Netherrealm threw a roped kunai at one Dogoo. "Get over here!" He bellowed, and he pulled it towards him. Then he gave it a vicious uppercut. It exploded into jelly, and then data. "Bruuutaaal~, my turn!" Neptune chirped and ran in front of Netherrealm.

"Hey!" he snarled, and Neptune bashed a Dogoo with her wooden sword. Netherrealm brought out his shadow, which came out of the ground, and dragged another Dogoo into the, dark portal. Netherrealm heard the sounds of fists hitting flesh, then the Dogoo gets thrown out of the shadowy wormhole.

"Can't wait! Can't wait!" Compa exclaimed and she shoved her needle inside the last Dogoo. Netherrealm wiped the jelly off his kunai on his pants. "Victory! See? Leave it old Nep and her trusty sword (wood, that Netty gifted)," Neptune celebrated. "They're the perfect fodder, on their own not tough, but when they gang up on you. It's trouble," Netherrealm said.

"So how was it fighting Mr. Monster?" Compa asked. "Exhilarating, I hope for a more fatalistic battle next time!" Netherrealm replied with a sinister smile. "Euugh, so scary," Neptune shivered at his sadism.

"Yeah, can't you be more, nicer, Netty...?" Compa asked, she shivered as well. "Are you seriously scared of me..? BOO!" Netherrealm shouted and the two girls squealed. Neptune jumping into Compa's arms.

Netherrealm laughed at their fear. While Neptune and Compa grumbled. The three continued, soon encountering some more Dogoos. Netherrealm sneered and threw his kunai. Impaling one, and he pulled it towards him. "Get over here!" he bellowed. Then he landed an uppercut, killing it instantly.

Then Netherrealm unsheathed his wakazashi. Cutting apart two more that lunged at him. Neptune cut in front of Netherrealm and drop kicked one Dogoo. Compa stabbed one, and injected something into it. Netherrealm and Neptune didn't know what it was, all they knew was that something was lethal in that syringe.

The leaves in the trees above Netherrealm ruffled. "Netty! Look out!" Compa exclaimed. "Got ya now Nether-Chan!" Kyoken yelled as she jumped out of the treetop. A knife in a reverse grip poised to stab him.

Skoll-Hati Family Matriarch

Kyoken

Netherrealm dived into the shadows, then once Kyoken landed. She kicked the last Dogoo away. Onto Compa's face, she fell and began flailing on the ground. Being jellyboarded is not a way to go.

Netherrealm came out of the shadows from base of the tree. Tackling Kyoken, the two of them rolled across the ground. Then Netherrealm was on top of her lap. Whaling on her face, then Kyoken grabbed his cowl. Pulling him foward, and giving him a headbutt.

Netherrealm was pushed off Kyoken and was on his back. He rolled away from a stomp. Then was on his feet. He held his wakazashi, and blocked some of Kyoken's knife swings.

She licked her lips and gave a crazed smile. "I'm everywhere Nether-Chan!" She giggled. Netherrealm parried a thrust, and whapped her with the flat of his blade.

A thin cut was now on her cheek, and it's bruised. Kyoken rubbed her jaw, and Netherrealm palm struck her nose. Kyoken stumbled back, off balance. 'Finish her!' A deep voice in his head commanded.

Netherrealm summoned his shadow clone. Which tackled Kyoken in the back and they both went hurdling towards him. Netherrealm jumped up and dropkicked Kyoken's face. He fell onto his back and melted into darkness. While the clone slammed Kyoken face first onto the ground.

A dark portal opened above her head, and Netherrealm came out. Footstooling Kyoken's head. The sheer force of his blow sent her flipping into the air. As she came down, Netherrealm ended it with an uppercut.

Neptune pulled the Dogoo off Compa's face and threw it at Netherrealm. He gave it a lazy slash then fell onto his knees. Netherrealm checked his SP and saw it almost depleted after doing that finishing move.

"Thanks Nep-Nep, I was almost a goner," Compa thanked while inhaling as much precious air as she could. "No problemo, by the by, who is that?" Neptune asked, pointing at the unconscious Kyoken. "That's the my stalker. She inserts herself into my fights," Netherrealm explained, as he left Battle Mode.

Netherrealm wiped sweat from his forehead. "Maybe we should help her? She's injured from that fight," Compa spoke up shyly. "No, she's always, somehow, fully healed everytime we meet. So just leave her here. Besides, we're almost at the place," Netherrealm dismissed quite callously when he gave one last look at the unconscious Kyoken.

Netherrealm stood up and almost fainted. "Using THAT much SP in quick succession, isn't good for the body," Netherrealm growled. Compa helped him walk, and he reluctantly accepted it. After a few steps, Netherrealm pulled himself off of Compa. Feeling better, besides the fact he can no longer use shadows for the time being.

"Here we are! That's where we found you Nep-Nep!" Compa chirped and Neptune's mouth was open in shock. "Wow... That's a huge hole right there..." Neptune admired the hole.

"Do you remember anything or not?!" Netherrealm growled impatiently. He just got out of a fight, and was tired. Netherrealm didn't want this to be a waste of his time. Neptune didn't say a word as she looked at the hole.

Netherrealm gripped her by the collar and pulled her up to his face. "HEY! I'm speaking to you! Wake up already!" He exclaimed in frustration. "Ah-! I can't remember a thing! Compa, are you sure I was stuck here?" Neptune asked. Netherrealm threw Neptune onto her ass. "Oww, meanie," Neptune pouted.

"This was a waste of my time! I knew this wouldn't do anything! Why did I think this would make you remember something so you could get out of my hair!" Netherrealm shouted and Neptune scrambled to her feet. The ground was cracking. "Umm, guys..?" Compa squeaked at your volume.

"I'm sorry Mr. Whiney Ninja Pants! I'm sorry that MY amnesia doesn't work how YOU want it to! I hope I can replace you with a NEW more NICER party member!" Neptune poked his cuirass multiple times to emphasize her point. "Nep-Nep..?" Compa tried to cut in. As the ground cracked some more.

"You have been nothing but useless! None of this was worth it! Next time you fall! I won't be here to save your ass!" Netherrealm shouted and he pushed Neptune, nearly making her fall again. She stumbled, but quickly regained her footing. "Netty! Nep-Nep!" Compa shouted, getting their attention. "WHAT IS IT?!" Netherrealm yelled.

The ground imploded as all three of them fell. Netherrealm grabbed onto Compa and Neptune's waists. Then positioned himself so his back is facing the impending collision with the ground.

As the world grew darker, Netherrealm hit the bottom with a echoing snap. Then, he could see no more as he fell into unconsciousness.
