly because he couldn't help it because it was dangerously close to blindly him, to say the least. Eric squirmed under his grasp a little and Reptile increased the pressure on him. Mileena in turn moved the sai closer to his eye, her ability to still not touch his eye a testament to her skill and expertise.
"No one roughs this boy up except me. No one." Mileena said dangerously.
Reptile finally got the point and released Eric, and then backed up slowly from Mileena.
"You should've taken the deal Mileena. You can't beat me in the challenge, and your team will lose the Olympiad. Once that happens, you will be banished from your home, and I will be coming back for you myself." Reptile said to Eric.
With one final look at all the assembled people, Reptile began to camouflage himself.
"The challenge starts in ten minutes, see you soon." He said before becoming invisible and walked towards the door.
The door swung open suddenly, and Reptile's cry of pain was muffled by the door pressing him against the wall and the voice of the person who entered.
"Hello everybody! I hope you are ready Mileena, your challenge against Reptile is starting in mere minutes." Raiden said.
Reptile squeezed himself from out between the door and stone wall and didn't even bother revealing himself again, he just stalked off, leaving a splash of green on the door.
"What is the first challenge Raiden?" Mileena asked.
"That will be revealed in the arena, so please everyone come." Raiden said before leaving himself.
All the assembled fighters started to get up from their seats and began making their way out.
"Thank you Mistress Mileena." Eric said.
He extended his hand to her, presuming she would help him up. Instead, she gave a book that was dangling on the edge of the bookcase a small push and it came toppling over, bouncing off of his helmeted head. It knocked his helmet so that it blocked his eyes, and he fought with it to adjust it.
"Some guard you are, getting tossed around like this…." Mileena said harshly.
Mileena reached down and grabbed hold of Eric's helmet, and she gently adjusted it for him so that he could see again.
"Thanks." She said equally gently.
Eric looked right into her eyes, seeming awe struck by Mileena's sudden tenderness. Mileena blinked herself back and she turned and left without another word.
"No problem…." Eric said quietly.
Eric got up and left, and Jax trailed behind him. Sub Zero and Jade were the last to leave.
"Thanks for the catch Sub Zero." Jade said.
She turned in Sub Zero's hands and lap and got up. She shook herself to.
"Are your hands always that cold? You gave me goose bumps." She said with a chuckle.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I can't really help it." Sub Zero said nervously.
Jade laughed again at his discomfort.
"Don't worry, I didn't mind. But lets go, this Olympiad is finally getting underway."
Sub Zero watched Jade leave while he remained sitting for another moment. He realized that his hands were in the same position as they were when he had caught Jade and held her. He involuntarily clutched at the air, as if it still had a trace of her. A foreign feeling occurred to Sub Zero, a chill of ecstasy ran up his spine.
The stands around the arena were booming with villagers and nobles who excitedly cheered for the match to begin. On one side of the stage, Liu's assembled team along with Kitana stood watching. On the other was Rain's team. In elevated booths, Sindel and Jerrod watched the whole thing. On the stage stood Liu with Mileena and Rain with Reptile. Raiden stood between both of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, people of Edenia! Welcome to the first event of the Olympiad!" Raiden's voiced boomed across the arena.
The crowds roared in appreciation and excitement. More than one person extended too far over the guard rails and fell into the seats below them.
"The first event will be between these two people; competing for Rain's team, the last saurian, Reptile!"
Reptile stepped forward and roared loudly, beast like. As impossible as may have seemed, the crowds got even louder in reaction to this.
"And competing for Liu Kang's team; Princess Kitana's own sister….(I think) Mileena!"
Mileena strutted forward confidently and raised her hands in the air, inciting the people once again.
"Yes this challenge will test these two's unique…..talents." Raiden said.
The floor of the stage fell away in long lines. Up out of the holes were long tables, raised by pulley systems hidden within the stage. Each table was about two Shokan's long, and they were lined with food and drink. A lot of it.
"What the hell is this?" Mileena said aloud.
Reptile laughed smugly from his own table.
"I think you have to.." Liu began.
"Eat! This is the Feast of the Gods, and you must eat all of what is presented before you, whatever it is. The contestant who eats all of their food first, or outlasts their opponent, will win. There will be one intermission for the contestants to, fix themselves." Raiden said.
Reptile removed his mask to reveal his large maw, and his tongue lashed between his teeth as he approached his table. Mileena pulled her mask down her neck and approached her own table. Mileena wouldn't consider herself self-conscious, she was nearly identical to one of the most beautiful women alive after all, but she never removed her mask or veil in public if she could help it. Having all these people here, looking at her, seeing her tarkatan mouth, it made her nervous and afraid.
"Are you okay?" Liu asked her.
The question surprised her both because of it's unexpectedness and it's sincerity.
"Am I okay? This is your women." She said, trying to dismiss her own feelings.
"Yes and your sister to. I just want you to know that both of them, and I, really appreciate what you are doing Mileena. Thank you." Liu said.
Mileena did something that she rarely did with her mouth exposed. She smiled. She looked over and saw Kitana looking right at her. Mileena nodded to her reassuringly. She then turned to Reptile and flipped him off.
"Bring it on you scaly bastard." She taunted.
"Alright, contestants, begin eating!" Raiden shouted.
Mileena picked up the first thing she saw, a large loaf of bread. She quickly filled her mouth with half of the bread and chewed frantically. She looked over and was shocked to see Reptile devouring a similar loaf of in merely three bites. He ravenously moved through his food, devouring all of it like a machine. Mileena realized that she really needed to pick up the pace. Cracking her knuckles for no apparent reason other than to show she meant business, Mileena used her dagger like teeth to shred her food to ribbons. She had gotten to a point where bread, veggies, fruit, meats and wine all met in a whirlwind of delectable but filling foods. Mileena stopped for a moment and noticed that she had somehow managed to clear her table of food. Reptile merely stood with crossed arms, watching her pick herself up from her table. He looked like he had eaten a snack. Mileena was full enough for the day.
"Seconds?" Reptile asked mockingly.
The tables lowered again into the holes and raised back again in a couple of minutes completely full. This time, it was covered with wild mushrooms, raw meat and fish, and a number of plant life that would probably be appetizing when cooked, but looked like they were just picked up off the ground right now. Mileena touched her stomach, she really didn't want to eat anymore. Reptile plunged his face right into the slop, filling his mouth with what he can and almost swallowing it whole. Mileena forced herself to try and do the same.
(Twenty minutes later)
One left. One raw chicken breast lay on Mileena's table. She picked it up, the small piece of poultry feeling ten times heavy than it should be. She put it in her mouth and started to chew. Her jaw was tired, and her ability to taste was traumatized by having eaten all this raw food. With a stiff swallow, it was done.
"And that ends the first half of the Feast of the gods. Our contestants will have a brief intermission to relieve themselves however they please before they return for the final phase." Raiden announced.
Liu stood outside the women's bathroom with Eric. They could hear Mileena purging through the closed door.
"This is brutal. She's done for but Reptile looks like he hasn't even dented his appetite." Liu said worriedly.
"There's no point, Mileena just can't beat Reptile in a straight up eating contest. We need to tip the odds in our favor." Eric said.
"Any ideas?"
"Actually, I do have one idea." Eric said.
"Okay, I'm listening." Liu said.
"Go to the kitchen, you'll meet an old friend who can help you."
Liu traveled to the kitchen to find it in disarray. The cooks had been working non stop to prepare the food for the Feast of the Gods. He asked around for the person who was to bring up the final part of the meal, and he directed to a woman. She had a slim figure, nice legs, ample breasts, and cute asian features.
"Alice?" Liu asked.
Alice dropped a bowl full of silver ware when she saw him.
"Oh my, Master Liu. It's good to see you again, I suppose. Look if you are here about what happened last time I'm really sorry!" She said frantically.
"No, no Alice. It's fine, I know what happened and I don't blame you. I was actually hoping to ask for your help."
"My help? I hope you don't want me to compete in the Olympiad."
"No not that. I've actually come to ask you about….what is that?" Liu asked about the two large bowls behind her.
Alice turned to them and brought one over to him. She cringed from the smell and sight.
"This is the final part of the feast; Oni soup."
"Oni soup?" Liu asked.
"Yes, it's an old recipe invented by Oni from the Netherrealm. I guess they have very…..discriminating tastes." Alice said.
Liu looked at the grey mess that was in the bowl. It was lumpy, much more solid than soup should be, and he was sure something was moving just beneath the surface.
"Even Reptile will have trouble with that, but Mileena will have no chance with the state she is in. Is there something you can do to help us?" Liu asked.
"Um, nope, nothing." Alice said.
"Alice?" Liu asked suspiciously.
"Well, hold on a second."
Alice left into the large pantry and Liu heard the shuffling of a number of glass jars. She returned with one and presented it to Liu.
"These are some ingredients one of the cooks picked up from Earthrealm."
"Ingredients? These just might kill him….they are perfect!"
Liu opened up the jar and poured all of the contents into one of the bowls of Oni soup.
Reptile and Mileena stood on the stage, a single pedestal in front of each of them. Reptile stood tall, but Mileena needed to lean on the pedestal for support.
"Now everybody, the final course of our food challenge." Raiden said.
Alice walked onto the stage with both the bowls. She placed one on each pedestal and hurried away.
"This is Oni soup." It is a delicacy amongst the demons of the Netherrealm, but is disgusting to anyone else."
Reptile smelt the soup and he hissed at it. Mileena didn't have the constitution to do even that.
"The person who finishes first will win, or the person who cannot stomach it loses. Begin!"
Reptile hesitated, and then he looked over to Mileena who looked like she was about to faint.
"You should've taken the deal, now you'll pay for it." Reptile said.
He picked up the bowl and brought it to his mouth. Reptile let the soup pour into his mouth. He filled his mouth and put the bowl down. It tasted horrible, but he chewed what chunks were in it and swallowed. He had to breathe deeply because he was on the verge of gagging. Mileena still hadn't touched hers, she had hit the wall. Becoming bolder because of this, Reptile took another swig of the soup, again stopping to chew the chunks of something that was in it. It felt like it had seeds in it. Then he noticed that he was drooling.
Reptile was drooling, and his tongue started to feel a little numb. And then heat, minor but noticeable at first but rapidly becoming unbearable. It felt like the sun had appeared in his mouth. Reptile opened his mouth and panted like a dog, sucking in air hoping it would cool his mouth. Then his lungs started to burn…
"What the hell is this?" Reptile said to himself.
Reptile spat on the ground, the acid causing it to sizzle.
"Are you okay Reptile?" Raiden asked.
"I…I…I…." Reptile couldn't form a sentence now.
He started pacing back and forth, clawing at his mouth. He started moaning, then grunting, then yelling.
"It's hot! It's too hot!" Reptile screamed.
Everyone watched Reptile go from running to crawling and back to running again all over the stage.
"Reptile get back to your pedestal or you lose the ma.." Raiden began.
"Aaawww!" Reptile screamed.
"Water! Water! Water!" Reptile screamed this and ran off the stage and out of sight,
"Well then, Reptile cannot finish the challenge and has left the boundaries. The winner due to disqualification is Mileena!" Raiden shouted.
The crowd cheered wildly. Mileena stood confused.
"You did it Mileena! You won!" Liu said.
"But, how? What happened?" Mileena asked.
Liu thought back to the jar that he had emptied into Reptile's soup. It was labeled 15 Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Peppers.
"Don't worry about that, just enjoy it!"
Liu grabbed Mileena's hand and raised it into the air, causing everyone except Rain's team to clap.
Rain found Reptile frolicking around on the ground, clutching his mouth and throat.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Rain asked angrily.
"Water dammit! I need some fucking water!" Reptile screamed.
"I'll give you water…."
Rain made a pool of water gather underneath Reptile. He then made it shoot up like a geyser, launching Reptile fifty feet into the air and over the wall.
If any of you are wondering why I put them in an eating contest, it is because Mileena and Reptile have both had a number of fatalities that involve them devouring people.
