Chapter 11
Sub-Zero was having a tough time finding his brother in this strange world, ever since he and Smoke split up he had to deal with quite a number of Outworld warriors trying to either bar him access to certain areas, trying to capture the Lin Kuei ninja, or just try to kill the intruder wandering in their master's domain. But the young Sub Zero had very little trouble dealing with these annoyances and after freezing a couple of guards he then looked around the room he was in. The room was big that was for sure with a demonic head with tentacles attached to it flailing around and green energy was in its mouth Sub-Zero felt uneasy with the green energy in the center of the room he felt something 'unnatural' coming from it. "I should keep moving. I don't want to stay here anymore then I should." Just as the frozen Lin Kuei warrior was about to leave he saw something coming towards him. It looked like a golden ball of some kind when Sub-Zero dodged it the ball exploded.
Sub-Zero looks back and sees a golden cyborg walk up to him, but when he hears it's voice he is filled with dread "Tundra, You are ordered to return to the Lin Kuei Temple to begin your assimilation." The golden cyborg said in a familiar voice "No it can't be…..Cyrax is that you? What have they done too you?!" The cyborg once known as the man Cyrax replied "This Lin Kuei unit is designated L-K-4-D-4. You will come with me for your assimilation." Sub-Zero sighed and said "I'm sorry for what they did to you my friend…but I can't leave. Not until I find my brother." He then got into a fighting stance and Cyrax did the same. Cyrax charged first throwing a fist at his opponent, but Sub Zero dodged the attack and grabbed the offending arm and threw him over his shoulder and onto the ground. Zero then tried to stomp on his head only for Cyrax to roll to the side and use his leg to sweep Sub Zero of his feet which he succeeded on the ground Cyrax jumped up and tried to land on his opponent and when he did he found himself frozen solid. Sub Zero then appeared next to the cyborg and using his powers created ice gauntlets to deal with his metal foe and gave him a punch to the face knocking him to the ground again, but freed him from the ice.
The frozen warrior ran up to the cyborg assassin and the two of them began to trade blows. While Cyrax was faster than Zero thanks to his 'upgrade' and he was able to get a couple of hits to his opponent's ribs, and torso. But Sub Zero was able to fake him out and was able to make counterattacks that as a cyborg he couldn't predict, and he was able to get a several hits to his metal opponent before he kicked them away. Cyrax then stood up and fired a green energy net from his chest trapping Sub Zero in it, Zero was able to create an Ice knife and was able to cut himself free and move out of the way before Cyrax could run up an to him and punch him while he was down. When he got back up Sub Zero fired an Ice blast freezing the cyborg, he then used an ice slide to get near him and he uppercuts him into the air. Zero then jumps up and delivers several punches before doing a drop kick in the air using his enemy as a spring board and preforming a back flip where he lands on his feet, the same could not be said for Cyrax. The cyborg got back up and began to fire grenades at him from his chest but Sub Zero jumped into the air and tried to hit him with a dive kick only for Cyrax to grab him by the foot and spin him around and smash him to the ground. Cyrax then tried to stomp on him, but Sub Zero fired an ice ball hitting him and freezing him again he then backed flipped and used an Ice sword to cut Cyrax up getting through his tough armor and on the last slash he was sent back a couple feet.
Sub Zero then said "Cyrax I know the real you is still in there, you don't have to do this fight against your programming." Cyrax then responded with "This unit's mission is to bring the escaped Lin Kuei back for cyberization." He then attacked him again while Sub Zero blocked, dodged and counterattacked all the while trying to reason with his friend "Cyrax you're stronger than this, you can fight against your orders. You are a man not a machine." Cyrax then stopped his punch midway and Sub Zero pushed kick him away. Cyrax didn't resume his attack he then grabbed his head and said "Must…bring…Lin Kuei back….for." Sub Zero then said "You were against the Cyber Initiative, You even helped most of us escape from the Grandmaster. You even sacrificed yourself to let Smoke and I get away. You're still in there Cyrax, the man you are is still alive regardless of what the Grandmaster has done to you, fight it." Cyrax tried he started moving sluggishly until he let out a scream and teleported away from the scene. Sub Zero sighed and said "I hope you're able to someday come back to us, Cyrax. You were a good friend."
Sub Zero turned to leave when he heard a feminine voice call out his name, when he turned around he saw a beautiful blond woman and a muscular black man moving towards him "Sub Zero what are you doing here I thought you were with Scorpion and Kratos watching the matches?" the blond replied "I am not the Sub Zero that you know, I'm his brother Tundra. Please I am looking for him the Lin Kuei are rounding up everyone who is against the Grandmaster's plan and are forcing them to become cyborgs. I need to find him so that I can warn him, do you know where he is?" the black man said "Yeah we do, he is with the others at the Coliseum. Come on we can take you…" before Jax could finish his sentence the giant skull in the middle of the room erupted in a green light. As the three warriors covered their eyes they heard a voice say "You have disturbed our regeneration process." Suddenly the warrior known as Ermac appeared before them. Jax then began to try to attack him but he was able to stop the Special Forces agent with his powers. Ermac then lifted Jax into the air and when he crushed his hands and quickly moved them aside Jax screamed in pain as his arms literally exploded in a shower of gory all the way past his shoulders. Ermac let Jax go and he fell to the ground screaming in pain while also losing massive amounts of blood. Sonya rushed to his side and stopped the bleeding by cauterizing his wounds, "Stay with me, Jax." Sonya said while Ermac then turned to Tundra and said "We will break you as well." Tundra got into a battle stance and said "Not if I break you first." Then the battle between the two warriors began. Tundra tried to punch his foes, but Ermac used his powers to lift the Lin Kuei assassin into the air and then harshly slam him down into the ground. Tundra was able to get back up and rushed his opponent and when he was in range he used his Ice sword to slice at Ermac and he then used an upward slash to knock him into the air.
Then Tundra frozen him in midair and grabbed his right leg and slammed him into the ground and he kicked him away. Tundra then rushed him again and unleash several combos on the specter, but when he tried to punch him Ermac teleported from view and attacked Tundra from behind with combs of his own. Tundra then turned around to defend himself and the two of them were in a dance of punching, kicking, blocking and dodging. Tundra then used an Ice clone and when Ermac punched him he was frozen again, Tundra then used his Ice Sword to stab Ermac in the chest before twisting him around himself causing the blade of ice to snap and sending Ermac to the ground. Ermac teleported behind Tundra again, but this time he was ready for him and he used a back kick to push him away when Ermac tried it again he was greeted with an Ice Blast freezing him again "The same trick won't work on me twice." Tundra said as he punched him several times before kicking him away. Before he could recover Tundra then used his Ice slide technique to get close to Ermac then he used his powers to freeze Ermac's stomach and crushed it, he then grabbed him tunic and delivered a serious head-butt to his face knocking him to the ground before he could get back up Tundra stood over him with his right fist encased in ice and hit him so hard his Ice gauntlet shattered knocking him unconscious. Tundra then stood up and said "Looks like I remain whole." He then went to Sonya and Jax and asked "How is your friend?" Sonya looked at him and said "I was able to stop the bleeding in time, but he needs a medic as soon as possible." Tundra then said "There is a portal to the south, you can use it to get back to Earthrealm and get him the attention he needs." Sonya nodded and asked "What about you?" Tundra looked forward and said "I must find my brother and warn him before it is too late." He then ran towards the Coliseum while Sonya picked up Jax's unconscious body and carried him to the portal.
Meanwhile at the Coliseum Kitana was fighting a Shaolin monk prisoner in front of Shao Khan and the other Earthrealm and Outworld warriors. While this was happening no one knew of Sub Zero's younger brother approaching them, Kitana then unleashed a furious combo and was able to knock her opponent to the ground and she then drew her fan ready to finish him before he said "I have failed. I deserve death, go on do it." When he said this Kitana remembered her own words when she lost to Kratos "I have failed my father, you must kill me." Shao Khan then said "What are you waiting for Kitana, kill him." Kitana looked at her father then to the Shaolin monk on the ground and she then looked to Kratos who was watching the entire thing. Kitana found that she couldn't do it "Pathetic." Shao Khan said disgusted and he killed the Shaolin monk himself, when he was screaming in pain Kitana looked away further angering the ruler of Outworld. "Kitana come here now." Shao Khan commanded, Kitana moved towards her father's side and he said "By showing weakness you have dishonored me." Kitana then said "I'm sorry father, but I …" "Silence!" Shao Khan roared "Show that same level of foolishness again and I will make you suffer for it." Kratos heard the entire thing and he was downright pissed that he would torture his own daughter. Tundra then approached his brother and said "Brother I must speak with you." Sub Zero turned around surprised "Tundra what are you doing here?" Tundra then said "There is no time for that. I need to warn you that the Lin Kuei are…." Shao Khan spotted Tundra and said "You there warrior who are you?" Tundra looked at him and replied "I'm known as Tundra and my business here is my own." Shao Khan then looked at Kitana with fury in his eyes "Kitana! How is it that any Earthrealm ninja stands before me, when I sent you my own daughter to intercept them?!"Kitana then said "Father I..." Shao Khan then yelled "Begone! Get out of my sight before I kill you here and now." Kitana was saddened by this and she bows and walks away while remembering Kratos' words "The duty of any father is to protect his child." When she was gone Shao Khan then said "Reptile deal with this pest."
Tundra walked forward and got into a fighting stance and Reptile did the same, Reptile attacked first by firing a ball of acid but Tundra is able to cancel it out with an ice ball. Reptile then ran forward and tried to punch him only for Tundra to block and counter with an uppercut sending him back a little Tundra then tried to kick Reptile only for him to grab his leg and when the reptilian warrior was going to break it Tundra than jumped up and twisted his body in midair to kick him in the head forcing Reptile to let him go. Tundra followed through with the kick and after spinning in the air he was able to land back on his feet and he charged the Outworld fighter, the two of them were exchanging blows dodging and blocking multiple punches and kicks, but Reptile was able to get a god claw swipe in and hit Tundra's face once he wasn't looking at him Reptile became invisible. When Tundra looked forward again he saw his opponent gone, he was on guard waiting for his attacks. Tundra felt attacks coming from the right and the left, under him and above him and he couldn't find a way to tell where he was, Then Tundra came up with a sure way to find him. When Reptile went in for another strike he found himself frozen when he made contact with him Tundra then moved towards the now frozen and very visible Reptile and he used his Ice sword to make several slashes free him from his prison. When Reptile recovered he was still invisible and tried to attack Tundra again but this time the young Lin Kuei blocked his kick and elbowed him in the face, Reptile tried to stab him with his claws but Tundra dodged it grabbed his arm by the wrist and broke his arm by bringing his elbow down on the joint.
Reptile backed away in pain and held his arm, but then he was kicked in the stomach and delivered a haymaker to the face followed by an Ice blast freezing him once again and Tundra did a roundhouse kick knocking him to the ground. When Reptile stood back up his cameo deactivated and he asked "How was it that you could see me?" Tundra then pointed at Reptile, confused the reptilian warrior looked down and saw that his chest and arms were bleeding green blood and the wounds looked like they were made by a blade. Reptile put it together and glared at Tundra who replied smugly "While you might be able to conceal yourself and blend in with your surroundings, once you begin to bleed though anyone can see you as clear as the dawn." Reptile then charged in fury wanting to devour this Earthrealm ninja that made a fool of him, But Tundra blocked his attack by deflecting his punch and retaliating with one of his own that went through Reptile. Tundra then grabbed Reptile's spine and ripped it out along with his skull, he then quickly froze his entire body in ice. Tundra then took a few steps back and then used Reptile's skull and spine like a flail shattering the Outworld warrior's frozen body, Tundra then looked at Reptile's skull and said "I have heard that reptiles hate the cold, you should have realized the outcome when you faced me." He then tossed Reptile's skull towards his frozen remains and was about to return to his brother when suddenly multiple Lin Kuei cyborgs appeared and not only surrounded Tundra but also paralyzed him as well.
At this time Raiden, Johnny Cage and Smoke arrived to see Tundra trapped "Brother!" Sub Zero and Smoke were ready to charge in and save Tundra when Raiden grabbed both of them and said "No it is too late, if either of you go you will be taken as well." Sub Zero then turned to the thunder god furious and said "You expect me to leave my brother at the mercy of these…things! I refuse to let them take him." even Scorpion was ready to help Sub Zero in his time of need as well as Kratos who was reminded of when Ares and Athena came to Sparta and kidnapped his younger brother Deimos believing him to be the child that would one day rise up against the Gods of Olympus and not him. Raiden then said "The flow of time has once again changed, by sparing Smoke this fate I have condemned Sub Zero's brother, Tundra to it instead." Then the cyborg versions of Sektor and Cyrax appeared before Shao Khan "Is that Cyrax, no not him too!" they both bowed before the emperor and Sektor said "Great Shao Khan, we humbly request that we return him to our temple for judgement." Shao Khan looked at Sektor and said "And what will I gain if I grant you this bold request?" Cyrax then answered "The Lin Kuei's loyalty and their services." Shao Khan thought it over and replied "Hmm…Very well, you may take him to do with as you please." The two cyborgs then bowed before Sub Zero yelled "THE ONLY WAY YOU ARE TAKING MY BROTHER IS OVER MY COLD DEAD BODY!" Sub Zero, Smoke, Scorpion and Kratos then charged in to the fray "No you fools stop!" Raiden pleaded only for it to fall on deaf ears. Sub Zero then fired two Ice Blasts from both hands at the group of Cyborgs only for it to be intercepted by other cyborgs that materialized out of thin air. Scorpion drew his twin katana and rushed it to battle cutting down anyone who stood in his way, while Kratos used a combination of the Boots of Hermes to increase his speed and he switched his weapons from the Blades of the Exile to the Nemesis Whip and used the electric weapons to cut through the Cyborgs as well as short circuiting them and Smoke used his powers to teleport other cyborgs out of his way and moved them to either Kratos or Scorpion where they dealt with them.
Sektor said "We should call in more units to capture both Sub Zero and Smoke." Cyrax then remembered what Tundra said about him still being the man he once was and he was able to say "N-no. This unit believes that the capture of Tundra is enough, the sacrifice of more units to capture those two when they have allies doesn't seem to be logical." Sektor calculated the risks and said "I agree let us return home." Tundra then said "Brother help me please, I don't want to be turned." Before any of the four would be rescuers could get to him Sektor, Cyrax and the Lin Kuei cyborgs teleported away along with Tundra. "TTTTTTTTTUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Sub Zero bellowed in anguish and he fell to his knees "Dammit it should have been me." Scorpion then walked up to the sadden Lin Kuei warrior and said "You have my deepest sympathies for the loss of your brother, Sub Zero." Then surprising everyone Kratos then walked up and kneeled down in front of Sub Zero and asked "Your brother's name is Tundra, right?" Sub Zero looked at him and nodded "I too know what it is like to have your younger brother taken away from you. Despite everything you do you to try and save him, you are powerless to do so and he suffers unspeakable horrors because you couldn't safe him. Which is why I make an oath to you Sub Zero. I swear to you that I will not rest until I have rescued your brother, Tundra." Sub Zero looked at him shocked. Scorpion then spoke "I also make the same vow Sub Zero of the Lin Kuei. I too will help you find and rescue your brother." Smoke nodded and said "As will I."
Sub Zero than stood up and looked at Kratos, Scorpion and Smoke and said "I am honor to have such warriors help me with this task." If it wasn't for his mask you would have been able to see Sub Zero have a smile full of hope that they would complete their task and safe Tundra from his fate. Raiden saw this and was happy that Sub Zero would receive help to rescue his brother but on the way here he saw Kitana on the way here and she looked unsure of herself, confused almost "Kitana's faith in her father is like a bent reed within a storm. If it can be uprooted altogether, then perhaps…." Raiden then made his way to find Kitana while Johnny said and said "Yeah sure it isn't bad enough you fuck one person's life up today lets go and crew up another's." he then went to tell the others and he then went after Raiden.
AN: Sorry that this one is also short guys, I think i'm going to take a break from this story for a while. You see when i started this story i didn't think it was going to be all that popular, I'm glad to see that i was wrong and that you guys like it. But one of the reasons I have a problem with this story is that while i know everything about God of War, I don't know shit about Mortal Kombat that and I never had a storyboard to organize my ideas. In fact the only reason i picked up MK9 was because Kratos was in it. So i am going to go on hiatus with this story and look up everything Mortal Kombat on the Wiki sight so that i can get a true feel for the characters as well as create a storyboard for this thing already. I'm really sorry guys but once I know everything about the characters and create a storyboard hopefully i can update this story by making the chapters longer as well as update this story often.
