Beacon Academy: Night

It was late at night, around 10:00 and everyone is all ready settled for the day… except for one individual. Mileena, one might say, the croc faunas was still up. She was wearing a pink shirt, jeans, and comfortable shoes. She's currently at the top of a roof top, eating her dinner. While not having cheeks, Mileena is forced to either eat her food whole, or (like an animal) use her teeth to tear her food apart. This is why she never eats during breakfast nor at lunch time. She's afraid of what she is and afraid of what others think.

"All they should know is that I'm a faunas." She thought. Mileena finished her dinner and headed back to the ground. She threw the empty plate away and sighed. Knowing that no one else is a wake, she did't know what to do. "Now what? I'm not even tired yet." She asked herself.

Having nothing better to do, she divided to head into town.

In the town

"And this was a bad choice." Mileena told herself.

She walked across the sidewalk wondering what to do. The only things that are still open at that hour are clubs and the school and much less Reptile would approve that. Deciding to head back to the academy, Mileena turned around. But when she walked into a corner, she saw a hooded figure running into an alley way. She would've ignored it if it wasn't for the sudden sound of fight. Quickly heading towards the alley, the croc faunas was ready for a fight.

"You thought you could get away from me you worthless bug?" A man questioned, kicking the gut of the hooded woman.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Mileena demanded.

The man stopped kicking the hooded woman and slowly turned around. When he did, MIleena gasped and took step back. The man had two very distinctive features, a red glowing robotic eye, and a red orb on his chest. And the only one with those things is the mercenary Kano, leader of the Black Dragon.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" Kano asked.

"K-K-K-Kano." Mileena said under her breath.

"In the flesh." The mercenary said.

"What are you doing here?" Mileena questioned.

Kano sighed. "Listen darling, I'm in a bit of a hurry so if you can just go back home or else." Kano threatened.

Mileena huffed and took out her sais.

"I will not let someone like you hurt innocent people." She said.

Kano smirked. "You hear that?" Kano asked the woman, who was in pain, "You have a little hero here to protect you." Kano told her.

The mercenary grabbed the orb and turned it. Know the eye and the orb glowed a brighter red.

"Very well then. Let's see what you've got." Kano insisted.

Cybernetic Kano vs. Piercing Mileena

Ready…

FIGHT!

Mileena quickly ran towards Kano, said ready. The mercenary, quickly drew his knifes to block the blades. "You seem strong." Kano commented, "but not smart."

All of a sudden, his red robotic eye glowed brighter and a laser was shot from it, hitting Mileena in the face. She got sent backwards but recovered and threw one of her sais at him. Kano blocked the sai with a knife and turned into a ball and went at her at full speed. Mileena blocked the attack and grabbed him.

She pun him several timed before throwing him into the air, teleported and stabbed her sais on his chest. Quickly getting up, Kano surprised her by punching her in the gut and made her fall to the ground face first. Suddenly, the small explosive that Kano placed on Mileena when he punched her, went off and bended Mileena into the air. Kano chucked at this when she, once again, hit the ground.

Eyes turned red, Mileena teleported into the sky and kicked the mercenary three times in the face and kick flipped him into the air. Not waiting any time, Mileena jumped again and axe kicked him into the ground. Kano slowly got up only to get a flurry of stabs on his stomach. Mileena then jumped on his shoulders and viscously stabbed the mercenary in the chest several time. Kano stumbled a bit and held his stomach, he huffed and threw a knife at Mileena.

Mileena dodged it but was introduced to a flurry of punches and kicked. Kano threw a few more punches and grabbed her by the shoulders. He then head butted her using the metal eye piece and bended her across the alley way. Mileena got up but was unprepared for the following.

Kano slashes his elbow spike at Mileena, turning her around.

X-RAY!

He stabs his knife into the abdomen of and diagonally slices the opponent's ribcage in half. He then grabs the Mileena behind the neck and thrusts her upwards, breaking her spine.

Mileena painfully got up, holding her stomach.

"Give up yet?" Kano asked, drawing his knife out.

Mileena huffed and took of her mask and glared at Kano.

The mercenary didn't seem surprised. "Heh, you really think I would run away just because you are showing your hideous face?" Kano asked.

Mileena growled and teleports.

X-RAY!

She proceeds to kick Kano three times before stabbing her sais into his ears. Keeping a firm grip on the sais, she viciously bites the his forehead, shattering the front lobe. She then rips out the sais and drives them into the mercenary's eyes, sending him flying across the floor.

Mileena Wins!

"And stay down." Mileena instructed, putting her mask back on. She made her way to the hooded woman, who was behind several boxes and in a ball.

"Hey. You ok?" Mileena asked.

"Y-yes." The woman responded.

Mileena tilted her head at the sound of her voice.

"Don't worry, I'll call the police or something so that Kano won't… hurt you." Mileena stopped to see Kano gone.

"Damn it." She muttered. "Here, let me help you." Mileena insisted.

The woman seemed skeptical but accepted her hand. Mileena was weirded out to see that her hand felt rough. She helped the woman up an they both walked to the street. That has when Mileena saw her high heels, or rather feet.

"Thank you." The woman thanked.

"Um, you're welcome." Mileena told her. "I know this is rude but… can you take off the hood?" She asked.

The woman sighed and slowly took the hood back.

Mileena's jaw hit rock bottom at the sight.

Her skin was yellow, and had black marking around her whole body. The lips are black and the heels of her "shoes" are actually spikes coming of from her heels. And the eyes are black and insect like. In fact, it looks like the woman herself is a form of humanoid insect.

"Um… hello?" The woman said, snapping her fingers. Mileena shook her head out from h=the trance.

"Sorry for that. The croc apologized.

"That's not a problem. I know I'm hideous. An abomination." The woman told her.

"I think you look badass." Mileena admitted.

The woman's eyes lit up with glee.

"What's your name? Mine is Mileena." The croc introduced herself.

"D'Vorah." The woman said soon after.

"D'Vorah, I think we should move. If KANO was looking for you, then someone put a big target on your back." Mileena instructed.

"I agree. That's how mercenaries work right?" D'Vorah asked.

Mileena nodded her head.

As they both walked away with the over of the night, someone was watching them from the roof top.

"Mission accomplished." Kano said from his scroll.

"Good, good." A voice said back.

"You sure she won't change sides if she spent to much time with her?" Kano asked.

"D'Vorah is the biggest back stabber out there. Figuratively and literally."

Kano chuckled.

Secret Quan Chi Lab

"I'm done for the rest of the day. See ya tomorrow." Kano said before hanging up.

Quan Chi puts his 'Scroll' away and starts typing stuff in a computer.

"How did it go?" Shang Tsung asked.

"Perfectly." Quan Chi responded.

"I just finished the body and placed it in the freezer." Shang Tsung told him.

"And?"

"It's going well. All we need is her DNA." Shang instructed.

"It makes me glad that Kano didn't kill her all those years ago." Quan said.

"Didn't his partner killed her parents?" Shang recalled.

"It was Erron Black that did. And they were her first set of adoptive parents." Quan confirmed.

"Erron is now a teacher right?" Shang questioned.

Quan Chi nodded his head.

"Who said there wasn't honor amongst thieves." Shang Tsung said before going back to work.

Just then, they heard foot steps coming from behind. They both turned around to see who it was.

"Hello gentlemen." A feminine voice said.

Later that night: Black Dragon secret base.

Kano walked up to the secret entrance of the base.

"Kano, glad you're back." A voice said from behind.

Kano turned around.

"Why hello Tremor." Kano greeted.

Tremor was a tall, muscular man. He was wearing a khaki hood and had a small beard with orange eyes. Other than the hood, he was topless and had military like pants and boots.

"Hello. How was your deal doing?" Tremor asked.

"I'll be collecting the money tomorrow morning. Let me just say that they pay well." Kano admitted.

Tremor smirked. "As all of them do."

They were about to open the hatch until they felt a presence behind them.

"Who goes there?" Tremor questioned, with his arms and chest starting to cover in rock.

From the darkness, a fiery glowing yellow eye walked up. It revealed to be from a woman.

She wore a red dress with interesting glowing designs on the sleeves. The high heels were black and also wore some kind of jewelry on her right ankle. Her hair was black and finally wore a choker.

"No one in particular." She said, taking a step forward. "Just someone looking for something."

"What is this something?" Kano asked.

"Sometime ago, you stole something. A medal." She explained.

"Was it round, gold, and had a green gem in the middle?" Tremor asked.

The woman nodded.

"If you want it, you're going to have to pay." Kano told her.

The woman smiled and two figures walked into the light, a guy and a gal. The girl had green hair and red eyes, the guy had silver grey eyes and hair. They each had a large suitcase and they opened them to reveal a big stash of gold. Tremor's jaw dropped to the ground, and Kano's eye piece popped out of his face. (luckily Kano caught it before it hit the ground)

"Tremor, go get the medal." Kano ordered, drooling over the gold. In the blink of an eye, Tremor came back as fast as he left.

"Here you go." Tremor said, giving the medal to the woman. She smiled at it as a small glow edited from it.

"I heard that the Black Dragon are the best mercenaries in the world." She then said.

"And you are correct." Kano agreed.

"What if I asked for the Black Dragon to be part of a… special project?" She then added.

"It depends. What kind of project?" Kano asked.

The woman looked at the other two who came with her. "Let's just say, you are the best candidate for the job."

What is it that the woman wants? What is the deal with Quan Chi and Shang Tsung's big plan? Find out in the next chapter of this story.
