Chapter 13

John woke up with his face in the water. He made an attempt to get his body out of the water, and his muscles felt so stiff it was as if they hadn't moved in months. He stretched, out his legs, and then slowly got to his feet. He looked around he was left in the watered fighting arena and it was now nightfall. John slowly stood up and started walking back to camp holding his side.

"Fuckin' jerk." mumbled John. "Oh, when I get back to camp you're gonna get one hell of a beating, fucking Smoke." "Yes princess, the Queen has sent a message to the Shokan." said a random female voice from behind the trees. John turned we should expect their reinforcements here within the week." John looked out from the trees and saw two women, one in very revealing green clothes, and another in equally revealing blue clothes. The woman in blue turned around and John could see her face. *Wait a second...* John thought, this woman looked way too familiar. Her hair was longer (her long thick ponytail almost reached the floor) her clothes were blue and not pink, but this woman had the exact same face as the woman who bit into his neck and shoulder. "Let's return to the base, and tell the others the news." said the woman in blue. She started walking toward John. He hid behind the thick tree. "As you wish your highness." *Return to your base, and tell them were we are and bring reinforcements? I think not.* John thought he reached for his tomahawks, but neither were at his hips. He remembered that Millena almost ate one of them, but the other one should still be at his side. The woman in blue walked passed his side, and he drew his survival knife from its sheath. The woman in green, then passed by and John noticed her ponytail wasn't as long as the other woman's but it could still be grabbed. He stepped out from his hiding place, grabbed the woman in green's hair, pulled it back and pressed his knife's saw blades against her throat. She screamed as her head was jerked back. The other woman turned around, saw her friend being held, and screamed "Jade!" and reached for her swords on her legs. "Don't move!" John screamed. "Or I will saw her head off." she then took her hands off of the handles. "Take your hands off of your weapons." the woman raised her hands to the side of her head. "I don't know how you women made it back here." the woman in his arms struggled to free herself but John just tightened his grip on her. "But let me assure you, you will not be getting back out." The woman struggled again, causing John to take his eyes off of the woman in blue. She then reached for two swords on her sides, she threw one at John's face, john released the woman and moved out of its path and it barely missed, she then threw the second one at his feet and it went into the dirt handle first blade sticking out. The woman in green then spun and summoned a staff from what appeared to be thin air, and smacked him in the side of the head with it. "You dare to threaten the Princess of Edenia?!" said Jade. "I will go against anyone who dares to threaten my brother and friends." "You will pay for your insolence." said the princess, taking out 2 more swords. John stood to his feet, raised his knife and said "Then let's go." the woman in green attacked first. She summoned her staff again and went to jab John's nose in, John ducked under the attack and jumped at her with an uppercut, to her chin. The other woman swung her sword at him and John blocked it with his knife and he went to punch the woman right in the nose, but the woman intercepted the punch with her sword, causing John to punch the sword straight on, and causing 5 slashes on his fist. *a five bladed sword?* John thought. *that has to be a personalized weapon* John then felt the green woman slam her staff, into his crotch, hard. Causing him to fall to his knees and have his face directly in front of the first sword's blades, and then the staff on the back of his head and a sword pressed against his neck. "Any last words, Fool?" said the princess. "Kitana! Wait" said a familiar voice from behind him. "Liu Kang?" she responded "He's one of us, let him go." John felt the staff be taken from his head, and the blades be taken from his neck. "We had half of the camp looking for you." said Liu Kang. "She's really a real princess? Like legit royalty?" asked John slowly getting to his feet. "Yes she is." said Jade. "And you will do wise to treat her as such." she said raising her staff to his face. "Liu Kang come in!" said Lt. Sonya Blades familiar voice. Liu Kang pulled out a radio from his pocket "Lt Blade, I found him." said Liu Kang into the radio. "He was... Getting aquatinted with the Edenians." "Get him back here ASAP. We have bad news about Daniel."
