Chapter 10: A Deadly Reunion

Arriving just outside of the building she sees the soulnado coming from Kitana slowly makes her way inside of the skyscraper. As she looks inside to find the place completely empty Kitana goes on high alert taking out her fans before she slowly makes her way forward through the building until suddenly once she reaches a pair of stairs leading to the next floor Kitana comes to a complete stop when she hears the sound of footsteps emerging from the shadows before she looks over her shoulder to see Sheeva emerging from the shadows with a smirk across her face.

" Princess Kitana. Shao Kahn will be pleased."

As she sees Sheeva slowly approaching Kitana gets into a fighting stance before suddenly she looks up towards the ceiling to see a figure moving across it when suddenly the camouflaged figure lands in front of her before she watches the figure revealing themselves to be Reptile.

" Move aside zaterrian."

Slowly as his eyes remained locked with Sheeva's own Reptile's hands clutch into tight fists before he glances over his shoulder to look at Kitana.

" Go. Kill Shao Kahn."

As he sees Kitana giving him a nod Reptile watches her slowly leaving the scene before he looks back over to see Sheeva staring towards him with a glare.

" You will pay for this betrayal Reptile."

Suddenly Reptile jumps up into the air as he forms his body into a ball before he sends himself flying into Sheeva's chest sending her a couple of feet back to the ground onto her back. Landing on his feet Reptile hisses at Sheeva as he watches her slowly making it to her feet until he attempts the same attack again to only be caught in the air before he is sent flying towards the wall. Using his advances reflexes Reptile unwraps himself from his ball form before he bounces off the wall to deliver a spinning kick towards Sheeva's face. As he hears Sheeva letting out an angry roar Reptile gets into a fighting form before suddenly he is sent down to the ground when Sheeva unleashes a fireball that hits him directly in the chest.

Jumping to his feet Reptile looks over towards Sheeva seeing her charging forward at him with high speed when suddenly he feels Sheeva grabbing him in a tight hold with her lower hands before he feels her delivering punch after punch to his face with her upper arms. As he feels Sheeva stopping her assault on his face Reptile feels her tightening her hold around his body before he rears back and sends an acid spit into Sheeva's face causing the shokan to release her hold around his body and stumble back as she screams in pain.

Once he catches his breathe Reptile looks up towards Sheeva seeing her vicious rubbing her face as she screams out in pain when in a sudden move he sends his tongue out towards her face causing his tongue to quickly wrap around her throat before using all of his strength Sheeva's head suddenly leaves her shoulders to land into his waiting arms. As he hears the sound of Sheeva's lifeless body hitting the ground Reptile looks down towards Sheeva's head in his hands before he leans down and takes a big bite.

Using the shadows as cover Kitana quickly makes her way through the next two floors when suddenly she hears a familiar laugh echoing through the floor she is currently on. Slowly moving forward Kitana gets closer and closer to the source until suddenly her eyes widen when she sees her. Queen Sindel looking down towards the retreating form of Johnny Cage as he slowly crawls over towards a slow breathing Sonya Blade. Suddenly Kitana watches Sindel turn to look towards her as she locks eyes with her.

" Mother?"

Looking into her eyes suddenly Kitana shakes her head when she looks deep into Sindel's eyes seeing nothing but darkness radiating from them. Snapping out of her shocked state Kitana suddenly rolls to the side when Sindel lunges forward at her with a flying punch that hits nothing but air. Kitana for the next few seconds continues to dodge Sindel's attacks before she catches Sindel's fists into her hands and looks her deep in the eyes.

" Mother!? Please stop!"

Feeling a kick to her stomach Kitana releases her hold on Sindel's hands before she is sent back to the ground from a spinning kick. As she hears Sindel laughing Kitana slowly sits up to see her looking down towards her with a sinister smile across her face.

" Mother this is not your way! Shao Kahn has corrupted you!"

Kitana's eyes widen when she hears Sindel letting out a sickening laugh as she slowly ascends into the air before Kitana quickly has to roll to the side when she sees Sindel sending a purple fireball down her direction. As he continues to roll avoiding being hit by Sindel's onslaught Kitana looks up into Sindel's eyes seeing nothing but darkness before she yells out.

" Remember Edenia, mother! Remember your rule before Shao Kahn's invasion!"

As she sees Sindel stopping her assault Kitana slowly arises to her feet and takes a few steps towards Sindel before suddenly she jumps back with her eyes going wide when she hears Sindel letting out a sickening laugh. Hearing the Sindel continue to let out a sickening laugh Kitana shakes her head at she looks towards her mother's face.

" Mother forgive me for what i must do."

Suddenly in a quick motion Kitana takes out her steel fans and gets into a fighting motion. Once she hears Sindel's laughing coming to a stop suddenly Kitana charges forward towards Sindel sending a strike with one of her fans towards Sindel's head to barely miss from Sindel's last second dodge causing a large cut of form across Sindel's right cheek. As she hears Sindel letting out a scream at super high volume Kitana quickly covers her ears trying to block out the scream before suddenly in a flash Kitana rolls forward towards Sindel before unleashing a fan from her hand that connects directly into the middle of Sindel's forehead causing Sindel to fall backwards to the ground with a thud.

With her eyes going wide Kitana quickly races over towards Sindel before she crouches down and takes her mother's head into her arms as blood trickles down from Sindel's forehead to her arms.

" I'm so sorry mother. I'm sorry."

As tears fall down from her eyes down to Sindel's lifeless body reaching down Kitana pulls her fan gently out of Sindel's head and throws it to the side before she gently closes her mother's eyes.
