"The Lone Warrior"

By: Green Devil

Ch.10: "Job Three" pt.2

Sub-Zero had reached the side of town that Zero was assigned and stopped to catch his breath. He turned around and was surprised to find that Sector was nowhere to be seen. 'Good, I lost him but for some reason I don't think that's good.' He thought and went on his way to look for his little brother.

As he was about to jump a gap between another two buildings he saw a gang beating up on a little wimp of a guy. He didn't wanna interfere but he knew he had to help. 'I ain't got time for this!' Sub-Zero hurriedly froze the gang members and took off. The guy he saved looked up to see who or what had saved him but all he saw was a streak of blue and Sub-Zero continued to look for Zero.

'Damnit Zero where are you?!' he jumped over a building and quickly glanced down but he didn't like what he saw. He was too shocked by what he saw to land right. He slipped and ended up on his shoulder and grunted in pain.

Sub-Zero quickly got back up and ran to the edge of the roof and looked down. Sure enough what he saw was no hallucination. He jumped down and slowly walked over to a figure lying on the ground. The ice ninja reached over to see if it was still breathing but he was struck from behind before he could.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

On another side of town two cyber ninjas were battling each other. One was silver and the other, metallic yellow. Oil was pooled everywhere because of the hits the two scored on each other. Cyrax back flipped away from Smoke and released his acid net.

Smoke dodged the net and shot his harpoon. It got Cyrax's left shoulder and sparks started flying along with oil. The silver 'bot grabbed onto the cord connected to the harpoon and swung Cyrax into a wall, which helped in ripping the harpoon from the yellow robot's arm. Smoke ran over to the Cyrax and held him down when he started to struggle.

"Cyrax, listen to me! Grandmaster is just using you, Sector, and everyone else for his own gain! All he wants is power and when he gets it he won't need any of you anymore! Don't you see?" Smoke yelled at Cyrax. The pinned 'bot stopped moving for a second but then kicked Smoke away. Cyrax stood then took of running.

"I hope I got through to him . . . Damn! The brothers! I have to find them!" With that Smoke left the scene just as a group of people came to check out what all the noise was about.

Smoke ran to Zero's side of town one, because it was the closest and two, he thought Sub-Zero could take care of himself. Besides, he had a bad feeling that Zero wasn't very much okay. A little ways into where Zero was suppose to be Smoke saw Sector walk away from in-between two ratty old buildings, his robotic hands and armor stained with blood.

'Whoa! What did he just do?' Smoke thought. Once Sector was out of sight Smoke ran over to where the red 'bot had come from and would have gasped if he could. He saw Zero propped up against a wall and Sub-Zero partially buried by a crumbled cement wall. There was a pool of blood slowly forming under him and he looked very badly hurt. Smoke hurriedly ran over to him.

"Sub-Zero!" he yelled. He got the older ice ninja out from under the rubble and placed him next to Zero. 'What happened to you two?' Smoke thought. Just then a shadowy figure jumped down from the roof of the building the brothers were propped up against and landed in front of them.

"Whoa. What happened to them?" the figure asked. Because of the darkness all Smoke could see was some blue and more black. 'Deep Blue? Naw, it couldn't be.' Smoke thought. He was now confused.

"Who are you? Get away from them." Smoke said and stepped between the shadow and the brothers.

"I'm a new friend of . . . Sub-Zero I believe his name was."

"Who are you?" Smoke asked again.

"My name is Frost. Sub-Zero saved me from that red robot, Sector. He left before I could thank him so I followed him but I lost sight of him after a while. I followed the sound of an explosion and ended up here but I guess I came a little late." The figure, Frost, stepped out of the shadows and was reveled to be the female ninja they were looking for.

"It's you! You're the one we were sent to find out about. It's a good thing he met you . . . Frost?" Smoke said.

"Yes, Frost."

"Okay then. Listen, I'm gonna need your help to get these guys back to the hotel safely. Could you help carry him?" Smoke gestured to Zero. Frost nodded so Smoke placed Zero in her outstretched arms.

"Wait a minute. I just thought about something. Why should I trust you? You're a robot like those other two. How do I know this isn't some kind of trap?"

"Because unlike the others, I have a soul and these two are my best and only friends."

"Oh . . . Sorry."

"S'okay. Anyway, come on. We need to help these two." Smoke picked up Sub- Zero and sprinted to the hotel room, Frost following close behind.

They made it to the room as quickly as they could then laid the brothers on their beds and Smoke immediately got to work cleaning and bandaging their wounds with the contents of a First Aid kit that was in the room. Sub-Zero was injured far worse than Zero and, from what Smoke could tell, Zero's injuries were a little older because some of the blood was already dry.

"Well, from what I can tell it seems that Zero was hurt first and Sub-Zero tried to protect him from . . .Sector, I would guess." Smoke said, He looked over at Frost and saw that she was looking out the window in a daze. "Frost? Are you alright?" Frost snapped out of her daydream and looked over at the silver robot.

"What? Oh, yeah I'm fine." Frost answered. Smoke had a feeling she wasn't telling him everything but as he was about to question further Zero stirred from his sleep.

"Oh . . .Huh-Wha-Smoke?" Zero slowly sat up on his bed and looked around the room. He saw his brother on the other bed; Smoke tending to a wound on his shoulder, then finally his eyes came to rest on a female ninja wearing a blue and black ninja suit. 'Blue and black ninja suits are really popular these days . . .' "Who are you?" he asked.

"Do I have to tell the whole world that one person at a time?!" Frost growled.

"Frost, calm down. Zero this is Frost, Frost this is Zero. She's a new friend of your brother's apparently." Smoke introduced them.

"Friend? As in what kind of friend?"

"You know what I mean Zero."

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, what happened to my brother?"

"He, uh, well, we don't know what happened really. I thought you would know. My guess is that he was protecting you from Sector." Smoke answered. "He should be waking up any time now so we'll get the whole story then." The cyber ninja finished bandaging the last of Sub-Zero's wounds and put everything away. Zero settled back into his bed while Smoke and Frost sat in the two chairs next to the window.

About an hour or so later Sub-Zero stirred and awoke to see a plain white ceiling above him. He turned his head to the side very slowly because it hurt to move and saw Zero on the other bed looking at him worriedly.

"Are you okay bro?" Zero asked.

"I hurt all over but it's nothing I can't handle." Sub-Zero answered in a cocky tone.

"Yeah, sure, whatever."

"So, what happened to you? I found you and Zero knocked out and badly wounded. Plus I met this ninja, Frost." Smoke looked over to the female. "She says she's a new friend of yours . . .is this true?"

"Yes, it is."

"Well? Tell us what happened." Zero chided.

"I saved her from Sector but had to leave because he said one of you was in trouble and Cyrax was at fault. I went through Zero's side with Sector trailing me for awhile but then he stopped following. I stopped to take breath and noticed he wasn't behind me anymore and I knew that wasn't good. I continued to look for Zero and finally found him but he was hurt badly, as you know. He didn't look very good. While I was worrying about him though, Sector attacked me from behind and caught me off guard. He was the one who attacked Zero after he stopped following me. I guess he beat me pretty badly, huh?"

"Got that right." Zero said.

"I encountered Cyrax and tried to talk some sense into him. I don't know if I got through to him but I have a feeling that he won't be bothering us for awhile. He took off so I went to look for you two. I found you both hurt, met Frost, and we brought you back here. Which reminds me, Frost didn't you want to tell Sub-Zero something?"

"Oh yeah. Um, Sub-Zero, I wanted to thank you for saving me back there. I appreciate the help and am in debt to you. I will help you fight this threat." Frost thanked.

"You're welcome but you can leave anytime you want to. You don't have to stay here and help. We can take care of it. You're not and don't have to be indebted to me." Sub-Zero reasoned.

"No. I will stay with you until my debt is repaid." Frost said stubbornly.

"Fine. Do what you want. I'm not in the mood to argue. Let us all rest and we will attack Sector tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get rid of him and he won't bother us again . . .Cyrax shouldn't be bothering us anytime soon either. Um, Frost? We don't have anywhere for you to sleep here but if you want you can get your own room. We'll pay for it."

"Okay." Frost answered then She and Smoke left the room.

"Are you sure you're alright Sub-Zero?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Stop worrying. It's not like I'm the little brother. I should be the one asking you that."

"Yeah, but you're not. Besides, you're hurt way worse than me."

"Whatever, just get some sleep."

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

The next night everyone was ready for a fight. The ice brothers were still hurt but they insisted that they were fine. The four of them weren't gonna take any chances so they decided to stick together this time.

"Okay everyone, let's do this." Sub-Zero said and the rest agreed. They left the hotel room and headed for the center of town looking for any sign of Sector on the way. They wanted to start looking in the middle and fan out from there. They passed by the place where Smoke had found Zero and Sub- Zero and saw police crews inspecting the scene.

"They're still there? I thought they'd have been gone by now. Sector and Cyrax have been here for awhile, they should be use to this by now." Smoke said.

"Well they do take forever to do their investigations. They probably think it's a murder scene because of the blood you guys left behind." Frost added.

"True." Smoke agreed and they continued on their way. Once at their destination the four stopped to survey the area. While Smoke was scanning the streets he saw Sector jump onto a roof so that he wouldn't be seen.

"Sub-Zero, I've detected Sector on the roof of that bank." Smoke said gesturing to the International bank to their left. He didn't want to point to it because Sector might be watching and know that they were there.

"On the bank? But why?" Zero asked.

"Maybe he's just there to be there." Frost said.

"Or maybe he just wants the money. It's closed right now and it would be easy for him to break in." Smoke added.

"But what would the Grandmaster want with more money? I'm sure they get more than enough as assassins." Zero wondered. "What do you think bro?"

"I think we should just get over there and worry about the details later. Now move out!" Sub-Zero ordered and jumped to the next roof, the other three following. As soon as Sub-Zero landed on top of the bank he was jumped from behind. Sector had hidden himself and had waited for them to come. He knew they were there to get him, but he got them first.

Sector threw Sub-Zero to the ground and shot a missile at him. The ice ninja quickly moved out of the way so the missile blew a hole in the roof of the bank instead. Sub-Zero got to his feet and shot an ice blast but Sector countered by shooting another missile. It froze, fell, and shattered.

"Nice counter but don't expect to do that every time. It won't always work." Sub-zero said. "Get him!" Smoke jumped at Sector and kicked his chest, Zero slid on a trail of ice and rammed him with his shoulder, and then Frost formed two ice daggers in her hands and impaled them into Sector's legs. Oil spurted out and landed on the rooftop.

Sector slowly started losing power as his life fluids left him. He didn't take the daggers out because if he did it would just make the oil spillage worse. He left them in as Smoke, Zero, and Frost continued to attack him.

"That's it you guys! Keep it up! I'm almost done!" Sub-Zero exclaimed. He was forming an ice blast to freeze Sector with but for some reason it was taking a while to form it.

Finally the ball was formed and it was a good thing too because the three that were fighting were fighting were getting tired. They jumped away from Sector, as Sub-Zero gave them the signal, and he stood there confused but then he realized why they jumped out of the way. He saw ice flying toward him but instead of jumped out of the way he just ran to meet it. The ice blast hit Sector square in the chest and started spreading.

"This won't happen to me!" the red robot yelled and tackled Sub-Zero. They rolled over to the edge of the roof with the ice ninja pinned under Sector.

"Sub-Zero!" the three others yelled in unison and ran over.

"I won't be turned into ice and destroyed alone! I'll take you with me!" Sector jumped off the roof, just as his legs froze over, and pulled Sub- Zero with him.

"NO!" Zero yelled and ran as fast as he could to the edge of the roof. He reached out to grab his brother but . . . it was too late. His hands only caught air.
