We approached to Ceaser's Belt, which was half way towards Efrafa. Hazel reminded Bigwig that he and Hanzo "Scorpion" will infiltrate there as Scorpion would make up a story that a rabbit would join Efrafa. Kehaar would guide them towards the warren, before leaving them for their mission. Hazel decided that the rest of us should be away from Efrafa in hopes that we wouldn't be caught. At one point, I noticed Fiver was staring at the fields as if he was gone tharn.

"Fiver?" Hazel reached out to him.

"Something poison, rotten, and moving through the fields." Fiver shivered.

The rabbits sniffed out and couldn't be able to catch a scent. "Perhaps they were just old scents, Fiver." Captain Holly thought.

"No, something is watching us. Like a fox in the bushes." Fiver than stepped away.

I attempt to sniff out the scent. There is something watching is, that I was ready to un-holster my sidearm, as if this was a draw. The Earthrealm begin to feel the suspicion. We than heard a scream that it was from Bluebell, as he got something round his neck.

"Bluebell!" Blackberry hurried to his closest friend and held him down. We saw a tongue was pulling Bluebell in. The rabbits hurried to hold him down, as I went Bluebell, however after cutting off the tongue I was being spat on with acid. I fell and screamed, as the acid was hitting my eyes. I was picked up and aided to remove the acid with a bottle filled with water. When my eyes were bit better, I was able to see somewhat clear and noticed a lizard is present.

"Reptile!" Liu Kang exclaimed, while in a defensive state, along the rest of us.

"My favorite slimy green thing." Sonya mocked.

"You vile humans and your rabbit friends!" Reptile exclaimed. "You just ruined my dinner."

"You don't want to eat me, I just tell jokes and I could tell you one right now." Bluebell panicked.

"Don't even start!" Blackberry told him.

"I know what you are planning. You're planning to take the does from Woundwart's warren. I'll make sure you won't go." Reptile knew what we're about to do.

"Bigwig, Hanzo, and Kehaar go!" Hazel instructed the three to run.

Reptile was about ready to catch them, but Kung Lao's hat hit Reptile on the back, which his attention turned back towards us. "At least, I won't be alone." Out came were Cyrax and his cyborg ninjas.

"Hazel, you guys need to leave, we'll take of it." I informed Hazel and the rest of the rabbits to flee, while me and the Earthrealm Warriors stay back and fight.

"Be careful." Hazel warned us, before they left with Sonya, Jade, and Nightwolf.

The rest of us began to fight: Liu Kang and Kitana fought Reptile, while Kung Lao fought the cyborg ninjas. Myself... I was fighting against one of the murders of my family Cyrax.

"I'm surprised to see you alive and recovered." Cyrax told me. "Unlike your family."

"Do not even bring up about my family, you murder!" I shouted. "You and Sektor held me down, as that sorcerer and his friends burned my family alive and you kidnapped my sister!"

He charged at, as I was ready for combat. He than went into pieces and disappeared. I looked around to see where he went. I than spotted him, by the bushes pulling out something from his chest... a bomb! He fired the bomb towards me and it exploded. It knocked me off the wind and landed onto the ground. I attempt to reach for my gun that it felled from my holster. I crawled until the gun was swept away by Cyrax and pulled me up, while choking me.

"You're not even a warrior. You can't even defeat a machine."

My eye was concentrated on my sidearm that I made it left to the air was pointing at Cyrax's legs. "Any last request?"

"I do... where's your brain?" I questioned dumbly.

"What?" My pulled my right index finger to fire the sidearm, hitting Cyrax in his knees. I was freed and picked up my fire arm and shot his shoulders.

"You cheated!" Cyrax exclaimed.

"Since when does bombs count?" I questioned him, as I aimed at my sidearm at his chest. "Now, where's Katie?!"

"Your sister... yes, the lone survivor of what is left of your family." I than shot his left hand.

"Where is she?!"

"You'll never get an answer from the Lin Kuei Cyborgs!" he exclaimed, resulting of having another gunshot wound on his other hand.

"Tell me! Or this will be a headshot! TELL ME, NOW!"

Cyrax sighed and finally agrees to tell what it is that I want to hear from his mouth. "Your sister... is safe. For now. She's imprisoned in Efrafa, under Woundwart and his Owsla. While Shang Tsung looks after her."

My hand was still on the trigger and was ready to pull it to avenge my family.

"Thomas!" Captain Holly approached with Hazel. "You know he already give you what you needed to know. He has enough."

The fire of vengeance begin to burn, but until Holly's soft words advise me not to take full revenge on Cyrax, after he provided information. I than holstered my sidearm, following a hard stomp on his chest that he let out a painful scream, before passing out.

"Don't worry, he'll live." I assured Holly. I was than stopped by Holly's paw.

"Don't let The Wolf take over you, son. Remember what Nightwolf said before." Holly reminded me about my animalities. I took some deep breaths and nodded my head.

"That's the last of them, we need to leave, before more will come after us." Liu Kang informed us.

"And this, 'Reptile'?" Hazel questioned.

"He won't remember unless he wakes up and tracks us down."

"Right, we need to leave now." Hazel than led us to regroup with the rest of the bucks.


Bigwig and Scorpion managed to escape without being tailed. They saw Kehaar making a landing on a garden faucet, where the three would discuss briefly about the meeting point with the escaped prisoners.

"We've lost them. They won't suspect us our involvement unless they managed to return back to Efrafa and remembered us." Scorpion informed Bigwig.

"Right." Bigwig nodded, before turning towards Kehaar. "Now, remember the plan tomorrow night. As soon as we get out with the does, attack."

"Um... maybe." Kehaar second guessing.

"What do you mean, maybe?" Bigwig questioned him.

"Well, the thing is, I've decided I'm going to nip to The Big Water for a bit. Hopefully, I'll be back tomorrow." Kehaar answered.

"Oh, no, no, no. Not hopefully. You will be back tomorrow."

"Alright, Plump Rabbit. I will be back tomorrow." Kehaar jokingly assures him.

"When you mean tomorrow, you mean the next night. Not tonight, right?" Scorpion questioned Kehaar.

Kehaar reminded silent. "Yes." He than flew off and smirked at them. "Maybe."

"No! Wait! Damn you!" Bigwig starts going after him.

"Easy, Bigwig." Scorpion restrained him.

"He won't be back by tomorrow!" Bigwig exclaimed in anger. "That flying weasel won't come back!"

"He will. It'll be the next day. Tomorrow evening, not this evening." Scorpion stated.

"Wait, what?" Bigwig questioned, after he was being released.

"You seemed to have different timing than seagulls do." he stated. "You usually go by tonight than the next day. Those birds probably go by what humans do, tomorrow evening."

Bigwig sighed out of annoyance. "As long he comes back."

"Yes, in the meantime, hold out of any escapes until the next day. Not tonight." Scorpion suggested.

Bigwig nodded, as the two than emerged out from the wheat fields and being spotted by a nearby Efrafan patrol. You there! Stay where you are!

"Okay, okay, Bigwig. Softly does it, now." Bigwig said to himself. "You're just a wandering rabbit, looking for a home."

"And I'll be the one who found you." Scorpion added. "Just remain calm and don't do anything stupid."

"Since when do I do anything stupid?!" Bigwig questioned and started to temper a bit.

"Restrain. Just don't cause any problems. I know how you're."

The two Efrafan bucks came to them. "Come with us without a fuss."

"I'm not moving an inch until I see The Chief Rabbit!" Bigwig refused.

"No one sees The Chief Rabbit." the second buck stated.

"He's a lost rabbit. I'm with Quan Chi. The lost rabbit is who I captured while I was on patrol. However, he seeks to join your clan."

The two bucks whispered and left. "You think that worked?" Bigwig asked.

"Possibly, as long they don't remember you. Perhaps you may have to use another name." Scorpion suggested.

"Sometimes they call me by my Lapine name, Thlayli."

Scorpion nodded his head. "That sure work. Without revealing your real name, the better."
