More Than That

by KLD kitkat

For her training, Mileena is sent to other realms to defeat their champions. What happens when she comes across an enemy that she develops feelings for? Will she kill him for her father? Or will true love find it's way? Set in Mortal Kombat nine during the tournament. I don't own the cover image!

11. A New Ruler

I don't own Mortal Kombat!

It's the way I'm feeling I

Just can't deny

But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

Song: We Found Love

Artist: Rihanna

The New Ruler

Mileena stared back at her sister Kitana, hoping she wasn't referring to what Mileena thought she was. Kitana smiled under her mask.

''I think you'd be fitting for a new leader, sister.'' Kitana said.

Mileena gulped, looking at the army bowing before her. She looked towards Sheeva, whom she had helped save her race by turning against her father, Shao Kahn. Sheeva smiled and nodded.

''In return for your help, the Shokan would happily serve you. As well as helping you regain what you have lost.'' Sheeva said, her orange eyes with diamond pupils, just like Mileena's, gleaming with happiness.

Mileena sighed, bowing her head. A moment later, she lifted it back up and smiled underneath her own mask. Her eyes gleamed as well. Finally, she took a deep breath before responding.

''Alright, but give me a moment.'' Mileena said, disappearing in a pink puff of smoke.

She reappeared in another pink puff of smoke just outside the smashed palace gates. There, Scorpion stood. She silently walked up beside him. He looked at her, a small smile creeping up under his mask. Mileena smiled as well and sighed happily.

She held up her hand to Scorpion's cheek. She leaned forward, eyes half closed.

''I'd love to see what's under your mask.'' She said dreamily.

Scorpion turned away, shaking his head.

''You won't like it.'' he said sadly.

''Let me be the judge of that.'' She said, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Scorpion sighed, turning back to her. Hesitantly, he took off his mask. Underneath his mask was a burning skull. Mileena gasped. Scorpion turned away sharply.

''Told you'' he sighed.

''No…I love it'' she said.

''You don't know what it's like to have to wear this to hide what you are.'' He said sadly.

''Not exactly'' Mileena said, her hand creeping up to her mask.

She turned Scorpion back towards her with her other hand. When he was looking at her, she closed her eyes and removed her mask.

Her razor-sharp teeth were now revealed to him. After a brief moment, he complied.

''Beautiful.'' He said, a smile creeping onto his skull.

Mileena opened her eyes again and looked at him, smiling. She leaned forward, closing her eyes once again. Scorpion's skull stopped flaming and he leaned in, too.

Soon, their lips met, and they shared a kiss. After a few minutes, they stopped, both of them smiling.

''They've declared me Empress of Outworld. I've chosen for you to rule alongside me.'' Mileena said happily.

Scorpion nodded. ''Not like I'll be going anywhere.''

They both smiled teleported back into the palace.

Inside

Mileena and Scorpion both appeared in a pink puff of smoke and flames. There awaited Kitana and Sheeva. They turned and smiled, bowing down as well as the army. The Shokan followed Sheeva's example and bowed as well.

Scorpion gave Mileena a questioning look.

''They've happily agreed to serve us.'' Mileena replied.

She turned back towards them, walking towards Sheeva and Kitana.

''Please, get off your knees.'' She said.

Sheeva and Kitana did as they were instructed and stood.

''Now'' Mileena began, dusting off her shoulders. ''Let's get this place back in order''

A few minutes later

The palace looked new and untouched. All shattered glass and dead bodies were gone. Everything was cleaned.

''Having an army comes in handy.'' Mileena mused.

Sheeva nodded.

''We are happy to serve you, as you have saved us.'' Sheeva said, bowing.

''And, in return, we shall supply you with food and shelter.'' Kitana said.

''No! Are you crazy! We're going to let them starve!'' Mileena joked.

Kitana rolled her eyes. Mileena nodded in agreement.

Later With The New Empress And Emperor

Mileena and Scorpion walked into the throne room. Usually, one throne sat there and it had belonged to Shao Kahn. Instead, two thrones sat side by side, each the same size. Mileena walked forward alongside Scorpion, thinking of how she had made it from a mindless, crossbred, killing machine to the Empress of Outworld, and how she managed to make her enemy her match. And he now held her heart. From enemy to friend they went, and now it was Empress and Emperor.

They took a seat on the two thrones. Kitana stood next to Mileena. Not only was she princess, she was Mileena's bodyguard. Sheeva and Jade shared a role as captains of the Outworld armies. Sheeva commanded the Shokan and Jade commanded the place army.

Shortly after taking a seat, a guard walked into the room, bowing before them.

''The captain of the Shokan army, Sheeva, requests to see you.'' he said.

''Bring her in.'' Mileena responded.

The guard nodded, getting up and bowing once more, before exiting. A few moments later, Sheeva walked in. She bowed, before speaking as to why she was there.

''I had told you that you shall be rewarded for aiding the Shokan in revolution. Now, I'm here to give it to you.'' She explained.

Moments later, two figures walked into the room. They appeared to be one make and one female.

Soon, they were revealed.

''Mother!'' Kitana yelled upon seeing her mother, Sindel, who gave up her life for Earthrealm.

Mileena had no words for the male. Not knowing rather if he was a friend or foe. Sheeva saw this and spoke to reassure her.

''You needn't worry, Empress Mileena. Baraka has agreed he shall give you up. He has taken to protecting you and Emperor Scorpion.'' Sheeva said.

Mileena blinked back tears of joy. She got up from her throne and went to hug him. He returned it to her.

''I've missed you Baraka.'' she said.

She backed up as a question formed in her mind.

''How are you here?'' she asked him curiously.

Scorpion walked up beside her as Sheeva responded.

''I had bowed before the Elder Gods and asked for them to return Sindel and Baraka. Since we had rose to defeat Shao Kahn, a great threat to Earthrealm, they complied and did so.'' Sheeva said.

Sindel and Kitana hugged, before parting.

''I've missed you Kitana'' Sindel said, parting from the hug.

Sindel wiped tears of joy from her face, as did Kitana.

''Mother, it is time you meet you other daughter.'' Kitana said, taking her mother's hand and walking over to Mileena and Scorpion.

''Mother, this is Mileena. Shang Tsung used his magics to bring her to being.'' Kitana said. ''She, however, is a clone.''

''Laced with your DNA?'' Sindel asked.

''Yes. She has proved herself good. She means no harm.'' Kitana reassured her mother.

Sindel nodded, before hugging Mileena.

''Dear child, you must have endured much due to Shao Kahn's madness.'' Sindel said.

''He had controlled me, I am free…Mother.'' She replied.

''Very good.'' Sindel responded, breaking the hug.

Baraka came and stood next to her. They looked at each other and bowed before Mileena and Scorpion.

''We will humbly serve you.'' Baraka said.

''Until our dying days.'' Sindel added.

Everyone knew that wouldn't be anytime soon. Everyone knew this because Edenians were long lived. Kitana was over 10,000 years of age.

''We shall leave be.'' Sheeva said, bowing once before exiting.

Sindel and Baraka followed her.

Up until then, everything had seemed perfect.
