Bison's Airship
Bison sat on the coal colored command chair watching multiple screens as the tournament took place. There was a lot going on and he desired to have all the answers. Most of those answers were in the palace that much he knew. If Vega had done is job correctly he could have the secrets the palace contained. If the narcissist fighter hadn't the punishment would be most sever. Vega entered the command room bowing on one knee to his master. "My Lord I have found two possible allies in the palace. One is the princess known as Mileenia. The other is the creature called Baraka. They share a romantic relationship which appears to be forbidden within their surroundings. If we offer them power and freedom to be with each other I'm sure they will gladly join our side." Vega answered quickly hoping to please his master.
Bison looked down at Vega replying, "Very good. Keep an eye those two until it is the right time to approach them." Bison turned back to the screens watching the fights as Vega bowed once more before leaving. 'I will have everything that palace holds,' Bison thought as a cruel smile crept upon his face.
Shao Kahn's Palace
Back in the Palace Harriet was lying on her stomach wincing in pain from the multiple cuts her lover was forced to give her as punishment for loosing the match. Carnage was sitting next to her petting her hair. "I've been thinking, why don't we knock off you master?"
"No!" Harriet shouted. "He is too powerful. Many have attacked Lord Darkseid and have met death."
"Perhaps that is true but he has never faced me. I am an expert in killing. Think about it we start with Darkseid and work our way up to painting our castle with blood. Just you and me living in this nice big place killing whenever we feel like it." Carnage said.
"It sounds intriguing but is it possible?"
"Babe, when comes to killing any thing is possible." Carnage replied before kissing Harriet. "We just need to think this time."
Main Camp
Raiden snuck into Thor's tent carrying a clear sticky liquid. After Earthrealm one and two combined forces Thor and Raiden had a vicious encounter each claiming that they were the true thunder god. Before the two could battle it out the thunder gods were reminded that anyone who fights outside the tournament would be immediately disqualified. Raiden not allowed to fight decided to take the immature approach as he snuck into his clone's tent. Thor was fast asleep on his cot as his hammer laid next to him. Raiden attempted to lift the hammer failing miserably surprised by how heavy it was. Despite the minor set back the clad white warrior carefully poured the goo on the handle of Thor's weapon and used a brush to smooth it out. As silently as he snuck in Raiden snuck out before sending a lighting bolt into his rival's tent. Thor immediately awoke at the sound grasping his hammer for battle. Rushing out of the tent the Norse god saw Raiden walking away realizing what happened. Thor tightened his grip in anger swearing under his breath before stepping back into his tent before. The Norris God attempted to place his hammer on his night table before realizing it was stuck to his hand. Looking at his hammer Thor noticed some sticky goo on the handle realizing what had transpired while he was asleep before vowing revenge on his new rival.
Court Yard Arena
Wonder Woman was with Supergirl waiting for there matches. Supergirl sat amazed at what most of the fighters could do as she got excited wanting to prove herself to Superman and the rest of the League. Wonder Woman on the other hand studied the fights in order to prepare herself for victory. It amazed her at the fights she had seen the the warriors who are fighting. Some where able to let loose powerful blasts of energy from their hands others had blades under their arms. The thrill of such a challenge excited Wonder Woman as it did Supergirl.
"From Earthrealm 4 Supergirl vs Saricus from The Neitherrealm!" Shang Tsung called. Supergirl stood face to face with a floating electric warrior in armor wielding bronze spear and shield. "Begin!" Supergirl wasted no time flying forward throwing her fist at the creature. Saricus moved left before thrusting out his spear. Supergirl sped around to Saricus back knocking him into the air. Saricus regain composure in the air before shooting electricity out of his weapon. The young kryptonian moved quickly dodging the attacks while closing distance with Saricus. With only a few feet between them the lighting warrior swung his shield into Supergirl's face forcing her on the ground. Wasting no time Saricus charged to the ground slamming his spear at the woman attempting to end the fight. Taking all her strength Supergirl rolled left backhanding her opponent. The electric warrior floated back before getting knocked around constantly by his opponent. Supergirl punched the the creature again breaking through the chest plate only to be enveloped in electricity. The young Kryptonian started struggling but was unable to fight back as Saricus kept up with his assault. Saricus flew off watching his adversary fall to the ground breathing hard her eyes still full of fight. The lighting warrior moved in again as Supergirl looked right seeing her adversaries spear. Within micro-seconds Supergirl grabbed the weapon catching Saricus on the tip before slamming the end into the ground ending the lighting warrior.
"Supergirl wins...Fatality!" Shang Tsung called knowing Saricus was not coming back.
The winner limped out of the ring towards Wonder Woman before pain over took her forcing her to the ground. Behind her stood Metallo wearing a cruel smile. "I must admit it is a rather interesting surprise to see you here. Tell me is your cousin here as well?" Metallo asked before locking the kryptonite in.
"Yeah he is here and ready to knock your block off. Just as he has done many times before." Supergirl spat.
Metallo's smile just widened after hear that statement. "Is that what he has told you? Superman could never beat me without someone helping him out. I'm just too powerful for him."
"Oh and what about me?" Wonder Woman said appearing in front of the cyborg. "Are you too powerful for me?"
"Easily." Metallo replied with a wink.
Wonder Woman's fist tightened desiring nothing more than to take her head off.
"Dalkon from Earthrealm Three vs John Corben from Earthrealm." Shang Tsung called.
"See you later darlin." Metallo called before walking into the ring.
Dalkon pulling a large knife from the pocket of his black ops uniform stood five ten with black hair and brown eyes. Stepping into the ring Dalkon and Metallo looked at each other with cold eyes. "Begin." Shang Tsung called. Dalkon moved in swinging the blade as Metallo walked into the weapon breaking the blade upon contact. With his identity revealed Metallo decided not to be discreet anymore. Dalkon looked at the broken blade before tossing it to the ground. The solider threw a hard right kick knocking his opponent across the jaw. Metallo remained still as his opponent started limping. The soldier threw out a hard right that Metallo caught before crushing the fist. Dalkon screamed in agony before being kicked in the chest crushing the heart. "John Corben wins...Flawless victory...Fatality." Shang Tsung called out impressed by the warriors abilities.
Metallo turned to the two super heroes giving a quick wink before leaving. Supergirl screamed in fury watching the cyborg disappear. "I am so ready to smash that machine to bits." The Kryptonian said with a snarl.
"I know the feeling but there is nothing we can do for the moment. We can't risk getting disqualified until we know more about the tournament." Wonder Woman replied her fists still clenched. The Amazon was ready for her match desiring just to knock someone out and release her anger.
Her chance came as she heard, "Pestilence from Earthrealm two vs Wonder Woman from Earthrealm four." Pestilence entered the ring glaring at her opponent who was ready and Wonder Woman glaring back. "Fight!" Wonder Woman charged forward knocking Pestilence in the jaw. Pestilence hit the ground then sat up rubbing her jaw lightly before getting up. Pestilence's attacker rushed forward throwing another punch into her opponent knocking her down again. Shang Tsung stared at the fight upset about how Apocalypse warrior was doing. Pestilence stood up again glaring at her opponent before rushing forward attempting to grab Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman grabbed the girls wrist throwing her across the ring picking up a cloud of dust on impact.
"If you are wise you will stay on the ground." Wonder Woman said looking at her opponent.
Pestilence remained silent before standing up ready to continue the fight. Wonder Woman rushed forward throwing another hit that Pestilence easily dodged grasping her opponent's arm tightly smiling triumphantly. The amazon shot her leg up kicking her adversary off. Both warriors fell to the ground Wonder Woman feeling very ill. The amazon stood up to continue but was struck with waves of dizziness. Pestilence stood up walking over to the ill hero mercilessly unleashing hit after hit taking pleasure in her torture. With a heavy uppercut Wonder Woman was knocked to the ground. Upon impact the amazon threw up and coughed horribly. Pestilence waltzed over before kicking her opponent stomach forcing to roll across the ground. Wonder Woman stood up unable to see anything due to tears coming from her illness. Waiting patiently the Amazon heard the foot steps of the horseman walking toward her. Taking some strength Wonder Woman kicked Pestilence in the stomach forcing her to back away. Wonder Woman wiped her eyes before having her lasso wrap around Pestilence. Quickly the Amazon pulled her opponent forward stretching out her leg denting the armor of the horseman having it dig into her abdomen forcing her to seriously bleed. Pestilence clutched the wound attempting to stop the bleeding only to fail back out of the match. "Wonder Woman wins." Shang Tsung announced glaring at the horseman knowing their would be consequences
Later that night Earthrealm three were inside what was best described as Outworld's lounge to celebrate Wonder Woman's and Supergirl's victory. Logan and Jubilee sat at the bar table taking a break from their misson. To Logan the lounge was similar to a dark coffee bar in New York. Logan looked around wondering what to order since Outworld failed to produce a beer. "Wolverine correct?" A voice called from behind. Logan and Jubilee turned around to see the eight foot four armed creature known as Goro glaring at him.
"What if I am?" Logan asked preparing for a fight.
"I've seen you fight. Impressive." Goro said before looking bartender. "Servant two glasses on callona." The Bartenteder set up two shot glasses in front of his customer. Goro handed one glass to Wolverine before drinking the other.
"Hey what about me?" Jubilee shouted insulted by being ignored the whole time.
"Your too young." Wolverine said protectively.
"Aye. This is a powerful drink that only the best could handle." Goro said following up. Wolverine looked at his shot glass than drink it quickly. Upon emptying the glass Wolverine started coughing loudly. "It appeares your friend isn't as strong as I thought." Goro said laughing out loud.
"Perhaps he was not. But let's see how I do." Thor said from the other end of the room. The thunder deity walked over to Goro then looked at the bartenter. "I'll have a glass of what they just had." The glass was put in front of Thor. Thor quickly emptied the glass before putting it in front of the prince. Goro knew right away he had been challenged.
"Set up a table! I'm gonna out drink this fool!" Goro shouted loudly.
"A drinking game huh. Can anyone join?" Paul asked from the left side.
"Only if you think your man enough." Goro replied.
"What about Amazon enough?" Wonder Woman called. "This was our party to start with and you macho men are ruining it."
"Pull up a chair and make a fool of yourself." Goro replied snidely.
The drinks were set on the table as many looked at the four whispering bets and who would most likely win. Paul was the first to take a drink and the first to fall over. "One down on the first drink. Not much hope for the rest of you." Goro said with a confident grin. Wonder Woman just glared at her opponent be grabbing a glass and gulping it down. Goro watched the heroine waiting for her to pass out. Thor moved next taking the the next drink with ease. "A good start." Goro said taking a drink. "But the end is the only thing that matters."
The game went on in near silence as whispers were the only thing that could be Jubilee notice her former opponent Robin on the other side of the lounge. Wanting to talk more with him, the young mutant silently made her way over to the young warrior. The closer Jubilee got the more nervous she becames. Being only a foot away she blurts out, "Hey handsome." Immediately Jubilee clamped both her hands on her mouth turning furiously red.
Robin turned to the sound of the voice and saw Jubilee in her state of embarrassment. Robin just smiled noticing how cute she looked standing their red with her mouth covered. "Hey cutie. Taking a vow of silence?"
Jubilee noticed her hands were still on her mouth before pulling them away. "Um no. I just saw you were here and wanted to talk." The young mutant said quickly.
Robin's smile widened as he decided to play on her nervousness, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Um well..." Jubilee was caught off guard by the question and thought about it. Soon she smiled as she had the right answer. "I was wondering if you could teach me how to fight?"
Robin's smile faded at the question and replied, "You already know how to fight."
"Yeah but I could be better. I mean you defeated me easily during our match." Jubilee said moving closer as her shyness slowly disappeared.
Robin's face turned a light shade of red, "Well I'm sure I could show you a few things."
"Really? When?" Jubilee asked excitedly.
"Um how about tomarrow at noon in the dinning hall?" Robin replied quickly.
"Great I'll see you then." The young mutant said kissing him on the cheek before leaving Robin in mild shock at how quickly the attitudes turned around.
Back in the center of the lounge Wonder Woman finished her thirty second glass. Setting the glass down she fell flat on her face in defeat. "She dish better than I thosh." Goro replied before gulping his glass down.
"Think that thou shalt beat me?" Thor asked his eyes beginning to redden. Goro glared at his opponent taking another gulp. Thor met the challege taking his drink. The two went on as the silence died and cheering was heard. At fifty-three Goro swallowed the drink before falling to the ground breaking his chair passing out. The crowd cheers for the victor as money is being passed to the winners. Thor stood as he finished the the rest of the glasses laughing heartily. "Bartender a round of drinks for everyone her in celebration for my victory!"
In Shao Kahn's throne room Pestilence was recieving a beating from Shao Kahn. Her face was nearly brokes as blood fell from her mouth. "The match was yours and you still lost!" The Emperor shouted before kicking here across the floor. Pestilence stopped rolling as she reached Apocalypse.
Apocalypse stared at Shao Kahn, "What is going on here?" He demanded.
"Your minion was defeated by her own arrogance. I thought it would be wise to teach her a lesson." Shao Kahn replied.
"Perhaps. But I should be doing the punishment. After all she is one of my horsemen."
Shao Kahn stared at Apocalypse studying what his next move should be. In the past he would have killed anyone that disagreed with him. However times have now changed and power was being shared. "You're right. She is your minion. You should be the one to punish her. I'll try to restrain myself next time."
Apocalypse looked down at his fallen warrior and replied, "No harm done. I'm she learned her lesson. Infact she should thank you. My punishment would have been far more painful."
Intrigued Shao Kahn asked, "Perhaps you could show me your form of punishment. I'm interested in seeing them."
"Of course. Just let me know when someone is in need of such torment." Apocalypse replied with a malicious smile.
The next morning Wonder Woman was leaning in front of a tree throwing up from the drinking challenge. Wonder Woman was upset at the fact that she lost at thirty when the other two reached fifty. The following morning didn't help how she was feeling. Orion noticing Wonder woman's illness walked over saying, "There is a cure for that."
"What is it?" The Amazon asked miserably.
"Greasy lizard ribs smothered in ranch dressing."
Hearing that Wonder Woman hurled again. "Ugh just wait till I feel better. Your gonna regret this."
Orion smiled replying, "I'm sure I will however Superman wants us to gather for a meeting. Should I tell him you can't make it?"
"No. I'm coming." Wonder Woman started to stand before getting hit by a wave of dizziness and falling to the ground again. "On second thought I'm out." The Amazon said miserably.
Orion walked over to the where group was meeting. "Wonder Woman's not coming she is feeling ill."
"Last nights challenge?" Supergirl asked amused.
"Yeah. So since the rest of us are here what's this meeting about?"
"We are into the second round and are lacking answers." Superman replied. "Batman and I have talked with some of the natives in this realm. We have located Darkseid in the palace. Now here is where it gets weird. The native states that Darkseid is working for someone known as Shao Kahn."
"For? As in commanding Darkseid?" Orion asked in a shocked tone.
"That's what it sounds like." Batman replied. "From what we gather this Shao Kahn is a powerful sorcerer. That was all we could gather. The native refused to say anything else when he notice one of the guards looking at him."
"Obviously Shao Kahn is pulling the strings instead of Shang Tsung." Robin deduced.
"The real question is who is serving who. For all we know Darkseid maybe manipulating Shao Kahn and if that's the case then this tournament is about to end with everyone here being slaves." Superman said in a frightened tone.
"Anyway our new plan is to talk with other fighters and increase our group. If Darkseid does start running the show those guards won't be referring they'll be killing. When that happens we gonna need all the help we can get." Batman spoke out noticing Superman's distraction. "Robin I noticed you talking with a fight last night. Do you plan to see her again?"
Robin blushed slightly as he remembered the kiss she had given him, "Yeah she asked me to train her."
"Good. Get her to open up to you and see if she has any allies that would be willing to join us. Has anyone else made contact with other warriors?" The rest of the group nodded their heads negative. "I see. We'll then we're just going to have to make some new friends. Scout the fights for possible allies. You can tell a lot about a person on how they fight, how they win, and how they lose." Batman said closing the meeting.
Beach Arena
Batman stood looking around for potential allies. To his disappointment most of the fighters were here for fame or the prize. The fighter Steve Fox did have his interest though. He didn't move like a glory hog nor did his eyes hold greed. However what Batman did see was pure uncontainable rage. The sight of rage did make Batman hesitate. He knew Steve had a fight today and decided to further investigate the fighter's ability and attitude. Spider-man had stepped out of the ring after winning his match. "Congratulations with your win." Batman called to the super-hero.
"Thanks." Spiderman replied before joining the spectators.
"Steve Fox from Earthrealm two." The Shadow priest called. As soon as the British Box entered the ring the priest then called, "Enos from Earthrealm three." A dark skinned soldier standing six foot even wearing a green sleeveless t-shirt and cameo pants. "Begin!" The priest called.
Enos and Steve started circling each other measuring the best method of attack. Suddenly Steve moved in throwing a right hook as Enos leaped back barely missing the attack. Steve kept his sites on his opponent watching his opponents eyes waiting for an opening. Enos moved in with a couple of kicks. Steve dodged the first hit and blocked the second before rushing his with a right knocking Enos back. Taking the advantage Steve moved inn unleashing two hits to the stomach before knocking his opponent to the ground. Enos swept his opponents left leg before dropping his heel into Steve's stomach. The two stood up and glared at one another before resuming their fight. Enos moved in with a heavy kick that the boxer managed to latch on to before throwing his opponent across the ground face first receiving a mouth full of dirt.
Up on a hill Nina was preparing her rifle ready to score her pay check for the death of Spider-man. Looking through the scope the assassin saw her son Steve fight against the soldier. For some unknown reason Nina couldn't take her eyes off the fight. She remembered when she was given the order to kill Steve. After doing some research she later found her target was also her son. She remained focused on killing her target however when the crime syndicate was arrested by Lei Wulong, Nina no longer felt the need to kill him. Now she was watching the fight as she whispered in the back of her mind, 'Make me proud son.'
The soldier stood up spitting the sand out of his mouth before glaring at his opponent. The two warriors charged each other as Enos swept his leg once he was close enough to Steve. Seeing the attack the boxer jumped up dodging the attack before coming down dropping his fist into the sand. Looking up Steve caught the heel of Enos's boot as blood and a tooth flew out of his mouth. Steve shook away the dizziness as he saw his opponent smiling triumphantly. Batman watched the boxer waiting for his next move. As Steve stood up the caped crusader noticed electricity lightly surged through the fighter's body. Pulling out his comlink the caped crusader called for Superman telling him the fight was about to get interesting as well as a candidate for there team. Enos moved in throwing a hard right kick that Steve blocked before rushing in with a left uppercut knocking his opponent six feet into the air and ending the fight.
"Winner Steve Fox!" The Shadow priest announced.
Steve walked out of the ring as Batman confronted him saying. "Nice win."
"Thanks." Steve replied attempting to take off.
"Wait. I have a proposition I want you to hear as soon as my partner gets here."
"What kind of of proposition?" Steve asked wondering what a man dressed in a bat costume could offer him.
On the mountain side Nina looks through her scope ready to shoot the arachnid hero. As she prepared to pull the trigger her son stepped in the way of her shot. Nina thought of just pulling the trigger and letting the bullet fly through him. Looking carefully at her target Nina decided against it knowing that was her son. Her flesh in blood. Lowering the gun she saw her sister Anna preparing to launch a bazooka at their target which would also kill her son in the process. Quickly Nina turned her rifle and fired on her sister. As Anna was about to fire her weapon a bullet flew past her head. Looking behind her the assassin saw her sister holding the gun that shot at her. Boiling over with anger Anna turned her bazooka shouting, "You %*%#^!"
The missile was launched straight at Nina who made a run for it. The missile hit the mountain staring a mild rock slide. Anna's eyes opened widely with fear as she started to move out of the way. Suddenly a shot was fire nearly hitting Anna's shin. Looking forward the younger sister saw her elder holding a 9mm pistol causing her to change course charging at her Nina. As Nina was about to shoot again Anna pulled out a small blade pitching it at her sister knocking the weapon out of her hand. Nina turned to grab the gun before Anna tackled her. The two wrestled rolling down hill as rock followed closing in. Nina kicked her sister off band stood up her eyes widen in fear as the avalanche reached them with no hope of escaping. Suddenly without warning the assassin was lifted into the air coming face to face with her sister. After receiving a sneer from Anna, Nina looked up and noticed they were being carried away by Superman.
As soon as they reached the beach area Superman gently put them down. Once the women were released Anna tackled her sister to the ground desiring to continue there fight. As the red clad assassin was about to unleash a hard punch Batman grabbed Anna throwing her off. "Enough! What is going on?"
"She shot at me!" Anna shouted attempting to get back in the fight.
"Only because you were going to fire a bazooka, at your target." Nina replied venomously.
"A bazooka? Is that what caused the avalanche?" Superman asked confused.
"Since when have you ever cared about extra casualties?" Anna shouted in disgust ignoring Superman's question.
"Enough!" Batman shouted again. "Superman take the brown haired girl. I'll take the blonde. Steve can we get back to you with our proposal?"
"Uh yeah. Sure thing gov." Steve replied before walking away.
"What proposal?" Nina ask coldly.
"That's not important. What is important is who you are, why your hear and why that woman is trying to kill you?" Batman asked fiercely.
Realizing there was no way around it the assassin began to answer Batman's questions, "I am Nina Williams. My sister over there is Anna Williams. We are assassins hired to kill Spiderman. That young man you were talking to is..." Nina paused for a moment trying to find the right word. "A special interest to me. If Anna had shot that bazooka many would have died here including him. Now tell me what do you want with Steve Fox?"
Tower arena
"Great we finally get a chance to waste the bug and we both get wasted by some lighting geezer the makes Electro look like low watt bulb." Shocker grumbled.
"Yeah well I'm more worried about what Fisk will do to us since we haven't called him in lord knows how long." Scorpian replied.
"Fisk probably knows we're in another dimesion. What he won't be happy with is what we have for him."
A puzzled look appeared on Scorpian's face. "What do we have for him?"
"Nothing. We don't have a single detail about this stupid tournament except that this place is full of weird creatures."
Shocker said looking at Goro killing his opponent. "What we need is answers and our best bet to find them is with the host."
"Do you have a plan?" Scorpian asked.
"Yeah we grab Shang Tsung on his way back to the palace and force him to tell us everything. And if anyone gets in our way we kill them."
"You mean break the rules and cause murder and mayhem. I like it. I'm growing bored." Scorpian. "When do we begin?"
"After your match. We need to make sure we're a force to be reckoned with. Slaughter your opponent." Shocker replied.
"Scorpion from the Netherrealm!" A shadow priest called.
"Netherrealm? I think there has been a mis..." As Scorpian started before seeing a yellow ninja enter the ring.
"Um I think there are two Scorpions." Shocker said looking at the specter.
"Not for long." Scorpian.
"Mordecai from Earthrealm two." As the a fighter approaches ring Scorpian fires acid killing Mordecai instantly.
"I'm taking his place. Is that a problem?" The arachnid asked pointing his tail at the priest.
"Um...name and realm please?" The priest asked nervously.
"Scorpian Earthream two." He replied entering the ring. "I am the Scropian and I will annihilate you."
Without the announcement Scorpion unleashed his spear. "Get over hear!" The spear shot out at his counter part. Scorpian lowered himself getting clipped by the spear before charging forward. Scropian clawed at the ninja catching the specter's stomach. Scorpion leaped back shifting his spear striking spear through the tail pack before pulling him high into the air. After the initial shock of floating in the air Scorpian shot acid at the wire freeing himself. As his opponent landed on the ground Scorpion pulled the wire back into his hand before charging his opponent. Scorpian saw the ninja coming at him and rose his tail waiting to strike. With just a foot apart from the two Scorpian dropped his tail as Scorpion disappeared in a blaze and reappearing on the left knocking his opponent across the ring with his right fist. Scorpian stood up rubbing his jaw gently.
"Lets see you do that again?" The arachnid warrior moved his tail aiming it at his opponent before firing off acid at the specter. Scorpion carefully dodged the attacks before warping out of the way. Scorpian spun around attempting to stop his opponent's attack. Disappointed with hitting nothing the super villain looked around only to find his target on the other side of the ring. Scorpion glared at his opponent before raising his hands up creating a fire in front of Scorpian. The arachnid took a few steps back before reaching the edge falling off the ring. Scorpion walked over to the edge of the ring to look at his opponent's dead body. As soon as the ninja looked down Scorpian's tail shot forward stabbing the specter through the stomach.
Scorpion fell back as his opponent lifted himself back into the ring. Scorpian leaped forward as the ninja flipped unleashing a fire kick knocking Scorpian to the ground. As the super villain stood Scorpion rushed forward slapping his opponent in the face before striking with a ridge hand at the mouth forcing Scorpian to the ground. With his opponent dazed Scorpion removed his mask revealing a flaming skull. Scorpian turned his head his eyes widening with fear before the specter covered him in flames. "Scorpion Wins...Fatality." As the announcement was made Shocker looked at his partner and making a new goal. Get out of Outworld as quickly as possible.
