A Mortal Honeymoon PART 2

A Good night's rest was welcomed with open arms as the two lovers Liu and Kitana finished their first whole day on this cruise ship for their honeymoon which had been going very well to say the least. Besides the brief altercation with a thug, The two had enjoyed romantic dinners, fun filled games, lustful make out sessions…as well as 'other' private sessions and even a light hearted, fun filled try at rapping during a 'kouples karaoke' competition. They didn't win the event, but their very 'ambiguous' lyrics were of some major talk around the boat.

Unfortunately since the day had ran long, they did not get back to their room until well over midnight. They planned on sleeping in for the morning but Liu wanted to get in his early morning exercises. Kitana offered to sleep in this time. Since being with Liu, Kitana had somewhat began to take things alittle easier. Normally, she would rise at an earth time of 5 am and get straight to business, but since no real major issues had erupted, and the royal meetings were of no real concern to the point where it was mandatory, She had been sleeping in these past few months, now she'd wake up at 5:30.

This morning was one she decided to sleep in on. Liu was always an early riser and even on vacation it was no different.

Liu got into his workout gear and before leaving, kissed his beloved sleeping wife on the crown of her head. Leaving her side pained him especially since they had been getting so intimately close these past few months even before their marriage, but it would only be for an hour or so as he kept himself in top physical condition and these days not just for himself but for his lover.

Liu traveled through the hall and down the elevator as he made his way towards the workout facility. On his way he noticed a very peculiar thing, the halls which he traveled were all empty. Normally their would be a few of the guest wandering around the ship, ship attendants at the entrance of each floor, but oddly enough, no one was present.

"Hmm, I wonder where everyone is? Hmph" he pondered looking around at the emptiness of the Grande hallway. He arrived at the workout room still in awe at the sudden disappearance of everyone. No one was even in the workout room. Every weight set was unoccupied, the large track had no runners or joggers and the pool had absolutely no swimmers what so ever. At first Liu began to just think maybe it was rather early not many people he knew rose at such time but even the day before there were quite a few people active, even at 5 in the morning.

Liu went about his business and started his workout which lasted about thirty minutes before his curiosity got the better of him about the absence of everyone. He left his towel and water bottle and took a look around the rest of the floor. With each minute he began to worry because he had not seen anyone since his wife. Liu decided to take the stairs for some random reason; perhaps his instincts told him, he never denies them at all and there was a tug at him that something was not quite right. With this thought he remained somewhat mildly cautious as he ventured down to the next level of the ship.

He took a peak through the entrance from the stairs to the 6th floor windowed door. From the corner of his eye he spot a little girl and a man beside lying on the floor with their faces down, as he started to adjust his glance, he spotted more and more people, some were on the floor others were facing the walls being frisked by men in admittedly nice black and grey dress suits.

{What's going on here…} he concerningly thought to himself. Was this a stick up or a robbery he thought and if so, how would he handle it or for that matter should he? Before liu considered action he took a bit more care to find out more information about what exactly was going on here. He noticed the men in suits were equipped with guns, big and small alike

{Who are these guys?} he continued to ponder to himself looking in great precision at the mobsters. They were for now just chatting and occasionally mildly shoving and kicking the passengers they held hostage.

"I hope kitana's okay, I don't know what's going on here but…I must find out" Liu whispered to himself as he then began to strategize a plan of attack…or escape.

Suddenly he heard a small whisper close by. His eyes began to ponder around looking for the source when the voice came again,

"Hey…over here" The voice came from a vented small door. Liu quickly ran to the door as quietly and covertly as he could. He entered it and found a scared man inside.

"Hey whats going on?" Liu asked. "These men, they're taking the whole ship hostage floor by floor" the man revealed, much to liu's fear.

"Where are the police?" He then inquired, "They're dead, they shot them all, all the security…somehow, i-I think these guys are…mobsters".

"Do you know why they're taking the place hostage?" Liu asked, "I don't know, th-they said something about stolen money or something I cant follow it all, Please help me, please!" the frightened man pleaded to the Champion of Mortal Kombat.

"Hold on, I don't really know what I do right now, but I need you to just stay here and keep quite" Liu said trying to calm the scared panicking man.

"If you do get caught, don't let them know about me, okay, I think I can get some help but you need to stay here, im guessing you don't have a mobile phone do you?" Liu pondered thinking that would be ideal and of course it would, unfortunately however…

"I do bu-" the man started before Liu interrupted, "Well what are you waiting for!" Liu loudly whispered

"BUT…I have no signal and the battery is almost dead…I would go to another spot with signal but, well…im scared…" he concluded, still greatly frantic.

"A fact well known, sir…" liu said, annoyed by how scary this man was. Sure this was a scary situation but this man was bit too scared which was surprising considering his big frame.

"Okay, give me the phone, ill try to get into some signal and maybe I can try to call the police, but you need to stay here and if they do catch you, as I said, do not let them know of me. Now im gonna try to get help"

"No, no don't leave me, please man, please" the man said as he frantically grabbed Liu's shit like a scarred little girl much to Liu's discomfort.

"L-let go!" Liu sternly whispered trying not to get caught by the mobsters that were only a few feet away. Liu and the scared man began a small scuffle while Liu was trying to get out of the small room while the man kept pulling him back in. If any mobster around would have turned about, Liu would have surely been caught. He was right outside the door looking as if he was shoving someone in the small closet like room, but fortunately, this did not catch anyone's attention.

"Ge- get in there! Get in there!" Liu said trying to be stern but as quite as he possibly could successfully shoving the man back into the small room and closing the door. Liu sighed briefly as he then made his way to his previous spot and hid while glancing from the corner to make sure no one saw him much to his relief no one caught his brief scuffle with that odd man.

{Oh great, a stick up, just what I wanted for breakfast} Liu thought to himself as he cleared his mind of recent 'events' to focus on the what was priority, these hostages and this syndicate of sorts.

{Taking these guys out at once while they're armed is going to be pretty tough…best to take them out one at a time…time consuming but, better safe than sorry…} Liu continued to strategize in his mind, his number one source of privacy and covertness. He then thought of his wife who he had not seen since well over an hour now.{kitana I hope your okay}

Pacing around her room, Kitana continued to look up at the ceiling clock as 2 hours passed by since Liu left. He was never gone for this long, not for a morning work out. She was beginning to worry. After another 30 mins she decided to try to find where he had gone. It had been almost 3 hours and Liu was a no show, which was not like him at all.

Kitana then took her room key as well as her trusted steel fans which was well hidden amongst her wardrobe and decided to search for him. As she stepped out she noticed a small suitcase in front of the door. She began to ponder what It was doing here and who left it here.

She almost began to give into temptation and see what was inside but her better judgment told her it was not her business and not her place to open it. She then decided she would take it to the front desk on their level of the cruise. As she began to walk down the hall, she noticed it was unusually deserted. Normally quite a few people would be roaming the hall to their destinations: a room, the cafeteria, the pool, but absolutely no one was in the hall but her. Kitana saw this as something potentially bad and as she thought that, her worries shifted abruptly to Liu and if this could be the cause of his absence this long.

Kitana made her way down the hall cautiously as her instincts told her and they were correct. From the corner of the eye as she was about to turn the corner of the hall, she noticed 2 tall built men with firearms in thier possession. She stayed where she was and backed up just slightly on the wall. She then tried to hone in on who the man was talking to and what about as she occasionally glanced at the two.

"Ive checked that floor, we got everybody out and down stairs…" one of the men said.

"Okay good, we goin find that money, the boss ill shoot up everyone here to find that money, speaking of which, is the getaway boats ready"

"Ready and waitin'" the other replied, "Good, cause I don't wanna be nowhere near when the police arrive"

This shocking revelation put kitana slightly on edge. But as she was use to, she thought quickly of some kind of strategy in situations like this. But her thought once again shifted towards her husband…{Oh no liu! What if he's…I have to do something…}

But unknown to her, her husband was just fine…for now…

{Alright, that's 10 guys down…and…a lot more to go, at least until I get to this big boss they mentioned} Liu thought to himself after taking down the unarmed men in the emergency staircase. Liu reached in his pocket and pulled out the cell phone he had gotten from that strange man to see if he was near any kind of signal, unfortunately he wasn't. He then heard a groggy man awakening from his brief unconscious state courtesy of Liu. Liu then thought that he would just interrogate one of those men and force them to tell him where this big boss was.

Liu quickly went over to the man and gabbed him by his suit jacket collar, "You! Answer me, what are you and your gang members doing on this ship? Why have you taken everyone hostage?" Liu demandingly asked

"Argh…we..were lookin for the money" he replied

"What money!"

"Th-The boss' money, somebody…stole it…" he revealed,

"Where is your boss?" Liu inquired

"He-He's on deck level…"

"Thank you for your co op"

"Heh, Fool, you aint gonna get to him, he got numbers, you aint but one guy, we took over a whole cruise, hehaha, what are you going to do, bruce?" the man taunted

"If I had a dollar every time…and im not bruce…" Liu concluded has he struck a punch to the beaten man's face, "WAPPAAA!", which knocked him out cold.

"Alright he's on the main deck level, im a fool if I think I can take these ALL guys without some arsenal…" Liu said to himself. Just then he looked around and amongst the beaten men laying around, there were also quite a few weapons on the ground. Liu thought he might be able to use them, which was probably the smart thing.

"I may be a shaolin monk and the champion of mortal kombat…but im also packing serious heat! *Breaks forth wall -"And im not talking about my Fire blasts…" *Cocks the 1911

"Oh Man, two bullets…eh, that's better then nothing, some of these guns dot have anything at all. All of these rounds and they couldn't even hit little old me" Liu slightly mocked.

Liu equipped himself very carefully with his new found arsenal, having two shoulder holster, a belt holster and a leg holster filled with glocks and 1911 semi auto pistols. His biggest weapons however were the two rifles he had in hand which had quite a few rounds left in them. One was a M4 A1 with scope and the other was the good ol' AK-47 no stocks attached and also a few spare mags he took well advantage of.

"I guess I can reload and add to my arsenal once I take out the other mobster…" just then Liu thought of his beloved wife Kitana, {I hope your okay honey…and if I don't see you again…I love you, but I gotta get this done}.

And with that, Liu formed a more serious mug and held up his two rifles as he kicked down the front emergency door and yelled out "It time for some TOTAL CARNAGE!"

"OKAY OKAY!" a mobster cried out in serious pain has he eyed the knifed fans eager to pierce through his skin at any given moment. "All I know Is that he's looking for a case full of dough" he divulged, much to Kitana's confusion.

"Dough?" she questioned looking to him awkwardly

"Y-yea the cheese…" he answered

"Your boss is…looking for…a case of dough and…cheese?" she asked looking at him very awkwardly, and who could blame her…what tyrant holds innocent people captive for…'cheese?' But this wasn't any ordinary 'cheese'…

"Lady are you a fuckin idiot-AHGUUHHH!" the man cried in agony as his snarl was met with the blades of Kitana's fan being that much closer to going through his neck. They had already began piercing the flesh with blood noticeably beginning to leak like a faucet.

"So your boss has taken this Ship captive for dough and cheese! Seriously?" she smirked

"No lady…he's lookin for the money! Doe, cheese, bread, paper, its all the same, MONEY!" he cleared up for her.

"Earthrealm's terminology…now money is being called cheese and bread…" she said shaking her head in shame. Suddenly a thought dawned on her and she looked towards the suitcase she still had, "Hey…what a minute…This wouldn't happen to be the money would it?" she asked him.

Before he could even answer, "Open it! she sternly demanded, pressing the blades of her fans even closer deepening the already pierced wound in his neck.

"Uhggh, What me!"

"Yes, open this case…now" she sternly repeated

"Uh..okay" he obliged as she let off of him just enough for him to unzip the suitcase but not without cautious words for him,

"If you try to escape, you wont get two feet before your head leaves your body" she warned "uhh, you really were serious when you said that rap wernt you?" the man half joked

"I sure was and i show no hesitation, in fact im still cant get over the joyful screams of your friend's decapitation..." she smirked

Her deviously twisted and disturbing comment left the man stricken with immense fear because he knew she was most likely right, as evident by another mobster she struck down prior to their engagement, the one from the last decapitation...

He unzipped the medium sized suitcase and sure enough, it was filled with stacks of 100 dollar bills neatly in place and filled to the tip of the suitcase.

"Hey yea, this is it, You had the money all along?" he then accused her. "Huh, no, I found it; it was in front of my door, someone put it there." She explained

"Oh, Well now you can return it to him and uh perhaps let me..go?" he attempted to insinuate, to which Kitana had something else in mind "Hmm…" she murmured

"2 Uzis, another glock, three grenades all fully loaded…I feel like, like I need to be on the special forces with Sonya and Jax…id fit right in if they saw me now" liu chuckled as he admired his "war attire".

Liu hand now gotten to the lower levels after successfully fending off various mobsters, but since Liu was still insistent on not killing any of them, he only gave most of them flesh wounds to incapacitate them at least. Most of the hostages were on the main level anyway and others on the higher floors were getting rounded up but thanks to Liu, they could for a brief moment breath easy. Liu told them all to stay put and he even gave a few of the men, weapons to fend off any left over mob, though he was certain he took care of them all on the upper levels.

Now however, Liu was about to enter the main floor. This was were the supposed 'big boss was as were most of the cruise's passengers and no doubt most of this bosses muscle.

Liu proceeded with extreme caution down the emergency stairs. He could only hope no one heard him or the gunfire on the previous levels where he engaged in brief shoot outs. On top of everything else, the phone he acquired still had little signal and the battery meter was blinking to which Liu assumed that meant it could die any moment. None of the passengers had phones because they were all taken up. He had still needed to contact some kind of authority or send some sort of SOS signal. Since he was very unfamiliar with cruises he didn't really know how to go about that sort of situation without some sort of active phone to dial the police.

He had to take matters into his own hands and so far, he was doing a very good job, he even admittedly found it a bit fun, although his life and the lives of others were still at stake.

But now Liu was closer than ever, he was right at the doors that lead to the main deck floor. Out of the small cylinder shaped window, he could see the hostages all kneeling on the ground with their hands over their head in a similar fashion to tornado drill procedures.

Liu could also hear loud chattering from almost every one of the mobsters. This was going to be tough, how could he take them all out without hurting any of the hostages? It was an issue alright but he looked around to see if there had been any kind of distractions available. After about 10 safe minutes of thinking, he formed an idea, it was risky but he had faith enough in his plan to attempt it.

"HEY! MOBSTERS!" Liu suddenly yelled. Everyone including the hostages looked puzzled at first from the sudden words, then they began searching for its source.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" One of the tall mobster yelled trying to figurte out where it came from.

"Who the hell was that! Who was it?" A barrel stomached man barked as he looked all around for where the voice came from. His men then soon started searching the era nearby. They all started wrecking the place; shooting up tables, chairs, and windows to see if any one would come out, but no one did.

"HEY PUNKS, IM OUT ON THE DECK AND IM LOADED!" Liu yelled as his voice appeared to in fact be coming from outside of the deck,

"I TOOK CARE OF YOUR GUYS UPSTAIRS…MOST OF THEM ANYWAY, IT'S A REAL SHAME, I NEVER RESORT TO VIOLENCE LIKE THIS; IT IS AGAINST ME, THAT'S WHY I ONLY GAVE YOUR MEN FLESH WOUNDS. BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO HURT INNOCENTS FOR GREED AND ALL OF WHAT YOU DO, THEN I MUST DO WHAT I DO! IM SURE THERE ISNT ONE OF US THAT DOESN'T WANT TO BE SOMEPLACE ELSE, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE DO, WHO WE ARE. LIVE FOR NOTHING OR DIE FOR SOMETHING, YOUR CALL!" Liu boldly stated as he couldn't help but give a slight silent giggle at what he just said.

"What is this guy, fucking Rambo or somthin?" The boss asked sarcastically, looking around at his men.

"YOU GOT MY MONEY CHUM!" he blurted

Liu waited for just a moment and the replied "…YEA I GOT IT, YOU JUST TELL YOUR GUYS TO DROP THEIR WEAPONS AND FREE THESE HOSTAGES, THEN COME OUT TO THE DECK, ITS OUT HERE. IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT I SAY, THEN THE MONEY GOES OVER, LIKE I SAID AND AS PROOF, HERE IS A 100 DOLLAR STACK RIGHT HERE…IT LOOKS NICE, I WONDER IF FISH NEED MONEY…" Liu threatened. Although no one could see Liu, he thought he could make his idle threats sound convincing enough for the mob to take it seriously and release the hostages, but the boss was seemingly smarter than that…seemingly.

"NO, No, No,! ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! TAKE IT EASY CHUM!" he quickly shouted

"NOW THEN, LETS DISCUSS THIS LIKE MEN, NO NEED FOR YOU TO THROW MY MONEY OUT, SO I GOT A BETTER IDEA" the chubby boss started before he began whispering to his men of 15,

"Hey you all, go to the doors of the deck quietly and surround it, do let him see you, then ill lure that fucker in here, one of you take the money and then blast that fucker" he told them, "No, no, no, you stay here Percy" he objectingly said as he pushed Percy behind himself. He couldn't have all his men there and no one protecting him.

The mob boss continued, "SO HOW ABOUT, YOU GIVE ME MY MONEY AND SHOW YOURSELF, OR I KILL A HOSTAGE…I THINK THAT FAR OUTWEIGHS YOUR SUGGESTION DON'T YOU THINK? I MEAN SINCE YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THEM, RIGHT?" the boss suggested, trying to proceed with his plan.

"DON'T DO THAT…" Liu paused, "IF I SHOW MYSELF, WILL I LIVE?" Liu asked "YEA SURE, JUST GIVE ME MY MONEY AND YOU WON'T SEE US AGAIN, I PROMISE" the boss smirked

"WILL YOU LET THE HOSTAGES GO TOO, IF YOU HAVE YOUR MONEY, NO NEED TO KEEP THEM HOSTAGE ANYMORE RIGHT?" Liu continued

"YEA…THAT'S RIGHT, SO JUST GIVE ME MY CASH…AND ILL LET YOU PASS" he smirked.

"WELL…OKAY THEN…FAIR ENOUGH" Liu seemingly obliged.

"HERE YOU GO!" Liu shouted as he dove into the room from the emergency side door throwing towards the deck a 3 second grenade, which he explosion caught all of the mobsters standing by and what was perfect was that they weren't anywhere near the passengers. The shock waves from the explosion left nearby people a bit disarray but not injured in the least which is what liu was counting on.

Still loaded with light weapons such as his 1911s and one glock, he held up the boss at gun point.

"W-WHAT THE UHHA" the boss grunted trying to get up as he noticed the gun pointed towards him "You sneaky son of a-"

"Hey you were being sneaky too" Liu interrupted

"How did you do that, I thought for sure you were on the deck?" he inquired

"Just alittle voice projection talent I had as a Kid…" Liu smirked "Look, I don't have your money but I don't think you'll need it where your going…" he continued.

Percy! Do something! " the boss demanded, but his guard was no where to be found. It seemed as if he had abandoned his boss and left him for dead.

"Aggh" the boss bawled as he looked to liu angrily, then Liu's face looked familiar to him, "No wait…I recognize you, you're the rappin Chinese guy with that woman last night, yea" he said, much to liu's slight shock.

"Oh im going to kick your muthafukkin ass, Cmon," the boss sneered as he put up his dukes looking for Liu to fight him. Liu recognized his fighting stance almost instantly,

"Hmm, muay thai?"

"Yea, yea that's right" the boss nodded, "and it aint no American kickboxing bullshit, this is straight from the source".

Liu looked slightly amused at the poor heavyset man. He didn't give up, liu gave him that much, but it was enough to where liu discarded his firearms and traded them in for the weapon he was born with, the human body.

"Very well then, Show me what you can do…" he chuckled slightly.

The two started circling each other; Liu was being more defensive and trying to see what skill the man had possessed. Liu had no intention of attacking the man. The heavy set boss tried landing a few well aimed jabs and knee strikes, but he wasn't quite fast enough to keep up with liu who had just been toying with him, much to the mobster's frustration.

"Your good…you just need some speed and focus…anger doesn't help either unless you know how to channel it" Liu pointed out as they continued.

"Im not losin to you!" the boss shouted in anger as he ignored Liu's words and attempted another strike at liu's face which was unsuccessful.

"You can't win, surrender its over" Liu urged

"Go SPIT!" the boss snarled as he started gasping. He was getting tired now. He had become even slower and his attacks were becoming sloppy, he could not keep up with Liu and the scuffle had only lasted about 3 minutes at most. He knew it was over, but his stubbornness kept getting the best of him.

"Recognize this?" Liu asked taking out a mobile device the boss recognaized, "My…my phone..?" What is this guy, fucking Rambo or somthin?

"Yea, been looking for one of these, your guys cut the cords off the lobby phones and the phone I did have died, but yours works, got it from you just now"

"No it doesn't…mines dead too…" he said trying to trick liu, but liu was smarted than that, he couldn't be tricked so easily. "Don't give me that, I saw you talking on it before I raided you guys."

"Shit…" the mobster mumbled.

"See, when you do bad things , you always lose in the end…Now then-"

Just as Liu was about to dial the police he caught from the corner of his eyes two mobsters with AK 47s. He started to make a run for cover behind a desk nearby and although the champion was fast, the bullets were faster and a few caught Liu in his lower right leg and thigh. Liu was down and there was no escape for him now. After everything that happened and all the trouble he had gone through to help; now he was now helpless. None of the hostages had any courage to stand up to the two men or the boss now and although some tried, they were put right back in their place.

The two limping men began walking towards Liu as he lay on the ground with his leg bleed profusely. His only thought then was Kitana, and where she was and if she was okay, he didn't even care about himself at that point, just of his wife. In his heart he knew she was safe but was she nearby?, or had she too been captured. His thoughts were interrupted by the snickering rough voice of the mobster boss feeling ever so joyful, "Good timing boys…".

Percy, the other mobster also revealed himself after his time spent hiding cowardly behind a desk was put to an end once things began going in his favor, he too then joined the other two mobsters, getting out his AK and pointing it at liu.

"Yea, now what! You punk…" the boss taunted Liu as he cowardly kicked him in the face. "In the end, you lose!"

"Kill em now boss?" Percy asked

"Wait, wait…don't kill him yet…" he grinned, "He may know where my money is, so chin…where is it?" he asked Liu.

The pain ridden Liu turned himself over facing the mobsters still trying to move around. He looked like he could have been a blood covered zombie just crawling on the ground in his own blood looking for flesh to eat. He was totally incapacitated.

"I told you…i…don't..know!" he yelled in pain.

"Oh yea, well maybe your woman knows…" Percy blurted

"Where is she?" the mob boss interjected. Liu remained silent with his eyes fixed on the mobsters who could kill him at any second and his face full of fear and immense pain.

"You know what, Kill him…"the mob boss simply said with a smile. Liu gulped the saliva that went up his throat as he thought {not again…}. He did not close his eyes or cringe at the thought of facing death, instead he kept his glare at them all and prepared himself…this had not been the first time he died but he knew the risks of being a hero and he accepted it knowing that it was to protect the people he care about.

Suddenly, a Sharp, fancy designed steel fan penetrated the right hand of one of the mobsters as his gun dropped and nearly his own partly dismembered hand. A feminine voice then went through the airwaves issuing a warning, "I'd step away from him if I were you…"

There Kitana was, standing in front of the deck doors with a suitcase in one hand and two steel fans in the next.

"Hey that's her, there she is!" Percy shouted as they all looked to her.

"There's my MONEY!" the mob boss came in immediately afterwards

"She had it!" Percy then accused, but He had no idea what Kitana had been up to in the past hour since this whole incident.

"No, you planted this on me" she sternly objected

"What! You're lying!" he countered

"Really? I saw a security footage…I was very eager to know how this bag got in front of my room. When I saw you in the video, I knew you had something planned, probably revenge for me showing you up the other day." She contended.

"LYING BITCH!" He snapped, trying to defend himself, but the damage was done,

"You stole my money, Percy…?" the boss calmly questioned him.

"No, no boss, she's lying" he replied desperately trying to cover the truth. You could say what you want about this mob boss but if he was no fool when it came to anything money related.

"It makes sense, you wanted revenge for her kicking your ass…and on me." He concluded.

"No!" he bellowed desperately

"DO YOU THINK IM STUPID!" the boss Yelled fiercely as he took the AK from one of his men and pointed it at Percy with his trigger finger ready and waiting.

"But wait, I mean you were gonna get the money back anyways once I found the girl, you would have gotten the money and you would have killed the girl, I just wanted her dead anyway so, it all would have worked out anyway!" he tried to explain but as far as his hot boss was concerned, the words from his mouth were as shit from ass.

The boss looked as if he could blow any minute. His whole money laundering scheme was thwarted mainly because of his own man.

"WAIT NO!" Percy continued his bellowing, as his boss walked more towards him with the gun pointed at him.

"THAT…Was Your Last Fuck Up, Percy, the boss calmly said as a barrage of bullets shot at him, killing Percy almost instantly.

"And if you, your boyfriend or anyone of these people don't wanna be next, get outta the fuckin way!" he said turning towards Kitana.

{Kitana, please don't do anything stupid or heroic, just do as he says} liu thought in his mind hoping that his wife doesn't "try anything" and much to surprise, she didnt

"Okay then…" Kitana obliged as she stepped from the path of the open deck.

{Thank the gods}, Liu thoughtfully sighed.

The boss and his two men gathered up the rest of their money and belongings and quickly headed towards the deck attempting to lower the lifeboats and make some sort of escape. The boss has previously made a call for someone to come get them once they made off the ship with their money, unfortunately…

"FREEEZE! YOU THREE! DROP THE WEAPONS!" Shouted a Navy officer as more and more began to reveal themselves on the deck. The sounds of helicopters could be heard and boats could be seen from beyond the deck. The mobsters had been thwarted and there was no escape. Their short reign of terror was put to an end thanks to the heroic efforts of Liu and Kitana.

"AWWWHHGH!" the boss cried as he fell to his knees and lifted his hands in surrender as did the others who were with them.

All the passengers were relieved to know the Navy arrived and the ones who had loved ones aboard all took the time to relish in the fact that none of them were hurt, except for Kitana, who rushed to the injured liu's side.

"Hey…What…took you so long…" Liu lightly joked as he looked up to Kitana who was knelt beside him. "Oh liu, are you okay?" she worriedly asked her injured husband with tears coming from her eyes.

"Ill live…im just glad you're okay though…" he lightly smiled, placing a hand on her wet cheeks wiping them clean. Kitana then felt a hand over her shoulder which belonged to the medical doctor, "Cmon ma'am, we've got to get him attention immediately"

She immediately stepped aside and let the doctors get him onto a stretcher and secure him into the ambulance. Kitana began to be bombarded with police but she tried her best to ignore them to be with her husband on the helicopter that was to take him to the nearest hospital. She rushed her way through and boarded the large copter with Liu.

" Liu im so sorry" she cried holding liu's hand

"Sorry for what, sweetheart?" his light voice inquired through his oxygen mask.

"This is my fault, I should have did you what you said and ignored that man Percy, I..i ruined our honeymoon-

"Stop right now!" liu interjected sternly, as he looked to his sorrowful wife.

"None of this is your fault, you hear me? She simply tiled her watered face and didn't answer him,

"Hey, look at me" he said gently holding her head up by her chin, "We couldn't have predicted what was going to happen here, we didn't know this boat was full of mobsters or that guy's motives or me getting shot and I absolutely will not tolerate you saying that was your fault. None of this was your fault, none of it, you hear me?" he sternly assured her.

"You saved my life today…as well as the others on that boat, and I thank you…I really do sweetheart…but I did bloody tell you" he teased, which caused her to turn her frown upside down and give that sexy giggle he loved. Hearing him speak those words and seeing him in such high spirits even in his condition brought immense warmth and comfort to Kitana's heart and mind and reminded her of why she loved him so much.

"You always know how to cheer me up don't you, even in times like this" she smiled as she cupped his cheek and kissed him lightly on his cheek since his mouth was covered by the air mask.

"Well hey…just the person I am…and besides, its not over yet, we have to get to our destination first then the real honeymoon begins…though, It probably wont turn out like I would have wanted but…ill be with you…and that's all that matters to me" he smiled

"Me too" she replied as she came towards Liu to somehow fit in a loving hug and kiss,

"I love you so much…" she said

"i….i, kitana…I" he coughed, "Liu, liu are you okay!" she frantically asked

"I..can't….i" he tried to say

"Doctor! Something's happening to him! I think he's suffocating! Do something!" she panicked.

The Doc then notices the 'problem' and pointed it out to her, "How about you get off his air tube, I think that might help, I mean what do you think?" he said sarcastically.

"Oh by the gods..im sorry Sweetie…" Kitana jumped as she lifted he knee off his air tube.

"That's..thats okay dear, just uh, stay clear of me until we reach the hospital" he jokingly suggested.

"Okay…" she nodded as she moved back alittle bit making sure she wasn't around or on any life support systems. "I love you" she said once more

"I love you too…"Liu replied once more

"Aww isn't that sweet" the nearby doctor said, "so you guys took out all those mobsters back on the cruise, huh?

"Yea" Liu affirmed

"Wow, you guys must be some top notch fighters or assassins or something to do that" he praised the two.

"You could say that…" Liu slightly boasted, in which the doc slightly laughed before things got quiet.

"Oh Kitana, how did you notify the navy anyway, i couldnt find a phone anywhere that was working" Liu inquired of his wife.

"Well, thanks to one of those mobster men i had threatned, he had a phone on him so, I dialed the authorities and they sent who was closest which was their Naval forces. He's also the one who led me to the security room so i could know what happened during the hostage raid and who was responsible for leaving the money at our room door" she explained. "And all that time, i was worried about you" Liu chuckled as did Kitana. after a few moments a curious thought came to Liu's mind and he then turned to his wife,

"Hey, you didnt uh, kill any of them did you?" Liu concerningly inquired of her. "You should rest dear, save your strength" she gently 'replied'. Liu raised his brow, "Kitana..." he quietly grumbled to which she only shushed him, "rest dear".

"Hey Jones?" the doc shouted to the man in the passenger seat of the copter,

"Yea?"

"Turn on some music or something, still kinda quite in here" he asked

"Right…" the man replied as he turned on the radio to see what tunes were playing. One particular tune shot through the air waves and kitana took note of its familiarity.

"Hey, I know this song" she blurted in joy.

"Well, we still got a ways to go so, well how bout you kids tell me about yourselves, Where you from lady?" the Doc asked Kitana who then raised an eyebrow and gave a grin as she looked towards Liu who did the exact same thing, "Tell em' where you from honey" Liu smiled with an added wink.

With that, Kitana followed up on cue to the beat, and began spitting her infamous lyrics,

"…Im commin Straight out Edenia!"...
