Chapter 36: Old Scores
Hearing the sound of footsteps all around the outside of the tent slowly Kitana opens her eyes before a smile comes to her face when she looks down towards Sub Zero with the memories of what happened the previous night come flooding into her mind. A night that they had spent making love inside of their tent. A night she wanted to remember forever incase something bad was to happen on this given day. The day the war would be decided.
As she feels Sub Zero's body stirring Kitana's smile widens when she sees Sub Zero slowly opening his eyes before she leans down and gives him a deep kiss.
" Princess it's time."
Hearing the sound of Jade walking away Kitana slowly breaks off the kiss and slowly gets off of Sub Zero before minutes later she leads him out of the tent to see their troops slowly preparing themselves for the battle. Men and woman of the edenian army applying their respective armors. Many others sharpening and checking over their weaponry. Groups of zaterrians talking over battle strategies with a group of shokans. Snapping out of her shocked state reaching over Kitana grabs a hold of Sub Zero's hand before she slowly leads him to the command center tent.
Within hours at the front of the line Kitana and Sub Zero are seen leading a massive army towards a massive pyramid known to be The Dragon King's Temple before suddenly she comes to a stop bringing the whole united forces to a follow when she sees the form of Kung Lao with glowing red eyes standing near the temple in the distance with a large tarkatan army behind him. Taking out her fans Kitana signals the army to charge before within seconds she watches the united forces colliding head on with the tarkatan horde in a bloody battle.
Charging forward Kitana sends a slash from her fans that instantly kill two charging tarkatan warriors as she sees Sub Zero sending a slash towards a side the cuts a tarkatan warrior in half. As she continues to kill tarkatan warrior one after another out of the corner of her eye Kitana watches Sub Zero slowly massacring every tarkatan warrior that comes his way as he slowly makes his way over towards an approaching Kung Lao.
As he sees Kung Lao grabbing a hold of his hat Sub Zero sends a slash that kills the tarkatan warrior ahead of himself before suddenly he sends another slash that deflects the steel hat into a tarkatan warrior when he sees the undead shaolin monk releasing the hat towards him. Rearing back Sub Zero suddenly unleashes the ice blade from his hand towards Kung Lao that hits nothing but another tarkatan warrior when Kung Lao steps over to the side. Without giving Kung Lao the chance to react Sub Zero charges forward at the shaolin monk before he unleashes a flying kick that connects into the shaolin monk's chest causing the shaolin monk to go flying back into a small battle taking place between a few tarkatan and edenian warriors.
Making his way forward as he remains focused on Kung Lao suddenly Sub Zero watches in a series of moves Kung Lao kill the edenian warriors around him before he picks up his pace as he sees Kung Lao approaching him. Engulfing his body in a blue aura Sub Zero charges forward towards Kung Lao before he takes off into the air as he sees Kung Lao leaping high into the air. For the next few seconds Sub Zero trades blows with Kung Lao in the air before he sends a kick into Kung Lao's chest causing the shaolin monk to come crashing down to the ground. As he sees Kung Lao hitting the ground with a thud rearing back Sub Zero suddenly sends a ice ball down towards Kung Lao that hits nothing but the ground.
Landing down on the ground as he sees tarkatan warriors all around him suddenly as he rears back Sub Zero sends a massive ice blast all around himself causing the tarkatan warriors to freeze instantly before suddenly he witnesses one of the tarkatan warriors explode into a thousand ice shards revealing Kung Lao on the other side. As he sees Kung Lao sending a flying kick his direction Sub Zero quickly side steps to the side when suddenly using all of his might he slams his fist through Kung Lao's lower back before just seconds later he rips out the spin of Kung Lao causing the rest of his dead body to fall to the ground with a thud.
Hearing the sound of a roar from a tarkatan warrior nearby Sub Zero quickly rears back before in a sudden move he spins around and slams Kung Lao's spine across the face of the tarkatan warrior causing the spine to instantly shatter into pieces and the tarkatan warrior to slam to the ground. As he quickly turns and sends a spinning kick towards another charging tarkatan warrior out of the corner of his eye Sub Zero sees a pair of tarkatan warriors charging towards him before suddenly their heads leave their shoulders when Kitana suddenly appears. Looking on Sub Zero watches Kitana rear back and throw him over a sword before in a quick motion he spins around and sends a slash causing another tarkatan warrior to fall down to his feet dead.
Glancing over his shoulder Sub Zero gives Kitana a small nod before he watches her return the nod and engage a charging tarkatan warrior. With haste Sub Zero follows after Kitana as he sends slash after slash with his sword killing tarkatan warriors left and right before suddenly after a few minutes Sub Zero backs up into Kitana as he sees a large group of tarkatan warriors surrounding them.
Suddenly Sub Zero looks up when a loud roar is heard echoing through the sky before he sees Grum landing next to them. As he watches with amazement Sub Zero sees the 6 armed shokan warrior quickly making work of the tarkatan warriors with nothing but pure rage before he watches Grum looking over his shoulder towards himself and Kitana as he stands over a pile of dead tarkatan warriors. Giving Grum a nod slowly Sub Zero watches Grum return the nod before he watches the shokan warrior disappear back into the battle.
