Annabeth POV
Everyone was freed in a few seconds and we found Rachel hiding behind a chair close to the big house.
"Rachel!" Leo screamed, running towards her. Our ginger oracle was flipping in circles when she saw us.
"Oh gods! oh gods! That was awesome!" The ginger girl squealed, hugging each of us. It was hilarious seeing Clarisse keep a straight face and attempting to not punch Rachel, our joyful reunion was pretty short-lived because the revenants returned. Zoe, Bianca and Michael had their bows drawn at us whilst stryker had his handgun. "The sky!" Thalia said, pointing upwards. I smiled with pride, earthrealm has won…but sadly I don't think we'll win this battle. Normally we would go all out with our weapons but unfortunately we were too tired and I've seen the force of Stryker's gun, with only two shots he could obliterate the head of two men. Not only that but reinforcements came but it wasn't for us. A graceful revenant woman dressed in blue stalked out of the portal. I recognised her, it was that Kitana girl that Jax fought back in the netherrealm.
"What happened?" Luke demanded, slowly standing up with the help of Ethan.
"Shinnok was defeated, we need to retreat." Kitana explain, Luke spat on the ground with disgust and annoyance.
"Well then we'll have a few more dead bodies to add to the count since these seven will be nothing but pests to us. Although we'll take the oracle." Castellan casually commented wiping off the blood from his mouth. Rachel pouted but held out her hairbrush.
"Bro, don't even think about it." She threatened, brandishing her weapon (that's if you could call it that). Kitana nodded her head and opened one of the fans she had.
"Your heads will make a lovely addition to our collection." She purred, stalking closer and closer to us. Leo muttered under his breath, something about people and cutting heads off. I let it slide since we were all going to die. The revenant women placed her sharp fan on my neck, forcing me to stare at her dead yellow eyes.
"Annabeth…Chase?" She addressed, as if she was calling out the roll in the classroom.
"Yes, Kitana." I replied, knowing that if I ticked her off, my death would be slow and painful. That's when… the miracle happened, someone began shooting arrows behind us. One of them impaled Kitana's arm, allowing Clarisse to tackle her into Stryker.
"Romans deinceps!" we heard Frank cheer. Several of the roman demigods charged at the revenants but with Bianca's quick summoning, skeletons rose from the ground and distracted our new allies. Sooner or later, it was a battlefield. Several factions like the lin kuei, the party ponies and the nymphs decided to fight. Bianca soon got paler and paler but luckily for her, Kitana caught her before she fell to the ground. Reyna threw a spear in the fan user's direction but it was intercepted by a fan thrown by Kitana. Reyna clicked her tongue with annoyance as she was so close into killing the woman.
"You have much to learn, Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano." Kitana smugly replied before throwing a portal stone.
"They're getting away!" Jason cried but he was intercepted by another skeleton warrior that stood in his way. I did my best to help but three skeletons ambushed me, holding me back. I was the closest but…I couldn't do anything. I felt so useless I couldn't even help Luke the first time. Michael helped Stryker limp towards the portal whilst Nightshade and Luke were the last people to enter through the portal. Luke looked back at Camp halfblood and smirked tauntingly.
"NO!" Percy growled, but he was too late because the portal already closed. All the revenant skeletons crumbled to dust. Leo, who already was swinging his hammer at a skeleton that just crumbled, accidentally hit a Lin kuei ninja instead.
"Oh…sorry man." Valdez apologised, the ninja mumbled some not-so-nice words in what I think was in Chinese…at least I thought it was Chinese.
Normal POV
The greek demigods were sent back to camp and almost immediately everyone were worried about the heroes. Some of the Apollo kids ran to each demigods and tended their wounds carefully. Nico was tended by no other than Will.
"I thought I told you to stop getting into fights." Will scolded, dabbing some ointment on Nico's black eye.
"Well it's not like outworld wasn't prone to having brawls between a ticked-off cowboy and a supposed sun god." Nico grudgingly snapped back, looking away but blushing. Will couldn't help but smile and kiss his boyfriend.
"Hey! Jin! I think we found you some friends!" A familiar voice joked.
"Shut up Cage." Kung Jin replied, doing some stretches with his arms.
"I saved earthrealm." Cassie bragged, looking down at Leo who was being tended by Calypso.
"Well I saved the world TWICE AND I got resurrected." He replied, flipping his hair back like that badass he thinks he is.
"…Fuck you." She managed, Takeda and Jacqui managed to laugh at that moment but soon or later everyone joined in, the laughter died down when Sonya and Johnny entered camp, since the assault on Earthrealm, the mist and the barrier was pretty much destroyed and the whole world could see what was going on, although that wasn't the first thing that they noticed.
"This place looks like SHIT." Blade commented, looking around the destroyed cabins and the messed up big house. Suddenly laughter echoed from the central firepit, everyone whipped their heads behind to see a middle aged man in a delivery suit.
"I'm guessing you're the delivery guy from amazon?" johnny cage mocked, Annabeth slapped his head and bowed on one knee. Everyone followed her example, Sonya got the feeling of nervousness and ordered her troops to do that same. After three minutes of bowing the man burst out in laughter.
"Seriously! You guys didn't HAVE to take it THAT seriously." the man chuckled, Sonya glared at Annabeth but her rage was interrupted when Chiron slowly paced to where the delivery man stood.
"What do we owe this pleasure to, Lord Hermes?" He asked, that's when Jacqui and Takeda's eyes widened. Briggs turned her head to Jason and mouthed 'is that really Hermes?' in which Jason nodded.
"Zeus wanted to see you guys, like y'know our new seven and you mortal peeps." The god replied nonchalantly, that's when Sonya stood up with anger and stomped towards Hermes.
"So we go through all this CRAZY shit about Shinnok's amulet and NOW Zeus wants to see us. Who does he think he is?" She was interrupted with the sky darkening and rumbling. She bit her tongue back and Johnny stood next to his wife.
"I assure you, Lord Zeus that..." Kenshi stated before noticing that three god-like figures and a man were walking towards them. That MAN was Kano but who were the three figures? One was a thirteen year old girl with a bow slung around her shoulder, another was an eighteen year old who wore too much bling he shone like the sun. The final was a muscular punk with a baseball bat and permanent sneer. All the demigods bowed respectably to the gods. The Special Forces soldiers readied their guns. Thalia drew her shield and spear as the thug was escorted next to her.
"And what do I owe this pleasure to." Kano jeered, noticing Thalia as she unintentionally was the closest to him. Thalia gagged a bit but kept her composure in her mistress' presence. Before Thalia could lose her temper, Ares silenced Kano by slapping his face.
"I still ain't over about those times you forgot to sacrifice to me, punk!" the war god threatened, looking Kano deep in his cybernetic and normal eye. Kano just shrugged off the fear and stared around to see several of his worst enemies nearby, especially Sonya Blade. He gave her a flirty look, in which Apollo used his bow to hit the thug on the back of his head.
"Alright, everyone's here. Send us up." Apollo reported, looking upwards to the sky. That's when a bright flash was emitted around the assembly, everyone closed their eyes. Suddenly they were gone.
"Where'd they go?" Piper asked, looking around desperately to find her boyfriend
Somewhere else
Cassie blinked her eyes several times as she adjusted to the light of mount Olympus.
"Holy shit." Takeda managed, surrounding all the warriors, half-bloods and Calypso were each of the twelve Olympian gods as well as Hestia who was tending the fire in her mortal form and Hades who stood behind his younger sister, also in mortal form.
"S'mores?" the hearth goddess offered, gesturing to the nicely toasted marshmallows on the plate next to her.
"Don't mind if I do." Johnny accepted in a matter-of-factly tone, he took one of the sweets and began chewing on the gooey substance.
"Man you make mean marshmallows!" Jacqui managed to say, stilling eating one of Hestia's delicious goodies.
"It's one of the reasons why I stay at the hearth." She replied, poking the fire with the stick.
"That's enough Hestia. Let us get down to business." Zeus ordered. His electric blue eyes flared with anger as his younger sister managed to trail off the topic.
"I can see the resemblance." Cassie muttered with humour, poking Thalia's shoulder. Thalia turned away with anger. Right off the bat three gods offered the first idea.
"Let's blast Kano to bits!" Ares jeered, leaning closely to the arms dealer, Kano's eyes widen with fear.
"I agree, he's dissed me long enough." Apollo stated, glaring at the man.
"I call first dibs since he attacked my lieutenant." Artemis calmly declared, lighting her palms with fire.
"That's enough, the three of you. As much as it pains me to say," Hades began.
"Thanks for the consideration, mate." The mercenary grumbled sarcastically.
"We need him for the war that is to come."
That perked the interest of the demigods.
"Wait, war?" Percy asked, looking at his dad. Apollo cleared his throat and asked if the demigods could recall Rachel's last line of the prophecy.
"Yeah Warrior of lighting and fire will cause earth great woe, or something like that." Annabeth replied.
"It seems that the warriors of lighting and fire are currently plotting to cause earth great woe." Hera stated, looking at the Grace Siblings and Leo.
"I swear, i haven't hatched my world domination plan yet." Valdez admitted, waving his arms frantically.
"I didn't say it was you, Valdez." The queen spat disdainfully, looking at the three of them with disgust. Thalia rolled her eyes, showing her disgust that Hera still hasn't changed a bit. Zeus waved his hands to form a blurry image. It was in a throne room where Kitana and Liu Kang, dressed in regal robes were conversing with each other whilst Luke and Zoe stood nearby, casually fiddling with their weapons until someone teleported in their room unannounced. Instantly, Luke and Zoe readied their weapons and stared at Raiden with death stares. Strangely the thunder god didn't attack all them, he seemed like...them. Sonya gasped, realising that Raiden himself was now one of the revenants. He threw down shinnok's head and offered his allegiance to the new rulers of the netherrealm.
"Now that's where you all come in." Hephaestus stated, snapping his fingers and breaking Kano's handcuffs. Everyone scowled as the man used his hands to casually trim his beard.
"Earth is now vulnerable to netherrealm's forces and do not forget that we still have outworld to worry about." Athena explained, generating an image of Kotal's throne room with all his thugs. Apollo scowled at the very sight of his cowboy son. Then Hera broke the ice, she told the warriors that they would be the defenders of earthrealm, since Raiden was no longer there to guide them or help them. The gods will serve as their protectors and vowed to replace Raiden's position.
"...that means... you can't kill me or Jason." Thalia ventured slowly, Hera gritted her teeth with anger but nodded her head.
"...YES!" She cheered, pumping her fists in the air.
"Now I have gathered you all here...Hephaestus, put out the fire." Zeus grumbled, everyone turned their heads to see the mercenary scream with pain as he was on fire, courtesy of the flame god. The disabled deity grunted before waving his hand to extinguish the flames.
"Runs in the family." Takeda muttered, looking at Leo. Valdez shrugged and gave his dad an approving thumbs up.
"Now since there is a war to prepare and most likely another mortal kombat tournament, be aware that the world will NOT be the same from now on." Zeus continued.
"I'm not letting this scumbag out of my sight." Sonya growled, pointing at Kano.
"Don't worry, I've got the perfect place for our...guest." Hades grinned, snapping his fingers. Kano disappeared in flame and a cry of agony.
"Where is he?" Kenshi asked, attempting to sense the Australian dealer.
"Oh just screaming in the fields of punishment." the death god replied, generating an image of Kano running through a minefield with bomb after bomb after bomb exploding around him.
"He's not dead, but we'll keep him there for a long time but we'll only bring him out when we need to. Hopefully he's learned his lesson by then."
Sonya grinned with satisfaction and the assembly was silent for a bit.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Leave! I have like an appointment in like fifteen minutes!" Aphrodite shrieked, pointing towards the door. Everyone was silent, the love goddess snapped her fingers and a figure appeared next to her. The newcomer had messy black hair and had a bow and quiver as weapons. He had a winning smile and already had an arrow strew in the bow.
"I'm...guessing that's Cupid." Cassie gulped.
"Go to hell!" Nico shouted but soon was silenced when a love arrow nearly hit his leg.
"...RUN!" Percy screamed, all the earthrealmer warriors took off screaming and ran away from the throne room and into the elevator. All the gods couldn't help but chuckle at that scene.
"This is why we need Cupid to be defense." Demeter stated, casually stroking a corn she had in her hand. Artemis rolled her eyes before getting off her throne.
"Whatever, I have better things to do." She muttered, teleporting out of Mount Olympus. Zeus sighed as he wished he could keep his family together.
"S'mores?" Hestia asked kindly, offering some marshmallows, the somber tone of the room was soon turned into a joyful one.
-line break-
"Damn I wished we had Korean BBQ." Percy sighed, eating the udon. Cassie rolled her eyes and told him to go jump off a cliff. Cassie's squad and the seven decided to go to have Japanese food due to the long lines that have plagued the Korean BBQ fifteen metres away from Percy's apartment. Everything was ok...i guess, since Earthrealm was no longer in dang-
"News flash. There has been a large number of body counts around Camp Crystal Lake, the perpetrator has been described to be very large and wears a hockey mask." The television announced. Nico dropped his chopsticks and his eye began twitching with anger and annoyance.
"...a friend?" Jacqui asked.
"...someone...who...I used to play blackjack with...and i won the game with the bet that he wasn't allowed to go around killing people for a year." Nico grumbled, slowly rubbing his ring.
"And when was this game." Jason asked.
"...a year ago." Nico replied
"Then let's play a new game, it's called: 'let's cause pain to the perp.' who's in?" Kung Jin asked, turning around to the others. Clarisse chuckled and cracked her knuckles. Annabeth casually dusted her yankees cap. Leo popped an eclipse chewy in his mouth. Jason pulled ilvis out of his pocket. Thalia attached her bracelet. Cassie paid the check before taking out her nightstick. Jacqui attached her gauntlets and Takeda grinned with malice. The only one who wasn't preparing to fight was Percy. Percy pulled out his phone and called his mom.
"Percy," Paul Blofis' voice asked, "where have you been?"
"It's a long story, look um...i caught up with a few friends so i thought we have a little fun." He explained.
"What KIND of fun?" The english teacher clarified.
"Let's just say...that I won't be home until tomorrow morning so yeah. See ya." He replied before hanging up, the son of poseidon looked up to see all his friends outside and waiting for him.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Jason asked.
Author's note: and there you have it. Heroes of Kombat finally completed! Well sort of, minus the intros.
